People are right to be upset. Realm of Tempered Valor analysis!

I really disliked the Realm of Tempered Valor, and many other people did too. Normally I'm all for fighting events — I actually enjoy Genshin's combat, and these are often the highlight of the patch for me, especially when there isn't a new region or a new Archon Quest. While I’m not a whale and I have zero interest in hyper-investing into powerful characters or even following the meta at all, I’ve completed all the content for years — including the Abyss — and even had fun getting platinum medals on most combat events in the past. So why is this event the first one which really got my hackles up, and why do others agree? Did Hoyo do something which actually crossed a line? Or are the people who dislike it just proving Hoyo right that new endgame content would make players feel anxious? 00:00 Intro 00:41 Event basics 01:25 My perspective 02:03 Main account • Level of investment 02:56 Main account • Event experience 04:34 Main account • Initial thoughts 05:35 F2P account • Level of investment 06:27 F2P account • Event experience 07:35 Friend's account • Level of investment 09:14 Friend's account • First attempt 11:04 Friend's account • Building Mavuika 11:55 Friend's account • Second attempt 12:28 Friend's account • Building Citlali 13:11 Friend's account • Final attempt 14:15 Mavuika bait 16:12 Reward structures 18:13 The leaderboard 18:53 Conclusion Genshin Impact is an open-world action/exploration game, available on PC, PS4, PS5 and mobile devices (iOS & Android).
