What about the other versions?

Keeping you updated:



After 79 pulls, it's a bit late, I guess. The animations are really beautiful – you can just run around the world, chop bushes and trees, and enjoy it.

Also, I got a C6 Noelle. But Rosaria doesn't like me – she hasn't dropped at all since her first banner. And I got two Bennies – now I have about C20. It's a shame that you can't take two Chichis two Bennies (one C5, the other C6) into the Spiral Abyss.

Finally.



I messed up with Tsarevich once and I think I made a wrong choice once in “Winter’s Tale,” meaning each daily quest failed 4 times. Now, there are only four more daily quests left to do for Gloria with dandelions. Yes, those silly conversations with Hilichurls consistently drop every few days, but Gloria – only once in a year of playing.

By the way, the weapon banner is starting soon, and I've been waiting for it for a long time. A bow plus a two-handed weapon – there hasn't been anything like that since the Goat event. And, unfortunately, I was waiting for the release of Shenhe and spent some Primogems on the character banner. Now it will be difficult to get even 80, and 160 is completely unrealistic.

Yes, the weapon banner looks appealing, and I hope I manage to get a legendary item – both options are good and would be satisfactory. In the previous character banner, I spent all my pulls until the very end, but it scammed me – I got another +3 Noelle, 1 Bennett, and 2 weapons. Apparently, Rosaria doesn't exist in this game. The irregular "Shop of Despair" section is back. For the first time, I cleared all 4 floors completely with the same team, without Bennett and with almost no restarts (I only restarted once when I failed to match the Vishaps). ^ Arataki Itto, looking healthy (and well-healed). The Noelle team is just incredibly fun and convenient. I waited for 6 constellations for this girl for two years, and I wasn't disappointed. However, it causes problems in the open world and some domains with 110% energy recovery (more is needed, even considering Albedo), but the buffs and rooms with a large number of enemies save the day in the Spiral Abyss. Now I'll try with Eula – I think it will be more challenging.

Well done, Vish. You've got a knack for this. I've also made some progress. I can now clear the 11th floor of the last 2-3 abysses with 9 stars. I cleared it for the first time when there was still the "ghastly cube + pyro-cube" there, and it seemed to have two hydro-mimics. I haven't cleared the current one yet. I can't even get 3 stars on the first room of the 12th floor.

This is just a thread to keep everyone updated, right?



After 70 pulls on the weapon banner. I was hoping for a better sword for Noelle, but the bow might actually be more interesting – it’s more versatile; I can use it on Fischl, Sara, or even a goat character if one ever drops.

Also, they teased the fox character, and that’s the main reason I’m still playing Genshin. I’m skipping all the goat characters, the old man, and Shenhe; we’ll see how interesting she is gameplay-wise / whether she saves the electro element / or something else. The second reason is to wait for the best event in the game to be repeated (hide-and-seek). Otherwise, I’m getting pretty tired of it.

Also, the new skins (probably everyone has already seen them if they wanted to) are cool, especially on Ningguang. The thing is, Ningguang is a rather specific character in terms of gameplay, and that’s why she’s become boring to me. But it’s still fun to farm them for the collection.

I also got the celestial wing. I'm happy about it.

Today, miHoYo updated the terms of service. It's pretty harsh.

Besides the usual disclaimer that they aren't responsible for anything and that you have to check updates yourself, there are also all the tricks from recent years:

- you can't file a class action lawsuit (only an individual one)

- they aren't responsible for failing to remove offensive/inappropriate content

- they waive any rights to court decisions, except for monetary compensation, and the compensation shouldn't exceed the direct losses incurred in the 3 months before the complaint is filed

- they waive any moral rights and compensation for moral damages

- your personal data will be transferred to advertising service contractors

- your personal data will be stored outside your country (presumably specifically for Russia)

- all rights to your content are transferred to them free of charge and indefinitely

Yesterday, I was trying to get Shenhe, but on the 80th roll, I got Mona C3. Well, it looks like I'm going to end up without Shenhe and without the weapon.

Alas.

Looks like I ended up without Shenhe and without the goat.

That's a shame; those are key aspects of the game, although the goat is still enjoyable even without C1. But if you really want a consistent team, you could try rolling again – maybe you'll get lucky and get it before the pity. Although, I would save for a potential rerun of Ayaka, Kazuha, or the Shogun, who might be available in the next few months (if I didn't want Miko).
Actually, I've been thinking that I'd rather have rerun characters than new ones, and I'd like to roll for Ayaka's signature weapon – it's really powerful.

Also, I got a second Heavenly Blade from the standard banner. Probably the worst thing that could have dropped, along with the Heavenly Bow. I'm still thinking about it, but I'll probably refine it – there's no one to give the copy to.

Here's a little song on the topic (this time without swearing, but cringe is possible).

Yes, that’s what I always do; I keep rolling as long as I can to get good banners. And if it doesn’t work out, I skip to the next interesting set of five.

 

Right now, I’ve managed to roll 20 times for Shenhe, and there will be another 15 almost free rolls for the goat character, but 35 is very little.

And I don’t want to grind without a guarantee. For example, I have all the encounters unlocked, but only 3 of them have been completed. I could, of course, sit down and complete 5 endings for each (they give 80 stones for each), but it’s such a small amount that I don’t really want to.

New promo codes are available. As always, they are valid for 1 day.
