Genshin Impact shuns endgame content, and angers fans

Hoyoverse managed to dodge the dramas of the anniversary of Genshin Impact brilliantly … To get into the sauce a handful of days later, by revealing its roadmap for the RPG. The players indeed fell from high when they learned the intentions of the editor on the late game …

Genshin Impact shuns endgame content, and angers fans

Obviously, Genshin Impact has a knack for embarrassing itself, around the time of its birthday. This time, it was not the amount of rewards offered at the moment of blowing out the candle that angered the players, but rather a statement from the publisher, shortly after the event.

In an interview with Gamespot , Hoyoverse has indeed declared turning its back on additional endgame content on Genshin Impact. And this turnaround did not go unnoticed within the community, and sparked a lot of drama around the RPG.

Abyss and that's it?

Hoyoverse felt that the Abyss is more than enough to allow " hardcore " players to measure the effectiveness of their teams, in late game content reserved for the elite. In the interview, the publisher argues this controversial choice by explaining that more endgame content " could create an excess of anxiety among players ".

And it is precisely this little sentence that set fire to the powder on social networks. Many players and streamers then wondered how additional (but optional) "hardcore" content could stress players more, on a title that is already based on the oh so frustrating mechanics of the gatcha game .

An entire category of players put on a diet

The concern is that the most assiduous players have long been asking for more endgame content to test their limits. They are the ones who stepped up to the plate following this statement from Hoyoverse. The problem is that from the publisher's point of view, this category of players is in the minority.

Very recently, a redditor brilliantly summed up the problem.

He explains in his post that associating rewards provided with the completion of endgame content could be badly experienced by the vast majority of players. On paper, Hoyoverse is not wrong, since reserving rewards for a category of players who have a lot of characters and artifacts could lead to frustration among others.

But now, nothing obliges Hoyoverse to complete these endgame completions with kilos of primogems. The success of endgame content could very well result in a few anecdotal cosmetics, or a handful of artifacts. Everyone would find something there. And fans uninterested in the laborious combat wouldn't feel frustrated.

Genshin Impact

With its radical response, Hoyoverse gives the impression of frankly turning its back on a whole segment of its community. And the publisher thus offers himself a controversy that he could very well have avoided. To close a birthday party that had succeeded in satisfying everyone, it's not crazy.
