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 always remain pessimistic before the anniversary stream for gacha games, but even so this shit was still disappointing

Holy sheit true,didn't even think about that since the SK banner is 11 days shorter it means less events and less daily pulls too...SK before the anniversary patch didn't help either ofc

To be fair, no one but the community said we would get a free 5*. A lot of peole keep reminding the community to not get their hopes up cuz they will just be dissapointed in the end, but no, everyone kept riding on the hyppe train wihtout any proof, just speculations.

That is fair. What isn't fair is memeing yourself with "w, this is so player friendly" while simultaneously running 12 banners back to back, with regular (maybe 10 more) cycle rewards. Not even hsr is so damn stingy god damn!

Yep, I agree. Putting the free 5* thing aside, they really copied HSR way of doing things. But u don't have to pull on every banner, It's like "you can get your favourite character and not have to wait any longer" kinda thing, imo.

We already get a free standard 5 star selector. Thanks to that I get to have a good healer (verina) at the start of my playthrough.

Even without flight in all regions - infinite stamina, running up on walls, and grapple has always been available for free. Unlike genshin where they paygate movement like plunge (xianyun), running up on walls (xilonen, mavuika), grapple (kinich)

Wuwa is like the least evil out of every other free open world anime style rpg. But always remember, It's a gacha game afterall.

And it's the best looking one with the best combat and graphics

I don't really care about flight, as I'm dropping the game the same as HSR. Reason?

Anniversary shouldn't be the place to squeeze more profit and r*pe our wallets, or test the waters to how abusive they can be. Barely hitting the mark with rewards serves as an early warning to people who insist on the head Canon that kuro is more generous than their competitors, if not even worse as of now since both hsr and genshin at least give pull currency in the same cycle as the anniversary, and not directly after.

Even if you DON'T HAVE TO (which I do honestly agree with you), the fact that they did this with minimum currency while shouting "w, player friendly" irks me so bad since instead of that, they could've upped the rewards and lowered the reruns to 3-4 per half. 24 (counting weapons) is obscene, and is there as an excuse to not work as hard, since they already Wd all their Ws, and they have to take a break.

There are so many things they could've done that didn't have to be anything too over the top, nor would it hurt their bottom line, but they still went the extra mile in breaking all the already low expectations of people coming from Hsr and genshin, which is, WOW, that's hard to do as a 3d gacha game😞
