This was sorta rushed because I don't want to delay it till my finals lol For my next upload, I want to do something fun and silly after all the long, and serious vids lately (likely Ovenbreak again) There won't be much activity at least until December or next year :P Have a nice day, y'all :3
When you talked about the fact that pity doesn't carry, it actually does but it only carries if the amount of MLs are the same. For example if there is a banner that has all 4 MLs then the pity carries to the next banner that also contains 4 MLs. Other than that I absolutely agree with your other points I've been playing this game since the beta and I'm glad that the community isn't as toxic as other ones.
yea one thing i never liked about tot was the convoluted pity system (also 100 pity is too much imo for the amount of chips they give). one reason i quit playing after 2nd anniv was because i got sick of hitting hard pity almost every banner, combined with the fact that the pity carry over is so inconsistent
That's not entirely accurate. ToT has many banner types and remembering them all isn't too hard. Pity is only carried between banners of the same type except limited banners,which are the banners with 4SSRs. Limited banner pity never carries over to the next limited banner. For example, pity on the 1st anni banner doesn't carry over to 2nd anni's banner or Bakerlon's pity doesn't carry over to Enduring Light. 2SSR events and solo SSR events share the same pity while solo SSS banners carry pity to the next SSS banner. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I tried to simplify it but what I said doesn't cover everything.
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I had to watch. It's so rare to see Tears of Themis content so this is definitely a joy to see. The video is really well done and not too long. The brief summary for the game is well thought out and very interesting to watch. (^v^) b
I'm definitely shocked this game is still alive. I haven't really seen much gameplay of it, but I'm guessing it's forgotten because it doesn't have the same 3D and general polish of any other Hoyo game. Overall I'm glad it's alive though since I understand it's a particular game for people who enjoy it (and not that it's bad, it just lacks overall wide appeal).
This video is so underrated! I love how you analyzed and talked about the game, and I wish I discovered the game sooner. I love both the mystery aspect of the game and the romance, and this is my second hoyo game I spend a lil money on. The art, story, and characters are all super interesting to me, and it’s a nice break to play at the end of the day. And while I wish it was more popular, I am glad the community is small. I was genuinely surprised how non toxic the community was, and it’s refreshing coming from a genshin and hsr player.😅 (any ToT post I made on HoYoLAB always got super supportive, and chill comments. Idk how to describe it, but the community is just different, comforting even) its recent anniversary was what got me into the game after getting its promotion on HoYoLAB, and I am glad I got into it! And while it may have its flaws, and confusing pity system, I think I’ll continue playing it for a long time. ❤
Great video, the beginning was really strong with that Vyn meme, amazing! The person who made it must have the best sense of comedy 😏 But in all seriousness, I love the points you made. Take it from someone who has seen small fandoms blow up and burn before, I wouldn't change our community for the world! ^^
Probably one of the very few ToT content TH-cam Algorithm has recommended to me, and honestly, I'm not complaining, in fact this video actually tempted me to go revisit the game again. I forgot when I started playing, some time after its release maybe, and I stayed around for a while until my storage started dying on me :') the second time I dropped the game was due to how weak I was with the cards, typical me struggling to farm for gacha currency and not getting anything good, so it became quite a struggle for me to progress through the story without repeatedly dying and trying (and spending resources to level up my cards). But the game and story itself is quite good imo, no complaints from me regarding those. Maybe I'm just being dumb lmao, but eh, Imma gonna try pick up the game again :D (if you guys want to, I'm willing to accept a couple of friend requests). Ah yes, if y'all have some, I'd very much like some advices so when I return to the game, I don't end up using my resources irresponsibly and ended up regretting it later down the line :')
It is what it is. I’ve also suffered from the gacha :,). However I always firmly believe that the story’s pretty fun. Also, the recent update gave the option to delete card stories, animation resources so it’s much better :3
as someone who played otome games and even religiously played mystic messenger (at its peak), i can say that this game is really good. the art, the story, amazing. however, gameplay isn't for me, gacha is horrendous, and i just don't have the time for it anymore, let alone can't play it on my phone because for some reason it eats up my ram. i really want to enjoy this game 😢
Tears of Themis content 🎉. I'll be waiting (im)patiently for the characters analysis bc I love those kinds of content. But regarding the standard SSR in event banner, I wouldn't say you lose if you get standard SSR, because the pity doesn't reset. I would just say I get something extra when pulling for the event banner. The only time you might lose on a banner is when there's 2MLs card running in the same event banner, which means 50/50 chance. You still get the limited event card, but it might or might not be the ML of your choice. I don't remember if there's a guarantee bc I haven't pulled on those banner. And also rotation banner where the rate up is 2 MLs cards will be SSR (one of them is likely to be an event card and another a standard card) and the other 2 will be SR. When hitting pity for SSR, you will get one of the featured SSR, but it depends whether you want the specific card instead of the other one if you feel like you are losing or winning on that banner.
The banners are waaay too complicated imo. I just assume that when you invest a bunch into a banner, you’d want a featured card or just a specific one usually. So most of the time, if you get another card, it could be considered a loss 😅 You might have to wait for a while because I haven’t even read every card story yet 🥲
YASS I SAW TEARS OF THEMIS AND I CLICK YAYY Edit: also the pity thing, personally I like it cause then I know I’m guaranteed to get my specific cards that I want/ I know the pity for the specific bannners :) ex: me pulling on 1 and sec B day and not getting both of them? No problemo my pity will stay the same until I’m ready to get both of them again :) that’s just my personal opinion
I was playing ToT regularly but got stuck on one level and nothing i was doing would help me beat it so i quit. They do still advertise - I'm on their TH-cam and there's still videos coming out once in a while. Definitely not as much as other games tho.
ohh Tears of Themis video, on youtube? Absolutely everyone talking about Hoyo games never mentions even ToT. I played until recently actively, it was my emotional helper and just such a good game with a fun community.
this has now convinced me to actually consider downloading tot, man the artstyle is so good. how much gb does it take in an android device tho?? does it really actually take 8 gb (which isnt a lot compared to others but like damn)
Well, I don’t think many Hoyo players would be the same. I did a survey once and about the same amount of people played other games Hoyo games before ToT was the same as the amount of those who didn’t. So, I’d say when listing Hoyo games, most wouldn’t be likely to know about ToT
I have a love hate relationship with this game, I enjoy the story, characters, and art but the pity system is so fricking stupid and at a certain point, there's not much to do. Also I'm kinda dumb but once I didn't realize they were giving free daily pulls and I missed like 5 free pulls ☠️ Edit: I just saw you say there's too much to do and when you mentioned the wiggle room I AGREE SO BAD. I wish they would just accumulate tries or whatever for events instead of you needing to log in everyday. It's weird there's a simultaneous lack/too much to do but I think it depends on the player and how far they are into the game Edit: Hi, edit again. And you're also so right at the end - I still enjoy the game and think of it fondly even if it has some stuff I don't enjoy. The main thing is because it has a smaller cast, it feels like you can spend more time with your favs and have more emotional moments, which has been a hit or miss for me in Genshin
I love this game so much when it first announced. U might not believe it but I dreamt about playing such detective game in my dream, with my pov. And there was a guy too who somehow meant to be my in-game male lead???? I woke up and gone like "Damn what a nice dream, I hope there are similar game I can play irl" AND 2 MONTHS LATER THIS GAME ANNOUNCED. Like I can't believe it myself, I was so hyping Sadly it can't hook me so much, just like any hoyo game, they make the dialog line too long and complicated, it bore me :"""")))
Omgg I used to post alot on hoyolab under the same name :D (hi Im izora lol) and Rei Usagi was always there lmaoo (along with Mitsu, Acut and others)I love the community alot its just that I got burnt out of hoyolab "-w- (since Im F2P I dont have the easy content option of just showing off my lucky pulls) hence why most of my content is more creative and my creaitvity ran dry quite a while ago. Including the fact that tot posts have less views and likes on avg, although this usually doesnt impact me, havingna shitpost I made a few months ago have thousands more views than a mini comic strip that took me hours to make can be very discouraging... 😅 so Im taking a break (I've been playing since halloween 2022 and I have 74k s-chips, my self restraint has never been better as I only pull for banners I reallyyyy want, (AHEM- historical china AUs) Otherwise, I loves tears of themis, but was really dissapointwd when they didnt have a tot booth at hoyofest. (Why HOYO WHYYY)
I can feel your disappointment with the Hoyofest thing. The first time I had the opportunity to go, I was so excited until I found out they didn’t have a ToT booth there T^T
You better be sorry for showing the video of my love dying during his 8 years (tot is so underrated PEOPLE PLAY IT MORE. ITS FULL OF HOT MEN. WHO DOESNT WANT HOT MEN WHO ACTUALLY PROPOSE TO YOU)
@@Hye_I_edit At least HoYo doesn’t actively make every detail of Yanqing absolutely miserable. Like someone pointed out that Luke is bloodtype O, meaning he’s a potential donor but he could only receive blood from other O blood types 😭
im casual with ToT and ill be very honest the anxiety i feel logging in that game i think the maim menu does too much its really busy visually but ill keep playing anyway mostly for the main story and vyn 🤍

Its very nature is already niche. The games been pretty good at what it’s intended to give to the players :3

Understandable. Most people play games to have fun, and when they can’t play, they just take a break. We’ve all got a life to live :3
i ve been playing this game from day one..safe to say...i cried.....
