Hi guys, would you like to give me some feedback about the gamemode? I can send it in a more "direct" way.

Hi guys, I'm a whale.

And I'm also an early 1.x player.

I really like the gamemode and the community that is growing around it but ofc, like all the things, it has some issues.

Hoyo has a more "direct" feedback channel for veteran players that are also whales where we can send feedback directly to a personal assistant which will communicate it (hopefully) to the main dev team in a more direct way compared to the normal feedback channel.

Since I rarely use it, I thought it would be nice to collect some of the feedback you all want to give to the gamemode, make a file, and then give it to my direct feedback channel.

Maybe this way I can make your feedback get on a higher priority than it would normally be.

Ofc they could also ignore me anyway😂

So, please I would be happy to hear your feedback to the gamemode, this way I can prepare a full file about it.

(I've been already collecting some feedback from my friends).

New weekly mode releases with 2378 polychromes

Now that the new weekly got released we can see how many rewards it has.

All the pull counts got it wrong in the end, both those that said 5000 (lol) and those that said lower.

It also has 150 more polys from achievements bringing the total to 2528 polys.

Are you satisfied? (Genuine question)

This brings the total count for this patch in the bookkeeping to 139 pulls (still WIP)

Severian will be a wind attack agent

I never posted this 👀

Jokes aside, it's what I heard from someones that's sort of trustworthy.

Knew the miyabi skin was coming in 2.8 while 2.7 was beginning.

I also made a post about it on miyabi mains if someone wants to fact check this.

I would be satisfied by this typing and role, would you?

I kinda need a wind crit agent for the future and severian would cover that role perfectly.

Anyway, yall are free to bash on this post when severian leaks will come😂

Scamall hollow is PERFECT and exactly what hollows should look like.

It's just...prefect.

The ost, the atmosphere, the moving parts, the distorted space.

​

It's exactly what hollows should be and should look.

So glad they improved so much over lemnian hollow 🥲.

Lemnian didn't feel like a hollow at all, just concrete buildings over and over.

Timesworn hills was a bit better but just felt like a corrupted area outside the hollow, the whole distorted space and dangerous feel a hollow should have was just...gone.

Scamall is literally everything I wanted from the "open world" hollows.

​

By far one of the best parts of 3.0 for me.

​

THE OST MAN, so good

[ZZZ 3.0 Preload] Remielle - Half-baked menu animations (Lucia animations placeholder) Via RR

NOTE: in this build, she uses Lucia's animations as a placeholder. Though jiggle physics in outfit preview seem more or less real.

Take this with a grain of salt.

Lost my first nuzlocke against Lance (fire-red) (3 crit deaths) 🥲

Team - dead pokemons - normal box

​

I think I may close the run here tbh, I underestimated the level gap between victory road and the elite four + I think I had one of the worst lucks in my life.

​

Paralysis hit 3 times in a row, moltres got frozen 3 times in a row with ice punch, gengar crit on exeggutor and lance critting on almost every pokemon I had.

​

🥲 (the starter died thanks to rival ryhorn doing a 1 hit ko move and landing it right before the indigo plateau)

​

Whatever man, I guess...

It was still fun since it was the first time I tried a nuzlocke and I'm not exactly the best pokemon player but getting all those unlucky events in a row is a bit hard to digest.

About Annihilation Simulcrum: The hardcore gamemode, or Annihilation Simulcrum, also has a badge similar to Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault

This probably means that the endgame will rotate faster than other endgames like tower and threshold + the devs likely consider it on the level of DA and Shiyu.

u/QUIRK_Sans — 4 months ago

Interesting fact: Simulacrum is the only gamemode other than Shiyu and Deadly Assault with the crowns system for each clear

I think this means that will join DA and Shiyu in the resets, maybe not weekly but monthly or so, anyway it means its a recurring thing.

Should YOU pull Velina? Even if you have nangong? A simplified chart:

This is NOT a tierlist, this is meant to show what agents gain more from Velina and viceversa compared to Nangong.

  1. All agents are 01 unless it's said otherwise.

  2. 3rd agent is 00 Yuzuha with P5 cradle unless it's said otherwise

Burnice and Jane/Piper:

Always Bis, Velina is an insane upgrade for both Jane and burnice, expect kills with mid investment (against the new boss who is a bit weak tbh compared to some monsters we are used to fight rn like vesper tbh but still impressive) using her with both burnice and jane, thats how big the upgrade is.

(01, 01, 00 Burnice/Velina/Yuzuha managed to score 52k against the new boss, while 21, 01, 00 Jane/Velina/Yuzuha should kill 190M fiend with a few s to spare).

If you dont want to pull velina engine for Jane, using P5 Jane sig which is obtainable "for free" makes the kill possible even without Velina sig.

Jane M2 is a really big increase for Jane-Velina and Velina Engine is really really good for these units so I suggest pulling it if you want to use these units (Velina sig is twice as good as M1 for jane and has a 25-30% team dps increase for jane).

Insane glowup and must pull if you like these units.

Aria and Grace:

Velina is almost always performing better than Nangong with them, that said Nangong is not that far off so ig if you already have her it's on you.

Velina becomes 100% Bis for Aria only after 10 Velina, without M1 shes on par or slightly worse.

Promeia:

It really depends on the matchup for her, sometimes nangong is much better, sometimes they are equal and sometimes Velina is much better.

I would suggest pulling her even if you have Nangong only if you need to free Nangong from her and give her to other teams, otherwise no.

Nangong-Velina-Yuzuha is there for fun but since its an option I wanted to include it.

In general, for all the units below Promeia, I would say she's not worth it and you should skip her, especially if you have Nangong.

As a final disclaimer I want to point out that Remielle could change everything but this is the situation without knowing what Remielle does.

Thats it! Hope it helps with future pull plans.

Made with the help of JSM PS players community.

[CBT2 2023] Hoba ("New" Hz boss) splash art

Ok so funny thing, talking with some dataminers while we were looking at old cbt stuff we found out that Hoba and their balls were there the whole time and noone ever said anything about it sooooo.... Yeah lmao.

Anyway here they are, first image is hoba, the second one are his balls that are counted as separate enemies: HobaShootingStar.

I want to be clear, HOBA IS NOT IN 3.0 BETA, this is extremely ancient stuff back in cbt2 in 2023 and they are just images, no model, no fight.

I just thought it was cool to share this since noone ever noticed it and is very ancient (before the game even released).

Oh man Thrall is so fun!

I swear to god, this boss is the buggiest mess I've ever seen.

Who even coded this dude?

He disappears at random, sobek spawns here and there without reason, if you are slightly off course you will completely lose track of him, LIKE STOP!

He is also super annoying with the block, the random teleportations and the mist being off field so if he decides to camp in it you need to reset your whole run.

The only good thing about this boss is that you score decently against him but everything else is a complete mess!

Clarification about Hardcore Boss gamemode (Via Palito)

Simulated Annihilation Battle - (Codename: HardcoreBoss)

I'm back again to address something that some people inferred and others incorrectly claimed

“Normal” mode includes all characters, but they aren't YOUR CHARACTERS, they're trial characters, ALL OF THEM

You don't use your own characters in this mode

New Hardcore Boss mode UI (Via Palito)

Rewards are placeholders, do not take them as final (obviously, 1 bangboo chip lmao).

Drone exploration in 3.0 (Via Palito)

[ Zenless Zone Zero - 3.0 Beta ]

Drone exploration in the new areas

Scattered across Roscaelifer, you can jack into recon drones and fly to places your agents can't reach

In the full game they're used to charge devices, break barriers, find hidden passages and more, private server so objectives didn't trigger, but you can see the idea.
