Speaking of QoL.

When will adventurer journal will finally stop opening at the "Experience" tab by default? Its last page asks for Phase 3 Ascension and 6-3 Abyss ffs...

Why not open at Commissions or Enemies search?
 
Ho-Lee FUCK, WHY MHY, WHY COULDN'T WE HAVE THIS DESIGN???? so good!

Man, I'm so glad I rolled for Itto.
Everything dies in one Gorou+Itto burst combo. The big robot who's sleeping under the sakura tree? Couldn't even get up. The big electro Hilichirl? 3 hits. Those 4 robots in Guyun Stone forest? A single burst combo. The only enemies able to survive a burst is that other big geo hilichurl [edit: just tried with Benny and he died halfway into the burst] and shielded fatui.
Now tried a Benny+Gorou+Itto just oneshotted a ruin hunter with the cow. Didn't see the damage, toh

Problem with that is that they die too fast and Itto's burst doesn't charge up again.
I love the guy

Yep could easily be a skin for her, but I love the shogun motif too, it just straight up looks great.
Certified bruh moment.

Why is that limited to a boss?
I can't get over how much I like it. The waist and shoulder armor, the multiple arms, the electro symbols and overall theme. Just a mile above the usual "here's a robe or a dress with random wavy bits" that most characters have had since Mondstadt.

Trying to find the bright side of pulling Thoma: I'm getting into the fishing minigame so that I can get the Catch for the Shogun, and Thoma's passive is a 20% chance of a double catch. Nice.

Finding harsh reality: His fishing passive only works in Inazuma :messenger_persevering: Come on Devs, his character is already weak, let him have the fishing passive work in all regions.

Despite him being from Mond lmao

The devil is in the details MiHoYo. I didn't even know he was from Mondstadt, he's so bland that I never bothered to check his story.

This just means that future characters will get fishing passives for their respective regions, which is perfect since I assume everyone stops caring about fishing once they R5 the Catch.

I was really hoping her kit would be a little more exciting than that. You can already see where they're planning on making you whale for constellations:

"(initial) maximum level of [lethal sakura] can reach is 3" (will allow for at least 1 more by constellation 1 or 2)
"Every [lethal sakura] consumed will create one Tenko Thunderstrike" (probably have a cons to double the strikes or something)
(C6 - lethal sakura won't be consumed by Tenko Thunderstrike)

Ehhhh looks like C2 is the sweet spot there. I wonder how the level stacking works. Still might be a bit much investment for another electro DPS. We better see NUMBERS if they're planning on keeping things the same after the beta.

Curious to see how she actually plays. I am not sure how to feel about this news yet.

Depending on the CD timer for her e skill, I'd stop at one copy.

The FUCK are they doing to Amber and Mona? God damn twitter shitfucks and CCP, I don't know which of them are responsible for this, but I swear to god if they remove the original outfits, I chargeback everything I can and quit.

I heard you guys want some skins. Have I got something for you!



This is the wrong fucking timeline my dudes... And yeah it's actually fucking real. No joke.



Did they just... cover even more the girls skin?

I fucking swear Sony is involved in this shit somehow.

Theres barelly any difference. And the difference is even more cloth covering the skin.

Seriously, I can only think this is Sony influence. No way they would drop the chance to swim in money with good/skimpy outfits. Its gotta be that retard of Neil and his mentally ill preconception for anime.

I will add that they're confirmed to be alternate costumes, and the original ones will NOT be removed according to MHY. The idea of alternate costumes is pretty cool, but these are essentially just covering up the original designs so there's no cleavage, armpits or tights. Seems like they're pandering, but I don't know to whom.

If you're a pessimist you might say this is a sign of things to come, or you could be optimistic and look at the sexiest waifu ever who's coming out in a few hours. Your call.

So I combed through a bit of the hoyolab stuff, apparently these are new censored versions for the CN version of the game, but optional for other regions. It's unannounced if they're planning on selling or giving these away to the other regions. I wouldn't take them even if they paid me to. So tired of this censorship stuff.

I reading on reddit that will be optional, but in China the old will be permanetly removed.

In the CN version of this announcement, Mihoyo made an apology along with 1200 apologems. Seems like this outfit will replace the original skin in CN only whilst other servers can have it as an alternate outfit on top of the old ones.

As much as I hate modern Sony's idea of "good" design, I think it's not on them. MiHo doesn't give a F about what Sony wants, it's the other way around. Sony is the one who's probably paying to keep GI on PS.

Hard to believe in that when they let Aloy, a western character with no potential for being transported to anime, as a playable character.

They butchered Mona's and Amber's skins WTF


Bro... look at Rosaria. Look at the fucking Rosaria. Shes basically an Islamic woman.

I call on keeping your waifus locked inside the teapot and never letting em go. Grab everyone while you still can haha I wonder what will happen to the future reruns lol

Also: why keep boys half naked then?

So I guess the mystery of the disappearing bellybutton has been solved. We have moved into the age of Censored Impact.

I wouldn't care if they'd maintain two versions of the game, but we've seen this before. They're going to let CCP's sensibilities influence the design of all future characters so they don't anger the CN playerbase. So instead of them getting censored stuff, and us getting uncensored, censored will be the new normal.

Really disappointed.

That's worrying information. If China is indeed cracking down on sexy waifus, you can bet your butt it'll affect future characters. I don't believe for a second they'll keep making separate skins for Chinese and global markets. I wonder what the Chinese player base's reaction will be to this censorship. If they find out the rest of the world will keep access to the old skins, I think they'll rage.

I doubt they'll remove the original outfits for the global version of the game since they already promised they wouldn't. They'd have to pay apologems too. That's the last thing they want to do. But reruns could be delayed to get the censored skins ready for CN.

Boys will probably be next. Didn't the CCP complain about Venti? He's on the chopping board too.

I'm guessing this optional part is just a covered up to avoid initial backlash, and later they will eventually replace for good when the dust is settled.

Boys? I woudln't count on it. I think Venti is a special case because he looks kinda like a girl(didn't we have a leak image about him in his "almost like girl" form?).

Will be funny seeing the reaction of those guys defending when the boys get the same treatment:
Finally, a proper clothes
This is just censorship lol, but im glad its optional.
Finally
Proper clothing
I'm all in for this. I hope there will be a day where Raiden will get proper clothing also


Wonder if that's really gonna happen 🤔

Is China have any problem with husbands/feminine chars?

If so, yes. Will happen.

Maybe I'm too trusting, but I believe MHY genuinely wants to keep the old skins in the game. It's just that the Chinese government won't allow that. The biggest fear I have right now is that complaints from Chinese players could force the company to remove the original skins in the global version as well. Didn't they remove bunny girl costumes from Honkai for the same reason?

The documents from the CCP about their partnership with MHY were posted here sometime ago. I remember a passage in there about protecting traditional masculine values and depictions for male characters. Anything that could be seen as inappropriate will be altered, not just sexy women. Who knows, maybe they'll remove Itto's nailpolish!

Official notice in CN patch notes for 2.4:

Dear travelers:

We are very sorry. In response to state review requirements, we will adjust some characters' appearance after the 2.4 version update on January 5th and the subsequent 2.5 version update. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this immediate notice.

2.4 version adjustments:
(1) Adjusts the in-game appearance of Jean, Amber, Rosaria, Mona.
(2) Restricts camera angles when characters are gliding.

2.4 version adjustments:
(1) Adjusts the character art of Jean, Mona
(2) Adjusts the character art of Rosaria, Amber

Please pay attention to the follow-up announcement for the specific release time and other information.
In addition, after the 2.4 version update is over, we will also issue the following compensation:

Primogems*1200
So camera angle restrictions on gliding too. Curious if GL will also get this.

Its not that we havent seen this coming. We have cases like Ayaka and Rosaria "nerfs", which I can kinda understand Ayaka but not Rosaria.
But lets not kid ourselves. They will eventually do this, and not because they're forced. Because I think it would be too much of hassle for changing the skins just to be something "opitional"(let alone if end up being paid). They have that influence, theres nothing to fear except for heavy backlash, which I believe they can control with putrit tatics(like giving free Primogems for instance). They will have to endure whatever happens in China, so why not make the change worldwide while at it?

Also look at what bro Pejo Pejo posted about camera angles. It's only a matter of time they do that on all servers and get the support of twittards.
