Been on a bit of a Genshin break for about 8 months now. I think I left off right before the post-Sumeru Dainsleif chapter. So I haven't experienced any of Fontaine. How's the story going? I know some people were hoping Fontaine would shake things up, has this been the case? Also, what about that one hot lady Harbinger that everyone was excited for? She cool? She available for pulls yet?

Story is good, albeit it's good in two parts with a completely irrelevant and mechanically lovely section in the middle. The storyline is again self-contained for the most part, and you get few overarching hints at a grander scale around the fringes. It'll probably have another Dainleif chapter eventually that is a bit more relevant to the plot. The harbinger is not on a banner, or announced on one, or in beta. Mechanically, Fontaine itself is pretty good. Underwater is pretty and feels like a natural extension. There's a ton of new gimmicks, just like Sumeru, but they don't have the deep quest requirements for interacting with the gimmicks like Sumeru did. The 5*s have been focused on gaining/losing HP, though the next one is converting crystallize to damage. It's still Genshin and it doesn't make any wild changes, but it's pretty good and (aforementioned quest aside) eliminates some of the more annoying idea from Sumeru.

I think Sumeru was much better than Fontaine, but that still just means Fontaine easily clutches second story. The last part really turned it around (like it always does tbh) but I found there to be a lot of filler in the middle segment especially. Exploration is good, they actually made being underwater fun and enjoyable. I prefer the deserts of Sumeru but the world quests are very solid and if you like the deeplore they tease some very interesting poo poo throughout Fontaine, just without the powerful personal punch that Jeht added to the story.

Ah, so they're just sticking with the formula mostly, it seems. Good to hear Fontaine is fun. I feel like my time with Genshin is always about playing in manic bursts. I usually come back around the time of Lantern Rite, play for about three months, and then get burned out trying to keep up and quit until the next year's Lantern Rite. quote:The harbinger is not on a banner, or announced on one, or in beta. Good to know I have time until I need to return. Because she will pull me back in.

Suggestions on what BP weapon to pick? I'm about to hit 30, and thinking I'll probably cough up the  .Currently I'm running Kaeya/Bennett/Xiangling/Beidou, but after new toons and thread feedback, looking to switch to Dendro Traveler/Kuki/Barbara/Lynette. I gave Kuki Lion's Roar which I just got also. Barbara I gave that 3* Thrilling Tales book (the spreadsheet has it has her top weapon for support, but for bloom the only thing I have on the list is Magic Guide 3*). I don't really have anything for Traveler / Lynette (unless I take stuff from my current team). I have a prototype rancour / archaic / starglitter made and in use. I have the billets to make a sword and catalyst. The only other swords I have are a few random 3*s. Also I just now found out that you can retrieve cooking items from anywhere - not just where you queued them up. Whoops.

Serpent spine is considered one of the best 4 star weapons in the game, though the Ballad of the Fjords is a great spear and usable on more people (arguably). Since you're new, it'll depend on who your trying to build out ninjoatse.cx fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Nov 30, 2023 |

I'd only recommend Ballad of the Fjords for Hu Tao or Raiden hyperbloom (and even then Dragon's Bane is better for her). Xiangling is hard to make Fjords fully work on due to her er requirements and The Catch is right there. Barring anything specific I would say you may as well start the journey to Serpent Spine r5.

Pick the BP weapon for a character you need crit rate on the most. The Wolf Fang is good on a lot of characters. Some BP weapons are better than others, but don't pick Serpent Spine just because it has the best bonuses from refinements. Pick Serpent Spine if you have a character who is actually going to use it. Who needs crit rate the most?No Wave posted:There are chests placed out of bounds in one-time domains you have to glitch into but those dont really count (they dont count for completion percent either). I still can't find one Sumeru chest. Wiki just says it spawns "sometimes" in Apam woods.  Speaking of, there's some chest under the water of Samudra Coast in sumeru I never figured out how to find.

Bennett, Xiangling, and Barbara all have great f2p options (though some require unlocking), and neither BP sword is going to drastically improve your sword users.

Nakar posted:They do 5% of their regular damage to you, and Bloom is one of the weaker Dendro reactions. You will start noticing you're blowing yourself up with Nilou's buffed cores or Burgeon. Hyperbloom I think can technically also self-damage but the AoE is so small it will usually never happen. Also hyperbloom is very often bringing Kuki along since she’s so good at it, so you just heal the damage you receive from cores from playing the team normally.

I’m unsure if it’s more of a slap in the face to players that Albedo’s BiS is forever lost to an event, or if it’s that Furina’s best 4 star is from 1.2 lol. It’s like occasionally they indirectly tell players “you better never take a break”, which hiding lore beyond time limited events already does but gating weapons like that is poo poo.

It seems weird that they use FOMO to keep playing yet release more content than like, every other game out there I've seen and the gaccha aspect is kind of secondary to the scope and scale of the world. I've had a pretty enjoyable experience without spending a dime but god forbid I ever get caught up or get burnt out again and miss a ton of events

I dislike almost all of the events so they do a pretty bad job of enticing me into sticking around. Yet another enemy wave combat arena or tedious minigame? Way too much pointless and overly verbose dialogue where people talk about food or whatever? Hu Tao rap? Yeah, no thanks. The one with Fichl/Xinyan/Kazuha/Mona that gave you new islands to explore was decent since overworld exploration is the best part of this game.

They pretty obviously made the pipe sword for Furina so lacking FD doesn't matter nearly as much as Spindle. I don't think any other event weapons really have such an impact, and probably by design. The fomo of it is preemptively watered down.

I do hope they find a way to make event weapons available again, though. The way it's currently handled is definitely sub-par.

Thanks everyone to all the build suggestions from (many pages back now) I've managed to actually get myself a semi-competant team that's letting me actually progress now. So that's a lot of fun. Still can't always be sure I can pass an artifact domain at top level, sometimes need to step down to the level 80 version, but I'm fine with this. I've been bumbling about doing some of the quests in my backlog, of which there are many, but the game keeps making me stop because an NPC in the chain is busy in another quest. So I start that one, except then an NPC in that one is busy in ANOTHER quest and it starts to get very awkward. Is this just a Liyue side quest issue, or something that plagues the game because I've got 3 years of content just dumped at once. Seperate but similar I was doing one about a chasm in Liyue that suddenly opened a huge area that reminded me of dragonspine. A lot. Like its a multi-day huge explore project with stuff to do. At this point I'm wondering if I should pause on that to go and focus on unlocking Izuma. There's so much game here that you can seemingly do at any time, its quite overwhelming at this point! If you were starting fresh/restarting from many years, what would you do? Just mainline all the Archon story quests and go back to explore/pickup stuff, or stop and smell the roses on every distracted shiney thing.

I would open up the character archive and look at who got added and seems cool, and after that I'd start moving the story forward. I feel like ever since Inazuma came out they've started adding quests that affect the world that aren't Archon Quests. Fixing The Mikage Furnace, The Sacred Sakura Cleansing ritual, all the Aranara stuff, etc so if I happen to find any side quests that seem important I'll definitely work on those quickly.
