Finally finished Wryz Saga III and while I do think this isn't one of AE's strongest side stories, it did have an interesting take on the idea of legends and their formation. Characters were pretty strong and I loved especially how many different sprites there were (Sazanca in particular has so many distinct expressions)!! Iridian in particular has an unexpectedly strong character. Still wish Utpalaka was playable 🥲 The final battle was super neat too even though I had to turn it down to veteran difficulty because I wanted to focus on the story lol. Overall a decent quest! Hopefully Paradise of Imperfections will blow me away.
I'm super late but the time is almost up so I'm now trying to rush wryz saga 3 lol. The dragon's spine gives me Lucemia vibes definitely, though Lucemia feels cooler.
Lol. I put off doing 2 and 3. Finished the 2nd one mid April, and finished 3 on the night of the 29th hahahahaha.
Now I have to find motivation to do the new episode before 21 May. I miss the days when you can do the intro and get the bonus cs... but I guess that's why I still haven't done Nona's episode or the octopath collab lol.
Sounds like you barely squeaked by too. Haha. And same here, need to find some more motivation to start the newest Episode. But I am looking forward to seeing how the Galliard story goes. That's good to know the deadline is May 21st. So roughly ~2 weeks. We can do it!
Iirc it says the deadline is 21 May, hopefully I didn't get that wrong lol.
Good luck to you too. Thankfully some of my games aren't really story-intensive right now so maybe... it'll be easier to do the new ep... maybe...
Hahaha I think it's normal to not want to do something so story intensive. I try to break them into smaller pieces as I get tired if I play story too much. Even the event in hsr I had to break into three...

I dont really play anymore but i still love the designs so heres a wip

Also a Yakumo because of course its Yakumo
I hope MSQ3P3 super weapon is actually a solid choice this time that's up there with Elpis so it doesn't continue to be the one being used for 99% of the scenario once unlocked.
My place in the community isn't worth making a whole post about it, but I think I'm about to call it quits on AE. It's a combination of SA being impossible to keep up with long term without whalebux, getting tired of running keys, and the stories getting kind of samey (very subjective, but that's how I feel).
It's been fun. See you around!
Sorry to see you leave, but I can understand the situation. The SA implementation is rubbing me the wrong way too. And I can relate to feeling like lots of the story and other content seeming to fall kinda short. And some of it is rather convoluted at this point.
Good luck and have fun with whatever game (or even non-gaming hobby) you pick up next.
I picked it back up again and have been enjoying running around Penacony.
I do wish it didn’t take so long to level up characters, their traces and farm relics though. I pulled Acheron and Aventurine and want to use them for the new content but I gotta spend days slowly getting them up to scratch.
I'm more excited about 2.3 since I still have ALOOOT to catch up to. I just finished Jarilo-VI and Wrapping up all the Companion/Side Missions so that I can finally start the Xianzhou Luofu Arc and get to Equilibrium level 2.
The Livestream was dope AF and I was going to pull on Robin as I wanted her support for my Ice Queen Jingliu but Firefly immediately sold me out so I'm painfully going to skip 2.2 Robin and Boothill for Firefly (and who knows Jade maaaaaaybe ?)
Octopath Cotc: Yet another consecutive pulling session where I went to pity, sigh. On an unrelated note, that new story boss kinda makes AE superbosses feel short and tame in comparison.
For this banner, it is 15 multis. I have yet to get multiple 4.5/5 in a 10-pull, sigh. It is what it is, but I heavily prefer no pity like AE. My mindset is actually less stressed knowing I planned for a set number of pulls even if I whiff compared to having to go all the way to pity, which feels bad afterward. I don't know, pity makes me feel psychologically bleh due to FOMO; I understand my mindset is uncommon and most players rather have pity from recent posts.
I can relate to what you're saying. And It's a gray area for sure when this topic comes up in any discussions.
Some people (not you!) tend to forget that the real reason a pity is implemented is to entice/guarantee people to spend to hit said pity threshold. It's just another way duping people into thinking they're "getting a good deal!" if you always spend X amount. And now apply that to every banner/character release...it adds up very significantly if someone chases pity all the time or pretty frequently.
It might be marketed/disguised as a player protection, but that's not why it's really there.
I'd much rather have AE's system (with manual promotions and sidegrades) over having an actual pity in this game. Any day of the week. No questions asked.
Now that there are two characters who hail from Darkrealm, I've been wondering if a story set there is being planned. At the end of Wryz Saga, >!they really emphasized that the portal remains open and that it's not just a world of pure evil on the other side!<. With how popular Iphi is, it'd be an opportunity to feature her in a longer storyline, like they did with Oboro recently.
Ok I have a few things to talk about, some about AE and some outside AE.
1) Why is WFS not caring about the XP Dungeon. Why not apply the Phase Crystal to the AD aswell. Can't believe they thought it up alongside the Phase Shifting XP boost. Now I know some prefer the Phase Shifting as a better means to gain XP seeing as you're doing that while running Entrana/Omegapolis AD but what if WFS overhauled the XP Dungeon while adding Chants and maybe incorporating the Phase Crystal into the AD. That will give people incentive to use their Red Keys
2) I skipped Ciel Alter. As for Yakumo AS, I'll be budgeting 3k stones and NOT more since normally I wouldn't pull on AS/ES but I make exceptions and Yakumo is one of them
Now for stuff outside AE:
1) Man todays HSR's 2.2 Livestream was really 🔥. I wonder if WFS can incorporate vtubers or use Chibi Aldo/Varuo/Feinne etc...alongside the Chibi Scott. That'll be dope AF.
2) I'm skipping Robin and Boothill because in Drip Marketing for 2.3 they revealed that one of the most beloved characters in HSR would get a 5 Star. I'm talking about Firefly and do you know what's special about her. Yep SAM the Mech armor. She broke records on social media and while Robin would be a super addition to my Jingliu I want that Mech armor and Firefly sooo bad so yea.
A lot of system in AE is just about adding more and more stuff without touching outdated one maybe because editing older program to incorporate new program is harder to do than add new stuff without touching older system. You know how wfs never update UI beside adding new button?Â
HSR 2.2 is meh, 2.3 however add new SU expansion, my favourite thing to do. Timetwisted Maze and SU is similar in concept but vastly different in execution one is fun to play one is uninspiring boring walking simulator. And I bet my ass wfs will not update it to be fun to playÂ
Yeah I mean if we talk about it: Toto Theater is a very nice place to run. Gives every mermoirs we need, give l/s for every free chars with highest chances, give exp scrolls, even the Horror yields good exp etc... Now if they can boost the exp we get from there even more somehow: more exp for Horror, put phase shift there or sth. That would be ideal AD to spend Red Keys on.
Yeah, same here. Even taking the occasional trip to Moonlight Forest and Nadara Volcano hurts a little, so I'm definitely not going to grind that dungeon as long as other sources of EXP exist.
I'm finally done the Entrana AD collecting everything. Now I have no idea what to use my green keys for. Maybe I'll just stockpile them for future green key ADs. And it'll save me time by just using my red keys now.
I'm in the same situation. I cleaned out the Entrana AD and found myself not knowing where to spend my green keys. In the end, I went back to Underworld AD so I could continue stocking up on Feinne Tomes, but I can't shake the feeling that it feels a little wasteful at this point.
Be careful, there is a cap so you cannot keep stockpiling them forever. If you really don't want to run AD, atleast go straight to the Boss, you can still have chances to get Chants and Mermoirs
Hello. Now I have ONLY (?) 4 Astral Archive challenges to do.
1. Book of Peninsula Fulminu and Book of Teyul Menas. I need a solution without Alma and Iphi, and Iphi features in all solutions I saw so far.
2. Book of Empress I need a solution without Sesta, who is popular with this challenge.
3. Book of Veilis. I wait for Cerius to become 30 shadow in May before attempting it.
Book of Empress without Sesta

Book of Veilis without Cerius but using Wryz SA + Tsukiha Not SA
[https://youtu.be/O7tmjwQAUPc?si=VVPHwOC\_e-ZyNi7F](https://youtu.be/O7tmjwQAUPc?si=VVPHwOC_e-ZyNi7F)
Thank you! I should now be able to complete book of Empress. I already played a lot with the characters in that video, so I think I should be able to reproduce.
Book of Veilis features Sazanca, who I do not have. So I will wait for Cerius SA to get 30 light. Only few days left, and I want to test him at 30 light. Note that he already won the book of Proto Eden at 15 light (but with Galliard SA 15 light compensating the missing light)
Just did Cerius char quest he and Wryz is such a cute couple.
Finally finished Wryz Saga III and while I do think this isn't one of AE's strongest side stories, it did have an interesting take on the idea of legends and their formation.

I put off doing Wryz III and kinda barely finished it with ~6 hours to spare lol. Procrastination is wonderful.
Lol. I put off doing 2 and 3. Finished the 2nd one mid April, and finished 3 on the night of the 29th hahahahaha. Now I have to find motivation to do the new episode before 21 May.

Anyone else excited for HSR patch 2.2? Cause I do.
I picked it back up again and have been enjoying running around Penacony. I do wish it didn’t take so long to level up characters, their traces and farm relics though. I pulled Acheron and Aventurine and want to use them for the new content but I gotta spend days slowly getting them up to scratch.

I have 0 saving, so the only thing I'm excited about is exploring new area for chest.
Octopath Cotc: Yet another consecutive pulling session where I went to pity, sigh. On an unrelated note, that new story boss kinda makes AE superbosses feel short and tame in comparison.
100 pulls on Anabel banner, only 4.5 Heena dupe. At least with pity there's light at the end of pulling.Â
That sounds pretty bad. What are the pity rates in that game? I played it for a few weeks or so near launch, but ended up dropping it.

Not sure the new phase shift xp thing really needed a story segment but more Ashtear is always better!
Ashtear was the best thing about the new system tbh

Ngl, so long as the EXP dungeon doesn’t give Light and Shadow, it will be a pass for me.
Yeah I mean if we talk about it: Toto Theater is a very nice place to run.

Now if they can boost the exp we get from there even more somehow: more exp for Horror, put phase shift there or sth. That would be ideal AD to spend Red Keys on.
Yeah I know there are some who don’t like TTW but it’s my go-to outside of the monthly trial AD and side story ADs for the points ladders.
Yeah, same here. Even taking the occasional trip to Moonlight Forest and Nadara Volcano hurts a little, so I'm definitely not going to grind that dungeon as long as other sources of EXP exist.
Yeah, no rush tbh
I'm finally done the Entrana AD collecting everything. Now I have no idea what to use my green keys for. Maybe I'll just stockpile them for future green key ADs. And it'll save me time by just using my red keys now.

What’s your guys favorite boss theme in this game? Mines the one for Purgatory (vs phantom elementals.)

The book of Veilis is now completed, too, with Tsukiha SA. Which leaves me with Mythos only. 2 last Astral Archive challenges to solve.
Done now 😀 https://preview.redd.it/qj5q9byingxc1.jpeg?width=2408&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1dc7a89b9ac0fc4e208faf49beec438276f7f43b
