Not really as far as I remember, aside from carrying an electrogranum. You get a quest chain which (eventually) turns the balethunder off, I'd honestly just give the area a miss just now until you have completed the Tatara Tales quests which are admittedly kind of a pain themselves.

There is a whole multi-day timegated questline on that island based around turning it off so you can finally explore properly.
Best to start it early!

Catching up on Kazuha's story quest and I appreciated how when he said "I'll use my own blade", the trial character is suddenly equipped with a random 3*.

Oh poo poo, an actual Tsarevich commission today! Now I just need to not forget which one I did 6 months from now when I get another.

Oh poo poo, I actually got it 3 times within 3 weeks! Saved the 1 minute option for last because I hosed that one up a long time ago. Had a mini heart attack when I aggroed the stupid lone hilichurl near Tsarevich, but still made it.

Maybe now I can go back to other region dailies before going exclusively Sumeru.

I got that one :krad:
The challenges weren't too difficult, even the boat one where frankly we didn't realize at first we had to hit all the spots for the updrafts to appear and one player didn't load in was an easy 600+ points. Definitely Kazuha/Xiao city, though (I brought Razor because I'm cool like that)

:( I didn't get it. I did get the experience of jumping into 'infanteater's boat,' though.

Jean also a perfectly fine choice for this. Mihoyo sure is proud of their stupid floating platforms, huh.

Incidentally, I looked at the last set of challenges and boy, I hope they're just overselling the importance of "teamwork" for those, otherwise that's probably going to be a shitshow.

e. I see, you have to steal their boat after you've left the shore.
Grevious misuse of the phrase "nice boat," though.

For a limited event there is an insane amount of missable poo poo on the islands. It's got to be a tiny fraction of players that gets even close to everything.

Is there any stuff on that island with the machine? I cleared it out and got a few chests, but there are smaller machines on the higher pillars that don't seem to do anything.

I don't think there's anything to do now, but I checked them all out on the first day and it basically had Paimon pop up and say she wondered if they had something to do with the big machine in the middle. It's weird that they took that interaction out but I guess it got altered as the fatui machine got repaired.

I kind of assume at some point you had to truck those 3 Orbs you get from the Fatui Quest to each of the three smaller machines but got changed in dev to just dropping all three at the main piece.

Unless they come back up for any outro quest.

Lol they apparently nerfed burning in the beta so that refreshing it is only a 1U Pyro application instead of 2U. Figures they would stomp out something neat. Though right now it's basically just loving up the Melt Ganyu potential.

Convoy mission was surprisingly a) not a disaster and b) doesn't really require much in the way of teamwork anyway.

These worked out surprisingly well for a forced co-op event that involves water platforms and the sorta-janky gliding mechanics.

I just sat on the platform with ganyu shooting at things. Sometimes the enemies would run out onto the ice platforms I created... And then drown

I also rolled with Ganyu, it was good times. Love to blow up the gates before it would be even vaguely plausible to get there and melee.

Yeah, I just qiqi'd around. The water one was fun, because there was a lisa and I'd swear I was getting zapped through the stupid raft.

Second one was definitely a pro-ganyu zone. Much easier to kill things without leaving the raft and trying to glide around.

Looking likely the stream is going to be on Saturday since Friday is apparently a holiday in China. Maybe Twitch won't gently caress up this time even and rewind the big trailers.

The crazies event I've seen for that one is it morphing into a top down shooter like Super Smash TV and you having to fight a pissed off bird guardian deity thing at the end.

I hated windtrace, which is why this one surprised me. Chill co-op is more up my alley I guess!

Been jumping around the isle when doing the event and I keep finding new chests and challenges, thought I was done weeks ago. Crazy amount of content in there.

I've enjoyed every co-op event, especially fall guys. I'd enjoy misty dungeon and labyrinth warriors more if they were co-op too. I know some people cant stand it, and obviously everything needs a single-player option for those with high ping, but more co-op events pls.

Yeah its taken me almost to today to clear out everything on the to do list for the GAA so I'd say so. I tend not to slam through everything the moment it releases with my playstyle and usually stick to a couple hours a day with the game max so its usually only the last couple weeks of a patch where I'm doing stuff like old hangouts I haven't done or 100%ing older regions. I should have GAA totally wrapped up by the end of today so next priority is to finish the Dainsleif quest before Sumeru comes out which shouldn't be too difficult with 13 days or so to spare.

It kind of seems like Nahida has some limited form of mind control or alteration but is at least on first impression another mostly benevolent archon that doesn't really or possiblh cant really abuse it at all. If stolen though like the experiment seemed to try to do such a power could wreck havoc I imagine.

Yeah, this isn't particularly demanding co-op: if people just make an attempt at killing hilichurls and collecting coins you'll probably get the 600 points. Windtrace requires people to actually try, and you had to play a fair number of matches to get the rewards.

They've done a couple co-op events where you're just beating up on some random boss monster, and those tend to be pretty chill as well because you're just doing normal combat things.

labyrinth warriors with 2 player co-op and RNG layouts would be a huge hit
