How many millions did they make in pure profit in their first month? I can't see them worrying too much.

It will be interesting to see how much that trends downwards in the second and third months. Was MTASHed hit piece enough to cause a significant drop?

[Lokus]

Mtashed isn't affecting anyone except the ones that weren't going to spend anyway. They made $200m just in mobile sales alone in the first month.

[Lucavi]

That's just an absurd amount of scratch. I can't imagine how many companies are scrambling to follow that kind of money.

[Yuri-G]

hit BP 50 just in a nick of time but haven't bought gnostic hymn yet. I feel dirty spending money on what is essentially a bunch of upgrade materials but ugh so convenient. I'm in this game for the long haul, probably should

Isn't it like 10 bucks? That's totally worth it to me lol

[Kachiko]

Close to two million mora, lots of exp books and weapon leveling material, some 40 talent books (10 gold ones), choice of a 4* crit weapon, a few pulls, and some primo gems. All in all, it's a ton of resin equivalent that they give you for 10 bucks every 1.5 months.

[BerenTebogo]

I probably wont buy it til closer to the end of the period. Not gonna spend for a game I may not stick with and am barely playing anymore.

[Karbuncle]

Same for me. I bought the 5$ Monthly pack back when it came out and honestly thats probably the extent of my spending right now. The Battle Pass is nice when you consider how starved we are of those resources due to Resin but it feels like its just all filler and no substance even though the filler is useful...

Regardless, yah, not spending any more money until I know if I'm sticking around for this game and right now that doesn't look terribly good, barely finished this Battle Pass and i was playing almost daily for the first two weeks or so.

NEW CODE STOLEN FROM REDDIT:

GENSHINGIFT

redeem @ https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/gift for 50 primogems and 3 hero wits

Works on NA according to Reddit, and EU (source: me! lol)

[Tomiko]

Cries in PS4.

[Yuri-G]

tbh gnostic hymn is a mixed bag. at level 50 you get 8 pulls for $10 plus a bunch of free upgrade mats. so basically it's a much improved version of buying gems straigtht-up but nowhere near as good as Welkin Moon.

of course I'm a Genshin whore so I bought it in the end. Xingqiu's ult + the crit healing sword should be fun times, too

Anyway, who else is pulling for Ning constellations tonight. Anyone?

[Drai]

I want both Diona and Ningguang, if I happen to get Childe the cool I guess.

After this banner I’m hard saving for Xiao though, unless we get a Dendro character before then.

[The Stig]

I pulled a Ning back over with the beginner's wish which I used as a mining whore but recently only begun to start using her the last 2 weeks after it was revealed she was a good single target DPS people slept on; I'm looking to pull for her for constellations before the event ends (used all my wishes to pull Noelle up to C4). Even with C0 her damage is really good and is helping me kill the weekly bosses and the Geo/plant monsters, except the water one (I keep dying there).

Oh, while I am posting, the Fatui Purple dude, with a lighting shield and a big warhammer, how do I break his shield? Amber's fire charge arrow don't do much to it and I tried every other char I have (not many). I haven't tried ice on him though (Kaeya, mining whore, not levelled).

[Lokus]

Kaeya annihilates his shield.

[Drai]

yeah, Fatui Skirmisher breaks via ice, had to take level 20 Kaeya into one side of abyss floor 7 to get 9 stars >.> he's my only Cryo character

legit the only enemy in the game I will swap in a specific element for. FUCK that shield. and yes, it's vulnerable to ice.

and yeah Ning is a great DPS. I have her on C0 but with 80% crit she doesn't give a fuck about constellations

[Kachiko]

I would love Sayaka Ohara Ning, and Beido, but not really interested in Childe, and don't want a third bow member, though Dionne could be really good and I need a good ice enabler. Also, Xiao will be an Anemo wind spear user, not dendro.

[The Stig]

Thanks for the tip on for Kaeya against Thunder guy. Time to bring him off the mining rotation lol

edit: another code for 60 gems and 10k mora: GENSHIN1111 https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/gift

[Tomiko]

Good news, PS4 players can redeem codes now!

Also, heads up that they changed the burn damage. Adding in Fischl will also cause Overload on yourself if burning. I'm gonna have to adjust how I play Klee in the open world if this is intended. Glad there's no grass in boss fights.

Edit: Mihoyo addressed the environmental damage: (posted ~5mins ago on FB is where I saw it)

Open World Environmental Elemental Reaction Damage Adjustment

In this version update, we fixed an issue in which "the Elemental Reactions caused by the environment would not accurately scale up with the player's World Level," and we received the following feedback:

The environmental Elemental Damage is too high in the open world. The scaling of these environmental Elemental Reactions with the open world have caused certain combat scenarios (such as the fight against the Oceanid) and certain non-combat actions (e.g. gathering and exploring) to become unnecessarily burdensome.

This version update fix has, in practice, thus resulted in more harm than good to the player experience.

With regard to this design choice, our initial intention was to increase the effect that the environment has on combat and to encourage Travelers to use different strategies in response to these different combat scenarios.

Our developers are currently in discussion regarding this adjustment and devising further adjustments with this feedback in mind.

We apologize for having negatively affected the player experience, and we will let you all know as soon as further adjustments are decided upon.
