How's Genshin Impact nowadays?
Haven't touched my Genshin for months
The newer maps continue to be pretty fun to explore, the music remains great, the plot is still predictable and the developers continue to remain unsure as to how to address the game's mechanical issues without infuriating either the mobile players or the PC/Console players.

Finally got 6k on windtrace! The game really feels like victory or defeat is only a matter of map and how much the hunter wants to tryhard.

Like, one match i play on the kamisato house and it's just this eula running 24/7 and she climbs the roof and gets everyone in less than 1.5 minutes. The next match is also the kamisato house and i'm playing against a sucrose who doesnt know how to climb the roof (it has to be this specific spot) so i'm the only one left up there and i show myself but she cant climb so we stare at each other until the time runs out.

either way it's fun and i wish it was permanently avaiable for coop. It helps that the mode is so fast that i personally never felt frustrated. If you get captured earlier, you go do something else. If you fail to capture nobody then at least you get more experience for the next time.

btw btw, almost there, less than a week. Everything is going according to the the plan.

Still couldnt find a crit hat for zhongli and a BS for ganyu but what i have will have to do. Even if it's not abyss ready, it should be enough to explore enkanomiya from zero (i only went there for half an hour in my brother's world). It's been soooo long since i rolled, i want to fell the joy of trying out new characters again.
 
My last game of Windtrace to get 6k, got Hunter on Kamisato estate - seemed to be the only map I could get today - had one dipshit not even trying to hide, standing on the wall. I easily get up there and catch him, guy instantly calls me a hacker.

I’m just gonna assume he’s on mobile, and hasnt mastered the legendary art of “Look Up, Retard.” Fuck, it shows my PSN ID on the “Press to Confirm” screen.

Caught the other two easily because they were moving around - kinda hard to miss, honestly
 
They're nerfing the dark soul knights (husks) again and now they're... literally kill themselves by hitting shields?

How did these guys get nerfed so bad but the wolves got nothing? Really shows how the beta testers will freak if you ever dare to make zhongli unviable.
Wait, so the enemy the designed solely to deal with Shields, now are going to be weakened by Shields? Jesus Fuck, god forbid you have to learn the games incredibly generous I-Frames (like, I’ve managed it when I feel like I definitely shoulda been hit)
Nerf corrosion and that homing attack. no actually just nerf specters as whole because they mock me for being unable to fly.
Corrosion isn’t even that bad, cause again, easy dodging, but Spectres need a complete overhaul. Fuck, even if they just made them like Slimes and had Elements to react to built into them - we already have Spectres for most of them now as is, barring Electro. And the oft mentioned but likely still a balancing nightmare Dendro…

I'm happy cause I'm going for Zhongli & can be a bigger Shieldfag in peace. Because if I can't get Bennett, I'll be Unga Bunga in my own way.
Is Bennet really the Meta?
He's ironically considered the Pyro Archon in the fandom due to how meta he is.

Yes.

You have a char that is pyro, king of reactions, leaves a pyro field that heals, buffs damage and letting you do all sorts of funny shit from just overloading enemies to brainy stuff like creating two elemental absorption fields with Kazuha. It is as awesome as it sounds. In a pinch with a good 1H, Bennet can mDPS too

An attack buffer and healer field in a 4* package ? Yes please.

You are right, corrosion isn't quite the culprit, it is the wolves that bring them which made it insufferable. It gets worse when farming the husk and shell artifacts.

Specters are a form of spite made into game. Being element inert and in air, a body that persist until it explodes with a final fuck you effect after that. To complete the insult, there's even a daily made for eradicating those shits.

Sounds like standard Windtrace randoms. Whenever I feel like joining a group that plays Windtrace just for fun, it doesn't take very long for people to come to the realization of "Oh shit, they're on PC". I haven't done a comparison with render distances between different platforms but I know that having a decently sized monitor helps a lot when it comes to viewing movement of props/characters at a distance, not to mention the easily rotatable camera making wallhugging not very viable.

I find this funny because I mostly just throw Bennet into Abyss teams so Hu Tao can get 25% more ATK due to Resonance. Outside of that, I never use him. Or Zhongli. Or any other shielder, really, other than sometimes Diona.

Yeah I used to throw Zhongli on every comp, now I only use him for free geo resonance uptime
 
From what i hear online a lot people buy the battle pass+welking so yeah no way they're bumping resin gen so soon.
they won't touch resin gain, what they'll do is give you more fragmented and other stuff to get it (like the teapot).

I just wish they'd up the fucking limit so I wouldn't have to log in twice a day, but then I realized that's probably on purpose because I assume most people are lazy so only do it once a day, blow all their 160 resin in one go, then are done for the day - doesn't matter if they're capped or outright wasting resin this way (you generate 180 in 24h). probably the same people then wasting primos on refills, and then when they need primos they just buy more.

either way it's fun and i wish it was permanently avaiable for coop. It helps that the mode is so fast that i personally never felt frustrated. If you get captured earlier, you go do something else. If you fail to capture nobody then at least you get more experience for the next time.
if it becomes permanent it would also mean it would be tied to rewards you'd probably have to do every week, just nah.
I'm not sure which I dislike more, windtrace or the whalecheck shit from the event before (both are a drag and annoying). if they want multiplayer stuff do those fall guys minigames and other pve stuff, since it would also work on mobile just fine without having to nerf pc/console players.
 
Some slow beta news, they buffed yae attack by over 70 at level 90 and nerfed her hp/def and also increased her burst scaling. Her weapon passive skill dmg stack also increased duraiton to 16 seconds so more people can actually use it.

They also put the new character designs in the beta finally, click to enhance

PSA: JEAN STILL HAS HER ARMPITS OUT SO THE DEGENERATES CAN CHILL OUT (for now)

Rosaria and Mona I still don't like, Amber is a nothingburger, Jean's was already actually pretty good . It felt like formal attire she would wear to important events.
