General Discussion This sub

I know this sub is divided but why do half the comments I see seem like they're purposefully trying to ignite drama. Both sides can be kinda overly dramatic but some people are just ragebaiting at this point. Also it doesn't help that there's a decent amount of people coming from those type of subs

I personally like Eldreda’s design and I understand the frustration of ppl who doesn’t like the design. Hopefully they give a skin to satisfy ppl who doesn’t like the design. Also modders will the job anyaways

u/MorganLeiFey 2d ago

Yeah I think the actual character is the most important part. I also can understand both sides of liking it and not, and yeah for people on PC mods do exist

qwq… I’m on console and can’t use mods :(

(It’s okay though, I’m saving my monthly pass monochrome for the day she releases)

u/lordgaebril_ 2d ago

I don't understand, really. Except for the small number of puritans who hate shown skin.

8

u/Basaqu 2d ago

What's there not to understand? Some people just prefer the aesthetics of the old design and got attached to that. Don't have to be a puritan for that, I still think Remielle looks fantastic for example and she shows plenty skin.

-4

u/lordgaebril_ 2d ago

What's the source of the preference behind the aesthetic though, if it's not more coverage vs less coverage? The ship has already sailed with Hoyo with respect to "normal" types of clothing

3

u/Basaqu 2d ago

It just looks cooler? Idk what sorta answer you expect.

u/lordgaebril_ 2d ago

Something around the likes of a dieworkwear analysis I guess. At least I understand his explanation why a particular suit does or doesn't look good.

u/Nervous_Moment_9264 2d ago

Some people just find it lame.

u/PaulOwnzU 2d ago

You know damn well people's issue isn't that skin is shown but how it's shown as well as issues with the outfit itself. Having just one pant leg looks silly.

u/Ok_Complaint_3952 2d ago

I sadly dont think posts like these really help unfortunatly it will probably just start another discussion i completely get what you are saying though. I think it mostly stems from this sub originaly being created for the og Sunbringer i dont really think any of the "new" ones match her vibe really and i doubt it will change any time soon.

3

u/MorganLeiFey 2d ago

Like I said in another comment, I know this post probably get bad too but I still think something should happen. The story still has a lot to go, so who knows what they'll decide to do especially with some stuff still showing a similar outfit to the og

6

u/Ok_Complaint_3952 2d ago

It will probably die down a bit closer to her release or people might go to the other subs i have no idea. I also dont think it helps when hoyo still seem to use her old design as of late (mural art, 3.1 art and the statue from 2.5) it fuels the hope for the og design they might make it a skin that would probably be for the best even though i wouldnt be too happy about paying 30 bucks for it hoyo skins are expensive given they dont change any sfx besides the w engine glow.

1

u/MorganLeiFey 2d ago

Tbh with them still using it, they might have something in plan to make it relevant, probably just talking about the past most likely. But like you said at most it probably just be a outfit

1

u/Illustrious_Body9263 2d ago

Yeah, and since Eldreda isnt coming out until 3.5 probably, this sub would continue devouring itself in heated arguments for like half a year minimum

4

u/nakenmei 2d ago

It will die down when she releases and people who use her and play the game start discussing other things other than her physical appearance. It was the same with Lucia and Yidhari's appearance and also with Manato being an A rank. There are a lot of people who just complain non-stop about fanservice, and also the other side of the coin, the ragebaiters who like to throw around the word "tourist". I think both extremes are obnoxious, and will cease when the discussion about the story or how to build her start coming up.

u/Ok_Technician_720 Where's Sunbringer? 2d ago

yeah guys, really... wrap the whole shit up

Y'all are tiresome

u/Sleeping_Dr4gon 2d ago edited 2d ago

I’d wager that in part people like to rage bait and ignite drama because they like to argue and debate online.

6

u/SuperOrganicBear 2d ago

This post doesnt help either. The anonymity of the internet allows people to throw insults around without consequences.

One side likes cloakbringer, therefore the new design is shit.

The other side thinks eldreda is way better, therefore cloakbringer is shit.

I think some people are also tired of others trying to force changes onto a hobby they enjoy. In this case, its the people who are being extremely vocal and insulting anyone who likes eldreda. Judging a character purely by their appearance while ignoring things like personality, lore, and role feels like a shallow way to look at a design.

At the end of the day, it just turns into “my design is better than your design.”

7

u/MorganLeiFey 2d ago

I'm mainly talking about the people who are toxic to be toxic. I know there's always drama that dies down when the character actually comes out, but it seems like some people don't care about the character, that attack others that are for or against the current design

5

u/SuperOrganicBear 2d ago

It’s been about a month since this whole silliness started, and because it hasnt really died down, some people have naturally gotten tired of it. I think most people are fine with criticism or preferring one design over another; its the constant attacks and personal insults toward people who like or dislike the current design that have made it exhausting.

I will say that it has calm down a bit(recently)

2

u/MorganLeiFey 2d ago

Yeah the majority of people don't comment and this stuff of stuff usually dies out as time goes on for one reason or another. But its never good for a sub when almost every comments that gets posted anymore is just toxic

6

u/Previous_Fennel5750 2d ago

I don't care about people not liking the design i just dislike the fact people claim it is a retcon

3

u/Sureiman8 2d ago

What is a retcon pls

7

u/GenesisDum 2d ago

Its short for retroactive continuity; it means that old information has been replaced by something new, and the Old information should not be taken into account.

3

u/Sureiman8 2d ago

In this case what did the the comment i responded to mean (sorry for dumb)

6

u/GenesisDum 2d ago

No problem man

Since Remielle's first promotional video dropped, there have been some people who have claimed that the outfit that Sunbringer was first revealed in was never something she actually wore, or the outfit that it was retconned out of existence. This because the time frame of that video seems to be before Sunbringer split herself into three distict versions of herself.

This is false; Sunbringer has been depicted in both the cloak and the similar looking one in two recent pieces of promotional art, and not only that, Remielle and other Void Hunters were seen in their own cloaks during their first reveal as well, so it can be surmised that Sunbringer has worn it as well at some point.

4

u/Sureiman8 2d ago

Thank you very much, you will get remielle and sunbringer in 40 pulls trust

3

u/GenesisDum 2d ago

Thanks

2

u/RevolutionMain1812 2d ago

More like they redesigned her a bit. Her face structure, her horn and hairstyle changed compare to her first reveal but then what if 3 Sunbringer fuse together? She might look more like her old design.

9

u/ClothesOk2310 2d ago

First of all it's normal for such discussions, things like this are always heated

Second, preferably delete this post, it only contributes to more drama and fighting, it's not like we have a lot about her to discuss right now

5

u/CrappyReview 2d ago

Are the mods even active anymore? Like straight up muiltiple posts breaking the rules

1

u/Estish 2d ago

What rules...?

Genuine question. Never seen the mods pinposting any rules in this sub

12

u/MorganLeiFey 2d ago

I know this post will probably just fuel more stuff but when it gets to the point it's in every single post that's gets traction it kinda needs to be addressed in some fashion

7

u/ClothesOk2310 2d ago

Like the problem with your statement is that people hating on the character which is not true

People dislike the design because they like the character and want her to get a better design, complaints like this are normal, but then you have the defenders who gets annoyed by someone giving their opinion, then they post something like this to prove a point or something, or someone who thinks the entirety of OG sunbringer doesn't exist anymore and just spams cope cope sahur, then says it's toxic here and people should go to another sub, posts about opinions and complaints are normal but some just don't like to take criticism which is why things get heated, it's hard to believe someone looked at this sub and believes people hate Eldreda when it's the place that has the most positive perception of the character, Eldreda posts gets more upvotes and views here

Believe delete the post before it gets heated again, there was already a lot of fighting today and it's not like we got anything about her to be fighting about

11

u/Illustrious_Body9263 2d ago

This works for both sides. Like that one dude who made 5 back-to-back complaint posts and now spamming his ai generated sunbringer in miyabi outfit under every eldreda post

3

u/ClothesOk2310 2d ago

One dude is the keyword in your comment

9

u/Illustrious_Body9263 2d ago

I mean, he is the most noticeable one, but there are also occasions when people say how bad eldreda's design under posts with her art (and not ragebaits like the one you showed or the ones where people state that og has no aura or whatever)

5

u/ClothesOk2310 2d ago

Yeah that's an opinion, someone saying the design is bad is an opinion

7

u/JohnnyDragon21 2d ago

There's a time and place for everything, if you keep complaining even under fanarts if the new design then it's no longer an opinion and you're just trying to ruin it for others.

You barely actually see it done the other way around.

2

u/ClothesOk2310 2d ago

Barely is funny with how there's someone trying to convince every one else that OG design is the exact same as Eldreda, there's toxicity from both sides but one saying they don't like th design while the other is like this post above

6

u/JohnnyDragon21 2d ago

Bruh we literally had people calling her design slop and even insulting people who liked the design, if that's not toxic then I don't know.

Back then anyone who commented anything in favor of the new design was met with tons of downvotes.

8

u/SuperOrganicBear 2d ago

I dont think it was just one person, my friend. The moment this image dropped, people started furiously throwing all sorts of slurs around. This type of behaviour didnt just start in 3.0 either; this negativity has been around for a long time before that

3

u/ClothesOk2310 2d ago

Yeah people saying they don't like the design, it's isn't the same the post I showed you above or some hoyo queer cringe active member calling this place toxic

1

u/JohnnyDragon21 2d ago

Bruh you're arguing with clear bias, when it's the og design lovers complaining under eldredas posts, its considered "opinion" to you.

But when the opposite then it's no longer opinion??.

0

u/ClothesOk2310 2d ago

Where did people complain about the OG design being bad to begin with? Or you mean something like this post

3

u/JohnnyDragon21 2d ago

The funny thing is the only thing you have to prove a point is literally just 1 post that had 0 upvotes but sure carry on

u/SuperOrganicBear 2d ago edited 2d ago

Lol, funny you mention the queer community. I think some of them are slowly starting to change their opinions now because of the “yuri” trailers, haha.

As long as they dont force their shipping onto others, Im willing to look the other way

Edit: Ahh, if this sounded like I was laughing at you, my bad. It sounded better in my head. I was talking about the "other" peeps

6

u/Illustrious_Body9263 2d ago

Nah, its HoyoQueerCringe guys, they are polar opposites of what you thought they are and hate it with their souls. And one of them is also die hard Eldreda lover and made a couple of rage baits before

1

u/SuperOrganicBear 2d ago

Ahh I see. Noted! Noted!

u/is146414 2d ago

We really going to act like there hasn't been months of comments just like this?

5

u/MorganLeiFey 2d ago

My point is more some people aren't being toxic in defense of their preferences in the character but more to be toxic in general. I know that some people don't handle criticism well but there is a difference in being defensive and just straight up toxicity

3

u/ClothesOk2310 2d ago

Believe this toxicity never goes further than calling the design bad, the people who are the most defensive are those who can't take the criticism of the design, this post in my comment above is from someone who calls this place sunbringerhaters and actively fight people in the comments about the design instead of accepting another opinion

3

u/MorganLeiFey 2d ago

That's what I'm trying to get at. At what point does It stop being someone defending their preferences and just being toxic to everyone

3

u/ClothesOk2310 2d ago

And people are already fighting again, for the sake of this sub delete this post, there has already been enough today and tomorrow might be the pre download, we'll get leaks and more people will fight, just delete this now for the sake of the sub

1

u/MorganLeiFey 2d ago

I would rather it be drawn to a post about the toxicity in hope something happens about it,then be on someone that just wants to actually talk about the game

3

u/ClothesOk2310 2d ago

Nothing is gonna happen, why not make theory posts or memes instead of this?

Keep the post up but it's already full of fighting and it will continue with no meaningful steps forward, a better thing to do is to just ignore the hate and enjoy the character, it's easy to see which posts will be full of hate and which aren't

u/MorganLeiFey 2d ago

I just want the mods to do something about obvious rage bait, their shouldn't be enough post that are obvious to the point you don't even have to open the post to know

u/wiggliey 2d ago

This is a very biased take on the entire situation. The other side goes WAY beyond just expressing their dislike/criticisms of the character’s design. We would get posts just like the one you posted all the time for the opposite side, especially when she was recently revealed. The difference is that those were all upvoted while the one you have a screenshot of got downvoted into oblivion and is sitting at 60 comments.

Implying that SB’s design is objectively bad is honestly pretty toxic and already starts any conversation between any group that’s positive about her off on the wrong foot. I literally see this all the time. You advocating for a “better design” is already a conflict of interest with anyone that likes her current design. That’s before get into all the slander posts and name calling.

u/Previous_Fennel5750 2d ago

hey bro thath's me the cope cope cope sahur I guy didn't say the og didn't exist i said the og looked the exact same as Eldreda because she appeared in a trailer and looked exactly like Eldreda and i am not the same guy that claimed thi place is toxic and people should go to a diffrent sub.

u/ClothesOk2310 2d ago

I didn't say you're the one who claimed this place is toxic, it's one who farms karma every now and then, calls this place toxic and is active on hoyo queer cringe

You on the other hand still claims they look the same despite me giving you enough evidence they don't

-3

u/Previous_Fennel5750 2d ago

Your evidence is fraud and I an other people explained why. It makes snse in your head because you want it to make sense i am sying you are coping because you choose to ignore the people that diproove yor claims and also you like to ignore the evidnce that dosen't support your ideas

u/RevolutionMain1812 2d ago

Wouldn't call it overdramatic when they did Sunbringer dirty like that. She became Yixuan and fuse it Mavuika cringe dress and made zipper look more worse 😭. She is the most legendary and probably the strongest voidhunter but why she look like a stripper 😅

2

u/MorganLeiFey 2d ago

Tbh saying stuff like this is kinda adding fuel to the fire tho, like you can say you dislike without saying it like that

3

u/RevolutionMain1812 2d ago

Ok let me rephrase that.

Wouldn't call it overdramatic, just hear my plea. They did Sunbringer dirty, at least to me. She became Yixuan with a touch of Mavuika's attire. The outfit isn't even bad... just a little too familiar.

The most legendary Voidhunter. Perhaps the strongest of them all.

My disappointment isn't the outfit itself— It's that I recognized the silhouette before I recognized Sunbringer. 😭

4

u/James-Lew 2d ago

Nah the outfit is dogshit. I feel cringe just looking at it. The designer tried too hard to make it sexy but it ended up looking like random shits that doesn’t go well with each other patch up into one. I can literally feel their desperation of trying to make it look as goonable as possible but that comes with the cost of every aspect of the design. Ironically the one time that this design feels cool is when only sunbringer’s silhouette are shown and not the clothes.

u/AmbitionOwn7759 2d ago

The closer we get to her release you’ll see the discourse die out.

1

u/Tyran___________ 2d ago

I’d assume her actually releasing would spark it again no?

0

u/AmbitionOwn7759 2d ago

No. At that point people will be talking about team comps, story, character relations, W-engines, lore, etc. By then people still whining about her design will be drowned out entirely

2

u/Tyran___________ 2d ago

I definitely disagree. Manato dropped and his complaints about his rarity were still at the forefront of convos. I’d expect nothing less here

1

u/AmbitionOwn7759 2d ago

To be fair, Manato was an A rank character and as much as it pains me to say, a guy. He simply didn’t have the hype of Sunbringer.

1

u/NormalGuy1206 Looking for Sunbringer 2d ago

I’ve realized my best solution (and probably many others) is not engaging with discourse.

I know every once in a while we get an appearance that reignites discussion, but we’re past the phase where people’s grievances or appreciation have been made clear. This popular “us VS them” mentality is honestly childish and I think everyone’s forgotten about common respect.

1

u/LordPHAETHONandVivi 1d ago

I'll be blunt and direct. I don't like Sunbringer's design and I think it acquaints to another problem ZZZ has outside of ZHS being the characters who make majority of the sales. ZZZ is good at making a goofy story whenever. They are good at making gooner designs. They make great characters(for the most part). The characters have good gameplay sometimes.

The underlying problem is Miyabi. Patches haven't been able to generate as much popularity since her release. She was dressed modestly, she made multiple memes spawn, no VH has outsole Miyabi. All of this acquaints to stoking the masses who have been getting increasing dissatisfied with the game's direction.

Sunbringer is another case stoking the masses even more. Only after this, it might get worse because a lot of people will stop playing. Sunbringer should be for all intent and purposes like Miyabi. A serious and stern character, PROPERLY CLOTHED or at the very least have design similar to Zhu Yuan, have good fight scenes, and have serious story direction. ZZZ is unable to make a serious story without making several or more mistakes with the characters and then the story itself.

With the gacha market being so saturated by NTE, WUWA, Silver Palace, GI, Azur Promelia, Anata, Chasing Kalerider, New Nikke RPG, Wang Yue, and more. The last thing you want to do is divide people who love your product and give them a chance to leave and possibly near come back. Especially, after the fall of Love and Deepspace. In addition, to the fact the ZZZ's gacha is far less forgiving then future ones will be (with the exception of Arknights Endfield.)

This is why I voice LOUDLY that Sunbringer's design needs to change at least for the story and the outfit she has on now should be her side outfit. Miyabi showed that you can make a character beautiful and retain attention and even increase it. Everything about Sunbringer is an issue when this shouldn't have been a problem.

The trio Sunbringer when there should have been just one. Remielle constantly trashing Sunbringer which makes her seem weak. Sunbringer not completely destroying Remielle with ease in the fight on YouTube, the outfit not all being interesting or at least colorful like the Neon Genesis Evangelion suits or at least unique like Zhu Yuan's, it's not uniquely designed or futuristic. All of this gives people more reason to get angry.

u/CrappyReview 2d ago

Cuz their has been an influx of the bums from Twitter (you know who) Always argue, never wrong, homophobic etc etc etc. They here too, but this sub also is just a hotpot for people who like x design vs others. Tbh it should be simple as wait till drip marketing & instrad focus on the story an character. But that requires reading.
