My idea for fixing character rerun problems with ever growing roster
Warning!! lots of text!
new wish system to fix future possible character roster size problem:
Banner name: Destined wish (modified and permanent chronicled wish)
- New banner type due to possible legal issues.
- runs alongside standard banner.
- uses primogems and Intertwined fates.
- points don't carry over between banners but pity does.
3 week duration per banner rotates to new banner during new phase.
- region specific (Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan)
start at Sumeru as last chronicled wish was Inazuma.
- Would take 3 version patches to go through all old regions as of 6.0.
- 5 star weapon or character select (same as Chronicled wish fate point). 50% chance 5 star is selected character or weapon if not obtain 1 fate point next 5 star is guaranteed to be selected(remove fate point on obtaining selected).
- 4 star weapon or character select (if 4 star pulled is not selected chara or weapon get 1 Destiny point. Works identically to fate point). 50% chance to get selected.
Player needs 2 destiny points to guarantee select 4 star. Character (30 wishes for c0, 210 wishes for c6), Weapon (30 wishes for r1, 150 wishes for r5).
Should solve 4 stars taking forever to rerun and guarantee a fixed maximum price.
(Lower rate than character banner(every other 4 star is a rate up character at worst) for obvious reasons(give reason to pull on character and weapon banners)).
- all region characters and their dedicated weapons except Archons and Archon level characters. (This allows Hoyoverse to rerun fan favourite characters and their weapons on character and weapon banners)
- remove Royal and Blackcliff series from shop. Replace with more 4 star character options. (wishful thinking)
- 4 star weapons: region weapons series + select others that are non craftable.
Series names are unofficial and may not be fully accurate:
Favonius series: Favonius sword, Favonius lance, Favonius codex, Favonius greatsword and Favonius warbow
Alley series: The alley flash, Alley hunter, Wine and song (missing: claymore and polearm)
Blackcliff series: Blackcliff Longsword, Blackcliff Slasher, Blackcliff Pole, Blackcliff Agate, Blackcliff Warbow
Lithic series: Lithic blade, Lithic spear (missing: sword, bow and catalyst)
Watatsumi series: Akuoumaru, Wavebreaker's Fin, Mouun's Moon (missing: sword and catalyst)
Sacrificial series: Sacrificial sword, Sacrificial greatsword, Sacrificial fragments, Sacrificial bow (missing: polearm)
Tulaytullah series: Xiphos' Moonlight, Makhaira Aquamarine, Wandering Evenstar (missing: polearm and bow)
Wanderer's troupe series: The Flute, The Bell, The Widsith, The Stringless (missing: polearm)
Construction series: The Dockhand's Assistant, Portable Power Saw, Prospector's Drill, Range Gauge (missing: catalyst)
Royal series: Royal Longsword, Royal Greatsword, Royal Spear, Royal Grimoire, Royal Bow
4 star bane series: The lions roar, Dragon's bane, Rainslasher (missing: catalyst and bow)
Heroes of Natlan series: Sturdy Bone, Fruitful Hook, Mountain-Bracing Bolt, Waveriding Whirl, Flower-Wreathed Feathers
Memories of bonds forged series: old event weapons over a year old and 1 of each category (e.g. Festering desire, Mailed flower, Missive windspear, Oathsworn eye, Ibis piercer) allows players to obtain old event weapons and keeps engagement with current events with weapons.
Last series made up to fill in space and is truly wishful thinking.
Example:
Mondstadt - Favonius series and Alley series.
Liyue - Blackcliff series, Lithic series and 4 star bane series.
Inazuma - Watatsumi series and the Sacrificial series.
Sumeru - Tulaytullah series and Wanderer's troupe series.
Fontaine - Construction series and Royal series.
Natlan - Heroes of Natlan series and Memories of bonds forged series
(seriously Hoyoverse need to fill some of these weapon series missing slots)
A lot of wishful thinking and in some parts pure copium but i think this would give Hoyoverse another money source: if a certain character or weapon that a player wants is not on the character or weapon banners currently running and is on destined wish.
Would also fix problem of lesser performing characters(money wise) taking up valuable slot in character banner reruns.
This should replace the current standard wish but we all know Hoyoverse will not change or give that up (hence why i suggest new banner based on a modified and permanent chronicled wish).
I don't expect anything like this to be implemented by Hoyoverse but it was a fun thought experiment.
