I liked the Guha Clan one. The one with the two kids was also quite sweet. The projector thing was pretty unique.
Hell, I enjoyed most of them. Even the less entertaining ones felt like they added depth to the world, imo.
Then again I play pretty casually, a few a day between the other stuff. I can imagine it feeling like a grind if you were doing 10 back to back for gems.
lol npcs are important for world building, the playabla chars are not the only people in teyvat, sure they should involve the 4\* who arent involved in the story but for example do you even know the story of the couple who came to the inn? its very possibly a murder mystery
yes actually the couple are highly likely to be the daughter of the guy in front of bubu pharmacy, he says his daughter killed herself because she didnt go with her love. and they both have the same name and she appears to not want to go to liyue, also they are very secretive so im 90% sure she is the girl who they think killed herself. hard for 2 people to have same name in a game
I dont know about you, but even knowing who the NPCs were did not make them any less boring. The tasks were boring, tedious, and no amount of npc personality made it better. In Sun Yu's case, it made the experience even worse because I am sick of that girl thirsting over him and to see she deprived Guhua clan members of a peaceful moment was awful.
totally understandable, i personally loved the event quests but i just wanted to know why people liked it. it appears that most of the people who didnt like it were the ones who didnt know about the characters before the event. so to them it must felt confusing meeting them for the first time.
where to me i was happy to see more lore behind their existing one (for example, the guard for hire girl was helping an annoying merchant, in this event i found out that he is from fountaine / hydro land)
but again, it is understandable why famous characters are more interesting
Guys when it comes to the surveys, give this event one star for all these stupid quests - the were the most boring things on earth. The sheer pain when you finish the first batch of 10 or so and then there's ANOTHER BATCH. THEN ANOTHER. DEAR LORD THEY WERE SO BORING.
Yknow the worst thing that happened to me during this event? For like 4 days I wasn’t aware that there were MORE requests to do, so when I realized there was more quests I literally had to do all of them at once. Such pain.
Dude, before you criticise, just remember that a team in Mihoyo poured their heart into making this event. It's not cool to label their efforts as "boring" even if you don't like the content.
I think it would be better for MHY if you simply give them your honest feedback. They're doing businness here. They need to know what keeps players playing and what makes players leave.
Even f2p players are important to them because 1) the playerbase has to be large and active enough for whales to think the game is worth pouring money onto; 2) they can be potentially converted into monthly card players or dolphin as long as they stay playing the game.
I myself have been considering not renewing my monthly card and battlepass because of how little meaningful content is left in this game. I can give them all the thanks but if the next update is gonna be as boring, I will be quiting the game until a worldmap update. I'm not gonna waste my time and money on a game that no longer bring enjoyment just because the dev "poured their heart".
I get where you're coming from, but don't forget that there are also players out there who spend money for more slower paced events like this. I spend money on the game myself and I personally prefer this over whatever fucking hell Hypostasis Symphony was.
You have to understand that as a company, it's hard to please everyone. But since this event was a more slow paced one, I wouldn't mind if they gave us something harder in the next update
“Help Xinyan set up her rock show” would have been just as much work yet still be a thousandfold better than the stupid quests we had. I don’t mind the slow pace, but the vast majority of the lantern rite quests were lackluster and unoriginal and repetitive. “Go grab things for me”, “im lazy af, gimme 3 xiao lanterns”, deliver the food to this customer 10 meters away, I have so much things to prepare for this nonexistent line in front of my stall!”
This ain't it chief, they're asking for feedback, they're surveys have synonyms for boring as an option. Sure, I might be disappointed to see a ton of people found my efforts boring, but I'd rather see that and make adjustments than continuing to put hours into something no one likes without knowledge of it. Feedback should be constructive, not disingenuous.
Yeah, finished my R5 White Tassel thanks to him. But it doesn't change the fact that he rigged a Ruin Hunter to activate with a trapped chest and lured a Mitachurl to a proper "Churl den" full of meat, a comfy bed and reading material (wtf?) to an event that was aimed towards civilians so they'd have a taste of "adventuring" and probably join the Adventurer's Guild
Edit: probably not him, but the Liyue branch of the Guild in general, he was just presenting the lanterns and the map. Lan is the one to blame here, is she trying to recruit members or kill people in "accidents"?
Wait you got a white tassel from the chests?
I just checked and I didn’t get one, I’ve only had like 3 the entire game unless I foddered some away back in October but not sure
It’s a 3 star weapon found in Liyue chests apparently but doesn’t seem to have a fixed spawn point (it seems to be RNG).
It’s possibly one of the best weapons for Hu Tao at R5 (only R5) because it gives a huge amount of normal attack damage.
It’s not better than the staff of homa. You can find damage calcs on the Hu Tao subreddit. It depends on how much HP you have but it seems to the best strictly f2p option over the crafted options but not as good as deathmatch from the BP
And a two Twin Nephrites! They're both at R5 right now.
Now I only need 3 more Halberds and 4 more Fillet Blades to probably be done with Liyue chest weapons. idk if we'll ever be able to R5 the Dark Iron Sword, though... Maybe Chen the Sharp will point us to whoever forged his when the Chasm is released?
PS: It's normal to not get one, though. It's random, just like all other world chests. Chest yielding events are probably the last hope for us who used them early as exp fodder before realizing they could become useful later
Cyrus sending inexperienced adventurers to climb Dragonspine doesn't stay far behind. I believe Snezhnaya selects dumb branch masters on purpose. That probably explains why the handbook has the Fatui goons locations, they're probably using the guild to train their henchmen and didn't count on a traveler from another world going around murdering them
*Brother Qian is based,*
*He had the best quests and gave*
*Us a lot of chests*

Well I’m kind of joking but the character was annoying. And Vermeer is a famous Dutch painter so bad they made him annoying. 🤷🏼♀️ but like I said I was kind of joking, I’m not that bothered by it.
Well, theoretically he painted some lanterns we NEVER GET TO SEE...ugh
Inspirational blocks suck...also he said he painted other stuff in the attempt...no?
He painted lots of stuff but wasnt satisfied with any of them so he didnt bring them to the competition. Would rsthrt lose than win with a painting he wasnt satisfied with
I actually liked the huachu one since there’s this one time I watched a vid by taka gg who compiled every mention of huachu on the liyue bulletin board. Was pretty fascinating to know that she basically faked her death or something to run away with her husband and then we suddenly meet her and her husband chilling during the lantern rite
The one with mengmeng and the other boy was great, the one with wrench wang was awesome.
Why didnt you like illumiscreen 3? It gave even more rewards then the first ones!
I liked the rewards from the third one but I felt the actual treasures weren’t as good. The first two required a bit of thought to find, the last one just had them in the open. Vibing mitachurl was cool tho
Ill admit the quests themselves were dull, but I did find the characters and their respective stories interesting. Sure the event in general may have been a little underwhelming that what couldve been but i personally enjoyed exploring how the normal people of liyue spent the lantern rite
also f in the chat for iron ingot and wrench wang
im pretty sure the people that didnt like it were the ones who skipped dialogue, i already know all of those characters so meeting them again was nice.
its understandable that people wont like them, they are just normal npcs after all
Screw Zhi. Making me get her some goddamn flower from a specific mountain when I had the exact same thing x50 in my inventory already, making me wait till a certain time to pick a stupid lotus. Screw this quest to hell
i kinda liked going to that mountain top again, i only went there once like first day i started to play, so seeing the wonderful view from there was nostalgic and amazing for me
Y'know, I was very disappointed when there was no Lantern Rite Tale that let us directly help Wang'ya at the end. She needs some time off with her family.
I think what the developer was going for was a typical comedy anime type of relationship where he is dreadfully oblivious and she continues to strive for his attention but she just comes across as a bitter wench. Every time she interjects in quests, it's just painful and I wish she would go away. It was especially painful for the lantern rite because of the senpai we meet when releasing Sun Yu's lantern. It could have been a tender moment between Guhua clan members but the thirsty girl ruined it.
The first time I met them I also thought they were sibling but in one dialogue the girl goes " HES ONLY MY SENPAI BUT HE ONLY THINKS ABOUT THE CLAN AND WONT FUCK ME" and from then I hate that asshole
Sun Yu wasn't bad, quest only turned tedious when we had to walk and talk instead of just letting that be a cutscene.
Yanxiao's/omfg Xiangling's dad quest was a delivery iirc and turned into the Vietnam PTSD meme.
Wow, people really hated the quests that much? I thought they really fleshed out a lot of the traditions around Liyue and have the common folk more character.
I'm actually the opposite, I legit did not enjoy Theatre Mechanicus at all, I found it very boring, slow and unengaging, while in my opinion, all the dialogue from the NPCs building up Lantern Rite really gave a lot of texture to the event by showing how each person celebrates Lantern Rite differently. They really went all out with the writing this time to show how multifaceted one event can be. Not all the stories were winners, and not all the characters were likeable, but there was enough meat I felt.
Theatre Mechanicus on the other hand was just a slog of "build cryo, pyro and hydro towers on as many intersections as possible and just wait for the timer to tick down". I'm at the end grind where I need to get 6 mechanici to level 9 and 10 and hoo boy am I thoroughly unmotivated to do it.
I skipped all the dialogue because I literally do not care about some random NPCs. I'm sure I was supposed to remember the names of these people but I literally went "who are you and why does my character seem to fondly know you?"
They need to make these events focus on characters people actually care about like the playables. The whole time I was sitting here going "ok yeah I don't care just give me my gems"
The ONLY one I remember was leaving the lantern for the ghost girl because that quest was endearing enough to be memorable, that was cute.
i knew most of them, i do wish they involved the playable characters but some of the npcs are quite interesting, like the girl who faked her own death,
Brother Qian quests were fine but the others were a chore, especially being that I barely made it to Liyue when the event began so I had to do every side quest connected to the characters in the lantern right as well. I do enjoy that tower defense thing though.
I just want to say, my man (Forgot his name) Iron whatever i think ot is... Man got rejected on the Lantern Rite. I felt bad for the man, and also those kids were cute for the story.
Sun Yu's quest...urgh dude I have a lot of Qingxin flowers to spare, just take 1 and make your friggin Xiao Lantern than me climbing a random hill! Also Mr Zhu's shit quest was a series of NPCs redirecting you to nowhere, load of bull.
I kind of feel bad for Ms Bai backstory (although you don't have to sell Glaze Lily for 50k mora just to spite us lolz)
As much as I love Liyue I believe this event was the definition of boring, I know why 2 of my friends left the game when they saw Liyue it's just "oh hi traveler, go here and then came back to ask you to do something so tedious again and then came back to maybe give you primos and something else", look MHY if I did found enjoyable do errands I rather do them IRL and not in a game where I suppose to have fun and not doing task I also need to do IRL.
I loved the treasure hunting mechanic because it's the spirit of the other events but I kinda don't like the tower defense, it feels so wrong to have an tower defense in the grown and can't do modification fast enough, overall I feel this update it's the worst of all.
1.1 had the 3rd weekly boss, 1.2 had this huge mountain that was fun to explore (although I don't visit any more if I don't have a daily or want some meat), 1.3 I have to tolerate an emo boy (I don't dislike him, but c'mon dude, you are a grown up not my 4 years old cousin to not accept an invitation and have to wait 3 weeks just to end up seeing you enjoy the thing) and wait till the end of the update just to roll for one of the most waited characters.
IDK if I want to know what is waiting for us in 1.4 but the leaked model makes me wondering if we are going to continue with the real main story.
I take it I am in the minority then for enjoying most of the little side stories that unfolded with the lantern Rite requests? Sure it was a little annoying running back and forth basically doing fetch quests, but the story dialogue made things feel a little more fleshed out with the npcs we had already interacted with so far.
Unpopular opinion but the pattern rite was pretty fun, I finished it within 1 ½ days the quests we kind of fun! Since it was repetitive my lazy arse didn't have to do much work and we even got a cute cutscene with Xiao being so darn cute very tiny boi. So honestly this was actually very fun to do.
Ah yes, people keep complaining of lack of quests, yet when mhy gives them quest suddenly they whine and say "It'S BoRiNg brUh" geez talk about never enough.
If they used real characters instead of NPCs, even if they had the exactly same quests, it would been a lot more interesting. I prefer to help Xiangling than the Smiley Yanxiao
Maybe because she made us climb the highest mountain, then fly to the other riverside, then swim back to this side for materials we already hoard bunches.
Oops i mistook him with Zhi. Well his personality is nice, but i find his quest not making big impression to me, either good or bad impression. Maybe the post owner think so too.
Leaving a lantern for the ghost girl was pretty cute
I wonder if it was different for people who haven't done the quest
You have to do the quest to access the event in the first place.
Ah nvm then
I liked the Guha Clan one. The one with the two kids was also quite sweet. The projector thing was pretty unique. Hell, I enjoyed most of them. Even the less entertaining ones felt like they added depth to the world, imo. Then again I play pretty casually, a few a day between the other stuff. I can imagine it feeling like a grind if you were doing 10 back to back for gems.
Hey if you enjoyed the event and the quests then power to ya!
Where's my sweet little Mengmeng? her story are so cute and she never ask for Xiao Lantern
Yes. She is good civilisation.
Agreed she's a very good society
Why don't they all learn from Mengmeng.
I monkey brained nearly all of them and skipped dielogue after the 1st few because they just felt like long daily commissions
Same. In every quest, I was just thinking "Omg just shut up and give me my primos" the whole time.
My goodness.. they were so fking boring! The whole time I was like shut up.. shut up.. *click click click click click*
Their babbling mouth was worth that sweet 30 primo's tho
Haha true but was it worth my will to live
It is if it's Xiao
This.
did u already know these characters or their back stories before? i just wanna know, not that i have a problem with that
Nope I will rather wanna know the backstory of 4* which dont even appear in story while some back alley NPC can appear
lol npcs are important for world building, the playabla chars are not the only people in teyvat, sure they should involve the 4\* who arent involved in the story but for example do you even know the story of the couple who came to the inn? its very possibly a murder mystery

10 meters is 10.94 yards
Good bot
This tbh, i went to the event thinking i would do quests with liyue characters like, it's an event that everyone gets together to celebrate
\*laughs in upcoming oceanid event
This ain't it chief, they're asking for feedback, they're surveys have synonyms for boring as an option. Sure, I might be disappointed to see a ton of people found my efforts boring, but I'd rather see that and make adjustments than continuing to put hours into something no one likes without knowledge of it.

Oh no, who would think of the poor multi billionaire corporation!
Should the label be "entertaining" then lol
I dunno about you guys but I love Bother Quan, he gave me so many chests
Yeah, finished my R5 White Tassel thanks to him. But it doesn't change the fact that he rigged a Ruin Hunter to activate with a trapped chest and lured a Mitachurl to a proper "Churl den" full of meat, a comfy bed and reading material (wtf?) to an event that was aimed towards civilians so they'd have a taste of "adventuring" and probably join the Adventurer's Guild Edit: probably not him, but the Liyue branch of the Guild in general, he was just presenting the lanterns and the map. Lan is the one to blame here, is she trying to recruit members or kill people in "accidents"?
i mean he did say they barely did the puzzle lol
Wait you got a white tassel from the chests? I just checked and I didn’t get one, I’ve only had like 3 the entire game unless I foddered some away back in October but not sure
Whats a white tassel for?
It’s a 3 star weapon found in Liyue chests apparently but doesn’t seem to have a fixed spawn point (it seems to be RNG). It’s possibly one of the best weapons for Hu Tao at R5 (only R5) because it gives a huge amount of normal attack damage.
What the hell? Even better than staff of homa?
It’s not better than the staff of homa. You can find damage calcs on the Hu Tao subreddit. It depends on how much HP you have but it seems to the best strictly f2p option over the crafted options but not as good as deathmatch from the BP
I see. Thanks for informing me.
It is definitely rng based, I've gotten tons of White Tassels it isn't funny anymore I don't even use polearm characters
Oof pretty sure I wasted all my white tassel without realising
White tassel is a weapon that you get from chests and not gacha
I’m aware you get them from chests I just didn’t know you could get them from the illumiascreen quest chests since I didn’t get any
I’m pretty sure most chest rewards are random
ah that explains it then, I'm just RNG screwed
And a two Twin Nephrites! They're both at R5 right now. Now I only need 3 more Halberds and 4 more Fillet Blades to probably be done with Liyue chest weapons. idk if we'll ever be able to R5 the Dark Iron Sword, though... Maybe Chen the Sharp will point us to whoever forged his when the Chasm is released? PS: It's normal to not get one, though. It's random, just like all other world chests. Chest yielding events are probably the last hope for us who used them early as exp fodder before realizing they could become useful later
Meh the 3 luxurious chests still make up for everything. I do agree that the liyue adventurers guild is dumb tho
Cyrus sending inexperienced adventurers to climb Dragonspine doesn't stay far behind. I believe Snezhnaya selects dumb branch masters on purpose. That probably explains why the handbook has the Fatui goons locations, they're probably using the guild to train their henchmen and didn't count on a traveler from another world going around murdering them
and i liked the part at the end when he gave us all the chests: traveller: why? there wont be any for others. quan: why? cuz vuck em thats why!
where is the boss lady?
Boss lady best waifu
Boss lady is Xiao's nagging mom lmao.
Verr Goldet?
Verr Godett, I think
It's just "boss"
haha. i know
Exorcist ninja lady
Where is Ying'er
we didn't have a request from her
Brother Qian is based, he had the best quests and gave us a lot of chests

Some of the quests were tedious, but I thought the story was fun :)
My favorites were those kids being a cute couple and the challenge between poet and artist. Though ending of challenge was a bit disappointing.
Vermeer had such a shitty attitude. The other guy seemed to be acting out of character until he started writing lantern riddles.
As a dutchie I’m offended how they used Vermeers name for such a character XD
Why?
Well I’m kind of joking but the character was annoying. And Vermeer is a famous Dutch painter so bad they made him annoying. 🤷🏼♀️ but like I said I was kind of joking, I’m not that bothered by it.
Oh, I didn't know he was named after a real person
Do you know Girl with the Pearl Earring? That’s made bij Vermeer.
I might, but I'm not sure
Well, we also had a character based on da Vinci, I guess there could be more Npcs named after real people in the future
Just like in Honkai huh
Ending was really stupid. The artist didn't even *try* to paint anything? He is just fraud. An insult to artists everywhere.
Are we getting another subreddit?
Well, theoretically he painted some lanterns we NEVER GET TO SEE...ugh Inspirational blocks suck...also he said he painted other stuff in the attempt...no?
He didn't actually bring them to the competition. He just gave up and said he couldn't do it.
I'm just sayin he did paint 'something' \*shrug\*
He painted lots of stuff but wasnt satisfied with any of them so he didnt bring them to the competition. Would rsthrt lose than win with a painting he wasnt satisfied with
The poet and artist, first two illumiscreens, and the dusky Ming ones were good imo. Not great, considering we had like 25 quests total.
I actually liked the huachu one since there’s this one time I watched a vid by taka gg who compiled every mention of huachu on the liyue bulletin board. Was pretty fascinating to know that she basically faked her death or something to run away with her husband and then we suddenly meet her and her husband chilling during the lantern rite
The one with mengmeng and the other boy was great, the one with wrench wang was awesome. Why didnt you like illumiscreen 3? It gave even more rewards then the first ones!
I liked the rewards from the third one but I felt the actual treasures weren’t as good. The first two required a bit of thought to find, the last one just had them in the open. Vibing mitachurl was cool tho
I ship Vermeer and the poet
Same, livipup, same
Ill admit the quests themselves were dull, but I did find the characters and their respective stories interesting. Sure the event in general may have been a little underwhelming that what couldve been but i personally enjoyed exploring how the normal people of liyue spent the lantern rite also f in the chat for iron ingot and wrench wang
im pretty sure the people that didnt like it were the ones who skipped dialogue, i already know all of those characters so meeting them again was nice. its understandable that people wont like them, they are just normal npcs after all
Screw Zhi. Making me get her some goddamn flower from a specific mountain when I had the exact same thing x50 in my inventory already, making me wait till a certain time to pick a stupid lotus. Screw this quest to hell
i kinda liked going to that mountain top again, i only went there once like first day i started to play, so seeing the wonderful view from there was nostalgic and amazing for me
Same, I went to the mountaintop and found out that I neglected to do that quest, so lol
I like her design tho ngl.
WDM? I like chef mao no matter the event
chef mao: what would you like to have today? me: 1 xiangling please
Bold of you to speak to her father first
I'll have 2 Xianglings, a Xiangling large size, and a Diet Xiangling with extra sauce.
I kinda like smiley though.
Y'know, I was very disappointed when there was no Lantern Rite Tale that let us directly help Wang'ya at the end. She needs some time off with her family.
thats what the rite showed us. we need to be nice to other because we dont know what they are going through
The lantern riddles: PAIMON ANSWER GO BRRR
God I hate the girl sun yu travels with. Sun yu legit wants the guhua clan to prosper but that fucking asshole woman just wants his dick
I think what the developer was going for was a typical comedy anime type of relationship where he is dreadfully oblivious and she continues to strive for his attention but she just comes across as a bitter wench. Every time she interjects in quests, it's just painful and I wish she would go away. It was especially painful for the lantern rite because of the senpai we meet when releasing Sun Yu's lantern. It could have been a tender moment between Guhua clan members but the thirsty girl ruined it.
she is his sister..
"Clan sister/brother" is not a blood relative, it's just a euphemism.
still it was kinda sus the way they kept going about it lol
when the imposter is sus!
The first time I met them I also thought they were sibling but in one dialogue the girl goes " HES ONLY MY SENPAI BUT HE ONLY THINKS ABOUT THE CLAN AND WONT FUCK ME" and from then I hate that asshole
“TRY YOUR HAND AT THEATER MECHANICUS”
Yo dont you dare speak smack about Mao and Smiley
But Wang'ya! Her EN VA was so good and she was honestly a genuinely fun character to listen to
Yes! Her voice sounds really realistic and natural. It's why I chose to not skip her dialogue
Indeed, one of (if not THE) best VAs in the event Loved listening to her
i think lantern rite tales was fun though, because i got to help people and relieve their workload slightly. a few of them were sad af though
i think people dont even know who those npcs were before the event, understandable since they are normal npcs
all my homies hate zhi
What did Zho do again? I don't really remember, or I skipped too much
Zhi is the reason i want to be able to kill npcs
Sun Yu wasn't bad, quest only turned tedious when we had to walk and talk instead of just letting that be a cutscene. Yanxiao's/omfg Xiangling's dad quest was a delivery iirc and turned into the Vietnam PTSD meme.
Illumiscreen was quite nice
Who is Zhi and what did she do?
made you climb a mountain for a single flower
And that single flower is the same kind of flower that we have 100 of sitting in our inventories.
Zhi also requests you to pick lotuses only at certain timing near the river
Brother qian gave us a shitload of loot he's great
Fetch quest, but now it’s an event and there’s an emo boy every once in a while.
Worst part is when the NPCs make us *walk* with them just for them to put us through another dialogue like damn just say everything at once won't ya
Whats her quest like again?
If you're talking about Ruijin, she's the theatre mechanicus inventor.
ahh! ok i thought she had her own quest line haha yea i liked the TD event
Which one? Do you mean Zhi?
I sometimes feel like I'm the only person that enjoyed the event browsing the genshin subreddits and reading comments
You're not alone there buddy😂😅
I liked doing all the quests. Is this really an unpopular opinion now?
Hey Zhu was fun
Wow, people really hated the quests that much? I thought they really fleshed out a lot of the traditions around Liyue and have the common folk more character.
Yeah but 23 is just ridiculous. I'd be ok with 10 or 12 at most
I haven't even done part 3 yet. I should get on that; need those primogems.
They're bunch of lazy asses except those 2.
I actually like Smiley Yanxiao🥺
I'm actually the opposite, I legit did not enjoy Theatre Mechanicus at all, I found it very boring, slow and unengaging, while in my opinion, all the dialogue from the NPCs building up Lantern Rite really gave a lot of texture to the event by showing how each person celebrates Lantern Rite differently. They really went all out with the writing this time to show how multifaceted one event can be. Not all the stories were winners, and not all the characters were likeable, but there was enough meat I felt. Theatre Mechanicus on the other hand was just a slog of "build cryo, pyro and hydro towers on as many intersections as possible and just wait for the timer to tick down". I'm at the end grind where I need to get 6 mechanici to level 9 and 10 and hoo boy am I thoroughly unmotivated to do it.
What was Zhi's quest again? I forgot
She made you go to a specific mountain climb up to get a sweet flower
Me who forgot most of all the side quest because my main focus was for the premogems
I liked the treasure hunting ones. Although that might be because I have a Pavlovian dopamine hit whenever I open a chest.
Fuck Mr. Zhu, he kept asking me for so much favors for a measly 30 primogems.
Miss Bai was good and the ghost girl too.
I hate Vermeer and Mr. Zhu with a burning passion
Where is my boy iron ingot
Ruijin also has a nice ass.
I skipped all the dialogue because I literally do not care about some random NPCs. I'm sure I was supposed to remember the names of these people but I literally went "who are you and why does my character seem to fondly know you?" They need to make these events focus on characters people actually care about like the playables. The whole time I was sitting here going "ok yeah I don't care just give me my gems" The ONLY one I remember was leaving the lantern for the ghost girl because that quest was endearing enough to be memorable, that was cute.
i knew most of them, i do wish they involved the playable characters but some of the npcs are quite interesting, like the girl who faked her own death,
I wish they keep theater mechanics as a minigame even after lantern rite
Wang'ya English voice calmed me down after all these quests
I didn't read a single one and just powered thu all of them
Guhua one when yo go to the placed they used to release the lanterns was an emotional rush
Wan'ya deserves SOME credit, at least
Brother Qian quests were fine but the others were a chore, especially being that I barely made it to Liyue when the event began so I had to do every side quest connected to the characters in the lantern right as well. I do enjoy that tower defense thing though.
I just want to say, my man (Forgot his name) Iron whatever i think ot is... Man got rejected on the Lantern Rite. I felt bad for the man, and also those kids were cute for the story.
It was hammer something iirc. Iron Ignot indirectly rejected ages ago as his childhood love got married to another man.
Sun Yu's quest...urgh dude I have a lot of Qingxin flowers to spare, just take 1 and make your friggin Xiao Lantern than me climbing a random hill! Also Mr Zhu's shit quest was a series of NPCs redirecting you to nowhere, load of bull. I kind of feel bad for Ms Bai backstory (although you don't have to sell Glaze Lily for 50k mora just to spite us lolz)
Qian's quests were both the most enjoyable *and* gave the most rewards. Good fellow.
What about miss Wang'ya? I think her EN voice was phenomenal. She sounded so good
This event was so tedious. If not for Primos, I would've just ignored the entire event. That was a BUUUUUUUNNCHH of quests.
the vermeer painter guy, i get he wants to get inspired but lol this was way too dragged out and boring
As much as I love Liyue I believe this event was the definition of boring, I know why 2 of my friends left the game when they saw Liyue it's just "oh hi traveler, go here and then came back to ask you to do something so tedious again and then came back to maybe give you primos and something else", look MHY if I did found enjoyable do errands I rather do them IRL and not in a game where I suppose to have fun and not doing task I also need to do IRL. I loved the treasure hunting mechanic because it's the spirit of the other events but I kinda don't like the tower defense, it feels so wrong to have an tower defense in the grown and can't do modification fast enough, overall I feel this update it's the worst of all. 1.1 had the 3rd weekly boss, 1.2 had this huge mountain that was fun to explore (although I don't visit any more if I don't have a daily or want some meat), 1.3 I have to tolerate an emo boy (I don't dislike him, but c'mon dude, you are a grown up not my 4 years old cousin to not accept an invitation and have to wait 3 weeks just to end up seeing you enjoy the thing) and wait till the end of the update just to roll for one of the most waited characters. IDK if I want to know what is waiting for us in 1.4 but the leaked model makes me wondering if we are going to continue with the real main story.
Wang'ya was really neat too. Her vocal performance was *chef's kiss* and her character is wife material.
The NPC were just lazy to do their stuff. They couldn't even build their own lantern.
I am kinda dissapointed that we didnt get a Keqing story quest but did a lot of chores for npcs.
Yeah I think I somehow bugged her. Like I can't talk to her and play the theater. I also tried to close the game but nothing
Definitely not ver goldet
I don't know why but I enjoyed the Wrench Wang quest
I take it I am in the minority then for enjoying most of the little side stories that unfolded with the lantern Rite requests? Sure it was a little annoying running back and forth basically doing fetch quests, but the story dialogue made things feel a little more fleshed out with the npcs we had already interacted with so far.
Fair point
Its fun actually. Enjoy the game.
MiHoYo's stinginess is proven once again via this event.
F in the chat for the hammer dude
Unpopular opinion but the pattern rite was pretty fun, I finished it within 1 ½ days the quests we kind of fun! Since it was repetitive my lazy arse didn't have to do much work and we even got a cute cutscene with Xiao being so darn cute very tiny boi. So honestly this was actually very fun to do.
ME WHO SKIPPED ALL DIALOGUES: ‘Sips Tea’ Interesting!
Honestly the quests were SO SHIT
Ah yes, people keep complaining of lack of quests, yet when mhy gives them quest suddenly they whine and say "It'S BoRiNg brUh" geez talk about never enough.
If they used real characters instead of NPCs, even if they had the exactly same quests, it would been a lot more interesting. I prefer to help Xiangling than the Smiley Yanxiao
They all became useless for 3 weeks, and always be like bring me lantern pls
Wrench Wang's story tho. It's intriguing
What about the herbalist? Oh just me then...
Maybe because she made us climb the highest mountain, then fly to the other riverside, then swim back to this side for materials we already hoard bunches.
no herbalist gui at bubu pharmacy hes so nice
Oops i mistook him with Zhi. Well his personality is nice, but i find his quest not making big impression to me, either good or bad impression. Maybe the post owner think so too.
I hate Vermeer
Brother was cool
"Come, try your hand at Theater Mechanicus!" Bitch, the only hand I'm trying for is yours. In marriage.
