00 lessening?

[jobhobster]

For most of Limbus lifespan we almost always had 00 to accompany whatever 000 ID in the banner. But some time before S5, this began to change, with 9 Rodya, Zwei Ish, Priest Gregor and now Dulci Rodya lacking new 00 on their banner.
Do you think it's temporal change (time restraints, busy VA schedule, etc.), or PM is getting done with releasing new 00's constantly?

[Dangeki]

I think they want to get out the cooler characters of cantos/events (the ones people tend to be hyped for) that tend to be 000s

[A Terraria Mage]

I mean playing through canto 7 I felt like there weren’t maybe possibly any 00-able characters in the story. That dude from the fire office is like the only other candidate I can think of. Maybe intervallos will have more 00s

[Om3ga-Z3ro]

I have been thinking and worrying about that, they are releasing less 00's. It feels like they are taking the GBF route where they have completely abandoned R and SR units/summons and everyone are now SSR's. I just hope they don't do this. Last Whoopersnatch didn't have 00's, they had 2 000's and an EGO.

I wanted to bring this topic up as well but felt that no one wouldn't care.

Yeah, this is one of the things that's been going on for a while now... although the game launched with more 2-stars than 3-stars, that obviously wasn't going to last.

The simple answer is this: Limbus is a gacha game, and gacha games are designed to make money. The fact that if you do a single 10-pull on a banner in this game, the odds of obtaining the rate-up 2-star ID are already higher than 50% means that low-rarity units simply won't provide the steady source of revenue that PM is seeking from Limbus.

I really do wish they would occasionally release a banner with multiple 2-star IDs to even out the rarity distribution some more, since 2-stars are fantastic for new/F2P players due to their accessibility. However, if we're being realistic, that seems pretty unlikely.

And I'm not trying to bash on PM here for making this decision. Stuff like this is pretty much inevitable for ANY gacha game. For example, you could pull up the wiki for Fate/Grand Order and easily notice that the number of 4-star and 5-star units is absurd compared to the number of 1-stars, 2-stars, and 3-stars. That's just how it is for this genre.

00s aren't really any less effort for PM to make than a 000, but they don't get people interested, and they dont make PM money, so why waste effort on it?

The parade of 000's makes you question your f2p status? Are you wavering?

You're talking with 32k Lunacy on my account.
I just think it sucks because it gives us less units to play with and less opportunities to see. EG 00 Cassetti ID would go hard alongside 000 Dulci Rodya.

Rookie numbers, make it 50. WN is almost around the corner, those 32k will burn through it in an instant.

But if we're serious, kinda, I guess. Then again, the only one fitting for 00 is Casseti 00. At least it's not some random bloodbag. It's hard to tell what's going on with development anyway.

Was kinda hoping for a Bloodbag 00 ID that could act as a meat shield tank/support to help with the Bloodfeast but it seems like they put all that idea into one basket (Pregor).

[Birp]

That is true. New 00 ids are coming out less frequently than before, like back in season 1-2.

But on the other hand, new 00 ids are also better designed + are more useful than before. Quantity ↓ Quality ↑

[|Revenge|]

Tbh we dont really have that many characters that are 00 material. The lamanchaland trio could only be 000. Even cassete feels like a 000 imo. Maybe we could get that fire something fixer office as material for 00 ID's.

What do you mean? There are the many different Bloodfiends (Fashionista, Parade, "Ghost") and Bloodbags that could be 00, hell they could've added the Bear as a 00 for Heathcliff (Would be awesome and hilarious). If they don't have enough materials for 00's they could make units outside of the Canto like they have done before.

[Astra]

I'll be honest, I miss when the 00s were the ones you needed for more count application while the 000 were the damage dealers/gimmicks. Like, it'll never not be funny how most of the 00 Rupture ID's actually apply more rupture count than the 000s.

Case in point, seven heath and Rose Gregor. (Before you go on about it, its very conditional though. 5 Charge + Tremor burst gets you I think 5 Count of rupture. Add in AEDD which he fuels perfectly and that increases more.)

I kinda dislike where things are going myself, though some people enjoy the feeling of nuking enemies. I actually dislike it and enjoy the long drawn out fights that keep you thinking and on your toes.

Screw 00's, they are usually aren't that fun to play with anyway. The only 00's I actually had fun with were 00 KK Hong Lu back in the day with his sweet 4x 00, and T-corp rodion with her beatdowns. And the recent glitch with Lantern Don, but that's about it.

And I kinda like it when the interesting stuff is kept to story content and 00's are pushed on generic banners or unimportant ones, like with the first banner of the Canto.
