@Memor-X even as marketing, what is better? "Start playing during anniversary and get a free 5* char!" or "yay! Klee tag on twitter will have a little emoji for the next week!!! And we spent ONE MILLION $ for this one..... AND THERE ARE MORE THAN 20 OF THEM!"
@hyper-neutrino not just reddit. Reddit has REVIEW MODE activated so new post have to be reviewed. Discord is on slow mode and has banned multiple well known Youtuber for being "toxic" (saw someone who was banned and insulted in the process. They told him "See you NEVER"). Hoyolab is distributing free bans and removing posts. Multiple chinese forums are in censorship mode with banned words and such....
@hyper-neutrino that said, yep, the problem is not the entitled group that just want free stuff. The players were already angry for the total lack of acknowledgement of any issue in the last patch cycle.
As I said, the issue started with Yoimiya
Continued with Raiden, Sara & Kokomi and reached the anni
Furthermore, more are quite angry not for the poor rewards but for the exploitative media campaigns.
Fan art contest to win 2$ worths of gems. Cosplay contest with pathetic prizes. The web event that asks you to get other people to play the game to receive minor rewards.....
As for the review bombing, expected. And to be fair, it doesn't worry me much nor seems that bad. In the end, it shows that your userbase is angry so... the fact that a bombing is possible is a review by itself - we are not talking about a "0.000001% minority that uses Meta", a far larger % or the players must be angry to make that thing happen.
I am more baffled by people pointing guns at the wrong people.
HOW IDIOT YOU ARE TO VENT YOU ANGER TO THE VA???????
It is a mess. A pure dumpster fire.
And in the middle of this, Mihoyo refuses to talk the problems with the players.
To me, it seems like this is a show of strength for them.
Like "We have to show the players who is the boss after they got us with Zhongli"
Seems oddly similar to something that happened with a big company that runs a Question&Answers site and one of their mods...
> Shut up! Don't explain! Don't show any weakness! They are the users! They have to obey! Show them who is the boss.
Didn't work very well for that company, I doubt will work for Mihoyo...
And... if one REALLY want to be dastardly, I could also easily point at some very precise coincidences in all of this that could even prove ill-will.
The Raiden/Beidou incident is still an open wound for many, but it is very suspicious. The broken synergy is very specific (and consider that Raiden E works on KLEE BOMBS) and used to work during Beta.
so, what can you make of this:
A) Giving out Beidou for free just before Raiden. Why wasn't the free 4* gift saved for anni if they didn't had anything else? Why waste a reward when no one was expecting it??
B) change in the skill text only a few hours after Raiden got live, almost like they were already expecting it.
C) no feedback for the TONS of enquirers they got about the issue.
D) that was the time they started the "Leakers Hunting Decree"
So.. isn't it kinda odd that they made a last minute change that would strongly hurt those who based their Raiden pulls on leakers data?
Almost like... they expected whales to get angry at leakers for "fake info"
