I'm missing it, what am I supposed to see here?That other gacha is teasing me.
I've been trying to pre-farm a set of artifacts for Baal. Holy shit that domain is being downright terrible to me. 75% of what I've received is that awful Yoimiya set, and out of the 25% of the Baal set, it's got awful, awful main and substats. I have enough for a 4pc at least, but it's all going to be Def/EM/HP, her worst stats.

The title of the mission and commission RNG failures in Mondstadt.
I've had the same exact experience. I stopped trying, I now just spend my resin on her and Sara's talent materials.
I also hate violet court and those fucking HP sponges.

Well, at least YMY 2p set is universal enough so maybe you'll get SOMETHING out of it lmao

Lost access to a 10 year old account a year or two back and couldn't give enough of a shit to get access back. All the games I play are coming to PC now so I'll never be getting another PlayStation again.
Was gonna farm for Baal, but decided not to. I'll farm for her when she's in my team, and when I can enjoy using her.
I'm not having another Ganyu repeat; pulling for C6 and not playing the game for several months.

I've been pre-farming for Baal, both artifacts and talent materials, but I'm kinda regretting it. 50% chance I ain't even getting her anytime soon, and all that resin is gonna be wasted. The artifacts can at least be used on other characters, but even still I should've probably invested that effort in other domains that fit my current characters better. I just hope the game doesn't punish me again for preparing for new characters.

The only reason I've decided to farm that artifact set to begin with is that the 2PC is a straight upgrade to all the Exile 4* artifacts I've been using on my supports for months. I figured that on my way to gearing Baal I could replace a lot of 4* artifacts, which sadly has not been the case yet. I need a shit ton of that set so of course I'm just getting Yoimiya set.
Ahhh i don't know how I missed that. I gave up on Mondstadt dailies for now. Now I'm being denied the 2 comissions that turn into quests for Inazuma (the shrine kid and the guard that wants revenge). How fucking hard would it be for MHY to put a flag in their random quest assigning that says "if you've already had part 1 of this chain, give part 2, etc" The fact that you can move backwards in progress is so fucking annoying.
I've got so many good Gladiator pieces at this point, that set is just fodder for me. They should have made the 2pc effect the 5* upgrade to the Berserker's set and give crit rate.

True, it's quite a versatile set that works on a lot of supportive characters, so it's not exactly bad to farm that domain. My problem is the same as yours: I'm mostly getting Shimenawa pieces. Got a pretty decent set for Yoimiya (Are they telling me to pull for her?) already but the domain refuses to drop any good Severed Fate pieces.

ER> CRate to ~50% > CDmg > ATK
There is no such thing as too much ER for her though, from the beta results at least.

I have an electro goblet (with ER) and a few decent flowers (without ER) from my farming so far. Haven’t even seen a Crit rate / damage circlet from either set, which is frustrating. I don’t think ER sands from this set even exist.
60 pulls towards a guaranteed Baal, but I have resources for ~ 100 draws. I had been thinking about the weapon banner, but the Claymore doesn’t seem worth the risk.
With the decent spread of 4-stars (avoiding C6 Barbara, C6 Ningguang, and C5 Noelle), I might go 5-6 pulls after Baal on this banner, then hold on my 50/50 to see how the next few 5-stars look.

Couldn't care less about re-runs, but I'm interested in seeing heavily rumored Standard banner upgrade. Wasn't it supposed to happen right after/together with 2.0? Now 2.1 is upon us and Standard banner upgrade is nowhere to be seen/heard of. I wonder if it's even happening. My stack of blue wishes blue balling me lol
Nope. Day after.
P.S. Our favorite small indie company made 725$ in profits in 2020:
2021上海百强企业榜出炉：入围门槛84亿，上汽占榜首
m.thepaper.cn
However, there are also many emerging industry companies that have achieved a substantial increase in net profit. Mihayou, the leading company in the game production and service industry, has a net profit increase of 4.77 billion yuan, an increase of 474.51%;

I don't think this'll happen until all the pre-Inazuma character have gotten a re-run, so basically anything up to and including Eula.
I also think it sounds better than it would really be. The pool of 5 star items on the standard banner is already quite large. The odds of getting something newly added is quite low.

I'm sure you'll get enough primos from events/quests/chests for 10 wishes, but still....that's shitty, real shitty.

Apparently its $30. Can't confirm though since it's to come with the Concert Bundle or w/e.Here's the new glider for sale in the anniversary pack (real money only). You get the wings, some materials and 1000 primos. Not sure how much it is. Best news - 99 cents. Realistically - 20 bucks.
Concert bundle for purchase (Boundless Symphony): contains Primogem x 1000, Wings of Poetic Melodies (new wind glider), Celebration: Tuneful Delight (new namecard), and Splendid Phrase (a harp furniture for housing).

$30 for THAT? Holy shit. Happy anniversary to MHY for whoever pays 30 dollars for that shit.
Also, loved this teapot setup. Man I wish I had the creativity and dedication to make cool shit like this. The floors are actually tables, since we still have no pavement/floors/etc.

You get more in the half anniversary AK bundles for 29.99 than this...
And man that's beautiful. Kind of what I've had in mind while waiting for pavement/flooring to be introduced.

For 30 it should come with a full (up through Inazuma) copy of the OST. I'd consider it then.

Jean's swirl and Ayaka's skill? I'm hopeful...
Hate that mofo, but well... just another reason to pull for the Gods.
30$ for 6 wishes. OMG such value ahah

I actually like Venti's personality a lot. If he had a male voice and wasn't dressed like a fuckboi he'd be a top 5 character for me. He's conniving, a drunk, powerful as fuck but never shows it, and always has some agenda. I'd love to see a pissed off Venti in the game sometime. He's at the very least a whole lot more interesting than one-note shitters like Xiangling - HEY DID I MENTION I'M A COOK? and Diona - I HATE WINE NYAH!
But yea 30 for a few in game items and 1000 primos, they're out of their damn mind. Not even Genesys Crystals.

Archon side-buff patch confirmed.When a character is attacked while immune to some DMG (e.g. when casting Elemental Burst), the shield's DMG Absorption will not decrease.
Geo Lord's buff? Geo Lord's buff.
Zhongli's shields come so often, it's a minor buff at best. Bug fix is the better phrase.
Pre-load is up btw. 16GB now. RIP people with old phones or without MicroSD storage. I can't imagine what the game is going to be by the time version 5.0 comes around. 80GB? Phones won't be able to handle it anymore.

I hope we will move to 512Gb as a standard baseline for new phones. It's a long overdue. But yeah, most kids / people with older phones will struggle.
Yeah. That's why it's always a good idea to pull for them lol MiHo cares about them.
Every bit helps.Especially now, with those pesky samurais who can 1 shot your heroes.
True. But... But in the same time, chances of getting C3 Mona will also be reduced xD

I honestly don't get the MHY balancing team's job. What are they even doing. Some 4*s are amazing and still don't have comparative characters (Xiangling/Fischl/Bennett/Xingqui), some are fun and unique (Sayu, Beidou), some are forgotten (Ninguang, Yanfei, Starter trio), and some are just awfully designed from a kit perspective (Xinyan, probably Sara will end up here after the initial Wow! Booba!)
I personally feel that every character should bring something unique to the table. Rosaria/Yanfei/Sara seem like they were just designed as weaker versions of their better counterparts with nothing really to save them. Then you still have units like Benny for any burst damage team, Xingqui for almost any Pyro character, etc that are nearly mandatory for high challenge content to keep up with whales. There's no reason to release a character like Sara with where we are in the game currently. Her ele skill doesn't do a taunt, her element sucks for damage, her C6 ONLY affects other Electro characters in her party, for fucks sake. Why? Why shouldn't a C6 be nice for any party member? It just seems self-defeating. I'd rather see her go full support or offer some healing or something. Make her kit an Electro Diona, but don't pigeon hole her for 2x Electro teams where a 6 second ATK buff is the best she can offer.
Maybe they made the initial supports too strong and didn't expect them to dominate endgame, but in that case, I don't feel like making new characters so much worse is a better idea.

What it feels like is them trying to avoid powercreep but not realizing powercreep is inevitable and they should be designing characters to match their fellow counterparts and differentiating them based on their kit. Sometimes it feels like they just take a previous character and strip some things or make adjust it and we end up with something useless for 4 stars.Lovable Cocogoat

Downloading the pre-load.
On a happy note, I had a copy of Tsukihime expected for tomorrow morning, but it came today. Now I can sleep in the morning and be awake hopefully for when the patch goes live before work.
I agree the balancers are shit, they seem to make stupid choices. I firmly believe Baal was designed as a sword character, and has only been given a lance/polearm due to the abundance of sword characters.
Likewise, Yoimiya would make a lot of sense to play like a fire Ganyu; i.e an explosive AoE charge shot, what with her fireworks shtick, but they're so concerned with making characters different they're not putting enough focus on making them good.
Baal will survive, she'll get buff after buff if she disappoints, but other characters like Yoimiya and Sara will get left by the wayside.
