Words cannot describe how insane this data breach was. Apparently everything is laid out in the open for the taking now. Genshin Impact just went nuclear.

To help people understand about this leak (no spoilers):
There are NO image leaks/models/maps/quests etc… only text leaks.
What was leaked is the "server side request database".
Genshin (and a lot of other online games) works by having a "client side" and a "server side". The client side, which is the actual game downloaded and updated on your device, stores all of the assets of the game (models, icons, maps, effects etc..).
To put it into perspective lets use an example:
Lets say you have Yoimiya and You want to put her in your team. You open the team setup screen and select a spot to select the character. What happens in the background is that the Client, which has the model for Yoimiya, requests access to it from the server. The server checks the UID of the requester and if your account has Yoimiya it gives an OK signal back to the client. The result is that the client will show you Yoimiya's icon in the character selection screen. This back and forth happens for everything you do in genshin and very fast thanks to the magic of the internet.
What got leaked is EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE REQUEST a client can make to the server up until version 4.0. This includes characters, their skills (name of the skill and some basic description NOT the full kit), Archon quests (NOT the content of the quest only that it exists) and a lot more.
The reason why we don't see actual Fontaine pictures flying around is because there is no "4.0" client that actually has the models downloaded to showcase the requested assets.
The server does not have the models to leak, it merely assumes that the client requesting has it. (hence why you need to update your client every 5-6 weeks).
BTW this is how private servers work, by connecting the client to a fake server that is hardcoded to give OK to every request.
The biggest and most annoying leak was from Hoyoverses Live Stream. The spoiled the whole story, the boss fight and all cutscenes from the upcoming patch. I want to see the chibis talk but i will never watch the live stream again. Story spoilers are much worse than skill leaks.
Its crazy.
Yup still excited
You asked some interesting questions.
Do I care for things coming down the road? Care is a strong road. I'm interested to see where it goes, but care? That's too much commitment and Hoyo made it clear they aren't about that.
Will Nahida being strong change the tune that Hoyo set in that article? I'm of the belief that if Nahida is strong and overpowered, it'd result in more disinterest. Why? Well…outside of Spiral Abyss, where would we use Nahida? Or any new broken character? What's the purpose, the goal? There isn't one.
I 100% agree that in comparison to 2.0-2, 3.0-2 is far better, Sumeru beats Inazuma by a landslide. What sadly killed Sumeru's wave was that article. Combat is the groundwork, the foundation of the gacha system and characters in general. You can't even explore without implementing combat. So, telling us that combat isn't the focus when we invest time and energy into exactly that with resin, primos, artifacts, mora, etc… How else are we to respond? What's the point of constellations now? What about 5 star signature weapons? You might say, for a character's "full potential". Full potential for what? So you just press a couple buttons and overworld enemies die at the same rate they already did? So you nab a couple extra seconds that you don't need from Spiral Abyss? Their full potential doesn't have a place to be respected, so why should my time and money go into something that won't be respected?
I just gotta press x to doubt, ya know?
Lol ofc no one cares as much anymore. We're just pulling characters for the sake of it at this point. I've seen a bunch of what's been leaked and I'm not sure I care as much as I used to when I saw leaked content. 3.2 does look cool I admit but that Game Spot interview hasn't done Hoyoverse many favors imo. Nahida could be strong (I think she will be the best 5* released since Raiden), but as things stand in relation to more combat focused content what does it matter how strong she is? I've invested a lot of time into this game just like many others have and I enjoy all aspects of the game. However after that article it doesn't feel like there is much incentive to pull for new units unless they do something very different or I like them enough to pull for them regardless of what they do or don't do.
🌸😹It would be a bout of mishap not unfamiliar, and thus we would gather once more for the latest episode of “Leakers: The War Against HoYoVerse”.😹🌸
Leaks suck and everyone that says they don't are on copium. Everytime we get actual surprises the community loses their minds. The most recent example being the winter lazzo video where we saw each harbinger
I don't give a single f*ck about the future patches anymore. There is no reason to play genshin anymore
I don't know, I just think they are being so cheap with a lot of Genshin aspects it is starting to feel bad to keep playing, I love the game but I hate the way they are managing it, "fvcking bureaucrats" sigh~
They dont want players to be anxious about end game so I stop being anxious and put them where they belong right on the very bottom of my list of side games JK
Honestly I really like leaks. Knowing there are characters coming out in the future that I'm actually going to want makes it a lot easier to see doing dailies as saving up for that character rather than a tedious chore.
oopsy
Not excited for new characters. There is no point. I had to drop my main account and go F2P, 4 star only.
I've stopped caring about the gacha a long time ago. When a new patch hits, I play the story then quit until the next patch. That's how Hoyo intended the game to be played after all.
5:00 Actually, no, you can have roadmap and still change it whenever you want. You just have to clearly state that it's a subject to change and… that's it. This is our current plan, but it's a subject to change, so take it with a grain of salt. So, would they want to release a roadmap they'd just do so.
The problems arise when you say something like "We going to release new patch next week." and then postpone it by month, but they are very careful with that and the only time things went wrong wasn't their fault.
Leaking server side of the game is a disaster. Not because people will know bits and pieces about upcoming content, but because this may and likely will improve private servers and the last thing they want is to let private servers thrive. Well, unless they want to undermine their own business and do exactly that for some asinine reason. However, leaks like this won't reveal much information actually interesting for the players since server doesn't need to know much in the first place. And we haven't got 4.0 game resources, so there won't be screenshots of Fontaine anytime soon. We may know better how server side calculates character skills and may get an idea how skills of upcoming characters may work, though. And which characters are in the work in the first place.
7:40 New locations, music and story. That's pretty much 3 main things that keep me excited (somewhat). And I know they'll deliver on these. However, I don't really care much about the characters and just pull them mostly to get some new ways to do the same things in a slightly new ways and mostly in the exploration in non-optimal teams. For the abyss I have two mostly fixed teams with minimal flexibility which I haven't change for over a year already. Why bother when they do the job just fine no matter the enemies and abyss buffs? I may swap in and out Yelan, Albedo, Kazuha or Venti to deal with specific groups of enemies better, but overall that doesn't change much.
Not interested in the leaks at all. Doesn't matter. I can do all events, experience the whole story and exploration, and 36 the abyss as is.
I haven't even progressed the new archon quest.
When these kind of stuff got leaked prior to a Close Beta Test, it really seems to be a leak from Hoyoverse themselves. Also why the heck they don't have at the very least an encryption on their asset files?
After that interview, I was truly like what's the point in playing? The story is interesting but not interesting enough for me to constantly play the game. Yes, I still look at leaks but the more that comes out, the more I'm like "I'm not interested" or "this is so boring". Like rn I'm pulling for once character, buliding them then not playing the game until I see something cool which won't come in a while
yes, agreed. on purpose. so true. when we know what characters will appear in the next patch, two, three, or four patches, what happens? we will wait for our favorite character and will continue to be online until then. maybe that's my opinion. I don't know anything else.
FYI the leaks are bit more serious as that. Raw data has estimated patch dates event mechanics even stuff pertaining to the next region the og post has been deleted from the sub Reddit due to a dmca request but the info already on the internet best of luck
Omg thats disgusting.
Where?
Leaks are good for the community.
If they been doing this poorly on stoping leaker all this times. It almost as if leaker are the game developer them self or they sell out information to leaker for money them self.
Honestly don't see why everyone was bummed out by the article. All they did was confirm the marketing style they obviously were already focused on. Yea, I love the combat, but intense min maxing is a bit too hard to balance long term from. No character released will be as broken as the launch characters, and after this long, you can tell the new normal is balanced characters over the broken launch cast. Maybe it's my player history of coming from games that would rebalance characters overtime across patches or whatnot. I naturally look forward to new mechanics and niches that new releases bring. Especially in a game designed to not power creep every previous character in the game (cough mobility/mechanic creep League cough). So I'm here to stay. They'll add in endgame content when we get through more of the story. In the mean time, I'll take my time building new characters and enjoying who I have.
Yeah for the first time ever, I just dont give a damn about the characters anymore. Funnily enough, you can actually ask google for a refund if you spent recently two of my friends did that when the interview went out. Yeah they got banned but they got their $625 and $485 back
dont care.
READ MY THESIS!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Me personally I can honestly say I am super SUPER excited for 3.2 but not in the way people think. It's only because we're getting a rerun of Yoimiya and I missed her last time and I got screwed on the 50/50 and instead of giving me the pyro unit I wanted they gave me a third constellation for Diluc which infuriated me and had me VEXED because I have no use for hIm I don't like him anymore I liked him in the beginning because he was my first five star character that I wished for and the only reason I keep him around and keep building him is for my son because that's my son's favorite because my son was there when we played his story quest and when I pulled him so my son's in love with them but regardless, I wanted Yoimiya SO bad and I've wanted her so bad ever since her first appearance on banner which is exactly when I first started playing the game. When I first started playing ayaka was the banner character and I knew nothing about pity system or how the wish system worked at at all and when she was done came and I still didn't know anything same thing with ride and Shogun and it wasn't until I actually did my research that I found out but it was too late it was 2 days until Kokomi came so i was screwed but I said never again….. and then I was denied her AGAIN LOL so this is a must have I am grinding my ass off just to get this chick and even if I lose the 50/50 I don't care I will whale out just for this one because I need her! She is so fun for me to play oh my God I want to cry right now that I have to even wait a week and a half just to get her LOL 😂😂😂
from what uve seen the leaks are about which characters and when they release , as well as region expansions . and the leakers themselves fight amongst each other of
1- who leak things first . 2 – who "dont condone it" and playing off as "in not getting involved" right after they leaked and then deleted (ubecha)
They are purposely leaking stuff so they can sue or claim videos on youtube and earn money. BIG BRAIN TIME.
Honestly, as a f2p player, leaks are useful to plan who you want to save for. I've never been one to care about my damage. As long as my team is at least semi-functionable and I like thr characters on my team, I'll play that team. Sometimes my teams may not make much sense, but idrc lol
