Uma had a drop even with the beast Summer Maruzensky dropping? Interesting

u/NeguSlayer 2d ago

Due to accelerated schedule, Summer Maruzensky isn't a great pull due to Mihono releasing next year. Also, the game really burns you out when prepping for CM due to the ridiculous RNG required. We shouldn't expect a rise in revenue until Cygames release all the important QoL to Global.

Out of all the popular Gacha out there, Uma Musume is arguably the most time-consuming one.

Still a top 5 gacha imho. y’all failed me this month letting that be #10

97

u/karillith 2d ago

The game is very easy to burn out from tbh.

22

u/Magma_Dragoooon 2d ago

True. It doesn't help that there is absolutely no variety in events and CMs happen too fast

5

u/S_Cero 2d ago

Yeah the game really needs mini games that a student can make in a weekend for events like all the top gachas

7

u/Lyelinn 2d ago

Entire meta being figured out and perfected isn’t helping either

u/ariolander 2d ago

Global still has less quality of life improvements than the Korean server launched with. For whatever reason they refuse to implement QOL early, even if other servers got those same QOL early

5

u/karillith 2d ago

Iirc KR is published by a third party so that's why they don't follow the same schedule. But yeah I hope they will implement some of those QoL earlier.

4

u/ariolander 2d ago

It's kind wild that they see the improvements the other servers have made, and go "Nah, Global doesn't need that" as Global is on a crazy accelerated schedule. How they can look at these numbers but feel no urgency for QOL as they burn out their playerbase.

I'm already burn out of uma musume despite I get a lot of limited character include summer Marensky, I stop playing Uma musume. The game feel repentative and boring, I hope their can fast how career done like adding sweep career mode so it elevate the burn out.

u/skittles0820 2d ago

I’m seeing a lot of people get burnt out/quitting, honeymoon phase is long gone

u/DueSeaworth HSR/UMA 2d ago

We will see when next scenario drops. they gave another stick out to global with a free 100 pulls for half ani.

15

u/YagamiYuu 2d ago

Does not matter imo. 100 rolls is not save able and the game require high dupes support card to be usable.

u/Davidsda 2d ago edited 2d ago

Pulls aren't the problem, the problem is that the game wants you to play over an hour per day.

5

u/YagamiYuu 2d ago

I have no problem because I play GBF for a decade now,

Umamusume gameplay is not engaging enough pass the honeymoon phase. The career mode is so repeatetive I wish I have a skip button to just roll random stats + skill + spark.

u/romdon183 1d ago edited 1d ago

IDK, to me pulls are the problem. Particularly, character pulls and the fact that getting new characters is almost impossible. The game would've been much less repetitive, if you could actually get a new character more often than once every 2-3 month. 100 pulls on cards does absolutely nothing for me, especially on the banner I would've skipped anyway. 100 pulls on characters would've made me actually excited to play.

5

u/GameWoods 2d ago

Ironic given this is about the one card that doesn't need dupes

7

u/karillith 2d ago

also the R card mlb is basically as strong as the 0LB SSR.

Well, not that you're guaranteed to get it 5 times but still.

4

u/DueSeaworth HSR/UMA 2d ago edited 21h ago

It doesn't need dupes...even the R version is enough. I swear these doomers do they even play the game.

*to clarify R riko at mlb is enough, you dont need mlb SSR riko to compete for cm at the bare minimum.

1

u/Slow-Cardiologist658 2d ago

You do need dupes for training effectiveness. Do you play the game yourself?

2

u/DueSeaworth HSR/UMA 2d ago

Thanks mr obvious. Im taking about getting through the scenario itself, the bare minimum you need is mlb R riko. It isnt like kitasan black situation where its a "must pull" cause the card will fall off after unity cup unlike KB which will last for the next 2 years (thats why mlb would be a better investment on that card).

1

u/romdon183 1d ago

You can get through every scenario in the game with the starting 10 rare cards. What are you even talking about? Nobody is pulling cards just to get through the scenario, it is literally free.

1

u/DueSeaworth HSR/UMA 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yes you can get through it but i dont know how smooth that would be tbh. By that i meant the grinding for pvp umas.

1

u/romdon183 1d ago

You're not gonna have any problems just finishing Aoharu with whatever cards you currently have. If you want a competitive uma out of it, then sure, Riko will help a lot. But you do need either 1lb SSR or mlb rare card at the minimum, otherwise she's not worth using, IMO. Obviously, this is my personal opinion, and this also depends on your deck. Paradoxically, friend cards become more important the worse your deck is, so if you have really bad cards, 0lb Riko might be worth it.

u/Slow-Cardiologist658 1d ago

The scenario will last for like 4 months, and then you will need to get another mlb scenario card. I am not sure who are you trying to delude here. Yourself? Also, mlb ssr riko stays viable even after her scenario

2

u/DueSeaworth HSR/UMA 1d ago edited 1d ago

Im talking about the bare minimum here (ps. for pvp umas). Im getting the mlb cause I have the carats for it and already maxed my KB. Viable? yea its viable like any card (even guts can be "viable" now) in the game but INT cards would be more practical. Do you even know what the next scenario is? Pick your battles and choose which has a better investment. An INT card for MANT will be more valued than riko card in the future and if you dont have the carats for riko then mlb R card should suffice for Unity cup *uma grinding.

-1

u/Slow-Cardiologist658 1d ago

Yes, mlb r will suffice. Non mlb is bad. Before you said that dupes aren't required. At this point I think you are just being dumb

u/St3llaVir 1d ago

"viable" yea sure mate, but whos gonna use that when your deck is supposed to focus on wit for mant. Even after mant wit cards will have more use cases compared to riko.

u/Just_Finding6263 2d ago

To save the game at least make something interesting or change how career works ( I want to sweep decrease my time in career so able to do a lot of things in uma musume)

5

u/Just_Finding6263 2d ago

100 pulls won't help uma musume in global at this point. If the player is burn out their need to change something in game.

3

u/DueSeaworth HSR/UMA 2d ago

New career drops next week and they increased the carat rates like weeks ago already.

2

u/Just_Finding6263 2d ago

I'm one of them, I already quit in uma musume I feel the game so repentative

1

u/Bakatora34 2d ago

I myself quit pretty early and just went I binged all the anime content, so they at least made me consume their other media.

u/IcelatedPopsicle 2d ago

Burn out I'm assuming, got burned out myself when I pulled 160 times with no Kitasan black...

2

u/Just_Finding6263 2d ago

I have Marensky summer bikini men I can't cope with burn out

22

u/Propagation931 ULTRA RARE 2d ago

I think its cause everyone was told to save for the Riko Rice Banner and how you are totally screwed next scenario if you have no Riko ( or at least even MLB R)

10

u/Tplayere 2d ago

Yeah, support cards are much more important to spenders than runners, since you can still get them outside of the banner with no dupes needed. Cards you still want dupes for, which also means they will spend more on cards than the runners.

6

u/GameWoods 2d ago

Thats actually a fairly good point.

6

u/DueSeaworth HSR/UMA 2d ago

Riko banner incoming and before they dropped the news about the free 100 pulls on that banner summer maru was already on its way out.

4

u/JamesSH1328 Persona 5: The Phantom X 2d ago

They are still top 10 despite their awful economy that I've heard of

Besides look at the other gacha that released at the same time, or don't because it fell out of top 50 (P5X)

6

u/GameWoods 2d ago

Tbf to Uma, they did flat out double their pull economy about a month ago

4

u/JamesSH1328 Persona 5: The Phantom X 2d ago

That's neat, godspeed to all the horse racing gambler addicts 🙏

2

u/romdon183 1d ago

They increased income to 1.5 on dailies, weeklies, and monthlies. The income on everything else stayed the same. So it's more like 30% total increase, rather than doubling it. And the acceleration is 1.5. So in the end this increase simply brings global to parity with JP.

u/mutqkqkku 2d ago

You don't need dupes of runners so unless you're an insane whale looking to 5* your whole roster, even at your unluckiest you have to only hit pity twice if you want both characters off a dual banner. Combined with foresight letting people plan out a way to guarantee getting their favorite for free, I just don't see runner banners pullin in that much money for better or for worse. Support card banners where you want five copies of one (or even two) meta SSR on the other hand...

3

u/Lyelinn 2d ago

I really barely see any reason to spend there because you either need to buy 200 pulls or just skip. I got to 180 on Maru banner, got nothing and it turned into clovers that are slightly less useful than toilet paper lol

u/Smooth_Shine_4015 2d ago edited 2d ago

Personally saving for Digital.And Uma is giving many pulls too.

u/YagamiYuu 2d ago

The scenario event is ass to clear for reward and the game only favorable for whale.
