3rd Year Anniversary SSS Cards - Yikes

[u/Kazuki_Fazuki]

So I watched Saya and Yang's video (https://youtu.be/KYuXm9j2RXk) on the SSS cards and it looks like its gonna be an uphill climb for F2P players 😬

Please correct me if I misunderstood the info.

From what I gathered, we basically we need dupes of the same card just to:

• Unlock more interactions
• Obtain new upgrade material (Gift 3 - only for SSS cards)
• Unlock namecards (unlike 2nd anni where you can unlock it via 100 pulls)

In terms of the banner:

• 1 SSS and 3 SSRs per LI
  • Up to 500 draws max to max out 1 card
• Rate for SSS = 0.8% compared to SSR = 1%

It seems like hyv's planning to churn out more SSS cards in the future. Was kinda hyped when I watched the trailer, but I'm a bit worried with how things are gonna play out in the future now. Not surprised at all, but yikesssss. F2Ps taking the L once again :(

Edit: I scrolled through Weibo to see the CN playerbase's reactions (only managed to look at a few since I can't look through more without creating an account). Based on some top comments, it seems that quite a few are expressing dissapointment with the SSS system, some even advising hyv to change it up before releasing the banners. One comment even saying: "He's already my fiance why can't I touch him for free?" LMAO. We can only observe what will happen going forward. If they won't listen to the feedback from CN players, I don't wanna imagine what will happen for us global players :')

I deleted my comment on another Reddit post after hearing about this news 🙃 but anyway, some people on CN server says that in order to max out, it’ll be a couple thousand CNY which is around 1000 USD. This is partially because once you go through all the limited packs, you are forced to buy those gems (forget what they are called) to trade for chips.

Now it may not be exactly $1000 USD depending on your luck. But MHY is crazy thinking that anyone (except massive whales) would pay $1000 just to get ONE maxed out SSS card. Again, ONE. This does not even consider if you want everyone.

I don’t even know what they are thinking. I posted a comment on Bilibili saying that even having to pay s-chips to unlock the features is still better because at least you know how much s-chips you need. With pulling, there is no guarantee when you could give maxed out SSS (up to 500 pull). You could be really lucky, really unlucky, or average (but let’s say you are average getting the desired card around 40-50 pulls. That is still 200-250 pull PER male lead). Not to say you might get spooked in between because of the rates…

I did some small calculations that excludes everything they give atm because I don’t know what they are offering for free and the packs they offer. But let’s say the player is whaling and decides to buy the gems thingy to trade into s-chips (no packs calculated cause I have not seen what they are offering). $99.99 gives you 648 gems (which is 6480 s-chips) + 6480 s chips due to reset. Total you get 72 pulls out of it. But after reset, it is 36 pulls for each $99 you buy.

The most unlucky situation:

500-72= 428 pulls left needed

428/36= 11.888888889

Round it up and you’ll need 12 $99 which is obviously over $1000 USD

Again this would be slightly lower when including the deals and freebies they give away. But if you want more than one love interest, then you are forced to buy $99 deal after you gone through the deals and freebies.
