Quite sure Dainslaif is hiding some info from the Traveler. He hide that he was the sister companion from a long time.

Genshin has made more money than a lot of Hollywood films. Plus they actually did real animations in this story quest that weren't just canned microwave spin and walk straight/hand on heart animations

Dude. It's mihoyo. Are you new here?

I had the C6 since Raiden first Rerun, but i just C6 him few days ago.

To me he's better w C6, i didn't C6 him at first cause in case i would UP Razor or get Eula someday or other new 5* Physical. But now since there is Mika who cares. Also using Bennet in every comp can got a bit boring tbh

I remember people asking for MYH an option to turn off one of his constellation. I guess is because he infuse with pyro?

Oh, the typical "enemy create an object and you need to destroy it to stun the enemy" recycled game design. It's getting old now.

New trailer on the witches:




Reddit thread talking about the lore implications:

Spoiler

Face of new Geo catgirl, her name is Momoka supposedly:

How much we betting on if she has a diaper?

2nd new character, Inazuma, Electro:

 

[SSfox]

she looks kinda cool, i'll pull her if she's good w Itto and Albedo, or else

Spoiler

 

[Fake]

Another geo shield...

 

[Fuz]

Alice is retarded.


Also, awful character. "I'll do anything for my friends!". Abandons her child to rot alone.

 

[SSfox]

Another geo shield...

We don't know that yet

 

[InterMusketeer]

I'm expecting geo girl to go straight to standard too. Is Inazuma girl also a 5 star?

 

[Dregnel]

 

[Saber]

I dunno, my first impression is that she looks like Amber somehow. Still too early to make judgement of her, but geo sword looks uninteresting to me imo. Gonna wait until I see how her kit works.

Anyway witches...what a boring crap.

edit: oh yeah as a sword she can mitigate the cooldown with Sacrificial, well that certainly elevates her.

 

[SSfox]

Another geo shield...

Oh you were right, i missed this by Pejo

 

[Pejo]

To me, she gives the vibes of a 4*, but I guess we'll see. If she is 5*...

I'm expecting geo girl to go straight to standard too.

This is probably right. We still don't have a Geo 5* in the standard pool. I guess we'll see though, if there's anything to be said of recent MHY decisions, there is no reason or sense behind it.

I hope that if her whole kit is summed up by "shield" that she at least also offers omni-shred like Zhongli or a DEF shred or something unique. Releasing this character after Dehya kinda proves that they're not gearing up for a new "shieldless take damage tank" meta like copers thought.

So no diaper after all, we're back to spats. I would have lost my bet I guess.

 

[Dregnel]

I'm tired of these giant ribbons on character asses.

 

[Saber]

Btw guys, does this geo girl even classifies as "cat"? I mean, doesn't look like she has anything for a cat and that thing in her head is nothing but an another ribbon/ponytails lasher(she has human ears).

She has two tails and cat paw shoes.

She classifies as "retarded".

 

[Crimsondusk]

Definitely an't shoes but w/e she looks alright. Depending on what her tap and hold abilities do, it might be a pull, standard be damn.

Looks like Honkai Impact is getting an engine upgrade to the Genshin engine (custom Unity build). They showcased this remake/reimagining of their first "open area" stage in Honkai released in like 2017.



Old version of the same area currently in the game:



Also noticing that jump button. Hopefully they're adding XYZ combat in the core of the game from now on. It works really well in one of their side modes and makes the gameplay so much more fun.

Tons more glitches/bugs/broken parts of Dehyas kit have been found over the past few days. #FixDehya started trending in both the US and JP twitter trends. Hopefully MHY responds in some manner.

Also I've been enjoying these Dehya groovin' memes.

 

[Fake]

Unity engine sucks, so IDK if this will be a win to HI players.

So I was pissing around in the music minigame and found that you can go back in and play the old Inazuma event songs too. Just pick any song in the event wheel and go to "Edit beatmaps" and then you can (through some great effort) download the original tracks and play them in trial mode only.

Had a few playthroughs of Yoimya and Itto's songs. They seem a lot easier now, even on Pro. I think the Mondstadt ones were an overall step up in difficulty. Shame we can't access these for fun in between events. I want the Faruzan and Candace themes added.

Wish I had an option to unistall the card game. Is getting too much space on my PS4.

Seems like the catgirl skill involves her throwing a box. If you tap, the box goes out and the cats already jumps out of it to deal damage. If you hold, the box stays there, while the cat inside keep doing coordinates attacks until the duration goes off. It also generates a shield on the hold version. At least its what I get from the leak, seems confusing and out of order.

Sounds worthless to do the press version since it's Geo.

Also, maybe I'm just seeing ghosts but doesn't the new Windblume story quest have some feminist aspects to it too? Could those rumors be true after all?

IDK, maybe because #womenday?
Denying at this point is crazy. I played and indeed feels like. I guess chinese folks indeed know chinese stuff. People love to critizice their point of view, but in the end, at least since the launch, everything they're afraid of Genshin Impact would become really happen.
MYH can't use fanservice as they used because China laws, they said this wouldn't affect the future of GI characters design, but is indeed affecting, they tried to sell Alhaitham x Kaveh, but female GI players backfire.
In the first year of GI I remember gaming sites covering more this game, like that massive 40% drop player base. Now, without information we can't jugde anymore if MYH plans/events is really paying off.

Yeah, that clip really looks pretty damn stupid. It serves nothing but makes the player comteplate the influence and power this league witches have. It does nothing storywise, it's to show how much of powerhouse badasses those bitches are. Ignoring them wouldn't make any difference.

 

[Fake]

Thats my problem with anime in general. They stop doing story and go full filers.

Lets go back to the GI main story please.

The tide is still rising on this one I guess. Frankly I'm impressed with the playerbase. Not listening to the MHY white knights and just eating their shit and smiling about it, for once.

Even Kotaku is spreading the word.

Shenhe was really a huge problem, game sites and social media really did some damage to her sales overall.

In fact, after that bs I expect Shenhe this time doing decent numbers with Ayaka rerun. With gaming sites stop this crusade over old games, maybe she can really shiny.

I think her low numbers were just because of her niche kit tho?

Threre are others factors that can contribute to the sales. Character design is one of them. Another point is people 'shipping' her with Traveler, as a matter of fact, MYH get free PR from those folks that make fanart, not to mention memes with Chonguy over the internet.
Cryo is a decent element, Shenhe is not 'that bad', her only problem is being polearm and as we know polearm users lack variety of build, aka sacrificial polearm. In those cases people are forced to pursuit 5* polearm, so end up being a bad move for those who just want a 5* without spend on the weapon banner.

With the help of gaming site pointing out how 'bad' her kit is, for the sake of just mention her 'exagerated sexual appeal', they end up doing some damage on casual players.

Shenhe sold poorly because she is niche and she only works for a cryo team when we have supports that are more general and they can increase the elemental mastery of many characters, being more useful in general and she is also boring, you can use her for 2-3 seconds on the battlefield.

These websites cannot harm the sales of a product by talking nonsense about their woke agenda, hogwarts Legacy being the most recent case.

Remember Eula? People all over the place was accepting she would flop, until MYH release some fanservice trailers (male traveler and Eula dance).

This made a huge boost on Eula initial sales. Never understimate sexy appeal. I remember most of the GI fan pages doing all kinds of memes around Eula dancing. That kinda of move MYH will never do again. Thats what the chinese guy on reddit was talking about.
