I'm so glad you're enjoying Dragon Ball, Leon. Hopefully you'll enjoy Z as well. Z is, of course, the bread and butter for most Western fans. And it's good! But as I'm sure you've heard many times over, the pacing can be... questionable at times. Not insofar as nothing happens -- far from it -- but the amount of time that certain things take in the midst of a happening can be... ridiculous is a good word for it, methinks. Oh nice, I was wondering if it got there! also you scooped my Game of the Decade topic...! --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

incoming gacha rant
So, I just looked up some mechanics info and did some quick calculator math and I wasn't too thrilled with the result! damn gachas Okay, so like I was saying, I just started like a week ago. I soon discovered there's a Kara no Kyoukai event planned for around Valentine's Day. This got my attention because I really loved KnK and this event would let me, gacha permitting, some KnK characters and that would make me very happy. Now a quick rundown of some of this stuff: To have a chance at getting any of them I'd have to roll 3 "Saint Quartz" for 1 chance. So naturally my objective is to obtain as many of these as I can as quickly as I can. You can buy them with real money of course, but I'm not about that life. Getting them for free is... a bit more limited. Thankfully, progressing through the story gets you a fair amount of them. You also get some for logging in enough days in a row (roughly the equivalent of 6 per week). But that's moooostly it. And I've progressed far enough in the story where it's getting prohibitively more difficult to keep pushing through on this timetable (short version: leveling is pretty slow and ultimately, in a sense, tied to real time.) Worst comes to worst, there's a thing that lets you "borrow" another player's unit to join your team and this is exactly as OP as it sounds. Because I'm neurotic I've tended to avoid this when I can instead use a Story Guest NPC in their place. I suppose if I get desperate enough I can break this rule but yeah. Anyway, back to the math section of this discussion. The KnK characters. I have two main targets: Fujino and Shiki (Saber). If I am interpreting this correctly the odds of getting them per pull is 1.5% and 0.8% respectively. Which is... less than ideal. I am, atm, sitting on 175 Saint Quartz (+33 more effectively in what are called Summon Tickets.) We're about 3 weeks out from this event so let's tack on another 21 for saying I log-in once a day because that's fairly trivial to do. That would put my total at 237. That puts my odds of obtaining Fujino at ~70% and Shiki at ~47% if I blew every last Saint Quartz I had on this - which btw I am 100% willing to do I mean hell, I only started a week ago what the hell - I would very grudgingly accept just Fujino as a success but damn if I haven't played enough Fire Emblem to be sweating like hell at a 30% fail rate. Now, in all likelihood my total Saint Quartz count will be a bit higher than that projected 237 because there's still some stuff I can do even outside the story (and as time goes by maybe I can power up my team enough to keep going) and hell there was a day where the game just dropped 30 on me for a reason I didn't fully understand so if it gives me another such gift we're in business but man the probability graph on this is not great! If we assume I somehow get up to 300 Quartz that only ups my odds to 78%/55%. what is this hell i have entered tl;dr: everyone should get hype for my LIVE attempt to overcome the gacha rng around like 2/15. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

Yup gacha sucks. Easy enough to use 800SQ on a Servant and still fail to get them!
Also it's .7% per roll for Shiki, not .8! On the bright side, everyone gets a free version of Shiki during the KnK event, and she's actually more powerful than the gacha version! New players will often burn through the story pretty quick using powerful Support Servants, but it's cool if you don't want to do that. How far into the story are you now? Chapter 6 (Camelot) is where it really starts getting difficult. For getting XP, you should be doing the 40AP XP node pretty much exclusively. The lower levels are much less efficient. I wouldn't feel bad about using friend servants for this. Do you want to Friend me in-game? My ID is 893,487,556. Let me know if you do so and what your name is so I can accept you. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also it's .7% per roll for Shiki, not .8!lmao. was 1.5% right on Fujino at least? At sub-50% I was always considering Saber Shiki a bonus. Mac Arrowny posted... How far into the story are you now? Chapter 6 (Camelot) is where it really starts getting difficult.Chapter 3 (Okeanos). Probably like halfway/a little less based on previous chapters. Just fought a dragon that took some thinking/rearranging/luck to deal with using only the Story NPC... who was the sole survivor at like 3% HP. >_> He was a jerk where all his attacks were AoE though and that's been quite rare so far. I'm pretty sure I could keep pushing through a bit even right now but I can tell my current team is reaching its limit until I power them up some more. Mac Arrowny posted... Roger! Mac Arrowny posted... Sure, thanks! Name is Zero because I had Drakengard on the mind at the time. >_> --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

Professor Layton and the Last Specter Chapter 8 complete! Now I can tell we're definitely nearing the end.
This was the first chapter I actually missed puzzles, but by the end of the game, I usually get tired of going to literally every single area whenever we hit a new point in the story, so it's bound to happen. I'm just glad I held out as long as I did! --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Friend request accepted! And 1.5% for Fujino was correct, yeah.
Wow, your team really is low level! I had one level 90 Servant before Okeanos came out, so it was a lot easier for me, haha. If you want to use friends but not totally rely on them, you can use Servants like Waver who buff your own Servants rather than being particularly strong on their own (though his high attack stat would still make him stronger than your guys, heh). --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. ...
