  • In this video we discuss the new endgame Imaginarium Theater. I discuss the many cons, and the pros about the new endgame in Genshin Impact. This is replacing the spiral abyss for half the month now in genshin impact. So this new endgame could be bad for f2p in genshin impact.

    The game needs new end-game content. There must be rewards and challenges for a reason to push forward and build your characters.
    Breath of the Wild allowed you to fight the final boss without leveling, gear, or late-game abilities. No one said that new players having the option of doing that diminishes the experience of those who took the time to play the game normally. "
    If all you have is Mondstadt and one or two 5 stars like me 8 months ago yeah this isn't for you. but the game has been out 4+ years a lot of people need a challenge for a reason to keep playing, especially with Neuvillette and Arlecchino power creep.

    Very good assessment, I agree on basically everything. The most annoying thing for me was not knowing which characters would be available to invite to the pool each round, so even with limited choices it's more random than it needs to be. I'm a day 1 low spender (with a couple short breaks), but I can't imagine how frustrating it would be if I started in the past year and didn't spend a bunch of money.

    i think the team building part of it isn’t a huge deal. For new/newer players it’s probably a bit tough, but genshin desperately needs content for long-time players. Not saying the gamemode is without flaws, just giving my perspective as someone who’s been playing since version 1.0

      I agree, however I wish they would have given more access to additional trial characters and some customization. I’ve been playing since release but I’ve only invested in characters and elements I care about. 90% of my built characters are either Hydro, Dendro, or Electro. I only have a handful of built pyro or anemo units and no built cryo units so I’m going to be struggling a lot with theater going forward. I barely managed to make it to stage 7 this round and can’t make it through 8 because I’m forced to use arlecchino twice to even make it to 7 and she’s the only dps I have built and accessible in theater who would be able to beat stage 8 so I can’t clear 8 yet. I’m trying desperately to raise and build a few other units I have so I can manage it though.

      @@lindzilla honestly… with hoyo it’s not likely they will. That said, while it’ll probably take a few refreshes to do, I’m sure most veteran players will eventually have enough units of varying elements built that they can clear stage 8 consistently. A lot of the inherent issues with the mode are fixable on the player end by more heavily investing in a larger variety of units.

    i mean it was known that it would an true endgame activity, even more so than abyss, so unless youve either been playing for a long time, i.e. longer than just a year, you would struggle. theres nothing wrong with the gamemode and not everything can always tailor to the entire playerbase. plus its not going anywhere, theres no shame in not trying it until you feel youre better prepared

      @StellaMaytv  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Wasn't it only known a few patches ago? Many banners have come and gone since then. I think anything with reward currency should be tailored to most of the player base, because that's how you get more characters. Also, I finished it day one, and I'm just more so worried about the future of it.

    AR 60 dolphin here who have been playing since launch.
    this endgame literally made me uninstalled the game again since it forces you to have a 4 slot of team for the sake of it.
    while the timer for dps check was still there.
    some level forces you to have venti and the 2x usage of each character on each stages is very poorly designed.
    i wish it was just a cooldown instead for the next floor so it would feel better and not forcing me to play characters like wanderer since i suck at playing him.

    I suppose it doesn't take away from anything, for the fact that it does add a few extra primos every season, which is good. As much as I see the problem, it is exactly an endgame for endgame players, even if it forces them to build more characters only to accomodate for the brutal amount of characters required for it.
    And that's because we're in a electro, pyro and anemo season, just imagine what it'll be like on a geo and cryo only season.

    I can 36 star abyss every version because my teams are broken, however I still can’t clear stage 8 on theater. I’ve been playing since release but I’ve always only invested in characters I care about in my favorite elements. As such, I mostly have hydro, electro, and dendro characters built. The only pyro characters I have built are Arlecchino, Hu Tao and Bennett. The only anemo characters I have built are Kazuha and Wanderer. I have almost every popular electro character built to high heaven, a few I even have multiple kits saved for (kuki and Ei I have 2 artifact sets for diff builds), but the fact that I don’t have access to any other pyro or anemo characters that are built in order to buff my electro units I’m kind of screwed. I’ve had to resort to using Alhaitham and Baizhu to augment my gameplay to even make it to stage 7. I don’t have Sigewinne or Wriothesley so I can’t even use them for help either.

    to me, this game mode is not about using your best teams with the best reactions because the stellas (or stars) are just for show and you could get all the rewards just by making it to the final boss and finishing it. this mode, like any roguelike simulator, is about making the best of your situation. How you improvise with your current boons and picking your primary and alternate cast will determine your results.
    The game mode does still need major improvements though, I feel they have too few of trial characters to use and the lending/borrowing of friend's characters is too restrictive.

    • @StellaMaytv
      @StellaMaytv  23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I agree, but I think that genshins reaction system is what makes the game fun. You take that away, and you are kind of just not playing the game as intended. Its weird that the developers want us to do that.

    kinda sad when other's say "cause it's an endgame for endgame player" or "atleast we have a new endgame" or "it's your fault focusing on 2 team comps" no it's not, it's just a whale/older players bias event, even an account with more or less a year is an endgame player (after you finish the current quest available you're an endgame player) but with less than enough character to access those higher stage because they character gated it.
    So much restriction, it's not once not twice but trice restriction, from how many characters you'll need, only 3 elements and leveling of those said characters. It's but a facade, to let those casual and new players feel left out (like the chalk event where it's a main story but they gated it as an event and every new player after that event left out).
    That's just Genshin does for the player to be left out and have this urge to pull cause pull = possible revenue, and don't give me this "BUT IMAGINARIUM GIVES MORE PRIMO THAN TWICE ABYSS RUN" yeah more like 1 AND HALF PULL THAT IS.
    Anyways i like the vid, speak more for them to wake up and see that genshin is giving us less content that's really an endgame..

      Its certainly frustrating, because even tho I leveled many characters myself. Not all characters are enjoyable to play or build. Like I still haven't gotten a good build for my xiangling. Because shes very hard to build, and I also don't like her character either. So this game mood forces you to play characters you don't enjoy on top of all the rng.

      Only veteran players and whale accounts can fully enjoy this game mode. Even if you do have all the characters needed for IT, you most likely dont wanna invest into them just for the sake of this. In the end, everyone who plays this game clearly supports it, but this game mode is just a big "fuck you" to people who spend their wishes and resources wisely, only focusing on characters they really like!
