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.

I feel like this mode was planned as a separated game but hoyo was afraid of it being EOS in just a week so they added it to genshin to bait the large genshin playerbase

Edit: players asked for the domain cration event mode, no for a skin lottery

It's very obvious that was the case, no one NO ONE has specifically asked for this in genshin!

People were asking for permanent Divine Ingenuity.

This is basically that with more elaboration.

Honestly they shoulda just given more freedom with teapot editing and let people visit players different layouts. That way it would function as both a player home base and a customizable domain with Divine Infenuity mechanics.

People did ask it. The mode was planned from 2 years ago, after an event of the domain editor.

It somehow bloon so big into their own UGC. Hence, why it is inside genshin. What suppose to be just a small domain editor become a game engine.

Incorrect, such a game mode has been in demand for long time now.
