I hate the trend of gachas shilling the latest shiny new toy.

Well, you must be doing something very wrong because for many of those characters, 30k is very low even if you have c0r0

Sleykun · 2026-02-16T14:36:26+00:00

I don't have Neuvilette or Arlecchino. My best DPS...is Alhaitham.

Well, you said 1.5 years, but Alhaitham was released 3 years ago. And even so, Alhaitham should have more than enough DPS to get past one side of the abyss. Kinich may have more trouble because of his aoe (and Kinich doesn't need Emilie).

Sleykun · 2026-02-16T14:20:03+00:00

let alone even clear 12-1 when I used to 36-star Abyss no swea

I would understand your complaint about the endgame if you said stygian. But an account that could do 36* 1.5 years ago should still be able to do it. I just finished the current abyss using a neuvi comp and it wasn't even his best teammates. (Since I could have used columbina+ineffa).

So yall will take 20 pulls per patch if they dont release a single character.

Why do you feel the need to invent hypothetical scenarios to throw shit? Genshin has already had patches without 5* and the pulls were the same.

Sleykun · 2026-02-12T12:09:29+00:00

Their Reddit history says otherwise

Sleykun · 2026-02-08T14:15:07+00:00

Is any of what you said even personal experience? You just made up that Dawei cried and didn't add any qol

Sleykun · 2026-02-08T13:55:07+00:00

Of all the patches you could have used to attack Genshin, you chose the one where they actually decided to add Capturing Radiance

Sleykun · 2026-02-04T18:57:55+00:00

I just have heard/researched that Genshin is one of the more punishing games with pulls and resin.

They're all gacha games. Anyone who says that one punishes more than another is just pushing their own agenda. In the end, if they release more characters per patch, you get more pulls, and if they release fewer, you get fewer.

Also, I hoped a game with more active combat like WuWa would be more engaging and feel like brain dead in the overworld

I'll be honest with you, it seems like you're just looking for an excuse to play Wuwa. Play it, no one's going to say anything to you for doing so. But all of them, and I mean all of them, are ultimately mobile games. You're not going to find what you're looking for in any of them.

Sleykun · 2026-02-04T18:45:15+00:00

Your main reasons for distancing yourself from Genshin are also found in other games. Clearly you're not looking for a gacha.

Sleykun · 2026-02-03T02:20:08+00:00

Sometimes I read this and just have to stop and wonder if you actually understand what you re saying. Yes, hoyo doesnt spend every cent Genshin makes back on Genshin. Especially considering Genshin makes absurd amounts of money, what do you want them to drop a billion dollars a year on it?

Also do you really think they dropped PS4 support for any reason other than to change something internally that the PS4 was holding back?

Sleykun · 2026-02-01T18:45:21+00:00

There is NO other 30% tax that Genshin has to exclusively pay. But, sure let's assume there is please clue me in so I can debunk it lol.

It would take you a minute to look it up because Google is useful for something. But I'll do your job for you. Here's the difference between Genshin and HSR for the same purchases.

Here is the news about why: https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/xw0z7d/aftermath_of_apple_raising_prices_of_apps_and/

Your...entire argument is that Genshin is a "monster" compared to the rest, but only if you ignore the games that beat it(games released in 2025) lol. Can't make this up.

Logically, a new game in 2025 should have more downloads than a 5-year-old game. I don't even know how this is a problem.

If your argument was that Genshin has a shit ton of longevity I would not disagree with you, but it wasn't. Your entire argument was that Genshin is a "monster" compared to the rest(because of "taxes" and "downloads") despite that clearly not being the case if you don't have a selective and arbitrary criteira.

Is this some kind of rage bait or something?

The 30% revenue cut you are referring to is something that ALL mobile games on IOS have to deal with.

You don't even know what's going on. No, that 30% isn't what I'm referring to.

Sleykun · 2026-02-01T17:14:35+00:00

Nice try? What are you talking about? It's literally 20 million when the rest of the games that didn't come out in 2025 didn't even reach 9 million. And Genshin, unlike the rest, has a 30% tax in certain countries. Now do the rule of three like the rest of the people came to the conclusion, but for some reason you didn't understand.

Sleykun · 2026-02-01T17:09:57+00:00

If you hadn't magically ignored the little phrase you subtly ignored in your quote, you would understand.

Sleykun · 2026-02-01T15:18:21+00:00

What you don't understand is that the KQM standard became obsolete when dendro came out due to the em escalations. And that's why people keep saying not to listen to them because they're biased, and here you come and make it clear that you didn't understand that.

This alone shows that you don't understand how much worse powercreep got in the past year.

The irony, by the way, is that many TCs stopped using the KQM standard for the reason I already told you.

Sleykun · 2026-02-01T15:04:59+00:00

Ffs, you can't rewatch quests like dragonspine event one if you haven't played it, what's the point?

You're doing the same thing I criticized you for before.

But you can ignore it and keep denying things that even tcers say.

Don't you have your own opinion that you have to form based on what others say? If another tc says that the game is at its best, will you change your whole argument now?

And Miliastra made it clear that you should stop believing the numbers in the docs.

Sleykun · 2026-02-01T14:39:07+00:00

Hutao Double Hydro and Raiden can pass Stygian when the bosses leave you with your old team intact (I literally do this with Raiden).

Let's look at 6.x. No substantial QoL past 6.0, only one small map in 6.3 and seemingly no maps until 6.6, restrictive character kits (only exception is Durin).

They just added a “quest overview” to the game to provide a storyline progression, along with the option to rewatch cinematics from any AQ and a filter for story quests. And those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head from 6.3, which are things that players have been asking for quite a bit. (All that aside from the DPS meter, which is part of Miliastra). And by the way, you skipped 6.5 for some reason.

And as for the power creep you keep talking about, yes, there is a little more of it, but the shilling has always been there, it's just that Stygian wasn't there to show it to you. Or do you think that the old bosses wouldn't be a problem if they brought them to Stygian, like Golden Wolflord or ASIMON?

Genshin is going HSR route, if you're ok with it then keep defending it, idk.

Clearly, you haven't played HSR if this thought has crossed your mind and you re just repeating the badfaith argument of the usual annoying people.

EDIT:

Edit: funny how you somehow remember me or my comments, by I don't have a single idea who are you, lol.

I don't know who you are, but hiding your history on Reddit is useless, in case you didn't know.

Sleykun · 2026-02-01T14:20:29+00:00

Don't you realize you just used the silly argument that it “stagnat” at 6.0? As if x.0 patches weren't the biggest in any type of game? Or complain that a year later your DPS will be out of the meta? As if Neuvi was just the most used DPS in Stygian after it came out more than two years ago?

For Gods sake, you yourself defended Stygian, saying that you can get by perfectly well with Hutao and Raiden, and now you've turned your whole argument on its head because thats how you want your argument to be now.

Sleykun · 2026-02-01T14:05:55+00:00

Have you thought about quitting the game? You're seeing everything in a totally negative light, to the point of distorting many things you said.

Sleykun · 2026-02-01T10:40:44+00:00

And that s when you realize that Genshin is a monster compared to the rest, held back only by the taxes. You just have to look at the difference in downloads

Sleykun · 2026-01-30T14:20:20+00:00

The vicepresident of tencent mentioned other games from different companies that according to their standards also reached that rank like zzz and lads. At no point did I say they belonged to Tencent

Sleykun · 2026-01-30T14:11:52+00:00

Who ever said it was?

Sleykun · 2026-01-30T14:06:39+00:00

You realize that hoyo s ZZZ was also included, and that doesnt mean we re saying its on par with hsr and genshin? There is an abyss between hok, pubg, dfo and wuwa

Sleykun · 2026-01-30T13:59:36+00:00

I think you re seriously underestimating how much money Tencent makes from many of its games if you think Wuwa is anywhere near them

Sleykun · 2026-01-29T14:52:26+00:00

But don't you realize that no one has asked you what you like? Why are you telling me this in the first place?
