Don't Fall for This F2P Trap in Wuthering Waves

many of you like myself are gearing up for weathering waves releasing in just four days or is it three days four days three I don't know one of those two but the main audience that I want to speak to today is going to be primarily my free-to-play audience or uh if you're like me and you want to optimize everything possible from the very beginning of the game to the middle slend of the game probably want to listen to what I'm saying most of you uh maybe that's not fair to say some of you a good majority of you the vocal majority of you will be coming from ginch and impact or the rejected ginch and impact audience those that are pretty much like me where we wanted some end-game content from gch and impact and we did not get that but you are playing it anyway I'm not playing ginch and impact all that in mind weathering waves might kind of be a freeto play trap for for freeo play that that sentence doesn't make sense so just just scratch that in order for me to explain this I have to explain from all three different perspectives there's a perspective of starl gin impact and then of course punishing greay Raven punishing Gray Raven is the easiest for me to explain but it is the most trick fellow pgr players can correct me if I'm wrong but during your one that was hell you're one of PG with some of the most grindy I don't really want to do this but I love the gameplay and everything else about it possible I I really don't know how to explain it besides you had to have experienced it and it was not fun I mean the the gameplay was fun everything else about it wasn't fun and so during year one of pgr teams really didn't feel like teams they were clearly the characters that were op or over the toop and these over the- toop characters meant that I could pretty much play the game with just this character and call it a day that eventually and quickly devolved into I really don't need to pull for any of the characters that L crew into making some bad financial decisions blah blah blah blah blah but I'm not here to talk about their finances specifically I'm more so pointing at the fact that when we got our hands on pgr during year 1 there were some things that we were not aware of that we probably should have been aware of because they ended up coming true or rather inter parition later on in the game that thing being weapons gear teams all the stuff that ginch and impact players refuse to acknowledge is probably normal in other gacha games but in their gacha game it's not normal at all and I can explain ginin in a very easy manner ginin is the easiest gotcha game that a lot of people seem to you know they love the game it's cool it's whatever but you don't need to pull a single weapon and genin impact not only is a weapon Banner ass but you really just can do everything with the free free weapons three star weapons you can fish up some of the best weapons in the game there's a lot of different things that make ginin impact good and great at what it is and by no means am I saying that having free-to-play options in a game is bad what I'm saying is you that vocal majority of ginch impact players that I mentioned at the beginning of this video cannot assume every other game is going to be as generous as gch impact at least when it comes to the weapons as of right now weaing waves has confirmed that we're getting a bunch of stuff on release day launch night if you're here in the US Tuesday night 9:00 p.m. for me or something like that 600 p.m. whatever it is anyway point being is that we're getting that not only are we getting the 20 standard pools from the pre-registration rewards but we're also going to get 10 standard pulls and 10 limited pulls on top of that from the special broadcast program that just happened happen we'll also have a 5day login bonus giving us more PS and whenever you upgrade to I believe they're going to keep it the same but Union level 45 you're going to get a free five star weapon of your choice we're getting multiple free fourstar characters which in this game similar to the other games four stars pack a lot of punch and In weaing Waves it is skill over the character most most of the time and for the final comparison I have H Kai staro which I am known as The litee Connoisseur the grandure of Lite cones the promoter if you will right I'm I'm going sell you a like with that in mind keep that with a grain of salt I was right simple as that star real had a very important factor which being the light cones they gave you certain things in the game that I called out very early on why these were important staro has a thing where you can use your your Jade glitter or Star glitter the the currency that you get after summoning for a character you get dupes you can use that to then buy a standard five-star L cone for whatever characters that you want and I mentioned that this would be more important than getting characters most of the community did not listen to me and then they ended up regretting it later on where they don't have light cone options or a character like acon for instance came out and you needed her best light cones which were gacha light cones which means you have to pull on the Goa light cone Banner because there's no other way for you to get that unless you just get really lucky and you get it from the character Banner the star's kind of in the middle between pgr and ginin impact and I feel like weathering waves is going to sit right there in the middle between starl and pgr so genin's just gone out of the window at this point right and the reason that I say that is simply because weing In Waves makes every point clear for you to get any weapon that you want a limited weapon or standard weapon whatever the case may be they also make it very clear that you don't have to stress about building up multiple gear sets or at least not right now in Tower of adversity Tower adversity in Tower of in Tower of I can't say this word tower of adversity in Tower of adversity thank you something that I have not seen any gacha game do to my knowledge is going to allow you to swap gear sets in between Cycles you're basically going to have three teams you need three fully built teams or at least uh mostly built teams within this Tower the endgame mode in order to successfully go through the entire thing so think of spiral Abyss but instead of two teams you need three teams or if you're from starl think of mlc but instead of two teams you need three teams now you add another stipulation on top of that the next stipulation is going to be the fact that you have a point system which is similar to PG's point system if I'm not mistaken where you can only use x character throughout this entire ingame Mo uh mode during that one session that you have you can use this character x amount of times maybe the point system is capped out at 2 or three which means you can only use this character in succession two times or three times whatever the case may be I'll know more about that once we get Tower of adversity in our hands and I can fully go over that and the reason I say that is because it could have changed from cbt2 to release so until that happens I'm not going to make any definite claims on this particular change but we do have the confirmation of the weapon Banner we have the confirmation of the character Banner the weapon selector character selector all the pulls that we're going to be getting and the free characters that we're going to be getting in weathering waves we not only have the same thing as the star glitter to allow us to choose a standard five-star weapon but we also have that ability to pick up adalon or constellations in this game I believe they're called sequences but you have the ability to pick up copies of whatever character that you want limited or standard limited of course is going to be during The Limited Banner which is huge for a game like this in pgr duplicates of a character really help complete a character and in some situations make a character go from what would have been decent or standard to leagues Beyond better on the other end of that some characters are just not usable unless you have a certain amount of dupes I don't believe weathering waves is going to follow this path exactly but the fact that they allow us to do that and it's in the game does mean something a very key rule that I like to go by is that hoyo is smart they don't put anything in the game for no reason just like in the beginning of star when people were confused about effect hit rate and a lot of people looked at as a useless stat and here we are a year later where effect hit rate is one of the most important stats for some of the other characters so I like to go in thinking Kuro is similar where they're not going to give us a free weapon selector the ability to have a 100% guaranteed limited Banner a better 50/50 on the characters and a little bit of a higher pity rate there's a lot about weaing as far as that goes that really dictates what we should start looking at when it comes to team building or at least the characters that you're looking to build I say all this to say that most free to play players love collecting characters and I get it I love wuss too some of the husbandos but uh I don't think weaing is going to be a got to catch them all I got to collect them all it's definitely I got to catch them all cuz of the the ecosystem with the Pokemon but I mean that for characters I don't think this game is going to be one of those games where you have to collect where you feel the need to collect every single character in fact the game punishes you for collecting a bunch of characters at least early on without spending money thanks to renous rivus has given us what would be a speculation of how much time it would take you to build a character five star or fourstar how much time it would take you to build a gear a five-star weapon or a fourstar weapon the equivalent of Trace materials or essential materials all this stuff and the short answer is that this will take you anywhere between 40 to 60 days in order to completely build just one character and the 40 to 60 days is basically the conversion of how much stamina you would have to use you only get 240 the stamina rate right now or the recovery rate is pretty ass in my opinion or one stamina every 6 minutes which means 240 stamina it would take you a full 24 hours to recover said stamina I don't think we have an overcap right now so you're definitely going to want to never let this cap because you don't get any extra after that you're pretty much wasting stamina at that point and if it takes you the equivalent of 40 to 60 days to be able to use the stamina to build up a full character and most if you were going to be aiming for three then you really don't have time to sit there and collect all the characters and then somehow build all of the characters and make them efficient enough be doing whatever it is that you're doing I feel like right now weathering waves from here this point forward and a little bit maybe after a couple patches we'll have more resources who knows but right now it does feel like it's going to be a oneman team until we get to Tower of adversity and I don't think getting to that Tower is going to be something that people do in the first week obviously the the Die Hard players the whales will get there but your casual player the one who's playing the game having a good time all that kind of stuff I don't think you're going to get to the Tower in a week or even a month for that matter you might but now that takes a lot less stress off of you and it allows you to build your team build your characters and focus properly on optimizing in your account if that's what you care about if you don't care about this stuff it's cool you don't even have to worry about everything that I just said for the last 10 minutes doesn't matter it doesn't matter if you don't care about optimizing your account if you want to treat it like a collect them all and you just want to have fun you can do that but if you're looking at this and you don't want to waste resources you don't want to be in that situation where it's like dang I have a bunch of level 40 characters I can't take anyone to level 70 what do I do how do I get more resources and you unfortunately find out it's going to take you 2 to 3 months to get these resources to take that one character from level 40 to level 90 or level 70 whatever it is that you're aiming for you might drop the game I've been there plenty of times I turn on genin I turn it back off as soon as I realize that I have to go grind for something and it's it's split between days and weeks and whatever else I turn the game off and I go play Elden ring I got the katana and it's sick as too bad I couldn't actually use it because it required 23 intelligence now I ain't fight that flaming finally I want to end this video off by letting you guys know that you don't have to stress about whatever five star you're looking for we have confirmation of this thanks to the live stream that just happened with basically 35 Pools by the time you get to level five you will have 35 standard pools blessed into your account you get the other five from hitting level five something like that so you'll have 35 the pity Banner the beginner Banner is 50 pools total but it's at a reduced rate which basically means 40 pools these 40 pools means that once you hit 40 pulls you'll be able to get your five star even if you had the worst of luck like myself you're going to get it at the five or the 40 the 40th pull you'll get your five star now here's the thing that I recommend and I'll have my own I'm I'm going to have a whole roll guide coming out right before the game comes out point being is that I recommend you grab or aim for your DPS character out of that beginner Banner don't I know people are going to tell you go for Verina don't do Vina the reason I'm telling you don't do Verina is because you could get your DPS character from the beginner pity have as much fun as you want cuz damage is is fun you're actively playing with your main driver your main DPS so of course they're going to have the most field time Verina will not have the most field time and yeah she'll help you with your fourar characters but why not just grab Reina from the 80 pity that's going to take you that 30 or 40 days to get to the 80P if you're the most unlucky like me and then you can just pick up Verina on top of your main DPS character that you already have by this point you would have already had limited Banner pools and you would have been able to get a limited character or at least hit pity for one of the limited banners and then grab Yin Lin or cro whatever it is that you're aiming for in the beginning or you can save up for the next character and I would tell you guys to save up for the limited Banner on the weapon and then just grab that for your main DPS if you plan on getting Gian or Yin Lin but I know that's a really hot take for the go community and you guys just are not used to pulling on weapon banners like the pgr community is so I'm going to leave that for another video more of this story have fun but be smart about it guys if you enjoyed today's video do leave a like comment down below all that fun stuff I will be dropping more weathering waves content on the channel and uh you know come watch me live on twitch.tv/ iO K I don't know why I did this with my fingers like I'm not spelling my name when I do that I'm just whisking around like the Disney you know the Disney one with the smell you later
