Staff of Homa weapon banner functions just like the others in Genshin Impact. However, there is one feature that is causing people to fear the banner might be rigged!

Sorry if I am seeming negative and stuff… just starting to get really bored and feel like there is nothing to make videos on. I don't want to give up on you guys. Just stressed about the content and what to do each day when we have 5 minutes of Resin months after release. Love you 🙁
I started rolling for the weapon banner even tho people says that f2p should never roll for the weapon banner since when i got 2 5 star dps i started treating other 5 star characters as a curse
This is how the weapon banner works (and it is rigged): When the 5-star rolls, there is a 75% chance it'll drop the Homa/Gravestone pool When the Homa/Gravestone pool gets pulled, there's a 95% chance to get the Gravestone and 5% to get Homa (don't quote me one the %, it's around that number but it's a small sample size so far)
IT IS NOT 50/50 BETWEEN HOMA/GRAVESTONE, please understand that. This is why it's rigged! This has always been the way the weapons banner works. If you want the Gravestone, it's time to roll. But Homa is a new weapon and it'll rates will increase when a new 5-star weapon releases.
I've been playing since release in October and I only have one 5* weapon on my account. I'd much rather go for the 5* characters, and even then I never go for a character on rate up unless I have 180 pulls already prepared.
They really need to remove the resin system I have so many units stuck at lv. 20_40 A unit need mora books exp/talent Boss assinsion it's too much and my resin lasts for 5 minuts that like half hour a week of farming they shouldn't limmit the player base like this And also one day is lost on weekly bosses
It was painful watching Tectone struggle, and you could see the pain increase every time he got another Gravestone, but still I think you're missing how good this game is at this point. Remember that Mihoyo are the mobile gacha game company, and this is a cross-platform open work FTP game. That all story and quest content is accessible to all players, whether they pay or not, and that freeplayers can earn enough primogems to get a 5 star character every 3-4 months, and guarantee a banner 5 star every 6-8 months. Is it perfect? Far from, and judging from clip compilations, it's far more full of bugs than I have ever experienced. But it's not as bad as you make it sound either.
No new bosses? You probably mean the weekly bosses, because they just added the Primo Geovishap this month. New content? The Lantern Rite just started a couple weeks ago. Yes, the quests around it could use more variety. The fetch quests tire quickly, but the tower defense is a lot of fun, and you can make and release basically as many lanterns as you want. And there're more events coming.
And how amazing is it that instead of just one limited character banner, this month we're getting three , with two money pit banners for those who want them as well? So many options, so little time. Yes, Mihoyo needs to fix how the weapon banners work, but we all have the option to stick to our 4 star and event weapons.
So no, I don't think the game is as bad as you've made it sound. It's not perfect, it's full of bugs and flawed systems, but this is a game whose elements have been in the works for awhile, and it is a global FTP release. I think we could focus on the positives we're getting, while acknowledging the negatives exist too. And maybe, if we let Mihoyo know what we think of the bad, they might change things up and improve them.
And the next event will be better. Remember: Dragonspine wasn't too long ago.
Isnt that the nature of the gacha, tho? I stopped rolling once all my free primos ended from the event and I got a jean and some nice catalysts. never wished on weapon bannner. is it really that bad?
The fact sweet bby boi Tone has spent over 10 thousand! In this game. And doesnt own everything in this game leveled up speaks volumes. I feel bad for whales trying to 100% this game ngl
I like Gacha and I hate it, Gacha can be kinda addicted. there are many things going wrong with Gacha gems, it is so expensive for nothing. When it is not even guaranteed. I mean there are but like 180 wishes if u didn't win 50/50. Also, the events are only hype for a moment, and the rest is meh. I know the rest of you are also doing events cuz of Primogems. There's no actually fun of the event gameplay.
I don't know if it's just me but it seems like a lot of you aren't gacha players because if 2000 surprises you obviously you haven't played or seen many gacha games
I'm glad you made a video about it and everything you're saying is legit and real. This game comes so close to being truly awesome but falls short through bullshit like this. Weapon banner needs a change! I think there is something weird about this banner though. So far I've gotten like 5 Wolf Gravestones in a row and 0 Staff of Homa.
It's also hard to change how this system works since the two largest revenue generator (China and Japan) are mostly resilient to this business model. Of course, people rant about the rate and how all the new five stars are limited (which is not the norm). But in the end, the game was never intended for players to enjoy full contents without some spendings. That's the same for every other Gatcha game existed, unless you're happen to be one in a billion that gets everything within few pull.
I was so exited when I got Xiao thinking that I won the 50/50, but then I realized I got Qiqi from the childe banner and i was guaranteed to get him, I also got Mona from a single on standard thinking it was luck, but I looked back at my history and realized it was pity😔
I was really lucky and got mine within 42 pulls. I'm not brave enough to try and refine it. I would love another gravestone, but at my level, r1 seems to be enough. Just saving for the next best banner.
The thing with me is that I’m only mad I didn’t get staff of Homa cause now as a light spender the only legendary weapon I have is 3 wolfs gravestones and I got all of them since December until now
I think the weapon banner is close to if not basically gambling. The difference is, in the game, they will "pity" and at least give you something of somewhat reasonable value. The problem is, the thing may not be what you needed/wanted… So you are not gambling on if you will get anything, but you are gambling on if what you get is really what you want. In this case, the character banner is way better as the pity system there ensures you will 100% get certain charater after X amount of wishes.
In my opinion, this game is totally playable as free to play, since 4 star characters are totally playable, and it is not super difficult to get many 10 wishes which will give you multiple 4 star characters/weapons. Similarly, get 5 star characters and 5 star weapons are also achieveable as free to play. The problem is, you will have no control over what character/weapon you get in most of the time, and there is also the problem of getting something you already maxed out and don't need. Ofcourse, unless you are able to save 28,800 gems to 100% get a 5 star character… but it will take ages. I think getting 4 stars and 5 stars aren't that hard, but getting something specific is super hard because of the gacha system. This is especially the case when it comes to the weapons banner.
I think for people haven't invested that much into the game, most likely won't get anything useless from the gacha system as most people probably still have some distance away from "maxing out" characters or weapons, or at least don't have a lot of weapons/characters been "maxed out". However, for people invested a lot into the game, they are more likely to have many stuffs "maxed out", which means getting those from the gacha system don't really give them as much value. Taking this weapon banner as an example, getting a Wolf's Gravestone from the banner offers different value to people who already have it in R5 Vs. those who don't have it.
To summerize, because of the gacha system, the cost efficiency will drastically decrease in 2 cases: 1. if you are looking for something specific 2. if you already invested a lot and maxed out manythings in the game
The 1st issue is a bit better than the 2nd imo, since even if you don't get the thing you wanted the most, as least the thing you recieve is somewhat of a value. The 2nd issue is more of a bigger problem, like for example, what is the point of getting a character you already C6? What is the point of getting multiple same R5 weapon? As you probably won't even have enough characters to use them? Especially what they give you back is some resouces that you don't necessary really need. To make things worse for the weapons banner, they will not give you anything extra back, they will just give you excess amount of copies of the weapons that you don't even have enough characters to use them.
The value of each investment is diminishing as you invest more and more into the game, which I think is really a big problem. Just imagine 2 or 3 years from now, when you have a lot of characters/weapons maxed out, the chances of you getting useless stuffs will be higher and higher as you play more and more of the game… which is kinda stupid imo becase it is totally possible this would drive a lot of long time players away… especially when you pull for something and most of the stuffs you get is the stuff you already C6/R5…..
Sorry if I am seeming negative and stuff… just starting to get really bored and feel like there is nothing to make videos on. I don't want to give up on you guys.

Love you 🙁
I started rolling for the weapon banner even tho people says that f2p should never roll for the weapon banner since when i got 2 5 star dps i started treating other 5 star characters as a curse
Someone tell DaTruth he'll get one
This is how the weapon banner works (and it is rigged):
When the 5-star rolls, there is a 75% chance it'll drop the Homa/Gravestone pool
When the Homa/Gravestone pool gets pulled, there's a 95% chance to get the Gravestone and 5% to get Homa (don't quote me one the %, it's around that number but it's a small sample size so far)
IT IS NOT 50/50 BETWEEN HOMA/GRAVESTONE, please understand that.
This is why it's rigged!
This has always been the way the weapons banner works. If you want the Gravestone, it's time to roll. But Homa is a new weapon and it'll rates will increase when a new 5-star weapon releases.
I got the staff but I wanted the sword for diluc 🙁
I've been playing since release in October and I only have one 5* weapon on my account. I'd much rather go for the 5* characters, and even then I never go for a character on rate up unless I have 180 pulls already prepared.
I only spent ~$200 and got 2 spears, and a couple lithic weapons too….but of course I wanted the gravestone…
They really need to remove the resin system I have so many units stuck at lv. 20_40
A unit need mora books exp/talent
Boss assinsion it's too much and my resin lasts for 5 minuts that like half hour a week of farming they shouldn't limmit the player base like this
And also one day is lost on weekly bosses
I spent 700$ and got 3 Staffs and 1 WG >.>

Worst banner ever but all content creators were basically telling all players to go got the staff. Glad I stayed away from that….
Bro to be sincere, I think about abandoned this game, may be back to Wow or what ever, I'm start get tired.

Imagine Mrbeast spending 1 million on Genshin Weapon Banner.
It’s a scam. Why people not calling it what it is?
I thought spending money on vBucks was bad. This is a million times worse. I gladly spend "a few dollars and get exactly what I want.
"Standard Wish banner you have the same chances" me who was a f2p who got 3 qiqis in this banner after playing for 3 months.
I'm glad you made a video about it and everything you're saying is legit and real. This game comes so close to being truly awesome but falls short through bullshit like this.

Me who got it on my third 10 pull
Got bored because of the friggin gacha system
They better give us some juicy content from the money they got from Tectone xD
Got jade winged spear and staff of homa within 60 summons
Singles op
Xiao op
I think you whine way too much. In gatcha games you get what your luck get you not what you want, sad but it is what it is.
75% at the pity, not at a 5*, or I got really unlucky at all to get a 5* sword at this banner……
It's also hard to change how this system works since the two largest revenue generator (China and Japan) are mostly resilient to this business model.
Of course, people rant about the rate and how all the new five stars are limited (which is not the norm).

FREE
DAILY
WISH
Every other gacha game has that, except this one, and it would help SO much
The fact that this game is set up as a gacha is pretty sad tho, I agree
I was so exited when I got Xiao thinking that I won the 50/50, but then I realized I got Qiqi from the childe banner and i was guaranteed to get him, I also got Mona from a single on standard thinking it was luck, but I looked back at my history and realized it was pity😔
What we need is more things to do daily, I finish everything in 1h and a half when I just want to play more and more, that's sad
Im happy i got The Unforged on my first draw for $free.99 for the Zhongli banner and gave it to my Beidou
I was really lucky and got mine within 42 pulls. I'm not brave enough to try and refine it. I would love another gravestone, but at my level, r1 seems to be enough. Just saving for the next best banner.
we need lost ark or blue protocol:(
The thing with me is that I’m only mad I didn’t get staff of Homa cause now as a light spender the only legendary weapon I have is 3 wolfs gravestones and I got all of them since December until now
Meanwhile: Hu Tao Mains' discord server owner gets 2 homas in his first 10 pull
I quit this game
Keep playing just don’t give in to the $$$$ madness
