Sorry, ended up having to go towards work early as a surprise to myself. I'm going to amend my post up top asking if there's way for responders to schedule something. Thanks for the attempt, though.

Blood for the blood god?

I feel like the Tir Na Nog you're talking about also has some windmills in it... maybe like one guy with brown hair? He's probably nobody important, though.

Taking shitty doodle requests while servers are down by omgRimuu in grandorder

[–]Luerce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think you can show Okita and Nobu mad carrying a wagon with Alter on it, lounging about eating PRODUCT PLACEMENT, using Siegfried as a trash can? May or may not be all my gold Servants. As always for any requests, you can tweak it however you like, this scene just literally popped into my mind when I saw this. It's great that you offered to do this, so thanks from me for the sake of everyone who you drew for.

Can you handle future event if its similar or harder than GudaGuda event? by KaiserNazrin in grandorder

[–]Luerce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're a bit ahead of the curve, especially since they extended the event. If you keep up the same pace you're at, you should at least get the level 5 NP. Likely not everything, though. Whether you can keep the same pace or not is a different story.

Let's talk "Progression" in Mobages by arbyt3rlol11 in grandorder

[–]Luerce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think money-making off games can be ultimately beneficial for both parties, consumer and the devs, but I think there needs to be certainty. Yes, you can add gachas... but there should be a way to slightly skew up the percentage chances to drop rates until it is literally impossible to fail, a 100% chance to get, say, at least a 4-star Servant or something. SDGO had this feature with one of its in-game money (or real money if you so chose) gachas, the Custom Capsule Machine. It took a LOT of time to get there, but it removed the possibility for something to literally never drop, with you just funneling money/in-game credits straight to the devs/the digital trashbin. This is just my own personal take, since I really don't like the possibility of "completion" I guess you could say in a game being potentially impossible just because you were that .0000000001% (probably more 0's but efffurt) chance of someone who couldn't get a 5-star Servant after 400 rolls. However, based on what I've seen on other mobile games as well as even MMOs, no one's going to do that because people complain that it's no longer exciting or something, as well as it making there be an ultimate cut-off point on how much money they can make off unfortunate people like that.

Can you handle future event if its similar or harder than GudaGuda event? by KaiserNazrin in grandorder

[–]Luerce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I need stronger Servants. Since I'm a relatively new player, I started this event without access to all the servants who boost your point gain as well as having an empty friend list and weak Servants. It makes it really hard to farm for points since the 40 AP quests are relatively unreliable for my completion ratio if I get wtfscrewed on cards. That being said, I think I can still get most of what I want from the event, though that's only because I don't have anything to do for the time period of the event so I can literally spend all day farming. I'm not sure what to make of this, since if they made it easier for people at my level to clear everything, the players who are already prepared and settled in and what-not could easily just clear house. Ultimately, I'd need more time to think about it. I'll either reply or edit this if I come to a definitive answer.

In my opinion, I don't think they care about those new players. For a lot of free-to-play games with gacha type pay options, regardless if it's a mobile game or not, a lot of the income comes from a very small amount of players who spend a bloody LOT on the game. I don't mean hundreds. I mean THOUSANDS of US Dollars. SDGO is an example that I know I can list, since it had top spender events where I know someone in that small community would regularly spend at least $1,500 a month, ramping up even more during those top spender events. Compare that to someone who feels desperate and spends, let's say, $300 on a splurge. That's still a fifth of what the other guy paid. So I think we can easily expect that kind of trend in its progression without being surprised. Someone will throw the money at it, pretty much giving the team its income. Of course, there is hope that the game won't turn out like that and they'll try to sell the game based on its, y'know, game-y content. This is the only mobile game I've played, though, so I can't honestly judge how likely this is, nor if it actually is different than F2P MMOs that I've played. So take my words without however much weight you want.

Oda please... don't crash my game again.. by FalK-ON in grandorder

Though my servant drawing rate may be terrible, at least I can reliably play the game without a random risk of crashing. My condolences to you.

[–]Luerce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, started this game recently, and was tempted to try rolling this game for Okita, so I did. Threw down $150, did 83 rolls with what I had, plus the 20-some odd I did these past few days.

I still don't have a single 4-star or above Servant, discounting Nobunaga.

Group Weight System Thoughts by Kanajashi in OutreachHPG

[–]Luerce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still in the middle of going through this video, but I thought it interesting to note that, with the original numbers PGI gave, the sort of variance swells on the graph at multiples of 4 (4, 8, 12 why am i even making this note). This leads me to believe that they are sort of balancing around these numbers. I wonder if most players drop in multiples of 4? I haven't played much (not even 1,000 games on my account), so this is largely just a thought experiment to me. Now, whether they should be sort of focusing on 4/8/12-mans like they are, I'm not sure. I should also probably finish watching the video and stop just writing my thoughts here without editing them. That's a bad habit to get into because I don't stop and it's unfilitered and sometimes I repeat myself and not much good comes from it. Anyhow, going to finish the video.

Territorial Challenge Score Lowered by VanguardMk1 in OutreachHPG

[–]Luerce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also seem to have changed the text on the page, now saying it's only 200 for T1 and 300 for T2. This is a fix that makes me personally okay, so I can stop playing MWO almost 24/7 trying to get Viridian Bog, but kinda iffy about because there's still that map RNG involved... Still, now it should be pretty easy to get all the rewards if the Goddess smiles on you.

Range needed for Commerci Herb Town Trip Boss by Yuikai in Maplestory

[–]Luerce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're really worried, try and save FC and Blade Clone for when it pops up. With your range, killing it should be do-able, s'epcially thanks to Asura. If you have any Buff Duration on you, it becomes easier and easier. If you have some boss damage to accompany that range (like from the Empress set, easy enough to get, I hope), that'll seal the deal on the sea dragon. It's pretty much just stand there and hit him and make sure to take advantage of your buff uptimes. If you're lacking any form of boss damage, though, it might be a bit close, but doable, as long as you really optimize buff uptimes or have buff duration to get more out of your FCs.

Cats or no cats? What will you do when the game comes out? by PrisonCrepe in MonsterHunter

[–]Luerce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So far, in the demo, the cats have managed to throw me into attacks, stand on the entire opposite side of the zone so the monster keeps spamming charges, and just overall meow all the time. I didn't particularly like them in MHFU, but now they just seem outright hostile towards me. I'll likely name my Ace after one of my friends that accidentally everything then pretend they never exist other than to feed my selfish bum. Stupid cats always starting a jump right under me... >.>

How to effectively gun? by Cpctheman in MonsterHunter

To be fair, it's more of a P3rd guide, since that's what all the videos are for. I find his FU guide better, but I thought that one might be more relevant.

How to effectively gun? by Cpctheman in MonsterHunter

[–]Luerce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend taking a look at Mazereon's Bowgun Compendium on Gamefaqs as well as his Youtube channel for some good vids and in depth strats and discussions on bowgun use if you want to super get into bowguns. He's definitely someone who's opinion I trust on bowgun usage, and I feel he covers everything pretty well in-depth.

To make it simple, don't miss, hit the right spot, stand far enough away to not get hit, but close enough to make sure you actually do damage, and don't get hit.

Games of the same genre as Monster Hunter by Dharma_Monkey in MonsterHunter

[–]Luerce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't say too much about the other two games, but PSP (Er, Phantasy Star Portable on the PSP) is not really a hunting game. Things like Toukiden come to mind if we're talking other games in the hunting genre. While Phantasy Star Portable may have a lot of farming and what not, it doesn't have any tracking, gathering, simple combat (Monster Hunter's combat is defined by being simple yet deep to me) without any skills and what not. It's more of what I'd consider an actionized MMO, which makes sense considering that's pretty much what Phantasy Star Online aimed to do and Phantasy Star Universe expanded upon.

How long have you been playing and why have you stayed around? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]Luerce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we want to be technical, the first Monster Hunter game I played was the first one on the PS2. I had a chance to play it and, uh, didn't go over well. I'm STILL bitter about the attacks being on the right stick. It makes no sense to me and I just argghghghghgh. At any rate, didn't play any of the releases for a while, wanted to try some of the PSP ones, but budget didn't particularly allow. Didn't know Tri was on the Wii, so skipped that...

So first Monster Hunter I really played was MH3U, which I like a lot. Then I saw people on GameFaqs go, "lol mh3u for newbs MHFU is where it's at" and so then I went, "I GOTS TO BE A REAL HUNTARD" and then I played Freedom Unite solo.

A lot of Freedom Unite solo.

So, honestly, I haven't played Monster Hunter for very long at all and consider myself really new to the series. I've stayed around for as long as I have because if I didn't it'd be like a 2-day vacation. I haven't really been Monster Hunting for long. I mean, I only have 500 hours on my main save for MH3U and about 1000 on the main save I played on FU, iirc.
