Game improvements
In addition to all the innovations, the game will also undergo some changes to improve the quality of the gaming experience:
- Automatic equipping of characters with artifacts will become available. It will be produced in two ways: either with recommended sets that most players use for a specific hero, or through individual customization. You will be able to independently choose a set, the number of artifacts from it, as well as the necessary stats. They will also implement the ability to pick up already equipped relics or choose only from free ones in the Inventory.
- In the decor making menu in The teapot of serenity It will be possible to filter furniture by belonging to the internal or external arrangement. It will also be possible to sort items that have already been made and those that have never been created.
- After ing the character test, you will no longer have to leave the dungeon and return to the event menu on your own; the transition to the next hero will be available directly on the ending screen.
- For consoles and computers, a dynamic resolution function will be added, which, thanks to dynamic object recognition, will increase the accuracy of the surfaces of marked areas of models.
- Another 5 slots will be added to the squad menu, increasing their number to 15.
- After collecting 4 rewards for assignments, a notification about the need to visit Katerina will appear in the Directory.
- A daily quest is more likely to appear if the associated achievement has not yet been completed. Thus, it is presumably better to choose a random drop so that the game itself offers the necessary daily events.
Trailer version 4.4
We hope this article helped you learn more about Genshin Impact Update 4.4. Share your opinion about the patch in comments. Which of the above are you most looking forward to? Read builds.
Please add that the developers have FINALLY increased the likelihood of a daily event appearing for which the achievement has not yet been received. Improvement of the century, I believe
Skip is fierce. When will the characters be normal? I think that my squad, consisting of only 4*, plays better than all this, in general I usually give preference to 4*, oddly enough
Actually, Persians are more than normal. If you only play 4*, then this is your problem.
Li Yue is like this: EXPANSION OF TERRITORIES
Another 5 slots will be added to the squad menu, increasing their number to 15.
They'll freeze the glasses
Thanks, corrected)
So they add additional squad slots. It would be better if the amount of resin was increased
funny for whom they came up with the promotion buy ps5 and get a skin in your favorite genshin
Obviously for those who want to buy a ps5.
What kind of 4* characters will be in the banners?
Not yet drained, in the first phase of Ka Ming)
will the fountain limit in fountain be increased in this patch? or wait for a couple more with the already accumulated pile of hydro pesati?
Hardly. The area belongs to Li Yue, so the seals will most likely be Geo. The limit will only increase with the expansion of Fontaine.
Hurray, the Klee skin is waiting for me! My sister just bought her 5th curling iron, which has a gensh on it. I’ll to my through her curling iron and I’ll have a free paid skin.
This only works in China.
Damn, I’ll have to start saving, at least I’ll save up a little bit, otherwise it’s no wonder that my assignments with primogems have been hanging around for six months)
Does anyone know what epics will be in the nahida banner??
Not leaked yet
I have one question. What is Lumine doing there? She will return to Iter. And the trailer is awesome.
And what 4 Persians will be with Xiao? Or is it still unknown?
Unknown
I hope Rosaria...
Rosaria was in the banners with Navia and Ayaka, I don’t think she will be added so soon
Ehh.. I was so hoping that there would be Xiao in phase 1, I’m so tired of saving up 🙁
And the of the old processors will never be returned
And thank God
But, if in 4.4 there is a new territory of Li Yue, then what kind of oculi will be there? Will they add new levels of the Geo Archon statue or will there be hydrocules? After all, this is Li Yue, not Fontaine...
There will be a new offering system mentioned in this article
You are not right! The offering system has nothing to do with the archon statues. A jade mechanism is not the same as an archon statue!
I didn't say that. Just noted that there will be a system of offerings)
How it was with the lake at dusk, I think. True, I don’t whether there were oculi there or not, the region was closed very quickly, but it seemed like there were oculi. In principle, it’s expected, I think when they increase the mondstat they will do the same garbage.....
They say that in phase 1: Xian Yun and Nahida... I hope Xiao will be in the first phase, tell me, is he still in phase 1?
For now, Xiao is supposed to be in the second one. We'll find out for sure on the stream.
Can anyone please tell me what about hydrocules?? I raised it to level 8 and 24 hydroculus, but I can’t find information about whether they will be added or whether there will be a new Fontaine territory😭😭 I probably missed all the updates
new hydrocules will definitely be in Fontaine in 4.6, in 4.4, as far as we know, we are not expecting them
Byavlvshchbvdvlch, why release skins without the characters themselves? If I'm not mistaken, it has always been like this: if there is a skin for a character, then there will be his banner.
it was only with cli
Eh, what about the skin for my grandfather (I hoped so)
I ... But alas, the f***ers think that only guys will donate to them for the sake of teasing..... So Dilyuk with Xingqiu is just for show, so that they don’t say that the game only s the male part of gamers, a common feature in games, alas
I'm more interested in something else. Will it really be possible to choose a free skin? Is this a proposal or more or less official information? I just came to the game half a year ago, but I really like the skin for Ninka, and if the info is true, then for me it’s super!
While this is only information from insiders, the conditions for selection are currently unknown. We are waiting for the developers' stream)
I’ve been saving for xiao for 2 months, I’m really looking forward to 4.4, already 73 spins👀
I’ve been saving up for Xiao + for a month, already 10k primogems and 17 spins.
I'm saving up for I don't know who. Already 300+ spins
Upd: 15k and 15 twists.
Upd2: 20k and 15 spins)
190 twists)))
Of course, I don’t know what anyone cares about, but as for me, the most important “drain” that can only be in Genshin is the release of banners (at least approximately), but everything else - quests, locations, events, it is secondary, because you don’t need to prepare for them as opposed to knocking out and dressing characters =)
Yes, whatever, because I personally don’t care what kind of Persians and banners there are, I’m already sick of it.
I’m personally interested in a new plot, new locations, mechanics and events, because that’s the only reason I play, and not to masturbate and farm Persians, the team has been assembled for a long time and no one else is needed, now just enjoy new lands and stories)
I agree with the guy below. There are also 20-25 Persian legendaries (all level 90), all epic (level 90-70, no one below level 70).
Everyone is quite strong and I crush the Persians just those who are not there yet (and it doesn’t matter 4* or 5*).
But the plot, location, new mechanics, banal recipes, etc. are just interesting.
I want a fireplace, but I doubt whether it will be part of the sea lantern festival prize. Where heroes are given out for 4☆.
It seems like liu
It will be, since he is 4* from Li Yue
Yao Yao had just come out last time and was being handed over. He will also most likely be extradited
Shouldn't there be a Nahida rerun in 4.4? Now there is a so-called “parade of archons” and it usually includes all the archons; of those available in the game, only Nahida remains.
Insiders have not yet reported about it. I like the idea of a parade myself, but for now we have what we have
The composition of the banners will most likely be like this:
Phase 1: Guardian and Ganyu/Shan He
Phase 2: Nahida and Ganyu/Shan He
The fact that the guardian in the first phase (like all new characters) and nahida in the second phase (like all archons) is 100%. There will be skins for Shan He and Goat and therefore most likely they will be in banners, but I don’t know who is in what phase
In this case, there will be no Ganyu or Shen He. Xiao will be 100%, he is at every lantern festival and no one was going to cancel this good old tradition
Nahida, meanwhile, no, no, I'll f**k you. Nahida will definitely be in 4.4 since the parade of archons began with the grandfather, and in 4.3 there will be a raid, Anahida has not yet happened
if there is nahida, she should beat nila; now they are always together. but they won’t be there so as not to delay with the banners (it might be a waste) and not to remove the harmony
Hurray, this appendix between Mond (Storm Terror Lair) and Li Yue (Qingce Village) will finally be removed. Just one question: will they also bring geoculs? Otherwise, I raised the statue to the maximum, and then this happens.
There will be no geocules, there will be hydrocules
There can be neither one nor the other
Is it true that Genshin will be paid? So now we can’t just play like that?
No, Genshin is free and will remain so :)
As far as I know, they wanted to make paid cloud gaming but it apparently folded F
It’s more about talking about the engine, that they wanted royalties for it
The developers are already getting a lot of money from donations, there is simply no point in making it paid, on the contrary, many players will leave and donators as well, since it’s unlikely that many people will want to shove in even more money
So not all information is reliable. For example, that in 4.4 there should be a rerun of Nahida, since according to Genshin’s rules, it is impossible to interrupt the parade of Archons. That one starts at 4.0, therefore the parade will end at 4.5. Therefore, Ganyu's rerun will already be at 4.5. And Chenyu is also in doubt, as some leftist insiders talk about her. After all, neither UncleSH, nor Plusie, nor even UncleYC talked about this. Therefore, in the best case, the developers will add the last part of Fontaine, since in 4.3 they will add a dungeon between the Bello and Mort districts, where there are two new artifact sets (This also follows Genshin’s rules.) There should still be the remaining 56 (57) hydrocules and two tombs of the depths. And this already leads to the rerun of Furina in version 4.5, taking into the tips from UncleSH regarding the Guardian in 4.4 and Harlequin in 4.6. Moreover, the Archon Quest with Dainsleif will be in 4.6 after the rerun of Furina. One can say one thing about quests in 4.4 - there will 100% be the Quest of the Archons “Intermediate Volume. Chapter IV." And the beta test for 4.4 has not started yet. So we need to wait for those results from there.
Correction: The Archon Parade will end at 4.4.
I haven't mentioned yet that Fontaine is supposed to have the seventh and final world boss from Fontaine? So, he will also be there in the last part of Fontaine. It's better to wait for the results of the beta test. Because I told how everything would go according to Genshin’s rules, which HoYoVerse follows.
Again you... God... When will the plum video appear, so that you don’t see this nonsense in the comments anymore... Although it will happen there too: everything will change! Uncle Slivers of all sorts do not lie! They changed everything at the last moment on purpose to annoy them! etc
Unfortunately, Genshin's rules do not allow such conclusions to be introduced. First, wait for the results of the beta test, only then give your reasons. It is true that the first stage of banners 4.4 will include Guardian and Xiao. And there will be chapter 4 of the Interim Volume too. But then why out of 4 banners only two elements of the elements have two characters each, when there should be at least three elements? After all, only one element of the element (in this case Anemo) can have a maximum of two Persians and no more. We recently argued about the rerun of Ayaka in version 4.3. And in the end, her rerun will take place, and it should have, since her rerun usually comes after Ayato’s rerun. And Nahida’s rerun in 3.6 came after Ayaka’s rerun in 3.5, so it will be the same here.
I wonder where you got all these “rules” from. Just because something like this happened once doesn’t mean it will happen forever.
There have been similar cases. Although these cannot be ruled out. We have one day left until the announcement of the Persians. And the beta test of 4.4 will begin after the release of 4.3. In addition, I'm looking at what the Twisted Abyss 4.4 will look like, which lasts from February 1, 2024 to March 15, 2024. This is through abyss.wiki, if that.
The same case when in 4.3 Yoimiya will be reran, although she has already been re-wounded many times. But this happened because on the 12th floor of the Twisted Abyss in January 2024, a lvl 95 Thunder Manifestation is expected, which flies anywhere, and 2 lvl 100 Electro Lavachurls, which can one-shot one of the Persians.
You have very interesting theories and “rules” of genshin, but you yourself didn’t really believe in Eimiya literally before the stream
Perhaps we are trying to argue with a bot?
I can't say anything about this)
Don’t touch this one, he didn’t come up with something for himself and is trying to convince everyone of it. What kind of nonsense he was talking about before that is scary to
With such words you prove your meanness. Wait for the results of the beta test first, then judge.
The same applies to you, do not mislead people with your wishes. With your logic, everything will EXACTLY not be as you said. Why? Because I said so.
You don’t even know who these insiders gave that information that has not been confirmed. Even more famous insiders like UncleSH, Plusie, and even UncleYC didn’t talk about what would actually happen in 4.4. We are fighting because we are trying to find what is true. For example, we fought about what would be in banners 4.3.
You're wrong. There has always been a parade of archons. The first was in 1.0-1.1, then in 1.4-1.5, then in 2.4-2.6, then in 3.0-3.3 and now it started in 4.0. And only 1 time they VIOLATED it (you claim the opposite), when there was the first Raiden banner in 2.1. Then Raiden left without the other archons.
We take information from insiders, of course it is not 100% until the developers say so. If Nahida was leaked in 4.4, send me the link, we will be happy to check the information and clarify everything. I myself like the theory of the parade of Archons, but I don’t expect the developers to indulge my imagination
Today we found information from abyss.wiki about the list of enemies in the 12th floor of the Twisted Abyss 4.4 (Beta V1). There are only three world bosses, one each in the second half: Setekh Wenut (Lv. 95), Serpent of Ruin (Lv. 98) and Dragon of Eternal Calamities (Lv. 100). One thing that can be said about the Aeonblight Drake is that he appeared in the Abyss twice: In Abyss 3.2 (During Nahida's debut banner) and in Abyss 3.6 (During Nahida's first rerun). As a result, the Aeonblight Drake is assigned to Nahida, because Manifestation of Thunder is assigned to Yoimiya, and the Perpetual Mechanical Array is assigned to Raiden.
The list of enemies can be changed up to Beta V3.
There will be no rerun of Nahida in the near future and no “parade of the Archons”. You can screenshot it.
We were still arguing about banners 4.3, before the release of 4.2. Then you believed that Raiden, Navia, Itto and Albedo would be there. And if I had said then that instead of Albedo there would have been Ayaka, you wouldn’t have believed it. It's the same here.
Nahida may be, but depending on how unexpected the news about the patch sometimes is, everything can change
Abyss.wiki states that in the Twisted Abyss 4.4 there will be a Dragon of Eternal Calamities, which is imprisoned for Nahida (as in 3.2 and 3.6). This information may still change.
Hello everyone, thoughts on the release of character reruns, etc. You can only see when they come out, and I don’t see any point in guessing!!
After all, the developers can launch a beta test, but change the characters from the reruns themselves!!!
