There's few games that make me feel the way Genshin does when there's new areas to explore. Game is absolute piff

also, if you brehs don't know, you can now edit the shortcut wheel. on PS5 go to Settings > Controller Setup > then press square to configure shortcut wheel.

First thing I did was remove the Wish shortcut and add Party Setup in its place

Also, leaked Yae Miko gameplay:

Bout to make every short cut the wish button.

on less positive news: first wave of changes in accordance to new Chinese censorship rules have already hit. Design changes to Jean, Mona, Amber, Rosaria. Changes will be default and permanent for Chinese server players. They will be optional outfits everywhere else. Chinese players will be compensated with primos.

2.5 beta censorship changes:

• ⁠Xiao has no tattoos
• ⁠Ganyu's back is covered and she has a top garment now
• ⁠Yoimiya has no bandages, changed into kimono
• ⁠Ningguang's dress split has been lowered
• ⁠Raiden's chest has been covered, ult animation changed

unknown if Raiden's ult animation change will be global. Censorship rules will affect character design moving forward.

^2.5 beta censorship changes are yet to be verified. as with all leaks, take with a grain of salt

The design changes to those four weren't too bad.. although I think Mona and Rosaria's new designs are a downgrade.
Jean's design is better


Don't know if I believe the other censorship changes tho

as I said, they haven't been verified, so grain of salt and all. In due time we shall see which, if any more changes happen.

Been exploring Ekonomiya, this shyt is dope man.

Side note, mihoyo gotta be trolling right now.

You need slime materials to level up Itto and ascend his talents. Then in 2.4 they drop a Xiao re-run....you need slime materials to level him up and ascend his talents.

Shenhe, Xiao and Ganyu who is the next re-run also all need qingxin to level them up. I didn't roll for Shenhe but I'm not gonna have enough flowers for Xiao and Ganyu.

And even when I get him Xiao to 90, I have zero slime mats to ascend anything.

Fred.

 

[Slimkid07]

Do you already have Xiao?

If you need straight DPS get Xiao and/or Ganyu.

If you need support get Shenhe and/or Kazuha.

Kazuha would probably be the most "useful" character out of everyone mentioned. Like @Family Lives Matter said he fits into any team comp.

Fred.

Naw, I don't have Xiao. I was thinking about rolling for him. I'm just wondering if I get him or ice chick, could I build up enough gems to get Ganyu and Kazuha afterwards.
21+ days between each run, right?

I need another DPS but Kazuha is a must.

Yeah 3 weeks.

Also keep in mind Kazuha is just a rumor at this point. The leakers are right most of the time but re-run banners are never in the beta so they can change last minute.

If you need a DPS skip Shenhe. She seems good but she's support.

If you're short on gems I'd go for Xiao now. That way you have around 6 weeks to save gems, if they do re-run Kazuha.

If you go for Ganyu, then they add Kazuha, you'll only have 3 weeks to save.

No doubt.

Also my UID is 601068566, add me if you want.

Aight my squad I’m running with are level 60 and consist of C2 Razor, C1 Bennett, C3 Diona, C1 Xingqui, Geo Traveler,

Then I have a few level 50 I’ll throw in the team C1 Mona,C0 Hu Tao, C3 Xianling

Level 40 C0 Raiden Shogun I would like to level her up the most but I haven’t progressed enough in Inzuma to fight anyone who has her shyt to level up yet

Level 37 C4 Ninganng

Then a bunch of characters I don’t use at all level Lisa,Kaeya,Sucrose,QiQi,Aloy,Gorou,Rosaria,Chonhyu,Kujo Sara,Fischl,Barbara,Thoma,Yanfei,

My artifacts highest level are 4 my main characters weapons are level 60 and my world rank is 4 and currently on the mission to level up my adventure rank ascension 3. Currently level 45

Apologies for the long text just wanted to be as thorough as possible and you seem to be the most knowledgeable on this game

 

[Uchiha God]

lol at having Hu Tao, Raiden and Mona and rolling with Razor and Geo Traveler instead

but I do think Mihoyo should rework the ascension system, for instance, if a new player starts today and likes the way ShenHe looks and pulls for her, they'll have to go through hours of quests to unlock the areas and boss fights to ascend her to a competent fighting level
