I’ve a beef with HoYoverse, and it’s form of ridiculous. Yesterday, I used to be chilling in Discord with some associates and ended up going off on a rant about this. It’s not something really severe, nevertheless 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 lots of you probably know, HoYo launched character outfits to its video games a while again. If I keep in mind appropriately, they began with outfit adjustments in Genshin Affect. Some are free objects 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 recent appears to be like.
We’ve gotten a number of new outfits for our characters in Genshin Affect, 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 already know who hasn’t acquired a brand new look? The principle character. The character whose story it’s. The Traveler and the Trailblazer are nonetheless operating round in the identical appears to be like. The one factor that actually adjustments something about their look is after they get a brand new set of skills. The parts of the Traveler’s outfit that glow change colours. And, nicely, the Trailblazer acquired a brand new hat in Penacony?
Now, in case you play Zenless Zone Zero, you’ll know that the Proxies did get new outfits. Each Smart and Bell acquired new appears to be like 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 completed (They do, nevertheless it’s not really mandatory on a regular basis), now have a change of garments. Two years in, the Trailblazer remains to be rocking the identical outfit, they usually should exit onto worlds and battle.
Then there’s the poor Traveler. Look, they’ve been operating throughout Teyvat on foot for 5 years. They’ve camped out for lots of that. Sure, they’ve the teapot dimension the place they’ll 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 offered them with new outfits.
That mentioned, 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 carrying being particular. And look, I’m all for actually loving an outfit. However having the ability to change right here and there could be good. And, nicely, outfits are undoubtedly one factor I am glad to drop cash on in F2P video games.
Oh, nicely. Possibly sometime, the Traveler will be capable to do some laundry.
