Her C1 looks pretty meh. She's also really awkward, which people way more experienced with her in this thread will tell you better than I can. Fun, but awkward.

As of Hu Tao's release we'll have gotten 2 anemo, 2 geo, 3 pyro, 2 cryo, 1 hydro, and zero new electro characters.

we already know the next big patch is gonna have the electro archon, plus the electro traveler presumably. it makes sense to go lighter on electro units leading up to it.

That patch is scheduled for, like, August. But yes it's unfair of me to say that because Electro launched with more units than anyone and hydro still has fewer units.

those old datamines only had Scaramouche in as an electro character, so there's like grand total of two and a traveler form that we could expect. when you account for other expected additions (1 geo/hydro/pyro, 2 anemo, 3 cryo, and whatever they're doing with the Liyue dendros) it actually kinda balances everything except hydro, apparently.

Hu Tao leaks said that Inazuma will be after 1.6, after 1.4 Windbloom Festival, 1.5 Chasm and 1.6 Inazuma first chapter + Ludi Harpastum, which would put Inazuma release at 21/7 (17/3. is 1.4, 28/4. is 1.5. 9/6 is 1.6). It's not exactly close, but it'd mean we're about halfway there since release and we haven't really gotten that many characters so far anyway - if we get about one or two more electro in that time, it'd sound about right, I guess?

Now that I've got to try 12-3 with a proper team, I think this floor has the least dps requirement to 9* the whole thing of all versions of floor 12 we had so far. The 2 ruin graders fight look scary on paper but you get two fight both immediately rather than one spawning after the other and they always bunch up and chase you so by the time you've killed one the other is probably almost dead. I think they are trying to move dps requirements to tank/heal ones which is not a bad idea IMO, they just went way too far with 12-1. That poo poo is way to tedious.

I dunno, to me it just looks like 100% garbage and regressing design to patterns I thought they had finally recognized as bad. Every single chamber in floor 12 has absolutely godawful mechanics, it's like a perfect example of everything that is wrong with Mihoyo's combat design. It's all about unavoidable damage that you have to facetank while meeting a DPS check at the same time. In chamber 1 the fight is mostly against the camera - there's no real way to avoid all of the gigantic AoE bullshit and you can't even see it most of the time because the geovishaps push you around so much and their effects are so huge and colorful it becomes impossible to see what's going on. It's also glitchy and they stop taking damage sometimes. From chamber 2 and on we're back to the old and incredibly bad "difficulty by elemental aura" pattern, which is to say that each chamber has one of the incredibly fun and engaging auras that just constantly spawns huge AoE's on the floor that you can't reliably avoid. Chamber 2 has electro and pyro auras, both of which are annoying enough, but chamber 3 has geo and cryo, both of which restrict your movement in addition to doing enormous amounts of damage on their own. Like, these fights are positively idiotic. You're not encouraged to actually learn any moves or figure out any tactics, it's facetank and eat unavoidable damage all the time and you just hope you don't get stunlocked and instagibbed. gently caress off.

So I have been pulling on banners where Bennett was on banner, it took me took me around 200 pulls in total to get him. I got Keqing twice on standard before I got him. Being outlier can be both joyful and saddening especially for F2P.

Do we know what the Windbloom Festival is supposed to be about? I've seen mentions of Ludi Harpastum in game lore, but they're supposed to be different, right? If they keep up this pattern of one limited and one "standard" character banner per month, I bet the next standard character banners will be Diluc or Mona for Windbloom, Qiqi for Chasm, and Jean for Ludi Harpastum.

Bloody Emissary posted:Do we know what the Windbloom Festival is supposed to be about? I've seen mentions of Ludi Harpastum in game lore, but they're supposed to be different, right? Windbloom Festival will have Mondstadt decorated with flowers and will feature various minigames that will give coins that can be used in event shop as usual: Bullseye Balloons: Pop the correct balloons with normal attacks or charged attacks (including aimed shots) within the time limit. Game will be held at four locations in Mondstadt. You can compete with others in co-op. Floral Freefall: Glide down from a cliff and get points via touching Dandelion Heads (35pt), Windwheel Asters (200pt), and a moving Final Garland (400pt) before you hit the ground. Remaining time on clock gives bonus points. Available in co-op. Windstock: A rhythm game where you tap to music I assume there will also be some local quests. There will also be an event (Oceanid challenge) where you can get mini-Oceanid pet, but it seems to not be part of the festival Yes, Windbloom festival is different from Ludi Harpastum, this seems as wind god celebration or sth (thus Venti rerun sounds logical and Jean possibly as well)

I meant that it's good that they try to give some use to all the non bennet/jean defensive characters that right now only appear if you need their resonance. I do agree that 12-1 is a tedious mess with a very poorly designed enemies. 12-2 is neither interesting nor particularly dangerous but at least 12-3-1 did force me to bring a team that actively generates crystalize shields to mitigate the geo aura, which is a first for me.

Is there a particular place to farm enemy drop materials? My current team (Razor/Diona/Noelle/Kaeya but I might sub him for Bennett) appears to be heavy on hilichurl drops for ascensions and talent level-ups: am I just supposed to wander around looking for camps? Target-farming the special enemy materials is comparatively simple.

Target-farming the special enemy materials is comparatively simple. The adventuring book has an "Enemies" tab that specifically points you to enemy camps. It's not perfect and leaves off a lot of the spawns, but it's generally easier to read than having an interactive map on your second monitor.

Target-farming the special enemy materials is comparatively simple. You can see hilichurl huts on the map; they're the little brown circles. More particularly, there's a bunch of 'churls in the three camps around Dadaupa Gorge, and some in Guyun Stone Forest (a convenient place to farm, since you can pick up some ore, crabs, and ruin guard bits while you're at it). I like the Thousand Winds Temple, too, just because it seems to have fewer archers than other places, making moments of disappointment when my drops turn out to be Yet More Arrowheads less frequent.

I guess that's a lot of genshin quests but it feels worse with some of these the worst was that one with the woman that you'd talk to, then follow her a short distance, talk to her, repeat. why does it work like that
