Dang congrats on everyone pulling 5 stars! Meanwhile I got Xiangling twice in a row on the venti banner ;-;
Hoping I'll have better luck in the future :3 Thankfully it costs a lot of money to buy wishes outright. I'm not tempted at all. if it was $5 a wish though... that'd be hard to resist

I somehow pulled Xiangling like probably 7-8 times and I didn't even do that many x10 pulls. Not complaining though because now I have her constellation maxed out and I love her. I just find it weird I kept getting only her.

wow that's crazy! She must be so strong! Xiangling is one of my favorites, but I just need more variety in my party (another archer so that amber can go do expeditions and never join my party again xD sorry to any amber fans, she's just my least favorite)

I'm not a math buff (and have no desire to do any calculations on this), but the odds of pulling the same character that many times just seems nuts

I'm going to get it for the switch and PC! And Nintendo isn't going to stop me xD

Idc that people say it's a clone. People should understand that not every game is going to be unique.

i didn't really like botw (lol) due to feeling like the game was all over the place and non-linear (as i get overwhelmed very easily and botw was.... very overwhelming) however, i feel as if genshin took all the negatives of botw and turned them into positives. genshin did what botw should have done (in my opinion) i really like the game and i usually play it whenever i get some downtime. i also play with my s/o and we have a lot of fun together. all in all it's a pretty good game

I wish these banners didn't last so long. I saved up enough for 3 of the 10x pulls but I'm not interested in the 4 stars on the banner and as cute as Klee is I already have a good pyro character on my team. Pulling on the regular banner is always an option, but it's risky because you can always get a 5 star weapon and not a character. I guess I just have to be patient, but man it's hard sitting on pulls and not using them.

 

[Chere.]

I've had the game for about 2 weeks now and I'm at AR 35, and I think I might just stay there for a bit and grind for weapon, character, and talent materials because I really don't feel ready for world level 4 skdfdk. At this point I've also done all the quests so getting materials and primogems has been super hard. Mihoyo was already pretty stingy with primogems but where I am now I'm really just relying on blessing of the welkin moon, the dailies, and any events (like the Klee letters and Box o Marvels, for example) for primogems and it's just super sad. I'm about 28-30 away from pity but if I don't get Klee this time there's no way I can scrounge up enough to reach pity again. I wish I could get lucky and pull a 5* before pity but I don't think the RNG gods will be in my favour ksfkdf. Here's to hoping for the best!
Overall, I do really love Genshin, but saving up primogems is becoming a nightmare. I hope that they'll eventually start being more generous with giving them away and offering more for events.

I just got it several days ago for my PC and the first thing I noticed was how pretty this game was....and how kinda intensive it is? I’m surprised some people can run this game on a phone? Wouldn’t it heat up super quickly? And yes, this was on the lowest settings on a new computer too. It did heat up my computer at first but it stopped after a while.

Anyways, it looks super great and I want wait to delve deeper into this game.

I play this game on PS4. I really like it so far even though I have just been exploring the world mostly instead of focusing on story quests. The artwork is great and I will probably want to cosplay someone from this game. I am holding off on summoning for now since the November update looks cool. I want to go for an all guy team and kind of regret picking the female protagonist. lol

It does lag a bit sometimes. I tried the co-op mode once, and I couldn't complete a quest until I kicked people out because it wasn't letting me talk to most npcs. I am confused by some of the character improvement menus though. Like how do you level up over 20? I also don't really get the one where your character can hold random items like tea cups and feathers and things. Most of them just look the same to me.

 

[Arckaniel]

This is the new game I play on PC and I'm obssessed with it! It took a lot of inspiration from BOTW for sure but other games do so as well for other games... To be fair I enjoy this game more than BOTW, but I guess it's because I could play it on PC rather than my switch lol... It's a very solid game being it a f2p where you really don't have to pay for anything, the gacha rates however, well there's a reason why rerolling exists (I know you could also do this in PS4 but it's harder tho) lmao... If you guys enjoyed BOTW, you probably would enjoy this game too, just give the game a chance if you're considering playing it but just turned off by the fact that people call it "just a BOTW clone", because it's not just a clone really...

I rerolled quite a few times hoping for at least 2 gold pulls from the start but then they decided to remove username accounts and now you can only make accounts with emails so I kinda stopped being delusional and just went with the one account where I got Keqing, fortunately for me I pulled a Klee 30 rolls after I got Keqing and another Klee 30 rolls just after the Klee, I really wasn't expecting to get another gold on that roll tbh, I just really want like a sucrose or noelle for their conste but the game just decided to give me another Klee, I'm defintely not complaining but as a f2p, I don't really care about conste for my 5 stars and just want a new character instead AHAHAHAHAHA

If you guys are wondering how fun this game is at least for me, I have like 3 accounts I actually used playing this game, one is AR20+ where I don't know rerolling was a thing, another which is the AR36 one where it's a decent account, but no 5 stars till like AR35 (I got Klee), and last one which is already at AR31 which has one 5 star from the start and another pretty early on in the game (Keqing and Klee)...

i pulled jean a couple of days ago, really happy with that since putting her in a team with venti is so strong. the only thing that irks me is..........how annoying it is to farm for dandelion seeds lol...........

Haha, I feel this. Jean is a permanent addition to my main team right now. Thankfully dandelion seeds are easy to find and there's a lot of them. I haven't tried Jean/Venti on the same team yet - will have to try this! I've been building Diona (adore her) and Ningguang since I pulled a few of them to build their constellations.

Have been enjoying the quality of life update with the reputation system. Added more flavor with the bounties and extra quests. Still no sign of Zhongli, but hoping to nab him in the December banner! Geo has quickly become one of my favorite elements.

 

[Aurita]

It’s too expensive to keep pulling wishes so I’m hoping Diluc will come to me soon

the game runs better than I thought it would on my mediocre laptop and it’s been pretty fun for now! I did hate the English voices tho...so I’m playing in Japanese now

 

[Pondo]

I don't know why I decided to steamroll my way to AR 33 without playing online with other people to defeat the elemental bosses in the area... Everyone except the main protag is at lv40 and the world monsters are lv41-47 and nobody sends me invites to join my game so I can't get any help.
This is what I get for playing on the ps4 version, I guess.

I have it on my phone too, but just playing it for 45 minutes makes my phone feel like a piece of hot coal in my hands. And I thought the ping would be better on mobile than ps4, but it's really not. :V
(Open to adding people on either platform tho 'cause lonely. And my boyfriend doesn't play, so I can't bother him to jump on for my sake.)

 

[Jessi]

I just want Diluc. I have such bad luck with these games

 

[Midoriya]

I’m thinking of picking this up soon along with Pokémon Masters and getting back into feh a bit as well. Unsure yet on whether I’ll enjoy it or not, but I’ll give an update once I’ve played it. It looks interesting, at least.

I just started the game tonight and am having fun with it. I’m not really amazed by it or anything considering I’ve played similar games to it before, and also the fact that I was never a fan of Breath Of The Wild, but I can see why people regard it as a good game. Thanks to @Mairmalade for getting me interested in this, xD. My main team right now just consists of Noelle, the MC, Amber, and Lisa. I maxed out Noelle at level 20 (base stage) and enhanced a 4-star Rainslasher sword to 20 as well, but I have no idea if that weapon is even good for her or not. I’m also just confused on a lot of things with the game including where everything is in the game, what to do, etc. Not to mention the controls for it on my tablet are really off-putting (Why do I have to use a circle thing to navigate? Why can’t I just tap to where I want to go?). Not a fan of the gacha element either as I always have terrible odds in gacha games when rolling for new characters. Nevertheless, I find the game enjoyable and will continue to play it.

I absolutely loved it and pre-downloaded it before launch and had a solid 2 weeks of playing everyday since release - got to ar 20!

Then found out my phone was unsupported.

Then I played it on my bfs computer and saw how non-laggy it was- and now kinda unable to see how my PC runs it as playable...
I still hop on from time to time but I can only go like 10mins before being like ahh other games play better than this, might as well wait so I can experience Genshin properly


My only hope now is for them to do a better job on the switch release and hopefully then I can play that haha.

Still been following all the memes and stuff, the community is great XD

The open world RPG experience isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, that’s for sure. Haven’t played on mobile myself, but those controls do sound frustrating! Do you have a PC that can run it? The controls are a lot more fluid.

Spoiler: Unsolicited Advice

My recommendation would be to focus on quests and exploration to increase your adventure rank. You’ll unlock a few helpful features and earn rewards in the process. You’ll find things floating about that look like little ghosties too, so follow those whenever you see them and grab those floating, stationary crystal-like things as you go. They’ll be useful!

This game focuses heavily on character building, and goodness there is A LOT. Base character/ weapon levels, talents, artifacts, and main/sub stats for artifacts to enhance specific attributes like critical damage, elemental damage, etc. I’m still overwhelmed, but you start to get a feel for it the more you play and you’ll find yourself with a game plan of who you want to build, and how you want to build them. Imagine building a Pokémon team: “How will they work with one another? What stats am I looking for? How do these attributes and effects stack?”

The world level and its items/mobs increase with you, so you will find higher-level/more valuable gear as you go.

The odds in this game are awful for everyone - you’re not alone! They aren’t kind in this game especially. Thankfully, you find primogems everywhere: in chests, from quests, doing domains, free gifts, etc. You’ll have enough for a decent amount of free-to-play rolls.

yeah I agree, following the main quests at the beginning gives you a direction (although i did enjoy my first hour of playing wandering around corners looking for chests), and helps you to level up more quickly.

I have rainslasher on Noelle also :3 we can fight world bosses together when you reach AR 16! they mostly drop level up items, but it's also a good way to earn xp. Theres more story quests to unlock once you reach the 30's, so you shouldn't run out of story for a long time

Haven't played BoTW yet but I'm loving the open world. Started a little over a month now and I'm at Rank 40 atm. Only have 1 5 star aside from MC I got Mona from pity in the Klee banner. Fine with my Fischl for now as my main DPS. Hopefully could save up enough to get maybe a guaranteed Zhongli next time. Honestly never thought I'd get invested in this game but here I am lol.
