I was there live when he read it. He was so stoked for the first two minutes, then he read the fine print; Bro proceeded to rant for the next *hour* afterwords. How to Uno-Reverse hype in Genshin Impact:
The worst part of imagerium theatre that I haven't seen anyone mention is the increasing number of new enemies that actively move away from you and sit there doing nothing so you have to run around chasing these small fry. Once you use up all the grouping chatacters its just annoying
They ain't wrong though, you support shit, you get shit back, it is what it is. If someone is still actively playing Genshin, that person deserves everything and anything Hoyo gives to their players 100% just accept it with open arms.
@@ardee9337But people have been asking changes for the past 4 years and hoYo's basically tone deaf to people literally begging on their knees for something that is in their other games.
I made a post on a Zajef Daily video saying that gatekeeping the character trials behind level 90 was a hard sell due to the resources necessary to even get to that point. People then argued saying that this is an “incentive to build and level up your characters” and that it was a reward for the players that invested in those characters. What if I just want to try out the character trials? I don’t really care for the cosmetics; I just want to experience the creativity the HYV devs have with character-specific puzzles!
and here I thought hi3's abyss was restrictive enough, then here comes genshin boldly claiming "nah I'd win" ngl this new mode sounds like it was made with malice. all these ridiculous restrictions feels like it was made to spite the "rude" players who hated on imaginarium theatre that they've worked oh so hard on, so they tripled down with this new endgame.
They simply want to get rid of all dissatisfied GI players, and move them into their other products for a second round of sifting. So they are intentionally making GI to look bad in comparisson to HSR/ZZZ.
No mobile game requires skill lilbro, its hilarious when these newbie gacha mfs come and think mobile companies should design their games thinking about their needs lol go and buy a console or a better pc and play a real game
Because this is exactly what they wanted? They wanted to upset people, so they drop GI and go check ZZZ (which was coincidentally released couple days later).
The average player is a casual that doesn't care about endgame though. Not defending them but let's be honest, we, the players that want more endgame content, are a minority.
@@yaelitamarverdugoayala4782 It's Genshin so I doubt they will try to satisfy the hardcore players. At this point, Hoyo could leave this game alone for a while and still be making bank.
the average Genshin players are brain dead babies who are happy with any shit Genshin dev give them. It's sad but this game won't get any better soon because majority of players are happy with shitty filler patch with baby ball shooting mini games.
I discussed with some friends about the end game of GI, the imaginary theatre feels like a endgame with their only focus is sqeeze of resources the players, investing in useless characters, theres not replay content, just random content quite similar with a combat event. Now they are doing the same, a gameplay only focused in invest in useless character with no real fun, both gameplay are for economics measures not for player enjoyment.
Why do they even fkn bother? It was better before when we got abyss reset every two weeks. At least spiral abyss can be pretty fun, when its one of the more difficult ones. This new “endgame” is utter garbage. Mihoyo is just activelly making Genshin worse than it already was, I didnt think that was possible..
Thank god Wuwa exists. I remember wheb this use to piss me off, now its just funny since theres competition and I can get that genshin fix without playing genshin
Unfortunately I might drop financial support for WuWa though after seeing this shit with Xiangli Yao. He doesn't NEED to be exactly like Calcharro, but they did it anyway.
I guess all the budget went to 4.0 - 4.2, and after seeing the success of the archon quests (and characters) they went on vacation and left the most brain dead employee in charge.
I wonder if the devs are actively trying their best to kill Genshin themselves as a social test of how complacent and stupidly alienated their own playerbase is. If you feed them dogshit, they think it's ice cream. If someone calls out abuse, they defend it as the company being realistic.
is not even mihoyo, is the genshin team. in star rail we have 3 end game modes and all 3 are cool. memory of chaos, that is the abyss from genshin, pure fiction, a mode focused on waves and AOE, with weaker enemies but way less turns, and now apocaliptic shadow, that is focused on single target
@@ignacioperez5479 makes MIHOYO Abandon Genshin players care into new games. Hoyoverse mistreated Players popular game into fuel flame. Cai or Dawei address Genshin dissatisfied waiting whole years
It is truly impressive how it gets worse, like genuinely... I guess thats the mindset you can expect from a company after being 4 years at the top that did nothing to keep their spot yet they somehow retained it
Dude was so pissed he didn't even say "peace peace" at the end😂 lmao Although on a serious note I was somewhat interested in some of the new content, but after hearing this im just disappointed man. At least give us a trial version of the characters so it can make it easier for people, Hoyo you can definitely do better then this... 😔
They "can", but do they "want" to? if someone actually *WANTS* to do better, they sure as fuckin hell ain't gonna take 4 goddamn years (and counting!!!!!!!!) to do it. They're not like some troubled individual who genuinely needs help or deserves time to get out of whatever hellhole they unwillingly got into. Stop coping and hoping and quit the game for good, you're just giving them money and/or time to continue whatever bullshit they're doing. GI isn't the only game in the market.
Why can’t they just copy paste simulated universe it’s not that hard you could even call it simulated universe say dr ratio pissed onto the Genshin simulation and now there’s a super computer in Diluc’s backyard literally anything would be better than what they’re giving us
"super computer in Diluc's backyard" 💀 Irminsul Exploration would be a good roguelike mode tbh. Like we go to different parts/timelines in teybat and fight monsters or something. Makes sense in the game's canon.
but SU isn't an endgame mode tbh. MoC, Pf, and AS are currently what HsR players consider endgame mode, while SU,DU, Swarm, and G&G are just game modes
@@mptyalln the swarm disaster and the gold and gears are literally endgame modes. You can't brute force swarm disaster with just buffs, gold and gears while can be brute force by buffs still requires proper planning and good rng to get the prerequisites for a certain strategy. You still need to build your characters to not be squishy enough to get one shot.
Btw, Kuro is still giving away the 5*. The leaks shows he doesn't look shitty and have as much effort in effects and skills as the last 2 limited characters(which both of them are two of the best designed characters in the game atm).
Nice, that means I can afford both characters and their weapons. I usually need to choose between the 2 featured chars as a ftp cause I want both char and weapon, and now I can get 2 of them yay
Kuro games laughing at their own failures?? Good one, also blue poch? The one that should have the credit for designing the best roguelike is Hypergryph and Mica studios lol
@@novyknec1113my guy. Kuro genuinely f up wuwa and yet more people actually have more hope that game would rebound than genshin. The fact that wuwa ain't just a flop at this rate says a lot of how incompetent genshin is.
Exactly. WuWa on release got 2 refreshable end-game (Tower and Depths) and a non-refreshable one (holo boss fights) on release. PGR is even more insane with PPC, Warzone, Norman War as weeklies. Then the insane end-game content like 2 rogue-likes, golden vortex, Stronghold, Border Pact. Then add the malding end-game events like Tower of Babel. Reverse 1999 also has a plethora of content, some permanent and some through events. Add the fact that PGR and R1999, virtually removed the RNG in character progression and puts the fun on actual fights is just insane for a gacha. There are leaks where WuWa would allow a selectable/changeable substat for echo but I'm not sure. Genshin devs aren't incompetent, they made fun events like that Childe and Xinyan event. They just don't care, it's almost like they're doing this intentionally to spite the players. With that being said, it's too late for Genshin at least for me. The fact that they released Imaginarium just because there is now a competition with WuWa is such a sh1tty company decision.
Damn the fontain archon quest was peak for 4.0 but afterwards it was just downhill from there as usual How the hell did we get to the point where we're gatekeeping endgame content now?
Well the whole point of endgame content is that it's meant for the endgame players. Endgame players have level 90 characters and high friendship level on the characters they use. It's supposed to be gatekept from non-endgame players, that's the whole point.
@@Melotaku It is different to have hard-lock or sof-lock. Abyss is not locked to endgame players, but it is an end game mode. And no not every endgame player have 80% unit over level 70, this doesn'T work this way, because most player, especially F2P player focus on max 3-4 team and thet's it. Most endgame player want to max out units, not leveling up every one of them. And the worst part this is not an endgame mode anyway, it is laughtable easy when you got over the hard-lock part. Abyss much better and more rewarding as an endgame mode and it is really sad, because it is the same for over 4 year.
@@Melotaku F2P AR60 player here who played for about 2 years. Out of that 5, I only have Diluc... at level 1. Tell me whats the point in making a game mode that outright hard locks people out, not for the lack of playing but for the lack of luck or simply because I want to reserve resources for characters that I actually want to play. How does that make any sense? Imaginarium is bad enough ( I can only do Normal, cos I only have 12 built units), this one is just pouring and rubbing in salt and ghost peppers into a gaping bleeding wound.
@@anon41031 What none of you seem to understand is that this isn’t a endgame MODE. This is a small little challenge that lets you show your dedication to your most favorite characters. You’re not supposed to be able to unlock all of these. Also they will be adding more characters to this each update, so eventually every character is included. But you’d still only be able to unlock one every 2 months. It’s completely fine to not take part in this challenge in the first cycle. Heck, I’m probably not going to either because I don’t want to waste my keys on these specific characters. I’m sure more limited 5 stars and more popular characters will be added soon. These 5 are just who they decided to start out with. I’m sure once Furina is added, everyone will hop on this challenge right away. No one will complain either because everyone already has her at lvl 90 and friendship 8. And for the record I am also a F2P AR60 who has been playing for a bit over 2 years. I am able to do hard mode on IT because I’ve invested somewhat horizontal. IT is meant to test your account in a way that Spiral Abyss doesn’t. Spiral Abyss tests your vertical investment while IT tests your horizontal investment. If you want to be able to clear IT, you have to change up your play style. This is an endgame mode after all, you’re not supposed to be able to clear it with ease.
So if im hearing this right, they decided they wanted to use something similar to the paradox simulation in arknights (character specialized challenges to see if you know that character well) to then only give a cosmetic reward and making it rotate inciting fomo? Yep thats the hoyo i know
I would honestly take buffed up weekly bosses as a monthly or bi-weekly challenge with some primogems rewards and that weekly boss drops item exchange thing
Aaaand people will still choose to give their money to Hoyoverse. I straight up refuse to even give Hoyo my money again and I sugest everyone else to refrain themselves from gambing in protest. I wish Genshin players were like French people when they hear news they don't like.
knowing those people that still give money to Mi-Hoe-yoverse, they'll never change since they worship that company like one of those mythological deities.
You do know they have different producers for Genshit impact and railing the stars , right, well the producer of GI was in honkai impact 3rd and. Now that he isn't in HI3rd the content isn't dog poop ... 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂 plus your ranting is awesome
Maybe this deal would have been nicer if Jean, Diluc, Qiqi, Ningguang, and Kiara to get buffs for this gamemode and awards. Still they are asking for way too much for so little in return
lol they called that side quest for the cosmetic "endgame content"? I don't mind that it exists but geez, they make it sound like it's Abyss floor 13, surely it can't be that hard when you have to clear it with Diluc, Qiqi or Jean. But hey my Qiqi will look cooler, that's nice. At least it's not a paid skin.
The cherry on top is that imaginarium theater forces you to spread out your resources, but this new endgame crap wants you to invest a ton into just one character.
It baffles me how Star Rail can nail getting me to come back to endgame content by just smashing some rogue-lite mechanics into the game. But Genshin, a game with some of the most fun combat mechanics I’ve ever played cannot give me a good reason to keep coming back for it. The fumbles from this team are legendary.
seeing recent leaks (subject to change, hopefully it does), there’s no hope for hoyo. they’ve outed temselves as _total_ racists and are _petty_ to no end.
All of you that genuinely consider to leave after this. But got snagged by the amount of time and effort that you pour in your account. Remember this, hoyo wont change, the more time you spend in this game coping for better times is more time you gonna loss eventually when you eventually leave. Just quit now, dont wait, they genuinely wont ever change
I literally don't understand why they didn't just copy Simulated Universe from star rail. why have it reset every MONTH?? what?? wouldn't it be smarter to, again, like SU, have the rewards reset weekly. you could argue that 220 gems is not a lot, sure, but imo even this kinda reward every week is not too shabby. not to mention all the combat events that happen too. I'm not a genshin hater. I WISH it was as good. I'd re-download it if they added some meaningful changes. this just makes me sad, there are so many characters I really liked in genshin
WHY ARE THEY TRYING SO HARD TO MAKE ALL THE PLAYERS HATE THIS GAME?! I dont have andyone in that list even Qiqi, that is a blessing tho. Still I an AR45 f2p cant event try this new mode cuz I dont waste my money pulling on waifus and losing my 50/50? Oh wait I have Kirara. Okay then I just need to essencialy BECOME A KIRARA MAIN TO PARTICIPATE! All for some stupid trail? Okay then... This is the biggest piece of crap this game has done in its existence.
Bro... I own a lvl88 main account. I only have characters at lvl88 n bellow. I bet w a friend that by Natlan I would be lvl89. I'm half way there lol n apparently I won't be playing the new content. High quality game design 👍
I'm still keeping and building my Calcharo, because he carried me through the early game (yeah, I'm sentimental). I'm hoping that Xiangli Yao can work well with him somehow.
Sorry, but this isn't a response to the theater stuff. This was leaked months ago. Also if you watch the Livestream they don't claim it to be super difficult. It's just puzzles around the characters abilities
Genshin had events concepts hinting at a potential "endgame" content with bosses using extra and unseen attack patterns that made it way more challenging. They also where co-op from 2 to 4 players, and ofc doable solo if you don't enjoy multiplayer... You could select difficulty from easy to super hard, and in addition you could select massive de-buffs to your characters to make it even harder. Bonus, you could disable timer all together and use lvl1 character if it pleased you. Those events where: Hypostatic Symphony 2021/01/16, Energy Amplifier 2021/04/30, Legend of the Vagabond Sword 2021/06/25 Now imagine if they re-used those events, took the bosses and put them in a explorable dungeon like in WuWa's Depths of Illusive Realm, with small battles beforehand where you could pick buffs that actually matter. Let you play any of your character and let you play co-op with friends... But no, instead we get freaking restrictive circle fights, with the same boring enemies, with no repeatability. Genshin could never. PS: as a Qiqi main, I'm glad she get some attention with a small cosmetic but where is the character story quest... It's been 4 freaking years! :< EDIT: my replies are getting shadow banned for some reason... I edited then "endgame" statement as a concept to be more accurate.
I question if the devs are just completely incompetent or are actively trying to drive away everyone who wanted endgame modes and difficult content. I could believe either, at this point.
They don't want to make endgame content Genshin is literally the reason why I'm incredibly iffy on ZZZ future. Hoyo always screw up their extremely good base gameplay with the least challenging contents
I had no clue about this announcement, and I didn't see it mentioned by other RUclipsrs. I guess it flew under the radar with the Natlan trailer. I really couldn't believe what you were saying until I saw the link in your description lol Genshin really enjoys shooting themselves in the foot
At this point when it comes to genshin I only look forward to upcoming regions and stories because that is what genuinely excites me more than anything the rest of the stuff is an after thought for the devs and as it should be for us players too....!!!! Genshin devs take one step forward to only take 5 steps backward and it's been happening since 4 years I have lost all hopes regarding gameplay, "ENDGAME" and any of that stuff...!!!!😭😭
That doesn't seem like end game to me. I think the wording is wrong, it reads more as a feature added to let players really show off their favorite characters. I assume that the goal is to eventually give every character their own unique trial. It's kinda like an added bullet point to the "I main this character" check list. And I guess they don't want you to complete every trial, but instead do the ones for the characters you love, which is probably why it doesn't give primos and requires keys to enter?
I'll get only Nings, just for a fun. I'm a geo main, and Ning was my main for 80% of my early and mid gaming experience. But to be honest the theater and this endgame mode is really bad. I also have a challenge account, where i play only catalysts and i can't even attempt this new endgame mode without leveling up non-catalyst characters and using them as a ballast because you can't start a challenge without full party of four. I'm still debating whether i should do it or not. Soluna did with his polearms characters, but electro/pyro/anemo catalyst characters even with investment i did are not that good on their own. And because everything is rng it'll be really heard to pull off, especially monolith section. Eh, i dunno.... It's so annoying.... Why can't i use all of my characters? It's still a limitation to 18, but why not all? Eh....
How well you understand your characters: Goes in with Kirara in hp shield set (LIKE EVERY PLAYER) and cant kill anything. Then i am forced to steal kuki Em pieces to be able to do it.
I think the theater is hard enough, making it harder is dumb simply cuz the difficulty is balance by the amount of characters needed. My main problem with it is not the difficulty hard or easy, it's the garbage restrictions man, some elements don't even have a good DPS so good luck beating anything with shitty supports. The limitations, the unimaginable amount of RNG and the element limitations are so stupid. The new game mode thing with the new cosmetics is even dumber and even more limited, the new mode and the cosmetics feels like we're in the desert dehydrated and MHY comes shows us a cistern of ice cold water and then gives us a drolet that evaporates before we even taste it😂😂😂
i friendship lvl 10 90% of my characters because i always place new ones in the teapot and collect the friendship exp. Good thing i was raising kirara to lv90 so i could play her with her new skin in 4.7
i was excited about the new skins (the trails) until i heard about the characters having to be level 90 AND friendship 8. As someone who's AR 50 and likes to take their time levelling characters this almost seems impossible. None of my characters are lvl 90 but i COULD farm for that. But friendship 8??? Seems pretty much impossible in this short amount of time
If you sweat you can get a character to friendship 8 in about 9-10 days or so. Sweating = doing commissions, claiming commission rewards, spending resin and doing the 10 daily ‘random event’ quests in coop.
Damn they really made it even worse and harder with the friendship and keys. I can't imagine if they did this simulated universe. I don't get why they are doing all this extra stuff 12:57 - 13:30 is the best summary
i literally stopped all my fundings after looked, played, and fullstarred the imaginarium theater. it was dogshit, saw the protests, saw the response and it was dogshit too. at this point i just hate hoyoverse lmao
Man Hoyo should've kept the primos between abyss and theater separate. They could've made it where the primo rewards cycle as per usual but the other rewards (mora, exp, artifact boxes, etc.) cycle weekly. This would keep players who WANT to play some of these modes more engaged but now we are instead pushed away. Makes no sense to me because if they wanted you to spend less time on these modes you'd expect it to be diverted to another part of the game BUT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE! What do they want us to use this new found time to play their other titles? NO THANKS! All you've done is disappoint me with 1 game, why should I grant you the opportunity to do it with another?!
Holy shit, having this one massive boss you fight sounds like an amazing idea. in 5 sec, you've made me genuinely excited for something that I want to see in any other gacha game. Even better, imagine like 1 big boss that you slowly chip away at throughout a season/ half a season. and you can coop this boss with friends but its essentially a super boss that u literally cannot beat in a single run. this is amazing. it gives the medium lvl players to slowly chip away and get rewards while also incentivising whales and meta to just try and do their best. Also, this is my own opinion but wuwa will not change genshin. its reception was mid and while 1.1 did good, all its led to is well....this. So nah, genshin does not need to change and will not change. it makes a bajillion dollars and it has a cult following.
The fact that this is real is incredibly disappointing. They're goal was clearly to make the worst end-game mode possible. I can see people just quitting after this. This is the most pathetic way they could have wasted their developers (and soon player's) time.
Good to see the multi-billion dollar company making good use of their money, making the playerbase feel bad about themselves that is, which they should
4 years for this joke, I regret every cent I've spent to support this game, it's now only good to draw porn of the characters They make a great combat system and use it for nothing
And some of that porn (a good amount, not all) is either crappy in quality or just plain garbage. Doesn't help that the characters from the actual game have generic-ass models with below average designs (with some designs at most being decent). All terrible because of its horrible treatment by a shitty and greedy company. Trust me, you'll know good porn when you experience enough of them.
I think that the idea of getting some extra cosmetic bling bling for your favorite character that you have invested a lot into by compleating a challenge made for them is a fine idea. And limiting it so you can only get one cosmetic every two months makes you really chose only your true favorites to give that little extra. They just marketed it wrong as new gamemode and right after the disapointment that is the theater and the promises after. If this came before the theater and marketed as a way to give your true favorites that little extra, I think people would be a lot less mad about it. Also statring with Ninguang and Chichi on the first wave of characters to get the cosmetics is a choice of all time.
A small correction about building friendship. If you do your dailies and claim in coop, spend resin in coop and do the 10 ‘random events’ in coop you can get to FS10 in about 2 weeks. Only needing FS8 should cut that down to around 9-10 days or so. If you do 0 coop and don’t do the 10 daily ‘random event’ quests it’ll take about 6 weeks to get to FS10. Hopefully this eases people’s concerns.
Why do you think that they "screwed up"? It is intentional, just like every other frustrating gamedesign decision in this game. Its a gacha, not a game. Instead, better think about "Why exactly did they release this, and how is it going to help them earn money?".
LMAO saying that it's a gacha, not a game for why it's frustrating to play seems like a pointless argument considering the same company has a gacha game that not only has 3 end game modes tailor made for building your characters and does not have any restrictions built into team aside from PF which requires you to build erudition characters to win but also has another 3 in the form of rougelike which is the Swarm disaster, gold & gears, and the new Divergent Universe....
@@slippy47 Because thats the point? They want to move GI dissatisfied audience to their other "games" for a second round of sifting. Thus they artificially make them look better than Genshin. People will get back to try new GI big patches regardless, it's best if they don't have any f2p savings.
could've been cool if they buff the related characters alongside the game mode's release. but nah that's basically scamming players who didn't invest in those characters, amirite. also let's remember they gotta maintain and keep the TCG environment balanced so clearly the multibillion dollar company is strapped on resources.
Did we really expect the genshin devs to do something great when it comes to ANYTHING related to actual gameplay?! That is our problem. They rather do 1000 weird things before giving us the 1 thing we want? Why?! How can someone be so stubborn?! These modes are only done to give the players something artificial to do. Level up stuff you would never otherwhise.
The free char is a leak, so it's always stc until they officially announce it, I think he was just joking about it. And like just look at 90% of zzz review man, it doesn't look good at all
Ok, i get it the limitations are kinda dogwater, it's bad that you can only do it once every 2 months or so.But isn't that kind of the point? The level and friendship requirements mean that you're only gonna be able to use characters you play atleast a little bit, so it's a way to get a optional cosmetic for (maybe) one of your favorites.Maybe i've missed the point, please enlighten me if i have.
wuwas depth of illusive realm is a "copy" of elysian realm(hi3 endgame) yet its done perfectly, hsr SU is also the same imaginarium theatre tryhards to be unique from the rest and being an absolute garbage of a gamemode
@@TerreneitorPlusUltra i never said hoyo invented it, thats why i put quotation since im not sure if its the correct word nor that im familiar with "rougelike" gameplay to reference it
The problem with the Level 90 requirement is that you only do that to crown someone, and none of the characters they have is a major character. Any normal player (not the players' dedicated mains) will crown Archons, Big DPSs, Important supports, and etc. Diluc is old and only good again because Plunge DMG, Ninguang is niche, Jean is good but not a character to walk around with as a 1st cycle, and forget the other 2 (I like Kirara but not that much). I'm gonna have to wait for someone I actually love and have Lv. 90 like Kokomi, Furina, Raiden, and etc. They flopped badly, how hard is it to add that content?
Nice rant. I have all 5 chars and 3 are indeed lvl90 and friendship 10 ... And of course I used my two keys on Qiqi! 😊 Unfortunately it was short. One puzzle one ruin guard. Other than that just fun! But it certainly does not qualify as end game.

the average Genshin players are brain dead babies who are happy with any shit Genshin dev give them. It's sad but this game won't get any better soon because majority of players are happy with shitty filler patch with baby ball shooting mini games.
I discussed with some friends about the end game of GI, the imaginary theatre feels like a endgame with their only focus is sqeeze of resources the players, investing in useless characters, theres not replay content, just random content quite similar with a combat event.
Now they are doing the same, a gameplay only focused in invest in useless character with no real fun, both gameplay are for economics measures not for player enjoyment.
Why do they even fkn bother? It was better before when we got abyss reset every two weeks. At least spiral abyss can be pretty fun, when its one of the more difficult ones. This new “endgame” is utter garbage. Mihoyo is just activelly making Genshin worse than it already was, I didnt think that was possible..
Thank god Wuwa exists. I remember wheb this use to piss me off, now its just funny since theres competition and I can get that genshin fix without playing genshin
Unfortunately I might drop financial support for WuWa though after seeing this shit with Xiangli Yao. He doesn't NEED to be exactly like Calcharro, but they did it anyway.
@RuneKatashima You do you homie. If you want the new character all I'll say is you may get him easier than you think.

How does hoyoverse always gets Players excited,and than Manage to fuck us☠️
Because y’all put too much hope in a company that has a bad track record. 😅
the real question is how does you (players) still trust this sh*t company
@razornad1299 the answer is simple: because people become dumb and stupid whenever they see cute and sexy characters.
Because they're trying to pander to too wide a playerbase.
They created a meta game and are trying to pass it of as a casual gacha.
you'll still play the game so they don't care, really
I wonder if the devs are actively trying their best to kill Genshin themselves as a social test of how complacent and stupidly alienated their own playerbase is.
If you feed them dogshit, they think it's ice cream. If someone calls out abuse, they defend it as the company being realistic.

if someone actually *WANTS* to do better, they sure as fuckin hell ain't gonna take 4 goddamn years (and counting!!!!!!!!) to do it. They're not like some troubled individual who genuinely needs help or deserves time to get out of whatever hellhole they unwillingly got into.
Stop coping and hoping and quit the game for good, you're just giving them money and/or time to continue whatever bullshit they're doing. GI isn't the only game in the market.
Why can’t they just copy paste simulated universe it’s not that hard you could even call it simulated universe say dr ratio pissed onto the Genshin simulation and now there’s a super computer in Diluc’s backyard literally anything would be better than what they’re giving us
"super computer in Diluc's backyard" 💀
Irminsul Exploration would be a good roguelike mode tbh. Like we go to different parts/timelines in teybat and fight monsters or something. Makes sense in the game's canon.
but SU isn't an endgame mode tbh.
MoC, Pf, and AS are currently what HsR players consider endgame mode, while SU,DU, Swarm, and G&G are just game modes
@@mptyalln the swarm disaster and the gold and gears are literally endgame modes. You can't brute force swarm disaster with just buffs, gold and gears while can be brute force by buffs still requires proper planning and good rng to get the prerequisites for a certain strategy. You still need to build your characters to not be squishy enough to get one shot.
Btw, Kuro is still giving away the 5*. The leaks shows he doesn't look shitty and have as much effort in effects and skills as the last 2 limited characters(which both of them are two of the best designed characters in the game atm).
Just read the leak, at first I wasn’t convinced with Xiangli Yao but he seems awesome now
Nice, that means I can afford both characters and their weapons. I usually need to choose between the 2 featured chars as a ftp cause I want both char and weapon, and now I can get 2 of them yay

@@novyknec1113my guy. Kuro genuinely f up wuwa and yet more people actually have more hope that game would rebound than genshin. The fact that wuwa ain't just a flop at this rate says a lot of how incompetent genshin is.
Exactly. WuWa on release got 2 refreshable end-game (Tower and Depths) and a non-refreshable one (holo boss fights) on release. PGR is even more insane with PPC, Warzone, Norman War as weeklies. Then the insane end-game content like 2 rogue-likes, golden vortex, Stronghold, Border Pact. Then add the malding end-game events like Tower of Babel.
Reverse 1999 also has a plethora of content, some permanent and some through events.
Add the fact that PGR and R1999, virtually removed the RNG in character progression and puts the fun on actual fights is just insane for a gacha. There are leaks where WuWa would allow a selectable/changeable substat for echo but I'm not sure.
Genshin devs aren't incompetent, they made fun events like that Childe and Xinyan event. They just don't care, it's almost like they're doing this intentionally to spite the players.
With that being said, it's too late for Genshin at least for me. The fact that they released Imaginarium just because there is now a competition with WuWa is such a sh1tty company decision.
What happened to not making players anxious
It sucks because the game mode has so much more potential but the devs didn’t do it right
Devs or Higher ups decided? Dawei presentation, they blame Cai Haoyu lack Genshin content rewards put into toddler.
So basically it's useless to veterans and pointless to new players ..
Damn the fontain archon quest was peak for 4.0 but afterwards it was just downhill from there as usual
How the hell did we get to the point where we're gatekeeping endgame content now?
Well the whole point of endgame content is that it's meant for the endgame players. Endgame players have level 90 characters and high friendship level on the characters they use. It's supposed to be gatekept from non-endgame players, that's the whole point.
@@Melotaku It is different to have hard-lock or sof-lock. Abyss is not locked to endgame players, but it is an end game mode. And no not every endgame player have 80% unit over level 70, this doesn'T work this way, because most player, especially F2P player focus on max 3-4 team and thet's it. Most endgame player want to max out units, not leveling up every one of them. And the worst part this is not an endgame mode anyway, it is laughtable easy when you got over the hard-lock part. Abyss much better and more rewarding as an endgame mode and it is really sad, because it is the same for over 4 year.
In which game is friendship level a requirement for more than companion stories, lore or unique cosmetics ?
@@Melotaku F2P AR60 player here who played for about 2 years. Out of that 5, I only have Diluc... at level 1. Tell me whats the point in making a game mode that outright hard locks people out, not for the lack of playing but for the lack of luck or simply because I want to reserve resources for characters that I actually want to play. How does that make any sense? Imaginarium is bad enough ( I can only do Normal, cos I only have 12 built units), this one is just pouring and rubbing in salt and ghost peppers into a gaping bleeding wound.
@@anon41031 What none of you seem to understand is that this isn’t a endgame MODE. This is a small little challenge that lets you show your dedication to your most favorite characters. You’re not supposed to be able to unlock all of these. Also they will be adding more characters to this each update, so eventually every character is included. But you’d still only be able to unlock one every 2 months. It’s completely fine to not take part in this challenge in the first cycle. Heck, I’m probably not going to either because I don’t want to waste my keys on these specific characters. I’m sure more limited 5 stars and more popular characters will be added soon. These 5 are just who they decided to start out with. I’m sure once Furina is added, everyone will hop on this challenge right away. No one will complain either because everyone already has her at lvl 90 and friendship 8.
And for the record I am also a F2P AR60 who has been playing for a bit over 2 years. I am able to do hard mode on IT because I’ve invested somewhat horizontal. IT is meant to test your account in a way that Spiral Abyss doesn’t. Spiral Abyss tests your vertical investment while IT tests your horizontal investment. If you want to be able to clear IT, you have to change up your play style. This is an endgame mode after all, you’re not supposed to be able to clear it with ease.
So if im hearing this right, they decided they wanted to use something similar to the paradox simulation in arknights (character specialized challenges to see if you know that character well) to then only give a cosmetic reward and making it rotate inciting fomo? Yep thats the hoyo i know
Soul is spreading facts in this video.
I would honestly take buffed up weekly bosses as a monthly or bi-weekly challenge with some primogems rewards and that weekly boss drops item exchange thing
Aaaand people will still choose to give their money to Hoyoverse. I straight up refuse to even give Hoyo my money again and I sugest everyone else to refrain themselves from gambing in protest. I wish Genshin players were like French people when they hear news they don't like.
CN whales don't care, same thing with Riot, their whole scheme is upheld by CN
knowing those people that still give money to Mi-Hoe-yoverse, they'll never change since they worship that company like one of those mythological deities.
I better give my time and money to "KuroGame" - at least they listening their playerbase a bit more. I'm done with Mi-Hoyo-Verse
You do know they have different producers for Genshit impact and railing the stars , right, well the producer of GI was in honkai impact 3rd and. Now that he isn't in HI3rd the content isn't dog poop ... 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂 plus your ranting is awesome
Maybe this deal would have been nicer if Jean, Diluc, Qiqi, Ningguang, and Kiara to get buffs for this gamemode and awards. Still they are asking for way too much for so little in return
The free character in WW is still happening tho.
lol they called that side quest for the cosmetic "endgame content"?
I don't mind that it exists but geez, they make it sound like it's Abyss floor 13, surely it can't be that hard when you have to clear it with Diluc, Qiqi or Jean.
But hey my Qiqi will look cooler, that's nice. At least it's not a paid skin.
I'm trying to understand, genuinely, how they came to these decisions... I'm just dumbfounded
Greed
Could've just make the dungeon event with Childe permament with some of the gameplay from IT
How in the fuck they started this endgame with forced bargain bin characters, Jean, Diluc and Kirara and greenlit that shit?
I hear all this and all I can do is laugh…
Hoyoverse try not to be disappointed challenge, anyways back to my tycoons
This stuff doesn’t even sound real tbh they can’t be serious
The cherry on top is that imaginarium theater forces you to spread out your resources, but this new endgame crap wants you to invest a ton into just one character.
It baffles me how Star Rail can nail getting me to come back to endgame content by just smashing some rogue-lite mechanics into the game. But Genshin, a game with some of the most fun combat mechanics I’ve ever played cannot give me a good reason to keep coming back for it. The fumbles from this team are legendary.
seeing recent leaks (subject to change, hopefully it does), there’s no hope for hoyo. they’ve outed temselves as _total_ racists and are _petty_ to no end.
All of you that genuinely consider to leave after this. But got snagged by the amount of time and effort that you pour in your account. Remember this, hoyo wont change, the more time you spend in this game coping for better times is more time you gonna loss eventually when you eventually leave.
Just quit now, dont wait, they genuinely wont ever change
I literally don't understand why they didn't just copy Simulated Universe from star rail. why have it reset every MONTH?? what?? wouldn't it be smarter to, again, like SU, have the rewards reset weekly. you could argue that 220 gems is not a lot, sure, but imo even this kinda reward every week is not too shabby. not to mention all the combat events that happen too.
I'm not a genshin hater. I WISH it was as good. I'd re-download it if they added some meaningful changes. this just makes me sad, there are so many characters I really liked in genshin
just accept the fact that this game will never be good and move on accordingly, that's what i did at least

Sorry, but this isn't a response to the theater stuff. This was leaked months ago. Also if you watch the Livestream they don't claim it to be super difficult. It's just puzzles around the characters abilities
Genshin had events concepts hinting at a potential "endgame" content with bosses using extra and unseen attack patterns that made it way more challenging. They also where co-op from 2 to 4 players, and ofc doable solo if you don't enjoy multiplayer... You could select difficulty from easy to super hard, and in addition you could select massive de-buffs to your characters to make it even harder. Bonus, you could disable timer all together and use lvl1 character if it pleased you.
Those events where: Hypostatic Symphony 2021/01/16, Energy Amplifier 2021/04/30, Legend of the Vagabond Sword 2021/06/25
Now imagine if they re-used those events, took the bosses and put them in a explorable dungeon like in WuWa's Depths of Illusive Realm, with small battles beforehand where you could pick buffs that actually matter. Let you play any of your character and let you play co-op with friends...
But no, instead we get freaking restrictive circle fights, with the same boring enemies, with no repeatability.
Genshin could never.
PS: as a Qiqi main, I'm glad she get some attention with a small cosmetic but where is the character story quest... It's been 4 freaking years! :<
EDIT: my replies are getting shadow banned for some reason... I edited then "endgame" statement as a concept to be more accurate.
Events are not endgame content.

Genshin really enjoys shooting themselves in the foot
At this point when it comes to genshin I only look forward to upcoming regions and stories because that is what genuinely excites me more than anything the rest of the stuff is an after thought for the devs and as it should be for us players too....!!!! Genshin devs take one step forward to only take 5 steps backward and it's been happening since 4 years I have lost all hopes regarding gameplay, "ENDGAME" and any of that stuff...!!!!😭😭
You're probably the most based Paimon PFP ive ever read xd
Bro sounds like MostCritical when his angry 😅
That doesn't seem like end game to me. I think the wording is wrong, it reads more as a feature added to let players really show off their favorite characters. I assume that the goal is to eventually give every character their own unique trial. It's kinda like an added bullet point to the "I main this character" check list. And I guess they don't want you to complete every trial, but instead do the ones for the characters you love, which is probably why it doesn't give primos and requires keys to enter?
Funny how I have been making sure every character I have is friendship level 10 for years now 😅 finally it paid off 😂
I'll get only Nings, just for a fun. I'm a geo main, and Ning was my main for 80% of my early and mid gaming experience. But to be honest the theater and this endgame mode is really bad. I also have a challenge account, where i play only catalysts and i can't even attempt this new endgame mode without leveling up non-catalyst characters and using them as a ballast because you can't start a challenge without full party of four. I'm still debating whether i should do it or not. Soluna did with his polearms characters, but electro/pyro/anemo catalyst characters even with investment i did are not that good on their own. And because everything is rng it'll be really heard to pull off, especially monolith section. Eh, i dunno.... It's so annoying.... Why can't i use all of my characters? It's still a limitation to 18, but why not all? Eh....
It's impressive how Genshin Impact is still alive despite all the available alternatives and those soon to be released.

How well you understand your characters:
Goes in with Kirara in hp shield set (LIKE EVERY PLAYER) and cant kill anything. Then i am forced to steal kuki Em pieces to be able to do it.
I think the theater is hard enough, making it harder is dumb simply cuz the difficulty is balance by the amount of characters needed.
My main problem with it is not the difficulty hard or easy, it's the garbage restrictions man, some elements don't even have a good DPS so good luck beating anything with shitty supports. The limitations, the unimaginable amount of RNG and the element limitations are so stupid.
The new game mode thing with the new cosmetics is even dumber and even more limited, the new mode and the cosmetics feels like we're in the desert dehydrated and MHY comes shows us a cistern of ice cold water and then gives us a drolet that evaporates before we even taste it😂😂😂
i friendship lvl 10 90% of my characters because i always place new ones in the teapot and collect the friendship exp. Good thing i was raising kirara to lv90 so i could play her with her new skin in 4.7
Kirara with the trail like NYAN CAT
i was excited about the new skins (the trails) until i heard about the characters having to be level 90 AND friendship 8. As someone who's AR 50 and likes to take their time levelling characters this almost seems impossible. None of my characters are lvl 90 but i COULD farm for that. But friendship 8??? Seems pretty much impossible in this short amount of time
If you sweat you can get a character to friendship 8 in about 9-10 days or so.
Sweating = doing commissions, claiming commission rewards, spending resin and doing the 10 daily ‘random event’ quests in coop.
Damn they really made it even worse and harder with the friendship and keys. I can't imagine if they did this simulated universe. I don't get why they are doing all this extra stuff 12:57 - 13:30 is the best summary

Imaginarium Theatre is the worst end-game content I've ever played in a gacha.
i literally stopped all my fundings after looked, played, and fullstarred the imaginarium theater. it was dogshit, saw the protests, saw the response and it was dogshit too. at this point i just hate hoyoverse lmao
Man Hoyo should've kept the primos between abyss and theater separate.
They could've made it where the primo rewards cycle as per usual but the other rewards (mora, exp, artifact boxes, etc.) cycle weekly. This would keep players who WANT to play some of these modes more engaged but now we are instead pushed away.
Makes no sense to me because if they wanted you to spend less time on these modes you'd expect it to be diverted to another part of the game BUT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE!
What do they want us to use this new found time to play their other titles? NO THANKS! All you've done is disappoint me with 1 game, why should I grant you the opportunity to do it with another?!
Love it when you rant, lowkey makes my day 🔥🔥🔥💯
Holy shit, having this one massive boss you fight sounds like an amazing idea. in 5 sec, you've made me genuinely excited for something that I want to see in any other gacha game. Even better, imagine like 1 big boss that you slowly chip away at throughout a season/ half a season. and you can coop this boss with friends but its essentially a super boss that u literally cannot beat in a single run. this is amazing. it gives the medium lvl players to slowly chip away and get rewards while also incentivising whales and meta to just try and do their best.
Also, this is my own opinion but wuwa will not change genshin. its reception was mid and while 1.1 did good, all its led to is well....this. So nah, genshin does not need to change and will not change. it makes a bajillion dollars and it has a cult following.
The fact that this is real is incredibly disappointing. They're goal was clearly to make the worst end-game mode possible. I can see people just quitting after this. This is the most pathetic way they could have wasted their developers (and soon player's) time.
They are just allergic to good content man
Good to see the multi-billion dollar company making good use of their money, making the playerbase feel bad about themselves that is, which they should
4 years for this joke, I regret every cent I've spent to support this game, it's now only good to draw porn of the characters
They make a great combat system and use it for nothing
And some of that porn (a good amount, not all) is either crappy in quality or just plain garbage. Doesn't help that the characters from the actual game have generic-ass models with below average designs (with some designs at most being decent). All terrible because of its horrible treatment by a shitty and greedy company.
Trust me, you'll know good porn when you experience enough of them.
I think that the idea of getting some extra cosmetic bling bling for your favorite character that you have invested a lot into by compleating a challenge made for them is a fine idea. And limiting it so you can only get one cosmetic every two months makes you really chose only your true favorites to give that little extra. They just marketed it wrong as new gamemode and right after the disapointment that is the theater and the promises after. If this came before the theater and marketed as a way to give your true favorites that little extra, I think people would be a lot less mad about it. Also statring with Ninguang and Chichi on the first wave of characters to get the cosmetics is a choice of all time.
A small correction about building friendship.
If you do your dailies and claim in coop, spend resin in coop and do the 10 ‘random events’ in coop you can get to FS10 in about 2 weeks. Only needing FS8 should cut that down to around 9-10 days or so.
If you do 0 coop and don’t do the 10 daily ‘random event’ quests it’ll take about 6 weeks to get to FS10.
Hopefully this eases people’s concerns.
Why do you think that they "screwed up"? It is intentional, just like every other frustrating gamedesign decision in this game. Its a gacha, not a game.
Instead, better think about "Why exactly did they release this, and how is it going to help them earn money?".
LMAO saying that it's a gacha, not a game for why it's frustrating to play seems like a pointless argument considering the same company has a gacha game that not only has 3 end game modes tailor made for building your characters and does not have any restrictions built into team aside from PF which requires you to build erudition characters to win but also has another 3 in the form of rougelike which is the Swarm disaster, gold & gears, and the new Divergent Universe....
@@slippy47 Because thats the point? They want to move GI dissatisfied audience to their other "games" for a second round of sifting. Thus they artificially make them look better than Genshin. People will get back to try new GI big patches regardless, it's best if they don't have any f2p savings.
It is a BAD gacha.
Interesting how they are suddenly listening and updating profusely as soon as wuwa came out
Probably a coincidence
Hilariously they actually managed to be worse than wuwa extremely bad optimisation.
could've been cool if they buff the related characters alongside the game mode's release. but nah that's basically scamming players who didn't invest in those characters, amirite. also let's remember they gotta maintain and keep the TCG environment balanced so clearly the multibillion dollar company is strapped on resources.
I agree with that they aren't doing anything great with this new game mode.

Man star rail is a trun based game and it got sim univers + gold gear+ new simulated mode and swarm disaster and what we got a rushed mode
Did we really expect the genshin devs to do something great when it comes to ANYTHING related to actual gameplay?! That is our problem.

Any normal player (not the players' dedicated mains) will crown Archons, Big DPSs, Important supports, and etc. Diluc is old and only good again because Plunge DMG, Ninguang is niche, Jean is good but not a character to walk around with as a 1st cycle, and forget the other 2 (I like Kirara but not that much).

Nice rant. I have all 5 chars and 3 are indeed lvl90 and friendship 10 ... And of course I used my two keys on Qiqi! 😊
Unfortunately it was short. One puzzle one ruin guard. Other than that just fun!
But it certainly does not qualify as end game.
But you see, small multi-billion dollar indie company can't afford the labour hours needed to make interesting boss fights or end-game
Actually, they said in the Livestream it's 1 per floor after floor 6, so 3 keys per rotation, still not great but better
