Genshin Impact will provide easier gameplay for players to experience in the upcoming version 4.8 update.
After various player feedback regarding gameplay, developer HoYoverse will employ a better and easier gaming experience for players to enjoy. Here are the optimizations to be introduced in version 4.8.
Encounter Points accumulation
The Adventurer Encounter Points,which was introduced in version 4.1, allowed travellers to skip tedious commission quests (we’re looking at you, Zihua’s “Good Sign”) and just use exploration or world quests to accumulate points that, when completed, can allow you to claim commission rewards easy peasy.
In 4.8, Travelers can now take even more control of their game time by allowing the accumulation of Encounter Points, which will be converted to Long-Term Encounter Points.
Long-Term Encounter Points can be converted to Encounter points through the use of 30 Original Resin, allowing players to instantly claim daily rewards.
Shortened boss respawn time
One of the recurring complaints of players is how long it takes for world bosses to respawn when farming materials to level up characters. In version 4.8, the spawn time is now reduced to 10 seconds, allowing easier and faster farming.
The shorter spawn time, however, does not include the Dominator of Wolves challenge, which is a weekly boss challenge.
Imaginarium Theatre readjustments
The newest end game content to be released for version 4.7, Imaginarium Theatre was an additional challenge to both seasoned and newbie players. However, as much as it was a welcome addition, many players complained about the level of difficulty that Imaginarium Theatre possessed.
Because of this, HoYoverse will employ further readjustments in the upcoming versions. Players can expect more user-friendly mechanisms, a continued focus on elemental reactions, as well as providing multiple instances of character acquisition.
Other miscellaneous adjustments
Here are other minor and miscellaneous adjustments:
- Spiral Abyss Party setup screen optimized
- Players can now drag character avatars when setting up parties.
- Astral Mark Status, which can be assigned to your favourite characters in the character screen, will also be added to the filter options in the Spiral Abyss Character Filter screen.
- New Review and Hide Dialogue options
- The “Dialogue Review” screen will allow players to view dialogue records or to listen to voice-overs again.
- The “Hide Dialogue” feature lets players hide dialogue text boxes during quests.
- New Hide UI features
- Players can now also hide all UI elements on the main screen for a more cinematic experience when exploring.
- Specific quests are now easier
- This adjustment is specifically for the dreaded “Anti-Raiden Shogun Training” Archon subquest, and the “License to Glide” timed challenge in Amber’s story quest.
- World Level Adjustment will now become available upon reaching World Level 3
- This will allow new players to lower difficulty when they see fit. Previously, this feature was only available to those who have attained World Level 5.
