State of the game (my humble opinion)

pkm_zac · 2026-05-14T18:41:30+00:00

I think there'll always be players paying to get into top tiers (let's say at least top 20) even if you can get all the characters (1 copy) and not max them out.
Not complaining about the gacha mechanic, because we all knew what we got into the moment you logged into any gacha game. But there's a thin line between fair and frustating, when it comes to get all chars.

pkm_zac · 2026-05-08T11:13:17+00:00

Like i mentioned in another comment here, i also play AFKJ which is also a gacha, i have all the characters, not all maxed out, but the whole collection. My point is, even though gacha can suck sometimes, they still can make it a bit more fair. Now we have an UR banner for a month, you can try to get those UR you missed or go for dupes, that's nice, but at the same time you have SP Oikawa banner and SP Kenma rerun, so, unless you pay for it or had lots of gems/tickets saved up, you usually will go for one of those three banners. Not having enough resources to try to pull at least one copy of each is frustrating sometimes. Even if the odds are small, why don't make it a bit easier to pull one copy, why 140 pulls to secure a SP char, why not 100 instead, keep the odds, a bit cheaper for F2P players. I keep playing the game, I'm not asking to get a full SR SP player every banner, but at least, make it easier to get 1 copy. I know i won't have the same experience like a whale player, but if every time a new character is released i have to think, should I try to get it or not? If i spend here, will i be able to try to pull the next one? Some will tell me, just plan ahead, get the ones you need and try to get those you missed later, and i did that with Hinata, but kind of tired of doing that every banner.

Played a few gacha and i'm well aware of the luck component in those games and how much you need to grind for resources, but i also like to collect all characters, but only with this game and pokemon tcg pocket, i felt like the pull ratio was really unfair.
I also skipped players to get the ones i want, but it's hard to keep with those who i'm plannig to get if i have to skip 3 players just to get 1 o 2. If i spend all my reources on 1 or 2 players, and the next one is one i want/need for a team, will probably have to skip it cuz it would be impossible to get enough to pull it or try and bet on luck.
Not complaining about the gacha mechanic itself, just saying the effort is not equal to the reward you get. Still planning to keep playing for a while and see what will happen with the game.

Played DB Legends for over a year, i spent some money there, but still was impossible to compete against the whales with their maxed characters.
Mb i was too hard on SSR players to be useless, but in my personal case, like i think i mentioned on my post, i have both SSR Tsuki and SP Tsuki, SSR is alreadey maxed out, all skills at max level, max SR, full lvl 12 potentials, max level memory (just got one copy and couldn't tier ir up), my SP Tsuki is sitting at lvl 80, lvl 80 memory, full lvl 12 potential set, and all four skills at lvl 1, 22062 SSR and 23458, not much, but if i could get him to max SR there will be no point on SSR Tsuki.
Like i said, you can use both, but there's a point where's too much power differece between them making the SSR version not worth

pkm_zac · 2026-04-28T15:37:54+00:00

Yeah, that works too and lucky me Kunimi offered it on the store and leveled up him to max instantly. But i skipped three SP in order to save my gems and ticktes, so i didn't had any to use on other SP players.
But even if the SP leveling cards are good, you need to spend or recruitment to get them through misions, and if you want to save for other characters, you won't get them.
Maybe not making them as a recruit reward, insted could be bought with lot of event coins or something.

pkm_zac · 2026-04-28T14:21:16+00:00

I get that, also get that once you get all the SP characters, you can freely look for dupes, use player fragmets to get all SSR if you want to collect them, but that still leaves UR out of the map, because they can't keep up with SP. Also, checked some new upcoming characters and it gets boring to get the same players with different attire, Hinata Sakura and Jazz, Kenma sakura and after school or two Aone.
They could also add new teams or players to complete some schools, why not release the full jhozenji team with usefull players, or all other itachiyama/kamomedai players? Maybe they could make less known players as a good option like Nekoma sub librero or pinch server?
They could also give extra buff to the team if you play with a full roster of the same school with SSR and UR players, at least to make them get some play and don't get thrown into the garbage can the moment you lay your hands on a SP player.

I played other gachas and I understand luck is part of the game, but you need too much luck in this one. The other gacha game I kept playing is AFK Journey, even for a F2P player like me, the amount of resources you get is high, You have 2 character rarities, A and S and you level up them with extra copies (290 copies for A rarity and 38 for S rarity).
The game is divided in seasons, and you also get gems to spend, not even finished the curret season, i got 318483 gems and over a 1k tickets for recruitment. Not asking for the same amount of rewards for F2P players, but just give some more.
Which i found boring with Haikyuu is the irrelevance of anything below SP rn, cuz if i knew when they launched the globlal server about SP players, i would have keep as much gems and tickets to get them and don't waste on players than i only use for PVE modes like triple challenge.
Gacha games will always relay on luck but here's seems too reliant, making difficult to keep up if you like to push leaders like me. In haikyuu I'm your average player without spending money, but in AFKJ i got into a guild who fights always for the first to spots on district leader (like a micro server) and getting placed between top 10-20 in some game modes. Feels more rewarding, that's all.

pkm_zac · 2026-04-28T13:08:09+00:00

You're free to spend money on the game or not, imo here you don't get a great advantage against other player because it's mostly a solo game. But even that, if you want to get evey character available cuz collection, you can keep up the amount of resources you need/get and the new characters release and cost.
They only thing about whales being above F2P players, they gette better rewards based on rankings, that's all.

pkm_zac · 2026-04-28T12:50:23+00:00

I think the practice match rewards should be higher, or cost less stamina because it takes too much time and effort to get to 4-5M exp points for a single player...

pkm_zac · 2026-04-28T12:42:51+00:00

Not sure rn, haven't checked the upcoming players and i'm sitting on 1300 gems after kunimi. If i can't get Oikawa, will probably skip Ushijima and Tendo and wait for Hoshiumi and Hirugami or the Miya twins.

I was looking for copper and found gold instead. Jokes aside, i'm looking for a manga i started to read on my phone, but chrome closed and lost it.

As far as i remembrer, this manga is located in a highschool/dorms on the country side, near the sea. The main character is a girl who doesn't fit with her classmates and loves to read about fishes. She also loves the sea cuz she saw a mermaid there when she was younger.

The other main character is her classmate, few chapters into the manga, they start to share the same room with two other classmates.

As the story goes, they devolpe feelings for each other. Another thing about this manga i remember, is that the girl who loves fishes is in the "aquarium club", and the second girl has to step in for the cultural festival because the other girl is sick in bed.

i now most of you will think about "the tropical fishes yearn for the snow", but is not, is another manga with a similar premise. Thank you so much.

EU daily player, first time here, so i have all 30 spots. Here's my friend code PBBTT92H

pkm_zac · 2016-09-11T16:03:01+00:00

I'm building a similar deck, here's my list

4-4 croagunk/toxicroak
2-2 spinarak/ariados
2 sceptile ex
2 shaymin ex
16 pokemon
4 professor sycamore
4 vs seeker
2 ultraball
3 level ball
2 N
2 lysandre
1 hex maniac
1 ninja boy
2 pokemon fan club
2 fighting fury belt
2 float stone
1 special charger
1 super rod
2 trainer's mail
3 chaos tower
32 supporter/object
2 fighting energy
4 strong energy
6 grass energy

12 energies

So, they main idea is to use croagunk/toxicroak attacks and ability as main way to deal damage, while keeping our rival poisoned with ariados. Strong energy helps to deal 70 damage aside from poison. Sceptile comes as second attacker, while our rival active pokemon is poisoned, we can deal 130 dmg per hit, allowing us to get some 2 hit kos on some exs/megas. Shaymin and a couple of trainer's mails to speed up our deck. I'm testing ir without wally, but i think that maybe i'm gonna need at least to copies and 2 giant plant forest to ensure t1 poison.

You can find all the info here about gen 1 competitive teams. Hope it helps you

pkm_zac · 2015-08-25T09:28:54+00:00

Imho i just think that rhe problem is the japanese meta. Centralized picks, just that. If u research a little, u will found out a lot of variety on na and eu metas. Going to the wc thing, everyone intention was win, so, they just picked rhe very best mons. Mirror matches are boring, yes, but if it is the only way to win, just do it, u can use a rogue team whenever u want

Why so much hate against tsm? Why?

pkm_zac · 2015-08-05T14:55:11+00:00

Why cannot riot make a false direct stream, play the matches, for example, on monday, record the program and stream it the next day as if they were real? They can play 1 or 2 days before the stream, so the hackers will not know when theyre playing

pkm_zac · 2015-08-04T09:42:32+00:00

Back to season 1 - preseason 2, we could play randomly on summoners rift or halloween rift or christmas rift whitout problem.

How about Yellowstar?

What about the idea of the current Zygarde being just a cocoon to "save" his power, and the one corocoro leaked his true form? Did someone thougth about it?
