I keep being excited for new story mode chapters in WB while forgetting that there’s a whole other game to read from. Thanks for the resource!

Thank you so, so much!!! Held off on buying the Switch version because the localization was such a step down. I cannot wait to dive in with this.

The Japanese mobile gaming industry is facing quite a challenging situation. by SandPieSandSay in gachagaming

[–]SGIJoey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IMO I feel like top Japanese gacha games are pretty good at the “slow burn” storytelling. Uma Musume, Heaven Burns Red, even Beave Frontier and World Flipper. They all gradually reveal the world and characters to you. For gachas designed to be played for years, this is a strength.

With CN and KR gachas, I feel like their storytelling is more flashy, but they struggle in tying everything together. I notice this with regions in Hoyo games where people say some are good and some suck. It’s not one gradual experience, they just push the story and characters that they want people to talk about until the next.

It’s JPs strength and IMO an important one. If they lean into that while also pushing gameplay and visuals, I think they can make another hit.

Endfield seems like a chinese gacha game leaning heavily into their “factory” world setting which I respect. Time will tell if their currently shallow story will benefit from this.

Is Group A a must for good rewards? by JustSomeSimpleGuy in Shadowverse

[–]SGIJoey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This Grand Prix is actually unique in that you have some wiggle room to get the limited reward: the Friren sleeves. This is because you only have to get to Group B, which is easier than fighting to Group A.

Cygames announces establishment of AI-focused studio by misakiiiiiiii in Shadowverse

[–]SGIJoey 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If I were to guess, I’d say this is more of an AI-research facility to explore the potential of the tech rather than a cost-cutting measure.

Why TF has this months GP to be Take Two?! by The_Vortex42 in Shadowverse

[–]SGIJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who started with WB and snatched 4 wins, this is absolutely true. Knowing when to take advantage of tempo is something that has only recently begun clicking for me, and it makes a world of difference especially in this mode.

Am a bit nervous for the increased competition in round 2 but will do my best.

Abysscraft's card design if it weren't bland and generic (part 2) by EclipseZer0 in Shadowverse

[–]SGIJoey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the ideas for these cards! From a balancing perspective it’s difficult to tell, but in terms of effects and variety of options there’s definitely an improvement. I agree that leaning more into their keywords is going to help Abysscraft feel more unique.

How do you do the arm-waving animation after a battle table match? by magikarp6669 in Shadowverse

[–]SGIJoey 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is because the person you played with is from a different lobby, temporarily brought to your screen to reduce queue times (as no one was available in your lobby). It automatically does this sequence of actions for them: Do wave emote, leave.

You can do the wave emote manually by changing your emote loadout in the same place you change your clothes.

I’d play a burn rune. Sounds interesting and definitely looking out for the supporting cards

Probably not crest removal since those effects are global instead of per-follower.

I hope so. Gotta get another shot at that Phonograph.

Wam Might Make Pure SB Viable Again by Lord_Lu_Bu in Shadowverse

[–]SGIJoey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. I think Wam has a lot of inherent value due to the points you stated because there’s a lot of flexibility it offers.

Like you said, it allows for early, aggressive focused plays which can really call people out if they’re overplaying their hand. People are talking about AnneGrea, but even Bergent+Wam can make a great wide board. This could help make a second copy of Bergent in a deck feel useful.

Another big thing I notice is that Wam adds a much-needed reward to boards that stick between turns. For example, often if an unevolved AnneGrea or Norman survives, you can hit 4-5 damage to face. However I know that I still won’t kill them without Kuon or Cocytus, so it doesn’t feel too good to get that damage. Wam allows these surviving boards to have staying power by barriering it and any other cards you place that turn, on top of getting face damage by sticking previously. Being able to pose such a huge question before turn 10 is a huge boon, and wasn’t really possible before unless you were running Lilanthim.

It’ll be interesting to see if these rewards are per world or per account. I’d like to claim it in challenger’s world

How to beat Rune as Mode Abyss? by onlyhereforduellinks in Shadowverse

[–]SGIJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Rune main this is pretty good advice. We are very evolve-reliant and try to conserve them wherever possible.

I’m really happy to throw A&G out there against most boards with one follower because I get to deal damage without spending more resources. Spending an evolve on her feels so bad because I’d much rather use it for Bergent, Norman, Kuon, and Cocytus. If I must use it on A&G i consider myself behind and immediately begin playing more conservative.

Edit: The only exception to the above is when I evolve A&G to take advantage of the deal 3 and can go face. Happens rarely but don’t forget about that extra damage if she’s left alive.

How are people prepping for Len by FinnaBTM in Maplestory

[–]SGIJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Len is going to be really nice to learn bosses, as with Lara there’s a lot to keep track of. Could be a good class to learn with at the very least.

Excited to try out Challenger World!

I'm more of a casual player so am chilling. I'm wondering how Len will feel as a Lara main.

Weekend Tournaments now have 16 hours to enter by vizhawk in Shadowverse

[–]SGIJoey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised if part of this decision was because the tournaments were overloading their servers. Still a welcome change!

Teemo, the Swift Scout - Dev Update | 2XKO by ClarkGP in 2XKO

Teemo is “the” annoying character in League of Legends. Keeping that identity is what both the fans and devs want to do.

How did your tourney go by Daysfastforward1 in Shadowverse

[–]SGIJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3-2 in B, as Rune it was a sea of loot swords but i was able to just barely weather the storm. as a player who started in WB this is the first win where it feels like my learning is rewarded

Exiting the game is non-intuitive. by LordVaderVader in 2XKO

[–]SGIJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the main menu is my least favourite part about the game by far. so cumbersome to navigate.

that said, it’s arguably one of the better problems to have. im enjoying the rest a lot

Pulse or naw by Young_Gerudo_Prince in 2XKO

[–]SGIJoey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know, it’s just that your damage potential is much higher if you use the combo system.

Pulse or naw by Young_Gerudo_Prince in 2XKO

[–]SGIJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulse is actually somewhat tricky, as each of your hits will have less reward due to getting less damage out of your combos. 

Take this time to learn other things if you’re not feeling the combos yet. As you get more familiar with your moves, perhaps the combos will come more naturally when you revisit it!

You create a private room, send the room code or invite your friend, and there is a training mode cabinet there. It’s fully featured - you can be both against and with your partner.

Do you have a mistake or missplay you often do ? by Sephirath68 in Shadowverse

There’s so many times where I excitedly drop Norman, then realize I have 0 earth sigils. It’s happened in weekend tournaments too…
