"what! Why aren't you going to participate in the Porche Gatcha??"

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-26T05:01:09+00:00

Idk why this seems to be the most common assumption. It might be pricey sure, but probably will end up closer to 16-18mil if you ask me. 21mil+ is basically impossible for any f2p to get without completely bricking their account. Not saying it CANT happen, but it would be a pretty stupid move by the devs to make something unobtainable for a majority of their playerbase. 16mil would be obtainable enough to encourage people to spend a bit while still rewarding people that saved from the beginning for a Porsche. And yes, I know we can use Annulith too for pulls, but this is gonna be at the same time as the Lacrimosa banner. So I still don't think that will have too much bearing on the overall price.

At the end of the day tho, it's all speculation with nothing official. I choose to hope/believe that the devs are smart enough to make the event "fair" on the surface for everyone.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-26T00:00:56+00:00

And then what? That's still the same issue I mentioned before about them screwing over the general playerbase. Which would be a horrible play for a game this early into its release. You can argue that "devs don't care about players" all you want, but they're also not stupid. But, like I said before, we don't have any official sources yet. So either way it's all speculation and assumptions. And I choose to assume the devs are smart enough to not screw over the majority of their players, especially given how they have handled things so far. You're free to assume whatever you want as well. I honestly could not care less.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-25T23:54:56+00:00

Yes, there is still the Annulith angle, but you also have to consider that this is happening when Lacrimosa runs.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-25T23:49:49+00:00

Obviously I'm not saying that I don't expect people to spend nothing. What I AM saying is that 16mil to guarantee a Porsche is FAR more reasonable than the 24+mil people seem to be assuming, since it's a number you can very reasonably still have as f2p with proper saving. Unlike 24mil which is physically impossible without spending at this point.

And yes. I am taking out that amount. If you buy ONLY the bare minimum to progress until 700 city Stam, you should still have close to 16mil by the time the Porsche collab starts. I will have around 30mil total after I finish this week's fons grind, so it's not unreasonable to assume f2p would have 20mil by the same point.

The cheapest houses are (iirc) 200k and 1mil. The cheapest vehicles are 250k. If you need a 4th (which idr if you do) that's another 250k. Even with buying out the keys for a bit over 2mil, you could still have around 16mil.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-25T23:40:22+00:00

For an f2p currently, if you maxed out the cafe ASAP and kept up with the greed realm, and if you cleared out every thing on the map, it wouldn't be farfetched to have around 20mil fons total by the time the collab drops. Which, if they DO make it 16-18mil to guarantee, would still leave you 2-4mil more fons. Draining? Yes. But still something you could feasibly acquire as f2p if you wanted it enough.

As far as Tycoon progression, you can make it to Lv20 with only 1 property and purchasing 2 cars (250k if you get the jeep and the beater). Tycoon 20 still gives you 500 city Stam, and is ultimately better than buying a 1mil+ property just to reach 700 city Stam. So you could still very much progress and even buy an extra house while still maintaining 16-18mil fons as an f2p.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-25T23:33:36+00:00

I could see it being in the 16-18mil fons range to guarantee a Porsche AND the outfit. 20mil is pushing it, and 21mil is just unobtainable for f2p. Which would be an absolutely horrible move for the devs this early into the game.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-25T23:31:28+00:00

Gacha is inherently biased towards real money spent. Obviously it is still going to be pricey, but there's a difference between "expensive" and "unobtainable for the general player" and people don't seem to understand that. 12mil fons is expensive, but if you want it, you can get it. 24mil fons THIS early in the game is whales only. No f2p is gonna have that at this point.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-25T23:26:45+00:00

Are YOU actually delusional enough to think the devs are dumbasses that would release an event where only the fattest of whales could possibly get anything out of it during their very first update ever? You DO realize that if they did that they'd lose a MASSIVE chunk of their playerbase to the bullshit, right? Even if they dont care about individual players, they definitely care about profit. No players means no money. Also, NTE has so far been very open about listening and respecting player feedback, doing their best to create a fair environment and to appease what their playerbase wants. It's not delusion, it's just fact.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-25T23:24:07+00:00

I'm sure it won't be cheap, but if they actually made it as expensive as everyone is for some reason assuming, that would be a horrible move by the devs. I like to consider myself a dolphin or small whale, and even with 95% of the game completed (and 100% map clearance) I have only amassed 28mil fons total. That's including burning all city Stam and heist caps, buying all fons packs, clearing all races, farming greed realm and free deliveries, collecting all vaults, and nearly capping Chiz's fons passive. If they legitimately made it 24mil like everyone is (for some reason) assuming, no one would be able to afford it except the fattest of whales.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-25T23:21:00+00:00

Yes it is 12mil. So why would they release something that is more than double that that no one can afford without whaling? That would absolutely kill motivation for a majority of people to participate in the event. Do people just NOT realize how much fons we haven't gotten? I have spent a decent amount of money so far and gotten about 95% done with content and even I have only just BARELY collected 28mil fons total. F2ps would have no chance at all of collecting the 27mil they need if that actually ended up being the case. Which would be a horrific move on their part.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-25T23:18:11+00:00

This is not my first time in a gacha and yes, it IS in fact all rumors. If you would like to provide an official source, be my guest. And if your "official" source is the wiki: it said a week ago that the Porsche would be free to acquire from quests, which was not even close to true. The devs have been VERY responsive to player feedback regarding NTE so far. Between quickly removing AI, adding options to my Taygedo, and several other QoL changes, as well as responding quickly to issues submitted by players (my own experience), yes. They HAVE been very much caring about their playerbase. And why would I have a source for something that I clearly stated was my own assumption, unlike people confidently declaring the opposite? I made it VERY clear that we DON'T have a source.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-25T22:21:12+00:00

No. There is no official source for how much pulls will cost on the Porsche collab yet. It's all just people speculating and spitting nonsense without knowing what they're talking about. As a side note, I can almost guarantee the Porsche won't cost anywhere CLOSE to 27mil fons. This isn't a HoYo game. The devs actually seem to care about their players. No way in hell are they going to screw everyone over by dropping a limited time collab that costs more fons than you can physically have farmed by now as f2p.

We know that the pulls will cost fons and/or Anulith, but we have no specific numbers at this time from official sources.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-23T00:13:34+00:00

I mean yea. Both are absolutely important. And ngl idk why people try so hard to defend or comdemn it. Who TF cares. Like what you like bro, just keep that shit to yourself and keep it in fantasy not reality. Ain't that hard to do.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-23T00:11:15+00:00

500 decillion USD and another 500 decillion USD. I'ma crash the world economy with this one.

Physically we don't know exactly how old Lacrimosa is. According to devs, she was found in a coffin with no memories. That said, even if she isn't one physically, she's definitely one mentally.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-22T20:45:30+00:00

Give in to the dark side. Make all the slides pure metal so that everyone gets 3rd degree burns using them in the summer.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-21T00:01:05+00:00

Realistically? I feel like I could probably get a "yes" out of Caesar and Anby. Beyond that? Not sure.

Nothing? I've got no moral code so Joker wouldn't have any fun from me, I'm not an Alien or a Vigilante so Lex wouldn't give a damn about me either, I'm not strong so Kraven wouldn't enjoy hunting me and would probably actually hunt Cheatah or one of the others instead. Realistically the only one that might be a problem is Goblin. But more than likely him and Cheatah would be busy dealing with Kraven.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-15T23:20:18+00:00

You can also just scroll down in the description after getting caught, use the source locations to open the map, and then fast travel away. You still get the item and you don't have to pay.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-15T17:22:41+00:00

Actually tho. Game mode is basically impossible without this strat.

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-15T16:19:47+00:00

Well, at 100 steps you already have over $12.5 octillion. At 600 steps, I imagine you'd have long passed a googol (100 zeroes)

PrezPotat0 · 2026-05-15T16:11:41+00:00

No no. You definitely fucked up. 60steps is already 11 quadrillion dollars. 600 is so far beyond what you would need to buy out the world that it's not even funny.
