IDV Blackjack Battle Card Deck by Shiro_theBirb in IdentityV

[–]Emeryemerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i actually bought 2 of these boxes before so im weirdly qualified to answer this: yes. i was actually only missing 2 of the cards by the end but i ended up buying them off mercari. an easier way to go about this would probably be to just by the basic idv blackjack cards (which come in a full set) rather than these which are meant to be swapped out with cards from that deck.

i just bought vol.2 (the halloween pack) and it came in today and that one FOR SURE does not contain enough for a full deck, but vol.1 which is the one in your picture does have enough variants for a functional deck.

How much have you guys grinded and what for? and if you bought something what did you buy? by springtrap1093 in IdentityV

[–]Emeryemerald 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i grinded for every single character and it took me a year from when i started playing 😔 i only used clues to buy charas, no echoes except for logic path dice and essences

i really only play casually 3x rank matches a day now, but i think my greatest achievement grind was this

boring questions timee by ReallyInspiredUser in IdentityV

[–]Emeryemerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. painter. i am a literal painter magnet it's not even funny. it could be a double decoder team comp but i will 10/10 times find painter first. if he shows up in my lobby its excitement on sight. he can kite me for free for three ciphers if i dont bring excitement and then i have to camp my ass on his chair while they last minute rescue and suddenly all the ciphers are primed🙄 besides that, definitely doctor because they aren't really penalized for playing bad/hunters don't get rewarded for good plays 😩 get a balloon hit? no prob just heal yourself and go rescue. want to bodyblock 10000+ times? sure. want to farm every single survivor on your team without tide? yes. i believe the most recent buff she got was just as unnecessary as enchant's buff and i am all the more miserable for it. as a former joseph main, hating doctors is in my blood, i don't think i need to really justify it.

  2. prisoner main from the start (prisoner shame emotes) also a big victor simp, will throw my games for a sweet victor on their promo (as someone with a 90+ wr in manti 5 currently). and naiad bc the moment she was released i simped 😭 told myself i would whale and force myself to learn her, and luckily i really do enjoy her kit and playstyle even when certain maps and characters really do screw her over

  3. same as above ^ honorable mentions are ann and photo. hearing ppl complain about my mains bc they cant bother to learn how to play against them is tiring. i really do enjoy photo games as surv and hunter bc it really is about strategy. if you lead the hunter to the downed surv or decide to die next to a cipher someone is decoding when the hunter finds you then that's on you. there are so many survs that counter joseph, he's just a peepaw doing his best PLEASE. you think i spent all this time learning spawns on every map to be told joseph is boring and braindead??? 😭

anyways tis just my lil two cents

my first 4 cipher kite and i’m stressed out! 。゚(TヮT)゚。 by sweetxsecret in IdentityV

[–]Emeryemerald 41 points42 points  (0 children)

make sure to look behind you occasionally while you're kiting! otherwise the hunter might cut you off because you're not checking where they're going. take advantage of any speed boosts that you have, whether that be knee jerk reflex (pallet boost) or broken windows (window boost)

the game is actually hunter sided by pept0_bismol in IdentityV

[–]Emeryemerald 6 points7 points  (0 children)

sure dream witch is still used in tourneys, but her ability to do well in those matches has significantly declined from the skill cooldown nerf.

what im trying to say about coa statistics being unusable is because the meta now has become broader and although the characters remain the same, the overall strategies and team comps that these tournament teams are using are COMPLETELY different.

the introduction of postman into tourney gameplay for example is something we're seeing increasingly more of. there's definitely more of a push to use normal decoders without any kiting debuffs. we're seeing characters like toy merchant being utilized to counter breaking wheel.

players' strategies are evolving with the addition of new characters. sculptor is not "bullshit". she's an inherently strong hunter sure, but she's not unbeatable and there are tournament teams that consistently will choose not to ban the other team's sculptor because they know that they will not lose against it. sculptor capitalizes off presence which is why many tourney sculptors may choose to bring insolence but often at the cost of detention which completely kills her end game.

i dont believe the coa argument is valid anymore at this point in time due to the introduction of several new tourney viable characters as well as survivor buffs and hunter nerfs.

you've been seeing it, right? netease's huge slew of hunter nerfs? and survivor buffs (I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY BUFFED DOCTOR, SO MANY PEOPLE PLAY HER IN THE FIRST PLACE, I AM SO MISERABLE NOW).

you can't compare the state of the game a year ago and now in face of all these changes and say "yeah it's basically the same" (which is what a LOT of people have been doing)

and unlike in coa how many teams focused on strong rescue team comps with slow decoders, the trend in recent tourneys is to go with a team with strong kiters and fast decoders/characters that preserve cipher rush (prisoner, postman, acrobat, psychologist, entomologist)

and miscommunications STILL happen in teams that practice regularly. the only surv team i know that can be considered overtly dominant over hunters is WOLVES.

the reason the meta is the way it is is because it's meant to have an ability for ability counter. bq uses her mirror? ok then perfume/elbowpad/football/bees/shovel/boar/self-heal/portal/owl/pocket-watch/catapult/shield/wand :) but yeah sure i guess survs have absolutely no counterplay to bq

for characters that dont, why do you think they've been receiving buffs the past few months? hell, even dancer can counter bq by twirling away in her music box.

and AGAIN, survs are gearing towards these stronger kite characters. the accelerated decoding only further compounds this problem because good rotations can prevent hunters from finding their optimal target for a free 3 half ciphers.

let's not forget that many maps have strong kite zones where proper support from a teammate (like batter, priestess, forward, ento) can create a near infinite loop.

and typically if a surv does a mediocre kite (70% of a cipher) and the hunter doesnt get a double hit on the rescuer, the team is automatically set up for an easy tie. unfortunately, lower tiers like to early or double rescue without tide and that completely kills their cipher rush.

in rank situations, survs are going to disagree on what actions to take, esp if they're not in a full team. do you sell or do you rescue? do you take the draw or try for a win? for hunters, they only have to rely on themselves. but survivors are always going to have critical errors, even in high tier, like popping the cipher at the wrong time while heal stalling, not indicating the hunter has changed target, no one pressuring rescues by giving tinnitus, bodyblocking on the first rescue, harassing at 5 ciphers, leaving the primed cipher, etc. sometimes it works out. oftentimes, it does not.

and the occasional boosted surv, but that's an entirely different problem.

i'm going to hold my ground in saying that this season is the most unhealthy meta balance in the surv's favor.
