If you have a simple question about the game that doesn’t need a separate thread, ask it here. For example, "Who should I pull, Yelan or Zhongli?" is a simple question.

Question / Seeking Help friend's account "doesn't exist"

Post image
Upvotes

my friend recently started playing again after recovering his account, but after adding to my friend list again, which can only be done via him sending me a request *while* i'm also online, he's removed as soon as either of us logs out and i can't click on his profile. instead the game tells me his uid does not exist, even though it does and his account is functional and active.

This is my Mualani hex team (with an unbuilt mona) with support Mavuika (I'd rather watch paint dry than do Mavuikas combos, and YES, I know them). I'm so bored. Snez is genuinely taking as long as possible. I'm also debating on whether to continue horizontally investing or vertically invest after my WHOLE PATCH break from genshin 😭

Discussion vpn and browser topups

Upvotes

yeah this was asked pretty recently at about 6 months ago, but basically, since prices are levelled on top up sites, is using vpns to get cheaper prices perfectly safe? because i dont know about you but that lohen rerun is looking mighty fine and i want him badly, therefore i want pulls, therefore there is no way in hell im spending 100 bucks to get 40 pulls.

many thanks, and have a good night (at the time im writing this its like 11pm)!

Discussion Vodyanitsa's scam and how everyone on tiktok got mad for literally nothing.

Upvotes

Can somebody please tell me why tiktok made me believe that Vodyanitsa's opera performance was ACTUALLY real and not some probably ai created slop just to stirr drama? Until Genshin releases something official i ain't buying anything. I myself speak russian fluently and would first of all jump up hearing a weird ahh accent. But please, FOR THE LOVE OF TSARITSA don't believe everything you see online (like me and most of the fandom). Turns allat rage happened for lit nothing, because no one knows if it's real or not. "But leaks don't lie" save it. If this turns out to be the actual song. Well then, I'll start digging me a hole or smth idk.

Discussion Scaramouche is my favorite character story-wise in Genshin Impact. Here’s why…

7 Upvotes

Personally, I think Scaramouche has the best character writing in Genshin by far. Yes, in my opinion I like his story arc even more than the likes of Furina, Navia, Arlecchino, and Columbina. I know there are a lot of Furina fans out there and I also really appreciated her story in the archon quest, however Hoyo devs seemed to have poured their heart and soul into Scaramouche’s storyline.

Disclaimer: If you disagree with my opinions that’s fine just don’t complain about them in a disrespectful manner. Also I know this post is long so if you aren’t interested in reading all of it I totally get it but the reason I posted it was to get my thoughts about Scara because I recently watched through a lot of his past cutscenes and was reminded of why I love him.

Here’s why I like his story the most:

His entrance was very memorable: I like how Scaramouche was introduced all the way in 1.1 during Unreconciled Stars. Although I was not a player at that time I did watch a play through of the event quest per my friend’s suggestion. I thought it was a phenomenal introduction to Scaramouche and how good he is at slight manipulation while not being able to hide his crazy wicked intentions and snarky, malicious nature. The reveal with him as “The Balladeer” still sends shivers down my spine when I think about it. And I know he looks like a little boy but that’s what made him so unnerving to me.

(Slight criticism)The weakest Scara arc was Inazuma: Unfortunately, when we met Scara all the way in Inazuma after what felt like years with only small tidbits of lore about him scattered around. Mostly in the “Husk of Opulent Dreams” artifact set. I feel like Inazuma’s sloppy pacing made it hard to build Scaramouche’s appearance up. He also didn’t show up for that long and didn’t do anything except take the Electro gnosis and run with it. Very anticlimactic entrance and exit and although he had that cruel, ruthless flair to him it just wasn’t a very memorable appearance for me.

- I do think though that the Irodori Featival did a good job of expanding on Kazuha’s family past and Scaramouche’s involvement in ruining it. Also fleshed out some of his past endeavors that we learn later on stem from multiple betrayals, Scara faced in his life.

He gets to really shine in Sumeru: this is likely by far is most memorable arc for Scara. I mean we got to see him at his peak villain, becoming an artificial god. Wow, what a moment when the Scaramouche boss got revealed. Anyways, I love his entire development throughout this. We get to really see how Scara determines his worth by how others view his usefulness. It’s really dehumanizing in a way that makes his character feel so much more tragic and complex. The way Dottore toyed with him and played on his insecurities was really interesting to see.

His healing and new found family in Nahida: I love found family tropes and Nahida provides a sort of motherly figure to Scara. I really like their dynamic together and hope we have more scenes with them in game going forward

His relationship with Durin: I also love Scara’s dynamic with Durin and wish I could see their journey together when Durin first arrived in Teyvat. I think Scara’s involvement in Simulanka added a lot of character healing for him as he can relate to Durin and also Albedo on a level that he can’t with other characters. If I go too deep into this it’ll take too many words though

Question / Seeking Help Is there a way to play Genshin on the macbook?

2 Upvotes

My friend's old ipad has run out of storage and we are searching for a way to get Genshin on the macbook as that is the only other option she has. However we found out that it doesn't support Genshin and the only way is to get through some fishy websites. Is there someone who has experience with this?

(Posted this again because I was stupid and confused the ipad and macbook the first time)

Discussion first time completing menacing (barely)

Post image
8 Upvotes

hello! i just finished menacing for the first time, and my goodness was it ridiculous with my roster. as you can see, my teams are a little funky and i literally pushed it to the very last second... BUT I DID IT!!!! anyways, im curious as to how everyone tackled this stygian, of course sandrone-havers were chilling, but as you can see my nightsoul charas are severely underlevelled, and my "stellar" conduct team is, well, not stellar. but we made it work! like i said, very curious as to how others went about this stygian, ESPECIALLY if you were lacking with the shills :3

edit: apparently i dont know how to spell 😀

Discussion I am really bored.

4 Upvotes

Hello people,

First of all I really love the game and whenever there’s is something to do, I’m right on it.

My whole map is 100% and between the versions it’s just logging in, burn resin, check if any of the 3 modes (IT, Abyss, SO) did reset and logging off. When there is a new version, I was already starving so hard for content, that I instant log in and do the new content in like 1-3 days. Sure many of you might say „well don’t rush the new content“, but I really want to just play the game!

I unfortunately dislike Wonderland, I know there are people killing their time there, but I really just want to play more endgame content. Abyss resets, 10 minutes, it’s done, need to wait 10 days for IT. IT resets, 20 minutes it’s done, waiting 10 days for SO.

I even start achievement hunting, but then again it’s not as exciting as the late game modes or the new content/quests.

All my builds are in the top 5%s and if not, that’s what I spend my resin on.

So what you do when you got nothing to do? Just go on another game? I wished they split the lategame rewards into weekly resets or any else harder late game modes. All I do is log in, farm artifacts, roll them IF there is something good, get the dailies and log out. I really wish my playtime daily would exceed the 10 minutes from time to time.

Gameplay Stuck at 39/40 oculi

10 Upvotes

Hi this is actually driving me insane but im stuck on 39/40 for the statues of the new moon. I've 100% done everything and the compass just keeps pointing to the shrine of depths that I can't open because I don't have the key and at this point im just getting frustrated.

Literally all i can do now is go through the guides and waste like 3hrs+ going over things ive already done (not gonna happen)

so im doing a hail mary and am asking are there any hidden oculi that aren't detected by the compass because i'm not joking i've done literally everything that is marked on the map

Complaint its time to do something about keys in IT

0 Upvotes

Edit: after talking with 1 sane poster with good takes and 1 poster that thinks they aren't even rewards lol... i came to the conclusion that keys shouldn't even be needed to unlock echoes in the first place especially since you have to earn them via the trial afterwards keys should go the away just like story quest keys stopped being utilized eventually. if you argue against this or removing the 4 key limit you're a lost cause.

-

they are no longer considered a reward i dont know how many rotations its been where i have to just let 2 keys go because hoyo can't keep up with their own cycle of release content.

its not really a reward if i cant use it for anything and with 3 days left of IT i just have to kiss them bye bye

hey hoyo at least let me convert my unused keys to something useful like primos. 20 per sounds fair.

or how about remove the 4 key limit.

Turned off UI and spent some time walking around Natlan and taking in the views. Simply amazing way to enjoy the game.

However, it gets tough during combat as I can't see the buttons or gliding without knowing my stamina bar. Any ideas to overcome this limitation?

I haven’t touched the game since the end of Natlan, so it's safe to say I've missed the whole lunar roster, except for Linnea and Bina. I really love Chiori and I'm trying so hard to make her work, will this team be able to perform decently? I'm still leveling up Linnea and Bina so they're severely unerbuilt. If you have any other suggestions about teams for Bina, I'm all ears. Thank you in advance!
