[weary oriole]

bro , i swear to god, the purpose of these interlude quest is to spawn more questions instead of giving us answers or enlighten us

[blazing raft]

What does the traveler say if you haven't done the 3.3 interlude quest?

[broken sluice]

no line after nicole reveal

[blazing raft]

Aight thanks

[tired ice]

ppl who think the fatui's not gonna be playable: stfu no one cares rooster was in teyvat chapter storyline so he's a confirmed playable 5 star character

[mystic coyote]

i for one welcome papanella into my party

[novel bear]

I'm late to the party but I can also confirm it

That's so wild they put in a failsafe for something like that

Like it should be impossible for that to happen

[clever gull]

Hoyo smart

[echo ermine]

When exactly did the abyss twin side with chlotar?

And during their endeavor with chlotar, was she skeptical of the abyss or was for it?

And what is the “loom of fate” exactly

[outer panther]

Answer to all of these is good question

[novel bear]

A theorist on YouTube thinks that it could relate to the full process of Life and Death with the 3 moon sisters

[ornate sundial]

Maybe it has something to do with "reviving the homeland"

[broken sluice]

as per 3.6 leak ||"The nature of the 'Abyss' is essentially irreconcilable with the elements. However, even the elements of gods can be entrapped and distorted before they are subsumed to become tools of the abyssal will.||, it highly suggests how Abyss can rival the power of the gods. if you are free from the control of the gods, essentially, you are not bound by the predefined fate set by the heavenly principles

you will weave the powers of the seven into your own

ngl i noticed this but i swear i thought i was just trippin

[weary oriole]

Fatui as in? Because we already have two playable harbingers

[tired ice]

some ppl think most of the fatuis arent gonna be playable/if they are they're gonna be re-designed

basically they cant accept the fact that we'll have evil playable characters like childe

[weary oriole]

? what

oh, do you mean more harbingers other than childe and scara?

[tired ice]

i've talked to many who think harbingers won't be playable while they're a harbinger/part of the fatui

cuz they're evil and stuff

but thats just dumb

cuz we have childe

[sinful summit]

Update
||Now known as Kiara, dendro 4* sword ||

[broken sluice]

They're just held captive as how Childe's family are

[tired ice]

yeah and there's nothing wrong with evil characters

dumahh innocent mfs are like "oh my god no one would want to play evil characters theyre bad pls dont hurt me evil bad" like stfu 3 year old

idc care that the fatui harvest kidneys and experiment on children that drip alone is enough for me to pull for them

[lilac summit]

Dendro??

[sinful summit]

apparently so

Did Katheryne just ship Traveler and Paimon...?

this was after mentioning how the people and even the cats are all getting lovey dovey

[lament portal]

i want Baizhu to ressurect Signora only for her to die anyway again and then watch Signoria mains reddit burning.

[weary oriole]

Speaking of ressurection

Bruh i haven't even played archon quest yet

💀

[broken sluice]

then you're missing out a lot

[dark cairn]

Childe is not evil. He is on same level with Ningguang or Ei.

[dark cairn]

I think real point should be "playable" means "one who becomes MC friend"

After all it's "joining MC squard and teapot"

Not all harbingers get potential to be friends. But we get same amount of friends from Sneznaya as from other from 7 nations

[hybrid yew]

Since when did Ningguang get on Ei's level of bad, eh?

The only thing I got on mind was of her orders to seal the exits when Rex Lapis "died"

Which only became bad because Traveler ran, coz' "why the fucking fuck would you run when you ain't guilty, dum dum?"

And also dum dum on her side of things because "Ningguang, Rex Lapis died in the sky and dropped down, what makes you think the perpetrator was anywhere near there?"

[dark cairn]

Story and lore. Or her wish that one day qicin will rule over entire Teivat is not so evil? 😅

[hybrid yew]

I mean... she's not really doing that bad about it, she just aspires to work up like how you'd wanna get promoted and maybe become the leader of a company or smth

And I recalled it as more "I want the Jade Palace to be bigger to see over the entire world"

Which I just took as "well.. I guess you WOULD want the place ya built to get bigger and bigger, preferably without having to use it as a sea monster nuke again"

Am playing through Second Quest rn

. . .

Razor and Mika propping up Bennett about being on the list... when he literally only got picked coz' he's the opposite of where to go coz' of his luck lmfao

just finish the event quests, lots of happening

[weary oriole]

the pillar in dragonspine belongs to celestia, right?

[lusty crest]

it was most likely sent down by Phanes long ago

[sinful summit]

Yep

Each nation that was judged by celestia has one

Mondstadt's one is in dragonspine
Liyue one is in chasm
Inazuma's one is speculated to be on Tsurumi
Sumeru's one is speculated to be in Desert of Hadramadeth

[weary oriole]

yo man wtf spoilers

im only in dragonspine

[sinful summit]

Welcome to #・genshin-spoilers

[lusty crest]

Bro comes in story spoilers but doesn't wanna see spoilers

Very clever...

[tired ice]

ok so in sumeru the dendro archon told us that the traveler is a descender that means that they descended in teyvat but she also tells us that somehow the traveler's sibling isn't meaning someone tampered with the irminsul (it's a tree that the dendro archon's consciousness is directly connected to also it records everything in teyvat) to change the info that their sibling isn't a descender haha I just gave u spoilers cry abt it should've never came here

[weary oriole]

How did the akademiya extract divine knowledge?

And when they did, what happened to the scholars?

Did they stay mad or were they devoid of memory

[hollow vessel]

Personnnaaa!!

[tired ice]

||nahida is actually 5||

oh wait lemme spoiler tag that just in case smn doesnt wanna see spoilers in a spoilers only channel

[mellow carbon]

I remember in the sumeru trailers they showed a burning tree does anyone know what's going on with that

[clever gull]

A lotta people thought it was going to be Dottore burning down Irminsul

Which tbh doesn’t make too much sense and I think burning down Irminsul would just be the end of Teyvat so I really dont think he would do that

Good point, what was that actually about

[mellow carbon]

It's gotta happen at some point otherwise why show it in the first place?

[atomic veldt]

It's gotta be irminsul

But somebody saves the day ofc

[cedar hedge]

It was just collei’s dream like a preminotion ig

[thorny mirage]

The question might be answered on the new area map (hopefully)

[ornate sundial]

It's probably just a trailer-only thing. Like the one in the 2.0 trailer where Traveler is underwater

[clever gull]

U right

I saw but ||this tree is too fungus like, the trailer one had clear leaves and branches and looked like a proper tree, the 3.6 one looks more like a holofungus + tree||

[grave umbra]

LMAOO

[errant lance]

so

what are they

[clever gull]

8 ladies having fun drinking tea

[errant lance]

[clever gull]

literally me and the besties

yeah

lmao

[errant lance]

[clever gull]

they are pretty important

[errant lance]

which one whispers to us?

[clever gull]

nicole

[errant lance]

i havent started the sumeru quest line yet

[clever gull]

o 💀

well take ur time and have fun

dont try to get into deep lore yet imo because its complicated so I suggest just having fun iwht the main story

[errant lance]

you say that

but i want to learn

3 years of playing this shit and im barely at the iceberg

[clever gull]

thats fair it is pretty interesting I just mean dont fry ur brain lol

genshin lore is awesome

[errant lance]

i dont have a brain to fry anyway

fuck me does this even have so much dialogue

its been 3 hours, god damn

[clever gull]

which quest

[errant lance]

event*

[clever gull]

oh

yeah events have a lot

[errant lance]

yeah but not this much usually

[hollow vessel]

Its giving “eren why are you crying” vibes

[cold quail]

as Ranveer said: It's really complicated! heh ... But you could always stop by #・lore-basement to start with! 🙂

[cold quail]

Or go to the wiki and look up "timeline"... hehe... That will give you at least 3 hours of reading material if you follow up on the other links and key words that you don't know about. 😉

https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline?so=search

So what's the general consensus? Is Hoyo going to force us to go back to the archipelago again this summer? O.o I really hope that it's another venue! 😕

[cold quail]

That actually is pretty creepy! heh

[mystic coyote]

no literally it was cool first time around but the second time felt off
maybe I was just burnt out but there was way too much to do the last archipelago

i wonder how they'll introduce Fontaine and focalors during the event tho
like how they had nahida Skype us

and the whole dream machine thing

[hollow vessel]

Idk man archons be turning people into monsters…familiar isn’t it?

[cold quail]

Send us back to Enkanomiya or somewhere other than the dang Archipelago! 😦

[cold quail]

hehehe

[sinful summit]

The second archipelago is mid
Story is good but the insane puzzles were unnecessary

I couldn't even get the precious chest on mona island w a guide

& I was too dumb to finish her domain by myself

I like the first one much more because of the sense of family

[ornate sundial]

I actually thought that Alice was referring to GAA when she said that it's getting close to that time of year. But it was just about Windblume and J's wedding anniversary

[hybrid yew]

Say...

Who was the Hexenzirkel member that talked of ending her husband's misery?

[lusty crest]

that was J, Scarlett's predecessor

I. Ivanovna N.

[craggy cedar]

Is there any hidden or collectible stuff after we finishing her foes rage like great waters ? I watch some random streaming and the mods telling the streamer to comeback to tanit camp after server reset when he collectijg 4 Babel precious chest

[lusty crest]

when you come back to the Tanit Camps, there's an investigation point to get the Ancient Stone Key at the place where Babel used to stand. That key opens a door futher down the Camps and there's 4 chests behind that door

[craggy cedar]

already did this

is there any besides this one that need server reset?

[lusty crest]

no that's the only thing left

you can get a Crocodile Jerky from Yuften's tent tho lol. It's a one time thing and you can't buy it/cook it so you can only have one

[craggy cedar]

hoo

okok

how abt u see deez nuts

Yinger is hot too bad she got npced

[ionic inlet]

What if captain R = R, Rhinedottir

[mellow carbon]

I believe this theory

[ionic inlet]

it's either Rhinedottir or Nymph one of the captains but i really hope she has connections to the hexenzirkel

[weary oriole]

thoughts on Deshret = Irmin theory?

[tired ice]

it is a theory

[cold quail]

GODS! My "enjoyment" of this version ended like a week ago or so when I finished both the Archon Quest and Dehya's story quest... Then I finished the Windblume event (well as much as I intend to anyhow) and now... We have 28 days to wait until 3.6...................... 😭

[cold quail]

And have to fumble through repeats of prior events! 😟 ☹️

[ornate sundial]

Tell me about it. Fungus Mechanicus is the only one I'm mildly looking forward to

[clever gull]

Fungus amongus

When will they add impeoter gamemode

[weary oriole]

mate what is this bs

why does that sumeru desert chess puzzle activator thing give you TEAPOT FURNITURE?

[wild steeple]

Lmao I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually make a detective minigame event "a la among us"

They've been making minigames of all the trendy genres, tower defense, Mario maker, rhythm, pong, olympics, pacman

[ornate sundial]

Ooh I would love that (even though I've never played Among Us before )

[marble blade]

they did it in the 2.8 GAA

with the Budget Oz's where 1 was lying and the rest were telling the truth (or the other way idr) and you had to choose the one that was lying

[wild steeple]

Despite how big that event was, it completely smudges away from my mind

That's how uninteresting it was to me

[lost knot]

i remember that

i only remember it bc it was my first event

couldnt finish it in time tho

ahhh i would do anything to go back to low ar life

[dusk gorge]

Hi

[cedar hedge]

[novel bear]

It's been so interesting watching my friend go from AR 1 to AR 50 since January

Really brought back memories

[tawdry blade]

It was a nightmare for me to find out who is lying,as a non native english speaker, eventhough I can use my mother language,I kind of forgot most of the word because I am too focused on English

[marble blade]

I'm not a native english speaker either but the hard part was them talking shekesperean english instead of speaking normally

I don't have trouble understanding normal english but my brain was too fried from fischl's speeches for that

[cold quail]

I have an extremely large English vocabulary and grew up watching stuff from the BBC (UK TV), (so I know the English accent pretty well -- her accent sort of swings back & forth between an English one and a pretend German one - which has been confirmed as totally wrong by my German BFF of 4+ Years who I dragged to Genshin...) and I have to admit that Fischl is nearly impossible to understand! O.O I am also really ashamed to admit that when I watch movie adaptations of Shakespeare that I am often forced to have the subtitles up. 😕 I mean Shakespeare was the wordsmith... He crafted so many words that are still in common parlance, but even with my vocabulary (and theatrical background) I have trouble with his brand of English at times. So, don't feel bad! 🙂 Plus with his rhyming couplets, etc., it is really sort of easy to sometimes lose the texture of what is trying to be said! It's like, okay, I'm following this conversation, but then something is interjected into the conversation by, say, another character and you lose the entire thread! That is when it gets bad! 😕 @tawdry blade

[sick topaz]

Science textbooks: Look what they need to mimic a fraction of my power

Some theories in Caribert

[turbid junco]

The "Abyss" and the "Abyss Order" aren't the same. The Abyss already existed from before, and the Abyss Order was only founded about 500 years ago. And the Heralds are originally from the Abyss, not the Abyss Order.

[zealous gyro]

dude was clearly guarding the place there and not lost in time travel or something.

but the theory about the sinner messing with irminsul records could hold water.

[lament portal]

Heralds are not fully abyss it seems because their clothing is similar (the big eye thingy on the chest) with Khaerian.

My head canon is that Liben is a secret Harbringer and Abyss are just pissed off dragons cooperating with old Khaerian royality. Aster pls dont steal.

[mellow burrow]

imagine this is actually the case tho (unless its confirmed 👀👀👀)

[weary oriole]

elo chat

help me recap the story of the divine nails

why were they dropped ?

and were they all dropped at the same time frame ?

[fringe jacinth]

Doesn't Ashikai have video on the purpose of the Celestia's Nails? Even if the video is for theories, I'm pretty sure she lists there when they were dropped and what we have confirmed about them

Found the link:

https://youtu.be/VnpgWjShKXU

[lusty crest]

Celestial Nails were dropped down by Phanes on civilizations that doubted him and no they were not dropped all at the same time. Right now, we only know of 3 : the one on Dragonspine, the one in the Chasm and the one near the Eternal Oasis

[weary oriole]

holdon, is this a summary or a speculative vid ?

[weary oriole]

phanes ? whos phanes ?

did they mention that name ingame ?

[weary oriole]

wait wha..

hmm

ill just read the wiki, i have too many questions

im wonderin mainly what/how/why the nails were droppen on each area

[tired ice]

phanes is getonyour

[zealous gyro]

[cold quail]

Why doesn't Liyue or Sumeru have a giant statue of their archon? Both Mondstadt and Inazuma have the giant statues but it begs the question: Why doesn't Liyue or Sumeru? 🤔 I would appreciate it if anyone has any insight into this!

[weary oriole]

[weary oriole]

None in liyue because they dont have budget for it, so they settled with miniature ones and scattered a bunch of it all over their nation

None for nahida because they dont recognize her as an archon

[lusty crest]

Phanes is believed to be the Primordial One, master of the 4 Shades and creator of the Human Realm

[weary oriole]

yeah, but i dont recall him being addressed as phanes ingame

[lusty crest]

He was first mentioned in the book Before Sun and Moon

[weary oriole]

yeah, but they refer to him as the primordial one'

[lusty crest]

They also refer to him as Phanes

Phanes was never explicitly said to be the PO but it's heavily implied

[weary oriole]

oh

[lusty crest]

When the Second Who Came pulled up, they brought disasters to the Human Realm, which made humans doubt about the PO's ability to protect them. That's why he sent the nails on those civilizations

That was mentioned in the Flower of Lost Paradise artifact set

[weary oriole]

i already forgotten about the events in dragonspine, i only remembered about the 2 lovers, where the knight or something left and when he came back dragonspine is already covered in frost

[lusty crest]

yeah, that's the story of Imunlaukr and the princess

[weary oriole]

tbh, i only remember enkanomiya commiting such acts against the gods

[lusty crest]

Enkanomiya didn't do anything against the gods tho

they were sunken to where they are but it's unknown why

[weary oriole]

wasnt it brought down cause of the events of the second comming , and then they demanded PO to do something about it

or the big snake thing did something

holdon

[lusty crest]

Enkanomiya was part of the Unified Civilization so yeah, they also asked the PO to solve the SWC problem

but that's not why they got sunken down

[weary oriole]

ohh, it wasnt brought down by a skynail

[lusty crest]

Enkanomiya believed in the PO and the shades

[lusty crest]

there's no Celestial Nail in Enkanomiya, you're mistaking things

[weary oriole]

wait , was it mentioned how many skynails the celestia dropped ?

[weary oriole]

my bad

[lusty crest]

we only know of 3 : the one that dropped on Sal Vindagnyr, the one in above the Chasm's bed and the one near the Eternal Oasis

[weary oriole]

the one in eternal oasis is the one that cause the massive sandstorm right ?

[lusty crest]

it's theorized that the fog on Tsurumi could have been brought by a Celestial Nail too but it's still unknown. The fog came when debris fell from the sky

[lusty crest]

yeah

[weary oriole]

damn

genshin got too much lore they can prob make an anime out of it

wait...

[lusty crest]

well it's in the works

with Ufotable

a long term project

[weary oriole]

i hope its about the past, not a recap of our journey

[lusty crest]

that would be cool

but you also gotta factor the fact that the game itself needs to have important lore in it

for example i doubt that we would see the Cataclysm in the anime before it's shown in-game

cause that's a heavy plot point

[weary oriole]

[lusty crest]

they need to keep crusty lore for the game itself

[weary oriole]

oh, they can add extensive cutscenes for it

or flashbacks

[lusty crest]

it's an idea yeah

but for that they would need to show it first in the game

can't extend smth that was never seen in the first place

[weary oriole]

like after the event of stormterror, the anime can do a flashback of the old monstadt

[lusty crest]

that's a possibility, yeah

[weary oriole]

alright, game development takes about 6 years

what about anime series ?

any info on when can we expect the anime ?

[lusty crest]

no info

btw it's unknown wether it's 6 years for game development or not

[weary oriole]

usually 6 years or somethin

4-6

[lusty crest]

Natlan/Fontaine/Snezhnaya/Khaenri'ah/Celestia maybe ? : that would make 5 but they could extend it and explore way more

[weary oriole]

ahh, i mean, like from ground zero

[lusty crest]

Honkai has been up for 7 years

[weary oriole]

genshin took like 4 years but its a live service game

they started developing it in 2016 and released in 2020 iirc

[lusty crest]

2017 and released in 2020 yeah

[novel bear]

And won't finish for like 3 more years

[cold quail]

hehehehe 😉

[cold quail]

I guess I can see that... But it just feels as though those 2 nations are LACKING somehow! O.o I mean, the people of Liyue adore(d) Rex Lapis! O.O

[cold quail]

And, again, in Sumeru why isn't there, then, a huge statue of Lord Rukka? O.o

[cold quail]

I read (on a reliable site -- I forget which atm) the other day that Hoyo had said that they had planned on 10 chapters if the game is allowed to run its full course! O.O @novel bear

[turbid junco]

for Liyue, I heard that it has something to do with some Chinese culture stuff, that's why they don't have one.
for Sumeru, idk......

[cold quail]

Hrm... I know I've seen VERY large statues of the Buddha! O.o (See image) So IDK if that's necessarily true or not...? Unless it's that he was a philosopher as opposed to a deity? 🤔 (Or perhaps their current religious views prevents them from doing this in the game?? O.o ) (I've also always found it odd that the Chinese have adopted the Buddha from India where he was actually from! O.O And yet their statues of him look Asian as opposed to Indian! heh)

[ornate sundial]

Isn't the statue in Inazuma of the Omnipresent God? And we still don't know who she is

[cold quail]

Is it? I always presumed it was some idealized, child-like version of the Raiden?

[ornate sundial]

Yeah, it's not a statue of the Shogun

[cold quail]

Hrm... 🤔

[cold quail]

I was just reading about the statue on the wiki. It says that it is most likely a statue of "Istaroth" and (and I've never noticed TBH) "the pillar that the statue sits on, which is damaged and does not match Inazuman architecture" possibly indicating that it had been moved from its original location to Inazuma... Possibly from as far away as the Thousand Winds Temple in Mondstadt! O.O

https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Statue_of_the_Omnipresent_God

Ei just says that it represents "Eternity"...

[ornate sundial]

Yep, it's really interesting to me

[cold quail]

Now I feel like I need to load the game and go look at the pillar! 😄

[ornate sundial]

The trivia about the distance between standing on its hands & sitting on the hands of Venti's statue is very interesting as well. I wonder if it's just coincidence

[cold quail]

Heh... When has Hoyo ever left something up to coincidence? 😄 I mean, at times it seems as though they must have this REALLY HUGE whiteboard with all of these lines running all over it connecting everything from seelies to the worst of the worst enemies to the statues to only the gods know what! 😄 Alongside a REALLY LARGE volume of the Ars Goetia with the Gnostic tree of life wall-chart hanging above it! 😄

@ornate sundial You know I'm right! 😄 😉 hehehehehe

🙂

Yep... Gooooood ol' Solomon... I've seen his sigils/keys used in everything from movies about the devil to offbeat/virtually unknown paranormal movies to religious texts to video games such as "Drowned God" which is quite old now but amazing! hehe I actually studied some of this... But I've forgotten a lot of it now! 🙂

And it and the "Tree of Life" in Gnosticism are alllll related back to the Hebraic "Tree of Life"...

(Which, if history bears out -- and it usually does -- was, in turn, based on something earlier! 🙂 )

"70 60 30 more to Kether: Crown of Crowns. As Above, so Below. Descend the Spiral Stair to Malkuth: The Earth Gate." -"Drowned God"

smiles happily while accidentally becoming INCREDIBLY CRYPTIC! lol

[signal mirage]

what are these structures

i saw the same one in inazuma

i collected some stuff and gave it to dude inside for a prize

do they have a story

the girl on the beach was talking about something called legend

[cold quail]

(laughs) because no one commented on any of the rather obscure/cryptic/esoteric things she had to say! LOL 😄

[tired ice]

how abt you focus on deez nuts

doomguy absolutely stomps on everyone in genshin

doomguy would rip zhongli's limbs apart without breaking a sweat

[weary oriole]

omg its you

[weary oriole]

you REALLY seem to like that 😄 emoji..

[mystic coyote]

to be fair the ars goetia and gnosticism is pretty interesting
I'm just enjoying her excitement

[weary oriole]

idk what u said but you seem smarter then me

[cold quail]

My entire life has been about "good stories". 🙂 I'm an unpublished author, at heart, who should have been published a long time ago, except for the fact that I have virtually no self-confidence nor self-esteem... (shrug) But even when I was doing live theater it was allll about getting up there and making the audience believe that the story you were a part of was true... (At least for a little while!) So, of course I thrive on good stories! 🙂

[cold quail]

Studying all of that esoteric stuff was (for obvious reasons) good stories as well! 🙂 I think, in the end, virtually all religions are only good for stories! 🙂 But I studied all of that stuff really hard and was 100% serious when doing so! 🙂

[weary oriole]

cool 😅

[velvet sail]

I’m lost in regards with tatarasuna. If scaramouche was able to purify it before, how is the environment still bad before we cleansed it?

[ornate sundial]

They were using the Mikage Furnace to smelt Jade Steel which is used to make swords. But the furnace used Tatarigami energy. The Tatarigami energy eventually reached high saturation levels which caused the furnace to shut down.

[mystic coyote]

i think the tatarigami is like nuclear energy and the furnace is like a reactor
hence why Xavier stated that if the furnace went too far it could explode so violently inazuma would be wiped off the map (iirc)

[errant lance]

im kinda stupid so

why does dain want to stop the abyss order?

youd assume he would support the people he failed to prottect

[mellow burrow]

ugh its stunning

[weary crest]

no way u use geo lumine?

[mellow burrow]

hell yeah

ive mained her from day one

bc instead of doing my mondstat story quests i explored liyue

and i also pulled kazuha my first week of playing the game

[weary crest]

fr?

[mellow burrow]

since day one

[weary crest]

so you got geo lumine right on the first day

[mellow burrow]

shes still not properly build but thats bc i hate farming

[mellow burrow]

i was anemo for a day or two bc you had to to continue the mondstst questline but i hated anemo traveler and explored liyue and got geo traveller and havent looked back

but essentially day one /j

[weary crest]

i switch between different elements every now and then for my lumine

it just cant stick with one

i*

[mellow burrow]

i tried electro and dendro when i got to those respective worlds but i got too used to geo and i cant go back now

[weary crest]

do you usually use her in your teams

or do you just swap her in occasionally

[mellow burrow]

i use her unless im doing eye of storm or other aerial battles

[mellow burrow]

my main team since day one has been geo trav, kazuha, thoma, and beidou

[weary crest]

kazuha on day one? thats insane luck asdjashgdhasgdhj

[mellow burrow]

my sister was literally so mad. we pulled on the same banner and she got heizou while i got kazuha

[weary crest]

lol my friend who plays genshin got yelan using the fates lisa gives you in the beginning of the game

[mellow burrow]

i have yet to get yelan tbh

[weary crest]

yh her rerun already passed so i dont think shes goign to come back any time soon

but definitely pulling for her if she does

[novel bear]

I've been hearing people suggest Eula will either be 3.8 or the first ever triple banners

She should have been now, not the eternal Ayaka

Like I really don't get why they would run Mika with 2 cryo users with zero synergy

If Mika gave an attack bonus instead of physical bonus, I'd understand

[mellow burrow]

what do yall this is gonna be here? this is the upper right hand curve of stormterrors region

[weary oriole]

@weary crestomg new person!

i finally played the archon quest

wtf was that

the abyss already existed way before chlothar alberich discovered it

he was the founder of the abyss order, is he?

this is too sudden

so the mc just fell asleep and somehow tapped into a ley line time memory

hoyoverse just keeps its customers playing with their slow ass lore

so far, the theory that kaeya is khaenriahn and that he is a descendant of an alberich has been confirmed just now

after that two years of theory crafting

[turbid junco]

yes. the abyss and the abyss order aren't the same

[weary oriole]

I'm getting a feeling that there are members of the abyss order who aren't yet introduced

coz the group only consists of the prince, heralds, mages, and the founder whose already dead

apparently the founder of the abyss order chlothar alberich, a khaenriahn royal blood is dead and is buried in a random desolated land near Tighnari's treehouse

all this time

[summer locust]

Yeah I believe that so. Time for Hoyoverse to drop another surprise trailer like Harbingers.

[tired ice]

pls hoyo make abyss members super hot like the fatui and drop a thirst trap trailer again

[plain bison]

|| should be North Mondstadt (Dornman Port) ||

[ornate sundial]

The harbinger video was released 2 days before the release of 2.8. Maybe they'll do something similar before 3.8?

[magic cypress]

copium

but also i want infos on columbina and sandrone

dottore is not my cup of tea

[ornate sundial]

Yeah more harbingers should make an appearance in-game. We only have Fontaine & Natlan left before Snezhnaya and we've only met 4 out of 11 harbingers

[cold quail]

Hoyo has said that if it's allowed to complete its run, Genshin should run 10 chapters...

So there's plenty of content left... and presumably other nations

[summer locust]

Assume if Genshin still relevant in the coming years.

[weary oriole]

the real question at hand is...

who tf spoke to the traveler at the domain with chlothar?

[mellow burrow]

the hydro archon

[weary oriole]

chlothar is a khaenriahn and despises all gods yet he worshipped the floating rock who apparently, only the traveler can hear it speak

he believes that whatever it is, it is better than all the seven gods

[weary oriole]

this is 3.5 archon quest "Caribert"

hydro archon is a female.. the voice in the abyss domain sounded male

the only clue we have rn is what he told the traveler

[mellow burrow]

OH the guy from tbe statue thing right?

[mellow burrow]

we think that phanes, the second who came, the ‘sinner’

you can find more in the lore corner

[turbid junco]

was something done before 1.6 (since it was the last version before next region)?

[turbid junco]

the hydro archon's philosophy is to judge others, not to call herself a sinner
also, that voice was not a she

[mellow burrow]

if you read what i said below that, you can see that i said phanes later

[turbid junco]

i saw that, but why'd phanes call himself a sinner?

[ornate sundial]

No. They did show concept art of Inazuma in the 1.5 livestream though. And again in the 1.6 livestream

[mystic coyote]

i hope we get something to go off of because I'm kinda done with sumeru
it's an amazing nation but I've had enough of it

[summer locust]

And we have like 3 more patches to fontaine. 🙃

3.6 has lore at least to keep things interesting but not sure for 3.7 and 3.8... feels like we gonna stuck with couple of more dry patches.

[tired ice]

fuck celestia all my homies hate celestia

[gloomy spruce]

3.8 will be golden Apple archipelago if it follows the same pattern

[summer locust]

From I heard, this time is not GAA. Is totally a new Event Map that revolves around Eula and Amber.

[gloomy spruce]

I hope it's not the same islands cause I am tired of the map

[ornate sundial]

As long as there'll be a new explorable area between 3.6 & 4.0, I'll be good

[wild steeple]

I think the desert is what's tired most players about Sumeru, fuck the desert

I wouldn't have minded an extra area with greenery again but nope, still more sand

[mystic coyote]

sumeru is turning me into aranakin
i hate the deserts so much
it was fine with the first one! but now we're getting a third one. three. i think the deserts take up more land than all of liyue

[mellow burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-sand-noises-angry-angry-sand-sand-people-angry-sand-people-gif-15181576

sumeru in a nutshell

[lament portal]

Lets hope natlan is NOT a sand and fire mostly too

Please

Pleas ;_;

[weary oriole]

I M SO EXCITIED FOR CRYO NATION

[cold quail]

Oh gods yes! PLEASE no more golden apple archipelago!!!! UGGGH

[cold quail]

Snezhnaya???? O.o

@turbid junco Like you, I'm just sick to death of that map! 😐 I mean I know that they had to make it so that we had to re-explore it and unlock the TP's again, but good gods! 😟

It's just... Hoyo must have something else in their repertoire! O.o

[turbid junco]

same 🥲

[cold quail]

IDK why I have this irrational hatred for that map, but I do! lol

[cold quail]

If you look at the map as a whole (including the extension coming) Sumeru is larger than both Liyue and Mondstadt combined! O.O Not complaining -- I love exploring -- but it is rather large! 🙂 All I can say is: Thank the gods for the clovers! O.o

[ornate sundial]

Do we know where Mare Jivari is supposed to be? When I first heard about it, I thought it was gonna be the Sumeru desert

[marble blade]

I always thought it would be someplace near mondstadt

to the north

[mystic coyote]

i personally think it's in natlan
it's described as an endless field of ash which lends itself pretty well to the pyro nation

[summer locust]

I support this thought too.

Speaking of Natlan, I felt strange that we dont see a direct descendant of them in Mondstadt.

like until today we dont see a Natlan npc.

even a Vanessa's descendant

[mystic coyote]

the most information we have is from inazuma about the hot springs.
besides that and iansan there's not much

although apparently metal in natlan is much stronger than in Mondstadt according to the chains ascension material (idr which one exactly but it mentions a divine flame or something)

[summer locust]

Really? I will check it out later.

[summer locust]

Is a good chance to introduce Dwarf race tbh. But i know they won't

[thorn condor]

Why would we get dwarves i the SA inspired area anyway

They would make more sense in kaenriah

[weary oriole]

the desert expansion until 3.6 has been planned way back the first release of sumeru last year

pretty much, the desert will connect sumeru to natlan there's no doubt

we'll see darker portions of the desert as we can already observe at the southwestern part near dune of magma

exploring in that area is kinda hard for some reason.. since the place is really dark and cloudy even for a plain desert

it's almost as if the sand and ash are both present in the air

[weary oriole]

here's what it looks like at day and night

at day it looks like a sandstorm but at night it looks like bottom of the ocean

[cold quail]

duly noted and investigated. It does seem like that, yes. But because it's Hypostyle, Liloupar can do nothing to clear the view!

[weary oriole]

that's a good point tho

[cold quail]

What I want to know is: I had heard a rumor that they were going to expand Mondstadt and include the "Sea of Dandelions"... But I've not seen this materialize...? O.o

I think it would be nice if they extended the very first area! 🙂 Interesting factoid: When I first met "Sage" outside Mondstadt, I REALLY wanted to help him! I even hunted down all of "The Fox in the Dandelion Sea" to try to come up with a way to help him! But, ofc, no luck. 😕

[tired ice]

desert is under fontaine confirmed 😱 🤯

[cold quail]

So that isn't Natlan down there in the SW? O.o

[cold quail]

Or is Fontaine North of the "Desert of Hadramaveth"? O.o

[tired ice]

it's actually deez nuts. Deez nuts are down there

[cold quail]

I asked a serious question and THIS is how you respond?? 😐

[weary oriole]

Fontaine will be north of every nation in genshin rn

[ornate sundial]

Maybe not Mondstadt

[mystic coyote]

i do think that the name dune of magma is kinda suspicious (haven't really explored inside it so idk if there's actually magma in there) that's gotta be a sign that natlan is the southwestern most nation
i personally think based on observation that Fontaine is gonna be next to the 3.6 area and extend all the way to north of Qingce

since there's a really big river and water in general (there's even a waterfall!)

[livid vault]

There are like 5-6 waterfalls

Man i really wish the real fontaine is similar to this fan design

A city built on a waterfall

[weary oriole]

peak

[clever gull]

ay wait who is this

abyss knight?

oh well obviously lumenstone

[plain bison]

baizhu’s || story quest ost is a banger if you love calm and melancholic flute music ||

[cold quail]

No, no magma sadly... 😐

[cold quail]

@weary oriole & @ornate sundial Yah, I think that Fontaine won't be THAT far north... My understanding is that what is north of Mondstadt is Snezhnaya? O.o

[cold quail]

Where are you looking from in that shot? Just curious! 🙂

[clever gull]

Looks like the top of the Divine Tree, with visual clutter (fog and atmospheric effects) turned off through a glitch

[ornate sundial]

That's what I think as well

[cold quail]

I saw a fan's theorycraft map the other day and that's where he/they placed it anyhow!

[cold quail]

And luckily I won't have to for at least another 3 years! 😄

[cold quail]

Oh you mean in Sumeru? O.o I couldn't play a game without bloom, and volumetric effects ON! O.O GAH

[livid vault]

Top of sumeru city, highest branch

[cold quail]

Yep got it! 🙂 How can you play without bloom or volumetric effects tho??? O.o

[livid vault]

Its not mine, the glitch is kinda hard to do and may even get u banned

For natlan and snezhnaya , i am guessing natlan could be a city built on a mountainside(volcano) and snezhnaya could be a big ass palace

Khaenirah might be a upside down huge city underground

[cold quail]

Ah. But you have to admit that would (should!) drive the average player just BONKERS! Hehe 😉

[cold quail]

Yes, I agree with you on Natlan... It would be the really only (at this point with what we currently know) logical place for it to be: On a volcano! Or at least around a lot of places with volcanic activity! But as far as Snezhnaya goes, there has to be land all around it that we will interact with... I mean, the palace there just can't be that much larger than, say, the Knights of Favonius Headquarters + The Cathedral! O.O

[lusty crest]

It's a Black Serpent Knight

☝️Tutorial (not mine)

[weary oriole]

I've seen this. It's a cool concept, though we're not sure since out of bounds portions of the map can still change. Ngl, i kinda wish this is canon.

[cold quail]

Thanks, heh... But I won't be using that. 😉 hehe I would sincerely prefer not to get banned at this point due to all of the $4.99 per month Welkins Moon payments I've given them! 😄 (Not to mention playing for a total of OVER 2600 hours! 😄 )

[ornate sundial]

I doubt they would ban anyone for that. It's just harmless fun

[tired ice]

waw

[cold quail]

Pretty. 🙂 I've been told a lot of the music in Genshin is really nice and/or Good, but as I have been playing all types of games for many years now any music (especially combat music! UGH!) just starts to distract me at first and then finally becomes agonizing! 😕 (These were the days and games, obviously, where you couldn't turn off the muzak! O.O So that affects how I feel now about ALL game music!) So, because of that, the only time I really turn on the music in Genshin is if I want to listen to the radiant spincrystals in my teapot mansion and maybe change to a different one or if I can sense a dramatic scene coming up ahead of time I'll bump the music up.

[restive sparrow]

omg omg fontaine archon

[cold quail]

So, um... in the video, are you saying he is damp? O.o 😄

[left phoenix]

U gotta stop commiting war crimes

[tawdry blade]

I committed war crime in the past,I am reincarnation of someone I dunno but my dream say it

[cold quail]

Well, according to Taoism (which I follow) most of us are reincarnations of SOMEONE...heh And only 1 in 8 billion was Queen Nefertiti contrary to what many would have you believe otherwise! 😏

[weary oriole]

wouldn't that make queen nefertiti a reincarnation of some monkey from stone age?

[cold quail]

I suppose technically... But the way it works is that you eventually "finish" reincarnating... Thankfully! I don't want to keep coming back to the cesspit that humans are making of things! 😦

(Sorry to all, I really didn't mean to bring religion up... It's all @tawdry blade's fault!)

[tawdry blade]

No it wasn't me,I swear

[flat hearth]

I GOT RICKROLLED A DAY LATER

[left phoenix]

We have fallen victims for his troll to claim his casualties

[tired ice]

now how abt you commit to deez nuts

[left phoenix]

Well the new deez nuts from feastables is kinda fire

Ngl i legit tried one of those

Im glad my pen friend ship deez nuts to my hous

Just try one if u get the chance to be in america

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610ZPQ5E2BL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_FMwebp_.jpg

[tired ice]

i've tried the others they're probs one of the best chocolates in the market thats this commonly available honestly still havent tried deez nuts tho but i will

dont really like eating chocolates much

[left phoenix]

I typically like the ones that are more balanced between sweet n bitter

So yeah its not like every average chocolate i do enjoy

[cold quail]

okay that's just plain weird... I have a very close friend who doesn't like chocolate either. O.o I always look at her like she's possessed. heh

[novel bear]

My father ate a keto chocolate

It was like eating a bar of 90% cocoa

Some things should not be adapted

[cold quail]

shudders at the thought of 90%!!!

And I love dark chocolate! But that's just wayyyy too much! O.O

[ornate sundial]

Yeah that's gotta be bitter as heck

[tired ice]

my dad eats 99%

or like 95 or smth all i know its like close or even 100%

he had me try it once and it was so nasty 🤮

most bitter thing ive ever had in my mouth

[noble raven]

When is Fontaine coming out?

[rare knoll]

4.0 prob

[weary oriole]

August or September? Judging by reruns time duration 44 days per patch.

[rare knoll]

after GAA

if there’s going to be one this summer

[weary oriole]

There's only three patches left till Fontaine. Patch 3.6 will start in April 10.

[rare knoll]

OMG 5 days left

[weary oriole]

Yes but maintenance would prob take in April 11. It is usually a day after the banner ends.

[rare knoll]

right

can’t wait to speedrun the hell outta everything

[weary oriole]

Sorry i checked the dates. Fontaine would likely come early and follow the same pattern of release which is July.

[rare knoll]

what if there were a 3.9?

[weary oriole]

There's no .9 in patches. It's always .8 which is always a golden archipelago patch.

The end of every version

Eula should rerun by 3.7 or 3.8

if not then...💀

[mystic coyote]

eula will rerun in Snezhnaya surely

just need to wait for 6.7 <3

[tired ice]

the amount of copium this dude is on 💀

[mystic coyote]

not copium, i already have her

[cold quail]

Oh gods NOOOO! Don't wish the archipelago on us again!!! 😬

[cold quail]

EEEE! Stop with the archipelago!!! 💀

If Sara is not a Fatui, then why does she wear a mask? Heh (Just got to thinking about this. It's an odd choice for a "fashion accessory"! O.o ) Maybe she's an "in the closet" Fatui??? O.O 😱 (or perhaps only part-time? 😄 )

[ornate sundial]

Sara wears a mask? Oh the one on her hair. That's a symbol of the tengu, which you know, she is one

[cold quail]

I know. hehe It's just that I finally got around to playing against her in TCG to get her cards (I did on the 2nd try! 🙂 ) and was just staring at her the whole time and really took a look at her... But, I mean, like I said it's an odd choice for a fashion accessory! She could just swing that around and go into part-time Fatui mode! 😄 And it is (IRL) a symbol of the "Heavenly Dog" which is considered a dangerous Yōkai!

[mystic coyote]

i heard word about a new, still temporary area instead of GAA, dunno the likelihood but seems like it'd be good news for you

[cold quail]

I just don't see how they could do a third run there! I've talked to several others that are also sick to death of that map! O.O

[mystic coyote]

i was kinda tired when we went back last year with kazuha and xinyan and the gang, but i was glad they at least changed up the appearance of the islands a bit (thorny vines for xinyan, gothic castles for fischl)

hopefully this new hypothetical area incorporates Fontaine styles, just as a way for the developers to mess around with architecture and geography without worrying a whole bunch about the story behind it too much since it would be a temporary area

[cold quail]

Yah that was the theory at the time that the first time we were there they were experimenting with Inazuman geography! I just hope you're right... Otherwise: 😬

[rare knoll]

why more exploration more primos

[cold quail]

I actually LOVE to explore! 🙂 ... But to re-explore AGAIN the same 4 islands? 😕 No, I think we should be given a new area to play sandbox in! (Heh... I just had a flash in my mind of a bunch of us gamers all sitting in a kids' sandbox -- keeping the kids out of it with them pouting lol -- playing with buckets and shovels and making little roads for tiny little action figures to "fight monsters" and "explore"! 😄 )

[rare knoll]

you know what, you’re right, they better make smth new

[cold quail]

Do you or anyone else here want to join me in the large sandbox? We can bully the "real kids"! 😄 hahahaha I SO want to do that now! 🙂 hehe ... Make our own little "Genshin-themed" area! 😄

Or, hey, for those of us who don't like leaving the house much: All Hoyo has to do is release the basic (most basic would be fine) world-building tools to us to make our own little worlds that friends could come visit! 🙂 (No, I'm talking about something better than the teapot!)

[rare knoll]

might as well let us control chests and open world challenges cuz infinite primos

if no chest then that’s just teapot

[cold quail]

I have a feeling that part will never happen! hehehe 🙂 But, no... I mean you could populate it with mobs, hidden obscure places to explore, and maybe some type of chest that would give you coins much like the teapot that aren't going to interfere with the tight economy of Genshin. I personally think it would be a wonderful thing! 🙂 When I first got online -- many moons ago, son LOL -- I stumbled across what is basically a glorified chat program that featured I guess you would call it 2.5D-ish that you could build your own areas in a huge world! I had a friend at the time who had actually bought an entire new world and I had an absolute blast tweaking the geography, creating buildings in 3D Studio Max (and then exporting them into the program's format and then reassembling the pieces I would have to cut everything into!), all sorts of stuff. (No, not like minecraft!!)

@rare knoll (I say "tight economy" because I played MMOs for so dam long and somehow "gold sellers" would get in and illegally sell the game's currency -- whatever it was called -- and therefore all of the prices in the "auction house" of the game would go insane!! 😦 For instance, when this happened in WoW, people were consistently charging several silver for a level 1 sword. 😐 PRIOR to the idiots with their illegal selling showing up that same sword would have gone for copper! 😕 I have seen this happen in game after game and am, for a change, very happy to BE in a game where the economy can't somehow be screwed up!)

[tired ice]

what the fuck are u guys on about

[idle talon]

Xiao has a mask on his waist and another in his animations
Itto has a massive (non physical) mask on his back in his animations
It’s not like that uncommon xd
But now I imagine xiao and itto as fatui members….

[cold quail]

EEE! Don't say things like that! 😄 No good guys can be fatui! 🙂

[weary oriole]

scara and rosalyne don't wear masks tho

[mystic coyote]

ironically most of the harbingers don't wear masks
i think the only ones that actually wear them for a larger amount of time than two seconds are pierro, dottore, maybe capitano, Columbina even though her mask is more like styrofoam
the rest don't wear masks
Childe has one but it's more like a festival mask than anything (makes sense in a strange way tho)

[cold quail]

IDK that I would call it a "festival mask"... O.o It's pretty dam scary looking actually! O.O

[ornate sundial]

Childe wore the mask in the 2nd phase of the weekly boss

[cold quail]

I thought he wears it in 3rd phase?

checks memory files and notes that some have been corrupted and need to be defragmented

runs "checkbrain"

[ornate sundial]

I'm not sure if it's the same mask. He gets a whole new outfit when he does the Foul Legacy Transformation

[cold quail]

ah

the one that I find disturbing is the purple one where it looks like a cyclops...

[mystic coyote]

yeah but I'm pretty sure he wears it on his face only to use his delusion
in day to day he doesn't wear it on his face

[ornate sundial]

Oh gotcha

[ornate sandal]

the closest ive got

[tired ice]

i think they should wear deez nuts instead of their masks

[mellow burrow]

when does 3.6 come out this week?

[mystic coyote]

Wednesday i think

[weary oriole]

around 17 hours left

[mellow burrow]

AH

[fading otter]

im kinda still going through nahidas story quest

but from what I've gathered

the dendro dragon may be the primordial dendro vishap dragon, like the same creature kokomi is supposed to be a reincarnation of or at least have strong ties to, but hydro. The apocalypse the little creatures refer to is what I believe to be the uprooting of the ancient ways from before the heavenly principals came

thats just what i think off of like 2 pieces of dialog though

nah

oh nope nvm i was right

LMFAO

forbidden knowledge just sounds like fancy honkai

holy shit that thing is massive

[glass minnow]

The abyss even predates the dragons, definitely something that ties back to Honkai.

[weary oriole]

on my right theres a giant cyclone brewing and on my left theres some some kind of hole in the sky thats leaking some kind of fckers what the fcks goin on in sumeru

[bright vessel]

Any new quest for the new map? If ever , where to get it?

[weary oriole]

this reminds me of that stuff from dragon age inquisition

[wicked galleon]

So cute

[wicked galleon]

:)) the second half of that is the abyss hole/breach. It's so trippy.

[weary oriole]

we thought the abyss is below us, but it was the sky all along

[icy dagger]

who keeps commissioning us to do this

[weary oriole]

celestia probably

everything we don't know we blame celestia for it

[broken walrus]

Bruh just finished Nahida CS 2

Damn she is one of the helpful Archons around and solve everything through self-sacrifice

Venti just solves it later
Zhongli just seals his problem
Ei just try kill it or fight it
While Nahida concerningly tries to sacrifice herself to help

[rustic ocean]

Oh lawd this place is so freakin awesome

[weary oriole]

it is!

[broken walrus]

Can't believe this is a free game

[weary oriole]

and the ost is fire

[broken walrus]

I am going to miss the desert theme once we go to Fontaine

I hope Yu-Chen Peng cooks up some bangers in Fontaine

fontaine ost will be your next fav

just listen to the mages tea party ost

idk but

it's waltz

it gives me fontaine vibes

Are the dendroculus and dream tree reaching their highest level in this patch? Or is there more to come?

Highest level

Yayy!!! Thanks a lot for the info

i actually said holy shit out loud when i saw this thing

[mellow schooner]

I am just releived that, thats not apep, the leaks had me disappointed.

[brave sigil]

Yeah, I thought we would fight Apep, but it's just its guardian oasis.

[mellow schooner]

Yes

Apep is huge....Did not disappoint

[brave sigil]

As expected, if we would fight Apep, maybe the camera perspective just like we fight Dvalin.

It's so huge, dude.

Even Azhdaha is nothing compared with it.

Yeah, the primordial dragon.

[mellow schooner]

Yesss

I am excited for other sovereigns now.

[brave sigil]

I even speculated that Apep was King Dehsret's subordinate, but Apep IS the owner of desert domain.

Even King Dehsret seek Apep's permission to build his kingdom.

[mellow schooner]

Yeah...the superiority

I want a colour variant😀

How long is it till the end?

Since ruin guard ?

[weary oriole]

i mean its not ruin guard, mostly like labolatory and it tooks a while

just leftover ruins of dharian people

[sharp steppe]

Don't get me wrong but at this point I don't care. I mostly want to know if I'm at least in the middle of this drone quest

[icy dagger]

question is that festival thingy sumeru gonna be first half or second half of 3.6?

[sharp steppe]

I think it's gonna come out with Kaveh

Since tomorrow gonna be different event

[marble blade]

why is this guy getting nerd reacted

[summer locust]

Fk, i cried on Nahida quest

[tawdry blade]

Definitely not a reference to something

It funny how the guy think he can defeat Traveler after seeing him defeat multiple ruin machine,rift howl without a problem

[weary oriole]

someone thinks both nahida SQ are before inversion of genesis. Thoughts?

[ornate sundial]

It starts on April 27 which is 15 days from now. So still 1st half

[mellow burrow]

soroush is so fun you guys

i love her

[tawdry blade]

Glad she didn't "sacrifice "

The world quest is definitely a step up from arana,more combat(I hate it because I main hutao and those stupid wolf..) puzzle that change each time, cool fly pet puzzle gameplay,more lore drop

Amazing scenery, environment and beautiful background ost

I wonder if that is the only abyss rift? Consider the sibling help pari back then and close the rift but it return apparently

[gusty oar]

Are the divine nails already existing even before the cataclysm?

[gloomy spruce]

The one in draginspine and chasm are there before cataclysm idk about others

[summer locust]

Sumeru's one is definitely before too

[gusty oar]

I just got enlightened after Nahida's Act 2. I thought they were brought down to put an end to Khaenri'ah. What are these nails even trying to eradicate?

[pulsar zealot]

Tighnari new voice sound much more 🤓 now

I love it

[idle haven]

THEY SAID THE THING

[wise night]

big boy

[tired ice]

bruh u guys were wrong ||apep and dvalin aren't the seven sovereigns||

oh nvm

it is

[wicked galleon]

Oh okay so its like the chasm lamp then

[limber yarrow]

.....Apep is pyro archon confirmed?

Also, how the fuck did anyone miss the GAINT PROVINCE SIZED DRAGON . The only people not aware of where Apep is and that Apep exists are people actively choosing to ignore its existence

[fading otter]

"creeping filth" bitch thats honkai radiation 😭

[granite quest]

Yet they are

[final chasm]

that one dungeon at like lvl 10 with the bombs was to prepare us for this

definitely

[tawdry blade]

Yeah... They were trying to purify the abyss too but some delusional Khaenri'ah people think celestia is an enemy. After all not everyone is evil

Atleast we know celestia power is stronger than abyss

[tawny mulch]

@final oracle

[final oracle]

yeah i dont really remember what they said about the oceanid

fontaine dude mentioned them

then the elder of the pari mentioned that they went to sumeru like 500 years ago and fought monsters on the way

that's all

[tawny mulch]

Ohh

There must be a reason why oceanid hates the new aechon

[final oracle]

i guess they dont like her at all

or her way of justice

[tawny mulch]

Maybe she allows the mechanic to work in foutaine

Result in pollution

[final oracle]

i wish we see more oceanid lore in fontaine

[wicked galleon]

Just finished the new world quest. I am reminded about how much i hate rifthounds.

Pretty tho

Do we even know who the one arm sage is?

[coarse oasis]

Did anyone notice Clestia basically staring at us with moon behind it once you get to the statue where the little Pari’s live and activate it? After that it just feckin disappear and I almost died..you can’t see it anymore from that spot 😭

[wicked galleon]

Yeah that was pretty spooky

You can also see it when arriving to the new area from a certain angle.

[coarse oasis]

Oh yeah i noticed it, but the moon and everything was so creepy.. and then its just like im outta here but i cya traveler

Leaving me with heart attack

Also the details 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 what a tease..

[granite quest]

Thats shen from league of legends

[tawdry blade]

Peirro maybe? I don't remember seeing his 2 arm

Consider peirro used to follow the sibling but join fatui later

[granite quest]

https://tenor.com/view/shen-melondo-lol-league-of-legends-gif-24701973

[tawdry blade]

Knight design is pretty common anyway

Also,just realised the quest talk about time a lot

[coarse oasis]

At this point idk where hoyo didn’t take inspiration from..mf put even the lord of the rings in along with rings of Nibelung..i am so confused

Also noice dain lore

[tawdry blade]

These out of bound area getting on my nerves

[tired ice]

now how abt u get on deez nuts

[surreal holly]

Will Sorush die in the story?

[tawdry blade]

If she die,why would there be her own event to improve her strength

[tired ice]

now how abt u improve deez nuts

[tired ice]

no please no god no

but no she doesnt die thank god

im just hoping they give her a voice

and make her a playable character or smth she keeps growing and growing in power and becomes playable (tall female please hoyo im begging)

[surreal holly]

I don't know, like Liloupar where we can upgrade her features, she did die and became an empty husk

That's why I asked

If she dies or not because I don't know

[surreal holly]

Oh okay, thanks

[wild ivy]

hELEPEOSK

[final oracle]

does nahida's 2nd story quest have any domains that i can get chests from

[weary oriole]

nope

only new weekly boss

[tawdry blade]

Well,why I doubt she will die is the fact that we can control her,if she is like liloupar,we wouldn't be able to use her and solve puzzles,(I mean control a dead creature is something that not possible)

While liloupar give you more vision in the sandstorm

[signal mirage]

who is one handed sage that pari mentions

[signal mirage]

she doesnt die

i finished all region in one day like a psycho

i regret it

but we cant use her outside the new region

idk why

maybe people will create bugs and stuff

cause when you get to use her the enemies dont see you and doesnt attack you

[weary oriole]

hoyo doesn't want you flying around without using actual mechanism for puzzles

[brave sigil]

Guys, I'm still confused about the lore of new map.

Who's Amrita and Khvarena?

[tawdry blade]

Amrita is their god

Khvarena is power source that can purity those white crystal thing I think?

[tawdry blade]

Peirro? He look like a sage,and used to travel with the sibling

[signal mirage]

head of fatui?

[nova lichen]

Guys, is there another important world quest after "Khvarena of Good and Evil"?

[topaz wadi]

is there more on the door to kahenria?

👬 im still finsihing the main quest line but idc i wanna know

[broken sluice]

khvarena is the energy of purification, by which all the pari came from. it fused with the sea of Amrita giving birth to the Pari

the former hydro archon aka Lord of Sweet Dew / the master of the oceanids died there and turned into a sea of dew called Amrita

[dusk gorge]

Yo

[tawdry blade]

Mountain dew energy drink??!?? No wonder why I feel strong after drank it

So like,those Pari are basically mini oceanic, without water

[tawdry blade]

Yes

[signal mirage]

Also i got an idea for Fontaine

its like Hawaii islands

as we saw on the coast of new region

[final chasm]

why does sumeru have 4 species of little goober but the other regions have 0

[muted ginkgo]

so is there a significance to these things? is there a fourth one i should find for a chest or smth?

[signal mirage]

didnt this 3 gave you luxurious chest

when you gathered those things here and fought with rifthounds

[muted ginkgo]

Nope

Was it a luxurious chest and 3 commons?

I only found 3 and it didn’t give me anything

[signal mirage]

it should summon big rifthounds in the middle of those things

then it will give u luxurious chest

idk maybe ur game bugged

[broken sluice]

Thats not the exact part i think

Its kinda west of the abyss hole

[muted ginkgo]

is there anything for that place though?

[signal mirage]

nah thats the exact part

he knows wrong or he lives a bug

[grand atlas]

Does Nahida’s story quest have any missable chests?

[stable knoll]

Ok so is the apocalypse what happened when Apep ate Deshret

presumably around 1000-3000 years ago

revivifying

[stable knoll]

yo where this

[wicked galleon]

More oceanid lore

[left shore]

this is so scary

[wicked galleon]

Wait til you do WQ

[broken sluice]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/791659075460530196/1096136080635474011/SPOILER_apaosha.gif

[grand atlas]

We can spy on the enemy now

Gang gang wooo

[south bay]

new but not improved pallad

[wicked galleon]

||Door to Khaenri'ah|| is absolutely spooky i dont know why

[broken sluice]

also no need to spoiler hide them

[wicked galleon]

Habit

[tired ice]

now how abt u purify deez nuts

[tired ice]

is sigmurh the bird that holds the khareva power is that the bird?

[south bay]

bruh

[pulsar zealot]

He ded as hell

[south bay]

this khaen deez nuts symbol right ?

[signal mirage]

where is this located

uh nahida story quest

or something else

[brave sigil]

It stated that Fontaine is located north of Sumeru?

Still questionable that why the first hydro archon died in Sumeru region.

Maybe because || The main event of Cataclysm is there ||

[broken sluice]

well, they were all sent to face the cataclysm near khaenriah

[weary oriole]

didnt know theres an actual gate to the abyss

or maybe its actually hell

[broken sluice]

khaenriah

[brave sigil]

I'm here rn in the game, can we go there after completing WQ?

[weary oriole]

you play in asia ?

[brave sigil]

Yea.

Nvm, I got there.

[signal mirage]

how did u enter there

i like genshin's achievement references

when you get to there

it says "Abandon all the hope" in achievement

its a reference to Dante's Divine Comedy and a phrase in the Gates of Hell

[lusty crest]

do the main world quest : Khvarena of Good and Evil

[left shore]

So... That portal thing and shooting a black magic. That's the forbidden knowledge?

I'm too lazy to play the quest

[brave sigil]

Using Kazuha & Venti.

[weary oriole]

hi chat

[weary oriole]

i saw this when there was "khaenriah" leaks never thought it would be an underground location in sumeru

its actually gate to khanriyah, according to lore guys

i played coop with my friend and we reached this area since I can't toggle anything idk if the door can be open

looks like we gonna explore it soon according to the quest, or maybe i just misread it again

not yet

for what i know it's the library of khaenriah that was missing

what i don't know is if the entire khaenriah was truly just underneath sumeru

this looks like it

the symbol of the sun is khaenriahn and there's a lot of engraving in the pillars that almost seems like guards

i don't really know

[weary oriole]

yeep, thats why i thought its the gate to the abyss bec of that referrence

at this point i kinda believe this theory since hoyoverse just keeps surprising its players

[weary oriole]

i mean, some of the quest referenced it, soo high likely yeah

[tired ice]

ye

same symbol on their gate

[tired ice]

whats dante's devine comedy

divine

is that the fatui compapadre drama stage play italy legs thing?

[signal mirage]

a book written in the start of 14th century

[tired ice]

book 🤮

imagine reading

[lusty crest]

the door can't be opened

[weary oriole]

bro if you cant read a book, then they made a game adaptation for it, its called devil may cry

i heard they also released multiple parts of it

[signal mirage]

i dont think dmc fits very well

[mystic coyote]

there are three parts to the divine comedy: the inferno, the purgatorio, and the paradiso
the whole thing is the author-character's journey to purge himself of sin and reach heaven
it starts with the inferno, where he goes into hell with the help of Virgil, the ancient poet that Dante Alighieri admired despite not being a Christian (he died before Jesus was born)
the author-character goes through all nine rings/bolgias of hell, learning about the punishments for each sin, eventually going to the bottom of hell where Satan is trapped in ice and chewing on The Three Ultimate Sinners (Judas, Brutus, and some other guy)
they leave hell and end up at Mt Purgatory, where some people can atone for their sins after death and earn their way to heaven
the climb is exceptionally difficult but eventually Dante reaches the end and we enter the paradiso
i don't remember the paradiso all too well but it's the author-character's journey through heaven, and it's a place of light and divine love as one would expect from the mind of a very devout author
it's a very interesting read even if you have to shuffle around a bunch of strange translations

[muted lake]

The Divine Comedy is one man’s self insert fanfiction of the Bible featuring his obsession with Roman people

[left shore]

About the Dendro Dragon

King of dragons?

Apep, i see that her form is so beeg, so what's that form in the weekly boss ?

It's not that small isn't it?

[wicked galleon]

The weekly boss is her guardian

So we don't techinally fight apep

[river jackal]

Don't think we would actually be able to put up a fight against apep

But who knows

[summer locust]

World quest is fking good as expected. Sorush story is chef kiss.

[hardy horizon]

this hurts my eyes.

you're the one couldn't resist blabbing

[left shore]

I was expecting to fight that big mommy dragon

[wicked galleon]

Since 3.6 keeps name dropping the pilgrimage of oceanid - makes me wonder if we have to take the pilgrimage too once Fontaine is available.

[fading otter]

someone posted apep from afar

hes even more fucking massive than i thought

[signal mirage]

what is this

fontaine?

[fading otter]

the dendro dragon

from the nahida story quest

[signal mirage]

ah i should complete it

[tired ice]

multi billion dollar company after using a 2d template in one of the most significant quests in the game:

genshin is amazing but it's nowhere near 500 million dollar per month amazing

especially when they drop shit patches like 3.5

[marble blade]

3.5? wym?

3.6 went right after 3.4

[signal mirage]

i dont think mihoyo is multi billion dollar company

they started genshin on some low budget cause they didnt even voiced world quests and stuff for some time

and it became a concept i guess

[clever gull]

now they def are

the banners rake in billions

[clever gull]

2d is fine tbh I mean it didnt affect anything right

still looked fucking cool

[hollow estuary]

is the "hydro fungus" voice the same as makoto's voice in english???

I feel like it is

[clever gull]

lol

[hollow estuary]

lmao, even

[clever gull]

rofl, to some extent

[tired ice]

you do know that when a company earns at least 500 mil per month from ONE of their games (they have like 4 or even more), its not hard for them to become a multi billion dollar right?

[tired ice]

but they could've done it better

this is one of the things tectone used to complain about and out of the hundreds of complaints he had, this one is probs one of the few valid ones

why settle for less when u can have more

they're clearly capable of doing much more than what they're doing

[granite quest]

Too much for the game and it only happens for less than a minute too

It doesnt need to be anything more

Not even a bossfight so theres no reason for it to even be 3d

[tired ice]

ok hoyo whiteknight u riding hoyo's 🥩 wont make them give u free c6 5 stars

[wet matrix]

Can someone explain me why apep is small in the domain, sorry if i skip it?

[granite quest]

Thats not apep. Thats one of her kids

The arena you fight in is inside apep

[granite quest]

Your sudden conclusion that Im a white knight just tells me you cant handle people disagreeing with you

[wet matrix]

Ok look like i really skipped something let me watch it again i yt

[tired ice]

you were not even disagreeing with me, you were just saying why it would be unnecessary to add a 3d model. I do agree that it wouldn't change much but it would definitely make the visuals a LOT better.

and they're clearly capable of doing so. And I wasn't just talking about this apep thing, they generally don't deliver at the caliber they should

considering how much they make

playing through the quest when apep appeared it was super obvious that its a 2d model. That would be fine if it was a indie studio but its super cheap coming from a company like hoyo

[granite quest]

Thats already the disagreement. The visuals is already good as it is when you played the questline. Noone was disappointed on what they saw except for you

[tired ice]

cuz you guys settle for less

you do agree that they could've made the model 3d right?

[granite quest]

Youre not even suppose to look at it like this lmao.

[tired ice]

im not talking abt that

when i was doing the quest

it was obvious that it was a 2d mode4l

but as i've already said, this isnt just about the apep model, im speaking generally

[granite quest]

And its perfectly fine as a 2d. It delivered what it was suppose to tell.

[tired ice]

even though the apep model was 2d, it still looked pretty good but they could've made it 3d and it would look even better

[granite quest]

Its completely unnecessary to make it 3d

Just a waste

[tired ice]

see this is exactly the point

u settle for less

most of the genshin community is the same

[granite quest]

Sounds like a you problem

[tired ice]

why settle for less when u can have better?

they could've also done the thing where they just put white text over a black background

like tf is that

[granite quest]

I dont think ive ever seen anyone complain about it except for you

[tired ice]

why do they even do that they literally earn 500 mil every month

[tired ice]

cuz as i said, ppl settle for less and dont consider how much hoyo earns

ppl think the game is free but the game earns wayyyy more than most other top aaa games

[granite quest]

You focus on the wrong shit like apeps silhouette for this

Youre gonna need a better argument for your rally

[tired ice]

you clearly haven't played other top aaa games that don't cut slack on anything

[granite quest]

I dont think that matters but ok?

[tired ice]

it does cause genshin earns A LOT of money but delivers nowhere close to what they earn

if you had played other good quality games, you would know what im talking abt

[granite quest]

Well idk about your AAA agenda but me and the other guys still think the apep silhouette is perfect as is

[tired ice]

games like cyberpunk, elden ring, god of war, they have visuals that cant be rivaled yet they make the same amount of profit that hoyo makes in like 2 months

[tired ice]

course you do

you guys havent played other top aaa games which is why u settle for less

thats how most of the genshin community is, they've never played top tier games

there's a reason the genshin community is filled with weebs and just generally inexperienced gamers, cause people who have been playing games for a long time aren't willing to play genshin as it doesn't match the quality of other top aaa games which they would rather play instead of wasting their time on genshin

[broken sluice]

some newer AAA games are just short-lived to play. i can play new games but after 1 or 2 days i usually complete everything. then i dont have any game to play again. i only go back to genshin cause the story is continuously updated unlike the other games

[broken sluice]

as much i love genshin and i breathe genshin, the silhouette is a fucking fail

you will notice it being a fucking 2d shit when the camera view changes

[granite quest]

How you expect to be taken seriously when youre assuming shit like this

[granite quest]

Playing it ingame and not going inside the games data or whatever like you did achieves its goal

[tired ice]

the only one not to be taken seriously is you considering you're judging genshin even though you have 0 experience of playing other top tier games
