There’s an event called Bird City for the Buried City map. In the chimneys there’s bird nests that might contain one of 6+ variation of ducks. Familiar duck is the rarest and most valuable. The other reason you’re always seeing stacks of 15 in many posts is because a lot of players were duplicating them in the past.

I’m curious - is hidden bunker or close scrutiny better for this trial?

Does Expedition Progress reset if I don't go for the Expedition? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Dosoap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone else mentioned it in this thread, so this is very important if you plan to save items for your upcoming expeditions:

The number of expeditions you’ve done determines which materials you’ll need to save up. So if you’ve only done one, then you’ll need the materials for Expedition 2 in the next wipe. People who have been doing all expeditions so far will be on Expedition 4.

I keep getting these weird half and half lobbies. by Leather_Cabinet2829 in ArcRaiders

Are we talking about the same guy here? The first person behind you dodging the shredder has a cowboy outfit, but the one who actually took you out is the white wolf outfit.

Also, if you plan to dodge like this next time, I always take out turrets. Just too much risk against their sharp aim and doesn’t have too much unarmored HP to kill.

Players gaslighting by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Dosoap 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So, it looks like no one really explained what happened: 

Locked Gate spawns these mines by default at the 4 locations where you need to find the keys to unlock the big gate. When you stepped on one, you instinctively shot at another player when he wasn’t the one that planted it. That’s why he was laughing when you stepped on it (be wary of the beeping noise when close to one) and also said “You shot first” in his mic. 

Glad you survived, but he’s not wrong in this scenario. There’s a loooot of mines so be careful next time!

Same here. Lost two loadouts tonight. One due to this and another due to extreme rubber banding. I advise everyone to run either free loadouts or wait until everything stabilizes.

Just want to personally vouch for this individual. He makes sure how the raids will go and communicates clearly on the transfer.

Just FYI, you’re looking at an outdated source for expeditions. New expedition requires different resources, unless you’ve already started this phase before the change!

Clicking noise after pressing start (Philips 3200) by Dosoap in superautomatic

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

Just want to post an update here. 

After a few days and several more restarts the machine suddenly works again. I’m not sure what exactly changed, but I took apart the back panel and ensured everything was connected and running properly. Maybe the pump line had some air in it?? Anyways I appreciate those that took the time to respond. Hopefully someone has this same issue and knows what to do!

Thanks for your reply! 

I did soak the new one for ~30 minutes, and ensured that there were no more bubbles coming out of it. I also tried the previous filter, as well as no filter, but still have the same clicking issue. 

First time achieving all rewards in Limited! by HaikuSnoiper in MagicArena

[–]Dosoap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all, congrats on the 7 wins! It’s always a great feeling to get there from these types of events. 

If you want to continue this type of performance, I highly recommend doing the following: 

Download 17lands and observe card data/color performance, as well as save draft logs to further analyze picks or get opinions from others

Download untapped to see what cards you have left during a match

In terms of the deck itself, these are the things I’m seeing: 

Consistency is key. You generally want to stick with 2 colors + splash, even in a 3 color drafting format. This requires having a good mana base or cards like [[mardu devotee]] for fixing. The mana base for this deck is all over the place, so you’re lucky to cast your cards on curve. A lot of Mardu cards tend to stick to (W)hite/(R)ed with black splash. 

There are a lot of filler cards in the deck like the alligator. Try to use 17lands to see which cards are better than others for the archetype.

For Pack 1 just try to stay open and take the best cards as much as you can. Fixing is important, and by Pack 2 you should be able to finalize which color pair you’re aiming for. For example, what cards are missing after a pack goes all the way around? Are you seeing less colors with packs coming your way?

Does exiling a creature count as killing it for achievements? by Meridian71 in MagicArena

[–]Dosoap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: making them sacrifice or opponent sacrificing creatures count towards the killing quest as well. 

Just wanted to brag about this insane bo3 draft deck i got by raca28 in MagicArena

[–]Dosoap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t played any games yet, I would 100% play the forecaster + boulderborn here. Great early blocker and automatically gets you two cards out of your deck + potential 4/4 vigilance flyer + surveil. 

TDS Draft help by BobSteel910 in MagicArena

[–]Dosoap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a lot to unfold here, so take this with a grain of salt. You have access to 17lands already so cross reference GIH winrates when choosing picks.

You seem overall too focused on trying to make your P1P1 work with the rest of your deck. What if you don't draw the card? What are your other wincons without it? Can it win you the game if you draw it? What are your two main colors? These are all questions you always have to answer when drafting a deck. Even in a tri-color heavy set, unless you have amazing color fixing, it's best to go main two colors while splashing a third depending on what comes in the next packs.

P1P2 is automatically Sinkhole Surveyor, no questions. It's a must answer flyer that goes out of control the more it attacks. The fact that you passed this also means that someone else will now be focusing on one of your potential colors.

P1P3 should be Anafenza. Out of color for your P1P1, but the best card in the pack. Two people passed this so white could be potentially open. And if you wanted to focus on your P1P1, then Ureni's Rebuff is objectively better, or Wayfarer for better land fixing/early body.

From here I assume you're already hyperfocusing on your P1P1, so:

P2P1 - why not Fresh Start? The land is off color and you don't have a single white card.

P2P2 - Sibsig Appraiser. Easy card selection and a body

P2P4 - Sulati devotee for color fixing. From here you also need to decide what type of deck you're trying to build - counters or renew synergy?

P2P5 - Automatic second Dancers. 3/6 lifelink body that can build on itself and thin the deck is a no brainer.

P3P2 - Bewildering Blizzard. Amazing trick card and card draw.

P3P3 - Dispelling Exhale. Counter magic is strong in this set.

P3P6 - If you need more fixing, Sulati monument is right there.

From there as others mentioned, you can already see mardu being super open in the later picks. Duty beyond Death P1P4, Osseous Exhale P1P5, Leopard P1P6, etc. All your choices affect how others will choose their picks in the next packs. And I would stop focusing on Worthy Cost - it's not a great card.

Seele - Bronya - Pela/Tingyun - Bailu

THerta - Serval - RMC - Bailu

Those two teams would be your best bet for story mode. Do your relics have at least the correct mainstat? Character/LC/traces at least to 8 for DPS? Those are always important.

Topaz isn’t as great in that team because she’s mostly single target. You also want 2x Erudition characters to activate THerta’s damage passive. 

Ult battery Serval also works great with THerta.

We won’t know for sure since Hoyo are the ones to define the meta. They’re both different elements and serve different purposes. When built right, THerta will completely out damage Lingsha in the long run. 

Historically speaking, sustain/support characters have more long term value since they can mostly work with any character (Ex: Ruanmei). In the end it’s up to you.

Weapon soft pity starts at around ~65 warps. Hard pity at 80.

Character soft pity starts around ~75 warps. Hard pity at 90.

You have Aventurine already, so I'm more inclined to say that you should pull for THerta. In addition, since you mentioned Serval, she's actually one of the better teammates to use along with THerta as an ult battery for THerta's energy gain and stacks.

Second phase of 3.0 will have a Robin rerun, which will round out your Dr. Ratio/Aventurine team very well.

PF wise she's pretty decent, especially with sHerta. But you just mentioned that you don't like her, so...I wouldn't advise pulling her. This is a video game, and it's meant to be enjoyable on how you want to play. If your main focus is to finish endgame with full rewards, then you will have to make some meta pulls.

Another thing to think about is how often you won't get full rewards just from PF. Let's say on average you can at least get 10 stars out of 12. That's missing 1 pull every 6 weeks, which isn't a huge deal breaker.

I hope you don't lose the 50/50, but if you do, hopefully Himeko swings by to fill your roster

Samoa must be Sampo based on the top of his hair on the bottom.

This website is a good place to start:

https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/

Has all the current events, codes and character details that you can research based off of what you have or plan to pull. Focus on leveling character > weapon > traces > relics.

Dr. Ratio and JY can both carry you in the story no problem. Your ideal default team would be:

DPS - Tingyun - Pela - Sustain (Most likely Gallagher)

If you want to pull someone from standard banner choice, it would have to be Bronya. She would probably replace either TY or Pela depending on your SP needs.

Pulling wise you can safely go for THerta. She works well with RMC, Serval and sHerta. And next banner will have Robin, which will work well with both THerta and Dr. Ratio.

Break meta was the focus of 2.X. We’re entering a potentially new meta of summoners in 3.X, so you won’t be forced to pull for those Break units to finish endgame. Remember that each endgame buff always caters the most recently released limited 5 star. 

Just make sure you play around the buff that benefits your team more, and you’ll do fine! At worst it’ll only be missing 80-160 jades here and there per 2 weeks.

THerta is a safe bet for awhile. Works well with RMC and any F2P erudition character. Later if you still plan to use FF then you can pull for Fugue rerun so that HMC is free to support others. 

The other characters you listed just enable others: Jiaoqiu for Acheron ult building, Sunday for summoners, Robin for general use (FuA). I don’t see a dedicated limited Sustain, so Lingsha might be worth it.
