    Not much, what's a herscherr with you?

    I have no idea what a herscherr is so i can't answer this.

    we all still have no idea what a herscherr is.
    it's an ever-moving target that travels through singularities, interdimensional realms, world-shattering explosions and anime catgirls (I love you, Pardo)

    I checked, but I guess I never logged in to Honkai when I played last summer? Both email addresses, Facebook, and my Hoyo account, no account already there for this game. Which means Fischl is gone.

    Which really is gone, I don't need to add another game right now. But it's kinda sad, she was super fun.

    i haven't hit the 3 day login yet. so just the ch 34 for Origin + i got Finality in 15 pulls
    and also finally pulled HoThunder from the Dorm supply, which was kinda crazy since i had decided it was the last time i was gonna throw crystals at Dorm to finish the pity since it was middling.. and I didn't have a 'new' guarantee so only 2 out of 20 S-ranks were ones i actually still wanted. (the other is Azure Empyrya.. which I see they are giving away in the event also, but im not sure if she's still even relevant, seems like a pretty old character at this point)

    At some point they disabled old honkai log ins/accounts unless you had it linked/reformated to a hoyo account. It was basically an account merger. Don't remember when that was. Also, guess I need to speed run ch. 34 soon, but Honkai's system is kinda shit for finding out how characters work and interact. (although I guess a bunch have the trial/tutorial stages now, but just trying to read the 6 different sub screens each with their own specific keywords and system mechanics, then a weapon with special abilities, and 3 artifacts gear slots each with their own abilities and a set bonus for every character is bonkers.)

    The 3.5 stream is over, confirmed a bunch of details about upcoming events and junk, as usual. Next featured 5*s are going to be Dehya (who is apparently going to be added to the standard banner as of 3.6) and Cyno, followed by Ayaka and Shenhe. Mika is going to be on the latter banners, don't think we know who the other 4*s are going to be yet.

    Absolutely wild that we're getting a second 5* pyro claymore on the standard banner, and we don't even have Geo representation yet.

    Also wild to have Shenhe on the second banner instead of Eula, especially with Mika right there.

    All sorts of weird.

    Huh, standard banner Dehya - didn't see that coming. She's still bad even for a standard banner character, I thought Tigh was the new level of power for those they would be aiming for from now on.

    Guess I'll get her one of these years then even if I'm not going to pull for her.

    No matter how bad she is, I still want Dehya, but her being on the standard banner makes the question of rolling a bit trickier. I could pass on this banner, and hopefully stumble into her sooner or later. Or I could roll for her, with the expectation that I will eventually get constellations for her that will boost up her usability. Decisions, decisions...

    I'm glad Shenhe is getting a rerun. I really want her for my Ayaka freeze team. Unfortunately, she's in the same phase as Ayaka - for whom I'm always on the market for picking up a constellation or two. Shenhe will take priority I think over C3 Ayaka in terms of making things interesting.

    Dehya being added to the Standard Banner after her featured banner is interesting (among other things) for a few reasons, really.

    1) It shows that they want to add new facets to the game at base (What I mean by this is Standard characters are technically possible to get by anyone, so they can sort of be considered part of the base game experience, unlike Banner-only 5*s which would be 'premium') while also having no real idea how to implement them

    2) It shows that they want to keep adding characters to the Standard Banner/ 50/50 Pool with no rhyme or reason to it

    3) It makes a lot of the beta testing make sense (her constellations were abnormally strong despite her base level being exceptionally poor, meaning C6 Dehya is comparable to like a C0/1 Hu Tao in personal damage...which isn't something to sneeze at, though it ignores the synergy completely that makes Hu Tao a powerhouse). Furthermore, it makes her lack of defined role (to the point of people speculating the Hydro Archon would work around her) more understandable because...she's a Standard Banner character, she doesn't have to have a defined role with defined synergy. (Diluc and Tighnari arguably being the exceptions here)

    4) Most interestingly to me, it sort of adds a lot of credibility to the thought that they cannot retroactively add characters to the Standard Banner but rather, they have to state clearly beforehand that they will be added to the pool. When Tighnari was announced and said that he would be added to the Standard, it made a lot of people wonder why they hadn't just...done that already. Especially when it comes to Geo which is currently and for the foreseeable future, still lacking a Geo 5* when someone like Albedo is absolutely perfect for it.

    The tl;dr thinking is that, because the Banners are advertised as Limited Time only and your only chance to get the character featured on it, they cannot, legally, then 'devalue' them by putting them on another banner, especially an accessible one like the Standard due to the language they use. It's still uncertain if this is true at all but this is a case of confirmation bias pushing it to seem more likely sure. What this means is that there's a reasonable chance that future characters will be designed purely to be put on the Standard Banner like Dehya. So....if you see a 5* Geo character, do yourself a favor and don't get hyped up.

    The only main wrinkle is what happens to Dehya's weapon. If the theory about 'devaluing' is right and there has been no language saying it'll be added to the Standard Banner, it might not get rerun unless they do like, a Tighnari/Dehya filler banner at some point in the future or they have a Single Character Banner and fill the other Premium spot on the Weapon banner with it in the future.

    I'm a little late, but we do know how the main story will unfold.

    This story trailer is all the way back from release.

    https://youtu.be/TAlKhARUcoY

    Will talk in spoiler just in case.
    The last chapter will be Khaenri'ah and sounds like it will a battle with the Gods/some of the Gods.

    I assume they will be makeing up more story after that, if enough people are playing.


    My personal wish is that they take all the game and story events up to that point, and release Genshin as a singleplayer game. Of cause with a lot of mechanics rejigged.

    Not that it will happen, but I could see a singleplayer offline version of Genshin, with a lot of the gacha taken out, working really well as a Zelda clone type thing.


    Oh, and another thing. I'm finally moving forward with the quests in Sumeru.

    Am in the middle of Aranyaka and it dawned on me
    that Nara Varuna is probably your sibling

    Don't know if this is spelled out by the end; I'm mistaken; or that this was obvious for everybody else from the start.

    another Celestia fuckup from the Archon War that seems to either have or gained a will of its own with a hunger for souls to match.

    i'm annoyingly addicted to GENIUS INVOKATION TCG.

    but in my defense, GENIUS INVOKATION TCG is simple and fun. I feel like i have a decent amount of control over the outcome when i play GENIUS INVOKATION TCG, despite how much it relies on luck stuff, the GENIUS INVOKATION TCG dice, the GENIUS INVOKATION TCG cards....

    I've said it before, but the production values in this are so good that I think it could have stood on its own merits as a single player game. Rework costs of everything so you don't have to grind or rely on the BP as much, move character unlocks to after character quests rather than gacha bullshit, have constellations unlock through continued use of the characters, and I'd absolutely pay for a single player version.

    However, they wouldn't have made however many billions of dollars they've made out of the gacha element.

    well, part of the reason is that it started as a mobile game.. and file size is still a concern. this event style thing lets them cull assets between versions.. genshin is a pretty big install for a phone.

    it would be nice if it became "an actual game". it always kinda bugs me that they have all this epic high quality music.. and alll this long story and exposition... but almost none of the standard dialogue has any kind of music cues/sync going on. a lot of odd prolonged silences broken only by the repeating sound of the 'next' button ;p ( hoyo when endless music/jukebox controls?)

    I was kinda worried about the announcement of "hey y'all we know you just finished up CC but HERE'S AN EVENT ONE DAY LATER LOL" but it turns out it's one of those mini-events with a mini-event store and you can get all the currency just from regular stages. And there's only 8 stages (w/CMs) and those are just one-and-dones. I had fun with my clears though, I got to bring out THE FULL POWER OF THE ABYSSAL HUNTERS

    Finished the last Archon quest before Sumeru. I already knew the deal with the hilichurls but now I'm thinking
    The Abyss is what's left of the ancient civilization that Dainsleif said would have been even older than his. That's why they're drawn to the hilichurls as fellow victims but at the same time are also clearly much more powerful and attuned to darkness without fading away from the curse.

    I guess that depends on how you use her. My Ning was often on field for long periods of time against flying opponents for example which would make the 4pc bonus useless. I think she has +15% geo and +18% atk, two 2pc set bonuses. Many of the dps 4pc bonuses aren't massive dps increases, especially if the bonus isn't a great fit for that particular character. Going 2x 2pc can be better.

    Was looking at the different artifact sets and now I'm curious whether Echoes on an Offering set would work for her (or Yanfei). She needs to fire off normal attacks a bunch in her rotation after all.
