This was a difficult video to make, but with the recent Genshin Drama, we have to have a proper talk about the state of the game and what we need to do as a community. With Genshin 4.4 coming out there was a lot of controversy around the new updates and lack of rewards. This was made so much worse with the livestream where they disrespected the Genshin community only giving 3 wishes for 3 years of support. Now I say enough is enough and we have to stand up for the future of Genshin leading up to the release of Genshin Impact 4.4

#BoycottGenshin What do you want to see changed?
Don't Spend on Genshin Until we see Hoyoverse confirm they will add features we need!
Spread the #BoycottGenshin on Twitter and elsewhere.
this is the first video i see from you and oh man, what a well put together video. said perfectly in a non toxic clear constructive way, playing both sides and being understanding to everyone. we need more people like you and i hope we see more people open up with what they want to be done.
me personally just play genshin while waiting for AK:Enfield and Wuthering wave, too tired to care about genshin team shenanigans, they gonna self-destruct anyway. 💀
Genshin could be "fixed" so easily imo.
I'll dumb it down to three things:
1. Patch a handful of older characters that need a bit of help. For example, Xinyan is just straight up broken, and not in the fun way.
2. Expand the elemental reaction system. Geo and Anemo being borderline mutually exclusive kinda sucks. Kinda low priority though. I'll circle back to this.
3. And here's the big one. Give Genshin it's own version of Elysian Realm/Simulated Universe. For fk's sake, we literally had the Xinyan/Childe event that was a watered down version of that. This is also a two for one in a way, because I think one of the main rewards for this mode should be Artifact refinement materials that allow you to slowly over time reroll artifact substats. For those saying "but player retention" I'd probably suggest that the system would also require sacrificing other artifacts to pull desirable substats from or something.
Such a system would also allow them to do lots of experimental stuff. For example, elemental reactions that don't normally exist that later could maybe make it into the rest of the game. There is a precedent for this, because Dendro existed from the start, but didn't used to react with electro.
Boom, new content that can be harder, but not "brutal endgame content," it fixes the artifact system without tanking "player retention," and gives them a sandbox to experiment with random stuff that's also, hopefully, fun for the players.
Practically fixes every major issue with the gameplay (for me at least) in one move. It's not even especially high effort since it uses systems that have been attempted in the game before, and has active, successful examples running in TWO of their other games. The fact that it hasn't happened yet, and doesn't seem to be in the works, is stupid as hell.
And yes I hate the relic system in Star Rail too, but auto battle at least makes it less mind-numbing. In Genshin I have to actively grind away at it and I almost quit the game over it.
Very nice way to start the strike in our end, hopefully the ball keeps rolling like this.
As for what could be done, I commented before that adding as many QoL features possible would be a nice start, but as for what could be done for endgame, I have some suggestions:
1.- Revamped Reputation System: Apart from adding new levels, the bounty system will have increased difficulty overall, and a special "Elite Bounty" that has a lvl.100 World Boss with ley line disorders (imagine the Abyss Wenut in the open world). Rewards are still mostly Mora but XP books or even artifact reliquary can be added.
2.- Overhauled Expeditions: Expeditions can now be used to obtain Local Specialties in decent amounts, all types of ores, Mora, XP books, and with the rare chance of getting a 10 Primogems expedition. Rather than sending a random character, the expedition will require specific elements before starting them.
3.- Expanded Teapot: More Trust ranks overall, discounted prices or faster coin earning. A new bird will appear giving you Commissions related to the teapot, like creating furnishing, talking to companions, adding furniture etc.
4.- Perilous Trail: Back in v2.7, the main event featured a well put out combat mode that, with enough tweaks on the difficulty, can become a fantastic endgame mode different from the Spiral Abyss and that can actually showcase your strength and team composition.
5.- Revamped Banners: I'm mainly thinking of the Weapon and Standard Banners, they are really bad. Weapon Banners should not require you to waste so many wishes to guarantee you the weapon you want, the Epitomized Path should guarantee you the 5 star on your first 90 pulls. As for the Standard Banner, it should be separated into a Character and Weapon banner, with the addition of 5 star characters that objectively can be added due to their lack of importance in the story. Both standard weapon and character banner should also feature the same pity option in Star Rail where after 300 wishes or so you can select the character or weapon of your choice.
These are just a few of the many more suggestions that can be made
The Genshin devs will never add anything else. Low effort, high payout. Why change? Why try harder when billions are made so easily already? The end game is ass. Abyss is ass. The rewards are ass. The relic system is ass. The RNG is ass. The entire resin system is ass. Surveys are ass. Events are ass. CENSORSHIP is MAJOR ass. The interface for the most part is ass. Commission rewards are ass. Daily primo rewards are ass. All but a select few of non-paid weapons are ass. The fact standard characters are more limited than actual limited characters is ass. PAIMON IS ASS. Sweet Madame is ass. The ridiculous amount of materials required per character is ass. "tHiS cHaRaCtEr iS bRoKeN" is ass, who cares, there's nothing to use it on. Billet drop rate is complete ass. Tear drop rate is just as ass. Weeklies needing resin, and still being time gated is ass. The cost of primos as a whole is super ass. QiQi being 90/10 on a 50/50 loss is ridiculous ass. Battle Pass F2P rewards are ass. The rate of drip fed content releases is ass. Other than the story, and the visuals, Genshin as a whole is ASS. #BoycottGenshin
if we don't get some kind of free 5 stor in the next few months I'm quiting who is with me
as a day one player of genshin impact and hsr.
it was a night and day experience.
for genshin i found it stale and all my characters are built and done
so i dont need anything to grind for anymore.
for hsr it was an eye opener i just needed to see a game that listens.
im not for the grind anymore as adulting itself is grindy grind grind grind so much already.
I'm joining the cause with you
not spending a dime from the next patch onwards.
bye bye welkin moon and battle pass.
until then genshin pls fkn listen.
Its not that were ungrateful, the devs have put so much time into developing the game and that can't be denied. But after how much support the community CN and Global and this smack of the face they've given us with 3?! fates which we can grind in 2 days… Along with the skin selector joke they pulled which is stupid. At this point they're trying to grab money
I've been playing since day 1. I have only skipped one event, that was 3.7. I've never been burned out. There's always something in the game for me to do. Now, I do have ideas of how to improve the artifact system and I'm going to make a video about it when the next patch drops.
Finally a content creator who speaks out the truth with no hate, RESPECT
My 2 cents
– Players have a right to feel disappointed / angry; they should voice their concerns by voicing it in surveys / publicly / review bombing; or better yet, stop spending / playing (actions speak louder than words, etc.)
– They should not attack other players / community for being overly positive; that's just diverting attention from the real cause / instigator (ie. HYV); it plays into HYV's play-dead strategy in order to turn a dev-player conflict into a player-player civil war
– If you want to be positive then just stay positive and continue to enjoy to the game, no need to brigade other players for being over negative / toxic (you're not changing their mind, they will take offence, also see above)
– Players should not brigade CC's to also speak up (but good on you for standing up for players); they have their livelihoods at stake and there is a history already of HYV deciding to blackball CC who 'speak up'
– There is no need to attack other players in other regions or claim server favourtism; everybody wants to say they're not the favorite child; the reality is, every1 is on same page hoping for a better gaming experience, you only have a chance to get what you fight for
As for me, been welkin since 2021. Am planning to stop until further notice. But this is more a 'camel back getting broken' rather than this specific issue
#BoycottGenshin what i want from the game is to end the story so i dont have to wait for years and move on. i have no faith on end game content already. we want it for years already.
No. I'm a seasoned gamer and this whole situation sounds absolutely stupid to me. I usually don't expect anything free in my games, but in this game I already have more than enough without paying a single dime. I don't need any feeding from the devs, I only need them to do something that matters for the game, and that is what they do: adding new areas to explore, new quests to enjoy, and new characters to get. Yes they could have put more work in the game's UI, but its not unbearable. And I certainly don't want them to give me free Diluc as an excuse for poor content, thank you very much.
Not the BP 😠stay strong that’s real pain
You literally get a free limited character in star rail
Tl;dr: Karen level entitled greed not satisfied. :/
Game being free doesn't mean you're owed free 50000000000000000 Primos or a free C6 5-star. If anything, the community deserves not getting much due to their extreme whiny demanding.
I'll enjoy literally everything else in this free no-microtrans no-paid-dlc-per-region no-paywall etc-like-every-other-game, super culturally rich god-music deep-story RPG game, thank you. Sad loss for the rest of you :/
I feel the mistreated us, even you love the game.
My main issue is that people are taking there anger out on people who are genuinely excited. I'm one of those people I'm completely f2p and have never had issues getting the characters I want. People are mad the HSR gets all this free stuff and blame hoyo instead of the games specific head dev they make the final calls on this stuff. Look at HI3 for example when the genshin head dev was over there ingame rewards were terrible,but it's now run by the HSR dev and both have a ton of free stuff. People shouldn't boycott hoyoverse and blame them when it's only 1 specific dev. Then there's all the issues with large creators who are actually excited such as Doro.
TLDR; Genshin devs are bad, but the fans aren't much better
Chad. suggestion, u can try to tag tectone for more exposure. he is the one that start and keep on asking mihoyo to change genshin back people keep calling him bad. credit where credit dues, he is one of the biggest streamer in the gacha platform, i sure he would love to react to your vid, he been supporting CC big or small, and asking them to put out video to ask genshin to make changes of the game. CC should not be afraid of negative feedback, espically if they come from twitter, speak up your minds, the more CC voice out their complaint, the more our voice will caught the attention of the CN side of game. People that say our EN voice doesn't matter is dumb as Fuck. people that content with what they give for 3 years is also dumb, play the game for 3 years and for what? the same old shit as version 1.0 of the game. You earn yourself a sub and respect from me.
-Just a normal genshin player passing by
Thanks for putting this out there!
Hmm I just buy welkin before this happens 😫😫😫 say bye to nueav and yae
Genshin needs to add a ridiculous amount of variety and game modes
Good luck with that.
JUST QUIT. UNINSTALL. STOP MAKING SHIT CONTENTS. SHUT UP. THAT'S ALL.
