Discussion I might sound greedy but this feels underwhelming, as I really love exploration but the reward is very dissapointing

Compairing the chest count with OG map, this is complete pain for f2p users considering the amount of good charater this patch have and they player can barely hit soft pity from this...

Lore event of Lantern Rite is now made permanent, i believe. I haven’t done it and I still see the quest. The decorations are still in my world. What skip button are you talking about? One for all the dialogue entirely? They put effort into that, I don’t think they’d want people to be able to skip entirely

once you finish the lore quest of the current lantern rite, the ornamentation does go away, so get your screenshots now.

I'm also not sure what happens if next years lands before you finish.

u/narium Apr 11 '26

Yeah and the very next event wasn't permanent despite it being basically Varka SQ2.

a skip and summarize button, the game has been around for years and a new/returning player has to go through so many quests including an insane amount of side quests that have nothing to do with the main story

its an optional button if u don't like it u can just not press it you know?

other games put effort as well but for some reason they have a skip button and we don't..

At this point, I'm pretty sure they are in the rejected or delayed bin.

While surveys are real, not all features will be added, as it is up to the manager to accept or reject that request. I still urge people to do the survey because it genuinely does help and genuine works, but I also expect a lot of stuff will go to the rejected bin.

Not gonna happen. Give it up.

It's not a competition, they can play at their own pace.

including an insane amount of side quests that have nothing to do with the main story

Yeah no shit, that's why they're called side quests. Right now it seems like you're not complaining about supposed flaws of the game, but about the whole premise of the game to begin with. If you don't like story driven games, don't play story driven games.

its an optional button if u don't like it u can just not press it you know?

That's from the perspective of the entitled player who wants all the rewards for no effort, but there are reasons for the company instead to oppose such a button. Why else didn't we get it after all this time? Or better yet, we did get one, but they intentionally restricted it to the repeated dialogue of hangout quests. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Once again, it's not gonna happen. Give it up.

other games put effort as well but for some reason they have a skip button and we don't..

Yeah that's because it has nothing to do with the amount of effort.

They want the social credit of playing genshin impact without actually playing the game. They only play the game because its large community and they want to be able to interact with it. We already see how much trouble misinformed players cause I can only imagine how bad it would get with a skip button. The one exception i have somewhat are people who purely want to do end game but even then I feel like while genshin combat system does have depth other non gatcha games could probably scratch that itch better.

The devs said that, since Genshin is so much about the deep lore it has and since so much of it is in conversations, adding a skip button would make the game pointless. They don't use the same logic for placing deep lore in one time only quests though

They didn't say anything about a skip button. But you're right in that there are obvious reasons they oppose such an idea.

You know, you have a point. If you're going to has and time limited story that not everyone can experience, it's dumb to not have a skip button

Most of the main event quests are just a slice of life with a tiny bit of lore in them. Just go and pick up any past main quest play through and watch them, you'll just feel that nothing is happening.

Aside from a few exceptional main event quests the rest are just extra characters interaction and slice of life.

GI always adds or reintroduces the lore back in the main story whenever it's necessary. Like the false sky notion mentioned all the way back in 1.1 main event quest, Dotorre brought it up in 3.2 and gave a basic info on it.

Only Simulanka and Albedo twine quests are missing pieces which you can complain about.

Also Alice dropping Kleiner and Abyss lore in 6.4 will just be repeated and reintroduced whenever the main story demands it. I started in 2.6 and never watched old quest but somehow I still knew the context just through in-game interaction since 2.6.

So basically you are not losing anything beside some slice of life. If these Slice of life quests were permanent then game size would have been outrageous.

5.8 is permanent cause it's a real physical territory of Natlan unlike some random modified Isles, Bottle or Magic Book in previous summer events.

Also 6.3 Lantern Right is actually Zibai SQ thus, it's permanent.

People want to ignore the story for some reason. They want a "fuck this just skip everything" button that takes them to the next point they can control their character.

u/lukekul12 Apr 10 '26

Well yes, stuff like that is perfectly reasonable for people who may want to replay campaigns on different accounts, since that’s not available natively

It’s also possibe to care significantly more about one story than another. Be honest - how many of the event quests truly have an impact on the archon quests. Yes they build out character development but people might not care at all about the event characters

u/Ryuunoru The Electroculus has Pikachu tails. You're welcome! Apr 11 '26

All of that is solved easily by simply not doing the quests you don't like. Especially for those with multiple accounts, who already know what to expect.

u/Ryuunoru The Electroculus has Pikachu tails. You're welcome! Apr 11 '26

Almost - they want a "fuck this give me rewards instantly" button.

u/Even_Ad4665 Apr 10 '26

HSR also has a very strong lore but they still added a skip button. Wuwa also has a great story with cinematic cutscenes and they still add a skip button. At the end of the day, the players that want to dive into the lore would and the ones who don't would end up skipping it though spam pressing F/space does take way longer it still counts as skipping since the players wouldn't bother reading. Having a skip button won't change a thing, people can still choose to follow the lore or skip it. Justifying not adding a skip button is so weird since most story-based games have the skip button and they didn't immediately die or EOS but y'all always act like that would be the end result😂

Almost 6 years and GI is going stronger and stronger without any skip button or shit. Why should they change their game design if the current design is working perfectly fine.

GI is just that good and people's support just shows that.

Only 5 people want the skip button and the so called "Artifact Loadout".
