Part of the problem with these "make the fight harder" events is that the rewards have thus far been rather subpar. Do each fight once for primogems, but after that you're pretty much just getting mora and little else unless you're a collector that just has to have the profile background. The events with shops tend to give you a much better range (and quantity) of rewards, making it more worth your while to play through the event repeatedly and find ways to be more efficient. Instead, it's "increase difficulty for more points" for little reward and "use these characters for more damage", except I don't have those characters so that's a great help.

These events might be good for them pulling data on the player base, they are mostly miserable to play though because like everyone else already said its a whale check.

I kind of enjoy fighting sponges like these, but yes, the rewards are not worth

Max score, yes, absolute cancer, but I don't think getting the minimum amount of points to get all the rewards is that hard. Especially on the ones with more modifiers to choose from. You can just disable the time limit and crank down the HP bloat. Max/high score is just for flexing/ego purposes anyway.

problem is genshin's sponges tend to end up as "haha, you don't have X? well get fucked". you can still beat it, but the effort simply isn't fun, no matter the reward.
and as others said it's a whalecheck, now imagine they start gating primos behind it.

anything does doesn't cost resin is more of a freebie than really "worth" it anyway unless it's the big event of the patch.
I just hope one of the next events is a farm boss again, I need more character exp writs.

ok i take this back the new (event) magu kenki fight is some of the worst boss design ive seen in any game ever. i had to crank shit down far below what I usually can do

With a new Archon quest and new banner coming in tomorrow, we got a Kazuha demo up. It reminded me so much of vintage samurai films. Ngl Japanese version gives a far more genuine experience.

 

[Skips]

The edit on Kazuha's demo was really nice, it's up there with Zhongli's and Hu Tao's

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

I want at least a C1 bennet, but Rosalia and Kazuah will be pretty nice (especially since I don't have Venti).
I guess an ideal Kazuah party will be Bennet, Xingqui and Xiangling? (the latter two for maximum elemental reactions and bennet for healing and resonance).

My favorite will always be the Zhongli one but yeah these are always a nice treat.

I know casual question but for comfy reasons is this game fluid in its controls when using a controller for PC?

define fluid. didn't notice any major input lag, but then I'm not super anal about it anyway. there are instances where movement can become an issue due to animation (you don't stop the millisecond you center the stick) during events where you have to stop on ledges and shit, but for simply moving around and combat it doesn't make a noticeable difference.
for controller you want to use a dualshock or another symmetric one, switching chars is done via d-pad which is a bitch on xbox pads if you want to use the stick at the same time.

I'd say just install it and give it a spin, it's not that big and free after all.

yeah, it's pretty aids. my suspicion is it will get piss easy in coop with even 1 other person then they can be dealt with individually. for solo going by the modifiers it seems their idea is to just burst it down with constant big nukes by swapping chars - which is one of the reasons I hate this kind of shit, if I wanted to do abyss I'd do fucking abyss. and while forcing meta dps checks which are based on RNG (don't have the char/weapon/artefact? too bad, no free shit for you) they still don't have included matchmaking so getting help from people with said chars requires begging on reddit or some shitty discord. it's peak retardation, but at least the primos are easy enough to get in a few seconds.

Yeah, its also on PS4 so making sure controllers work well was probably a priority for them.

I'm on a 360 controllers, and haven't had any issues since 1.1 (back on release the game wouldn't save your controller settings)

I guess I'm done wishing until the next major update.

Nice. Was aiming for Bennet and Rosaria constellations, got 2x Rosaria, 1x Diona, 1x Fav Codex and 1x Razor in 35 rolls (the last Diona and Rosaria were back to back singles)
It seems like a lot of people disagree but if you're super low pity (like from Klee or Eula) I think this is a god tier banner to build pity on. Y'already know they're going to shaft the Inazuma waifus with fuckin Xinyan, Barbara, Xingqiu's 15th banner, Noelle, etc.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Did 20 pulls and got my C1 Bennet so I'm pretty content. Sad I didn't get Rosaria but I completely lack in Spears weapons-wise and unless Kazuah turns out to be god like I'd rather wait for the next batch of characters.

 

[Escampette]

Pulled for Bennet, got him and Rosalia AND Kazuha...I didn't even wanted samouraï boy but I guess it's nice, ain't gonna be lucky in this game anymore tho

 

[Skips]

I pulled for Bennett, got him to C1 but I got Kazuha at like wish 60 so rip my guaranteed pity char

Genshin encounter design seem to shit the bed whenever there's two or more tanky enemies on screen. Dual Maguu Kenki has an annoying tendency to follow up each other's moves and blow up anyone with average HP. I got through it on expert, but only with a lot of abusing I-frames.

I don't mind these events where you choose how difficult the fights are, but they did it best in Energy Amplifier when they at least offered some boosts to compensate for the difficulty spikes. You could play around your team's strengths to make the encounters more reasonable.
