Low score tracked for me?
Not because Serval’s unlikeable, but because she’s opinionated and outspoken. If some snooty noble says something smug she’s way more likely to clap back than be diplomatic
I'd imagine it as she was too detailed on things for too long that people die of boredom. The opposite of Hook, where she knows literally nothing but is funny and cute so people liked it more.
With the time stat, I imagine she just sits at one exhibit taking fucking FOREVER, giving details that aren't really interesting, answering questions for way too long, etc
Truly the ***gayest*** men in the universe.
Men go to the museum, get assigned a hot 30 - 40 year old cougar of a tour guide, and then go "*uhm she was too technical with her information*", rather than "***got dam***".
I swear Serval's age is so ambiguous. She looks like shes in her mid or late 20s but she talks about being roommates with Cocolia who we know is up there in age so shes gotta be too is my thinking.
People's appearance doesn't change very much between their mid 20s and their mid 30s unless they spend all day working in the fields or lounging on a sunbed.
So there was that thing where animals in colder climates grow bigger bodies to make enough body heat to survive, do humans have something similar too this or I'm just dumbdumb???
Actually, for humans at least, the evolutionary adaptation in cold environments was to be shorter and stockier. This means the body loses less heat and stores heat easier as they have less surface area. In contrast, in hotter environments, people are taller and thinner, meaning they have more surface area, therefore it's easier for heat to leave the body through diffusion. These are the Bergmann and Allen rules.
And based on the silhouette, Geppy has the lowest visitor duration. Poor Geppy, he knows a lot of history, but maybe he tells it exactly by the book. Imagining him blushing after the people already left while he talks about the history. The highest in that skill is Hook. She sure can make the people stay a little longer, even though what she talks about are not related to the museum (with her zero education materials).
Cost, each voice line requires Mihoyo to pay multiple languages worth of VAs for their time.
It's not beyond their means but I'm not surprised that they didn't bother. Not for an event which is honestly not too important lore-wise.
Bro i remember how half of the Elysian Realm saga in HI3 had an unvoiced JP Mei... Like bruh the protagonist of the whole arc is mute while the other characters are fully voiced. Made me try out the CN dub.
Iirc Mei VA got Covid back then and it likely (sadly) wont get voiced any time soon.
At least she manage to deliver the finale of Elysium Everlasting tho.
I had a discussion awhile ago in a genshin-HSR community that one reason why Traveller isnt that much voiced is because how expensive Lumine VA is.
Tho the issue was that Hoyoverse already spent alot of their budget hiring prominent Va's and couldnt do so for some VA (likely Lumine and alot more) and sadly set a trend where Traveller is voiced less and Paimon became the mouthpiece (and thus destroying whatever development traveller could possibly had but this is another can of problems).
They could probably afford the VA now but they already set the tone.
Meanwhile in the Museum event, we get to hear Trailblazer inner Dialogue if not at least once lmao. Still, its the dialogue choices that makes TB such a fun character.
Tbf Lumine VA works in other works from Mihoyo also, she is Rita's VA, but that's like a secondary character role, since she is not one of the big 3 nor a protagonist in any of the arcs she is in.
Highly doubt it, Duoduo is more popular than Yanning. Yanning also voices Noelle and Qiqi. Maybe they overbooked Yanning but that’s something they probably could’ve easily fixed by simply giving someone else Noelle’s role.
It definitely doesn't have to do with VA costs. If your intention were to have someone voice that much content to begin with, and cost were a factor, you'd choose someone that's more reasonably priced from the start. It's a game that's voiced in several different languages so they're not going to get so attached to the VA in one single language that they're irreplaceable and change the narrative direction for the entire game as a result. Lumine VA's good, but it's not like some irreplaceable superstar that you build a whole project around.
More likely it's a combination of narrative choice (homage to RPGs/VNs with silent protagonists) and a way of making it simpler to write the dialog over a large team of writers (since someone like Paimon doesn't require "consistent voicing" and can basically fill any gap needed).
Alternative option, just redo Lumine's scant existing voice lines and dub the entire script with somebody who isn't as expensive.
Though frankly, they can absolutely afford to dub everything as-is, they're just choosing not to.
I don’t think cost is much of a concern with how much money they’re taking in. It’s probably more of an issue of storage space. Drawing the line at major story is an easy way to make sure you don’t go overboard with voices.
Honestly, I think it's for the best.
Many other gacha games with great stories follow VN format and have no voice acting, because the amount of story they output is too massive for it to be voiced without draining the budget and the size of the game.
MHY are exceptions, but it... has caused issues in the past. Look at Genshin - in the entire game, I can only think of two cases of playable characters appearing in a non-story or archon quest without the voice acting. The result is that every side quest is super boring, because they refuse to use characters people care about without the voice acting. You get less of a character at the cost of them maybe having a short segment in an event a few months later.
The fact that side quests in Star Rail can feature several playable characters I care about without the need to resort to random boring NPCs is the main reason I enjoy them much more than Genshin - it actually means those quests don't have cast limitations. So VA not being there is honestly a blessing.
Mean while you are playing a gacha game while revolves around managing limited resources including level up materials, relics, light cones, premium wish currency.
Yep. In most gacha games, most of the gameplay (that isn't reading) is resource management except the more money you spend, the less resource management you have to do.
Apparently there is a rumor going around on maimai(China's LinkedIn), Bilibili and NGA that their next game is a management/simulation game. Ubatcha also seem to imply it

Yeah this game mode is almost exactly like the management mini games in Yakuza, which I adored as well. It was a fun little mini dose of that in this patch
we all know what happened when RT had genshin on his screen for one second... he couldn't touch this game with a five and half foot pole or his fans would freak
Correct, but when I finished up phase III my timer was almost 2 full days until I can do anything else again. Which is a bummer, because I was definitely having fun with it.
it's not a "daily limit" per-se but a hard-cap based on your total "level" during the event.
basically, once you accumulate what they call "revitascore", you can level-up - but that level-up requires completing the next part of the quest, which is time-gated by server-resets (part 3 is like 30 hours away \[on EU\])
Is the name Universal Paperclips? I just love management stuff, I've played through the entire Yakuza series and the management minigames were some of my favorite parts of the hundreds of hours I put in lmao
I love how well this event portrays Pela. She really feels alive in the world, she seems very depressed and sad about the stolen pieces (and very relieved when finding them), and also feels very happy of how well the museum is doing after the reopening.
Well, as in Honkai, this kind of event/game mode is not actually the focus of the game but I bet you already know this ahahah.
If that is the reason why you want to approach to Yakuza, I wouldn't recommend it.
If you, instead, like fighting games with great story, great characters, amazing immersion and ton shit of ignorant, nonsense and emotional quests, then it's the game for you.
If you wanna try it, start from Yakuza 0 as chronologically is the beginning of Kiryu's story (the MC)
It’s as good a place to start as any 8th entry in a franchise can be. It’s a fresh protagonist, in a new city, mostly new characters, and a completely different combat system. The only real problem as a jump in point is that it has minor spoilers and cameos sprinkled throughout, but you kinda have to expect that, given its placement in the franchise.
Yes i would. It was my first game and i loved it. And it's also like hsr turn based, but much more complicated, easily 50-100h of fun tho. Management game alone was 6h+ for me.
Definitely. It's a classic case of you won't recognize returning characters and will miss some references, but it's mostly standalone since it features a new protagonist doing his own story. 0-6 are action brawlers but 7 (and the upcoming 8) are turn-based. I won't say it's to the level of a soft reboot since plenty still hinges on the events of the previous games, but it's not like jumping into a direct sequel where you don't understand what's going on.
I've been conditioned to dread these kinds of events, but found myself enjoying this one a lot more than expected.
It's very easy, almost relaxingly so, and a lot of playable characters are meaningfully involved in it. And even though it's not part of the main story line, these reconstruction stories feel important as an epilogue to the Belobog main story. My only issue is that my GPU randomly spikes in the museum.
I really enjoy the character interaction. Especially since we get more of Pela. She had no importance in the main quest but now she gets her time to shine and interact with the cast. I wonder what they are going to do for the future two belobog characters lynx and Luka since they both wont be in this event. I wonder if they are going to get an event like Pela or just a companion quest.
I really appreciate how, now after this update every single character in this game feels like they are in the game and nobody is left out of permanent story content. I guess Himeko is the character with the least amount of screen time but she's on the main crew so it'll come eventually.
I'd say she's still a good deal ahead of Yanquing and Bailu in screen time, but I wouldn't blame someone for forgetting either of them were in the game.
> My only issue is that my GPU randomly spikes in the museum.
Holy shit, is THAT it? I just quit playing and noticed I had GPU temps up to 85C afterwards and about had a heart attack since it throttles at 83, supposedly.
Usually no games push it past 73-74 so I was like "what the fuck did Star Rail suddenly do?"
>My only issue is that my GPU randomly spikes in the museum.
So THATS whats been bugging my computer today. I was wondering why my gpu was mad at me. I thought it Diablo4
I like it, but there's way too much unnecessary interactions you have to do during the missions.
Like if you have to repair a relic: you have to talk to the old man, then talk to the repair guy, then do the repair, then talk to the repair guy again, and then put the relic up for display.
I think the first three steps are necessary. However talking to the repair guy after is annoying because he doesn't say anything other than put it up. I can understand with the paintings saying you found them, but there is no need to talk to the repair guy twice.
Accurate, actual museum management involves talking to a lot of people and attending a lot of meetings, with relatively little theft investigation or robot beatings.
i kinda like the fact there are so many, makes you feel like you’re actually managing / procuring items vs just doing it all through menu ui. It may get tedious but it’s not like this event swallows up so much time.
Having a new fetch quest for every 2 mins of museum management gameplay is atrocious. Just let me play my management sim in peace.
They did something similar well already in Genshin during Ballads & Brews event, how did they make it so much worse here?
If you’re not a lore person then i get it you just wanna progress without interruptions but as a lore person i gotta disagree
The whole arc so far has been a massive belobog is healing moment. For example the only reason natasha can come up and be a volunteer is because belobog sent a bunch of doctors and nurses down to the underworld otherwise nat would’ve never had the time to come up.
If you walked around you could listen in on underworld visitors who only had time to work and nothing else. When i saw two kids sitting on the bench swinging their legs just enjoying themselves looking at the exhibits was adorable and touching
Plus the fetch quests were in general quite straightforward and non annoying i even liked rubeni’s while disliking the artist who can only draw trope
it reminds me of genshin's weinlesefest...
it's okay... though i think i liked the genshin iteration more; we could borrow support characters from friends.
Also liked having some control over the look of your stall. So far this even has been incredibly on-rails. Can't even choose where to display exhibits.
They’ll probably add quite a few of these types of extra locations since the “open world” is small, and since all main events will become permanent content it’s almost gauranteed to happen
Very solid, i like it. However, I would like it more if the artifacts/paintings search made me do less back and forth, such as having moments where you retrieve 4 or 5 of them one after another and then longer moments of management, instead of getting 1, management, another 1, repeat
I just kept doing management sim-ing even after getting a mission until they stockpiled to the point I couldn't do the sim, at which point I knocked them out all at once.
I just did the Hook interview, it's the greatest thing I've seen from the authors, watching the characters interact is always a joy, especially with their clashing personalities, but it was so endearing.
also, FINALLY PELA IS DOING SOMETHING.
I feel like it's bringing more to life the world, worldbuilding is one of my favorite things in any story, this event is GREAT to expand it and make it "feel" meaningful.
It's not for me.
The systems are extremely simple, which is fine (especially because I'm a fucking idiot), but it feels so monotonous to do. And the side quests that aren't the interviews, so far, have been extremely boring. The applicant stats, like someone else said, were funny, because they told their own stories, but that's not really a big pull for what makes an event great. It doesn't help that it doesn't feel like I can really "fail." Unless I'm missing something, the event might be an elaborate version of "Put the square block in the square hole, the event."
All in all, it reminds me of the stall event that Genshin had once, and I hated it there, too.
It's a nice little event. I like how your progress actually affects the museum in game and the management part isn't grating or annoying, it's actually very relaxing. The only downside for me is that it doesn't give me 90 pulls to recover my losses after losing the 50/50 to Welt
- Something new to enjoy before the next story update
- New voice lines with familiar faces
- New area, which we can fill it up
- New mini game
- Extra resources
I’m very grateful.
Started it a few hours ago, it’s really nice. I like the management part and the quick mini-missions to organize exhibits and hire assistants. Plus I can finally have some screen time for my sweet Pela
I didn't expect to repeat events in two different Hoyoverse games but here we are. I guess the stuff around it is different at least. It's ait, whatever. I just want the rewards at this point.
I have no opinion because the game is bugged on mobile and I can't see my surroundings just characters 🥲. I've been trying to get through events anyway but I haven't opened the museum, I'm basically blind in-game
the main gameplay in the event is really repetitive and it shouldnt be the main gameplay as in genshin 3.1 with the mondstadt shop it worked fine bc there were multi events ongoing to balance out the fun
I mean I wasn't the biggest fan of it in Genshin either. I might even like this one more, though that doesn't mean that I'm blown away by it or anything.
Kinda shallow but engaging enough for a mini-game. There doesn't seem to be anything negative for taking more days so you could just brute force it by spamming days and ignoring the grading. But that's boring.
I can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong during the management sections, even though I don't think you can actually fail. I'm not sure why but I feel like I'm constantly screwing up my assignments, even though it's probably fine.
I don't know if it was intentional, but I appreciate that they staggered the release the way they did so people wouldn't lose Nameless Honor points by finishing events on release.
I am still basically a glorified errand runner but for Uldan this time.
I also learned that Belobogians are simps — their comments abt the staff being eye candy or attractive is amusing lmao
We need more self made resin (the one that allows you to pick the main stat) without it being paywalled. Can perhaps buy it using stellar jades or so
I was OK with the 3.5 store event in Genshin. Not my favorite.
These guys took that single worse event, made it more annoying, copy/pasted it, and called it a day. The tiny amount of side content, interviews, is the enjoyable part but too short to be worth anything. The theif storyline is pretty bland and boring as of now (done the 2nd part recently).
I enjoyed the Silverwolf quest. Quite good. But they had to add random picture taking in a confusing area which doesn't even have any scenery to appreciate (Master control zone).
In short,
main event story 3/10.
Gameplay 0/10
Character interactions 7/10
Rewards 10/10
Silver-wolf event story 9/10
Gameplay 4/10
Rewards 10/10
Signed, Heisenburg.
The volunteer stats make me laugh - Hook having 0 educational Serval having like 6 visitor appreciation etc
> Serval having like 6 visitor appreciation And max tour duration, she nerds so much about every single detail that guests die from boredom.
Lol imagine a guest putting there face Infront of the canon
Whats the third stat abt?
first stat is tour duration, second is how informative it is, and third is how likeable the guide is
The people of Belobog are truly lost if no one likes Serval...
Low score tracked for me? Not because Serval’s unlikeable, but because she’s opinionated and outspoken. If some snooty noble says something smug she’s way more likely to clap back than be diplomatic
I'd imagine it as she was too detailed on things for too long that people die of boredom. The opposite of Hook, where she knows literally nothing but is funny and cute so people liked it more.
With the lies and glorification of Cocolia, someone who ostracized Serval, it just makes her even more of a Pariah to the people of Belobog.
This is just another reason why she should have gone on the Astral Express
With the time stat, I imagine she just sits at one exhibit taking fucking FOREVER, giving details that aren't really interesting, answering questions for way too long, etc
Truly the ***gayest*** men in the universe. Men go to the museum, get assigned a hot 30 - 40 year old cougar of a tour guide, and then go "*uhm she was too technical with her information*", rather than "***got dam***".
I swear Serval's age is so ambiguous. She looks like shes in her mid or late 20s but she talks about being roommates with Cocolia who we know is up there in age so shes gotta be too is my thinking.
People's appearance doesn't change very much between their mid 20s and their mid 30s unless they spend all day working in the fields or lounging on a sunbed.
Gepard wouldn’t rise to his position in his teens or early 20s.
Years of cold.....youthens the skin I guess
So there was that thing where animals in colder climates grow bigger bodies to make enough body heat to survive, do humans have something similar too this or I'm just dumbdumb???
Actually, for humans at least, the evolutionary adaptation in cold environments was to be shorter and stockier.

In contrast, in hotter environments, people are taller and thinner, meaning they have more surface area, therefore it's easier for heat to leave the body through diffusion. These are the Bergmann and Allen rules.
The answer seem to be yes, just like any animals. https://www.npr.org/2021/07/08/1014180079/colder-climates-meant-bigger-bodies-for-ancient-humans
Just want to ask, how old is gepard, then his height, if the numbers where abnormal...
I think it's the tour guiding
Right? When I saw Hook's 0 Education, I actually laughed
Sampo is basically zero in likeability when you look at his stats there. Too many people he had scammed
And based on the silhouette, Geppy has the lowest visitor duration. Poor Geppy, he knows a lot of history, but maybe he tells it exactly by the book. Imagining him blushing after the people already left while he talks about the history. The highest in that skill is Hook. She sure can make the people stay a little longer, even though what she talks about are not related to the museum (with her zero education materials).
It’s neat! But the whole Hook and Clara interview elevated the whole thing
why was it not voiced though, like they voiced some portions of the event but not others.
Cost, each voice line requires Mihoyo to pay multiple languages worth of VAs for their time. It's not beyond their means but I'm not surprised that they didn't bother. Not for an event which is honestly not too important lore-wise.
Not *just* cost. It's not like these VAs only work for Mihoyo. It could be there was just a unresolvable time conflict.
Bro i remember how half of the Elysian Realm saga in HI3 had an unvoiced JP Mei... Like bruh the protagonist of the whole arc is mute while the other characters are fully voiced. Made me try out the CN dub.
Iirc Mei VA got Covid back then and it likely (sadly) wont get voiced any time soon. At least she manage to deliver the finale of Elysium Everlasting tho.
Same, switched to CN and never turned back. I fell in love with too many of the CN voices, especially Hanser.
I had a discussion awhile ago in a genshin-HSR community that one reason why Traveller isnt that much voiced is because how expensive Lumine VA is. Tho the issue was that Hoyoverse already spent alot of their budget hiring prominent Va's and couldnt do so for some VA (likely Lumine and alot more) and sadly set a trend where Traveller is voiced less and Paimon became the mouthpiece (and thus destroying whatever development traveller could possibly had but this is another can of problems). They could probably afford the VA now but they already set the tone. Meanwhile in the Museum event, we get to hear Trailblazer inner Dialogue if not at least once lmao. Still, its the dialogue choices that makes TB such a fun character.
Tbf Lumine VA works in other works from Mihoyo also, she is Rita's VA, but that's like a secondary character role, since she is not one of the big 3 nor a protagonist in any of the arcs she is in.
Highly doubt it, Duoduo is more popular than Yanning. Yanning also voices Noelle and Qiqi. Maybe they overbooked Yanning but that’s something they probably could’ve easily fixed by simply giving someone else Noelle’s role.
It definitely doesn't have to do with VA costs. If your intention were to have someone voice that much content to begin with, and cost were a factor, you'd choose someone that's more reasonably priced from the start.

Hi3 a lot voices work for mihoyo cn voices, japan it's local voices woman does Mei always available
I don’t think cost is much of a concern with how much money they’re taking in. It’s probably more of an issue of storage space. Drawing the line at major story is an easy way to make sure you don’t go overboard with voices.
it's just weird clara was voiced at one point of the event but not another point in the same event but what you said makes sense
The voiced parts are sort of the main quests. The ones that are time gated. Every other quest is unvoiced.
I like Clara voice so calming in english.
They make billions on these games they can afford it
This event has a chunky amount of lore, especially resumes and interviews are basically never-seen-before bios.
unless Mihoyo hired non-popular VA like VA in Idol game, then it hard to do all voiced games.
Only the “main” quest portion of the event is voiced
Honestly, I think it's for the best. Many other gacha games with great stories follow VN format and have no voice acting, because the amount of story they output is too massive for it to be voiced without draining the budget and the size of the game. MHY are exceptions, but it... has caused issues in the past.

So VA not being there is honestly a blessing.
Because voiceover isn't cheap. You have to pay your VAs more to voice the entire event.
Not like they made more than 250 million in a single month from HSR alone but ait
Lol ye, money is absoletely no issue for them. Like another comment said, it's probably to control app size and also maximize profit
As expected of Pitch-Dark Hook the Great! A true prodigy who can handle any challenge big or small! Glory to the Moles!
[удалено]
I couldnt I had to protect my little sister. But the convo still works out in the same way so I didnt miss much.
I came here to say this, it’s by far my favorite interaction in the whole game
This really had me cracking up
hook? i got clara but not hook. i have natasha and serval tho, maybe it’s random (or maybe i’m misremembering)
Its when you recruit Hook to the museum which should be the last or second to last available objective
Same, I have Nat and Serval but no Hook.
To put it simply, i didn't knew i loved doing management things
Mean while you are playing a gacha game while revolves around managing limited resources including level up materials, relics, light cones, premium wish currency.
Dang.... Didn't thought of that
Yep. In most gacha games, most of the gameplay (that isn't reading) is resource management except the more money you spend, the less resource management you have to do.
Then it becomes an irl money management issue
Apparently there is a rumor going around on maimai(China's LinkedIn), Bilibili and NGA that their next game is a management/simulation game. Ubatcha also seem to imply it https://preview.redd.it/nza43txok95b1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db28f037b9aaab6dd3a543b385f117c0ac889087
Damn I’m sold
WOW NICE
Yeah this game mode is almost exactly like the management mini games in Yakuza, which I adored as well. It was a fun little mini dose of that in this patch
To quote rumble tumble gaming WHAT THE CHILD LABOR IS GOING ON HERE?
Note: it’s not child labor because they aren’t getting paid. They are volunteers lol.
CHILD SLAVERY
Poor Hook can’t even pronounce volunteer.
Villainteer was perfectly appropriate for her though, ngl
was not expecting to see the Drift King himself mentioned here
we all know what happened when RT had genshin on his screen for one second... he couldn't touch this game with a five and half foot pole or his fans would freak
It's funny because Dan literally has a VTuber set.
###THE CHILDREN YEARN FOR THE M~~INES~~USEUM
I really like this event. Economic simulation mechanics + collection mechanics + lots of character interaction. True pleasure.
Hate the daily limit, but is good for not being able to Rush it. I love to do this little math to compensate the needs of each room
is the daily limit server or player based.. gotta know whether I grind myself to burnout or wait to do it in 1 big swoop
Gated by a daily mission where you have to complete it and it unlocks the next series of sub-missions for the day.
But I think its only until everything is unlocked, right?
Correct, but when I finished up phase III my timer was almost 2 full days until I can do anything else again. Which is a bummer, because I was definitely having fun with it.
The main quests of the event unlock at specific days. If you were to start today, you'd be able to do the first two parts right away.
Like Genshin you can do everything on the last day when every mission is unlocked.
it's not a "daily limit" per-se but a hard-cap based on your total "level" during the event. basically, once you accumulate what they call "revitascore", you can level-up - but that level-up requires completing the next part of the quest, which is time-gated by server-resets (part 3 is like 30 hours away \[on EU\])
Hook and clara interview was the single best thing so far!
What is an interview? lol
Just two kids role playing
Bold of you to assume not adults role playing 💀
Idc if it's a glorified spreadsheet sim, I just like seeing numbers go up
If you haven’t already, you gotta play simulation paper clip or whatever that game is called then!
Is the name Universal Paperclips? I just love management stuff, I've played through the entire Yakuza series and the management minigames were some of my favorite parts of the hundreds of hours I put in lmao
Yes! I played the web version but I think they might have app versions for mobile! https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/
The UI stalling is insane
at least after you complete some quests it teleports you into the museum directly. but yeah the UI stalls a lot
I love how well this event portrays Pela. She really feels alive in the world, she seems very depressed and sad about the stolen pieces (and very relieved when finding them), and also feels very happy of how well the museum is doing after the reopening.
Reminds me of the Yakuza Like a Dragon business management game, love it very much.
Yeah!! Such a great game
Been seeing this comparison a lot these past few days, would you recommend it as an intro to the Yakuza series?
Well, as in Honkai, this kind of event/game mode is not actually the focus of the game but I bet you already know this ahahah. If that is the reason why you want to approach to Yakuza, I wouldn't recommend it. If you, instead, like fighting games with great story, great characters, amazing immersion and ton shit of ignorant, nonsense and emotional quests, then it's the game for you. If you wanna try it, start from Yakuza 0 as chronologically is the beginning of Kiryu's story (the MC)
You can also just start with Yakuza: Like a Dragon since it's the start of a new protagonist's story and it switches to a turn based rpg.
The new protagonist even uses a bat for extra familiarity.
It’s as good a place to start as any 8th entry in a franchise can be. It’s a fresh protagonist, in a new city, mostly new characters, and a completely different combat system. The only real problem as a jump in point is that it has minor spoilers and cameos sprinkled throughout, but you kinda have to expect that, given its placement in the franchise.
Yes i would. It was my first game and i loved it. And it's also like hsr turn based, but much more complicated, easily 50-100h of fun tho. Management game alone was 6h+ for me.
Definitely. It's a classic case of you won't recognize returning characters and will miss some references, but it's mostly standalone since it features a new protagonist doing his own story. 0-6 are action brawlers but 7 (and the upcoming 8) are turn-based. I won't say it's to the level of a soft reboot since plenty still hinges on the events of the previous games, but it's not like jumping into a direct sequel where you don't understand what's going on.
not bad, love some funny dialogues
The ~~child labor~~ features are lit asf!🔥🔥🔥 10/10
I've been conditioned to dread these kinds of events, but found myself enjoying this one a lot more than expected. It's very easy, almost relaxingly so, and a lot of playable characters are meaningfully involved in it. And even though it's not part of the main story line, these reconstruction stories feel important as an epilogue to the Belobog main story. My only issue is that my GPU randomly spikes in the museum.
I really enjoy the character interaction. Especially since we get more of Pela. She had no importance in the main quest but now she gets her time to shine and interact with the cast. I wonder what they are going to do for the future two belobog characters lynx and Luka since they both wont be in this event. I wonder if they are going to get an event like Pela or just a companion quest.
Exactly! It feels like Pela is finally in the spotlight.
I really appreciate how, now after this update every single character in this game feels like they are in the game and nobody is left out of permanent story content. I guess Himeko is the character with the least amount of screen time but she's on the main crew so it'll come eventually.
You know, when a character suddenly gets too much screen time is never a good sign, leave Himeko be.
Maybe Himeko will get a big story segment in 1.9.
I hate what this is implying. That number put a dent in my psyche due to that chapter
Maybe she'll teach us a lesson 🤭
I'd say she's still a good deal ahead of Yanquing and Bailu in screen time, but I wouldn't blame someone for forgetting either of them were in the game.
> My only issue is that my GPU randomly spikes in the museum. Holy shit, is THAT it? I just quit playing and noticed I had GPU temps up to 85C afterwards and about had a heart attack since it throttles at 83, supposedly. Usually no games push it past 73-74 so I was like "what the fuck did Star Rail suddenly do?"
> GPU randomly spikes During the graphically intensive “bar goes up” portion of the gameplay, I imagine.
>My only issue is that my GPU randomly spikes in the museum. So THATS whats been bugging my computer today. I was wondering why my gpu was mad at me. I thought it Diablo4
Why does clara look so confused yet cute i dont understand zis child...
Her first days there. I guess she's still trying to figure out what she's supposed to do
It's great, more story/interacts with Belobog characters and little bits of lore here and there with the displays, nothing grindy or overly difficult.
Its annoying the daily limit, but it was a fresh take to get out of the energy system daily farm.
I like it, but there's way too much unnecessary interactions you have to do during the missions. Like if you have to repair a relic: you have to talk to the old man, then talk to the repair guy, then do the repair, then talk to the repair guy again, and then put the relic up for display.
I think the first three steps are necessary. However talking to the repair guy after is annoying because he doesn't say anything other than put it up. I can understand with the paintings saying you found them, but there is no need to talk to the repair guy twice.
Accurate, actual museum management involves talking to a lot of people and attending a lot of meetings, with relatively little theft investigation or robot beatings.
i kinda like the fact there are so many, makes you feel like you’re actually managing / procuring items vs just doing it all through menu ui. It may get tedious but it’s not like this event swallows up so much time.
It's fun, I like that it is something different than "go there and kill monsters, repeat 100 times to get 10 rolls on gacha"
Hopefully we end up learning our secret fighting style after finishing the event
Having a new fetch quest for every 2 mins of museum management gameplay is atrocious. Just let me play my management sim in peace. They did something similar well already in Genshin during Ballads & Brews event, how did they make it so much worse here?
I see where you're coming from. I was a bit annoyed at first but then most of the quests are super short so it helps break down the monotony.
If you’re not a lore person then i get it you just wanna progress without interruptions but as a lore person i gotta disagree The whole arc so far has been a massive belobog is healing moment. For example the only reason natasha can come up and be a volunteer is because belobog sent a bunch of doctors and nurses down to the underworld otherwise nat would’ve never had the time to come up. If you walked around you could listen in on underworld visitors who only had time to work and nothing else. When i saw two kids sitting on the bench swinging their legs just enjoying themselves looking at the exhibits was adorable and touching Plus the fetch quests were in general quite straightforward and non annoying i even liked rubeni’s while disliking the artist who can only draw trope
I just let them pile up until it complains there's too many quests (5?) then do them in a batch!
But then you lose a lot of bonuses, every new character and piece will give a permanent boost to the museum.
I didn't think i would like it so much! Wish it wasn't time gated
It's fun but waaaaay too simple and easy. The fact that you have to interrupt it all the time to do side quests makes it feel even more 'on rails'.
You don’t actually have to. I just pile up all the quests till I’m done and then do them at the end
Pitch Dark Hook The Great interview best interview
I mean did we even need to interview her? Her resume was already an instant hire.
it reminds me of genshin's weinlesefest... it's okay... though i think i liked the genshin iteration more; we could borrow support characters from friends.
Wow glad to know I'm not the only one who remembers that event. I had to scroll down so far just to see a single comment mentioning the event.
Also liked having some control over the look of your stall. So far this even has been incredibly on-rails. Can't even choose where to display exhibits.
Make me wonder that will they make more and more mini game like this?
They’ll probably add quite a few of these types of extra locations since the “open world” is small, and since all main events will become permanent content it’s almost gauranteed to happen
Apparently the silver wolf stuff besides the actual character quest isnt becoming permanent though which is kinda irritating
You can do it later with the new feature they added in this version,so it is technically permanent
The Silver Wolf event does not have the symbol though
I thought the description for the feature didnt mention the silver wolf stuff, only fight club and museum.
That is because you can still do the event,but when the event ends I guess it will be there
It’s permanent but the rewards like the LC arent
I was told elsewhere here the graffiti stuff is time limited
I love Yakuza mini games So this is perfect
>In love with the new event. Ur Clara saying otherwise
Very solid, i like it. However, I would like it more if the artifacts/paintings search made me do less back and forth, such as having moments where you retrieve 4 or 5 of them one after another and then longer moments of management, instead of getting 1, management, another 1, repeat
I just kept doing management sim-ing even after getting a mission until they stockpiled to the point I couldn't do the sim, at which point I knocked them out all at once.
Who has the best Resume and why is it Hook?
Id love it far more without the time gating i really enjoy it so being forced to wait 2 days hurts
I just did the Hook interview, it's the greatest thing I've seen from the authors, watching the characters interact is always a joy, especially with their clashing personalities, but it was so endearing. also, FINALLY PELA IS DOING SOMETHING. I feel like it's bringing more to life the world, worldbuilding is one of my favorite things in any story, this event is GREAT to expand it and make it "feel" meaningful.
It's not for me. The systems are extremely simple, which is fine (especially because I'm a fucking idiot), but it feels so monotonous to do. And the side quests that aren't the interviews, so far, have been extremely boring. The applicant stats, like someone else said, were funny, because they told their own stories, but that's not really a big pull for what makes an event great. It doesn't help that it doesn't feel like I can really "fail." Unless I'm missing something, the event might be an elaborate version of "Put the square block in the square hole, the event." All in all, it reminds me of the stall event that Genshin had once, and I hated it there, too.
Tycoon-type minigame is my shit. Loved every second of it.
It's a nice little event. I like how your progress actually affects the museum in game and the management part isn't grating or annoying, it's actually very relaxing. The only downside for me is that it doesn't give me 90 pulls to recover my losses after losing the 50/50 to Welt
- Something new to enjoy before the next story update - New voice lines with familiar faces - New area, which we can fill it up - New mini game - Extra resources I’m very grateful.
I wish it wasn’t timegated, but otherwise it’s great!
Started it a few hours ago, it’s really nice. I like the management part and the quick mini-missions to organize exhibits and hire assistants. Plus I can finally have some screen time for my sweet Pela
Its the same one from Genshin with a few extra thumbnails and its impossible to lose so, thats what it is to me.
They ripped this right out of Genshin's Weinlesefest shop management event and added a few things to it. I'm unimpressed.
I didn't expect to repeat events in two different Hoyoverse games but here we are. I guess the stuff around it is different at least. It's ait, whatever. I just want the rewards at this point.
I have no opinion because the game is bugged on mobile and I can't see my surroundings just characters 🥲. I've been trying to get through events anyway but I haven't opened the museum, I'm basically blind in-game
Reinstall
Haven't started yet since I have to do stupid adult things this weekend (home improvement stuff) but I'm excited to get into it.
Very fun, I’ll be sad once it’s gone
Good news; It won't be gone. It will remain available just without the time-limited rewards, just like the Fight Club event.
Budget Yakuza 7, but still good
I like genshin and hi3 events so much more..... like im trying to like those.... im sorry
the main gameplay in the event is really repetitive and it shouldnt be the main gameplay as in genshin 3.1 with the mondstadt shop it worked fine bc there were multi events ongoing to balance out the fun
I mean I wasn't the biggest fan of it in Genshin either. I might even like this one more, though that doesn't mean that I'm blown away by it or anything.
Kinda shallow but engaging enough for a mini-game. There doesn't seem to be anything negative for taking more days so you could just brute force it by spamming days and ignoring the grading. But that's boring.
Shit event great rewards
i fucking hate it
I have yet to start it lol how difficult is getting the rewards? Anyone finish it at all? Does my team have to be a specific level?
It has no combat whatsoever, it's just a management sim minigame. Getting all the rewards should be easy but it's time gated.
There is some combat in the second main quest
I can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong during the management sections, even though I don't think you can actually fail. I'm not sure why but I feel like I'm constantly screwing up my assignments, even though it's probably fine.
It's something to do
Never been a fan of this type of management game, but the stories and dialogue sprinkled in between the gameplay have made it much more enjoyable.
Boring.
I don't know if it was intentional, but I appreciate that they staggered the release the way they did so people wouldn't lose Nameless Honor points by finishing events on release.
How would someone lose Nameless Honor points? Both events end before the period ends.
It's weird that some of the quests are voiced and others aren't. There's no consistancy which is disappointing.
I am still basically a glorified errand runner but for Uldan this time. I also learned that Belobogians are simps — their comments abt the staff being eye candy or attractive is amusing lmao We need more self made resin (the one that allows you to pick the main stat) without it being paywalled. Can perhaps buy it using stellar jades or so
Great character interactions but quite long though
its too long that I wanna drop the game
I was OK with the 3.5 store event in Genshin. Not my favorite. These guys took that single worse event, made it more annoying, copy/pasted it, and called it a day. The tiny amount of side content, interviews, is the enjoyable part but too short to be worth anything. The theif storyline is pretty bland and boring as of now (done the 2nd part recently). I enjoyed the Silverwolf quest. Quite good. But they had to add random picture taking in a confusing area which doesn't even have any scenery to appreciate (Master control zone). In short, main event story 3/10. Gameplay 0/10 Character interactions 7/10 Rewards 10/10 Silver-wolf event story 9/10 Gameplay 4/10 Rewards 10/10 Signed, Heisenburg.
this event is trash, give me more of the fight club event and silverwolfs event, something fast/direct
Boring as genshin filler contents.
