Lets talk about 2.7 and Honkai Star Rail in general

Disclaimer before I begin, I love Honkai Star Rail, I play it pretty much everyday and love (most of it anyway) the characters and story. But I have some problem with this game.

Firstly I will adress one thing, there is too much 5 stars characters in so little time. Two 5 stars characters every patch (except 2.6). So, the problem that come with so many 5 stars back to back are :

  • The rerun are really unbalanced, 4 characters every patch, 2 of them taken by the new characters, 2 rerun and because there is 2 characters every patch well character that already reran, like Seele or Silver Wolf for exemple, take too much time to rerun. Ok, yes, they are pretty much dead in the meta but some people pull the character because they like it, not because it's a good characters in gameplay.
  • If you're into the meta, you're pretty fucked if you don't pay tbh. 90~ f2p pulls every patch for 2 characters and 2 lightcone... Except if you're the luckiest player of them all, it's really not good. The FOMO is really too much in this game, expecially when the meta change so much. Like, for exemple for this patch it make sense for people to want the 2 new character. Why ? Well Fugue to remplace HMC when he will become RMC for the new meta, and Sunday to buff the new Remembrance meta.

Now I will adress the second thing, not enough event in this game. 2.7 is probably the worst we ever had so far, except if I don't recall correctly, because 3 weeks of NOTHING except of permanent (and really short) event and story it's just horrible. Also, less events mean less pulls for the f2p, and with the two 5 stars characters that come every patch... Well you see what I mean. I know a Gacha exist for the FOMO but here it's just too stupid for nothing. Ok yes, there is the Simulated Universe sometimes but most of the time it take little time to clear the things that give pulls and the hard and difficult thing give nothing at all except what, a success and 20k credits so I don't really want to do those things, I don't have my candy at the end of the trial

Anyway, to conclude and a TL;DR for the other, the game is pretty much empty most of the time in term of things to do (except farm) and even if it seems generous sometimes, the fact that everytime two 5 stars come every patch (with most of the time NO 4 STARS, we got 3 during 2.X + March), the FOMO is just too great for nothing, especially for someone who is not a Day One player like me.

I would really love to know how other think of what I'm saying here, if they agree or not.
