Honkai: Star Rail Discussion Thread

Wonder if this a reference since it was released 3 months before HSR
 
does anyone know what are the steps for adding a verse? :]
Created a verse page in sandboxes or blogs → explain everythint about the verse and then what ratings would they get → created at least 2-3 character profiles from the verse → maybe go to Wiki Page Collaboration to ask if there's anyone who interested in the verse → then CRT.

At least that's what I know. IIRC.

oh. cool cool ok thanks
 
Yeah the barrier is weird. It could just be a normal interastral barrier, or responsible for blocking aeons or some nonsense. We'll likely never know.
Its like the third time I'm posting this scan btw:

Like we can't keep ignoring the elephant in the room. Though I will say, going from "it does" to "we don't know" is progress.

When it comes to the Cocoon, you need to prove you're credible beforehand. A lot of characters downplay it and say stupid things related to the Cocoon, while the ones who actually know about it, like Sena, hype it up to insane levels.
If they want information to taken with a grain of salt, it would've either been framed that way from jump (eg: Dr. MEI making it clear the Cocoon's origin was her own speculation) or have later information supersede it (eg: Sa going from on par with the Cocoon, to still the same kinda entity but not even close to 1/10th of it). Marah's info wasn't presented as speculation, her credibility is never called into question, and she has yet to be contradicted. There's also not a lot of people commenting on the Cocoon, let alone without prefacing their comments with skepticism, so I don't really know stupid things your referring to.

Sa's plan, in the end, works like Project Stigma. It eliminates what the Cocoon is trying to embrace, so the Cocoon simply left. Not to mention we see the Cocoon has authority above the sea's and power that should logically transcend it.
Not really. Project Stigma was much closer to the Venus Soul System if anything. Sa's plan wasn't even much of a plan. It was just flooding the planet with Sea's power since the Cocoon doesn't control it. That's what got rid of the Cocoon, not the people dying and it being bored and leaving. People die when it does its thing all the time.

You can know the functionalities of the Cocoon, you can know there's a higher entity. All these things are observable in the base world of Hi3. Actually observing the Cocoon though? That's another thing entirely, so statements about the Cocoon's power through direct measurement should be doubted, as it's stated numerous times how difficult it is to actually get to the Cocoon.
That'd be a great argument if she was only vaguely, nebulously aware of some higher order being, but she knew about the Cocoon itself.

It could've been anything from the Cocoon's arrival that stopped it from fluctuating or formed another barrier, to Kiana becoming the Cocoon in the present screwed up the barrier.
Yeah, we don't know.
Which is why I suggest we go off of what we do know.

Barrier of masterless img energy that's explicitly NOT under the Cocoon's control
The Cocoon's reach not extending that far
Vita directly saying their power is what allows those barriers to be crossed

Like I'm not opposed to the idea of the Cocoon being why the Aeons haven't glanced there (literally what else could it even be) but I don't like forcing the idea that its the barrier when that has nothing to do with the Cocoon and is something the Aeons naturally can cross all while ZERO statements of that being in the game.

Me and Scoopsie are different people. Myself, I'm confused on your point.

Is it the line about the patch of sky above them? So they're unable to leave the solar system? Like of course there's a barrier. We've known that since Part 1.5.
The only reason people doubt it is because there's a size discrepancy, Hi3 is only solar system sized.
If they want information to taken with a grain of salt, it would've either been framed that way from jump (eg: Dr. MEI making it clear the Cocoon's origin was her own speculation) or have later information supersede it (eg: Sa going from on par with the Cocoon, to still the same kinda entity but not even close to 1/10th of it). Marah's info wasn't presented as speculation, her credibility is never called into question, and she has yet to be contradicted. There's also not a lot of people commenting on the Cocoon, let alone without prefacing their comments with skepticism, so I don't really know stupid things your referring to.
Though, even Dr. MEI only knew there was in fact, a Cocoon.
The whole Prometheus convo was 'IF Sa is equal to the Cocoon' - Not to mention 1/10th is talked about as size.

The only reason me and others doubt Marah is because there's genuinely no way she should be able to locate the Cocoon to try and measure it. Any direct viewing or measurements of the Cocoon should also be impossible, as even Senadina, who is close to embrace, isn't recognised by the Cocoon and thus forgets previous moments within its presence.
Locating the Cocoon is explicitly only possible via the power of Finality, which nobody else has seized up until Kevin and Kiana (Sena hasn't even seized it fully). The whole reason that was possible comes down to Elysia and the previous era, infinitesimally small odds.

Not to mention Hoyo's storytelling itself takes into account what characters do / don't know. Many characters are unreliable in the moment and future conversations flesh out a topic.
For example, speaking on Imaginary Singularities. They were first assumed by Tesla and Ein to be Herrscher Cores, which isn't wrong, but later down the line the Cocoon is labelled as the one and only Imaginary Singularity.
Not really. Project Stigma was much closer to the Venus Soul System if anything. Sa's plan wasn't even much of a plan. It was just flooding the planet with Sea's power since the Cocoon doesn't control it. That's what got rid of the Cocoon, not the people dying and it being bored and leaving. People die when it does its thing all the time.
I'll disagree since there were no humans for it to pursue to embrace after the fact, but regardless, the Cocoon has clearly grown in strength since that incident regardless, due to the several transcend dimensions statements existing. Just to be perfectly clear, I'm not comparing their functionalities, just the end-result. No civilisation, Cocoon is no longer an issue. You could just assume the sea stopped the temporal rewind due to having a screwy sense of time, but that's a leap.
That'd be a great argument if she was only vaguely, nebulously aware of some higher order being, but she knew about the Cocoon itself.
Is this when Marah talks about the 'Abyss'? Due to the points above (difficulty locating the Cocoon, Sena's own experiences) it just flat out shouldn't be possible.
Like I'm not opposed to the idea of the Cocoon being why the Aeons haven't glanced there (literally what else could it even be) but I don't like forcing the idea that its the barrier when that has nothing to do with the Cocoon and is something the Aeons naturally can cross all while ZERO statements of that being in the game.
Yeah, that's fair, and I'll agree. It's just that I don't want to jump to a conclusion that the Cocoon is doing something we've never been told it does.
