FYI to artifact route nerds. The rolling weeds in the desert count as artifact points if you do them before your daily route. Note that some of them are still farmable AFTER you do your daily route and get your 100 points, but I'm not sure what the deal with those are.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:speaking of weapons, does anyone besides Cyno actually want the new event spear? I have no clue what to do with it but I kind of want to level it up anyway because of the event 1.5x exp thing. I doubt it outperforms Catch on xiangling? https://twitter.com/Genshinmem/status/1575064784495865856 It's a spear, so thus it belongs to Xiangling.

I thought that section was locked behind an Aranara quest? There's an underground entrance to it I found that has some Aranara stuff but I don't have the song to open it.

Thank loving christ for this thread where I can have discussions that arent just about "end game content". I'm glad they put the current event in Mondstadt cause there hasnt been much revolving around that region at all this year and it means I don't have to scramble off to the desert right away just to keep current with the story and event.

It kind of amazes me that they put in a non insignificant amount of work into these events and when they're over the content is just...gone forever. I mean, I would have enjoyed doing the lantern festival thing in liyue among other stuff but I guess it just sucks for me that I started playing too late

Funnily enough, if they were just playing poo poo off youtube instead of locally, the cutscenes might not poo poo themselves and fall over so much. I do kinda like that the events happen in "real time," so they can refer back to last year's lantern rite and so on, but it is pretty terrible that there's no way to go back and see what any of the ones you missed were. Doubly so since it's taken them 2 years to get to "eventually you can delete old cutscene data." It's kinda like how you can't really go back and see the cutscenes for the old archon stories, but they've kept the voice data available if you (for some reason) wanted to read through the text log of the quest. But you can't see a list of quests you've completed, unless you poke around the reputation centers. Lot of weird decisions involving past content.

I'm vaguely hoping they'll keep not-oktoberfest as mondstad's annual thing. It's been pretty alright, even if "people put out little gifts for strangers (they're all from people you met, coincidentally), but it's cool if you, in particular, just take all of them" is a bit of a weird tradition. Maybe we're just using our 7th dimensional powers to pick the gifts from people we like, and also random hunters.

With Collei being offered as a permanently available unlock I now have C6 Collei. This was in no way intended and I think I have a couple of C2 and a handful of C1 characters outside of her, nothing close. I just really wanted Zhongli and had a really weird run of luck. Fortunately Collei seems to do a good job throwing dendro everywhere so I’m just rolling with it. Never did get Zhongli.

I think it could also be that past events assume that the game world is in a certain state (e.g. Sumuru doesn't exist), and getting those old events to populate correctly in the latest version without weird dependency issues is not a trivial task.

Come to think of it, it's been ages since I've seen an npc conflict in a quest. I'm assuming it would completely choke on itself if you tried to rerun say, the fischl event at the same time as this one. Or a previous lantern rite during a current one. It would probably work fine if they popped that event world out as its own map, but that's insane, so they definitely wouldn't.

There is, according to reddit, a fairly nasty one if you are mid-Tighnari's story quest when doing Sumeru Chapter 3. Apperantly they had to do each quest one step at a time because Tighnari kept moving to the other quest.

If you tried to do the main story quest of this patch while having Tighnaris story quest unlocked but not started it triggers a bunch of goofy conflicts. You're forced to do his quest until the part where you feed the Sumpter Beast, at which point he vanishes to go be in the main quest. e;fb

I do think people were too hard on Cyno, and that a lot of people underrate hyperbloom as a supplemental reaction for aggravate (the way overload is for vaporize). But it's pretty funny how mhy ended up releasing a Xingqiu dependant selfish hypercarry in tyool 2022 lol

His main problem is that his burst lasts too long, but if they introduce any dendro units, or buffers in general, whose buffs last longer his stocks can only go up. And he's getting one of those next patch at least.

ninjoatse.cx posted:it'd be nice if he broke down the sets on each     pardon the C2, that cyno is hitting harder than it would without it, but the hyperbloom damage would be the same. Just pretend the DB is R5 and the talents are level 10 and the flower is better and then its maybe kind of in the same ballpark. The C6 beidou is unfortunately really important because no res reduction otherwise. Deepwood brings the blooms from 20k to 25k so its a pretty amazing set.

It depends on who you're listening to because that exact team was an option floating around in TC before Cyno came out and I posted about it here before Cyno came out. It's just not as good as the Sucrose variant because Sucrose can swirl hydro in AoE situations to get more seeds than Cyno not to mention her grouping. The Cyno team does have the advantage in tank since Beidou and XQ give you like 70%+ damage reduction.

What does crit rate do on the hyperbloom team? Is it because burst/skills can still crit?

All four characters deal crit-capable damage, the hyperbloom is just sort of a bonus and happens to be triggered by the character who naturally wants a good amount of EM

On the bright side, all that running around made me discover my new favourite team for overworld mobility: Mona + Sayu + any other anemo. Mona can just sprint forever in between spin dashes. Your only weakness is slightly bumpy terrain. The wiki says alternate sprints aren't affected by stamina discounts, but I conducted an informal test, and it seems like the stamina buff from anemo resonance might still apply, on top of the movement speed one. I admit my measurements weren't very precise.

It might be you just have completed enough of the content or didn't impulse accept every quest/unlock character stories to burn keys without planning on doing the quests. For the Monstad event I had a chain of 3 or 4 "Sorry an NPC you need is busy on another quest" that had me chain hop to 2-3 steps of a different story quests. Thankfully most of the lockout tends to just be "you need to go to this tavern/office/whatever and trigger a dialog" and not a matter of having to fully complete quest chains.

Stare-Out posted:The Windrise tree. It's funny, I was thinking about that clue like "Okay, it's talking about Vanessa, but what is their symbol?" Then I stumbled on it while doing the story quest and remembered"oh, doy, Jean came to the tree when she was contemplating Vanessa in her story quest." That was a fun little event. Is the version just not going to have an active flagship for the second half of the patch? My only experience is with the last two patches, and their flagships lasted the whole way through.

Yeah - full-patch events are fairly rare (there have been maybe five or so), normally it's there's an early bigger event then smaller ones through the second half. In this patch's case it's a Hyakunin Ikki rerun and something called Star-Seeker's Sojourn.
