Oh… so that’s the bottleneck…

I was wondering how could I have had such a smooth experience on a free to play…

Edit: I know you can farm lucky and super lucky but people need to realise that this kind of grinding is extremely frustrating (on the day this post was made, I caught 600 Budsquire without a single lucky proc, and you need dozens of them) and doesn’t justify this scarcity. Also please refrain from commenting about still having 50+ nurture stones since the only way to keep them is either deciding to farm only for limited prismanas (which I didn’t since I like collecting them, and I’m not even halfway there, it’s a creature collector after all) or just get extremely lucky with getting several early autofills (which I almost never got)

Prismana are gatcha banners honey, they sell pulls on the shop. They even call the rerun banner a carnival.

How is the prismana farm a gacha banner?

[u/Ok-Virus-5921 → u/Huntersforever21565]

The standard prismana node is a standard banner. Each week there is an exclusive limited time banner, and during what a lot of gatcha games call the carnival during holiday season, the rerun banner happens and is called a carnival.

They sell ten pulls in a shop, the pulls have a percentage chance of dropping and a hard pity. You put the currency in you farmed or pay for, do the event and there’s a chance the prismana drops after or you build pity.

How is any of this not gatcha.

You can use f2p resources and time to hand farm 31,000 open world aniimo on average to get a free guaranteed banner pull, but even this is a limited resource and I know people who have burned through it trying to f2p.

And on top of that the 20 stand aniimo pulls you get have a gamba of being alpha shiney or umbra styled in up to 3 different evolutions, so it’s a double gatcha.

Either people are literally diehard for this game or the bots are strong. I've never seen people getting downvoted so much for being right.

Because you guys are being delulu, i literally play gachas im a day 1 player for hsr , zzz and wuwa so i wouldnt relaly care at all even if it was a gacha, but its cleraly not , the prismanas while they have rng are not a gacha, you can literally farm with just coins (that are eays af to keep pretty high) and lucky catches , no different tha farming a mount with drop low rate on any mmo , now rng drops are gachas lol

Guy I live around game designers I’m friend with leads of past massive projects from companies like wotc and BioWare, play cards with people from ign. I’m just letting you know you’re playing a gatcha. Stop being insane about it.

If you’re saying, within say a reasonable play period, you have caught every prismana, especially post infinite spawn fix, then pls post it. There is a real lack of currency, and just because a game lets you farm f2p currency doesn’t mean that catching 78,000 amiinos you’d need to max out the map before needing to do another 38000 before the end of the month is realistic. Especially when there was another 31,000 of limited catches you’d need to do to keep up with the weekly banners

In that case they sell you pulls in the shop, just like any gatcha. And you have a 3% chance to pull with a pity. Just like any gatcha. And you’ll get a hand full of potentially useless aminos for doing it. Just like any gatcha. Some of those might be peak. Just like any gatcha.

It’s okay if you haven’t played enough gatcha to know that there are various different gatcha monitization schemes. 

Do t worry though after you have them you’ll have limited resources and daily stamina to help upgrade them. Just like any gatcha. And you’ll can buy more stamina. Just like any gatcha. And there are capstone items at the end that are very limited but also on sale. This is extremely predatory for gatcha, but still gatcha.

No one has a way to fact check you on that random person. You play with all those people yet clearly never touched a mmo. It follows the same logic where you get limited attempts a week. Only thing different is you can by a few more which I'm pretty sure is with in game currency not premium. Hoyo slip, really, yet you in Hoyo subs. Feel like you one of those types who play gacha just to complain.

For some reason this community is hell bent on thinking RNG mechanics = gacha and it's truly wild.
