WHY is the archon quests in nod krai so LONG

I've came back recently and i quit at the start of 6.1, I just completed the first 2 acts and working on the 3rd but why does act one feel longer than the ENTIRE natlan storyline (act 1-6,) i cant wait to do all of that over 4 more times 😃

They are very long but also very good, but you won’t enjoy it if you make it feel like a chore

It's because they incorporate character story quests in the the Archon quests

Sensitive_Goose_89022026-01-25 06:28

Because they are now archon quests with built in character quests

Not really anymore since neither varka nor zibai SQ are in the story

La-Roca992026-01-25 09:57

Specifically speaking about new regional characters, or the NK cast itself

Anyone from an older region gets its own SQ as per usual since Natlan

Case on point Mizuki,Escoffier and Skirk

Just so you know, you can leave and reenter without losing progress any time: your POV changes to a new character after a loading screen, or if you see "saving" pop up in the bottom right corner. It's not suuuper obvious, but there are several stopping points in each one

Actually thanks for that information. I held back with playing cause I haven’t had enough time yet. I was afraid of losing all progress cause I kinda heard these stories when the AQ came out.

missy202012026-01-25 07:29

Yeahhh. I do feel bad for the people who didn't realize the loading screens were like "checkpoints" and left at bad times, then had to redo a lot 😅

karillith2026-01-25 10:17

I mean those screens now display SAVING, so, yeah.

But the worst is the message when you exit the story mode it feels like you'll lose progress when you won't lose anything most of the time.

_Hadaikum_2026-01-25 13:16

It‘s also that it kinda feels wrong to leave out of special story mode where it asks you all this „Do you really want to leave stuff“
They really need to add more moments where it feels right and okay to leave and not just a little saving display in the corner yk

Empty-Branch-26332026-01-25 20:16

Thanks for that, i knew you could just leave during dialogue since i play using geforce NOW so i do it all the time but i didnt know that it shows its saving in real time

ahmadalhuraibi2026-01-25 06:35

Just skip it. spam your left click. it's long and boring.

Komiisimp2026-01-25 06:42

I put F on macro on my mouse lol

ahmadalhuraibi2026-01-25 06:49

awesome! even better to skip it faster

corecenite2026-01-25 06:39

trust me when i say this, it's just as long as natlan's AQs

SocietyAvailable45492026-01-25 07:02

wdym 4 more times?? if you did the first two acts, you’ve still got 6 to go !!

When you see the save icon, back out if you are feeling like you getting burned out. Don't feel you have to sit through 8 hours of dialog and story, that will just ruin your experience. do a little and come back later.

When I do the quests, there are like 3 main sections to an AQ, and each section has like 4 sub parts. I like to do like 2 sub parts and then pick up the next day. this has greatly increased my enjoyment of the entire story.

Thankfully it's not just me. They're starting to feel terribly long and tedious in Nod Krai.

Always starting out great, then comes a 2-hour-long slog of the characters planning and stuff, then following everyone on their little tasks, before ending the quest again with a bang.

The problem is the middle part, where there is a huge amount of dialog with little gameplay that's also not entirely necessary and could be condensed into a 1- or 2-minute montage without sacrificing important exposition. These parts feel like they were intentionally created to extend your playtime.

I've been playing Genshin for over 4 years now and have invested a lot of time and money, but for maybe the first time I feel like Hoyo isn't respecting my time with these new Archon Quests.

The latest quest was the cherry on top, with running both parts of the quest back-to-back without stopping. After 3.5 hours I had to force quit the game and continue on another day.

I'm also not quite a fan of including character stories into the Archon quests, like shoving Nefer's backstory into Rerir's quest. Then adding FOMO-incentives to low-key force players to complete the quests in a timely manner.

Because they folded the character quests into the archon quest.

Now you can't skip the dedicated character ads!

KRen_7252026-01-25 08:29

Skill issue

Ifalna_Shayoko2026-01-25 11:07

Because they are good!

BTW, you can interrupt the quest after every loading screen. Just alt+F4 and you will be put back into the normal world.

OMG SAME, I quit way back on 5.7 and speedrun through Natlan and nod krai right after, there's so much unnecessary dialogues IWKMS the planning crap really took the fun of the quest for me, now i just hate all nod krai characters

stay_mad672026-01-29 07:28

Yeah man I feel you I haven't done sumeru or Fontaine yet and I need these extra primo gems since it's limited time reward but by God it's so long
