oof the log in event for the anniversary rolls starts 9/28, which should be right after baal's banner ends. not surprising but disappointing all the same. wasn't sure I'd get to soft pity before but I'm definitely not now

Mirello posted:this post is so bizarre to me: https://old.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/pednzz/im_done_spending_money_on_this/ I see that one constantly for various things to the point where it almost come across as some sort of copypasta and not particularly believable at face value. The whole I've been doing x with y for z amount of time and have been the most loyal steadfast supporter of it, but now because of n thing I have summarily decided to do a complete 180 on my feelings towards y and throw my support in the complete polar opposite direction (if possible) and/or not give any money to x anymore and just wanted everyone willing to read my posts to know all about it even though who rightly cares. I see it in political tactics too like the GOP's whole fake "walk away" campaign that was supposedly stories of countless lifelong voters leaving the Democratic party in droves because of some really flimsy reason that was a GOP talking point at the moment on Fox News and in the Trump White House. Anyway for me the character I probably want to see a rerun of the most and seems like it could happen cause she's pretty popular is Eula.

a lot of the design decisions in genshin make way more sense when you consider whats going on with chinese gaming laws, but that feels way more severe than they were expecting.Mirello posted:this post is so bizarre to me: https://old.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/pednzz/im_done_spending_money_on_this/ this person isn't wealthy enough to spend for c6 characters and not have it impact their life in some way, and this post and their justifications are them trying to justify things to themselves mentally. the post basically is taking the stance of "of course what i did made sense, but these lazy game developers..." etc. a lot of the responses aren't even people in the same situation, they're basically talking past the op to air their own grievances. the most upvoted post when i looked at this was a complaint about the league of legends balance team ffs, cant escape these people even in casual mobile game subreddits.

There's no rerun I'd be too crazy about, so I'm a little relieved Thoma's looking like the only new character for a while after I burn my stockpile on 2.1 Only one I missed who I wanted was Albedo, and I dunno if I'm too crazy about having him that I'd roll specifically for him. I'd trade Hu Tao for him any day though.

No Wave posted:No, they literally can't log in monday through thursday. I don't think Genshin can be playable in any realistic fashion for 3 hours per week and they'd have to design an express version of the game that lets you spend 120 resin at a time, a 1600 resin cap, no ingredient gathering required at all, once per week commissions instead of daily. I have basically no doubt they'll play daily anyway. Children gonna child and you cannot check mobile's IP for age. It will be more annoying, sure, but won't stop majority of users.

I actually live in china. I'm not sure about this, but according to my wife, the kids parents could just sign them up with their id, rendering the time limit obsolete. kinda like parents in america buying gta for their 8 year old. I could be wrong though, as I don't have a chinese child or ID lol. personally I think its good although if I was a kid I'd be really pissed off. it also only applies to online games afaik

i remember them talking about running facial recognition on phones to find kids trying to skirt the laws but i cant imagine that ever going anywhere meaningfully, probably way too easy to get a false positive in a dark room with a lovely phone selfie camera lol

also, I doubt many of the whales are children. if they really were a big demographic, they'd just release an offline only version of genshin. wouldn't be a big change at all. but I dont think kids / teens are the main demographic. I could be totally wrong.

I've always been of two minds on the subject of China's restrictions on gaming. On the one hand gacha game addiction and game addiction in general is a significantly more pervasive social, financial, and mental health problem in Asia than it is in North America to the point where some form of stricter regulation is probably needed all around, but on the other hand you know free will to do with your time what you want. As a kid I'd certainly be pissed off about it, as an adult I'd probably have mixed feelings about the government actually doing something to mitigate a legitimate kind of harmful social issue and the increasing predatory nature of gaming companies in exploiting people's attachment to things like anime characters and the need to stay up to date with current meta and content stuff, but on the other hand be resentful for a government telling me how to raise my child and what they are allowed to spend their time doing in my place. IMO the best solution would ultimately be to enforce tougher rules on companies like Tencent (the one that Xi specifically has the big hard on against atm) , Netease, YoStar or Mihoyo (China already has some way better rules in place than say Japan when it comes to gacha and GAAS titles though), not further tougher rules on the players themselves. From the sounds of it the new rules are targetting game platforms like WeGame (Tencent's version of Steam in China) and not so much individual independent games. No idea how much sway the CPC holds over PSN, Apple Store and Google Play in China, which is what runs Genshin Impact, but possibly not quite as much....maybe?....

Hazdoc posted:some damage to the cryo abyss mage's shield. The cryo abyss mage isn't invulnerable to cryo, just has high cryo resist, but kazuha's shred removes a large portion of it, allowing the burst to do a bit of damage to the shield. An actual reaction, particularly a Melt reaction, would have done much more damage, but his team doesn't have a good way outside of swirls to rip the shield off, so raw damage output is the alternative. I think the part I'm missing is that Chongyun's blades count as claymore attacks. I've heard that abyss mage shields function differently than other shields in the game. I'll have to experiment later.

I'll have to experiment later. Its not specifically "claymore" attacks, but "heavy" attacks. Other things that count as heavy attacks are, yes, claymore attacks, but also Geo attacks, plunging attacks, and Klee's normal/charge attacks. Anything that can induce a shatter reaction or do bonus damage to Geo shields is a "heavy" attack. The only thing Chongyun has that isn't a heavy attack is the bonus cryo damage at the end of his attack combo.

maybe they'll make the daily primo rewards stack up, so if you don't play for 4 days and then on the 5th day you would get the gems for all the days you missed. they've already implemented ways to gather materials while away (gardening, the expeditions) that they could expand on, and they definitely could raise the stamina cap and condensed resin cap to account for this.

Not all Geo attacks are heavy attacks but most of them are. Overloaded also counts as a heavy attack. I've been curious if there's a resource out there that tables out the relative values for each source of heavy damage and how much is needed to break things like crystal ores or geo hilichurl shields.

Reminder: hold off on doing your weekly bosses, reputation quests and bounties, etc. until the battle pass reopens later this week so you can get credit for them. Presumably other people ITT are like me and forget this before basically every relevant patch (but I remembered this time!).

Chernobyl Peace Prize posted:I want the person who designed the Azhdaha fight to buy me a c6 Zhongli or gently caress off forever That fight was literally designed to sell zhongli, It even came with his banner and his new story. Speaking of Azhdaha, today I was doing the coop boss achievements and matched with randoms to get his... This fight straight up does not work with 4 people. Some people bring shielders and do no damage while others have to bring damage and have no way to protect themselves and his hp is absurd, he felt much tankier than anything in the abyss even taking into account that I had more or less solo him with ZL shield shred as the only support. I ended up matched with a zhongli/noele/guitar girl and that was the most harrowing fight I had to do in the 10 month I've been playing this game. Bringing hu tao was a mistake but I was hoping noele would stay alive and keep me healthy, with the current elements I could only go for her, keqing or eula and she felt the right choice. Ohh well, I have no idea how long it took and how much food I used but its done, I'll never ever do this again.
