genshin screenshot haul now that i’ve cleared dragonspine for the second time

taking pics on top of the skyfrost nail made me realize i can finally zoom in on celestia with the new lens gadget. i’m very surprised i haven’t thought of it before lol

ZOOM ENHANCE

need to find a good spot in fontaine to get a better one, since its much closer to celestia than dragonspine is lol

will update if i remember to do so

seeing celestia always pinged my brain for “the sky is fake” so i stood on the hands of barbatos and

i’m sure this is not a new discovery this game is how old now but like

i knew there were rings of stars in the night sky. i noticed that when i first started playing — i was in awe of the scenery and taking everything in, as i still do to this day. just stand around and look

now i take pictures of the things that make me stare lol

anyway i didn’t realize the pattern of stars was something other than just circles, rings

reminds me of nahida’s burst tbh but i haven’t played her enough to be certain of the similarities

bro

dream theory

i think i would genuinely cry in disappointment if that were true

that’s all for today. i got more from around liyue but i’ve hit the limit of images on mobile so i will collect more and get back to u lol

Newbies who've arrived on Genshin since it blew up/started trending complaining abt the cut scenes: Is there a way to tell a player is new here without them saying they're new here?

Seasoned veteran player here since the start, you just gotta babe. Not everyone wants to know about the lore or the characters, but that doesn't make it a Bad game.

I've recently seen people complaining about being bored, yet all they focus on these days is repeating the same domains, and commissions every single day then exhaust themselves and log out after focusing only on primos and using up resin without doing all of the many other things to do in the game.

If you play it for just primo farming, or the marketed method of playing (because yes, it is designed to also convince you to spend money), it's going to become boring.

I've been playing for about 2 and a half years, most days and I get a lot out of doing ALL KINDS of things, and I certainly don't spend all that much time forcing myself to burn out doing only domains and suchlike, I like cooking actually quite a lot!

There's Genius Invokation TCG, a card game, to play either against characters or friends in The Cats Tail.

There's world exploration.

Farming ingredients, low-key relaxing activities, and beautiful scenery as well as music to enjoy in different places you visit. You can collect CDs for your Serenitea Pot.

There's your teapot world designing, where you can build your own home and customise it with so many different items, furniture, plants, and you can even raise your own garden to make farming plants quicker.

There's mini games pretty much every event, and you can access most events now with Quick Start, which is only pretty recent. You think now is annoying. Back when we were at it for ages, you simply had to finish ur damn quests. 😭

Food shopping, quick pick ups around all the cities or secret vendors around Teyvat.

Random chatting to the NPC civilians is often missed out, but you can just have pleasant conversations with them and some random ones give you presents for interacting with them.

There's flying challenges.

Check out the blacksmith and make your own weapons instead of only the crystals constantly. It can be quite nice to know you collected stuff to forge your own weapon set even if they're not the strongest weapons.

There are SOOOO many different puzzle games in every corner of the world to tackle if you want something to really stimulate your brain, plenty of which are pretty hard if you find some too easy. This unlocks their own set of rewards after, but if you enjoy a good puzzle, check out the locations of some. There are plenty in Inazuma, that's for sure.

Feeling irate but too stressed to domain? Idk, go whack some trees in the forests and farm lots of wood for building furniture in your teapot! You can convert things in there as well if you have loads of a certain item hanging around you don’t use.

There's hidden achievements. You can take the time running around, or just Google their locations. Some are fun. But it takes a break from the usual daily grind. And that’s the point, it should just be a grind unless you want to grind out a lot of reruns etc.

They also introduced fishing. Fish is hard to come by or isn't, depending on how much you swim or where you spend a lot of your time in Teyvat. Fishing added the ability to rest and catch all kinds of variety of fish. You can collect certain types, certain bait, and build up your fishing kit. It's a fun pastime for some, and feeds you if not anything else!

There's secret locations, caves, islands, gorgeous discoveries to be had in difficult to reach places but it pays off, and if you truly into Adventuring, this could be a fun kick to try getting to these special areas.

Co-op mode can be used to socialise, role-play, and hang out or help your friends, but it doesn't have to ONLY mean grinding domains together just for stuff, over and over again and again. I think the monotony and boredom have come from everyone desperately farming ALL the time against their will so they can have the best weapons or get favourite characters, and they feel there's no time to do anything else, or they actually don't have time to do anything else after all that if they work etc.

Hell, sometimes I just Zone out swimming around in the gorgeous waters in random areas and look around. I think I've enjoyed the game for so long without it losing its spark, as I've just done whatever felt good, and it's a really wonderful game playing it without stress like that. If it’s boring, or a currently uninteresting task? I give it a miss this time.

I don't have the best kit by any means, but I have lots of cool characters I love anyway. But I play it for peace and an escape, pushing to do the stuff we are tbh sometimes rushed to do.

If anyone has any more interesting alternative things to do in Genshin Impact, please add!

I’ve drawn a good amount of fanart of Genshin, and talked about the lore and it’s characters quite a bit on here, but I feel like I almost never show off that I actually play the game, and have been playing for three years.

So here is my compilation of achievements/flexes that show I should probably touch some grass!

As of this post 1069, 1108 achievements (working on more), 65 characters, and I can 36 star the abyss pretty much every rotation (if I’m not too lazy anyway.)

(I know my pictures are shitty) Every 4* is 80+ with 5*s being 90

(THIS ONE TOOK A LONG TIME) every 4* has 8+ talents, and every 5* has 9+

Every area at 100% exploration (Fontaine isn’t fully released yet)

My highest crit, I know it’s not the best but I’m lazy, and it has been a long time since I’ve tried for a higher one. (The character was Childe in case you were interested)

And of course, TCG rank 10. I hate this stupid card game.

Obviously this game means quite a bit to me since I’ve put three years into this lol

Also in case anyone is concerned, you do not need to worry about my excessive free time as I now have a job and will be starting college this year! So I will have a lot less time to spend on a Chinese gatcha game-

[katalinaize]

Some Grenshin Impact Screenshots they have had alot of events on lately 😄

[auttumnmai]

Weird flex achieved

[canonical-transformation]

Cannot understate how much having Nahida makes the Mondstadt weapons domain actually fun to play again.

Low skill cooldowns, and she just destroys the Hydro Abyss mage shields while playing hopscotch and licking icecream.

[shadowcatzone]

my team for rhodeia: doesn't fucking matter. Bring zhongli for the shield, don't bring hydro or pyro vision users. You'll be at it for a while.

Also don't forget to bring a bow user for the fucking birds.

[prettybbychim]

wtf are they feeding them in snezhnaya

I’m lazy and dumb, so I’m asking for Genshin team comps✨

Hello guys! I do love Genshin Impact and all of its characters! Ofc I really like the game, but I’m very bad at making team comps and very picky about the characters I want to play. So, there’s a little challenge and a big thank you ✨if someone does want to help me.

I have:

Albedo, Ayato, Bennett, Chongyun, Collei, Itto, Kaveh, Lisa, Mika, Nahida, Shenhe, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, and Wanderer.

Which comps can I do with only these characters? I don’t mind repeating anybody 😊 Just want to have some fun with characters I really care about.

[sir-klauz]

Gosh, darn, the Serpent Spine claymore is so badass. It's now finally level 70. I previously had it equipped to Itto, but I kinda think Noelle rocks it, and I'm building her again at the moment soooo.. I've not mailed her in so long. This brings back memories from 2 years ago when I did. She was such a carrier early on.

[birdiewolf]

I really wish Kaveh wasn’t an on-field Dendro driver—compared to other Dendro dps characters like Alhaitham and Tighnari, his gameplay and damage just doesn’t live up to certain expectations for a dps.

I know mihoyo wanted to create a bloom as a strong reaction on its own without having to rely on Nilou, but oh my god, I wish they’d done it differently. I feel like they’re regretting making Nilou so powerful since her bountiful cores are just too strong for a character primarily used off-field and they probably wanted to release a four star Dendro dps characters since the ones released so far are 5 stars.

But omg dude I just can’t with his gameplay and damage—theory crafters kept saying he was gonna be a decent dps and I get that as a community we shouldn’t fully rely on leaks, but I mean cmon…leaks regarding other characters haven’t always been entirely incorrect or inconsistent so I took theory crafters word for Kaveh as a unit but ughhhhh

I’m so disappointed dude. I know, I know—I shouldn’t have relied on theory crafters alone since information put out before release can be changed later on so it is my fault for expecting too much from Kaveh.

But even then—his gameplay is just…meh. It’s so disappointing because his animations are so freaking cool and he’s honestly one of the few claymore characters I’m having fun playing with. With that said, I really wish they had instilled an option within his kit that allows him to either be on-field or off-field like Nilou.

I know it would’ve been too much like Nilou’s kit but if mihoyo doesn’t have an issue recycling animations, character silhouettes, and other aspects within the game then I don’t see why they couldn’t have done the same for Kaveh.

It doesn’t make sense to me: if mihoyo wanted to make a bloom a better reaction, wouldn’t it have been better to provide an off-field support to trigger that reaction? Instead of Kaveh being on-field, he could’ve been given something else to make him off-field. He could’ve been given something like Kuki’s skill or Nilou’s off-field skill or Kaeya’s burst. They could’ve made him an off-field option as well as a sub-dps character if they were worried about the lack of Dendro dps within the four star category.

I’m just so disappointed. I had high hopes for him and even with the build I’ve invested for him, he’s not doing the most damage compared to my off-field supports like Yae, Raiden, Yelan, Xingqui…one of the best parts of his kit compared to Nilou’s is that, you can have characters of other elements in your team. Nilou’s bloom team is extremely restrictive—you can only have hydro or Dendro in order to trigger her bountiful cores.

So when Kaveh was announced to not be restricted in such a manner, I was really excited. But mihoyo just didn’t deliver for him.

I feel like they’re too focused on Honkai Star Rail and their other projects for a while now because these recent units in genshin just haven’t been as good as people hoped for. And it’s evident they’re focusing their attention and resources on other games cuz the quality in Honkai Impact 3 has also lowkey fallen off (ESPECIALLY in the character design department)

I wish they managed their business more properly. At least the gameplay and design departments should be better managed—the story and soundtrack don’t seem to fall off for either games but the designs and gameplay are just…meh
