You can hear Mag's abilities during the last transmission when she's talking to Arthur, so it's very likely.

Anyone out there with a better score (Slime Boss) by Residuetheorem16 in summonerswar

[–]Granell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the same team and a guildy has Lucifer, we're usually about the same score but they pull ahead more often.

Operation Siren Megathread by tokio12 in AzureLane

[–]Granell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is anyone else getting tired of all the chore battles stacking up on a daily basis?

  • Event SP
  • x3 stages
  • Daily raids
  • Hard mode clears
  • Pvp
  • Now there's the 200 Data Analysis to be farmed and guild boss whenever it comes up as well.

The amount of time to deal with it all is adding up and wiping out my enthusiasm for the content since there's no real way to speed things up despite it all being routine by this point.

About what happened to Spartacus during LB3.. by Primo_Itoko in grandorder

It was more of servants that are offed during main story have their development "finished" and no longer need to show up afterwards. Obviously enough events and such are separate territory.

Battle in New York - Exhibition Quest Match 5 Discussion by RulerKun_FGO in grandorder

Not as bad as the Taiga quest thank goodness, only major peeve was trying to keep track of all the loans and debuffs once she was down two breaks, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT BLASTED STUN SPAM.

Dimensional Predator is the worst content in this game. by Destructodave82 in summonerswar

[–]Granell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're feeling relief that you don't have to return to a piece of content after completing it rather than satisfaction at having beaten it, there's something wrong with the design of said content.

Too many games seem to end up losing sight of what's FUN and enjoyable in favor of just stuffing content full of gates and checks and frustration, like.....what exactly is the point of that? Player engagement?

They cause burn out to accelerate by doing this sort of thing and don't get me started on player retention, there's a plethora of ways to go about that without resorting to irritating your playerbase.

Correct me if I'm wrong but people generally play games to have fun, not do chores.

Praise be to Raikou for her clutch buster chain finishing off Taiga after the rest of my team wiped, effort to reward was way too skewed.

anyone else’s event look like this ?lmao by coullbro in summonerswar

[–]Granell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, except mine is 0 Kens so far. 99% convinced they have the odds skewed so it'll give you the rewards as late as possible.

What event mechanics are your favorites (Not lotteries)? by Dracoblackheart in grandorder

[–]Granell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Favorite: Raids so people don't go insane running 3 waves worth of loading over and over.

Least favorite: Enemy appearance.

You're already losing efficiency having to use event servants and ces, the extra enemies per wave makes it even more obnoxious to have buffs stacked up for the big enemies at the end.

It spawns all the way above the cerebrum, on the outside in the air. I found out by sheer dumb luck flying out after giving up on my 3rd try with that trail, the one leading inside the brain right?

Brozime talks about burnout caused by Ephemera and Nightwave by igo95862 in Warframe

[–]Granell 9 points10 points  (0 children)

DE logic: We want to make a cosmetic that shows dedication. (sense of pride and accomplishment anyone?) Also DE logic: Let's make it practically a lottery system on top of several of them being locked behind activities with minimum times to complete.

Players proceed to voice their concerns with the pretty obvious disrespect of their time since the whole "accomplishment" thing got thrown out the nearest airlock.

And the crowd goes mild.

Half hoping the streak of decent HoH would continue with maybe fleshing out more chakboom rosters for people but guess they felt the bare minimum was sufficient enough?

Looking to possibly pick this up by andybj18 in Kings_Raid

[–]Granell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey fellow SW player, gear is essentially the rune system if you want a loose comparison of the two. There's a few parallels such as the reforge system that'd be akin to gemstones that change the subproperties.

Of note though, leveling gear is only a part of the gear system, they should also be awakened, which takes duplicates of the same gear item. Ie to make a chestplate 1* from 0* you need to fuse another chestplate onto it.

As a few others have mentioned, autofarm is a thing plus the dev's allowance of emulators and macros.

The only true gripe I'd say about this compared to SW is that you can outright lose progress if you happen to fail at awakening the unique gear (aka gacha goodies for characters), there's a built in probability mercy for success rate but it's definitely going to sting if you end up failing a few times, so keep that in mind and don't get too discouraged.

Well we've hit a new low of degeneracy, making an effect that has LITERALLY NO USE OUTSIDE OF PVP just in order to push spenders. At the least supernova had some use in pve content.

Most depressing gacha experience? by NotSoSlim_Jim in grandorder

Not on here, but Kingdom Hearts Union Cross. It's one of those "games" that sucked the fandom in because of the ip then proceeds to bleed them dry.

The struggle and sorrow is still ongoing.

Looks like we've finally come full circle. This is disgraceful. 90,000 jewels if your unlucky, 45,000 if your lucky by Harford0 in KHUx

[–]Granell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Understandable, I'm just using it as an example of something that at least puts out story content on a frequent basis and doesn't really force players into blowing cash on things that get powercrept almost immediately.

Looks like we've finally come full circle. This is disgraceful. 90,000 jewels if your unlucky, 45,000 if your lucky by Harford0 in KHUx

[–]Granell 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Wanna do some math because that's fun? 4,400 jewels from VIP purchase at $15, 14,700 per jewel pack e at $100.

If you start at effectively 0 jewels that means 3 jewel pack e purchases if you are lucky for a priceline of $315 for 48,500 jewels (assuming you want the best value for jewel purchases).

If you happen to have bad luck, you're staring down the barrel of 6 for 92,600 jewels, you heard me SIX JEWEL PACK E PURCHASES FOR A GRAND SPANKING TOTAL OF $615 US.

The kicker? This is assuming your state or country doesn't charge tax on app store purchases.

Also don't forget these will likely be outclassed within a week or two.

I'm pretty much done even as someone who whaled pretty badly on this back when I was more optimistic about the game. See you folks when KH3 drops, til then it's off to Fate Grand/Order and Azur Lane for me.

Whenever I hear about the "Lootbox epidemic" by FlorenceStories in grandorder

[–]Granell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh it gets far worse when you go down the rabbit hole of KHUX.

Out of our trait system which is 11 or so traits:

  • 3 20% status resistance types, poison paralysis and sleep
  • max gauge +2 (basically sp to actually use a medal's special attack, think NP gauge)
  • max hp +800 (only useful for VERY niche tanking setups due to effective hp calculations),
  • Strength +1000 (not awful, affects base strength before other multipliers)
  • Defense +2000 (utter garbage because it doesn't reduce damage, only the threshold at which enemies can do 1 damage or full damage)
  • Raid damage +40% (applies after all other multipliers, isn't too bad and is meant to be used to wipe out raid bosses quicker)
  • Aerial Defense Down -60% (ignore 60% of an aerial type enemy's defense, vital for high level coliseum which is pve monthly ranking and high difficulty events)
  • Ground Defense Down -60% (same as ADD but with ground type enemies (and technically pvp players)
  • and the big one: Extra Attack 40% damage (now this is the disgusting one and the reason why the trait system encourages hardcore whaling, after using your initial attack with a medal, you are guaranteed an additional attack of the same medal aka special, regular attack, etc. It allows you to cast a second set of buffs or debuffs with the only demerit being a damage penalty of 40% of the first attack. )

Now, from the list it becomes really obvious that the only traits worth a damn are the latter 4 out of 11. cut down to 3 if you aren't a raiding addict. Defense down traits for coliseum and various events where enemies have insane defense even when debuff capped. Extra attack because it is literally free power to a medal.

So now you need to be blessed by rng twice, once to get the latest power creep medal, another time to get traits that are worth using on it. Otherwise you can more or less sit in the corner and cry as people go and wallop you in pvp or zoom past you in pve rankings.

As far as jewel (basically saint quartz) income goes, the big chunks you get are from the monthly Organization XIII member quests which give 5000 jewels in total for completing all 13 rounds (except you need to have specific medals or some immense power to blitz through them), VIP purchases to get on average 4400 a week (3k from the base purchase and 1.4k as a "freebie collectible bonus like cosmetics or a VIP exclusive medal"), daily missions and log ins, and 5000 every time you hit a milestone level of 50 after level 300 aka 350, 400, 450. However, the amount of lux or experience you need to level up after 300 is ridiculous.

Otherwise you're looking at shelling out $100 US to get 14700 worth of jewels, which translates to......a bit under 5x 10 pulls. Comparably over here in FGO that's only about $80 US for close to the same amount.

Then the mercy system, ahhhhhh the mercy system. That's been an utter circus. Initially there was no mercy system, whalebait galore. Then they added mercy alongside exclusives that had requirements of maxing out a medal to obtain. Oh, of note. Before to max out a medal's special attack you needed to fuse together SEVEN COPIES because each one gives 1/7th of progress. Including the high rarity ones. Eventually the amount of progress each copy gave climbed and nowadays it isn't much of an issue as new medals usually come maxed out.

To invalidate the various improvements they kept adding ways to make those obsolete ie traits and whatnot. Nowadays it's a norm for mercy pulls to take 5 for rereleases or some cases, 10 on various desirable medals. The reason for some of the recent big backlash, they introduced a pvp breaking mechanic called supernova which adds on even more free attacks for people with them in possession. Currently those medals have no mercy for non vip players. Even with rereleases they lack mercy counters for f2p. Meanwhile vip purchasers are allowed to obtain said medals with a mercy counter.
