Genshin Impact: Taking the World by Storm!

After half an hour, Snowflake Games officially issued a concise announcement, not directly responding to various voices on the Internet, but providing an explanation of the card drawing mechanism.

In short:

UP Pool:

Every 90 draws will provide a small guarantee, and every 180 draws will provide a big guarantee. The small guarantee may skew towards a permanent character, while the big guarantee will definitely yield the current character. The UP of this issue will be inherited to the next draw.

Weapon Pool:

Different from the god-shaped set that appeared in version 2.0 in previous iterations, John Doe directly introduced it in version 1.0. It's similar to the UP pool, but the small guarantee is increased to two times. Every 80 draws will provide a small guarantee, and the fixed rail will be full. The weapon pool will also carry over to the next draw.

Permanent Pool:

Unlike the UP and weapon pools, which introduce new characters and weapons with version updates, the permanent pool will always feature those characters. Every 90 draws will give you a five-star item, and the weapon or character will appear immediately.

With a large number of players pouring into Genshin Impact, many players naturally paid attention to the official announcement from Snowflake Games. As soon as this description was released, many players took notice.

"So it is!"

"That means if I draw my favorite character, 80 draws will definitely yield a character, right? But the small guarantee may be skewed?"

"Is there a difference between skewed and not skewed?"

"In other words, I hope I get a skewed draw. I like Keqing so much; give me a few skewed draws!"

"+1"

"I prefer Diluc. His strength is unmatched, especially in the deep spiral next to Mondstadt. With Diluc, I'll conquer it!"

"Diluc Chef +1"

"It turns out there is such a mechanism for drawing cards. Within a fixed number of times, weapons or characters will definitely be released. What about those who said that drawing cards was gambling?"

"Does your family have a fixed number of gambling games?!"

"Snowflake's instructions directly slap those critics in the face. The game is so free, and they still find reasons to complain."

"The game doesn't force you to spend money. You can find anchor points, treasure chests, and search for Anemoculus to get Primogems. If you save enough, it's not hard to make 80 draws, right?"

"And even if you don't spend money, you've experienced everything the game has to offer. Can other games give you this for free?"

"What we spend is for the love of the characters, to support the game. It's voluntary, as if someone forced you."

"Our domestic game finally produced a high-quality product. Even if we spend money, we support the game. You can't afford it and complain about it being free? What's wrong with you?"

Many netizens commented below the announcement.

Support domestic games.

Support Genshin Impact.

These are all spontaneous by netizens, completely out of their love for the game.

Of course, there are also some commentators that John found.

"Why do I feel that some people don't want to see domestic games succeed, and they deliberately stir things up? I heard that Penguin Games has also launched a mobile game recently. Knowing Penguin's reputation, how do I feel this is related to them?"

"Inside news: I heard that Penguin saw the sales of Genshin Impact in the past two days and wanted to acquire Snowflake Games, but they refused!"

"Um!!"

"Could it be that the recent controversy is really Penguin looking for online trolls?!"

"Knowing Penguin, if they see a good game, they either buy or copy it. Are they trying to buy Snowflake?"

"F**k!"

"If Genshin Impact is acquired by them, what will it look like in the end? They'd definitely make it unplayable!"

"I searched for Snowflake and Penguin just now. Guess what I found? It turns out that the two companies have had grievances for a long time. Penguin's last musical rhythm game copied Snowflake's game. They went to court, and Snowflake's original game nearly went bankrupt!"

"Thanks to Snowflake for surviving and making Genshin Impact, but I didn't expect Penguin to be shameless again!"

"F**k, it's really a big company bullying a small company, right!"

"No!"

"Our domestic game has finally produced a high-quality product, and it's free for everyone to enjoy. There aren't many game companies with such integrity. I'm going online to spend $99 now. You must stand up to Snowflake, and don't let Penguin overwhelm you!"

"The reason our domestic games have never been great is because of companies like Penguin. Now a rising star has finally emerged. We players must stand firm for Snowflake!"

"Stand +1"

"Stand +1"

"Stand +1"

"Why did I even buy Penguin's Wilderness Journey yesterday? Fortunately, it's been less than 24 hours, so I'll refund it now."

"If I have this money, I might as well draw a Keqing!"

"I'm going to get a refund too. After playing Desert Journey for 10 minutes, I got nauseated. Compared with Genshin Impact, it's just rubbish. Better to draw Diluc!"

"Hey, Keqing and Diluc are yours, I'll take Qiqi away."

...

Looking at the evolution of comments from supporting Snowflake Games to refunding Desert Journey, John Doe did not expect this development at all.

He looked up at Chris: "Is this also your line to the commentators?"

"Uh... not."

Chris said, "I just told them to support our game and let go of our previous grievances with Penguin. I don't know why they refunded."

"Probably, this is public opinion."

The plagiarism and acquisition tactics of Penguin Games have always been seen by players, but they never had an opportunity to act.

Now that Snowflake Games emerged, players suddenly saw hope.

Players who have been frustrated by Penguin for a long time have resisted collectively and all stood up to support Snowflake and domestic games!

Penguin Games.

To be honest, Penguin, who originally planned to use online trolls to attack Snowflake Games, did not expect the plot to develop like this at all.

Especially when a large number of players really started to refund Desert Journey.

One of the nice things about the buyout system is that players can get a refund if they are not satisfied within 24 hours of purchasing the game.

When I saw that more and more refund messages appeared later, the Penguins panicked.

"What's the situation!"

"Didn't you say that you were hiring online trolls to attack Snowflake Games? Why did so many people suddenly come to refund our game?"

20,000...100,000...200,000!!!

The number of refunds is constantly increasing.

This speed is many times faster than the sales speed of their games, and everyone at Penguin was dumbfounded.

Jack's eyes were full of shock when he heard the news reported by his subordinates.

"Could it be that this is public opinion?"

"Even if Snowflake is serious, they are really making games with their hearts. Even if they are serious, players are willing to pay for it."

"Penguins have always been making money with their hearts and playing games with their feet..."

"My original intention when I entered this industry was to make money or to make games? Is this so-called Penguin Factory still aligned with my original intention?"

At this moment, Jack's heart was shaken.
