How to return in them game after long break

Hi fellow Travelers. I've started playing Genshin Impact at around July 2021 and been playing very frequently. I could manage to complete all story quests, events, clean map at 100%, clean abyss and later imaginarium theater. Last update that I played such way was version 4.8 with Simulanka region. I really enjoyed the game, collected all characters I wanted, followed all official content and news about the game.

After Natlan came out, I somewhy became not so interested about the game. I stopped following updates, played less and less frequently. I felt that I force myself to play it. And now I stopped playing it all. Right from the start I was waiting for Snezhnaya region and I want to return, but feel so frustrated that skipped so much limited content, need to complete a lot of quests before new region.

So my question is: Did someone else encountered such? Should I return to the game now? How to avoid frustration and finally enjoy the game?

Just don't.

It's unimportant. A stupid little game.

If you don't enjoy it just forget it ever existed and do something you enjoy with your limited time

>Should I return to the game now?

If you don't return now, you'll miss out on things and then you'll get frustrated again because you miss out on those things.

>How to avoid frustration and finally enjoy the game?

Learn to accept that you cannot get everything. Also only play when you feel like it. I used to have a very bad FOMO especially on characters but down the line I realized I only use the same characters so they're basically rotting in my account and there are banner reruns for when I feel like pulling for them. I also don't play a lot like I used to. Nowadays, when I don't feel like it I don't force myself to play. I pace everything and not rush things.

If you missed out on event stories, YouTube is there if you want to watch. Also wiki.

But it's all about how you can control yourself. No one can tell you that because it's all on you.

I never understand why people make posts like this. Dime a dozen "oH i qUiT tHe gAmE bEcAuSe oF nAtLaN."

TF do you want us to say? Only you can decide for yourself what to do.

Because it adds context and details. Imagine if you ask someone for advice and you don't give them enough details. Maybe you just can't accept that Natlan sucks and it made a lot of players quit (I'm one of them and I returned to try Nod Krai and I liked it).

Natlan did not suck at all. Absolutely Fucking delusional if you think it "flopped"

If you're enjoying the filler mess that is Nod Krai, more power to you

its really ironic how that person hates on nodkrai the same way other people hate on natlan but at the same time denies that people legitimately hate on natlan. lmao

Just play the game

i take breaks in pretty much every patch cycle. not a big deal. after you come back, most of the characters wich you missed, are not important for the meta anymore. just get the new characters

The door is that way, kindly shut the door when you leave.

Treat it as a fresh adventure, take your time and enjoy the story mode.

Dont get pressured by trying to stay in meta. Play your favourite characters.

Progress feels slow at first but eventually you will be able to catch up.

If you're not enjoying it, just quit playing it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

If you feel like you don't enjoy it because of Natlan then idk, just give it a chance and play to the latest AQ. If you still don't enjoy it, then it's time to quit playing it.

Because you posting this? makes me think that you want us to change how you feel about the game. Just play the game and see if recent quests and upcoming quests and content excite you.

Bro just play the game if you want, no need to over complicate things.

It's a video game ffs

Take a looooong break and play other games you might enjoy right now, I personally played Elden ring for 660 hours in the past and finished it, you can say I played it three times as I started a new game on the same save, also helped my sister and father play it and my sister finished it with me helping her every time she played, I also played tomb raider games as they’re my favorite for exploration especially rise, I play warframe to grind and do stuff with people, I occasionally play apex legends or marvel rivals if I want something intense and competitive for fun, so what I suggest is finding games of different genres, ones to chill and others to have fun and excitement, having different types of games ensures you don’t get bored and can suit your current moods and energy, Elden ring night reign is a mix of both chilling and fun for me, you might enjoy it if you’re into such games.

When you feel like coming back to the game then do it, if you just want primogems and don’t want to play it yet you can convert resin to condensed resin and claim primogems, spend resin when it stacks every other day and repeat the cycle.
