Meta players: "Why aren't you doing 1million damage?" Me seeing that my 70 can do at least 5k damage: "Perfection"

I have one in-game friend who fell in the Meta II and Judgmental type and they have been comparing my damage to their own one and kept saying that my C6 Zhongli and C6 Kazuha dealt less damage than their own dps characters at C0( Do note that; my Zhongli always hits over 120k and my Kazoo deals more than 100k without buff per elemental burst already) Like wth man, I’m just a casual simp who love those characters so I pulled. I told them several times already that I can cleared all the contents and 36* the abyss but they still never shut up about it. I also previously just pulled for Cyno with his signature weapon then Nilou and when they saw that I pulled them, they asked me that why did I wasted my primos on useless characters… I’m a bit sad every time I recalled what they said. Sorry to whoever who read this rant I need to let it out a bit;;

Advice for the wishing addicts in denial: always have an alt account that you dont care who you get on it. This is good to relieve the wishing temptation so you can wish but also save on your main for the character you really want

2:50 YOU DO NOT WANT THIS. Honkai has "pvp" abyss. It always culminates in two people getting in a spending race to be just a bit stronger than the other one and continually trying to one-up each other, costing thousands of dollars. Making Genshin pvp would actually lock in the meta and remove all versatility from abyss teams.

I remember co-oping with some real friendly people. I joined to get scarabs but ended up fighting some bosses with them. two of them - a Yelan main and maybe a Cyno or Tigh main - started discussing how much they spent because they were doing a lot of damage. turns out, one of them had spent at least 1k and the other had c4+ Yelan w/ signature weapon so you can guess. and here I am having spent $4.99 I do hope they could healthily afford that though; they seemed nice

My sister is the 'saver' type. She knew that Scara would be playable since 2.1 and she saved for him until 3.3. She had like 600 wishes, got him to C6 and has his weapon r2...I have witnessed everything.

I’m definitely a explorer! i love just appreciating how beautiful genshin impact really is, and remembering why I started playing it. :)

I used to be scared of doing ascension domains but now I can peacefully breeze through most fights at world level 8. When I first switched to it, I was surprised at how well I was doing which honestly shouldn't have been very shocking because I had a fully decently built team of characters.

This video was hilarious. I’m considered a “baby” as I started playing late August although I was triggered when you said already at AR 50 as I hit AR 50 a few days ago. I laughed so hard 😂

15:02 can confirm. I had 200+ wishes saved for hu tao, but then Nahida came so I decided to get her along the way. Now, I’m sitting at 100+ pulls, still waiting for hu tao.

I’m a lore player. I love the lore and story and how rich it can be. The game isn’t flat dimensional and it makes me happy. And my bestie is for sure a gambling whale in denial 🤣 “oh, I’m getting paid soon. It’s not like I do this often” as she does it often

I'm a lore player #1 I love theorizing all the seemingly unconnected & overlooked details from the story into theories & spreading them to others! As far as actual gameplay goes, I went from being the "doesn't know how to build" type to the Non-Meta/understands meta type after being exposed to a hardcore meta friend for 8+ mo. who was always throwing jabs at me for not knowing how to play optimally. They genuinely wanted to help me at times, but could become toxically competitive to the point it ruined my fun. Even when you got an op build, they'd act like it was never going to be enough, even when my characters finally became stronger than theirs! It was too toxic & ruining my gaming experience, so I had to cut it off. Meta players are a whole other breed. I'm gonna build my characters to be top of the top meta, but I'm not going to do it while tearing others down or constantly making them feel like there's flaws in their playing. It's like why do that? I don't get it

11:24 It me! The one that casually enjoys the lore, gameplay, and scenery! :D Aaaw I love that thing about the ascension skippers, it's true, I didn't want to do it for the longest time because the whole world level going up made me nervous but once I did it, it was definitely worth it because you get used to dealing with higher level than you monsters without issue and you get much better drops for it.

I'm not this type of person...but I will GLADLY flex my Shenhe on people because she got and still gets so much hate

I honestly watched this because I'm new to Genshin and I wanted to figure out who to hang around and what's considered toxic. 💀

You forgot about one type of player : the perfectionnist (or hardcore explorer), getting every achievement, every chest, every quest... ... (yea that's me)

3:34 Can confirm. I'll never get that final star in Spiral Abyss.

I would say I’m meta casual. I like to “optimize” my characters as much as im willing to do. I can 36 star abyss. I don’t pull for “meta” only tho, I usually just pull for who I want and make them work. I enjoy the lore and exploration of the game. I dabble in the teapot. I would also be considered a saver as I haven’t been below 10k primos in the last 2 1/2 years. I do wish we had end game content cause I think Genshin has a really good combat system that I wish I could push even further. Im just a little mix of everything honestly Edit: I’m also a PlayStation player but I play on the PS5 so load times are fast and amazing

Hahaha! "The Teapotters" is so accurate! As someone who has 1,100+ hours in Animal Crossing New Horizons and with two well-furnished teapot realms, I approve of it!

I found a super nice meta on co-op once. All their chars were lvl 60 and were doing more damage than I’ve ever seen a lvl 80 do. It was really cool

When I was at ar 35 i couldn't do the ascension quest, so i had like and extra 50k adventure exp and when i finally did the ascension quest, immediately got to ar 41.

I'll do the last aesension quest when Mihoyo lets me choose my own WL instead of only allowing me to make it one level lower

The friend who introduced me to Genshin is a meta player #2 I once sent them a vid of Moga using Barbara to beat Childe and asked if that'd be faster with atk artifacts and he told me "Barbara is trash lol, she isn't worth building". Mind you, at that point I played Genshin for about three days. Also, I wasn't even asking him if I should build Barbara, I didn't even have her until over a week later. We don't talk anymore, and he went inactive. Thank goodness. He was quite a jerk, although none of us in the friendgroup saw it at the time. Out of sheer pettiness I built Barbara as my DPS, she carried me all the way to 1.6 because I got Klee that patch. She's been benched for around a year or so, although lately I've been thinking of building her again because while it sounds crazy, Barbara DPS is actually really fun in game.

to the mobile players: your dedication to fight the lags and frozen screens is amazing.

I am usually the casual, lore/story explorer since I do like to see what the world has and sometimes wish/pull for a character that seem to have an interesting back story or fun play style ( based on what I read and clips of other players)

I guess I'm the "not meta, but know how to build" kind of player. I'm fine with whatever works well with my current characters and thus never felt the urge to spend

i’m very glad that i actually had the pleasure to meet some of the best people in co op. i played a lot when i was on a break a month ago, and ended up spending hours in some of the worlds. we just did silly things together, fought bosses, discussed weather, blah blah blah. so far, i haven’t run into anyone toxic in this fandom, and i’d prefer for it to stay that way. genshin is fun to me the way i play it. and I might not be meta, but i have decent builds, which is enough for me.

14:50 I know someone who wants to C6 R5 Dainslief (when he comes out) SO BADLY that they've saved over 140k primos and they're F2P. Pulled once on Kazuha's abnner, got him in a single multi and has never pulled again since. They're incredible.

I like a bit of everything. Story, exploration, specific characters (and waiting for them), battle and events & minigames too! I can't whale but I get welkin once in a while. I'm a bit on the antisocial side so the most negativity I've given or received is to myself lol (blessing or a curse?) That being said, what people I *have* interacted with in game and in the community have so far been super helpful, understanding and wholesome. I feel lucky

You got me. As a noelle main with a c3 shogun I got power hungry back in the day and almost became a meta player

Seeing Amber used in Abyss 12 to 36 star actually just made my day :D

My brother downloaded Genshin on my computer one or two month ago while I was sleeping. I play for a while and find it kinda fun, but when the record thingy came out, I was quite shock to find that in around that one or two months time, I’ve opened nearly 1,5 more chests than him playing over a year.

You pinned me to the wall with the whale in denial one. I actually started blushing cause it was so spot on

Personally, for talents and weapons, I prefer grinding the lowest level domains for them and then using the alchemy table to upgrade them. Its low stress and low energy for me, and it doesn't take as much time per round :3 (yes, I'm aware that doing the higher levels will reap more rewards in the end, but it uses up too much of my already limited energy for me ^^;)

This might sound so off but I actually appreciate you making this video; it truly helped me realize why I started this game and what I yearned to find and enjoy about it. Sometimes becoming too engaged and strong can be misguiding and can lead of the fun taking away; i thank you once again since I didn’t really see myself in the shoes of another person and how it affects the individual

i have been saving for raiden and the thing you said about people that save a lot really hit close to home

I'm in the baby category. Started about 2ish weeks ago and I'm AR 26 atm. I made sure to read a guide on things not to do early game like waste fragile resin and whatnot and otherwise I'm just having fun enjoying it at my own rate.

14:40 its easy not to wish when building characters feel overwhelming. I hate farming 👍✨

I just started playing and so far I love it. The graphics,characters and voice acting are all amazing

I’m probably around meta phase 1 but when I see my best friend running a main dps kaeya with maidens beloved equipped I lean a little into phase 2

Im quite invested in Genshin. I have two accounts, one fully f2p and one welkin spending. The funny thing is, i am quite luckier on the f2p account than the paid one 😭. So what i do is i pull for characters i dont like that much to be on my main, so i can enjoy both sides of the story :)

I’m the person who cares about Color pallets(I’ll go more in detail in a sec) and the type of person to main 4* and spend all my primos on ONE Gorou con(true story) and what I mean by color pallet I mean wepons matching the asthetic of the character I want it on. I have Elegy but I plan on putting fading Twighlight(sry if I spelled that wrong) on venti bc the wepon really matches his white clothing. I’m also the type of person to main every character I like. My list is Tighnari, razor, Heizou, Gorou, venti, Xinqiu, and Chongyun. I spam Ult’s and E’s instead of having 1-2 dps and supports. Ps: I also only pull for smexy boys like Beny🥰

i wouldnt say i find artifact farming good, but i do be forgetting my talents though , battle pass saves me, kinda crazy how i fit so many of these categories, great video

The best thing about this video is that u have p5 soundtrack all over it, p5 is my favorite game of all time so that's makes me so happy ❤️❤️❤️

Great video Jazzgal!!! Loved watching it❤

I love this. I think I am mix of 5 or more types. I love exploring and stories and building characters, but I don't 36 star or even do the abyss every time. I save for characters I want untill they come out but I will buy things if I like them enough (skins for example) and I'm more casual lately than I used to be

Great video ! 🎉

Love ur content, keep up the amazing work. Ur guides and videos have really helped me out. So thank u 🤗 stay safe

The waifu players. Joined in v2.5 for yae miko and but failed to get her. So far only have raiden, ayaka, ganyu, keqing, and saving for the yae miko rerun.

This is actually fun to watch. I believe that I fit in the Explorer category, even though my characters have just reached level 80 ascension and still have only max. 3-star artifacts on +10 level (honestly, I have absolutely no idea, how artifacts work in this game, while playing it for a year - gg). This is why my world still has all of its combat challenges not completed; fighting to fit a time limit is just impossible here, and surviving not because of artifacts, but cuz of Noelle and Barbara Elemental Skill spamming just works.

I’m definitely in my wishing addiction phase rn the banners are SO GOOD and it’s hard so resist the temptation. The biggest number of i saved was during Kazuha’s banner and that feels like a dream now

Yay a jazzgal video. Always a W 😁

Stop… the “f2p btw” has me DEAD AF 😩😩🤣🤣 soo true ☠️

There're several more which you'd not even thought of. Private server "hackers", real hackers, the photographer, the photoshopper, The lore collector, The one who spams nahida E on Sumeru NPCs The one who trolls with Nahida E to collect resources, or the resource collectors themselves. In terms of Photoshoppers/fan art makers, they can be made into different categories such as meme makers, individual dream work constructors, cross-over makers, and so one.

I feel called out for some reason, lmao, anyway nice video, thank you for the hard work.

The veteran: - probably reached AR60 already - Remembers the good old days like physical xiangling - Remembers the bad old days like 120 resin cap and resin gated event - Still traumatized by the food delivery event - Probaby participated on the very first web event with the weapon called "prototype aminus" The completionist: - Collects everything - 700+ achievements - 100% exploration - Has all the limited event weapons The "casuals": - They love the game offers currently - Knows how the game "should" be played - Plays 15 mins daily - Doesn't mind not having the e-word but doesn't want others to have the option to have it - Suggests people to play other games as the solution for having no e-word - Scared of the e-word - Has excessive anxiety according to hoyoverse (had to include this last bit cuz boi they do exist lmao)

Lore player and explorer here. Yep, you summed us up pretty much. You name it, there is a theory for it. Most likely on Reddit. ❤ (Also a mobile user who can 36 star abyss but my phone can escape the storage curse with it having 512GB, so thankfully the game won’t ever reach that point)

Saw this video in my recommended...subbed immediately 😁

4:53 That's literally me! I literally have no idea how to build a character and sometimes that really makes me feel frustrated towards myself when I see other players who know how to build characters.

omg the yae miko gatekeeper is very accurate XD! i do feel superior when i have yae miko~

I'm a wishing addict in denial I think. I lost my previous account to a BP scam and speedran until AR 45. Kinda sad for losing my previous account, but my current account is actually luckier than the previous one. My first 5 star is 5 pity Mona, then I got Ganyu (wrong banner pull), Cyno, Albedo and Jean (C1) on event banners. The standard also gave me Jean and Keqing And the thing to take note of is the date I started playing. It started from 9th September 🙂 Guess Hoyoverse compensated me indirectly

Something I did to become a "saver" was to convert any primos I got into wishes before hand so I felt like I spent them already. I still do feel the temptation of gambling, but at least I do it responsibly 😅

Probably in between Saver and Wishing Addict.

If you have a wishing addiction, try a wishing simulator. They’re life savers 😅

I love that persona 5 music is playing inthe background the whole vid.

I‘m the saver I once had over 180 wishes saved and didn’t even think of wishing before my wanted character came

10:02 is when the sponsor part ends.

I’m a mix of a meta player and a causal player because I pull for the characters I like but if there are any characters that are really good like the archons, kazuha, ganyu, ayaka ,yelan , etc then I’ll pull for them too

I'm mainly a mix of *"The Explorer", "Artifact farming only"* (You really hit the nail on the head with this one 😭 Specially with the 'fun' part and forgetting to farm the rest because of finding em boring and needing motivation) and *"The saver"* (Almost 30k primos and counting TvT I just don't really get interested in a lot of characters enough to pull, so I have a lower temptation to pull and more clear-cut choices over *who* to pull for and in *which* order in general)

I think you should speak about the "Can I people" (those who come into your world because you are low lvl and ask if they can take objects like flowers, berries, butterfly ect...) I refuse to let people come in my world now

I am a mix of sorts of players. I really like saving wishes for specifics caracters (and my goal is to C6 and maybe r5 4 caracters in the game to make my team, so I am really picky about which banner I will spend my wishes). I am really bored while farming talents and ascensions materials, but I am forcing myself to do it (for my favorite caracters). I didn't 36* abyss yet, because I am always farming for my DPS and not my supports. I really enjoy doing big numbers tho, and I am always trying to beat my dmgs. I am not a meta player (I play Yelan as a DPS, I am always trying to improve my Raiden build who is already good enough instead of others..) but I ain't a lore player (I don't really read the lore of caracters that I am not interested in, and I just read archon quest). I am also someone who really enjoy improving my teapot, but I just want to make some places for my favorites caracters and I am bored when it takes more than 2 hours to make. I also enjoy doing exploration, it's a nice feeling to see my savings growing. I really enjoy the game and I am playing everyday, because I haven't completed my goal yet (as someone who rarely spend money on the game (=10$/year), this will take a while). Anyway thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it!

15:45 not completely wrong but there's also the ones that are going for some 4* but somehow get a early 5* ruining their pity

You for got the people that help out the new players

1:00 Meta guy hasn't lost 100 hp yet, though a frickin Chinese Army is killin him.

I think I fall in the "casual" category but with a splash of not "meta but can build" since I am interested interested in optimizing my faves as much as time allows (which isn't a lot compare to others hence being "casual")

14:41 as someone who has currently been saving for like 3 months, the things you said are very true. For others who want to save but cant, remind yourself what you're saving for I believe in you👍

scarily accurate stereotypes. good vid. as a mix of meta phase 1 and 2, i couldnt agree more on your take.

You made this video right, I immediately felt attacked when you got to the ascension quest people.

Oh that's me @14:43 I know the "pain" barrier so so well. 🤕

Id say im a mix of meta despisers and not meta but can build. I enjoy trying different builds,playstyles and i just do things my own way like that i dont invest in cr/cd at all(i just dont want to deal with that too,itd be hell for me). And like,if i like a character,no matter how much their kit may suck,no matter what ppl say abt them,i WILL build them and use them in a desperate way. But i just cant- I dont think the game is designed for you to solo everything within seconds,do 15-95k/1-2 millions of dmg honestly(no personal offense) While my best is 6-8ks maximum,im proud of it and i dont think its something to be embarassed of... But i actually enjoy the lorr,exploration,teapot and stuff along with that! To everyone out there,lets enjoy the game and let everyone play however they want!

tysm for reminding me all my character's talents are pretty much lvl 4 I gtg go work on that

The Explorer. Your description is so spot on xD Im a mobile player who plays casually and just really likes to explore the whole map, solve puzzles and take pictures xD Now if i could just free up more memory space so that the lag would reduce then i could explore sumeru properly.

I’m that one guy that 100% all the content of a patch the same day it releases and then I proceed to complain that the game has no content.

Some of these feel like you read my freaking mind. My jaw simply dropped. Anyways, I am a mixture of a dialogue skipper, skipper and not meta but can build. They perfectly describe me except the part in which skippers feel like anime protagonists. I do not feel like an anime protagonist but I do look down a little bit on players who are in denial over their wishing addiction. My thought process is simply do what you wish but dont blame someone else if you dont get something or someone you like

Back when I was a baby Genshin player I definitely was someone who’d put off ascension quests so long I’d end up going up 2 world levels at once. Think I was too traumatized from my initial 2 or so entire patches worth of atrocious lag that when I finally got my settings manageable enough to actually aim with a bow and use wind currents, I’d be reluctant to fight things. Also I didn’t watch much Genshin content then so I didn’t know how to build and stacked EM on Ningguang lol. Now I know a lot better than to do that and I’d say I’ve reached the decent builds category. As for my main archetype, I’d say I’m the result of combining the explorer with the f2p mentality which results in a lil something called the achievement hunter type: This archetype believes completing all achievements is the true end game instead of just max starring the Abyss. They likely have an external log somewhere tracking their progress and will do _almost_ anything for 5 primos. Their META content is not TC and build videos but new quest and map guides. When this type says they have nothing to do in game, they most likely really don’t have anything to do but wait for the daily chance to beat RNG and complete a new commission achievement. They may be susceptible to flexing (826/857 btw) and may even spend time browsing profiles in the co-op menu to see if anyone can rival their achievement completion score. And finally, this type is far more impressed by someone actually having the fishing name card than hitting a million damage in one strike because fishing is the exception to “anything for 5 primos.”

another thing to add to the Gatekeepers is about older events getting a rerun (time capsule event like in Honkai) to let players who missed the event, missing refinements, and did not get the weapon. I am not just saying this cause I only got a R3 cinnabar spindle. it is the amount of character development within the said event. mainly albedo with 2 amazing 4 star weapons that day 1 players mainly do account showcase and show them off in abyss clears. a lot of players have many ideas to implement them back in via story keys or a time capsule event for players to play it again. than instead of the weapon that early players have. Just swap it out for a crown for them and wishes for the refinements they have gotten and if they are missing a refinement have it be able to obtain for them. a lot of players including myself would love a rerun for the older events

you forgot the players who absolutely refuse to switch characters in co-op and starts comparing their dmg numbers even tho no one asked once i had 3 ganyu mains fighting like angry stray cats in one co-op and the host eventually just got angry and disbanded the team like sure ur ganyu has 250 cd but why use her 100% of the time in co-op 😩 i personally love to take supports bc i don't want the team to die like 5 times esp in a boss battle

I'm a new player and I can say that I love the lore,gameplay, and characters in genshin It's just that I'm a little scared of the genshin community, never had thought some genshin community was this wild like damn🤣

11:45 Just over 1 million xp stacked up at AR45, won't ascend until an archon quest requires me to do so. Also fun when enemies are 20 levels below me

As a playstation 5 player im usually the first one inside the domain waiting on everyone else, but on the phone or my ps4 you described it perfectly

I'm a meta in denial and a saver... 😩

Where have you been ? You've been gone for so long !

When I was F2P, I did actually get Cyno and his signature weapon, even if I only wanted Candace and the weapon for her to use. I currently have Cyno on lvl 20 (for the free pull), and Candace on lvl 70+, So I think I succeeded. Also, interesting thing, I didn't lose a single 50/50, until the most recent Raiden Shogun Banner, and before I mostly either didn't pull at all, didn't get enough wishes to get a character, or got the character I wanted.

“the whale in denial” bit called me out so hard 😭😭😭 my exact thought process every time

You got me with the casual and the saver haha only played a few months and I've never pulled on a limited banner, so sitting on just over 40k primos. Guess I'll grab the next couple new characters because they look neat

Lore player here, always hunting for stories 😉 but i also main Beidou so i can't afford to be lazy on fights 😁 i wouldn't say that i despise Meta players, more that i don't like Meta in itself, because you will always follow pre builds and it's not that interesting to copy paste it. My actual team is Beidou main, Jean Heal/support, Mona Burst/taunt, Yanfei to support Beidou's counter or synergize with her Ulti. works well enough and makes me clear most fights without taking much damage ad pretty quickly at that (but of course it's not optimized)

I’m a mobile, switch waiter, pc and ps4 player. Who was once a hardcore player who explored everything under one week after Inazuma was released and I’m now a semi casual player. I usually do my daily missions, farm artifacts when I’m not lazy to do it and I’m a hoarder, cause I mainly play genshin for the characters so I’m saving up for the characters I want

im just proud of my candace doing atleast 2k with her skill. its just amazing to me.

When you're a Casual player and still get 36 stars in abyss, take break from the game for 3-2 months and don't have to worry about primogems bc you saved 200+ wish and 30-20 fragile resin and when you get back for that one character you get blessed with desired 5* after 10-20 pulls and thus have enough reason to not play the game for primogems. Plus when you get back there's enough new content to farm 40-70 wish.
