Why Genshin Impact Won't Last (from an addicted player) 

the main reason is people playing 24/7 rushing and crashing through content then demanding for more IMMEDIATELY, I play a LOT ALOT like 10+ hrs a day? but i still havent done a lot of content, hell my liyue is not even 100 exploration, its probably just a matter of understanding genshin is a casual game

@@era2s Yeah the the issue is the game wants you to rush. Most major events are locked to you having completed whatever the current story quest are, so when start as a new player the game basically forces you to burn through the story as quickly as possible or you won't be able to play the current of future events This is especially bad since like he said, major story events happen within these events

@@Lackofstyle they actually solved it by making the event have an early access option where you won't need to do a story quest but they also warned you about spoilers or the story not making sense if you haven't done the required story quest. Example is the perilous trail event where you meet Itto without unlocking inazuma first.

The reason is because a significant portion of new content every month is limited-time content that is increasingly being gated behind certain quests. So for players who aren't caught up with the story (either because they're new or because they just don't have that much free time), there's a big rush to complete all the story quests in time for the event.

@@DreamyAileen Pretty much every event since 2.0 has wanted you to have done enough of the Inazuma archon quest to get off Ritou, that's it. Any time there's a story quest involved the AR requirement has been dropped to ~AR28.

yes this! i started playing 2 months ago and saw a clip of the lantern rite event and thought it looked so cool. i couldn't wait to get to that part in the story... yeah my bubble got bursted when i found out it was a limited time event.

Oh yes! I ended up taking a break from Genshin a while ago and now I regret it cause I missed the lantern rite and the recent xiao event cause it was making me complete all this other quests and stuff. I saw so much stuff online about it and i was ushajdhsjzh 🥹

@@shavonnelynch6508 look at the bright side. The lantern rite is one of the few events that, while the story might change, will constantly repeat on a yearly basis. Next year Yelan and Inazuma characters will probably participate in it. I feel there are other events that hurt a little more to have missed.

not me panicking thought that Yanfei, Xiao, Yelan, Itto quest in the chasm is the time limited also, so I decided to watch some people played it. Then I realized, that quest can be permanent after the event. OH GOD. I already got spoiled. I am a new player also.

Yes. I didn't play genshin when it was released, so I didn't get to play the first ALbedo and Scaramouche event. I missed the lantern rite and didn't know how to play events before so I missed out on getting skins too, and it's so frustrating honestly

commissions are the bottom of the barrell trash tier content that you are forced to participate in to reach certain regions that are locked behind AR (which is just another time-gate content because you can only level so much in a day)

I purposely avoid commissions that take so much time like npc commissions and so far it has been fun for me. It doesn't feel like a chore that much and it's been fun. A game really does feel fun when youre not forced or pressured to play it

I feel like Sumeru commissions are actually the most fun ones out of all the regions! There's mushroom wacking, floating jellyfeesh thing, finding a cat, jumping on mushrooms and some I haven't come across yet but there's also those combat comms which aren't really an issue.

Nothing that has to be done daily over and over again can retain fun imho. It can start out that way but it WILL become annoying.

@@lostconciousness4255 I hate ascension quests so fucking badly. They give me headaches because half ways through I realize all my exp is way over count and I still need to level so I have to level characters and try to do the quest even if I’m severely limited/lacking. Do not even get me started on how boring they are-

They not force you to do it though, if you wont then just ignore your artifact being a trash

@@Zkr7 I'm at endgame so there isn't much to do but grind artifacts and do abyss, and when they keep putting mosters that just stall for time, it takes the whole reason I grinded artifacts away, it's just annoying

They have made it worse in just a single year, now enemies ONLY take dmg during certain phases and they are getting shorter and shorter. How the fuck they expect me to use my Eula Nuke if the boss only becomes targeteable for like 10 seconds wtf lmao

@@BeavisVolgthey dont want you to use her, they want you to pull for the new shiny character!!!!

@flonyan7742 and the shiny character needs to be leveled up 40 times to have the special attack, and the special attack has a 120 second cool down and only decreases the boss’s health by 1%!!!!

I think this will only be a problem with Inazuma. Early game, you could pull for someone like Ganyu or something. You could still farm for her as Liyue is readily accesible for you to explore. As far as we know, Inazuma is the only nation that is an island and blocked off. So, it is likely that other regions won’t have that problem

@@actualhooligan3423 True, but hopefully there won't be some invisible walls or Paimon stopping you from venturing out further. There are also some areas that are intentionally blocked in the continent like Chasm or Stormterror lair, hopefully the general area wouldn't be the same.

@@madensmith7014 well, this has being tried before. In the early game you can certainly get to liyue before you finished stormterror quest, so it won't be a problem. (though it may not be a good experience though, think of people actually went to liyue via dragonspine in the first hours of the game)

pretty much when i was starting and sayu had recently been added, i rolled her as one of my first 4 stars and couldn't even get ascension materials until late game so she was stuck level 40 while the rest of my team was probly lv 80, since i got to much inazuma later

@@actualhooligan3423 that would mean they have to make content for each region that can't relate to other regions in case you don't do them in the order they come out

Glad to hear, u can handle that "FOMO" Freemogems. I think its more healthy if u play when u want to play, not treat it like daily chores.

omg yes the fear of missing out on free primogem that is so real

Same. I've gotten into different things and stuff, and I also now only play when I actually feel like it haha. I used to play everyday, but now I just do so once or so every week (depending on what I've got going) and it feels less boring. Now using resin and dailies, etc don't feel as /much/ as a chore. I'm F2P also, and the only thing I'm looking forward to currently is getting heizou so I can have a different playstyle xD

just so you know, the word you want is 'obligated', not 'obliged' :)

@@billyfraiser6298 thx for.correcting

This is very true but then again what video game doesn’t feel like a chore over time, animal crossing for example once you get far in the game everything is basically a chore, that’s a lot of games, especially Gacha games. It’s the sad truth

​@@angelichobi__18 if it feels like a chore you might want to stop playing for a bit then, big diffence in your example, you can stop anytime in animal crossing and when you get back everything will still be there, meanwhile genshin is heavily reliant in you keeping up with the events, meaning youre forced to keep playing or endure the fomo

​@@angelichobi__18 Chess doesn't feel like a chore 😐

Even worse, she requires chasm materials on top of that. So I hope you like grinding out that story quest

Kuki probably has it the worst. Needs Inazuma materials, and the boss materials she needs are in the Chasm. So already you need 2 regions just to be able to level her up.

I more hate that they lock important character stories behind these quests. I skipped the last one with the oceanid because xiao was - again- fanserviced into it (the poetry liyue/mond event) and later people told me that we actually learn all kind of diona's past and meaningful context to her. and this is a super bad move

zdym its back now

honestly same. somewhere down the line genshin turned into a repetitive boring mess

@@tofire2261 agreed

Even newer world quests are just boring, go talk to this random npc, listen to him and paimon dump a novel worth of UNVOICED dialogue, go to another location, solve a dumb designed puzzle, defeat enemies, rinse and repeat. Which to be fair have been *somewhat* solved in 2.7 with the new archon quest featuring *zero* npcs, actually fun puzzles like the time travel gate and whatnot, and the fact that it isn't time gated.

the only thing keeping me goings is exploration of new areas cause thats genuinely fun

@@mylesobrien7477 its rly nice to see all the pretty new areas but they get bogged down by a thousand enemies that are the same mechanically and it gets so annoying. I just want to explore not to fight the 500th hillichurl

Yeah almost every gacha game give you the opportunity to play events for the story but you get none of the rewards, which is the right thing to do because active players have some exclusivity but everyone else can enjoy the story later. I wish Genshin would do that. Mobile players are like "wtf if they did that, the game would need 100GB of storage" but... bro... if you're playing Genshin on mobile, it means you have one of the best smartphone available, surely you can afford a SD card. You saw it coming, that is the price you'll have to pay if you want to push gaming on mobile to the limit

i think the huge problem is the memory space suppose if the gold apple events or the other domains return it would just be too much storage space, genshin needs room for another 4-5 nations ahead, they can't keep every thing

@@saidaholyjoy3771 Genshin just isn't very optimized from what I can tell. The game I mentioned that has the "Event Compendium" allows you to manually download older events and then uninstall them when you're finished, or they're automatically uninstalled with updates in order to optimize space. Genshin has no reason to keep every single thing when it can just uninstall assets no longer utilized such as older story chapters.

@@AmirPrinceling Exactly and Hoyoverse already is doing this with Tears Of Themis, downloading the old event and when you're done you can just delete it, same with the story chapters but not sure why they don't do it for Genshin but I guess too much assets and stuff-

Lostie?

I'm starting to have that problem with Yun Jin...

Eula was my first one so I didn't have this problem at all

why should mihoyo support those ppl rerolling accounts for two weeks just to start with "x" char ? its actually good as is so u have to be at least a lil bit invested ...

With every region it gets worse. Like I just started 3 weeks ago and when you pull Cyno, Tighnari and Candace who are all in Sumeru, when you just started in Mondstadt is frustrating. I did invest some time and I am in Inazuma now and for the sake of leveling tighnari I unlocked the archon statues in sumeru, but that's certainly not how it's supposed to be 😅

@@CanaAkuma can't you go to sumeru whenever you want ? I mean the only place that you can't go to easily is inazuma so characters from there are probably a pain to level up if you aren't caught up but other than that, currently you can level almost all the characters (weekly bosses from later regions will be a pain but mostly everything is accessible)

i really like this idea! but im crying abt the higher amount of storage genshin would take compared to now

thats a pretty good idea but i think one of the reason why there are time gated events is because of the usage of memory. with every new patch update they removed some of the old game data in exchange of some texts in archive for important events. even doing that genshin is almost 100gb in size in pc, around 20ish gb in mobile iirc. our devices are going to blow up by Khaerin'ah patch.

Yo that's genious!

I really like this idea and also I would suggest to have the free weapons they give in events as permanent too but only obtained if you finish a world quest or a reward for reaching certain level from those collectibles you offer like the occulus.

@@lenahuynh2519 there's a good solution for this- one I've heard that will be in 2.8. it's just automatic deletion of the finished story/archon/world quests once it's done. especially the voice files. download eveything, till a certain point where we have to download and delete stuff, and vice versa.

I kinda disagree with that last part? Spiral Abyss doesn't necessarily require min-maxing. You can clear floor 12 with subpar characters so long as you adjust your comp to each chamber, for example, I couldn't 3* chamber 2 until I used a scuffed version of National with Diluc (with very bad stats compared to my second, "minmaxed" and actually properly built team). The rest is all true though.

Yes and no. If permanent game modes have no long-term valuable rewards like gacha currency, character/weapon/artifact select, then there would be reason to replay them after few runs. If such game modes would give such rewards, then FOMO to complete them would be strong. Sure, old players who completed everything else would be fine and probably actually happy, but anyone not sitting at AR57+ probably not. Honkai Impact already have such issue with too many permanent and temporary events to catch up, especially when you're still haven't cleared story stages nor you're particularly well built with your characters.

@@Panocek the only reason it's like that in Genshin is because the only worthwhile resource in the game is gacha currency, most other rewards they give out is just junk weapons nobody will use anyway or artifacts you'll just use to level up your main ones. To make people want to play more there needs to be a separate currency too which you can build to say purchase specific artifacts you want or weapons you want, maybe even have a rare drop of primos. The closest thing right now is the realm currency but that is terrible. There needs to be seperate, interesting gamemodes (maybe even with ranking) to compete in and get currency from which then you can save (at a faster rate than primos) and use on items/artifacts ect...

@@Riku-Leela At the same time it needs to be added sparingly, otherwise you end up with clusterfuck Honkai is when it comes to 20+ currencies and shops and whatever multiple events are running in parallel, each having its own currency and shop as well.

it is endgame content. But I've gotten 34-36 stars in the last15 abyss atleast. Now I am AR60 with 15 characters at lvl 90, and 8 dps characters, multiple with crowns.

Let me tell you it's not Long time player friendly either. There's many things Hoyoverse could've done like moving limited characters to the standard banners or having banners be separated by region. But ofc they won't do that, it's Hoyoverse

@@otapic Yeah, I've heard Hoyoverse has an issue with listening to their players(to be fair, a lot of companies do, but that's not an excuse)

@@the_void_screamer777 they aren't useally lisen about thier country unless they're from China server

It's so confusing at the start. I was really lucky and had like 4-5 friends who have been playing since the game came out and would explain stuff and play co-op while talking so I could ask and they could show me things. It gets easier with time but there are still moments where you have a floating questionmark above your head

You can get characters to 40 by doing the trial and if they're not good enough at some point, just use different ones until they are.

@Sploofie Yes, lmao, I’m doing Kokomi’s at the moment. I’m talking specifically about content from event quests. For one, I was only rank 35 when I started the GAA (couldn’t get past the second ascension domain), so I didn’t have any of the 5* story quests unlocked, meaning Albedo still hadn’t been officially introduced to me. For two, the dialogue I commented on is seemingly referring to the last GAA event, which I could not do as I had no means to play Genshin at that time. It’s annoying that the game expects me to have either participated in the event, or have watched someone else play it instead of A. Not making dialogue that alludes to the player knowing characters from that event or B. Keeping limited quests permanent and removing the limited rewards once a certain amount of time has passed to keep that “limited edition” element.

@Sploofie No, it definitely wasn’t. They specifically said that he had been to those islands before, and referenced things that had happened there. And also, it really isn’t the same as that, since each season of Fortnite is pretty much an entire reset of the game, not just a quest (although I could be wrong as I’ve never played Fortnite, I’m just going from what I’ve heard my little brother talking about). It’s nothing like keeping a quest up but taking limited rewards from it.

@Sploofie 1. There’s already chronological issues, lol As I said, I had not officially met Albedo and yet Aether and Paimon were talking about him and calling him a “friend”. Now when I do Albedo’s story quest they’ll both act as if they’ve never met him before. The same thing happened with Itto and his story quest. I first met him during the music festival event, but once again Aether and Paimon were like, “That sounds like Itto,” and all that, clearly knowing him pretty well. But obviously they had no idea who he was when I started his story quest _after_ the event. This could already confuse someone, but that’s just how it is. No-one’s forcing you to do quests or events. And also, I’m pretty sure they have disclaimers to let you know when you start certain events that stuff might not make sense unless you do another quest first. I mean, I had to do like 4 different story quests before I could finish the last Archon quest. They could continue with that with event quests. 2. Why can’t they? It’s not like there’s some limit to how many quests you can put in a game. How many optional story quests are there? And there’s ones with like 10 different endings, as well. (Edit: There’s also an insane amount of world quests, and some of them hold A LOT of lore. The ones for Enkanomiya and Tsurumi Island being a couple of examples.) Again, it’s not like they would force people to do event quests, it would just be side stuff that players could do for Mora or materials or just because they’re bored or something. And what about mobile players? I’m a mobile player but I don’t expect the devs to cater to me lol. If they did they would never be able to update the game, as not everyone has enough space on their phones with the game as it is. That’s not to mention all the upcoming things. And even if they did want to worry so much about mobile players, they could make it a dlc thing, like with the different language audios and stuff. Then if you want to do the event quests, you can download it, but if you don’t have enough space, you have the option not to. I’m not asking for a miracle here, I honestly don’t know why you’re being so defensive. It was just something that peeved me, not a personal attack on you, the devs, or the game lmao

@Sploofie That is entirely different. For example, when I did Itto’s event, I was lost, obviously, but his story quest is a permanent fixture to the game. Like watching a later episode of a series and not understanding anything that’s going on, but being able to go back to earlier episodes and say, “Oh, what happens later makes sense now,” instead of never being able to watch the earlier episodes. There’s chronological issues, yes, but anybody can easily make sense of them when the past events are still available to them. It’s just not in the right order. Again, the information is at least always available in the story quest, rather than all that lore being lost in an event quest. HoYo literally did that exact thing with Perilous Trails II. Wasn’t it considered an event for that version of the game? It’s a permanent quest now. And again, I suggested that they have _limited rewards_ that _will_ be taken away once the event is over. That way no lore is lost, there’s still limited stuff, and everyone can be on the same page story-wise. And I don’t understand bringing OG players into this. Like, those events are in the past, and there’s going to be new events like every update. They wouldn’t lose anything-I’m confused about the thought process that they wouldn’t have anything special? It’s special that not everyone can participate in events? I’m sorry, I just don’t understand that point :/

@Sploofie If the rewards are the main point of events then I fail to see what problem would come with keeping the events up, just without the rewards. And I’m not talking about things that don’t have “personalities” such as seelie pets and skins. My main problem is with how much lore is lost, as I’ve said many times before. For example, the music festival didn’t have much lore. You just said hello to the Arataki gang, played songs, and then got rewards. Simple. For stuff like that it makes perfect sense to end it after a short period. But for quests like SAS, it doesn’t make sense to put so much lore into a time-gated event. I saw dozens of players who missed the event because they didn’t even know it was time-gated and had taken a break from the game. Believe me, _a lot_ of people complained about the very same thing and openly stated how annoyed they were that HoYo put so much story into something so temporary. Just look up a play through of the quest and look through the comments. Lots of people weren’t happy. What about the OG players in that case? The ones who took a break or had some other reason for not being able to participate? Such huge amounts of lore shouldn’t be exclusive like that. I wasn’t asking HoYo to preserve every single event, I was merely pointing out how inconvenient it is to miss a huge chunk of lore just because you weren’t (or couldn’t be, in my case, as I knew of Genshin and wanted to play but didn’t have the means to do so) playing the game when it took place.

The thing is, theoretically you can go to Liyue or Dragonspine or Sumeru without finishing Mondstadt archon quest. It is Inazuma that is closed off in the story that's why we can't go there. You can prefarm things in other regions because they won't be locked, I think. Until another region with closed border appears.

​@@fairytells5225 The problem is that there are difficulty spikes in every region which people might not be able to deal with. And also most people are casuals that can struggle with normal content already. Plus how would they know what to do and where to go without the story quest?

@@Juslin7989 I can't say anything about difficulty spike because the only weapons I lvl up to 90 are event ones, they are so easy to upgrade, and all my characters are lvl 80. I don't have many meta characters too - no Ganyu, Ayaka or Hu Tao. I am lazy like that. I thought that whatever happened with lvl 93 enemies in Inazuma kicking my lvl 70 Raiden hard was just lvl difference lol. I guess one can unga bunga any enemy in Mondstadt and Liyue without thinking (except for wooden shield mitachurls that are much easier with pyro in the team... And geo shield enemies that can be broken with claymore or geo characters... And teleporting shielded cicin mages... And invisible teleporting fatui agents that are much better frozen... And hiding in the soil whopperflowers and dendro slimes... And that small elemental flies that are so hard to aim at without a catalyst... And literally any enemy that has some weakness against some element or weapon that can be exploited, lol), but make people use a little bit of strategy and it is suddenly too hard I guess? A catalyst and off field support like Yanfei+Fishl is really good for spectres, for example, and overload that many players don't like for knocking enemies further away comes in handy with them. They are the same as elemental flies in Liyue, just tankier and with that explosion in the end. They literally scream "don't come closer, aim better, use reactions to amplify dmg", and that's with every other enemy in Inazuma too. Yes, many enemies can't be grouped with anemo. But that's OK. Some enemies ignore shield, some ignore crowd control, for some you need a certain element or weapon to work - it was always there and no one complained that they can't beat hydro slimes with Barbara or geo cube needed geo or claymore to beat it quickly. Are people that attached to one team that they are not willing to try any other? Any enemy has a weakness that some people just don't want to exploit I guess. And with Inazuma opened only at ar 45, if I am not mistaken, at least 4-8 different characters should be lvled up enough (to lvl 70 with 50:130 crits and 1500 atk, how many of my characters are built, for example) to take it on. Plus, starter regions in any game are a sandbox for noobs, of course it won't have anything too hard to help newer players understand the concept and basic things about the game so they could use things they learned later on. Liyue and Dragonspine introduced new, harder enemies and mechanics that were challenging at the time too, but I don't see people talking about Dragonspine's difficulty now. I don't think difficulty spike is that bad - it is still manageable even without fully built characters on the last world lvl if the player in question understands the basic strategy that was shown to him in the starter regions. About the second thing you said, exploration is literally the heart of the game? You just go wherever you see, it's not that hard... And opening new archon statues shows bosses on the map. You just go and explore I guess. That's the charm, stumbling upon some kind of overgrown flower and discovering that's the one you needed for a character upgrade. And there are so many guides and tutorials all over the internet and now in game too - from enemy placements in the adventure book to literal build guides on talent and artifacts pages. You just need.....to read it. Wow, crazy. Tldr; if one doesn't use the tools and tutorials literally given in the game, they shouldn't say that something is too hard. Use everything you are given ffs.

@@fairytells5225 The issue is "theoretically" Inazuma was the first real region added to the game, and while it had a story reason to be locked off, there's no proof that all future regions won't have the same, or just be locked off just because

@@Lackofstyle dragonspine and the surface of the chasm weren't quest locked. I know that these are not actual regions, but Enkanomiya was locked even inside Inazuma. I think that some regions, especially the ones like Sumeru or Fountaine, which have a border with Liyue or Mondstadt on land, won't be quest locked. We'll see, I guess.

As a player that basically is on Genshin, as a casual, since the 1.0, I can concur half the interesting stuff is under limited time events, and lost to the echoes of time (and gacha)

trust me im a new player and i dont care lol. im playing this game just because the characters are hot and because i want baizhu to become playable

that's how gacha games work. there's lots of games that i am playing right now when looking back on their past events thinking i wish that they'll rerun that. Namingly collab events (that is very very very limited) .

And I am a new player who do care, I'm not only into characters but interested in a character's interaction and story as well. And it's a shame I can't experienced that just because I start late.

I played but the gacha system. Killed it for me. Now everyone I know no longer plays this game. Time to move on to better things

I hate that in honkai

I find this issue painful because my fav character is literally the first character you meet in the game so with all these new ones coming out, I see him less and less 😥😥😥

@@SunsetDaFreezeris it Amber?

This is literally it. If people treated Genshin like a casual single-player rpg, they would enjoy it more. The community makes people feel inadequate for not having high constellations or high stats.

you literally dont need artifacts. most of mine are purple and theres no problem with the enemies at high world levels. though levels and talents are built up (something that doesnt require deep RNG)

This is a result of resources being intentionally limited (resin)

Exactly, some players don't even want you to play with them if you have certain characters or if you don't do 2736283 damage. My hu tao makes 12k per charged attack and it's enough damage to kill any mob out here and yet some players made fun of me because it's "very low" damage when to me it's just fine enough and very fun to play. Just cuz she isn't as op as other hu tao players doesn't make her bad, and it's a lot less boring than an OP one that kills any enemy in two seconds. It's the community that made this problem in genshin. Being so overly obsessed with meta numbers and all. As long as you have fun while killing the enemy, that it isn't TOO hard and that you don't die that easily, it's fine. You don't need to make hundreds of thousands damage.

When you’ve fully completed the game, there is literally nothing to do, so grinding insane artifacts and clearing abyss in record speeds is for most endgame players the only thing to keep them occupied in genshin whilst waiting for a new patch

Very true on this one, I saw a streamer kind of speedrun to inazuma, he got yae miko but it was very underleveled cuz he couldn't get the materials. It was painful seeing the only 5 star he has kept dying just because of ascension problems. I just wish they have like a traveling merchants that sell other regions specialties. Like at least new player can wait for it to refresh every week than speed run regions and got snapped back to reality when they arrived inazuma.

This happened to me with Thoma. I got him and immediately tried to max him out, but was stopped because I hadn't reached inazuma yet. I felt really rushed to finish the storyline, even though I actually enjoy experiencing the storyline. But I didn't fully listen or go through it because I felt I didn't have time to.

@@vvendyvvacku8113 Except, the 4 stars the game gives you are really good. Kaeya, Lisa, and Amber are fantastic. Xiangling and Barbara should still be free as well.

I literally happened to me with itto like, i have so many materials and 0 from inazuma..

Yh I'm a new player and I got Inazuma in one pull. He's cute, and I love his dialgue but I can't do anything but except take pictures with him.

I absolutely agree. Grinding levels from AR55 onwards just to get a single fate is pathetic, it should at least be 10 pull considering it's the standard banner. Artifact grinding is purely based on luck. Everything has started to feel like a chore, which really sucks to say cause I love this game. I think if 3.0 doesn't show a noticeable improvement in QoL the playerbase will decline rapidly. Considering I play for story and exploration, I might stick to that and just hold out till the end of Sumeru archon quest until I go on a break.

@@zhongli_simp_lmao7160 Nah, the problem is that the playerbase won't drop. Genshin will never fail, whales will keep spending. mihoyo will keep seeing they can get away from giving us nothing and keep doing that, all while dumping the money from the cash cow (genshin) into their love children Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai Star Rail and ZZZ.

@@charginginprogresss That's true. I'm hoping that the playerbase could get some sort of wake-up call and realise how little HYV really gives a damn about us, but that's unlikely and everyone has a different relationship to how they enjoy the game. I can't dictate how people spend their hard earned money ofc, but if people are genuinely unhappy with the current state of the game I like to hope that stopping spending would cause some sort of impact. Maybe if we get spat in the face for the anniversary again people might get it, assuming the state of the game will still be as it already is? (I mean, probably not but it was worth a try).

@@garakstailoringshop And your priority ISN'T beating them as fast as possible?

funnily enough, mobs that just floats or run away are my favourite, as i can just destroy them as a yoimiya main.

It becomes increasingly difficult to address the issues of the game while keeping the game storage size under control. The limited time quests were meant to be limited timed due to the fact that they themselves would occupy a lot of space as a whole. Addressing one issue leads to another issue and the cycle goes on and on. With how large the fan base has become for Genshin, i think it isnt humanly possible to address all of the issues that the players encounter BUT addressing the major issues need to be done NOW. As the video said, these would go out of control if not dealt with now. I also hope that Hoyoverse is trying to find some solutions for the same and they would get addressed ASAP.

@@danfascy211 There's a way. Once you finish a quest that "occupy a lot of space" you don't need to redo it anymore. It can just get deleted from the disk. And each "arc"/event can be downloaded separately, only when you wish to play it, and then get deleted once you're done with it. It's not really complicated.

@@lulullia A plausible idea, i also thought of it but cant say why Hoyoverse is not going for that because its quite easy to come across too. Lets just hope this optimization will come sooner or later!!

I think their main concern for limited event stories are storage, cuz ya know, mobile players and stuff. If storage wasn't a problem they would probably keep the event's stories in.

There are way too many unimportant prerequisite quests in this game. I’m okay with the archon quests, but world quests are so damn boring… I wish they made it optional. I really hate doing them so much.

Yes I'm that happiest since they added lost gold in a feature like that on ToT.. it would make so much sense for genshin...

I think keeping the limited events would be good but I guess if you play it later then you don’t get the special event rewards (like when you do specific things to obtain a character for free), that way it balances it out sort of

I feel like the cutscenes can just be googled or found in yt so they don’t give the “cutscene save” option

This is what I've been thinking they should do FOR MONTHS.

i also wish they can give the special rewards to but not the stuff u can already obtain(books shards and the talent books) I mean this is an open world game it should be more relaxing shouldn't it? It should be welcome to wait for us that aren't grinding everyday.

That be gacha character design unfortunately. Appealing to someone's taste for money is prioritized over just making a genuinely cool character.

@@1braker yeah, in contrast, Xenoblade 3 is going to launch and it also has a system where you get to know characters outside the main party and take them on your journey, but each one has a good backstory (told via a special quest) and actually good designs

tbh sumeru's story is actually really good again. I quit after inazuma because it was so badly written but thankfully they have improved with sumeru. I'm actually reading it all and not skipping, and the main story is pretty intricate. Also, paimon doesn't talk as much or repeat shit which is amazing

They will have to implement something to make the area available say after liyue as well id guess

Yeah, like those people going solo or something, imagine couldn't beat ar35 content with your lv40 character

Just get gud

maybe just DO all the other Archon Quests and quit whining?

@@user-ll6op6id1c the whole point of the comment was that when we eventually get all the regions, the gacha won't be very new-user friendly. someone who hasn't even done stormterror yet and has rolled an inazuma character, for example, is gonna have to wait for a *very* long time before they can do much w them :/

...that weird guy is a harbinger!?

@@happy-rj1kk 6th harbinger Scaramouche The ballader 11th harbinger AJax aka Tartaglia aka Childe The 3.x Story will definitely pick up on „the Stolen gnosis“

I LITERALLY MISSED THIS EVENT DUE TO SCHOOL ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME

@@mikkaMMD I had very important essays and exams to do 😭😭

@@strawberrykiwiii i feel that. I was only committed to the event bcs husbando tartagalicious lol

The limited time important content is also good for them from a business and player retention pov. Utilizing 'fear of missing out' to get players more hooked.

@@Utrilus It also has the opposite effect though, "Fear of having missed out". I have a good number of friends that tried that game but stopped playing when they realized they missed some event or another that they were interested in.

but you are not, as story events can be missed and only played if you are finished the story. A new player starting now will constantly experience references to things they never saw, due to the story and events being FOMO.

this is actually a rlly good idea. the only problem is tho, if they do this they might have trouble cranking out the places because they'll have to speed up for veteran players. this would mean having to either break the region into more bits which means larger maps and larger space but also it being really easy to forget about the old space, not like that's not already happening *cough* ekonomia *cough* and maybe even speeding up the story progression... which i wouldn't mind. from a new player's pov: this is gold. from a veteran player's pov: kill me now. and from a mobile player: there goes space.....*holy music plays and a single tear falls*

maybe there should be a region level that can scale with sigils, like the sacred sakura, but if you explore more and unlock more rewards the region gets harder

Exactly,in genshin,difficutly just means extremely massive hp bars and shitty mechanics,take those balloons for example,they have way too much hp for being a bumch of stuff that can mostly avoid melee hits,the game can't find the balance for good difficulty like interesting mechanics or needing practice,another prime example being the ruin serpent,the thing spends 10 hours underground and 10 seconds actually above it

@@randomperson093 this Genshin don't have any boss with mechanic that actually Made them harder to kill,they just add fuck ton of hp. Like in other games i play,the boss is not that hard but their Minion/mobs keeps distracting me and they deal quite big damage,or the boss have low hp but extremely aggresive and hit like a truck,forcing you to be defensive 90% of the time,i never meet boss like that in genshin.

@@ryoid6001 one of my least favorite mechanics in the game is that cheap one shotting move raiden has,it's really easy to avoid and after a while just becomes an annoying joke,another problem with these bosses is that they're designed to promote the character they were released with,take azhdaha for example,a look at him makes it obvious that he was specifically designed to promote zhongli,this fat frog deals dmg when a character is not protected by a shield even when you're far away from him by marking you in his second phase,and considering how broken shields and healing are against stuff,the "difficulty" is basically :"how much a boss can annoy you" instead of using effective tactics against it,another one of my least favorite bosses is the golden wolflord,suffering from the same problem as the ruin serpent,spending way too much time out of reach,by being airborne for days My favorite example of difficulty is orphan of kos from bloodborne,he doesn't have a massive health bar,but is extremely aggresive and fast,if you die,you weren't paying attention,if you win,you earned the victory,but of course we can't compare genshin and bloodborne in terms of difficulty but we can examine their mechanics,i hope future bosses aren't just mobs with a shit tone of hp,though from the looks of it,we will see a boss with 10 million hp when we reach snezhnaya

imo something like the upgrade system in SAO: Fatal Bullet would be great: 50% of the substats can be replaced with something else and the substats themselves get upgraded by sacrificing items with the same substats (which of course has diminishing returns)

@@mafumaru5899 that sounds awesome!

All I ask genuinely is to remove the base substats. I would actually cry if it was possible to never see “Atk +104” ever again. Fewer substat options and the elimination of the completely useless ones would make the grind so much better

@@AntiSoraXVI EXACTLY or even just a system like stigmata in honkai which I find amazing, its just permanent stats and you can reroll the substats to your liking

The way the artifacts drop needs some revision. I dropped 36 resin moons on Xiao's 2.6 dungeon and got one decent piece to the set, which I later replaced... The other 10 characters I've invested into haven't been much better, either. I got lucky on some of them fortunately, but the odds of getting the proper main stat, sub stats, and the correct set aren't good enough. We should also be able to choose which sub stat gets a boost upon the 4 level increments. It's bad enough to need to find the perfect artifact, but to have it boost the wrong sub stat all the way to 20 is infuriating.

Exacly. I started playing bc i loved the story, not the game. Even tough i actuallly started loving the game itself

This is basically me lmao. Especially the last paragraph.

I started playing Genshin because of the AMAZING story. Almost nine months later I have come to the conclusion that story is not, in any way, amazing. I had better story-telling and depth in a book I wrote in 3rd grade for my mom, "Goose goes to the park."

I relate to this comment in a whole 'nother level. I only focus on the lore and story, and if i already finish it all i just make my characters stronger. And if i get the characters i wanted, i'm gonna be a character collector. Sounds bad and all but i actually enjoy that. But then again, we're not some programmed robots to have the same opinion.

I wholeheartedly agree! I started in 1.0 and I’ve seen lots of other genshin players get bored of the game I make sure to take my time with each quest and mainly focus on farming and just enjoying the game at my own pace

They're trying to fix it I think, like the Limited event quest for this patch also became an archon quest interlude so you get the story of the event even if its done

Same here, was really annoying to see that I've missed out on story but I didn't really care about the weapons. I also want to say, if you're still 'low AR' don't just skip out on 4* artifacts because people have said 'only go for 5* artifacts' or you'll run into the problem that was adressed in this video. Getting your HP and ATK up is very important which alot of people don't take into account because they think you can just walz through inazuma with 3* artifacts that have horrible stats.

@@Fapsu_ i waltzed through inazuma with shitty barely leveled up 4 star artifacts until i met signora, luckily by that time, I alrdy reached ar45.

Yah luckily I only started a year after the release so I guess in the long run it's not that much, but those limited time events from the 1st year seem to be the best ones imo🧍‍♀️

@@toastbread2263 same here i started last December. From what i seen and experience. They need more worthwhile quest. The limited time quest need to be made permanent.

At least 7 years minimum lmao There are far inferior gacha games that are closing in on 10 YEARS lmao These 'eSsAyIsTs' have no idea what they're talking about most of the time since it's probably their first and ONLY exposure to gacha, let alone, a REALLY POPULAR GACHA

Yeah imo Genshin is basically the same as other gacha games too. Genshin is not a RPG or MMO games. The problem in Genshin is probably lack of end-game content. I read an "analyst" online and they said that judging by how much Mihoyo earned, It should probably lasts 10 years minimum.

Yeah, I feel like the majority of problem that being talked is gacha games problem rather thab only genshin. The idea that some 5 star is better than the othet 5 star is exactly what you'll get in a lot of gacha games.

shoutout to the English forum threads for another gacha game I still play that have asked "is this game dead?" when it's currently running past its 8th year now and is still updating regularly & maintaining its EN-language support even when its parent company released another smash hit game last year exclusively in Japan that eclipses its older titles both in fame and sheer revenue records despite how relatively super niche it is overseas lol;; Certainly some of these ideas brought up are not a problem exclusive to Genshin itself, a lot of these feel like "baby's first gacha/ live service game" because these folks are unfamiliar & uncomfortable with the norms of the genre (gacha game models, character release & balancing concepts, MMORPG patch update cycles, 'season'-based MOBA game releases, marketing/monetization tactics involved, etc). At the end of the day, regardless of how strong a consumer feels about a game, no matter how "good" or "bad" it gets, it really depends on the publisher/developer/ outside circumstances affecting these games that decide whether "it'll last" even if we can spectate or guess how it'll go given whatever clues we get from an outsider's perspective. Sure, there's some merit to these doomposts when they mention specific problems and offer solutions but at the same time....these guys don't really know enough about the finer details into all of these games, huh;;

the stories come out too slowly and end too quickly ;-;

I loved exploration when i played the game. I'd explore every nook and cranny and get excited when i find a quest somewhere because it expanded on the lore of the area. I even started using the camera function to take pictures of areas that i thought looked beautiful. It was interesting to see how each area connects with each other and how some things ended up the way they do. Some side quests and world puzzles even changes the environment ur in. There were also quests where u follow the adventures of other npcs. However, even doing all that, i eventually ran out of things to do.

@@Drossol I loved exploring too, when i started the game was magical and exploring was rewarding, but now the rewards dont matter that much and inazuma is very unpleasant to explore, it looks like the more you figure out how the game works, worse it is, because some gacha mechanics are just bad and made to adict you to the game and do everything just for gems, the artificial difficulty that just makes you do that endless grind, because even it being an action game the enemies are just anoying if youre underlevel, it not like action games that are just hard and you need some pacience to beat some bosses, here it just feels wrpng not to grind and build something op

@Fail Fort Yes, if you learn what to do in the game, and also youre not an crazy dude that has the need to get all the waifus, the the game starts to lose sense in some parts, i play since the start and i have a good team who breaks the game and kills everything, i do farm some gems, but havent rolled since the last xiao banner (paying inst viable for me because i live in Brasil and its too much money for just a few gems, the price of skins is a stab on the back) and dont feel the need for new characters, i will just save for when i find someone cool to play. The game has this deep casual level that really just rewards the time you put on grind (that is limited) and not much skill, i used to do everything in the game, now i realy think pf just doing the main quest and some character and world quests that got something interesting, the only thing i can ger exploring now is the good view, since this game is still pretty beatiful and i do like the campaign

@@franciscobierjunior9615 question, you think there should be enemies that can swim or aquatic enemies because I been asking this a lot to my pals and they have a mixed opinion

ive been playing for over a year and am ar57, i took a little break and missed the entire albedo event 😭

@@danafah9539 that's what i hate most. other games, even long-running ones that have limited events, don't make you feel like you missed out on a lot. in genshin, a few months gone and you've missed out on some important stuff.

Yeah events with important story are the biggest issue. I took a break due to burn out and will come back only after Sumeru and the next big land are released to not feel that I have to rush to be able to do events. I like to enjoy myself at my own pace but these event stories will make you miss alot of things and they shouldn't be put into events in the first place. Even if I wanted to I have no time to spend on Genshin on gaming in general right now.

suggestion, u can watch that event on yt right? no need to being a btch about it (if only u want to get the story and cutscene)

@@ciel6960 Feels like I didn't watch a whole movie while the game continues on with its connected story.

genshin still ON TOP

Dude i swear lmao

​@@lechungus1832On top of what

​@@evilmiyoho6742On top of me 😎

I don't know, seems pretty relevant now.

I would love a trade system but thats not possible for this type of game. It would increase the scaming and a huge amount of bots faming your items. Also it would open up a real money trading system that no company would want. Happend to so many games. Its just not possible. There are even games that had a trading or auction system that got later removed because of that.

@@depppata a "Grand Exchange" type of trade system would work while avoiding scams. That being said, it's a .00000000000001% chance they ever actually do anything like that sort.

@@depppata maybe if you had trading with the game, not other players (idk the correct way to describe it). something like the crafting system, where maybe you could give 3 of 1 thing, for 1 of another (e.g. 3 ameno hypostasis core for 1 ruin serpent thing), that way new players can still use characters from somewhere like inazuma (unlike me with thoma at ar 16🥲)

@@depppata they could just do something like a traveling salesman. Maybe one or two visit all the regions per week and they come from any of the countries you haven’t unlocked. Example, a salesman from Fontaine could be visiting Mondstat selling materials while a salesman from Sumeru is visiting Liyue. It could be at random, which still is annoying, but it’s better than not being able to get the materials you need early game at all

@@lilacamaris518 if they do do that, they should be stupidly expensive like the event gadgets being 100k(?) mora each

Truth. I keep seeing clips and snippets of the Unreconciled Stars event and the first one with Albedo and Sucrose, and it's honestly super disappointing that I never got to experience it for myself. I just really wish I could've gotten that line from Scaramouche, "heh, barely two words in and you already look like you want me dead"

This isn’t really a gimmick tho. All gacha games have limited time events that are meant to keep you playing and reward you for doing so. genshin is no different.

Ok nvm I didn’t make it that far in the video when I wrote that that’s kinda bs actual story was locked behind events

I agree tbh honest I missed out on a lot of the seelies events and the missed out on some good events with giving you a free four star (fischl) while seeing scara and the susbedo event as well as the windblume event. I hate limited time events cause of missing out on content.

"It’s just not new player friendly". That's really the bottom line here. People have to remember that this is a gacha game. I think Genshin gets more flak than other gacha games, because it's A LOT of people's first gacha game (including myself). This is a F2P game. The game devs/creators/company has to try their best at balancing making a fun game, but also keeping players spending money. Mihoyo must be doing something right, because they are making a shit load more money than other video games. I think everything is great in Genshin Impact (except 2 things (which i'll get to)), when it comes to the business model it has set up. Basically my two gripes are: 1. There is no end-game. They need to implement some sort of infinite dungeon....even if they don't give out rewards (after the first attempt). 2. Like you said.... it's not new players friendly. This doesn't really affect me, since I've been playing since day 1, and I keep up with everything in the game. But still...I understand how the game can suck for new players. I'm 100% F2P (100%. I haven't spent a penny on the game. No battle pass or anything), and I love the game.

honestly facts tho, the limited time story events are just such a big big problem cus just like you said, they always have some huge lore bombs and big hints at the main lore or characters backstory and new players will honestly have absolutely no idea what albedos twin is, mona dropping hints about scara, etc. they're guna miss out on half the fun we have had

Let's face it, Genshin is supported by Whales, all the events are meant to keep the whales around. Casual players and new players are just bonus. Now 1 BS that I wish they would stop is having me wish a character that I have C6 already. that is just pure nuisance, imagining eventually C6 a 5 star character, but still getting duplicates after that. nightmare stuffs

@@xygdra I'd argue new characters are for the whales whereas the events are more for everyone. Not every player is gonna have the chance to get either but every player is going to be able to experience an event should they choose to play during it. I personally didnt get to experience the first scara event and tbh i wish i couldve so i could have gotten the altered line in the inazuma story. Reruning story events would hugely increase their player retention so that way players could go experience older events and learn parts of the story for themselves.

or just make limited time events similar to character or hangout events. I have a felling this is the direction they are going though.

@@xygdra well whales only care about moneying through everything. So I would say the events are for f2p, but the characters and unusually overpowered 5star weapons are for whales. Either way, the managers in Genshin got all their priorities wrong, and it wont be long before they'll burn to death. RIght now, they only survive because they have the ability to lure tons of new players and advertisement. However, if they mistake this for success, they'll be finished soon.

I literally mostly play for the lore and got hooked because the lore. Devs: Oh you missed one month of Genshin? Go watch 5 RU-vid play throughs if you wanna know the lore

@@RoseMultiverse exactly!!

You don't really NEED perfect godly artifacts with every stat and substat how you want it and mid 200's artifact crit value. People have 36 starred spiral abyss with way less than whale investment since pretty early into the game's lifespan. Artifact farming for ridiculously high numbers is just something that happens to us because we have nothing else to spend resin on at endgame.

@@LibraritheWizardOfficial thats not true at all. When you spend over a 1000 resin for a heart of depth crit circlet, i can assure you thats not trying to get perfect godly artifacts

@@t.w.l3691 I'm AR60, I've spent a lot more than 1000 resin on numerous sets. I have never outright _needed_ anything beyond what I consider copium artifacts at this stage. I only keep farming because there's nothing else to do with resin except try to build more artifacts to match my A-Team in an ever escalating arms race to see who can get the fastest sub 30 domain clears. Hell, I had Jean with trash artifacts for over a year and still mained her just because she was still good enough to clear WL8 content with ease.

You don't need insane artifacts. What you need are insanely challenging content where you can use your built characters aside from spiral abyss and monthly events. Spiral abyss only resets once every 2 weeks, which is a long wait, only for you to finish all the floors in one sitting. Even artifact domains aren't challenging anymore. I wish we could get level 100 enemies in domains, an abyss-like difficulty but with better rewards.

That's why I think hoyo should add a reward for new permanent content like some kind of item that can increase your 1 sub stat for 1 time. In this way you still need to farm domains to get your perfect 4 sub stats, but without stressing out about stat rolls. Ascension mats problem can be easily solved by adding a new vendor in Mond that can exchange a special currency that you're getting from quests. Said vendor could sell any material from any region, similarly to FGO.

Really? They are constantly giving us surveys, and many of the things I have brought up on them have been fixed in future patches. They are constantly changing the game to match our expectations, while ignoring the dumb requests.

@@doomsdayng it's probably just me thinking bad about surveys now that I think about it. I am overthinking it most likely, so please disregard it. But I think Mihoyo/Hoyoverse still has an issue with communication with the community outside of their homeland (China).

@@doomsdayng they only listen when it comes to bugs, other then that any other types of feedback they get they throw onto the ground, crush and then burn it

@@doomsdayng They don't read what you write on suggestions / surveys. They literally only pay attention to bug reports and those "enjoyment level" ones after an event ends so they know what type of events the playerbase likes or dislikes based on the percentages. But that's as far as they go.

The thing is about regional wishes is that it wouldn’t be any different from normal intertwined fate wishes since they will still be made from primogems but the idea of having wish banners of multiple regions to wish from is a good idea

hey that's me, and the silent Majority of Genshin Player

No shit. If I don't have fun why would I play at all?

Literally you having fun IS ALL THAT MATTERS. :/

I never even thought about that before… It honestly pains me that hoyoverse only really listens to players when it’s basically the whole community complaining. The 1st anniversary for example, took them awhile to comply with the players until everyone was freaking out and review bombing them and stuff

@@Sagittorius because with every 1 person complaining, there will be 2 people willing to defend the game like their life depends on it. 1st anniversary isn't even the first incident, remember launch Zhongli? He had legit flaws, shitty numbers, even Noelle is better support wise and people are willing to defend a 5* ARCHON that can cost upwards to hundreds of dollars to get if you're unlucky. And this is coming from someone who saved up primos to pull for him day 1. It only took the majority of China to complain for them buff him. People thinking this game is beyond criticism are making the game worse that people complaining about the game imo.

my idea for that is to put a npc that exchange boss materials with other boss materials like 2 electro hypostasis material can be exchange for 1 bathsymal vishap material, i wish they will add this kind of feature

Exactly what I'm thinking! When Inazuma was finally released, I was literally terrified of going there. The enemies were too strong, Serai Island was a nightmare and also the domains there… my high level online friends basically had to carry me through Inazuma's domains and weekly bosses, otherwise I would've most likely lost my motivation to continue playing.

that was my experience too when i used to play. it was extremely annoying as i started getting used to having raiden on my team

This^^

I want harder enemy

sorting by name should be everywhere: enemies, inventory, craft table, food, teapot

A better filter would be something like "Hillichurls", "Fatui", "Cubes", "Slimes" etc. Or maybe something related to the Region.

isnt it in the archieve tho?

Focus on 4 characters first, pick them wisely, spam their dungeons, kill proper bosses, level unnecessary characters just to 40, to get items from their ascensions. Then get another 4 characters, 2 healers especially, for the Spiral Abyss. Spam Spiral Abyss, until reset, then repeat. Maybe follow some guide, because some characters isn't worth leveling. Like Amber. You will have to run numerous instances, almost endlessly, to get them to the point when Inezuma become easy to you. Get an actual healer (any healing characters makes an actual difference and even a vanilla Barbara can save your ass). Any really. Especially Kokomi would make your game way easier, even without constellations. Even Qiqi. Follow the videos showing you where all the treasure chests is hidden on each map. I don't really remember much from this game, since I've quit it long time ago, but I am sure with enough dedication and determination, especially if it comes to events and maxing each maps, (and obvious grind I've mentioned above) you will get where you want. Also do not ignore housing. You can get a nice amount of upgrades if you focus on your pot as well. Also try getting a set of artifacts, with specific stats. If it's possible get a proper stats for your team. Check online what stats is good for each character. There is a whole tier list of characters, starting from the most useful, towards the most useless, and each character should be equipped with a proper set of artifacts. I'd recommend zilliongamer.com/ and game8.co/ - Dont go blindly and randomly. Make a plan. Research. You got this.

@@guardiananger1641 very nice of you, appreciate the advice. So you mean just ignore the story until I get leveled up enough to be able to beat it proficiently (I.e. inazuma). That seems like the best course of action, at least I’ll get more done than I was and actually have something to show for it. It is unfortunate I won’t get to see sumeru though, it’s part of the reason I started the game just now. Either way I’m grateful for the supportive comment! Sounds like you’re already ar60, lvl 90 main team.

I know I'm a year late, which means that you either have already fixed these problems or quitted Genshin, but honestly if you're only going in Genshin for the story, the enemies INSIDE the story wouldn't compare to the ones in the world, and we don't even need to mention the Abyss.@@xtcaudio And one other thing that this video failed to mention is the fact that players can easily get help from other players if necessary. Domains for example, newer players can co-op and get help from older players to have an easier time to get through them.

Seriously... I feel bad for people who missed Albedo's Impostor Event, because the nature of his birth and connection to Rhinedottir is truly significant lore.

its a gotcha game events come back its how these games work

@@SUPERNOOB20 Super Mega Ultra F*** that, it's a game and I want to experiencie it as such.

~10 GBs of seen pre-rendered CGIs just getting on my nerves. Also inability to choose 1st voiceover from launcher. (You had to download ENG for the 1st download and only then manually choose JPN from the game's options...)

Yeah say that to mobile player them gonna riot

Spoken like a true pc player 😅

This is the best idea, for all players really (even mobile), and what kind of makes this worse is that Hoyo ALREADY does this with one of their other games, Honkai Impact 3rd. So not only are they totally capable of doing it with Genshin, they are with another game, which makes it all the more frustrating. I started playing the beginning of this year, so I obviously missed everything before then. I hate that I missed out on the first intro to Scaramouche, Albedo's quests, the Golden Apple arc. It's fine to have missed the mini game events, but locking important story content in time limited events is dumb. Even if one doesn't get the rewards, the ability for a new player to experience the events for themselves in some way should still be there.

@@WinndyCakes But how that the problem?... Every single content would take space and pc player would not have a problem with this but how about mobile players?... Them will not like it and riot over it

What? I genuinely feel the complete opposite with the newer events Since you must mean gaa(golden islands ) The only thing that they do is slightly talk about the last time with klees mother, but they expanded it by giving much more information about her rather than a voice mail like before But the whole kazuha part is literally a complete recap of the one in the iridori festival 2 updates ago, without even the resolve of what actually happened They treated the story like we never went through it and it angers me to have to go through it all again

@@sxlproductions Then, wouldn't that make Genshin have a general problem with the storytelling? The examples both gave are kinda a proof of it.

the event thing also slightly bothers me, its happened a few times to me where characters I've never met before greet me like were buddies. I know the traveler has basically befriended the entirety pf teyvat at this point but it's still strange to meet someone new and have them tell they missed you

@@velynnec yes that's kind of a weird part lol, speciallt the fischl part of the GAA at mondts plaza. I havrnt even met fischl since i joined 2.2 and everyonr acts all buddy buddy which is understandable but weird for new players perspective.

Woah!! Careful there, this statement is the same thing Tectone as has said and the *beE gRaTeFul 4 dA fREe gAmE* community were shitting on him.

damn, you forgot my huge issues of artifact farming is rng drop stats and substats, even worse is the leveling up substats is FUCKING RNG as well,

theres also resource farming talent too, i thought ill be fine with this, but the searching and collecting all resource with some stupid blockwall, absurd climbing and you have to wait 2-3 days to get refresh, spamming domains also wait for certain day to get the artifact you want, le weekly boss for that one material with rng drops, repeating endless cycle will eventually led you burnout with the game, and then starts with this feeling "i dont feel like playing the game now" lol

@@Azal827 I think they were including talent farming as a resource (there's so many and each is used by multiple characters so it may as well be) but yeah you're right, the combination of all these issues can cause burnout despite being a relatively young game. I've been play since day one (preregistered since I liked honkai) and I hardly log onto the game nowadays. I didn't get to finish 1.1 event and when they didn't rerun it I realized how flawed the game is. It doesn't even have a log in reward system ffs.

@@SuperTyrannt oh welp, gladfully theres a genshin archive channel on youtube so we can look up back to previous limited time event that we miss, also the login reward are all from hoyolab, but the login rewards are kinda meh

YES 100% THIS, the combat gameplay is just too basic, theres no combos! or air attacks, I want something like Kingdom Hearts 3, or like Breath of the wild where you can fire arrows mid air, that would make bow users more fun, I used to think Genshin is like this cause it's a mobile game but clearly that's not true cause hoyo's other game Honkai Impact has all that sick stuff, so why doesn't Genshin??

@@webbedshadow2601 fr, like can't they do a lil copying from honkai

@@thatoneneeko2131 dude gacha main focus is open world not combo or skill play some MMO like tof should be released on August 11

@@veraoliva972 no... this is about one of the only gacha's that is a true open world. if anything this game is closer to mmorpg or even hack and slash. Is there anything lost by making moves airborne targets?

@@thatoneneeko2131 I'm just saying genshin main focus is open world not combo

honestly, I have been playing since raiden rerun in 2.5, and I haven't really had any problems with the scaling in inazuma. Maybe its cuz I payed attention to my weapons and artifacts as soon as I noticed the difficulty spike, and actually levelled my 4 star artifacts and levelled my weapons. I didnt need to lower my world level, and I didnt have any 5 star characters at the time (though I will admit I was using bennet + xiangling due to recommendations from my friends).

@@dragz3868 I’m pretty sure they had a recent update that nerfed the inazuma enemies. Before that update, the inazuma enemies were very tanky and hard to defeat.

@@dragz3868 actually I’m not really sure, it might’ve been how you built your characters

@@arisu925 ah, then that could explain it

Inazuma enemies are undeniably tankier. I like not having everything die in a couple of hits, but I'm sure it would have been painful when I was still AR45 (fully ascended WL) and trying to work my way through all those fragile resin I stockpiled while mostly ignoring early game artifacts. Everything, everywhere, felt pretty darn tanky for a while. Luckily, I had friends who started at launch and rushed the game come carry me in tougher (dps checked) battles, like Andrius.

To fix this issue in the next map is to have locked all character in that region until you unlock the that map region

@@7rimurug508 but then mihoyo don't make as much money and also players don't want to miss out on the rate up banner

@@andywang7652 I think the most likely thing is that since Sumeru is in the same landmass you can just walk there. Escalating Inazuma's issues would be bad for new player retention and hurt their bottom line and if they love one thing it's money.

@@xX-fd2qj the easiest fix is to let players buy these materials from wandering traders or something like from Minecraft and terraria.

Or add material exchange in the Alchemy

I started playing genshin 2 months before inazuma, and in comparison with childe boss fight the shogun and signora fight were pretty impossible for me. I was using barbara on field most of the time and still had to use food. I think that no matter how horrible i am in the game, it shouldn't be that hard and world level exists exactly to prevent that.

@@astra8372 I have no idea what to say. Tbh, I find Signora's and Raiden's fights super hard, I mostly avoid them. I feel like they we're created specifically for 5 star broken characters. But there still is the option to co-op, which can at least guarantee 1 five star in the team, if you agree with me. And still with co-op, you hardly find decent ppl that don't judge you for what you pick or how much damage you deal

Yeah, while it is very sad to me that Hoyoverse seems contended with how the game flow right now, what most players don't realize is that Genshin is a very casual game and they intended it that way since the very beginning.. and i think they listen to the players, and i mean the casual side which is the majority of the player base.. So, i doubt that Genshin won't last, unless something happened (like another pandemic or ww3).. It's just that it won't grow into a game with its full potential that i ever hope for..

@@glyphgraph8436 imo, if they want it to be casual game then let the players lower the world level before level 5

@Purple Crystal how are you not able to beat Childe

There is alot of us who give 0 fucks about the story and just wants the bothersome stuff over it

they're using characters that werent there in the first GAA event so to newer players they will be experiencing the islands for the first time like the characters and the older players will just go along with it since while they themselves know what happens, the characters in the story dont

They can make it such that for certain timed events that are sequels, newer players can choose to unlock and play the prequel event only during the event period. But i dont think this will work well for events like lantern rite tho

@@Mongoliantiger so? you can just NOT replay the cutscenes

For that we can use youtube

Lol yep, the gist of this whole video: “Look at me, I’m the developer now.” Basically what this guy is asking is that the whole game needs a complete overhaul of all the core systems without thinking about how many years that could take the designers to implement into the game

@@w0wzerzXDD Still a good point though . He didn't even put something mind blowing anyway. It just that Genshin really shot itself in the foot since launch , ofc that's gonna be a big problem for them to work with

@@pauloazuela8488 the point I’m trying to make is that the author of this video wants a game that the developers never even intended to happen, and the fact that they’re still continuing on with this business model proves that this is the path that they want genshin impact to head towards. Even though we might not agree with this design choice, at the end of the day, this is how they envisioned the game and a lot of people outside of us still enjoy the game enough to play it. By changing up the entire formula they’re simply going to isolate and divide people even more than what we are currently witnessing now.

@@w0wzerzXDD Fair point , but let's just see upcoming games that are open world and let's see how they operate . Take note this is a billion dollar revenue game, if the only reason it's getting that much because of availability and waifus and husbandos then chances are they wouldn't try to improve it that much. I tend to be critical to gacha games because I spend moderately and I played lots of them . I still also play paid games as well.

@@pauloazuela8488 The thing is, even with the upcoming open world games that will include a lot more stuff such as raids, better grinding experiences, and properly scaled monsters, we are just comparing apples and oranges. Reason being, genshin is made to be a casual game while those aspects listed above are more geared towards players that want to keep on pushing/min maxing their characters. For example, the fact that the endgame doesn't go past doing spiral abyss, the developers don't encourage co-op playing outside of event minigames (I wouldn't even count domains because they're easy as hell), we are resin gated so people aren't really encouraged to be spamming domains outside of spending money, and the story/cut scenes are the bigger parts of the game rather than the gameplay loop. Also, the fact that they are making billion dollar revenues means they're not going to change anytime soon because the profits just proves to the shareholders/developers that they formula works, so in their eyes, why would they change it anytime soon?Although this may be hard to hear and I'm sorry for that, at the end of the day, the fact that the game won't be anything beyond this is just a hard truth that players like us need to accept so we can move on. TL:DR; this game is just not really meant to be anything outside of a single player, casual game that is driven by the story and what the author of this video is literally asking for is an entirely different game.

i agree with you but how have you never met mona when she has a story quest? unless you’re a lower lvl and haven’t unlocked it that is

@@alextodorova497 They mean the Unreconciled Stars event of patch 1.1 . The event where we met Mona, Fischl, Scara and it was one of the best event, according to the old players.

@@rtg9733 yea i know but you can still meet mona in her story quest so you do meet her without unrecoiled stars

@@alextodorova497 Yeah, i have done her story quest too. But doing the limited timed events, the interactions are kinda much better. How meeting Tsumi and Chad Endou in the Enkanomia event was amazing and the Iradori festival had interactions like Klee meeting Yoimiya and Kazuha basically reuniting with his friends in Inazuma.

i started playing in late october 2021 too so i completely feel you. the albedo event went over my head and it took me weeks if not months before i could understand it all.

bro you need strong characters to farm, but you're farming to get strong characters this don't make sense to me. why farming to be strong is hard in the first place???????? you're supposed to already be strong to become strong?????????????

If you enjoy the game ok,but if you don't, do not force yourself. I dropped Genshin and I have a bit of curiosity about it from time to time, but I won't play it again simply because 90% of the worldwide population plays it, and it's really talked a lot online.

@@darialomurno05 i play it sometimes, i enjoy it, but i can't farm cuz i find it boring. so i play history when there is one, and just stay months without playing

@@Malam_NightYoru for me, I dropped Genshin permanently. If I want to enjoy a game, I want to enjoy it completely, from farming to story to gameplay. So if I do not like any of these things, I quit. The story is 90% filler so yeah, I don't want to play Genshin "just for the story". Also, how do you not farm in Genshin? Aren't you like obliged to? Genshin adds with each new update stronger enemies, so how you beat them?

@@darialomurno05 i stopped playing genshin for a bit aswell might play a lot when sumeru is out and see how that goes

Why.. did you get 3 separate 5* dps character, who are not synergystic at all with each other? You litteraly spread your resources between at least 3 teams, instead of narrowing them on one. Btw there are always more side-quests than main story, that is literally the point of sides

@@Uefeti who said I use all 3 together though? 💀

@@Uefeti the fact that you even came to that conclusion without even asking my teams comps is funny to me.

I hear you, i hear you. I'm still looking for decent Crimson Witch artifact for my Hu Tao. Aand i'm also planning to roll on Yoimiya's banner so yeay, more backlog. Crimson Witch, more like Crimson B*tch lmao fk that domain in particular

I've been farming blizzard strayer for ayaka from january till june every single day (no resin refills) and I only have 2 decent artifacts. I'm close to reaching AR58 and my only characters with good artifacts are ganyu and yae miko. From june till today I've been farming EOSF daily for Yelan and Ei and still don't have a single really good artifact. Like yeah I still 36* abyss every time but sometimes just barely. Ayaka, Eula, Yelan, Ei, Xingqiu, Xiangling are all sitting with mediocre artifacts after playing for well over a year. Good thing there are characters like zhongli, bennett and sucrose who don't really need good artifacts, because I wouldn't even be able to pass abyss 12 without them

I hate the Sumeru update they barely even made a dark-skinned character which is disappointing due the sumeru being inspired by a place where dark-skinned people exist

@@zane6304 that’s true I wish they would add more darker skinned characters but I think it’s because they are only releasing the rainforest area of the region and people who would live in that region tend to have lighter skin tones than the ones that would live in the desert region, I do hope that they will give us more darker skinned characters but they aren’t really obligated to do so it would be awesome if they did

​@@zane6304 there was a dark skin character though ,and I felt like it was more based on arabic regions, there in the fertail regions more people r whiter than u can imagine, the desert region has dark skies people, so they might come later on and hoyoverse didn't release anything official so let's not jump to conclusions

Zane fr. AND HAVE U SEEN THE ARCHON? Sumeru Charas are so disappointing in that aspect, their skin tones don’t match their region, and ik it’s their game and the Can do whatever they want, but, as of today, we only have like 2 tan-skinned charas, and idk, I think it’s kinda boring seeing everyone looking the same

@@zane6304 the thing is most people already though either Sumeru or Nathan should be the Nastion where many dark time Character whould be. I also though Sumeru have many dark time Character but there was t little info back then now understand it a rainforest i started think Nathan should be it die fact it is the Pyro Nastion and probely a sand place or something but i angree i do wish to see more Times Character

For the most easy reason,phones have limited storage.Should they keep the limited events, they won’t be able to provide enough new content.This applies also to why world quests have no va.All in all,storage limitation.If it’s PC only like wow,could be much easier.

Do you mean Barabara? I thought Xiangling was an abyss reward.

I think it's a really good idea but, events = more space = bad news for mobile players I think if they want to apply this idea, they gotta figure out how people can download and delete an event at will. And not to mention, they gotta put in EVERY single event from 1.1

LoL it's literally skill issue, perfect example

also the anti shield wolves that also harms the rest of your party

Its game design to boost other character like Yoimiya and yae who domt give F about range and gives disadvantage to melee characters. I think its not bad as it balances and give every character opportunity to shine. If one completes the whole game with just national then theres no point in new characters

@@ashy5808 But with Yae and Yoimiya especially, they are built for deep wallet players. And usually most enemies that do that still run away from bursts, even if the burst is ranged.

@@neykoucing Yeah those wolves are just poor design. You used barrier, so not only is it enough to punish you for using barrier by making the enemies enraged, but your entire team must die too. Perfectly balanced and good design. Smh

@@RemedieX These wolves are actually good for the game. If there are no enemy that's strong against shields, then people who got Zhonli will be able to tank all enemies in all regions, and people will just ignore healers forever, cause why bother with healing when the enemies don't even damage me in the first place? And even if their damage ignores shields, it's really weak, to the point where my level 60 Diona's healing can keep my characters alive, and if you have stronger healers like Jean or Barbara, then they are just some annoying flying trash.

this happened to me with sayu too 😭 they need to add something like marjorie's shop but for local specialties, so that we don't have to wait potentially months to use new characters .. although this could be an inazuma issue only since the rest of the regions are supposed to be on the mainland, and hypothetically we should be able to just walk right in

@@xxri I’m not sure, bc if you try go into Liyue before you’re allowed (aka still playing through Mondstadt’s story) it boots you away

It's entirely possible for someone to get to Inazuma well before they need characters over lvl50 since the AR requirement is pretty low, and you don't need boss mats until the lvl40 ascension. You'll be able to waltz into Sumeru and the rest of the mainland at AR1, so unless you roll for a limited character from Inazuma or they start adding them to the standard banner, what's the problem?

@@BlackGateofMordor it's hypothetical tho, at ar 1 you can't leave the starfell lake area so ..

That happened to me too, I got Itto on his first banner at like 30 pity when I’d only started the game a couple of days prior, and he could only stay at level 40 until I got to Inazuma and so I couldn’t play him for a long time. And ofc when I first played the stupid wolf boss I just cut my losses and didn’t level him until recently cause I hate that boss with a passion.

So you stop playing it?

I thought I liked the game, but then realized that the only thing keeping me playing were the world quests where you had to solve fun puzzles and what not. now i just do my dailies and log off :,)

Just stop playing, literally the best thing you can do for a game is let your brain rest a small bit and do something else.

@@LeviAckerman-zh7bf anyone would stop playing if they felt that it's not fun anymore

this game has the least aggressive MTX in the mobile gaming business though. theres no cancer popups every 10 seconds. you can only buy genesis xtals/primos which get you characters but it doesnt really get u anything other than that really. i guess u get more books/mora but being f2p u can easily max out a character each time they release if u get them from saved resources. i never understood why people rip on genshin so hard for its MTX/p2w shit when its literally the least p2w gacha ive ever played. i havent spent a dime, have all the chars i want, 36 star abyss. every other mobile game ive played, if u dont spend money u will almost always feel like a weak piece of shit and way behind everyone.

"as a player who already quit" Same here, even thou I loved Genshin. Try Tower of Fantasy. It will launch in 2 days. You can pre-register now. Cheers.

Same. While I did create my account from 1.0, I was too busy with irl stuff (final college thesis and I did passed it) so I hadn't really played the game that much until second half of 1.2 and I missed the Scaramouche and Albedo event. I'd choose my studies first over playing genshin of course, but it stings that you're not able to play those time limited story events, at least the important ones. I can live missing out Lantern Rite event story but not the ones alike that I mentioned before.

Specially because those dots will connect themselves anyways in future updates.

genshin's story is weird... i'd say the general plot is subpar garbage. paimon's interventions are annoying, npc dialogue feels very exaggerated and unnatural, it just feels like a bad generic anime. but the lore is so damn good. i feel like i am discovering souls lore all over again. idk how to feel about it lol

That Dvalin fight was extra for no reason lmao The flight part wasn't even good it'a just something you do for like 2 mins.

I mean I like the story quests but that's subjective so I suppose that makes sense.

Nowadays, I just skip the story; I just play the game for the exploration part. If I want a good story, I'd rather just read a novel.

HOW DARE YOU SAY SOMETHING so accurate-
