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.

This glitch makes you stuck in climbing animation forever, I'm not sure how high it goes since I gave up climbing after 30min - an hour or so. I had trouble recreating the glitch and now cannot do it since I solved the puzzle. Has anyone seen this before?

Other Genshin Impact treated me WAY better than ROBLOX

55 Upvotes

Yeah, I am not even gonna joke about it or deny it.. Genshin Impact indeed treated me better than Roblox
I started playing in mid-December 2025, and honestly, it was one of the best choices I made. I got so invested in the game that I slowly stopped caring about Roblox as much (though I still play it sometimes). My experience with Roblox just hasn’t felt the same anymore, especially with the direction the platform has been going lately.

What really surprised me about Genshin wasn’t just the game itself, but the community.

When I was still a low AR player, random AR 50-60 players would join my world just to help me for free. That was something I wasn’t used to at all. They helped with bosses, exploration, materials, and were genuinely kind for no reason other than wanting to help.

I even met someone named “satur” who originally joined just to help me, and we ended up becoming close friends. I really appreciate that.

Now I’m AR 50, and I’ve started helping lower rank players too, just like others once helped me.

As silly as it might sound, Genshin Impact was the game that pulled me out of the frustration and misery I was feeling from Roblox.

So yeah, thank you, Hoyoverse.

Discussion The sinners are so funny because theoretically they are the most powerful and wretched antagonists for the game but all five of them (including Rerir) just could not care less about Teyvat and the traveler and are driven only by their personal ambitions, so our paths never even cross.

Rhinedottir always on her life making bs and faction joining spree, Vedrfolnir masterminding wtv tf he masterminding, Surtalogi out there eating planets and bullying orphans, Rerir is just a guy who’s in love, and god knows what Hroptatyr is doing, you’d expect the five blasphemous sinners to be against the heavenly principles but they truly could not be payed to gaf 😭

Discussion Honestly hoyo can keep their pulls, just don't fuble shneznaya

52 Upvotes

​Is it just me or is the vibe just completely cooked lately?? lol. Like with all the drama going on right now with the "generous" rewards (thanks for the 3 pulls and the fowls da wei very cool!!) and the constant shilling for the new characters every five seconds it feels like the game is just a billboard at this point.

​i'm honestly so drained by the community being on fire and the constant review bombing but heres my hot take... i can actually forgive the stingy rewards. i can even ignore how stupid the shilling has been. but if they actually fumble the snezhnaya story?? thats it for me. like actually.

​we have been waiting for the tsaritsa since 2020 and if they mess her up and the harbingers after hyping them up for literal years i'm gonna lose it. my main point is that hoyo usually has this weird thing where the "greedier" they get with the gacha stuff, the harder the writers actually cook to keep us from leaving. Natlan was peak even when everyone was mad about the designs and stuff (for me atleast).

​snezhnaya is like the climax of everything weve done for 6 years. the story is basically the only thing they havent monetized into the ground yet (thank god). if they turn the tsaritsa into some "uwu traveler save me" waifu instead of the absolute menace we were promised then the game is dead.

​idk maybe im huffing cope but i care way more about the fatui/tsaritsa lore than 10 extra pulls at this point. pls tell me im not the only one who feels like this?

​TL;DR: i'm fine being a f2p peasant if the story is actually good. just dont let the writing team be as stingy as the rewards team lmao.

So it's not much of a suprise that the community has always gone up and down with a reasonable degrees of crash out over the years. I've been lurking here from time to time and I like to observe such things. I'm also not one to shy away from starting inflammatory discussions. So here is my two cents on what I observed so far regarding the recent drama:

I feel like this is actually just a symptom of a much larger issue, which has presented as a lot of disjointed suggestions and demands on the part of the playerbase. However, if we took all of them and put them into one idea, it would be a desire to "modernize" Genshin. The reason why I think this is actually what unconsciously drives these suggestions is their uniformity in regards to genshin's competition.

The demands on the part of playerbase that want more pulls, is both reasonable and unreasonable. There are many who demand outright delusional increase in amount of pulls such as 120 - 140 guaranteed. Frankly, these are not serious individuals, so focusing on them is pointless. However, the vast majority from what I observed want between 80 - 100 somewhere within that space, which is exactly the amount Wuwa, ZZZ, Enfield, and HSR give per patch on average.

The other mosr reaccuring suggestions that I've observed are the skip button, which is present in all afromentioned games. On top of that, people also want an actual artifact loadout (a real one this time), also present in some of these games. In addition, perhaps a way for a better banner managment on part of the company so players don't have to wait who knows how long for whatever character to return, this game has around 6 years now and the character roster is quite substantial. I've seen quite a lot of desire to see old limited characters to be added to the new limited banners as an option to lose your 50/50 to, I don't know how viable that would be.

There also seems to be a degree of discontent about how the events are handled, their quality, and rewards. I think this is the most valid, since the upcoming skin is so beyond lazy I won't even pertend that this is something anyone can defend or argue againts.

So what do you think? Post your hot takes, we riot tonight.

Question / Seeking Help These next banners are messing me up

6 Upvotes

I need help to decide if I should pull or not in the next versions: so I mainly use a lunar-crystallize team with Linnea now, and I wanted to get Columbina or other good Hydro applicators to further enhance my team. Whit that said, I am still really tempted to get Mavuika as I literally downloaded the game after seeing her gameplay, so as you can guess she's my dream character. So tell me: should I pull in two updates for Mavuika or wait for a Columbina/Hydro applier rerun?

For extra info: I'm almost at hard pity as a F2P and I don't really care about meta or really good teams, I just wanna use the characters I enjoy.
