Re: OP from yesterday's Genshin secret

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, it's true. And a lot of people in the Genshin community throw around "if you don't like it then why are you playing?", as if everyone had to enjoy every single aspect of the game, which naturally isn't true.

Exactly, that's one thing that bothers me. :( I like to take things slowly, unless I am on a longer break in which case I like to play like there is no tomorrow and catch up. Also, I don't really care for the combat aspect, which is exactly why no "competitor" (Honkai included) interests me remotely. But the whales subsist on it, so of course that's going to be the focus, because that's what "the community" (the whales) wants. So I started feeling forced to GRIND & PULL!!! in order to enjoy the other aspects (collecting, exploring, digital photography, teapot, lore and fandom and so on). There isn't a commercially viable solution for this, but it's annoying regardless.

Yeah, I've seen that quite a bit, and it seems entirely unhelpful to me. I figure fans on the US server are jumpy because early on, people were attacking every aspect of the game simply because it came from China, though. They didn't admit what their actual problem was honestly, either, so people wasted time trying to offer advice. Only to find out the point was denigrating Genshin and claiming just about anything you could be playing, made by a studio in some other country, was superior to it. But it's still sucky that about the only complaint that will get everyone to commiserate is "I can't stand Paimon!"

Hm. As far as I know, a few things can help with the fights. One is to choose your team based on which characters pack a punch. Noelle is a tank and a healer and the more leveled up she is, the less you have to avoid enemies. If you're not trying to abyss run, four characters that you use comfortably can be better than a bunch you're having to distribute limited resources among. Another thing is to level up your characters' talents and weapons. And, like, it's possible to hold your world-level back far enough that your characters grow to overpower just about everything they meet in the overworld (with the trade off that the enemy drops get sparser: if you can kill a Hilli in two hits, it's more likely to disintegrate without leaving its mask behind). The other thing is to use the artifacts from those two sets that all the arena bosses drop - Wanderer's Troupe and Gladiator's Finale, I think? - instead of going to the artifact domains, which are notoriously crap. Another possibility is to get someone higher level to help you, because then coop fights and bounties and bosses are generally over in a fraction of the time it would take to do them alone.

But eesh, I wrote all this and you're quitting the game. And I don't even disagree with your quitting the game, that might be the better option than messing with the parts that are boring and repetitive. And man, there are a lot of those.

LOL, I love Paimon. I think this sums up why I am quitting. I truly, honestly love her. Her voice doesn't annoy me at all (Nahida's does, tbh.) and I like how she voices out my bubbly neuron not the one that goes "the abyss which is really just a metaphor for the darkness in our hearts is going to consume us a--" everyday.

Thanks, haha, it's okay. I may have tried everything. I mained Noelle (among others) since I started playing but the amount of time spent in overworld fights got annoying. Sure I didn't die but I didn't kill the enemies either. I managed to NOT get every meta husbando I ever pulled for (Kazuha, Zhongli, etc.) so maybe that's partly why, but the husbando rooster feels lacking lately. And I leveled up talents but only ever farmed artifacts for my faves and never "understood" artifact-ing (eww calcs). Being F2P meant having little access to weapons (my only 5*s were the Skyward swords, lol) and being unlucky didn't help (want a spare R5 Bell?). Being AR 55+ meant I could only lower my WL so much, unfortunately (if I could lower it to 5 I would). I am not the most popular or gregarious person either, truthfully. So I really tried but the passion I felt in the very beginning (good ol' days when I rushed to AR 35 in a little over a week so I could build a teapot for my future harem lol) never came back.

And that's fine, I guess it's time to accept I outgrew it or it outgrew me. It's not *easy* to quit because I still like a lot of things, but the one thing I don't like is the company's priority, and I have... a lot of things to take care of in real life so I can't get addicted to a game that's extremely time-demanding. There are, for sure.
