Lantern Rite in Genshin is a celebration for Chinese New Year and while players will receive up to 10 wishes if they participate in login rewards Hoyoverse also sent 3 Fates to players as a special thank you which has caused immense backlash from the CN playerbase over the framing of the 3 Fates.

pin??
and nothing of value will be lost
I'm a fate Grand order fan and this whole situation is very funny to me because I would be grateful if the fgo devs gave us three pulls for anything usually giving us one Saints quarts for story events and stuff like that you need three SQ to do a single pull if the fgo dabs gave us three poles it would be a momentous occasion
Edit: spelling
Genshin is one of the most predatory gachas i have tried im surprised it took them this long to get upset
Genshin has yet to give a single free 5star character or weapon. This is ridiculous after 3 years
And no Aloy doesn't count she is red not gold and not a real character
It would've been fine if they kept the same Lantern Rite Tradition and showcased new mini games again. Expectations are already that low and people will still somewhat enjoy the game. Hoyoverse said otherwise, they just had to mock the three years people spent in their game with 3 wishes as if that is something worth gratitude. That thing is just equivalent to one mini event wtfudge. 😂
I'd rather they keep being stingy than turning their playerbase into a joke. Hopefully the same thing won't happen to HSR in the future cause I play both games and the disparity of treatment is easily felt. 😅
Meanwhile blue archive JP getting 100 pulls for 3rd anniversary
It just feels insanely more difficult and tedious to get primos, never mind fates, over how simple the tasks are laid out in star rail for an okay amount.
I've been playing both (genshin for daily missions and star rail for dailies and story progress) since I got a new phone, so it's easier to puck up and start, but the only viable way I see to get primos in genshin is to use a map mod from gamebanana to show chest locations on pc.
I basically didn't play at all between the first and current Kafka banners, only occasionally claiming the mail from the hoyo app and managed to get over 100 pulls (only one kafka and maxed hook, rip my soul for i was not looking for a cute and funny character), but for genshin, even with actively playing, it feels like I'll not get to do a 10 pull for raiden once.
In a similar situation I think that Blue Archive also gave almost no summon items for their 2nd anniversary with a pretty bad rate mixed with pity points that disappear after each banner.
Nikke gave a LOT for their 1st anniversary but I wasted it all getting railed in the booty, by the booty, for the booty.
Eversoul was also pretty generous and is pretty good for summons.
Also trying echocalypse, it's okay, the designs are really good outside of battle, but otherwise feels meh.
Rant over again.
I wanna clear out my missions on Star Rail first, but I wanna get into Genshin. And with that mindset, between this, Star Rail, and Wuthering Waves and Arknights: Endfield coming out, if GI still doesn't improve after all that they honestly deserve EoS.
Ngl i want 4th impact to happen like first anni tho i don't want anyone going to Google classroom and any apps for dat matter to shit on dem💀
doesn't this happen every chinese new year? and the genshin players still keep funding these devs. typical smooth-brained cycle repeating
For reference, Arknights 4th anniversary livestream gave: 5 free pulls through mail, 3 free pulls on the year one operator banner, plus 12 total tier 5 resources (highest tier, promoting 6 stars to max usually takes 2-4 of 1 or 2 types of them) to everyone, just because it was on.
The event banner is also a free 10 pull, then 14 days of a free 10 pull a day, as is standard for limited banners. Theres other stuff going on as well, but those are the major one.
Interwined fate
3… 3 fates… For the lantern rite?? Has hoyo gone insane because of greed?
We got shit in all 3 anniversary, while hsr gets a free 5* in a regular patch, they get all the content we've been asking since forever, they get the rewards, they get the events, everything…
I'm done with hoyo, I'll let the patches roll, and when the story is done I'll rush it all… Disgusting pr stunt.
Blue archive gets 100 free pulls for its anniversaries, one coming up soon too and I was surprised to just get a free 10 pull worth of the currency from it simply being newyears a little bit ago.
The writing was on the wall from the beginning with their disastrous 1st anniversary that never got better.
I play both Nikke (the jiggly cyborg-girl harem game) & Summoners War. Both are vastly different in how they treat their player-base. Nikke is relatively new & when they thank their players they give free ten-pulls or some gems (in-game currency) or something like that. With Summoners War has been around for going on 10 years, it can feel like there's an intense hatred for the players by the devs. Genshin sounds closer to the latter. Maybe gacha game devs just get greedier & less player-focused with time.
1 2 or 3 wishes. I don't care. Especially since I don't spend a penny for the game.
I could care less about hurt feelings. If you aren't enjoying it stop playing
Hoyoverse are way too greedy with rewards, this is true. For example Blue Archive will have an anniversary in about a month – there will be 100 free pulls and a special banner with SIX percent rate for rare characters, and a a possibility to pull multiple limited characters from that single banner.
But still, I don't get why this got people so upset. There are worse problems with the game, like complete lack of endgame content. Once you have few strong teams, abyss is basically another daily quest that you do once a month. But devs keep adding side content and stuff for new players, ignoring the fact that old players and whales have no use for their overpowered characters.
That said, I love the game, and will continue playing it for the plot
inter>>>T<<<wined fates.
Like, fates intertwined.
There's no excuse to be illiterate, homie. Increase your browser / game font size if you need to.
Mihoyo not care for milked cows. But newcomers gain 20 blue wish from 4.4.
I think thats really a bad way to giving us a thank for supporting it for 3 years. I really thought Mihoyo realized that when the playerbase is not compensated enough they riot, that first year anniversary was the exact example.
This has been talked about in the intl Genshin community: Hoyo has no competition for Genshin, so they don't need to offer incentives to retain players. We can all say "they should give us this or that" but the reality is their business model is effective as they are basically printing money. Business exists for money not for players, it's easy to forget that when the characters and stories are designed to be personal so you feel like you deserve better. Maybe Wuthering Waves will finally give Hoyo a run for their money and then they will have no choice but to improve QoL, make fairer gacha mechanics, and provide more rewards to keep their players. At this point I would even take a crackdown from the CCP on gacha to shake things up.
I no longer play Genshin however I think people are being a bit dumb about this. My reasons for exiting had nothing to do with the gacha system and I do not know why people hang around specifically only for that and potential free "rewards" in the least punishing gacha game that is ultra easy to not need everyone and everything. Every time you ask a person who mains only gacha games about the actual game quality you just receive information about how much better the pulls are VS game X Y or Z. In the words of Xiao that information is "Worthless!" people will play a game where you only walk down a hallway and call it better if it has better pulls.
Damn even Blue Archive give a lot, more like 100 free pulls with more pulls ticket fer later too.. and its only their 3th Anniv
Chinese are extremely greedy. Still it's not really a big deal, chinese are simply throwing a tantrum because they're not getting special treatment this time. Geo being buffed because they were crying about some politics trash was enough.
