I really wish genshin did borderless windowed
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
PC genshin needs SEVERAL QoL fixes to be usable for me :[
any other name
I have nothing other than PC I even could play it on, at least until the switch version releases
any other name
I am uh. not a console person
any other name
(I mean, technically I own a ps2 that my old housemates left behind, but that and the first gen switch I bought off my best friend when he wanted to update are it.)
any other name
(and I never use either of them lol)
any other name
(my pc is really very nice, tho.)
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
I can't play genshin PC because it steals my mouse if it's the active window, even if i'm playing controller. Star rail at least will have the cursor reappear when using the menu but genshin doesn't even do that, so it's unplayable for my adhd constantly-be-multitasking ass
any other name
I just tab out constantly
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
i literally never use keyboard to control window usage, it would require a change in my entire way-I-navigate-computer workflow
any other name
I can mouse out while I'm holding alt to activate mouse, but I guess that also has the same using the keyboard problem
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yep. Keyboard just isn't part of my navigational experience and never has been aside from using the windows button to force a full-screen application to stop doing that
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
which is also a sin that MHY games commit, why won't they allow ius to choose windowed mode from the fucking start screen especially when they have long install screens and opening cutscenes/tutorials that run like half an hour
any other name
god yeah
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
that should be basic game design at this point
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
ESPECIALLY if your game has an internal loading screen rather than just a launcher
any other name
yeah like PLEASE let me touch the options first
L'fuckingChaim
...you've been out there not alt-tabbing this whole TIME?
L'fuckingChaim
agreed about things you should be able to do from the loading screen, though
any other name
man I'm doing my daily quests things and. cannot get over the tonal dissonance of 'hilichurls are people' and 'please indiscriminately slaughter lots and lots of hilichurls'
L'fuckingChaim
ikr
L'fuckingChaim
I'm not sure if it's better or worse when it's Definitely Human People
L'fuckingChaim
at least it's consistent in it's inconsistencies
any other name
true I do also indiscriminately slaughter a lot of actual humans too
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yeah that's why I'm a little baffled at the people who go "but they're PEOPLE I can't hurt them" ngl. (not you Cygna because you are consistent in that you also do not like beating up treasure hoarders and eremites etc)
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
also yeah? why would I? what need have I for alt-tab when I learned to do things with the mouse and the mouse is always there for me except in Genshin Impact PC
any other name
I did spend a second going 'they're intelligent, they made a roadblock to hold up travelers!' and then I was like wait that just makes them bandits which are a normal thing to kill
L'fuckingChaim
...I spent a LOT of time with a series of laptops
L'fuckingChaim
the mouse is not always there for me
L'fuckingChaim
also it's easier to keep left hand on the Energency Escape Buttons when one might want to switch tabs VERY quickly
L'fuckingChaim
I particularly hate, as Nael knows, when there's a chest or something in the middle of what is clearly a long-term settlement
L'fuckingChaim
I want all the treasures but I feel rotten
L'fuckingChaim
that is their house!
L'fuckingChaim
same with the eremites in particular
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
I also spent a great deal of time with laptops. eight years of it.
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
i was still a cursor user, the only reason i switched to laptop + mouse was that my current laptop had the mouse buttons above the touchpad instead of below and I couldn't adjust to the switch
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
as you can see i computer like 80% by muscle memory sat this point lmao
L'fuckingChaim
you mean the touchBAD
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
i feel this is another "cygna and nael staring at each other's hotbars in horror" situation
L'fuckingChaim
yeah
L'fuckingChaim
I mean, I play ffxiv on PC with controller because of muscle memory
L'fuckingChaim
but genshin is so profoundly not designed for controller that even with the muscle memory issue it works better for me
L'fuckingChaim
...also unlike xiv it does not matter if I am precise/have good reactions
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
see you have mouse+keyboard muscle memory at all, which I do not
L'fuckingChaim
I don't have GAMING muscle memory
L'fuckingChaim
except from genshin
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yes but you evidently have keyboard navigation muscle memory I do not
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
whereas I: routinely shove my keyboard to the side and navigate purely by mouse
any other name
I type too much to not be constantly using both keyboard and mouse
any other name
I am constantly tabbing into discord or twitter or whatever
any other name
hey goddamnit why are all of these bounties invulnerable to pyro damage, bennett is like my main dps
L'fuckingChaim
to harm you
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
for your suffering
any other name
genshin shut up about 'can ascend' I am not raising my world level I do not have high enough level dudes for that I will just die and then have to lower my world level back down
any other name
"the bedrock keys are definitely not losing structural integrity, and the surrounding areas are certainly not plagued by any strange geo elemental convergences. so please, don't think of doing anything at all."
ah. well. that's not ominous at all.
any other name
god why do I only have one fucking useful greatsword character I am so tired of swapping beidou in and out because I need someone to smash things but I don't need two electro on my team
any other name
I did get chongyun but I only had the resources to knock him to level sixty so he's. of dubious utility. I need to go farm to ascend him to at least seventy, plenty of my main people are at seventy
any other name
anyway I unlocked the chasm very exciting
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
CHASM CHASM CHASM CHASM chasm story is one of the best storiesd
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
CHASM CHASM CHASM CHASM
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
imo it's where you really get your first taste of what makes the later main story (sumeru and fontaine ) so good
mintttea
chasm really is good, as someone who delayed on for years
lyrebright
CHASM CHASM CHASM
lyrebright
Also like if you're on NA servers I'm happy to hop over to your world when I'm available and use my higher level characters to fight some world bosses faster for you so can get ascension mats (abusing higher levelled friends is how I did most of my farming before getting a level 90 team)
any other name
I am switching my team around every five seconds because I need to be able to geo at things but unfortunately albedo much as I love him is slightly useless in a fight
any other name
and I don't have zhongli
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yeah I'd also be willing to come nuke things for you sometime*

*(not tonight i don't have gamebrain)
lyrebright
Yeah speaking of Zhongli you could admire Naels physdps build
any other name
and I am on NA server yes
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
rex "crits per second" lapis
any other name
I'm actually having fun with chongyun icing everything up I just have to. swap him in hit e and immediately swap him back out before he Fucking Dies. gotta go fight a... ice flower or something probably idk
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yeah the mondstadt ice flower
lyrebright
614590727 my uid! If u add me ill accept when I get on later
any other name
will do!
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
anyway for reference zhongli has the highest hits per minute of any character's normal attack as far as I've ever discovered. no one believes me when I say this
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
most people reflexively think it's xiao but he is DEFINITELY slower than zhongli as someone who has both
any other name
oh I just got my ass SLAUGHTERED by-- I don't even remember what those things are called, craggy rock lizard things that curl up in a ball and go underground and stuff, I was too busy dying to notice what it said they were
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
vishaps! yeah they're the bane of the midgame
any other name
I was down in the bowels of the top part of the chasm and there was one big one and I was like oh okay I'll fight that and then two little ones appeared and. I'm not good at dodging.
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yeah they became trivial once i got zhongli effectively built and could shield consistently but
lyrebright
Yeah Zhongli shield and ignore mechanics and take the hits became so much the meta that they introduced enemies that inflict bleed on you (will dot over time and ignore shields) in Inazuma to try and counter it lol
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yeah and while he's the best shielder there's also noelle, diona etc there's a decent number of options these days
any other name
oh I do have diona and noelle they're just not uh. leveled. because their personalities are a little...
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yeah i understand
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
noelle in particular though was one of the most broken units at release
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
and she's still solid
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
you would however have to ask someone else how to build her, i have grandpa
any other name
wow I was like 'maybe I'll try that again with a healer other than bennett' and nope the fucking things keep all attacking simultaneously from all directions in a way that means I can't move and also they kill me stone dead in about three seconds
lyrebright
Yeah diona is still a really good support. I have her c6 and level 1, because I'm not going to invest in characters I don't like, no matter how meta they are
any other name
god why is cryo regisvine SO much fucking easier than the stupid geo cube
any other name
well okay the cube isn't HARD
any other name
it's just TEDIOUS
lyrebright
Yeah the cube fights aren't really hard, they're just gimmicky and take too long.
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
geo cube is the biggest pain in the ass i have a special party just for the it
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
okay no that's a lie ice cube is the biggest pain in the ass and i still hate doing it outside of coop but eula is the only character who needs it anyway
mintttea
oh i dont think ive ever done ice cube. and i actually stopped building every character that needs geo cube. i dont want to see it ever again
any other name
I never manage to get all the pillars to stop geo cube regenning so I have to kill it three times and it's sooooo annoying
any other name
oh god I need 23 more philanemo mushrooms to ascend mona
any other name
wandering around trying to remember where the mats are
any other name
(climbing every house in springdale)
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
any other name
honestly remembering remarkably well for not having played in like a year
any other name
oh I managed to find. eighteen. okay where the fuck else are these goddamn things I will actually resort to a map
any other name
mona to level 80! I feel like I have accomplished something
L'fuckingChaim
Noelle I built by leveling her up and like. she scales off of DEF unlike 95% of characters so you PROBABLY have artifacts she can wear that no one else wants
any other name
god I am. probably not minmaxing my artifacts very well tbh
lyrebright
dw i dont think anyone else in this thread is either (looked at my party the other day and realised zhongli still had some 4* artifacts. most were unlevelled. oops)
lyrebright
i simply do not enjoy the artifact grind
lyrebright
if i can clear content im winning and dont need bigger numbers
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
incorrect i'm an artifact gremlin. or do i have to post 79% crit rate 195% crit damage Neuvillette
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
(not even my best crit build, Xiao is at like 84/205)
any other name
there are just. so many things to keep track of on so many characters
any other name
some of my people still have TWO star artifacts
any other name
mostly not characters I actually use
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
generally (with like, four exceptions) characters want the crit stats and either atk/hp/def/elemental mastery (pick one or occasionally hp+atk)
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
(the exceptions are: Kokomi has a negative starting crit rate so she will NEVER crit, you can jsut ignore that on her; Shogun wants energy recharge; I feel like there's one other weird one I'm missing?)
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
but generally you can take a single main stat for a character and build them around that + crit and be okay
any other name
okay I just briefly paid attention to my artifacts and I think benny will be doing even better as my main dps now
any other name
bc I got him to a four piece set instead of two two piece sets
any other name
and this is a useful one for him
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yeah there's a few cases where 2/2 is preferable (the original hydro set, heart of depths, had a 4pc effect that was basically useless on childe for example so he's usually run either 2/2 on the two hydro sets or 2pc hydro/2pc attack)
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
but usually for starting out, 4pc in the set for their element is fine
any other name
he's got 4pc crimson witch of flames now
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
or wanderer's/gladiators depending on their weapon but you will have those falling out your ears after a while
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yeah witch is the standard fire set... still tbh
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
I have yanfei on lavawalker
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
but every other pyro dps wants witch pretty much, there's not a second pyro set yet
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
(the only pyro dps that doesn't really is lyney who you definitely don't have so don't worry about it)
any other name
where is a goddamn electrogamma thingy when you need one
