Genshin impact anniversary free 5 star

Genshin Impact

miHoYo

The Genshin Impact playerbase continues to revolt against miHoYo’s refusal to offer meaningful rewards for its one year anniversary event. While there are a large number of contests and events ongoing, the rewards offered within them are paltry, and some are even tied to gacha odds, like one which will give 90% of players 100,000 Mora, and 10% Blessing of the Welkin Moon, a good amount of primogems over the course of a month.

Players want more than that, and are saying that miHoYo is being too stingy, given the absurd amount of revenue that Genshin Impact rakes in. Gacha games are often pretty generous with free rewards and during anniversary events like this, given the money they make elsewhere, and because they want to keep their playerbase happy, but Genshin has clearly missed the mark here, and is now getting ratioed on every single social media post about the lack of good anniversary rewards.

The most common thing I see players asking for are some free heroes for a change and namely, a free 5 star. The best idea, the one that makes the most sense to me, is this player who says that people should be offered a “base” free 5 star, the kind that are found in the regular pool outside of specialty banners:

Jean, Mona, Diluc, Keqing and Qiqi are the game’s original 5 stars, outside of your hero, and avid players may have a few copies of each by now. Veterans would benefit from another constellation level on any of these, while new players would get a strong 5 star, but not one stronger than nearly all the new banners that come out, so it’s not a huge deal. After a year, I think the playerbase deserves the choice of a single new five star, especially if we’re not talking about any of the limited banner run ones.

Genshin Impact is in no danger of seeing spending drop. Its release of Baal/Ei/The Raiden Shogun was one of its most profitable days in its history, and the game is only continuing to grow and increase its revenue. A little goodwill goes a long way, and it’s clear that miHoYo has picked the wrong path here in terms of its anniversary rewards.

Generally speaking, miHoYo usually does to cave to fan pressure eventually, and they are weirdly generous in other areas, with some fans joking that they get more rewards for downtime or game bugs than they are for this anniversary event.

A free 5 star costs them nothing, would engender good vibes in the playerbase and would not decrease their revenue prospects going forward. It’s the right move, and I hope they realize that.

So do you think they will give us new free 5 star for the anniversary in September to give back to the players for their 1 year anniversary. Or will they be greedy and give us very little.

Well, if you combine a couple of rumors, it’s possible. There was a rumor that Ayaka would be a free 5 star way back in 1.2. The newest rumor is that ayaka will release around her birthday in September. It’s possible she could be a free 5 star around then. Is it likely? Nope. Sure would be nice, though.

I could see a 5 star sword, especially if the passive only works with the traveler.

Probably an old one of your choice, like they apparently do on anniversaries with Honkai Impact from what I've heard

I feel like there is actually a middle ground between "free 5*" and "very little".

Having said that, they've trended so far toward the cheaper side of the spectrum. As long as Genshin is popular, I expect that to be the case.

Eh.

the thing about comparisons to other gacha games is that those other gacha games aren't comparable

old games are able to give out more free stuff than new games because the free stuff makes up a much smaller percentage of the total. there are only 13 5* characters currently and an f2p player from day one probably has like 4 of them. its asking a lot to expect them to give away a free 5* already.

even granblue, which is generally considered the most generous gacha game, was pretty stingy until around its third anniversary.
