I wonder how far away Varka is. Is he gonna be in like 5.6 or something?

Q: Is there any way to obtain gadgets from events that I've missed? I regret missing out.

A: For Travelers who have missed out, don't worry. In Version 2.2, Travelers can use Mora to purchase the Windblume Festival Commemorative Balloon, Windsong Lyre, and Wind-Blessed Harpastum gadgets from Marjorie's store in Mondstadt~

My one problem with the Lyre is that I was hoping you'd be able to select and play songs with it yourself too, I'm not musically inclined so I never feel the urge to pull it out and gently caress with it for no reason.

Based on nothing I'm expecting there to be another survey soon so I'm gonna try and get everything on a list for once.

Give Flora and Ella Musk adult models again
Add a way to buy multiple items at a time so I can clear out all the ingredient stores at once. OR; better yet, make it a subscription so I can keep getting ingredients and just go pick them up and give them 100k mora and not have to bother with the menu.
Fix geo constructs breaking immediately on enemies and especially the Oceanid and Thunder Manifestation bosses
Add Tubby's menu fixes to every NPC
Buff Raiden Shogun by renaming her burst Musou no Hitotachi
Give us a quest to turn off the wind barriers in Stormterror's lair
Let us lock artifacts as soon as we get them instead of having to go into our menu to sort them
Let us lock the artifact potions
Add a way to lock artifact sets and swap them over to other characters

The only proper edit to Ella musk is deletion.

Also they run surveys like every three weeks? I think? Or maybe every end of patch? And we just got one like two days ago.

Kind of a propos of nothing but Gandlethorpe, thanks a lot for showing off Kazuha, I would not have known to pull for him if you hadn't shown off his amazing utility. Mid-air boost is such an amazing thing to have. Now the game just needs to support mid-air character switching so I can combine him with Xiao.

too bad Itto looks so young, I thought he was gonna be a Buff Adult Man with that wild mane of shaggy hair from the leaks, but his face makes him look like a teenager/shounen protagonist :negative:

Ah so Genshin Impact does indeed have those types of buy hundreds of the same merchandise Fujoshi whale type fans even after only a year. I was only somewhat joking before, but now can't help but feel like they're just scratching the surface here if Childe is getting that sort of mileage. If characters like Raiden Shogun did what they did in terms of banner gross I can't even imagine what characters like Itto are going to do particularly in Japan if they play all the cards exactly right like I mentioned, especially with the choice of VA. If Childe comes across as like a 7/10 on the seems like he would appeal to Fujoshi scale than Itto is strong 10/10 based on just character design alone.

I don't know how much of it is bot activity but Itto's likes on his twitter intro post are almost already at 200K in a little over 7 hours of it going up. Like nearly double Gorou's. :stonk:

I imagine it's due to Itto's novelty versus Gorou being old news. In addition to being the first buff dude, his model has been kept under wraps and so is a complete surprise to most. Even leak followers didn't know exactly what he'd look like.

Also the thirst factor.

Hard for me to imagine them getting off to a better start with this one honestly. I'm a male obviously but I've kind of gotten a sense of pattern for the sort of character that Fujoshi anime/JRPG fans tend to be into over the years and he really looks like a bullseye. He also seems like he could be a more than a little bitty goofy, over the top flamboyant, and lackadaisical as well which seems to be among if not THE key popular personality types with the demographic he's targeting. I strongly suspect that's a key part of Childe's popularity with Asian women as well.

I'm kind of curious to see what sort of story they have in mind for Childe's character quest part II and whether it's going to be locked behind story completion or not. Will it be a little more serious given what's happened to his comrades after Inazuma or will it be kind of comedic like the one where he went to ridiculous lengths not to let his little brother figure out what he actually does for a living.

If Itto uses a brand new base model, Smiley Yanxiao should get a vision (and obv a new wardrobe) so they can make more use of it.

I use Geo Traveler a lot and can confirm. You can get him pretty significantly under 50% before he starts phase 2 by letting him run into your rocks.

I've been using Yanfei in the abyss for a few weeks. She hits very hard and you can run her burst indefinitely with a little ER, not that you would want to. I hate Yanfei.

Kinda like Fischl, Yanfei doesn't need that much energy recharge because burst uptime isn't an issue with the way she alternates between skill/burst to max scarlet seals. When her burst isn't up you just pop her elemental skill, do a charged attack, and swap. Her burst will be up next time you rotate to her. Yanfei's problem is too much burst uptime where she hogs the drat field. She is a glass cannon that must constantly pause for charged attacks, which means extra dodging before/after those charged attacks. Too much dodging, not enough attacking. She eats up stamina zigzagging around. Also because you want to keep your distance it makes grouping enemies harder.

c4 is a real game-changer for Yanfei. With the c4 shield you can make the tactical decision to dodge less, get better grouping, and quickly lay out her sequence until she starts taking damage and then swap without finishing her burst duration. Get her damage out there and rotate. c4 Yanfei works.

Happy with the 4* selection for Childe because I don't have any of them at a high con. Extremely bummed about the MoD, I was actually gonna do the weapon banner, but now? Naw.

I actually don't know why there's so much hype for the Polar Star. Like yeah it's an upgrade to Skyward Harp but Skywards have never been considered anything special and are just meant to be baseline solid 5* weapons. Amos is way better on Ganyu than everything else, Rust is as good or better than every 5* bow other than the signature bow for Yoimiya, Venti likes to either use Favonius Bow for generating energy for the team or an EM option. Besides Childe and maybe Aloy/Amber, I don't think this is ever going to be the bow you go "oh yeah this is the ideal weapon for this character." And I don't think it's even a meaningful upgrade over Skyward Harp for anyone who has Skyward Harp.

No Wave
Sep 18, 2005

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
It's the generically best bow for damage supports (Fischl, crit build Venti, support Ganyu, Aloy/Amber lol) and is Childe's best bow. You can imagine more appropriate 5*s but there aren't any yet. None of these use cases excite me but for general purpose use it's the highest damage bow we've seen and if I could get any bow for free right now I'd probably pick it. I don't expect people will go super crazy for it though.

That leak has a track record of predicting 0 5*s and 1 4* on the first banners of the patch.

I’m also kinda confused on why you’d pick polar star for quickswap ganyu? The crit rate is heavily devalued by blizzard strayer and stacking it prior to casting burst is going to be at least a little awkward.
