Throwing for your favorite waifu and being left
empty-handed after spending thousands of gems is any player's worst nightmare.
To try to solve this headache, the famous mobile video game Blue
Archive announced a total reform of its student recruitment system.
However, the sudden way in which the news was presented generated so much
confusion that the general producer of the title himself, Kim Yong-ha,
had to publicly apologize to fans.
『ブルーアーカイブ』の統括プロデューサーのキム・ヨンハです。

今回の生徒募集システムのリニューアルに関し、先生方に多大なる不安と困惑を与えてしまいました。
ご迷惑をおかけしてしまい、誠に申し訳ございません。…
The major update, which comes into
effect after the maintenance on July 29, permanently removes the permanent
standard draft and the old points system to implement the new call
charge mechanism. From now on, each roll adds a counter that doesn't
reset between different promotions until you get the outstanding student. When
you reach one hundred attempts, the gacha guarantees you a
three-star character with a 50% chance that it will be the girl in the banner,
while when you reach two hundred rolls the promotional student is 100% secured
in your hands.
Although the intention of the development
team was to reduce the stress of users by accumulating the progress of
rolls and giving away tickets of ten recruits for goals achieved, the warning
came practically a day after being implemented. Kim Yong-ha acknowledged that
the lack of anticipation led to distrust in the community,
admitting that prior communication was totally lacking. The producer promised
that from now on they will prioritize the stability of the service and give
warnings much more calmly to regain the credibility of their followers.
Considering that keeping the roll counter
between different banners is something that many mobile game players could only
dream of
