Version 1.4 of Zenless Zone Zero is coming to a close. Sadly on mobile it was riddled with bugs so it was very difficult to play much less upload anything. I'm happy I was able to patchwork out Chapter 5 for you guys but everything after that was impossible.
We had an Arknights Tower Defense style game which was pretty fun but on mobile it sometimes looks like a big splotch of pink, blue or green and that's an eye sore. Also with the lag I found that it was difficult to even place a tower sometimes because it would register my touch input to use a tower but not my input to drag it to a valid position.
Into the Pale Wasteland which was this patch's big event/permanent feature was a bigger mess. Combat was already prone to freezes during high congestion periods but since v1.3 it just happens randomly. This new event starts in a combat mode but there are also points when you use the brand new Bangboo maze which is a platformer designed like Fall Guys. You can imagine how bad it would be to have lag and freezes in a platforming game.
This makes me worried for v1.5 because we're actually getting a Fall Guys style event so it's all inside of the Bangboo maze platformer. Plus it'll be Co-op because Fall Guys. Lag + Random Freezing + Multi-player is probably not a good mix lol
As for the video it's just a collection of cameos we got from the last event. It was pretty cool that in a silly event where you just fill out a bingo card that miHoYo would put in the effort to have some character cameos. It isn't voiced or anything extravagant like that but it's still appreciated just to have them. Also I'm not sure if anybody else got it and I don't know when it started but the most recent time I was able to get into the sibling's room she was there and you can talk to her. Previously the room would be open but the sibling wouldn't be there.
Anyway this experience with Zenless really pointed out to me the difference between Zenless and Wuwa. I had decided to quit Wuwa after v1.2 because it just wasn't fun and I used the annoying lag and bugs it was suffering from then as an excuse towards that decision. That was all fixed in v1.3 but I still felt no desire to go back to the game and none even now that it's already on v2.0 with Rinascita. On the other hand Zenless was also laggy and that got to be as bad as Wuwa was in v1.3 and now v1.4 yet I still really love the game. I finally have my second team built and I'm loving it despite the really big splotches of blue anytime I use Miyabi's attacks or the blown out reds and oranges when I use Burnice's. It can irritate my eyes and I find I can't play for very long (compounded by the random freezes that sometimes crash not only the game but my phone as well lol) but for any time I am playing I'm still having fun.
And so fingers crossed that v1.5 will get this stuff resolved. I would even be fine with the game's performance from v1.2 and earlier if the problems can't all be solved at once.
