If they don't delete the pity after the banner or if it doesn't have a 50% permanent chance like the one in tower of fantasy I'll try it, the creators of dragon nest made a decent combat system a long time ago.

Only in terms of open world, climbing, gliding etc. and food maybe. But the other stuff like characters, their skills, weapons, events etc. is totaly different from BotW and maybe copied from somewhere else. GI did copy from a lot of other games but they have created a unique amalgamation IMO.

It was also a lot worse during the beta. They straight up had copied the animations from Bokoblins from BotW for early Hilichurls, and a few weapon animations were suspect as well. These mostly all got changed in the full release and shortly thereafter though.
I think it's very much an amalgamation of several games like you said, but it feels unique.
BotW I would call a physics based exploration game with light/workable combat. Genshin is an elemental reaction based combat game with exploration and story. Almost none of the physics in genshin are actual physics, it's almost all just pre-canned animations. Extremely well done, but pre-canned all the same.

Clone of BoW in the core aspects of exploration, climbing, stamina and tower level I think. The creator of GI said it took alot of inspiration from it.
But as I said, the point is that GI brought something new to the table, which is elemental reactions, skills and burst. Also it took away some negative aspects of BoW like weapon breaking and stamina penalty when is raining.
Thats the shit I'm talking about. Really looking foward to her, hope she doesn't dissapoints.

The way they are creating 4-stars to be like between mid to terrible, thats possible.
Though outside of her skill, I'm not sure how will she work. She could be either damage dealer or buffer/support. Still strange from the early leaks, needs more concrete info.

Just started Sumeru last night. Dehya immediately made a good impression so definitely looking forward to more info about her. Read a couple "leak" speculations that were putting her as off field damage Pyro. Though another one I read was she had a defense buff. So maybe a defensive version of Bennett? Then again I generally don't put much weight into leaks since I have no clue who is even reliable for them.
Regardless, pulling on her banner!

I think v3.3 is my least favorite patch so far, with the caveat that I wasn't playing during 2.0 - 2.2. I've had little time to play due to work plus other holiday season obligations and it still feels like there was no content in this patch. The card game is fine, but I don't enjoy it enough to invest the kind of time the game seems to expect of me.
Probably a good time to get caught up with other games.

Thats exactly my stance and my worries before this patch launched.

I miss the 5 week update cycle. The amount of content felt a lot better distributed in those. Six weeks is just too long.

Don't forget that COVID is also exploding in CN again. High death counts, lots of lockdowns. I think that reflects on current content a bit too. 3.3 is definitely a filler patch, but I look at any patch without new areas launched as filler patches, simply because their events, no matter how good, can't carry a whole 6 week patch. I really liked the Breakout! minigame, but that was a total of like 30 mins of gameplay, said and done.
I'm actually ok with the occasional filler patch like the current one, because it gives me a break from FOMO and burnout that I usually get after content heavy patches. With the next 2 patches for sure giving us new large desert areas, I'm glad I got a breather.

If there's anything I didn't want more of, it would be desert areas. The first one was kinda cool for the sake of variety, but having to go through that two more times is less than appealing. A shame since forest Sumeru is just top tier quality.
Pejo

From the beta leaks, this next area is more cliffs/chasm like than the windy dunes of the previous desert area. They haven't created any truly awful areas since Inazuma, so I have faith that it'll be good.

Sounds even worse tbh.

Made the difficult decision of skip Alhaitam. I don't want to fucking fight Scara and the new worm boss that keep 99% of the time underground.
Gonna make a huge save for the hydro claymore, if exist. Others things I need are Sayu cons, Colei cons and Razor cons.
I start to suspect the banner take those things into consideration. Is more easy for me to get a 5* weapon/char than Sayu. They really know I play with her a lot.
Why didn't I listen to you.
edit: I forgot to mention guys, any of you receive the feedback survey asking 'why' you don't fight against the new weekly bosses?
They ask me twice.

Just posting this nightmare fuel for when I need it for something later.

I had to look this up. It's NOT the one in the Chasm? There's ANOTHER one?!?!
I'm farming that asshole in the Chasm when I have some spare resin for future Yelan and it's so obnoxious. The dickhead doesn't even drop the right fragments! For ANY of the character that need his drops!!

Will be similar looking at the video.
As I posted many times ago, MYH team discuss about methods of forcing players to spend more time inside the game, and thats the result.
Making bosses without get target, immune at some paterns, long ass animations until you can do damage. You end up spending more time inside GI no matter what strong is your team because the boss keep getting into their invincible phase.
Even fight against the new cubes are terrible. The new dendro cube, some times he even bug out and keep in the iddle animation more time than usual.

Hydro Archon or just a Fontaine character? You decide. Gem eye is neat. but I mostly dislike the rest of the design.

A few more shots of Focalors(?).
wavy scarf jacket tail ass cover curly flowy hair bullshit out of 10. I'm really disappointed in this. I was hoping we'd see some designs without all this wavy shit for Fontaine. At least the jacket is different but damn I really hate that everything has to have flowy clothes.
Closeup of the eye.
Little droplets. Man, somebody is getting fired from MHY and then executed.
*edit*
Another. Man I like that jacket, shame they had to overdesign the shit out of it with all the feathers and layers.
Looks like Lyney's still in the game, but either Lynette got destroyed or transformed to cover her up. Or it's a different character altogether. More boring shorts. I think it's safe to say at this point that all of the females will have the safety shorts and be designed around it. Lame.

There will be a new one for the new Desert area(which will be like Chasm), this time is not mechanical. And yes, it will consume your time by going underground, just like this stupid one from Chasm.

Possible story leaks:
Is this a boy or a girl?
Looks terrible imo. I dunno whats exactly the theme here. Is that a circus troupe outift? And whats up with the colored hair concept art?
Got a bad feeling about this one...even the tall female concept does not look good.

She's carrying a vision on her hip, so I doubt it's the archon. All three characters look very similar. Hopefully there's more variety.

Man, I'm depressed at these designs.
One of the better ones I guess, but she's got Mona censorship with a big ass floof.
Looks like a puppetmaster of some sort
This one's not bad, but hard to tell details.
Lyney
Looks like Lynette stlil exists, this is the best pic we have of her so far.
Not sure what to think of this one yet. Might be good, might not.
And then Focalors (speculation).
Also the leaks "community" is having a pissing match with each other and some MHY employees are fucked because their employee watermarks were on some of the leaked materials.

Hey at least this one isn't bad. I actually like her.
But I think they told this is an early concept.

I like the theme but I can't help but see the pre-censored Mona-tier design and it just bugs me.
Like you could just rip the main body of Mona's censored costume, copy/paste it onto the blonde, then add a bunch of frills and the ass cover and bam, new character.
*edit*
Could just be for show, Zhongli has one too.

I'm hoping the marionette character is a hot lady. Apparently there's 11 confirmed Fontaine characters currently. 5 are teen girls, 2 tall women, 1 loli, 2 tall men and 1 boy. Not all of them have been leaked yet.
