the english localization continues to be trash
but aside from minor nitpicks sumeru has been fantastic so far. world design and music are fantastic as always and i'm really enjoying some of the new mechanics. especially the four leaf sigils, zooming around the map is so quick and easy.
dendro is good but a bit disappointing. it feels pretty strong but it's far more mechanically complex than all the other elements and it doesn't feel worth it for the results. it feels more like a workaround to buff electro and hydro than its own element, like it doesn't even react with cryo at all (which does allow for some interesting freeze/bloom teams). unfortunately with the leaks of nilou's kit it seems like they already know this and are deciding to create characters around the element, which sucks for teambuilding and makes it even more niche.
i don't know how many of you actually play the game for the story but personally i thought the archon quest was great, especially the entire ending section (i won't spoil it but it's a bit of a mindfuck).
in short: sumeru good

Is the little girl (sudaneh) who won't shut up about marrying an adult female (Rana) the same in the other languages? Like does she say the same thing in Chinese/ Jp? I know Ch/ CCP would wanna censor that kinda stuff.

she does in japanese
i can't read stinky chinky but i assume it's the same there. to be honest all the localizations seem to be pretty accurate, the english one just likes to throw in cringe references or jokes when the others don't

Welp, the Genshin Twitter Tards apparently broke Dori’s VA. The Usual Suspects apparently had a bitchfit about a PoC voicing a White Character- this feels like a reversal of their usual shenanigans…

Wait, she's Indian... voicing a character from what is supposedly the India of Genshin Impact. Also Kaeya's VA is White in EN dub & Japanese in the JP dub.

I don’t pretend to understand how these retards think, I just laugh at them. Then feel like doom posting because for some reason what seems like every company on earth listens to these retards…
But yeah, and people wonder why the Genshin devs generally don’t tend to interact with the community outside of the Live Streams…

eeeey we're back kiwis, i missed this site. Some short beta news since i'm here.
>Cyno: Buffed burst scaling and EM gives bonus flat dmg passive. Still has the issue of 18s field time and low aplication.
>Nilou: Buffed Epassive to also give 60em to whole team. No changes to team limitations tho si i guess they wont change it.
>Cancade: Nerfed normal atk scaling and c6 hydro atk scaling (which is weird since candace is already super niche at best).
IGN actually interviewed her btw
The sad and funny part is that i'm the localization team picked her BECAUSE she was PoC in order to soften the backlash. Raiden VA is asian, Tighnari's VA is middle eastern and Dori's VA is hindu (i think?), there is an obvious attempt to make the VA match the perceived character nationality, but in this case it backfired because twitter thinks Dori being white is a offensive and attacking her VA for supporting the game.

after no lifing the game all weekend with the farms down, i have now completed basically everything (or at least as much as i can find on my own. i don't like looking at puzzle/chest location guides)
spending a lot more time playing around with dendro has changed my initial impressions a bit. i still feel that it's more of a buff to other elements than a standalone element but that's what it was designed to do and it does it very well. keqing is actually a completely viable dps now and some already good characters like fischl are probably top tier. it also feels insane to me that traveler is arguably the best current dendro support, i actually bothered leveling them up for the first time and have been very pleased with their performance.
overall it's a very welcome breath of fresh air. i'm not sure how meta it will end up being but it's more than enough to clear any content in the game comfortably and it makes a lot of previously weak characters competitive or at least workable (thoma burgeon teams lol)
also the aranara questline is easily the best side content in the game so far and very worth doing imo. it is very long though so be prepared for that. plus the little guys are adorable

Sumeru Part 1 is a blast, and the Archon Quests were much better paced than the Inazuma slowfest then rush. Most of the world quests that you need to get enough reputation to unlock bounties seem to be locked behind a specific quest chain which is slightly annoying, but the second chapter of said chain makes up for it.
I've been hanging out in the Discord server and helping people with various bits of new and old content...and it's kind of amazing to see how long some people have played yet still have no idea what they're doing.
The English team definitely likes their references.

Yeah, I don't really see that many use scenarios for her, because she's even more specific than Yun Jin, and Yun Jin only really gets used for like 2-3 teams at most. At best I can see her replacing the second cryo character for the Razor/Yun Jin/Candance/Cryo character team, or replacing Yun Jin herself in Yoimiya teams. Maybe on a Noelle team where you just want to see the biggest possible numbers on that final combo hit too I guess.
Which is a huge shame, because her design is godlike.

Tried a single 10 pull for another Fischl (not that I'll get her C6 any time soon) and instead got GEO CEO, don't know if to laugh or cry

I joined someone yesterday who was asking for help to farm the peacock boss and the dude was AR44 with level 60 characters, lvl 1-2 talents, level 50 weapons, an itto holding the bell with 2pc 4* glad lvl 4 (and nothing else) and a kazuha with the 3* defense sword so "kazuha can heal himself". And somehow this dude was exploring Sumeru meaning they cleared all content before this point by some insane levels of bruteforcing.
I know it's easy to blame players and the game (which i do) but i also blame genshin content creators for being generally awful and shallow clickbait. I dont think i ever learned anything fundamentally useful from a self proclaimed "theorycrafter" and some stuff outright made me dumber (they teached me "pseudo quadratic scaling" and diminishing returns wrong).
The problem with candace is that she competes with XQ for hydro aplication and yunjin for normal boosting and in 100% of scenarios you're better off using them instead. People say she will be good with ayato but as someone who actually uses him a lot, i cant think of any scenario where i would want normal atk boost over a 4* reaction enablers. I also dont understand why they nerfed her combo when that scales with atk and the rest of her kit scales with hp.
Her real niche is being the FIRST 4* HYDRO SINCE RELEASE so if you're a new player you can maybe play someone who isnt barbara. I actually expect her best partner to be zhongli who attacks very fast so you can actually use him as an enabler.

I don't understand why they keep making characters like candace and yunjin who scale completely off defense or hp or whatever, but their normal attacks still use atk. It's such a waste of good animations that you'll literally never see.
Also I don't think attacks per second really matters in this instance because of how internal cooldown works. With some exceptions like ganyu/hu tao's charged attacks, xl's pyronado, you can only apply an element every 2.5 seconds. You can test this now with zhongli/xl/chongyun. Use pyronado to apply constant pyro, then chongyun's skill to give zhongli a cryo infusion. Your normal attacks will only melt every 2.5 seconds. I don't think there's anything special about candace's hydro infusion that will change this.
Note that skill/burst/normals have different internal cooldowns.
I doubt candace will replace yunjin on yoimiya teams. I can't remember how exactly the calculation works, but there's some multiplicative fuckery going on with yoimiya's normal attack*skill*shimenawa's*yunjin's burst which makes yoimiya do ridiculous damage. Pair this with double geo for +15% damage and yunjin's 60 cost burst, and you have perfect synergy. Candace will doubtless require a second hydro or a ridiculous amount of ER to feed her 80 cost burst.

The person might have started playing recently and just blitzed through the content. Though I still don't get how you have trouble with the peacock boss if you managed to clear all the previous content.
And even if Genshin content creators are garbage, it has to be your first video game ever to not under more rare = better, higher level = better, all equipment slots full = good.
(I still haven't finished Sumeru's main quest and only did a cursory sweep of the map. Too bad most of Sumeru NPCs don't do much for me, so I'll probably end up trying my 50/50 luck on Kokomi.)

Because those are 4*s supports and they really dont want them as viable field dps, at least not for free (noele needs burst and c6). Look at how jean and qiqi healing scale with atk so you can build them as normal dps while no 4* works like that.
Are you not aware of the 3 hit rule? Default ICD works either every 2.5 seconds OR every 3 hits, which is why Xinqiu is a good enabler (every sword counts as a different hit). Do you think Yoimiya only applies pyro once in her whole 7 hit combo chain? Go normal attack with Ayaka against a hydro herald and you proc freeze every 1-4-7 hits, its that simple.
Wrong formula. Yun jin's boost is a flat bonus that is multiplied by her dmg bonus and crit dmg, it's not multiplied by her skill. Shimenawa also isnt multiplicative by itself, it adds to the final dmg bonus. Yoi doesnt do anything with yunjin that others cant, she gets more benefit from all the dmg bonus she gets from rust or TP + shimenawa.
Except she has 60 cost burst? Like i said on the previous page? Yeah she has issues but lets not make up new ones. Give her a fav spear and it should be enough to burst off cd. What i dont get is that candace will probably release with Nilou or Cyno and neither can use her. Nilou's infused slashes actually count as skill dmg so candace buff is even more worthless for her.
They had ayato, kazuha and itto so they probably been playing for a while (slowly) and decided to rush through sumeru. I didnt mention ayato cause he was the only unit with somewhat logical investment (1/6/6 talents, level 70 HoD, level 16 2pc glad 2pc berzerk artifacts) and when i asked how, they said their sister helped him gear ayato and bennet. I guess it's only ayato and bennet carrying the account cause everyone else was half naked and useless.
I get what you mean but the game difficulty curve spikes hard on around level 5+ (reminder that they nerfed most bosses last patch before WL7) when you cant just yolo anymore and have to use your brain to make good comps and invest in talents+gear.
That's kind of issue with casuals and CCs, they undervalue how fundamentally difficult and important gear management in this game. It takes a lot of "game sense" to scroll between dozens of artifact pages and realize which ones are better and worth leveling but i guess most casuals dont have patience for that. At that point you're better off not raising your world level.

have you ever gone on the co-op page and just looked through people's characters? there are a ton of people who know nothing about how artifacts work and do shit like putting hp sands or defense circlets on diluc, it's part of the reason they added that artifact reference thing a while back.
your average player does not interact with the game outside of playing it on their phone occasionally. the people who actually watch genshin content creators are a very small minority, no one is going to watch some video of a math nerd who takes 20 minutes to tell you that you can get 2% more damage if you use some niche artifact setup
you were very likely playing with some 10 year old kid
