Dear Travelers,

Thanks to your support, Genshin Impact has won the " PlayStation®Partner Awards 2021 GRAND AWARD" and "PlayStation Game Music Award (1st Runner-Up)"! Thank you for coming alongside us through this journey.

We will be giving out 800 Primogems from December 4 to December 7!

*How to Claim Rewards: 200 Primogems shall be given out to Travelers via in-game mail at 00:00 (server time) each day from December 4 to December 7. These Primogems can be claimed at any time before the end of Version 2.3. All Travelers who have reached Adventure Rank 7 or above can claim a total of 800 Primogems via in-game mail.

Yup. This was supposed to be paid because it's literally in the official patch notes.

>8. New Bundle "Boundless Symphony" will be added to the Shop at a later date: Purchase this bundle to receive Special Namecard Style: "Celebration: Tuneful Delight," Special Furnishing: "Splendid Phrase," Special Wind Glider: "Wings of Poetic Melodies," and Primogems × 1,000.

FYI, this leak was hinted at by Mihoyo Devs 3 months ago here.

>Q: When will Paimon be able to enter the Serenitea Pot? I want to see her in there.
>
>A: It has been noted by the developers. Paimon will be able to enter the Serenitea Pot in a future version~

PSA: According to the news page, the Fate Points will not carry over to the next Weapon Gacha

> At the end of the current period of Epitome Invocation, any current Fate Points will be cleared.

Xiao was orginally imagined long, flowing robes, but that was eventually scrapped due to clipping issues.

Hence I think it's a very nice suprise to see at least his lower body clothed like that in a official design. But chances are that means we'll never see it as a skin due to clipping issues.

Free!

>The next generation edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will release as a standalone purchase for PC, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, as well as a free update for everyone who already owns the game on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Here is the official patch notes showing proof it was supposed to be a paid bundle. And now it is given for free as damage control.

>8. New Bundle "Boundless Symphony" will be added to the Shop at a later date: Purchase this bundle to receive Special Namecard Style: "Celebration: Tuneful Delight," Special Furnishing: "Splendid Phrase," Special Wind Glider: "Wings of Poetic Melodies," and Primogems × 1,000.

>To correct something the glider was actually leaked to be in a cash grab bundle for the concert along with some furnitures. It seems they are gonna divide that bundle into these consoling gifts.

It isn't just leaked, but actually, the paid bundle was announced in MHY patch notes for 2.1, the 8th point under VIII. Other Additions. So yeah, it was initially planned to be a paid bundle, but I'm guessing given the major backlash for the anniversary, this was tossed out as damage control.

Lots of people complaining it was "cringe", I assume. It's actually been slowly patched out, in their early QnAs for the CBTs it used to be extremely obnoxious and was toned down with every subsequent post until every roleplaying aspect was removed.

That's the same video they already showed at gamescom (they had two, this is basically selection of scenes from both), I suggest reading the blog instead, there is some detailed explanation and additional info about each scene in the video, you'll learn some cool things that aren't evident just from watching.

What I hope we'll seen in future is more automation, or selection of advisors and messengers like in some mods, so you don't have to run around the map and do every single minute thing - asking for additional troops (by simply sending messenger) while I'm waiting and trying to siege a castle would be the best thing ever. That way I could spend more time on cow herding.

Fun fact: Each of them have different accompanying music! You can read more about it in this article, if you scroll down to the 3rd talking point: Developer Insight #3 - Behind the Music of Genshin Impact

Xiao is an illuminated beast. But as Yaksha, he decided to keep a human form. It's implied his true form is that of garuda. I believe something similar to a harpy.

There's a Developer Insight on him that goes pretty in-depth.

Did you buy this just for playing genshin? If so, I would return it and get a laptop that can run the game. If your budget is less than 1k usd, you can get an acer nitro 5 or asus tuf with a lower end gpu. If you can’t afford any gaming laptop, some laptops with integrated graphics can run the game at or above 30 fps at lowest settings. I have an old i5-7200U with integrated graphics that can run at 30 fps lowest settings.

Here are the requirements to run the game

It's right there in the Witcher website my friend

>Switcher is coming in 2019

The underrated geniuses at CDPRojekt are always one steap ahead

>: Il Dottore, the mad scientist harbinger, is basically HEAVILY implied to be kidnaping/conscripting young adults and children from the other countries to train in the fight pits under Schezniah, and be Guinea pigs for his experiments. His experiments being SPECIFICALLY science involving Mist Grass, which in turn, relates him to the Cicin mages, whom all summon Cicin using? ... Mist Grass.!<

Big Ole update that adds the multiplayer, adds a 3rd person view, emotes, additions and improvements to base building, bunch of other neat stuff. It's finally become the game they said it'd be, only took em 2 years and it was very much worth the wait.

Here are the patch notes for the update.

Old but gold, Dev insights into Yu-Peng's music design

https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/5000

Also an interview with him that gives you even more insights

http://www.vgmonline.net/yu-pengchen/

https://www.nomanssky.com/2018/07/a-message-to-the-community/

The update comes out whenever it comes out, agreed. But if the team is not going to communicate, then messages like this one that they themselves put out don't seem genuine. Just because they are a small studio does not exempt them from what I think is a fair criticism: they said they would be more open and more outwardly communicative, and they are not. I've never asked for them to release it early, or to announce a release date, and I think implying anybody here is demanding they immediately release the update is being disingenuous. The larger complaint is not a desire for the update to drop, but for Hello Games to simply provide information on WHAT we are waiting for.

You announce a release window for summer, then by summer you need to provide more information if not a release date. This is standard for all forms of media. If Hello Games is running into some problems, by all means delay the update: but TELL US so we're on the same page. If you announce a release window and then, by that time you've announced, you still have no new information to go on, it comes off as being unprepared and disorganized. It's a bad look, and one I think HG doesn't need to have if they just say something.

Nobody I've seen is demanding an update come out this minute. Everybody I've talked to about it just want HG to talk to us like they said that they would, even if it means being given bad news. Please don't pretend that players are being entitled when we were actually told that the team would talk to us.

Yes.

>In the Musou Isshin state, Raiden Shogun will attack with a sword. These attacks are considered Normal Attacks at this time. Thus, they can trigger the effects associated with Normal Attack movement types, for example: the increase in Normal ATK SPD granted by the weapon Skyward Spine,

By the way, the animation designers have in fact gone into depth about how they create animations for characters (or well rather specifically Xiao, but it gives us a window into the other ones). They use things like movie stunts (both "real" ones and ones that use wires) as inspiration, some of them are also mo capped although a few more 'impossible' ones are done manually. Some of the images in the link above are dead now but I think you can get the gist of it that way.

I can believe that. Mihoyo even released a whole page of character development notes when Xiao came out explaining all the chinese cultural influences in his designs. He is the only character they've done that so far

Thanks for that, many good details in blog post 11

Some highlights that got me hyped

• "One thing that we didn't show in the video, though, was our deployment screen. All of the siege weapons are placed freely by the players, so there is full control over how to assault the walls."

• "The four sides of a village can all be made into different types of production, with the unique option of turning one into a castle."

• "What's really interesting is that AI Lords start new projects and modify their villages over time, just like the player."

• "Though that is balanced by the power of larger, stronger weapons to hit more than one foe with a single swing!"

• "The gameplay effects of this will also be felt by players who try to wage war in the winter, as troops will suffer greater losses to morale, demanding more food and fuel."

As a Christian, I'm kicking myself for not realizing this sooner.

You know what though- all things considered, I can't help but think that this is deliberate. The darkest dungeon game, IMHO is Dismas's redemption story.

We start with the highwayman comic. Dismas is nothing more than a murder, and it's only after gunning down a child that he fully realizes the monster he's become.

Dismas isn't a young man, if his character image is anything to go by. Who knows how many lives he's taken. How many people he's robbed. How Mapuche injustice he's committed over the course of his life.

At the start of the game, dismas is a broken man seeking redemption- the game itself hints as much. The opening cut scene you get after making a new game file ends with the haunting line, "the old road will take you to hell. But in that gaping abyss... we will find our redemption."

What separates the Dismas from the various brigands and thieves you fight in the game? It's not just that Dismas is on another side- it's that he's left his old life behind in a vigorous (and potentially martyrous) pursuit of driving out one of the greatest evils in the world.

Also, I've got my theory that Dismas was the one the Ancestor sent the letter to, and is actually the Ancester's bastard son with some prostitute from when the Ancestor was much younger (it's been well established that the Ancestor was a unrepentant hedonist). But this is more pure speculation than anything else.

TL;DR Dismas is my favorite darkest dungeon character. I'm a sucker for redemption themes.

Cannot find the official post anymore either. But, it is there in the "News" section on their main website. It must be convenient for them that its not possible to comment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Every time I check back on Genshin something worse is going on lmao

you can find it here> https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/15980

I hate to break it to you man but this isn't planned at all.

This is the Mihoyo Patch notes for 2.1 if you look on section VIII bullet point 8, you can clearly see it was intended to be for sale/purchasable and this is clearly damage control. here's the quote:

>8. New Bundle "Boundless Symphony" will be added to the Shop at a later date: Purchase this bundle to receive Special Namecard Style: "Celebration: Tuneful Delight," Special Furnishing: "Splendid Phrase," Special Wind Glider: "Wings of Poetic Melodies," and Primogems × 1,000.

https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/7524

Sum up but I suggest reading the article still:

Geo resonance was bad, his cast for hold e was too long making him easy to ragdoll, had to pick between pillar and shield when using e, weaker shield with 250% geo damage absorption (how many things attack with geo), split scaling making building a bit awkward.

Other variables: lore and marketing seemed to indicate a dps character. He felt heavily locked by constellations compared to previous units (c0 being as quoted "half a unit") so people were worried all future units would be like this. There were not a lot of other characters with geo constructs that worked well with zhongli (albedo).

Goddamn it's been five years since they announced Bannerlord. Hell, it's been so long that the images on the first announcement expired.

C'mon Taleworlds, I need a decent RTS/FP...S? hybrid that isn't a decade old.

The new mechanic is explained here: https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/14047

In short, you need 2 fate points that you get by losing the 50/50 between the two featured weapons (I think losing the 75/25 gives no fate points) after choosing the one you want. Changing weapons mid-banner removes the points, and those points go back to 0 for each banners.

This isn’t made for low spenders and F2P at all unfortunately

What bugs me is they released a statement saying that they will increase load for this update and the increase is dependent on the device yet all everyone got is enough load to place a tree or two, even for those who with high-end hardware.

Here's the rest for those who are interested

They also noted "If there are seven schools to choose from, but only three are really viable, then you don't have seven choices, you have three."

I hope this means some serious overhauls to school identity.

Step 1: Install ScummVM, a program that lets you run adventure games made in the Scumm engine on modern machines.

Step 2: Acquire Putt-Putt through questionable means.

Step 3: Childhood.

The NEXT update its pretty huge, all kinds of new features and multiplayer if i'm correct. They really made this game good over the past years.. here a link to the NEXT blog: https://www.nomanssky.com/2018/07/no-mans-sky-next-trailer/

It's been patched a few times, improving the existing game and adding new stuff.

https://www.nomanssky.com/news/

It's still nothing like what was shown pre-release but it's definitely better today.

Has anyone noticed that Xaio’s Eng voicelines on the official website is gone and now marked with “Coming soon”? His JP lines are still up though.

Here is what I mean

RenPy is used commercially for visual novels and point and click adventures.

There's quite a few RenPy games on Steam and many more on those adult anime dating game vendor sites.

Bannerlord is anything but a small project.

https://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/9

Battle sizes and scope of project is expected to be 2x+ more than Mount and Blade, which was already a ridiculously in-depth game.

It does involve maths, but it's a very different type of maths to what you learn in school. I know programmers who hate maths and mathematicians who hate programming.

EDIT: If you start off by writing Visual Novels, which is a very writing focused style of game, you won't need to know very much programming and it will involve hardly any maths at all. I recommend checking out turorials for Ren'Py.

EDIT 2: Twine is also a good shout.

https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/13423

"In Version 1.6, Travelers can take part in the limited-time event "Echoing Tales" to obtain Barbara's outfit "Summertime Sparkle" for free. After the end of Version 1.6, the outfit will be available in the Character Outfit Shop."

They specifically said free for this. I didn't see the word free at all for the glider bundle.

Never mind, the hopium pants are not coming on.

They only took down the post version of the announcement (as in the version of it that allows comments and had the overwhelmingly negative responses).

The news article version of that announcement (which does not have a comment section) remains: https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/15980

So it seems far more plausible now that they are only attempting to more or less censor the enormous backlash rather than actually change the rewards for the better.

I don't know if I'm spoiled by other games' open development (most recently Paradox games, Stellaris specifically) but I really thought that they'd be more open with Bannerlord.

I mean, they were talking about a possible early access last year! I know it's better to hold if off if it's not ready and would cause a bad first impression, but that should mean they have at least some, if not most, mechanics done, at least in design. They should be able to talk about them, no? Or at least share screenshots?

The last blog post was in July 2016... I really don't understand this extreme silence :(

Eh, depends. Ironically 1 year out NMS put out Atlas Rises which more or less hit what they initially promised.

But the consensus was that year 2 of NMS, NEXT, was the bread winner that turned things around. Every year after that has just been gravy.

So maybe next year for Cyberpunk?

In the Developers Insight about Xiaos design it is implied that his Vision is fake, since his powers come from being an Adeptus.

>For adepti such as Cloud Retainer and Mountain Shaper, the human
understanding is that they must have an "inner eye" that serves the same
purpose as a Vision. Xiao, however, typically appears in a human form,
so he dutifully wears a Vision to comply with the expected norm.

Officially known: RTX, HDR, "visual improvements" (may just be the outcome of the former two), technical improvements, faster loading times.

Rumored: improvements from the most popular Witcher 3 mods are carried over to the remaster (creator of HD Reworked project was approached by CDPR to work on the remaster.)

He’s a Fatui Harbinger who does experiments on kids to make delusion, a mad scientist hails from Sumeru iirc. He appears in the short promotional manga so if you’re interested, check that out manga.

They actually confirmed in a blog years ago that one year will be condensed to 12 weeks, effectively making the years pass about 4.35 times faster. If we can suspend disbelief on that then I feel like you could also just have aging occur at twice the rate so that a baby reaching maturity at say 16 would take 672 in-game days. Add more travel time in the bigger map and hopefully more ways to make the time pass quickly during peace and I think that'd be a reasonable amount of time to have a child ready in the mid-late game. Definitely interesting to think about what other ways they might make it work, some may have to be modded in to reach the feature's full potential.

i heard about renpy a while ago, it's a visual novel engine that you can code with literally just YAML (basically just write out the script in a super simple but structured format) and can run on Android, iOS, Windows, mac, linux.

could host it on 0xacab.org too

I would just like to point out that you dont HAVE to go through this gruelling experience, unless you want The Catch and its R5 early.

There'll be a fishing event soon that'll add a lot of fish in your world, so you can use this opportunity to get The Catch to R5

https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/15386

it was mentioned in their official update notice as well

https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/15383

Go to the "Other Additions" section, its there. Expect a name card and a teapot furnishing in the next mails

I'll be honest as a long-time fan. They've added a lot of good content. Hello Games have released free update after free update. They added a storyline, base-building, and a whole slew of other stuff (you can check it out here: https://www.nomanssky.com/). Do I feel that much of the exploration that I bought it for was marginalized in the process? Yes. Luckily, the NEXT update coming on Tuesday shows improvement in generation that is going to be wonderful for exploration (improved terrain, fauna, and flora).

Generally full patch notes are posted here when ready: https://www.nomanssky.com/release-log/

If anything I'd argue that letting devs at the helm of communication killed the NMS marketing. Sean Murray seemed authentic and honestly hyped for the game but ended up talking up tons of features that didn't make the 1.0 release.

https://www.nomanssky.com/prisms-update/

> SPACE STATION CORE The Space Station hangar has been dramatically overhauled. Please observe flightpath conventions while docking. The station controller will be watching…

Setup for next patch maybe.

I can almost promise you the teams for honkai and genshin are different. Plus, according to their recent developer’s discussion, they’re looking at buffing reactions. LINK

If anyone wants to play these games again, there is a program you can use to play them here. You can get games here (includes Putt-Putt, Pajama Sam, Freddi Fish, Spy Fox, etc.)

"Today we’re releasing Patch 1.31 on PS4, and it will follow soon on Steam. This fixes a number of issues including:"

tldr is that it seems like everything is shared and carryovers counts. We could just switch around between banners for the desired units.

>Q: Is there any way to obtain gadgets from events that I've missed? I regret missing out.

>A: For Travelers who have missed out, don't worry. In Version 2.2, Travelers can use Mora to purchase the Windblume Festival Commemorative Balloon, Windsong Lyre, and Wind-Blessed Harpastum gadgets from Marjorie's store in Mondstadt~

Patch notes can be found here:

https://www.nomanssky.com/prisms-update/?cli_action=1622640464.247

You can't deny the amount of work Hello Games has put into this, the game has improved significantly since it's release in 2016, and it's still ongoing!

For those worried about microtransactions, it seems as if everyone forgot what was said in the patch notes:

"Soon after the release of No Man’s Sky NEXT, Hello Games has planned its first season of weekly content and community events.

This will be free for all players, with no microtransactions."

https://www.nomanssky.com/next-update/

Stop misinforming people.

Outfits didn't get more expensive, it has to do with the Event Cart system.

"Right now, you will see on the Outfits tab a different purchase price which has been placed due to technical limitations.

This is necessary to make sure the final price of the Event Card bundle items are correctly calculated and the proper discounts are applied.

For example, if you had selected a Premium Set of 3,400 Pearls as starting price, it would be marked down to 2,516 Pearls which is an incorrect calculation.

Please keep in mind that the prices on the outfits will only be shown during the event period of 4/18 After Maintenance to 5/2 Before Maintenance.

After the Event Cart promotion is over, the prices of the outfits will be displayed in the way before this promotion."

The NMS devs "unofficially" sort of support Linux. They've released patches in the past that address Linux issues. For example - https://www.nomanssky.com/2019/08/beyond-patch-2-08a/ >Fixed Steam VR in Linux.

Linux certainly isn't a primary platform for them, but they do seem to keep an eye on it.

We did have PvP, in the form of Windtrace and with the recent events of Theatre Mechanicus and Seelie event, we'll have it rerun.

However, direct combat PvP with other players will absolutely never happen.

1. The game isn't made for combat PvP, take a look at Zhongli and Ganyu, their existence alone makes PvP unfair. The top meta teams in this game will have either of the two or both.
2. Implementing combat PvP in a game like this would make it even more P2W and considering that every single PvP gacha game has a motive for you to use it, expect people complaining every single day and voicing out their complaints.
3. Making a PvE game into a PvP game will be the end of it, such as the case of Kingdom Hearts Unchained X which recently closed this year. Powercreep became abundant after PvP was implemented and new medals(the reason you pull in the gacha in this game) were always more broken than the last.
4. Mihoyo also has no intentions on focusing or creating PvP content as from an announcement from them. "Furthermore, gameplay modes like PVP multiplayer or intense one-on-one battles will not be our future priorities either." https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/570

There is a comic that Red Hook released about the various classes, This is the Leper's :http://www.darkestdungeon.com/darkest-dungeon-presents-the-leper/

There is no dialogue, but the things that are inferred are this: He was a loved and respected noble man, who left his home of his own free will despite the adoration of his community/subjects. As for why, it's entirely possible he does this as a Death March, a way to try and do some good before his body falls apart.

As for his combat prowess, there is a funny thing about Leprosy. It tends to dull the nerves and cause vision issues, which could be used to explain why he's such a tanky hard hitter with accuracy issues. It's also possible it's just a side benefit to explain away video game class archetypes.

As for why the hamlet doesn't ostracize him, I don't think Red Hook thought of that sort of mechanic before they implemented the Abombination. So it's likely just gameplay and story segregation.

Huh I didn't see that. It does seem to imply that they will be different but at the same time it could just be clarifying how the pity work. Guess we will find out soon.

Link for those curious

If you meant this website

https://genshin.mihoyo.com/

Then it's safe because it's literally their own website.

Another one that is actually safe is this website

https://www.codashop.com/

They are official partner with Mihoyo.

Other than that no, never safe.

Side note: I have never seen anyone getting banned from buying "cheap" crystals, only when that questionable "cheap" crystals got refunded and it got to negative crystal, then you don't top it up, that will get you banned.

This is why it never safe to topup with anyone else, because the chance you getting "scam" like that are high even though you already did really got your crystals.

q&a on official website:

https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/596

Q13: Can we have/build our own homes in the game world?

Paimon: Yes you can! (o゜▽゜)o☆ But you may have to wait for somewhere between 1 and 10,000 days for it to be ready... Please give us more time~

&#x200B;

they mentioned it more on their website back in april as well, so yes it's in development

Yes the gameplay is fantastic. The combat is the most enjoyable combat I have ever experienced in an MMO. The combat is action based and uses a combo system. There are tons of systems involved in the game. I think the best way I have heard it put is that the game is like The Witcher MMO. You can spend days just talking with people around town. You could also just power grind mobs to max level and fight boss mobs (raid bosses) or GVG, PVP. The game has some faults but overall I really enjoy it. (playing on KR servers)

[edit] wow massive downvotes for liking a game..... k thx reddit

[edit] Update for those who are interested. A Standalone version of the Character Creator is available. Feel free to check it out!! Just release today!!

It was stated here - https://thewitcher.com/en/news/32870/base-game-and-expansions-available-separately-on-nintendo-switch

It's damage control

It once was going to be a part of a package you buy at the shop. This is written on the patch notes. Mihoyo decided to give it away I guess.

Let's wait for tomorrow and see what we got.

Found this:

"The topography of the map is not entirely consistent with Warband, in fact Bannerlord's map is somewhat more mountainous. The effect of this is an increase in the number of choke points. It will be hard to avoid conflict, for instance, when traversing narrow passes through mountain ranges that may be riddled with ambush spots or enemy patrols. Tactically, the map offers many more options for controlling areas that serve as trade routes. Battles are often fought in the game to contest key choke points with the goal of securing passage for trade caravans and other parties. "

&#x200B;

Sounds promising!

&#x200B;

https://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/14

The way patches work is they have to go through CERT (Certification) to make sure the patch wont brick your console, so it goes through heavy testing. 1.52 is live as of July 27. 1.52.1 Was Sent to CERT July 30th, it takes few days to process. 1.53 was sent today so it will take another few days. You'll get your updates whenever Microsoft/Sony clear CERT.

Looks like Xbox is actually behind, on getting 1.52. Microsoft takes longer than sony it seams.

no worries, the title is just for attention but Teyvat was initially declared as the name of the world when you download the game

https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/map

> You have arrived in Teyvat — a fantasy world where the seven elements flow and converge. In the distant past, the Archons granted mortals unique elemental abilities. With the help of such powers, people formed a bountiful homeland out of the wilderness. However, 500 years ago, the collapse of an ancient civilization turned the universe upside down... Though the calamity the world suffered has ceased, peace has yet to be restored.

I mean, it's not a rumor. Here's the letter from CBT2.

&#x200B;

https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/3050

&#x200B;

I mean, things can change over time of course. I assume it's still something being worked on though.

&#x200B;

The "Homeland System". Sounds more than just housing with that name.

Meme is funny ok, but you realize letting BDO without a good competitor will only enable PA/Kakao to sell even more senseless P2W shit on the pearl shop without actually pushing them to make the game better because of the lack of any need to preventing player base migration?

I can immagine the scene at their board meeting:

CEO: Guys we must do something to counter this new game our player base might be migrating to, what can we do?

BOARD MEMBER.1: Listen more to their feedback, make a PTR for PVP changes, address the server issues.

BOARD MEMBER.2: QoL changes, give them a way to craft pets and and an in-game way to reset horse skills.

BOARD MEMBER.3: Reward old players as much as we are incentivating new ones, we could increase Loyalty intrinsic value and make all the Pearl Shop items available for Loyalty as an option.

CEO: Hey guys but these are really marvellous ideas! I can't fathom why I never had them myself before ... But wait, wait, wait ... we might not need all that at the moment, the other game failed at launch! *trollface*

Just archive all your ideas in the emergency drawer and just sell our dear and loyal player base another tent, but with the due amount of RNG built into it this time, I don't know can we make the tents breed into RNG tiers? Add wings or fluffy ears to higher tiers to make the shit plausible so they bait better. And no coupons until Christmas!! Gotta go guys, a girl fell off the yacht and she's not even wearing a shark costume lol...

BOARD MEMBERS: *chuckles in Korean*

CEO: Next time, the board meeting is adjourned.

EDIT 30/05/2018: It wasn't a tent it was moar RNG pet boxes!

Doesn't sound like a big event or anything

>8. New Bundle "Boundless Symphony" will be added to the Shop at a later date: Purchase this bundle to receive Special Namecard Style: "Celebration: Tuneful Delight," Special Furnishing: "Splendid Phrase," Special Wind Glider: "Wings of Poetic Melodies," and Primogems × 1,000.

You can read first 13 chapters here, and rest of it here. Since manga is 16 chapter but mihoyo translated only 13 chapter. So the second link is fan translation (chapter 14, 15 and 16).

What do you mean? Sean Murray confirmed that VR will become part of the game with the Beyond update for free, and VR players will be able to play with non-VR players.

NMS is a wonderful game of exploration and discovery, you should be able to enjoy it too. Please send the same post to the help center on the NMS website (https://www.nomanssky.com/next-update).

ATM the devs are working on patches for the latest update, but I really think that they'll be happy to provide you with advice as soon as NEXT is stable.

Welcome, new interloper!

Hey u/PlagueOfGripes , if you are interested in actually making a visual novel out of this I can help out you with that.

Most visual novels you see on Steam are made with a library/framework called Ren'Py. This uses the Python programming language for game logic and a custom scripting language for dialogue/scenes. The custom scripting language is very easy to learn and Python is a relatively easy language to get into. Ren'Py is Open Source and free to use without any royalties, payments, obligations or anything like that.

I'm a developer and I'm experienced in Python and toyed a little bit with Ren'Py (never made a visual novel before though). I can help you in one of two ways, as you prefer:

• I can give you advise, sample code, help and code resources for Python and Ren'Py. Also if you are considering another programming language/framework/library to make the visual novel I can give you an educated guess of how it is, pros, cons, etc.

• I can actually develop the game for you. I can spare between 10 and 15 hours per week (I have a full time job as a dev), I would do this for free only because you plan on releasing the game for free and I think that people could benefit from such a game existing. Think of it as community service. If you want to confirm I can do the job, I can make a small proof-of-concept game in Ren'Py.

Either way, if you are interested or want my contact info just send me a PM.

>A thousand years ago, the Calradoi were one of a dozen tribes living in the hill country between the southern sea and the Battanian woods. Over time, they subjugated their neighbours, forcing them into a confederation of city-states.

The other comment sounds flippant but it really has improved quite a lot, with headline features like basebuilding and exocrafts but also in a number of subtle but fundamental ways, like revamping terrain generation, resource distribution, and crafting recipes.

I would recommend looking at the update pages on their website: Foundation and Pathfinder

I've always found it completely silly that a player going afk from the game and triggering the
Stellar Reunion event (https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/7489) over and over (No log in for 14 days+, and 45+ days since last triggering Stellar Reunion), would get a max refine rancour fastest than someone actually playing the game and doing weeklies each week.

You're not the only person to come up with this theory, but the simple fact is that it's incorrect. The writers actually addressed this.
Q: Did Morganthe have any hand in the Malistaire arc? (There are rumors she poisoned Sylvia, etc.)
A: No.

Morganthe resurrected Malistaire for the simple reason that she needed his help with the Lords of Night. It had nothing to do with her hatred of him.

Even though the subreddit is community-operated, it is still an official subreddit, and datamining is technically against miHoYo's terms of service.

As much as we would like to give players more freedom in discussions, we have to set certain limitations to protect the community and the players, while maintaining a reasonable balance between the public interest and the game's interest.

As someone pointed out below, it's still up in the news section on the website, so it just looks like they removed the hoyolab version to hide all the negative comments.

https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/15980

The developer has stated as clearly as they can that this form of content isn't happening. Source info - https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/570
The game isn't balanced for PvP content, and they won't balance (read nerf) for PvP, since that would effect the desirability of the character.

Honestly, what the game needs is a repeatable rewarding dungeon, probably rogue lite, so its randomised to a degree. Something you can grind when you are out of resin, basically. Alternatively they could actually make the open world functional; respawn chests, more xp/mora from mobs, all mobs have a 40% chance to drop fodder artifacts, again, stuff to do when out of resin...

In the time it took you to come to reddit, click new post, type details in, then click post... You could have just gone to www.blackdesertonline.com and click the news post that tells you. It's right there on the front page.

It is worth $30 easily. It has multiplayer already, the promised features have been implemented, and many more features have been added. Since release the game has grown substantially.

They've added stuff like base construction, quests, freighters, frigates, freighter bases, planetary bases (anywhere now), portals, community events, a real story, enhanced graphics, vehicles, archeology, character customization, a bunch more biomes including improved underwater biomes, a great photo mode, and more that I cannot think of currently.

Just watch the videos for the named patches (Foundation, Path Finder, Atlas Rises, Next, The Abyss, and Visions): https://www.nomanssky.com/release-log/

The game was a buggy unplayable mess at launch and deserved every bit of criticism it received yet IMO calling it anything short of good now is disingenuous.

This looks magnificent, great job

Spore name is "Quetzalcoatl" is a Mesoamerican deity whose name comes from the Nahuatl language and means "feathered serpent"

60 primos & 10k mora. Dunno where the code originally came from, just saw it being shared. Someone said it might've come from Bilibili ^^idk

Based on Xiao's Vision lore, all adepti are capable of wielding the elements and have powers basically equating to a Vision, but it's unknown whether this power comes from Celestia and follows the same 'rules' as Visions for humans. From this article also on Xiao, it states that Adepti in Teyvat are explicitly non-human, as humans are considered to have a 'higher purpose'. Xiao's physical vision is apparently just to fit in with his human form.

Ganyu and Yanfei received Visions (presumably from Celestia) later in life, and both are also half-adepti. Ganyu's Vision lore says that it "[granted] her power to resonate with the world to a degree beyond her natural abilities.", which implies that she wasn't as strong before without a Vision.

Still, Ganyu had to have some natural power of her own to fight in the war, likely due to her half-blooded heritage combined with being raised/trained by the adepti growing up (they still have their own magic after all). Yanfei in comparison is far more like a regular human who just acquired a Vision through the usual ambition/motivation, especially since she grew up in the city during a time of peace and isn't as close to her adepti side as Ganyu.

Probably won’t be mentioned in the actual ability description, but it’ll be present.

They addressed the increased interrupt resist in the post, but have it marked with an asterisk.

They buffed Geo resonance(15% dmg increase?!?) because of people complaining on Zhongli, but ignored the fact that Electro is underpowered. Kinda sad, but I think the only way they'll buff Electro is when a Zhongli-like incident happened.

Are you sure, though? The official site says:

> Three regional salvage quests will become available on November 16, and three further regional salvage quests will become available on November 17. After all the regional quests are unlocked, Travelers must clear the first three salvage quests and claim the corresponding rewards in order to access the following three salvage quests.

Have you tested it on a second account? Or are you just assuming it works the way you think?
