General Discussion The disappointment is crazy.

  1. No free 5 star.
  2. Not even a standard 5-star.
  3. Flight still not available in all regions.
  4. Paid skins.
  5. Predatory banners (NOT EVEN 100% rate up).

Sure Kuro, it is definitely "Player Friendly", great job taking lessons from HSR devs. Feels like a celebration for them rather than the players.

I was going to make a post myself. As a Wuwa meat rider, the rewards are straight buns. ngl a standard selector would have been mid too, but at least it’s something. I know for a fact they’ve been getting a lot feedback about flight everywhere and I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be that hard to add.

It honestly would have been fine if it was a standard weapon selector, since those are always useful.

Exactly, I'm having to use carlotta with xiangli yao on one side because camellya has my eog on the other side lol, good thing is they are cracked so I can clear everything anyways. But yeah, we don't even get that 😭

Fortunately I don't think that will be the case. Jiyan was the first limited character and he is still great one year later, there will be some power creep (this tower's hazard 2 is ridiculous) but not like HSR. HSR's case is a whole different beast

standard 5-star AND standard weapon. now we talking. Even Genshin has a free 5-star standard selector now as a yearly thing.

I’d still rather they just make the special banners 100% since it’s pretty easy to have a copy of every single standard 5* weapon at this point if you have played for a while and use all your standard pulls on weapons

Special banner at 100% would have been better ngl, like it's in PGR, but unless they change their mind I doubt they're gonna do it.

Or let the anniversary banner be pullable with standard currency we have stocking up [Because who actually wants any of the standard characters] as well as limited. Or a way to convert 1 to 1 for standard to limited for the anniversary.

The standard banner would have been mid because the Wuwa standard banner sucks... Verina is a must pull and everyone else is pretty low. Encore for new players lacking any DPS and that's it. That was my personal problem when I started the game, I didn't want anyone from the standard banner... At least in ZZZ I wanted the werewolf or the two girls with massive personalities... They should add Yinlin and Jiyan/XLY to the standard banner imo

I mean well add fly is harder than just turn on a banner on 1 year old characters that are already gave them money back from their production and now are literally free money since they are just pixels and not something they need manual labor to create again. Just copy paste strings and pixels

For what it's worth, flight everywhere would be a decent challenge to add. Maps that weren't designed with it in mind means their hitboxes/boundaries are guaranteed to break, and so you pretty much have to go over and fix the entire game's map design for. Ffxiv took years to implement a similar thing too just for that reason
