I'm admittedly pretty salty about the anniversary stuff, but at least the drama is great entertainment. 🍵
Like, okay... I never expected a free 5* or a bunch of free pulls, and I've seen the writing on the wall about the anniversary being shit for a while now, but before that became apparent I legitimately expected some kind of hype-generating content. Where are the skin and glider cosmetics? Or some kind of special anni banner? Resin cost reduction campaigns??? Hello????? Straight-up, if you aren't on social media you wouldn't even know it was supposed to be an anniversary anything going by what's in-game. :/
I was even still holding out hope for some surprise Paimon mail giving us like a couple hundred primos each day for a few days, like they've done in the past. But not even that, lmao...... Just what a shit show.
I really, really wish we could see how MHY are feeling about the reactions. Certainly they must have seen a backlash coming over a gacha planning basically nothing for its anniversary. Do they just not care? Figure they're successful enough that people will tantrum for a few days then forget? Which, I mean, is probably what will happen, but damn if it doesn't leave me feeling bitter. All of this cumulating with the recent mediocre story and characters, and my personal disappointment with no expected new male 5*s for who knows how long... Blegh. Happy one year of playing Genshin, indeed! 🎉
