It's not just weapon banner all the banner should only get rate up 5 stars on pity cuz the other normal banner gives u other stuff too.
Some people's lucks are better than others. I know some friends pulling staff of homa faster than the fastest hand in the West. Like, in just one 10 roll fast.
I'd quadruple the rates and make pity at 50 pulls. Then allow you to click one of the weapons before you start summoning and that will alter the odds by about 20% in the favor of the weapon you desire.
At the end we all know that as a gacha, this is working as intended for them so they're not gonna change it :'v
Yeah the rates are bad but this really only effects whales/moderate spenders as F2P players & low spenders should never summon on the weapon banner
Weapon banners need pity like character banners. They should have it so you can choose between the 5 star weapons currently featured on the banner when you hit pity.
impossible goal move pity for weapons down to 40 or 50 summons. Real goal only have new weapon on banner and have them run for 2 weeks then they could put up more weapon banners
I’ve never tried the weapon banner. Simply because they are ridiculous. Basically 25% chances on getting what I want and still 90 pity? Of the promotional wishes? God no. And on top of that, the other weapon is a STANDARD weapon. Ridiculous. I’m probably going to try on this one, but because the 4* are also good which is a first. I’m going to get Hu Tao really easy so I really want Homa, but as usual, MiHoyo just doesn’t want us to have the weapon we want. I would honestly demand for the banner to have only one 5* weapon, even if they have to make the banners shorter, I don’t care.

“For the rest of us little people”
Bruh…
It's ironic because Mihoyo probably would make more overall money doing weapon banners like this, but if they were to run just 1 5* weapon on a weapon banner (i.e. this banner was just Homa), I would actually pull/spend money on it and I'm sure other people would too. Who knows if that would end up being a net loss though.
The weapon banner shouldn't even exist. The weapons should be earnable in game, and earning the 5 star weapons should be part of the end game grind, prove me wrong.
I was honestly pulling hoping to get wolf's gravestone but I got staff of homa as my pity instead and just noped out of there real fast because I knew I'd used up all my luck
It needs to be a choice of one or the other when it comes to the featured weapon, that way everyone wins. Mihoyo will still get their money and the player will get the weapon they need.
This is how it should work. Weapon banner is not meant for everyone. A R5 weapon cost around 1k-1.5k.
I'm one of the casualties of the weapons banner ever since I decided to roll on it. I've been getting the 5* featured weapon that I don't prefer (The Unforged, Skyward Pride, and now 2 WGS). I had the same thoughts Demone that the banner needs some adjustments. I would love if they would just make us choose between the two rate-up weapons once we pulled for a 5* or at least have an alternating system in place for both rate up weapons. Your recommendation seems fine as well as long as they make the long overdue adjustments. Also, I just hope they clarify the true probability of getting each weapon because I think its not 50-50.
At least give us trade weapons function . Mihoyo put 2 weapons right? So we can trade 2 weapons that we dont want it to 1 weapon that we want.. Im more happier if i can trade 4 of my wgs with 2 homa
Yeah D I pulled 7 wolfs and a skyward blade before I saw a homa. Prolly not gonna summon on a weapon banner for a looooong time
They aren't gonna change it! Cause you have geniuses out there paying thousands of dollars for a damn weapon. Shit is insane
MIHOYO could maybe change the rates to
1. 25 % Random non-rate up
2. , 3. 25% + 25% One of the rate-ups
4. 25% A Token that you can exchange for one of the rate-up weapon
I am f2p but I would summon on the weapon banner if they just did this 😇
change weapon banner pity to 45 wishes
Take the 5 star weapons out of the character banner then they will be in the step of the right direction.
225 summons… No weapon he wants…
Wanted a jade cutter or jade spear last banner and I got an Atlas and Lost Prayer. I wanted WGS this banner and got a skyward harp. Done putting money in this game. ~$300 worth of summons for something that you don't want is definitely not worth it.
Mihoyo wont fix what aint broke (in their opinion). If they start loosing money on the banner they might change it.
Being allowed to chose the weapon you pull for would be great
they can do it alternately, like when you reach pity and got wgs next sure pity is soh (still have a chance to get non banner weapon)
I would make it so every new banner the first two five stars are guaranteed to be both weapons, for example 1st pull you get wolf 2nd pull you get Homa (the order you get them in would be random) and then after that it goes back to the current system where the whales can blow all their money for R5s.
Here’s a fix: when you get one of the featured 5 star at pity, the next guarantee 5 star weapon should be the one you didn’t get. Easy as that.
Omg… Yes!!! T-T… I did almost 60 wishes on this weapon banner and I got a Jade Spear, and I'm like: what the hell am I supposed to do with this?
agree with everything you said. except i don't think characters should be harder to get. I think characters should be easier to get because they are more important for players to enjoy the game. Weapons are just stat sticks so its fine if they are more difficult to get. Not defending the weapon banner which is ridiculous and will probably never roll again unless they change it.
2 seperate banners seems more likely
This has been a problem since the beginning, yet the whales keep spending on them, showing Mihoyo they don't need to change anything. Nothing is going to change if whales and content creators keep spending on them. It is simple, vote with your bank accounts. If they see Equipment banners not getting any attention from even the whales, the stakeholders will be concerned and eventually something will change.
Suggestion: A recycle system, like some sort of equipment that have 17 days (with battle pass) / 30 days (without battle pass) cool down , where we can dump the 5 starts weapon we don't want and rng to some other 5 stars from a gallery of player wishes list (maybe 5?). But they do need to fix the banner before hand.
They should alternate pity between the 2 weapons. For example, once you get the promotional 5 star, if the first one you got was Wolf’s, the next one will be Homa.
One thing that is really sus about the weapon banner is that lets say that you are guaranteed wolf or homa the banner details technically doesn't say that u have a 50 percent chance to get either of the 2 we just assume its 50 percent for all we know it can be in favor of the wolf
Here's your solution. Run weapon banner similar to the Character banner.
The "new, exclusive featured weapon" has 50% chance when you hit pity (assuming reset from past summons, or no pity built). If you DON'T get the exclusive, featured, limited-time weapon on your first try, it is GUARANTEED it next summon. If you lose the 50-50, ONE non-featured weapon has a HIGHER rate than the others.
Example: Homa is the exclusive, time-limited featured weapon. WGS is the non-exclusive featured weapon (that you would see a higher rate for if you lose the 50-50). If I have NO pity, and I hit summon a weapon, it's 50% to be Homa, and 50% to not be Homa. [50% Homa and 50% non-Homa; for Non-Homa summons, it's 75% WGS and 25% to be another 5* weapon]
If it's Homa, wooooo! If it's not, then it's okay because it's highly likely I'm getting WGS. (Also, wooo, and a win for someone wanting WGS); if I don't get Homa this time, I am guaranteed it next time.
What would this do if they changed it? More light spenders rolling on the banner; more whales R5ing the limited-time featured weapon, and potentially more F2P saving gems and rolling on weapon banner. It's money for Mihoyo, and happier players.
I would 100% pull if I knew I could get the featured weapon within 2 summons. Until then, I'll never spend money on the weapon banner.
This is a simple fix make it like the sds grand cross pity when u hit guaranteed rate up pity u get to choose what weapon u want
Regarding percentages. Your chance to pull a specific banner weapon from a weapon banner is 37.5% and 50% in case non banner weapon rolled last time with NO guarantee to ever pull specific banner weapon.
If they dont want to change it at least give an option of a 1 to 1 conversion
What's the kicker, though, Demone? lol
Solution: Submit in survey as a community for the weapon banner to be guaranteed and a choice of which weapon we want.
Honestly.. Idk if Mihoyo will ever release all map parts. Maybe Inazuma someday but that's it.
When they keep going like that they will get more and more negative PR as well as less players spending money (There will always be some whales). And if someday their profit decreases too much because of that they will reduce ads and eventually close the servers to save money. I don't think they actually care too much about the game itself and how players perceive it..
Mihoyo : Sorry if 2rate up weapon bannet isnt fair. We will make the adjustment later for 3 rate up weapon banner
You should be able to break down 5 star weapons to trade to the featured. For example you summon and on the summon screen you would get a choice to keep the weapon or breakdown into dust. This would limit people from scrapping weapons already pulled. The banner weapon could be in Paimon's shop for X amount of new dust, probably 2 5* weapons worth.
If I was to make changes although I know in the end, it's all about Mihoyo making money. I would say to half the rates for both banners (character takes 45, same pity system),(weapon banner is 30 instead so a bit under half, 1 pity could be anything displayed on the banner only and 2 pity would guarantee the banner weapon focus). I feel as these methods would be a lot more fair and still tempt players, especially f2p ones to buy primos yet also be a lot more reasonable on both banners, the weapon is a lot less due to having a lot more options.
