Regulars fielded questions about app size, gacha rates, and whether it’s still worth starting now.

(っ´ω`c) Thread for waiting out the maintenance
2Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:35:05.053ID:v5iSo81R0
(っ´ω`c) Maintenance won't end 😭 ugh…

(っ´ω`c) I believe it'll end at 6 PM

How big's the install?
I got wrecked on Star Rail (Honkai: Star Rail) gacha, so I'll try this if it's lightweight
13Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:41:45.205ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>9
(っ´ω`c) The app was about 3GB
10Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:40:41.325ID:Cl9lLZ440
Haven't played since day-one login
Is it any good?
14Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:42:06.957ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>10
(っ´ω`c) It's a good time
18Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:46:40.222ID:Hj/iZbfg0
(ꐦ·᷅ὢ·᷄ꐦ ) Is a crappy event about to start?
20Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:49:32.808ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>18
(っ´ω`c) It's not confirmed to be crappy yet
22Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:50:23.684ID:Hj/iZbfg0
(ꐦ·᷅ὢ·᷄ꐦ ) Does the gacha update weekly?
23Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:51:08.084ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>22
(っ´ω`c) Sounds like new characters are coming 4 weeks in a row
24Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:51:45.438ID:rexjAy720
Can I still enjoy it if I start now?
25Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:52:14.207ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>24
(っ´ω`c) Yeah, you can enjoy it just fine — it's not a game where you're competing against other players
26Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:52:47.887ID:rexjAy720
>>25
Thanks
I'll give it a shot when I get home
29Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:56:44.025ID:Hj/iZbfg0
>>25
(ꐦ·᷅ὢ·᷄ꐦ ) That kind of depends on the event, doesn't it?
There's already some kind of ranking system in place at this stage anyway

Feels like they're gonna do ranked events too
Not sure about this particular one, but they've already built in stuff like 'war' that's clearly headed that direction
27Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:53:51.094ID:BR4Qhj9d0
Ryza Chat's rating dropped to 2.2
Well yeah, it's built around spending money so that tracks
There's seriously nothing you can do for free in that thing
32Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:01:10.135ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>27
(っ´ω`c) It's basically an online hostess club (an app designed to milk you for cash like a cabaret club)
28Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:56:30.154ID:Z7zq/yFI0
Show me some of the cute characters that are already in the game
34Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:01:40.529ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>28
(っ´ω`c) Can't show you, it's still under maintenance — Lotte-chan is cute though
30Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 13:59:42.400ID:CaJxqgkR0
(´・ω・`) Have you played Atelier Ryza AI?
37Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:02:43.119ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>30
(っ´ω`c) Nope, haven't played it
33Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:01:11.066ID:mvN3VRUb0
Depending on the gacha, am I retiring today? pomi
38Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:03:22.224ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>33
(っ´ω`c) You're not gonna pull it anyway
35Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:01:46.941ID:CaJxqgkR0
(´・ω・`) Is the Steam version not out yet?
39Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:03:32.493ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>35
(っ´ω`c) Not yet
42Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:07:18.064ID:BR4Qhj9d0
In the mood for some fried sweet shrimp
That stuff is way too good
46Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:11:49.565ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>42
(っ´ω`c) Really?
43Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:07:51.389ID:mvN3VRUb0
>>38
Are you gonna pull today!? Or wait for the 4th banner!?
47Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:12:06.641ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>43
(っ´ω`c) Can't pull, I'm out of gems (gacha currency)
53Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:20:09.419ID:BR4Qhj9d0
I had a similarly brutal bust during the Fate collab in Mahjong Soul
Did like 70 pulls and got zero collab characters, barely even got 'near-miss' pulls (same-rarity but non-featured characters) — worst luck ever
That one had me half-convinced the '5% rate' had to be a lie
When the RNG screws you that hard, you start suspecting the odds are rigged
55Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:22:59.244ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>53
(っ´ω`c) If the collab character pickup rate is only around 1%, that's honestly plausible
59Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:24:55.561ID:AqbY30hy0
All I ever max-dupe is old guys and dogs 😔
60Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:25:44.907ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>59
(っ´ω`c) Well, if the old guy and dog are actually useful, maxing them out isn't so bad
61Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:26:39.076ID:uPEXkf8x0
(´・ω・`) What even is 'Genso Suikoden'? Isn't that different from the actual Water Margin?
64Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:28:07.349ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>61
(っ´ω`c) I mean, they added fantasy elements to Water Margin, so it's the 'Illusory' Water Margin, right? Not really sure though
63Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:27:44.042ID:BR4Qhj9d0
>>55
Nah, I think there are 4 pickup characters at around 0.7% each, so if you don't care which one, the odds of a near-miss are actually lower
66Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 14:29:33.250ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>63
(っ´ω`c) Ah, I see, fair enough
116Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 15:02:36.348ID:CaJxqgkR0
(´・ω・`) Yikes

119Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 15:05:53.454ID:ZVjxVHtL0
>>116
(っ´ω`c) Do you eat it sandwiched between something?
