that ending to 1.1 was certainly worth a chuckle.
Zhongli just upending the entire rule of his nation-state, destroying the fed, handing all his power to the bad guys, then loving off.

"Nooooooo!!! You can't just abandon 3700 years of contracts to go off adventuring!!"

Gotta say I appreciate this event pulling me to spots I wouldn't normally traverse, or approach them from odd angles I don't normally see. Even after all these hours ran across an ice covered chest and I legit can't remember running into one like that before.

Probably worth noting that a lot of these are from the character archive page, which shows everyone. The darker/duller ones aren't in the roster.

Yeah, looking at the rosters posted, most of them seem to fall in the boundaries of where I'd expect to see people at depending on rerolls and/or money spent. Obviously a small amount of outlying, but hey 0.6% isn't zero and obviously people will be at different spots in their pity timers.

Overall, the English localization comes off pretty bad. They use the weirdest word choices; the English localization team, if a team at all, does not seem well-verse in English idioms, diction, and connotation.

yeah, i thought things were janky at first, and then the major mistranslation of childe's lines really just put it into wtf are they doing territory.

i was curious about his female disguise from the past but i guess Hu Tao will fit the bill if she's the datamined character model i'm thinking of. their aesthetics seem to be similar by virtue of working together at the funeral parlor.

I'm surprised by how hard they made the meteors. I'm AR45 and Tartaglia+Fischl are two of my leveled characters so it should be easy as hell but some of these are still messed up on mobile (hydrogunner+lightning guy specifically).

I think a lot of the annoyance would be fixed if they showed what enemies would spawn before the fight started because fatui demand hard counters.

The top level fatui heavy spawns are definitely my hardest fights too with having to fight in the tiny circle + the mixed comps due to no hard idea what will spawn.. Cryo + lightning gets pretty rough and poor Xiangling has to put in a lot of work as my only decent fire character.

Out of curiosity what chapter of the adventurer log are people on? I've been walled at chapter 7 for ages because I'm either too busy or too tired to farm and it wants me to get 8 artifacts to level 16 and ascend a character to level 80 cap.

Also I just realized today that the only 4* character I'm missing at this point is Chongyun. And Xinyan when she comes out. I'm too fanatical about collecting characters. :shepface:

hit 45 this week and have been stalled at chapter 8 for most of 40+

just haven't had the ambition to farm mats for the last weapon to 70, and 1 to phase 5

Scaramouche didn't say everything is fake, though. He said the sky and the stars were fake. I think that's an important distinction, and makes me more inclined to think something like Teyvat is a colony ship (the Ark), than the "it's all a simulation" thing.

yeah, i don't buy the simulation theory either. you can have a ship/planet/colony thing still controlled by all powerful, not so benign, "celestial" beings we eventually have to topple and it would fit just fine in the story. i mean, the final chapter of the storyline preview straight up calls out "we will defy this world with a power from beyond!"

So I started (very) late and only just now hit AR 35 and I'm starting to feel like I'm getting ARs faster than I'm getting materials to keep my characters as equipped as possible. Is "Whoops I accidentally built my team bad and now the world level is too high for me to feasibly get anything down" something I need to super concern myself about, and if so, is there value in sticking at 35 while I dump resin into the bosses I can currently kill so that I've got the leveling materials once the world level starts getting Up There?

like posted above, don't skimp out on raising your WL, the extra drops are worth it. 35 is the big sink point, but once you hit 40+ you'll feel the pressure ease up some as your A team will probably be close to maxed til 50. there probably will feel like some bumps with the jump in WL, but just make sure you're actually paying attention to using your reactions and it'll be fine. Heck I only seriously invested in artifacts for 2 characters until 45 and have had zero issues in overworld and weekly bosses.

geez, that zhongli personal quest was a massive tonal shift compared to all the rest being kinda silly romps with a character. guess it's fitting that the god of capitalism was all about crushing those in his way and ~no room for weakness or kindness~

My childe from the last banner came out really weird and had a big hat and boobs, does that mean hitting the pity on this banner is 100% on the john glee coinflip? i know the 90 carries over i just don't know about the 50/50 bit

e: absolutely okay with getting mona though, her passive talent is probably the best in the game

yeah, if you don't hit the featured 5* on a banner, your next will be that character (i got qiqi on venti, then childe on childe)

Tart loves XL for vaporize procs since her abilities stay on the field when she isn't. Ditto for Fischl. Bennett is a solid support for his ability to help charge XL ult while making you near unkillable, invaluable on cooldowns. For Tart you want to prioritize making reactions proc while he melees everything to death, and since he drops stance on swap you want the reaction help on the field before he Es. Anyone who can drop things on the field for him to play with is good.

Yup, this is my experience with the boy as well and it rocks. No Bennet yet, but have Qiqi in for healing and the little wisp lets me freeze dudes left and right. I can't wait for the new water set to actually deck him out in good 5*'s

I maxed out the battle pass without doing any of this dumb stuff to grind specifically for bp exp.
It looked like it would be a tight margin on the very first one but now they give you 10-15 levels worth of exp from event-related battlepass goals and you can basically ignore the bp and still get it to 50 if you're logging in every day.

yeah, my playtime dropped immensely compared to the first BP and still hit 50 on the last day just logging in for 20 minutes daily goofing around spending my resin and doing the daillies. Once or twice a week i'd spend an hour running around and collecting some mats I need for ascension, but never any specific "i'm farming for BP points today"

WL7 has felt less of an impact than WL6 tbh. Getting to ascend 3/4 of my A-team to 6 and bring one dps to 90 gave a nice power boost I didn't get last time. Any other enemy hp/dmg increases will yet again go down with time and farming like always.

Dear god why is the Hydro boss so much more long, involved, and brutally difficult than the other five elements. I'm so loving done with this lovely fight and its obscene damage numbers and death nukes.

bring a geo character and the hydro shields will completely negate any damage trivializing the fight. combine it with a ranged character that can react with hydro and you'll have no problem with the all the bird spawns.

between scaramouche and now the summit of dragonspire, it looks like the metaplot hints are going to be doled out pretty regularly. The shattered pillar matches up with the ones on the loading screen, so that ties "the sky is fake" pretty nicely with the whole 'loading screen matches real world time vs teyvat accelerated time' Guess the whole fatui gathering power thing will be to somehow invade there eventually? :shrug: Be interesting to see what's up with the floating mass the camera zoomed in on at the end that we've seen in they sky for a long time now.

I don't think those are story quests. Just event quests like Fischl's? Unless that stuff also got added to the main game as just a questline, that'd be cool.

That's my interpretation as well. I'm sure when his key unlock personal quest comes we'll get to play him.

e; oh, huh, so they removed the key requirement. guess maybe during the last stage then?
