There's an achievement for getting all 3 choices right. For me it's that damn Ten Wang or whatever - the girl that wants the 'taste of Liyue' in Inazuma. Because every second that you're not in Liyue, you should be asking yourself, "Wonder what's happening in Liyue?"

Man I finished up a few routes in Yun Jin's hangout, and the one where you're fighting the dummies while she sings in the background, I was dying laughing by the end.
No disrespect to China or it's opera, but holy shit I don't know how you sit through that without laughing. Then you have the NPCs talking about her performance "she has the voice of an angel". I haven't laughed so hard from a videogame quest in forever.

It's either little anime girls or anime dudes straight from a BL manga. Pick your poison.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so it's probably best if you google image search it for yourself. Make sure that "Safe Search" is off so you get the most accurate results.What a BL manga?
Do I even wanna know?
Apologies in advance

There are some male characters:
then there are some female (male) characters:
There's an Oni:
But the vast majority of the better characters are female.
But yea, the game's fun. If you never played gacha type games before, it's best to set your expectations for that piece of it early, but you can enjoy hundreds of hours of gameplay for totally free.

It's a clone in as much as there's a ton of exploration, climbing, gliding, collecting stuff etc. There's not really a physics system that you can manipulate, but the actual battle system is leagues better than BotW and there's an interesting elemental system at play with different reactions depending on the elements involved. Just a heads up, the better areas are generally the later released ones, so for the first ~20 hours you'll be playing essentially the version 1.0 content. They get some fresh ideas and new puzzle types/exploration mechanics the further you go along. You probably have a good ~150 hours of content available if you like it, without rushing content or skipping things.
The general newbie advice here is to save all of your "primogems" which are the gacha currency, and pink "wishes". The blue "wishes" you can blow whenever you want. These are the materials you use to get new characters and some weapons. It's the only thing you can really mess up by wasting them until you understand what's going on. Everything else is farmable and largely inconsequential (like upgrading gear/characters/etc).
I recommend playing on PS5 or PC. PS4 is kind of a shit show performance wise and we have one phone player in this thread, he seems to get by.

Potentially huge news here. The hit game Grasscutter finally has its own private server. Explore at your own discretion.
github.com
For those that want to play the game a patch or two behind without any gacha or grind. Maybe revert Rosaria changes and costume mods too, depends on how MHY treats it I guess.

I asked "what?" but I meant "where?"

I mean. We still play it as a solo game.
On the other hand, you'd lose events and a reason to keep playing (farming). Also all the drama.

Not sure how interested I would be in playing an off-line version of GI.
What would be interesting (since it allows you to control gacha and currency rates) is using this as a tool that allows you test drive characters with your own parameters/teams. The game's trials tend to suck or flat out misrepresent a character, so getting a better idea of how a limited time character plays with your actual roster would be helpful when deciding to spend wishes.

For me it's not to play it offline now, but I'm a huge fan of cataloguing games and having ways to pay them past when they go "offline". This offers that avenue eventually, and I think Genshin more than most service games stands on its own very well.
I wouldn't stop playing the live version though, the community aspect is one of the best parts for me, and you lose out on all of that if you're constantly a version or two behind.
*edit*
Slightly modified battle theme from 2.7.

Looking for the right box in co-op games sucks.

Yep, I gave up on the 2nd day and just take whatever I get now. it's all paltry amounts of stuff anyways, so it doesn't really matter in the end.

I need the dosh because I'm a poor boy without battle pass. Especially now that I've stopped doing the daily artifact runs.

…wait…people actually DO That?
It’s the same amount of primogems every day…are the other rewards really worth that much hassle?

So it looks like a few more leaks about the demon names of some future archons were leaked due to some Closed beta test unused voicelines. Nothing too interesting.
There's also talk of the Dendro archon design being based off of this character from Honkai, in a similar way that Venti, Yae, and Shogun were all loosely based off of Honkai characters:
I only hope that if this is true, we also get the superior version of her
- Buer = Dendro archon (not sure if the previous or current one) Venti specifically calls the old (previous) Dendro archon a "brawler"
- Focalors = Hydro archon
- Aym = Pyro archon

Nah.
I love the idea of punching as a new style or a real gunfire weapon(like a rifle), but lets not kid ourselves to think that devs who took ages to implement an element which already exists in the game to implement new weapon styles. No, at best it will be something like Shogun or Child with either a polearm or sword as base weapon, the selling point being either a waifu or husbandu and nothing more.

I definitely think that they'll add new weapon types. There's no reason not to, and it would make it so that even long time players/whales have to roll gacha for new weapons.
I think we'll see:
By the way, if anyone on the Americas server needs Geo boxes (weapon upgrade ore), that's what I have today.

- Fist
- Gun(s)
- Scythe (a MHY favorite)

For me prototype drops come in bunches, I just had a couple of swords drop over the last 2 weeks, but nothing before that since maybe early February.
I've had a pretty even spread on the prototype weapons except that I've never has a bow drop from a boss. The bow prototypes I have are from the shops or event rewards.

The ones from the current marvelous merchandise event. There's several kinds of boxes, and every world has a random one. If you want the rewards from a specific box, you'll have to join other people's games to see which one they've got.

Thanks. Didn't realize there was a co-op component.

Man this was a bit too much even for me...
A lot to unpack here, but the most troubling thing is the slightly mismatched monitors in his setup. I just can't handle it
