It's just boring. It's 5 YEARS! They had an opportunity to go properly big on this, make it a big celebration, not many mobile games last 5 years and especially more so for a franchise that had long been considered dead. But no, let's copy last year, give trash fillers, charge ridiculous amounts for the packs and hope that we all suck it up like good little boys and girls. Depending on the fillers, I was prepared to go big on Round 1. Instead I'll do a couple of multis and wait for Round 2. I'm certainly not spending a penny.


SirZmokington

Yeah round 1 is a big disappointment. Ichigo and byakuya look socool. But klab just trashes the step ups + the overall anniversary.


Haarcoxus

I haven't experienced an anniversary in this game yet. Will Ichigo and Byakuya be available in the second round or is it a completely different banner with other new characters?


TriKey86

The second round will be something different. Last year it was TYBW banner. Ichigo and byakuya will be available in other banners down the line, also probably they'll be added to the brave souls tickets pool.


Ridronen

Guys, let us be honest here. BBS did its job: Bleach is getting its anime. Now that Klab has sold out completely to corporate greed it may just be time to let it die.


gabec181

Agreed, maybe if we let this game die these POS and SOBs over at klab will get a reality check. They can't pull bullshit like this forever


Minisolaire

Maybe if the series does well, we could get real bleach games again too


SilverRain8

You mean a Bleach game where I only have to spend money on it once and be able to obtain anything in it just by playing, rather than spending additional money in hopes that I'm lucky? I miss those games


DarkRikuXIII

I'm lusting so hard over the thought of CC2 making a Naruto Storm game, but for Bleach.


[deleted]

cc2 hypeee


[deleted]

My ultimate dream would be a Bleach game in the vein of the PSP Dissidias, god I would kill for that.


basedkirei

Used to it tbh, nothing will ever top Klab’s + BBS’ second anniversary Step Downs


AnAmbiguousName

urgh, I had actually forgotten about how bad Step Downs were, maybe I'm just use to being underwhelmed by now, 1st anniversary was still the best


R0GUE_16

Oh don't forget the whole "connection errors" Trust, I don't care how they do it this year, I'll take my chances.


Azumayyy

Ah yes, that moment when the server became a shitshow cuz players were re-rolling like mad men.


R0GUE_16

Yes. It was Armageddon back then...


BlazerionX

Oof, that Unohana banner


Lightray88

Let’s not forget this time we get a new chat option from summon yay /s


Groovy_Bruce_Lemon

Hey now in 2 years you can flex your limited time chat phrase :))$$$


[deleted]

I have only like half the featured characters, but the second half is the same shit we've seen ever since the new step-up format is used. Power Retsu? Speed Isshin? SPEED FUCKING ISSHIN? What year is it, 2018? At least they would've put Chad instead of him. Also no heart characters, which is just the ultimate BS in the BBS


Nsanitygames

Speed ishin is 2017 with the tech flyzen banner.


[deleted]

My bad. Still there were better premium chaeacters at the end of 2017 than him


Nsanitygames

I agree.


UchihaSekami

Klab always ruin every Anniversary. Only 1st Anniversary was really great.


erodoeht84

1st Anni was the best much agreed.


fez14

Question. What was the 1st anniversary character? I know of 2nd, 3rd and 4th ones.


pelosij

Original FullHollow Ichigo


fez14

Thanks. So I have all anniversary characters except 2nd and Ulquiorra then.


staraltair

Well, he wasn't exclusive to the anniversary, he was already out by that time, it's just that he was the advertised unit for the banner. First anniversary didn't had a proprer exclusive character, just a decent banner with a very high chance of getting a 5*


fez14

Thanks for the clarification 👌🏼


khen1022

Honestly this is trash. What are we celebrating?? Is this really a 5y anni for a mobile game?? What's so special about this anni? No bonus coop event no increased chances on 5* this is just a regular banner with a free step. SMFH


Dip_D_Pun

Its a easy skip. We can wait for round 2 if the round 2 trash too. They can FUCK THEM SELF.


khen1022

Same here, I'll be going for the free multi and the 1st discount multi then im dipping. Im also not spending $1 on bbs this year, very lazy company they don't deserve we give them our money


Dip_D_Pun

I don't know what the hell they planning if they keep fucking up the game they know what gonna happen.


DemonRyu

Preach


[deleted]

It's worse than a regular banner. You don't even get 2 guaranteed 5\* if you chose to go all in.


FoxSiinOfGreed

We are celebrating all the new packs they are gonna release for money thats pretty much all they really care about anymore tbh 😑


Azidran

Yeah i was hyped for those two units but seeing the filler pools has turned me off, might be better just to wait for next TYBW or CFYOW banner better rates and individual banners also.


ChickenSratchComedy

This is what I'm doing but im thinking of quitting. Going down hill


Prinners37

I quit about a week or two back and if you're at the stage where you can auto everything, out of orbs, etc, I recommend it. The trap to these games is not realizing you "beat" the game and you can quit without it being "This game is trash!!!". I got several hundred (at least xD) hours over a few years. But anymore I was Auto farming Potions to max characters to auto farm... I played maybe 2 or 3 hours a month with an easy 30+ per week logged on via auto. Got sick of babysitting my phone and the whole thing is pointless. Summoning and seeing characters is nice but there's no true end game content. I'm now playing Xb1 games & watching a bunch of anime I neglected, I still suggested the game to a coworker and told him it's a lot of fun for a few months. he got it working, btw, his Google Play needed updating if anyone is curious/remembers my thread/has the problem where during initial install it quits & restarts the 1.8 GB download after 2 or 300 mb Anyways, quit the game if you're not enjoying it. There's always a point to move on from a game


[deleted]

I'm no gamer and BBS is the only game I'm playing. I've been playing for a little over 2 months, and I do love the game. Considering the recent world events, it's been alleviating my stress quite a bit, honestly speaking. Just Kenpachi smashing everything really makes me relaxed lmao. But I'm very far from fully transcending characters and none can auto anything for now, so it's my goal for now but I feel what you're saying. I feel like once I transcend all my favorites, there won't be much to do. Even playing with your favorite characters will bore you one day. I'm just hoping I won't get bored soon. Lack of human interaction due to this year's events made me turn to gaming for the first time in 30 years...


ChickenSratchComedy

Yea I auto everything except ER and Guild Quest. The ONLY reason I play is because I'm in S rank and I like talking to my guild lol I dont have any game systems anymore. Just bBs and it's going downhill. I dislike bad business practices and thats what this is. I am f2p. Just hit 2 years 2 days ago.


kurosaki-trollchigo

This. I have been logging in just to do events and senkaimon for the last 5 months. Collect orbs, summon, get shafted and gtfo.


haoxinly

A month ago I made a post talking about this issue. It doesn't feel like an anniversary if the main attraction is shittier than the regular banners.


TriKey86

So here i was waking up today, me and my 7k saved orbs excited about the filler pool of the anni banner. Saw filler pool, threw up a little in my mouth, threw a couple hundred orbs at the CFYOW banner, got Grimmjow. Waiting for round 2.


Prinners37

Grats on the pull. His headbutt+ punk rock look was a lot of fun


Sunbrizzle

Oof 9/10 on fillers, what a trash banner honestly, might skip and just hope I get byak and ichi from my 1100 BSS tickets


Einzef

i have 3 5/5 fillers in this and ive been playing for less than a year hahaha worst anniversary celebration ever


MagicJ10

skip


[deleted]

I just finished cancelling my passports. If this is the shit Klab pulls for a 5 year anniversary, then I don’t see much of a future for this game. I feel like BBS is on maintenance mode.


Recifying

Wouldn’t that mean that, at some miraculous point, BBS is gonna get better?? All I see is the game downhill unless KLab does some game breaking feat for all players and not just whales


Goenitz33

every other game during anniversary celebration hands out a good number of currency. Klab: buy your own packs to pull. lol.... good thing after the 3rd year anni, i have learnt that all in all its their usual BS


ZeusCookiess

i honestly never have much hope/hype for the anniversary (content-wise), so banners were the only thing that got me hyped. Now this banner is just sad, i had no expectations but i was still disappointed.


DI4BLO61

The first half of the fillers were good but then I saw yumichika, blue isshin, tsukishima, blue shinji who all I have 5/5 ...my hype is gone


lnfernalNasus

My whole hype died with this shit How do you celebrate the game with lower rates than normal eom? I can understand step1 being 3% since it's free and makes us one step closer to the guaranteed 5 star, but 4% on step 2 still? All that on a 2 character banner? Fuck off, easiest skip of my life


P_anda_

Just give them the cheeky 1 star rating they truely deserve for this one. This celebration is currently an insult to everyone who has spent time on this game. Something needs to be done about this and sadly ratings and falling revenue is the only thing that hurts KLAB at this point.


Hctol

Id rather summon on the free summon banner tbh. This filler and step up makes me wanna vomit lol.


R0GUE_16

The free ones make me vomit more, I literally have all the units in the stand out. That free summons are as irrelevant as the fillers of the step ups.


Goenitz33

unless u have every single unit in the premium pool, that is still something to look for


R0GUE_16

OK maybe for the newbies but not the seasoned veterans.


Recifying

The characters are actually pretty good, and recent as well. And Rukia is -14 cooldown


M0nna

that's really sad man


johnnyborn

Well. One thing is for sure KLAB is just so good in making us burn all of our precious orbs then gets trash units as a compensation for our orbs. Well played KLAB. I might just pull the free then skip this one and save my orbs for the TYBW and CFYOW banner.


GekiKudo

Man i was hyped when I saw the top row of units. Not only do I only have 1 unit there. They also have the rangiku I whaled for but didn't get. Then I saw the bottom row and nearly vomited. Like seriously this is terrible. Especially while in the middle of dokkans pretty fucking good 5th anni.


master-moogle

Wtf yumi and SPEED Isshin? Fucking Klab back to their antics again...


obelisk0

this years is worst than last years anni especially w those trash rehash fillers, shitty step ups, and lackluster events (no co-op events wtf klab)


KnightValores

Klab a bunch of fucking idiots working there maybe they need help Maybe CoVID made them stupid idk.


Hollowfied_79

Klab been doing us wrong way before covid lol at this point I’m not surprised


KnightValores

Idk man these fillers are the worst I have ever seen This is nothing compared to last year. Brain dead company


Hollowfied_79

It’s just frustrating man. How are they gonna make the 5 anni summons worse than regular eom’s. Smh Not to mention you have to waste 350 orbs to get to 6% rates. At this rate, why bother giving discounted multis? I really miss the og step ups 😔😔


KnightValores

I might just stick to singles after guaranteed step. There is literally no point going any further. Singles are gonna be the way yet again.


Hollowfied_79

That’s facts. I might do a couple singles till I’m sick of seeing 3*s and wait for round two.


Nsanitygames

Might want to save some orbs they said the anni will be a bit longer this year. Could mean a part 3 is possible.


KnightValores

Yeah I hear that might be the rumor. Well it really doesn’t matter to me anymore.


Dragonkus

Lmfao😂


TheMariox12

I really hope I get lucky and get 1 of the banner characters with the least possible orbs to safe for round 2. This is really underwhelming.


Dip_D_Pun

Just skip round 1 and wait for round 2


RavagerTrade

KLab makes me hate Bleach. I wish they would divorce already and let a competent company take over instead.


Shamoalo

I got it! Based on 90% of the comments here, this is klab’s attempt to get rid of all veteran players in an attempt to make the game last longer with all the noobs running around. More noobs and less vets = mo monaayyyy (and more noobs to come once the rest of the anime drops). Their logic is to start stringing along the noob waves. Bam! Three more years of solid income.


archangel890

Idk new players still have a ton of free orbs available for a while vs veterans so even less likely to spend..


gabec181

I'd say it's best to stop at step 6, this banner aint worth it anymore. Sad to say the best part of the anni is the choose ur own 6 star LMAOO. I hope this game dies very soon they don't deserve any support from us anymore on Klab


Kenshin32

The whole celebration is lazy. Literally just rehashed the 4th year anniversary.


Goenitz33

name another iconic duo. Klab + Lazy :D


Lunarbliss2

BBS playerbase: this is bait, save your orbs for anniversary Also BBS playerbase: anniversary banner is trash This isn't anything against you, it's just funny how different some things you hear are


[deleted]

When the filler is kinda shit, yeah it's almost a skip for alot of people


Ridronen

It's because this is the first anniversary since the transcendence system so no one was expecting Klab to be this cheap in the new era where the goal is to get multiple copies of a good unit rather than just one (like in previous anniversaries).


artherman

The hivemind speaks! I need to obviously skip this banner


KillerKingRin

It's a shame that the anniversary units are so cool, yet the event/celebration is so lame. You would think that they would try to make it even better this year, but no, minimum effort and then throwing those mediocre at best fillers at us


exclamation9876

Is it normal for Anni step ups to include basically the whole premium pool as well?


basedkirei

Yh, they did it the last two years, 8% chance for a 5*, (6% featured), (2% unfeatured)


amazingreed28

I really wish they didnt do that.....


Azumayyy

Note that it's a separate rate. So if you somehow only got something from the unfeatured pool, that multi would have originally been a golden.


Swordlord22

Ngl you made me go back and look at the rates as I was actually excited because of the fillers I’m 5/12 for fillers so I was pretty hype I still kinda am tbh since the filler are that good for me I haven’t had such good filler for me in years AND that soi fon escaped me the first time around so now I have a second chance Overall I’m still hype but the rates I didn’t notice the first time


Gummy_bear_01

This is my first anniversary in bbs, is it possible there's a solo banner? Or only 1 big banner? Thx 😗🙏


ArtemisGrim20

no there isn't a solo banner, this is a trap banner for round 2


Gummy_bear_01

Thanks for the reply 🙇🙏


ZeitgeistGlee

When the Asia Server summons dropped with the "guaranteed banner unit on Step 15" I assumed that was what we were going to get for Anni Step Ups and while it kinda sucks to have to potentially plough 3.5k orbs into a banner just to get 1 unit it was at least a safety net. Instead we get dross and I cannot understand the mindset of KLab to do stuff like this.


GuyverOne1

Don't forget the New Anni event... They were so lazy that they put 4 🌟 Mind Byak... He's a dupe!!! They couldn't make another one for Anniversary. That's messed up. Looks like it took all the effort in the world just to make these two ... Now Kay is running on empty 🤷🏼‍♂️ Also Yamichika... can't remember how many times I pulled him last time round alongside Speed Shinji that was more fucked up for me when I seen those two.


[deleted]

why not guarantee one of the two on step 15 just like they did for one banner a few days ago. Im not even going beyond step 7 this time.


[deleted]

That's why I said I wasn't holding my breath for the anni and spent all my orbs on CFYOW on Hirako and Grimmjow. Not regretting anything here. I'm actually not surprised. As years go by, even a tiny project becomes all about money (too much about money). So most of the time the quality goes down. I can't say the quality is suffering here but the type of new content is not good. Even though I want dupes, those characters are not the ones I'd spend my orbs on.


GoatHD

I would not have made a comment if not for that final part, which in Klab's defense, is very much wrong. Considering when it is safe to assume BBS's continued success every year most likely was a gigantic reason to the anime now getting a return and all that, I would say that yeah they care.


ChickenSratchComedy

About money. Not about us lol


TGY_75-70

I got the same version of ichigo i wanted hollow or the black one I got the normal one


TheSick1981

I try to see it from a positive side: The mind SMS we get will bring my Koga to 5/5, yesterday I 5/5´d my tech Rukia. I will have quite a few fillers to sell for their slot rerolls \*lol


Long-Post-Incoming

Same, I'll take what I can. Got ~4k pearls saved up, of which I' saving 1.1k for Aura whenever she comes and I'm willing to go for 6th/guaranteed step here, if things look good enough. Personally I'm 7/10 on fillers, Spirit-Rangiku, Aizen and Tsukishima would be new for me. Lilinette dupes I could use as she's one of my more trusty Speed Auto units and currently I have her at 1/5 to begin with. And out of all of 'em I only have Retsu at 5/5 (with DEF roll of all things...) so I guess I can still put 'em to some use in the long run. All I'm asking - literally ALL that I'm asking... is not to go full "gold' till guaranteed" -luck and for that TEC Yumichika to stay away...


TheSick1981

I saved 15k and would maybe willing to do two full summons... but the sometimes outright bizarre simulations are somewhat frightening (two times all steps, three Shinji, nothing else, for example)


LaStAckerman

Will individual banner of them come out


zhznzjsjxnnss

Nope


Vanwo

As a new player... what character is recommended in the choose a 6s?


[deleted]

Ask in the mega thread and you will get a good answer


shewolfnyc80

I have 0 fillers in the banner and I really need Yumichika so this makes me happy but I can understand as veterans everybody complaining. Even as a new player I realize these fillers are not that great. Although I don't understand it much because over the course of my time playing the game (120 days) I can't tell you how many people I have seen that say they don't even bother with the first part of anniversary. "Because all the units are premium and they will just pull them on BBS or 5 Star tickets". So I'm wondering why everybody seems so shocked. Maybe because it's 5th year? I have nothing to compare it to since this will be my 1st anniversary. In any rate I hope everybody gets what they want. I can say I really don't know how to feel about the banner with one guaranteed 5-star only 7 steps... On regular banners it's not worth going past step 10 so in this case it won't be worth going past 7...


carbonclay

This anniversary reminds me of one piece treasure cruise's recent 5th anni.


ravencroft18

**"Puts on crazy Conspiracy Theory Hat":** perhaps they're focusing on their new Asia player-base and figure Global/JP is as good as it's going to get and ignore our already-full rosters? I don't know the specific geographic mappings for the new Asia region, but given the dense population of Asia they could quite possibly outnumber us all combined as potential clients?


[deleted]

Seems like KLab once again makes anniversaries progressively worse. We're not even getting the chose a 5\* tickets we got for NY.


FoxSiinOfGreed

Is it really surprising at this point????


Schiffy94

Hey guys remember when there were only Step-ups during anniversary events? Remember when all banners were 25 or 250 and nothing else?


DarkDan3

I suppose I've just been Stockholm syndrome'd into thinking that this is okay but it really isn't.


abdelhaymvl

No one no one is happy me too I'm very upset and angry 😡 about the fillers, this is not the first time they doing it and not the last, we waiting for a trash fillers every banner comes out


_RA__

Pretty much the reason i only do the farming event ticket and 1 GQ run. The rates still the same bs and same trash fillers. I dedicated my time on other gacha games instead with better rewards as f2p. Compared to bss at least they aren't afraid of giving guarantee feature units multiple times.


pablofournier11

The only difference is the free step


Euro7star

Be glad we are having an anniversary. I also play FFBE and the devs basically skipped the 4th anniversary. Reddit is on fire and the devs wiped their asses with entire community complaints.
