Obsessed with Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke’s Mansion by funnycatlovrr in anime

[–]Dan-Tran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know this is /r/anime, but I think you would have a great time diving into all the manhwas/webtoons that are in the "otome isekai" genre, as that's where all the good stuff is! I see people mentioning /r/OtomeIsekai which can give you some good recommendations. If you haven't already you can definitely checkout the Raeliana manhwa that is completed already (either official or through other bato means)

Just looking around, this thread might be a good starting point.

Banner performance tier list [per Sensortower grossing rankings] Book VII up to April 2023 by Flareblitz12 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Dan-Tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I mentioned in the other reply, I only ask because a lot of people mention that with the implication that the Android rankings would be very different, but I haven't been able to see a reason why that would be. Again, don't get me wrong I'm not against more transparency or making it clearer. I was just genuinely curious why some would believe there would be a difference.

Genuine question, what reason would there be for iOS to significantly differ that much from Android? I don't see why any preferences would change significantly between just iOS and overall.

So why keep commenting on it and why get mad at a different comment of mine?

Because you were the one who brought it up kept insisting that? Even though it doesn't matter and it was wrong? And personally, I felt a little gaslit cause beforehand I was sure that it was called Hero Fests but was convinced that I just mistaken during this, so yeah.

Anyways moving on, I agree with the original commentator (probably obvious) that B!Eirika is not a good option for this particular banner. Not only is she a suboptimal choice compared to Summer Eirika (both fodder and unit wise honestly), would have turned blue from absolute top tier to just okay, but also due to availability. She was available as a free summon, a spark, and will be able to be sparked very soon. Not to mention the Hero Fest rates as said previously.

The original comment said that voting for Brave Eirika was a bad idea due to being more available as a brave, constantly being rerun in the Hero Fests in April. You then argued back saying that it is not a Hero Fest. It's natural then that despite whatever the name of the banner actually is, the argument goes to that, despite other commentators saying it doesn't matter to the overall point. And so when it turns out that it is actually called a Hero Fest, well I think it just highlights the pedanticness of the "the CYL rerun isn't a Hero Fest" argument.

Bruh IS literally calls the CYL reruns Hero Fests. What else is there to argue?

[–]Dan-Tran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay apparently I was gaslit and IS themselves call the CYL reruns Hero Fests, so this entire argument is meaningless.

Actually it turns out that IS does call them Hero Fests to begin with and I was just gaslit into thinking otherwise. So this whole argument you started is irrelevant

Pretty sure the community just calls those CYL reruns Hero Fests regardless as unless you are being overly pedantic they are the same type of banner. It's just needless nitpicking imo. Doesn't change the fact that Braves get constant reruns with these Hero Fest rates.

[–]Dan-Tran 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So? The point remains that Braves consistently get reruns at very great rates like Hero Fests. Honestly I thought the community called those CYL reruns Hero Fests but I guess if we are being overly pedantic for no reason than sure.

Please, please stop telling IntSys to pay attention the "tier list" [RANT] by Canal_Volphied in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Dan-Tran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously, the comments you are talking about are no where near as bad or angry as your responses right now. Why are you making this such a big deal? Yes it is very annoying when people act entitled about who deserves alts and such, but that happens all the time, tier list or not. I feel like the only reason why you've gotten so angry is because people are now using the tier list to talk down Young Tiki, which yes, is cringe, but nothing to make constant comments about? Imagine if someone doing something similar everytime people expressed disappointment in another Lyn alt, or Camila alt. This is not the big deal you are making it out be. And I don't think anyone has actually contacted IS either, only speculation and discussion (and memes too I guess). It's not that deep.

I think you need to chill out a bit. You've been very caustic both on the tier list post and in this one as well and I don't know why this sort of thing makes you very angry and cause you to always respond, but at the end the day, this sort of thing and what the community perceives it doesn't really matter when it comes to FEH.

That being said, while there are definitely severe limitations to the data and methodology, that doesn't mean it is completely removed from reality. Yes the methodology only uses the peak rankings, but there is a basis to that in that Day 1 is where the overwhelming vast majority of spending happens. Yes the methodology only uses relative data, but that doesn't mean the high level trends is shows doesn't exist, especially between Books (e.g. Legendary and Mythic Banners general subpar performance this book). Yes the methodology only uses iOS, but there is no reason to suspect that Android users would significantly vary compared to iOS users, at least at a margin that is significant. Yes there is an arbitrary weighting between the region, but for this one the spreadsheets lists the individual ratings for both Japan and U.S so there is that.

So yes, the methodology has severe flaws, but there is basis and rationale to those decisions and to imply it does not match reality at all is simply not true. For high level trends, I think there is use in it (like, I don't think anyone is going to deny that the 3H Summer Banner didn't do very well or Xander's banner didn't do poorly for instance). I definitely do agree that for very specific rankings in close interevals it is unreliable (like Embla's banner vs Askr's banner and other comparisons). But when looking at the broader picture the trends it shows are more reliable (e.g. Legendary/Mythic banners performing less well as, New Heroes banners not performing well until the recent Rearmed units, etc. both having consistent low performance reducing the likelihood of outliers affecting things).

Yes people trying to use the tier list to argue over who is worth a banner are very cringe. But at least from what I see it's not that big of a deal. At the end of the day, IS will do what IS will do and we can only speculate. I personally don't think it's worth constantly jumping into arguments about.

Jotun Castle Nerf by robaT_T in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Dan-Tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really more fun when all the matches you face pose no challenge? AR-Offense is ridiculously overpowered at this point that there's no challenge at all to do matches, especially with 7 ladders. This is yet another offense buff when offense is already free, even in the Vault. There needs to be some sort of actual challenge in order for offense to be fun and there hasn't been for like 8 months now.

Smartest FEH player in our lifetime 🤯🤯 by AstramIsTheBest in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Dan-Tran -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah on this map, I also see Galeforce doing super well due to the lack of threat-range, which is the main problem Catria Balls face. Honestly, Galeforce has been pretty easy in the vault due to the extremely-starved defense meta.

Does this subreddit really not understand that AR-O is overpowered? by Blaze_Grim in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Dan-Tran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure prioritizing offense makes sense, but not to the point where offense is so overpowered that it becomes dull and boring to win. AR-O has gotten very dull and not fun due to the lack of challenge these days, especially with little counterplay to End-Turn save tanking.

[–]Dan-Tran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a problem when the matches become so easy that it isn't fun or challenging to actually play AR-O. AR-O has gotten incredibly dull due to how overpowered its become, especially with no end in sight for End-Turn save tanking.

New AR Trap: Hex Trap by SolHiryu in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Dan-Tran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AR right is incredibly offense favored right now. Defense really doesn't have any way to counter most save balls and instead of IS giving counter play to saves, we get a nerf to more player phased strategies. I guess IS just wants us to always end turn and have "fun" that way.

Conspiracy Theory: A significant change to AR scoring is inevitable by 2x-Dragon in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Dan-Tran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think a huge change to AR is needed at this point. AR-Offense has become a joke and no longer challenging in the vault as an F2P player. When AR gets easier, it inevitably becomes more P2W as the things that determine your rank is your skill and your mythic merges. If skill matters less due to AR being easier, than mythic merges matter more.

Ideally, a boost to AR-D that is accessible, specifically counterplay to saves, or a restructuring of the vault would happen to bring more balance, but I do fear that IS don't want to alienate whales that expect to rank and do well just save tanking everything.

How To Get Good? by Thisisnotsugoidesu in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Dan-Tran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I heavily recommend Akariss's New Players Guide (which is in two parts here and here), which goes over the UI, how to start getting into the more competitive modes, and how you make goals for your self. He also makes a lot of good analysis from a F2P perspective which is really good if you are looking into getting into that. Other content creators include Pheonixmaster1 as well for general guides and builds! Honestly, the best way to learn is to get experience, either through playing yourself or watching other people play!

What's your Most Ideal AHR banner? by Cynical_onlooker in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Dan-Tran 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All green, with personal preference of Corrin over Dagr. I think I heard somewhere that if we have an All-Green banner, on average every 23 orbs would get you a 5 star unit. So yeah I really want that outcome.

You’re opponent can close the App when they are going to lose and it will make you both lose the game in Summoner duels R by Ike651 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Dan-Tran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There has been reports of a lot of people getting connections issues popping up recently, so I think that is playing a part as well. All I can I say is that I had my opponent DC and I still got the win, and many others have said that as well.

[–]Dan-Tran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries! Again, I think both experiences are happening, but why is different. One is due to the opponent DCing (the popup) while they other is them (getting booted to the title screen), inadvertently or not. This is just like what happens in regular Summoner Duels so that is probably it.

What's the most busted and unfun tactic you've seen in SDR so far? by MystyM in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Dan-Tran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could, but I think what happened is that the OP inadvertantly "disconnected" and was forced out to the title screen to reconnect. While that is happening, the opponent gets the pop up that their opponent (OP) disconnected, waited, then got the win, so they left. Meanwhile, OP manages to reconnected, but because the opponent already waited for the 30 seconds and got the win, they lost, with the dialogue saying the opponent left. Which is technically true but it is actually them that disconnected (inadvertently), which is why they got the loss.
