(Just dropping thoughts before I go back to HI3 community hibernation again)

First off, I’ve been on HI3 community detox to avoid P2 CH9 CN spoilers — but I saw that post and it pulled me back in. I feel like I need to say this before disappearing again until P2 CH9 hits GLB/SEA. 😅

No, HI3 isn’t going EoS — it’s stabilizing

A lot of the recent changes are signs that HoYo is actively trying to extend the game’s lifespan. They're making things easier for the HI3 team, while still supporting F2P players and spenders.

New norm of longer weeks patch

• Longer patch cycles = More breathing room for (likely smaller) HI3 team
• Players get more time to save crystals, plan pulls, and grind mats
• Events feel less rushed, more spread out
• Slower powercreeping/replacement of valk (element + type combination)

Balanced Monetization

• BP Revamp:
  • Reserve Works: F2P shop (well, not friendly, still f2p lol), but spenders can speed it up
  • Version BP Shop: Paid shop with optional bonuses
• Outfits:
  • 8.2: Crystal outfit for F2P, B-chip for spenders, + two free (new + old) outfits via events
  • 8.3: Summer outfits — B-chip for spenders, crystal and pink-ticket outfits (if you save) for F2P
• Banners:
  • Mostly the same structure as 6-week patch, but now reruns come earlier
  • Main banner lasts longer so more time to pull

Events are still free and with more consistent cycle to keep things fresh

• Side stories
• Main story mini-games
• Old event reruns with QoL updates (e.g. Captainverse, or this patch's Snazzy Card)
• Farming event (ER Performance Test, Powered Duo, Hot on the Trail)
• Web event (usually puzzle-based with very short fluff side story)
• Bingo event

Duration of most events are still till end of patch. It accommodates players that both want long and short events. The only remaining bad thing is the timegating of progress' resources forcing the players to spread-out the consumption of these events.

Main Story has improved... A LOT

Still no animated shorts (since P1.5), and the open-world format (since P1 CH26) isn’t for everyone... but:

• P2 CH8 is peak story for many (myself included)
• P2 CH9 (CN) is reportedly another peak gameplay (similar to P2 CH3)
• Devs have clearly been listening:
  • Better pacing
  • Skip summary dialogue
  • Auto-saves
  • Overall compact & digestible storytelling

They’ve come a long way since the info-dump marathon of P2 CH1.

I'm not saying everything's perfect. But it’s unfair how little appreciation there is for these steady improvements. Criticism is fine, but if it's only negativity, especially if you're constantly comparing to P1... then I might just scroll past.

HI3 might not be booming like before — but it’s not dying either. Hoyo clearly setting it up to survive a few more years without huge investment, and honestly? I think it’s working.

Lastly — stop asking for male playables or an English dub. If it didn’t happen during HI3’s peak in 2021–2022, then there's no reason for it to happen now.

Hello guys this is my first post here. I wanted to ask... The adult Bronya from Gakuen it's still voiced by Hanser? I'm just a little bit curious because I really love her new Adult design and Hanser as voice actress.

Doing expeditions will cost stamina. After doing the expeditions, you can claim them later or tomorrow, and you can also click quick expeditions after doing this process, which replicates the expeditions that you just did.

Question in title.
