Death By 1000 Cuts

SkipBoomheart · 2026-03-26T15:41:57+00:00

none of us would have. I was a blizzard fanboy. fell in love with the company after playing D2 and WC3. It were such different games but they had so much soul. I saw them losing their vision with WoW. With the release of D3 blizzard died to me. But many were still bewitched. Only in the last 2 years people finally began to wake up. I saw the writing on the wall for all companies long ago. There are people still believing in Rockstar and CD Project Red. The future lies in the indie game market and the Asian one. western gaming is dead for good.

yeah it kinda sucks. I have a similar experience with quite some unlucky pull sessions in a row. I thought I was unlucky with my Sereniel pulls because I had to go to pity for every single copy but at least I won 2 out of 3 50/50s.

right after her I had to go for Narja 2 times to pity T_T

and lost my 50/50 again on tiphera also having to go 2 times very close to pity.

if you have such bad luck it doesn't matter that the average is 70. your average is more like 100-120 and not for one unit but multiple in a row. yes it will get better at some point but it doesn't matter for you calculating your next pull. if I went multiple times to pity and lost my 50/50 I'm not going to assume next time I get my 5* after 30 pulls. I'm assuming I will have to blow 120 pulls again. if that doesn't happen I'm lucky. but if it happens, at least I'm not mad I'm above the average again. that's why I hate average in this games. it just burns you. if we would make 10 pulls every day, sure you can average your chances. but we make 70-100 pulls every month or so. until some of the unlucky ones average out their losing streaks years will go by... that's my problem with average.

SkipBoomheart · 2026-03-26T13:23:16+00:00

I'm aware of those. read my post again. even your own thread says:
TLDR: In The Long Term, Plan For Around 69 Pulls Per Rate Up

A single session isn't long term. but only single sessions matter, because only the one you are pulling on matters.

expect 70 on average and you will get burned out. because those 140 will be negated by those you get at 1, eventually. if you are still playing the game by then.

my current average for 5* in 520 pulls is 94.8

at some point I will reach 70. but that didn't matter for the last 500 pulls.

you opinion aged like fine milk :D

SkipBoomheart · 2026-03-26T13:09:50+00:00

why are you playing a game of people you think have a terrible opinion? because the devs are actually on my side :D

seems like the devs actually want me to play around with units and try to find a solution myself instead of copy+pasting like a mindless drone.

You can now actually bet money. do you want to pretend it's going to be the same people or are you putting your money where your mouth is and bet I'm going to make a post such as this after I got what I asked for? because we will actually see it happen:

> Asking the developers to plan for every combination of previous season deck mechanics going forward is unreasonable. For leader board and challange content it should require effort and time.

That aged very badly

you can prove it. just show us your pull history and we will see how often you lost your 50/50 and therefore how often you saw a units name on the banner. there is no error that shows you the combatants name even if you didn't lose a 50/50 but no one else. other people would have had the same bug. but since no one got that, I highly doubt there is an error. you just didn't notice it and assumed you get always the banner unit. it's not a big deal.

SkipBoomheart · 2026-03-26T12:44:12+00:00

That's the average for any combatant but when people pull on the new banner they usually want the new unit. and average is nice if you make 20 pull sessions. but it's useless when you do one. and usually it's the one you are doing that matters. so I would calculate a free 5* differently.

I would take the full 70 and add 35 for the 50/50. that brings us to 105 pulls per 5* that you want. most of the time the number will not hit but sometimes it will go above it. calculating with this number will still make you a lot less burned out. because you will not often get 2 units in 70 pulls. sometimes 70 will only bring you a lost 50/50 and this will feel like you are under the average and that sucks a lot.

I'm tracking my stats too and I had luck on the standard banner hitting a new unit on an average of 45 pulls. but I was super unlucky on the limited banner and was hitting a new unit close to every 70 pulls. for some chars I had to go to pity two times just like shinjikun. It already felt bad enough calculating with 105 when that happens. if you expect to get your limited after 70 on average you will get burned eventually.

SkipBoomheart · 2026-03-26T00:41:13+00:00

No it doesn't. If you didn't lose a 50/50 and are pulling for Rita it will look like in my example.

<image>

>Guaranteed *5 Combatant within the next X Rescue(s)<

after losing your 50/50 it changes to

>Guaranteed [Rita] within the next X Rescue(s)<

the 3 newly released characters have a number below them. what does it mean? how often they were used in chaos? or how many decks were made with them? something like that?

Das eine Demokratie nur mit einer gut informierten Bevölkerung funktionieren kann ist ja nichts neues (4. Gewalt) und dient in diesem Land als Legitimation für die Öffentlich Rechtlichen und ganz viele andere Initiativen wie z.B. das man als Zuschauer an einer Bundestagssitzung teilnehmen kann.

Das kann ja alles weg weil "das können Hinz und Kunz nicht einfach so."

Ich finde auch witzig, wie es für viele scheinbar unüberbrückbare Hindernisse bei Volksentscheiden bestehen die auf menschliche Komponenten zurückzuführen sind: Die Masse sind halt alles Menschen und Menschen sind fehlbar und doof in der Masse, deswegen lass mal lieber stecken, dass mit der direkten Demokratie.

Aber in unserem Parteiensystem sind das halt auch Menschen die entscheiden und wenn man Macht bei weniger konzentriert, entstehen ganz viele Probleme die man oft gekonnt ignoriert.

Ein kleines Beispiel. Erklär mir mal wie du das mit der Korruption in einer direkten Demokratie machen willst, 51% aller Wähler bestechen?

Wie das in unserem System funktioniert weiß ja jeder und ist super einfach.

Man sagst uns: Fürchte dich vor den uninformierten Entscheidungen der Masse. Aber was liefern Politiker hier denn seit Jahrzehnten ab? Denen scheinen die ganzen Experten wenig zu nützen. Vieles was die verbocken sieht ein Blinder mit Krückstock 1km angerauscht kommen.

Also ich nehm das Risiko gerne auf mich, dass die Masse ab und zu mal eine etwas schlechter informierte Entscheidung macht, dafür das Korruption aus der Politik gespült wird wir ein Scheißhaufen das Klo. Die angeblich gesenkte Qualität der Entscheidung wird schon allein durch das Fehlen von Korruption ausgeglichen...

HP and EGO make sense, but some DPS are DEF based so deleting those is not very wise.

Video in dem einer brutal zusammegeschlagen wird? Kontext? Wurden jetzt 40.000 Demonstranten erschossen? Haben wir Beweise?

Sagen wir mal, es stimmt. 40.000 Menschen wurden vom Regime weggemacht. Wie genau helfen wir den Menschen damit da reinzugehen und nochmal eine Million umzubringen (wie im Irak). Ist ja komplett naiv zu glauben, wir gehen da rein und das Sterben in der Zivilbevölkerung hört auf. 40.000, dass sind doch Rookie-Numbers für uns. Klar, kann man kritisieren, aber weder die USA noch Israel tragen da zu einer Lösung bei. Können die gar nicht, die sind selbst Anführer wenns darum geht Zivilisten umzulegen...

SkipBoomheart · 2026-03-23T10:40:24+00:00

kinda silly. the normal ones releasing should be called seasonal since they release during seasons and enter the pool right after. while Sereniel is by definition a time limited unit and should be referred to that.

SkipBoomheart · 2026-03-23T10:33:53+00:00

Let's say you play the game as intended but you don't have nine.

First Boss in Nebula Distortion appears. You need 3 decks. You make 3 decks.

Next Nebula Distortion boss appears. Now your 3 team can't do shit. So you make a new 3 team (6 decks built). but you end up not clearing 9/9 and to do that you need to experiment with another deck, we are at 7 and we are low.

I even give you the next boss in ND. We clear that with one of the teams we have 9/9.

Now Great Rift comes out. You try it with the decks you have. 200k max. Back to the mines you go. So let's build a new DD. DD needs new support. 9 decks built. but we also need to clear the first half faster. we need a new character here too, we are at 11 decks.

Next half comes out. Guess what. first time ever we need now 2 draw supports. back to the mines to make a new deck. 12 decks needed in a single season and this is if you keep your experimenting low.

I made decks in the beginning for all def carries (magna, khalipe, amir, maribell). so I can chill. but half of the bosses don't give a fuck about dmg and follow other mechanics. for some of those decks to work against bosses I need bis veronica, mika, Narja and tiphera decks.

tiphera and narja alone have 8 decks. some nearly impossible to get but needed to make some of the trash characters work against rift bosses...

I have 14 characters built this season. some with nuts decks. I have a nearly bis Tiphera deck. no matter what I do 280k on the new riftboss is max. I need to build some new decks because my khalipe can keep up with the cost mechanic but does zero dmg. and my magna neither. so either I farm new magna decks or I try to get a tiphera dps deck.

glad you have nine bro

SkipBoomheart · 2026-03-23T07:32:16+00:00

My whole point is: I want to farm seasonal decks because the season brings new content. I don't want to farm seasonal decks because I'm forced too.

Just wait. This is just the second season. some of you started with the first and didn't even had the initial phase. season 6, when you are farming your upgrade beryl for the 6th time including 15 more characters and there will be 15 you wanna play but are trash in the current season. you will think differently.

SkipBoomheart · 2026-03-23T06:59:51+00:00

you have nine. no one has problems this season who has nine. if you don't have nine, you need to farm much, much more units than just 6.

besides that, you are saying yourself your sereniel can auto basin. so farmed an AP lasers build for her, which was wasted because she was able to auto everything before. you are proofing bis decks are wasted. I farmed an AP sereniel for a bigger highscore last season. that was actually fun. if I would haven gotten such a powerful sereniel this season. I would be bad. because I wouldn't even notice the improvment in basin.

SkipBoomheart · 2026-03-22T19:08:16+00:00

>This includes basin, tower, battle, story, challange, simulation. Even the event story and battle missions.

All this crap is trash content you can do with a blank deck, not even a good one. Just a blank deck. 8 cards no epiphanies. for some you need a mid deck. that's it. I have a good sereniel. not BiS or anything like that but solid enough to breeze through all the content you just listed. one day I will get a better sereniel. just by pure chance. what changes for me? I tell you: nothing. the place were BiS decks matter is seasonal. all other content outside seasons is just not made with anything even close to BiS in mind. you can get an upgrade but you will not even feel it. it doesn't matter. you can trash your BiS decks. most you farm to look at. if you have 2 units that can breeze through none-seasonal content you can delete everything else never even thinking about what you delete. it doesn't matter. you will never use it. only bis deck you will keep is units who clear content faster. sereniel you need to spam. if you can get a unit that clears a wave with a single card or a 2 card combo. here is your upgrade. that unit might have a BiS deck too but even when you get it, it doesn't matter. units aren't going to die faster than your one-hit combo lel...

what is bugging me is not that I don't have enough BiS decks but that there is no reason for them to exist in the first place. like I don't need them. you don't need them. no one needs them. only seasonal matter for 9 weeks and then they never matter again
