Some people are gonna say "oh but that's what they did for honkai impact 3rd's 1st anniversary" yeah sure but genshin impact is like 3 times more popular and gives line 10 times more profit so it makes no sense
But also they still might give us some stuff without telling us
Nah, even if it is just for the community, it's complete bs. Those artists and cosplayers deserve WAAAY more for their efforts. Both of those are NOT easy, let me tell you. It takes a lot fo time, dedication and creativity to be good at either. Completely not worth the trouble for these rewards.
The only way MiHoYo would be redeemable to me, is at least giving higher rewards to the ones who work to win.
Who knows? Maybe this was a test to see how much they could get away with, but, it doesn't excuse the way they dumped on the community. It makes it worst, if that were the case.
I was willing to pay for Yae when she comes out, but after this? I'll just try my F2P luck now.
I really do hope they get some sense knocked into them and either they change the rewards, and/or offer something better (like a 5 star of out choosimg), and/or most of the big spenders leave them in the dust.
I at least expected anniversary skins to celebrate the characters and what they meant to the community. A skin that would be a homage to the Zhongli buffs, a skin that references Ganyu as Qiqi's cocogoat, or a skin that's named "Who Tao" as a call back to that twitter incident.
These are all milestones that the community will always remember regarding these characters. And new players will be curious about if they come across these references in-game.
I dont care about free wishes or primos when it comes to anniversary events. I need something to keep in my account to mark the occasion.
Honkai's FIRST anniversary was very similar to this and the examples you shown was really off as the elf was not free, the weapons were not free as it required specifics to obtain ie gacha – of those examples only 2 was true – the Seele's costume and augment core. However the core required the base character to unlock which is not free anymore. Really annoyed by the fact Genshin's first is being compared to Honkai's third/fourth/fifth anniversary when their first and second were rather if not at all lackluster.
While I understand players are frustrated and I do agreed rewards are lacking, I rather not see people misinform others.
What if they feel like Genshin is getting all the attention that they think Honkai should be getting, and that the use genshin has is getting money for Honkai
You order food and when it gets to the house with things missing makes people mad. When you get to work and realize your phone is at home makes people mad. Accidentally deleting a game file makes people mad…nah buddy people aren’t mad over this event they are fucking livid…out of all the gatchas Mihoyo has hands down the shittest rewards. Fuck this is some EA shit
They are just SOOO SCARED of losing any money the greediness is insane, could really not give out anything and have a special banner and that alone imo would fix all the hate
The online community users (weibo, reddit, twitter) are a minuscule slice of the playerbase. If people are still buying Welkin and BP and crystal top ups, MHY doesn't give a damn if me, you and the entire weibo userbase are complaining about underwhelming units and bad rewards.
We already gave MHY our money, why would they care if we are complaining? Is probably the case here.
Awful rewards are a bad sign for the longevity of the game, because even whales at some point will jump ship to something more interesting than the game with the same gameplay loop that keeps on disappointing, and by that point small spenders and even dolphins will already have moved on. MHY will not care in the slighest if they are memed on twitter because their first anniversary rewards are trash, they will care if sales are dropping.
You don't like the direction the game is going? Stop supporting it, is the conclusion I can think of.
I played a gacha game that had a set up for a collab where we had to log in to a special website to he specific codes that we're randomized with different rewards. You could only redeem a certain amount of each type of reward so at the end when some people didn't get certain items they traded with each other to get the remaining “missing” ones.
I was one of those people that didn't care about the haters and all the complain about everything in the game.. cause I play casually not even 1h per day..but HOLY SMOKE…those reward are a joke…
At least they have us *something*.
Games like brawl stars just give you a fken skin
Mihoyo still don't realize that they're killing genshin impact slowly, I'm veteran genshin player, and this is breaks my heart
Anything that goes beyond a twit or share is plain BS. I guess the pitchfork is engaged by now. MHY burned the bridge badly now.

Then there’s HI3 giving captains a free s-rank, a ten pull worth of supply cards, and 2800 xtals.
They are idiot Box office of greediness. In chania you need to work something even it's free that why they apply on game also
I heard you have to log in on the Switch version to claim the anniversary rewards 😉
Well, my sister told me that Mihoyo its a Chinese company, and their country have reduced play time by a lot inside china, could this be the reason?
When week 1 rewards were better then year 1 celebration

Question! Do you play Honkai Impact???? Cause if you play Honkai. Then you'll know how stingy is Mihoyo to Honkai anniversary rewards.
If they think they're gonna make me play Honkai Suicidepact 3, they're goddamn wrong, I'm not into over-used mecha-crap
suddenly feels so good being f2p
thats not a burger, fries, and a drink in Canada…
100 primogems isn't even enough for ONE wish my standards were lowers than my grades but holy shit I'm still dissapointed
1 walkin moon is like 2 random 4 star characters. 100k Mora you can't even level up a talent. I have decided not to spend a penny more on this game
Plot twist: Your guaranteed to get all of these things and they’re just lying to fool the majority of the fanbase
Another plot twist: You we’re dreaming

Imagine expecting 3 fowl and 10000 mora.
And being dissapointed even then.
And what's worse is some whiteknight on simptards calling me ungrateful.

I’m retiring from my position as dolphin and going back to f2p. Mihoyo can suck it

Actually you didnt get the elf, it was just a new elf, and the character augment wasnt for the anni either and you had to grind for it.

3.3K likes vs 30 dislikes…I think we all agree
Salt everywhere. 🤣
We should’ve known they don’t give a fuck about players from the AR 60 rewards
They are just SOOO SCARED of losing any money the greediness is insane, could really not give out anything and have a special banner and that alone imo would fix all the hate

I think I can explain the trading thing at least.
I played a gacha game that had a set up for a collab where we had to log in to a special website to he specific codes that we're randomized with different rewards. You could only redeem a certain amount of each type of reward so at the end when some people didn't get certain items they traded with each other to get the remaining “missing” ones.
Worse than the sims 4 hot tub
I was one of those people that didn't care about the haters and all the complain about everything in the game.. cause I play casually not even 1h per day..but HOLY SMOKE…those reward are a joke…
I feel like this 1 year anniversary is a make or break for me to continue buying welkin, BP, and on occasion crystal.
I here by vow to never spend another dime on this game. They don't deserve our money.
From "Game of the year" to "Best slapped on the face of the Year"
(｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
I have played bunch of gacha games, and usually the rewards are atleast 100 wishes or lower like 50 or sum but 100 primo isnt even a wish dude-
No one is gonna hate you for this video.
