When do we get the free character? Will it be random or...

 

[Fake]

Is Diluc any good? I don't really like the slow, big ass swords but eh.

Diluc is very powerful. Its not slow, all claymore chars have claymore atk speed. You can cancel auto attack animation with your elemental skill, making some sort of combos. Its pretty neat.

Celestia is not the title screen. The title screen extends infinitely. Celestia is clearly finite.

Everything Gods related is falling apart xD

The event started already.

 

[Pejo]

I'm kinda torn right now. I'm sitting at around 70 rolls in on the limited banner, at the 50/50 pity. Xiao mildly has me interested, and I already have Keqing, and her Constellations are kinda meh. I'm also mildly interested in Hu Tao. Do I keep going and see what I get, or just wait....hmm.

You wait until signora gets released obv.

Playing Xiao with his signature weapon and unlimited Ultimate made me realize how mediocre his actual gameplay is.(and how cool he looks with his mask on) I'm glad that quest enemies died in 1 hit. Otherwise I would felt sick thanks to all that jumping/ plummeting.

 

[Fuz]

Xiao does less damage than my Razor, but I have a 5 star and a few constellations on Raz and a shitty lance on Xiao. His charge plunging spam is a really stupid and boring way to play him, not sure if the devs intended for it to be the correct way to play - maybe they'll tweak something?
Said so, I don't regret pulling him at all and I was caressing the idea of trying to get his C1 or the friggin' Jade Spear. As I said, my main DPS is Raz, who is slow and deliberate in his attacks. I'm loving the change of pace of Xiao's fast combat and great mobility. Plus, he's got a cool design and he's neither a waifu nor a trap. What more would I want?

 

[x@3f*oo_e!]

Venti ultimate updraft basically gives you Xiao's plunge attack with any other character, + any element you choose. Sort of reductive but true I think.

I'm also at about ~70 to pity on the banner, and tempted. He looks like he could be fun/useful in open world, and doesn't annoy me. That said, based on the trial and his exorcism quest actual gameplay does seem to be a jumpblur. Do like how he's fast though.

 

[Fuz]

Venti is a trap, toh.

indeed, the whole company is trap, mihoyo means my hole in spanish.

To pet him?

Nya!

 

[YukiOnna]

Why this event labeled as a date with Xiao and not Keqing?? Mihoyo plz

 

[Pejo]

Xiao's voice kinda sounds like a lispy younger version of Zuko from Avatar.

*edit* nope, it's a woman. https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Laila-Berzins/

Stupid weebs ruining everything.

Actually guy is trying too hard for no reason. Sure, the run is perfect, but I did almost the same with only 3 fast ones escaping using only towers. Fire + Electro and you can ignore your character entirely. Genshin really loves its combo.

Well I cursed myself earlier for saying I don't want Keqing constellations.

Now pull on her banner. C6 5☆ here you go!

Actually I would prefer any other 5☆ considering we are getting her banner and Raiden. Still, 5☆ is a 5☆ and all we can do is accept our fate and hope for the best in a future. I actually pulled Mona on hard pity and afterwards I pulled Cocogoat in 2 back to back x10 pulls, so anything is possible. Stay strong man!

At least it wasn't a Qiqi constellation I guess. I'm in a primo spending hold now until I see what's next after Hu Tao's banner. Whenever I get another 70ish pulls saved up, it's a guarantee banner character. I guess I can always hope that electro gets the Geo treatment and becomes good/useful.

Or just wait for what seems like an eternity for something good to show up again.

I was doing the event quests today and I've gotta say they were pretty boring. You just go from place to place, listen to longwinded exposition, grab items, defeat a handful of enemies... It's not exactly fun. There was this quest where a woman gives you a lantern to give to her childhood friend, and for a minute I thought we were going to have an actual story. He was sad when he heard she couldn't come herself because she had to go to her husband. I thought we'd get some sad story about a failed childhood crush, but nahh, you just help him by grabbing some planks and then nothing happens. I was so confused. Did I miss something?

I love electric cat already.She is amazing for open world exploration imo. I doubt that they will nerf knock back or make electro in general as strong as fire.



I think we should wait and see what they can do with Raiden. Ganyu and Diona showed that there's no good or bad elements/weapon types, it's all about good or bad characters.

 

[BlackM1st]

I think we will unlock next chapter in the future. Treasure hunting guy said that I should come back later for more maps.

Hmm, I guess I was expecting more standalone short quests like the ones we got today. Perhaps you're right and they'll continue this plot with the worker and his friend.

I mean, call me a weirdo, but that plot was literally the closest thing to interest I had throughout all these quests. Mechanically they're boring af, so I'd appreciate if the stories are at least passable.

 

[BlackM1st]

Hah, to each his own. Personally I always enjoy making sacrifices, serving Dark Gods and killing innocents. Genshin can be fucking grim and I like it. Man, I miss old Bioware and Obsidian games...

 

[x@3f*oo_e!]

NETWORK ERROR (eu)

PSN down apparently.

He was sad when he heard she couldn't come herself because she had to go to her husband.

I think it's just that. Like the plot of 50% of chinese films - everyone gets cock-blocked and they all die at the end.

 

[x@3f*oo_e!]

Just had an idea (can't play the game btw) - when you go to get the huge incense burner for the fake yaksha quest - they could have made it an anemo slime balloon escort quest .. that would have been fun

Roll and pray you don't get a 5 star.

Just take my hand and join me in the long wait.

 

[Saber]

So when the next character will release and who is?
Is Ayaka or that pyro spear girl?
Depending on the characters, I'm in for a long way to not spend prymogems.

It's Hu Tao.

I mean, after the Keqing banner.

 

[LegendOfKage]

New log in event started today offering a total of 10 limited banner fates.

 

[Astorian]

Wonder what a native version would bring.

 

[Dregnel]

i like the events but the rewards are something that would be amazing to someone AR 20.

 

[Dragon_Rocks]

Wonder what a native version would bring.

Other than faster load times, I don't think it will add anything else. Lod times are already better than PS4 on the PS5 right now.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

The pc version.

Dunno. DRS, HDR, 120hz option, 3D Sound, etc...

Game is currently capped at 60fps on PC, so the higher FPS option on PS5 (or PC) is probably not happening, at least not in the short term.

'Native PS5 game'. You know what this mean? Maybe Sony could helping them with money to make a native application on PS5 hardware. I can't see why.

At it's heart, GI is a mobile game. The "Native PS5" version is probably just going to be a port of the PC game, which currently doesn't go higher than 60fps, even though it isn't difficult to run.

Maybe future updates will allow for higher frame rates, but I doubt that money is what is holding back that option.

As I said before, If Sony is helping with money I can't see why. Sony was marketing this game since the BETA. Yes, if Sony is not helping is probably a PC port, without any PS5 advantage, so no much a effort taking into consideration the BC mode runs at 60 fps.

I prefer to believe Sony is doing because he can put his DualSense to work. All hypothesis

It's not money, The genshin engine is an upgraded honkai engine, and honkai supports 120hz.

Yes, like honkai.

Yeah, I really doubt that PS5 will get anything more than just a PC port. All we got from Sony was a sword and a pair of wings. Plus a pantsu censorship and platform locked accounts... ;_;
