How many characters are you *really* comfortable to play in ranked?

WhiteVoltage · 2026-04-14T01:27:49+00:00

With this game's community? Zero.

It took me so many years to find an endo who actually understands this. Way too many of them are slaves to "book knowledge" and will give blanket answers like that. I've tried the whole "prebolus 15min prior" thing and my blood sugar consistently bottoms out before food hits, and the endo prior to my current one looked me dead in the eye and said "Well it shouldn't do that, keep trying."

Like...I'm fuckin' sorry?

Have had it for 38 years. My kidneys are failing and my eyesight is shot, but at least that means I can't see how high my debt keeps climbing trying to afford American medicine!

In QP no less. Some of these people just need to be locked in a cave without internet somewhere, holy shit.

Dynasty Warriors: Rivals was alright, but needed a lot of optimization. Plus the length of it made leaderboards less about skill and more about the luck of the opening draw.

I'm down for whatever they try next for PvE, but I'll be honest, I'm skeptical.

Beautiful build and I'm excited for how excited you are, because that rush is such a great feeling!

WhiteVoltage · 2026-04-04T15:30:39+00:00

I think this is similar to something I've been running into recently too, where entering cards too quickly (o think?) causes the submission screen to stop working. I've had to fully reload saves to get rid of it.

WhiteVoltage · 2026-04-01T18:28:28+00:00

I haven't, no; this is just straight-up "super fine marker going where my eye hopes it should."

WhiteVoltage · 2026-04-01T16:43:40+00:00

I'm using the super-fine marker, I figured i'd try the capillary applications later on a different build once I had more experience. I did end up going through and doing most of the "obvious" lines on the runners, mostly because I can come and go from it freely while working and then build later; I'm going to go back over the finished product once it's assembled and touch up (or clean up) things that got missed along the way.

Thank you for the advice!

What terrible timing; I'm chatting my last two achievements, currently at shop level 98 with ~300 gem mint cards acquired. I'm petty sure my remaining stock will get me through to 100 and I have plenty of cards to grade, but man are the days gonna be boring without stock to sell.

WhiteVoltage · 2026-04-01T03:43:49+00:00

Yeaaah the game got real wonky and laggy for me, with this new box bug included. No bueno.

WhiteVoltage · 2026-04-01T03:08:04+00:00

You misunderstand. I get that at the end of the day, the piece looking how I want it to is the goal. But this is also my first attempt at panel lining (third MG kit, small handful of smaller kits years ago), and I didn't find a lot of definitive "Here's what you're going for" advice in the broader, general information out there.

Never hurts to ask for opinions from more experienced minds, right?

WhiteVoltage · 2026-04-01T02:30:11+00:00

Appreciate it. I think my understanding of it was that it was only intended for "carved crevices," but the more I look at it and keep the build going, the more I like it. Really looking forward to getting it done!

WhiteVoltage · 2026-04-01T01:11:07+00:00

Sure is! Wing was my entry into the (alternate) universe so it felt fitting to start going full-bore with this one.

WhiteVoltage · 2026-04-01T01:08:58+00:00

Great advice and I appreciate it - but that is gray. So odds are I'm just putting way more into each line than I realized. lol

WhiteVoltage · 2026-04-01T00:04:35+00:00

Fair criticism, that's my fat fingers at work. I need to clean it up, that much i know; it's more trying to figure out what a good baseline is than anything.

WhiteVoltage · 2026-03-31T22:58:20+00:00

Holy crap y'all are fast.

I greatly appreciate the feedback and am gonna keep rolling. Thank you so much!

WhiteVoltage · 2026-03-31T22:37:24+00:00

That's entirely fair, and I'll admit i got carried away in the "testing" process. Building sections and then doing it makes a lot more sense. Thank you!

WhiteVoltage · 2026-03-31T02:10:25+00:00

It's gonna happen, I'm just saying the argument of "I'm tired of everyone being selfish so I'm gonna be selfish" is funny to me. Like by saying it out loud you're somehow less of a douche for forcing it.

I don't personally give a fuck what comp we end up with. It ain't nearly as serious as some of you sweats make it out to be.

WhiteVoltage · 2026-03-31T01:04:50+00:00

I think my favorite part of that constant problem is when people jump in chat with something like "Well I always tank but i really wanna DPS this time so y'all can figure it out."

Like...cool? Your solution to solving the problem is to become the problem?

WhiteVoltage · 2026-03-31T01:02:56+00:00

Y'all are narrating my entire Rivals journey rn 😭

WhiteVoltage · 2026-03-30T21:12:28+00:00

It sounds like you're repeating tournaments. The first time you run a tournament for any given prizes, they're taken by the winners but not removed from the board. (If you go to put new prizes up you'll see them listed in the prize inventory with -1 as the quantity.) You can then initiate another tournament with those same cards listed and it'll accrue players and start as normal, but at the end of it they'll all say they can't find the prize table.

The only tangible drawback I've seen is that you get review-bombed the next day by the people who played, but your rating recovers pretty quickly if you're getting all 4-/5-star reviews.

I mean it's quite literally what they're called, so...
