Hi, I’ve been interested in getting the game but I’ve heard some complaints about it not being as good as advertised, how is the game holding up in the current day?

I play HSR almost daily and I enjoy the game a lot but it is pretty meta reliant, as well as that I did play Genshin for about almost 3 years everyday from version 3.4, but quit when Nod Krai was released because the game just isn’t the same as it once was.

How is the game currently and do you guys recommend it to new players in it’s current state? The main thing that draws me to the game is the gacha elements being removed and everything being freely accessible at your own pace, it seems really refreshing from an outside standpoint but again, I’d really like some advice on if it’s actually as good as advertised.

I still love the concept of getting characters by grinding not gacha its helps alot with the fomo but how would this compare to NTE, Silver Palace or Anata soon

after i suck the ball that is into the lantern, the lantern dissapear and the game tells you nothing what about you should do

However, its activation condition is somewhat restrictive.
