Thanks for the update Gator. I'm about in the same boat as you, still slowly doing dailies and farming resources. 1-2 hours a day, and still F2P. Right about where you are at, AR 33 with Chongyun (DPS), Fischl (DPS/Support), Xiangling (Support), and Barbara (Heals). A couple constellations on Xiangling and Barbara but nothing to write home about. Chongyun has the Bell, but working on an R2 Protoype Animus for him, R5 Slighshot for Fischl, Xianglin has her starting 4*, and the same Dragonslayer book on Barbara.
Couple observations:
- It's good to see that a handful of the 3* weapons still hold up so far, like the Debate Club. Eventually looking to upgrade Slingshot to a crafted bow since 4* will outscale the 3* at some point.
- Like folks have stated before, I'm able to build one team but have no idea what I would do with any of the characters on the new banner so I did the same thing looking for constellation upgrades on the Venti banner. Would much rather prefer to build up the one team I do have.
- I wonder what the plan going forward with the game content will be. There's supposedly 5 more regions to unlock. Assuming they are as packed with quests and content as the previous regions, that's a lot of adventure EXP that will continue to boost up people's world levels. But unless they do some rebalancing, all my farming and resources will continue to go into my main 4 to keep up with that ever-increasing world level. So there becomes even less incentive to get additional characters, unless they do something to streamline that leveling/ascension process.
The only thing I can think of that might solve that issue would be if the level cap doesn't increase from the current max, so people can actually max out a team and then start building another team. But this is a progression game and because Mihoyo is all about extracting from people's wallets, I don't see that happening. There will continue to be level cap increases and people will be forced to spend to keep up.
