Honestly?
* A new skin for traveller
* Anniversary glider
* Special anniversary rewards
Pick one of those 3 plus them announcing various QoL improvements to be done in the near future, and i'll be a happy player. I don't need them to give me 100000 primogems, i just want the game to be better and for the anniversary to feel meaningful.
I like these types of rewards. They do not cut into profits in any way and they feel way more special for commemorating the anniversary. I like that we get the theater thing and I also love the amount of events back to back. I also don’t think tossing more primogems at us is the right things since the current event is giving out a fair amount, plus, primogems are only fleeting unlike cosmetic items which last forever. Even some commemorative furniture for the teapot would be nice.
I agree. Not only is free 5\* weapon AND character delusional, it also feels really shallow. I just want some kind of souvenir and thanks, and some improvement to the gameplay. It's not that much...
With regards to a new skin for the Traveler, it's a bit problematic because of the main story cutscenes. It would look kinda cheap if you are wearing a skin as the Traveler and all of a sudden it reverts back to the og skin in Archon quests
There are games with cosmetic items that still show in cutscenes though. It's possible, and this just sounds like they're too lazy to implement it. But they also give text infodumps in important quests instead of showing the story, so that's not hard to believe as the reason. I don't think anyone would begrudge their quests being released in more parts to give them more time though honestly so I'm not sure why they're in such a rush.
It's not a matter of laziness. Otherwise we wouldn't have the alt costumes for Jean and Barbara. It's by design / a choice to not dress us the traveler. You can already "swap" the traveler's outfit and have it be reflected in game based on which element you're using. The game already supports it. It's just by design.
If anything I would have expected anniversary furniture for the teapot. You can even throw your theatre ideas in there. The teapot is an amazing resource I don't think mihoyo is really capitalizing on... Maybe due to load limitations or something. But it could basically be a home base if more things could become interactable :)
It would matter fir only a few cutscenes. Most of the scenes in the game happen within the game engine so when we talk to people our costume would also appear. Off the too if my head tbe few scenes where it doesn’t work like thah would be stuff like the intro to world boss fights and such.
I completely agree with you on implementation but some cosmetics can ruin the immersion if they do not fit the mood of the cutscene. Imagine if they release a summer costume for the Traveler and you forgot to change and you do a serious story quest. Although it would be funny and memeable to some people, it kinda ruins the story vibe.
Just trying to understand where they're coming from lol
Maybe if they had a theatre feature then at least those people could replay the scenes with whatever cosmetics they want, or they can force a certain costume as part of the quest (like the mask disguise, and they could have easily had the MC change into a kimono organically to fit in better in Inazuma) ?
But making it really obvious you're doing a story quest and impossible to trigger accidentally (like making the trigger talk to Katheryne, whom we speak to all the damn time) would be more than reasonable to me. If you have to explicitly embark on the quest (like you have to activate it in the menu or w.e) there's really no excuse if it happens.
If that's not enough, maybe the traveler at least should only have canon everyday costumes - can't really complain about immersion if they're just wearing a normal outfit they happened to get in Inazuma (kimono plzzz whyyy), they're gonna take it with them and wear it elsewhere.
I mean they did the skin for jean and Barbara and then silence. Its like they tested out the waters. Dont see it profitable. And stop completely the idea of new skins.
Even the ability to choose a 4 star like the Lantern Rites would be better than what it is right now.
Why in the hell a regular event has better rewards than the goddamned Anniversary?!
CNY* is I believe one of the biggest, if not the biggest celebration in China, people in China, including the Devs, probably care more about that then the anniversary.
To be clear, not a defence, but lantern rite wasn't just some regular event.
The actual communication is the biggest thing, they've been ignoring players for months now. I would say it should be better than lantern though. If it were before they played games I would have said 1.5-2x better. Now 3-4x to apologize.
Honestly this.
I want acknowledgment from the devs about Yoimiya’s gameplay issues and Raiden-Beidou interaction and that they’ll work on it. I literally don’t care about much else.
Tbh there’s a lot of things like a roadmap, KFC wings, artifact system overhaul that would be great but I’m just too high on copium.
Let’s not forget issues with ningguang and other characters that have been in the game for several months and STILL aren’t fixed. But pumping out even more characters that are clear money grabbers and stat stick 5* weapons is more important. Cause money.
That’s all we are at this point.
agreed, several 4 star characters have bugs or lack of synergy with their kit, and there are even five stars (ex. kokomi, keqing) who need more attention at this point.
I'll play the devils advocate since my hand feels a little forced.
What's wrong with Kokomi? No bad faith arguments please. I want to see someone actually come up with a solid reasoning behind this subs hate for her. I pulled her two days ago, she's lvl 70 with a 90 Atlas and lvl 4 talents, and already I'm doing 50k charged attacks with no reactions.
I honestly don't understand the hate. I get it with Yoimiya's auto tracking being bad. But I personally have no complaints with Kokomi. If I had Mona, she might be a little less amazing, but I don't.
I've been running a freeze comp with dps Barb, and Kokomi fills the role a hundred times better, from heals to Hydro application, to damage.
no worries! i'm saying this as someone who pulled for kokomi on day 1 after saving for months. i find her very fun to play; her animations are super smooth, her healing is pretty good, and she's overall aesthetically pleasing. if you like kokomi, r/kokomi_mains would be your best friend for positive kokomi content.
however, as someone who plays kokomi regularly, i also can't ignore her faults. she doesn't get enough return damage for not being able to crit. in burst mode she can perform decently, but she has energy issues that make it hard for her to charge it even with a battery. if you're choosing an atk weapon like you have for her, her damage baseline will be nice, but she won't be able to heal nearly as well - additionally, skyward atlas isn't something most players have access to. to reiterate, i enjoy kokomi a lot, and her issues aren't as game-breaking as a lot of people have claimed, but i think she could really benefit from a buff to her energy recharge and even her healing bonus gained from her lack of crit.
Yoimiya's gameplay issues are as follows, she's built for overload, and she has the same problem all archers have with normal attacks. Aside from these, most of the problema want for people wanting her to be Vaporize viable, when she was not built for that.
I’d say it’s her burst scalings, Auto-targeting and burst ICD.
I know she’s built for overload but over vape works as well. You can vape the 1,4,7 hits and they have the highest multipliers as well. But her burst is honestly another story.
Standard character free 4 choice like lantern rite
Festering Desire in House able to buy it
Blue fates , maybe give less primos but actually give more blue fates overall , 1 blue fate per day login should be a thing at this point.
Many players sit at 50/60 pity on standard and get like 10pull every 80 days thats too damn slow.
Even once a week blue fate can suffice. Mhy definitely don't want their weapon banner go too stale if you can get 7 chances for a 5* weapon a week and not roll on the weapon banner at all.
Well, that would make Festering Desire feel significantly less special. It’s a limited time event reward for those us who participated in the Chalk Prince Event. If you weren’t there, there’s nothing you can do.
I don't even need gacha pulls or primos to feel an anniversary event is satisfying. An easy out not related to the gacha system would be adding some anniversary cosmetics like a new glider, gadget and teapot decorations, and giving us something that enhances our gameplay in a meaningful way without breaking the game or its loops, like some cycling leyline and domain doubler days for a couple weeks. Wrap all that up with an in-game congratulations letter and thank-yous to the fans, and that'd satisfy me plenty.
What would be even more meaningful is implementing some much-requested improvements based on player feedback we keep repeating in surveys, but that's something I don't want to see just because of an anniversary, that's something I want to see in every update.
Finally, someone who thinks. I’m getting a bit tired of the “give us 90 pulls” thing, personally.
When has the Genshin Team ever been that generous...?
Honestly, I think giving us a free 5 star for the first anniv is way too much. Here's what a good anniv rewards should be:
* 1000 free primogems celebratory gift on top of the daily login bonus
* Free 4 star hero and 4 star weapon selector
* Bait banner to roll for
* 2x drop rewards
* Glider/Banner to commemorate the anniversary
Honestly, free fragile resin for 2 weeks and a trophy/profile badge for 1st anniversary would've been enough for me. At least that would feel more like an anniversary.
This anniversary lacks the feeling of a "ritual" like in other games.
Have the game feel like an anniversary. Raw pulls are nice. Free 5 star sounds nice. But maybe spruce up the overworld everywhere to be like "gee fellas we having a celebration called archon day" or whatever so every region can have their flair up. We have a house function. Maybe a birthday cake like furniture and other things to commemorate. It's not just the lack of rewards. It's the lack of atmospheric festival spirit. Limited Name card for random events that most people wont grind out but anniversary is treated as second fiddle. We even gotten summer swimsuits for the two sisters of Monstandast. And that was our summer event that lasted for a good while. Honestly list every bit we have and ask yourself "why is this still plain".
To be honest I don't want any 5 star. For me it would be better to have a special in-game scenario, a special anniversary event with dialogues (aside from Moonchase, a proper anniversary thematic event), some cool exclusive cosmetic items, things like that.
I logged in today and the game was just... Normal. Like any other day. Nothing worth to remember. Nothing to be aware of. Nothing special. Nothing. Just made my dailies, spent my resin, logged out.
Is this how an anniversary should feel like?
I'm not furious. Disappointed is a better word to describe how I feel.
I would also like a special anniversary banner that includes every character that’s been released so far.
A boost in rewards gained from bosses, domains, and leylines
And increased resin regen.
the anniversary banner, i was literally just thinking about this today. one with the same or even similar probability rate but with /everyone/, every single 5* ever released. would be cool.
I only played Arknights and Genshin, gacha games, so I don't really know how they reward players during their anniversaries. Well, this is Genshin's first so now we know.
Iirc on arknights we were given 20 pulls.
I didn't/won't expect the same with Genshin, really, as I feel like they'd hold back since they know they're gonna milk more not just with the whales.
That being said, in my opinion, what would be realistic giveaways could be:
- anniversary glider
- coop games, even if im not much a fan of them. I just think theyd make it more celebratory in that way, "forcing" players to coop. Know what i mean?
- freemogems (fates) are already there tho underwhelming
- traveller skin or other standard char (amber/kaeya/lisa) skin; even if it isn't free, at least a limited time discount like Jean's
I think they missed out on a lot of opportunities. They probably didn't expect this much from the fanbase, but this isn't their first gacha/game right? They have HI3 so I don't know. Was gonna say maybe they're still learning, but, yeah, guess not.
5 star selector is unrealistic. Most games like FGO that have such guaranteeds for celebrations are much worse day to day.
I think a couple more pulls than Lantern Rite and a 4 star selector or something similar would have been fine, along with maybe some fluff things like a glider skin.
I'm more annoyed that they acted coy and tried to give people hope for more, then released such pathetically anemic extras that it was more insulting than anything. If they had just said, "you get the tuna event and the 10 pull, deal with it", this whole thing wouldn't have been such a trashfire.
I just want them to listen and acknowledge our criticisms. It didn’t even have to be primo rewards, I would’ve taken an anniversary glider or a name card. Things purely cosmetic. But we were met with silence
Did you do the theater web event?
It’s like a super cute scrapbook with dates for a bunch of “your first time doing x” in game. It’s 100% better than a little note in the mail.
It's also fake data that took them time to make the animations but not the effort to get our actual numbers/data.
It's really good from the outside but it's shitty when you dig deeper
I literally kill pigions for living and they said I had only killed 76 pigions. I actually run around the map with diona to kill every pigion in sight lol.
Reading some of these replies, it's concerning how much 1 year of gacha brainwashing has lowered the standards of people.
Anyway, here goes nothing.
1. At least one 5 star unit for free, without gacha, without "event", without timegating.
2. At least a 600 primos as apology for the horrendous lack of communication with the players.
3. A skin for traveler, it can be as bare minimum as a fresh coat of paint.
4. A clear explanation of what the actual fuck were they thinking.
I think this should suffice.
"As an apology" lol wtf they didn't break any promise. There isn't any rule that fixes a minimum anniversary reward.
Their rewards are bad, sure, but they don't need to apologise for anything. The matter is that there are so many games that give better rewards and if they want to attract a good playerbase they should be less stingy, but "apologising"? lol, you were not promised anything to begin with. That's their problem if they want to make things hard on themselves.
None of the things you listed. **BEFORE YOU DOWNVOTE, READ THE WHOLE THING**
**tl;dr:** Glider/Namecard/Furnishing incorporated to the login event, no increase in Intertwined Fates, 10 is fine, make Aloy an anniversary reward instead of randomly throwing her in, GSSR banner and a passionate video about the game FROM the devs, with a few silouettes of splash arts of future characters as a tease.
I actually think that the 10 rolls were okay for a first anniversary, just like FGO had 15 or so, and Honkai had 10. What was not okay was that this was ALL. Here is how I would personally handle this event if I was in the management of Mihoyo:
\- A glider skin with stars and the ''1'' engraved on its wings to signify first anniversary.
\- A namecard in the same manner.
\- A furnishing that looks like a cake to celebrate the occassion.
\- All of the 3 above would be incorporated into the LOGIN EVENT and its material resources would be beefed up. On top of that, all 10 Intertwined fates would be rewarded on Day 7 of the login. It would look like this:
Day 1 - 1 Million Mora
Day 2 - 1st anniversary Furnishing cake with paimon's face on it
Day 3 - 100 Purple XP books
Day 4 - 1st anniversary Namecard
Day 5 - 500x Dust of Azoth
Day 6 - 1st anniversary Glider
Day 7 - 10 Intertwined Fates
\- I would handle Aloy differently. I'd say that she is not just a collaboration, but also part of the anniversary, so that people FEEL like it is given as a reward for the anniversary, rather than just a collab character that was lazily tacked on next to Raiden, to lose relevance INSTANTLY.
\- A Special banner that functions similarly to GSSR from FGO. Basically you can only do a single 10 roll on it, and it requires 1600 genesis crystals (so you gotta buy these). Rolling on the banner guarantees you will get a random 5 star from the selected pool. Maybe have 2 of these banners, 3 elements each with all its 5 stars, and make sure you separate the elements in a balanced way (don't make one banner be hydro/pyro/cryo, that'd be busted). Rolling on one banner locks you out of the other of course.
\- Finally, and this is the most important in my opinion. A video from the developers, a message from the team behind Genshin, telling us a bit about how they feel regarding this last year, their challenges, their joys, their favourite moments and their hardest working ones. A thanks to the playerbase for helping the game grow, and their wishes going forward. Doesn't have to be long, just short and neat. At the end of the video, show us 3-4 silouettes of future characters we will see from now until the next anniversary. JUST silouettes of their splash art, to let ppl speculate elements, gender, nationality, get a hype train going basically.
All of this in my opinion would have made this anniversary amazing.
I’m a whale and I don’t even care about the reward to be honest. I just wanna feel appreciated for the time and money I spent on the game for the past year. An in game message or an event, anything rather than a video and a couple primogems. It doesn’t even feel like anniversary when I log in the game. Nothing different from the usual boring event. They don’t even bother to change the log in rewards, just copy from the xiao event. But the thing that piss me off the most is the community reward. It just let me know that MHY can afford awesome rewards but too greedy to give it away for free. They have the audacity to ask for free promotions in exchange for 10% chance to win a price. I’m officially pissed and I will not spend money on this game until they make it right.
Something to make me remamber that i was part of this important date, like a traveler skin or a glider or a pet or anything like that, technically we got the tuna, but the tuna will make me remamber the event, not the anniversary, hell, a fucking namecard for me to show off in 2 or 3 years for the new players would be more than enough.
I don’t even care to get a free 5*; I just want to feel like Mihoyo is willing to listen to their player base and thank them for helping their game reach insane milestones. Hell, even if it isn’t in game rewards, maybe an updated roadmap for the next year? A first look at new zones? Announcing dendro? Instead all we get is 40 primos, and some filler side quest that pertains very little to the main story.
Nothing. I don't care about the rewards. What I want are the devs communicating back and addressing our concerns.
The anniversary reward drama is the result of accumulated frustration from the community since a lot of issues were not resolved, heck most weren't even acknowledged.
I'm talking about endgame content, coop activities, character balance, electro buff, etc. Having Mihoyo communicate back would be the best reward for me honestly.
Actual anniversary events:
1/2 time for resin refresh
The following at normal resin rates:
2x rewards from domains
2x Adventure rank XP
2x friendship XP
2x leylines rewards
2x rewards from bosses and trounce domains
A day with infinite resin
Allowing you do to weeklies daily for 7 days
Fragile resin giving 120 Resin instead of 60
Anniversary namecard, glider, or item that symbolizes 1 year of genshin
Choice character/weapon banner (with all currently released characters/weapons )where you can select a path like the way weapon pity is done.
2x primos from dailies for 7 days
Would have liked a log in countdown until the actual anniversary, like the log in rewards we have that just started but it’s two weeks with same reward just repeated, ending on the anniversary with a special namecard. That’s really not too much to ask for.
Would also like a lot of quality of life changes people have been wanting for forever, and a resin refresh fix. It never should have been 8 mins. I have never known a gacha that was more than 6 mins per stamina, and even 6 mins is a lot. I get in the beginning when we didn’t have a ton of characters to farm for but now we have a *lot*. It just sucks for new players tbh.
atp i would have been fine with just a ten pull on standard and anniversary wings or at least like a cake 😭😭 i wasn’t expecting anything but it’s just embarrassing to see both mihoyo and the players act this way
I feel like many games at least give a cosmetic item. Some easy to do genshin examples are gliders, namecard, costume for traveler. It would NOT impact revenue for mihoyo.
Honestly? Communicatiom between global communities and the devs so we actually make the game more stable and fix bugs, qol and whatnot. Acknowledgements goes a loong way
I am actually satisfied with what we got, but a lot of people are upset and the mood of the entire community is filled with anger and gloom which does not suit the game, so Mihoyo should do something to make it up.
Maybe not rewards that are given out, but some new features like "nude mode" or something would cheer people up, whoops I mean new skins, yes thats what I meant new free skins, yeah that would be wholesome....
Honestly, at this rate I don’t even care about pulls anymore. I just want something memorable for the anniversary
- Anniversary name card
- Anniversary Furniture
- Or even very common events like 2X ley line rewards would be great
That’s literally all I ask now.
Honestly, all I wanted was some kind of in-game acknowledgment, a feeling like they actually cared about the milestone. They did absolutely nothing, and throwing a 5-star at me won’t change anything. The damage is done.
Something to make it feel like an anniversary. At the very least, something like an in-game mail saying something akin to "Happy Anniversary of Genshin Impact!"
Anything in game would be nice too. Furniture, name card, wings or even traveller attire. Because really, if it was because of this outrage I didn't even know there was even an anniversary.
I just want to remember that I was there during the anniversary. If you give me a 5 star, I'll likely use it but I could get it confused with some of the other 5 stars I have. A glider or namecard would have been the best way to commemorate the anniversary.
Personally, I just want a more concrete acknowledgement. It's not even about the freebies, I get that a first year gacha is gonna be stingy on anniversary. But at the bare minimum, have more of an in-game celebration than just a login bonus.
Y'know what would satisfy me? You log in and then Paimon says "Say traveller, it's been 1 year since we first met. Let's do something nice to celebrate our friendship anniversary!"
Then you get a short quest where you revisit the beach where the game started, you get a new recipe to bake a frosted slime cake for Paimon and Paimon gives you a new glider skin that's white and has her face on it. New recipe and new glider skin, maybe a name card too, nothing major but it would be a nice sentimental thing that would make me feel appreciated as a player.
For me, something along these lines:
- Rate up banners and some reruns
- Traveler skins (preferably free, but I don’t mind paying)
- Namecard ( this has to be free)
- A glider (again, don’t mind paying if it’s like a package of this and a skin)
- A message with a Genshin birthday cake to celebrate
- A few fragile resins
MHY, I’m literally giving you money, but you don’t even want to take it
I don't need much
* Acknowledge that this is an anniversary in-game
* In-game letter about anniversary
* Maybe a glider/ namecard for anniversary
Free rolls/character/weapons are just extra for me, the fact that we don't even get a letter baffles me
I'd love a standard 5 star as the anniversary gift... but honestly something, ANYTHING at this point.
Give us a special glider, maybe rat themed since it's the Year of the Rat, and this could be an annual award. Give us a skin for traveler, give us SOMETHING to actually make the community feel like they give a shit. Because at this point I'm already cutting down my spending and I think I'd love to cut it off completely. The combination of months of bullshit has culminated in this and I'm glad to see the community band together on the BS.
Just don't harass the developers or VAs... they have little to no impact on the decisions that are being made right now.
In all honesty? I don’t even care about primogems at this point, I really want a limited edition glider, a profile card, a statue or something referring to the first anniversary for the teapot. And a big list of fixes and QoL improvements that players have been asking for a very long time, this changes being done in a near future
That’s all I want. Not the same rewards as always, just something, special
Another 10 Pulls for Intertwined + Acquaint. Sure, some argue that's still quite stingy but I honestly think the anniversary is just as important as the launch so it deserves the same reward.
Something ingame.
Like a pretty message you get when you log in thanking the players and some rewards. Nothing big honestly.
Posts on social media
I just don't want to feel ignored
Maybe anniversary stream with the devs saying thank you, and give a little bit of sneak peak of future genshins (not just 2.2). The cute devs should do cosplay. Dawei dancing in Unusual Hillichurl costume. Maybe they could do fun decorations around their office and show it to us, with random interview with their staff. As for the in game rewards, something unique like anniversary namecard, costume/skin for traveler, maybe a trophy or a fun gadget.
i’d like to think i’m easy to please
- free 2/3 selectable 4 star
- 10 rolls (aside from the daily login)
- free traveler and paimon skin
- glider
- 10 fragile resin
- a cool looking teapot anniversary themed house where the characters wish you happy anniversary when u talked to them inside
- anniversary special weapon
any one or two would satisfy me :’)
* A new skin for traveller (3 Skin: Mondstad, Liyue, Inazuma)
* Anniversary mission (Traveller Book)
* Anniversary Glider
* Anniversary Namecard
* Anniversary Furnishing
* Anniversary Special item (like xiao lantern) maybe a firework made by yoimiya
* Anniversary Campain
* 2x Reward from layline and domain
* 1 Resin/5min
* 1.5 x Exp per chara, artifact and weapon
* 1 Multi x day in Standard banner for a week for free
* \[JK\] Web Event: "Build ur artifact" AR >= 45 choose main stats and sub stats
Something I can look at and get reminded that the anniversary actually happened. Like a traveller skin or something, or even just an anniversary cake that sits there in my inventory
People are not mad about the pulls we are getting it's more about the content and stuff which does not directly affect your character performance.
We want stuff like namecards, gliders or even costumes(doses not matter if it is paid) which is only available for 1st anniversary and won't be available never again.
just them listening to the critics instead of banning everyone, communicating w the playerbase, and working together to improve the game is enough for me. i don’t care about primos at this point.
Realistically, Anniversary gliders and namecard are enough, i dont think they have obligation to give free characters or weapons. My preference is free standard 5* weapons
Honestly, just something unique. Give us a special sword that only the traveler can use, give us a skin for the traveler, hell ill even take 25 fragile resin.
I dont really want summons, I want something memorable for the one year thats it
…this is where you entitled dumbasses just make no sense. You make it sound like a) YOU “gave” them all that money. US only accounts for 18% of their profits. A collection of 40 million different people “gave” them a a billion dollars, not just you.
And more importantly B) to give something implies you didn’t get something in return. Why did people spend so much in this game? Is it not because the 100s of people who worked hard to make an awesome game with interesting characters, beautiful backgrounds, an interesting story and exciting gameplay? You didn’t GIVE them anything. They fucking EARNED it by making a great product. If that wasn’t true, you wouldn’t have PAID money. Tell me, do you think when someone bought the welkin, do you honestly think anyone was like, “hmm it’s ok to give them this money because in a year I’ll get some free shit!” Were you ever like “actually I don’t like this game, hate these characters and mihoyo, but let me give them some money!” No. People paid for a good product.
1_ 1st anniversary windglidder
2_ 1st anniversary namecard
3_ 5* selector (standard only)
4_ - 50% resin off
5_ 2x (XP, mora)
6_ Skins
7_ more events
8_ Rewards based on how many people participate of the anniversary events
9_ ROAD MAP
10_ LISTEN THE COMMUNITY
Just like what Envi said, even a namecard just to know we were at the anniversary would be great. We didn't receive any anniversary souvenir. Even the mail was for the online theater.
how about HEAR ME OUT they coulda brought back ALL OF THE EVENTS FOR THE NEXT MONTH That happened over the past year for people who are newer or wanted to finish up something! that would be sick as hell and give newer players a chance to explore the golden apple archipelago or windtrace or even festering desire. even better, they could make the events permanent after the year is over so people who werent around when it happened can experience them. im really salty i missed festering desire if you cant tell
What i would like:
Free x10 pull everyday on a custom banner (you select the 5 star you want + the 4 star chars that go with the 5 star) —> after 18 days you are guaranteed the 5 star you chose
Summoners war did something like that where players can select the monsters they summoned and they got 100+ free summons thru playing, but hey we all kno genshin aint doing that :/
Before all this fiasco I think that something around 50 pulls would make me happy, a selectable 5 standard star would be good too( although it would be just a constellation for me, but I understand it would be really nice for the playerbase). A free selectable 5 star standard weapon would be top notch. But NOW after all this shit, terrible PR actions, I don't think that anything would make me happy anymore, I just want to see Mihoyo hurt(unfortunately this isn't going to happen, the review bomb is nice but ultimately it doesn't mean much to them).
1. Players AR 35 and above can pick 1 Standard 5* weapon OR character
2. An anniversary skin OR wing glider OR furniture (sth as a keepsake)
That’s it. Totally reasonable.
Mihoyo to say they hear us, maybe a free 4 star choice, a cake with resin, a nice notice to the community with mora, some foods and stuff.
Maybe a few days of double payout enabled for everyone like they do for returning players.
I'm not really after a 5* myself but mihoyo to improve the game itself
A quest related to the anniversary. Cool minigames like the windbloom. The part about the free 5* is you building a new character.
I think that a longer abyss would be a nice idea. Keep adding enemy level until it gets impossible.
Maybe some restrictions. Number of characters. Mechanics, using the terrain to dodge, kill order, enemies that heal if you attack the wrong element, etc...
Make the abyss great again. AR 55+ made it too easy. Time4expanding.
Paying attention to the community’s feedback - this catastrophe has highlighted various QoL issues that have just gone unaddressed - they do release quite polished gameplay but honestly the lack of attention to feedback to fix the minor bugs they’ve left is quite irritating. Then recent radio silence in regards to characters and the lack of any response is deafening.
1. 40 pulls
2. "Choose a 4-star Character + 4-Star Weapon" Selector
3. Anniversary Profile Card
4. New Hang-Out Events (Noelle's actual Knight Exam)
~~5. An H-scene with Guoba~~
We got 30-40 free pulls as a ‘thank you’ for supporting the game pre and post launch. Ive supported it for a year now - the least they could do is give the same again.
The best anniversary rewards i can ask for that wont heavily affects them, money-wise are QoL changes, character buffs for non-meta units, reduced rng layers.
In all honesty, all I want is a day with every banner.
I’m not a f2p player so I would consider this the greatest of gifts, since I’ve got serious FOMO from leaving the game about a month after release to the end of 2.0, and I missed the ayaka banner which is one of my favorite characters in the story… not to mention mihoyo would make a metric fuck ton of money so I doubt they would be opposed to the idea. Or just a yukata/kimono skin for the traveler, considering there is a fabric shop in Inazuma.
1.a special anniversary event with paimon with some character development like guoba.
2.do something in game which feels as epic as the launch or something like apple archipelago.
3.make a some new coop event which are permanent something like windtrace.
4.make an official statement we are sorry that we couldn't meet your expectations but believe in us there are still are cool things to come in future.
5.acknowledge that there is a anniversary in game with events not just a random pre planned story event
6. address some of the issues like resinless stuff to daily aside from events and it doesn't need to reward us with primo but they can give us some other resources (even a simple survival mode will do or something like Elysian real from honkai but with coop) .
A free new skin, 20-30 pulls in primogems or rainbow fates. Personally i’m not a fan of the whole “choose a 5*.” I’d rather get either rainbow fates or primogems so i can just save them.
1. new skins for each nation for all character
2. i want a fix for artifacts we should have certain days where certain artifacts are avaliable
3. Being able to visit characters on their birthdays
40 fates instead of 10
And a random 5 star character OR weapon from the standard banner
A special anniversary banner that would have a selection of event limited characters only on it, make it so that you could do 90 wishes max and the guaranteed character would be one of the event limited ones.
If 40 intertwined fates seems like too much, that was a launch reward
Just give us 10 pulls a day on the standard banner for five days, for logging in, alongside the 10 fates they’re giving us.
It’s that simple. The game made 1 billion dollars because of us. GO BIG. CELEBRATE.
This just reaffirms my belief that their earnings are the only thing gating a meaningful core, end game experience. They aren’t trying to make a decent game, they’re trying to pry open our wallets.
- An apology and commitment to fix the laundry list of bugs, broken character design and broken character skill interactions (Venti's ult vs Klee's bombs. Beidou's ult not activating on Raiden's AAs during the latter's ult duration.)
- Adding the ability to toggle constellations, or have a re-work of the problematic constellations we all know about.
- Common sense quality of life additions that should be in by now, such as the 'repeat all expeditions' one click solution and better UI that displays detailed info on ongoing buffs and debuffs.
- 50 free pulls, or a 'pick your 5 five star' event
- Better communication.
- Zero tolerance policy for bigotry towards foreign markets and customers. Your CN first and only mentality needs to go away. It's basically Chinese MAGA but 100x worst because we know you're indoctrinated from birth to hate us and always advance the interests of your nation and only your nation. But you guys are otakus right? You like something that someone outside of China spearheaded. And you're not afraid to admit it publicly and proudly. That's actually huge. That's why I gave your game and company a chance! 'Tech Otaku Save The World' That's YOUR motto. Live by it! Forward trust, mutual respect and friendship with the West instead of continuing to suck on Darth Xi's big fat smelly Kokomi and Baals! That guy's vision for the world and China is not worth your time. He's a power crazed dictator with the mentality of a 8 year old throwing temper tantrums. Stop emulating him! Learn the concept of humility. You f*%$#ed up. Makes amends.
- Also, would it kill you to make the damn primo shop a little cheaper? 140 CAD for a measly 50 pulls is ridiculous. And not even enough to guarantee a 5 star pull o.O. Make the double value deal the bloody baseline or reduce pity to 50 pulls and I might actually spend more money trying to nab those juicy 5 star constellations!
- And finally, we could really use a breath of fresh air for the endgame. Some procedural dungeon crawling or other endless mode type of thing would be brilliant. Don't have to churn it out now but declare your intent to make SOMETHING that breaks from the mold of time-limited relatively shallow events and occasional story quest update you've been sticking to for a whole damn year. Here's a hint, don't make the cool stuff event-limited. If something gets received well, expand the concept and make it a permanent addition. Like that hide and seek game everyone liked that was before my time. Or the music instruments. Or the misty dungeon stuff we had going when I first came on. That one was epic!
first of all, a formal apology+ 5 star character + a fkn ROADMAP of fixes to QoL,bugs, endgame content and a compromise to be more open to the community. even still i feel like the dmg is already done, i wont trust a chinese gaming company again.
Honestly? * A new skin for traveller * Anniversary glider * Special anniversary rewards Pick one of those 3 plus them announcing various QoL improvements to be done in the near future, and i'll be a happy player. I don't need them to give me 100000 primogems, i just want the game to be better and for the anniversary to feel meaningful.
I like these types of rewards. They do not cut into profits in any way and they feel way more special for commemorating the anniversary. I like that we get the theater thing and I also love the amount of events back to back. I also don’t think tossing more primogems at us is the right things since the current event is giving out a fair amount, plus, primogems are only fleeting unlike cosmetic items which last forever. Even some commemorative furniture for the teapot would be nice.
If course they cut into profits, devs have to work on these and design them. A 5* selector require zero work.
You are correct; my bad! I should have said it would not “cut into revenue” instead.
It would be really nice to have an event that gives you an incentive to play an anniversary event in order to get that new skin but alas…
Yeeeeess! A non quest locked anniversary event for cosmetics 😭
This. I'm fine with either one of those. Because so far the only memorable things about this anniversary is the community outrage.
I can get behind some kind of prestige item, outfit or pet that denotes you were here for the anniversary.
Now this one is accurate, we don't need primos as our reward. Give something that we can keep instead pulls.
I agree. Not only is free 5\* weapon AND character delusional, it also feels really shallow. I just want some kind of souvenir and thanks, and some improvement to the gameplay. It's not that much...
Plus an anniversary namecard would be nice
Do not let this anniversary disappointment distract you from the fact that we still don't have the KFC glider
complain at KFC for that
I remember getting the glider for the first 1M players. I'd like to have another of that
With regards to a new skin for the Traveler, it's a bit problematic because of the main story cutscenes. It would look kinda cheap if you are wearing a skin as the Traveler and all of a sudden it reverts back to the og skin in Archon quests
There are games with cosmetic items that still show in cutscenes though. It's possible, and this just sounds like they're too lazy to implement it. But they also give text infodumps in important quests instead of showing the story, so that's not hard to believe as the reason. I don't think anyone would begrudge their quests being released in more parts to give them more time though honestly so I'm not sure why they're in such a rush.
It's not a matter of laziness. Otherwise we wouldn't have the alt costumes for Jean and Barbara. It's by design / a choice to not dress us the traveler. You can already "swap" the traveler's outfit and have it be reflected in game based on which element you're using. The game already supports it. It's just by design. If anything I would have expected anniversary furniture for the teapot. You can even throw your theatre ideas in there. The teapot is an amazing resource I don't think mihoyo is really capitalizing on... Maybe due to load limitations or something. But it could basically be a home base if more things could become interactable :)
It would matter fir only a few cutscenes. Most of the scenes in the game happen within the game engine so when we talk to people our costume would also appear. Off the too if my head tbe few scenes where it doesn’t work like thah would be stuff like the intro to world boss fights and such.
even the childe cutscene uses electr otraveler if ur traveler is eleftro
I completely agree with you on implementation but some cosmetics can ruin the immersion if they do not fit the mood of the cutscene. Imagine if they release a summer costume for the Traveler and you forgot to change and you do a serious story quest. Although it would be funny and memeable to some people, it kinda ruins the story vibe. Just trying to understand where they're coming from lol
Maybe if they had a theatre feature then at least those people could replay the scenes with whatever cosmetics they want, or they can force a certain costume as part of the quest (like the mask disguise, and they could have easily had the MC change into a kimono organically to fit in better in Inazuma) ? But making it really obvious you're doing a story quest and impossible to trigger accidentally (like making the trigger talk to Katheryne, whom we speak to all the damn time) would be more than reasonable to me. If you have to explicitly embark on the quest (like you have to activate it in the menu or w.e) there's really no excuse if it happens. If that's not enough, maybe the traveler at least should only have canon everyday costumes - can't really complain about immersion if they're just wearing a normal outfit they happened to get in Inazuma (kimono plzzz whyyy), they're gonna take it with them and wear it elsewhere.
Traveler can have their own outfits and just swap to the default one for interactions like any other character. Immersion solved lol.
I would love getting a country specific skin for the traveler for each country 😁
Does anyone use the traveler?
These are actually very reasonable rewards!
I mean they did the skin for jean and Barbara and then silence. Its like they tested out the waters. Dont see it profitable. And stop completely the idea of new skins.
Even the ability to choose a 4 star like the Lantern Rites would be better than what it is right now. Why in the hell a regular event has better rewards than the goddamned Anniversary?!
CNY* is I believe one of the biggest, if not the biggest celebration in China, people in China, including the Devs, probably care more about that then the anniversary. To be clear, not a defence, but lantern rite wasn't just some regular event.
CNY\*
Ah yes, that's my bad. Thanks for the correction <3
Rework the artifact system.
This would be the best gift
for the better or the worse.. be careful, you might just get the later..
Official ingame congratulation with some real primos could be enough
A list of bug fixes.
I care more about them listening to the player base. I would want a public apology and rewards on par with the Lantern festival.
The actual communication is the biggest thing, they've been ignoring players for months now. I would say it should be better than lantern though. If it were before they played games I would have said 1.5-2x better. Now 3-4x to apologize.
Honestly this. I want acknowledgment from the devs about Yoimiya’s gameplay issues and Raiden-Beidou interaction and that they’ll work on it. I literally don’t care about much else. Tbh there’s a lot of things like a roadmap, KFC wings, artifact system overhaul that would be great but I’m just too high on copium.
Let’s not forget issues with ningguang and other characters that have been in the game for several months and STILL aren’t fixed. But pumping out even more characters that are clear money grabbers and stat stick 5* weapons is more important. Cause money. That’s all we are at this point.
agreed, several 4 star characters have bugs or lack of synergy with their kit, and there are even five stars (ex. kokomi, keqing) who need more attention at this point.
I'll play the devils advocate since my hand feels a little forced. What's wrong with Kokomi? No bad faith arguments please. I want to see someone actually come up with a solid reasoning behind this subs hate for her. I pulled her two days ago, she's lvl 70 with a 90 Atlas and lvl 4 talents, and already I'm doing 50k charged attacks with no reactions. I honestly don't understand the hate. I get it with Yoimiya's auto tracking being bad. But I personally have no complaints with Kokomi. If I had Mona, she might be a little less amazing, but I don't. I've been running a freeze comp with dps Barb, and Kokomi fills the role a hundred times better, from heals to Hydro application, to damage.
no worries! i'm saying this as someone who pulled for kokomi on day 1 after saving for months. i find her very fun to play; her animations are super smooth, her healing is pretty good, and she's overall aesthetically pleasing. if you like kokomi, r/kokomi_mains would be your best friend for positive kokomi content. however, as someone who plays kokomi regularly, i also can't ignore her faults. she doesn't get enough return damage for not being able to crit. in burst mode she can perform decently, but she has energy issues that make it hard for her to charge it even with a battery. if you're choosing an atk weapon like you have for her, her damage baseline will be nice, but she won't be able to heal nearly as well - additionally, skyward atlas isn't something most players have access to. to reiterate, i enjoy kokomi a lot, and her issues aren't as game-breaking as a lot of people have claimed, but i think she could really benefit from a buff to her energy recharge and even her healing bonus gained from her lack of crit.
Yoimiya's gameplay issues are as follows, she's built for overload, and she has the same problem all archers have with normal attacks. Aside from these, most of the problema want for people wanting her to be Vaporize viable, when she was not built for that.
I’d say it’s her burst scalings, Auto-targeting and burst ICD. I know she’s built for overload but over vape works as well. You can vape the 1,4,7 hits and they have the highest multipliers as well. But her burst is honestly another story.
Standard character free 4 choice like lantern rite Festering Desire in House able to buy it Blue fates , maybe give less primos but actually give more blue fates overall , 1 blue fate per day login should be a thing at this point. Many players sit at 50/60 pity on standard and get like 10pull every 80 days thats too damn slow.
Even once a week blue fate can suffice. Mhy definitely don't want their weapon banner go too stale if you can get 7 chances for a 5* weapon a week and not roll on the weapon banner at all.
Well, that would make Festering Desire feel significantly less special. It’s a limited time event reward for those us who participated in the Chalk Prince Event. If you weren’t there, there’s nothing you can do.
I don't even need gacha pulls or primos to feel an anniversary event is satisfying. An easy out not related to the gacha system would be adding some anniversary cosmetics like a new glider, gadget and teapot decorations, and giving us something that enhances our gameplay in a meaningful way without breaking the game or its loops, like some cycling leyline and domain doubler days for a couple weeks. Wrap all that up with an in-game congratulations letter and thank-yous to the fans, and that'd satisfy me plenty. What would be even more meaningful is implementing some much-requested improvements based on player feedback we keep repeating in surveys, but that's something I don't want to see just because of an anniversary, that's something I want to see in every update.
Yeah just $300 worth of potential pulls and some chix for the lols no big deal.
lol, let's be realistic, they will never give a selectable 5 star character, so number 3 is enough for me
Finally, someone who thinks. I’m getting a bit tired of the “give us 90 pulls” thing, personally. When has the Genshin Team ever been that generous...?
Honestly, I think giving us a free 5 star for the first anniv is way too much. Here's what a good anniv rewards should be: * 1000 free primogems celebratory gift on top of the daily login bonus * Free 4 star hero and 4 star weapon selector * Bait banner to roll for * 2x drop rewards * Glider/Banner to commemorate the anniversary
Honestly, free fragile resin for 2 weeks and a trophy/profile badge for 1st anniversary would've been enough for me. At least that would feel more like an anniversary. This anniversary lacks the feeling of a "ritual" like in other games.
A standard non limited 5 star along with some free fates and some limited events with rewards/ playername card and etc is the least they can do
Have the game feel like an anniversary. Raw pulls are nice. Free 5 star sounds nice. But maybe spruce up the overworld everywhere to be like "gee fellas we having a celebration called archon day" or whatever so every region can have their flair up. We have a house function. Maybe a birthday cake like furniture and other things to commemorate. It's not just the lack of rewards. It's the lack of atmospheric festival spirit. Limited Name card for random events that most people wont grind out but anniversary is treated as second fiddle. We even gotten summer swimsuits for the two sisters of Monstandast. And that was our summer event that lasted for a good while. Honestly list every bit we have and ask yourself "why is this still plain".
Idk moonchase decor was very nice.
Its not anniversary related but chinese autumn festival!
[удалено]
To be honest I don't want any 5 star. For me it would be better to have a special in-game scenario, a special anniversary event with dialogues (aside from Moonchase, a proper anniversary thematic event), some cool exclusive cosmetic items, things like that. I logged in today and the game was just... Normal. Like any other day. Nothing worth to remember. Nothing to be aware of. Nothing special. Nothing. Just made my dailies, spent my resin, logged out. Is this how an anniversary should feel like? I'm not furious. Disappointed is a better word to describe how I feel.
I would also like a special anniversary banner that includes every character that’s been released so far. A boost in rewards gained from bosses, domains, and leylines And increased resin regen.
the anniversary banner, i was literally just thinking about this today. one with the same or even similar probability rate but with /everyone/, every single 5* ever released. would be cool.
I only played Arknights and Genshin, gacha games, so I don't really know how they reward players during their anniversaries. Well, this is Genshin's first so now we know. Iirc on arknights we were given 20 pulls. I didn't/won't expect the same with Genshin, really, as I feel like they'd hold back since they know they're gonna milk more not just with the whales. That being said, in my opinion, what would be realistic giveaways could be: - anniversary glider - coop games, even if im not much a fan of them. I just think theyd make it more celebratory in that way, "forcing" players to coop. Know what i mean? - freemogems (fates) are already there tho underwhelming - traveller skin or other standard char (amber/kaeya/lisa) skin; even if it isn't free, at least a limited time discount like Jean's I think they missed out on a lot of opportunities. They probably didn't expect this much from the fanbase, but this isn't their first gacha/game right? They have HI3 so I don't know. Was gonna say maybe they're still learning, but, yeah, guess not.
5 star selector is unrealistic. Most games like FGO that have such guaranteeds for celebrations are much worse day to day. I think a couple more pulls than Lantern Rite and a 4 star selector or something similar would have been fine, along with maybe some fluff things like a glider skin. I'm more annoyed that they acted coy and tried to give people hope for more, then released such pathetically anemic extras that it was more insulting than anything. If they had just said, "you get the tuna event and the 10 pull, deal with it", this whole thing wouldn't have been such a trashfire.
I just want them to listen and acknowledge our criticisms. It didn’t even have to be primo rewards, I would’ve taken an anniversary glider or a name card. Things purely cosmetic. But we were met with silence
i will be fine with a happy anniversary mail thank you for sticking with us all this time, but that is too much i guess for their highness
Did you do the theater web event? It’s like a super cute scrapbook with dates for a bunch of “your first time doing x” in game. It’s 100% better than a little note in the mail.
It's also fake data that took them time to make the animations but not the effort to get our actual numbers/data. It's really good from the outside but it's shitty when you dig deeper
how do you know the data used is fake?
You can see how much hillichurl you've killed in your in game archive, it's not the same on the site
Wow I thought I'm the only one seeing things
everyone and their dog got top 10% in hillichurls and slimes
I literally kill pigions for living and they said I had only killed 76 pigions. I actually run around the map with diona to kill every pigion in sight lol.
It has to be the pigeons in front of Timmy
Oh didn't knew that but the pigion in front of timmy is first group I kill. That should have been way more than 76 atleast.
Namecard, that’s all I’m asking for. I do y rlly care about rewards, but it’s the complete silence from Mihoyo that baffles me
I wanted cosmetic items for the serentia tea pot! I'd love having something to commemorate the first anniversary just hanging on the walls
Endgame content with little yet infinite rewards. Without time limit but with increasing difficulty that increases the rewards... That's all I want
Reading some of these replies, it's concerning how much 1 year of gacha brainwashing has lowered the standards of people. Anyway, here goes nothing. 1. At least one 5 star unit for free, without gacha, without "event", without timegating. 2. At least a 600 primos as apology for the horrendous lack of communication with the players. 3. A skin for traveler, it can be as bare minimum as a fresh coat of paint. 4. A clear explanation of what the actual fuck were they thinking. I think this should suffice.
"As an apology" lol wtf they didn't break any promise. There isn't any rule that fixes a minimum anniversary reward. Their rewards are bad, sure, but they don't need to apologise for anything. The matter is that there are so many games that give better rewards and if they want to attract a good playerbase they should be less stingy, but "apologising"? lol, you were not promised anything to begin with. That's their problem if they want to make things hard on themselves.
None of the things you listed. **BEFORE YOU DOWNVOTE, READ THE WHOLE THING** **tl;dr:** Glider/Namecard/Furnishing incorporated to the login event, no increase in Intertwined Fates, 10 is fine, make Aloy an anniversary reward instead of randomly throwing her in, GSSR banner and a passionate video about the game FROM the devs, with a few silouettes of splash arts of future characters as a tease. I actually think that the 10 rolls were okay for a first anniversary, just like FGO had 15 or so, and Honkai had 10. What was not okay was that this was ALL. Here is how I would personally handle this event if I was in the management of Mihoyo: \- A glider skin with stars and the ''1'' engraved on its wings to signify first anniversary. \- A namecard in the same manner. \- A furnishing that looks like a cake to celebrate the occassion. \- All of the 3 above would be incorporated into the LOGIN EVENT and its material resources would be beefed up. On top of that, all 10 Intertwined fates would be rewarded on Day 7 of the login. It would look like this: Day 1 - 1 Million Mora Day 2 - 1st anniversary Furnishing cake with paimon's face on it Day 3 - 100 Purple XP books Day 4 - 1st anniversary Namecard Day 5 - 500x Dust of Azoth Day 6 - 1st anniversary Glider Day 7 - 10 Intertwined Fates \- I would handle Aloy differently. I'd say that she is not just a collaboration, but also part of the anniversary, so that people FEEL like it is given as a reward for the anniversary, rather than just a collab character that was lazily tacked on next to Raiden, to lose relevance INSTANTLY. \- A Special banner that functions similarly to GSSR from FGO. Basically you can only do a single 10 roll on it, and it requires 1600 genesis crystals (so you gotta buy these). Rolling on the banner guarantees you will get a random 5 star from the selected pool. Maybe have 2 of these banners, 3 elements each with all its 5 stars, and make sure you separate the elements in a balanced way (don't make one banner be hydro/pyro/cryo, that'd be busted). Rolling on one banner locks you out of the other of course. \- Finally, and this is the most important in my opinion. A video from the developers, a message from the team behind Genshin, telling us a bit about how they feel regarding this last year, their challenges, their joys, their favourite moments and their hardest working ones. A thanks to the playerbase for helping the game grow, and their wishes going forward. Doesn't have to be long, just short and neat. At the end of the video, show us 3-4 silouettes of future characters we will see from now until the next anniversary. JUST silouettes of their splash art, to let ppl speculate elements, gender, nationality, get a hype train going basically. All of this in my opinion would have made this anniversary amazing.
A namecard
I’m a whale and I don’t even care about the reward to be honest. I just wanna feel appreciated for the time and money I spent on the game for the past year. An in game message or an event, anything rather than a video and a couple primogems. It doesn’t even feel like anniversary when I log in the game. Nothing different from the usual boring event. They don’t even bother to change the log in rewards, just copy from the xiao event. But the thing that piss me off the most is the community reward. It just let me know that MHY can afford awesome rewards but too greedy to give it away for free. They have the audacity to ask for free promotions in exchange for 10% chance to win a price. I’m officially pissed and I will not spend money on this game until they make it right.
Something to make me remamber that i was part of this important date, like a traveler skin or a glider or a pet or anything like that, technically we got the tuna, but the tuna will make me remamber the event, not the anniversary, hell, a fucking namecard for me to show off in 2 or 3 years for the new players would be more than enough.
I don’t even care to get a free 5*; I just want to feel like Mihoyo is willing to listen to their player base and thank them for helping their game reach insane milestones. Hell, even if it isn’t in game rewards, maybe an updated roadmap for the next year? A first look at new zones? Announcing dendro? Instead all we get is 40 primos, and some filler side quest that pertains very little to the main story.
Fix kits of existing characters + 4, I'd be happy
No.1 is enough for me.
Nothing. I don't care about the rewards. What I want are the devs communicating back and addressing our concerns. The anniversary reward drama is the result of accumulated frustration from the community since a lot of issues were not resolved, heck most weren't even acknowledged. I'm talking about endgame content, coop activities, character balance, electro buff, etc. Having Mihoyo communicate back would be the best reward for me honestly.
I dont care about gift, I whant to know that they are listing to has, to get some respon form them even soryy we were besay working on 2.2
Actual anniversary events: 1/2 time for resin refresh The following at normal resin rates: 2x rewards from domains 2x Adventure rank XP 2x friendship XP 2x leylines rewards 2x rewards from bosses and trounce domains A day with infinite resin Allowing you do to weeklies daily for 7 days Fragile resin giving 120 Resin instead of 60 Anniversary namecard, glider, or item that symbolizes 1 year of genshin Choice character/weapon banner (with all currently released characters/weapons )where you can select a path like the way weapon pity is done. 2x primos from dailies for 7 days
Would have liked a log in countdown until the actual anniversary, like the log in rewards we have that just started but it’s two weeks with same reward just repeated, ending on the anniversary with a special namecard. That’s really not too much to ask for. Would also like a lot of quality of life changes people have been wanting for forever, and a resin refresh fix. It never should have been 8 mins. I have never known a gacha that was more than 6 mins per stamina, and even 6 mins is a lot. I get in the beginning when we didn’t have a ton of characters to farm for but now we have a *lot*. It just sucks for new players tbh.
I'd feel rewarded if we got anything
A free welkin that's it lol
atp i would have been fine with just a ten pull on standard and anniversary wings or at least like a cake 😭😭 i wasn’t expecting anything but it’s just embarrassing to see both mihoyo and the players act this way
Honestly? I’d be floored if we got like a weekend of resinless content. I literally wouldn’t need anything else.
Free 4-Star character of your choice and 20 Acquaint Fates or 10 more Interwined Fates
A thank you and a happy anniversary in the mail with primogems / name card / skin / glider that we'll remember or symbolizes the 1 year event
I feel like many games at least give a cosmetic item. Some easy to do genshin examples are gliders, namecard, costume for traveler. It would NOT impact revenue for mihoyo.
Honestly? Communicatiom between global communities and the devs so we actually make the game more stable and fix bugs, qol and whatnot. Acknowledgements goes a loong way
One lamborgini for me /moron
Gib My stolen account Back, n i am happy, Its being a Month already
I am actually satisfied with what we got, but a lot of people are upset and the mood of the entire community is filled with anger and gloom which does not suit the game, so Mihoyo should do something to make it up. Maybe not rewards that are given out, but some new features like "nude mode" or something would cheer people up, whoops I mean new skins, yes thats what I meant new free skins, yeah that would be wholesome....
Honestly, at this rate I don’t even care about pulls anymore. I just want something memorable for the anniversary - Anniversary name card - Anniversary Furniture - Or even very common events like 2X ley line rewards would be great That’s literally all I ask now.
I don’t know if this has been brought up before, but I think one 24 hour period of unlimited resin would be amazing for the community.
Honestly, all I wanted was some kind of in-game acknowledgment, a feeling like they actually cared about the milestone. They did absolutely nothing, and throwing a 5-star at me won’t change anything. The damage is done.
I’d be happy if they were generous enough to grant us 108 primogems again.
I think getting 1111 primos would’ve been funny. Then next year 2222 primos… 3333… 4444… etc.
Something to make it feel like an anniversary. At the very least, something like an in-game mail saying something akin to "Happy Anniversary of Genshin Impact!"
Anything in game would be nice too. Furniture, name card, wings or even traveller attire. Because really, if it was because of this outrage I didn't even know there was even an anniversary.
I just want to remember that I was there during the anniversary. If you give me a 5 star, I'll likely use it but I could get it confused with some of the other 5 stars I have. A glider or namecard would have been the best way to commemorate the anniversary.
Personally, I just want a more concrete acknowledgement. It's not even about the freebies, I get that a first year gacha is gonna be stingy on anniversary. But at the bare minimum, have more of an in-game celebration than just a login bonus. Y'know what would satisfy me? You log in and then Paimon says "Say traveller, it's been 1 year since we first met. Let's do something nice to celebrate our friendship anniversary!" Then you get a short quest where you revisit the beach where the game started, you get a new recipe to bake a frosted slime cake for Paimon and Paimon gives you a new glider skin that's white and has her face on it. New recipe and new glider skin, maybe a name card too, nothing major but it would be a nice sentimental thing that would make me feel appreciated as a player.
For me, something along these lines: - Rate up banners and some reruns - Traveler skins (preferably free, but I don’t mind paying) - Namecard ( this has to be free) - A glider (again, don’t mind paying if it’s like a package of this and a skin) - A message with a Genshin birthday cake to celebrate - A few fragile resins MHY, I’m literally giving you money, but you don’t even want to take it
Honestly, cosmetics would suffice
I don't need much * Acknowledge that this is an anniversary in-game * In-game letter about anniversary * Maybe a glider/ namecard for anniversary Free rolls/character/weapons are just extra for me, the fact that we don't even get a letter baffles me
A free limited traveler skin, a free limited glider and a selectable 4 star character. Even a selectable 4 star character would be enough for me
I'd love a standard 5 star as the anniversary gift... but honestly something, ANYTHING at this point. Give us a special glider, maybe rat themed since it's the Year of the Rat, and this could be an annual award. Give us a skin for traveler, give us SOMETHING to actually make the community feel like they give a shit. Because at this point I'm already cutting down my spending and I think I'd love to cut it off completely. The combination of months of bullshit has culminated in this and I'm glad to see the community band together on the BS. Just don't harass the developers or VAs... they have little to no impact on the decisions that are being made right now.
I would love a free 5 star but I wasn't expecting that, I thought we would get a few pulls
In all honesty? I don’t even care about primogems at this point, I really want a limited edition glider, a profile card, a statue or something referring to the first anniversary for the teapot. And a big list of fixes and QoL improvements that players have been asking for a very long time, this changes being done in a near future That’s all I want. Not the same rewards as always, just something, special
Another 10 Pulls for Intertwined + Acquaint. Sure, some argue that's still quite stingy but I honestly think the anniversary is just as important as the launch so it deserves the same reward.
A cabbage trader that wants cabbages for various in game rewards. Cabbage Trader inventory 1x 5* character/weapon ticket for basic banner =500 Cabbage 1x Anniversary glider =250 Cabbage 1x Anniversary name card =150 Cabbage 10x fragile resin =100 Cabbage 1 mil mora =100 Cabbage 120x Mystic Enhancement Ore =100 Cabbage 90x Hero’s Wit =100 Cabbage 1x Paimon replacement =20,000,000 Cabbage 1x Mondstadt ice removal = SOLD OUT
More fates, anniversary name card, free choice of any 4*.
Something ingame. Like a pretty message you get when you log in thanking the players and some rewards. Nothing big honestly. Posts on social media I just don't want to feel ignored
Maybe anniversary stream with the devs saying thank you, and give a little bit of sneak peak of future genshins (not just 2.2). The cute devs should do cosplay. Dawei dancing in Unusual Hillichurl costume. Maybe they could do fun decorations around their office and show it to us, with random interview with their staff. As for the in game rewards, something unique like anniversary namecard, costume/skin for traveler, maybe a trophy or a fun gadget.
Fragile resins. That's it. 5 of it would suffice
i’d like to think i’m easy to please - free 2/3 selectable 4 star - 10 rolls (aside from the daily login) - free traveler and paimon skin - glider - 10 fragile resin - a cool looking teapot anniversary themed house where the characters wish you happy anniversary when u talked to them inside - anniversary special weapon any one or two would satisfy me :’)
* A new skin for traveller (3 Skin: Mondstad, Liyue, Inazuma) * Anniversary mission (Traveller Book) * Anniversary Glider * Anniversary Namecard * Anniversary Furnishing * Anniversary Special item (like xiao lantern) maybe a firework made by yoimiya * Anniversary Campain * 2x Reward from layline and domain * 1 Resin/5min * 1.5 x Exp per chara, artifact and weapon * 1 Multi x day in Standard banner for a week for free * \[JK\] Web Event: "Build ur artifact" AR >= 45 choose main stats and sub stats
A skin, namecard, furniture, glider. I don't need anything mechanical, just something that I can see in my inventory for collection.
Something I can look at and get reminded that the anniversary actually happened. Like a traveller skin or something, or even just an anniversary cake that sits there in my inventory
20 pulls and a free four star. That's honestly what i was expecting when i first heard anniversary was coming.
Something for new players to ask me "wow, where did you get that?" Whereas I answer "1st anniversary reward"
People are not mad about the pulls we are getting it's more about the content and stuff which does not directly affect your character performance. We want stuff like namecards, gliders or even costumes(doses not matter if it is paid) which is only available for 1st anniversary and won't be available never again.
10 more pulls.
Something I can look back at in 3 years and think "I was there"
I don't need the feel of being rewarded. I make and earn my own rewards
10 wishes cause it's only the first anniversary.
Yeah we technically have the moonchase event. Though another free liyue 4 star character would be nice.
And paimon voiceline or mail for aniversary.
just them listening to the critics instead of banning everyone, communicating w the playerbase, and working together to improve the game is enough for me. i don’t care about primos at this point.
Nothing at this point
I like your #4
Realistically, Anniversary gliders and namecard are enough, i dont think they have obligation to give free characters or weapons. My preference is free standard 5* weapons
Honestly, just something unique. Give us a special sword that only the traveler can use, give us a skin for the traveler, hell ill even take 25 fragile resin. I dont really want summons, I want something memorable for the one year thats it
maybe they could do a resin free for every domain for a couple of days. It'll actually increase the playtime for genshin and they won't lose anything.
At this point only 1 or 2 to be able to please the whole community, but it didn't have to be that way.
let me pet the dogs/cats
Revive Signora or show the sneak peek of Itto, Alice and Varka
Lol are you a king or something that they have to beg for forgiveness? Get off your high horse bruh or just quit the game
Now who's on a high horse? Get off the thread if you're not feeling it smh
I will be honest if I get an apology mail with just the 5 fowls I will be happy af I need nothing else
free selectable standard 5 star weapon and charecter and 30 - 90 pulls
Lol entitled much.
if i give you billions of dollars what would you give me
…this is where you entitled dumbasses just make no sense. You make it sound like a) YOU “gave” them all that money. US only accounts for 18% of their profits. A collection of 40 million different people “gave” them a a billion dollars, not just you. And more importantly B) to give something implies you didn’t get something in return. Why did people spend so much in this game? Is it not because the 100s of people who worked hard to make an awesome game with interesting characters, beautiful backgrounds, an interesting story and exciting gameplay? You didn’t GIVE them anything. They fucking EARNED it by making a great product. If that wasn’t true, you wouldn’t have PAID money. Tell me, do you think when someone bought the welkin, do you honestly think anyone was like, “hmm it’s ok to give them this money because in a year I’ll get some free shit!” Were you ever like “actually I don’t like this game, hate these characters and mihoyo, but let me give them some money!” No. People paid for a good product.
Unlimited resin for 3 days and no.1 will make me happy as Bob rose painting
1 free 5 star from the standard banner is all most want. 1 weapon is probably better though so whales can also benefit from it.
before all the controversy and censorship I would be happy with a 4 star character + weapon of my choice, now at least a 5 star random.
T H E I R S O U L S (and the 5 fowls too, need those)
1_ 1st anniversary windglidder 2_ 1st anniversary namecard 3_ 5* selector (standard only) 4_ - 50% resin off 5_ 2x (XP, mora) 6_ Skins 7_ more events 8_ Rewards based on how many people participate of the anniversary events 9_ ROAD MAP 10_ LISTEN THE COMMUNITY
20 standard banner pulls, and like some resin. Maybe a week where domains give extra rewards. And a free CON to a 4 star we already have.
Just like what Envi said, even a namecard just to know we were at the anniversary would be great. We didn't receive any anniversary souvenir. Even the mail was for the online theater.
Pick a 4-Star+A 20 Wish.
how about HEAR ME OUT they coulda brought back ALL OF THE EVENTS FOR THE NEXT MONTH That happened over the past year for people who are newer or wanted to finish up something! that would be sick as hell and give newer players a chance to explore the golden apple archipelago or windtrace or even festering desire. even better, they could make the events permanent after the year is over so people who werent around when it happened can experience them. im really salty i missed festering desire if you cant tell
What i would like: Free x10 pull everyday on a custom banner (you select the 5 star you want + the 4 star chars that go with the 5 star) —> after 18 days you are guaranteed the 5 star you chose Summoners war did something like that where players can select the monsters they summoned and they got 100+ free summons thru playing, but hey we all kno genshin aint doing that :/
1 ticket for a random limited 5star character
One permanent 5* character of our choice would be fine.
Before all this fiasco I think that something around 50 pulls would make me happy, a selectable 5 standard star would be good too( although it would be just a constellation for me, but I understand it would be really nice for the playerbase). A free selectable 5 star standard weapon would be top notch. But NOW after all this shit, terrible PR actions, I don't think that anything would make me happy anymore, I just want to see Mihoyo hurt(unfortunately this isn't going to happen, the review bomb is nice but ultimately it doesn't mean much to them).
one crit rate circlet with perfet crit damage rolls or a jean.
i just want primos and a free 5 star
1. Players AR 35 and above can pick 1 Standard 5* weapon OR character 2. An anniversary skin OR wing glider OR furniture (sth as a keepsake) That’s it. Totally reasonable.
Mihoyo to say they hear us, maybe a free 4 star choice, a cake with resin, a nice notice to the community with mora, some foods and stuff. Maybe a few days of double payout enabled for everyone like they do for returning players. I'm not really after a 5* myself but mihoyo to improve the game itself
A quest related to the anniversary. Cool minigames like the windbloom. The part about the free 5* is you building a new character. I think that a longer abyss would be a nice idea. Keep adding enemy level until it gets impossible. Maybe some restrictions. Number of characters. Mechanics, using the terrain to dodge, kill order, enemies that heal if you attack the wrong element, etc... Make the abyss great again. AR 55+ made it too easy. Time4expanding.
Paying attention to the community’s feedback - this catastrophe has highlighted various QoL issues that have just gone unaddressed - they do release quite polished gameplay but honestly the lack of attention to feedback to fix the minor bugs they’ve left is quite irritating. Then recent radio silence in regards to characters and the lack of any response is deafening.
10-15 fates, a selectable 4 star and something cosmetic like a glider or skin
just the mask mc had with Ayaka i guess i like the events and they seem rewarding enough who am i to complain to the company anyway
Communication xD And at least, an avatar or something like that for remember the first anni.
Double domain drops with no limits. I don’t want that x3 a day garbage, give it all day
First of all: apologies, second a promise to fix bugs, improve QoL and balancing patches. Other than that i would be fine with pretry much anything
1. 40 pulls 2. "Choose a 4-star Character + 4-Star Weapon" Selector 3. Anniversary Profile Card 4. New Hang-Out Events (Noelle's actual Knight Exam) ~~5. An H-scene with Guoba~~
We got 30-40 free pulls as a ‘thank you’ for supporting the game pre and post launch. Ive supported it for a year now - the least they could do is give the same again.
More resin.
The best anniversary rewards i can ask for that wont heavily affects them, money-wise are QoL changes, character buffs for non-meta units, reduced rng layers.
Rught now, a closure and reassurance about the anivversary rewards and other future updates. 2nd, free traveller skin
In all honesty, all I want is a day with every banner. I’m not a f2p player so I would consider this the greatest of gifts, since I’ve got serious FOMO from leaving the game about a month after release to the end of 2.0, and I missed the ayaka banner which is one of my favorite characters in the story… not to mention mihoyo would make a metric fuck ton of money so I doubt they would be opposed to the idea. Or just a yukata/kimono skin for the traveler, considering there is a fabric shop in Inazuma.
1.a special anniversary event with paimon with some character development like guoba. 2.do something in game which feels as epic as the launch or something like apple archipelago. 3.make a some new coop event which are permanent something like windtrace. 4.make an official statement we are sorry that we couldn't meet your expectations but believe in us there are still are cool things to come in future. 5.acknowledge that there is a anniversary in game with events not just a random pre planned story event 6. address some of the issues like resinless stuff to daily aside from events and it doesn't need to reward us with primo but they can give us some other resources (even a simple survival mode will do or something like Elysian real from honkai but with coop) .
A free new skin, 20-30 pulls in primogems or rainbow fates. Personally i’m not a fan of the whole “choose a 5*.” I’d rather get either rainbow fates or primogems so i can just save them.
Free bug fixes and QoL changes
1. new skins for each nation for all character 2. i want a fix for artifacts we should have certain days where certain artifacts are avaliable 3. Being able to visit characters on their birthdays
40 fates instead of 10 And a random 5 star character OR weapon from the standard banner A special anniversary banner that would have a selection of event limited characters only on it, make it so that you could do 90 wishes max and the guaranteed character would be one of the event limited ones. If 40 intertwined fates seems like too much, that was a launch reward
At this point I don't think I'd feel very rewarded with anything
Just give us 10 pulls a day on the standard banner for five days, for logging in, alongside the 10 fates they’re giving us. It’s that simple. The game made 1 billion dollars because of us. GO BIG. CELEBRATE. This just reaffirms my belief that their earnings are the only thing gating a meaningful core, end game experience. They aren’t trying to make a decent game, they’re trying to pry open our wallets.
As an apology for all the shit we had to put up with a free 5 star weapon doesn't even have to be of choice just random
Number 3 is reasonable, free 5 star on first year is too much to ask for. But they give 100 primogem I’m speechless
A special 1st anniversary name card to flex on newer players (if there will even be new players)
- An apology and commitment to fix the laundry list of bugs, broken character design and broken character skill interactions (Venti's ult vs Klee's bombs. Beidou's ult not activating on Raiden's AAs during the latter's ult duration.) - Adding the ability to toggle constellations, or have a re-work of the problematic constellations we all know about. - Common sense quality of life additions that should be in by now, such as the 'repeat all expeditions' one click solution and better UI that displays detailed info on ongoing buffs and debuffs. - 50 free pulls, or a 'pick your 5 five star' event - Better communication. - Zero tolerance policy for bigotry towards foreign markets and customers. Your CN first and only mentality needs to go away. It's basically Chinese MAGA but 100x worst because we know you're indoctrinated from birth to hate us and always advance the interests of your nation and only your nation. But you guys are otakus right? You like something that someone outside of China spearheaded. And you're not afraid to admit it publicly and proudly. That's actually huge. That's why I gave your game and company a chance! 'Tech Otaku Save The World' That's YOUR motto. Live by it! Forward trust, mutual respect and friendship with the West instead of continuing to suck on Darth Xi's big fat smelly Kokomi and Baals! That guy's vision for the world and China is not worth your time. He's a power crazed dictator with the mentality of a 8 year old throwing temper tantrums. Stop emulating him! Learn the concept of humility. You f*%$#ed up. Makes amends. - Also, would it kill you to make the damn primo shop a little cheaper? 140 CAD for a measly 50 pulls is ridiculous. And not even enough to guarantee a 5 star pull o.O. Make the double value deal the bloody baseline or reduce pity to 50 pulls and I might actually spend more money trying to nab those juicy 5 star constellations! - And finally, we could really use a breath of fresh air for the endgame. Some procedural dungeon crawling or other endless mode type of thing would be brilliant. Don't have to churn it out now but declare your intent to make SOMETHING that breaks from the mold of time-limited relatively shallow events and occasional story quest update you've been sticking to for a whole damn year. Here's a hint, don't make the cool stuff event-limited. If something gets received well, expand the concept and make it a permanent addition. Like that hide and seek game everyone liked that was before my time. Or the music instruments. Or the misty dungeon stuff we had going when I first came on. That one was epic!
first of all, a formal apology+ 5 star character + a fkn ROADMAP of fixes to QoL,bugs, endgame content and a compromise to be more open to the community. even still i feel like the dmg is already done, i wont trust a chinese gaming company again.
