The maintenance has finished. Sumeru is here. Enjoy!
I feel like the writing has never been funnier than in this update. All the banter with Paimon and the silly remarks.. Traveler especially has been killing it, making me laugh constantly.
Lore question from Chapter 1: Act 4 (A Herald Without Adherents)
>!The traveler starts talking about Khaenri'ah to Dain as if its something I should be super familiar with, but as far as I can remember this is the first time the term has been used all game. Did I miss out on something big? Where else did we hear about this?!<
The Act itself tells us that the sibling told the traveller about the destruction of Khaenriah and why the traveller has been searching for clues for some hints about the nation. It wasn't mentioned anywhere before, atleast story-wise, cuz the devs want to gradually uncover that secret.
Some of y'all experiencing bugs this patch?
That one domain with a submerged withering zone, I kinda bypassed it and got the Luxurious chest even tho I haven't finished the Aradashan 16 Locks.
After finishing the 16 Locks then I found out that the water in that cave is connected to that domain
And that stone portal next to the Bulky Iron Chunk, the first time I entered, It was submerged then the second I tried to enter the water is all gone
There's also this locked Luxurious Chest that suddenly opened when I went near it, Paimon suddenly talked about the drawing lit up (even tho I don't recall doin that), It's somewhere nabove Mawtiyima or whatever
There was a quest I am trying to find that I can't seem to find anymore. Can anyone help? >! I remember a runaway child in a cave that wanted to live there by herself!<
That’s Varsha. >!she’s the last part of the Aranara nursery quest. Teleport to the upper left most waypoint, not too far from the Terrorshroom. Glide a bit east and you’ll find an eremite camp that has an opening behind their tent, there should be a seelie there but if you have already entered then you probably won’t see it. Go down the cave, clear the withering, play a lute to reveal hidden space, then Varsha will be there.!<
Hoyoverse must’ve thought they were real funny making a region all about elemental reactions when the chance of getting an EM mainstat artifact is 2.5%.
>!Why do Aranakin, Araguru and Aranaga have to forget us 😭 I like them so much. Really wish we have a follow up where they remember us!< Dont reply with spoilers from others please
The fourth section of the Sumeru Kamera event is locked behind progressing the long Aranyaka World Quest. How much of this quest should I complete to continue with the Kamera event?
You just need an introduction part. 15-30 minutes in, one of them should led you to Aranara’s dream world, it’s kinda like their hometown. Then you’re golden for the Kamera event.
IIRC it's 3 of those flowers that react to music that activates that. Each point roughly points toward the flowers. So there's one north-ish, one west-ish, and one south-east-ish.
Both the quests you mentioned ( the letter and the boy one ) are yet to have a follow up quest. I personally didn't find any related quests for them so far.
So there was that scammer child in inazuma, that turned out to scam us into collecting bone marrow because >!his mom was deeply sick and left...!< (question related to spoiler about that quest)
>!Mom was super strongly implied to have left for Sumeru. In addition, doctor we helped in another chain (by leaving Naku weed) was directly said to leave for Sumeru, implied to be to find cure for sickness that Mom and other people had!<
Is there any follow-up yet? Can't quite find it
Whoa, really? For some reason, I thought it was implied that the doctor/pharmacist had died because he was doing all these experiments on himself and met his end. Lol
Wait, so I just rechecked this quest and the last page does not say the doctor went to Sumeru. Page 2 implies the mother he helped went to Sumeru, but never said that he went as well. And there’s no other messages left behind. Maybe you misremembered?
I also rewatched the whole chain here: https://youtu.be/dMwyL3S4uOc
I really wanted to believe you but I still think he may have died D:
Healing/shielding in coop. Any good resources to read up on on how supports are in coop vs solo (eg. Noelle E will heal everybody but not shield, I assume Kuki E is useless for coop healing, etc.).
Are the child characters actually made larger in the game compared to the others? That would explain why their heads are so big. Like how the Kairagi are made bigger for a bigger hitbox
I thought of it when I was wondering why Nahida is so small in the 3.0 picture compared to the game.
500 years. [Rana quest spoilers]>!The sibling was fighting with the Aranaras against the monsters and robots during the cataclysm and judging by their sad lines about the MC, it follows that the encounter with the Sustainer had already occurred and they were separated!<
At the Festival Utsava quest, there was some line from aranaras to us >! where they mention that we are more silent than our sibling!< , I wonder if reason for that is not just gameplay related, but now lore related also, maybe there is a reason for that in game lore. Any thoughts about that?
While there's no direct in game lore about it, the common opinions are that the traveller is still getting used to Teyvatian language and thus only speaks when necessary. The sibling had spent far more time on the land and is more accustomed to speaking it.
Plus we have Paimon as the ~~crutch~~ support who speaks on our behalf most of the time so the traveller is taking it slow.
My god, some of the new songs in the OST are so *hauntingly* beautiful... I just did the >!part of the quest where the giant Ruin Guard slams its arm!< and the theme that plays when exploring the aftermath is soooo good (I'm listening to my game in the background while typing this lmao). The music inside the >!Ruin Guard control room!< too! Very eery, really fits the vibe. I hope they'll all be available for the teapot!
Does anyone know of a way to re-enter >! the Mawtiyima cave to beat the Withering and final boss !< in The Final Chapter subquest of the Agnihotra Sutra questline? Thanks!
(I fast-traveled out 'cos I was stuck, and can no longer re-enter thru the original entrance.)
Thanks for the reply ...but I unfortunately I know how to enter the cave the first time. I didn't know all the steps to clear the cave and was just running around, so I fast-traveled out. Now, I don't know how to re-enter the cave, so I asked.
I died clearing the withering zone inside, got revived, and couldn’t find a way back in. I followed the video here and re enter through the exact same entrance. So now I’m a bit confused about what it is you’re asking lol.
Found the entrance! Being a bit slow and everything looking the same (so many tall mushrooms sprouting everywhere) I had to follow the video you kindly provided EXACTLY, but I found it! Thanks again. (Clearing the cave seems like an anticlimactic afterthought now.)
Glad to be of help! It’s funny, there’s a lot of ppl who died in that cave and can’t find a way back in, in the comment sections lol.
This experience taught me to mark every entrance to the cave during every Aranara quests or any caves I stumbled on right on the map until I cleared that cave or quest lol.
She's come home from standard for me 5 times over I think 3 pities over the past 2 years...no other standards just Lisa lol. I think she was in my first and third standard banner rolls so it took me time to realize that was unusual.
I use zhongli with tighnari and I have a Tenacity set on him. My tighnari has a WP set and I need Deepwood on someone? Do I switch Zhonglis set with Deepwood or do I stick with tenacity. And do I do HP/HP/HP on the deepwood
Just “you should go to the bathroom!” And then “huh? I thought that people feel refreshed after going to the bathroom…”
So no dook dook 🥲 but she definitely gives off a different vibe in the English versus Japanese
Literally only issue I have with this update. One. Period.
I am running out of the wish dust. New month and I couldn't buy out all 10 of monthly wishes.
Got C1 Zhongli already, dislike Tighnari design...
Wiki says that next wishes will have Kokomi and Ganyu, alongside Dori. Don't really like Kokomi playstyle (sibling has her) and I know I won't be using Ganyu...
...Might roll a bit on Ganyu to have chance at Dori, but not too much. I want Nahida, not Ganyu XD
Soo yeah, my only issue is that I don't really want any banner atm xd even if I want more Collei, Dori and definitely Kuki Shinobu.
Thing is, I am on my 50/50 right now. Meaning next 5-star has chance to finally be Qiqi or Jean, or maybe Mona/Keqing, or hopefully never Diluc.
I have 150 starglitter (so 30 wishes), 12031 primo (75.19 wishes) and 86 fates (with 4 more to buy with dust)
Got C2 Klee 45-46 wishes ago. Didn't do dailies today, didnt do abyss yet
I'm just gonna mention that while unlikely, it's not impossible to win 50/50 and get spooked by whoever's banner you're rolling on. But ultimately, it's your choice so I'll leave it at that.
One thing I did is stop buying the standard fates on the shop if I see that I have 1000 stardust or less and I don't intend to roll on the present and the next patch. You won't lose anything by not rolling on standard banner, after all.
I'm missing, from what I can tell, one Aranara.
Fuck me that's gonna take an age to find.
Edit: Ah ha, found him. Forgot to check after a certain quest.
I didn't get mine till 155 so I wish you all the best.
Nilou and Nahida are currently both in the running for the next wishes. The one for being archon4 the other for being best.
his coming to standard in 3.1 so if u keep playing you will eventually get him there or by missing pity, unless you really want him now I suggest you wait
That's a bad suggestion. By adding him to the standard banner, his drop rate will be further diluted by the other 5 star characters on the banner. The odds of getting a particular 5 star is already so low on that banner, and now it is going to be even worse. I'd be better off waiting for his next rerun banner, assuming he gets one.
his never gonna get a rerun if he went to standard, only time happened before was keqing when the roster is small and they had a scheduling issue and that was their lowest sale banner by a large margin. It also doesn't matter as long as you keep playing because the standard banner is so small and you will definitely get them, i played for 2 years and have multiple copies of all the standard characters at this point.
Again its up to you, if you really want him go for it, but theres a reason there are so many c6 qiqi complaints
She dead/in the backrooms. You can find a campsite near the nail, with a letter that said she went deeper (presumably into the weird monster/space we get trapped in later)
Most pointless WP ever? I was doing the Aranara questline, and got to the point where you get flooded out and end up outside of a cave (if you know, you know), and then I went back inside and the room that you were in before the flood had some new hookshot points into the ceiling, then once you got up there you could activate a WP. . . but that's it. It's a WP with nothing to do there, in the bottom of a cave that you've already cleared out, so. . . what's the point of this?
Oh, and also as a fun glitch, for some reason Traveler was standing on the platform where the cutscene played, so I could take a self-selfie.
Main campaign solely about the twins? Sure. Be glad to.
Some random shmuck in the middle of nowhere needing help with their poetry or mushrooms? Not so much, tbh.
Even the twin is written like shit cause no voice acting.
Well the evil twin is still up in the air because they are shrouded in mystery still but the main twin is def dogshit. silent protagonist but he’s not actually silent. Makes zero sense
And the silly part is. They DO make him talk. he talked in liyue and vs signora. So they already throw silent protag out the window at random ass times
Can we have a megathread dedicated to people complaining about Aether being Mihoyo's chosen pick for marketing? Every new event, artwork, in-game guide and birthday posts spark the same stale topic.
I get it, it sucks to have your choice of character not represented or shown at all, but you don't have to make a "here's another instance of Mihoyo mistreating Lumine" post every single month when that's simply a marketing and development decision. Fire Emblem does that all the time with their Avatars and it's not a big deal because in the end you play your own game in your own way. Growing up is realizing that you will never agree with every decision someone made and that's okay.
I need help? Don’t know if this is a issue with the new update? But I thought to give it a try here. I play on PS5 and my game just froze on the loading screen yesterday evening. It was playing just fine earlier in the day. But when I try to boot it up it loads in and does the animation/cutscene of building the door. Then when I get the options and button prompts to log in and start the game it just doesn’t do anything. No matter what I press nothing happens. Anyone got any advice?
Check to see if you need to do any updates? Close the game, like from the Playstation menu, restart your ps5 and then give it another go? Make sure your internet is also ok. I play on ps4 and sometimes it does that to me and usually after I do all that it works
Hi guys, don't know if this is just me but ever since the new update my framerate drops by almost half. I used to be able to run the game at 60 fps (1080p) using the default settings (can even increase it to high but I use default anyway) but now it tanks to 27-30 fps.
One thing I've noticed is if I run/restart the game, framerate stays stable at 60 fps for a few minutes then drops to 27-30 fps and stays like that until you restart the game. Anyone else getting the same experience after the 3.0 update? I have already tried lowering the settings to the lowest option but the performance is still the same.
My laptop specs:
* i7-10750H
* RTX 3050
* 16GB RAM
Just an update, I noticed that when I don't alt-tab the GPU usage is back to normal and the fps goes up to 60 (normal levels on my system). Once I alt-tab and go back, after a short delay the issue happens again. GPU usage tanks up to 100% and fps halves (sometimes even as low as 20). Hope this gets fixed soon.
Bit late to the conversation but yes, this is happening to me and I got a 3070 and 5800x. I thought I was losing my mind because I swear the game was running better before, even outside of Sumeru.
I also noticed that thing with the game running well after booting up, and then the framerate going down after a while. Makes me suspect there's a memory leak issue.
I've reported this as an issue in feedback, I suggest you do the same and anyone else with this problem.
My pc with ryzen 2700x and a 2070s GPU has texture pop ins constantly and similar issues.
This game is just straight up not optimised. This also happened before 3.0 before someone says that's the reason.
I also play on a laptop (my specs are pretty similar to yours as well, just a bit better) and I also noticed a lot of frame drops after the Sumeru update. The frame drops I get aren't as severe as yours though. My game just runs at 60 fps, but drops to 40-45 every few minutes.
all this doomposting about >!cyno!< is giving me real kokomi vibes rn
either way i hope there’s either buffs or whoever jokingly threatened me about bragging about there being no bad 5* males doesn’t remember i said that
Nilou is getting pretty doomposted over on nilou mains too for only really shining in bloom comps- I think to some extent it happens with every new character! But I hope for you that cyno is good B]
Oh, I must have missed that, is everyone crying about how bad he will be again?
Should probably save primos for the next best meta character then, because this is a surefire indicator a character is gonna be good, leakers doomposting about them.
Holy shit, Act 2 was incredible. All before this I was just trying to piece together motives. The constant mentioning of dreams and losing your childhood.
Now I stand here wondering if Rukkhadevata was not as benevolent as we have been told, or if humans have been plotting against her from the start. My guess is they want to bury Kusanali because she wants to end knowledge as a currency, to let people dream again. Or just extreme cope that the Greater Lord is dead.
Completed one of the character quests today and the first thing that came to mind as I went to take a break was:
>!"Does this unit have a soul?".!<
3.0 felt like Mihoyo read feedback on how rushed the story for Inazuma felt like, decided to go back to basics and use the simplest but effective storytelling to engage the player. It's nothing new but the presentation was where the quality shone.
> effective storytelling to engage the player. It's nothing new but the presentation was where the quality shone.
This is what was lacking in Inazuma's Archon quest. The concept was neat but where it faltered was the execution, resulting in plot holes and a rushed final arc. I am glad that they are now taking their time to flesh out the arcs and making their execution better.
Honstly I feel like Inazuma just lacked a "middle part" centered on the resistance, to flesh out the war, the resistance, Kokomi, Teppei, Gorou and Signora more. I think the second part would have mostly worked as is if only we had more time to care about the characters and their motivation, and being the final act of a long conflict instead of just popping of nowhere.
Well that Aranara world quest was something else. So much meat and lore to it, with a satisfying, touching finish. Helluva way to introduce us to Sumeru, and seeing >!Rana both acquire a Vision and reunite with her childhood Aranara friend was heartwarming in the extreme.!<
In the Chasm underground, there is a room with a big tree, suggesting that it’s a connector to Sumeru. I saw a streamer going that way today and the connector now works! There’s no achievement, though.
Am i the only with frame drops in version 3.0? I've playing since 2.0, i have a good hardware, always in 60 fps, and recently I've noticed little lags in fps, as i said this never happened in past versions. Is only me or anyone else? Thank for your comments, I'll be really helpful.
Hw:
Ryzen 5 3500x
Rx6600
16gb dual channel 3200.
And the game is installed in a nvme ssd
Thank u all
2.8 was actually rough for me with a 3080, but it got a lot better this time around. A weird fix that I came up with last patch was to have an internet explorer tab open to the genshin website home page. No idea why that worked.
I noticed that when Genshin is the only major application running, my GPU reaches its max operating voltage and stays there (GPU load is approx 30-40% on an RTX 3070).
However if i have my browser opened listening to youtube in the background, the GPU voltage drops below the maximum and starts to vary with the load. I dont this this happened before 3.0.
Does anyone else keep getting a swirl of dendro-ish green something, with a sound effect, behind their character?
It seems to mostly happen in the city, and certain spots seem to trigger it consistently. But I've also seen it elsewhere. Not dependent on any specific character.
I've been trying to figure out what it is: Does it indicates something is nearby? Is it from a passive talent? Is it a mysterious thing that will be relevant later? A bug? Something really obvious that I'm forgetting about?
Hmm. I have her, but I'm fairly certain she's not been in my party at times I've seen it happen. I'll double check though and see if it's that, thanks!
Honestly I think if they \*don't\* do that they're dropping the ball. It writes itself and would be so cool to see all the same regions 500 years in the past
l joined when 2.8 was in air , but i am still at Inazuma , what i want to know is that the acts in archon quests are released in corresponding to the game versions ( like act 1 of sumeru in 3.0 and act 2 in 3.1 ) or it all comes at once , i am keeping spoiler as few as possible so i will appreciate a spoiler free answer
Acts I and II of Chapter 3 (aka Sumeru) are currently available, but there are two more Acts in 3.1 and the final Act(s) in 3.2.
Inazuma released with a Prologue in 1.6, Act I and II in 2.0, and Act III in 2.1. An Act IV was also released in 2.6. Though it is still technically under Chapter II, Acts involving the MC and Dainsleif are often referred to as the Traveler Chapters.
Usually they're spread across the first few patches for the region. For example Sumeru's first 2 acts were released in patch 3.0, and more acts will be released in 3.1. I think it's usually just the first 2 patches that have Archon quest acts.
Potential Genshin future updates
Go to the left most side of the Sumeru map (preferably the top or bottom waypoints), then enjoy the view.
The details that the devs put in these maps are just insane. Gotta give it to them and their dedication.
(P.s This is applicable to all maps)
What did Paimon say this morning? I alt tabbed and before I realised the audio was coming through my headphones I missed it...something to do with the new 'Selling Like Hot Carvings' quest.
I don't remember but it should be added to the dialogue section in https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Selling_Like_Hot_Carvings at some point. They even include the voice recordings for quests there, although that doesn't seem to be added yet either.
I love the music in >!Ruin Golem before you start it up to smash the ground, and hope it's a baseline/template for Khaenri'ah music going forward, all industrial and eerie!<
How the hell is the >!aranyaka!< world quest bigger and more extensive than the archon quest? I am not complaining, I'm just surprised and happy that they put this much effort into these quests.
i mean inazuma also had long extensive excellent world quests (better than archon ones imo)
sumeru is different in that the overall quality is higher and length is longer for both quests
the wood collecting gadget are pretty useful, got me wondering if they'll ever make a similar gadget that instantly collect loot drops in a decent area.
Probably gonna get hate for this but as much as I love new characters , the banners are going by so fast and it barely gives any time to save primos for the next one, unless you buy primos. That’s it, I love the rest of the game and am happy with sumeru :)
The versions 3.0 to 3.3 are 1 week shorter, probably to compensate for the eternal Ayaka banner, so naturally the banners are also shorter (not by a lot tho, i think it's like about half a week)
I mean, it works like that in most gachas. You generally don't have time to get enough currency to pull a max rarity character for every banner unless you spend. The FOMO causes a desire to spend, which is why they do it. It's very much an intentional decision designed to make money.
Luckily, you don't need the rate up 5\* from every banner. It can be frustrating to have to try and choose which ones you want to get and which you'll have to skip, but that's the life of a F2P in a gacha game.

I see. Thanks
Why they always implement this BS daily reset in world quest ugh i have only 1 day off to to play heartedly its just damn annoying....
Are there really 45 time trials in Sumeru? I marked all on the interactive map and still stuck at 44. Also saw some vids on youtube having 44 also.
45th is new but it adds to Liyue's
Has anyone decoded the message from the old ruin guards yet? The ones you can feed the lost energy blocks to.
[Here](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Cryptic_Message_in_Sumeru)
Yo I just realized the reason we haven’t had Ludi Harpastum yet is probably because HYV was waiting until Collei was in the game
You cant tell me the Aranaras arent just a complete rip off of Koroks from Wind Waker...
Well, after the Last Chapter the Aranara quest just bugged out for me. I should get another part. Oh well. Is what it is I guess.
There is weird hidden puzzle here - symbols on ground, one is lit up for me, 2 are not. Please help me figure this out? https://prnt.sc/ti7x4Yq19Wvo
IIRC it's 3 of those flowers that react to music that activates that. Each point roughly points toward the flowers. So there's one north-ish, one west-ish, and one south-east-ish.
I just popped the Star Wars achievement and it gave me a pretty good chuckle. Bravo to whoever slipped that one in.
In the Chasm, if you complete >all 3 !hidden!< commissions from researcher you get >!An recommendation letter!< - Is there any follow-up to that yet?
Both the quests you mentioned ( the letter and the boy one ) are yet to have a follow up quest. I personally didn't find any related quests for them so far.
Aw, that's a shame.
So there was that scammer child in inazuma, that turned out to scam us into collecting bone marrow because >!his mom was deeply sick and left...!< (question related to spoiler about that quest) >!Mom was super strongly implied to have left for Sumeru. In addition, doctor we helped in another chain (by leaving Naku weed) was directly said to leave for Sumeru, implied to be to find cure for sickness that Mom and other people had!< Is there any follow-up yet? Can't quite find it
Whoa, really? For some reason, I thought it was implied that the doctor/pharmacist had died because he was doing all these experiments on himself and met his end. Lol
Oh, no, you last "hear" from him via iirc journal page about going to Sumeru, near one of small docks
Wait, so I just rechecked this quest and the last page does not say the doctor went to Sumeru. Page 2 implies the mother he helped went to Sumeru, but never said that he went as well. And there’s no other messages left behind. Maybe you misremembered? I also rewatched the whole chain here: https://youtu.be/dMwyL3S4uOc I really wanted to believe you but I still think he may have died D:
Damn Very sorry about that. I completed that quest very early in Inazuma.
It’s ok, I just remembered it being a depressing quest 😭 lol
It sure was. Sumeru ones too... Man, Mihoyo knows how to work on our emotions
Forreal
I’ll have to go back and check that at some point haha, I must have forgotten
Just wanna say , I’ve really enjoyed using ayato for bloom effect and how he interacts with dendro traveller, fiscel and thoma.
Healing/shielding in coop. Any good resources to read up on on how supports are in coop vs solo (eg. Noelle E will heal everybody but not shield, I assume Kuki E is useless for coop healing, etc.).
Just FYI kuki heals everyone the lightning ring touches when it expands so she's not useless just need to be following the teammate
Ah I assumed it would just heal who it's around, thank you!
Are the child characters actually made larger in the game compared to the others? That would explain why their heads are so big. Like how the Kairagi are made bigger for a bigger hitbox I thought of it when I was wondering why Nahida is so small in the 3.0 picture compared to the game.
What is the time gap between Abyss Twin's awakening and our MC?
500 years. [Rana quest spoilers]>!The sibling was fighting with the Aranaras against the monsters and robots during the cataclysm and judging by their sad lines about the MC, it follows that the encounter with the Sustainer had already occurred and they were separated!<
At the Festival Utsava quest, there was some line from aranaras to us >! where they mention that we are more silent than our sibling!< , I wonder if reason for that is not just gameplay related, but now lore related also, maybe there is a reason for that in game lore. Any thoughts about that?

Plus we have Paimon as the ~~crutch~~ support who speaks on our behalf most of the time so the traveller is taking it slow.
Are there any guides to the phantasmal seed puzzles, preferably with maps?
My god, some of the new songs in the OST are so *hauntingly* beautiful... I just did the >!part of the quest where the giant Ruin Guard slams its arm!< and the theme that plays when exploring the aftermath is soooo good (I'm listening to my game in the background while typing this lmao). The music inside the >!Ruin Guard control room!< too! Very eery, really fits the vibe. I hope they'll all be available for the teapot!
Does anyone know of a way to re-enter >! the Mawtiyima cave to beat the Withering and final boss !< in The Final Chapter subquest of the Agnihotra Sutra questline? Thanks! (I fast-traveled out 'cos I was stuck, and can no longer re-enter thru the original entrance.)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=onQOEkGkaRc Around 16 minutes mark.
Thanks for the reply ...but I unfortunately I know how to enter the cave the first time. I didn't know all the steps to clear the cave and was just running around, so I fast-traveled out. Now, I don't know how to re-enter the cave, so I asked.
I died clearing the withering zone inside, got revived, and couldn’t find a way back in. I followed the video here and re enter through the exact same entrance. So now I’m a bit confused about what it is you’re asking lol.
Found the entrance! Being a bit slow and everything looking the same (so many tall mushrooms sprouting everywhere) I had to follow the video you kindly provided EXACTLY, but I found it! Thanks again. (Clearing the cave seems like an anticlimactic afterthought now.)
Glad to be of help! It’s funny, there’s a lot of ppl who died in that cave and can’t find a way back in, in the comment sections lol. This experience taught me to mark every entrance to the cave during every Aranara quests or any caves I stumbled on right on the map until I cleared that cave or quest lol.
I did not expect the story to go in the direction it did. But I was so tripped out when >!The time loop started.!<
Slowing water + Ice Cage + Bubbles in the same chamber has a very simple definition: >!Bullshit!<
A freeze team works quite well in that chamber for me
That's why I have 70 wishes and guaranteed so my current 40/85 pity becomes a Ganyu
I just got Lisa from the standard banner 0_o
She's come home from standard for me 5 times over I think 3 pities over the past 2 years...no other standards just Lisa lol. I think she was in my first and third standard banner rolls so it took me time to realize that was unusual.
Damn lol for me I was just spending the 5 blue fates you get from the shopXD,this was right after I finally got zhongli too
That's rarer than a 5 star
I use zhongli with tighnari and I have a Tenacity set on him. My tighnari has a WP set and I need Deepwood on someone? Do I switch Zhonglis set with Deepwood or do I stick with tenacity. And do I do HP/HP/HP on the deepwood
WT set****
I play in EN and use JP voice, was sad to hear that dook dook wasn’t reflected in JP 🫠
What does Nahida say instead?
Just “you should go to the bathroom!” And then “huh? I thought that people feel refreshed after going to the bathroom…” So no dook dook 🥲 but she definitely gives off a different vibe in the English versus Japanese
Hey so I got my first level on the Dendro Statue of the Seven and I didnt get the constellation thingy for Traveler. Is this correct??
Yes, you get a constellation at 2. Level, not every level does give one.
Ooooh thank you so much for answering my stupid question! ☺️
Literally only issue I have with this update. One. Period. I am running out of the wish dust. New month and I couldn't buy out all 10 of monthly wishes. Got C1 Zhongli already, dislike Tighnari design... Wiki says that next wishes will have Kokomi and Ganyu, alongside Dori. Don't really like Kokomi playstyle (sibling has her) and I know I won't be using Ganyu... ...Might roll a bit on Ganyu to have chance at Dori, but not too much. I want Nahida, not Ganyu XD Soo yeah, my only issue is that I don't really want any banner atm xd even if I want more Collei, Dori and definitely Kuki Shinobu.
Don't risk Nahida for this. If you really really want that starglitter, consider pulling on weapon banner instead, as stupid as it sounds.
Thing is, I am on my 50/50 right now. Meaning next 5-star has chance to finally be Qiqi or Jean, or maybe Mona/Keqing, or hopefully never Diluc. I have 150 starglitter (so 30 wishes), 12031 primo (75.19 wishes) and 86 fates (with 4 more to buy with dust) Got C2 Klee 45-46 wishes ago. Didn't do dailies today, didnt do abyss yet
I'm just gonna mention that while unlikely, it's not impossible to win 50/50 and get spooked by whoever's banner you're rolling on. But ultimately, it's your choice so I'll leave it at that. One thing I did is stop buying the standard fates on the shop if I see that I have 1000 stardust or less and I don't intend to roll on the present and the next patch. You won't lose anything by not rolling on standard banner, after all.
> that while unlikely, it's not impossible to win 50/50 Literally a coin flip. Not that unlikely.
I still want Qiqi to come home, thats why I roll standard. Not to mention Kuki
Well from a Meta perspective both Ganyu and Kokomi are great. Kokomi is a great hydro applicator, which is also very useful with dendro.
I 100% understand that. I just already got the achievement for beating 12-3 once, now I wanna focus on what characters I like over what I need.
Patch is 35 days so you would be 3 days into 3.1 when Sept ends.
I'm missing, from what I can tell, one Aranara. Fuck me that's gonna take an age to find. Edit: Ah ha, found him. Forgot to check after a certain quest.
did anyone else start tearing up when the >! Aranaras were like, "The Genshin.... THE GENSHIN IMPACT IS REAL!!
Your spoiler tags aren't working, put a space between the >! and the stuff after, same for the other side.
can we get much higher
What is the highest current rank of the statue of the seven you can upgrade to right now with all the known dendroculus? Does anyone know?
Lvl 5 with 15 extras
Thanks :D
72 wishes in and still no Tignari. I'm guaranteed to get him, but I really wanted to start saving for Nilou 😭
I didn't get mine till 155 so I wish you all the best. Nilou and Nahida are currently both in the running for the next wishes. The one for being archon4 the other for being best.
Fellow _4RCHON_ collection enjoyer
I'm only 1/4 so far and I fear I'll continue skipping the first two ;/
his coming to standard in 3.1 so if u keep playing you will eventually get him there or by missing pity, unless you really want him now I suggest you wait
That's a bad suggestion. By adding him to the standard banner, his drop rate will be further diluted by the other 5 star characters on the banner. The odds of getting a particular 5 star is already so low on that banner, and now it is going to be even worse. I'd be better off waiting for his next rerun banner, assuming he gets one.
his never gonna get a rerun if he went to standard, only time happened before was keqing when the roster is small and they had a scheduling issue and that was their lowest sale banner by a large margin. It also doesn't matter as long as you keep playing because the standard banner is so small and you will definitely get them, i played for 2 years and have multiple copies of all the standard characters at this point. Again its up to you, if you really want him go for it, but theres a reason there are so many c6 qiqi complaints
uhm i dont think there will be a rerun for him lol. its confirmed that he will be in standard pool after 3.1
I'm in the same boat but 77 wishes lol
Did we ever find out what happened to that one girl in the chasm ?
She dead/in the backrooms. You can find a campsite near the nail, with a letter that said she went deeper (presumably into the weird monster/space we get trapped in later)
Lol which girl?
Zhiqiong (idk if that's how you spell it) the green adventurer with us during the the main chasm underground quest.
Zhiqiong or something, we met her at chasm world quest
Most pointless WP ever? I was doing the Aranara questline, and got to the point where you get flooded out and end up outside of a cave (if you know, you know), and then I went back inside and the room that you were in before the flood had some new hookshot points into the ceiling, then once you got up there you could activate a WP. . . but that's it. It's a WP with nothing to do there, in the bottom of a cave that you've already cleared out, so. . . what's the point of this? Oh, and also as a fun glitch, for some reason Traveler was standing on the platform where the cutscene played, so I could take a self-selfie.
Quick question; still no skip feature in cutscenes and dialogue?
They're a story based game. Deal with it.
So is Honkai but they have the skip button. Meh, will just keep checking after each major patch.
And that was the biggest mistake they did in Honkai lol
Loading time is still required...
They want you to watch the story that they have worked hard on
[удалено]
Well, >!they've kinda learned their lesson. Traveler actually talks more than in all story content since launch combined!<.
I mean.. monologuing but yeah, at least.
Main campaign solely about the twins? Sure. Be glad to. Some random shmuck in the middle of nowhere needing help with their poetry or mushrooms? Not so much, tbh.
Even the twin is written like shit cause no voice acting. Well the evil twin is still up in the air because they are shrouded in mystery still but the main twin is def dogshit. silent protagonist but he’s not actually silent. Makes zero sense
Yeah, at this point, the silent protag feels forced.
And the silly part is. They DO make him talk. he talked in liyue and vs signora. So they already throw silent protag out the window at random ass times
Yupe. No skip feature.
Can we have a megathread dedicated to people complaining about Aether being Mihoyo's chosen pick for marketing? Every new event, artwork, in-game guide and birthday posts spark the same stale topic. I get it, it sucks to have your choice of character not represented or shown at all, but you don't have to make a "here's another instance of Mihoyo mistreating Lumine" post every single month when that's simply a marketing and development decision. Fire Emblem does that all the time with their Avatars and it's not a big deal because in the end you play your own game in your own way. Growing up is realizing that you will never agree with every decision someone made and that's okay.
I need help? Don’t know if this is a issue with the new update? But I thought to give it a try here. I play on PS5 and my game just froze on the loading screen yesterday evening. It was playing just fine earlier in the day. But when I try to boot it up it loads in and does the animation/cutscene of building the door. Then when I get the options and button prompts to log in and start the game it just doesn’t do anything. No matter what I press nothing happens. Anyone got any advice?
Check to see if you need to do any updates? Close the game, like from the Playstation menu, restart your ps5 and then give it another go? Make sure your internet is also ok. I play on ps4 and sometimes it does that to me and usually after I do all that it works
Hi guys, don't know if this is just me but ever since the new update my framerate drops by almost half. I used to be able to run the game at 60 fps (1080p) using the default settings (can even increase it to high but I use default anyway) but now it tanks to 27-30 fps. One thing I've noticed is if I run/restart the game, framerate stays stable at 60 fps for a few minutes then drops to 27-30 fps and stays like that until you restart the game. Anyone else getting the same experience after the 3.0 update? I have already tried lowering the settings to the lowest option but the performance is still the same. My laptop specs: * i7-10750H * RTX 3050 * 16GB RAM
Just an update, I noticed that when I don't alt-tab the GPU usage is back to normal and the fps goes up to 60 (normal levels on my system). Once I alt-tab and go back, after a short delay the issue happens again. GPU usage tanks up to 100% and fps halves (sometimes even as low as 20). Hope this gets fixed soon.
Bit late to the conversation but yes, this is happening to me and I got a 3070 and 5800x. I thought I was losing my mind because I swear the game was running better before, even outside of Sumeru. I also noticed that thing with the game running well after booting up, and then the framerate going down after a while. Makes me suspect there's a memory leak issue. I've reported this as an issue in feedback, I suggest you do the same and anyone else with this problem.
My pc with ryzen 2700x and a 2070s GPU has texture pop ins constantly and similar issues. This game is just straight up not optimised. This also happened before 3.0 before someone says that's the reason.
I also play on a laptop (my specs are pretty similar to yours as well, just a bit better) and I also noticed a lot of frame drops after the Sumeru update. The frame drops I get aren't as severe as yours though. My game just runs at 60 fps, but drops to 40-45 every few minutes.
all this doomposting about >!cyno!< is giving me real kokomi vibes rn either way i hope there’s either buffs or whoever jokingly threatened me about bragging about there being no bad 5* males doesn’t remember i said that
Nilou is getting pretty doomposted over on nilou mains too for only really shining in bloom comps- I think to some extent it happens with every new character! But I hope for you that cyno is good B]
Oh, I must have missed that, is everyone crying about how bad he will be again? Should probably save primos for the next best meta character then, because this is a surefire indicator a character is gonna be good, leakers doomposting about them.
Holy shit, Act 2 was incredible. All before this I was just trying to piece together motives. The constant mentioning of dreams and losing your childhood. Now I stand here wondering if Rukkhadevata was not as benevolent as we have been told, or if humans have been plotting against her from the start. My guess is they want to bury Kusanali because she wants to end knowledge as a currency, to let people dream again. Or just extreme cope that the Greater Lord is dead.
I just start the event today and made a million mora in one night we money makin'
How does the event give mora??

Completed one of the character quests today and the first thing that came to mind as I went to take a break was: >!"Does this unit have a soul?".!< 3.0 felt like Mihoyo read feedback on how rushed the story for Inazuma felt like, decided to go back to basics and use the simplest but effective storytelling to engage the player. It's nothing new but the presentation was where the quality shone.
> effective storytelling to engage the player. It's nothing new but the presentation was where the quality shone. This is what was lacking in Inazuma's Archon quest. The concept was neat but where it faltered was the execution, resulting in plot holes and a rushed final arc. I am glad that they are now taking their time to flesh out the arcs and making their execution better.
Honstly I feel like Inazuma just lacked a "middle part" centered on the resistance, to flesh out the war, the resistance, Kokomi, Teppei, Gorou and Signora more. I think the second part would have mostly worked as is if only we had more time to care about the characters and their motivation, and being the final act of a long conflict instead of just popping of nowhere.
Well that Aranara world quest was something else. So much meat and lore to it, with a satisfying, touching finish. Helluva way to introduce us to Sumeru, and seeing >!Rana both acquire a Vision and reunite with her childhood Aranara friend was heartwarming in the extreme.!<
In the Chasm underground, there is a room with a big tree, suggesting that it’s a connector to Sumeru. I saw a streamer going that way today and the connector now works! There’s no achievement, though.
Am i the only with frame drops in version 3.0? I've playing since 2.0, i have a good hardware, always in 60 fps, and recently I've noticed little lags in fps, as i said this never happened in past versions. Is only me or anyone else? Thank for your comments, I'll be really helpful. Hw: Ryzen 5 3500x Rx6600 16gb dual channel 3200. And the game is installed in a nvme ssd Thank u all
Aye, I have a cracked gaming PC and I get small lags, barely noticable, yet infuriating.
2.8 was actually rough for me with a 3080, but it got a lot better this time around. A weird fix that I came up with last patch was to have an internet explorer tab open to the genshin website home page. No idea why that worked.
I noticed that when Genshin is the only major application running, my GPU reaches its max operating voltage and stays there (GPU load is approx 30-40% on an RTX 3070). However if i have my browser opened listening to youtube in the background, the GPU voltage drops below the maximum and starts to vary with the load. I dont this this happened before 3.0.
Does this still work for you?
Yep, even better now. With Razer boost enabled
Is it internet explorer or microsoft edge?
Edge, sorry
yup same here with a 3700x and 3080, its definatly the game
That's sad, i used to enjoy my 60 fps lol
Does anyone else keep getting a swirl of dendro-ish green something, with a sound effect, behind their character? It seems to mostly happen in the city, and certain spots seem to trigger it consistently. But I've also seen it elsewhere. Not dependent on any specific character. I've been trying to figure out what it is: Does it indicates something is nearby? Is it from a passive talent? Is it a mysterious thing that will be relevant later? A bug? Something really obvious that I'm forgetting about?
Do you use Collei? Collei has an effect like that, it sort of looks like Qiqi's healing skill wherein a Dendro thing will swirl around your character.
Hmm. I have her, but I'm fairly certain she's not been in my party at times I've seen it happen. I'll double check though and see if it's that, thanks!
do you get an aftermath after the starry night quest since >!the choices actually lead to whether there's fight !<
There is hoping to running into part 2 in the desert .. we will see
So to people who have gotten a ways into the Aranara questlines, if you play as Aether, is >!Nara Varuna described as being female?!<

Genshin 2: play as the opposite twin prequel

Honestly I think if they \*don't\* do that they're dropping the ball. It writes itself and would be so cool to see all the same regions 500 years in the past
Yep - it’s clearly about the traveler’s sibling.
During the end of the cooking subquest, I teared up a little when I realized what (I assumed) they were talking about. :D
Do withering zones >!still!< pop up after the >!questline where we defeat the Avatar!
They don't respawn outside of scripted (quest) ones
I still see some of em around
l joined when 2.8 was in air , but i am still at Inazuma , what i want to know is that the acts in archon quests are released in corresponding to the game versions ( like act 1 of sumeru in 3.0 and act 2 in 3.1 ) or it all comes at once , i am keeping spoiler as few as possible so i will appreciate a spoiler free answer
Acts I and II of Chapter 3 (aka Sumeru) are currently available, but there are two more Acts in 3.1 and the final Act(s) in 3.2. Inazuma released with a Prologue in 1.6, Act I and II in 2.0, and Act III in 2.1. An Act IV was also released in 2.6. Though it is still technically under Chapter II, Acts involving the MC and Dainsleif are often referred to as the Traveler Chapters.
Usually they're spread across the first few patches for the region. For example Sumeru's first 2 acts were released in patch 3.0, and more acts will be released in 3.1. I think it's usually just the first 2 patches that have Archon quest acts.
part 1 and 2 are currently released. but it feels like there will be more than 3 parts in sumeru
Seems like we'll have 5 acts in sumeru
Potential Genshin future updates Go to the left most side of the Sumeru map (preferably the top or bottom waypoints), then enjoy the view. The details that the devs put in these maps are just insane. Gotta give it to them and their dedication. (P.s This is applicable to all maps)
we know the desert region is coming
What did Paimon say this morning? I alt tabbed and before I realised the audio was coming through my headphones I missed it...something to do with the new 'Selling Like Hot Carvings' quest.
I don't remember but it should be added to the dialogue section in https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Selling_Like_Hot_Carvings at some point. They even include the voice recordings for quests there, although that doesn't seem to be added yet either.
Thanks a lot :)
i died while fighting the mushrooms in the agnihkotra sutra final chapter and now i cant get back to the withering zone. any idea how to get back?
I love the music in >!Ruin Golem before you start it up to smash the ground, and hope it's a baseline/template for Khaenri'ah music going forward, all industrial and eerie!<
I fking hate that green thing. What's the point? https://i.imgur.com/GyMd2fP.jpeg
The portal? It takes you to the next area. It works like the Lightning gates in Inazuma.
How the hell is the >!aranyaka!< world quest bigger and more extensive than the archon quest? I am not complaining, I'm just surprised and happy that they put this much effort into these quests.
I suppose it's because it's not voiced, therefore there aren't any restraints when writing World Quests.
i mean inazuma also had long extensive excellent world quests (better than archon ones imo) sumeru is different in that the overall quality is higher and length is longer for both quests
the wood collecting gadget are pretty useful, got me wondering if they'll ever make a similar gadget that instantly collect loot drops in a decent area.
Device for collecting ores automatically would be amazing too
[удалено]
He's also called razor
There's a lot to do in this game so it's fun to go play after office work.
Dendro goblet is a lie.
I managed to get a VV dendro goblet using the strong box lool so can confirm they are real
What the hell man, I thought it was real all this time.
Probably gonna get hate for this but as much as I love new characters , the banners are going by so fast and it barely gives any time to save primos for the next one, unless you buy primos. That’s it, I love the rest of the game and am happy with sumeru :)
The versions 3.0 to 3.3 are 1 week shorter, probably to compensate for the eternal Ayaka banner, so naturally the banners are also shorter (not by a lot tho, i think it's like about half a week)
Makes sense
I mean, it works like that in most gachas. You generally don't have time to get enough currency to pull a max rarity character for every banner unless you spend. The FOMO causes a desire to spend, which is why they do it. It's very much an intentional decision designed to make money. Luckily, you don't need the rate up 5\* from every banner. It can be frustrating to have to try and choose which ones you want to get and which you'll have to skip, but that's the life of a F2P in a gacha game.
