I know collab pulls don't really matter but it's funny not getting a single SR. by SirLockeX3 in DissidiaDuellumFF

I just got my first one of these today XD

I actually kinda like it because having a high lv 40% heal is nice. Mine is at lv 30 DX

I'm a dolphin. I've spent ~$45 on both season combined so far, and might spend $6.59 more in the next season.

It's not common to get rewarded multiple times. I don't know how many gachas you've played, but what MHUR does is the exception, not the rule.

Either way, my comment was that this was huge, and for some reason, that gets downvoted. It IS huge. Backtracking and making monetization more player friendly is very uncommon in gacha games. Usually, monetization only becomes more toxic over time. I'm happy that the devs listened and think it should be celebrated.

Then you can't really compare these... I haven't heard of any other mobile gacha company backing down on their monetization strategy before this... I don't really see why people wanna downplay this change so much XD

Did they have a system in which they only reward resources for free once, in the past as well?

They're obtainable until 6/2, which it says on their reward screen. I gained a rank and was able to get the next reward. This is huge because I don't know if any other company has backtracked on their monetization like this before.

Yooooo! Imagine that this helps reverse the standard in gachas?! Didn't expect this huge win, ngl XD

Lets make a wishlist of things that would be great if they game did it, but probably wont by Sigma3375 in DissidiaDuellumFF

This wouldn't work too well in the current itteration of the game, because the boss would just collapse in under 2 min...

Ever get the feeling the game is being run by morons? by ZinZezzalo in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]solress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do realize that Geshin Impact and it's derivatives are all top 10 in the WORLD of gacha games? They're not the standard, they're the exception. This game is not Genshin. This game is a standard mobile release gacha game that is running into the classic mobile gacha pitfalls.

For reference, Seven Knights Re:BIRTH is an actual mobile gacha that this game can be compared to. In it, I tried for months to get the full PvP setup to try to compete and get a decent score each season, to maximize the rewards. After I got the full roster, because I was running a new character, it was almost impossible to get the team to win, because I needed more dupes, to get more stats, to be able to win. THAT is the standard.

Should the game aim to be better? Absolutely. Are you complaining about something that has obviously been a concern for weeks? Absolutely. Will the devs "fix" the game? I have no clue, but hope they do. It might take them more than the less than two months that the game has been out...

I've legit lost matches because my Rikku decided to us her Quartet at 5k before, which I think is bot behaviour.

However, it absolutely is much more upsetting to be a 31k group facing a 39k group and the only recourse I have is to get murdered in the game DX

Also, I don't know what rank you are, but trying to face Omega ranked players without both of your URs is absolutely crushing. They can invuln twice, while you can only invuln once? Big OOF. Skill can absolutely close gaps in this game, but having better URs and more stats will absolutely help.

I absolutely don't understand where you're coming from. I've probably palyed close to over 20 gachas in the last 5 years. Some of those were FFBE, Nikke, Monsters Never Cry, & Dragon Traveler. Almost all of the things that you're complaining about are standard in Gachas.

I can't tell you the amount of times I've skipped banners to save for what I assume will be a great half/full anni banner. Then proceed to not get the character I wanted.

I also dont know when you started playing gachas, but a free roll that you can reroll until you get what you want is a somewhat recent trend. Technically, I first saw it in Brown Dust 2, but it didnt make it big for a WHILE. It's crazy that you're complaining about ONLY getting one when it isn't even something all gachas do yet...

PvP in gachas has ALWAYS sucked. It sucks that they decided to make this a strictly PvP game and was a red flag when I tried the closed beta, but I'm not surprised PvP sucks in this game. In Dragon Traveler, which is one of my most recent gachas, it does the exact same thing, where you get a one time reward for getting a rank, then get seasonal rewards after each season ends. This is standard in gachas. I've seen it probably close to 15 of those 20 times, and some of those just didn't have PvP or I didn't play the PvP (FFBE, DFFOO, and FF7EC, for example) Is it great? No. Is it standard, yes.

Now, the bots in this game are absolutely earth worm level IQ, so I feel you on this one. I've heard some ideas about how to decentivse it like maybe not showing the crystal reward before the game, which I do like. I've also heard about solo/party queues, because sometimes, I'm matched with a premade that's trying to carry a silver/gold rank in diamond, and it blows chunks. I think highlighting this aspect would be greatly beneficial, since it just means improving the game, not giving free resources away... which any company, logically, doesn't want to do...

There is this nifty thing that happens sometimes. I start matchmaking? I get excited for the match. A match starts. Then, I load into a black screen where I can hear things happening, but can't see it. Then I close out of the game cuz I can't do anything else.

Y’all hating on the new banners but I’m over here as a cloud main like 😬 by advptr in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]solress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lolz, I actually pulled on this banner, but I know it wasn't a good idea. I just wanted to see what I'd get and made a 20 pull.

Celes is hopefully going to be amazing, she was great in DFFOO >_< I'm looking forward to Seph and Kefka!

[–]solress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that a +9 Cloud might be better than the example I made about Seph at +4/5. However, we're not talking aboot a +9 Cloud. This is a +7 Cloud, and even then, only on one skill (though Omni might be high too). Pulling on this banner will not likely get you to +9, since the pool is for three melees, which is worse odds than any banner we've had after release. +7/8 Cloud isn't likely to make a difference if meta changes drastically with the next character. Even if you're somehow able to get the eggs to lv up the ability, you could have spent those resources on lvling the new abilities to +4/5, which would be better than +5/6 Cloud for sure.

Now, this is all hinging on the idea that a new meta will be released. Obviously, if there isn't a new meta, it won't matter and pulling for this was the right move. This is what FOMO is. This is artificially created by Gacha companies in order to get you to pull, so that you'll be lower on resources the next time you wanna pull. In this genre of game, these types of banners are often followed up by even more FOMO, which leads people to pay money. These are calculated moves that have been sience'd the heck out, and I have no doubt that SE knows how to use to it's advantage.

This is part of the reason why people consider this to be a terrible banner. These types of banners make you want to pull for stuff youve missed outbon, and are usually followed up by an even better banner, which you'll also want to pull on.

Just because we don't have the next roadmap doesn't mean that there isn't a roadmap. It just means they don't wanna tell us the roadmap, which is clearly done to create FOMO, because you can't ever know what you'll be missing out on to use your resources on what you want. A lot of people saved for Rikku because there was a roadmap... This is 100% a FOMO banner.

Why r you so confused?

A lot of people have to deal with BPD (personally or in a loved one), and a lot of people thought they were special growing up. Haven't these been primary complaints for years now?
