Vortex Gaming

· I've been playing Genshin Impact since 2021 and have developed a deep affection for the game, which even inspired me to create content.
· Lately, unlike the excitement I felt in the early days of the game's release, my expectations have diminished, and there are several aspects that need improvement that bother me.
· This video aims to share personal opinions, not to criticize the game.

· Although the maximum Resin cap has increased, the recharge time of 8 minutes per unit is too long, and unlike other games, there's no overflow system, forcing daily logins. This is a problem.
· This induces 'Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)' and makes daily commissions feel like a chore.
· Even with paid purchases (Welkin Moon), you still have to log in daily to claim rewards, which is inconvenient.

· The banner duration, previously 30 days, has been shortened to 21 days, reducing opportunities to obtain characters.
· The simultaneous release of new characters and reruns encourages players to pull for both a specific character and their synergistic support characters, driving spending.
· This ultimately creates the perception that you need to pull both the new character and essential supports to achieve their full potential.

· In the past, a character's inherent performance was crucial, but now, with the addition of new elemental reactions, existing characters tend to become relatively weaker.
· Specifically, new elemental reactions (e.g., off-field damage) released with new characters (e.g., Sandrone) make it difficult to utilize their full potential without pulling that character.
· This creates a structure where it's hard to enjoy game content without pulling the latest characters.

· Floor 12 of the Spiral Abyss is heavily designed around the latest released characters (e.g., Sandrone, Electro-Charged, Elemental Burst).
· This means having the latest characters has a greater impact on clearing content than character progression or builds.
· Similar issues arise in other combat content like themed domains or Abyss challenges, limiting the content players can enjoy.

· Stories that were once engaging are now filled with over 80% unnecessary dialogue, making them feel tedious.
· The lack of a 'Leave Quest' feature, which would allow players to abandon or resume quests later, forces players into unwanted quests, causing inconvenience.
· This disrupts player time and immersion, acting as a detriment to the game experience.

· Talking to NPCs placed near crafting stations can lead to unintended interactions, disrupting the crafting process.
· While this might seem like a minor issue, it can become frustrating for players if it happens repeatedly.

· In the current game environment, it's extremely difficult for free-to-play players to enjoy end-game content.
· With the continuous release of new characters and weapons, the pressure to spend money to keep up is increasing.
· Despite player complaints, the developers have either ignored them or responded by deleting comments on Discord or banning accounts.
· This raises concerns about the game's long-term sustainability.

· Artifact farming involves excessive RNG (randomness), requiring players to get the right set, piece, main stat, and sub-stats.
· The artifact conversion system is also not very helpful, as materials are hard to obtain and the efficiency is low.
· This causes significant stress for players and detracts from the game's fun.

· The fact that important stories, like the Scaramouche event, disappear after a limited time is a significant loss for character development and world-building.
· These event stories should be permanently preserved so players can access them at any time.

· This video is not a critique of the game but an honest account based on personal experiences and opinions.
· The accumulation of complaints about the game has made content creation feel burdensome, but I believe sharing these opinions is important.
· Thank you for watching, and I'll see you in the next video with more useful information.
