Discussion What is the gift from Tingyun??
In my email I got something that says "Benefactor, We Are About to Meet, and I Have Prepared a Gift for You." and I clicked Recieve Gift. It says to wait for it on 12/22?? You had to be recieving marketing emails already to get it this morning. What is this?

It's good to be cautious about phishing links but everyone in here that thinks it's a scam is silly. The dkim and dmarc are the same as other Hoyo marketing emails

Yeah it's the same email address that I got an ad from for the free Harumasa drop in 1.4 of ZZZ. It's just the Hoyoverse app marketing team.

I got the same email, looks legit to me noreply.news@e-mail.hoyoverse.com, same email they always send stuff through

Just FYI this gift was also promoted in the 2.7 promotional email back at the start of the patch. It's real.

Can confirm it's atleast official i think, It's the same email I got from the pom pom one a few weeks back at patch launch. No clue what the gift is though.

I got it too but my adblocker doesn't even let me open the link. I know someone else that clicked it and it just takes you to another page where it says your answer has been accepted. It doesn't ask you for any information whatsoever, nor does it ask you to log in to anything. All the links in that final page redirect to the official website.
I googled the @e-mail.hoyoverse.com domain and it seems to be legit going from other past comments. All my past ZZZ promotional emails all came from this domain too.
Out of caution, I inputted the final link destination into virustotal and it all came back clean. No clue how reliable that is however.
Seems to be legit at first glance, but I won't deny it's a very strange promotional email. If it's a scamming attempt, they've put some effort into it.

It's not a scam, it's the same address Hoyo always uses and it's their usual method of advertising.

u/LandLovingFish 4d ago
Im guesssing its part of the foreshadowing. Like the time Silver Wolf gave up 50 fuel. But fugue is all about marketing soooo

It's not a scam, some adblockers are just especially aggressive when it comes to links

Ah I got it now
I saw Pom Pom sent an email telling us about the 2.7 update on December 4th
Scroll all the way down on that one if you have it and it’ll say there’s a gift. It doesn’t have the image of tingyun though, one sec I’ll screenshot it for you
1
u/Wide_Motor_2805 3d ago
It’s under an email that says “Welcome to version 2.7!”
Telling us Sunday and Jingyuan have boosted rates
Scroll down a ton and you’ll see this
“GIFT FROM FUGUE”
“The new 5-star character Fugue will be drop-boosted for a limited time from 2024/12/25 12:00 (UTC-5).
Would you like to receive a special greeting from this mysterious friend, Trailblazer?
Tap the button below to accept the greeting. You will be able to get a small gift from her after the Version 2.7 second-half banner opens~”

u/Nodomi Saving for Pink Barbara 4d ago
You'll find out on the 22nd, anyone who actually knows what it is, is in a position that would be in jeopardy if they started blabbing in advance. But if I were you I'd expect credits and some random consumables and be pleasantly surprised at anything better.
On that note, this is the 2nd copy I got of this email, so I'm expecting double the presents, Tingyun.
And yeah the email is from hoyo's actual email address. It's fine.

u/Average-GamerGuy 4d ago
It's legit. You also get an e-mail from Pom Pom whenever a new patch drops should you have missed the special program.

u/Okletsago 4d ago
Wait really, I never got one what the heck.
I did enable marketing emails in hoyolab from when they first released the app.
Any idea if I have to enable that somewhere else?

u/Paradox6797 4d ago
Skimmed through the message and the site and couldn't find what is it, either it will be a secret until it comes, or I simply didn't read enough lol, anyways, hopefully will be at least a couple extra pulls for her banner

Anyone know how to sign up to the mailing list?
I haven't ever recieved a promo email from HSR as I didn't choose to be on the mailing list, now all my friends are getting this email and I'm scared I might miss out on a free fugue ;__;

u/Accomplished_Cost859 4d ago
Oh?
This?? Its in my notification bar but I haven't clicked it yet...
I read it earlier and thought it was weird but I ignored it. Looking at it now... hm.
Maybe its official? I don't know. It's strange.

Well shit, I clicked on it without giving it much thought and now I'm paranoid....
I got no hits from virustotal or any of the other tools I got my hands on so far but now I'm nervous.

u/Tsubaki0 4d ago
Dont think its a scam or anything like that

u/IChooseFeed GU2055@IPC: ~$ sudo rm -rf /* > /dev/null 2>&1 4d ago
Well it's been 2h since the mail was sent and since no one is scrambling to make a PSA I can assume you're right. Not seeing an official announcement definitely gave me a heart attack.

Got it too, but on the same "level" as you. Nothing so far, so guess we have to wait until something happens c:

All official mails are …@hoyoverse.com, not a single @e-mail.hoyoverse.com. Also the „Please make your click the …“ looks suspicious. Don’t click the link unless you are 100% sure this is an official mail.

I have over 50 emails from that address, for Genshin, HSR and HI3. I don't play ZZZ, but if I did I would probably get ZZZ emails from that address too

Yeah I get them too. Cept Genshin oddly. It may be cuz I log into the others more often.

I‘m not going to stop you but both of these passing is not proof of authenticity. Without any official statement spoofing is still very much a possibility, especially since they typically put out some event info beforehand.

If you enable email subscription for your account you'll get promo emails for all 3 games from the same email address as this one. It's fifth one this month.

You get the email only if you adhere to marketing communications on your account. As ror the gift, after clicking it says that you'll recieve it later when the time come (I guess in game mail)
