Dottore can give you better sex than Columbina.
ban gachafaggots
>got columbina yesterday>today think fuck it, lets try a few rolls for ineffa, partly to help with team building because i want stronger teams and i'm sitting on 960+ rolls worth>decide at most, if i lose the coin flip I'll stop because want sandrone and varka>snag her on my first 10 rollHoly fuck that went well.
>Find the Witch Cave with Nicole in itJesus christ women shut the fuck upNo wonder they silenced you
I think the chest with the Columbina flowers is right on that marker.
>>730885062lol i'm at this screen and just took a screenshot as well, opened /v/ and saw the thread
When is the new content?
I couldn't wait for you to come and clear the cupboard
>>730885062Why was the lighting 10x better on the Moon than normal? It looks like all the cutscenes but it isn't.
>>730885062This quest is long bros. I'm only like half way through it
At first glance, I could instantly tell that this game is catered towards women and 4-year-olds
>>730886497one of the best though
>>730886560lmao why is Lumine doing that fashion model pose
>>730886636because she is fabulous
>>730885062>Lose coin flipDamn you Bina, you jealous bitch. Guess I won't roll for Varka afterall
do new players have to play through 5 acts of main story to unlock the new outfits?
>ummm actually your ship was Phanes all along!BRAVO NOLAN
>>730886909the absolute reading comprehension of this board
>>730886845I think you can skip a few regions?
>>730886560I like NK's quests but I'm NOT a fan of this super long anime format that railroads you.
>>730886909>these are the "people" begging for a skip button
THAT SHIT STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN THE THREE KEYS
Columbina, Ineffa, Arle, YelanYes? No? Swap Yelan for Bennet?>>730886497The worst part is, there's like no actual gameplay. It's cutscene after cutscene. I took a break act the first act and will resume tomorrow.That said, I've actually liked the story for Nod Krai, especially after Natlan which was all over the place. I felt it bounced back and forth between trying to be serious and goofing off whereas Nod Krai is mostly "this is fucking serious"
>>730885484I think I spent ~200 pulls and got c3 bina and 2 of her catalysts that game on the same 10 pull
>>730887164>Swap Yelan for Bennet?for xilonen if you got her
>>730886909Should have been obvious in retrospect.
Archon quest impressions?>The GoodDottore parts. >The BadColumbina parts.>The UglyBasically every other part, where two or three characters would have an inane conversation about shit that does not matter, outside of earsdrop of the Traveler so it was information the Traveler would not have anyway.They continue to annihilate the characterization of the Traveler and it's really annoying. The start of the game no longer makes any sense to me whatsoever with the revised/proposed timeline from the ship.
>>730886984Truly the HSR experience
>>730887313I actually do have her.
>>730887354the constant back and forth between lauma and nefer about the same shit gets on my nerves
>>730887380It's not a true HSR experience until you're forced to do some kind of a riddle room where you fly a hand and switch lamps for 20 minutes to open a path.
big edgy
>nicole is a picross 3d enjoyerbased
>>730887485That's gameplay at least>inb4 it's shit gameplayonly as shit as Genshin's own puzzles so it is how it is
Klee bros, buffs surely coming soon...
>>730887652We did get buffs, what are you talking about?
>>730887704more buffs
>Traveler wakes up in Not Nod-Krai>Immediately start dreading another Samsara/Meropede sequence>Dottore shows up just chilling table Thank fuck.
For me the most annoying one was Sandrone's retarded "formula" that did nothing except give the player an arbitrary gage to look at to build tension/have a countdown. Math does not do... whatever the fuck Mihoyo think it does.
>>730887354It's very much gacha storytelling, the story isn't that awful but holy shit total lack of editing and flying by the seat of their pants due to fast-paced live production just completely kills much of the enjoyment
>>730886845While you can skip (which I do not recommend): yes they are a reward for story progress.
>>730887490should we tell him that khaenriah is uhm back?
>>730887796For me, it was the curse. It served absolutely no purpose at all and on top of that, the complete conjecture of what it did was accepted as truth minutes later. It could have been absent and nothing would have changed. Feels AI wrote this and didn't follow up on it.
>>730887796Teyvat has its own "laws", or somethingBut yeah it's too powerful of a tool that was not used the way it could've been the way they defined it. She, or somebody else with access to it, could've seen everything that happens in the past or future with it, know anything about anything, and then they just forget about it. It's theoretically an all-powerful mcguffin (even if stymied a bit by having to account for Descender actions) and an asspull I also wish wasn't there
>>730887987>It served absolutely no purpose at allit kept the characters that they wanted to be in NK in NKthat's literally it
>>730887796>the world is like music!.. we even called our moon goddesses after musical terms>this doesn't matter>uhhh... tree of sefir, kaballah, world formula, alchemy...>this kinda matters but in vagueposting kind of way>tsaritsa is simultaneously icy, benevolent, ruthless and compassionate, same with the Fatui who just do whatever the plot needs them to at the moment>remember the Gnoses? ummm actually it's phlogiston... umm actually it's the trilune... umm actually it'sFUCK OFFFFFFF
I will NOT let you simpletons badmouth the all-encompassing work of the Narzissenkreuz Ordo!
>>730888181Would any of them have really fled? Unrelated, but what the point of Varka being in NK? There doesn't seem to be a reason he's hanging out there, and he also didn't do absolutely anything in the entire story.
>>730887987>>730888225We can keep going!>If Nefer memory dives again, she'll go blind! (even though Rerir was the one blinding her last time, not her power, and Lauma fixed her last time anyway so there's no reason why she couldn't just fix the eyes again)>Nope nevermind "Columbina put in a safeguard to prevent that.">The Doctor put up all these energy fields!>oh wait "just hit them lol">We're cursed! We can't leave! We think. We actually have no idea we just sense "something" wrong.>not that we would anyway since there's nowhere to run toIt was constant filler in what could have been a very clean, actually GOOD archon story.>>730888068You know as well as I do that that doesn't mean anything. A robot added 1 and 2 until "and now God can resurrect herself from the atoms she spread about 500 years ago." >>730888242You can't even PRONOUNCE Narcissa's cruise ordo.
Do you still have a Lunoculus here?
>>730886984I haven't been a fan either but this time I enjoyed it. Maybe I was just in the mood for it or maybe the quest was interesting enough to make it work.
I forgot that we already 'met' Nicole as early as Sumeru
>>730888302Also, Dottore did nothing wrong and spoke total sense.
>>730888225Yeah I dont like how they trying to explain everythingCan we just say "IT'S MAGIC, FUCK YOU" and be done with it?
>>730888302>that picwas he talking about the 6 million?
>>730885484So what do you do with these new characters besides watch text appear on screen? Pretend they matter in some dogshit DPS measuring mode?
>>730888484Their entire plotline is built on it being a mysterybox and just like with good old J J Abrams the more they explain the more they get their head up their ass because they didn't think the plan through very well beforehand
>>730888336Nope, and it seems like there is one expansion to Nod Krai left judging by the Lunoculus and the statues.
>>730888336No and Bina has very photogenic poses but her charge attack fucks with the camera position, making it hard to take photos of it.>>730888398I am still not even certain what his master plan was.He liked to tinker. Got it.He wanted the power of God. Got it.But.... now what? He offered everything the Traveler wanted and never even said what he wanted in return. >>730888484Unironically a better choice because their explanations are frequently retarded in the worst ways.
>>730888494what?
>>730888494lvl them upunlock lorelearn neat shit about the gameput them in my teapotlook up their skirts
I'm disappointed Thoma's mom isn't at the favonius keep
it's kuhvaki, I ain't gotta explain shit
>>730888543They need to update the shitty photomode. All they have to do is copy literally any other game with it from the past decade where it pauses the game.Or at least do like those photo taking events where you position the camera first then move about and take a photo so you can get attacks. Anything is better than what we have now.It's so stupid both ways to take photos are shit.
>>730886497It's literally the only genshin main quest I played that's up there with the better FFXIV patches IMO9.5/10They better let us go back to the fucking moon at some point its too chill
>>730888893Not particularly surprised Yoshicum slurper likes this sloppy excuse of a story
>>730886984I vastly prefer it because the long walk stretches between old archon quests were tedious and took me out of immersion. I think the pacing is better this way where it's still mostly as long as previous AQs but there's just more story content packed in instead of running around. I prefer exploration to be split away from main story
>>730888859"But anon," he replied sarcastically, "what would happen to the photo events if that happened? Think of the engagement we would lose!"
>>730888951>MGS4 is my favorite MGS
>>730889001I love taking pictures of that fat girl for 10 friendship exp
>>730888934Name 3 better video game stories, preferably a live service game or MMO
>>730889025MGS 3 > 4 > 1 > 2 for me so close : ), MGS5 sucked so I won't consider it
it shouldn't be back-to-back this hardI had to double check when the game put me right in front of dottore's lab - MAYBE LET ME WALK THERE AT LEAST!?the whole new zone felt like it didn't have anything to do with the AQ
oh neat we get some minor boreas lore
>>730889102For me it's saving the researcher in Sumeru from 3 Fungi for 15 friendship points. I drop a teleport there and it's very consistent.>>730889259The new zone DOESN'T have anything to do with the archon quest.
I was laughing at Signora copers for 5 yearsNow I have become a Sandrone coper
>>730888530It's more like the lore seems interesting when it's explained in vague books around the world but when you actually bring it to the main story and try to explain it is just kinda retarded?
>>730888282Exactly this. No player would have questioned "Why didn't the heroic heros run away?" >>730888302You forgot:>Columbina's story rehashed from the very previous story: trying to get back to her friends who can't see her.>literal time travel plot (for no actual reason other than "stuck traveling backwards in time" is cool)>>730888543Aside from "variables" (which was conjecture to begin with), Dottore's reason for recruiting traveler was "playtest my new world please". His insistence implied he NEEDED the traveler for something, but he never stated (in his one hour monologue) why.
>>730889476Didn't leakers already said she's gonna be playable?
>>730889519>playtest my new world pleaseWonderland bros, are we the baddies?
>>730889431I tend to always get susan when doing my extended shopping run every 3 days and I'm in port ormos. I don't know why I couldn't remember he name a few minutes ago
>>730889476Same brother.
>>730889476>>730889557All signs currently point to "bro she is literally a fucking robot just press 'restore from backup' you utter buffoons, I cannot believe we are actually discussing this like it's an actual problem, just find Seymour and Cater and they can assuredly fix her in five minutes."
>>730889813don't care, still saving for signora
>>730889813Yeah, and Capitano can just get his ass up from the chair.
>>730889813Seymour is senile and full of bugsCater fucked off god knows where
>>730887354i wish you fatuihq incelfaggots would just suck a dick and kill yourselves already
>>730890000CHECKED
>>730889557in the image of silhouettes with varka as one of them there's an empty spot but it has a reflection on the ground. I think people believe that's sandrone
>>730890000dangerously based and nice quads anon
>>730889890On one hand, that chair looks mega fucking comfy so I wouldn't get out of it either.On the other, let's not pretend like the Captain wasn't done entirely dirty by Natlan.>>730890000I don't even know what that is, nor do I care.
>>730889813She quite literally left a will to Arle stating "if I die, bring my core to this place." What else do you think this implies other than a revival?
>>730890000calm down master diluc
they're gonna merge Signora and Sandrone into one characterSigndSinSignoFUCKi meanSenor
>>730890271I don't think it implies anything else. I said she's getting revived.I also don't trust Mihoyo to do "the obvious thing" because they keep purposefully doing other, completely retarded, things instead.
just 1 more year to see genshin main story done for good and put into perma maintenance mode, as if it didnt go into low-maintenance safe mode with 0 new features already ever since they drifted to hsr and then to zzz
>>730890000
>>730886560>>730886636Can't get over how ugly they made her eyes.
>>730890425It's almost like they wanted to make her look like Hinata but bailed the last second
>>730890425she looks like that one chick from Demon Slayer
>>730890367>0 new featuresMW doesn't count because?
>>730890425Thank you. Someone had to say it.
>>730890541because
I hope sandrone and pulonia get merged into a hotty beefcake
by "new features" I mean sex minigame btw
Debating on getting c2 Bina or just saving till sandrone.
I remember when they invented these character intro pages for "characters that have been in the game for years, but have never appeared in the story," instead of "literal who who were just invented this patch, and were also given time in the archon quest for no reason at all."
The Traveler and Paimon have never met you. Who the fuck are you to be so casual with legendary heroes such as they?
>>730890940I think those are just for characters you haven't met until then (although they showed up in events or character quests)
>>730890940>oh no, they introduce the character the first time you meet themthe horror
>>730891047I was about to ask if his dialogue changes if you meet him before the AQI started the wq near the pillar and it was our first meeting
>>730891078>>730891127>>730891156It actually feels like I sequence broke something because I never went to the major lighthouse, and started going south from the Dottore boss fight. He's talking to me like I am a member of an investigation team, which I am certainly not part of currently.
what is the best boom for columbine?
>>730890000BASED and checked
I haven't played since Furina's release. 1) How relevant would be my old characters in the current meta? I heard they went all in with powercreep.2) How long is the story in Natlan and the newest region? Do they continue with massive wordslop padding?
>I have become a God>I can manipulate, Space, Time and Life itself>So, Die now>*Starts throwing rocks at you and shotting lasers*
Dottores experiment was approved by the Tsaritsa and Pierro. The purpose of it was to test how much bullshit one can do before the shades intervene.
>>730891527he DID fuck with the controls, which was fun
>>730891583>Pierrowhere the FUCK was he??
>>730891527>I have become a God>I can manipulate, Space, Time and Life itself>snaps his fingers>you are dead>game over>you cannot progress
>>730891583The shades have not interfered so there is no conclusion to be drawn yet besides "becoming a god isn't enough to bother them."
>>730891505depends on the characters but seems like they're going to start buffing old characters with group synergies. natlan story is pretty long
>>730891770the glitchy end screen might tease their appearance
Act 7 was boring, they should just SHUT THE FUCK UP but Act 8 was good again
>>730891819It could also tease that the Doctor isn't actually dead.
>>730891943>Sandrone dies>Dottore livesthat would get people real mad lmao
>>730891770>get 2 out of 3 Lunar Authorities while tricking the world into thinking you have the 3rd lunar authority>rip open the false sky like a jacket>(You)r party brings the frost moon from outside of teyvat back into teyvat>Heavenly Nigger is still asleep and the Shades haven't shown up to at minimum yell at youWhat the FUCK is Celestia doing? When the Tsaritsa shoots a god nuke into the sky, are they just going to say "it can't be helped" and die?
>Said fuck it and bought 50 pulls. >On 50/50 and just pulled Bina so starting at a couple into pity>Nothing in the 50 pulls unsurprisingly>Exchange all the starglitter into pulls, another 8 pulls>Decide to single pull them>Very next pull Mona who I have maxed out>Fuck at least that is a level increase and 5 pulls>Next pull>BinaWorked out way better than expected for that. Of course nothing else in the other pulls but hey.
>>730891943That's definitely what it's about, some people are just speedreading retards expecting Shades to appear because the ship was just shown
>>730892165>party brings the frost moon from outside of teyvat back into teyvatthat's the one that should ring all warning bells. If the spaceship was foreign enough to be thrown out, the fucking moon showing up inside the false sky should be a FUBAR scenario
>>730891505You're out of meta but if you have arlekino or neuv you can roll on the two current banners and have a near meta team
>>730892165In a coma. Possibly dying.
was the false moon much bigger than the new frostmoon? I wish I took screenshots but the new moon seems smaller
>>730892368I think it's the same size but the texture changed, less blurry now
>>730891505I’m gonna be perfectly honest, I wish that was where I stopped playing.
So what is the lunar charged team without Flins? I have intention of pulling for him or any other male characters.
>>730892303Guess this means Dottore actually won
>>730891943There's no way Dottore is dead for good. Why wouldn't he use his god powers to bring back all his segments or make new ones? He had several as a mortal, surely mass producing them as a god should be trivial.
>>730890425you now remember the last angel theories
>>730892597Well, obviously Ineffa and Columbina.Currently running around with Chasca as the carry and Durin in the last slot for friendship XP reasons.
>>730889890He can and he will
>>730892327Isn't Neuv still the top Hydro DPS?
>>730892597
>>730892650iirc making even one copy was a pain in the ass and he was too busy playing god right nowhe even admitted to not knowing how to use his new powers perfectlyhe SHOULD have at least one copy, though
>>730892674Sorry meant no intention to pull on male characters. I have Ineffa and Bina. Chasca I do have.
>>730892675he's too busy plapping angel ass in his mind
>>730887965Not quite yet, only the memory of it exists ready to be reborn, they still need to fight a good "host territory" for it.The sibling also first wants to get the heavenly principles to give him permission to revive it (by becoming as powerful as them so they can't just deny their wish).
>>730892806Fill it out with Fischl or Kokomi or something then.
>>730892597Replace Flins with Varesa
>>730892650But also this was probably the last big fight with him. I don't see 1 character having 2 weekly fights, and if he dies in a non-weekly that's kind of lame.So he's coming back as a dindu
>>730892780Could be that he cared more about turning people into birds and beavers than he cared about backup plans.
>>730892650>>730892780For people (like me) who forgot that was even a thing:Dottore had an army of additional bodies (off screen, never shown).Nahida asked him to sudoku them all. (Pwetty pwease wid a cunny on top.~)He agreed and said he did it (off screen, never shown).We never saw them on screen so we had no proof that the obvious reprehensible villain was telling the truth about any of this. That he had them, that he killed them - none of it.Once he became a god, he supposedly did NOT immediately go back on the agreement we're meant to believe he initially submitted to, to make new bodies.This is your "man without honor.">>730892978Then again, based beaver-enjoyer.
>>730892597Lunar reactions are a joke; they aren't much stronger than their regular counterparts. Lunar crystallize technically nets you extra free damage from where you used to deal 0 damage, but it's still not great. At best, they're used as a trigger condition to deal italicized coloured physical damage from talents.
>>730893012>never shownThe one in the comic was his extra body wasn't it
>>730893024*unless you are fighting a Nod Krai enemy with a mechanic to have effectively 50% HP if hit by lunar reactionsIt's an important asterisk. >>730893034Prove that it wasn't the real one. Were two shown in the same frame?
>>730893012Nahida could detect whether he sudoku'd them all, that's how she knew that he did the needful.
I TURNED EVERY NOD KRAI CITIZEN INTO AN ANIMAL, MORTY
>>730893078>Prove that it wasn't the real oneHe had a different design. Sure, it could be the same guy but nobody else had such a drastically different design in the comic
>>730893096I wouldn't put it past them to write that he made more after dealing with nahida
>>730893101gotta say that was cool. Dottorre was an actual well executed villain and the archon quest in Nod Krai is the best one in the game. Eventhough my favourite died, she will be back however.
>>730893078The damage from the reaction itself is still pathetic, regardless of "do X mechanic that sells the character to ensure the enemy isn't unkillable".
>>730891719KINO
>293 wishes>still at c1
>>730891719BG3 did that
>>730891527He wants to work with you.
>>730894220>ok traveler I'll give you a chance to join you>haha cheeky backstab, you little brat>ok here's another on->no wait, that doesn't count>here, have another one>please?the one time the power of friendship abandoned us...
>>730885062
my FUARKING hero...
>>730894393>"This is bullshit. They became friends with Arlecchino, Columbina and Sandrone. They're even friends with TARTAGLIA. Are you saying HE'S better than ME?"
>WHAT DO YOU MEAN "CAPITANO MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS IN NATLAN"???
>"Maybe if I kill Sandrone, that'll convince them to be my friend. Yes, that's it."
>>730886560Confident and cool>>730886636Tired and phoned in
put on the wig, Zandik
>>730895491>teehee my spaceship xoxo>fuck I've learned some serious shit
>>730895556>MUAHAHAHAHA
Yumesisters...
>>730891527
So, I hear you can keep/remove the veil for Columbina, is this a toggle you can change whenever on your playable Columbina? I'm still plodding my way through the story.Would be nice to change it up now and then.
>>730896040You have to talk to that NPC in her cave to change it.
Reminder that Dottore's and Tsaritsa's goals are still aligned.As they would say in the olden days:Like a plan.
>>730896178I see, good shit.Thanks anon.
>Dude, I'm totally better than Columbina. Forget her, you should be my friend instead.>Sandrone used to be my friend, but then she didn't like me anymore for some reason. Well screw her then.
>>730895731This was really cute.
>COLUMBINA AND I USED TO BE BESTIES>TRUST ME BRO
>She was basically my little sister!
>Traveler, I can suck dick better than Columbina, won't you join me in my experiments?
>>730894363the real mvp of this patch
>I CAN EAT YOUR ASS SO GOOD, TRAVELER
Piamon SMART
>>730896645...Wait, is Paimon really that tiny? Also, where's this from?
>SIT DOWN AND PLAY MY MILLIASTRA LEVELS
>>730896690bro your diploma?
>>730896645
>>730896690Do the new outfit quest for the water dragon dude, piamon outfit is just really puffy and makes her look big
>>730896845
>Dottore's a dropout>Paimon graduatedPaimon deserves to be the #2 Harbinger instead.
Heavenly Principles is the spaceship's ai module.
>>730896759>>730896909wtf are you guys talking about?
>>730885062feet game
Heavenly Principles is the Twins' parents
>>730897357BLAH BLAH BLAH
>>730897357Nicole BOOBA
>>730897357I like her legs
Dottore's feet are better than Columbina's.
>>730897357Notorious human fucker
>>730897357
>>730897357If she's mute why are her eyes open?
>"Come Traveler, I'll lead you to treasure~">leads you to the bedroomWHORE
>>730897424>wtf is this spaceship you brought home? move that garbage off my planet
>>730897357>blatantly flirts with Varka in broad daylight This is why all angels all got lobotomized.
>>730897753varka belongs to the witches, they have him whipped
I wish they had the balls to make Nicole and Varka a couple.
>>730897865>Varka forced to sign a contract that states he has to get milked by a different Hexenzirkel member every day or else they nuke MondstadtAre the witches the big bad afterall?
Nothing to see here, just a cow walking her cow.
>>730898103they could just strap a magical milking machine to him which is why he drinks so much
>>730898068I'm usually not into shipping but that was a cute moment.Then again, she's gonna be a playable character and slobber Traveler's cock all day.
>four hard pities for C1 Bina>another two for R1This has gone a lot worse than I imagined. Guess I have to skip Zibai now if I want to have a chance at Nicoco.
>>730898229I'm sure this is racist SOMEHOW>>730897865>>730898103Alice has some explaining to do...
>>730897563 Because she's not earless, anon.
So, what were the witches doing?Surely it's a consequence of the shit going down in Teyvat.
>>730899164they said the border that is maintained hides teyvat from the outside universe
>>730899164Quietly preparing the Honkaiverse transition for 7.4
>>730899164being part of the anti-immigration committee takes up all their time
>>730897236Why are you confused anon?
>>730899164Welcoming the Astral Express.
>>730899219Depending on how they expand on that it's going to make Teyvat look really lame.
>>73089921999.99% sure aeons have their eye on the world now
>>730899361When we went to the moon I fully expected to see a giant corpse there.
>>730899164While you were on the moon, you could see a part of space that is corrupted by the Abyss. I assume the witches and the shades are on the frontlines.

I got Dottore scapegoating fatigue bros
>>730899869Funny how you can apply this to basically every major AQ arch.
>>730899480The moon is gonna be a gigantic egg.
Dottore will win.Mavuika will fold.
>>730895731Is that considered yume? He is a serial killer who also killed a lot of children, I thought yume was supposed to be vanilla
>>730900184She can(not) fix him.

So what the fuck was the Palestar Edict and Project Smegma or whatever?
>>730900776>So what the fuck was the Palestar Edictcapture Columbina
>>730900776palestar edict = bring columbina back to harbinger hqproject stuzha = le secret tsaritsa plan, will probably be the snezhnaya archon quest

This fucking guy.Wonder if/when we'll see him encounter an archon.

I’m going insane how are so many people missing the point of the story??? Like the traveler stop being selfish and only wanting to see their twin in 2.x
I just started genshin impact on xbox. Any tips for playing?Thank you in advance.
>>730902114He should've used his powers to remove that possibility entirely.
>>730902265build one character you enjoy using at the start
>>730902265don't get overwhelmed
>>730901632>>730901168The popup says in simple English "use Pyro or Electro swirl."You need anemo to kill the clone. Chasker shits on him.
>>730902420I only have the traveller and that red dress chick right now.
>>730902265They just added a timeline for what and when stories to play. I wish I had that back then.
>>730902548ah I didn't see the swirl part. I just brute forced it with clorinde ineffa nahida bina. I don't really read things when I'm fighting
>>730902562they'll give you a few more plus once you get to mondstadt you can use your free 10 standard wishes they give you
>>730902239it must be so weird being this dumb
>>730902265Just don't spend your gems on blue wishes. That's the only meaningful mistake you could make.
>>730902265only use primogems for limited bannersamber is best girl in first zones, don't listen to tier lists and meta faggots, the best characters in endgame don't translate to best characters in normal game especially not in the prologue
>>730902265dont roll for columbina or you will get stuck staring at her feet frequently
>>730886845They can skip to Natlan but they still have to do roughly 80 hours of story content to get Traveler's.
>>730902265Don't rush. The game has 5 years of content, so if it takes you 2 years to do it all then you're already going too fast to take it in. The best parts are in the beginning. Cherish them.
>>730902863the beginning is dogshit, your nostalgia is speaking
>>730886909What did anon mean by this?
>>730888543>>730889519isn't it pretty obvious that dottore needed a descender to actually enact world changes? the subject of variables and constants was already brought up by rene who was mentioned again in this patch. everyone on teyvat is a constant because their fate is predetermined (including dottore) but descenders aren't (hence they're the variables)
>>730902924Listen to what you're saying. I wouldn't be playing the game now if I didn't like what I played 5 years ago. I have nothing BUT good memories of 1.0 and Dragonspine's release.I have plenty of good memories in the time that has gone since, but I also have a massive number of complaints and bad memories that did not exist in 1.0 and Dragonspine and Liyue and Inazuma.I can't have nostalgia for a thing I didn't experience, retard.>>730902998>the subject of variables and constantsFuck off, Kevin Levine. It was meaningless babbling in Bioshock and it's meaningless babbling here too.
>>730902998
>>730902863>so if it takes you 2 years to do it all then you're already going too fast to take it inI agree about taking it slowly, but that's just stupid. Half of the content added throughout that time isn't permanent and there have been month long drypatches of nothing to do as well.
>>730902998Even more than this, Dottore will eventually know everything that Teyvat has to offer and will need the Traveler as a starting point to explore the beyond.
>>730903159if you were to make a new account and re-experience the prologue and act 1 quests you'd realize how bad they are compared to 3.0 and after
>>730903186I'm operating under the assumption that he is not a 200-hour-a-week no lifer. The game has, unironically, thousands of hours of content. He should take years to do it all.
how will the manlets ever recover from this?
>>730903251Anything I experience now would be tainted by current knowledge of "where they went with stories," without having the intrigue of "where might they go with this story."You're right that I would not enjoy it as much on a replay, but you don't critically consider the reason why that is the case.
>>730903274I'm still mad varka uses 2 claymores
>>730903410>b-but muh HEMA
>>730903410Why? That's actually badass. He may yet recover from his butchering in Nod Krai.
>>730886020>randomly walk into nicoles gardern>her face whenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04g4CuDxogc
>>730903525>>730903534I just wanted him to use a claymore like the 1h sword users use theirs. I don't give a shit about hema. he just looks like a dumber version of alhaitham
>>730903613Get a load of this bitch nigga.Cool things are cool.
>>730902265Legitimately just explore, if you see something that looks interesting go to it you can just walk to 99% of places you see
>>730903714have you seen his attack animations? looks dumb to me
>>730903410Why would you? Razor said the dude effortlessly picked up large fangs (claymores)
>>730903410you should be mad about him doing zero damage instead
>>730903905I posted the Ringed Knight because they have similar attacks and they're both awesome.
>>730904326Good lord I can’t type , meant to say mines will do a ton of damage
>>730904365I've never played any of those games
>>730904450Play more games
>>730902265Some world quests are chains that progress as real life days go by, so don't go forgetting about them. It's usually pretty obvious "hey meet me tomorrow I got something to show you" stuff, but still.
>>730904804I dothose games don't interest me
>>730902265if you aren't paying cash you're going to have a rough time
>>730905078At this point all you need to be in meta is roll on bina and ineffa and plop whatever 4 star or standard DPS you have in the wheelchair
I don't play genshin but this pic keeps showing up in my xitter feed.What does it mean?
>>730885062Don't associate a nostalgic song from the the beginning of the gold era of gaming with your shitty chink gacha please, thanks.
>>730885062Don't associate my old consumerism with your new consumerism please, thanks.Picture of me, a gay wolf.
>>730905795The non-canon female protagonist got a new skin, which I suppose can expose her belly button from certain angles. Genshin's character designs are mostly quite tame, regardless of what normalfaggots say, so being able to see a belly button is relatively lewd.
>>730905795The Travelers (game protagonists, male or female) got new outfits in the most recent update. People are celebrating Lumine's cuteness, as usual. Nothing much.
>>730905795they used to censor navels now they don't
>>730890000Fatuijobbers... not like this...
>>730906352>underwater censor is still in>but I can get a face full of Bina's panties on demandReverse Censorship Patch when
>>730902086The electro archon is definitely deserving of judgement, she let her nation kill each other for a stupid new decree while the fatui gave cancer and debt to both sides of her nationstupid ass bitch shogun, she doesn't deserve to keep being Inazuma's archon
>>730906824She's hot so it's okay.
4 years later and Ei keeps winning.
>>730907321
Remember Kokomi, pff, the mas-, oh man, I can't...the master strategiHAHAHAHAHAHAHAt
>>730907972Unironically Kokomi has gotten 10 times the usage on my teams than Raiden has.
Still can't believe they just dropped >btw you have a spaceshipafter years of story
>>730908085>I just thought they walked to Teyvat
>>730908145I thought they used magic my man.Thought the scene of them as shooting stars was more literal.
>>730907082Not hot enough to get away with it.
>>730908085I thought it was a gay retcon/plot development for a good while, but I've come around on it. The twins arriving aboard a spacecraft is good. Just sucks that it's a whole ass sci-fi spaceship with PhanesGPT aboard. I like my travelers magical.
>>730908085my launch headcanon was they were light entities and copied the look of humans as they flew around teyvat like some kind of shapeshifter
>>730902086i think his voice lines mentions he rather likes the Dendro archon as they did nothing but good for their people.if they ever have him meet the archons you know they are going to do what Venti and Zhongli do and pretend not to know.
>>730908056i never rolled Kokomi but Raiden has been a brick for my account, Emblem just wasn't worth farming to the extent of making Raiden useful and even as a hyperbloom bot she wasn't as useful as kuki in my opinion.i really wish Raiden didn't have astronomical energy recharge needs to the point of needing a gimmick set, it is bad enough i hyper invested Neuvillette to keep him relevant i can't see myself doing it for Raiden too.
>>730908085They literally rewrote the dialogue from the 1.5 quest which said you came on a meteor.
>>730909215Seems kinda pointless.What would a Mondstadt or Liyue person know about space ships anyway?
>on a date with cute moon gf>before sitting beside her decide to put on clothes that your sister likes lumine status: KEKED
>>730909215>which saidwho said
>>730908085I hate it. I will not stop hating it.>>730908145They had WINGS in the opening cutscene, speedwatcher. They were ageless magical world-hoppers who flew from world to world until one of Teyvat's "gods" (we had no idea how low the "gods" were on the power tier back then) stripped them of their wings and stranded them.
>>730909215meteor seems close enough for plausible deniability, idk why it needs to be changed at all
>>730908085Fuckers even made the traveller go inside entirely off-screen. As if an intact and seemingly functional space ship isn't a huge deal we should be seeing.
>>730909390It's so funny that back in the day the Travelers seemed like they'd be a big deal, and now they're just a couple of random space kids who got all their powers from 3rd parties.
I liked the scene of Traveler infusing anemo with pyro.Hopefully they will do more of that later on.
>>730909357I think those feathers looks like the feather on columbina's catalyst
>>730909390>They had WINGS in the opening cutscene, speedwatcher.they were trying to leave in the opening cutscene
Was the Welkin Moon lady always supposed to be Columbina?
>>730910240i think the old animation represented her predecessor
>>730909215that's not true the spaceship was mentioned in the early beta even
>>730910152And? They weren't fucking born there - there was never any question about that.>>730910397When something appears in a beta and then not in the release, it is normal to assume the idea was scrapped.
My Nilou team is pretty strong now.Still need to test more Columbina builds though to see if keeping her HP/HP/crit is better than something like EM/EM/crit in the team.
>>730907972C6 R1 Kokomi pride!
I don't even know why I even pulled Columbina. I don't have any other nod krai characters and she does nothing for Mavuika and Skirk teams. Should've just saved for more Skirk cons.
Did you always get first time rewards for clearing weekly bosses?I dont remember that at all.
>>730913286there was a long list of bosses I claimed them for so I guess
>>730913286I think it came in a later patch and wasn't in launch
>>730910240No.
>>730910562Well that assumption was wrong and now it's in the game.
>>730913496>moon is pointing a different direction>bangs are different0/10 job you did there, Mihoyo
doing dailies in some mobile gambling scam is subhuman behaviournot videogames
Loom keeping Columbina warm at night until Sandrone can be rebuilt
Bros what's Zibai cope weapon?
>>730915559good ol harbinger of dawn
>>730915559quick glance the natlan crafted sword buff lasts as long as her skill duration and has defense substat
>>730914543Loomers get a new outfit? Or is it one of those one-time types of deals.
>>730916223Yes.No.
>>730916276Cool, but it's a shame the Traveler is boring to play as.
>they changed the gravity on the moon
Best I can do in 2 days
>>730917368>100/100and I only have 5 random pieces on her
Favorite Bina team so far?
>>730917971Navia, Bina, Ineffa, Xilonen has been my team for doing shit in the new zone.
>>730918012Ive got something similar, Columbina on amber for healing if I need it past Ineffa's shield.
>suddenly a fucking Fallout questI gotta admit this is pretty funny. Not the quest itself but that they did this.
Miliastra made me realize I suck at playing varesa...
Is there a way to go back to the moon?
>>730918745It's Genshin Impact. Of course not.And it disables all photo mode options while you're there for good measure.
Is there a skip button yet
They add any anecdotes this patch?
>>730908085Seriously. I thought they were portal hoping or something more magical.
>>730920056A painfully bad character, I did try giving her weapon to Sucrose though.
>>730917971How's your dps? I thought it would be higher considering i have c2 nahida. That aside, it's a pretty comfy team
>>730920420I dunno, seems really strong.
>>730920420Are these Wonderland things accurate?C2R1 on everyone.
>>730920942Similar numbers on the second stage I tried.One annoying thing about Columbina's charge attack in this team is that it slowly pushes you out of Nilou's range.And yeah, Im getting better damage out of Nefer's team, but I like blooming.
>>730921363In that stage the enemy is lvl 90 by default, that could be it. And yeah that shit is annoying, we gotta learn how to dash cancel, but I can't quite get the timing.
Im really digging these DPS dummy stages, I dont have to kill the fat green chicken anymore.
>>730889958>Cater fucked off god knows wherecater is dead because you killed him in the Book of Esoteric Revelations. He went into the book through one of the looking glasses, went crazy, and then you killed him. But because the Book of Esoteric Revelations has a disjointed time line, his future is your past.
>>730905873lol unc crashing out
>>730889476signora was never your friend, nor did the game ever give her enough time
>>730923319>signora was never your friendCorrect, Signora is my WIFE
>>730923389based
Which Liyue characters need buffs? Which will actually get them?
Dottore my man you could manipulate time, how did you lose
>>730924273I would like to see Ningguang deal some real damage some day.
>tested my teams with the new Miliastra DPS tester>the Skirk team is the best one by far with over 200k DPS since it's the most invested>Nefer and Mavuika teams can get over 100k>the rest of my teams are below 100kMan... and people constantly said that teams that can't get at least 100k DPS are dogshit.
Yeah, I need to dive deeper into this DPS checker thing. I want to find the ultimate one.
>>730917971Venti, Columbian, Albedo, Ineffa
>>730909390>They had WINGS in the opening cutscene, speedwatcherholy retard then i guess paimon can also travel from planet to planet fine since she can fly
>>7309242731. Hu Tranny, who's been made completely irrelevant TWICE.2. The opera singer because she does almost nothing outside of Geo aka meme teams.3. Ningger since she was my first damage dealer as is simply pitiful nowadays. 4. The cryo boy, who wasn't used much even back when he was just introduced.The only one who will receive some buffs at some point is John Lee, obviously.
Should I go for C1R1 Bina or C2 Bina?
>>730927874Where do you think birds come from?
>>730928293>4. The cryo boy, who wasn't used much even back when he was just introduced.I mained him in 1.0 and had a lot of fun before metatrannies turned up and told me I was having fun wrong
>>730923319>nor did the game ever give her enough timeThe fuck are you babbling about, she's in two regions, has multiple appearances in each and is a weekly boss. She's already Dotorre tier in terms of screentime
>>730897753That's okay anon because Varka is literally me.
>>730928506cursed image
Anyone know what you're supposed to do about those ghosts? I found their graves and Paimon suggest we go somewhere and ask someone about them, but I got distracted and completely forgot. I'm assuming I should go to either Piramida or Cliffwatch Camp, but I can't seem to find the relevant NPC.
>>730917971arlecchino, columbina, ineffa, bennett
>>730890940I got that one, too. But I think it’s because they didn’t think this would be the first time we run into him. If you go up to the lightkeeper base in the north, you see him give a speech and his name is ???. So I think they wanted us to find that, then play through the whole archon quest, then find him up there. Which is lunacy. I can’t be the only one who goes activate all the statues as soon as a new region drops and activate the domain doors. It’s a little sloppy.
Illuga is easily the worst character in Nod-Krai. Literally everyone else has some degree of appeal except him. He's as bland as you can get. It's especially sad because they clearly worked extra hard to get people to like Aino and Jahoda, despite both being 4-stars.
Jahoda mentioned.
>>730930905Umm hes wearing the virgin slayer sweater, he has alot of appeal.
>>730930905short male syndrome
>>730931680J hizzy gobblin on that glizzy
did they reset abyss? how is it?
>>730933342sigurd, cactus, and duck so if you really need lunar charged
>rolled Columbina>now have to separate Aino from IneffaI have made a grave mistake
photo events are my favorite
>>730930905If he was a girl, he'd be super popular. Very cute tomboy he could've been. Instead he's just a weird twink that appeals to nobody because he's not even twinky enough
>>730930274what ghosts? the only ghosts I've met where at the lighthouse and you have to use the lighthouse light thing on top to signal them
Should I get C1 Nilou or C2 Mona?i saw that nilou is good with lauma and binabut i also have mualani that might benefit from mona c2
>>730927874There's a slight difference between "normal animals/beings that can fly in a world" and "beings that are already stated to be world-hoppers who also have magical golden wings of light," but you keep on being retarded and not seeing the obvious difference.(You're also ignoring the still-completely-viable possibility that Paimon IS a god who CAN world-hop as well.)>>730930274Lighthouse ghosts have additional content with Lightkeepers, like Flins and Illuga (if you have them).>>730930723Yep, I also saw that speech as his third appearance in my game, and it acted like I didn't know who he was.
>>730936226I always choose the limited character over the standard one
>>730934175>can't muster the will to sperate the mom daughter from her daughter mom >put Columbina on my nefer team instead
>>730936369And you're ignoring the metaphors in early game for the sake of not overwhelming the player with information. No one can just walk through space with just the clothes on himself.
>>730936506you do have a point
>>730936556and before you say skirk did it, since you're retarded enough to mention that, she was just dropped on the planet and didn't perform intergalactic travel by flying around
How is that new Lunar Geo thingy?
>>730936785the reaction makes 3 geo turrets pop out of the ground and shoot bullets at the monster, like ningguang
>>730936556>And you're ignoring the metaphors in early game You're just making shit up and trying to retroactively justify it. What "early metaphors?" WHy would you headcanon that things are metaphorical and not straightforward rules of a setting?>No one can just walk through space with just the clothes on himself....did you just completely memory hole that we walk on the surface of the moon in this very patch? You do not need to breathe in space if your setting saying that you're an alien who does not need to breathe in space.>>730936781Skirk uses dark/Abyssal portals circa Kingdom Hearts to world-hop.
>>730936506Best one to choose is the standard one that you maxxed out. That way you get a free con for literally anyone
>>730936556>No one can just walk through space with just the clothes on himselfHold my beer
>>730936891>What "early metaphors?"For example the 2 shooting stars from intro.>we walk on the surface of the moon in this very patch?that's not intergalactic travel you moronthe only way we got there was because of columbina and one could argue that's why we could breathe also
>>730936964it took a moon goddess to reach the moon and these guys think you can just fly off to distant planets if you just jump high enough lol
>>730937024>shooting starsAgain, you're just assuming that it's a metaphorical appearance and not "what it looks like when a magical DBZ character flies." You have no basis for the assumption that you're making at all. We've seen lots of DBZ flying in recent cutscenes - Columbina and Rerir also did that. It's not a metaphor. It's what it looks like when you're surrounded by glowing energy and move quickly.>that's not intergalactic travelSpace travel is space travel, imbecile. You CAN argue it's because of Bina, and you CAN also argue that it's simply because Bina is a god and the Travel is an alien who has spent [and indeterminate amount of time] traveling between planets. There isn't even a rule in the game that anyone has to breathe in space. Teyvat is not Earth so its people are not our people. Citlali and Faruzan are 200 an 100 years old respectively but they both look 16 "because magic.">>730937118Yes, this is well-within the capabilities of magic aliens. They're magic aliens.
>>730937364>Occupation: gold medalist mental gymnast
>>730937494Quite the statement from someone who is making the claim that what you see is not what you saw, but a metaphor for something else entirely. I see a spade and call it a spade, you see a spade and call it a black person.
>>730937616of course the schizo would bring up blacked porn out of nowhere lmao
I've not been keeping up with lunar reactions at all, am I right in understanding you need both EM and crit on all characters in the team?
>>730937710Since you've dropped the veneer of being a serious person then I can safely assume you understand that you're wrong now, but I'm still going to post this from the opening of the game."I lost my -power-, so now I am trapped" is a profoundly strange way to say "I lost the keys to my spaceship, so now I am trapped." That goes way beyond the realm of metaphor. They have definitely retconned the situation as of Natlan/Nod Krai, but in the beginning, it was all simply magic worldhopping (and that was a good thing).
>>730937942>it was all simply magic worldhopping (and that was a good thing).nothing there says they were magic hopping from world toworld
I sure hope that thing that looks like a seed doesnt become used for a trees replantingUnless its done specifically for a really funny trolling the bad guy type thing>hah ha I le won actually, TWAS ALL A DISTRACTION(5 months later)>oh no the trees on fire and the leylines are so fucked damn this sucks>anyway good thing we have this sapling ready to replant, and a small garrison of godlike beings with nature powers, and an actual army of plant-based oompaloompahs ready to do anything we ask lol>n-n-nooooooo my revenge AhhHHHHHHHH
>>730937942>noooo why didn't they told us everything in the prologue!!!because then the player would've been bombarded with too much information about gods, space, planets and other bullshit and it would've ruined the storythe prologue is about easing the player in after alllet things up for interpretation and reveal stuff as the story unfoldsbasic writing
>>730903534>butcheringWhat? Varka's fuckin' fun. I don't understand you people.
I'm so glad we defeated Dottore. He will surely not bother anyone anymore.
>>730908085The bigger question is how did we go from nod-krai to fishing Paimon in the bum of nowhere?
How come every nation these days has some super powerful primordial energy to justify its advanced tech?You go back to Mondstadt/Liyue/Inazuma and it's like night and day.Maybe Inazuma doesn't count because it still has stuff like robots and bikes, but you need to be an adepti to build them
>>730938237fugue state
>>730938285>primitive village in Papua to advanced tech in Pentagonjust like in real life then
>>730938237Loom moved us from the Stasis pod and put us in Mondstad where she orinigally woke up too
>>730937928Yes, it's as cancerous as it sounds
>>730938149Story Varka has been as useful as a third asshole. Just stands in HQ and crack jokes while the world is ending around us (and all the women get things done).
>>730938361We go to that remote village for oil to use in the pentagon, it's not the same
>>730938563sounds based as hellnow pass me a beer
>>730938285Mondstat has a lasergrid and their windmills aren't actually powered by wind. Also an implied magical 3d printer in the basement of the KoF HQ. Then there's the entire alchemy division who, again, can just 3d print shit if they seriously wanted toLiyue has a LITERAL god-slaying defense array that the retarded overseer neglected to upkeep and could fix in an afternoon if he actually gave a shit to.Tech has always been retarded in genshin, some nations clearly just prefer to be more rustic than the others who revel in showing off their tech. Inazuma is just whatever Ei let's escape the lab be ause she was bored.
>>730938563He learned from Arle in Fontaine >do nothing >win
>>730938113It probably wouldn't hurt to see a crashing spaceship during the intro or for them to not waste 5 years before going>oh my special key i always had on meIt doesn't feel like much of a reveal as more of them just making stuff as they go along.Which is weird when the earlier traveller AQs felt like that with the reveal about the sibling's antics 500 years ago before the player one woke up.Or how several lorebooks/idle chatter/WQs set the stage for quests that go into detail about them
>>730938670Good enough for John Lee, good enough for me.
Thank you for breathing new life in my Navia, miss moon goddess. I shall be using this team for now.
>>730938669The potions that came from that one Recettear event should be revolutionary.
>>730939069It's crazy to realize that even at the Advanced brewing stage we were still only in the 101 course. Clearly that event was supposed to prepare the players for the reveal that Mondstat isn't just some hick nation, but an entire nation of super soldiers juiced up on whompperflower cum and shock rocks with a dash of meth for the lazy ones.
>>730930905hes the gay little boy character designed to appeal to female pedophiles (fujoshi). he exists for them to dream about him getting fucked by flinns and they are going to roll 200 times on the BPD horse lady banner (omg shes literally me) to c6 him.
>>730933342easiest abyss ever
So what the fuck did we do in the centuries flying alone through the universe while our twin was living on teyvat?
Just finished the (looong) archon questPretty good except for the weak ass ending. Considering how slow the whole thing was they could had put more effort in the villain's final moments and closure
>>730941253>Dottore will be back in Avengers: Doomsday
>>730941118Anon, it's better not to inquire too deeply into obviously rewritten lore.>Traveler is angry that he's being treated as a kid.>Fights back talking about all the things he'd personally witnessed, supernovae, species with multiple stomachs, etc.And yet the new outfit lore is very clear in establishing that: A) They are in stasis/unconscious during travelB) The ship itself is running the operation and never once allowed them to leave, there was no adventure to be had, it was looking for a world to put them down on and wake them up, but never actually found one.
>>730941561I mean, we had been dealing with his bullshit since Sumeru for him to get blasted away like a Dragon Ball monster, he got the easy way out
>>730941585>rewrittenyou say that like the prologue was some art of war masterpiece when it was just "dragon bad, we fight, now dragon good"story right now is 10 times as good then it used to be but since there are still things unexplained that we can make theories about you complain like an autist
sovl
binas
>>730941762I don't hate the story but as someone who kept up with it, it does sting a lot that the thing above is really the proper answer.>What about this part of the story?>You must ignore it, later stories contradict it and they'll stick to that going forward.
>>730941943the only examples of contradictions i've seen so far have been just autists being confused that some things weren't meant to be taken in the literal sense
>>730930905Pope-sama sends his regards.
>>730942145wtf i like illuga now?!
>Nooo, these magical beings can't move through space without a ship because of le hecking SCIENCE! it just doesn't work!!>being able to just breathe on the moon is fine though lol
>>730908145>unironically defending how the writing plops it in like Traveler and Paimon have been talking about it the entire time in 5.7
>>730942241i guess they should've mentioned how columbina made a pocket of air using moon powers, so retards like you can be satisfied since you can't think of it by yourselves
>>730918392the final reed miller quest felt kinda anti-climactic in terms of atmosphere/production value after having just done the bunker area/spoiler]
>>730942093Then explain the conundrum shown above?Go ingame and listen to About: Alchemy in Traveler's voicelines.Now go back, pick clothes and click on the lore page of the new dress you just got.Clearly both things can't be true.Traveler can only be one of:>Actual space traveler who has visited many worlds and is either extremely long-lived or downright eternal.>A frozen meat popsicle as "old" as a 1000 year old loli since he got pressed into the freezer as a kid and wasn't left out until the spaceship crashed.
>>730942407You mean the way the siblings made pockets of air around them using descender powers?
>everything I didn't understand, wasn't explicitly stated or hasn't been explained yet is a retcon
Are they ever going to talk about the taverlers' wings or uhh whats going to happen to how they flew, or is that retconned info
>>730942535>go to store to buy nuggies>it's closed despite being open yesterdayFUCKING RETCONS! MAKE UP YOUR MIND!
>>730887838>fast-paced live productionThey take like 1 year per patch and sometimes more. How is that fast-paced?>total lack of editing and flying by the seat of their pantsExplain
>>730942490>Go ingame and listen to About: Alchemy in Traveler's voicelines.>Now go back, pick clothes and click on the lore page of the new dress you just got.>Clearly both things can't be true.can't believe i wasted my time doing this just to humor a retard onlineboth of those things can be true at the same time you fucking moronyou can travel to many worlds while still being asleep during your long voyage
Shneznograd... Home.
>>730941118As >>730941585 said, there is zero point in theorizing because the implication that that time passed in the first place is already a massive change to the pre-game timeline. >>730941762He says that like a person who appreciated and understood the premise at the outset, and has watched that premise change as Genshin has changed its writing team over the past 5 years.>story is 10 times as goodI would love to see you justify this opinion without devolving into "this set of jingly keys made me clap my hands like a baby because they were shiny and bright." The current story is a complete mess of ideas with a bloated, mostly useless cast and multiple writers constantly speaking over each other.>>730942093>weren't meant to be taken in the literal senseYou're being unreasonable if you cannot comprehend how retarded your stance is right here. Genshin is made for 7 year olds, not philosophy majors. The story does not have to be stupid but it can be safely expected to be straightforward and taken as presented. Hell, even then there are retarded who wont understand it.
>>730943907>Not pictured: Guys off screen against a wall with a Fatui firing squad.
>>730944147>pretends to be a new poster because he was already btfo>his only new argument is "it's just bad ok?"
>>730944174imagine
>>730944287I can't be him because I DO hate the current state of the story.The story has been complete garbage from 4.1 onward and pretty skyboxes don't fix that.
>>730943907Beloburg was made at the same time as Fontaine and shared its design. They won't reuse any of that shit for Snezhnaya.
>>730942241>>730942407>>730942514It's inside the firmament now, not in outer space.
>>730944416sorry bro, i don't buy itearly story was complete ass compared to later storyanyone that says otherwise must be trolling or a burnout that just got bored of the game, in which case i'd suggest taking a break
>>730944624>early story was complete ass compared to later storyHow about instead of relying on your vague faggotry you quantify some of this?The early story was simple, but it was clean. The cast was small and everyone had a role to play. The stakes of conflict were immediately present and objectives to resolve the conflict were clear and logical. The relationship of gods and mortals were mysterious but intriguing, and the early national stories of "gods trying to retire/quit" were all really interesting analyses of power. Even when I complained about the rushing of Liyue's parts 2 and 3, and the godawful presentation/rushing of the civil war in Inazuma, at least the overarching stories were good. The Traveler solving a national crisis and merely asking to put up "missing person" posters as recompense was innocent and sweet, but it was accompanied by an underlying understanding that the Traveler was putting on a facade to keep suspicion low. Dottore even commented on that facade in THIS archon quest (which is part of why his parts in this patch were the best parts).Now, almost everything is not only convoluted and bloated, but it also retroactively makes past things worse by giving shitty explanations to mysteries that did not need to be solved.Good skyboxes and biker suits do not fix my problems with the current state of the game's story. I still take screenshots of the skyboxes and masturbate to the biker suits, but the problems don't go away.
How come the bar is set so high in genshin for story accuracy?Like you'd have someone pull out a random line of dialog from a quest from 5 years ago and ask why doesn't it match 100% with the things we know now in the present.I've never seen that happen in other games. Players don't even care even when the story makes no sense, they just play the game, get their dopamine hit and move on.
>>730945163I've seen it enough in my time with WoW, it happens
I'm so insanely disappointed in Columbina's cons and weapon bros. c2r1 just doesn't seem worth it at all especially since I don't care about the Nod Krai main DPS characters. I haven't rolled any of them and don't really care to.
>>730945229>gets c2r1 for a support characters, despite not having any of the main dps she supports
>>730945163>Players don't even careIt's almost like when people care about something they get upset when it's bastardized.Same thing happens in any major/worthwhile franchise, like Star Wars or Star Trek. Old fans will know the ins and outs of the original content (the stuff that made it a classic in the first place) and then new content comes out and shits on that old content. The old fans become upset, but new fans, who only grew up with the new content, don't have enough knowledge to be upset about the degradation. If you've truly, honestly, never had anything that you care about in this way then I can only pity you.>>730945229You're upset that there is no incentive to spend MORE on her? That she's great at the minimum amount of spending? That sounds like mental illness.
>>730945358>>730945363I just wanted a top tier support, not this mid one that's stuck in an ecosystem that will be irrelevant someday. Feels like dendro again.
>>730945163>I've never seen that happen in other games.Genshin devs (miHoYo, even Star Rail started with a fuckton of Trails influence) have a hard-on for Trails which is exactly like that. Like 13 games where random books and NPC conversations set up things that happen in the world and are addressed years down the line in another game entry.
>>730944447I was gonna say they'll have these cute portable heaters but this sounds more like there's one big one in each citylike crystals in FF14/16
>>730945447100% uptime on all three lunar reactions and constant hydro applications, while also buffing lunar reactions, IS a top tier support, and you get all this at C0 with a prototype amber. That is as top tier as it gets.
>>730945447>I just wanted a top tier supportShe pretty much doubles the damage of anyone using Lunar reactions to the point that Ineffa can now chunk like 50% of the elemental animals' health in Nod-Krai which is insane, even at level 60 her attacks with like one HP% goblet were dealing 10-50k damage, she has insane Hydro application, her burst is as large as Kusanali's bubble, etc. She's incredible at C0. Her constellations are pointless, her R1 only matters if you are going to use her as a main DPS which is a waste of your time consider just how amazing she is off field, and both the Prototype Amber and Sacrificial Jade are easy to get for anyone and work incredibly well.
>>730942741the moon is full tonight
I was blissfully retarded and didn't even realize most lunar reactions weren't even in the game yet
>>730942741Traveler is briefs-coded.
Why are you so fucking pale my dude
>>730946407he doesn't get a lot of light
>>730946465fuck off Cyno, you were supposed to be on duty
>varka is shaping up to be a standard brick Thoughts?
>>730886497It's why I stopped doing Genshin main quests. Would help if they were at least good but they're not.
>>730946092>IS a top tier support,For now. She's gonna age poorly like Nahida.
>>730946771But Nahida is at the Perfect Age
>>730946771She should age the same as Nahida. I think you'll find very few examples of characters that don't fall out of the meta when the live service game purposefully shifts the meta away from those characters.
