With the release of new characters, Genshin Impact keeps adding more and more possibilities to combine them in a team of 4 heroes. The game even features an option that allows players to save and load 4 fixed teams as presets whenever they want to switch. However, this is not enough for the players.
This is how team building works in Genshin Impact: You access the team building menu through the menu or a shortcut key that you can assign yourself.
After that, you will see a loading bar that takes about 3–4 seconds until you are thrown into the team building menu.
Then you select in the character overview which team members you want to take with you. You can also name the respective teams, but that’s about it.
In total, you can set up 4 groups of 4 heroes each and easily switch between them, but this is not enough for the players.
“It’s frustrating to only have 4 teams available!”
What do the players say? Reddit user Valllefor opened a thread where he criticized that 4 teams are not enough at all. He has to switch them several times a day and has been complaining about this in every developer survey since the release.
He received significant support from other players:
- the1oftheRiver: ‘I have started asking about this in surveys too. There are a lot of team variations where 2 out of 4 teams have the same characters, but the teams are still totally different and used for various purposes. Being forced to swap several characters every time annoys me. (…)’
- Significant-Garlich87 complains about the waiting time: ‘I hate having to wait for the loading bar when you go into the team building menu. (…)’
- AhmedKiller2015 has another idea: ‘They should really assign some characters to a shortcut. When you explore and suddenly reach spots that require Cryo or Pyro or something, you shouldn’t have to switch a character in your team, but just have one on a shortcut that you can use only outside of combat.’
- Monkey_D_Luffy_12 says: ‘We need at least 7 teams… at least now, before more characters are added.’
Moreover, there has been an additional request for artifact set presets. Many players switch their artifacts between individual characters.
However, it would be easier to save specific sets for certain heroes or at least to link certain set pieces together, allowing them to be selected and moved anytime.
Expanding the team slots would definitely make sense, as Ayato Kamisato, the 48th hero in Genshin Impact, will soon be released. This will introduce significantly more team combinations.
What do you think about the players’ criticism? Do you agree with them or have you not encountered the problem yet? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
Criticism has also been there since the beginning regarding the resin system: After 1.5 years of Genshin Impact, I now also feel the biggest problem of the community.
