>>1910211yep I will be rolling for 'bina and no other NK character
>new Mili web event gives both Geodes AND PrimogemsCan't wait to see all the milihaters give up on their principles and play the mode just for 40 primogems AND get buttmad online.
>>1910301I skip events I don't like, like that recent dance garbage that forced multiplayer without any actual interaction with other players -> it just wasted your time more.Why would I do shitty web events that are never ever worth your time?
screaming
>>1910328That game would've taken the exact same time with or without other players.
>>1910211I will collect every Harbinger and Archon regardless of my ability to build a team with them.

>>1910350I already got Nahida

>>1910604/vmg/ friend list when?
>>1910695I've tried but people are too spooked
>>1910604what region is the whale and do I have to redo the entire theatre or just the 3 chambers I missed the star on?
>>1910714why are you asking me? ask him >>1910393
>>1910714I'm not >>1910393 but I have a few C6s. I'm NA tho
>>1910714You need to get every star in one run.
>>1910804>You need to get every star in one run.I'm not gonna bother thenThe extra elixir isn't worth the effort
i just need the lunar arcanum, I know I'm not gonna get more than 9 stars in this month
>>1910347No, because everyone needs to fucking load in, and there's a queue, and a finalize thing where you once again have to wait because it's MP BS.
oh the new event is windtrace?ez skip
>>1910208
Great things are happening down in MW.

advice on estimating angle on bow?

I forgot what type of bullshit it is trying to get a specific 4*, i've gotten like six Bennets and six Faruzans but not a single Jahoda. I'm also now a Durin owner
>>1911558Finally got Jahoda, but at what cost
>>1910888Yeah I always feel guilty about those too since I'm on PS4 lol. My games load way slower than all the other people so I'm just wasting their time for no reason
so new banner rerun coming upxilonen or varesa
>>1911593I guess Xilonen is better for the buffs and stuff, but personally I like Varesa because eh runs very fast and has a BIG FAT ASS and she's pretty fun to kill stuff with as well
>>1911593the one you like.
>>1911593Cow is fun and cute, even though I usually go for the smaller characters.Right now I'd probably just hold for Bina, though.
>>1911593I'm gonna throw 30 rolls or so in the hopes of getting a Chevy con or twoI can afford it.
>thought I would get capturing radiance>actually got C7 DehyaIs there any benefit to leveling anyone to 95 or is it one of those things you only do because you like a character
>>1911752Improvements are negligible, it's more of an "I really like this character" badge kinda deal
>>1911752My beautiful precious Kokomin...
>fruitful hook, 2 favs, widsith and alley hunterWe just shifted into maximum overbait.
>>1911797I kind of want both weapons, especially Xilonen's, as well as Xilonen's C0. Currently C0 with Nata craftable. I'm just trying to figure if it's worth the upgrade to C2R1.
>>1911835>Xilonen's C0C2..
>>1911752>C6 Deshia haverThat shit better be built.
>>1911836not that anon but I got C1 Xilonen in 50 pulls. Now I have to go all in this banner to get that C2
>>1911867I'm on fuaranteed and also radiance afterwards, so it would be a certain C2 upgrade. I'll think about it these days.

>>1911870>radiancehow does it work? how do you even track that? I don't remember seeing it in paimon.moe
>>1911991Lose 4 50/50s in a row. Can happen earlier too, but no later. Probability increases as you nar the 4th 50/50, wheer radiance is 100% guaranteed.
>>1910208>keep it comfy>use yurishit pic
>>1912021you're the only one freaking out
>>1911991paimon.moe has been in maintenance mode for years.>>1911835Depends on your definition of "worth"
>>1912026What is The Current Thing Everyone Is Using™ for tracking wishes then?
>>1912027In english there's no good options at the moment, all I'm saying is that there has been no new feature for several years, so there's no indication of capturing radiance or anything else that's somewhat new. Sometimes the good chinese ones add english translations, but it's rare. (Snap Hutao was great but got C&D'd by hoyo)Seelie.me seems the best current english option for tracking anything that's not wishes.
>>1912132>no indication of capturing radianceThat's what I was thinking about as well, and since there are no indicators if you hit radiance or not (other than the in-game animation), all you could do is add when you hit "hard pity" for radiance (i.e. 4 lost 50/50s)Seelie.me is the best one out there, I really like it. Snap Hutao was great too but it died like two weeks after I started using it.
>>1912134They could add the probability of winning the 50/50 and the impact of CR.Lost one 50/50 -> 25%two 50/50s -> 75%three 50/50s -> 100%
>>1912139Does it work like that, though? afaik it's the same chance to trigger it unless you're on pity, then it's 100%
>>1912140It does, that's the leading chinese theory. It fits the 55/45 consolidated percentage Hoyo says Genshin has now.Could easily be verified at this point by the wish tracker owners looking at the sheer amount of pulls they've accumulated.
>>1912141I understand now. You're correct, adding a counter really would help...
>>1912142You could try suggesting the stardb devs to add it but they're terminally autistic (as you'd expect from HSR mains) and likely won't do it.Genshin and ZZZ are just sidegigs for them.

>>1912998literally me
huh I only needed to do Snowtrace twice to cap the points. Is this the lowest amount of times you've needed for wind/snowtrace events?
>>1913091Previously the cap was still 6k but it started at 1k and it increased by 1k every day. matches giving 1k-2k was the norm IIRC.
how many points can you get by just AFKing
>>1913122prob 400-800 per match (which lasts from 2 to 4 minutes + matching time). It's better to sit down for 15-20 minutes max and get over it asap than try to bruteforce it by being afk
>find good hiding spot>retards on the team lead the hunter directly to me in it
It's ridiculously easy to win as Hunter if you're not retarded.The cold status is a huge problem. Rebels have to properly juke with the bait to survive, but it's a huge risk.
>>1913183still don't like windtracenever have, never will
>>1913183I guess I'm retarded then, I win less than half games where I'm the hunter
>>1913189Or maybe you're facing good players and I'm not. I stand around the middle of the map so I can easily reach the torches before they're fully lit up and can generally catch 2-3 players this way.The last player in my cases has been hidden away either underground (on the flat map) or the top of the cliff in the cave map. The cave can be easy to juke you with the air current, so pay attention to it. If you've been gatekeeping the torches, they'll likely be trembling and easy catches anyway.
>>1913205I think I should play around the torches more, most of the time I'm running around like a headless chicken lmaoThe flat map is easier, the cave is a bit harder because of the air current. I never know which floor they're supposed to be in...I'll keep doing my best!
Valberry Jelly my goat
>>1912595Give me playable Signora already. Dottore made a zombie out of her dust. Alice thought it would have been a funny thing to do after Albedo revived Durin. Time travel bullshit. Give me big booby tall fire mama.
I have 1100 5* trash artifacts to feed to the strongbox. Surely I'll get something good out of it, right?
>>1913747Every time I sit down to have a strongbox session I always come out with some sweet 40+ CV thing that makes me go "I could have made this sooner."
>>1913747My Furina is made from strongbox artifacts only :^) Never farmed that domaine, not even once. This is about a weeks worth of EoSF garbage, btw. I do have a better overall feather, but it lacks HP%, so I gave it to Escoffier, and I'm currently trying to strongbox more garbage to get a decent set for Fischl as well.
I'm smol brain, wth is that 1325 number?
The leakers are saying Dornman Port soon...I need to believe in them
>>1913795how much outfits or accessories they have gotten in the current patch
>>1913752>Never farmed that domaine, not even onceAs a person who farmed for over half a year to get very good kits for around 5 GT characters and 3 MH characters, this is insane to me.
>>1913778Don't do it!
>>1913752>C6R2>not 10/10/10What are you even doing?
>>1913892whales pay to not play the game.>>1913795Number increases when you get new cosmetics. Even F2P ones count, but only after you craft them and they properly become equippable.The number resets every patch, the absolute total can be seen in your profile under the Outfit badge.
>>1913965>2025>crying about whales
>>1913886>>1913750>>1913752Well, now I'm kind of excited to do it. I rolled for Arle because she's cool but I never got around to farming her artifacts, maybe I can finally give her her proper set.Also>domaineAnd a lovely hon hon baguette to you too, anon.
>>1914012
>>1913747 (me)1100 artifacts later and I barely got an usable whimsy set. God I love gambling.
>>1914052Both my Arlemommy and Chlorine are on Gladiator, lol.
>>1914094I guess it's time to fix my mistakes by killing myself.
What do I do with those?
>>1913752>Never farmed that domaine, not even onceFor a while it was probably the most resin efficient domain to farm. What are you actively farming instead?
>>1914195wait for the next set of islands

can't wait for these skins to be super high quality models but then all cutscenes will still use the OG low quality models
>>1914578it looks like varka's clothes or jean's clothesthe colorscould it be knights of fav outfit?
Amazing
>>1914622The caption in the teaser is:>As Heaven and Earth Are Made Anew>This outfit was once cherished by the other of two companions who set out on a journey together, in a past now as distant as a dream, as ephemeral as flickering lights.
>>1914578Dogshit colors. Should have kept black as the primary color with yellow as the main secondary color instead of giving him white + blue outfit #500
>>1914629maybe it's from the ship then
>>1914635Maybe they inverted colors and lumine will have the dark and gold outfit
>>1914694Seems like her leggings are made of darker tones, so you might be onto something. I'm really excited for loom, bros. I really really like her.
>>1914591the archery gloves
Delicious
>>1914736Hope it becomes the default outfits just so the Traveler doesn't look so low quality compared to the newer characters during the story
>>1914792meanwhile paimon
Paimon and Dainsleif will also get updated (in two years)
>>1914817i was surprised that they didn't update his model in song of the welkin moon seeing his involvement in the AQ
>>1914832that's a Khaenri'ah moment, just in time for his banner
>more co-op slopglad I'm not desperate for primos
>>1915017but it says right there that it's a FUN co-op game
>>1914817Paimon doesn't need an upgrade though
Cutest Cow
>bakunawa>rerirAny other powerful beings that got shattered into a million pieces and then started recombining? Since Genshin is all about parallels they are probably an allegory for something that we haven't seen yet.
>>1915060The Kuuhenki might be in part Columbina's shattered pieces that we'll put together to revive her in the current time.
>1915060I forgot the Nothing Passage quest where red and blue moon fragments were semi-alive and wanted to consume each other.
>>1915037and she will be getting a upgrade
>>1914578>Aether's no longer looks like a fagHALLELUJAH!
When do you think it's a good time to stop doing weekly bosses? I keep doing them out of habit but I noticed that I have 48 chess boss mats, 41 natlan abyss dragon mats and 49 arlecchino boss mats. Sounds like a waste to keep farming them.
>>1916010It's still getting you billets and dream solvents, and those weekly points.But I tend to slack off on 'em whenever I'm not specifically working on somebody who needs them.
>>1916010You just do them for the trade item. When you actually need a new boss, having those is always handy because you will never get what you need.If you don't need any direct mats, just lower the difficulty so it's fast.
>>1916010It's hard to tell because you can also get character ascension materials, plus it also gives artifacts.The artifacts you get are alright for a 30 resin cost, though for 60 it's not worth.
>>1916013>>1916015>>1916021Seems like it's a good idea to keep doing them for 30 resin then. I have quite a few solvents (over 70) but I'm low on billets. You basically get 60 resin free every week through the teapot anyway, might as well do two weeklies!
>>1916010I stop when I have ~20 of each dropI've got more dream solvents than I know what to do with and I can't remember the last time I crafted a weapon
I don't mind coop at all but I really dislike saurian gameplay.
What is the likelyhood that other Archons will get new sig weapons? Especially for Raiden, this would probably be the easiest way to boost her CV a little.
>>1916186saurians are so fun when you have an infinite supply of phlogiston and a limited area to use them though
>>1916204I can only see them making one for John because his official sig is actually garbage for him.
>>1916205I feel like their controls are wonky i.e. turning around, climbing and etc., and I hate not being able to sprint.
>>1916204I think it all depends on how horny the chinese players get
I want Lumine to absolutely destroy me.
when's the stream
>>1916010I have more than enough materials but I still do my three 30s every week primarily to get ascension gemstones and to fuck around in co-op. The value shouldn't be that bad considering you get a little bit of everything from the rewards.
>>1916239January 2nd, 2026. 12:00 AM (UTC-5)
>>1916204Very likely as the archons don't get shoved in Chronicle banner hell, so they need to keep them worthwhile investments or no one will pull on their banners.If leakers are correct, John should be getting buffed next.
>>1916256Nahida buffs when?

What is bro cooking?
Do we have new QoL updates on 6.3? I'm still waiting for artifact loadouts.
>>1916851you're going to be waiting for a long, long time then.
I just ordered the Apex Skork conteoller~ While also waiting for the Genshin DualSense~
>>1917037I don't use controllers but I really want to get one of those... dammit
>>1917039I'll probably still use my XBox controller, lol, but I love Skork and I had to get her controller~
>>1917037Apex is a good controller. DualSense isnt' good enough for that premium price. It'll die turbo fast.
>cleaning up backlog of quests since taking long breaks between playing>finished the Fountaine archon quest and start the Furina quest to see how the lovely brat is doing immediately afterward>she's become an neet shut in who can only boil macaroni and dump a can of sauce of itoh no

>>1917310You fixed her, she has emotions now.
>>1917345I will mate with her until she loves me.
>>1916010I only do the three newest bosses for weeklies. It's baffling that I still do Arle when we're already moving to Nod krai and Natlan only have 1 boss.
>>1917394We'll fight Capitano in the dream world during 6.5, my aunt works for Mihoyo.
>>1917396We'll ally with Enjou and Capitano to fight Bakuwana Blanco in the real Mare JivariWe won't be strong enough to beat it ourselves, so we'll be saved by Stanley
>>1917460Saved by fake Stanley, right?
>>1917460>Bakuwana BlancoTop lel.
>next patch preview coming up >haven't even done the latest AQ yet How long is it?
>>1917622Act V is short but Act VI is very long.
>Hey, not a bad haul.Sexvuika's skill instantly kills the wolf. No phase 2, lmao.
>>1917669it's so funny how much HP got bloated between 1.0 and 6.0. Most of the time it made sense, though. >misread skill as burst at firstokay now that's a bit too much!
>>1917622Unironically long. I'm no button masher (but I'm not a slow reader either) and both quests took me around six hours or something.
>>1917678>>1917669Sorry, I meant burst. Idk why I typed skill, and I would have not noticed it w/o your post.
>>1917678Never made sense. They just didn't know how to force you to get new characters other than powercreeping.With the extreme boss shilling we're now under, perhaps they can now ease the powercreep.
>>1917699Real powercreep started around Fontaine, bro. It made sense back then because between 1.0 and 2.0 no one knew how to play the game, optimal builds, teams, rotations: just compare how crazy the tier lists back then were like.
>>1917669I used to have so much fun using Beidou's skill to parry Andrius' charges during the phase transition1.0 was a fun time
>>1917720For me, it was dropping piles of Klee mines and then baiting him into them.
"A Traveler on a Winter's Night" is very similar to what they call Voyager in Hymns of the Far North "The Stranger of Winter's Day"
>>1917702Powercreep has existed since as early as 1.2, it merely started accelerating at a faster pace in Fontaine to the circumstances around balancing back then. People just tunnel vision because their favourite characters were the ones favoured during those times, and now they're the ones getting displaced.
What is the purpose of the Tonatiuh? Leaving Teyvat? Straight up fighting against Celestia?
yes traveler columbina, leave everyone else behind and get in that moon pussy

>>1917972Oh, I see.
>>1917641>>1917680Wallahi I am cooked brothers.
>>1917622Also make sure you have a shotload of time when you start act VI because somehow the devs think it's a brilliant idea to lock you inside a dungeon, then into cutscenes, then into the same rehashed minigames you've done at least 10 times by now, into more cutscenes that you can't even take a break from without having to start all over again. Stretching the entire entire game woth another region was clearly not enough, can't wait until they shoehorn theater, abyss, stygian and even more mini games inside archon quests
Eula please come back

the thighs on this woman good lord
>>1919197people complained about the lack of lumiboobs but the thighs are so good I won't complain

>>1919197She looks so good
>>1919197>imagine choosing A**her and seeing this
How do you build ineffa? I just gave mine 4pc Gilded + Homa and called it a day, but now that I'm going to get her weapon, I want to properly build her. Is the new off-field lunar set good for her?
Very funny to me how Lumine has more or less the same outfit but upgraded to fit the game's current level of detail. Meanwhile outside of the WW1 puff pants Aether looks completely different.
>>1919205The current NK set is good on her. At least I think. Same one that you use on Lauma.
>>1919194I might be retarded but I just noticed the sixth reflection in the water without a corresponding silhouette...
>>1919198>>1919197Armpit chads we are still winning and licking
>>1919208Seems like giving Bina the new moon set and the current Lauma set to Ineffa will be the best wheelchair setup then.

>>1919250This one.

>>1919593yes but mamere, seymour, ann, and mary-ann will bring her back to life as a real girl instead of a robot
what does illuga do?
>>1919651he's to zibai what escoffier is for skork
>>1919651He gets 30-year-old women's wallets out.
>>1918465I'm waiting until next patch to use my blue fates for more chances at Jahoda
>>1919205It is, but keep in mind you want to have all 3 NK sets in a party when possible as they buff each other's effects through Gleaming Moon.Ideally Columbina will be using the new set but Ineffa is also a really good user for it.Some people may choose to put Bina on Silken Moon instead for the extra ER, but keep in mind you never want to have NK artifact dupes in your party.
>>1919696>keep in mind you never want to have NK artifact dupes in your partyGood catch, I forgot about that.
Since 6.3 isn't here yet I volunteer to take Sandrone's hyper bitch slap in Dottore's place for now.
> Q: … on the topic of production pipelines, we know that there’s a project which has been undergoing for quite some time, which is Genshin Anime, right? Can you tell about how it’s been going now?>A: well, I guess I have to be a leaker myself today ……. to tell the truth, we have been working on it. There has not been any accidents or uncertainties, haha. We have been progressing on the project on a steady pace.>A (continued): actually, when we plan our game content, including not only our update versions but also projects like these, we use a time-frame of several months or even a year in advance, so we are pushing both in-game and out-game content at once, so please don’t worry about it.>Content for version updates takes at least 6 months for regular versions, and 17-20 months for major versions.>Genshin team in general doesn’t have KPIs or revenue targets.>They will try to make everything in Genshin (i.e. items, skills, designs, mechanisms) being able to be explained by lore, as much as possible. One example he gave is designing Venti’s Hexerei NA animations, which is directly related to Istaroth.>Famous quote by Cai Haoyu (Hoyo founder, Genshin CEO): “If you produce a game while being stressed and confused, instead of being jolly all the way, it’s more likely that your game will turn out to be popular.”absolutely insane work pipeline, no wonder people said Hoyo was a black company during its early Genshin days.
>>1919654thats me this year..
>>1919195I can't stop laughing at this edit after watching the short they made for his new outfit
Now do Albedo.
>>1917993I don't understand why they do this for a phone game that people play on like their train commute. It genuinely puts me off doing quests because I think like do I want to spend three hours doing this, or would I rather just play some other game for three hours
>>1920109the people that spend money aren't the ones that actually care about the story
>>1920108God she's so fucking cute >>1920110I spend money and I care about the story
>>1920109Big story comes once in a while, you're not forced to do it immediately. I wager most wagies do these at home during weekends and leave TCG or dailies for the commute.>It genuinely puts me off doing quests because I think like do I want to spend three hours doing thisIt honestly sounds like you need to take a break from the game, anon.
>>1920110I'm f2p and I don't really care about the story either, or at least anymore. I didn't mind when the quests were like an hour max, but I don't want to marathon some filler storyline that they pulled out of their ass when I've played the game for five years already. It's getting to the point that I could finish an entire small game in the time it takes to get through one quest
>>1920111>>1920113I think that other anon is right and you should just take a break from the game.For me the story is the only thing keeping me engaged in the game (certainly not the constant spam of dogshit saurian events)
>>1920114>>1920111(me)W-why should I take a break? I'm having a blast playing the game, bwo...
>>1920112>It honestly sounds like you need to take a break from the game, anonMy playtime just keeps decreasing, now I don't really care about doing events anymore either. I kinda just go check out what's new when I feel like it, or just check these threads. Last time I logged in I activated the reunion for free gems,but then the next time it wasn't active anymore lol. But then that also compounds the issue, because whenever I start up the game, there's a giant backlog of stuff and it takes me like 20 hours just to catch up with the main story. I guess I'm just whining because I'm tired of the game but I'm still mindbroken into into having Stockholm syndrome with it
>>1920117Just let it go. If playing through a story game isn't what you like, then there's no point. Genshin is an open-world story game, 99% of the time you'll be either doing quests or walking around exploring the overworld. Archon quests are lengthy but you have 42 days to play through 4 to 8 hours of content.
>>1920117just break the FOMO and enjoy the quests one at a time. They'll still be there tomorrow.Just play a bit at a time.But if even past that you don't enjoy the game I'd just quit.
>>1920118Speaking of exploran, that's probably another thing that pushed me away from the game this year. I really enjoyed collecting garbage in Natlan because the new characters with the phlogiston gimmick were really fun to zap around with. But then that doesn't work in the new area anymore, so the new content feels jankier than a year ago. I was worried this would happen if they didn't carry it over to new regions, and in retrospect it was a weird move bringing in that new mechanic only to abandon it. Of course you can still use the skills, but there's no more midair combo swapping so it feels like I went from Genshin 2 back to the previous game. They probably just shouldn't have jumped the shark with that stuff in the first place, especially since they still locked it behind limited time characters to get the full potential out of it. But that's a whole other tangent
>>1920123I agree with you. It made sense for Natlan because the map was made to be explored with all the saurian mechanics etc. That was an oversight of them, definitely. Moonlanes are okayish.I guess my turboautism of only exploring with tabibito finally paid off, I only use movement characters when I'm farming mats...
>>1920123I didn't enjoy the natlan exploration gimmicks too much, because you're either forced to play those characters or you're just in a saurian for most of the time. Nod-Krai feels like a return to form to me.>especially since they still locked it behind limited time characters to get the full potential out of it.They're improving on that this time around by having all factions having a welfare unit, so you don't miss out on anything, at most you're timegated until the welfare comes out.
>>1920123Yes, everyone knows Natlan was a mistake from exploration, to artstyle, to character design, etc.
>>1920132The only bad thing about Natlan was the bike.
>>1920136Chasca was pretty ridiculous too, and especially if you combined the two. I've flown up to the sky fortress in Ochka, I flew up to the volcano top instead of walking, I've flown from the summer island back to the mainland, and combat wise it's like you became some kind of Apache strike unit. Actually I think Chasca would be the main culprit, since you could still stay in the air forever with Chasca + Kinich or some other character as well, it would just be a bit slower than with the rocket bike. Way over the top, but still, when they let you get used to that stuff, now it's just like oh man I wish I was still able to do that dumb shit
>>1920141Oh yeah and Xilonen, if she didn't regen phlogiston every time you swap characters, it wouldn't have been so broken
How is this bastard still here..?
>>1920117Why do you feel the need to catch up at all? There's no reason to rush through all the new content unless you want to take advantage of the bribe (which my F2P ass resents because my system involves saving new content for next year and working through last year's content instead); it'll be there when you feel like working through it and it'll still be there if you never feel like working through it... the only exception is limited time events. Unfortunately Nod Krai doesn't seem to have much content outside of the story, which isn't really helping things (especially when they wanted to give us a bunch of nothing to force MW). >>1920123It seems like they tried to compensate for that by upgrading the treasure compass. Just revealed how empty the world was and how small the map was imo.
>>1920259Upgrading the treasure compass is just good QoL. Many people use web interactive maps, and they don't want people to feel like they're necessary to explore in depth. They mentioned this when they announced the change, and while they could be just making up a reason after the fact, I do think it makes sense.Nod-Krai is about the same size as Natlan, IMO the problem was getting 2 patches with no map expansions. We should be getting back to back map expansions in 6.3 and 6.4 in exchange so we'll get our bellies filled for a while.
>>1920264>they don't want people to feel like they have to explore in this game designed around exploring the mapthe east has fallen
>>1920362Don't be retarded. They don't want people to use -external tools-, not the explore part.Keep in mind to get the compass to its full power you still need to explore the vast majority of the map, it's only to catch stray stuff you may have missed.
>>1920368>They don't want people to use -external tools-bwo, your official map?
>>1920369official interactive map is still something outside the game.
>>1920370You got me.
How many ascension mats did the Durin thing give this patch? Wondering what number I should stop at for 'bina
>>1920382Those quests always give 6 mats, so you should stop at 40 since you need 46 for lv 90.
>>1920383thanks!
>>1920382You also got extra mats from Theater and the event btw
>>1920385>TheaterI never noticed that the theatre gave ascension mats desu
>>1920388Fugg. That probably explains why I had enough materials to 10/10/10 my Xilonen. She was 9/9/9 already, but I stopped farming after that, so it seemed odd thay I had all those gold mats enough to triple crown her in the inventory.
I hope this is something we can toggle at will, and not a choice you have to make once and for all.
>>1920403You probably can toggle that every time you visit her neetcave. I'll leave the mask on.
>>1920404The thing is, that same text wouldn't make sense if she already has the mask on. Unless it changes.
>>1920405It probably changes.>maskless>"can I have it back?>masked >"can you take care of this?"Or something like that.
>>1920411Hopefully.
>>1920403Considering she keeps her eyes closed outside of the burst, I think I'll keep the mask on
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he4Sz3vh-Zono idea if anyone is into this stuff, but sandrone's jp va is playing genshin for the first time
>>1920025
>>1920264>>1920362The biggest advantage of this new compass is that you finally don't need external websites and hunt for shit when you have 100%, because we all know 100% isn't 100%.Like pic related shows.The way they did it, that you first have to find most things before you get access to this, is nothing but good. The temporary maps before handled it like this, and it was always good there as well.First you explore by yourself. You find most things. Then you get the things you missed. Perfect.
>tfw had another columbina dreamDamn it all. January 14th can't come soon enough...
>>1920568Though there's still a few things that don't come up with the maxed compass but they've all made it into YouTube videos and articles by now
>>1920604Sandrone...
>>1920564I watched most of it, she's literally just like me: instantly getting sidetracked by seeing a random shiny thing.After all those years, seeing the beginning of genshin is strangely nostalgic. I did not expect I'd be still playing this after 5 years. Mond is such a good introduction to the game.
prepare to roll!!!

>>1920982Thanks! Next Sunday is my deadline then.
Paimon, please.
any EU bro with a good box today? mine is shit.
>>1921002Be glad you get anything at all, ZZZ only has in-game photos now and HSR never had birthdays to begin with.
I just redeemed my shit box since none of you fags play the game..............

>>1921488wat?
>>1921488>EUlol, lmao
I have run out of fowl, calla lily and glaze lily and I need more
>>1921507are you new?
>>1921579n-no
>>1921610you can get Liben's boxes from other players' worlds.
>>1921625Interesting. Any reason to do so?
>>1921648The majority of boxes suck, so you can get the good ones every day.
>>1921648NTA, each box givves something different. So maybe you'd want to farm specific materials instead of leaving it to fate
>>1921649>>1921650Didn't know that. Probably also explains why I got 4 world join requests in 10 minutes tpday.
>>1921651pick your poison
>>1921652pyro > cryo > geo > anemo > hudro > electro > dendro>inb4 electro and dendro are free resinDon't need them.
>>1921653I'm almost picking electro just for Bina's books but that's not really helpful at all
>>1921654Already farmed her materials. I'm still low on EXP bopks and even my Mora is at an all time low. At least as far as the last year is concerned.
>>1921652I always go for Cryo and Hydro every year.
Whoa!
>>1921653>exp booksDon't need them. That's a negative resin.
>>1921660
>>1921652I feel like I already know the answer to this because there would surely be a lot of people up in arms if it wasn't, but does every choice have the same resin value?
>>1921682I got curious too so I did the math:They're all pretty much the same value, except for Electro and Dendro.I used the average drop rate for materials per 20 resin, and I converted down the rarities (i.e. a silver book is worth as much as three brown books). For weapon exp, I used the conversion rate of using resin to craft weapon exp i.e. 10 resin per 6 lv 3 crystals. Everything uses the highest domain level/world level possible.Damn, I rolled the bad type of autism.
What does “other characters” mean in IT?

One week left, bros!
>another cryo boxYeah I'm winning
>>1922071wednesday next week.
I want them to add lunar-freeze and lunar-vaporize just so I can play bina until EoS
>>1922284>stay tuned for more detailsI am hoping and coping.
>>1922289That's from the Zibai teaser. That sentence just means "stay tuned for Columbina's teaser", because you have to assume the majority of people haven't read leaks, it'll be the first official reveal of her kit.
>>1922298Ackshually that's from geo-crystallize teaser.
>>1922284You can always play her, just ignore the whalebait endgame.
>>1922284if you have ineffa using them both together will probably be a strong enough core to last until EoS
>be west coast bab>can't play MW with my east coast friends on weeknights anymoreFTGE
>>1922342lol
>>1922342>>1922305Well, fair. I just want them to give her new "gameplay" down the line.
I can't wait to C6 her~
>>1922498Btw, is C6R5 Raiden, C6R1 Bina, C6R2 Furi and C0R1 Ineffa, the ultimate electro-charged team?
>>1922577replace Raiden with Flins. Anything is better than Furina, as she does not buff Flins' damage.
I need Bina. Like, right now.
https://youtu.be/2WlI752qmiQcan't listen to it without hearing the cries of gulls and the drum beats
>>1922577If you don't have flins then swap furina and raiden for Fischl and Mona I guess
need some EU bro to save me from this dogshit box.
>>1922709friendly random ruskie got me.
>>1922601>FlinsI only pulled for females.
>one last 10 pull, maybe THIS time I'll get a Chevy and try building her to c6 the next time her banner comes>It's Xilonen once again, making her c3 making her res shred up to 42% plus a Dehyathis has been the weirdest luck on a banner I've ever had. Maxed out Gaming, c2 Iansan, pulled the banner 4 times, but Chevy, who I had the most hope of pulling for the overload team, just once

are these trailers safe to watch if i'm not caught up[
>>1923126Finish the AQ first
>>1923130Not him, but isn't it like tens of hours? Not a chance to finish it before her release, and I'm also not postponing building her. So I'll have to fight the upcoming and totally unpredictable weekly boss.
>>1923144He didn't say how far behind he was and you could finish all of NK before she releases if you really wanted to (and started today)
did not expect the moon wings to match kokomi
>>1923144>not a chanceBro she's dropping five days from now.
I need to roll.
>>1923161And I'm working 4 of these 5 days :( On the bright side, I'll have the rest of the week off from Wednesday onwards, to spend with my new moo wife~ Btw, Nefer's set for DPS Bina?
>>1923195F-four?! Dammit anon... About her set, I farmed nefer's set for her because I'm going to get C6R1 and I will on-field her. Right now I'm pretty comfortable with what I got so when 6.3 drops I'll farm the new set as her secondary option. I think that nefer's set will be good for her nonetheless as long as you on-field her and slot Lauma on your team
>>1923199Same. Also going for C6R1~ I plan to have her with Lauma and Ineffa. I secretly want to lose on the weapon banner to Ineffa's weapon first.
I saw a picture of Bina's weapon with Neuv's head in the middle and now I can't unsee her weapon as his hair

>>1923516that skank look sullying Djeeta's name
>>1923356cute yoyo
>>1922289>>1922284They will never add new lunar stuff for two reasons:1. Bina's kit is already finished and they won't retroactively give her more stuff2. lunar reactions were meant to buff bad reactions such as bloom, electrocharged and crystallize. Freeze will definitely get some love during Snezhnaya, and we don't need another flavor of Vaporize desu
>Bina's overworld exploration passive revives a fallen teammateSandrone...
>>1923538>they won't retroactively give her more stuff
>>1923538They might return to her in a few years considering archons don't go on the chronicle banner and must remain sellable, like they're currently doing to Venti (and allegedly Zhongli is next if leaker retards are right.)
The title "Tumaini" is pretty cool, ngl.

>>1923775i didn't realize some of them were so bad
>>1923782The "best" one for you depends on what you really need right now but you can't go wrong with Pyro/Cryo/Hydro to be honest. Eventually you'll need books for leveling up characters, and literally everything uses mora so it's always nice to have more.
I just take whatever box is given to me.

>>1924388bina choking on it...
is it tuesday yet...
How many meeting points are we getting in luna4? 3?
>>1924584Three yes.Knights of FavoniusHexenzirkelLightkeepers 2 lol
>>1924587That's three elixirs. Two from IT next month, one from BP and one from extraction. I'll have 32 elixirs to spend on a good set...
>>1924592I still don't know what elixirs and feathers do
>>1924592Keep in mind you can only make 2 artifacts per set per patch.
>>1924596You can generate an artifact of a set, main stat and 2 substats of your choice. This costs elixirs.The feathers serve to both reroll artifacts and to guarantee rolls into specific substats of your choice.
>>1924596You can use from 1 to four* elixirs to craft any artifact piece from any artifact set. You can only craft two artifacts from the same set per patch. Upon creating an artifact, you'll be prompted to choose a mainstat and two substats. The other two substats will be random. Each artifact piece has a different elixir cost: Flowers and feathers (the artifact) cost 1 elixir each, sands cost 2, circlets cost 3 and goblets cost 4. This mechanic allows you to create that missing piece you always needed.On the other hand you can use Feathers (dust of enlightenment) to reroll substats for an already leveled up artifact. Each arti piece has a different dust cost: flower and feathers cost 1 dust to reroll and the other three pieces cost 2 to reroll. There are some extra mechanics to this but just think about dust as a rerolling mechanic.>>1924598I'm a gigaretard who's going to build both on-field and off-field Columbina so I need everything I can get!

How the fuck do I build 'bina? Does she want EM subs? HP HP crit? What set?
is she asking me to netflix and chill
I almost hope I lose a 50/50 going for Bina so I can get C6 Mona after this.
>>1924690Mainstats: HP HP CritSubs: ER Crit HP. EM is negligibleWhich set will depend on the role you want her to play: On-field will use Nefer's set, off-field will use either Serenade or the new Moon set, depending on if you already have someone holding Serenade, or if you're C0 or >=C2 (Serenade = C0, the new Moon set for C2 or above)Weapons will also vary depending on her role. Her signature weapon is her BiS in every situation but you can pick a good F2P weapon for her, like Widsith for on-field, P.Amber or Blackmarrow (Nodkrai craftable) for off-field. Which role do you want to play her as and how many rolls are you investing on her?
She’s coming
>>1924746What the fuck lmao
>>1924721>Which role do you want to play her as and how many rolls are you investing on her?I can't answer that without asking questions of my own first. What does she even do? Lauma pulses of damage + Nahida buffing domain? What team comps use her on field? I'll probably use her C0 in teams with Zibai, Nefer, Lauma. Why is everyone saying her Ineffa wheelchair is apocalyptically good?
>>1924746General consensus I've seen is that it's fake. No one has been able to replicate it and the alternate language versions uses the wrong name/characters for her.
>>1924758>What does she even do?I won't write her whole kit here, but she basically enables and enhances every lunar reaction while having a nefer-like charged attack gameplay, albeit a bit weaker than nefer herself (obviously, you can't have nefer getting powercreeped after two patches)Casting her E will give her a lauma-like hydro AoE that follows the character. Her burst summons a lunar field that further enhances lunar reactions.>ZibaiI don't know much about Zibai herself but lunar-crystallize is pretty fun to play with Bina from what I saw>Nefer, LaumaBina is actually cracked for Nefer+Lauma since Bina's burst gives you 3 extra verdant dew as a different resource, so you can hold E with Lauma and get the full buffs.>Why is everyone saying her Ineffa wheelchair is apocalyptically good?Their synergy is amazing since they buff each other (Ineffa's passive + Bina's entire kit).Their setup is pretty straightforward too, EQ Bina + EQ Ineffa, watch everything die to their combined lunar charged nukes.>on-field compsThe main archetype here is lunar-bloom teams: you simply swap her for Nefer in Nefer teams for example. On-field Bina main damage will come from lunar blooms so Lauma is key to making this comp work. The other two characters can be Nahida, Nilou, Kokomi, the usual suspects.Or you can give her her own wheelchair treatment and play lunar-charged and keep her on field. It's not as effective as her lunar-bloom teams but it definitely works. Lunar-charged can be a "taser" variant like Bina, Ineffa, Fischl & Sucrose. Last but not least, you can play her with lunar-crystallize and pick Chiori/Albedo and Ineffa and still make it work.
>>1924772Thank you. Any teams for my girl Noelle? I'll even consider pulling the clanker for a double geo double hydro maidmaxx team.
>1924790Oops, I mean just double hydro, which sounds pretty terrible because Hoyo still refuses to let Noelle generate geo particles.
>>1924790Noelle has pretty strong options with Lunar Crystallize given the way her geo application works. Double hydro double geo is probably your best bet given Bina's application can be too slow to keep up in some contexts and Noelle needs particles. Soluna and WintoLose both played around with it in their Bina CES videos if you want more ideas.
I wasted my gacha luck on this, FUCK
>>1924809Lunar Crystallize Noelle is not worth it. She's already extremely hard to build since she wants so many stats (Crit, DEF, ER), and adding EM to the mix is overall a DPS loss due to losing the others.
>>1925035EM doesn't play a huge part in Lunar-reactions with the exception of Lunar-bloom.
>>1925040Only Crit and EM affect the reaction, and it does affect it a very good amount, but the load is shared between the team much like Lunar Charged. ´The characters that do direct reaction damage have an added DEF/HP/ATK modifier to it, but that isn't the case in here.It's not worth tossing away Furina for a Lunar team here.
>>1925045You're right, that was an oversight on my part, my bad. A-at least you can put Noelle in the premium wheelchair bineffa comp...
>>1925049Ehhh, Noelle definitely won't have the ER to have her burst every rotation there...You can put them on Favonius but they won't be wheelchairing people around anymore.
damn, I wanted to meat Seamus but I guess this means he has the chance to not be a generic NPC model.
>>1925054Can't wait for him to go "You're the hope of our bloodline" and want us to breed his daughters.
>>1925045Could always just use both Furina and Bina though.
>>1925066It's not going to work.Your 4th necessarily needs to be a geo battery.Bina's not going to do a lot of damage since you're at most using 2 NK artifact sets in the party, plus you need 2x Moonsign for her artifacts to even work.All three of Furina, Noelle and Bina also need a fair bit of energy and both Noelle and Bina don't generate any. It's all on the 4th man.So given the restrictions: Illuga's the only choice... but his main buff doesn't do anything for anyone since he only buffs attacks that deals Lunar Crystallize damage (only Zibai), just gives a sprinkle of Crit and EM through his talents.He's just there to make Columbina useable. And that makes the whole team DPS go down a good notch.
Getting back into Genshin TCG after 4 years feels very refreshing.Other digital TCG games in the market like Pokémon, Yugioh and Magic are either very expensive or require you to play everyday to not lose FOMO.Genshin itself isn't any different, but the TCG part has zero FOMO. Very relaxing.
What did they mean by this?
>>1925132Presumably it's closest to the edge of the false sky/western borders of the dome.Hence why the Wild Hunt can get in so easily
>>1925146Ohh yeah, the dome. The eggshell. The fake sky is like a snowglobe, not a ball inside a ball.
>tfw we need at least 6-7 weeks to max Bina's talents>I want to play her on-field so even her attack is relevant to level upI guess I'll die
>>1925166Hope you got solvents, Anon. And the first clear rewards will help cut that down a bit.
>>1925182Kneel before your king.Also that 6-7 number already accounts for the first clear rewards: You need 16 mats for triple crowning a character and I'm accounting for 13.
I need my boy Rerir to make another appearance
>>1925070I'm totally expecting Noelle to be a janky substitute for Zibai + Illuga. Xilonen is good support option and she outputs a shit ton of energy with fav but I'm not sure if Furina and 'bina would get enough. Also not sure about how much 'bina's performance drops with her being the sole NK character and set holder. There is hydro (and geo) resonance tho!
>>1925070You don't really need the NK resonance to do Lunar Crystallize shenanigans with Noelle though, do you? It'll limit your Bina's AOE hydro application a bit, but that's not necessarily a death knell for the team. Maybe if you wanna minmax artifact sets or something, but I think the goal is spam Lunar crystallize (hell, Zhong is a strong contender for that second geo slot in some of those showcases)

Imagine if Jahoda reran with Bina. Haha, that would be very silly.
hopefully stygian doesn't require four teams next year because that will be very evilVERY evil
>do some artifact farming>get jumpscared by Jahoda
>>1925303No one around to stop me from raping.
>>1925227>Also not sure about how much 'bina's performance drops with her being the sole NK character and set holderThe artifacts don't work at all without Ascendant Gleam. You'd need to put her on Golden Troupe or something.>>1925231You need NK resonance for the artifacts to work.Without the artifacts' bonuses, you have zero way to increase the reaction damage other than EM and Crit.You can't run EM on Noelle.
What's the worst possible combination of 4*s Bina banner could have? Xinyan, Candace, Thoma?
>>1925383The 4* church guy and Mika are also good contenders for "wow this sucks"

Remember to spoiler your datamine info, retards.
>>1925305
>>192542540 primos btw
preload is up, what are the odds of a crashout from the story spoilers?
first half 4 stars are fischl, sethos and ifasecond half 4 stars are illuga, gorou and aino.
ganyu's english VA was recast.
See you guys in a week when I'm done the AQ!Good luck on your pulls
>>1925474Good riddance. Every single fucker who refused to work does not deserve to have their role back.
>>1925465Trash 4*s, everyone has c6 fish and who cares about sethos and ifa?Mine are still c0 so it will take a while to get them to c6. My masterless...
>>1925465>fischlgood for newcomers but almost everybody has c6 by now>sethoswho cares>and ifaI guess useful if you're still in Natlan>second half 4 stars are illuga, gorou and aino.lmao.I hope Sandrone is even better than Zibai.
>>1925465Well, not terrible. I could certainly use Fischl and Ifa cons (think Sethos is C6 though). Looks like the 4 stars put Zibai firmly in the skip category though. >>1925687Aren't they saying Sandrone is gonna be electro now?
See you guys next week! I can't get spoilers for this patch!
do i give columbina sacrificial jake or prototype amber
r/fatuihq posters and their ilk will NEVER recover from this archon quest, it is unironically completely over for them and they are going to shit up every single discussion about the story on every corner of the internet until EoS, assuming they don't all kill themselves. a totally expected crash out.
will r/HeavenlyPrinciples end up like r/FatuiHQ
>>1925465I want both weapons, and I genuinely can't wait to R5 Fischl's bow~
Looks like Phanes is an AI built to find a planet to terraform and make liveable for the Travelers' species, as it was part of an ark carrying genetic data for their race, likely to be Celestia. Due to the extremely long space journey, which put an incredible load on its emotional/thought module, said emotions were sealed (The Travelers were in stasis during travel so they were fine).Which makes sense that the P.A.I.M.O.N mails we receive are written that way, because it's a clanker acronym in reality, while our Paimon is the sealed emotions.
>>1925901I too love xenogears
>>1925239>C6 EulerI have a dream

hope this doesn't mean mond expac is going to be on 6.6 after (again) 2 empty patches.
>>1926217sandrone?
>>1926218What about it?
>>1926219i thought she die...
>>1926220She does, but she's not human so there's numerous ways to bring her back.
they blocked the hole in the map where you can slip out of bounds in
>>1926220dottore "kills" her, but arlecchino tells the traveler that she is taking sandrone's damaged puppet body to the fontaine research institute the end of the archon quest as that is what sandrone asked her to do in the event of her "death", and arlecchino also states that sandrone is the kind of person to always have a backup plan. my personal schizo theory is that she is going to merge with the lyris mary-ann from annapausis.
>>1926217well we are gonna know in like 48 hours if 6.4 is dornman port or not, all the leakers are saying that is the case, and there is still at least one more nod-krai expansion because the 6.3 patch doesn't give us enough oculi to finish off the statue.
should i still get ineffa
What happens after this?

>>1926461i just wonder how its gonna look since she has an alternate sprint animation.
>>1926461Oh fuck. I forgot I have never gotten to give her a proper EoSF :( Although I've got enough pieces to upgrade, and can even cobble together the entire set from other characters. Poor Ayaya, I need to take care of her.
>>1926465That's actually a really good question. They could change the ice smoke that trails the ice pool I guess.
>>1926465I love this skin, but I wish it kept her ponytail.

what the fuck? an actual sale?
>>1927265This seems silly, you spend 30 bucks, you save 1,5. I don't think people who are willing to throw away money at this thing care if it's marginally cheaper. Or maybe I'm wrong and suddenly a bunch of f2ps start spending money
>>1927288yeah, 5% is nothing, but i don't recall a single official sale from hoyo at all in 5 years of the game
>>1927265Yes, and it works through the Android HoYoLAB application too. Android allows all types of payment processors, and this bypasses the PlayStore fee. I just got Ineffa's weap :^)
>>1927005They should go like this at least, the fuckers got me hyped up for nothing.

I know how columbina works but at this point I have no idea how her lunar charged are dealing 100k+ damage
>>1927899I've no idea how she works but I like seeing purple number go brr with ineffa
>>1927837i doubt it, im pretty sure katheryne and ayaka have the same english VA. maybe she just wasn't available so they had someone else fill in the single line.
What's the cope weapon for columbina? fav? that recent event weapon?

Bro is literally me
>>1928061its understandable. any man would do the same.
>>1928061
Holy bike~
>>1928079Skirkussy, I kneel~
>>1928083I guess I could use Mona in my Skirk team too but Layla is cuter and comfier.
>>1928085I usually use Kokofishe instead of Mona. Kokofishe is qt~
this archon quest
>>1928067Yeah.. look at them antlers.
>Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds (two copies, but one is on Mona)>Solar Pearl>Blackcliff Agate>The Widsith R5 (multiple R5 copies)Between Varesa and Wanderer, which one to give to whom?>inb4 don't lewd the cow
>>1928079I wonder how accurate those early rotation check stages are. I still have to test them myself.
>>1928079>>1928083the best part about these new dps check wonderlands is that people are now realizing that simply doing what theorycrafters tell you doesn't actually get you sheet-dps and their spreadsheet 120k dps teams are actually 90k dps teams in practice.
>>1928179Total spreadsheet impact death
>>1928067Would cocogoat 2 get along with cocogoat 1
>>1928187she got along with fire-goat, so she would probably get alone with cryo-goat.
Eek! She has eyes! And doesn't even blink!
>>1928179>>1928184dangerously based
miliastra crafters have dealt a fatal blow to spreadsheet crafters
>>1928191how do I tell her to keep her eyes open
>>1928197You have to marry her first
>>1928198sorry I'm already taken
>>1928197She said she'd open her eyes when it's worth it, so I guess you're not there yet.
>>1928191Kek
I just finished reading it and I'm sad again
>>1928239
so how do I wheelchair effectively? stack EM and then just Ineffa E Bina Q and then use other team mates?
>>1928276you need other stats like crit to make it work, and you also need Bina's E igbut yeah, use their stuff then swap
>>1928139Widsith r5 to both, lost prayer if you want to zoom around.
Does crit rate and damage from lunar reaction affected by character's stats or it's a fixed number? Bina is my first lunar reaction character so I don't know.
>>1928291Lunar charged and crystallize take into account the stats (crit, em, level) of every character involved in the reaction. The higher damage accounts gor 50%, the second higher for 25% i believe and the third and fourth are 8% or something
>>1927185I unironically clapped. also that means we're still inside/below the fake sky, right? the moon is now inside the dome too and the space isn't red
>>1928295Yes, they pulled the moon into the firmament through the hole that Dottore opened
>>1928295yes, columbina says quite plainly that the new moon is inside the firmament. a lot of people seem confused by this because of how inconsistent the distance to the firmament is presented by the game, but that is mostly down to artistic direction, it changes distance because of rule of cool. mavuika blasting a hole in the fake sky would have been extremely comical if we had to watch it fly all the way through outer space for several minutes to hit the firmament so they just decided it would be at just above cloud level instead, just like when dottore rips open the sky, its just above cloud level there too, but really only because they wanted it to look cool during the fight.
>>1927740Fighting a new regional boss in 4 player co-op while no one has any idea what to do is one of my favorite things in this game.
what happened to the old moon inside the false sky? and was that the "welkin moon"?
>>1928307it was an illusion, so it vanished when the real moon entered the firmament. columbina is the welkin moon.
>>1928310another thing i don't get is who made columbina? since she isn't any one of the three moons
Does the glitch effect at the end imply that Dottore altered history like Scaramouche did? That screen effect almost always seems to be related to Irminsul shenanigans (except for the end of Inazuma's AQ but we don't talk about that quest).
>>1928318no clue, but something i found weird was that we completed the same quest twice... never seen that before i think. i forgot if the glitched one came first though.
>>1928321The glitch effect was the second time, after Varka's letter to Jean.
>>1928316its unclear, the game seems to be implying that she created herself through time shenanigans because the song she sings when she destroys her own body in the moon's reflection in order to be reborn in the future is the same song that she told the traveler she heard when she was born and is the only thing she remembers from the moment of her birth, but i wouldn't be surprised if the writers made it deliberately obtuse on purpose because writing time travel stories is hard and the more you try to explain it, the more they tend to fall apart.
>>1928329wait, i just remembered somethingdidn't they say that nibelung tried to make a 4th moon but it failed, and the pieces of it fell in the ocean and is what nod krai is now? so maybe she is the 4th moon that was never born somehow since she is nod-krai?
>>1928334They really hammer it home that Columbina is the successor to the Frost Moon though. She is connected to it, she can sense it beyond the firmament, and Canon herself talks about it. Bina's birth is a bit of a time paradox so I think it's best to not get hung up on the specifics of it
didn't el dottore take two gnoses from nahida in sumeru, he didn't use them?
>>1928338They're probably on Pierro's chessboard.Also the Moon Marrows grant authority over the laws of Teyvat, whereas the gnosis only grants the authority over an element.Also Dottore's the kind of guy that would be bored of experimenting with the same materials twice.
>>1928339that makes sense, the three moons power is stronger than the gnoses anyway right
>>1928338no, i assume they got handed over to pierro or the tsaritsa. he didn't really need them anyway, since the trilune authority is significantly stronger the gnoses. having all three moons power means he had access to all 4 shades powers, life, death, time and space. at that point the gnoses would essentially be nothing but toys to him.
i didn't expect to actually meet the 3 moon goddesses, what the fuck
Trying to understand the plot made me go cross eyed.
>>1928374Sonnet is cute, I like her.
>>1928374>>1928436I'm glad they didn't get the NPC treatment.
i knew the arrow of terpikeraunas was a weapon to fight the abyss, but it being a giant fucking light energy railgun was not on my bingo card. the ancient hyperboreans were really just built fucking different. the pre-war of the funerary flames teyvat must have been a wild place technology wise.
>>1927821NK > Fontaine > Inazuma > Natlan = Sumeru > Mondstadt > Liyue
new loom is top cuteI hope the outfit becomes the default appearance in cutscenes
>>1928584Unfortunately the world quests still have her with the old outfit. I don't know if they're doing it for everything after or maybe just archon quests.
Ded by a mushroom. What an absolute baka!Although seriously, I wonder if I should report it as a bug, or maybe it's just intended behaviour.
>>1928645KEKKKKKKKKKKK
>>1928645I just reported the issue, btw.
>>1928645Moon Goddess-sama...
>>1928645she's just not used to teyvat's gravity...
ok soteyvat was a dragon planet and there were no humans before phanes came before phanes, nibelung made 3 moons to govern planetand the 3 moons look human for what reason?also why did they skip over the first war in their little history explanation
>>1928760the three moons are actually moons in the sky, the huge chunks of rocks. the moon goddesses are something like their avatar; someone that embodies their powers, capabilities and such. think of it like a command hub. I assume it was easier to talk to/program the moons to do whatever nibelung wanted them to if they have an actual body, instead of literally talking to the moon I guess
>>1928766that makes sense, but then wouldn't they look like dragons? something like kukulkan maybe. although, one explanation i can think of is that after phanes came and won vs the dragons, the moon avatars got modified by phanes.
>>1928760>>1928766I assume the Moon Goddesses chose a human form after they decided to work with the HP just to make it easier.Their original forms were probably like my nwah Kukulkan.And yeah the moons were made by Nibby to uphold Teyvat's laws while he was out on his space adventure looking for a way to save the planet from the disaster that Voyager told him about.
Apparently people found some references to Steam being added to the hoyoverse account siteI hope they do because I'd love an official way to play on my Steam Deck
>>1928768one thing i found weird was how the moon goddesses said stuff like"we did not reject them (HP) at first, nor did they seem to harbor ill-intent towards this world" and "we coexisted in peace, they were like a guest in our home", when lore tells us that phanes went to war with the native dragons and conquered the planet
hatguy really turned into hatGPT
>>1928776I've been asking them for a Linux client since Steam Deck got released. If they release it, I'm literally bidding farewell to Winblows on my PC as well, and moving to Linux. Ideally SteamOS will be available by then. I don't want a tranny distro.
>>1928011>MUHThank Bike and Skirkussy~
The moon... WILL NEVER BE YOURS!!!
>>1928783Heheh
You can do your second run for Winter Iceleas. Level up your Binas~
>>1928842>Level up your BinasIs this enough?
bro is called bob
>>1928780i take their statement to mean that they (the moon sisters) didn't choose sides during the first war, when phanes first arrived and fought the 7 dragon sovereigns. before sun and moon specifically only mentions phanes fighting the dragons, not the dragons and the moon sisters, but before sun and moon was also written by a human several hundred years after the fact, after the war of funerary flame, so it may not even be an accurate retelling of what actually happened because as far as we know humans didn't even exist on teyvat yet during the first war, so humanity would only know what the moon sisters, the angels, the heavenly principles and the shades told them.
>>1928849Nicole and the Moon Sisters did both say that they took a cautious approach since Phanes didn't seem to be directly hostile to Teyvat, more just pragmatically trying to reuse what they could, until resistance was met
>>1928845>mfwAlready Raiden, Skork and the Bike are at lvl 100. I'm really torn between Bina, Furi, Yelan, Arlemommy and my beloved Jean :S
>after you finish the latest AQ, not only the in-game moon in the sky swaps to the real moon, but also the moon in the night version of the main screenKino. KINOOOOOOO
What are on-field Bina's best LC teams? My moon goddess is C2R1 and I do have Ineffa.
Why did Sandrone sense the two moons that are gone. She said it wasn't the Marrows, right? Was it just cause of Columbina appearing soon?
>>1928908>soonIt wasn't "soon", they were there all along. Columbina hid the three lunar authorities inside the frost moon at the beginning of the timeline, that's why Sandrone kept detecting three moons.
>>1928911Oh okay. Thanks, thats the part of it I missed.
gradient numbers go brrrrrrrr
>>1928913Time travel shenanigans are always tricky
>>1928915I love seeing a billion numbers show up on screen if it's slower to kill things than my skork
>>1928905likely Lauma, Ineffa and maybe Sucrose
Does this mean that I have to play for 20 days straight to get the maid outfit?
Finally the cavalry captain has his horses...
>>1928928Yes.
guys the damage test thing in miliastra actually works and apparently my ganyu team is at least 2 times worse than my nefer team
>>1928950im sorry for your loss
>>1928950>ganyu team is at least 2 times worse than my nefer teamno shit
>>1928950good thing it doesn't matter unless you're a metafag.
>>1928928Nah, you've just gotta hit 20 days of 40.And also you've gotta spread them out a bit, because of that 5 per week thing.So if you do 5 days in a row, then ignore it for 2, and then repeat; then you'll get it the soonest you can.
You know this AQ made me realize that Columbina is some kind of eldritch horror based on what happened in the colours out of space quest
>>1928941>>1928966Gotcha, thanks!
>>1928950I recently got Bina and while I was testing her teammates, I decided to check the DPS of my old teams. My Raiden team deal 40% less damage than my new Bina and my old Mav teams. Raiden can still clear endgame content but it was pretty funny seeing that... As the other guy said it doesn't really matter. Though, having the clarity of your actual DPS is nice, specially if you can't choose between different artifact sets and etc.
>on-field Bina is a Nefer with 3 reaction types instead of 1
Which way, white man?
>>1929248I choose a different path.
>>1929248I like Sonnet the most.
>>1929248hnggggg luv me moon hagstwhat happened to them in the end?
>>1929268Without the moon authorities, they were free to leave the moon's reflection. But without the authorities they would just wither away and die. since they asked Bina to send them back to their world, I assume they got sent back to post-war Teyvat and then they spent the rest of their lives (how long?) living as normal people
>>1929271>>1929268their souls got locked to moon marrows once out and are still there as dead, Sonnet in the abyss trapped marrow talked about dying as their souls split apart with their moons and is the one who referred to present Columbina as "Hypo"although who knows where the fuck Canon went. Maybe caught by Dottore for the artificial marrow as byproduct of switching human souls into animals
>>1929293Ohh right, I forgot about the Moon Marrows.
>>1929248Still haven't played the quest, but I'd say: blond > red > blue just based on looks.
I was under the assumption that the Wild Hunt was the Abyss manifesting itself from Rerir's fragments. Is that wrong?

>>1929337What's the deadline to post them? I want to level up both my Columbina and Ineffa first.
>>1929329In Luna IV we learn that Kuuvahki is in fact, Columbina's body.That means:>Rerir's body is made of Columbina's flesh, since Rerir's body was remade with Kuuvahki>Columbina lives rent-free in Rerir's head... literally>Rerir has 2 women inside him (Tholindis & Columbina)>Aino's cannon shoots little pieces of Columbina as ammunition>Radiant Beasts appear to be the Kuuvahki edition of Consecrated Beasts, which mutated due to eating the corpse of a god. Radiant Beasts probably mutated due to Kuuvahki i.e. Columbina's corpse>Columbina's body is highly mutagenic/radioactive>If Kuuhenki are made from Kuuvahki, it suggests pieces of Columbina's body can... spontaneously gain sentienceIs Columbina talking to herself when she talks to a Kuuhenki?>The Fatui researchers that died in the Colors Out of Space /Nothing Passage quest were eaten by pieces of Columbina that spontaneously gained sentience and decided to eat human flesh>Some people like Kaarina (NPC from in Luna I) have "congenital kuuvahki sensitivity".They are allergic to Kuuvahki... and probably allergic to Columbina
>>1929339Don't worry anon, just take your time.I'm gonna keep collecting them until it resets next month.In case you might miss me, just send yours to the jotform link and I'll collect it there.Thank you!
>>1929340Is this Dawei's way of writing Bina as a cosmic horror creature just like the headcanon people wanted her to be?
>>1929342Basically yeah, she unknowingly saved Rerir too, since his body is technically hers, it didn't get shredded when it went through the Moon Gate like Tholindis's
>>1929341Got it! Thank you for your hard work o7
>>1929343I wish I had Bina inside of me...
What a baddie
WQ spoilers.That was so cool. Absolute cinema.
>>1929342It's funny to think that Lauma's blood naturally contains anti-Columbina properties since it can help heal people with kuuvahki sickness
>>1929409Genshin's final boss
>>1929409Finally we got Mondstadt's fabled cavalry...
So Ineffa wants the new lunar set and bina wants the silken moon one?
>>1929436generally yes
>>1929436Your option is the best option in that team, but is far less "generalist".This because you only want to have one of each NK set in a team, and outside of Ineffa none of the other Lunar supports want Morningstar, which is a problem if you want to slot Columbina in non-Ineffa teams.
>>1929376Guess these pre-rendered cutscenes are the main reason they can't show the new outfit. People may have not cleared the story yet.Which means we're still going to see old loom all over Snezhnaya world quests.
>>1929451hopefully its only for this patch, because they cant guarantee when people will do the archon quest, some people save it for last, some people do it immediately.
>>1929451>>1929452I've seen some people reporting that their Traveler shifts back and forth between costumes in some quests (ex. the sculpting quest to unlock the Witch reputation)So it's possible that it's just bugged (outside of pre-rendered because they're definitely not making 4 versions of every cutscene)
>>1929455I did story first and foremost so I've been doing all quests and exploration post-outfit, and yes they do swap around.How it seems to work is that quest cutscenes = old outfit, but if it's just standard NPC dialogue = new outfit.So as an example: If you talk to Illuga and he starts a quest, you'll do all of that cutscene in the old outfit, but if you talk to him after you regain control, it'll be in the new outfit.They might be coded differently. Well, I do hope they deal with it in any case as you said.
One day you go to Inazuma and see this. What do?
>>1929457
>>1929457coulda helped us out a little in nodkrai...
>>1929457add wanderer's ring when he flies
The buff that Bina gives us is nice and all but can we have the Aino Hydro Traveler buff permanently instead?
>going through quest log>where the fuck did this Fontaine quest come from?>wait this is voiced?>why is Neuvillette's voice so quiet, I can barely hear him?>oh hey Pahsiv! I guess I'm glad they didn't shoehorn it into Lantern Rite like I was expecting
red faced sister victoria running down the Mondstadt streets in fury and screaming "SORTIE THE KNIGHTS! ARM THE MILITIA! MAXIMUM TITHES FOR BARBATOS! CUT OFF THE BLASPHEMER HEADS!!"
I love bina
what do we do now
>>1929456Quest models != gameplay models. Easiest example is Mona with her censored design being in any and all quests, regardless of you using her uncensored one.This implies that any and all quests have specifically used "skins" for every char appearing in it, and it fully ignores your gameplay choices. It's lame, but Genshin has a lot of these issues that make you remember how scuffed this game is (and how old).
>>1929615Impregnate Sonnet
Nicole is such a yapper and we all love her for it
>>1929552I also did not expect it to be voiced.
why does my traveler keep changing outfits in dialogue....
>>1929704I assume it's bugged.
iansan jumpscare
holy
>>1929704NPC model Traveler used for dialog/cutscenes
I got C6 Ifa from the bina banneris Bina, Ineffa, Ororon, Ifa a good wheelchair team?
No way bro
>>1929745Ifa's actually really strong there, don't feel bad. That's a solid team anon.
>>1929785Would he be better than Sucrose though? I guess he has the benefit of being a healer and there really isn't a hex healer right now
>>1929789Yes because Ifa's talent directly increases the team's Lunar-Charged and Electro-Charged damage, which beats a simple EM buff + TTDSHe's much better than her in this specific position.
>>1929791thanks anon
So Columbina has the trilunar authority and gave away the Iridescent Moon's marrow to Arlecchino. Does that mean Arlecchino will be able to use the Iridescent Moon's authority in the future? Or is it just a stat booster for her?Or is there no answer and we shouldn't think too hard about it
>>1929815Unlike the Heavenly Thrones and Gnoses, I don't think there's a strong connection between the Marrows and their Authority.I could be wrong in the future.
>>1929819>>1929815Didn't Arle hold the Iridescent Moon Marrow for a bit during an earlier AQ? I assume it is just a stat boost.
>>1929819>>1929820I assumed she'd be able to do something with it considering Dottore holding the marrows let him access their authorities, though maybe it only fully worked because had 3 marrows (even if one was fake).
Sonnetbros...
>>1929863retard-kun...
>>1929863speedreader..........
>>1929863genshin players will NEVER beat the allegations.
>>1929863>
what fucking app uses square brackets for spoilers anyways
welp https://hut.ao/
I had to give morning star to bina instead of ineffa because lol artifact rng
>>1929932As long as you have both sets on the same team, aren't they interchangeable? Like both girls can use either set.
>>19299174chanXT, choose the text you want to cover, hit Ctrl S
>>1929934does morning star affect the full team? the wording made it sound like it only affects the wearer
>>1929939It only affects the wearer. AFAIK, Ineffa with morning star and Bina with Silken Moon is 2%-8% better than the opposite, but at that point, it all boils down to having the right mainstats and substats. Since you already have a good Bina morning star, might as well run it!
>>1929943>2%-8%oh that's much lower than I was expecting
arlecchino should get lunar melt and lunar vape she has the damn marrow
>>1929946lunar freeze and rimegrass when
>>1929943All nodkrai sets have a secondary effect that affects the whole team and gets stronger the more unique sets are present.So ideally you always want all of Night Sky, Silken Moon and Morningstar in a team.
i went through all my team presets and i basically swapped out furina for columbina 10 timeswhat now
>>1929957You swap Nahida in those teams with Lauma, and Fischl with Ineffa.
Bina LOVE
>>1930125If I dig a hole in nod-krai and stick my dick in it am I technically fucking Columbina?
Is C1 a good stopping point for Ineffa if I already have her weapon?
when you use Bina, the kuuhenki get an aditional pair of smol wings~
my schizo theory is that Dottore put his mind into Polonia's core and his original plan was to put it in the Traveler's body in an attempt to claim their Descenderness.Why else would they spend so much time in the mind swap experiment bubble
>\ hides the UIwhat the fuck? has this always been in the game?5 years of shit screenshots in limited domains...
>>1930173It was introduced some time during 4.x or 5.x.
How long is Act VIII compared to Act VII? Skipbabs need not respond.
>>1930207act 7: 3 hoursact 8: 4 hours
travel log thing is cool but why doesn't it show world quests?
>>1930133Cute!!
holy smokes my zhongli got buffed
>>1930173The biggest problem is that there's still no way to enable that outside of the settings menu if you're on controller.So if you disable it during a domain, you cannot reenable it without leaving.
guys i think the lore is peak
>spreadsheet impacters when the miliastra test dummy continues to destroy their credibility with the communityeveryone finding out their theoretical 120k+ dps teams are actually 60-80k dps teams in practice because of things like ping, rotation timing not perfectly matching the simulation, or the combos simply being too difficult to reliably pull off has been an enlightening experience to the community.
>>1930781They're all delusional. They'll never drop their spreadsheets, and will never stop pulling for that character they don't like that hits 120k. Therapy.
>>1930781I tested one of my teams and it was doing way less damage than the spreadsheetimpact peopleand then I cleared abyss with it and got my primos and remembered >chasing meta in a p2w gacha
>>1930781spreadsheet says 170k dps but i did 220k dps in miliastra, shit makes no sense
>>1930800the actual bar for clearing 99.9% of the game's content is like 80k dps, which basically every dps in the game can hit with the right supports and some decent artifacts, but spreadsheeters constantly spreading the idea that if a new dps doesn't do 120-140k dps out the gate they are dogshit has done immeasurable damage to the community. you really only need that much dps for something like dire stygian onslaught, and that doesn't give you any real meaningful rewards, just bragging rights weapon skins.
blame whales who cried for years about abyss not being hard enough
>Scaramouche's body is based on puppets built in Khaenriah>there are no other examples of these puppetsreally makes you think
>>1930805they have terminal autism and they need to optimize everything to feel validated. Being a "casual" is an insult because it belittles the hundreds of hours they've invested in this video game.
>>1930781Spreadsheeters? More like spreadSHITTERS lmao
I'm having a hard time on-fielding Bina. How do I properly dash cancel her charged attacks?
>>1930889Aren't ypu just supposed to hold the attack button? At least when you use a Dendro character with her.
>>1930904I think so? But I remember that during her leaks, I read something about a charged attack dash cancel tech that's supposed to be amazing since her charged attacks don't consume stamina.Oh yeah I forgot to mention: this is for lunar-bloom.
the railgun was kinda dumb but in a cool way
Do we know anything about Lauma's rerun timing yet?
>>1930933Maybe 6.5 since Flins is next patch
>>1930938I guess that was a good reminder to check the leaks for the 6.4 banners. For anyone else who missed it, it's looking like Varka + Flins, Escoffier + Skirk (if they got that route, that weapon banner is going to be pretty damn good). Pretty easy to plan around for now too.
I feel like I'm missing something really obvious hereMaybe I'm retarded but I don't see any way to activate the ruin guards even with the kuuvhaki bulb thingie
>>1930925You're kinda dumb in a cool way.
Will be nice to not have to use a third party program to play on my steam deck
>>1931000any benefit for switching to steam on PC i wonder
>>1931003using steambucks and enriching gaben.
>>1931003autistically tracking your playtime
>>1931010Nta but I already do it through Starward...
oh no genshin is gonna show up on steamcharts
>>1931018PvP against WuWa charts incoming
>>1931022they're cooked....
>>1931025genshin will probably get cooked in the reviews.
i just realized that a team of playable harbingers can now walk into raiden's home and kill signoraagain and again and again!!
>>1931036we could have a nice tea party with rosalyn
my lil sis kept shouting so i went to check on her and guess what it was the moon goddesses on her screen
>>1931037
>>1931043not in this domain, the tenshukaku tea party :)
>>1931033that's to be expected, its not really gonna stop people from playing.
>>1931003can uninstall hoyoplay, probably, hopefully...
Regrator sounds like a fanboy of Reed Miller...
>>1931042Based
>>1930975this is late, but i had to throw the bulb at the chest, not the golems
wife
>>1930805They need to fuck while I watch, satisfied.
I really don't understand what Rotwang was trying to do.I feel like I must have missed something important during that whole quest series
>>1930805Its weird for people to whine about that since it just invites powercreep.
>>1931244yeah but that is their insane stance, if a character's premium team is weaker than mavuika melt its dogshit and an automatic skip, if a character's premium team is as strong or stronger than mavuika melt its powercreep and ruining the game because it invalidates other teams in the meta. they are upset either way because they are mentally ill.
>>1931260>yuri spammerboth are mentally ill
>>1931276at least im mentally ill about women and not excel spreadsheets
>>1931276Yuri is based because it makes it hotter when they fall for the dick.
>>1931277based and same
who here /welkinmaxxing/ :^)
>>1931367I did that for Jean's skin 5 years go kek...
>>1931367>>1931368Nowadays I do the opposite. Don't tell anyone, but when your welkin is close to expiring, you get a mail with 1000 mora telling you how many days you have left. It's basically free mora.
>>1931367i only buy one at a time
what
>>1931455
>>1931367I wait for the google opinion rewards surveys to give me enough money to buy welkinsI'll never spend my own money
I wonder if part of the Tsaritsa's plan was to have Dottore burn Irminsul with Arlecchino's flames and then remake it using Scara's core as a new foundation/seed
>>1930616It's been peak since Before the Sun and MoonCall me when Heavenly Principles wakes up, shit will be hitting the fan for real
>70 wishes>lose the 50-50I knew it, I knew I wasted all my luck on the xilonen banner
Why is she like this?
>>1931618
>>1931625sex
>>1931618Now imagine what this brat does to Lauma's mammaries
>>1931662she (and Nefer) gets tied up and watches ME fuck Lauma good instead and Lauma worships ME instead
>>1931667Ineffa...
>'bina hates Neuvsad!
Her best artifact set is NotSU? Isn't the EM a waste on Geo?
did sandrone die on her own birthday
>>1931678>Isn't the EM a waste on Geo?On regular Geo teams it is, but Lunar-Crystallize scales like Lunar-Charged so you want that EM.
Do NOT open.
>>1931695what the fuck, anon
that GOD DAMN REGRATOR where are the primogems I needI'm gonna take 'em all from his fucking safe once I land in Snezhnaya!
f-for me?!
Sometimes I like doing my abyss run starting from floor 1 and slowly climb up/down to 12
>>1931728don't you just nuke everything from 1-11
>>1931730Yeah. I don't know why I do it.
>>1931731i get it though, some times i go to the elemental reaction tutorial domains
>>1931732It's nice seeing "old" genshin stuff such as picrel.
>>1931733holy cow is that the homa symbol
>>1931735homa symbol is fucking everywhere man
>>1931738wait wait wait wait what da hell
>>1931739Go walk around the world and you'll start seeing it everywhere (especially the Masters of the Night Wind)
>>1931741i didnt know the shogun had it too
>>1931742yeah it's on her statue of ronova
>>1931744WHAT DOES IT MEAN
>>1931744>statue of ronovaDid Ei see Ronova during the Cataclysm, when she cursed the Khaenri'ahns?
>>1931747Presumably
If you're schizo enough you'll start seeing Homa all over the game.
>>1931749so basically everything that has to do with death?
I'm going too schizo now, starting to see the song of the welkin moon symbol in the chasm
>>1931751Civilizations got hit with a Divine Nail for less. Stop this right now.
>>1931754what did raiden mean by this
remember when Kazuha was fucking everywhere and now it's been like 2 years since I last saw him
>>1931745Ronova and Ei are BFFs~
>>1931751i wonder if our surprise lantern rite gift is a cut scene of the chasm getting nuked since we're in the moon patch and solar chariot lore thingastuff
Chest powercreep
>>1931755she wants me to fuck her good again
>>1931772this map expansion seemed kinda lazy desua lot of puzzles just randomly shit out 2-3 chests so they can hit the average chest count in a small area
>>1931683depends on if she chose that day as her birthday also, but that seems to be the implication, which would also mean that alain guillotin, sandrone and columbina all share the same birthday.
>>1931772when did the custom of placing treasure chests in every nook and cranny come into fashion?
>>1931786when people started complaining about "exploration" and "rewards taking too long to get" in surveys
so the ship AI is Phanes, right?
>>1931828almost certainly
>>1931830>>1931828>The keeper is fading away; the creator has not yet come.>But the world shall burn no more, for you shall ascend.This is starting to make sense.
>>1931830So what's up with the abyss sibling, then?
>>1931836I'm still wondering how the Abyss sibling ended up outside the ship. I wonder if Khaenriah originally summoned their soul into a puppet body like Scara's.
>>1931836i assume they aren't happy with what the ship ai did, or maybe just the end state that the ai created, but honestly its still hard to say at this point, we really don't have enough information on what their end goal is. we can't even be sure if the traveler and their sibling remember the purpose of their space travels, which was apparently to colonize another world to ensure the continued survival of humanity.
Am I retarded or is Nefer just not fun to play? Tried using her in Abyss till I got annoyed and swapped back to my Nilou bloom team.
>>1931868CA spam is boring
i'm surprised we still haven't gotten drip marketing for the next patch.
>>1931873Drip marketing normally comes after the livestream, doesn't it?
>>1931876no it's usually a few days after the patch update.
Chance of Paimon being something like Luonnotar?
>>1931868I don't have her but every single time I play her trial in events and such I get bored. Her gameplay loop isn't exciting.
>>1931873Holy fucking sex.
>>1931891Paimon is literally just Asmoday.
>>1931828if the traveler and the twin were humans that couldn't survive and thrive among all kinds of ridiculous shit then terraforming Teyvat could make sensethey aren't those kinds of humans so what's the point?
>>1931758it's hat guy's turn now
this shit just doesn't make sense, bro created barriers in nodkrai that could be broken simply with elemental attacks, knew there were at least 6 vision holders out to get him, put "cant leave nod-krai" curses on everyone instead of just killing them, spilt open the sky for no reason at all even though he already had trilune authority, and closes the sky when he probably knew that the moon would come crashing through anywayi know it's pretty much 99% that he isn't dead because of that end scene glitch with the morse code, but the question is why was his plan so fucking dogshit for an evil genius scientist
wtf hydro slime can merge?
>>1930500This is more or less correct, but misleading. Act 7 from start to the time the end card pops up is 3 hours... but it doesn't release you from the cutscene stun lock for another hour (except for the first 10 minutes or so it's all cutscene/dialog). 8 was closer to 3 and a half than 4 (and gives you another break about an hour after the first one) if we go off the "glitched" end card and not the first one to pop up (given it appeared while stuff was still going on I didn't bother to mark the time). So you're going to need at least 4 hours until you get to any kind of temporary stopping point... at which point I'd honestly just suggest to plan on doing this one in as close to one sitting as you can (I'd planned to do 7 today and 8 tomorrow but wound up doing it all today due to this... so enjoy my sleepy, rambling attempt at bone picking).
>>1931945Because you can't write someone smarter than you
>>1931962You mean just appear out of nowhere? Yes, you've got two in Mondstadt right in front of that big tree.
Friday, my beloved Hu Tao will be C2~
>>1931921>>1931891Paimon is very likely to be the emotional side of Phanes, as the outfit lore mentions that part had to be cut since the endless space travel proved to be very taxing for any sentient creature (The Travelers were hibernating). P.A.I.M.O.N from the mails and other notices is the Heavenly Principles
>>1931945>bro created barriers in nodkrai that could be broken simply with elemental attacksTheir purpose weren't being a force field but just a bubble to trap his test subjects inside, like he did with the people that had their brains swapped with those animals>put "cant leave nod-krai" curses on everyone instead of just killing them>spilt open the sky for no reason at all even though he already had trilune authorityIt's very in-character for him to get super cocky after getting his hands on literally god-like powers, bro was just playing around with his newfound power. Yeah he could snap his fingers and kill everyone, but where's the fun in that? Everything is an experiment for him, and he wouldn't throw away great test subjects such as the rest of the cast>and closes the sky when he probably knew that the moon would come crashing through anyway>he probably knewDid he? For what is worth it, maybe the thought that the power pushing down the moon needed the moon to be visible. Close the damn sky, the power is gone. Poof.
>>1931945Dottore's entire experiment was part of the Tsaritsa's planShe wanted to see how the Traveler would react to Phanes waking up, and whether the "variable"ness of the Traveler would be enough to overcome fate, considering how the last two Descenders failed
>>1932040That would imply that the Tsaritsa has something even stronger than the trilunar authority.
>>1932040Phanes is not waking up. The only part of Tsaritsa's plan here was Columbina awaking as a moon goddess, they just went a rounadabout way of doing it and that's why she's fine with Columbina leaving the Fatui after the archon quest.They'll need a safeguard against the Shades and Columbina and the cannon are a good one here.Project Stuzha will be to revive or incarnate Saarelainen in some way, as her plans to fight the divine are moot if they cannot undermine fate, and only a Descender can do it. I imagine the project will fail but we'll help instead. The Shades said they'd start intervening in Teyvat and all it takes is one shitty move to get on our bad side.
>>1932064>>1932064>>1932064
