Genshin Impact |OT| 4.0 (Fontaine) - Je m'appelle "la baleine"

Finally got some luck in this game - after Yoymiya costed me going to soft pity twice I got Baal at 45 or so pulls without losing 50-50. Now I'm quite happy with rumors showing dead 2.2 version with just reruns - will have time to prepare for Yae and Ganyue rerun to finish my character rooster.

Bro, there's a big chance that Cocogoat's re-run is in 2.2 xD

Everything I have is at C0. Except for Baal. And nah, I'm not going for more constellations for Cocogoat. She served me right at C0 and she never felt underpowered.
What, you don't even grant your beloved Cocogoat some cons? SMH

I don't ever pull for cons or weapons. I would much rather get different characters to experience their gameplay.

I dunno guys, it all reminds me the Destiny debacle, I'd rather see some images / experience it I game instead of reading walls of text. Unlike in Souls games, GI world isn't dead, so we have plenty of opportunities for the proper storytelling.

Written lore is ignored by 99% of people. I doubt that many people knows Signora story and her motives. Shame. But again, if it's not in game it doesn't exist for the vast majority of people.

Speaking of images, looks like GI manga is totally ignored by the playerbase too lol


Here's nice manga pages with new heroes and Amber:

Man, when am I getting Amber's alt costume already? I'm sure it's coming with her 200x damage buff after the anniversary.

I read all of the chapters when it came out originally, but I think I'm a few behind now. Shame that they don't mention it in the game at all.

I kinda shocked how limited customization in GI. I mean it's free money MiHo is leaving on the table. 1 paid skin in the whole year? Ridiculous.
I suspect we'll probably see some next patch for the Liyue festival. There would be no reason to beta test the costumes though, so I bet MHY is keeping them hidden for now.

I'd really like some traveler customization. I don't even care if they completely disregard it for cutscenes.

Sure. But that's only 2nd time we will get new skins. Even if it will be like 3 new skins. 5 skins per year doesn't makes sense from the financial perspective. I wonder why MiHo doesn't push paid customizations more. I hope they're not judging paid skins potential performance based on that awful Jean's skin sales.

Damn, HoneyImpact site is being taken down by MHY. I get that they posted leaked kits but that site is the closest thing we have to a fully functional wiki and database. It'd suck to lose that over a few leaked kits.

TBH I have no idea how it's possible to take down select game leaking accounts on Twitter and some leaking sites while internet is full of explicit and extremist content. Taliban has a Twitter account ffs lol

Was only a matter of time given what happened with the leaker blood feud months ago.

Sorta, but I hope they can come to an understanding of just removing unreleased content and let us continue to use it as a wiki. The other genshin wiki sucks ass and is an ad ridden mess.

Nah they gonna shut it down because all the stats and abilities are from leaked builds and datamined info which in turn will allow consumers(people like us) to think and plan ahead and generate less revenue for MHY.

Bad times ahead for Genshin community.

I have no idea why or how MiHo can do what they do but leakers should grow some balls and learn VPN lmao Or just move to Russian servers.
I imagine it may be partially because some of the leakers are paid by MHY to promote/leak their content. Not sure though. The disputes with leaks and VA's is not a good thing.

I wish I could find the article about it, but MHY actually has a ridiculous system for finding out who leaked content. They can tell based on approximate day captured, based on the XYZ coordinates of a player with their equipment and moves that they've done. The biggest mistake they did was leaking the dev client back during the Eula/Yanfei leak, because now people can reverse engineer the beta client and just make their own server with it. That's why for most newer leaks it was always just level 1 enemies and characters with infinite health in an empty world. They're not doing anything in MHY's server anymore and (hopefully) spinning up a custom server in a walled garden. Now since they can't get the actual leakers anymore, they're going for sites that are hosting the leaked content like Bilibili, now honeyimpact, etc.

If there are leaks, there will be platforms that host leaks. Telegram exists etc.

For now it looks like people are more interested in creating Twitter drama and getting cheap hype about nothing.

If people used GI leaks just to promote themselves and their Twitter account/platform then I have no sympathy to them and I believe that MiHo can easily nuke their precious accounts and sue their asses because such people would leave a lot of traces/care about their likes/shares/subs.

But if leakers cared only about sharing NDA information then I see no options for MiHo to stop it. Way too many ways to share info anonymously. And in our day and age information spreads at light speed. No way to control it all and prevent people who are interested in getting it from getting it. Sure, it may not be visible on the 1st page of Google search, but it will surely exist and that's all I care about tbh.


I do not care much for Genshin Community
Word. Bunch of sad fucks and preteen girls. Couldn't care less about such people.

EN VA' s can go fuck themselves. I'd rather play in mute game with subs than watch another stream with those brats.


The other genshin wiki sucks ass and is an ad ridden mess.
Use ad block 🚫

And nah, wiki will exist no matter what. People need info and somebody somewhere will surely provide one way or another.

It really is amazing that actually giving her a personality has made her 10000x more likable, even as a villain. Fu Hua herself is one of the most boring characters in the game, albeit with good lore.
Yep. Reading up on her, HoS is the best version of her by a mile. Speaking of, is it a good time to join Honkai yet? I've been waiting for the right banner/time or is that not how it works.

You should have joined during the Genshin crossover, they were doing recruitment awards for both parties (the inviter and the joiner). We're still on the 5.0 patch for a week or so, and right now HoS in a feature banner, if you wanted to reroll for her. She's one of the best overall dps in the game right now and has a pretty easy to obtain equipment set (outside of the weapon which is gacha only).

Next patch (5.1) we get free farmable S rank (think 5* genshin character), but it's going to be a while for you to be able to farm her as a new player. She's permanent though.

They just announced a bunch of free stuff for the CN anniversary, but that's still a touchy subject considering what they did to GL anniversary this year.

Oh I gotta jump in ASAP then when I'm off. I don't want to miss that, thanks. Yeah, I should have jumped in during the Genshin collab.

What a time to be alive. Bunch of nonsense suddenly became a touchy subject lol

Damn, I wish 80s and 90s had the technology that we have now. 3d boobies, 3d boobies with coke on top everywhere... I just glad that we still have movies from that Era lol

Well sure it was nonsense, but they basically showed the entire playerbase that Global is a joke to them, on the global anniversary. The fact that they rewarded the CN playerbase for acting like babies that GL got the bunny girl video taken down was a little much for me. I was seriously considering quitting both games at the time. Now for CN anniversary, they're giving them all sorts of free S rank characters and equipment and currency etc.

Add me when you get in, I'll mentor you (it's an actual thing in the game, we both get rewards again) 102320905

For me its strange. Logging in on PS5 does not get me the bonus but when I log in on PC then I get it. Not sure why.
Like a sucker I downloaded the Hoyolab app for that 100 primos they were giving away for a while, it reminds me every day to collect my 5000 mora or fowl.

Seem to be better nowadays.

Maybe you created your account on PC first?

No, I created PC account this week only and linked it. For past 2 days I check in and then log in on PS5 but no bonus so then I log in on PC and get it.

Need more desserts. But yeah, looks like "Baal" never really grew up emotionally since the last war and all the losses. Makes her character really vulnerable and cute. Way better trope than usual tsundere animu stuff.

Calcium.


So, the fishing event started. Unlimited fishes?
I read somewhere you can fish as much as you want from the new holes but can only keep 15 per day. That's in addition to your normal fishing holes.

Event itself is a bummer so far, it's just a fishing challenge with a timer. MHY loves their timers.

Timer is the only challenge they figure out I presume.

No complains from me about the fish because I trying to get the spear, but require 20 fish from each , beside the pink fish that require 6.
 
The reaction to "leaks" is weird, they don't to seem to really care for honkai, even though we know what's coming like 2 versions ahead; heck they even "spoil" their own big story moments with animated versions of the conclusions, before the in-game one is even available.

4.5 was probably the best time time to jump in, since that was the evangelion collab, which is probably not coming back ever.
The genshin collab is permanent, so you can pretty easily farm fischl, but you'd have to wait for her bow to come back.
Right now there's a kinda pokemon event going, which has some nice rewards, and you'd probably want a little head start on farming if you want the 5.1 free s ranker; the currency to get her takes a bit of time to get.

At least they're going to add new ways to get willpowers, buuut....it's SSS ranking the memorial bosses.
