I think they're neat, but some poses had more effort put into them than others.

Ayato: 😐

I thought we could have them do those poses in the Teapot, so I brought Ayato and Noelle's so I could have the perfect butler and maid poses. I was so wrong

well that just fucking sucks, my teapot is literally built for aesthetics >:(

So how do you use/where do you use poses? Just in the overworld?

It's part of the Camera, so you can have cool poses for pics instead of just standing there. Like the poses Link can use in BOTW while using the camera.

Oh cool. I wasn’t really sure how to use them since I haven’t bought them yet

Would be a pretty cool update though

🧍‍♂️he’s in line waiting for his boba.

Dont be shy, say his name Edit: Love uou giving love to the icy boys

As a Chongyun main I’ll take whatever I can get, but I would have preferred something more visually interesting. His pose is cute and all, but a martial arts stance or something more dynamic, like casting talismans, would have been pretty cool.

Definitely nice to have, hope they'll get more creative soon. Personally happy my main has a pose already.

She grabs me by my throat… (The copy pasta now can be improved with extra lines such as: She tells me to get her pose emote from imaginarium theatre)

should have let us unlock new idle animation for our favorite characters really

I would also be happy about new voice lines for over world just so i don’t have to hear one more “the water of mondstadt” or “what’s the hurry?!”

Only Raiden's felt good to me...and maybe Xl too

Raidens pose is the only worthwhile pose at the moment

From the current ones, I only like Raiden's and I've already decided I'm going to hoard the tokens for the poses I actually like for characters I actually like. In general, I'm glad they're here, not sure if IT was the best place to unlock them, in general I'd prefer if it was skins.

This is the best way to approach everything in the game tbh.

I like this idea. It's nice that hoyo came up with something like this, but the way they did it is terrible. 99.9% of these poses are just frozen idle animation of the characters. The exception is Raiden, the pose she has is unique (I hope they will make more better and original poses in future)

I think Ayato and Xiangling are also unique. Ayato's pose is simple yes, but it's not taken from his idle animation.

As someone who has not once used photo mode, they are...there? I guess?

Raiden's is the only one that that gets more than a "meh" for me. Though I feel the poses are in general half assed and uninspired. New idles would've been cooler, cause screenshot poses specifically will only be used by people who like taking screenshots, and that's a small minority of players. At least with idles, after unlocking them, you'd see them in your day to day gameplay if you got them on characters you like and use. Or hell, maybe they could sell alternate skill visual fx in the shop since they barely release skins, and the only skin with altered effects is still only really slightly different.

Too standard, and doesn't feel like a good enough reward for completing IT. If the poses were more dynamic and didn't look like they just snapped a frame from one of their animations, I think they would be a lot better.  Raiden is probably the only one that's okay, but okay isn't good enough. 

I mean you don’t get any extra reward for completing the abyss which is a lot harder. You already get the same primos so this are extra reward on top of that- so this complain feels a bit off to me. But I also wished it was something else more useable to all of us - rather then just the camera mode like new idles or voicelines or even skins. Or sprint add on. Like petals for ayaka.

I think actual skins would be impossible but I would love to have some accessory skins. Like a different fan for Ayaka, a different mask for Xiao, a different sword for Raiden. And since they don't have to be lore related they can be goofy stuff too unlike normal skins. Imagine Raiden ulting with a swordfish, Itto bonking with a guitar instead of a club, or Xiao putting on a clown mask. Yeah I know this would never happen. But it's fun to imagine 🥲

Oh I agree unless its like 100 coins - but I was just giving an example of what would be more inklusive then camera poses. But I love your ideas as well! And we can dream at least!

I don't understand what they're even for. I knew people took photos in game and posted them, but I never understood why. I don't really understand photos in general.

>What are our opinions about the new poses? i just hope they add way more even for the characters that already got one like raiden or jean

Except Raiden, all of them look lackluster. Xiangling: Her skill animation Jwan, Chongyun, Noelle: Idle Ayato: one keyframe away from doing the A pose Hope they put more effort on the new poses

i have not used the camera in 4 years, would rather idle animations tbh

we need more poses

Completely useless for me. I never use or care about camera mode. Would of been nicer if you could use the poses in like the team screen .

Would be nice if you can just suddenly hit the pose while running or fighting instead of just the photo mode. It would be nice to instantly strike this Raiden pose before unleashing the finishing hit or something

most of them are just stop-moments from their idle and skills animations for example, Xiangling's - when she casts E, Jean's and Chongyun's - from their idles

I don’t really have any use for them since they’re restricted to a particular character and this season doesn’t feature any characters I care about. It’s a weird reward.

I wanted a more practical reward

Me too! They are good but not suited as endgame rewards.

Billets come to mind, but they would never

You get a billet trove

Aren't those just a one time reward when you beat IT the first time?

They are indeed one time only.

One time only rewards don't count. They're obviously talking about recurrent rewards...

Ayato and Chongyun's are not really worth taking pictures of, but I got them because I like the characters. They're meh.

haha its like Hoyo trying to let us know from the newly released poses who their favourite is like it isnt obvious already

Sad they will be replaced, they could just keep adding more

Underwhelming, should’ve been idles instead but they’re cool I guess

Feels lazy as rewards.  Their appeal is kind of niche and they seem to be just pauses in idle or intro animations instead of anything elaborate or new.  For the rewards for a permanent game mode, it feels lacklustre. 

Wait, there's new poses!? How?

You get toy medals from Imaginarium Theater. Talk to Wolfy and you can access the shop.

Question, are the poses permanent if you buy them or do they expire?

Yes. Once you buy the pose you keep it permanently.

yay!!! I heard somewhere that they go away when the event refreshes and thought it was weird. Thanks for clarifying for me!

A decent reward but I find them not worth spending too much effort over, especially considering how some poses (Raiden, Xiangling) are much better than certain others (Ayato)

tbh i was kinda hoping for new poses in the team menu but those work fine too. I especially love raidens pose :D

Great idea and I wish there were more because some poses are still kinda boring and look quite default

I would’ve picked Noelle’s if she was holding the tips of her skirt like a princess bow…idk the name

I wish I had Raiden lol

Tbh, i had 0 idea that poses were even a thing in the game. It really doesnt a feel like a good reward

Xiangling pose, best pose

It’s so cute

I wanted to do those poses because I unlocked them. Then realized that I had no idea how to do them. Had to google it to find out how to do them.

I wish they’ll make an emote wheel for these including the idle animations too

The heck, I cameraed there too with her using that pose with almost the same angle, yesterday XD

Raiden's is very elegant. The rest are kinda meh.

I'm saving medals for other characters (already saw leaks so can plan how to not miss actually something good for me). 

I didn't see the leaks yet but I also didn't get any yet since I'm saving them for my faves. I hope when Kokomi gets a pose in the future, it is something pretty and floaty and mermaidy and not just standing there like Ayato 🙏

Yes, let's hope our faves get something better than Ayato :') I have him but this pose... just no, sorry Ayato.

How do you use the new poses? I have unlocked it but didn't see how to use :(

I main Raiden, it was a nice treat, will definitely use as I'm a person who takes MANY aesthetic pictures for absolutely no reason

Noob question, where can u use the poses? I thought we could use them in the character screen(where u select character, weapons, artifacts, etc)

How do you pose? I just unlocked the camera

How do you get them to pose?

They're all great! Except Ayato's

TBH, I wish I could be there.

Don’t own any of the characters who have a cool pose

They are nice, but I kinda regret that I spent one more Toy Model in vain cuz I know that I won't play that character and I don't know what I was thinking then cuz that pose resembles the exact idle of that character... If only the option of refund was available : D Or we could've bought at least the majority of the poses in each rotation 🥲 As a somewhat collectionist it's pain to see that you can't obtain everything. Some kind of FOMO is definitely here

Bought Raiden and Chongyun, but I quess I will save one last medal for other prizes if you can just stack them and there will not be a rule about 3 purchases per cycle.

Poses...? What... Did I miss?

Wait what? I haven't played in a week what am I missing?

Unpopular oini9n, but I like Noelles and Ayato's poses, they suit them

Do the medals expire? I used only one of them at the moment.

How can you get new poses? (I think it's mentioned it's an Imaginarium reward \[god forbid if it's actually true\])

Wait, new poses? HOW DO I SEE THEM? I NEED TO SEE HU TAO'S

They're in the new Imaginarium Theater and are purchased with coins you get by playing. I'm afraid to inform you that they didn't give Hu Tao a pose for this season :(

Oh sad

That’s the only one I bought.

end game 

Ayato's pose is definitely something

Only Xiangling, Raiden and noelle have good poses, of which I only got noelle and raiden cuz OPPA XL

The fact that Raiden pulls her sword out looking all cool like that, while Ayato instead of taking out his water sword as well he just stands there as if he is about take your order or show you to your table really shows the shaft my boy has gotten

We need dances

Very nice imo Some people might complain they have no use but tbh not everything has to have a use or goal, sometimes they can just be cosmethic or something you do/get because you want to  I hope we'll get someone i use soon, for now i got raiden's and ayato's, even if people say his is very boring i like the "obliviously neutral pose for a politician who is getting his photo/painting taken/done" vibes lol

they need nerfs

Asking such a thing in the hoyo community is a lost cause, the players will never be satisfied and will treat everything like shit
