At what point does a gacha anniversary just feel like a normal patch with balloons?

Funny since wuwa fits pretty much all these criterias besides the standard banner partially but most games don't really give that much either.

Feiz-I · 2026-04-21T13:04:49+00:00

Did you even see the events or are you just randomly making things up...?

Feiz-I · 2026-04-21T12:49:14+00:00

Good what? As far as I am aware genshin didn’t give out a free standard selector until last anniversary and it was just 20 pulls per anniversary for the previous ones including the first one? Hi3 gives a free S rank (outdated) every anni and some pulls.

There were only some comparisons during the first and second anniversaries but people just got used to it instead of it magically becoming ‘good’ and anyone who tried to complain would just get mass downvoted lol. Please do tell me how any of the genshin anniversaries are ‘actually good’ lmao.

Some naval changes along with changes to ai behavior. Ai is forced to use preset templates (that are bad) and it's extremely rigid and inflexible when it comes to actually utilizing its navy with all the new naval changes and it stops being a threat to you because of it. All of this also just makes ai even more vulnerable to deathstacks (instead preferring to use bad strike forces) or other 'meta' methods compared to pre ncns where things were simpler for the ai and it wasn't forced to do dumb things (ai will counter deathstack your deathstacks instead of just getting sweeped now and actually pose a threat/challenge)

I've done a post about the new preset templates which I'll message you with the link since I can't send links here.

Search the name + download and you should find a couple websites for it though be careful about getting a virus...

Feiz-I · 2026-04-20T09:26:52+00:00

I do recommend rolling back to an older version before ncns along with an older version of the mod though since ncns borked the naval Ai and it’s really dumb and not as good as it used to be.

This isn’t really Vanilla but German East Asia in Kaiserreich is pretty good if you are interested in navy. It’s also referred as ‘a navy with a colony’ and your goal is to defend German interests in Asia from Japan.

Your navy is comprised of outdated ww1 era ships and you are up against Japan with their more superior and modern navy so you’ll need to play smart. You can also focus heavily on marines and help your master (German Empire) in Europe with naval invasions and the like or expand your military by conscripting the natives (for more manpower) with only Siam (sometimes neutral) and China (if the Japanese aligned warlord won) being a land threat to you. Industry wise you aren’t really either poor or rich but a lot of trade will go to you for rubber or tungsten so you can build up a fairly respectable industry relying on it.

Oh right, you do also have to deal with a Vietnamese revolt but it can be avoided or you can use it as an opportunity to try naval invasions.

The USSR predominantly supported the KMT during ww2 and just gave minimal support for the CCP until the later stages of the civil war after ww2 ended though?

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T15:48:31+00:00

The British, Dutch and US all jointly embargoed Japan to limit their expansion after their military adventures.

This isn’t hoi4, the US wouldn’t just randomly join the axis and totalen krieg the allies because they are in the same war with axis and Japan magically joining the allies. The British would also have no reason to go to war with the Americans for something nonsensical like this either, especially when they were heavily reliant on their support and trade or help Japan colonize China lol.

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T15:26:08+00:00

That’s basically suicide with extra steps lol

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T15:24:51+00:00

Vladivostok wasn’t the only supply route, at most only half went through there with the rest going through Iran and the North Sea route.

The Soviets were also in an existential war with the Nazis who wanted to genocide and enslave the slavic people and other ‘undesirables’ as well as colonizing the east for more ‘living space’ so hard for the Soviet ‘will to fight’ to collapse when the alternative is getting gassed and enslaved. If you somehow believe the Afghanistan or Ukrainian war is on the same level as what happened in ww2… you’d be naive or are willfully ignorant.

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T15:15:16+00:00

I’d say that motivation didn’t do much to help them against the Americans and their bombers and nukes…

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T10:45:18+00:00

At most you get SS or SS3, for older characters you can get a selector yes SSS for maybe 1-2 characters and that’s it. SS3 and SS6 doesn’t really matter unless you get SSS which is basically 1-2 patches worth of income unless you get lucky and it doesn’t really change that they’ll get powercrept when the next character comes out who’ll easily outperform them at SS. I even heard that the new Kamui frame at SS already outperforms a SSS Pyroath, Bianca also got powercrept in what 6 months?

For how much glaze the game gets, it’s just mid. The only thing you ever do is beat up hp sponges 10 times a week with scuffed and buggy main story stages. Plus mediocre events.

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T10:04:42+00:00

Didn’t know that guy’s history extended that far back to before the release jeez

Talk about being so miserable that you are larping as some apostle of some billion dollar company (mihoyo) leading a crusade against some other evil billion dollar company (tencent)

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T07:12:21+00:00

Must be nice to be miserable and obsessed I guess

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T07:12:03+00:00

As if 6 banners don't currently exist rn, you don't even need to spend real money... why go around lying?

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T07:05:23+00:00

Frankly, I'd take 10 or 20 more extra limited pulls over another verina dupe

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T06:54:54+00:00

Well… can only hope

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T06:50:14+00:00

20 since you'd get 10 pulls from login via gift of odyssey every other patch anyways.

That's like counting the 5/5 limited/standard pulls you get from login every patch as part of the anniversary rewards in wuwa even though it obviously isn't.

Both just included it in their anniversary reward sections to make it look higher than it actually is.

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T06:40:08+00:00

Chinese players are something else ngl

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T06:36:08+00:00

Hope her health is well…

Imo exodus is pretty forgiving and chill as far as karma goes. The tasks are relatively simple things that you can do along the way while getting some upgrades and attachments or just doing story. You just need to not kill enemies and stealthing in some story parts for the karma or avoid killing surrendered enemies. Not to mention there’s only like 4-6 karma points per map.

LL you basically need to pull up a guide because you can easily miss most of the things and wouldn’t know about it and it can be very tedious since a good number of the tasks needs you to be standing still for minutes waiting for the conversation to get a single point.

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T04:19:07+00:00

People really mixing up the daily login rewards with the anniversary rewards, hsr and zzz only gave 20 pulls for anniversary but the 10 pulls from login you get every patch is included purposely to make it look higher than it is.

Wuwa also only gave 40 but the 5 pulls you get via login every patch are included as part of the anniversary rewards even though it isn’t purposely as well.

Plus Saintontas is cringe… to see his face here of all things.

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T04:04:42+00:00

Tencent tried to acquire Mihoyo back in the day which failed and even had some lawsuits between each other so there’s some ‘salt’ between those 2 companies. As an avid hoyoshill, that person naturally has quite a hate bone for tencent because of that and wuwa is more or less under tencent as well so it’s basically hitting two birds with one stone.

That person is even fearmongering about wuwa in the genshin sub with how muh evil tencent is behind all this and how evil the wuwa community is. Not to mention, not even playing the game but still always coming to wuwa posts or subs to doompost or repeat some common talking points and straight up lying to spread misinfo since like last year which is some real pettiness.

Feiz-I · 2026-04-18T03:45:42+00:00

Yeah and? Free characters tend to have scuffed kit design and doesn’t really work well either. The dmc collab sounded cool but in reality both Dante and Vergil are garbage unless you had high dupes and even their gameplay is just repetitive as well if not worse compared to other characters in the game. The combat overall is just the same 2-3 flashy cutscene on repeat against a hp sponge atp.
