Is there a point for me to play?

I've pulled all banners just for fun I guess. Never hoarded my wishes at all. Now that I look at my characters though I can see that I've got no Nod-Krai characters. With meta declining in use of any characters but current banner-holders I can't seem to find a reason to continue playing this game. The story ain't much, Nod-Krai has zero exploration reward, just a flat rock with chests randomly scattered around, meta relies on Lunar reactions (couldn't even get Columbina, got Qiqi instead bruh). Anyone else feel like genshin has gone to shit since, maybe, Sumeru? Idk man

If you are not having fun and think game has gone to shit since 3+ year ago you should just quit.

SanicHegehag2026-01-30 14:54

Zero exploration rewards? Brother, what kind of drugs are you on?

Also, unless you're playing Stygian Onslaught on Fearless or Dire, you don't need to worry about the Lunar characters *at all*.

Stop caring about the meta and you’ll enjoy the game more.

If I do so, then the only thing left will be the story, and its, idk, fine? Seen better. The whole gacha thing is gone if I stop caring about character meta and that's mostly why I feel so down in the first place

If you think story has been unenjoyable since Sumeru. Then the game is probably not for you. Nod Krai has imo the best Archon Quest so far. If you didn't enjoy it at all, then future updates are very likely not for you as well.

Then just quit at that point.

Nah, it got worse not in terms of story. It got better since Mondstadt, surely. Sumeru simply introduced dendro element and idk, I felt like I'm far behind what Hoyo expects of me when my only dendro character was Collei, and now I feel the same

YH_Kuro2026-01-30 15:11

Not sure how invested you are in Meta discussions, but the Dendro element was one of the most player friendly introductions in the history of the meta. Just Dendro Traveler, who everybody has, with the easiest to build reaction Hyperbloom was absolutely destroying endgame content with almost no investment needed. Also just the Dendro element buffing specifically struggling characters like Keqing and not buffing (at the time) meta dps like Raiden was very well designed (ignoring Hyperbloom Raiden, I just want to highlight the introduction of Quicken in the meta).

Lunar reactions are not like that unfortunately and the meta has gone pretty annoying with shilling and powercreep.

If you're looking for a gacha that doesn't have this stuff, then you just simply shouldn't be playing gacha games. It is how it is. Better just play normal single player JRPGS, there are plenty amazing ones out there.

Genshin is very similar to Zeldas, BOTW and TOTK but It's much bigger in content, but that powercreep really kills me and I have some damage dealing characters that are considered very strong. And the point of this post is to maybe rant a bit, but mostly hear opinions, maybe that'll give me some hope lol

YH_Kuro2026-01-30 15:46

Fair. Games that really give off the nostalgic BOTW/TOTK feeling are pretty few that don't start feeling bland, especially if you enjoy the anime art style.

There is also the option to just play every few months. Enjoy the exploration/story updates, quit the game for some time and return some time later once there are some new areas to explore or new stories to play.

In the first place, why even care about meta? I personally love the combat system that I cannot find in any other RPGs I played and that made me invested. If you don't feel that way, just ignore the meta and play normally. Abyss 11 is still easily doable for any of the usually "low tier dps", Stygian Primo rewards take no more than 5 minutes sitting in coop. Theater is a bit hard to judge, gotta admit.

Other than that, 99% of the remaining game is just play who you want, meta and powercreep are completely irrelevant here. So just ignore meta and have fun.

ciao_chan732026-01-30 15:49

Yeah, maybe there's a point. I'll sit a bit longer, roll for Zibae because I've heard she works good even with the 4-star characters of her own banner.

TheSherman5002026-01-30 14:55

What did you like about the game in the first place that has gotten worse?

HuTaosTwinTails2026-01-30 14:56

Sounds like you should just quit.

Pristine-Pop19672026-01-30 15:00

Video games have always been a pointless waste of time unless you're doing this to earn money. Welcome back to the real world.

The_Cheeseman832026-01-30 15:04

Genshin feels exactly the same to me as it did at launch, there’s just way more of it, now. I happen to like it, and as long as they keep updating with new characters to build and new lands to explore, I’m in for the long haul.

Sounds like you’re no longer enjoying the game, so I suggest you try quitting. Don’t play a game if you aren’t having fun.

ciao_chan732026-01-30 15:09

It is true, yes. Felt like just farming up around 50 pulls to reach full pity and just deleting. But damn, I really wish to give this game a chance for once, to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed similar games. Zibae is my only hope since, I believe, she doesn't need much 5-star characters to dish out damage.

The_Cheeseman832026-01-30 15:13

If you aren’t enjoying the game, pulling a new character isn’t going to change that. A new character doesn’t change the fundamental minute-by-minute gameplay loop—if that isn’t fun to you now, no new character will suddenly make it fun.

LonelyPanda_062026-01-30 15:10

just quit if you don't enjoy it anymore. We random people from the internet can't make you like the game ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

because personally, I'm enjoying the game so.. yeaa

don't force yourself to play a game you don't enjoy

Puzzlehead_Lemon2026-01-30 15:15

I do not feel the same, but it's safe to say it's long past time for you to find another game. Check it out in a year or so if you want, but life is too damn short to keep playing something you don't enjoy anymore. I hope you find something you enjoy as much or more than early Genshin.

kunsore2026-01-30 15:24

Your point: " just for fun" - if you don't feel it fun with pulling random character then take a break.

I took a long break between middle of Sumeru and Fontain, came back and enjoyed the game more than ever.

ciao_chan732026-01-30 15:31

Well I did take a break. Now it's Nod-Krai and that powercreep got hands. So now I need to pull again to at least form two good parties that'll actually do shit.

OmniOnly2026-01-30 15:49

Do you do anything warranting META?

Apprehensive_Shift702026-01-30 16:50

i been playing genshin until now and enjoying it, i don't think it has gone to shit

Propensity72026-01-30 16:59

It doesn't sound like there's a point for you tonplay, no. If you stop liking something, then you stop doing it, assuming it's not a necessity like eating. If you stop liking a show, then you stop watching. There's nothing wrong with that

Xirtie2026-01-30 19:38

We're not playing the same game if you thought the game has gone to shit since Sumeru...

And Sumeru, really???? It's literally where the story picked up after the rather controversial Inazuma AQ, and its continued upwards since then.

lostn2026-01-31 06:31

no point
