Pity System Explained - NA getting pity early?

It's been awhile since my last upload as a took a break to re-evaluate things.
Today we're going to be explaining the Pity System and some of the ins and outs of its functions. Pity is more reachable than people think and with the news coming out of JP it looks like it might come to NA early!
Keep in mind just because Korea has it announced, doesn't mean the NA server will!

Sorry for not posting for awhile, but the news out of Korea is too big not to cover! Do you think we'll follow Korea and get pity by new years?

[@GammaRingHunter]

What was the Korea news? Pity before or after new years

Facts

[@TheMCMaffyx]

They could greatly improve pity alone when they carry it over all banners. I hope they announce something like this to New Year so we can hope that we will get the update to the anni. Nice video. Always happy when you upload something :)

[@justinmullins1112]

I've heard an argument against rolling pity, something like this: they probably don't want to incentivize players to not roll when they have pity coming up but they don't want the current 5* on rate-up. I'll admit I haven't thought through how reasonable this argument is. I'd appreciate input on this, either for or against.

[@persephonehades7547]

@@justinmullins1112 It's hardly reasonable. Either way they would get the same amount of money from whales and dolphins, so the lack of carry over really fucks over FTP/GSSR-only players the most.

[@kryx1543]

To be honest, after a long time fgo finally has pity and it definitely has trade offs, but the thing that I can't stand about the pity is the rotation on the banner, it makes players feel very uneasy when wanting to roll a specific unit, like making the game more focus on 5 stars instead of letting players roll on individual rotation like the 4 and 3 stars servants and overall it makes it less appealing to roll on a banner.

[@redd1315]

Thanks for the great info Khad

[@RoMa-1586]

This could very well be announce at Anime NYC this weekend since Yoshiki Kanou will in attendance at the event and let’s not forget that the Thanksgiving campaign might get announce as well.

[@leon5460]

this thing don't have a good outcome for f2p because they don't have rotation banner anymore for sr. Also we don't really use the pity system because to get 300 pulls it's like saving for almost an entire year to only get 1 ssr (unless it's your ultimate waifu/husbando and you don't care about other units).

[@shinja5459]

I heard about the pity and went "wait we pity system?" Genuine shock 😲

[@Flaris]

A nice breakdown of the pity system. Honestly I think it'll happen for NA. One doesn't mean the other will happen. But I just feel like the NA side would be able to get it done with the example of Korea getting it early. The issues for the 4* servants is too bad. But I think the benefits are still higher. Be really nice to set goals of a couple specific servants next year and know that I can get them if I put enough quartz aside. Instead of now where I can put a lot of quartz aside...but can still be doomed.

[@muchluck7981]

Remember that there are people who want 4 star servants... and are now having the potential to be screwed due to banner shenanigans

[@jezzajake6621]

Thanks for the video Khad! I never thought about summoning on separate banners for additional copies to get the pity again. That's a great idea and will definitely come in clutch for some of my NP2 targets.

[@GoobieWoobie69]

this "pity" system would be a lot better if it transferred over between banners so you would at least have a guaranteed character you want in the future since 900 SQ tales a lot to get. The predatory nature of this games gacha makes me so sad since i enjoy the game but don't wanna support this companies practices.

[@ShionKenobi]

Not to mention there is no pity for 4 stars, you know sometimes you get what you dont need, even being rarer... Also, even big spenders are hurt by this pity, a little. You cant garantee Np2 with 1.8k SQ as it goes away. Which is dumbashell...

[@pokegoldmineA]

I am split about pity coming early to EN if it comes early. On one hand it would be nice to be able to guarantee so high value SSRs early like Koyan Light and Oberon for many players. On the other hand I am not going to enjoy the lack of rotating banners and dread getting NP10 Baobhan while trying to get Barghest or getting NP10 Rider Caenis while aiming for Berserker Sei. As for the amount, while I would've prefered if it were lower like say, 600 SQ to hit pity, getting 900 SQ isn't too big of an ordeal if you have good self control. Either way, good luck on all of your future summons and while pity is nice, it would still suck having to hit it.

[@hmmmmname]

Really glad the only 4 star I'm rolling for in the next 2 years (re-run banner aside) is Zenobia (who doesn't have any other 4 stars on rate-up).

[@thekirtfox]

Thanks for all the info! Great food for thought. Along with your great farming guides, you deserve more followers. Keep up the great work ^^.

[@PGM991]

900SQ... It's same as don't have any pity for me. It meant for whale No effect for me whatsoever.

[@chellsolo4162]

dear Khadroth, thanks for the explanation, but I have a question, what happen in dual/multiple 5* banners?, as far as I know they do exist (i think) and I just whant 1 of those

[@gee_kaz]

I know pity is nice and all but i dont like how they handle the SR rateups since it got implemented. I have a few targets for next year if there's no split rate ups is just gonna suck

[@KHMDarkness]

I’ll be frank, unless the pity system carries over from banner to banner, it’s pretty useless for the average player. For most players, they wouldn’t have over 300 SQ for banners. At most, from saving for about two months, they might have about 100? And that’s being generous with the game giving you SQ around this time of year. So really, this only effects the Whales and Krakens. The majority of the player base cannot use this because of the simple fact that they won’t have it carry over from banner to banner.

[@mogagary]

I humbly disagree with you here. I am F2P and I have never spent so much as a single dollar on the game since I started playing back in 2019. Yet I managed to save well over 800 SQ for Van Gogh. I ultimately spent 810 SQ and 5 tickets and got neither her nor Nemo. Had the Pity system existed here, I would have hit 900 SQ and gotten that 1 copy of Van Gogh.

[@KHMDarkness]

@@mogagary While it is true you would have gotten Van Gogh if the pity system was in the game at the time (also you didn’t get her even after 800 pulls? Oof… my condolences. >.> ), but I have to ask; how many times did you pull before that banner? Or rather how many other Servants did you get that’s four stars or above? From what it sounds like, you didn’t spend a single SQ on any banner since you started that account. Which is how you were able to have 800 for Van Gogh’s banner.

[@zephann8714]

Ayo finally he's back 😭😭

[@requiemTA]

Good to see you back

[@purelysmetalnightcore]

I'm very fortunate to be financially stable enough to afford the pity system (if I need it), so I intend to return to the game once pity is implemented in NA. Honestly, I've already had a LOT of good luck between my original JP account and multiple NA accounts, so I am not too worried, especially in regard to the issue with the 4*s.

[@luckyman4906]

Welcome back

[@purelysmetalnightcore]

@@luckyman4906 LOL thanks, the game welcomed me back with Heracles my first try on the tutorial roll. I was prepared to reroll for him.

[@illyachan5901]

What I'm worried about is that since they're adding a pity system, is that gonna change how the summoning works already? 900 gems is a ridiculous amount to need for reaching pity, especially if it doesn't transfer over. I remember having 500 something gems saved up when summoning for illya and I got 2 of her, and I got vanghoh in 4 summon tickets. but will the new pity system make it so that things like that are less likely to happen because it wants you to go to full pity..? Because I'd rather have no pity if thata the case.

[@ptilopsis4092]

I don't think so. As long as the rates don't change the pulling experience will stay the same, but I think the pity automatically restart after you get the SSR (?)

[@OtakuDono]

This "pity" is shit tbh. Just because it's better than nothing, doesn't make it good. I hope that when they implement it on NA they think good and hard how to fix it and implement all the changes in both servers at the same time.

[@jtfbreedlove]

Never heard of this before, would have helped for the hundreds of anniversary SQ I wasted trying to kid vinci.

[@cmversailles]

For NA, is the current pity system at 330 rolls for guaranteed GSSR? Assuming your rolling it all in one day, or rolling concurrently?

[@llucasss6173]

Those banner with 2 5* won't rotate anymore? Or it's only the 4* who won't rotate but they'll make another banner for the other 5*?

So lemme get this straight, if I want summer kama and I'm at 899 sqs n didn't get her on day one. Then I wait till next two or three days till the next one pull, my pity for kama won't reset even if the 4 stars rotation has changed by then?

No it’s not 300sq it’s 300 rolls. you have to do at least 900sq worth of rolls if I remember correctly meaning you would have to be doing 11rolls 30 times to get the pity system

Caps a banner unit at like 900~ SQ, would make my life easier. About to hit 1000 SQ saved up for Morgan, and while I’m relying on the statistics behind getting her, pity would be a very nice safety net, as I watched a video the other day of someone spending almost 1500 to get Van Gogh. Or was it Nemo? Whoever was the most recent event. …worst case, I can get Merlin in 2024 when we’re projected to get pity.

The FGO pity system is ok, Genshin has a better one, but something is something. I hope they can bring this to NA as a new year's update, it'll be really helpful since the next year is gonna be insane for gacha.

[@azeto2797]

900 SQ How long you save up for that amount in fgo? No carry over Even rotating banner doesn't work Is that ok? In genshin, at least every single pull still useful, I can guarantee that you can hit pity once every 2-3 months being f2p (hitting pity for 5 stars in uncommon, normally you get at 70+ pulls or early 10 pulls), but this? The only time fgo generous to us is when anniv, that's once a year. I think only whales benefitting from this.

@@Noizemaze4 Hahaha you right there. Well, i just made my appointment in base of my best friend experience who plays Genshin and that's what he said about it, i only play FGO and that's enough gacha for me lol, i recently introduced him into the Fateverse, so let's hope he can change his mind XD

[@rellsyk6358]

@Azeto In the past i used to play lot of gacha games besides FGO, but honestly, i consider FGO pretty generous when it comes to rewards/sq/tickets, and so far that's one of the many reasons I'm still playing this game (I'm f2p btw). Is just a matter of avoid certain banners. Khadroth himself did advice us about this and said that it is better to have a plan for the units you really want. I can save around 700sq even throwing on bait banners, but that's my limit lol.

[@nurventilatoren]

Even Genshins Pity System is FAR better. There you'll hit Soft Pity in roughly 74 Summons and Hard Pity in 90 Summons. So yeah, FGOs Pity System is trash. (And Pity carries over)

[@SuperSarutobisensei]

Leave it to FGO to create a pity system that I actually dread and would prefer didn't exist. The shared SR rate up that comes from pity honestly seems like its due to programming incompitance rather than an executive decision. Or if is is an executive decision its downright malicious and predatory. You will almost never need the SSR pity anyway but now your ability to get the SR you want is terribly compromised. Pity is for the SSR so as long as that remains the constant, what's wrong with rotating SR banners?

[@cesardavalos1711]

Ugh. FGO has bad pity. I would almost prefer no pity
