update on the new worldlevel, apparently it's added at AR 58, so no grinding to 60 first (still gonna take a while, iirc after 55 it slows down hard).

for the new artifact-thingie there seem to be two. seems you can finally break them down into exp (knowing myhomo you still can't do it from the reward screen), or chunks to "buy" artifacts which works kinda like the mystery box with more options. the chunk thing is the one from the BP, so there is a f2p option.
there's still RNG - of course - and nothing's final yet, but it seems we'll have more control what the artifact might look like. really curious what the final number gonna look like so you can calculate it better.

also the next stream already go announced, maybe to generate more hype (or to not get overshadowed by hoyofes):
 
A lot of the natlan character designs seem kinda meh to me, lacking in the solid inspired stuff most playable characters have going on IMO.

I liked the seasonal region, but the plot was over a little too fast and the area's a tiny bit too small/lacking in stuff since I finished everything in in like 2 or 3 days coming out of being sick as hell. There's still like 30 something days left of it too IIRC though i might be remembering wrong. Kinda upset the little digimon looking durin splinter/reincarnation wasn't given as an item like other event stuff like that has been in the past.

Also hoping that this theme comes back if they do follow up on the implied future dragonspine plot stuff with the actual OG Durin reviving as this seems to be his theme now? Really fitting for an undead/undying nightmare abomination that just wanted to be friends with people but is literally physically cursed in a way that just corrodes and rots everything within the dragon's general vicinity.
Unlike Elynas, who doesn't want to come back to life due to small creatures that grew out of his corpse living inside the caves it's innards became, Durin seems to be very much on a path to coming back. We'll probably see more of him soon, not just the clone of him created in the storybook pocket dimension country.
 
Yelan hates me, I've lost the 50/50 for her 3 times.
losing that hard on the current banner sucks even more with the 4* selection. was pondering to grab emilie for the waifu collection, but I rather not waste possibly 80+ rolls on 4* I C6'd years ago. re-run it is, and lets me save for wrio.
doubt burning will be the big gimmick in 5.0, and if it is pyro archon will probably surpass any other char just like the archons before.

in the meantime wuwa 1.2 next week, plus free 5* (ofc it's not the waifu, but I take it anyway)
 
honkai star rail is being nice-ish to me. got yunli off a 50/50 and aiming for her LC.

Firefly and Acheron teams seem to be able to slap through all content. I just need a Kafka and a better shielder. (Already have Ruan Mei)
 
Hoping to her the LC just for Clara since it's her new BiS and I have her at E4. I ended up getting Jade so I am going to wait until Aventurine and Firefly roll back around before I start going for characters again.

Not on one banner, on all her reruns, I don't have Yelan.
 
I had my pulls ruined by Dehya and I don't have much in the way of rewards from the summer event. Probably just me but I can't bring myself to play it. I get that they probably stopped putting lore in the events but that just made it less fun for me. I miss the Golden Apple Archipelago.

I think it's more of slow or bad element application, but with specific reaction status, character does more damage with their high multiplier from what I've seen. Natlan has whatever spirit gauge thing instead of Fontaine with health Depending on how pyro Archon and maybe dragon sovereign work, I may get Emile down the line. I'm still waiting on actual 5* geo girl kit.
It's cool that Wuwa somewhat fast with QoL updates thing comparing to Genshin.... waiting on special occasion huge update.

I think it's more or less none of the events stay in game, putting major lore in there kinda hurts story telling (players experience) in long run. Any summer events and a bit of Windblume now serve as slow expansion to Herxenzirkel instead. Also, the whole Skirk thinng in Fontaine, rather than be it's own filler patch story quest. If not those events, then it'll be some bit of more character development for 4* characters since they don't have specific 5* character story.
Then again, I limit myself maybe like 1 or 2 hours at most for these exploration and filler patches now. Trying to complete as much as I can during weekends burn or bore me out faster.
 
Nah, there is still lore in the summer events at least. The game is pretty much spelling out that Durin, who's currently embedded in Dragonspine will be returning at some point and is starting to go into details about the role of the Traveller and how they are not the real hero of the story, which is probably their sibling, they are just the witness.

Technically that already was covered.

Most of the areas we travelled to have the siblings deeds 500 years ago before whatever incident happened that led them to joining the abyss order affecting the area in some manner entire reason your sibling is doing what they are now is. The reason of several stories of the "return" of some "prophecised golden haired hero" is because your sibling already helped out a number of the countries post cataclysm. They already supposedly reached the "end" of their journey and we've been more or less picking up the pieces of shit that either went wrong or returned in terms of problems. The guy we keep running into in various intermission-ish quests that are technically main story quests but function like side stories was the sibling's travel partner. Something clearly went wrong and there's more to this than immediately obvious.

The biggest ones that pissed me off for being limited was the meteor one early on that was the intro for scaramouche. That and like I think the first or second dragonspine event having the side story that's specifically the final bits to the saga of the kid at the base camp who's dad went missing while exploring the mountain. There's vague possible death implications but the death thing also doesn't line up because there's literally nothing proving the guy died in the area he talks about sliding down to in the letter you find. The sidequest thing from that event was literally part 2 of a perma world quest because they end up FINDING his dad and then finding out he's got amnesia due to being hit on the fucking head and losing consciousness when he slid down that rocky slope. You aren't gonna find that out otherwise (unless they did add the quest in as it's own thing and I don't know because I played the game when it was initially in the event)

Could be worse. Could be the quests locked behind complete RNG commisions. SO many of those I never finished or even started cause I got fucked so there's those fontaine quests I'll never be able to do because the sumeru quests for one guy never loaded in. Like sure that's technically better cause it's not limited and permanently affects the world in a similar way but it's not good because you barely ever have them load in.

Gotta hammer the point home for the retards that can't read, keep begging for the skip button then ask dumb questions like "Why is Scaramouche known as Hat Guy now?"

Good news, they fixed that in like 4.3 or 4.4, commissions that grant achievements and unlock follow up quests are now prioritized, so they'll turn up consistently. After that patch I got all the missing Sumeru ones in a couple of weeks.

The sumeru ones tied to the fontaine quests still never showed up for me, just repeats of various phases of ones I already completed in sumeru, Save one I thought I did complete but found out it was just looping the first 2 parts of the stock market guy despite me making the right decisions and it randomly gave me the final quest in that chain like a week ago).

It will be a miracle if people bother with Natlan commisions as a whole with the new encounter point stocking system, the data might force them to just change how commisions work. I know I will just be looping and accepting the achivement only ones.

know that feel, in cases like this I just save hard, at one time I was not pulling once for 6 months during inazuma. with a re-run now she won't be on the inevitable liyue chronicled wish tho. but with the 4* on the banner right now it makes dumping your waifu-funds even more painful.

iirc mualani is hydro, might work as alternative (but I might remember it wrong, haven't really looked at the leaked kits).

fwiw there is usually only one achievement commission, these days I just let it cycle for a few weeks and check the wiki if I don't have the achievement by now. if you limit commissions to a single region it's doable in a somewhat reasonable timeframe.
mihoyo already nerfed gains from events and completely removed the bounty one from giving encounter points, they probably gonna fuck with it even harder than be sensible and make it less RNG dependent.

there's cope rumors 1.3 is gonna be bigger, 1.2 is considered more of a filler since going up against genshin 5.0 would be foolish. shorekeeper has already been teased and from the teaser she looks like euler's grown up sister. that resonate mark placement doe...

there's also some discussion/hope that kuro is going more towards PGR which is more generous (I mean we already got a 5* selector, 5* weapon box and an upcoming free one) and less RNG with progression. if they introduce timesink for BIS echoes (=artifacts) PGR apparently has it would crap all over genshin.

and there's still the big waifu on the horizon people have been saving for, for non-wuwa players this is the only interaction so far (besides some appearances in trailers), it simply hits different than genshin:

Unless they completly gut chest encounter point gains or cap the stock even doing minimal 5.0 content would way overclick it before even taking into account .1 and .2 map back to back after.
 
I pulled Yunli out of needing more physical DPS characters since I've never managed to lose a 50/50 to Clara. Needless to say if it wasn't obvious that MoC/PF cater to new units then me throwing a Lv70 Yunli with so-so relics on one side and having the easiest Pure Fiction of my life definitely cemented that. I did kinda want Jiaoqiu but I can grab him later if he ends up being better than my current Acheron team setup.
