to be able to play previous abyss cycles, it can have reduced primogem reward but would still give a lot of primogem considering there are a lot of abyss cycles since 1.0, also since most abyss cycles revolve around specific banner characters and their elements to be able to play those previous cycles would give players a reason to build characters from different elements and encourage to players to build different team comps.

I'm looking forward to the c6 Bennett video. I used to be a little scared of activating it and kept him c5 for such a long time, especially because I have Eula. A while ago I just randomly decided to unlock it and did it. No regrets at all. Rosaria works just fine with Eula instead and my Eula is kinda benched anyways. There aren't really any other teams where he can destroy something and literally everytime I feel that he's c6 in gameplay, it's a good thing. So many doors opened up, so many new fun teams comps like Thundering Furry and a stronger Xiangling etc. It's amazing. Edit: After activating his c6 it was the first time I managed to VV double swirl with Kazuha in Ayato national since the infused NA is a third way of independent pyro icd on him :) (still difficult tho)

[@baguette_connoisseur]

A year of Spiral Abyss gives you a free 5* character. A free Nahida, or Raiden, or Kazuha. Not bad, in my opinion. Most players do NOT do the Spiral Abyss. That's why the rewards aren't the highest.

I understand the keeping of event quests that have important lore for characters and stuff.

[@poppyseed1058]

I know the traveler’s supposed to serve as a self-insert but I think the travelers lines not being voiced majorly takes away from their characterization and my investment in the story. The traveler doesn’t feel like a character and I’m not convinced of their relationships with the characters we meet. I personally feel like not hearing them removes them from the narrative and how important I consider their dialogue and dynamics.

[@GenerationIcarus]

yeah I felt that way too, but I got even more confused because the traveler does have voiced dialogue when you look at their profile. It builds character for the traveler, but hoyo refuses to actually use it? There’s genuinely funny and heartfelt voice lines between Aether and Paimon, it’s just frustrating seeing that go to waste.

[@mcgeiler3915]

It also doesn't help that dialog options make ZERO difference

[@underdrow5572]

Here's the thing, Traveler's not a self-insert. He was probly designed to be one to begin with, but has since developed his own personality. Not to mention that 90% if the time the two dialogue options are just one sentence split in two to give the illusion it's two seperate sentences, the only thing we're doing is directing his sass and sarcasm.

[@sinycath]

This was a great video idea! I know you prefer doing guides and are more into combat, but I think these type of videos really suit you as well, because people want to know your opinion :)

[@Nowaylarry]

Hot Take; Resin is mostly fine as it is. It was rather restrictive when the game launched but at this point you can grind to AR30 in a day due to the sheer number of chests, waypoints, world quests, etc. By the time you reach AR45 and start the artifact grind you will likely have between 55-60 fragile resin to blow on artifacts (provided you don't waste them before that). The only way resin really feels overly restrictive at this point is if you are building several character at once late game. The only change I would make to the system is removing the resin cost of weekly bosses since they are already time gated.

[@panik28]

That would be a good fix for weekly bosses tbh. You are right I barely started the game, so having to build a team with 160 resin a day is annoying but once the team is built I'm sure 160 won't be that much of a big deal.

[@lorijones8147]

Hot Take- coming from someone who just got into gaming at 50 years old (2 years go) and this is my first Computer game and my second RPG (behind Breath of the wild) Genshin needs a tutorial. The small snippets you get alone the way do not help a new player to understand the full picture. Perhaps it is my lack of skills and knowledge, but to have an optional tutorial to understand how to build characters (in a whole pitcure) and what each of the items like artifacts do would be great. Now that I have no content, I run into a lot of level 40+ that just figured the artifacts out. Had one yesterday. Level 48 and didnt understand that there were sets of artifacts and how they work. It is really needed because many people get to higher levels before actually putting all the build peices into a full puzzle and see the whole pitcure. My issue was I started watching you Mtashed and you were talking over my head.. so were all the current videos on Genshin. Genshin shouldnt depend on content creators to explain the game..

[@skywalker4878]

They should add weapon trade system between friends like if we receive traded weapon from someone we can use it approximately at least 1 week and for safe and security the system should be like we can't block unfriend or anything to that friend until we return their weapon or else it'll return by itself in one week . I hope it's a cool feature

[@liwendiamond9223]

Here's my hot take, and I think it's a hot take because it goes directly against one of the "hot takes" in this video that everyone agrees with : Exploration is still King of all content in Genshin, it keeps getting better and better with every new zone, and it's the reason I keep coming back. The big voiceless region quests are the best ones because they combine the novelty of exploring a massive brand new area with stories about ordinary relatable people. In a world filled with super-powered invincible playable characters, these quests are the only ones to bring actual stakes. They make you invested in the lives of characters that can actually die or suffer a fate worst than death itself. Spoiler alert for the Sumeru Desert quests : Jeth and Jebrael are probably my favorite characters introduced in Genshin Impact this year, and Jebrael's sacrifice brought me to tears in a way few of the mainline quests ever could, because it was an actual sacrifice. He did his duty as a father, then fucking died. Forever. (well most probably forever. You never know, it's fantasy after all.) Unlike say Scaramouche who tried to die, but couldn't, even though he probably ought to have died. It's been 3 years and Hoyoverse has yet to pull anything close to a Himeko in the mainline Genshin story, and so the voiceless side quests have become the meat of the game for me. Also, pretty much all of the deep lore in the game is found through these quests and through exploration of the nooks and crannies in every new zone. As a lore nerd, obtaining Before Sun and Moon in Enkanomiya was a far greater and meaningful reward than a 40+% crit value artifact, or a Staff of Homa, or even my luckiest 10-pull of all time when I got 2 Yoimiyas at 0 pity the day she first released. I can clear content no problem. I don't even need to grind anymore. I just want good stories and lore.

[@ThecatThecat-hq1op]

This is true, and it's honestly my biggest reason to play the game. I personally enjoy wandering around the world the most in genshin. What I think a lot of people get wrong with the "puzzles" is that they both aren't mandatory, and aren't supposed to be hard. I think they best serve as little distractions for you while you're on your way to the next quest point. I don't think they were something meant to be grinded (but since they provide primos they end up being grinded). While it's my favorite part, I think it still heavily suffers from the movement/glider systems. Gliding around feels incredibly stiff since you can't move around very freely in the air and you don't preserve your momentum when you put your glider away (I actually quit the game at launch because of this, and only came back a year later). It's also a bummer that there are no alternatives to running when you are on a flat area, like a mount, since running out of stamina feels incredibly slow (I don't think being able to move without restriction should be locked behind a character like sayu). It really annoys me that the environmental music gets interrupted by combat music whenever you even get close to an enemy because it always removes me from my immersion. Climbing is also extremely slow and painful (less now with the sumaru wall fruits). But my number 1 gripe still has to be the glider. But I can't disagree with you that exploration has been getting so much better. Sumaru has been an amazing experience so far. I do agree with you kind of, I personally enjoy the archon quests just as much as some of the side content. The area where I disagree is that I think the long form side-quests should be voiced since when I game I look to relax, but reading what they say can be a little tiring, especially if the character is going off about something (not that I think this is bad, it's just tiring). I'm someone who reads a lot of books as well, so I can only imagine how others who do it less than me must feel. One critique I have for the side story quests is that the characters they revolve around can sometimes be very visually bland. They don't have to go crazy with it since they aren't playable, but I would like it if a recurring character wouldn't have clothes that are just a texture on the skin mesh while also looking similar to all other NPCs as well. Glad there is someone else with a somewhat similar mindset to me as well. I hope you also see the issue with the glider, because no one talks about it other than me and it makes me sad.

[@liwendiamond9223]

@@ThecatThecat-hq1op Definitely agree with you that the side quests should be voiced. I get that audio takes a lot of memory space and they want to save some for phone users, and that's also a convenient excuse not to hire VAs for those long quests. When I said I prefer the voiceless quests, I meant to say these are the best quests in spite of being voiceless. And yes, those important NPCs could use some better designs. This is another way Hoyoverse likes to cut corners. As for the glider, my only real gripe with it is that it doesn't behave like a real paraglider. If you've ever experienced using one or at least seen some videos of that particular sport, then you know what I mean. Real paragliding has a lot of forward momentum to it. (It is, in fact, MUCH FASTER than running around, as Venti so often reminds me.) You can dive to gain speed, pull back your wings to regain some altitude and slow down, and yes, conserve most of your momentum by turning in wide arcs. The glider in Genshin doesn't behave anywhere near the real thing. It feels more like a parachute. It's still convenient to use situationally, but I feel you on the wasted potential. I mean just imagine taking a plunge from the top of the nail in Dragonspine with real paragliding mechanics. From that altitude, you could conceivably touch down in either Mondstatd City or Liyue Harbor within a couple minutes. And what a ride it would be!

This was something I thought about with the recent Warrior's Spirit event. It would probably require a lot of tweaking and changes for enemies, as well as nerfs and limitations for players, but imagine if the parry and honed technique systems from that event were implemented into the game. Maybe even each character could have their own unique honed techniques that can create different results. Just like in a game like Metal Gear Rising, there could be tells that indicate if an attack can't be parried so it doesn't seem invincible.

[@xanasago]

Despite that they add so many things it feels more like the game is in maintenance mode. Since 2.0 I am disappointed that they don't do more. Imagine some gadgets would be passives like Seed Dispensary. Red Feather Fan as a context sensitive during flight. So that you can use these things without constantly going into the menu... - make food more useful. Feels like an abandoned system - more free form building in our tea pot. If I want to stack everything in each other. LET ME! - Why does it need so many cameras? How often did you use the wrong camera because you didn't pay attention? - Treasure compass. Make it one with upgrades for the new region. - Lyres can be context sensitive... Why don't we have a combat arena with rogue lite elements as a constant gamemode? Improve on the events. Take a look at deep dungeon in FFXIV. Add puzzles and elements to the core concept of level design. Add crossroads with different routes through the dungeon. Random enemies, make decisions in the moment. Why do we have so many challenges/puzzles that are just run forward without any sort of puzzle or challenge. Just click and run... The list goes on for years [/rant]

[@novyknec1113]

Genshin players don't realize that genshin as a mobile game is different from other mobile games of the same genre. Which is why they like to complaint about the smallest details in the game, ignoring that their product is very good for a free mobile game with a long term goal. The "dry-patches" are a way to keep the space of the game balanced and give more time to the developers to work on the big regions that are coming next. Other mobile gacha games or mobile games with micro transactions don't need that, because most of their "content" are just reskins events from previous ones with a very straightforward reward system, you farm those stages multiple times to get the rewards. I'd like to see how other companies that are trying to compete with genshin would make their game feel significantly better than genshin, which I highly doubt since the art/environment/music in genshin is most likely unbeatable.

[@ThecatThecat-hq1op]

This is something I've been saying. I always found is dumb to complain about a game not having enough content while it's actively being updated. Though, on the contrary to your other point, I think that the game being as good as it is is the reason we should critique it more. The other bad mobile games just aren't worth the time unless you're friends with the dev or something. This game is so good though that it's only natural to want to see it improve. I'll admit that some people get a little too emotionally involved in those critiques though.

I'd say add limited weapons to either the purchased Battle Pass selections or in the shop like outfits. At least the BP method could at least make it feel refreshing since it hasn't really changed since launch (outside of talent materials).

[@ahrisse6528]

My hot take is that there are a lot of good stories in Genshin that get ruined due to long incomprehensible dialogues that can be somehow compressed to make them short and sweet but they chose not to. Lol.

[@wish1333]

jeht quest should be voiced too these world quests are so awesome

[@HoYoNinety]

Tbh I REAAAALLY want more of this from you mtashed, like i understand you are more of a grinder but its just SO INTERESTING when someone like you dives in some topics which arent only about gameplay and so on ... Good One! Keep it up! Hope something like this comes soon again! Also tbh my hot take: Resin is more valuable than primogems after a certain point in the game. Listen - most likely some people will agree but I wanna go more towards the side why its the primogems fault and how we even have ENOUGH PRIMOGEMS even though hoyoverse could be more generous towards us. In my opinion - you can disagree - you are given enough time to plan and get into the rythm of farming and planing for characters in terms of primogems - they always come back, the time gap to wait for them is big yes but that means you have more time to save up and also if you see the released permanent content in the game and you do all the events each patch and are playing daily (where at some point your needed time effort just WILL DECREASE!) for like 20-30min you will get your 50-70 wishes (depending on patch) for each patch. Considering this is a f2p game with a really high quality that almost equals one guaranteed character every 2 patches without a welkin moon or battlepass and while SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE CAN VARY (!!!) I for myself have quite a lot of that because I play my main acc as a dolphin and have 3 f2p accounts all on AR59 and in the sum i have all obtainable characters, some 5 star constellations and even some dupes across the accounts. To sum it up - please keep in mind that this is still my subjective experience and opinion - even tho they could be more generous: if you consider planing and the timegates of the game it is more than just playable as a F2P getting a lot of good stuff so that the only progress hindering ressource is the resin, we have enough primogem incomes.

[@MrDekasOne]

While I agree that the long story quest should be voiced keep in mind how much dialogue is In those quest and that it would all need to be recorded in each of the languages the game voiced in and availability of voice actors, doing so would probably take a long time and cause updates to be further appart it's one of those thing I want but understand why they don't

[@johnmac8805]

Maybe they should clean up their writing then. Seriously. Talking to some npcs is like having them recite Shakespeare. But as understood by a 5 year old.

[@abieborja558]

HOT TAKE: I hate how majority of the people disregard Inazuma and Enkanomiya after Sumeru came out. I enjoyed my time in Inazuma, especially with its hidden quests and long quest chains (far longer than Sumeru due to most of them being time-gated). Not only that, but it also had dark lore and secrets that made me feel a bit scared while exploring through different islands. Like, did everyone forget about Tsurumi Island? That one quest with the fox-masked shrine maiden? Oh! Not a lot of people know this, but there's a hidden long quest chain that relates to the shrine maiden who sends out fortune slips. It has one of the best story and lore by far, even hinting to one of the Fatui Harbingers.

[@hido...]

What’s the quest chain for the shrine maiden fortune slips?

[@abieborja558]

@@hido... It's quite complicated to get that quest. I was able to find out about it on a Twitter thread. I had to follow the steps in some article on how to start it. If you want to try it for yourself, you can look it up. The name of the quest is, "The Very Special Fortune Slip."

[@jonathan0225]

Oh! I finally get what you're saying abt hyperbloom, it does devalues to some extent. The way i see it, it's still the classic Hoyo approach on abyss and they tailor the bonus based on the most recent banner releases, nothing much changed on that end.

[@hido...]

They need to make old events playable via the keys to unlock character stories. I missed out some events that I really regret not playing.

[@kyleo8688]

Please make more of the Mtashed! Also, please do build reviews or even roast people builds. Hahahaha I'm sure people would still love to showcase their builds even though many other CCs already do so. Heck you can even do a wacky build competition/showcase and i'd watch that

[@ThecatThecat-hq1op]

I saw some great KZbin videos back in the day where the KZbin and 4 friends had a competition to build amber then they did pvp at the end of it by lightning each other on fire haha. I'd love to see stuff like that from some of these KZbinrs who do more critical stuff on the game. It's a nice way to relax and have fun with it even though it's not intended :3

[@iendlegends4879]

Hot take:abyss should add more floors and require 3 teams to clear, that way you are forced to build more units.

[@susbedo9258]

That's not a hot take. That's a popular opinion

[@TinyyTato]

That's not a hot take

[@iendlegends4879]

You'd be surprised how many people dislike the abyss in terms of difficulty

[@Nerdslayer0]

Hot take: Some people will hate hearing this but people need to stop spending money on their favourite characters if they aren't happy with their kits. If you genuinely understand that mhyo has done a crappy, lazy job of designing a character kit then you should speak with your money. In fact, there's a lot of unhappy players that need to straight up quit, or at least take a break until they enjoy the game again

[@Zipperl1]

You what would be insane, if they brought back every banner for the anniversary letting you choose what character you want. Also if they took all of the standard banner 5 stars off the event wishes, making it a guarantee for the character you want.

[@WujekDefciu]

They should do a separate quests line with backstory of characters so we can know them better instead of wasting my time on debate in Nilou quest between angry unsuccessful asian dad vs rebelious daughter for example because its a total joke...

[@evang.4022]

Albedo's story quest should've been a drawn out event and his events should have been two story quests

[@stephanthomas481]

4:58 | You are right xd, i dont think i've ever seen eula's rerun banner ever!

[@menarg1549]

don't know if it's a "hot" take but here goes I like all the parts of this game, i like the story, i like the sidequests, the combat, the silly date quests, maybe not the tcg but whatever but there is no reason to do multiplayer in this game other than farming mushrroms, and that needs to change absolutely needs something at the level of spiral abyss atleast that you have to do in co op

[@hmsy2238]

Hot take: most genshin veterans will probably eventually quit or play significantly less if the game continues to go on the way it is right now

[@aqvanii]

I think that happene with every game though. You'll eventually grow tired of it.

[@this19suffering]

Fav Weapons should be in the Starglitter Shop or given out in Quests (like the Bow). They are super important for every Account.

[@JA-og1dx]

wow you have my respect after this at minute 9:00 not many would resist temptation

[@drowsy6744]

Hoyoverse should definitely buff or nerf characters like league does, to keep all the characters in the same power level. So everybody can play their favorite character without worrying about the meta.

[@conner7586]

I’ve lost 12 50’50s in a row excluding weapon banner. It’s actually a joke, how’s it even possible. I save save save and feel like I’m getting punished for it

[@mafimok]

There is no "bad" character in the game. Since that gamespot endgame article came out, I realized that I could basically use any of the characters and finish the supposedly "hardest" content of the game, spiral abyss. Only thing left is how fast a character can reach that potential to do spiral abyss. Thats when META comes in, its just efficiency.

[@seamountain5]

9:46 that is exactly the reason I come here for genshin stuff because you’ll tell it like it is

[@JH-pj8nw]

You're the only content creator that I've found that can give criticism without coming off like an egotistical piece of trash human being. You keep it fun. I appreciate you for it.

[@jardelelias5625]

(2:04) All the latest story quests share this problem. It's you and the character solving someone else's problem. And I could not care less about that someone else. Klee is still my reference of what a story quest should be, because at least it's about Klee.

[@iftekarhossain686]

Hot Take: this is not about the game, it's more about the content creators. Its been established that this game is easy and any character can help you beat the game, so when every KZbinr and twitch streamer is using the Ganyus and the Hu Taos, I'm ngl it gets quite boring, I'd really like to see niche characters get used, heizou's a good example.

[@HendriS_1707]

Problem with Genshin is that there's only 1 way of getting primogems without paying, that is by doing the dailies and quests (which can't be repeated). My other gacha game, which is "DanMachi: Memoria Freese" , gives out crystals in a lot of ways as well as much cheaper gacha requirement. I can get crystal from doing dailies, leveling up characters, leveling up character's affinity, doing daily and weekly challenges, etc. And it only costs me 40 crystals per pull (or 400 per 10 pulls), and it gives guaranteed 5 star ever 30 pulls contrary to Genshin's 90.

[@ThecatThecat-hq1op]

They should open source the game after they finish it so we can add mods. Would be nice to just fix this stuff myself but I can't. First thing I'd fix would be the glider, then I'd cut some of paimon's duologue. Maybe even voice act the traveler myself (hire out lumine). I'd add a mount system, add in some missing animations, then work on a long term "rogue-like artifact/abyss" project. So many things I want to do to this game.

[@jimmygoodson]

Enjoyed the video. No matter how much Genshin hate videos I watch, I just can't seem to get enough. Not that this is necessarily a hate video, more like a genuine critique which I appreciate you for giving your honest opinions about the game and not being a Mihoyo fan boy. It is so frustrating liking this game just enough to care about it but simultaneously knowing it will never be what I want it to be. So many systems could be improved but they won't be. Playing the game at all just seems like such a huge drag. As soon as I get into one of these long dialogue sequences, I just feel like I'm wasting my time. Even the unskippable dialogue for the commissions I've done a million times I don't want to sit through. I got Cyno on my account and still have yet to do the Raiden Shogun story quest so I can unlock her as a weekly boss, which I need to do if I want to advance Cyno's skills. I just can't bring myself to even start it because I know how long it is and it is so daunting.

I definetly play the game way differently then i used to keep it casual and just playing it time from time really increased my enjoyment for the game. Treating it as a i play whenever cuz everything is easy i like that play style alot maybe not for many but i sure as hell like it.

[@demestriu529]

nice vid bro. showing your experience with the game and your honest opinion without sounding negative, just real.

[@seanhird6464]

I played Raid for almost 3 years. Plarium is NOT more generous than Mihoyo, in any way, shape or form.

[@pjwave9026]

I've played since aug 22 and they actually added the itto yelan kuki Xiao event quest as a regular, permanent quest and i can't tell which other event storylines have been added, but just know they did it at least once lol

[@Grace_2404]

I mean that is an archon quest bro lol

[@Doxsein]

Dude Michael your content has been popping off lately, I've been loving it. And OMG I don't care about Dunyarzad too lol.. Edit: also my hot take: I dislike Bennett and Xingqiu a lot.

[@kris-p-4365]

it would be interesting to see characters come out without visions, physical damage only, and to see what physical only resonance would be

[@odinmandu2184]

About the phone take: The current size of Genshin on Mobile is about 20 gigs, that's almost half my PC version, I don't think the missing long term events are present because of mobile limitations, I want to believe they're saving the long term events for when they've released every region

[@baguette_connoisseur]

20 gigs is nothing. They could easily increase it

[@nazarkintsak9987]

besides Genshin, I’ve been playing 7DS Grand Cross for over a year. dude, I have so much more fun there STILL to this day. you have a tooon of characters to experiment with, constant grind of different in-game currencies, and the game is really generous for F2P players, you can easily get a festival event character every single time. the game is from Netmarble, they’re releasing a very similar to genshin game this year which is 7DS Origins, it’s open world as well. I really hope for this game to boom fast enough to collapse Hoyoverse’s over confidence in having the best game ever so that they start being a bit more thoughtful of what they introduce into the game. it needs more content for those who’ve been playing since its release given there’s noothing to do besides the boring daily grind. don’t come at me if you don’t agree, I just think we need a new cool open-world gacha game to crush genshin at least a bit because for the time being they seem to have a monopoly for this type of games, hence imagine themselves as kings of the world. that’s it

[@69randomgaming]

i've been playing genshin on "Mobile" for over 2 years and got Ganyu on her first banner as my first 5 star chara and since then i love using her. I have never felt like it's difficult to use any bow chara on mobile because none of the bow chara need to aim perfectly to deal dmg, even for Ganyu u can just aim anywhere near the enemy and the bloom dmg will kill the enemy. if you think about it all the bow chara except ganyu either deal dmg by there skill, burst or normal atk, for which u don't need to aim.

[@ChanCassiMeowMix]

I think we should be able to get event weapons. The weaponsmith could sell them. There's no reason why there shouldn't be a way to require them after the event ends. Hell, you can buy event gadgets from the souvenir shops, even the gadgets that literally do nothing because the event isn't active. I'm looking at you first Golden Apple Archipelago gadget...

[@ShiBaNiS]

And then we have a useless developer notes that once every year... Where they make their own questions and answer them 💀

[@FlashAF]

17:02 I can't agree more with that comment. The sand region looks gorgeus but exploring it all with the same sh*t for pennys is just not motivating and also not worth my time granted I have any since I got other things irl I gotta take care of

[@greilsmercenary240]

They should make a standard banner for each Region, this would also help with new players, that can wish on charecters when they play the region and can farm their materials

[@deathbyxenon6082]

On the storage issue, how come mihoyo's other game Honkai Impact 3rd can be stored on SD cards while Genshin cannot? If they're scared about beta players tampering and leaking files then have the beta players store it on internal storage while those on the official release may have the option to store it on sd cards albeit on faster sdxc. And it's not like there's no other way to leak GI betas no matter how hard hoyo tries. I mean pc can run actual games just on sd card storage why not GI

[@deathbyxenon6082]

@Maki I think it's up to the developers for that especially for optimization. Honkai has the option for you to have game files stored in SD cards. It will be a big problem once the game reaches like 100gb plus on mobile. they'll probably do it in the future knowing they'll lose a huge chunk of the market especially in East Asia And SEA markets where budget phones with limited storage are king and when i mean limited storage the minimum is already 64 gb for budget phones. Google already did adoptable storage on android where in when you setup your phone for the 1st time you have the option to set your sd card as internal storage for apps.They weirdly removed that on android 11 and forward.

[@artbernal8598]

I am 100% "Genshin Impact" I love most of the content and everything, including the downside of the game, there is a "good" in accepting "negative ones" and there is a "bad" or maybe "worst" if we only relied on "positive ones" there is a balance for everything and that is the truth. That's why i love this channel.

[@ThecatThecat-hq1op]

I think a lot of the people here and in the comments love the game (or despise it) since they are spending so much time thinking about it. Recommending improvements is a form of showing love. :3 That being said, I would love it more if the glider system wasn't so stiff xD

[@Pelfmiester]

I'm a C3 Ayaka main and I wouldn't wear her outfit if they gave it for free and Jean's is just as bad. Keqing, Diluc, and the 4 star character skins are all pretty good though, with Keqing, Diluc, Barbara, and Ningguang being improvements, and Fischl and Lisa being equivalent alternatives.

[@aqgaming1092]

I agree. Ayaka's new outfit was not appealing imo.
