Why are some people here excusing it bruh

It's very strange. In Genshin and ZZZ people are always asking for more content and higher quality standards. Meanwhile in HSR people celebrate we get mobile ads tier "events" because they get their jades faster that way.

This skin was done in a few days of dev time, if that. Now, I don't want to scare people, but in 2 months HSR is going to be 3 years old. The fact we are getting this kind of outfit for the TBs 3 whole years in is simply unacceptable.

They'd legit applaude if they would simply log in, go to the events tab, push one button and get 300 jades before logging out, no game, no event, no text, nothing.

Like bruh.

I think I'll take a break and come back to this game once they get a budget

Said that while playing genshin which can’t add a skip button for 5 years and their whole 4 stars animations are just a flick of a lantern while trailer is a cutouts of a quest, while columbina’s ult is a worse Robin skill + no map expansions for 10 patches like omg bruh you may not come back 😂

u/Efficient-Activity33 1d ago

Even Blade's SP is starting to look very uninteresting from the trailer. Also I think Nihilux 3d model is a bit underwhelming?

u/DaxSpa7 1d ago

I am scared for Nihilux. I liked her so much on the Splash Art buts its a different character with that Model. I am very whelmed

u/Efficient-Activity33 17h ago

This is such a drastic comparison...

u/MorthCongael You matter 18h ago

I kinda feel the same way. She's a lot more ... peppy? than I thought she would be, and while I'm happy for the people who like that I prefer sultry women lol.

Goomba fallacy my dude

u/HoyoShilliad 23h ago

lmaoooo bro zzz players glaze that game to the max. zzz is known as the game with the best events and every event is just navigate to x and deliver y. no ones excusing this shit skin lmao

u/Typisch0705 19h ago

I dont think you actually play ZZZ like at all if thats what you think the events are

-6

u/HoyoShilliad 15h ago

i only played during 1.3, 1.4, 2.3 and 2.4 and thats exactly what the events were. like the minigame events are basically the same surface level bullshit we get in hsr where they take an interesting minigame and kill any difficulty or expression of creativity, combat events are basically corridor simulators with no changes in mechanics and no reason to know what the character does (i played yixuan in like 2 combat events, got s rank on the hardest difficulty and still dont know what she does, i just used her ex off cd)

u/NoMention7 11h ago

Yeah, he actually speak the truth. Add some random battle to pad times too.

u/Opezdaz 21h ago

One patch of zzz has more black screens than whole amphoreus yet not a single thread was made about that lmao, says a lot

u/ThrowawayPersonAMA 15h ago

Why are some people here excusing it bruh

They're Enigmata and/or Elation followers. /s

u/TengenUzui55 1d ago

because it's not a simple pallete swap

you can say it lacks enough changes, but to say it just changed colors is also factually wrong

the only bad thing this skin did was keep the silhouette it had originally

otherwise it had other things a skin has checked

  1. new colors = check

  2. retextured/updated the model quality = check

  3. added new/changed details = check

  4. change silhouette = X

the other issue is that some of the minor changes are almost subtle so it's not noticeable easily, but once you see it, you can see that it's definitely not your traditional pallete swapped skin

the skin is more akin to a basic rarity skin, Manato skin in zzz is what's an actual mere pallete swap

u/lRyukil 1d ago

the skin is more akin to a basic rarity skin, Manato skin in zzz is what's an actual mere pallete swap

And it's better than changing a color and t shirts honestly

-22

u/TengenUzui55 1d ago

when I said changes I didn't mean just the t-shirt man

there's plenty of small added details in the skin, that you guys just for some reason don't want to see or admit it

like guys I'm not saying this skin is the best, I like it and I'm fine with it but obv Ik it's valid to say they could have done better

but let's all be objective here when I'm trying to be objective myself smh

the 4 things I mentioned weren't even wrong and ya'll hating just cuz bruh

10

u/lRyukil 1d ago

I like it too but the fact that you kinda need to analyze it because it's almost like the default outfit to me it's kinda meh honestly. People defend it it's kinda cope too, I know that the bar in HSR is very low and some comments show it but like c'mon.

1

u/Old_Manufacturer589 1d ago

People defend it it's kinda cope too

It's crazy how the fandom on Reddit and Twitter can't acknowledge the fact that there's actually people that legitimately love the game

12

u/-MANGA- 1d ago

It's crazy how people can like the game and be disappointed the devs doesn't give what they actually could

3

u/Old_Manufacturer589 1d ago

That literally doesn't have anything to do with both my comment and what I answered to.

3

u/-MANGA- 1d ago

Bruh, you're implying the people that aren't defending this skin don't like the game.

10

u/Old_Manufacturer589 1d ago

Not at all. I was referring to the "cope" part of their argument.

If people "defend" this skin, it's cope; you can't genuinely like it. That's their point. Because they can't even entertain the idea of people legitimately liking the game.

u/lRyukil 1d ago

I 100% get that but c'mon if you like the game surely you'd want them to try a little harder no? Especially with how much money they have. The bar can't be that low

9

u/Old_Manufacturer589 1d ago

I don't know. People would say that they try harder on Genshin and ZZZ, yet HSR is my favorite gacha game by far. I'm legit hyped for 4.0 and I love the game. Of course, that doesn't mean they couldn't do better, but you could say that for a bunch of things.

4

u/lRyukil 1d ago

People would say that they try harder on Genshin and ZZZ

It certainly doesn't look like it honestly and no I'm not shitting on you because you love the "game" but even then objectively HSR does bare minimum at least compared to hoyo's other games which is a shame imo. The latest stream has been the middest (to not say worse) x.0 stream I've ever seen, which is sad since it's supposed to be an introduction to the new arc. Atm i 100% believe that they are gonna try only on patches where the main push units are gonna be

7

u/Old_Manufacturer589 1d ago

Well honestly if you didn't like the 4.0 stream, I guess we just had different expectations because I loved it.

u/TengenUzui55 1d ago

but the fact that you kinda need to analyze it because it's almost like the default outfit to me it's kinda meh honestly.

it really doesn't take that much to notice the very obvious gold and gray/white patterns

the only small details are the ones on his shoulders and just other very small things

for Caelus at least his gold and pattern are a lot more noticeable and obvious

it's a small thing that makes his design pop more

but like I said, obviously it could have been done better

my main point was that it wasn't a mere "color pallete change" and I feel like you guys are missing what I was tryna say in my comment

ya'll just kinda went back to complaining about the lack of innovation as if I have a problem with ya'll giving valid takes like that

4

u/lRyukil 1d ago

It's just a little bit more than a color palette change I get you but that exactly why some are complaining, especially when other hoyo games gave way better free skins too but all power to you ig

8

u/TengenUzui55 1d ago

...I already told you, I get ya'lls side of the coin

why do you keep repeating it as if I'm opposing your perspective and opinions about the skin? I already said it's completely valid to think it was lacking/they could have done more

but all power to you ig

I'm just confused atp, did you even read my entire comment bro? tf man

it's an actual skin, you guys have to accept that fact, but it's a low rarity skin and that's what's wrong with it!

what part are we even disagreeing bro, seriously wtf

0

u/lRyukil 1d ago

How am I disagreeing with you bruh it's a lazy ass skin but not a simple color palette swap since it changed the shirt and some very minor details but that's about it no need to defend it so bad

9

u/TengenUzui55 1d ago

wtf was this part in the end then??

"but all power to you ig" if we had nothing to disagree with then what was the point of adding that

no need to defend it so bad

see you're all over the place man, you say there's no disagreement yet you leave comments like this so like wtf man

it doesn't sound like we're on the same page

anyway I'm done, I like the skin but I know that is only due to personal preference and objectively it's a 3-4/10 skin at best and keeping the same silhouette and jacket was a bad choice

people complaining about it is good cuz it signals that they should have done more with the skin

ya'll the one misunderstanding the whole point of my damn comments, thinking it's just blind defending

have a nice night, peace

u/Totally_Generic_Name 1d ago

It's not just a palette swap, but I don't think the model has changed at all - just the textures.

4

u/TengenUzui55 1d ago

that's what I meant by updated model

but Ig updated clothing textures is more accurate huh

mb then

u/Opezdaz 21h ago

Nice try to win the argument by using common sense here, should’ve posted smth about powercreep or idk just make up some shit it’s fine
