Interesting, seems MiHoYo has high-level strategists guiding them. The three routes of Abyss in Genshin Impact are a clear “play on words.” They cater to both the premium players and the casual players, and importantly, they have boosted the player base and improved the game’s reputation. It’s a “triple win” strategy!
Hello, I’m Seventeen!
· A friendly benefit for the large world difficulty
This time, the three routes of Abyss in the Genshin Impact’s Ghostly Battle Hazard (GWB) have been ingeniously designed. For the first three levels, it feels like a large-world difficulty, but as long as you can form three teams, you can easily collect 450 gil. For the average players, it’s not a burden at all, and for beginners, it can even be considered a “benefit.”
The main reason is that before the GWB difficulty reached level 5, you could still form teams with friends. New players who can’t handle it can simply ask a seasoned player to lead them, and they can collect all the rewards. Even if you don’t have characters at the right level, if your “wingman” is strong enough, beginners can easily get a “item reset feather.” How can this not be a “benefit”? If you’re not lucky enough to find a “wingman,” you can look in the comments section; maybe you’ll find one!
For premium players, it’s also a way to show their presence. Over the past five years, the gap between premium and casual players’ actual gaming experiences in Genshin Impact isn’t particularly significant, which has led to premium players not having much influence. Even in the toughest Spiral Abyss, the difference between casual and premium players was just a matter of time, and the rewards were the same. The key was there was no ranking system.
As a result, premium players didn’t have much influence in the game, and they were even targeted by marketing accounts, accused of “malicious premium spending.” However, the three routes of Abyss update has cleverly resolved this issue. Firstly, the first four levels can be played online, allowing premium players to showcase their “strength” more directly and easily.
Secondly, after completing level 6, players can obtain weapon transformation skins, which can serve as a display of their premium status. The most crucial part is that there are two difficulty levels at level 6—finishing it in 360 seconds will give you the basic transformation skin; finishing it in 180 seconds will give you the upgraded, transformation skin with effects.
This design is clear and straightforward, allowing all players to find their own place. Casual players can collect gil; veterans, light premium players, and technical players can also collect additional feathers. As for the weapon transformation skins, they don’t provide numerical boosts and don’t affect the gaming experience, so they’re irrelevant to casual players. For premium players, they symbolize their status.
In this way, the result is that the game balances the gaming experience for casual players while also satisfying premium players’ emotional value, stimulating in-game consumption. The ultimate trump card is that this approach makes it difficult for marketing accounts to manipulate the rhythm. It offers comprehensive, three-dimensional defense, leaving no room for exploitation…
In recent months, the community atmosphere has been harmonious, with everyone researching how low-level, non-premium players can complete level 5 and how low-starred characters can achieve full potential at level 6.
However, even with the clear positioning provided by the developers, some players still find ways to explore and experiment. After all, the monster’s stats have also been designed ingeniously by the developers. Many players tell me that they’re just one step away from completing it… Then, after a few consecutive attempts, they still can’t make it.
This means that the developers have already meticulously quantified the character’s star stats and monster’s health points. The reason you keep missing is not because of the wrong playstyle or insufficient artifacts, but because of the star stats. And this “one step away” is continuously pushing you, either by extending your time online or by encouraging you to consume to level up your character’s star stats.
In summary, “Cucumber Bird, Cucumber Bird,” it’s not easy. Stop playing! Why don’t I want to help everyone complete this Abyss? Because it
