i was rolling on Ganyu, and my pity 5 star was fucking Diluc. I don't want him... Then I didn't get enough wishes for 2nd pity.
and I got 5 Noelles, 3 of chinese water boy, and 2 of chinese fire girl... Sorry I don't remember their names, I'm not a racist. I didn't get a single not featured character.

You say "It's normal", but I think that the problem is that "It's normal".
I see people who get featured 5 star on the 9th pull, but I can't entrust my body and mind wholly to the chance and luck. i'm unlucky (:_(

sorry for TMI, i'm not sure if it is, just rate is very low. and there's no other option.
Diluc or Venti are probably the only characters which are upgrades for me. He's super broken and you can probably get Ganyu from daily gems if you're that close.

The main issue I have is Mora, you need millions of it per character among other things and even with buying the Battle Pass you get almost none at late game.

Also bounties give me a migraine when I tried to do them because of the color scheme of the markers, and the game tries to force you to do bounties for the portable waypoint.
that would mean the next time pity triggers - which can be anywhere from the next 1-90 rolls, most people start hitting pity in 75-80 tho - you'll definitely get the featured 5* on the limited banner. can be this one, can be the next one when you roll on that, whatever. means you got these options:
- keep rolling with what you have and hope to get lucky, slowly working towards the pity, then stop when the banner ends.
- buy more primos goy gweilo
- save primos till the banner runs again at some point (can be in 6 months, can be in a year, who knows. that's where FOMO comes in; otoh you should have plenty of primos at that point)
- save the pity till a banner shows up you want to definitely get instead, reset the pity and hope you have another potential 180 rolls ready when the next 5* you want shows up.

if you don't spend any money the amount of primos you can get is limited and can be calculated pretty easy (till a new area or event starts which usually gives out primos). unless your budget is endless it's all about working around the RNG and knowing when to roll on what, then luck doesn't really become an issue (unless you want a specific 4*, then you either need the patience of a saint or the mercy of a god).

>5 Noelles, 3 of chinese water boy, and 2 of chinese fire girl.
good chars actually, lot of people were assuming since they buffed ganyu up to 5* because retards couldn't stop creaming themselves over her the rate ups would be shit. xianling (chinese fire girl) is a good support or dps if you don't have another pyro (well, now with diluc you can run both for the 25% atk buff), xingqiu is one of the best water supports (not that there's much choice between water chars with two being 5* and one being healer), noelle is great is too, her c6 can hit like a truck while almost impossible to kill and she's easy enough to build that you don't need to farm artifacts for weeks (you should have plenty of DEF trash since the RNG is skewed towards DEF/HP).

all in all you still got good rolls (and there were people spending several thousand bucks on getting diluc, so there's that).
wanna know my last 40 rolls on the standard banner? 5* greatsword from hitting pity that's crap, meaning it will collect dust in my inventory forever, another bennett (c2, so kinda pointless), another sucrose (meh when you got venti), another 4* greatsword that's also pretty meh so it can collect dust together with the 5*. I know standard doesn't mean anything since the pool includes everything, but still. game could've at least given me chongyun or xinyan to complement those weapons, but nope.

it's just what it is, that's why I don't really bother rolling on anything usually. would love to have ganyu because ice/design/va, but spent all my saved primos on another banner and doubt I'll get lucky before it disappears. means I can save again because none of the new chars interest me really. rosaria is prolly gonna become another 5* now that they've seen how hard people whale for waifus, xiao could be fun but hits too soon, who knows if and when the crane will ever become a char (and again danger of getting the 5* treatment), dendro loli looks interesting because dendro, but no release date either (probably inazuma, so 1.6 at best which is still months out).

TLDR: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Skyward Greatsword and Wolf's Gravestone are both great. The crane is supposed to be Shenli which is a 5* Cryo Claymore character.

the 5* was skyware pride, but don't really have a use for it, even with the higher base attack it doesn't make up for losing the secondary stat, and I can't be arsed to shuffle all my artifacts around. the other was the bell, which I have even less use for.

in general I prefer to get chars or constellations, since that gives me more versatility instead of higher numbers and more options when the game gets boring.

Also bounties give me a migraine when I tried to do them because of the color scheme of the markers, and the game tries to force you to do bounties for the portable waypoint.

enjoy doing those forever, long after you have your reputation maxed, because it's the best non-resin source for mora (30k per highest bounty).
tbh mora is the least of my issues, maybe I farmed to hard during leveling. otoh I hardly farmed artifacts because fuck that RNG shit and currently don't level any chars because 2 blue 2 green drops from a boss for 40 resin on wl7 is just insulting. slowly grinding to wl8 so can get at least a yellow artifact consistently out of it.
 
Cranked into wl5 now. The rng bullshit is seriously showing here. Thank god they levelgate wl6 because I've been told the loot drop rate by then is a fucking scam.

In other news, the new trailer for Ver 1.3 is up. My socials are flooding with hype for Xiao lol

There's gonna be bountiful events in time for Chinese New Year so here are some highlights:

A whole lot of new quests, including Xiao's character story quest.
a.png

Defense game. Oh no, it's one of those kinds.
b.png c.png
d.png

Adult geovishap, and I thought those baby geovishaps are a fucking pain to finish.
e.png

Free characters(?!) I'm hoping this isn't trial character bs. I'm eyeing for c3 Chongyun or c4 Ning if it isn't.

boss loot? that's gonna be shit till wl8. but hey you get a yellow artifact! their genius fix for 1.3? transformation. when the droprate is the real problem. jfc...
domains are set by their own level, random artifact drops were always shit, other drops can be farmed pretty easily since they don't cost resin. but you want to up wl anyway since it still increases the chance and loot from leylines, however tiny.

Free characters(?!) I'm hoping this isn't trial character bs. I'm eyeing for c3 Chongyun or c4 Ning if it isn't.

according to fucking reddit it's free choice of one of them, nothing else needed, like boarbara. torn between ning (for geo deeps), chong as second cryo or xin as second pyro (and tomboy rocker antics).

Defense game. Oh no, it's one of those kinds.

Adult geovishap, and I thought those baby geovishaps are a fucking pain to finish.

I hope those have matchmaking, it was was fucking retarded that they disabled it on the hypostasis event when it was designed for whales or how lucky you got with artifact drops.

oh, and kekqueen "rerun" after the xiao banner, in case you want her.

also
>dub
 
xin as second pyro (and tomboy rocker antics)
She's kinda shit, especially without any constellations. Was excited to get her myself but she's like a claymore version of Amber in terms of usefulness.

Also her voice actor doesn't suit her at all.

I don't do abyss tho, it's mainly for fun and the 25% buff (so I could switch some chars around to level friendship). but yeah, priority is a bit lower. chong and ning would be more useful, ning alone for the minimap radar, which will be a perk for the rest of the game (unless migoyo goes "lul. nerfed, new shit is not ore").

which dub? don't remember nip being that bad. and then you mostly hear only grunts anyway.

I ended up rolling her like every time I got a character as the roll result so maybe thats why mine's busted despite being brutally underlevelled for my world level. I agree though on the english voice thing. It's funny as hell to me that they for some reason chose to give an edgy punk asian themed character the voice of a cheerful chain smoking texas country singer. What's even weirder is how she sounds a bit more like what you'd expect a character that looks like that to sound when she's just grunting. It kinda makes me wonder if that out of fucking nowhere voice direction choice came in like midway through recording the lines for the character in a manner similar to how Charles Martinet's Mario was initially going to be somewhat like lou albanos before he got the idea to "bing bing yahoo pizza mama mia" thus altering the timeline forever.

English. I can't stand Japanese school of voice acting and Chinese voiceover is probably same shit with slightly different voices.
The other guy already described the issues with her, but I wanna add that the actress is actually pretty good, just not a fitting choice.

and in return I can't stand english dubs where a 40yo tries to speak like a japanese schoolgirl (which they seem to do everywhere, even when the original isn't even doing it).
mate who plays in chinese say he prefers it to nip, although to me chinese sounds like slurred japanese from someone with a heavy cold. apparently hu tao is also better in chinese according to some hufags.
 
Is there an actual lolcow thread for genshin? I feel like I need to be kiwipilled on Tectone and Jinx. I have heard Jinx was laughed out of the Monster Hunter community because his math was shit and he got out autismed by other people. And tectone just seems like the embodiment of whale cope.
>literally who???
Pretty big genshin Youtubers/streamers
 
I really dislike Jinx and Tuna. They think they're god's gift to whatever game they spend their time on but they're dogshit at the game. They focus so hard on austismo level min-maxing when no sane person would be able to get anywhere close to the mechanics required. As for Tectone, him and pretty much every other gacha youtuber go all in on shit takes and clickbaiting to get the retards that play gachas to click.
 
On the recent topic of streamer drama, I don't even know who the fuck these people are! I literally just play the game for the fun gameplay, funny characters and nice lore. fuck eceleb grifters lmao.

It's still astonishing to me how the gacha shit in this game is secondary and you can pretty much play the game without ever paying. It's barely a grind till you get to the higher levels, and even then, gachaing money away isn't gonna give you faster progress it's literally all about the character rolls. The fact a game like this can even exist is fucking incredible, the people that made this clearly know whats up in terms of how to handle micro-transaction shit.

Kinda wish they put violetgrass in more places because thats literally the only crafting material I can barely ever seem to find any areas where there's just bunches of them. I have 2 characters that need it to level up and I just have to wait for the ones I know the locations of and marked to respawn every few days or so. Not really any microtransactions tied to it as far as I'm aware, just poor item placement.
 
Pretty fun to play once or twice a week. (Can get a lot done suprisingly)
But man those gacha rates are as shit as FGO, however getting and saving enough to do 10 pulls isn't too bad.

I've been cruising through easily with Lisa, Diluc,fischl and barbara. Enjoy getting shocked and crisped you goblin fucks.

Overall its alright. A 5.5/10 in my book. Needs work with load times and lag.
And I'm all for difficulty but fuck some trials asking you to beat enemies in a short time is a pain.

If you aren't using a map for item locations, I would really recommend it. You can also buy a few from the pharmacy in Liyue every few days as well. I think there are something like 40-70 around at a time on the map.

get on pc nigger
The time you spend exploring the 3 regions will be the funnest part of the game. After that its just a late-game grind to 36-star the abyss.

If youre only limitted by game mechanics and not money, then you can get an additional 300 resin a day which is a huge boost to progression. Thats nearly 3x the amount of progression an f2p player is doing. No sane f2p player spends their primos on resin refreshes.

it's nothing new really, the model is years old but usually limited to mobile. just that no one tried to pull it with "proper" game so far, which is funny considering how that shit on mobile gets analyzed and engineered for max profits. there are probably quite a few behavioral psychologists on the payroll.

the other thing is since it's "weebshit" they can get away with it. if EA or anyone else from over here would've tried it they'd probably be crucified - but would've fucked it up most likely anyway by being too greedy/inept/pozzed, so the point is moot really. it's gonna be fun to watch the trainwrecks trying to replicate that success, the last time they had such dollar sign pupils was during WoW's heyday.

burn at least your resin and do the commissions each day, you'll need it at some point.

wouldn't even call it grind, once you clear the maps it's waiting till the next patch while burning resin and doing commissions, something you can knock out in 20 minutes even with a shit team. at worst a chore.

No sane f2p player spends their primos on resin refreshes.

no one outside retarded streamers getting fed by paypigs would spend resin on that, all it gives is slightly faster progression to unlock slightly better droprates with better quality, that's it. there's zero reason besides some utterly dumb "higha numba fasta" notion, especially considered the cost.

Paypigs/dolphins/Whales arent the majority but they definitely exist. More resin a day means you get your characters and weapons maxxed out faster, and more artifact rolls. Youre literally paying to progress your characters at a faster rate than f2p players.

yes, but those maxxed out chars don't do anything. the only goal is full clear abyss each cycle for the extra primos, and if you're a paypig already that's hardly a big difference. the value simply isn't there, especially with the diminishing returns, unless your budget is unlimited or you're very retarded with money.
 
If anyone is planning on rolling for Xiao based on his trial I would recommend waiting until there's more player feedback floating around about him.

He was super stacked in the trial, jade spear equipped and ideal artifact (2 set VV and 2 set glad, anemo cup) with an almost perfect stat spread. Mihoyo also posted that they fuck with energy recharge in trials so people can see the bursts better so in all honesty if you aren't whaling and such I wouldn't judge him until he gets more live testing particularly since no current 4 star lances are great for him.

I mean hes still better than any 4star dps. Roll for the characters not the numbers. Numbers can just be powercreeped easily.
I agree that trials are a little dishonest though. Especially with the fucking 5 star weapon.
Edit: not saying they shouldnt buff him if hes actually underpowered btw. But I think hes at the very worst slightly worse than Diluc.
