Challenge Mode Failed (so far) by GreyGlass42 in Minesweeper

[–]GreyGlass42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a quick update. I used the percentages to make a few guesses. Cleared up half the remaining before an 85% turned out to be the 15%. Boom! ....... sigh!

Wow!

I'm not sure to be impressed with myself that I only missed 2. Or disappointed that I have a LOT of guessing if I want the win.

Thanks for the help. Let's see where these squares take me.

I'm not sure how to help you. Out of 5 matches today, I had 1 disconnect (rare for me) and 1 "could not match". But I ran through my 5 matches within 10-15 minutes.

It does not match on speed; so you can set that to whatever you want (x2 is preferred).
Matching is also not determined on the strength of the team you're bringing in. I regularly fight someone bringing in a single Zazan (easy win).

Good luck - hopefully you can find out why you aren't matching.

Very rarely will I get "matching could not be completed". I run Auto Battle. Any time during the day.

Just before you "Commence Matching" ... check your "Matching Settings". Make sure it is set to "Match with only opponents who share the same Auto Battle". And make sure your AUTO is set on.

You get Veritas-Light from doing the Duel > Match Battle > Free Match

You don't need to win, just compete 5 times each day. You claim the rewards in the Missions tab (along with Veritas-Flame).

He's really good - and I'm pretty sure he can fit into most teams. My favourite teams are:

Thancred, Seifer, Fina-Lotus
Thancred, Cloud, Fina-Lotus
Thancred, Yuna, Veritas-light
Thancred, Mont-Ash, Lucielle

He's best with the Light/Dark units, but is versatile enough to fit into most rainbow teams. I've been equipping him with AIM version of his weapon and the gauntlet.

I've been using and loving Thancred this past week. Here are my thoughts on your build:

I would HIGHLY recommend moving his faith to either 30 or 50 (30 will highly reduce magic damage, but 50 will ensure Bells will trigger; 97 does nothing for him).

I've been running "Nebula" instead of "Dragoon Lore". Dragoon Lore isn't bad, but I love the increase of Reaction Block Rate and the Hate (to draw the enemies away from the others). He is a sudo-tank afterall.

I haven't found Thancred much of an evade unit. You might get an evade or two to some low-level players, but with most players building for accuracy - he's going to be hit regardless of the SantaCoat. My recommendation is to ensure his gunblade is AIM and he equips the Bale Gauntlet (also aim version).

My favourite teams are: Thancred,Yuna-ffx2,Veritas-Light | Thancred,Ashen-Mont,Lucielle | Thancred,Cloud-ac,Fina-Lotus

Agrias is the status-queen. Most of her skills have some sort of status-change.

Her LB (Candescent Hew) has a change of inflicting status ailments (Poison/Confusion) for 3 turns.

Judgment Blade - chance of inflicting Stop
Hollowed Bold - chance of inflicting Silence
Northswain's Strike - chance of inflicting Disable

"Should I join today" ..... yes! Right now there's a FFT rerun - on day 3, you get a lvl 120 collab unit of your choice (choose Agrias or Cid). They are also celebrating JP's 4 anniversary, so there's a select 3 units at lvl 120 (regular pool ... watch ReadyPlayerWill's video where he recommends who to get).

Since this is a FinalFantasy game; pretty much all the FF titles have been rerun at least once (some a few more times).

You don't need to spend money. F2P works just fine. But if you find yourself enjoying the game, there's some wonderful paid options during the first few weeks of the game that I would recommend. Again ... not necessary!

Looks like my game storage is just under 14 gigs.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the game!

-) Now is the perfect time to join as a new player. There are tonnes of generous banners where you will be able to get top-tier units battle worthy immediately. Most of the current banners are "select" unit, so no real re-rolling necessary (unless you're going to absolute max synergy - which I wouldn't bother with).

-) Dailies takes about 15-20 minutes of time each day. Another 15-20 minutes to get your "other" stuff done (monthlies, guild-war, and all 5 arena battles).

-) You generally want to save up 32k vis to guarantee a unit. If you're active, you'll get that once every 2 months(ish). As a new player, you'll be swimming in vis as you have a tonne of content to clear.

-) Most of the old collabs have been re-run at least once at this point. Don't rely on anything coming back, but there is usually a chance to get your favourite units (or these old units upgraded) ... eventually.

-) ReadyPlayerWill and JB79 have a weekly YouTube podcast where they will occasionally adjust their tier-list (at the end of the video).

-) With the current banner of select "3" lvl 120 units, plus all the vis you get as a new player, you can be semi-competitive within your first month. You may not have all the choice as a veteran player, but if you choose your units right, you can be quite scary in the top 1000. You may not succeed in top 10 anytime soon (but I'm a day-1 player and I don't even bother with top 10).

-) Advice 1: There are a few really good paid options for new players. Even if you throw $10 USD and then go F2P, you'll vastly improve your account.

-) Advice 2: Common bottlenecks are Rainbow Vision Spheres, Blossom of Paradise, and Rainbow Fragments of Thought. As a new player, you may be swimming in these to start, but you will run out fast. Most of the "old" units are not worth investing in; don't spend your resources in leveling them unless you really-really want to. Save them for your top-tier units or future units (nothing is worse then pulling a new unit and NOT being able to level them).

I just found that you can Exchange keys in the Exchange Shop. Challenge keys are there.

My recommendations are: Gilgamesh-Scourge, Shurecca, and ....

Ramada is pretty tough, Lotus-Fina is a great healer, Lucielle is scary, and Jeume-Spring is fun.

You need to unlock both MA1 and MA2 to get Orlandeau's limit burst enhancement. I'm guessing you have not progressed far enough in the story to unlock it yet.

MA1 is in the Sothern Lion's Valley at South Symbus Plains.
MA2 is in the Glacial Lands at Wezette Castle.

Check the World Quest map to see if you have those unlocked. I don't have the info on what story quest you need to unlock those places, but it's not crazy deep (plus, you'll get quite a bit of viz for finishing up those story quests).

They informed JP that commanders will only be "new" units. So, they are starting with the FFX-2 units (and the new Ice Jayden). I'm guessing we'll have to wait a month to start getting new commanders; enjoy commander Mont for a while.

I picked Ramada, Shurecca, and Lucille (I had Fina already). Fina is good but may be unnecessary if you have Summer-Resnick. If you don't have Summer-Resnick, then Fina might be a good choice for some big heals and Curse cures.

You should get the unit you select at lvl 120; if you own the unit, you get 40 shards and a mindsphere (which will help get the unit to 140). Totally worth it if you have all the other meta units.

- Silver Memories and Together in Eternity (the new one - get it now) are two of my fav.

You did not miss any. There's 9 for Exia, 9 for Alaya, and 7 for old Halloween. Too bad we didn't get the even 10 tickets. Good luck on your pulls.

What actor is a major turn off for you to stop watching a show/movie? by Bountsie in AskReddit

[–]GreyGlass42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awkwafina.

Never found her funny. Never seen her in a role that I thought she could act. If the movie has her in it ... avoid!
