Anniversary buff with a double banner for Genshin, it did pretty well all things considered. Neither Vesna nor Vodyanitsa are what you might call particularly Hyped units, but they both god enough involvement in the story and have solid places in the current meta with Stellar Swirl and Freeze teams respectively. There's probably gonna be a steep drop around 7.2 but for everyone who's decided to roll for Fish and Fairy, there's someone else who decided to save their Primos for the next characters.

Mitya has also been pretty popular with the fanbase, so we can already tell he's gonna stabilize user spending until the following patch, when the Tsaritsa should probably be getting released, as the case tends to be.

All in all, Genshin has been keeping a pretty good pace since Nod-Krai ended and I wounder what the average month spending will look like once we get to the end of Snezhnaya.

Despite how much Twitter and Reddit hate on it, I definitely think Miliastra was a good call for Hoyo with how stable the revenue has been since it released. The game has only dipped below $40m twice in the last 12 months.

Majority of the complaints just seem to come from people who want Hoyo to cater to their wants. Or schedule the game around their personal circumstances. Or both.

I just hope they don't bend over to the Devs Listened meme and just do their thing backed up by surveys and internal gathered data.

Also Western players in general. Milliastra blew tf up in China and became their Roblox.

u/ScarletSyntax Genshin Impact 4h ago

This is the biggest thing to me. I stopped wondering what made them do it as soon as I learned Roblox was blocked in China.

I just hope they don't bend over to the Devs Listened meme and just do their thing backed up by surveys and internal gathered data.

I hope so too, anyone who still after 6 years wants materials to be farmed on any day of the week is dumb and should just go play Wuwa.

My problem with Miliastra is more about it's implementation than its content. I still believe it would have been better if they had integrated it more with the teapot system that already created spaces.

Also should have pushed the mannequin more as a customizable character people could use as an OC with like in-game craftable clothes and weapon choice. (And like have made the mannequin a better character as well tbh, because they just really suck so badly.)

But Genshin's unused potential is just fluff in the end. The game is good for what it is, and wanting it to be better is just the result of an overactive imagination.

This doesn't include the Top Up Center which a lot of people are moving towards to.

u/Defiant-Seat5425 6h ago

mitya is like durin he pretty hyped character now, probably gonna make as much or more

5

u/GeForce_GTX_1050Ti 5h ago

Would be funny if they make Mitya fly-able by the scarf dragging his neck toon style and Durin still have to run lol

5

u/Defiant-Seat5425 5h ago

that's kinda funny when mitya himself is a scientist but defying logic like cartoon lol

apparently if you are not from nod krai or mondstadt you can get a half decent exploration skill cause sandrone got her hover chair

6

u/kuraokami89 6h ago

Even Valeriy was hype despite 4 star character

2

u/Defiant-Seat5425 5h ago

yeah he like ororon such a waste that he a 4 star with that cool design lol

u/StreetWatercress8609 6h ago edited 5h ago

October is gonna be a low month for genshin because its rerun only and with no battle pass buff

5

u/Talia_Black_Writes 5h ago

Definitely, especially since it's both Escoffier and Skirk's second rerun and that team in particular has notoriously bad vertical investment. If you want to improve your Skirk team, you're better off pulling the fish if you already have Escoffier

13

u/kuraokami89 6h ago

No spending event by the way, Valeriy was mentioned so much in JP and KR.

8

u/TheCapybara9 5h ago

Stable Genshin is Stable. It doesn't seem to need injections like those. It just does better than games who do it anyway with its incredible passive revenue.

3

u/Armalord1 4h ago

There was a top up reset and MW finallt has a double value currency. Legit the best form of "spending" event.

11

u/Gargooner 6h ago

I'm expecting 38M for Mitya tbh.

12

u/Particular_Web3215 Jenshin | Limbus 6h ago

i am skipping him cause i already have yae and i need to save for the empress and her orca maid.

5

u/Gargooner 6h ago

Same here.

Unfortunate, i really like him, but i kinda blew it all on C1R1 Vodya lmao. So i need to properly save for Tsaritsa and Danica. I'll also go for Noy.

12

u/Particular_Web3215 Jenshin | Limbus 6h ago

leaks sub were swearing up and down that John Door of all characters would be a 5 star over Danica, but it would be very stupid of hoyo to not capitalise on the animal maid trope (even if she's fully human). now they are crashing out when she keeps appearing in game and having some of the best moments among the snez cast

6

u/TheCapybara9 6h ago

Ironically the thing they've been upset the most about is that Valeryi's kit doesn't turn him into a bear. Which, you know, kinda understandable. It would've been badass.

7

u/Particular_Web3215 Jenshin | Limbus 6h ago

it doesn't help that valeriy is stuck as mitya bodyguard and getting no characterisation of his own.

1

u/masternieva666 5h ago

Same i like Mitya but Tsaritsa is definitely the next banner and if her sig is the spear i also need to get it.

2

u/WootzieDerp 5h ago

Apparently it's a bow. Buy then again, she might be throwing spears anyways

1

u/Particular_Web3215 Jenshin | Limbus 5h ago

Guess she's learning form the school of fate archers

2

u/WootzieDerp 4h ago

The trailer showed her holding that big ass spear when facing Ronova. Hope the trailer is canon and she uses that spear and Ronova is still alive.

Archer Class is Truly made up of archers.

2

u/Fluid-Sort-7699 6h ago

Me I'm gonna skip him too(I have yae C1). Now I am still hesitating on which weapon banner I pull this patch. I want  Vesna sword (a good general weapon) and the 4 star are good or skirk weapon banner bother weapon are good for me but I don't know about the 4 star.

8

u/fantafanta_ 6h ago

Could be lower if the Cryo Archon is coming out in the following one.

15

u/Gargooner 6h ago

eh big doubt, Genshin is insanely stable that honestly everyone has a chance to score high one way or another. Durin got 40M and his banner was a patch before Bina.

4

u/fantafanta_ 6h ago

I wasn't expecting much lower but it has been a trend for the characters before and after a Archon or Archon like with Columbina to be noticeably lower. Then again, Mitya is loved by so many that it probably won't matter. Even I'm getting him after getting Vesna and Vod this patch.

6

u/kuraokami89 6h ago

I think you should mention Valeriy, he has some fans from JP and KR

1

u/fantafanta_ 6h ago

I keep forgetting the guy honestly 😅

6

u/Grenboom GI, HSR, ZZZ, and WuWa 6h ago

I doubt it Mitya is extremely popular, is an alternative subdps to Yae in stellar conduct, and is likely going to keep getting his main dps buffed over the next few versions of the beta.

2

u/kuraokami89 6h ago

Maybe much lower since archon is coming

9

u/Talia_Black_Writes 5h ago

Eh, Durin still made around 40 million and he was right before.

5

u/Reasonable_Key_9822 6h ago

If he hit 40 its a miracle considdering how scuffed global revenye is now 🤡

4

u/Gargooner 5h ago

Honestly i believe. At worst probably 32M

2

u/Arleif 4h ago

Hope they don't always have double banner for Genshin, I prefer it to be separate first half and second half

•

u/aircarone 48m ago

Tbf it's pretty rare for Genshin to have 2 new banners in a single patch let alone a double one. I don't expect it to happen too often (and really hope it doesn't).
