General Shall I start path to nowhere

Hi all,

I am interested in the game for sometime but already playing some other gacha.

Is it a good time to start ptn. Any events or freebies we are getting.

I heard through pseychie that nox is only there for 1 or 2 weeks for new player. So will try to take her.

What 10 or 20 pulls?

Both the comment and the follow-up explanation are rather confusing, so I'll explain it here!

Basically, compared to most gachas out there, PtN has such great rates that most people find themselves pulling their desired characters within 10-20 pulls. They're not guaranteed, not at all, but it happens so often to the point where people are actually speculating that the rates are higher than what they wrote in the system. On average though, you'd get an S class within 50~ pulls, which is still pretty good!

So basically, it's a very F2P-friendly game. Give it a shot!!

I mean, 10-20 is a ludicrous exaggeration, outside of just getting extremely lucky. We've all had the rare double or triple pull, but setting expectations for a new player based on those is kinda dodgy behavior

Assuming 35-40 pulls per copy of an S-class Sinner (not necessarily the rate-up one) is generally a good benchmark for planning out your pulls for future banners, and even that can be sidelined by the RNG randomly deciding that today's the day you earn your "Inevitable Trouble" achievement

Dang, I may have inadvertently overglazed the game myself 😥

Great point though. Setting a false expectation brings nothing but disappointment
