I Wish Genshin Impact Made These Changes... 

I swear the biggest obstacle to me triple crowning my main was the fact that I was always busy on the days when her talent books were available, the daily domain thing SUCKS.

Keqing rly be training to fight THE ALMIGHTY RAIDEN SHOGUN AND THE MUSOU NO HISOTACHI Iykyk

Pity for 4 stars, PLZ MIHOYO I got 1 Kirara and like, 12 Xianglings pulling on Yelan banner.

20:58 I wanna say that the domains being time gated on what days you can farm is so that you can plan and scheduled your resin spending, but then i realized; "haven't I've been doing the same thing on HSR too? And HSR's domain isnt time gated." Fair point, Bran.

Watching This video after watching the 5.0 livestream is funny 😭

I'm not complaining about having nothing to do when I 100% my map and done all quests. I still have characters to ascend and weapons to level up.

not a very hot takes, Genshin's Abyss back in 2020 having lots of mechanism for players to do. 1. Hydro wave is the one where your character's CD will take so long to reset 2. The floor is lava, the one where your characters lose hp overtime (not only one character but whole entire party) 3. Lightning Struck, the one where it reduce the energy you have for burst per second guess what? it was actually almost the same mechanism they do with HSR where only certain characters be able to beat it instead of element. people hated it and they removed it completely. then what? the boss didn't really attacking the player back? remember how HARD Childe boss and Raiden Shogun were? people complaining and they removed it. the players are bad. i remembered those days were challenging but now, if only one character doesn't do damage people will be upset instead ofo adding more mechanism or bring back the old challenges to complete things.

The One thing Genshin need as a "Quality of Life" change is the Artifact selection / Recycling system, something like HSR literally. - Give in the Alchemy Table an option that allows you to turn artifacts into Artifact Enhancement Material (EAM) depending of the type of Artifact you convert, it gives you X amount. - Change the Artifact selection to make it like HSR, so you can Sort Artifacts by Set / Type / Main Stat / Substat (with the possibility to say "Need at least X of those substat on one artifact). - Make that Selection available for the Artifact Recycling, so you can easily sort out the Artifact you wanna dump into EAM.

Honestly time gated talents have never been a problem for me considering it streamlines what tasks to focus on. When it’s open, it’s all i focus on. When it isn’t, resin can go to boss mat, or artifacts. Specifically resources are still time gated by respawn. Then there’s the factor of places like the fountain, Sakura tree, and overworld chests that hold talent books. Not to say I’m opposed to domains opening up more but I’m not exactly mad at the game for making me interact with it instead of teleporting to the same spot without considering free treasures everywhere.

putting more combat in the middle of the archon quests is one of the worst takes I've ever heard honestly The fact that Neuvillette's story quest didn't have any combat was what made the quest one of the best in the game I want to see the story not be interrupted all the time by combat I can't describe my level of disappointment when I play Star Rail and the screen starts to crack in the middle of a dialogue

26:30 I think one thing that could alleviate that is if you could trade boss materials for other boss materials (HSR has that feature) you could have it with like Katherine or something as adventurers trading with each other for whatever reason Edit: Okay im gonna say it, hot take: being able to turn off constellations is never going to happen, no other gacha game has the ability to undo whatever duping mechanic they have. FGO you can’t make your character NP1 again, in Reverse 1999 you can’t undo the Portraits, you can’t turn off Eidolons or Cinemas in the other Hoyo games, toggle Cons is never gonna happen and there’s no good reason for it to happen

I hate how they did the theater. Now instead of trying to build 8 characters for 3 years and still unable to 36*, i need 18 within 3 elements?!? Literally how

watching this now after the stream feels silly

9:15 coop abyss.... this is just invitation for elitism and even more toxicity Bran, this is ultra bad idea. Few seconds before it you mentioned Lost Ark. Brother do you even know how massive issue this game has now with elitism when it comes to clearing multiplayer content? Same shit would happen in Genshin. In order to clear full coop abyss people would fucking scan your account for shitty artifacts, bad weapons, etc. and the moment you fuck up during gameplay: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEET it would be just "find static group or endure shit with randoms or hope elitists from discord/reddit/etc will see you worthy playing with them" like it happens in all multiplayer games this days. Brother, I tried weekly bosses few times with random coop matchmaker. It was fucking nightmare and unfun experience. People have no clue what they are doing, no once cares about team/elemental synergy, some people just run around with character that don't clearly have no artifacts and some decent weapon since the moment they start attacking the healthbar of boss barely move and one hit is enough to kill those players so you either carry them or just leave and do bosses by yourself in non coop mode

With my 4 years experience of Genshin , I can say that without lore or background, Genshin will feel bland & players have to bound themselves with it . Yeah they can add skip button on commission but now we can do whole commission without doing whole commission so it’s not a worth for them .

He just doesn't enjoy the journey. He just focus on the goals.

I find it so interesting how people are quick to say the HSR grinding experience is so much better when it’s far more expensive. Everything being open at once feels like a necessity because a single character wants more than a hundred of the lvl three materials, the weapon wants that same material, and the passives are locked behind it too! That’s not even mentioning relics cost 40 fuel and then another 40 for planar sets. Genshin gives you passive talents by just ascending and most characters tend to have a talent you don’t have to level. HSR has that too but it’s typically 1/4 instead of genshin’s 1/3 options so it’s still more work. Leaks got so bad in HSR partly because if you don’t know what to get ahead of time then you realistically might not finish by the time the next character shows up. By no way is Genshin’s grind system perfect but I would say it feels less intense due to characters being functional at lower investment way sooner than HSR characters.

One thing I've noticed about when people talk about genshin is that no one talks about the weapons For regular players that dont pull on the weapon banner, we are stuck with the same weapons we had since ver 1 Craftables are not amazing most of the time and not everyone gets weapons from the battle pass, so we all playing with favonius weapons still

Hangouts, when your try8ng to get to a different ending of one line after you've played it once does have a skip button, I've used it doing Kaveh's hangout and Kaeya's hangout (because I started doing them a couple months ago) so it is there for hangout quests now, but I do think it took them too long to add (despite the fact I started playing in like 3.0 or 3.1)

think this aged well in 2 days lol

the the issues that he pointed for new players, i honestly didn't even feel any of it, or just barely felt it. I have roughly been playing for 8 months now. Like how he mentioned it's harder to find bosses for characters, or materials. As a new player i ended up seeing it as a goal to achieve. Can't get boss materials for my kuki? ok then, Inazuma here i come for you! Not everything have to be spoon fed. We learn by going around figuring it out. and honestly when you start genshin, there is a red dot every 2 minutes so i ended up not even looking at the things it had to offer, like how we can track specific enemies and farm their drops. new players might find the amount of things to press and click around a lot. so genshin could give them options, but new players are just roaming around enjoying the world more than anything i think.

Oh my god it’s the funny tall attractive Micheal Jordan of Genshin Impact!

im watching this after the live stream and holy fking shit

I also wish they could give us an additional resin tank just like how in Star Rail your TB power could be stored if you don’t play for a few days for example, and maybe MAYBE increase the cap of how many Condensed Resin you can carry at a time

As a trans and non-binary Nigerian, raised under Christianity for the first decade of my life, the depiction of Olorun is just...something I'd rather not even have a depiction of at all, unless it's something inconcrete and diverse, such as a shape shifter, or a form that represents various things. Not that I want to police or critique how people present the orisha, but the meaning and symbolism behind Olorun is one even Smite has failed to realise, so if no one is actually going to have an open mind to a non-gendered deity, especially when the original believers of Olorun still go through the after-effects of colonialism as I'm speaking, then it's better (in my opinion) that you just don't create a form for Olorun at all

Resin isn't even the problem, but everyone assumes it is because it takes too log or the cap isn't high enough. The real problem is the avenues of spending that resin which is most of the time, farming artifacts.

I just want the mondstat expansion soon 😭

26:22 Not fine. I was one of those new players who got really excited by Shenhe's story in Liyue and pulled for her (my 2nd 5 star), then got her to level 40 and she was stuck there for ages. Not only because I had to do Inazuma first - which I stalled because I hated the way that zone felt to explore - but then because I didn't know how to start Enkanomiya for a while and still had to do that whole zone. She ended up not being leveled for months, but this happened to me with multiple characters, even standards.

28:10 I was a new player in 4.3 and and I didn't realize that I had a teleport point in fontaine until I was done with the Inazuma Archon quest. I had wanted to upgrade my Chevreuse but I couldn't for a while and I didn't realize that I had the tp point.

Bran i always go to your videos for the commentaries because i love your views on these things, theyre often realistic and considerate and im glad you defend the community and game as much as you do. i hate when people tell me that because i have criticism i hate the game- no i dont? im saying these things because i love the game and want it to be better just like majority of the community does.

1:22:30 mistahfeet wants changes to be made to the game and he thinks going f2p will solve it? why not just stop playing the game? they still get money from investors for their high player counts of f2p hypocrites who sit in their room for 24 hours clearing all locations and quests for primos thinking they're doing something

I don't know about others, but I think having a SKIP button is not OK. In Wuthering Wave, I completed the quests in under 2 hours but still don’t know any lore. If there wasn’t a skip button, I’d be more likely to read the lore, but since I don’t know the initial story, I just end up skipping it.

No your viewer was accurate. It IS a story game and Hoyo is going out of their way to show that, by NOT allowing to skip. You want the truth? It's like you open a book and you are surprised there is somethign written on the other side, and get upset everytime you find out "aaaah no not again, look they written something on this freakin page too". Why are they trying to tell a story and create a world in an open world Gacha duuude it makes no sense" Just let me skip everything while I complain that the Abyss is to easy, maan it's not that hard. If you do not like the story you should obviously play a different game. Most stories are well written and are not boring to follow. Dunyarzad, Enjou, Narzissenkreuz, Niloupar, Deshret, Jeht. None of these are bad or boring. The Samurai story in Inazuma I mean I can keep going I just think you forget what you have experienced.. They use the same method as Elden Ring Dark souls to present the game, the real story is in the item descriptions.

Id love a skip button for world quests, daily commissions or any quest that's not voiced only... I know its selfish... but id hate for them to add a skip button for story or archon quests cause id use it... I do love the story, I want to watch the story... but id still use it the moment i start hearing conversation i felt wasn't important... YES it is a selfish take, but its how i feel...

While I do agree that very important lore quests being sometimes significantly shorter than Story quests is weird, I heavily disagree with the Ayato quest take from that video, I personally found it extremely well made and crafted for the character that Ayato is. Not every quest has to be a hangout with the character or a sentimental one, Ayato's quest had so many intricacies and as much as the writing quality can be debatable since obviously being able to be engaging to the public is part of writing quality, but as long as you can read deeper into it, it has so many hints to how the political situation weights on the Kamisato facade, how Ayato deals with things he has to face, what he likes and dislikes about his work as well as how he sees people around him, how empathetic he can be or brutal, and some little trivial silly behavior he has despite the otherwise dignified persona he shows others. I don't know if his quest is my top one, since I personally do really love more emotionally driven stories like the Tighnari or Neuvillette one, or found family ones like the Lyney's.

Began playing on ver 2.3 p2 and very quickly in 2.4 got Yun Jin and Thoma. I was beyond frustrated they couldn't be levelled up further until I sail to BLOODY TSURUMI ISLAND. Even after finally wrapping up Liyue's story and setting foot on Inazuma. Trying to "overtake" the story pace and sailing direct to Tsurumi island was an exercise in vain since the BLOODY FOG there keeps booting me out. Locking character ascension materials in such an inaccessible location is just poor design.

The materials being in terrible locations I can second complaining. Pulls as a new player in Mondstat I got Kuki, loved her then I just couldn't use her because her level up material was locked behind an area that I literally had no access to. 5 star was Arlecchino since she looked cool, locked behind access to an even further point. Lesson, don't pull for new characters - cool.

Ok, this is something that kinda annoyed me for a while now about certain parts of the playerbase. The character stories that focus on a "random NPC" problem ARE about the character. The NPC's reflect and mirror the characters and are meant to serve as a focused look of a part of them. Nihlous is pretty good at that! Nihlous focuses on her passion and how much her home, the theater, influences her life, so much so that she will move into incredibly unfamiliar waters because of it. Inayah reflects that beat for damn beat! Nihlous main conflict in both the archon quest as well as her story quest is the careless disregard for art by the academia. Inayah struggles with her fathers careless disregard for anything other than her academic success and disregards her own wishes, so much so he tries to shut down her new family. Nihlou is forced into a situation where she is horribly out of depth, but manages to prevail because of the people she considers family helping and supporting her and she later pushes Inayah into a situation she feels out of depth in, reconecting with her father, and serves the same role her family served for her. It's a mirror, an alegory, some of the most basic writing technices you can think of! It doesn't mater if we never see the character again, it doesn't mater if you can't even remember their name, they have a purpose and that purpose is about showing you how the character ticks and what they value. And it often feels, like, people just don't get this.

OMG YOU REACTED TO THE FUNNY AND ATTRACTIVE MICHAEL JORDAN OF GENSHIN IMPACT

And in the section were it discusses the skip cutscenes, if they do add it when you do skip a cutscene the should add a little summary of what you skipped so you don’t just not know and in case you accidentally skip.

30:18 about this change… They said in the Developers Discussion about version 5.0; that AR 58 players will be able to ascend their world level to 10; which makes the bosses' level to 100/103, and guarantee the boss to drop 3 materials, and a chance of 4 materials

An option to remove a certain character from the gacha. I have like Cidek xiangling, I don't want more of her I could be getting constellations for other characters I own or get 4 stars that I don't have or even 4 star weapons are welcome, some of my characters are rocking 3 stars. Just anything but more duplicates for C6 characters.

At first, I used to skip through the story bc I mainly just cared about exploring (during Mondstadt and Liyue) but then from Inazuma onwards, I started actually caring about the story and enjoying it. I regretted not paying more attention during the first two regions but I watched some people's videos to try to understand more and jog my memory lol. But yeah, it would be good for the people who want to skip to be able to since when I was skimming through the story parts, it was tedious to do so.

Imma be so honest, I agree with so many of your comments on the game, but generally speaking, for my personal experience, as someone who lowkey no-lifes this game, I just want a skip button, not for Archon Quests, because those I prefer to do on my own, but for World Quests and Story Quests. My reasoning is, and I know I’m not anywhere near the average player, but imma be real, I’m disabled, I’m sight impaired (literally blind from one eye and legally blind from the other without visual aid- along with some other physical disabilities)… I care about the world quests and the characters and story implications, but sometimes… reading through 5 to 8 hours of dialogue is physically painful. I used to genuinely just, watch someone like Arnold (MurderOfBirds) or you play through it and then just skip the quest on my own account. Similar with Story Quests, I have over 7 of those to finish, and it’s not because I don’t want to, but sometimes sitting down for 1 hour and a half of dialogue that doesn’t impact (get it) the main story feels frustrated for me, sitting down for hours is already painful for me (as a disclaimer I’m just in pain, in general… the only way I don’t really feel much pain is laying down but even then). And since I’m in pain, I’d rather just use that time to do smth fun, or something worth my time if that makes sense. Don’t get me wrong Story Quests are amazing, but a lot of the times I’d rather just, watch someone play it, than playing it myself. This may seem contradicting to everything else I’ve said but I have all my areas 100%-ed, all my trees and fountains maxed, all of my statues maxed, most world quests done, all of my characters friendship maxed (except Emilie, I’m working on it) etc… i use the interactive map I admit, i started using it consistently right in the middle/end of Inazuma I think so although it has ruined parts of the exploring fun for me I’m just way too used to it. I’ve tried to explore Fontaine without it but i kept getting stressed about not marking the chest on then map so i went back to using it. I can’t imagine exploring the desert without it when the layered maps weren’t in the game

I didn't mind walking across the map in the dark to get to the boss I needed, but for certain bosses, I can see why it would be frustrating. Edit: I walked all the way to the waypoint for Fontaine (in the dark) because I didn't know it unlocked, then when I got there it was already activated. Very confusing cause at that point I had only been playing the game for a week.

NGL, the singular thing I hate the most about Genshin, are those damn "Defend the Pillar" Missions in the Abyss. It's basically "pull for Kazuha or show peak performance in mowing those mofos down ASAP". If htere's any better strategy to it than that - PLEASE let me know.

I think a lot of players and HoYo forgets Ayato is also the head of the Shuumatsuban where Sayu is a member. And they do shadowy stuff for the Kamisato Clan. That is infinitely more interesting. His story quest could have shown how he balances both roles but ignores it altogether. The only thing we see regarding the Shuumatsuban is in a trailer, not even in-game.

Bran should watch the Mujin video on the skin color controversy

1:18:24 The same reason bloody RDR2 is a horse riding simulator but people still praise that game for it: Realistic Immersion

the problem with genshins character design is that it shows that they are clearly racist if they adapt a culture really good and the only thing they change is the skin color because they see it as ugly, inferior or connected with bad bihavior or other bad stuff.

To those who plan to go f2p/quit because what hoyo is doing doesn’t conform to your world view, do it because you want to do it and not expecting that it will impact their decision, because your voice doesn’t matter as much as their Chinese players do. In the same vein, I wouldn’t be surprised if they dropped the EN voice lines altogether moving forward due to the strike, unless CN, JP and KR voice actors are also striking.

The problem with putting an endgame without a throughout discussion and long term planning will just result in a larger percentage of people getting upset but unable to remove it (otherwise the people who like it will be upset). So they are constantly experimenting various mechanics on limited time event to see how the player responds. To help develop a new endgame, best to do is still answer the feedback form rather than a RU-vid vid. If some idea keeps coming across from different people then it’ll at least be “considered” but no guarantee to be delivered. You saw how big their business is, and any other one could disagree on an idea of another when it comes to discussion. Unless you can actually think of some super cool idea that could instantly let at least 70% people in the office like, including the financial department, then it is guaranteed to be seen on screen.

AH MISTAHFEET YOU'RE SO FUNNY AND ATTRACTIVE, LOVE YOU❤

Disagree with the Daily materials being that problematic. Not that removing the time windows would be bad specifically, but its really just not that big of a deal, and I have no idea why people still get so pressed about it.... As you said yourself... Worst case scenario you have to wait 2 days at most. If only there was other things you could spend you resin and work on in the meantime.... Like Mora, character XP (leylines), Ascension bosses, weekly bosses, Artifacts or even just saving and condensing are all 24/7. And even then, you still have more potenial options on top of that like Weapon/talent mats (Whichever is the 'plan B'), or even check your other existing character's. So many other options that to me, it seems just insanely impatient to me if you can't wait until the right days. If you're building a character and you left their weapon or talents to last, that was just poor management. If you've just got a new character, most of the time you can pre-farm for them if you know you're going for them... Unless of course their materials are locked behind a new area, in which you're realistically not going to be able to build them instantly anyway unless you saved heaps of condensed and have all the time to collect all the local specialties from people's worlds. Even then, waiting (at most) 2 days, really isn't that big of a deal, you'll be fine. TL-DR: Again, not that removing the daily window restrictions for Talents/Weapon mats would be a bad thing, but it certainly isn't really a priority and is not even close to as problematic as people make out, imo.

I disagree that Genshin needs faster resin refresh and comparing it to HSR or even ZZZ is not fair in the slightness. Genshin's resin system is balanced based on the amount you need to farm. In Genshin all you need to do for your skills is level up 3. 90% of the time you don't even need to level all 3. In HSR you have 4 skills and while you can some times ignore one you still need to max 1 or 2 and level the third to a decent level. On top of that you have 3 kit defining passives that you need to grind for and numerous other small passives that sometimes don't even give you any important characters stats. Like why do I need to spend a whole days TB on one passive that gives my Kafka 6% more HP! Meanwhile in Genshin your passives unlock for free as you level the character. Also in Genshin you only need 5 artifacts (with the option of one off piece) meanwhile in HSR you need 6 and no off piece options. I think at this point, because of all the artifact xp and fragile resin they've been giving out, the only thing Genshin needs to do with regards to the resin is to introduce systems to improve the artifact grind and RNG. That will in fact directly impact the Resin economy and in a much better way than just giving us more chances to get screwed by RNG. Also I still think Ororon =/= Olorun.

i will never understand this obsession with making a live service game do as i want. if i am not having fun with a game i dont go around demanding things change for my sake and for my taste or how *I* feel they should change it. its why i left blade and soul, and why i left tof and why i left wuwa. if i am not havin any fun with a game i leave. my time and money are more precious than to staying around crying everyday how they dont listen to me cause *i* know better.

For me I can deal with the other points about lack of QoL but the one thing that actually made me quit the game is the lack of skip button, I like reading the story but the text goes too slow, I could read it 5 times faster if you could just see it all displayed like a page in a book, and after 20 minutes of reading, then being forced to wait for a second, then back to reading, I would always just quit, it's definitely some form of torture. The only objective reason why they haven't added the skip button is because it would make it easier to reroll and sell accounts, but folks who do that also use cheats to automatically farm materials and way more things also including skipping dialogue. If they want to discourage completely tech illiterate people from rerolling, just add the skip button for all quests after the main liyue quest, for example, and everything before that can't be skipped.

you will never get skip cutscenes, so just dead that shxt now so you're arent disappointed.

the daily domain feature literally made me quit Genshin its the worst thing i can possibly think of in Genshin aside from not having enough resin for basically anything

tower thing, yes, give me that, 100%

55:56 This is so so big, and important point you have made bran. We have always complained about: “Why this game doesn’t have much content?!?” “Why this patch feels empty!??” And the actual full problem is not from the game itself… The problem is that we put all of our time in this game. Like if we actually have a life; then we won’t see this problem. This is how we should play Genshin Impact. Also Genshin would be more fun if don’t always put your whole focus on this game; by having a life. And don’t worry about being what you said; rude. It was fine. :) ❤️

There is a key power scaling issue in this game between f2p and p2w. like abyss is not easy for all ar 58 players (myself included)

Finally someone who recognises that Ayato's story quest did its job of showing us his life and character, people just hate on it because there was no cutscene. Like guy is a politician, his job is literally fixing things behind the scene as quietly as possible, also he has the shumatsuban for more action (assassinating) stuff, so no there's no cool action cutscene cuz that's not his usual life.

Probably a hot take, but the abyss we had when dragonspine came out is the best abyss we've had. Fighting and trying not to freeze to death at the same time made it more fun for me. Chasing the fire seelie around the place with hilichurls running behind me was way more fun than whatever the abyss is these days.

Just ascended my Nahida to level 90 today......ive had her since her debut banner......i just wasn't in the mood to farm for her flower in sumeru....ever💀untill now

I get the mentality of 'I don't care, I enjoy the game as it is'. I am gonna say it, you're part of the problem. The changes that people asked for aren't fucking unreasonable. Some of these changes have been in other Gacha games OTHER than Genshin. Not to mention the lack of communication. Only now have they brought these changes. I wonder why. I legit just jumped ship. It doesn't hurt them to listen to the general community for once other than the cn community. Even ZZZ devs listened. During the three years I have in Genshin, I filled the feedback thingy every single time but nope, nothing.

I do all the story quests for my daughter because she lost interest in them. When she talked me into playing with her, the unnecessarily "wordy" rambling storytelling style put me off immediately. As a professional writer whose favorite authors include Ray Carver and Hemingway, I'm going to take this opportunity to go on a little rant of my own: a minimalist approach is more readable, more clever, more engaging, and less insulting to the readers..because it's very obvious that we're being manipulated into engaging longer--and that feels disrespectful. It's one thing to voluntarily dedicate a good chunk of your leisure time to a game; it's quite another to be manipulated into engagement by artificially repetitive and protracted sequences that are so blatant that your annoyance breaks your immersion: 'Ok, Paimon, we got it the first 2 times!' I have had to record quests and dialog sequences that flashed on the screen during battles because without voice acting I didn't catch them the first time on my own acct. This was notorious in the latter quests in the Jeht/ Liloupar stories. It's nice we'll get a recap feature, we'll see how they implement it before i pass final judgment. I have been pretty forgiving about the lack of VA because they have been maintaining such a tight schedule since "post-covid", but if those lines were voice-acted it would be much less annoying when they flash on the screen while you're in the midst of ingame multi-tasking. Finally, I was gobsmacked when Dawei bragged last year about the amount of words they had published. *Dude, you could have told the same stories even more effectively with half those words. Should have been embarrassed.* TL/DR? Feel free to SKIP! 😊

heck yeah! love mistahfeet man, ohmahgah

I wish they would at least use an epitome system for the artifact domains and boss drops. That way instead of getting random drops from Azhdaha, you could chart for a specific drop. You could chart for a specific artifact set instead of whatever it gives you at the end of the challenge. When I was farming for Archaic Petra I hardly got any. I kept getting the other set, I don't even have any characters that could really use that set. It felt like a huge waste of time and resin all for a two piece set bonus.

Farming materials in HSR is better like you can fully build a single character in one day because you can farm anytime

20:28 Arknights have this system of time locked farm, like you can farm this for two days, but now we move on to the next one in the rotation, but at least they have some event that unlock all of the stages for farming during a time period, like a week or more (sorry for bad english)

No more domain day restrictions or boss collection limits Material conversion And aiming for Catalyst users I despise skip buttons Have done faith in your story instead of letting people skip it, and if you're so interested in actions over story, go play doom or something. That's my opinion

29:22 Funny in 5.0 they not only made it so trial gives you enough to insta scend them to level 60, you don't have to do anything more for it beside just beating the trial like till now =D

My cat ate a hat

I loved the 2.2 event. Normally I hate strictly fighting events because I have arthritis. I also like Star Rails simulated universe. There's still fighting, but also a chance for other challenges in there. I was F2P for 2 years and now a low spender. I can't afford either the time or moneyh to level up every single character. I use condensed resin all the time (again time constraints). What I'd like is a way to choose at the domain for regular/double/triple rewards based on amount of resin spent. IOW skip making condensed resin at all. Also, there is no reason we couldn't use ocndensed resin on a boss. You use 40 resin to make condensed resin. Just give the same boss drops for a condensed resin.

I feel like the guy is complaning is coming from a RU-vidr/Twitch person and not from just a person playing the game and not trying to make money off of it.

I agree that Metropide first act was tedious but like Ken said, it actually helped shape the prison environment and for that it was worth it

16:15 I mean, what he's saying is litteraly what Wuwa does. You have 240 deepplates, you have a 480 overcapping (or 420, don't remember) and domains cost 40 or 60

9:35 co-op is incredibly laggy. The other players start fighting the domain before i can even move lol.

My take on World Bosses is that yeah they should be region specific to where that character lives... Which I'll then follow up with a Hot Take on Banners. I wish there were Nation Specific Banners. Sort of like the Standard Banner, but either you can select which region or the region cycles. That way if you just started the game you can use standard wishes on a Mondstadt Banner and thus not be stuck with Level 40 characters for the next 60 hours (or be forced to use Traveler, Amber, Lisa, Kaeya) Granted I'm also the type to play with Level 40 Nahida and Furina in my team despite being AR 56, and I can say with Furina being my team's only healer the game still isn't hard.

when i used to be a too low ar level to do the next archon quest i will go to the next nation and get all the statues and waypoints so i dont have to worry about it later

i stopped doing character story quests after Yae Miko's. Her's was so disappointing that I didn't want to continue wasting my time doing them. Also, the issue I have with people getting bent out of shape regarding character skin tone is that people need to become MORE educated about China. Genshin impact is a Chinese made game. China is very anti skin tone. in fact China puts rules and regulations on American made content involving said skin tones. So they will probably NEVER create a character that represents proper dark skin. People either need to get over that fact, or they need to find another game to play...

i was super excited for imaginarium but ended up rly disliking it because i couldnt use the characters that i actally enjoy playing (and have spent time and money saving up for). i wish they’d just add hard end game with bosses that are specific to that mode, that has a high difficulty in terms of mechanics, and something that actually tests your skill more than being a damage check.

Holy cow i played since release and totally forget that archon quests give you primogems lol I just dont give af about them while playing for the story

i didnt find imaginarium theater high investment at all. i leveled up 3 characters just for it to fit the character needed and passed with 8 stars. and out of all maybe only 5 characters were high invested, and rest were mediocre just working

1:04:22 No lie that recent " pick any five star from Mondstat" banner we had, i thought it was a prefect replacement to the normal standard banner, but it used the same fates as the limited banners which made it just unnecessary. if it replaced the standard banner and used blue fates it'd be perfect.

brah yepping about endless tower as everyone is streamer n has nothing todo but grind that shit for 500hours that concept would never be good in any gatcha game even grindy mmos such as osrs has negative feedback on zuk waves n its only 60waves, lost ark that tower is like 60 floors n it never resets n its locked behind item lvl so u cant even start n finish it n even then after years devs realized n compressed it into 20 floors or so

mistafeet is one of the few good genshin cc

I will never understand choosing to play an RPG type game and insisting on skip buttons. Story is one of the drawpoints. From a game standpoint, loading happens during those scenes. I'd rather go through interactions and stories than endless loading screens. Especially in a game like Genshin where so many players don't read/pay attention to the story and make statements proven wrong in game it's a meme. Why give people more ammo against us.

One good rant deserves another. So I'll just leave this here to clear my mind. Genshin has an excellent framework for a game but the gameplay itself is often poor. 

The world is beautiful and the music is excellent. But much exploration time is spent on puzzles and combat tasks that are repetitive, simple, and poorly integrated into the environment. For the story, the world building is exceptional and the basic plot outlines are very good. But most of the narrative is communicated through poorly written dialog that fails to be dramatic, comedic, or significantly advance the plot or develop the characters. I will frequently go hours in quests without a plot or character beat landing emotionally. This would be bad writing in any medium, but even more so in a game which, by nature, should be interactive and goal driven. In a quality movie or novel everything that appears has a purpose, often more than one. Nothing is incidental. Not all games need meet this standard. But in Genshin the story is central to the experience. I don’t want a skip button. I want good writing. Many others have pointed out how Genshin underutilizes a diverse, intricate, and generally well-balanced combat system. I would add that it also does a poor job of teaching the combat system in the game. You largely have to go to outside sources to learn to build and play your characters. Getting better at a game by playing the game is more fun than getting better by collecting resources and watching guides. And the Genshin combat system could be used to develop such content. There is some cause for hope. The Monstadt and Liyue quests had much better dramatic pacing. So they do have some experience with better writing. I don’t know why they let it get so bloated, especially in Sumeru. But they have reduced the bloat somewhat in Fontaine. I have found myself more consistently engaged with the recent stories and Simulanka was overall quite good. Simulanka also did a much better job of integrating the combat, quests, and puzzles into the environment. Hopefully, this augurs well for Natlan. They have been adding more combat (Theater) and the planned world level increase is welcome. But really, I don’t just want more character and DPS checks. I want combat and puzzles that require thinking and practice.

My mum let me watch one more video before bed

22:00 Wait what, I been on your channel for so long and I'm just learning about this 😅😂😂

The "there is nothing to do" applies to maybe 5% of endgame players, however I am one of them. I have all characters at friendship 10 besides the newest 2 sigewinne and emilie because there hasn't been enough time yet to get them up. I have every single achievement besides the 1 time locked achievement for imaginarium theater which is get 9 toy medals and you can only currently get 6 until it resets on september 1st. I have all of the items from the fishing stores in every nation. Yes I know I'm chronically online however I've been playing since launch and most of these things I just did when they came out. Problem is some updates don't add achievements at all and some updates only add 1 story quest and 4 events with only 1 of them having a story like 4.5 where they gave us about 6 hours of content for 6 weeks. That was the worst update in the history of updates for any game

Also you thinking that it's totally okay to only be able to level a char up to 40-50 and then being time gated into ascending them any further IS absolutely a hot take. It's one of my least favorite things about Genshin. I wanted to restart a few times for a fresh f2p perspective but knew that if I did pull a newer character, the natural progression early would feel so bad that I'd probably just quit. EDIT: I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THE FACT THAT HONKAI STAR RAIL LITERALLY FIXES THIS BY MAKING THE MAT STAGES FOR NEW CHARACTERS AUTO-UNLOCKED AND TELEPORTABLE WHILE THEIR BANNER IS OUT. JUST DO THIS IN GENSHIN

I am maybe only one who loves Imaginarium theater 😐 And I dont understand why People so Angry... Oh wait I know People dont want to think about the game they just want to smash few buttons do the abyss in 0.01 second and wait for another month to restart.. 😂 Those People does not know what fun is and font want to play games... 😐👍 Games are made for fun and for Playing... Only thing I want from Genshin is to be a game to be a game not daily task I want some EndGame Content which give us materials mora and exp that you can play daily or weekly or monthly and dont need any timed restart the Genshin is Brilliant game but I hate that all fun is missing bcs its a Ffffff Daily task game 😮‍💨 fffff Fomo shLt that every new game is today

29:20 it's funny watching after 5.0 stream cause they did exactly THAT HAHA

I really wonder why there is co-op in this game. Especially since there is not a single co-op specific content.

Just realised i have 1000+ hours in genshin and im not even a year old players ☠️

I have a second account where I'm AR35 and my only 5*s are Furina, Mona and Tighnari and I don't have a lot of 4*s either so I can't play Imaginarium Theatre because I only have like 3-4 of the characters needed. I also wish for a skip button because I have to play the Aranara quest and others of similar length again so PLEASE let me skip it.

Most of these would be cool with me. However, people have to realize that the fans Hoyo care about most are the Chinese ones, and the Chinese like their characters light-skinned. If they make these Natlan characters the "correct" pigment, sales would plummet in China and that's what they care about. Take Disney for example; they love to place darker skin characters in everything, but on the Black Panther posters there they rid that the main character is black, and on their Force Awakens poster they shrunk down John Boyeda compared to the USA version of the poster.
