I gotta agree with Kriptini Kriptini on that one. Not going to say you cant do it with lower artifacts, but you're going to fail far more often.

I played every day for about 8 months and one day realized I was doing the same stuff with no incentive for rewards because there was nothing in the game that I couldn't do. I uninstalled a few weeks ago and have no intent of picking it up again in the future.

Anyone still playing this? Inazuma came out recently, whole new area -- really enjoyed it.

I would like to get back in to this to enjoy the story and single player content but the overall sour taste the whole game left in my mouth is preventing that. And I'm a huge apologist for money grubbing cash grab casino degenerates.

i still log in every day. inazuma was quite nice, i still am missing like 50 chests but I'll just find them whenever I eventually get the compass.

Ayaka very stronk, I don't think Yoimiya will be able to compete. Next patch will be Raiden Shogun, Sara, and Kokomi. Raiden will be amazing and definitely meta, sara is just a meh version of Fischl, and kokomi so far got gutted, she's just a 5 star Barbara now.

I was really hoping Kokomi would finally be a HP scaling offensive character so these worthless fucking trash artifacts could finally have a use, but Mihoyo fucked that up.

I also log in daily to at least do the commissions and spend my resin. Inazuma was really well done, and I enjoyed playing for hours and hours with new stuff to do. I think I’m still missing 4 electroculi and a number of chests, but I’ve seen and done almost all of the new content. Definitely suffered a setback when I scrounged enough wishes for Ayala and lost the 50/50. Kinda looking forward to finding something better to do so that I can stop feeling obligated to play this.

Try Total Warhammer.

That said, I still play this, but really just to fuck around exploring or do the odd quest when I only have a small time window here and there. It's not a game to sink hours into. I don't really care about min-maxing or pulling the latest hotness since the game is generally easy anyway.

As I mentioned in the FF 14 thread, I actually downloaded the trial version that I've been sinking some time into. So far I've found I can log into Genshin and do the daily crap in 20-30 minutes before switching over to FF if I have time and desire to play something longer. I've managed to clear all floors of the spiral abyss multiple times, but never full three stars.

I quit several months back when housing released. There wasn’t enough of a carrot and the end game activity wasn’t enjoyable (spiral abyss I think it’s called?).

I had stopped logging in before housing, but picked it up after the latest update. It's fun, but again no real endgame.

Also the ability to fuck yourself by over-leveling the world level without keeping up equipment needs to be fixed... I guess it's grinding the lower level dungeons to level?

I stopped playing because they bloated it with a million boring quests. Even the main storyline for Inazuma was filled with a bunch of "go deliver", "go collect nonsense", "help me with my household chores" garbage from copy/paste character models.

Game still has a ton of potential, but they are really pushing quantity over quality in content. I know they can do better because some of the questlines were really good at first (Zhong-Li comes to mind).

You can adjust your world level to some degree. No idea where the menu for that is though, never used it.

Dont farm shit on a lower world level, its not worth wasting resin like that. Just add some friends and ask one to help you, because there isnt shit else to do, most high AR jump at the chance to help other people out with bosses or domains.

You can add me, my UID is 603994152

So, can any big brains here make sense out of this update in regards to the Top Up reset coming with 2.1 in Sept?

Genshin Impact – Step Into a Vast Magical World of Adventure

The first time you bought Genesis Crystals you would get double the amount, after that you would get a small added bonus. I thought the "reset" meant that once 2.1 hit and you bought Genesis Crystals, you would get the first time double bonus again. Yet, the last sentence in that update doesn't make sense. Am I overthinking things?

They are basically saying you will only be able to receive that bonus once after the update, regardless of whether you used it before the update or not. Otherwise some people might think their unused opportunity from pre-2.1 plus the reset means they could then receive it twice.

What it means is e.g., for me:

I have not bought primogems, so if I don't buy primogems before the patch I will be in exactly the same situation as I am now (next purchase will be doubled, but not the one after that).

It's this right here. Just a marketing ploy to make you have FOMO.

Been playing on the PS5 for the past few days, runs fantastic. Spent some money on the current banner and have this character line-up:
CurrentChars.jpg


I can't do much with Yoimiya or Sayu if I do the quest to upgrade WL to 2, since their upgrade materials are in Inazuma (currently at ar25/wl1), sadly I'm not a fan of any of these characters aside from Yoimiya / Sayu. Yet I need a solid team to clear WL2 bosses / domains so I can farm the Inazuma materials for Yoi / Sayu (and Baal later). I was thinking of going with Diluc / Rosaria / Barb / Fisch, but Fisch seems pretty weak at C0. Never used a Shielding based class, so not sure if Noelle / Xinyan / Diona would bring much.

Anyone have experience with a group of these characters? On PC I mainly used Keqing, Xiangling, Venti and Barb.
