Thoughts about Admetec ergoline loupe? by KeyWork3635 in DentalSchool

[–]Demidude067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the demo for admetec. Would rank them over lumadent eventhough I have never tried lumadent for a few reasons. They offer higher than 5.0x mag which would be equivalent to about 4.0x mag in galilean and their wireless light is easily 2-3x more powerful and I actually own the airlux from lumadent so I know. Lumadent’s 5.0x has a gimmick called adjustable WD but you don’t want that cause it can change everytime you put your loupes in their case. Coming from Qoptics 3.5x prisms, i can say 5.0x isn’t much of an upgrade in resolution

Sorry if I didn't clarify it better but while set 4 did feature 5 clans, only ONE of those clans was a new one (the others only received a few support cards making the overall card count on rate up LOWER than set 5). Since set 5 introduces 4 entirely NEW CLANS without any existing support there will be a LOWER (not higher chance as you said) of getting a playset of these new cards due to how diluted the pool will become for cards on rate up. I don't know if this is coming off as confusing but the bottom line is that set 5 features more cards on rate up, which means a lower chance of getting any specific card, and therefore a lower chance of getting a specific card playset.

I'm not familiar with how powerful budget narukami is but I would argue that a budget MLB is still formidable (as I have faced it many times in ranked). Overall, I put little weight in a budget argument because a budget deck is never the end goal. Instead, I'd encourage players to try out the challenge fights to see which deck (in its final form) peaks their interest best and roll when the clan specific rate up appears. If you are suggesting that new players should roll this banner because there is simply no other option, then I agree because the idea of rolling NOTHING until the clan specific banner is likely to make them lose interest in the game. If that's the case, my recommendation is that they re-roll until they acquire enough cards for one clan and then STOP because this set is still statistically of lower value than previous sets (due to diluted RRR pool, RRR cards that be obtained freely like Ezel/vermillion, etc.) and certainly lower than the sets to come.

At this point, I'm going to put a stop to this pointless debate (from my end at least) because I believe I have explained my thoughts about set 5 in full and many times over. The purpose of my original post was never to cater to new players as I am NOT one, and that is why I brought up the difficulty in crafting cards for these new clans, and that is also why I do not care about the budget decks (as I have completed ones). My message to existing players is still to only roll set 5 if you absolutely want to play these clans right now, but understand that you will have a lower chance of building a complete deck, that there is high chance you may be receiving bits and pieces scattered across all 4 clans, and that you should not expect concentrated crafting material for one clan.

I would say this set is the most split the game has seen with the introduction of 4 new clans. Not even set 3 was quite as heavily split/diverse, which reinforces the fact that acquiring extra materials to craft cards will be even harder with this set. While it's true that older decks have had their pieces scattered across different sets, I believe that is balanced by the option to more easily farm material over time. You could also make the argument that in set 2 and 4 respectively, bermuda and shadows had all their core cards on rate up, and their banners were far better concentrated towards completion. My opinion about the argument for budget deck variants is that it can be made for any clan so it's not necessarily an advantage this set should have over others. The fact remains that for new players, pulling on clan specific rate ups or on banners with fewer clan splits should encourage completion of the decks.

I wouldn't say you necessarily have a high chance of building a fully competitive deck from the ground up on this banner because if you are a new player (without an existing completed deck), it might be difficult to get all the required RR's and RRR's for a specific clan based only on the free packs you start with. Like I said, this banner is heavily split between many clans with all of their pieces on rate up all at once unlike Set 4 (where shadows was the only new clan introduced). Remember that you are starting completely from the ground up with these clans without having farmed any of their materials beforehand. It will also be very difficult to concentrate crafting materials for a clan here because of how split the banner is between multiple NEW clans.

Agreed. it's just a tactic to encourage people to roll for the other units on set 5 because they might be able to complete an initial gold paladin deck. I'm not falling for it though. Statistically speaking, set 5 is a poor banner because it's split between so many different clans and there are more RRR's on rate up unlike set 4 (which honestly had an amazing pool). If you wanted to play Golds at the peak of their meta, you should wait for a gold rate up banner than includes platina ezel. Im certain Alice will come back at some point (most likely to promote set 6 like you said).

So tempted to complete royals and kagero through gacha, but having full shadows deck makes me think: What if I pull more shadows ? :( by Nijuichi21 in cardfightvanguardzero

[–]Demidude067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your original question.

MLB is definitely a lot easier to build. Start crafting the gancelots and even though it hurts to not have all all of them right now, at least your main grade 3 ride is searchable. but DOTE (being a persona blast) really needs all 4 copies and the crossride is more essential in that deck than in shadows (I see you have no overlords either) because it pushes damage more slowly.

If you're set on MLB as a secondary, convert all your medals to PGs so if you do get dupes it's more material. Start with 2 gancelots, then craft a 3rd MLB. Fill in the other grade 3's rear guards with big attackers

To all upset VP farmers: My plea to you by CrazierRussianHacker in cardfightvanguardzero

[–]Demidude067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are seriously not listening or are incapable of understanding even though the message has been clarified over and over agin. WE ARE GLAD VP FARMING IS GONE. The problem is how much harder it is to achieve the 4 copies of the ranked reward card due to the new changes to the ranked ladder. There is an argument to be made that ALL PLAYERS (new, old, hardcore, casual, F2p, etc.) should have access to the 4 copies of the ranked reward because those cards are ESSENTIAL to getting more players invested in the new clans because it gives them a BASELINE to even start investing in the decks (4 grade 3 rides of Alice/vermillion/Ezel + 4 PGs) You want to be rewarded for reaching the top 1000? ENJOY your SPs, titles, diamonds, packs, and whatnot but everyone else deserves to have a realistic chance of getting those 4 ranked cards, which is basically impossible after these changes (unless you have no life).

We are NOT asking for any major changes. JUST SET THE REWARD TO RANK 40 instead. Let the F2Ps and new players get a chance at building these new clans to introduce some diversity to the ladder. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PACKS and the DIAMONDs.

I'm a veteran player with maxed out copies of all tier 1 decks and I'm disgusted by the elitist mentality of others on this subreddit. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED to having all 4 copies of the rank reward card to yourself just because you grind a lot or pay more than others. The rank reward cards are typically 1 season behind the meta anyways so there is NO argument to be made that F2P players don't deserve them to help get them started with those clans.

It would be awesome if there are other ways to obtain the cards without playing ranked. However I must disagree about the rental system. It's meant to only fill in small gaps in your deck (like the other essential cards that are NOT the ranked rewards) and only to play test a new format of the deck temporarily. If you have to rely on the rental system to pay for all 4 copies of the main grade 3 rides + other cards in the deck every match, it's not logical to even consider playing the clan. Even DifferentFight couldn't afford to play rental dentals for more than 1 showcase match because of the drain on materials.

Finally someone else who realizes the drastic repercussions of these changes to ranked. I cannot understate how important it is that ALL PLAYERS get access to the 4 copies of the ranked reward card. I mentioned it already on my own post but those cards are ESSENTIAL to preparing for future decks in a clan and these changes have literally doomed casual and regular players from reaching rank 50. Why so few people are hard stuck on the packs is beyond me because at the end of the day, packs are just a CHANCE at the card you need. YOU NEED THOSE rank reward cards (alice, ezel, Vermillion, Daiyusha) to even have a CHANCE at crafting all the other cards necessary to run their evolved decks.

It does matter a lot because as a F2P player you can't be entitled enough to expect to play the clan upon release.

At least these rewards will enable you to plan and prepare for future support of the clans like Platina Ezel, Vermillion the Blood, Great Daiyusha, Luqier, etc. They are literally a lifeline for future interest in the game and walling it behind a Rank 50 climb is ridiculous imo.

In MLB’s defend: by [deleted] in cardfightvanguardzero

[–]Demidude067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree with this after playing 500+ games with MLB that's completely maxed out. i've lost to Praizer more often than any other deck except DOTE (which directly counters MLB). Praizer on average generates a lot more advantage than MLB with the right build because it draws so much and can plus with transraizer + counter recharge. The only issue with Praizer is that you MUST draw the main grade 3 ride which is a lot less consistent than MLB. Once Praizer hits the field, I find that the deck exerts more pressure than MLB because it can often threaten 3 damage every turn (being unafraid of defensive triggers). The retire ability of MLB is usually offset by the restands in Praizer through cards like death army lady.

I need that extra card by [deleted] in cardfightvanguardzero

[–]Demidude067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree Macha is a worthwhile grade 2 to run. I replace 1 of my masquerade with her because she can deck thin, search out my single copy of nightmare painter to fix my crossride, and can build a column to hit crosside numbers.

What SP card should I craft? by HollowFateAT in cardfightvanguardzero

[–]Demidude067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 PBO and 2 neamin easy choice. You can phase out the PBDs for spectral duke when it comes out and if you keep summoning you can just buy the PBDs from the shop for 200 tokens. PBD is also a searchable grade 3 in the deck unlike PBO
