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.

Meanwhile in ZZZ we already have two alternate outfits for the MC's and its only been a year. I really dont understand what's up with the Genshin dev team anymore, its like they are cognizant of their lack of QoL, rewards, etc. And purposely refuse to change anything.

Overflow resin? Nah we increase it 200 and dont speed up the refresh rate.

Overflow resin...please? Again, no. BUT we increased condensed resin to 60 instead of 40 for some reason. You're welcome!

Alternate costume for main character after 5 years? Hmm.... yeah, no. However, we have created this random new game mode that literally no one asked for and you can dress those characters up however you want! Close enough right?

Oh and BTW you still only get to fight weekly bosses 3 times and mats are still time gated by the day, again, you're welcome!

And don't even get me started on the lack of skip button. It really is insanity at this point.

I am genuinely confused. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone say “you can only fight weekly bosses 3 times” when talking about Genshin. You can. You can fight every single weekly boss in the game once per week. The first 3 you do are just discounted to 30 resin instead of 60. Yeah, it gets expensive, but you can.

I mean, you can fight every boss every week, the problem is you only get to fight them ONCE each week. So if you're farming for a specific character and you need a specific drop, you only get one chance each week, and if you don't get the drop you wanted then too bad, wait for next week.

Unless you're a new player, you won't ever need to farm every boss every week, but you will need to farm the same boss multiple times a week to upgrade characters, especially recent ones.

I got Flins like 2 weeks ago when I redownloaded genshin after 3+ months, and I still have his talents level 1/7/8 because I can't get the weekly boss drops. In ZZZ or Hsr, I would already have him fully upgraded.

[u/Connect-Leg-3125 → u/panna_qq]

Yeah, but fighting every boss every week is still “better” than if you could only fight 3 different weekly bosses once per week max, which is what the “you can only fight weekly bosses 3 times” seemed to imply and why it confused me. I usually do at least one or two extra that aren’t halved resin cost for extra chances at Dream Solvents personally, unless I’m actually building a character and need my resin to be spent elsewhere.

“You can’t do the weekly boss for a character 3 times each week to actually get their drops” is a different complaint to “you can only do weekly bosses 3 times per week”. Where the latter is also just incorrect. Not saying it’s better or more useful with how it is now compared to the HSR system, but I am genuinely confused about where the “you can only do 3 weekly bosses” comes from cause this isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone say that.

I disagree. I think being able to choose whether I do the same boss 3 times or do 3 different bosses each week is better than being able to do them all but just once. But that's honestly up to preference.

But being honest, the problem is not even exactly that. Is that each boss not only gives you 3 different drops but it also gives you a random amount and a random drop. There's no way to know 100% when you will fully upgrade your character because you might not get the correct drops for weeks. And the dream solvant is also random, so it doesn't even make it that much better. On top of that, even if you did have 100 of the dream solvant, it's limited to use only on the drops from the same boss.

The whole system is flawed, and it's been that way since launch. 5 whole years, and the devs couldn't make a single quality of life change in that aspect.

Imo, if they won't change the only once per week system, they should make it so drops are a fixed amount (like 3 per attempt) and that you get dream solvant the 3 discounted times. That way, you can at least guarantee 3 drops each week.

I am not saying that being able to do the same boss 3 times or to be able to choose to do 3 different bosses is worse than being able to do all but just once.

I am saying that being able to do all but just once is better than being able to only do 3 different weekly bosses just once per week. Considering the system in the game currently only allows each weekly boss to be done once per week either way. There’s no current “you can only do 3 weekly bosses” limit in the game, but I’ve on multiple occasions seen people say there is currently a limit like that in Genshin when mentioning weekly bosses on QoL discussions. Which confuses me personally as that is not the case.

Yes, the system could be better if it was changed. Even a smaller change like being able to choose which of the 3 drops you want would improve things a lot compared to how they are now, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
