Gacha mechanics are a vital part of Honkai Star Rail, and it seems that miHoYo, now known as HoYoverse, is set to give players greater control over their character pulls. Exciting leaks hint at substantial changes to the banner system in the upcoming version 3.2 update, promising a new way for players to engage with the game's gacha mechanics.
According to leaks from Sakura Haven, version 3.2 will introduce a customizable pity system for limited banners. This new feature allows players to select their preferred characters from a limited set, rather than being confined to a standard pool of characters for 50/50 pity pulls. The selected characters can partially or entirely replace the default pool, giving players more control over their potential rewards.

Currently, the 50/50 pity pool features 7 standard characters. With version 3.2, this will be replaced by a 'Group' of characters from which players can choose. You will be able to pick 7 characters from this 'Group' to create your personalized 50/50 pity pool. This means that if you lose a 50/50 roll, you'll receive a character from your custom pool instead of the default standard lineup.
The 'Group' will initially include the 7 standard characters along with a limited selection of additional characters to choose from.
This update is poised to significantly enhance the player experience by minimizing frustration and offering more flexibility. By enabling players to customize their pity pool, miHoYo is tackling one of the most frequent criticisms of 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, the specifics of which characters will be included in the selectable pool are still unclear. It remains to be seen whether the pool will include past limited characters, current banner units, or even new additions.
These proposed changes underscore miHoYo's continuous efforts to improve Honkai Star Rail and make it more player-friendly. 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 how similar systems are developed in other games.
While the full details and effects of this feature are yet to be revealed, the announcement has already generated excitement within the community. Players are eagerly anticipating how these changes will enhance their gameplay experience when Honkai Star Rail 3.2 is released.
