why is it that whenever someone is doing SOMETHING unethetical, that man is involved

#hostility of the zapolyarny water cooler 🤣 #arlecchino #and others lol #art #genshin spoilers #4.6 spoilers #arlecchino story quest spoilers #q

Why do you make the most banger posts and then turn off reblogs /j want everyone on my blog to know Lyney is just a poor silly little dude

LMAO I just see them as things I say in the comfort of my own home (blog) and I want them to stay there fnbenskjfbfwjs but oh my god he really is 😭 in my mind's eye he's assigned to an image of a soggy wet kitten

#ive had text posts on my old blog go viral or at the very least leave my tumblr circle #and after a while idk it just got kinda uncomfortable esp if it was something pretty personal/venting #so when they introduced the ability to disable reblogs i was immediately on that shit so its just a habit now #asks #anon

also i feel bad for lyney he is literally just the guy who is constantly taking Ls i feel he was marketed as the token flirty smooth talking 10 steps ahead of you kind of guy but every time he shows up i just think of that moment in the archon quest where he and lynette are looking at you like "🥺 pls don't be mad at us just bc we're fatui" and how wriothesley bamboozled him to hell and back

#he's just trying to protect his family i can respect that #but also. i'm sorry lyney you've been kind of pathetic so far/used as the guy who doesn't know anything #0.txt #genshin spoilers #4.6 spoilers #on that note this is actually making me think more about the parallels between wriothesley and arlecchino #but i don't have the brain power to be insane about that right now

okay okay arlecchino story quest thoughts

overall i liked it but mainly the whole duel sequence which was fucking awesome but some points that bugged me:

the release of arlecchino's animated short basically spoiling the entire story quest

mentioned in the tags of my previous post but yeah i think the story quest would have been a lot more... idk interesting? revealing? if the animated short had been released after this patch/story quest. you basically spend the entire first half of the story quest already knowing the "twist" and have to watch literally everyone else figure it out which is never really engaging nor fun story telling.

like you KNOWWW arlecchino is not "that evil" and you KNOWWWWW all these atrocities were from the previous knave so seeing literally everybody go through these theatrics is a little. sigh. idk. like i was just waiting to get to the boss fight bc i knew the corresponding cutscenes would be awesome (and they were) and getting random fatui insider knowledge was fun i enjoyed having what was effectively seeing arlecchino and childe in the office break room but we didn't really learn anything we didn't already know

also. arlecchino is hardly the first but it really is just kinda. sigh when you basically get a whole scene of the character explaining their OWN tragic backstory. once again genshin fails to show not tell

freminet

i know a lot of people are upset about the freminet timeline. honestly idc at this point i'll suspend my belief whatever yadda yadda but i do think it was a cop out for freminet to have like. not at least been SUSPICIOUS that clervie was possibly talking about the previous knave just because crucabena "didn't talk about it and all the experiments ended" by the time he joined the house

like he spent a significant time with clervie (half a month right?) trying to help her out and even if clervie was "a child stuck in the past" she wasn't exactly trying to hide anything and they ALL knew she was some sort of ghost or maybe something tied to memories/leylines. and he KNEW crucabena so i'm just like. a little aghast he didn't have any damn idea like at least make him suspicious right so he and the traveler can join heads and be like "hmmmmmmm something is not right here HMMMMMMMMM" like if you are SO sure arlecchino isn't "that kind of person" (ig this was more lyney saying this but still) wouldn't you consider maaaaaaaaaaaybe the previous knaves were?

there was a single moment when they were at the table sharing intel that freminet was "lost in thought" and i think that would have been a fantastic moment for freminet to be the star and voice his suspicious but we got literally nothing from that.

honestly just disappointed freminet didn't do more in the story tbh. the trailer was really hyping him up to literally change the game lol

the results of the duel

i mean we saw it coming we knew she was gonna spare those children somehow. idrk how to describe it like on one hand yes would be nice to have more morally fucked up characters and its a little disappointing that arlecchino isn't "that bad" she's actually super normal all things considering (childe fucking LIED) on the other hand i don't necessarily hate this is the way they made her character? but the result of the duel still felt like a huge cop out lmao like it was basically an indirect "your resolve towards family impressed me so i'll let them live" which was exactly how i didn't want this to be resolved but also don't know how they would have done it otherwise

arlecchino's curse/flames/????????

GIRL CAN YOU ELABORATE PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE i know it has to do with her being part of some khaenrian (?) bloodline or something but lajdksfldjflads can you elaborate what do you mean your flames can be extracted and burn memories we're just all gonna take that and run with it huh

anyways.

regardless i loved the main battle cutscene in her boss form. loved that bit where she blocked freminet and lynette's dual attack and was like "sorry for what? this pitiful excuse for an attack?" i was banging my fist on the table i loved that bit sooooooooooo fucking much dear god

ending cutscene was expected and bittersweet but i liked it a lot as well. really the graphics and me just really liking arlecchino saved this quest for me LOL i think it has a lot of plot holes compared to other story quests but also a much more interesting story (bar is in hell) although you're guaranteed to get some sort of lore with a weekly boss but anyways it averages out to being a pretty okay but not spectacular story quest 👍 maybe like a 6/10, would have rated it higher if the animated short didn't spoil everything

classic genshin trailer making a story quest seem a lot more dramatic than it actually is LMAO

#genshin spoilers #4.6 spoilers #0.txt #doing arlecchino's quest now and like. the whole premise is kinda a let down LMAO #like it seemed a lot more. serious? grave? but in reality nah we're just ghost hunters #however i loved the part where lynette popped out of nowhere and was like ALL OF YOU. DUMBASSES. love ya girl that was good #also i now feel like an idiot for being like oh yeah pink haired girl is a melusine ajsfkdlajsf #looking back at that art what i thought were melusine ears was like. her ahoge and bow #anyways. i'll shut up now and actually do this quest asklfjdfas #oh another thing #the release of the arlecchino short makes how this is gonna turn out soooooo predictable #i feel like it might have been better to release it after the story quest. more mystery/story telling #but i guess it depends on how they do the reveal in-game #but i'm talking out of my ass too much without doing the quest OKAY I'LL SHUT UP FR NOW AJDFKLA

hi, i hope it's okay to ask this, what do vertical and horizontal investment refer to?

yeah ofc it's okay! basically

vertical investment: focusing on making a few units very strong. so for genshin stuff like getting character constellations, their signature weapons, maybe even C6R5, triple crowning, the best artifacts, building supports specifically for them, etc.

horizontal investment: focusing on building a bunch of units even if only to mediocrity. so like leveling everyone to at least 70+, only focusing on some talents, giving everyone artifacts even if they're not that great, etc. you might not have the strongest characters ever but everyone is usable

the spiral abyss is well suited for vertical investment bc ultimately you just need two sides that hit really hard

#asks #detectiveseapancake #obviously you can do both but it requires a lot of time and resources esp with that artifact rng lmao #hence calling it an investment #these terms aren't genshin specific you can use them for any game that involves building some sort of roster #personally i consider myself a horizontal investor who has played long enough to vertically invest dmhfnnsjhdhdj #although im not full horizontal there are still quite a few characters i havent built

[c6jpg]

skimming through the leaks, i guess the tldr; is that the new endgame content focuses on randomized horizontal investment which i'm personally super excited for but i understand people who prefer/have already done a lot of vertical investment will find it really annoying. especially those who focus on specific elements i know there's a bunch of accounts out there like that, and in general horizontal investment definitely feeds off of genshin being a gacha in the first place

i'm definitely not happy about them changing abyss to reset monthly though like we finally get new endgame content at the cost of them taking away endgame content? like idgaf about rewards with how far my account is but at least it gives you something to do lol

#0.txt #genshin leaks #i always found randomized abyss plays super fun but you can't get far with it since abyss is made for vertical investment #but i always found it fun to figure out how to make teams with 0 synergy work #we've had some events that were kinda like that and they were always really fun #so having a game mode that specifically supports something like that is something i would really like #esp bc i'm a 1.1 player and have SOOOOO many built but benched characters #even if it starts out easy i wouldn't be surprised if the difficulty ramps up. i mean abyss was like that
