r/gachagaming

For me, Genshin has a lot of 'playerbase can't read', which I see sometimes in the fandom but also that I've also done myself where I'm reading lore or character kits and my eyes glaze over a little.

I've also heard some things from other series like the Blue Archive's associations with "Uouhhhh" kind of playerbase, Reverse 1999's 'don't talk about Brazil' and 'doomed yuri', Umamusume 'umapyoing the horses', yuri ice skate kiss, and being a gateway to actual horse racing, but I'm interested in knowing what kind of community jokes have spread around for the numerous gacha games.

As a player that normally likes to reroll at the start of gacha games, this game might have the most abnormal pull script i've ever seen in a gacha game, im not even sure if this is legal. If you guys can give me some feedback that refutes what im saying go ahead, im open to every explanation possible for what has been happening in these past 400 rerolls (yes, that many, I normally use 6 instances)

So let me tell you everything I've encountered in these rerolls and why it's extremely shady:

-First multi after the multi on the tutorial is a guaranteed SSR and I don't know why (don't know if is specified somewhere that we should get a SSR in the first multi in every new acc)

-That first SSR only has a pull between only three characters -Caeser, Prosciutto and Cioccolata (again I don't think this info is anywhere)

-In the next three standard banner multis, one more SSR is guaranteed, this time the whole pull of SSRs is available

-In the next 3/4 multis after those 3, you are able to get another SSR guaranteed (this one is more difficult to test because because the max standard banner pulls i had in each reroll varied between 80 and 90 so im not too sure)

-In these 80 (not to certain after that point) you can't get more than 3 SSRs at all. Double SSR multi simply don't exist, at all. The weirdest this here is that im almost certain that the first account that i created in the game 10min after the game launched, was able to get a double SSR on the 2nd or 3rd multi on the standard banner.

-Now for the final and worst of them all, the Jotaro banner. Even tho this is a non standard banner it has a script too. A lot of people including me have reported the same thing. In the first 20 pulls on that banner you simply can't get a SSR. On the 21st or 22nd pull you are able to but before that it literally cant happen. And thats the part that i dont know if its legal. How is a banner where majority of people are paying to pull from, doesnt let the player get the highest rarity for the first 20 pulls?

As i said before, if you guys have had any type of experience similar to mine or simply if someone has a factual explanation to what is happening, comment down below because i would love to understand whats happening.

Oh btw, why doesn't the game have a official reddit or discord where we would be able to address this type of situation with the devs? (Its my first gacha where it simply doest have either of the two)

Edit: i think i found out why that first account got a double SSR in a multi. When i was in the first account the final number of tickets was something like 45 so i decided to make five single pulls first before going to the multis and didn't get anything. If what i think is correct, those 10 pulls after the tutorial multi have a 10% chance each of having that first guaranteed SSR and i didnt get it in the first 5. After those single pulls i did a multi and thats when i got the only double SSR in 400 rerolls and thats because i got the guaranteed SSR in the first 10 pulls and the guaranteed SSR in the 30 pulls after that one. This might be the explanation for it because after that reroll i never did the single pulls first

Its (currently) hosted on github pages over at https://stereotypicalcat.github.io/gacha-event-tracker/ .

It tracks events with their expiry date, and lets you plan and keep track of daily events as well :)

Its a bit of an AI-SLOP application, but I find it useful myself and wanted to share :D Ill try to update it with more features and games with time, but id love to hear feedback.

EDIT: Updates since this post was first done

• Twelve more games, eighteen total. Arknights, Reverse: 1999, Blue Archive, Fate/Grand Order, Persona 5: The Phantom X, Infinity Nikki, hololive Dreams, Girls' Frontline 2, Stella Sora, Chaos Zero Nightmare, Umamusume and Nikke joined Genshin, HSR, ZZZ, WuWa, Endfield and NTE.
  • I'm still working on a few more games, but I'm running into troubles with eg. Azur Lane, whos only big data source has a "no thanks" in their robots.txt.
• You can add your own games and events. Name it, pick a colour, type the dates — for anything no scraper covers. It saves and exports with the rest of your progress.
• The default view is the next three deadlines, not the whole list.
• The long lists are capped at six rows per section with a "show all" if you want them.
• The Calendar is now the Timeline, and it's a proper board: zoom from a day to a quarter, game names and the date axis stay pinned while the bars scroll, and you can stack by game or throw every game into one deadline queue.
• It uses a wide screen now — deadlines pinned beside the lists instead of one long column.
• Light theme, next to the region setting.
• Countdowns use each game's own reset time, so "ends in 4h" means your server, not UTC.
• The footer tells you how old the data is, and names any game that's lagging.
• Two issue forms for requesting a game or reporting a wrong date.

Thanks to everyone who commented :D  the three-deadlines view, the game focus, the custom games and half this list came straight out of this thread. Now its time for me to take a break, and go complete some Gacha events myself!

After almost 2 years a teaser has finally been released. Link to the YouTube video: https://youtu.be/t\_SsyjL1pWw?si=XPE8T8xev202Dq2w

EDIT

Added their official website though for me it's not working/loading and there is an Korean forum Arca for this game, I don't know if there is any other places like naver etc if I find anything I'll added those links too.

A free-to-play action RPG where you explore iconic planets like Coruscant, Tatooine, Naboo, Kashyyyk, and Mustafar, with new planets and regions added through major updates.

You build a team from a huge roster of characters: Jedi, Sith, bounty hunters, clones, smugglers, and droids. Different versions of iconic characters could exist depending on the era , Clone Wars Anakin, Jedi Master Luke, Darth Vader, Ahsoka, Maul, and many more.

You’d have your own ship acting as a hub, travel between planets, follow an original story, complete quests, fight bosses, explore cities and wilderness, and collect new characters and weapons.
Basically: Star Wars × Genshin Impact × Zenless Zone Zero.

Star Wars already has decades of characters, planets, factions, weapons, and stories. It’s almost perfectly designed for a constantly expanding live-service RPG.
So… why doesn’t this game exist yet?

I have heard a few reasons as to why Stamina is a main feature in most Gacha games. To slow down progression and make people log back in a few times a day, prevent addiction in people who may spend 16 hours a day on the game, and prevent people from finishing the game in like 1 day.

I think those first two excuses are just BS and the last excuse is completely irrelevant. The Energy/Stamina mechanic is just a way for games to limit how bad their game is by limiting how much you see in a day. Because if you had access to the entire game all at once, you would realize halfway through that most of these gacha games stories are so similar that you could give a description of one game and people would confuse it for another.

Gacha games are inherently addicting, thats the entire business practice of using Gacha in the first place, to make people want to gamble and spin the wheel until they hit gold.

90% of gacha game players don't actually listen or care about the story, and the game creators know that, which is why the story is usually bad to begin with. Slowing down progression almost never works. Big spenders are going to get the energy back, and even small spenders will have the magical Battle Pass-esque shop item that gives an extra % of energy every day.

Energy systems are just a way for the games to milk money from people. Lets honestly call Gacha games what they really are, Subscription based games.
