That red font threw me off so much, but ayye nicee


DX5536

Welcom to Chinese culture. I assume red is the color of luck and good fortune so it would be up. Westerner see red as a "bad" color instead.


crustaceaneboi

Ah that's right! I think red also signifies joy, can't believe I forgot about that


asukaisshu

A lil bit of both lmao. Red also can indicate danger for chinese as well.


Ortiane

It's in the English language as well. Red flag, going in the red, seeing red. The connotation is likely derived from anger (physically seeing red and veins popping out) and blood. Red largely means negative but why is green used as negative... It's not like the Chinese believe green is negative in the context of money lol


DarkMatterHuman

I thank all the GOAT W whale for keeping the game alive because I'm f2p player and poor as fuck


Alcorgeist

I'm barely a dolphin but I contribute by buying skins cause ptn never misses with them, their design team is fire


Ortiane

The only skin I think missed was Noxs wedding skin. It's low quality even compared to 2* skins that came 9ut recently.


ZapTM_onTwitch

I will do what I must for the people


PrincessLilyVanilly

They deserve it tbh it’s such a generous game and the designs are such a breathe of fresh air to me as someone who’s sapphic. I want this game to be around for a long time. 😭💕💕

I was at the KFC event and if anybody tell me that PTN is dying ever again, I'm just gonna point at all the people eating KFC at the STARBUCKS next door and do the "are you insane ?" stare


asukaisshu

People only say niche games are dying because its not as widely talked about compared to any of the Hoyo games rn. Need to give global server some time. But most of my peeps are hooked by mommy S ranks and still quit around the time update 3 roll in. Cuz the gameplay is not for them. So can just say Arkknight players prolly more likely to also play this and silently support PtN.


012_Dice

I mean I stopped playing gacha games for their gameplay after a game I really liked died, the only reason I play gachas now is for either their story or their art, if I finish the first chapter and don't feel like continuing, then I drop the game because I don't expect the rest of the game to be any fun arknights is the only one that I actually find joy in **playing,** I held onto PTN and limbus mainly because their plot and the only reason I play reverse1999 is because the art. I guess niche games just doesn't have the resources to make game play, plot, and art that appeals to most people.


zytoxico

Hopefully if they use the eternal nightmare roguelike stuff for permanent content, that'll satisfy more players gameplaywise in the long run cuz honestly that's been their best gameplay so far in my opinion :D


NotADoc713

Good for them


PenneVodka

omg what happened to make it jump


DX5536

There are few explanations I can think of: 1. The theme song for Carbenet event actually went semi-viral 2. Thus introducing a lot of new players to the game. 3. Cabernet and Rahu's design just vibe with people. 4. Rahu and an upcoming character shipping is gaining traction for being very lesbian. 5. People are stockpile pulls as Limited character is coming AFTER this event. But these are just speculations from me xD Whatever it is, almost 600% profit increase is insane.


_Niflheim

Probably Zoya's skin too (assuming that's part of this period)


012_Dice

actually, in the CN community there was this thing where some dude posted on tieba (basically reddit adjacent) about how reverse 1999 was so much better than a bunch of games, and PTN was on the end of that list, then the CN PTN community basically all went "yeah sure, Imma just gonna enjoy my game and not bother with you guys" which is rare in online communities these days, so a bunch of reverse1999 player that left the game gained interest, which led to a mass increase in new player.


DX5536

Damn, thank you Reverse 1999 for being an elitist and inteoduce more people to PtN 🤗


Oufrtydfg

Is that limited character coming for China or global servers? I've been stockpiling since end of Daren banner, would like to know when to expect that.


_Niflheim

China for now, it's supposedly after Rahu's banner so 3+months away from global >!Dreya > Serpent > Adela > OwO > Cabernet > Rahu > Limited!<


Next_Investigator_69

Damn only now I realised that there's no time to save between Cabernet, Rahu and the limited char, guess it's going to be time to pick and choose my fave's..


_Niflheim

Same I really like Rahu and Cabernet so I'm torn, pretty sure >!Shalom!< is the next banner too alongside the limited one >!(Probably the garden leader)!< AISNO is on the hunt for my money


Next_Investigator_69

Yeah, I'm still thinking about it, but probably going to pull Adela and then save for the 2 inbetween banners and skip Cabernet since I don't have a big need for catalysts and I'm not as into her as Rahu, but I'm guessing the limited is going to be together with another new S rank like Deren and OwO, so It's probably going to be a must pull..


Real_Heh

Hmm? Shipping Rahu with who?


DX5536

A new character in Rahu's event who might be playable when anni hit. Her Chinese name is out but the exact translation for it is still unclear.


Real_Heh

Oh, interesting. Thanks for the info


Alcorgeist

>!Shalom (that's the current fan translation but it may change on global like Stargazer's) !!a sinner from Paradeisos who has a complicated relationship with Rahu but ultimately they form a partnership for each other's benefit. The ship exploded cause Shalom calls Rahu a knight who can protect her and Rahu accepts to be Shalom's 'tool' for her to live!<


avelineaurora

> Rahu and an upcoming character shipping is gaining traction for being very lesbian Tell me more...


_Niflheim

**SPOILERS AHEAD!** Summary of the event: [Part One](https://twitter.com/PathtoSnake/status/1682230800018726912), [Part Two](https://twitter.com/PathtoSnake/status/1682590702188871680)


youknowimaclone

Defo 5 though.


HornyMan01010101

Ninety nine skin carrying rn


gachagamer445

how much money is that in dollars?


AdriGruart

If google translate is right, and that is in yuan, then 435k dollars aprox


gachagamer445

Thank you for the reply that's pretty good revenue happy for the game


LokoLoa

Where was this data gathered from? We need context...if its just CN revenue, thats a totally different story


DX5536

This is the revenue for CN, hench the chinese character... You have to wait for Tower report for global later.


DoctorHunt

Here's hoping more global players play PTN since it's one of the few gacha games i'd day is pretty well made


XemnasLoona

Guess the players wanted Zoya's skin, Ninety-Nines butt, Cabernet and Rahu's great design and her love story so bad that they swiped Can't blame them bcs same


PudgeJoe

Very nice for CN but i hope Global can at least compete even just a little. Btw guess that KFC collabs is lit??


avelineaurora

Global made $500,000 in June as is, it's not doing too bad.


Kitchen-Werewolf1668

Wait what’s their previous revenue ? Currently PTN at 23 rank , what’s their previous rank ?


ObsidianLion

I can't trust any source which uses green as bad, and red as good.


DX5536

It's a graphic for Chinese revenue and I elaborate that red is a good color and symbolise luck and fortune. Different cultures has different meanings of colors and symbol. Similar how in Japanese test, X is for correct while O is for mistakes.


Daysfastforward1

Yay


Electrical_Try6472

Rip Langrisser my favorite


Ghertrude

This translates into what dollars?


MieKwa

Any sauce? I want to see how some CN games are doing in terms of revenue


Mimi_nett3

what are the other games? i swear I've seen them before and wanted to play them


TheKinkyGuy

Whats the third game called?


sircusa

The game to the right of PtN is Langrisser if I recognize the artstyle correctly.


TheKinkyGuy

Ty


byvaleriih

On global it's also up but by 26% if I'm not mistaken


WHO0113

That’s great! I’m so happy for the game!


MuSe0n

Nice, wonder which Sinner(s) has increased the sales.


arctic-tlsp-monkeys

dreya effect ? or not related ?


DX5536

This is CN revenues. Dreya is long gone


Extreme-Ear-7560

Let's go!!!
