    The whole problem is that there's an unseen intangible villain that jumps from mind to mind. Despite all you've done, you're not directly in the fight yet, so you're kept in the dark because knowing the enemy makes you vulnerable to them. That's why Razor is kept completely in the dark about the whole thing with the wolves, and why you're forced to just accept the thing about the vishaps.

          Honkai keeps resetting shit because it hates gays. There is a reason homosexuality is extinct in APHO, it's how they seal it. They sealed the gay on the moon and kiana in a breeding pod.

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      Only single digit IQ brainlets ever thought that. It was pretty clear if not from the onset then shortly in that Genshin devs decided to significantly distance themselves from Honkai. The game may have been intended as a spinoff, but it's just more financially reasonable to expand when you're not doing direct sequels. It's why even Star Rail has almost nothing to do with Honkai 3rd. But even still considering all the incredibly obvious gnostic myth influences in the plot that existed literally from the start the plot was going to be more complex than just oh we gotta keep the everyman in the slums or Herrschers start to spawn, and of course it's even sillier in hindsight after 3rd took a swerve at the corner of crazy and bananas.

      In any case I'm glad to see that at least in major parts they have a plan for the storyline they're willing to stick to which is usually very hard for long-running service games to do, and the testament to that is how what seemed to be disjointed elements early on slowly come together as parts of a single whole. You may not like it but that's what peak performance looks like.

          Honkai 2 was connected to Honkai 3 until it wasn't anymore. Same with Star Rail.
          It's not about being "2mainstream4deeplore", this shit is just a marketing strategy to make old players to talk about the upcoming game and discussion lore nonsense with people curious about the new title since this is far more effective than posting about fake TV shows in some weird social media platform that only exists to distribute gacha currency and closed beta invites.

        Every live service game does this. Hell, most franchises in general do this, and not just in vidya. If you're really lucky, they might have an ending in mind that they're working toward, but even that's rare.

    Here to shill for myself,
    I am preparing for my finals full-on so I don't really have any time for playing Genshin but I also don't really want to part with it nor do I want to leave it alone for a few months and miss out on all that content.
    Is there anyone here who would want to play with my account for a few months (AR57 with Hu Tao, Nahida, Ayaka, Raiden Shogun and Qiqi built) potentially as a second account?
    I won't ever revoke access since you can just snitch on to Mihoyo, so it's like getting a full account for free.

    So, what is going to be here if they do add something? This is near the top-left of the new desert area. There's quite a lot of detailed buildings and trees farther than the playable area. I know Fontaine is north of Vanarana and the leaked map doesn't extend this far west. Natlan is in the south, right? and Snezhnaya is west of Liyue?

    I kinda like how Inazuma and Sumeru completely contradict the messages from Mondstadt and Liyue, showcasing that the situation in Teyvat isn't really all that black and white. A lot of people think that gods are just inherently bad an unneeded and that the main goal of Genshin is total emancipation from the gods, but then Inazuma and especially Sumeru completely flip that around, and the thing you REALLY needed to do in those regions was reinforce their Archons' roles as leaders of their respective regions.

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      I thought the message was "you work you lose" since all of they are/were avoiding their jobs one way or another (except Nahida, but it's not like she had a choice) because of the erosion.

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        Erosion is just "bad things that accumulate with the passage of time". Depression counts as erosion for gods because it wears away at them. The longer you live, the more that kinda stuff accumulates. Everything erodes. Humans erode. It's the basic law of entropy.

        In Inazuma, the entire point of Raiden's character was to drag her out of the Plane of Euthymia because her passivity was allowing Inazuma's rot to go unchecked. Both Inazuma and Sumeru involve greatly dismantling the respective systems of government. In Inazuma, 2/3rds of the Tri-Commission was crippled, while in Sumeru, 4/6 of the Sages were terminated and exiled. This forced both Raiden and Nahida to take more proactive roles in leading their respective nations. So in both these nations, the Traveler's role wasn't to help emancipate the people from their gods as was the case in Liyue (and it's worth pointing out that not only was the Traveler unaware that they were doing this, but the whole thing was the god's idea to begin with), but instead they inadvertently ended up diminishing the authority of humans in those nations in favor of their respective gods.

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      Huh? We didn't reinforce that. The Traveler doesn't really care who rule and there was no reason to try and uproot Raiden entirely just because Venti and Zhongli "retired" (but not really). Further, gods being unneeded is really only something Dainsleif thinks and it's not going to be the point when we ourselves become the god to fix the world as needed. The archons are slaves of the ideals they represent and Venti being hands-off IS the freedom he espouses.

      The Goddess of Flowers was probably a vishap-person too, just going by how Nilou's costume of her has those Azhdaha horns

      That's just a Persian ornament.

              If they did nail it I'd expect it to just nail one specific area instead of as if a nuke went off and do something like the Inazuma miasma stuff until you fix it. I mean, look at Dragonspine and The Chasm, it didn't cause massive destruction it just caused ecological chaos instead.

    Frankly, the idea that they'd nuke a city in Genshin is almost completely unthinkable, as that would mean that the city would be totally unusable afterwards. One of the reasons games like Genshin are so lucrative is because devs can just create assets and continue using those assets for years on end.

      Probably not. I don't really like her as a character, even after all of her appearances, and I don't like her playstyle either. And the 4* rateup is all stuff I already have C6+.
      We'll see, though. I have almost 700 rolls saved, maybe I'll spend some of them. Dehya hasn't really stuck out to me either, and that's the last 5* we know of before water archon.

        Dehya definitely sticks out for me. But more because she is xinyan/amber tier which is amazing in all the wrong ways.

            There's nothing in the lantern rite dinner that states paimon is the god of time
            Astaroth directly helps you and paimon get to the ei-shogun battle
            Venti, the character known for his relationship with astaroth and for his constant hint dropping, drops no such hints in any conversations with or about paimon

              Anonymous

              There are hints to Paimon's association with time and Istaroth from time to time. Nothing overt, but there's a few suspicious parts here and there. For instance, when Venti says "Seeds of stories carried by the wind...", Paimon finishes the phrase with "and cultivated by time". This is a phrase found on the stone compass near/on the Nameless Island, which has strong associations with Istaroth. Additionally, when you first meet Paimon at the very beginning of the game, it's on the beach that's near that very same island. In fact, you can see the island during the cutscene where she's talking to the Traveler.

                It's not common. Everything regarding the worship of Istaroth has become almost completely forgotten in modern Mondstadt. No one else is familiar with that phrase and no one else ever says it. The fact that she completes the phrase without meaning to is suspicious.

                You can do the event without ever looking at that statue. It's not mandatory. You're just being thick-headed. There's obviously something going on with Paimon, so it's silly to just disregard literally everything that seems to hold a hint towards her true identity.

                You're probably the type who only accepts things at face-value and has no interest in anything beyond what's directly stated outright for you.

    The plot is getting better than ever though? Ever since we met Nahida and she taught the travel to do a syllogism the plot has been throwing so many interesting ideas at you. About society, individuality, your responsibilities to others, and all the historical/academic comentary in the golden slumber quest. It is quite literally like she made the plot become smarter and start dealing with bigger issues than "totaltarianism bad" and "sometimes I work too much".

      It does. In China and Japan, Vision Holders are officially called "Genshin" by the gods, though Venti states that this term isn't meant to be spread willy-nilly. In English, the term was translated as "Allogenes".

      He's very strong, has cool animations and pretty fun managing his stocks to get sword rain up as long as possible. But Yelan fits in way more teams and is one of the gods of exploration.

      He is strong but his style is pretty rigid and punishing if you screw up your rotation.

      Yelan is Archon-tier utility but Alhaitham is fricking great too. If you are rolling for gameplay, it depends on what you need, Yelan is SSS-tier damage support, while Alhaitham is a selfish DPS. Keep in mind Alhaitham is also great because he has his full kit at C0 and has a shit ton of weapons he can use that work well with him, if you need a main DPS.

      Yelan would probably be more useful for you though.

    Elegy of the End or Aqua Simulacra for Yelan?

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      Both are good. Elegy helps with her energy issues but it's a bit overkill if you have C1. Aqua is her BiS but without C1, good ER substats or another hydro battery you might have some trouble keeping her burst up.

        No C1, but I lucked out on Emblem farming and every single one of the artifacts has ER on it.

    I hope they don't do any more boss fights like Mecha-Scaramouche. It's so fricking dumb that the mechanics of the fight forced the devs to give you an auto-attacking turret to do most of the work for you.

        Thing is it would have worked if it was just the first stage. In fact, that's legitimately the best part of the fight by far. But the second have is so fricking dumb.

          Frick no. Off fielders don't need their basic attack talents upgraded. Prioritize elemental skills and/or bursts by their usefulness.

      Raise your talents a little first, then work on artifacts, then go back to talents, etc. Basically you should work your way up to the point where doing either is relatively smooth and fast.
