Genshin Impact players in shambles as Honkai Star Rail beats them to features they've wanted for years

Honkai Star Rail has been out for two days and already has some highly-requested quality of life features that Genshin Impact, the previous game from developer Hoyoverse, has yet to add even after more than two years of player feedback.

Daily activities are the focus here, though it's worth noting that many players (opens in new tab) (myself included) are also envious of Honkai Star Rail's mercifully dark-mode launch screen after years of Genshin Impact flashbanging them on startup. Genshin Impact players have also praised Honkai Star Rail for having an actual, well-written protagonist instead of... Paimon. But the assignments and daily commissions you're meant to clear every day are more important, and they're way better in Star Rail.

Like Genshin, Star Rail lets you assign a few of your characters to automated background tasks that generate specific resources, usually every 20 hours. Unlike Genshin, it also has a single button that lets you collect the materials from your completed assignments and instantly reassign the same characters to start that assignment again. So if I just want to continue farming character XP card assignments, I can keep the farm going with one button, whereas Genshin makes you manually collect, select, assign, and start all five daily assignments individually. 

This might sound like a small thing – and let's be honest, it is – but when you have to navigate the same needlessly click-intensive menus every single day for more than two years, you do get tired of clicking dozens of things a day when, as Star Rail has now proven, a single button would suffice.
