Why is prefarming so hard lol

Also can the ocean hued clam be strongboxed for

(I'm prefarming for kokomi)

[amber valve]

Not yet

[atomic oasis]

FK

😭

Well if I cant get Kazuha I can save up for Koko

WIll be harder to farm for but is definitely worth it b/c I've been wanting her since her release

I kinda wish mihoyo made it easier to get the build for our characters

[amber valve]

HP% main stats drop quite often so for Kokomi it is easier.

Her bis is 2 F2P weapons too

either TTDS or Amber

[calm pagoda]

cut to tatra complaining about not getting HP goblet for koko

[neat kindle]

i use a hydro gob on kokomi

hp/hydro/hb

[amber valve]

Tatra is just unlucky

[atomic oasis]

Bruh the most annoying stats to try to get is crit or EM

😭

def is super easy

its always on the wrong set tho 🤣

[vagrant hamlet]

Getting it is not hard, it's just the right distribution when leveling it up

[atomic oasis]

Yes

🤣

[hazy badge]

Fucking news to me.

[amber valve]

[hazy badge]

Not like I just got bent over on two four-line starts in the CW domain the last two days or something.

[brazen marsh]

[trim bluff]

what the heck.

[calm pagoda]

I have one with the same cd, just lacking cr

[fast pike]

Reminds me of mine

[trim bluff]

imagine all that just to use her as an EM bot

[fast pike]

1,5 years living in emblem Domain

But then again fortunately Raiden isn't the only one who can make use of emblem set

Probably my best on set goblet

[dense mist]

fake

[tribal breach]

damn i wanted 30cdmg

not bad

not the highest CV but pretty good stats overall

[trim bluff]

very pog

[tribal breach]

i need to get Yelan an on-set circlet and this is an easy upgrade for her

this circlet shouldnt be too hard to replace, id even accept just double cr rolls tbh

i changed my mind i want to stay above 60cr

it must triple cr

[vagrant hamlet]

It's a 4-liner, the er took most of the rolls being 4.5 er

[tribal breach]

i dont wanna do this abyss again bruh

[calm pagoda]

everyone's thoughts fr

[tribal breach]

i have to work floor 12 backwards because 12-3 is so fucking awful

[calm pagoda]

my problem is with 12-1

2 and 3 are a joke

[tribal breach]

need to have the perfect setup going into 12-3 and get perfect rotations for the full 3 minutes, then i have to go back into abyss with a different team to clear 12-1 and 12-2

what teams are you using for 12-3?

[calm pagoda]

https://youtu.be/CGKjc7QIavs

[tribal breach]

yeah i dont have freeze teams

[calm pagoda]

https://youtu.be/-VLxnNTl4iA
another one I did

I've only done this abyss 3 times (once per reset) because it's so unfun and strict team-wise

[tribal breach]

your Ayaka does literally double my Ayaka damage lmao

[calm pagoda]

lol

and that's not even w shenhe

https://youtu.be/ei0S4TtMG-E

[tribal breach]

yeah for the freeze teams i literally only have Ayaka

no Ganyu, no Shenhe, no Kokomi

[calm pagoda]

so yea, that's my 3 successful runs of this abyss cycle

[tribal breach]

i wish there was a skip 9 and 10 option

[calm pagoda]

yea they're just a necessary chore to get to the higher floors atp

oh Ganyu is doing respectable dmg XD

[calm pagoda]

well Ayaka isn't your main, is she?

[tribal breach]

no

i also dont have MSR 😦

[calm pagoda]

oh yea someone was complaining that they didn't get msr

that was funny

[trim bluff]

think he got unforged instead

[calm pagoda]

two of them

[tribal breach]

🥲

[calm pagoda]

take my pjws

[trim bluff]

oof

[tribal breach]

ill get Shenhe next time shes around i guess

[calm pagoda]

it's lvl1 and sitting in my inventory

[tribal breach]

or maybe Wriothesley can use it (PLEASE MIHOYO PLEASE)

[calm pagoda]

hmm I would love a use for my pjws

since I decided against Cyno a little bit before his release

[tribal breach]

whyd you decide against him?

[calm pagoda]

I don't rmb actl

I only know that I did since...I don't have him

[tribal breach]

ah

i wanted Cyno since the teaser trailer at game launch and when he was being leaked his kit was pretty cool so i got him when he released

[calm pagoda]

oh I think I know why

I went for Venti and Elegy

[tribal breach]

ah

that was a good weapon banner

[calm pagoda]

I didn't get the paddle

:P

[tribal breach]

i did 🙂

[calm pagoda]

(thank you Luka)

[tribal breach]

not until after i got my fourth WGS though

[calm pagoda]

still don't have one wgs

[tribal breach]

lucky you

[calm pagoda]

indeed

[tribal breach]

it was literally my first pull on the banner

[calm pagoda]

eh not much of a loss then?

[tribal breach]

i went to 80 pity for Cyno but won 50/50 and was like "well shit i can pull for a weapon too i got leftovers" so i do a 10 pull and it very unexpectedly turned gold (i was at like 30 pity) and the very first weapon in the pull was WGS

but because it was literally my first pull i had enough to pity another 5 star and since both weapons were very good i just went for it

got SSS

[calm pagoda]

good for you (cuz Cyno) then

paddle for me would probably have accompanied the pjws

[tribal breach]

Sumeru weapons treated me well

[calm pagoda]

xiphos is at R1...can't use it in ayaka freeze

[tribal breach]

i got Alhaitham at 10 pity so i just sent the weapon banner and got lofi which was pretty cool

[calm pagoda]

nice

I don't really care for haitham personally

[tribal breach]

i wanted a dedicated dendro dps

[calm pagoda]

I understand he's a good dps tho

[tribal breach]

Nahida is nice and all but i dont have her C2 or sig weapon

[calm pagoda]

her sig kinda meh anyway

[tribal breach]

big EM gain though which leaves more room for crit stats in artifacts

[calm pagoda]

or so I've heard

[tribal breach]

my Nahida is using an R1 Wandering Evenstar that i got when trying to get Xiphos

(i did not get Xiphos)

[calm pagoda]

mine is using sac, fav or amber depending on the situation

not really intending to get her much better

[tribal breach]

woah woah woah

was there some sudden massive influx of top Itto builds? what happened to my top 50?

[trim bluff]

yeah it's rlly competitive, u have to perpetually improve your builds or u get left behind

top 1 especially, you'd be lucky to stay there for a day or two

[tribal breach]

theres no way i went from 50 to 254

[neat kindle]

[trim bluff]

you're competing w mega whales who do max refreshes every day

[neat kindle]

i mean if u are going for rankings good luck i guess

[tribal breach]

it would mean that out the roughly 1000 added builds in the past few days 200 of them were both in the same category that im in and also all better than mine

[plucky beacon]

This is why I don't compete lol it's a losing battle and I value my sanity

[trim bluff]

i was number 94 a month or two ago

[tribal breach]

fuck 12-1

[trim bluff]

quite a copium build but the optimiser doesn't lie

add 44 cr to my 32 and pretend it's hunter's path

[neat kindle]

i mean fundamentally i try to look at it from the point of a single player game

[harsh swift]

can be as pepega as long as clear f12

[tribal breach]

alright the 12-3 suffering begins now

everyone is full hp and all have bursts

now to reset three hundred times until the fucking beasts dont stagger lock me for three seconds and i can actually get my combos off

i love literally not knowing where damage comes from like im at full hp and suddenly im literally dead from absolutely nowhere

i just like dont get it

where is the damage coming from like they look like theyre gracefully jumping AWAY from me and suddenly i take 15 thousand damage??

i love when they still hit me during my dashing i frames!!!

[tribal breach]

something weird was going on

[tribal breach]

check again

[trim bluff]

WHAT

116??

[tribal breach]

yeah something was going on with the website i think

not technically top 50 anymore but still top 0.1%!

totally fair and completely preventable situation

[true crater]

yea going to walls is not a good idea unless u r prepared to tank that xd

[trim bluff]

reminds me of that itto clip

[true crater]

oh yea lmao

[tribal breach]

the dendro one is my big problem because it does so much damage but it moves so much that i cant fucking kill it without getting bitch slapped around the entire time

and then i get cross mapped by the fucking hydro one and staggered out of my combo and now i have to reset because Alhaitham didnt get his stacks

[true crater]

do u hav barbara built xd

if survivability is issue id say honestly try slotting barbara into haitham's place

i run that same team with barbara insted of alhaitham

and i just let her get smacked around

[tribal breach]

i dont have barbara built nor do i wanna go through 12-1 and 12-2 again

[true crater]

she can tank it, and it doesnt really decrease the amount of hyperblooms i make as long as they're in range of E

[vagrant hamlet]

Just use yelan to tank?

[true crater]

yea yelan can also tank a lot

[tribal breach]

then im not getting damage in

[true crater]

but kuki as sole healer is not enough without dodging a lot

[tribal breach]

Alhaitham is like half of my damage

[vagrant hamlet]

As long as you can clear the baptist fast enough, screwing up 1 or 2 rotations are fine imo

[tribal breach]

i cant

it takes at least 90 seconds for me to clear baptist

[vagrant hamlet]

Oh F

[tribal breach]

and i fucked up and brought Cyno with no ER

i forgot to switch his feather so he has 115 instead of 140

[neat kindle]

i find 12-2 and 12-3 better than 12-1

particularly 12-1-2

permafrost is cancer

[tribal breach]

12-1-2 is so fucking awful but just bennett xiangling

[trim bluff]

i find that using the other beast to shield u from the dendro one helps

like, it physically blocks the dendro one for u

cuz ofc they can't go thru one another

[tribal breach]

until it dives underground and smacks you halfway across the abyss

[trim bluff]

its not foolproof but it somewhat makes it more bearable

[vagrant hamlet]

This is what I did lol

Like I specifically target the hydro one so my haitham didn't get hit a lot

[tribal breach]

ok it kind of worked until the dendro one did a full frontflip over it

i dont even know what hit me this run i just died

[true crater]

yep
rational just unga bungas thru everything as usual

[hazy badge]

My surveys this patch have been dedicated to venting my pure hatred of 12-1-2 this Abyss. It is such garbage.

[tribal breach]

i fucking hate this game

would have beat it if i had more ER on cyno!!!

[slow summit]

@tribal breach has leveled up to LEVEL 29

[hazy badge]

Aren't elemental shields a fun and interactive mechanic that diversifies team comps.

[vagrant hamlet]

[tribal breach]

yeah i sure love being FORCED to play three specific elements

[hazy badge]

I saw people on Reddit genuinely saying this Abyss was good.

Like unironically.

[tribal breach]

as a player since 1.0 this is by far the worst and most unfun abyss they have ever released

[rich sleet]

you guys logged in during 3.7?

[tribal breach]

unfortunately

[true crater]

i mean it was fun at first when i had to figur out which teams worked best
but then it got old really fast

[vagrant hamlet]

earlier duo hydro lector is the most depressing abyss imo

[hazy badge]

It was never fun.

Ever.

[true crater]

thats just cos u refuse to change team

sounds like u problem

[hazy badge]

I changed teams like 20 times.

[true crater]

i guess they wernt the right ones

[tribal breach]

at least you didnt get perma-frozen and sent fucking flying by seventeen ice attacks per second

[vagrant hamlet]

You're locked to just freeze team at that time

[hazy badge]

The content just genuinely sucks whale dicks.

[rich sleet]

I prefer HSR combat more currently. can't even be bothered to log into genshin for dailies or bp anymore
maybe 3.8 and 4.0 get me excited again

[tribal breach]

abyss went from a dps check to a "did you pull this specific character that perfectly handles this one niche" check

[true crater]

12-1-2 is easy with xiangling or sunfire

u jus need enough pyro

the faster u can destroy the cryo ones the more time u hav to deal with the hydro

the hydro is worse tho imo

[tribal breach]

i think this is the first abyss since Itto's launch that i havent been able to clear with mono geo

[vagrant hamlet]

That's the only bad aspect imo, I don't really experienced much of it since I build my dedicated healer to overheal and I used shield most of the time

[hazy badge]

its just that ez guys

[true crater]

if u dont dodge perfectly u get like 20s cd on everyone and cant get energy back

[hazy badge]

just do the thing

[true crater]

hydro herald is annoying

[tribal breach]

HAHA XIANGLING HAHA BENNETT I LOVE JENSHIN IMPACT

[true crater]

sunfire shreds thru them

or if u can pyro infuse venti that does it too

hard tho

[hazy badge]

I ran Xiangling and Bennet. I did better with Hu Tao, Yelan, Nahida, Zhongli and came within seconds of clearing.

[tribal breach]

but what if i dont want to play sunfire? what if i dont have Jean built? why do they design content that forces you to play a specific team when they have so many unique characters and interactions?

[hazy badge]

Xingqiu fucking freezes himself like a dumbass.

[true crater]

ye hutao has enough pyro too

but stamina hard to manage

[hazy badge]

C1

[true crater]

nah its the cryo ones

they eat ur stamina

[hazy badge]

I'm saying stamina isn't as much of an issue since I have C1. lol

[vagrant hamlet]

Can't you kinda iframe it?

Or it can still pass through?

[hazy badge]

I don't know. I think I just blocked out the whole experience in my brain after doing it 90 times and the closest I came to clearing was one second.

One fucking second.

[vagrant hamlet]

I just do 12-1 first then redo them with my usual team

And god my usual team takes like 3 whole mins just to clear

[hazy badge]

I have both Rosaria and Kazuha in the first half since I run freeze, so can't do that. I tried Rational in the second half, but that sucked.

[true crater]

u can but they attack so frickng fast

if they dont line up their attacks to be together then it becomes impossible to dodge everything without just running to other side of room

[tribal breach]

i cant fucking take this im trying a different team

[true crater]

i wil use same team

hyperbloomge and rational unga bunga

[trim bluff]

i use that hyperbloom team except raiden instead of kuki

then like tao kaz xl bennett on second half

oh wait it's a different abyss right

me dum

[true crater]

same

abyss didnt change

the reset is still same abyss righ?

next reset will change bcos 3.8

[tribal breach]

fuck this shit

[tribal breach]

this team works very well

[trim bluff]

tao carrying as always

it works, except i neither have al nor yae

[true crater]

yea that first side team is one of the best teams in the game rn

[tribal breach]

thats my first time using Yae in floor 12 actually

despite having C1 and a pretty solid build

i dont have Gilded though so her damage is definitely not as high as it could be

[fast pike]

Perfect Substats don't exist

[tribal breach]

not 6.5 ER its trash

[fast pike]

Pretty nice, but still missed 100EM

[tribal breach]

12-2 is a joke compared to the rest of this abyss

[true crater]

yea 12-2 is like regular old abyss

[vagrant hamlet]

glad it could help

[tribal breach]

should i just go farm gilded for Yae

i dont know what to farm anymore

[true crater]

dw and gd r good sets

its a very efficient domain to run

[tribal breach]

optimizer gave me this which is pretty good

[true crater]

on par with esf

is yae bis 4gd?

or is it not much different from 2/2

[tribal breach]

in dendro teams it is a little bit better

[true crater]

hm id consider not using midsith tho

[tribal breach]

i dont have many other options

lost prayer passive is actually unusable on Yae

[true crater]

yea

but i think it is probably better just as stat stick

considering midsith has a 9% uptime

and yae doesnt snapshot

[tribal breach]

in that case i suppose i will be farming GD

Optimizer is telling me to run a 3 rainbow for her best set with no restrictions and i hate not having complete sets

wait hang on im stupid

[true crater]

did u turn on gd buffs

[tribal breach]

nope thats what i was fixing

i also didnt allow it to use artifacts from other characters

but now its telling me to steal from Alhaitham so im gonna have to make a custom list

i dont have enough Gilded for it to even give me a full set lmao

do i care about ER right now? using the calc it told me i needed 150 which is pretty high and i dont mind bursting every other rotation

optimizer moment

[hazy badge]

Just a casual 98% CR with a CD circlet.

[tribal breach]

happens, yknow?

[true crater]

well thats crit ascension and crit weapon

[tribal breach]

yeah its the same thing with my Itto

[true crater]

lol

[tribal breach]

crit ascension + crit weapon = all the cr

enka takes too long to update, theres also this for the ER req

[ember oasis]

more like lost prayers moment

[true crater]

lost prayers passiv might as well not exist tho

[fast pike]

My GD yae is pretty solid, though I wasn't even looking for GD

[tribal breach]

thats literally my Yae but on GD and with one more ER roll

well time to farm GD i guess

sorry Husk domain

ill come back when i have kokomi

[hazy badge]

ToM Kokomi best Kokomi.

[tribal breach]

ToM requires doing a domain that is even more dead to me than Husk

[ember oasis]

it's less about the passive and more about the substat

[hazy badge]

We all make sacrifices, Hunter.

[tribal breach]

youre right, i should sacrifice something for this circlet

ive had this for a while thinking maybe there will be a healer that could use it but tbh i think im done holding onto it

[hazy badge]

I'm literally farming CW, probably one of the least resin efficient domains ever to farm. lmao

[plucky beacon]

.......

[hazy badge]

I want to finish Hu Tao.

[tribal breach]

worth it

[plucky beacon]

I thought she was finished?!

[tribal breach]

rip def roll

[ember oasis]

damn

[hazy badge]

I want an EM sands and a better goblet.

[tribal breach]

i dont really know what to do with that circlet tbh

[plucky beacon]

I have an em sands but not enough HP subs elsewhere rip

[ember oasis]

dps nahida or off piece

the sands pain

[hazy badge]

EM sands are impossible to find.

[tribal breach]

Hu Tao diff 💪

[ember oasis]

i have a good off piece sands but optimizer doesb't like it

[tribal breach]

why does my Hu Tao circlet never load when i download the card

[ember oasis]

man

[tribal breach]

what a beautiful artifact why must Akasha deny its existence

[hazy badge]

If this had rolled just once into CD, it would have been an upgrade and I could use one of my 40 pyro goblets.

But no. RNG had to fuck me.

[tribal breach]

flat atk moment hehehahaha

ok lets see what optimizer thinks of my Nahida

[hazy badge]

I have had the worst luck with CW CR circlets.

Like what is CD. Never heard of it.

[tribal breach]

my current build is the second strongest my Nahida can have, with the first strongest being exactly the same but with my Cyno sands

(when keeping 4p DW)

[plucky beacon]

At least you can get cr hats with cd sub

[tribal breach]

who else uses crit on deepwood

should i start building tienahrie

[true crater]

most other chars?

i mean

dw is either on nahida

or on a dendro support

[tribal breach]

well im pretty sure that Yaoyao doesnt really do damage so its not going on her

[true crater]

and that dendro support 90% of the time has fav as the best weapon

[tribal breach]

and Collei is, uh, Collei

[true crater]

and fav needs crit

[tribal breach]

but but but 25cdmg is a lot of substat to waste just bc someone needs a cr mainstat

[true crater]

i jus saying they can us eit

and hat is a good piece to off set anyway

[tribal breach]

i dont have an EM sands 😦

[fast pike]

His burst cost is 40 energy, er sands is the worst choice

[tribal breach]

OH wait i have an atk sands i didnt know about

i was gonna say the other option is hp but my Xinyan had an atk DW sands

who needs EM? pffft a dendro unit with EM? so silly

[plucky beacon]

Not a single drop of em

[fast pike]

Also lots of investment into talents

[tribal breach]

he got scraps when he was on the friendship team

[trim bluff]

def: let me introduce myself

hp: go ahead then pal

[amber valve]

I wouldn't use ER sands on Yae.

[trim bluff]

i would

if i had her

just for the memes

[amber valve]

She is alright

[hazy badge]

???

[plucky beacon]

Why'd you level it

[hazy badge]

Frustration.

[fast pike]

Incredible

[trim bluff]

high rolls, very nice

[ember oasis]

seeign that DEF hurt me in the kidney

knowing that i'll be farming crimson witch like that once my wanderer and nahida are built

[tribal breach]

how tf you manage 30k hp with over 400 em???

JENSHIN IMPACT :):):)

[calm pagoda]

double hydro :P

[calm pagoda]

nice

[kindred elbow]

could be a raiden off piece depending on ur weapon

[vagrant hamlet]

Yea, I couldn't top this one with my non existent sr sand

[calm pagoda]

I saw top SR build
man that's fkin cracked

[vagrant hamlet]

Yea

I wilonder how do they farm that domain

[amber valve]

alot

or resin refreshes

[calm pagoda]

yes.

[amber valve]

27-36 artifacts per day

if max refill

that's alot

I know when I was doing bliz domain with max refill for 4 months I was maxing out my artifact inventory even though I was leveling and strongboxing

[vagrant hamlet]

Buying fragiles

Dang 4 months of max refill

Max I do for a day is 3 refreshes

And that's just out of curiosity

I usually just do once and stop

[amber valve]

it cost 800 primios

and you do the math it is 100 usd/10 days

[vagrant hamlet]

So 150x2 and 200 as last?

[amber valve]

yeah

The first refill is worth it if welkin/LS but after that it's not worth

[vagrant hamlet]

Yea, I mean I do it back in early days when I just got to ar 45 in the cursed CW domain

[amber valve]

i mean maybe for abyss?

[calm pagoda]

abyss shenanigans

[neat kindle]

i'll p rob do abyss once bp resets

[harsh swift]

[amber valve]

I mean I'm fine waiting 1 week to get the event bonus

[green cloak]

Guyssssss hellpppppppppp meeeeeeee it's emergency for me

[calm pagoda]

wtf

[green cloak]

Yeahhh

Wtf is this

No item in anything

[calm pagoda]

first, is it internet lag or sth

[green cloak]

Wait a min i try to restart my mobile cuz I don't see any interest problem maybe i need to restart my mobile

I am so happy

[amber valve]

Worked?

[fast pike]

Completely Broke 0 everything

Fun challenge, no CC in first half and no pyro second half

[amber valve]

I used venti first half worked well

But next abyss will be a joke

Everyone will be clearing with nilou bloom ect

[vagrant hamlet]

||3|| wave 💀

[amber valve]

Yeah 12-1-2 will be something

[amber valve]

How did you deal with the electro boss?

[green cloak]

Yep yep yep I am so happy

[green cloak]

Don't laugh or I will break your teeth kiss this thing almost give me mini heart attack

It's all back 👀👍

[calm pagoda]

nahida dps clearly

[fast pike]

Nahida alone killed it

[amber valve]

Nice

[fast pike]

https://youtu.be/SN9TvLYnnqs

Pretty close chamber 1 without cc or pyro though

[calm pagoda]

hmm slightly slower than ayaka hyperfridge

[amber valve]

You would have 2 minutes to kill the boss with nahida possible ig

[calm pagoda]

except that you managed to clear 12-1-2 and I didn't

[calm pagoda]

indeed

[green cloak]

U guys can clear 12

[fast pike]

Didn't even use pyro

[calm pagoda]

don't rub it in

[amber valve]

I used double electro/dendro 2nd half hehe

Keqing hard carried

[calm pagoda]

I don't have keqing okay

[amber valve]

[calm pagoda]

my closest keqing impression is TF kazu

[amber valve]

But dendro fixed her so worth using right now

[green cloak]

And here me who can't do anything in 12 with everything

[calm pagoda]

IF I HAD HER

[amber valve]

:[

[calm pagoda]

too lucky, clearly

[fast pike]

Just build your chars, there are plenty of teams that can do floor 12 9 stars, I literally got 3 EM cards doing my mono geo Team

[amber valve]

I get max hp and normal atk

But I don't need cards to win wish you could ignore them

[calm pagoda]

two whales talking

[amber valve]

Two whales walk into a bar

[calm pagoda]

having a whale of a time

[amber valve]

Hahaha

[calm pagoda]

maybe

[plucky beacon]

I miss when the cards didn't help at all 😭

[tribal breach]

It's been a long time since I saw someone use Ningguang

[fast pike]

OG Triple crown

[tribal breach]

Me too 🙂

[neat kindle]

ng just kinda mid

her burst always misses at least 2 shards because they go into the ground

[harsh swift]

[tribal breach]

Just be better

Duh

Albedo flower

[neat kindle]

bedo

🚮

[fast pike]

My albedo isn't even on husk set yet, noblesse oblige

But still good enough for abyss

[simple dawn]

true

tho can't be said if u didn't have his actual signature sword

[ember oasis]

damn

i keep forgetting to build my ningguang

c6 and left collecting dust

[tribal breach]

I mean geo isn't really worth it

It's just orange physical at this point

[ember oasis]

she carried me during mid game so i like her a bit and i regretfully got her talents to 6/6/6

[neat kindle]

anything that requires anim cancelling on every hit is just clunky af

a la klee

[tribal breach]

Ningguangs animation cancelling is literally just holding W

[trim bluff]

mobile users: why didn't i see it all along

[atomic oasis]

Im tired of grinding

🤣

atp Im okay with not following the meta anymore

[ember oasis]

funny how a game can have such a dreadful system

[trim bluff]

here I thought humanity made games to have fun

[neat kindle]

ng's anim cancelling isn't that straightforward because her CAs have 2 anims

1 is longer than the other

so u can cancel too early

[harsh swift]

[tribal breach]

This was the first and hopefully only abyss where I was forced into playing meta

Since the start of this game ive always just played what was fun

No meta player spends 5 months in the Husk domain

[tribal breach]

GEO IS REALLLLLLL

I FUCKING WONNNNNN

Arlecchino pyro

SHE GOT A GUN

[brazen marsh]

Whoa full cons 😱

[hazy badge]

Why couldn't this just be pyro.

[vagrant hamlet]

Ikr, I had something similar looking goblet but for elements other than pyro

[tribal breach]

bruh

[hazy badge]

You gonna let it sit at +0 or naw.

[calm pagoda]

lol

[amber valve]

Yay

[harsh swift]

[lethal timber]

Can someone enlighten me how is this a freaking salt topic?

[lethal timber]

Btw that is her delusion not vision

[tribal breach]

Who cares?

[lethal timber]

LOL..apparently someone being mad for being ignorant

[trim bluff]

u can talk in general hunter no one will eat you 😂

that being said things don't always stay on-topic in any channel so like, nothing to be too strict ab

esp in this server

[tribal breach]

Nah salt is my home

We're talking about genshin here, where else is there to go?

[trim bluff]

#💭・general

[tribal breach]

Shhh you weren't supposed to say that

[trim bluff]

what made u stop

u used to talk there

[tribal breach]

I don't think I did?

At least not frequently

Nevermind apparently I have almost 1000 messages there

...but I have over 10000 messages here LMAO

It looks like I stopped talking in general when I stopped being caught up to everything in the game

Yeah my last messages were during 3.3 which is when I gave up doing much more than dailies and resin

So I guess I'm always here because the only things I do in this game are get bad rng for commission achievements and roll shitty artifacts

[trim bluff]

💀

understandable

i do the events but speed tap through them

and abyss ofc....

but idk wtf is going on w story or characters

[tribal breach]

I still do events and abyss but fuck the 3.7 abyss and I don't do events until they're completely out

[trim bluff]

so general is good at giving me some info

[tribal breach]

I tell myself I'll watch gameplay of the events later and then don't 💀

[trim bluff]

don't do that to urself

[tribal breach]

I can't remember the last event I actually knew what was going on

[trim bluff]

a lot of general r still like u

[tribal breach]

God knows it wasn't this stupid dumb fuck tcg event we had this patch holy shit I couldn't stand that event

[trim bluff]

don't pay attention to events, hate the abyss

i didnt mind it

i liked playing a bit of tcg but i couldnt play that shit regularly

it gets monotonous so fast

and the rng dice is such a stupid mechanic

[tribal breach]

Some demon possessed and I completed all of tcg except for two achievements in the span of 2 days

Haven't touched that shit since and don't plan to ever again

[trim bluff]

damn can this demon enter me alrdy

[tribal breach]

Do you have multiple monitors?

[trim bluff]

no

[tribal breach]

Damn

[trim bluff]

sucks to suck

[tribal breach]

I only got through it because I had Netflix the entire time

I finished an entire season of breaking bad before I finished tcg

I'm gonna have to actually play the game in 3.8 though

I'm too far behind to be content moving into Fontaine

My Sumeru statue is like level 5 still and the big onion tree is like maybe level 30

[trim bluff]

i still haven't decided on a name for wanderer

💀

might just name him Hunter after this convo which is encouraging me to complete the story

[tribal breach]

I just named him Fujin to complete the quest, good enough for me

[trim bluff]

that's fair

[tribal breach]

I had World Trigger on my mind when I was playing it and his abilities look like Fujin does in the anime

And also yknow wind god

[trim bluff]

ofc

his name could be focalors if it allows me

[tribal breach]

But um yeahhh I've not done any character quests since 3.1 except for Nilou and Alhaitham because they were blocking me from doing events

[trim bluff]

for the funskes

funsies

ah

i was smarter than that

nilou and alhaitham's quest only slightly block us

[tribal breach]

I've learned though that I should NOT do the Yoimiya quest until I'm done with Sumeru commission achievements

[trim bluff]

when u move locations it unblocks

so i stopped it halfway

🙂

[tribal breach]

There's a certain stage in the Yoimiya Act II quest that blocks FIVE commissions from happening per cycle which is a huge time saver once I finish those achievements

[trim bluff]

smart

wish mondstadt had some mechanic to help me get tsarevich or whatever his name is

i need to spy for him

[tribal breach]

If I wasn't dumb this could have been my last Sumeru cycle but I never did Desert Bloom before the end of my Cycle 1 so now I have to do a Cycle 4

[true crater]

yoimiya quest was decent

and pretty short

[ember oasis]

it's literally the same poeple lol

[trim bluff]

it do be the same poepls

[tribal breach]

I wouldn't know 🤷‍♂️

[trim bluff]

what cycleeeee

there's commission cycles

what.

[tribal breach]

Ah

Yes

[ember oasis]

dude my sumeru statue is level 1

and i didn't unlock the tree HAHA

sumeru is an ez skip

[tribal breach]

Every region has a "cycle" where you can only get a given NPC commission a certain amount of times until you complete every other NPC commission their number of times

[trim bluff]

their number of times?

[tribal breach]

Mondstadt, for example, has about 80 NPC commissions. Whispers in the Wind is only obtainable once per cycle. If you get Whispers of the Wind as your first NPC commission then you have to complete all other 80 NPC commissions in Mondstadt before Whispers of the Wind is able to be obtained again

[trim bluff]

I see

that's

annoying :)

yet i keep getting anna's fucking adventures

[tribal breach]

Some commissions can happen multiple times per cycle, like Garcia's Paean: Easy Peasy, which you can get 4 times per cycle

[trim bluff]

ah right

[hazy badge]

I only did dailies in Mondstadt for like... two days.

[trim bluff]

damn boi u a big helpful nerd

[tribal breach]

If you're interested in learning more about commission mechanics I can dm you an invite to a discord for it

[trim bluff]

sure

there's a discord server for everything

[hazy badge]

There is a whole discord server dedicated to commission mechanics?

[trim bluff]

💀

apparently so

[hazy badge]

What a time to be alive.

[trim bluff]

or maybe it's just genshin mechanics in general?

[ember oasis]

yeah that's annoying

i wish they didn't do that

[tribal breach]

You want it too Tatra?

[hazy badge]

I'm good. Appreciate it though.

[amber valve]

[plucky beacon]

Omg I didn't know this?!

I'm suffering for those whispers 🫠

[harsh swift]

[amber valve]

I kept getting the nun near the cliff and blocked

[tribal breach]

Im still at 2/5 and don't plan to go back till I'm 100% done with Sumeru

[amber valve]

Finally got dear daddy and the glory award

[ember oasis]

i saw albert and quit mond coms

did liyue all these days until recently

[amber valve]

885 awards and I'm not try harding

[plucky beacon]

I just want to not see the whispers achievement on the list rip

I don't even achievement hunt

[amber valve]

Started there and not a single npc dally in 3 days

Need the story teller and I'm done

[tribal breach]

I have about 100 achievements currently walled behind my lack of motivation to explore Sumeru

Like I said earlier I've done nothing in this game since 3.3

[amber valve]

They will add underground map in 4.0 so will make it easier

[true crater]

did they say that?

[amber valve]

I've done everything

[amber valve]

Yes

[true crater]

oooh

i eagerly await

[ember oasis]

oh god that one com took SO long

[true crater]

might actually make me revisit underground sumeru for once

[tribal breach]

Maybe another demon will possess sometime and suddenly Sumeru will be 100% in a few days

[ember oasis]

apparently the com was bugged and i never got the rain of ringing blades 2

[tribal breach]

Damn rip

[true crater]

i got 100% on the map and then just stopped doing any exploration in sumeru

especially underground

impossible to know where uv been or havnt been

[tribal breach]

I'm 100% done with Liyue and Inazuma, all quests, exploration and achievements

[true crater]

like map 100% or true 100%

i stop at map 100%

[tribal breach]

Mondstadt 100% quests and exploration but I gave up on commission achievements

[tribal breach]

Map 100%

[true crater]

im not sweaty enough for true 100%

[hazy badge]

Map 100% is good enough for me tbh.

[true crater]

yea

[tribal breach]

Me either

[hazy badge]

Shit is way too much work to go beyond that.

[ember oasis]

i ditch exploration at 20-40%

[tribal breach]

The only time I do map 100% is the limited areas

[ember oasis]

[amber valve]

https://genshin.hoyoverse.com/en/news/detail/111908

Took me a while to find it

[hazy badge]

...Do you even play the game?

[tribal breach]

GAA and that extra Enkanomiya thing they did in like 2.5 or whenever

[amber valve]

[hazy badge]

I loved the Enka event.

[true crater]

the enka one was easy

cos it gave u markers

[hazy badge]

Just because it was explore Enka again.

And Enka is 11/10.

[true crater]

i sweat a bit for GAA and did true 100%

[amber valve]

Nothing was time gated

[ember oasis]

i enjoy it when my friends are around

[amber valve]

Time gating events grr

[hazy badge]

p l a y e r r e t e n t i o n

[true crater]

when im afk but dont wanna close the game i just sit in enka

my favorit ambience in the game

[tribal breach]

Man if only this subregion that has MASSIVE lore relevance had ANY reason for players to visit still

[amber valve]

True 100 you miss like 30-50 prinos from 100% on the map plus all those mora rocks count and there is alot of those

[ember oasis]

enka was amazing

it felt made the game fun again

[amber valve]

Games trash play something else

[tribal breach]

Enka was really cool for the first week and then I 100%'d it and I literally have only gone back there a single time when I accidentally got Yae Miko

[hazy badge]

[ember oasis]

it was unique which was a change of pace

[hazy badge]

I used to farm mobs there when I was bored.

[true crater]

but more recently i also afk in the vourukasha oasis and eternal oasis sometimes too

[amber valve]

People get Yae and have to rush half of inazuma to level her and shenhe

[hazy badge]

But other than that, yeah, ain't much to do.

[amber valve]

Does anyone go back to old areas

[true crater]

yea

[ember oasis]

i don't

unless it's for mats

[true crater]

i go stroll around old areas of map somtimes

[hazy badge]

I go back to the Chasm all the time to farm. lol

[amber valve]

Chasm, dragonspine enka

[surreal topaz]

How to do wish counter now in android?

[true crater]

ok not dragonspine

we dont go to dragonspine

[ember oasis]

check pins

[tribal breach]

I joined my friends world while he was in Mondstadt today and I think that's the first time I've been outside the city of Mondstadt in literally 6 months

[ember oasis]

in general

[hazy badge]

Am I playing the game wrong by actually going around the world or something.

[ember oasis]

i don't go anywhere, just doing coms and resin with my friend or by myself sometimes and then ALT F4

[tribal breach]

Same

Comms, resin, sometimes mess around in a friend's world, run around in circles for a few minutes and then log off for 12 hours

[hazy badge]

Hell, I got everything in the new desert area, but I still go back there to kill the new hillichurl mobs.

[tribal breach]

I kill things when I need their materials for something

[ember oasis]

my desert is at 2% lol

[hazy badge]

I kill things so I don't need the materials. lol

[tribal breach]

Oh wow that's impressive you have less than me

[ember oasis]

yeah i went there to get the faruzan berries

[tribal breach]

My desert is collectively 30% maybe?

[hazy badge]

...It's an exploration game.

About exploring.

[ember oasis]

i reside in liyue and inazuma most of the time

so i got exploration in those

one 100% and that's galesong i think

[tribal breach]

It's a gacha game about dumping limited resources into seventeen layers of rng 👍

[ember oasis]

mond is at 80-90% i think

let me check hoyolab

[tribal breach]

My Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Enka and Chasm are all 100%

Sumeru Rainforest half is all 100% too, but the highest exploration out of any of my desert regions is like 40%

[hazy badge]

That's like playing a game for specifically the bad reasons. Genshin's overworld is probably the best thing it has going for it that doesn't make you want to jump off a cliff.

[tribal breach]

It's just about the time commitment for me

Sumeru launched during my busiest year of school so I just hardly had time to play and now there's so much to catch up on I don't know where to begin so I just don't

[hazy badge]

You don't have to explore for 10 hours a day. Spend 15 minutes and wander somewhere and you're bound to make progress.

[tribal breach]

Exploring is more fun when it's 10 hours a day tho

[clear cargo]

i only have mondstadt at 100%

[ember oasis]

i like to leave the gamr open in the wither zones ngl

[clear cargo]

i still hate whoever made the campfire chest

[ember oasis]

the music there is good

[ember oasis]

a true explorer

[tribal breach]

If I ever leave the game open anymore I like to just sit in random Sumeru mountains

[ember oasis]

dori's theme hard style is peak

[hazy badge]

It's an open world game!? What are you supposed to do in it if not explore?

[tribal breach]

God I can't wait for Natlan

Just hand over Navia and Wriothesley and skip Fontaine I wanna go to Natlan already

[ember oasis]

you do your coms, event, spend resin and log out

someday i'll crawl out of my laziness and explore

[plucky beacon]

How did you get into the game if it wasn't for exploration 😂

[tribal breach]

Maybe I'll do some exploration tomorrow we'll see how early I'm up

I do want to finish Sumeru before going to Fontaine

Oh wait damn tomorrow is update day too so servers will be gone in the afternoon

I wanna know if I can get to 950 achievements before Fontaine launches

[ember oasis]

if my memory serves me right, i got into the game solely for klee

[plucky beacon]

Amazing

[tribal breach]

I got into the game because it was 2020 and Zoom classes were boring

[plucky beacon]

Only sumeru and Enka not 100% for me mostly cus of nausea

[ember oasis]

and found out about albedo and bennett later

you guys are monsters

damn

[tribal breach]

Fun fact Genshin was my first ever gacha game

Another fun fact I have still not played any other gacha game besides genshin

[hazy badge]

That is the most depressing way to play this game.

I've played HI3, HSR, and Genshin. Haven't touched HI3 in a hot minute though.

[tribal breach]

Genshin is enough gacha for my lifetime

[ember oasis]

ig

i'll probably change it when fontaine shows up

genshin is my second or third gacha

garupa genshin hsr hi3 and something i forgot

[tribal breach]

I have one week between Fontaine's release and moving to college so that'll be fun

[ember oasis]

speaking of honkai, elysia

[hazy badge]

Elysia.

[ember oasis]

[hazy badge]

The FC arc was what got me into HI3 tbh.

I loved Elysian Realm. I wished Genshin had content like that.

[tribal breach]

I'm tired I'm going to sleep gn yall

[hazy badge]

Night.

[hazy badge]

I hadn't looked at the event yet. Didn't realize you could get the outfit so quick. lol

[tribal breach]

It's been less than 12 hours wtf

[fast pike]

Takes about 2,5h to get enough tickets for the skin

[ember oasis]

box

lol he's sitting on crates

[hazy badge]

Box?

[errant yoke]

How many tickets do you have rn

[calm pagoda]

I'm just starting the event now

with interactive map on the other monitor

[slow yarrow]

Did you use the map? I have been running around for more than 3 hours now

[errant yoke]

Why'd you not use the map? You're just torturing yourself.

[slow yarrow]

cuz

cuz

idk

[slow yarrow]

I thought my exploration skills were godly after doing the desert by barely using it

[calm pagoda]

the water droplet animations are so cute oml

[worn tiger]

I have 158 and i cannot find anymore

[errant yoke]

Wtff how

[tribal breach]

i think that maybe yall should get some sleep and/or touch grass

[worn tiger]

Sorry not 158

It was 154

U have 1 more

[trim bluff]

big coming from you 😜

[calm pagoda]

I highly agree

[tribal breach]

From ME??

The longest I've spent on this game in one day since version 3.1 was 2 hours because I had to grind an entire version event before it ended

[calm pagoda]

wow

[tribal breach]

If yall are already more than halfway done with this event/have ALREADY finished it yall gotta find something else to do

[calm pagoda]

I'm taking my time with it

[tribal breach]

I haven't even started yet lmao

[calm pagoda]

map progress so far

[tribal breach]

I probably won't even start this event for like another week or something

[calm pagoda]

you have the time to spare

[tribal breach]

I'm not pulling another GAA2 where I had to 100% it all in the last week though

[calm pagoda]

infamous last words

[ember oasis]

who else would aim for 1% despite knowing that it wont happen

[tribal breach]

1% is better odds than I normally have

[worn tiger]

Does anyone hava more cupons ?

[vagrant hamlet]

That's fast, I haven't done a single chest yet, just doing the story mode lol

[calm pagoda]

I was doing half of each

[vagrant hamlet]

I will be sure to finish all of them this weekend

[thorn karma]

Guys, is Paimon ok? I can't seem to import my wish history. Just got Eula under 15 pity 🤪

anyone know why paimon.moe cant find the link for my wish history?

im on pc and used method 1

Finally a Nahida upgrade that I've been looking for

[trim bluff]

im.... so happy for you... 🙂🔫

[plucky beacon]

Flat 35 atk, toss it

[solemn merlin]

damn

just recently come back to play

[fast pike]

Sometimes I feel bad about my artifacts, but then I remember the people who have it a lot worse and I feel better about my account, it's especially interesting to see streamers do abyss for viewers and what random garbage their chars often have equipped

[solemn merlin]

how much time you spend on to get those crit dmg and Cr that high

[plucky beacon]

I'm glad I make you feel better because of me lmfao

[fast pike]

Soon 1k days active and I do 1 resin refill a day

[solemn merlin]

Ya'll crazy in artifact, I just spend most my resin on XP and level up charactor

[fast pike]

I'm pretty much done with leveling my chars and since I buy BP and play the events I get enough XP tomes without ever doing leylines for them anymore

[ember oasis]

what the hell

1%

[trim bluff]

Gilded nahida because my dwm pieces suck

[tribal breach]

Yall Nahida's are fucking cracked mine sucks

[trim bluff]

its a triple em support build

[tribal breach]

This is the best set I have on 4 DW according to optimizer

[trim bluff]

naturally less damage

ah

try gilded

:)

[tribal breach]

I have a cr circlet with 25cd on deepwood and that EM circlet is still better

[tribal breach]

I'm out of gilded pieces that's why I'm back in the domain again

[trim bluff]

out of??? did u eat them or what 😭

[tribal breach]

Other chars

Ignore the circlet we don't talk about it

[trim bluff]

she can just steal them for the optimiser and akasha momentarily

[tribal breach]

I like having my actual builds on optimizer

[trim bluff]

fair enough

[tribal breach]

Cause yknow no point in a top 50 build if that's not the actual build I use yeah?

That Itto set would definitely put my Albedo even higher than he is but I gotta keep it authentic

But yeah imma be living in GD/DW domain for a bit

Alhaitham has room for improvement, I'd like to get Gilded for Yae, Nahida can definitely be upgraded

[plucky beacon]

I'm in low roll hell

[trim bluff]

lemme play a tune on the world's smallest violin

[fast pike]

Fodder, not even 40 CV

[plucky beacon]

I'm in pain

This game is fucking rigged I just got 3 em gd sands, two which had crit, but no dw em sands insight wtf

[plucky beacon]

Dunno how I feel about the lack of em tho 🥹

[calm pagoda]

wtf is that circlet tho

and feather

jayciiiii

[ember oasis]

bro is holding some of the most illegal pieces

[plucky beacon]

Let me have this I never get good shit

The circlet is my best ever

I'm actually more impressed with the goblet than the feather

[ember oasis]

it iis indeed very impressive

my nahida doesn't even have 4pc

[plucky beacon]

Looks like someone's constellation but I can't rmbr who

No dendro dmg tho 😭

And I am sorry for your sands

Truly the sands of all time badumptch

[ember oasis]

indeed

i'll probably give this sands to shinobu once i get a good replacement for nahida

[trim bluff]

truly a shinobu piece

[calm pagoda]

Imma mention the high cr feather again

[vagrant hamlet]

that crazy sand

[plucky beacon]

I have no such thing :)

[calm pagoda]

you shut

[plucky beacon]

this is more cracked than me, please have a die and never complain about mine hmph

[calm pagoda]

my ranking is lower

(because it's a different leaderboard as well)

[plucky beacon]

yeah but for a different category

[calm pagoda]

ranking worse
therefore worse

[plucky beacon]

but you have cracked pieces so please excuse yourself

231.7cv wtf even is that

[calm pagoda]

I have one 240cv

(not nahida)

[plucky beacon]

fuck thyself please
