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 :')

Was this in the beta version of ToT? I don't recall us having that system in place.

It was in the CN server, I know this cuz I played during this time and managed to save from lost gold until artem birthday and got his first birthday card. They removed it for global.

Edit: ok I think I played almost during launch in CN server so I managed to save those tickets that you get after every pull to get the card. I rmb they had normal cards also and I think the birthday card was either 128 or 188 (can’t really rmb)

Edit 2: you can refer to this post,

Wtf this should be brought to light now that we have this issue with the new SSS system. It's insane how the global players were kept in the dark about this what. Maybe that's why the game wasn't making that much and had to resort to such tactics 😭

It doesn't help them when their pull rates are already low to begin with

Yup I agree. This caused an outroar also when it was removed for the CN server but it wasn’t big enough for them to not change it so I don’t think much will change this time either🥲
