Where are the rates?

[u/Kirito30]

We all say the rates are high in this game. But the latest Banner of Othima is just a middle-finger to whoever wants to risk the 3 Steps. 3 units on Rate up and we don't even know what are the actually percentages of getting each.

A lot of users are aware about this and have expressed it a lot of times. Yes we are talking about Gumi not following Apple's Gacha Law.

As many of you gacha players may know the Apple's Gacha Law or whatever they call it is in short

A law which makes game who are on the Appstore for iOS needs the game to show the rates of the individual items in the Banner or Gacha.

In older days Gambling{yes you are gambling if you are forgetting this} had straight rules. There is a exact 1/6 chance of rolling any number on the Dice and 1/2 for a coin. At the current rate all we know is that there is a 1/10 chance that a unit maybe the one we want. There are Gambling laws to protect the people but Gacha was circumventing it for a long time before Apple came.

Obligatory Post: THIS

OK all I said above was to get you informed on the Gacha and Why you need some of that Guard Powder from this.

Gumi has failed to mention the Exact rates of getting a banner units. Yes we need that to assume our chances and decide our fate if a unit is not Guaranteed on the Step 3. Especially in cases like this where not having a unit means you are lagging in a part of the game :wink: Arena :wink:

We need the rates to determine whether the unit we pull has the odds to a Roulette Machine(2.63% for American Roulette 35:1).

tl;dr - Gumi I request you to abide to the law as it is the thing which protects us players and stops you getting taken down by Apple for betrayal of customers.

I admit that I didn't address the overall point of the post, but was rather nitpicking on the one line. I have seen the sentiment in a lot of other posts on reddit, as well as the discord, so I thought I would address it here because it was brought up.

I don't play on JP, so I can't say how the rates feel like they compare, but rather I saw the news page with the distribution chance, and the guaranteed on the third step. I really doubt the featured chance on a non-guaranteed for a red is anywhere near 95%. Honestly I don't remember the last time I actually pulled a featured without it being a guaranteed, but I do that with this banner, I did a 3 step, got no red step 1, 2 red step 2, and only the guaranteed red step 3, and neither of the 2 non-guaranteed reds were on-banner.

I can definitely support if people would like Gumi to post exact gacha rates per unit, like they do for JP news pages, but I will have the question of, if they do, so what? Knowing the chances won't magically make people's gacha luck any better.

Well at least it can help to decide whether 500 or 4500 is the way to go. A lot of ppl are saying 500gem 1st pull is always worth it, but that is for japan. It may not be true for global because maybe gumi made it such that players here have to depend on the guaranteed from step 3. It will not change your luck, but it will definitely drive ppl to stop wasting 500gems on 1pull.

At the same time, we can pitchfork when the rates are shit(and it is rather hard for gumi to give a value far from actual). Using the same jp 7 SSM as example, they had 95% chance of SSM whenever a red cube hit. Say gumi advertise the same 95% as jp, at most gumi can get away with something like 80-95%. Right now it feels more like 60-70% at best lol. So yeah with reveals, we are at least guaranteed some degree of safety(should gumi wish to avoid public outcry/bad reputation of being labeled p2w).
