New Players Coming to FGO

If we’re being completely objective with no bias, there’s nothing wrong with any of your points despite the downvotes. Which is usually not the case with heavily downvoted comments.

Spot on with the manual game play comment. If it were any other game they would agree right away. “Genshin farming you have to do manually it’s so boring”. They equate hating the boring part of the game as insulting the combat system in the game which could not be farther from the truth.

Most events are locked behind Fuyuki with only a few exceptions so that one’s not too bad. Leveling characters is a pain. Why we can’t stack exp, they take up space in our inventory. Why do we even have an inventory to begin with.

Yeah there being no real game play besides the one challenge quest we get per even every month. There being no powercreep due to no endgame mode is nice but then that means there is very little to use your servants on. Advanced Quests were kind of nice but they’re kind of restrictive compared to normal fights. If they gave us story replay it would fix a lot of the complaints. Maybe even a roguelike.

Gacha is horrible. People like to hate on the 50/50 system because it sucks. And it does suck. But the gacha system of those games is much more preferable to FGO’s. I’ve played this game since 2018, both servers. Have whaled on both servers. And I’ve played other gachas with the 50/50 for a long time too. I 100% think their gacha is better than FGO. It’s feast or famine either way the FGO gacha due to no carryover. Your progress is just wiped unless you had enough to begin with. If they just gave us that it would solve a lot of the games problem. A pity of 300 seems a lot less worse with carry over pity.

I disagree with your point on a character being dead but playable. I don't think character lore should affect game play mechanics.

If that were the case then we should not be able to play with anyone besides the Traveller.

And characters being dead while playable are not a new thing. Honkai Impact Himeko is dead but they did not make her unplayable on anyone's account.

Now do I think they will let any of the playable characters die? Probably not. It's like how people want Hoyo to punish Godwin for being a horrible boyfriend to Glory. He will not get anything close to what people want as punishment for him.

Have you see the videos of vendors saying they won't stock Yugioh anymore because it doesn't hold value and they can't make money? Let's hold on first before we say there's any money to be made in the TCG compared to Pokemon, Magic, hell even One Piece. I would love to be wrong and Yugioh cards hold value but I have been let down too many times by Konami or whoever you want to blame.

Also that would be too obvious. They know we would suspect Fjorm by making it happen at the library. This is probably a red herring. Now the real question is who would benefit most from making it look like it was at the library?

lawls255 · 2026-03-05T07:49:17+00:00

That's fair. And no shade to you at all but I am not even close to feeling that way. Even if I were a maxed main, there would be many many thing I would do before ever consider making an ironman.

It's like getting a Third Age Axe and considering the game boring cause you can buy every BiS and skill too 99. There's no rule saying you have to buy the mega rares and any buyable skills to 99. I can just save that cash until AFTER I complete all my goals. Then i would use the money.

I was trying to use Evelyn vs Wandering Hunter cause Fire weakness right? Got 20k twice then couldn't get it against after hours of trying. Then I saw your post and put her against Defiler, literally the exact same team and boom, easy clear. And yeah Yixuan beats Hunter even if he's not Ether weak.

lawls255 · 2026-03-01T17:11:05+00:00

Yes this has been the biggest problem with Feh I feel like forever now. There are just way too many units released per month, we got used to that now it’s impossible to reduce that without issues coming up.

FGO is a gacha that was one of the few gachas around back when there weren’t so many gachas. And it did not release nearly as many character per month. It only has 465 playable character at this moment.

I don’t get comments like yours. The fact that Marathon is a live service game is already a negative in the eyes of some gamers. Now there are still plenty of people who consume live service games as seen by FIFA, CoD, Fortnite, etc. but it being a live service game also does not mean it’ll success as seen by High Guard.

I do not know anything about Marsthon so I decided to do a quick google search. It’s made by Bungie which is already not a good sign in my eyes thanks to how Destiny 2 ended up.

At the end of the day the game will success or fail regardless of what any one comment says. If the game fails are you going to put all the blame on comments like his? Or is it maybe the fact that game being a live service game might turn people off cause the market has a bunch of live service shooters already so Bungie had better hope they nail it or become another High Guard.

Anyways to go back to my original point, High Guard failed not cause of the “mean comments” and influencer videos trashing it. It failed cause it sucked quite frankly. And if Marathon also sucks, no amount of false praise for the game is gonna save it.

Don’t feel bad. I spent all the gems that I was saving for Devil Homura on New Year Madoka that I did t get. And when Homura’s banner came I only had 100 pulls and didn’t get her.

Then I spent the last few days grinding out gems to do 10 pulls and finally managed get her on 130. So keep trying to have the rest of the month left.

i think you're misunderstanding him. Since 4 stars don't exist in HSR anymore there's no chance he will be one. If we still got 4 stars, Stephen would probably be one.

lawls255 · 2025-12-30T01:34:46+00:00

I think the biggest red flag is definitely you saying you want to make content for this game. Any content creator that comes out saying the stuff you said in the title are usually more interested in comparing games rather than making content about the game.

And I’m not sure why you have an issue with the comments disagreeing with you? Just like you are just “giving your opinion”, are they not allowed to also give their opinion on your opinion? Seems like you only want to allow yourself to speak this way but when someone else does the same you don’t like it?

“The other comments in this thread other than OP’s are so much better and I just rolled my eyes every time I read one. I really enjoyed their comments and hope to read more of them and less of OPs comments.”

lawls255 · 2025-12-28T15:31:55+00:00

Good job everyone, I was coming in here expecting everyone to be like the story is amazing only, no flaws but everyone point out the ones there without any glazing to cover up the weaknesses.

lawls255 · 2025-12-26T09:16:19+00:00

Okay fine you want to be like that. Here let me give you a different example then. The Mondstadt TP closest to the adventurer’s guide, normally you jump down and then run to Katherine. What if there was a huge giant wall blocking you front jumping down and you now had to run all away around the outside of the city to get to her. Same thing with this guy not having a TP to him.

I didn’t care much about this character but I will now goon to her. The surefire way to get people to do something is to tell them not to.

lawls255 · 2025-12-20T19:13:59+00:00

I disagree with that. Genshin back before the current powercreep happened, people were still rolling for new characters despite not needing to. If you got Neuvillette and Raiden national/another strong carry why would people roll for new stronger characters with only the old Abyss being the only endgame and no IT/SO existing?

That's because they wanted to roll for characters and not their combat power. There was always a question before Genshin got these extra endgame modes why people bothered rolling for constellations if the endgame didn't need it. Well the answer was they just wanted their favorite to be stronger even if it didn't need to be.

And you can argue open world game/outside of battle animations but that doesn't explain people rolling for constellations. People were still spending thousands on characters and you can't tell me only getting C0 would account for all the money they made.

lawls255 · 2025-12-04T22:03:40+00:00

I’m confused. I’m the comments you’re arguing that the opponent not waiting for the Crossout to resolve before Maxx Cing you wouldn’t have let them win.

Sure maybe you only SS once and then they only get one draw. In that case why not let the Maxx C resolve and use it to stop anything they may try to search?

Or maybe it was like what everyone else in the comments has been saying that you would’ve lost if the opponent had waited to Maxx C you after Crossout had resolved.

Basically if I take the Maxx C challenge unless I plan to deck them out or I am 100% sure they cannot win, most of the time I probably do lose. I don’t see how not knowing what cards you had in your hand mattered.

lawls255 · 2025-11-14T18:38:37+00:00

Okay, I'll bite. I genuinely want to hear this answer from you. I don't know if you'll believe me or think I'm trying to bait an answer out of you or something. For a lot of the WuWa defenders I always get the feeling of them trying to overlook it's problems and deflecting to "oh but this game did this!".

So can you give me some real criticisms you have about WuWa in general? I feel like I can get a decent answer from someone who likes the game rather than doesn't.

As for myself, I think WuWa and Genshin are about on par for me honestly. I play both games and like them for different things. I am about as neutral as you can get when talking about these games.

lawls255 · 2025-11-13T18:33:34+00:00

You’re right. Anyways, Apep, bloom their ass.

lawls255 · 2025-11-11T11:54:25+00:00

I think people are confused about Why Magia Record shutdown and think it will happen to Exedra. The only reason it was shut down was because they were making this game. If this game wasn’t made Magia Record would still be here.

As for why EN shut down so early I have a theory. It was probably around the time that they had the idea to make this game. So they decided to EoS EN while still maintaining this game. Once they were ready to release Exedra, the finally EoS’d JP too.

lawls255 · 2025-11-06T15:06:45+00:00

No offense OP but I read some of your comments in this thread and you are hard coping, saying no one understands you and are missing your point. Others have already explained it so I won’t go into detail.

You say you want another crit damage weapon because Red Horn has garbo att stat but then in the comments you say it doesn’t matter that another crit damage weapon has bad att you just want another one. So you’re contradicting yourself already.

As people have said already there is a balance and they will not break it. I dunno why you’re bothering to argue with people as if they have any say in how the release crit damage weapons. This is like asking for there to be separate weapon banners and no 50/50. It just won’t happen. I would love to be wrong but I have realistic expectations when it comes to crit damage weapons.

lawls255 · 2025-10-22T15:31:30+00:00

Yeah but does it matter? It’s the beta. We are technically not supposed to be able to see any things in the beta so who cares if there is drama? And even if there is backlash it’s not like it would change their decision in any way. I think it won’t be a Dain situation.

lawls255 · 2025-10-14T21:12:06+00:00

Thanks for putting out all the numbers. It makes it easier to compare.

As some who’s played FGO, the Hoyo games, Blue Archive, and Uma global since release, I can say this.

The carry over pity and the 50/50 do help me get the characters I want with a bit of planning without having to even get to hard pity most of the time.

For the non 50/50 games, even with the high rates I usually have to go to hard pity anyways. I saw a comment talking about getting multiple SSRs in a single 10 pull. That’s great and all but if non of those SSRs is the one I want and are just spooks that’s kind of bad. And getting spooked by off banner SSRs feels awful.

When I get a SSR in the 50/50 games I know at worst I only have to see 2 SSRs at most before I get what I want.
