Megathread Daily Questions Megathread (October 26, 2026)

2 Upvotes

Ask about anything about the game that doesn't necessarily require a dedicated thread.

That is, if your question can be answered rather quickly/without significant difficulty (e.g. "Can my phone run this game?"), ask here. If you think your question can contribute to some constructive discussions (e.g. "What do you think of Amber's combat efficiency? Here's my opinion."), make a particular post with the "discussion" flair.

I have a confirmation this will sadly be patched in 7.2, but it's so cool I thought why not just share it, have fun guys while we still can

This one is so similar to that old glitch with hydro traveler when we could summon a shit ton of xiao lanterns and dupe burst hits, now I have to find some cryo traveler glitch as well lol

Discussion These regions should have been open world not shadow realm

I was so excited to explore them till I realised they SR zones. Its such a shame to have the most beautiful places to be not part of open world.

I genuinely kinda disappointed at this decision. Genshin charm is always been open world and beautiful maps. I remember how we used to save certain locations and take pictures with favourite characters.

Pale crown and flame feather are such locations, they are so beautiful and its disappointing they are shadow real zones. Now it restrictive to even roam there.

I know the entire area is about shadow realm quest but heck its just seems a convienent reason to make a shez map look bigger when in reality devs don't need to add lot of assests that generally requires for open world map. Plus shame when entire shez map is blue ice and only two regions which has some character turns to be a SR zone.

Since Miliastra I feel maps are getting smaller since start of nodkrai, but i thought nodkrai isn't nation so alright, but sheznaya gives illusion of big map when it reality 1/3rd of the map is nothing but shadow realm.

Why is open world maps is getting sacrificed in process of these new business directions. If anything they should be additional, but not at cost of open world map.

Temple of space isn't even large as Enkanomiya, Dorm man port is tiny expansion, now pale crown and flame feather. As a exploration enthusiast this is underwhelming.

Ps - this post isn't against shadow realm, just saying shadow realm shouldn't come at the cost of open world maps. It should he addition not replacement of open world. By end of sheznayan if open world map is not big as sumeru, than my entire post about getting lesser open world will turn out to be truth. But the answer is at end, so hopefully we get a open world explorable map as big or bigger than Sumeru.

This position was so lost I genuinely put it in chess.com to see if I was missing something and nope it's just mate in 6 apparently. Matter of fact, the bishop d4 move she makes somehow makes it a mate in 5

I'm pretty sure I copied the position correctly but if I didn't oh well

It's really easy to forget that the Traveler's name is canonically Aether/Lumine and that the name the player picks is just a fake alias we've been using this entire time.

Discussion We can’t be serious(Tsaritsa assignment Spoiler

This fandoms media literacy is so done it’s insane😭

I’m sorry but Tsaritsa right to yall faces say “what you are saying doesn’t make sense in context of the rules”

Because Traveler is not talking about the Chess. It was never about Chess😭. It was to gauge Traveler’s character since the start. Chess is a means to an end.

Tsaritsa even says, that for normal games they use the normal box. This one is just for show.

The trailer of the first Snezhnaya teaser is “Transendence trailer”

And all of our journey in Snezh, we have been talking about Transcending beyond the rules of a simple game.

Pierro in “Whinter Nights Lazzo” says “The Checkmate is not when the game ends”

The fact White can’t win the game, if they play normally, is THE POINT.
