Favourite characters, I feel like I'm too greedy for my favs. Although I'm probably liking Fontaine characters the most for now.
1) Lyney and Tighnari, shooting at range are much nicer for me now. I'm somewhat tired of "smashing click" game play and both have "cute" appearance.

2) Navia, Dehya and Beidou. Feminine claymore, tomboy & girly claymore and 100% cool tomboy claymore. Well those aren't exactly the only reasons. All of them for their personality, story and gameplay. Not using Beidou for a long time, but I love block - parry mechanic a whole lot. Dehya for obvious reason listed in number 1 above.
So why not Eula? Well for physical characters, I just happen to like Freminet (precious and sweet) and unironically Xinyan (more like feels bad, pity and her musician look).

3) War criminal Wanderer, I actually used to dislike this character a lot, because he (Scaramouche) reminds me a lot of an a-hole from FF 14. But I'm warming up to him a while after Sumeru, he's on the list of collecting in "near future", losing 50/50 to Dehya. That's fine, I'll get guaranteed Furina next patch. Maybe there is somewhere deep inside me can still tolerate for redeeming edgy and emo characters.

4) For archons, Nahida and Zhongli are great, then Venti and Furina, finally much much much lower is Raiden. I don't hate Raiden, Miyuki Sawashiro can't even make me like her enough. I mean she's okay and I even have her at Lv90, it's that I'd prefer to have Yae Miko as sub dps. MHY doesn't want me to have 5* catalyst dps unit.

5) Notable mention: Chevy, Fischl and Kaeya. Guess what they have in common with Beidou? Though I like Chevy the most, I still need constellations for all of them though. They stay in my backlog of things need to be complete for now.
Chiori is neat for me, her dolls are adorable.

I don't like elemental burst reliant on field characters, so Cyno and Itto have that big issue for me. Though I like them both in appearance and personality. Genki upbeat personality like Itto is great, the same with Yoimiya.
 
I'm just hoping that Level 100 isn't locked behind yet another Ascension
But your character gets buff to his main stat at ascensions only. For example, if character has crit%, it caps at 19.2% at 80/90. But another ascension will give you another 4.8%. It's not like game-defining, but its nice to have.
 
Super early into Genshin I was a Ning main. She was my first crown. Had a half decent artifact set on her, learned to animation cancel and she had really good burst potential.

Then I became a Ganyu main. Got that Amos bow, a cracked Wanderer's set and she was doing 50k non-crit charged shots. I eventually forced myself to stop using her because she trivialized the game. (I even ended up giving her Yelan's bow for even more crit damage)

When Sumaru hit I became a Nahida main with her, Raiden Shogun, Xingqiu, flex slot

Then before I quit I was going full Geo supremacy with triple crowned Noelle (With Redhorn), Albedo (Best boy), Gorou and Yun Jin
 
I like how Klee loves aloha snackbar
time for a classic

I'm entirely unsure if it's the localization being far more literal or if Genshin's writing team just decided "Hey, you know all of this Wuxia/Xianxia stuff that's almost impossible to tell apart? Let's not do that whenever possible" but the story and its delivery is indeed less engaging than Genshin's. It also doesn't help that the game sometimes just doesn't continue after part of the conversation and the only option is force quitting which has happened twice so far. I spent more time roaming around stabbing things than following the Plot and only advanced it far enough to unlock the activity to burn the resin equivalent, after which I went back to exploring the map, solving puzzles and stabbing things to death.
feels like it gets toned down later on, I'm at the break where you have to grind and before that it was just finding some dude and the introduction of the villains (which is not really much worse than genshin in that regard).

all in all I have to admit I had ______fun____, going full anemo kequing/xiao in one char is nice.

is a road paved with not putting up with 300 more hours of Paimon's bullshit.
english dub?
tbh I don't really get the complaints, actual narrated quest content after the first big story patches is usually pretty slim these days, and even then it's what, 2-3 hours of a 6 week patch? events are mostly about other characters with some paimon for comedic relief.

sadly, i wasn't able to get the dodoco tales catalyst.

I played from release to just before Inazuma release before I got burned out, and came back a few times over the years, but I can never really get back into it. I did manage to get through the Sumeru release quest at which point I stopped again. While the story does have great beats, I just couldn't put up with the unskippable nothing or pure exposition conversations, followed by Paimon repeating the entire conversation to me, but in terms understandable by retards.
 
Was not expecting a Genshin Impact thread with kiwibros

Whats your guys' favourite characters? Big fan of Ayato and Itto myself
i started out in love with anemo traveller untili final could bear to live without lumine in my party. that tornado is so cathartic for me

i was a razor fischl main for most mondstat, liyue and inazuma.. i really thought it wouldnt work in inazuma, but razors immune to electro during his burst so it got a little cheesy.
i fell in love with ninguang but i havent been able to build a decent team i like around her.

i built up ayaka and eula, i like both but not enough to commit to it.

nahida and fischl and razor and kokomi carried me through alot of sumeru.
that kokomi pull is one of the best thing that ever happen to me. im a casual and i suck at healing so kokomi really freed me fromthe prison of learning how to heal properly.
im finally learning how to use health via lyneys kit.
love love love lyney.

also adore mona, furina, venti.

Ayaka has a special place in my heart since she was my first limited but i do love her design and gameplay.

Kitwise Neuvilete is fun as fuck and i like sniping with Ganyu and tighnari but i dont like them much.

Overall favourite character is definitely Kazuha. Top tier design, lovable personality, amazing strong kit and fun for exploring. It's the only 5* character i have C2 and regret nothing. I like ayato too even tho i barely use him anymore.

BTW WuWa devs gave 10 free rolls as apology yesterday which is just enough to clear the full beginner banner with freebies. I got jinxian who's apparently a the parry/tank girl bad for endgame? oh well. They'll also be letting players skip prologue and give a free standard 5* selector day 26 so that's nice but it's clear the devs are fucking desperate.

Game was absolutely rushed and wasnt ready for release, but anything after would be worse. People forget that the next months will get a combo of Elden ring DLC -> ZZZ release + Firefly in HSR -> 4.8 or 5.0 in genshin. This game would not survive if it released near Natlan, but i dont know if it's going to survive at this rate. China is mocking the fuck out of it (People are telling you to run genshin in the background to optimize WuWa lol) and even the subreddit is bashing it, only the genshin hater youtubers are defending it.

btw here are the genshin codes from today's livestream

do u like wet socks
 
I'm at the break where you have to grind and before that it was just finding some dude and the introduction of the villains (which is not really much worse than genshin in that regard).
I've just passed that part and unlocked dailies/world bosses/battlepass, but during that villain introduction I almost picked the "Shut up, we're fighting now" option. I really want to see how they've implemented co-op but nobody in my group is close to unlocking co-op yet.

This is a really good point and something that I hadn't considered though compared to what others have been reporting I've barely noticed any bugs, glitches or performance issues. As far as release timing goes they truly were between a rock and a hard place.
 
I started WuWa yesterday. Managed to play for a couple of hours. Did have some issues in the very beginning (high ping, game was freezing, long load times), but after that, no issues. It's a bit janky, but not unplayable. The story is your standard "I came from somewhere else but I don't remember. I got some powers, but don't know how I got them. Some people found me so I guess I'll hang with them, and I'm expected somewhere..." That's as far as I got before I went to bed. I like that you can scale things really fast, so it makes exploring faster.
I like the dodging and parrying (I don't remember if you could do that on Genshin). Characters aren't very impressive, but I've seen worse.

It's enjoyable, but obviously not a Genshin killer. Let's see how it does.
 
I really want to see how they've implemented co-op but nobody in my group is close to unlocking co-op yet.
You can't progress quests or collect chests, just like Genshin, but you can go beat up overworld pokemon and every player gets their own drops, and you can also fight the overworld bosses together, and every player once again gets their own drop of the pokemon. The cool thing is, it multiplies your chances for farming echoes, because you get three people, you clean out the first player's world for drops, then move on to the second, then the third. If you have infinite friends, you can technically farm infinite echoes.
 
WuWa echo system is fun at first but i can see it becoming unsufferable if you want to tryhard into endgame.

On one hand, it's fun as fuck to beat mons and collect them both as gears and combat spells. It doesnt cost resin either so you waste nothing. It's also the ONLY truly original mechanic and could've made a singleplayer game on it's own.

On the other hand, this a hyper rng gear system with no cost beyond your patience and daily respawns. In genshin you get resin for nine 5* artifacts after five domain clears, but here you can potentially spend your entire day killing mobs until extinction. The game has normal attack, charge atk, skill and ultimate bonus dmg as substats which is 3 more than genshin so getting the stuff you want is even harder.

Also, you need to make sure the monsters are part of the same set and add together for the 2 or 5 point set bonus , but you also want a SPECIFIC monster to complement that character kit. Imagine if this was genshin and you're gearing Xiao and he NEEDS the wind samachu cast to group up enemies so you must exterminate wind samachus everyday until you hope to: drop it -> it's 5* -> right main stat -> good substats -> good rolls. Oh, and if a new best in slot monster releases, do it again.

And i'll say genshin system is fucking terrible too but unless you want to tryhard abyss you can get a decent set once and ignore it. In WuWa you'll get echos by exploring so casual players cant pretend it's not there. Time will tell.
 
So I tried WuWa. Got the healer child from my beginner draws and am hopefully close to somewhere where I can just say fuck the story I'm going exploring.

I will say I really like the music so far
 
I've already listed my favorites, but special mention goes to Fischl, I don't use her in any team because I only have room for one archer and that's Ganyu and her long range frag grenade launcher, but Fischl's high school theater kid delusions are amazing to experience. I hope she returns for the summer event in 4.8
