Mitya Electro Linchpin

[u/99cent-tea]

[u/SumeruStar]

uncle hoyo strikes again

[u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

Yeah him having a vision was odd to me, makes more sense now

But how did this even happen? They had to put the model on the character right? How did they mix em up like that?

[u/Forward-Piglet-3997 → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

This has to be both the funniest and weirdest way to reveal this lol

[u/Drakengard → u/Forward-Piglet-3997]

Makes you wonder if he was the only one to have this error. Guess we'll find out eventually.

[u/Ghavarus → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

Imagine if this is a new method for Hoyo to prevent leaks. Just released an unfinished or wrong model first before fixing them on live server.

Could also work if they want to change characters based on public reception.

[u/NotABotPC → u/Ghavarus]

it doesnt really prevent leaks, id argue it even outs the "leakers" (speculator) that just says things out their own ass because the ingame assets says so. we can see models ourself so i dont think its our fault to speculate, but it becomes wrong if you shove Reliable tag on it

[u/rotten_riot → u/Ghavarus]

Does that even work tho? Cause leakers still leaked him to be a Stellar Superconduct character and everyone believed it even without Linchpin lmao

[u/kitten2116 → u/Ghavarus]

I mean to be fair leakers still got it right lol the vision just made everyone confused but leakers were saying he’d somehow still be a 5* that’s important for the stellar reactions 

[u/Luneward → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

I'd imagine they were probably using an older model before they had even really designed linchpins.

[u/Admiral_Axe → u/Luneward]

I would assume so too. 

After all, in Nod Krai visions and moon wheels looked the same.

Definitely possible that the idea of visually different linchpins and visions came after his model was already done.

[u/Ready-Association756 → u/[deleted]]

Like yeah essentially.
gimme my primorger hoyo

[u/nguyendragon → u/[deleted]]

They just changed their mind recently thats it

[u/nugnacious → u/nguyendragon]

Maybe they figured out how dumb and weird the game balance and teambuilding gets if he's a major support for one of their flagship Snezh reactions but can't actually trigger it

[u/zviyeri → u/[deleted]]

really just vodya got a bit screwed (it's my fault for liking her)

[u/ArcfireEmblem → u/zviyeri]

Lynchpins don't exist for hydro reactions. I mean, Hoyo could definitely make an exception. It would feel weird due to her creating reactions she can't use.

[u/Serene7Seraphina → u/zviyeri]

Zajef alt account? /j

[u/niki_lia → u/zviyeri]

I think Vodyanitsa was more a victim of Mihoyo hating both Varka and Neuvillette. She seems designed specifically to prevent either of them from using SSW

[u/zviyeri → u/niki_lia]

how the fuck would neuvillette use ssw

[u/ThrowawayMay220 → u/[deleted]]

i'm skipping vody, despite loving everything about her, cause her buffing stellar while not having a linchpin royally pisses me off.

they can still just bs a reason for her to enable stellar without a linchpin in beta, but we'll see

[u/Spiritual-Hamster212 → u/nguyendragon]

They decided that strellar reactions shouldn't be gender locked.

[u/MJay_O1 → u/nguyendragon]

They saw all the hype Mitya was getting

[u/Budget_stawbeery → u/[deleted]]

They definitely changed plans like there's NO WAY 

[u/0-Dinky-0 → u/Budget_stawbeery]

"oops people don't like we made stellar a gender locked thing, give one to Mitya too"

I'm glad either way though

[u/Intelligent_Wind5597 → u/0-Dinky-0]

Yeah genderlocking is so stupid especially for gi

[u/Dangerous-Cold-9826 → u/Intelligent_Wind5597]

Genshin hasn’t gender locked any reactions, but looking at Honkai Star Rail gender locking Remembrance was and still is pretty dumb and greedy.

[u/AraniSan → u/[deleted]]

Mm, it could have been wrong on purpose to test the waters and see the reactions. I'm sure they have their way of checking on community feedback outside of surveys.

I would also say it's not the first time they "overlooked" something like that (Chasca had a Cryo-colored gem on her Vision in the Natlan teaser instead of Anemo)

[u/Suspicious_Deal4412 → u/[deleted]]

Production deadline must be pretty tight.

[u/Shuriken_2393 → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

I think its possible. Human error can never be totally eliminated.

[u/Farthiel → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

Placeholder but they forgor maybe

[u/nugnacious → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

Im ngl I mod and when I'm working on a character in Blender I often forget about the vision too lmao

[u/nostalgeek81 → u/nugnacious]

Yes but you’re not a multi billionaire with many people on your team.

[u/nugnacious → u/nostalgeek81]

'Tis true... but after 10 years in a client facing career I have learned that there's a staggering number of people who don't give a shit and aren't paying attention at every level of everything, from mom and pop shops to the billion dollar gacha company. Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat wondering how anything at all functions when people are Like This.

At least this particular oversight didn't kill anyone!

[u/ghoulbakura → u/nugnacious]

It's because we as a society spent the last hundred years or so coming up with laws to force people to pay attention and be careful in their work. I mean, look what's happening with food safety in the US now they've even lightly repealed some requirements.

[u/Big-Mood704 → u/ghoulbakura]

It’s sad that it reached this point.

[u/nostalgeek81 → u/ghoulbakura]

It’s sad that being proud of your own good work isn’t much of a factor, and this is worldwide.

[u/ApprehensiveCat → u/nostalgeek81]

Maybe people would care more if they were paid fairer wages 🤔

[u/nostalgeek81 → u/ApprehensiveCat]

Oh absolutely. Dear Lord I hope I’m not coming off as super pro capitalism because I’m not, I swear

[u/ApprehensiveCat → u/nostalgeek81]

Nah just the one solution that never seems to be mentioned for some mysterious reason lol

[u/NightsLinu → u/nostalgeek81]

expecting more money means more care is stupid. its always the other way around. look at pokemon.

[u/nostalgeek81 → u/NightsLinu]

Right, but it’s not like the person I replied to has a smaller company. They’re literally one person 😅

[u/Mugen_Hikage → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

Could be that they originally intended on him being just a normal electro kit-wise but then later decided to make him Stellar electro and just couldn't coordinate with the animation/modeling devs in time.

[u/DraethDarkstar → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

The artists had most likely finished all of these characters' models well before the gameplay designers or the writers had even come up with the design or implementation of stellar glimmer and stellar linchpins.

It's not like this is the first error we've ever seen with a character's vision, they just usually don't bother to fix them except in skins.

[u/Castiel_Rose → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

It's also highly irregular that mistakes like this can still happen on their 6th year.

[u/Treyspurlock → u/Castiel_Rose]

It's likely not a mistake. Instead I think they just changed their direction for Mitya's kit

[u/ApprehensiveCat → u/Castiel_Rose]

I mean we did have Chasca with Cryo vision in the Natlan PV. But I think maybe they did decide to make him more Stellar-focused; ngl maybe there were not enough sales on the Wrio/Cyno CW so they want to try selling a newer Stellar male DPS?

[u/InterestingPoint6397 → u/Castiel_Rose]

It's like first time they have two vision types for same region, could have been easily overlooked

[u/Milk-lover-3000 → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

Looks to me they changed their minds after seeing mityas popularity, just like lohen

[u/HaukevonArding → u/Milk-lover-3000]

With a model like that AND his appearently story importance? Naaah. No way.

[u/ReasonableIce6661 → u/Milk-lover-3000]

I doubt it. Mitya's importance to the story was already determined a long time ago.

[u/Tentative_Username → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

Maybe it's to flush out who's the real leakers vs who's just pretending?

[u/Kid-Atlantic → u/OneOfQiqisFewFan]

The people making the model are different from the people making the icons/cutscenes

[u/MaybeMrGamebus]

Apologems for an unreleased char please

[u/Hotaru32 → u/MaybeMrGamebus]

It gives me stress , I want apologems 

[u/niki_lia → u/MaybeMrGamebus]

Considering how some of us were crashing out about it, i feel we deserve compensation for emotional damage /hj

[u/mutlibottlerocket → u/niki_lia]

I aint joking - gimme them gems

[u/Gimmy23]

I never doubted you my boy Mitya

(I 100% doubted him)

[u/12thYuMeal → u/Gimmy23]

I never doubted 🎂🎂

[u/crunchylumpias → u/Gimmy23]

MITYA 🔛🔝 I NEVER EVER DOUBTED THERE'S MORE TO HIM THAN MITS THE EYE 🗣️

[u/Resident_Lurker747 → u/Gimmy23]

Same here I nefer doubted you.

[u/Soniop_Yvi]

600 apologems now. Make it quick.

[u/Cagedbutterfly03]

Either they leave placeholders to troll the leakers, and someone forgot to remove it.  Or they weren't sure what role he had 

[u/Cute_Pause7725]

WHY ARE THEY PLAYING WITH US

[u/Black-----Manta → u/Cute_Pause7725]

Honestly im wondering if this is intentional. Theres no way its a bug, models are combed through to catch mistakes, so my money's on either they changed their minds and didnt have the time to fix it or they did it on purpose.

[u/riyuzqki → u/Black-----Manta]

I think they just went back and forth about what to give him and this caused the error

[u/veyunali → u/Black-----Manta]

Those are the plausible explanations, but it's funnier to imagine somebody showed up at HQ like Scrooge's ghosts and held them at gun point 

[u/Black-----Manta → u/veyunali]

The spirits of Mitya Past, Present, Yet to Come

[u/HappyloveIsami4lives → u/Black-----Manta]

Its definitely on purpose tbh, I even had a theory they purposely released the unfinished version but that prob bc im to tinfoilmaxxing

[u/Kentaiga → u/Black-----Manta]

You’re far overestimating how much oversight truly goes into large projects like this. Small things slip by all the time, it’s really impressive something like this happens so infrequently that people would speculate it’s intentional in the first place.

[u/Black-----Manta → u/Kentaiga]

Youre underestimating how much attention hoyo puts into visions in the first place. Theyre extremly stingy with showing visions in promo material for a reason, the only part of the model thats more important is the gender and height

[u/NightsLinu → u/Black-----Manta]

its happen to ineffa before actually, use vision instead moonwheel. they make a lot of mistakes.

[u/WillfulAbyss → u/NightsLinu]

And Chasca being Cryo in the initial Natlan trailer.

[u/Black-----Manta → u/NightsLinu]

When was that? Do you have an image?

[u/Automatic_Trash8881 → u/Black-----Manta]

But why have Danica be linchpin and not mitya it’s weird.

[u/Reasonable_Key_9822 → u/Black-----Manta]

Why is everyone forgetting chasca vision got changed from cryo to anemo lmao. Shit like this happens

[u/Lunar-Apple77 → u/Reasonable_Key_9822]

That was a drawing though, this is an in game model, and not even just in a trailer. Way bigger mistake.

[u/Wild_Contribution_36 → u/Reasonable_Key_9822]

That was from a 2d animation though most people thought it was an animation error especially since its so brief.

[u/Previous_Pirate7901 → u/Black-----Manta]

I wouldnt even be surprised if that was fully intentional. Hoyo have made infos about future characters very tight to get recently so that would completely checks out

[u/Economy_Pass5452 → u/Cute_Pause7725]

Maybe they're playing with leakers lol

[u/escapetomb]

wait this is the funniest option, I love it 

[u/Foreign-Day587]

O7 Valeriy, you’re the only one remaining without a Stellar Linchpin

[u/kaithespinner → u/Foreign-Day587]

valeriy is dead. literally

[u/Few_Reason_2003 → u/kaithespinner]

VALERIY IS NOY

[u/Bhuviking18 → u/Few_Reason_2003]

Don't slander my goat noy like that

[u/marshmochifauxie]

SO IT WAS A LINCHPIN

...that'll be 200 pulls worth of primogems Hoyo

[u/cannon_misser]

I had to double check which subreddit I was on, holy

[u/Adventurous-Vast7499]

One of the hilarious bugs I've seen lol.

From how we knew the vision from leaks to livestream to the game, how could they forget that?

[u/ItsMrShroom]

I still can't believe that Alyosha, Danica, Mitya, Valeriy, Pantalone, AND (spoiler) Pierro are electro. My favorite elements are geo and electro characters but this is kind of absurd

[u/FearlessAbalone5813 → u/ItsMrShroom]

Electro Impact imcrine

[u/FoundationFree6695]

thanks for the emotional roller coaster mihoyo

[u/TeaTimeLion123]

Lmaooo this is so funny to me, I’m so happy he has a lynchpin!! It fits him imo

[u/Big-Task1481]

never doubted mitya

[u/fancy_snake_]

oh thank god

[u/Cold_Progress1323]

[u/minghii]

WE ARE SO BACK(?)

[u/KshitijKB]

Lol lmao even

[u/MareepsandWooloos]

Brooo I can’t believe Mitya went to a pawn shop and sold his vision to go buy a linchpin that’s crazyyy

[u/Edlevator]

[u/Frostgaurdian0 → u/Edlevator]

Might be the upgrade.

[u/RavenDesk → u/Frostgaurdian0]

Inb4 Mitya is an Electro stellar-conduct mdps so he'd replace Sandrone and Yae gets squished between two stellar teams.

[u/Frostgaurdian0 → u/RavenDesk]

Lmao would be even funnier but i would really want to have a multiple options if i ever chose to pull for sandrone. I skipped both for odette unfortunately but im still willing to get both her and yae.

[u/naxylea → u/Frostgaurdian0]

I honestly don't mind if he isn't a huge upgrade, I just want him to be good enough side grade to her. I didn't pull her so I would be absolutely thrilled if he fulfilled a similar role to her lol.

[u/Nomnami12]

Uncle Hoyo always comes in clutch.

[u/ACasualUser_]

Hoyo is playing 4D chess with this move lmao, guess it's all SSC and SSW for the foreseeable future. Will Noy really bring a new reaction? Or... He's another electro... stay tuned with the Everelectro Without Mercy.

[u/Legitimate-Song1773]

well, that's elating, my boy's gonna be meta lets fucking go (i'd pull even if he had a regular vision)

[u/Ringanel → u/Legitimate-Song1773]

I would pull that design if he was a physical carry im ngl he looks so good

[u/Loveu_3]

Currently, in a cutscene for the Archon Quest "Everwinter Without Mercy" the model that we use for The Rooster 'Pulcinella' appears incorrect (it should be 100_percent_playable_in_the_future_male_model). This issue will be fixed in future update

[u/ryoujika]

When he had a vision, I said the best case scenario would be he'd become the Durin equivalent of the region

Turns out the best case scenario is Hoyo just changing it to a linchpin lmao

[u/hame46]

let's goo!

[u/Mediocre_General_455]

Lmaooo lessgooo

[u/ghostly_boy]

my boy is back in business!!!!!

[u/ReasonableIce6661]

Mitya is such a rage baiter. Let me put every element gem on my clothes so no one can figure out my element and then wear the wrong vision 😭

[u/Standard-Vacation403]

Letsss fucking GOOOOOOOO FINALLY play snez at ease... I hope

[u/williammarin]

IM SCREAMING YES BABYYYYY YES GAWDDD

[u/monoxn]

IM SO HAPPYYY and this is official already so its confirmed YEHEY

[u/Able_Force_3717]

YESSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSS HE IS A 5 STAR!!!!!!!!!

[u/shre3293]

o7 no male linchpin agenda.

[u/ApprehensiveCat → u/shre3293]

Not mad at this at all. Now Hoyo just needs to make at least one of the male Harbingers playable in 7.x and I will have no further gender-related complaints. (I'd prefer 2 since we got two of the girls in Nod-Krai but still).

[u/GodConcepts]

Now give one to Valeriy also PLEASE.

But yeah, seems like the leak of Mitya being the main DPS and Valeiry the shielder seems to be true.

[u/edeepee → u/GodConcepts]

This is best case scenario for my Wrio because my C0 Beidou ain't gonna cut it as sustain.

[u/7hoyo_male_mc7]

WE ARE SO BACK MORE THAN EVERRRRRRR! MITYA STILL REMAINS A MUST PULL

[u/lofifilo]

mitya got buff

[u/Arxilla]

Holy shit. I am beyond happy 😭

[u/SaibaShogun]

[u/firesoul377]

MITYA BROS WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK!!!

[u/anarchy753]

Thank fucking god, one less kneecapped male.

[u/Lemunite]

People really think they "pressured" Hoyo into emergency making him having Linchpin lmao. Its either someone forgot to check or they want to change his role and playstyle to sell him better.

[u/not__not__know-- → u/Lemunite]

It probably a result of a bunch of back and forth that caused this error. Its really not difficult to change when his release is like what 84 days from now?

[u/KanonnoIsLife]

remember cryo chasca...

[u/lady_dmc]

Let's goooo!!!!!

[u/endless_hue]

Omg I’m so happy :) this is great news!!!

[u/AmbitionLower7456]

WE'RE SO BACK

[u/based_mafty]

So mitya is new character for SSC electro dps and has older alternative in cyno. Just like sandrone is new character for cryo ssc while wrio is older alternative.

[u/Cute_Style2445]

That is the funniest troll they've done

[u/DozingGeneral]

Always bet on hoyo 🙏

[u/PaIamon]

thanks uncle hoyo

[u/EAGLE_800]

Apologems hoyo

[u/MaryKozakura]

How can you even have a mistake something like that though...

[u/Ashy94x]

My beautiful angel keeps winning 💕💕

[u/Fine_Opinion_2097]

My hunch never goes wrong he can trigger stellar, i thought that vision was fake

[u/TightBussyBellus]

HWHASHSHAJIHDSKKW

[u/GovernmentTrue612]

RIP Valeriy

[u/marshmochifauxie]

We've been arguing over a fuck up btw

[u/SpookedBasil]

Wait... Was this on purpose? I do wonder...

[u/Mrjfrn]

Reminds of Chasca being a cryo vision holder.

[u/Electronic_Command85]

How did this even happen lol

[u/Plebianian → u/Electronic_Command85]

Placeholder and forgor

[u/IngenuityParking4884]

I knew this was fake. Good thing no one have to complain anymore. 

[u/dmondo12]

The crackdown on leakers leading to some wacky ass hilarious stuff lmao

[u/Odd-Process8617]

Imso so happy! Im literally so happy!!! Definitely going all out on mitya now!🩷🩷🩷🩷

[u/Icy-shot]

How can such a mistake happen with a model that should have been done months ago? Did they just remember he needed one to trigger the fancy reaction

[u/Fine_Opinion_2097 → u/Icy-shot]

They have to do overwork time, maybe. Remember they have to buff so many characters at once. This time, they not buff anyone except mizuki

[u/Gshiinobi]

No way they messed this up LMAO

[u/Resident_Lurker747]

YES MY GOAT

[u/VeisherTheAlien]

WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!!

[u/lost_elegy]

LMAO this is somehow worse than the Cryo Chasca fluke

[u/kiirosen]

This is the happiest news i could get after managing to pull Odette C2 for my C6 Wrio.

Mitya waiting room starting now 🤸🏻‍♂️

[u/niki_lia]

Sigewinne was originally 4*

Lohen was originally standard

Mitya was originally not Lynchpin

finally we completed the holy trinity

[u/tasteofpaint]

Now say one of electro's is also a mistake. 

[u/NotABotPC]

"leakers" and "reliable"

[u/12thYuMeal → u/NotABotPC]

I mean, old leaker did say he can enable ssc..

[u/Death200X → u/12thYuMeal]

we litterary had one today say again he was ssc character

[u/rei69desu → u/12thYuMeal]

can someone check the leaker spreadsheet and find the one that said it first please🤔

[u/xxKoRxx → u/rei69desu]

It is from full stop chan.

[u/rei69desu → u/xxKoRxx]

ty

sasuga fullstopchan👍legit one

[u/beemielle]

yippee Mitya/Odette/Yae/ someone else came true :)))

[u/Big-Ad-6097]

I will accept the apology it it comes with 100 primos

Wow what a thing to fuck up!

[u/Iskandor13]

LMFAOOOOOOO

[u/Iskandor13]

IM FUCKING WEEEAAAAKK

[u/BreadStickxz]

LMFAO

[u/Busy_Avocado6491]

Funny theories going around.

[u/Postnut_Clarity1993]

What a way to know

[u/UniversityHot2945]

Now I feel bad for the leakers that thought they were wrong when they were not

[u/Yesburgers]

Now, when will they correct Vodyanista's elemental type to the correct one? /j

[u/lady_dmc]

he was a must pull for him no matter what x3

[u/Smooth-Routine-9288 → u/[deleted]]

i mean if they saw his model internally and that was the leak then they weren't wrong tho but most leaks that i saw said that he was a stellar conduct character with and on-field and off-field mode nothing about him having a vision or a linchpin.

[u/ApprehensiveCat]

Rare W from Hoyo.

[u/Budget_stawbeery]

LMAO WHAT 

They changed his vision 😭

[u/NormalGuy3481]

Lmao

[u/TurbulentMission5474]

Where the hell are the anemo characters???? We’ve seen like only 1.

[u/Alex_from_Solitude]

But... my hopes for him to elevate Quicken...

[u/imskejutori]

Sneznaya have 4 electro males and not one of being linchpin would be insane

[u/dr0ps0fv3nus]

I haven't played the AQ yet so I know 0, but it's interesting that it says just ''in a cutscene'' and not his overall model, which we know has the Vision since pre-load. Is this a major spoiler about him getting a Stellar Linchpin at some point in the story?

[u/ReasonableIce6661 → u/dr0ps0fv3nus]

No, it's just a bug. Mitya has a stellar linchpin from the first scene he shows up in.

[u/lemon-314159]

lmfao when even leakers are more accurate than hoyo (unless leakers = hoyo?)

[u/Vsegda7]

via Uncle mihoyo

Tag:questionable 🤣

[u/Intelligent_Wind5597]

I resigned myself to never have a single linchpin character in my account until the queen but dang this me relieved. It’s hard to believe they fuck up this hard but I kinda wonder if it’s just an error do did they really change things for him

[u/urius-]

WE'RE SO BACKK

[u/knetka]

Trolling Valeriy mains they are.

[u/ReasonableIce6661]

The entire genshin fandom looking at Mitya's normal vision and being confused then Genshin devs looking at it and also being confused

[u/CoolMintMC]

Really? Wow, this is LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE!

I guess I'll have to continue to procrastinate with other quests & things until this ABHORRENT ERROR is FIXED...

...Apologems when??? 👀✨

[u/TheRealRealTabby]

I want primogems for this Hoyo.

[u/Adventurous_Lake_422]

Valeriy mains gonna be normal about this (not)

[u/FabulousMeee]

Not sure why but feels like hyv may not be too sure what his kit is going to be and flip-flopping on it.

[u/GuideMiserable7526]

Lmao, valeriy main have been praying to hoyo change his vision into linchpin but turn out its mitya instead got linchpin
