With free Primogen gifts for the nerfing and the unnerfing of him
Genshin Impact’s developer, Hoyoverse nerfed Neuvillette yesterday, a popular damage dealer in the game, to stop players from using his helicopter style move that gives him significant power and advantage in the game.
Unfortunately for Hoyoverse, its China-based players balked at the nerfing of that game character and lodged many complaints with the national regulator on the practices of Hoyoverse, which they deem as cheating.
The heat from the China players was too much for Hoyoverse and today, they admitted their fault and agreed to unnerf Neuvilette. At the same time, all players will also be given a generous 10 pull on the game character banners of Genshin Impact.
The move to nerf Neuvillette was seen as suspicious because it came close to the release of a new Hydro character and players suspected Hoyoverse was trying to promote the new character by nerfing Neuvillette. Further, the Neuvillette helicopter move was known for a long time and if Hoyoverse was serious about the helicopter move being a bug, then they should have nerfed him within the first two weeks of his release.
So, it is good for all the players that they are getting double rewards on the Neuvillette scandal and Hoyoverse should learn to be more circumspect on how they deal with nerfing of their game characters.
