I'd be happy with it still taking time to "load" as long as it was one click or a radial menu to select -> Load -> Swap in like 1-2 clicks.

You can press L to directly open the party screen. Make sure you're completely still when doing so though, any movement or action will cancel the loading.

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.

You can theoretically heal them by talking to the statue (lol) (this has never seemed to actually work for me, but the option's there)

L1+direction, l1 or r1, square, circle. EZ :v:

Still takes a dog's age to adequately load the characters in your new team on a ps4, though. And obviously it's only that simple if the party you want is adjacent to the party you've got set; and that becomes less likely once you've actually used all 9 party slots or however many there are now. Honestly, it's faster to just swap a single person in your party when you need someone to light a torch or whatever.

fe: Also I think you have to go into the options menu, but the default radial wheel only has like 4 slots? There's an option to give it 8, you'll probably want that on, if you've not done it already.

Yeah I didn't think about the radial menu on PC before, I adjusted it to the 4 direction one (can't seem to leave entries blank?) as I don't need quick axis to most of the options, I'll try it out!

As an aside, the gently caress, apparently when a enemy is knocked down Collei's boomerang can miss and pass right over them :catstare:

Both Collei and DMC's skills an just miss like that and it is extremely frustrating. Like neither is exceptionally powerful but they gave them this very narrow aoe to further poo poo on them.

Noticed I needed constellations for pyronado and decided to throw some wishes at the banner since I was only five pity past getting Arle and couldn't really gently caress anything up. Went from c3 xiang and c0 arle to c6 and c1 after 30 pulls. The last ten pull was xiang/xiang/arle.

I'm not spending a dime until they rerun furina since there's no way I don't lose the 50/50 after that kind of luck.

Dangit, 13 hours left and 80ish pulls in and no Knave. I don't need to spend money on her, I tell myself, I've got C1 Hu Tao with a Staff of Homa, I can't justify it. Dammit. Nope. Not doing it. I bought the Welkin, that's the limit of it - this far and no further.

I'll be waiting to pull on her as well, for one because she's basically like Weiss from RWBY; and I won't stop until I recreate Team RWBY in Genshin.

I think that'd basically be Lumine (Ruby), Furina (Weiss), Navia? (Yang, or at least the meme online version of Navia feels like Yang), Keqing (Blake).

The weird thing is that DMC's skill is actually has a significantly larger cone than the animation suggests... except that as far as I can tell its hitbox is just a 2D plane at waist height so even minor elevation differences makes it whiff. It's such a bizarre design that I can only assume it was an intentional functionality nerf to keep DMC from being too good or something. :psyduck:

My guess as a game dev myself is it was placeholder implementation that never got iterated on.

I found Collei solid, but I never encountered any issues with getting the boomerang to hit enemies so if you don’t get on with the boomerang might be a pain. And C6 just gives you a bunch more dendro regardless!

Just got wanderer! Wanted him when he first appeared but lost that 50/50. Now I can fly around pretending to be a DBZ character.

The boomerang missing mostly happens when you're fighting anything that can raise its height like flying enemies or the floating fungi.

Wanderer has a very fun active playstyle, but if you wanna do big damage numbers be aware he needs a LOT of investment. Great for zoomzoom in the overworld regardless though - in which case I recommend having a character that can apply hydro to the party to boost his flying stamina.

Agreed on wanderer. The good news is he loves lots of different weapons. the bad news is you really want his set.

Stare-Out

Wanderer's artifact domain isn't too bad though, fortunately. I think he's the only character so far who even uses that set. I'd recommend pulling for him just for the exploration utility because his skill is fantastic for getting around. If you have Faruzan, especially at C6 then he becomes a very solid character to have because Faruzan buffs him like crazy and double Anemo in an overworld team is always great to have.

I've been seeing it happen a lot with the Treasure Hoarders, they get knocked/blown away when I use Keqing on them after setting up the Bloom; so when I switch back to Collei to reapply Bloom that's when I notice it missing a lot.

Yeah, I've been meaning to pull her for a while now, but it always seems like she's running with a character I want more than her.

If she's gonna run with an archon then going by the pattern it'll have to be Venti since he's the only archon I'm missing right now

She's probably due to be on an inazuma chronicled wish in the not super far future. I think the whole 2.X cast (besides shenhe? who's liyue anyways) has run 3x at this point.

Supposedly the other thing in that domain's slightly better for shinobu than gilded dreams or whatever, so there's that at least.

I have a lot of FoPL and don't use it on kuki because the damage is so close and more EM further scales her healing while FoPL doesn't. Plus as mentioned she does do some aggravates (comp-depending). I have FoPL on Thoma and Kaveh due to doing the domain a lot for wanderer set.

So after hitting arle c1 by accident at 30 pity I decided to throw some pulls at baizhu's banner since I didnt have two of the four stars at all. After the first ten pull I now have baizhu and layla. I was at four pity at the time. I'm almost afraid to keep pulling at this point, lest I end up with c2 baizhu or something while trying to build pity for furina.

C2 Baizhu sounds pretty cool though. Your post reminded me to log in and dump some rolls into trying to get a C2 Baizhu and I got 3 copies of him within like 70 pulls, with a 15-pull refund from all of the extra Beidous.

Earlier I was torn between him and Clorinde to make my aggravate teams more fun and i settled on Baizhu since Yae/Keqing still feel pretty good as electro drivers while Yaoyao is infinitely less comfy/powerful than C2 Baizhu seems to be. Guess I don't need to choose between them anymore.

I'm not even sure what to do with him with the characters I have available. I stopped playing way back when Raiden was first released and just picked the game back up a month ago, which was an exceedingly good time since my best prior dps was Eula and now I have a Neuv and Arle that are just leaps and bounds better. I also had won my 50/50 on Raidens first banner, but I haven't gotten around to building her yet. I guess if I do she's probably the best of those three to pair with Baizhu?

Being weird and pulling just to buy Fates from the shop the smart move would be to wait till Clorinde but I'm at 320 rolls RN so it's fine IT'S FINE

Layla C3 Faruzan C6 (40) Layla C4 (50) Favonius Warbow(60) Faruzan C7 The Bell(70) Faruzan (80) Dehya C1 Beidou C15(90)

Well, lost the 50/50 but now I'm sitting on a guarantee. I won Arlecchino, Lyney, Lynette and Freminet off the last banner so I'm not complaining anyway.

Raiden, Neuv and Baizhu make for a pretty good team all together. Nahida provides much more dendro for hyperbloom of course, but he can work nicely as well if he's got enough ER to burst on cooldown.
