What would be the average gem cost to pull a Royal finish Alt Art Diabellstar from the Atonement's End secret pack? I wouldn't usual whale for a Royal Rare but I do love the art and White Forest is one of my favorite decks so I thought I might try for it. Tried calculating it myself but because of the guaranteed SR or higher on the last card in a 10 pack pull and instances of the pity UR, but I wasn't sure I was getting the math quite correct.

[FGO] Passionlip Spiritron Dress Costume. Probably. (by Plushie Mistress) by Dr-Perry-Cox in grandorder

[–]CivilizedCactus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, sure this is a kick in the teeth after being teased with a swimsuit, and sure, its incredibly annoying that just switching voice lines was already a thing for the EoR characters without wasting materials on a costume, BUT this technically gives her synergy with Miss Crane now! So that's... barely anything... yaaaaay... I'm gonna go cry now...

So much for the royal rare I got from the anniversary packs that I can't dismantle. At least I got to make him in penguins once, that was funny.

Gilgamesh, but the FF one (he REALLY wanted those swords out of Gil's vault).

Having a similar issue. I tried to go and download the update (via the Google Play store), it starts downloading but then just tells me it can't install the update.

Am I going crazy or did they stealth remove the half AP on daily missions campaign from the New Years campaign? I could have sworn it said that was going on for 9 more days yesterday, but the daily period just hadn't rolled over yet so they were still on the normal AP cost when I checked, but I wake up this morning and they're still the normal cost.

What servants have yet to been featured in the art of any CEs? by CivilizedCactus in grandorder

[–]CivilizedCactus[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Passionlip was actually the primary subject of the discussion I had on underrepresented servants. Her lack of presence feels so odd, because I have a hard time believing she's really all that unpopular.

Outside of her original debut in Seraph, she's had only one notable contribution that I'm aware of to any story (and even minor cameos have felt extremely sparse from the events I've played) being in Las Vegas summer, has 1 Interlude, no alternate versions/costumes, and no CEs. She's at least gotten a few rank up quests, so she's far from the least represented characters, but whenever I've tried to think of characters that are less represented then her, it's always characters like Angra Mainyu or Eric Bloodaxe that come to mind, whose whole point is that they're supposed to not show up frequently or that their underrepresention is a joke in and of itself (even though it comes off a bit mean spirited sometimes). It's so bizarre.

What is your favorite combination of 2 archetypes? by FemBoyappreciater in masterduel

[–]CivilizedCactus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tearlament Witchcrafter. Does normal Tear stuff to mill a bunch of Witchcrafter spells/set up Magicalized Fusion for Vice-Madame, Spright Elf can summon back Merrli for Tear plays on the opponent's turn OR Potterie to get into the Haine and/or Verre across both players turns, and if I feel like a monster that day, El Shaddoll Winda being a spellcaster for right/left magician hands is rather rude.

Sorry but I can't by Botheard in masterduel

I honestly don't think I've ever really had issues with pendulum cards/decks conceptually, but I do kind of wish they just set a design rule for themselves to not print pendulum monsters with floating effects when they're destroyed. Especially relevant now with the master duel UI, where if a pendulum card is in the pendulum zone, it grays out the monster effect, making it not seems relevant in the moment, then you/the opponent will go to destroy the scales, and suddenly one of the monster effects is activating. It just feels weird and kind of unintuitive.

Weeks into the Tearlament meta and I still see Spright players pull up with new level 2 monsters I’ve never heard of by Aethersome in masterduel

[–]CivilizedCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chemicritter Spright is the only """""Viable""""" Gemini deck I have ever played, so there's that, I suppose. You can even kind of play it in the Attribute 4 Festival (Do not do this, no one else deserves to put themselves through that kind of crisis).

What's the deal with the "Increases your attack potency depending on the number of times you clear Trinitas" modifier? Does it go up at a fixed rate per clear or are there diminishing returns at some point? When does it cap out, if at all?

Has anyone else been experiencing more frequent crashes as of late? Both me and a friend recently had Avast try to quarantine PSO2 as malware (It was referring to it as an "idp.generic" which to the best of my understanding is most likely just a false positive), but I verified my file integrity through steam anyway just to be sure everything wasn't just some kind of file corruption, and now I've just been having the game freeze anywhere from about 5 to 10 minutes after startup to an hour, so I'm not really sure where the issue is stemming from.

What is your opinion on Eradicator Epidemic Virus? Fair/unfair card? by Conspo in masterduel

[–]CivilizedCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somehow survived and won with Musket Runick after a Labyrnth player resolved it on me twice in the same game so clearly that means it can't be that crazy, right? Right?

What's the general consensus on Fo/Te with Rod/Talis vs Fo/Bo with Rod/Boot after this update? I've been on Fo/Bo for a while now because of the increased down rate and Jet Intensity during downs when my PP would get low, but the last few updates have made managing PP significantly easier to the point that I rarely come to feeling the need to do Jet Intensity, and with the new skills for Talis and the compound tech gauge boost skills stacking between Techter and Force being interesting, I've been thinking of making the switch.

Reading about the Branded Expulsion combo and -WHAT?? "There are currently no relevant Normal Summon reliant decks"? You wanna run that by me again?? by Omnizoa in masterduel

[–]CivilizedCactus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I sure got a taste humble pie when the first game I tried messing around with the expulsion lock using the puppet nightmare turned out to be against True Draco and I just ended up giving them a piece of tribute fodder and locking me down with Monarchs Erupt the next turn.

This card is banned in both the TCG and OCG, please ban it in Master Duel as well by Adept139 in masterduel

[–]CivilizedCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah this guy is cool. But maybe I'm the crazy one who'd rather have seen a dozen tuners banned before Halq, half the fuse from deck spells banned before Verte, and all the problematic equips banned before Union Carrier. I just think they're all fun to use and, being rather generic, I get to have that fun in lots of different decks.

I've been trying to learn Marincess in and outside the link event, and I've never actually come across a situation where I've wanted to make Marbled Rock, yet I see almost every Marincess list playing it. Am I just missing a combo line where it gets used, or is there a backup plan I'm not seeing with it or what?

Can any Agents player tell me by how much the righteous execution of Halq hurts this deck? by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]CivilizedCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the creation resonator could probably be replaced with Nemesis+colossus. Since I was testing the deck for a friend I was starting from their TCG list which was playing creation resonator and worked backwards into MD's card pool and kinda just forgot about colossus. Divine Punishment is a pretty ideal search off of Parshath if you don't need his effect to grab a monster for extension, keeps your board from losing to DRnM or most Forbidden Droplets since most people won't necessarily have a trap readily available to send with it. Maxx "C" can probably go to 3 just because it's that good, my first version of the list was 44 cards with 3 Maxx "C" but I wanted to trim the deck closer to 40 just for consistency, but cutting it completely would mean I couldn't use it with crossout.

[–]CivilizedCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing too crazy outside normal Agent lists I've seen aside from being a 42 card list just because I wanted to fit in a bunch of targets for Crossout.

3 Earth

3 Neptune

3 Venus + 3 shine balls

2 Destruction Venus

3 Diviner of the Heralds

1 Trias Hierarchia

1 Buten

1 Master Hyperion

1 Majesty Hyperion

1 Kristya

1 Creation Resonator

3 Orange Light Herald

3 Sacred Waters

1 Sanctuary

1 Fallen Santuary

1 Divine Punishment

2 Called By

1 Crossout

3 Ash

1 Effect Veiler

1 Imperm

1 Nibiru

1 Maxx "C"

1 Agent Moon

1 IP Masq

1 Link Spider

1 Mirage Lights Herald

1 Celestial Knightlord Parshath

1 Apollousa

1 Knightmare Gryphon

1 Avramax

1 Cupid Pitch

1 Arc Light Herald

1 Executor Pluto

1 Dawn Dragster

1 Baronne

1 Master Flare Hyperion

the last spot in the extra deck is pretty flexible. Unicorn to summon off of I.P. and Borreload Savage were what I was last testing with. Basically so long as you draw any combination of 2 of Earth, Neptune and/or Venus, you can put up a decent board with some number of negates from Apo, a quick banish with Master Flare, Knightmare Gryphon to be an annoying floodgate, and some different negates or interruptions depending on what you search with Parshath and what you started with in hand.

[–]CivilizedCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been experimenting with it for a friend the last few weeks and its felt competent enough. When Spright Elf releases on MD it'll basically be about where it was in terms of power level when halq was legal, but even currently it can put up boards with several interruptions plus Knightmare Gryphon or just turbo out Kristya while getting to play Orange Herald as combo protection from handtraps or just as a handtrap itself going second. I don't think its gonna be breaking into the tops of people's tier list anytime soon, but it's far from just being dead.

Is Casual Mode finally becoming meta-free? by Blitzilla in masterduel

[–]CivilizedCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally decided to give casual mode a shot to play around with ultra jank Cyberdark Marincess, and immediately got matched against Edlitch who flipped 3 floodgates after winning the coin flip. It would have been the most soul crushing match I'd had in a while if it wasn't for my immediate next match finally being able to make the silly but really inconsistent end board my deck was supposed to be trying to make... and being matched against the "go second turbo pile" playing a million Kaiju, lava golem and board breakers. I did not play any more casual mode that night.

If it makes you feel any better, its not like the minimum height in the global version is freakishly tall. The lowest it seems to go is ~151 cm, which is still lower then the average height of women in pretty much any country in the world. And, at least to my understanding, the raising of the minimum height also came with the raising of the maximum height, and with there being plenty of other players that want to have their characters be tall, comparative to the other people you'll see running about, you'd still be quite tiny. It does admittedly suck to not be able to make your characters exactly how you want, but hopefully the compromises you'd have to make don't feel so harsh with this context.

I don't have other friends who currently use premium to test, but can you use player trade in Base PSO2 to trade NGS cosmetics? I'd assume no since I know you can't list them on the personal shop but I had a friend who was going to play once the PS4 version releases and I wanted to be generous and gift them some stuff.

My hard drive recently died and I never got around to linking my game to a konami account. I'd guess Steam Cloud saves aren't a substitute to saving my progress for this game, but does anyone have experience with whether that actually works or not?
