Protest Genshin Impact - What Hoyoverse Doesn't Want You to Know 

bro is too kind fr 🥺

I have only one thing to say.... Genshin Dev team and Honkai dev team are two different... and going to Star Rail, or for me being a 5 year Honkai Impact 3rd player... leaving Genshin to HSR actually does something as Genshin Dev team and the Producer Caiyu (Caiyu was removed from HI3 producer and David Jaing took over 2017 and HI3 gotten better since) are the team focus on Genshin and not Honkai.

10:32 you contradicted yourself, you talked about hoyoverse being a PRIVATE company due to them not having good records or balance sheets yet talk about them goin to fail when investors pull out, this makes no sense what so ever. hoyo doesn't have to care about this PRESCISELY because they are a private company, its one of the reasons why valve will never go public no matter how much profit margins they have

12:20 I laughed when you included arknights, the game where you literally cannot increase the power level of characters with money and with the lowest ceiling for whales across all gatcha games

@@NeostormXLMAX I guess I'll go ahead and address this: private companies still have investors. Thought that was common knowledge given the popularity of Shark Tank, so never expected anyone to be confused by it. They don't have shares that are publicly traded, but they do still have direct investors that have stakes and provide funding. The money to get the game off the ground and published has to come from somewhere

Personally I wouldn't call this situation as them being blind to feedback I see this as hoyo being willfully ignorant to any feedback we give them

If its minority then of course they just gonna ignore the feedback

We are a dollar sign to these companies they don’t care about us.

@@supernieva2419 show a proof where a million followers lost is a "insignificant minority"?

​@@reianvinceclaros6175especially customer support don't listen what players problem

Man... It might happen to Genhsin though... (Im just praying it would, hehe~~)

fr like why are they so UGLY hoyo?

my bros got cursed into an NPC, I at least before the quest was hoping that moon carver will look like a peak male performance type of dude just like thor in GOW (y'know cuz he's like deer on roids) and Mountain shaper look like wise adult man but holy damn am I disappointed to look at them now TvT

because Mihoyo probably dont want reveal if they're going to be "playable" yet, if Mihoyo decided to, they might get actual "handsome" form lol~ That's what adeptus do~ they can use many forms or their preferable forms.

the company is lazy and get billions from people for doing bare minimum. Just look at their NPC: same facial expression for 3 years, same face variation, same animation.

madame ping is playable, they scrap the idea and release xianyun instead. its not the matter of money its the matter of when will their lore get revealed. this lore dependent game be making me nuts too sometime

THIS, video was already spot on and needs to be the real voice to reach the community. But tying in that point- in a reconfigured way to include it would/should/could open some real eyes, even if it means just a re-upload with that. You mentioned how people click based on # of views for videos (at least new players), I have and always will; in every niche I explore and view content- always go by upload date, so I don't think it would hurt. Proves a lot of your points too. 🤷‍♀

not one of the lowest but THE lowest out of the four companies you mentioned

I agree, Genshin is one of those games where skill and proper team planning takes you further than constellations, but in HSR I got to disagree since the enemies often ask for shield breaks with a specific element and the content is extremely hard if you don't have certain characters

@hoshi4038 I guess to go more into detail regarding HSR, its more like gatcha games similar to FGO. Fundamentally, even with HSR's break mechanic, you're still basically trying to get the highest damage in order to clear its version of abyss in minimum turns. Fundementally its not a game change to the extent that genshin was and can easily be dropped to other gatcha games that more or less does the same thing by either bringing a better endgame, gameplay, or other differing incentives.

​@@whyr1sI'm not trying to fanboy or play def for HSR but unironically I'm curious where these games who do things better are hiding, cause fk me except for Arknights which is peak, I can't think of any.

@ogcipher4967 I mean that just comes down to preference, really. Haven't played arknights personally but if that works for you then its fine. The best example I could give would be something like FGO. Both are menuing games but rather than starrail that mainly locks its endgame meta to 3 game modes (quote me if im wrong i haven't played since kafka came out), fgo has its "endgame" through the whole way through. Sure, you're basically fucked if you dont have the proper buffing servants, but once you do, you can basically use any character you like and flex as hard as you want. This is also with better writing/story content than hsr.

I quit HSR when after only 8 banners I couldn’t get a new 4star character to save my life. I wanted that quantum healer bad, but what got me is it was only 8 banners. it took me like a year and a half in genshin, so maybe I’ll pull again in a year. every now and then i go on and spend a little energy I still want to build my Welt but i won’t pull for a long time maybe ever

Tech Otakus Save The World still exists, its on the Honkai Series. Y'all acting like Genshin is the only HoYo game

😔was such a horrible sad thing ... Rip

I have nothing else to add I just think this video is pretty neat

This statement is also absolutely untrue imo. They realized this and started making c1/2 lowkey required on some characters. Neuvillette at c1 lets you not get ragdolled. Wrio without c1 feels like absolute crap. Most newer 4stars have butchered kits till c6. Then you have char like Baizhu who has a 20s cd ult and a 10s cd skill and c1 adds another charge. 20=10+10 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, almost like it was intended that way. All characters (except Dehya) are playable at c0 but many are not complete imo. That doesn't invalidate the non whale point tho, whales would go for c6, dolphins would go for c1/2.

You don't understand how sales are calculated or how publisher tax wrong. So, theres 2 possible scenarios: 1. They gifted these packs to creators via their own client, in which case they dont have to pay anybody 30% cut for transaction. However that would also mean that the revenue wouldn't be calculated on the chart everyone us referencing, as it specifically calculates only ios/android revenue. 2. They bought these packs themselves via appstore, and thats just stupid, because they would have to pay 30% of money to apple, which is just kinda stupid, and frankly they don't have a reason to do that

@@kiuhh1118 well, if they dont have to pay the 30% it's even better for them. The updated chart is better to look at currently since it went from 1 to like 4 or 5th

I think they may have overcompensating on the banner. It was so artificially high that they looked fake under the current circumstances.

@@KarelTheKaiser , they dont have to pay 30% tax because it is not purchased by them. If it is not purchased then it doesn't count as revenue in any trackings, how is this hard to understand?

That's a really good point. I hadn't thought about that. There isn't really any reason to doubt their loyalty as consumers before then, afaict

That's because Mihoyo doesn't want loyal genshin players in the first place, we already kinda know they didn't think much about genshin's future when it released as they thought it wouldn't succeed that much, therefore they didn't take the extra mile to actually develop more than 3 years worth of assets before launch. If they wanted loyal players, they would atleast nail the 1st anniversary, they wouldn't have stripped important characters from the inazuma story until 2.5, they wouldn't have increased bloat dialogues from 3.0 onwards, they wouldn't have stopped doing the special events related to new exploration zones after 3.0, they wouldn't have made Dehya as a disappointing character right before HSR's release...etc (HSR related provocations such as the amount of QOL on release, events being lightheartly introduced as permanent endgame content and free Dr ratio also count). they actively seek to weaken the glue between genshin players and genshin to wedge in their more polished product as the dev team is insecure about their ability to maintain genshin properly on the long run. Their whole plan was to release HSR and ZZZ (with better content planning this time) earlier inside of genshin's life to garner as much global players as possible to them (genshin was still aimed to be a carrot for global audiences despite the gamble hoyo took), then they'd EOS genshin right after the story finishes (on the 6th year) and they release HI3 part 2. The fact that genshin is an openworld and that HSR is a turn based, and that HI3/ZZZ is a hack n slash doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, people swipe their cards because they want to their waifu/husbando's cons as well as copies of their weapons, not because they want a billion resin to actually enjoy the gameplay (and you already get cockblocked if you try to buy a lot of resin anyways). However something probably went wrong and they couldn't release HSR faster, maybe the genshin playerbase was too much attached to genshin on the first 2 years, maybe the goofy aah Unity engine genshin and HI3 were built on was too limiting....., who knows. TLDR : Genshin from the beginning was only meant to attract global players/non gacha players, Hoyo then wants them to spread out to their other games as they want to diversify their sources of income.

@@aidentrd2882 That makes a lot of sense, and obviusly they didnt expect a) People liked genshin so much to stick with it and b) HSR have almost no retention rate, a lot of people quit pretty fast.

Agreed. I think what hurts the most is their silence. They really just wanna ignore the playerbase so that we seem like the “minority” opinion that doesn’t reflect the actual majority. Like wow, that’s a great way to make us despise you, thanks for pretending we don’t exist, and actually make genshin defenders use this as a way to invalidate our complaints. I love being labeled as unimportant.

Boost since I was going to comment similar. It's ultimately a minor nitpick to a great video, but it is silly to use Arknights as an example of high-whale-ceiling when the characters cap out at one dupe less than Genshin, those dupes only improve numbers rather than new abilities so they are almost never a break point, and there are no weapons/other gear to farm or roll for. The first pull is the only rng, after that it's all fair and equal power progression. And getting good 6*s isn't even the key to success, some units might be "more meta" but success is always about matching the challenges with strategy, so higher rarity units aren't always the best answer. Their power comes at an increased price that not every mission can afford to spend, while very basic abilities on widely-available 3/4* units can be more effective than their flashy 6* counterparts. There's a reason for the meme that you know a mission is serious when the strategy includes a 1* unit. The one thing AK does get criticism for when it comes to whale-bait is the Limited characters that can only be obtained again when they get rerun... the thing Genshin does almost exclusively. And even then the borrowing mechanic means you still have access to them.

@@zeroiscubed7823 Yep. And I agree it's just a nitpick, but I would like to set the record straight because it could make potentially interested new players shy away if it's painted as a whale-heavy game to progress. As for Limited banners, that's why people just save most of their pulls for them and people eventually come around to just waiting for the guaranteed shop rotation or getting spooked by the unit they want that isn't limited. It sucks, but the game has to compromise somewhere. Also compared to Genshin, we know those Limited get rerun every time the themed event comes around so there is a chance for spook, or a spark. The downside is often the year long wait between said themed events.

Arknights does have powercreep and meta operators. Mylnar, Texas Alter, Yato Alter, Ines, etc etc etc. They make content way more easier. But if the bottom line is to get all rewards and the ability to clear all content, then there sure isn't any point to chase meta much. F2p can really be enjoyable in that game. Similar to Genshin, the only PvP is in community. And both communities hate kektone for some ahem reason. We're all on the same page.

@@qwp1026 It doesn't have much in the way of powercreep, not really. You look at most guides and a good chunk of the characters used are old ones. Saria, Eyja, Exu, Blaze, Ifriit and so on remain staples. Sure, some new characters have joined them, like Thorns and Mountain see a lot of play, but for most, it is usually due to being able to do something different, rather than straight up better numbers, meaning they are more niche, map specific, rather than general use. And due to that, most of them are situational. You don't really use Mylnar that much. Regular Texas and regular Yato see more use than their alters. Ines only for certain "see cloaked unit" situations. And while sometimes a unit like Mylnar can be very advantageous for a certain stage, Arknights lets you borrow one unit from someone else. So you don't even need to have that newer, more niche unit. Which means it has about as much power creep as Genshin, as many meta units as Genshin... and the ability to borrow one you need but don't have. Overall, friendlier to newer players. The one thing that does hinder Arknights a little bit is that they keep upping what "max level" means. You've got E2, then mastery for the skills, now modules on top of that. And all of that means it takes more time to reach the lofty heights. But that isn't pull dependent, and the stuff is still being cleared with mostly 3 and 4 star characters, with one borrowed 6 star. Though we are getting to a point now where enemies are getting tough enough that, shortly, the clears in the more new player guides might require two six stars, which will put them out of reach of the "borrow one character" aspect.

@@qwp1026 yep yep. I don't deny that some units are strong and have pushed the overall power level of the game up, but that creep has helped give everyone more tools and fun, rather than existing to drain the whales' wallets. And the meta has evolved without completely trashing the old. I still use Saria far more than Mudrock, I could go on for days about finding good uses for weird 5*s that get no meta attention, and even poor Silverash sometimes gets his day over Mlynar due to his revealing invisible enemies passive or if Mlynar's extra taunt ends up as a negative.

Or what feeling nothing will change no matter what they do, so they silently give up.

Lol

Tectone or Asmongold? nvm, it's probably both

It's probably going to be Asmond reacting to Tecton, reacting to this xD

@@TrashMPred awesome! I can't wait for Asmon's reaction to M Tash's commentary on Tectone's input regarding Asmon's discourse of Tectone reacting to the Genshin whale video

This pretty much happens all the time with overly large casual fanbase from franchise like pokemon and overwatch, but yeah I had been there and I'm so tired of it. I for one don't care about the 3 wishes because I have hoarded a ton of primo with no where to use because I already full clear every spiral abyss at ease since raiden banner. If you go into r/overwatch, you would often see people gatekeeping the suggestion of wanting harder combat content, "if I can't or don't like playing it, then everyone shouldn't" it's hilarious.

Overwatch was actually great when it first released, but ofc because blizzard deteriorated over time, so did overwatch, they are literally unrecognizable these days. As for the 3 wishes, i also don't care about that that much, i just want more QoL changes and more stuff to do weekly/daily.

Can I ask what bootstrapping is?

@@legotoilet-paper The relevant process is explained in the video, but I believe the term is not correct here. I believe that what Hoyo has presumably done is labeled "buyback", not "bootstrapping". In short, they are using their capital to buy their own product (or shares), in this case primogems, in order to boost the apparent sales. This way, they can show external investors that Hoyo is "doing fine" to avoid having them leave due to risk of loss of return of investment.

@@nwoDekaTsyawlA Does Hoyo has external investors? I guess that Sony counts considering they have kinda of a partnership, but outside of them I don't think they have any.

​@@nwoDekaTsyawlA, mhy is a private company, they dont have investors besides only one that sits at 15% of company which is not important. So your theory doesn't even make sense, especially if you consider that they would have to pay 30% fee for each purchase they so to boost their ratings, which is again nonsensical, because they dont have to proor anything to anybody.

@@kiuhh1118 please understand that this is not my theory, I am reiterating what's in the video. I am not fully convinced they did the buyback, I am explaining what buyback means.

Most people probably won't think to do it until they see someone else do it and find out why.

My genshin bio is “HoyoSTINGYverse” for a while now 🤡

I mean this video only has a few thousand views. What we can do is recommend this to other content creators to spread the word.

Sorry, I've uninstalled before changing name. But I don't think I need to as offline user won't be shown in co-op.

Whales definitely do carry it, but worth noting that whales includes more than the giga-whales. It costs $100 for 50 pulls. 100 pulls won't guarantee you a featured five star. So basically any player that has a decent amount of five star weapons from the weapon banner? They're a whale. They're spending hundreds of dollars on this game, every year. Sure, the spending might be a lot less than someone who c6R5s every character, but even c1-c2 + r1 weapon for a third of the characters puts you pretty solidly in whale territory. This is why Genshin likes to have OP C6s, for the giga-whales, and highly desirable C1/C2s, to entice other players to be these smaller whales, the ones that will still spend quite a bit, just not too much in one sitting, and not for every character. But over the course of a year... it adds up.

@@Axterix13 Absolutely. "Dolphins" is what they're usually called I think. Whatever they're called, when you parse out that group from 65 million active players each month in 2023 and averaging $30 million per month in revenue, you end up at a really small percentage of people spending at all. For example, it seems a reasonable assumption that no one spends $1 on gems. They would wait five months and buy the $5 pass for an astoundingly better deal. So, assuming that everyone spending each month buys the $5 pass maximum. That would mean 6 million people on average spending per month, which means that an average of 59 million active players are completely F2P (if there were no whales or dolphins, because we know that's not true, that means there are even more F2P than the average). Ultimately, I think the game is monetized wrong for the audience it interests the most.

Do you know anyone that follows the Chinese Genshin scene? Because if you do, you will know why they are so reluctant to add end game content.

@@Olytis i dont know

Same happened to me. I had some fun with the nahida I got for my nilou, killed some enemies, realized I had to do aaall the farming for nahida and uninstalled. Its just not worth it.

I'm not saying you're wrong for hating a game, but you can boil down any video game to "press buttons and do said task." I personally never understood people's praise for Dark Souls games when it's literally just i-frame dodge rolls: the game. 🤷

I uhm… already completed chenyu vale and can confirm it was only 20+ wishes I still managed to get xianyun but that was lucky. also chenyu vale is what we basically exspect from Genshin at this point so really mid…

@@Goujiki I never said what I disliked about the gameplay. It's not just "pressing buttons to do task", so I will explain because I feel I have legitimate annoyances with the way Genshin does its characters kits and combat. I don't like stuff like skills that make exploration easier being tied to specific character kits. Like double-jumping, flying, the ability to enter a faster sprint etc. I feel like all characters should have access to at least double jumping. Traversal is kinda boring unless you have certain characters. Specific characters' kits are extremely cool in a vacuum. You'll see a lot of awesome normal attack animations or even really cool skills or bursts. But once most characters join a team, they become a one/two-trick pony, where they're relegated to entering the field for a couple seconds to use their skills and/or bursts before swapping out. There are only a few characters which you use their entire kits to their fullest (they're usually the ones that remain on field to drive reactions). Speaking of reactions, I don't find the system all that engaging. Most of them are combining two (or three in the case of some Dendro reactions) elements to get bigger numbers. Some of the ones that have extra effects aren't as valuable unless you have specific characters (like Superconduct, Overload, Crystallize), but having those specific characters don't make those reactions as a whole better. It's a bandaid to a much larger problem we've been waiting years for fixes.

that's literally me, Chenyu Vale at 100% exploration, from which I got a grand total of: 23 pulls

The idea isn't to lock it behind a paywall. It's to be able to skip directly to it with purchase. I also want them to remove content locks. This has been a problem since Inazuma. Players jump in, find out they can't build certain characters because Inazuma is inaccessible, and ditch.

Same here. I play solely for the Traveler lore, Aether and Lumina's story need to be expanded on.. It's like this game pumps out attractive and likable characters just to sell them to you and forget about them entirely next patch. So stupid - I can't begin to imagine what it's like being interested in a 4* character's story like that.. At least I get to look at the Traveler for every quest.

The tragedy of Kayea is that he is a STANDARD 4* character which means hoyo can't sell him on banners which means he will never be truly relevant. Doomed main

I always try to explain to friends and family how monumentally crazy the revenue for raiden has been over and over and over again. It’s insane.

only 2.0, from 2.1 onward was calamitous, was tye first aniversary, the story star fine in 2.0 but 2.1 continuation of the history suck, a lot of drama about characters power level where Riden, Kokomi, Ayato and Yae get really bad first impresión, if anything, who save 2.X patch was Enkanomiya, Sima and Yelan

@@robertoalexandermendezmore408 I agree but if you go look at the revenue charts for raiden if I’m not mistaken she’s made more money for hoyo than any other character ever. Don’t quote me on this. I’m referring to total revenue across all of her banners.

@@lorraineviruet8973 o yeah, that true, in anycase Genshin doesnt give refound for characters, many whales want riden refounds becose Riden C6 have a error in the description that also lead a confusion between her synergy with Beidou... the error was fixed 6h later

Tbh, most people that whine about Genshin's lack of end-game don't even touch abyss. I've brought it up in other videos, but when people say, "There's no end-game," they generally mean they aren't satisfied with the end-game and want something different. Despite the fact so many people with that sentiment formed it based on other's opinions without participating in it themselves, the sentiment itself is fair. There should be more to do. The latter half of 3.x actually had some pretty fleshed out and challenging combat events that went overlooked because HSR was the new shiny thing. A few, I think, would actually work really well as permanent end-game modes. If nothing crazy happens, that will probably be my next video

@@Souldapop I find that most people asking for "difficult" actually are looking for "satisfying". Generally, overcoming something difficult is more satisfying and requires more engagement and knowledge, so it makes sense to make that jump, but it doesn't really work for Genshin. Harder enemies can't change that your combat engagement is mostly limited to basic dodge and following instructions for boss mechanics. Learning a new team and a new rotation is the fun engaging part, not using that rotation 4 times instead of 1 because the enemies are difficult. So the simple answer seems to be more new characters for more new teams, but that runs into issues with other systems. A cornerstone of the game's design is how unique every character is in lore and design, and in the harsh primo and resin economies balancing this lower quantity. Just shoving in more gameplay ideas faster would require reworking everything (which could make a better game, but the point is that it's so much more complicated than just "improve endgame"). The biggest problem with abyss and endgame in general isn't the difficulty, it's that most players don't even have the resources to experiment with teams, the fun and engaging part, and rely on guides to have that fun for them.

Those Abysses weren't too bad, overall, other than the one with the bishop. That one wasn't even really hard, but more annoying, due to being a bit too element specific. And "annoying" is generally what people complain about in the Abyss. Like consecrated beasts? They're not hard if your characters can take a hit. Wenut isn't hard if you don't rely on a team that requires a bunch of setup before it can deal damage. And that just leaves the damage checks. Those are ones that care a bit more about how developed your account is (though skilled play can help there, of course). But the thing is, end game doesn't have to be that kind of difficult/annoying. Arknights has its rogue-like mode. One thing about it is that it gets harder as you go along, but regardless of how far you get, you make progress on the reward track. So a weaker player can do more, but shorter runs, and still get the rewards. And the reward tracks don't expire either, so no FOMO. Just do it when you want. And they tack on more each month, so more to do over time. The problem with Genshin is that the devs made a choice to cater the game to the Chinese 9/9/6 crowd. Just a little something for them to do to unwind (so not too hard) and/or occupy them on the train ride home. So they want very low required playtime per day, and consequently, low incentive to play much longer than that. And due to that, there's nothing to do once you are past that point. Nothing that feels rewarding on that day you have more time. And it also doesn't help that the world caps at WL8, which means most enemies on the open world are absolutely trivial to a mature account.

@Axterix13 okay, two questions about that, if you don't mind. One: don't people complain that the devs 'pad' Genshin with 'unnecessary' content already? Say they implemented longer fights tomorrow. Wouldn't the players say HoYo makes them jump through hoops to get 5 primos? Because I assume the rewards wouldn't be sky-high. They might not even include primos. Would you still fight? Two: on a related note, didn't they try to implement that (kind of) in Inazuma with Labyrinth warriors where we had that long dungeon? Did you personally enjoy that? For me, it felt like a daily commission that won't end, and I can't say it was satisfying.

@@AmoritaStorre what I commented above applies to a lot of this too: people complaining about not enough difficulty/too much padding tend to be actually having a bad time because the combat isn't satisfying enough at any length. If combat got twice as long without changing much else, I would absolutely complain. But if they put in a weekly that takes 30 minutes to do because it has all the complexity and quality of a good Monster Hunter fight or an FF14 raid, I'd love it regardless of rewards. But like Axterix said, it is super unlikely to happen, because despite how wide of an audience feel in love with Genshin, their target has always been the casuals, the dead-tired train ride home after a brutal work day, the candy crush moms, not the people who would actually benefit from more depth and satisfaction to the combat. That's also my personal theory for why Star Rail and ZZZ even exist. Star Rail for the people begging for for satisfying classic gacha experience, ZZZ for the people begging for more meaningful action combat. Start from scratch to satisfy Genshin's found audience, rather than change Genshin away from its intended audience.

As a new player who played at launch before quitting summary: I am amazed how much stuff is still the same or worse: 1. The glider is still way too slow, i'd trade 50% extra stam use for a 50% speed boost any day of the week. 2. The Battle Pass has not changed at all? Its still terrible. 3. Resin cap still just 160?? Why, lol. That's so bad. It should be double that by now. It was a bad mechanic that existed at launch to prevent people getting too high adventure rank and still exists even with people capped AR anyway for no reason. 4. The standard banner now features 4 star characters you can unlock that require materials from area's you don't have access too in order to ascend them. I got Sayu and realised I can't level her above 20 because of her impossible for now requirements. 5. The Standard banner is too diluted, it was bad at launch and somehow much worse now. It should have been split when new characters added up into 2 seperate standard banners that use the same wish, one with Liyue/Mond characters and the rest on the other. So new players can focus on characters they can actually level. OR Allow a focus option that increases the chances of what you would want, anything really. 6. There is still only one weapon banner going at a time after all this time? The game has SO MANY limited weapons now that's actually insane. How is it ever possible to get the weapon you may actually want? You need to wait like 1-2 years for its banner to return then spend everything? It was ok at launch because all the weapons worked on every character as every weapon was pretty universal. Didn't get WolfBlade but for the sky one? Congrats you still ended up with a bis weapon. The weapon banners look so bad now, the fact that only one runs at a time.... 7. There are more five star characters then four star characters who have become too rare. It is now much harder to new players to get four stars then ever before. Some four stars have not been featured on a banner for 7 months. Essentially, now its pull for one copy of a five star and use that. The standard banner is very unreliable and I could see people taking years just to see their first C6 if they don't quit before then. This only effects new players though as old players have been collecting before the pool was this diluted and oversaturated. 8. Its honestly still a lot harder then it should be to save up to do 10 pulls. They appear to really only want people to play during events/updates for new stories as everything else rewards nothing once you are done. I had hoped the rewards would have been increased by now for daily commisions and other things, its been 3 years, why are they the same. 9. I see Artifacts are still just entirely RNG and just a timesink farm to finally get a good one. 10. There is 4 versions of the Lantern Rite Event and the only way to see the previous ones is to watch video's of them? You can't play through them or? I also see they nerfed the tower defence mode we had so hard that the first version I saw people liking it and the latest version of mechanicus everyone Hated it with a passion. Which is disappointing cause I liked that event originally. ect. ect. TLDR. They have made the game worse for new players. So far, my goal is to ignore the gacha system entirely, not give them a cent for the fact that we basically have had no QOL in 3 years get to the end of the story and then delete the game again and wait another 3 years.

Biimow reached out, and Kokomi Clan made a reaction. It's been watched on Twitch on three occasions, but idk by who

True. being a F2P ascending can make everything harder for players to the point that they get burnt down and it’s not like you stopped gaining exp once you hit the ceiling, all points you’ve gained while your AR is still locked will be returned to you after ascending. Yep, you heard that right. He’s suggesting to make Inazuma a paid DLC. Genshin might as well ditch gacha system and make the entire game a paid one.

@@carjac820 They completely lost me at the paid dlc bit tbh. Like who else would legitimately think that's a good idea?

He's suggesting hoyoverse sells story skips. People get the choice to play the game, reach certain AR level to unlock the next story quest or just pay money to get those unlocked immediately.

@@simplystarfall7891 Thats even worse tbh considering the story is most of the content. They may as well just not play the game at that point.

I guess you could just change your name and signature to something showing distaste

Honestly, Making the game playable on mobile is their biggest Achilles heel. A lot of compromises in the storytelling has been done in order to cater to the mobile audience. Some really good story quest has been less enjoyable to me mainly because a lot of compromise has been made like the lack of voicing and cinematic cutscenes and not to mention that these world quests uses a lot more area on the map than the Archon quests.

so you are saying they care abt the revenue and not the entirety of player base

@@praneelsuryavanshi4175 thats 1000% accurate

@@KarelTheKaiser thats sad, i think ppl shud stop playing the game because of that

@@praneelsuryavanshi4175 thats why there's a boycott going on. My aproach is to steal from them as much as possible since they said there would be no endgame.
