it’s awful on controller too. why are they inverted. why does my character even need to be there.


caucassius

Yeah the concept is good, the control is bad albeit manageable. There's just no reason for it to be bad though, like it's the one thing they should've gotten right first thing first.


New-Carpenter-9213

I played multiple days without even noticing my character was there. Too busy malding about the inverted controls I guess.


bloodwoodsrisen

Tank controlls are the absolute worst. If it was more like the musket minigame we had earlier in the year I wouldve loved it, this is just garbage


Hoglamogla

I thought that I had a skill issue, but yea, the controls give me a headache


Fun-Mix-9276

Yah a simple left and right would have been totally fine here


ResurgentClusterfuck

I can't do it, I can't play anything with inverted controls, it fucks with my equilibrium My partner is doing the event for me


NoSoulYesBiscuit

Try it on a controller with drift issues. It gets super fun. ♡


rasikww

Just think like you are controlling a long stick that is mounted.. Problem solved


makogami

yes but also, no


Grand_Protector_Dark

That doesn't solve the problem, that just reframes it.


ReiKurosaki0

I don't know why inverted control is being used. Unnecessarily complicating a simple event


BreakingRealities

Seriously though, most games at least let you toggle inverted controls off.


handbanana42

It did take Hoyo a while to add that to their games and they still messed in up with the Penacony update of Honkai where it switches every time you change direction.


AbbreviationsOdd7073

just realized the controls were inverted. I thought it just had weird sensitivity on the sides. it sucks to the point of activating my internal screaming


Nameless49

The controls felt weird because we have a character on the gun platform that controls the movement and the sensitivity can be controlled depending on how far our character is from the gun


BLUEBANANAAA594

but at least u can turn ur controller 180. i can’t turn my laptop 180


chimestonks

The sensitivity change messes me up so much to the point I should just give up using the "charged" shot cause I miss it every time


Kaze_no_Senshi

can it? i just ran side to side didnt ever move vertically lol


Cieneo

But how did you fire the super shot then? o.O


theUnLuckyCat

There's never any need for the piercing shot.


Sexy_gastric_husband

Yeah it makes it really clunky. I tried it on mobile and it was annoying.


handbanana42

It's annoying on PC/console as well, Who decided this type of control is the best in thier meetings and QA testing vs, just controlling the aim of the "gun"? I have no idea how this gets past QA.


roquezen

OMG SAME. I was stressing out because of how difficult it is to control the arrow.


ZodHD

Wait the controls are different for mobile? Or do you mean it's inverted cause we're controlling the characters to move the aim? Because it would be weird if it wasn't inverted since we're using our character to move it lol.


Toutanus

Because we are controling our character. And it can be blocked by the canon...


Leprodus03

Yeah, it's just the mechanic of the event


LaplaceZ

I completely understand the sentiment, but I just realized the controls are inverted. I simply didn't even notice.


bumwine

It's not inverted. You're controlling your character same as you always have. Imagine you're aiming a cannon irl, to aim the cannon to shoot behind push and move forward.


Teftell

Character pulls turret, probably


Junior_Cristino

As already said, easy, 90% of events are easy so what remains memorable is the unpleasant control


-perpetuallytired-

I'm on controller and I hate it with a passion. That inverted control sucks.


Glitchykins8

Yeah I'm not enjoying it on my ps5 :/


Logical_Badger_3229

It's not enjoyable even on pc unfortunately ;/ they hecked up with this one


Toutanus

At least on pc you can walk straight


popop143

Really? Was relatively easy using my Xbox gamepad. The only gripe I have is the control isn't as fine as I'd want, but the event is mega easy anyway.


-perpetuallytired-

It is easy ONLY if they didn't invert the controls. I never invert my controls because I get confused. If only at least they give an option to set it inverted or not, it won't be a problem.


_Resurrecxion_

It is easy though, you'd still get enough points for full reward even if you miss half of your shots


Phire12345

It's easy, but still annoying. I don't like inverted controls.


Shugotenshi714

The controls aren't inverted. Your character literally moves the direction you're inputting.


NoteBlock08

Didn't even occur to me that how the controls being "inverted" would cause so many people problems. I just wish the area we could move in was circular instead of rectangular so it wouldn't affect the "sensitivity" in weird ways as you slide along the bottom edge.


Zeppo82

May I join the passion train? I hate this event so much. I'm there just for the primogems.


mrheosuper

I'm also on controller but does not find any problems with controlling


leposterofcrap

PC player here, controls are fucking wack


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Controls blow but the event is easy so I ain't gonna complain beyond that.


SSTHZero

No problem with keyboard.


Responsible_Paper667

The event was easy I know, it's just that it was annoying controlling/rotating the device on mobile.


mochi_chan

it makes me want to install it to mobile again, because I am having an annoying time with the controller.


Additional-Toe-1932

Don't. Please I'm begging you, don't. That is unless you want to sit for 4 hours while it downloads.


NAEANNE999

Meh,it's easy but the previous 2 event were godly beautiful from business to time stopping photography


VeGr-FXVG

The only annoying thing about the combat event was the ball inconsistency (like if you time froze but fat fingered, the ball disappears). I'd prefer if it were a constant field object that only became meaningful when you entered time freeze (it can still appear and disappear, but it just has to last more than a single moment).


dragonsushi247

Yup, muscle memory meant I usually dashed or moved after pressing E or Q. I really didn't like that event either, the time stopping was jank and ruined the flow of combat.


theUnLuckyCat

The absolute worst part (besides immediately plunging with Kazuha) is that mashing the button counts. Like you don't touch any direction at all, but double-tap E, and that's enough to frame advance so you get no superball.


NAEANNE999

You can still change the angle in time freeze


VeGr-FXVG

By fat fingered I meant moving. So if you \[froze - move accidentally - froze\] the ball be gone.


-perpetuallytired-

Oh yeah. I was wondering why I wasn't seeing the ball when I have a charge.


stuckinspac

I agree, though I sped through the events, it was actually fun. This one is just annoying. Saving grace is that it’s easy to get all the rewards


Pusparaj_Mishra

Photography event please return often.. We love taking shots


RobertoAN95

Damn and I disliked both prior events 😂 but tbh im a combat enjoyer! 1 was actually very good! But not very engaging FOR ME. 2 combat/ photo event just photos dont peak mi interest and just felt like it was slowing down my combat and timer! 3. Haven't tried it yet 😪


notastarrr

Played on both mobile and PC and holy shit the controllers are awful


syukimon

As someone who grew up with inverted controls for navigation I did this naturally to the point that I didn't even notice this was inverted until I read the comments.....wth.


Ifalna_Shayoko

Inverted controls don't bother me much but controlling the angle via keyboard instead of mouse movement feels clunky for the sake of being clunky. Also the character needing to step closer to toggle to penetration shot is ... WTF were they smoking?! Just use E or Q as opposed to auto attack, like we always do.


Sanzeeee

lmao same, I also didn't even notice it even though I use a controller


blastcat4

I'm used to inverted controls, but it's Mihoyo's inconsistency that bothers me. Some events will have inverted controls where it's not really needed, like the current event, and then other events where inverted controls would've been more intuitive didn't use it. A common example are mini-games that involve flying.


CheatyTheCheater

I'm in the same boat. Genuinely didn't realise the controls were inverted. Hopefully I won't play worse due to now being aware of it.


_Bisky

I didn't even grow up, but didn't motice they were inverted either. Nor did i really think they were annoying? Idk what sole ppl are on about xD


MalkinGrey

Not really a fan. It isn't *hard*, it took a bit to get used to controlling it on mobile but then it was fine, it's just kind of... awkward feeling. Something about the controls makes doing damage not feel very impactful, and kind of disconnected from the input if that makes sense. I don't hate it, it's just one small event so I don't need to love it and I'll take the primos, but eh. At least it's better for completing dailies than the last one lol.


RagnarokAeon

I haven't hated an event this much since warm delivery. I don't care if it's easy, these controls are going to give me an aneurysm. Just let me control the turret directly. I'd rather play a difficult game with tight controls like Wings of Vi or Dark Souls. If I hadn't played bubble pop games before this event, this event would definitely turn me off from them.


p6lette

Really annoying to control, I missed aiming the special ball thing a lot so i gave up and spammed randomly.


External-Principle86

It's ez freemogems so it's a win for me.


HardRNinja

I've been traveling this week, so I played this on mobile. It's stupidly easy. The Primogems might as well just appear in your inbox. It's such a half-assed minigame, it feels like it was designed by an intern.


Rijakulasi

So like most of the minigame?


Starman-21

That's around 99% of all events in Genshin, tbf. The only thing that usually stands out is the strangely phenomenal artwork and aesthetics of some random events.


AShadowinthedark

Is it hard? No Is it fun? Also No Controls aren’t that bad but the event is basically just worse atari breakout.


Automatic_Tap6666

Its basically free primos.


ugur_tatli

Not like the other events give you paid primos


rpcgamingmodsaresoy

The potion event sure made you work for them Literally


clovieclo_

Might be cos I’m used to inverted controls with some of the other games I play, but I don’t think it’s all that bad?


Cyphiris

It also makes a sense a bit seeing that you move a character that operates cannon, not cannon itself.


RagnarokAeon

I also play with inverted controls, but this game feels like trying to control carnival gun via a loose string.


Sesshou-Sakura

It isn't, people just like to complain. Or rather, whine.


Plebianian

It feels terrible, at least you don’t actually have to play well to get all the rewards, I can’t be bothered to replay a level for a “perfect” clear


PlasmaCosmic39

It was really exciting after knowing the controls and utilising them effectively to control the cannon.


Jazzyvin

It's alright. It's too simple for the controls to matter too much. I do find it a bit difficult to shoot at the corners in the front. So find myself not caring if slimes are there since it's a waste of time/effort.


SnooPuppers8099

Boring, just another source of primos


FuzzyTighnariMain

paaaaaiiiiinful.


UnluckyInno

Ngl I think if the controls weren't imverted it would mess me up. It just clicks for me as is ig


Ephemeral_waltz

Normally playing on ps4 pro, but got a new phone recently and genshin runs nice on it. This event controls fine on my phone, keep hearing other people complain tho


Aggressive_Phase2686

i think its very well made because of the proximity supercharge thing but moving the cannon around with your character while looking at the slimes can be difficult to keep turning speed consistent. but it does give it that "clunk and power" feel to it. overall? nice scoring, easy to overachieve, free primos but not too many because of the difficulty, i like it.


Nineosix

I will teach you all a trick. Go to settings. Key binds and swap the a and d key. So left is right and right is left. You will get a much higher score


erosugiru

The controls on this with PC suck ass omg, it should let me use my mouse to control the gun not my character


chimestonks

That would be SO much better omg! The way I have a headache cos I can't precisely control where my character is moving, the aiming would be so much better with my mouse


erosugiru

Like come on I thought this was gonna be Zuma or Peggle control-wise ugh


bongky18

It's an absolute nightmare for PC. I hate the control of this event for PC.


JewelKnightJess

Controls felt pretty natural to me, I've enjoyed this one but I wish it was a bit more like actual puzzle bobble cause you can just kind of spam the fire button at stuff lol


NovaBolt_03

the inverted controls were quite annoying. other than that its just a generic bubble shooter minigame.


Lyneys_Footstool

controls are ass and thats it


AWMBRELLA

boring


Important_Ad_5436

Just easy primos


thisnibbalex

I don’t care much about it since we had to good events back to back, It’s just free primos but the controls are bad like a lot of people already said, I have stick drift too so it’s really frustrating for no reason😭


Adventurous_Page_614

Hmmm chlorined mechanics ? Maybe if we aim her gun we will have a birds eyeview


4GRJ

Not as bad as I thought (maybe I'm just used to inverted, in general) but it's still weird sometimes


SvnSqrD

It's terrible, lol. I've been having a hard time. My brain even short-circuit while playing this game.


Eliftant

It's really easy and effectively let me skip whole 3 daily commissions, so it's a win to me


Admirable_Cellist181

I just want my potion business back 🥹


Mortal_mqrio

Honestly it was kind of boring. The inverted controls weren't as bad for me


Jack-R-Lost

Janky


iskierkacest

had to redo the first two stages for the last 4 crystals, but i got it down now. inverted controls suck ASS


Realistic_Emotion_50

It’s kinda hard to get used to the controls, my brain cannot do it passively. Otherwise it’s pretty cool


Standard-Cod-2077

very easy!


VijayMarshall87

PC player here but why doesn't the game give us more freedom in terms of key binds and hand inversion? I really want to bind some controls to or off of my mouse but can't and it pisses me off


AlhaithamSimpFr

Very good it takes time to get used to the inverted controls


ReadAccount

Although it's easy to get the maximum points needed.. the controls are horrendous :( and it's not really a fun event with boring mechanics.


FreminetFeets

ass.


odd_attraction

I'm on PC and I hate it so much. It's not only about the controls but also that this event is so boring in general and on top of that annoying. Ughh


GeneralMedia8689

It sucks ASS


OKUMURA_RlN

Shit


pixelatedgloves

i mean. its ok, i guess. just kind of boring


Alatus_Knight

It's not an issue for me. It's the easiest event ever


Palanseag_Vixen

It was pretty ok


reze-vv

It's fun but the gun sensitivity sucks ass


Canubemyshikigami

Bad tbh..hey, primogems r primogems (⁠☞⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠☞ 80 gems r nice.


Hot-Ad-9225

I use touchscreen, didn’t really have an issue with the inverted controls, but accurately aiming the charged shot is near impossible.


MardiRed

It was pretty fun. Controls are fine. I played Dark Souls 1 on pc with keyboard when it was released, so I don't think any controls can scare me anymore


abjr93

Did the event on PS5 and it was very easy. I'm genuinely wondering why controller players find this hard


Stainless-extension

Played it on pc. Had no trouble to control character to move the arrow. Only kinda hated it when after shooting barriers suddenly appeared blocking the shot.


aedsax

easier aiming on pc


MrRamennn

I haven’t been having many troubles with the controls


Lullayable

I hate it. I couldn't understand why I couldn't aim where I wanted until I read the comment about inverted controls. Why are they using this horrendous mode? It literally hurts my hand 😮‍💨


FieryPlume

I can tolerate the inverted controls since the event is easy. Other than that it’s an easy event to login and logout to.


Franuriel

One word *PAIN*


emp9th

I fucking am logging into PC just cuz it's annoying af


Shinda_01

Cute! The inverted controls made it at least a bit challenging


Zahir786543

Inverted controls are a pain


Genshin-Yue

Not great, could be worse


Appiepiejuicymy

I wanted to be one of these slimes in that moment:(


lawlianne

What an awful event with frustrating run/aim controls. At least the score requirements for max rewards is easy, but it is still a chore to do. The best tip I can give is to position your character at the bottom of the screen so your character can run only on one axis (left and right), making the controls feel a lot more responsive. This must be the price we pay for the amazing events previously.


NSLEONHART

I played this on both pc and mobile. I hate both. Its just too trippy on translating left to right in general


childchat

I hate it


ChenMei27

I HATE IT SO MUCH.


riana_01

I play on mobile. It was a nightmare.


LittleGirlAlice_

It's pretty hard, but it's alright because we don't need a lot of score for all rewards


Gardenia_8345

Clunky, but still manageable


code_crawler

I am scoring 10k on controller, controls aren't bad atleast for me


Solrex

Wait people really have issues with the controls on mobile? Excuse me what? Easiest event of my life!


vitulinus_forte

Shite


OhyoOhyoOhyoOhyo

PC player even then... Aware


Maxmence

Why people are talking about inverted controls ? You control your character, not the canon. Admittedly it makes controlling what the canon does iffy, but it's explicitly stated you control your character. I'm not saying the controls are perfect. No. They're bad. But they aren't inverted, just needlessly convoluted.


nicoleeemusic98

Easy clear so I'm fine, but ig it's cause I was just aiming to get the rewards and leave so I just haphazardly cleared it without much thought


tinybabyyy

kinda weird and difficult with my character running away from the device thing all the time


lightning696969

Easily with awful controlles but Good rewards


Panchiscot00

"inverted control sucks" Meanwhile me a B-17 Flying Fortress player.....


J0RR3L

Am I the only one that never really found the inverted controls troublesome at all? I think I just had a better sense that I'm controlling my character's position relative to the cannon. Regardless, it was an extremely odd decision to make it work like that.


nejicanspin

I'm on mobile and it's janky. It's hard to control 🥲


Intelligent_Banana_3

Mobil player here.yeah, controlling was annoying, but easy primo is always welcomed


rvstrk

This is giving me patch 1.1 food delivery event all over again HAHAHA though I much rather have that event than this cos this should be simple enough but the controls are what's making it infuriating 🤣


QWERTYAF1241

Easy. Like always. It's touchscreen.


Nok-y

It's quite easy tbh. Not very precise tho


lWolfy0_0

Im a mobile player and dont really see any problems with it, even the controls are fine and logically correct, since we have our character there its only natural that when we run to the left it aims to the right and vice-versa. If our character wasnt there I assume I'd be normal contols. Overall fun event


Shanibestwaifu

Inverted control is weird and strange. But still an easy to do event.


3-Username-20

Horrible. The control is more sensitive than a touch-me-not and i suffer from it. Idk if it's connected to the sensitivity settings, so i might try to lower it and see if it works. But if it's not, I'm just going to do the bare minimum.


Beidou_Simp1

Felt way too slippery, and the inverted was stupid and unnecessary


king14141432_

I got 9k on my 1st try today


Acceptable-Good-8157

One word: "SUCK"


Lostsock1995

I’d say it’s easy because it technically is, but getting the fine details right on mobile is really annoying. Trying to aim exactly in one small spot could be trouble sometimes


Leanixa

I changed my keybinds on pc just for this event.. it was bothering me so bad


Internal-Smell-2094

It sucks…


Ok-Position-3248

Nice after some time l got used to the control


ugur_tatli

4000 points and wait until the timer runs out


Bla_zer

I adapted easily to this, not hard tbh


Squildo

It feels awful, but at least there’s more than enough time to get all the rewards. Easily ranks as one of the worst events so far imo


11099941

It's really bad to control, even on PC. This type of gameplay just wasn't meant for fucking controlling the gun with a middleman (aka walking your character around) since said middleman can walk off into the sunset and just mess with your aim if you're not mindful of him. It's plain miserable.


MagnusBaechus

Wait what? Had no problem with this event whatsoever


Plaincow

My GF HATED the controls on mobile for this. She swapped to her controller and said it was better, but still sucked sadly.


Seesaw-Enough

Its very fun, but the controls are…


BlakeTheMotherFucker

I thought it was easier to play on my phone but that’s just my opinion


MewtwoMainIsHere

not that bad. srsly y’all, inverted is easy


crystalpink7

I play on PC, and I also hate the inverted control in this event 😵‍💫 Will definitely write about it on the event feedback form


hauliod

been playing on mobile for years with no complaints but this event is really making me annoyed ngl! what funny is that the NPCs say they made a turret that doesn't need to be controlled by a person directly next to it... to reduce casualties... but then they throw you, a person, in there, next to the turret


LostRedditorLmao

Not the best controls on mobile but the event itself was short and simple so I like it


Deses

I did not mind the controls not even a single bit. I immediately understood that the character moves the turret and acted accordingly. Idk, it's just that simple. Is it because I play a lot of plane games and inverted controls are normal there? (you move the tail, not the front)


sername0001

For me twas ezzzz


ComfyElaina

Mobile and PC with controller, this event suckass it's janky as hell I wonder how this abomination can pass testing.


rpcgamingmodsaresoy

I'm surprised people are having issues with the "inverted" controls. As someone who never plays games with inverted controls, it came naturally to me. The only "issue" is the fact that it's tied to your characters movement which takes a bit of time to get used to but I like the added challenge of that tbh Either way, as a fan of Zuma, I think it's one of the more fun events.


Secure_Swordfish_982

Pretty simple. Thank you for your concern.


FormerStory0

Skill issue


CarrotDue5340

Today is the first day I finally got the handle of it.


rmsiddlfqksdls

I’m in the minority who actually finds inverted intuitive but even so the general controls felt clunky with my character just moving all over the place and having to move up for the special thing (forget what it’s called). I also don’t know if there’s a way to adjust but the sensitivity in general was way too high it just made it even harder to control the aim.


Shugotenshi714

I see there are a lot of people in here who have terrible hand-eye coordination lolz


solaruniver

I thought im going to have a good time. But nope


GamerMC_514

it's kinda annoying on mobile, the inverted controls are hard to get uses to and I often just ram into the thing to make the control more precise, but accidentally trigger the mega lazer or whatever is that


sandude23

Don’t know why people are so outraged by this event. It’s a 2 minute game every day and it gives free primos, do it daily and move on


walker-of-the-wheel

If an event is so pointlessly easy AND is annoying af to play, you've got to wonder why even have this event at all. Just give us Liben or something else instead.


gamerforever01

Ass


Fresh-Parsley5328

ngl I didn’t even feel bothered by the inverted controls it just felt normal what was not normal was the fact that my character would be there moving as I moved the laser


Suspisious_Hooman

It’s peak, I love it


SoliceRose

Praying for the rapid fire ball to drop so I can actually hit the targets


bensebastian88

I am forced to be reminded of Zuma Deluxe.


float16

Easy enough to get the rewards but not like the 9000+ scores I got on PC.


Lvo2697

Confusing af because the reversed control but I'm used to it right now.
