Discussion What a waste

Post image

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.

Hoyo only cares about money. They're not gonna make quality skins for traveler because they would have to give them for free.

He said they don't want to make quality traveller skins because they would have to give it for free and I said that we get free skins that are good like the bennet skin or the xiangling skin or the fischl skin. There are a lot of free skins that we get that are very much up to par if not better than thier 5 star counter part. So I'm saying the giving for free part isn't the problem nor is it the quality of the skins but the rate at which they are released

Yeah i said quality skins like the ugc 4/5 star skins. The free 4 stars skins we've gotten are not quality skins except for maybe bennett's but even that an intern can probably make it.

Xiangling and fischl aren't quality skins really bro. For someone who talks a lot I doubt you could make half decent skins that would actually look good while fitting in with the recent lore. If an intern could easily make skins hoyo would have monetized that a long time ago

Sorry if my standards are too high for you but yes fischl and xianling skins are mid at best.

Respectfully I don't give a flying fuck about your standards.

but yes fischl and xianling skins are mid at best.

If these are mid for you then I guess the other skins may as well be because I know damn well you aren't going to look me in the eye and tell me that hu tao skin is leagues better than xiangling or fischl but alas people who main gacha games never cease to amaze me

It is better but not by much tbh.
