HP inflation and Coruption is killing the game

30 millions HP, this is insane

This game has been in a decline for a year.

I’m a day one player, took a break for two months but since then i’ve been consistently logging in and completing everything with every new patch. Up until version 3.4 (for me at least), I really did enjoy star rail, I was able to clear every endgame and divergent universe, the events were original, fun, and lasted as long as the version itself.

With every update through the 3.x versions, the game just started to feel recycled. Every new character was breaking a ceiling of the meta, and with back to back new paths, it’s ridiculous how the devs are trying to force the players to pull their new units. Coming from a player who can clear endgame with Kafka and Firefly.

Icing on the cake is breaking the wall between powerful playable units and aeons. HSR introduced emanators as powerful beings that fit into the archetype similar to Genshins archons. Aeons are deemed beyond that. It breaks the wall between the power of characters and external beings. It really just makes the expectations so much higher, and knowing that most units get powercreeped every 5 patches, it’s not a good look.

хорошо, но есть одно но..

игра реально крутая и, как по мне, лучшая на данный момент из актуальных у хое, в которой есть множество плюсов. однако с версии -+3.5 появился один жирный минус, который оставляет негативные эмоции, и это главный сценарист шаоцзи… братан реально портит сюжет, делая его одни и тем же, только под разными соусами. увольте это позорище, пожалуйста, не хороните игру, которая итак уже от него пострадала🫩🫩

Powercreep

Big Hoyo can u find another way to lure us to spend our money besides of double the monster HP every update?💔

Aventurine waveflair

Aventurine waveflair saved my life ty

Just terrible

Game play is practically nonexistent, powercreep is horrendous even for your average predatory gacha game, character development is as shallow as it can possibly be and plot lines will get retconned whenever convenient so the devs can shill the banner of the month. Don’t even bother.

It take way too long to load

It take over twenty minutes to load for me and every time I go on to the game it ask me to download a bunch of stuff

Be better, Hoyoverse.

This game has dark-skinned NPCs with sterotypes like donut lips and a dark-skinned character's skills' names are a reminder of slavery. And it happened RECENTLY. What kind of gacha game does that? In addition, the creator of Honkai Star Rail, Hoyoverse, has some horrible history, they made little children, specifically girls, EXTREMELY REVEALING. I'll admit, the storyline is pretty amazing, however I wouldn't play this game if I were you.

La suerte

El personaje blade me arruina el juego por que no deja de aparecer en cada puta tirada

Rates are rigged

Trash ah game

Strong Start, Weak Everything Else

I remember playing at launch and I loved every minute of it. World was fun to explore, lots of funny references and cool lore. Quests were great, story was AWESOME. But the power creep quickly started and now it’s completely out of hand. You NEED to get every new character in order to even think about getting rewards for each patch. Every boss has a gimmick. Like let’s say (using simple terms here) patch/char A is purple element. The boss will be weak ONYL to purple element and have 90% immunity to every other element and be unbreakable unless u use char A’s ability. Then patch/char B is red element. The new boss is immune to everything but red element…..you get the idea.
In typical Hoyo fashion the story is bogged down by so many made up technical terms and names. What are we even doing anymore lol. Also alt forms for older chars instead of buffs, so just more $$$ if u want to use them.
At least they have a skip button unlike Genshin. But u can’t skip everything.

Don’t play this if you’re new

I’ve been playing this game since release. While I have in the past enjoyed it, that’s changed recently. It’s so horrible to play if you are thinking of starting now. Wait a few patches till they either decide to fix their multitudes of issues, or just don’t play.

If you don’t care about endgame content or story, which is about 90% of the game, then I guess you’ll probably be completely content with the current state of the game.

I love the turn based combat system, but the shill and powercreep has gotten out of hand and is borderline unplayable for free-to-play and new accounts. The bosses that were designed to shill the new elation path are still somewhat difficult to beat with an elation team. That shouldn’t happen. There is supposed to be a boss coming out that takes 75% reduced damage from non-elation units apparently. It’s annoying to deal with the constant shill.

The hit point inflation is also getting out of hand, to the point that bosses are literally double their hit points from when they were last in endgame. They have also introduced a new mechanic called voracity that will basically revive the enemy if you don’t do enough damage. It was introduced because of a current quest plotline, but is not tied to the quest itself. If you are early game, you are still affected by it. This becomes an issue with newer players who may already be struggling with fights, and now those fights are much longer and more difficult. While I like the mechanic in concept, it shouldn’t be affecting the fights across the entire game in my opinion, and it has NO place in endgame content.

This current Apocalyptic Shadow is possibly the worst one we’ve ever had and I think the voracity mechanic effecting apoc is a large factor in that (along with the horrid HP inflation.) Despite having the teams that the apoc nodes were specifically designed to shill, it was still a hassle to clear. I’m not asking for endgame to be easy— I’d prefer a challenge, but this is getting out of hand. They already have an entire endgame designed around the players who will spend money on getting lots of eidelons. They don’t need to turn Apoc and MoC into Anomaly Arbitration. The new pure fiction isn’t currently out yet, but I’ll bet it’s gonna be just as bad.

As for the story, it’s been rushed and a bit of a mess. I know some of it was because they had to change things last minute due to reasons outside the game, but they should have pushed back the schedule or something if that was the case because planarcadia is messy. No one gets much character exploration at all even when they get an entire SP and Evanescia was so irrelevant it was almost impressive how little would have to be changed to write her out of the story entirely. It hasn’t been horrible by any means, and in all honestly I liked planarcadia for the most part, but most people I’ve seen talk about it were decidedly not fans of it.

The character designs have become somewhat repetitive and a third of the planarcadia cast has the same exact color palette.

The rewards are abysmal. You get enough for maybe 50-60 wishes per patch, but that’s assuming you do every single daily check in, event, weekly DU/CW points, and that you are able to fully clear every endgame. Most people can’t/don’t do all of them. That isn’t enough for a singular 5 star, and it’s not even guaranteed to be the one you want. Again, they give you 50-60 pulls over the span of 6 weeks, during which there are anywhere between 8 and 16 banners during those weeks, and that’s not including the 8 fate stay night collab banners. They do maybe 1 event a patch (which again is usually around SIX WEEKS LONG) and these events can almost always be done in an afternoon and give usually less than a full 10 pull.

None of this has even mentioned the blatant racism, either. There are so few people of color in this game and the ones that are there are either racist caricatures or are basicially grey. It’s like hoyoverse is allergic to color. Arlan is incredibly grey and his kit names are centered around things like breaking chains…. It’s really odd quite frankly. There’s also a black man with “donut lips” in robins trailer. It’s straight up racist.

The game in its current state is a mess and the people at hoyoverse don’t care about their playerbase or its opinions so long as they can still milk them for money.

Fix your game.
