The event controls need to give us the option to look at the camera though.

Not yet. Most of the characters I'm currently building use the new artifact set I'm still farming. Doesn't make sense to start crafting one of those already. But I'm also just a bit hesitant to use those limited items. If a strongbox artifacts fails to deliver, it's like whatever. But a custom-made artifact that you spent valuable resources for? That's rough. I might just prefer strongbox for that reason.
I happened to get a good upgrade for Klee today from the strongbox:

They've been pretty generous with them so far but yea eventually there may be a drought, probably after maxing out the pyro sigil thing.Not yet.

It'd be good if we can get 4 per patch at least.

I did a goblet. Got 2 bumps on CR and 1 on CD.So has anyone else tried the Artifact Transmuter?
Curious about others' results.
I tried it again with an ER sands but it was a dud.

Not tooo bad if the other stats were usable.

I checked and yeah, this is my best CR circlet too all the way from release. All other pieces that come close have 20 ~ 21 CDMG. I think this was only possible because it started with 4 substats.
I do have this busted CDMG one though:

Just completed new theatre. Had exactly enough characters for the hardest difficulty after switching to Geo Traveler.
I enjoyed the last theatre but I guess the chosen elements make big difference cause I hated this one.
I was back to feeling like I was just being forced to play a bunch of dysfunctional teams.
Got stuck early on getting the flower on an elite defense stage. After getting through it the rest was pretty easy, just level the blessings and trigger reactions.
Definitely not going to be replaying it.

New web event. One and done type.
"Urgent Orders" — The web event for Genshin Impact's new character: Xilonen is now available. Take part to obtain Primogems, Character Ascension Materials, and other in-game rewards. Details: https://hoyo.link/buokFBAL
*edit*
Not sure if these are the same codes I posted in the last code dump, but worth doing again since most are likely expiring soon if they haven't already
*edit 2*
The majority of them worked, mora and materials and food. I had already personally entered all the primogems ones already though. Still, not a bad haul for a few minutes of work.

I’ve been reading some stuff about Xil outside of Natlan, is she even usuable for travel outside of the region? Without nightsoul sounds like some of these characters get gutted.
InterMusketeer

The quickswap to other characters doesn't work outside Natlan I believe, so yeah her traversal is mostly limited to Natlan itself. Even more than most other characters.
Been pre-farming for her nonetheless in the new domain and it's amazing how DEF% pieces just dodge you when you do need them.

Doesnt look good, without plhlogiston her skill only lasts 2 secs on land and 6 secs for climbing.

feels like none of the natlan characters are good for traversal outside of natlan, i'm gonna pull xilonen to get a healer for my keqing aggravate team instead of using kazuha all the time

Ya the other thing I was thinking is maybe she’ll pair well with Navia, now that travel is out of the question

Wonder if they're gonna make Mavuika able to provide Phlogiston to characters outside of Natlan. I hate the idea of region locking gameplay mechanics, and I don't know that I'd be happy with a "roll this character to fix it" answer, despite me already 100% pulling for Mavuika.

Zhongli's kinda looks like a tail.Final versions of JohnLee and Keq's Echoes.
Honestly Zhongli's is boring as fuck. I know the old one kinda looked like fart lines, but they could have done better IMO. Keq's is kinda boring too but at least it looks pleasing.

My first thought too, looks like a tail.
InterMusketeer
Member
That's what I'm expecting, but they could just give her the ability to regenerate Phlogiston or increase the maximum amount with Natlan or something.
As for the Echoes, I wish they'd start giving them to more recent characters too. Kirara was a nice start but I think they should start making them for Fontaine characters and such. Who cares about these old ass characters really?
BTW, small reminder not to forget to do Kinich's tribe quest within the next couple days for the extra rewards including 60 primos.

It's definitely a slow burn thing for them. We can only get keys at a snail's pace anyways. But yea it'd be nice if they mixed up some old/some new. If I were in charge of it, I'd make it a monthly vote thing on social media to drive engagement, but what do I know?
Anyways, some new leaks today. Here are supposed banners for 5.2. The new dude will be a 4* apparently. This game is just not giving me any opportunity to save for Mavuika...
Also there are some early Pyro Traveler leaks, saying they're going to be really strong in comparison to past Traveler iterations. Something on a similar level to the latest Star Rail main character iteration (who is actually really really good). I'll believe it when I see it.
InterMusketeer

What kind of garbage banners are those? Looking at that pic I seriously thought we were getting a Chronicled Wish rerun in 5.2. Those characters do not belong in the normal rotation anymore. Get Shenhe on there and others who've been neglected for years. This has got to be fake.
...Not that it really affects me. I'm locked in for the big booty flying cowgirl elf.

I dunno if you read the other leaks about a week ago but apparently in 5.2 we are headed back to Dragonspine for Durin revival and Wanderer is supposedly the protagonist of the patch again. CN is already getting furious about it.
InterMusketeer
Member
Must have missed that one, or repressed my memory of it. Are we getting a new area of Natlan in 5.2? Sounds more like a filler event to me.
Pejo
Gold Member
Doesn't sound new Natlan areas, no. So I guess 5.3 will be the remaining 3 tribes and a probably sizable area expansion. We still have Mare Jivari opening up at some point in Natlan, I'd assume.
InterMusketeer
Member
I expected a new area in 5.2 since that's how it went in Fontaine, but I assume they're saving it for Mavuika/Lantern Rite. Makes sense. It will be a bit strange though when Chasca (presumably) allows us to use the power of flying Saurians without a F2P in-universe alternative.
Pejo
Gold Member
I'm sure they will introduce a new Saurian breed to match Casca's abilities (if they're needed for traversal at any rate). Probably a small pterodactyl or something similar. But yea no new area for 5.2 would be pretty silly. Maybe there will be and Dragonspine will just be half of the patch. HoYo has been cracking down on leakers pretty hard lately, could explain why we know less and less.
InterMusketeer
Member
I meant that I would assume a pterodactyl Saurian (and any challenges etc. to go along with them) could only realistically be introduced in a new area. Guess we'll see. Lantern Rite without a new area is not ideal either, but it has happened before. Maybe they'll add smaller areas for each tribe from here on out.

as they should, ass-hat guy might be my least favorite character in any game i've played in the last decade. I have no idea why they keep making him appear, he's not even entertaining like Itto's stupid shenanigans. I remember when they kept giving Tartaglia reruns because he was the game director's favorite character but emo twink dude is just exhausting.

yeah atp i'm just in it to see the rest of the story, idc about anything else. log in a couple times a week, don't really even care about accumulating resources anymore. my artifacts are good enough and i highly doubt they can introduce some sort of new gameplay design that will make me invested in the mechanical aspect of building the account any more. it's pretty freeing not caring about daily logins

Ya this has actually been happening to me lately,
Not really sure what to even spend energy on when I log in. Everyone I really like I built up enough to the point I’m way into diminishing returns territory, and I even ran out of gas trying to level up characters I don’t use for their wishes… just not worth the hassle.
Last few days I’ve just been running condensed resin for gold leylines and logging out.
Might just need to take a break for a bit, dunno. I still want to pull for the pyro archon of course and see the story, but ya, that’s about it.

Those 4-stars are actually fine for me. They have nothing to do with Xilonen or Chiori but that's hardly a surprise anymore.

I was listening to a game music playlist earlier and a really amazing song came on, and just listening to it with the song info offscreen, I thought it was a song from a Nier game. Turns out it's a Genshin song.
How the fuck did I miss this Furina promo back in the day? Anyways 10 out of 10 song.
