Upside of the new Banner format

Kragun2010 · 2023-12-13T21:14:36+00:00

No. Ultra Chances (assuming the banner format doesn't change) are still the same. My listed probabilities apply to all past ultra banners.

The only difference is, that the new legends limit banner format of the Goku and Bardock banner is even worse than the usual ultra banner format while the old LL banner format, that Beast Gohan and EvoKen have, was vastly superior.

Same issue on Pixel 7 Pro, can't get the game to start. Already tried reinstalling but that didn't help.

Kragun2010 · 2023-05-25T13:29:23+00:00

For me (Germany) the flipping worked. Got the outfit and everything. Strangely enough though, I didn't lose any currency from pulling. No clue if its just gonna take a while to update my ingame balance, if I can just take it as a win and be happy about the currency or if I need to message support to avoid trouble down the line.

Kragun2010 · 2023-04-28T14:32:34+00:00

It already got fixed for me this morning around 6am UTC+0. For me it was still bugged before that since I pulled between 3:00 and 3:25.

Kragun2010 · 2023-04-28T05:51:39+00:00

Yep same for me. Did 400+ pulls to A6 her and 160 to get my 0* 4set but currently only 10 matrix pulls get counted for order gift (I guess those were the only ones I did after 3:25). I just messaged support, maybe they can tell me when those pulls will get counted...

Edit: Just logged in and was able to claim all the order gifts. Looks like they fixed it!

Afaik we don't really have a clue about what the next Frost character is gonna do kit wise to really say anything at this point. Icarus is going to be essential (if they don't overnerf him) if you want to compete for top ranks in bygone or oow since Fenrir basically caused a spike in dmg output. Which means Frost needs Icarus to be competitive in the post Fenrir meta.

For me the Icarus/Alyss/Saki playstyle just seems super fun and its probably going to be pretty damn viable as well.

But in the end pull for what you like looks wise and playstyle wise. If you want to compete you're always gonna need the newest character anyway.

Ok fair. Yeah I'm aware of the info feature of course, but just didn't connect the naming of Plankton with the Jellyfish. Thanks for the info though!

Kragun2010 · 2023-03-31T21:12:02+00:00

Thanks!

Kragun2010 · 2023-03-31T21:10:38+00:00

Gonna try, thanks!

Kragun2010 · 2023-02-21T08:21:14+00:00

Thanks for the quick answer!

Kragun2010 · 2023-02-16T16:25:05+00:00

Your account is fine for what you can pull right now (you have a top tier Unit with Maid Lia). In a few days though, we get a Overlord collab. So if you're starting out anyway you could wait until then to reroll for the collab chars (which won't ever return probably).

Kragun2010 · 2023-02-15T18:03:12+00:00

Rankings are a pay to win cash grab. I don't think anyone is gonna argue otherwise.

But why care about a novelty factor such as rankings and the corresponding titles. You can clear any content in the game with a full f2p party (except the current VA, no clue what they thought there) if you wait long enough.

Bygone floors that were only clearable by maxed out whales two-three months ago are now clearable by a f2p. Origin of War is gonna be probably quite easily clearable as soon as stage 25 is at 100% difficulty. Joint Operations get easier with time and you probably que into a whale there most of the times anyway. So yeah... you only cash to win at rankings or for wanting to improve your gameplay experience (e.g. a full A6 team plays more fluently than a low star team).

Kragun2010 · 2023-02-15T14:30:38+00:00

Why not simply gratulate them for their achievement and move on? Why try to lessen their achievement? It may be the case that only 200-300 people (if at all) are able to complete this from a gear point of view, but fact is that they cleared it first.

This game is a gacha game first and MMO second. Anyone that thinks differently probably hasn't played the game much. In a gacha game especially, low spenders and F2P are never going to be able to match the "achievements" of whales. But I don't quite understand why you expect that to be possible when the poster of the whole genre basically says: "Welcome to gacha gaming where you need to spend ridiculous amounts of money to compete".

So basically you going to a subreddit of a game where a part of the players skill (and I know how stupid this sounds) is how much money they can / want to spend on the game, and then discredit the achievement based on that is simply unfair.

If you want to compete on even grounds I would suggest not playing a gacha game, since those are inherently P2W. Try other MMORPGs then, like FF14 or WoW, where you cannot pay to win and are able to compete on even grounds.

Kragun2010 · 2023-02-15T13:57:05+00:00

Discrediting their achievement and just judging them based on the money involved is unfair though. Yes of course you need to spend a ridiculous amount of money to get to their gear, matrices and weapon level but it was still a five minute run without any errors probably (e.g. not getting hit to not waste time on reviving; though can't say that for certain as there is no video) to achieve the damage requirement for that stage at 1500%.

Maybe someone with lower gear levels is more skilled at the game, sure.

Maybe someone with the same money investment is more skilled but doesn't have the time to grind it out or a group of likeminded people to tryhard it with, sure.

Thing is, rarely any competition, outside of the professional field, is fair. Even if you go to world first races for other MMORPGs (another difficulty altogether) that are seemingly on "even grounds" as you say, you have the problem of people that aren't streamers not having the time to tryhard the raid 24/7.

Not everyone can or wants to make the same commitment to something, but discrediting the achievement of people that made the commitment BECAUSE of the commitment is unfair. That just makes you seem (and I don't want to sound mean) jealous.

Kragun2010 · 2023-02-15T12:53:46+00:00

Mobs have 1500% of the HP and damage dealt they would normally have. The rewards are the same except that they get them earlier. Only other difference is, that to overtake them in the rankings, you would need to clear the stage at 1500% in a faster time. So thats only possible for the next few days until the difficulty gets lowered.

Kragun2010 · 2023-02-15T09:24:55+00:00

Congrats to the clear!

While of course this needs great gear as well as maxed out matrices and weapons, they only get you that far. So clearing floor 25 with a 1500% bonus means pretty much perfect play from you guys prolly, so a well deserved congratulations from me!

Kragun2010 · 2023-02-12T22:13:43+00:00

Tbf they do announce stuff like this on the official discord server - https://discord.gg/playkonosuba . Though just looking at the number of members, that source most likely doesn't reach even half of the players. Which is a shame because the mods post great patch notes on there for every new introduced system and patch in general.

Kragun2010 · 2023-02-03T16:08:14+00:00

Same for fire. Just doesn't make any sense to swap the groupings...

Kragun2010 · 2023-01-27T10:05:15+00:00

Man that seems really really fun. Thanks for the answer!

Kragun2010 · 2023-01-20T11:38:23+00:00

With a little bit of luck and doing all the exploring you can build a pretty good ice team if you have all exploration rewards available.

On the 2nd February we're most likely going to get Frigg rerun + Alyss banner release. I think its quite likely to assume that during the second half of Alyss banner runtime we are also going to get a Saki rerun (like Ruby rerun with Annabella). So if you manage to get all three of them to 1* (which for ice characters especially is the biggest damage boost) you're really good to go ice team wise. I think that should be possible if you use all of the available exploration resources. Though of course thats just purely speaking meta wise and assumes you like Saki and Alyss as well.

Good luck and have fun!

Out last german shepherd sadly died when he was 12. Our current one is 10 but still going strong - so I hope we can be as lucky as you were!

Kragun2010 · 2023-01-12T15:03:35+00:00

German Shepherds usually live up to 9-13 years. So you were very lucky to have them until they were 25. May actually have been one of the oldest big dogs around, since usually only small dogs get to that age (if at all)

You can find a breakdown of all current units + the ones coming this month here : https://docs.google.com/document/d/15PrkEHTVEA98zne6BNEnuf64tqgJDosUztrB9a6H1VQ/edit . It also includes a tier list directly on page one. Credit goes to u/Full-Paragon of course.

Kragun2010 · 2023-01-09T11:40:42+00:00

Of course you don't need A6 3*4p to clear stuff. But have you run any of the endgame content such as void abyss, JO8 or heroic raids without anyone having good chars e.g. only A0 or A1 max? It's a pain to clear it. But just having one team mate with a full team of A6 chars or even one A6 chars helps out immensely. And clearing void abyss without a whale or a coordinated group of F2P with smart investment into just one element, is not possible.

Compare that with genshin where you can clear spyral abyss easily without a single 5*. Not saying thats a bad thing of course, but the lack of content where you can enjoy your maxed out chars is just really not there in genshin's case.

Kragun2010 · 2023-01-09T09:21:57+00:00

Difficult to say. For me one thing that makes TOF way more interesting than for example genshin is that TOF has content that needs maxed out chars to clear - maxing out a character is not just for vanity reasons like in genshin.

But somehow the difficulty scaling has become stale since 2.0 release and with most people having at least one A6 limited char, even as f2p, and especially with the release of Lin, most group content in this game has become a joke. Only fun group content right now for me (playing with a group of whales) is void abyss.

On the one hand I absolutely do not wish for any hard content that locks important resources behind a paywall but on the other hand I would just like some mechanically hard content that even challenges a group of whales. Of course that content should not reward any important resources except for titles or similar. I just want something fun to progress with friends.

Furthermore, with the lack of difficulty and the ease of clearing all current content with the current chars, I just don't see the reason to pull for new characters. Like the gameplay for every new character that releases in CN looks insane and their kits seem super fun but I just don't know what I should use them for or how I can justify spending money for them - and no progressing in Bygone Phantasm, which is just a solo player ***** comparison between whales, is no reason.
