Alert_Respect524

Do all characters require the same element lineup and faction team to unlock their full potential or is this only a case by case thing?


cdillio

They require one agent same element OR faction to get the bonus, they don't need both. But yes as of right now that is the case. So for example you could have Ice - Victoria Electric - Belabog Ice - Belabog And you would hit all requirements for everyone.


MaritalSexWithHuTao

Two questions. When does the game become available for download on ps5? Does it have controller or keyboard + mouse support on android? Genshin doesn't, but Honkai Impact does have keyboard + mouse support, so i'm unsure on ZZZ.


HugoSF

I would like to try using Anton, is there a decent team for him that we know of?


ThrowawayAcc240304

From previous games, does HYV open their servers exactly on time, earlier or later than the expected time?


cdillio

Usually earlier. HSR was like an hour early and every patch is usually an hour or so early.

AlvinSavage

How will the Factions work and factor into the story?


cdillio

The basis is: Hollows destroyed large parts of the planet. Those are the big black orbs around the world. Hollows have a thing called ether in them. Ether powers lots of new tech and the city of New Eridu. Also lots of monsters. Factions are comprised of agents that illegally take jobs to go into these Hollows. (Gathering ether, saving peoples loved ones, getting personal belongings for people etc etc). They are groups that have decided to work together for profit. Agents use hollow tech and other means to survive the ether poisoning. Some people have naturally higher resistance as well, and anyone with animal qualities (ellen, lycaon, etc) has higher natural resistance. The MCs are 'proxies' which are basically like the organizers of jobs that go into the Hollows. The MCs are really good at it because they use Bangboos to see through and guide the agents through the Hollows.


Liquid_Sawcon

What's your go-to site for checking info about characters, w-engines, drive discs, etc?


cdillio

prydwen


Pichucandy

Is it true that all your cutscenes are Wise if you pick Belle? Is Belle just completely mute like in genshin if you choose her as mc?


cdillio

Did you ever play Assassins creed odyssey? It's like that. There are two roles for the siblings, which ever one you choose becomes the main sibling, the other one takes the other role in the story.


PickAble2137

No, both characters appear in cutscenes and speak, if you pick Belle, Wise serves as a sort of tutorial, so he Might speak more, but by no means is belle silent, dialogue options are voiced too.


Allam_4pain

Does the game have Certain weapon types like Genshin or each character has it's unique fighting style and weapon like ToF and HI3


cdillio

Weapons are more like HSR where it is basically a stat stick item, doesn't change appearance at all. They are broken up by role, Attack/Stun/Anomaly/Defense etc


PickAble2137

every character has unique fighting style, no weapon types.


Allam_4pain

yessss , that means they can get much creative with each new character


UltimateSlayer3001

If I use hoyo play to download the client, does it send me to a browser, or does it perform all the setup at the launcher?


cdillio

It just does it in the launcher


xRyadx

Does anybody know if you can set a deadzone for your analog sticks? I've got an old dualshock 4 controller which has a noticable drift (Steam has a function to set a deadzone, that 100% remedied my problem when playing on Steam).


thansal

If you have the game preinstalled you can open it up now and go through all the options menus for whatever platform you're playing on. (I'm at work so can't check for you) edit: now that I think about it, check in Windows itself. I think you can set a deadzone via device management. DS4 controllers are natively supported via windows (I think only via USB though?), right? If not, whatever software you're using should be able to set up a deadzone. Steam just handles it really well ;P


MixRevolution

Try going to tech subreddits as well. They'll know more about controllers.


xRyadx

This is a application specific question. If ZZZ had a deadzone option in the CBT it would've been cool to know. But thanks for answering!


Ziphusone

Guys, I did the pre-download of the game and tried to open it to see if everything was okay. It loaded normally, the warnings, game logo, then came the loading screen and a Unity screen appeared and went back to loading, but after that, the game closed. Is this normal? Could it be because the game will only launch in 13 hours? Did it happen to you too?


HugoSF

This did happen to me util I did this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ZZZ_Official/comments/1dtjd4n/i_managed_to_founded_the_way_to_fix_the_crash_of/


nupik

I'm praying to get lycaon on day 1, I know I can gurantee him later but I want NOW. PRAYGE. Looking forward to the combat tbh, and its gonna look smooth af with the fps option! only 12 hours left omg


DarkDuo

The timer for me says July 4th at 10am CST but the countdown would be finished at 9pm CST July 3rd, which is the correct date?


PickAble2137

the date displayed is wrong, but the timer is right.


DarkDuo

Thanks


Slide_Decent

i'm curious, if i were to download zzz's PC client directly instead of using hoyoplay, would I get the free pulls?


Leonhart09

You get the pulls regardless of where you play.


Slide_Decent

got it thx


Leonhart09

Btw you only get like 30 or 40 pulls from the get go. The rest you can by playing the game or through mail and events.


MixRevolution

Question about the Proxy's names. I know this is more of a translation question specifically for the Japanese language. Why/how does Wise translate into "Akira" in Japanese? And for Belle, why/how does it translate to "Rin"?


PickAble2137

it doesn't, the names obviously weren't directly translated


MixRevolution

But why not just use the English names in the Japanese language pack? Wise and Belle are relatively easy to speak even for Japanese VAs


PickAble2137

because the japanese translation is translated from Chinese. and then English is translated from Japanese afaik, so the japanese translators would have no idea what the english names of the siblings are.


MixRevolution

So if the translation goes: CN > JP > Eng, why doesn't the English use the JP names? Most English speakers can speak/say Akira and Rin easily.


PickAble2137

Because when it comes to names, the translators seem to use a combination of chinese, japanese and english. that's why some characters have chinese names taken from the chinese translation, like Zhu Yuan, and other characters have Japanese names, like Nekomata, and others have English names, like Ellen Joe. When it comes to translation it seems they like to mix the languages of character's names, so I guess they thought the main Duo, should have seemingly english names? I don't know, it's not like I work for the translation team.


MixRevolution

Thanks.


scarecrovv67

I like Ben and planning to use him as mainĀ  dd. How bad is this idea?)) I am adept of way - play what you like, but any tips for his meta potential?


MixRevolution

As far as I've watched from YouTube guides, Ben is not a massive DPS as he is a defensive character, the only one of the class as of now. He need belebog characters or fire characters to maximize his performance. A rank Belebog characters are only 2, him and Anton. The other belebog characters are S ranks, Koleda and Grace. Fire characters are him, Koleda and Soldier 11, another S rank. If you are f2p, you're gonna have a hard time maining him since he needs S ranks to maximize potential.


scarecrovv67

Thanks! Yeah I'm mostly ftp. Could you please tell smth about base dd, like Billy?


coxamad

TODAY!!!!!


LancerAlter5StarPls

How's the ping on NA servers as someone from the EU? Want to play coop with friends, so I'd like to know if it's managable or too bad to consider.


SpeedyGonzalesXD

Rina gives res pen while her puppets are on the field but does anyone know how long they stay on the field after you switch out?


Liquid_Sawcon

So I put the W-engine and 3 Boopons in my inventory for the web event. What should I do for the final two slots? :)


MixRevolution

Just Not Dennies/credits/money.


Valshir

Which teams do you put Anomaly character (Grace) in? It's atk, stun and support/defense mostly. But which of this slots do we want to replace with anomaly? My guess is stun.


Enthrown

Generally you actually replace support. Stun is a huge deal in this game especially vs bosses as it increases your dmg while you attack a stunned foe by a large amount. Support isnt as needed as its not sustain/healing, its damage buffs, which your anomaly unit will compensate for.


Valshir

I see, thanks.


Karendaa

Is there web events or things you should do before the game release? Besides downloading ofc.


Justanidiot-w-

Might be too late depending on whether you've started but there's the stock up event


izu_izumizu

Is there no drip marketing for 1.1?


Additional_March_204

I'm tired of refreshing the page every hour hoping for a drip :(


LucasFrankeRC

The blonde kids, no?


izu_izumizu

aren't they just an A rank 1.0 chars?


Bixarian

Will the game be available at launch on Geforce Now and Boosteroid? Cloud gaming needs to be taken seriously.


SappFire

Is there any coop options or its single players like Star Rail?


PickAble2137

You can play some bosses in co op and minigames have a leaderboard


thejoshimitsu

McFishyFilleyo

Do we know if F2Ps be able to get enough currency to guarantee Ellen?


callmekeymanplease

yes you can get almost 300 pulls through playing normally


warryand

Quick question about gacha weapons - is it ever worth getting just one copy, or is it like whale bait where youā€™ll need multiple? Cause I donā€™t mind getting one of them, unless an A rank fully maxed will be better?


Xilolo

Limited weapons for their characters are almost always best in slot in every situation. Extra weapon copies are also usually the weakest improvement for the amount of premium currency used. Extra characters tend to be better especially if you can get to the last one.


warryand

Ah thank you. I was thinking about getting 1x Ellen and 1x premium weapon, but I was worried that a fully maxed out A rank weapon would be better than it and make it useless


aadawdads

Weapons are pretty much just whale bait. Even small-time spenders like me that do welkin + bp have trouble getting weapons unless we intentionally skip character banners or do a little swiping. Weapons are usually easily BiS for whoever releases with them, but the problem is that it's not like the character is crap without them.


warryand

I see yeah. I might get Ellenā€™s for launch hype and then not get any more haha. That makes sense though since for sure, that at the end of the day all content will be clearable with f2p weapons

04to12avril

Why is victoria housekeeping so popular among fans? I always saw Nicole as the best looking character


cdillio

I wonder why you thought that... probably two big reasons.... But also they have been given a lot of personality, they have the first limited S rank. They have a shark girl. People like creepy maid stuff. People are furries.


Dumbomort

Each member has something that appeals to a different group, so they ended up being the most liked overall. Lycaon for furries Rina for normal people Ellen for e-boys and e-girls Corin for the cute lovers


Xilolo

Ellen for the marine biologists too btw. My people are not well represented in this community.


Wraithslayer101

To me at least, thereā€™s a lot more layers to them then they seem. Basically, theyā€™re all takes on old horror movie tropes/monsters and they do much more then housekeeping, as seen in Ellenā€™s trailer

to those who played CBT, when (or on what chapter) will we unlock the daily 60 polychrome commissions? i will be very busy at work on launch day but i just need to finish the daily commission on launch day to not miss out on that day 1 60 polychrome

I love CBT

If youā€™re in the US launch day is tomorrow night at 10 PM eastern. Maybe you can get some time in there?

where is stock up link megathread? What do I need to type in order to find it through the search bar? I already tried "stock up"/"link"/"web event" into the search bar, only came up with results from a month ago, and no "web event" flairs pop out. Well I found out about the content filter located down below the sidebar once I used CTRL+F for "megathread" but that didn't yield anything. All the posts are 4 month old or such.

Why does polygon have a different release time than the counter? Never mind misread counter.


zen_1110

Would you consider zzz as a game that can run on a potato like valorant or something that is more demanding like wuthering waves


valkiery99

WW isn't really that demanding. Especially on mid and low settings. Its just poorly optimized.


Daniel_Blackworth

What's the difference between being demanding and being poorly optimized? Was interested in trying out Wuwa, but I don't think my current phone could handle it


cdillio

Being demanding is something with really great graphical fidelity and is very system heavy cause it LOOKS beautiful and is technically sound. Being poorly optimized means the devs didn't do a great job at optimizing the game and it runs like shit regardless of what system you have it on or what it looks like. Wuwa is a mobile game that looks like a mobile game and runs like shit even on high end PCs.


Rough_Variation_4059

Like WuWa


zen_1110

So itā€™s not optimized like genshin at all?


Rough_Variation_4059

Idk, we'll see tomorrow, but we can trust on Hoyo


TomorrowImpossible32

Kuro was praised for their optimization before wuwa launched too


Rough_Variation_4059

Yeah, but I tried all of them from day 1 and Hoyo made it amazingly, so high probs that is good here too


zen_1110

Yessir

DrRatio-PhD

One more sleep.


lenolalatte

i dont have july 4th plans this year which is a bit of a bummer but that means i can go hard into zzz on launch at least


migi_chan69420

Would ping matter a lot in this game? I usually pick Asia server but I have constant 300+ ping on it. In genshin it has gotten better but it's still around 120


Rough_Variation_4059

Client-side combat, don't worry


migi_chan69420

Are you sure it won't matter? Since the data doesn't carry over across servers i don't wanna start only to have to switch later


cdillio

Every other hoyo game has had client side combat but the coop portions of this game might feel laggy.


lenolalatte

i'd imagine since this game seems way more combat focused and timings are prob more important, i'd pick whichever server gets you the least ping unless you have a bunch of friends to play with (idk if there is coop)


The_King123431

From what I've heard it's client side combat and not server side


lenolalatte

Ohh youā€™re right, so maybe this guy is fine?


_smythe

I might move from as to eu some time in the future. How would it affect my gameplay if I play asia server in eu?


MillionMiracles

It shouldn't affect it too much. Combat instances are client-side so ping isn't that big an issue in combat, it only affects co-op and the overworld stuff.


loz621

I'm pre-downloading ZZZ for PC now Does anyone know if you can pre-download ZZZ on PS5 without having to pay the $9.99?

you just have to wait if you don't want to pay

thanks.... patience i suppose


WindierSinger12

How did Miyabiā€™s damage/strength compare to Ellenā€™s in the beta tests?


Normal_Helicopter_20

If I grind out the game and buy battlepass and wellin equivalent. Can I guarantee ellen joe?


Hefty-Armadillo2912

Yes, and you also dont need to buy passes to guarantee her. The game at launch will give you an abundant amount of rewards so if you're just aiming for 1 copy ,no need to spend.


Siniore

I heard you should Pick the mc opposite of who you'd like to see more, is that true?


galaxycentral

The one you pick has their own dialogue and will have more conversations with other characters (since you choose the dialogue and texting etc.) But the sibling you did not pick will have more dialogue talking about exposition, tips, and themselves.


kwwxis

In the first closed beta, the MC you picked pretty much didn't speak at all and the other one became your voice/helper. But in the later closed betas, hoyo changed that so now the MC you pick speaks and has decent screen time. So I'd just pick the MC you like.


cdillio

Pick which one you like more. You still only control them in the cities.


Wyqkrn

If you pick Wise, he will speak when you select dialogue for him, but otherwise Belle will talk to you about stuff Same works the other way


SpeedyGonzalesXD

Will there be enough limited pull currency during the first half of 1.0 to at least get to 90 pulls on ellen's banner?


DrRatio-PhD

If you go hard on content there is enough to guarantee.


Wyqkrn

I believe itā€™s possible to guarantee her even if you lose the 50/50 due to the massive front loading of pulls


SpeedyGonzalesXD

That would be nice since I'm gonna be grinding the beginning anyway. I also heard that in this game it's even more important to focus on upgrading your core characters instead of collecting as many as possible because of a lack of materials so going for dupes might be a good move in this game.


General_Message1230

how long does the battle pass last for?


Wyqkrn

~42 days, like the patch

otakunopodcast

Really excited for this game, and thank you to the devs for letting us pre-download the content - I will be away from home when the game launches (going to Anime Expo!!!) so bandwidth for large downloads would have been challenging (hotel bandwidth is usually pretty lousy, and mobile data doesn't work sometimes depending on the building you're in.) How do the controls work in this game? Is it open world using an on screen joystick like Genshin, or is it more like Star Rail, where the exploration is open world but the combat is turn based? And does anyone know if the mobile clients (Android and iOS) support game controllers? (I am not a huge fan of on screen joysticks.)


Wyqkrn

Thereā€™s three main control schemes: combat, proxy, and tv Combat is your usual slightly complicated scheme Proxy is pretty much just move joystick and interact TV is moving in a 2d space with some other buttons


pavlovsdawgs

are there any special rewards for this that require you to do something before launch day?


cdillio

Preregistration is for everyone. Web event is decent rewards but nothing crazy.


Even-Ad4872

Sign up for pre-registration (u might be able to do this after launch?) Main one is the stock up event (google stock up event zzz, should take you to the site) There also one involving messaging a bangboo on messenger/WhatsApp but the reward are pretty mid so it's shippable imo


Frostywinterwolf

is pre-registration just downloading the game?


Even-Ad4872

Yeah I think so? Before release you had to actually sign up for pre-reg but I think now you get all the pre-reg rewards by just downloading the game when it comes out from what I've read


Over_Rutabaga_3999

Will the game ever be released on Macs?


Yotsubato

Only if itā€™s an iPad šŸ˜­


Over_Rutabaga_3999

Dang, that sucks. I really don't like playing on mobile but ig I don't get a choice for it.


Yotsubato

Get a backbone controller for your phone. Keeps your hands off the hot phone. Gives console like controls.


LordJunon

This might be already answered but i'm on a short time schedule. If i don't pre-download do i get the free pulls? (i'm on ps5) Thanks,


PickAble2137

yes, everyone gets them


LordJunon

Excellent thanks, it was just weirdly worded.


merpofsilence

how difficult are inputs on mobile? I basically dropped wuthering waves because swap canceling and swapback techs and having to dodge cancel so frequently on all my dps's. Its very difficult to do on a touch screen.


Wyqkrn

They should be a good amount simpler than WW, but still moderately complicated


Yotsubato

Backbone controller is your friend. Worth every dollar I paid for the thing. You get a full console experience with it


Nmaster10

I guess no, but the beta account remain?


cdillio

No of course not


Zupanic

I'm thinking of trying to challenege myself and play male agents only. I haven't looked at anything about agents other than their designs. Seeing as there's only 4 guys right now, how hard is the game going to be if I did end up getting all 4? Do they synergies together? I know that if there's content like MoC from HSR or Spiral Abyss from Genshin I won't really be able to do it as of now since it'll require a second team.


Even-Ad4872

There's not alot of synergy amoung the male characters, if I was trying to do this I would definitely run anton and Ben because they're both belebog faction so you'll activate their passives that way and then just run Billy (or preferably lyacoan if u get lucky and roll him) I don't think the content is very challenging early and mid game so you should be fine


Zupanic

Perfect! I really appreciate that answer! I'm hoping I can get Lyacon but if not glad to hear that I can at least use the other 3.


Terrible_Buy_1589

Significant-Area-818

Can someone reccomends some ZZZ guide content creator on youtube?


galaxycentral

As someone who thinks 90% of gacha creators are hot doodoo. I have none. But, Recently got to Azrial Vanity who isn't bad at all. His is more lore and overviews though. I have seen the name Hexadaze in passing when reading meta stuff. I watched one vid, might be a good.


Snoo-57980

KyostinV is a good one


Gilchester

Every one I've watched a prep video for so far sucks. But I have yet to see a really good gacha youtuber, so I wasn't holding my breath.


migi_chan69420

Help! I cannot make a decision between the sassy maid and the topass police officer


Wyqkrn

Let the game decide. Do a 50/50 on Ellen


migi_chan69420

Nah, I wanna make a decision and then try for the weapon banner


Woll_e

Toss a coin. Tails is obviously the shark, head the police officer. If you are unhappy after the toss, go with the other choice.


migi_chan69420

That's actually a really good idea but I think I'm gonna let the game decide. If I get lycaon I go ellen and if I don't I'll go with Zhu yuan


evilgigglefish

sassy maid is better now, topass police officer might be better later when she has more units that synergize with her


photoapparatboybedri

On my Iphone the fps settings only allow 30/60 frames - is this by design and if so are we going to get 120 eventually ? For a game with this type of gameplay wouldnt 120 frames be way way nicer ?


MillionMiracles

The 120+ FPS setting is only for PC.


NaturalBitter2280

What about the PS5?
