Looks like a native PS5 version might be coming:

I thought the PS5 updated the game when the PS5 dropped? You mean they can actually pump out more greatness out of it?

Hey fool, I need answers.

Nah man, it is limited release already. Which is whatever to me personally but we're getting updates every 5 weeks and when they do big dumps like this it typically lasts 3 weeks then there's 2 weeks of dead space.

It would be better if they spread this out for the entire 5 weeks. Then on top of all this, we're getting 3 character banners (Xiao, Keqing, and Hu Tao) and two weapon banners (the Jade one, then Staff Of Homa/Wolf's Gravestone).

Fred.

Yeah, I know. I'm saying we don't need them to be limited, lol. Or at least, more content dumps at once that last longer, even while others pile in. I say that to say this, at times, I sometimes feel overwhelmed with what content to do. But that all goes back to there being time limits on everything and most of them are too short.

Enjoying it so far..

These past few events got me sitting at 5000 gems now
Kinda want to roll for Xiao, but I think I'll hold off for Hu Tao.

Hey fool, I need answers.

we are playing the PS4 version in backwards compatibility via the PS5. The improvements it has in comparison to running the game on a PS4 and PS4 Pro are hardware based. Like the 60fps and better loading times are being brute forced by the hardware. A native PS5 version would be better.

Slowly leveling up my Diluc. Next I’ll focus on Zhongli & Xiao.

I’ve been had Keqing for a while now so I’ll probably save up my gems and wait for the banner after that.

 

[Marci-Senpai]

Playing with a ps4 controller on my iPad Air feels so good at 60fps

I already have Keqing, so I’m going to skip her banner. Hu Tao didn’t look that appealing to me (reminded me of Xiangling) so I think I’m going to skip her banner as well.

I’m thinking to pull on the weapon banner to get the Jade Spear for Xiao. Wort comes to worst I’ll get the Jade sword instead and apparently it works nicely with Keqing from the calculations I’ve seen

decisions, decisions

Keep in mind the next weapon banner is like a week away and has the Staff Of Homa (HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 0.8% of the wielder's Max HP. When the wielder's HP is less than 50%, this ATK Bonus is increased by an additional 1% of Max HP) and Wolf's Gravestone.

I'm rolling on that one.

Aite brehs, so less than a full day's time left before the Xio banner is gone and I haven't gotten him yet. I got over 200 bucks in PSN credit just setting in my account and I'm teetering back n forth on whether I should just buy the 50 bucks of genesis crystals or 99 bucks worth. I'm at about 50 pulls on the banner, so I theoretically should only need 40 to reach pity and hopefully just got Xiao by then, if not before. I read that the first time you buy the crystals pack, you get that same amount of crystals as an additional bonus. That true?

yes, it's true.

 

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

yes, it's true.

I did the math and the 50 buck joint will get me 41 pulls then and the 99 pack will get me 81. So I'd definitely hit pity with the 50, but the 81 pulls could make sure just in case I don't get him by then that I'm closing in on another pity. I'd hate to not get him on the first round of pity tho.

Ended up copping the 50 buck crystal pack, as I told myself that a while back that's probably would I'd end up doing when Xiao became a banner since that'd be like paying for the game at full price once and fortunately enough, on my 3rd 10-pull, I got Xiao! I also already have that 5* star Jade Spear sitting on Zhong-li wasting space. Bout to take that from him and put it on Xio and level him up.

So 180 rolls is guaranteed 5star banner character? Not sure on how the pity system works once it gets to that point.

I'm addicted to this dungeon defender like game as part of the latern festival.

Yes. first 5* pull is a 50/50 chance, the one after is guaranteed banner character.

90 is hard pity, but reddit has ran the numbers and a “soft” pity system seems to kick into place around pull 75 as most people recorded getting 5* between pulls 75-80. Law of averages says you should be having the banner character within 160 pulls if you lose the 50/50. Worst comes to worst it’s guaranteed at 180 pulls

Technically, yeah. So every 90 you're guaranteed to get a 5*on any banner. Thing is, you still have 50% chance of getting any 5* item or character. At 180, you are guaranteed to get the character banner tho, if you didn't get them on the first 90 pull pity.
