I'm ten away from hard pity and that's almost tempting but there's also second-dash Yelan, Zhongli, and a hydro archon coming out Totally random gripe but lol why is the treasure compass in Inazuma locked so far down in reputation? The furthest away from 100% is 90% exploration and I'm still quite a ways away from the nesseccary requirement to unlock it and it really didn't help that so many Inazuma world quests are locked behind completing daily commissions multiple times, I'll end up getting all the chest achievements and really close to all Sakura Tree levels before I ever get the compass

Okay so since people are mentioning the treasure compasses I have to say that I never used them for most of the time I was playing Genshin and I tried a few days ago to try and find some missing treasure chests in Sumeru and it really doesn't help enough. 4 second cool down and it doesn't give you clear enough directions to find anything with how small the AOE is.

RareAcumen posted:Since I only interact with Genshin via this thread/the game/ and the discord server, this is the first I've heard of anyone thinking the elements are going to get reworked. and hydro resonance got buffed around the time of yelan's release but theres never been a major mechanical level rework to an element so idk why people thought there ever would be

It's a strange hangup for them to have, should just rework all the treasure compasses to work like the one from Secret Summer Paradise and give them to you at Rep. lvl 3 or something. It's only like the most casual of players that are ignoring oculus and chests anyway

it sucks how the weapon system is locked to the five generic templates i'd prefer a switch to how starrail does it but theres no way they'll change it at this point

Mordiceius posted:So he's Pyro Ganyu? Sort of, just way more involved. Every double-charged charged shot spawns one of the cat-in-the-hats that occasionally taunts an enemy and gives Lyney a stack but also drains his health. Without active healing you can only get like three stacks because his health won't go below 60% from the charged shots. His burst does damage, blows up any cats-in-the-hat on the field and grants him another stack. His skill heals him and deals damage based on the stacks he has. So typical rotation is CAx2, Burst which gives him three stacks, then Skill to blow the stacks, nuke and heal up. With Bennett, who he really needs to be teamed up with, you can get up to four stacks with CA, then Burst to get the fifth stack and then Skill. I have no constellations but at level 90, 8/8/8 with a level 90 R1 signature weapon and the new artifact set I've had a 5 stack Skill hit for over 230k unbuffed in a mono-pyro team of Zhongli/Bennett/Lyney/Xiangling. Ganyu can do more damage because she's broken in melt teams but I think Lyney is way more fun. Stare-Out fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Aug 29, 2023 |

Endorph posted:anemo and geo received slight reworks early on (before 2.0) but they were just numbers tweaks Yeah I remember there being a thing for Anemo about it taking advantage of EM more directly or something when Kazuha got added? Minor things along that nature. Expecting A: New elements every patch and B: Complete overhaul on how all of them work, is news to me and I don't know where that one came from. It kinda reminds me of the rumor/fan theory about Space and/or Sound being added as another Pokemon type. Like maybe I'm out of the loop but I don't see how that would 'fix' the gameplay, you'd just have more type advantages and resistances and it'd still play the same.

Lyney's QE->E is just insane damage. It doesnt even make sense to me where it's all coming from you'll just see half of a boss's health bar disappear. The CA part still kinda sucks/is a chore but the burst skill part is just sweet. Unfortunately he's total crap in this abyss, like cannot beat it because mono pyro can't beat pyro lector and cant beat the upside down dorito in under 2 minutes unless it's whaled. I dont think it'll be a reliable team but it's fun to make his comp hit damage thresholds where it can one-cycle gem bosses.

The CA part still kinda sucks/is a chore but the burst skill part is just sweet. It doesn't make it easy to spot damage numbers when you have all those orange numbers popping up from a mono-pyro team already so the 230k is just the biggest I've noticed, but I'm sure it's not the biggest so far. And yeah like I've been doing the Dirge fight for leveling up Lynette and hitting Lyney's Burst and then Skill just wipes out an absolutely massive chunk of the health bar when it doesn't just flat-out end the whole fight. Like I'm sure a hyperbloom team can do it just as well and maybe even more comfortably but there's something about finishing a fight with Lyney's Skill, having him do his flair and heal up fully just as an enemy goes down. It's sweet.

So is it really the case that Neuvillette's water laser thing is his charge attack? Because that's going to suck rear end on controllers where you have to hold down a face button because the right stick is then inaccessible unless you do some dumb finger acrobatics.

lynette's not a robot or thinks shes a robot, she basically depersoned herself cause of traumatic stuff in her childhoodquote:Before Lyney and I came to our new home, we were constantly adrift on the streets. We experienced many hardships and dangerous situations... It was then that I developed the habit of paying attention to any sign of danger, and also gradually learned to understand what others were thinking. Fortunately, we now have a safe place to live. quote:

Tree Reformat posted:she's a 4*, so we will at long last be able to properly date a fatuus The Fatui seem to be a huge organization where branches aren't really worried about the business of the others. Arlecchino's gang wants the Hydro gnosis but also to save Fontaine from drowning, which is not really relevant to the Mondstadt delegation holed up in the Goth hotel, or the Chasm strike force in Liyue. Plus, while the Traveler did defeat Signora in Inazuma, there's an argument to be made that they helped deliver the Geo gnosis to her in Liyue, so they're more of a wild card from their POV than a straight enemy. Feelings aren't mutual.

Tree Reformat posted:she's a 4*, so we will at long last be able to properly date a fatuus I'm pretty sure their notices just say 'look out for this blonde dipshit with weird floating thing.' It just seems that the faceless, nameless mooks seem to interpret this as "definitely try and kill them, it'll work out great." Harbringers seem to take it as "definitely manipulate them into doing what you want, it'll work out great and not ultimately bite you in the rear end," and the few other dudes who got names seem to have had the sense to not pick a fight.

That would be better but still not great. I don't get why they wouldn't use the left trigger for it since it does nothing for characters who aren't using a bow. It's right there, use it for something.

It's right there, use it for something. Probably because they want the control scheme to be as simple and consistent as possible. Even if this does dumb things like make the shoot button when aiming the skill button, rather than r2 (which annoys the hell out of me, because I swapped skill and dash). They even added a whole huge section for gyro controls, they absolutely could give you more customization for control schemes. They just won't. Come to think of it, for the water controls it'd normally be l2 for poke and r2 for your absorbed skill, wouldn't it? Presumably they're fine with using l2 there because a) it's aimable anyway and b) it's underwater, since that's a different context the control scheme can be different. I wonder if you can hold/use your regular attack button underwater too? As it is l2 underwater just works exactly like ○ aboveground.

Wow Collei is even in Faruzan' hangout too. They definitely didn't use Diluc, Ninguang or Ayaka this much going by characters that were in the Teyvat Chapter preview, but certainly got their featured characters quota out of Cyno and Collei.
