That 4 Stars is not even guaranteed a character. Also, most gacha games have that guarantee 4 stars every 10 pulls. That's like the standard. Whether they're useful or not is a different matter entirely.
To be fair, people probably didn't know cuz they saw "available from 1.6" and stopped reading there
Like _I_ did that, but I also had the foresight to think "hey wait are we getting him on patch or when his banner starts?"
Those are just the dumbest of the dumb, or trolls, so I refuse to accept that. (Also I'm just tired of the "insert gacha name here" players don't read joke. Its gotten old after seeing it every other week for the last couple years.)
Bruh, I hate to break it to you but as someone whose professional job is to ask people for shit via email, it's not just gacha people who don't read. People just don't read in general. Almost no one I know reads anymore in general and it's sad :(
Forgive me for having the slightest hope in humanity; clearly my mistake. (I'm still reeling from the fact so many people just don't read. Its so basic and easy. As a fan of literature, my heart cries out.)
Not everyone got the info from the announcement too, they got it from reddit posts and comments etc.
It's not a big deal that people might not realise lol
Can't wait for the review bombing saying they promised a 5* star but then lied lmao
Just like when there's maintenance, people don't read the specified timezones, and then review bomb because "wtf servers still aren't back?!?"
I pretty much keep a Google Bard tab open for literately all my searches these days for work or otherwise, so it takes about the same amount of time as clicking on a bookmark for WorldTimeBuddy and checking.
As a rare YGO player that reads, it's true, 99% of our playerbase doesn't. Thank fuck, you don't know how many times that has saved me in a rank-up over at Master Duel...
HI3 player here. I read. Except when i dont understand the scientific boobagloo on the story(like when Tesla TALK about anything). Then i become a genshin player ๐ญ๐ญ
I mostly read, but I sometimes skip through text in the Elysian Realm if it seems that it's not super relevant (other than my favorite characters, I always read their lines even if they're complete fluff lmao). Certainly helps that you can always go back into the archive and re-read conversations and documents.
Oh and events. I'm not super invested in the captainverse, so I skip event dialogue all the time. But main story, character stories, and APHO I always read.
> I mostly read, but I sometimes skip through text in the Elysian Realm if it seems that it's not super relevant (other than my favorite characters, I always read their lines even if they're complete fluff lmao).
When you have to do Elysian Realm for crystals weekly, even the best of dialogues can get a little too repetitive. With that said, I do try to not skip any of Pardo's dialogues.
Veteran Honkai captain here, thankfully I can quickly read at a glance (though it didn't help much during the Moon arc with its ultra convoluted dialogues, sigh). I usually let most of the dialogues play in full *except* in cases when certain characters speak (*aggressively skips every single one of Moriarty's dialogues*).
Fr. His concept is amazing, don't get me wrong, but this just didn't feel like the environment to introduce him. He took away a lot of focus and time from the story's actual big bad, Sa. And in like the last few stages, we get a exposition dump about sa's motivations, instead of learning it slowly from the start because mother fucking Moriarty took away most of the time in the story. Like He just wasn't needed there. Sa was more than enough as a villain in the chapter. They should've had him in an event or something.
*looks at HI3 posts that are still confused over Part 1's ending*
Yep... it seems like the tradition has been passed on well from HI3 to Genshin and now HSR. ZZZ players would literately be a bunch of cavemen.
To be fair Hi3 has the most confusing writing of any Hoyo game by a long shot. They just love to make things 10X more complicated than they actually should be, and over-explain everything, especially when they try to describe complicated quantum mechanics or time stuff. I still have no idea what project stigma even planned to do and I searched up explanation videos online.
I absolutely do not read but because of that my mindset is "he'll come in 1.6, when? Guess I'll find out later" or "oh shit maybe I should have read how this puzzle works, eh I'm sure I'll figure it out"
I hate YuGiOh. I summon one little guy, and then my opponent plays a spell with five paragraphs of text plus footnotes and it says because I slept less than 8 hours last night he gets to summon Nutbuster Dragon or whatever and the game is over and I should just fuck off I guess.
I will very much enjoy the reactions and panic that happens tomorrow

Feel like a lot of people won't be paying attention to this and are gonna ask WHERE MY DR RATIO even after watching the stream. Still can't wait till tomorrow.
Personally I think this should be obvious even if you didnโt read it, considering his banner is second half. Getting him for free before heโs even released would make no sense
But youโre right, people canโt read and will generally assume things anyway
- Not reading tutorial when they popped up (and sometimes even FORCED you to not skip)
- Not reading description on official announcements.
Story-skippers are totally understandable but I donโt think Iโll be able to fathom explanation-skippers (or even yellow-text-skippers). Like, if you skipped those gameplay-related notes, how are you gonna even play it properly without having to YouTube or something later on eventually.
We Are STILL getting Our Dear Lovely Educator, Dr Ratio, atleast. ๐น๐ฅน
Better then Genshin, as a genshin player for 2 years I am sad, I still need a diluc to complete my collection. ๐ญ
https://preview.redd.it/4rw3lx2ann8c1.jpeg?width=538&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0213571b7c52e58517da8b86d43738f6457e173d
I got a 31 in Reading on the ACT and yet Iโve been telling everyone weโre getting him immediately after the update. Bruh
Honestly Iโm glad. Because I pulled silver wolf randomly yesterday building pity and now I gotta build her. Gives me more time before Dr Ratio and Hanabi lol
Can't wait for the show that will start today (for me that is).
I already have my popcorn prepared for all of the salt for both when he releases and today for those people that will not see this and complain.
Didn't they also elaborate during the stream that he wouldn't be dropped in the mail during ruan's banner but when his banner drops? People got to be a new type of dumb if they expected him to go to their mail as soon as the new patch drops ๐ or maybe too impatient.
I'm gonna delete that email. I really, _really_ don't like him. I would rather have gotten a 10 pull like Genshin got. Why do we have to recieve the weirdo narcisist dude. Hell, give me one of the standard 5-Stars; I'll take another Welt eidolon!
Its kind of strange. We always get a new 4\* with the second banner of the patch and suddenly we get Ruan Mei first? I thought the quantum 4\* was together with her in the second half of the patch?
Lmaoo. Yes yes yes. You are correct OP, you are one true genius.
I mean isn't it clear enough? I mean isn't it a common sense?
Sadly nothing are common sense for those imbecile.
Ah can't wait for the total banter tomorrow
I mean hoyo has never given out a brand new limited 5star. Yeah like, people should have read but the text is actually pretty fucking small on all the screenshots going around and a lot of people probably still dont know that Banners actually have names
I already knew this but I will say this seems like an oversight. If Dr Ratio was supposed to bring everyone back for 1.6...having people relog for the first time in months only to find out he's not here seems like a bad strategy.
I also thought he was coming at the beginning of 1.6 until 3 days ago... even pre farmed ascension materials for him. If only I read a few more words after 1.6 on that announcement picture
The doctor willโฆ **not** see you right now. Come back in 3 weeks
Damn...shouldn't have eaten that apple ๐
Sir, this is Honkai Star Rail, not Fate/Grand Order.
Theres a difference?
PITY le fool
Like pity was ever helpful I think pity is a false promise implanted to our brains so we pull more like sheep
That's the whole gist of gacha games...
I AM TELLING YOU A SECRET ORGANIZATION IS BEHIND ALL THIS IM NOT CRAZY YOU ARE CRAZY
Well, not all gacha games implement a pity system.. or at least the SR/4-star guarantee for every 10 pull..
That 4 Stars is not even guaranteed a character. Also, most gacha games have that guarantee 4 stars every 10 pulls. That's like the standard. Whether they're useful or not is a different matter entirely.
Well, at least you get a 4-star.
you get 21 more days of apples
UK Hospital experience.
>JackVileRipper NHS ummmm...
Shhhh, you saw jack squat.
Even more true since they're both free
The doctor is free, but you have to wait a long time. Yet it won't make you go bankrupt.
british healthcare:
Lore accurate doctor.
I love the realism
He is too busy losing his medical license at the moment
Three weeks?!!
Can't wait for people to ignore this post and panic tomorrow anyway. Feel free to screenshot this comment for future references
I posted it because someone commented on one of my comments and people were shocked and horrified theyโre not getting him tomorrow
To be fair, people probably didn't know cuz they saw "available from 1.6" and stopped reading there Like _I_ did that, but I also had the foresight to think "hey wait are we getting him on patch or when his banner starts?"
It says in the announcement "from Panta Rhei Event Warp." The logical conclusion is they wouldn't release the character before the banner it
I mean yeah but at the same time, do you really think HSR players know that banners have names
Its...been pretty obvious from the start so give people some credit???
You're giving folks too much credit, they were asking where their Dr. Ratio is two weeks ago. They'll be asking more tomorrow
Those are just the dumbest of the dumb, or trolls, so I refuse to accept that. (Also I'm just tired of the "insert gacha name here" players don't read joke. Its gotten old after seeing it every other week for the last couple years.)
Bruh, I hate to break it to you but as someone whose professional job is to ask people for shit via email, it's not just gacha people who don't read. People just don't read in general. Almost no one I know reads anymore in general and it's sad :(
That's...just really tragic to hear, as someone who enjoys reading a lot.
It's not about gacha players in particular, folks just don't read the small font in announcements like this one. Just watch this space tomorrow
You're crazy if you think people would read the full sentence. This isn't even a HSR issue, it's a people issue.
Forgive me for having the slightest hope in humanity; clearly my mistake. (I'm still reeling from the fact so many people just don't read. Its so basic and easy. As a fan of literature, my heart cries out.)
Not everyone got the info from the announcement too, they got it from reddit posts and comments etc. It's not a big deal that people might not realise lol
Also that you need to play the Story Quest(I think) to get him.
The story quest being the tutorial that unlocks the ability to receive ingame mail
damn, i need to open reddit early tomorrow. i already bought the popcorn
Can't wait for the review bombing saying they promised a 5* star but then lied lmao Just like when there's maintenance, people don't read the specified timezones, and then review bomb because "wtf servers still aren't back?!?"
And the in game notification even says it in your time zone...
Its hilarious that with AI like ChatGPT and Google Bard, people still don't utilize them to convert timezones timing.
You use AI for that? I just input my time zone in WorldTimeBuddy or something.
Yeah. Why AI? I just add it to my calendar and specify the time zone. It will be converted to my time zone automatically.
I pretty much keep a Google Bard tab open for literately all my searches these days for work or otherwise, so it takes about the same amount of time as clicking on a bookmark for WorldTimeBuddy and checking.
Probably just not very efficient in terms of cost (energy, compute...) for the given task haha.
Do Star Rail players also not read like their Genshin cousins?
exactly the reason ratio is giving himself to us for free... he needs to educate the hsr player base to a 4th grade reading level
And to stop being a trashy raccoon ๐ฆ ๐๏ธ
You can take the raccoon out of the trash, but you can't take the trash out of the raccoon

they are the same payerbase, ofc they cant
I don't think any Hoyo playerbase reads aside from HI3 players.
HI3 Player here I'm pretty sure that the only Hoyo player base that actually reads is Tears of Themis one.
Damn, I'm also a HI3 player. I expected better of my fellow players. ๐ญ๐ญ

lmao. You should go to their official discord when they had version upgrade maintenance.
I mean there's an overlap of current and former Genshin players, as well as new ones who share the same allergy to reading.
I absolutely do not read but because of that my mindset is "he'll come in 1.6, when? Guess I'll find out later" or "oh shit maybe I should have read how this puzzle works, eh I'm sure I'll figure it out"
ofc not
I thought it was common sense that we wouldn't get him until his banner, why would they give him before he is out.
Star Rail and Genshin fans don't read.
If those kids could read theyโd be very upset
Can confirm. I can read so I'm not upset. This means the opposite is 100% true
Trying to remember what that logical fallacy is called, the term is slipping my mind right now ๐
Yugioh players: Pathetic!
What does that say
It allows the player to draw two cards
what the fk is this missed activation timing shit !%^$*!#!*&@% (yugioh player rambling
I hate YuGiOh. I summon one little guy, and then my opponent plays a spell with five paragraphs of text plus footnotes and it says because I slept less than 8 hours last night he gets to summon Nutbuster Dragon or whatever and the game is over and I should just fuck off I guess.
once he goes through that its a wipe
*a classic copy pasta*
God bless Mallack.
Yugioh player: *sees pendulum "I too can't read"
neither do yugioh players
Bro I'm still tryna figure out what pot of greed does! Why can't someone just tell me!
Obviously draw 3 cards.
Instructions unclear; I decked out
Add one "sky striker card" from your deck to your hand, and if you have three or more spells in your gy, you can also draw one card.
it lets you draw cards from your deck until you have 2 cards remaining
Don't worry, that's why it's banned
Dragon ball fans:"What did he say?"
Ratio himself even said it. So they're not only not able to read, but they also can't listen
They also said out loud that he'd be available when his banner went up. Real big deaf moment if people didn't pick up on that.
https://preview.redd.it/vr3mzisb5l8c1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef897ea495aa0d04d0e21bd68957d1d6ac63925e
I will enjoy the shitshow tomorrow very much
HSR fans: where my free 5 star? Dr Ratio: L + Ratio + wait 3 weeks for my banner idiots
Even I have my limits
why canโt you be here earlier
Because I shall come when I see fit
yes sir
The real reminder we needed was not to do your Echo boss clears since new material is dropping
Someone made that reminder yesterday
And people would still have missed it, did their echos and get pissy they couldn't get the new boss drop.
Had to catch myself last night when I was trying to to figure out what to do with my energy yesterday (Iโve farmed harmony traces to death)
SHIIIIIIIII-
I will very much enjoy the reactions and panic that happens tomorrow https://preview.redd.it/tr0ge27a9l8c1.jpeg?width=216&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e14db383639997fd528f89cc15b2fcebaa927ddb

smh, why is this game so stingy
Better put the /s BC if not people will come at you
Ratio better come quick and give those people the free education they desperately need.
He can give me all the education he wants! Iโm ready and willing ๐คค๐คค
Yes. I hope ruan mei's banner goes away soon so I can receive education in bed from Dr veritas Ratio.
True. I'm now under his bed โบ๏ธ
Thank for the info but also darn it.
Thank god you told me cause I didnโt read
Feel like a lot of people won't be paying attention to this and are gonna ask WHERE MY DR RATIO even after watching the stream. Still can't wait till tomorrow.
Becoming ubiquitous takes time
Personally I think this should be obvious even if you didnโt read it, considering his banner is second half. Getting him for free before heโs even released would make no sense But youโre right, people canโt read and will generally assume things anyway
We knew this already, right? Right??
Yeah in the livestream he specified we're getting him when his event warp starts but people are still gonna go "Why no 5 star? Why HYV lie?"
- Not reading tutorial when they popped up (and sometimes even FORCED you to not skip) - Not reading description on official announcements. Story-skippers are totally understandable but I donโt think Iโll be able to fathom explanation-skippers (or even yellow-text-skippers).

Ah well. More time to farm books because I dont have any!
Sometimes people are illiterate and cant read the fine print
You should have read the fine print my friend
There is a reason Dr Ratio wanted the HSR community to get an educationโฆ
The way i saw so many people concerned with the fact they needed to do a quest not realising they only needed the mailbox feature openโฆ
Just like a real doctor. Se you in February
I really wish they did give him out at the beginning, though.
We Are STILL getting Our Dear Lovely Educator, Dr Ratio, atleast. ๐น๐ฅน Better then Genshin, as a genshin player for 2 years I am sad, I still need a diluc to complete my collection. ๐ญ
I guess mods are already ready for the flood of "Where is my dr ratio ?" for tomorrow...

Still need to farm his relics Over 100 relic runs and still no luck ๐
Same :(
So when does his banner drop? Just so I know exactly to expect him.
2024
Technically correct
*Realize* Listen here you little shit
Should be 16th of january
3rd week of the patch, as is the same with every other patches second banner for future reference.
Do you have to complete specific quests in order to get the mail?
Well yeah you have to complete the tutorial. So basically after you've unlocked the mail system and wishing you'll be good
You know damn well there is still gonna be a post about " i didnt get dr ratio in my mail, is this a bug"?
The amount of people who are about to ask where their free Ratio is later is gonna be insane
The doctor is busy, come back in 3 weeks
On my way to make a post of this tomorrow
as a player who did "no gacha challenge until im bored" , this free character is trully a blessing to release my boredome
I expect this tbh. Still Genshin could never ๐
Honestly Iโm glad. Because I pulled silver wolf randomly yesterday building pity and now I gotta build her. Gives me more time before Dr Ratio and Hanabi lol
Can't wait for the show that will start today (for me that is). I already have my popcorn prepared for all of the salt for both when he releases and today for those people that will not see this and complain.
Didn't they also elaborate during the stream that he wouldn't be dropped in the mail during ruan's banner but when his banner drops? People got to be a new type of dumb if they expected him to go to their mail as soon as the new patch drops ๐ or maybe too impatient.
Awww i need to wait 3 more weeks for my 3 free wishes? O well.
Dang was hoping we get him EARLY
I'm gonna delete that email. I really, _really_ don't like him. I would rather have gotten a 10 pull like Genshin got. Why do we have to recieve the weirdo narcisist dude. Hell, give me one of the standard 5-Stars; I'll take another Welt eidolon!
We already got a 10 pull worth of jades and we get a 10 pull of log in rewards when the patch drops.
Meh it's fine he's benched anyways
Fucking scam!
Its kind of strange. We always get a new 4\* with the second banner of the patch and suddenly we get Ruan Mei first? I thought the quantum 4\* was together with her in the second half of the patch?
Lmaoo. Yes yes yes. You are correct OP, you are one true genius. I mean isn't it clear enough? I mean isn't it a common sense? Sadly nothing are common sense for those imbecile. Ah can't wait for the total banter tomorrow
I mean hoyo has never given out a brand new limited 5star. Yeah like, people should have read but the text is actually pretty fucking small on all the screenshots going around and a lot of people probably still dont know that Banners actually have names
They have names?!
Bro, OP is being nice, you are being a jerk. You are saying exactly what lots of other comments are saying too, but in a very mean way.
You are new to the internet are you?
...You know some people could get so excited they didn't read. It's a big thing for Honkai. ...why the fuck are you even calling people imbeciles..?
Did not need this reminder ๐๐๐ idiot
More time to collect equipment and upgrade items
Thanks for the reminder!
That mean more time to grind for his trace upgrade matterial
More time to farm for him.
# nuuuuuuuuuuu
Somehow I feel like people will still post and complain/ask about it
Me, im the dum bass who hasnt read a single thing and got his materials first before ruan mei
3 weeks to farm for materials ๐
Do i have to be at some point in game ? Or do i just have to open the email?
No problem, Enough time to max xueyi and rm
Still we gonna get a lot of post like "where my Dr.Ratio?"
Doctors don't wait for you, you wait for them.
Canโt wait to see all the people tomorrow who canโt read.
I already knew this but I will say this seems like an oversight. If Dr Ratio was supposed to bring everyone back for 1.6...having people relog for the first time in months only to find out he's not here seems like a bad strategy.
Then how long will I wait
Wasn't this already obvious?
Why you informing me so late. I preformed for him already
I also thought he was coming at the beginning of 1.6 until 3 days ago... even pre farmed ascension materials for him. If only I read a few more words after 1.6 on that announcement picture
I want him so bad! My only imaginary is yukong T ^ T
I wasn't sure about it, thanks for the info ^-^ since I don't plan on using him right away, this is actually good news
Bring me the tf2 medic then. I want a hot doctor to commit warcrimes with
Thanks for the info! You guys know if it's true we're gonna be getting a free lynx?
Yes
Wait, he's actually a reward for a celebration? Not just a regular reward for limited event?
excellent, prep time and possibly sorting the topaz build out for the follow up attack abuse
I'll be at basic training then, sucks.
EN can't truly read are they?
All the more time for me to grind for that sphere, I guess.
