Current Events > Gacha Game General Topic 15: ''Why do we still roll? Just to suffer?''

(+) Yeah! (+)

For me, my phone can't handle all them particles. It gets exponentially worse with the black mist thing

Btw, the new char has some op potential, especially if you have Garam and Gabrielle

2nd normal skill: Increase surrounding party's critical damage by 100% for 4 seconds
chain skill: Increase dmg and crit rate of party by 30% for 5 seconds
5* passive (really weird one): Increase dmg and decrease dmg taken by 50% of your weapon skill recharge rate (from bonus cdr stat I imagine)
Weapon passive: 2nd skill also damages enemies for 150% dmg and heal for like 15% of the dmg
Just noticed I can't find her party passive stat buff though

From my own tl, but should be accurate. Others are fairly typical, and her weapon has like 20% wep cdr and 15% crit rate. The name of it is Messiah, or it should be but pronounced wrong in Korean as Messi-ah

Anyone play Marvel Strike Force? Because I found out you can use blind on Daredevil to make him like doubly blind lol

---

It happened again! Heinrichs Hunch Punch pulled back, then flew straight up instead of going towards the enemy <_<

Also, when you launch a carriers planes, does that erase the attacks that are on the screen at that moment? Like something to make up for the fact that theres a big anime waifu obscuring most of the screen? Or does it just look like thats happening and Im getting invisible torpedoes up the ass :<

---

Dunno about Hunch Punch, but when an airstrike is launched, it removes enemy projectiles.

---

Good to know about air strikes :D

---

Yeahhhhhhhhhh

I'm considering a bunch of older games I used to play to indulge in for a few days, but it's not an easy decision cuz my phone only has 2.5 gb of space left

I've only come back to one gacha before and that was FFBE: War of the Visions.

Even then it took a massive AI overhaul and FF4 characters (including a free Cecil) to make me give it another shot. I'd say it's done well enough to keep me this time, though the eventual FFX collab helps too (dumping all my ores on getting Auron).

I literally play gacha games and console games simultaneously sometimes.

In my case I'm just playing two gacha at once across two phones. That's how I seemingly manage over a dozen games when people asked me about my list earlier.

Nah, only Marvel game I play is Future Fight.

I remember trying out Strike Force before, but was turned off by the lack of X-Men and Fantastic Four as this was back when Disney was still throwing a tantrum and blocking their appearances in various video games.

Can you save the tickets for later, or do you have to use them during this event?

Not sure if anyone else knows who FG3000 is, but thats one of his red flags lol. He says that when a game has a 6 month celebration or something, it makes him nervous because it seems like the developers arent confident that their game will last long lol.

Dunno. Looks to be the standard gacha tickets so save for whenever I think though

Good, then I can save them for Grea and Princess Peco. I don't care about anyone else that comes out between now and those two.
---

Man, that seems super generous. I'll take it with no complaints though. Sitting at 25,000 gems so I think Im doing well for any prifest units. Do tickets count for the pity system? I haven't been playing much due to family emergencies but I did recently get Tamaki to 3* and she just wrecks the arena with her story boosted stats. Kaori even at 2* does over half bosses health in this current event enabling one try to down the boss.

Have next to no time for the new azur lane event unfortunately. Just dailies for now.

If tickets count toward the spark, then you're looking at 30,000 jewels plus those tickets to guarantee the spark. With no tickets, it's 45,000 jewels for a spark. Unless of course you actually have the luck to pull them normally, which you would hopefully be able to do instead of relying on the spark.

Damn, those are some nice Priconne goodies. <3

They do!

Looks like the Berserk collab is coming back to SMT: Liberation.

Aside from bringing back the first set of characters, they're also adding Griffith, Berserker Armor Guts, and Zodd.
---

Yay for the first time ever I got the Top Operator tag. I chose Ranged along with it in hopes of getting another Exusiai, but Ifrit would also be acceptable. But of course it came along when I have tags for a guaranteed 5 star (Slow and Shift for FEater) :<

I have enough hero crystals to max out another hero and I think I'm gonna do Oghma.

Magicami hopping on the obligatory Jeanne dArc gacha.

Did it really need to be Kokoa again? Right after Hestia? Being a Kokoa fan is hard sometimes.

Uggh did they change the memory shard drop rate for Hard stages? I swear I got an okay amount of them until the event, and now I've been getting dreadful luck with them.

Wish me luck, I'm about to open my top operator recruit bag...Dang, Shining :<

I dunno, I think with the beyond awful drop rate of them from the event it just makes it even more frustrating to get nothing rather than an actual change. Pretty sure I'm not even going to get enough to get Hatsune by the end (even if I was tempted to wait until pulling her to use the shards to get her up to 4* after anyway)

---

Damn, I should've waited for that "Good luck!"; maybe it would've changed the outcome :<

AFAIK memory shard drop rate for regular stages hasn't changed. It should still be 50%, so if you're not getting as many as you were before, you're just on a bad luck streak.

Guardian Tales season 2 trailer (shit about to get real. Playable Laura pls)

Hey, Shinning isn't the worst 6* at least? >.>

Well she was one of the two I didn't want :<

I would've taken ms. Apple Pie or Ifrit, but didn't want Nightingale or Shining :(

---

Almost there...I'm on the fourth to the last step of finishing Akashi's annoyingly long quest line. So 2 days to do chapter 4 hard quests, 2 days to do chapter 5 hard quests, then paw prints :D

---

Been making my way through more of the character/guild stories in Priconne.

After the reveal, Yuki has now become my favorite elf.
---

I am not emotionally prepared for Guardian Tales season 1 finale in 2 days

I just saw the S2 trailer and it looks nutty as fuck.

Also for W11, I've heard there are 2 endings, so I'm guessing you're given a choice... I wonder how they're gonna handle the transition into the next season though, considering the trailer suggests little princess is back in the story

Ending spoilers: broken up into 3 parts. Check out the first part first, then from there, up to you to decide to read the second or third part.

Part 1:

You have to choose at the end to go back to the past (part 2). This is the only canon ending and the game progresses based on this. Or remain in the future (part 3) not canon but maybe something that still happens in an alternate universe?

Part 2:

You get a very sad scene where you leave the future princess behind. Everyone (still alive) is there watching you go. It's incredibly sad. I haven't read the story but I looked at the picture and that alone makes me want to cry.

Part 3:

The princess hugs you and says she's glad you're staying because she didn't want to lose you again. You send your helmet back to the past by itself and get a scene where you become the future Knight. Then you get a scene where the little princess finds your helmet and she's crying over it thinking you've abandoned her.

Basically you're fucked no matter what you do.

---

Part 3 is by far the worst though D:

A lot of games/anime have that sort of ending where the protagonist temporarily goes somewhere new, meets new friends, then has to leave them to go back home at the end, so I'm well prepared for that lol.

If you think about it that's basically the same ending to all the different various collaboration events in gachas.

Huh... well that's interesting. My phone was too shit to run the game well when I tried it out a couple years ago, so if this new version is also released outside of Japan, I might have to try the game out again.

Why does the little princess guilt trip me so?

Cant you come visit more often? Umm...that would make me very happy

She says this knowing damn well Im pressed for time with other games and that I can only check in once a day to finish the dailies :<

https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2021/03/01-1/mobile-rpg-princess-connect-redive-introduces-ayane-ahead-of-the-next-clan-battle-beta

Ayane and a second Clan Battle beta are coming to global PriConne soon, but what I want to talk about is this at the bottom:

Addressing the Gacha Banner Schedule:

Beginning with the Ayane Focus Gacha, we will be shifting the pace of the banner schedule and extending the duration of each banner. In addition, there may be a small gap of a couple of days in between banners moving forward. We believe this will provide a better experience for the global playerbase as we strive to ensure that each Focus Gacha will be available for an appropriate duration to give players ample time to aim for their favorite heroines.

This is all subject to change as we continue to closely monitor the health of the game and the progress of the global community. We hope with these new changes, all players will be able to enjoy our wonderful world even more.

So when global PriConne first launched, people were concerned that Crunchyroll might be moving the game too fast compared to JP. Now they tell us that they're extending banners (and likely the events they're tied to as well) and adding gaps between banners (which I think JP didn't have) on top of that. It's entirely possible that global could be moving slower than JP after these changes, and I don't like that idea at all.

Finally cleared the very hard dungeon in PriConne, thanks to a clan member's Chika :D

I finally beat the Beta Weapon in GT.

What a fucking pain in the ass that thing was.

Only just recently beat it as well. Had to cheese it with tanks/healers going in several times running the timer out. Not sure I can be bothered doing it again so just reset before it atm.

Also not sure how I feel about slowing the game down. Feel like it might be slowing down too much but as it was I did feel I was always going to be struggling to keep up having not started at soft launch.

Soft launch is not a significant advantage, and that advantage will shrink as the game gets older. There were no events during soft launch at all, so the only advantages those players have are time to level and gem hoard. Levels should be added a slower rate than you will level up even with the accelerated schedule. The gem hoard difference is significant only for those players who were top PVP during soft launch due to daily ranking rewards, as the daily mission rewards total up to about 700 gems IIRC, which isn't even enough for 5 singles. And you won't be facing those top PVPers in your Arena, because your bracket was almost certainly created after their bracket filled up.

Whaling creates a bigger advantage that F2P soft launch did. A player starting after official launch technically has a larger gap to overcome compared to official launch vs soft launch, because they will have missed rate up banners. And honestly, those people that did min-max starting from soft launch were likely going to be ahead of you anyways, because they would have min-maxed even if they started from official launch. You'd just have the illusion of a level playing field.

For me at least soft launch provided little advantage. I started the first day of soft launch and I'm not max level (in fact I'm lower than Calwings who started later), I was just recently able to clear very hard dungeon, and winning in my bracket in the arena is a near impossibility at 1233rd for normal and 3198th for princess.

---

Fair enough, maybe I'd feel like I was struggling anyway!

Kokkoro at 3* now and finally got Monika from the shop :)

@Calwings Is there space in the CE clan at the moment? I don't mind being in a casual clan, but my current clan only has 5-6 members logging in for the past couple of days, so I figure it might be better to look for a new one.

Yes, it's open and you can join. Search for "PrinCEsses" and look for the clan with Cal as the leader.

I just kicked a couple of low-level accounts that had been inactive for a couple of weeks. I'm giving you guys a heads up now: before each Clan Battle (after this next one) I'm going to do a sweep of the clan and kick accounts that have been inactive for too long.
---

Alright. I just left my current clan, so I'm in the cooldown period, but I'll let you know when I've applied tomorrow.
