Genshin Impact (PC/PS5/PS4/NSW/iOS) - Open-World Action RPG - 2020

[Yuri-G]

finally finished the story for the summer event and

Spoiler: show

Alice sounds exactly like I would have imagined, just perfect voice-acting. no notes.

[Kachiko]

Didn't you hear her in the previous summer events?

[Yuri-G]

oh probably haha, I have vague memories of like... a phonograph that her voice came from I think?

[Obsidian]

The second Golden Archipelago questline had her give a speech through a phonograph while everyone was at a table, yeah. It was related to the order she's part of, can't remember the name.

[Gokulo]

Hexenzirkel? Which is German for Circle/Coven of Witches btw. We mostly hear about them during events and side quests, but they're getting mentioned in the story more and more, since they're very important for the lore of Teyvat

[RalphTheDwarf]

Some fairly decent QoL changes coming. And it happened, it finally happened! I finished vacuuming up all the collectibles in Sumeru, and just 2 quests to finish which require random daily tasks or daily resets (did all the Fontaine stuff as it came out). Now to start working on more characters for the Imaginarium Theater stuff and get ready for the new region.

I have to blast through all the Archon quests from 2.4 onward, lol. 5.0 preview stream is tomorrow though so remember to redeem the codes for free primos.

lmao I'm on mid-Fontaine and I thought I was behind. you can do it! better get started tho lol

[Obsidian]

Clearly I was drunk this morning, I meant 4.4 lol. Basically from the Archon quest/Furina finale onward.

Wooh, Genshin finally getting a 5-star selector for anniversary.

Weapon path decreased from 2 to 1 is also a very good thing too obviously.

Not sure I understand what the 50/50 change it, are they basically increasing the chance it will be a limited character?

Here are the codes:

I think it's basically not going to be a 50/50 anymore, probably a 75/25. There are supposed to be more specific details in the update notes I think.

Selector is nice. Tempted to get my first copy of Tighnari but I'll probably just yoink a Diluc constellation... or maybe Jean, I think it would be C4 for either of them.

Since they introduced the Fate setup for weapon banners I've only hit the max one time, so I was pretty fortunate. It's still a nice change though, it cuts down the maximum number of wishes you need for a weapon from 270 to 180.

Also, the relic crafting thing that lets you pick the affixes is a god-send.

It's very confusing, but from what I'm seeing, it sounds like instead of 50/50 it will be 55/45.

I think Weapon Banner pity is only 80, so 240 to 160 now.


I find it amusing that I'm considering Qiqi for my free character since I want her C6. I'll probably end up getting Dehya though.

So many great changes coming.

[Yuri-G]

eyyy they're finally doing the selector! dehya c5 for me, no question.

[Tomiko]

Free Kachina from doing the new Archon Quest, so no need to pull on the banner for her unless you want a 5* or constellations.

[Obsidian]

I also missed it but they said they intend to add more 5*s to the Standard banner, so next year we might have more options to pick from as well.

Prayers up for Geo lion lady in that case, she seems like a prime Standard Banner candidate because there is no standard Geo 5*.

[Gokulo]

Ohh, that sounds good, wouldn't mind that at all

[Yuri-G]

any ideas for a new thread title? Natlan seems like the time

few things I learned from the 5.0 recap that I think are amazing QoL:

- you can only attempt to craft as many Condensed Resin as you would be able to make. no more error message!
- crystal crafting (blacksmith) will automatically select the maximum you can craft. no more selecting the weapon crystals and then increasing the amount to five every single time.

small but very welcome changes
