Since the arrival of update Version 5.7, Genshin Impact is challenging all players for some whirlwind experiences! This update is named “A Space and Time for You,” and is assured to come with some exciting events, but the community response has been a delightful pandemonium of hype, frustrations, and demands.
First official previews revealed Phase I of update 5.7, hinting that activities might kick-off soon in the game. On the flipside, the reactions were fairly mixed: One player attacked the lack of events by saying, “40 days and only 1 event, wow.” Yikes! Another player sadly said, “Only 54 Free Pulls 🤢,” in comparison to Genshin’s awards to those of Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero. How cruel indeed!
Then, it all spills out: More complaints from the players. The English voice acting of Paimon? That is an old wound. Many want it to be done again. One user bluntly said, “recast paimon eng va we beg” while another said, “For the love of christ recast en paimon va asap.” The sharp voice is hardly endearing.
Then the character banner wars began. A player was mad about Navia’s placement, ranting, “Why did they put Navia in first? To give us this horrible character banner?!” Meanwhile, Freminet supporters felt utterly ignored, with one lamenting, “Genshin must really hate freminet because this is the 3rd time diona has a rerun and ever since I started Genshin, freminet hasn’t rerun ONCE!”
A few tried to keep the positive spirit amidst the chaos, with one yelling, “mb guys im gonna get all the 50 pulls for this patch 🔥🔥🔥,” while another said, “I’ll get mine now.” But then, the ambush of QoL updates loomed over them, threatening to tear away their happiness, with one user begging, “Please, if it were possible, it would be amazing to add a Story Recap option in Genshin Impact, like in Honkai Star Rail.”
By the way, remember those “first clear rewards” shown in the preview? Players have been trying to figure out exactly what they are with one asking, “What are these ‘first clear rewards?’ Is it primos? Or some exp or extras?” Although the rumors say they are some kind of one-time bonus for weekly bosses, the details are rather sketchy.
So, what’s the verdict? Genshin Impact 5.7 is shaping up to be another divisive update. Some players are ready to dive in while others side-eye the lack of content and vocalize their frustrations. Whether you’re excited or not-so-hyped, one thing is for sure: the community is getting louder. Now if miHoYo would just listen.
For now, all we can do is keep our fingers crossed and see the impact that “A Space and Time for You” makes on the game whether it comes bearing good news to players or leaves them yearning for more. In the meantime, just hope you’ve gathered enough primogems!
