They listened!

They have the saving screen in the new AQ now! I guess too many people complained about being afraid of losing progress lol

One of the greatest QoL updates. Nothing worse than quitting when you think it’s safe to quit and come back to mash trough 10 minutes of cutscene you’ve seen before.

PassionIll32812026-01-14 13:00

Bro I was doing the last parts of Act 8 when someone tried to join me. I had direct join on and after I apologized and kicked them I HAD TO DO THE DIALOGUE AGAIN. Be careful of co-op yall

randomlyjes2026-01-14 18:21

This! I definitely turned auto decline on lately while I'm doing stories, coz I finished that, now I'm doing it again since someone joined?! 😭

Neganymous2026-01-14 18:45

Thats why I turned that off quite fast at the beginning like one week after release haha
But I feel you! That Update is love! Didn't know that yet so damn yeah!

Any_Lack67712026-01-19 01:44

Yeah just don't co op ever lol.

Don't interrupt my party dynamic. Don't steal my resources. Don't interrupt my quests. No one needs to be in my world but me unless you are an actual friend

YamiH3L2026-01-19 14:20

True

YamiH3L2026-01-19 14:20

That's one of the reasons why i don't have the auto accept joinings thing activated xD

Other is that I am kinda antisocial lol but sometimes I try to give chances

PassionIll32812026-01-19 21:17

I love co-oping too much to turn it off😔

YamiH3L2026-01-19 21:22

I like it too, but with friends or REAL friendly people. But still I have it like "ask me if I want a random person joining my world" instead of "definitely closed, no one can enter" hahahaha

PassionIll32812026-01-19 21:28

Yeah unfortunately not too many people join these days lol. I usually have requests turned on but I also love being jumpscared by my own co-ops lmao

YamiH3L2026-01-21 04:30

Well, that's a point: a matter of tastes hahaha
And yes, not as many people send requests to join one's world anymore. But still, I play on European server and I still get requests from unknown people, hahaha.

sk77252026-01-14 18:43

note that the saves are actually more frequent than that screen. The loading right before Hat Guy & Albedo goes inside one of Dottore's balls is a standard loading screen but it is actually a save point.

Possible_Answer90892026-01-15 01:21

Going inside Dottore's balls huh...-

Richardknox19962026-01-15 04:44

Have to make sure he cant pull a Bhaal and come back.

Dazzling-Trash-35922026-01-16 03:47

What a way to word that 😭😭😭

OPT-Yosif2026-01-14 22:24

this reminded me of the aranara quest,one of the only things in this game that almost smashed my phone

SHTPST_Tianquan2026-01-14 09:16

great QoL that addresses one of the major points of debate back during Luna II.

It's weird that they don't announce these changes though

leoycchan2026-01-14 17:27

Unless it applies to past quests as well, it feels more like a unique loading screen with the same hidden saving behaviour as before.

gxplnet2026-01-14 09:21

Why don't people talk more about this?

Huge indeed!

Finally some peace of mind for some of us that may be interrupted.

TacoTuesdayay12026-01-14 10:39

So true, they’re letting us know that our progress isn’t gone or wasted!

keqking2026-01-14 11:08

They didn't read that part but complained anyway

parrotandpeacock2026-01-14 12:08

I guess people didn't start AQ yet.

iAmMutun2026-01-14 14:09

Evidently, because it's easier to ignore what's on the screen, and to make a post complaining about long archon quest, like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/s/rXTIZBdHEK

Just finished it myself, with multiple breaks, and confused to see that post on the top of my reddit feed. Like, what?

EDIT: On the matter of resin, the start of the quest also had a long quest warning, but that also seemed to be ignored. Sure, it doesn't explicitly tell us to spend resin, but like, if that's their concern why didn't they spend it before starting the quest.

SectorApprehensive582026-01-14 16:50

Besides, how much resin could you possibly lose from an hour at max of unbreakable cutscenes anyways....

shadedmystic2026-01-14 23:46

I mean it’s not the resin during the cut scene. I logged off mid AQ this morning to go to work. If I can’t log on tonight/tomorrow morning to spend resin before doing the other several hours of the AQ I’d be wasting it

ermwellackshually2026-01-15 01:39

I took multiple breaks during the AQ and each time I could spend resin or do whatever I wanted in the overworld before going back to the AQ.

shadedmystic2026-01-15 01:40

Yes you can do that but it isn’t clear unless you actually sign out of the game that you can. Most of the AQ have moments you go back into normal mode but this one gave you a warning it would be long and then pushes you from one scene to the next with no break unless you sign out(as far as I’ve gotten so far at least because I haven’t finished)

ermwellackshually2026-01-15 01:45

I guess I see how it could be misleading, but when the loading screen says "saving" and then you hit escape it basically tells you that you can exit the special mode and resume from the save point (or something to that effect).

I agree it could have been clearer, but it's at least moderately intuitive IMO

shadedmystic2026-01-15 02:17

That requires you to exit. I’m playing on console so there isn’t an escape button to hit. As far as I know I have to actually close the app for it to let me back out. It’s not the end of the world it would just be nice to have some more clear jumping off points

pagerunner-j2026-01-14 09:39

Definitely a welcome (and reassuring) change!

chenhowe2026-01-14 09:43

This was alr in the game, they just added an indicator to tell you

Grand_Protector_Dark2026-01-14 09:44

Ok that's the point?

Having an actual indicator makes quite a difference.

chenhowe2026-01-14 09:46

Just telling ppl that it existed before this update

Mobile-Ad-29482026-01-14 09:49

It was already known. Ppl were just annoyed that they had no such indicator.

chenhowe2026-01-14 09:52

It sadly wasnt that well known as evidently by this post
https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/s/rXTIZBdHEK

Mobile-Ad-29482026-01-14 09:55

Alright, I better add "mostly known" haha

Lin_Mie2026-01-14 09:44

And people with can't read syndrome still saying no save slot ☠️☠️

mr_beanoz2026-01-14 09:45

Now hopefully there's a toggle to not automatically activate a quest to be implemented in the future...

Wirawicak2026-01-14 11:37

What's the interval.....??? Or is it randomly saving progress...?? I can only do AQ night time, and sometimes fall asleep and occasionally half awake to shut the game.

Kinto9x2026-01-14 11:45

Yea but a lot of people seem to be ignoring it and complaining about not being able to stop the quest, it's such a great quest too and it's sad some people can't fully enjoy it because they think they have to do it all in one go

Augustus30002026-01-14 12:18

Excellent! Now if only people would be able to read that word on the screen before coming here to complain that they’ll lose their progress in the quest and they’re stuck unless they continue, hmm..

Leading_Storage48732026-01-14 12:40

Now we need a skip button

Flysoarflight2026-01-14 12:47

THANK GOD

lostguru2026-01-14 12:47

Is this only for the new archon quest, or does this also apply to past archon quests?

Alpha06Omega092026-01-14 13:25

Anytime you got a tp screen it saves, they just added a indicator

XxTheLeoxX2026-01-14 17:12

Tp screen?

perfectchaos832026-01-14 17:50

Teleport.

PassionIll32812026-01-14 19:43

The seven elements screen

EllipticAeon2026-01-15 11:07

Individual_Inside_752026-01-14 12:49

I like this progress, yet these should appear more often

7Accel2026-01-14 15:04

Devs listened. Some players are still not reading. (They miss this function and proceed to immediately complaining)

niceworkthere2026-01-14 15:14

Darn it, thumb had me believe they finally ended the flashbang loading by fixing the black screen triggers

CoolEnvironment49232026-01-14 15:45

So I forced to finish it if I want to do daily? Yay

PassionIll32812026-01-14 15:49

If you want to do your dailies, do what I did. First, get to a point in the story where you’re in another dimension, where you have to go “talk to Sandrone” or something like that. Leave the dimension, you can safely ignore the warnings they give you, do your dailies, and come back whenever. In my experience it would always save right where I was

CoolEnvironment49232026-01-14 16:09

It worked tysm, I thought I had to complete the main story before I could do the daily quests, which would cost me 180 primo and waste tons of resin since I only have \~ 2 hours per day

Wonderful-Picture4762026-01-14 16:36

Still a bummer there isn't artifact loadouts.

Nil_Velox2026-01-14 17:00

Right!? Almost had a heart attack when my power went out earlier thankfully the save point was so close. I thought I'd have to restart.

Pristine-Bread99232026-01-14 17:52

literally was so happy when i noticed this last night because it was like 2am almost and i was getting sleepy (i’d be on the quest for like 2 hours already i think)! truly so thankful i could just stop and it’ll start where i left off😭

Representative-Cat462026-01-14 18:08

This was a thing? Me and my mates have been playing it for hours thinking we'd lose our progress💀 still are actually

LydiaDarkness2026-01-14 18:37

Give us a skip button instead, i'm tired of sitting here for over 2½hours now spamming F for this yap fest.

TunaTunaLeeks2026-01-14 19:09

I think it probably was there all along but it was just way more ambiguous where the check points were. This is hugely appreciated regardless. Now I know for sure when I can drop out and come back in.

PassionIll32812026-01-14 19:41

Yeah lol. I was part of the group that didn’t mind not having these because I could usually tell when it was auto saving and could leave lol. It is very nice that they now have visual identifiers. I think this does really show that Hoyo DOES read our feedback lmao

antarctous2026-01-14 19:15

omg, W Hoyo ❤️

Leading_Argument_6082026-01-14 19:30

Now if we could just skip dialog/cutscenes, this wouldn’t even be a problem. The lengthy amount of yapping in Durin’s story quest made me wanna tear out my hair.

GRS10102026-01-14 20:47

One more thing they listened to is, In the quest instead of giving Hydro Traveller they gave somewhat useful >!Hydro Traveller with Aino Skill!<

PassionIll32812026-01-14 21:27

Yes lol I was suprised when I had enough hydro until I noticed Aino's lil thing

EllipticAeon2026-01-15 11:08

It's finally not phew phe- phe- phew

Vivid-Aide-38682026-01-14 22:11

Can someone exllain

Edit: oh AQ is Archon Quest I'm slow lmao

Ezzaroth_VII2026-01-15 01:01

and yet they are STILL people complaining about it

random_gamer692026-01-15 03:35

Was it actually saving special story progress?

I was just interpreting it as us going back to Traveler captive by Dottore's POV until he was saved ._.

PassionIll32812026-01-15 16:29

This happened way before Dottore I think. This was during the first couple scenes with us about to go to Dottore’s lab. It always saves progress, even after normal dialogue. It saves between cutscenes too.

kunsore2026-01-15 04:13

FYI: If you log out middle of the quest , will be back to Teyvat with a rift to the Quest open. While the quest is long , not like we need to stay there the whole 5 hrs. Nice indeed.

PassionIll32812026-01-15 16:28

Yeah I was doing the AQ late at night (through the server reset) and when I got to the part where Albedo, Durin, and Scaramouche needed to slash open the barrier thing I got my daily welkin. I decided to get out of there to do my dailies. I returned to the exact same place I was before. The place I left didn’t have a saving screen, so I assume they save right after a dialogue finishes too.

ZestycloseAd2122026-01-15 04:43

My ISP was having issues and I was losing connection frequently, this saved a lot

Although I was stuck with Dottore's flirting for hours

ladyriven2026-01-15 06:21

Weird, I am not getting the “saving…” thing during my current AQ. I still get the graphic that cycles through the elemental symbols instead.

PassionIll32812026-01-15 16:20

It’s the same thing (auto saving), but I got this pretty early on, so I’m not sure how you don’t have it lol. Again, after this there’s like a 2-hour break where this specific loading screen doesn’t show up.

ykiigor12026-01-15 08:01

I got random DC and lost 30 min of progress, took another 10 mins of click spamming to get to the same place. Awful system. Prob need another 5 years to get more frequent checkpoints

Jaded-Philosophy37832026-01-15 09:11

I didn't understand the significance of this screen until I saw this post. Thanks!

TropicalSkiFly2026-01-15 16:02

I was definitely worried about how many cutscenes I would have to redo. Turns out I didn’t have to do any the moment I could roam freely in a certain location.

dumbreonite2026-01-15 22:13

Me: Ill try to get through a bit of the archon quest tonight
Me, 5 hours later at 2am and with work in the morning: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LET ME OUTTTTTT

TerrorPuppy2026-01-16 02:08

I got bugged on part of it where it told me to go back into the space after the flins scene

AshamedInvestment1782026-01-16 02:27

When I saw this post I thought they added skip dialogue 😒. A man can only dream

Real-Contest49142026-01-16 15:00

They always do lol.

People just hyperfixate because they don't every thing, but they do focus on helping a lot of stuff for the general playerbase who enjoy the story and exploration.

Ok_Outside21352026-01-16 20:43

it was already like this when the update came out!

PassionIll32812026-01-16 21:04

You mean Luna I? Cause I posted this literal hours after the update lmao

Ok_Outside21352026-01-16 21:05

oh sorry😭 i just got a notification about the post mb

PassionIll32812026-01-16 21:14

Oh no problem lol I get notifications way too late too. Funnily enough my own post got recommended to me on another account

angelcasta772026-01-16 20:52

Dude, I'm about to get back into the game, just pulled columbina the other night.

I don't even know what this is about. Can someone explain?

PassionIll32812026-01-16 21:03

So basically during the previous versions Archon Quests, a lot of players complained about not being able to take breaks during the quest (which, even at that time, was untrue, they just didn't have visual identifiers). The post I made is talking about how they finally did add a saving screen to reassure players about not losing progress.

angelcasta772026-01-17 01:42

Dang. Okay I can see why this is good then.

Thanks!

Ruii1792026-01-17 08:54

Definitely saved me the other day when my playstation turned off for some random reason, probably knocked the cable, but it'd also be less of an issue if they gave more breaks between dialogue, or instead of specifying we need a lot of time to do a quest tell us how much time we need to decide if we actually have the time for it or not

Cu_ed2026-01-17 11:43

All of this and still no skip button 🥀

vixen9932026-01-18 23:00

when you see this screen, do you log out the game and log back in to play freely?

PassionIll32812026-01-18 23:11

No, you wait until you can control the character and leave the domain.

NegotiationSweet58312026-01-19 01:47

The fact that this is maybe Dottere's doing. This being added out of the blue without being announced in the Livestream meant two things: 1. They secretly added it and chose to not announce it in the Livestream (but then not announcing it is literally impossible because this is a big QoL and we know hoyo won't do this) so that's why I got to number 2. They added it secretly and used it as a hint to the whole AQ. What I meant by that is remember that this AQ is centered on Dottere and he's a robot, right? So my theory is this 'saving' thing is Dottere's doing as he is spying us through the whole Quest and saving it in his memory. And the whole time we are looking at Dottere's perspective that's maybe why there's a glitch when we finished the AQ.

There's even a high possibility that this is not permanent and will only be use in this AQ.

PassionIll32812026-01-19 01:49

I never thought of it like that, but yeah this honestly makes sense lol. The columbina loading screen was sorta similar too. I do believe that they are adding more saving screens, even in future updates, just maybe not this way

NegotiationSweet58312026-01-19 01:51

I hope they did, it would be so good if they added it and make use of it in the AQ as Dottere saving files hahaha
