Chiscara actually exists?! My two favourite characters nice
I'm sorry traveler/scara, Kazu/scara, Mona/Scara and Chi/scara(if you gorls even exist kek) but Scaramouche\his old colors are the one only otp
I'm joking in case someone mistakes this as serious but like can we get his old colors/design? I played his quest and the vieled curtains thing on the back of his hat are so cool I wouldn't mind paying for a skin. The blue design is too calm compared to his bratty behavior
Also hoyo-kun where the fuck is my Alhaithem drip
>>261503You can wish at any time you have enough but beware of exchanging your primo gems for the blue wish since it is not worth it. Happy wishing, hope you get him.
And since you're new you have tons of quests and definitely will have enough funds to get him!

After testing some artifacts Shimenawa proved to be much better than his new set, or any halves.
And don't even think about rolling on the weapon banner nonas, remember to save for Alhaithem!
No. 261598
>>261575I really like his kit, I am playing him in overworld doing those weekly bounty missions ect even tho he is only lvl 60. i'm currently using him with XQ, Thoma and Yunjin. I dont worry about fueling his burst since you can spam his E since it has such a short cooldown. I saw some people complain about staggering but i have had no trouble yet, but then again im playing with a team that has good shielding. His auto attack has really good targetting btw so he pretty much doesnt miss (side eyeing Yoimiya right now).
>>261593Im also running Shimenwa right now but theyre all lvl 0 kek. Do you know if i should build him EM or Atk? Currently have some atk% on him but i think EM would be pretty good to.
>And don't even think about rolling on the weapon banner nonas, remember to save for Alhaithem!To late for me kek, but im not f2p so i will get Alhaithem for sure.

>>261602Congrats to you too! Your Itto is now officially aestheticly pleasing (As if I need more temptations to roll on that banner. But no more spending on gacha for me kek)

Stoic men are just too boring to me right now. More power to whoever wants him, though.
>>261630>Dottoscara>canonised because sex slaveryWait, wut? Is this in his new story that was released this patch? I'm really really behind so I'm missing thing, and if this is true, adding that with Collei's torture, I want Dottore's head on a stick and his brain fed to Timmie's birds.

obviously there was no mention of actual sex slavery. but he let dottore perform brutal experiments that nahida called torture and that signora considered worse than expeditions to the abyss. hardly a stretch to imagine he'd let dottore abuse him in other ways too
No. 261740
>>261737I usually go with darker themes and that seems reasonable, but does Scara seem like the type to allow someone to sexually abuse him? It feels like he has too much self-worth for that (despite the going through all that shit for his plans). I'm just feeling too soft rn, and I feel bad after everything he went through so I'd at least want that to not have happened to him, y'know? (But Dottore probably would to him and Collei because at this point what wouldn't he do?)
Since it's not officially canon I'm going to ignore the possibility kek

Scaramouche is literally the embodiment of a submissive fuckdoll fetish.
A boy who is ready to follow any commands and is willing to suck hundreds of cocks if told to. Signora almost literally called him a slut in the framework of PG-13.
Like, he is a harbinger only because he is ready to perform fucked up tasks of Piero and give his body to the service of Dottore in experiments that mere mortals will not survive.
If that fruit seller asked him to work in a different way, he would obediently agree.

was a clone since that would line up with them being in Irminsul and not the Traveler but now I don't know what to think if
Irminsul can be fucked with to give everyone false memories.Is it weird that I think the gods might not have been the ones to punish Khaenri'ah though?
I have a suspicion that they might have fucked with the tree and cursed themselves somehow, but they think the gods did it because of tree fuckery.>>261933>>261937I haven't tried the TCG yet, is it more like Magic or like Gwent?

>>261821>>261824Canon facts about Scaramouche -
- he is literally programmed to obey any commands given to him. It was Ei's intention to make all her puppets prone to submission, to prepare them to be under her control. Its why the Shogun rebelled after as long as 500 years. Ei knew that he was basically a cumslut and a dog, so she put him to sleep in the domain so that nobody could control him. Not even her; she said so herself; its literally the whole reason why she put him to sleep. Dottore is smarter than that, though, with a little bit of manipulation the dumb bitch was looped around his finger to become his forever BDSM fuckdoll

>>262117 - Its also why Scaramouche is a bitch to everyone else. He has to keep his internal guard up. His past betrayals is a source of betrayal for him because his programming makes him so obedient. Calling people worms and disrespecting them would make it harder for them to figure out that he's actually a bitch-boy intimidating them. The dawning realization that he is basically a princess-acting slave is too satisfying, though, because he hates it when you make him obey you.

>>262118- He got hog-tied in his stomach one day, with the rope passing through his asscrack, a sharp scalpel vigorously looped around the rope and inserted into his anus. One move and the scalpel shifted. Five hours of pure disaster. He left with significant tearing, which made shitting absolutely excruciating for the next weeks. And then there were Dottores other kinks. Boiling tea. Acid. Bath full of ice. Blow torch. Forcing his penis in a beehive. Poison incense. Cleaning chemicals. Letter openers. Baseball bat with nails hammered in. Pepper spray and deodorant. Wax in his eyes. Thousands of beetles on his body. Burning hot lightbulbs up his anus. Spiked gags. Hammering nails on his hands. Waterboarding. Rotten eggs up his nose. Sensory deprivation refrigerator. Coal in mouth and then lit. Spiked shoes. Coal bed. Legs covered in lighter fluid and lit. Staple gun on frenelum. Sharp metal rulers. Freezing his nipples than biting them off. Purified capcaisin onto his anus and frenulum. Prostate torture and milking. Whippings. Bondage. Cock ball torture. Bestiality. Sounding with purified nettle powder.

>>262119- Scaramouches medical experimentations were insane: after visits to the Abyss Scara would return completely destroyed to thr point where he'd had to be medicated by Dottore. This was excruciating. He'd go to the point of immobility. Crawling to the bathroom would nearly take him an hour. Urination, defecation, would be excruciating. He'd be deaf and blind, the regular beatings would cause his face to swell so much that mountains of flesh would obsuficate his eyes from sight. He'd vomit out everything fed to him, provoking more beatings. He was deeply bandaged, stitched, nailed, wired, and the experimentation became so frequent they happened every night and day. Chemicals that burned his stomach; electrocution of the prostate to extract his semen; the panicking decrease of anesthesia during the procedures; lotions that would burn his skin off; limbs torn off and exposed to radiation, destroying the internal DNA, and then replaced; electric stimulation applied to his brain that would make him scream. Dottore would connect his consciousness to the automations, attempt to transfigure him into hillichurls and turn him back, try to find the cure for Eleazer with him, and other various fucked up shit. A light touch of a segment would send him to panic. His brain had atrophied so severely that the doctor had to repair it by further electric stimulation, attempting to restore the damaged neurons. His hair would fall off from the stress, turning grey at some parts

It's too early to say anything conclusive. If anything it seems to be more accurate to say it's "Keqing if she was actually fun to play as".

>wind faggot go nyoooomRespectable
>>262134Honestly? For me I wanted his burst to be more flashy/unique. I know Tarta/Zhongli/Diluc…etc. aren't that special but they're "unique" (I'm using that term loosely here) that sit out of the box is onpar with character but I want something flashier

>>262141the same people as keking and tighnari - fish hole, pedo chan, a heal/shield or kazuha, don't really know since I don't use those teams. I know that because of how those dendro electro reactions work those three are interchangeable, but them all wanting the same supports also means you can't have good teams on both sides of abyss if you were hoping to use more than one of them as dps. tighnari is meta because hes kawaiier with fun kit.

>>262125Keqing was my only main dps for months early game. It was traumatic. Alhaitham seems to have her same issues, pushing enemies back, the strong hit being at the end slash of his burst. Made me a bit disappointed BUT he will be amazing overworld. Nothing better than a male dps who isn't burst reliant when playing in the overworld. Other than that he seems to be pretty solid kit wise.

I’m not a metafag but TBH I’d rather play as Alhaitham than kekkin. The burst animation is a step up from kek’s because hers takes a while and only targets one enemy. Why play as the god obsessed fake cat girl when you can be a muscly man who’s snarky? I rest my case.

I'm also really glad everyone is seeing how obvious Hoyo is with these two, bringing them as this region's yaoi.
Whether it's Kaeluc, Zhongchi or Ayatoma all of the individual characters were introduced first and shown a bit about themselves THEN their interactions. None of these these ships are Canon but bear with me, they were shipped by everyone because 1. They show a bit of character 2. They interacted
We saw Alhaithem but what the hell is Kaveh? A builder? What's his personality and why does he need to be roommates with alhaithem? I was paying attention to the story and Alhaithem did not seem to be the type that allows roommates with him, unless I missed it?
I guess the joke is he's a soft bully like Ayato that pretends to want roommates so idiots will accept and he looks them? Does he keep Kaveh for repairs? Idk they seemed kind of desperate with this reveal.
I don't like Ayato a even but I think Thoma bring an independent character at the start of the quest, then Ayato in his quest was way better than this case

Their last interaction together combined with character voicelines confirming how close they are and bulleting board mentions around Sumeru offered more material than any other ship (except maybe Xingqiu and Chongyun). I wouldn't care otherwise about people seething over a gay ship but it's so obvious they're going out of their way to complain about one of the only couples that actually work off of each other and have had cute interactions

>>262427>We saw Alhaithem but what the hell is Kaveh? >A builder? What's his personality and why does he need to be roommates with alhaithem? Nahida explains that Kaveh is an artsy romantic who understands true knowledge. True knowledge being more than just what the akademiya says, it's everything from dreaming, dancing, understanding people etc. So she says that Kaveh is the closest to what she believes to be true knowledge. Kaveh even does stage magic during his free time. As for Alhaitham Nahida says he is individualistic and only cares about the rational aspect of everything. He rarely cares about emotions or people. This is according to Nahida not true knowledge, even if Alhaitham disagrees.
Kaveh himself is Sumeru's most famous architect. He is even more famous than Alhaitham it seems, since Alhaitham is describes as being a bit more behind the scenes. Kaveh built that palace in the game for “The Lord”. The mentioned lord is Dori. She scammed Kaveh when building it and he got broke. Because of him being broke he had to be roommates with someone, to the NPC's surprise he ended up being roommates with Alhaitham. Alhaitham seems to be paying most of the things but we can see on the bulletin board that Kaveh's relaxed attitude about money annoys him, since he for once didn't pay Kaveh's tab but left it for Kaveh to handle.
Lastly as for why Alhaitham let Kaveh be his roommate? They knew each other before since they both are the top people in the akademiya. So it makes sense that Kaveh might have asked to be his roomie when he went broke. Alhaitham might have taken pity on him or just wanted someone to pay rent. Now this is from the drip marketing while the rest is in-game but Alhaitham is described as not really caring that much about his Scribe job. He just wants to live comfortably. This might be another reason as to why he wants rent money. Also, the only point where Alhaitham isn't as stoic and shows some aside from anger and annoyance is when he found Kaveh's keys in his pocket. He chuckled. It seems to me that Alhaitham enjoys teasing Kaveh which also adds another point to why he keeps Kaveh around.
It seems to me that you haven't really payed attention much which might be why you feel this way. I'm not going to try to convince you, you're of course entitled to your opinion. But each one of your point has an in-game explanation already.

Didn't have the time to play it yet to ask Nahida if there are the options which I guess makes it my bad.

Scara does great damage without any benny or Faruzan buff like 10k per normal attack and 17k for charged but I want big pp damage to have him, Frauzan, Venti and Kazuha slaying everything in light green numbers

I am just going nuts anons, I want to know the 3.4 banners so badly. I haven't pulled since JULY, I will have ~800 pulls saved and I just want Hu Tao to be with either Alhaitham or Yelan for the weapon banner, but I bet she will be with Shenhe or Xiao, and then there's talks of Ayaka being there too. Do you nonnas think they would really do 6 banners in 1 patch?
It's keeping me up at night.A bit disappointed with how much they are recycling mechanics and animations for Haitham and Yaoyao, it's somewhat less annoying when they are recycling stuff from Honkai since I don't play it, but in this case it's almost copy pasting other Genshin characters, I hope they don't keep doing this ("[old character] but [different element]!") esp for long-awaited charas instead of coming up with new interesting playstyles. Still gonna get Haitham though!
>>261933I'm very into TCGs so I had low expectations. I am happily surprised! There are some problems as it is now, mostly low amount of synergies and many combos are too slow to set up (like Kaeya's ult, seems very fun to pull off but takes so many rounds and cards that it's not worth it). It should be better once they add more cards, hopefully they will do that every patch or two to keep it fresh. It's also a bit too slow but I see people complaining about that everywhere so they might add an option to speed/skip animations eventually (not holding my breath). I hope they add more music options, like literally why not just add the teapot music player in there… and I wish it wasn't timegated until Monday, but it may be a good thing

I just made it to the 3 magi quest and wanted to ask: Will the Kaveh/Alhaitham and other character info become more prevalent from here on out? I have a bad habit of multi-tasking when playing so I don't fully absorb what's going on but I'm working on it. Also, just witnessed some actual Alhaitham snark when he said he was more likable than Shani and I had to pause because what did that poor girl do lol The game can be so much fun if you play like the discourse and competitive moids don't exist.

Wanting to meet Nahida and the other playable characters (and to try to catch up ofc) is what made me buckle down and play the archon quest. I realized I need to turn off the bg stuff I multi-task with when I paused it for once and listened to important dialogue and the plot, voices, and characterization actually moved me.

I could bet half of the people complaining about the "bad writing and stupid characters" couldn't tell me any of the key plot points in Sumeru, much less elaborate their views on them that aren't aped straight from leddit.
I'm sometimes guilty of zoning out during long speeches myself too which causes me to miss something important and not being able to backtrack the dialogue via a log feature makes it hard to catch up, but that's pretty much a problem with my shitty attention span and the lack of a game mechanic found in almost every story heavy game these days, not so much with the writing.

>>262688The issue isn't that someone thinks certain aspects of the game are bad. Genshin has had really atrocious blunders, the entirety of the Inazuma archon quest was a mess and nobody in their right mind would defend it and the entire fandom collectively shits all over it unrestrained. But the issue is when people act all smug talking shit about the game like they have any idea of what they're talking about and come dropping all the hot takes when they clearly weren't paying attention, if they even gave the plot a chance at all.
And of course if you think the story is just dog shit from start to finish, I really doubt you would sit through hours and hours of the archon quest no matter how hot your husbando of choice is to you.

>>262690 was faster in typing than me but this, the terminal can't read your thoughts and they wouldn't be able to monitor everything happening either. Otherwise their plot would've been foiled from the beginning.

That's how they were able to fool the Akademiya with their ploy, by going against the predictions.

>>262687I do play those games! But sadly most don't have a lot of gameplay to begin with (VNs) or I've done all there is to do in them so I'm constantly looking for fun side games to keep things fresh. An open world to explore with cute boys that remind me of the characters in those stories I like is a unique experience that drew me to genshin, and it alone has been enough to keep me playing. Sure, it'd be cool if it had a more interesting plot and characters too but it's nice to just chill in a game and not be invested in the plot for once. None of the genshin players I know care about the story/lore either beyond a super surface level so I don't feel very shameful about playing the way I do. It's suffice to say a lot of players feel the same way.

I’m going to be honest, other than stuffs related to my husbando I’ve consume most of Genshin’s lore from other people’s theory/summary post rather than actually finding and reading them in-game.
A lot of interesting stuffs are hidden away in artifacts & weapons description, some hidden world quest, or character profile, something you would easily miss when playing blindly and didn’t know what to look for. How are you supposed to know if the La Signora’s whole backstory are available in an artifact set, when you never farm for CWoF? Or how Shogun puppet is inspired from Art of Khemia if you never roll for Raiden?
Also those limited time events. It’s a crime how they drop some important plot point or character development and proceed to make inaccessible to access in game after a few weeks. They’s not even letting us who do managed to read those event replay it in the future. Like Albedo’s first event for example, where it’s supposed to be played alongside his story quest. While his story quest is permanent, without the extra part with the Whopper-flower it became a bit bland and removes some context of Albedo’s character and the whole not-really-a-human foreshadowing, though it’s not exactly a secret if you have him since it’s right there written in his profile.
TL;DR I think Genshin has some nice lore and decent characters, they just have a really REALLY unpleasant way of presenting a lot of their ideas.

IMO she's a lot more interesting, cohesive and aesthetically pleasing than e.g. Shenhe, or Kuki (who I'm building for abyss right now but I don't enjoy staring at her tramp stamp and weird-ass colour/design). Dehya reminds me of Beidou (who I also love), they do have that "strong woman, one of the boys" trope which is a bit cringe but at least it's a change from the waifish work-wives.

She was really interesting as a character too, once Mihoyo allows their female characters to have plot relevance and an actual role in the story instead of being just a collectable cutesy waifu it actually turns out good. I fully expected Dehya to be another booba mommy for the moids but at the end of the archon story I couldn't get enough of her. It was great that she was able to interact with all the male characters as their equal and
her selling her favourite claymore to help Dunyarzad out was really wholesome, she had severe lesbian energy going on all the time and I loved it. Hate all the fanart coomerizing her though.

I have two questions,
1. How do anons feel about Genshin fans who interpret any character having any positive/negative interaction with another turning them as a forever,totes Canon ship?
I've been getting out of Genshin communities (except this one) because it's starting to piss me off how characters can't be discussed as characters, only lovers,lovers, fucking, fucking, like enough I want to talk to people about lore, their character or even sfw art/fiction but no one is interested. One normal sentence in a normal conversation then "yanno, X totally is totally homo because he/she were nice to X but hoyo can't make them official because they're Chinese" and go deep about nfsw details, as always. I sometimes think these people never had friends kek.
I really like this thread because there are all types of people and most are mature but I wish it was some real community like a forum or something to continue a topic
Sorry for the question-turned-vent but didn't want it to mistaken as an attack to anyone just in case.
2. I have all husbandos except Ayato and Alhaithem is coming, my funds are only enough for Alhaithem and idk if I should skip him for Ayato or skip Ayato? I shan't gamble because I always get my charas at 150-160 wishes.

>>262978piggybacking this to sperg that the "dendro keqing" as a derogatory take is fucking retarded and the fandom jumping the gun as usual, he has a mechanic similar to Itto with stack accumulation building up burst damage, the burst damage can be increased scaling from elemental mastery and his ascension stat is increasing dendro damage. He's a dendro melee DPS which we still didn't have and despite having a kit similar to Keqing they added features to make it more interesting to play. Of course if people don't want to use Yae or Fischl they don't have a lot of options (yet), but I'm personally looking into trying out Thoma with him.
As for your question I'd rather have a recycled "dendro keqing" or a 5-star Razor than gimmicky and/or hard to grasp mechanics like Nilou and Yelan. The latter being fucking impossible to control without a PS controller. Or an extremely niche kit locked to one or two characters like Shenhe.

No. 263044
>>263028I don't think we need to worry about powercreep for a while. They've been a lot better about it in Genshin than in Honkai. In Honkai, old characters are completely obsolete and new competitive content is centered around the newest valk releases. It gets impossible to keep up while using old characters, even if they are hyperinvested (they might have improved this since I stopped playing a year ago, idk). AFAIK only the "archons" equivalent (herrschers) stay somewhat useable. So far in Genshin, old characters that were good are still relevant (national is still a top team) and we're getting the opposite treatment, where old characters that were useless before become meta (e.g. revival of electro). Even when Venti use % fell off because of heavy enemies, they eventually fixed that with abyss lineups + reducing chasm enemy weights and he became a top pick again. Alhaitham doesn't powercreep Keqing because they are different elements, and dendro actually made Keqing more useable. You could say Layla powercreeps Diona, but they're still different enough that Diona fits better in some teams over Layla.
Plus I couldn't pull for Layla because I have guaranteed Haitham and I'm sad/malding about it. Anyway, people were doomposting about powercreep when Genshin came out because they assumed it would be the same as Honkai, but we don't really have a reason to think that anymore. However, we can worry about them recycling a lot and being lazy with designs and broken kits for sure! I wonder if this (cyno and haitham) is a result of them rushing due to missing 3 weeks of work and then patches being 1 week shorter.

If they really had to because of time constraints, they should have dumped those on 4-star characters or make another Eula-tier filler character, and take proper time to give A-list 5-stars more original kits. I'm pretty underwhelmed with the Sumeru 5-stars so far, I hope Dehya isn't a 5-star Xinyan like some people theorize.

>>263260>or make another Eula-tier filler characterI fear for Dottore's future. There is no way they'd screw his kit, right? Since claymore is the least versatile weapon you either Unga bunga or end up like Xinyan.
>>263266SO CUTE.
Fan design contests are always a scam to the designer, the reward for the design would probably be 1600 primos while they get all the cash kekBut yeah it is kind of odd they don't make them. I sometimes see they have some contests in the hoyo app for the sake of activity.

>>263260Oh no I totally get it anon, sorry I should’ve clarified I was not the anon talking about powercreep that you replied to before me.
The A-list 5 star thing is so true. I’m honestly okay with filler characters like Eula and Yelan being boring, since they’re obviously not important to the story. But Alhaitham was a
huge part of the story in Sumeru. He was apart of ever single part of the main archon quest. Such a disappointment how they handled his kit and animations. (Also omg that xiaoven pic is so cute)

Nonas, I'm about to sink my 37 resins on one of these domains to make Scarara my best dps, please recommend me one of these (or others):
>Desert Pavilion Chronicles
%40 atk and %10 speed boost after charged attack
>Echos of an Offering
Normal attacks has %36 chance to up the damage of ONLY normal attack to %70 attack boost and if boost doesn't trigger each next hits will increase the odds by %20 (CD is 0.2)
>Shimenawa's reminiscence
For 15 energy boost normal/charge/plunging damage by %50
The description of EoaO makes it seem better than Shime and new set because it works with his A4. I don't have one piece of this set to test it and havent entered that domain once kek but then again I'm not sure if only boosting his normal attack is enough compared to the rest. Currently he has 2 ATK%18+ and 2 Anemo Atk%18+
No. 263447
>>263212I really dont understand the ult comparison, like the only thing they have in common is that they both visually have lines which Yelans ult also has.
>>263436Desert Pavilion Chronicles is his best artifact set so you should farm for that. Dont farm for Echos since it has a bug where if you don't have good ping it doesn't consistently proc. Also the Desert artifact set 2pc gives anemo damage where as Echos 2pc gives atk%, imo you want the anemo damage. Good luck with farming
nonnie, kqm also had made a quick guide which might change because they are still testing stuff but its a good guideline

A more high quality beta Alhaithem gameplay.
The arrows follow his attack are nice I can't tell if it's from his weapon or burst. And not to sound like a whiney anon but I really want more flare in his burst, I don't feel speshul with him just standing there.

Actually HD slo-mo vid oh his burst animation. It looks flashy now but kind of lazy. Maybe it will make more sense after his story quest. like Zhongling's could be considered lazy aswell as all he does is fold his arms but with the context oh him being the Geo archon is makes more sense and fitting.
Let me copuim in peace kek.
>>263726This makes much more sense.
>which is why leakers were at first saying that he's not on the roadmap.Even Baizhu was leaked to be in the road map before Alhaithem and he's in 3.6's update. But the question is why? What changed?
No. 263733
>>263732I think the only way I can explain my Alhaithem isnt-cool-enough-yet autism is that his Gacha illustration is the exact same as his burst. Take for example Itto, his illustration his him doing the oni thing pose but in game its a different angle, looking at enemy instead of us.. etc.
Wanderer, Nahida, Nilou, Cyno, Tighnari, the 5 stars of Sumeru all have official gacha illustrations than is different than the burst animation. If I wasn't away from the computer I'm sure I can put him on his burst and would match even in angle.
It seem ridiculous to point the above out I know, but Genshin specifically concentrates on the waifusim/husbandoism aspect alot and they kind of slipped with what's supposed to be a highly anticipated character. No one would care if it was Kaveh because we kind of didn't spend as much time with him as we did with Alhaithem, you know what I mean?

both Archon's idea of loving their people was actually wholesome, especially Zhongli wanting his people to be independent I think alot of people agree Inazuma's wasnt that good and Raiden sucks.

I don't even get baited by Haitham's weapon because I already have PJWS and Haran is like his 4th BiS. It's perfect!! Although, sorry for nonnas who were hoping for something else! I think 3.5 will have Dehya/Eula (with Mika), then Ayaka/Shenhe, but that's just my best guess. Kazuha was rumoured but I kinda expect he'll be rerun later with the edgelord. Plus Dehya being with Eula or Shenhe gives me hope her weapon won't be garbage, even though I won't have enough to roll for it yet.

Easy as shit or not, variety is needed even for male players who "don't want males". Electro, the newly revived element doesn't have a tall male character, and anemo the element of short boys (expect 3 girls) doesn't have a tall male character too.
>Nilou banner flopped If I had a cent for everyone who said that I'd be able to buy Mihoyo. Nilou is Niche, just like Shenhe. Shenhe sold better than her because she straight up looks like a sex doll. And it's up to you whether or not to take me on my word, but a large percentage's word on characters are from people who don't even play the game. Nilou is popular af with coomers even now because she's the belly dancing waifu and that's the only way Mihoyo can drum attention to the game and attract new people that either will play or drum more attention and so on so it didn't really "flop".
>>264792If her speciality is burgeon then I wouldn't think so, but an off-field pyro? She will definitely be at the top with Raiden and Nahida. Or even Xiangling replacement?

>>264814No one in this thread is saying he'll be ~literally unusable~. There's no excuse for taking a character from strong but not overpowered to weak to protect their gross waifu meta… IN A PVE GAME. Not everyone has weeks to spend on min maxing a character to reach the point they should've been woth far less investment all along. I wouldn't
want to use him because I'd never be able to get over that. The devs are incels, I'm glad I quit spending money on this shit game ages ago.
No. 264828
>>264827This. Of course he will still be usable but just like every other male dps (sans Itto) he's forced down to mid tier, this time it's just double offensive because he got nerfed so bad. It's the beta testers getting mad that he's reaching waifu levels and sabotaging his kit since they let shit like Yelan fly and Raiden and Ganyu keep being ridiculously overpowered with nothing to contest them,
while Venti gets nerfed with enemies that are immune to his burst.

Besides didn't Hoyoverse take into account CN female fanbase's considerations by censoring 4 coomer outfits?

Literally another example of male player-favoritism, the beta that nerfed Alhaitham gave Yelan nails. They redid a part of her model, without doing a skin. Now how many years have female players asked mihoyo to redo parts of Albedo and Diluc? Even Itto and his arms.

Also laughable you think hoyoverse censored anything because of their female playerbase, they did the bare minimum to get the CCP off their ass

Not gonna lie I will still pull Alhaitham even if he has been nerfed. This is because I really want a male dendro character, I still haven't gotten Tighnari so I will go for Alhaitham. Also I really want a male 5 star cryo.
>>264869Eula hasn't had a rerun since over a year right? I don't think she's that popular, last event she was in was the dragonspine one with Albedo I believe. Coomer outfit aside her vengeance act can become tiresome, its funny the first few minutes after that its annoying.
>>264873In the beginning there were rumors online that a chinese feminist group caused the censors. But like I said those are just rumors and make no sense because no company or goverment take these feminist group seriously. Second part why it's probably the goverment is because even tho they censored Amber and Jean they still released Shenhe after which has a far more coomed design. I think they got a warning from the goverment and so changed the female Mondstad characters you meet first. I actually really like the censored outfits, except for Amber which I think is to red. Also Mona would have probably looking cuter with a skirt but it's still a lot better then her old outfit.

Also call me reading too much into the coom science, but I'm pretty sure Miko was supposed to have side-boob line to her armpit originally. The black top(?) under looks like Candace's breast cover aswell. The only area the government doesn't seem to mind is legs it seems.

I think Albedo is one of the best designed characters with neat backstory and as far as I know alot of people who wished for him don't even use him but just like the character.
The lore surrounding him is really good with whole several Albedos, Khaerineah(or however it's pronounced) his dragon brother, like do much good stuff and no Albedo event? I think I'm agreeing with nona who's gonna quit, I'll do the same thing too before February.
Genshin reached the point for me where now it's like every other game with no "end game", wait for chara, run around with chara then rinse and repeat. All these bastards had to do was add an Albedo event and I won't be disappointed ffs.

Idk I know nitpick alot but anyone know what I mean?
>>265085I get what hoyo mean by this, some girls like wearing cute dresses, right? So it's for girls, doesn't matter if alot of them don't even play Ayaka, as long as she isn't showing alot of skin = for girls.
I agree with you btw, if they want to give us something, let it be Ayato or Thoma. But that won't be for a while since they don't want to "fill" the skin shop with guys, that would threaten the average moid similar to how we haven't got a little boy character yet. And probably never will.

>>265567It's almost 1 am and I'm tired so this might be wrong kek.
Okay so you need 30 more pulls. If you lose the 50/50 on Ayato banner that's gonna be another ca 80 pulls at worst to get him. So if you hit hard-ish pity and lose the 50/50 you'll need 100 more pulls in total to get a guaranteed Ayato.
>12k primos approx>3.5k crystalsThat is 75 wishes + ca 22 wishes = 97 wishes/pulls
So yeah if you're unlucky you'll have enough for one guaranteed 5-star. Let's say you're lucky and win the 50/50 at 80 wishes in total on Ayato. Then you would have 67 wishes left for Alhaitham which would not guarantee him or even grant you the opportunity to reach 50/50 if we imagine that you need to hit 80 for hard-ish pity.

I am fucking salty there is no Albedo/dragonspine lore event and maybe alot of nonas will disagree with me but the Scara story sucked ass, I wished there was something more to him.
A year ago I thought sunk cost fallacy wouldn't let me ditch the game but what always pulled me back is the Mond/Liyue's character lore and since Shenhe dropped with the interlude quest I feel things are lacking, even sumeru. I'll give this game one last chance with the lantern rite event, if it's wholesome I'll stay but if not I'm ditching it (but staying for the fanart).

awful and my standards have been in hell for hoyo since day one. As much as I love the bitch shota trope, it doesn't even make any sense for a character like him to act the way he does after all that. It feels like he originally had a different backstory planned but they had to gut it after the botched Inazuma arc and give him a rushed new one that would line up with that, but didn't give him a personality change to fit his new story so that they wouldn't piss off the people who wanted him from the get go. The story still ended up ruining most of the things I liked about him, including his design-he looks like picrel now. Genshin's story has become soulless fanservice to an obnoxious degree.
I swear Sumeru was only hyped up for it's story because Inazuma's was so bad it looked good in comparison. People hyped up Liyue's after Inazuma too like it wasn't a shitshow in its own right. My sunk cost fallacy mindset has finally worn off too, even if I haven't wasted money in game in forever I now need to stop wasting my time with it too.

>>265912I feel like the site going down was a good thing in some regards. Prior to it, this thread was so ugly with anons bitching at each other over the smallest things you mentioned. You were really damned either way no matter what your opinion was because how dare you have an opinion on anything regarding this game. I think some anons forget that someone having a different opinion to them isn't a personal attack on them and doesn't need to be
addressed every time they see one.
Imo the problem with this thread isn't the anons who complain about the game or the ones who don't mind some things about it, it's the anons that bitch about them. Retard's been thrown around a lot and it's too scrote-like. Makes me think of reddit every time.
>>265785I wasn't even one of the original Scara wanters but I fell for him a bit before he was released. Now that I have him, I don't really see myself being interested in future characters? I feel like I got the ones I care about and any future ones may just feel like Eula filler lmao there's something about Mondstadt and Liyue characters that feel more like home. And do you think the writers forgot about those plot points you brought up? I feel like they don't keep up with these precious crumbs they drop because the story and interactions could be way more worthwhile if they did.

I did that with Diluc so I didn't have to recharge any money for when his skin arrived.

It doesn’t even bother me at all, I like Lisa’s scholar skin and Ayaka’s spring skin. Now if anons think Lisa’s skin is low effort, I can definitely see it too even if I like it. They’re entitled to that opinion and I really like seeing different perspectives. That’s literally what a discussion is. What you describe is not a discussion, it’s everyone agreeing with only positive comments.

>>265978>>266040Incoming late autism but it's really not about making a "hugbox" rather than having some basic conversational standards, some anons rarely offer any real interesting insight on things like the writing and instead make low IQ "this totally rips off x" claims because of some vague similarity after revealing they barely even read the dialogue/story, blogpost about wanting to quit the game (seriously, why don't they?) and aggro all over other anons over their positive opinions, ironically enough taking someone else liking a thing they don't as a personal attack themselves and demanding their own crybaby hugbox.
The amount of dooming over Cyno's and Scara's kits in this thread was baffling especially since everyone shut up immediately post-release, it prevents actual discussion and possibilities of utilizing them and misleads anons who get discouraged and refuse to pull for the character they were hyped for. When Heizou was revealed anons were throwing tantrums over how they hated his design and attacking those who just commented on how cute they find him. The same happens with literally every male character that gets released and the absolute tard rage over them makes it hard to believe that I'm supposedly interacting with other women. Being so aggressive towards people who are just having a good time and enjoying things is /v/ tier incel behavior that makes nobody look as smart and edgy as they think they do. I encourage opinions of all sorts and I have my own gripes with Genshin and Mihoyo but it's embarrassing to invest so much emotion on a game you despise.

The anons you replied to were still right, you're an annoying autist and very reddit. No discussion is invalid just because you don't approve of it, and women are under no obligation to immediately fall in love with whatever boy of the month hoyoverse shit out. The discussion isn't impeding anything either because if you haven't noticed, the only time the thread is active is when people are fighting or complaining. No one is coming in here to sperg about team building with you, sorry. It's pointless in a game this easy. Throw your favorites together and go.

Again, part of being in a community is seeing all types of fans, including doomposters, is Genshin your first fandom? Post what you want to talk about, ones who are interested will reply to you and you do your part if someone is being an ass. I'm one of the people who are upset by Alhaithem nerf and "" doomposted "" about him but will still get him, like other gorls what did you want me/others to do to be on your good graces and "good fans"?

I didn't want him to be cringe-vengeful of course but I expected more to his character after he remembered who he was after that setup, basically we meet him again, fight his mecha boss then talk for a bit then it ended.
I really wanted just a bit more angst, him interacting with Kazuha in any way (while Kazuha having no idea who he is) and hearing Dottore next plan/promise to fuck shit up and I would've been a happy gal.

I did it. I finally got free, I'm not playing this game anymore. No more scrotes talking about how their waifus are so much better than the male charas, no more unsolicited porn images of their waifus in every community or server, no more Abyss, no more artifacts, no more saving for charas that wont be at the same tier as the uwu waifus, no more!!!!
Been playing the game for 2 years, hoping that someday female players would be treated fairly. Yesterday, I spent all my 190 pulls on standard in a fit of rague. Now, I have no savings. You win mihoyo! Good job!
I was addicted to this game, which was causing a toll on my mental health, not gonna lie. It may take time for my brain to get used to not playing everyday religiously, but I think this is for the better.
I might play from time to time because I like a lot of characters, events and the story is interesting. But I'm tired.
Hope someone reads this and thinks about taking a break if they are adicted. Try playing other games (been playing nuzlocke Pokémon, Fire Emblem and Dreamlight Valley), you might realize you don't have to suck mihoyo's cock to get some entertainment. Unlike some people think, this is not the only action/RPG game oriented towards female players. I, too, have huffed that same copium, but tbh it's not like that. Go see greener pastures, nona! There's a whole world out there for you! Cheers.

>>266818Congrats,
Nonnie!! I’ve been playing for about two years as well and I have to admit I’m bored as well.
Here’s some tips for nonnies:
If you’re playing for 10-30mins daily take a break
you’re bored in game take a break
you have no quests or events to do take a break
If doing anything feels like a chore then it’s time to take a break.
Work on projects, clean your dwelling, see your friends etc. then come back to Genshin if needed.

>>266852 but I actually like his outfit. Its Indian dhoti plus kameez which as a desi person fills me with much serotinin. Its like theyre finally acknowledging his indian roots (name plus skin) which considering the fucking trash bin the sumeru region was is a relief. Literally the only skin that looks remotely SWANA beside Cyno
The edit the anon posted was p bad ngl kek

>>266954That's be worse if that was the case. I'm no Desi/Indian but I remember studying all about it uni and fell in love with it and this design? It's doing the bare minimum of appreciation to said culture.
Than again I might be nitpicking since they do take one proper cultural elements and then Genshin it up. So good on you if you love it

>>267042Literally no one gives a shit about the archons and their lore now that theyre confirmed female. Women by far are the majority of fan-artists / stans. Sure men theory-fag a lot but you can actually FEEL the excitement over the archons die in the female and thus more dominant side of the fandom once the majority of them were confirmed to be waifu coomer baits.
Imagine how much hyped the fandom would be if the tsaritsa was actually a honkai expat of Kevin Kaslana? Everyone would be going insane over the smallest leaks for him. Thered be art everywhere and discussions about him and lore. And yet Ive seen more stans smothering over Varka and pre-release Heizou than I have over these whores. No one gives a fuck anymore

Nonas with 10k+ fanarts saved, do you have more like Picrel? I have a huge crush on 3rd phase tarta with broken mask or something like the Pic but I have no idea what to search, I either get normal Childe or 3rd phase fully masked.
It's a really niche part of Tarta fanart but it really looks good with his hair like that and a serious expression.

>>267035This is so ugly. Unlike most nonnas here it doesn’t bother me that the rest of the archons are female since I enjoyed both Ei and Nahida as characters but god this design is so bad it should be a crime. Makes me wanna drop the game ngl like. You can’t tell me this clown is a whole archon. We have amazing designs like Cyno or Ningguang that give of ethereal vibes and they are just common people and this bitch was supposed to be divinity? She looks like a background character. That one girl that dies at the first episode of a survival anime. Goddammit. I guess they weren’t lying when they said all the good designers moved on to the new Honkai game (look at picrel, he’s glorious). I refuse to believe that the designers that gave us Zhongli is behind this shit. Oh my god. I’m so pissed

No. 267058
>>267047I'm genuinely curious hearing your positive opinion about Ei and why you like her.
My problem with female archon isn't that they're female but they're a moid's idea of a female and this lameass design shows.
>picThe art style is neat ngl but if you read a couple of manhuas or followed few Chinese artists you'd see that this design is exhausted. It's as common as guys with long ponytail kek.
>>267045It doesn't help that the best stories of an archon and their people were male archons. Ei was a disappointment and Nahida is good/eh? Nahida wasn't insufferable but there wasn't something else to think about like with Venti we had Nameless bard, Jean and Diluc's ancestors to add the extra layer of depth and how they care about Mondstadt in thier own way, Liyue gave us the fatherly-like love from Zhongli to people of Liyue by making them depend on themselves and gave the extra layer of Adepti and how they still care and want to protect Liyue.
But Sumeru? Nahida? I hoped we'd get something from King Deshret(sp?) for the extra layer from Cyno and co. but there wasn't anything to think about just her and how that guy locked her. I feel Cyno (one of my faves) was useless in the grand scheme of things and Alhaithem/Dehya would've filled his position in the story which sucks. In his story quest it was better but that's not saying much, my boy Cyno was dealt a bad hand both in playability and role.
Sorry this kind turned into a rant/vent about Cyno kek

Again the yellow lady but this time with more details. I like her colors, hair, hat, corset and the back of her dress/skirt. She has been cursed with the Ei stripper shorts tho and is forced to show her armpits.
>>267110I do think longer pants would have suited her better but in genshin female characters design standard she is not coomerish at all. Also they are very short shorts but not booty shorts imo and she doesnt have the big thigh spill as Kuki it seems. The character you shared has a very cute design but I don't we will get ever something like that in Genshin. I just kinda accepted the fact that female character will either wear thights, short shorts or dresses that will reveal panties very easily because of messed up animations. It's sad i know but I just have lowered my standards kek.

Genshin obviously has fanservice-y male gaze in it but it's honestly really tame for a gacha game, and any anons ITT who say that this game has better designs than Genshin are out of touch with reality. At least Genshin wouldn't make a swimsuit skin for any of the loli's unlike this yurishit coomer game.
No. 267157
>>267154Yuck, just yuck, didn't know it was this bad. When I used "just like honkai" I didn't mean the coomer element, but the design one. See how most have the black/white/color distribution on all designs? Compare this to like Gorou that has 3 main colors but extra small elements with other colors to make it fun to look at. Kazuha is monotone-y aswell but has the orange sleeve and chest piece thing to break the boring look.
Either nitpicking or tinfoiling but I feel that not only the original designers that made me love alot of characters are gone and so did the original quality control. I feel majority of characters are soulless, seeing the characters in the quest I didn't feel excited to get them like Jean,Venti, Diluc, Zhongli, Childe, Signora (LOL) Ningg, Beidou…etc. The only one I want is Alhaithem and that's only because I have a reverse Harem in teapot kek. Though I'll have a bit of optimism probably it would be fixed with a good story or something.

Anyway, Fontaine having EIGHT female characters to 3 male characters makes me want to kermit but 2 tall males sounds promising.

>>267317Yes I really like her design but I was dissapointed with just her story in general. Like you mentioned I thought she would be more involved to enkanomiya and also as a mastermind war tactician she didn't do much in the Inazuma war imo. I wanted her to overthrow Raiden together with the help of Ayaka so bad, but alas.
>>267324Klee both her design and character are cute. I however do not have her since I simply don't like her gameplay. I feel like she's kinda clunky to play like you said and I prefer Yanfei more as a pyro catalyst user.

>>267331>>267329It would have been easy to include her. Even the Enjou fight would have been a test run for kokomi. I think it would be cool for the lower ranking Vishaps to fuck off after they realize who kokomi is. Whereas the big ones would be offended she even shown her face in enkanomiya after water dragon dipped. She could even find out about her people’s past the same way traveler did and maybe apologize to tsumi lol. Idk the possibilities did seem endless.

Traveler still dislikes Childe and goes around warning Yoimiya not to get close to him because he’s a fatui when they’re literally just playing with kids. Our last conversation with Scara is also the same way. Traveler still dislikes him since Paimon literally says "I still don’t like you" to Scara’s face as he replies that they hopefully won’t need to see each other again. I get that both Childe and Scara have killed good people and that the traveler is against that but it becomes so hypocritical when the game forces us to love Ei.

Actually, would it hurt them to do to Ei what they did to Childe? Just the scene in the dungeon weakened by his 3rd form added so much to personality. Despite all the moralfagging on Twitter on how "
problematic" characters are, Childe and Scara get away even with those types not only because theyre attractive characters but they are great they don't even want to apply Twitter rules kek.
I actually don't know why I sperg when we all agree on our hate towards Ei

With Liyue's lore and character designs seeming so much more well researched and inspired than those of the other nations, a part of me wishes Mihoyo had based the entire world off China. You'd have Manchuria as the cyro nation, the southwestern forests for dendro, a silk road inspired pyro, the possibilities are endless. I'd just be worried about nationalism/one China stuff creeping in.
>>267511If Yae was really as smart as the writers kept telling us she is, Ei would have been made some sort of figurehead and had her duties handed over to Sara/Ayato/Kokomi/literally anyone else. I wouldn't trust her with running a hotdog stand after the shit she pulled, let alone a country (and it would tie into the themes previously established by the story too).

XQ and Chongyun being friends with Xiangling but not Xinyan infact she kinda pisses them off, both are annoyed by Hutao, XQ gushes about Yunjin, Yunjin is BFF with both XL and Xinyan and XQ teasing Chongyun is adorable af.

Very reliable leaker. The character Neuvilette we’ve been hearing so much about is actually a tall male! Might even be the only tall male. He’s important to the story and has a high position of power. He dislikes the corrupt hydro archon.

>>267617You don't have to personally like Ningguang, I was just using her as an example of a character with a well researched design. Her finger guards, hairpin, pipe, cheongsam, they were all chosen with intention and reference to Qing dynasty China. You could replace her with Zhongli/Xiao/Yunjin or someone else if you'd prefer, idc. My main point was that they took inspiration from China on more than a shallow aesthetic level, which is more than can be said for the Epcot pavilion level mishmashes that are Mond/Sumeru/now Fontaine (leaving out Inazuma because Mihoyo is full of weebs, which is reflected in its design). I'm not just talking about character design, either. It's not even surprising, they're a Chinese company after all.

Showing shoulders, showing thigh close to crotch, corset and tight leggings idk despite wanting equal sluttiness(?) for boys and girls in genshin this doesn't make me comfortable. Maybe be because he looks like a kid? Maybe the model will look older.
I think the only legging male character is Venti and fucker got femboy'd to death by moids, I don't Lyney to get this shitty treatment too kek.
>>267662Okok I'm the anon who complains about black/white/color honkai-esque color combo they're fucking my brain with but enough blue already! Yeah it's the common color for hydro and cryo but the amount of blue without any other complimentary color is killing me. It's fine to do colors that are different than the color of the element, like Itto sure he's Geo but has red, purple and dark grey more than yellow, freaking Childe is hydro and he's more grey and Red with barely any blue. Like you can't tell me they aren't failing character design aspect.
>>267675Sumeru screwed my brain, it has themes from Persia, Arab countries, Sri Lanka, India and the whole South East Asia in general which I don't mind, but why mix and match?

>>267705ntayrt but damn that's crazy cuz that's how I feel about women who like them. a bland yuribait couple, one with a coomer design, the other with a generic chinese rich lady look you've seen done better 100 times over if you've ever consumed other chinese media? I'll pass. not even the people who claim to like them actually like them beyond a super surface level i.e. reposting fanart that all looks the same. even confirmed nlog eimiko fans act more invested in their pairing.
beigguang is a pairing no one would care about if it weren't for the weird political nature of western fandom spaces. it doesn't have enough going on to give you a reason to dislike it and with that fandom obligation to support wuhluhwuh gaslight gatekeep girlbosses, you get nlogs pretending to care about beigguang once a year then going back to the bl ship of the day.

Like what you like and dislike what you dislike I guess, it just reeks to me of nlog when even elegant, tasteful characters like Ningguang get hate.
It's funny you say Beidou is coomer too because yeah, she exposes a lot of skin, but I don't really read it as all that coomerish. She's on the ocean so she's wearing a swimsuit. It's a lot better than crap like Shenhe, Ei, and Yelan to me.

>>267516Jfc, this is it. This is
it. She did literally everything that could be done wrong. Like you mentioned, we could even argue she's the reason the good twin died and because she was such a fucking slacker, when it came time to rule and guide her people, she gave it all up and ran away. Imagine doing everything in your power to avoid doing some work that you create sentient beings either to destroy or throw them away and never mention them again. And then when she finally creates a doll she likes, her dumbass didn't make a power kill switch to shut it off. How did she, a god, make a doll that's too strong for her to beat?! This'll never make sense and now I have a headache ruminating over this shit. It's been over a year and I still want an explanation kek
I'll still hold the death of the snake god and the isolation of Ruu's island against her and there really is no reason why Yae couldn't be the puppetmaster protecting Inazuma from the fatui
terrorists. Like no joke, she would've stopped the delusion trafficking before it got started and she would've already established trade if not to just share light novels with the world alone. She could predict so much in advance and used the traveler to get through to Ei, and she's apparently the closest person Ei has anymore. I wish that dumbass didn't jump the gun and just left Inazuma to Yae before she dipped. I hope her dead sister haunts her ass for all eternity.
And she still wants eternity! It's so maddening because villainous characters are actually villains and we accept that, but she's suddenly seen the light and we're the bad guys for holding grudges? Childe deserves better and I never really favored him until now. I need aspirin. No. 267793

>>267863Yeah honestly I think Lyney has a good design. It's simple, way less cluttered than the girls around him for some reason and he has stockings which is a good change of pace for male designs. The women characters can have see-through skin tight bodysuits, booty shorts (so short you can see the buttcrack), boob socks, fully visible legs (even in the actual child characters) and panty shots but if a male character (who is taller than the girls, so not a little boy) shows legs suddenly we're all pedos if we like him. It's not like he has his dick or ass out ffs, he's still covered. The archon's shorts are actually shorter.
Are moids going to be gross about him? Sure because they're disgusting moids, but he still has a cute design kind of like Venti.

>>267876Maybe he shows some skin on the sides, I'm coping by the way.
>>267883That's dumb, if you looked at the short boys closely, you would notice that most of them have coomer designs with open backs, garters, tight clothes and such. You just feel uncomfortable because he's the first boy with actual short shorts since Xingqiu.
No. 267903
>>267863>>267862It's going to depend on his voice for me. If it's a normal adult male voice like Cyno then he's just a manlet who can dress as sluttily as he wants, but if he has a young sounding voice in addition to looking like a 13 year old I'm going to be disgusted.
Most of the short female characters are of age so I don't care that much about muh sexualization when it comes to them either, and they also don't really look like kids either considering they have huge asses and tits. Are there any teen female models who are actually clearly canonically underage anyway? The only one I can think of is Xiangling.
No. 267912
>>267903Kek what? Collei is clearly not an adult yet she's running around in an outfit that shows even more skin than Lyney's. Even Lumine shows the same amount of skin. How about Fischl? She's running around in a fishnet swimsuit while clearly being underage. Just admit that there are double standards to male and female characters and their sexualization. Let Lyney slut out to his heart's content.
>>267907>The difference is that the other male designs feel like fanservice for women while Lyney looks like he was made for men.Weird how the only people hyped for him have been female. This sounds like the weirdo who thinks Venti is a femboy brainwashing psyop made for scrotes and not a cute twink women find cute. I can assure you that pedophile moids have like 10 lolis in the game to simp for, they don't have to resort to the short males.
No. 267920
>>267912Oh, I forgot that Collei exists kek. Yeah, she looks stupid and like she forgot to put on her pants. Fischl can legally drink alcohol so she is at least 16 to 18 years old, and even though her lingerie looks dumb as hell and I prefer her skin by a mile it at least fits her chuuni retardation.
You're delusional if you think that scrotes don't produce the majority of Venti porn or that they won't love Lyney for degen reasons though. Women will like him if he has some kind of yaoibait ship he can bottom in, otherwise they are going to stick to characters like Haitham. There's a reason why normal bishonen tall males almost always sell better than the short ones. And you are extra delusional if you really don't know that scrotes don't only love lolis but also shotas. Plenty of gay pedos out there.
Honestly though, I would prefer if all the characters were just dressed like normal people and not like they regularly forget to put on articles of clothes or like they're going to their side hustle as a stripper later in the day. This goes for both the male and female characters.
No. 267922
>>267920This is some extreme mental gymnastics to admit that fujos love twinks but then turn it around saying ackshually it's pedoscrotes who these "shotas" are made for. Scaramouche was just as much of a cute teenage twink as Lyney and the majority of his fanbase is undeniably female.
Just where is the line drawn anyway? If a short male is voiced by a woman then he must be 12 but by a man he's an adult? Tighnari is clearly an adult and he has a female voice in the jp dub, Bennett has a male voice in the jp dub while in every other one he has a female voice. I'm asking but I know the response is "the ones I personally like are legal and the ones I don't are not". Characters like Klee and Diona are obviously children due to how they look and behave but everyone else is left intentionally vague to avoid all this "b-but they're literal children!!!" discourse.

I just don't understand why you think a male character using the short male model (so about the same age as the short female characters like Amber) is pedobait but Fishl talking like a retarded child running around in fishnets and Kokomi floating around in literal panties are fine.

Personally I’m so fucking excited for Lyney, he’s the first male character that was intentionally designed as sexy.
The pedobait accusations here are either a scrote or some twitterfags because you can’t tell me that Lynette can be the exact same age as Lyney (literally twins) have the short girl model and have her tits out but only Lyney is the issue.
Other than that, how come so many anons didn’t know who Lyney was even though we’ve seen him for years? Are you super new to the game? Why the outrage now?

I'm really sorry to break it to you, but I can guarantee you that Lyney was made for a particularly degenerate type of coomer that is into traps and shotas. You can't convince me that a small boy with soft features who is wearing a corset, booty shorts, a garter belt, thigh highs, and those retarded unattached sleeves that show off his armpits was made for female fans.

I think I'm late to the discussion. I'm the anon who's okay with equal sexualization because fuck what's okay for women isn't okay for men.
But this what bothers me (Picrel) it's the same thing with Dottore when everyone dropped the s&m rumors that raped Scara 24/7 and most went with it, because of a choker. These aren't normal garters, I hate that they look like bdsm things but you know what I hate? This will be another Venti situation.
Aside from equal sexualization if it's available, male characters are for woman period. I can fucking predict from here that moids will claim him and have him be a self insert femboy with huge thighs spiling fat. If we had normal fans who wouldn't give a fuck what a fictional character wears then no one would be bothered. Fuck it I'll tinfoil that they made him for men more than women because the mentioned Xingqiu, Cyno, Scara and most male characters were made with women's taste in mind, what is a popular character with his type of design? Xingqiu was almost grabbed by moids but fujos stood their ground and kept shipping him with Chongyun until they fucked off. Chongyun really fends of evil spirits kek
And just to add one thing since this is an anon board; if I could take away the unnecessary sexualized girl designs then I would, don't reply to this with a cope that I'm okay with Fischl or Yoimiya's (for example) design just because they're cannon adults, it still looks disgusting.

Quit being schizo over this, again who cares who scrotes jack off to? Are we not allowed to enjoy a single female character no matter what either because scrotes make vile porn of them even when their designs are nonsexual? Like I genuinely cannot understand why this matters so much to you

This is the most wtf shit I've read in this thread.
Why is so hard to get that I hate moidish touches in everything whether it be sexualizing girls, Bdsm harness on a character or femboying another? I'm want to discuss this here not change minds (I can't) or change the official design.(can't do that either)
>who cares who scrotes jack off toPicrel, it's almost like this gets brought up when anyone discusses skimpy designs.
As much as I want to continue picking brains of others about this subject I say drop it because we're bordering infighting and that's no fun.
Has anyone found out the new character elements though? The yellow girl is obvs Geo but what about teal girl, tall guy and twins?

>>268106Lyney is apparently either cryo catalyst or cryo bow. Lynette does not have info yet, presumably because she shares it with Lyney.
Teal girl is probably too soon in development for answers. The other Mondstadt girl (red outfit and pink hair, probably a 4*) has an obvious anemo vision on her shoulder.

>>267931The "data" I assume you're talking about is the retarded guesswork done by comparing model heights which is useless since there's no way all short males are canonically 160-161cm in height nor are tall males 179-180cm. It's indicative. For example the official travel guidebook actually shows Venti being noticeably taller than Aether and as tall as Jean.
Also shouldn't we hate all the tall male characters too because so many gay guys like them and moids self-insert into Zhongli and Diluc because they're totally cool sexy daddies fucking women left and right? No. I don't care if some niche scrote coomers whack it to Lyney, I'll take my chances in assuming that they're way more likely to go for the lolis or the girl characters instead. For every paranoid "nooo he's a femboy made for male pedos" retard there are 10 men whining about Lyney and Venti being fujopandering.

It's almost like women aren't allowed to enjoy things, and it's so true that Lynette has her whole chest out, but it's too scandalous for Lyney to show shoulders and an inch of thigh. What's even worse is that other women are pulling the same shit scrotes are with the whole pedo/femboy schtick.

No way they could do a similar thing with Dottore, though also didn't know he's 400+ years old too. Are all the top Harbingers so old.
They sorta 'Crow-ed' him hahaha, though he got his shitty personality back when he got his memories back.

I'm honestly right in the middle, not tall, not short, so I just pick whichever looks the most like me and do a fanfic in my mind while playing, that character is also the girl that's surrounded by all of my husbandos in the teapot.

I was today years old when I realized Ayato's burst boosts normal attack which is perfect for Scara to infuse hydro and get extra %20 damage at talent lvl 8. So far Scara, Zhongli (gives extra %20 attack and tenacity shreds) with Ayato's burst but who's in 4th slot?
No benny or Frauzan since both kill the momentum, want someone with a long skill or burst to support him some more.
>>268109Yaoi is more often than not drawn by women for women, when men draw gay porn, even if chara is feminine/twinkish they still draw them more muscline and always diss female artists whenever they can bc women draw them with beautiful features even if it sacrifices a bit of the character's muscline features.

You go search for examples yourself, majority of artists are on Twitter, make an account, follow them and occasionally check it.
>but you sure you're not projecting
Shizo this shizo that, meds this meds that, projecting this projecting that. Even if you want to correct me you don't have to be this condenseding, calm your tits.
I put my replies in a spoiler because it doesn't have anything to do with Genshin and I don't want to derail the thread, but I've had it with this hugbox mentality, it's okay to have a different points than the one you have you know, so there is no point even to go to another thread and discuss the BL/Yaoi/Bara subject because you'll rain the meds/shizo/projecting trio instead.

It doesn't matter what scrotes do, the characters themselves aren't the problem and it's a weird fucking thing to sperg over.

Diluc is unironically one of my favorite boys, his style is cool, I like his lore and he has a nice personality, I'm sure that if mihoyo wasn't full of cowards and we got some romantic content we would have a tsundere Diluc blushing over silly stuff.
Kaeya is beautiful as well, his design is amazing, of course I love his boob window and his pretty eyes, his voice is delicious to listen to in any language and his lore is probably one of the most interesting things of this game, his personality is really nice too, him being all flirty and cool is seriously the best thing ever.
I love Albedo because he's cute, he has an interesting lore and a sweet personality tbh, I like how weird he can be
Mostly because he eats spiders can you imagine how practical that would be at home? And quiet characters are always something nice, specially since he can be smug from time to time.

I said this before, zhongli was ruined from the start because guizhong was always part of his lore so I never got attached to him. However, the problem is that they somehow managed to make guizhong worse than she was in the minds of the fans. I never liked her but a gentle, elegant and mature lady wearing proper traditional clothes is still better than a waifufag's wet dream with the crotch almost out. Even madame ping here

>>268879I feel you, I never really thought of Zhongli as a husbando, but mostly because he somehow isn't my type tbh, he's hot but I don't know, I don't really like him as a husbando.
I feel bad for the nonnies and women in general that fell for him, like it's easy to write a story saying that he doesn't really love her, that it was forced, that they broke up and they won't go back together, and many more cope stories.
Having a previous love interest is a pretty neat way to make him feel a bit more approachable and less like a really powerful god that's very quiet and never feels silly human emotions.
But bringing her back, even as a flashback is shitty and obviously some cope because surely a bunch of moids got mad at mihoyo for letting Zhongli (totally not China's god) be close to a few guys in the game or because how dare mihoyo not give Zhongli a waifu since moids seem to think they can be Zhongli.
I would even accept a ship for Zhongli if it was with Ningguang because she's beautiful and even though I prefer Ningguang with Beidou, she looks great with Zhongli too.
I don't see how Zhongli would get along with a childish, pantless anime girl.

Now that this version is close to ending, what is your rating out of 10?

Probably
>>268919Agreed, the things I enjoyed in Mondstadt and Liyue stopped appearing in future quests, even the events based off of both aren't as good
Kinda off topic and call me retarded but I liked it better when the jade chamber was sacrificed. I was happy when we got a way to rebuild it but it was so simple compared to how hard it was to build it the first time.

>>268970You've got a point those do suck, especially 2.5
But none of these version dropped my expectations because I(or anyone) never cared for Shenhe's story and interlude chapter was kind of forced and repetitive, Raiden 2nd story was crap but this one had the most anticipated character, I was kinda let down. Not to mention the caliber of limited event should've been like last year's Albedo, stands on its own and supports lore really nicely. This year's was fanservice-y; interacting with characters and all that but it had nothing, the trailer mislead everyone with it's spoopy atmosphere,but all it was was a Japanese racket with a tired trope. Even the ping-pong was boring af.
I swear I'm not salty that we didn't get an Albedo/mondstadt event but at this point if you one shot everything/explored everything only lore can keep you playing.
Now that we're getting new area, hope we get a side quest like one with daughter/dad that I forgot their name.

I’m sad Tighnari is voiced by a woman in Japanese. I really like his English dub and how sarcastic he sounds, in jp he sounds too much like a wise little boy and that’s really bland to me.

>>269014Yeah this patch felt long to me, not particularly bad though. I did find the Scara story a bit disappointing but enjoyed that a whole patch and interlude chapter was about a male character. But when you compare the limited events to an Albedo event then yeah this patch feels bleak.
I do think we’ve gone so far into the Albedo lore that they can’t continue it without an archon or interlude quest discussing Gold or Alice. We literally saw that the evil Albedo might still be alive. Just like so Venti said, Albedo can lose control and destroy Mondstadt. The evil Albedo is definitely going to do that in an archon quest or interlude quest. Defeating him will be difficult and either Alice or Gold will be contacted.
No. 269049
>>268879I basically feel the same. Zhongli is my favorite character by far and I basically have a crush on him but I don’t really view him romantically because he acts like a detached ancient god and like his divine wife from 1000 years ago will be his only love in life. I would adore flashbacks with her because I think their bits of lore are already really touching, but I hate how instead of looking like a mature, elegant Chinese goddess she looks like a pouting Lumine knockoff or like she’s from some generic anime idol game or whatever, it just seems weird for her.
>>269044Yeah some of the guys look exactly like 10 year old boys and they sound and act weirdly infantilized too. “U-uwu don’t p-pet my ears, I’m blushing desu…”
At least there are still some decent male characters that look, sound, and act like adults though. And some of the teen model guys still sound and act their age like Kazuha is fairly normal IMO in voice and mannerisms even if he has the cutesy baby cartoon appearance.
No. 269052
>>269038Just to disclaim, I’m not trying to talk about the age sperging now, just voice acting.
Yeah, I don’t like when even the younger boys are voiced by women and I think it sounds bad no matter the language. I know it’s a staple in anime but it doesn’t sound like a young boy voice at all to me and I clock it instantly. Can’t take the character seriously at all after that, it breaks the immersion for me because I keep hearing a woman when they open their mouth. I guess it’s done because younger teens can’t voice act for shit and it’s maybe because they don’t want underage people to work (but idk, there’s loads of younger actors) but it always makes me cringe.

I got Alhaitham. Game was rude and made me go to 90 rolls but I won the 50/50 so that's nice.

>>269267Alhaithem is a bit clunky with the need to strategize his mirrors but he's really strong with any electro.
The fact I won 50/50 makes me happy but I think I'm officially feeling burned out. I'll ditch Genshin until fountaine drops but I'll lurk around to see some nice fanarts

Nonnies I wanna an hero. I didn't get Alhaitham. I was saving up for him for about half a month. I'm so disappointed it makes me wanna drop genshin because there's no way I can save up another around 70 wishes I'm missing to get hard pity during the exam season where I have to study. And I'm poor. I'm tired of playing with waifubait shit and shotas. I'm so disappointed and salty nonnies, I can't bear it. My friend got him, she has almost all the bishies while I only have Kaeya.
If I only lost him to someone like Tighnari but noo I got Keqing instead. I wanted the dendro Keqing, not the electro one.

No. 270705
>>270704>>270700You can get approx 11 intertwineds from event, 5 from shop not counting the primos so maybe there is hope? He doesn't have to appear at pity. Even if you were rich don't buy the in game currency, it's too expensive for no good reason.
>>270702Her burst is like Itto's, slap everything kek, is she for Vape/melt or just Pyro?

>>270705>is she for Vape/melt or just Pyro? her kit is so fucked at this moment that nobody knows. She won't work with burgeon so not a dendro team comp. She doesn't stand out as a good vape dps either. Don't know about monopyro teams though.
>Is this baby worth breaking the "no 4 star wishing on a 5 star's banner you don't want"?I'm feeling the same way, I really don't need a physical damage support but he's too cute
No. 270716
>>270705Probably vape, given she scales with HP so 2x hydros will benefit her. She seems like an interesting DPS + tank hybrid, she maybe can help mitigate the need for Zhongli in teams.
Also apparently we're going to get fates for having beaten Archon quests in 3.5. 22 or so rainbow fates for whatever you want.

>>270716she seems like complete garbage actually,
unironically worse than thoma in both damage in damage mitigation. the 5 star xinyan meme is real. i've been watching the scrote meltdown over just how hard mihoyo threw her kit for the past few days and laughing. they deserve this, dehya is fucking ugly.

I'm sitting here counting what's a reasonable number of wishes on a banner for Mika, since Baizhu is on the patch afterwards and I have won 2 50/50s and I don't think I'll be lucky with him kek
I think 20 max wishes is okay? He looks so cute and that stumble
>>270704 is so adorable
>>270716>going to get fates for having beaten Archon quests Approx 22 wishes? Not that I mind of course but Why the sudden generosity?

I’m feeling burnout as well. I’m going to take a break after I get the free Lisa skin until the next map expansion ( I’ll scream if it’s more desert)
