Events will no longer cost resin YAY
and a lot more
So I stopped playing shortly before 1.1 came out and I finally decided to check out the game again. I saw I could do 10 rolls on the banner and immediately got Zhongli and Xinyan. Did they change something or did I just blow through all my accumulated luck?
I'm going to approach this from a different angle: Cost (as opposed to value).
A dollar menu burger at mcdonalds is a dollar. The fact that a dollar means less to a billionaire is irrelevant. If you spend $20 on a burger from mcdonalds, you know you overpaid.
Video games are the same way. You should get roughly 40 hours of unique and novel content out of $60 price. I define "whale" as someone who spends in excess of this normal equation. Which means I classify basically anyone spending more than just the $12 BP and the $5 "90 primos a day" thing as a whale essentially. $200 might not get you much, but $200 is $200. Whale has nothing to do with how much pay2win power you get from tossing money at the game and entirely everything to do with just how much money you toss at it.
You just got lucky or were really close to the pity from before. The timer never resets and carries over from the previous banner that occupied the new banner's slot.
Damn, that banner is good for people who don't have these 4* yet.
Sadly, I have Fischl C6 and Sucrose C5... so I won't be rolling on it.
omg best change ever. Sunday domain rewards aren't random anymore :0
I kinda wonder how all these Geo characters compare to Geo-MC tbh.
If I look at the numbers here, Geo-MC outperforms Albedo by quite a bit.
Same thing with Zong.
Geo-MC Q hits 5 times I believe? You get the +3 skill easily, so you can rank it up to skillvl 13.
Which is 1500%+ damage - adds +10% crit to the party and interrupt resistance
Geo MC E hits for 527 at lvl 13, again - relatively easy to reach due to C6.
Geo MC E hits twice sometimes (depending on who's close when it expires/explodes) - so 1000%+ dmg sometimes.
Geo MC E is on a 6s CD cooldown, a Geo construct and you can have 3 at the same time
He is very good at blocking nasty range attacks too.
I don't know how fast Geo MCs auto attack is compared to Albedo's, but his % values are 30% higher there too, on top of a much stronger 5-hit combo finisher that deals AoE damage.
Don't get me wrong, it's amazing that the F2P character is that strong. That's how it should be!
I just don't know if I'd ever pick a sub/dps-Geo over him. DEF% Scaling isn't that good.
And Albedo needs C2 to catch up to Geo-MC in terms of damage imho.

If you really want to look at it objectively. Genshin is more valuable as it has contributed more to society. Genshin Impact has inspired thousands of artists to create hundreds of thousands of amazing works of art and then freely post it on the internet for others to experience. And some of it isn't even porn. Sure there is also art of RDR2 but its not even close to the volume of GI.
I think the only reason some may roll on it is for the 5*. Sucrose is too soon. She was with Klee and a ton of people wanted Klee so they probably have a lot of Sucrose. I think Fischl was already on the very first banner and I don't really think Bennett is considered good.
I hope the next banner is something decent.
My lv 50 Bennett has been carrying my Klee in the electro domain farming. Klee is useless af in there.

Next, they need to change all respawns to be based on server reset time, and not when you last looted it. Idk who thought that was a good idea.
Not really. I just don't see this banner as good. Im sure some will, but not nearly as many as if there was at least 1 new 4* as well and not sucrose again.
Also, remember that the new BP starts this week. Don't kill the newest boss right away, they are adding a bp quest in to kill him like the other two. So wait until after the 23rd to maximize your points this week.
It is whale territory. As I said here:
Just because he's not in the top 0.1% doesn't mean he's not a whale. 200 a month is pretty hardcore whale
And yes, I know there are people who spend thousands a month, but if your definition only counts those, well.. It's wrong.
He's spending over 3x the cost of a AAA game A MONTH. On a free to play game. That's a whale.
That's really dumb..
You do know that Bennett is considered to be one of the best if not the best character in the game. This is not even taking into consideration that he is only a 4* character. The other characters are also extremely powerful, being to hold their own against 5* characters with ease. People will be rolling like madmen on this banner just because the 4* characters are so good.
This is by far the best banner we've ever seen since launch when only taking into account what 4* characters are being offered.
It's the best banner, but it's arguably not a banner everyone will roll on.
Fischl was up with Venti.
Venti + Fischl was considered top SS tier deluxe edition by every reroll guide there was. So people went all in there already.
Sucrose came out alongside Klee. Klee was considered to be high DPS by every "should you roll on this banner"-guide and discussion... And she is by far the cutest character •^.^• . So people went all in there already. On top of that, Xinqiu was in there too and he is a top tier 4* too and I'd argue a lot of people tried to C6 Noelle there too. Since everyone has her.
Bennett is already super fine at C1 and he could be bought in the shop.
Since 4* characters start to repeat now, I'd say that people will start rolling less on banners, especially if they don't want the 5*.

Of course not everyone will roll on it. Some people have probably gotten all they can from these characters or simply don't like them.
Even if characters have been on previous banners does not make people less inclined to roll for them. As you might already know the vast, vast majority of players playing this game are either doing it as a f2p player or they're spending a very low amount. The amount of primogems you get by playing like this does not enable you to get these characters in any large amount.
Another thing to also think about is that not everyone started playing when Venti was on the active banner. Who knows how many people started playing during the Klee, Childe or even Zhongli banner.
Bennett is fine at C1 but he's even better at C5 (C6 is bad though). Same with all the other 4* characters that you can get. Fischl especially gains a massive amount of power from constellations.
It's weird that C6 Bennett is actually a downgrade for most teams.
Kinda scary when you get him randomly over months/years and upgrade him on accident because of the annoying "!" next to his constellation.
Could infact even destroy his use entirely depending on who your main DPS is.
