While gamers normally get delighted about fancy brand-new additions like characters and areas, this significant upgrade likewise brings quality-of-life functions. The devs have actually reduced late-game requirements and included a device to decrease grinding for certain products. Nevertheless, not everybody enjoys. Some veteran gamers are regreting the modifications.
The “Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn” upgrade presented modifications that minimize grind. The brand-new area Natlan and its Archon Quests are now available to early and mid-game gamers, so they do not require to withstand lots of hours of missions to play the brand-new story or check out the area. Furthermore, a brand-new device makes constructing strong characters less laborious. Gamers can now custom-design artifacts instead of over and over again playing to get the ideal one.
Committed gamers who’ve invested years grinding appear salty. In one viral video, text over Kazuha jumping off a cliff states, “how it feels understanding i can personalize artifacts now.” The leading remark, with over 13,300 likes, states, “these brand-new gens will never ever comprehend what i went through to get my xiao artifacts.” Another video, with over 1.6 million views, reveals a pleased individual till the tone modifications, exposing an “OG Genshin fan” crouching over a table.
In the remark areas, some state these modifications are “making genshin simple.” I do not believe minimizing grind makes it simple, however I comprehend. Farming for the best artifacts can take weeks or months. It’s strenuous and makes you question why you play. Still, I’m happy the devs are making these modifications. They need to have done it earlier. If they had, the bitterness would not be so strong.
