Apparently a lot of people aren't understanding my point. I'm not saying "no more leaks". I'm saying, leaks for the next patch BEFORE THE PREVIOUS ONE IS EVEN DROPPED is not a good thing. 3-4 weeks into 1.5 if we start getting leaks for 1.6, sure, I'm game for that. But getting hyped for 1.6 before 1.5 even drops is going to make 1.5 and future patches in the same vein feel bittersweet because you're looking at the other side of the fence, and guess what, the grass is greener over there. More people are talking about Kazhua than Eula right now. She hasn't even dropped yet and we've already moved on. Same thing will happen when she comes out. By that point we'll be on past Kazhua. It's a cycle that will continue and will never be able to be caught up to.
Being able to plan what heroes you pull for, I can understand the argument, but where does it end? Do you need to know the next two heroes? Three? Four? Like I said, I like the character leaks. I just don't like these big drops, when the upcoming patch ISN'T EVEN OUT YET.
Well it's mihoyo fault, they shouldn't have done 4 different server with different timing of releasing new content, what I mean is in Chinese or Japan server they get content and event upfront while American and Europe server getting the event later and that's the issue. they should release their content equally!!! Period!!
Hello everyone…welcome to another genshin impact news digest…hahaha I already unsubscribe to that guy, coz hes just a try hard of everything, I mean like what u said leaks are exciting but leaking the entire thing is just..ahmm slow down bro..
I think what's hurting get you an impact is the lack of putting in new areas and end game content players are getting very bored the resin system isn't helping much easier.
I agree. If they just leak a hero or 2 that is fine. But they are leaking all the changes, things like new events, new regions, new items, and literally the new tree that is just ridiculous.
The only leaks i have payed attention to in the past have been character leaks. But at this point i've stopped with that because the character i even wanted already dropped.
There will be hype if the patch actually worth the hype regardless of leaks. Leaks help people plan ahead to not ruin their fun later when they have used some stuff they could of saved until the next patch instead, interest goes down the drain. It is hard to spoil the lore on anyone who doesn't seek it. If I write about the lore now you can just stop reading too, simple as that. It is a non issue, game hype will come when it is deserved, let's not blame leaks for the useful insight and maybe focus more into asking for more co op that will actually help the game become more active which gonna get the hype it deserves.
It is like if they put money on a table outside where a lot of people pass by, then go to sleep and expect the money to be there on the morning, thats how i feel they handle their betas, meaning that it is on purpose, some kind of marketing that also incluides the part when they say "LeAkS dAmAgE tHe GaMe" then proceed to invite everyone and their moms to the tests.
When Mihoyo talks about "leaks" they mean content leaks, not character leaks. It's been widely acknowledged that they don't mind character leaks because it allows hype to build, but the content leaks are just too much. It ruins the fun for a lot of people, part of the fun is the suspense and thinking wow if this update was this fun I can't wait to see what the 1.6 Livestream will show us! I was excited for 1.4 but the fact that all of 1.5 was released basically at the time of 1.4's release made the release of 1.5 for me now exceptionally boring. I already know everything and theres no excitement or ability to explore and discover by myself anymore. All the new features in 1.5 are really interesting and I like them a lot, I just don't feel any excitement when this content was stuff that I knew about over a month ago. I'm trying my best to avoid 1.6 leaks because I don't want the suspense to be ruined for me but it's hard when thats almost everything that people are talking about right now. Y'all need to have more respect for Mihoyo as a company because as easily as they can give, they can take away and I wouldn't be surprised if they start giving out consequences to not just those who leak but the whole community for not letting them release new content when they planned.
This is a wishful solution. But leakers should make it so that it is easier for people who are trying to avoid leaks to avoid them. I sometimes see vids where the title and thumbnail basically spoils all the content. The new patch just dropped and apparently there is this new character leaked. I've been trying to avoid leaks to focus on the current patch lol
I made a point in other places – Genshin's community is its own poison. The question is whether they are willing to admit they're doing damage.
Leakers don't share the same sentiment as you. Their job is in the name, to leak things, and to gain reputation and clout. Enjoyment is secondary, unlike for players.
You're basically being treated with an addictive drip. But instead of stopping somewhere, the doctors just keep continuing the treatment till it becomes poison to your body.
Some people are like "Yeah, that hits the spot even more." , and some are like panicking because the doctor's supposed to be saving you, not killing you.
I disagree with you but I see your point me personally I love the leaks and will continue to search for them I still enjoy the patches but for me having something to look forward to is what keeps me playing
Idk man character leak is good for player so they can have something to say if they want to skip the current new character, like me, i have guarantee pity and 10 more pull until it,
but i don't like eula gameplay and i don't like great sword character, feel to boring for me but because i don't know kazuha i want to pull for her because i don't have a choice , so with kazuha leak now i don't have any feeling to feel sad for skipping eula, not only that now i can also be ready for 1.7 Inazuma character,
for event i don't care to much as long as it give me premogems, what i don't like is story' leak, i want to know it myself, so yeah i only look at character leak
Character Leaks are acceptable so we know how much primogems to spend but lore, story and event leaks are just mean coz it takes away the excitement of having official announcements
1.5 is another filler what are you talking about? Players arent satisfied because theres NOTHING to enjoy. What do you propose to enjoy in 1.5?i dont care about hangout events, dont care about the budget Minecraft, the New story quest takes like 20 minutes. Thats it. WHAT am i supposed to enjoy here? At least when i look at the New character i feel like its interesting to think about for upcoming weeks. Its not a lot but its something
Your problem here is the lack of anything interesting to do. People want story. People want to fight, they dont give a crp about gliding events, pokemon catching event, even tower defence events. People want better rewards and more ways to get them, they want to FARM and not to scrap by. That what playing is about. And they fail to give it to players for 6 months straight. Of freaking course people look at leaks, its the only content this game even provides in a game that lets you play for 20 minutes a day. Gi is the only game that has this problem. Warframe announced their content months PRIOR and everyone Just waits. Why? Because even after 8 years General Ly speaking surprisingly enough, you have a game to play and things to do. Not Just login, run domain 4 times and log out
I was only able to get Hu Tao because of leaks. I'm a Welkin spender and nothing more. Saved since the Albedo banner just for her and my patience was rewarded with a C1. For that, I'm grateful.
Yet at the same time, it's kind of killed the excitement for 1.6 somewhat. Just scrolling through YouTube, the thumbnails weaved a tapestry of the entire update. Kazuha, Inazuma, some new boss. I wasn't even looking for them and yet, they were there. It hasn't bothered me THAT much but… I would've preferred to hear from miHoYo themselves.
Hearing about Inazuma halfway through Eula's banner, in the version update livestreams they always do, when 1.5 has already run its course and the new update is just a week away… That would've been more exciting.
Now, I basically know it's there and while I am enjoying 1.5, I can't deny that a part of me sees this new update as some 40-day obstacle to Inazuma. I don't feel that way completely but it's there, like a shadow on a sunny day.
Well, these are just my thoughts on the matter. I'm not about to whine about things out of my control. I'm going back to building the ultimate teapot to put the Jade Chamber to shame!
P.S. JazzE, your "ramblings" are more well put together than any essay I can ever hope to write.
Give 1.5 a second chance? Nah. The two new characters are boring af. I already have Zhongli but as soon as we're done celebrating him, this patch is over. Wait for 1.6 or just entertain myself with leaks. If the two new characters were interesting then yeah, it's ok to give it a 2nd chance.
The problem with leaks in new Characters is this,most people will do a what we called "advance grind" just cuz they saw in leaks what items they need to level up that certain Character.. remember the incident of xiao where most people grind him the anemo hypostasis mats just because honey impact place it in their site,then when 1.3 drops,the primo vishap was suddenly introduced and its mats became the official mats for xiao.. surely leaks are good to plan ahead but this leaks just keep coming in before we even get to enjoy the current event..I wont argue if people get hype by leak Characters cuz itll be hypocrite of me since im one of those waiting for future Character specifically ayaka..but for me, future content should only be talk about or atleast hype about when there is atleast only a 2 or week away from the next patch so most people can just enjoy the game as it is now rather than being "bored in current patch" just because they see a potentially more fun Characters and event from leaks
I feel like leaks really ruin all the fun…. as i am on twitter a lot ive seen so much of the 1.6 ones, even though i muted all the leak accounts… now i’m kinda sad because it really does ruin the hype:(
I think leaks about new characters, weapons, areas and artifacts are somewhat acceptable because it hypes the playerbase and they have something to look forward to. Story and plot leaks are just a hard no. In the end, we just need to manage our expectations regarding these leaks.
It seems you got exactly what I felt, without understanding it. When 1.5 dropped, I was kind of disappointed, without even understanding it. And it appears that, as you said, due to leaks, I already was familiar with the 1.5 content, so I couldn’t really enjoy it ingame. And I think I will experiment staying away from leaks from now on…
I used to like leaks but I hate them so much now, they're inevitable especially on twitter, and if you don't want to get spoiled you'll see them anyway. Nothing is a surprise anymore, it's getting annoying and out of hand.
Edit: I also see many players complaining about how little content there is in game… While, yes, before 1.5 it had little content, but if you immediately grind for charaters who are one or two updates in the future you'll never have stuff to do.
And, MiHoYo works hard to make the game, but leakers will just grab all they have in the beta and put it out acting as if they did god's work. Before you tell me that MiHoYo wants money (no shit, do you seriously think people would make a whole game for free?) while leakers care about us, let me inform you that leakers do not care about us either, they care about likes and interactions.
The good part: Its gotten to the point where we don't even know if the leakers are right. 1.6 can literally be anything at this point. I think them leaking Inazuma stuff themselves helped a lot.
Fuck off whale, all leaks is good for us average spending player no matter how early they drop… if they dont want us to look for leaks, than fine, give the roadmap like any other games,, fuck off with this game of trying to suck you dry by dropping banner out of nowhere and making primo planning imposible… Fucking rich youtuber always tries to justifies shitty mihoyo practice
Mihoyo should take action and also those who share it.. I don't have a problem with leakers being banned, fined or even formally charged for violating an NDL

They leaked a badass boss for 1.6 now I’m not hype for it 🙁
Well it's mihoyo fault, they shouldn't have done 4 different server with different timing of releasing new content, what I mean is in Chinese or Japan server they get content and event upfront while American and Europe server getting the event later and that's the issue. they should release their content equally!!!

To be fair 1.6 looks like shit too. I'm still waiting for dendro characters to come out.

so……does anyone know what is in 1.7?
Yea thing bout it like that. How would you feel if every movie you go to watch you already knew what was going happen ?
I’m fully on your side bro. The game been boring for me because of this same thing.
I only look a character leaks sometimes but even then i just think there fake
The only thing hurting Genshin is Mihoyo and these boring ass quests and pointless missions
It is like if they put money on a table outside where a lot of people pass by, then go to sleep and expect the money to be there on the morning, thats how i feel they handle their betas, meaning that it is on purpose, some kind of marketing that also incluides the part when they say "LeAkS dAmAgE tHe GaMe" then proceed to invite everyone and their moms to the tests.

I don't have much to say. I'm the type of person that would skip to the end of a novel just to see how it ends when I'm only midway through, sooo…

I know right?! Why are people actually leaking this kind of stuff?
nah what damaging the game is every time there is a patch the only content is a new wishable character and filler BS.
Mihoyo should give sneak peaks on new characters
And hire beta tester and make them sign a NDA
Kids on twitter be like "omg this new boss looks so cool check this leak", and when the patch drops, dead silence. Thats how u know its fked up
Give 1.5 a second chance? Nah. The two new characters are boring af. I already have Zhongli but as soon as we're done celebrating him, this patch is over. Wait for 1.6 or just entertain myself with leaks. If the two new characters were interesting then yeah, it's ok to give it a 2nd chance.

Are you nuts? Geo daddy is the most wanted guy ever, and my thiccness Eula is all I'm waiting for.
Lol you crazy.
It seems you got exactly what I felt, without understanding it.

And I think I will experiment staying away from leaks from now on…
I find it's pretty hard to find info about leaks unless you actively go searching for it
Honestly I don't look at lore/event leaks
I feel like character leaks are needed though
Can you please make a DPS Fischl guide and team comp vid?
Me literally questioning who kazuha or eula are. I just want zhongliiiuu omg
Buen video! hey, si me lo permiten si alguno lleva más de dos semanas sin jugar deben meter este código:
GB0WA46TUN
y les puede salir de nuevo el evento de Retorno Estelar con sus muy buenas recompensas!
Pero ojo, deben hacerlo antes de volver a meterse al juego, si se meten primero ya no les sirve
The most retarded video ever
The make tons of money
