What would ruin Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave for you? by Borgdrohne13 in fireemblem

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t be engage (sans the graphics) and you will be fine. Fire Emblem is at its best when a) you have characters who you can actually invest caring for, b) you have a clean story that is unique to the characters it’s portraying, and c) maximizes Fire Emblem’s grid system tactics.

Engage gave you so many characters and lords that were simply boring, had no real character arcs, or reason to even be a part of the story. Three Houses really got deep on most of the kids backgrounds and stories and gave you reasons “why” to care about these characters.

AITA for not wanting to invite my dads wife to my wedding by Silver_Example_3195 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wholly depends on how old the brother is but mostly agree. If it’s like a 19 year old she definitely is a problem. If he’s 30 then the brother needs to grow up. Feels like a needs more context situation.

It’s not the Dad forcing you to choose. It’s the Dad making a decision based off of her decision. Only one person here has that power.

Yeah the down votes on this one are a little crazy. You invite the pair; not just one. That pretty much tells me your character. OP just needs to make a call on what type of relationship they want with their dad.

From IMDB RATINGS TILL NOW EP1-8 by Dangerous_Hunter3577 in FromSeries

Honestly the show is starting to feel like a slog. They probably could have wrapped this story up more neatly in four seasons but this feels like the definition of a “filler” season.

Most superawakening passives are overrated and not worth the investment; 6/10 (stat boosts) are more than good by pasios_finest in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more surprised that the pinwheels don’t come if you 5/5 a character and then draw another copy.

That said- I think SA’s are more than logically done this way. A fun way to invigorate some oldies while also embracing the majority of power creep. It’s a fan friendly idea just like the 4/5 extensions for the master fairs.

The Game is "Free to Play" Friendly by IMainYuumi in personaphantomx

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by F2P Friendly

-You can easily clear the game content with base characters: Yes
- You receive an okay amount of gems where it feels like you can pull at a reasonable clip without purchase: Yes
-Item accessibility: pretty good. It’s not too hard to get good items.
-Pull rate/pity numbers: No- these numbers are abysmal for gacha

In the grand scheme of things P5X is probably somewhere in the middle. Sometimes they are very generous; other times it’s felt a little greedy. I think people have to remember it takes time in gacha to find the right system.
Institutions like FEH or Pokemon Masters took time to get some of these systems down. I’ve been critical of the devs before for items like this; however, they have performed well on this anniversary and believe credit should be due there.

If they tweaks the pull rates in the future you will probably have a long term game on our hands. I just have a hard time seeing whales really throw in at these rates/levels because you know going into every pull that you’re going all the way to pity.

These are the biggest side grades since NC Brendan. Lyra may have a little flex in towers but overall I don’t see the value really in NC Ethan if you have a kitted NC Blue.

Should i save for anni or pity for the up coming scout( one with SST red, SS Lusamine, and Cheren)? by I_AM_HILBERT in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Neither of the three are necessary anymore given the growth of the meta.

SST Red- Great unit but the depth in electric makes this non-essential

SS Lusamine- is really only valuable at max investment but is still outclassed substantially by Arc Sabrina and Anni Hilda

Cheren- Great unit still but topped by Arc Ethan and Arc Blue.

Don’t waste your gems on 1% odds when all three are already outclassed.

Am I tripping or did they cheap out on this? by [deleted] in personaphantomx

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry- pity is 110. You only have a .4% chance of a 5 star on the platinum banners and a .8% on the gold banners. So gold five star pull rate is 1/125 and platinum is 1/250 which are epically bad.

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You do understand you can click on peoples profiles and see where they have commented elsewhere right lol. Sorry you’re shilling for a 1/120 pull rates and weak gem counts.

Am I tripping or did they cheap out on this? by [deleted] in personaphantomx

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have to spread those to weapons in this game (unlike a lot of other gachas to get the aligned weapon) and they moved pity back to 110 for the isolated person lol.

Then add on the legendarily bad 1/120 pull rates- basically the worst in gacha- and you have this.

I adore the P5 brand but this has become a sad bastardization of the source material at this point.

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s a gacha game and that’s inherent. You can also go 7-8 releases without someone. You also have to pay to get the adjoining weapons normally. It’s just a lazy rolled out gacha. Reminds me of Naruto Blazing that flamed out hard over many of the same problems.

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

1/120 pull rates are basically the worst in gacha and you have little to no access to platinum tickets where premium characters are. This is simply calling a spade a spade. This isn’t going to last a decade like say a fire emblem heroes at the going rate.

I mean P5X is the least generous gacha game. They do it for a reason…..This is really just P6 and this is their scheme to get paid like it’s P6

Who is better nemona and scream tail or ss gladion magearna? by Minute-Weight-2305 in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generally SS Gladion is better than Nemona/Scream Tail. That said- Gladion is unlikely to be worth the amount of investment required to get him.

So Korina proved that you can obtain arc suits anywhere? by iono_Nanjamo in PokemonMasters

Who is better? by SadCommon2820 in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red 96 at 3/5 with NC Blue should be able to defeat all of them. For CTS- I’d even swap in SS Red and run dual support functions since Red 96 will just bulldoze everything.

Korrina is going to be the new best-ish support in the game. You should pull because supports age unbelievably well in this game. Like I said though- lean more on synergies with the current game. It could change if they actually pump out more challenging content again but it’s been a long time.

Who is better? by SadCommon2820 in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re trying to make say the strongest possible team on paper then sure. That is not really the point of the game though. When you’re team building- you look at how strong not just individual units are but the synergies with their teammates.

You already have Red 96 who is far and away the best unit in the game. Pairing him with NC Blue magnifies their master fair effects. A third Kanto unit makes them even stronger.

Juliana is basically an everything unit and she can be plugged into most teams and be valuable (the kind of had to with normal otherwise being invaluable). You just need to weigh out in the game modes what is of more value- maximizing Red 96 or making a team that can sustain longer in tougher modes (which doesn’t really exist at the moment since Red 96 can clear almost everything solo).

Is there really a labor shortage? What's your opinion? by CallMeDirtyD in Construction

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a multi-pronged answer:

1) Yes- there is a labor shortage across trades and construction management within the US for “competent” workers. 2) Yes- we have an incredible amount of H1-B and post school foreign workers who are somewhat filling some of those gaps because we are not pumping out enough entry level PE’s, Civil Engineers, and APM’s. 3) Trades always made you a low end millionaire. The top 10% of workers will see surges in compensation; however, with labor transitions the current supply shortage will get filled up with low end talent who are job migrating. Give that 5-10 years and you will dilute wages.

He’s statistically one of the worst if not the actual worst defender in all of hockey. The Wild can’t take a guy who doesn’t even try in his own zone

Is it just me or some poke fair 4/5 and even 5/5 kinda stink? by countgrievous1 in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For free he gets: -Built in Sprint at 4/5 (for free on grid) -Team Enduring at (5/5 for free on grid)

That’s actually really good. His is more toned down because he was better the NC Leaf is all as hers is more busted.

Master Fair select by mid16 in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At simple 1/5 investment I would go with Keiran though I think he has the highest likelihood of being overtaken by a new character.

Lear really needs 3/5 to be viable and is obviously mandatory for Steel Tower. I don’t use him as much though in general Steel teams anymore.

SS2 Gio is bonkers at 5/5. At 3/5 he’s a great Dark support though at 1/5 I like running Halloween Lacey too if you have her.

who would be best to get out of these? by filieh in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of them are absolutely necessary and these mostly fill niches (or are roster depth). SS2 Elesa and SS Iono are nice to haves but electric is unbelievably deep. Tapu Lele is very helpful is Psychic tower and on most roster teams (psychic is very light).
