Support NeoGAF

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

So I thought about this for a bit, and I won't be renewing my BP in WuWa anymore (had it active ever since I started the game back in November of last year). It gives pretty poor value compared to BPs from Genshin and now HSR (useless 4* weapons compared to those two games, and I already have four 5* standard banner weapons and 2 signatures to meet my teams need). I was mostly buying it as a gesture of support for how they were handling the game (remember the meme, game first, gacha second?) and for the small amount of astrites and pulls. All the other stuff in there doesn't interest me one bit as I have tons of the materials and don't plan on pulling for more than maybe 1 character per patch.

I'll buy the $15 pack for double currency so I can get one of the summer swimsuit skins (I'll have to see them both in-game to decide which I'll go with), and after that, I'll be content with just keeping the monthly $5 subscription.

I'm also over the drama with the anniversary. They can give a free 5* or not, remove the 50/50 from those 10 anniversary rerun banners; I just couldn't care less what they do.

Well, well...what a roller coaster ride this whole anniversary situation has been.

The fact that they tweeted about the login bonus leak, acknowledging it, baffles me. How fucking dumb can you be?

The extra rewards after CN rioting where pretty much planned from the get go. There's nothing there to compensate the players.

This whole "Devs listen" theatrics back fired for Kuro so damn hard. Not only I don't feel sorry one single bit, but I'm glad CN players are still not letting this one go.

Some may say that the community is demanding too much, but don't forget, every single time these companies want to assault your pockets, they do.

So we are in our right to ask for better rewards, specially in an anniversary situation, where players, more than ever, are waiting for companies to spoil them with rewards.

• Would it cost them that much to make the first banner from the rerun batch 100% guaranteed, making further ones 50/50?
• What about 4 star units? Don't want to give 5 stars, ok cool, introduce 2 or 3 new 4 stars characters during anniversary and give one free.

All in all, I still like the game pretty much, but Kuro managed to hit pretty bad reputation levels in my eyes.

Real talk, I don't know how they reviewed that anniversary stream and didn't realize they were going to have a shit fit on their hands. These guys aren't stupid, they've been in the business since what, 2016? They knew damn well the stream was going to piss off players and yet they went with it anyways. Probably a bit so they can pull the "devs listened!" move, but I think the community at large is well and good over that shit now.

I wonder if they really have zero respect for the intelligence of the playerbase. I know there are a lot of idiots out there, but c'mon...

Look at this shit:

Now that you've mentioned it and as we can clearly see on the image above, the number of pulls (excluding launch) and 3 other months are an absolute POS. How can you effin' get a character with just 82 pulls let alone go for their weapon (thank god I missed all this crap and continued playing after 2.0)? And it's not that much better the following 2 months too and until 2.0 - this is how an anniversary update should really be like, with the bare minimum of 150 pulls starting with F2P and a bit more for BP and Subs.

So it's what now, 139 pulls with the added 30 logins? Still not enough, even if I'll manage to get Zani now. How can anniversary update be much worse than 2.0 launch? And do remember that the whole 2.0 launch was huge apology update for how terrible 1.0 was (and frankly everything else until Shorekeeper and Changli) so they had to do something to turn things around big time. How can you even manage to fuck thing up so bad two times and at almost exactly the same time just a year ago when 1.0 launched? Unbelievable.

Shorekeeper is so awesome omg, she is one of the best looking character in the game and her kit is so awesome. It's easy to feel my dps buffs with her remind me back when I got Kazuha in Genshin

Yea her buffs are great and her healing makes you functionally immortal if you dodge even half the time in general content. Huge account buff to have her.

Well that's the gacha model, getting just enough to get part of a "full" character, but then having to pony up for the rest unless you get obscenely lucky. I'm generally ok with the free resources + Asterite subscription as a low-cost way to play the game, but for the anniversary you shouldn't be at the same amount or LESS. That's the insane part to me.

Keep in mind that 10 of those pulls are standard banner, so they're useless in terms of getting limited characters/weapons, and shouldn't be added to the count IMO. I'm guessing when all is said and done, we'll probably end up in the ~150 pulls range with all the apology shit they're going to have to distribute to satiate the playerbase. So stupid and short-sighted though. A free Ciaccona, a 5* selector, or hell even a fanservice costume for Yang Yang or whatever would have gotten them so much hype from the general playerbase, and they blew it. Completely and totally blew it.

Anyways, here's Cartethiya in a pan.
