I'm honestly kind of glad this thread is the only exposure I have to the larger Genshin community, lol. I'm not upset about the low-yield anniversary stuff but I imagine if I was being slammed with negativity from all sides about it it would be pretty infectious.

Honestly the only thing I'm grumpy about is the fact I'm travelling to a wedding this weekend and will miss my daily login on Saturday because my PS4 ain't coming with me into the mountains.
You could do the account connection thing and play it on your phone for the daily login. It's also pretty doable for dailies and to burn resin!

I made an account on iOS to play the mobile version for 5 minutes when it first launched. Not sure I can do the account transfer because of that...or if that's just for steam people.

Those poor, cursed souls. I'm not proud, but they always show up during the daily friendship/random events grind…

I believe you can do it as long as you use a different e-mail than the one you used when you made the iOS account. Don't take my word on it though, the PSN+MHY cross-save seems to be a bit of a clusterfuck to setup.

Just download on iOS and log on with your MiHoYo account. If you have another account logged in already, just log off and log in with your PC account. That's all you need to do. Cross save is simple between PC and mobiles, just not the primogem purchasing.

EDIT: missed you started on PS4. You just have to link your PSN Genshin account in game to a MiHoYo account and then log in using that information on your iOS device.

Even if the low rating app removal was real, it certainly wouldn't happen with a game that generates so much revenue. Google would look into it with the company first.

Is there any sort of progressive luck involved in doing the same domain several times? It is the second time that I tried to keep farming on the same domain, and after the third or so attempt the quality of the drops dropped a lot.

I didn't test it enough to say anything, so it could and probably is just a coincidence, but it is funny to see it happen with two different domains (artifacts and materials) and in two different days.

Honestly having an anniversary where they don't give you a ton of free stuff is kind of unheard of in the modern gacha world. Even for a first anniversary.

Their player retention must be very high.

By the way, didn't the Honkai bunny outfit controversy happen during the game's third anniversary? I hope with Genshin we don't hear anything remotely close to what happened that time (assassination attempt, for those unaware).

www.resetera.com

One gamer tried to assassinate founders of miHoYo (Genshin Impact developer), was arrested News

It’s not a joke and not a rumor. This really happened about two days ago. The suspect planned to stab two miHoYo founders and commit suicide afterwards. He got into miHoYo’s company compound holding a knife but was arrested. Luckily no one was hurt during this accident. And his reason...

I'm in the same boat, I've learned a long time ago that most social media sites when it comes to discussing certain video games are either terrible or completely lackluster. I may mostly lurk on this thread but it is pretty much the only place where I can tolerate any discussion on the game. It helps that a lot of the folks here are pretty cool so.

This is just sad, not even a guaranteed paid banner, this makes FGO looks like a samaritan by comparison.

Mihoyo trully messed up this time.

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! 🎉

Issue is there are events planned, from the community streams to the upcoming concerts. I personally enjoy these content and am very excited for the concert but most Gacha Gamers are only in it for the free handouts during anniversaries.

It does put into perspective of the gambling nature of gachas. Are people playing for the game itself or the casino? It sure does seem like the latter.

Truly it's the player's fault for getting hooked on the gambling high
Not the company who purposefully designed it that way
Next level victim blaming

Game company trying to "Tiananmen square" the negativity, and the rabble growing more and more frenzy.

This is the drama I can enjoy :)
Tiananmen Square lol! You can't be serious hahaha.

Ngl though, I honestly find this whole thing fascinating. It's not like I have any ill will when I say this, but I'm really curious to see how far it will go. I didn't expect people to actually start review bombing, and I definitely didn't expect Mihoyo to start censoring posts. I'm seriously intrigued to know what's going to happen next.

man, all this drama almost makes up for the lack of rewards

I'm a sucker for dumb internet drama that doesn't deal with serious topics

This is probably the worst gacha anniversary ever and no that's not hyperbole. I get that this game is different and has way more content because of the open world and we can't auto battle things to grind but..... at the end of it all is just a really sad company that doesn't give a crap about their players. They didn't even do one thing to make this anniversary enticing in game.... nope let's just have a web event of your Genshin career. It was cool but it isn't enough. Mihoyo provides so much FOMO it is crazy and they just never give back and expect people will keep paying for this game. I have never been so happy to be f2p in a gacha ever in my life.

dont even get me started on the trash 10 pull we are getting. LOL

It's especially confusing because generous events generate more money than not having them. Like, you give people a free character, and the resource drain to build that character up incentivizes resin refreshing and pulling for constellations and weapons. You make artifact domains free for a week, engagement goes through the roof as every streamer tries to 24/7 the best artifacts and realistically the player population improves their dps maybe a whopping 5% overall. You make an temporary anniversary banner with more generous rates or all the best characters on it, people spend more on that banner.

This negative feedback and outcry going on is great, and I super agree with the fact that the rewards are shit.

I wonder how things are going on the CN side. From what I know of these situations, CN is what matters while EN/Global usually goes ignored.

Since I'm still F2P I couldn't care less about the anniversary rewards, but I take the spenders got offended by them? For me the only thought I had was "I'm glad I didn't spend a dime on the game". But sincerely it was expected. Mihoyo plenty of times showed they are stingy, but I wasn't expecting drama over it.

Artifact domains wouldn't even have to be free. Imagine their cost going down from 20 primos a run to 5 primos a run. (Or rather, just giving the condensed resin 40 value for 10 primos). Whew, that would be enough to get a lot of streams and gambas going.
