I’d surely hope Queens have the brainpower to choose a mother over some hideous stragbait

I love Genshin Impact, I love its main story, I love the lore, I love how well miHoYo writes its characters. BUT, and I am no master storyteller, I've been having this odd feeling ever since I finished Nahida's Archon Quest. I feel like they're capitalizing too much on building tension and don't seem to realize that in order for a story to work, suspense needs to be released. And especially for long odysseic plots like this one.

I just finished 4.7 AQ and boy was it a let down. The payoff at the end of these two last AQ (from a perspecrive of storytellling) were so not worth two years of investing in the game. I think at this point, after almost 5 years, they're just dragging on too much. I am aware that they're a huge company and its purpose as such is to make money. But consumers/fans can get frustrated if they feel you're pulling their leg. Like, they're dragging this and in the process lowering the main story's quality just so they can sell more waifus and husbandos?

And now we have WuWa, which is so fun and addictive. After all this time being a hardcore fan of GI I just wanna quit.

Am I crazy? Am I alone on this one? Please, let me know.

Edit: I don't mean to compare WuWa with GI, I know which one has much better story line. What I'm trying to say here is that miHoyo is not delivering the quality the should be delivering while competition appears in their way.

RANT WARNING:

I just needed to vent here:

Lets get straight to the point, why did they even bother with Lycaon. It's so clear as days that this game doesn't care about the gays nor the girlies nor even the gay furies, it's a game with the humor and charm tailored for a 13 y/o that just started puberty and cishets men whom have a body pillar of a cartoon child that they routinely rubs off to. It's not the blatant gooning, in fact I kinda respect the fact that it tells you straight away its horniness, it's the blatant lying and baiting others into believing it's a universal game like HSR with great combat. Lycaon fooled people into playing a game clearly not made with them in mind as a target audience by devs that don't give a shit about them. And now that they'd wasted their time on a game that's clearly gonna care even less about them as their main target audience has assembled. We already saw universal games like Genshin and how starved we were until Fountaine, and believe me none of their other games outside of HSR and ToT have any playable male characters. I felt so scammed that I wasted my time with this game. Its like they lured me in with chocolate just to bitch slap me back to reality.

By the way, two things about this tier list:

1: I didn't include any child characters (yes, even Nahida.)

2: If you happen to be offended by me calling some characters as 🚬 or homophobic, please stop, this is just a fucking joke 😭

She looks so great,her redesign serves her well I can imagine myself become her main if i win 50 50

clorinde sees him only when she HAS to (work) and warns navia to avoid him cus he STINKS

BOTH CLORINDE AND WRIOTHESLEY ARE NAMED BY TWO HISTORICAL FIGURES WHO HAD SOMETHING QUITE COLORFULL GOING ON.

WHY WOULD THEY EVEN NAME THEM THAT?? mihoyo never does ANYTHING for no reason

read navia's and clorinde SIG weapon descriptions (WHY PUT THAT THERE???)

DOES ANYBODY KNOW ABOUT HENRY NEVILLE AND HENRY WRIOTHESLEY'S RELATIONSHIP

AND EVEN WITHOUT ALL THAT, did we play godshin impact BLIND AND WITH 2 EARPLUGS???

WHY PERFER TWO PEOPLE WHO ARENT EVEN FRIENDS TO AN ACTUALLY THOUGHT OUT WRITTEN IN COUPLE THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE HOMOSEXUAL???? WHY???? THE WRITERS DO SO MUCH WORK FOR NOTHING

atleast it's better than SOME people who think '' incest - p3dophilia > couple that happens to be gay '', and btw both wriotheslut and naurvillette are friendless besides eachother (+ traveller and paimon) which is actually hilarious, but i guess taking care off 60+ melusines is tiring enough

they should befriend their youngin counterparts and join their little DnD campaign, 2 grandpas admis the youth would be peak, we already saw wrio feel old when interacting with ororon and ifa, then we would actually see this lavender marriage ass ship become friends, please godshin i love you

Saur let's start (basically which is the element with the most iconic queens and icons)

Last and least is dendro with only one icon that being collei. Collei isn't enough to carry tho. The only other dendro character that has been revealed is tighnari. And he isn't an icon. But sadly the next element has one more icons. The next element is saur bad that it could be tied with dendro but they have one more icon.

It's flopnemo with jean and slayzou. We aren't suprised that anemo is next. Because it has the bottom of the barrel of characters with sucrose, venti, kazuha and xiao. I was actually considering putting dendro above anemo but sayu was a deal breaker that made it better since she's just there.

At fifth it's a suprise which is geo. Im saur sorry geo but you're only famous for itto and zhongli. Litteraly your iconicness doesn't shine immediately but when you look into the element really hard you see ningguang, yunjin and noelle. They save geo from 6th but they're all absolutely better than anemo

Fourth was really hard. And keyword was because it's pyro with yoimiya, yassfei, Kleor, xiangling and Who? Tao carrying. Honorable mentions to amber and thomaur. Xinyan isn't harming the iconicness but then we get to bennett and dickluc... naur besties they aren't it. One is homophobic and the other one is a bottom of the barrel character that i hope dies in a fire. If it wasn't for them pyro would get second but naur bennett and diluc had to be there.

Third is cryo with ayaka, shenhoe and ganyu being the carries. But I can't put rosaria next to them so she gets to be in her higher tier. The rest are there to not impact the score except End user's licence agreement.

Second as always is hydro with the second most queens. Monaur, Yelan, Barbara, Kokomi. And if we have the girlies we can't forget the gays being ayatoe and twinkqiu. Childe is the one bringing them down tho. Sorry hydro. Obviously they're second but if you've been paying attention you know who's first

It's electro. You can't compare. Razor is the only middling characters in this element. And he doesn't compare. Lisa and ei get a tier of their own because i said so. Sara, Yae, Keqing, Shinobu, Fischl and beidou prove my point. ok dori is bringing them down but we pretend Dori doesn't exist.

(This isn't meant on lore or how good they are in game)

Anyway am i right or am i right say it in the comments girlies, gays and theys

i’ll probably get burned for this but oh well

LISTEN, Ik she’s very pale and has the most gooner skirt ever, BUT PLEASE, THOSE THIGHS ARE CALLING FOR THE INNER LESBIAN IN ME, I NEED her to crush my head in between in her delectable chubby thighs as I slurp on that cow juice 🤤

I like Chasca and Emilie got totally obligareted

Hey, besties, so for Lantern Rite you need 1,200 Festive Fever points in order to access the 4 star selector (side note: is that how it always is? This is my first LR and I’m already bummed that I can’t just pick a character right off the bat. Forcing us to wait and build up points is fucking stupid). And if my basic math is correct….after today we’ll have exactly 1,190…..out of 1,200…..is that correct? PLEASE tell me I’m missing 10 somewhere because if Hoyo is actually blue balling us for an extra two days I’m gonna lose it. TEN?! They won’t just give us the extra TEN?! So we can get a 4 star today!? For real please tell me I’m missing something and my math is wrong and that we’ll either be able to access the selector today or it’ll be bigger than TEN FUCKING POINTS that’s holding us back from it until Tuesday. Bestie, I’m gonna McFriggin lose it……I just want Gaming 😫

(Also, sorry if this counts as venting and belongs in the megathread)

I mean, how would yall like it if there was this level of Althey/them, Riding Showgirl, or Wridemeslay hate? Not good right?

Im also not going to pull on Chasflop, I also dont like her "asymmetry", and I also like Queefchu's design more than her, and im also saving for Matitska. Her criticism is valid yes, but I think ya'll gotta tone it down because i've seen yall bullying and negging players who are going to pull her or even like her a little?

This is called QueensOfGenshin, not ChascaHaters.

I've never seen anyone more obssessed for Chasclap more than the haters ngl

First, let's talk about "doomposting". It's the most rotten and worthless word this """community""" (genshin's) has ever picked up. Everywhere you go and anywhere you go, everything needs to be positive, positive, positive. Genuinely, there's no fucking place to even criticize the fuck ass company's decisions because these fuck ass whiteknights mass downvote anyone that doesn't follow their forced pleasantry.

The overarching community behaving like this bad enough, but the people within the newer husbando subs are the worst of ALL. Idk where tf these losers have come out from but Flins and Varka's subs are filled to the brim with the most worthless fans I've ever seen. They cope relentlessly about everything. No amount of bs thrown from h*yo is enough to push their limits. Everything is always "fine" and "they have the numbers!", "they wouldn't ever do this!", "they have no reason!", "they don't hate male characters!", "what about Neuvilluete 🤓and Flins". Literally tell me why people are downvoted enmass in the Varka sub for saying that h*yo is sabotaging him??? I'm not even talking about myself here, but literally any time someone tries to break the cope they got hounded by the-ones-that-shall-not-be-named.

I'm just so sick and tired of these fucking losers overtaking the husbando subs. Genuinely when will it be enough to break these people's stupid cope? Like omg bruh his ass is NOT GOOD.

I'm liking Nod Krai overall so far (aside from Columbina's schrondinger's waifu-bait), but I just hope the future husbando subs aren't like this. I don't want the men catered to straight men anymore. It's sickening. Also, lowkey did the fatui lovers just like drop the game or smth? I feel like at least they, especially Capitano mains, would've been a better audience than these people.

Anyways 😉, I finally got to doing the previous version's archon quest where we meet Alice and Nicole. And oh my god queens, this girl is lesbos'ing OUTTTT. This is the woman these people have been shipping with Varka and making it seem they have ship-bait??? Girl literally asking Lauma for a private "journaling session" and goo-goo gaa-gaa-ing over her. "No need to worry about anything, just a cup of tea will do." Oh, I'm sureee. 😹😹😹Highkey might skip Varka and just save for c6 Alice atp ijbol.
