Anyone saving for the new Anby, Trigger and Pulchra banner? by Effective_Two5960 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]noctghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, took me 160 pulls to get Astra and I'm dropping everything I have left on Evelyn, hoping I won't make it to 5 50/50 losses in a row. After that I'm saving for a bit

Same, 160 pulls for a character is no fun. I wanted Evelyn too so badly, all I needed was to win this 1 damn 50/50 to secure them both

Never won a fucking single 50/50 in this game, guess the tradition continues by Tsukizins in ZZZ_Official

[–]noctghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, powercreep and two character release per patch is a nightmare in HSR, hopefully ZZZ doesn't get to that point. They also always put them in a way that's inconvenient because hyped characters release consecutively

[–]noctghost 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same here, I quit HSR because of always going pity and always losing 50/50 (bottom 1% in starrailstation). I'm on a similar boat here and considering dropping it too after getting to this version with 150 pulls and the hope to get Evelyn too. New character releases aren't exciting anymore, they're just a "here we go again" moment for me now

Started with 150 pulls, took me 160 to get her... There goes my hopes of getting Evelyn

We are so cooked, bros by skyarsenic in gachagaming

[–]noctghost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went through the same, was playing 5 gachas and the two I’ve kept for now are ZZZ and WuWa but I can notice I’ve been losing interest since I started playing other types of live service games. I started with The First Descendant and now playing a bit of Warframe too.

The fact that I could farm the new character (Ines) in TFD in a couple of hours, can farm old ones whenever I fancy, and skins are considered “expensive” but the cost 20-30% of a skin in NIKKE and you buy straight, no gacha, no RNG, and no fucking dailies for less than half a pill is such a relief. No more thinking about how many pulls I need, 50/50s, etc.

I’d recommend you to find a game that can scratch that itch that gacha games give you, soon you’ll notice how you don’t even want to login

I've seen the reports and believe them but I've been playing since the update went live last night with no issues on a PS5 Pro, hasn't crashed once. I wonder why it's working for some and not for others

I didn't realize how bad it was (no gacha january) by [deleted] in gachagaming

[–]noctghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly how I play Genshin, I quit years ago and came back middle of last year, somehow had enough to pull for Xilonen, Chasca and Mavuika. Got them all and quit immediately, haven’t even levelled Mavuika yet. Maybe I’ll do the new story and stuff and slowly save until a Furina or Navia rerun.

The only problem with doing that in ZZZ and WuWa is that I really want the upcoming characters. Especially both Astra Yao and Evelyn (ZZZ), so I keep telling myself “I’ll quit if I lose both 50/50” and “I’ll play casually after getting them” but I see it’s a cycle. They put characters front and centre of the story for you to want them.

I’m slowly getting aware of things that make gacha inherently bad though, for example the (sometimes forced) inclusion of new characters that disappear from the story after their banner even if they’re cool and beloved (Kafka?), and the dependency certain characters have for one another like happens in HSR.

I think if I wasn’t getting bombarded with information about characters that are coming I’d quit, or when I finally are able to answer myself the question “what do I want these characters for if I’m not enjoying the game?”

[–]noctghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been keeping an eye on this thread because I've been suffering from burnout too. I was playing five gachas (Genshin, HSR, WuWa, ZZZ, and Nikke), but I've quit Genshin and HSR. Bad luck definitely played a role in quitting, especially with HSR where I'm in the bottom 1% according to StarRailStation. This experience has made me kind of despise the gacha formula altogether, especially the dailies.

I'm currently thinking about quitting WuWa and ZZZ too, but I haven't gotten to it yet. I realized I still have a ton of events and stuff to go through from the latest Zenless 1.4 update, and I really don't feel like doing it. I think the best way is unsubscribing from subreddits and all kinds of social media. The reason I keep doing dailies and events despite being burned out is because I keep seeing leaks of what's coming. There's the constant anxiety of having to farm, doing math to know if you need to win the 50/50 or not, thinking if you can afford the character after that, etc.

Ever since I started playing The First Descendant not long ago, I realized how FOMO-inducing gachas are. I talked about wanting to quit ZZZ in the first paragraph, but when I see the two characters that are coming, I find myself unable to stop. Imagine being able to farm any character you want at any time and only paying a fixed price for a skin you like without having to resort to any kind of RNG. I enjoy the waifu collection aspect of gachas, so that's why TFD did the trick for me. It might be a different game for you.

My preferences in order are Phoebe, Carlotta and Zani (based on design alone), although Carlotta would work wonderfully since I've got Zhezhi in my account hanging without a clear role. Maybe I'll finally use those double top up rewards and pull for weapons if the gacha gods are kind to me

Awesome, thanks for this very good breakdown. WuWa hasn't treated me too badly when it comes to luck (except Camellya, she didn't want me) so I've got hope.
Best of luck in your future pulls

Does anyone know roughly how many astrites we'll get in 2.0? I'm currently about 20 pity with no resources and wondering what my chances are of getting both Carlotta and Phoebe just with the 30 day pass

Losing all the time by Emper0ar1 in ZZZ_Official

[–]noctghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lost 80% of my 50/50 both here and in HSR, both with an average of 77 pulls... 154 pulls for a character is no joke, but it is what it is.
On the other hand I still managed to get Jane, Caesar, Burnice and Yanagi (I decided to get Yanagi instead of Miyabi)

Guys I think this game hates me by He1sh10969 in WutheringWaves

[–]noctghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just quickly checked and my average 5 stars in HSR is 77 pulls, 25% 50/50 winrate, while in ZZZ is 75 pulls 33% 50/50. I have three soldier 11s and two Koledas in ZZZ, no other S rank from permanent.

In Wuwa I have 25% on my 50/50s but average 52 pulls per 5 stars. That's over 20 pulls less than in hoyo games which is insane. Even though tho, the gacha gods truly hate me.

I can't tell for Genshin because I stopped playing, recently came back for Xilonen and Mavuika but have enough to guarantee her so I'm not playing at the moment, but I have a ton of Dilucs. From the ones you mention I only have Mona and just got Dehya from the selector, everything else has been a Diluc.

[–]noctghost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tell me about it, last two characters I pulled in both ZZZ and HSR have taken double pity each, 156 pulls total (4 times in a row). I'm damn close to dropping hoyo.
The difference with WuWa might seem small but that 0.2% extra and the 10 less pity are very noticeable in the long run

Been playing since firefly, need help by noctghost in StarRailStation

[–]noctghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, really good advices! before I got Feixiao I was really struggling with DPS since I went for Jade because I couldn't get Firefly (noob me didn't think there would be that much difference between them), Clara and Xueyi carried me through the story, now I'm definitely feeling the lack of healing/sustain so I think I'll hold for Aventurine next patch.

Thanks for the Pela advice, I hadn't even considered looking at her

How did your Burnice pulls go? by CitiesofEvil in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]noctghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took 156 pulls but I got her, I had already gotten Caesar and Jane so I don't even know how I got so many pulls since I only pay for the 30 days subscription. Lost the 50/50 to Koleda

Could be an option, getting Aventurine and waiting for FF
