I’ve a beef with HoYoverse, and it’s sort of ridiculous. Yesterday, I used to be chilling in Discord with some pals and ended up going off on a rant about this. It’s not something really severe, however it’s one thing that bugs me sufficient for a rant.
It has to do with the outfits given to characters of their video games. As a lot of you possible know, HoYo launched character outfits to its video games a while again. If I keep in mind accurately, they began with outfit adjustments in Genshin Influence. Some are free gadgets given for finishing occasions or quests. Others, you purchase immediately from the store. Actually, it’s a great way to generate income. Gamers love dressing up their characters and giving them contemporary seems to be.
We’ve gotten a number of new outfits for our characters in Genshin Influence, together with an outfit for Klee that’s paying homage to her mother’s apparel. Honkai: Star Rail has given us a number of outfits as nicely. We even acquired a brand new outfit for March seventh when she was coaching to make use of the sword.
In each circumstances, nevertheless, you realize who hasn’t acquired a brand new look? The primary character. The character whose story it’s. The Traveler and the Trailblazer are nonetheless working round in the identical seems to be. The one factor that basically adjustments something about their look is after they get a brand new set of talents. The parts of the Traveler’s outfit that glow change colours. And, nicely, the Trailblazer acquired a brand new hat in Penacony?
Now, should you play Zenless Zone Zero, you’ll know that the Proxies did get new outfits. Each Clever and Bell acquired new seems to be when 2.0 dropped. And that’s when it hit me. These two, who don’t even actually have to go away their video retailer to get work performed (They do, however it’s not really mandatory on a regular basis), now have a change of garments. Two years in, the Trailblazer continues to be rocking the identical outfit, and so they must exit onto worlds and combat.
Then there’s the poor Traveler. Look, they’ve been working throughout Teyvat on foot for 5 years. They’ve camped out for lots of that. Sure, they’ve the teapot dimension the place they will construct a pleasant home and all. However nonetheless, there’s an terrible lot of tenting out and combating.
It’s been 5 years, HoYo. The Traveler deserves a change of garments. So does the Trailblazer, if I’m being sincere. They’re on the market doing a little heavy lifting for the universe. However the Traveler’s been ready the longest. And it’s not like they don’t know vogue specialists. Somebody may have supplied them with new outfits.
That stated, the Traveler was provided an outfit as soon as, however we weren’t really allowed to take it. You solely had the choice to say no and make some remark concerning the outfit you’re sporting being particular. And look, I’m all for actually loving an outfit. However with the ability to change right here and there can be good. And, nicely, outfits are undoubtedly one factor I am comfortable to drop cash on in F2P video games.
Oh, nicely. Perhaps sometime, the Traveler will be capable of do some laundry.
