 Game would be so different without emblem domain. It unfortunately exacerbates the vaporize meta because all the vaporize units use it.

It's really too bad shime kinda sucks to use in practice. I'm always hem and hawing about getting my Hu Tao crimson witches, but the knowledge that I'd need to grind that domain for like 2 or 3 months, just to (maybe) match the shime pieces I already incidentally picked up, always makes me reconsider. And all those lavawalkers...

I've been grinding Crimson Witch for the past week for lack of anything better to spend my resin on. They didn't name the sands Lavawalker's Torment without reason. I don't think I've gotten a single good Witch's piece yet.

Pulled Yelan, first 5 star. Pulled Yun Jin as well the other day, so I'm going to remake a team. I wish I had another Electro besides the Traveller. As an aside, when you know you're just going to be doing menu poo poo for an hour, do you have a particular game world spot you leave your character while you work? I do this in every game, just haven't found my spot in Genshin yet.

Anywhere but the senrenitea pot, where you'll constantly hear the active character's idle chatter

So I admit I have no idea how to put the characters in the character showcase on this Enka Network thing and am on limited time this morning. Maybe I'll fiddle with this thing later cause it seems neat. Is it something you do in game or something though?

You do it selecting "edit profile" (click the little pencil button near the character name):  Then just add characters to the showcase, and make sure "show character details" is enabled:  Then enter your UID on the website and wait 5 minutes for it to refresh the data (you'll see a little timer counting down).

i imagine part of it is that both fontaine and sumeru are bordering liyue from what little knowledge we have of the tevyat landscape, whereas natlan is on the clear other side and then snezhnaya is kind of obvious considering, well [gestures at fatui]

Confirming that the weapon banner fate point system thingy doesn't carry over between banners, but your overall pity count does right? Somehow got absurdly lucky in that when I threw a few ten pulls (40 so far) at the weapon banner since I lucked into a Yelan I hit both a Skyward Harp and a PJWS, which means I could get her signature weapon if I felt like it, or if it carries over (which I don't think it does) could maybe try for Freedom Sworn for my Kaz come 2.8. If it doesn't carry over, will just go for the shiny bow now.

I think that's correct; the 65 soft pity / 80 hard pity carrying over and the Epitomized Path being the one that resets every time the Weapon Banner focus changes.

I happened upon a youtube video about the archons and it mentioned Natlan and I realized I know nothing about it after playing the game since launch. I think it was mentioned in like, one of their roadmap videos way back at the start, and other than that it's probably shown up in some books or stray weapon descriptions or something. No NPC is likely to mention it, because the devs use NPC dialogue to hype up the next places you're going. So you meet stray dudes from Fontaine, and find loads of people chatting about Fontaine and their cool cameras and flying taxis or whatever those kids mention. Sumeru's just been sorta in the background (rather like Snezhnaya) because it has the academy and sends people out all over the world. Seems like their plan for Natlan doesn't involve an organization that does outreach like the academia or the fatui. Probably doesn't have the sort of industries that Fontaine does that require a presence in other countries for technical reasons, either. Regardless, we'll probably be hearing people whispering about it in Sumeru, even if it's just academics complaining about the jungle or whatever. Probably won't get constantly mentioned in every other quest involving someone important until Fontaine, though. That's about what they did with Inazuma.

Mix. posted:i imagine part of it is that both fontaine and sumeru are bordering liyue from what little knowledge we have of the tevyat landscape, whereas natlan is on the clear other side Yeah Snezhnaya has been pretty prominent from the start, with Sumeru creeping in more and more and Fontaine being mentioned here and there and people from there being featured in some pretty big events over time, but Natlan is a huge mystery still. I'd guess it's the "last" nation we'll visit before going back to Khaenri'ah considering how obscure it is. Have there been any decent guesses as to what real-world nation or region it mimics yet? Fontaine is Genshin-France steampunk land or something, right? Snezhnaya is obviously Russia and Sumeru is a middle-eastern-like region. Africa would be cool, I guess.

Natlan is Central/South America, we're pretty sure, at least based off the name and the one character we've seen from it. The order is Sumeru -> Fontaine -> Natlan -> Snezhnaya -> ??????? -> Khaenri'ah (the only Act to have no number associated with it, implying something will be coming between the two)

Seems to be sorta south/central american themed, but that's based on some concept art and I don't remember where I saw it. Here's their storyline overview thing, I guess don't look at that if you don't want to know what the upcoming chapters are called or what the archons were intended to look like as of 2020.

Yeah, all the regions they have planned are roughly based on real world cultures and locations: Mondstadt - Germany (or just more generically Eastern European?) Liyue - China Inazuma - Japan Sumeru - Middle East Fontaine - France Natlan - South America Snezhnaya - Russia Khaenri'ah is a wild card, no telling what that might entail honestly. Maybe something more original and fantasy like. Zenostein posted:Seems to be sorta south/central american themed, but that's based on some concept art and I don't remember where I saw it.

Cool, thanks for that. South America can be interesting, especially if they tap in to Mayan themes or something, I'd be all over that. Long way to go though, probably 2026 at this rate or whatever. E: Mondstadt is super Holland with all the windmills and all, like no doubt.

YoshiOfYellow posted:Yeah, all the regions they have planned are roughly based on real world cultures and locations: Ah, my bad. I just glanced at it. Although I suppose that should've clicked with the Ayaka and those twins. People always say Germany for Mond, but it really just feels like "generic western european fantasy land." Might just be with their insistence that the only alcohol they have is dandelion wine that makes it less german-feeling to me. Similarly, despite France being the obvious thing for Fontaine, it feels like it'll be more of a France/Switzerland/England/America sort of mish-mash. Lots of investors and inventors and nonsense. Unless they go nuts and Khaenri'ah is somehow 50's sci-fi americaland, but with swords.

That spreadsheet recommends Heart of Depth for Ayato over the newer set. Might try giving him my Childe's* set as an excuse to give Yoimiya his set (since I really want to get her off Shimenawa's). * Speaking of Childe, I feel like his skill absolutely should have a significantly shorter cooldown. Despite not really being stronger than a character like Ayato or Yoimiya's skill, it has a dramatically longer cooldown (even if you stop it after a shorter period of time). I think one of the biggest differences is that his cooldown doesn't even begin until you stop the skill, while the other characters' start immediately.

Ytlaya posted:That spreadsheet recommends Heart of Depth for Ayato over the newer set. I feel Ayato has pretty much deprecated Childe. Childe never had a huge role outside of a few niche vape teams, but Ayato just feels much smoother to use, and his burst has a modify-the-battlefield effect rather than just a big damage effect, which tends to also out damage the big number alone just because you can react with it. Even when I see side by side comparisons when Childe pulls ahead against small groups of enemies, I feel that slightly modifying Ayato's playstyle doesn't put him that far behind.
