Board 8 > Genshin Impact Topic 8: To Inazuma; to forbid, divine.

(+) Yeah! (+)

lol what the fuck

---

In terms of anticipation:
Sara>Yoimiya>Baal>Kokimi>Sayu>Ayaka

Hopefully there will be some re-runs interspersed so I don't just run out of primos. Also, I've barely stepped foot on Inazuma, but surely that guy we meet will be on a banner.

---

Everyone in a Genshin discord I'm in is talking about Aloy right now.

---

Not too surprising. I have made it to Kondo? village so far in Inazuma. Havent gotten the chance to do a ton yet, but its fun and very pretty. I like the new world puzzles too so far. Want to get to the Domains as soon as I can, but also dont want to rush through the region either

I found these blocks in two places where you hit them and they add another leaf to the image, 1 2 or 3. I have zero idea what their deal is. Otherwise, puzzles have been reasonably straightforward once I accepted that I'd find a way to find those two electroculus behind the gate some other way, which I did.

As I understand it, today is electro traveler talent book day. Anyone mess around with MC?

---

Oh those puzzles are pretty easy. Just gotta hit them in the right order so your last hit lights up all the leaves. If you just keep shooting leaves will randomly go off/on for each cube and get you nowhere.

So the new boss, the machine looking cube. Is there only one way to go to it right now? Through the wormhole?

After defeating it there seems to be no way out.

---

Sacred Cleanse quest was a 10/10. Superb.

---

Hmm not sure if I should activate all warp points in Inazuma I can get to first or focus on the main quest there. Im sure Ill have to go everywhere eventually

I'm not rushing ahead. So far I have a total of like 3 teleport locations, one of which is the talent book domain.

I did learn it's possible to get to the artifact domain without spoiling yourself too much by taking a waverider most of the way there. It still requires piloting through new areas, though.

---

I want to do the event so I had to unlock things.

---

Having to rush to do the first event is really dumb.

---

Yeah, I wish they had held off on the event for like a week or so....

Plan on getting all the wavepoints today.

---

:wave:

Swifty, you play on PS4, right? How do you interact with the thunder spheres? The only way I could find to finish anything with those was to switch back to keyboard + mouse. There's literally no button that does anything with them.

Thunder Spheres? Umm, you mean those things that makes you shoot up in the air with electricity? L1 + Square after acquiring the electric power thingy.


---

Also, plan on streaming again today. Why not.

---

L1 + square while on the ground, R1 while in the air

which is the most fucking stupid ass backward thing ever

Oh? Didn't know about the R1 in the air. I just been hitting L1+Sq over and over lol.

If you're talking about those thunder domes, @azuarc , interact with the blooms to get the electro thing, I believe. Though I have come across a room blocked off and even with the electro bloom it tells me my electro isn't strong enough? So not sure what to do there.

---

No, I was talking about the hookshot anchors. Okay, so then here's the question -- how the F was I supposed to know I had to make this bizarre two-button combination? I asked how to interact with them in another discord and people just said "push T," which I don't see any indication of either, so I switched to keyboard and T worked.

---

There was one challenge that was annoying. You have to collect 8 orbs, and shoot all over the place with the anchors. Took me like 10 tries.

---

2.1 stuff is leaking already

Not sure if people consider a comical looking weapon spoilers or not, but I am looking forward to this lol

Turns out you have to catch up on all the story missions to get to Inazuma.... that's gonna take a while :x

---

Not all. There's one in particular. But it might require a few others along the way. It would make sense that you'd have to finish all the archon quests, though.

---

Man Im gonna feel so behind on the event since I havent gotten anywhere still due to being busy

I've barely touched the event. I have some most of my surface-level exploration of the first island, though.

---

Ive activated most of the first island at least. My next quest is to visit Ayakas area for the first time. Inazuma is seriously so beautiful. I cant wait to see what more of it looks like. Ive been talking to every NPC and getting all kinds of free books and stuff.

Late night Inazuma stream.

Ayaka Lv 70

Farming Sakura Blooms is rough. 45 for next ascension, goddamn.

---

Narukami Island - 90% explored. Think I pretty much did all that I can until I level up Narukami Shrine. Currently Level 12.

---

Cleared first two stages of the event in full. I just rushed to their locations while unlocking the main warp point and a few extras to make travel easier.

34* the Abyss on first go. I'll have to sit and think about team comps for the last 2 floors, not today. For this round I went:

A: Ganyu, Mona, Venti, Diona
B: Hu Tao, Xingqui, Kazuha, Bennett

Team B was always on the verge of death, might have to bring Zhong. >,>

Also, I really need to use other teams.

---

I went 9-9-8 earlier today after mostly forgetting about Abyss. Didn't get around to trying floor 12. Missed 3-starring 11-3 by 20 seconds.

---

3rd part of the event cleared despite my near 0 completion of Inazuma. Looking like they at least made it so you dont need to be anywhere locked behind lightning stuff

Linked my PS account to mobile. Not sure when I'll develop the motor skills to actually play that way, but I can at least do expeditions and the web event.

---

The current web event is a one time reward thing apparently. I did it in a single try

I have to use another email then the one I use for PSN? Id like to do this as well. Ill try it when I get home. Hopefully its easy enough.


---

Oh? Got a Mondstadt quest that Ive never seen before: Recuperating from a severe illness. Atleast I dont remember ever doing this.

Edit: got an achievement!

---

Yeah, it's new with 2.0 as near as I can tell.

---

Account link to PC/Mobile!

Not gonna lie, was kinda worried that Id lose all my shit.

---

36* Mafia!

A: Hu Tao, Xingqui, Venti, Zhongli
B: Ganyu, Diluc, Kazuha, Diona

That did the trick for 12-2 & 12-3.

---

I really need to do floor 12.

---

Im starting to think the Noblesse domain is just cursed. Artifact RNG is so bad Id happily pay microtransactions to get rid of it. Like 2-3 fucking weeks now and I only have ONE even halfway tolerable piece for Diona. What the flying fuck :/

At least you can trade in for Noblesse pieces now?

My take on artifact RNG is that it does need to exist for the longevity of the game, but at the same time it's way too extreme. And the fix is incredibly simple: Remove flat DEF. Not only does it tend to be the worst offender for ruining artifacts, but it's also the one that never has a practical benefit. I can find a time where I might want flat HP, and flat ATK feels bad but at least isn't a complete zero in usefulness. Flat DEF is genuinely just a "lol you lose" boat anchor of a slot. Removing it would eliminate so much frustration and angst, while maintaining enough RNG for the devs to not feel like they're handing over great pieces routinely and watching players "beat the game" and leave.

---

They can do a lot to improve on it. Let you have a pick between rewards like with talent books. I want specifically Noblesse and not the Bloodstained or whatever so why cant it be split up like the books are? It will still take me 12,009 years due to stat RNG, but at least that way I can cut out all the worthless drops. Every domain should be that way. They could also remove flat HP and flat DEF if they really wanted to be nice >_>. As it stands uh guess Ill be building Diona until the next region releases

Also you guys had me thinking there was a new Abyss and I missed my chance at more stars. Looks like I still have 2-3 days to try and get from 29 to 36. I dunno if I can manage it with my current artifacts though

I want coop abyss.
