The phone number is still the same, but I'm not sure if I ever actually linked it to the account. I'll shoot a customer support email.

Logically it's not a big deal and I should probably just start over, I never got a single 5 star so that shows how little progress the account actually achieved. I'm most annoyed at myself for not being able to remember the email, it's so familiar but nothing is pulling up :sweatdrop:

if you still remember all the details within your account you might have a chance. dunno how mihoyo's support is like but many of the gacha games I know ask you a bunch of questions like what characters you have and what levels they are at, what weapons/skills they have, who is on your friends list, receipts if you bought premium currency, etc

I spent 5 dollars and bought an AR20 account with Tighnari+Ayato+Diluc+Keqing on it five months ago. Have been using it to skip dailies to force achievements. If I were starting an account now I'd consider it but if you don't care don't bother ofc.

So one of the leaks which would seem decently far out yet I wholeheartedly believe for one specific reason is that the main event in 4.3 will be some sort of dance party and the reason I believe this one is because the leaked character list for it so far is The usual suspects Cyno, Collei, Ayaka and Ayato, but no Eula or Nilou leaving the only character we've actually seen dance at all as Ayaka.

3.3 with the breakout game and Yokai he showed up at the very end since he was technically part of the planning commitee. I dont believe he was in the 3.7 TCG tournament in Inazuma but Ayaka was.

If anyone's starting a new account now wouldn't be the worst time to do it (Altho a few weeks back when the free Bennett was around would have been the peak). 20~ pulls for the standard beginner stuff and in a few weeks another ~20 free pulls for the anniversary so you're bound to get your first 5* in under a month as long as you're playing pretty regularly.

My sister just started last week and got an absolute steal of her first beginner 5* banner with Jean and XQ

That makes me feel a little better about starting over. I'm not against the idea of buying an account for cheating reasons, but a bunch of characters with minimal content completion is kind of the opposite of what I want. Ideally I could save my story/sidequest/pity progress (and this is more shamefully lizard brained but being able to get a specific character at will sort of defeats the point of gacha for me. It's kind of like letting the dog catch the car.)

Yeah if you start right now you can start pulling for Zhongli who's one of the absolute best shielders/supports in the game, next week there's Venti who has kinda been pushed out of vogue but is still really strong, then maybe 6 weeks from now there's another Archon coming out so there's lot of options to spend all those rolls on and it'll take months before you ever even catch up to the content that's rolling out right now.

plus I think next patch has two of the "must-have" 4*s on it too if you're willing to roll on a Venti or tall hydro guy (Those two being one of the best off-field electro characters and the best 4* hydro support and every single team comp you see online will prob have one of them)

If you've stopped welkins, I'd just save everything for Furina. I really consider welkins the minimal investment to keep playing. You really do get skimpy character picks without it.

I don't know, I kind of like being Free 2 Play now, it's like a pokemon Nuzlocke run and I have a lot more fun cycling out characters once they hit Friendship 10 and figuring out new groups to work with. Keeps the game kind of fresh and engaging when you don't have a Ganyu or Raiden helping you one-shot everything.

Once you e played long enough Welkin isn’t really needed since you just don’t need new characters anymore. The game isn’t hard, they have made it clear they will never make it hard, and if you have certain characters then all others are basically optional. That said, new characters means new gameplay and a game like this lives on novelty. But I think calling Welkin the minimum really depends on the person and isn’t a constant.

There's whales, sharks, and guppies in this game. The Whales are the people who want to flex and show how they can down all new content in 8 seconds or less. There's Dolphins who will spend a lot to just collect the characters they like, whether it be because of strength of vanity, then there's guppies who spend little to nothing on the game because they just enjoy swimming around.

I wanna be the guppy, I want to spend 20 hours collecting chests over two weeks because I think it's a fun game and I don't care about finishing every floor on the abyss, I just like the characters and settings enough to play 30 minutes to two hours a day. So what if it takes me over 10 minutes to beat the wolf boss

Oh, no you were right. Next week is Water Man + Hu Tao, after that is Ice Man + Venti. But the first half does have the good 4* characters on it

The Neuvillette banner seems insanely good for a new account. Good 4* in general, with two you absolutely want constellations on, and as a self-sufficient hydro unit he should have a lot of value when your account is otherwise only rocking Barbara.

Venti is now the only Archon I don't have, and tbh I'm pretty okay with it. I can't see myself replacing Sucrose or Kazuha with him

Yeah, if you have Kazuha and Sucrose (which I do as well), he's easily the most skippable archon, I just want to have the complete set, I guess.

I like the buddy gods better than the rear end in a top hat diplomats, I suppose.

I like combining Venti and Kazuha in events that are just about killing hordes of lovely respawning dudes but I use Kazuha way more otherwise. Also Nilou can kind of just do that job now too.

The problem with Venti is that he either completely trivializes content or he just doesn't work at all with almost no middle-ground whatsoever. When he works, he's unbelievably busted. And it doesn't help that an example of content he doesn't work at all in is all bosses.

Finished Neuvi monster prefarming, surprisingly only took a few days. Can't remember the last time I bothered with this for a character, and it's even with the kind of annoying water combat where I have to massacre cute things. Hopefully they added enough specialty items that he can be maxed after only waiting for one 2-day cycle.

Chucked 10 into the standard banner just because I have a couple dozen standard wishes gathering dust and got Dori C4.

+50% incoming to characters under 50% health and +30% energy recharge to characters under 50% burst is a pretty awesome buff.

Still no clue how to setup a team with Dori unfortunately. Taking suggestions.

unfortunately if you want dori to do damage you really need her c6. if she's c6 you can run her as a jank keqing that provides her own healing/energy regen, and shes actually pretty okay.

outside of that her best role is probably on spread alhaitham teams. think something like alhaitham/dori/nahida/lisa or fischl or beidou.

Why would you read 4.2 plot spoilers, and get self-owned about a story thats not releasing for 2 months. When you could instead be following everybudy's favorite new piece of serialized media: Furina's kit, Part __

hmmm, so she gives percentile buffs to somebody's something based on stacks based on healing or maybe dying, very epic. also she kills you a lot or maybe a little. there might be a crab (big fan! 👍)

I was also not expecting things to tie back to all the information we learned in the quest with that rear end in a top hat diver. These sidequests rule.

I'm probably going to complete the 4.0 msq just to be caught up for 4.1, since I'm in a quest completing mood

On a tear towards the Sumeru/Fontaine border now finishing out the exploration and collecting desert mats along the way. Made it back to Hypostyle desert already. Its all coming together cause I can collect the remaining mats I need for the Sumeru characters I need along the way while getting incidental exploration done. Just gonna use a guide for the remaining Dendroculus probably as its gonna take forever if I try to collect mats for detectors.
