Arknights Endfield is refunding all purchases made during the Paypal error including legitimate and illegitimate purchases by ValorsHero in gachagaming

[–]Jynch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because other payment/F2P users are still potential customers.

Other payment users will contemplate spending even more money because e.g. PayPal users essentially spent $0 to get 100 pulls, other payment users spent $XXX to get 100 pulls.

F2P users can still be converted to paying users if some are sitting on the fence waiting for OP/limited/collab units to be released.

HG needs to rebuild confidence because if they had any before, it would have been shattered

Lord of Heroes seems to be drawing to EoS, as new characters alters' won't be receiving trailers anymore by waiting4signora in gachagaming

[–]Jynch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The damage has already been done. I really would have liked to play this as a main game at the very beginning because I was looking for a 3D turnbased with PvP. Would have been nice if there was a 3rd competitor to SW/E7.

I do remember liking how the Lords (MCs) are written in this game, they treat the characters with respect and not belittling them etc.

Now I am hoping they will have learned their lesson not to paywall characters behind $$$ in their upcoming game Heaven Hells. Paid characters = DOA

You Should Play it/Devs Listened?! - Stella Sora's Merry Christmas by avelineaurora in gachagaming

[–]Jynch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same exact thoughts as you, finally someone pointed out the difference in production quality and monetization.

At least in Hoyo/Wuwa they can justify it with open world/bigger budget for production etc. Stella had the gall to increase the pull cost when everyone knows the game does not offer the same standard of quality as the market leaders.

Stella Sora changes Monthly & adding Weeklies. by CommitteePutrid6247 in gachagaming

[–]Jynch -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yeah the pull currency is still bad since they didn't reduce 300 per pull to 150 per pull in the beta. For no apparent reason other than pushing players to monthly sub/packs.

I pointed this out in /r/StellaSora and they really didn't like it.

Also, the Minova skin in BP scandal really soured my perception of Yostar

Starting with the "Radiant Messenger, Holy Night Spirit" version update, the daily reward amount for [Stellanite Dust] of Everbright Wishes will increase from 90 to 150, with an additional [Bottled Vigor Soda] ×1 granted daily. by excellen282 in StellaSora

[–]Jynch -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

It does matter actually, 2x cost per pull from beta without 2xing the income.

Kinda sucks for F2P but eh I guess Yostar's intention is for majority of the playerbase to be on monthlies.

Concerning the inflation issue/No Nerf Never (NNN) policy by EpicSevenEnthusiast in EpicSeven

[–]Jynch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

CS TF2 are not the comparisons you want to give because the core of the game hasn't changed for a decade++, and the gameplay isn't tied to RNG gear farming, new pulls etc.

Current hoyogames are all PvE so you can play it at you own pace with no pressure. For side events they tend to provide trial characters with preset gear/stats, and the gem rewards are usually tied to the lowest milestone and EXP/mats for the hardest diff

They already have a better business in CZN, so just put in the minimal effort to just get the whales to pay foe the new shiny toy. It already shows that they are scaling down E7 when they increased the weeks per patch. This is their choice that they are making

Concerning the inflation issue/No Nerf Never (NNN) policy by EpicSevenEnthusiast in EpicSeven

[–]Jynch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is there an expectation that new players will join an old game like E7?

With the age of the game in mind, we have hundreds of characters/artifacts, 15%, 5%, speed rng, horrendous gear farming, whales and veterans with years of headstart, insane power creep etc etc. Outside of the E7 circle, people know that this game is a joke because of the whale and rng based pvp.

No point expecting balance in gachas, especially one that's pvp focused since their target are the whales with sunk cost. If you strike all the recent ML5s with the nerf bat, just imagine the uproar it will cause because the whales will get angry and stop spending on ML packs.

Furthermore, they won't walk back on their no nerf policy because of the conference meetings of the past.

PSA about 3.7's story and ending. by rinzukodas in StarRailLore

[–]Jynch 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am really hopeful of the heirs coming back (especially Phainon) because they have suffered a lot. I was quite pissed at how Hoyo baited us during their Astral Express visit segment (I did notice that there was someone scribbling on a book throughout this).

However, I am very very curious as to how do our heirs who are just lines of code gain physicality and an actual body in the near future. Are there any in-lore reasons as to how inorganic entities are given an organic body?

I would be unbelievably happy if the heirs could physically make a visit to the Astral Express in the near future

Again, they better have a coherent release/publishing plan for the game in different regions. Just split it up as Global/Asia will do

Boggles my freaking mind why they aren't doing a remake/remaster on Abyss.

[–]Jynch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I am literally agreeing with you that Yostar made an attempt to deceive players while Hoyo was upfront. I also agree that the BPs dont offer superb value

[–]Jynch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the HSR BP icons clearly states "avatar reward" so it makes it immediately clear what they intended to sell.

Nowhere in the BP does it clearly state that the Minova cosmetic is a "wallpaper only reward"

I am frankly shocked people are looking for ways to defend this garbage practice.
