I've been playing the game for over a year and it's been okay but now I want to try and wean myself off it. I only have 9 characters I don't own.

By that, I mean cutting back on repetitive dailies and having to use the resin rather than having it max out so I can build up my characters.

I spent a lot of rolls trying to get Shinobu but all I got was a few Gorous instead, and I'm not sure why I wasted my time as I should have just stopped at getting one Gorou.

I already have the five star characters on next banner but think because of how much I did on this banner (I already had Itto on release), probably going to get C1 Kazuha.

Maybe I should have taken a break whilst the delay was going on, but even then I don't want to miss out on the events and that. Hard times, isn't it?

If you're feeling burned out i recommend only doing dailies,weeklies, events and dump resin farming boss mats or leylines and then go check out some other games for a bit. I got some resident evil games and i'm loving REmake2 so far, they should keep me occupied until 2.8.

speaking of the xiao quest, is no one gonna talk about the fact paimon completely conked out while flying? it can be explained by lack of animations for her, but given what we know about mechs not being able to operate in the depths, and she didn't exert any power compared to itto or anyone, it kinda feels like doubts i had are clearing up just a bit

overall i thought the quest was pretty good, combined with the interlude quest i think they're improving once again from whatever the hell inazuma's archon questline was

I thought the devs simply gave up and pushed her and itto out so they can sell a serious moment for once. The compass section could've had Paimon repeat "IT SEEMS YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG!!" over and over but they didnt. It's a rare moment where the game silently expects you to solve everything. My brother actually got stuck and i heard others got too, so i wonder if they regret it now.

I think inazuma archon quest sucked because it was very obvious they wanted to get raiden out soon as possible so the entire quest ends in 2 patches so it's rushed as hell. The shit you do for ayaka is pointless since you meet raiden anyway, the shit you do for kokomi is filler, you meet scaramouche randomly and he gets the gnosis, you meet signora even more random and she dies, raiden immediatly attacks you, loses and becomes good, the end.
Like, 2 giant islands are complete filler. Hell even enkanomiya is filler despite having its own event with heavy lore.

There is a war happening but nobody mentions the cannons out there, when liyue made a big deal about theballistas. Monstat tries hard to sell how the glider is a real thing but the inazuma electrogran is somehow a game only feature? There is sidequest stuff that should be plot relevant like the fatui getting a nuclear reactor, but instead it's optional.

I mean, i wont pretend the previous archon quests had a lot going on but they felt immersive at least. I only hope sumeru will have more thought put onto it and they slow it down.

btw since i'm here, have some leaks that might or might not change, i'm not sure i trust them myself yet.

2.8: Kazuha/Klee + heizou first half, Yoimiya solo second.

3.0: Thighnari (new 5* dendro charge shot archer), Dori (4* elec) and Collei (4* dendro) are allegedly the newcomers. Leakers also insist this patch will have zhongli/ganyu rerun because it will be around genshin's birthday again.

Artifact Sets
Dendro set: 2pc 15% dendro dmg and 4pc dendro dmg reduces dendro resistance (makes sense if anemo cant swirl dendro)
ATK/EM set: 2pc 80 EM and 4pc gives bonus atk% for every teammate of same element and EM bonus for team mates of opposite element (sounds like a flexible reaction set, maybe good for yae).
 
I would love Kaz/Yoi reruns. Diluc just isn't doing it for me as my Fire DPS anymore.

As for 3.0 I really, really, REALLY hope they take Monstat/early Liyue 5*'s who have had 3+ reruns and put them on the standard banner with their signature weapons. It won't happen, of course, but 2 years with no change on the standard banner and I'm not even remotely excited for any older character reruns. I'd like some hope that I won't pull another damn Qiqi on standard wishes, damn it

Diluc is absolutely viable (source: me) but he trades power for convenience. If you wanna go for yoimiya, just be warned you need a team completely around her. My brother has her and heavily dislikes playing her since her flowchart is literally "skill ->3 full combos -> burst -> leave" and nothing else. You probably want zhongli with her too since most of her dmg is on the final hit so you cant interrupt your combo with dodges. She also has no AoE at all so you probably want a different pyro for crowded rooms (or use her with venti?). As always, remember that xiangling exists and is broken so if you a dps use her, go for yoi if you like her character too.

There's alleged leaks that they will change the standard banner around 3.0 which makes sense but i hope they at least give us some choice of pity because i still didnt get Jean and if they add more characters and weapons i'll probably never get her at this rate...

I’d argue Yoimiya’s best friend as far as team building is the Raiden Shogun - pop Raiden’s Skill, swap to Yoimiya and pop her skill, and you have what I refer to as the Overload Machine Gun. Add Miko for extra Overload as you please.

I’d at least hope that they slowly start adding older Limited characters to the standard pool after a while - 2 years is plenty, especially with the slow drip feed our current character release’s and rotation are at - but I’mnot going to hold my breath on that happening.

Watch now that we’ve said it they announce that for this year’s anniversary…
 
3.0 beta starts today, alleged tighnari design, he's a dendro bow character

for how much you guys think that yaoyao and baizhu will be kept in the waiting jail, now that with 3.0 dendro will fully be a thing?

yaoyao is confirmed by supposedly trusted leaks to be released soon, whether that changes is to be seen. scaramouche is already going to be both a new boss and playable character in 3.2, so those two will surely come soon after.

TBF, it's to be expected from the 5* skin.
He's a actually a 5* with 5* SKIN, as in, his skin is more expensive and changes his idle animation and visual effects. It will cost 2500 cristal or 2000 with discount. The other skins are 1700 without sale.
she's really a loli and pretty pale... twitter in shambles?

This but unironically

Other characters reactions are equally as bad

This will be a "fun" ride, to say the least.
