I will never log offshut up.


Yeah more drops and world mobs that might punch back would be awesome.

However the worst part is usually talent domains, at least for me. The rate of book drops is suffering.

Its so boring I agree. I had to do al haitham xiao and hu tao this patch (9/10/9, 10/9/9, 10/9/9) and it's legitimately more than a week of resin per character just for talent books. I enjoy artifacts btw they're actually fun this is just a tax.

Fight weekly bosses, look for Inazuma and Sumeru Sigils to turn in for them as rewards. You said you went back and did Dragonspine so I assume you've got all of those billets from the tree now.

Ah no, I’m only like 1/2 way done with that loving thing. Tried going back using the interactive map but it’s a pain in the rear end.

I’ll just do that because I want the drat glider anyway.

Also; thanks everyone for mentioning the bosses. I’ve been ignoring those for a few months now. Im AR50 because I’m too lazy to ascend and I was trying to grind boss mats quicker but I heard it gets harder the higher your AR is to get the billets to drop so another reason I stopped.

Wow that takes me back. I dont remember if the billet acquisition thing was ever really confirmed. There was some data that suggested it but the sample sizes werent huge and it may have been a patch-to-patch thing rather than a strictly AR related thing even if the association existed.

The grind remains awful and the only thing that gives me pause in trying to roll for Dehya when she's out is the idea of leveling her at all, honestly

Anyway, finally did those desert quests, when do I get to roll for Jeht

You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
grinding out resources and upgrades for one character is about the amount of Genshin i'm looking for at one time, it's a decent-sized project (if you must have RPG stats and gearing and F2P economy at all; most games with them would be better without)

the problem is occasionally the game asks you to make entirely distinct teams with no overlap, and that takes way too loving long to pay off in terms of something actually playable

Weekly bosses. Billets are actually the most limited resource in the game in that they are all RNG from bosses, given as main game exploration/quest rewards, or given away during the summer island event, which we've had twice so far.

You can also stop logging in for a while and as part of the welcome back event it will give you a billet trove!

Probably not the answer anyone’s looking for though

Hell, I'd take WL9 if it meant more handguard/mushroom/spectre grey drops

Seriously, I'd love an overall World Level/level cap increase just for that alone. Especially for gems. That always seems to be the biggest hurdle I have to get over with bringing a character up.

Does anyone think we're gonna get such an increase with Fontaine?

By difficulty or annoyance? Green chicken is the best one and it's so well animated. Geo wolf, green snake, and oceanid are the worst ones.

Basically you'll get different answers depending peoples' account level. Early on the primo geovishap was formidable because he's such a damage sponge, but eventually all the damage sponge bosses die in 20 seconds anyways and I fight him willingly all the time just to see how my comps are doing. Hypostases have much less HP but their mechanics take time no matter how strong your characters are. I chose the bottom 3 because the green snake is super irritating even if you kill him fast, oceanid is multi-phase and you listen to rhodeia's speech over and over, and wolflord's gimmick just isn't very fun.

Boss tier list:

S Tier: Anything without invincible/untargetable phases
F Tier: Anything with invincible/untargetable phases

Being able to finish Signora before her timewaster phase and Raiden before her damage reduction phase is of paramount importance to my teambuilding now.

I found green snake (the new one right?) to be really trivial with Keqing FischlC6 aggravate. Drop him to 50% on his entrance, he goes immediately to air balls phase where 2 arrows from FischlC6 stuns, then cleanup.

Though really its probably FischlC6 that's carrying

Nahida/Raiden makes Oceanid much easier to deal with. Well, unless you get bad RNG and have to deal with a shitload of crabs.

It's incredible how they managed to make the overworld bosses fine at worst in sumeru, and then also decided to have that overcomplicated time waster robot bullshit.

lol I was really confused for a second what part of geo cube had to do with yaoyao. But yeah the shield phase for scara basically having a mandatory minimum time as a puzzle boss is annoying.

e: also a boss of that size should not teleport as much as he does. the number of times i missed the dendro beam thing the first handful of times i fought him because he teleported out of the way

Ah, yes I definitely meant dendro cube. whoops.

I just hate how he will inevitably do his stupid 'no you are dead now' attack immediately after I shoot him. Also how janky the drat controls are for doing that.

If geo cat girl is 4* you know she’s already going to join “TeH M3ta” since Dehya is apparently/unfortunately useless. 4* have been almost always on point for fitting into someone’s team with the exception of Dori and Heizou.

Rofl. Decided that gently caress it, I'd try the weapon banner.

Got Staff of Homa at 8 wishes. Why is this where I get some good luck?

This game really wants me to play Xiao it seems.

Or I could put it on Xiangling... though I just farmed The Catch yesterday. :negative:

at a guess because there's an achievement for hunting down the whopperflower afterward and they don't want it to become unattainable

i'm sure there are other ways they could accomplish this (like just having it stick around indefinitely) but it's all i can think of

Because they've just now gotten around to writing an ending, I assume.

At least I assume it'll go away now that they've managed. I think commissions work like that when they have storylines, like the thing with the nun.
