2020: Small hole

2024: Big Hole

[–]TommaClock 141 points142 points  (0 children)

2032: 4D hypervoid.

[–]Sereeeeene 34 points35 points  (1 child)

Ditto shaped hole in 2024

[–]Alexithexs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it looks like more of a silhouette of a cat, but yeah I can see that!

[–]Treyspurlock Raging Tide:Fantastic Voyage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That hole didn't actually exist in 2020 I think, a lot of that ocean was added with Inazuma, dragonspine still didn't exist but it wasn't a circular hole like on this map

[–]CutePotat0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So genshin map is just a mutant donut

[–]SnakeTGK 1396 points1397 points  (64 children)

Beeing a new player must be a wild ride. I just created a secondary account for the first time (day 1 player), and I just can't fathom how many hours I'd have to spend to explore everything again...

[–]godcyric 522 points523 points  (22 children)

I started in november. Just reached Fontaine this week.

I play evedyday, and there is soo much to do and see

[–]Bovoduch 229 points230 points  (13 children)

Lmao I started in November too and only just completed Inazuma. I am taking my TIME.

[–]shahido2017 114 points115 points  (9 children)

Started in October and still only at the first inazuma quest. 200 hours in and Half of my map is undiscovered. I’m just running around fighting shit and climbing random walls, it’s a blast lmao

[–]Phil95xD 119 points120 points  (4 children)

For both of you and the sake of your fun in the game: please don't you listen ever to anyone that want you to rush more. Don't haste through the game and take all the time you need. You may miss some events, but if you feel forced to rush through the game, you may lose the fun in the game. Take your time amd do as you like it. Have a good one traveler.

[–]Otiosei 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was my biggest regret, starting this game in 1.1 during the event that gave Fischl for free. I plowed through the story as quickly as possible, ran all the way through Liyue ignoring all the surroundings just to progress that event.

On one hand, I did get to see the limited event that introduced Scaramouche; on the other hand, I basically ruined all my first impressions with Liyue and barely paid attention to the latter half of the Mondstadt quests.

I think I pulled Fischl in 1.2 anyways and had her c6 in 2.1, so rushing content for the free copy didn't matter.

[–]Le_Br4m 10 points11 points  (2 children)

The one thing I will recommend: either place a marker or check the box on the interactive map tool WHEN YOU FIND ANY OF THE …OCULI!! There is nothing worse than having fun exploring and then handing in the oculi and seeing that you’ve missed one, and having to go to EVERY SPAWNPOINT EVER to check if that’s the one you missed

[–]Phil95xD 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Lol. For one missed oculi? Please don't search through the map. If you have the reputation high enough, you'll get the resonance stone. It'll help you to find the location and it doesn't come with the high price.

[–]Le_Br4m 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah right I forgot about that!

[–]makogami 10 points11 points  (0 children)

this is the way

[–]lostn 6 points7 points  (2 children)

for me having that much to do at once is nightmare material. If I were starting today, I don't think I would play. I'd look at how much there is to do and say, nope. That's too much.

Back then we were forced to take our time because there was nothing else to do. I felt this was a better experience. More manageable.

Now if I were starting again, I don't know how I would tackle it. Probably do only archon quests, and leave all exploration till later. And I would leave world quests too like the expansion areas unless there was something important to unlock.

[–]T1nyJazzHands 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started in October and the way I managed that was only moving to the next statue of seven map section after I was happy with my exploration of what I already had open. I’m up to speed now but having a blast going back with my treasure compass :)

[–]StringTheory31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It helps if you're new to gaming in general and have only an extremely vague idea of what else is waiting for you! I also find that the flexibility of game play allows me to satisfy both my ADHD brain and the contradictory aspects of my Autistic brain!

Autism: Ah, a nice, tidy quest list! We can do them in order, and then analyze the rewards to boost the best items using the discards as level up material. So satisfying!

ADHD: Nope, I don't have the executive function to focus on quests right now! Which areas haven't I explored / unlocked yet? (This also speeds up later quests via already-unlocked teleport points, which is good, because my whole brain hates when things take longer than they need to!)

[–]solwyvern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If all the limited time events and areas since the beginning of the game were somehow playable to new players you could easily add a couple of months worth of gameplay

[–]DaKingOfDogs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You think you’re taking your time? I started last March and I’m not even done Inazuma!

Although I did take a long, LONG break lasting until 4.1

[–]raven8fire 20 points21 points  (3 children)

Started last spring/summer while hsr was having a slow period. I'm just about to get to the desert part of sumeru story wise. I've unlocked most of the way points though for farming character materials.

Actually I've put off going into the desert. I've been really excited to start it but wanted to catch up on some of the story and world quests.

[–]Rough_Memory1089 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Bro, honest talk here, I absolutely hate world quest in Sumeru rainforest

BUT WORLD QUEST IN SUMERU DESERT IS SO GOOD, THE DESERT MIGHT LOOK DRY AND EMPTY, BUT THEY WAY THEY HANDLE THE WORLD QUEST IN SUMERU DESERT IS JUST, Chef kiss

I rate Sumeru Desert world quest the best out of all, I enjoy it

[–]hackenclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the goal is try your best to find as many chest as you can while exploring, do it from Monstadt then move to start in next nation one by one.

If you do this way it is going to take a while b4 you reach Fontaine, you wont be bored this way because you got so many to catch up till the latest content.

[–]percula1869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will run out quicker than you realize. I started a year ago and ran out of both chests and quests before Fontaine was released. I really wish I had taken my time more.

[–]cedarsauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing since launch and I still haven't even 50% most of sumeru. That place is HOLLOW

[–]ACExBEAST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait wtf i started in may and became ar 55 in june ez man

[–]Freezing_Athlete2062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in early August on my main account and basically finished the Sumeru main quest by mid October and then realized I was going to run out of content, so I stopped, not going back to it until Natlan. I did explore the whole map, though. My alt was stared at the end of December, and I have barely touched the main quest. I explored the entire map and was Ar 30 before going back to it a day ago.

[–]Anatolian_Archer 19 points20 points  (14 children)

I started 10 days ago and just finished Inazuma. That should be like 40% of the map.

Is there much content in that Desert ?

Edit: It seems this game will keep me entertained for at least a month.

[–]Zenkei88 55 points56 points  (5 children)

Desert has a shitton of content , secrets , game mechanics , a lot of backtracking and the best npc in the game

[–]SevereArtisan 34 points35 points  (1 child)

best npc in the game

Jeht!

[–]Jona-wahn 100% exploration 19 points20 points  (0 children)

JUSTICE FOR JEHT

[–]LARGames 5 points6 points  (1 child)

But Dunyarzad doesn't live in the desert.

[–]active-tumourtroll1 ORDER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeht is best girl and she can fight making it so I don't have to worry about elemental reactions as much while fighting with her.

[–]Spartitan Liyue Qixing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Personal recommendation is to take your time and enjoy the world quests. Starting with Inazuma and the Sakura blossoms, they start getting much better. And there will be a ton for you to do, so relax and enjoy it.

[–]Rough_Memory1089 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Desert is significantly better+easier in term of exploring, world quest is goated, you'll have a god damn good time with it.....

But it's completely opposite for Sumeru rainforest....I hate them....

[–]Barrack 0 points1 point  (3 children)

A month…

Is nobody going to tell him?

[–]RedBlueGai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started just two weeks ago (or three? Can’t remember lol), I can safely say I’ve been playing every day for 3-5 hours and I’ve explored only the 2020 portion of the map lol

[–]truss_yourself 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I started with 1.0 but dropped the game after Dragonspire. I returned in 3.7 in July 2023 and it took me until the middle of December to be almost caught up (there's still a few hangouts and smaller quests to do) with everything while playing it as my primary game. Still only at 60-70% exploration in much of Sumeru. And this is just Inzauma/Sumeru/Fontaine and Chasm, with Monstadt/Liyue already done. There is A LOT of content in this game.

[–]TempoRamen95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started in November. Yeah it's a lot.

[–]xgosglir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took me a year to catch up lol I started around this time last year and it was last week I've finally finished Fontaine archon quest

[–]Shot-Ad-955 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I feel overwhelmed cause I’ve pulled a bunch of 5 stars from areas further ahead of me so I can’t ascend cause no materials and I can’t kill the bosses with those materials lol

[–]DiaborMagics[🍰] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you know someone who plays the game too they can help you in the overworld and help you get to the parts where you need to farm for those characters.
A friend of mine just started playing 1,5 week ago and pulled Raiden Shogun and while he rushes a lot (his own choice, I did not advice him to do so) and has already finished the first 3 region's archon stories (and thus unlocked the proper bosses) and statues, it helps for him that I've already played the game a lot. I have helped him get many materials and his Ei/Raiden Shogun and Mona are already both lvl 70 with lvl 70 weapons.
An experienced player can help you set priorities for your personal goals. I asked him what he wanted most, which charcters he wanted to focus on and I helped him get on track with that. I hop into his world to help him where I can and give him a lot of tips along the way.

Maybe if you have someone like that, it will help you. 95% of my playtime since last week has been just helping him. Honestly I find it a lot of fun to do that, so that helps. But he can rush as much as he wants (which he likes to do in many games), while he has me to ask for advice etc. when he has choice overload or something.

[–]Hush_and_SleepWaiting for Dain's banner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started playing with Sumeru. Only managed to get everything done before Summer event (I just love exploration)

It was definitely overwhelming sometimes

[–]jeff_64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Started playing after the 2nd desert expansion and to be honest it was amazing. I was super into the game after a bit and having all that content was a ton of fun, not to mention exploring the map.

[–]babyloniangardens 1 point2 points  (1 child)

My brother, sister and I are going to make New Accounts when all of Mainland Teyvat has been added in

....originally, I thought that all of Teyvat would be added in by Snezhnaya's release but now I'm not so sure hahaha......I could see them continually adding More & More to all the Nations, even post Khaenri'ah/Celestia if they want

[–]hackenclaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you dont need to make new acc, you guys can choose a diff server to play from there. It saves you to trouble to log out/log in, especially you plan to do daily mission getting the primo gems.

If your ping time stays below 250ms it is not too bad. The game is quite "ping immune".

[–]AreEuclidinMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started in May. I have over 500 hours and only like 3 or 4 of my regions are 100%

[–]Deer_Noelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am honestly terrified of Sumeru, that place is going to take soo long to explore...

[–]RoseSpinoza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I remember feeling the game was huge back when i started in Jan 2021!

[–]impulsikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just doing the aranara quest chain took me multiple weekends.

[–]Spartan_117_YJR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me like 1 and a half months to clear from start to Fontaine.

Was fun

My first 5* was zhongli and my team throughout all the way to Fontaine was kaeya, xiangling, sucrose zhongli. My first dps was hu tao then neuv

[–]I_dont_really_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who started in 1.0 wasn’t big on it and came back last summer I’m still overloaded and more and more areas are opening up talk about overload

[–]ShawHornet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk about this with my friend a lot. I personally would get overwhelmed and end up quitting probably if I just started

[–]pfemme2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started about a week ago. I don’t recognize anywhere on these maps? lol.

[–]Tawxif_iq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And people wanted "End game". If you think as a new player, the whole game has many things to do with just exploration and quests.

[–]zzokkss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i started playing in like 2021 and ive only reaxhed 100% exploration on one mond region 😭💀

[–]DiaborMagics[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah. though my friend started playing a week and a half ago... already adventure rank 41, mondstadt/liyue/inazuma archon quests done (with some char story quests and many world quests too) and statues maxed (used the interactive map).

Honestly he's done some puzzles and stuff I haven't even done while I'm a day 1 player too (I have a lot of content to go because at some point it just became login, spend resin, do commissions, maybe an event, see what i can do to level my latest character and then logout and ive kinda stuck to that for the most part) and he's also already been to sumeru to grab the blue mushrooms for collei.This guy is steamrolling stuff. I hope he doesn't get burned out. Still a lot to do of course as the game is huge by now, but I think it took me like 2 months or more to get adv. rank 40. I don't quite remember, but compared to me, he's super fast. Actually... I don't even have inazuma's or sumeru's statues done yet xD That said, I don't use the interactive map and I don't mash through stories.

I hope his missus isnt too mad at me for recommending him this game xD

[–]NDT06 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thats probably the last thing i would do becuz though it was fun,i just dont want to spend countless days to do it all over again

[–]Marylicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost done with archon quests but omg, I have so many world quest, story quests, most of my map is in 10%. I only have one small part of mondstadt in 100%. I play daily and I'm kinda obsessed 😭

[–]AKscrublord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started around the beginning of Sumeru and had 100% map exploration by the time of Fontaine release

[–]Tiramisukxy 354 points355 points  (4 children)

Man, I was expecting the old map to be small, but not THIS small when compared, + excluding chasm and enkanomiya. We come a long way do we? And we are not even done with 2 more nations and an unknown amount of subareas.

[–]LARGames 97 points98 points  (2 children)

And it still used to feel big at the time. lol

[–]Quartapple 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Yup, I remember finishing the Mond AQ back in 1.0 only to think "wait, there's an entire other region??"

Nowadays when we get new regions they're as big as the 1.0 map by themselves lol

[–]Adamiak 17 points18 points  (0 children)

...and khaenriah

...and potentially more

[–]Pawuelo 245 points246 points  (1 child)

and when i started at the beginning of the game i thought that map is really big

[–]azmarteal 74 points75 points  (0 children)

It was really big, the map now is just enormous.

What differentiate Genshin from the majority of other open world games with big maps is that in Genshin there is actually a lot to explore and to do on this territory and you can actually climb anywhere you want.

[–]Zzamumo 253 points254 points  (8 children)

This is excluding the chasm, enkanomiya, and all the underground areas btw

[–]Sydorovich 124 points125 points  (6 children)

And all limited event maps.

[–]SoulofZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the area with stopped time.

[–]Available_Reporter_9 92 points93 points  (1 child)

Bro, who remembers when we only had 120 resin. 🤣

[–]adraganas 43 points44 points  (0 children)

right. hopefully resin will increase. 200 huhuhuhu

[–]narocroc10 61 points62 points  (1 child)

The graphic doesn't really do it justice when you think about how 3 dimensional (multilayered) the additions are compared to original Monstadt and Liyue. Not counting the non-Fontain water you can almost double the total area with the depth.

[–]Adamiak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can't, since all underwater area has nothing on the surface

[–]YinWei1 135 points136 points  (2 children)

Exploring mondstadt at launch was still the best experience I've had with the game.

I can appreciate the complexity and ideas of the new terrain levels they are going for, but there was something satisfying about just exploring a surface level, simpler designed area like Mondstadt and Liyue.

[–]Rough_Memory1089 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Good, and you'll be surprised about Sumeru desert, it's like monstardt, but even more plain, flat and orange + cool fkin middle eastern bgm too

[–]taytay_1989 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think they were already a veteran player..

[–]Darksouls_enjoyer 162 points163 points  (4 children)

Day 1 player here. It's fabulous how the game has become and yet there are 2 more nations excluding additions like realms ( e.g ekanoamia ).

[–]missy20201AR60 | 69 points70 points  (2 children)

I love your spelling of Enkanomiya

[–]Darksouls_enjoyer -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I have %11 there. Never liked the place lol

[–]Caosnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, technically speaking, 2 more nations (with their expansions), probably the Abysse and new Khaenria and definitely Celestia at some point

Also, let's not forget expanded areas that don't belong to a specific nation like the Mare Jivari and the whole desert between Natlan and Sumeru or other islands around the coasts of Teyvat

[–]Deshik2 30 points31 points  (4 children)

best thing is that you can now stand directly under celestia

[–]BaronOfBob 24 points25 points  (3 children)

Traveller can just stand there shaking fist at sky

[–]Deshik2 11 points12 points  (2 children)

we repaired thier communication device maybe we can talk

[–]LoneWolfHero35 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Considering that it's most likely that everything up there is dead... we would only recieve silence. An unnatural, and deadly silence.

[–]DiaborMagics[🍰] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dead? i dont think ive paid enough attention then O.O unless it's learned in fontaine world quests. I haven't done many yet.

[–]Revenger1984 58 points59 points  (7 children)

That big spot in the middle is just weird

[–]tirius99 100 points101 points  (0 children)

It'll be filled out when they have a Sumeru event that expands that area. We'll also get new area south of Liyue with Blackcliff Forge. So a lot more new areas planned.

[–]x_iaoc_hen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They are preparing for a future map of Sumeru, which also has a small harbour to the north, although this area may belong to more than just Sumeru, maybe it is also belong to Khaenriah.

[–]SnakeTGK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not weird, it's metamorph !

[–]god_walks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a JOJO reference

[–]The_Mysterious999 I support child slavery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a BIG gap.

[–]BokaBurek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks like ditto

[–]Cosimov 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I just keep looking back and forth. It's so pretty. As a Day 1 player, I love looking back at the map and seeing how much the world has grown, and how much room it still has to grow.

[–]OfferThese 15 points16 points  (8 children)

Holy..! I joined in summer 2022 so I didn't realize the map was THAT small at launch. Was the Chasm added first, or Inazuma? Was there a mountain in sight out-of-bounds before Dragonspine was added to the map? Was Dragonspine the first expansion?

[–]TheMoises 39 points40 points  (6 children)

The map expansions were:

  1. Mondstad (DragonSpine)
  2. Golden Apple Archipelago (event-only map)
  3. Inazuma (Narukami, Yashiori and Kannakuza)

  15. Fontaine (Liffey and Fontaine's Institute of Research)
  16. Fontaine (Erinnyes Forest and Morte Region)
  17. Liyue (Chenyu Valley Southern Mountain and Chenyu Valley Upper Vale)

[–]Koanos 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Mondstat underwater from lack of region updates.

That said, I'm cool with the amount it has so far because it has a cool niche as a simple starter region.

[–]RCTD-261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Golden Apple Archipelago (again, modified) (event-only map)

and don't forget, that map have another version where you can switch using some kind of portal

i forgot how big it is

[–]horiami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was also the three realm event where they modified enkanomiya a little

[–]emmademontford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you could see Dragonspine before it was available to go to, it’s quite cool cause the old model they used is very different from what you can explore now

[–]Noe_Establishment[🍰] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love how incomplete the map is, really feels like we’re wandering the land :D There are defo big gaps in my real life map too

[–]CarioGod electro gang 12 points13 points  (1 child)

We had dragonspine in 2020, if you're referring to launch then you would need to crop out the golden house since that came out in 1.1

[–]LinkDaPugg[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'll do better next time :))

[–]TheMoises 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Copying and pasting my own comment. The map expansions were:

  1. Mondstad (DragonSpine)
  2. Golden Apple Archipelago (event-only map)
  3. Inazuma (Narukami, Yashiori and Kannakuza)
  4. Inazuma (Watatsumi and Seirai)
  5. Inazuma (Tsurumi)
  6. Inazuma (Enkanomiya)
  7. Liyue (Chasm)
  8. Golden Apple Archipelago (again, modified) (event-only map)
  9. Sumeru Rainforest (Lokapala Jungle, Avidya Forest, Ardravi Valley, Ashavan Realm, Vissuhda Field, Old and current Vanarana)
  10. Sumeru Desert (Hypostyle Desert, Lower and Upper Setekh)

  17. Liyue (Chenyu Valley Southern Mountain and Chenyu Valley Upper Vale)

[–]krabbypatis 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Islands below Dragonspine looks like the Philippines to me 😮

[–]EmperorMaxwell 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Wonder if that patch is supposed to be part of Liyue, Sumeru, Fontaine or a bit from all 3?

[–]thienphucn1 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It's Sumeru. The area has a town called Bayda Harbor which was mentioned once in a short world quest.

Half of that hole in the middle is just water to connect with Fontaine but the other half should still be big enough for anmap expansion in the future

[–]Rinkakuja 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fully sumeru most likely, we can already see Fontaine’s border with its waterfall and it’d be odd if liyue was shaped like a hook around the jungle. I’m guessing it’ll be Bayda Harbor and lots of water connecting the 3 nations

[–]TunaTunaLeeks Try not to enjoy this too much! 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I can’t wait to finally see more Mondstadt regions added eventually. I’m guessing we might not see it until it starts getting closer to going to Snezhnaya.

[–]LinkDaPugg[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm curious about what's behind Brightcrown and that area

[–]Jinchuriki71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to mention Enkanomiya and the Chasm.

[–]z123zocker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dont forget enkiyoma and the chasm

[–]Kyrion530 Will he do the fandango? 5 points6 points  (0 children)

when i started playing 3 years ago i thought that mondstadt and liyue were pretty small. And looking at it now. Teyvat just looks so full of content lol

[–]bagheera206 10 points11 points  (6 children)

Dragonspine came out after Liyue?

[–]GDBrawlFall First and only C6R5, for beloved 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Portions of Liyue were released with the base game; Dragonspine released in 1.2

[–]RudOzawa 27 points28 points  (2 children)

Yep, for the first couple patches Dragonspine was just "Big Mountain In Distance".

[–]SuuneSan purple boys 27 points28 points  (0 children)

it literally looked like a giant untextured pile of salt

[–]CataclysmSolace A sight to behold! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have a couple pictures on my computer from back then of old Dragonspine

[–]adraganas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes

[–]kalltrops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was wild how a nondescript mountain suddenly poof'd into Dragonspine.

[–]AmethystMoon420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly still amazed my phone can take this game lol. Look at how big it's gotten in 3 years!

[–]DGDESTROYER564 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ makes me realize how long I e been playing. And we still have 2 more nations to be added

[–]starforever00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

During my early days I thought Starfell Valley was big and Mondstadt was HUGE.

Man I rember. Had a break from 2.0 to now. Man they added a lot of stuff too lazy to explore.

[–]Tonks808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But why don't the devs make the install size smaller?!! /s

[–]Nokomis34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm curious how the finished map's area will compare to other games. And Should underground sections be counted as it's own acreage? Some maps might be near double the area of you count underground areas.

[–]Own_Version_9191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no clue the game started with mondstadt and Liyue areas

[–]CFreyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped playing January of 2022 right after beating Raiden Shogun in Inazuma. Imagine me logging in only for primos here and there during big events and then starting playing again last week.

😲

[–]Clover-kun Mute Paimon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn't even have the underground areas, pretty wild

[–]shrug_was_taken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been playing since 1.6, ~730 hours, only region with the 100% exploration (according to the city rep system but it isn't since Starfell Valley isn't at 100% on the map but that one region is painful as fuck for no good reason) is Mondstadt, most nations still got a fairly decent chunk left to do, including the sub areas (ie Dragonspine), generally speaking i been taking it slow and avoiding burning myself out, even though the Aranara quest did actually do it, even with taking it slowly that sucks ass to do. I ain't doing true 100% exploration since that is A. sounds like hell and B. I rarely use the interactive map so outside of the Fontaine occuli and shrines of depth, next to nothing has been marked on it as done

[–]slipperysnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The blue borders on the second map represent the borders that have never been expanded since launch 

Which one will stay untouched the longest? Mondstadt North, Liyue Northeast, Mondstadt East, or Liyue south?

[–]Di297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonder what's between the dessert and Chenyu

[–]AndrisPronis 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Terrible cut of the old map, you could’ve just found an actual old map, it’s not that hard to do

[–]LinkDaPugg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'll do that next time :) I think they can be found on the genshin impact IIRC

[–]dmushcow_21 DO NOT THE MELUSINES!! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And both have a hole in the middle of a region

[–]tomatodude29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New players nowadays have a lot to explore

And the map is not even fully done yet

[–]randomgamer305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night was the first time I had to delete stuff from my phone to actually update it. The time will come when it won't be possible anymore lol. But at least I can still play it on PC and PS5

[–]MightyDickTwist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I now can't unsee the drawing of that dude hunching

[–]Ok_Try_1665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I still vividly remember the map before inazuma and golden apple archipelago was a thing. How far we've come

[–]ObjectiveNet2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoyo be like: map is overrated, black hole in the middle is eternal.

[–]Lacutis01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that blacked out part between Liyue, Sumeru and Fontaine is really bugging me now

[–]straw28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me a f2p Runescape player

Me a p2w Runescape player

[–]lawlianne Flat is Justice. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ditto-shaped hole in the map is so annoying.

[–]omeneko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Fontaine in between Liyue and Inazuma

[–]lostn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it doesn't even include the GAA, bottleland, chasm underground or enkanomia (stuff on separate maps).

[–]YrdoomZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one thing that has stayed the same is that there is still a big hole in the map

[–]APClerk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sumeru is massive

[–]rushfell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where all the times go😢

[–]SnooMarzipans7274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live a normal life you’ll never finish if you start now lol or at least it wil take a very long time. Basically the one piece of video games.

[–]Pokefreaker-san 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enkanomiya in shambles

[–]Il_Capitano_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really want an Inazuma expansion man

[–]Agitated-Hat-4057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the guy she tells u not to worry about vs you

[–]KibbloMkII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you could play on the various patches at will

[–]LinkDaPugg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, I see the comments. The next time a major map change occurs, i'll re-release this including underground areas and stuff like that. :))

[–]freddit141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And here we are still dealing with this freaking gap between Old Mondstadt and Qingce.

[–]DarkPhoenixMishima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still kinda weird how we started with a hole in the map.

Even more so that we have a new hole now.

[–]frankieluigi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just came back after getting to like ar 15 at launch and playing for maybe 20 hours at the time. Made a new account and holy shit i didn’t realize how small the map was back then. Having a blast rn.

[–]Gilgamesh-KoH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing for more than a year and I'm still in 2020.

[–]XRTA-Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing not long after it came out, but I swear dragonspine was always there

[–]Mchronus 0 points1 point  (1 child)

For someone who doesn't have an idea of the scale in this game, this might look small... but the map as of now is thousands upon thousands of hours exploring.

And we still have 2 (3?) more nations to go, that's insane.

[–]ertychess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+liyue, monstadt expansions

[–]2Pilha Bei all day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro why the map looks like a Steelix turned sideways

[–]PuffinRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love how we're back to a donut.

Absolut one of the jojo references of all time.

[–]takemiplaceholder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a 1.5 player who thought that she was super late to the game at the time, its interesting to think that dragonspine had been the only expansion that i missed. i was pretty much done with everything available before 1.6 dropped (and no, i didnt feel rushed, and getting to Liyue early didnt feel like a bad experience at all.)

[–]dead_fantasies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a big ass Ditto over there

[–]wickylocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be amazing if some region would pop up from ocean above Inuzuma someday

[–]Cartoonist-Motor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang it!! The hole got bigger!!

[–]Chronostasis0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genshin has come a really long way ehStarted playing right before the Inazuma update and have been an active player since then but I'm still genuinely surprised when I looked at the comparison
Maybe I just love Genshin's open world so much that I could never make the switch to Honkai...

[–]Bpowell11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shout out to all those players who remember the wait for Inazuma and tried to Kaeya ice Bridge to get there early

[–]webflexprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chasm and Enkanomiya modCheck

[–]ginginbam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is fontain getting another expansion ? looking at the size of sumeru

[–]ShinyEevee_Plays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man...

[–]Altruistic-Knee-4655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now this is what you look back on and go "Well, back in my days, it was a donut"

[–]odokentangasli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor Mondstad :(

[–]Smith5000123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This map just puts into perspective how much more land of Sumeru still hasn't been released. Sheeeesh

[–]Dependent-Hotel5551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hope that hole is not more Sumeru pls.

[–]Skylancer727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the ditto in the middle of the map. XD

[–]MaJuV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genshin was already a large open world upon launch. It just got so many times larger in the years since launch.

[–]Ch1903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now someone please calculate the area of the new one

[–]kidkln123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left the game after Inazuma cus I was busy, by the look of this map I guess I have to get my butt back into the game
