yeah im weird like that im an aesthetics person. not an absolute game breaker but i would significantly prefer not to have that huge floating glowy ball next to my char at all times

bro please tell me it isnt so i want combat to at least feel intuitive not literally staring at the bar and waiting for skills to come off cooldown

Can't tell if the hate is just relocated hatred towards p2w (which I couldn't care less about btw, I don't care about being a "top rank" in a game, and no sane game will strictly cater to "top ranks") or if there are actual features in the game which are lacking?

Sorry if the title seems abrasive, I'm not too sure how to word it. But basically in my experience, those within my family with Asperger's (as well as family friends) tend to carry this trait, and I'm not sure if it's a pattern amongst people with Asperger's in general.

Basically, they will definitively state "X is Y" for things that are absolutely blatantly correct, as if it is unmoving fact. A severe exaggeration, yet oddly in line with the experience, is you could talk about what color the sky is and they'll say "The sky is definitely red". This kind of thing happens often, and it piques my curiosity on two levels:

1. Is there any awareness of the incorrectness?

2. If there is awareness, why not just not make the statement? Or present it in a way where it isn't stated as fact

It's a lot to explain, but I basically own 600+ pages of hand drawn, pre published manuscripts from an artist named Marika Hirasono, and after many hours of rigorous research, I've come to learn that the intersections of where her published works appeared is... frankly utterly insane. I say "one of a kind" due to the sheer volume of it. And for those who know, know that manga production material is in a scarcity league of its own compared to production material like cels.

I'm talking moments of intersection with very famous moments, like the first appearance ever of Sailor Moon, essentially all (without even failing to miss a single instance) of Naoko Takeuchi's pre-Sailor Moon works, some other notable works like Rayearth, Saint Tail, Miracle Girls, Goldfish Warning! or Nanairo Magic. It's really neat. There are simply way too many to list so I'll just rapid fire a couple neat ones (I happen to own all the hand drawn manuscripts mentioned below, as well):

- - -

This is the first publicized ideological conception/connection to her Sailor universe. Naoko Takeuchi mentions one of her favorite books is the Edogawa Ranpo’s Boy Detectives Series. It is later confirmed this distinctly inspired Tuxedo Mask (likely the theme as a whole). One of Marika Hirasono's pages was literally printed on the same page, back to back

Here's the first appearance of anything actually Sailor Moon related, and you can see Marika Hirasono's name (平園マリ香) on the ad there. I have the manuscript the ad points to (August 1991 RunRun, first chapter of Sailor V):

- - -
First usage of the "Pretty Sailor" phrase, which eventually evolved into the Sailor Moon title. Ad for the same issue as above

- - -
And these are self explanatory, a couple instances where her name (平園マリ香) is seen on notable covers themselves

There are distinct moments I'm not mentioning. I tend to love what I call a "signature match". A signature is basically a 16 or 32 page large sheet which is printed all at once, and folded into a small packet. Once all of these packets are complete at the press, they're then glued together in a single magazine. To me, in these instances, the elements are "birthed" together. There are some insane signature matches (whether through things like shared manuscripts, or Marika Hirasono appearing in an ad): first Sailor Moon chapter/Sailor Venus first appearance in SM/the famous "first kiss"/famous climax of the first arc (manga+anime expressed this moment differently, iykyk)/Super Chibi Moon transformation/Act 8 (which ended up being the first act formally published in the West. And for those who know, Sailor Moon is one of the pivotal works that made manga popular in the west)/and way more. So far upon my research I've found over 100 'moments' like these, some stronger and more impactful than others.

I have an instagram where I'm posting Marika Hirasono's work themselves, to celebrate her as an artist (hopefully I don't come off as only enjoying the beauty of the 'context' of her work, I do appreciate the work itself. It's a high gravity collection to have in person), but I don't want to break the self promote rule lol. But yeah, thought this was pretty unique and worth sharing. For those who don't know, what's also cool about owning manuscripts themselves is you can physically see the editorial work that's done on the pages themselves, all by the same team who worked on Nakayoshi during that period of time.

I phrase it as "personal experience" intentionally, since there isn't a definitive objective answer to anything in terms of correlation, but just curious if it's a recognized pattern for anyone.

Pretty much as title states - does anyone else experience a situation, where someone with Aspergers aggressively assumes how others are feeling (and for the most part, vastly incorrectly. In my anecdotal experience, the people genuinely think others process things the same way they do, and will act accordingly, with zero sense "maybe they don't think like I do". I don't think it's willingly, but when clarified, they genuinely don't believe them and think they're lying. So what I mean is, they genuinely think the "everyone feels the same as I do" is an objective certainty and reality that is unquestionably true, in any circumstance)?

I'm the type of person who like having favorites. In pretty much most games I've played (not to compare this game vs others - just to note, as a benchmark), I've been able to successfully do this one way or the other. Of course it won't always be top of the line - but simple viability as a baseline is never a concern.

I pretty much came across multiple posts, and the sentiment is always the same: OP would ask "how long can I expect this character to last for?" answers will give a clear timeline - "until at least 5.0", "maybe a year", etc. I've actually genuinely never seen this before. Characters truly have a clear "end date" before they can no longer be viable.

I already had my "set team" planned out, and was firmly sold on E6ArcherE2RinE1SparkleE2RobinSP (whenever she comes out), and was hoping I could use this as my main team, essentially forever. It hurts that I can't stick with favorites in this game, for the long haul. I guess that's why they come out with "SP" versions of the same characters. It's a marketing tactic - "hey, you can still use your character, but you need to buy the new and improved version." I'm glad you guys are having fun with it, but unfortunately this system just isn't for me.

Anyone know?

I know maxed it is ideal, but what is a good "soft spot"?

hyped for this to eventually burst into the mainstream like we all know it will.

basically im a low spender and only spent $10 on this account but i keep thinking about how i could have been roughly 20% stronger (complete multiplicative). unless my math is wrong somehow but i dont think it is.

I genuinely don't see why not, it's one of those things that is an absolute no brainer for me, and I'm surprised it already doesn't.

Regarding the weapon swap capability, it currently only swaps when it's on your back. Don't you guys also think it should swap during idle poses that display the weapon, as well? I mean it's a win win for everyone, it's optional for the player, and on Netease's side it is an added incentive for people to have multiple. Genuinely shocked it isn't a thing already

I suppose if you agree, please suggest it to support during surveys. Easy copy paste below for those who want it:

"Please make it so the weapon swap animation through silent voice multi-form can be seen during idle poses, which display the weapon."

Tell me your teams that aren't quite top meta, but still have synergy

My favorite team is what I dub "the kool kidz" - S6R5 Rebecca, S2R1Lynae, S0R1 Chisa (actually I plan on waiting for some broadblade that has a more universal buff. Will throw that onto Chisa when it comes out)

Rebecca:

all while being a dps herself, gives team 68% atk buff (fat atk stacking is good for Chisa's heals/shield) + 20% dmg buff + tune break damage assistance/15% amp to lynae outro

Lynae:

The usual + double tune break damage assistance along with rebecca/25% res lib + 40% dmg amp to chisa outro

Chisa:

The usual + havoc bane gives def shred which helps Rebecca's damage

Overall thematically I love the team, and they have solid synergy with one another. My philosophy is if your main team has any outlier that you don't truly enjoy spending time on during a rotation, that's the wrong main team. This one definitely passes the test for me!
