New Year's Step Based Gacha Thread

[Wutan]

in the end this Gacha hurts Nutaku more than it hurts us.

I don't think there are that many people spending money for this Gacha.

December was a really bad month in terms of Special Gachas.

I hope we will get at least some Standard Deals in the near future (Nerine Step Up Gacha, Victoria Step Up Gacha, Bride Oncidium Step Up Gacha etc.)

If they decide to continue the current Bad/Semi-Bad Gacha streak i will spend my money on the DMM Version exclusively.

From a marketing perspective, they certainly did rush things.

November definitely brought in potential spenders.

December likely turned them away just as fast.

Welcome to the year of hungry whales!
Honestly, Nutaku's greed knows no limit... ... 180€... which is enough to buy 4+ complete PC/Console Games...

Now that is what I call Good Marketing Strategy.

Welcoming the New Year with a shameless Pay Wall. Good old Nutaku.

Just a few things holding me back:
-If I were to pull any rainbows (so far, all my rainbows were guaranteed deals), it'd probably be one or more Black Baccara dupes. But I have no interest in playing with BB, and already keep her benched anyway.
-I probably still wouldn't pull Poinsetia
-December is a bloody expensive month as it is, and I'm already looking forward to my next paycheck, which is still more than 3 weeks away. So this would be a more tempting deal in a "cheaper" month, like, March, perhaps? Or maybe May, in that month we often get "holiday savings" payout around here.

If anything, I'd probably suggest changing the 11-draws into 10-draws + a guaranteed roll ticket. Like, a 5* guaranteed ticket for the first step, a 6* guaranteed ticket for the second, and a "pick your favourite 6*" ticket for the third step. Yes, it's pretty easy to turn a mediocre deal into an awesome deal.

Suppose you could you say I have been a whale more than once on this game and I do not regret it but this is beyond ridiculous, no thank you.

I'm vaguely contemplating it. The size of the upfront payment is quite large, and if you've been playing since the start and have a good collection already then it probably isn't a good value. My collection isn't particularly large (2 rainbows, 1 from BF) and about 10 or so gacha golds (and 7 or so event golds). The first step is clearly not worth it but the 2nd two make up for it if you're in that situation and willing to shell out. It would still be problematic for me to get a lot of use out of those girls and it guarantees that I'd be broke (in game $) for months for leveling and evolutions. Still thinking about it though. It'd likely be the only time I took a deal like that.

Update:
Ok, I just pulled the Limited 1 gacha after having gotten in the extra 5 FGs from the compensation. Rolled Flowering Peach, Black Baccara, Kale, and dupes of Setaria and Lupine. I'm probably set for a long time with that...

One of the biggest NOPE's of 2016.

looks like they really did make someone mad among their management team with the Black Friday Gacha, this New Year's gacha is so greedy as shit

Yep but greed doesn't work in the long run. History told us

I think there are some generous guys working for Nutaku but they always get their butts kicked from their bosses...

They will lose a lot of customers if they continue this path.
