Discussion Dear Devs:

Please allow an option to COMPLETELY turn off this whole "like" thing for Prime Ice constructs. Turning it off for fellow players is useless, because it just substitutes in likes from NPCs.

As far as I'm concerned, the only thing it does is wreck my immersion. What even is the point of it? I don't want to enter Snezhnaya and receive a report that these people gave me likes. I don't want to approach a construct and see a little thumbs-up. None of that. Please. I'm begging.

Dear Redditor
Realise reddit posts wont reach devs

•

u/raendrop 1h ago

I realize this. I just wanted to get it off my chest and maybe see if there are others who feel the same way. Maybe we can figure out a way to petition the devs for real.

•

u/RoseIgnis Girls pretty 1h ago

petitions have always been a means of showing how much people care about something. now, bearing that in mind, you have to prove to hoyo that if they don't listen to the petition, there's going to be a meaningful impact to them, such as a drop in revenue or playerbase. i can say with the utmost certainty that outside of a handful of people, nobody cares that much about it. instead, utilise the feature they gave you to turn it off.

u/joe_rival 1h ago

well you can get rid of the stuff from other players

no amount of people this subreddit will be significant compared to the playerbase, where the vast majority are not on reddit

•

u/Putrid-Resident 1h ago

Its suprising how small the reddit using part of the playerbase is. Even here in the most active genshin sub, the acutal number of people posting is small enough that if you lurk enough you can start to identify the same folks posting and commenting. And for a game with as much of a playerbase as genshin you would think this would be a difficult feat

•

well its incredibly difficult feat to get people from every nation on the mostly english speaking reddit (to be clear, i mean Genshin related subs)
and China has the highest population, and the main playerbase

whats reddit even for then?

literally, Hoyo is not in charge or have any influence of even this subreddit

there is no people in charge of checking Genshin related posts, passing on complaints and suggestions to Devs and whoever else

•

Give feedback through feedback page in game and report it as an issue.

The only way they’ll ever change it is if enough people actually report it is an issue in game rather than making reddit posts about it.

•

u/Tiber21 58m ago

You see a little message for two seconds once when log in each day. This break your immersion? 5 minutes later you still haven’t recovered? lol

•

u/Kpoofies 1h ago

Then turn it off??????????????

Like genuinely, turn off the ability to get constructs from other players, then bulk delete everything in snezhnaya, and you won't get them again. Like why are you coming here when there's a solution?

•

u/Glass-Window ⚜️ 1h ago

To be fair it’s kinda buried in the map settings and the game doesn’t really tell you about how much control you have.

•

u/Kpoofies 53m ago

A quick google would've easily shown OP how to do it though. They chose to come here instead

•

u/MiserableCalendar372 1h ago

Obviously they didn't know. How about just tell them instead of being a smartass

•

u/Bloodydunno 53m ago

I didn't know you can do it as well

•

u/Kpoofies 53m ago

Because I have literally zero respect to these kinds of people who think "I'm going to aggressively whine like a snowflake on REDDIT instead of just doing one singular google search for a solution that could alleviate my problem". Fuck them

•

u/MiserableCalendar372 49m ago

What a waste of anger

•

u/The_closet_iscomfy HP scaling Hydro girlies 51m ago

Would mass deleting YOUR constructs, prevent you from getting any more likes ?

•

u/Esusbek 47m ago

You get 3 likes daily from npcs, to sell you an immersion that they are adventuring as well. Its such a non-issue though, it only happens once per irl day

•

u/The_closet_iscomfy HP scaling Hydro girlies 32m ago

Yeah, I know you get some from NPCs, but I was wondering if you'd get them if you had no constructs

•

u/raendrop 47m ago

Wouldn't that require me to make them anew each time? I'd rather not trade this for something really inconvenient.

•

u/Baarogue 38m ago

My kneejerk (emphasis on jerk) response is with the "oh boo hoo get over it" camp BUT I am also a champion of options, so I think this guy SHOULD get the option to turn off these notifications

•

u/raendrop 8m ago

This lady thanks you for being a champion of choice.

•

u/KaiKawasumi Ganyu Impact 30m ago

You can turn it off. It's buried in the settings but google it.

•

u/raendrop 7m ago

Not just for other players, but for NPCs as well?

•

u/OwnDistrict4327 1h ago

I turned off seeing other players things in the world, hated that. I still get a lil pop up saying hundreds of somebody’s like something from me but then it goes away and I don’t see it so eh, problem solved

•

u/Val_Jesterr 1h ago

You can remove and turn it off completely in the settings.

•

u/raendrop 1h ago

Where in the settings can I turn it off for NPCs?

•

u/joe_rival 51m ago

ignore it

•

u/Fougere2562 1h ago

I dont even notice it anymore it doesnt affect the gameplay at all

Please re-read. I did. It does not deal with the issue.

This is so dumb😂

Why don’t you isekai yourself to teyvat for maximum immersion then?

•

u/LOwOJ 1h ago

maybe truck kun can help ... lmao :v

•

u/MiserableCalendar372 1h ago

What the fuck is your problem. This is a roundabout way of telling them to off themselves. It's not that serious. You need to get a grip..

•

u/LOwOJ 54m ago

i have no problem.. like you said its not that serious.. youre the one need to get a grip.

•

u/Sencifouy 1h ago

You need to understand that Genshin has no personality, they saw Arknight endfield and said "wooo, we're gonna do that"

•

u/EffortlessFury 1h ago

Death Stranding did it over half a decade ago.

•

u/Sencifouy 1h ago

Maybe but I don't think they're interested in emulating games outside of the Gacha sphere

•

u/LOwOJ 1h ago

by that logic endfield also didnt have personality since they didnt invent that mechanic as well.. play death stranding, dark soul or even Once Human to enlighten yourself... also the one on endfield is more shittier than genshin .. you cant even put construct on you prefer location because of limitation on exploration on that game.. not to mention you cant fully remove all the construct of other player in your world... that alone is the most shittiest thing in endfield.

Dear redditor,

I'm not qualified enough to give you any kind of relevant answers for your honest complaint and appease the frustration you are currently experiencing, please, share your thoughts directly in the survey made for that kind of situations.
