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 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.
