Current rumor which seems extremely confident is that several old limited 5*s are going to be added to the standard banner at once for the anniversary, removed from rerun rotation, and that you'll then be able to CUSTOMIZE the 7 characters and LCs in your lost 50/50 pool.

I would assume the characters added to the banner would be the ones getting the buffs??

There was a related rumor that there will be a shop where you can buy the same characters (and their light cones) for a special currency you get from either 5* dupes past M6 (lol) and some amount for free, some of the LC's from battle pass. It does sound a little too good to be true but as you said the leakers are confident. At the very least I'm expecting some of the 1.x characters like Ruan Mei and Huohuo to be conspicuously absent, no way we're allowed to lose 50/50 to some of the best supports in the game.

I also hope this doesn't totally replace character buffs...

They specifically state this would NOT be the buffs, but you never know. They also state that technically it wouldn't be added to the Standard Banner, just the LOSS pool....which I guess would make sense, having whales suddenly start spending all their money on the Standard Banner rather than the Limited to grind E6 Selee or something wouldn't make a ton of sense.

The timing does seem to line up with how many of these 1.X characters seem to be getting directly replaced, though some of that is based on conjecture. Kafka with Cipher, Dan Heng AND Blade with Mydei, Silver Wolf with Anaxa, Jingliu with Castorice....

I do hope that the buffs are still gonna be a thing!

Also nobody on earth would ever lose a 50/50 to Welt, Bailu, or Yanqing again if at least 3 characters get added lol.

Finally finished the main story quest for 3.1. Honestly my thoughts are pretty similar to version 3.0--overall that was pretty solid. Not my favorite or my least-favorite story patch. First half didn't offer too much but most of the second half was good. More than anything though I'm excited for the next version.

Some more specific thoughts.

--Wasn't really a fan of how the Grove was handled. It's super lame to introduce it with the promise of this whole other civilized area with it's own life, characters, and culture, only to actually arrive there with a "Psyche! The black tide actually got them like 2 days ago lmao better luck next time." The story doesn't even really seem to be willing to go all-in on this promise of the Black Tide as this nameless faceless force of nature, since now they seem to be focusing in on the Flame Reaver as a specific character with specific goals. Of course there's every chance that this plot thread and its ties to Phainon will prove interesting in its own right, but I definitely think it had a negative impact on this portion of the story.

--That said the fights with the Flame Reaver were great. Probably some of the best animated cutscenes we've gotten from the game so far. Mydei showing up was awesome

--I actually like Anaxa a lot. Might have to pull for him as well next patch.

--The Tribios plotline was nice, even though I don't think I reacted to it as strongly as a lot of others did

--Really hoping that when the MC goes through Oronyx's trial they see (more detail of) their past with the Stellaron Hunters.

--Not a super big fan of the way they just randomly threw a teaser for version 3.2 at the end, but the direction it suggests they're taking the story next patch does seem cool. More Castorice is also always a good thing.

TBH I never got that impression from the Black Tide - it always felt connected to the mystery third Path present in Amphoreus (Destruction? Finality?) and I think even more so now that it's linked to the Flame Reaver. Also it's likely that we will get a Daytime version of The Grove set in the past when it's populated like we did with Kremnos and Janusopolis. Seems to be an ongoing theme with the Amphoreus patches as well as a way for the devs to reuse assets lol

Yeah I more or less agree with what you're saying about the Black Tide. I didn't really say this, but that also ties into my comment on effects on the story right now vs whatever they're setting up for the future. Once they actually start incorporating the elements of the story outside of Amphoreus is one thing. But for the moment they seem committed to hiding those details from the player and only focusing on the story internal to Amphoreus.

I guess what I'm saying is I don't think it makes sense to shed any light on the forces behind the Black Tide until we have a better understanding of what it in the first place. Like the "sentient villain" angle we actually have nothing to dig into because the plot hasn't told us anything yet, and the "uncaring natural malevolence" angle loses potency when we know that there is an actual will commanding it. Obviously this state is going to change at some point but for the moment it hasn't.

Generally I think these types of twist stories should work by focusing hard on the surface-level story and premise, and then pulling back the rug at the climactic moment to reveal the story-behind-the-story. The way this is operating feels more like they've pulled back the rug early and are then elbowing the player like "just wait until things get into focus".

That was more than I actually wanted to say about this. It's not like this is a super big problem or anything.

Just for the heck of it here's my ranking for the story patches so far. Probably makes sense to wait until after Amphoreus but oh well. That's a long way away and I've been thinking about it lately:

Tier 1: 1.0 (Belobog), 2.1, 2.6
Tier 2: 1.4, 2.0, 2.5
Tier 3: 1.2, 2.2, 2.4, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1
Tier 4: 1.3, 1.6, 2.3
Tier 5: 1.0 (Space station), 1.0 (Luofu), 1.1, 1.5

Edit: To be honest maybe 1.2 should move down a Tier, but I'll leave it as is

I just wish the black tide had been a thing in 3.0?

Its super jarring to have beaten Nikador and then for the story to turn around and be like oh yeah btw nikador was also keeping the black tide, this thing we havent mentioned until now, from destroying us

like surely the stakes for defeating nikador should have been established before defeating nikador.

Pure Fiction beated. Initially tried Break for the first half and probably got enough for 3 stars, but still reset with a new team comp anyways since the score was embarassing. Ended up going for the following which was good for 75k, probably could be pushed higher with better play with the team for the first half. Or just go sustainless even though I despise playing sustainless teams.

Side 1: Fu Xuan/Remembrance MC/Big Herta/Small Herta
Side 2: Jade/Serval/Tribbie/Aventurine

That team for side 2 is actually rapidly becoming one of my favorite team comps, especially for fights with enemy mechanics that just care about the number of attacks you throw out. Funny enough it's my Herta team lagging behind here. Only got 35k when side 2 was a comfortable 40k, though I did make at least one obvious mistake where I put the mem buff onto small Herta on accident.

Huohuo probably not the best for node 2, since the team would really like SP generation from the healer slot with how much explosions and thus Therta ults the team generates, but yeah. Therta and Break continue to be silly.
