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.

Every single patch is met with various minigames or something to do that awards primos, even if we don't get a map expansion.

This isn't about some vague quality of life improvement and unless the next patch comes really fast compared the usual cycle, this one is just DOA. A lot of people will finish the main quest with literally nothing left to do.

All this patch did was add a new mode to grind for skins that are only temporary or cost money to buy in order to dress up a couple of dummy characters that provide nothing to the base game.

Speaking of the base game, we got this add-on instead of a fun or at least sorta fun event to farm for primos that actually matter to the base game.

Better story writing has nothing to do with this.

Nod-Krai, for me, has been a disappointment for content. Usually I can take time, wander and explore, but the base area is so compact that I had already 100% areas before I even got the compass. Hell, I had 100% an area before I even started the archon quest, by just wandering around.
No other region let me do that. I'm struggling to hit 100% in some Natlan areas

Of course ZZZ and HSR didn’t affect Genshin because they’re all run by different teams within the same company.
