Nicole WILL save Varka.
>>1999895prune will save varka.
I will save myself.
Varka will not be saved, he will get a small hopespot before Stellarswirl will (deliberately) be designed to not work well with him and "his" support becomes BiS for better characters then him.Trust me, i know absolutely nothing about meta so i must be right!
>>1999931I feel like you know what you're talking about but I kinda zoned out after 6-7 words. Can you make a tiktok explaining that instead?
>>1999932Hoyonerds have it out for Chad, the character.
>>1999967on phanes?
ITS HABBENING :DDD
>>2000135So what are everyone's expectations going forward? I'm thinking>Snezhnaya for all of 7.0, no new side areas for other regions.>We spend the entire region fighting through the remaining Harbingers and uncovering the "evil" Harbingers who were undermining or lying to the Tsarista because of how much time they've spent humanizing and whitewashing the Fatui at this point.>Some major reveal from the Tsarista in the penultimate patch of it that takes us to Celestia where we're joined by the rest of the Archons.>Celestia itself is similarly-sized to the Temple of Space but with multiple levels to it and non-euclidean like the ToS.>All the Vision wielders that have been there have been in some sort of suspended animation which is why we never saw them doing anything since the Archon War because of the HP leaving.>We meet Asmoday, her sisters, and the Shades burying the hatchet after a weekly boss fight with her.>8.0 is all Khaenri'ah which introduces the Abyss element fully to Traveler, release Dain, release 5* sibling, and they backport the element to Skirk.>Traveler learns the full extent of the sibling's plan, Dain forgives the sibling, and they figure out a way to reverse the Hilichurl curse on at least Khaenri'ah itself even though they can't do anything about the nail.>There's some reveal that the Heavenly Principles was actually infected by the Abyss which is why it became so heavily authoritarian about its rule over Teyvat and Paimon was some emergency contingency plan to keep its power safe.>The Loom of Fate is used to rewrite the Leylines to allow some sort of way to attack the Abyss directly, save the HP, and open up some sort of portal to the original of the Abyss.>Genshin Impact - Season 2 follows taking us to the source of the Abyss in a brand new world with new elements and only a few old characters carry over to the new world while still being playable in the old one.
>>2000191>only a few old characters carry over to the new world while still being playable in the old oneNo.
>>1999889
>>2000398I want to my stick my key inside Sandrone's slot so bad.
>>2000357How else do you really expect it to work out nicely?Clean slate means new elemental reactions are possible. Clean slate means they don't have to justify while old characters can't just help fix it without insane power scaling.Keeping the SA/IT/SO cycling with new cycles using old characters while continuing to have events in Teyvat is the only way I can see it working out to not only have new fresh content in the new world while keeping the old cast and banners relevant.
>>2000437That's just retarded, and you should kys.
>>1999889Made a new feather for my Furi~ Btw, all her artifacts come from the strongbox, except the Circlet, and now the feather :^)
>>2000428:S
>>2000456nod krai not invited
>>2000627it's not a nation, just an autonomous area of Snez
>>2000627>>2000633Nod Krai is unapologetic Filler. The thing people tend to forget is that not all filler is bad and Nod Krai was the enjoyable kind.
>>2000456is this official? why doesn't snezhnaya have a background like the others?
>>2000681Yeah, Nod-Krai was explicitly stated by the devs to be a "shit, we put too much lore in and we need to explain it all before shit hits the fan" region
I wonder if Snez will be 2 years (to allow for a map size larger than Sumeru or Liyue and a long ass 2 part story for Fatties)and to buy time to properly build a Khaenri'ah map
>>2000698Judging by >>1976914, we've got a decent amount of land to still cover.If that's all Snez, I could definitely see it getting broken up one way or another.Either as a part 1 and part 2, or another pseudo-Snez like Nod-Krai before we get to Snez proper.
>>2000704part 2 could be Hyperborea ruins in the farthest north, since the Linkage is only getting stronger (Skirk searching there, Surtalogi telling her to, the whole Frostmoon scion things, the new artifact set lore and the Tsar before the Tsaritsa)
>>2000698>>2000704>>2000711Don't forget we're supposed to be going back to the Mare Jivari at some point as well.I could foresee a future where 8.x is the Abyss invades teyvat arc and we go fill in some bits on the map, but that might be too ambitious.
When was Clumbina first revealed last year? I mean except Winter Night's Lazzo. I'm trying to figure out when we're going to have our first glimpse at Tsaritsa.
>>2000728First teaser for Nod Krai was Lauma in 5.7 I think and then Columbina was 5.8?I could see them giving a silhouette of the Tsaritsa or some aura farming face obscured in shadows pose during an artistic cutscene
>>2000728columbina's tease was at the end of the teyvat chapter interlude god's limits trailer when they also revealed the shade's designs. i think that came out the first or second week of july.
is he a serial killer
>>2000942Not necessarily. Apparently skeleton articulation is a hobby people actually have.
Wth, bwo!
>>2001584>have Lauma C2R1>have Nefer C2R1>want Lauma C6R1>want Nefer C6R1>have a net total of 86 wishesDecisions, decisions...
>>2001573Nice.Now give it to me.
>>2001613It's time for you to use THAT.
>>2001613ehe
>>2001645Do I find this in chests?
>>2001584>Was planning on skipping.>But i actually want Kirara.>But getting 1 specific 4* is even worse then 5* hunting if i remember the calcs right (Especially cause no aimed Pity)They just had to make the skip sting for me specifically i guess.
how do i make nodkrai i nation? who should i talk to
>>2001929What?
>>2001929uh...
>>2001929hoeh?
>>1999889Please redeem, sir:A0NBWRZZI3XJ
>>2001929i wrote this while half awake guys i honestly don't know what i meant
>>2001998MY GEMS!!!
>>2002201PLEASE DO NOT SHAKE THE MOON GODDESS!
>Start Linnea's quest.>Suddenly a Tepetlisaur named "Agaura" appears.>Game acts like I should know it.>Had no recollection of this at all.They should have added a side quest to make you come back to the cave after the finale because that's kinda dumb that he was just there for over a year and I didn't know.
>>2002279people bitch and moan about maps getting smaller and exploration being dumbed down over time but then things like this happen. they are gonna have to start adding yellow paint everywhere to guide players to every secret interaction since players can't be fucked to find anything unless the game guides them directly to it.
>>2002286I mean in this instance I completely forgot there was even an egg there at all and there was no real indication outside of "You better remember" to go back to it. Most of the time they do have some sort of reminder stuff exists somewhere. Simple example is Enjou (Who I still haven't really gone through the effort to find) because the avatar exists for him to still unlock if you haven't done the hidden quest or two to meet up with him again.
ETA for stream?Is it in 30 min? Or i miss calculated the time zones
>>2000437They don't want new base reactions, they don't want a new Sumeru incident where anyone who could trigger consistently Hyperbloom / Burgeon had a free time through endgame the whole year.Reactions nowadays are still necessary, but you require other conditions to be fulfilled to properly clear endgame. Base reactions as the old days is still fine for non-endgame content, aside from the bosses having more strict mechanics.
>>2002286Preach. It's the level of comprehension I expect from tripfags to begin with.
>>2002286They should have had a quest requirement be finding that eggAlso the temple of space should have required you to do golden slumber, remuria, and a time and space for (you)
Hoyo is about to annouce Sandrone for 7.0
>>2002449The reactions would be for the new planet, not Teyvat. So you go to planet #2 none of your Teyvat characters work unless they're Abyss element and Traveler + Sibling can't use Teyvat elements because they're cut off from its elements or whatever handwave way you want to do it. Since Abyss would be introduced in Khaenri'ah that would mean you'd still have a reason to pull for those characters and they'd be the starting point for the new planet, plus you could just buff them at endgame of planet #2 if you plan on continuing to planet #3 another decade later via new characters.You'd go to planet #2 and now you have Metal, Steam, Paper, Thorn, or whatever new elements you can think of for the planet and you can combo Abyss with them. They wouldn't be usable in Teyvat so there would be nothing like Sumeru at all and they already have over five years of experience that making newer elements should be fine since they can just heavily lower the numbers.
snezhnaya is train impact
Snezhnaya20260812How nice of them to confirm the date with the code
All hail the Fatui
>>2002502we truly were the 10th harbinger...
did they mention if sheer cold is returning? or did childe lie to us
SooooWhat was the point of this stream other then just a very small amount of info domp on Shez?
>>2002513marketing
>>2002513it was just a behind the scenes thing like they did with nod-krai last year.
GIVE ME THIS OUTFIT, MIHOYO
>>2002495What? What about 6.8? The summer event.
>>2002641Summer event is in 67 to appease the tiktok crowd
>>2002641it just means the summer event will be in july instead.
>>2002649>>2002664Damn. Don't tell me they'll release Sandrone and Alice in the same patch. Or is Alice not coming during v6?
>>2002667>AliceI highly doubt we'll get Alice before 8.x
>>2002667alice has an npc model id, so unless something changes real soon she probably isn't coming this version. lohen is 129, linnea is 130, nicole is 131, prune is 132, and sandrone's character id is 133.
>>2002680Is there a precedent where a playable character started by having an NPC model?
Kino Alert?
>>2002764Hi I'm from the future, Moon Carver and Mountain Shaper will be true for your answer
>>2002765Please be wholesomemaxxing! I just want to hug her while getting insulted!
>>2002764Skork I think? >>2002765No fucking shit. These leakers are just stating the most obvious things imaginable.
>>2002776>Skork I think?Oh, good point. Hope has been restored~
>What if Cryo were to seal away some kind of ancient forbidden power or concept and hide it from the world?>And then the Traveler finds a way to tap into those sealed forces to gain an advantage?Uncle Hoyo leaks....
I hope Vodyanitsa is a Siren fae with big boobs and seashell bra so I can roll for my mermaid dragon moonlight hyperborean eugenically perfect russian wife in Snez
>>2002927Same~ More hags, pl0x!
>>2002784>>2002776>Skork I think?Friendly reminder that Skirk had her model remade if that matters for this NPC/character ID numbering thingy.
>>2002764scaramouche, skirk, and baizhu i believe. all these characters got major or minor visual overhauls on release though. its also important to note that having a character id just means they have internally already been finalized and slotted into the timeline for release somewhere, and not always in the order of actual release. ayaka's character model id is 002, before even the traveler models, who are 005 (aether) and 007 (lumine), even though she didn't get released until 2.0. similarly kirara is labeled 061 (after yelan and before aloy), despite releasing after baizhu who is labeled 082 (even though he was already modeled all the way back in 1.0). dottore has been labeled as a playable model claymore user since sumeru but has no character id number still. so its kind of a crapshoot.
>>2003363>ayaka's character model id is 002, before even the traveler modelsthat's because she was always planned to be given out for free at AR42
I will be killing the frozen boars on Dragonspine for a large stockpile of the warming soup. I will go on foot in Snezhnaya and explore it all

>>2003446>>2003508T-thanks. I will schedule at least one week of PTO then.
What are those fuckers planning with this Snezh release date...
>>2004486the sun gets blocked, Mavuika loses her gnosis, but the original Khaenri'ahan Eclipse ideal lives on, Pierro is the final jester of the old world
>>2004506The pyro gnosis will be dealt with next patch, as it's used to burn Irminsul.
>>2004529What drives a man to read story spoilers for future patchesI'll never understand.
>>2004486>>2004529Would the Chinese really care about a total eclipse very few people are going to experience... ?
how the fuck do I get rid of this anecdote?I swear I've listened to them talk about this stupid dear like 10 times in a row
>>20045635 times without Lauma. If you have Lauma you unlock a cute little story. They repeat it so you get full primos; I don't know if you get more after pulling her and requesting it.
>>2004563i think you need to talk to them with lauma? if you dont have lauma im not sure if it works if a friend joins with lauma
>>2004567>5 times without Laumajesus christ
>>2004567I just did it today with Lauma. It's so wholesome~
>>2004570Those early Nod-Krai characters had a fair bit of timegating built into them in various ways that you could skip if you got the character.
How long is Linnea's SQ? Assuming you let the dialog play instead of mash or read.
>>2004631It's pretty long considering there is a mini game tied to it
6.6: another banger AQ6.7: Bina's moon resort + Sandrone revival7.0: Snezhnaya (it took me 5 years to learn how to type this)I'm so hyped, bros
yo
I can't wait for Snezhnaya's OST to come out. That first nation-named track is always amazing, I always look forward to it when a new nation releases. Which also makes me think, we don't have a "Mondstadt"-named track yet. Hmmm...
>Nicole nerfed (again)She was supposed to save Varka, not join him...
>>2005465i dont give a shit. im going to just c0r1 9/9/9 her and do the same thing i do with every other character, which is to not read their kit at all and just rotate through characters mashing buttons until everything on the screen dies. its worked for years, so i doubt its going to stop working anytime soon.
>>2005465>nerfedBut she was already just aggressively "Okay" to begin with.
it's too bad that there's no wild and dumb leaks about which characters are going to be released in Snezeven the Ping truthers are quiet, it's just "the Tsaritsa is a main push from Snez! she's a Five Star Cryo!!!" as if that's gonna make the clout for someone who has never met any insider and never will
>>2005565the latest schizo leak is pantaloons is dendro
beware the false ten pointed star of the false sky of false stars
>rimegrass added to MW toolkitit's happening?
>>2005465If i got things right think her Varka performance is should be relatively the same ("She brings a Shield!"), they basically moved numbers from her general buffs to her Hexen buffs, so the nerf is that she is less "Bennet2" for Non-Hexen.
Which artifact set for Nicole? I want to be able to use her with Raiden, Mavuika, Arlecchino, etc. Also I may not go for R1, since I have Skyward Atlas.
Alice must be punished for stealing Prune's imaginary friend (concept from Venti's Story Quest and Akademiya research returns after six years...)
>>2005643her own artifact set which will be releasing with her.
>>2005725Oh, really? I thought the new domain won't be available. Ah well. I'll probably give her 2x ATK pieces on day 1, and then start farming that domain.
they did a lot of motion capture for linnea's story quest, i wonder why specifically for this and not for everything in nodkrai
I might actually catch up to new characters
Linnea headbutting the door while yelling "Akete kudasa~i!!" was so cute!
I'm finally about to start Nod Krai
Time to 100% Natlan (for Laumers) finally...Then swap accounts and grind primos for Nefer's R1 and maybe something for Clorinde.
so as an experiment, i larped as a f2p player for the past 2 months, no welkin and no top ups, just got primos from casually playing the content (maybe got 80%) of all free gems from the last two months. today i dumped everything into the chronicles and it gave me a sigewinne. now i know a little bit about why everyone is so upset all the time, it truly sucks. imagine 2 months of collecting these gems just to get something either entirely useless or not what you wanted.
>>2006536I want Siggy :(
>>2006549i hope you can get her anon.
>>2006558I have 107 wishes currently. I want both Siggy and Nicole, but I'm affraid I'll get Liney'd. I'll think about it.
>>2006536It's just like f2ping other gacha, you've gotta adjust how often you go for new stuff.And not roll without the double-spark guarantee ready to go.Also, fuck weapon gacha.I grabbed Siggy when she came out.
>>2006559I just logged in to get her. 60 wishes, sadly, and now my Emily is also C1R1. As a F2P player, with Welkin, BP, and the occasional crystal top-up, it's not the end of the world, but still. Now saving for Nicole. I've still got plenty of NK to play through.
>>2006536Yeah, the F2P experience means knowing you're gonna miss out on stuff (unless you're an absolute luckgod) without a lot of grinding exploration or saving. Still managed to get most the characters I wanted (most the ones I'm missing are old or meme pulls anyway) and I've even gone for a couple signatures (still haven't braved the Chronicle banner though). 100% on all maps except Natlan (working on it to try for Laumer) and Nod Krai (reserved for 7.0+); WQs done except Nod Krai; SQs need work (last one I did besides Varka and Linnea was Lyney); I usually 36* and do Visionary (don't trust my mid builds to carry for Lunar so gotta build some filler characters); events + dailies. Haven't actively Cheevo hunted yet either. And as you can see from this faggot >>2006612 welkin + BP + yearly bonus top up fall under the "F2P btw" umbrella for some godforsaken reason (I maintain $500+/year on the game IS NOT F2P but wtf do I know).
>>2006423>Then swap accountsTale a shower and go outside
Rock farming in Sumeru is so ass. Climb like a retard for 4 fucking rocks... Even with Nata characters.
>>2006829I haven't rock farmed in like 4 years
>Only missing Siggy and Emi weapons>Select Emi's staff and start rolling>see golden after 80 rolls>expect some thing I arleady havelol, and now I have garantee Emilie weaponWhat a fucking chance
what does sigewinne actually do anyway?
>>2006868She's the dedicated bond of life support.Make of that what you will.
>>2006868+150% team cuteness.
>>2006864Already have Emily's weapon. I won't go for Siggy's, I'll just use the event one.
>>2006642>welkin + BP + yearly bonus top up fall under the "F2P btw" umbrella for some godforsaken reasonThere's F2P (No paying at all), "F2P" (BP, Welkin, or both), and then actual paid players. Most people make the distinction because actually paying for pulls is an enormous money sink compared to the BP or Welkin which grant you other things for very little. Welkin grants you 300 unconverted currency to use for skins or pulls of your choice and then normalizes the daily check-in to almost a pull per day, and then the BP nets you a unique item, tons of talent books, EXP, Mora, and materials, and now also gives you the Miliastra BP for free.It's an advantage for sure over a normal F2P, but it's nothing close to the advantage a direct-pull buying player has.
>>2006642>>2006900Guess I should have waited a bit before submitting but I'd also like to add that a year of Welkins is $60 (202 pulls if you don't convert), a year of BP is $120 unless you're really stupid (51 pulls), and an actual person who buys pulls can convert $100 instantly into 80 pulls and if they want guarantee everything if their wallet is open.
>>2006829I always just use expeditions. Or clear rocks when I run across them with a claymore (or Linnea now, I suppose) in the party.
>>2006829Fontaine and Natlan are the best mining routes if you are after the weapon exp.Chasm and Liyue are better if you need the crystal ore for crafting itemsNod-Krai is the king of elite enemy farminghopefully Snez doubles the daily weapon exp obtainable
>>2006868she is my wife
>>2006900People make the distinction because they don't wanna admit to themselves how much they're actually putting in, by treating it as the baseline that "everybody" does.Spending money ain't free, free is free.Giving you a significantly less valuable way to spend your money if you're in a panic (or not looking at prices at all) is just standard gacha practice.
>>2007000It's definitely coping about not spending money, but at the same time you can at least see the logic. Welkin and BP are over time and in small amounts so the only real advantage is across the long haul whereas paying for pulls requires astronomical amount of money and is an instant payback for whatever you want.
>>2006900It's an extremely big advantage. Not just pulls but resources, anyone who says they have a lot of Mora and EXP books is absolutely not F2P or they're newbies. Just because there's "people who pay more" does not lessen that advantage.>>2007000This. They're just unwilling to admit they enjoy putting money in their hobby. Terminal insecurity.One interesting thing about paid vs free discourse is that you could technically argue people, depending on how much they spend, are playing completely different games. I think part of the reason these "f2pbtw" people (who aren't just false flagging and trolling) behave as such is due to said "different game".F2P players being on the exact same baseline makes it very easy to emphasize, compare investments and setups. Once you start paying, your experience can't be compared to those players anymore.
>>2007094empathize*No clue why I wrote emphasize lol.
>>2007094>anyone who says they have a lot of Mora and EXP books is absolutely not F2P or they're newbies.Or they've been AR60 for like 5 years and spend their resources wisely.
>>2007094>anyone who says they have a lot of MoraYou can get to 10M by just doing mora leylines for a week. It does not require money.
>>2007099BP players don't need to do leylines. That's the point.>>2007098I know each player plays differently, that's one nice aspect about Genshin, it's got something for everyone.But it's just surprising though. I'm a 1.0 player, have only the DPSes and supports that I care for at 90 and 80 respectively and I only have 4 million mora at the moment. Only have one character at 10/10/10.
>>2007104>BP players don't need to do leylines. That's the point.I've had the BP since I started when Yelan released (2.4? 2.6?) and I am perpetually broke. Right now I am currently spending my resin solely Mora farming. and no, I have not ignored any content whatsoever. I am dead broke Mora-wise and book-wise.
>>2007107only makes this dude's point >>2007099more strange, but it's something I do hear a lot, he's not the only one.
>>2006868She's Furina's dedicated healer/buffer, but unfortunately the damage/buffs she brings is mediocre until C2(?) where she then became BiS (back then)
I finally got around to doing theatre and holy shit Childe aged like a white woman in her 50s if you don't have Xiangling or Fischl in your party
>>2007174He was never strong without Xiangling. Even back in 1.1 he was still built as a reverse vape driver.Like Hu Tao, his strength is in creating reactions at the cost of lower base stats.
>>2007177Yeah but the health creep of modern enemies has made his non-reaction damage being shit way more noticeable compared to modern characters.
>>2007189You should get constellations for old characters to keep them in line with new ones.
>>2007194childe's constellations aren't going to save himbut the 7.4 fatui buff letting him use his delusion are electro charge on his own will [copium]
Childe will have access to Stellar Freeze reactions, and any enemy with both hydro and cryo aura will be stellar conductable damaged by him.
is emilie the best character from this chronicles? since there's nobody else like her in the game she hasn't been powercrept
INVEST IN BURNINGINVEST IN EMILIE BURGEON META SOON
Nilou will get a delusion and become the number one burgeon character
If I go back to burgeon again,I'll do it my own way.
Ever since she stepped in Nod Krai she's so airheaded. Makes Kuki to be the genius between the two.
These really aren't the smartest bunch, are they?
>>2007587every genshin character is a single braincell organism.
>>2007194>constellationsChilde's Constellations are dogshit.CD reduction for his skill that you do not need once you get used to himMore energy for a character that does not have energy problems at allOne slightly useful skill that does more damageA C6 that makes his C1 worthless.There is no saving Childe when only Xiao's constellations are worse than his.
Say something nice about my Dehya
