#Selling Character as Solution

Its sounds great and awful at the same time.
The great thing they will work as they advertize(looking at you ssania) but it awful because if you miss a banner then you are at the mercy of rng for that char.

Well now to remove the awful part how about we have a selector banner where we can select SSR and SR that will drop from that banner.The rule are here:

1.its only drop selected SSR on SSR pool

2.maximal number pull you can do is 80 or until you got 1 of your picked SSR

3.It can select all unit including L/D and RGB but with the price cost as what unit we choose

4.This banner can be pull with ticket/gem(i see you regular L/D banner)

5.This banner reset once a month

Im asking this since your solution for rengo is new unit....and since getting pull is not a problem in this game im asking this instead.Just do this at this point since you guys already try to sell char for rengo problem

#

I hope this stuff get forwarded to them @deft acorn

Any rate up rerun or selective banner is my only wet dream in this game. willing to spend all my resources just to get a guaranteed lily. I'm tired of relying on just luck to get the character that you want.

#

Even in the other game where premium currencies are such gold (like wuwa, hsr), I still can get all the chars that I want and I need. Only in this game I can't have it lmaoo, the game where gems and summoning tickets are damn plenty compared to others, how ironic 😂😂

tranquil inlet
#

Yea kinda wild

thin grove
#

Same here, only missing lily, hein is break 4 lmao

shrewd fog
#

They won't do it. They want you to spend $$$ to buy the gold pulls on the extra-affinity scam banner to get more money just for you to get Lily. That is also the reason why you can't use gems to direct pull in extra-affinity banner.

The same way they won't change the Lattice income so people spend $$$ to buy Lattice.

The same way they keep releasing new and new server or release to global to milk more $$$ and create new whale for them to be the top of the new server.

At the end of the day, it's just a quick and easy cash grab.

Usually it's people who already have Lily/Yeli/SSania/Rilmocha/Xiada, that screams the loudest of saying, "You don't need X unit to clear a certain content."

While to an extent it might be right,
it is very disingenous and downright hypocrisy if you actually have those units, use them, and then tell others that you don't need X characters.

Even content creators that do F2P clear run use Inferno gear to actually clear Inferno raid with F2P unit. And to this day, I still see no one clearing Sharon Inferno without Lily/Yeli.

So, yeah, not having a certain unit really matters.

lattice economy isn't really something that people are outraging over. most understand its fairly balanced just needs a slight nudge

if these two units

require 12 lattices

New character isn’t a problem. Problem is the lattice investment required for them to work

U watch seanb laugh when he reads about the rengo solution

I can’t help but laugh as well

steady panther
#

IT isn't fairy balanced in a slightest

#

IT causes a lot problems and also constantly threads about resets

prisma schooner
#

I wouldn't mind if they would just give an event once per month which lets us full skill a units skill. 1 SR and 1 SSR. Maybe that's already too much, im not sure.

steady panther
#

People dont want to reset because reset but cry about investing lattices

#

Not info flavour of the month

#

After there would a midseasom patch people will cry for investing LATTICES jnto bruisers

#

And for a good reason

#

People arent upset about the lack of resezts but due to stingy lattice economy you have to only invest into the most op meta unit to compete

#

And this wouldnt solve itself overtimr

#

I have whaled for some characters already but refuse to buy attificial resources to build them

I only whale on lattices now, beyond that the game is chilling

#

I am stuck for sure in the game only because I’m bad not because the game is bad

Realistically the game isn’t doing so well became people can’t handle that they themselves are not good gamers

#

I recognized that I am bad at this game and I spent a lot of money for sure

But I ain’t mad

#

There are a lot more fixed mindset gamers than I realized. If people have growth mindset this game honestly would flourish

but if they double the lattice, i think is good.

@deft acorn i think 1. jack has re-iterated he wanted players to invest lattice wisely alot of times. and hence resetting isn't a solution in the long run. e7 sw has followed this system susccessfully. its a difficult situation when players make the wrong decision, but then again, double edge sword, if everytime a new meta arrives, anyone can just reset, and pump back into the new meta, and you'll see the same teams over and over again. also, from a company's standpoint, its not the same revenue model; theres no weapon banner, dupees for most characters are not even needed. company probably makes the most from lattice packs. 2. people talk about power creep but it's not considered power creep as long as there's mechanics introduced in units. powercreep definition is a similar kit but overloaded by pure stats, as a person who has auto-ed rengo at 100% since the first week of the game, all i did was listen to jack and he said "to use what's available in the game" so the natural progression was doki-> aurora -> and i was the first to use bloodbath gear in rengo. at this point, giving the liliam buffs like this already dumbed down rengo like a toy, so i understand where XD's direction is going with the game. i wanna ask this question C: "the problem at the moment is the lack of unit diversity to create more synergies in pvp(honestly pve can be solved with just ssr units, heck giving lingluo alone for free is something that is considered a premium in other similar games). releasing more units in the current schedule is fine and all, but by the time we reach 100 units; pvp meta is just gonna be extremely stale. has XD considered releasing new shells, more diversified passives in shells, while solving the reconfig chips(like giving it for gvg in rewards) etc. cause more unique shell diversity and passives are the only way to play more unique builds etc"

I realized the skills needed on game like this is module upgrading. I think players like me are not upgrading properly. And we are wasteful

I understand the rng in upgrading substats but it really take discipline to upgrade actually good quality modules

I am gated by good modules rn

reconfig chips im fighting for

but

the rest have definitely been in the thought process

#

u have a really good grasp on the genre damn

earnest swan
#

yes, have they considered new shell? we cant just have new characters

regal otter
#

I would like to see at least a Grace of Growth mechanic, like E7. So you can test out a almost maxed char without leveling it once a month or smth @deft acorn

exotic spruce

And shifting so often

distant lotus
delicate eagle
#

sorry idk what to say, but i ranked 1 in e7,kr,sw the first year of release, in SW where i just pumped "lattice equivalant" to stay relavant in the meta, people who invested in more fool-proof characters, eventually took over. so lesson learnt.

shrewd fog
# subtle yoke yeah not like you cant pull any ld as f2p player?

The argument was that, "You need a certain unit to clear a certain content."

And you just proved my point is correct by saying that you need L/D unit to clear it since you agree that F2P can still pull L/D units.

But once the banner is gone or the said person doesn't play throughout when the unit is released, what's gonna happen then? It's exactly what OP meant in the post.

distant lotus
#

There are only 3 types of team
In PvP , so roughly 15 units to flesh out for PvP

Likely some are overlaps, eventually you will have a solid 15 units to rotate for PvP based on meta

open forge
#

i just keep 8 GL on hand in case a new "broken" unit drops then upgrade my pvp units in increments of 4 every week

exotic spruce
#

I'm farming Rengo in 37-44 sec
This is not a Rengo issue
This is a 3 lattice per week doesn't keep up with new units issue
It takes a month to get enough lattice for one unit and by then the meta has moved on already
They are even looking at a mid season balance patch for goodness sake

#

i dont see myself upgrading pve units ever beacuse all my runs are sub 1 min now so theres no point.

deft acorn
#

they try to be patient so that they dont make a decision too rashly and permanently inflate a part of the resource economy and its a double edged sword

exotic spruce
deft acorn
#

so they just wanna make sure it's still a real problem and not just a short term thing while ppl are at middle stages of the game

if the new unit is good at 1-1-1 for rengo ill use it, otherwise ill pull it and chill

shrewd fog

# deft acorn well

im not so much asking for an immediate solution to reconfig chips, but if u release new shells now, people will rage,, but alot of players dont find the meta fun. and yes, again that's from diversity. in alot of games, each character definition and how to build them comes from either their prowess or "unqiue weapon" which this game doesnt have. at the moment, if you wanna arena, u just go bruiser, gigabyte for healer cycling, jackal on holden, artisan on xyz. the eff accuracy formula and eff resistance formula in this game also idk why is made this way, and severely favors accuracy especially multi hit. so we're left with cc and bruiser meta. 1. it's just my suggestion that if reconfig chips and new shells with more unique passives, that can create more unique builds, passives rather than just def%,speed,final dmg, while at the same time addressing reconfig chips will soft solve the lack of unit roster atm.(and it desperately needs it) that's the only solution at the moment, if we buff every other unit, we might have a whole situation again of the previous patch.

shrewd fog
# open forge Yeah, im pretty sure they will be forced to put a selector banner or growth miss...

That would be great. But the current old targeted banner doesn't even update with the new char. And they don't even have targeted LD banner. It would also be a disaster if Global launch get better treatment with the Targeted banners because they are "new" meanwhile we got nothing.

OP just want a rotating banner. Can be biweekly or even every 7 days. Or even occassional targeted banner event.

This would be neat for both whales and f2p, as whales can target farm prowess dupes, and f2p can target their SSR required

Maybe to sweeten the deal I'd even be happy if people could target a unit to have a higher chance of getting pulled until you pull 1 of said unit.

For example right now it's 1% for SSR on perm banner 0.75% for RGB 0.25% for LD. Now let's say you target Lily it'd become 0.5% chance to pull Lily and the remaining 0.5% would become 0.35% for a random RGB 0.15% LD. shrugR
