I've been using the same team for over a year with Yelan finally changing up that roster. You can get a solid team from ftp primo's/welkin without needing to spend more so the uproar that people cause over anniversary rewards isn't really as big of a deal that people make it to be.
Most of the people complaining and feeling entitled are F2P players who never invest anything into the game and do nothing to support it financially.
The rewards and anniversary are fine. People are just crying babies. People who expected free 5 stars were dumb and nonsensical
Finally another content creator that thinks beyond.
We just want a good dedicated anniversary celebration in game that everyone can have memories to hold on. Are the rewards enough? Ofc not, with the amount of money they make, its incomparable to what we get return. We are just sick of the typical greedy company who only want to benefit their on skin, which is whatever but we players just wanted 1 day free of that and they didn't deliver. They still don't care about the players unless they decide to leave. You're already playing the game? "Well we don't need to spend more resources on you since you're in already we gotta diversify and get other players in" this mindset, we just want it gone for 1 day thats it
people got many different perspective about anniversary.
for me, Genshin still in 2nd anniversary. So no need to expect high. Since they just gonna grow better and better.
1st Anniversary really a s**tshow, but they forgot what Genshin was to offer with the concert. People thinking anniversary content is just pulls.
2st Anniversary really elevated the expectation cause Genshin anime isnt a cheap anime that people thinking. People who still dissapointed with this anniversary awards, thats their lose. Cause what their offer isnt just the in game content rewards. We can see now Genshin Anime series and Genshin free PvP that basically will makes some CC doing creative way to create content with that.
Genshin is just goin to get better and more better. If you dont have patience and didnt see from Genshin senpai (Honkai), you cant see the pattern and how hoyoverse build their games.
overall, i love this anniversary. But if you think you dissapointed cause just the rewards in game, you just in BIG lose.
As a player of EpicSeven… Yeah that clip of Mtashed if he compared Genshin's Anniversary to Epic Seven? All I can say is, Just no. Unless he explained that completely, those free pulls barely mean anything, Because the free pulls are in the Standard banner(Which has no pity, meaning your rely on luck.) The 10 Mystic banner pulls… if we compare that to Genshin? Its basically 5 pulls over the 90 (Guarantee) Pity(He really thinks that's good?) the selector is good, but not THAT great, its just one hero,(And not even ALL the heroes are selectable) among hundreds of them, to each can either be META and Countered, or just good for a certain role.
The Genshin Anniversary rewards, 20 pulls, you put that over 90 pity(180 for Guarantee). They also gave the Festival which gave a lot of character interactions and some lore to many things. The content was rich that time. The In-game freebies were not that big, but maybe the way it was presented didn't feel special, but nonetheless, it shouldn't be something to be overly angry about, to the point people review-bomb genshin. Many people are just so new to the Gacha genre to think that Genshin is ACTUALLY stingy with pulls, in which case, most F2P who actually grind will AT LEAST guarantee to get 1 of the limited 5 star character each patch.
Of course we’re getting shafted!! 20 pulls for a veteran is like nothing. Even for a F2P, what does two 4* constellations do for you? Not much I guess. I think rewards should be based on how long you’ve been playing. So day 1 player get more rewards. I’m playing since 2.4 but I still say that’s the most fair model!! Because the longer someone plays the game the higher us the “customer lifetime value” for a company, must nit be the case but most of the time in marketing it’s like that!!
Sorry leaving a separate comment, oh no fonz doesn't like turn based games hahahahahaha jks. Are u not gonna play honkai star rail with us xD.
other games are so generous but did they retain or add new players? sure, but did it last? no…generousity is not the only measurement for a game to be "good".
Based on a few comments that I am seeing I will make this explicitly clear. My community isn't a place for toxicity. It is however a place to voice your opinion and be confident that you will not be attacked for it. If you wish to contribute to the conversation below please be respectful to myself and everyone else in the comment section. Thanks homies <3
As least I said give us 30-40 wishes and this is counting the primo we got from the event total.
So at least we can ration that 30-40 to go somewhere that is good.
Comparing Genshin quality to other Gacha isn't fair and it true since the budget and value of character in Genshin is triple or forth time higher then most Gacha game but they can't really just cheap out on us with only 20 again when they gain that much money.
Anniversary is usually what most player waited for due to the rewards and the event it have while also the one that the dev gain most the player money by releasing a ton of anniversary stuff but Genshin it pretty doesn't exist.
And they barely have skin to begin with, when they usually the best seller of any Gacha game, it like Genshin is literally hindering their money grow by not releasing more skin. How hard it would be to make 1-2 skin every .1 patch for a character when the community spend 1-3 day able to mod and make one and put them into the game. I would've brought all the skin my character have like the KFC skin for Diluc and Noelle but we never had those and the fan able to make that within a week with their editor.
I agree! Characters in Genshin are more valuable than in other games.
Lets Get to Straight up Reality and not just some Imaginary Hopium Fantasy/Dream.
1st If Someone has spent even a Single unit of real world Money in Genshin, You are straight up Not Allowed to get pissed off because of Aniversary Reward.
2nd, Its even for F2ps, They have Multiple 5 🌟 Characters and also 5 🌟 Weapons too, as Its been 726 Days the game launched.
and so even a Welking only user who gets Gurrenteed 5 🌟 per patch (5050 lose included). Or if lets get straight up to Calculation, gets 160 primos per day i.e. 1 pull a day.
So technically they should have Minimum 726 pulls if we just count Welking+commission primos.
TLDR, You guys wether its F2P or Welking user or dolphins or Whales, you guys have No Right to get fake pissed off because of the Aniversary Rewards of this REVOLUTIONARY GAME.
I Just wanna ask Every Player of Genshin impact, Does Getting free 5 🌟 Character (mostly standard) will Change your Old, build account?
So, Why being so Raged up when they give just a nothing. like it won't change anything in a long run if they give you what you desire to be given in an Aniversary.
I always will take Aniversary Rewards as a Extra, a Bonus. Not a necessity.
Voicing out my opinion as a gacha player for so many titles in the past, in an objective manner:
People really forget that every game is a business. Especially gacha games in general. This is why I sticked with Genshin for the most part: the quality is nothing like other games of its genre (gacha+open-world). I always feel that, if I spent money, it's worth it (eventhough its actually not since its a digital product, but meh, I have the disposable income anyways.) Sometimes I dont even have to spend money since I get lucky from time to time. And I understand that the game's focus is world building and not the challenging gameplay (people always push the idea that Genshin have a meta. Hun, you've never seen what actual meta looks like.) Even though many people swear by, for example, that Honkai is a better game in general it's simply not my taste as a consumer. Example, my main issue with Honkai is the stigmata which is a counterpart of artifacts. The absolute best is in a gacha, while in Genshin, u can simply farm it with resin no worries. So, if people think it's unfair to compare the quality of Genshin to other gacha games, then its also unfair to compare the rewards to other games. It goes both ways. After all the money I spent in this game, I still think the rewards are fair. Can be better, dont get me wrong, but fair. And when the time comes that I don't think continuing this is not worth my time anymore, I know I can drop the game in a bat of an eye.
I also just know that they will need to up their rewards eventually. Especially if twice will people try to set off an uproar. Maybe in the next Lantern Rite where technically its when the rewards are better since they're a CN company and CNY is one of the most important festivals IRL?
Do I have what other people quote as "Stockholm syndrome"? Probably. Because I still appreciate what the game offers me and I feel that my time is being well-spent by playing a game with a surefire quality. That's maybe also the reason why some people can't even quit the game after so many complaints. They know deep down that Genshin still captivates them from time to time. But what most people doesn't know is it's because of their marketing strategies too. Lol. Gamers need to find the game that will suit them and focus on that instead of trying to make a game to be something it will never be. It's a thankless and fruitless job. Game is something you enjoy, and if you continue to play a game you dont enjoy, then… i dont know what can help you.
And if after all this, you still feel that they should give out more rewards because of the revenue they make. Hun, welcome to the real world. Lol. The money they make is the reward for their work for the game. And I can say it's a fair game in the real world.
My main problem with Genshin's anniversary compared to other gacha is acknowledgement the way the other gacha handles their anniversary is they include their own anniversary events that shows players it is a big celebration so players will know what is happening at that moment, what Genshin has is just a login event and a mail event I get that the rewards are base on the game's genre but at least make it feel like an actual anniversary.
I would like to get a free 5* even if its from the standard banner, i would like to get a free skin for some character i have, i would like a damn ruin mechanical mountpet, something that feals special. Warframe a free to play pc game has aniversary rewords, every year they intreduce a new cosmetic or a weapon ( its not some top tear overpowered, its like a 4* weapon in Genshin), but they feel special and you can get everything form the prior years. Either way they keep improving the game so i'm satisfied
Free 5 star or I rage quit 😆
People should not be angry at all. This game being free to play and this polished and amazing its a reward in itself. And we are also getting a freakin anime. The ppl who cry will surly watch it pirated…
"Should we be angry?" Answer: Yes. End of the discussion, this anniversary is an insult to the players.
It’s called an anniversary for a reason.
You think Genshin is some lamb amongst the wolfs in the Gacha industry?
It’s standard protocol to give out more than what a regular update gives. 20* wishes isn’t anything in hindsight. Especially when on a 50/50.
Just a reminder that Hoyoverse owes us nothing, especially with how fucking despicable the community is 98% of the time, we’re getting an anime, new merch, genesis crystal reset, 20 wishes and a bunch of other rewards, giveaways, an entire new portion of a region larger than mondstadt, with an expansive underground so large it’s almost the same size as Enkanomiya, 14 thousand primogems from 3.1 exploration, events, and other stuff, not to mention the 13k that was already possible from 3.0.
You are not owed anything, you deserve nothing, be thankful for what you get because you know damn well you don’t deserve it if you’re one of the losers who whines about not getting enough FREE shit.
And then not even mentioning FGO or Arknight. Which have their own problem.
But arknight gives out 50 free pulls and more for each limited banner and that is at least 3 times each year.
And FGO gives out over 100s of Pulls on their anniversery.
7th Anniversery, their new updated was litterly, here take 300-900 SQ because now when leveling a character you get something back. which is 10-30 Ten pulls.
And these companies earn less than Genshin… Sentimental value because you can play the characters when the company can't even bring updates to characters that need like buffs on anniversery or improve the system for anniversery… that is weak.
Very well said OMG!!!😍😍😍 Soo excited for the anniversary and Nahida😍😍😍
Nope. Genshin Impact's 1st and 2nd anniversary rewards are trash, period.
Let's be honest genshin is pretty to look at but the content sucks running around opening chest and collecting plants is boring and spiral abyss hasn't had any additions in 2 years and that's the endgame dungeon so yes genshin looks better then those other gacha games but they all have way better content then genshin does
Do the fans deserve more? Sort of. A quote from Ronnie James Dio could sum it up pretty well.
"Treat the fans, the way they need to be treated. Because without them, we aren't. Without us, they will always be". He said that without the fans, he'd be laying bricks someplace.
At the end of the day, best not to shake the hornets nest too much, and try to improve the rewards. Doesn't have to be this 100 free summon nonsense people are talking about. Because that's expecting too much from what's become a giant corporation at this point. But the least you can do, is provide new events the way Honkai does. Honkai is willing to create completely new game modes. Free 5 star? Sure. Give us a standard banner one. Doesn't mean you're giving us a gigantic free gift that says "use and abuse me". Just nice to have that option for new players, and maybe people missing constellations.
Wanna make it not a 5 star? You've got plenty of loveable 4 stars. Some even preferred over the standard 5 star units. Imagine someone who still doesn't have Bennet.
If you want to stay in business, remember the fact that without the fans, you will never be. Because even if say the CCP liked Mihoyo, without any money to be made, Mihoyo would be a bleeding asset. So be VERY careful with how you think the relationship is. With the right push, and the player base can be pushed so far they go too far. So if you don't want a repeat of last year, YOU need to be better first, before you demand other people be better for YOU.
It should be obvious that people should just not do horrible things like threatening VA's and harrassing them. But if you don't want your gacha coomer game being review bombed, YOU have to give a reason to review it favorably. A company's choices matter far more in a gacha game than just it looking pretty and having debatably fun gameplay. Because that company's choices directly influence not just your expeirence with the game now, but the entire game over the years.
So uh how much research did ya do on honkai? Yea the begining of the game is MISSION based. Which isn't that rare in AAA games. However if you had looked at the game since the last year you would have seen it is on par if not surpassing genshin. The animations, the change in game play style, the flushed out characters. In fact every reason you gave why we can't compare genshin to other gacha games HONKAI DOES BETTER. The only thing genshin has is the full open world which tbh has gotten so boring as chests dont respawn and the game becomes 1) Mini game simulator 2) farming mats just to update a character. 3) doing dailies. There is not 1 character in genshin that has been more flushed out than any of the Honkai Characters. So while I can see you point in the other gacha games, honkai is NOT an orange. And I would highly suggest you take a look at the elysian realm saga and how it was done. THe reason this is a big deal is becuase if you post 3-4 year old honkai content you are creating misinformation and defending this ridiculous anniversary. And again it isnt like they are not using money, they are just using it for give aways where a few win vs everyone getting something. Dragon Ball LEgends does that BS too. And if Genshin did not want to be compared to other gacha games then it SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MADE AS ONE. Simply make ia 60$ AAA game with 20$ expansions and boom your good. MAke it have a server fee and there no more worries. But they made it as a gacha game to make more money, thus it can be compared to other predatory gacha games (I am a big gacha and I know they are predatory) Again I know it is your opinion, but i woul REALLY appreciate you to really look more into what honkai has become with its later story before you call it an orange to genshin.)
God this stingy game, it seems like mihoyo wants another review bomb.
Let me tell you the truth about 1st anniversary, it's simple:
Arknights 1st anniversary: 10 pulls limited banner + 14 free daily limited pulls + more orudums (currency for gacha which cost 600 to pull) (pity is 50 to get 6*) and whats more, a pack of choosing 6* (the max rarity) which using paid currency which f2p players are not allowed to roll it (spending real money to buy it). This is in 1st (and now is 3rd in China and also very generous, and increase the reward)
FGO: 1st anniversary you get 10 ticks and lots of supplies for newbies and oldbies (not too much) but happily the system has changed from the cost of summon reduced from 40 to 30, and also the Saint Quatz (gacha currency) when people already spend from the previous gacha will also be refunded the amount of SQ which are already discount. The more thing is FGO has surewin gacha (x10 pulls and guarantee 100% ssr without salty AF) which using paid currency (same as Arknights) (during 6th anniversary there is already guarantee 300 pulls same as GBF and Princone and Derby), the game is 7th year old now the reward is increasing in every year.
Blue archive: 1st anniversary get only 40 pulls (max guarantee is 200) and a lots of stuff like some supplies for building character until 1.5st anniversary, we get 100 free pulls (10each per day) and also paid gacha to guarantee 100% ssr.
This is I list in 3 games and there is more, they do not give you free max rarity character but there is like buying the bundle for choosing ssr is the good way for people who contribute and support the game. That is why FGO is salty but still alive because of SUREWIN (same Arknights and Blue archive)
The problem in Genshin is they do not give you any offer from bundle, never give some supplies, resources for free to help us advance a lot without using resin, just like grind until exhausting with resin, you think thats enough for you during anniversary? And also gacha with ratio 1:1 with no discount, no privileges for you. Genshin does not even give you SUREWIN like using 1600 genesis crystals to get 5-star limited character 100% selector instead of forcing people to reach 160 pulls to guarantee, which one you feel satisfy? Of course, SUREWIN, but they didn't. The 2nd the reward in Genshin still the same as 1st (just changing the decoration I guess) while 3 games I list are increasing rewards and also progression system every year.
P/s: remember that, even you gacha to get 5* character during anniversary, you have to grind as hell you also feel awful because resin is limited, but other games I list that the grind is very easy during anniversary.
I'll start with, I don't play genshin anymore. I understand what you're saying; however, this being the rewards for an anniversary, emphasis on anniversary, is the problem. Saying, "Oh the gameplay is better than most gacha games", doesn't justify terrible rewards to players that have helped elevate this game to where it is. I don't know if you've looked at their monthly grossing numbers, but they are making more than enough money to at the very least offer a free 4* or 5* from the year 1 pool.
I understood your point. Genshin is a much more elaborate and immersive game compared to other gatchas, but still, this is precisely the company's strategy to make a bigger profit. That's the game's proposal, we shouldn't congratulate the company for fulfilling its proposal, we shouldn't thank companies for making well-made games, it's just how capitalism works, the better your product the better your performance in the market. As you said, we spent hours and hours on this game, most of us have already spent money, we enrich the company. The anime is just another marketing strategy, it's not a gift but another product. My point is, genshin's community is very dedicated, engaged and has a huge affection for the game and they don't seem to match our engagement. I'm not asking for something extreme like epic seven's anniversary, I just want something a little more expressive, that show that they also care about us and is not just a "let's give them 10 shots just so they don't bother us".
I'd love to feel like I'm playing the game but my fav character I want to play as is lumine and she's mute most of the time. I'm not. hard to do that.
forget the free pulls and everything. I just wish they figure out how to make an anniversary feel like an anniversary and not just a usual update you do some quests and finish everything within a week and wait till next update doing nothing but logging in doing dailies, spending resin and logging off.
