Genshin Impact has amazed everyone, quickly becoming one of the most talked-about games this year. Players flocked to the vibrant world of Teyvat, filled with elemental monsters and powerful characters, offering a wealth of exciting experiences.
Although there are still some drawbacks, it is undeniable that Genshin Impact has made many groundbreaking achievements. The following article discusses the elements that MMO games can learn from, as well as the MMO features that Genshin Impact could implement in the future, which promise to be successful.
Worth Learning: More Exploration – Bigger Rewards
One of the greatest achievements of Genshin Impact that MMO games should emulate is the exploration aspects. The game’s world is not only diverse and meticulously detailed with ruins, mountains, and villages, but also scattered with treasure chests, secret puzzles, and challenging collectibles that require high determination to acquire.
It is rare to see exploration features approach perfection like those in Genshin Impact. In this game, every time you immerse yourself in the wilderness, even a small glimmer in front of you could be a puzzle leading to a precious chest, or it could be treasure waiting to be collected, and it is truly fortunate if you pay attention and do not overlook anything. Such seemingly small factors can positively impact each of us, making everyone eager to explore, and the gaming experience is never boring at all. It is exciting to immerse yourself in the surrounding world, climb mountains, drift along streams, explore every nook and cranny, and receive worthy rewards—things we have forgotten when playing other MMO games and only rediscovered while experiencing Genshin Impact.
Needs Improvement: More Real Players, More Variety
Anyone who has played the multiplayer mode of Genshin Impact will understand what we mean. Although it takes a considerable amount of time to play Genshin Impact, there is really not much you can do with your teammates. Players joining you cannot open chests with you, they do not benefit from running gathering quests, and with very few exceptions like boss fights and dungeon explorations, being in a group is almost useless unless you are afraid to traverse the world alone.
MMOs are completely the opposite of this. Everything in an MMO, aside from a few content pieces dedicated to the main character, is mostly team quests. Although the single-player aspect of Genshin Impact is quite vibrant, it would be a wonderful sight if more players could join in the fun. Even a simple option, like those implemented in games such as Destiny and Fallout 76, would be quite sufficient to satisfy the feeling of a powerful world of explorers. If not, at least allow more teammates to benefit from all the activities you perform in Genshin Impact.
Needs Addition: Transportation and Pets
Certainly, transportation and pets provide faster movement, but they could also introduce new gameplay elements and ways to earn money, both of which may eventually appear in Genshin Impact. The game world already has many dragons, wolves, and strange elemental creatures, all of which would be fantastic if you could ride on them and roam around.
On the other hand, pets are a natural addition in modern games. They can provide more than just aesthetics but can also perfectly supplement your roster of 4 characters in extremely useful ways. What happens if you don’t have a strong Pyro character? Don’t worry, your pet could fill this gap. What if you are not satisfied with your healing character and want a full damage team? A pet with healing abilities would be a fantastic addition to the team. Currently, Genshin Impact has characters with dolls or small elemental characters that you use as your special skills, but they are not actual pets in any sense of the word. This is definitely a feature that Genshin Impact needs to urgently add in the near future.
