I recently came back to this game after 3 years, what did I miss?

I started playing Genshin a couple of months since launch and quit somewhere around late 2022. I would sometimes log into the game to collect free stuff but never progressed. I was wondering what did I miss during those 3 years.

3 years worth of content which is a lot .

Not sure what you expect people to write it would literally take writing a book to explain everything

Three regions being added to the game plus a few under ground zones. You missed out on several new mechanics granted you’ll encounter them if you play the newer regions. You missed out on quite a few limited time events. I would invest in some Natlan characters for exploration. I like Varessa’s running for flat terrain. Xilonen is great for both flat terrain and climbing when her skates are in use. You can try both characters now, in the trial, since they are on the current banner.

There are wolves in Wolvendom now.

Doesn’t matter. Just play. You will eventually hit all the content. There’s nothing you’ll get from here that’s going to change the story or gameplay.

Not really, since a lot of the story is locked behind limited time events. OP should probably at least watch the simulanka story and the second part of the dragonspine story if they haven't seen that (not sure when it came out) to understand what's going on.

Well, in terms of storytelling it has been surprising. Fontaine was surprisingly great. Many players think Fontaine was PEAK. Natlan was disappointing to many, but Nod-Krai has been even better in terms of story.

Some new endgame modes have joined Spiral Abyss. They incentivize having 1) lots of decently-built characters, and 2) being able to assemble 3 unique, very strong teams to fight 3 bosses.

It seems that soon we'll be able to revisit old events. The event library will start being populated with new events soon. Perhaps they'll eventually add old events? But that's purely my own speculation.

Oh yeah there's Miliastra Wonderland. It's basically Roblox. No Primogems to be gained there.

A lot. At that point you could as well ask AI and it would give you summary depending on your criteria.

Story wise, we should be around 66%, assuming each region equals to 10%. They released a lot of QoL (still no artifact loadouts) over the years which makes the game less tiring. Starting from ~1.5 years ago new characters are released with updated models: they have better body proportions. Around that time we also got significant powercreep (there were signs of it 2.5 years ago). There is also separate mode which is basically Roblox/Fortnite custom games and you can dress your custom character however you want although there is separate gacha behind it. In current patch we also got buffs for around half Mondstadt characters (first region) which is something a lot of the playerbase was waiting for given that other Hoyo games started this trend.

They actually buffed that Klee so that she's now as playable as Xingyan is. /j

You actually did miss (i.e. you cannot replay again) the Simulanka summer event (and the other 2 summer events as well). The Simulanka events tell the story about a playable character, Durin and why he have the same name as that Durin who wrecked Mondstat before.
