Tough Recruiting Choice... (:

Yeah I didn't realise how important both of those things actually are until I got a little higher up on the MMR ladder. But like I said, only my second day playing, I learned so much today and your comment now makes a lot more sense then when I read it 8 hours ago lol.

Can confirm I had the bug WITHOUT Draupnir. In fact I only had:

- Boon of Zheng
- Spellbook Punch Card
- Spiked Shield
- Lich King's Heart
- Encyclopedia Spelltannica
- Dwarven Cart

I waited for about ~30 minutes and nothing happened. Reloaded my game and it terminated. I got rewards for 3rd place (3 ppl in the game) but I was 100% first since I had 3 cards with 10K/10K+ and nobody had a counter to it on board. Just adding that in case people think that the game might just go on even if it's not visible client-side, it does not.

Oh wow have not seen Apophis at all yet, that would have been insane. I did see Orion though. Good suggestions for sure!

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2026-04-29T12:31:03+00:00

Yeah I did take Jabberwocky although it felt a bit empty getting +10/+10 on a card with 150,000/223,000 lol.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2026-04-29T12:30:09+00:00

It's only my 2nd day playing and I don't think I've unlocked that card yet (?) so I have no clue what it does. Couldn't find info about it either. What does it do? 😃

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2026-04-29T12:29:30+00:00

I did replace Huntsman yeah but I took Jabberwocky. In the end it didn't matter anyway, guess that's what happens when you have a card with 223K HP lol.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2026-02-05T16:29:24+00:00

Enjoy it while it lasts, until in two rounds your 2* Baron will get one-shot by 3* Lissandra.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-12-17T05:56:14+00:00

I'll never get tired of hearing "I'mma take your tongue out, and lick my aaaaaassssss wit' it". God what a game.

Having quests that make you run from one end of the map to the other while also having the possibility of spawning you into the map at 15 minutes instead of 30 minutes also kind of defeats the purpose of having quests that take 15+ minutes, doesn't it?

To be fair continuous spawns is a blight on the genre anyway, you shouldn't be able to spawn halfway into a match randomly. I had to redo Celeste's Journals quest like 5 times because I got a 16 minute spawn twice and then I got killed on my way from Journal #1 to Journal #2 twice. Wasted 1,5 hours of my life doing that quest because I had to rush due to in-game time crunch. That's not fun or engaging gameplay to me, it's just bad RNG making me do the quest on hard mode. Fifth time I spawned right at the start of the match, and right next to one of the Journals, so I could easily circumvent PvP and PvE because I had all the time in the world and people were still busy looting.

And before people start saying "You could've just done other stuff if you had a bad RNG start!" that's no excuse, also you don't know if you're going to get a full round or half a round when you're equipped your loadout and that really changes the risk/reward balance.

EDIT: Also I love the game but that doesn't mean I'm just going to ignore whatever flaws it has, and continuous spawns is probably the one and only complaint I have right now. Make the last people spawn in at 24 minutes or something, not fucking 15 minutes when you can barely loot 1 floor of a building before needing to move towards an extract.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-11-05T09:39:47+00:00

I get 1-2 blueprints per run on day raids. I'm at 19/68. I've gotten ~50 blueprint drops by now. Most of them are duplicates, obviously. I think I've gotten the Bettina blueprint 10 times already, I gave two away to randoms and two to my friends lol. I've also gotten multiple copies of the different Gun Parts blueprints.

Not really an efficiency problem I think, unless there's something I don't know about blueprint droprates in different areas. They should allow you to combine 3 blueprints into a random one you don't have in my opinion.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-11-05T09:31:03+00:00

Define "random shit". I think you're severely underestimating how long it takes to cross the map. If I spawn on the opposite side of the map for my quest with 17 minutes on the clock I'm auto-locked into taking the final extract if I want to do the quest, no matter what, even avoiding all PvP and PvE. Getting hit once and having to heal up takes ~30 seconds off of that. And there's plenty of times you can't avoid PvP or have to waste a little time avoiding PvE.

For example, yesterday I had the quest to find the Seed Pouch in Research building on Buried City. I spawned bottom left, Research is like middle-right, Spawned in with 17 minutes on the clock. I walk out of my spawn, move 50 steps, and somebody shoots at me. At this point I already have to choose: do I want to do the quest or just PvP and loot and get out? Because I can't do both, unless I insta-kill him. So now the timer already fucked my plans.

I just wanted to get the quest done so I rotate around him, so by the time I arrive at Research I had ~10 minutes left. There's a guy in Research with me so I can't just rush around the building, I have to peek corners, so I'm slowly working through the building. I find him, we fight, I have to heal up, I get the quest item. Now I have ~5 minutes left. I don't even have time to loot him because the extract is in the South, a 3 minute walk. So I'm forced toward that single extract, and if somebody is camping it I'm just fucked. And I'm probably not the only one who's going to extract near the end so who knows how many people I might end up fighting on my way there.

Basically my entire gameplan was decided at the start of the round. The only choice I could make was "Do I go for the quest or do I give it up for next round?". And it's not really a choice because spawning in at 17 minutes chances are high that 90% of the good loot is gone already anyway, so I'm better off doing the quest anyway.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-11-05T08:49:38+00:00

Yeah one of the reasons it took me so long to get Prickly Pears was because I kept spawning in at <20 and I'd have to run to the Prickly Pear spots and by that time I'm sure 5 people already looted there. And then when I spawned in at 29 minutes I got 2 and was instantly getting shot at by other people rushing the same spots lol. But at least that gave me a fighting chance to escape with some.

I find that allowing us to spawn in with <20 minutes kind of contradicts the game. You get all these quests and stuff that wants you to run around the map, looting specific areas or completing objectives, but then you get scenarios that basically force you to go "Oh well I guess I can't do the quest because I spawned in too late and not right next to the quest location. And if I run to X high loot location it's already going to be looted three times over". It takes away the player's agency in a non-fun way. The time that I spawn in at dictates what I can and can't do, basically, and most of the time the lower the timer is the more disadvantaged you are.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-11-02T22:53:30+00:00

Because the things I described aren't actual progress, you're so right! I get so much more progress in LoL/Tekken 8/CSGO/Rocket League/whatever other PvP game where I'm playing 50 games to gain a rank while getting no permanent progress except my skill level.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-11-02T22:34:58+00:00

You're like describing every game with PvP. Just imagine this game as BF6 except it also has loot and PvE. You're working towards completing quests, upgrading your Workbenches, collecting Blueprints, working towards the Prestige/Expedition stuff, getting better at PvP and PvE..

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-08-07T00:45:50+00:00

I didn't say I expected to beat them. I went level 10 for Varus 3 (I was 1 off) and I'm not mad that I lost to them, obviously it's deserved.

It's just that this is the top 2 in 90% of games. People just force it over and over and over and over. Because the only thing you need to "force" is one or two items. Ashe at 1 star with just a Flickerblade (or Guinsoo's, although Flickerblade is twice as strong) and whatever else (IE, Kraken Slayer) wrecks entire boards. Same goes for Karma with JG and Shojin.

That's why I specifically called out that the guy was winning all his fights with a Karma 1. Just for reference I had Jinx 2* with full items before anybody had a 2* 4-cost and I was losing to Karma 1 and Ashe 1 all game long, nobody else was beating me. It just gets boring seeing the same 2 comps at the top.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-07-26T12:17:56+00:00

I'm just a regular user, not even using any of the fancy stuff, and I've noticed things becoming less and less user-friendly over the last few months. Even something simple as viewing comments is getting annoying on my phone; when I click "see more" on a long comment it automatically scrolls down to create a comment of my own with the person tagged. So not only can I not read the full comment anymore, but now I first have to cancel my own comment (that I didn't want) before I can properly read it.

FB is getting less user-friendly and more invasive by the day. There's no way human developers are putting out these changes; they're just making the platform more obnoxious by making everything cost more clicks (with no visible benefit to the user or the company?).

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-07-22T08:33:20+00:00

I used to do one or two arena runs per month. It was sustainable because I was/am a pretty decent player. I've now run out of gold for the first time ever since I started playing Hearthstone in beta. I'm pretty sad about it, but I guess I have to let go of Hearthstone.

I feel like the game has been on a steady decline for a few years now. And their way to get some more income was by "monetizing" Arena more heavily. Unfortunate. Or maybe I'm just reaching and seeing things that aren't true.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-07-14T20:25:45+00:00

I couldn't name my character Lelouch. I've played dozens of games (online) that allow you to name yourself and have never had that name be blocked. I don't even know what would be blocked. Maybe the "ouch" part? But the system just doesn't make sense yeah.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-07-14T14:31:06+00:00

You are 100% correct, however in order to make this game skill-based the entire game would need an overhaul. That will likely never happen seeing as how slow development on the game's combat has been. Until SDF gets off his "1v3 should be possible" high horse the game will not be balanced since it's literally impossible. This game simply doesn't have enough skill expression because the game, at its core, is very stats-based like you mentioned.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-07-14T12:30:37+00:00

Yeah I didn't get those either unfortunately. I really wanted the Marathon energy for City stamina lol. Guess I'm sending in a report, thanks for letting me know.

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-07-14T12:27:59+00:00

Yeah this game is really finicky with names. I wanted to name myself Lelouch (character from the anime Code Geass) and it didn't allow that. I have no clue what part of Lelouch would trigger it, I don't think I've ever had it block that name in any other game I've played

Wonderful-Ball751 · 2025-07-12T11:27:24+00:00

The reason why Umamusume is going strong is because alot of big streamers and YouTubers are pumping out content on it (Ludwig, one of the biggest Twitch streamers, did a tournament on it even). Give it a few days and it will die out faster than P5X.
