Posts from Genshin impact

It seems the chances of getting anyone decent there are extremely low. In Guild Battles, I immediately started playing with SSR units, even if they weren't the best – but they already made the gameplay less tedious. And the rewards were truly free, not "play until a certain point and then collect them yourself."

Yeah, I'm just being sarcastic about CG's "generosity." I don't really like this meme being applied to a game with the worst gacha rates I've ever seen. Genshin actually has a decent system, I'd even say it's fair, but the resource flow for rolling is really low, plus there's no excitement from the possibility of getting a 5-star character because the pity system resets.

I didn't quite understand the post above, but the fact is that it's much easier to get what you want in Granblue, just on a different level. You can't always get exactly what you want, and not necessarily right when it comes out, but you definitely won't be left empty-handed – whereas here, you might.

From a gameplay perspective, Genshin Impact doesn't require you to have a large number of characters, but since it's a gacha game, the desire to obtain a specific character is one of the main motivating factors. However, there are certain problems with this due to the low inflow of resources, but in terms of rates, there's no difference compared to GBF (I would even say that they are better here, because you are guaranteed to get four-star characters, which, unlike in SRok, are more than usable). There, you are deceived with a 6% chance of getting an SSR, while the chance of getting something you actually want rarely exceeds 0.3%, which is especially noticeable when you've been playing for a long time – the rates seem high, but out of 6%, 5.7% is useless junk. In any other game I've played, the rates are more attractive, even in FGO, which is often used as an example of a bad gacha. The probability of getting a desired five-star character is 0.8%, which is almost three times higher than in GBF and Genshin.

Yeah, I guess that's how it is when you play for a long time. But the difference is that in Gbf you can use a support skill or a spark, but in Genshin you can't even do that.

Sparks are indeed present on levels 90 and 180, while support units are very useful, but based on my observations, this is mainly a Japanese thing, and you don't see it as much in Chinese or Korean games.

I agree with Ment that Genshin is a very greedy gacha game. 60 Primogems per day for daily tasks, and you need 160 for one roll – it’s just awful. But I don’t agree at all about the lack of variety in monsters. For example, if you go through the blue arteries of the earth, the sequence is as follows: first, treasure hoarders, then ruin guards, then stormterror’s louts, then hilichurls with shamans, then abyss mages. And there are also Fatui agents (at least six different types), stone lizard, mega-minotaur, electro mages. Then there are bosses, and they are all unique. I haven’t killed only the Cryo Regisvine myself. In general, there is variety now.

Why is the pity reset?

Spark is available on floors 90 and 180, but support characters are very good, but in my opinion, this is mainly a Japanese thing and it is not found in Chinese/Korean games.

What are support characters?

One 5-star sword dropped, and zero 5-star characters.

If a 5-star sword dropped, then you were spinning the standard banner. Well, you made that choice yourself. If you had spun the event banner, you would have gotten a character. There are no 5-star weapons that drop there at all.

What are Surprise Tickets?

It's an abbreviation for Surprise Ticket. These are time-limited offers where you pay for a guaranteed chance to obtain a character from a predetermined pool. Some tickets even allow you to choose a specific character, while in others, the character is determined randomly.

Well, you made that choice yourself. If you had been spinning the event banner, you would have gotten a character. There's basically no chance of getting a five-star weapon from it.

But in the standard banner, you can roll for Jean, while event banners have Venti and Klee... The choice is obvious. And there's no point in speculating about what might have been. Maybe I wouldn't have gotten any five-star items there either.

You can roll a Genie in the standard banner, but event banners have Venti and Klee... The choice is obvious.
And history doesn't deal in hypotheticals. Maybe they wouldn't have given me any 5-star characters there either.

I also want a Genie. 😊 I'm a support main.

But it will probably be Tartaglia.

So, in the standard banner, you can roll a Djinn, while in event banners, you get Venti and Klee... The choice is obvious.

Well, actually... There's a 0.3% chance for the main character from the banner and a 0.3% chance for the other 5-star characters. This is significantly better than the regular pool, which also includes weapons.

Unfortunately, even the emoticons are not displayed.

I don't understand. So, the chances of getting Venti were higher than the chances of getting Jean in their respective banners?!
And overall, 0.6% combined for all the 5-star characters – yes, that's what I was talking about when I said it's outrageous.

I don't remember there being a banner with Jinn... If you're talking about the one behind the blue Fates, there aren't any raid setups there at all.
