Aloy is 1000% the 5th Descender, who came after the Traveller.

24:25 Me with my Klee i got to level Razor: ehe

9:30 as a live service game that updates every 2months and theyre contsantly working on events, character roll outs and environments i can see why they'd wait until the big version updates to mess with stuff that works how they mean for it to work but not how the community would rather do it. No dev really wants to mess with old code like that especially something players use everyday. And this particular development has been tweaked THREE times since they changed it. They tweaked the weight of several enemies post Inazuma as well because of player feedback and i think the drops change are really because of spectors. The recent Polearm needed them, Kirara just got a skin and the envison visages trial and she needs them and its a real chore to farm them I'm sure they got a lot of feedback there too and tweaked the other mobs as a plus.

Greatest game in the world

Now that murder of birds has released the final part, I can say what’s on my mind about Elynas. I won’t spoil 4.8 but the important part to know is that the solution the cast of 4.8 had to resolve the problem in act 3 is VERY similar to this world quest. Suffice to say, there is a way to save someone that was apart of a past stream of events by changing their form to that of an appropriate form in order for them to live without harming others. For elynas, he could not live with the people from the surface and thus now live through the melusines he created. This quest also hints that he will one day possess a tangible form that won’t harm anyone. Now apply this to this specific person hinted at in the past and bam, you see that there is a way to save them. If you know you know. For random people who don’t know, you can watch murder of birds vod.

always down to hear your thoughts on the state of the game so more vids like this would definitely be welcomed ^^

I wouldn't say they made things "fix" because it was working as intended, but they definitely are making things better now that it's come to a new point. It's understandable when in the beginning of the game, there's not much to do but now when there are new players, to them, it'll be a long grind to try to catch up to where we are now.

EVEN TIMELESS RIVER!

I'm excited for all the changes and I enjoyed you going over them with us! 😊

When i'll have kids and they'll ask me what's the definition of hapiness, i'll show this video for sure

When I saw this video on my sub feed, I jumped. I was literally curious about your thoughts when this dropped and like, looked at your tweets to see if you had anything to say. A video was more than I hoped for! This is awesome! It would be cool to hear your thoughts on these kinds of stuff in the future as well!

I’m gonna be so sad when I have to two cycle a Hilichurl. 😭 (I am just kidding by the way).

I'm really looking forward to your playthrough of the Ann quest because that place is very beautiful

This is definitely an amazing addition to the channel. Your opinion is one of the most valuable when it comes to Genshin. Not only you played the game for a very long time, but have been enjoying since day 1. Not only that, you are not focused on the meta which seems like the go to for most content creators of the game. I love that these types of discussions are not exclusively on twitch and you are bringing them to YT.

i expect Natlans first monster to kill me if i look at it the wrong way, jokes aside im liking the WL9 idea and other features. i had the same idea jsut as you said, new content introduced is more challenging while older content gets easier, one example is how the Kairagi can be pulled when initially they couldnt, im glad im not the only one who noticed Enkanomiyas monsters are more resistant to damage, still remember how the 3 ruin guards spin attack dropped me off the map.

10:25 so I've been keeping most of my characters that require specter, samurai, and abyss mage mats at lvl 80 because grinding those are just awful. Very very happy for the increased drop rates

1:12:59 this is why every streamer has their own audience and people watch certain people who's interest are similar. You find someone with a equal lvl of passion to something that you also like, it's how you form communities to begin with. We who are in your community all love Genshin, HSR, RWBY, KH and so on and we all like how you portray your enthusiasm because it makes us smile in return.

I do hope they change the character talent now that it will become useless to have since you can just see them in the map now

My precious reputation quest mora 😢

I’ve given up on a lot of QoL stuff I’ve wanted in this game and they haven’t added for years now, but the one thing I will never give up on, is I really really want them to add an artifact trash and quick salvage like Star Rail and ZZZ has. Let trashed artifacts give out those exp potions too. Please. Artifacts are such a pain to manage in Genshin because they don’t have this one feature.

This is really welcomed! I enjoyed watching this video because you made it easier to understand what the updates are in more detail. So thanks for that 😂 I also agree that it'd be fun to have you upload these videos for every patch that comes out. Sometimes these updates are just very little and don't seem worth to make a whole video on it. So for big updates like these, it would make sense =)

Farming Kairagi/Nobushi drops for my Raiden and Ayaka back then was hell lmaooo

All I want from World Level 9 is for more aggression within the opponents/Bosses A.I. behavior.

The drop rate for sea monsters like crab in Fontaine also bad

I think everyone can agree that Arnold "yapping" is very justify Because he loves the game, both lore and gameplay and he wants to see the game becomes even better So all of his "yapping" are very justify

Your complaint about the Cliffhanger commissions hit hard. It took me almost 3 years to finish that one off. I still haven't gotten the Snezhnaya merchant achievement from Mondstadt despite playing since week 1 and even had my region set as Mondstadt for 7 months last year. I changed it to random in December after I got tired of doing the same 10 quests over and over.

Omg thankyou!!!, there are times where you kill like 6 nobushis and you obtain one drop!, that was very annoying

The weapon and element recommendations for quests could actually be very useful. I believe it was the Caribert quest where a friend of mine used Ayaka freeze team, but you had to fight a cryo abyss herald in it. Sooo yea, she could have used that recommendation

Not being able to do any weekly quests and bounties when your reputation is max in a certain region is horrible as that was free 150k mora per week. What a joke from hoyo no one asked for this. 1 million mora is not even 7 weeks worth. Horrible change

Devs team have to work for 8-10 patches in advance, thats why qols take so much time to add

For me this is awesome as a person now that has started to lvl my roster after IT came out otherwise i had only 8 chars max lvl and use them for everything farming gonna be so much better. DAMN YOU SPECTERS :)

0:05 can we shout out to the artist who made this smiling paimon?this is way too cute,happy,and full with happiness. I can see that the dev team is happy to create the teyvat world and this smiling paimon is the prove.

Im someone whose level was okay for this world level. I mean yeah regular monsters were certainly lower and they get challenging more so when they put a lot of them in one go. Local legends were certainly above but they were a relatively fun challenge. The thing that saddwns me a little is that world bosses were very much at my level, for the most part they did last an acceptable amount for me so now that theyll get crazier Im a bit sad for that ngl. Better drops is obviously appreciated but ultimately the grind issue for me still is artifacts. I dont rush any farming for everything else because I know I spend more time with the artifacts anyway even when Im someone who levels 90 their characters and doesnt go for the craziest artifacts. I just hope they keep improving the artifact experience bc there's a long way to go imo. Also Im surprised you dont use the strongbox😮 I dont use them like super super often but if I happen to farm an old domain Im 100% using the strongbox as well, yes its still gambling but objectively speaking those are better chances

11:37 Can confirm that to go from AR58 to AR59 is 312K...I just now leveled up a couple of days ago and it took FOREVER 😒

The drop rates for those mobs were bad yeah, I get being angry over that, but being miffed that increased it because its only now once your done farming it, is a bit weird to me. MMO's tend to give you a ton of shortcuts for the old content so grinding it takes less time for new players so you can catch up and get to the current grind faster. This just feels pretty much the same. It was meant to be a slow grind when it came out, which sucks, but its clear that was the intention. They also clearly changed the way they think about the drop rates, since as you mention yourself, later nations dont have this issue. So them fixing these drops to be uniform with other mobs sounds like a solid QOL. Yeah it took 2 years, but they started with the big QOL updates only in fontaine, and well, I don't think inazuma drops were a big problem for them in 4.X Also, I don't get the other example given, them making achievements easier to get doesn't mean that the original system was bugged or broken. It just literally means they wanted it to be a bit easier? Improving something doesn't mean it wasn't as intentioned before. I dunno, it just feels like there is a lot of confusing systems that were bad with broken here. those were bad or kinda just meh systems, not bugged and broken.. I think the QOLS here are really great and I'm happy with them, cant wait to play 5.0. So I don't get a lot of the "too late" and "I guess better late then never right?" comments, since its clear those QOLS are coming because we are long done with inazuma, and they are there to help players get through inazuma grinding faster and they still will affect us all to some extent whether your new or old for the rest of the games existence, but maybe that's just me being happy that the game is continuing its big improvements ever since 4.0. Fontaine to me was really the golden age of genshin so far, and it seems like Natlan will continue that. I mean just WL9 is fantastic.

The map pin limit will be increased to 1000 before they add new options of pins 🤦🏽‍♂️

19:53 It's actually the opposite problem for me. Every birthday message includes a specialty dish of a character, even the one I don't own, so I would be super upset if I spent the one specialty dish of a character I don't own, so I'm thankful that Hoyoverse adressed that

👍

Traveler lvl 100

Ugh the painful days of hunting nobushi, kairagi and specter...it was literally traumatizing that I don't wanna look at them anymore. Like, just go away, I don't even wanna see a single line of shadow, hear a tiny grunt of voice or smell a drop of sweat from them or istg I'll go crazy.

im just waiting for the new strongbox artifacts🤙

I agree with you. A lot of these updates should have been done 2-3 ears ago

I still have characters and weapons that use specter drops, I sooooo need that drop rate upgrade AR60 player here

Whats that ost from the start? I totally forgot the name and its making me ascend
