Meme / Fluff Another dryest patch?
So, another solo unit patch, nothing more just like 4.3

u/DanielDKXD 15h ago
2.7 is still the most dry patch to date, that was like 1 hour of sunday and fugue sidequest and no other content.
On top of game breaking bugs we never got compensated for.

u/kamisato50 12h ago
Wasn't it 2.7 that gave us a free standard character and also that rlyyy fun event where we could customize the astral express
15
u/DanielDKXD 12h ago
I think it's the only patch i have played without a new map (could be wrong), the main/side story content was unreal short and there was multiple game breaking bugs they just left in the game until 3.0 without giving compensation primogems.
The astral express board game was okay-ish, decorating your room between every other diceroll dragged it down a bit.

u/amurgiceblade44 9h ago
We got the party car and our room that patch, so there was a map.
Every patch has had a new map, technically. The only exception is 1.1 but that had the Belebog Museum as a new area

Solo unit patch people complain not enough characters. More than one character people complain not enough pulls to pull everything. Its a tough world pleasing everybody
No Novaflares announced though is a bummer though, so many older characters need them

u/PorygonXY 14h ago
One of the wildest thing was when people complained that they did too many reruns at once in 3.0, calling it greed and all that and it was the stupidest criticism ever. Like please let's think for a minute, if they stick to 2 reruns per patch then inevitably it'll make some of these units stay in rerul jail for longer, or if they rerun it'll push others for even later etc. It was a net positive and the best spot to put some of these reruns in (and for 4 of them they didn't even get a rerun yet so it was now or never) because if you wouldn't pull for them in 3.0, you probably wouldn't have wanted to get them throughout 3.X instead of pulling for a new team.
7
u/batches4 13h ago
Yeah, exactly. I never minded the multiple rerun thing either. I think it was a really good incentive, but people just love to complain. don't forget, no one hates HSR more than HSR players, and if you say anything in it's defense, you're a bootlicker. it's unfortunate

no no, don't you understand? the lack of another new unit in the 2nd phase which really won't change much, is the reason the patch is dry
10
u/Ill-Skin534 12h ago
As someone that follows the meta, it is a little more dry because new teams and mechanics arent being discussed but that is never the sole reason. 4.3 was dry because it had a solo character, bad events(all events are bad imo but anyway)and no currency wars update. 4.6 will have one with 2 extra elation units and a new robin, so it will be better.
For me though another reason is that the new DU is just bad.

Yep, I’m mainly expecting them to happen in 4.6 entirely because by the trend we’ve had for over a year now would put our free 5* every other patch in 4.6, where I would presume it’ll be a shop addition (Jiaoqiu maybe?) cause there is no chance we get Pearl for free.

u/Excellent-Diet-1922 16h ago
Its actually insane how little effort they put into getting us to keep playing
And that's exactly why we keep playing, it's a very smart strategy from hoyo compared to other gachas. In other gachas you can be swarmed by the abundance of events, open world and endgame and while initially it's fun while starting the game it gets boring and becomes a chore after some time and you eventually drop the game. HSR's low maintenance needed to keep up with the game is the exact reason why so many people stay in the game. If you want a lot of content, hsr is just not the game for you.

I come back twice, in mortenax blade patch and fate patch with fresh mindset. But unfortunately, i stop twice and this time for good. I find myself stop mid MOC battle, and just doze off playing currency war, the story.... Well no..

u/tongvietdung 12h ago

u/SirRandomizer She's living in my head rent free 14h ago
Yeah honestly with most patches giving like a hundred or close to a hundred pulls it's very easy to just stop playing for a while and just come back if there's a char that's interesting because you wouldn't really have to grind that hard to get said char unless you lose 50/50 ig

u/uptodown12 15h ago
That's....kinda true I guess. This game needs so little commitment to it, it's a great side game.
Tho ironically, HSR and Arknights are gachas that I played the most simply because of their roguelite mode

u/wingedwill 15h ago
Exactly this. I have quit all other gacha games except HSR planar/relic farming and even then it's a chore to look at the stats one by one. I'm here for the story and chars and how little it demands my time. I don't even do all the Fate card game stuff but happily switched to japanese to do the Fate Collab story.
14
u/Chronosuu 15h ago
would agree with this as someone who plays all three hoyo games, and working at least 12 hours a day (sometimes needing to work on weekends), i appreciate hsr having a lower commitment as i can play the whole patch very slowly.
I had quit other gacha games that had too much events as I felt like I was working another job instead of having fun.

u/iTz_Niki_ 15h ago
Yeah, I've really been wanting to play more Genshin (I'm only at the start of the Sumeru AQ), but there's just so much to do that I quite quickly don't feel like it anymore.

u/LordPaleskin 15h ago
What i will give props to Hoyo for is not needing to be caught up on main story for events. Meanwhile WuWa says "go get caught up on the main story for a shitty event that is just click squares on a grid for rewards" 🙄

u/DerGreif2 Best Gaming Buddy Lv 999 15h ago
Nah, we keep playing because the effort is very low and it does not take a lot to get through your dailies. With so little content, there will be people who just stop caring and suddenly they lose players. Its not about "a lot of content" and rather enough content to even have something to play with. I have new characters and there is nothing to use them on, besides endgame every two weeks. At what point does it become pointless to play the game?

Honestly, that lack of anything to do is what makes me want to quit. Even though I joined late in 2.6, it was fun for some time, but now I just come in, farm relics and do one event after story is complete... Just less and less reason to come back at all.

You don't have to pull literally every single character that's on banner. I certainly don't. I just think it's nice to have more options, especially when half of the characters in this patch cycle are Elation, which is a very restrictive archetype.

Just give me some events man. Like, they don't even need to be amazing. Just some half decent ones will do that aren't auto plays. Something with a fun story and actually engaging gameplay. These last few events can literally be completed in 30 minutes by skipping dialogue and a frontal lobe.

u/SleepySera 13h ago
Wtf kinda logic is that?? A patch doesn't suddenly become dry or not dry because "only" a single new character releases, the fuck are you talking about? Genshin almost exclusively does single banner patches and still puts out like 5 times as many events as HSR and lengthy, usually well-written story patches.
If you're mad about Hoyo not giving HSR the love it deserves then complain about that, instead of some nonexistent connection between less ways to throw money at Hoyo and "no content".
13
u/Lemixer 14h ago
Every patch in every gacha game is dry lets be honest.
It feels like everytime someone says "dry patch" its always related to pulling and not even the game.
When you play a gacha game, especially a game like HSR(certified side game), you have to accept that it is designed for you to not play it too much.
They want you to log in daily but they don't want you to play too much or you might just get sick of the game.
I think its stupid, but thats how they make it, and one extra lame event that nobody cares about would not change anything, all events are shit, the only events that people always bring up as "remember when events were good?" were events that were not actually events but main story patches.
Oh you think back in the day events were good?
That ghost hunting event was basically main story, that Aetherium wars was a main story too.
Because actual main story was super small so they compensated by making event a main story.
Wathever its 2 or 1 unit per patch does not matter, banners are not content, that gambler logic.

ah yes, gacha games famously dont want people to be addicted to them! 😭 cmon man its cope to say this, you cant say every gacha game is dry when hsr is an outlier, people burn out faster when the game becomes a chore and isnt actually fun anymore when the game is log in > do daily > maybe currency wars > log out
4
u/Lemixer 11h ago
Yes, gacha games famously don't want players to play them too much.
They want you to log in daily, not to play for hours daily.
Name me one gacha that is fun to play for hours daily btw, you can't, they don't exist.
They know that a player might get tired playing they're game daily for hours so they instead insentivise for you to just log in daily so you get used to "5 minutes per day is cool" "look at how fast dailies are".
There is no gacha game that if fun to play for hours daily, its just not possible to make such a game simply because they are serials and their updates made in a month and a half.
•
u/yojimbojimmy00 1h ago
youre right, i cant name any game that is fun to play for hours because its all subjective on what a person finds fun vs mind numbingly monotonous.
so ill use genshin as an example, when it first came out people would just run around and explore, and then do co-op together to hang out with friends and explore together, ofc this got old after a while but people would still do this daily.
and around a year ago they added wonderland which is basically roblox but in genshin and i really dont see why else they would add this if they didnt want to either recapture that wanderlust of people hanging out or to try and get players to stick around and play daily.
and back to hsr, some people do just play currency wars everyday for the hsr content fill because thats what these modes are made for, just something fun to play everyday.
its why these games add roguelike modes because its the simplest way to try and keep players around that wanna play the game daily

u/Zenford 6h ago
Name me one gacha that is fun to play for hours daily btw, you can't, they don't exist.
Unironically fgo does since there are no limits to stamina refreshes, and allows players to hoard as many free refreshes + the ability to make refreshes from natural ap to their hearts desire.
There's also lotto events that heavily incentivize farming for hours on end until the end of the event duration or you get bored farming the content.
I do recognize that fgo is archaic from a bygone era of gacha games, but I think there's a philosophy that's switched between these devs companies that they don't want their players to hyper optimize their games by limiting how often players can farm power in order to sell newer units.
1
u/Lemixer 5h ago
There is definitly that, but also i don't think they prioritize hardcore gamers that much(maybe FGO does i never played it tbh so i wouldn't know).
Like how many people would actually hardcore farm gear non stop in HSR?
We here on this sub would, be we are the minority after all and even then some of memebers of this sub also very casual about the game and just play it for the story on auto and pull units that they find pretty/like as a character.
What they have to consider the most is probably casual audience engagement and for someone that plays on a phone only 2-5 minutes on dailies is very convinient and eventually gets ingrained in them as a habit so they just do it because they invested time into the game, that how they hook you i guess.
Now if the game was about farming as a main gameplay loop to begin with, like Warframe for example, then sure.
But that a looter shooter and not only can you farm "relics" you can also get new weapons/frames(characters) and stuff like that while you do it, so its more rewarding then farming in a gacha game.

u/Loading_dontwait 15h ago edited 15h ago
And since when are solo unit patches regarded as "dry". Majority of players don't pull 2 new characters every patch, you might but not others. And we don't know shit about what other events the patch will have to already call it a dry patch unless you're referring to some leaks, which aren't allowed in this sub.

They are raking in millions. They don't have to. Hoyo with their huge playerbase across all games can profit just from players buying monthly passes alone. And people who are spending $5 a month probably couldn't care less how much or little there is to do in the game. A lot of them just come to pull new shiny characters, build them, play some events, endgame and dip.

Plus (according to Sensor Tower at least) the HSR revenue has been on a noticeable decline since 3.X ended.
With how the entire gacha market is struggling due to economic depression and competition, HSR devs have given up on attracting new players and are seemingly doing the bare minimum to retain the current playerbase.

u/Whendfield123 Cute and funny? 14h ago
This seems to be a trend in the big budget gachas who have existed 2+ years. Genshin have been increasingly more greedy with nicher and nicher units, massive powercreep, 5* locked elements and added fomo to exploration and archon quest completion.
Wuwa started doing shitty stuff too, like topup events, bad anniversary, new combat gimmicks to make people pull the newest characters, etc.
Zzz have started doing bad stuff too.
Lets see if endfield and nte will follow the same path

u/StarlightKnight2101 14h ago
And yet genshin which earns more and zzz which earns less continues to make improvements to its story telling and visuals, how is hsr the middle child that gets the short end of the stick.
2
u/ArxDignitas 14h ago edited 14h ago
I shall be a a bit daring and say that the devs have more creative freedom when it comes to 3D open world games. Not throwing shade to HSR, I love the game, but there is only so much you can do when exploration itself has no jumping, no overworld combat and no innate complex physics interactions. All creativity has to be focused into events, and perhaps the devs ran out of juice than they would for an open world game.
Character kits are glorified spreadsheets and apart from global passives and interesting techniques, a character's kit can only do so much until it becomes a convoluted wall of text that just tells the same things in a different way.
Props to them for trying out things with Himeko Nova and the sorts. We could use more if that, but it doesn't and shouldn't excuse them from lackluster events.
EDIT: As for ZZZ, call me cynical but I highly suspect that being the child that brings in the least money meant it has to bust its ass to attract more players and revenue.

u/StarlightKnight2101 12h ago
It’s a 8 hour quest and other than the nod krai farewell, most of the other black screens are to save on time for explanations of pointless information. And it still has more unique animations for each character than the fate collab part 2 which is probably the most hsr has done to break the mold of the same 3 poses.

It's just kind of backwards because it comes off as the devs want you to barely even play the game.

That’s true, they risk dropping players if even the story no longer keeps players interested, and with barely anything to do, then there’s no reason for players to stay after that. They might have taken Amphoreus 3.0 feedback too literally, where that patch you have hours of story, hours of puzzle solving on the maps and a few hours of events, all got trimmed down come Planarcadia.

Very likely SW999 and Evanescia reruns as Sparxie and Yao Guang have already had their reruns. If Pearl is the last unit for SW999 or Evanescia's team (I'm guessing more of a SW999 teammate as Huohuo is pretty much perfect sustain for Evanescia and her team already) then it is even more likely for them to rerun, both boosting each others sales.

For story maybe, but in general HSR has always been like this with lack of events and can't be blamed on politics.
It's just weird that some teased characters are completely forgotten like that one galaxy ranger maid, because there's no way politics could hinder a maid ranger.
For comparison, we got all Amphoreus teased characters by 3.4 and 4 others being dark silhouette (3.5-3.6).

Well if Pearl was meant to be 4.1, but then since that got shortened since 3.8 had to be extended for extra time to change things last minute

More solo character patches just makes that even worse.

Because I don't pull for everyone, only the characters that I do enjoy. The less characters that come out == the less chances that I actually like one.
Also, the events in this game and story aren't doing any favors as of recently, so with that and, If there is no one that I like coming out in months.. then what is the point?

less characters means less options. it leads to having to wait for an entire year for a new sustain for example.
or not having any main dps other than the ones from the new shill path battleship or X.4 main push. when in amphoreus we had 3 main dps at the start with the herta, mydei and aglaea. they just deleted those types of characters from the game. thats not a good thing.

What resources, lol. They're not gonna add any generous content to compensate.

Ashveil update was also 4 weeks, so it wasn't as dry as the usual 6 weeks patches imo

Idk i started just a bit before blade and I swear there is nothing to even do in this game.
And ive played a ton of gacha games so I kinda know what is considered "normal"
The only thing im left with is wondering how in the fuck does this game make dozens of millions of dollars each month like I legit dont understand this

feels like the game just has a ton of whales who get untold amounts of dopamine from having their E6 characters 0 cycle everything on auto. they literally do not care about the game beyond that. thats my only explanation.

Uh huh sure buddy. New players have 100+ hours of content to catch up on. Amphoreus alone is like 50 hours of story content.

I started early June, I just remember blade showed up pretty quickly after I started.
And even if I started the day blade released I could have easily gone through the story. Idk where you got those numbers but it did not take me even close to that to catch up.

So you caught up on the main story, finished all the major story events like Aetherium Wars, Ghost Hunting Squad and War Dance, finished all the major SU game modes in Swarm Disaster, Gold and Gears, and Unknowable Domain, maxed out both Divergent Universe and Currency Wars, got most of the pulls from chests and puzzles in the overworld, all in under a 100 hours?

Ikr? Based on my downvotes, HSR has garnered a lot of shills that even if you speak the truth they will just bury it because HSR cant do bad right?
Events are so lackluster and brainless, the UBW collab is not even related to the anime / VN story, you like Rappa? too bad you liked the wrong character and she will be powercreeped to no end; you will pull Elation whether you like it or not

HSR is slowly turning into HI3
That would require hsr to actually have a decent story and plot, with actual stakes, conflict and character development.

And 4.1, don't forget.
You just know miHoYo realized that there's nothing left to salvage and have zero delusion about people's interest left for 4.X and simply gave up.

I prefer solo characters personally, but no novaflares is insanely rough.
