default psylock is genuinely so good

[deep niche]

[deep niche]

HOLY HOT

[limpid forge]

lowk still p sad that we got loki's "epic" skin for free from bp isntead of luna's epic

[limpid galleon]

🥀

my only luna skin is the s2 bp one

which honestly

i dont like

[limpid forge]

me neither

atleast i don't dislike the phoenix/symbione skin

[limpid forge]

but still fr wth weer they thinking anyway with this skin? 😭

just phoenix/symbiote would've been fine. just phoenix and half ice would prolly look cool with fire effects on her stuff. or just her ice and symbiote with black goo effects on stuff. but instead it's all three and .. no special effects nor sfx iirc?

[molten ermine]

the fact I actually checked

[limpid galleon]

yeah this is genuinely fucking terrible

also

[molten ermine]

bruh what is that 💀

[limpid forge]

the other polarity skins all look p dope but like.. c'mon.. could've just given her golden accents like the others and called it a day instead of freaking ice

[limpid galleon]

taht reminds me

cnd genuinely have some of the best skins ever

[limpid forge]

literally could've just given her dagger's outfit and called it a day even

thing is she DOES have the golden accents bit. and its the half of her skin i like better 😭

[limpid galleon]

i genuinely need to know what the hell was going through the design team

how did it even get green flagged

the real kicker is that ive seen people use it

💀

[limpid forge]

oh that's me

[limpid galleon]

💀

WHAT THE FUCK DO I DOOOOOO

[limpid forge]

stop throwing by playing magik idk /s

[limpid galleon]

bro like

why are my team mates just buns

my black panther genuinely

did nothing

[limpid forge]

tho honestly just looks like they played their objectivebetter

that strange and mag must've been p good

[limpid galleon]

🥀🥀🥀

[molten ermine]

ultron no healing damn

[limpid forge]

their invis lowk did better than your panther

[opal bone]

is true tho

[molten ermine]

ik I checked and it's there

[opal bone]

zzz on steam on stream

real

[limpid galleon]

ive been playing mag because nobody wants to play tank in this fuckass game

[molten ermine]

hoyo would get genshin in soon as well with Snezhnaya release

[limpid galleon]

and im gonna be real

i personally think almost all the tanks in this game except like rouge are boring as shit to play

[molten ermine]

Steam Deck playable finally no

[limpid galleon]

mag is the most boring

i hate playing mag

i truly do

i fucking hate it

but hes good

and i need to win

and my team mates are losers

[limpid forge]

my first pick is mk but my bro gets banned every match now for some reason.

and my next is invis but she's also always picked for some reason

so i just end up playing whoever in comp these days and end up switching to strange for point

[limpid galleon]

i ban thing cause i play magik

my most played characters are magik psylocke and wanda rn

[limpid forge]

and ngl i feel like even though i haven't really ever looked up how to play him i'm doing good enough that i feel like i should just try learning him just coz

[limpid galleon]

on healer i main whtie fox and on tank my main is rouge

[limpid forge]

but then.. to practise means qp and in qp means solo tanking and 1 healer 🗿

[limpid forge]

https://tenor.com/iQkvxKDwBwe.gif

yo that's from the other game

[limpid galleon]

hes so satisfying to play

[opal bone]

idk i dont have steam deck

https://tenor.com/view/diem-archive-demon-roy-mogged-gif-7743681649641435441

[limpid forge]

i ban dd every match i get to no matter if i get to play mk/invis or not

[limpid galleon]

bro my friend who i play with

is kinda buns

and hes a dd one trick

he cant play anyone else and hes buns on dd

last game i played

he went 40 - 25

[limpid forge]

give him this one from me 🖕

[limpid galleon]

HES NOT EVEN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

HE "DIVES" THEIR TANKS HEAD ON

[limpid forge]

wtf is 40 25

[limpid galleon]

😭

[limpid forge]

how long was the game wtf

[limpid galleon]

yeah it went over time but uh

[limpid forge]

[limpid galleon]

for comparison i went 53 - 13

[limpid forge]

my fav overtime moment was like back in s1? 1.5? when i'd started maining mk and it was like uuh gold 3? silver?

i got 60 kills or smth and ended up losing coz one of ours dc-ed and 5v6

but then the enemy chat was praising me for some reason

ig it was the first for every one of us

[limpid galleon]

[limpid forge]

[devout steeple]

8 mins

[plain portal]

Will there be 3.0 tease here...

[cosmic kernel]

Idc if I bricked Silly by not pulling Lucia

[limpid forge]

@dense lantern genshin smol livestream in 6-7 mins

[devout steeple]

Maybe

But I don't think they'll overlap it with genshin's stream

[plain portal]

Isn't genshin just dev stream they'll just publish the whole video

Like zzz did

[devout steeple]

Not sure

[opal bone]

who the fuck cares bout merch

[thorn sun]

[flat elk]

a teaser for a teaser gg

[opal bone]

fucking fucks

[thorn sun]

[cosmic kernel]

Is Steam in ZZZ? Billy said that ZZZ entering Steam is a good news for pro gamer like him

[devout steeple]

Lowkey sounds like a mondstadt aq

[flat elk]

wow wind rises, i wonder what new element 3.0 will give us

[opal bone]

its coming soon element

[plain portal]

Time for snezhnaya concept art show

[opal bone]

i wonder if they'll sneak any new char

but im fine with just ingame environment and map

[devout steeple]

Man can we atleast get a tsaritsa art or something

[opal bone]

ITS STARTING

[cosmic kernel]

50 seconds

[devout steeple]

Man genshin always impresses with the sets

The fucking dedication

[thorn sun]

what's starting?

[plain portal]

Oh it's actually stream then

Alright see you guys in whenever it ends

[opal bone]

ur so delayed

aquaria is already speaking

[devout steeple]

Btw can they release that saurian shirt

HOLY FUCK

[opal bone]

HOLY FUCK

[devout steeple]

ACTUAL GAMEPLAY

[opal bone]

I CLENCHED MY FIST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[devout steeple]

I pogged

[cosmic kernel]

I haven't played FOR A WHILE, I think I'll be back to play for the story

[molten ermine]

bro oh my god this is actual beauty.

I NEED A WALLPAPER OF IT???

[cosmic kernel]

The bg song has that Slavic/Russian vibes

[cosmic kernel]

The song could fit well with one of Fyodor's book that has been turned into a film/series lol

[opal bone]

ON A MAP THIS SCALE

WHAT ARE THEY IMPLYING

[devout steeple]

We are getting train domains

[cosmic kernel]

Bro, i'm on tv, it can't be sped up for fuck sake

[cosmic kernel]

THEY'RE TAKING REFERENCE FROM RESIDENT EVIL???

Sorry, didn't mean to tag

I think Snezhnaya map could genuinely break PS4 lol

[devout steeple]

PS4 genshin is dead

[cosmic kernel]

I meant that if they still force it to release on that

[molten ermine]

no shit bro

to be fair PS4 itself is 10+ year old

[cosmic kernel]

Are there any hate on Hoyo for announcing that they will retire PS4's updates?

[opal bone]

WHAT DID I MISS

[devout steeple]

They already teased stellar

Not shown

[cosmic kernel]

To the future...

[cosmic kernel]

Let's see.

[devout steeple]

Stellar is crowd control

[opal bone]

thats lame

sandrone is literally near

[spiral schooner]

we joining the fatui for sure

[devout steeple]

Idk how to interpret that statement it's field effects?

[cosmic kernel]

I think more like infiltration

[unreal zenith]

astral express returns to belobog yay!

[opal bone]

that diluc catching strays acc will never surpass 0 days

[cosmic kernel]

Bro, the moment we got a skin for MC in Genshin, the skins started flowing in

Now, let's see for HSR

[long lance]

singer?

[cosmic kernel]

I think that a few months ago, I asked if by retiring PS4, will Genshin gets a graphic upgrade, I think that question will be answered in Snezhnaya update

[thorn sun]

what we got

[cosmic kernel]

You know, the right way to release either Snezhnaya or Khaenri'ah is to release it exactly on Genshin's anniversary

[devout steeple]

Snezh is covered snow

And has trains

[cosmic kernel]

Marks the end right on the beginning

[devout steeple]

It's traveller

In fatui gear

Oh hey

[opal bone]

snezhnaya2026812

thats our 7.0

[devout steeple]

It's confimed

[cosmic kernel]

Doesn't that look like Zhongli's suit's color

[devout steeple]

We ending at 6.7

[opal bone]

SIX SEVEN

[pallid tangle]

Snezhnaya20260812

[cosmic kernel]

Is that a code?

[pallid tangle]

yup\

200 primos

[pallid tangle]

turns out it's actually a full blown stream

[plain portal]

2026 08 12 I think we got the date

[cosmic kernel]

It's more like a premiere if we go by Genshin's youtube

[fringe cairn]

that was more than expected

[pallid tangle]

oh man 4 months

[long lance]

oh shit

[pallid tangle]

im not ready chat

[cosmic kernel]

Chat, let's list when you guys started playing

[plain portal]

https://youtube.com/shorts/FNZAjRHTWws?si=5HUf-NIQrZpzrUox

Can't wait man

[cosmic kernel]

Me: Launch date

[devout steeple]

October 2020

[pallid tangle]

when did 1.2 come out

or 1.1 rather

[plain portal]

Riding on personalized train

[bright wasp]

Launch, sept 28, 2020

[cosmic kernel]

6 years.

[pallid tangle]

middle school and high school spent playing this game

[opal bone]

list dn

[cosmic kernel]

6 years this game has accompanied us

[opal bone]

i started 2 days after launch

[thorn sun]

any other codes?

[opal bone]

thats the only code

[pallid tangle]

that was it i think

bro i hope the trains have an interior

[thorn sun]

primo codes

[opal bone]

code dn

[pallid tangle]

i wanna experience that sh like im actually in russia damn it!

[opal bone]

now time to see what the ingame environment has shown us

[pallid tangle]

WAIT

IT ACTUALLY DOES

[thorn sun]

it rly looks like they're going for a late 1800s russia

[pallid tangle]

YOOOOOOO

[steep rivet]

im just praying the map is big

i doubt it though

[thorn sun]

so before the revolution but advanced enough to have the railway running

[steep rivet]

all that word fluff and anyone with a brain can tell theyre making cryo sound big and strong just to sell cryo reactions

[thorn sun]

probably the safest period to base the game on

[pallid tangle]

i mean it is the cryo region

and cryo ingame has like

[steep rivet]

yeah but the element itself will always suck

[pallid tangle]

fair

[steep rivet]

theyre just going to make "new" reactions that are just powercreeped versions of existing reactions

[pallid tangle]

i rarely see melt utilized in these times

if ur not playing mav that is

[steep rivet]

melts fine

superconduct and whatever else though

has anybody ever cared about them after like 1.X

[pallid tangle]

oh wait freeze too

freeze is broken

[steep rivet]

freeze is probably the worst reaction in the game

it actually gives zero damage benefits

[thorn sun]

burning

[plain portal]

New skin incoming?

[steep rivet]

theres shatter but literally no one knows about that

[steep rivet]

aether actually got a decent skin

[molten ermine]

god snezhnaya out 2 days after my birthday

[deep niche]

Snezhnaya20260812

[plain portal]

Freeze had a purpose it was cc
But then just like anemo cc or any cc it didn't work on boss enemy
And now the reaction is stuck

[molten ermine]

UGHHH I NEED IT NOW

[steep rivet]

my crack theory before skirk was that she would make the devs realize how useless freeze is and fix it but they only tuned it so abyss heralds get their shields normal speed

[plain portal]

And since freeze no longer relevant in most content shatter becomes useless alongside as well

[opal bone]

looks like fontaine's mont esus

buuut i cant see how it looks like from that angle so

[pallid tangle]

i need some crack expert to exactly locate where snezhnaya is placed

north of nod krai

[steep rivet]

im kinda worried because the insane amount of snow is telling me theyre going to use that as an excuse to make the map small because it gives off the illusion of size

[plain portal]

You guys think snezhnaya will get it's own version of frostbite as dragonspine did

[opal bone]

that was easily done by me from hiisi island

but there's not a single lead for snezh now

still looks to be north of everything cuz obviously cold climate

[plain portal]

Ngl I rather have small map with content filled up to top than have big map with empty spaces

[pallid tangle]

its bound to come bacc, i like to think dragonspine was given to us as a taste of what it would be like on snezh

or atleast certain parts of it

[long lance]

shut up

[plain portal]

Of course another sumeru aka big map plus content would be best

[long lance]

all you do is complain

[pallid tangle]

ehem north of dronman port

[plain portal]

Yeah that's what I don't like
(At least it topped badya port)

[steep rivet]

im sorry for thinking dornman port can fit in my backyard lmao

[opal bone]

hmmge

[steep rivet]

or the last NK expansion having waypoints less than 20 meters away from one another and having one puzzle give 20 chests is a sign of there being too little room for more puzzles to exist

[opal bone]

err

[steep rivet]

must have been the wind i have to be imagining it

[opal bone]

did that load

[pallid tangle]

looks pretty north to me

somewhere like around here i bet

[opal bone]

are u seeing what im seeing

[pallid tangle]

tiny ahh pixels? yeah

[steep rivet]

i swear to god if schneznaya is an isolated island with one way in like natlan

[long lance]

shut up

[opal bone]

this part looks promising

[pallid tangle]

it's so surreal to see train tracks everytime

like

all the magical stuff yet a train track is what gets me the most

[opal bone]

this single line is giving me hope

[stone portal]

There's not much land that smoothly connects up north

Nod-Krai is an island, Fontaine is a plateau

It's pretty inevitable Snezhnaya is its own landmass

[steep rivet]

i know

[stone portal]

Maybe some small connection above Old Mondstadt at some point

[steep rivet]

it just sucks

the island thing got old really fast

[steep rivet]

im so sorry

[stone portal]

But I imagine Snezhnaya would start releasing areas near Nod-Krai first somehow

[stone portal]

And move east

[oblique ermine]

I like how there’s a common chest

[pallid tangle]

watch as snezhnaya is as big as it's real world counterpart

[oblique ermine]

Half the size of Sumeru would be great too

[pallid tangle]

yup this totally looks reasonable

[stone portal]

As long as Snezhnaya itself is mostly one solid landmass I'm fine

It being a separate landmass from the others is fine

Just as long as it isn't an archipelago

Which I doubt it would be

[pallid tangle]

me have theory

trains are useless in an archipelago

cuz u would have different trains for each island

[thorn sun]

Hoyo is kinda cooked tbh.

[stone portal]

Not necessarily you can just build bridges

[pallid tangle]

fuck

[thorn sun]

Basing a nation off Russia means you gotta make it massive

That's a lot of work.

[stone portal]

Snezhnaya is definitely gonna have one major landmass, the "tundra" we hear so much about

I'm sure there'll be some areas separated by water but most of it is gonna be one connected area

[pallid tangle]

it's the leadup for 6 years of hype tho so they gotta bring out the big guns

[long lance]

now leave this server

[pallid tangle]

what if the water that separates them is just an ice bridge

[steep rivet]

ill take it

[pallid tangle]

yk how water freezes in the north

[limpid galleon]

@stone portal when do the summer skins come back

in rivals

[stone portal]

Well assumedly during summer

[limpid galleon]

remind me when summer is for americans

[stone portal]

Anywhere from may to august is probably free real estate

[limpid galleon]

[stone portal]

But most likely june-july

[limpid galleon]

and when do the new ones release

same time

?

[stone portal]

Yes

[limpid galleon]

praying for a wanda or magik summer skin

[stone portal]

They would rerun the skins around the same time they make other summer themed stuff

[thorn sun]

Snezhnaya pov

[fringe cairn]

not feeling optimistic about explo charas

[thorn sun]

how so?

did they show something new about explo?

[fringe cairn]

as in new ones

[thorn sun]

yeah but we're likely getting a decently sized region to explore

unlike nod krai

ofc, so far their explo focus has disappeared almost entirely

[pallid tangle]

nod krai is in a weird spot rn

[opal bone]

why add explo chars when they put much focus on snowpiercer train

[pallid tangle]

so i understand why they just didnt do a 6.8

[thorn sun]

yeah it does sound like this will be a thing

you know what that means

[loud owl]

do we know what are 6.6 stygian bosses

[stone portal]

I doubt they'll do luch movement explo

But they said they will put focus on modifying the environment, through reactions and gadgets

[fringe cairn]

can't wait to c q cd CccF 3[dcF] on tsaritsa elemental burst train

[thorn sun]

better pull her now before she's gone

she's as good as its gonna get

oh and also mavge soon

[stone portal]

• they said they'll do more stuff like Flins, Lauma, Nefer etc where they will have unique interactions with the world

[thorn sun]

so boring

finite explo

[loud owl]

will they do more stuff like locked primos behind characters like linnea and varka as well🫩

[pallid tangle]

man imma be honest, i rarely do those

[thorn sun]

pov

[plain portal]

I don't think there's locked primo behind characters

[stone portal]

This is such a nonissue because it should not be looked at as free primos you are missing out on

Spending a 100 pulls for like, what, 60 primos

It's not primos you are being deprived of

[loud owl]

true

its like a rebate ig

[plain portal]

At best you lose out on 5 hero wit

[stone portal]

Also the Varka mini quest for the weapon skin makes sense to only trigger when you have Varka, because it can only be used on Varka

[loud owl]

i got 60 from varkas special boss fight and improved dodging skills😎

[stone portal]

People would be mad if they had a weapon skin they can't use

[plain portal]

Oh varka gave one nvm then but yeah it's 60 only so meh

[pallid tangle]

something i missed is that they still refer to it as the Teyvat Chapter so it kinda soft confirms that there are other chapters after we finish this one

[thorn sun]

@fringe cairn

explo mains move fast

[dire heart]

Everyone watching the teaser and I'm here in lab :(

[flat elk]

dw gang i also don't watch it

[dire heart]

I love you beautiful

[plain portal]

Even within teyvat chapter we still got khanerriah act left

[unreal zenith]

holy furboly zzz in steam!

@dense lantern

[mystic smelt]

guys...if i have c1flins premium team is the prospect of investing in a snez superconduct team good or should i basically skip for now

[old pollen]

So

from what I understand

12 August is when we get Snezhnaya

right?

5 days before my bday

[limber heath]

https://tenor.com/view/evanescia-dance-evanescia-bunny-gif-14755047211995614935

[old pollen]

I have 4 months to complete everything in Genshin before Snezhnaya drops

and I did not go past Inazuma in terms of explorations after almost 5 years of gameplay

I am so stupid

[unreal zenith]

me when i haven't done aranara quest yet

[unreal zenith]

dw, i didn't explore many new locations either

i mean, to 100%

[limber heath]

new map ain't worth doing

they are not fun, there is no feeling of "exploration"

[old pollen]

hurm

[limber heath]

the fact that they keep making map that is just a corridor with chest on 2 sides and you just pick them up as you go through the world quest really makes me feel like they gave up on the "openworld" part of the game

new map

[unreal zenith]

may be it's fair to say for the add-on areas like ToS, but main areas are still open world to explore

[limber heath]

this is how open the new map is

[thorn sun]

to be fair we don't know how big a part of the overworld team is busy with snez rn

[opal bone]

i just realized

7.0 livestream will happen during hoyofest

holy shit

[thorn sun]

nod krai always felt like the genshin overworld team went "hol up, we need more time"

i could be wrong ofc, but if you're gonna develop fantasy russia, that might warrant more time than usual

[limber heath]

as someone who loves exploration, especially out of bound, Sumeru and Natlan were the best

NK just doesn't have anything on the map to "explore"

you stand on a tall tree and pretty much see everythere there are to offer

[thorn sun]

natlan was peak

[stone portal]

Do you think Asmoday paid for the rights to make her own versions of those dragon carriages in the Temple of Space

[devout steeple]

Lowkey I love the dragon things in the temple of space

[limber heath]

hell

[stone portal]

We should have a Fontaine AQ where we take Asmoday to court for copyright infringement

[old pollen]

So

when it comes to tsaritsa

I'm still keeping the Bronya culture

She's gonna look like her, in a way

[pallid tangle]

oh God i totally forgot the HI3 correlation we all used to do on this game

[old pollen]

May be hair, face or clothes

[pallid tangle]

i wonder if that's still the case tho

[thorn sun]

asmoday when a random dragon sovereign comes to sue for damages 6000 years after it happened

[old pollen]

If that's the case, I'll reply to this when it happens

If I forget, remind me then

[stone portal]

Ajaw is from Natlantea so he can be our witness

[old pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/bronya-think-loading-gif-honkai-impact-gif-26952642

[limber heath]

Cryo Archon has 2 legs
omg Bronya also has 2 legs i was right

[pallid tangle]

ait bru

[old pollen]

[limber heath]

people will gaslight themselve to believe the most common traits to be of someone only just because they want them to be

[old pollen]

Bruh

Thanks

[pallid tangle]

god this pisses me off

i didnt trust the interactive map

cuz it got some chests wrong

but i went there anyway and was dissapointed to hell and back

[limber heath]

i'm pretty much not doing any "exploration" in luna version

i will wait until snez

just playing different games for now

[pallid tangle]

think of nod krai as a snezh expansion once it comes out

[limber heath]

most dissapointing region

insane powercreep, bad mad design, no fun gameplay

[runic harness]

damn i didnt know you can speak

[thorn sun]

ayo

[plain portal]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-thinking-looking-what-do-you-want-gif-3598499330704574829

Natlan to nod krai

[solid dust]

Nah bullshit. I call bullshit. They have train tech but only in sneznaya?

[plain portal]

Technically we got the train in simulanka

A toy train

[thorn sun]

fontaine has boat trains

[solid dust]

Mofos be like. Boat travel is boring. Lets make elevated boat travel

🤯

[pallid tangle]

away from all the hilichurs amirite

[limber heath]

idk man, train between islands in Inazuma sounds like a terrible idea

train in forest in Sumeru sounds like disaster

[solid dust]

Bro if they already have engines. Where tf are the cars. Or planes

[limber heath]

bro needs to go back to school

[solid dust]

That sneznaya train definitely aint steam engine. Cause way less smoke for a steam engine

[opal bone]

all hoyofest will show the 7.0 livestream

[solid dust]

😭

[pallid tangle]

MANILA AGAIN ARE WE

cmon.....

[opal bone]

wdym cmon

are u a pipino

[pallid tangle]

yupp

was hoping it would be held on other areas

[opal bone]

its on a different area

one ayala

much better area for me

[pallid tangle]

is this not MOA?

[opal bone]

connected to mrt

nope

that was last year

[pallid tangle]

oh good that's a relief

[opal bone]

Manila, The Philippines: 30 July – 2 August 2026, SPACE at One Ayala, Hall A-D

MOA was hell

2023 is also hell

[pallid tangle]

was sweating absolute balls

[opal bone]

absolute @deep niche

[plain portal]

Speaking of exploration as much of a disappointment dorman port was...Temple of Asmoday was actually good so I kinda get the disappointment but I also don't

[thorn sun]

Trains existed way before cars.

Snez is clearly based on 1800s Russia.

[pallid tangle]

temple of space was the only redeeming factor of this entire patch

after that.. well

[opal bone]

i cant speak of 2024 hoyofest cuz we went on a weekday so there's barely any attendees

[deep niche]

Istg. Given el nino, its gonna be frying balls

[opal bone]

Temple of Space is just average

what carried that area are the new puzzle mechanics

[deep niche]

Still havent unlocked temple

@pallid tangle @opal bone is manila overcrowded?? Or sth like that?

[pallid tangle]

very

[opal bone]

fuck yeah

[deep niche]

Ok i get it

[pallid tangle]

not only is it crowded but the entrace to getting in the damn hoyofest itself suuccked

[grand apex]

There's no way.

[deep niche]

I m not going out of home coz of this weather

[grand apex]

Is that what I think it is.

A PISSLET?!.

[deep niche]

Damn

[deep niche]

Lmao

[grand apex]

After all this time of peace and happiness.

[opal bone]

did u experience 2023 hoyofest

its way worse than last year

[thorn sun]

also btw
if all we get in snez are ONLY the areas they just showed, it's more exploration size than nod krai

[pallid tangle]

i only ever went to last year's, hoping it wouldn't be like any of the other previous years though

[opal bone]

we went on a weekend and it only took an hour on queue to get the bracelet

[deep niche]

I hope silverwing nex mommy cryo archon pls istg john genshin

[opal bone]

i went on first day of 2023 hoyofest and the line is absolute chaos

[pallid tangle]

what pissed me off is that people we're reserving spots for their friends that hadn't arrived yet

[deep niche]

If its here, i think it will be less crowded.

Or more

Cant say

The public wants anything they can put on insta stories

[opal bone]

last year was good and bad, they handled the queue to entrance well, not the booths

i still think 2024 was the best

[pallid tangle]

not that much cosplay goodies last year iirc

so im hoping to get better pics this time

[hidden star]

[deep niche]

Dau cosplay

[deep niche]

Which one?

[opal bone]

joe mama cosplay

[plain portal]

Nah it was good the lore the scenery the puzzle all were there
If anything my only complain would be it was not as big as i would've liked but then that's been the problem since natlan

[opal bone]

im only speaking in terms of exploration

[deep niche]

Oo codes

[opal bone]

the traversal is meh

[opal bone]

the area is fine

the scenery and the stuff is good

[opal bone]

snowpiercer

[stone portal]

And then some general talk about what sort of mechanics to expect from Snezhnaya

Notably memtioned was the ability for reactions to modify the battlefield, so expect stellar reactions to create stuff on-field

[hidden star]

That's the only actual interesting info we got? 😭

[stone portal]

I mean it's not the full region reveal stream

[deep niche]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/MiyabiMains/s/Zvnd7xsoHT

😭 😭

Goddess

[opal bone]

we are buying that

[plain portal]

Tbf traversal was never going to feel good after natlan
But yeah I get that they could've used better environmental traversal

[stone portal]

Will it come with effects tho

[deep niche]

@opal bone buy for me pls. I beg u

[stone portal]

Gold/black skin but blue attacks

[opal bone]

fuck u i cant even buy membership

[deep niche]

Oo i saw somewhere with white atks and vergil skin

[deep niche]

[stone portal]

Okay so you can buy the $1 pack, filthy whale

[thorn sun]

hoyo trying desperately to show more miyabi skin without making the outfit tacky

[cosmic kernel]

Does anyone have the approximate time for the whole 2.8 ZZZ update?

[opal bone]

what

[cosmic kernel]

Me or Eron? If Eron, I think he's trying to say that Hoyo is trying to make Miyabi more erotic while at the same time still modest

[opal bone]

<t:1778036400:R>

[plain portal]

Electro charge with water
Geo with mines
Probably something similar with snow then

Just gotta wait for new reaction

[cosmic kernel]

I meant the duration of the update

[opal bone]

oh

i dont think they mentioned it

[thorn sun]

dude

[plain portal]

Sometimes I feel regret skipping miyabi
Today is that day...

[opal bone]

ohh

[thorn sun]

explo main detectives

[cosmic kernel]

People say that 2.8 could be the duration sacrifice update to make 3.1 starts right at anniversary

[opal bone]

still the normal patch 6 weeks

[deep niche]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-worship-worshipping-now-bowing-gif-12297363

[opal bone]

2.8 is june 17th

[cosmic kernel]

Okay, HOW LONG IS 3.0? SURELY THEY WILL NOT SACRIFICE THE SEASON 3 UPDATE DURATION, RIGHT?

[deep niche]

I want snezhnaya to be bigger than sumeru

[thorn sun]

again like, look at the teasers

this is a big area

ignore theoretical, only look at what we see

we see: likely capital city, village on the left

[deep niche]

Nice

[hidden star]

This is very Harry Potter aaah music

[cosmic kernel]

To see how big, just take a look at how long we must walk from entering the region into the main city

[thorn sun]

if i were to wager a guess, that teaser by itself looks to encompass an area bigger than dragonspine

with the city instead of the mountain

[deep niche]

More baroque inspired osts in genshin 🤌 😙

[cosmic kernel]

Now that I think of it, if they want, they could do it, probably either sacrificing the duration of 3.0 banners or make the 3.0 banners enters 3.1 too

[opal bone]

the positioning doesnt make sense tbh

[cosmic kernel]

And I'm coping for it to be the latter, not for me, but everyone who's eyeing probably Velina

[deep niche]

Anni is in 3.0 instead of 3.1 iirc
Ot the other way round.
Basically not when its supposed to be. So yea

[thorn sun]

bro talking about trains in snez

what do you mean bro
how big is the map huh

HOW BIG IS THE MAP

[deep niche]

'this' big

[opal bone]

now you're also coping

lmao

that single line is giving me hope about the map size

[thorn sun]

https://youtu.be/2iu7xGqiNzM?t=355

[opal bone]

yeah i know i've been replaying that

[thorn sun]

what does bro mean

give me more explo crumbs

[thorn sun]

there's another video too btw, i wasnt able to download it tho

[cosmic kernel]

Watch the dev talk around 16:40 minutes, PLEASE!

[thorn sun]

2nd vid

[fringe cairn]

oh, you can see the interior of the train

[deep niche]

Tmrw

[thorn sun]

here we go

[thorn sun]

yep, likely we can ride in the trains

[cosmic kernel]

Forget it, I'll help.

[plain portal]

Tsaritsa e starts playing "Wildfire" and rams the train on enemies

[cosmic kernel]

Even nerfed, still better than Wanderer lol

[cosmic kernel]

I meant nerfed outside Natlan

[fringe cairn]

witness the will of the weak moment

[plain portal]

"The environment of snezhnaya is cold characters who wear skimpy clothes will freeze to death"
New game mechanic leak...

[thorn sun]

she was never nerfed

[cosmic kernel]

Except cryo characters, finally making those hoax come true lol

[thorn sun]

we already got lauma who wears the skimpiest outfit in the entire game

in one of the coldest areas in the game

[buoyant ermine]

SHE LOOKS SO PRETTY, actually the bloom queen sorry nilou and Nefer

[thorn sun]

i would not be surprised if fae are gonna be wearing whatever the hell they want

[plain portal]

Lauma got moon juice flowing up hers so she's safe

[buoyant ermine]

Also we got leaks about Sandrone and new 7.0 character

[thorn sun]

btw

[buoyant ermine]

It looks so good omg I’m so sad that I missed the stream

I’m very glad for the snow vibes

They delivered

This is what we needed

[thorn sun]

in snez you too can experience the thrill of being a construction worker on the trans-siberian railway in the 1800s ⛏️

[thorn sun]

also

looks cold af

and big af

[cosmic kernel]

This calls for the-scene-where-the-mc-suffer-extreme-coldness-and-passes-out-until-they-were-found-by-a-passerby
