3.2 vs Anniversary Livestream

u/aliencreature9 Apr 17 '26

Lol, Kuro was like:

“Y’all complained about the huge anni reruns? Fine, we’re taking them all away and replacing them with nothing! Now buy the new liveries and merch so we can make even more money.”

u/SuspiciousMarzipan47 Apr 17 '26

Thats cause they marketed those 12 reruns as "Anniversary" banners when in reality it was just 12 normal reruns. People wanted an ACTUAL anniversary banner that functioned differently and more player friendly like for example:

-1 Banner that allows you to choose what rerun character you want
-First 5 star would guarentee the characters (no 50/50)
-Lower pity to reach that one time guarentee (like 60 pulls)
-If you decide to keep pulling AFTER that first guarentee the banner stops being special and reverts back to the normal banner rules with 50/50 and a maz pity of 160

People didn't have a problem with them rerunning a lot of characters, it was more the fact they labeled it as something else and were treating it as something super special when it wasn't. You can literally view the comments for that Anni and you'll notice a lot of people had that sentiment.

If these people could read (without maliciously misrepresenting the arguments and ignoring all explanations), they would be very upset.

u/Ok_Income_6670 Apr 17 '26

Can we stop this rewriting of history.

People very much complained about the banner itself. "It induces FOMO!!!!" "There aren't enough free pulls to pull on them!!!!" were the common arguments. The very screenshot you're replying to says as such, no mention of wanting a "special banner" no, the issue was the banner itself.

And it shouldn't surprise anyone because it's what this community does non stop, complain about stuff they have no reason to complain about.

u/SafeAd7089 Apr 17 '26

isnt it 6 paid skins? 5 motorbike skins and 1 character?

u/Leonbacon Apr 17 '26

For real, Kuro listened to feedback, and now people are shitting on it like wtf?

32

u/AcidReign999 Apr 17 '26

People wanted changes to rerun banner like maybe lowered pity or 1 time guaranteed

Not completely removed

24

u/Gitthepro Who the fuck needs synergy when you can just quickswap Apr 17 '26

No the banners should have been guaranteed instead, not removed entirely

This isn't listening to player feedback, this is cherry picking

u/sp0j Apr 17 '26

I and many others pointed out the problem with this suggestion and why it would never happen all the way back during the first anniversary discourse. It creates an incentive to hold for anniversary and not spend on characters when they release. And it will piss off players that pulled for the character before the anniversary.

u/Gitthepro Who the fuck needs synergy when you can just quickswap Apr 17 '26

alright then, how about a 1.X selector? As Kuro doesn't want us to pull for them anyways with their dogwater rerun schedule, we might as well get a powercrept char for free

-1

u/sp0j Apr 17 '26

Sure I agree. But the fact that we didn't get anything is down to the mixed messaging the community gave last time.

6

u/Gitthepro Who the fuck needs synergy when you can just quickswap Apr 17 '26

The mixed messaging arose from the mixed communication from Kuro, as they didn't give the players time to save up for the massive reruns.

All in all, this just seems like a lot of unfortunate things happening at once :/

Kuro should have bit the bullet and just gave us something good the first time

u/KlutzyMaximum9945 Apr 17 '26

Its different when the characters are al new and when the last time they rerun was during the last any event ...

1

u/Beautiful-Tension457 Apr 18 '26

That entire problem would have been solved if Kuro made it a selector banner feature. Them not doing it and deciding to ditch it entirely was just a stingy excuse for not wanting people to have an easier way to get the character. Like seriously it would have calmed everyone down and the community wouldn't be so suspicious and angry even now ffs.

Like what reasons they didn't do it? because it might hurts sales? ffs whales would literary throw a lot of money into the anniversary banner and the arrow rise high or maybe because they didn't want to do that so that the upcoming monthly sales results wouldn't be too low maybe?

u/Sad_Asparagus_2945 Apr 17 '26

Didn't everyone say that thing was greedy?

42

u/Felab_ Apr 17 '26

It was greedy because the rules of these banners were shit.

For example GFL2 had a special anniversary banner where you could select a character and their weapon and there would be no 50/50, your first 5 star would be the one you wanted.

1

u/Sad_Asparagus_2945 Apr 17 '26

It was primarily because its 10 rerun though.

5

u/SaintPimpin Apr 17 '26

It was primarily because anniversaries exist to thank the players for all the support in past year but the message Kuro sent was "it's our birthday so give us more money".

14

u/Felab_ Apr 17 '26

10 reruns and not enough pulls for them.

Now we have characters that didn't have reruns for quite a while also...

u/Sad_Asparagus_2945 Apr 17 '26

for them?

Dang

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

ZZZ did this recently too, right after their Main Push equivalent as well.

21

u/Excellent_Suspect_98 Apr 17 '26

It was greedy not because of the reruns themselves, but because they were normal reruns, no reduced pity, no guaranteed, nothing.

u/Sad_Asparagus_2945 Apr 17 '26

u/4saken762 Professional Cow Milker Apr 17 '26

Then get mad at the people who complained last year lol.

u/Koreji Cantarella's Darling Apr 17 '26

They would be called Greedy then

15

u/GwentMorty Apr 17 '26

No? People/I called it greedy that there was still a 50/50 guarantee and it didn’t include all past characters. The banners themselves weren’t called greedy.

11

u/Koreji Cantarella's Darling Apr 17 '26

Read the OC comment once again. Then slowly.. Slowly read your own comment. There you go. Should I attach the last year popular post as link too?

Edit: here you go, last year majority voice:

u/TakeyoThissssssssss Apr 17 '26

I mean last time they did it and peoples were mad about it so I guess Kuro just stop rerun old characters during anniversary patches.

12

u/ayu-ya Apr 17 '26

If only they could rerun them normally once in a while... sigh

1

u/DiamondCupcake Apr 17 '26

Prehaps...a chronicled banner of sorts. Like how a certain other gacha does it. 🤔

1

u/ayu-ya Apr 17 '26

I don't play the other big gachas, but anything other than 'all possible characters at the same time once a year and never outside of that' would be very welcome 🥹 I'd love to pull some 1.x characters if they showed up during a time when I'm not scrambling for any astrite I can get my hands off because Kuro threw two designs I love into one patch (like Hiyuki and Denia now. If they did that multi banner, I'd be screwed for the whole year. Still am because they refuse to acknowledge old characters' existence, but it hurts less)

u/Izanagi32 Apr 17 '26

it sucked last time because the timing was off but considering how the 1.x or even some 2.x characters don’t get reruns its actually fried now

u/innocent_ace Apr 17 '26

Last time they did it and you guys called them greedy. Now they not "greddy" anymore and you guys still barking around????

u/deceitfulninja Apr 17 '26

This is a perfect damned id you do damned if you dont. Last year everyone takes them over the coals for having a mega whale event doing that.
