How Mihoyo is Ruining Genshin Impact

[@anontob]

As an AR 56 this rlly explains how endgame players feel. The characters, story quests, and gameplay is rlly fun, but the content burnout jus ruins the game. Ive gone thru weeks of jus grinding artifacts and it feels like a neverending loop. If i like a character i ofc love raising them, so I can use em more, but the artifacts system is mostly frusturating, sometimes fulfilling.

[@idonotpost1456]

i think its better to just wait for the game to be actually complete, and then playing it so you can have so many new content :/

[@chrisliu805]

Miho-Scam get your money and don't want to work, that's All there is to it, They get your money and wanna counting money on their bed, and don't wanna work on more 4 star characters or create more stories for the game, and you the player, have to promote for Hoyo-Scam, in order to have a "chance" to get not even 1 pull, and miho-scam can get your promotion and your art for free! please make this evil company go bankrupt!

You just put almost all the problems I have with this game in a video. All that potential wasted due to the greed of Mihoyo and the people who enable it.

[@bluebenadryl5513]

Greed? They give hundreds of primos in every event they host and events are going on MOST of the time. With 2-3 happening at the sametime for you to earn primos, talent level up material, exp, etc. They're not stingy, You're just greedy. Furthermore, 5 star character that you WANT are a privelege to get in game. They are not needed to beat the game nor to get around easy as many 4 stars have been proven to due crazy damage when leveled correctly.

[@bluebenadryl5513]

@Black Star normie? Is that supposed to be an insult? Seems more like a compliment to me. And saying something like "you enable it" without any evidence or reasoning is a terrible argument.

[@somedude1392]

@@bluebenadryl5513 hundreds of primos are barely worth anything. To get a 5 star people often have to get to max pity (90 pulls = 14.400 primos), due to the insanely low drop rates. 100 primos is barely a scratch on the surface. To get a guaranteed 5 star I'd have to spend 252,97€ (that's $298,5). And then there's still (only) a 50/50 chance to get the 5 star you want. It baffles me how you can defend a publisher and not say they're greedy when they want you to give them $300 for a character. On top of that they barely listen to the complaints/needs of their playerbase (they only act when it gets really extreme). I simply cannot understand how you can defend something like this.

[@bluebenadryl5513]

@@somedude1392 Youre entitled to your opinion but I already addressed the issue you just mentioned and i dont feel like retyping so just scroll up and read it if you want.

[@somedude1392]

@@bluebenadryl5513 that was actually the comment I replied to. Even with 2-3 events you'd get about 300 from each, leaving you at about 900 primos. 900 is indeed nothing to disregard, but is still a far cry from a singe 10 pull. This is something a am a bit salty about, but nothing major. I get that you should save up and pull only for the character you want. Easy access to every 5 star is not what I want. But still, If we assume that you get 900 primos every month from events and 60 every day from daily commissions, you would still need 152 days (5 months) worth of daily rewards to get a guaranteed 5 star. That is ridiculous. It really wouldn't hurt them to increase the drop chance of 5 stars or increase the amount of primos you get per day. But that isn't my main problem with this game. The main problem is the resin system. As you said, beating the game with 4 star characters is more than just possible. But for that you still need good artifacts, and THOSE are the real problem. They bring so much rng with them that getting even a decent one can take months or even a year if you're really unlucky. And that is because you can collect aritifacts 8 times a day max due to resin. Every aspect of this game is meant to frustrate and push you towards spending money. This game has so much potential and is honestly really fun, but seeing this blatant greed of mihoyo has me concerned for the games' future.

[@mep1455]

I'm happy I quit. Pulling for the character should be the hardest part of the character as the artefacts and mats needed are a waste of time and they don't respect your time as well.

[@Dante999000]

You and me mate, cause of how low the rates are when compared to azur lane or the like.

[@I.M.T.S]

Very nicely done. This deserves much more views than it currently has. The more people acknowledge the fault with Genshin the higher the chances of Mihoyo doing something to address it. Imo fanboys are never good for the longevity of a game. If there is things to criticize one should complain otherwise developers would stay complacent until its too late. My main game was Destiny, over there I saw fanboys defending devs wrong decision until situation was so dire that major PR was necessary to just stop the game from dying. Currently I am hoping Blue Protocol will be successful and will give Mihoyo run for their money. Mihoyo is abusing their player base because they don't have competition, when you end up having to spend money for a character you realize how unreasonably expensive this game is and currently the game don't have much to offer other than the beautifully designed characters.

[@Notmainchannel1]

I started September 2020, the day of launch and have been playinf religiously every day. I played it cause I hated my life, it was escapism and I hated being awake and living and it was like a distraction. I would play 10 hours a day. Eventually in November 2020, i would lower that to 6 hours and it gradually and gradually get lower as I reached end game. I would sometimes even log in just to explore the world nothing else just to escape my life. In January though I would play like an hour a day or maybe 2. Logging in felt like a chore, I hated the game and it just felt so sad, the only thing that made me happy doesnt anymore and me logging in felt just useless and the feeling of completing a chore like game every day was not it. At march 2021, I quit genshin, I said enough is enough. It felt horrible, I got depression and even though I had it before, genshin was not there to like numb it down. Ever task like doing homework or anything simple felt so fucking painful. This lifestyle carried on until october 2021. I actually fell into thr rabbithole of philosophy, i quickly understood what life meant to me, I found a purpose and started doing my work and homework without complaint. I started going to the gym every day and I started making my life more meaningful. I realized that I dont need an external factor to make my life meaningful. Its all in the way I think and act. And if I dont like that I always have the power to change it. Im still having small urges to go back to genshin but Im staying on my self improvement journey. Thanks for reading, I felt like sharing.

yeah the end game lacks content but the fix is not to make it cancerous and make abyss floors and events harder .the fix is simply more content . its a gacha game after all where people wanna get characters and when they dont have enough to try their luck the game starts feeling not rewarding enough for them to play .i feel like the abyss reset must include way more floors , with the option of spending resin to buy buffs or lower the diffuclty for some floors . this will make it fair for endgame players who will be able to clear the floors with no need for buffs and give new players or mid game players a chance to get rewards too at the expense of using resin .the issue im having is that with how low the rates are , we should be at least able to get 40 wishes before every single banner .this wont stop the whales from spending money since u ll still need to pay for constellations to max out ur character and weapon and will give a chance to f2p players to try their luck on the banner with a descent chance to get the featured character .other than that , its not worth it . mihoyo is still greedy and scared of giving more freebies and focus more on characters as their core products when they can just make skins and pets and other cosmetic stuff that will generate shit tons of money if priced reasonably .

I hit AR55 in three months. Kinda rushed it so that I can be par levels with friends and family. It was fun playing upto AR45, and when all quests are done, and said for, whats left are just grinding. Now I slowed down alot, and not even doing new archon quests, as it will be short lived, and nothing to do there after, so kinda savoring it. I completely agree with author of video. This game sucks. Resins are very limiting, artifacts are crazy hard to get, and repetitive boring dungeon fight events, are taking fun out of game. Now, I don't even care if I get new character, because of grinds involved in raising their stats and artifacts. Spent around $30 for welker moon and bp package few times to accelerate leveling, but never again. When friends and family quits, I am gone. Genshin has pretty eye candy, but thats about it. Game mechanics are shit. eidt: Did I mention juvenile story line? Its like watching Chinese movies. Lacks depth.

We either need a way to cut RNG on artifact farming or better ways to recycle trash artifacts. I.e, for 40 resin you get one artifact but it's either the specific slot or set you're farming for, or converting trash artifacts into 7-10 resin each. Multiple times I've spent my entire limit of resin to get only one drop from the set I wanted or only flowers and feathers across either set. I have nearly 4 times as many of the Clam set than the Husk set, and only 4 5-star hydro pieces across everything I've ever gotten.

And since there are gonna be like 7 big areas in total, Genshin will be a really big game to play, it’s already pretty big and great tho. I hope when the service is completed, they keep the games servers up for a bit while they work on overhauling and reworking Genshin into a premium game (pay 60 bucks or smth for the entire game with no micro transactions), they could rework the gacha system into one like xenoblade 2’s, or get rid of it altogether and chars will be obtained by finishing their story quests

This is a very flawed argument. I play 2 hours a day at the most and even I can clear all the content of a new patch in under 2 weeks. Are you seriously suggesting that we the players have to artificially extend the game's play time just to compensate for mihoyo's lack of permanent and re-playable content? Even with the quests combined, the content per patch is 30-35 hours of real time gameplay at the most, and that's being generous. It is unreasonable to expect the players to ration those 30-35 hours of realtime gameplay and stretch it for a MONTH. That's like telling a man dying of thirst to ration a cup of water in the middle of a desert.

Genshin Impact is an RPG. Farming for weapons, artifacts, etc are crucial to RPG's. World exploration and side quests are meant to build immersion as well. As far as their gacha rates I do agree to some extent it could use some tweaking but you don't NEED more characters to finish the game. 5 star characters are nice to have but they aren't NEEDED. The game spends months building regions, and focusing on the smaller things such as shadows, plants, and even putting together whole orchestras for background music. They put alot of effort into their game and while farming may not be fun for you it's what the game is built on as an RPG so if thats not for you then just delete it. As changing such a thing is the basis of the game. Opportunities to earn primos are given with every event with many events holding 2-3 at a time in which you can earn hundreds of primos. PLUS the spiral abyss and other surprise gifts and factors in the game.

[@gomi-san]

Bad game design should not be excused because "that's just the way it is." There are literally dozens of other gacha games and RPGs that have figured out how to make players enjoy farming. Most other Gacha games have auto-battle and skip tickets because they've realized that it's not fun to do the same repetitive task over and over again. You cannot seriously believe that killing the same 3 enemies, if not hundreds of times just to get more defense percent artifacts is somehow enjoyable or well designed. The artifact system is intentionally designed to be as toxic and player unfriendly as possible to artificially extend the length of time people play the game. My entire point is that Mihoyo's efforts would be better spent on building sustainable end game content that players actively enjoy doing rather than just (barely) tolerate.

[@bluebenadryl5513]
