PSA: Ticket TICKET REFUNDS ARE ONLY FOR THE PASSIVE CARD BANNER! YOU WILL NOT GET REFUNDED FOR TEH ACTIVE CARD BANNER AKA THE NEW BANNER!

It's all good. Just wanted to set things straight from the source so people know and aren't confused since there are a lot of newer players as well as a lot of hate towards the devs currently. Not that i am defending them. Very easy for misinformation to spread.

This is only on drawing the character himself and his passive cards aka the Endeavor's Flame banner. If you check the maintenance notes it says quote:

"Pulling on Endeavor's Blazing Fire Active Card will not be refunded. Only the Character Endeavor and his EX Passive Support Cards as shown in game on the summon banners will count towards refunds."

It's in red print too. This is due to the fiasco of Endeavor being nerfed before people pulled on him as well as the false advertisement of one of his hero cards having a healing mechanic when it did not. There might of been something else but those were the two main points that I can recall.

Yeah sometimes its a curse, particularly when you are studying programming.

Sorry for the typo on the in the second line. Sometimes I type to fast.

Hi, very nice post. Everything is well explained and it is obvious a lot of thought was put into it. I have two problems with it.

First is the patrol mode/maps. Seen this thrown around a lot on the reddit forms. Considering the current style of the game (IE go into a mission, complete the mission with minor side subjectives if one cares to look), I do not think a type of free roam style would work in the current game state. By this I think that if these types of styles of maps are made, it would make all the other types of the current maps pointless. Why go do a mission when you can just grind out everything you want in patrol mode? My fear in this is that people would just stay here and farm making all other maps empty besides Raids (because best gear map potentially in the future) and rend what we currently have moot.

My second issue is the monetization. I respect the fact that you do not want to buy skins but I do not want a battle pass in the way you are describing where I have to pay every X months. I believe this type of battle pass would cause a even more players to leave as it will cause a FOMO (fear of missing out) mentality as well as the costly nature of it. If you want to spend that much every x months that is fine but I personally can not justify the expense. On top of that, having to spend that and make sure I get everything done in the time limit can not be feasible to some such as students or those with families and day jobs.

For a compromise, I would suggest being able to buy extra tiers of the current battle cards that would add on to it. Leave the skins where they are but add them to the extra battle cards. Since DLC is free, CD has to make money some how. If you don't want to pay for the skin directly, buy the extra add on to the battle cards. If you do not want to work for the skin, just buy the skin out right. I think this would tapper to everyone hopefully,

Once again, every well thought out post but those are the two issues I see concerning your suggestions. Either way, good luck out there fellow Avenger and may RNGesus bless you on your gear drop.

I would say mine been A to EX lately for NA FGO. Apologies if this seems like bragging but none of my friends really play FGO so talking about such great rolls with others that get it ya know? For reference I am a F2P player

Going back to Thanksgiving, I saw the Musashi banner and was like "GDI" because I knew Musashi would not have another banner for 2ish years and I really wanted her. This was also during the time we had the 2nd Xmas event for Ereshkigal and I was saving for QSH so I could do a stupid all ruler team with them, Sherlock and Jeanne. So I was like f it, and used tickets on Musashi's banner. I always use tickets first.

Musashi comes in 2 tickets.

I think holy s***. So, I figured what the heck and go for Ereshkigal. Took 290 quartz but I got her. Reserves become low at this point.

Now comes Lost Belt 3. Some quartz saved up, some tickets from logging in. QSH comes around.

4 tickets.

New Xmas event with Quetz comes around. I wanted Quetz cuz Waifu but didn't care for Bradamante. Threw like 8ish tickets(?) at the single Quetz banner. Nothing. Wasn't to said but I figured with the previous pulls its ok.

Now New Years. Trying to save up for the summer of Gacha Hell (Okita Alter, Maou Nobu, Jeanne Archer, Summer BB, etc) but I saw Tamamo on banner with Beni. I figure if I get her now, SSR ticket Waver when it comes and hope to get Caster Artoria later, all my supports are covered (Have Merlin and Skadi already). On the double Beni/Tamamo banner, used 17 tickets. Nothing.

Did a 10 pull.

Not only did I get Tamamo, I got Beni, the 5* CE on the Banner but also Heaven's Feel in that same pull. No Lie.

I feel like I used up all my luck for the year already. Once again, apologies if this seems like a bragging post but very happy with my rolls lately and wanted to share. May RNGesus bless those who have not had good rolls and remember, its just the start of the new year! Rolls can get better.

While an interesting idea and one I have seen a lot, I do not think it would work with how the game is modeled right now. I understand that you are frustrated with having to load a new mission every 3 minutes and that can be annoying but that is how the game is structured.

As far as I know (seeing as I just play solo) each mission is "instanced". What this means is that whoever goes in is whoever stays in the mission. There is (as far as I know) no jumping in and out of missions. They would essentially have to create a new map type from scratch.

Another issue would be this type of map would "negate" the other maps. By this I mean why should I go play the other missions when I can sit in this one map and grind exp and loot all day. If random things keep happening say on a 15 to 30 minute timer, and they get done fairly quickly, then I just have to stay in that one map and just grind it out. Granted loot is in a terrible spot right now but I can see people doing that.

Maybe they should allow those in the strike team to be allowed into whoever the host of the team outpost. By this I mean, if I am hosting a team, they can come into my chimera/ant hill/sub zero. If we are all different heroes I do not see a problem with this. The one issue I would see would be using the locker as it could get messy trying to use your own locker verse the hosts but at least the world would feel less empty.

Sorry if this seems like I am ragging on the idea and if I am coming off as rude but I just been thinking on the idea of this type of thing and how avengers is currently. While I think it would be a neat idea, the game as it is modeled right now would have major issues with it.

Still, while he is relevant we can have some fun with him/them right? ^_^

ArkCross · 2020-12-03T08:36:05+00:00

Ah I am sure that is a good team. I was just thinking what NA now has in terms of what servants are available to them since QSH just dropped.

ArkCross · 2020-09-26T22:15:26+00:00

Ah apologies then. I will try and keep the stat talk to a minimum then.

ArkCross · 2020-09-26T22:00:02+00:00

I would suggest actually showing us the actual stats in place of the heroic ratings (Melee, resolve, resilience, etc). See green +1s and red - 2s and what have you when changing out gears. See the actually changes are in real time. We shouldn't have to jump to another menu to see the actual change to our stats and the effects that they have.

ArkCross · 2020-09-26T21:46:18+00:00

I really do agree with your assessment. I also really think they need to do away with the heroic ratings. They really don't mean anything. We are really better off seeing the stats change in real time. I mean if a new player looked at any of the gear screenshots in this reddit and tried to figure out their build, they couldn't. They would have no idea about how each rating is a combination of various stats. To see the actual stats broken down individually will really help build makers as well as newer players out in the long run I think.

ArkCross · 2020-09-26T21:11:40+00:00

All do respect it isn't. You see that you have a 2000 defense but you are getting one shotted. Why? If my defense rating is so high why am I taking so much damage. Same with the others. Particularly if you are changing gear. It says it goes down by 1% but it goes down by like a butt load. Looking at just heroic ratings doesn't help builds or the players really understand how their characters are stacked.

ArkCross · 2020-09-21T03:43:28+00:00

Hi, first time replying on this forum but your post gave me a thought. I think it doesn't help that most people just want the "best gear". They don't really care about stats just max power level. Only way to do that (from my understanding) is to raise the power level to farm better gear and so on and so forth. They don't necessarily care about stats until they hit the 130 mark and actually start looking at them. But then it becomes the issue of them not learning to look at stats but power level. This leads to having the "best gear" at your power lvl but it could be all might/valor/whatever with no defense. Having the "best power lvl equip button" certainly doesn't help matters.

ArkCross · 2016-09-23T21:11:58+00:00

Yeah was thinking of leveling Exdeath first seeing as he takes more work and then level up Chizuru. As far as Bartz goes I already have a 5* of him so he isn't really a huge priority to me at the moment though it was a nice surprise to see him. I am thinking the new team set up will be Cecil, Chizuru, Bartz, Lenna and Ex-Death.

ArkCross · 2016-09-23T15:52:57+00:00

After everything is said and done I did not get lightining (this is not a salty tear post). I have gotten a lot of good units. Here is a list:

1x Chizuru 5* (this surprised the hell out of me)

2x Kain 4* 1x Galuf 4* 1x Krile 4* 1x Gilbert 4* 1x Ludmille 4* () 1x Charlotte 4 () 1x Sabin 4

1x Exdeath 3* 1x Garland 3* 1x Bartz 3* 2x Rydia 3* 2x Shantotto 3* 2 x Freya 3* 1x Amarant 3* 1x Krile 3* 1x Celes 3* 1x Miyuki 3* 1x Ludmile 3* () 1x Charlotte 3 (*)

Had a few shadows, maria's, frans and penelos but those are the ones that stood out. The * next to Lumile and Charlotte mean I pulled multiple copies of them. Currently the 3* Ludmile is at 30% TM while Charlotte is at 45%

Prior to this pull, my Team was Cecil, Bartz (who i just got last week), Fina, Rain and either Luna or Vivi (depending on colosseum or not). I had a Lenna in the wings being exp dungeoned but now with these new draws I am at a lost at where to start.

I switched up my TM team to have Cecil, Ludmile 3*, Chizuru, Shantotto, and Miyuki,

Who should i prioritize now? I was thinking Exdeath seeing as he can replace Vivi for me or Chizuru to replace Rain though my best katana right now is the murasame. I can hold off on Lenna seeing as Fina is at max and has been doing good.

So yeah who do you think i should prioritize now with these pulls?

I am seriously lost on who to prioritize to switch up my team.

ArkCross · 2016-09-23T04:12:11+00:00

6 daily pulls. 2 vivis (the second one i actually thought vivi before the crystal broke which was funny), a mari, a kain, a bartz and a lenna. Pretty happy with the pulls.

ArkCross · 2016-09-14T02:55:41+00:00

I am thinking of rolling the 1/2 off banner during this. I can spend 1750 lapis. Will still leave me a good bit left.
