Genshin Impact peaked with Furina and it's not even close.
>>733714498This but Hu TaoFurina is pretty great too though
>>733715194correct
>>733715194>Hu TaoThat's the only remotely acceptable counter argument.
'bina >
>>733715194Blue Tao and Hu Tao
>>733715442>'binaNo way, Furina mogs Bina.
She saved her nation.
>>733716451hurray!
>>733714498fontaine was inferior to sumeru
>>733716568no it wasn't
Post your cuddliest furiner
>>733717034
>>733717034Floofrina!
>>733714498
>>733716568Literally nobody believes this.
Cryo love
>>733714498Sorry anon but genshin is now a hag game though...
Fontaine and Natlan were wasted potential the region.Shame Nod Krai fucked shit up with time travel nonsense for the finale.
Aetherbros... HSRkeks and WuWakeks are making fun of us...
>>733715194>>733714498>>733715681>>733715364>>733717361why am I attracted to girls with A-B cup size
>>733718112i'm glad I have thick enough skin to not worry about shit like this. Alice (a fictional character) being married (to a fictional character) has zero effect on my erotic fantasies about her and my pull plans
You now remember Nahida and how comfy Sumeru was as a region (despite being a sausage fest with too few women)
>>733718414Because you are a man of superior taste.
>>733714498Nod Krai is gooder
>>733718615Sumeru was what stopped me from doing 100% exploration from then on thanks to the Aranara quest and the desert.
>>733717394SEX with Stacielonen
>>733718834I liked NK's story a lot. But I found the patches without exploration a bit lame. Alteast the in luna 6 we'll get the long awaited mondstadt kino and some shade/celestia kino
>>733718425This, a married erotic hag is still just an erotic hag.
>>733718764but they have NO TITS manI know small packages are a good fit with small... manhoods but still
>>733718871Yeah it is kind of a dick move to gate exploration, which is one of the major reasons people play the game, behind quests. Still, I loved it even more than exploration in Inazuma. Every time you think you are done you find some new cave or temple in the desert. The music and scenery also were top tier. I wish I could just go back in time and experience it again
>>733718971>a woman capable of lactation is a bad thingthey're all fools.
>>733718425>>733718971>>733719757what is your opinion on the new costume of morgan le fay from swordmaster story
>>733720238can't seem to find her, do you have an image saved?
>>733718971People call her "married erotic hag"What I call her is "Experienced"She would take you to flavor town
>>733715194Yes. They do tend to reveal one very good design per region tho, you have Navia, Varesa, Mavuika...But Hu Tao beats all of them
>>733720685>>733719757>>733718971You shouldn’t want to fuck Alice because it would make Klee sad ;_;
>>733720761Hu Tao was beat by Ganyu in her own region though
>>733716451One saved Fontaine one saved the world
>>733714498>literal humiliation ritual
>Genshin Impact peaked with Furin-ACK
>>733720938>giving Klee a new sibling is a bad thing
>>733721070Nonesense!
>>733720938That's why we have oyakodon.
>>733714498Worst Genshin
>>733721487how did you genned thisgive me your prompts
>>733714498lmao
>>733721756I didn't gen anything lol
>>733722089gib the prompts.
>>733721756>>733722135Good morning sir
>modernsloppa takes over>game diesNatlan should've been conquistadorkino but Fat Xiao fucked it up
m-da made me realize i love cunny
>>733718414It happens
>>733722289Who would have been doing the colonising? No Spain proxy so Fontaine as the next best thing?
>>733722135I don't have them!
Bina rerun when?
>>733721097Fontainian girls are the best in all of teyvat!
>>733723297fine thenfuck you
>>733723241Natlan itself was probably supposed to be Spain/Mexico inspired at some point in time though, so either some new faction or Fontainehttps://youtu.be/z058BZgLlTw
>>733714498my wife is such a qt
>>733721097I know she's not really dead, but I miss this tsundere robot like you wouldn't believe.
>>733725482I miss her too. But I'm also worried alot about her design and kit.
>>733725651I don't really wouldn't buy into any leaks since leakers seldom know anything that Hoyo themselves haven't put into betas or pre-load files, and it's still way too early to be getting Sandrone beta info. Plus, Hoyo are the ones who made Sandrone & Columbina a duo, so making Sandrone anything but Geo when they literally engineered it so people would want to use them together would be baffling.No guarantees on her design though, but at worse they might just keep the general design the same but give her a brighter pallet ala Scaradouche to Wanderer.
>>733726284There are some patterns one can look at. First: The harbingers of a region don't have Synergy with the archon ((usually)) but since nod krai is a special case they might break that rule. >general design the same but give her a brighter pallet ala Scaradouche to Wanderer.Considering in game art and official art outside of the game, Sandrones design might be locked in already. Scaramouche for example never had "official art" pictures for christmas or, recently cat day believe it or not. He only got art made of him with his wanderer design. That's all my hopium
>>733726576>The harbingers of a region don't have Synergy with the archon ((usually)) but since nod krai is a special case they might break that rule.That's how I see it as well, especially since every new DPS these days has some kind of OP support they're supposed to be paired with anyways. >Sandrones design might be locked in already.I wouldn't complain, they pretty much struck gold with the first iteration. All they have to do is improve some of her textures.
>>733720420because i am retarded. lost sword, not swordmaster story.
Klee has a drinking problem
>>733728337nice buzzball kid
>>733728337Tell me where Varka is right now. He needs to do his paperwork.
>>733728216Pure sex.
>>733714498Nah big tiddy electro thot was the peak and they haven't been able to recapture it since then.
>>733728768Speaking of knights and work WHAT FUCKING WORK IS LEFT FOR THEM TO DO ANYMORE TO BE SO BUiSY?>Dvalin is now an ally>Varka is back with the army>Traveller ousted the Abyss Order>Albedo sealed Durin's core so no more monsters spawning from dragonspine>Traveler fixed the leylines in Natlan and deleted abyss' main army so overall Teyvat has less monsters>Hexenzirkel protectionBy now they must be larping.
>>733729270The real question is why they hate noelle so much. You have weak/fat fucks who can join the knights but the girl who spends everyday excelling at her activities and training cant join because…?If Klee and Mika can become knights than there’s zero reason why noelle can’t.
>>733729270It's all a larp until Albedo or Alice or whoever invent something they should've and the Heavenly Principles show up with one of these bad boys.
>>733714498Points deducted for off model Furina. But you are correct, Fittings was the peak. Bina is the closest we ever got to that.
How many hours until maintenance begins? How many till it ends?
>>733714498true
>>733729640They want to protect Noelle, She's the kinda of person who would sacrifice herself to save someone without hesitation.The joke is they dont realize Noelle is fucking STRONK and could probly be fine as a Patrol Knight going around Mondstadt.
>>7337301495 Minutes
>>733729270admin work and government stuff since thier archon is too lazy.
>>733729270The Favonius is basically the goverment so they dont only do Knightly stuffThey still have a Region to maintaincome to think of it...Mondstadt is a police state...
>>733729270Much like how dumb authors can't write smart characters, the Chinese, a people who have never experienced liberal democracy and human rights, are incapable of writing a free nation
>>733731445obsessed
>>733731445>Nigger ass furinawhat is this memehow is Furina a nigger ass
>>733731445BasedOff model garbage
What if you got your own personal furiner?hardmode: no sex
>>733732585headpats!
>>733732585Impregnation
>>733732585sex with Focalors
>>733715358wives
>>733714498Everyone is free to have their own taste. I'm glad you like her. I like a dozen other characters more though. I tend to prefer the Xiangling or Noelle types.
>>733732585probably lock her and beat her up whenever i feel like itshe endured 5 centuries or something so should be fine
>>733729270wine making is a 24/7 ordeal
>>733732942Extremely high test>>733733630Low test
>>733722289Natlan was probably changed because of Fontaine. They jumped the shark with Nuevillette and they weren't making near as much. You can see this is how they treated Mavuika compared to Furina, most notable how Mavuika was part of the story the whole way through and the fact her tragic sad backstory was given in the first patch rather than in the patch she released (which most people would have rolled for her first). I think they also wanted to do something different with the region to shake up the game.
>>733730903That's rich coming from a mutt.
>>733722289they look retarded, no thanks
we rolling?
>>733722289>game diesaaaany moment now
>>733732585marriage followed by >>733733051
>>733735993For story you are right but you can't deny that exploration went to shit lately.
>>733736289>latelyit's been worse after inazuma but it's still fun
>>733735993>>733736289Forgot pic
I'm getting tempted to get back into this kusoge.
>>733736351That's entirely Klee's fault.
Bina feet > exploration
>>733728768I like Varka and I'm gonna get him but let's be real: The best part about him are all the trailers lol
>>733736452new patch tomorrow
>>733736714>tomorrowIn like five hours, max.
>>733735993I have no doubts Genshin will live for a loooong time to come. But it kinda filtered me with how horrible my rolls are, how long it takes for a character to come back, how ass the grind can be as well as the insane walls of text each quest has.I will admit, if I had better luck I'd probably be more into it. But it's gotten me jaded over time.
>>733736714I haven't played since Escoffier. What all have I missed?
>>733731817Furina canonically looks like a transgender little boy, so giving 'her' female features is wrong.
>>733736792nah, i'm going to bed soon, it's tomorrow>>733736876lunar reactionsi'm not gonna explain how they work but they need nodkrai characters to activate, and 2 nodkrai units give party buffs like elemental resonance
>>733736876Deer tits
>>733714498Furiner is a boy though???
>>733736876Horse tits
>>733737175
>>733736351where's the spooky asylum?
>>733737349in the summer event patch, with candy stalls and merry-go-rounds
>>733736654Is Varka still a brick tied by the balls to two twinks I have no interest in ever rolling for?
>>733737349She fucking blew it up.
>>733737419YES!
>>733737419Yep, he only got one nothingburger buff through the entire beta.
>>733737419People are now coping that you can replace one of the twinks with his signature weapon instead to get better dps, but otherwise, no.
>>733715194Have they ever interacted?
>>733737683they both sucked Aether's COCK, so indirectly yes
>>733737683Yes, Lantern Rite 2024.
>>733722289>>733735993The problem with Genshin now is the same problem it's always had. 10,000 hours of filler dialogue. The other stuff is fine. People just don't want to sit through 200 hours of dialogue to get to the next gameplay. Aside from the handful of people who are obsessed with the story. And those people can just go play a ton of other games or watch anime.
>>733737264Venti burden when his onee chan have overflowing milk production and no one is there to jug the entire goods so the lad has to be the one who stepped up
I just think Varka is neat! And maybe Nicole or Alice will fix whatever problems he has. I'm rolling for all the other Hexan characters anyway.
Remember the leaks saying that 4 Lunar characters in a team do more damage than 2 like Nightsoul burst? In hindsight, would it have been a better system?
>>733730903freedom ain't free
>>733738303Yes, let us further devalue the older characters.
>>733735970she's giving me Penacony flashbacks, so no
>>733737982>they're going to make a Genshin anime>have to abridge the story so hard it's going to only be like 10 hours long when the main game is 2,000 hours longIt's quite ironic. In the past, anime used to extend the story with filler. This time it's going to be the opposite.
>>733738543They really should just scrap the Genshin story and make a comedy ala Carnival Phantasm. A proper retelling would take fucking forever to get to the interesting bits, and even those are just characters vomiting dialogue. https://youtu.be/wKFvR7iDsQ8?si=q8DOHQW5yQoIndrv
>>733739269They can also do an anime original story. Or just wait until the main story is done and do a post story (war with Celestia or something). Or do stories that focus on secondary characters. Or a slice of life comedy like you said, exploring the day to day lives of people in Tevyat. There's so many good things you could do, expanding on things in the world the game keeps overlooking. Hell, have an anime story about Ject or a story about the archon war or the fall 500 years ago.But most likely it's just going to be a retelling of the main archon quest with very quick character cameos. Which will be boring as fuck and not developed enough.
alice friends are about to have a real bad day
>>733739889We've known that Alice was married since day one.
>>733714498fontrash was the coup de grace for this game
>>733736876Everything focuses on the moon now. The characters, the combat, the story, etc. So much so they added a subtitle to the game reflecting it. Also, the strong characters in Fontaine and Natlan got even stronger, while everyone else got power crept hard by the new Nod Krai characters. But you probably also missed most of the Natlan characters.
>>733740312I still don't understand why they don't do retroactive story related buffs. Arleccino should be considered Lunar. And Bennet should have the Natlan mechanics.
>>733740590For a number of years, the fact that they wouldn't alter the old characters was actually a good thing. It meant you didn't have to worry about the League of Legends/WoW effect. A character would suddenly become good or bad based on the whims of a patch that month. But around the end of Inazuma and into Fontaine, the old characters started to become too weak.What they should do is have a mechanic where, after a certain amount of time, the older characters can be raised 5-10 levels higher. To compensate with the newer characters. Still won't make every character good. Klee or Amber or Lisa will still be weaker because their skills don't have as much utility. But it would make them at least playable. The most evident example to me is how Raiden is crap now. I used her all the way through Fontaine. But now just an average 4* character from Natlan or Nod Krai can do better than her. Let alone Varesa, that destroys everyone.
>>733736289I hope Snez brings back exploration kino.
Genshin impac5
>launcher updated the main pictureFuck he looks cool
when will we get a cute trio of idols like our sister game got...
>>733728337>year 1 memes for a character talked about since year 1soul
>>7337435163 years agowhen it comes to idols they shot themselves in the foot with barbara being the closest thing to them and having known of idol culture from a magazine brought by alice from "another world"so they already made it clear there's no such thing in teyvat
>>733714498I want furina sex right now
>>733743501What's the point when fucking Sumeru characters do more damage?This game hates straight menDornman Port was also delayed from 6.4 to 6.5 for some fucking reason
>>733744724>This game hates straight menstraight men love female characters, homo bro
Why did the /v/ audience go from Genshin to ZZZ?Genshin thread struggle to hit bump limit nowadays while ZZZ hits bump limit every day
>>733745157A Genshin thread hit bump limit yesterday.The better question is why HSR has zero presence in this board, even with a new planet.
>>733745157players and discussion shifts depending on the patchright now zzz finally got their idols while genshin is in a dry periodthat said i think both sides get the same amount of posts
>>733745157>much better girls>much better combat>can just skip the dialogue if you don't want to readIt's pretty simple mate.
>>733744724>What's the point when fucking Sumeru characters do more damageLiterally all outdated except Nahida and Nilou.
>>733745157bait>>733745301samefag>>733745262hsr has always been a phone game
>>>/trash/
>>733736289I think exploration only went to pot because the developers keep attaching FOMO to it now with the extra crystals for doing it early.
>>733745275>while genshin is in a dry periodIn what universe is 6.3 a dry period?2 brand new 5-stars, one brand new 4-star, conclusion of Nod-Krai Story & huge brand new mapNot to mention 6.5 beta is already up with another huge brand new map
>>733745157Well one reason is that Genshin threads used to get instantly deleted by mods, so most people stopped looking for them on /v/.The other reason is that /v/ like shit games so ZZZ having more threads fits.
>>733745492>ZZZ>shitHow? Aside from the shit story it's way more fun than Genshin
>>733744724>for some fucking reasonIt's probably because China freaked out about Japan and forced Mihoyo to remake that area in Honkai or ZZZ. It really fucked them up and it seems to be affecting Genshin too.
>>733745464>In what universe is 6.3 a dry period?we're literally at the end of a patch you retard
>samefag tries to stir shit up againhave you learned nothing from the fights with hsr and wuwa?
>>733744724>game releases 8 girls in a row>story focuses on the girls>girl characters make up 80% of the games revenue>introduce one guy>"OMG Genshin only cares about Fujos!"Every time.
Girlfailure Furina!
So, anyone's here actually going to pick up Varka in few hours?
>>733746014not me....I like his joomp but his gameplay seems bland as hell and he's weak
>>733746014bina sucked me dry but even if she didn't i would've still skipped
>>733746014I need primos and am only around 40 in pity guaranteed. I might roll for him
>>733746014I need to save for the titty deer's rerun.
>>733746098>gameplay seems bland as hellGlad you also didn't roll for Flins, Nefer & Zibai then.
>>733746272I rolled Zibai but Varka seems more bland and is weaker.
>>733746014I'm saving for Skirk
>>733746014Flins is the only male character I've been interested with in a long time. His personality and role in the story is not just the typical male. But I'm still not getting him. I'm saving all my gems for Lauma and Columbina reruns. To make a team with my Ineffa. Flins being electo as well kind of doomed him. Don't need him when you have Ineffa (and Varesa).
>one or two rolls away from a 50/50>already have Nefer so Zibai is useless>Varka is a gigabrick>Skirk/Escoffier are freezebricks>Linnea is only for Zibai so she's useless>Nicole is only for Varka so she's useless as well>Lohen is a Standardbrick>Sandrone is a SuperConductbrickMan, the next half a year will be so fucking boringI hope they start teasing Snez super early like they did with Nod-Krai last year
>>733746014>male
>>733746014If he's a future spoop then no. Also>male
>>733746014he looks fun but from what i hear he got the Dehya treatment so his numbers are bad.with the powercreep shit we got going on lately especially with the turbo shilling of specific elements and gimmicks i can't justify going for a fun pull like him who already does outdated numbers.
>>733746585What's up with all the self-hating trannies?No one ever had problem with men in JP Gachas.
>>733746712bro i play the game for cute girls>No one ever had problem with men in JP GachasHAHAHAHAH good one
>>733746795>bro i play the game for cute girlsThere's literally a billion more gachas with far cuter & sexier girls thoughThere's literally no (you)pandering either so that excuse doesn't work either
>>733746847the other billion gachas don't have gameplaybesides zzz which i also play
>>733746847>There's literally no (you)panderingclassic self-inserting retard
>>733746895>don't have gameplayGenshin only gets gameplay during map expansions, otherwise it has the same VN gameplay as every other gacha with flash-tier event minigames
>>733746712I can't whale as I used to so I had to pick and choose banners instead of rolling for everyone.BA was created because the guy feels bad after getting a male from gachas afaik
>>733746014I don't have either Durin or Venti, and refuse to let five star manlets on my team (Bennett is obviously a 6'6" gigachad at heart). I will still probably pull the brick because he is literally one of the handful of genuinely cool looking dudes in the game, but I'm still beyond upset we never got Capitano.
>>733746480Flins does a lot of damage and I'm so shocked at how shit that hyperbloom team is with laumabineffa. I thought it would be so strong but it sucks.
>>733747087Flins is literally the 3rd strongest character in the gameVaresa is barely in the top 10 even while being carried by Durin & FischlThat anon is just retarded
>>733747183Varesa is arguably the strongest or second strongest, when considering just her damage alone. Of course other characters are stronger with different team combinations. Which is how you seem to be measuring things. And by that logic, you can replace Flins with lots of other characters to produce the same or more damage.And unless you're trying to max out Abyss, you can use any characters to do the regular game content. So this whole min/maxing is just dumb. Use the characters you like. Not "the meta." Which Flins isn't going to be considered part of "the meta" either.
>>733747608this poster hasn't tested his DPS in the miliastra mapvaresa is nowhere remotely close to flins
>>733746014I'm saving for Alice.
>>733747953NTA but flins has been pain to farm for, i just can't get artifacts for him that are not shit, luckily i saved anything that rolled interestingly as Zibai instantly got a set to use.
>>733746949>She's cute.Correct. The cutest, even.
>>733748271I was gonna roll for him if I got Ineffa's weapon going for bina's but I got Aquila so I won't roll for him. I probably had some good artifacts for him since my Zibai got a good set. I think my Columbina main dps set was alright too.
>>733748292I'm so fucking glad we got the Traveler skinsBase Lumine's model genuinely looks like shit
>>733748492mine isn't as optimized as that, i'm overcrit by a fair bit at 69.9 and only have around 250% crit damage with 2400+ DEF but it functions well enough.
>>733748507I would have picked Lumine if her new skin was her old default. Aether's new skin looks like shit too.It is not fair.
Is it up yet, or should I get back to Nioh?
>>733746509>freezebricks>SuperConductbrickI never get people who arbitrarily skip over reaction/elements like this. Especially when said people would proceed to whine whenever MHY put shilling for said elements/reactions on SO or Abyss.At least I can understand people who don't roll for males/lolis/hags/whatever since it's mostly about design.
>>733748979Yeah, it's up now.
>>733748492How do you get 300 crit dmg on zibai? Mine is only 166 and im r1 lv20
>>733750127wear artifacts with crit dmg and use a crit dmg sword
>>733747183>>733747953>flinsNewfags don’t know shit. This goober is the Al haitham of nod krai. He does fuck all besides get carried by his team mates.
>>733750293Her sig is crit damage but I dont want to level that thing to 90Anyway i saw that you have 32% crit rate does crit rate isnt that relevant in zibai build?
>>733750650>but I dont want to level that thing to 90.......???>>733750650>Anyway i saw that you have 32% crit rate does crit rate isnt that relevant in zibai build?the sword gives 30 and her set gives 30 as well so I have 92% in combat
>>733748507>>733748960I think both are equal to me purely in terms of design, but the OG's model (like many 1.X models) gets utterly mogged by her new outfits improved resolution and texture quality. The only downside is that her outfit is still the default in cutscenes despite the outfit change being a huge deal in the AQ.
varka feels nice in the trial but I think I'll save for someone else.
Wuwa better
Nobody rolls for Varka, eh?
>>733750990I don't like him. I skip
>>733751179>rolling for m*les
>>733745581Why would I play ZZZ when I could play WuWa which not only has better combat and visuals than ZZZ but has an actual world you can freely explore instead of being stuck in dull industrial hallways and battle arenas that you can't jump in?
>>733751179I would roll if he didn't participate in witch club bullshit, I just don't like Durin or any of the witches, not even Nicole which is the one most people like. There's also the fact that some of his animations look floaty, as if he's not really wielding greatswords
>>733751845bro your fischl?
New realm layout is nice, but its still not Mondstadt or Inazuma good.
>>733751917Given how he's a shit unit numbers wise I doubt I'll be able to just throw Fishcl and someone else I like in without sacrificing most of the damage potential, it just doesn't make sense to roll for him right now, I might throw a ten pull if I like the gameplay demo
>>733721278kino
>>733745581The only issue I have with Genshin is the story. So if ZZZ has that same flaw, why would I play it? But the reality for me is, I'm not going to add another gatcha to my life. Genshin already takes too much of my time as it is. And I'm not going to add their 4 other games to that. Perhaps ZZZ is a better game. And I've heard from lots of people the amount of story is way less. Which I wish Genshin would implement. But call it sunken cost or whatever you want. But I don't want to get into another one.
Damn lohen is handsome, no homo
>>733752049You didn't like Nod krai? I'm someone that fucking hated Genshin's story since 2.0 and I still liked Nod krai because of how much better it was at including the Traveler and making it so the characters aren't the most bland shit imagineable. ZZZ's story is bad but not in the way genshin's story was bad before Nod krai, its just that their narrative direction is complete garbage, it genuinely feels like they're out of ideas in every patch. 2.x was just Wise/Belle being fucking worthless retards running around having to be saved by playable characters constantly, their characters are better than what Genshin has to offer since its a darker storyline with characters like Seed having genuinely emotional stories but they don't actually know what to do with those characters
>>733752484I think Natlan was a big improvement in the story. And Nod Krai is okay so far (only about 1/3 through it). But the major problem is the pacing and filler dialogue. Which are still there. Natlan had more development and involvement of the characters. But story arcs still went on way too long. Nod Krai seems to be doing the same. People claim the story in ZZZ is faster and with less filler. Though I don't know if I can trust them since these are the same kind of people who were obsessing over Inazuma and Sumeru as amazing writing.
>>733748058She was already confirmed to be an NPC Anon
>>733752674You thought Natlan was a big improvement? huh, I'm the complete opposite, I thought Natlan was the worst region the game has ever had on multiple fronts, Nod krai had fillers but if you like any of the characters the way I did it felt way more tolerable. ZZZ's story is faster and there's a skip button if you don't like it, there's that for sure, but its still just as shit if we're talking about narrative. Its just that 2.x in ZZZ was genuinely, abhorently fucking terrible, I can't even remember what the story is supposed to be like because of how bad it was
>>733752990I liked half the characters in Natlan. And it helps that I went in expecting a lot of things, like the Pyro archon being a generic Tsundere, but almost every assuption I had was subverted. And not the shitty modern Hollywood kind of "subverted" but the good kind. I think Mavuika has the best personality and backstory of the archons so far. Even though I hate her gameplay and bike. And many other characters are kind of the same way. I actually enjoyed doing their events and reading their dialogue. It's like when an anime has a bunch of filler arcs, but it's more interesting than the main story.But I can also see why many people didn't like Natlan. It's just a taste thing. I loved the atmosphere of Sumeru. But couldn't stand the events and dialogue. Almost quit the game because of the Nara...
>>733735970Depends on how good she is with Noelle or no geo main dps. I've skipped all the geos except for CEO.
>>733735970I don't like her head feathers. looks ripped off from columbina
Finally, a twink that isn't boring or polite to a fault. It felt like only Bennett and Wanderer had actual personalities, while the rest of the shotas were just clones of each other.
>>733753647Her feathers look more like a race from Utawarerumono.
>>733735970shit design, looks like someone oc and varesa, I think varesa-like is a mandatory in every patch now, but oh well, since they said that she's going to be an essential unit for zibai, geo escoffier, premium lunar crystallize subdps, etc i'll try to get her for my zibai - purely for utility sake
>>733753683Durin being slightly more literate Razor was such a fucking disappointment.
>>733748492Nice build, bro.
He's only at lv 70, but I guess he'll probably end up as weak as I expected.
>>733754273Problem with Durin He exist long before Natlan, most of characters got tons of new direction after that.Even Varka looks like a freaking Alien for mondo standard.
>>733754110>I think varesa-like is a mandatory in every patch nowI'd love that. But we haven't seen one in Nod Krai yet. This girl is not like Varesa at all. She's got the Yanfei/Xiangling/Hu Tao body type. And probably something like Yanfei or Layla personality.Varesa, despite her unique thicc model, is a variant of the Noelle type.
>open genshin>no new map>close genshinremember when we got enkanomiya, chasm and whole inazuma back to back?
>>733754110Yeah tareme soft pastel moeblob? I sleep.
>>733754492No one actually wants to play Genshin AnonWhy do you think they keep adding in FOMO Primogems to fucking everything for the past year90% of the playerbase logs in, rolls on a banner and then logs out
>>733754492I loved the game so much back then.
My fuarking hero with his BIS.
This is an off topic gacha general for the gacha game Genshin Impact, it has a general on /vg/ under the name /gig/. I will be discussing with jannies on IRC if it is possible to move this thread and future threads to /vg/ swiftly.
>failed Varka 50/50I knew I shouldn't have rolled on the horse.
>>733754378And that's WITH his shota wheelchair? Jesus Christ.
>>733754876It really is a disgusting line up isnt it?
>/bigheadmode
>>733754876Everyone at C0R0(except B of course) and Varka with R5 Serpent Spine, but I didn't wait for the buff at the beginning. I don't like him enough to blow my fragile resins to level him day 1.
>genshin thread>puts the game name on the op, doesn't try to hide anything>thread actually talks about the game>other gacha>makes stealth generals with cryptic messages only discord troons could signal each other to>thread is typical discord tranny circlejerk garbagewhat causes thisi thought gayshit fanbase was supposed to be the worst one?
>>733755091>what causes thisConfirmation bias
>>733743516Alice literally tried to assemble an idol group but realized it'd be too powerful. That's Barbara's backstory.
>>733755091When other Gatchas try to post threads that actually name or talk about their game, the mods delete it. We'd have an endless Uma or Blue Archive general if they didn't. So they have to make stealth threads.
>>733755091This isn't /gig/ where it's mainly waifu/husbando posting.
>>733714498It peaked with mona, actually.
>>733755091Genshin's at the top, so that naturally draws the ire of everyone else.
Sugita's character is fun.
>>733755372Well, mods were doing that to Genshin too not that long ago.
>>733755372Or maybe Genshin is the only gacha with actual fucking gameplay?BA & Uma are fucking dogshit
>>733755309Too bad Alice will never be playable because she canonically had sex...
>>733728216haven't heard of lost sword but I'm glad you brought her up because holy fucking shit my dicki would let her ruin my kingdom.
>>733754492This is so stupid. I thought varka quest was interlude quest but apparently it was a story quest? What the fuck? There's literally NOTHING to do in this entire month in this game
Klee, with her mom and dad will be our own version of idol team.
>>733756143i hope the dad is as hot as Alice and Klee are.
>>733756143-t
>>733755764>I don't like the gameplayu, therefore it doesn't existUma has arguably more "gameplay" than even Genshin. It's just a Princess Maker Simulation type game and not a BotW action game. And since Genshin is like 10% gameplay and 90% cutscenes/dialogue while Uma is like 5% cutscenes/dialogue and 95% gameplay...
>>733756076Character quests are canon, dumb dumb.
>>733756226lmao a troon actually got baitedgo back to your general blud
>>733756240I'm not talking about canon or not, I'm talking about the content. They literally just put one single cheeseburger on your plate, not bigmac or anything, just a plain single cheeseburger, ala carte
>>733756076>There's literally NOTHING to do in this entire month in this gameYour fault for rushing through 200 hours of cutscenes in the first week.
>>733756226I'm getting sick doing daily in that game, I was hoping the club addition actually help me skip the career mode but it wasn't.Career mode feels like doing a 40 minutes chore of relic grind with shittier result because one bad run mean you need to replay everything or finish it just to glue your uma after wasting all my time just for daily.
>>733756226Now THIS is a cope.
>>733756421That's the case with almost any gacha. Since they force you to do some kind of daily thing. I'm not a fan of it either. But I enjoy doing one career a day (and having a goal towards making a good parent/CM Uma) than Genshin where it's "do this same commission you've done100 times before." And then use your resen on mats you don't need. And avoid the cutscenes because you don't have 40 hours to waste to get 40 gems.
>>733756660I'm getting burned out after month of playing, its still the same shit one bad run and then you are done.>do this same commission you've done100 times before."That wasn't a thing since forever anymore and I actually stopped doing commission for months, genshin is a open world and story gacha first, uma is gacha gambling first if you want better gameplay and PvP, even the character story is locked behind gacha.
>>733756872>>733756660Also nothing changed if you drop genshin for months, I did this during Inazuma chapters due to how bad the story was, in uma dropping the game for months mean you lacking in parents and gacha currency to match with other people.
Welp, time to dump some primos on Varka.
>>733756872>That wasn't a thing since forever anymore>every single day it's the same 4 of 6 Nod Krai commissions>turn on commissions for all regions>clean the Salurians horn>EMERGENCY!>Light Novel Inspiration
>>733757253I don't know what are you talking about, I never touch commission anymore ever since they added the new feature to clear all the daily quest just by crafting or waste your all your stamina in the crafting bench or blacksmith.Even before that I actually skip tons of commission, hell I sometime only logins during new events only that came out once every two or three weeks.
>>733757253Bro your encounter points? You ARE exploring in this exploration game right?
>>733757514You don't even need to explore, I did zero exploration in nod krai because I don't really like how the maps looks compare to all previous region and only do main quest and almost no side quest and my encounter points still enough clear daily till the next patch came out.I got 25 points left yesterday.That guy clearly just trolling.
I can't comprehend why people play games they don't enjoy.
>>733758036Either ambivalence, or in the case of gacha, FOMO.
>>733756143Klee is so much hotter than her mom it's unfair.
>>733758036Usually they enjoy some part of it. I like everything in Genshin except the endless dialogue filler.
>Thought I had plenty of the new artifact for Varka>Remembered that I burned through all of them the other day because they were all trashThe grind never ends.
>>733758349That's not entirely true; I didn't do a single pull in nod until Bina came out and that was just so I could enable Lunar shit on my team while still using my old teams.Genshin might be the first gacha I’ve played where I care less about FOMO. As long as the main story is engaging, I’ll keep playing. If not, I’ll drop it for months, just like I did during the Inazuma Archon quest.Even During Fontaine year I only pull for two characters only.
anyone got the klee statue on the BP? what does it look like
>>733718912
>>733759161Oh, that's a BP reward. And the $20 one at that. I guess HSR really was a sign of things to come. Though I'll admit, this isn't as bad as that, or ZZZ.
>>733759057>I'm not like most gachafags!Fucking hell, can't speak in generalities.
>>733759372nigga the fucking bp has 2 tiers since forever
>>733759382That's just how /v/ is, or even most of the internet. Whenever you say "most people", people always interpret that as "ALL people". And then they have to give their two cents, either because they have to point out that they're the exception, or because they believe that they represent the majority, and if they're doing something then most people must be doing it.
>>733759459Yeah but I never cared about the $20 BP. In fact, I don't care about the $10 BP most months either. But I'll admit, I'm tempted this time.
Fuck, I'm running low on mora again. Even though I used all the ley line boosts last week on it. Getting Beana, Horse and Varka all in a row is slaughtering my wallet.
>>733715364>>733715194maybe i should give genshit another shot after 6 years...
If anyone cares, Varka's specialty dish uses the Northern Smoked Chicken recipe.
So, /v/erdict on Varka?Was the doom and gloom proven to be right?
>>733759971He's probably pretty undercooked for a DPS in 2026, but I like him.
>this DnD eventWow what a waste of dialogue and getting characters together. DnD is always so boring.
Sisters...
>>733759971at C6 he does less damage than the hag horse at C0, so...
>>733759382I never said anything about most people, I'm just saying there's literally zero reason to fall into gacha-game FOMO in Genshin compared to other games. Just look at what anon said about Uma, that game is pure gameplay, but most of it is locked behind the gacha, skills, better training, and PvP against whales for better rewards.Meanwhile, none of that applies to this game. If I miss some FOMO characters, what's the worst that happens? I can't get a perfect Abyss clear? Then I just miss out on 1/3 of a pull worth of reward that only reset once every 30 days.

>>733745157>Why did the /v/ audience go from Genshin to ZZZ? there are 17 ZZZ threads a day and maybe one reaches 100 replies
>>733760602Not really. The biggest complaint even among the hardcore fans is the filler. When the most asked for feature is constantly for a skip button, that's not a sign people are enjoying the story.

>>733760825>>733760918>>733760945Anecdotal evidence from being on multiple Genshin forums and even here. And also that most players skip a lot of the story, as can be found by data miners.>t-that's not evidence!And yet you don't have any counter evidence. How about you prove the majority of players really like the story. The majority of players just roll for a character they find hot, then drop the game for months until the next character they like comes out. Prove me wrong.
>>733760562Yes. But I want to know why did ps4 version got nuked by hoyo exactly, is it because the enormous size of this game now and the fact that ps4 was still using hdd instead of ssd or nvme? Thid game can run on a laptop equipped only with i3 igpu, it doesnt make any sense for dedicated console like ps4 to not being able to run genshin, hardware-wise at least
>>733761053I can’t prove you wrong if you haven't even proven yourself right.Post link or STFU, the only game they finally implemented skip button is shartrail because they literally disappointing their players during bloated yap of penisconi and assmospenis
>>733761083Ps4 hardware was outdated when it came out and is now what. Fuckingalmost 15 years old????Computing hardware is ancient in 5 years
>>733761053>And also that most players skip a lot of the story, as can be found by data miners.you keep making these claims without any evidenceI point to the quests getting longer as something a lot of people have asked for in surveys
>>733761124>the only game they finally implemented skip button is shartrail because they literally disappointing their players during bloated yap of penisconi and assmospenisPost proof for this claim or STFU.
>>733761143Couldnt they just gave ps4 a mobile version or something? I know a guy in my workplace who played genshin on his macbook, that madlad emulates mobile genshin on his mac and it runs flawlessly at 120 fps
>>733761083they gave us a years heads up bro
>>733761214>I point to the quests getting longer as something a lot of people have asked for in surveysYou somehow have access to thousands of individual people's surveys? It's hilarious how your subjective assumptions are somehow "proof" and mine are wrong unless I can provide evidence.
>>733761053I quit Genshin in 2022 and I might comeback for Alice. Depends if Hoyo cucks out and declares that Klee isn't her biological daughter.Same said for ZZZ. I quit around 1.6 or whatever the Astra patch was, installed to idols, blew my rolls, lost 50/50 at 85 pity, and went and uninstalled again.
>>733761267No, what you said doesn't make any sense. You don't have any understanding of computer science obviously How did young people become like that lol you sound like an elderly person
>>733761215BTFO
>>733761267>Couldnt they just gave ps4 a mobile version or something?could be something on sony's end that made them decide to end support nowthe shit is 13 years old and couldn't run genshin when it first came out
>>733761326Husband already referenced. Hoyo directly attacking pagbrowns who have to imagine characters are for them
>>733761341The way they added skip button in 3.6 instead of waiting for 4.0 literally saying that they fuck up hard with the story.
>733761334>733761409Same tranny
>>733761267I once read that the actual size of genshin uncompressed is almost one Terabyte big, so I guess is not just the processing power but the RAM and cache size already not enough for PS4.Remember during the launch day the game barely can load most of the assets resulting in blocky stuffs
>>733761508>once read that the actual size of genshin uncompressed is almost one Terabyte big,? Makes no sense...the actual size is the size on disk..135gb or so for PCPs4 only has 8gb ram so yes that's a lot to do with it. It's hopelessly outdated
>>733761603Anon, All of those are compressed, just like your other PC, mobile or console games, the games got compress and uncompressed during your playtime.Why do you think LOADING time exist?
>>733761395>>733761508I see, if that's the case then there's nothing to be done about it.
>>733760629Hi, Ringo!
>>733761676No, they are not compressed. No files do not uncompress and compress during playtimeThat's something that could be done but generally industry wide is not doneGenshin Impact is relatively low resolution. Trust me there isn't 1tb of sata there. The size on disk is uncompressedYounger people across the board seem to have zero understanding of how anything related to technology works. Your generation is just ignant
>>733761603If you ever extract asset model data from a game to be used for blender porn making you will realized the actual size is multiple times bigger than the original game file.Just look at RPG maker game for example, most of translated assets are uncompressed files.
>>733761341>AI referencing red litOn that same place, you have countless people also saying the dialogue in Genshin is excessive and wanting a skip button. And even on the Hoyo main forums. These are literally the top two results on Google if you type 'Genshin too much dialogue.' I'd post it but 4chan is filtering the links.But somehow you're going to go "t-that's not evidence! Go back to red lit you tourist!" But somehow you referencing them is okay.
>>733761773Generally untrue, might be done in some gamesGenshin files are not compressed. The preload size is the compressed sizePeople who have never installed windows. Used a command line or zipped a file trying to argue this stuff with me
>>733761412They should have added a skip button to Genshin back in Inazuma. The fact that they added it to this other game means they either learned their lesson from Genshin or the new game was losing players even more than Genshin was.
>>733761773>you ever extract asset model data from a game to be used for blender porn making you will realized the actual size is multiple times bigger than the original game fileThis is because the file is being converted to a different format, not decompressed.
>>733761859Hsr is played by a different audience. Many don't have any experience in or care for video games, it's more para social of a game
Genshin have too much dialogue because the writers didnt read actual literature and instead read light novels. You are what you eat or something that people back then said.I never read light novel myself, but I took a peek at one of them in bookstore, and to my surprise, everything in there compiled the exact same way as genshin dialogue, even to a structural level.
>>733761785>These are literally the top two results on Google if you type 'Genshin too much dialogue.'you searched google for "genshin too much dialogue" and got results that showed you "genshin too much dialogue"
>>733761859hsr is a autbattler played on phones
>>733762057it's not an atuobattler
Hsr had a lot of potential at first. It took me two hours to beat that argenti fight with bugs. It was really hard. I wanted the game to maintain that challenge and team building exercise Now just hit auto and everything dissolves
>>733762089
>>733762001And you used google AI to search for evidence that they added a skip button because of fan complaints. And it told you exactly what you searched for. Mind. Blown. It's almost like that's what a search option does...
>>733762182you don't know what an autobattler is
>>733761785>Hoyo main forumsI'm gonna stop you right there. Almost every time I've visited Hoyolab for the check-in or to use the map, I get met with the most retarded takes imaginable.

Anyone who genuinely thinks the Aranara and Inazuma storylines were good and needed to be LONGER, as one anon claimed, certainly can be ignored.

>>733763516When the spy is good and ready to let us in. It's probably going to be a new area like the Chasm or Enki, that comes out of nowhere like 2 years from now.
>I will blow my load inside arle
>>733763553hi freminet
Seeing Diluc always makes me sad. I think he's the most heavily affected male among the year 1 models.
>>733763516Wasn't it just a secret storage space for the moon marrow that scion bitch that betrayed Lauma was going to use?
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH I GOT KEQ'D
>>733763763Congrats!
>>733763763>KeQUEEN saving yet another anon from rolling a m*lefantastic
Keqing is still the most beautiful design in the game. Doesn't she look like she smells good?Her new ENG va shit the bed. Glad I don't use eng.
>>733763946I cant even imagine playing Genshin in English these last few years. Changing VAs and the entire lack of VAs sounds miserable. They even skipped Nahida's birthday.
>>733764018The new keqing sounded wrong at first but at least was trying to deliver the character, she's too soft spoken and just a bad casting choice. But I'm something of a voice specialist and I cannot place her accent. I think she's country Welsh or something.Then at lantern rite, I enabled eng just to hear her, and she sounds like she's on fucking Xanax or something
>>733763946>yes, happy... lantern rite
>>733764018Hire trash people, get trash. I'm just glad this whole fiasco woke tons of people up to how shit these people are.
>>733751554>Wuwa>better combatlmaoWuwa combat is just MMO rotationslop.>Why would I play ZZZ Because it has better characters, which is core to any gacha. I barely ever log in to Wuwa anymore because none of the upcoming characters are interesting at all.
ok what now
varka is a portrayal of modern man who wants to seek adventure and freedom but trapped in a desk job, surrounded by paper
>>733764341Pull for your wife next.
>>733764469kino
>>733764469sign the fucking papers
>>733764341Now...you work. *chains to desk*
>>733729640Most of the time, Noelle's reliability provides a comforting presence, but there are always exceptions.Once, she learned that an adventurer was trapped on Dragonspine, so she decided to mount a rescue by herself.The snowstorm that day was terribly fierce, wiping out any tracks left by humans as soon as they were made. It was impossible to find a safe route to proceed, to say nothing of saving the adventurer amidst the snow.However, Noelle persisted on searching for the adventurer and eventually found him inside a cave, suffering from severe hypothermia.At the time, her coat was completely soaked, and the water inside her bottle had turned to ice. Thirsty and hungry, Noelle still managed to carry the adventurer down on her back.The adventurer was saved, but Noelle, having over-exerted herself, laid in bed for three days straight, suffering from a high fever. Everyone in the Knights of Favonius barely slept out of concern for her during that period. Fortunately, Noelle recovered.It was not the first or second time that something similar had happened, and everyone was deeply worried for Noelle.In order to prevent Noelle from putting herself in harm's way again, Jean had to invent some safe jobs to keep Noelle busy. If something were to happen, then Kaeya would have to save the day.During the Stormterror threat, Noelle was also eager to resolve the threat at its source. However, Kaeya managed to arrange quite a few "urgent matters" for her to attend to inside the city until it was all over.tl;dr Noelle has no sense of self-preservation, they can't just let her out to die
>>733729640First, it's a joke. But second, both Lisa and Jean have hinted that if she became a Knight, she'd basically work herself to death and possibly everyone else with her. Think about it. Someone comes to them with a commission that they need wild boar meat. By the next day, Noelle has slayed half the population of boars in Mond, destroyed multiple farms and nearly killed four NPCs.
>tried trial varka>he's fun to use>okay I'll do a few rolls and...>suddenly gold comet after 20 rolls!>it's him >won the coinflipOkay, should I get his signature weapon? Or slap him with some cope ones? I don't want to risk for Flins' weapon instead.
>>733765705His weapon seems really good in general but his damage isn't high enough that I would invest into it esp if you don't want the spear. WGS and Spine and whatever other 5 star is probably good enough on him.I mostly roll support 5 star weapons since I'm dumb and I've learned that it's just not a good idea to invest into weapons to make units stronger when they aren't that strong in the first place. Best to get that 30% boost to a unit that does a shitload of damage at 100% you know?
