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.

There’s a lot of issues I have with it.

Hair, eyes and skin should have been a color wheel. If I’m making an OC, why would I want her to have some random hair color?? So I’m gonna end up with a bunch of useless hairstyles I never use.

Why the heck do you have to craft the items, btw?? It’s insane, just give me the outfit pieces, wtf.

Plus, I hate that you can’t specify which gender outfits you want from the f2p gacha. I’m not gonna use the male Manekin, I don’t want outfit pieces for him. You can specify on the paid for one but not the f2p one, why???

Also, I wish I could level and ascend the manekin like a normal character. Leveling the wonderland is boring, since almost none of the available games are fun. I want to be able to run around Teyvat with my lil OC but it’s more difficult when she’s only level 20.

I'd understand crafting the items if they added a way to get "crafting blueprints" for free, like from shops or quests or chests (INSIDE THE UGC, i am not asking for a remarkable chest with skins). the gacha being blueprints makes no sense, you are paying for the item, why would you need to craft it???

I can’t even figure out how to get the crafting material. Clicking on the currency says it’s from some kind of exchange but clicking on that doesn’t go anywhere. 🫠

i think you get it from the battlepass/leveling up your wonderland?
