[lament galleon]

i said why dont u hav xiangling built

go build her

[dreamy crater]

i do wanna see the enemy lineup

[lament galleon]

u can judge an account just by looking at 3 characters: bennet, xingqiu, xiangling

[rose glacier]

yes sir

see

here

ok

[dreamy crater]

2eosf 2cw isnt bad

[rose glacier]

wait

im planning on building them

i swear

[fiery gyro]

My xinqiu is entirely unbuilt but my yelan is built

[silent depot]

Lol my three aren't the best but they are passable 😂

[rose glacier]

but i kept farming for shenhe so i didnt farm artifacts

[lament galleon]

ok i forgor yelan

ur right

[rose glacier]

my xinqiu is ass too but he suffices in abyss with hutao

[lament galleon]

i missed out on her so im forgetting about her to cope

[dreamy crater]

i wonder what the enemies for the other days will be

[rose glacier]

256 er xinqiu and bro still cant have his ult up

[silent depot]

My 52% crit rate boy is in pain lmfao

But whatever

[rose glacier]

i cant wait for pyro

to give my kaeya some use

[silent depot]

Wtf

Something wrong

[rose glacier]

idk man

[dreamy crater]

something very wrong

[rose glacier]

two skills at its

right at the edge

[silent depot]

[dreamy crater]

wtf

[rose glacier]

i think

hollup no i think im lying

[silent depot]

Bruh you have sac and 256 er and can't get his ult up

[lament galleon]

well i dont need to cope too hard about not having yelan bcos i am quite proud of my xingqiu

[dreamy crater]

oh yes pyro enemies

[rose glacier]

theres a very good chance im lying

[dreamy crater]

i shall mono hydro XD

[silent depot]

Ah pjc xq

[silent depot]

The dream 😔

[dreamy crater]

actl

[silent depot]

230 er damn son

On sac too wtf

[lament galleon]

2wanderr interesting

[rose glacier]

OH I LIED

NVM

HE CAN DEF GET HIS ULT UP

[dreamy crater]

i dont have another emblem set for xq

[lament galleon]

ic

[silent depot]

But shims

Or glads

Or nob

[lament galleon]

i been basically living in emblem domain since it came out xd
bcos most of my chars can use emblem

[dreamy crater]

my wanderer's have the best stats XD

[silent depot]

Mine is two hod two nob

Haven't changed him since before eosf lol

[dreamy crater]

oh wait those xq are outdated

[rose glacier]

[lament galleon]

[silent depot]

Omg I didn't notice jfc 245 er on sac

[rose glacier]

[rose glacier]

i shall

[silent depot]

And yelan

Brih

Bruh

[rose glacier]

im yelanless

wait for xinaling

[silent depot]

No I mean jh

[lament galleon]

xingqiu is just yelan

[rose glacier]

er/pyro/crit?

or

how do i build her

[silent depot]

JH uses funerational so why xq need 250 er man

[lament galleon]

depends on what weapon

[dreamy crater]

funerational is the second xq

not the first one

[rose glacier]

iv got the catch on her

[lament galleon]

epic so u probly dont need er sand then

just get substat

[silent depot]

Okay makes more sense lol

[rose glacier]

i just want 200+ er to make myself feel better

[lament galleon]

i like to hav around 200% er

yea

[dreamy crater]

i do wanna get elegy for yelan eventually

[silent depot]

I use an ATK sands on xq

With sac

[rose glacier]

oh atk sands

with xq

i have er rn

[lament galleon]

sac sword means atk sands

[dreamy crater]

oh dont worry, i do too
it's just...that's ayato's sands XD

[lament galleon]

god plz dont use er sand with sac sword on xq

[silent depot]

Er if no er weapon, atk if er weapon

[fiery gyro]

[rose glacier]

me with sac and er sands

im lowkey thriving

[silent depot]

Bruh

[dreamy crater]

i want that goblettt

[rose glacier]

ion man

256 er is making me content

[dreamy crater]

ignoring mr lowrolls mgee

[silent depot]

But this in salt I am SALTYYY

[fiery gyro]

I thought it was kinda shitty but ok

[dreamy crater]

that circlet is not salt inducing tho

[silent depot]

The def on the circ tho 👌👌👌

Tanklan

👌👌👌👌

Meta

Goals

Wish it was me

[rose glacier]

lmfao

[dreamy crater]

eventually i wanna give yelan the hp sands that tao has rn
and swap the goblet for a hydro one

[fiery gyro]

I mean tbf she needs it bc she has the lowest base def iirc 😏 /hj

[rose glacier]

how do u do a kaeya rotation

for uke

[silent depot]

All that field time, she needs the def to not die while kicking her bow 👌👌👌👌

[silent depot]

Get Homa

[dreamy crater]

i think elegy on yelan would work for funerational

[silent depot]

Give em sands

[dreamy crater]

that's the plan sir

[silent depot]

I am in crimson hell trying to get better shit 😔😔😔 the pain I go through for hu tao

[dreamy crater]

me with shim tao bursting every (other) rotation in funerational

[fiery gyro]

Same except for diluc

[silent depot]

(gunna start keeping track of how many ppl here think I'm a he/him)

[fiery gyro]

Weeks of farming and not one good piece

[silent depot]

My diluc gets my hu tao's scraps lmfao

[dreamy crater]

i didnt say that

[lament galleon]

my diluc gets nothing

i havnt looked at him in like a full year

[dreamy crater]

but also you dont have pronoun roles
so...

[opaque nacelle]

5 months for 51 / 118 on bennett got me burned out. my tao is on shime

[silent depot]

I looked at him cus skin lol

[silent depot]

The dedication for a DPS Benny wow

[silent depot]

Are there fucking pronoun roles here omg

[opaque nacelle]

well, it was in 1.x, I gave up on it a while ago and foddered all bitch pieses

[silent depot]

I actually don't care what pronouns I just find it funny

[dreamy crater]

i got servers confused XD

[fiery gyro]

If my Diluc had more crit he'd be a beast

He hits like 20k normal atk melts tho so its good for now ig

[silent depot]

I think ym scraps boy has 57/160 or something with wgs and 2.6 atk. He'd be okay if I enjoyed playing him more and built him a team

[dreamy crater]

jeez

scraps give you that much

[silent depot]

CW dropping that cdmg but not that cr

So hu tao can't use lmfao

[fiery gyro]

L get c6 hu tao /j

[opaque nacelle]

20k isn't even all that high compared to bennett.
and tenha I think managed a 100k vape on a normal

[silent depot]

DHSHFHDHDHSHF do I look like I have generational money's lmfao

[rose glacier]

NO I MESSED UP KAEYAS ROATIOTN SDLGKJ

78k is no thriving bro

[dreamy crater]

man i love getting that on ayaka e without trying

[silent depot]

Strong skills? I dunno her

[dreamy crater]

?

[silent depot]

Hitting 78k on a skill? I could never

I bs my way through this game

[rose glacier]

im trying ok

im trying so hard then i realized i swirled cyro instead of pyro

[silent depot]

You can do it! I believe!!!

[opaque nacelle]

with the 51 / 118 crit, my bennett managed to land a 212,000 crit melt Q

[silent depot]

Bruh

[opaque nacelle]

but the crit ratio was just too trash to be a dps in abyss

[tawny cypress]

its good enough for abyss 12

[rose glacier]

shooting myself

lksdafjakldgj

gross

[tawny cypress]

my diluc does like 25k e's no support (other than vap)

and i use him in abyss 12

[rose glacier]

asdkljsg

[silent depot]

Diluc is plenty usable in abyss. Like everyone else you just need to give him a team

I just find him less fun to play

[rose glacier]

if i knew how to dragonspike

then id bring him into abyss

[silent depot]

Whut

[rose glacier]

idk wat its called

smth dragon

[dreamy crater]

dragonstrike

[rose glacier]

where u can do this glitch and plunge

ohh

strike

[silent depot]

WHUT

[rose glacier]

mhm

[dreamy crater]

ye it's something to do with hitlag

[silent depot]

Oh that thing where you jump at the opponent at the right angle or something and you can plunge even on level ground?

[rose glacier]

yup

[silent depot]

Lol I have a

[dreamy crater]

me who doesnt use claymore chars:

useless

[silent depot]

[dreamy crater]

...

[silent depot]

I make bad jokes, deal with it 😤

[tawny cypress]

na thats a footstool

[dreamy crater]

lmaoo

[silent depot]

Either way I have a skill issue and will not be doing it lol

[tawny cypress]

there is a tech with hitstun where you can jump high enough to get a plunge attack
it basically only works with tall claymore characters, of which there are 2 (but itto would never really want to do it)

diluc also has a higher plunge atk scaling than xiao

and he can vap

so like, it ends up being a ~50% increase to his dps

[dreamy crater]

wow that's a lot

[silent depot]

Damn son

[tawny cypress]

it only took like an hour of practice for me to get it up to 90ish% consistency, which is way more than good enough to actually use in abyss

but like

you just dont need to

[dreamy crater]

i assume for pure single target?

[tawny cypress]

abyss isnt that hard

technically yeah but plunge is AoE

[dreamy crater]

hmm

[dreamy crater]

oh it uses dashing

[silent depot]

Ayo what dee fack

[tawny cypress]

n1 dj p

[dreamy crater]

interesting

[warped rune]

woah

[silent depot]

I guess it'd be like practicing jump cancels for hutao

[dreamy crater]

but more difficult

i assume

[silent depot]

[tawny cypress]

yeah dash cancels with hutao are low commitment

[dreamy crater]

indeed

[silent depot]

I am skill less

[tawny cypress]

if youre too late, its whatever

if you fail a dragonstrike you lose like, a full second

[silent depot]

Will not being attempting lol

[dreamy crater]

same

not that i main any claymore other than itto

[silent depot]

My diluc will just be stuck on overworld duty to look fancy in red lol

And probably only for this update lol

[tawny cypress]

i failed a dragonstrike in that clip so you can see how long it takes to recover

you end up kinda far away

at like 15s in the clip

[dreamy crater]

decently long

[silent depot]

Me, routinely failing jump cancels 🤡

And running back to my enemy

Didn't even notice the fail

Just a normal part of my life lol

[tawny cypress]

you might also notice, though
that the lawachurl keeps missing

when you jump like that, youre dodging most attacks in the game

[dreamy crater]

most

[tawny cypress]

mhm

def not all

however

you need some movement speed to do it consistently
in this clip i was using anemo resonance

another option is diona

she gives 10%

and a shield

[dreamy crater]

mhmm

[tawny cypress]

also props to the mods for adding an autodelete

lol

[dreamy crater]

ye fr

[silent depot]

Auto delete what

[tawny cypress]

couldnt read the message in time but it was some discord link

[hot fiber]

spam messages

[silent depot]

Oh auto delete spam

[tawny cypress]

probably a discord lookalike that promised free nitro

[hot fiber]

it was a nitro

[dreamy crater]

it was a nitro

[silent depot]

Damion just creeping on the convo lol

Nice 👌

[hot fiber]

nah I saw it

[silent depot]

I meant creeping on the convo so you could see the spam

I didn't even see the spam cus I blinked

[hot fiber]

spam spam spam spam

[warm plume]

damion doesn’t blink

[silent depot]

Time to blink out of existence

[hot fiber]

I blink all the time, it's one of my favorite spells.

[silent depot]

Omg someone who makes equally bad jokes as me

[hot fiber]

I'm sure I make much worse jokes... XD

[dreamy crater]

im surprised you never noticed before, jayci

[warm plume]

self awareness is quite attractive

[silent depot]

Jared, 19

I'm just gunna put that as my username okay

Can't fucking read

Dunno what I'm doing

Jayci, 19

[dreamy crater]

what does 19 stand for

[warm plume]

i feel like a lot of people won’t know

the reference

[silent depot]

Crying I'm so old

[warm plume]

I GET IT

[dreamy crater]

i dont

😭

[hot fiber]

you're not that old, and I don't get it.

[warm plume]

it’s a vine

[tawny cypress]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqCCBohjaqA

[dreamy crater]

i never used vine

[muted spade]

peoppe who dont know this meme are uncultured 🙄 /j

[silent depot]

Me neither but I was alive

[hot fiber]

I predate memes.

[warm plume]

i wasn’t even old enough to use vine i just know

[tawny cypress]

eh, similarly to tiktok, a lot of the more popular ones expanded beyond the platform

[muted spade]

Wasnt this on the important videos playlist too 😔

[hot fiber]

also what the fuck is vine?

[desert root]

Tiktok

[dreamy crater]

vine is like tiktok before tiktok

[tawny cypress]

tiktok but like, in the beforetimes

[desert root]

But older

[warm plume]

where were you the last 20 years damion i know you were alive

😭😭

[desert root]

Wait one more

[tawny cypress]

vine pre-dated musically rebranded to tiktok

[desert root]

And dead

[hot fiber]

well that might explain it, I hate tiktok too.

[silent depot]

In the middle ages, ppl used vine to make videos

[muted spade]

in 2016

😔

[tawny cypress]

vine was as cringe then as tiktok is now

if not even a bit more

[desert root]

Now people use YouTube shorts

[muted spade]

yt shorts ?!

[tawny cypress]

but as a content creation platform, it had some gems

[desert root]

Imagine getting force fed short videos from YouTube

[hot fiber]

I bring my own brand of cringe, I don't need to look for others.

[warm plume]

[desert root]

The FLOP

[muted spade]

Such

[desert root]

Thats actually true

[muted spade]

“two bros sitting ina. hot tub”

[desert root]

LMAO THAT

[muted spade]

“five feet apart cause theyre not gay”

[silent depot]

Anyway, unlike most of the yahoos on here I need sleep, goodnight children

[muted spade]

and the

“and they were roommates!” “oh my god they were roommates”

[desert root]

It's morning for me

[muted spade]

Its 11:47 pm😔

[hot fiber]

some of us still use yahoo.

[warm plume]

goodnight jayci 19 never learned how to fucken read

[dreamy crater]

Who? (Ref Damion's msg)

[opaque nacelle]

ngl, the historians always describing obviously-gay couples as that still is annoying af

[warm plume]

huh

[desert root]

Haven't been to yahoo since 2000s

[muted spade]

i love how falthis immediately goes to that LMAO

true tho

[opaque nacelle]

I mean that's how the meme started

[desert root]

When you're broke enough, being a roommate doesn't seem such a bad idea

[hot fiber]

I didn't want to change my e-mail address.

[muted spade]

“this was my best friend my soulmate my lover who i shared my bed with, i loved how she felt under me as i—“
historians: they were roommates

[warm plume]

english teachers: they had forbidden love

[desert root]

Oh

I think I missed the point jn lmao

LMAO

[opaque nacelle]

meanwhile, an open gay president and an even greater gay once met in their private house for hours, and historians are questioning what they talked about there lmfao

[desert root]

Similar to some Chinese historian, the emperor stayed a night with a scholar talking about poems and stars

[opaque nacelle]

being a historian means to throw away your common sense

[desert root]

Ffs stop

[tawny cypress]

https://tenor.com/bMn6n.gif

[warm plume]

wild animals

[muted spade]

historians havent been yassified yet thats why they keep making that mistake 🙄

[desert root]

https://c.tenor.com/4HAZFO_Jcr8AAAAM/yes-yay.gif

[hot fiber]

well I mean if you're a historian that means you need to be hysterically correct.

[desert root]

They omit details though

[dreamy crater]

is that a joke on historically?

[hot fiber]

maybe.

it can be quite amusing to replace instances of the word 'historical' with 'hysterical' however.

[warped rune]

does anybody know how to stun the abyss serpent?

like, consistently stun it

just hit the neck part with lights

[warped rune]

but how

i throw everything at it and it doesn't work

[desert root]

i think there's a damage threshold

it's not consistent for me too

prolly because i dont have a freaking range character to do that

[warped rune]

i throw zhongli's burst, his AOE pillar damage and sometimes it works

hes been pushed back

past 3.4

[fiery gyro]

Daddy cyno cum home

I can skip zhongli a 3rd time if i need to just give me cyno 😭

bro was my first five star n hes still not lvl 90 😟

C0-C2 enjoyer in 90 pulls

[muted spade]

ninety?!

cryin

i wish

[dreamy crater]

i'll gladly skip zhongli XD

[tawny cypress]

based

[tawny cypress]

hutao was originally leaked as a 4*

and theyve only shown 5* thus far, is she the ONLY exception?

methinks not

[rose glacier]

honestly i woupdnt mind dehya as a four star

[warped rune]

https://tenor.com/view/the-rock-the-rock-sus-the-rock-meme-tthe-rock-sus-meme-dwayne-johnson-gif-23805584

[rose glacier]

that just means shes easier to get

[tawny cypress]

it really doesnt though

[rose glacier]

easier than if she was a five star

[tawny cypress]

i disagree

[fiery gyro]

Techincally 5 stars are easier to get

[tawny cypress]

i mean for one, modern 4* unit basically means she'll be locked behind c6
and c6 takes, on average, as much as it takes to c2 a 5*

[rose glacier]

is this another L from u

[tawny cypress]

so 5* units are 3x easier to get to an acceptable level

not to mention that it is highly inconsistent

[rose glacier]

no one ever said c6

[tawny cypress]

where 5* pulls are reliable

[warped rune]

200 pulls and only 1 thoma

[rose glacier]

wait ur fr

ripp

[tawny cypress]

like you can be close to pity when the banner starts and get a 5* unit in like 5 summons

but for a 4*?

nope

you start from 0 every time

and its never promised

[rose glacier]

sad

[warped rune]

no complains though, i won't use thoma

[warped rune]

yep

[tawny cypress]

as a consequence of 5* pulls being more consistent, you can plan around them in a way that is impossible for 4*

[rose glacier]

oh my god

id cry

[fiery gyro]

Ur guaranteed the 5 star u want after 180 pulls max, but it could be hundreds of pulls before the 4* u want

Unlikely, but possible

[rose glacier]

actually wait i take back wat i said i forgot my luck in the last kazuha banner

[warped rune]

got ningguang to c6, and i won't use thoma, so it's a win for me

[rose glacier]

i did like 80 pulls and only 2 bennetts for c1

mb mb yea ur right

[tawny cypress]

plus 5* units can go even further beyond
like how c0 kazuha is comparable to c6 sucrose, but then kazuha is able to get freedom sworn or c2 to completely surpass what sucrose can do in almost every situation

almost

[sweet vine]

trying to do this pyro puzzle with xiangling was a mistake

[warped rune]

i love sucrose but Kazuha's elemental skill is so satisfying to use

[rose glacier]

care to get another c6 for a thoma

thomaless rn

[hot fiber]

huh, she was the key for me shrug

[warped rune]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

[rose glacier]

thats what im sayinggg

[sweet vine]

gobo just spits flames on the other one and ruins the order

[rose glacier]

literally since hutao banner iv been trying 😐

[warped rune]

can we get 15 likes?

[sweet vine]

or goba...whatever his name is

[tawny cypress]

i wanted 1 kuki

[rose glacier]

aaa ill be using that when he comes back on a banner

[warped rune]

*guoba

[tawny cypress]

literally just 1

[hot fiber]

you're talking about a puzzle, not the event thing I guess

[rose glacier]

amber

[sweet vine]

but I'd have to exit to redo my parttyyyyy ugh

[rose glacier]

its not hard

[hot fiber]

yeah it's amusing how for most puzzles, the meta characters are actually awful. XD

[rose glacier]

oh i forgot about yoi

[warped rune]

yoimiya's burst AOE is tiny though

[rose glacier]

i swear i love yoi

[tawny cypress]

2 sara btw

[hot fiber]

her homing arrows can kinda screw you on puzzles too though lol

[tawny cypress]

love hunting for 4* units

[rose glacier]

oh thats true

[rose glacier]

nice xiangling

[tawny cypress]

but yeah being a 4* is not good for obtainability

[rose glacier]

Why am I not surprised

We'll get black characters in natla- actually- nevermind.

[warped rune]

Of course they gonna release most character as white skin tone, cause that what apeal to those people

[ionic verge]

They do make character that have darker skin tone before sumeru

[warped rune]

what

[split monolith]

We've had... one.

[ionic verge]

And they not from nation with most dark skin tone

We have two, xinyan and kaeya

[dreamy crater]

nahida is based off a fairy iirc

[warped rune]

well, it's a fictional setting with fictional characters
everyone could have purple skin and still being valid...becuase it's all made up

[dreamy crater]

well there's still some semblance of realism

[ionic verge]

Is not always a matter of fictional, it always matter of how to appeal the majority

Which mean more money earn

[warped rune]

that's for sure, but in the end Liyue is still not the real China
Mondstadt is not the real Germany

[ionic verge]

I mean, everyone who fan genshin would upset if the game shut down

[split monolith]

People want representation.
You CAN deliberately write a story where black people more or less don't exist but that would be pretty damn sus if you ask me

[warped rune]

Well, make sure to write it on the survey

[ionic verge]

Sure, some people will dissapointed that they didn't get represented in the game

[split monolith]

Ppl have been complaining about this since launch, we're going to a stand in for africa in game now and its still not fixed. it's not getting fixed lol.

[warped rune]

what about cat people representation
or goat people representation

[granite harness]

Ayoooo

[warped rune]

Or antelope people (i am assuming that's what Yanfei is)

[ionic verge]

Tbh tho, if is not ur problem, maybe arguing with someone who can't do anything about it is not the best solution

But then again, we have lot of spare time

[split monolith]

This is a server about genshin. We're talking about an issue with genshin. This is as appropriate a setting as any.

[ionic verge]

True true

[split monolith]

I know yall can't change it, but getting more people talking about it will hopefully make a difference lol

[warped rune]

god people representation

[ionic verge]

Perhaps

But I don't think they will change the current sumeru characters leak

Since they just drop new trailer

With the character showing

[split monolith]

Which is why it's upsetting.
Because they've finalized designs of African* characters and made them white.

[warped rune]

They're not african

[ionic verge]

Yeah

[warped rune]

They're from Sumeru

[ionic verge]

Relatively

[warped rune]

What does someone from Sumeru look like?

[granite harness]

Man....
It's a game

[hybrid pier]

middle eastern*

li

lo

[granite harness]

Wdymn representation

[split monolith]

It's based on Egypt, which is Africa.
That's a dumb argument lol

[tawny cypress]

egypt isnt africa

[ionic verge]

Well they are

Sorta

[warped rune]

The region is called Sumeru, if i remember correctly

[tawny cypress]

theyre so dark skinned fr

[granite harness]

But that's even the point
Why the hell are you seeking "representation" in a game?

Like what?

[ionic verge]

Again, is not about is fictional or not, is about some people want representation on the fictional

[tawny cypress]

this is not the point to fight

representation is good

end of story

[granite harness]

Lol

[warped rune]

kitsune people representation

[ionic verge]

The problem never argue real or not, is about the miss representation

[split monolith]

Because people want their characters to be an extention of themselves. When youre black its kinda hard to get immersed when the entire roster is white

[warped rune]

Well, i feel connected to Zhongli, but i'm no god

[granite harness]

Then drop the game
The game never promised you "representation"
It promised you good maps, good content etc etc

[warped rune]

I feel connected to Ei, but i'm not a woman, neither a goddess

[tawny cypress]

of 7 characters, you can really only argue that that one of them is proper representation of the majority
however, light skinned egyptians (as white as genshin characters) absolutely do exist

its just a problem of the ratio

[split monolith]

We get it, you missed the point, no need to repeat the same bad take over and over

[warped rune]

Glad you understood

[tawny cypress]

would tigh or al haitham really be less desireable if they were kaeya toned

[warped rune]

Still, i love Ei

[tawny cypress]

i think the answer is absolutely no

[granite harness]

Man, I am indian
Parts of sumeru are inspired from India too
No one here is crying about "representation" coz its a game

It's A GAME

It doesn't not matter that much

There are better things to worry and fight about

[warm holly]

gets some popcorn

[granite harness]

Indeed

That's my final take on it too

[split monolith]

A game for people, and those people want representation lol.
The game prides itself on the wide variety of characters, backgrounds, personalities, etc. It's kinda missing the ball by making its entire roster white or light-skinned.

[ionic verge]

Racist are real problem if u live with people with many skin tone, which people live in America are

[granite harness]

Imagine wanting validation from a game lmao, couldn't be me

[warped rune]

^

[ionic verge]

Of course racist are less problem if your country still underdeveloped or less migrant come inside ur country

[warped rune]

Xinyan though

[tawny cypress]

i think it would be really easy to make the point that, as the largest gacha in the world (by a large margin), they have a responsibility to set an example
they ABSOLUTELY DO NOT set a good example
they cut corners, relentlessly reuse assets, and design characters which serve to help in the erasure of people

[warped rune]

🛐

[split monolith]

Don't care? Good for you. Loads of other people do.

[remote compass]

[ionic verge]

But not the majority of people who play genshin

[tawny cypress]

Aaahrg whats happening to me

🧍‍♂️ 🧎‍♂️ 🐴

[ionic verge]

Majority genshin are, again china

[warped rune]

Juan

🐎

[granite harness]

Ikr
Genshin has other bigger issues that they need to fix rather than "representation"

[tawny cypress]

to argue "the majority dont care therefore it doesnt matter" has and will forever remain a DOGSHIT point to make

literally like, worse than saying nothing

[warm holly]

hoyo doesn't seem to care anyway about player feedback and this debate doesn't change anything 🤷‍♀️

[granite harness]

I mean yeah, I probably don't
I have better stuff than ask a Chinese game to "represent" me

[warped rune]

That's why i said, write it on the survey

[split monolith]

We have been. For almost 2 years lmao.

[tawny cypress]

im a firm believer that the surverys go right into the dirt after the first 3 questions, at least outside of china

[ionic verge]

Truly, this is how arguing work

[warm holly]

they do this with the surveys anyway https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/443217482883399680/977074389331873853/image0.gif

[warped rune]

hope my survey gets picked one day, and it's just a giant copypasta

[tawny cypress]

they collect your age, gender, and platform for statistics / demographic purposes and just ignore the rest

fr

[granite harness]

If there are things I would want to change in genshin
I would change there stingy behavior
Get them to more body models and shit like that

[tawny cypress]

and they find out that their huge majority of players are 20yo males

[granite harness]

Rather than, "representation"

[split monolith]

Adding more body models would be a form of representation ya dingus.

[tawny cypress]

[warped rune]

thicc ei when

[granite harness]

I am adding not for the sake of "representation" but more character designs

[warped rune]

😩 💦

[granite harness]

Something like the rooster for example

Or pierrio

[split monolith]

And I want black characters for the sake of more character designs.
Your argument is sinking, abandon ship

[warped rune]

There is Xinyan

👈

[tawny cypress]

2% of the character roster

[warped rune]

and she's hot

[tawny cypress]

[granite harness]

.....
Cmon get a grip
You want black characters because they are black characters

Anyway

It's none of my concerns

[split monolith]

You've said you dont care like 5 times and you're still here arguing lol

[granite harness]

You keep pinging me

So

[split monolith]

You have the power to ignore pings, yet you don't.

[remote compass]

[tawny cypress]

bad take

[warped rune]

damn dude, how hostile

[remote compass]

[split monolith]

Just turn off notifications my guy.
Or block me.
Do something idk

[warm holly]

[tawny cypress]

again, bad take

[granite harness]

People do turn hostile , I mean he probably has twt account and post this shit daily

[tawny cypress]

blocking people is L mentality

[warped rune]

hard to take your opinion seriously with that hostility

[warped rune]

Cat xinyan 🛐

[tawny cypress]

not animal ears

[warped rune]

xinyan 2

[hybrid pier]

dori looks fire ong

[granite harness]

I like "black character designs"
Fuck I use kaeya till I was like AR54
But making black characters for the sake of making black characters so you can add "representation" is kinda bs to me

[warped rune]

🛐

[granite harness]

Indeed
I have this saved on my phone lol

[warped rune]

she looks like she's high on dendro

[tawny cypress]

because she is

shes got a pipe

[granite harness]

Btw you guys saw the new trailer that dropped?

[tawny cypress]

you just know

[split monolith]

That conversation ended, you just brought it back up.
Do you care or not, make up your mind lol

[granite harness]

The kusanali one

[warped rune]

Klee 2

[granite harness]

Klee but green

[granite harness]

Wait what....

Isn't she a bit shiny?

[tawny cypress]

[tawny cypress]

Sumeru is the land of wisdom

Maybe I get some grass for touch too

I like how they called nahida "a mysterious girl"

[hybrid pier]

[ionic verge]

e

[granite harness]

[opaque nacelle]

As mysterious as zhongli

[granite harness]

Why did you ruin it.....

I hate you...

jk, but part of it is true

[opaque nacelle]

Iirc before you finish the archon quest, his constellation is just ???

[granite harness]

I don't remember

It was so long ago

[opaque nacelle]

Nah, it's in the wiki

[granite harness]

Well, now we wait for 24th

I think they are releasing only two quests as of 3.0

[iron crow]

hi guys

we signorw simps up in here!!

i love the sumeru trailer

wish there was more skin tone diversity though but maybe we’ll get more when we get more desert region characters as opposed to the forest region ones

regardless im rolling for tig and cyno

well fuck, looks like the convo was already brought up litterally an hour before i joined 😭

[warm holly]

yep

[granite harness]

How many days till the live stream?

[iron crow]

i feel dumb now bahahaha

[warm holly]

like 2 weeks prob since usually its a week before the update

[fluid atlas]

2.5 weeks something

Idk

[tawny cypress]

3w

or 2.5

roughly then

[covert cradle]

Hope they'll keep the stream on a Saturday and not return to Friday streams

[warm holly]

it depends on holidays, they did a few streams on Sunday

[granite harness]

Kiri kun sup?

[fluid atlas]

I'm well
What about you?

Wait. Sup is supposed to be like wyd🤔

As usual, betha hu😂

[granite harness]

Same

[covert cradle]

Honestly this new diluc event is the most boring combat based event ever

[granite harness]

He looks seaxxyy though

[covert cradle]

Tacky edgelord outfit🙈

I prefer his default

[granite harness]

Nah xiao excels at being edgelord

[covert cradle]

Solution, give Xiao dilucs new outfit

[granite harness]

Is sumeru already available for you?

Such wisdom can only be found there

[warm holly]

same

its like they spent 95% of the budget on the hair and said F the rest of the outfit

[covert cradle]

I had hoped we'd get a bit more background info about the new skin and dilucs past, the delusion that was originally his father's, but so far the event just feels lazy, we haven't even had a single new voiceline from diluc

Meanwhile xinyan, with her own island and a huge custom domain on GAA, how the tables have turned

[warm holly]

even GAA had horrible writing

design team made it better

[ionic verge]

So, canonically, kazuha and beidou found fillet blade inside liyue treasure chest, and he use it as his main blade

So, where the hell do he get freedom sworn at fischl domain trial

[brittle river]

ask kazuha

[ionic verge]

I assume he got it by the gods

Like literal gacha pulling

Using primogems

[covert cradle]

It's just an illusion caused by the fatui machine malfunctioning, like everything else on the GAA this time

[fiery gyro]

STOP SHE BETTER NOT BE 3.5

[ionic verge]

I suppose so

[ionic verge]

Claymore pyro? Zamn, diluc contender

[warm holly]

like Eula and Itto aren't Diluc contenders lol

[ionic verge]

Every dps is his contender

Specially hu tao

But she use polearm

Btw their all bad but ayakas the best hitting the highest of 39k as my only crowned in ar 56 yay

[tawny cypress]

you get banned if you dont reach at least 0 primo within like, a week

[covert cradle]

That could be a strategy for rerolling though if you wanna whale from the very beginning🙈

Just charge back the topups on your credit card and let the rerolled accounts get banned till you get a C6 in under 200 pulls and keep that one

[dreamy crater]

Sucrose would be better than heizou

[burnt hearth]

[fluid atlas]

I wish I could give you my Ninnguangs ;-;

[broken token]
