Just a heads up. your chances to draw good things is basically hard coded, so if you do ten all at once or ten in a row of singles, its the same, you will still get one uncommon every ten and a rare about every 90. so you didn't REALY waste a wish :)

[@hundredlives3910]

this is simply just false... what you mean is the pity system aka if you dont get a item of a certain rarity in x amount of wishes you will be guaranteed one though you can get them far before you reach this point.

[@MarioAnime07]

Agree but I'm just telling, that sometimes when I'm thinking why Japanese game button scheme were O for yes and X for no. Find out it's kind a makes sense. Logically sometimes your not using ✅ as a yes but instead using "O" and X is obviously wrong or no. When I'm often playing Japanese games and start playing back some western games. That's this thing came in my head. Why do you push X for yes and you push triangle for no 🤔. This is just my opinion. I didn't meant anything.

[@r4yv1]

You can easily switch them around, it's a setting

I find aiming with bow very difficult

[@drapas]

That and keeping opponent in frame is a bit annoying, kinda sad there's no lock on for bosses and such - Childe moves very much

Lowering aim sensitivity may help... But again it's nowhere near accurate as mouse

[@ayeto3453]

I quit the game because of the QWERTY forced and the A + B on xbox controller, i feel like devs does a very poor job on the gameplay accessibility...

I agree that it's a BIG oversight. The devs did say one of the first things on the agenda is customizing keys, so hopefully you can come back soon!

[@w0mblemania]

The difference in confirm buttons is super-annoying. Fortunately, there is now an option to switch to normal (Western) mode. Unfortunately, we still can't use the controller in the launch and exit screens. And the Left Bumper wheel menu doesn't work properly (with an Xbox controller). It only activates every second time something is selected.

Compared to mobile where you literally move the camera and shoot using the same button as it’s a hold to aim and let go to shoot system.
