Don't have time to do much yet but I appreciate that we can go and murder these Elamite people for their keepsakes without a clue as to who the gently caress they are. Hope they're bad guys!

I'm not done with any of the quest lines yet but I wish that the Traveler would say something about Nara Varuna. Why are you so desperately trying to see Kusanali just so that she can deflect like all the other Archons, when you could just ask your turnip friends who you talk to all the time  They even say that you and Varuna have the same music or whatever.

It's pretty funny that I have to redeem daily commissions at a different Katheryne due to the archon quest. Also today's dailies took me way out into the edge of the desert that I haven't explored yet

RPATDO_LAMD posted:there are always a few insane people on reddit who declare that every new character is completely useless but negative sentiment certainly wasn't as widespread for raiden as it was for kokomi I started during the Raiden banner so I remember reading impressions in some detail. IIRC people were really mad about the Beidou interaction (and maybe some other stuff?) so the overall reaction was colored by a lot of bad-faith arguments. Objectively you could kind of tell it wasn't that bad. With Kokomi it was a more straightforward case of gameplay misjudgment.

Koboje posted:I am fairly new at Genshining, gotten to recently exploring Liyue and the story and got some questions and observation OP did not answer fully. Elemental reactions aren't interchangeable. Vaporize and Melt are multipliers, so they scale the best with attack/crit. The other reactions depend on only Level and EM and have inherent constant factors, with I think Overload being the highest and Superconduct the lowest. You will be happier if you accept Paimon into your heart, as she ain't going away. Geo Traveler is decent but tricky to play. Dendro Traveler (when you get to Sumeru) is currently good, but it remains to be seen whether that's because we have no Dendro alternatives right now. Fates go on "sale" in the form of the one-time double bonuses, which refresh rarely (once a year I think). Friendship doesn't have any gameplay effects, it gives some cosmetic content like namecards.

MoonCrab posted:People get confused about spread/aggravate but the tldr is that it's basically just vape/melt. If you have an attack/crit weapon you build EM/DMG%/Crit, if you have an EM weapon you build Atk%/Dmg%/Crit. Both EM and Atk% substats are good, if you have lots of them then it might be better than an arti with higher CV, yadda yadda yadda, you know the drill. I can't get Zhongli aggravate teams to work against multiple targets. Is it just meant to be a single-target team, or is there some gameplay trick that I'm missing out on? idk how I'm supposed to apply Dendro with how janky the MC/Collei skills feel

Or the lasers when there's no way for you to get more blocks in time.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Just poking at the uploaded teams on gcsim tartaglia does around 40-45% of the damage in his best team, International, (with an equal or greater amount of damage done by xiangling) while Eula does mostly ~70% of the total team damage in her superconduct teams. (But there are a ton of different ones, IDK if one is 'the best' or what.) I don't know if it makes sense to judge characters like that though. Eula would love to have supports that do more damage, she just can't while also fulfilling her own requirements. Meanwhile Xiangling is doing a lot of damage, but Childe's providing all the water. I wonder what normal team has the highest share of personal damage. Maybe Itto mono-Geo?

I think player skill is way too variable to draw conclusions from a single person's sample of games. Some games I had were easy for the hunters, some for the rebels. One thing I have found is that people aren't that aggressive about racing for the favor, so running straight for it no matter has worked out for me (though I may have just been getting lucky spawns).

Nilou's single comp destroys anything else for multiple enemies. Problem is they're never going to make encounters which really stress that ability, since then no one can clear it without Nilou.

Tree Reformat posted:One of the big themes of the game is the tension between The Elect and Everyone Else. I suppose technically, our main character is supposed to be the bridge between the two, but we're just as much of an absurd demigod as all the other playable characters soooo I mean it's not really a problem with Ningguang. She is powerful. You're just on a cosmic quest that no one can really help with due to your goal being in hell and also heaven is actively erasing all the evidence. It's like if you arrange a meeting with Biden to ask him about aliens, he won't be able to help you. At the end of the day the Traveler's whole thing is just a framing device. It started the game and it'll end it, but in between we've got a Teyvat to explore that's got its own poo poo going on.

MNSNTZR posted:agreed with kokomi, even though i don’t really use her as much as i should. i don’t think people undervalue zhongli as much as they dunk on him making you play the game bad, which can be true. I don't really get the whole Zhongli being easy mode shtick because most people prefer ease Zhongli or no Like Raiden national is burst burst burst burst on loop, you're either in i-frames or Raiden burst. Same with hyper Raiden Freeze (when it's good) does not interact with enemies With Nilou bloom or hyperbloom you press the buttons and it basically plays itself and so on and so forth few people play things like Wanderer with no shields

All this time I've been assuming that in rhythm events, the long notes need to be released with correct timing as well. But apparently you can just hold through them and it'll still give you a Perfect. What's even the point then?! Is this how it works in actual rhythm games?

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Better than characters who buff bloom like Baizhu or Kaveh, even? What's special about her in that context? I'm not sure on the exact numbers but I don't think Kaveh's buff stacks very favorably with Nilou's bountiful cores which already have a huge multiplier, and the rest of his kit is kind of redundant. At least personally, I find that the flex slot on that team is mainly for ensuring that you trigger Blooms. I find Collei to be the most reliable and practical application (aimed, decent range, boomerang return, lingering aura). Not sure about Baizhu since I don't have him.

The thing with lore in this game is a lot of it is in the archaeological side with all the randoms notes left around of varying antiquity that you have to piece together the meaning of. That's not wrong in itself but it's a high-effort ask in a low-effort game so most people are not going to bother Also with Sumeru especially your brain is going to spin if you're not fluent in like, Sanskrit and old Persian with the proper noun density. Like I gave an honest try at following the Liloupar cutscenes mini-plot but I just couldn't Redmark fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Jul 28, 2023 |

Tampa Bae posted:Finally finished up the last couple story quests in Inazuma and all I've got to do is track down the last couple chests to 100% the area. I understand the game is meant to be completed by using the free characters only but what on earth were they thinking with these compass puzzles. Unless I'm missing some kind of mechanic the only way to solve them is applying electro to yourself and literally stand still until it wears off, or just use Beidou. You solve these by getting an Electrograna, walking to the compass until it points in the right direction, then gingerly walking away from it in the same direction until you're out of range. Rinse and repeat for each compass. This can be finicky when the compasses are close together but it's the general approach.

So now if you're doing quests or exploration or event stuff you don't have to do as many commissions? Kind of cool I guess, cuts down on grind a little. Also a bit of incentive not to do all the content in one go

The weekly rep quests and bounties count too but there's little reason to do those once you've maxed out a region's rep. Do all things that use up resin count too?

I'm not convinced that the PRC really cares that much about the soft power of gacha games. I mean it's not nothing, but to me the simplest explanation is that the government really does just dislike people dedicating "too much" time and money to video games. And there's a lot of middle ground between doing nothing and arbitrarily "breaking up" game companies.
