Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.4 "A Storm of Falling Stars" Special Program Reaction

[@rakhaanantabaskoro4461]

1:06:39 I'm actually planning to have a team of Lighter, Miyabi and Lucy with rocketboo for that extra fire anomaly buildup to setup a hopefully consistent disorder with Miyabi. Also, to answer your question, YES, damage bonuses contribute to anomaly damage

[@quantum_sleep]

I like that you mention that TV mode reminds you of games you played as a kid. I personally enjoyed the dungeon crawler-esque gameplay it is, like Chocobo Dungeon i played as a kid. All these changes are definitely a huge undertaking to streamline the game for what they believe is the majority of the audience. Cant wait to see what it becomes, ill take the free Harumasamasa anyways :)

[@Shin_kibotoai]

Btw ima go with miyabi, burnice, and lucy but if you don’t got burnice you can use piper and it should be a great match!! (And Ykw I’ve also heavily investing into anomaly teams but I’ll just have two now lol and a good harumasa team as well) it’s also vary cool how Miyabi works because she scales off of crit like attack agents so you very much could fit her into the Ellen staple team very nicely

[@smward87]

5:17 China (and Japan) have worn masks for decades. The pandemic didn't really change how they do things at all, it was just the rest of the world that had to adapt.

[@dansebastiancostin3590]

40:30 Basically the energy will régen even for characters that are off field.

[@jakubbarczyk4310]

This is pretty much a soft Relaunch, core elements changed, registration again, free s rank to promote it.

[@striate.8711]

Wild take for obvious reasons, but fair points made to make it seem like so. I'm actually glad I can regain the TV mode (I HATED not having this for 1.2/3 main content) but this wasn't everyone's cup of tea.

[@BuddyChy]

@@striate.87111.3 was the same as 1.1 though. Special episodes follow a particular agent that has nothing to do with the proxies so it doesn’t have tv mode.

[@BuddyChy]

Yes and no. The core elements have remained pretty much the exact same. They just made some adjustments and additions.

[@striate.8711]

​@@BuddyChy Fair enough. I should have realized that special episodes aren't meant to have a TV mode because the Proxies aren't directly involved. Yeah 1.2 felt like it wasn't the same game anymore and I started to play this game a lot less. Until recently knowing Miyabi is finally coming up.

[@BuddyChy]

@ the story is just a fraction of the game though. Outside of the main story missions, there’s still plenty of tv mode content. A vast amount of the game is combat anyways so idk why it would feel like a different game but to each their own I suppose. I enjoy the tv mode too, but it was also secondary to the combat to me and there simply wasn’t enough of it in between the tv mode sections imo. I’m looking forward to the new hybrid idea they’re implementing.

[@skyzell5029]

This story screaming season 1 finale type thing

[@Roma_Romanee-Conti]

Well the producer indeed said that this is the season one's highlight

[@acdatpb]

Seasons 1 climax

[@TheWayCafe]

This stream was WILD. Tons to talk about and lots to look forward too. Zenless Zone Zero's 1.4 is looking insane! What did y'all think of the 1.4 Special Program? 👀

[@blaze_taiyou]

It was just AMAZING. And if you didn't notice, when they talked about Miyabi and Harumasa's banners, they said "at the same time" Officially, BOTH BANNERS WILL BE OUT AT THE SAME TIME!!!

[@acdatpb]

I personally very exited how they did the banner thing this time around, not sure if its just for this patch only but having miyabi and harumasa come out at the same time and let them stay till 1.4 ends is wild. It definitely gives players plenty of time to grind like crazy

[@rain_y01]

Oh hey, I was just waiting for your reaction! Can't wait to hear your thoughts, this livestream was amazing :)

[@BuddyChy]

All agents start combat with 1000 decibels. Off field agents will gain decibels at half the rate of the on field character. So if your stunner, for example, stays on field to stun the enemy, when they reach 3000 decibels, both your other agents will have 2000 decibels. So you’re not going to have to worry about Zhu Yuan not getting her ultimate just because she doesn’t get field time. You’ll probably want to occasionally assist them on field quickly to build a little bit more decibels.

[@TheWayCafe]

@@BuddyChy That’s awesome! 👀

[@Jane_Jaray]

All the tasty improvements! Finally I can do everyone's ult! I agree with pretty much everything you guys said. Free Haru means I can try for Miyabi since I have Yanagi already. I love ranged chars, so this is fantastic! Yeah, not much to say really, just excited for the story. The amount of events and gamemodes tho 😅

[@Liger_Soba]

I love watching y’all reactions lowkey

[@spoon1050]

I think they aren't doing as well as they wanted to. 1.0 ALOT of people dropped the game over the TV mode especially in CN.

[@Fire1nRain]

Fun fact: the special Ice you are talking about, actually have a higher multiplyer when it comes to anomoly procs,

[@Eenkin]

39:48 So the screenshot is what happens when you get a double droprate reward event. On the left is how it currently is where it lists the double drops first before the regular drops. The right is reorganizing it starting with next patch so that it sorts by rarity instead. This makes it so you scroll less when checking S rank disc stats when it was separated between which double and regular drops.

[@Alatzas1]

I wanted to get Yanagi so much I exited my polychrome hoarding mode aaaand... I got Nekomata. The only thing that makes this not a complete disaster is the fact that I like Nekomata and I didn't have her, so I wanted to get her too eventually BUT NOT LIKE THIS! I hate 50/50s... Well, at least I'm guaranteed the next time I decide to pull.

[@TheWayCafe]

@@Alatzas1 Dang. 😅 Who you going for now?

[@Alatzas1]

@@TheWayCafe Guess I'm just gonna wait for reruns and get Zhu Yuan or Jane.

[@CaelusXFirefly69]

And that's what we called an INSANE UPDATE!!

[@lelol83]

regarding the ults they will probably make whole party get energy for them passivly while the on field character will get it faster plus they will reduce their damage powers as balance thing since now you can throw 3 ults instead of 1 per party

[@yugislv5906]

I hope nothing "bad" will happen to one of the characters that are going to be present in this 1.4 story- (Maybe I shouldn't jinx it)

[@rafaelgilsanchez1527]

17:04 FBI Open up ! 🚔🚨😂

[@catseuphori]

im going full on miyabi than gonna start saving for jane MIYABIS ANIMATIONS ARE SICK

[@hlonghi]

Miyabi is an archon. Ok. got it. will get her XD

[@code8825]

I’m sad I lost the 50/50 for Yanagi, I’m trying to think of a team I can build for Miyabi now. Would it be possible to have a Miyabi/Harumasa/Grace team and use Haru basically as a support? Best team I can think of right now with my current agents

[@hlonghi]

Maybe Soukaku would be good for her? I mean, she is free and a very good support.

[@Soul_King_Jeo]

The new Disc drives are very interesting at least the first one for me because It made me wonder of what kind of stats Miyabi needs can’t wait to find out

[@Wcsm112]

8:33 what is this track?! 🔥

[@akutgawa]

HARUMASA😭😭😭😭😭

[@rifqiirianto6924]

i hope they update more city life feature, like up coming hangout feature, i also want to go inside the mall and other big building.

[@BuddyChy]

Yanagi will be Miyabi’s best teammate, but Miyabi will still be great without her

[@Fire1nRain]

It is explained in the program, that characters in the background will recieve a percentage of decibles earned by the front character

[@v-possestudios1132]

I think Burnice is also a really good choice with Miyabi cause the burn status she inflicts stays whilst she's off field, which makes it much easier to Disorder. That being said, I'm not gonna solely focus on Disordering as she already looks ridiculously powerful as it. On another note, the Decibals are gonna be awesome. Seeing all of my agents nuke the field on a regular basis will probably be one of the best feelings in the world, and as someone who's two probably best teams right now are Anby/Nicole/Zhu Yuan and Lighter/Burnice/Jane, I pretty much always use their ults immeidiately.

[@azaelordaz4818]

I want a zhu yuan rerun so bad 😢

[@anonymoususer775]

Zenless just hasn't done as well as hoyos other games (genshin, hsr) and I guess this update is kind of a soft reboot to attract new players

[@AmethystPaladin]

Off-field Agents gain Decibels, you guys might have missed that!

[@elmariachi290188]

my most invested dps right now is zhu yuan so i do worry about the decibels changes. its possible that this changes could nerf her to the ground, hopefully not. unless she got like extra decibels from off field when enemies are stunned or defeated, so its still possible to build her ult with low field time.. anyway still very hype for 1.4!

[@demibeans]

Her team is my most built as well. Qingyi, Nicole and Zhu all level 60, maxed Skills overall, and now I’m worried about the ult as well. We’ll see how it works, hopefully it won’t nerf her too much since her team has carried me

[@MrEsphoenix]

Others have clarified. Off field characters gain decibels at 50% rate of onfield.

[@azureknight729]

Why are you acting like Zhu yuan relies heavily on her ultimate for damage? She does great enough damage with her charge shots as is. Don’t get me wrong, her ult does hit pretty hard and she will lose some dps for sure but she’s fine with or without it, ive cleared all hard content with her without using her ultimate several times already and still manage to clear everything just fine, no biggie. You shouldn’t really worry about not getting her ultimate because if you are mainly referring to hard content you will definitely get her ultimate up no problem since you tend to last longer in hard content, giving you enough time to accumulate the energy needed.

[@jacobfoti887]

So while i agreed about them apologizing too much and that the new decibels might be an issue it needs to be said that change was necessary because in the old system there was basically never a reason to support or defense ult which just felt bad as a whole part of the kit was never touched

[@かんちょう-q9p]

Yeah, while we want use their ult, it feels wasted to use it for tank/support

[@BuddyChy]

Yeah and I think the idea wasn’t a bad one to share decibels and choose who to use it, but I think it just didn’t play out as intended so this new change is good. Different ultimates also having different bonus effects like supports provide energy to the whole team, stunners have a super high daze multiplier, and defense agents replenish assist points.

[@anonymoususer775]

​@BuddyChy one decibel might've worked if it was easier to charge ult, but overall each having their own gauge is better imo

[@BuddyChy]

@ yeah the idea of deciding who should use it at what time was unfortunately an illusion because there’s not really a strategy behind it since only some are worth using if you’re trying to get the most out of it. So many animations and extra benefits just went to waste.

[@jakubbarczyk4310]

Astral voice set exists - me looking at Astra yao the singer....

[@BuddyChy]

Literally lol

[@Liger_Soba]

Spoiler for future unit: Correct!

[@blackvial]

Sad they're changing the coffee, goodbye are the days i just get the one that gives 80 energy

[@ShadowmanX1989]

I think the 80 one is still there? They only combine every x2 coffee into one

[@rez-ye]

Unfortunately Harumasa was nerfed into the ground where he’s basically barely better than a M6 Anton.

[@spoon1050]

They rebuffed him

[@rez-ye]

@ I saw, thank goodness

[@Hronika-kw5pl]

Tbh i am so disappointed in their decision to not only decrease but completely delete tv mode from the game (i know you can turn it on but it still doesn't change my disappoinment) it was the best thing in the game for me when it was just launched.... when i heard for the first time that they are decreasing it (was it 1.1 or 1.2 idk) i just stopped playing and now it seems that it's just worse it is such a shame because i really enjoyed the uniqueness and aesthetic of the game, now it looks like any other game tv mode also made so much sense lore wise..... sometimes devs shouldn't listen to loud minority and this is one of the cases for me

[@Hronika-kw5pl]

they should have followed their own view on the game's gameplay and not stoop down and change the core mechanics of the game

[@code8825]

While I partially agree with you, I enjoyed aspects of TV mode and thought it was a cool and unique thing, but could also get frustrated with it sometimes, I think you’re labelling of it as a “small minority” is wrong, TV mode was the largest complaint from players. I personally always put off doing “exploration” missions to last because I find the combat ones much more enjoyable. I think TV mode being shoved away to side content is a bit weird, but I think TV lovers were the minority, not the TV haters

[@os1583]

No such thing as listening to loud minority for companies as huge as Mihoyo. Everything is just numbers on a spreadsheet. The change means it is significant on their data. Otherwise, minority can vomit blood screaming and there won't be a single change.

[@-miaumiau]

I mean I love the tv mode but that was a gigantic complaint from a majority of players. Regardless we have both now so it’s the best of both worlds! And personally even with the removal of the tvs I didn’t notice at first but I’m glad they listened to the majority and the minority of players

[@-miaumiau]

also I don’t think the tv mode changed? It’s still our same old tv mode I don’t see how it’s ‘worse’ (unless I’m mistaken.)

[@SweggsNBacon]

I absolutely disagree with your opinion on TV mode. During launch i tried zzz and while it was enjoyable, the TV mode was a huge punch in the face everytime, stopping us from actually playing the game and ruining all momentum. That plus the relatively weak launch unit (maids are very much a niche character archetype. if u like em good for u, if u dont thats fine too). This update made me reinstall after so long and I really hope ZZZ continues to improve. My main games are HSR and Wuwa, and seeing those devs give so much care to their players, and seeing ZZZ have a similar transparency and respect, gives me hope for this game too. Also neither Wuthering waves nor ZZZ will win or even deserve to win best mobile game, and the biggest reason for that is cause Balatro is good enough to be a strong contender for game of the year. As much as i love gachas, Amazing indie games hat move their genre forward will always be more fun.
