Is there any drama regarding the Honkai Impact 3rd anniversary? Why is the community so quiet?

A player posted on the forum asking if there was any significant 'drama' (the Chinese internet slang for controversy) regarding the 6th anniversary of Honkai Impact 3rd, sharing a mysterious image found in a group chat.

In response, veteran players clarified that there was 'nothing to report.' The main point of contention is that the anniversary update felt lacklustre because the previous version (featuring the character 'Humanity' Elysia) was so impactful that it stole all the spotlight, making the actual anniversary feel mundane by comparison.

To illustrate this feeling of anti-climax, some users compared it to a game releasing its most major anniversary content a patch early, leaving the actual anniversary celebration feeling empty. Additionally, while some criticized the developer for pushing 'cumulative spending' events back-to-back, the overall community reaction remains remarkably calm—most long-term players have reached a 'zen' state of indifference towards the game's marketing tactics.
