We hope this article helped you learn everything about the Genshin Impact 4.2 update. Share your opinion about the patch in comments. What do you expect most from the version? Read other gaming articles in the sections in the relevant section our website.
Can the main plot of Fontaine end in two patches or am I missing something? it seemed to me that story (main) quests would be released all year until the new region
We finished Sumeru in 5 chapters, then only the bonus chapter of the interim volume and the chapter with Dainsleif were there. So it's possible
According to the developers, there will be a new Li Yue region in update 4.4, as there will be an announcement of a new playable adept. There is still a possibility of the appearance of the port of Monstad, which was rumored, but this is not at all certain. So before Natlan appears, new regions from other countries besides Fontein will be revealed to us.
Didn’t the miners mine materials for upgrading Furina/Charlotte?
mined, you can look in the builds at Charlotte)
+50 marks, really?
what about the load in the kettle?
Can we wait for the snowy one?
LORD FINALLY. It's infuriating that the weekly bosses are tied to the plot and quests of the legends. It’s strange that the Hoyovers only came up with this now, and not from the start of the game.
They didn’t think anything of it, they just deliberately put a spoke in the wheels so that players would spend extra time in the game, getting to the desired stage of the plot, and only when the discontent of the newcomers (they neglected the old ones, considering that they were already “on the needle”) began to reach the limit, We immediately quickly added layers to the map (I send greetings to everyone who found the desert in Sumeru), and switches between devices, and a choice between daily gems and cleaning the map for daily gems.
And yes, a change that has been awaited since the days of Inazuma.
I caught the desert when it came out. I went through it all. With pleasure. I completed all the quests. I covered all parts of the desert 100% without even looking at any guide. I would love to see a continuation of the desert and some more quests and content. My favorite part of the game. I adore her. In general, everything about Sumeru really suited me. Li Yue and Inazuma too. Fontaine is just a total dislike. It didn't work at all. I had a hard time forcing myself to close all current areas 100%. I'm looking forward to the continuation. Nausea again. The mere thought of having to clean Fontaine’s new locks again leaves my mood in the negative. I force myself just for the sake of gems, because I’m an FTP player. If I had donated it, I wouldn’t have touched it at all.
In the first part of Fontaine, only 4 chests remained unfound, and in the new one there are 6, and this is without a guide and a com (I will only receive it next week).
But even after cleaning with the Sumeru com and partly with the guide (only for the most stuffed chests), I have about 7-9 remaining (and even the conditional 100 gems in each of them will not force me to return to these jungles underground), and in the Rift there are as many as 12 — because the locations were created by a misanthrope 😀
Of course, I’m talking about true 100%, since I got gaming maximums everywhere.
Well, I clean for the sake of sport, I have no need to donate, but I feel euphoria from finding treasures.
Oh, bro. He described my feelings purely. The desert is simply the best part of the game in of atmosphere, quests, and NPCs. When Fontaine es, I grind my teeth. I’ve already quit the game several times since the release of Global 4, and I have to buy Luna to have at least some motivation to periodically.
It would be better if they made regular bosses, since not all bosses are available to players from the very beginning, how about, for example, a boss for Raiden? You need to first complete the story to Inazuma, then the quest for this boss
I could be wrong, because it was a long time ago, but it seems like you can get to the electric owl without a plot, like all the world bosses
Well I do not know. Of course, it’s more convenient for dialogue skippers, but I don’t know. The archons have very cool and spiritual evils, I would never advise beginners to skip this (I myself regret that I skipped Venti’s evil and had to replay it on a second , but I never received those emotions from evil since I learned the information from lore experts after first playthrough, but before replay...). But, again, if you like to press the space bar/click on dialogues and not read them, then it’s more convenient for you, but FOR ME PERSONALLY, the trick is not very good... I don’t want to start an argument, I’m just expressing my opinion
Well, they definitely stick it in Fremina. Those who wanted it were knocked out of the banner. For the rest, it's like a cow's saddle. They couldn’t give a normal four to anyone other than him. I hope the rumors don't come true.
In of benefits, I agree, it’s doubtful.
On the other hand, many did not spin the second half of 4.0, waiting for new Persians, and for them this is a good opportunity to get a four for the collection (in my case, for the standard spin), without knocking down the guarantor.
For collection and leveling up for the sake of standard twists, it will still drop out. One way or another, the banners are spinning. And for free it’s better to at least pick up some thread for a useful four.
Or it won’t come out, for example, I have a friend who Xingqiu still hasn’t got the chance even though he’s been playing for 1,5 years. Don’t project your luck onto all the players. But I decided to knock out Freminet - I spun 50 times - 2 Tartaglia and Tignari fell out, no matter what, by your logic I can now say that a 5-star character drops every 15 spins.
I bought my first Xingqiu from the Paimon store. I don't see a problem. But Sara and Goro ignore me (
What didn't you like about Fremin? Quite a good 4* DD, and at full constants it can even compare with legs
Please tell me, what is your Freminet wearing and what kind of train do you go with? Something didn’t work out for me with him :)
Why didn’t Fremin like it? Quite a good 4* DD, especially if you collect all the consts it’s comparable even to legs
Well, firstly, there is no guarantee that you will knock out the epic that you want, but you can accidentally knock out the leg that you don’t want, and secondly, they always do this with new Persians, or with the Persians with whom the inventory is associated, who else do you think could be there? Normal hero Fremin, why are you babbling, and why can’t you knock out the other “normal” four from the banner yourself since you’re so smart?
