You forgot about the completionists, the ones that want every achievement and hidden achievements, 100% exploration, 36 star abyss and dream about those megawhale accounts able to have all the characters built
Advice for the wishing addicts in denial: always have an alt account that you dont care who you get on it. This is good to relieve the wishing temptation so you can wish but also save on your main for the character you really want
That's what I'm doing. I have an ult in American server, AR 32 while my main account is on Europe AR50. I'm spending all my primos to get Nahida in American server, while in Europe, I'm trying to get Tartaglia lol
What I do is whenever I get enough primos I go to paimon’s shop and buy wishes, but don’t go to the wishing page to wish. It gets rid of the urge to do smth with the promos, and if I don’t check the wish page for long enough I get a pleasant surprise
That's why I convinced my friends to give me their account info. I do their dailys, I summon on their account. They gave me the go ahead to do it because their device rn can't handle the game, and I have summons to not summon on my own account.
I have one in-game friend who fell in the Meta II and Judgmental type and they have been comparing my damage to their own one and kept saying that my C6 Zhongli and C6 Kazuha dealt less damage than their own dps characters at C0( Do note that; my Zhongli always hits over 120k and my Kazoo deals more than 100k without buff per elemental burst already) Like wth man, I’m just a casual simp who love those characters so I pulled. I told them several times already that I can cleared all the contents and 36* the abyss but they still never shut up about it. I also previously just pulled for Cyno with his signature weapon then Nilou and when they saw that I pulled them, they asked me that why did I wasted my primos on useless characters… I’m a bit sad every time I recalled what they said. Sorry to whoever who read this rant I need to let it out a bit;;
Srry but wasted primos on Nilou?I mean even tho Cyno is meta too he's comparable with other electro characters,but Nilou?Who has become so easily one of the most used charas in the abyss?Bro tell them to check the meta again.
Yep. My friend that invited me to play this game is that type of person. Cant keep his mouth shut and have to always compare the utility of my favorite 4 stars characters to his beloved Raiden Shogun. I just say I like this one particular character, then he will say "well Raiden can do that and better". I really want to say stfu to him but I refrained from doing so.
People who hyper obsess over big numbers are the same kinds of people that will fixate on appearance over any tiny bit of meaningful substance beyond physical appearances. Just depressingly shallow
@@Dyslexicx Exactly,she just needs more dendro units so her kit will get even better,at the moment we have only 3 characters so it's a bit hard to judge her so early .
2:50 YOU DO NOT WANT THIS. Honkai has "pvp" abyss. It always culminates in two people getting in a spending race to be just a bit stronger than the other one and continually trying to one-up each other, costing thousands of dollars. Making Genshin pvp would actually lock in the meta and remove all versatility from abyss teams.
God yes I know what you mean. It is hell in exalted and higher tiers. Unless you spend money you won’t make it to the top thousand players in each rotation. I saw the newest character already at SSS rank with her signature weapon and stigma, less then a day after she came out. They had the previous one as well. It drains you of your money if you start getting competitive
I actually think genshin being a majority single player experience but still scratching the itch of every category of players is genius, keep it that way I say
@@j4nk3n if there are rewards like crystals in Honkai from being higher ranked, it essentially puts a price on the position. People will go nuts on min maxing like in Honkai. If it’s just a leaderboard for some groups that is optional, and only offers some bonus rewards on top of the base rewards it could be viable. In Honkai if you don’t get a promotion each abyss rotation, you lose out on like 120 crystals, which is dependent on your ranked group. The highest it goes up to is essentially the equivalent of 5 free pulls, but that is 3x per week. The abyss meta slaves will love a mechanic like this, but a majority will miss out on it due to their time investment difference. It will only really appeal to a small group, and Genshin doesn’t really like doing that
I completely agree. As a quite decent player of both Genshin and Honkai, I don't think that suggestion would help/be good, instead it will add more fuel to the fire of toxicity
I don't see how 99% of the players will care about the top 2 going on a spending battle to get a couple milliseconds off of their abyss time for a better position in the abyss. If anything, I think it would be more fun to have more multiplayer stuff in the game. If its a leader board, it's cool for bragging rights, and if its pvp it's something to do with your friend.
I remember co-oping with some real friendly people. I joined to get scarabs but ended up fighting some bosses with them. two of them - a Yelan main and maybe a Cyno or Tigh main - started discussing how much they spent because they were doing a lot of damage. turns out, one of them had spent at least 1k and the other had c4+ Yelan w/ signature weapon so you can guess. and here I am having spent $4.99 I do hope they could healthily afford that though; they seemed nice
Spending is weird. Besides factors like disposable income, it is also worth considering the spending habits overall. If you always have Welkins and skip characters, yeah, you might have a C4 Yelan, but you've probably spent less overall than someone who wants the immediate fix of gems now and every character. Someone who has spent $1000 in two years of playing the game is different than someone who has spent that in two months. And, of course, there are other factors to consider as well. Like people who routinely get their sugared up coffee drinks or drink a daily energy drink. Or those that buy Roster Update 20XX for various sports games. That's a lot of "wasted" money. So one could not do that, and instead waste it on Genshin. And that said, speaking as someone with a C4 Yelan with her weapon, yeah, it's way too much money spent for what we get. Hopefully, people know their limits and stay within it. And successfully resist spending even then =)
I only spent $30 for eula like a long time ago near my birthday.. I also hope they have a solid life to be spending that kind of money on fictional Characters..
I don't support spending on this game when it's hard to justify spending on it. You can beat all contents without spending, and it has predatory gacha system. As a free to play I find it more fulfilling when dealing big damage numbers since I know I didn't buy it.
some gacha addicts will said ‘ bruh its not a fault to spending that much money in game, if u having fun so much why not.. it s their money they can do whatever they want’
My sister is the 'saver' type. She knew that Scara would be playable since 2.1 and she saved for him until 3.3. She had like 600 wishes, got him to C6 and has his weapon r2...I have witnessed everything.
15:02 can confirm. I had 200+ wishes saved for hu tao, but then Nahida came so I decided to get her along the way. Now, I’m sitting at 100+ pulls, still waiting for hu tao.
Heyyy did the exact same thing with yae today and still have enough to get my precious C1 hutao 🥰 Best of luck for your pulls, may your savings be plentiful
Just started saving not too long ago. On a extremely unhealthy schedule of 5 and a half hour of sleep a day, going to school and coming back to grind more primos. C1 Hutao you better come home because I am risking my own life for the 70 pity, 90 pulls and 4000 primos I have now.
I used to be scared of doing ascension domains but now I can peacefully breeze through most fights at world level 8. When I first switched to it, I was surprised at how well I was doing which honestly shouldn't have been very shocking because I had a fully decently built team of characters.
Immediately after ascending, I realized that I also had to farm Maguu Kenki for Kazuha (oh no moment) so I asked some people on a discord server for help. We were literally struggling to kill the dude, so I just said thanks, kicked them all out Then I went up to the boss alone and wiped the floor with it the whole day with my national team xD
Call-back to the time I sat on AR 45 for nearly half a year, completely convinced I was way to under-leveled for the world level rise until I was finally convinced by a random in co-op, I was not under level and did just fine in the domain… only problem was I jumped immediately to AR 50.. so that was interesting.
@@clemintyne7898 Yeah; that's what I did! I sat at AR45 for about 6 months, figuring that if I had trouble finishing Tataragami at AR45 and WL-1, I had no business letting my world level rise and that my time was worth more than a few extra artifacts (I was not wrong). Then when I realized I was finding overworld content boring because my team could steamroll it in seconds, I finally did the quest and my WL jumped to AR55! I had a few tricky days before I learned to adapt!
This video was hilarious. I’m considered a “baby” as I started playing late August although I was triggered when you said already at AR 50 as I hit AR 50 a few days ago. I laughed so hard 😂
I'm a lore player #1 I love theorizing all the seemingly unconnected & overlooked details from the story into theories & spreading them to others! As far as actual gameplay goes, I went from being the "doesn't know how to build" type to the Non-Meta/understands meta type after being exposed to a hardcore meta friend for 8+ mo. who was always throwing jabs at me for not knowing how to play optimally. They genuinely wanted to help me at times, but could become toxically competitive to the point it ruined my fun. Even when you got an op build, they'd act like it was never going to be enough, even when my characters finally became stronger than theirs! It was too toxic & ruining my gaming experience, so I had to cut it off. Meta players are a whole other breed. I'm gonna build my characters to be top of the top meta, but I'm not going to do it while tearing others down or constantly making them feel like there's flaws in their playing. It's like why do that? I don't get it
I’m a lore player. I love the lore and story and how rich it can be. The game isn’t flat dimensional and it makes me happy. And my bestie is for sure a gambling whale in denial 🤣 “oh, I’m getting paid soon. It’s not like I do this often” as she does it often
I would say I’m meta casual. I like to “optimize” my characters as much as im willing to do. I can 36 star abyss. I don’t pull for “meta” only tho, I usually just pull for who I want and make them work. I enjoy the lore and exploration of the game. I dabble in the teapot. I would also be considered a saver as I haven’t been below 10k primos in the last 2 1/2 years. I do wish we had end game content cause I think Genshin has a really good combat system that I wish I could push even further. Im just a little mix of everything honestly Edit: I’m also a PlayStation player but I play on the PS5 so load times are fast and amazing
just like me, I wish for characters I like and do a little bit of everything, building characters is fun, but with so little resin, makes harder to build everyone, but my friends that doesn't like this parts of the game always lend me their accounts too. So I can build their characters, test them in abyss too, they get their favorites to be stronger, and I can play with every character that I don't have.
11:24 It me! The one that casually enjoys the lore, gameplay, and scenery! :D Aaaw I love that thing about the ascension skippers, it's true, I didn't want to do it for the longest time because the whole world level going up made me nervous but once I did it, it was definitely worth it because you get used to dealing with higher level than you monsters without issue and you get much better drops for it.
Same, but in My case i have well built My characters, i just don't know why i keep doing 35 instead of 36 💀 And it's not a problem of energy recharge, rotatations, none of it, and still i keep failing, i Guess i'll just give up, 50 primos it's not worth the pain
Same, I can't even be bothered to get that final star in chamber 3, if I tried I probably could but it's not worth it to waste my time getting that last star
if anyone talks about your damage or demands you wish for a specific character, just run. Even I, that really enjoy the building process, never comment on anything, cause every person have a different sittuation and makes no sense to me to be mean to someone out of nowhere.
@@maryglaser9256 I know it's been multiple months since you made this comment, but when it was made I had nothing to say as I hadn't played with a Albedo main, but now I can agree with this. As a Kaeya main, I must say co-oping with Albedo mains feels like a blessing from the Genshin gods.
@@barbaradesigns1774 I was honestly lucky as a low AR (I'm AR 50+ now,) the only comments I got about my dmg was people recommending artifact sets if I mentioned I was building a character. But now that I've opened a new acc, this positive experience may change. Edit: Even though I'm high AR there still is a possibility for someone to comment on my dmg or wishing habits, considering I main a 4* (Kaeya, as mentioned in another reply.)
She does?? I rather dont see anything about her like, as if she was kind of nonexistent sadly Well, I'm not much into her so perhaps that's why I dont see anything, but I never see her getting much hate either, like more than the usual amount for any character really
You forgot about one type of player : the perfectionnist (or hardcore explorer), getting every achievement, every chest, every quest... ... (yea that's me)
I am usually the casual, lore/story explorer since I do like to see what the world has and sometimes wish/pull for a character that seem to have an interesting back story or fun play style ( based on what I read and clips of other players)
same, more or less. nilou might be better in terms of big numbers, but albedo was in my list since ever and i didn't just want to let him go till another rerun, plus he was guranteed because i lost to my first qiqi on ganyu so you know, now i am happy albedo enjoyer.
14:50 I know someone who wants to C6 R5 Dainslief (when he comes out) SO BADLY that they've saved over 140k primos and they're F2P. Pulled once on Kazuha's abnner, got him in a single multi and has never pulled again since. They're incredible.
When I was at ar 35 i couldn't do the ascension quest, so i had like and extra 50k adventure exp and when i finally did the ascension quest, immediately got to ar 41.
Hahaha! "The Teapotters" is so accurate! As someone who has 1,100+ hours in Animal Crossing New Horizons and with two well-furnished teapot realms, I approve of it!
I guess I'm the "not meta, but know how to build" kind of player. I'm fine with whatever works well with my current characters and thus never felt the urge to spend
The friend who introduced me to Genshin is a meta player #2 I once sent them a vid of Moga using Barbara to beat Childe and asked if that'd be faster with atk artifacts and he told me "Barbara is trash lol, she isn't worth building". Mind you, at that point I played Genshin for about three days. Also, I wasn't even asking him if I should build Barbara, I didn't even have her until over a week later. We don't talk anymore, and he went inactive. Thank goodness. He was quite a jerk, although none of us in the friendgroup saw it at the time. Out of sheer pettiness I built Barbara as my DPS, she carried me all the way to 1.6 because I got Klee that patch. She's been benched for around a year or so, although lately I've been thinking of building her again because while it sounds crazy, Barbara DPS is actually really fun in game.
@@starlight_913 mine was during neuvillette cutscene near the fountain. It's still freezes even after I relogin, atlast I asked my friend to do the quest on his pc
I like a bit of everything. Story, exploration, specific characters (and waiting for them), battle and events & minigames too! I can't whale but I get welkin once in a while. I'm a bit on the antisocial side so the most negativity I've given or received is to myself lol (blessing or a curse?) That being said, what people I *have* interacted with in game and in the community have so far been super helpful, understanding and wholesome. I feel lucky
i’m very glad that i actually had the pleasure to meet some of the best people in co op. i played a lot when i was on a break a month ago, and ended up spending hours in some of the worlds. we just did silly things together, fought bosses, discussed weather, blah blah blah. so far, i haven’t run into anyone toxic in this fandom, and i’d prefer for it to stay that way. genshin is fun to me the way i play it. and I might not be meta, but i have decent builds, which is enough for me.
I'm in the baby category. Started about 2ish weeks ago and I'm AR 26 atm. I made sure to read a guide on things not to do early game like waste fragile resin and whatnot and otherwise I'm just having fun enjoying it at my own rate.
About a year ago I was where you are now. It's pretty impressive you made it to AR 26! Guides are good where you need them. Go at your own pace, even if you're trying to speedrun. Genshin's full story isn't complete so it's not a race yet plus this is a single player game! Try not to worry about limited banners as eventually all characters will come back (except Aloy T^T). To quote one of the Genshin characters: "Every journey has its final day. Don't rush." If you don't get it, you will one day :)
@@TravellerZasha Thank you! I'm AR42 now and almost ready to move on from Liyue to Inazuma. I've been making sure to try and complete every zone as much as possible before continuing. The story is surprisingly good (especially the Archon related stuff) so I don't want to miss much. I don't even mind taking time to just farm mats for ascension and upgrades, it's actually kind of fun when you just do it in small doses here and there. I managed to pull Nahida so it'd be nice to progress further so I can actually upgrade her a bit, but I'd still rather take my time since I know I'll get there eventually. I'm looking forward to Inazuma, I've heard it's really good!
Personally, for talents and weapons, I prefer grinding the lowest level domains for them and then using the alchemy table to upgrade them. Its low stress and low energy for me, and it doesn't take as much time per round :3 (yes, I'm aware that doing the higher levels will reap more rewards in the end, but it uses up too much of my already limited energy for me ^^;)
13:59 and I have people like this constantly asking for help when they r sometimes below ar 45 still trying to get artifacts. I tell them level talents and weapons but they don’t care 😃
That was me when I lost 50 50 to Tighnari on Childe. My 4pc Heart of Depth artifacts now have no owner and I had to farm a new set for a new character 💀
World boss runs costing 40 resin is a miraculous cure against temptation to wish for new shiny 4* chars for me. Thank you world bosses. Scarcity of anemo and Dendro gem shards also deserves an honorable mention. I almost impulse-spent my savings on Wanderer, but the 3 (three) anemo shards in my bag were a great reality check.
My brother downloaded Genshin on my computer one or two month ago while I was sleeping. I play for a while and find it kinda fun, but when the record thingy came out, I was quite shock to find that in around that one or two months time, I’ve opened nearly 1,5 more chests than him playing over a year.
Im quite invested in Genshin. I have two accounts, one fully f2p and one welkin spending. The funny thing is, i am quite luckier on the f2p account than the paid one 😭. So what i do is i pull for characters i dont like that much to be on my main, so i can enjoy both sides of the story :)
im the casuals, i love playing genshin exploring and doing quests etc etc but thats basically it, ill play consecutively for one week then never play again until a new region comes out
I’m the person who cares about Color pallets(I’ll go more in detail in a sec) and the type of person to main 4* and spend all my primos on ONE Gorou con(true story) and what I mean by color pallet I mean wepons matching the asthetic of the character I want it on. I have Elegy but I plan on putting fading Twighlight(sry if I spelled that wrong) on venti bc the wepon really matches his white clothing. I’m also the type of person to main every character I like. My list is Tighnari, razor, Heizou, Gorou, venti, Xinqiu, and Chongyun. I spam Ult’s and E’s instead of having 1-2 dps and supports. Ps: I also only pull for smexy boys like Beny🥰
This might sound so off but I actually appreciate you making this video; it truly helped me realize why I started this game and what I yearned to find and enjoy about it. Sometimes becoming too engaged and strong can be misguiding and can lead of the fun taking away; i thank you once again since I didn’t really see myself in the shoes of another person and how it affects the individual
The waifu players. Joined in v2.5 for yae miko and but failed to get her. So far only have raiden, ayaka, ganyu, keqing, and saving for the yae miko rerun.
6:44 I think I’m on of the rare breed of lore lovers that skips dialogue. I can’t stand waiting through all that talk when half of it is useless, so I skip through and watch a play through on 2x speed later lol
I mean I am a saver so I can pull characters that I really like. Right now I’m saving up for raiden shogun just because well I’m a simp. I also don’t have a grip on builds either so i just ask other people what builds suit them best so I can use the characters in combat as well as enjoying the scenery and quests.
i'm an explorer... i "play" daily (checking in for my welkin and then leaving), but would be perfectly fine not playing and touching grass. i'm only passable at the game though, i could never 36* abyss, at least not without spending absurd amounts of money (which i don't have). i like the lore, but am not overly invested in it even if i consume theories. sometimes, i'll spend a bit just staring at the environment and exploring it.
The veteran: - probably reached AR60 already - Remembers the good old days like physical xiangling - Remembers the bad old days like 120 resin cap and resin gated event - Still traumatized by the food delivery event - Probaby participated on the very first web event with the weapon called "prototype aminus" The completionist: - Collects everything - 700+ achievements - 100% exploration - Has all the limited event weapons The "casuals": - They love the game offers currently - Knows how the game "should" be played - Plays 15 mins daily - Doesn't mind not having the e-word but doesn't want others to have the option to have it - Suggests people to play other games as the solution for having no e-word - Scared of the e-word - Has excessive anxiety according to hoyoverse (had to include this last bit cuz boi they do exist lmao)
i wouldnt say i find artifact farming good, but i do be forgetting my talents though , battle pass saves me, kinda crazy how i fit so many of these categories, great video
I’m a saver, and if there’s a character that I really want I will skip everyone until there rerun comes, like for example I stopped wishing completely after I got yanfei on yelans banner which was the banner that was there when I first started playing just for Hu Tao my queen
10:05 I can never understand those people, like finding materials to build characters is the most unfun part of the game for me, fighting the same boss over and over again is just repeated and boring. The lore and exploring different parts of the map are what really made the game fun
@@sleep2752 I didn't really want her cause I'm not really planning to play Dendro ;^; Besides, I haven't pre-farmed for her and if I don't even have a kind of *headstart* in farming for a character, I don't really end up building them due to easy loss of motivation
I'm a wishing addict in denial I think. I lost my previous account to a BP scam and speedran until AR 45. Kinda sad for losing my previous account, but my current account is actually luckier than the previous one. My first 5 star is 5 pity Mona, then I got Ganyu (wrong banner pull), Cyno, Albedo and Jean (C1) on event banners. The standard also gave me Jean and Keqing And the thing to take note of is the date I started playing. It started from 9th September 🙂 Guess Hoyoverse compensated me indirectly
Lore player and explorer here. Yep, you summed us up pretty much. You name it, there is a theory for it. Most likely on Reddit. ❤ (Also a mobile user who can 36 star abyss but my phone can escape the storage curse with it having 512GB, so thankfully the game won’t ever reach that point)
I am a mix of sorts of players. I really like saving wishes for specifics caracters (and my goal is to C6 and maybe r5 4 caracters in the game to make my team, so I am really picky about which banner I will spend my wishes). I am really bored while farming talents and ascensions materials, but I am forcing myself to do it (for my favorite caracters). I didn't 36* abyss yet, because I am always farming for my DPS and not my supports. I really enjoy doing big numbers tho, and I am always trying to beat my dmgs. I am not a meta player (I play Yelan as a DPS, I am always trying to improve my Raiden build who is already good enough instead of others..) but I ain't a lore player (I don't really read the lore of caracters that I am not interested in, and I just read archon quest). I am also someone who really enjoy improving my teapot, but I just want to make some places for my favorites caracters and I am bored when it takes more than 2 hours to make. I also enjoy doing exploration, it's a nice feeling to see my savings growing. I really enjoy the game and I am playing everyday, because I haven't completed my goal yet (as someone who rarely spend money on the game (=10$/year), this will take a while). Anyway thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it!
I’m a mix of a meta player and a causal player because I pull for the characters I like but if there are any characters that are really good like the archons, kazuha, ganyu, ayaka ,yelan , etc then I’ll pull for them too
There're several more which you'd not even thought of. Private server "hackers", real hackers, the photographer, the photoshopper, The lore collector, The one who spams nahida E on Sumeru NPCs The one who trolls with Nahida E to collect resources, or the resource collectors themselves. In terms of Photoshoppers/fan art makers, they can be made into different categories such as meme makers, individual dream work constructors, cross-over makers, and so one.
This is actually fun to watch. I believe that I fit in the Explorer category, even though my characters have just reached level 80 ascension and still have only max. 3-star artifacts on +10 level (honestly, I have absolutely no idea, how artifacts work in this game, while playing it for a year - gg). This is why my world still has all of its combat challenges not completed; fighting to fit a time limit is just impossible here, and surviving not because of artifacts, but cuz of Noelle and Barbara Elemental Skill spamming just works.
I think I fall in the "casual" category but with a splash of not "meta but can build" since I am interested interested in optimizing my faves as much as time allows (which isn't a lot compare to others hence being "casual")
Back when I was a baby Genshin player I definitely was someone who’d put off ascension quests so long I’d end up going up 2 world levels at once. Think I was too traumatized from my initial 2 or so entire patches worth of atrocious lag that when I finally got my settings manageable enough to actually aim with a bow and use wind currents, I’d be reluctant to fight things. Also I didn’t watch much Genshin content then so I didn’t know how to build and stacked EM on Ningguang lol. Now I know a lot better than to do that and I’d say I’ve reached the decent builds category. As for my main archetype, I’d say I’m the result of combining the explorer with the f2p mentality which results in a lil something called the achievement hunter type: This archetype believes completing all achievements is the true end game instead of just max starring the Abyss. They likely have an external log somewhere tracking their progress and will do _almost_ anything for 5 primos. Their META content is not TC and build videos but new quest and map guides. When this type says they have nothing to do in game, they most likely really don’t have anything to do but wait for the daily chance to beat RNG and complete a new commission achievement. They may be susceptible to flexing (826/857 btw) and may even spend time browsing profiles in the co-op menu to see if anyone can rival their achievement completion score. And finally, this type is far more impressed by someone actually having the fishing name card than hitting a million damage in one strike because fishing is the exception to “anything for 5 primos.”
It’s gotten so bad for me that it hurts when I spend the primos I saved. Like I had 30k at the start of this patch but now I’m down to 10k cause I got venti and Nilou and it hurts
I'm mainly a mix of *"The Explorer", "Artifact farming only"* (You really hit the nail on the head with this one 😭 Specially with the 'fun' part and forgetting to farm the rest because of finding em boring and needing motivation) and *"The saver"* (Almost 30k primos and counting TvT I just don't really get interested in a lot of characters enough to pull, so I have a lower temptation to pull and more clear-cut choices over *who* to pull for and in *which* order in general)
spending 40 euros is enough to make you a denial whale? damn then I must be a primordial denial whale cause I had to spend a grand total of 360,00 reals (Brazilian currency, Im brazilian) just to get C0 Zhongli and still consider myself to be "Basically f2p"
14:41 as someone who has currently been saving for like 3 months, the things you said are very true. For others who want to save but cant, remind yourself what you're saving for I believe in you👍
As someone who was addicted to pulling every 160 primos on my old account, my current account is now sitting on its 80k primogem vault, waiting for the God of Justice's release. The beginning of saving is hard, but it gets easier the more time you spend saving. For those struggling to save, keep at it~ You can do it!
@@the_knut I really want focalors too, I got so unlucky with my raiden pulls after saving 200 wishes. But now I want to get Homa or aqua simulacra they're both good
I’m a mobile, switch waiter, pc and ps4 player. Who was once a hardcore player who explored everything under one week after Inazuma was released and I’m now a semi casual player. I usually do my daily missions, farm artifacts when I’m not lazy to do it and I’m a hoarder, cause I mainly play genshin for the characters so I’m saving up for the characters I want
Id say im a mix of meta despisers and not meta but can build. I enjoy trying different builds,playstyles and i just do things my own way like that i dont invest in cr/cd at all(i just dont want to deal with that too,itd be hell for me). And like,if i like a character,no matter how much their kit may suck,no matter what ppl say abt them,i WILL build them and use them in a desperate way. But i just cant- I dont think the game is designed for you to solo everything within seconds,do 15-95k/1-2 millions of dmg honestly(no personal offense) While my best is 6-8ks maximum,im proud of it and i dont think its something to be embarassed of... But i actually enjoy the lorr,exploration,teapot and stuff along with that! To everyone out there,lets enjoy the game and let everyone play however they want!
I am in between casual , meta but primary teapot legitimately Because there’s only one character I wanna c6 and get their weapon it’s because I had her since the beginning So it’s a reward to myself oh and lore! Any and all so basically I just describe myself as an explorer ?
i follow a few genshin teapotters on instagram, so whenever i see their stories a few hours after the new version, they instantly report their furnishing findings😭 “OMG guys look we have stairs! STAIRS! THIS IS A MIRACLE!!” and proceed to mark the map locations of the remarkable chests. then their next post is a masterpiece area with said furnishing that’s been completed within an hour
When I was F2P, I did actually get Cyno and his signature weapon, even if I only wanted Candace and the weapon for her to use. I currently have Cyno on lvl 20 (for the free pull), and Candace on lvl 70+, So I think I succeeded. Also, interesting thing, I didn't lose a single 50/50, until the most recent Raiden Shogun Banner, and before I mostly either didn't pull at all, didn't get enough wishes to get a character, or got the character I wanted.
I'm a new player and I can say that I love the lore,gameplay, and characters in genshin It's just that I'm a little scared of the genshin community, never had thought some genshin community was this wild like damn🤣
Don’t worry! I find most of the people you find in co-op to be very kind and wholesome. It’s mainly twitter, who attracts these people, so outside of twitter it’s much better. There will still be people like that, but I can guarantee these toxic players are just a part of the vocal minority and majority is on the casual and chill side ;D
I dont know.. am I a casual player? I don't do spiral abyss or use my resin regularly, but I do finish my commissions everyday, have finished all archon and side quests and I have most areas at 100% exploration. Ar 57, played everyday for over a year, and I have a few good builds. I dont really rush stuff, as an example, I got Raiden on her first banner but havent actually built her yet. Same with Childe, Venti and a collection of characters.
Some of these feel like you read my freaking mind. My jaw simply dropped. Anyways, I am a mixture of a dialogue skipper, skipper and not meta but can build. They perfectly describe me except the part in which skippers feel like anime protagonists. I do not feel like an anime protagonist but I do look down a little bit on players who are in denial over their wishing addiction. My thought process is simply do what you wish but dont blame someone else if you dont get something or someone you like
It really takes a lot of effort to restrain from saying “you brought this upon yourself” to people who constantly pull “just because felt like wishing” on random banners, and then don’t have enough fates for 2 pities on their favorite’s banner and get very upset on losing the 50/50. Like dude, i get its very frustrating to get a C7 Jean or to miss your wanted character for 3 banners, but MAYBE if you didn’t randomly wish on a weapon banner every patch while you don’t even need those weapons, you wouldn’t be affected by losing the coin toss…
another thing to add to the Gatekeepers is about older events getting a rerun (time capsule event like in Honkai) to let players who missed the event, missing refinements, and did not get the weapon. I am not just saying this cause I only got a R3 cinnabar spindle. it is the amount of character development within the said event. mainly albedo with 2 amazing 4 star weapons that day 1 players mainly do account showcase and show them off in abyss clears. a lot of players have many ideas to implement them back in via story keys or a time capsule event for players to play it again. than instead of the weapon that early players have. Just swap it out for a crown for them and wishes for the refinements they have gotten and if they are missing a refinement have it be able to obtain for them. a lot of players including myself would love a rerun for the older events
Lore player here, always hunting for stories 😉 but i also main Beidou so i can't afford to be lazy on fights 😁 i wouldn't say that i despise Meta players, more that i don't like Meta in itself, because you will always follow pre builds and it's not that interesting to copy paste it. My actual team is Beidou main, Jean Heal/support, Mona Burst/taunt, Yanfei to support Beidou's counter or synergize with her Ulti. works well enough and makes me clear most fights without taking much damage ad pretty quickly at that (but of course it's not optimized)
you forgot the players who absolutely refuse to switch characters in co-op and starts comparing their dmg numbers even tho no one asked once i had 3 ganyu mains fighting like angry stray cats in one co-op and the host eventually just got angry and disbanded the team like sure ur ganyu has 250 cd but why use her 100% of the time in co-op 😩 i personally love to take supports bc i don't want the team to die like 5 times esp in a boss battle
I only have 1 built DPS so I tend to pick that one tho I can pick others if that situation occurs. When in doubt I pick Qiqi. You can never go wrong with Qiqi right?
*Me who is an unholy mixture of Baby, Can't Build, (somewhat) Lore, Explorer, Whale in Denial, and Wish Addict (not as bad as i used to be):* Plus I used to be an Ascension Skipper and a Saver ;w;
Something I did to become a "saver" was to convert any primos I got into wishes before hand so I felt like I spent them already. I still do feel the temptation of gambling, but at least I do it responsibly 😅
Im a big supporter of the play what you want and who you want mentality.I helped 2 newbies so far and the first thing i asked was what are your fav characters and made teams they like they love the game like this and every character will be good if invested in.What good is insane dmg on people you dont like to play?
When you're a Casual player and still get 36 stars in abyss, take break from the game for 3-2 months and don't have to worry about primogems bc you saved 200+ wish and 30-20 fragile resin and when you get back for that one character you get blessed with desired 5* after 10-20 pulls and thus have enough reason to not play the game for primogems. Plus when you get back there's enough new content to farm 40-70 wish.

@@zixuanyu868 is it _really_ situational irony though? (sorry in advance)
Advice for the wishing addicts in denial: always have an alt account that you dont care who you get on it. This is good to relieve the wishing temptation so you can wish but also save on your main for the character you really want
That's what I'm doing. I have an ult in American server, AR 32 while my main account is on Europe AR50. I'm spending all my primos to get Nahida in American server, while in Europe, I'm trying to get Tartaglia lol
Yea that's what I do. I'm using my first genshin account that I don't use anymore as my "holy carp I wanna wish I can't hold it anymore" account lol
That's why I play cookie run kingdom
What I do is whenever I get enough primos I go to paimon’s shop and buy wishes, but don’t go to the wishing page to wish. It gets rid of the urge to do smth with the promos, and if I don’t check the wish page for long enough I get a pleasant surprise
That's why I convinced my friends to give me their account info. I do their dailys, I summon on their account. They gave me the go ahead to do it because their device rn can't handle the game, and I have summons to not summon on my own account.
I have one in-game friend who fell in the Meta II and Judgmental type and they have been comparing my damage to their own one and kept saying that my C6 Zhongli and C6 Kazuha dealt less damage than their own dps characters at C0( Do note that; my Zhongli always hits over 120k and my Kazoo deals more than 100k without buff per elemental burst already) Like wth man, I’m just a casual simp who love those characters so I pulled. I told them several times already that I can cleared all the contents and 36* the abyss but they still never shut up about it. I also previously just pulled for Cyno with his signature weapon then Nilou and when they saw that I pulled them, they asked me that why did I wasted my primos on useless characters… I’m a bit sad every time I recalled what they said. Sorry to whoever who read this rant I need to let it out a bit;;
Srry but wasted primos on Nilou?I mean even tho Cyno is meta too he's comparable with other electro characters,but Nilou?Who has become so easily one of the most used charas in the abyss?Bro tell them to check the meta again.
Yep. My friend that invited me to play this game is that type of person. Cant keep his mouth shut and have to always compare the utility of my favorite 4 stars characters to his beloved Raiden Shogun.
I just say I like this one particular character, then he will say "well Raiden can do that and better". I really want to say stfu to him but I refrained from doing so.
People who hyper obsess over big numbers are the same kinds of people that will fixate on appearance over any tiny bit of meaningful substance beyond physical appearances. Just depressingly shallow
Nilou isnt even wasted primos, as soon as Nahida drops shes most likely becoming meta
@@Dyslexicx Exactly,she just needs more dendro units so her kit will get even better,at the moment we have only 3 characters so it's a bit hard to judge her so early .
2:50 YOU DO NOT WANT THIS. Honkai has "pvp" abyss. It always culminates in two people getting in a spending race to be just a bit stronger than the other one and continually trying to one-up each other, costing thousands of dollars. Making Genshin pvp would actually lock in the meta and remove all versatility from abyss teams.
God yes I know what you mean. It is hell in exalted and higher tiers. Unless you spend money you won’t make it to the top thousand players in each rotation. I saw the newest character already at SSS rank with her signature weapon and stigma, less then a day after she came out. They had the previous one as well. It drains you of your money if you start getting competitive
I actually think genshin being a majority single player experience but still scratching the itch of every category of players is genius, keep it that way I say
@@j4nk3n if there are rewards like crystals in Honkai from being higher ranked, it essentially puts a price on the position. People will go nuts on min maxing like in Honkai. If it’s just a leaderboard for some groups that is optional, and only offers some bonus rewards on top of the base rewards it could be viable. In Honkai if you don’t get a promotion each abyss rotation, you lose out on like 120 crystals, which is dependent on your ranked group. The highest it goes up to is essentially the equivalent of 5 free pulls, but that is 3x per week. The abyss meta slaves will love a mechanic like this, but a majority will miss out on it due to their time investment difference. It will only really appeal to a small group, and Genshin doesn’t really like doing that
I completely agree. As a quite decent player of both Genshin and Honkai, I don't think that suggestion would help/be good, instead it will add more fuel to the fire of toxicity
I don't see how 99% of the players will care about the top 2 going on a spending battle to get a couple milliseconds off of their abyss time for a better position in the abyss. If anything, I think it would be more fun to have more multiplayer stuff in the game. If its a leader board, it's cool for bragging rights, and if its pvp it's something to do with your friend.
I remember co-oping with some real friendly people. I joined to get scarabs but ended up fighting some bosses with them. two of them - a Yelan main and maybe a Cyno or Tigh main - started discussing how much they spent because they were doing a lot of damage. turns out, one of them had spent at least 1k and the other had c4+ Yelan w/ signature weapon so you can guess. and here I am having spent $4.99
I do hope they could healthily afford that though; they seemed nice
Spending is weird. Besides factors like disposable income, it is also worth considering the spending habits overall. If you always have Welkins and skip characters, yeah, you might have a C4 Yelan, but you've probably spent less overall than someone who wants the immediate fix of gems now and every character. Someone who has spent $1000 in two years of playing the game is different than someone who has spent that in two months. And, of course, there are other factors to consider as well. Like people who routinely get their sugared up coffee drinks or drink a daily energy drink. Or those that buy Roster Update 20XX for various sports games. That's a lot of "wasted" money. So one could not do that, and instead waste it on Genshin.
And that said, speaking as someone with a C4 Yelan with her weapon, yeah, it's way too much money spent for what we get. Hopefully, people know their limits and stay within it. And successfully resist spending even then =)
I only spent $30 for eula like a long time ago near my birthday.. I also hope they have a solid life to be spending that kind of money on fictional Characters..
I don't support spending on this game when it's hard to justify spending on it. You can beat all contents without spending, and it has predatory gacha system. As a free to play I find it more fulfilling when dealing big damage numbers since I know I didn't buy it.
some gacha addicts will said ‘ bruh its not a fault to spending that much money in game, if u having fun so much why not.. it s their money they can do whatever they want’
@@craiver00 fr! All my 5 stars are c0 but they're still pretty good! After my eula I got the rest of my 5 stars with grinding primos

That’s crazy man.
But in the end, hes trash theres a better one
I'm doing the same for Navia, 300 wishes so far 👀 I have her c0r1 sp far.

15:02 can confirm. I had 200+ wishes saved for hu tao, but then Nahida came so I decided to get her along the way. Now, I’m sitting at 100+ pulls, still waiting for hu tao.

Best of luck for your pulls, may your savings be plentiful
Just started saving not too long ago.
On a extremely unhealthy schedule of 5 and a half hour of sleep a day, going to school and coming back to grind more primos. C1 Hutao you better come home because I am risking my own life for the 70 pity, 90 pulls and 4000 primos I have now.

I used to be scared of doing ascension domains but now I can peacefully breeze through most fights at world level 8. When I first switched to it, I was surprised at how well I was doing which honestly shouldn't have been very shocking because I had a fully decently built team of characters.
Same situation here
Immediately after ascending, I realized that I also had to farm Maguu Kenki for Kazuha (oh no moment) so I asked some people on a discord server for help. We were literally struggling to kill the dude, so I just said thanks, kicked them all out
Then I went up to the boss alone and wiped the floor with it the whole day with my national team xD
Call-back to the time I sat on AR 45 for nearly half a year, completely convinced I was way to under-leveled for the world level rise until I was finally convinced by a random in co-op, I was not under level and did just fine in the domain… only problem was I jumped immediately to AR 50.. so that was interesting.
@@clemintyne7898 Yeah; that's what I did! I sat at AR45 for about 6 months, figuring that if I had trouble finishing Tataragami at AR45 and WL-1, I had no business letting my world level rise and that my time was worth more than a few extra artifacts (I was not wrong). Then when I realized I was finding overworld content boring because my team could steamroll it in seconds, I finally did the quest and my WL jumped to AR55! I had a few tricky days before I learned to adapt!
Man no one told me what ascension domains were, i tot its just another quest and now i can't kill simple bosses alone. 😢
This video was hilarious. I’m considered a “baby” as I started playing late August although I was triggered when you said already at AR 50 as I hit AR 50 a few days ago. I laughed so hard 😂

I’m definitely a explorer! i love just appreciating how beautiful genshin impact really is, and remembering why I started playing it. :)
"What they say is true! You have to see the world for yourself to appreciate how beautiful it is!"
I'm a lore player #1 I love theorizing all the seemingly unconnected & overlooked details from the story into theories & spreading them to others!
As far as actual gameplay goes, I went from being the "doesn't know how to build" type to the Non-Meta/understands meta type after being exposed to a hardcore meta friend for 8+ mo. who was always throwing jabs at me for not knowing how to play optimally. They genuinely wanted to help me at times, but could become toxically competitive to the point it ruined my fun. Even when you got an op build, they'd act like it was never going to be enough, even when my characters finally became stronger than theirs! It was too toxic & ruining my gaming experience, so I had to cut it off. Meta players are a whole other breed. I'm gonna build my characters to be top of the top meta, but I'm not going to do it while tearing others down or constantly making them feel like there's flaws in their playing. It's like why do that? I don't get it
Me toooo the lore is the reason why i play
Can you explain to me why Yanfei bleps at you, I need to know the lore of it.
@@Nocturne50 because she can ofc
@@elsa7594 Damn, a fair explanation
My favorite part of the game is the in game books they just add so much flavor and flesh to the world,I really wish more games would do that.
I’m a lore player. I love the lore and story and how rich it can be. The game isn’t flat dimensional and it makes me happy.
And my bestie is for sure a gambling whale in denial 🤣 “oh, I’m getting paid soon. It’s not like I do this often” as she does it often
I would say I’m meta casual. I like to “optimize” my characters as much as im willing to do. I can 36 star abyss. I don’t pull for “meta” only tho, I usually just pull for who I want and make them work. I enjoy the lore and exploration of the game. I dabble in the teapot. I would also be considered a saver as I haven’t been below 10k primos in the last 2 1/2 years. I do wish we had end game content cause I think Genshin has a really good combat system that I wish I could push even further. Im just a little mix of everything honestly
Edit: I’m also a PlayStation player but I play on the PS5 so load times are fast and amazing

"sana lahat"
I can relate
same
just like me, I wish for characters I like and do a little bit of everything, building characters is fun, but with so little resin, makes harder to build everyone, but my friends that doesn't like this parts of the game always lend me their accounts too. So I can build their characters, test them in abyss too, they get their favorites to be stronger, and I can play with every character that I don't have.
11:24 It me! The one that casually enjoys the lore, gameplay, and scenery! :D
Aaaw I love that thing about the ascension skippers, it's true, I didn't want to do it for the longest time because the whole world level going up made me nervous but once I did it, it was definitely worth it because you get used to dealing with higher level than you monsters without issue and you get much better drops for it.
3:34 Can confirm. I'll never get that final star in Spiral Abyss.
Same I refuse to even attempt floor 12
Same, but in My case i have well built My characters, i just don't know why i keep doing 35 instead of 36 💀
And it's not a problem of energy recharge, rotatations, none of it, and still i keep failing, i Guess i'll just give up, 50 primos it's not worth the pain
i cant even get a star on floor 12..
Most of the time I manage to get 33 or 34 stars and don't bother pushing it to 36. Those extra primos aren't' worth the time.
Same, I can't even be bothered to get that final star in chamber 3, if I tried I probably could but it's not worth it to waste my time getting that last star
I honestly watched this because I'm new to Genshin and I wanted to figure out who to hang around and what's considered toxic. 💀

The friend who introduced me to Genshin is a meta player #2
I once sent them a vid of Moga using Barbara to beat Childe and asked if that'd be faster with atk artifacts and he told me "Barbara is trash lol, she isn't worth building". Mind you, at that point I played Genshin for about three days. Also, I wasn't even asking him if I should build Barbara, I didn't even have her until over a week later. We don't talk anymore, and he went inactive. Thank goodness. He was quite a jerk, although none of us in the friendgroup saw it at the time.
Out of sheer pettiness I built Barbara as my DPS, she carried me all the way to 1.6 because I got Klee that patch. She's been benched for around a year or so, although lately I've been thinking of building her again because while it sounds crazy, Barbara DPS is actually really fun in game.

About a year ago I was where you are now. It's pretty impressive you made it to AR 26! Guides are good where you need them. Go at your own pace, even if you're trying to speedrun. Genshin's full story isn't complete so it's not a race yet plus this is a single player game! Try not to worry about limited banners as eventually all characters will come back (except Aloy T^T). To quote one of the Genshin characters: "Every journey has its final day. Don't rush."

I don't even mind taking time to just farm mats for ascension and upgrades, it's actually kind of fun when you just do it in small doses here and there.

Personally, for talents and weapons, I prefer grinding the lowest level domains for them and then using the alchemy table to upgrade them.

You got me. As a noelle main with a c3 shogun I got power hungry back in the day and almost became a meta player
Seeing Amber used in Abyss 12 to 36 star actually just made my day :D
14:40 its easy not to wish when building characters feel overwhelming. I hate farming 👍✨
I don't mind getting the materials, but having to farm a new artifact set stops me from wishing on certain characters. It's way too much rng.
That was me when I lost 50 50 to Tighnari on Childe. My 4pc Heart of Depth artifacts now have no owner and I had to farm a new set for a new character 💀
World boss runs costing 40 resin is a miraculous cure against temptation to wish for new shiny 4* chars for me. Thank you world bosses. Scarcity of anemo and Dendro gem shards also deserves an honorable mention. I almost impulse-spent my savings on Wanderer, but the 3 (three) anemo shards in my bag were a great reality check.
14:41 It’s been nearly A YEAR since I was saving and hu tao is coming in a week or so.. I can finally rest
You pinned me to the wall with the whale in denial one. I actually started blushing cause it was so spot on
blushing is wild
My brother downloaded Genshin on my computer one or two month ago while I was sleeping. I play for a while and find it kinda fun, but when the record thingy came out, I was quite shock to find that in around that one or two months time, I’ve opened nearly 1,5 more chests than him playing over a year.
Im quite invested in Genshin. I have two accounts, one fully f2p and one welkin spending. The funny thing is, i am quite luckier on the f2p account than the paid one 😭. So what i do is i pull for characters i dont like that much to be on my main, so i can enjoy both sides of the story :)
im the casuals, i love playing genshin exploring and doing quests etc etc but thats basically it, ill play consecutively for one week then never play again until a new region comes out
I’m the person who cares about Color pallets(I’ll go more in detail in a sec) and the type of person to main 4* and spend all my primos on ONE Gorou con(true story) and what I mean by color pallet I mean wepons matching the asthetic of the character I want it on. I have Elegy but I plan on putting fading Twighlight(sry if I spelled that wrong) on venti bc the wepon really matches his white clothing. I’m also the type of person to main every character I like. My list is Tighnari, razor, Heizou, Gorou, venti, Xinqiu, and Chongyun. I spam Ult’s and E’s instead of having 1-2 dps and supports.
Ps: I also only pull for smexy boys like Beny🥰
This might sound so off but I actually appreciate you making this video; it truly helped me realize why I started this game and what I yearned to find and enjoy about it. Sometimes becoming too engaged and strong can be misguiding and can lead of the fun taking away; i thank you once again since I didn’t really see myself in the shoes of another person and how it affects the individual
Stop… the “f2p btw” has me DEAD AF 😩😩🤣🤣 soo true ☠️
I‘m the saver I once had over 180 wishes saved and didn’t even think of wishing before my wanted character came
The waifu players. Joined in v2.5 for yae miko and but failed to get her. So far only have raiden, ayaka, ganyu, keqing, and saving for the yae miko rerun.
6:44 I think I’m on of the rare breed of lore lovers that skips dialogue. I can’t stand waiting through all that talk when half of it is useless, so I skip through and watch a play through on 2x speed later lol
Love ur content, keep up the amazing work. Ur guides and videos have really helped me out. So thank u 🤗 stay safe
tysm!! i'm so happy to hear that
@@JazzGal13 thank u and ur very welcome😀
I mean I am a saver so I can pull characters that I really like. Right now I’m saving up for raiden shogun just because well I’m a simp. I also don’t have a grip on builds either so i just ask other people what builds suit them best so I can use the characters in combat as well as enjoying the scenery and quests.
i have been saving for raiden and the thing you said about people that save a lot really hit close to home
Used to be an explorer type and f2p. Now I’m more of the “not meta, can build”, and also a whale (in denial).
I’m probably around meta phase 1 but when I see my best friend running a main dps kaeya with maidens beloved equipped I lean a little into phase 2
i'm an explorer... i "play" daily (checking in for my welkin and then leaving), but would be perfectly fine not playing and touching grass. i'm only passable at the game though, i could never 36* abyss, at least not without spending absurd amounts of money (which i don't have). i like the lore, but am not overly invested in it even if i consume theories. sometimes, i'll spend a bit just staring at the environment and exploring it.
I just started playing and so far I love it. The graphics,characters and voice acting are all amazing
I, have 4000 primogems, 90 wishes and 70 pity.
And yes, I will keep torturing myself by saving for another 2 months until Hutao rerun.
The veteran:
- probably reached AR60 already
- Remembers the good old days like physical xiangling
- Remembers the bad old days like 120 resin cap and resin gated event
- Still traumatized by the food delivery event
- Probaby participated on the very first web event with the weapon called "prototype aminus"

- 100% exploration
- Has all the limited event weapons
The "casuals":
- They love the game offers currently
- Knows how the game "should" be played
- Plays 15 mins daily
- Doesn't mind not having the e-word but doesn't want others to have the option to have it
- Suggests people to play other games as the solution for having no e-word
- Scared of the e-word
- Has excessive anxiety according to hoyoverse
(had to include this last bit cuz boi they do exist lmao)
Yo remember the time where we had to collect 100 specialties for the BP? TvT

Meta guy hasn't lost 100 hp yet, though a frickin Chinese Army is killin him.
i wouldnt say i find artifact farming good, but i do be forgetting my talents though , battle pass saves me, kinda crazy how i fit so many of these categories, great video
I’m a saver, and if there’s a character that I really want I will skip everyone until there rerun comes, like for example I stopped wishing completely after I got yanfei on yelans banner which was the banner that was there when I first started playing just for Hu Tao my queen
Probably in between Saver and Wishing Addict.
10:05 I can never understand those people, like finding materials to build characters is the most unfun part of the game for me, fighting the same boss over and over again is just repeated and boring. The lore and exploring different parts of the map are what really made the game fun
15:45 not completely wrong but there's also the ones that are going for some 4* but somehow get a early 5* ruining their pity
For me, if on guaranteed, don’t try pulling at all if you don’t like the 5*.
But if 50/50’s and
If your above like 30 pity, don’t even try to snipe a 4*

My ass literally smack down goes to can build but worst artifact luck like can you give me just one just one good hu tao sands plsssss😭😭
I'm a wishing addict in denial I think. I lost my previous account to a BP scam and speedran until AR 45. Kinda sad for losing my previous account, but my current account is actually luckier than the previous one.
My first 5 star is 5 pity Mona, then I got Ganyu (wrong banner pull), Cyno, Albedo and Jean (C1) on event banners.
The standard also gave me Jean and Keqing
And the thing to take note of is the date I started playing. It started from 9th September 🙂
Guess Hoyoverse compensated me indirectly
You forgot about players:
last online 31 days ago
😂
Lore player and explorer here. Yep, you summed us up pretty much. You name it, there is a theory for it. Most likely on Reddit. ❤
(Also a mobile user who can 36 star abyss but my phone can escape the storage curse with it having 512GB, so thankfully the game won’t ever reach that point)
I love lore, this is the only reason I still play in this game, but... I have a bad memory :(
I am a mix of sorts of players. I really like saving wishes for specifics caracters (and my goal is to C6 and maybe r5 4 caracters in the game to make my team, so I am really picky about which banner I will spend my wishes). I am really bored while farming talents and ascensions materials, but I am forcing myself to do it (for my favorite caracters). I didn't 36* abyss yet, because I am always farming for my DPS and not my supports. I really enjoy doing big numbers tho, and I am always trying to beat my dmgs. I am not a meta player (I play Yelan as a DPS, I am always trying to improve my Raiden build who is already good enough instead of others..) but I ain't a lore player (I don't really read the lore of caracters that I am not interested in, and I just read archon quest). I am also someone who really enjoy improving my teapot, but I just want to make some places for my favorites caracters and I am bored when it takes more than 2 hours to make. I also enjoy doing exploration, it's a nice feeling to see my savings growing. I really enjoy the game and I am playing everyday, because I haven't completed my goal yet (as someone who rarely spend money on the game (=10$/year), this will take a while). Anyway thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it!
I recently wanted to build my nahida. Had to spend 5 says catching up on story missions just to start that mission, ugh.
The wanderer boss btw
I’m a mix of a meta player and a causal player because I pull for the characters I like but if there are any characters that are really good like the archons, kazuha, ganyu, ayaka ,yelan , etc then I’ll pull for them too
There're several more which you'd not even thought of.
Private server "hackers",
real hackers,
the photographer,
the photoshopper,
The lore collector,
The one who spams nahida E on Sumeru NPCs
The one who trolls with Nahida E to collect resources, or the resource collectors themselves.
In terms of Photoshoppers/fan art makers, they can be made into different categories such as meme makers, individual dream work constructors, cross-over makers, and so one.
If you have a wishing addiction, try a wishing simulator. They’re life savers 😅
This is actually fun to watch. I believe that I fit in the Explorer category, even though my characters have just reached level 80 ascension and still have only max. 3-star artifacts on +10 level (honestly, I have absolutely no idea, how artifacts work in this game, while playing it for a year - gg). This is why my world still has all of its combat challenges not completed; fighting to fit a time limit is just impossible here, and surviving not because of artifacts, but cuz of Noelle and Barbara Elemental Skill spamming just works.
I think I fall in the "casual" category but with a splash of not "meta but can build" since I am interested interested in optimizing my faves as much as time allows (which isn't a lot compare to others hence being "casual")
Back when I was a baby Genshin player I definitely was someone who’d put off ascension quests so long I’d end up going up 2 world levels at once. Think I was too traumatized from my initial 2 or so entire patches worth of atrocious lag that when I finally got my settings manageable enough to actually aim with a bow and use wind currents, I’d be reluctant to fight things. Also I didn’t watch much Genshin content then so I didn’t know how to build and stacked EM on Ningguang lol.
Now I know a lot better than to do that and I’d say I’ve reached the decent builds category. As for my main archetype, I’d say I’m the result of combining the explorer with the f2p mentality which results in a lil something called the achievement hunter type:
This archetype believes completing all achievements is the true end game instead of just max starring the Abyss. They likely have an external log somewhere tracking their progress and will do _almost_ anything for 5 primos. Their META content is not TC and build videos but new quest and map guides. When this type says they have nothing to do in game, they most likely really don’t have anything to do but wait for the daily chance to beat RNG and complete a new commission achievement. They may be susceptible to flexing (826/857 btw) and may even spend time browsing profiles in the co-op menu to see if anyone can rival their achievement completion score. And finally, this type is far more impressed by someone actually having the fishing name card than hitting a million damage in one strike because fishing is the exception to “anything for 5 primos.”
Oh that's me @14:43 I know the "pain" barrier so so well. 🤕
It’s gotten so bad for me that it hurts when I spend the primos I saved. Like I had 30k at the start of this patch but now I’m down to 10k cause I got venti and Nilou and it hurts
I'm mainly a mix of *"The Explorer", "Artifact farming only"* (You really hit the nail on the head with this one 😭 Specially with the 'fun' part and forgetting to farm the rest because of finding em boring and needing motivation) and *"The saver"* (Almost 30k primos and counting TvT I just don't really get interested in a lot of characters enough to pull, so I have a lower temptation to pull and more clear-cut choices over *who* to pull for and in *which* order in general)
Yay a jazzgal video. Always a W 😁
spending 40 euros is enough to make you a denial whale? damn then I must be a primordial denial whale cause I had to spend a grand total of 360,00 reals (Brazilian currency, Im brazilian) just to get C0 Zhongli and still consider myself to be "Basically f2p"
14:41 as someone who has currently been saving for like 3 months, the things you said are very true. For others who want to save but cant, remind yourself what you're saving for I believe in you👍
20k+ primos for EULA ✨😁
@Harshita Nayak nice what are you aiming for?
@@________8553 nothing really l, just eula and then yelan hopefully 🥲✌🏻
As someone who was addicted to pulling every 160 primos on my old account, my current account is now sitting on its 80k primogem vault, waiting for the God of Justice's release. The beginning of saving is hard, but it gets easier the more time you spend saving. For those struggling to save, keep at it~ You can do it!
@@the_knut I really want focalors too, I got so unlucky with my raiden pulls after saving 200 wishes. But now I want to get Homa or aqua simulacra they're both good
I’m a mobile, switch waiter, pc and ps4 player. Who was once a hardcore player who explored everything under one week after Inazuma was released and I’m now a semi casual player. I usually do my daily missions, farm artifacts when I’m not lazy to do it and I’m a hoarder, cause I mainly play genshin for the characters so I’m saving up for the characters I want
Id say im a mix of meta despisers and not meta but can build.
I enjoy trying different builds,playstyles and i just do things my own way like that i dont invest in cr/cd at all(i just dont want to deal with that too,itd be hell for me).
And like,if i like a character,no matter how much their kit may suck,no matter what ppl say abt them,i WILL build them and use them in a desperate way.
But i just cant-
I dont think the game is designed for you to solo everything within seconds,do 15-95k/1-2 millions of dmg honestly(no personal offense)
While my best is 6-8ks maximum,im proud of it and i dont think its something to be embarassed of...
But i actually enjoy the lorr,exploration,teapot and stuff along with that!
To everyone out there,lets enjoy the game and let everyone play however they want!
I am in between casual , meta but primary teapot legitimately Because there’s only one character I wanna c6 and get their weapon it’s because I had her since the beginning So it’s a reward to myself oh and lore! Any and all so basically I just describe myself as an explorer ?
Great video Jazzgal!!! Loved watching it❤
10:02 is when the sponsor part ends.
i follow a few genshin teapotters on instagram, so whenever i see their stories a few hours after the new version, they instantly report their furnishing findings😭
“OMG guys look we have stairs! STAIRS! THIS IS A MIRACLE!!” and proceed to mark the map locations of the remarkable chests.
then their next post is a masterpiece area with said furnishing that’s been completed within an hour
When I was F2P, I did actually get Cyno and his signature weapon, even if I only wanted Candace and the weapon for her to use. I currently have Cyno on lvl 20 (for the free pull), and Candace on lvl 70+, So I think I succeeded. Also, interesting thing, I didn't lose a single 50/50, until the most recent Raiden Shogun Banner, and before I mostly either didn't pull at all, didn't get enough wishes to get a character, or got the character I wanted.
I'm a new player and I can say that I love the lore,gameplay, and characters in genshin It's just that I'm a little scared of the genshin community, never had thought some genshin community was this wild like damn🤣
Don’t worry! I find most of the people you find in co-op to be very kind and wholesome. It’s mainly twitter, who attracts these people, so outside of twitter it’s much better. There will still be people like that, but I can guarantee these toxic players are just a part of the vocal minority and majority is on the casual and chill side ;D
I dont know.. am I a casual player?
I don't do spiral abyss or use my resin regularly, but I do finish my commissions everyday, have finished all archon and side quests and I have most areas at 100% exploration. Ar 57, played everyday for over a year, and I have a few good builds. I dont really rush stuff, as an example, I got Raiden on her first banner but havent actually built her yet. Same with Childe, Venti and a collection of characters.
Some of these feel like you read my freaking mind. My jaw simply dropped. Anyways, I am a mixture of a dialogue skipper, skipper and not meta but can build. They perfectly describe me except the part in which skippers feel like anime protagonists. I do not feel like an anime protagonist but I do look down a little bit on players who are in denial over their wishing addiction. My thought process is simply do what you wish but dont blame someone else if you dont get something or someone you like
It really takes a lot of effort to restrain from saying “you brought this upon yourself” to people who constantly pull “just because felt like wishing” on random banners, and then don’t have enough fates for 2 pities on their favorite’s banner and get very upset on losing the 50/50. Like dude, i get its very frustrating to get a C7 Jean or to miss your wanted character for 3 banners, but MAYBE if you didn’t randomly wish on a weapon banner every patch while you don’t even need those weapons, you wouldn’t be affected by losing the coin toss…
another thing to add to the Gatekeepers is about older events getting a rerun (time capsule event like in Honkai) to let players who missed the event, missing refinements, and did not get the weapon. I am not just saying this cause I only got a R3 cinnabar spindle. it is the amount of character development within the said event. mainly albedo with 2 amazing 4 star weapons that day 1 players mainly do account showcase and show them off in abyss clears. a lot of players have many ideas to implement them back in via story keys or a time capsule event for players to play it again. than instead of the weapon that early players have. Just swap it out for a crown for them and wishes for the refinements they have gotten and if they are missing a refinement have it be able to obtain for them. a lot of players including myself would love a rerun for the older events
Lore player here, always hunting for stories 😉 but i also main Beidou so i can't afford to be lazy on fights 😁 i wouldn't say that i despise Meta players, more that i don't like Meta in itself, because you will always follow pre builds and it's not that interesting to copy paste it. My actual team is Beidou main, Jean Heal/support, Mona Burst/taunt, Yanfei to support Beidou's counter or synergize with her Ulti. works well enough and makes me clear most fights without taking much damage ad pretty quickly at that (but of course it's not optimized)
another lore player here, you're cool
I'm in-between meta and not knowing how to build LOL
you forgot the players who absolutely refuse to switch characters in co-op and starts comparing their dmg numbers even tho no one asked
once i had 3 ganyu mains fighting like angry stray cats in one co-op and the host eventually just got angry and disbanded the team
like sure ur ganyu has 250 cd but why use her 100% of the time in co-op 😩
i personally love to take supports bc i don't want the team to die like 5 times esp in a boss battle
I only have 1 built DPS so I tend to pick that one tho I can pick others if that situation occurs. When in doubt I pick Qiqi. You can never go wrong with Qiqi right?
*Me who is an unholy mixture of Baby, Can't Build, (somewhat) Lore, Explorer, Whale in Denial, and Wish Addict (not as bad as i used to be):*
Plus I used to be an Ascension Skipper and a Saver ;w;
Something I did to become a "saver" was to convert any primos I got into wishes before hand so I felt like I spent them already. I still do feel the temptation of gambling, but at least I do it responsibly 😅
Im a big supporter of the play what you want and who you want mentality.I helped 2 newbies so far and the first thing i asked was what are your fav characters and made teams they like they love the game like this and every character will be good if invested in.What good is insane dmg on people you dont like to play?
“I don’t save primos, i built pity”

When you're a Casual player and still get 36 stars in abyss, take break from the game for 3-2 months and don't have to worry about primogems bc you saved 200+ wish and 30-20 fragile resin and when you get back for that one character you get blessed with desired 5* after 10-20 pulls and thus have enough reason to not play the game for primogems. Plus when you get back there's enough new content to farm 40-70 wish.
