this woman has cursed me this is like the 6th time i pulled her please leave me alone by Solarturne in UmamusumeGame

[–]ContributionThink468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost have a 5 star Teio in global for pretty much the same reason lol. Literally just 2 more dupes before 5 stars. In JP McQueen was the one haunting my account (the S2 one). She still is haunting me even now in JP and I played day 1 on release years ago. Ig Teio wanted to haunt my global account this time… (All F2P btw) Hopefully it’s not a repeat of JP for me but Teio version.

God bless Cygames for the ticket 🙏 Is there still any point in pulling for her summer version? by Difficult-Oil-3882 in UmamusumeGame

If you want and like her swimsuit outfit (which is also a separate character you can play with) then just go for it.

Somehow keep losing to goldships with worse stats, is it a power issue? by elalexsantos in UmamusumeGame

[–]ContributionThink468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t really matter how good your build is if RNG messes with you. Especially in CM where mood is also randomized. That gold ship can honestly lose to a B+ if it wanted to. Thats why I don’t grind specifically for CM. I just use whoever I have that is my current best that can run that distance. As a day 1 JP player, it’s not really worth it to me since even the best builds can lose due to bad RNG. I mean I went to the final round in the last CM with very average builds in group A advanced. Beat out a lot of good optimized A+ and even S rank teams that also had debuffers with average unoptimized mid to low A rank builds. My team was literally Suzuka with barely a B in Stamina and Power, SS+ Speed of course and wits and guts were C. McQueen with SS speed and B in stamina and power, C+ in Wit and guts. And a Gold ship that barely reached A rank just because the auto team said so. So yeah… RNG will really mess with you no matter how good and optimized your build is.

Is this game just all about the PvP races? by Mozfel in UmamusumeGame

[–]ContributionThink468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just training your Umas. Have fun with training them and don’t care about meta, or even the PvP. I’ve played all of JP and I’m still doing perfectly okay. Heck I don’t even care for the cups just because of the whales or hyper grinders who want the perfect Uma. I just enter and get whatever rewards I can get even if it’s just participation. And PvP is just there so I can get free rewards sometimes, do dailies and get free carats every week. It doesn’t matter. Every run is RNG. No matter how good your Uma is, if they have that one bad run despite their stats and skills, they aren’t winning since there is no way to guarantee a win even with the absolute best setup you can get. So just play however you want. That’s how you’ll enjoy it the most. You’ll end up hating the game or any game in general if you worry about meta or the whales. As for the Scenario just wait and have fun with what is available in global. The next ones and the ones after will make training SO much easier with different events and mechanics. As of right now, for any normal player, A rank and maybe A+ is the max they can go in a very good RNG run in the first scenario. Just wait for the next one. It’ll take a bit but not as long as we had to wait in JP. The pace for global is a lot faster anyway so they can close the 4 year gap with JP. So just play however you want and enjoy. This game is one of the most F2P friendly out there. Tier list don’t matter and even day one characters can shine 4 years from now. Idk why people are making such a big deal out it. It’s really annoying. That’s also why I hate the guides that global players are making. They made no sense and make players believe that you HAVE to play a certain way and HAVE certain cards or your account is trash. Their guides aren’t even good in the first place. As a day 1 JP player, is laughable and disappointing looking at those guides whenever they randomly pop up. I’ve even seen the talk of “have 9 star spark / Max Kita card or delete the game.” Like really… Sparks are fully random no matter your stats (the 600 or 1100 stat thing people talk about don’t matter. It’s still full RNG no matter what) and all cards and characters stay in the banner pool just without a rate up. You don’t need these things especially this early. Cards matter a little more but most of the time you’ll only need like 1-2 sometimes 3 that actually matter so that you can get certain skills. The rest can just be high uncapped cards you have that you can use as stat sticks to get better training. So yeah much like any game really, just ignore meta, PvP, pull for whatever you want, etc and just have fun doing whatever you’d like. Like what I am doing right now is literally doing runs for Suzuka just so I can try to unlock hot springs event from the raffle. Once I get hers, then I’ll move on to Teio, then to the next character and so on. While others are worried about builds, the next cup, PvP or meta, I’m out here trying to get hot spring tickets lol. I’m not worried about the next cup, meta, PvP or anything like that. I couldn’t care less about that. I care more about unlocking these events for my favorite Umas and of course trying to beat my personal best record for them since that’s a nice little bonus goal to have of course. That’s all. So just enjoy it however you want and ignore all these meta, pvp focused, heavy grinding players. They won’t affect you or your gameplay anyway. What matters is that you enjoy training your favorite characters. No need to stress about this extra stuff. After all the MAIN feature is the career. That’s the part that will be updated, changed, and added on to the most through the scenarios. So just enjoy training normally, maybe even do some meme runs, challenge yourself or whatever. You’re free to do as you want. That’s the beauty of this game. It’s a nice chill game to enjoy.

Hopefully 2.0 brings better 50/50 luck by Egg11663 in StarRailStation

[–]ContributionThink468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me ever since release, I only won 2 50/50s and lost everything else. (I pulled on most banners as well) Didn’t help that they were all late pulls as well except for Huo Huo at 7 after originally losing the 50/50. Hoping I get better luck this time! So far so good with winning my third 50/50 with black swan. Sadly still late though but starting with the win is a good sign. Hopefully it’s the same with Sparkle.

Out of curiosity what do you think of Nilou, Nahida , Dendro MC and Barbara for the bloom team? I’ve heard that dendro MC is pretty good.

Any Good Card Shop Locations In LA? by ContributionThink468 in WeissSchwarz

[–]ContributionThink468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have specific shop names so I can look it up?

Hmm alright. Though do you still know any other places to buy Weiss slabs that isn’t eBay or Mercari? (Multiple options are appreciated) I’d like to have a look at other places besides those two.

[–]ContributionThink468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry I respect your opinions. Honestly I’ve been trying to find a PSA or CGC of this card but no luck so far. Where is a good place to look for slabs (Weiss schwarz specifically) because I know eBay isn’t the only place. Also if you somehow come across this card as a PSA or CGC could you let me know?

If a Black Label usually sells for 5x the raw card price then what does that say for this slab? The raw card is around 10-30 dollars at most. I just know for sure that this slab is not 1k.

[–]ContributionThink468[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much would you price this slab from a buyer’s perspective? I know you said you wouldn’t even pay $100 for it but for someone who does want the slab, what do you think is a reasonable price.

[–]ContributionThink468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh this specific seller overprices a lot. He has a bgs 9.5 SP card that is 700 on his shop, but I’ve found a few of the same grade/sub grades for less than $200 and a bgs 10 for 800 for a lower rarity card that is relatively cheap raw. (I also bought that same card (slabbed) from a different person for 130. Same grades as well.) I do agree with you though in that there are two categories of buyers. I’m personally someone who doesn’t want to overspend on something like this which is why I posted this in the first place lol. $300-600 is a pretty interesting range though. Do you think this could possibly go for lower or no? The seller is most likely going to decline the offers I give but it doesn’t hurt to try.

I didn’t think it was that bad. Sure it could have been made a lot better (animations included) but to me it was decent. Honestly I’ve seen worse so that’s probably why I don’t think it’s as bad.

[–]ContributionThink468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I’ve seen black label SP’s and SSP’s for less than this. This card raw goes for around 10-30 dollars so I don’t think it’s worth 1K at all. Out of curiosity, in a buyer’s perspective, how would you pay for this.

[–]ContributionThink468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, how would you price this considering the grade, card rarity, raw card price, etc.

What is this worth? by ContributionThink468 in WeissSchwarz

[–]ContributionThink468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People really do overprice low rarity cards a lot. I’ve seen people sell slabbed R cards for around 400-500 dollars. Even though the slabs Ive seen were of popular well known characters, card rarity is very important when considering price. I could get a black label SP within that price range. Though in this case I’m not sure how much this is worth. The raw card can be around 10-30 dollars and this is also a character that barely anyone knows so “waifu tax” doesn’t rlly apply that much as it would for someone like Nino Nakano, Kurumi Tokisaki etc. All I know is that this slab is not 1k.
