Meaning, there's nothing going on melodically or rhythmically that you could listen for as cues when to tap the note....you have to just use your eyes and watch when the circle hits the bottom line? I had to change the calibration by a stupid amount in order for the notes to line up properly

Good news! The Xbox Gamepad, other than a funky RB button so the shortcut radial menu doesn't want to open consistently, otherwise seems to not have input issues! The bad news is I'm so much slower that I wouldn't be able to tell!  Like, there's almost certainly a lot of content I've completed thus far I've only been able to complete because KB&M is that much faster for me.  Like. its such a difference and with how difficult or unfair some content is, how did anyone using the gamepad exclusively ever beat this game?

So how is the story in the game going? Last I left off was post-Sumeru but pre-Dainsleif. I hear Fontaine is pretty good? Anything revolutionary and revealing in the story or is it just more of the same but good quality? No big shakeups of the status quo?

By only using bows begrudgingly to solve a puzzle. You eventually get used to the way they order units on the d-pad, and the map zoom being backwards this one's a lie. e: ⇧⇧⇧ You get to go to jail, so there's that. Also they actually make use of all the water, which is nice enough.

i've played exclusively with controller on Playstation with no real issue. It's not like the game's a competitive FPS that requires super precise and fast aiming.

I've played solely on controller as well and never had any problems. KB/M has (had?) some advantages specifically regarding bow characters and some quirks in aiming speed and more specifically in aim canceling normal attacks but that's mostly for silly challenge run stuff. Now, phone controls on the other hand...

Ganyu would be horrible with a controller except you get two full seconds to line up every shot. I remember a couple of old very time-critical bow challenges back in the day where I pretty much had to switch to a mouse, but the only time I switch these days is once a patch when I wind up doing the card game to max out the short battle pass week. The only persistent controller annoyances are their insistence on No Dpads Allowed menu selection and the terrible flick-to-select radial menu design.

Maybe I just don't get gyro aiming, but even with it, I'm still not likely to hit a ruin robot in the eye. It's not terrible for making a very tiny adjustment, but having it on mostly means the camera moves in unexpected ways in random minigames, or I suddenly learn that I can aim a skill because i held the button a bit longer and now there's a cursor moving around. Aiming on controller's fine if you don't particularly care about hitting weak points on big things, like if you're using tighnari or lyney, though.

The radial isn't too terrible, but stuff like "L1+○" to use your gadget is annoying, since you can't just hold L1 and press ○ repeatedly. Thankfully you can use the sprint button to jump to another zipline point while you're in the air, otherwise you'd be in hell mashing L1+□ over and over. The d-pad thing is especially awful, since you can use it for dialogue choices and only that. Surely they could've used some other button for their various filters and submenus… Unrelated to all of that, I've just noticed that all of these "humming" NPCs have their mouths open while doing so. Weird. Also: Mihoyo, listing devices where the game will look shittier as of ver. 5.0: posted:iOS

I think the big issue with the rhythm event is that it's 6 notes, most other rhythm games do 5 on expert, it's just way too much visual noise coming at you.

Now that the second set of banners is known, I can keep burning daily pulls trying to C3 Arl while building pity, then save during the second half, yay. The Character banners are pretty good and I would be pulling for the 4*s on them if I didn't already have all three at C6. In terms of 5* characters: - Baizhu is a very strong healer with full-team healing on his skill instead of just locked to his burst, which is nice for overworld teams, and has okay dendro app + reaction steroid plus weak shields in his burst. - Wanderer is a fun active/dynamic hypercarry to play, if you like hypercarries, and has good overworld movement utility. Insert helicopter meme here. In terms of 4* characters: - Faruzan is to Wanderer what Sara is to Raiden, and works for Xiao or any other anemo you want to run onfield (heizou? dps sucrose? c6 lynette/kazuha?). Stack those cons! She's only really usable without 9001% ER at C6. - Layla is the second strongest shielder in the game behind Zhong, with permanent uptime, and applies slow but consistent cryo over the duration which works great with Wanderer (infuse cryo for free crit) and has a minor attack steroid at C4. - Beidou is Beidou - no other character has stronger multi-target electro application. Weapon banner is lolskip as always. Wanderer's bell is quite nice on him, but not worth risking the healer catalyst.

Monday(lol) beta changes are here: Clorinde: No  However, in the time between the last update and now, I learned that apparently the Thundering Fury set DOES work with her. How wonderful! Clorinde's uptime has always been pretty similar to Hu Tao, who I've come to enjoy playing even less after trying Arle. Even tho she still won't have Arle's rotational freedom, it's definitively a step in the right direction (Hu Tao could do this too but it staples her to Fischl, and also she obviously gets less benefit from the set than an electro character would). Whatever amount of power she loses will definitively be worth it (for me)(also she might be stronger actually, I don't know) The news is making me consider giving up on the 4.6 domain and just running Arle on gladiators forever tbh. Wasting so much resin on a marginal upgrade for a single character feels pretty bad :/ Sigewinne: Quill damage boost increased. Even tho this is unquestionably a buff, I think they're running into a dead end here. The boost is not strong enough to make her a good general skill-damage support, but if they increase the boost any more then it will benefit teams with her current BiS partner (Furina) too much. To the point that it'll probably staple her to Furina forever.  There are ways around this, such as having her give each party member their own individual quills (like Shenhe) but then you run into the problem where you have an off-field unit focused on buffing off-field units. Honestly, I don't like the design. If they wanted her to be a skill-damage support they needed to either have her be a self-sufficient onfield driver or have her quills apply to onfielders too. But I don't really have any hope that they'll actually try to broaden character roles in this way. Their new game mode is pretty much telling everyone "just pull for everyone lol" after all Sethos: EM scaling on his elemental burst increased. Good for him I guess, I think I'm pretty much over burst transformation characters forever and his non-hyperbloom pure charge attack playstyle seems pretty weak to me (numerically). Oh well! New banner order: 1st: Clorinde/Alhaitham 2nd: Sigewinne/Furina All my nightmares are coming true. Clorinde and Alhaitham are the only characters left that I actively want and looking at the absolute state of my primo stash I MAY be able to guarantee ONE (1) of them. Time to win 2 early 50/50s in a row I guess  Clorinde/Alhaitham would have been a good weapons banner if I had spare primos, sad. The Winnie weapons banner is terrible and will be terrible forever because her being in it is what makes it terrible, sad.

So I'm having a weird problem where this website is an hour behind and I don't know how to fix it, does anyone have any potential fixes? https://genshin.seekr.pw/home Augus posted:started playing this game again and lucked out getting arlecchino. she is the perfect character for me because she can just button mash to delete things without thinking too hard. also she’s cool. I think Sumeru was at the point where the money hit and they were able to start expanding on things, since the lack of armies clashing in the storyline of Inazuma was very obvious in how absent and integral it felt.

Oh wait a sec, looks like some more stuff coming in. Looks like Sigewinne's bubble bounce application has been increased to effectively no ICD...? That's pretty decent tbh. A big win for Sigeheads (<-group of people that exists) But unfortunately for the Sigeheads, running sone quick numbers showns that her quills might be harder to stack than I thought :/ Assuming you want to run Fav + Tenacity, you can't do it :| Assuming you give up and run the 3 star recurve bow with 2Hp/2Hp... you still can't really do it :| I think it'd probably be best to settle for Fav + ToM. It'll leave you at 50k Hp (with ok HP rolls and hydro resonance) and help you put Furina on a dps weapon while providing general support to the rest of the team. But if you don't want to waste time trying for ToM artifacts with crit rate substats, the three star recurve bow will leave you at ~57k, which is decent. You need to run 2Hp/2Hp with some pretty gross Hp% rolls on the flower and feather to make it to 65k. Oh I guess flat hp could help a little... but not too much. Best just take what you can get IMO. It's not actually that important in any teams.

Nerf is a strong word. It's that you have to wait 1.5 seconds between Es for particle generation to happen again instead of .5 seconds as it is now. In normal gameplay it's impossible to actually demonstrate the existence of this change because even her Q animation to reset her E cooldown is > 1.5 seconds.

There isn't, unfortunately. Probably a hardware limitation of their worst supported phones, you can't even swap characters from the full menu without a loading screen. This gets especially annoying in Sumeru where they nonetheless expect you have to have all seven elements on tap for puzzles, but fortunately Fontaine seems to have fixed this and consists (almost) entirely of non-elemental puzzles, with a few rare exceptions that are mostly Hydro (appropriately for the hydro nation).

Best you can do there is add the party menu to the quick-action wheel. I have party on top, guide on right, clock on bottom and I think events or shop on left? Regardless, it's just a quick hold-down of Tab and a flick up with the mouse to bring up the parties interface and switch to whatever I need for a given domain or boss. There's no one-button solution I'm aware of.

I suspect that inactive characters don't "exist" until you open the party screen, which is why there's always a loading time and oddities like Statues of the Seven only healing the active party.
