Honkai: Star Rail's gacha system is getting a major overhaul, giving players more control over their character pulls. Leaks suggest version 3.2 will introduce a customizable pity system for limited banners, marking a significant shift in how players interact with the game's gacha mechanics.
According to leaks from Sakura Haven, the 3.2 update will let you personalize your 50/50 pity pool. Instead of the standard pool of 7 characters, you'll choose your preferred characters from a larger selection. These chosen characters will partially or fully replace the default pool, giving you much more control over your rewards.
Currently, the 50/50 pity pool includes 7 standard characters. Version 3.2 replaces this with a customizable "Group." You'll select 7 characters from this expanded "Group" to form your personalized 50/50 pity pool. This means losing a 50/50 pull will reward you with a character from *your* chosen pool, not the standard lineup.
Initially, the "Group" will include the 7 standard characters plus a selection of additional characters. This is a huge improvement, reducing the frustration of random pity pulls.
This change significantly enhances player experience by offering more flexibility and addressing a common gacha complaint: the randomness of losing pity rolls. Prioritizing desired characters increases your chances of getting units that fit your playstyle.
However, details remain unclear. It's uncertain whether the selectable pool will include past limited characters, current banner units, or entirely new additions.
This customizable pity system reflects HoYoverse's commitment to improving Honkai: Star Rail and prioritizing player choice. This innovative approach could set a new standard for gacha systems in other games.
While the full impact remains to be seen, the news has generated significant excitement. Players eagerly await the Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 launch to experience these changes firsthand.
