02/09/2017 Step Based Gacha

[smr]

3594

7500 gold for a rainbow knight, dressbloom and skillbloom, no idea whether you get to choose or if its randomly chosen.

Steps 4 and 5 appear to give out a random 5 & 6 star knight so pay at your own risk I suppose.

[Rupturez]

4.000 Ngold for just bronze and silver, potential 5.500 Ngold for just bronze and silver with bad RNG.

Step up gacha is just a fancy word for "Pay wall" nowadays..

You either take the entire step up or dont bother at all.

[Eab1990]

Ahaha, they're really trying to top how bad every other deal can get.

This wouldn't be nearly as bad if bronzes/silvers could be sold for bloom material or whatever, but yeah, that $40 paywall is something.

Ah well, I already bought the Developer's Gachas, so even if I wanted to, I'm already close to spent for this month.

(besides, pulling 5-6 golds from single pulls in lim1 gacha is more than enough luck already)

I'm semi-new, just started in December. I've been doing every single 6* deal since I started.... yes even the crazy $180 step up... which I think was rigged because every post about it said they got three 6*... like me. Anyway, even I'm not touching this deal. I personally only care 6* girls and to pay $75 bucks for a random 6* is not happening... yes you get the skill blooms and dresses, but I don't value those very highly. Anyway, I have 9 rainbows and only a handful left on my wish list for the current 6* girls. So my odds are very low to get what I want with this deal. I feel this deal is only attractive to new whales or the very crazy... like I was about one month ago lol... anyway to keep these deals going they need new players that are crazy enough to go for them... so personally I hope no one buys this and they start offering better deals or lower the dang price. Hoping they have a better valentines deal right around the corner and this is just some lame attempt to boost profit.

i don't care about steps 1 to 4 so i have to pay 7500NG for a rainbow plus skill- and dressbloom... nope, not this time.

was hoping for a choose any 6 star for 5k valentines deal today so i could get cherry, here's hoping they might still do it on Tuesday's maintenance

[Myrdin]

In simple words:

FUCK
THE
PAYWALL

[Drip]

Well, I REALLY wanted a Dress Bloom for Anemone and a Skill Bloom for Alpinia, so I went with it, and got an Oxalis dupe, a Dahlia dupe, Dendrobium (new) and a Skill Bloom for Justica along the way. 1 more Dress Bloom to go for Anemone, and I can move the Lucky Jewelry set to her so she'll be as overpowered as Fritillaria.

[paraphin]

well thx a lot @Drip... now i'm thinking again about doing it D:

Grats man. To be honest I'm tempted, I have 1/3 chance for dupe which will piss me off a 1/3 chance to get a 6* I want and 1/3 chance for a girl I'm eh about. I'll resist though because let's be honest, you can get two guaranteed picked 6* for this price if your patient. Plus I want to stick it to natuku for pricing these things too high.

[AgentFakku]

steps 4 and 5 are good but wtf is steps 1-3

[Rampage]

wow, really can not believe this. I look at two sides in any FKG purchase. the new player and the long time player. Although only playing since Aug-Sep 2016, got a few 6* and all the event girls, my whole line up is 5* and 6* girls mostly leveled and all evolved.

Now for the long term player, it's a random 5* and 6* draw with blooms. We do not care about 4* knight or below. You'll get them from all the gacha's (got all my 3* to max skill/equipment slots from bad draws in step up gacha events ie "Winter Cheer")
4* maybe if you care about them, but all the forums post i read, never heard about people offering to pay for one.

For new players, it's ok Content wise if you want a boost, but really 7500 gold. For most people that a lot of cash for a game like FKG. I thought things were getting better with the discounted girls for the developers choice, which on the other hand was good. You get less, but to be able to choose is always worth the premium
I guess they really like to keep things random.


So avoiding this, not touching with 10 foot pole. 75$ for random 6* with skill/Gear blooms plus random 5* or small chance of second 5* with one skill bloom is not worth 75$ for me.

I forgot that rainbow dressblooms work for gold knights...now im being tempted to fully unlock Justicia's slots

^ This. I'm out on this one.

...Plus I already have 17 rainbows, dupe chance is pretty damn high.

Fuck me, I guess I'm still crazy. Sorry guys I gave in, thus supporting this shit. I got a Queen of the Night dupe and a Kerria dupe, so serves me right I guess. Swimming in salt right now.

- I wouldn't feel so bad if the price had been maybe $50.
