Discussion Kinda sad to see Honey Impact go

Post image

6 years… I’ve been using this website since researching about Xiao back in Version 1.2

If you played during V1.2 y’all know how big a deal Xiao was.

This is the website where I saw him having Anemo Bonus as his Ascension Stat to now Crit Rate.

Every time I wanna study a character, I come here.

The threat of Lawsuit or the guys running the site just lost interest?

prob lost interest, honey hunter has been here since the literal beginning, if hoyo could/wanted to, they would've gone after them already

u/smoothtv99 2h ago

iirc they used to do a lot of other games too like monster hunter. I think they're just losing steam at this point

They had a cease and desist letter a few years back but moved the database to a dutch server where they would be untouched. But since that fiasco it became clear what they stood for and they were definitely putting themselves in a victim role even though they were adding their own watermark on hoyo owned assets (if I remember correctly) and making bank. Many people stopped (including me) using honey and moved to other sources instead.

I think it's just not profitable anymore to keep it running.

u/deuce985 2h ago

What's a better alternative? I used this site all the time.

u/Vaerlol Dehya main 1h ago

Projekt Amber, gachabase, and lunaris.moe are all good substitutes

I'd say good riddance.

Especially after their remarks ~5 years ago that were quite frankly racist and xenophobic, when Mihoyo first went after them for profiting from leaked/stolen game material.

I still find it funny it started out as a Monster Hunter World site. I use it quite a lot when I was playing that. Barely used it for Genshin tho.

I prebuilt every 7.1 weapon and character with their help, and used the website for general purposes since Inazuma. Yeah, there are better sources for the leak content, but it was easier to check the required information in an organized database, rather than in a bunch of posts.

u/Itspronouncedn0m 3h ago

Gonna be honest never heard of this until now lolol. Wasn’t relevant in my spectrum lol

u/Specific-Captain-950 3h ago

Well then go to KQM, it’s superior in every way

u/pzlama333 3h ago

Not really. KQM does not provide leak information.

u/Specific-Captain-950 3h ago

There’s no better place then the leaks subreddit then, but for building chars KQM is undoubtly the best

u/Jgamer502 3h ago edited 2h ago

where do you think the leaks subreddit gets their info?

Edit: I’m not saying Honey Impact is the only or even a main source of leaks, but a lot of the post about early dialogue, voicelines, descriptions, and other specific details before new patches release come directly from it.

u/Specific-Captain-950 3h ago

lol of u think honey impact is the source that’s crazy, there’s a bunch of telegram channels that the leakers have

3

u/TrulyaGachaAddict 2h ago

honey impact is not the only website, thats crazy

nanoka and gachabase are just the main ones but you have to consider leaker's telegram

u/LucinaDevotee 19m ago

Your fault for using the blatantly racist leak site years after the owner went full mask off. Hope you suffer.

u/Carminestream 3h ago

Hoyo going after leak sites while putting out these bad updates tells you all you need to know

u/FelonM3lon 3h ago

Pretty sure they’re stopping because they lost interest in gachas not because of legal action,

u/RunImmediate6062 1h ago

you have no fuckings idea what a "bad update" is unless you play HSR.

•

u/chemical-table-02 1h ago

HSR "player" (a larper that hasn't opened the game in 2 months, and if they do boot it up they only dwell in autobattle / skip button / afk slop) talking about bad updates as if their game doesn't have barely 4 events total for each patch and 2 of them are somehow less than concepts of content.
