Gacha mechanics are a pivotal element of Honkai Star Rail, and it appears that miHoYo, now known as HoYoverse, is set to enhance player control over character pulls. Exciting leaks indicate major updates to the banner system coming in version 3.2, promising a revitalized approach to the game's gacha mechanics.
Insider reports from Sakura Haven reveal that the 3.2 update will introduce a groundbreaking customizable pity system for limited banners. Rather than being confined to a fixed pool of characters for 50/50 pity pulls, players will now have the freedom to select their preferred characters from a curated set. These selections can partially or completely replace the default pool, offering players greater influence over their rewards.

Currently, the 50/50 pity pool includes 7 standard characters. With the version 3.2 update, this will evolve into a 'Group' of characters from which you can choose. You'll have the option to select 7 characters from this 'Group,' which will then form your personalized 50/50 pity pool. This means that if you lose a 50/50 roll, you'll be awarded a character from your custom pool, rather than the default standard set.
The 'Group' will initially encompass the 7 standard characters along with a limited selection of additional characters to choose from.
This update has the potential to significantly elevate the player experience by minimizing frustration and enhancing flexibility. By allowing players to tailor their pity pool, miHoYo addresses a key grievance about gacha systems: the unpredictability of losing pity rolls. With the ability to prioritize specific characters, players will have a better chance of acquiring units that align with their playstyle or preferences.
However, specifics on which characters will be available in the selectable pool are still under wraps. It remains to be seen whether the pool will include past limited characters, current banner units, or entirely new additions.
These proposed changes underscore miHoYo's continuous efforts to improve Honkai Star Rail and make it more player-centric. By introducing a customizable pity system, the developers are recognizing the value of player choice in gacha games. This initiative could establish a new benchmark for similar systems in other titles.
While the full implementation and impact of this feature are yet to be realized, the announcement has already generated excitement within the community. Players are eagerly anticipating how these changes will influence their gameplay experience when Honkai Star Rail 3.2 is released.
