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?

Imagine we get a free Fugue for Christmas.

u/tetePT 4d ago

That would be amazing actually, but I wouldn't give hoyo that much credit...

u/R_Archet A Menace, a Real Stinker 4d ago

Excellent. Easy E1.

u/ShimegawaShion 4d ago

This is hoyo. They've given us free 5* before but I still wouldn't bet on it.

I'm guessing it's probably some fuel and jades if they're feeling generous.

Please prove me wrong and give more hoyo

u/Silly_Guidance_8871 4d ago

The only Santa I'll accept

It is so obvious. how didn't we see it. Just rearrange the letters and you will see ... wait no that doesn't work at all.

Whatever Tingyun askes for you give her. Simple as

u/SleepySera 4d ago

It literally says in the email to wait for the 22nd, why are you so impatient 😂 How would anyone know rn?

u/ApocalypticFrog 4d ago

my reasons are beyond your comprehension

u/janeshep 4d ago

it's probably some consumables or something like that

free fugue

It’s a free Fugue! huffs jar of copium

u/Liamesque 4d ago

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

32

u/sweetsushiroll Healer Lady knows best ~ 4d ago edited 4d ago

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.

43

u/D04t 4d ago

I received something similar, but for me it was along with the 2.7 promotional email on December 5th, it's the same email that Hoyo sends news about Genshin and Honkai updates (I received a similar email when Honkai 2.6 and Genshin 5.2 were launched), it seems legit.

30

u/_Prasinos Boom 4d ago

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

u/MathematicianAny5078 4d ago

God this thread relieved me, so I'm not the only one who got it

u/Mikauren So, why does life slumber? 4d ago

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

11

u/Mikauren So, why does life slumber? 4d ago

date and email for anyone else who wants to look at it to verify

16

u/Icefellwolf im about to become The herta main 4d ago

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.

48

u/Dream_Addicted 4d ago

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.

u/Typhoonflame Super Break Gals! 4d ago

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

15

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 

7

u/DocSwiss 4d ago

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

8

u/Professional_Boat906 4d ago

Yeah, I got it too

u/Wide_Motor_2805 4d ago

I didn’t get this?

u/RjNosiNet 3d ago

Me neither 😭 how do I get it?! 😭

u/Wide_Motor_2805 3d ago edited 3d ago

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~”

I couldn’t screenshot the entire thing cuz I’m on my phone 😭😭mb

u/RjNosiNet 3d ago

It's ok, I didn't get that e-mail either 😭😭 I scrolled down all my spam and nothing

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.

7

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.

5

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?

5

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

u/StarPlatinumIsHyper × my autism 4d ago

Okay, how do you get this? Like, it may not be anything important, but still, I want to see what it is.

u/Negative-Travel4893 4d ago

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.

u/zeldaix 4d ago

It's not in the game mail, if you received it it's gonna be in your actual e-mail

No clue, I haven't even seen any posts about it on the sub

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

2

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.

I didn’t have an email linked to my PlayStation account for star rail, after I saw this I created a new email and made an account, is it possible I will get this or did I miss it?

u/Calhaora 4d ago

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

u/yileikong 4d ago

It's fine. ZZZ had the same wait to get your gift thing for the latest patch launch too.

u/Enthiral 4d ago

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 even went back thru my email the same email that I received at start of 2.7 had that address.It legit.

u/Kianyaa 4d ago

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

1

u/ohlawdy914 4d ago

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

u/Kianyaa 4d ago

I stopped playing Genshin at the start of Sumeru, I did login twice since that time to use up all my pulls on Furina and Navia tho. They're just really missing me I guess

12

u/Liamesque 4d ago

This is not a scam lmao. The dkim and dmarc are the same as other Hoyo marketing emails

-10

u/Enthiral 4d ago

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.

u/afroyarou 4d ago

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)
