Fully leveled! I haven't used it yet, but this thing is hilarious

 

[Marqus]

It seems tailor-made for Beidou. I just can't bring myself to use it. I can't see myself swinging around a giant fish over my Wolf's Gravestone or Serpent's Spine. Those claymore look awesome.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Is cross-play officially out? Since its been awhile, who plays on what and do we get together and explore or domains and stuff? It's oddly fun to just run around with others with no goal.

 

[Anathema]

I think crossplay has been a thing for a bit now, but I'm not exactly sure...

That being said, I play on PS5.

 

[TetsuKobura]

Cross-save has been out since Version 2.0, so now those with a main account on PlayStation can now play on PC/Mobile, provided they link their account.

That being said, cross-server is unfortunately still not a thing yet, so those on the NA server can't play with those on the EU or AS servers.

Cross Play got added with Inazuma I believe, certainly been that way for a while as I play sometimes with a few PC players and my other account on the PS4.

ATTENTION: If you want the free 'mogems' the live stream for Version 2.2 is happening this Sunday (2pm my time in UK) so make sure to logon quick after the stream to get them!

 

[Silent Drifter]

I know there was Cross Play back in February, luckily I had a video of it, so when ever version that was. Not sure if it was available after you unlock the coop feature or not. But I was playing with some friends when they were on PS4, while I was on PC at that time. Just cant cross play from different servers sadly. Cross Save between PC/mobile and PS4 came on V2.0

Xiangling looks a little smug in this dialogue.

I like that picture, one thing I've been hoping I wish there was an option we could hide the dialogue when in a cutscene if we wanted to take pictures similar to what they do in the Gensou Wanderer Touhou game.

Maybe that'll be something in the update, who knows.

I'll be streaming the cooking festival event tomorrow after the Live Stream for 2.2 and I think I'll do an audio commentary this time since all the big story events are complete however wish me 'luck' on grinding for talent books since I now need Gold Books for getting my main group's talents up to 8 as have the boss materials just need 18 golds books for each skill set.

[Silver_Wolf]

Well thanks to a random SOS for HELP during my stream yesterday I now have all the materials to finish levelling up
Sara as the SOS was fighting Thunder Manifestation boss.

So I have her at 60 at the moment but by end of today she should be 70 and maybe 80 if the materials work out.

Can I ask what artifact set @Silent Drifter @TetsuKobura you both have her for her at present as I'm unsure if I should stick with Nobilese Obilige or switch her to a Thunder set?

 

[TetsuKobura]

I don’t have Sara built at all, but ideally you’d want either the Emblem of Severed Fate 4 piece or the Noblesse 4 piece.
ATK Sands / Electro goblet, Crit rate circlet.

Well I have both sets now so I shall apply them tonight, just got to finish 'flower' grind to get her to 80 and just two talents to finish to get those up to 6 so she should be all set to join the main team after today.

 

[Silver_Wolf]

I won the 50/50 for her, and now the grind to get her leveled up. Should have started grinding those Sceptres a lot sooner, but I find them annoying to fight. She is level 72, with talents at 1/5/5, and her artifacts are all at 0. Also have her weapon, so I need to level that up too. Once the grind is done with her, I need to keep fighting those Sceptres for Aloy. I think I just need talents levels for her, so it shouldn't be too bad. Right now my party is Raiden Shogun, Kujou Sara, Sangonomiya Kokmoi, and Sayu. Not an ideal party, but I'm working on friendship levels. Kamisato Ayaka just hit friendship 10 tonight!

Well I just wanted to let you know that you were not alone in finding the Sceptres 'annoying'

I started the 'prep' work for a live levelling up of Kokomi for the new update stream tomorrow and I came across a group of 3 of the Hydro examples whilst following the farm trail of their locations and man I could not break the three of them apart for over an hour so they kept managing to regen their health, eventually got them but both Yanfei and Eula died twice during the battle.

Probably won't be able to finish her 'talent's until Thursday and she might not be full level 80/80 during the stream but it will be close.

My main party will then form Eula, Sara, Kokomi and Yanfei
Second party will be Amber, Beidou, Noelle and the Traveller.

Next characters I'm going to work towards are likely going to be Ayaka and Bennett, that way I will at least have about 15 characters available to me out of the 30 I have won and I am slowly gonna progress through the rest of them until Miko comes available as she's my next 'new' target.

Despite it being a 'battle' type event I have good feeling I will be able to handle it better this time given more characters at 80/90 and 90/90 weapons. Might add a video shortly to give an overview, any feedback on good/bad stats always appreciated!

 

[Silver_Wolf]

Well 2.2 is out and as per previous announcements we now know whose coming in 2.3

I am 'disappointed' to say the least since I was hoping for Miko so I have to resign myself she might just be a story character unless she comes as a Happy New Year! is a 4-star alongside one of the others.

No biggie, it just means I can 'save' my wishes for Yoimiya's re-run, I will not fail on her a second time!

NOTE: I know I can get her from the main wish banner but it's always much easier when the Probability stake is 'improved'.

 

[TetsuKobura]

Yae Miko is rumored to come in 2.4 alongside a Ganyu rerun. Also the only 5* characters you can get from the Standard banner are Jean, Diluc, Keqing, Mona, and Qiqi.

This is why I love having the forum thread here! I was not aware of that!

Had you not posted that could have been a very expensive 'fail!'

Of course does present a problem since I also really want Ganyu! Ah the joys of wishing!

Still at least I will be well prepared!

 

[Leadfoot530]

Take it Miko's a 4 star then? I was just thinking I could go for a Ganyu rerun. I have at least enough primos for a shot at 50/50.

 

[TetsuKobura]

From leaks I remember seeing, Yae is listed as a 5 star, but that could change. Hu Tao originally was listed as a 4 star but then became a 5 star.

 

[Marqus]

At one point, Babara was a 5 star too. That's why she's the only 4 star that has a cutscene burst animation.

Also, there seems to be a secret Genshin code floating around:

BSPD3ZRXU985

Primogems x60
Mora x10000

I tried it and it works for now. Best redeem it while you can.

Thanks for the code. I read Ningguang was supposed to be a 5 star, but she got changed and became a 4 star instead.

As far as the new island, I got all the fog removed. The one where I had to do relay stone puzzles, annoyed me a lot. I placed this one stone, and it didn't work. Moved it over like 3 steps over, didn't work. Put it in the middle of the two spots that I placed it, and it didn't work. Moved it forward like 1 step, and it worked. I spend a good 10 minutes trying to figure out the placement. Looked at a guide, and they had it near the same spot I had mine. It was real finicky on where it needed to be. I don't really care for those puzzles for some reason, but I probably need to start doing them more, if I need to get my Sakura Tree up.

 

[Silver_Wolf]

Would make sense for Yae to be 5 star, that would mean she could be one banner and then the other will be the Ganyu re-run.

Lets hope it plays out that way!

EDIT: Well Kokomi is almost finished following yesterday's stream, also first post from my new mobile.

@TetsuKobura which Trounce boss do I need to battle for Level 7/8 talent. Presume it is Signoria?

 

[Silver_Wolf]

So I have a question for you guys in relation to quests and puzzles in Genshin Impact.

I've identified following some discussion over on the 'less forgiving' Genshin Impact forums that my ability to solve puzzles is a great weakness and the in game items we have when it comes to the games world quests.

The situation in question was completing the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual, I was able to do the main parts of the quest with no problems but when it came to the barrier puzzles I was literally staring at the screen and the puzzle objects in a state of 'I don't know what to do'.

I think I have now identified why I couldn't figure out the puzzle as it seems if you put on the Electrogranum it shows the lines the puzzle takes which then allows you to figure out the corresponding redirect symbol but I had to give up and just use web guides to get the answer, I know there is nothing wrong with that but it got me thinking that is Genshin being more like 'old games' where puzzles are easy to solve if you have the tools and modern games 'spoon feed' the answers too much?

Did any of you guys struggle to figure out this puzzle or is it indeed a ME thing, I note on a search of the web some others do say this puzzle is very hard and unforgiving so I don't feel so bad about failing it but given my nature when I identified a problem the first thing is to start finding steps to solve it.

Just curious but if there's no replies I will take it that it's just a ME thing when it comes to the game and it's challenges.

I some trouble with some the early cube puzzles. (I suspect Mihoyo may have lowered the difficulty of later ones on the newer islands.) At that point, I'd whip out Zhongli and brute force through them.

I actually really liked the line puzzles in the cleansing quest. They were some of my favorite puzzles. It made me use my noggin for the first time rather than just hitting something until it dies. I just have to visualize the entire solution then hold it in my mind long enough to execute it.

Thanks for the response. I guess that was the thing with the cleansing puzzle, it is quite different from the others.

Now that I have an explanation of it (take the start point of the pray and then work the lines to find the node option you needed) it is as clear as mud but when I was standing there in game looking at the nodes/image I just could not see the solution.

After all I did beat the valley of Tianqui puzzles and made a video on it so I am not completely worthless at puzzle solving...

 

[Silver_Wolf]

So excitement for me at least but if the leaks are true we have another two new outfits coming in Version 2.3 of
Genshin Impact.

Keqing and Ninguang are the recipients, not sure on Keqing's new outfit but as I understand it Ninguang will wear a blue version of her dress which is slightly more 'revealing'.

Glad I have both of them from the Gacha pulls over the first year, guess I may work on one of them as my next build as both seem very powerful in my dungeon grinds so far seeing other players use them.

Hopefully new outfits start to become regular. I would really like to see how Lumine looks in different gear.

 

[Silent Drifter]

I'm glad they got to include Xinyan in Genshin. At first I found the choice of how she is voiced with that accent, but after this event, it grew on me. Slowly building her up, so when one of my character reaches friendship 10, she can hop in.

Voices always create opinions on characters but for me her voice is one of the reasons I like her so much, it's exactly the performance I'd expect.

I built Xinyan quite some time ago on my second account and she's been in my main party since forever.

A great video link there, thanks for the share!

EDIT: Took out about the stream as never happened, see following post...

 

[Silver_Wolf]

So a 'milestone' yesterday, my first character which I think has a perfect World Level 8 build in Genshin Impact is Sara Kujou.

Here's the video of her current build, I did think about going for the Energy Recharge route but have decided to stick with this as she is doing well in combat now.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Got it at 65 wishes! Charted the course, and got it on my first 5 star. I have Hu Tao from the first banner, so I'm trying to see if I can get her C1. I'm at 62 wishes in to pity, and used up all my primogems, and she didn't drop early yet. I'll wait for the new events to drop to get more primogems.

Good Work!

I wonder when it will drop for me, I am about 35 wishes currently on the weapon cycle since the 'game' decided to give me Childe's weapon from the last banner but not Childe...

Saw at least four Thoma's yesterday and a lobby of four Hu-Tao's (my original being one of them) so hopefully it drops for me soon.

I can do another wish run after I complete Labyrinth Warriors tonight so fingers crossed, if not I have to hope enough primogems from next events!

Decided I think I need Thoma, it looks as though his defence skills are beyond OP so combine him with Kokomi, Yanfei and Ayaka as my DPS and I think invincible team beckons...

EDIT: Just realised that would mean 3 out of my 4 main party are from Inazuma...that's quite something...
