Sure is. If you want to not even read it, the perpetrator is the treasure hoarder.

*edit*

Well, hope you guys haven't been keeping your characters at 80, looks like you're going to want those last 10 levels for Dendro.

I mostly stop at 85 except for a couple of characters since it gets so spendy on exp books. I think Anemo swirl damage scales in a similar way off character level.


More commission RNG weirdness - I received the Glory dandelion commission during the first week I was playing, so back in October 2020. I hadn't received it since so I've been at 1/5 for the Glory/Godwin commission achievement. Just this week, I've had the commission twice. Was this something that was bugged and recently fixed or was the commission RNG just really unkind to me?

All the characters I use are on 90. Thats to show you how long it tooks them to come up with Dendro.

I only appreciate the stuff that actually has effort to look like the character involved. Cosplay porn is mostly cam girls with 30 awful tattoos wearing costumes from Spirit Halloween stores.

Spoiler: just remembered you're not from the US

These pop up in abandoned strip malls for like 1.5 months around halloween all over america and they sell cheap costumes. That's the reference I was making.

Spoiler: Do we have decent competition this year?

A few things I will mention about Kuro's other game, Punishing Gray Raven:

• It's almost a direct copy of Honkai Impact, as far as type of game, modes, etc.
• The combat and gameplay is actually way better and more dynamic
• Everything else is worse
• Their UI and UX are awful and the text is tiny and hard to read. Too many menus and submenus, info is all over the place, and it's tough to tell what is a button and what isn't.
• They seem to be less affected by CN censorship somehow.

This looks like a great proof of concept and it shows that they're building something nice, but they really need to consider MHY's dedication to worldbuilding, atmosphere, and polish. Even people that don't actively notice those things while playing will notice that there's something "off" about this game if they don't put the proper work into it. Just being open world and anime isn't enough to make it a Genshin level hit, in my opinion.

That said, the combat is going to probably style all over Genshin's, so if that's your main draw to this game, keep an eye on Wuthering Waves.

I tend to complain a lot in this thread, so there's definitely some aspects of GI that I can take for granted:

- I'm a PC player at AR58 and I've had almost no glitches during my time playing. I see people post funny glitches on reddit or whatever, but I've never experienced them. I've had maybe 2-3 CTDs since I started playing, which I think is pretty good for a game that gets updated as frequently as GI.
- For mobile open world game, the devs and their art team have created a really diverse set of environments and locations. I've finally started playing Halo Infinite recently and the open world is extremely repetitive, basically the same environment and building assets repeated and rearranged so that it feels randomly generated instead of designed.
- Combat and switching between characters to create reactions is smooth. Last summer, while I was taking a break from GI, I started Scarlet Nexus. Although a direct comparison is awkward since SN is much heavier on the RPG aspects compared to GI, SN's combat and clunky character switching for combos made me appreciate how well GI handles this aspect of it's gameplay.

I really miss those, though the quality is relativelly inferior to the first one. They are taken mostly from quests and limited events in the mix, which sounds rather boring imo.

yeah the graphics are worse, maybe they revealed the game early because the leaks, some characters have more graphics than others like the ones at the end but they said they are working on it.
to surpass genshin in graphic quality and animation, not only money is needed but also a lot of talent.
Anyway it looks better than tower of fantasy at least the gameplay, the industry is moving and that is good.

I always like reading about the hyper-autism players that do stuff like "mined 3000 ore in a single day", "fought Taroumaru 800 times". I'm genuinely impressed at some people's dedication with menial tasks like that. I get bored after 5-10 mins.

Here's the weapon banner for 1st half of 2.7. We'll see how I do with pulling Yelan herself, but the bow is enticing. I'm waiting to see the difference between R5 Stringless and R0 Simulacra (this bow). Get to work YouTuber clickbaiters.

Remember when Battle Pass get reworked?

Version 1.5

Weekly Missions were changed, with redistribution of weekly EXP (no net change):
Removed:
Collect 100 Mondstadt Local Specialties (450 EXP)
Collect 100 Liyue Local Specialties (450 EXP)
Complete the Wolf of the North Challenge (675 EXP)
Complete the Stormterror Domain Challenge (675 EXP)
Complete the Golden House Challenge (675 EXP)

Oh shit, I forgot all about that lol. Yea that was a nice rework to get rid of those. It's probably time for another one honestly, or at least update the rewards. 10,000 mora and 6 xp books are not the kind of prizes that incentivize people to buy the BP.

If I would guess, those people you mention are the fans of that excluded BP.

 

[crumbs]

I didn't mind the 100 specialties BP requirement, once you knew the right spots I could knock them out pretty quick. That said, I'm glad they change the BP stuff around and those local specialty requirements made more sense back during the early portion of the game when you were probably already gathering those items to level up you characters (I'm already having flashbacks to farming Cor Lapis for Chongyun, then Keqing, then Zhongli or the philo mushrooms for Barbara, then Klee then Mona )

 

[Pejo]

I think it'd be nice if they mixed up the quests so it wasn't always the same damn things. I wouldn't mind a weekly quest for "kill 100 samurai" or something like that. I think it would help motivate me to farm for some of the more rare materials like Specter drops and those new husk/mushroom drops. Otherwise I won't farm them just to farm them.

Any of you guys use Yun Jin? I just capped off her Burst to lv9, not sure if I want to level her elemental skill or not. It just seems like a small burst of damage, doesn't really matter if you're using her to buff normal attacks of another character, but I'm willing to be swayed on it.

I use her. Primally for Burst and elemental skill spam, since her burst is at max and skill at level 8.
Her usage basically resumes to:
- Use her skill, parrying and dealing good damage and then change to another character
- Gain enought particules either with her or with other characters. Rotate with her when her skill recharge completes.
- When the burst is ready, burst and then change to other character(main AA users, mine are Kaeya, Keqing and recently trained Electro-Traveler)

Didn't notice that much of AA damage bonus from her burst, but it's at least something. I use "The Catch" on her, since Energy Recharge plus bonus damage on burst make her similar to my Xynian in terms of burst spammer. Didn't build her that decently in terms of artifacts though. She scales with DEF , but so far I only got 2-set of Geo bonus plus atk 2-set with primary stats being ATK(her substats are mostly DEF % and DEF flat bonus though).

 

[InterMusketeer]

My Yun Jin's flourish is at lvl 8 because I'm an idiot. It does 600% of her DEF as damage if fully charged. Add my somewhat decent-ish artifacts with some crit, and it's capable of dealing a good amount of damage. You're forced to use the skill anyway to generate particles, might as well deal some extra damage in the process. Still, there's probably better things to spend resin on.

Sure, but I’d still like there to be at least one promoted 4* that I don’t already have at C6! Might spend a pull or two hoping for soft pity on Yelan, but I’m glad it’s not someone I have to have.

I'd rather have some free wishes than cons for characters I don't care about. But still, it's a hard pill to swallow when the new character, Cookie Shinobu, is in the same patch.

More like Sucrose1.5. Every one of his hits do swirl like hers, super easy to keep VV effect up. He's even got an ascension passive for EM to the whole party. Really solid character overall and he looks fun to play.

Decent fan-made swimsuit concept for Yoimiya.

It's not a bad thing, Sucrose can do wonders with swirls thanks to her passives reactions and having a stock of elemental skill. If anything, it would be a good thing for him if he's close to characters like her..

Also that fan-made skin it's pretty cute. When I first time suggested that they need to create paid skins(which I said here they would gain gazilions of moneys by doing so), I was thinking more like at that level. A mix of cute, style and a skin show. At that time I was like "no way, those guys would be swmiming in money when they release summer skins", and instead they release grandma Jean skin.

Time to watch a leaker try to play the game again. At least you can get a feel for their respective kits in practice. Shinobu does exactly what I had hoped. Big AoE pulse of Electro that follows the player.

Yelan trailer. Pretty stylish. Makes me wish we had an actual casino in the game that we could go play minigames like poker/blackjack/etc for Mora. I was already set on rolling for her, but I hope she's more of a bitch and less of a "must work hard and always know everything" type, though I'm not hopeful.
