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, a significant change to how the gacha works.
According to leaks from Sakura Haven, the 3.2 update lets 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. This personalized pool will partially or fully replace the default one, giving you far greater control over your rewards.
Currently, the 50/50 pity pool includes 7 standard characters. Version 3.2 changes this. You'll select 7 characters from a larger "Group" to form your personalized pool. Losing a 50/50 pull will then reward you with a character from *your* customized pool, not the default one.
This "Group" initially includes the 7 standard characters plus a selection of others. This customizable pity system directly addresses a common gacha complaint: the frustration of unwanted 50/50 results. By prioritizing desired characters, players have a better chance of getting units that fit their playstyle.
However, details about the selectable characters are scarce. It's unclear whether past limited characters, current banner units, or entirely new characters will be included.
This change shows miHoYo's commitment to improving Honkai: Star Rail's player experience. The customizable pity system highlights the importance of player agency in gacha games and could set a new standard for similar systems in other titles.
While the full impact remains to be seen, the news has generated considerable excitement. Players eagerly anticipate the changes in Honkai: Star Rail 3.2.
