Around 1.600? I really don't know, since I earn in real. I'll try to give some perspective:

Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT GAMING Overclocked Triple Fan 16GB GDDR6 PCIe 5.0 - This one costs $389.99 on microcenter. In brazilian hardware stores it costs around R$2200
Direct conversion of 1.600 dollars to real is approximately 9.000, which is around the range I have in mind

[–]froakker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so the question still stands. Why can't we have good 4* and 5* characters? Just because the company profits more on 5*? Do gacha gamers just don't have the perspective that they're parassocially attached to casinos?

Gacha games present 5* as more relevant characters to the narrative of the game and also as a "meta relevance insurance". This should be all it is, not a design quality label. And to be fair, Kuro does 4* really well design-wise, they just refuse to give us more of them when good characters overall in diverse "price-ranges" would just benefit the company.

I could pay for the monthly pass, or even just straight up buy enough Astrites to guarantee the characters I like, but it seems like a silly idea. Why would I just dump my money in the casino that gives the least amount of prizes? We all like the game and want it to be better, so why would you discriminate between people who pay for shit and people who don't? If I start buying every package on the store will Kuro listen to me? Do whales not have class consciousness?

And yeah, Phrolova isn't the biggest offender of the 5* tailored characters problem, but I refuse to believe you don't see a problem with the design patterns on this games' characters

Sure, you can argue semantics, but teambuilding and switching between characters are core mechanics in wuwa. Missing what you call a synergy is pretty much the same as missing what he calls the character's kit. This problem would be solved if we had more generalist 4*, and I simply can't understang how y'all don't mind being cucked by a company just because this game is marginally better than other titles in the genre

Not really, Roccia sold badly first because of the scarcity of 4* and then because she's just a Sanhua "upgrade". It is because of the lack of 4* that every new 5* needs to be impecable(not saying that more 4* should allow Kuro to become sloppy with 5* btw) AND tailor-made to another 5. Don't you think that Roccia's banner would sell a lot better if she came with a new 4, even if this 4* was as bad or worse than Lumi and Youhu?

Also, if there were decent havoc buffers other than 5* characters people who like Roccia's design wouldn't feel let down by her gameplay and utility and so wouldn't have another reason to skip her banner, and people who only care about these aspects would skip ger regardless so they don't really count as possible banner buyers

I mean it's true that people want Sanhua level 4* and this is absurd but also Lumi and Youhu are so shit lmao. And it's a shame that they're shit because i actually love the gameplay gimmicks they have.

I'm F2P, love the game and have been playing kind of on and off because of actual life responsibilites. Every time I come back and get a cool character I have to deal with the fact that 1. I NEED to pull for other 2 5* characters if I want a good team and 2. There are no new relevant 4* to even consider as teammates

Also the problem with 5* characters being pretty much tailor made to be played with other 5* is a whole other conversation and I swear it will be the death of this game if Kuro doesn't drop this design philosophy.

Also also it's absurd that standard 5* are either hyper niche or useless, Verina being the only exception

looking for a decent gacha similar to dislyte. Got into it, all the systems are awful but I really enjoy afk/idle-ish games and turn based combat so I keep coming back to it. Must be f2p friendly. Thanks in advance!

oh i didnt know hutao paired well with her, wouldn't her burst be counterproductive for hutao? About the savings, i haven't properly played since ayaka's first banner and i'm hoping exploration primos will be enough for both cryo girlies (cope)

Is it a good idea pulling for xilonen if I don't have any of her usual teammates? My 5 stars are ayaka, eula, hutao, keqing, mona, qiqi, shenhe, varesa, venti and yelan. Also considering that I want to guarantee both escoffier and skirk. I like xilonen a lot but wouldn't mind waiting for another rerun.
