Don't you think they went too far this time?

Hey Guys!
When I saw they released another summer banner and kept 2 special heroes banner instead of some new heroes I kinda think they went too far.
Launching special heroes is what they do now that legendary banners are a thing, but I think it's too much. Why 2 summer banners?
I know this game is a sugar rush race. You do EXACTLY the same thing, play the same game countless time to get rewards that get you heroes to play the same game to get rewards, an infinite cycle. But so many special heroes at a time is very offensive and disrespectful with players.
I think even Paying players are getting annoyed by this.
What do you think guys?

It's pretty much to get the most out of the summer vacation season. Last year, we also had two summer banners and I haven't encountered anyone who would have any real issues with it.
The amount of banners doesn't seem like a problém to me at all (even though they are seasonal heroes). If you are a rationally thinking person, you will state your priorities and summon only on one banner or even none of them...there is no need to try a bit of everything and I'd be guessing that even paying players will have at least similar reasoning.

Annoying as f***. Not only we have 4 summer banners atm, they will remain during 30 days. Is a tricky way of fill the calendar. If only they had half the duration letting side to other banners...

How long from the last Sword of Seals banner? Stop with the alters (or atleast, make alters for other character instead of the same 6-7) and bring us new iconic character like Pent, Gerik, Haar, Geese, Shinon...

Are you dumb? JUst because they last 30 days doesn't mean it takes 30 days for the next banner to appear, which you would have known if you, you know, used your brain. Sorry to be so rude but seeing such a faulty logic when there is the latest banner clearly proving you false because it released two weeks after the first summer banner, just irritates me. The 30 day duration only means you get more chance at getting them special heroes, as they are limited. It does NOT mean you have to wait longer for new heroes appear, and the event schedule clearly states new heroes will be added in two weeks, which is the regular interval, again.

Agree with this; 30 days means I get to wait for the new heroes on the 20th and the legendary at the end of the month before deciding where I fire

I never say it takes 30 days for the next banner. Your reading comprehension is so bad dude.

What I said is: In those 30 days of "Summer arrival" it could be 15 days of "Summer arrival" and 15 days of "Friendly Enemies", a banner with Vaida, Duessel, Aran and Beowulf, for example.

Ey, but it's easier to be disrespectful than take time to read twice. "Sorry to be so rude" more like "Sorry, not sorry"

Do you like to have 30 days the same banner? Good for you, I don't. Give me more variety in the same period. After the first week, I wont spend orbs that I havent spent yet.

Have a nice day ;)

I really dont care.
I play it since week 2 and never spent money on it. I already have OP units that can do any challenge in this game and get to ranking 20 in arena, so i just log in, get my free orbs, do some new stages to get orbs and try to summon a charracter that i liked, S or F tier doesnt matter, cause i probably wont use.
If i get them, nice, one more to my collection.
If dont, well, just move on.

I need to follow this mindset, you have the discipline. Im getting baited to spend. I gotta get my sh** together.

I spent a small amount money twice on this game. From my experience, money doesn't get you anywhere in this game unless you go full whale and are ready to pay 100s of $$$. If you buy 75 orbs, which is about what you'd pay for a full priced game, theres a decent chance you'll get nothing out of it, least of all the thing you want.

In my personal opinion, the best way to go about this is asking yourself: Do you have fun with this game? I've had fun with this game for over a year, I don't mind paying a little for all the fun experiences I had. I usually dont play full-price games this long, so when I reach a point where I can say "yeah okay I've had enough fun for two full-price games" then I am ready to pay again.
But do NOT use money as a means to get heroes you want, because quite frankly, the exchange rates are, well, not awful but also not really good. If you can farm 300+ orbs in game every month, and those aren't enough to get you the heroes you want, then 75 from about 50 bucks probably won't mean a thing, either.

Last year we also had two summer banners, so it's a trend to follow. In ten days we should be getting new heroes anyway.
I'm more so a bit bothered by the orb dry spell we had for a bit but TT is coming along to help with that.
I really don't care how many banners we have, since I'm not gonna pull from all of them. I pulled from the first one and got lucky with Tana and Innes. This one I'm hoping for a Takumi. If I get him, cool. If I don't, then there's always a Legendary banner ahead or the hypothetical banner revival next year.
I actually really prefer seasonal banners. They're so much more fun. I almost never summon on non-seasonals.
To be fair, I don't have the incessant NEED to get everyone from every banner. I just pick one or two heroes to roll for and that takes me far TBH. Unless it's a Legendary banner. ... Yeah, those never go well for me.

Same tbh. Well it's not the seasonal thing that does it for me, rather I'm the most excited about heroes when they are released new, coming with new interesting skills that can lead to a unique playstyle, and the more interesting skills often come on seasonal heroes.

And it's not just their skills, when it comes to artwork or voice lines, special heroes tend to be more, well, special while if you compare heroes like Eirika and Ephraim with their non-seasonal Alts, they pretty much look the same save for a few changes. It just seems overall less interesting than having a hero in an attire that you do not usually see them in.

1 out of 3 or 4 sharing 3% is significantly better than 1 out of 12 sharing 8%, plus your pity rate will get busted by a colour-sharing 5* more often on the 8% banner. It's a very bad idea to pull for 1/12 on 8%.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, and it didn't come as a surprise, either. They just did the exact same thing they did last year and they announced the schedule clearly saying we get special heroes a month ago. If you are disappointed, then you just weren't paying attention. The only difference is that now special banners are open for a month instead of half, and they chose to bring last years special heroes back. Neither of these choices do irritate me, and seriously, why would it? I don't know a single soul who would complain about better chances at getting the heroes you want, and if you dont want them, just wait until they release a banner you like. It's not like there is no non-special heroes for you to summon atm, The Luna banner is pretty sweet and in the following month, I see a Distant Def banner (which most likely means Celica + Micaiah + Rhajat) and a Fighter skill banner (most likely Fallen Hardin + Fallen Robin (m) + Effie).

Last year there were also two seperate summer banners with the ylissean summer in june and nohrian summer in july, and assume they keep a similar banner release pattern this year it makes perfect sense to get two banners. From what you're saying it kinda seems like you are getting either bored with gameplay or not enjoying the gacha gamestyle. Launching special heros has always been a thing since the games release, generally with the seasons or major holidays like spring (the easter banners) summer (current banners) autum (halloween banner and last years performing arts banner) and then the winter banners (winters envoy and new years) it's pretty likely we will get reruns of the old banners and new ones. It's really not disrespectful either because say I didnt get summer Frederick last year, well I've gotten another chance with the banner this year and thankfully got him :)

Yep, as a “dolphin”, I’m getting annoyed. Camilla and Takumi shouldn’t have 3 unnecessary alts each while there are still HUNDREDS of characters from the Fire Emblem series they haven’t added yet.

Ok, as a paying player I think you deserve a say in that, but aren't we discussing the amount of new units and they way they're getting offered to us?

Oh but i am; What i’m trying to say is that they’re releasing way too many alts. Sorry if i was unclear lmao

If the number of new units with inheritable meta-changing skills (I'm talking bold fighter level or steady breath level) or who are in themselves meta-changing (Ayra and B.Lyn for instance) comes at more than one or two per month on different banners, I would say it's insulting. I believe we have enough orbs to grab at least one if we spend orbs carefully, so any more will make it difficult stay in the game without paying.

Why does it matter that they are seasonals and not simply new heroes? If they released new units with Karla-level power who weren't redundant with current threats (ex: we already need to deal with Ayra so Karla isn't meta-changing) and did it on two separate banners in a month, I would be indignant. SF Nino is speed powercreep, but L&D Celica with Ragnarok has been at 46 speed for a while now, and regular Nino is normally quite fast too. This flying Tiki is getting close with her ridiculous 168BST, built-in steady breath, speed, and 16-mt anti-dragon weapon (granted, Nowi and Fae and regular Y.Tiki achieve similar stat totals with a weapon refine and flying Tiki doesn't have one). Not quite there, I think, because it's not like we haven't played steady breath dragons for almost a year or something like that? and her low HP makes aether a lot less effective. Thunder Armads is maybe there, because it doesn't block his own double and he can get OP with bold fighter + QR, but the guy hasn't caused me major issues in arena/AA yet, and as far as theory goes, Lilina, Sanaki, and armoursmasher (or even Warrior Princess with flier buffs) still OHKO him like the other Hectors. So as much as there is an illusion of these units being must-get, I think they aren't, which means as far as staying in the game that we could have passed up every banner this month and waited for another opportunity to get these units. If one cannot stand holding orbs to fire strategically and insists on never having more than 60-120 orbs, they're also making it easy for you. Funnily enough, then, I conclude that they're actually being reasonable. The powercreep is a bit quick recently, and that's frustrating, but it doesn't seem to have gone to the point where there's not much of a choice but to summon.

Now, if CYL2 comes with a bunch of meta-changing stuff like CYL1 and they throw a legendary banner at us simultaneously with an incredible legendary, maybe we have an issue.

I'm a little annoyed at the rate of Banners we are getting, but on the plus side, that is really just more ways to get cheap fodder, and maybe a 5 star or two along the way. If you save up 15 orbs, use them with your free roll in a summoning session, and you effectively end up paying 3 orbs/hero. I've already gotten a Sword Lucina from one of them, +HP -Res, nice for the pseudo-healer set.

If your goal is to have all the characters yeah thats a bit to much,but if your like me and only want 1(summer elise,scared xander is going show so I refuse to summon) out of all of them then It doesn't bother you.
