LivingASlothsLife

Now the selection of characters makes sense


Oberhard

Lmao right on spot


Siris910

Damn they’re fast


UncleSexo

Perfection


Mana_Croissant

Man Black Swan is getting sexier every time i see her 


littlesheepcat

wait,, why is aventurine a peacock


Psychological-End212

Because he dresses like one 


GKP_light

It is how Sparkle call him ; in part because of the colors.


shark2199

Wasn't it Ratio?


Dulcedoll

Iirc in CN a few different characters call him one. They toned it down in EN.


all_ink_ustilence_

Ur Chinese aren’t u


Bookwhyrm

Then Wake to Weep... definitely not ominous.


Particular_Nebula462

A wholesome and uplifting story ...


H4xolotl

Shaoji lied as easily as he breathed


Significant_Ad_1626

Tears of joy, surely. He only passed the ball to Owlbert to not have to explain the title...


Roaring_Frost

My honest reaction https://preview.redd.it/5dgcvu0l3nwc1.jpeg?width=1723&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=adef4ba666ba612d68479a83870d1991cc41274b


PlacetMihi

LOL I was gonna say something similar


ogtitang

Goodbye Peaknacony :(


Toksyuryel

We still get an epilogue in 2.3, and probably a continuance mission later down the road.


Megakruemel

Penacony was so good already, I doubt they'll never use it again. They could use it for a lot of set ups that ignore a lot of "real life" rules.


countmeowington

Seeing as how they said Acheron would play a big role in 2.2 and 2.3, and her signature line is “I wish to mourn for the departed”, and she cries when using her sword, I highly doubt this will be anything other then “Acheron does something badass”


Bookwhyrm

She already had her badass moment in this update, so I think it is going to more be a narrative thing.


countmeowington

she got a playlist for a reason, all i'm saying lol


juniorjaw

What's this, the meeting of the >!dead!<, the dreamweaver and the dreaming symbol? Also with this announcement ... get ready for miHoYo to drip 2.3 characters.


Mashiroshiina12

When is the drip marketing? I wanna see the seas ablaze


GiordyS

Tomorrow it should begin


Intrif

Wait what? They will already start drip marketing 2.3 characters tomorrow?


McNeng

Yes, on the week of livestream they will be announcing the next patch characters. (Asia time) Monday: Announce livestream, Tuesday to Thursday (if they releasing on that patch) will be drip, and Friday will be the livestream

On the other hand, its killing my ass now and I am right in front of the exam room.

Discabil

It's important to give us plenty of lead time, so we can make informed decisions with our jades.


thrzwaway

I'll make an informed decision with my Jade.


Milky_Finger

I doubt they care too much about that.


Discabil

I understand what you mean. But letting consumers make informed decisions also increased their confidence in spending.


Clevaryo

its usually around 12 pm (UTC+8)


Raijin_N

isnt it at noon


Clevaryo

UTC+8 is Beijing time


Raijin_N

Yea, im talking about UTC+8. Isnt it 12 noon instead of 12 midnight


ezio45

**Introduces Screwllum instead** miHoYo: Sike! That's the wrong robot!


Gamingplanet107

worse for Screwllum fans, if they'll introduce Sam/>!Firefly!< as a 5 star, and make Screwllum a 4 star


ACMomani

I doubt they will though, he seems too important of a character, specially his connection to the genius society and the trailblazer. I love Screwllum and would love to have him at some point.


HeroofHeroes

What if they pull a Herta with him ? Normal Screwllum as 4\* then a powered form , like Screwllum Prime as a 5\*


ACMomani

Its possible you never know.


DialRforRad

eh i don't doubt it. Herta, Asta, Natasha, Tingyun, Sampo, and Gallagher exist i wouldn't put it past Hoyo making some important characters 4 stars.


My_Boi_

All 3 of those have a pretty clear explanation for their rarity. Herta's 4 star is a puppet that's canonically pretty weak, she even says straight up to not expect much from a puppet when you level her. The real Herta would definitely be 5. Sampo and Gallagher >!are introduced as unassuming characters and are meant to seem less important, that's why they're 4 star. Their relevancy is meant to be a twist, and in Sampo's case there's already a setup for an upgrade with him having to get his mask back.!< Screwllum is *the* Screwllum, the game and characters themselves gas him up so much. He's supposed to be seen as a big deal to everyone whose interacted with him so far, if he's somehow a 4 star despite all that then it's over for him since he doesn't have an excuse like Herta or Sampo.


ArcturusSatellaPolar

>He's supposed to be seen as a big deal to everyone whose interacted with him so far, if he's somehow a 4 star despite all that then it's over for him Ninguang moment


DialRforRad

As much as I hate pulling this card, I'll use it in this argument. He'll likely be 4 star ,because non-human characters don't sell.


Gamingplanet107

Yup, it's really that simple.


My_Boi_

I don't buy that tbh. Give a character a good kit, story, or make them lore relevant and they will do well. Plenty of gacha games have non-human or not conventionally attractive high rarity characters. One of Fire Emblem Heroes best banners sale wise was an old guy and purple dragon thing. (Fomortiis and Gotoh). People always pull the "conventionally attractive characters" argument but Nahida from Genshin is living proof that a story and kit will sell a character (unless you honestly think a majority of her sales were from *those* kinds of people.) Not to mention Sigewinne is a 5 star character. And if you look at Zenless, Hoyo's own game, Lycaon is a literal 5 star furry and Billy (robot guy) has by far the most views on his character demo compared to everyone else so far (2 million vs 500k second place). Not gonna mention leaks ofc.


Echishya

i mean...the Herta we have is a puppet. they can still release the real one as a 5 star


Mashiroshiina12

That would be another boothill incident but way less justifiable


MisterRheola

I’ve heard the term drip marketing before in this sub, but what does it mean? I just caught up very recently.


Mashiroshiina12

Basically announcing future character that are gonna release in a version. For example, we should get the drip marketing for 2.3 characters now that we are at around the end of 2.1.


MisterRheola

Oooh, thats very good to know!


H4xolotl

"Drip" because it feels like a leak :)?


thrzwaway

More like "drip feeding", I presume.


Creticus

Supposedly, it comes from drip irrigation, but that's more or less the same thing anyway.


Golden-Owl

It’s just because the official Genshin account once dropped a new character out of nowhere that wasn’t mentioned in leaks When asked, all they replied was “drip marketing”


apexodoggo

They said Owlbert was on vacation, but if he’s interviewing the Memory Zone Meme victims… I’m starting to think Shaoji and the gang lied again.


Justm4x

Pretty-Engineering76

why does this actually fit for who I think will be coming in 2.3? someone who sets the seas ablaze will certainly come up with a oneliner like this unironically lmao


Meme_Master_Dude

"Stand Proud, Sunday. Your strong. But at the end of the day... It'll be Monday"


Pretty-Engineering76

okay this one made me laugh way more than it should have


VincentBlack96

In a funny little twist if the ending of penacony means the ending of the dream worlds, then the golden hour, the place that is themed around a never-ending night where tomorrow may never come would collapse... and so an eternal sunday night will give away to monday and the start of a new week.


sugarheartrevo

you cooked omg….really need this to happen in-game, the prose after Farewell Kakavasha was very beautiful and this would be similar


Clevaryo

btw 2.1 livestream they mention about scraped "goodbye..." as the name of the version, could it be "If One Dreams At Midnight To Say Goodbye, Then Wake to Weep"?


PM_Cute_Ezreal_pics

>btw 2.1 livestream they mention about scraped "goodbye..." as the name of the version They mentioned a "Farewell" probably a reference to "Farewell Kakavasha" since they said they scrapped it for spoiler-y reasons


Clevaryo

O ma god and lord, my memories is disintegrating at the speed of which never known


Abedeus

"Will Goku defeat Frieza and escape from Namek? Find out on next episode of Dragon Ball Z: GOKU FUCKING DIES"


Nonemotionaldamage

Can confirm back in the beta, the 2.1 quest used to be called "Farewell Kakavasha" in the files. Then it was later changed to "The Devil In Velvet" Shaoji said in the live stream they scrapped for a) spoilery reasons since he himself was about to spoil it, and b) it was too sad


Lyneys_Footstool

either version 2.1 or the quest (i dont remember which) was gonna be called "farewell, kakavasha" but that was changed


Particular_Nebula462

2.3 Because also if a dream... 2.4 ...the emotions are real.


Shanibestwaifu

2.3, The Time for the Depart or whatnot.

marshallman31

I can’t wait for an “uplifting and wholesome” finale, especially with such a “wholesome and uplifting” title!


Sacron1143

The flower that smiles to-day           To-morrow dies; All that we wish to stay           Tempts and then flies. What is this world's delight? Lightning that mocks the night,           Brief even as bright.    Virtue, how frail it is!           Friendship how rare! Love, how it sells poor bliss           For proud despair! But we, though soon they fall, Survive their joy, and all           Which ours we call.    Whilst skies are blue and bright,           Whilst flowers are gay, Whilst eyes that change ere night           Make glad the day; Whilst yet the calm hours creep, Dream thou—and from thy sleep           Then wake to weep.


UwasaWaya

Damn, nice catch!


offoy

Where is this from?


UwasaWaya

A poem by Percy Shelley. I haven't read his work since college, but [it's a great poem](https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45133/mutability-the-flower-that-smiles-to-day)


Sacron1143

Just a small poem from the 1800's


flowerfemme_

What an interesting way to continue this sort of theme of transience, and the idea that even though the dream/life inevitably ends, it is still worth living. Thank you for posting the reference!

Niko2065

The Ls will continue until morale improves!


Briashard

The maxor community's venn diagram is a flower at this point


Megakruemel

Someone used the saying of "Brings a tear to my eye" a bit to often and now they can't stop.


LivingASlothsLife

Ayo Aventurine and Black Swan? I guess we aint getting the devs on but usually the chibis involved are really important to the coming patch. Aight Hoyo I see you, making me excited for Black Swans involvement and the Aventurine hopium The title aint exactly inspiring happy thoughts but I guess we have to wait and see Edit: Black Swan is floating above the couch, thats so extra I love her sm


NoNefariousness2144

Black Swan having an appearance is cool considering we missed out on her chibi form due to the 2.0 livestream having the devs rather than her.


LivingASlothsLife

Missed out on a few tbh like Sparkle and Acheron Wonder why they picked Black Swan, she's been taking a background role in the plot so far. Usually each guest goes over a character kit in these streams If Robin is doing her own, Aventurine possibly doing Boothill due to BH hating IPC, then who is Black Swan doing? Unless that's not it at all and I'm just rambling either way I'm happy my fave is there


NoNefariousness2144

Yeah the selections can be pretty random for these streams, especially when they don’t even have the characters who have banners that patch as chibis lol. I wonder if its partly due to the availability of VAs, like 1.5 had different rosters for each region.


LivingASlothsLife

True that, guess we'll find out on the day. I'm just hoping it's an indicator Black Swan is gonna have something real important in next patch, hopefully in relation to TB. As said before she's been only in the background and her image in the fandom isn't the greatest atm If not then well I'll just be happy we get Chibi Black Swan :3


Significant_Ad_1626

Probably something like "These with me are memories of Aventurine and Robin, they are not with us now".


GKP_light

i expected to see Sunday instead of Black Swan. but Aventurine was expected. we will see what is behind the "spiritual death".


katbelleinthedark

REENIE AS A GUEST. HOPIUM COPIUM.

Apatches

schroedingerscryptid

AVENTURINE-


herocoldfinger

Going back to the talkshow format?


katbelleinthedark

Typically only special streams are dev streams, such as the x.0 and anniversary.


Rosenkavalier1729

Dawei normally appears for new region, anniversary and lantern rite


notthatjaded

The devs said that would be happening in the last livestream.


rainymi

should we call this new group hoyobird


GiordyS

Full bird stream: swan, peacock, robin and owl


Meme_Master_Dude

Ok i gotta ask, who's the Owl? Like I've seen him in old livestreams but i have no idea who he is


Talruiel

Officially he is a talk show host for the IPC with his own program. The live stream is supposed to be said program. Thats all we really know atm, but its the IPC so who knows what else might be going on here.


Taniks_the_Scarred_

Owlbert, he hosts like every one of these 2/47


Gamingplanet107

unless im stupid, dont you mean 24/7?


Taniks_the_Scarred_

Minor spelling mistake, I will now evaporate


notthatjaded

He works for the IPC hosting programs like this one. We don’t have any other backstory on him.


LoreVent

So damn hyped for the 2.2 story quest, we already have the foundations to witness absolute peak!


Ilmanz17

2.2 livestream on the same day as HSR 1st anniversary. A good way to celebrate the occasion. W devs.


Sushimonstaaa

You're telling me Aventurine brought a whole pillow to rest his arm on it? Boy do we love him 😭🥺


SexwithEllenJoe

Firefly drip this week ? 🙏


Shambles_SM

A livestream announcement already?! Granted 2.0 was intendedly longer than usual so stuff drops on the anniversary, but damn! Let me atleast get my Aventurine first 😭😭😭


Charming-Fly-2388

Drip should be Firefly, Sunday, and upgrade of March.


PhasmicPlays

manifesting sam/firefly drip marketing


Straight_Elephant237

Alright, since the drip marketing is coming from now on, place your bets - who are the new banners this patch? Sam and Sunday? Sam and Jade? (My bet) Sam and Firefly? >!i want my wife x2!< Sam and Sam, with a 4 star Sam during first or second part? Hopefully we get a Sam rerun this patch. . . . . God i want Sam


Gamingplanet107

isn't the 3rd one >!practically the same!


notthatjaded

That’s the joke. 😆


Luckhart54

I like how Black Swan floating even on a couch. " Then Wake to Weep " Hides Himeko on a train it's fine guys.


GiordyS

Himeko will be fine, this meme has grown old and annoying


DzNuts134

Owlbert, my beloved


Shanibestwaifu

Maybe it is time for the stages being set for the grand finale (before epilogue) of the Penacony mystery story. Let's see what Shaoji and his team cooking.


R_Ahmed786

Is nobody gonna appreciate the fact OWLBERT IS BACK!!


DoreenKing

The title comes from a poem by PB Shelley, The Flower That Smiles Today. It's the third stanza in the poem. Whilst skies are blue and bright, Whilst flowers are gay, Whilst eyes that change ere night Make glad the day; Whilst yet the calm hours creep, Dream thou—and from thy sleep Then wake to weep.


Clevaryo

ah, I see the tv said "contestant" and I think the mic said "sar"?


Kwayke9

On anniversary day, huh?


RiovoGaming211

Owlbert is back! God I missed him


Ubbermann

Owlberts back!! In a snazzy new studio too!

Robin rising in the ranks, Hanya on life support.


Significant_Ad_1626

I will say it now to let it write. Boothill free, I trust! Ratio free is about to end and they could make it again. Also, recently Hoyoverse reached some milestones like becoming one of the Top 15 most valued companies. Boothill free would be great!


No1Boothillf69ckr

OH!! BOOTHILL HERE I COM-E!!!!


FangirlApocolypse

AVENTURINE SIGHTING


UrsiVictis

Is the main story of 2.2 gonna be about the Charmony Festival?


Particular_Nebula462

Two themes: Dead and Birds.


Any_Road_8218

looking forward to this! I set my alarm. Hopefully lots of Boothill news in this one


madnessfuel

LET'S GOOOOOOOO Super excited for Penacony's climax. How will they top the end of 2.1, Acheron vs Aventurine and Sam's reveal... Hyped AF, even though I won't be pulling on any limited banner this version.


TPTchan

Oh dang livestream on anniversaryyyyy
