Warning to those thinking of starting the 6.3 Archon Quests

It's similar to previous patches where once you start it won't give you a break so chose your time well, but unlike the last couple of Archon quests this one will immediately start the next act. I made the mistake of thinking I could do one act and be done for today lol. So yeah, make sure you do it when you have time to do it.

4hs later and still stuck into forced cutscene after the next.

The amount of inconsideration to the player time.

Would it kill them to add save and exit feature!??

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 07:48

Technically you could just force quit the game and it'll open back up at your last dialogue conversation but even that is a little tedious

RafalNav2026-01-16 18:00

Force quit is just a workaround for bad design in my opinion. This option should be build in in game tbh.

Lin_Mie2026-01-14 08:19

It auto saves when a black screen happen...

You can just quit at any time bruh

This whole post is just misinformation for the sake of misinfomation

xaviersi2026-01-14 09:25

Now hold up. Some of us were forced to take the quest to completion because we were capped on resin and didn't want it to bleed out even more. Especially since I just pulled Columbina and need that resin.

True_Sprinkles86682026-01-14 17:14

You can literally exit the quest man. And do whatever you want wherever you want in the world including exploration or resin, and then come back to some designated spot to start the quest.
It takes you back to the beginning of the dialogue from where you left so maybe a few mins lost

Neracca2026-01-16 07:24

> It auto saves when a black screen happen...

It saying "saving" and it saying "you can leave here" are wildly different??

ddean77max2026-01-14 16:42

just leave, the 2-3 minutes of progress you lose in cutscenes is not a big deal to replay

Hrist02026-01-14 07:46

It’s basically like watching a movie so far, no complaints though.

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 07:47

I also have no complaints! It was peak, just warning people it'll be continuous, lol

AlterWanabee2026-01-14 08:14

I doubt it can be worse than the onslaught of quests in Act 3 to 5...

Aggravating-Yak21652026-01-14 07:56

I don't know what you guys are talking about, but there are plenty of moments where you can get out and play later. I did that by accident and the game just brought me back to the begining of certain cutscenes. Surely it was not the exact moment I left (it was just the beginning of that specific section), but it was not, like, the beginning of the archon quest.

You can just leave people, it's fine

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 07:59

Yeah I mentioned that in another comment, you can quite genshin and then come back later but that involves shutting it down and restarting it... I'm pretty sure being able to use resin or play the game otherwise in inaccessible until the story is complete, tho I could be wrong since I didn't personally try it so feel free to correct me!

Aggravating-Yak21652026-01-14 08:01

Pretty sure you can. I'm playing a section right now an I'm gonna wait till the next one begins to see. (Tomorrow, im gonna sleep now)

nub9872026-01-14 08:09

U can take break and stop playing when one scene ends. U will start from 2nd scene when u join special story again

New_Nature2202026-01-14 08:42

I was able to leave at the part when they separated into different groups and I got into control of Flins. You don't have to quit the game.

Dalmyr2026-01-14 12:58

Are you able to do dailies and use resin ?

Willster3282026-01-14 09:16

This is a flawed take because it locks you out of resin related content.

If I leave mid cutscene because I'm out of time I can no longer do any resin related content (ergo complete my dailies, collect teapot currency, etc) until I have enough time to complete it. It's dumb.

Aggravating-Yak21652026-01-14 21:52

No true at all. I started que AQ yesterday, I slept and then today I log in and I did my dailies normally before coming back to where I left of

ZeRandomPerson22222026-01-14 09:58

It locks you out of resin related content til the quest is over. It’s still a massively flawed system that shouldn’t be the way it is. If they insist on doing things this way (and they really shouldn’t), they should seriously warn players that they’re starting a long quest they won’t be able to leave (in game) til it’s over.

Telighoth2026-01-14 10:22

They do. There's literally a warning about disabling certain gameplay till you're done, and gives you an out if you want to take care of it before doing the quest.

velveteentuzhi2026-01-14 11:15

They should either give a time estimate or tell you that it's going to be two acts back to back. My friend warned me since I can only play very late at night after work- if my friend hadn't warned me I would have basically been over capped on resin for two days straight, since I don't have time to get stuck in 4 straight hours of cutscenes in one night

ImmersedClaudette2026-01-14 16:41

You keep commenting this but it’s as easy as waiting for dialogue to end, pressing leave quest, and you’re free to go do dailies, resin, other quests, and etc..

Neracca2026-01-16 07:21

> You can just leave people, it's fine

But the game refuses to say that.

MartinZ022026-01-14 07:56

Wait, so both Acts are back to back? There are no stopping points at all?

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 07:57

That's what I experienced atleast, not sure if it's that way for everyone

nub9872026-01-14 08:08

U can always take a break. It will stsrt from where u left if certain part of quest is done

ilovearty6262026-01-14 07:58

Yup, act 7 ends, theres a cutscene inbetween acts, and act 8 immediately begins. I just shut my PV down after that because I need to go to sleep lmao

Komiisimp2026-01-14 07:57

Thanks for the warning! Can't wait to do it 41 days later

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 08:01

XDD take your time! It is a peak story tho in my opinion so I hope you enjoy it 41 days from now

xaviersi2026-01-14 09:23

Yeah I absolutely loved the story so much. I didn't need the warning thinking it would be an hour or so tops. THREE HOURS LATER...

ShatteredAbyss172026-01-14 08:28

It only takes 4-5 hours

Less-Development-242026-01-14 10:40

“only 4-5 hours” implying that everyone has that much time for leisure 😅. but yeah i see what you mean.

Vegetto_ssj2026-01-14 07:59

Not really encouraging, after the right criticisms for the previous patches, they didn't do nothing for it, and made it worse.

As usually, I will do the AQ during the night, after a evening nap (🌟I highly recommend this if you have thr next day free, it really helps you to fully enjoy quests, especially epic arcs like the final battles, or to survive without too stress, at tedious story phases like the Prison in Fontaine part or the common yapping phases in HSR.❗️)
I just hope I can a break using both the Acts.

Alpha06Omega092026-01-14 20:33

“They did nothing” mf they literally added a saving icon on the bottom telling you know you can quit the quest and come back.

Devs should throw criticism saying “Genshin players can't read”

lostn2026-01-14 21:18

they work on patches 0.5 to 1.5 years in advance, so any feedback you give them can't be acted upon immediately.

RichtheLionheart2026-01-14 08:02

I exited after getting control and went back in to see where it would it would put me and it allowed me to start from exactly where I left off. They really should make it more clear for people with some sort of dialogue that pops up telling you that you can leave and save your progress...

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 08:07

Omg that would've been a life saver for me had I known, thanks tho!

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 08:08

Omg that would've been a life saver for me had I known, thanks tho!

Hotspur0002026-01-14 08:26

Yeah, like in HSR, it tells you pretty clearly you can 'pause and save' your progress, but in Genshin it almost feels like a threat that if you quit out you're going back to the beginning or something.

I don't understand how different games from the same company act so differently.

thisbigdiamond2026-01-14 11:57

plus in hsr even before they added a skip button for everything, they used to add a skip button for dialogue u already finished

lostn2026-01-14 20:53

Different team leaders, directors and managers.

da wei doesn't involve himself in low level management. He doesn't have time to concern himself with decisions like this. That's for low level managers who won't be managing other games. He only looks at major things, which affect sales.

ShatteredAbyss172026-01-14 08:28

It literally has a special “saving” in the bottom corner between each section/location bruh

E17Omm2026-01-14 08:33

Have a little popin from the corner or something that just says "quest progress saved!"

_PinaColada2026-01-14 09:01

There actually is, in some transitions a little "Saving...." Marker appears

ImGroot692026-01-14 11:55

well....https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/s/FLrpuVYx5f

Curledin2026-01-14 13:07

..but it does have that ?

bob213122026-01-14 09:02

As someone who plays on mobile with a spotty connection I feel there are actually a lot more save points within the quests even when you don't have control. Maybe it's different if you quit the client but when I get disconnected it puts me not too far off dialog-wise.

Sometimes I come back and I'm in the overworld with an indicator to go back into the quest to pick up where I was >!like in the Moon-Prayer Night quest!<

PreferenceGold51672026-01-14 09:16

there is a screen that says "saving"

the game literally tells you,

HiroshiTakeshi2026-01-14 11:52

In the moments when control is reduced, there's actually a sound played as a checkpoint indicator.

It's the sound you get when you have these respawn doors in dungeons.

SpacefillerBR2026-01-14 13:02

It shows on the right corner a message similar to "saving progress", so technically they do tell you about the "checkpoints".

Alpha06Omega092026-01-14 20:29

Saving literally on the bottom right if the screen…

Mr_7ups2026-01-14 23:17

Almost like it says. “Saving” in the bottom right….gee

The_Rock_Hunter2026-01-14 08:05

During some loading screens you can see a little page icon in the corner and it says "saving", it should be fine to close the game after one of those

zye062026-01-14 08:50

Are you still forced to do the quest when you come back?

Unevener2026-01-14 09:37

You can exit the quest special domain and start right from where you left off after the little “saving” icon

zye062026-01-14 09:47

Thanks!

LionelleDi2026-01-14 20:26

I feel they didn't answer you correctly, even if you F4, you will be locked to the quest, so when you open the game again the last cutscenes will start playing, you can't explore or spent resin, for min 3 hours I think

zye062026-01-14 21:19

Thank you. I will definitely wait until I have more time but I would still prefer not to do it all in one day.
Last archon quest, when I quit and came back the quest automatically started but I had to quit again because I only wanted to do my dailies. When I started the game later the quest didn't start and I could explore and do everything. Maybe it's weird again?

Howrus2026-01-15 04:06

Nope, that comment is wrong. If you Alt+F4 after saving icon - on next login you will be in normal world state where you could do everything you want. And there will be domain-like entrance with "Continue quest" that will pick up from where you was saved.

lonerider5432026-01-14 23:03

I believe this is incorrect. As soon as you have control of your character you can press escape to leave. It will give you a warning that you may need to replay part of the story. It should put you back in the overworld so you can do the usual dailies etc. and there is a little something you can interact with to "rejoin" the story. It will usually replay the cutscene just before you regained control of a character. I have just tried this not long after the beginning of act 8 and when I rejoined the story it was literally just like 5 lines of dialogue and I was back in control of the character where I left.

ohoni2026-01-14 21:42

Yes, and this is a nice inclusion, but they should also drop you back out completely and let you choose to opt back in, rather than requiring you to opt out.

Kpoofies2026-01-14 08:10

It literally pauses the game and warns you about this, tf u mean

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 09:38

True but you can't use resin or do dailies either

Kpoofies2026-01-14 10:24

What?? Yes you can, you can literally tell Nefer “I have some things to do” before starting the quest right after the big ass warning that pauses the game

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 10:50

Yeah that's before you start the whole thing, I didnt have my resin fully replenished before I started. Also I assumed I would just be doing one act for today that's why I didn't spend my resin before hand. Once you're actually doing the story you can't do resin related activities as some commenters have pointed out. That's all I meant :>

WeWereInfinite2026-01-14 20:40

It says "make sure you have ample time to finish", which isn't helpful with no indication of how long that is.

It doesn't say "yo you're about to enter 5 hours of back to back cutscenes with no natural stopping point to take a break"

Kpoofies2026-01-14 21:39

I think the fact that you've done 5 damn nations without a warning so far, then this would be telling that if they go out of their way to actually put a warning, it'll take a damn long time.

wroggles2026-01-14 08:14

Where does it autostart?

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 12:19

If you go to the Curatorium of Secrets it starts

Seraph1992026-01-14 08:15

I'm pretty sure every time it says "saving..." in the bottom right corner it is saving your progress in the quest at that point so you can pick it back up where you left off if you quit out after one of those scenes.

Lin_Mie2026-01-14 08:20

[deleted]

beyond10372026-01-14 08:23

You guys learned the word fearmongering and forgot how to act omg

Lin_Mie2026-01-14 08:24

????? The whole post is literally still misinfo saying we CAN'T QUIT OR SAVE

Shut your trap lmao

mee8Ti6Eit2026-01-14 11:55

If Genshin players knew how to read they'd be very upset that you're pointing this out.

Neracca2026-01-16 07:11

Or just give us hard breaks? But no we really NEED eternal cutscenes instead.

thwrlsgenshin2026-01-14 08:29

actually every time you change groups you can leave the game, it will starts right where you left. You just have to rewatch the first second or so.

iamraven072026-01-14 08:46

this is why i don’t trust complaints because sometimes, it’s like this

6991120267752026-01-14 08:53

Thx, staying away from Nod Krai it is

Background-Map-362026-01-14 09:11

I cussed them out in the survey for exactly this. Some of us are grown adults with full time jobs, not kids who can sit around with loads of time to waste(no offense, kids). I wish I could have actually cussed...

Demmitri2026-01-14 10:51

I cussed them too and they did it again, this time worse. They will take your time to inflate their playtime and they wont give a fuck about it. It's disgusting at this point.

VictoryOk24602026-01-14 11:17

You do know these games are like 2 years a head in development compared to what we are playing, right? Sure, based in feedback they can, to a certain degree that is (albeit a limited one), go back and adjust things a bit. Obviously, some things are going to be easier to adjust than others. But yeah, besides some minor text changes, you'd be an idiot to assume they'd realistically be able to go back and make major adjustments without fucking over their own development pipeline, something that isn't ideal for the record.

Though, on the bright side. You can see that they actually did add some changes. One change being the "progress saved" during loading screens. On top of also having a warning at the beginning of the archon quest. A warning which warned of exactly the thing you complained about happening.

Background-Map-362026-01-14 11:18

Can global use the ultimate trump card? Reporting them for it? I doubt it but is it ever possible...

Lower_Peril2026-01-14 11:51

Did you not see the saving icons during loading screens

MapoTofuMan2026-01-14 12:15

>inflate their playtime

As in, you want the AQ to be shorter or just allow breaks? If the latter understandable, if the former hell no, every single act has been great and devs should never listen to people asking for less story. That's how you get a rushed mess.

Background-Map-362026-01-14 12:59

I need them to put the actual breaks back in the quest and not bridge the dialogue with a damn loading screen. I like the lore. It's why I'm still playing this ass game and I whaled in it for two years already. I don't have the sunk cost fomo I just really enjoy it but they're pissing me off with the nod krai quest structure.

Demmitri2026-01-14 16:23

Yes breaks would be enough, I don't remember a game locking you out from any other activities in the game for 5 hours. It's atrocious design really.

thetruelu2026-01-14 12:55

I’m almost certain any free response boxes in the surveys they don’t even bother looking at. Likely some program just sorts all the responses and spits out a graph that they glance at

SugarFreeShire2026-01-14 09:14

I just finished it. It’s real good, but it’s also a lore firehose. It’s a two 2-3 hour chunks if you take your time.

BladeSingularity2026-01-14 17:19

So you’re saying we could also just have Nicole narrate the whole thing?

fyrespyrit2026-01-15 00:51

It would've taken 37h for each act if that were the case.

Willster3282026-01-14 09:18

Anybody saying "leave and take a break it auto saves" is giving a flawed response because it locks you out of resin related content and time limited events.

If I leave mid cutscene because I'm out of time I can no longer do any resin related content (ergo complete my dailies, collect teapot currency, etc) until I have enough time to complete it. It's dumb. It shouldn't happen in a game where that schedule is a core mechanic in the game.

velveteentuzhi2026-01-14 11:11

One of my main gripes with Genshin since day one is how incredibly disrespectful of gamers' time Hoyo is. Last patch I was doing the instance and one of the stupid little kuuvehnki rocks clipped into the wall and I couldn't progress because of it. Yay, time to redo the entire instance and all the dialogue because of it.

I'm a grown ass adult. I should be able to skip or break apart story quests to play at my leisure. I don't have 3 hour blocks to play, and Hoyo forcing me to either sit through (x) amount of cutscenes again and lock me out of the rest of the game is grating af.

Reality_LB2026-01-14 11:57

This should be the top comment.

__-sky-__2026-01-14 15:38

You do realize they are talking about leaving the "quest" domain and you can actually do your resin and everything. Everytime it "saves" you can exit the story and it will resume from where you left off. You can do your resin and everything else too.

Mattsvaliant2026-01-14 15:56

If you have control of a character, you can hit esc and it'll give a popup, agree and it'll take you back to the normal overworld. I haven't logged in today since I did it last night in the middle, but I did it in 6.2 and at most it was a few minutes of replayed dialogue (if you don't skip, so like 30 seconds of wasted time).

EDIT: I've done it twice now and its picked up *exactly* where I left of, no repeat dialogue.

Neracca2026-01-16 07:20

> If you have control of a character

The problem is there are hour+ rounds of cutscenes with no control.

ddean77max2026-01-14 16:40

no it doesn't, you can do spend resin when you leave the quest. have any of you actually tried to spend resin at all?

Mr_7ups2026-01-14 23:19

It literally doesn’t. You can exit the domain and play normally and then pick up where you left off. This is why Genshin players have a bad rep

4ThatWin2026-01-14 09:27

How long is it?

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 09:39

It took me around 4-5 hours to fully complete it albeit with a few water breaks

4ThatWin2026-01-14 09:43

violet-crow2026-01-14 09:38

I’m really disliking this style of archon quest ngl. I don’t mind sitting through a quest but I don’t like not having the ability to leave when I want. Going from long cutscene to long cutscene is quite annoying :(

Ik you can leave when you hear the sound of a teleport and stuff but Genshin should add a feature where it tells us it’s safe to exit and take a break

Skipwith142026-01-14 14:51

Every time it says “saving” with a book icon in the bottom right it is safe to exit

Neracca2026-01-16 07:18

Why can't we get real breaks though? Endless cutscenes is fucking boring.

Neracca2026-01-16 07:18

Yeah, I'm tired to cutscene to cutscene to cutscene.

Sun_Wukong5082026-01-14 09:41

also grab some snacks, it was a pretty good movie

AriaArael2026-01-14 09:57

Thanks for the warning. Do you know about how long it took to do all of it?

Lagnabbit2026-01-14 10:15

I just alt-f4 when I need to take a break for the day. I know there's an official way to just tell the game "take me out of focused experience mode" but I never use it.

yaysyu2026-01-14 10:18

How long was it? Both act?

Yknowsoobin2026-01-14 11:03

Lol same i thought i’d do only one act tonight but i knew i couldn’t wait when it automatically dropped me into the craziness that the beginning of the second act was

Nyllil2026-01-14 11:08

Does the quest still lock you out from the weekly quest at Columbina's cave?

yogscastlover694202026-01-14 11:09

I feel like I’m watching stranger things season 5 the way the exposition and plot is being spoonfed to me via Columbina talking to herself

Professional_Ice62312026-01-14 11:49

ty so much for this i finished the entire 'traveler on a winter's night' quest in one go because i thought it'd reset my entire progress

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 12:21

Same 😭 I didn't have the time or energy to redo it again also so I was terrified to leave the game

vAdachiCabbage2026-01-14 12:01

I started it around 11:15PM, and all together took a combined total of maybe 30 minutes for snack and bathroom breaks, I finished it at around 4:30AM.

BleezyMonkey2026-01-14 12:19

real question is do i have to finish the archon quest to be able to do the weekly columbina thingies

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 12:21

I think you do because you need columbina to be back in her cave and she's not there if you don't start

Dalmyr2026-01-14 12:46

How much does it takes the Archon Quests ?

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 12:47

It took me 4-5 hours to complete it leisurely

nakorurukami2026-01-14 12:59

So when you close the app and run it again, does it put you back into the quest or in the overworld where you can free roam?

LionelleDi2026-01-14 20:41

Quest, you can only do quest....

MurasakiMochi892026-01-14 13:04

4-5 hours in total or for both?

IrisTheSivatherium2026-01-14 14:28

4-5 total

SaDaSi012026-01-14 13:10

4-5 hours for each or both of them?

AdministrativeShip22026-01-14 13:19

Guess thats my weekend over then.

Dimothy_Trake2026-01-14 13:47

Locked out of resin content even if you leave.

This and a combination of the grating nonstop *gasp* from Columbina just made me irrationally angry at the back to back jumps with no player input. Need a bug fix immediately to address the lockout, cause that shit is annoying asf when you want to do your daily crap but are forced to sit through a *5 hour yapfest with no skip button* in order to get your resin back.

Dark_Reaper_18182026-01-14 13:48

Don't worry too much though, it automatically saves in between

squeamishkevin2026-01-14 13:49

Found out the hard way. Went in for a sneak peek, couldn't leave without having to redo a huge portion all over again. At some points you're even denied bringing up the quest exit or main menu. I was seriously considering shutting it down from the PlayStation game menu. Managed to get out but got so annoyed with it that I started to skip the dialogue to find a leave point. You've got 40 days to complete it why the heck do they set their main quests like they're a speed run?

byTexe2026-01-14 14:48

How long will it take when you perma Spam Space and Interact?

Better-Suggestion9382026-01-14 15:16

I mean, they did warn players about quest being very long

RandomEOS2026-01-14 15:27

the comment section here must be blind or what, they literally giving you saving point and you guys still complain

Neracca2026-01-16 07:25

It took me roughly 4 hours to do both acts, but at least I can weekly beat Dottore for the crimes he committed now

Standard_Canary21852026-01-14 16:51

longer quests without break, time gated story quests, . whats next 🪦

D-C-R-E2026-01-14 17:12

Seriously, those quests are way too long. Just goes on and on. Something for the weekend then.

UpstairsCamp16412026-01-14 17:20

It was cutscene hell.

Pleasant-Economy71432026-01-14 17:51

I was scared of having to sit through a bunch of tedious dialogue again so I didn't log out and just finished it💀 now I'm tired

KomaKiley2026-01-14 17:55

You can just back out at most points and it saves.

GolldenFalcon2026-01-14 18:42

Alright 4-5 hours is shorter than the previous ones. Not bad.

MrYuntu2026-01-14 18:50

How did you finish this in 4-5 hours, it took me 5 hours to get through the first act. How am I so slow I just let dialogue play out :(

cimahel2026-01-14 19:07

at certain times during the quest (outside of dialogues and cytscenes) you can pres esc and you can pause and leave. a portal thing will appear in nashs town to continue.

You can do resins even in the middle of the cutscene. My game crashed and when I opened it again I spawned on the map/overworld where its possible to spend resin (I used this time yo lower my graphic settings) and there is an entrypoint to enter the cutscene again

ohoni2026-01-14 21:41

Yeah, Jesus. I'm not even done yet and it's been two feature films in a row.

I am really enjoying this story, but they REALLY need to figure out a way to bundle it into smaller packages that only take 30-60 minutes tops to complete, drop you out, and allow you to opt back into them later.

ermwellackshually2026-01-15 01:19

They already have. This post is just wrong.

Multiple times during the AQ I dropped out to do other things. Each time I was back in the overworld and could do whatever I wanted before going back into the AQ.

ohoni2026-01-15 01:37

Weird, that didn't happen to me at all. It was almost entirely cutscene to cutscene. I got a few of those "mission complete" banners, but then got kicked instantly into the next cutscene. I once or twice had *some* control over a character, even once having access to my "out of story" party, but this was still inside the story mode itself, without access to teleports or other features. The only way I was able to access the rest of the game was to actively cancel story mode, which works, but is not an ideal experience.

I think a better way to handle it would have been to just bundle it into smaller chapters of 1-2 of those specific character scenes in a row, then boot you back out fully to the "your world, your party," open world, and then let people go to a different location to start the next step in the quest.

>The only way I was able to access the rest of the game was to actively cancel story mode, which works, but is not an ideal experience

This is what I meant. I did this a few times because I was too busy to play for hours straight.

But I don't really see why it isn't an ideal experience. I want Hoyo to be able to write stories without awkward chunks of time where you sit and wait (to justify you going back to "your world, your party") so that the story can have some level of urgency within itself.

I think it could have been explained more clearly, given the obvious confusion in this thread, but narratively I feel it was a good solution for immersion.

TaqeSnow2026-01-14 22:57

4-5 hours .... so if I have like 1 hour today and will have like 1-2 hours tomorrow means I can't do the quest becouse it will lock me from doing dailies tomorrow?

Then_Cauliflower_1202026-01-14 22:58

In the end, after a month, few people remember these missions.

D0cJack2026-01-14 23:02

4 for both? It took me about 4 hours for one and about the same for the other.

Available_Student2222026-01-14 23:06

Do you know how long each quest takes?

Mr_7ups2026-01-14 23:17

Genshin players truly can’t read. Everytime the loading screen says saving you can take a break, so like every 20-30 min. God this is hopeless how many people are complaining this time

xtwelve02026-01-14 23:31

This is really simple. Just finish the current character. When it switches to a new character you can take a break.

Or take a break in the middle a character’s section but have to redo some it again.

The safest break points are the characters switching. So just stop at the beginning of a new character section.

Mr_F1xEr2026-01-14 23:45

so no AQ for me coz I can do only 3 hours

Archaros2026-01-15 00:01

I've been spamming F for 2 hours while watching youtube... Skip button, when ?

I just want to unlock the weekly boss and get the primos !

atlasmothz2026-01-15 00:29

wish they said this before last patch, i didnt get to finish selenic chronicles :,\]

Whole_Pirate_96162026-01-15 00:43

I also wanted to finish just the first act today and I was scared I would have to redo a lot if I quit. Last time I had to skip an hour worth of dialogue when I quit early. not to mention I would have liked to do some other stuff in game as well. Honestly I preferred the way they used to do quest's before where I could just go off adventuring at any time and exploring the new areas instead of being stuck for hours without end in sight

RandomEOS2026-01-15 01:09

this is the post and comment section proves that why hoyo should leave community alone and ignore their opinion

hamsteremperor2026-01-15 21:52

I love my internet randomly disconnecting during a 20 minute boring cutscene with unskippable animations so then I get to replay/rewatch he entire thing from the beginning 🥰🥰🥰

mattgadget2026-01-16 03:22

story design is so not considerate, i plan my time to play game. end up sit there cannot do anything other than choose some dialog and kill by boss.

just auto play everything at least i can enjoy like a movies

Fresh_Sock86602026-01-17 13:28

Holy mother of time wasters. All those small things like the inability to press X without the game preventing it for a variable length of time, the move 0.5 meters in this direction to trigger the next part of the dialogue. And now I'm serving tea with a giant who moves at the speed of slug? Does Genshin hate its players?

qlbit2026-01-20 00:11

I think the game is maintained by psychopaths. Everything is designed to make you feel every wasted minute on all these neurally generated, drawn-out stories. So our brains think that since so much time has been spend, this thing must be of great importance and we don't want to lose it or abandon it.
