i mean at that point itd be like 2026, you could easily make a genshin 2 or a spiritual sequel. of course theyd probably sitll add content to genshin but itd be more of a dripfeed.

i can remember a few cases of companies trying to make a 2 while the original game was still doing well and they ended up with 2 dead games. will be interesting to see how GFL2 does whenever that comes out.

e. the flip side to this would be like, lineage i guess. they somehow managed to just have both games do really well and kept developing both of them (and maybe still are to this day?)

sorry, your sibling is in another dimension! now the player must traverse the 8 regions in an alternate timeline.

That might be cool if the characters had different Visions, plot roles, etc. in the alternate timeline. One of the other gacha-style games I play (Lord of Heroes) does that for their story and it's kinda fun.

For me the worst repeating commission is the "kimono patterns" one, but really any of the narrative commissions that don't have achievements or branching choices should just be barred from repeating once you clear them the first time.

That one does have an alternate version where she asks for dye materials, which is nicer. Pattern one needs to be a one-off, though, I agree.

There are a few contenders for “worst commission” though, I agree.

The fact that it's the dye sometimes makes it worse, honestly. Because then it's a coin toss whether you're slamming some slime condensates down to be done in 15 seconds, or dashing around to talk to people you've talked to every day for the last week, to have them say the same things they did each one of those days.

Some of the commission's where you zip around on the electro balloons are rubbish on mobile, because they either don't load the next balloons or luck you behind a wall even after you've killed all the enemies (due to lag), which wouldn't be a huge problem if they weren't on a timer.

Last time I got the commission through the canyon with the big slimes, after being locked behind barriers with 20s left and the barrier finally disappearing with 5s left, I eventually got it with 2s to spare and then switched commissions back to Liyue

Hey Endorph, you mentioned that people should maybe take a look at what women think of the game instead of basing the entire conversation around 'waifu tierlists' but I don't know where I should look so without any idea of where to start I can only think of one avenue and thought of just searching people's accounts on twitter and then following a chain of retweets absolutely repulses me.

I'm not Endorph but I have seen quite a few women stream/upload vods of them reacting to story moments in the game, both VTuber and non-VTuber. One of them is Ying, who made a video explaining how to pronounce all the Chinese names. I don't think streamers really represent the greater community though.

Definitely one of the worse ones is Sparrow Studies the Blade. That’s the one where you have to go pick 3 Qingxin (because the ones you already have are no good for no reason) and then give them back.

The problem is if you pick extras, they disappear rather than being added to your inventory as normal ones, which is absolutely nasty if you don’t know about it

I sure do love doing the thief commission when there's zero indication if some dumb hilichurl is going to spot me from a mile away and I get decimated by fire arrows and an electro mage. The game already has a half-assed stealth system, just use that for it.

There's only like 4 possible stealth dailies so once you've figured them out they're easy to do in a matter of seconds. For the hilichurl one you can even grab the stuff inside the hut by going around the back and grabbing it through the wall.

the best is destroy the enemy towers. takes a couple seconds. destroy the balloon is good too. defending the balloon is by far the worst

also the ones that have you go into mondstadt catherdral repeatedly suuuck

i figured the "protect the balloon" thing was a leftover from older stuff since the implementation we got was such you can just run ahead and destroy the barriers then tab out and not lose, but then they made more of them for inazuma so they're apparently exactly as intended? lol

Yeah I have a few vtubers I'm watching play the game too because I have an insatiable hunger for more reactions for things that I thought was cool. But three people can't represent a demographic without gerrymandering!

I agree with Elira on the breast physics being out of control in this game though. Armor doesn't jiggle Noelle! And you're not innocent either Ayaka!

honestly if I wasn't saving for kokomi and stretched a bit thin on resources, I'd totally love to get a C6 sara and try out different ideas for her, she's got an interesting way of applying her buff, after all. But honestly for such a high skill-cap character she should have bigger numbers, as it is you can just use Bennett for more attack boost and zero brain involved.

It's that for your own teapot, it takes about a day before he's accessible in other peoples' realms. This is not elaborated on in the game as far as I'm aware.

It shows up in your personal teapot on Fridays, then opens up for anyone visiting your teapot on Saturday-Sunday. Presumably this is done because the stock quantity the merchant has is shared so if you want to buy any of the animals or anything from your own traveling vendor you have a 24 hour window to do it without anyone else grabbing them.
