Xinyan is my most used character, and I'm quite happy with that. Did remind me that I need to get back to doing the Spiral Abyss...

As for Kokomi, from my current use of her, I haven't found her that bad. Damage is low, but she's only lv50, and with some elemental reactions thanks to Ei's skill, I haven't had any trouble taking out the more common enemies. Got her equipped with the Prototype Amber. I will say, the one thing about her that I prefer over Barbara is that her skill doesn't apply wet to her.

Do you usually prefer hardmode or doing hipster builds in other games? because Xinyan and Kokomi is kind of impressive... j/k

I'm curious, do you use Xinyan as a DPS with a physical damage build or more of a support for shielding?

I do like challenges lol...

DPS Xinyan - equipped with Skyrider Greatsword, and two piece Bloodstained Chivalry/Gladiator's Finale. Got her complete constellation. Honestly, using her charged attack to mow down enemies is fun!

Not sure when I killed 63 pigeons. Don't even remember doing it. I regret nothing.

Anyway my link.

You can collect more but I guess you can only claim 5 of them.... it's kind of weird, but I guess you're guaranteed 40 Primogems if you want

Yeah I don't know why it's Mora and not primogems. If the Welkin is worth 3k Primos, then the consolation prize could have been a couple wishes at least...

The idea of a 10% chance at a reward for participating in what amounts to a marketing department move is just so insulting to me. Just give everybody the reward or don't do it in the first place. They're a billion dollar company and they're giving away the digital equivalent of raffle tickets like a church fundraiser. I could not possibly extend my middle finger far enough to express what I think about that.

To be fair I found the theater thing sort of cute personally. I don't have a problem with that. The anniversary as a whole is probably the lamest thing I've ever seen for a gatcha game. But the stat thing was kind of neat and the presentation was cute.. If it had been a part of something more substantive it probably would have gone over really well.

Sidenote, I don't know if anybody has been following events. But the community seems even more enraged than I was expecting. Lot of not nice feelings going around. To the point where it seems like they did an emergency thing and repurposed some sort of $30 pack they were going to sell for some concert thing. Or at least the wings from that pack are getting given away and 400 gems as part 1 of 4. The whole pack was going to be 1600 gems, some wings, and a nameplate, I think. So we'll probably be getting that at least.

They're getting eviscerated on the google play store and it's deserved. Not familiar with other gacha games, but good will with your community is vastly underrated. It would have been so easy for them to do something boring like double primogem rewards from playing for a month if they didn't want to give the poors more "free" stuff. That way there'd be no way to fear seeing a dip in player retention, since they seem to be operating under this weird belief that being generous = people not playing.

 

[Hardy]

It's just silly that people are tanking the reviews of their other games though. Like leaving a "Genshin's anniversary was shit, 1*" on Honkai 3rd is pretty dumb.

Yeah, this was such an avoidable problem for them. They really did this to themselves and should have seen it coming long beforehand. We all did right?

I feel like I can sort of understand how this happens though. The stupidity of buisness buracracy makes this sort of thing happen. Often the problem is that all of these game run on a "value system" where they assign every in game thing a dollar value. Resin, Mora, Gems, characters they all have a value assigned to them. They use this calcluate in game rewards, drop rates, all sorts of things.

So often when companies give something away a fallacy is created where they see it as giving away money. Because of the arbitrary value assigned to those digital assets (with little to no inherent value). Can't really cause inflation by giving free pulls on a slot machine. So the business people, being business people, try to go for the minimum viable product. The problem is that's the wrong calculation to make on an anniversary in gatcha. Because in a gatcha game an anniversary is the time when a game gives incentives to keep players happy and to draw in new players. It's not the time to take the "How cheap a birthday present can I get this person without them noticing?" approach and that's exactly what they did.

It's just silly that people are tanking the reviews of their other games though. Like leaving a "Genshin's anniversary was shit, 1*" on Honkai 3rd is pretty dumb.

It's the same company but yeah it's blaming the wrong people Honkai's known for good anniversary events actually. I'm sure it's a whole different production team.

Mihoyo have progressively gotten worse with the rewards for Genshin tbh, the "rewards" for this anniversary are downright the worst I've seen for any gacha I think.

Not really, it's the opposite. The game has always been considered stingy, but originally when they started doing limited events they made that cost resin and quickly nipped that shit in the bud given the feedback. There's a lot more busy work and maybe not all of them are hits, but the reward structure is definitely better now than it was.

 

[Ellenate]

All this outrage should've taken place before making them a multi-million dollar company...

Mihoyo:

"Man it's way too late,
it's way too late (x2),
you can't f*** with us!"

I imagine they've snaked their talent too; looking at the dips in quality with the writing and overall handling.

 

[xi0]

The conclusion to the main storyline in Inazuma is underwhelming, but I wouldn't say anything else about it has dipped. Plus, Honkai Impact already made them pretty damn wealthy.

 

[Jammin]

I also think that Genshin has gotten better in some ways. A lot of the content drops have been pretty good, IMO. Stuff like the fishing and the housing updates were really cool. And I'm still pretty happy with where the main story parts are at quality wise.

Unfortunately in other areas. I think they've been really slow to progress.

Like most often I'd say events in Genshin are typically not very fun or rewarding. With the exception of the events where there is a 4 star character or weapon on offer. Which I understand is probably too generous for them to do every time. But they should be able to find some sort of middle ground there. Noboby wants or needs mid tier exp cards. So why are they the most common reward along with like low teir weapon upgrade mats? I'm sure on cost analysis spreadsheet somewhere the value of those things seems right. But in reality the value is near zero to players.
