Genshin Impact remains one of the biggest open-world games in the world, yet its player base has grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of basic quality-of-life features. For years, the community has repeatedly asked Hoyoverse for simple improvements that would make the game less tedious and more enjoyable. Instead of listening, Hoyoverse has consistently ignored these requests, choosing to focus on pumping out new banners and characters while leaving core frustrations untouched. This stubborn refusal to address player feedback after so many years highlights a clear pattern: profits matter more than player experience.
Here are the five most frequently suggested QOL updates that the community keeps demanding.
1. Skip Button for Cutscenes and Story Dialogues
One of the loudest and longest-running requests is a simple skip button for cutscenes and long dialogue sequences. Many players revisit story quests on alternate accounts or want to replay events, only to be forced to sit through unskippable scenes that can last several minutes. Hoyoverse has refused to add this basic feature for years despite constant feedback on forums and surveys. Critics argue the company deliberately keeps these sequences locked so players spend more time in the game, artificially inflating engagement numbers instead of respecting player time.
2. Relic Loadouts
Artifact management is one of the most time-consuming parts of endgame content. Players spend hundreds of hours farming relics only to manually equip and swap them every time they change teams for Spiral Abyss or different domains. A relic loadout system that lets users save and instantly switch complete artifact sets would solve this entirely. Hoyoverse has been aware of this request since the early versions of the game and has done nothing. The continued absence of loadouts forces unnecessary busywork, which many see as a deliberate choice to keep players grinding longer.
3. 50/50 System on the Weapon Banner
The character banner offers a 50/50 chance at the featured 5-star unit after losing the 50/50 once. The weapon banner, however, uses a far less player-friendly system that feels punishing and expensive. Players have begged for years for the weapon banner to receive the same 50/50 treatment or at least a meaningful improvement. Hoyoverse has repeatedly declined to make this change. This refusal stands out as especially greedy because it directly affects how much money players feel pressured to spend on weapons for their favorite characters.
4. Team Presets and Saved Party Loadouts
Switching between multiple team compositions for different content is currently a slow and annoying process of manually selecting characters one by one. Saved team presets would let players store and load full parties with one click. This feature has appeared on nearly every community poll about desired QOL changes, yet Hoyoverse has shown zero interest in implementing it. The lack of basic team-saving tools after all these years feels like another example of the company ignoring simple conveniences that would greatly improve daily play.
5. Higher Resin Capacity and Faster Regeneration
Resin remains one of the biggest gates in Genshin Impact, limiting how much players can farm each day. Requests for a higher resin cap or faster natural regeneration have existed since launch. Hoyoverse occasionally hands out small resin bonuses during events but refuses to make any permanent improvement to the system itself. Players view this as one of the clearest signs that the company wants to keep the game intentionally restrictive so that those who want to play more are encouraged to spend money on resin refreshes.
After years of consistent community feedback and overwhelming support for these changes, Hoyoverse's continued silence is hard to defend. While the company keeps releasing impressive new regions and characters, the refusal to add these basic QOL features leaves many long-time players feeling undervalued. Until Hoyoverse finally decides to listen, these five updates will remain at the top of every player wish list.
