Excellent OP Xun. I think you can unlock a way to bank resin a bit? Not there yet on the Liyue quests.

The best change in 1.1 is now you can move the camera while talking to NPCs like in Breath of the Wild. There are good landscapes to look at during dialogue, and it adds to the open feeling of the world subtly.

Artifacts below certain milestones aren't wasted - you can still feed those to better ones later at a cost of 10% xp. You shouldn't neglect anything between character levels, weapons, talents, and artifacts on your main DPS or team, but you simultaneously don't need to max out any. If you're just looking for something to focus on, I recommend those in that order. If you don't have time or patience, you can do leylines and get something out of it. It's true for everything that it'll be more rewarding and more difficult at later world levels, but that's how the game scales - gotta get stuff to get there. Nothing is wasted unless you're running domains for ascension materials you don't need.

Suddenly talents need materials I've never seen from the big bosses. I do them weekly and I'm taking on a high enough level for Stormterror. Is this bad luck or is the % just very low? Kind of sucks but not really. I'm free from farming those kinds of books.

My biggest issue with the story is that it might take years for the main plot thread to resolve, assuming it ever does. It's an interesting story so far, and I'm ok with some of it coming from external non-game media. Shallow tropey characters unfortunately but it's anime, what can you expect?

Trihugger posted:I've had one green loot get stuck in the ground unlootable and one time where loot fell to the bottom of the water instead of float or spawn on land. It's been pretty tolerable, but I can see someone getting annoyed if it happens to something like a 5* artifact. If you drown yourself sunken loot reappears either at the surface or back on land. No idea if it works for loot that falls through the world or into cracks you can't get through. Try it if there is swimmable water nearby.

The White Dragon posted:i feel you man i had the same difficulties. but as you continue to play you'll find that you have such an excess of poo poo that you won't even be able to spend your drop materials on account of not having enough characters or weapons that use them. It's a pretty big boost in amount and quality of drops, which feels good on the surface. It's not a great trade-off with "tougher" enemies, quicker deaths, and increased material costs. The enemy attack patterns don't seem to change, you just need to mess up less, fight longer battles, and more of them. You do get an excess of stuff, but it tends to be for the stuff you don't need. Outside of bosses, I needed guardian parts and wopperflower nectars. It's nice to get more/better parts, but the guardians took much longer to kill, and both have an attack that can stun lock the strongest characters to death from full heath. Characters that aren't the focus can suddenly get one-shotted by bosses. Gotta be careful who gets those eggs. The flip side is that after you max your favorite ones, it can be faster to bring secondary characters and gear up to speed. It's like a more boring version of how Breath of the Wild's world difficulty scales up. The fights get more tedious rather than difficult. I don't agree that any world level upgrade is a "trap" but I understand why players might feel that way. What you can do is put the game down for a bit. Less pressure if you don't have to push the battle pass or commissions every day, the game isn't going anywhere and events/story will happen eventually.

If your world is picked clean, join some random games of low level players and offer to show them your favorite spots, or ask if it's ok for you to go out mining on your own.

Ashenai posted:Don't farm the artifact domains for 4*s, it's a total waste of resin. It's best to leave those domains well alone until AR 45 (which is when you start getting guaranteed 5*s). Artifact farming routes are a good alternative for leveling up 4* artifacts until you can get 5*s. Unless I'm forgetting another use you'll only need two well-built teams if you want to dive into Spiral Abyss. Try it out before building up a second team. After floor 5, you should be able to decide if this is a fun thing you want to get into. If not, spend resources on something else you want or Leylines if unsure. Spiral Abyss is the best Post-Game content atm, and has big primo gem rewards every two weeks. Some people really like it. To me it's a grind and not worth the cost, but it's something to do and I'm fine when the handbook says to do it. There are multiple things to enjoy about the game and ways to play it. Try everything and find the fun.

On Beidou the Sacrificial Greatsword, with a base 40% chance of no cool down on E, is super fun. Its main stat energy recharge is undervalued and fun to build around. The problem with it is that the only 5* I've pulled outside the initial roll is Wolf's Gravestone.

Pain of Mind posted:Also, I feel like there is something wrong with format of the game that I cannot place my finger on. All the grinding and open world make it seem like an MMORPG, but it isn't and it makes me question the point of grinding. You need to grind for character exp, weapon exp, money, talent books, ascension materials for weapons, ascension materials for characters, and probably other stuff I forgot. However, there is nothing to actually grind FOR. It is essentially single player, so you are not competing with anyone when it comes to gear, and there is no end game at all. There is nothing in Genshin Impact except for the Spiral Abyss, and it is the same boring domain fight arena as every other grinding thing in the game and it does not have meaningful rewards to actually make you care about getting to the end of it. I played Everquest in 2000 and have no problem with grinding, but there was at least a purpose for it there. You grind to get better stuff to do harder content, and the harder content is actually in the game and you just need to get to it. If there were large mobs wandering the world that you needed end game gear to deal with like Xenoblade Chronicles or actual end game dungeons to explore like real MMOs it might feel more purposeful to grind and have something to do where you actually need better gear. It feels like using resin and doing dailies is for some feeling of FOMO where you might need resources in the future, rather than because it has any sort of purpose right now. The only gacha game I have ever played besides this was FFRK a while ago, but it did not have the same tedious feel toward farming because it did not really feel like a real game that you had to pay attention to to get your farming done. Maybe I am just burnt out, but it feels bad when there is nothing to do in a big game world that does not require resin. I feel all this. It's burnout. Put the game down until Cool Cool Mountain is out. No idea how people can do daily artifact or gem routes and not burn out. Can't even do the daily commissions anymore and keep resin down daily anymore at this point. Pulling new characters is the biggest incentive, but I just don't see it. It takes too many resources to get a new character up to speed, and many of them don't seem to exist in the actual story yet, if ever. Am I just missing something to trigger story quests for Bennet, Sucrose, Beidou, Noelle, or, Diona? Why implement characters before putting them in the game?

No Wave posted:Do you think the game would be better with only six non-starter four stars in the game? Of course not. I think the game and players would be better served by fleshing out those characters or making them more a part of the world. The amount of characters gives casual players different gameplay experiences in a nice way. In the beginning the protagonist enters an office with Jean, Lisa etc setting the expectation that party characters exist in the world and have a stake in the plot. Hidingo Kojimba posted:Because being able to pull new characters with different mechanics every couple of weeks or so is integral to this games business model. If Mihoyo put some of that focus towards fleshing out characters, I would enjoy it and possibly put more money into the game, but that pales in comparison to the money another player would put in if they added more catgirls. Also it's game development so they can't just shift resources or throw money/staff at something to get more content faster. I don't have to like the system but it makes economic sense.

nessin posted:Other than Bennett and Sucrose the advantage gained by leveling a support past A4 60 is pretty small unless you've got artifacts to go with them. Sure it's going to have some benefit but not worth sacrificing building artifacts or leveling other supports to A4 60. What's the benefit (Bennetfit) for them to keep going past 60/70 as supports?

Tsyni posted:Elemental reactions like overloaded scale based on EM and Level only. Bennet 60 ascended has 60 less base attack than level 90, which he can pass on with his Q. You get some diminishing returns, but at a certain point you have your carry maxed and leveling everyone else makes some sense. If you're constantly rotating new people through then maybe not. It depends on your needs and goals. If Bennett is your favourite character then maxing him out in every way makes sense. When people talk about the 60/70 I always assume it's a baseline until your resources start to accumulate at higher ARs and you have some to spare. Thanks, good info. I'm hanging on to a lot of books from the meteor event still. Biggest bottleneck is the artifacts. It's going to a while until I have two teams at +8 5* artifacts.

TheFluff posted:Regarding Mona and Xingqiu, as someone who has and uses both, definitely build Xingqiu first, and especially if you're not sure what you want your teams to look like yet and double especially if you happen to have a sacrificial sword. Xingqiu is quite flexible and can fit in really well in a lot of teams and does a ton of damage all on his own as long as you're using normal attacks while his ult is active. He's like Fischl and Xiangling, an excellent off-field damage dealer with some pretty good utility in his kit to boot. Thanks for the Mona posts. Why Vaporize over the other reactions that add damage - electro charged and swirl. EM should come from the person triggering the reaction I think. Does their crit % / crit damage also affect the reaction?
