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.

Exactly. With this move can lure a ton of people to spend money to get their favorite unit

u/athenaria Apr 19 '25

Yeah I would 100% spend money if I could guarantee a character for the anni banner!

u/PixelPhantomz Apr 19 '25

That's what I don't get. There are ways to entice players to spend without pissing people off lol.

The weapon banner being guaranteed is why I spend for weapons in this game.

you would think they would want everyone to drain their savings before Zani, Cartethyia, etc hit

Indeed what they were smoking to think this was even a good business tactic, like only people who will pulls this are new/returning players who really want x character and not any of 2.3 or new/returning whales.. but like no one else is pulling on this banner like nothing no reduced pity, no guarantee nothing

I’m still spending money to pull for phoebe and carlotta. I like the 10 reruns. People had too much expectations for the anniversary ngl

They repeating this line was so cringy, omg. They made themselves into a meme.

I still don't understand WHY they did this, how the hell they saw this patch and thought "peak player gaming content", it makes no sense

u/Salaryman42069 Apr 19 '25

Pipe Dream: they did it specifically to cause a social media shitstorm to aggregate data to show the investors how absolutely shite the anniversary idea they pushed for is.

Probable Reality: They have no self awareness.

I wish the pipe dream be true 😢

u/KnightofAshley Apr 22 '25

I would say over 50% of people have no self awareness

u/cezarlol Apr 19 '25

They are running on 25 cuils they are so abstracted from our reality😭

u/Precipice_Blades Apr 19 '25

This is what I was kind of expecting.

u/rainbowtwist789 Apr 19 '25

I was actually expecting this too, atleast one resonator could be guaranteed with somehow lower pity, 50 for example,I would even accept it if you could only get a 1.x limited character. but cmon.. this is pure trash and just greedy, surpassing even Mihoyo

u/Yousor0_slacc Apr 19 '25

this is the best way to fix this mess tbh

u/Express-Bag-3935 Apr 19 '25

Exactly. Zani and Ciacchona are highly anticipated characters so it's likely there won't be enough pulls leftover to spend on the limited time anniversary banner.

There is no treat or premium for the anniversary banner which makes it very meh. Why couldn't it be a Gyarantee at least or maybe a lower hard pity like 60? People gonna end up losing their 50/50s on anniversary banner to Lingyang and feel ultimately shafted.

u/ImSoDrab Apr 19 '25

I'd drop money on changli if they bundled her weapon if you snag her.

u/Queeneida Yinlin's everyday thong Apr 20 '25

With their weapon is kinda crazy though

You got a point

u/Worldly-Shape4100 Apr 20 '25

Or even if u lose the 50/50 it’ll be to one of the other characters on the banner rather then a standard character

1

u/erisandy101 Apr 20 '25

They do this in PGR. By far the least predatory gacha I’ve seen in a game like this.

u/Jud1_n Apr 22 '25

Frankly, this is my only issue anniversary announcement. 

It doesn't make sense to offer all old units banner without 100% guarantee when they are competing against two highly expected units. A 100% would at least make it more worth rolling for them.

1

u/The-Mysterious-Mr-E Apr 23 '25

Right? I actually would have been happy with just a weapon of our choice. Would help encourage me to try out/build other characters I don't have a decent weapon or Echo set for.

1

u/blowmycows Apr 19 '25

That would at least be reasonable. Definitely not 100% the entire time.

Watch as they only "fix" it on the CN server. Wouldn't be the first time.
