its so stupid. I hate that anyone complaining about the game gets lumped in with assholes. I dont harass anyone, I dont review bomb. In fact, I bet the vast majority of discontent players don't. theres some crazies, that doesn't mean that everything is hunky dory. tbh, I dont really give a poo poo about anniversary rewards lol. I have ganyu, I can clear most of the content. I like the game a lot and I want it to get better. I enjoy the exploration, but after the next patch inazuma will be finished. people crave variety and new things. I dunno if its gonna be like half a year or more until any more real content, if the game will do as well. I really just wish theyd implement a real endgame. something like an endless abyss. rewards dont even have to be great or primogems (god forbid mhy make less money) just give me more stuff to do with my characters.

I thought this post summed up a lot of my issues:https://old.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/pxgf47/worse_than_the_poor_anniversary_rewards_is_the/

also I'm pretty sure that all those articles about "genshin players review bombing random games" come from this obvious joke post https://old.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Memepact/comments/pxnq38/this_is_getting_out_of_hand_man/

also also, I think by and large the honkai players are happy. one crazy dude doesnt change the mood of the community. if I said "jfk was a popular president" and linked to his approval ratings (quite high) him getting domed doesnt disprove it.

I'm 100% for some new ideas, balancing/adding talents for existing characters and some serious level cap raising in year 2 myself. I've started to hit some of the actual game story segment stuff in Honkai Impact and while it's interesting presentation it looks like they just body all of the bosses and encounters like nothing without getting a single scratch and like it could be kind of dull to actually play. I don't really want that to happen to Genshin either where it just becomes purely a story game/anime battle sim much as I like the presentation here too.

For me it's the practical stuff like that that effects how the game plays and keeping things interesting and not so much receiving x free stuff but I'm still not going to have an almighty melt down about it. Then again I'm a guy in my 30's who has better things to do than engage in internet drama and shitposting and claiming it's fun somehow. Maybe it's just me but I don't think at any point in my life that I would hace considered just flinging poo poo all around the internet a "fun" activity like a lot of teenage social media users seem to strongly believe in. Like what's so fun about just making a whole bunch of loving noise, flailing around and just threadshitting an entire community and any other one in any sort of proximity like Arknights, harassing tertiary people like English speaking VA's on contract from Funimation Group etc. and how did a good chunk of the internet generation seemingly convince themselves that this is "funposting"?

I have grown more and more to appreciate the casual nature of the game so I can't say the nebulous idea of endgame interests me. some other activity to do on a longer cycle like Abyss wouldn't be unwelcome, but I'd take stuff as simple as a small set of food delivery quests or glider courses etc.

it's hard to nail down whether people are asking for more difficulty or just activities though. in terms of difficult content, I'm fed enough from the occasional event focusing on it tbh. but perhaps dumping the old Symphony/Vagabond bosses into a domain with a once per patch clear reward (with a low threshold, but a permanent namecard from high performance) would be enough, as repeatable high end content to throw teams against that isn't Abyss.

It seems to have a pretty steady release schedule from what I can tell though. 6 weeks for major content updates, a new event every 10 days or so, new banner every 21 days and various other small updates they sprinkle inbetween. It's a much faster clip than say FFXIV which typically goes a few months in-between major patches and I find that fine too. When I finally do catch up to the current content I'll just find other stuff to do and not be weird about it on the internet I suppose.

1. Slimes are all over the place but they seem most common in Liyue. This area specifically has a ton of them, above Liyue Harbor. There's some anemo ones on the cliffs and then a ton of hydro ones down in the shoals.

And if you need more you can go over to Guyun Stone Forest. If you still need more after that the area where Liyue connects to Dragonspine also has a bunch.

2. The passive works fine but like it says it only applies once every 15 seconds. The stats still make it very good for Beidou though.

*monkey paw curls* Fatui skirmishers are given inazuma release nobushi weight.

Tbh I really miss release nobushi, I had a lot of really cool fights with them, but I know this is very unpopular opinion. 12-1-1 was a bit too obnoxious even for my taste tho.

Your only other option is to murder them before they shield (assuming you have the burst damage for that). The big Fatui have more restrictive counters than most elemental shields.

I do sometimes, guess it’s just a matter of practice and saving everyone’s skill to just explode them as soon as I see them.
Also my Xingqiu isn’t even at 50 yet and his burst skill does so much damage, he’s kind of insane.

it's really not about how much content there is, it's about the way the game is designed to drip feed you poo poo to do so you always want more. I don't even blame people for this one because this is how they're supposed to feel

I mean, lemme see if I understand your logic, you think them giving the players pretend money might cost them, and that it's much preferable that every single social media and advertisement is bombed by dissatisfied players. this hypothetical disaster of giving everyone a free 5* would somehow cost them more than many articles and every discussion page and discord being consumed by this controversy?

since that guy earlier (incredibly stupidly) compared this to qanon, allow me to add my own incredibly stupid political comparison: this thread is just like Hilary in 2016, with her supporters saying everything was just fine no matter how obviously something was going wrong. this is a pr disaster, like it or not, and normally companies try to salvage themselves in a case like this. I almost admire how stonefaced mhy has been throughout it all.

UTC-4 is the same as EST, so this is way too early in the morning.

Then there's the Genshin Concert, which is happening at 8:40 PM UTC+8. I'm getting real confused trying to convert these time zones, but it seems like the concert is actually starting 40 minutes after the stream starts.

i think this was from before the new law, but since games were ready to go with this feature before the law was in place i believe they understood what they should be aiming for. so in order to add more endgame they probably would add skip tickets so that people can save time elsewhere (probably to skip some amount of domains per week?)

The mail's about the upcoming concert and the glider's musically themed. I'd call the concert as part of the anniversary, on account of the timing, and the free primos part of the celebration, but since it's not spelled out on ten-metre high letters, some people might have difficulty connecting the dots

As a newer player the literal daily commissions and resin seem fine, it's things like fishing and mining and collecting random materials that are really annoying. And I'm not at the point of starting artifact grind but that seems bad too.

https://webstatic-sea.mihoyo.com/app/ys-map-sea/

There is an official map you can browse, checking all the slimes will give you a great idea of where to find them. You could also use the ingame enemy finder, but that doesn't catch every single enemy.

Which is odd, isn't it? We have an official map to point out where every enemy is, so why doesn't the ingame enemy finder just do the same? I can imagine maybe not showing the "hidden" enemy spawns that need you to get close to spawn in, but still...

It's not wearing a hood nor does it have weird camouflage coloring, it just has another face for a mouth. Also I'm suing genshin for modelling it after my dog's likeness without credit.

supposedly it'll be 4 days of rewards, so probably all the items from that 30 dollar concert bundle + 1600 primogems total. the bundle had 3 items in it, so there might be something else on one of the days along with the primos.

impossible to say if the primogems were "planned" rewards, but the extra items are definitely something they're giving away. i dont see any reason to send them by mail if they had planned for it though (given they already had made the login reward event.)
