I’m sorry but as a returning player I hate this deadline

So I’ve been playing Genshin since 2021, probably did way more than 1000 hours in this game (no way to track since I played on many different devices) and I left just after the Nathan archon quest ended due to burnout. They had these limited time exploration rewards even back then. I don’t know if anyone has complained or if it’s just me who hates it. I like that there’s an exploration reward but I hate that there’s a deadline. I want to explore the regions at my own pace and knowing there’s a reward I might miss makes me feel stressed trying to get it and I rush the region rather than enjoy it. I believe they should have these regional rewards permanently. It’s the same with these archon quest rewards too. As a new player, imagine seeing a reward for an archon quest that’s far off in the future and knowing you’ll miss it. Perhaps I’m missing the point but it takes out the fun for me.

Don’t worry too much about it, exploration in Nod Krai is stupidly easy. It’s nothing like the previous regions. You can do everything in a single day.

Hearing that makes it better. I still have the last region of Natlan to explore though, the one with Ifa and I generally do a lot of side quests. I want the rewards lol but even the archon quest and hearing you need hours and all for it sounds like I’ll miss that reward. Idk how new players feel either, having to explore a whole new region when you haven’t even been there before and seeing spoilers in the plot. I’m lucky in the case that I’m in Natlan and fairly close.

If you cant explore the current area in 80 days then you are not a "player", just a frog that connects once in a while and expend more time complaining in internet.

If it’s the case that other players feel the same way then it might get the attention of mihoyo, so it wouldn’t really be wasted. Regardless, life changes for all of us so it’s no point being rude. Some of us are just casual players. It’s a game but at the end of the day, if other people feel the same and this experience can be improved then it’s a good thing like what they did with artifact farming. If people like you don’t feel the same about this then that’s ok, this is just my personal experience as a returning player who has gone through another stage of life compared to when I first started playing and don’t have as much time anymore and I feel like it would be nice to have these as long term rewards.

1. It's only 400 Primos so literally 2,5 Fates, not a big deal.
2. You have 2 full versions to get these rewards. That's 12 weeks. Way more than enough considering how small this new region is.

The less you worry about fomo and missing out on a few events the more youll enjoy the game.

You can just do dailies and get that same amount of primos maybe even more if you keep playing slowly but at it. The 400 are just extra if you were to be at this content now and done with story.

Well its your problem things come and go time waits for no one either u take responsibility for ur time wastage or don't call yourself completionist

There are plenty of permanent rewards available to claim. Don't fall victim to fomo for 2.5 pulls. Enjoy the game at your own pace
