What would we get for resonating with this?

>>242817 Techno Element

>>242817 A bike

Nod-Krai better have lots of new ornamental fish

Nahida is really sexy.

>>242817 maybe we'll partially get cryo traveller and we'll be edged until the end of Snez for the full kit

Why not show at least ONE new playable character? What's the point of hyping the event for over a month and ending it with a nothingburger?

>>242806 Previous: >>208950

>>242852 You sound like a marketing expert, why don't you tell us?

i don't think i will have any hype for Nod Krai. it's a literally who region, why should i care? it has no archon, no elemental power, it's just a special province.

>>242864 >no elemental power <does not know about the new quantum element oh nonono

>>242857 >show 1 Nod-Krai character >everyone gets excited for Nod-Krai It's that simple Most people play for the characters, not story or lore

>>242852 the stream was more geared towards lore and world previews and changes, but it would've been nice to get Skirk crumbs at least

>>242864 let's save each other's post and come back in a few months

>>242878 >towards lore and world previews and changes That was their biggest mistake Characters are what MAKE a gacha, not story or lore

>>242838 hey sexy

>>242894 Can you post your characters?

>>242852 Because they want to drag the hype out for months. Now that they have teased a little about the lore inspiration and aesthetics, fans will be encouraged to make fan art, lore discussions and so on. Just enough to chew on for at least a few weeks until they drip a little more, bit by bit. Remember it's not officially in the game until SEPTEMBER.

>>242880 i will come back later, that's for sure. i just wish that these new random province of region that i've been waiting for is really worth it. For now, i don't care about Nod Krai at all.

so... what's the next "big" thing? skirk leaks right?

>>242917 quantum element

>we can't say much... but we're gonna try to like... make nod-krai good and stuff, I guess >please be excited

I missed most of the stream so I'll go rewatch it

>>242905 People play Genshin because of these

>>242917 Most likely

>>242948 >not even xis account screenshot sure they do

>>242948 Show the thread which characters make the gacha for you. What does rolling characters matter if you don't give a shit about the world or setting those characters inhabit? How can you have a desirable character without a context for that character to exist?

>>242953 >now I am become uoh, destroyer of cunnys

So much glow at the end of the previous thread. Curious.

Like >>243017 ?

the somewhat loose narrative structure (since they're tying up all loose ends) allows them to flexibly plan their patches depending on VA availability / who they want to pander to / detach themselves from being shackled to the design confines of one "region" as we know it now this feels like the region of "holding pattern", wait out the issues with contracting VAs, wait out the issue of RUS/UKR conflict cause shipping Sneednaya now would be polarizing, solve some spaghetti code problems and gather data to inform future design planning tangentially, maybe da wei issued a company wide directive for the 3 sub teams to become more agile/trim (design wise) so they can better respond to emerging gaming trends and be more reactive to player sentiment the way aqua brought up about talking to JAP devs / referencing other games kinda tells me they've been doing a lot of internal soul searching about the direction to take the IP for the next 5/10 years

>realize nobody does story quests since they all suck >start giving fomo primos and advertising them on the map during 5.x >people still won't do them >decide to scrap them all together for 6.x Hopefully they don't flood the AQ with endless NPC garbage to ""develop"" the cast.

>>243017 Stop nyoooticing sir

>>242986 >What does rolling characters matter if you don't give a shit about the world or setting those characters inhabit? How can you have a desirable character without a context for that character to exist? People play for the cute girls / cool guys, why do you think so many people have been asking for a skip button in Genshin & HSR? Most just want their favorite character to smash shit and roll for a new character

>>242876 They still need to release Skirk expect some teaser after her banner

>>243024 ib4 Genshin Impact XIV in 30 years

Making a post now so I don't get bullied later...

>>243029 POST - YOUR - CHARACTERS - FROM - YOUR - ACCOUNT >HSR I'm so sorry for mansplaining and raising your voice at you, please don't report me to HR

>>243024 Genshin devs have been referencing other games since the beginning though, this isn't something new for them. Also >better respond to emerging gaming trends they've made billions by not following trends, why would they start now

>>243017 my ip was reset overnight bwo...

>>243029 >so many people have been asking for a skip button in Genshin & HSR I refuse to believe that's anything more than a loud minority. The reason Genshin got popular in the first place was because it had more to it than collecting pngs.

>>243047 >(1)

>>243017 Sorry for having to go to work.

>>242948 bwo you accidentally posted a list of a bunch of generic animu trope-collections, I think you meant to post some environmental concept art pics and bgm .mp3s

>>243056 Reason Genshin got popular was because it was BOTW on smartphones / PCs No one cares about Honkai 3rd

>>243080 So >>243056 is right? BOTW on smartphones / PCs is more than just collecting pngs though?

>>243056 No a skip button would definitely be good. The writing has generally peaked at "passable" and was often well below that level, and it was consistently really drawn out and overly wordy. I don't blame anyone who thinks the walls of wordslop aren't worth their time. I play genshin for the world and music primarily, then for combat and characters.

Moon Archon and Tsaritsa are going to wear skintight bodysuits too. Can't wait.

>>243072 >71 hours thread uhuh..

>>243128 what's wrong with it?

>>243132 Anon implies he couldn't post before the end because of work. Yet I doubt anon worked for three days straight.

>>243128 Yes. I stay within the same building for work and my ID will change at random. >>243080 The same BOTW that players love the lore and character building in? That BOTW?

>>243114 They should have their own aesthetics instead.

the livestream was terrible. all stupid talk, no character tease, no hook. nothing to looking forward

>>243149 People love BOTW because of it's amazing and immersive open-world gameplay never done by Nintendo before

>Hexenzirkel >The Wild Hunt >Knights of Favonius >Voynich Guild >Treasure Hoarders >Snowland Fae >Adventurers' Guild >Krumkake Craftshop >Fatui >Frostmoon Scions >Lightkeepers That's 11 factions. We have to get introduced to half of them, set up motivations, conflicts, not to mention multiple characters in each faction with their own personal stuff. All while trying to tie up loose ends. Do you think Fat Xiao bit off more than he could chew or do you think he will devour it all and make Genshin his bitch?

>>243165 or since

>>243166 There is nothing FatXiao can't chew through

Will Nod Krai OST will resemble something like this? I really dig the Kajiura Yuki and KOKIA vibe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8RE3oKFS1g

>>243166 Nod--Krai is just Penacony

>>243166 My fuarking hero Fat Xiao is going to swallow it all, and ask for seconds. Everytime he writes another masterpiece, the devs treat him to a food-themed character.

Genshin devs said you're not worthy of being called a civilization while they crib all your mythology and story-telling

>>242852 they want to sell escoffier and skirk. but yes, no one cares about lore in a gacha.

>>243198 good thing it's a work of fiction and is not related to any actual people

>>243166 It seems like they understand there are issues It seems like they have plans to address said issues I think it'll probably be alright

>more anecdotes confirmed no more words are needed, Nod Krai confirmed for the best update

>>243191 Penacony didn't even have half the factions Nod-Krai will have though. Then again, Penacony only had 3 patches to tell its story.

>>243166 Half of them will simply be irrelevant like the Steambird or Springvale.

I fucking regret rolling for Xilonen

>>243242 we know xis

>nod krai lasting a year is real Fuck

>>243320 It's one year of world quests but with better production values.

>>243187 they did say it's inspired by nordic countries so the ethereal female vocal + folk instrumental will probably be a part of the overall ost

>>243254 I wouldn't have regretted if they didn't immediately show Inazuma Chronicle

>>243320 I just hope they have other expansions planned related to the other nations too. Like finally getting around to blackcliff forge. Could be cool if they're serious about tying together loose threads.

No hype They cannot even bother to update character models.

>>243187 that's some good shit vocals will probably be less prominent but I imagine it will be exactly like that or enkanomiya

>>243371 It's a hub where everyone from Teyvat congregates so, unless Nod-Krai is absolutely massive, I imagine we could get reason expansions where we go to by getting hired by people in Nod-Krai

Jean spotted.

>>243337 Well that sounds good but I hope they can execute it well. Was just thinking yesterday that they really need to stop with the 5 archon quest limit but I also don't want it turning into another Amphoreus. >>243371 Man, I hope so. Insane we still have not made it to Dornman Port yet.

What are the odds we get aircraft in Nod Krai? Since they are so much more technologically advanced

Name three loose threads from memory.

>>243519 They already showed one yesterday

>>243519 Probable. Fontaine had those Antoine Rogers Aircraft.

>>243395 old school Kajiura Yuki sounds pretty good too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP6QpzOza58

>>243198 >out of context quote

>>243522 What happened to Zhiqiong? What happened to Rana? What happened to the other volumes of Teyvat Travel guide?

Do people really like Lore?

>>243588 A loud minority Majority just want to play as cool guys & cute girls

>>243588 >do people like well-done story-telling? duh, yes.

>>243588 I do Since Genshin's lore took a lot from Gnosticism, care to tell which character from the lore is the Demiurge?

>>243588 of course

>>243588 Considering how the devs mocked muh immersion muh technology crybabies, no most people don't actually care about it since they're completely unaware of anything that isn't outright told to you in the AQ.

>>243588 LoreKINGS exist in every vidya gaem

>>243650 How is the devs acknowledging that it was "jarring" for players and they ought to work on their presentation for next region mocking?

>>242984 >>242817 >>243123 These look cool. I have high hopes for nod-krai >>243017 Its normal, that was the first new content since the last stream. The glow is only for noticing shitters anyways.

>>242817 Our comfy customizable (interior and exterior) snow vehicle for traversing the hostile wintery wastes of Snezhnaya

>Mavuika rerun in 5.7 >Varka in 6.0 Increase the primo count already FFS

>>243609 pretentious lore enthusiast. they thought the game catering to them.

>>243337 So he is the genshin IP's general supervisor >>243408 >Last Exile That anime was quite alright.

>>243789 >they thought the game catering to them. >game does a one year version to tie up loose ends

>>243827 tie up loose ends by adding more irrelevant unheard factions? wow nobody ever though that. it will make another storyline that soon will not be relevant on the real snezhnaya.

I for one can't wait to finally get a chance to explore the Snezhnayan (and Snez-lite) wilderness with my favorite hags

>>243859 Okay, how would Twitter fix it?

I don't regret rolling for Xilonen

>>243874 >>243242 What made you change your mind?

>>243867 Twitter don't care about lore, they care about characters and the representations.

>>243886 I realized I could use Ororon or Lan Yan as the 4th party member

>>243903 Interesting. You sound like you spend a lot of time there. How would you fix it then?

>>243911 What team are you running?

>>243921 Neuv/Furina/Xilonen/Ororon

whats the difference between the wild hunt and abyss order? is it going to be a part of it or a separate thing?

>>243927 Sounds like a solid team to me

>>243932 >crime organization 1 and crime organization 2 (assuming the wild hunt has a leader of some sort)

>>243554 <What happened to Zhiqiong? She died. <What happened to Rana? She lived. <What happened to the other volumes of Teyvat Travel guide? The series got axed due to low readership. Just like your favorite manga.

>>243903 Reminds me of a friend I once knew >retarded perma online girl >tumblr twitter, etc >League announces Illaoi >Big ugly shaman islander >League releases a neat little shortstory about Bilgewater and it's pirate characters all doing little interactions and dealing with some eldritch beast >Illaoi makes an appearance doing weird spirit spooky shit >All around very neat >Friend mentions how Illaoi is going to be released and its really cool >"Oh yeah I saw that, I really loved her backstory and her character kit reflecting it" >She goes quiet for a second >"Backstory?" >Realize that white girl with white savior complex does not count about the character, only that its an ugly, mystery meat, brown girl I hate how pretentious some people get with caring about representation. At least read up on the characters or something. >>243932 From what it sounds like I think the Wild Hunt is more just the abyssal forces running amok. Less like a clandestine group (Abyss Order) and more like a force of nature.

>>243934 I got little bit grumpy after Inazuma Chronicle in 5.6 but then I realized Kazuha is a manlet and only men I use are tall men so it's all fine

I still don't know what nod krai is

>>243953 I hope someone uses Escoffer to make Food Wars references. It would actually be pretty nice

>>243968 Just treat Nod-Krai as a sub region of Snezhnaya, like Seirai Island is a sub region of Inazuma, but bigger since we'll be spending a year in and around it

>>243969 True >>243968 You could read 5.5 artifact lore but its fine they will introduce it to you anyways when it releases 6.0.

>>243968 The Finland to Genshin's Russia.

>the gachapon I made is being used Nice

>>243949 >From what it sounds like I think the Wild Hunt is more just the abyssal forces running amok. Less like a clandestine group (Abyss Order) and more like a force of nature. would like to see the order and wild hunt clash with each other >>243980 >we'll be spending a year in and around it i feel like a single patch or the last natlan ones could be spent in nod krai and use the next year to "tie the loose ends" in the actual regions they were introduced in and relevant to

>>243996 How do custom spoiler images even work

So i watched the Welkin-Moon Youtube Video. Not only America, even China has a massiv Mental Health Crisis. Remember all those Schizophrenic Storys? The Big Fucking Red Herrings? Every Genshin Player, A Pedophile in Denial thought (thats the Joke) that Capitano was the Bloodstained Knight. All those little Breadcrumbs in StoryBooks, Weaponstory and ArtefactStorys. Get Fucked you stupid Nigger Kike Bitch. Those Little Storys doesnt fucking matter.... or does it? "Hey, Vsauce, Michael here" To Explain Nod-Krai better, we could upload a little 45 Minute Anime Movie on our Website, but then Daddy Da-Wei wouldn't get his 17th Yacht, so get fucked. Instead, to explain the Daily Life of the People in this Region we put a little Billboard in every Town. Be Thankfully you dont have to read this with a Black Screen on White Text. Its time to make the cheese with his plot-holes bigger with even more plot-holes.. In Honkai Star Rail, we made the Greek Story even more Gay and Lame with Amphoreus, and now we want to rape "Nordic Lore"s tight little Asshole *licking Lips* We are aware that the people in Mondstadt are still shitting in buckets while DJ Sets, Motorbikes and Ifa with his guns exist. Get fucked Bow Fags and we dont fucking care.

>>244013 How much milk can those produce?

>>244013 Take your medication.

>>244005 I would be fine with a patch or two in Nod, but I agree that we should be going around the nations fixing things up. It would be cool to see us going to Sumeru and finding a large contingent of forces between nations at the Doors of Khaenri'ah and making preparations there for instance.

Its out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPwHEYmAzvo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYfNlo9JmNQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FImLY_iTmvo

>>244013 its the results of multiple people writing the story as they go instead of having a solid base while throwing away most of the very basic framework that was in place away

>>244010 Board admin has 1 slot to upload an image that is shown as the default spoiler thumbnail (instead of the question mark) >>243996 Thanks bwo

>>244032 fucking finally

>>243554 >Zhiqiong Anon it's been 3 years. You have to let it go. It wasn't your fault

>>244019 About as much as any other.

>>243056 I am very VERY Thankfully that Zenless Zone Zero has a Skip Button. They did Aventurine Electric Boogaloo Part 2 with Hugo.while in the fucking MainStory. Peak Childhood Memory: Your watching your Cartoon on TV and then suddenly your Big Brother switching the Channel to another Story. Peak Story-writing.

>>244032 >And We Burn As One

>>244032 love the collective of plenty music, really takes me back to the 50s golden age

Now that the dust has settled, how high does the Natlan OST score on the SOVLmeter?

>Ashikai having a melty over the livestream lmao >>244257 10/10 https://youtu.be/UMssyzge9no?list=TLPQMzAwNDIwMjXATRZG9K22Fw

>>244257 I know a ton of people hate it due to the vocals and the strange instruments, but I can't help but admire their craftsmanship and integration, particularly the masters of the nightwind tunes are some of the best i've heard in genshin, while there's a bit too much variety, they did achieve some memorable tunes, and even managed to give most of the tribes a musical identity (except echoes and canopy), my father used to play a lot of bolero, romantic trio and antillean styles on the guitar so I can definitely notice the work they put into preserving the sound, the vocals may be a bit overused, but the natlan motif really evokes that feeling of defending your nation with pride

I'm back from work, I'm kind of excited about the lore. I hope Nod Krai is full of cute girls.

>>244394 Why is Lumine such a pervert?

>>244421 separated from her brother for too long

Code: NODKRAI0910 200 primos

>>244331 >katya - hag >krumkake - can't narrow it down beyond hebe or loli >voynich - hag >snow fae - most likely hebe I'm guessing the Lightkeeper will be a male character. The newly playable Harbinger(s), Treasure Horder, and Frostmoon Scions can go either way.

>>244506 as long as I get a deergirl I don't care about the rest

>>244293 >Ashikai having a melty over the livestream Where?

>>244257 I've always enjoyed this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwDtuy8En8o

>>244574 There so many good tracks. https://youtu.be/Eg9ZXozswfw https://youtu.be/Ap7szV9YH08 https://youtu.be/ru5zW7qv5EA https://youtu.be/G6lQEMJJPDs

if Dahlia is 4star who's going to be in 5.8?

>>244675 Nobody or a surprise character, most likely nobody.

>>244436 Mihoyo needs to make Lumine real

>>243242 Counterpoint, Gyaru skater girl is sexo.

>>244675 most likely the backloaded natlan characters (mualani, mavuika, citlali, chasca) and a massive chronicle wish to get you to waste as much as possible before nod krai, im almost positive if they dont do a chronicle wish they will do a rerun with 3 characters like hsr or something

>>244574 https://youtu.be/hdkmW2gqWfU

>>244751 For as much as people in other circles of the internet complained about Natlan, it really did feel like the team was experimenting/trying to make the areas feel a little more alive with the newer animations and tribal hubs. A shame that it's been seemingly so divisive.

>>244771 the animations and subfactions werent the issue

>>244574 https://youtu.be/kJVJPOKSXgw howdy

>>244799 I didn't say that it was, though I probably should've been clearer when I was talking about Natlan being divisive. Meant the overall whole (quests, overall narrative, etc.)

>>244771 I absolutely feel the same, it's impressive how much they managed to do with the somewhat dated genshin engine. >>244799 >>244813 Personally I haven't had any strong opinions even on the parts that others consider weak or lacking, so overall Natlan has been enjoyable to me.

I wonder if the guy just got over his (merited) fear of water and his tribe mate is being supportive.

>>244952 He's catching fish barehanded.

>>244567 These people really need to get a real job

>>245319 woops I didn't mean to reply to that post

This quest has been rotting in my log for well over a year because I didn't know what to do with it. Are you given any hints or is it simply aimless Sorush flying until you spot a sigil that only appears to her and not you? Also, need only one more Dendroculus as of today, I was 36/40 last year and it feels good to be at the finish line.

>>245368 Apparently there is a note that hints their location

>>245400 The note is actually when you press "V" in game, turns out. Still halfway but I'll think about it.

>>245444 I mean ultimately you can just look it up online but they're in pretty obvious spots

>>245499 >I mean ultimately you can just look it up online Of course, but I use that as a last resort. This is a game that had to remove almost all its puzzles because the core playerbase is too stupid to solve them, so I feel a bit of pride in finding shit myself if I can. That includes not using interactive map for goodies, and is also why I still have one single Electroculi out there somewhere. Though, I'm at 3/4 now and probably know where the last one is, since the lines are separate and "thorn like blades" does not match up with "wizened husks". There's like two places in the entire north desert with thorns, if I take it literally.

>>245543 do also you avoid using oculi compasses or is that fair game to you?

Will she show up in Nod-Krai?

>>243026 I like story quests, but I am a new player with a lot of content to do (I have yet to start sumeru) and I have no time for them yet. Hope they don't get actually removed.

>>245584 definitely, during the mandatory festivalsloppa section

>>245573 Haven't crafted any yet. Here is proof, if they go in this screen... I know they're useful though, and the devs have been adjusting them to even reveal things like mora caches. >>245591 Personally I left a lot of story quests until I had ample time to do them and preferably with characters I hadn't unlocked yet. It would have really dampened the experience of, say, Cyno's first story without actually having Candace in the party so I could take a pic with him.

>>244696 >>244675 The first rerun is 4-5 patches after the first run, so basically any natlan character no named xilonen.

>>245610 PuristCHAD... I kneel... I also try to find chests and oculi on my own as much as possible but I've always ended up using compasses as a crutch to find the few remaining ones to either 100% areas, scrounge up primos for pulls, or grabbing oculi that I've somewhat missed.

>>243522 Arlechinno Dottore burning irminsul in Collei’s dream Literally the entire cast of Mondstat

>>245591 They're not removing the old ones, but going forward for new characters in the next region it sounds like they're taking a different approach.

unseen razor continuation, onegai

>old limitations are gone maybe we will get old events reruns

>>245655 When I was new, I was desperate for primos so I did actually use the map for most of Mondo and Liyue to help me afford Yelan, but I stopped after those regions. Felt dirty, but beyond that it defeats the purpose of an exploration game to hand the exploration part off and just do a checklist instead. It's not a bad idea if you're truly stuck and hopeless with finding something though, like I mentioned a few threads ago the pics of Chlothar pointing at shit are always funny.

>>246041 yes please, I dont care about getting any primos but I do want old weapons I missed as a latelet

>>244013 >A Pedophile in Denial Who? Fatshikai is a pedo?

>>246073 PEAK CINEMA

>see that limitation? >we're going over it we were being heldback by mobilebabs

>>246129 Now we need past Events in the game, if HSR and ZZZ can have it why can't Genshin?

>>246166 It sounds weird but I'm 100% sure because of the weapon rarity autism.

I'm unironically hyped for imaginarium theater tomorrow

>>244257 Top soul for me. It has a lot of everything from classic genshin music to new & unique stuff like children of echoes & flower/feather clan music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EKVTzTL6Qc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjL8bVOSpAQ Also I love the two main themes and their variations. >>244032 flac: https://nyaa.si/view/1965815

I don't play your game but that chef lady coming out is super fucking hot. Can i guarantee her f2p doing all your story shit by the end of her banner if I start now?

>>244574 Howdy partner Up for a ride? >>246626 Yes. The game has a lot of content if you start now.

>>246626 you can easily get her c2r1 if you wish with all the content in the game giving freemos for a newcutie

>>246636 >>246642 Ok cool, what should I prioritize doing asap for maximum polys? Just main story?

>>246650 yep, all story and quests, chests give quite alot, early regions its pretty spread out with lower quality chests but from inuzuma onward they place around alot more higher quality chests, and more chests in general, along with the tons of collectables like sigils, oculus things, etc that give alot of primos

>>246626 >>246650 >>246650 If you do the story from beginning to current there's enough currency to guarantee at least 5-7 characters (rough estimate). If you start right now, play it casually, do the main story quest to the second area (Liyue) and open most of the exploration chest in the world along the way you can guarantee the chef 100%. But I'm gonna warn you speedrunning for X character isn't really the mindset to approach this game. There's a lot of content (probably close to 200-300 of main story and 400+ for sub stories). You're gonna burn yourself out real quick if you try to slog through it all for jades.

Will Electro get a renaissance, or will it be the new Cryo?

>>246681 That's what dendro was bro

>>246626 >>246679 >speedrunning for X character isn't really the mindset to approach this game I agree with this, I started out in the same situation and I played "casually" for me that is like 8 hours a day, genshin was all I played but I did it at my own pace and tried to do everything in each region before I moved on and it took like 2-3 months and I only got started on sumeru (4th region in the game) by the time who I wanted was on banner and got her c2r1 the first day I could pull

>>246717 >>246679 Speedrunning usually doesn't kill my enjoyment for games, I come from mmosloppa so I'm used to racing to endgame and then taking it slow once I hit my goal So far I've done a bunch of this game listening to podcasts and faded and it's been enjoyable even if it's a little dated, I'll probably just keep at my pace and get the chef and continue if im having fun, thanks bros

>>246751 hope you enjoy yourself, genshin has been one of my fav games since I picked it up and I wish I had played earlier so badly, I wish I could play mmos it should be up my alley but everytime I play one I get bored so I play gachaslop instead

>>246751 goodluck with your chef rolls >>246808 >I wish I had played earlier so badly hhehehh, same. was wasting time and money in other games (WoT/WT/Destiny2) looking for a replacement after quitting WoW, glad i found jenshin

>>246866 I had finally got bored of elder scrolls and trying out ESO I wanted something different that wasn't a realistic looking game or some modernslop western game and got genshin on my yt recommended

>>246626 Yeah you can.

She can't come soon enoough.

>>243337 I dunno. One massive reason world quests are better than character quests is because the latter need to be advertisements for characters they want people to buy. It's not as though that financial pressure is going anywhere. Quests in general can be less yappy and better integrated with actual gameplay and exploration, but I'm not sure the character writing is capable of improving. 4 years of genshin, 1 year of wuwa and zzz, and I think this is a universal gacha truth. IDK maybe some non-chink gacha are better about it.

>>246650 Exploration If you want the exploration strategy for gemmiesmaxxing I could effortpost it 4U

>>244257 maybe my 2nd favorite regional OST

Ever have a dream about the game and then sit there in silence because the game will never be as cool as it was in that dream? The whole tossing coins down that huge room's waterfall to distract enemies to let your bro sneak back into Remuria for his half of the assignment, then using the natlan transference thing to possess a void lizard on top of the boss' locked workshop, walking quietly across its roof to then spawn a 7th pillar (he is well aware that only 6 can be in an area or very bad things get attracted to it) and force him out of hiding for combat? The part of the fight where your monkey friend asks you to carefully time the explosive barrel according to what the prop version just did, so that he can correctly detonate when the boss (who is now a gigantic void lizard instead of his grumpy human facade) opens the gate to lean in and breathe abyss fire on you? And since you got the monkey's barrel timing right, it forces him to fall onto a bunch of spikes that remove his workshop invincibility aura? That shit will never happen. Now I have to log in and pick mint then do a time trial daily.

>>247175 I do love it when my brain conjures up some absolutely fascinating and nonsensical scenarios. I've had bunch of fever dreams where genshin characters, environments and mechanics would bleed into real life places and people, always a pleasure to witness.

What's the estimate for the next Yelan rerun? I'm guessing she'll get one per year to keep her out of the trash bin banner?

>>247250 >to keep her out of the trash bin banner They shoved Kazuha into the brick banner so don't be so sure of that.

>>247250 I'd say within the next 10 weeks or so, but they could also just put her in the next liyue chronicled since she's an old character

>>247229 >that kid who used Balemoon Rising in gym class to fuck with the other team >>247250 It's exceedingly likely that she will be locked to Chronicle banners from this point onwards. MHY just showed Kazuha in the upcoming Inazuma Chronicle banner, and much like Yelan, he is a popular banner character that has both overworld utility and combat strength that used to be unrivaled even at low investment. Now they're quite old and the game is changing direction, and new players are no longer told to get Yelan at fight sight because her previous dominance of going fast and having nutty burst support is now a shared strength with a few other limited characters. While I was typing this two people chimed in and said the same thing in way less words.

>>247250 >>247315 Kazuha and Chiori are in the Inazume banner so power and age doesn't seem to matter anymore

I just realized those OST albums have remixed/unused tracks

>>246166 probably they're trying to save space. genshin's pretty heavy enough as it is and it'll get even heavier if you add past events. Although they could just do the HSR thing of putting the event weps in a shop and the ascension mats in there as well

>>247458 I'm not sure how realistically feasible it'd be, but hoyo could put up previous events (and quests) as optional downloadable content so that people who missed out or want to replay old content can do so without impacting the experience of others with low storage or specs

>>247499 they could even charge 300 genesis crystals or whatever for each one, but hoyo seems to be weirdly averse to opening up revenue streams from DLC, cosmetics, etc

Which Natlan character do you think will get a skin?

>>247593 Citlali is the obvious choice.

>>247593 Kachina and Mualani

>>243803 I don't remember what happened in that anime since it's been so long for me. At least the OP is cool though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6MVLxyQAZI

>>247571 they keep the ingame shop streamlined, better off keeping people regularly buying BP+weklies than pump out one offs that make the game look gauche with hundreds of skins. ingame shop is also where price sensitive people will encounter and seethe about (see the hsr anni shop) they've been extending their revenue streams to collabs, off line events, and online merch shop, where people are going in with the expectation of spending big. (that makeup collab is $200)

>>247499 I refuse to believe that they actually erasing past events and content from the game file otherwise why is this shit is 90gb in size? World exploration shouldnt be taking up space that big in 3d principle, real time render cinematic also reuses the same animation asset most of the time, then there are no routine for npc aside from static and disappearing, and we dont even have 4k texture pack in peecee version, so where the fuck does the 90gb comes from?

So how long is the current patches world quest? I need to find motivation to start it before the patch ends

>>247637 At least 10 GB of that is worthless cutscenes about the other traveler that you will never use https://nyaa.si/view/1940604

>>247637 Most of the AQ and SQ cutscenes are pre-rendered AND they have to be doubled for Aether/Lumine, currently eats 26GB on my machine. >>247703 beat me to it. Then there is audio, 15-20GB per language plus 13GB from the shared library of music and sounds. Rest of the actual game is 36GB.

>>247627 that makes some sense, but I can't imagine that having an item shop like fortnite would step on that many toes (chinese love spending money, after all, and sometimes get pissed off because there's not enough shit to spend their money on) or be that much of a visual clusterfuck. I wonder if it's something to do with China's vidya monetization laws?

>>247729 Hoyo is unironically that autistic about lore and immersion when it come to skins

>>247703 >>247712 Th-then how could they tone it down to 30 gb on android? There has to be some tweaking here and there right?

>>247755 yeah but even about wearables like the wreath we got from the Aranyaka party? also doesn't address why they can't/won't sell past flagship events as DLC

>>247702 ~2-4 hrs >>247729 don't think there's any laws preventing them from flooding the shop with stuff. they used to do it with HI3. they haven't done it with jenshin/hsr/zzz i think it's just a company wide conscious decision to debloat the shop and channel that spending into limited but consistent avenues

>>247776 Android probably uses shittier assets and lower quality soundfiles.

>>247776 They probably put some actual work into compressing the files for mobile, and they can remove any of the assets used for higher quality settings on PC/PS5 version

I just found this kino while browsing for new wallpapers on wallpaper engine.

Shhhhh... Don't wake Mizuki up. She deserves this little rest.

>entire filler year its over bros. It was good while it lasted.

>>248062 comfyzuki... taking a comfy nap... in our comfy thread...

What if MC gets a bit of Moon Power at the end of 6.0 and powers up all his forms?

reset when

https://boards.4chan.org/tv/thread/210282296 I guess this can be applied to genshin as well

What was so offensive in that Nod Krai stream that needed to be censored?

What is with Teyvat and putting little girls to work at their own businesses? Why don't we see this in real life?

>>248517 Probably brand names that they don't want to show because otherwise it could be viewed as shilling

New imaginarium theater is very geo friendly.

Post your day 3 scores.

>>248532 Because bureaucrats are choking the life out of people.

>>248672 The funniest part was using Zhongli's theme instead of Wriothesley's or Sigewinne's own theme.

Any Ideas on what the Moons power is exactly? Is it just the Light element or something completely different?

>>248728 You can wish for another descender?

>>248580 Last comfy theater before I am forced to not ignore the stars? Although I never got under 9 yet >>248672 Lmao. I watched this too.

>>248728 I'm guessing it's the power to use any element.

>>248728 It's the idea that you can shit out a massive log the size of a subway footlong and not die.

>>248597 I feel like the pinball moves slower than in the previous two stages

>>248791 Maybe it feels that way cause you're not multi-balling in this stage.

Semi-transparent striped stockings

>>248845 I just can't get any hype for her she is too bland

>>248845 I love this worlds obsession with nylons and bare underarms.

I think she likes (you) anon

>>248809 I think it's just cryo pinball that moves slow

Gonna level this

>>249067 I think that's a bad idea, personally I wouldn't level it. Tootin if you go through with it though.

>>249067 Good luck

>>248936 If only it were like that irl as well

>>249067 >>249095 Descent to put on some fodder for IT

>>249000 why is her face so round? this is rounder than chiori

>>249121 really round

got stuck hitting nothing

>>248780 I ignore the stars most of the time, as it doesn't affect the amount of rewards gained. That just kind of happened this rotation, I wasn't expecting it. All those years hyper-investing into geo kind of paid off.

Lyneylove

>>248062 Yes. This is very good, I like it.

Is there any rumours of a new element? There was no new trailer and I don't think I'll watch the whole stream.

>>249000 >>248845 She's pretty. I hope she's got a sassy personality to go along with her looks. With the way it's described how critically she handles food I'd hope she's have some bite to her. Some of the dialouge from >>228376 also gives me that impression.

>>248845 AAAAAA stop making me wanting her. I was already set on spending everything to C6 my Chiori

>>249492 Kek'd

>>249007 >>248791 Seeing your scores made go back to try to improve mine.

>>249738 Nice

>>249728 Why would you post this..?

>>250406 Anime Gordon Ramsay (literally now since she has her own reality TV show) is cute! CUTE!

>>250406 >She has a little bit of bite to her. Ah, very nice.

>>250406 her head is so round...

Just one more Fontaine girl and the group will be complete.

>>250406 Why did you post the JP one when the EN one is in JP?

>>247312 >>247315 >>247324 >>247361 Welp. If she's going into chronicle I guess I won't be getting her to c6 (need 2 more). Unless my lucky streak get to carry over to Escofier and Skirk banner...

Your tea anon.

>>250406 >JP IT'S FUCKING RAAAAAAAAWWWW

>>251005 Chiori sexo

Who the fuck is Charlotte Tilberry?

>>251187 My armpit wife

I don't like this IT.

playing mualani event after finishing natlan aq is somewhat makes sense, as if it was a story continuity in itself

>>250406 >her mouth is even sharper than Chiori's I like her already...

>>251517 Weird reference, unless she is a little sister.

I took Nahida's little teapot and I gave it to Citlali

>>251517 My chef can't be this cute!

When's the next Nod-Kino drip? They can't just stop without dripping Hexezirkle and Varka/Jean's mom silhouettes.

>>251542 5.7 livestream

>>251542 They did not give us codes for: Hexenzirkel Knights of Favonius Treasure Hoarders Snowland Fae Adventurers' Guild Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop They'll probably have a bit of a pause and come back in a month or so.

>>251558 >>251542 So wait the next year is going to focus on like 12 different factions? Dear god, it's going to be a hot dumpsterfire isn't it?

Also, there is a new 60 primos code. ZT5RJ4AX4WYV

>>251521 Hey little sister, what have you done? Hey little sister, who's the only one? Hey little sister, who's your Superman? Hey little sister, who's the one I want? Hey little sister, SHOTGUN Oh, it's a nice day to start again Come on, nice day for a white wedding

>>251565 Thanks

>>251561 Wrong. It's going to be KINO as FUCK.

>>251701 kino and dumpsterfire aren't mutually exclusive

Goat Strong!

Sexy Mona pose

>>251187 >>252049 Why was Mona the mascot for Charlotte Tilbury? Wouldn't it have been better to put someone like Dehya? Chiori?

>>252114 Cause bitches LOVE astronomy

>Healer Check on Half >My Only Healer Charlotte >getting Kok, Barbara, Qiqi at the end of Theater >My Neuvilette Alone can not beat the Stone Horse Yeah, i gave up.... for NOW. And Holy Shit, The Chink needs to be pegged to Death. Playing Ayaclun with fucking useless Candace

Having just finished last cycle's IT I will now continue my tradition of going on /gig/ to say I fucking hate IT Anyway is this cycle when they start giving out elixirs for full-star clears? Going for that's gonna suck.

>>252267 >full-star clears >opening cast: Barbara, Candace, Amber, Klee, Lisa, Dori

It sure is another great day to love Alhaitham

>>252377 >Doesn't have instructor's Amber with elegy ready ngmi

>>250406 >What inspired you to drown this Tripes Du Port? Was is the flood!? >Actually...it's not completely irredeemable Lol. Hope her and Chiori get to hang out. They'd be a great duo. Has any of the promo material explicitly explained her tail? It's just a mechanical contraption? Can she take it on and off?

>>252470 It's part of her dress unfortunately The only interesting part of her design and it's fake

>>252267 if I ever get a 10* clear again it'll be entirely by accident, I just want primos and I'm not about to sweat the dogshit endame to get something that's only useful for sweating endgame

>decided to finally burn my crown stash >lets do Nilou first >Domain not yet available >ok I'll do Furina >Domain not yet available >*sigh* lets try Xianyun >Domain not yet available >Arle? >Domain not yet available >Yae??? >Domain not yet available >Ganyu????? >Domain not yet available >Raiden????????????? >Domain not yet available this shit is somehow still acceptable

>>252770 >4 kek

I don't see the point in rolling for Escoffee when Skirk is easily replacable just like Arle
