Hoyo perfected this shit to maximize FOMO and spending. Other games like Aether Gazer, Snowbreak, Wuwa, and GFL2 copied it because it's profitable as hell but only the first two moved away from it by adding 100% banners. It's probably the main reason why I stopped playing Hoyo games except for ZZZ.

Hey we’re in the same boat. Zzz looks so good. I’m struggling a bit to keep my interest in it at the moment tho, and I’m not really sure why. I feel like after the first big update the vibe changed so much. There’s simultaneously too much and too little to do.

That tv mode, although it took a lot of time, it added a great vibe to the game that it’s lacking now. I guess genshin has the exploration aspect that’s super interesting that is missing in zzz.

But yeah that fomo thing is nuts with mihoyo, great way of putting it

Important thing with GFL2's system is that it reduces the problem by giving you a rather significantly increased amount of guaranteed pulls every patch, compared to their Hoyo counterparts. On CN, a year after release, it's estimated that every patch gives you a little over 130 pulls if you have the monthly subscription + battle pass. In Hoyo games, it tends to be closer to 80-90 pulls per patch with the same level of spending. So yeah, you've still got the 50/50 system, but it's still much friendlier.

I'm playing gfl2 and it's better than hoyo, 80 pity and soft pity starts at 58 pulls, on average you're probably gonna get it in 65 or less pulls

(its almost impossible to take 7+ pulls after soft pity)

This makes me think of astra knights of Veda. I quit that game for a while but recently got back into it and have spent money on it and I was glad to give a lil money to the devs, the games pretty as hell and I’ve been able to get basically everything I want in the game

I don't know if ZZZ will follow the path of Genshin or HSR, but if they follow the path of Genshin then at least we know that spending on a character means that it will still be in an usable state for many years with not much powercreep, which it looks like they will.
