So, speculation time - with Signora becoming a weekly boss like Childe, is it possible we might be getting her as a character sooner than expected? And considering the little bit of footage shows her switching from Cryo to Pyro, any bets on how long before we get a multi-element character (ie. One that switches elements on their Skill or Burst)? It might just be a gimmick for the Harbingers, but I’d be down to see how much that breaks things.
Assuming she falls under the same pattern as Childe, she could be up in a patch or two. (That's a very weak argument because we only have one Harbinger for now) I'd love to see something like on-demand element swapping, though, Childe was able to use Electro in his boss fight but it didn't show up in his playstyle at all. Maybe it'll be an actual mechanic later on, but if it happens, I hope they handle it way better than the current Traveler situation.

I think there will be and it will probably be a Harbinger, but it won't be until after Dendro is released. They would either function just like Childe to give them a decent amount of variation and keeping it simple, or they could be based off of taps and holds(tap skill for wind, hold electro) for skills and bursts so they can more freely utilize reactions without being overly complex compared to other characters. I think a tap and hold character would be more interesting because you could have different functions per the element, one more focused on single targets and one more focused on an area with skills and bursts reflecting that. Balancing the character seems like it would be a really tough thing to do since there's so much potential with it.
 
Just had a thought because the stream made me remember “Oh yeah, the Horizon Zero Dawn crossover is a thing”, how’re they going go handle Constellations for Aloy? Unless she’s just added to the Summon Pool - and when was the last time they added a SSR to the General Pool? - and a SSR per the stream anyway, are her Event rewards just going to be her Constellation Upgrade items?
 
They might cave again, they're getting a lot of hate right now. It was rumored Kokomi would be first but she's the weakest 5* by a lot so maybe all it did was make them swap her and Baal's banner.

Edit: Some people are saying the 10 pull isn't part of the anniversary but just a boosted login event that people are mistranslating.
whenever I saw it mentioned baal was usally to come first, besides banner order is probably the last thing to complain about. apparently act3 ends the inazuma story in 2.1, which would mean another whole year of filler content.

We literally got the EN stream already. Nothing for the anniversary in particular aside from 10 fates
there's talk about "surprise" stuff but I wouldn't hold my breath.

don't forget to grab the codes before they become invalid later: https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Promotional_Codes

apparently there won't be any, never played honkai but that's the example people brought up.

EDIT: more annoyed I won't be able to grab her bow because mihoyo only did the bare minimum with account migrations, even fucking bunghole did a better job with destiny. imagine getting outdone by those hacks. not a huge loss since it won't be that good and there are plenty of better bows available, but still...

I hope Kazuha actually does something and doesn't just job to baalsack. He's staying relevant for way longer than I initially thought he'd be

Adding her to the standard pool would probably be the right call. That or making her constellations free yet weak like travellers. I don't want it diluting the pool when I'm chasing Diluc/Jean cons + Mona

Considering what they revealed on stream about how she plays, I’d’ve assumed any Constellations for Aloy would just be basic shit like a second charge for her bomb, or some minor improvements for her passive skill (I forget its name, it builds when she does damage with her bombs...)
 
Also, am I the only one who finds Gooba standing upright equal parts hilarious and disturbing? this is the one part of the trailer noone has talked about

man, if there's one thing my homies and i agree on that should be added, there has to be a better variation on how artifact domains work. maybe add a third 5* artifact to every domain and let them rotate days just like the weapon and talent ascension domains, those work just fine. it'd cut the grind time by at least half.

very depressing to see a 5* artifact that has the stats you need but not the right set...

beyond anniversary, """credible""" leakers say the order after kokomi is yae -> ganyu rerun -> hu tao rerun -> albedo rerun. bags of salt and copium to be taken as always, as beta for 2.2 doesn't start yet of course, but it's gonna be real detrimental (and i'll actually cry and have to splurge my wallet) if true

Im interested in all of those besides Hu Tao. Im pretty sure Ima be skipping Kokomi and Baal too. I might have to be a double ganyulet if Yae ends up being good

I might be wrong about this but last time I checked the leaks, Aloy had no constellations, at all.
She even had a unique vision design wise with some description being "from another world" or something of the sort.

It might have changed already since this was like 3 weeks ago? and haven't heard any updates about her constellations since.

I admittedly don’t pay too much attention to the leaks - the games decent enough that I won’t go out of my way to spoil things for myself - but considering Aloy is the first Guest Character from another franchise, yeah her not having a Constellation would make sense. We’ll have to see when she goes live - the one time playing on Playstation is a perk, I get her early...
 
Bouncing off of Aloy being a guest character, it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up putting Link in the game as a Switch exclusive when the time comes.
I hope in a couple of years we can see a very big and cool crossover like the one for eva in honkai impact. that shit was so detailed and well done.

As much as I would love to see that, that does remind me - have we heard anything about Genshin’s Switch Port? At this point I kinda assumed that Nintendo’s shitty Online Server (read - the potato) was what was keeping it off the platform

Games like Fortnite and such have their own servers, so i don't think Nintendo's will be an issue. I think the problem is how weak the switch is, and how it will struggle to handle the unoptimized mess that is genshin
 
Huh so apparently when you proc Albedo's petal (hitting an enemy in his field) it has a 60%~ chance to generate energy? Shiet I might have to roll him and C6 Noelle after all, that sounds like a fun combo. I always thought he ONLY generated energy when you put the elevator down which wouldn't be enough to have Noelle's burst up 24/7.
Also it works like this for a lot of characters with off field presence apparently. Like Oz and Gouba and Zhonglis pillar.

I long gave up hope on the Switch port and I'm now looking towards the Steam Deck. I also want it for emulation, apparently people project that it'll be able to run up to GC/PS2/Wii flawlessly and maybe even some PS3.

it's pretty well optimized (for a unity game at least), switch is just that weak where it counts, I think unity wants a beefy cpu above all else.

put down zhong pillar, albedo flower, get 2x geo pulse and petal procs at once. sadly it doesn't proc on shields. but it's aoe, although I don't think it can proc itself.

if you wanna use him besides turretbot imo his C2 is probably the best to aim for since it makes him easier to build.
 
Just found out today all of the friends I have who seem to have/have had an unreasonable hatred towards Genshin are actually fucking ex-whales from other gacha and mobile game. A couple of them even spent 1-3 thousand on League and Clash Royale, and those same whales dumped money into Genshin then proceeded to completely drop it before Dragonspine even came out.
It just feels like divine justice seeing as how I'm a low spender at worst for Genshin (6~ months of welkin+BP but I've stopped as of this patch), and every time I bring up the game they just aggressively shit on it.

Fucking exactly that shit actually annoys me. What the fuck is wrong with people who pick up a game and instantly whale? Are their dopamine receptors that fried? Maybe they watch too much twitch where streamers normalize whaling to their viewers?
