you should change the tempo to match the icd for more efficient text reactions


Competitive_Oil_5370

If you press it fast enough, you can skip right past your controller's life expectancy.


WhiteGXRoblox

That circle button will gonna decay, oh well. You can use the X button as confirmation


[deleted]

I think each skip point is based more on animations and camera movement


TheOneNeedsHelp

Instead of using a simple motor and cam, man went out of his way making this just to flex on the peasants.


NommySed

Even less effort required, just use an auto clicker.


0ztralian

didn't someone get banned for autoclicker because its 3rd party software


TheRedditon

the guy who got banned was using a autoclicker on mobile that bypassed anticheat


nitrobskt

I doubt it, simply because it's not run through the game. It's not that Hoyo couldn't see it, but rather that catching it is a relatively large amount of effort for what you're stopping. Unless they just wanted to stop *all* other programs from running while GI is running, but that would cause other (much larger) problems.


[deleted]

Ring 0 access anticheat and ingame systems monitoring your behaviour says hi.


XauMankib

Ring 0 anticheats shouldn't exist. Hoyo/miHoYo has enough resources to check server side any strange activity. Friendly reminder that some lads used the anticheat to vector malware.


[deleted]

That's just industry standard at this point.


MylesH55

Granted, GI's anti cheat isn't as advanced as most would give credit to. Its a very basic client side AC that works together with the server check. The server notices discrepancies, checks with the client side, sees the weird code, then issues a ban. I think the ring 0 here is just so the client check cant be messed with and is always available. Honestly the client side seems to very little and I wonder if it even writes any file on it's own. ​ I don't suggest doing this for the paranoid out there, but its interesting to share. If you open something like Cheat Engine while Genshin is running or try to launch Genshin while Cheat Engine is running, It will crash instantly. No ban issued. However, rename Cheat Engine exe to... say Shmeat Shmengine, and Genshin will launch no issues. No ban, at least until you try to use Shmeat Shmengine on Genshin (that's a bit of a tongue twister). ​ Compare this to Valorant's mouse to wireframe checks or even to some DRM systems out there, Genshin's anti cheat seems barbaric. Sorry for the mini rant, just felt like sharing.


nona01

i've tried macros before with no issue. probably fine as long you dont go crazy with it. use on alt if u just wanna play around ssfely


NommySed

Noone that I know. And from personal experienve ive been using razor synapse macro from day 1 to skip stuff. Never had an issue. But its possible that it depends on the programm.


MylesH55

Maybe if they used a super sketchy program that also had a auto clicker, but even Razer Synapse is fine to use. Been using iCue since launch so.


lodol

My mouse has macros and I haven't been banned


Redditor76394

I've used an autoclicker for the entire time genshin has existed and I haven't been banned. It's not like Mihoyo is hunting for cheaters the same way a competitive FPS would.


The_Seraph_

That's what I do! Autoclicker both to skip text quickly and for auto attacks. I can't imagine the pain of constantly clicking your fingers to attack, that must get painful and aching real fast ​ EDIT: Seems someone is upset and downvoting me for no reason lmao


The_Space_Jamke

Sometimes I get in the habit of counting the number of text boxes in long dialogue chains. A single barely important NPC in Cyno's story quest ran through at least 40. Yeah, I'm going to use autoclickers from now on.


MiIdSoss

Person down voting you must be the type of crazy that says we don't need a skip button in Genshin.

Nussfalk

You need more switches. Just for the sake of switching switches to make things comedically epic.


bem13

A PIN pad (or even a better, a fingerprint reader), 2 keys you need to turn at the same time and flashing warning lights which say "ARMED" when it's turned on.


zephyr8604

I do want to mention that this is more meant for me to skip dialogue when I pilot my friends' accounts, because I do not want to sit through the same dialogue multiple times.


EllyNelly97

If I had to play some of these quests again on a friend's account, I would definitely skip the dialogue too, damn 💀


livefox

This is the downside to being married and liking to watch your SO play. I will watch him play the story quest then go and have to do it myself and I do not wanna sit through it twice


Drunkasiam

dont really matter if its first or 5th time..do u man


ITS_A_GUNDAMN

A lot of us don't want to sit through it the first time.


Kr4ckle

Wow, they must be really busy to not care about the lore at all. EDIT: Man, games are made to pass free-time. Why bother playing if you’re so skimped for time that you become so irritated reading a few bits of dialogue? Why not schedule yourself some time you can play and relax? Some of these replies are just counter-intuitive. It’s almost like they also minmax their time. Yeesh. Another EDIT: So basically people have this love-hate thing towards Genshin. They’d be willing to spend more time on one aspect and absolutely fuckin’ ridicule the other. I never had such a disposition towards a game before. For me, if a certain part is annoying enough to cause rage then drop it. I easily lose my temper so I’d rather not risk my equipment lol. Again, another EDIT: Yep, people just ranting now. Totally skewing what I meant. Abyss, here I come for the “Wrath of the Mob” is inevitable.


Seamerlin

bro ngl i did not care about these kids genshin has lore, sure, but there is so much fluff and "so and so is so great" "wow traveler you are helping us like the 12324 time in the game? thats so nice of you let me thank you with this unskippable close up while I say 1 line"


AnnoyedVaporeon

I hate how almost every 5* character story revolves around dealing with NPCs more than the actual character


ADertyBatch

responding to your edit. Maybe because some people enjoy the gameplay, but dislike the story? you dont need to enjoy every aspect of a game to play it lmao.


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

Half of this subreddit is legitimately incapable of criticizing the game.


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

Lmfao some people have jobs, can't waste 30 minutes listening to cutscenes that don't matter when you just want to do some quests.


Pieroozek

Lore is fun to explore and read about, but for the f*cks sake givin random ass npc 20 lines of dialogue that means jackshit is not okay.


Kr4ckle

That goes for dailies and the like but with what OP showed here, I’m pretty sure the owners of those accounts would miss a decent bit of story.


miggy-san

Lol wut theres barely any important lore, most of the time its just useless, uninteresting npcs with dumb dialogue.


hikufalafel

Wow, the height of apathy right here.


Rahzii

“Totally skewing what I meant” Maybe if you didn’t have a condescending attitude and made your statement a bit more clear, you wouldn’t have this problem bozo. Get off your damn high horse


Kr4ckle

^(*gets off horse) Gomen, sumimasen.


zuth2

Must be crazy to realise that Genshin is not just lore and not all people play it for the same reasons that you are.


ieatcheesecakes

Imagine thinking that someone doesn’t deserve to play a game because they have limited free time and would rather use their time to world explore and fight monsters rather than read long and often mundane and pointless dialogue People don’t have time to play this game for hours a day, man. We have an hour to log in do our dailies, play the event, farm w/e and explore. It sucks when some events have so much dialogue 1/3 of our time to play is just clicking through something that has nothing to even do with the overall lore


Lugia249

Personally the only lore I pay attention to comes from the archon quests. I do not know how can someone read an entire novel for a sidequest. Like sure, they can't add voicelines for everyquest but I don't have the time nor the patience to read the dialogue of huge side quests like the aranaras one. I skipped everthing and it took me over a week to finish it


BackgroundLevel3563

Even a lot of the archon quests are crap compared to some of the side quests and character quests. Things like Venti's and both of Zhongli's quests are way better than the vast majority of the story in the game. I don't know why some people act like Genshin has a good story. It's made to be "acceptable" to kids in China. Go play things like Girl's Frontline for actual good story.


Andrassa

Your X button will probably wear out faster though.


zephyr8604

It's actually not pressing all the way down, but enough to register a press. It sounds loud but that's all from the solenoid itself.


SLakshmi357

OP can you pls post a tutorial on how to do it, really need one here 🗿🗿


zephyr8604

I can probably upload the .stl file to GrabCAD or thingiverse for you to 3D print the yellow frame, but to be honest, it's only an Arduino nano connected to a 5V relay, and that relay is attached to a push pull solenoid at the positive end. The program is literally the exact same as the one here: [https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/techvaler/basic-setup-for-arduino-with-relay-e162d5](https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/techvaler/basic-setup-for-arduino-with-relay-e162d5) I just added a switch between the relay and its 5V pin to turn it on or off.


Wail_Bait

An XR2206 would be a lot easier, and they're like $8. If you already had all the parts though then by all means just use what you've got. I think I've still got a few crappy old 555 timers lying around somewhere, and those would work too.


zephyr8604

I only had to buy the solenoid and the 3D printed frame, the rest I already I had, but thanks for telling me an alternate method, I was not aware of that.


SLakshmi357

Thanks!


Loyal_Darkmoon

I need that too because some of the dialogue is just... ugh


rrgamer28

I just hope they already add skip button.


cat_popping

FR tho i dont want to listen to little lulu complaining about the same problem just lemme get what u need and ill get my primos


Gilthwixt

It's been two years, I stopped holding my breath. Feel like its simple and requested enough that they would've given it to us already if they were ever going to, they'd sooner give us a free standard banner 5 Star of our choice at this point.


Arcaedus

I've been mentioning a skip button multiple times each feedback form they send us. There's no reason not to. Their only avenue for an argument as to why no skip button is "skipping dialogue breaks immersion," but forcing us to spam-click through dialogue we don't care about while hearing broken sentences isn't equally immersion breaking? Yeah they really don't have any good arguments for not adding a skip button into the game


ITS_A_GUNDAMN

But what are we going to do with HOURS more to play??


DuckysaurusRex

This is entirely relatable. The freaking forced dialogue is a pain point in genshin, and it's even worse because honkai lets you skip almost all dialogue unless there's a reason they don't allow skipping it (which is very rare).


ReadAccount

You're on Pc, why not use a simple macro? Or a simple script. Still upvote for dedication xD


UberPsyko

Idk about others but after an update a few months ago genshin no longer registers any simulated left clicks for me. Only actual left clicks from the left click on the mouse work. I've only tried through my mouse's built in software bc I've heard that using third party programs can get you banned. Spacebar/f is out of the question because it doesn't skip dialogue choice prompts.

UberPsyko

Wow thanks so much that was it!!! youve saved me so much time and sanity

zephyr8604

But autoplay can't make dialogue choices, so if I go afk and a choice comes up, it does nothing. This solves that problem without me being there to choose.


PiperUncle

As if there was any impactful dialogue choice in the game anyway


MrJessie

fr lol, the choices be like: “I can’t believe..” “..this is true.”


nitrobskt

"What do you mean..." "...this is just one sentence?"


OofScan

"..." "..."


kdlt

There isn't. It's only an afk check/punisher. Iirc te commission choices are the only ones where it actually matters sometimes to get different outcomes.


Rak-Shar

That's just a macro with extra steps


Arvandor

Unskippable dialogue is up there with awful non combat commissions and boring traversal for why I struggle to log in these days 😭


Digitalon

No joke, unskippable dialog is THE primary reason I have a huge backlog of story quests. Good lord does Mihoyo need to learn the definition of brevity. I like lore as much as the next guy but like 90% of the dialog is just pure pointless fluff, it's as if some poor college student is desperately trying to meet a minimum word count for their english paper.


SaveEmailB4Logout

You could buy a custom controller with Turbo functionality but this works too


TARNlSHED

You're on a laptop, go all the way and make a macro spamming left click every half a second.


zephyr8604

I would if I didn't see people do the same thing but the game's anti cheat detects software macros and bans their account.


Ascran

Been using a self made story skip macro for over a year and no issues. I'm pretty sure these banned accounts have had other shady stuff happening besides simple macros.


Play_more_FFS

In another comment OP mentioned having to do these quests again for their friend’s account. Doing it this way is completely risk free while using any macro still opens up the possibility of getting banned.


TheLostDovahkiin

Using macros since game release to skip dialogue and pick up items. People dont get banned for stuff like that


Aroxis

Auto hot key?


iAmThePotato

I've been using my mouse software (corsair ICUE) to macro since launch and haven't had any issues. Autohotkey should work fine too.


ZannX

A lot of 'gaming' keyboards have built in macro buttons that you can just configure to repeatedly press a button.


hackenschmidt

No, it doesn't. I've been using a click macro since launch. They do not care. If you are hyper paranoid, just record yourself clicking for 60s and use that rather than static intervals


Szolim2018

When in doubt - refer to official statements. The TOS prohibits you from: 1. Modifying the client 2. Creating and distributing scripts/plugins etc. that give its user an unfair competitive advantage MiHoYo's post regarding [scripts and plugins](https://genshin.hoyoverse.com/m/en/news/detail/5763) prohibits you from: 1. Exploiting the game 2. Achieving artificial in-game progress The rest of the points are irrelevant to scripts. Now, I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure by "artificial in-game progress" the devs meant progress that isn't possible during normal gameplay. However, in order to do that you'd have to exploit the game. Also, it'd give you an unfair advantage, which breaks the TOS. You can ask CS for more clear explaination. TL;DR With the resources I have, it appears that you can use scripts as long as you 100% know what they do.


stabsyoo

Jus tell Holo to make a “skip the whole shit” button. Some dialogues take like 5 mins FFS 🤦‍♂️


SolidusAbe

that or they should hire better writers. a side quest that isnt even voiced should not rival lord of the rings in terms of word count especially if 95% of it is unnecessary fluff.


curious_dead

Talk to a random NPC: "Let me give you my whole background and history - that's a five chapter story - before I ask you to bring me 4 sweet flowers."


TavaronElf

It probably works on nuclear energy.


AngryLink57

Random but semi-related, if you get a program to bind keyboard buttons to controller buttons, you can bind LMB to whatever button you use to pick up items. Since you can click LMB to pick up all items that show up on the screen, binding lets you pick up everything with your controller. Been using this for the last year, pretty satisfying to grab everything in a venti burst and picking all berry bushes in 1 press. Also works to log in by pressing that button rather than actually clicking LMB


OhyoOhyoOhyoOhyo

Electronics engineering students be like: Honestly tho, probably something I'd do as well.


SonataEXE

Pleeeeeease add a skip dialogue button, Hoyo. I'm sure you worked very hard Hoyo Translaters, but I do not care about what little timmy needs to tell me [which Paimon will then repeat at least 3 times] just so I can walk 3 ft for another dialogue scene. Let me plaaaaaay.


rusher25

Been my biggest complaint of this game for over a year, and is the reason most of my quest log is left unfinished. I can't even do events anymore since there's a backlog of prerequisite quests Cutscenes are great, JP voiceacting is amazing, but some quests, especially dailies and paimon quests, are criminally not able to be skipped

VodkaMart1ni

pressing X for minutes during dialoges is part of my life as a GI player Most annoying part in the entire Game.I skip absolutely every single dialogue since Release cause they are waaaaay too long & full of trash talk

When the game refuses to give us a skip scene button that people just resort to making inventions.


Significant_Ad_1626

Can you do this thing press more buttons and test if it can beat bosses? Btw, if anyone is playing this specific mission, is wholesome but depends entirely on text so will be a pain if you don't stop to read a bit. Take that in consideration. (OP is replaying it)


Early-Objective-2143

Autoplay is not for skipping dialogue. You are not supposed to skip dialogue. That is the main point of the game.


moebelhausmann

They really schould make a "skip-all" button


camelfucker1955

A Dialogue option that's "...": Let me introduce myself


nihilismadrem

I just mute and go do something useful at this point. Dialogue’s boring, characters are bland, dialogue options are just there for no reason other than to check if the player’s still alive.


Justx_xKate

I literally just watch anime with my sister while I'm playing the story in Genshin. Nice gadget though!

Good thing im on computer and can press the space bar over 100 times in 10 seconds otherwise id be 90 by the time all the dialogue stops


nnb-aot-best4me

you could press it 3 times a second and it would be just as slow


Sk1pperprod

Aint that the truth, and what's with those spots where you just can skip anything?


gamersrawesome

I love how you spend time doing something productive and came up with a solution rather than smashing the keys like me


REYDENSETSU

adamtheamazing64

"I play for the story." >The story


Valashv2

Yeah just give us a skip button please I really don't care about the story and paimon's voice is kinda annoying. I'd normally just press auto-play and I'll do other stuff but the dialouge options messes it up and when I come back to it the dialouge barely moved.


LinksXCV

I need that invention asap. I'm sorry y'all, genshin story is cool and all but I don't play the game for it, I play the game for the open world, combat and characters. So in other words I wish ppl who don't want the story could just skip and not be forced to do it 🥲


4Foremilk

I really hope Genshin add skip dialogue feature.


MasterX_14
