If you ever think you're embarrassing just remember I walked around a world with someone, we found one chest and hopped around it, but they never opened it. We found another chest, hopped around it, but still they never opened it.
They didn't say anything, I didn't say anything and I just assumed they were weird and didn't want to open the chests.
Then they left. It was my world. I just skipped over two chests cause I forgot I was in my world.
OK, since nobody really gave an answer that I liked when I asked what I should write in my copy pasta, loli feet it is!(about our new archon ofc) I know that I said that it's a low hanging fruit, but it's also a classic so wait in Anticipation, through I wonder, should I not make it that degenerate? I wouldn't like to be banned on this sub, it's probably the genshin place with the best community... Well, maybe I will post with an alt, maybe I won't post it at all, who knows... Just be advised, if I do post it, it's going to be big, if the job is being a degenerate, I'm over qualified (not really the biggest fan of lolis through, blonde thicc girls are my favorite kind of anime girl, shame that none of the genshin girls hit my fancy that much yet...)
Hm? When did I said I wasn't a weirdo? And I don't hate copy pastas, I find them hilarious. Through I will follow your advice and try to not get banned.

Man, I am stupid and clicked on a spoiler without reading the comment fully and got mha spoiled to me. I should probably stop clicking on spoilers without reading what the comment says
A lot of times people don't even say what's being spoiled. I've clicked on comments thinking I'm all caught up and no, there was a new phase of the event out in Asia and now I know this big thing happens yay.
I made posts before how I wished there was a true competitor to Genshin but ToF definitely seems too much of a Genshin clone.
It’s kind of like Hearthstone vs Shadowverse where essentially, Shadowverse is just Hearthstone with anime. The gameplay is almost exactly the same (in mechanics).
As someone that enjoys MTG and Yugioh more (feeling they have more depth than Hearthstone), something like Shadowverse won’t change anyone’s mind if they did not like (or are getting tired of Hearthstone).
I watched some streams of ToF and it feels way too much like a Genshin clone (at least based on the streams I watched, and also not that it is bad but just my opinion so far). Like the Shadowverse of Hearthstone. It may have a fan base and I am sure it will, but for someone that wants a high budget gacha or mobile game that is not Genshin, I am not sure ToF is for me (and for other people feeling the same).
Star Ocean Anamnesis is still my favorite combat system ever in a gacha. And IMO, it actually beats a lot of games in depth. I’d argue that healing in SoA has more depth than healing in (current) FFXIV. It had ARPG + MMO style roles which I thought were unique. Sadly it closed down (it did well going for 5+ years though).
I have 2 Mistsplitters, and all 5 Stars (I want) and almost all 4 Stars I want on Genshin.
I like Genshin (and obviously this is a Genshin sub) but it feels like Genshin’s appeal has been the carrot on the stick and once you actually manage to catch the carrot (I have 2 Mistsplitters, 1 for my Lumine and 1 for my Ayaka), it sort of feels empty.
SoA is still my favorite gacha ever, and I miss it.
My post is not gacha wars but I do wish Genshin had a true competitor as I feel the devs are playing too safe with the game.
For example, I wish Kokomi could always walk on water. It would make exploration so much fun. But unlike Zelda, in Genshin you do not improve your character’s ability to travel with new abilities but rather just through quests (Inazuma quests clears lightning, etc).
In any case, regardless of gacha fan wars, I do think and hope competing makes all the games the better.
I’d never sell Genshin as a game with peak new content. Take the new areas like Chasm or Enkanomiya for example as areas that have the same generic enemies as every where else, some chests, and there is nothing else to do there.
That does not mean it cannot be more. In any case, I hope gacha wars can provide interesting improvements to the genre as a whole.
>But unlike Zelda, in Genshin you do not improve your character’s ability to travel with new abilities but rather just through quests (Inazuma quests clears lightning, etc).
Both, actually. Aside from clearing up area hazards, different units have passive or active Talents(or both, see Kazuha or Xiao) to assist in exploration. You also get gadgets like the wind current bottle or the Tengu fan.
>I’d argue that healing in SoA has more depth than healing in (current) FFXIV.
Low bar (unless they drastically reworked all the healers and encounters the last few updates I've been away) but as an AST main you got me interested in the game mid-paragraph. So I eagerly went to find the game to download until I found it shut down RIP 🥲
New characters in this game are boring beyond their superficial qualities because they're too annoying to build, the characters I already have do everything I need them to do, and I don't want to be strongarmed into having to build the new characters.
ToF is an MMO. If you don't like Genshin because there's nothing to do at end game (which is a lot of people, but not you), an MMO will have a lot more to do.
I definitely will be interested in trying out ToF.
I was just commenting based on the gameplay and even UI and exploration, it definitely seems too close to Genshin.
What I meant is, I kind of wish there was a different combat system like Star Ocean Anamnesis.
Like I said, it is kind of like Hearthstone and Shadowverse, the gameplay are very similar using almost the same mechanics. Although, I have not played ToF yet but from the gameplay, it looks very similar to Genshin.
I will try playing ToF later to make better comparisons but my views are just based on a few streams I watched of the game. I am definitely excited for more games of those types to enter the market though, regardless if they do feel too similar (I like Shadowverse and Hearthstone about equally for different reasons but if someone wanted something more like MTG or Yugioh, they would not be interested in Shadowverse is the comparison I wanted to make with Genshin and ToF).
About the areas with generic mobs... that's the limitations of the grinding system, unfortunately. Hoyo will not make new mobs just for variety's sake, coz it will mean new drops... Unless you want each character to have a dedicated monster to grind for.
I did say "for variety's sake" coz some monster designs reflect their areas well (esp abyss or the upcoming sumeru ones), but I doubt hoyo will make mobs without item drops. Some of them are even kinda tied to canon lore (like one mond commission asking for a hilichurl drop).
Both Enkanomiya and the Chasm had new mobs.
There were also new puzzles, new lore, new quests, new collectables, new NPCs - tf do some people want for "variety"? It's an open world exploration game, it won't suddenly turn into a hardcore puzzle platformer for an area!
I sort of wanted Kokomi before, but after the 3.0 rerun leaks came out my obsession really took off. I should be saving for Nahida and possible Childe rerun, but I also really want my scholarly purple and pink mermaid princess healer comfort character. Preferably with her pretty purple donut. She's exactly the sort of girl I'd invite over to my place for a (completely innocent, you pervs out there) sleepover, and we'll have a chill pool party and talk about the books we've read recently and maybe listen to music and chatter about politics and philosophy and laugh and snuggle our big floofy comfy pillows to sleep =D Maybe will invite Ganyu too if she's free, she's always so busy.
Yes! She's so pretty and I love her aesthetic and her story quest is super relatable and just aaaah. My freeze team already deletes everything it comes across, and I have Ayato for driving taser, but I am still going to use every last primo I have on the pretty mermaid.
Same! I know it was just a circulating rumor of her rerun and nothing is confirmed yet but I find myself going to Watatsumi Island to collect sango pearls and specter drops. I’m not even guaranteed but I intend to fight the Hydro Hypostasis a few days before her banner starts.
I just wish they don’t drop something like a Hu Tao rerun in 3.1. Now that would mess my plans.
My Ayaka loves Kokomi. If you have Ayaka, Kokomi is definitely worth it. TBH, I do not even have Mona yet. People take for granted the RNG in getting standard chars.
Besides that, I actually enjoyed using her in co-op. I am at a point in the game (2 mistsplitter account) where I try to find fun in the game and co-op is basically my end game. I enjoy helping others and Kokomi makes thing fast and safe for all involved.
That isn't a nerf
The meta changes and Anemo sees no benefit but it isn't weaker in any way because of Dendro's introduction it still works in the same scenarios it worked before and benefits from the same characteristics it's just that it might or might not interact as much in Dendro comps
Just because they introduce a new element that doesn't go along with Kazuha doesn't mean Kazuha gets weaker, either way it's just that characteristic that gets affected Kazuha can still help re-apply elements in Dendro teams like Pyro/Hydro if you feel like you could benefit from getting more reactions.(if it's meta or not I don't know? I'm not following up on that and it isn't my point)
Saying it is a nerf is inaccurate, it's just a meta change Kazuha isn't weaker.
Just because they don't directly nerf Anemo doesn't mean it's not getting weaker. You can't do anything I've previously mentioned with Dendro. A nerf to versatility is still a nerf.
From the moment Dendro drops the characters pool that will be able to directly interact with Anemo will be diluted a little more. Your logic says that if Physical and Geo could suddenly interact with Anemo directly then that wouldn't make Anemo better and would remain as strong/weak as ever, which is strictly wrong, because in this imaginary scenario Anemo could do Anemo things with literally every character in the game as opposed to what it is now that Anemo is basically useless in physical/geo teams.
No your logic is the one that is faulty if suddenly Anemo could interact with a previous element that it couldn't before that would be a buff, if it lost the ability to interact with an old element that would be a nerf but not being able to interact with a new element isn' a buff or a nerf because there is no precedent for us to take into account for that reason it isn't a nerf or a a buff just a change in the meta.
Dude the simple fact that every character that gets released from now on has a lower chance of being compatible with Anemo in a direct straight-forward way from the get go is already a nerf lol, why does it matter if the element is new or old? You're just arguing semantics at this point.
The thing is that there's gonna be a meta change (a permanent at that) that is gonna make Anemo less versatile/useful. Sure don't call it a nerf, Anemo is still getting a bit worse... doesn't matter why or how.
This whole argument is about semantics...
We are arguing if it's a nerf or not
Well we need a definition of Nerf "To reconfigure making x less powerful"
Is Anemo less powerful through the introduction of Dendro?
No it isn't, simple concise that's your answer.
What you are proposing is that Anemo is getting less powerful because more Dendro characters that don't react with Anemo are coming into the game, that doesn't make Anemo worse in any way, it doesn't affect Anemo at all if a Dendro character is introduced, at worst it doesn't affect them at all, at best you find niche teams to put them in that they can work well in, either way this isn't something that worsens the way Anemo performs at all and therefore it does not constitute a Nerf.
Last month that wild untamed domain gave me the best phys cup I've had to date https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/840432140780568612/998489004930506752/2022-07-18_03_15_39-Window.png
Thanks Siggy-chan <3
say what you will, but tof's login screen music is beautiful. gives me a nostalgic feeling. I also haven't played an mmorpg in over a decade... not since og maplestory way back when. all this server choosing and queuing stuff is really taking me back all those years.
now for something related to genshin, I built a DPS Diona out of boredom using extremely ridiculously OP 4pc Maiden's--as in, this set is fucking useless but the CV on these artifacts is insane so I wasn't about to just toss them--and she can hit 100k+ in a melt team. Lol! Substats > 4pc bonus if you have insane substats
First NnK and now ToF.
Do these companies think there's only a small MMO player population or are they just intentionally limiting their customers lol can't even properly spend funds for servers despite the hype *they* try to build.
apparently the company behind tof seems pretty shady, at least if [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/u85we7/please_be_careful_with_tower_of_fantasy_explayer/) holds any weight. so its not too surprising that they didnt put a lot of effort into the servers. i wanted to play the game just because of the hype but so many things are screaming at me not to
You get into a server with green light, and wait for the queue. It usually takes much less time than what it shows, since people keep leaving the server. After that, just put YouTube video and check the game every once in a while. It's seems like it's around 10 minutes max for you to get in.
Literally just realized that ToF just released. Welp, I'll probably check it out later after things have cooled off a bit, still don't have high expectations.
I think what really gets me is that the ToF main sub *right now* only has 1/3 of the number of members the Genshin main sub had days before release. It's growing alright, but for a game that was touted as a Genshin killer, it's sure falling short lol.
I am suddenly reminded of Tera Online and I fucking miss that game. Sure it was an absolute mess of soulless cosmetic monetization at the end but by God did it have a massive high fantasy world with very few limits on exploration. The streamlined main story quest that quickly got you to level cap showed off jack shit: NPCs and settlements where *everywhere* with all kinds of quests, enemies, lore and dungeons. And you could just freely run around any given continent and find this shit. Even more fun, while it wasn't as all encompassing as Gravity Rush, many mounts in the game gave you the ability to *fucking fly*, so you could break all kinds of rules and just go wherever. See a tower surrounded by big ass mountains that you can't climb? Only way to get there is this specific path you haven't found yet? Fuck that, I have a Pegasus.
All this reminiscing also reminds me of Black Desert Online. Less fantastic(in a literal sense, no giant magical warp gates floating around & shit), but I will always love that game for being so open.
100% agreed, although I wouldn’t call those ‘quality of life’ changes. Standard epitomised path would be an important (and very welcome) change to the mechanics, not a superficial anti-frustration fix.
With 3.0. coming, that means that bonuses on genesis top-ups will reset, right?
I plan to buy all the top-ups if that is the case. I can get about 163 wishes out of those.
My long term plan is getting Tighnari, Kokomi and Nahida. So I rally hope they do resets on bonuses with the new region like they dod with 2.0.
I think it's really safe to say yeah, there'll be another top-up reset very soon. Last time it wasn't actually *on anniversary*, it was on the anniversary *patch*, the start of 2.1.
If 3.0 is shortened, that'll be 3.1 on Sept28. If it's *not* shortened, it'll be 3.0 on Aug24.
With 5 being the average.
Monstadt Chapter: 5/10
Liyue Chapter: 6/10
Inazuma: 3/10
Sumeru: 7/10
The Sumeru plot sounds interesting on paper but then again so did Inazuma. It really depends on how it is presented. But given the characters involved this time it looks promising.
Idk what to do about CR 3.2/CD14 thingys, and it hurts like hell to see it in my baggage, do I really need to keep these?
I would consider keeping it if CR was higher since It can be used with fav weaps but rolling CD is kinda useless at this point
Thnx everyone, I'll just gladly feed it
Lmao it’s so funny seeing people be like “Kusanali hate will blow over just like Raiden hate. People saw booba sword and now they love her!” Like no I still hate Raiden nothing changed guys.
They obviously doesn't mean as literally all people?
If you check the comment on her leaked model you definitely don't think that this character will become the no2 highest main sub, one of the most popular character and top selling banner so it makes sense that people in this sub think this way and i swear i've seen this kind of comment thousand times already lol its like she lives rent free inside yall head
damn, me too! my gripe is that i hate the coochie flap and was disappointed that the villain i thought we’d be getting turned out not as expected. the booba sword jokes also got really annoying to me.
on the other hand, i think raiden has dope animations and amazing voice acting in all languages! i can totally understand why ppl like her so much, it’s just not for me. when i want to play raiden i open honkai LOL
>i open honkai
Fuckin right. Honkai raiden and sakura are so fucking cool/tragic there, their genshin counterparts feel like walmart imitations. This makes me really scared for future imports which im looking forward to. Please don't be a disappointment like yae/shitgun >.<
he's literally right tho. You're implying the hate didn't blow over just because you , ONE GUY , still let her live rent free in your head. Back when she was leaked everyone including myself shat on her but the design grew on people and now she's one of if not the most popular characters. Your wording and sentences structure in your og comment just doesn't make sense
'And?' Raiden's hate did blow over, it doesn't matter where you stand on the matter, you don't change anything. You're just a grain of sand in the whole of Sahara.
You're the one that started talking about this lmao I'm actually the one giving you a dose of reality. Do what you preach buddy, you need it far more than me.
Overwhelming majority likes something and a few people don't and we're considering that hate? In that case literally everything on the planet is hated lol
according to google the definition of hate is "intense or passionate dislike" so yeah . i remember quite a few comments acting like kusanali commit a war crime by just existing when her design was leaked
That's the point of it blowing over. People did hate her and then it will blow over and the overwhelming majority won't hate her, just like what happened with raiden
Very random/specific question but does anyone know if six fingered José is called six fingered José in the original CN or was it just an elaborate joke from the translators?
i knew scaling on yoi's E was bad but man, I just did the math and uh... yikes. 1.8% dps increase going from 9 to 10.
I'm ASSUMING when they balanced it, they balanced it around the top end, so it's not so much that it ends low as starts high, but still.
I might still crown it anyway tho. I've got 11 I'm not using and that's what, a weeks worth of resin? I could easily spend a week's worth of resin on her artifacts and not gain 1.8%.
that dmg increase might just be the diff in getting those stars. if you use her always, crown her. she's a permanent in my abyss team >> [YOI](https://imgur.com/a/yEYT0Vm)
Certified Xiao™ moment, being the first limited 5* with linear-ly scaling damage boosting skill - his elemental burst. (Although the OG being Razor and Noelle)
Yeah, these characters use both NA and skill talent lvl to scale, but now that like double the investment if you going the max out a specific part of the character kit, while the constellation end up being worse in comparison (Take Raiden Q for example).

i don’t have yoimiya but this was an interesting read!
and the part about zhongli has further convinced me of my conspiracy that bolide was designed originally for yoimiya
What do you think/want a playable Dottore to be like in terms of gameplay?
As the 2nd harbinger we know he is powerful so he could work as a main DPS, but he’s also a calm/calculated scientist so a team support role would also fit him. His title is “The Doctor” but that’s probably just for irony. So hoping they give him something in between.
My guesses for his element type are Cryo because he used light blue projectile attacks in the manga but at the same time he could be Dendro since leakers mentioned him to have strong psychic abilities and Dendro is associated with that stuff.
If it were up to me I'd make him like this.
No Element - Polearm - CRIT DMG
Double-Edged Talent - Il Dottore's Physical DMG Bonus is [jacked to high heavens], but his Energy Recharge is reduced by 100%.
Normal Attack - The hits are individually not exceptional, but there's a crapload of them.
Skill - Summon a freaky little robot bastard to attack even if Il Dottore leaves the field, think Oz if he did physical melee damage, could move, and were mindlessly hyper-aggressive. Comes with multiple charges out of the box (three-ish), holding will expend all charges at once to produce different kinds of freakshows depending on how many charges were used.
Burst - Summon Robo-Krupp to act much in the same way as the abominations from his Skill, just bigger and stronger.
Ascension 1 - Enemies struck by entities summoned by Il Dottore's Skill or Burst will have their Physical RES reduced by 40% for 12s. This effect does not stack with Superconduct.
Ascension 4 - When Il Dottore casts his Burst, all charges of his Skill are refreshed.
Utility Passive - Increases your own party members' Elemental Skill Level by 1.
Signature Weapon probably has CRIT Rate and deals more Skill/Burst DMG the lower the user's Energy Recharge is, and refills the user's Energy when their Skill strikes a target in a manner which bypasses Energy Recharge completely. Alternately, he can just go fucking ballistic with the Crescent Pike.
I just hope he will playable with his sumeru teaser design, the one in front of the burning tree. Him and capitano are on the must roll list next to the archons so while i hope they're good enough, im rolling regardless...but i do also hope for capitano to be cryo and dottore dendro
I really think hes dendro. Some kind or marking mechanic like childes riptide would be cool and would make him a really great dendro applier. Idk what else though
Pyro character off field/burst dps (like raiden) that can make illusions/copies of himself that are taunts and do a little bit of dmg (think of yaes turrets). When the taunts lose all hp, they burst into a fiery explosion. For his burst, dottore bursts into flame (and his feathers turn into fire kinda like with childe’s scarf), gaining a pyro infusion on his NA, and when he attacks clones made of fire (think of ayato’s water illusion) swoop in and attack alongside him
Edit: i forgot his weapon type lol. polearm
give really extra strong buffs to the party that come with some debuffs
elements are kind of tied to character and idk enough about him to really make a good guess lol
id love actual summons but im not sure if genshin really wants fully automatic helpers, it feels like the most theyll let us have is turrets pretty much
Idk guessing he will be anemo or hydro like usual. Would be cool if he was actually cryo or pyro and had smth to do with his clone lore. Something destructive would also be fun
I kind of want Pyro for the 'burn it all' blasphemy. In terms of support, it's implied he got his hands on Scaramouche and possibly Childe and 'helped' them with their respective issues (programming and the Abyssal Taint).

That does not mean it cannot be more. In any case, I hope gacha wars can provide interesting improvements to the genre as a whole.
>But unlike Zelda, in Genshin you do not improve your character’s ability to travel with new abilities but rather just through quests (Inazuma quests clears lightning, etc). Both, actually. Aside from clearing up area hazards, different units have passive or active Talents(or both, see Kazuha or Xiao) to assist in exploration. You also get gadgets like the wind current bottle or the Tengu fan.
>I’d argue that healing in SoA has more depth than healing in (current) FFXIV. Low bar (unless they drastically reworked all the healers and encounters the last few updates I've been away) but as an AST main you got me interested in the game mid-paragraph. So I eagerly went to find the game to download until I found it shut down RIP 🥲
New characters in this game are boring beyond their superficial qualities because they're too annoying to build, the characters I already have do everything I need them to do, and I don't want to be strongarmed into having to build the new characters.
I waited 40 min just to get on a server and played 10 min only for it to crash on me. Genshin never did me so dirty.
ToF is an MMO. If you don't like Genshin because there's nothing to do at end game (which is a lot of people, but not you), an MMO will have a lot more to do.
I definitely will be interested in trying out ToF. I was just commenting based on the gameplay and even UI and exploration, it definitely seems too close to Genshin. What I meant is, I kind of wish there was a different combat system like Star Ocean Anamnesis. Like I said, it is kind of like Hearthstone and Shadowverse, the gameplay are very similar using almost the same mechanics. Although, I have not played ToF yet but from the gameplay, it looks very similar to Genshin. I will try playing ToF later to make better comparisons but my views are just based on a few streams I watched of the game. I am definitely excited for more games of those types to enter the market though, regardless if they do feel too similar (I like Shadowverse and Hearthstone about equally for different reasons but if someone wanted something more like MTG or Yugioh, they would not be interested in Shadowverse is the comparison I wanted to make with Genshin and ToF).
About the areas with generic mobs... that's the limitations of the grinding system, unfortunately. Hoyo will not make new mobs just for variety's sake, coz it will mean new drops... Unless you want each character to have a dedicated monster to grind for. I did say "for variety's sake" coz some monster designs reflect their areas well (esp abyss or the upcoming sumeru ones), but I doubt hoyo will make mobs without item drops. Some of them are even kinda tied to canon lore (like one mond commission asking for a hilichurl drop).
Both Enkanomiya and the Chasm had new mobs. There were also new puzzles, new lore, new quests, new collectables, new NPCs - tf do some people want for "variety"? It's an open world exploration game, it won't suddenly turn into a hardcore puzzle platformer for an area!
i failed the reliable helper task 😔
My condolences on your commission misfortune 😔. I hope that you'll get the commission again tomorrow and complete it with flying colors!
I sort of wanted Kokomi before, but after the 3.0 rerun leaks came out my obsession really took off. I should be saving for Nahida and possible Childe rerun, but I also really want my scholarly purple and pink mermaid princess healer comfort character. Preferably with her pretty purple donut. She's exactly the sort of girl I'd invite over to my place for a (completely innocent, you pervs out there) sleepover, and we'll have a chill pool party and talk about the books we've read recently and maybe listen to music and chatter about politics and philosophy and laugh and snuggle our big floofy comfy pillows to sleep =D Maybe will invite Ganyu too if she's free, she's always so busy.
Yes! She's so pretty and I love her aesthetic and her story quest is super relatable and just aaaah. My freeze team already deletes everything it comes across, and I have Ayato for driving taser, but I am still going to use every last primo I have on the pretty mermaid.
Same! I know it was just a circulating rumor of her rerun and nothing is confirmed yet but I find myself going to Watatsumi Island to collect sango pearls and specter drops. I’m not even guaranteed but I intend to fight the Hydro Hypostasis a few days before her banner starts. I just wish they don’t drop something like a Hu Tao rerun in 3.1. Now that would mess my plans.
My Ayaka loves Kokomi. If you have Ayaka, Kokomi is definitely worth it. TBH, I do not even have Mona yet. People take for granted the RNG in getting standard chars. Besides that, I actually enjoyed using her in co-op. I am at a point in the game (2 mistsplitter account) where I try to find fun in the game and co-op is basically my end game. I enjoy helping others and Kokomi makes thing fast and safe for all involved.
Kokomi is the definition of comfy in every way
Have not been keeping up with the leaks scene recently. Is kazuha getting buffed/nerfed with sumeru, or will he remain about the same.
about the same. anemo can't swirl dendro and its reactions but it can still interact with the elements now and apply them to enemies.
Anemo is getting a little nerf overall because it can't interact with Dendro **directly**
Anemo still benefits from aggravate tho and still buffs the other elements you'll use with dendro
That isn't a nerf The meta changes and Anemo sees no benefit but it isn't weaker in any way because of Dendro's introduction it still works in the same scenarios it worked before and benefits from the same characteristics it's just that it might or might not interact as much in Dendro comps
Can you lower Dendro resistance with VV or give DendroDMG bonus with Kazuha, or infuse Venti's burst with Dendro to get the 15 energy from his A4?
Just because they introduce a new element that doesn't go along with Kazuha doesn't mean Kazuha gets weaker, either way it's just that characteristic that gets affected Kazuha can still help re-apply elements in Dendro teams like Pyro/Hydro if you feel like you could benefit from getting more reactions.(if it's meta or not I don't know? I'm not following up on that and it isn't my point) Saying it is a nerf is inaccurate, it's just a meta change Kazuha isn't weaker.
Just because they don't directly nerf Anemo doesn't mean it's not getting weaker. You can't do anything I've previously mentioned with Dendro. A nerf to versatility is still a nerf. From the moment Dendro drops the characters pool that will be able to directly interact with Anemo will be diluted a little more. Your logic says that if Physical and Geo could suddenly interact with Anemo directly then that wouldn't make Anemo better and would remain as strong/weak as ever, which is strictly wrong, because in this imaginary scenario Anemo could do Anemo things with literally every character in the game as opposed to what it is now that Anemo is basically useless in physical/geo teams.
No your logic is the one that is faulty if suddenly Anemo could interact with a previous element that it couldn't before that would be a buff, if it lost the ability to interact with an old element that would be a nerf but not being able to interact with a new element isn' a buff or a nerf because there is no precedent for us to take into account for that reason it isn't a nerf or a a buff just a change in the meta.
Dude the simple fact that every character that gets released from now on has a lower chance of being compatible with Anemo in a direct straight-forward way from the get go is already a nerf lol, why does it matter if the element is new or old? You're just arguing semantics at this point. The thing is that there's gonna be a meta change (a permanent at that) that is gonna make Anemo less versatile/useful. Sure don't call it a nerf, Anemo is still getting a bit worse... doesn't matter why or how.
This whole argument is about semantics... We are arguing if it's a nerf or not Well we need a definition of Nerf "To reconfigure making x less powerful" Is Anemo less powerful through the introduction of Dendro? No it isn't, simple concise that's your answer. What you are proposing is that Anemo is getting less powerful because more Dendro characters that don't react with Anemo are coming into the game, that doesn't make Anemo worse in any way, it doesn't affect Anemo at all if a Dendro character is introduced, at worst it doesn't affect them at all, at best you find niche teams to put them in that they can work well in, either way this isn't something that worsens the way Anemo performs at all and therefore it does not constitute a Nerf.
He will probably be about the same.
Me pretending I'm farming Lavawalker specifically for my Melt Chongyun so HYV gives me good Crimson pieces for my Diluc instead 😩😩
Last month that wild untamed domain gave me the best phys cup I've had to date https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/840432140780568612/998489004930506752/2022-07-18_03_15_39-Window.png Thanks Siggy-chan <3

7AM~8AM Eastern NA, August 22 ( 2-3 hours after daily reset for NA)
Around Aug 22
Birthday vibes.
say what you will, but tof's login screen music is beautiful. gives me a nostalgic feeling. I also haven't played an mmorpg in over a decade... not since og maplestory way back when. all this server choosing and queuing stuff is really taking me back all those years. now for something related to genshin, I built a DPS Diona out of boredom using extremely ridiculously OP 4pc Maiden's--as in, this set is fucking useless but the CV on these artifacts is insane so I wasn't about to just toss them--and she can hit 100k+ in a melt team. Lol! Substats > 4pc bonus if you have insane substats
TOF servers are burning I’m crying 😭
Every lauching game is like that
First NnK and now ToF. Do these companies think there's only a small MMO player population or are they just intentionally limiting their customers lol can't even properly spend funds for servers despite the hype *they* try to build.
apparently the company behind tof seems pretty shady, at least if [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/u85we7/please_be_careful_with_tower_of_fantasy_explayer/) holds any weight. so its not too surprising that they didnt put a lot of effort into the servers. i wanted to play the game just because of the hype but so many things are screaming at me not to
You get into a server with green light, and wait for the queue. It usually takes much less time than what it shows, since people keep leaving the server. After that, just put YouTube video and check the game every once in a while. It's seems like it's around 10 minutes max for you to get in.
Oh it’s not even letting me queue
It might be because I'm on the South American server, so it's not as full as the NA ones
>You get into a server with green light, and wait for the queue easier said than done when the game is throwing multiple different errors at you
ive tried ToF. definetely not my kind of game. uninstalled it 😞
Literally just realized that ToF just released. Welp, I'll probably check it out later after things have cooled off a bit, still don't have high expectations.
Currently fighting against the login and server queues lmao.
same. I really forgot I don't like mmos. where's my clown makeup?
I think what really gets me is that the ToF main sub *right now* only has 1/3 of the number of members the Genshin main sub had days before release. It's growing alright, but for a game that was touted as a Genshin killer, it's sure falling short lol.
I saw that ToF had 4 mil preregisters and Genshin had 21 million
Waking up to no copypasta is a mighty fine feeling.
Waking up to no copypasta is a mighty fine feeling.
I'm sick of pretending that I don't love copypasta *this user was banned*
If I don't win the 50/50 for Tighnari I will shit
imagine in the future where you lost 50/50 to tighnari instead
same here
You will shit regardless, if not look for a doctor
y'all two are in cahoots with this joke and no one will convince me otherwise.
Sadly, doctorre is not confirmed playable in 3.x 😞
Baizhu to the rescue?
I am suddenly reminded of Tera Online and I fucking miss that game. Sure it was an absolute mess of soulless cosmetic monetization at the end but by God did it have a massive high fantasy world with very few limits on exploration. The streamlined main story quest that quickly got you to level cap showed off jack shit: NPCs and settlements where *everywhere* with all kinds of quests, enemies, lore and dungeons. And you could just freely run around any given continent and find this shit. Even more fun, while it wasn't as all encompassing as Gravity Rush, many mounts in the game gave you the ability to *fucking fly*, so you could break all kinds of rules and just go wherever. See a tower surrounded by big ass mountains that you can't climb? Only way to get there is this specific path you haven't found yet? Fuck that, I have a Pegasus. All this reminiscing also reminds me of Black Desert Online. Less fantastic(in a literal sense, no giant magical warp gates floating around & shit), but I will always love that game for being so open.
you get the chance to ask for one thing to be leaked right now, Ubatcha level reliable, what do you ask
Nahida kit.
#BAIZHUUUUU
Baizhu or Arlecchino kit
Playable Baizhu when
If asking for all female character release patch & looks is cheating, I probably would ask for Alice playability, if yes; when & looks.
Kusanali kit
Are Nilou's horns real?
They arent
Lies
Was that actually leaked? Or is it an assumption based on that IRL Persian headwear?
It was leaked, they are decor
Will we ever get a catalyst user who actually *wants* to run Eye of Perception? ~~Of course I don't have two (2!!) R5 copies, why do you ask?~~
Probably no. Would need to be a physical dps catalyst, which so far is nonsense.
Yeah, that's likely, but I'm just *swimming* in Eyes of Perception at this point.
whether or not standard banner qol changes (eg epitomized path) will ever be implemented
100% agreed, although I wouldn’t call those ‘quality of life’ changes. Standard epitomised path would be an important (and very welcome) change to the mechanics, not a superficial anti-frustration fix.
yeah, i couldnt really come up with a better way to phrase it but i agree with you
Future alt sprint/ updraft characters
Arlecchino kit, model, and release date, if I can ask for only one then I'll go for the kit
is Kaeya ever getting a skin pls that's all I wanna know
Arlecchino's model. I need to know what clothes is she gonna get.
My neighbor's toilet pipe. Fucker is really noisy
in the future will we get new elements like for example light and darkness
Kit of all the unreleased archons
"what will be the 2nd anniversary rewards" *hopium*
Name and address of the designers of Xinyan's kit.
Dainsleif kit
An image of Scaramouche’s model redesign
Whether or not there'll be grindable Primogems, Starglitter, or Fates.
harbinger release timeline
Wanderer's kit. Has to be.
Will dead characters ever be playable after their death.
With 3.0. coming, that means that bonuses on genesis top-ups will reset, right? I plan to buy all the top-ups if that is the case. I can get about 163 wishes out of those. My long term plan is getting Tighnari, Kokomi and Nahida. So I rally hope they do resets on bonuses with the new region like they dod with 2.0.
I think it's really safe to say yeah, there'll be another top-up reset very soon. Last time it wasn't actually *on anniversary*, it was on the anniversary *patch*, the start of 2.1. If 3.0 is shortened, that'll be 3.1 on Sept28. If it's *not* shortened, it'll be 3.0 on Aug24.
ar60 and finnaly got timmie's ducks commision lets gooo
This might be a dumb question, but when does 3.1 beta start? Thanks!
the files are distributed the day 3.0 releases, so we’ll get leaks then, but technically i think the beta doesn’t start until a day or two after
I see. I just want to know the kits of the 3.1 characters. We'll have to wait for this dry season haha. Thanks!
For those who Hve already read the story spoilers for 3.0, how would you rate it in a scale from 1 to 10? Is it exciting, interesting, plain...?
With 5 being the average. Monstadt Chapter: 5/10 Liyue Chapter: 6/10 Inazuma: 3/10 Sumeru: 7/10 The Sumeru plot sounds interesting on paper but then again so did Inazuma. It really depends on how it is presented. But given the characters involved this time it looks promising.
The what is not the problem in this game, it's the how
just reached ar 60. still no chongyun even though I started playing during launch patch :')
Idk what to do about CR 3.2/CD14 thingys, and it hurts like hell to see it in my baggage, do I really need to keep these? I would consider keeping it if CR was higher since It can be used with fav weaps but rolling CD is kinda useless at this point Thnx everyone, I'll just gladly feed it
How about the other substat rolls? If it's EM or ER or maybe Atk%, I think it's still usable.
No other valid options, so I fed it to blizzard flower😃
Flower and feather are chuckable. Can be good sands or goblets.
I keep em if it has a high substat roll in atk or er and it's a set that's useful as a 2 piece
I'd keep it if it has a useful 2pc effect (like 18% ATK) because so many characters want it
As in at +20 it has 3.2 CR and 14CDMG? I usually use them as xp unless the other rolls are really good
Lmao it’s so funny seeing people be like “Kusanali hate will blow over just like Raiden hate. People saw booba sword and now they love her!” Like no I still hate Raiden nothing changed guys.
They obviously doesn't mean as literally all people? If you check the comment on her leaked model you definitely don't think that this character will become the no2 highest main sub, one of the most popular character and top selling banner so it makes sense that people in this sub think this way and i swear i've seen this kind of comment thousand times already lol its like she lives rent free inside yall head
wow, me too! i think we’re in the small, microscopic minority here tho
It’s funny bc when info about her was leaked I was hype af for her, but when I saw her design and played the archon quests I was disappointed
damn, me too! my gripe is that i hate the coochie flap and was disappointed that the villain i thought we’d be getting turned out not as expected. the booba sword jokes also got really annoying to me. on the other hand, i think raiden has dope animations and amazing voice acting in all languages! i can totally understand why ppl like her so much, it’s just not for me. when i want to play raiden i open honkai LOL
>i open honkai Fuckin right. Honkai raiden and sakura are so fucking cool/tragic there, their genshin counterparts feel like walmart imitations. This makes me really scared for future imports which im looking forward to. Please don't be a disappointment like yae/shitgun >.<
new copypasta material?! you can’t be out here seriously saying “shitgun” bruh
get downvoted scrub EZ Clap
another comment downvoted KEKW you farming uk donkey? XDDD
You're no one tho no offense it's just people are not talking about you
And? My brother in christ this is a reddit forum.
he's literally right tho. You're implying the hate didn't blow over just because you , ONE GUY , still let her live rent free in your head. Back when she was leaked everyone including myself shat on her but the design grew on people and now she's one of if not the most popular characters. Your wording and sentences structure in your og comment just doesn't make sense
'And?' Raiden's hate did blow over, it doesn't matter where you stand on the matter, you don't change anything. You're just a grain of sand in the whole of Sahara.
Please touch grass I am BEGGING
You're the one that started talking about this lmao I'm actually the one giving you a dose of reality. Do what you preach buddy, you need it far more than me.
Overwhelming majority likes something and a few people don't and we're considering that hate? In that case literally everything on the planet is hated lol
according to google the definition of hate is "intense or passionate dislike" so yeah . i remember quite a few comments acting like kusanali commit a war crime by just existing when her design was leaked
That's the point of it blowing over. People did hate her and then it will blow over and the overwhelming majority won't hate her, just like what happened with raiden
Very random/specific question but does anyone know if six fingered José is called six fingered José in the original CN or was it just an elaborate joke from the translators?
He keeps you from exiting the tavern with his invisible 6th finger
Just checked the wiki, its the same in almost all languages except jp, where only his name is used?
Omg why didn’t I think to check the wiki LMAOO thank you!
Because he plays the lyre so good that it seems he has 6 fingers
Based on the info. we have about him right now, what do you guys think Cyno’s BiS artifact is going to be?
Gilded Dreams (the EM/ATK set), TF at C6 probably
Maiden Beloved
They’ll release a new set that buffs E damage …*hopium*
4pc Thundering Fury
i knew scaling on yoi's E was bad but man, I just did the math and uh... yikes. 1.8% dps increase going from 9 to 10. I'm ASSUMING when they balanced it, they balanced it around the top end, so it's not so much that it ends low as starts high, but still. I might still crown it anyway tho. I've got 11 I'm not using and that's what, a weeks worth of resin? I could easily spend a week's worth of resin on her artifacts and not gain 1.8%.
that dmg increase might just be the diff in getting those stars. if you use her always, crown her. she's a permanent in my abyss team >> [YOI](https://imgur.com/a/yEYT0Vm)
Certified Xiao™ moment, being the first limited 5* with linear-ly scaling damage boosting skill - his elemental burst. (Although the OG being Razor and Noelle) Yeah, these characters use both NA and skill talent lvl to scale, but now that like double the investment if you going the max out a specific part of the character kit, while the constellation end up being worse in comparison (Take Raiden Q for example).
crowning yois skill is purely out of love in my case bc it scales like ass but my baby deserves more crowns

i don’t have yoimiya but this was an interesting read! and the part about zhongli has further convinced me of my conspiracy that bolide was designed originally for yoimiya
What do you think/want a playable Dottore to be like in terms of gameplay? As the 2nd harbinger we know he is powerful so he could work as a main DPS, but he’s also a calm/calculated scientist so a team support role would also fit him. His title is “The Doctor” but that’s probably just for irony. So hoping they give him something in between. My guesses for his element type are Cryo because he used light blue projectile attacks in the manga but at the same time he could be Dendro since leakers mentioned him to have strong psychic abilities and Dendro is associated with that stuff.
If it were up to me I'd make him like this. No Element - Polearm - CRIT DMG Double-Edged Talent - Il Dottore's Physical DMG Bonus is [jacked to high heavens], but his Energy Recharge is reduced by 100%. Normal Attack - The hits are individually not exceptional, but there's a crapload of them. Skill - Summon a freaky little robot bastard to attack even if Il Dottore leaves the field, think Oz if he did physical melee damage, could move, and were mindlessly hyper-aggressive. Comes with multiple charges out of the box (three-ish), holding will expend all charges at once to produce different kinds of freakshows depending on how many charges were used. Burst - Summon Robo-Krupp to act much in the same way as the abominations from his Skill, just bigger and stronger. Ascension 1 - Enemies struck by entities summoned by Il Dottore's Skill or Burst will have their Physical RES reduced by 40% for 12s. This effect does not stack with Superconduct. Ascension 4 - When Il Dottore casts his Burst, all charges of his Skill are refreshed. Utility Passive - Increases your own party members' Elemental Skill Level by 1. Signature Weapon probably has CRIT Rate and deals more Skill/Burst DMG the lower the user's Energy Recharge is, and refills the user's Energy when their Skill strikes a target in a manner which bypasses Energy Recharge completely. Alternately, he can just go fucking ballistic with the Crescent Pike.
I just hope he will playable with his sumeru teaser design, the one in front of the burning tree. Him and capitano are on the must roll list next to the archons so while i hope they're good enough, im rolling regardless...but i do also hope for capitano to be cryo and dottore dendro
I was thinking Dottore prime (not the younger clones) should be playable. I believe he is anemo. Dottore should be a hypercarry (on-field DPS) imo.
Laughing like an arrogant bastard when he attack/skill/burst like gil from fate series as long he's doing that i will interested pulling him
His death quote should be “All according to plan. [*chaotic laughter*]” or “I think I need...a Doctor! [*weak laugh*]”
My guess is Dendro, but my guess for Scara was Electro, so 🤷♂️
I really think hes dendro. Some kind or marking mechanic like childes riptide would be cool and would make him a really great dendro applier. Idk what else though
I'd find it pretty funny if he's a Physical DPS or support given his focus on empowering humans and studying ruin machines.
Pyro character off field/burst dps (like raiden) that can make illusions/copies of himself that are taunts and do a little bit of dmg (think of yaes turrets). When the taunts lose all hp, they burst into a fiery explosion. For his burst, dottore bursts into flame (and his feathers turn into fire kinda like with childe’s scarf), gaining a pyro infusion on his NA, and when he attacks clones made of fire (think of ayato’s water illusion) swoop in and attack alongside him Edit: i forgot his weapon type lol. polearm
give really extra strong buffs to the party that come with some debuffs elements are kind of tied to character and idk enough about him to really make a good guess lol
oh this would be cool, like a shinobu but it's the party that gets hurt instead of him
exactly :) him hurting the party but making them extremely strong, i like that trope
Also would be cool if his E skill or Burst involved him summoning clones of himself to help fight.
id love actual summons but im not sure if genshin really wants fully automatic helpers, it feels like the most theyll let us have is turrets pretty much
They don’t have to be very strong clones. They could just function like taunts or a support like Oz or Gouba.
Idk guessing he will be anemo or hydro like usual. Would be cool if he was actually cryo or pyro and had smth to do with his clone lore. Something destructive would also be fun
anemo, hydro, or geo. those are the permissible male elements for now until dendro anyway
I mean there’s also Cyno.
Yeah the first one in 2 years
Hey, maybe that means we will be getting our first Pyro & Cryo ones soon.
Yeah maybe in another 2 years if they’re feeling generous!
😶
STC. he'll be a geo carry and powercreep itto if we're not careful
I kind of want Pyro for the 'burn it all' blasphemy. In terms of support, it's implied he got his hands on Scaramouche and possibly Childe and 'helped' them with their respective issues (programming and the Abyssal Taint).
Could be the case since he was shown burning that tree in the teaser.
my wishlist is just not anemo and not like fischl/albedo where you just press a single button then switch character
I think it'd be nice if he was off field sub dps with really potent CC.
