1. CRAZY coil whine (maybe bc unlocked FPS). For now I consider to switch back to PS4 version. I don’t want to kill my PS5.
2. Unstable FPS (feels bad, PS4 version with locked FPS is way better).
3. Pop-in is still there, don’t see any improvements. SSD magic don’t work here. Draw distance is not too much better.
4. First time in Genshin I see major bug - houses, trees, water and half of earth is gone. People and items (chests, rocks, apples, etc) flying in the air.
Very bad, miHoYo

Did the Zhongli quest tonight. That boss is....eh....
It just makes using any melee without big dong zhong's shield a real chore. Once again the correct answer is just to sit back with Ganyu and snipe his ass. They really need to design some better encounters for bosses. Huge AoE slams every 5 seconds isn't what I'd consider fun for every new enemy. I'd even enjoy it if they went more MMO route and "dodge the red spots on the floor" or had stuff like Primovishap with the elemental shields reflecting the damage of his big move. At least those are interesting mechanics.
Maybe I missed something since I only fought him once, but I wasn't impressed. The quest was somewhat interesting though, specifically the end.

If he's locked in a contract not to say anything, I'm not sure why traveler doesn't just go ask Venti. His whole thing of "freedom" means that he wouldn't likely care about something like that.

Did you only fight the Story Version?
And
If Zhongli is tied to contract, that probably means all Archons have a unique NDA clause where they can't speak of it.

Yea only story version for now, I was out of resin from other stuff. Is the weekly a different fight?
Well that's what I'm saying, I understand with Rex Lapis, the god of Contracts, he can't break a contract, but I doubt Venti would have such a hard time with it, based on his character.
Also, get out your biggest grain of salt, but here's a supposed leaked roadmap for the next 4-5 months.

Yeah, the Domain version has an entire other phase. Story version is nerfed.
True. Even if Venti were unable to say it based on his own decision, he would at least give us another hint. Though Zhongli's careful wording makes it sound like the situation regarding Khaenri'ah is not so black and white from what Dain or the Sibling say. At the very least, they did partake or have involvement in the events.

I lost my 50/50 for C1 Zhongli, but at least got a shiny new Jean to play with. Between her and C1 Yenfei, I am seriously low on mora & xp books (both have ascended to Lv. 50). Jean inherited the physical DPS set I had been building for QiqI, including the Primordial Jade Cutter (from the time I pitied off the weapon banner) + 2 Gladiator + 2 Bloodstained (incl. physical damage cup). Aiming for 70% / 140% once the artifacts are done.
Working on a Widsith for Yenfei, and still have fairly lousy artifacts for her, but I’ll work on that after I get Jean built up.
Out of primogems, but knowing my next 5* is going to be the promoted character, I may just wait for Baal (to ensure my 3rd archon).

If my earlier leaks end up being true, she's going to be removed from the standard banner and replaced with Albedo. Not sure where she goes then, maybe she becomes limited? I have never seen a gacha game take a standard banner character and make it limited before, I believe they'd get a shitstorm for that.
Maybe she'll go to the starglitter shop?
YukiOnna
Member
The only way I'd see that happening is if she's getting a separate buff aside from the elemental one above? Rather than a banner replacement, maybe limited to the starglitter shop would make sense, yeah. Did she end up popular than they expected or something then?

Nah, she bombed HARD. But many people have her thanks to 50/50, so maybe they want to throw community a bone and buff her?
YukiOnna

The banner at that point with no character story was a pretty dumb move for sure. And possibly, she has a decent kit that works and I enjoy using her after I built her up so it'd be a good move.

Albedo going to the standard rotation makes sense. I can already see people upset that they lost their 50/50 pity and pulled him instead <insert future power creep banner character here>
Buffing electro seems inevitable. Eventually players are going to get tired of melting and vaporizing everything, right?
I haven't played gacha games before. How do they normally handle moving characters from time-limited exclusive banners to the permanent banners? If they keep adding characters to the standard banner, does the roster become too large and de-incentivizes users to spend on it, since you have even less of a chance to pull certain characters?

They add more of them to the same exclusive banner, and rotate more quickly.
In honkai they move characters to a lower cost banner, and when they do reruns they announce all of them in one go, so you know which one you want to go for.

Usually after a certain amount of time, after they have milked what they can from the limited banners for that character, they will just do as you said and move it to the permanent pool. It's typically only done rarely, when a particular character underwhelms revenue wise, or after a year or two of being limited. Standard banners always get bloated in games that do this, for the reason you describe, but people usually only spend free rolls on the standard banners anyways, since it's such a crapshoot. Around the same time that bloat happens, though, you'll usually start to see stuff like character selector tickets or "guaranteed 5* from standard banner" tickets that they try to monetize and sell, or give as rewards for big events like anniversaries. I could see Genshin doing that, but I'm still a little suspicious that Albedo would get moved before even getting a rerun.Albedo going to the standard rotation makes sense.

If that leaked roadmap is true, that's incredibly disappointing to me.
I hope they're wrong.
Rerun after rerun, very little new content for a while, presenting small resin changes as if it's something hugely important and still no Dendro.

Man, people are already doing cool unintended shit with the housing system.
Here's a tutorial from the same guy:
Kewl.
But I'm not convinced that it's worth your time and effort YET. 1st, system is undercooked and underdeveloped, 2nd, MiHo can easily "fix" it and it will just disappear, 3rd, next patch already promises some big updates. IMO a better strategy rn is just unlock/build as much random stuff as possible and wait a little before actually putting some time into proper world building.
Yeah, why we need so much tree types? Wood is wood, ffs.

Not a fan of building stuff in general. The building dimension thing is a bummer for me since I won't be doing any of the content. It has a side effect of saving me $30 bucks a month now since I won't be spending on the BP (hymn) three times a month.

Paying for the Battle Pass 3 times a month - How does that work? Do you mean that you have 3 accounts?
I'm also not feeling the housing stuff and I'm on the fence about buying the BP again, but for a myriad of reasons.

Yeah I have three accounts. Not a fan of the new weekly BP requirements (many of them are tied to the new housing content). I guess I shouldn't have complained about finishing the previous BP's half way though the month.
YukiOnna

Housing was the one big thing I wanted so I'm glad it exceeded my expectations even on soft launch. I have a lot of suggestions, but I'll save it for the feedback survey. All in all, I'm glad it's not MMO style and you actually have a lot of intricacy in building it. Going all Fornite in the world is addicting, too.
Only problem is the timegate, but I guess they don't want people done in a couple days even though I don't think people will tire of this feature.

I was waiting for a design where you could see your character driving the skiff, i mean boats are closed and skiffs are open, this is a boat.

Isn't it also...curious.... that the new weekly boss gets an intro in the Zhongli story quest (to unlock him), where you have a mega powered up shielded Zhongli to show you that Zhongli is very useful in that fight?
Really makes you use the old noggin.

By the way, I read somewhere that you can set teapot visit permissions for when you're offline and such but I can't see where. Any ideas?

miHoYo to players: You will be made to love shields.
If players don't appreciate shields/geo, it's the devs own fault with how they balanced elements. I'm at AR55 and I've basically never bothered with geo or anemo until recently. Zhongli is proving to be really useful in the max level domains (where enemies have unblockable attacks) and abyss, but I don't feel like shields have all that much utility in earlier content. When I ran into difficulty spikes as I progressed through the game, it was usually due to low DPS issues leading to not beating a timed challenge.
Pejo

This is my view too. They have too many enemies that are only able to be taken down with specific elements. The shields on the abyss mages (opposing element only), the big shielded hilichurls (omnidirectional blocking somehow, pyro necessary), Fatui (opposing element only, very strict to a single element per fatui), large ice shield hilichurl (pyro again), Geo/Cryo infused giant hilichurl (Zhongli or claymores/pyro again). It's just too much. If the team swapping mechanic didn't take 30 seconds, it'd be better, but it's just annoying to run around the world with certain teamcomps because you have to stop, load menu, switch team, wait for team to load, exit menu, then kill that enemy, and go back to your other team. It's easier to run around with a boring comp with all bases covered, even if you don't like the way it plays, just for convenience. This is what does the biggest damage to using Anemo/Geo characters in my own opinion.
I'd love the ability to hot swap teams, but with like a 20 second cooldown. That'd be much better since you could be running around the world, and say "oh shit, it's a wood shield hilichurl, let me pop into my Pyro team", then fight them, after the cooldown wears off, just pop back to your original team and off you go. Kinda like the way we swap characters just with a longer cooldown. I think it would promote a lot of different team comps outside of Abyss.

I don't think the buff in the new domain is for geo, but for shields. The text reads:
"A backlash will occur when opponents hit a character protected by a shield, unleashing a shockwave originating at the attacking opponent's position that deals one instance of AoE DMG. Can occur once every 2s."
Does your Zhongli have energy recharge artifacts for burst support? I'm building Zhongli as mostly shield support, so I'm looking for HP artifacts.

they just need to increase the party members to 5 or 6 characters, it was 5 in alpha if i am not wrong and also you could change your characters while playing in domains but it was a chaos and they nerfed it.

Hot swapping between two 4 player teams would be nice. Is the team loading issues due to some limitations from being a mobile game? The loading times for the team switching is awkwardly long, even on PC with a fast SSD.
Pejo
Gold Member
Great question. I assume with how you swap characters in and out with a button tap on a single team, it's probably loading all of their textures and animations into memory. Maybe on weaker mobile devices, there's not enough RAM available to load 8 characters worth of moves/effects/textures at once?
Not actually sure, are you on the US server? We could try it.

Characters, in this case.
It's a 1.6 item. It will allow our characters to visit us in our teapot and interact on some level.

You mean the circle that appears when you select party?
It's not loading anything, it's a mechanism to avoid players switching characters while in combat, because moving stops it; you basically have to stand somewhere "safe" to switch characters.
Saber

They should have changed this since the very begining. It's not like changing team member during a fight cheating. You still have hundreds of limitations from challenges, abysm dungeons and domains. Outworld should be free of those stupid rules.
