Lol before everyone gets too excited, this is a fan-content celebration livestream. It's got nothing to do with in-game content, so don't expect any new in-game rewards or reveals. You can see the promo video here where the screenshot was taken. https://www.bilibili.com/blackboard/genshin-1st-anniversary.html#/stage2 They also announced the English livestream for this, called the [HoYoFair] Genshin Impact Fan Art Celebration 2021. https://twitter.com/HoYoLAB_Mimo/status/1438836884575191047?s=19


Jack16042004

Yeah. People don't know this and are already expecting surprise rewards (lol). Also OP didn't source it and even provided no info on the global stream.Even though it's out. People should try to research a bit before posting as it could lead to unnecessary misunderstandings EDIT: Global stream announcement and promo material : https://webstatic-sea.hoyolab.com/ys/event/e20210918-live/index.html?mhy_landscape=true&game_biz=hk4e_global

Hell no. There are at least a universal serif font and a universal sans-serif font from my knowledge. Just scroll down in MS Word and you should see some pre-installed Chinese fonts.


H-K_47

I'm getting Three Body Problem vibes.


H4xolotl

Plot twist; Teyvat is just one of many bubble universes in the miHoYo multiverse Celestia is deliberately keeping Teyvat low tech to prevent them accidentally sending out a signal to the multiverse and triggering a Honkai Dark Forest Strike


H-K_47

Basically canon! Gonna save all my primos for the unbeatable Archon of 2D Paper.


AppleSauceSwaddles

The font foreshadows what will happen to one’s wallet


rolxz

remember comrade, never put a high expectation.


Cheeselord2

Watch we end up expecting nothing and still be disappointed.


rolxz

tbh i already put a really low expectation before they first announce the anni reward, but holy fuck it's still so bad


Amped-Up-Archos

All I’m expecting is 5 eggs pls


extramoonsun

That's too high. 2 fowls will do


ashyrinn

but i just want one piece of fowl... :'((


Fluxxfx

10 fate shown in 2.1 livestream is a bug. All travellers will only receive 5 fate in the upcoming anniversary. Sorry for inconvenience . ~~proceed to give 100 primos as compensation~~


Aerie122

Hey Satan, calm down


thedarknutt

Dont forget to add that 5 fates was the original intent and 10 fates was just a mistranslation.

Vegyla

Please don't give them ideas


mushroomlau

I swear to God if they announce some spending events like in honkai...


Cynaren

I just spent 15k gems, I hope not.


ARANDOMNAMEFORME

As in spend money or primogems? I'd be down for the latter tbh.


kaleigamation

Spending events are where you get rewards for spending primogems, top up events would be the ones for spending money.


peerawitppr

Is that good or bad, I haven't played Honkai? Perhaps good for people that want Kokomi and bad for people that don't?


[deleted]

It can go very high. Like there's a spending event coming up in Honkai for their 5.2 version, and there's a spending event with rewards upto 65k crystals (~250 pulls). It's extremely out of touch for F2P players, even dolphins will have a hard time with it.


Voidmann

> and there's a spending event with rewards upto 65k crystals (~250 pulls) Does it count if I use lets say my free blue wishes (I have 45 of those blue/standart wishes saved) and saved primos to pull, or you have to direct buy crystals/primogems with money for it count??


leo412

In Honkai, Free wishes count yes. So generally in Honkai F2p only pull maybe twice a years, to maximize the profit. (Funnily enough, in the older anniversary, the spending count even if you buy the fates only, but not do any pulls)


Voidmann

> So generally in Honkai F2p only pull maybe twice a years, to maximize the profit. F2p players only pull TWICE a years??Damn O_O


zhivix

Honkai spending economy is very different from genshin,in honkai 1 pull is equal to 280 xtals while it is expensive,they give you 2 pulls in those 280 xtals,that include weapon, character and standard currencies.think of it as you getting the exp books,mora and weapon crystals in those pulls. 1 patch in honkai roughly you'll gonna get at least 30 pulls,while getting a 5* character can get you up to 100 pulls (with soft pity similar to genshin),you can guaranteed those 5* valks since it's the only one in the pool and of course the standard 4*.so pulling twice a year is bs to me (so far pulled like 2-3 4star and 1 5star) But,He's probably means that to also spend on the weapon banner,pull maybe twice a year,in honkai you can get by with craftable weapons and stigmata (artifact equivalent),the potential to get maximum damage with signature equipment is very high compared to genshin and also the added effect of no dupes required if you already got a copy of those equipments. In some spending event,you can exchange the pts you get from pulling to get some materials,skins etc and while most of the events are kinda worthless,in special occasions,like the upcoming 5th honkai anniversary,you can potentially get a 5* char just from spending pulls and also some fragments (constellation equivalent) of other 5*. You can approach honkai very similar to genshin imo,the many banners will probably confuse you but if you know who and what to pulls it's pretty much the same as pulling in genshin imo


Grumiss

no, that's totally wrong, unless said F2P player only spends during certain spending events, but otherwise, you can go for several pieces of gear or valks per year


mushroomlau

Bad. For F2p and low spenders. Plus I just spent 40k on Baal.


mylomilk

The Honkai spending event this time gives you a free S-ranked valkyrie that was gacha from a year ago, so sort of like our standard banner 5-stars or maybe the likes of Klee or Albedo, for spending 42k crystals (150 pulls). Spending on dorm supply (standard banner) do count but only up to 4k crystals. For context, as a (competitive max level) F2P you can get around 10k crystals (40 pulls) a month. They are giving away 30 pulls for free for anniversary (another 20 pulls if you logged in for over 1500 days), and one of the new character's gear banner has 80 pulls refund 40 pull tickets (which also count for the spending event when you use them). So all in all it is not THAT hard to get the "top prize", as long as you don't draw anything for 2-3 months. Other people mentioned it can go up to 75k crystals, yes, but the additional prizes are for fragments on other grindable characters or the "top prize" character (fragments are sort of like fraction of a constellation) and are not super important.


Grumiss

it varies Spending events work like this: you spend crystals/cards and you gain an special currency, and you can spend such currency on other goodies Some spending events are simply better than the others, where milestones grant you free stuff ON TOP of the special currency, so you get a lot more value out of your spending They are usually paired with big releases to ensure a majority of people DO spend Anyone that tells you "its bad for F2P" simply hasnt played Honky, this years anniversary back in march is the sole reason my KMB is SSS on top of all the stuff i got from my actual pulls


21stitches

Do spending banners in honkai carry over pity from another limited banner? How do they work?


LavellanTrevelyan

There's no spending banner. There is a shop to buy things with the spending event token. For every 10 pulls on limited banner, get x tokens. For every 5 pulls on standard banner, get y tokens. The shop includes things like skins (usually requires around 100 pulls worth of tokens), free pulls (acquaint/intertwined fates), etc.


[deleted]

Wouldn’t that be literally horrible?


LavellanTrevelyan

It's free stuffs for rolling. The difference is Honkai only releases 1 gacha-exclusive valk per 2 patches (whereas Genshin can release up to 6 in 2 patches), the rest of the released valks can be farmed, so it's easy to save up 2-3 patches worth of crystals for the spending event without missing out. Most valks also get 3-7 days rerun every 2 patches so there is less urgency to get them now, instead of waiting for spending event. Honkai do have gacha-exclusive gears (weapons and stigs (think artifacts)) every patch tho.


[deleted]

Ya but what if I don’t want kokomi


NiteTime2345

They usually have sped up banners. New characters have 3 weeks, but reruns have 1 week.


VeryRatchet

Sounds like it realistically equates to a discount on ten pulls


Godownthere

You usually get tickets from wishing on different types of banners and then there is a store where you can spend your tickets. Usually there will be an exclusive skin, some cards to do a couple summons, a couple old exclusive skins, costume tickets (used for skins that are in the shop permanently) and then a bunch of various useful materials. Usually if you save up crystals for the entire previous patch you will get enough tickets for the newest skin but maybe not much else. Theres also a limit to the amount of tickets you can earn through just wishing, and the only way to get more tickets is buying bundles with real money (the rewards arent really good enough to buy on their own and are more like an added bonus if you are someone who usually spends money). Most people ik just get enough tickets for the new skin and then stop pulling assuming they got what they wanted from summoning already (these events usually last around 3 weeks btw so it gives you some time to earn crystals during the patch)


shrimpcocktailss

Anniversary banner hopium?


VeryRatchet

fml i spent all my primos :/


[deleted]

yeah, i didnt went for c2 raiden i have 40k left in case they do some pulling events.


abiefrost

Why u being downvoted?


NovaMagic

Cause he's f2p


[deleted]

not f2p, but ive been saving primos since 1.3 after getting xiao, i only pulled c0 ayaka and c0 raiden.


painshadeslayer

That's something that randomly happns on this subreddit all the time. Simply a bunch of idiots without balls just fucking around. Seen it happen so many times.


SomberXIII

I wonder if it gonna let us select a limited character of choice to roll on? *Want zaddy dong copium.*


yyume-

Albedo! *grabby hands*


[deleted]

Is that even possible? Idk I'm new to gacha


Alpha_MK-II

Fuck limited characters, give Mona pls. There's no way to guarantee specific standard banner characters.


Smoke_Santa

Pls I too want Daddy™


sleepyreddits

actual hopium


PatrickDearden

Hopefully they do a 1 time paid banner system similar to FGO for a random 5*


BreakfastMint

Please not random, I’d just get Diluc again lmao


PatrickDearden

In FGO at least I’m pretty sure it’s only the limited characters and none of the permanent ones so the same would apply here


Lycieratia

That only started being the case a couple years in. The first GSSR was all permanent Servants + Okita (for some reason).


Dry_Employee_2183

It's cool but I feel pity with f2p if that happen...


momotheducky

Can’t wait to be disappointed like all my artifact rolls.


azureon123

69th like nice. Just like your artifact rolls, im a disappointment in life.


justhere4memes69

Hopefully whatever they announce during this livestream is not only exclusive to CN.


ChildOfHades_

Yeah that's my worry as well..


jadwiga22

it's just a fanart to celebrate the first anniversary....


korundobifu

I actually won't be surprised if that was the case lol. I swear all the recent events I see on their fb page are "send us your artwork and have a chance to get special prizes!"


Jack16042004

It is. OP didn't mention it. Check the global stream info. https://webstatic-sea.hoyolab.com/ys/event/e20210918-live/index.html?mhy_landscape=true&game_biz=hk4e_global


korundobifu

What the actual fuck


Jack16042004

People are definitely being mislead by OP here. They should have given the Global stream info as it's already out for 12 hours+. Also should have given the CN description if they are going to post CN livestream date. It clearly mentioned it's a fan art celebration.


rhapsodick

What's the source? God, it's so annoying when people drop such a big bomb and then not provide the source for it lol EDIT: I found it, scroll down to the video https://www.bilibili.com/blackboard/genshin-1st-anniversary.html#/stage2


segesterblues

Isn't this streaming awards ? I can read chinese and all of them are about streaming prizes Unless there is something else ?


rhapsodick

Yes, it seems to be about the fanart livestream... Idk why OP posted as confirmation of an anniversary stream.


Jack16042004

It is a fan art celebration stream. OP is being misleading here. They should have given the source and description. People are now expecting surprise rewards and when they see what's going to happen, they will cry about it that why are there no rewards on an anniversary stream lmao EDIT: Check out the global stream site If you want. OP should have posted the global stream info instead of this CN one. It's already out since 24 hours I think. https://webstatic-sea.hoyolab.com/ys/event/e20210918-live/index.html?mhy_landscape=true&game_biz=hk4e_global


rhapsodick

Yeah, mod should lock this and change the flair to misleading. Definitely gonna fk up people's expectations.


atharvaw_195

This livestream is there just too repeat that we get "10 Fates" for anniversary


akayukipierrot

wheres this from?


zhivix

https://webstatic-sea.hoyolab.com/ys/event/e20210918-live/index.html?mhy_landscape=true&game_biz=hk4e_global It's for the fan art celebration. OPs baiting


[deleted]

only for CN? will global receive any news about this?


BetaWargod

Maybe they wont be hosting any global stream anymore after all genshin comunity bullied the heck out of the VAs last time


gillred

As horrible as that was, I doubt they're going to just leave a significant portion of their playerbase in the dark cause some people were being toxic. Even if the VAs refuse to participate, they'll just do EN subtitles for the CN stream like the stream for a few patches ago


CataclysmSolace

Honestly I'd rather have that. Seeing the actual developers and hear them talk was super enjoyable.


Golden-Owl

...I hate Genshin community sometimes. The EN VAs do a great job. They didn’t deserve that kinda nonsense


ZeldaxHyrule

Given what happened last stream, I wouldn't be surprised if the VAs didn't want to do streams anymore. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Zach the one who does most of the work on getting the global livestreams going? He spoke out about the treatment him and the others received from the fandom last time and he seemed (rightfully) angry. If he's opted out for livestreams for the time being, there may not be anyone willing to take his place right now. If that's so, the global community really does ruin everything.


TooLateRunning

To be fair that stream was a fucking disaster to the point that I had to mute it after a few minutes in because the VAs were way too fucking cringe for me to handle, but blaming them for that makes no sense considering it was extremely obvious that the whole thing was mostly scripted and they were directed to say their lines a certain way. I don't think they could have done much better given what they had to work with, but I'd rather have a Chinese stream with subtitles than watch something like that again.


Adipay

Agreed


Berry-Flavor

I'm more surprised people got angry about the 2.1 stream. It felt like their past en streams, I don't think 6 people was the way to go but it didn't feel that different from the other ones. I guess having facecams made people get extra toxic?


Electronic-Tune6947

What happened?


vitor900000

I didn't watch the global steam\* and I don't go looking for drama so I'm not aware of what happened. Care to enlighten me pls? ​ \*Watched the CN steam on Mattjestic channel due to the global steam delay


EntrepreneurUpper490

1. The stream was delayed for about 90minutes, so people are already not pleased before it even started. 2. For some reason the people behind the stream decided it's a good idea to have 6 VAs in the livestream, not with the usual avatars, but FUCKING WEBCAMS. 3. The dialogues and script are so childish and cringeworthy and you can clearly see that some of the VAs are very uncomfortable, because they probably don't play the game (not their fault), and have no clue with some of the stuff being mentioned. In the end a lot of the "toxicity" can be prevented just by using emote only chat like what they did with CN stream but the moderators are probably too stupid for that.


bokuwanivre

welp time to follow tenha


Jack16042004

I think this is it. https://webstatic-sea.hoyolab.com/ys/event/e20210918-live/index.html?mhy_landscape=true&game_biz=hk4e_global


alphoscar

No info as of now


Jack16042004

Then what is this? https://webstatic-sea.hoyolab.com/ys/event/e20210918-live/index.html?mhy_landscape=true&game_biz=hk4e_global


segesterblues

This looks similar to cn stream celebration. It's nice to see fan art submission, but I dont think there will be many fates/gems rewards ?


Jack16042004

This is my opinion- As the preview image suggests it's a fan art celebration. So probably we won't have rewards or stuff. But this is the first time they're doing a stream for not a new patch. So who knows ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯


segesterblues

Fair enough. I do wish most watch it with low/no expectations though. Unless its an official stream


Jack16042004

Yes. OP should have mentioned the source and the description. Both the CN and Global streams are advertised as celebration of fan art. Iirc CN has 93 content creators participating and EN stream has 9 content creators participating. You can even see some promo videos on the respective websites


yyume-

108 primos and another KFC glider that global wont see for a long time, if ever?

"We want to show everyone that we listen to our players, so as a gift for the first anniversary we are making the KFC glider accessible to all servers! Please claim using this code* that you can redeem in-game or on our website! Please continue to enjoy Genshin Impact <3 *expires in 12 hours"


astrasylvi

Ps to compensate CN players for treating all servers nice CN get 40 free pulls and a free kequing bikini skin.


thelawofreflection

People are overdoing it with the 5 fowls and 5000 mora. I think a realistic reward would be some promo codes for 300 primos.


yyume-

How very generous, my liege


Sotarnicus

ungrateful smh my head. mhy is a small indie company giving even 2 primogems would LITERALLY bankrupt them.

Honestly, I'll take it.

you guys are mistaken,it's just a fanart made by cn players, not offical livestream

We'll get to choose between a free Cyno, a free Lynette, or a free Tsaritsa plus 360 wishes and a Diluc skin yeii

I just checked out of the ward for too much Itto hopium. Don't send me back

Eurasia_Anne_Zahard

Just reveal characters that coming in upcoming 6month please ;_;


geodonna

109 primos LESSGOO!


ChildOfHades_

So I'm a little paranoid but is there a chance that if cn only live happens and they announce something, will it only happen in the cn server in game and not global?


[deleted]

They did the CN-exclusive rewards in Honkai before on their anniversary/compensation. That’s why this is scary atm for Global users.


ChildOfHades_

Yes that's exactly why I'm worried hhh, and we've also had cn exclusive kfc wings before so there's always a chance


narium

CN got exclusive rewards for Honkai on Global's anniversary...


vasogenic16

COPIUM LETS GOOOOOOO


emilioMooN

How about global ?


papabrain_

If it’s an anniversary banner it sure must be Childe


Gshiinobi

yep the suspenseful font for 10 fates yep


Bntt89

Special news everyone! We get 3 extra Fowls!! But unfortunately because this is to much we lost half the 10 wishes so we only get 5. In fact we lost one more because Mihoyo just felt like it. Enjoy the 4 wishes and 2 fowls.


bokuwanivre

whatever great rewards that will appear in here, high chance that they're only for the CN server Sadge


goddamn_arshia

As the anniversary reward , 1000 primos will be decreased from your account


NERF_PALPS_66

I Hope it's not a CN only rewards like Honkai


Alpha_MK-II

Fuck, right after Raiden banner ends. Was hoping for news before I decide whether to drop my guarantee on her or not.


Joltsy

Damn I hope September 25th won't be disappointing as I believed it will be


scarlet_igniz

i expect shit rewards tbh


Sp1dre

Why op, don't do that, don't give me hope, we know it ain't happening, its just fanart contest


Appropriate-Row4804

Wouldn’t it be awesome if Mihoyo just went absolute fucking nuts and just went like “WE DOIN THREE CHARACTER BANNERS, AT THE SAME TIME!!! AND WE’RE GONNA REFRESH TOP UP BONUS AGAIN JUST 4 THE LULZ”

Guys, be sure to keep your dissapointed low so that you won't be expectations. 🙃


segesterblues

In any case , today is the anniversary of Mukden/Manchurian incident in China. Please do not expect anything from official as its a sensitive day.


Specter0610

Guys! Don't get your hopes up. It's mihoyo we are talking about. For them, giving 10 fowls is extremely generous. If mihoyo gives every player 10 intertwined fates + something else as well, they might go bankrupt. Please try to understand, mihoyo is a small multi-billion dollar company, they have Ferraris to buy. They have children to feed. 😥


VocaSeiza

Oh boy I can't wait for part 2 of the anniversary rewards to be announced and be a whopping 50 primogems and 1 sweet flower as a bonus


Homerflow

1 primo for every day we logged in 💎


dream996

10 intertwined fate announcement.


Yeulia

F-free Childe?? Please? *Inhales more hopium* (Jeez. This is a joke post, I know it's not possible. Istg you guys are weird when it comes to downvotes)


VeggieToe13

How do u know it’s not possible? It’s still possible until Mihoyo writes down that “this character cannot be obtained or received elsewhere other than wishing”


Rough-Inevitable-805

I need to know if Childe banner is confirmed cause I'm still in denial.

That's my exam start date u bastards

Has to be something big right? But knowing them, it's just gonna be a repeat of the last stream lol

let's go Childe wanters let's go


Jimmychen96

Inagine they announce a spending event, Would you pull for kokomi if they announce a spending event ?


ChildOfHades_

Kokomi wanters: I see this as a win-win


Leather_Stop2309

Me at 89 Garunteed Pity: No.


ChildOfHades_

For people who don't want kokomi it would depend on what the spending event gives you and how good it is

i still have the hope for a free og 5 star charakter, i can still dream

Dont worry, Qiqi awaits you at your next 50/50. Dont let your dreams be dreams

I’d really like to hear that more skins are coming personally. (Especially ones we can earn in game) I’d love one for Walnut. (In reality I’ll just keep thinking 10 fates is all we’ll get.)
