Mistake N°1: Pulling to Build Pity in Genshin Impact

Starting with the One Practice That Has Bothered Me the Most Ever Since I Realized Its Existence. I’m Not Sure How This All Started. Perhaps from All the Misdirected Advice from Inexperienced Gacha Players Suddenly Playing Genshin Impact. This Is Such a Bad Practice That Part of Myself Can’t Help but Feel That Anyone Claiming They’re Pulling “Just to Build Pity” Is Trolling.

What About Pulling for a New 4-Star Character on the Banner of an Unwanted 5-Star Character?

As for When There’s a New 4-Star Character Featured on the 5-Star Character You Don’t Want to Pull For, It’ll Always Be Best to Wait. Pulling Only for a 4-Star Character Is the Same as Pulling on Weapon Banners. It’s Something Only Whales Should Do. Don’t Do It as a F2P Player.

Genshin Impact Is Way Too Easy to Care About the Meta

This Is Especially True in the Case of Genshin Impact, a Game with Pretty Much No Difficulty Whatsoever. If You Find Genshin to Be Difficult Outside of Abyss Floor 12, It’s Likely You Wouldn’t Be Able to Fully Utilize the Meta Even If You Had a “Strong” Character Anyway. Pretty Much the Only Exception to That Rule Is Zhongli.

Genshin Impact Mistake N°3: Skipping Dialogues

This One Is More Objective Than the Others and Is Bordering “You’re Playing the Game the Wrong Way” Territory. but Rather Than Newcomers, This Is Definitely Something That Experienced Gacha Players Are Prone to Do.

The Biggest Appeal of Genshin Impact Is Its Story

However, What’s the Main Appeal of Genshin Impact? I Personally Wouldn’t Say It’s Collecting Characters. Genshin Impact Has a Very Expensive Gacha System Overall and Few Free Rewards. It’s Difficult Even for Wales to Keep up with All the New Banners and Get Every Single 5-Star Character and Weapon, Unless They’re Spending in the Thousands.

Mistake N°4: Playing Genshin Impact Even If It Feels Like Work

Genshin Impact Is a Gacha Game, So by Design, You’ll End up Having to Do Your Dailies If You Want to Save Gems. Going Through Repetitive Tasks Each Day and Each Week. If You Can’t Stand It or If the Game Feels Like a Chore, It’s Fine to Stop.

Mistake N°5: Only Playing Genshin Impact as Your “Main” Game and Not Trying out Other Games

Again, That’s a Very Subjective “Mistake”, but Genshin Impact Shouldn’t Be Your “Main” Game. If You Begin Genshin Impact Now, You Pretty Much Have over 100 Hours of Passionate Exploration, Story, and Quests Awaiting You. but You’ll Ultimately Reach a Point Where You’ve Cleared Most of the Interesting “Content”.

Play Jrpg Classics, Watch Old School Anime

As the Content Grows Thinner and You Wait for New Updates, You Should Play Other Things. There Are Hundreds of Legendary Japanese Games out There You Could Play. There Are Tons of Anime Series You Could Watch Outside of the Ongoing Popular Stuff. and You Could Always Ask Me for Recommendations in the Comments or on Twitter If You Don’t Know Where to Start.
