That seems like a huge oversight. They're pushing the co-op of this pretty hard, but they don't make the store stock seperate for players? It's not like we can trade items or whatever.

That was my first thought too, but clearly they don't want everyone to have 500 pets immediately. It's still kinda lovely, but since stock looks to be 2 pets and then a pile of landscaping and isn't available to friends until the next day it'll just mean, in practice, everyone buys their pets and then grabs two landscaping pieces Saturday/Sunday.

I was still really hoping to load up on pets immediately, ngl. Disappointed but it kinda made sense after I thought about it.

Super lame they made that a BP requirement. It's a bit harder to get the 10k weekly for newer players right now I think.

I'm in asia so I'm a bit ahead of you guys. the new event is pretty fun. A nice arena thats difficult even with a well specced ganyu and zhongli. the difficulty options are back too! Overall, 1.5 has been really good and meaty, I really like the housing and it's finally a new permanent system of stuff to do! I do wish that it just counted all the stuff in your inventory so you didnt need to place it, my house looks like poo poo, but w/e. Zhongli and yanfei quest were both fun. if 1.6 really does have new map content (islands, right?) then it looks like mihoyo is finally pulling out of their slump.

It's 2/3rds of the previous one. It was 675 per each weekly boss, now it's 1350 for any three out of the four, I believe.

Wait, can not you just buy 1 piece of fabric from a friends teapot to complete the quest? You need to buy from the special vendor? And also how do I join a random person’s teapot or does it actually have to be someone on my friends list?

Finished the two new hangouts and it’s a bit weird, didn’t like them compared to the first one.

Diona is just… not a likable person. I’ll just say that.

Noelle’s seems really out of character for her. To be honest I don’t remember the details of the first events anymore but I thought I remembered her being like, ultra strong and capable to everyone’s surprise. Her new events have her meek and unsure and it’s a bit of a regression.

Yeah you can't interact with the regular vendor in a friend's home, just the special one. On console I just hit R3 on my friends and choose "Request to visit Teapot" or whatever.

Your friends also need to either be online and accept your request to join OR they need to make their teapot auto accept join requests. On PS4 I think I found the setting for that in the map view of the teapot world, it took a while to find it.

Are there any in-game rewards for doing house stuff (e.g. ores or xp or primos or etc) to be gained from the house stuff? As it turns out, I don't really care about my pocket dimension but I'll do the thing if it has a positive impact on the rest of the game.

You get currency over time depending on your progress which lets you buy exp books and the like but it's quite a ways into the whole process. I'm not sweating it too much either, just going through it for now since you can adjust everything later to your liking if you get into it. Just popping in like once a day is enough.

I dunno, I thought it was cool actually having a challenge for once outside of abyss. it's nice to get a chance to actually use characters to their potential.

I'm complaining about collecting the cores on the overmap. Any of the spots that spawned with more than one archer could just randomly delete a character if you got caught on the edge of a spread shot and got staggered into the next one's volley. Nothing about that is interesting or fun to me as a mechanic.

The domain is just boring crap as vishaps are just the most boring bigger enemies to fight.

I guess I'm the weird person who liked the first event in the ruins and the meteor event where you could just coop fight waves of enemies and be done quickly.

Edit: Twice I had Jean and Childe just get full to zero'd in less time than it took to eat food by the hilichurl archers. This was at max world level with 90 characters. Maybe I suck for getting hit once and then staggered by elemental arrows!

To those wondering why you're hitting a seemingly unexplained object cap, it has to do with the "Load" icon you can see during build mode. The values are hidden, but when the dot turns red is when you've hit the cap. Animals are particularly load-heavy, and many trees use up a lot of load for the feng shui points they provide.

The trick is to not even get close and delete them from afar with Ganyu. Pop shield before starting to make sure.

(Guess you could also use other archers, it will just be slower.)

Hi!
I've had decent success scouting out the cores first to see where the weird power stones are and then just getting those I can safely while using Beidous parry counter if I get pressured during it. Had some decent and enjoyable fights, but I do agree that the archers surrounding some of these things are a bit obnoxious. It's a one time thing, so I don't mind it too much.
I do actually like the big geovishaps quite a bit, but the small ones are obnoxious as all hell since they bury and zoom around all the time.

I'm not quite sure how this stuff relates to some volatile fruit exploding, but I must admit I only really skimmed the text.

The way the load thing is implemented is super dumb for many obvious reasons, but the standout reason is that getting a decent comfort level will prevent you from being able to have a sick menagerie.

I'm assuming once you start unlocking other areas, you'll be able to maintain an adequate comfort level without having to work around the load limit.

Huh, I didn't even know that the 'churls did extra damage with the crystals active, I just thought they took barely any damage. I didn't have any problems with them and in the third one with three crystals in the huts I initially missed the other two altogether until I only had one mitachurl left and noticed it still had the aura on it. I took some hits but it wasn't too bad. Guess my crew's more badass than I thought.

I'm relieved that the teapot stuff is dramatically easier on PC than it was mobile. I found the "snap to grid" someone mentioned and had an easier time.

Currently my area is kind of weird because I'm equipping things regardless of whether they go together, so I have this Mondstadt building and a fancy Liyue gate that isn't connected to any walls.

I'll be curious to see the places people build. They really give you a huge number of tools to work with.

I just pulled a C1 for Zhongli, not sure how I feel about it. Does it add a lot to have his other rocky block up. I don't have other Geo construct-capable characters in my current crew.

The building stuff is so weird on console. The devs seem to hate the d-pad for navigating menus and the analog stick sucks when it comes to that. Why put menu navigation on the stick and camera movement in build mode to the d-pad? On that note, why the hell is R2 for zooming out and L2 for zooming in? It's the literal opposite of every other game ever made.
