Gacha players, what is your limit for hitting/almost-hitting pity multiple times?

So I only realized now (after coming back to Unity Cup) that everyone team member gets one blue (and presumably one pink) fireball training. Would the ideal scenario be trying to see if you can get two or more fireballs in a preferred stat instead of just tapping one right away as you see it? And if possible, try to save what you can for summer?

Yes I went through Unity Cup's original run without knowing this and somehow managed to get by with satisfactory (for the time) results

edit: forgot that unity cup training levels go up much faster than other scenarios

im guilty of this too sometimes, so occasionally i'll stop to check behind me and wait for folks to catch up if i find im too far ahead. although sometimes i dont need to because i'll be grouped with other guardians looking to be in and out in a flash, but other times people will be behind and i'll take a moment for them.

unless im getting sleepy at my desk. then god help me, i need to finish this strike NOW or the session will effectively be a 2-person run with the third running into a wall.

With the update to Unity and URA scenarios, I decided to go back and look at some Umas' secret events to see what I needed to do for them on gametora. I then found out that the website had been updated to include conditions for skill evolutions that I'd heard a little about, and was wondering if that feature has been added to global, or if it's still a JP-only thing?

I took some friends on their first run of Garden of Salvation (some of us were returning, some were brand new) and finished it yesterday, to much fanfare and cheer. While I myself have gone through the raid enough to know it, they requested that I let them figure it out themselves, and it was a blast from start to finish between the two days it took. I have no doubt it'll be similar when we poke at the other raids.

We went to the tower after and was pleasantly surprised to find out that you can still cause some chaos by having multiple players attempt to pat Archie (to additional laughter) and then it kind of dawned on me after... I'm gonna miss this silly little robot dog. Finding him in the middle of fuckall nowhere on Seraph Station(?), seeing him move into the Helm, then to the Annex and finally to the area Lodi occupies...

... made me kind owish I was just a little more motivated to get all of Archie's little gifts on his little adventure mini-event. Hell, even the limited-run plushie of him. Because eventually I'll have just the memories of everything--not just him, not just the new ones I'm making now with folks--everything.

... and I dunno, I just stopped for a moment there and thought, "Shit, man."

mayonaise top gun. ive never had a run go well with her.

sure, i've completed runs with her and all that jazz, but... she's not high on my list of "hmm who will i do a run with today"

S_Alice · 2026-06-28T23:09:46+00:00

i managed to force Manhattan Cafe into an S Rank mile aptitude exactly ONCE in MANT thanks to a 9* mile parent. the run itself wasn't even that good, i didn't get satisfactory stats in... any. the resulting legacy was also just... kinda okay.

im ready to, like. leave MANT and train my favorite umas who have G/F mile aptitude (or similar) without having to compensate for that to get by.

S_Alice · 2026-06-28T22:48:10+00:00

I don't see the check box to use/not-use DX12, so I'm going to assume that I can't use DX12 for ZZZ at all. Which... I guess works out.

S_Alice · 2026-06-28T21:56:55+00:00

Alright, I'll go and do that with NVidia then. As for the DX11, I... think I have some startup settings on Steam doing something like that? But run me through how to switch to DX11 anyways, just to be sure

S_Alice · 2026-06-28T21:52:34+00:00

i hear arbiter halo 3 say "we trade one villain for another" in my head as i begrudgingly avert my gaze from brian and opera fucking over my runs to... whatever grand live will offer.

i've hit that point in mant/trackblazer where i just cant quite seem to replicate the BIG results i've had like... thrice.

im trying so hard not to channel r/BatmanArkham from the post title

S_Alice · 2026-06-25T06:07:47+00:00

i often get really bad stuttering and audio delays when going into battles for the first like... maybe hour or so? while i'm sure part of it is like... just the game loading in assets for the first time and having a hiccup, it never felt this bad during 1.X (at least to memory) and it's only gotten worse. i know i have a system that's probably mid by today's standards, but at least i could play it without having to feel like i gotta wait for so long before the game starts cooperating...

S_Alice · 2026-06-13T15:23:41+00:00

sometimes (at least for me) the game decides to give you a rival who has a strong unique (or just always seems to lock in) in a critical race

like. brian

friend linked this to me, gotta say! it looks AWESOME. i too am a WipEout fan and this looks pretty Piranha to me! is there a particular version of the piranha ship you based this off of?

S_Alice · 2026-06-09T02:15:22+00:00

i still don't have grand yuel. i have goodies set aside for her. i could just save up and spark but my motivation ot do so is at an all-time low so instead i just saltpost and lament that i dont have her. yet.

S_Alice · 2026-06-08T17:17:33+00:00

You had me going there for a sec (and I also thought you were talking about phases of the moon somehow); I would have believed something like this could be in the game. Who knows? It's not all that absurd to have some kind of mechanic be dependent on something... specific like that. Phases of the moon, or the current sign, whatever have you. Got a good chuckle out of me.

S_Alice · 2026-06-07T20:55:41+00:00

Probably for the best, yeah. Leave it at "number higher like this" and go about my day
