In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their critique of daily quests and the battle pass system in two different games. They mention that while the daily quests system has been improved in one game through a recent patch, it still feels lacking compared to another game. The speaker shares their daily routine and thoughts on the efficiency of completing quests using a new system. They also touch on recent changes due to Chinese laws, which may affect daily quests, but note that these changes were rolled back. Additionally, the speaker expresses a desire for more levels and a complete rework of the battle pass system in one of the games, noting that while some improvements have been made, more significant changes are needed.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the potential extension of a battle pass from level 50 to 100, suggesting that rewards should double and not be too difficult to achieve. They emphasize that reaching the maximum level should grant cosmetic items like skins or gliders, rather than just functional rewards, to enhance enjoyment and incentivize purchases. The speaker also reflects on the importance of replaying old events in games like Genshin Impact, proposing a feature similar to the “Pensive” from Harry Potter or a red ley line to relive past content. They stress that implementing such features should be straightforward and express frustration at the absence of highly requested updates.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various features and improvements they wish to see in Genshin Impact, inspired by those already present in another game. Some key topics covered include the need for a system to reserve and overfill resin, preventing it from going to waste when players aren’t logged in daily, and the benefits of such a system for more casual players or those who take frequent breaks. The speaker also touches on the endgame content, specifically mentioning a revamped Spiral Abyss system that allows players to retry any completed floor without re-doing the entire progression. They emphasize a desire for more varied endgame content and critique the misunderstandings from a previous interview about the game’s future content.
00:12:00
In this segment, the speaker discusses the addition of endgame content similar to the Spiral Abyss in a popular game, suggesting that while more Spiral Abyss content might not be necessary, different types of endgame content could be beneficial. Examples suggested include a tower system or a boss rush mode. The speaker addresses misconceptions about combat endgame content, emphasizing that the developers never ruled it out. The discussion then shifts to comparing features of two games made by the same company, noting similarities in their systems but highlighting different features, like the ability to skip earlier floors in one game. The speaker criticizes repetitive content in the Spiral Abyss, advocating for an option to skip floors already completed multiple times. Finally, the speaker clarifies they are not favoring one game over the other but pointing out strengths in each, such as Genshin Impact’s superior storytelling and pacing.

In this segment, the speaker discusses various quality of life improvements in two games: ‘Genin’ and ‘Honkai Star Rail.’ They note that comparing these games is difficult due to their different formats—one being turn-based and linear, the other open-world. Some key improvements in ‘Genin’ include the Expedition Renewal, allowing one-click dispatch for expeditions, a feature seen in ‘Honkai Star Rail’ but requiring interaction with a specific NPC.
Further enhancements in ‘Genin’ include a better artifact filtering system, which speeds up the leveling process. The speaker appreciates these updates, attributing them to competition from ‘Honkai Star Rail,’ which has seemingly accelerated ‘Genin’s’ commitment to quality of life improvements. However, they also wish ‘Genin’ would address long-standing community requests rather than making random, albeit beneficial, changes.
In ‘Honkai Star Rail,’ daily tasks have become easier but less significant, as changes to the battle pass system make these tasks largely unnecessary. The speaker finds these updates curious, noting that the new system prioritizes ‘spend resin’ tasks, simplifying progression. While these changes are appreciated, they speculate on their necessity and timing, given the already easy nature of daily tasks in both games.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their thoughts on the improvements in games like Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact, expressing appreciation for the reduced need to play daily.

Additionally, the speaker speculates about the upcoming anniversary of Honkai Star Rail, predicting a resetting of top-up bonuses rather than major gifts like a free five-star character. They also foresee community unrest depending on the quality of the anniversary rewards. Finally, the speaker thanks their patrons and members for their support and recommends viewers check out related content.
