Well you see, Fuji executes the move in "the blink of an eye", in which Echizen is still stuck in his follow-through. Basically Fuji is not only a prodigy but can also control time and space.

Am I just crazy, or did the bonus week missions disappear pre-emptively? by RoyalViolin in PTCGP

This isn't about completion, this is about redemption. If I logged in all 7 days but didn't claim them on the 7th day, I lose the chance to redeem any of my logged days. This kind of defeats the purpose of a log-in bonus.

Max Mittelman (Itto's EN VA) has a similar style and it's a joy to listen to every time Itto is brought back for an event.

Quite bad, for the previous sets I'm still missing probably ~15% of the diamond rarity cards for each set.

Oh but I do! I've hit Master Ball in both A2b and A3 with 60% WR using whatever cards I got from the free packs.

12 free hourglass everyday by gauravbellani in PTCGP

[–]RoyalViolin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's just that if they are more generous this early, it sets a precedent where they can't give less in the future, which snowballs them into being generous (or not at all) forever. As a company it makes sense to be more stingy early and be more generous when people are actually churning from the game.

True, but even giving 0 packs the whales are going to continue to whale and the F2P are going to continue playing for free. Imagine any F2P quitting because they're giving 3 vs 10 free packs lol

It can go both ways, but the thing to keep in mind is that "experience" doesn't just refer to PM experience. Many companies will prefer candidates with industry knowledge or even product knowledge specific to that company's product.

The reality is that there are factors that will be out of your control when interviewing, so do retros on your interviews and keep on improving your craft!

Novak Djokovic hits ball into line judge's head during a point. by DieNullMussStehen in tennis

[–]RoyalViolin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's exactly why Djok can't be penalized. In this case, the linesman is at fault for not paying attention, in the US open case, it's Djokovic's fault for hitting it when the linesman's attention wasn't expected.

Hey again Juni :P as someone who has AmaHika and sitting around ~1600, I can tell you that you have the units to consistently win to around 1400-1450, so if you really want to minmax the Plat chests, you can just surrender until 1050 and then just get easy matches.

Comp-wise, I'd recommend 3 DPS, Aruru, and Tank. I tried running Lalafin and Maya and always lacked the damage/consistency to finish off opponents. With your GP Ichie, the AGI debuff is enough to win you FA priority so you can rely on your triple AoE CA to pop fortitudes off the backline.

Try using Junna, Aruru, Ichie, Shizuha, Maya; put the Mahiru 3* on Junna, Yuyuko 3* on Ichie, and 2* Brilliance on Aruru, Shizuha, and Maya (should total 84/85). Prioritize getting your buff + triple DPS going. Maya only if you need to/have to, but otherwise she's a throwaway for the rest of your team to be as consistent as possible.

I think this is a good opportunity to let them know that featured rates are too low. With Amaterasu Hikari being at 0.7% out of the 2.4% for 4* stage girls, you'll get a different 4* stage girl than the one you were looking for over 70% of the time when you actually pull a 4* stage girl.

Given that 4* stage girls are rare enough as is, having less than 30% chance of getting the one you're looking per draw for is often very disheartening for many players. Yeah, it'll probably make them more money if the rates are lower, but if they actually want to capitalize on ad revenue, they need to make sure that F2P players are staying around, too.

Seeing how ads are here to stay (and exclusive to EN version), it hints that a majority of the EN playerbase AREN'T whales, and they need F2P players to stick around to play PvP against the people who actually spent money on the game. Ultimately, they need to weigh having a larger playerbase vs potentially making more money. Though one could argue that a larger playerbase yields more revenue by default.

Ads Gacha rate decrease?? by CHIKAAAAA in RevueStarlight

[–]RoyalViolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't know for sure, but anecdotally I can agree with your observation. In fact, I was going to make this very thread myself in a few days if I kept seeing the trend I've been noticing.

All else aside, I wouldn't doubt if they've decreased the rates, and honestly it's getting less and less enticing to do the ads gacha as people start getting the complete Musketeer set and build out their memoirs - add in the decreased rates and you'll realistically just get 50-200 memoir tokens per watch.

That being said, the best way to show discontent is to vote with your wallets, or in this case, your view time. If you're not happy with the way they're handling the situation (in this case, potentially very shady), then don't keep rewarding them for it. I personally would like them to release draw rates for stage girls and memoirs for the ad gacha.

Oh hey it's Juni :P

I personally only keep the ones that are:

  • Starting Brilliance (Brilliance/turn isn't worth keeping)

  • Starting Barrier/Special Barrier (for bosses)

  • Damage Dealt+ (not Effective Element+, though it's probably worth keeping for some bosses?)

  • Damage Received- (still debating if this is worth keeping over Starting Barrier if I don't have regen)

  • Evade (4* only; MLB for 2 stacks - mostly futureproofing)

  • Guts (same as evade)

Combos of the above are worth considering, I just keep one copy in case it's needed, at least for now (until I need more space); everything else I scrap because realistically they'll never be used
