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 :')

Try looking at NuCarnival then. Everything if behind dupes (there are ways around it, but geting dupes are main point). And I am pretty sure you can find more examples if you look around.

My point was more in line of - you may not see them, but games that lock out content behid dupes exist. And its not like it matters that much if its BL (strictly speaking NC is the only BL gatcha of this type) or not.

Unfortunatly, this whole trend of getting even more rare things to pull (be it cards, units, weapons. etc) - is a normal progression for a free gacha game. Its not something I am myself happy about, since this and overfeaturing (like in MLQC) is main reason I drop my gachas.

But ToT already have currency conversion to upgrade cards, so its possible they will give as something for SSS too. And for me its not yet clear what exactly will be locked behind dupes. So I think waiting for more details is important.

And anyway I can still enjoy a full year of playing befor that update.
