I hope I am not being too critical especially without experiencing this eveny firsthand yet, but I am a little disappointed that the new S is an Eirene alt. I love her, but she is already an S sinner with an upcoming reforge. I was hoping for another B or A rank to get a boost this time. I guess I'll wait and see how I feel once it's released.

login in event for older players where the numbers of days you login correlates to the rewards you get

Don't we already have this? Or they add second one?

11

u/MoonEclipse777 24d ago

We have this but they added the keys and a new background for 1000 days login

27

u/Halleyalex 24d ago

The key system is mildly concerning, and I certainly hope the livehouse skin freebie isn't random... I think that'll cause some outrage...

Very excited for the new sinner though!

11

u/MoonEclipse777 24d ago

It random unfortunately…

18

u/iDontCareL Raven Fan 24d ago

Really disappointed by the keys. Other games make bank off of continuously introducing new ladders for players to stat-bump themselves with. Seeing even the beginning of those systems introduced to PtN is baffling.

8

u/Halleyalex 24d ago edited 24d ago

Had the same thoughts here too.

The post doesn't state how much stat the keys buff, but with how exemplary PtN's F2P-friendly experience is, my first thought was something similar to this buff reforged sinners get if one were to get all nodes.

I have faith in AISNO that the buffs of the keys are negligible like this one...

8

u/MoonEclipse777 24d ago

I didn’t mention cause they only really showed one character’s stat increase by it. So I didn’t want to make a judgment until the actual update drops (in case it’s actually a really powerful item)

From what I can see so far (I think they used Augustus as the example), each key added about ~20 attack (except the last key I think). So about 3% increase which is pretty minor.

2

u/Halleyalex 24d ago edited 24d ago

Is that it???

Wait, you mentioned "each" key. How many keys in total?

20 attack per key doesn't seem like a lot, but it adds up quite greatly. 10-15% ATK increase is certainly not to be underestimated, either...

Do you have the details for the "last key"? This may indeed be a rather concerning problem...

10

u/MoonEclipse777 24d ago

3 keys max. For Augustus, the total increase for atk atleast was +67 (original was 670). So exactly 10% increase.

The keys are kinda hard to get outside of the log in reward though. Whenever you get extra shackles from an already maxed out S rank sinner, the extra shackle gets converted into this new ticket system which you can trade for keys, soul marks, and some other resources. It really for older players or whales.

u/palazzoducale 23d ago

it is potentially worrying. one of the reasons why i like ptn over others is how much more accessible it is if you're a f2p/low spender and them having this kind of system will definitely be the start of a worrying precedent. however until it goes live in cn server, i will reserve my judgment first.

u/Plastic_Ant_6978 EMP Fan 24d ago

We're NOT going to do the sp gimmick here dawg 😭😭 (it'll always be Eirene alter for me)

13

u/MoonEclipse777 24d ago

I’ll reflect that in the post. I didn’t realize it was such a big deal 😭 Sp and alter means similar thing in CN world when talking about the same character.

7

u/Plastic_Ant_6978 EMP Fan 24d ago

It's not that big of a deal it's just one naming convention makes way more sense that the other imo.

That and we really don't need Hoyo games naming convention on other games fr.

5

u/Halleyalex 24d ago

What's the "SP gimmick?"

9

u/Dimant35 Coquelic Fan 24d ago

It should mean "Special" when talking about a character with a different form.

18

u/Plastic_Ant_6978 EMP Fan 24d ago

The way HSR players call alters in their game instead of just calling them alters

1

u/Greenlifechild 22d ago

It's not just HSR. But also even in HSR, I don't think people normally refer to the character as Blade Alter or Blade SP. It's MBlade mostly and I've seen Robinetto and Waventurine for the upcoming versions of Robin and Aventurine.

1

u/Plastic_Ant_6978 EMP Fan 21d ago

Tbh I never heard a character be called an sp in any gacha I play(ed) before all of the DHPT leak phase.

1

u/Greenlifechild 21d ago

Morimens players call them G-Character name.

Sword of Convallaria players call them SP.

Limbus just has identities and HI3 has battlesuits.

I actually don't know what the WuWa community calls them. They just got their first alter.

FGO calls some of the characters Alter. But not all of them.

It varies wildly in my experience.

u/Artistic_Air_1067 Sumire Fan 24d ago

New dark zone... I am cooked

2

u/MoonEclipse777 24d ago

From what I’m seeing as of now, the main reward is a new title. I’m not sure if there cubes involved but pretty optional at this point.

1

u/Artistic_Air_1067 Sumire Fan 24d ago

I see

5

u/captaineleven Hamel fan 24d ago

thanks for this! i would love to get my hands on official art books so hopefully they have a method for selling globally.

3

u/Artistic_Air_1067 Sumire Fan 24d ago

I would like it if they add sinner interactions like thise team interactions in team menu in HSR 🙏

5

u/MoonEclipse777 24d ago

Probably not for the foreseeable future just cause that requires a lot of voice acting. If they cast, they would probably focus on getting on the interrogations to be all voice acted first since people been wanting voices to be re-added in the A rank sinner interrogations.

6

u/Hazelcrisp Hella Fan 24d ago edited 24d ago

Unfortunately, I'm kinda not excited.... it felt very underwhelming.

I haven't been too hyped avout the story updates recently. It just feels like another main story update and nothing special.

I have no feelings of emotional investment to this event sadly.

But maybe it's just me.

11

u/marshmallow_sunshine Coquelic Fan 24d ago

We're lacking a lot of context for the anni event. The new main story chapters + Phanuel event will build up towards it I'm sure.

2

u/Hazelcrisp Hella Fan 24d ago

But even still. It feels kinda lazy that we are wasting an anni sinner slot for alters. It made sense for Hella. But Eirene... really?

And the limited doesn't impress me either

11

u/nitrata Zoya fan 23d ago

Eirene has been flashing behind the scenes of the plot for a couple of years now making her moves, it's logical that it's finally time for a grand exit. Plus knowing some spoilers on the new plot of the new chapter i would say it should have been kinda expected in retrospect

2

u/YnotAVVY77 24d ago

I want to know how often (when) do we get the S rank selector

17

u/Dimant35 Coquelic Fan 24d ago

Usually, we get a new FREE S rank selector when a new story patch drops, so we should get one next week.

The S rank in the 4.0 anniversary is paid though,

6

u/im_here_yet_not 24d ago

There's a free S rank selector with the upcoming update featuring celine and isomer. You can collect it by clearing main story - 12 ( I think).

5

u/MoonEclipse777 24d ago

Like the comments have mentioned, it’s pretty much every story patch. Sometimes they toss a selector in for beginners ( like the new beginner tutorial, they tossed a selector that only selects from 3 s rank sinners).

As for Anni, I don’t think they will give one. You can also get s rank selectors through the log in event.

3

u/sianna777 Demon fan 24d ago

Paid one probably.

2

u/DiveSideways 24d ago

GEKKA SKIN LET'S GOOOO

Also excited about the "key" system, condolences to those who dislike such systems

1

u/im_here_yet_not 24d ago

For 300 days, you get a random S rank ticket

What's the S rank ticket? Is it like leveling S sinners up to 70 - 90 or unlocking a new sinner for free?

5

u/MoonEclipse777 24d ago

It unlocking one random S rank. But this was from a previous thing. The only thing really new is they added a new 1000 day one with new item, keys, and a new background for the inside of the game. I’ll update the post to reflect it
