Genshin Impact

[ZMOT]

I don't have Klee so I cant confirm but I think her attacks "act" like a claymore, so she shatters and only takes 3 hits to mine ores. And Diluc used to shatter with both his skill and his pyro-embued normals (though his burst itself would melt)

don't have her either but would assume it does pyro damage like every other catalyst user does with it's respective element. can't remember how ele skills are treated or if it's down to the character, don't think razor's ele skill shatters, but then haven't played him in a while... still, the elemental part should melt if it reacts, anything else sounds like a bug.

Tempted for zhong li as well. Being Phil tier bad with Hu Tao makes planet befall and shields increasingly inviting.

Each housing rank up offers 60 gems and have randos help reduce it build time, ain't too bad for playing house. Use potions to rush to rank 2 for another build queue helps.

new boss apparently requires shields to not be total aids. new domain works off shields too. maybe they're trying to reign in all those ungabunga tards (while conveniently pushing the best shield support at the same time...)

the first 2 ranks offer 10 instant complete potions, dunno if it's on the later ranks too. you can also buy 6 of those for 10 coins each week. just buy purple blueprints and instant complete them (better reward/longer built time), then blues. besides that you only need 1 friend to reduce the time by 4-5 hours for blues - time might go up for purples.

if you set the pot to "join without approval", apparently other's can join your pot even when you're offline (and the permission is independent of world). good luck finding out how to join pots directly tho (it's in the menu of the friendslist, either click the friend's icon or press r3. figuring that out was a pain in the ass).

Felt its pretty dumb we cant do basic shit like even change the primary color of the current character's armor set.
We are in 2021 for fucks sake. Not the 90's and even then it wasn't too much of a stretch to have a palette swap.

wait, you expect free cosmetic shit like that in 2021?
that's what costumes are for, hope you saved those welkin crystals... (functionality is probably not in yet given how armor seems to be directly painted on the model).

They're just lazy bastards when it comes to basic player customization.

I like to think that player customization was in the works until they saw the degree that people where whaling for weapons and characters, at which point a decision was made to delay it in favor of more stuff for morons to whale for.

I guess the tactic for home decor is to rush build and place as much as possible to increase your coin income, then keep spending your coins on instant finishes to continue the cycle. It's annoying to farm wood but not a complete pain, except those timers are probably going to change because they're just stupidly long. But hey, at least Zhongli banner.

Its really not as hard as you think to set up a RGB color slider to change a character's armor plating color in 2021.

Especially not since theyve pulled the same lazy shit before in Genshin 3rd Impact, where they basically prototyped this game in several stages with the pseudo open world updates in that game and counted 80% of the same 4 character's outfits as all being "new units" except that evil herrscher cunt you see in the intro of Genshin impact as a playable character there.

Meh, genshin just wasnt for me despite having some excellent PVE and always having something new to explore.
Was too immersion breaking to be able to become an exact clone of whoever you are talking to early on in the story. Like venti talking to venti, amber talking to amber and always feeling like you were renting your character instead of feeling immersed in the gameplay.

Wood harvesting isn't bad but there are seven variants to go.
Something more to do besides chest hunting and harvesting artifacts.

Going in for geo dad then. Glad they didn't release vortex vanquisher banner along with him.

They have yet to add a skip button for stories scenes. That's among the very least they can do.

I dont think I ever noticed them having any either.
The RNG was also comically bad and incentivized me not to spend money on how stingy it could be.
Its just the Typical Chinese dev treatment.

Also had a good laugh when looking up where Mihoyo is located to verify my assumption of chinese rushed fuckery:
Its not that hard to just go play something else and move on with your life. Chinks will be Chinks.

Chinese games have increasingly become pretty on the outside, but half baked and more often than not rushed scams that shut down in 1-2 years max. Genshin impact is no exception. Though it will probably last a lot longer than that based on the overwhelming success so far.

I was in the same situation and invested in Noelle with high defence and life is so much easier now. I'm still not close to the AR45 domains, but weekly bosses die like little bitches while not doing barely any damage.

which still needs to be put in and planned out, being easy technically doesn't mean it is logistically, and color swaps are hardly worth the effort - who cares about a blue amber. never mind you'd need to do it for all characters before the chinks throw a shitfit again.
much rather have a proper customization system where the look actually changes instead of some lazy palette swap.

the rng is simply gatcha with legally fixed rates, there is worse shit out there. fate didn't even have a pity, good luck with that. and nothing comes close to the granblue drama years back. not to mention it was the japs who came up with gatcha, not the chinese.
if you want something to shit on chinks with it's their blatant p2w dependence and acceptance, none of which is in genshin. lot of their games don't even make it outside china or SEA.

guns girlz is 6 years old and still running, honkai is 3 years old, the whole drama was because of it's anniversary where the chinks went full retard getting triggered by bunnysuits and then mihoyo not kissing their ass enough. no idea where you see "half baked rushed scams shutting down in 1-2 years".

plenty of trees to punch while doing other shit, the only ones who can be an issue are chihua since they seem to be much rarer and all over the place, which means much harder to farm. least they are easier to spot since they're the only ones with fruits.
besides that, with the crafting timer it's not like you'll need thousands of wood tomorrow (even the blueprint of a big mondstadt house is 40 or something, that's like 13-14 trees, for a blueprint that takes at least 10 hours), I can pretty much guarantee it will end up like mint.

I'm eager to see how people have been reacting to the new domain Just kill them before they go super saiyan bro. Its also funny that the domain "recommends" Geo even though adult geovishaps have high as fuck Geo resistance.
I do agree that the new boss is super, super fucking bullshit though. And this is coming from someone who completes it just fine because I have Zhongli. Its not like the Primo Geovishap where any shield will do (plus the attack that requires a shield only covers about 25% of the arena). This nigger has multiple attacks that cover the entire arena (or just hit you with an effect that deals damage until you're shielded). At least there's a small variety of shielders now I guess.

Primo geovishaps aren't much an issue even without shields, annoying to dodge though. Diluc trumps the new cyro hypo due to sheer cold reapplying instantly . Would like try it with Hu Tao but cyro saps precious stamina. Klee shouldn't have too much a trouble as well.
I want zhongli because i suck at the last two floors of abyss. It also seems skyward spine is alright with him.

Yeah I can 9-star floor 12 but I don't like doing it without both teams having either a healer or a shielder. Floor 11 is the Diona floor though due to being able to cleanse the electro succ. But I think both floor 11 and 12 are going to change soon. Not sure if its going to be on the reset (2 more days) or some other time during 1.5.

Fought it with Hu Tao, it fucking melts. I don't even have a good artifact loadouts or a crazy weapon.

Anyways Eula seems to be a bust. There's plenty of physical dps characters to exploit the cryo+electro combination (like Fischl) plus her banner is terribad. Guess I'll wait for Ganyu.

just started this, totally sold on little cute Paimon art lol

Wait who the hell is having trouble with the new domain, Noelle and Diona turn that thing into easy mode even at AR55. Pretty sure it just recommends Geo because it's entire gimmick is "Shields cause explosions", and Geo is the only real way to get shields on non-Noelle and Diona characters

And yeah the new Weekly Boss is some bullshit, but at least outside of his AoE attacks all it has going for it is an actual fuckton of HP and defense. It's basically just pick your favorite Archer, wail on him, then swap to Noelle to pop a shield when his attack cycle starts - occasionally use Noelle to heal and you're golden. He's just a time consuming bitch..

Is the best way to farm materials for upgrades like slime concentrate or masks to just set a destination from the enemies tab that matches the mat you're looking for? I've read that either that or following a farming route guide is best and haven't really been able to tell based on my own experience.

With the common enemies it's best to just explore, they are just about everywhere and you can get other collectibles on the way and not go insane. Also remember you can use crafting to combine lower rarity items.

The only items I had problem grinding is arrows, which have only a single type of enemy that drops it (to add insult to injury, they can drop masks as well).

The only other tip is to raise world level, since it massively increases rates.

If you're trying to get as much as possible as fast as you can a farming route and the tab in the book are the way to go, you can also spend stardust or star glitter or whatever it is called to buy some from the shop. Arrows can be a pain, but slime and masks will never be a problem if you're doing dailies/still exploring.

I use this Interactive World Map for finding mat locations, really comes in handy for sporadic mats like Cor Lapis and Qinxin. For slime concentrate the best place I found is either the two hydro/anemo slime packs west of the Dawn Winery and the hydro slimes that hang out on the bottom of the pointy cliff northeast of Liyue Harbor.

Like I expected, Bennet is in the store. Guess I'll use the free wishes from level ups and then dip into the character banner. It would be a shame to get Zhongli, but Noelle and Diona are alright and the new character would make grinding level up materials far easier.
Also started grinding the new domain to get artifacts for Fischl (or Razor) so they'd be able to help me go through other domains (I'm struggling with killing pyro slimes fast enough, of all things)

A question for other people here, how is Kayea considered OP? when looking at its statline his attack seems to be really low.

Kaeya is like average, not sure where you heard that. He's a decent support dps/cryo applier, decent physical dps, or decent cryo dps with chong. He's underrated if anything. Maybe you mean Ganyu who shits out the highest raw numbers in the game?

Also the new abyss is literally Ganyu Impact. I've seen a handful of non-Ganyu full clears but most of the ones I've seen involve Ganyu. Stark contrast to the old abyss which gave you more freedom with your characters.
Beatable without her, just very hard to get 36 stars without. Also these motherfuckers are starting to design damage in general around shields, its getting annoying.

New event is fun too. I think I can get about 7500 points for now. Maybe there will be some fruits that give better buffs so that I can hit 8000. Its nice to have actual combat oriented events and not just annoying minigames.
