Finally, going to the right direction. I mean, it's about time they improve their game. With Wuthering Waves in the market, as well as more upcoming open world gacha games such as Neverness to Everness, Azur Promilia, Project Mugen(no idea when it will be released), Arknights Enfield, etc., it is bound to happen that there are dissatisfied Genshin players that will try those games, and will love them as well. If those games meet some of their expectations, they will probably switch. So this direction that Genshin is taking a very good path to take. All I can say is "Thanks, Genshin devs!". Now, WuWa will have no choice but to improve their game more. As a player of both games, it's a win-win for the Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves players. Let's goooo. I love competition in a gacha game. Also, free Kachina. She's so cute.
They've always been improving their game, they have just been very slow about it. If you compare 1.0 to 4.8 there is a massive difference. But that's not to say that the 5.0 update is amazing. I don't think they've ever done so much good changes in one update before
If you notice in the video, if it stays the way it is, you'll need four elixirs to make a relic with substats. They said you can get three in the game in 5.0 but the fourth will be on the paid battle pass. Seems pretty expensive.
It does seem to be that way. And in the video they clearly showed that there will be a limit on the number of elixirs you can create by sacrificing upgraded artifacts per "cycle", with each cycle being at least 19 days 11:25 I've seen a lot of excitement over this new gadget but I don't think people realize how LITTLE impact this is going to have on your artifact farming routine. Double crit artifacts alway look nice at +0, remember that
I feel like they're worth saving for when you really need them, being able to get the main/sub stats you need doesn't save you from bad rolls but they're definitely not useless
I mean, it's pretty obvious that they won't just give you an item that can basically remove the artifact system. I guess you really just want to do it once you are exactly one artifact missing and you want it to be from a very specific set.
Would be extremely scummy if they give out only 3 per patch and you need to buy BP to craft ONE artifact that can still become trash - can't wait for the swarm of players that show how they went from double crit to "it all rolled into def/hp" etc
Very interesting, it seems genshin's waves finally started wuthering, I wonder what happened for them to have this change of heart in this specific period of time after 4 years
Yeah, because everyone knows such changes in games can be made in 1-2 months. Oh, wait, they can't... The CEO literally said that they spoke with fans early this year about these things. That was many months before WuWa was even released. Also, WuWa didn't even register as competition for HoYo with its numbers.
@@OnigoroshiZero Lmao tell me you know nothing about game development. Yes, they absolutely can. You can make changes in a week if you throw enough resources at it -- and what gacha company has more money than Mihoyo? Just because the CEO spoke to fans and fake cried during a speech doesn't mean jack
Normally each nations unique artifacts are added after the next nation comes out - so in my opinion Fontaine's should've already been out since this is the last update of Fontaine.
HOLLY MOLLY~ I can't believe the time has come where I can say this but wow, this update looks SO AMAZING! And FUN! I love how you can see the animation, texture, vfx and other quality improvements. Like dang their employees have really leveled up in their craft and you can tell. Plus all these amazing updates, I am so excited for Natlan now *--*)9
The only thing I care about is Kachina. She has the same english VA as Aeval (the BEST melusine!) So she is a must pull for me. Being a 4 star is a bit sus, since there's no way to guarentee a specific 4 star when wishing... Getting her to C6 might be tricky.
the new feature in wishing system will of any use only if winning the promotional chracter using new system doesn’t reset the 50/50 guarantee otherwise its just a indicator that you won 50/50
Based on what I’ve seen in Chinese communities, it seems like there’s an extra 10% chance that the 5-star characters will be limited, making the rate 55%. Basically, out of 100 people who pull, 10 people (10%) get this new guaranteed thing, and the rest stick with the original rate-45 miss and 45 get limited-so 55 out of 100 end up with the limited. I’m guessing this aligns with HSR’s standard since it’s around 57% there.
idk if I was dreaming or something but I could have sworn I've seen the sanctifying elixir in my inventory recently. I thought they gave it out through in-game mail.
@@amandaslough125 I'm not talking about the Unction or Essence. I know about those two. I'm talking about the one that let's you pick main stat and 2 substats.
@@13r2N oh no, that's the artifact locker right. It let's you automatically lock artifacts with chosen stats when you obtain them (via domains/abyss/strongbox), it doesn't "make" an artifact.
great summary!! I'm most excited about the world level increase, especially since I just reached AR 58 recently and am tired of getting 2 boss drops every time lol
Regarding Elixir, if we assume that they will be given as Event Rewards like Crowns and the production limit is around 4-5 per Cycle, then an F2P should be able to accumulate enough for around 3-4 Custom Artifacts per Patch, which is more or less the same as in HSR (It's too early to say the average in ZZZ). This will help a lot for those who are looking for a specific piece or have monstrous bad luck when farming, especially with you being able to choose 2 Sub-Stats.
@@leshou907 yep!! and im thankful to genshin for pushing the boudary of gacha games, thus making way for better games in the future (wuwa as an example)
For real Genshin is becoming more and more like kingdom hearts which is my favourite game overall ❤. The designs Animations Also Playstyle Adventure/Explorations Pokemon/Dream Eaters😂 The vibrant vibes Topnotch stories
this is the only sensible comment I have seen by far on this video, everyone is hyping the free STANDARD 5* like crazy, I get it that it is really good for new players but what about us? If they did this 2-3 years ago it would have been a huge W but now after almost 4 Years I don't really get what's the point of giving standard banner character, I already have all of them 😂
A new mechanic you say? „Night soul” it’s called? Can’t wait for the artefact giving you 12% of crit DMG for each 5% of the bar filled, non accessible to any other character except the ones coming with the newest banners…
The only change I don't understand is giving 10 pulls to returnees, because if you time your 2 weeks of absence right with this new change, you're literally rewarded more for NOT playing the game, than you would be if you played every day for those 2 weeks. It seems so counterintuitive, like why are they making me feel bad for playing their game? Why do I feel like I'm missing out by playing, instead of dropping it for 2 weeks? I don't get it. Edit: A little clarification! Just like I thought, there had to be more to this change than it first seemed like, and I finally found it. I think they really could've made it more clear in the livestream or the summary that this isn't an updated version of Stellar Reunion, but rather it seems to be an additional thing on top of the already existing Stellar Reunion, and has different requirements from it. Stellar Reunion requires AR 10 and 14 consecutive days of not logging in (and 45 days since last triggering it), and this additional thing they mentioned requires AR30 and **45** consecutive days of not logging in, so that makes much more sense now. It _is_ more rewarding to just play the game, as it should be. Glad to clear that up!
You get the rewards after 2 weeks only for the first time you were absent. To get the rewards again you would need to stop playing for around 40 days (not sure if I remember the number correctly but it's something around 40)
Everyone say thank you to Genshin's competition; both inside and outside of Hoyoverse, because this is amazing. Banger QOL changes. I am hyped for the first time in a long time.
I'm just so happy with the devs revamping the weapon banner fate point system. I usually pull for my dps's sigweap and it hurts when I have to spend 270 wishes on the weapon alone. Also, loved the artifact optimizations. No more grinding for a cr/cd main stat circlet with cd/cr substat lol.
Oh my goodness I was one of them that suggested the regional specialty tracker, I was saying it's ridiculous how we have that but we aren't even able to use it to track the materials. Did Genshin actually listen to my feedback and implemented that? And I'm just so glad that I can finally get Mona during the anniversary, I want her so badly. I'm looking for 5.0 so much
Something you forgot about the selector : they said that the roster will increase every year. So either some of the 5.x characters will be added to it, or older characters will instead !!!
With the amount of investment some F2P players has in their accounts, i feel like that 10 additional levels to the world bosses will just make them take 5 extra seconds to defeat ☠
well u can also see that it can be used limited times in a cycle. i am assuming 2-3 times per cycle, which lasts for a month . so yeahhhh.... but hey its something
@@shlokpandre1078 It's actually better than, let's say HSR. In HSR you can only pick the mainstat. In Genshin, you can pick the mainstat AND two substats, but we'll have to see how long the cycle is. In HSR, you can get 2-3 self modeling resins per patch
its basically a Maureschee powercreep for Natlan characters in a nutshell not surprising or inspiring im still waiting for a ATK speed artifact set, 2PC - 12% ATK Speed 4PC - even more and also a time locked set of goals you need to reach to get the maximum amount of bonuses (claymores would be instantly locked out of this poor guys)
@@oyatsu3709 long before wuwa, we have generousity on pgr, past genshin we have nikke and wuwa rn seems underwhelming especially in mobile market. Dev know what they're doing, you either give feedback and enjoy or just quit
I don't know about other players but for me it feels like just yesterday I was waiting for natlan and today it's coming soon. Like I know we waited for so long but just a feeling.
One more that doesn't have a clue about game developing. These things have been in the works long before WuWa was even out. Also, WuWa can't even be considered a competition to Genshin. It's best month which was its release with banners with new characters barely put it above Genshin's second-third rerun characters, and it is a game in its 4th year. And WuWa is already buried deep underground by ZZZ, HoYo just doesn't care.
why I'm so crying right 😭😭😭😭😭 It's been 4 years i was starting playing genshin back i thought devs didn't and didn't care now i can't believe what seeing right now? finally, devs really care for us!! i can't stop my tears!!!!! waaaahhhh!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
Haven't played Genshin like I used in over a year and I swear 5.0 is going to be crazy good. i just hate the fact my finals are right around the corner 😭
I sadly dont have any incentive of catching up (the adventurer rank grind was just too long at the time). I am happy for the existing players and possible newcomers. But i am slightly saddened that i still have to grind so many hours for the adventurer rank just to play the story further. This is not meant as a dump at genshin but as a comparison on my own experience: The first time i played WuWa i noticed how easy collecting things are (you get a sensor that pings every chest on your map around you) and movement being so free...and most importantly no stamina worries or Union rank grind that would atop you from enjoying and progressing quests and story. At one point the game forced me to grind union levels, thing is i did one or 2 exploration quests and then i was enough leveled up to finish the story. The most important factor allowing me to play at my own pace was the skip button, which genshin doesnt have. And full honesty i dont care about genshins story at all. There are so many books and games our there if i want to read or play a story. So this is a bit long of a comment but i want to remind people that i wish the current genshin players fun and this update looks incredible. I just wish i could experience it too without getting bored on the way to the new region.
We've had sensors that shows you where a chest is in genshin since 1.1. Wuwa has skip button, but when I played during launch it was only on those small unvoiced parts. The main quest that you had to progress through was unskippable so I just spammed though it. I don't know if that has changed in 1.2 or nah.
tbh, I never expected natlan to be... how it is right now, Idk the word for it, fun and vibrant? I was expecting a more volcano manor/Mt. Gelmir from elden ring or death mountain from OoT vibe.
What?? WuWa didn't even register as competition to HoYo, but you can keep dreaming. Also, learn a few things about game development first, you will realize how stupid you sound. These things have been in the works for many months, if not close to a year.
9:08 we also need new map pin icons. like a treasure chest icon, or an hourglass icon, or butterfly icon. or just any new icon designs. i’d even be fine if they’re just new simple shapes like a triangle or a circle. i just want new pin icons. and we also need a system where we can turn on and off map icons that we have placed on the map. sometimes i just wanna see, say, the flower icons i have placed on the map without seeing all other stuff on the map.
I'm hoping enviosity would return to cover this as well. I miss his content despite the drama going on. I'm sure he will be super excited about these changes genshin finally made.
@@soudipmandal715 He got called out for mint-picking and he said in one of his live streams and I quote " I am the only motherfucker who should be getting praised" (he was talking about how he does not spend money on genshin and thus should be getting praised during the nth boycott)
I kept getting more and more excited watching this. Serenity pot update finally, more drop rates, Kinich, free four star and free five star, Pokemon, finally I want accidentally use special dishes from characters I don’t own and won’t be able to replace, FINALLY THE ESSENSE WOOOeverything is just so cool I’m so happy lol
Genshin must have a new *producer* for all of these "gift that keeps on giving" updates. There's no way the previous producer would be this generous. Either way, thank goodness if that's the case, genshin could rise again if they keep this up.
I was really hoping that the free 5 star would be something interesting, I mean, if you've plated Genshin for a while, none of those standard banner chars are really that interesting anymore, or you already have them (i have gotten Jean EVERY freaking time i lost my 50/50) I would rather have a new free 4 star from Natlan region.
Then you don't know what tf you are talking about. There's literally a lot people that don't have any of the characters like me and also many players that want to get a cons of specific characters. They also said they are going to add more standard characters in the future and this thing will continue every year.
10:30 From nerfed Mora rewards to no Mora. Those Weekly Reputation quests were my only source of Mora income due to my entire Map being 100%-ed. Now I have to rely on those Leylines 100% of the time.
Nah sorry but the ship has long sailed for me. I'm not going to praise Genshin after they've been ignoring people for 4 years just because they FINALLY start to make some decent changes because they now have competition. No, sorry. Their competition has been more gracious and customer friendly from the start, and i have too much build up disappointment to care at this point. Also, how nice of them to finally give us a free standard selector. Would've been amazing 2 years ago when these characters were at least somewhat useful but now, NOW they're graciously granting us a choice when not only they aren't as useful anymore, and most players already either have most, if not all of them.
hyv back then: complaint all u want, but we wont implement them. hyv now: praise us bcos we listened our players. So after 4 years, we’ll implement 1 out of 264637 suggestions you guys gave
LoL. You don't understand consumer metrics & retention strategies. As a software developer myself, Genshin team is doing everything by the playbook & timing things perfectly :chefs-kiss: They never needed to give away free 5* selector in the first 3 years, bcoz enough people would still continue to play it because the quality of the product is just that good. The products that are not doing well, are actually the ones that release free giveaway early on their lifetime which indicates their poor performance, a try to boost their sales. Genshin needing to do this 4 years later is a testament to their inherent quality others could only crave for. And people like you are a tiny section that don't matter in their overall picture. i.e. You are not 'most' of them...
Hoyo doesn't even need your praise either lmao. Not all are lucky enough to get all the character in standard banner even the day 1 players (I still don't have Tighnari), so don't generalize and just speak for yourself. If the game was too much disappointment at your part then why the heck are you still playing? Just quit and move on, seriously it will affect your mental health. Game is suppose to be enjoyable and not a chore bruh.
Great update, but I won’t be increasing my world level. Not worth trading shorter fights for a bare increase in boss materials. It would be worth it if we could increase our characters to level 100.
I played genshin almost every day back in 2022 but ultimately stopped because it was just too hard to level up and get new characters and the quests didn’t feel rewarding. Now, though, I’d like to come back. This feels like a breath of fresh air
I rushed this recap as fast as I could but I am not sure if I pronounced new character names right + I left out some extra details, such as new players can start Natlan region from AR 28 and by completing Liyue Archon quest. Otherwise hope you found this useful!!

Normally each nations unique artifacts are added after the next nation comes out - so in my opinion Fontaine's should've already been out since this is the last update of Fontaine.

HOLLY MOLLY~ I can't believe the time has come where I can say this but wow, this update looks SO AMAZING! And FUN! I love how you can see the animation, texture, vfx and other quality improvements. Like dang their employees have really leveled up in their craft and you can tell. Plus all these amazing updates, I am so excited for Natlan now *--*)9
idk why people are hating on the pixel dendro claymore character when it's not too different from the Arrlecchino glitch and Sustainer's cubes
I’m thinking those people never grew up with the pixel art Pokémon
Because the Arlecchino thing looks awesome. Pixel boy just looks like kid stuff.
For me, his combat and pixel pet thing doesn't look like they belong in this game at all.
You lost me with the arrlecchino comparison….
its so latin american to believe you’re a character like ben 10 though
The only thing I care about is Kachina. She has the same english VA as Aeval (the BEST melusine!) So she is a must pull for me. Being a 4 star is a bit sus, since there's no way to guarentee a specific 4 star when wishing... Getting her to C6 might be tricky.
hey atleast we get her for free! really hope she has synergy with navia so excited for this update omfg
no wonder her voice sounded so familiar!!
Bro, kachina is a buff for some c0 Chiori main, mono geo Kachina with Chiori, Gorou, and any healer or dealer elements would ROCK so hard 😂
Aeval is the hottest melusine
AEVAL IS MY FAV MELUSINE TOO
the new feature in wishing system will of any use only if winning the promotional chracter using new system doesn’t reset the 50/50 guarantee otherwise its just a indicator that you won 50/50
its feels more like they tipped scales to be not 50/50 but 75/25 (made up number idk how actually it will be)
@@kudanez2085 i heard its 55/45 meaning u have a 55% chance to win the 50/50
@@akzuuyasit's 55 or 60 no way it's more than that
@@sudiptaday7875 it's 55% chance for win. It's stated on the official pages
Based on what I’ve seen in Chinese communities, it seems like there’s an extra 10% chance that the 5-star characters will be limited, making the rate 55%. Basically, out of 100 people who pull, 10 people (10%) get this new guaranteed thing, and the rest stick with the original rate-45 miss and 45 get limited-so 55 out of 100 end up with the limited. I’m guessing this aligns with HSR’s standard since it’s around 57% there.

As a medical student who barely has enough time for genshin, I always appreciate your version summaries. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
10:16 Imagine seeing a random npc fighting a mushroom then it says "a very very long quest
Your video has all the information. You almost covered everything. Thank you
Regarding Elixir, if we assume that they will be given as Event Rewards like Crowns and the production limit is around 4-5 per Cycle, then an F2P should be able to accumulate enough for around 3-4 Custom Artifacts per Patch, which is more or less the same as in HSR (It's too early to say the average in ZZZ).
This will help a lot for those who are looking for a specific piece or have monstrous bad luck when farming, especially with you being able to choose 2 Sub-Stats.
And this folks, is why competition is a good thing. Thank you WuWa 👍🏼
Without Genshin WUWA wouldn't exist, very thankful for Genshin
@@leshou907 yep!! and im thankful to genshin for pushing the boudary of gacha games, thus making way for better games in the future (wuwa as an example)

Why exactly are u playing the game if u don't want to experience it to the fullest? Respectfully, ur wasting ur time...
you can see the passive of new set in 11:11 (obsidian cortex)
A new mechanic you say? „Night soul” it’s called? Can’t wait for the artefact giving you 12% of crit DMG for each 5% of the bar filled, non accessible to any other character except the ones coming with the newest banners…
My money is gonna be long gone when 5.0 releases, THE CHARACTERS ARE SO COOLLLLL
The only change I don't understand is giving 10 pulls to returnees, because if you time your 2 weeks of absence right with this new change, you're literally rewarded more for NOT playing the game, than you would be if you played every day for those 2 weeks. It seems so counterintuitive, like why are they making me feel bad for playing their game? Why do I feel like I'm missing out by playing, instead of dropping it for 2 weeks? I don't get it.
Edit: A little clarification! Just like I thought, there had to be more to this change than it first seemed like, and I finally found it. I think they really could've made it more clear in the livestream or the summary that this isn't an updated version of Stellar Reunion, but rather it seems to be an additional thing on top of the already existing Stellar Reunion, and has different requirements from it. Stellar Reunion requires AR 10 and 14 consecutive days of not logging in (and 45 days since last triggering it), and this additional thing they mentioned requires AR30 and **45** consecutive days of not logging in, so that makes much more sense now. It _is_ more rewarding to just play the game, as it should be. Glad to clear that up!
You get the rewards after 2 weeks only for the first time you were absent. To get the rewards again you would need to stop playing for around 40 days (not sure if I remember the number correctly but it's something around 40)
Yeah that maybe true but theres a big cooldown for the stellar reunion and the in game rewards like events dailies etc are far greater!
theres a cooldown between receiving the stellar reunion again and I think its a month and 15 days
It only happens every 45 days.
@@smolaetherdoesn’t that mean you can kinda farm that? Drop the game for 2weeks every 45 days 😂
lmao it's good i witnessed sth amazing before i travel permanently i won't be able to play TT
thank you for this wonderful summary as always !
Everyone say thank you to Genshin's competition; both inside and outside of Hoyoverse, because this is amazing. Banger QOL changes. I am hyped for the first time in a long time.
I'm just so happy with the devs revamping the weapon banner fate point system. I usually pull for my dps's sigweap and it hurts when I have to spend 270 wishes on the weapon alone. Also, loved the artifact optimizations. No more grinding for a cr/cd main stat circlet with cd/cr substat lol.
Oh my goodness I was one of them that suggested the regional specialty tracker, I was saying it's ridiculous how we have that but we aren't even able to use it to track the materials. Did Genshin actually listen to my feedback and implemented that? And I'm just so glad that I can finally get Mona during the anniversary, I want her so badly. I'm looking for 5.0 so much
Something you forgot about the selector : they said that the roster will increase every year. So either some of the 5.x characters will be added to it, or older characters will instead !!!
I feel like I am on a TV episode of Punk'd right now.
This is more comprehensive than most videos out there, thank you!
1:51 Capybaras in Genshin??? This is literally the best game ever
Thank you for the update info! So excited for the new update!
With the amount of investment some F2P players has in their accounts, i feel like that 10 additional levels to the world bosses will just make them take 5 extra seconds to defeat ☠
Thank you soo much for clatifying Kachina for Free
Thank goodness
11:10 anyone peep that?! The artifact they are demonstrating the feature on is a NEW artifact set and we can see what it does!!!!
well u can also see that it can be used limited times in a cycle. i am assuming 2-3 times per cycle, which lasts for a month . so yeahhhh.... but hey its something
@@shlokpandre1078 It's actually better than, let's say HSR. In HSR you can only pick the mainstat. In Genshin, you can pick the mainstat AND two substats, but we'll have to see how long the cycle is. In HSR, you can get 2-3 self modeling resins per patch
its basically a Maureschee powercreep for Natlan characters in a nutshell not surprising or inspiring
im still waiting for a ATK speed artifact set,
2PC - 12% ATK Speed
4PC - even more and also a time locked set of goals you need to reach to get the maximum amount of bonuses (claymores would be instantly locked out of this poor guys)
finally 5star selector all it took was WuWa's generosity and 4 long years lol
But only for the standard banner.
There are almost 90 characters in this game and they give us the ones nobody wants.

Hoyo really wants to smooth out Genshin so you also have time to play HSR and ZZZ, since their ideal customer plays all their games.
Now all we need is an Artifact Load out
Only thing missing was a way to get old event weapons for new people or people who missed.

One more that doesn't have a clue about game developing.
These things have been in the works long before WuWa was even out.
Also, WuWa can't even be considered a competition to Genshin. It's best month which was its release with banners with new characters barely put it above Genshin's second-third rerun characters, and it is a game in its 4th year. And WuWa is already buried deep underground by ZZZ, HoYo just doesn't care.

1:04 this is one shapy npc!
Someone worked extra “hard” it seems😂
Haven't played Genshin like I used in over a year and I swear 5.0 is going to be crazy good. i just hate the fact my finals are right around the corner 😭
Still salty it took them 4 years to listen at least once the community. But oh well... At least is something to make us come back
Ngl these 5.0 chars look pretty fun to me and the rewards really incentivize me to come back to the game, im glad that genshin finally listened
Holy fuck they COOKED with this one 😂 It’s about damn time they gave us a reason to log back in 😬😮💨
Natlan is going to make the game feel new again and I can't wait
I sadly dont have any incentive of catching up (the adventurer rank grind was just too long at the time). I am happy for the existing players and possible newcomers. But i am slightly saddened that i still have to grind so many hours for the adventurer rank just to play the story further.
This is not meant as a dump at genshin but as a comparison on my own experience:
The first time i played WuWa i noticed how easy collecting things are (you get a sensor that pings every chest on your map around you) and movement being so free...and most importantly no stamina worries or Union rank grind that would atop you from enjoying and progressing quests and story. At one point the game forced me to grind union levels, thing is i did one or 2 exploration quests and then i was enough leveled up to finish the story. The most important factor allowing me to play at my own pace was the skip button, which genshin doesnt have. And full honesty i dont care about genshins story at all. There are so many books and games our there if i want to read or play a story.
So this is a bit long of a comment but i want to remind people that i wish the current genshin players fun and this update looks incredible. I just wish i could experience it too without getting bored on the way to the new region.
I second✋
We've had sensors that shows you where a chest is in genshin since 1.1. Wuwa has skip button, but when I played during launch it was only on those small unvoiced parts. The main quest that you had to progress through was unskippable so I just spammed though it. I don't know if that has changed in 1.2 or nah.
@@oh-noeit has
@@loaderboter3026 bro don't care about story while playing on going games 🤡 like watch ongoing anime without wanting to know the story.
tbh, I never expected natlan to be... how it is right now, Idk the word for it, fun and vibrant? I was expecting a more volcano manor/Mt. Gelmir from elden ring or death mountain from OoT vibe.
WuWa really made hoyo sweat. We love to see it
What??
WuWa didn't even register as competition to HoYo, but you can keep dreaming.
Also, learn a few things about game development first, you will realize how stupid you sound. These things have been in the works for many months, if not close to a year.
9:08 we also need new map pin icons. like a treasure chest icon, or an hourglass icon, or butterfly icon. or just any new icon designs. i’d even be fine if they’re just new simple shapes like a triangle or a circle. i just want new pin icons.
and we also need a system where we can turn on and off map icons that we have placed on the map. sometimes i just wanna see, say, the flower icons i have placed on the map without seeing all other stuff on the map.
I'm hoping enviosity would return to cover this as well. I miss his content despite the drama going on. I'm sure he will be super excited about these changes genshin finally made.

Genshin must have a new *producer* for all of these "gift that keeps on giving" updates. There's no way the previous producer would be this generous. Either way, thank goodness if that's the case, genshin could rise again if they keep this up.

ugh finally native America-inspired region, the character animations are so on point, amusing, and cute SO EXCITED FOR THIS REGION
I was really hoping that the free 5 star would be something interesting, I mean, if you've plated Genshin for a while, none of those standard banner chars are really that interesting anymore, or you already have them (i have gotten Jean EVERY freaking time i lost my 50/50) I would rather have a new free 4 star from Natlan region.
Thank you, I don’t why people think Genshin listened, the only reason they even allowed a free 5 star is due to competition
Competition...yeah then TOF just existing is also the reason since clearly a game just existing is "Competition"
@@demonking-zm3rs what?
Then you don't know what tf you are talking about. There's literally a lot people that don't have any of the characters like me and also many players that want to get a cons of specific characters.

I just posted posted a comment about this (but going into a bit more detail)
Nah sorry but the ship has long sailed for me. I'm not going to praise Genshin after they've been ignoring people for 4 years just because they FINALLY start to make some decent changes because they now have competition. No, sorry. Their competition has been more gracious and customer friendly from the start, and i have too much build up disappointment to care at this point. Also, how nice of them to finally give us a free standard selector. Would've been amazing 2 years ago when these characters were at least somewhat useful but now, NOW they're graciously granting us a choice when not only they aren't as useful anymore, and most players already either have most, if not all of them.
hyv back then: complaint all u want, but we wont implement them.
hyv now: praise us bcos we listened our players. So after 4 years, we’ll implement 1 out of 264637 suggestions you guys gave
LoL. You don't understand consumer metrics & retention strategies. As a software developer myself, Genshin team is doing everything by the playbook & timing things perfectly :chefs-kiss:
They never needed to give away free 5* selector in the first 3 years, bcoz enough people would still continue to play it because the quality of the product is just that good.
The products that are not doing well, are actually the ones that release free giveaway early on their lifetime which indicates their poor performance, a try to boost their sales.
Genshin needing to do this 4 years later is a testament to their inherent quality others could only crave for.
And people like you are a tiny section that don't matter in their overall picture. i.e. You are not 'most' of them...
Hoyo doesn't even need your praise either lmao. Not all are lucky enough to get all the character in standard banner even the day 1 players (I still don't have Tighnari), so don't generalize and just speak for yourself. If the game was too much disappointment at your part then why the heck are you still playing? Just quit and move on, seriously it will affect your mental health. Game is suppose to be enjoyable and not a chore bruh.

Still remember the older days when event requires you to use resin to do, time flies, and now genshin is getting so much better
Ngl, for the longest time I never think Genshin would be somewhat generous. High hopes for the future of their game, and excited for Natlan.
