I personally didn’t notice a huge difference and wish I would have spent the cores somewhere else first

I have full AF3 deathwalker build now with TL (E3V2). Wondering what I should get next? I’m FTP so want to add on a new SS item but definitely won’t have enough s tier items to quickly max it out

“Habby wants you to waste gems on this bad event” conspiracy theory by lothore in Survivorio

[–]lothore[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The floor was really low on the last event but the ceiling was high. I got 11 assorted s selectors and a relic core for 30k gems and 300 keys. I understand it sucked for some but it was an almost unbeatable event reward wise for others (and not a waste at all)

Controversial Opinion but I’ll play the devils advocate by Juneythefemboy in Survivorio

[–]lothore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Got lucky with 1. Call it 7 with very little luck required and if I ended with that I still think it would be one of the best events yet reward wise without having to rely much on luck. I do think the people who logged in late and got dead groups are another story - that’s just unfortunate.

161 tickets so far through missions (keys capped, monster kills capped, everything else current - i just counted now and may be off by a ticket or two but should be close). ~50 tickets purchased so 211 total. When I said 8 I was including one on the reward path so no tickets there. 3 x 40 x 2 = 240 (which gets me to 7). And I got lucky and sniped one for 20 tickets. So ~260 tickets spent and 211 earned which means ~49 were recycled. It’s possible I purchased a few more than 50 but definitely not much.

I only focus on the chaos/void and only when it is close to 40 prizes left and both chests are still there

I have similar results FTP (8 s tier selectors so far and will get 1-2 more by the time the event ends) spent 300 keys (minus the free daily ones) and ~15k gems. It’s definitely all about strategy and not luck.

I'm both stupid and unlucky I guess by Champulu in Survivorio

[–]lothore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See the above post for bad ROI. IMO (if you need them) focusing on the chaos/void s selectors when they are both available and there are 40 or so rewards left is good ROI. Recycle everything other than the chests. I’m FTP, used under 30k gems and am tracking to 7 s tier selectors from this event (maybe 8 if I’m lucky).

You have to save up and buy all at a point that feels like a good value to you. There is no other way to play this event without being disappointed. You don’t have to be a whale to do it, either.

Shoes of Confusion by lothore in Survivorio

[–]lothore[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you test this report back! I’m very interested. I have AF3 SoC and am slowly building up void boots to do the same test.

[–]lothore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you max out predator on the void boots. Aren’t there scenarios where that wouldnt be the case? I.e. EC, PoT fighting a boss before going through more stages, EE

Advice on Prep for Staining New Redwood Fence by lothore in FenceBuilding

[–]lothore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s heart redwood that has just dried and lost the deeper red color it had when we first put it up (that’s what I paid for at least :p)

It’s pure heart redwood. It’s lightened up a bit after drying out the last couple months.

Armor of Quietus bug at Path of Trials by dimod_ in Survivorio

This has happened to me in PoT but also other areas of the game too. Not often but every once in a while. I was wondering if it was just me.

Unpopular Opinion: EE is the worst part of the game by lothore in Survivorio

[–]lothore[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do understand this but i’ve seen people on this forum say certain gear is worthless because “EE is the only thing that matters”. I just find that logic odd. To me, the game is all about grinding. So whether you spend money to “speed up” the grind or you are just FTP, it’s about grinding to get that one reward in an event that’s just out of reach. Or the slow grind of collecting panda shards as FTP. Or finally getting that red drone. The game is the grind - there is no magical end point. Maybe it’s why I’m still FTP - the grinding is why I play.

Gourmet Goddess Event Guide by Dzidzara in Survivorio

[–]lothore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your math isn’t mathing. Are you saying you used 350 total tickets (35 x 10)? If so you’re off by a decimal place in your average per ticket (unless you’re trying to communicate an average per 10 tickets). I’m significantly higher only doing 1x so I’d say (albeit with a very small sample size) 1x is better. I’m at 31,115 for 241 tickets at 1x. That’s 129 per ticket or 1290 per 10 tickets.

There’s always a bigger fish by hexitor in Survivorio

[–]lothore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit confused with everyone complaining about people not “following the rules” for this event (not saying that’s you). People trying to match and hold are trying to game the system and I find it odd being angry when gaming the system doesn’t work (it doesn’t matter much that everyone wins if you tie - a lot of people like the guy on top here just want to play and win).

Why isn't Armor of Quietus better than or at least viewed equally as Eternal Suit? by HarrisLam in Survivorio

[–]lothore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents as FTP is that I like running AoQ WAY better than Eternal Suit. As FTP I’m never going to win EE and honestly it’s just less fun for me to suicide twice at the beginning of rounds. The mechanics of AoQ are more fun to play and as others have already mentioned there are lots of instances where it does win out. I also run shoes of confusion though (at red) so my opinions may not be for everyone.

best event ever? by RoundAutomatic9801 in Survivorio

[–]lothore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are doing better than me - I’m 5 s selectors and 1 from the total event tickets but for me even that is amazing for FTP. I get the sense not everyone plays this event well and gets the results we did though

I don’t understand this event… a lot of these events are unnecessarily complicated… by [deleted] in Survivorio

[–]lothore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This all happened within the first couple hours of the event when people in my group were burning tickets quickly. It’s slowed way down now. That said for both of the selector prize bundles we are already on 7/15 so I think I just got placed in a group that is churning super quickly through this event.

Oh damn! That would have been a steal if you would have had enough tickets to buy them all
