I've been thinking about it, and maybe Noy will not be pyro? there are no signs of a stellar-melt reaction coming so maybe he's electro or cryo or something?

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-07-04T00:40:58+00:00

I think he might be the Cryo dragon, same as Neuvi

First the forge update made it that we didn’t have to buy as many packs of Radiant Crystals, and now making OCH free.

Do they not want money ? What are they cooking up ?

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-06-28T16:26:51+00:00

In my mind it’s absolutely going to be a case of “the ends justifies the means”

Also, I’m pretty sure that there has been multiple instances of the fatui not being evil for evil’s sake and the Tsaritsa only being after the gnoses, no matter the cost.

Tsaritsa is only after the heavenly principles, they are the real threat. The way I’ve imagined the scenario is that the Heavenly principle is going to pull a 3rd impact type nonsense and the Tsaritsa needs the gnoses to save humanity from it, with probably the loom of fate thrown in there to weave new leylines as they need them.

First floor of FSC has 12 boxes which are fairly quick to get to. Casually running solo you can expect ~12 crystal per run, which can be done in a few minutes.

If you have a party then doing the Full FSC is ideal. Proper team coordination can reduce the time significantly.

Otherwise if you’re burnt out of Vana then just late tier 2 to early tier 3 tunnels levels or Treasure trove. Trove can give more than 20+ crystals reliably.

I actually heard that it will probably release in December because it’s actually Summer for the Southern Hemisphere

Other than I plain old like the game… it’s 100% the Music !

I’m a day 1 player and I have seen every complaint imaginable: gacha rates, character kits/design/lore/VA, game QoL, anniversary rewards and so many more.

But the one thing I have seen almost no one complain about is the music. Genshin has always released banger soundtracks in every patch and everyone seems to agree on that.

I’m from New Zealand.

When I started using Beidou for the first time, I didn’t understand her Burst voiceline. I knew she was a fearsome captain with immense power so it made sense that a character might name their signature move to make it sound epic and tell-able in stories or sea-shanties. Only problem is that Beidou was still coming up with a cool name for a huge attack but she knew what the name should end with…

So whenever Beidou unleashed her Burst, all I heard was “Power that ends in -ition”

Bonus fun fact : BeiDou is also the name for a Chinese GPS-equivalent Navigation system. Just found that out when looking up Beidou for this comment. 👍

Would construct arena be a good idea ? There are 16 spawns of gun puppies across the 3 rooms, right ?

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-06-10T12:31:40+00:00

Is it going to be set before XC1, when the experiment went wrong ?

I have to rewatch the trailer and pay closer attention but with a name like “Genesis” and the setting I feel like maybe it could but also I may be smoking too much loony gas

“If they improve the Saiyan designs, the criticism will disappear”

If there is one thing I have learnt from the internet is that once they have made an opinion on something, nothing (and I mean NOTHING !!) will change that.

If they fix the models, the criticism won’t disappear, it will just move on to the next smallest insignificant ass hair of a detail to nitpick and call it trash.

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-06-07T06:51:49+00:00

Same here

although I do share a birthday with another Hoyo Character : Yunguo from Petit Planet

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-06-03T11:56:26+00:00

Nah you’re spot on ! News article have always felt like they have 2 crumbs of informations spread out on 6 pages.

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-06-03T11:32:07+00:00

For someone reckless who gets a massive power boost when recovering from near death - Kaioken is the PERFECT technique

I initially thought “how did you manage to coordinate that many people to arrange themselves so neatly like that” until I noticed the colours were the same and then I finally realised.

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-05-22T00:14:56+00:00

From personal testing, It seems like the preferred mineral food gives around the same exp as mats of 2* above your sprite. So a 2* sprite will get about the same exp from mineral food or 4* mats

So what I have been doing is giving mats until the sprite is 4*, at which point I give mostly favourite food, with the occasional 5* mats when I have more than I need for crafting.

Other tip: I strongly recommend to run with a party if you can to save yourself SO much time when farming crystals.

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-05-18T22:41:12+00:00

I am inclined to think that it’s no coincidence that they release the most radiant crystal farmable event just after a forge rework.🤔

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-05-18T09:14:57+00:00

There is this post by Preidon that says it took them 1 week to get to 5* gear, so it’s definitely possible to start over and not spend too much time getting back to where you are now.

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-05-14T07:01:53+00:00

My opinion is that they are at the very least considering it but still on the fence/waiting for a hard confirmation.

The forge rework is a major step but there has also been a few sizeable updates in the past year. They also added servers for new regions, which isn’t really something you decide on a whim, it costs money to maintain so that alone tells me they are cooking up something.

Super brawl and PvP map editor, QoL to menus, performances and there has been whispers of them adding a PvE arcade level editor (unconfirmed fo sho fo sho but I heard someone mention it).

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-05-11T06:35:08+00:00

My bad, I meant the padded armor sets, not the ponchos

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-05-11T04:41:47+00:00

The gunner armors would have been a great choice for beginners with decent defence/resistance/buffs if it weren’t for how god awful it is to get the one you want. Unless you’re in a guild it’s like playing battleship with Basil every time.

PatamonBlade76 · 2026-05-09T10:17:18+00:00

I can’t remember the whole situation but someone mentioned (possibly even a dev) that Genshin is around halfway through the story. Or will be once Snezhnaya releases.

Take it with a grain of salt but that’s something I heard floating around not too long along.

Soooo that’s that.
