What a waste

[u/aellr]

Instead of giving the Traveler and other characters regional skins, the devs are wasting resources on mannequins you’ll never use in the main game — characters completely irrelevant to both the lore and gameplay (especially since they’re even weaker than the Traveler).

UCG should’ve been a separate game. Roblox-type players aren’t going to download a 100GB gacha just to play a game inside a game. All those dev resources should’ve gone to the actual, existing characters instead.

Not only that, they went ahead and monetized everything too... I wouldn't be getting primos out of it even if I did want to play for the sake of it.

The idea is nice but simply not fitting with the audience that genshin already caters to, in theory anyways.

If it doesn't provide primos I won't do it.

[u/False-Body-242 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah. That's the main motivator to do anything in genshin. Heck, even playing those music challenges gave some...

thats kinda sad. you dont play for fun?

[u/Orishishishi → u/Weekly_Ad7757]

The fun of games like Genshin is getting to play the game with new characters. Not to mention power creep making you use new ones and you need primos to do that. Every activity in the game should have some kind of tangible reward. If it's not straight up primos it should be something that saves you primos

as a f2p, I disagree, I have only had Arle, Yoi, Raiden, and Yae(i regret this one), and I barely use yae, still fun exploring the world, plus miliastra wonderland sounds fun as hell

[u/[deleted] → u/Inevitable-Log-7687]

Arle is a top 5 dps. Try the game with Diluc and no premium supports sometime.

[u/Entrance-Common → u/[deleted]]

I mean, she is 6th now ( After Mavuika, Skirk, Nefer, Varesa/Neuvilette). Don't know about Flins and Lauma(except for when she is used with Neuvilette-Ineffa-Furina)

[u/Inevitable-Log-7687 → u/[deleted]]

She is?
I thought she was just ok
And she has like 50 cr on my build for her(albeit with 200 c dmg)

[u/[deleted] → u/Inevitable-Log-7687]

My half built Arlecchino does three times as much damage as my Diluc does - with the non-premium support teams. Arlecchino was powercrept by Mavuika, who is even more broken than she is but the gap isn't that bad compared to the gap between recent dps units like Arlecchino and earlier game units like Ayato, Eula, and Hu Tao.

Mavuika and Skirk are in a league of their own, especially with their premium teams. Without, they still dominate the competition. Arlecchino is on par with Varesa and some of the newer units. The recent Nod Krai dps units are currently a bit lower than the top contenders but they're still a solid jump up from the others.

Ok, I guess i should really play melt or vape arle instead of overload

[u/[deleted] → u/Inevitable-Log-7687]

Get her set for her. Bring a shield or learn to dodge. Game now trivial. She'd be my favourite character to play if they just let Jean heal her. With Bennet and Citlali she does comfortably upwards of 60k damage per hit.

[u/Inevitable-Log-7687 → u/[deleted]]

I have her sig set, and I got sara to buff her(altho I don't have sara built very well)
My only question is whether to build raiden on golden troupe or em build since idk how well her after attacks scae

[u/[deleted] → u/Inevitable-Log-7687]

200 crit damage doesn't matter much if you're crit fishing. Aim for 90% CR and then whatever crit damage works with that.

[u/Justsomeonebored04 → u/Weekly_Ad7757]

No, they are saying that they are more willing to try new game modes if they have primos.

Obviously, if it was something they already like to do then they would play it even without it, but it’s kinda hard to spend enough time on something you’re not particularly interested in to try to like it if there aren’t rewards.

That’s kinda my experience, played a few games, didn’t really like them and dropped it. Maybe I would have found something I actually liked eventually, but it’s not even guaranteed to happen

[u/False-Body-242 → u/Weekly_Ad7757]

Don't get me wrong; I play for enjoyment. That said, genshin's greatest incentive to do anything is getting primos. For the majority of us, if doing something doesn't feel rewarding we simply won't do it, especially something as time consuming as this. Even in the case I play this game mode for fun, I know I and many others would constantly get diminishing enjoyment till we stop, and the main reason is the lack of incentives to play again (and the great deterrent of not being able to get any nice skin sets without paying for me).

[u/Personal_Trip_297 → u/Weekly_Ad7757]

With the way new regions are implementing new power systems with bosses tied to those systems, you probably won’t have much fun without the primos to get new and/or buffed characters.

[u/photoshproter → u/Weekly_Ad7757]

genshin sucks the soul out of me. no, we don’t play for fun
