The argument for Kaeya and Ning being 5 star was due to their importance in the lore, i.e. Kaeya having Khaenri'ahn origins and Ningguang being the highest authority in Liyue outside of any adepti, not gameplay.
And now there are actual possible theories of kaeya being a cryo abyss lector and not to mention ningguan as the reincarnation of guizhong, the god of dust
@@soumyajitsarkar2669 that theory of Ning being the reincarnation of guizhong has no actual evidence within the lore, it's mostly made up by people who ship zhongli/ningguang, and there tend to see her as a reincarnation. And it wouldn't really make sense for Ning to be a reincarnation because of how the whole liyue storyline is about humans being able to live without gods/adepti.
My issue with Adventure Rank is that the rewards for grinding for literal months after 55 are so inconsequential to your overall experience. Only 1 standard wish, a handful of primos and 2 resin after spending 6+ months of grinding? Stuff that can be used in seconds? Come on.
The rewards in general suck. Especially the dailies. Without event you only get a 10 pull after almost a whole month. Also having the most expensive crystals pack bearly getting you through 50% to pity is evil. A 100$+ for MAYBE getting a 5* feels illigal
@@somebody7205 100% agree. I play another mobile gacha game, and I can earn their in-game currency through multiple avenues of gameplay, and get enough to pull multiple copies of the featured banner character. I barely pay a cent outside the $5 battle pass, which makes Genshin's system so much more awful. But MHY doesn't care since it makes them money 🤑
I start noticing a pattern. People complain (rightfully) about the content but usually when the fanbase is about to burst Hoyoverse mages to save the situation with a specific patch and usually it is near summer when a new region arrives
It’s called Sunk Cost Fallacy. It took a long time for me to quit PoE, the division 2 and Destiny 2(which I returned to). Made a bunch of PvP and PvE , builds which are not even relevant anymore lol.
@@abhiss6705 I really loved Genshin and I spent my fair share, loved the game and don't regret any of it. But, I did quit and now I don't spend so any money on any Gacha at all so...thanks for the memories Hoyoverse xD
@@DoingFavors yup same here. Though I spent around 200 ish mainly on Battle passes and welkins , I found the content drought and ease of combat just plain irritating. I played Elden ring and nioh 2 which are hard games and going back to genshin just broke me lol.
wait i understand that inazuma is locked but isnt sumeu just open to the new player as soon as it comes out. They can just farm the mats but probably cant start the archon quest
Tbh I feel this statement could be fair but not all true. I did a sub account a bit back and I was able to unlock the chasm (atm AR 8) and if sumeru is like right next to the chasm or in general Liyue then it’s accessible for new player the only exception is inazuma which is the only region out of the main land of tevyat
This was me when Itto released. I started the game for Itto & realized I had to grind all the way to Inazuma. I did some research and had many failed ice bridge attempts with a friend til I finally gave up & decided I’d just grind everything possible to get to AR30 might’ve been 35 so I’d be allowed into Inazuma via story
you can tell this game is a love/hate relationship and its eating him inside because he likes the game so much but the game doesnt give him enough love.... the pain is real.. and hes not alone
It does seem like the love for this game seems to always be one-sided. I'm so glad i got out of this toxic relationship. I still sometimes get the urge to play it, but then I remember all the bs and how much I've already missed and it passes.
@@nanaya7e433 mannnnn it must be nice to be you, but ive already spend hundreds of dollar for this shit. too late to quit. btw, do you spend too? just curious how do you quit
"likes the game but the game doenst give back much" finally someone said it for me lol. ive been having this feeling for a looooonnggg time, but hard to describe it myself
yea, I always find myself returning to this game no matter how much I quit due to burn out Actually, I just reinstalled today and found out my boy Kazuha is getting a re run, I want to finally get him this time. Lore and story wise, I like genshin Gameplay wise, I love it But cmon man, Genshin really needs to evolve, its like a Pokemon game now, Same shit different region/Version
I was so confused when Scaramouch popped up in Inazuma acting like we'd seen him before, as I started after 2.0 and never saw his story event. Those kind of quests need to be accessible to new players
Time limited events should just not be a thing, I really like genshin but I'm an absolute casual player so I've been missing out of so many events. I get there's like seasonal events, but man I just don't have the time to keep up sadly...
Games in general always have events that are time limited, thats just the way it is. It wouldnt be called an event if it wasnt Of course there are exceptions but yea keyword is exceptions
Honestly same and I'm still upset about missing like the majority of them and I'm a veteran player. I haven't even been on the game for awhile and even when new events and such come out, I don't play it then and there. I give it some time before they're over.
Unfortunately, events are usually the only way to keep fresh content rotating without getting stale. There’s only so many ways you can keep the game up with permanent content before you’re forced to resort to events.
It’s how games like Genshin get people to continuously play. It’s not just Genshin many games have limited events, fortnight and minecraft and destiny all of them have limited events so people keep playing the game instead of leaving it for another time and then not coming back to the game. It’s a strategy to give players urgency
With the limited time story events revealing things and having continuity, Albedo's second event really slapped me in the face with how weird it is, especially when he dropped some incredibly important lore about the identity of Gold, the person who created Durin, the Rifthounds, and other Abyssal monsters that came pouring out of Khaenri'ah when the Cataclysm happened. I was shocked and asking why the _hell_ they would do this in a _temporary event._ How are they going to handle this later in the actual permanent story? They're going to have to explain it again in a way that doesn't feel weird for players who were here for the event because new players will have no idea. It's just... weird. Not to mention that, if you read the lore from the Husk of Opulent Dreams set, it seems that Scaramouche going to Mondstadt during the Unreconciled Stars event may or may not be canon. So, what will they do for new players? Have the story act like that still happened but without Traveler being present for it, thus having to explain what happened? They're really creating more work for themselves on that front. I get that they're trying to tease future story developments to keep us hooked, but a good gameplay loop will also keep us hooked. Literally just give us a dungeon with a procedurally generated map and randomized enemies, buffs, and debuffs. It's the simplest thing to do, and they already have the groundwork for it: The Mystic Onmyou Chamber from the Labyrinth Warriors event. Lore-wise, that domain rearranges its map. Take that lore and make it a gameplay mechanic. Boom, you now have a repeatable domain.
One feature from Honkai that I'd appreciate is the skill summaries. It'd be great if hyv could add a toggleable screen swapping between the summary and detailed explanation of skills/artifact sets. Instead of always having to read a dissertation on how the ocean healing set works, something like "u heal more ur explosion hurts more" would be nice. What's that? HYV doesn't like toggleable stuff for genshin?
There is a chanel called Vars II that mainly talks about the problems genshin has, for instance: why no one plays x character, design issues ( artifacts, characters, weapons) and a lot more. It is a very interesting channel and i reccomend it to Tectone since i liked this video a lot.
@@juancruzgonzalezsueyro6953 I mean I don’t mind him being fun and jovial but he often antagonises said creator and then passes quirky unbecoming comments about them. But when the same happens to him he plays the victim card. I don’t have a problem with his content / char , so it’s baffling why he takes that approach. As Asian guy says. He is entertaining without it. You can tell he is past it , and his views are at an all time low but still.
The thing with genshin impact difficulty is that most of it is easy, but when a hard part comes around it’s more frustratingly difficult than fun. They need to add more combat options because with the static movement of the characters it just leads to really unsatisfying, stiff, frustrating gameplay.
From a person who finished the Dark Souls trilogy and Elden Ring, Genshin is not mechanically or fundamentally difficult. It’s artificially difficult, in example the enemies in spiral abyss that you call “hard” are their normal versions with super inflated Hp and Attack numbers, combined with gimmicks that change often that only exist to serve rate up characters, and being laid out and spawned in a manner that is designed to waste time. As well as newer mobs having stalling mechanics such as long animations with invulnerability, teleporting in and out of your view.
@@khrysostamos9385 DS and ER give you a good fuck that you will come back and beg for some more, while this game gives you a fuck and fucks you off lol
Ill say this, if a certain strong box leak is true, its gonna help genshin alot. We need only two things from hoyoverse at that point and it would be to add endgame content (obviously) and a way to earn boss mats from different regions not yet unlocked for new players. And for the love of god add raids so coop can have a purpose
exactly, co-op is pointless in genshin. co-op is just 'i've exhausted today's material and i can't ascend my character, gonna go visit other's to take materials because i can't wait a day'. what do you need a co-op for when you can beat the domain below 1 min, defeat a boss in 1-2 min. hoyo tryna make an RPG feel like an MMORPG and the outcome is the worst game ever. If this isn't an anime styled game most of the player wouldn't last 3-6 months playing.
@@liliaceae2212 im glad u said this bc I couldn't agree more 😭 If the charas didn't look the way they looked and I wasn't invested in the lore I would have left back in november 2021
Absolute worst take was that idea of artifact powercreep. Hot fires of hell that would suck. It’s hard enough as is building just one character, and I usually go from character to character so I’ll have a lot of options for variety and flexibility. I do NOT want to have to restart this process from scratch EVER.
The Kaeya and Ninguang nitpick missed the asterisk where he said they should be five stars *based on story relevance as well as some 5 stars needing to be 4 stars *based on story relevance. Also he might have some Kaeya bias for... aesthetic reasons heh
Funny one of the most important Issuse is not mention at all. The New Characters need the New Bosses for ther Materials! So you have to play through the entire Game, to level up your New Characters, but to get there you need leveled up other Characters, that you don't want to use later on. Or even worse you start the Game and get a ton of Sumeru Characters and hve to get to Sumeru to level them up, but to get There you have to play through Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma! The Acces to the Bosses has to change in the future or else New Players will drop the Game faster than you can count. Imagine if Shneznaya comes out and then you start with all these Characters that you get and you can't level them Up at All!
True, absolutely true. Thankfully, it's entirely possible that you won't have to have finished Inazuma to get to Sumeru, considering the surface section of the Chasm has a tunnel in the far west wall that just leads into an Out of Bounds zone. That's probably where we'll go to reach Sumeru. But even then, the enemy levels gradually increase the further you get away from the starting area in Mondstadt, so imagine having to walk your newbie butt all the way from Mondstadt to Snezhnaya, where enemy levels are 10+ more than the enemies in Mondstadt _and_ you have to beat a boss there _and_ hope that the talent book domain and weapon ascension mat domains there have low level options. Yikes.
@@Hai_Haiii Unless they add a merchant that lets you trade for materials from later regions. They could find some way to keep older players from abusing the merchant so that they will still be more inclined to actually fight the bosses and collect the materials, while new players can use it to actually be encouraged to pull on the new banners.
Honestly, EXACTLY because it's such a huge problem, SURELY HYV will do something about that either when Sumeru is completed or at the latest when Fontaine comes out. It's such a huge and obvious problem, there's no way they are gonna ignore it until the end of the game. I will just be curious how they will choose to solve it, because i already read a few very valid suggestions on how to solve it from players, that surely HYV won't have a problem on coming up with SOMETHING. I might be too hopeful, but i like the game(even if the company that makes it is... yeah), so i'd rather just keep hoping. Tho thinking about it, it also occured to me that they might be ignoring it on purpose. Maybe they don't want players to play with characters the traveler haven't met yet and so they limit how much players can lvl such characters? Hopefully, this is bullsh*t, but if not... well, i don't even want to think about that;;
Yeah, Qiqi needs a huge buff. In the lore she was apperantly so OP that Xiao and the Adepti had to seal her power with that paper seal on her head. Hoyoverse should just buff Qiqi already.
The new artifact set was a small buff. She’s not that bad anymore on freeze or melt teams if you hVe the clam set. She just still gets bad rep because she was very bad before the set
@@kneenomaeinaknees1362 chichi also heals better and quicker than diona and applied cryo better if she was a 4 star people would love it. They just don’t like to lose the 50/50 on a healer
They should have a system like borderlands to dump all the trash rolled guns, when you pick them up set auto trash filters. Then press a junk button to get rid of them with an option to either turn them into artifact exp or mora In borderlands 3 = No not purple or legendary with no annointment = auto trash
Consider yourselF BLESSED for having that problem.. Im a lvl56 nd i still need to grind for hours just to level up one artifact after i even get a good one.
I never had this problem. It's the least of my problems. I have like 400/1500 whenever I get an upgradable artifact, I level it using the other artifacts.
The fact that Yelan's banner outsold Raiden's, to me, is a sign that it will still last longer than we think. Maybe time will prove me wrong, but at this point, HYV have made more than enough money to pay for the rest of development. And you know that with each new region, people will return and spend more.
Which is surprising considering Raidon had an unbelievable quest. Probably the only one in the past like year that i wasn’t bored playing through. Yelan’s was def nowhere near that level of cinematic - story telling.
To be fair they already have enough money to finish the entire game without earning a single penny and still have money to buy expensive stuff for themselves.
New metricts show that game is literally at its most popular, almost having 2x its original players at launch, the game is doing better then fine, its doing fantastic at the moment, Just beause a few youtubers and hardocre players complain, doesn't mean most people are actually unhappy with the game, and the stats only prove it.
@@darekpower no shit mate, every game that didn't suffer a crisis is doing better than when it launched. But one thing's for sure is that the honeymoon period is ending and the game is already loosing views online and is already starting to have a decline in current players playing at a moment.
@@thegamerfe8751 lmao no it's not, it's still gaining players month after month, literally at its peak ATM. TH-camrs views are down coz they make garbage content on how the game is dying and people are tired of hearing that shit over and over.
One thing they could do to help with the "I've got this character but his ascenscion materials are 36 adventure ranks ahead of me" is to have regional standard banners (which should of course either cost less primos or have a better pity than the time limited ones) so you could unlock them as you unlock regions. So, at the start, you only get the Mondstat banner, get through the archon quest, go to Liyue, unlock that banner and so on. That way you at least don't get any characters you can't upgrade right now.
What's funny about HoYoverse pandering their cringe ads in order to attract new players is that, if someone is just starting out Genshin today, they are already missing out 40% of important stuff related to the lore of the game that has been capped behind limited time events that are never coming back. That alone should be enough for new players to keep this game at bay. They will never be able to experience Genshin Impact to the fullest like the people who's been playing the game since they one. That ain't fair, and that's why I would never reccomend this game for anybody.
8:17 “and not us talking to madam ping about how she can’t remember who her children are because she has Alzheimer’s” I laughed way harder than I should’ve at that 😂
Vars takes are shit xD I like the guy, very nice voice and seems genuine, but he obviously doesn't now much about the game. if you're curious I recommend the "Genshin court" episode on him (the author is fact checking Genshin content creators, Tectone has an episode too)
@@akwaMartyna I've taken your word for it and watched the first half of his video (where he talks about Keqing and electro). It's pretty terrible. Half of the time he argues pointlessly against things generally accepted by the majority of the community, the other half of the time he's misinterpreting Vars. Apologies in advance for the wall of text, but I feel it's necessary to address everything I saw in the video. I have no idea why Flip has an issue with Vars calling Xiangling a top tier support and Tartaglia a main dps. Most theorycrafters and community members will agree that Vars is right and just adding some thud sound effects with a zoom-in won't make his argument better. There is a part in the video where Vars argues that Keqing's burst is badly designed because it has a backloaded instance of high damage at the end and Flip misinterprets this as Vars complaining about electro's bad elemental reactions. What should be immediately obvious is that Vars is pointing out that enemies are likely either out of range or already dead by the time the burst ends. This is the same principle behind people complaining that Eula's burst takes too long to activate and most enemies are dead by the time it pops. Flip also complains about abyss usage rates and how they have a negative statistical effect on 4-star characters. He would be correct if it wasn't for the fact that "meta" 4-star characters (Bennett, Xingqiu, Xiangling, etc.) maintain an extremely high usage rate despite everyone owning them. Additionally, he insists that using abyss usage rates constitutes a data set issue (statistically speaking), but the data is gathered from top abyss players who can make use of any character at their highest potential, so I don't see how this would make the data particularly inaccurate. If anything, it's better to listen to the advanced players. His takes about electro are also misguided. He seemingly has an issue with Vars calling electro the worst/second-worst element in the game. Again, the overwhelming majority of theorycrafters will agree with Vars. When have you seen an electro character other than Raiden being praised for their damage? He goes on about how electro can proc multiple simultaneous reactions but forgets that Melt and Vaporize are still purely stronger compared to Electro-Chargued due to their multiplicative scaling (while Overloaded annoyingly knocks enemies away, causing you to miss some attacks). Raiden national isn't a strong team because electro is a strong element, it's strong because the supports are strong and Raiden herself is strong. The core of the issue is that Vars is right and electro sucks as an element. Superconduct is only for physical damage characters, Overloaded is a worse version of Vaporize and Electro-Charged is relatively weak compared to multiplicative reactions. Raiden is the only electro character that gets used as a DPS, and that's because Raiden herself is strong, not electro.
@@spukyon alright, from what you've written I can see that you're a casual player and there's nothing wrong with that but I don't think we'll be able to discuss it. Maybe you realized but the Flip guy doesn't criticize any random content creator, he only criticizes those that speak about meta related things, without knowledge about Genshin meta, which usually leades to more people being misinformed, like you - and I don't mean it in a hostile way, also I don't mean opinions - for example yeah about "electro is second worse thing" - you can't measure that per se so I will consider it as opinion. Still, even though I actually agree that electro is second worst (but electro reactions are my favourite despite all that), I don't agree with Vars arguments and takes on it. Most of other things, like not all, are however facts and "the majority of community" which is something you just came up with, because you can't know what they think (my opinion is - majority don't even know "main DPS" term or they do but they don't give a fuck what it means) has nothing to do with it. Main DPS = a character that does the most DMG in a eam. Now, these are things you can measure. I'm talking for actually invested units because that's what theorycrafters take as baseline. Obviously 5 crit rate 50 crit dmg, no artifacts, Lv 1 weapon and lvl 1 herself Xiangling won't outdamage anyone properly in national. Take Ayato for example, with Xiangling he's an enabler because she will outdamage him, but in his hyper team he's indeed the main DPS. I would go in more depth about other things you mentioned (like, I'm surprised anyone doesn't see how scuffed abyss usage is... Like... I'll be using Kuki right now for at least 3 abysses because she's new but that doesn't make her better in taser than Fischl or Beidou XD and at AR59 i have enough dmg to clear it with physical itto. and yes, I am one of the people providing data because i just think it's interesting; it's more of a popularity contest though, people play who they like first and that's only the one of many problems with abyss usage. However, what I've already written are so basic things that no wonder you can't understand Flip's point if you don't understand them. I can tell that meta clearly isn't your interest probably, I see no reason in discussing since if let's say I'll start getting into electro and mention how OP it's chain reactions are, you'll probably won't know what I'm talking about. However, if you want to I could go over your comment in full detail. Ps. Don't take anything as a personal attack, there's literally nothing wrong with not caring about all that more complicated stuff in this game, at the baseline it's easy especially if you don't care about the abyss. And as I've mentioned anyway, at some point you will be able to clear it with anything. Also, i found this Flip guy recently but from what I've seen this series isn't to be taken 100% seriously, of course it's exaggerated but bruh, we're in Tectone's comment section, that should be obvious YTbers do that xD i agree with him though on series like that being needed because then we see all those account reviews with people seriously struggling because they take advice from people that sound legit since they more or less understand a bit about Genshin's meta, like Vars or Mtshed, but not really. That's why despite having genshin TH-cam channel and being into genshin meta (i just find it fun, not necessarily playing by it though it's helpful on my FTP AR54 account where i haven't got 36* yet) i won't make videos on that. I understand game mechanics and team synergies so i could help people build their accounts but I'm far from a math person, i did calcs occasionally (like to test Catch vs Serpent Spine on my Raiden) and it's hard lol. And i can assure you, Vars doesnt do any math ever Edit: typos
Genshin popularity won't be as it was before but it will always be good enough for most people to recognise it. And there is still like 4 more regions to go and the hype for this game will stay for the culture purpose.
I think the main disconnect is culture wise. Firstly the hard truth is - none of us are the target audience. Their target audience is in Asian students or young adults with little to no free time. The fact that some foreigners complain ...China is used to that. A lot of Asian mentality is that they will always proritize their own market even if it brings less money and they do not like outsiders telling them how they should do things. I get that a lot of this community means well, but at this point we are just creating a toxic enviroment for ourselves, coz thinking that a Chinese company will listen to outsiders before their own people is...crazy talk. Unless some of yall are undercover old Chinese businessman, you will not be taken seriously, so we can either enjoy what we ve got or move on...
already moved on because this horribly managed game burnt my hopes in a flash after holding out since 1.0 till 2.7, waifus are awesome and the r34 is the last bastion that keeps this game in my radar
@@DragonoftheDarknessFlame Probably talking about players that actually live in China not the the ones that are overseas. A lot of the players in China can't play the game for too long.
how can you say their target audience are ppl with barely any free time when we are talking about a game that seems to expect you to put all of your time into it. those are two contradictory things
@@snowbird7254 hmm... genshin doesn't really take up too much free time. You can speed run the game to the latest content in probably less than a week if ur good (i know some people that do this). Personally, I played the game at release and then stopped playing after 1.1 and started playing again and they basically give out 2x resources per resin for returning players so its very easy to catch up. I've basically caught up to the latest content already. The fact of the matter is that a lot of player sink time into pointless things like farming even though the difficulty of the game scales based on ur adventure rank (which increases the more u farm), so actually if you farm less, the easier the game is...
Genshin being a mobile game can catastrophically hold the game back: Mobile-specific UI/UX design is an additional dimension of dev work can increase the cost of developing features such as artifact loadouts and controllable target lock-on. Disk space restriction means contents must be time-limited unless they develop more advanced space-management features (or superior asset reuse/compression).
@@oleksandrsvyrepov9745 Chinese people, genshin's primary target demographic, use smartphones for everything - you can literally go shopping, travel domestically, etc without ever needing a wallet. For this reason, many people actually don't have/need PCs, which is why internet cafes exist (when kids want to game on a PC they'll usually go there). Mobile gaming is HUGE in China, so I doubt hoyoverse will ever neglect mobile gamers
29:45 They should make more story events like the one in The Chasm since we got story and an event somewhat tied to the story in a way. The Irodori Festival's story should've stayed as an Interlude quest. Same with Lantern Rite, Dragonspine, and maybe even Windblume Festival I guess but that was so long ago that I don't remember if there was even a main story to it.
Make the limited time story events unlockable like hangout events so that newer players can experience them. They could make them gated behind purple keys or literally anything else tbh. I’ve played since launch but missed a couple events due to real world circumstances and I wouldn’t even mind spending resin/primos to get to experience Albedo’s second story quest and the windblum festival
2:23 It specifically said "Based on story importance" which is true for Ningguang (leader of a nation) and Kaeya (fallen prince of the plot's current antagonist faction). Whereas Keqing is basically a high ranking office worker and Qiqi is a pharmacy receptionist.
You are falsely mistaken Ninguang isn't a "leader of a nation" she and Keqing hold the same political power in Liyue it's not a monarchy there is 7 seats of people that run the country both Keqing and Ninguang are part of those 7
Pandering to new players but then new players have no access to the limited time events that are story-based, crucial stories at that, too. Such a contradiction. Mihoyo has to make those events available at all times, like you mentioned.
They should allow us to fuse artifacts and take stats from the artifact being used as material. Just make you pick 1 or 2 stats that you want and lock the other ones so you have to be careful what you take. That would ease the burden of grinding artifacts over and over
Funny cause this video came up on my recommended too. This video blew up like crazy and the points made are legit and well thought out . Props to the guy who made this. His perspective is from a relatively newer player too.
@@Kunoichi4ever4 I understand that Mihoyo is only listening to the Chinese audience and their limited internet time but it wouldn't hurt them to make at least one or two events permanent, like the windchase or that one really old Mondstad parkour event. We may be unrelated to Chine but there are still tens of thousands of people playing the game and poring all their money into it. We're not asking them to hand the company over or shower us with primogems everyday, we're just asking for them to make the gameplay fun again. It's been forever untill I've felt joy playing the game and a lot of people feel the same, and we can't just quit the game because then we would miss the primogems and characters, not many people (myself included) can't afford to spend money for primogems for various reasons. Yes they're a Chinese company who listens to the Chinese audience but it wouldn't hurt to add some more permanent content to make the westerners happy. We don't matter less because we're not Chinese and our opininons don't cancel out because we're Westerners
Tectone be like "The most powerful and richest woman in Teyvat... along with the best cutscenes this game has ever provided, should be a 4*" I think I'd doubt tectone more there.
I think for the artifact system, they should add a trade/sell the one we don't want. same for weapons. kinda like the crafting system. I feel bad for new players coming in cause its hard to catch up. I still haven't done any of the recent interlude chapters yet. im just trying to level up my 2 teams for the abyss and the rest of the game.
I think they already have that kind of system for the artifacts tho? You can actually sell your artifacts for Mora and you can also trade them in the Strongbox (located in the crafting table) for another artifacts. Sadly you have to use 3 five star artifacts to convert it into 1 new five star artifact (mostly their substats or main stat is really bad too). It's also limited to five stars and a few artifacts sets.
19:23 The way I see this working out is making 1,3,5 set artifacts. Where a 1 set is a weak bonus or a quality of life bonus (eg. _small_ passive heal, small movement buff, 5% attack, etc.); a 3 set bonus is a stronger version of a 2 set bonus; and a 5 set is like the 5 star weapon bonuses (eg. random bullshit that is generally broken fun). That way if you choose to reroll for an older character that had a 2 and 2, you can potentially recycle the set you're replacing onto another character. Like for Teccy, he said his Xiao is a 2 Glad, 2 Ven. Let's say a set came out that had a 3 set bonus of 25% Attack bonus but the 5 set bonus was support focused (eg. mainly worked off field). As you're grinding for the support, you can swap in the new 25% attack set for the 2 piece Glad. It's like if you're grinding for Husk and happen to get a fucking amazing Ocean-Hued set. You're not wasting your time specifically grinding to replace the old sets, but if you happen to get it it won't make you made to swap it out. On the other hand a 1 set bonus may make the old 2-2 set up better than a new 3-2 set up for some characters. In this case let's say the full set of bonuses are 1 set increases plunge dmg, 3 set 20% Cryo, and 5 set is increased shatter damage but 200% for 5 seconds on a 20 second cooldown. That's something certainly worth farming as a 1 piece in the case of Xiao and dps Kazuha, a 3 piece is worth for Ayaka, and a 5 piece that may encourage a new playstyles with old characters (in this case plunging Eula shatters, enabled by Xingqiu and Venti, would be hilarious).
Changes Hoyoverse could make & I’d literally play every single day - Boosted the drop rate of commonly sought out artifact rolls from domains. Hoyo isn’t stupid they can see 99% of people farming Husk only keep the Defense Sands & Geo Goblets and likewise for the popular rolls in other domains. Just make it easier. The most fun in this game is building several characters. I’d build every single character if I could but it’s physically impossible with how the artifact system currently works - Double the amount of yellow artifacts per domain clear 20 resin = 2 yellows minimum 1 condensed = 4 yellows minimum - Make weekly bosses not cost resin - Reduced Mora cost for everything in the game by half 99% of the time when I take extended breaks from this game it’s because I’ve been getting destroyed with terrible artifact rng everyday & now I’m out of mora. So now I need to go farm mora for a week so I can go back to getting terrible artifacts everyday. It’s the most disheartening thing when you desperately need to progress your account to be able to do harder stuff like Abyss but can’t because bad rng
How about no resin at all and unlimited tries to get all mats like normal grindy game pretty sure I'll max out all characters I have rn but after first 6 characters I maxed out the whole thing is a chore now
You struggle in abyss? Then you probably haven't reach the endgame yet. Abyss is a joke. I wait for it for 15 days to do it in 15 minutes. It's absurd. Wish they add more floors and make them harder
Honestly I like farming for artifacts, but doing like 10 runs and not getting a single one i want to keep fills me with unidentifiable rage. personally, id like if we could craft some sort of item we could 'offer' prior to collecting rewards that either increases or guarantees our chosen base stat. it would still give players a reason to run multiple times to try to get artifacts with good secondary stats- but remove at least the main rage factor of artifacts. heck, if they want to cap how many we can offer at each domain each day (say like... 5 or ten, or maybe a 20 max for all artifact domains) its still a HUGE improvement to the entire system, and hoyo also gets a bonus of people coming back multiple days.
I dont agree with Inazuma difficulty spikes being a problem. It just switches from facerolling everything to mobs can actually harm you if you screw up badly. Unless you want to max star abyss (or some once a year event) there is nothing hard in this game. Annoying at times yes, but nothing is hard outside of abyss. That said, the journey until you catch up with the story is easily 8/10 if not more. But once you reached the "endgame" there is no endgame. Any mihoyo will probably never fix that.
yeah, but most of the playerbase is casual, so challenge =/= fun to them , lol, but nah, inazuma enemies are not just more dangerous, but they are annoying to deal with, specially in time challenges like the abyss, the geo patriarch dog and the void hounds are an example, they are unattackable most of the time and they move around all over the place, and let's not talk about the elemental spirits, who are almost inmune to melee characters and love to stay in an unreachable distance, those enemies make my klee useless as fk kairagis are the most grounded enemies of inazuma, they are consistent and harder to beat, but it is clear when you can attack them and when you would have to dodge, you only need to watch out if there are 2 of them so you kill them at the same time to avoid the full recovery of the surviving one
He's concern was for new players not veteran and I have a friend who just recently got to inazuma and he is struggling real hard because he's character are not built well yet as the time he had for grinding is too little compared to veteran imagine me being player since ayaka release I only have 7 fully built character compared to new player who only have 1 to 2 fully build character the difficulty really spike for new player the resin he have used through out his gameplay is low compared to veteran
@@rollingwebs5224 I'm king of new player(started in the middle of Ayato banner) and I start playing the game without locking for guides and of course I didn't use resin but I really notice the bug difference that talents and artifacts can make and how hard is to level both but then I finally watch 1 video about Genshin routine and use that to farms 1 star artifacts and of course I notice which characters could help me be alive longer I only level up Noelle Beidou and Barbara and it was very fast until I finally finish the main archon wursts in both regions and going to Inazuma with ar35 and all enemies was complete easy because I use all my random 4star artifacts that I got without using resin. Just 1 month ago I started to use element reaction because started to have interest in the SA but generally I just casually did reaction like overload xiangling Beidou or crystalization with Noelle. Because I did not have many character until finally getting a guaranteed 5 star that I wanted and with that came lots of new 4 stars. People exaggerate on how bad new player have playing the game. I started v cause I wanted Ayaka but I knew that it will be long before I can use her as a new player without books mora and all new materials. But in reality it was not that difficult with only struggling with leveling up talents.
@@rollingwebs5224 I mean I'd say to your friend not to do inazuma just yet and just farm stuff first and get stronger or else inazuma isn't gonna be fun
@@doomster8614 but if he do that he won't be able to play the current limited events it's also said in video that it's one of the major problems new player can't participate in current event if they did not finished the latest quest so your opinion might be good but in turn they won't be able to participate in new limited events that a couple of wish and there's also limited items, weapon they can miss without doing the latest content
Genshin content in a nutshell Create new character > Introduce and hype up new character > release said character along with an update(could be a minor or major update) > instantly make millions of $ just bec. Of new character(+ weapon). Outside of that Genshin is basically an artifact farming, resin burning, abyss reset waiting, do your daily commission within 15 mins. Type of game, no end game content like raids, or permanent fun co-op stuff. You couldn't even grind if you wanted to since once you 100% an area there's no reason to go back there unless the game forces you to do so with events and quests.
Probably for speedrunners you have a lot of time grinding ar exp to get to inazuma so you probably have decent enough builds to beat inazuma difficulty by the time you get there
I would say more tedious, specially in the abyss, where they waste soo much time jumping around all over the place before being able to be hit/damaged and their hp is so bloated that it actually becomes a challenge, but for the wrong reasons (gameplay mechanics are bad)
They should make a abyss like door where you can go in and get the options to download all the previous events like theater mechanics and windtrace. Then you can play them there and mobile players with low storage can choose to install and delete the game modes as they please. And pc players will be set free from those restraints.
Hey Tectone, If you want to spend more than 800 Resin on Sumeru's release you can recharge your resin without spending it everyday until Sumeru's release. It's not the best option, but it's an option.
One thing I absolutely despise are the Artifacts. I don’t mind the idea of farming them but it’s frustrating that I constantly get trash artifacts after entering the artifacts domain so SO many times. Pulling for a character is already hard enough, but they seem to make the artifacts ten times worse to grind for.
Yeah, I will just say for sure that Tectone is the one who's wrong on the Ningguang and Kaeya thing, not the video. Because it even said in the video, *based on lore. I am still kinda angry Ningguang isn't a 5 star from how important she is to the story and the crazy shit she does in it, the whole end of the liyue archon quest, she did more than some of the adepti. And Kaeya is rival to Dainsleif in terms of importance. Tectone just has an issue of being blinding by ingame power and ignoring the characters lore power. Not to slight him in any way, but just hope that's understood.
@@Muongoing.97c its mostly mihoyo’s fault for not putting such important thing in the story, maybe they will but for now i dont blame casuals who know nothing about the lore
I find it pretty stupid too. Archon's rule a whole nation, they are 5 stars. Similar to Jean being just the "acting" grand Master makes her a 5-star. So ningguang who runs the nation of Liyue and is the official tianquan of the nation, they decide to make her a 4 star? She literally made guizhong ballistas, made a sub space for the fight of osial and sacrificed her jade chamber for the sake of liyue's safety. You'd surely not think such an important character in the lore would be a freaking 4 star. Kaeya, who's features make him look ominous and a character who's certainly hiding a secret and is related to his 5 star brother, Diluc who's a rich bartender. A rich bartender got made a 5 star, and his brother who is clearly hiding some form of importance in the entire story is a 4 star. Talk about balance, hyv.
Watching this video made me very thankful that I somehow managed to watch Tectone's reaction to the 2.3 Albedo event on twitch before it got deleted after two weeks so I can retain the amount of joy and fun all of us had in my memories. Tectone thinking the whopperflower was Signora was the highlight 😂
🌸😹I must ask “what is your reasoning”? What!!? Ningguang doesn’t deserve to be a five star? I feel that is less “genuine critique” and more born of the personal bias of one who may not be adept at playing the character.😹🌸
As someone who played genshin religiously since 2.0 (almost getting every stier character and some stier 5star weapons) I finally put it down and started my haitus to play monster hunter rise with friends. It feels like a breath of fresh air playing a completed game with friends in a community that is not toxic and that is fun and knowledgeable. I patiently wait For one this community or at least some players see how much we have been taken away from when playing this game
@Sata Phan i should of clarified but religiously as in i logged in to do dailies and that was pretty much it. the "chore" syndrome ppl have with the game caught up to me i guess
Idk I feel like he is justified in saying Kaeya and Ning could be 5 stars. Their kits are so good but their stats are held back by the fact that they are 4 stars. Especially Ning. She has everything a catalyst character needs except the stats of a 5 star.
@@mitzi3262 this is true but generally speaking 5 stars have better stats. Those three have busted kits but I am talking about stats. Those three could definitely also be 5 stars lmfao
“It DOESNT make sense for the Archons” How silly of me to assume the literal gods would and/or should be powerful. No, let’s have the little pharmacist be better, that makes sense The guy made a lot of really good points tho tbh
Well, yes. Lore driven power is bad. Otherwise Traveler should wreck the shit out of everyone and yet she/he doesn’t. Noelle should have insane multipliers due to her in-lore super strength, but she doesn’t. Kaeya should be on par with Diluc but he doesn’t And so on and so forth. Balance gameplay should be above lore when designing a character.
28:10 no I don't think they should keep them in forever cuz then after 2 weeks those events will be left untouched and will just be sitting there taking up space in the event tab. If the Golden Apple Archipelago stayed in the game forever, it would get the same treatment as Dragonspine, Enkanomiya, and The Chasm. Sitting there collecting dust.
Having chapters of storylines (GAA, Albedo, Guoba quest) being time-limited is the biggest waste of artistic and game development resources ever, I really want them to rerun these events
they are a Chinese company ..yall seriously expect a Chinese company to listen to western feedback?? I knew what i got myself into the moment I started playing..I am not a target demographic, I am at best a number to spread propaganda.
@Katio Its China ... Its basically like playing a Russian game sayings you want changes and expect them to happen... very not a possibility for the company even if they wanted to listen (which they probably dont wanna). I kinda thought we all knew we are in a gray morals territory by playing the game, arguably on the dark side by actually giving them money....trust me the taxes are not gonna be used for spreading peace :D THe mains reaosn their games and shows are this publicly availabel the last few years is simply propaganda, nothing less, nothing more. Its for them to influence us, not for us to influence them..the moment that d happen China d fully again close down the gates and restrict or even ban the game.
@Katio They care about their games, not necessarily their player base. Those sort of things doesn’t exactly fall within the necessities and obligations of the company.
I just want a charge attack boosting artifact set that also lets you consume less stamina, it would make ayaka, keqing and all the catalyst users less annoying to use, or alternatively they could up the stamina cap, I also would like end game content but honestly I’m not getting my hopes up for any of the things I just said 😂😂😂😂😂, hoyoverse needs to step it up
When Albedo 2 event came through on my reroll account, I got to play part one of the story then played part 2 to get the sword. I didn't get the Festering Desire sword from playing part one only the new def sword from part 2. Here's something for new players to consider. This may happen also to new players who didn't play Golden Archipelago part one. It's coming.....
That's because the "Part 1" you're talking about is just Albedo's character quest, which is permanent content in the game. When the first Albedo event came out, players were required to play his character quest, which had _just_ been added that update, so a lot of people blend his quest and his first event together as one big thing, when it's not. Good point about the Golden Apple Archipelago, though. I'm curious how they're going to handle the characters returning to the islands, when not everyone played the first summer islands event.
Another aspect is that , as an old player, artifact management is a pain in the absolute ass, everything that is frustrating is manual, there are no artifact sets for characters, you cant get rid of trash artifacts in a quick and easy way, you have to manually click every single 5* artifact, the strongbox is the biggest sinner in this regard. among other things, you cant use shortcuts for most of the menues, so you have to click almost every single thing, and the icons are small so you cant do it quickly, it's frustrating as a day 1 player to manage artifacts when the inventory is full, that aspect by itself makes me wanna quit way more than any other one that genshin is not fixing. 99% to me is an artifact grind, and I also need to grind the artifact management to enable the artifact grind itself, lol , so fkin bad
Tectone’s idea on having at least one 6-star artifact that can be used on any character is really cool - helps with saving resources and makes optimising your character easier 👍👍👍👍👍 Very interesting content as always, Tectone! 👍👍👍👍👍
Oh yeah having event variations of mini games that stay inside the game would be great Jesus I wish they'd add those event games to the game world. Idk WHY they haven't
1:50 this is exactly the problem with me. If I even go back to genshin now that I've taken a very long break, I'll just get depressed with all the stuff I missed ;-;
They buffed Zhong cause CN playerbase was pissed that their archon wasn’t the most powerful character in the game. I mean talk about a ridiculous reason. Next thing you know Germans are gonna take to the streets to stop the Venti powercreep.
I started the game later then that guy and I didn’t find inazuma to be that hard. It was still easy I never felt the need to lower the world level. Genshin is an easy game in terms of world difficulty so that wasn’t an issue to me.
Believe that may be due to Hoyoverse adjusting the ads at some point, so they weren't immune to being knocked around. Remember that made quite the difference when Inazuma launched, so it's far less hostile compared to launch of Inazuma.
Based on character importance and lore? Yeah, Ning and Kaeya should be 5-stars and Qiqi should be a 4-star. Keqing is still the Yuheng so I do believe she deserves to be a 5-star in that aspect. She deserves a buff tho
the weird thing I noticed before I stopped playing is that I leveled a single character to 90. Everyone else I left at 80 for reasons that aren't important. the interesting thing is that the Damage scaling for enemies is based on the Highest level character you own period instead of the characters in your party. the damage scaling being the Color of the enemy levels. (white green yellow and red) when an enemy is red they do more damage and take less damage. I stopped seeing yellow enemies in Inazuma that were in the low 90's after I got just one character to 90. which made my day to day mob killing easier and I was taking less damage and stuff even if that lvl 90 character was not in the party. Tl;dr: I think level matters to a point, for stat scaling and such, but 80 is fine if you don't try to rush spiral abyss. Artifacts are the core of the character building alongside weapons and skill levels
there actually are a set piece bonus items, it's just that they don't exist on 5 star artifacts and when they did they were headpieces. And all they did was made you more resistant to a certain element. So they knew there could be 1 set pieces but then they backed off.
The solution to the storage issues of mobile player is quite simple: allow them to select what parts of the game they wish to not download, as can already be done with voice languages. Choose to not download Dragonspine, not download Enkanomiya, Inazuma, etc. If they wish to enter disabled areas or logged off there, those areas can be downloaded in the game or from the main menu. In the latter case, if the mobile player doesn't want to download more, they can have the option to pick a different waypoint to teleport to. I don't know why such a solution wasn't implemented yet. Besides, there has to come a time when mobile Genshin players are forced to upgrade hardware to continue playing, as was done with Final Fantasy 11 and PS2, or PS3 and 32-bit operating systems with Final Fantasy 14, so that the game isn't held back by old bad hardware.
"They're pandering to mobile players and their storage space" Nah that aint true in the slightest. As much as I would love for this to be the reason, it's not. Phone storage has gotten significantly bigger, you can get phones with over 1TB of storage these days. Besides, ALL events are still in the game files. Including the Golden Apple Archipelago and the second version of Enkanomiya. The METEOR event with Mona and Fischl is still in the game files. If you set up a private server you can play all of the limited quests and see all the little arena maps and the random ass domain entrances etc without ever touching the game files. The reason is FOMO and that's all. It is just for money.
Theoretically, yes, you are right. You can get phones with bigger storages. However, these types of phones are expensive as shit, and only few can afford them, hence most stick to a potato phone, or just play on PC directly if they can. The rest is accurate though.
@@Ahi_Django I feel like if you can run Genshin on your phone you likely have a decent amount of storage to begin with, at least 128gb. i have 128gb of storage and even i can barely run it, 20fps or less with lots of stutters lol. pretty much unplayable, its very demanding for a mobile game
@@bbjy I cannot play genshin on my phone at all. I tried for.. two days actually, and it did not work out well. What is also a problem is not only the storage, but how well a phone can handle the graphics. In most cases, a phone will get to a Limit pretty fast (most play genshin on low fps and graphics to have a fairly smooth genshin experience, and even then it's... oof). I do agree though. Genshin should not have been a mobile game originally with how demanding it is with graphics, etc.
@@Ahi_Django Yeah I wish it was made for PC/Console in mind first, maybe it wouldn't even have had gacha or timed story events to begin with if it was since thats not really common on PC/console.
Resin really holds this game back by so much. When the fishing system first released, the way I could go fishing or visiting other people's worlds to go fishing and genuinely grind to get R5 Catch for hours at a time without needing to get timegated by resin was some of the most fun I had in the game. When stuff isn't timegated and you actually have something to farm for then that gives us the gameplay loops we need. Sadly the Catch was and remains the only weapon available by fishing-- I have no idea why they haven't added more weapons or prizes. It feels like Hoyoverse keeps adding these new things every patch just to removed them 2 weeks later because they're more interested in adding new shiny things rather than actually deveolope old things (unless it's teapot).
Make different forms of noblesse. Instead of an upgrade per say. Like after using a burst it buffs 20% attack. But instead of attack it buffs EM by 150 or something. Or increases normal attack speed by 25%. Maybe a set that shreds phys resistance when you're hitting them with normal attacks. I feel all sets should be equally viable but just not reach the same peak for each unit. The healing set in modstadt should have 30% healing bonus. To make it viable for stronger healing Over DMG.
Off-topic but I really appreciate you posting constantly now. It was a really good decision on your part and I like spending a few minutes of my day enjoying your content, since Genshin is getting so stale and I don't know what to do in my free time. Thank you!!
Bruh when he said Ninguang and Kaeya should be 5* he meant *Storywise* not *gameplay.* Like a fcking zombie kid working in a farmancy is a 5* but the practically queen of Liyue is a 4*...
What's also kinda funny to me is I've played genshin for over a year now and only recently got Jean and as soon as I did she has helped me clear aybss so much easier it's pretty insane how much difference having a certain unit like her helps what I'm mainly saying is that it took to pre sumuru to get a standard banner 5 star which is an insane amount of time in my opinion love the vids teccy keep up the good work
the fact that I dropped the game on launch and just started playing this year is so sad. all those sweet sweet timed story quest and rewards are just gone for me.
I don't agree with most of TEctone's poitns on the game over this guy. Tectone didn't play Genshin Impact. Tectone bought Geshin Impact. He just power carded to high power level so the game was irrelevant to him. He has little to know experience with the actual difficulty of the game.
I'm able to 36 star the abyss, So I'll stop playing this game until the story is finished. I'll watch the story events that I missed on youtube later (maybe 2026).
14:43 Oh god please no. Let's be honest, you'll only want the goblet, and there'll be 7 elements _very_ soon. So you need the rng to get the goblet instead of the other 4 artifacts, then have it be element dmg% instead of the other 4 options, and then have it be the _right_ element dmg% out of 8 options, AND THEN have generally the right substats (ignoring whether or not the substats values are low or not). Like artifact farming is already heart breaking enough. Don't go and say "okay now do the same thing but 4/5 of the artifacts are now worthless 99% of the time."

The argument for Kaeya and Ning being 5 star was due to their importance in the lore, i.e. Kaeya having Khaenri'ahn origins and Ningguang being the highest authority in Liyue outside of any adepti, not gameplay.
And now there are actual possible theories of kaeya being a cryo abyss lector and not to mention ningguan as the reincarnation of guizhong, the god of dust

wait i understand that inazuma is locked but isnt sumeu just open to the new player as soon as it comes out. They can just farm the mats but probably cant start the archon quest
Tbh I feel this statement could be fair but not all true. I did a sub account a bit back and I was able to unlock the chasm (atm AR 8) and if sumeru is like right next to the chasm or in general Liyue then it’s accessible for new player the only exception is inazuma which is the only region out of the main land of tevyat
Inazuma is locked for story reasons. I doubt it’ll be the same for Sumeru
This was me when Itto released. I started the game for Itto & realized I had to grind all the way to Inazuma.

Time limited events should just not be a thing, I really like genshin but I'm an absolute casual player so I've been missing out of so many events. I get there's like seasonal events, but man I just don't have the time to keep up sadly...
Games in general always have events that are time limited, thats just the way it is. It wouldnt be called an event if it wasnt
Of course there are exceptions but yea keyword is exceptions
Honestly same and I'm still upset about missing like the majority of them and I'm a veteran player. I haven't even been on the game for awhile and even when new events and such come out, I don't play it then and there. I give it some time before they're over.
Unfortunately, events are usually the only way to keep fresh content rotating without getting stale. There’s only so many ways you can keep the game up with permanent content before you’re forced to resort to events.
It’s how games like Genshin get people to continuously play. It’s not just Genshin many games have limited events, fortnight and minecraft and destiny all of them have limited events so people keep playing the game instead of leaving it for another time and then not coming back to the game. It’s a strategy to give players urgency
On my end, it's more like running out of new content faster than the next update arrives
With the limited time story events revealing things and having continuity, Albedo's second event really slapped me in the face with how weird it is, especially when he dropped some incredibly important lore about the identity of Gold, the person who created Durin, the Rifthounds, and other Abyssal monsters that came pouring out of Khaenri'ah when the Cataclysm happened. I was shocked and asking why the _hell_ they would do this in a _temporary event._ How are they going to handle this later in the actual permanent story? They're going to have to explain it again in a way that doesn't feel weird for players who were here for the event because new players will have no idea. It's just... weird.
Not to mention that, if you read the lore from the Husk of Opulent Dreams set, it seems that Scaramouche going to Mondstadt during the Unreconciled Stars event may or may not be canon. So, what will they do for new players? Have the story act like that still happened but without Traveler being present for it, thus having to explain what happened? They're really creating more work for themselves on that front. I get that they're trying to tease future story developments to keep us hooked, but a good gameplay loop will also keep us hooked.
Literally just give us a dungeon with a procedurally generated map and randomized enemies, buffs, and debuffs. It's the simplest thing to do, and they already have the groundwork for it: The Mystic Onmyou Chamber from the Labyrinth Warriors event. Lore-wise, that domain rearranges its map. Take that lore and make it a gameplay mechanic. Boom, you now have a repeatable domain.
One feature from Honkai that I'd appreciate is the skill summaries. It'd be great if hyv could add a toggleable screen swapping between the summary and detailed explanation of skills/artifact sets.
Instead of always having to read a dissertation on how the ocean healing set works, something like "u heal more ur explosion hurts more" would be nice.
What's that? HYV doesn't like toggleable stuff for genshin?
This, switching between Fischl mode and Razor mode on descriptions sounds nice.

The thing with genshin impact difficulty is that most of it is easy, but when a hard part comes around it’s more frustratingly difficult than fun. They need to add more combat options because with the static movement of the characters it just leads to really unsatisfying, stiff, frustrating gameplay.
From a person who finished the Dark Souls trilogy and Elden Ring, Genshin is not mechanically or fundamentally difficult. It’s artificially difficult, in example the enemies in spiral abyss that you call “hard” are their normal versions with super inflated Hp and Attack numbers, combined with gimmicks that change often that only exist to serve rate up characters, and being laid out and spawned in a manner that is designed to waste time. As well as newer mobs having stalling mechanics such as long animations with invulnerability, teleporting in and out of your view.

Ill say this, if a certain strong box leak is true, its gonna help genshin alot. We need only two things from hoyoverse at that point and it would be to add endgame content (obviously) and a way to earn boss mats from different regions not yet unlocked for new players. And for the love of god add raids so coop can have a purpose
exactly, co-op is pointless in genshin. co-op is just 'i've exhausted today's material and i can't ascend my character, gonna go visit other's to take materials because i can't wait a day'. what do you need a co-op for when you can beat the domain below 1 min, defeat a boss in 1-2 min.

Funny one of the most important Issuse is not mention at all.
The New Characters need the New Bosses for ther Materials!
So you have to play through the entire Game, to level up your New Characters, but to get there you need leveled up other Characters, that you don't want to use later on.
Or even worse you start the Game and get a ton of Sumeru Characters and hve to get to Sumeru to level them up, but to get There you have to play through Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma!
The Acces to the Bosses has to change in the future or else New Players will drop the Game faster than you can count.
Imagine if Shneznaya comes out and then you start with all these Characters that you get and you can't level them Up at All!
I shudder at the thought of new Genshin players that may have to go through this, I hope it changes soon.
True, absolutely true. Thankfully, it's entirely possible that you won't have to have finished Inazuma to get to Sumeru, considering the surface section of the Chasm has a tunnel in the far west wall that just leads into an Out of Bounds zone. That's probably where we'll go to reach Sumeru. But even then, the enemy levels gradually increase the further you get away from the starting area in Mondstadt, so imagine having to walk your newbie butt all the way from Mondstadt to Snezhnaya, where enemy levels are 10+ more than the enemies in Mondstadt _and_ you have to beat a boss there _and_ hope that the talent book domain and weapon ascension mat domains there have low level options. Yikes.
Yet there's nothing you can do about that, since it would make zero sense for a Fontaine character to have materials for level ups in Liyue
@@Hai_Haiii Unless they add a merchant that lets you trade for materials from later regions. They could find some way to keep older players from abusing the merchant so that they will still be more inclined to actually fight the bosses and collect the materials, while new players can use it to actually be encouraged to pull on the new banners.
Honestly, EXACTLY because it's such a huge problem, SURELY HYV will do something about that either when Sumeru is completed or at the latest when Fontaine comes out. It's such a huge and obvious problem, there's no way they are gonna ignore it until the end of the game. I will just be curious how they will choose to solve it, because i already read a few very valid suggestions on how to solve it from players, that surely HYV won't have a problem on coming up with SOMETHING. I might be too hopeful, but i like the game(even if the company that makes it is... yeah), so i'd rather just keep hoping.
Tho thinking about it, it also occured to me that they might be ignoring it on purpose. Maybe they don't want players to play with characters the traveler haven't met yet and so they limit how much players can lvl such characters? Hopefully, this is bullsh*t, but if not... well, i don't even want to think about that;;
Yeah, Qiqi needs a huge buff.
In the lore she was apperantly so OP that Xiao and the Adepti had to seal her power with that paper seal on her head.
Hoyoverse should just buff Qiqi already.
The new artifact set was a small buff. She’s not that bad anymore on freeze or melt teams if you hVe the clam set. She just still gets bad rep because she was very bad before the set
Didn't she die from collateral damage from adepti fighting eachother?
@@RitinhaGE just like kokomi, literally other players are crapping on her but with the new clam set they got their mouth shut.

The most annoying thing in genshin impact is artifact storage management. Having to exhange or delete trash artifacts is tiring
They should have a system like borderlands to dump all the trash rolled guns, when you pick them up set auto trash filters. Then press a junk button to get rid of them with an option to either turn them into artifact exp or mora
In borderlands 3 = No not purple or legendary with no annointment = auto trash
Consider yourselF BLESSED for having that problem.. Im a lvl56 nd i still need to grind for hours just to level up one artifact after i even get a good one.
I never had this problem. It's the least of my problems. I have like 400/1500 whenever I get an upgradable artifact, I level it using the other artifacts.
I have the opposite problem Im running low on artifacts (only 700) its not that I cant clear domains its just that its too boring
Full on agree with you
The fact that Yelan's banner outsold Raiden's, to me, is a sign that it will still last longer than we think. Maybe time will prove me wrong, but at this point, HYV have made more than enough money to pay for the rest of development. And you know that with each new region, people will return and spend more.
Which is surprising considering Raidon had an unbelievable quest. Probably the only one in the past like year that i wasn’t bored playing through. Yelan’s was def nowhere near that level of cinematic - story telling.
To be fair they already have enough money to finish the entire game without earning a single penny and still have money to buy expensive stuff for themselves.
New metricts show that game is literally at its most popular, almost having 2x its original players at launch, the game is doing better then fine, its doing fantastic at the moment, Just beause a few youtubers and hardocre players complain, doesn't mean most people are actually unhappy with the game, and the stats only prove it.
@@darekpower no shit mate, every game that didn't suffer a crisis is doing better than when it launched. But one thing's for sure is that the honeymoon period is ending and the game is already loosing views online and is already starting to have a decline in current players playing at a moment.
@@thegamerfe8751 lmao no it's not, it's still gaining players month after month, literally at its peak ATM. TH-camrs views are down coz they make garbage content on how the game is dying and people are tired of hearing that shit over and over.
One thing they could do to help with the "I've got this character but his ascenscion materials are 36 adventure ranks ahead of me" is to have regional standard banners (which should of course either cost less primos or have a better pity than the time limited ones) so you could unlock them as you unlock regions. So, at the start, you only get the Mondstat banner, get through the archon quest, go to Liyue, unlock that banner and so on. That way you at least don't get any characters you can't upgrade right now.
What's funny about HoYoverse pandering their cringe ads in order to attract new players is that, if someone is just starting out Genshin today, they are already missing out 40% of important stuff related to the lore of the game that has been capped behind limited time events that are never coming back. That alone should be enough for new players to keep this game at bay. They will never be able to experience Genshin Impact to the fullest like the people who's been playing the game since they one. That ain't fair, and that's why I would never reccomend this game for anybody.

I would love to see Teccy react to Vars II's video essays, he explains every topic with laser accuracy and always has good takes
yeah, Vars makes good content
Vars takes are shit xD I like the guy, very nice voice and seems genuine, but he obviously doesn't now much about the game. if you're curious I recommend the "Genshin court" episode on him (the author is fact checking Genshin content creators, Tectone has an episode too)
@@akwaMartyna I've taken your word for it and watched the first half of his video (where he talks about Keqing and electro). It's pretty terrible. Half of the time he argues pointlessly against things generally accepted by the majority of the community, the other half of the time he's misinterpreting Vars. Apologies in advance for the wall of text, but I feel it's necessary to address everything I saw in the video.
I have no idea why Flip has an issue with Vars calling Xiangling a top tier support and Tartaglia a main dps. Most theorycrafters and community members will agree that Vars is right and just adding some thud sound effects with a zoom-in won't make his argument better.
There is a part in the video where Vars argues that Keqing's burst is badly designed because it has a backloaded instance of high damage at the end and Flip misinterprets this as Vars complaining about electro's bad elemental reactions. What should be immediately obvious is that Vars is pointing out that enemies are likely either out of range or already dead by the time the burst ends. This is the same principle behind people complaining that Eula's burst takes too long to activate and most enemies are dead by the time it pops.
Flip also complains about abyss usage rates and how they have a negative statistical effect on 4-star characters. He would be correct if it wasn't for the fact that "meta" 4-star characters (Bennett, Xingqiu, Xiangling, etc.) maintain an extremely high usage rate despite everyone owning them. Additionally, he insists that using abyss usage rates constitutes a data set issue (statistically speaking), but the data is gathered from top abyss players who can make use of any character at their highest potential, so I don't see how this would make the data particularly inaccurate. If anything, it's better to listen to the advanced players.
His takes about electro are also misguided. He seemingly has an issue with Vars calling electro the worst/second-worst element in the game. Again, the overwhelming majority of theorycrafters will agree with Vars. When have you seen an electro character other than Raiden being praised for their damage? He goes on about how electro can proc multiple simultaneous reactions but forgets that Melt and Vaporize are still purely stronger compared to Electro-Chargued due to their multiplicative scaling (while Overloaded annoyingly knocks enemies away, causing you to miss some attacks). Raiden national isn't a strong team because electro is a strong element, it's strong because the supports are strong and Raiden herself is strong.
The core of the issue is that Vars is right and electro sucks as an element. Superconduct is only for physical damage characters, Overloaded is a worse version of Vaporize and Electro-Charged is relatively weak compared to multiplicative reactions. Raiden is the only electro character that gets used as a DPS, and that's because Raiden herself is strong, not electro.
@@spukyon alright, from what you've written I can see that you're a casual player and there's nothing wrong with that but I don't think we'll be able to discuss it. Maybe you realized but the Flip guy doesn't criticize any random content creator, he only criticizes those that speak about meta related things, without knowledge about Genshin meta, which usually leades to more people being misinformed, like you - and I don't mean it in a hostile way, also I don't mean opinions - for example yeah about "electro is second worse thing" - you can't measure that per se so I will consider it as opinion. Still, even though I actually agree that electro is second worst (but electro reactions are my favourite despite all that), I don't agree with Vars arguments and takes on it. Most of other things, like not all, are however facts and "the majority of community" which is something you just came up with, because you can't know what they think (my opinion is - majority don't even know "main DPS" term or they do but they don't give a fuck what it means) has nothing to do with it. Main DPS = a character that does the most DMG in a eam. Now, these are things you can measure. I'm talking for actually invested units because that's what theorycrafters take as baseline. Obviously 5 crit rate 50 crit dmg, no artifacts, Lv 1 weapon and lvl 1 herself Xiangling won't outdamage anyone properly in national. Take Ayato for example, with Xiangling he's an enabler because she will outdamage him, but in his hyper team he's indeed the main DPS. I would go in more depth about other things you mentioned (like, I'm surprised anyone doesn't see how scuffed abyss usage is... Like... I'll be using Kuki right now for at least 3 abysses because she's new but that doesn't make her better in taser than Fischl or Beidou XD and at AR59 i have enough dmg to clear it with physical itto. and yes, I am one of the people providing data because i just think it's interesting; it's more of a popularity contest though, people play who they like first and that's only the one of many problems with abyss usage. However, what I've already written are so basic things that no wonder you can't understand Flip's point if you don't understand them. I can tell that meta clearly isn't your interest probably, I see no reason in discussing since if let's say I'll start getting into electro and mention how OP it's chain reactions are, you'll probably won't know what I'm talking about. However, if you want to I could go over your comment in full detail. Ps. Don't take anything as a personal attack, there's literally nothing wrong with not caring about all that more complicated stuff in this game, at the baseline it's easy especially if you don't care about the abyss. And as I've mentioned anyway, at some point you will be able to clear it with anything. Also, i found this Flip guy recently but from what I've seen this series isn't to be taken 100% seriously, of course it's exaggerated but bruh, we're in Tectone's comment section, that should be obvious YTbers do that xD i agree with him though on series like that being needed because then we see all those account reviews with people seriously struggling because they take advice from people that sound legit since they more or less understand a bit about Genshin's meta, like Vars or Mtshed, but not really. That's why despite having genshin TH-cam channel and being into genshin meta (i just find it fun, not necessarily playing by it though it's helpful on my FTP AR54 account where i haven't got 36* yet) i won't make videos on that. I understand game mechanics and team synergies so i could help people build their accounts but I'm far from a math person, i did calcs occasionally (like to test Catch vs Serpent Spine on my Raiden) and it's hard lol. And i can assure you, Vars doesnt do any math ever

Genshin popularity won't be as it was before but it will always be good enough for most people to recognise it. And there is still like 4 more regions to go and the hype for this game will stay for the culture purpose.
I think the main disconnect is culture wise. Firstly the hard truth is - none of us are the target audience. Their target audience is in Asian students or young adults with little to no free time. The fact that some foreigners complain ...China is used to that. A lot of Asian mentality is that they will always proritize their own market even if it brings less money and they do not like outsiders telling them how they should do things. I get that a lot of this community means well, but at this point we are just creating a toxic enviroment for ourselves, coz thinking that a Chinese company will listen to outsiders before their own people is...crazy talk. Unless some of yall are undercover old Chinese businessman, you will not be taken seriously, so we can either enjoy what we ve got or move on...

@@snowbird7254 hmm... genshin doesn't really take up too much free time. You can speed run the game to the latest content in probably less than a week if ur good (i know some people that do this). Personally, I played the game at release and then stopped playing after 1.1 and started playing again and they basically give out 2x resources per resin for returning players so its very easy to catch up. I've basically caught up to the latest content already. The fact of the matter is that a lot of player sink time into pointless things like farming even though the difficulty of the game scales based on ur adventure rank (which increases the more u farm), so actually if you farm less, the easier the game is...
Genshin being a mobile game can catastrophically hold the game back: Mobile-specific UI/UX design is an additional dimension of dev work can increase the cost of developing features such as artifact loadouts and controllable target lock-on. Disk space restriction means contents must be time-limited unless they develop more advanced space-management features (or superior asset reuse/compression).

29:45 They should make more story events like the one in The Chasm since we got story and an event somewhat tied to the story in a way. The Irodori Festival's story should've stayed as an Interlude quest. Same with Lantern Rite, Dragonspine, and maybe even Windblume Festival I guess but that was so long ago that I don't remember if there was even a main story to it.
Make the limited time story events unlockable like hangout events so that newer players can experience them. They could make them gated behind purple keys or literally anything else tbh. I’ve played since launch but missed a couple events due to real world circumstances and I wouldn’t even mind spending resin/primos to get to experience Albedo’s second story quest and the windblum festival
2:23 It specifically said "Based on story importance" which is true for Ningguang (leader of a nation) and Kaeya (fallen prince of the plot's current antagonist faction). Whereas Keqing is basically a high ranking office worker and Qiqi is a pharmacy receptionist.
Well Keqing is Aether's Girlfriend 🤣
Keking is part of the seven stars , but yeah, even thought she is shown from time to time, she doesnt hold as much relevance as ninguang
You are falsely mistaken Ninguang isn't a "leader of a nation" she and Keqing hold the same political power in Liyue it's not a monarchy there is 7 seats of people that run the country both Keqing and Ninguang are part of those 7
also isnt qiqi like cracked beyond belief that adepti had to seal away her power or something
Pandering to new players but then new players have no access to the limited time events that are story-based, crucial stories at that, too. Such a contradiction. Mihoyo has to make those events available at all times, like you mentioned.
They should allow us to fuse artifacts and take stats from the artifact being used as material. Just make you pick 1 or 2 stats that you want and lock the other ones so you have to be careful what you take. That would ease the burden of grinding artifacts over and over
They aren't gonna do that. It's pretty much one of their main points in making you stay in the game more longer

Tectone be like "The most powerful and richest woman in Teyvat... along with the best cutscenes this game has ever provided, should be a 4*" I think I'd doubt tectone more there.
I think for the artifact system, they should add a trade/sell the one we don't want. same for weapons. kinda like the crafting system. I feel bad for new players coming in cause its hard to catch up. I still haven't done any of the recent interlude chapters yet. im just trying to level up my 2 teams for the abyss and the rest of the game.
I think they already have that kind of system for the artifacts tho? You can actually sell your artifacts for Mora and you can also trade them in the Strongbox (located in the crafting table) for another artifacts. Sadly you have to use 3 five star artifacts to convert it into 1 new five star artifact (mostly their substats or main stat is really bad too). It's also limited to five stars and a few artifacts sets.
I've been wishing for the ability to trade artifacts etc with other players for ages.
dude, just give good artifact rng's and people will be well off. it's that simple.
Artifact set 4 piece bonuses are written like they were written by Fischl
Especially husk and ocean clam
14:20 This is a mechanic in Destiny, it's called exotic armor/weapons. And it's a great feature because it adds an additional layer of buildcrafting.
Not sure if Genshin can handle that level of complexity, seeing that balancing issues have already been prevalent.
Exotics are Dogshit and so is D2...
19:23 The way I see this working out is making 1,3,5 set artifacts. Where a 1 set is a weak bonus or a quality of life bonus (eg. _small_ passive heal, small movement buff, 5% attack, etc.); a 3 set bonus is a stronger version of a 2 set bonus; and a 5 set is like the 5 star weapon bonuses (eg. random bullshit that is generally broken fun). That way if you choose to reroll for an older character that had a 2 and 2, you can potentially recycle the set you're replacing onto another character.
Like for Teccy, he said his Xiao is a 2 Glad, 2 Ven. Let's say a set came out that had a 3 set bonus of 25% Attack bonus but the 5 set bonus was support focused (eg. mainly worked off field). As you're grinding for the support, you can swap in the new 25% attack set for the 2 piece Glad. It's like if you're grinding for Husk and happen to get a fucking amazing Ocean-Hued set. You're not wasting your time specifically grinding to replace the old sets, but if you happen to get it it won't make you made to swap it out.
On the other hand a 1 set bonus may make the old 2-2 set up better than a new 3-2 set up for some characters. In this case let's say the full set of bonuses are 1 set increases plunge dmg, 3 set 20% Cryo, and 5 set is increased shatter damage but 200% for 5 seconds on a 20 second cooldown. That's something certainly worth farming as a 1 piece in the case of Xiao and dps Kazuha, a 3 piece is worth for Ayaka, and a 5 piece that may encourage a new playstyles with old characters (in this case plunging Eula shatters, enabled by Xingqiu and Venti, would be hilarious).
Changes Hoyoverse could make & I’d literally play every single day
- Boosted the drop rate of commonly sought out artifact rolls from domains. Hoyo isn’t stupid they can see 99% of people farming Husk only keep the Defense Sands & Geo Goblets and likewise for the popular rolls in other domains. Just make it easier. The most fun in this game is building several characters. I’d build every single character if I could but it’s physically impossible with how the artifact system currently works
- Double the amount of yellow artifacts per domain clear
20 resin = 2 yellows minimum
1 condensed = 4 yellows minimum
- Make weekly bosses not cost resin
- Reduced Mora cost for everything in the game by half
99% of the time when I take extended breaks from this game it’s because I’ve been getting destroyed with terrible artifact rng everyday & now I’m out of mora. So now I need to go farm mora for a week so I can go back to getting terrible artifacts everyday. It’s the most disheartening thing when you desperately need to progress your account to be able to do harder stuff like Abyss but can’t because bad rng
How about no resin at all and unlimited tries to get all mats like normal grindy game pretty sure I'll max out all characters I have rn but after first 6 characters I maxed out the whole thing is a chore now
You struggle in abyss? Then you probably haven't reach the endgame yet. Abyss is a joke. I wait for it for 15 days to do it in 15 minutes. It's absurd. Wish they add more floors and make them harder
Honestly I like farming for artifacts, but doing like 10 runs and not getting a single one i want to keep fills me with unidentifiable rage. personally, id like if we could craft some sort of item we could 'offer' prior to collecting rewards that either increases or guarantees our chosen base stat. it would still give players a reason to run multiple times to try to get artifacts with good secondary stats- but remove at least the main rage factor of artifacts. heck, if they want to cap how many we can offer at each domain each day (say like... 5 or ten, or maybe a 20 max for all artifact domains) its still a HUGE improvement to the entire system, and hoyo also gets a bonus of people coming back multiple days.
I dont agree with Inazuma difficulty spikes being a problem. It just switches from facerolling everything to mobs can actually harm you if you screw up badly. Unless you want to max star abyss (or some once a year event) there is nothing hard in this game. Annoying at times yes, but nothing is hard outside of abyss.
That said, the journey until you catch up with the story is easily 8/10 if not more. But once you reached the "endgame" there is no endgame. Any mihoyo will probably never fix that.
yeah, but most of the playerbase is casual, so challenge =/= fun to them , lol, but nah, inazuma enemies are not just more dangerous, but they are annoying to deal with, specially in time challenges like the abyss, the geo patriarch dog and the void hounds are an example, they are unattackable most of the time and they move around all over the place, and let's not talk about the elemental spirits, who are almost inmune to melee characters and love to stay in an unreachable distance, those enemies make my klee useless as fk
kairagis are the most grounded enemies of inazuma, they are consistent and harder to beat, but it is clear when you can attack them and when you would have to dodge, you only need to watch out if there are 2 of them so you kill them at the same time to avoid the full recovery of the surviving one
He's concern was for new players not veteran and I have a friend who just recently got to inazuma and he is struggling real hard because he's character are not built well yet as the time he had for grinding is too little compared to veteran imagine me being player since ayaka release I only have 7 fully built character compared to new player who only have 1 to 2 fully build character the difficulty really spike for new player the resin he have used through out his gameplay is low compared to veteran
@@rollingwebs5224 I'm king of new player(started in the middle of Ayato banner) and I start playing the game without locking for guides and of course I didn't use resin but I really notice the bug difference that talents and artifacts can make and how hard is to level both but then I finally watch 1 video about Genshin routine and use that to farms 1 star artifacts and of course I notice which characters could help me be alive longer I only level up Noelle Beidou and Barbara and it was very fast until I finally finish the main archon wursts in both regions and going to Inazuma with ar35 and all enemies was complete easy because I use all my random 4star artifacts that I got without using resin. Just 1 month ago I started to use element reaction because started to have interest in the SA but generally I just casually did reaction like overload xiangling Beidou or crystalization with Noelle. Because I did not have many character until finally getting a guaranteed 5 star that I wanted and with that came lots of new 4 stars. People exaggerate on how bad new player have playing the game. I started v cause I wanted Ayaka but I knew that it will be long before I can use her as a new player without books mora and all new materials. But in reality it was not that difficult with only struggling with leveling up talents.
@@rollingwebs5224 I mean I'd say to your friend not to do inazuma just yet and just farm stuff first and get stronger or else inazuma isn't gonna be fun
@@doomster8614 but if he do that he won't be able to play the current limited events it's also said in video that it's one of the major problems new player can't participate in current event if they did not finished the latest quest so your opinion might be good but in turn they won't be able to participate in new limited events that a couple of wish and there's also limited items, weapon they can miss without doing the latest content
That guy in video was brain dead using a 0 artifact lvl 24 amber against a lvl 88 hilichurl and crying about it being too hard.
Genshin content in a nutshell
Create new character > Introduce and hype up new character > release said character along with an update(could be a minor or major update) > instantly make millions of $ just bec. Of new character(+ weapon).
Outside of that Genshin is basically an artifact farming, resin burning, abyss reset waiting, do your daily commission within 15 mins. Type of game, no end game content like raids, or permanent fun co-op stuff. You couldn't even grind if you wanted to since once you 100% an area there's no reason to go back there unless the game forces you to do so with events and quests.
I really wish hoyoverse make use of the co-op feature. the last time they use it was the first lantern rite event theatre mechanicus...
I actually didnt notice a difficulty spike, didnt know new players had this issue
same
i started on ayaka banner and it wasn’t difficult at all
Probably for speedrunners you have a lot of time grinding ar exp to get to inazuma so you probably have decent enough builds to beat inazuma difficulty by the time you get there
New player here who joined once Inazuma's main storyline was complete. Was Inazuma a bit harder than Liyue? Sure. Was it too hard? Hell no lol.
I would say more tedious, specially in the abyss, where they waste soo much time jumping around all over the place before being able to be hit/damaged and their hp is so bloated that it actually becomes a challenge, but for the wrong reasons (gameplay mechanics are bad)
They should make a abyss like door where you can go in and get the options to download all the previous events like theater mechanics and windtrace.
Then you can play them there and mobile players with low storage can choose to install and delete the game modes as they please.
And pc players will be set free from those restraints.
Hey Tectone, If you want to spend more than 800 Resin on Sumeru's release you can recharge your resin without spending it everyday until Sumeru's release. It's not the best option, but it's an option.
One thing I absolutely despise are the Artifacts. I don’t mind the idea of farming them but it’s frustrating that I constantly get trash artifacts after entering the artifacts domain so SO many times. Pulling for a character is already hard enough, but they seem to make the artifacts ten times worse to grind for.
Yeah, I will just say for sure that Tectone is the one who's wrong on the Ningguang and Kaeya thing, not the video. Because it even said in the video, *based on lore. I am still kinda angry Ningguang isn't a 5 star from how important she is to the story and the crazy shit she does in it, the whole end of the liyue archon quest, she did more than some of the adepti. And Kaeya is rival to Dainsleif in terms of importance. Tectone just has an issue of being blinding by ingame power and ignoring the characters lore power. Not to slight him in any way, but just hope that's understood.
It’s not even really his fault. He just doesn’t read.
@@Muongoing.97c its mostly mihoyo’s fault for not putting such important thing in the story, maybe they will but for now i dont blame casuals who know nothing about the lore
I find it pretty stupid too. Archon's rule a whole nation, they are 5 stars. Similar to Jean being just the "acting" grand Master makes her a 5-star. So ningguang who runs the nation of Liyue and is the official tianquan of the nation, they decide to make her a 4 star? She literally made guizhong ballistas, made a sub space for the fight of osial and sacrificed her jade chamber for the sake of liyue's safety. You'd surely not think such an important character in the lore would be a freaking 4 star. Kaeya, who's features make him look ominous and a character who's certainly hiding a secret and is related to his 5 star brother, Diluc who's a rich bartender. A rich bartender got made a 5 star, and his brother who is clearly hiding some form of importance in the entire story is a 4 star. Talk about balance, hyv.
Loving the daily uploads glad you're enjoying it
Watching this video made me very thankful that I somehow managed to watch Tectone's reaction to the 2.3 Albedo event on twitch before it got deleted after two weeks so I can retain the amount of joy and fun all of us had in my memories. Tectone thinking the whopperflower was Signora was the highlight 😂
🌸😹I must ask “what is your reasoning”? What!!? Ningguang doesn’t deserve to be a five star? I feel that is less “genuine critique” and more born of the personal bias of one who may not be adept at playing the character.😹🌸
As someone who played genshin religiously since 2.0 (almost getting every stier character and some stier 5star weapons) I finally put it down and started my haitus to play monster hunter rise with friends. It feels like a breath of fresh air playing a completed game with friends in a community that is not toxic and that is fun and knowledgeable. I patiently wait For one this community or at least some players see how much we have been taken away from when playing this game
@Sata Phan i should of clarified but religiously as in i logged in to do dailies and that was pretty much it. the "chore" syndrome ppl have with the game caught up to me i guess
Ningguang and Kaeya should be 5* characters OFF OF LORE. Not their kit. That's what he was arguing.
Idk I feel like he is justified in saying Kaeya and Ning could be 5 stars. Their kits are so good but their stats are held back by the fact that they are 4 stars. Especially Ning. She has everything a catalyst character needs except the stats of a 5 star.
Looking at Bennet, Xingqui, and Xiangling. Being a four star isn't a thing that limits characters. It's genshin's weird balance
@@mitzi3262 this is true but generally speaking 5 stars have better stats. Those three have busted kits but I am talking about stats. Those three could definitely also be 5 stars lmfao
Well if a player, like me, is more focused on lore than gameplay, I will see the lore or story to the end of this game.
“It DOESNT make sense for the Archons”
How silly of me to assume the literal gods would and/or should be powerful. No, let’s have the little pharmacist be better, that makes sense
The guy made a lot of really good points tho tbh
Well, yes. Lore driven power is bad. Otherwise Traveler should wreck the shit out of everyone and yet she/he doesn’t. Noelle should have insane multipliers due to her in-lore super strength, but she doesn’t. Kaeya should be on par with Diluc but he doesn’t
And so on and so forth. Balance gameplay should be above lore when designing a character.
Zhongli needed the buff
28:10 no I don't think they should keep them in forever cuz then after 2 weeks those events will be left untouched and will just be sitting there taking up space in the event tab. If the Golden Apple Archipelago stayed in the game forever, it would get the same treatment as Dragonspine, Enkanomiya, and The Chasm. Sitting there collecting dust.
Having chapters of storylines (GAA, Albedo, Guoba quest) being time-limited is the biggest waste of artistic and game development resources ever, I really want them to rerun these events
I believe Albedo's first set of quests are actually still in the game, just without the rewards.
Let’s just remember that this company is a million dollar company that has the resources to make the game great but THEY WON’T LISTEN!
*billion
@@Kunoichi4ever4 As an Asian student, you're bullshitting.
they are a Chinese company ..yall seriously expect a Chinese company to listen to western feedback?? I knew what i got myself into the moment I started playing..I am not a target demographic, I am at best a number to spread propaganda.
@Katio Its China ... Its basically like playing a Russian game sayings you want changes and expect them to happen... very not a possibility for the company even if they wanted to listen (which they probably dont wanna). I kinda thought we all knew we are in a gray morals territory by playing the game, arguably on the dark side by actually giving them money....trust me the taxes are not gonna be used for spreading peace :D THe mains reaosn their games and shows are this publicly availabel the last few years is simply propaganda, nothing less, nothing more. Its for them to influence us, not for us to influence them..the moment that d happen China d fully again close down the gates and restrict or even ban the game.
@Katio They care about their games, not necessarily their player base. Those sort of things doesn’t exactly fall within the necessities and obligations of the company.
I just want a charge attack boosting artifact set that also lets you consume less stamina, it would make ayaka, keqing and all the catalyst users less annoying to use, or alternatively they could up the stamina cap, I also would like end game content but honestly I’m not getting my hopes up for any of the things I just said 😂😂😂😂😂, hoyoverse needs to step it up
How to get Hoyoverse to listen to you:
1. Be a CN server player
2. ???
3. Hoyoverse listens
When Albedo 2 event came through on my reroll account, I got to play part one of the story then played part 2 to get the sword. I didn't get the Festering Desire sword from playing part one only the new def sword from part 2. Here's something for new players to consider. This may happen also to new players who didn't play Golden Archipelago part one. It's coming.....
That's because the "Part 1" you're talking about is just Albedo's character quest, which is permanent content in the game. When the first Albedo event came out, players were required to play his character quest, which had _just_ been added that update, so a lot of people blend his quest and his first event together as one big thing, when it's not. Good point about the Golden Apple Archipelago, though. I'm curious how they're going to handle the characters returning to the islands, when not everyone played the first summer islands event.
Another aspect is that , as an old player, artifact management is a pain in the absolute ass, everything that is frustrating is manual, there are no artifact sets for characters, you cant get rid of trash artifacts in a quick and easy way, you have to manually click every single 5* artifact, the strongbox is the biggest sinner in this regard.
among other things, you cant use shortcuts for most of the menues, so you have to click almost every single thing, and the icons are small so you cant do it quickly, it's frustrating as a day 1 player to manage artifacts when the inventory is full, that aspect by itself makes me wanna quit way more than any other one that genshin is not fixing. 99% to me is an artifact grind, and I also need to grind the artifact management to enable the artifact grind itself, lol , so fkin bad
Tectone’s idea on having at least one 6-star artifact that can be used on any character is really cool - helps with saving resources and makes optimising your character easier 👍👍👍👍👍
Very interesting content as always, Tectone! 👍👍👍👍👍
That sound cool until you have to grind the right stats
Oh yeah having event variations of mini games that stay inside the game would be great Jesus I wish they'd add those event games to the game world. Idk WHY they haven't
Day 1 player here. Logging in every day is no fun anymore. I want to take a break but I can't. I have to get them gems...
1:50 this is exactly the problem with me. If I even go back to genshin now that I've taken a very long break, I'll just get depressed with all the stuff I missed ;-;
They buffed Zhong cause CN playerbase was pissed that their archon wasn’t the most powerful character in the game. I mean talk about a ridiculous reason. Next thing you know Germans are gonna take to the streets to stop the Venti powercreep.
I started the game later then that guy and I didn’t find inazuma to be that hard. It was still easy I never felt the need to lower the world level. Genshin is an easy game in terms of world difficulty so that wasn’t an issue to me.
Believe that may be due to Hoyoverse adjusting the ads at some point, so they weren't immune to being knocked around. Remember that made quite the difference when Inazuma launched, so it's far less hostile compared to launch of Inazuma.
Mhy had nerfed some mobs few patches after the release. (Just like Childe weekly boss)
I absolutely cannot believe that the Mona event was on 1.1 and the albedo one was one 1.2...
Based on character importance and lore?
Yeah, Ning and Kaeya should be 5-stars and Qiqi should be a 4-star. Keqing is still the Yuheng so I do believe she deserves to be a 5-star in that aspect.
She deserves a buff tho
She got her buff (denro)! Im happy for you✨️
@@i-love-anime-idols YEAH I KNOW AND I’M SO HAPPY!!! Thank you! 😂
the weird thing I noticed before I stopped playing is that I leveled a single character to 90. Everyone else I left at 80 for reasons that aren't important. the interesting thing is that the Damage scaling for enemies is based on the Highest level character you own period instead of the characters in your party.
the damage scaling being the Color of the enemy levels. (white green yellow and red) when an enemy is red they do more damage and take less damage. I stopped seeing yellow enemies in Inazuma that were in the low 90's after I got just one character to 90. which made my day to day mob killing easier and I was taking less damage and stuff even if that lvl 90 character was not in the party.
Tl;dr: I think level matters to a point, for stat scaling and such, but 80 is fine if you don't try to rush spiral abyss. Artifacts are the core of the character building alongside weapons and skill levels
at 19:53 that "better" had injected enormous amounts of hatred into me like nothing else did in my entire life
Four star artifacts need to have five star availability. Imagine 5 star instructor, berserker, exile, martial artist, or gambler
Literally nobody cares
@@doremonhg a lot of people care including myself so yes somebody cares
@@doremonhg i care
@@doremonhg are you having a bad day?
I actually saw this video before so seeing his reaction will be something
there actually are a set piece bonus items, it's just that they don't exist on 5 star artifacts and when they did they were headpieces. And all they did was made you more resistant to a certain element. So they knew there could be 1 set pieces but then they backed off.
Yeah, when Genshin is still around like 5 years from now I hope everyone looks back at how absolutely wrong they were.
3:11 tectone basically saying most of his sponsors are bad
The solution to the storage issues of mobile player is quite simple: allow them to select what parts of the game they wish to not download, as can already be done with voice languages. Choose to not download Dragonspine, not download Enkanomiya, Inazuma, etc. If they wish to enter disabled areas or logged off there, those areas can be downloaded in the game or from the main menu. In the latter case, if the mobile player doesn't want to download more, they can have the option to pick a different waypoint to teleport to. I don't know why such a solution wasn't implemented yet.
Besides, there has to come a time when mobile Genshin players are forced to upgrade hardware to continue playing, as was done with Final Fantasy 11 and PS2, or PS3 and 32-bit operating systems with Final Fantasy 14, so that the game isn't held back by old bad hardware.
"They're pandering to mobile players and their storage space"
Nah that aint true in the slightest. As much as I would love for this to be the reason, it's not. Phone storage has gotten significantly bigger, you can get phones with over 1TB of storage these days. Besides, ALL events are still in the game files. Including the Golden Apple Archipelago and the second version of Enkanomiya. The METEOR event with Mona and Fischl is still in the game files. If you set up a private server you can play all of the limited quests and see all the little arena maps and the random ass domain entrances etc without ever touching the game files. The reason is FOMO and that's all. It is just for money.
Theoretically, yes, you are right. You can get phones with bigger storages. However, these types of phones are expensive as shit, and only few can afford them, hence most stick to a potato phone, or just play on PC directly if they can.
The rest is accurate though.
@@Ahi_Django I feel like if you can run Genshin on your phone you likely have a decent amount of storage to begin with, at least 128gb. i have 128gb of storage and even i can barely run it, 20fps or less with lots of stutters lol. pretty much unplayable, its very demanding for a mobile game
@@bbjy I cannot play genshin on my phone at all. I tried for.. two days actually, and it did not work out well. What is also a problem is not only the storage, but how well a phone can handle the graphics. In most cases, a phone will get to a Limit pretty fast (most play genshin on low fps and graphics to have a fairly smooth genshin experience, and even then it's... oof). I do agree though. Genshin should not have been a mobile game originally with how demanding it is with graphics, etc.
@@Ahi_Django Yeah I wish it was made for PC/Console in mind first, maybe it wouldn't even have had gacha or timed story events to begin with if it was since thats not really common on PC/console.
Resin really holds this game back by so much. When the fishing system first released, the way I could go fishing or visiting other people's worlds to go fishing and genuinely grind to get R5 Catch for hours at a time without needing to get timegated by resin was some of the most fun I had in the game. When stuff isn't timegated and you actually have something to farm for then that gives us the gameplay loops we need. Sadly the Catch was and remains the only weapon available by fishing-- I have no idea why they haven't added more weapons or prizes. It feels like Hoyoverse keeps adding these new things every patch just to removed them 2 weeks later because they're more interested in adding new shiny things rather than actually deveolope old things (unless it's teapot).
The dude is NOT wrong, almost everything he said in the video is indeed a pain in the ass to deal with... just badly designed.
Make different forms of noblesse. Instead of an upgrade per say. Like after using a burst it buffs 20% attack. But instead of attack it buffs EM by 150 or something. Or increases normal attack speed by 25%. Maybe a set that shreds phys resistance when you're hitting them with normal attacks. I feel all sets should be equally viable but just not reach the same peak for each unit. The healing set in modstadt should have 30% healing bonus. To make it viable for stronger healing Over DMG.
Off-topic but I really appreciate you posting constantly now. It was a really good decision on your part and I like spending a few minutes of my day enjoying your content, since Genshin is getting so stale and I don't know what to do in my free time. Thank you!!
Bruh when he said Ninguang and Kaeya should be 5* he meant *Storywise* not *gameplay.* Like a fcking zombie kid working in a farmancy is a 5* but the practically queen of Liyue is a 4*...
What's also kinda funny to me is I've played genshin for over a year now and only recently got Jean and as soon as I did she has helped me clear aybss so much easier it's pretty insane how much difference having a certain unit like her helps what I'm mainly saying is that it took to pre sumuru to get a standard banner 5 star which is an insane amount of time in my opinion love the vids teccy keep up the good work
35:27 - definitely the most based take about this entire game for me so far, lmaoo. Yelan being hot and fun to play is what is driving me forward rn.
Same with but with Rosaria i started playing when Raiden Shogun got her rerun( I lost the 50/50to QiQi)
16:57 FAX NO PRINTER
To this day my psyche instinctively tells me to farm that domain
EVEN WHILE I'M OUTSIDE THE HOUSE.
Sad how far this channel has fallen. So long original content
the fact that I dropped the game on launch and just started playing this year is so sad. all those sweet sweet timed story quest and rewards are just gone for me.
That's why I am playing the game casullay and made a 2nd account after feeling burnt out on 1st account .
The fact that i have never grinded artifacts, and finished the game and also 36 star the abyss, no crowns and using 4 star weapons.
I don't agree with most of TEctone's poitns on the game over this guy. Tectone didn't play Genshin Impact. Tectone bought Geshin Impact. He just power carded to high power level so the game was irrelevant to him. He has little to know experience with the actual difficulty of the game.
He should try the f2p route to know our pain lol
13:50 honestly if honkai impact added 6-star pri arm upgrades to 5 star weapons...adding 6 star artifacts in Genshin is def not beneath Hoyo lol
Verified?
I'm able to 36 star the abyss, So I'll stop playing this game until the story is finished. I'll watch the story events that I missed on youtube later (maybe 2026).
"I wouldn't know I spent half a million dollars" bruh that's not a flex
Only thing that won’t last is an old gobby boomer streamer like tectone
14:43 Oh god please no. Let's be honest, you'll only want the goblet, and there'll be 7 elements _very_ soon. So you need the rng to get the goblet instead of the other 4 artifacts, then have it be element dmg% instead of the other 4 options, and then have it be the _right_ element dmg% out of 8 options, AND THEN have generally the right substats (ignoring whether or not the substats values are low or not).
Like artifact farming is already heart breaking enough. Don't go and say "okay now do the same thing but 4/5 of the artifacts are now worthless 99% of the time."
