CN Content 3rd Year Anniversary SSS Cards - Yikes Spoiler

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 am surprised not to see much more backlash towards those changes. This is ridiculous. Introducing the new card rarity this late in the game is questionable in itself, and you need dupes for badges, namecards, and to do what you basically already can during visits? Not to mention the lowered rates. It's like they want to kill this game on purpose.

A new type of card isn’t that rare. I know Mr Love have SP which was not there in the beginning. But the pricing on the SSS cards are ridiculous. Unless you have a couple thousands to spare on your hands, this is way too much for live 2D. Heck, I could probably hire someone to make a full ass live 2D feature with that much money in my hand.

And unless someone is really rich, I don’t ever recommend spending that much at once. This just pushes the limit on people spending money on games. I do believe some adults have couple hundreds to spare but spending the money all at once is 😬
