Yeah so I finished everything the game's got for me so far barring the Aevernium/Aetherium/whatever you call it event. I'm also apparently done with almost every possible freebie quest aside from a few puzzle ones. I have managed to beat the content by basically just doing Fire MC+Dan+Bailu/HuoHuo+Support Buffer/Debuffer.

I've been sick for a week but couldn't sleep my shit off so I've wound up grinding the game.

I came in on the huohuo banner being like, the thing I was heavily recommended to roll on despite me pulling 2 bailu almost within my first evening. I was told to grab healers for MoC. I was recommended, as a newbie, to roll on the Argenti banner because I am severely lacking in DPS units. . . well I was until I rolled Himiko. I kinda didn't have much that could deal with big targets aside from Dan. Right now the plan is to get the main team with fire MC/dan/hanya/huohuo built up. Susheng will be my B team ST DPS. Serval's on the backburner rn but I was told that she's excellent when at E4, but serviceable for now. I was also told that she's middling, but only better than Herta/Arlen.

Right now, I'm enjoying a Hanya/Tingyun centric team building style that's probably gonna wind up with me using Dan/Susheng as hyper-carries. IDK if Himiko/Serval can do that as well, but I'll prob find out sometime soon.

the one thing I find funny is how I got the Dan eidolons from the standard banner rolls. He's really carried me.



Ah yeah, Lynx at e5. I'm probably never gonna use her unless I really need a second healer that can cleanse debuffs. I'm looking forward to trying to just building teams around Hanya and the other buffbots. Himiko/Fire MC/Asta was fun but needed ST damage.


I'm strictly f2p for this, right now. If I get interested enough maybe I'd consider the occassional battlepass. I kinda wish the game had a skip dialogue option because there's exposition everywhere.
 
Jesus fuck they need a way to let you skip certain Archon quests. ( Or at least let you just jump ahead to the start of major chapters). I'm in that dumbass cave one since I left for a while and every time I play it I just don't want to continue at all.

I completely understand. Sometimes they drag on for way too long. Even when the story is good I find myself desprately trying to speed through the dialog just to make progress.
 
After months I have finally made 100% in each Sumeru part and that's good, because I'm never coming back to this desert in a million fucking years. Unless there is new event, major character quest or Mihoyo creates a 5 star character voiced by Sugita Tomokazu that needs certain materials. Exploration of a southern desert was a chore to do mainly due to the lack of teleports and mini map in underground. Normally I don't use these exploration guide, but I don't think I would do that on my own. Also Sumeru is the only region in which I had to use the culus detector to find the last 5 dendroculus. At least Fontaine underwater exploration is fun and they finally gave us a map.

I just don't care about Sumeru or the cave that is a preview to Sumeru. Just let me jump the story to Fontaine!

I can't image a new person picking this game up cause got damn there is so much crap to go through if you don't play monthly.

Can you not just like, glide over to Fontaine without doing the story quests first? I know you used to be able to get to Inazuma using ice.

You can get to Fontaine easily enough, but you can't do the Archon quests without completing those in the other regions as well as anything else that's gated behind said Archon quests.

The Chasm is way better to explore than the entire Sumeru desert.
I started playing Genshin in November of 2020 and that was one of my favourite Genshin periods. That and exploring Inazuma after nearly 6 months of break. I had one problem due to the fact that I didn't finish Yanfei quest or something, so I couldn't get all the anniversary rewards. Imagine someone who downloaded Genshin on 4.2, got Ayato and Mihoyo just tells that person to go fuck themselves, because they didn't do over 20 hours or more of story quests.

@Alexander Thaut There's rumors that Blade is returning for 1.6. He's a very decent DPS that's not difficult to build and use. The stream for 1.6 is this Friday, so we get confirmation on who's returning.

You can put your E5 Lynx to good use with him.

She's e6 now.

I uh, also have an e1 Yukong and Serval's LC. I'm probably gonna build pity for the upcoming limited banner. That's how it works right?

You're on guarantee after himeko, that means you should spend it on a character you 100% love or really need, not someone you might regret getting even at early pity. If you dont want argenti right now (he's erudition like her so i'd recommend a destruction next) then dont gamble on this and save it for someone else.

Everyone is always "building pity" until they get the banner 5* early and regret it lol, like i posted my getting argenti while roll for hanya. At least wait for the stream to see who comes next to decide, if blade really is on 1.6 he's great and works with huohuo too.
 
Every once in a while, I pop in this thread and forget that we also talk about Star Rail here, and get really confused for a few seconds.

Also I’m mildly amused still seeing people demanding Resin Cap increases, granted I’ve got like, 30 of those things that hive a partial refill. It’s been what, 4 years? We probably aren’t getting another raise.

I won't lie, I kinda want to keep going until e6 Hanya because waifu (mine's e5) but I think I could maybe wait.

ngl a Jiangliu would be really neat right about now. I'd probably be tempted to go for silverwolf but I think it's probably a better idea to just wait for the next limited banner.

I think Sushang's a ton of fun to use. It seems she just gets better with more eidolons down the line.

That's pretty much where I'm at. I've been playing since 1.1 and have plenty of resources saved up. I don't need more resin, I just want it to be easier to not waste any.

Maybe it will happen when more people starting to stop throwing money to MiHoYo.
 
Star rail got resin increase to 240 allowing only 1 daily login and even a banking system but Genshin is somehow 3+ years going and still doesnt have a button to reset expeditions. Star rail also got significant improvements overtime like the battle pass overlevel and 2.0 will have things like gold calyx finally giving mats and skipping the first half of MoC if you cleared it previously.

Mihoyo can do QoL and improvements but seemingly only on star rail. At least genshin is getting small improvements faster, probably because people saw them in Star Rail and realized they could raise their standards and ask for more.

I find the idea of "Maybe something good happens if people stops giving video game devs or corporate money" is hilariously naive and dumb.
Because apparently, for the last decade or even two decades I dare say, especially to any online games, you haven't paid attention. Game is losing more money and/or players, game doesn't suddenly "getting better" nor "there will be less inconvenience, grinding" to the game. When the game stops being profitable or "dead", they move on to another project or entire dev team just poof. More profit just means guarantee of new future contents.
It's unironically not about money, it's about whoever on top managing game design philosophy, balance, vision or whatever thinking about the state of the game is fine or not.

WoW didn't get more quality of life stuffs like dual spec, running dungeons "infinite" times for leveling of normal questing, more refined class not because they were losing players from Classic to Woltk did it? Old WoW was leveling and raiding, new WoW is just raiding. Also despite bunch of repeatable mistakes game design in later expansion, or so "losing players" to the point they stop publicly announce active players per month. Then they just can keep "Oh we sorry, we were wrong, we definitely listen to you guys feedback this time", just to repeat it again and again next expansion for last few years. Again, money actually doesn't mean shit in entire grand scheme of game design.

Warframe, unironically did the same thing when I was still playing, how devs said they wouldn't increasing the grind. Meanwhile, they would just make another new kind or method of more multiple process grinding in order to farm the things you want. At least, Genshin with new characters or weapons, the method of grinding is still the same. You don't jump through multiple loops of new hurdles to grind materials. Also, that game is still requires you buying a character slot, a weapon slot before you can own/use that character-weapon. Not to mention crafting timers, imagine waiting for like 3 days before even able to use a character, after you spend maybe like hours of rng grind to craft the character. But it's fine for fandom/players because well the game have buying premium currency sale off bonus for as random daily login rewards anyway and also trading between players.

Don't take this post as in I'm sucking corporate dick or especially in this case, MHY dick. No, I don't if you actually have bothered read this thread. I'm just saying as long as I'm not the one designing the game, doesn't matter how much money I throw at the guy or not do that at all.
If you wanna see true dicksucking people, then go find the ones (on social media) praising MHY writing story being top tier and there shouldn't be a skip button because they find some random idiots don't understand lore.
 
New characters for Star Rail: big-tittied Sampo replacement, Sparkly Sparkly Boom Girl, and a faggot.

Whoever is in charge of naming characters, eat shit. I'd say wait for Jingliu rerun if you need a strong Ice character. If you need one desperately, get the faggot.

Edit: Livestream for Star Rail is ongoing. Apparently, Dr. Ratio will be free once 1.6 hits. Ruan Mei banner's decent with Xueyi/March 7th/Tingyun, Blade and Kafka are returning. Highlights page is live. Lots of good stuff.
