lol we were unranked when I posted but you are right, now it says D, I think it actually did the ranking 20 minute ago right after I posted, which is also when it ended the banners and gave me clovers, I guess that must be the daily checkpoint (I think UTC 24:00?)

Ah shit you get free carats and club points on the first of the month based on your club's rank, but we are just under a week of our club being a month old to make us eligible for todays RIP

I wonder what our rank will be. We are rank 7391 - out of how many clubs? 10,000 clubs? 100,000 clubs?

I've heard Smart Falcon is really great for Dirt tracks, best dirt racer for a long time, plus we have a Super Creek week, isn't that like one of the best cards?

This is a pretty banging list tbh

Where's the Governator

Is it best to wait to accrue 1500 carats before pulling for trainees/supports or are the percentages good enough that you can get decent results from doing it individually

When you look at a banner under Scout, if you click Details at the top of the screen you can see exactly what the rates are

If you do a 10 pull, the first 9 pulls are:

3% SSR
18% SR
79% R

Then the 10th pull is:

3% SSR
97% SR

Whenever you individually pull, it always uses the 1-9 rates. So if you pull 10 times individually, you don't get the guaranteed SR. SSR rates are the same

So generally, yeah you might as well just always wait for 10 pulls to get that guaranteed SR. If you wanna do a single pull here or there it's not a big deal, but I wouldn't make a habit of it.

Mindseye just did this!

Re-launching is so hot right now

so Whats the upsides of those two club point stamina SSR cards? Is one better? McQueen I think? I have both with one uncap and just got 900 points to take one to 2

For a long time, I thought the raffle was just based on which horse you have as part of their lore lol, like Nice Nature getting the third place prize every time

Btw grats MSG for getting a three uncap Kitasan. Does that include the pity or do you still have that on the horizon?

I just pulled my second Kitasan too! and I'm only 25 pulls away from the pity one, so that seems pretty good

I'm broke af, I upgraded all my horses to potential lvl 2 since the shoe cost honestly doesn't seem like its that much but I didn't realize how much monies it was. Didn't even notice until I went to career mode and couldn't pay the fee to borrow a guest legacy.... These daily races were my ticket back to solvency, RIP

They nerfed daily races from 6 to 3? Cringe

I just pulled for her and got the other girl on the banner instead and a random SSR of Tazuna

Well grats, I've heard the other girl still is really great even if as not as god tier as Kitasan Black

Speaking of.... I just did 120 pulls and got a Kitasan Black! That's pretty cool. I'll pretty make sure I get to 200 pulls at least to get the guaranteed one too so that should be at least one uncap

I got a feeling this looks bad, but so far this is the best Ive done in this game (havent pulled other than what it made me pull). Ive just been focused on the Career or whatever and dunno when I should be doing the story or anything.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/07419292.jpg

The game is just about doing career runs over and over so don't stress about how good you gotta do on any current run. You'll eventually do more runs with that same Uma to get a better result and a stronger version of that Uma to put on your Trials team! Just do whatever seems right and learn how it works your first few runs

You can do your pulls now btw (with the Support Card event with the girl with black hair!)

Looks like the new event is up and we can pull for Kitasan Black

Watch out that there's actually two support card banners you can pull under. Don't pull under the one with the girl with glasses by mistake! You want the one with a girl with black hair

Ive heard you want at least a couple hundred guts. But you should get it just from using it early on when it rolls 3-4 friends or a hint, from the extra guts you get training stam, or free guts from events. Shouldnt ever really be training it just to have it

Justice has a name! And that name, besides Justice, is Captain Hammer.

Gold Ship lore is funny af

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P26Opa7F5g0

Race where people had bet a collective 12 billion yen on Gold Ship, and he threw it away by beefing with another horse in the starting gate

Gotcha, seems best to just do Medium or maybe Mile for the requests then. Even Long racers tend to have to do those races for a lot of the career to build up to the Long races first

Looking for good places to camp out / go fishing for the summer and I've heard there's some good lakes out that way. Red Deer is a bit far from where I'm at in Edmonton but not too crazy, I could do it for a weekend

Btw how is distribution of shoes generally for everyone? Is it random or are some rarer then others, or maybe based on the Uma's you are using?

I tend to have plenty of Sprint, Mile, and Medium shoes but not too many Long or Dirt shoes. If the distribution is random I'd probably put up Long and Dirt requests more to keep up my supply, but if those are low for everyone its prob good to just avoid them.

The number of Uma's with brown hair and a white accented streak in the middle is crazy.. I guess that white streak must just be super common in real horses

Emperor Rudolf is especially weird because she has brown hair towards the front of her head with a white streak but then most of her hair behind is orange... it's like she's wearing some kind of Special Week face mask....

I have Mayana Top Gun which is an E and and Matikanefukukitaru which is F, I was thinking if its possible to raise them to a C or B it'd be at least nice to add a second character for Dirt on my Trial Team aside from just Urara

Oh I was just thinking about how to get that dang crane achievement, Urara seems like a good idea

I don't really get sparks that much, can you use that 2 star Dirt to create more dirt racers?

Btw these legend races look worth it to do even if you lose horribly, you get the star pieces for the character just for entering? So just bang those out for free

Oh snap, my Daiwa Scarlet was only a D+ so I redid and got a B+ and she crushed Special Week in the Legend Race, get owned

.....This came out?

It's shocking to me that I had no idea about this and haven't heard about it IRL, online, or from any content creators. Not a single commercial or ad seen. I don't even know who's playing Superman!

Just barely got enough event points to finish the story cutscenes for that Dashing event so I got a copy of that SSR Suzuka/Special Week card, so that's nice. I finished two bingo cards so I guess that takes me to two uncaps?

It kinda bodes poorly for this games pacing though - it's surprising to me they would have the intro event like that end so quickly when people are just picking up the game, it wouldn't hurt to just let it go for another week or two as people pick up the game since it ties so well into that initial tutorial race showing Special Week win. Two weeks is way more time than you need for an event like this when they come up naturally, but it's a lot for somebody who just started the game figuring out everything they need to do..... Gotta do lots of career runs and figure out you better be doing all your team trials and daily race every day (and be winning them).

There's still missions I'd need another day or two to complete.

Thanks for making the club. Ill join but unfortunately newbs are gated until your trial team is stronger

Question: if a skill says Pace Chaser to End Closer, does it only work if your trainee is using that running strategy?

added everyone, goddamn a lot of you have completed a fuckton of career wins considering how long that just took me

how do stats really work? I had like 575 speed, 300 stam, 450 power etc and against racers with all stats around 200-250 and still barely win or even get 3rd or something

Alright I installed this at 11pm last night as a meme and played until 3am. I followed the Bakushin Path to Bakushin right through my obstacles. I guess I get it

i didnt make it through the final couple goals but C rank seems ok. If theres a board 8 circle Ill join it

My favourite streamer and best friend NorthernLion has been playing this, despite him being exactly the opposite type of person who like either anime/cutesy stuff or gacha/degenerate mobile games

I am personally a big fan of some gacha games like Raid so I get the genre.... but I am utterly perplexed by this game. It seems like a parody, where it has every single degenerate aspect emblematic of the genre and instead of having any actual compelling gameplay or stimulating activity to actually do...... there's just cute anime girls having a concert.

This man is in hell.

St Anger never gets respect

I'm not a horror movie person whatsoever so I'm almost certainly never going to see this, but the trailer with the "Boots" Rudyard Kipling poem is an absolute masterpiece. I love it.

Common advice for when people start Act 3 - you can go straight to Lumiere and do the final sequence to beat the game right now. If you want it to be a challenge, you should just go do it right now. There is a TON of act 3 content, but if you go do it, the final boss will be a breeze after. People usually just do the final boss then go back and do the other content afterwards.

stole this from reddit but it seems to apply to this board

I love it, very excited

I do think LN2 is playing it goofier than LN1 but that's okay, it doesn't have to be exactly the same. Nobody can just *be* LN1

Frieren is a great show from what I watched, but reading it right before watching it definitely made it so I couldn't keep at it. Was too fresh, so transitioning to anime pacing wasn't tenable for my patience. Nobodies fault but my own.

this kinda odd to me. I also read Frieren first and I felt that the adaptation took great material and made it god tier, an absolute elevation

I just watched Dandadan, this fuckin ruled

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

Many of us didnt recognize the pun until deep into the game, we have no idea what we are getting ourselves into >_>

I think the game does a really poor job ramping up to dodge/parry timing. Most games will spend the first dungeon giving players pretty forgiving timings for dodge and parry. This one just doesn't; it's hard from the get-go. I think this is a legitimate complaint.

Dodge timings are looser than parry timings, because they don't give AP and don't counter attack. Parry timings are meant to be tight if you keep trying to those, I think you'll find if you just dodge, windows are pretty forgiving

It's intended for you to just dodge if you are struggling to parry, and then transition to parry if you find you are getting Perfect Dodges every time (which are the parry timing, and give AP anyways if you have Dodger) in.

wallmasterz posted...

Love the areas whole vibe and the reaper enemies are cool, great aesthetic overall

I didn't get the memo on the Jump icon and spent this entire zone thinking I wasn't getting the right timing for the third attack in the big sweeping sword combo......

Not regularly but in a pinch if something really smudges it or the rain hits it or something.

So I gave this a try. I went through one full cycle and ended up refunding it. There's a lot I didn't like

1. I was under the impression this wasn't just a rehash of Elden Ring assets. I thought they had explicitly said this isn't just a roguelike game mode or whatever within Elden Ring. I guess it isn't technically a game mode since its own other launcher, but it really is just the same mobs and bosses and environments. There might be extra stuff added but I expected more original content based on those statements. Maybe thats my own misunderstanding, but this was an enormous let down the second I got to the tutorial boss.
2. Even though I love the Dark Souls games, I never really played much Elden Ring. I played it a bit, enough to recognize Margaret. There's not really any reason why I haven't played more, it's definitely a great game, I just haven't gotten around to it. But that means I'm really unfamiliar with a lot of the gameplay and enemies compared to my buddies that played it a ton. We are therefore having very different gameplay experiences, where I am learning everything when we come across it for the first time while its old hat for them. This is a pretty frustrating dichotomy. With how fast paced the game is, it feels like its expecting their level of familiarity rather than expecting people needing to pick things up
3. The circle is really annoying. I played an enormous amount of PUBG so I definitely appreciate the type of nudge to player behaviour its intended to bring, but this implementation is just bad. When you stumble into an area with a lot of enemies or a named boss, it can take a bit of time to clear it out - which you don't have. The circle shouldn't give you unlimited time to clear out every area of interest you could reach, but it's ridiculous when the only main area of interest we get to is still being cleared out and the circle is coming through. This wasn't well balanced at all. This is massively expounded by the lack of notification. I guess we are just supposed to keep opening the map (while trying to quickly clear these areas...) and squinting at the blue circle lines to tell if its moving towards you or not to know if the circle is coming in or not, and if you don't notice it'll sweep in and kill you super quickly, especially if you are a squishy character. In a PVE game, I don't get why they would make this so punishing
4. This might be something that I would intuit a bit better with more play time, but gearing was really unsatisfying. It's really hard to tell what a weapon is going to do effect wise or how much damage it does. Weapons have different swing times so some weapons have lower or higher damage - so when you pick up a new weapon, how do you tell if its an upgrade over your current weapon, and by how much? There's green for GOOD or red for BAD indicator I guess and you might assume rare blue weapons are good and epic purple weapons are even better but that would depend on your character. I played Ironeyes which has a great Dex stat, but I couldn't really tell when a weapon scaled with my stat or not, and I tried lots of different bows but couldn't really tell at all what was doing better damage. Ultimately - all my weapons felt like they were doing no damage at all once we got past day 1. I'm not sure if I was unlucky or just not finding the right gear but I was doing literally no damage to the day 3 boss. When we were in the safe area before the last day I looked at my buddies profiles and it showed little meters next to everyone's weapons and they had weapons that were like 3/4 full with numbers like 350 next to them, while my cool fire whip I had was like 1/5 full maybe and said like 130, and my bow was even lower and said like 70.... I don't know what those meters or numbers represented, but I'm assuming my weapons were just really bad? But I genuinely have no idea how I was supposed to know that or what I could do to fix it. I had some smithing stones but I couldn't even use it on my weapons for some reason either, maybe due to rarity not matching. I'm sure game knowledge would help here but I definitely had no fun at all despite finding weapons that I thought would increase my fun a lot

Anyways, after our first day 3 cycle, I was at 111 minutes, so I refunded the game on steam. 3/10 would not play again, sorry to my bros who had to find a rando third for the runs after that

Just unlocked the ability to start increasing Lumina points.

I really wanna start minmaxing and respecting now but I ASSUME I should hold off on that? Haven't felt like the game is demanding it yet.

I've literally never used a Recoat and I'm in the postgame. I figured I'd save them until I know for sure what I want but you do get more of them, and I'm always getting more Lumina points anyways. I may as well have respecced a few times. I'd say if you have something you want to do resource wise, just go for it

I was so thankful it split up the people that I used and didn't use pretty well

RikkuAlmighty posted...

Wait so does that mean I shouldnt be using my resources to upgrade my weapons with that creep?

Those resources are just used for upgrading your weapons so.... there's not really any reason not to use them. If you have a weapon you want to upgrade it, then upgrade it

I definitely wouldn't be trying to keep multiple weapons on par though. Every now and again you'll see weapons get upgraded for you to a usable state, just see if they seem interesting enough to consider swapping to when that happens.

Yep, on the world map every single pack of enemies you can see will always drop weapon or picto upgrade when you beat it the first time, so you always wanna hit them up, or remember to come back later if they roll you.

It can happen in dungeons too but it it's not every pack. I'd just always try to kill everything once regardless tbh.
