How did I get here?

Well we did have a decided lack of hats so far so they are just balancing things out.

Username/post etc. etc.

When are we getting a hat gacha for fun hats to use on hatless character?

Nahida should be able to wear scaramouche's hat imo. She's earned it

The leaks we've gotten lately are quite insane, like I worry about the future of leaks in general from how Mihoyo will react to them given what's getting out.

considering how they've reacted to previous leaks, the only way to get more extreme would be to murder the leakers

These hat girls are neat but they're almost a year away lol

The only thing I need right now, is Dehya's kit! I've been farming gilded all this time and keeping all but the dregiest of dregs, which all go into the crimson witch strongbox. I need something more concrete, before my Hu Tao and Diluc become the strongest benchwarmers of all time.

Theres a Teyvat Chapter concept trailer out there with the Fontaine leitmotif in it and the vibe I get off of all of it and still is something like Mario Odyssey cap kingdom film noir mystery extraordinaire basically. Like all the leitmotifs for the region were already decided some time in mid 2020 at the latest basically

all of the hats better inexplicably have working gears on them

I want Fontaine to just be absurdly steampunk (I would prefer dieselpunk, but that's too dark and grimy for Genshin)

Unfortunately, fontaine will be people trying to create things you'd find in a sci-fi magazine from the 1930's out of slimes and gears, because alice left one in a cafe in fontaine 120 years ago. As far as anyone (not a god of some sort) knows, this is just what fontaine has always been.

On the plus side, I'm looking forward to the one-off bossfight between our [temporary] submarine and a giant squid.

Speaking of early region concepts, didn't early lore teases of Sumeru suggest there would be a lot of snake theming going on? Did they just drop that idea, or are they just going to drop that whole load in the second desert area?

Or maybe they just got all snaked out with Orobashi.

So Genshin advertises that new players get 20 free wishes, which I remember happening when I started playing in January. When my wife recently started, there was a mail with 10 free wishes but where do the other 10 come from?

I happened to have 10 of the basic wish orbs and managed to pull Layla.

Don't know if she's any good but she's teaming up with Sayu in the "Just Take A loving Nap Already" club.

Ah. Okay. I’ll see if that’s the case.

On her first 10 pull on the newbie banner, she snagged Noelle and Ningguang.

There's probably enough free gems in the early content to make up 20 wishes

Once she hits AR 10, she should get a mail from the 10 million pre-registration event way back in the day with 10x standard wishes. That might be what they're talking about.

The game gives you enough to unlock Noelle for free but after that you're kinda on your own.

I got in pretty early on the game and they were handing out primogems constantly because of patches and bug fixes but I can't remember much beyond that. They give you a couple for maintenance and the servers being down in that time but that's all I can recall.

I’m guessing that’s it. When I started playing, I blitzed my way through the first 20 AR, so it was all a blur to me.

Welp, so it looks like the primary defining characteristic of fontaine characters is having stupid hats so I guess Im going to have to stop pulling till they start showing up in banners.

She's quite strong. She's as close to a universal power source as you can get for plugging into a group to provide energy and some people say she's the single best character to pull on a banner for in the whole game. How far that goes, I'm not entirely sure, but getting her has certainly changed my play style up.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
I used Kuki last abyss and the only thing I changed was Raiden with Gilded in place of her.

Despite Kuki having an easier time picking up the bloom seeds from hitting the great wolf, I cleared it way faster with raiden because the extra E damage still hits the wolf more when I attack water with Kokomi.

The only downside to Raiden is that there's no artifact switch so I can't switch between her ER set and EM set, hence why I got lazy and used kuki instead last rotation.

Sometimes I put a set intended for one character all onto another character that I don't use for storage to allow easier switching

Everyone gets a mediocre set and hopefully I remember to fix it if I steal them from someone else (poor sucrose probably still hasn't been fixed after I scavanged most of her stuff for kazuha).

I don't shuffle weapons about unless I get something good for someone I like/use, in which case someone else gets to be my designated flute-holder.



Also raiden is great because battery and also putting electricity on what you're hitting. Which, admittedly, is only really super-useful for your physical (and especially cryo physical) guys, because that's half of superconduct you don't need to sort out circles for or hope oz hits the right guy or whatever.

It does mean barbara can (somewhat slowly) kill hydro slimes though, so there's that.

I have still never figured out how to read her circle/stacks thing, though. But I also rarely use her burst, because it seems even more wasteful than usual. Sure looks neat, though. She's got different sword-sheathing animations for different parts of her NA combo!
