Genshin Impact • Speed of Light cap

The problem is that the speed of light is the ultimate speed limit, especially for interstellar travel as stated below. Which would then also apply to Genshin Impact since they're on the same cosmology, but yes it affects Genshin Impact the most in this context;

But then, how are all Honkai characters FTL on all of their profiles? It's because they have Imaginary Energy, and Imaginary Energy is practically negative entropy that allows them to bypass the Speed of Light cap.

There was a proposal to merge Imaginary Energy with Abyssal Energy but that one had zero staff votes yet, so Abyssal Energy is a subset of IE and Genshin is FTL or Genshin is capped on the speed of light. We know just from Rerir's profile that Rerir is one of the 5 Sinners who are actively being amplified by Abyssal Energy (or Imaginary Energy). But the only way for Rerir to even be FTL, is that if Abyssal Energy is a subset of IE.

All spaceships in Genshin Impact are considered capped on the speed of light unless they are imbued with Imaginary Energy which allows FTL, which atm is impossible since the only way out is that if they're imbued by Abyssal Energy for the time being yeah.

EDIT: Apparently Abyssal Energy already bypasses the sol cap without Imaginary Energy so yeah ts should be closed since it's fairly obvious by now.

Staff Votes

• Agree with the proposal for the time being unless Imaginary Energy and Abyssal Energy are merged;
• Neutral;
• Disagree (?);

I think this thread is bad faith.

Under your previous Genshin CRT you were attempting to strongarm Imaginary Energy into Genshin Impact / Abyssal Energy into HSR / Hi3 through a very loose connection and them being 'in the Honkaiverse'.
Now you're using the same 'Honkaiverse' connection to attempt to throttle and cap Genshin Impact at lightspeed through an optional HSR readable, which they are in the 'Honkaiverse' of course, but it still doesn't remove the bad faith element from the CRT.

You're effectively saying:
'Either Genshin has Imaginary Energy and they can't be FTL'
OR
'You have to join with our cosmology, accept us getting extra hax from Abyssal Energy being IE, and then you can get past FTL'

You even say it right here:
So it's either the thread is accepted and Genshin reaches FTL or the thread is abandoned and Genshin is forever capped on the speed of light.

While I don't disagree with the content of the CRT, I disagree with the reasons why it has been presented and made. It seems like a bad faith attempt to forcefully integrate a verse that its supporters clearly don't want to work with with minimal evidence to back it up. (1) (2) (3)

Its more of like this;

'Either Genshin has Imaginary Energy and they can be FTL'
OR
'You have to join with our cosmology, accept us getting extra hax from Abyssal Energy being IE, and then you can get past FTL'
Which is basically the same shit, but yeah verse is either way capped to SoL regardless w/o Imaginary Energy that allows FTL stuff. Idk what part is in bad faith since this has to be ADDRESSED eventually since theyre the same cosmology.
 
Actually yeah on second thought it's better that FTL stuff are postponed until we see in 6.7 whether they can bypass the sol cap or not because technically the cap is already applied due to @Mbpoops thread regarding possibly H1-C so I don't see this thread going anywhere

fearhaxxed by puppet 😂 🙏
 
I don't know about Genshin but at least this arguments are clear as day and I would accept those

But yeah, like Void is saying, if there is stuff in the future that is gonna clarify it, just wait for that

Yeah, AE being subset of IE is basically a last resort if anything but it's useless at the same time if they can break the sol cap without this

To be fair abyss itself alr has a feat that bypasses sol
At first, it was nothing more than collective hysteria or the disappearance of a dream. Then, a civilization was erased in a silent night.Next, extinguished dwarf stars streaked across the galactic river like tears, while the remnants of burning stars distorted the structure of space itself.It was only when entire galaxies evaporated into a void deeper than darkness that people finally realized the magnitude of this cosmic disaster.
You can just argue characters bypass SoL trough Abyss as the power system (should probably count for light element but those bums are featless) its not uncommon to have powersystem do this if u physically cant bypass it by yourself

Do we know the timeframe
 
text describe it as instant or just very fast, unless we say it took them 200k years to slime out one galaxy id just genuinely see why entire abyss is useless to surtalogi per skirk story quest
I'm fine with this for the time being i guess for now
