After a long period of silence, developer miHoYo is back with a “Developer Letter” post that reveals what’s coming in Genshin Impact 2.2 and beyond. This is probably part of an effort to appease the gaming community after a 1-year anniversary could not be worse, when the dissatisfaction that gamers have been pent up for a long time exploded.
The first is good news for gamers who missed many Gadgets in previous versions. In patch 2.2 of Genshin Impact, you will have the opportunity to buy Wind Flower Festival props such as balloons, harps, etc. They will be sold with Mora at Marjorie’s shop in Mondstadt. It’s unclear how much they cost, and it’s not clear if other event items like the Kamera will return.
- First, many effects that can block the archer’s vision when aiming will be adjusted to be more transparent, such as Zhongli’s shield.
- When you go on dates with game characters, the lines you have chosen will be saved and marked on the device. Note: it only saves on the device, so if you play with the same account on another device, the selected lines will not be saved.
- Genshin Impact 2.2 will also support the PS5 controller and its features such as vibration (Haptic Feedback) and changing force on the trigger (Adaptive Trigger). This is a rather confusing decision because on mobile, the Android version has not yet been updated to support the controller.
- The missions to protect the balloons at Inazuma are often complained by gamers (including the author) for being too long. In patch 2.2, the movement speed and health of the airship will be increased to help gamers complete this mission faster.
- The light ring behind the character when activating Raiden Shogun’s elemental skills is too bright and can cause eye strain when looking at it for a long time. Its brightness will be reduced in patch 2.2.
- In patch 2.1, a trick that gamers use to get past La Hoan on floors 12-3 easier is to turn on the book and wait 30 seconds for the Eternal Engine to switch to the new mode. This bug will be fixed in patch 2.2.
- In Serenitea pot, there will be a new feature for gamers to choose and hang pictures from dates. It is not possible to hang photos as you like, but it is also a significant upgrade.
- When going to Spiral Abyss, gamers will be able to see monsters in the next floor immediately instead of having to exit to see it like now.
- After leaving someone else’s world, gamers will be returned to the default squad instead of having to re-align themselves again. This is one of the reasons why players don’t like co-op.
- Similarly, when another person leaves your world, that person’s position will be replaced by the character in your default squad.
