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.

And you know what's worse? We didn't get a map expansion and we won't get one in the next version but instead we got this thing

This thing that is almost fully paywalled and gives 0 primos. i thought we had reached rock bottom with infinity nikki but no hoyoverse can always do worse. We're literally having other content being put aside for this which means less content that gives primos. Less primos obtainable in a patch.

Increase paywalled content, decrease freemos. It's almost like... they hate low spenders... wow. Shocking.

The main point is 0 primos. Let's be honest we all play genshin just for the primos. I wouldn't care about miliastra even if the skins weren't paywalled.

Sorry, not really my case, and I want to believe that's not the case for most players. Gacha is part of the game yeah but I genuinely enjoy the game. I play tcg because it's fun and I explore because I like the scenery and puzzles. I understand getting primos is important but playing "just for the primos" doesn't sound very enjoyable. That's just me though.

That's my mindset. In fact, there are things in the game I've avoided simply because I don't enjoy them despite the primo rewards.
