I have a tip 💡if you don't want to play the game... don't.... play the game... This isn't a job, playing genshin impact doesn't better your life. It's only purpose as a video game is to be enjoyable, if you are not enjoying it don't play it.
The thing is, if you're burned out you want to keep playing the game because you want to experience the excitement that used to be there once again, but you know that if you'll play the game now, you will not get that excitement anymore. To fight the burnout, you either need to get over the addiction you have, or you need to find ways how to get satisfied by whatever the game has to offer.
I've burned out around 9 times since launch. If there is no content your interested in, don't open the game, do somthing else. If you wake up and go "I cant be stuffed." don't play, there will always be more abyss cycles, more resin to use, more times to play. Being controlled by the game will put you into a spiral, stressing over resin or banners is not worth it. taking breaks from the game durring dry spells is perfectly valid, don't let the players that optimise and scare you into doing your dailies control how you feel, because the game will eventually become a chore every single time . If you don't wanna play ,dont, if you do, then play.
There was a time where I felt very burned out with Genshin. And that lead me to becoming a teapot main 😅 I didn't feel like playing any events, at the time Tears of the kingdom had come out and I was hooked on playing that. I played in Mondstadt and for the first time I paid attention to the different trees and scenery in Mondstadt, and how simple it was compared to the future nations. And then I started to build little cozy forests in my teapot. I'm somebody, who enjoys games like Animal Crossing and Sims a lot, therefore playing in the teapot was very calming and fun to me.
The way I cured my burnout was that: 1. I didn't buy Welkin anymore 2. Which lead to me realizing that I didn't have to play the game everyday, especially when I know there's nothing to do (no more events, have built characters, no interesting banners) 3. And when I do have time to play, that's when I try to explore the open world and bit by bit I increase my world exploration, meaning I don't have to pressure myself with 100% an area. It's not a speedrun after all. 4. And because I'm not pressured, I'm not worried about Abyss, Teapot and Imaginarium Theatre. I'm most interested in building characters, teams and more importantly the story and lore after all. I still do spend money every now and then, but I only pull for characters. But nonetheless, this gave me more time to do other things, focus on more important stuff in life and at the same time get on the hype train with new updates and such.
Tip: Serinitea pot. Thats it. Building is so relaxin imo. And if not, take pictures and appreciate the scenery every now and then. And if also not, just take a break.
Playing over 3 years, play everyday….not even close to “burn out”. All areas 100% and no quests left on lists…. When things are slow, I find things to do. Work on teapot, look for challenges or puzzles I missed, collect resources…. Build a Character. I do not grind all the time, I even let resin sit capped for days 😂 I still very much enjoy the game, even the downtime during slow periods. Even started a ftp alt acct. so I can redo everything 😅 On alt acct I just reached Fontaine for main story…. One of my favorite storylines.
Honestly the reason i downloaded genshin didn't really have anything to do with the game itself, my friend got really into it and wanted me to play and i thought sure, so i got it and was surprised i actually really liked it but thought eh I'll probably get bored of it in 2 weeks and maybe play it again in a year like every other game i like, but that didn't happen i kept playing and never stopped for almost 4 years now
Lol the same for me, but instead i was the one that had quit in 3 weeks, some classmates had an bias toward the game so i stopped to make them happy(a thing that you should NEVER do, if they dont like something about you dont try to change it, they are not true friends, the moment something happens they will dump you) and i came back after that same good friend reminded me of the game years later
@@Anika9691 No need to. Devs are very nice to me. They gave me one of the best worlds to be. Constantly entertaining me with events and stories. But i worry for you. Do not know what they did to you and why do they discriminate you in a negative way. You should file a petition.
Ive been playing for a year now: 1. Im waiting to go to Fontaine when Natlan comes out. Im purposely gonna be a year behind 😂 2. I started playing this game bcuz the combat looked fun when watching my coworker play. 3. I actively avoid using waypoints to do Daily Commissions X) Makes the adventure last longer :) 4. I dont fully level up each time + leave about >4k exp for me to actually play with them. 5. Bcuz theyre low leveled, it gives me such a good reason to use my foods 😊 6. Speaking of playing with then, i ask myself, "which character am i in the mood to play with?" -> then i make team comps. (If im unsure, then i do look at guides for tips) 6. Havent completed Sumeru's story quests yet + dont feel like i need to rush on them.
i thought i was feeling burnout, BUT then I saw the Natlan trailer and the new pyro archon just like you did haha and now I have a reason to finish all my exploration do events so I have enough to get multiple copies of her and her weapon, and i started the game because I saw the drip marketing for Navia and fell in love with her, now I can see her in the 4.8 event again which makes me even more excited for 4.8 and then Natlan haha I love your point about expectations too, I take all leaks with a grain of salt, and always tell myself 'this is just a video game' a game i really really love, but if a patch doesnt meet my 'expectations' there's plenty of other games that I can play that I love too, also you made a GREAT point, when you said in the end Genshin is a gatcha game, it's meant to be played for only a few minutes a day, there's so much downtime between patches and the game can feel repetitive, I feel the same way about FGO Star Rail etc, in the end this is how gathca games work and there's plenty of other games that you can play in the end, if you're not having fun, don't play that doesnt mean you suddenly hate the game, we all need variety in our lives and i promise if you stop playing genshin or ANY game you love after feeling burnt out take a few weeks and then come back, it'll feel even better.
Playing since release almost every single day (running 11-13 hour TTRPG sessions took a few days out of my Genshin time...) with more than 3000 hours in the game. Just play at your own pace, skip farming for Artifacts, and find 2 teams you love to play with and do Abyss ONLY ONCE every cycle to get max rewards at 9-11 and whatever you can in the cancer that is floor 12 (usually 5-7/9 stars in it). Event content is always easy. Pick the characters you want to get a couple of patches earlier (follow leaks if you want), and play for the story, characters, and exploring the world. I still have most maps at 85-95%, I don't care to 100%, there is no reason, I have seen everything in them. ps: You got a sub just because you recommended the GOAT (the Nier games). Anyone that has not played them, DO IT NOW.
Genshin burned me with FOMO and pressure to spend since I was a new player in 4.0. After Wuthering Waves came out, I have my combat/endgame fix and now Genshin is simply my open world exploration game. Don’t think I’ll play religiously but I’m sure as heck coming back every time a new region is added. Heck I didn’t even mind Dragon Spine that much
The only thing I don't like about FOMO in this game, is the exclusive characters/weapons. If you miss an event, you will either never get the opportunity to obtain a weapon/character again, or you will have to wait 1+years for a banner to appear. I really wish Mihoyo would do something about this, and give options to players who have missed some events in the past.
I remember trying it because I was starting to feel tired of exploring Zelda TotK map, because it was too similar to BotW for me personally. I wanted to explore new locations that feel different, and I was absolutely floored by how well Genshin scratched that itch. Now I 100% every location and completed every quest. Problem is, new stuff comes out just often enough to prevent me from moving on, but just rarely enough for me to feel like the game is just senseless grinding. Surprisingly, trying to brainstorm good party compositions by literally spending more time in gcsim than in genshin, and then trying what I found out in game, was the thing that helped, so yeah, the answer to burnout is always surprising.
About creating a new account: I'll compare Genshin to Arknights, where staring anew and limiting yourself by going for *any word*-knights ("nicheknights") is actually very popular. There are some really absurd niches, like Allegra Clarknights (she voiced 3 whole characters there) or blondeknights. Fun stuff, keeps the game fresh and it's way easier to implement since you can go to old stages and events there. The biggest problem of replayability in Genshin is gacha. Not the gacha itself, but the avaible pool in the beginning. Starter banner only includes 1.0 character and event banner is, besides the 4*, just those 7 standard 5* and the rate up one, while in Arknights about 4/5 new characters get added to permanent banners. If one decides to create a new account to play only cryo, they'll have to wait 17 years for Shenhe and 12 more for Wriothesley. That's a trend that sadly almost every new gacha game follows. However, there is still replayability. It's not just about replaying the same thing, you can make a challenge for yourself, a limitation, a playstyle. Some people play something like catalyst only and enjoy that. I myself once created a new account just to explore the world with no map
I've been playing genshin for 4 years now, I did get burn out and been on autopilot for 2 years, 2 years of just doing spiral abyss and dailies and events. Last month I was actually motivated to play the game since alot of people are saying that fontaine story is really good. Continued my world and archon quests in Sumeru and 100% the whole sumeru with the help of the interactive map then also finished fontaine 100% too. And man it was a blast playing it, story on fontaine is unbelievable and the summer event now is also fun. Now I still haven't done any Chenyun Vale exploration and I'm afraid that if I finish it soon I will have nothing to do in genshin until Natlan lol I still have a bunch of Story Quests on fontaine characters tho lmao
To be honest, the one thing I love in these games is the grinding. I usually play mmorpg so I guess that's probably why. I love seeing numbers go up🥰 I hate the collecting part tho. I wish they have an update where they actually show the exact locations of materials rather than giving vague descriptions of where they are located.. It's probably not likely since it's been more than 3 years...
Regarding the artifact loadout system, I believe what we have in the game is in fact way more flexible than the system of fixed loadouts people are crying for. I have over 60 characters fully equipped with artifacts and every now and then I pick one and update its artifacts and recommendations from the autopicker is always what I start with, even if I just look at what it offers without applying it. The cases where it offered me better build than what I had on the character are way more common than I even want to admit. Are its recommendations perfect? No, it's not Genshin optimizer. Are they sufficient to fully clear hardest content in the game? Hell yes, you just need big enough pile of leveled up artifacts available. Just think about it a tiny bit: what would be easier to implement, the current system, or the fixed loadouts people like you are calling for? It's fixed loadouts, hands down. But it would be only really useful for that relatively small percentage of veteran perfectionists while the system we have is perfectly suitable for all new and general players. Regarding Paimon shop, I really think it's better that there are copies of Bennett, Xingqiu, Xiangling, Fischl and Beidou on regular basis than if it was as good of a mess as standard banner. Sure enough, if you're a veteran, you already have all of them C6. But there are hundreds of thousands of players who don't. You're not the only customer here. I think one strategy to avoid burnout is to stop complaining about things you don't like on the game and hoping they will get fixed. These complaints and hopes are extremely unlikely to bring things you want into the game any soon, but they are very likely to make you feel miserable playing it.
my good motivation is: Build those damn characters so you can finally clear imaginarium theatre 💀 I started in January so I was so upset I could only clear up to Act 6 (Normal)
That is a good point about the shop. I have pretty much every 4 star at c6 except for Lisa (started june 2021). But to be honest, I personally don't use all my resin in a week anymore. As long as I do all the other tasks I am just fine logging in everyday. And if that's not the case noone forces me to play. I do manage 3 accounts, my bp+welkin one, my f2p test acc, and my fiancés. He has quit Genshin so far but what I do for him is I log in every 3 days to collect teapot/friendship coins/send characters on expeditions/ and gather the limited memento items. He is happy without comissions as he has all the charactes he ever wanted like Kokomi, Dehya, Navia and a lot more. And if he so chooses to come back, he will come back to hundreds if not thousands of eaten resins that would have expired anyway from the teapot ready to be utilized for new characters materials. My personal goal in genshin at the moment is too just hoard as much fates as possible (approximately 250+ limited fates again on my main acc. as of now) and collect as many weapons as I can and max them out. I have almost every single 4 star weapon in the game except 3 limited once from past event. Even the shop weapons and I do quite enjoy making new builds for characters that have been deemed `bad` by a lot of players previously.
If you want to be enjoy genshin or any gatcha game, stop playing it like a job for the gatcha part. I burned out at 1.4 after playing barely 2 patches. Joined back at 1.7 and kept playing without burning out till now. I realized this is my escape place from the real world. Sometimes I only have a walk, others check my inventory as an excuse to go to enka to get some mats.
Honestly, I might just download back genshin. Looking at it now, sure, WuWa is a lot more fun. As a Dehya main, I should at least leave her with the best teams. I think Im 10 pull away from Furina. Hope I managed to clutch it up soon as I am guaranteed.
I’m glad we have more options for gacha games, Genshin being the only gacha game with that level of quality back then was not healthy for the gacha community. I’m glad WuWa was there to satisfy player’s needs and expectations. I just keep swapping between them and It helps keep me engaged and look forward to their updates.
@@callofBzerq yeah same I'm hoping that they would add a character similar to Dehya. A fusion gauntlet cat girl. That would be a dream come true. I also do thought about making a design for it. But to achieve that, I gotta increase my skill at drawing.
i got burnt out midway through sumeru, i genuinely just skipped through the whole story and exploration so i took a break and came back for fontaine which was absolutely amazing omg, i enjoyed the game so much more and i adore the music (lowkey the music was the one thing that kept me hooked during sumeru), now im going back and trying to 100% every place in the game bc i have wayyy more free time and i want to start saving up for natlan - surprisingly i havent felt burnout while doing this bc ive been doing it a bit at a time and co-op while i explore which has made it sm more fun - at the end of the day genshin is a game i really like and im sure ill be sticking around to see how it ends
I think rn Im in my genshin burnout phase, mainly because Ive grinded so much exploration day after day to the point where i dont see it as a game anymore and more of a chore to get the characters that I want. But heres the problem, I already have the characters that I wanted, and I was basically exhausting myself physically AND mentally for a goal that doesnt even exist. Im not an endgame player, I *try* abyss but I dont sweat over clearing it in one fell swoop like some players do. The Natlan characters don't really appeal to me (opinion alert) so I really think its the healthiest for me to take a break, even from farming and exhausting my resin in domains/leylines. Not to mention ZZZ came out and the aesthetic and combat just appealed to me more, Im also burnt out on HSR but I can afk on it on my phone so its not a problem.
Been playing everyday for more than 2 years and I've never felt a burnout, on the contratry I want more content (story, exploration or whatever) although I almost quit the game at one point after I ascended to AR45 bc my characters were underleveled (idk about artifacts, team comp, rotations) and the overworld mobs been wiping my whole team At this point I dont think I'll ever quit or get burnout unless 1. I get super busy I dont have enough time to play, 2. the game is complete or 3. I'll get another hyperfixation or new hobby edit: so for context, my acc now is AR60 with 100% exploration on everything, completed all world quests, story quest, hangouts, bought out all the teapot furnishings, 1155 achievements, friendship lvl 10 for all char except for the last 8 in the teapot, gathered all the books aside from that one in sumeru, all that achieve by playing just a few hours everyday, personally dont why I never get tired of this game 😂
actually, farming for my other units has been my recent escape from burnout. I've been spending my resin and time for wrio since his release bcs he's my main but the cruelty of artifact farming been draining me. so I thought it's change of pace that's I need, not a full stop.
But what if I had low expectation and it is underperformed... at least I wanted the new game mode to be not bad, at least as good as Abyss. it is too much?
Yeah, I wish they just ask the community on what they want from end game most instead of just blindly assuming what we ask for. I would’ve like it to be a dungeon crawler like the one we had in that Inazuma event or something like that the stimulated universe from Honkai Star rail.
@@callofBzerq The worst part thet they already told in the past. Most people want the Ingenuity event as permanent content and after thet the Inazuma event was really popular. I think a simulated universe/Hollow Zero style of stuff would eb the best with dungeon crawling mechanics. This game mode is really tone-deaf. not enough it is not working well with Genshin systems, but it is badly made as well.
Ngl, losing the 50/50 to Dehya while aiming for Furina is really making me want to quit. It was one thing for me to miss out on Furina, AGAIN. But to miss out on her for the one of the two standard 5★ characters I don't play really hurt. My motivation for playing Genshin was already dwindling, but this might have sealed the deal...
heyy i need advice, my account got hacked about a year ago after it got hacked, the hacker pulled for some characters who I do not really like such as alhaitham with his c1 and shenhe. they also pulled for some stuff that i wouldn’t mind such as yelan and hu tao c1. They also destroyed my staff of homa and some good artifacts. I was able to get the account back however the fact that my primos were wasted on characters i do not like really bothered me. I know I can just not use them but the primos i farmed with my own time were wasted on them and this is bothering me a lot. It is also annoying me how it was not me who pulled for them but was that dumb person who hacked my account. I dont know how to explain it but it feels like my account got dirty or smth..I tried to create a new account but I dont want to do all those quests again (archon quests, aranara etc) I really want to play this game and I dont know what to do at this point.
I'm sorry to hear that, while there is no way to revert your account back the way it was, you can still make the most of it by continue playing and look forward to new updates and banners. While I never been hacked before, If I was harmed in any way because of something I wasn't careful of, I would tell more people about my story and warn them to be careful and that will turn a bad incident into a good deed like a silver lining. I'm not good with this but I hope this message will help you in some way. It's a setback sure but now that you got your account back with a more security, it won't happen again. Make sure to connect email and phone number to your game and set up two factor authentication to your whatever service email you use!
Play other games, its the easiest, come back to genshin like ones a month or so and you are good. And no I'm not talking abt gacha games, there is no point in replacing genshin with something tht is in the same daily quest and artifact grind vain. Something else like hollow knight or even fortnight. Heck not just games, maybe try another hobby, like golf or baseball or read a book
I feel burned out with this game all the time cause I like it, but I'd really rather be playing other things than gacha but gotta stick with the homies you know
I tried that but it doesnt work for me because i feel like i have to play both on all the accounts i make so i just started ignoring the second one i made and focused on one.
@@the_real_tabby Said it as a joke mostly, I think gimmick accounts are only good for doing the main story again since thats the best content, actually committing to a gimmick account long term doesn't help at all.
I have an anemo only account that's Ar 54 and I'm very slowly working through Archon quest while making my characters the absolute best I can. On this account I have the rank 841 in the world and I have nearly every single anemo character except Xianyan and Heizou, I will get all of them and I will C6 my Venti there too. My main account is currently saving so I can C6 Venti on his next rerun, I can already 36 star the abyss and cleared theatre but that's not my main goal at all for either account I just love my Venti and have the aim of number one, one day.
This more about the FOMO part of the video and it's a long comment but tl;dr version: I'm a firsthand experience type of player so I hope time limited events (especially important ones) can have a redownload especially for newer players or at least their cutscenes will be uploaded in Genshin's official youtube channel. My FOMO in this game is about limited time events so it's the one thing I haven't come in terms (probably never will) is missing out on huge lore/relevant lore drops on those. I'm still salty about the 1.1 Unreconciled Stars event where it revealed a huge lore and the 1.2 Albedo (forgot the event name called) one even though I'm a late 1.2 player. I'm always curious when will I meet Scaramouche and his interaction with us, Mona and Fischl and when will I fight the huge flower in Dragonspine but learnt those 2 were time limited events. While they did made up the 1.1 lore drop in Sumeru archon quest and made Scaramouche's entrance different for newer players who weren't around 1.1, that feeling of never experienced it firsthand still makes me angry and sad at the same time. I know the solutions are includes looking it up on youtube or treat it as it never happened but I'm the type of player who wants firsthand experience so those solutions rub me the wrong way. Another live service game (not gacha), Destiny 2, made an interesting choice by uploading their old season event cutscenes on youtube. Genshin also did this but they haven't done this with the older ones like the 1.1 Unreconciled Stars opening scene. I just hope (inhaling huge amounts of hopium with this one) miHoYo will make those events as well as other time limited events like the 2.3 Albedo's 2nd time limited event story can be played again or at least upload the older cutscenes on youtube. I'm also fully aware that they might do a dedicated server just for downloadable older events and making one costs lots of money downloadable older events may not be the most cost efficient solution in their end so altering the interaction is the most cost efficient solution. Sometimes I get burnout whenever I think about the 2 big timed limited events I missed, the lack of endgame combat, lack of combat replayability and the lack of hard mobs/bosses that also doesn't require resin in the open world even though local legends exists now but the rewards of beating them doesn't justify their difficulty. I guess my hopium that Genshin will bring timed limited events back is much stronger than getting the burnout of the things I typed beforehand.
Yeah fomo sucks, idk what Genshin was thinking to make almost all of albedos lore lock behind limited timed events especially with his best in slot also. Unfortunately, it’s uncertain that they will ever look back these events, at best they might provide a way to get the limited timed weapons but I don’t believe they will do anything for the cutscenes just so they keep fomo on the consumers. That is what a lot of other gacha games do but that doesn’t mean we should keep moping about forever, I hope you can find a way to look past it and there more events to come and enjoy and I’m sure the more events you do the more you’ll think less of what you missed out on!
Playing other game of this type (open world free to play gacha game) make me realise how pathetic this game and how dev handle them. Uninstalled already only follow the story from youtube now. My suggestion for people that still love this game. Dont top up. If alot of people started to do that. Then this pathetic, deaf developer perhaps begin to care about the player. Happen mutiple time actually review bombed and stuff. And this deaf dev just return to being pathetic again.
Its not the burnout for me.. Its just that the hype is lost on these updates..its always disappointing that u dont want to expect anything anymore coz the devs always find a way to fuck things up..tbh if not for capitano i deleted this game already..
Ok I'm going to talk about a point in particular. It's not meant to be played a few minutes every day especially if you diversify the game experience but ok I get it... you mostly like to try teams and characters. Is that possible ? Absolutelly. Especially in late game. You're talking a lot about YOUR experience even if there are a lot of things you don't really appreciate in the game. You really thought that the no voice acting world quests were fundamentally an issue ? There are good points though. It's not that bad.

You're not gonna make it with that casual attitude LMAO
Agreed. There are other games to play plus we also have stuff in our lives to worry about.
@@Suhrvivor Make it where ? In life ? You know there are things of higher priority than a video game right ?
The thing is, if you're burned out you want to keep playing the game because you want to experience the excitement that used to be there once again, but you know that if you'll play the game now, you will not get that excitement anymore.
To fight the burnout, you either need to get over the addiction you have, or you need to find ways how to get satisfied by whatever the game has to offer.
just play when u wanna play 3 years straight of me playing and still no burn out

um but then u won't be able to pull for ur fav characters lol
There was a time where I felt very burned out with Genshin. And that lead me to becoming a teapot main 😅
I didn't feel like playing any events, at the time Tears of the kingdom had come out and I was hooked on playing that.
I played in Mondstadt and for the first time I paid attention to the different trees and scenery in Mondstadt, and how simple it was compared to the future nations. And then I started to build little cozy forests in my teapot. I'm somebody, who enjoys games like Animal Crossing and Sims a lot, therefore playing in the teapot was very calming and fun to me.
Step 1: don't play Bennett.
Step 2: there is no step 2.
Did you know that 100% of players who burn out from the game and quit forever, played Bennett.
The way I cured my burnout was that:
1. I didn't buy Welkin anymore
2. Which lead to me realizing that I didn't have to play the game everyday, especially when I know there's nothing to do (no more events, have built characters, no interesting banners)
3. And when I do have time to play, that's when I try to explore the open world and bit by bit I increase my world exploration, meaning I don't have to pressure myself with 100% an area. It's not a speedrun after all.
4. And because I'm not pressured, I'm not worried about Abyss, Teapot and Imaginarium Theatre. I'm most interested in building characters, teams and more importantly the story and lore after all.
I still do spend money every now and then, but I only pull for characters. But nonetheless, this gave me more time to do other things, focus on more important stuff in life and at the same time get on the hype train with new updates and such.
Tip: Serinitea pot. Thats it. Building is so relaxin imo. And if not, take pictures and appreciate the scenery every now and then. And if also not, just take a break.
Playing over 3 years, play everyday….not even close to “burn out”. All areas 100% and no quests left on lists…. When things are slow, I find things to do. Work on teapot, look for challenges or puzzles I missed, collect resources…. Build a Character. I do not grind all the time, I even let resin sit capped for days 😂 I still very much enjoy the game, even the downtime during slow periods. Even started a ftp alt acct. so I can redo everything 😅 On alt acct I just reached Fontaine for main story…. One of my favorite storylines.
Honestly the reason i downloaded genshin didn't really have anything to do with the game itself, my friend got really into it and wanted me to play and i thought sure, so i got it and was surprised i actually really liked it but thought eh I'll probably get bored of it in 2 weeks and maybe play it again in a year like every other game i like, but that didn't happen i kept playing and never stopped for almost 4 years now
Same here. And I never felt even once burnout all those years 😅😅

6. Speaking of playing with then, i ask myself, "which character am i in the mood to play with?" -> then i make team comps. (If im unsure, then i do look at guides for tips)
6. Havent completed Sumeru's story quests yet + dont feel like i need to rush on them.
This is honestly one of the most wholsome videos ive watch. Thanks, dehya master
i thought i was feeling burnout, BUT then I saw the Natlan trailer and the new pyro archon just like you did haha and now I have a reason to finish all my exploration do events so I have enough to get multiple copies of her and her weapon, and i started the game because I saw the drip marketing for Navia and fell in love with her, now I can see her in the 4.8 event again which makes me even more excited for 4.8 and then Natlan haha
I love your point about expectations too, I take all leaks with a grain of salt, and always tell myself 'this is just a video game' a game i really really love, but if a patch doesnt meet my 'expectations' there's plenty of other games that I can play that I love too, also you made a GREAT point, when you said in the end Genshin is a gatcha game, it's meant to be played for only a few minutes a day, there's so much downtime between patches and the game can feel repetitive, I feel the same way about FGO Star Rail etc, in the end this is how gathca games work and there's plenty of other games that you can play
in the end, if you're not having fun, don't play that doesnt mean you suddenly hate the game, we all need variety in our lives and i promise if you stop playing genshin or ANY game you love after feeling burnt out take a few weeks and then come back, it'll feel even better.
literally how i play the game for 1 year rn, your tips are good and everyone should play like this to not feel burnout
Playing since release almost every single day (running 11-13 hour TTRPG sessions took a few days out of my Genshin time...) with more than 3000 hours in the game.
Just play at your own pace, skip farming for Artifacts, and find 2 teams you love to play with and do Abyss ONLY ONCE every cycle to get max rewards at 9-11 and whatever you can in the cancer that is floor 12 (usually 5-7/9 stars in it).
Event content is always easy. Pick the characters you want to get a couple of patches earlier (follow leaks if you want), and play for the story, characters, and exploring the world.
I still have most maps at 85-95%, I don't care to 100%, there is no reason, I have seen everything in them.
ps: You got a sub just because you recommended the GOAT (the Nier games). Anyone that has not played them, DO IT NOW.
Genshin Impact is like a wine, if you drink it too fast you will get hammered.
Genshin burned me with FOMO and pressure to spend since I was a new player in 4.0. After Wuthering Waves came out, I have my combat/endgame fix and now Genshin is simply my open world exploration game. Don’t think I’ll play religiously but I’m sure as heck coming back every time a new region is added. Heck I didn’t even mind Dragon Spine that much
The only thing I don't like about FOMO in this game, is the exclusive characters/weapons. If you miss an event, you will either never get the opportunity to obtain a weapon/character again, or you will have to wait 1+years for a banner to appear. I really wish Mihoyo would do something about this, and give options to players who have missed some events in the past.
I remember trying it because I was starting to feel tired of exploring Zelda TotK map, because it was too similar to BotW for me personally. I wanted to explore new locations that feel different, and I was absolutely floored by how well Genshin scratched that itch. Now I 100% every location and completed every quest. Problem is, new stuff comes out just often enough to prevent me from moving on, but just rarely enough for me to feel like the game is just senseless grinding.
Surprisingly, trying to brainstorm good party compositions by literally spending more time in gcsim than in genshin, and then trying what I found out in game, was the thing that helped, so yeah, the answer to burnout is always surprising.
congrats on 1k man! you did it~
About creating a new account: I'll compare Genshin to Arknights, where staring anew and limiting yourself by going for *any word*-knights ("nicheknights") is actually very popular. There are some really absurd niches, like Allegra Clarknights (she voiced 3 whole characters there) or blondeknights. Fun stuff, keeps the game fresh and it's way easier to implement since you can go to old stages and events there. The biggest problem of replayability in Genshin is gacha. Not the gacha itself, but the avaible pool in the beginning. Starter banner only includes 1.0 character and event banner is, besides the 4*, just those 7 standard 5* and the rate up one, while in Arknights about 4/5 new characters get added to permanent banners. If one decides to create a new account to play only cryo, they'll have to wait 17 years for Shenhe and 12 more for Wriothesley. That's a trend that sadly almost every new gacha game follows.
However, there is still replayability. It's not just about replaying the same thing, you can make a challenge for yourself, a limitation, a playstyle. Some people play something like catalyst only and enjoy that. I myself once created a new account just to explore the world with no map
I've been playing genshin for 4 years now, I did get burn out and been on autopilot for 2 years, 2 years of just doing spiral abyss and dailies and events. Last month I was actually motivated to play the game since alot of people are saying that fontaine story is really good. Continued my world and archon quests in Sumeru and 100% the whole sumeru with the help of the interactive map then also finished fontaine 100% too. And man it was a blast playing it, story on fontaine is unbelievable and the summer event now is also fun. Now I still haven't done any Chenyun Vale exploration and I'm afraid that if I finish it soon I will have nothing to do in genshin until Natlan lol I still have a bunch of Story Quests on fontaine characters tho lmao
To be honest, the one thing I love in these games is the grinding. I usually play mmorpg so I guess that's probably why.
I love seeing numbers go up🥰
I hate the collecting part tho.
I wish they have an update where they actually show the exact locations of materials rather than giving vague descriptions of where they are located..
It's probably not likely since it's been more than 3 years...
Regarding the artifact loadout system, I believe what we have in the game is in fact way more flexible than the system of fixed loadouts people are crying for. I have over 60 characters fully equipped with artifacts and every now and then I pick one and update its artifacts and recommendations from the autopicker is always what I start with, even if I just look at what it offers without applying it. The cases where it offered me better build than what I had on the character are way more common than I even want to admit. Are its recommendations perfect? No, it's not Genshin optimizer. Are they sufficient to fully clear hardest content in the game? Hell yes, you just need big enough pile of leveled up artifacts available.
Just think about it a tiny bit: what would be easier to implement, the current system, or the fixed loadouts people like you are calling for? It's fixed loadouts, hands down. But it would be only really useful for that relatively small percentage of veteran perfectionists while the system we have is perfectly suitable for all new and general players.
Regarding Paimon shop, I really think it's better that there are copies of Bennett, Xingqiu, Xiangling, Fischl and Beidou on regular basis than if it was as good of a mess as standard banner. Sure enough, if you're a veteran, you already have all of them C6. But there are hundreds of thousands of players who don't. You're not the only customer here.
I think one strategy to avoid burnout is to stop complaining about things you don't like on the game and hoping they will get fixed. These complaints and hopes are extremely unlikely to bring things you want into the game any soon, but they are very likely to make you feel miserable playing it.
my good motivation is: Build those damn characters so you can finally clear imaginarium theatre 💀 I started in January so I was so upset I could only clear up to Act 6 (Normal)
i started last september, and still could only do up to act 6.
Damn as June 2021 player it was giggles and shit for me
just stumbled upon this through yt recommendation, great video, new sub!
That is a good point about the shop. I have pretty much every 4 star at c6 except for Lisa (started june 2021). But to be honest, I personally don't use all my resin in a week anymore. As long as I do all the other tasks I am just fine logging in everyday. And if that's not the case noone forces me to play. I do manage 3 accounts, my bp+welkin one, my f2p test acc, and my fiancés. He has quit Genshin so far but what I do for him is I log in every 3 days to collect teapot/friendship coins/send characters on expeditions/ and gather the limited memento items. He is happy without comissions as he has all the charactes he ever wanted like Kokomi, Dehya, Navia and a lot more. And if he so chooses to come back, he will come back to hundreds if not thousands of eaten resins that would have expired anyway from the teapot ready to be utilized for new characters materials. My personal goal in genshin at the moment is too just hoard as much fates as possible (approximately 250+ limited fates again on my main acc. as of now) and collect as many weapons as I can and max them out. I have almost every single 4 star weapon in the game except 3 limited once from past event. Even the shop weapons and I do quite enjoy making new builds for characters that have been deemed `bad` by a lot of players previously.
If you want to be enjoy genshin or any gatcha game, stop playing it like a job for the gatcha part.
I burned out at 1.4 after playing barely 2 patches. Joined back at 1.7 and kept playing without burning out till now. I realized this is my escape place from the real world. Sometimes I only have a walk, others check my inventory as an excuse to go to enka to get some mats.
6:05 so be a full time slave for mihoyo?
Honestly, I might just download back genshin. Looking at it now, sure, WuWa is a lot more fun. As a Dehya main, I should at least leave her with the best teams. I think Im 10 pull away from Furina. Hope I managed to clutch it up soon as I am guaranteed.
I’m glad we have more options for gacha games, Genshin being the only gacha game with that level of quality back then was not healthy for the gacha community. I’m glad WuWa was there to satisfy player’s needs and expectations. I just keep swapping between them and It helps keep me engaged and look forward to their updates.
@@callofBzerq yeah same I'm hoping that they would add a character similar to Dehya. A fusion gauntlet cat girl. That would be a dream come true. I also do thought about making a design for it. But to achieve that, I gotta increase my skill at drawing.
i got burnt out midway through sumeru, i genuinely just skipped through the whole story and exploration so i took a break and came back for fontaine which was absolutely amazing omg, i enjoyed the game so much more and i adore the music (lowkey the music was the one thing that kept me hooked during sumeru), now im going back and trying to 100% every place in the game bc i have wayyy more free time and i want to start saving up for natlan - surprisingly i havent felt burnout while doing this bc ive been doing it a bit at a time and co-op while i explore which has made it sm more fun - at the end of the day genshin is a game i really like and im sure ill be sticking around to see how it ends
I think rn Im in my genshin burnout phase, mainly because Ive grinded so much exploration day after day to the point where i dont see it as a game anymore and more of a chore to get the characters that I want. But heres the problem, I already have the characters that I wanted, and I was basically exhausting myself physically AND mentally for a goal that doesnt even exist. Im not an endgame player, I *try* abyss but I dont sweat over clearing it in one fell swoop like some players do. The Natlan characters don't really appeal to me (opinion alert) so I really think its the healthiest for me to take a break, even from farming and exhausting my resin in domains/leylines.
Not to mention ZZZ came out and the aesthetic and combat just appealed to me more, Im also burnt out on HSR but I can afk on it on my phone so its not a problem.
Been playing everyday for more than 2 years and I've never felt a burnout, on the contratry I want more content (story, exploration or whatever) although I almost quit the game at one point after I ascended to AR45 bc my characters were underleveled (idk about artifacts, team comp, rotations) and the overworld mobs been wiping my whole team
At this point I dont think I'll ever quit or get burnout unless 1. I get super busy I dont have enough time to play, 2. the game is complete or 3. I'll get another hyperfixation or new hobby
edit: so for context, my acc now is AR60 with 100% exploration on everything, completed all world quests, story quest, hangouts, bought out all the teapot furnishings, 1155 achievements, friendship lvl 10 for all char except for the last 8 in the teapot, gathered all the books aside from that one in sumeru, all that achieve by playing just a few hours everyday, personally dont why I never get tired of this game 😂
actually, farming for my other units has been my recent escape from burnout. I've been spending my resin and time for wrio since his release bcs he's my main but the cruelty of artifact farming been draining me. so I thought it's change of pace that's I need, not a full stop.
I got burnout around 1.5 year ago and still have it
But what if I had low expectation and it is underperformed... at least I wanted the new game mode to be not bad, at least as good as Abyss. it is too much?
Yeah, I wish they just ask the community on what they want from end game most instead of just blindly assuming what we ask for. I would’ve like it to be a dungeon crawler like the one we had in that Inazuma event or something like that the stimulated universe from Honkai Star rail.
@@callofBzerq The worst part thet they already told in the past. Most people want the Ingenuity event as permanent content and after thet the Inazuma event was really popular. I think a simulated universe/Hollow Zero style of stuff would eb the best with dungeon crawling mechanics. This game mode is really tone-deaf. not enough it is not working well with Genshin systems, but it is badly made as well.
Ngl, losing the 50/50 to Dehya while aiming for Furina is really making me want to quit. It was one thing for me to miss out on Furina, AGAIN. But to miss out on her for the one of the two standard 5★ characters I don't play really hurt.
My motivation for playing Genshin was already dwindling, but this might have sealed the deal...
Stop playing it, it ain't worth it anyways.
heyy i need advice, my account got hacked about a year ago after it got hacked, the hacker pulled for some characters who I do not really like such as alhaitham with his c1 and shenhe. they also pulled for some stuff that i wouldn’t mind such as yelan and hu tao c1. They also destroyed my staff of homa and some good artifacts. I was able to get the account back however the fact that my primos were wasted on characters i do not like really bothered me. I know I can just not use them but the primos i farmed with my own time were wasted on them and this is bothering me a lot. It is also annoying me how it was not me who pulled for them but was that dumb person who hacked my account. I dont know how to explain it but it feels like my account got dirty or smth..I tried to create a new account but I dont want to do all those quests again (archon quests, aranara etc) I really want to play this game and I dont know what to do at this point.
I'm sorry to hear that, while there is no way to revert your account back the way it was, you can still make the most of it by continue playing and look forward to new updates and banners. While I never been hacked before, If I was harmed in any way because of something I wasn't careful of, I would tell more people about my story and warn them to be careful and that will turn a bad incident into a good deed like a silver lining. I'm not good with this but I hope this message will help you in some way. It's a setback sure but now that you got your account back with a more security, it won't happen again. Make sure to connect email and phone number to your game and set up two factor authentication to your whatever service email you use!
Play other games, its the easiest, come back to genshin like ones a month or so and you are good.
And no I'm not talking abt gacha games, there is no point in replacing genshin with something tht is in the same daily quest and artifact grind vain. Something else like hollow knight or even fortnight.
Heck not just games, maybe try another hobby, like golf or baseball or read a book
Playing since 1.0 and I never felt burnout even once 😅😅😅
I feel burned out with this game all the time cause I like it, but I'd really rather be playing other things than gacha but gotta stick with the homies you know
the wat i do world quests is to go on my phone or tablet take off my earphones then just spam space and/or left click or just let it play on its own
Why is this stuck at 8 views? It's great!!
Best way to avoid burnout is make gimmick accounts, you know that's true cause every content creator does it.
I tried that but it doesnt work for me because i feel like i have to play both on all the accounts i make so i just started ignoring the second one i made and focused on one.
@@the_real_tabby Said it as a joke mostly, I think gimmick accounts are only good for doing the main story again since thats the best content, actually committing to a gimmick account long term doesn't help at all.
I have an anemo only account that's Ar 54 and I'm very slowly working through Archon quest while making my characters the absolute best I can. On this account I have the rank 841 in the world and I have nearly every single anemo character except Xianyan and Heizou, I will get all of them and I will C6 my Venti there too. My main account is currently saving so I can C6 Venti on his next rerun, I can already 36 star the abyss and cleared theatre but that's not my main goal at all for either account I just love my Venti and have the aim of number one, one day.
Oh hey, I also got burned out because Dehya was bad! Burnout buddies!
Move it to last priority, or move to another game, easy mode
One tip : If you have problem in this game just QUIT:)
This more about the FOMO part of the video and it's a long comment but tl;dr version: I'm a firsthand experience type of player so I hope time limited events (especially important ones) can have a redownload especially for newer players or at least their cutscenes will be uploaded in Genshin's official youtube channel.
My FOMO in this game is about limited time events so it's the one thing I haven't come in terms (probably never will) is missing out on huge lore/relevant lore drops on those. I'm still salty about the 1.1 Unreconciled Stars event where it revealed a huge lore and the 1.2 Albedo (forgot the event name called) one even though I'm a late 1.2 player. I'm always curious when will I meet Scaramouche and his interaction with us, Mona and Fischl and when will I fight the huge flower in Dragonspine but learnt those 2 were time limited events. While they did made up the 1.1 lore drop in Sumeru archon quest and made Scaramouche's entrance different for newer players who weren't around 1.1, that feeling of never experienced it firsthand still makes me angry and sad at the same time.
I know the solutions are includes looking it up on youtube or treat it as it never happened but I'm the type of player who wants firsthand experience so those solutions rub me the wrong way. Another live service game (not gacha), Destiny 2, made an interesting choice by uploading their old season event cutscenes on youtube. Genshin also did this but they haven't done this with the older ones like the 1.1 Unreconciled Stars opening scene. I just hope (inhaling huge amounts of hopium with this one) miHoYo will make those events as well as other time limited events like the 2.3 Albedo's 2nd time limited event story can be played again or at least upload the older cutscenes on youtube. I'm also fully aware that they might do a dedicated server just for downloadable older events and making one costs lots of money downloadable older events may not be the most cost efficient solution in their end so altering the interaction is the most cost efficient solution.
Sometimes I get burnout whenever I think about the 2 big timed limited events I missed, the lack of endgame combat, lack of combat replayability and the lack of hard mobs/bosses that also doesn't require resin in the open world even though local legends exists now but the rewards of beating them doesn't justify their difficulty. I guess my hopium that Genshin will bring timed limited events back is much stronger than getting the burnout of the things I typed beforehand.
Yeah fomo sucks, idk what Genshin was thinking to make almost all of albedos lore lock behind limited timed events especially with his best in slot also. Unfortunately, it’s uncertain that they will ever look back these events, at best they might provide a way to get the limited timed weapons but I don’t believe they will do anything for the cutscenes just so they keep fomo on the consumers. That is what a lot of other gacha games do but that doesn’t mean we should keep moping about forever, I hope you can find a way to look past it and there more events to come and enjoy and I’m sure the more events you do the more you’ll think less of what you missed out on!
Playing other game of this type (open world free to play gacha game) make me realise how pathetic this game and how dev handle them. Uninstalled already only follow the story from youtube now. My suggestion for people that still love this game. Dont top up. If alot of people started to do that. Then this pathetic, deaf developer perhaps begin to care about the player. Happen mutiple time actually review bombed and stuff. And this deaf dev just return to being pathetic again.
When sumeru is about to come out, i gave up playing.
where can i watch that fischl clip (02:43)
Its not the burnout for me.. Its just that the hype is lost on these updates..its always disappointing that u dont want to expect anything anymore coz the devs always find a way to fuck things up..tbh if not for capitano i deleted this game already..
I am okay with the burnout. Uninstalled a few months back and have not looked back since.
I abandon genshin before a banner I like so I get the free primos
Ok I'm going to talk about a point in particular.
It's not meant to be played a few minutes every day especially if you diversify the game experience but ok I get it... you mostly like to try teams and characters. Is that possible ? Absolutelly. Especially in late game.
You're talking a lot about YOUR experience even if there are a lot of things you don't really appreciate in the game. You really thought that the no voice acting world quests were fundamentally an issue ?
There are good points though. It's not that bad.
💙🫂
easy don't play it.
Don’t play the game
I force myself to finish quests for Zhonglis' rerun. Wish me luck 😭
It’s so funny how obvious it is who did and who did not watch the video.
You know who you are. 🥸
