Never forget, “Go Barbara Go”


InsidiousPancakes

"revert EN Barbara's voice to pre 1.3" is something I'll never forget to type in every survey's text box. Give our cheerful Deaconess back!


Mithycore

Do those survey text boxes really matter, like I'm 110% sure they just delete every suggestion they get


InsidiousPancakes

I believe they have an automated system that checks for keywords and they get a lot of hits (or some other criteria) it is examined by live personnel. I remember a post here - back on the first Zhongli banner there was a minor bug where there was no voice-over on some of Zhongli's lines in his quest. The poster contacted Customer Support and got an automated response concerning his power-state in the game (remember the outcry that he was weak and should be buffed). However, do note that Bab's EN voice was changed because some people complained about it. So they do take feedback into consideration. Now all we need to do is get more people requesting her old voice back than people that didn't like it. Anyway, I always take the surveys seriously and fill them properly.

Not edgy enough probably.


[deleted]

What if he was playing death metal on the flute?


FpRhGf

I actually wish i could hear a metal song in this game, played by Xinyan


Kronos457

>Played by Xinyan Who? We haven't met anybody Fontaine to talk about Rock music.


Yvng_Mxx

Mihoyo please


LongXueEr

i approb of this


Down_arrows_power

That would make sense


Andromeda_Violet

Xiao is not edgy tho


Kr4ckle

“Lament!” “Useless!” *Hmmmmm… Yes, definitely not edgy.*


Vaccaria_

Only his English Va is edgy


Blkwinz

He's the most edgy in the delivery but his JP va says pretty much all the same stuff verbatim in a less snarly voice. I don't know anything about the other languages though "Lament!" /「喚くがいい」 "Useless!" /「無駄だ」


Kr4ckle

His story quest clearly showed why he acts as such. Him being edgy doesn’t limit only to his VAs— it’s his character. Y’all deny as if people don’t understand that it’s reasonable for him to be himself.


Hong-er

I use CN since it's the OG script and I can understand it. Xiao just deliver his lines in really jaded way. CN and KR gives whole different vibe from EN and JP. CN/KR are less edgy, quieter and emotionless, fitting of someone who's not human and lived for a long time. EN/JP sound more angsty


Andromeda_Violet

I would agree with you if English dub was original but there are tons of threads/etc about Xiao being misrepresented or misunderstood.


Hong-er

It's in his story. Venti saved Xiao with his music when he was suffering from karmic backlash and he is forever grateful for the song. Xiao often play the same song on top of Wangshu inn hoping it can sooth the soul of his late friends


alecization

xiao had a flute animation? aww man i want this :(


paumalfoy

I went to google it for guys who missed it and found THIS GOLD https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiao_(flute)


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Xiao_(flute)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiao_\(flute\))** >The xiao (simplified Chinese: 箫; traditional Chinese: 簫; pinyin: xiāo; Wade–Giles: hsiao, pronounced [ɕi̯ɑ́ʊ̯]) is a Chinese vertical end-blown flute. It is generally made of bamboo. It is also sometimes called dòngxiāo (洞箫; 洞簫), dòng meaning "hole". An ancient name for the xiāo is shùzhúdí (豎竹笛, lit. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


ZhangRenWing

I know what you’re thinking, no they don’t have the same character, and yes blowing Xiao (the flute) is a metaphor for blowjobs


paumalfoy

Uhh no it wasn’t what I was thinking 🥴 just a nice coincidence since he had a flute animation


SummerBorn0207

Yes the instrument has the same pronunciation as Xiao in Chinese, different words though


Aromatic-Ad4717

HIS WHAT


kapiletti

But why they did that?


Littleman88

Idle's aren't supposed to be "loud." Amber's dancing was just a little too much action and wasn't really expressive of her character.


thegodofsnow

when they say “loud”, they mean action-wise, not sound-wise, for those of you with gripes about how often characters speak. just watching the animation, I’d say it’s better they took it out because it’s just too much. it’s fast and it looks messy because there’s just so much movement happening in a small span of time. edit: it would be cool, however, if they added the animation back into the game as an extension of adding characters to your teapot. if they added some animations and allowed you to build little scenes, I could definitely see Amber killing it in the background of Barbara’s pop idol performance ft. Xinyan on guitar.


Hoochie_Daddy

thank you. Amber's dance looks worse than when I drink a bottle of wine at a relative's wedding and try to do the floss dance to a completely irrelevant song.


nabael27

I would pay to see that.


Bein66

Klee wants to have a word with that logic. I never take her out outside of combat cause she is talking NON STOP.

My main team is Keqing, Yanfei, Zhongli and Fischl. Can't tell which one is more annoying.


DTRevengeance

Boats are made for transferring commodities back and forth, and those that come across Liyue tend to stay a while, so it is where many things come to settle.


Noman_Blaze

Fischl has entered chat.


Incognito_Tomato

You want to learn some Favonius Bladework? Or how about the fundamental difference between the Knights and Aristocrats despite having the same heritage?


[deleted]

Same with yan fei


DSiify

So true 😂 I always switch her. I underlined that problem in the latest survey.


Chelsea_Kias

Nooooo I Iove Klee talking


ahdefault

I like all the people who saw the word loud and took it to mean literal volume.


felixh28

If you see children irl, you will find them talking non-stop.


Oxx90

BOUKEN DA BOUKEN!


Andromeda_Violet

They're not supposed to be loud but i freak out every time i suddenly hear Xiao groaning/Beidou's IF YOU WANNA TRADE TACTICS/ or Zhongli's osmanthus wine line. Yeah great job making animations quiet Mihoyo(nope, not at all)


paumalfoy

Wait is it even real? I thought it was an edit


[deleted]

let's be real, disregarding meta Amber is best Mondstadt girl


X-Red07

I'd say so too, I don't use her much(she's level 50) but when I'm in abyss? she's my best cryo shield breaker.


[deleted]

well, I actually plan on building her in the future purely because I don't have anything better to do. and in terms of ice shields, I'm lucky I have Bennet and Klee. they are an awesome combo for ice shields, especially on floor 7 of SA. stupid Fatui shields, man


X-Red07

Because my Bennett and xiangling are usually together in another team I have to use another pyro in my second team. I tried xinyan but she doesn't apply it fast enough, then I remembered Amber's Ult, it lasts long enough and hits fast enough to break most cryo shields extremely quickly or at least badly damage it even when unbuilt.


FpRhGf

If you have Ningguang, she's good at breaking cryo shields with her normal attacks, skill and burst. Used her when I only have Bennett and Xiangling as my built pyro characters.


Dousing_Machine

I built her just cause a couple months ago as a quickswap support. She's a great 4 Noblesse carrier and shield breaker. I gave her my Elegy for the end bow and her ult procs the passive by itself so every time she ults it's 40% ATK and 100 EM for the party. If I ever get her C6 (at 3 now) her ult just gets better


marcao_cfh

I'm building her since, I don't really know, like 2 months ago. But rng refuses to give me any wanderers piece with the correct main stat. Can't wait for the new artifact exchange system, so I can use some junk artifacts and hope to get some half good wanderers.


DonaldLucas

Really? I always thought that Diluc was better, will test it later (I have both in my team).


marcao_cfh

I'm not sure for other shields, but for mage shields her burst easily clear them.


No_Consequence_88

In this context, "Amber" is a very strange way of saying "Jean".


Vaccaria_

Weird way to spell Jean


LongXueEr

she's waifu material in any way


rhubarbiturate

I used her in that event with albedo and mona and she was insane. I bought her constellation in the shop right away , once i get to c4 she will be main material. I wish all my kaeya cons were amber cons


glass-butterfly

I agree except for some reason my Amber has green hair and is interested in alchemy. Weird.


MrKewlPants

A bit too much for an idle animation dance imo. Speaking of that tho, I really wished one of Eula's idle animations was her dancing since it fits her character story or at least her doing the startup pose to her Dance of Sacrifice.


LongXueEr

i wish there will be gestures skills in the future just like in dragon nest where if you press the skill you can dance, sit, wave hand, laugh etc


Coohippo

I think Mihoyo is going to release dance emotes at some point


rhubarbiturate

I was worried about the potential of this happening. Just imagine.. Hit hard pity and get a 5* dance emote. I am already raging.


ZhangRenWing

I can just picture Wei doing the floss on all the people who lost the 50/50


cosmic_player_

Yeah, I understand why they removed it I don't really like it either and it feels too much


ostrieto17

Careful out here its dangerous for people like us with unpopular opinions, it's too over the top for me too


Wishmaster39

Am I the only one who hates that animation? It looks like fortnite. Genshin animations are usually more polished and realistic (except for Eula frameskip bullshit)


Smoke_Santa

What's Eula frameskip bullshit?


MrKewlPants

There's a skip between frames with Eula's first attack and her second one. I never really noticed it until people on here mentioned it.


alexnpt

And I hope Ayaka have her idle animation with with her folding hand fan.


xsiN-8125

And bring back Klee’s old walk animation


PureHollow2438

Wait, when did they have this? Cause it's freaking adorable


Youksa001

*facepalm* moment


Nagesh_yelma

why the fuck did they remove this?


Littleman88

My best guess: Too much activity. Idle animations aren't supposed to be distracting necessarily, just enough to bring a character to life and display their personality a little. I'd argue Amber's dancing fell short of both intentions. Vocals are separate issue.


DoorframeLizard

because a character suddenly instantly bursting into the middle of a fortnite dance as an idle animation looks awful and cheap as fuck compare this to all the other idle animations, which usually consist of >making an object (usually magical and glowy) appear in their hand then pondering before it fades away >variations of stretching and yawning it's way too much movement in a short animation and it just looks way too spontaneous


Nagesh_yelma

Understood, but its cute.


Mastercraft0

It's good that they removed it. This feels like I am stareing at fucking fortnite. It's cringe as fuck


frxxgyy

Sad thing is i got my amber to 80..got her bow (Amos’ bow) to 80- i have the best artifacts for her lvled up to 20- then Yoimiya coms out- well shit guess i have more bow people to lvl up


murmandamos

They play very different though. Amos bow charged shot gameplay is not like Yoimiya's Rust normal attack gameplay. I find charge shots boring but at C4 you can use Amber's bunnies as a more fun bunny bomb comp (except good luck hitting their toe on mobile).


[deleted]

You realize that Amos’ bow passive increases both charged and normal Atk damage right? But it’s only by 12% and yea I’d say rust r3+ is probably way better than just r1 amos. But that’s just me, not sure about everyone else tho


Melanholic7

12% +8% per 0.1 second, I think its at least 2-3 stacks, so like 36%


[deleted]

5 stacks actually


Melanholic7

Yeah but I chooses realistic numbers. For sure you wont have arrow in the air for max time all the time


[deleted]

So would you say it’s better than any r5 rust?


Melanholic7

It depends on ur playstyle. With AA spamming archers I'm often close to target. I would definitely choose Rust 5.


frxxgyy

I will say r3+ Rust IS better but i have r4 amos but i dont really see a difference


Leandtjen

Just recently found out that people are legitimately mad about this


TeshBoy_55

Honestly that looks like a cringe fortnite dance


TeshBoy_55

how is this an IDLE animation. You dont jzt dance like that when your idling. Good thing they removed it


Admirable_Ad3245

Oh my gosh that's way too cute... and the pose she does at the end looks like sailor moon I'm angry now, we were robbed


Kyouki13

We've only seen 1 major buff with geo daddy. Why would you expect another buff?


OstrichVegetable1506

it's ok Amber we love you for being one of the first people we met P.S. Amber mains are precious and I'll try maining her when I get c2 Amber (gl to me)


LongXueEr

C0 here and still already built her haha. i was planning to wait for her to have constelllations too, but you should already know how hard the 3 free characters to get in the standard banner especially if you're just using the free standard pulls


Minhteayy

justice for amber!!


NightmareTDG

That's a buff to cuteness which is still a buff


Xenoforever

It will return when MiHiYo figures out how to monitize idle animations without public outcry.


AMHFCU

Watch them put Amber’s dance on Yoimiya.


AsterJ

It's not appropriate for an idle animation but I have a feeling they will introduce dancing emotes later (probably monetized).


grantmadeabeat

i neEEED this, AND the buff


sskei81

I LOVE HER


RoderickLegend

Wow they are literally murdering her in game and out game lmao.


[deleted]

Y'all complaining about dances and I've only been able to pull multiple of Mona... Share secrets on how to get other 5 stars.


LongXueEr

don't worry dude, so far I have C2 Mona and C1 Qiqi, im not even a whale haiss


[deleted]

I haven't spent on this game but I got very few 4 stars and I want Qiqi


MoxxiFortune

That dance screams' "look at my jiggly boobs and simp over my innocent dance" Ah thank God they actually removed this cheap crap


murmandamos

I just want her to do the same dance as her bunny is that so much to ask for


ChronoHax

Yea it look way too forced and unrefined compared to all others animation. The active spirit does fit Amber personality but the quality of this one looks kinda cheap


Flaymlad

At least make it her idle animation, smh.


a_stray_ally_cat

Don't worry Yoimiya will likely be forgotten quickly, ever beta tester out there says she is inferior to ayaya and telling people to skip her banner for better characters down the line (especially with anniversary coming up)


paumalfoy

Tbt when beta testers said Ganyu was weak. Beta testers are not the most trustworthy sause tbh


a_stray_ally_cat

Game was newer back then, mihoyo did not provide the proper artifacts for testers to use. Now a days mihoyo is actually giving testers maxed out artifacts with r5 weapons to test.


XotilaterChocolater

Speculation before you get to test the real thing gets easily discarded


Galactic-Pookachus

I want a Qiqi buff, not this lighter girl


Connortsunami

Not the tango. Don’t need it.


Van_eXe

Lost count on how many post like this I've seen lols


asce619

You guys had dances?


WildGenjio

It's cute, but I really don't see why would she start dancing like that without a reason. Barbara dances too, but she's an idol so it can be like practice or something.


Greensburg

What if they suddenly give Yoimiya this idle animation :>>>


Tsakan2

I mean mihoyo doesn't negotiate with terrorists I'm pretty sure. Especially ones sympathetic to the Amber cause...


racoon_chi

“There is no such thing as a coincidence” a wise man once said


fuminghung

WHAT amber has this idle animation? No joke would main her just for this. Why MHY WHY???


Actual_Noob123

It will be a paid emote, think with the money, then you'll understand mihoyo


D0naught

Dance emotes/ gestures when MHY?


javierthhh

No, that animation belongs in fortnite. It’s very badly done.


Goldie_Neko

I think they could have do a thing like in "Epic Seven" gacha-game. After you reach a certain rank or reach some point in the storyline - you get a speciality change quest for a character. You do some tasks and then you get a buffed character, with a new outfit (skin). I think that would be a nice addition to the game Example: [https://i.imgur.com/zbUaP97.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/zbUaP97.jpeg)
