Hey everyone. I have been playing this game since launch with very little breaks between. However, this version is the least active I have ever been, and it is simply saddening. I wanted to list my personal opinions on why that is and just generally want to comment on this version. Sorry for any language mistakes in advance since english is not my first language.

1. Factor: The story experience (or the lack thereof)

In terms of story, what did we get this version? We got

-Yoimiya quest

-Kaveh hangout

-Event story

These quest contribute little to nothing to the overarching story of the game and at this point honestly feel like a chore with how long they take. It's, in my opinion, not fun to sit through hours of dialogue (Which is only increased by paimon repeating everything) only interrupted by the occasional "Walk 50 metres" or "Wait 2 days" objective. This is not fun gameplay. Don't get me wrong, I love the characters and I love the story of the game, but it is supplied in the most monotone and mundane of ways imaginable.

​

2. Factor: The disappointing excuse of a main event

I consider myself a player that actually enjoys the tcg. Always liked card games but centering the whole Version around it? It wasn't even the main event when it first launched. It feels disappointing when looking at some of the great main events we've had in the past and feels like a slap in the face to the players who've been actively supporting the game. The event is literally just "Play cards".

​

3. Factor: The disappointment of divine ingenuity

So, after not playing for some days due to the disappointment of the main event, I come back and see the event divine ingenuity. Then I discover that they've expanded the options a lot, it's no longer just a jump and run. Instantly, so many ideas started forming in my head: "We can finally do damage tests in a controlled area!" "I can finally design fun and challenging combat challenges for my friends to try!". I was overjoyed at the possibilities. That's until I realised, how dumb and broken this system is. My gripes with the system are:

-A very limited selection of enemies

Honestly, the variety of enemies we have at our disposal is a joke. We have like 4 bosses.

-A very limited amount of enemies

I get that this is intended to not cause performance issues but honestly: Can't genshin candle more than like 8 normal enemies on screen? And also, if you're concerned about lower end devices, just limit the amount of enemies on the screen at once, not the total number of enemies per area.

-Very limited customization of the enemies

This speaks for itself. Beyond a special effect for a few enemies and a very limited range of levels, you can change nothing about them.

-You cannot use your own builds

Who? Who came up with this idea? Trial characters are there for newer players so how hard would it have been to include an option for "Players can use their own builds"? And before you say that you can just give them some xp to level them up, their talents are still at level 8 and you cannot let them use your artifacts. This limits the potential so incredibly much it's dumb.

However, my biggest issue with the event is the following:

-When the event ends, all your domains disappear and cannot be played.

Even when they inevitably bring back the event some versions down the road. you cannot access your old domains? Why not? This makes all the effort that goes into building a domain seem utterly pointless. Honkai star rail literally got the feature to play old events after it's first version. And if you're concerned about the space the event takes up on mobile devices, here's a crazy thought: Make it optional.

​

​

Overall, this version feels like the most filler version we've ever gotten and is not fun to play on at the moment. So many issues that could be easily fixed simply aren't being fixed and it is incredibly frustrating.

Thank you for listening to my little rant about this version. Please, feel free to state your own opinion on the version, everyone can learn form everyones opinions.

Sincerely,

A loyal ar 60 player annoyed by the state of this version.
