You can claim his boss mats even if you did 3 weekly boss runs before the update. You can claim all the weekly boss' rewards, it's just the first three costs 30 resin instead of 60.
gxxncxrlo2026-01-10 21:14
This mf doesn’t even deserve 1 resin >!jk i forgor!<
Hojuma2026-01-11 05:37
That's kinda contradicting your post. lol
I get what you mean though.
esztersunday2026-01-10 21:15
You are right! I completely forgot! In some other games you can only do 3/week. Thanks!
xomowod2026-01-10 21:45
In zzz you can toggle a thing that lets you keep farming, you just need to spend battery for each clear after using your weekly limit
dave_the_dova2026-01-10 22:21
Zzz has by far the best weekly boss mat system. First 3 are free then only 60 energy to repeat infinitely.
MagnusBaechus2026-01-10 22:25
real, and even then we get monthly resets of selectors so if you're THAT drive disc pilled you can just save those
DDSNIPERDD2026-01-10 22:36
Oh my god I've been bottlenecking my building of characters I thought it was a limit of 3 😭
OnnaJReverT2026-01-10 23:22
used to work that way until 1.4 or so
sucked ass because it takes like 9 to fully build a character
SpellOpening78522026-01-10 23:37
Its still a lot better than Genshin at least, and you can also outright get 4 of any mat/month too.
HSR has a strict timer, but gives enough for a maxed character with just 4 bosses (3/week), and then there's Genshin, where you can spend resin to do every boss once a week... and need 100+ weeks of doing that if you ever want enough to build everyone.
soaringneutrality2026-01-11 07:32
There's no reason to spend Battery on them aside from wanting to do it quicker. You'll get more than you need over time.
Kingpimpy2026-01-10 22:49
dont forget the shiyu shop dipshit selling more of those too every month
especially nice once a new boss drops in that month
ze_SAFTmon2026-01-11 01:24
It also comes at diminished side rewards.
The 3 free tries you get weekly also yield a chance for a WEngine puzzle piece thingy which has finally gotten a good use.
(For those not in the know: 60 of those can be traded into a currency that allows to purchase a standard or one of 3 currently chosen limited WEngines if you get 4 of that currency)
kirillre42026-01-10 22:53
That's a new system (I think it was added either in the current or previous update), but it's definitely the way to go for weekly bosses.
xomowod2026-01-10 23:07
No it’s been like that at least since around harumasas release. Source: been playing since then and it’s always let you spent battery for weekly drops
Chucknasty_172026-01-10 22:54
Also the bosses only drop on of the boss mats regardless of difficulty, so if that’s all you want, you can set it to the lowest difficulty and fly through the fight itself
phoniz2026-01-11 07:51
How did I not know this until now, I’ve wasted so much time
xomowod2026-01-11 08:53
I don’t remember them ever explaining it granted I skip most of those pop ups but if I didn’t learn by pushing da buttun I wouldn’t know either
phoniz2026-01-11 09:12
I don’t recall a pop up either, and I read them. Might be because I assumed it worked like HSR and Genshin.
PusheenMaster2026-01-10 21:58
It's fine, those other games sell 30$ packs in the shop with those boss mats when a new character comes out that requires the new materials 😁😁
Fuu-nyon2026-01-10 22:27
I think those other games includes HSR, but fortunately they haven't gone *that* far just yet.
PusheenMaster2026-01-10 22:44
HSR doesn't release a new boss material at the same time as a new character the needs those materials. You always have one entire patch in advance to farm the new boss until a character that needs them comes out.
StrongSquirrelKnight2026-01-10 22:54
And you can fight the same boss multiple times a week.
NA_0_10_never_forget2026-01-10 22:14

Gentlemanor2026-01-11 22:53
It's been like this since forever, only the 30 resin discount was added a few patches later from launch
Rachel15782026-01-11 23:56
Plus! They added a first time bonus! So you get one of each material after your first regular clear.
Krio_dim2026-01-10 21:13
imagine if we could farm weekly bosses more than one time per week...
gxxncxrlo2026-01-10 21:15
They will implement that in 7.0 so it _feels_ like they’re listening to players’ feedback.
Lazy-Traffic53462026-01-10 21:37
They always doing things slower than others for some reason
gxxncxrlo2026-01-10 21:46
They’re dripfeeding it lol. If they drop sensible QOL updates all at once (which they can 100% do), they only get praised once, whereas if they space it out every few patches, it seems like they’re continuously doing something for the playerbase. Goodwill is fleeting.
Yotsubrain2026-01-11 01:51
Imagine the outrage when a leaker says "yeah this list of QoL was meant to appear, but higher ups don't want it implemented yet"
Gorgo_yak2026-01-10 22:15
Yeah... I'd kill him everyday.
suki-suki-desu2026-01-10 22:20
They should make it like zzz
That’s peak
reddit_serf2026-01-10 23:53
I can't believe after FIVE years we still only con do each weekly domain once a week.
PostHasBeenWatched2026-01-10 21:17
Don't worry if you use them, you still can fight him, it's just claim price will be non-discount (60).
eklatea2026-01-10 23:14
paying 60 resin for a weekly boss kinda hurts me tho
PostHasBeenWatched2026-01-10 23:16
Day 1 players remembers when weekly boss fights were non-discounted
Bluecoregamming2026-01-10 23:19
i spent 60 resin so many times on the old bosses like childe years ago and I've still never ran out of those drops. A bit of a waste true, but at least the gems and billets are nice
eklatea2026-01-10 23:21
yeah the drops are nice, I do wish I could run more than three a week but I am just broke in every way 😵💫 I'm glad they added the discounted prices after launch

m2gus2026-01-10 21:28
I'm genuinely curious what's with the vitriolic hate towards the Doctor? Don't get me wrong, he's done bad things, I get disliking him, he’s written to be repulsive, but the intensity still feels a bit disproportionate to me. It’s like people react to him less as a fictional villain and more like he’s a real person who personally wronged them. That kind of emotional projection is just… odd to watch from the outside lol
LostAllBets2026-01-10 21:34
People hate villains. More news at 11.
m2gus2026-01-10 21:44
Groundbreaking analysis, thanks. My point is about people taking fiction personally. Hating villains is standard, but usually the fanbase keeps that energy in-universe. With him, it feels like people blur the lines.
Ewizde2026-01-10 21:52
People have this weird parasocial relationship with Genshin characters, and it sometimes reaches the point of obsession.
I honestly don't understand what makes Genshin characters so great that many people consider them to be real?(idk how else to explain), like they treat them as if they're friends/people they hate irl. I've obviously seen this phenomenon in other fandoms but I've never seen it be as common as in the hoyo fandoms.
pls_make_me_smart2026-01-10 21:59
It is bcs well hoyo gives us time and also enough content to actually connect to the villains I like about their games that most if not all stories are written in such a way that you can actually very much feel that you live in teyvat as one of the characters
Ewizde2026-01-10 22:01
I can't say I agree with that ngl, I don't consider Genshin character writing to be one of its strong points but I can respect that opinion.
However, it still does not explain why this is so common in Genshin, there are many other pieces of fiction that let you connect to the characters but how come this community gets so toxic about them ?
Scared_Gene_99592026-01-10 22:18
I don’t think that many people blur the lines, I think we’re just passionate about the game. Like why pay attention to a story you’re not gonna be emotionally connected to. It’s the same with any source of media. Tv shows, k drama etc. People discuss characters they love and hate as if they’re real people but they’re just characters in a script. But then that’s what makes it fun, why consume media if you’re not gonna be invested yk? Most people that hate dottore don’t acc lose sleep over it and scratch their heads 24/7 like you’re making it seem, it’s just we have an exaggerated way of talking about him that’s all. 99% of people don’t see him as a real person. The other 1% have problems but like yeah. I think you’re taking dottore criticism too seriously tbh 😭
sockbaws2026-01-11 03:57
I mean, just look at how many posts were started or talk about hating Alice, which has not done anything remotely as questionable as anything Dottore ever did. People are just passionate I guess?
TemporaryPool61502026-01-10 21:35
Remember Joffrey Baratheon from games of Thrones? I think with Dottore It's kinda like that lmao... I also hate him really bad for no reason... Despite his writing being pretty good... I Just can't stand him 😭
casualgamerTX552026-01-10 21:48
Ramsay Bolton was even a better villain. And I absolutely hated the character. Peak acting and writing.
Zandik getting some background story recently and possibly more later on should make him an even better and hateable villain. We'll see soon enough what Hoyo's cooking...
Tschmelz2026-01-10 21:40
People hate villains and his fanboys are annoying as fuck. It’s not hard to figure out.
Lulu_The_Lemon_2026-01-10 21:45
Ngl some of his fans are relatively chill, it’s the ones that are in r/FatuiHQ that aren’t
Kingpimpy2026-01-10 22:59
some of every characters fans are chill
some are assholes too thats literally a given lol
its also very hard to sort the fanboys into normal and fatuiHQ fuckwads when both say the same delusional things like "he did collei a favor" or shit like that
m2gus2026-01-10 21:46
Villains are historically some of the most popular characters in media, so hate isn't the only standard. As for the 'annoying fanboys', I feel like people are fighting ghosts. I see way more harassment directed at imaginary Dottore stans than I see actual toxic fans.
LengthinessSuperb1762026-01-10 21:50
Dottore fanboys don’t send gore and death threats to others because they like a fictional character
Tschmelz2026-01-10 22:46
And Dottore haters don’t either. Despite all you fanboys crying about it, not one of you has ever provided proof of that beyond “oh I saw it on Twitter!”
LengthinessSuperb1762026-01-10 22:52
Totally oblivious, as expected.

Tschmelz2026-01-10 23:26
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha. This is what y’all upset about? A couple of random Twitter bottom dwellers? Holy shit, Dottore fanboys are fragile.
For the record, death threats and hate messages are never ok. But don’t act like you’re some marginalized group because of a couple Twitter shitheads.
Scared_Gene_99592026-01-10 21:41
Tbh I think Mihoyo did really well at making him a villain. Usually the villains in genshin are watered down a bit or have some typa backstory to make us sympathise with them. Dottore is just ruthlessly evil so he’s earned the entire playerbase’s hate. He’s just a well written villain and well written villains earn everyone’s hatred .
Sadimal2026-01-10 22:02
So far he's the only Harbinger who doesn't have a tragic backstory. His backstory is just I murdered my research partner and experimented on children.
So far the only other Harbinger that tolerates him is Pantalone. The others are like we want to murder him but he's a Harbinger sooooo we can't.
Scared_Gene_99592026-01-10 22:15
Exactly. But then also you never know he might have a tragic backstory too. It’s not like we’ve reached that point yet where they would reveal his backstory. Maybe this coming patch? (I hope he doesn’t have a tragic backstory tho coz I wanna keep hating him lol)
LengthinessSuperb1762026-01-10 21:44
Genshin people don’t read and are immature.

That has unfortunately been a common occurrence ever since anime went mainstream.
Bad_muffin802026-01-10 21:56
I totally agree, ofc people can hate , but it gets to a point, they compare him and his stans to Israeli supporters and such, it’s weird and unsettling, i never see this kind of hate towards Wesker from residents evil who is pure evil , nor i see it towards any villain as much as him, just watch them switch up the moment his backstory releases
Scared_Gene_99592026-01-10 23:15
Lmfaooo I feel like quite a lot would switch up potentially. But if I’m entirely honest, rerir is the real villain and if we’re talking about israeli supporters, Rerir fans prolly deserve the title more 😭 but let’s not get into all of that lmfaooo. His backstory made it worse lol. But yeah it is just a game but the thing is the themes are relevant to things that happen irl, that’s why people are so passionate about it ig, even tho it’s not real, a lot of it is transferable and if you like a certain character in a video game for a certain reason then what about someone irl with similar characteristics, are they gonna suddenly be the subject of that persons criticism? 😭 Anywyas I’m yapping a lot but it’s interesting lol
Euthya2026-01-10 22:11
After recently finishing the AQ, I felt the same way. Compared to the visceral hate I've seen before, what he did is.. pretty tame. Sure, it was a dirty move, but his appearance was so short and impersonal... I was genuinely shocked. From the way people are talking about him, I thought he was personally gonna whack Columbina around and talk shit about us or something. But in reality, he just did what he came to do and barely even addressed any of the characters.
My guess is this is a combination of multiple factors:
1. Most people don't read too deeply into lore, or find the more obscure things.
An anecdote of mine: In the Eleazar hospital, I remember getting chills, following the escape of his patient after the treatment administered was so painful and torturous that it basically made them go crazy. For me that felt much more heavy than this, especially with the apathy Dottore's notes were written with and the suffering he inflicted. That was the first time I thought what an awesomely despicable, yet interesting and novel villain.
But it's not a voiced quest, so a large portion of the playerbase probably has never seen it. Not to mention the victim is faceless and easily forgettable for most.
2. This is the first time we see things on screen. Because yes, even the average player will know of his bad deeds. From the Sumeru ques, but so far, we've only seen the aftermath of his actions.
Collei already has a support system and has healed a lot since she was wronged, and while we see snippets of how he hurt Scaramouche, it was more indirect and mental manipulation (technically it was more, but again, that's lore that's hidden, so most people won't know that.)
The only one he kills on screen is an NPC. Sympathetic, but he has no personal connection to us. Only Scara.
But this time they used 70% of the Archon Quest for saving-Columbina-shenanigans and an extra 20% for playdates with her. They specifically set the quest with the festival up to build as much empathy for her as they can, right before snatching it away.
She is a playable character with a detailed, pretty, and more easily lovable appearance, not to mention they beat it into us that we have to protect her. Even with Scara, he was an enemy when we saw his suffering. But the game this time doesn't even want us to think about Columbina as anything but an angel to us. So combining the fact that she's not a semi-unknown person, but an actual ally and the fact that we see it actively happen, with physical actions present (not just manipulation), it definitely triggered the protectiveness in many players.
And lastly 3. I'm pretty sure much of the hate is artificially inflated by the conflict between the fans of the two characters.
Firstly, because people on the internet have serious issues with accepting opposing opinions and they can get pretty parasocial about their favorites. This applies to fans of both.
Criticize one character or express positive opinions about the other and you might find yourself in a heated argument with the "opposition".
Secondly, the aforementioned fights are what you're gonna see more of, because this is the internet. Genshin is a BIG game. And not everyone will engage in discussion about this (the smart ones, wish I was like them lmao). I'm sure there are plenty of people who are chill on both sides, but civil discussions are not the ones generating engagement. And they're certainly not the ones which you'll remember, over the one where people rip each other apart for their likes and dislikes.
Glyglyphy2026-01-10 23:53
I read the notes from dar al shifa again, and the shit Dottore did is...super tame ?
Like yes he experimented on them but saved their ass. The patients already came in with severe pain, necrosis, losing their mind. Yes his methods are extreme but so how do people think medicine advanced to the moderne "ethical" version we have now.
Regarding the experiments on Collei, that was barnabas. If you wanna blame him for that then by the same logic blame Tsaritsa for Dottore's deeds. He killed Niwa? Raiden murdered Kazuha's friend for shits and giggles and was about to murder us several more times just cause we controlled elements without a vision. And she was still an exteemely popular character. People just somehow selected him as a scapegoat for all the damn evil things in Genshin. Amplified what he did and exagerated it. And then decided to take it personally. This is so weird
Euthya2026-01-11 00:28
Oh, wait a minute lol. I think I was misunderstood.
I actually agree with pretty much everything you said. I'm a Fatui nerd and Dottore is pretty much my most anticipated character to see in action. I just didn't wanna make this a discussion of his morality, because the question was why the overblown hate was a thing. I simply state what most players know about him and why I think people reacted so intensely to the latest AQ.
> he experimented on them but saved their ass.
I know. The thing I got chills about is how apathetic he was about it in his notes. Every single time he talks about the suffering he may have caused. That's why I love his character so much. He's so much more complex than how the fanon makes him a mustache twirling monster. Most of his work in Sumeru is to cure basically cancer. And he basically does it! But his methods are unforgiving and his subjects were (probably) unwilling, so that brings a pretty interesting discussion in whether it was worth it. We don't know if he was curing Eleazar for the science of it or he actually wanted to help a severe issue in his homeland in his own way. His inner thoughts are an enigma. I also think his apathy is interesting, because while it's scary, it also doesn't necessarily mean malice. Just like in the Layla event, his notes are pretty self-centered in a way, but he patches up his teammate (and not necessarily because of Thoth) and warns people about the place.
> Regarding the experiments on Collei, that was barnabas.
I know that too. I wasn't trying to blame him. But I brought it up in the context of the crimes the average player (who doesn't consume complimentary materials) would be aware of. In the game, Collei never screams about Barnabas. She mentions "The Doctor" and has a trauma response to him. So much so that people started assuming it was a different type of assault happening... Even tho he might not even really know who Collei is. So yes, you're right, he didn't actually do much to Collei, but the average player won't know so.
> He killed Niwa? Raiden murdered Kazuha's friend for shits and giggles
You got the opposite message from what I was trying to say. I brought up Niwa's death in the context of why the playerbase DIDN'T care. They didn't care about Kazuha's friend and Raiden because he was an NPC we barely knew. And back then Dottore didn't yet get this much hate, again, BECAUSE Niwa is also just an NPC.
They only care now that Columbina, a PC was hurt.
> and was about to murder us several times
Alright, uhm... Let's be real, most people don't care about the Traveler that much. Especially back then when their personalities was way less showcased. Threatening Traveler is never gonna be as big of a sin in people's eyes as threatening their fave. (And I say this as a Traveler main)
> And she was still an exteemely popular character
Well, Raiden is definitely still one of the most criticized characters in the game. And Dottore too has a fanbase of his own. But I won't pretend that I don't understand what you're getting at. One of the big reasons for the difference in their treatment is.. boobs. There isn't much nuance in that tho and we shouldn't dismiss everyone disliking either as being superficial.
As for Dottore, the hate was definitely amplified. I am beyond frustrated whenever I see him get called a pedo or something. He's a great villain with enough crimes under his belt. No need to invent new ones, but some people don't care about accuracy or his actual character. They just wanna hate him.
I don't wanna point fingers, but his biggest and most vocal haters are definitely a bit parasocial about Columbina like 80% of the time. No disrespect for those this doesn't apply to. But anyhow, that comes with the territory of Genshin being a marketable gatcha game. Columbina has been portrayed as the must be protected baby girl and so the fans do as they're told and protect her valiantly. Even against the "evil" real people who like her enemy.
Such is the internet.
Ball-Blam-Burglerber2026-01-10 22:17
Everything is exaggerated on the internet. In this case, I think it’s just harmless fun.
parrotandpeacock2026-01-10 22:27
>he’s written to be repulsive
You answered it yourself, some people just don't like bad guys. This is a gacha game, people are emotionally attached to the characters. He's done so many terrible things to the actual playable characters so people hate him for it. For example Idk if you've seen HXH but there is a character called hisoka, he's a cool villian but people hate him because he's a fucking creep and that's a normal reaction.
Glyglyphy2026-01-10 23:45
Because people online have spread their headcannons about stuff he "did". He hasn't done half the shit they accuse him of. Other characters or entities in Genshin has done have done much worse things than him. People just love the spread actual hate about him.
jasonensteinyt2026-01-10 21:29
Well, we have to get demolished by him a few times before we claim those

No, villains aren't made to be hated. This is such a simplistic way to look at it. There are plenty of reasons to hate a character beyond them being evil. And I assure you you can also like, or at least not dislike, a villain even if they're well-written.
Dreadsbo2026-01-10 21:46
Man, I was watching a show the other day and I wanted to punch the villain in the face.
Unfortunately, Dottore is a well-written character
Alpha06Omega092026-01-10 21:54

Same thing as with Taylor Swift. Decent enough, but heir fans are beyond insufferable.
PantheraAuroris2026-01-11 05:19
I mean...he did torture Collei and fuck a lot of people over. He's also a cool character, which does not mean he's a good person, he's a trash person :P
LivingASlothsLife2026-01-10 21:37
Ill beat him up for fun, regardless of rewards. I like him that much as an antagonist
ankitjad2026-01-10 21:42
Jokes on OP, I stopped doing weekly bosses since I've em stacked
Also DOttore is the goat. I'm looking forward to his experiment and lore more than columbina's ascension as Iykyk.

Lulu_The_Lemon_2026-01-11 00:01
K how abt Wanderer instead
Glyglyphy2026-01-11 00:02
Then after you're done go beat up Raiden a few dozen times over Kazuha's friend. Or...is she not held up to the same standard? 🤔
Lulu_The_Lemon_2026-01-11 00:05
He challenged Kujou Sara and died cuz he lost, that’s different
Wanderer and Collei didn’t deserve what Dottore did to them
Glyglyphy2026-01-11 00:08
He was executed. Full stop. The why does not matter. An innocent civilian was killed for what? Tradition? Ritual? Raiden has so much blood on her hands it's actually crazy.
And if the end justifies the means, then Dottore was under Pierro's orders in that mission as he reported to him in the end. By extension, under the tsaritsa's others. Ergo: Tsaritsa is the mother of all evil.
See where these extreme reasonings take us?
Lulu_The_Lemon_2026-01-11 00:12
Kazuha literally said Tomo wanted to see the Musou no Hitotachi (“brave the lightning’s glow” and allat)
And besides we can just go down the list of people who’ve suffered from Dottore’s actions: Columbina
Glyglyphy2026-01-11 00:18
So she should humour him by killing him? 🙃
So far, all that happened to columbina is that she missed her first class ticket to the moon. What of it?
Save the hate until we know what actually happened to her and how the quest ends. My point is the hate for him is actually extreme. The vitriol is unjustified for a fictional character. It's like people believe he killed their grandma or something. People should calm down
Raikiri0070072026-01-11 03:03
>He was executed. Full stop. The why does not matter. An innocent civilian was killed for what? Tradition? Ritual?
Kazuha's friend engaged in the duel to death, endangered his opponent (sara) in the process. He is not deserving of any sympathy. He is not innocent.
>Raiden has so much blood on her hands it's actually crazy.
She has barely any apart from the countless wars she has fought for inazuma, especially compared to someone like dottore.

It's really about time Genshin caught up to ZZZ and HSR with how it handles boss materials. Once per week when a brand new character and boss comes out is bullshit.

I, uh... I always do all the bosses and only by the last 3 days of the week can I use the spare resin on whatever else I want...
Commentaires
I get what you mean though.
sucked ass because it takes like 9 to fully build a character
HSR has a strict timer, but gives enough for a maxed character with just 4 bosses (3/week), and then there's Genshin, where you can spend resin to do every boss once a week... and need 100+ weeks of doing that if you ever want enough to build everyone.
especially nice once a new boss drops in that month
The 3 free tries you get weekly also yield a chance for a WEngine puzzle piece thingy which has finally gotten a good use.
(For those not in the know: 60 of those can be traded into a currency that allows to purchase a standard or one of 3 currently chosen limited WEngines if you get 4 of that currency)
That’s peak
I honestly don't understand what makes Genshin characters so great that many people consider them to be real?(idk how else to explain), like they treat them as if they're friends/people they hate irl. I've obviously seen this phenomenon in other fandoms but I've never seen it be as common as in the hoyo fandoms.
However, it still does not explain why this is so common in Genshin, there are many other pieces of fiction that let you connect to the characters but how come this community gets so toxic about them ?
Zandik getting some background story recently and possibly more later on should make him an even better and hateable villain. We'll see soon enough what Hoyo's cooking...
some are assholes too thats literally a given lol
its also very hard to sort the fanboys into normal and fatuiHQ fuckwads when both say the same delusional things like "he did collei a favor" or shit like that
I have much more, thanks to Columbina lovely fans
For the record, death threats and hate messages are never ok. But don’t act like you’re some marginalized group because of a couple Twitter shitheads.
So far the only other Harbinger that tolerates him is Pantalone. The others are like we want to murder him but he's a Harbinger sooooo we can't.
That has unfortunately been a common occurrence ever since anime went mainstream.
My guess is this is a combination of multiple factors:
1. Most people don't read too deeply into lore, or find the more obscure things.
An anecdote of mine: In the Eleazar hospital, I remember getting chills, following the escape of his patient after the treatment administered was so painful and torturous that it basically made them go crazy. For me that felt much more heavy than this, especially with the apathy Dottore's notes were written with and the suffering he inflicted. That was the first time I thought what an awesomely despicable, yet interesting and novel villain.
But it's not a voiced quest, so a large portion of the playerbase probably has never seen it. Not to mention the victim is faceless and easily forgettable for most.
2. This is the first time we see things on screen. Because yes, even the average player will know of his bad deeds. From the Sumeru ques, but so far, we've only seen the aftermath of his actions.
Collei already has a support system and has healed a lot since she was wronged, and while we see snippets of how he hurt Scaramouche, it was more indirect and mental manipulation (technically it was more, but again, that's lore that's hidden, so most people won't know that.)
The only one he kills on screen is an NPC. Sympathetic, but he has no personal connection to us. Only Scara.
But this time they used 70% of the Archon Quest for saving-Columbina-shenanigans and an extra 20% for playdates with her. They specifically set the quest with the festival up to build as much empathy for her as they can, right before snatching it away.
She is a playable character with a detailed, pretty, and more easily lovable appearance, not to mention they beat it into us that we have to protect her. Even with Scara, he was an enemy when we saw his suffering. But the game this time doesn't even want us to think about Columbina as anything but an angel to us. So combining the fact that she's not a semi-unknown person, but an actual ally and the fact that we see it actively happen, with physical actions present (not just manipulation), it definitely triggered the protectiveness in many players.
And lastly 3. I'm pretty sure much of the hate is artificially inflated by the conflict between the fans of the two characters.
Firstly, because people on the internet have serious issues with accepting opposing opinions and they can get pretty parasocial about their favorites. This applies to fans of both.
Criticize one character or express positive opinions about the other and you might find yourself in a heated argument with the "opposition".
Secondly, the aforementioned fights are what you're gonna see more of, because this is the internet. Genshin is a BIG game. And not everyone will engage in discussion about this (the smart ones, wish I was like them lmao). I'm sure there are plenty of people who are chill on both sides, but civil discussions are not the ones generating engagement. And they're certainly not the ones which you'll remember, over the one where people rip each other apart for their likes and dislikes.
Like yes he experimented on them but saved their ass. The patients already came in with severe pain, necrosis, losing their mind. Yes his methods are extreme but so how do people think medicine advanced to the moderne "ethical" version we have now.
Regarding the experiments on Collei, that was barnabas. If you wanna blame him for that then by the same logic blame Tsaritsa for Dottore's deeds. He killed Niwa? Raiden murdered Kazuha's friend for shits and giggles and was about to murder us several more times just cause we controlled elements without a vision. And she was still an exteemely popular character. People just somehow selected him as a scapegoat for all the damn evil things in Genshin. Amplified what he did and exagerated it. And then decided to take it personally. This is so weird
I actually agree with pretty much everything you said. I'm a Fatui nerd and Dottore is pretty much my most anticipated character to see in action. I just didn't wanna make this a discussion of his morality, because the question was why the overblown hate was a thing. I simply state what most players know about him and why I think people reacted so intensely to the latest AQ.
> he experimented on them but saved their ass.
I know. The thing I got chills about is how apathetic he was about it in his notes. Every single time he talks about the suffering he may have caused. That's why I love his character so much. He's so much more complex than how the fanon makes him a mustache twirling monster. Most of his work in Sumeru is to cure basically cancer. And he basically does it! But his methods are unforgiving and his subjects were (probably) unwilling, so that brings a pretty interesting discussion in whether it was worth it. We don't know if he was curing Eleazar for the science of it or he actually wanted to help a severe issue in his homeland in his own way. His inner thoughts are an enigma. I also think his apathy is interesting, because while it's scary, it also doesn't necessarily mean malice. Just like in the Layla event, his notes are pretty self-centered in a way, but he patches up his teammate (and not necessarily because of Thoth) and warns people about the place.
> Regarding the experiments on Collei, that was barnabas.
I know that too. I wasn't trying to blame him. But I brought it up in the context of the crimes the average player (who doesn't consume complimentary materials) would be aware of. In the game, Collei never screams about Barnabas. She mentions "The Doctor" and has a trauma response to him. So much so that people started assuming it was a different type of assault happening... Even tho he might not even really know who Collei is. So yes, you're right, he didn't actually do much to Collei, but the average player won't know so.
> He killed Niwa? Raiden murdered Kazuha's friend for shits and giggles
You got the opposite message from what I was trying to say. I brought up Niwa's death in the context of why the playerbase DIDN'T care. They didn't care about Kazuha's friend and Raiden because he was an NPC we barely knew. And back then Dottore didn't yet get this much hate, again, BECAUSE Niwa is also just an NPC.
They only care now that Columbina, a PC was hurt.
> and was about to murder us several times
Alright, uhm... Let's be real, most people don't care about the Traveler that much. Especially back then when their personalities was way less showcased. Threatening Traveler is never gonna be as big of a sin in people's eyes as threatening their fave. (And I say this as a Traveler main)
> And she was still an exteemely popular character
Well, Raiden is definitely still one of the most criticized characters in the game. And Dottore too has a fanbase of his own. But I won't pretend that I don't understand what you're getting at. One of the big reasons for the difference in their treatment is.. boobs. There isn't much nuance in that tho and we shouldn't dismiss everyone disliking either as being superficial.
As for Dottore, the hate was definitely amplified. I am beyond frustrated whenever I see him get called a pedo or something. He's a great villain with enough crimes under his belt. No need to invent new ones, but some people don't care about accuracy or his actual character. They just wanna hate him.
I don't wanna point fingers, but his biggest and most vocal haters are definitely a bit parasocial about Columbina like 80% of the time. No disrespect for those this doesn't apply to. But anyhow, that comes with the territory of Genshin being a marketable gatcha game. Columbina has been portrayed as the must be protected baby girl and so the fans do as they're told and protect her valiantly. Even against the "evil" real people who like her enemy.
Such is the internet.
You answered it yourself, some people just don't like bad guys. This is a gacha game, people are emotionally attached to the characters. He's done so many terrible things to the actual playable characters so people hate him for it. For example Idk if you've seen HXH but there is a character called hisoka, he's a cool villian but people hate him because he's a fucking creep and that's a normal reaction.
Unfortunately, Dottore is a well-written character
Also DOttore is the goat. I'm looking forward to his experiment and lore more than columbina's ascension as Iykyk.
Wanderer and Collei didn’t deserve what Dottore did to them
And if the end justifies the means, then Dottore was under Pierro's orders in that mission as he reported to him in the end. By extension, under the tsaritsa's others. Ergo: Tsaritsa is the mother of all evil.
See where these extreme reasonings take us?
And besides we can just go down the list of people who’ve suffered from Dottore’s actions: Columbina
So far, all that happened to columbina is that she missed her first class ticket to the moon. What of it?
Save the hate until we know what actually happened to her and how the quest ends. My point is the hate for him is actually extreme. The vitriol is unjustified for a fictional character. It's like people believe he killed their grandma or something. People should calm down
Kazuha's friend engaged in the duel to death, endangered his opponent (sara) in the process. He is not deserving of any sympathy. He is not innocent.
>Raiden has so much blood on her hands it's actually crazy.
She has barely any apart from the countless wars she has fought for inazuma, especially compared to someone like dottore.
*No Lunar pyro/electro/overload but I’m struggling with the ‘L’…
