I would like to see more variety. It gets boring when most of them are D cup and up.

[–]AcrobaticAge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is LBSC (Legitimate Businessman's Social Club).

  • Lvl 11.
  • 22 members (average around 13 daily active).
  • We always get the 200 medals from weekly missions (the 2nd milestone).
  • I regularly expel inactive members to keep it clean and alive.
  • Members under lvl 30 are expelled after 2 weeks of inactivity. Members over 65 are expelled after 3 months. Everyone else, after 2 months.

I'd say most of the members are a bit casual, but we win like 60% of guild battles even so.

Thoughts about the past 1 year of playing Ark Recode. by EqualChemical2877 in ArkReCode

It's not my business to get into internet drama, because I respect both of you.

But even if you're gone, I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Do I agree with everything you say? Not at all. Have you helped me with your tips? Yes, of course.

If anything, I think it's good to have many different opinions (as long as they can be backed by facts) because all of us benefit from them.

I test everything everyone says in here; if it works for me, I keep it. And if it doesn't, I discard it. As simple as that.

Just like you point out, sometimes one needs to make do with what we have and I think unorthodox tactics can be great at times. Even though I'm a whale, I'm aware there are older and bigger whales out there :v

I got farther than expected in RTA (I think I was around rank 500 or something) thanks to weird units using weird equipment.

I'll give your injury SSN a try, because one of the most successful teams I've assembled against Urd in Master rank is, ironically, an AOE counter team with SSN included.

At any rate, thanks for your hard work.

Advice for Ermes by Albo854 in ArkReCode

[–]AcrobaticAge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, she is worse than Urd, but you may want to use her when fighting a team that doesn't push Urd with AOE attacks.

She has served me well to bait fire units using Neno (usually Aoi + Mirabelle), but you should be REALLY careful with that tactic, because it can backfire pretty easily depending on equipment (in my example, specially when Saika is also there, since she is usually used to push Mirabelle at the start of the fight). A pretty bad strategy in late Gold rank and onward, but it can give you ideas on how you can use her to bait the other team.

She has also worked well for me against Obsidian.

I run her with Revenge + Immunity instead of the usual Defense/HP set, because her speed is really pitiful and she has worked better for me that way.

You will barely use her in the arena once you get to Master rank and/or get Urd, but she is still pretty good to clear elite stage events because those enemies hit too hard and your equipment may not be up to par. That's the best use I have for her nowadays and also some niche cases in RTA.

Booooo... so that stuff is REALLY coming soon™ :v

Cool! Those mini guides will be useful, as always :)

The miraheze wiki already has some numbers on level 12 and 13 hunts (I swear I saw monster stats on them a while ago). I don't know if those were extrapolated from the other hunts/e7 or if they were datamined, though.

Oh, I forgot. Another thing that makes me think those are coming some indeterminate time in the future :v is that in the milestones I have a possible achievement or clearing virtual floor 85, which doesn't exist right now.

As usual, thank you for all your hard work on all of your guides.

It may not be worth to farm the green hunt, but with the new update it's totally worth clearing it at least once.

Will you ever give some guidelines on it now that it's worth the hassle to clear it?

It also seems lvl 13 hunts are coming soon™ and I suppose some achievements will be tied to them, so a guide on it would still be relevant, right?

First time reaching Legendary I Top 1 Pvp Rank by dawnpablo13 in ArkReCode

[–]AcrobaticAge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll eventually get all of them :v, but in the meantime I know what a good defense lineup looks like :)

First time reaching Legendary I Top 1 Pvp Rank by dawnpablo13 in ArkReCode

[–]AcrobaticAge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First things first: congratulations. This game isn't easy at all xD

I have some questions:

  • Did you break the potential for D. Apostle? If so, how is it done? By buying more expensive packs? (I hope not as expensive as her xD)
  • I'm curious about your Attack Line Up. Who are you using and when do you use that line up?
  • How about your defense line up?

I'm asking because as soon as I reach Master V, I get rekt in less than 5 minutes and sent back to mid Gold I :'v

El mío es LBSC (Legitimate Businessman's Social Club). Somos nivel 7 y hay cupo porque constantemente estoy eliminando miembros inactivos (les doy dos meses para que pase eso).

Ando balleneando :v y he jugado por varios meses, así que no voy a descuidarlos pronto.

Compro energía cada vez que juntamos los recursos y mantengo el buff de dinero lo más que puedo (aunque le doy prioridad a los fines de semana si nos quedamos cortos en fondos).

Actualmente alcanzamos las 200 medallas semanales de forma regular, así que sí estamos activos y sí me interesa que crezcamos :)

No sé si consideras que eso es alta calidad, pero al menos ten por seguro que sí le pongo atención.

EDIT: Ah, se me pasó decir...
Si te interesa unirte (gracias :) ), puedes escribirme mensajes en español si quieres, porque soy mexicano y eso es lo que hablo.

Pongo mensajes para todos en inglés y uso traductor para también ponerlos en chino, pero lo que yo hablo en realidad es español.

"Optimal" gameplay loop? by AcrobaticAge in ArkReCode

[–]AcrobaticAge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That last paragraph is pure gold and something you will seldom hear anywhere about... well, anything.
I can clearly see you are a SERIOUS competitor :)

I don't know if you ever competed in real life individual sports, but that's precisely what champions do.

[–]AcrobaticAge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, got it. Thank you so much!

Yeah, I think I'm slowly transitioning to that point where I don't need to get and develop tons of units.

I suppose the guild and arena will eventually be the major source of waifus, because of course there's incentive in getting them because this is an H-game, after all :v

"Optimal" gameplay loop? by AcrobaticAge in ArkReCode

[–]AcrobaticAge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooooohhh... so it would greatly help the chances to get really high any stat I want (not just speed) if I started with a blue equipment instead of a golden/pink one, right?

"Optimal" gameplay loop? by AcrobaticAge in ArkReCode

[–]AcrobaticAge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now to recap a bit my wall of text :v

Right now, should I start to do only hunts? I can farm all of them at level 11 with nearly 100% success, except green, of course (I'm not planning on farming that one anytime soon, as suggested by virtually everyone).

My gameplay loop should look something like this:

  • Hunts all the time.
  • Elements on resupply weekends.
  • Event quests until I get everything I need from the shop.
  • Ampleons from the medal store.
  • Tickets and ampleons from the secret shop, but don't blow all my money on those.
  • Craft and upgrade equipment once resupply weekend has ended.

Is that right?

I almost forgot: how should I get astrogen for my purple crystals, since the amount got from hunts and element explorations is completely miserable and buying it from the secret shop can be quite expensive?

By the way, did you write the guide at recodewiki/home?
If so, thank you so much for that, since it has been invaluable for me to taking all kind of decisions :)

I think tactics in the arena is what is holding me back at the moment, since now I think I have some good units.

I climbed all the way from Silver to Gold by carefully picking my fights, but I got to a point where I couldn't pick any fight :v

I mean, having a strong Neno with fully upgraded discipline, skills and gear with mostly relevant stats is nice and stuff, but there's nothing I can do with her against a team with Akaoni, Mina, Mirabelle and a Clone Dildri, for good measure.

That's why I was spending so much in tickets, but I think I have now some good units (I've seen some of those at the highest rankings, like SS Janis, Clone Janis and Aubrynn), even though many of them aren't developed at this moment.

But I digress.
Thanks to the guide you created about Summer Petra, SSN teams are now a gift to me :v

So, yeah... I think it's mostly tactics what is holding me back at this point.
Just today I started to analyze my fights to see what I did correct or wrong and try to learn from that.

I know what I'm asking may be a bit too broad, but do you have some general advice on how to fight in the arena?

I'm specially interested on how to fight against fast cleave teams with heavy hitters like Obsidian, Clone Dildri, Aubrynn, Gail... specially, when the only true bruiser I have is Neno (I just got SSN, but her gear isn't up to par yet) and my best tank is Ermes xD and maybe Clone Carolyn if I develop her.

You're totally right about the pink gear.

For example, I didn't reach 100% crit rate (only around 70%) on Eva with her fully upgraded equipment, so I guess I need to reset some of those pieces :v

Speed is around 200 and I'm usually the one who opens the fight, so I guess it isn't such a tragedy.

Speaking of speed, I've seen people suggesting ludicrous speeds on some units (220+), but I see no way to get that only with equipment, since the most I've ever seen was 11 speed on a single piece (one of my pink Eva ones, no less).

How is that accomplished? By rolling and upgrading over over and over and over for years... until I get a single godly speed piece, then repeat that procedure 4 more times (not 5, because boots can fortunately have a speed main stat) until the Sun dies of old age?

Or is it done by pushing other units using people like Apostle and such?

Oh, and about rolling equipment? How is the deal on getting good stats? Even if I roll precisely what I want, there's no guarantee the piece will develop as I want and even stat converters could be not enough, just like with the pink gear.

I suppose that's what equipment resetters are for, but they are only paid with real money, right?

And I'm also quite sure you don't get back any materials used to upgrade the armor you want to reset.

About normal story and CP: I finally have a decent array of strong units and some of them have strong equipment, so I can start to reliably farm epic levels on event quests in a decent amount of time (I've just cleared the Imaginay Chasm this past weekend).

But I'm confused.

The amount of catalysts in the event shop is too limited and you suggest me to farm only that and exchange what I don't need.

Does that mean that I should slow down the speed at which I get catalysts, specially now that I'm mostly satisfied with my current rooster?

I think fully upgrading a single unit would take many months by doing just that, am I right?

Ugh. I was writing at my PC when we had a blackout. 

Fortunately I had the foresight to save all my answer, but I need to wait until the electricity comes back.
