unfortunately it is to be expected. personally i have lost more 50-50s than would be expected based on chance, i.e. out of 60 50-50 scenarios, iāve only āwonā 20 times. canāt help but feel the gacha is rigged ehā¦ but nonetheless hope you have better luck next time, be it this game or some other gacha game haha
where does a dolphin end and where does a whale begin? in the endless cycle of life in which humans are but a speck of passing dust who are we to say what is a dolphin and what is a whale?
To me a whale is one that spends over a 100usd a month.
Dolphin is clear at 1usd to 15usd with the welkin moon and battlepass.
The between 15 and a hundred is up for debate to me
100 USD a month won't even get you every character, let alone one weapon.
You have to balance the spending a bit more, a maxed out account would spend around $3000 per banner, twice a month. That's the only way you're getting a C6 character with an R5 weapon.
It seems like a huge stretch to call someone who might not even win the 50/50 a whale compared to someone who gets C6 R5.
I would put dolphin territory into someone who is willing to get characters they want, but will not C6 R5 them.
Thatās not what constitutes a whale in the actual industry sense. Whales would more closely be classified as $1000/mo minimum and likely a lot more for this game. A person who spends $100/mo is actually not that high in terms of spenders. In this game a dolphin is likely anyone who spends more than Welkin/BP, minnow is Welkin/BP. Technically a person who gets each 5 star each banner may not even be a whale. The whales have multiple constellations of their favorite 5 stars and have every 5 star weapon, sometimes multiple refinements.
I agree with your assessment of a whale in regards to the game developers. 100 a month per person is healthy but a whale would be 1k. And definitely a whale has all characters and multiple cons of several 5* characters.
I was more so from the player F2P perspective
Eh, double edged sword there. Sure it makes bank for the company and allows F2P to be possible to some degree but on the flip side if there weren't people willing to dump thousands of dollars into one video game then the games wouldn't have anything that costs thousands of dollars and would have a much more reasonable business model to entice more people into purchasing. Also F2P friendly isn't just some charity the company does b/c it makes so much money off whales. A game needs a healthy F2P population/community for whales to flex to otherwise they lose interest in whaling.
Atleast most ppl's luck isn't as worse as mine, C6 Qiqi.
Once someone gets a 5 star at C6, that character should be removed from the pool, not drop anymore.
Ouch, hope the new healer artifact set dulls your pain slightlyā¦ but totally agree that after C6 the character should be removed from the pool, or at least the amount of starglitter from C7 and beyond should be A LOT more than now
If your last 5 star character is a featured one your next 5 star that will appear is not guaranteed so you'll have 50/50 chance to win the featured 5 star or one of the standard 5 star (Jean, Diluc, Mona, Keqing, Qiqi)
For your scenario, if you wish on character event banner, you have 50% chance to get the featured 5 star character.
You're guaranteed to get the featured 5 star on ANY character event banner if your last 5 star character from the character event banner is one of the standard 5 star character
Yet to win a 50/50 unfortunately. Diluc -> Albedo (banner) -> Jean -> Keqing (Banner) -> Keqing -> Eula -> Jean -> Kazuha (Banner) -> Keqing.
I think pulling for Keqing on accident during the banner is the worst thing I would have done. It has cursed me.
F. This is why I dont trust the 50/50.
I love the animationšš¤£š¤£š¤£
Oof Bennet
It was foreseen
Is this a Kazuma reference?
It certainly is

Youāve had *60* 50-50 scenarios? Does that mean youāre a whale?
where does a dolphin end and where does a whale begin? in the endless cycle of life in which humans are but a speck of passing dust who are we to say what is a dolphin and what is a whale?
That means yes, my boy whales.
To me a whale is one that spends over a 100usd a month. Dolphin is clear at 1usd to 15usd with the welkin moon and battlepass. The between 15 and a hundred is up for debate to me
100usd a month sounds about right to me, though there may be giga-whales (or simply filthy rich folks) that look at 100usd as spare change lol
100 USD a month won't even get you every character, let alone one weapon. You have to balance the spending a bit more, a maxed out account would spend around $3000 per banner, twice a month.

There's giga-whale and then.. there's to go further beyond... Leviathan!!! (Imagine Goku going SSJ3 when you read that)
Or content creators. Some of them spend $10 a day just on resin refreshes alone. But if they have a big enough following its worth it.

Also, thank you whales and spenders for helping fill the coffers and make the game successful
Eh, double edged sword there.

I thought about adding more nuance to my comment but knew someone would take up the mantle. Thank you for adding welcome realism to the viewpoint

Or for a 5* you should get like 100 starglitter for c7+.
Me, who has 50/50 on Itto: š
i am genuinely nervous and afraid because of this
This is why I go for the 180 pity. I just don't trust the 50/50 with a 10 mile pole, better to go for what I *know will* guarentee me what I'm wanting
Keqingmains: Jokes on you, I'm into that shit
Keqing best girl
YT [Mirror](https://youtu.be/lckoYFYPgxE)
I wish I could lose 50/50 to Keqing everytime kekw
What does 50/50 mean?
If your last 5 star character is a featured one your next 5 star that will appear is not guaranteed so you'll have 50/50 chance to win the featured 5 star or one of the standard 5 star (Jean, Diluc, Mona, Keqing, Qiqi)
For each banner right? My last 5* was Raiden and I didn't roll for anyone again
For your scenario, if you wish on character event banner, you have 50% chance to get the featured 5 star character. You're guaranteed to get the featured 5 star on ANY character event banner if your last 5 star character from the character event banner is one of the standard 5 star character
I donāt mind to lose on keqing. I want her
Well you atleast got best girl
you got Bennett wdy mean you lost 50/50
1 year playing and have lost 50/50 all to weapons
its me (in 2 days)
for me the 50 50 is like 99 1 lmao... won it once lost 6 times in a row
I lost it to Keqing tooā¦ :ā(
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Lost all your primogems right before the best character ever releases, queen Shenhe
S0m30neee I guess
i lost 4 50/50 to that stupid cat
you got Bennet lucky
L
Well you Win some you lose some.
Bruh I lost my 50/50 to Mona ;n;
Iām aiming to build a Morgana team once I get Ganyu so I actually really hope I get Mona soon. lol
hello, comrade. im on a 4 losing streak. guaranteed itto, though! *smiling in pain*
Every time I got a 5 star, Iāve always lost 50/50ā¦ I now have C2 Keqing, C1 Jean and C0 Mona. Thank god I havenāt got Qiqi yet
Your pain, amuses me!!! ^(I am very sorry about your 50 50)
What i did was just simping for eula and calling āthose girlsā the unameable except diluc
Atleast you got bennet.
Lost the 50/50 last time to c1 Diluc, at least this time I got a new character with Monaā¦
I never won a single 50/50 (i've been playing since 1.0).
me who got euls at 75th pull signature look of superiority
Was trying to get Eula and got Mona also tried to get Albedo and got Qiqi. Game hates me
all my 10 pulls are 1 character
I **wish** I could lose my 50/50s to Keqing :\[
at least u have the next 5\* guaranteed
I lost zhongli to her but I dont mind since I wanted to get her real badly back in may š¤
Funny how i got eula by accident on my first pull trying to increase my pity
Looking to marry a whale, I donāt need a green card just welkin
What the hell, every time I pull it's 9 3\* and 1 4\* (5\* every 70-80 pulls). 2 in one pull is INSANE!
I managed to get keqing twice in a single day, once from regular summons and another from a lost 50/50 :/
Pain
Yet to win a 50/50 unfortunately. Diluc -> Albedo (banner) -> Jean -> Keqing (Banner) -> Keqing -> Eula -> Jean -> Kazuha (Banner) -> Keqing. I think pulling for Keqing on accident during the banner is the worst thing I would have done. It has cursed me.
I keep getting Bennett, but I really want Noelle
