i think there should be another nier automata rerun

[proven widget]

i think it would be good since i see pgr having a rising popularity recently because of the new pc client added and more streamers have started playing it too

I think it'd be more reasonable to allow people who already own nier characters to buy shards for them in pain cage, since featured banners in the gacha R&D are temporary, but you can get shards for any other character you own in PPC.

A re-run would be nice too, of course. But the first one seems easier to implement

Most likely pgr can't rerun nier again because of contractual obligations

[dusk tangle]

not sure if that would apply to PPC shards though. people who got nier during the run will still have them no matter what

[true shuttle]

I think they won't do that in any way because it would set a precedent for future collab events. It would be nice but collabs are supposed to be money sinks (despite there being a generous amount of freebies)

[dusk tangle]

i mean, any collab has a limit of how much it can be done. Kuro can always specify the collab is running one-time only, or that this will be the last time it runs. But that's probably not necessary since it only happens once a year, and probably not even every year at that. I doubt anyone assumes a collab will re-run; they don't even think about that. Just that it's here for the moment, never has been before, and will soon disappear.

The only expectations anyone would have are based on CN, and afaik Kuro's never given guarantee of future Nier re-runs. Kuro can time the appearance of collabs between CN and Global anyhow, to avoid unwanted expectations. For example: not having a second CN run until Global has had its first, etc. Shouldn't be hard since it's once a year at most.

Ordinarily, people can be patient by waiting for PPC shards to come weekly over time, combined with R&D shards as they have the chance of getting dupes via Base R&D, Arrival Construct, and S-rank selectors.
