Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

I hate that map because it feels like it should be able to sync up to my account and automatically mark things as found. As it is, it doesn't seem to have any advantages over using a third-party map app.

I bought an adapter to let me hook my iPad up to the cheapo projector I have above my headboard. :3:



It actually looks a bit dogshit (because the projector is so cheap) but it's nice to know I have the option.

Lack of BP fates and primos lately is definitely going to gently caress me over on Yelan and her weapon. Have they said if her banner is going to be up longer than normal because of what's been going on or not?

Well that's a drag. I get not being able to put out a new banner and content with what's going on but surely it's not that big a deal to stick to the BP rotation. The compensation is super loving weak compared to that. It would be barely good with the BP. Lame-rear end.

I'm not sure I understand the problem: if 2.7 had launched on time, the Yelan banner would have come with it and the BP would have turned over as normal, so you're not getting screwed out of a banner that you would have otherwise had primos/fates to pull on. Any primogems you got from dailies or whatever during the delay are just bonus pulls on the Yelan banner.

In terms of total 5*s per year, yeah, it's a net loss, but it's a net loss for everyone, and that's not really the way I've heard most people here talk about 5* pulls.

Its been down for almost 2 months now. I have to hope its fixed with the 2.7 patch cause there's literally an event focusing around it where you can make spices and spice food and share it with your companions in the teapot to boost their friendship ratings but because you can't place anyone in the teapot right now its only whoever you may have had in it beforehand. My guess is also that they were doing some regular maintenance on it then the Shanghai Covid outbreak started and they somehow got locked out of being able to fix it.

All the bad info out there just seems to have a lot of people complaining about the game again in English communities but yeah frankly its better than the BP awards as its straight primo gems you can convert to Intertwined fates.

Misinformation has gotten so bad around this game I found a video claiming revenue for the game is slumping with the Ayaka banner and its performing terribly in China when its literally the exact opposite and the new highest performing banner. Like the Ayaka banner alone did at least as well as Ayato/Venti in a comparative 20 day time frame so clearly it was the right call making her the solo. Video promo thing also probably helped in Asia. I dont think Ayakas banner was nearly as popular in the U.S as it was in staple gacha countries like China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Phillipines etc. Though.

I can definitely see Genshin starting to lose steam in North America now with how its struggling a bit to build a healthy community and the sheer amount of misinformation on it lately, but its cool to see some new faces in this thread at least.

That'd be nice, but I can't really blame them for not doing that, it'd probably be an expensive mess to keep synced. The only reason I like it is because I have their stupid app on my tablet, and that's more convenient to have around than alt/tabbing or dragging my laptop over by the tv.

Wow just stumbled upon a whole submerged area in Amakuno Peak with a multi stage puzzle to drain the water that started a chain of events that netted me

-100% completion on Serai
-100% on Tsurumi
-100% on the Raiden Statues
-100% Exploration Completion in all of Inazuma Proper
- 5 achievements including guiding 6 Seelie on Serai, getting a certain amount of treasure on Serai Island, a wonders of the world achievement for completing the whole puzzle, maxing the Raiden Shogun statues, and getting the last Shrine of Depths in Inazuma.
-A whole poo poo ton of treasure with various high level mats and what not
-Enough Amethyst Lump to make Ayaka Anemona Kageuchi
-About 300 primogems
-Enough for a 10 pull and to still be above 20K primogems stocked for 2.7, but it only netted me a Razor who I don't use so bleh

All over the course of a one hour session. Probably the most productive snowball session I've had in the game in months. Basically just have 5% in Starfell Valley, some bits and pieces of Liyue ranging from 3-7% in each area except Lisha which is 100%, and then a good chunk in Enkanomiya and the whole of the chasm and everything associated with it to explore. Also still have 4 hangouts undone, quests to do in Enkanomiya, some books still to get and plenty of achievements and what not so that will keep me busy for a while yet. Pretty soon I'll be down to just what I need a guide for though which I expect for the Starfell Valley and Liyue exploration bits. I'm still in awe of people that have done literally everything in this game as I've been playing for just over 14 months now a couple hours a day. Content patch in a day or so resets the clock on "current" again. It also gave me enough for another 10 pull

Huh? What?


So, we apparently have a credible leak on one of the Dendro reactions from a bunch of stuff that got datamined with the pre-load for 2.7, specifically Dendro + Electro. From what the leaker (whose track record is pretty consistently on point from what i've seen people saying) posted, the name of the reaction is Intensify/Intensified, and if this is true/releases unchanged, it's the first non-transformative damage reaction; the way it works is 'When either dendro or electro trigger Intensified on a target, the other element (the one that didn't trigger it) gains a base damage buff against that target for the next 7 seconds'. A thing to note is that both directions can coexist simultaneously so both elements can be buffed in this manner. Furthermore, we have the supposed damage formula, which is as follows:

BaseDamageIncrease = LevelMultiplier x [1+(5 x EM)/(EM + 1200)]

A graph was also provided showing the Level Multiplier:



Some things to note:

-Because it's non-transformative, %bonus and crits will impact it as it's a flat base damage increase instead.
-This explains some of the weird quirks with recent character kits, like Kuki Shinobu caring about EM
-People've been speculating for a while now that Sumeru's "thing" is "EM Matters", and this would definitely contribute to that
-This could explain why Yae released in the state she did- this kind of buff/reaction is loving insane for her depending on what dendro characters/co-dps may end up looking like... God forbid we get a dendro equivalent to XQ. :stonk:

Figured I'd post it since people are treating it as legit and it might be an interesting discussion point while we wait for 2.7 :v:

One hypothesis I heard for this was a fast repeating hydro application so that this reaction pretty much replicates having Xingqiu in your party. Not sure what good this would do since most hydro applicators are pretty good at it.

I don't think it is good for her. She scales on HP, not Attack, so only the Crit Damage substat would do anything.

Since the only part of the Blackcliff Warbow Yelan uses is the Crit Dmg (36.8%), you'd actually be better off with a 3* Sharpshooter's Oath (46.9%).

Pretty sure her best f2p option will turn out to be something else though.

Yelan doesn't care about ATK unless you just really wanna make her a normal attack spammer (which, given the animations I don't blame you crazy people).

Just on a cursory glance I feel like good bows for her will be:

Stringless - Hydro's got good reactions so EM won't go amiss and this also has an unconditional buff to Burst Damage which is gonna be her main output

Fading Twilight - The freebie event bow coming with the patch. Basically tailor-made for her since it gives her ER for her expensive burst and ramps up on a DMG bonus that works even if she's off field. It'll be finnicky to really maximize if you wanna line up the maximum DMG bonus with her Burst though.

Mouun's Moon - The ATK% substat is wasted but it's got a mostly unconditional boost to her Burst damage. I'd personally still take one of the above options over this though.

Elegy for the End - Not really a surprise that one of the best weapons in the game is good on basically anyone that can use it. EM is never wasted on a hydro character and although she doesn't care about the ATK buff herself it still benefits the rest of the party. ER Substat is good for her burst uptime too.

Aqua Simulacra - Obviously her signature weapon will be good for her. Crit DMG substat, free HP%, and an unconditional DMG boost that works off field.

Yes, 100% HP scaling on E and Q. Fav bow is great overall, stringless R5 is highest damage standard 4 star, slingshot is good if no stringless. Aqua simulacra is a homa-tier damage boost for her, moun moon R5 is technically highest damage 4 star.

The amount of ER she needs will change a lot depending on the comp you're running her in so you can have a lot of different gear for her if you're so inclined.

I'll personally be going favonious for comps where she's the only hydro and will probably level a slingshot for comps with xingqiu.
