I didn't even think about the wishlist system, I experienced it in AFK Journey and I think it's a wonderful idea, especially as the banner gets more and more crowded, good call!

I wouldn't expect to get ToF levels of movement, and I definitely wouldn't want a mount, but the grappling hook is already in the game, I just wish it behaved like one without needing the floating points, but that's just a personal thing. As for perfect echoes and stuff, new echo sets are inevitably going to get added over time, along with more characters to give those to, so that'll naturally give players more than enough reasons to keep farming echoes, but if the experience is actively frustrating to the player one time, over time people will lose their patience with it, so I do hope they make it a LOT easier to get a "usable" 43311 set, mainly the 3s. As for playtime, I think they cooked with the way Echoes encourage you to play without DEMANDING you to do so, it's a good balance between having something to do without feeling obligated, and I hope they find more things like that to add as the game goes on.

@@Miredio i also wouldn't mind if they buff the grapple, but if it's to the point where i can grapple anywhere, wouldn't that be too OP? like future echos that have niche uses like giving u more verticality boost would lose their uniqueness? or they become less important, new tech that has been discovered(triple jump, mega jump) would be a bother to learn if u can just wait for ur grapple's CD and do it in one tap...it would lose some technically fun traversal method and i wouldn't like that...for the echo yes it really needs more improvement, in my experience tho, i got most of the mains stat that i want and mostly the problem is the xp and tuner so i don't really have that much gripe when it comes to getting the usuable set and I'm only playing like 3-4hrs per day(for now, i might be jinxing myself 😂) and for casuals i don't think they would really be that serious when it comes to min-maxing...

​@@hei4676 I'd love a grapple, but I don't mind what form it comes in, be it a gadget, a character or an echo In terms of actual practicality tho, I had an idea I forgot to mention in the video, which is to have a split between combat/out of combat echoes All the best combat echoes are awful for traversal (except for rider) and the herons (which enable more jumps) are only electro/aero so you have to sacrifice your damage output if you want to experience the peak of the game's movement, and I just don't think that's necessary If they make it so you can assign every character 1 additional echo that WONT have any effect to your stats but will let you use it OUT OF COMBAT you could do something like running 2 herons and 1 rider without having to gimp your combat capabilities. It's QoL that I believe should be harmless enough The resource drought in this game is REAL and I really hope they don't intend to fix it by having 2x events, I don't like them because it feels like I'm obligated to spend my waveplates on them or else I'm just misusing it, I'd rather they lower the cost of everything or make waveplates more abundant so the current costs don't feel as bad. Mind you, I'm struggling even though I'm only building 1 team and recycling their stuff to make team 2, the idea of making 3 whole teams with these resources (which have been proven to not get much better in the next SOL phase at 50) is just nuts and I feel heavily discouraged to try out new characters knowing how much time and investment it'd take to catch them up

@@Miredio the extra echo for mobility is really good suggestion, like there's a button where u can manually switch between your combat echo and mobility echo, and if you're on combat it'll automatically change to combat echo and vice versa, bro that would be soooo goood... and yeah they really need to reduce the waveplate cost esp there's an endgame that need multiple teams...i failed to see how really scarce it is cus i didn't consider building it for endgame with multiple teams, but only as casual building teams

Thanks 🗿

My concern with Taoqi is less about how hard she hits and more about how restrictive her design is Her constellations help her damage, which is nice obviously, but the point I was trying to make is that constellations in Genshin had a tendency to open up MORE options for a character rather than just boosting their existing ones Taoqi is a burst damage dealer and at most a damage reduction support (since she can't heal others, only herself), at C6 that's still the only roles she can play, whereas Noelle gains the ability to go from a support to a fully fledged Main DPS when you reach C6 Is it necessary to give everybody more options as they get constellations? No, but if all you get out of them are stat increases, they feel rather uninteresting and much less appealing I actually thought Timed Counters were considered Heavy Attack damage, so that's a mistake on my part, but my point stands that her ACTUAL Basic Attacks don't scale off of her main stat nor do they have any way to do so This makes her basic attacks basically useless compared to any other part of her kit, which is incredibly effective at communicating how she's meant to be played to the point that I intended to use her as Main DPS and started to use her as quickswap without noticing. Noelle and Yuanwu are both DEF scalers with parts of their kit that don't scale off of DEF, but both of them have ways to temporarily work around it, which in turn means you're not forced to do dual-scaling, the bane of any min-maxer The C6 boosting the damage of her basic attacks and heavy attacks is a nice stat boost, but it doesn't solve the problem since it affects both her basic attacks (the part that needs the help) and her timed counters (the part that doesn't need the help) so it doesn't nothing to narrow the gap in usefulness between the two, much less so if you don't invest into your Attack stat (which realistically you shouldn't) I have a few different ideas for how to go about giving Taoqi more freedom in how she's used, but I'll leave those for its own full video, if and when I get around to it.

It just wuthers my waves, you know?

Absolutely, my point was more-so that the compensation we got as a result of that isn't so much an indicator of good will as it is an indicator of the sheer necessity to retain people's good will. I have doubts about their generosity given they were trying to cheap out on their 30M rewards, well after the game's launch, and only after being called out (granted, quickly after) did they make it for everybody.

Every part matters, I made the point that Genshin fumbled the bag in that they neglected too many things people cared about, and I hope WuWa doesn't do the same. Their combat is already stellar, all they need is more gamemodes or ways to experience it If they can pick up the slack with the story/music and retroactively fix the 1.0 story later (since honestly it needs it) I think they'll do great in the long term

I'll definitely let them cook, but my kitchen has known the horrors of many bad cooks before them... I definitely wont advocate for the game becoming a sweatfest, but completely ignoring the sweaty side of their playerbase, especially whenever they're perceived (Whether they like it or not) as a sweatier genshin is not an option for them, so I hope they strike a good balance between giving the sweats something to do and making sure the casuals don't feel obligated to measure up As for character design, it's grown on me, but I still stand by the fact that it doesn't measure up to MHY, I haven't quite been able to fully grasp why though.

I'm gonna be honest, if Genshin could make it 4 years this game can absolutely go further than that It actually takes a LOT to kill a live service game, I've seen that with my own eyes time and time again As for how they'll fare, it's hard to tell, but powercreep is a real concern that I honestly should've touched on here, if they mess it up, it's gonna hurt them much more than it would for most other games Every game loses players over time, even Genshin had long before WuWa came out, but if Kuro can manage to find a half-decent balance then I'm sure they'll still have a huge playerbase whenever they inevitably stabilize at a lower point (just like Genshin has)
