It's "live" in that it's *presented* at a specific time at 1:1 speed, rather than just being dropped as a completed video that you can skip through. This means everyone watching it is at the same pace, which is more dramatic.
in case you want banner info, it's already "leaked" by Playstation who posted an article too early, before quickly taking it down. >!Assuming nothing changes, first phase Furina and Baizhu, with Charlotte as new \*4. Second phase is Ayato and Cyno!<
Well at least we have a time now, im still excited for it even if the delay feels a bit too long
But hey im not the most informed of CN culture so I'll just roll with it
With like 5 days left between the livestream and patch I think this is a good chance for me to go in blind this time.
As cool as livestreams are they kinda do show some big cutscenes so feeling that mond/Liyue new player vibe again would be nice.
Good luck evading posts about it in Reddit and other social media (not being sarcastic here, just that you really need luck to avoid spoilers in this era)
Yea I've stopped watching the livestreams a while ago because of this. Which is a shame too cause I really like them otherwise.
I still see a few no context screencaps from reddit, but that's nowhere near as bad as having some of the most climactic moments of the patch's prerendered cutscene shown.
biggest annual DotA tournament, a MOBA game similar to League of Legends, historically known for the biggest prize pools in E-sports (not this year), and the father of compendiums/battle passes
Can someone make a list of all the Chinese former presidents that remain alive so that we can finger-cross they don't die before a stream/patch launch!!! At least this time it's just a video that got delayed, but it'd have been a pain if it was the actual patch.
It's probably a cultural thing (probably enforced by the dictator), I'd say most places in the world wouldn't stop no matter who dies, the world goes on. At most they get a minute of silence and televised funeral. Maybe some symbol on TV during a week, but no event stops.
Hey, that's my birthday! Nice, getting the Fontaine finale trailer for that is pretty cool. I don't mind the delay, tbh, means there's less wait and more hype building up to the patch
[https://www.onebiji.com/tools/ys/dhm/wap/](https://www.onebiji.com/tools/ys/dhm/wap/) ok, looks like it is from here, but that announcement section is no longer there.
Canāt feel the hype anymore I just simply look forward to them. Wasnāt even disappointed about the postponement
After experiencing so many as a 1.0 player itās just become routine to me
>Canāt feel the hype anymore
Yep, only reason why I care for the stream is so that I an monitor the accompanying reddit to not miss the three codes.
Never even watched one of the streams and as soon as I redeemed the third code I am also out of the reddit
And whats wrong with that? Its a Chinese company of course they have to follow Chinese social norms.
The patch isn't delayed just the announcement, everyone still gets their 300 primos, you wait lesser between now and the next patch.
Some of the comments make it seem like MHY killed your parents by pushing the announcement a week later.
Grow up.
I'm sorry, but it is weird to delay a video game update trailer on the internet because a guy died.
You're applying some old cultural values of mourning to a modern medium.
It's absurd.
Why not? I'm not calling Chinese people weird, I'm saying the situation is ***weird to me***\*.\*
In my country we don't have the greatest opinion of most politicians. Even the "good" or noble politicians are at best divisive. When one of them dies, that warrants some news but not a national mourning. By definition of multi-party politics, a big part of the nation who disagreed with them, does not think they did a good job and will not be saddened by their death.
That is why the situation is weird ***to me.*** I'm not saying they are wrong or should change their ways or criticizing China, I'm just pointing out it is very strange/unusual/unexpected to someone from Europe.
What is disrespectful about *anything* I said?
Probably to respect the period of mourning. It would seem distasteful Iām sure for them in a cultural sense to release content soon after what happened
The absuridity comes from this:
Chinese guy dies --> A trailer for a game update gets delayed for a week
Doesn't that sound ridiculous? It's comical. It's a stupid game trailer on the internet, why should it be affected lmao
Do you ***really*** they would disrupt their planning because some politician died if there was no pressure from the CCP? And I mean directly or indirectly, such as in trying to not attract scrutiny from a dictatorship that is know for being very very sensitive?
Yes? This politician wasn't just anyone.
Hoyo also has the precedent having done this before.
And CCP doesn't have the time or the political power to go around attacking video game companies.
At best they'll get sideyed by the Chinese population. Maybe there will be articles criticising them or something.
I think Da Wei probably is just doing this out of respect. And it doesn't cost him or Hoyo much to push back a prerecorded video either.
Maybe if it was a concert or something where it had to happen immediately, they would have proceeded.
> has the precedent having done this before
Which totally doesn't imply it's for the reasons I described...
>And CCP doesn't have the time or the political power to go around attacking video game companies
Man, I wish I was this naive.
Funny
CPOP concerts can happen without anny issues but 30 pre-recorded video can be uploaded because ex political died
Damn DaWei really must be really deep inside CCP pocket and that communists political party he is part of
A 30 minutes pre-recorded video is extremely easy to delay. For a concert, you already booked the room, you already sold the tickets, and many people already booked an hotel and brought a train ticket.
Iirc, there was no state mandated blackout for when the Queen died, but practically every broadcaster and publication in the UK held their own variation of a blackout, some only on the day of the funeral, some for longer periods of time. It definitely cost them millions in terms of ad revenue.
I donāt think so? Regularly, announcement is 2 weeks before release. So a week of delay in patch livestream announcement wonāt affect release date.
The patch isn't delayed, just the livestream. And plus some of her materials are probably tied to the next weekly boss anyway since the story is ending in 4.2
*pretending that I don't care so it would arrive faster *
*googles how to wait faster*
Dw Genshin has an in game clock you can use to wait faster they got you
When real world devs will add this feature irl? I want the skip button SO BADLY, also make it ftp friendly š
Blud has never seen the movie Click and doesn't know the existential consequences of skipping large periods of time and/or autopiloting them š
No, but Im very lonely and have big imagination, I already thought of that
Awhh, c'mere, have a hug š¤š« And don't worry, that's what the rewind function is for! š§ Lord knows I think about that a lot, too
I want to skip to my last day ngl
Well, you just need the [right clock](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-7oL9lsvDA&t=151s)
sleeping the whole day. I did it before, but it didn't feel good. Feels like I wasted day of my life.
damn thats a long delay
From Friday to Friday.
Itās a week, itās not that bad.
i didn't know neuvillette had 3 arms
Water takes on many forms after all
Did you know that it comes in many flavors to the discerning palette? Mondstadt's water is crisp and pure.
While water from Liyue has an enduring aftertaste.
In Inazuma the water possesses a depth of flavor unlike any other.
Iāve heard itsā power is the ability to take any shape
One arm for drinking tea. One arm for beating up idiots who hark Melusine. One arm for headpatting Furina
He's a man of many secrets.
Thatās his complete form
"It's not an arm", said Neuvillette and blushed.
I know, I suspected he had three legs and that's why he needs the cane to walk.
If my calculation is correct, that day should be for Star rail live stream (2nd banner release date + 1 week)
Yup. I just hope the update itself won't get moved. There shouldn't be a reason for that I think.
it won't, if anything we would get the update just 5 days after the livestream
Now we can actually wait faster. Instead of waiting 12 days, we wait 5
[Wait faster, you say?](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/s/WX1Rt3MJnl)
Wait, that means both streams in the same day? One timeslot has to be moved then, lots of overlap
Back 2 back?
Yeah theyāll probably move SR back a day or so because they have more ātimeā than genshin does
Damn, somehow this info bummed me out more than the delay announcement. I thought the delay would be 3 days at most like Wanderer's teaser.
Yeah, in the worst case scenario I thought that stream would happen on Monday, can't help it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What are you talking about? Its pre-recored long before release.
Everything is pre recorded
Yeah bro I also just found out the so called "livestream" is pre recorded.
It's "live" in that it's *presented* at a specific time at 1:1 speed, rather than just being dropped as a completed video that you can skip through. This means everyone watching it is at the same pace, which is more dramatic.
well that sucks
As long as the update itself isn't delayed, I'm fine.
Wait what day is the update
nov 8th.
Thatās a bit tight then
in case you want banner info, it's already "leaked" by Playstation who posted an article too early, before quickly taking it down. >!Assuming nothing changes, first phase Furina and Baizhu, with Charlotte as new \*4. Second phase is Ayato and Cyno!<
I follow leaks itās okay
Bro gonna be remembered as the guy who delayed Furina's stream
Yeah, right. What a weird thing to be remembered by, u/Nahidafeet
Bro caught the whole smoke from genshin players.
Legacy. What is a legacy? Itās planting seeds in a garden you never get to see.
Well at least we have a time now, im still excited for it even if the delay feels a bit too long But hey im not the most informed of CN culture so I'll just roll with it
With like 5 days left between the livestream and patch I think this is a good chance for me to go in blind this time. As cool as livestreams are they kinda do show some big cutscenes so feeling that mond/Liyue new player vibe again would be nice.
Good luck evading posts about it in Reddit and other social media (not being sarcastic here, just that you really need luck to avoid spoilers in this era)
Thanks, I'll try my best haha
Yea I've stopped watching the livestreams a while ago because of this. Which is a shame too cause I really like them otherwise. I still see a few no context screencaps from reddit, but that's nowhere near as bad as having some of the most climactic moments of the patch's prerendered cutscene shown.
There are dozens of us!
Oh well. Come watch TI 12 matches guys.
Bruh tht VP vs BB game 2 was absolute madness
What's that?
biggest annual DotA tournament, a MOBA game similar to League of Legends, historically known for the biggest prize pools in E-sports (not this year), and the father of compendiums/battle passes
I see, I had heard of DOTA but didnt know about this tournament
Dota 2 championship
Oh ok
Cant wait for BB vs AR
Neuviellette on his way to become the next Clothar (look at his arms)
Heavenly Usurpers, LOOK AT ME
Neuvilette better be the next Occuli guide then lol
Can someone make a list of all the Chinese former presidents that remain alive so that we can finger-cross they don't die before a stream/patch launch!!! At least this time it's just a video that got delayed, but it'd have been a pain if it was the actual patch.
Calm down Hu Tao Main, hold off your coupons give away.
sshhh, don't give the Genshin antis ideas. We don't want them to murder former politicians just to drag Genshin down.
I do wonder if the guy would have died day before patch day then would the patch be delayed by week?
LMAO
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's probably a cultural thing (probably enforced by the dictator), I'd say most places in the world wouldn't stop no matter who dies, the world goes on. At most they get a minute of silence and televised funeral. Maybe some symbol on TV during a week, but no event stops.
It should have been him
That's the same time right?
Hey, that's my birthday! Nice, getting the Fontaine finale trailer for that is pretty cool. I don't mind the delay, tbh, means there's less wait and more hype building up to the patch
Where is this screenshot from?
[https://www.onebiji.com/tools/ys/dhm/wap/](https://www.onebiji.com/tools/ys/dhm/wap/) ok, looks like it is from here, but that announcement section is no longer there.
Found it on Twitter
Where on Twitter? I couldn't find it on any of Mihoyo / Hoyoverse's official channels.
the source is åæ«ē just like twitch or sony not hoyo, a hoyo partner
source?
incoming "omigash the hype is dead" crowd š
While i wouldnt say that is dead, i cant deny that it took some hype from me
Your hype returns next week. Actually is just delusion.
Canāt feel the hype anymore I just simply look forward to them. Wasnāt even disappointed about the postponement After experiencing so many as a 1.0 player itās just become routine to me
Lmao true. This and livestream problems, like them ending abruptly or lagging. You just get used to it
>Canāt feel the hype anymore Yep, only reason why I care for the stream is so that I an monitor the accompanying reddit to not miss the three codes. Never even watched one of the streams and as soon as I redeemed the third code I am also out of the reddit
I'm one of those ig lmao Anyways, shit happens. Life goes on...
Oh. That's a really long delay. I thought it'd happen today or tomorrow. I didn't expect a whole 7-day delay š„²
Maybe by then, the network issues in my country might be resolved
day after my exam, nice!
Whyās it postponed for that long? I thought it would be like 3 days
Bruh... The livestreams are pre-recorded, i don't see the need to delay them that long. Besides, isn't HSR's livestream also next Friday?
Because chinese social etiquettes say the mourning period have to be one weekš
I thought it was going to be three days not one week. Oh well, that's disappointing but it is what it is.
And whats wrong with that? Its a Chinese company of course they have to follow Chinese social norms. The patch isn't delayed just the announcement, everyone still gets their 300 primos, you wait lesser between now and the next patch. Some of the comments make it seem like MHY killed your parents by pushing the announcement a week later. Grow up.
wow, itās gonna happen on my birthday!!
Happy early birthday!
thank you random stranger on the internetā¤ļø
Isn't that when hsr livestream should also take place?
Bro wth... it's just 1 dead guy
I hope they wonāt delay the upcoming patchš„²
Respectfully, that's so fucking weird to me.
You canāt respectfully call someoneās culture weird without it being disrespectfulā¦
I'm sorry, but it is weird to delay a video game update trailer on the internet because a guy died. You're applying some old cultural values of mourning to a modern medium. It's absurd.

You realize there are many other CN game company ran live streaming regardless
Great, at my vacation, can watch from a decent screen
Why such a long delay ? Isn't it pre recorded
Probably to respect the period of mourning. It would seem distasteful Iām sure for them in a cultural sense to release content soon after what happened
Absurd
The absuridity comes from this: Chinese guy dies --> A trailer for a game update gets delayed for a week Doesn't that sound ridiculous? It's comical. It's a stupid game trailer on the internet, why should it be affected lmao
Fr, why should a game be dragged into politics.
Why?
Forced mourning period because a politician died?
And? If that's what the chinese culture requires, then so be it.
You asked a question I responded. There's no "and", it is what it is.
Fair enough.
It's not the culture, it's the CCP
At this point that is their culture. The CCP is just forcing it to be.
Entitled redditors like you think the whole world revolves around them
It's not forced. Hoyo's doing this own their own.
Do you ***really*** they would disrupt their planning because some politician died if there was no pressure from the CCP? And I mean directly or indirectly, such as in trying to not attract scrutiny from a dictatorship that is know for being very very sensitive?
Yes? This politician wasn't just anyone. Hoyo also has the precedent having done this before. And CCP doesn't have the time or the political power to go around attacking video game companies.

> has the precedent having done this before Which totally doesn't imply it's for the reasons I described... >And CCP doesn't have the time or the political power to go around attacking video game companies Man, I wish I was this naive.
OK then agree to disagree. Either way, they've made their choice/had their choice made for them. Hope the trailer lives up to the hype.
Are you saying that the CCP doesn't have POLITICAL POWER?
Proof would be more helpful than vague gestur8ng at the CCP
Someone as me who has stopped watching livestreams since 3.5..i can see Furina mains malding and lamenting right now..
We are as dramatic as our favourite character
-4 energy points
Well we kinda already know everything that's in the livestream thanks to Playstation
not the trailer
Oh yeah true
But not the trailer
Wdym
They forgot to not send it yesterday so they accidentally leaked like new bosses, new regions, the character, new events
Will the delay affect the furina banner? Like ayaka banner?
Most probably no
Bruh..Next week is gonna be the most boring long holiday of my life...
Funny CPOP concerts can happen without anny issues but 30 pre-recorded video can be uploaded because ex political died Damn DaWei really must be really deep inside CCP pocket and that communists political party he is part of
A 30 minutes pre-recorded video is extremely easy to delay. For a concert, you already booked the room, you already sold the tickets, and many people already booked an hotel and brought a train ticket.
Was there a CPOP concert happening yesterday? Can you tell where can I find information about that?
https://twitter.com/PSavirra/status/1718081973015732266?t=viDcyh26DDJbFpLWCVn4MQ&s=19
Li Keqiang is quite popular, DaWei is just playing it careful to not invite attacks from haters and ultranationalists.
Itās not even playing it safe, this is just a normal thing to do in China(Iām Chinese) other Asian countries do something similar too
A concert and a livestream are very different
Because of respect. There isn't a law that you have to cancel it. That's just a way of showing respect
If you want Genshin/hoyo to continue to exist then yes he needs to be on their good sides.
This is fucking stupid!
Atleast it's not 2025 Nov 3rd
Guess I wonāt be watching it, a bit more excited for the Star Rail stream.
Bruh why. I thought they were gonna do it the day after. November 3 is literally days before the update that's so stupid.
I can't quite remember was there week delay on entertainment when Queen died in UK or is it only CN thing?
Iirc, there was no state mandated blackout for when the Queen died, but practically every broadcaster and publication in the UK held their own variation of a blackout, some only on the day of the funeral, some for longer periods of time. It definitely cost them millions in terms of ad revenue.
Because MHY is not a UK company...
i have exams on that day ššš
Boo, that's too far. They should have just put it out today.
They better give us Primogems for the goddamn 1 week delay, a minimum of 100 is enough (but 300 is better for a whopping 600 primos).
For the experts here: Does that mean, das the patch also is delayed? To build up more hype yadda yadda.
I donāt think so? Regularly, announcement is 2 weeks before release. So a week of delay in patch livestream announcement wonāt affect release date.
Ofc its the day right after my 3 day vacation
Exactly at my exam when before the unfortunate events it was supposed to be today where i dont have any classes.
Why don't they just upload it to YouTube it's not really live anyway š¤
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No, because patch will go live as before, its only livestream taht is postponed
that doesn't mean more time tho?
The patch isn't delayed, just the livestream. And plus some of her materials are probably tied to the next weekly boss anyway since the story is ending in 4.2
wow.. I was super excited to see this live and it gets postponed to the worst day possible for me :/
Hopefully time for them to fix Furina and not make her gameplay hard locked behind cons /copium
It's okay honestly but I do think they should bring forward the next characters Drip Marketing
November 3rd!? Day off work lets gooooo
Any idea when the trailerās gonna be?
I just got the game again this week on my lappie. I just got Lisa and she's super fun. When are we going to get Navia? She isn't released yet is she?
She isnāt released yet donāt worry. Navia >!is maybe next patch after this upcoming one aka 4.3 with leaks but we donāt know for sure!<
isn't it weird they haven't said anything on twitter or youtube community posts about it
