@@aceofpurity their making a joke man it aint that deep

I think many people don't care that much about rewards, but waiting is getting really old, there is nothing else to do.

Also there's the fact that genshin is played mostly for it's gameplay. Other gachas have to hand out generous freebies all the time because the gameplay is usually super boring in comparison, so they need to give you more "reasons" to play like actually good free skins and rare characters, genshin doesn't. Just look at star rail, people are mass quitting despite the 10 free pulls log in event being present every patch because the turn based "4 people in a row" gameplay is uninspired and 95% the same as most other games in it's genre.

@@YGOstratPlayer I agree. I got almost all chars in HSR but I found the actual gameplay and game very boring, time consuming and grindy.

​@@YGOstratPlayerthat's a good point

And it's not just the rewards but there's nothing that shows "anniversary" In the game and no celebration nothing They are detached from the playerbase since the start

I discovered recently that despite my rotations the thing that was stopping me from completing spiral abyss were enemy positioning, doing that instantly saved me so much time lol.

It's not so much that he lacks functionality but more he has to pick between "I suck ass and am outclassed" or "I'm decent for half a rotation until I die". Or of course, the 3rd option, and the one hoyo wants you to take: Swipe for C1. It's just stupid.

I figured a Prototype Amber could resolve the problem of C0 Wrio having a playstyle that tugs between healing, damage, and Bennett synergy. Especially P-Amber Nahida and YunJin C6 in place of Bennett which gives Wrio a larger battlefield to fight in that a small circle. Especially playing with Bennett, you trap yourself into a small boxing ring, which doesn't seem fair for Wrio when opponents can just hop out of the ring and ignore you.

C1 basically begs you to play with Bennett for melt so I guess it wouldn't be a terrible loss but it would still be really funny

No... he still gains gracious rebuke, which is the healing CA. What changes is the CD of how often you get the rebuke, and also some additional rebuke effects

His c1 removed lot of his restrictions like no need below 60% hp anymore also he keep overheal himself with c1 which kinda sucks should be same at c0

all the above people said plus from 50% on the rebuke he goes to 200% which i dont think is negligible

The stars alone make in many case no sense, the most 5* are average, some are bad, good or broken. The 4* are also some bad, average or Broken. In my opinion the stars don’t say how good a character is. Wrio is a good DPS has a lot of team variations, more than most other DPS, but he is not the best in everything and is a Onfield DPS like a lot realy a lot of other 5*. If i can give stars i would say Sup DPS and some Supports are the true 5* the rest is average.

I don't think that Navia on standard would change anything for geo either All the elements have their own OP/super good 4 stars. They need to be good with hyper carries so that people can use their favorites (since most/a ton of people care a ton about seeing their fave character on screen). The others can be meh Electro - Fischl/Kuki Pyro - Bennett/Xiangling Dendro - Yao yao Anemo - Sucrose Hydro - Xingqiu Cryo - Rosaria/Diona (I don't like cryo so idk the communities fave 4 stars, but it's in a great spot, potentially the best) Geo has Yunjin, Noelle, Gorou, Ningguang. Yunjin and Gorou buff specific units, ningguang doesn't do what geo usually does, which just leaves Noelle. Noelle is great if you only really care about off field damage and just wanna stay on her and spin to win, but horrible as a hypercarry shielder. This leaves geo with no character to really get people attached to the element. This comes down to crystallize falling off mid game and not helping with non-crystallize resisted attacks, and requiring high geo application, and none of the characters really support this. Constructs don't seem to be a focus, terraforming was attempted horribly so they won't go back to it. Not to mention, lately hydro has been making it easily to just facetank with a max HP scaling unit and bring a healer than to touch a shield. It's a very sorry state for geo, and I think they'll need to rework crystallize to make the element be valued by the players. They could add something like a thorns or damage reflect, or even something that makes the crystals uniquely interfere with enemies if not picked up, have that scale with EM, and maybe that could be a start. Maybe crystals that aren't picked up can get attached to the enemy, and will result in a big hit the next time the enemy hits your crystallized shield (life bond vibes). This may even open avenues to both mono geo and EM geo teams. Alas, the Geo region has already passed so there's no incentive. Just pull Zhongli and continue with your day. TLDR; Other elements have better 4 star supports that give familiarity with the element to some degree. As is, the enjoyment of geo basically hinges on you loving Noelle, who is not favored much by the wider community. Side note: ...Maybe this is why geo traveler is actually usable aside from the placement lol, they don't plan on making 4 stars that could put him to rest.

Actually being f2p gets you a gold pull every update. 75 pulls is the average for both free pulls/update and average gold pull. And that is still free stuff, even if every single one is calculated to get to a magic number pre choosen by them. Free stuff is free.

Because the part of his kit that supposed to allow him to play without healer and dish out some additional dmg just doesn't work without C1. And if you play him with healer, his passive is just non-existent. Hoyo just want you to put more money to unlock all of his kit.

A good amount tbh. But all chars are functional without it. Even wrio

He already explained on stream why it's not like C1 Hu Tao. His passive literally states that he needs to be less than 60%, which is not happening with a healer. Zajef explained why it's not like Hu Tao. Hu Tao has access to every part of her kit at C0, Wriothesley doesn't. C1 Hu Tao let's you do the same thing, but easier and faster, while C1 Wriothesley let's him use his A1 passive.

None of them are dysfunctional at c0

@@pontoancora dehya.

@@lostblueboy we were talking about hutao and wrio. Dehya is dysfunctional because of lack of c1. She is a whole new level of problem.

What makes me really angry is that despite all of this genshin has no competition so they don't have to do anything more than they need to do, blue protocol is a big disappointement and withering waves beta wasn't received that well, tower of fantasy messed up so much at launch and the only hope isproject mugen

Well, to be fair, the last time i checked our monthly primo income it didn't go down to "compensate" for the free 20 pulls. I don't think they actually scam us with those, at the very least. Based on the second anni primo counts from reddit (and the months before and after it).

The patch will give what every patch always give. They are very consistent on the rewards, with little schedule difference for paimon shop and abyss. And if the estimated amount is correct (105 pulls) we will get the highest amount of pulls since 1.0. The average is 75 pulls.

That's not true. He should know better. 4.1 has 104 pulls for f2p players. Even though i think 20 pulls is low, they didn't reduce the primo income from other sources.

Xiao has no good constellations till c6 c1 is fuckingn ass and you shouldn’t go for it especially if you have c6 faruzan then it’s just worthless people are just stupid and think it does something. either c0 or c6. Also c2 wanderer doesn’t make much difference since like 90% of his damage comes from normal attacks you just see higher numbers at the very end and you think it’s actually doing something

I think there’s a difference between locking a synergistic version of a passive behind a cons and a purely QoL/DMG increase cons that just supplement the base kit.

They ALWAYS use the same system: 1 big event, 3 mid event, 1 farm event. The only exception is when they bring Liben one or two times a year. Every other updates have leyline or overflow event. Nothing changed.

@@pontoancora always? Not in my memory they started to do this much more frequently after Sumeru release. the game before this almost always had 4 normal and 1 big event.

@@symmetry0806 Thats why i dont trust memory, i prefer the internet data bases, much more reliable. We had some exception like 1.1-1.4, where they counted login events as real events.

@@ZenFattyCat.4869 most international second rotations start with either a charge shot or his E going back on cooldown because u don’t just stay on him the full duration of xiangling burst unless u are one rotation with enough dps , if u are not u do turn back to bennet way sooner and start recharging xiangling burst and and by the second rotation his E should be back up . His riptide is never enough to double swirl , it only applies 1u anyways so wehn u bennet burst u will never have a double swirl , either u tap E on charge attack to remove the bennet burst pyro I mean that is the downside of international in general , the downside is that the seeling is extremely high but it 100% has downtime in rotation to battery and for cooldowns to be up , if it can one rotate it is the best team if it can’t it is good but other teams can reach similar or higher dps because they have little or no downtime in their rotation sequence

@@amvbro7033 lol so Ig my Xiangling can recharge her burst way faster than i needed her then, cuz i can already get the setup for 2nd rotation even before childe E came back up, which mind you his E still have 15sec CD even if you does exactly as u said, and if u spend 15 sec to do all the battery stuff then all the best for you ig. But in the case where u can start the 2nd rotation even before Childe E came back up? How would u start it? Well u did say it yourself, by chargeshotting. I never said his riptide alone is enough to override the pyro aura, but where are u putting the hydro app on his chargeshot then? When u charge shot on an already marked with riptide enemy, the actual charge shot should be enough to clear the pyro aura, but his chargeshot also triggered a Riptide Flash, which in turn apply the 1U hydro so u can swirl it and start off the rotation. That's why we need his passive that extend the time his riptide mark exist, so that we can do this technique even after done battery phase and setting up for the next rotation. The downside of Internat part is pretty beside the point, and i just won't be bother to open this can of worms again but Internat is still one of the most flexible and versatile in every situation out there. Its really hard to make anything that specifically counter this team without heavily fck up more than half of the possible team currently in this game, while still offer you incredibly high ceiling for speedrun potential as u said. And being a high investment Internat main i dont see a lot of team that can compete with Internat in all category, let alone this team is still incredible at lower invest aswell. CN bros with their undying love for Childe already prove that.

You mean, the games without pity, with hundreds of characters, with useless and more than 3 different rarity tiers, drowning in powercreep, that need lots of copies to even be funcional? Actually I'm the one laughing at them.

It's not about him being "meta" in this case. He's arguing that his kit is missing something at C0, and the C1 makes it complete, when the case can be made that it should've been part of his kit at C0. I think he's sick too, but for me what should make him "meta" should be decided by his multipliers, and how his animations feel when you play him. I still think he's sick even if they give him decent multipliers but locking something that should complete his kit behind a C1 shouldn't be what makes him feel better to play, regardless of the damage he deals as a DPS

Hell yeh, validation!

@@vary2794 Hutao feels like shit to play at C0 Itto feels like shit at C0 thats nothing new, Zaj is just mad cause he doesnt work with Bennett, also Hoyo knows that the huge majority wont be pulling for him since hes a man and hes sandwiched between a dragon and a archon so making people go for C1 instead of C2 is way more reasonable since who will go after it is the ones who liked him.

@@shimeji_e Wriothesley is a pure NA character. Unlike Wanderer, his E doesn't even buff the CA. His passive CA thing is just for emergency healing when his hp drops below 50%. You're not supposed to play him in healer-less teams. I don't care if he is a TC or whatever. In my eyes, he's just overcomplicating things. He had done it with Nilou in the past and he's doing it again now.

I never understood why when a character needs a healer, it's bad. It doesn't matter if the character consumes his hp or not, I will play with a healer, because I still don't know how to dodge well. Yes, if a character can heal himself, that's great, but there are other characters who can take damage and they also need to be healed. I know that most often it is better to take a shield because resistance to interruption is important, but if there is resistance to interruption in a character's skills, then taking a healer is not a problem.
