Also less than 30 minutes before maintenance starts I think?

How's everyone doing? It's been a while! Used to interact here a lot back in the day.

Welp, let's get to the point: I've played from 5.5 (? Fischl debut) till 8.0. Basically collected *almost* everything up to that point. A bit of a gremlin here.

Yesterday, I missed my pretty girls a bit and downloaded the game again, only to find out 9.1 and anni patch were a couple days away (and I was completing 1170 logins, funnily enough)

So, how's next patch looking like? Seems like a lot of things that I've missed are returning. It's easier to say what I don't have, so I'll list them pretty quickly:

- *Valks*: Xentinel Mei, Love Elf Ely, Badum Kiana, Spy Rita, Dragon Coralie, Planar Armament Helia, Panacea Seele and new Sushang

- *New DLC equips*: HoHE Ely, HoReb Seele, Lunar Vow, NEX Bronya and Fenghuang Hua (they all have their old 4/4 equips)

- *AstralOp*: I only have MC, Songque and Serapeum. I do have half the ELFs tho, mainly the newer ones (Bunny, Kiana, Ely, Dudu, Klein and Water's Edge).

- *Other equips I don't have*: Smol Dudu's weapon, Kira's stigs, Navi's T stig, all Cosmic Expression's equip, Bastet set (I think it went to the Forge), Benares MB (just because, I know some of these aren't used anymore), Collodi set and Crusher Bunny.

-*Outfits*: okay, I know it's dumb, but there are some very pretty ones I want to know if they'll rerun... Wintery Wishes, Frigid Empress, Redolent in Red, Empyrean Psalms, Vow of Roses, Lunar Grace, Eldritch Vantage and White Velveteer. Those are the big ones!

Aside from that, yeah, all valks 4/4. Most of my supports are SSS, old meta Valks are S1 to SS. Is this spending event worth it? I'm entertaining the idea of grinding my xtals and see what I can get. What are my priorities looking like?

Thanks again for reading all the way through, going through my account after so long was a bit nostalgic!

Just leveled the Static-HV enough to give it a name. What name should I give my Collab guns, in honour of their respective main trio girls? I can't come up with anything funny or nostalgic myself, so I'm asking you.

Edit: afaik the maximum name length is unfortunately 14 characters 😔 but feel free to recommend anything

I mean Mei doesn’t want Kiana eat instant Ramen and eat healthier but is she’s okay with Kiana eating ramen in restaurants or a ramen booth?

As someone who has eaten instant noodles at home several times and once ate ramen in Japanese restaurant theirs a huge difference mainly ingredients and restaurant ingredients seem fresh compared to cup of noodles.

So would Mei be okay with Kiana eating restaurant noodles or she be strict as instant noodles?

So i was questioning who should i take between Thelma and Songque, i love both character and both gameplay so idk

Somehow, this started from Elsword...

The Collab Cafe will be at

Illustar Café's Sinchon Branch in Seoul South Korea (12th Floor), during Oct 31st -> Nov 8th 2026

More information can be found here and here

Kiana, Senadina, Youyun, Seele (HoRb + P2), Vita, Hua, Elysia, Mei, Bronya, and Entropy will have merchandise there

Either way this is just fun thought i had, it honestly shouldn’t be taken seriously.

I Just Finished Playing the latest ZZZ update(3.3), and While looking at Truvia, i realize she looks a bit familiar.....

is it me or does Truvia Looked like like Leylah

In our reality, Tesla had no children unlike some other scientists. My theory is that there was a secret project that took the DNA of various scientists and combined it with that of other prominent female scientific figures; this could explain why some of these scientists ended up having offspring

I was thinking about how the banners could be changed to make all the Valkyries playable, and I came up with this. You might like it or you might not—that’s fine. I did it just for fun, anyway.

（Im a return player and got love elf elysia without her sig weapon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itR3VSVO9Y0

As a 6-foot-tall guy born in the 90s, try 2 cosplayed as Elysia at anime convention a few days ago and even went to shoot some arrows by the way.

I really love her so much!

Plan to get Goddess Dreamseeker, her weapon, and Mei's outfit all in Day 1. But I'm still unsure if I should go with S2 GodSeeker or SS Chenxue AOP next... I wish I can get lucky to do both please 🥺

"In this 'sea' of nothingness, how could there be such a star to show us the way?"
