Yeah, it's a PC client beta for PGR. I already sent in my application, so I hope I get in!

Oh awesome! This game is so smooth on mobile. Playing on PC would be a treat.

Anyone got an active union for Nikke?

I kept getting kicked till I found one but the damn leader hasn't logged in for 3 days now.

I'm in one called kenzoku in NA. It's active, not sure if there's space. But since there's no real guild activity available rn, it's just kinda there anyways

Hmm, PGR PC sure is interesting.
Hopefully it is a success.

Btw drought broke at pull #88. Still doesn't feel great, and I'm completely stuck at Ch 9 cuz the power level increase potential dropped off pretty hard

Counterside got a collab announcement, and it's some purchasable skins for HoloMyth, aka EN first gen.

It's probably not getting the reception they were hoping. Probably shouldn't have hyped it up so much if it's just a silly set of skins

Skins??? Seriously? This has to be some sort of a joke. That would be one of the biggest kick in the balls for me. I haven't been looking forward to any new characters and was hoping this collab would save my interest in the game, but if it's just cosmetics, my desire to continue playing shall wane :<

I mean hell, Epic Seven's stupid collab with a K-Pop band may be weird, but fuck, at the very least we're getting the girls as actual characters.

Soo... in another set of baffling growing list of bugs in Nikke

Turns out if you leave the screen shaking on, you do less fucking damage. By a lot, no less.

I have to wonder how many stages I struggled with because of this shit

Just a heads up for Priconne global. The Kaiser Raid coming up heavily resticts what units you can use for each boss. The restrictions lean heavily into story, which basically means each boss can only be fought by characters (mostly) canonically fighting them in story (collabs are weird). For example, Makoto can only be fielded during the fight against Kaiser herself, not against any of the other bosses in the event.

Here's a full breakdown, if you can stop laughing at the auto-translated names:

Cal, I know you were pretty heavily restricting what units you built, so this might make some bosses difficult for you to contribute on.

I just took a look. For the first two bosses (physical and magic) I only have 4 units built that would work, but for the others I have enough for at least a decent team. Plus, I read somewhere that we can use multiple support characters for each battle, so I should hopefully be able to fill out those teams with support characters.

Yeah, multiple supports for no mana cost helps, though I'm not sure which support slot is used at the moment (could be event, or it could be story/quest).

We'll find out when the event starts, I guess.

Looks like I'm going to have to burn though Priccone's story quick-like this week. I wouldn't want to miss this raid event. Still a little salty that I missed out on Magia Record's raid way back when, right before the English servers closed.

That related to doing more damage with a higher FPS?

That related to doing more damage with a higher FPS?

This particular case is based on the fact that the screenshake results in missing the core of the enemies which results in less critical damage. So this should make people do even less damage with the various crit dmg buffs in the game.

The FPS things is a whole other issue, where a 10 FPS lock and bursting at the S rank Interception boss' 2nd round of the red circle actually locks the boss into a dormant punching bag, until it switches form, and you have to do it again

So clearly they have AI and other damage calcs based on the registered frames, so yeah probably skipping frames or having less of them results in lesser damage too. It's a pretty baffling decision considering some people are gonna have shitty phones or mid computers with even worse emulators.

I don't really know how they let this happen. I've heard that things were kinda different in the beta builds? That's what the Prydwen tier list head told me lmao. I had a small argument with him, and the reason their tier list is shit is that they have full faith the build will one day go back to the beta build. That's a fat chance, unless they really have no resources to fix all their bugs.

Also despite having the best 2 tanks (except Ludmilla's taunt doesn't fucking work) in the game, I've sorta gone back to this pretty broken build. Centi/Helm/Yulha

So Centi gives the team shield at some time frame. Helm gives a team buff that lets you heal the damage you deal, and Yulha lets you share damage taken for 10 seconds every 30 seconds. That combined gives some serious tankiness to the team.

I dunno why I'm basically just pulling all defensive. I hope that pays itself off one day

Sounds like a good team.

I'm just running N102, Anis, Scarlet <-> Helm, Rapi.

I swap Helm and Scarlet depending on the content, like if I need Helm to burst first on auto to get heals to the team.

Yeah cuz of the charge bug, N102 is particularly really good too. I use Rapi as my main DPS still lol. I swap in others based on the element advantage

I use Volume, Dolla, Privaty, Drake and Snow White for a good combo of burst reduction and then some tasty burst 3's. Occasionally change the first two to Pepper or Novel as needed.

Got too carried away and did like a hundred rolls in NIKKE.

Bad news: Only got two SSRs, with the first one not showing up until after a 60+ drought.
Good news: Novel and Rapunzel. The last S-tier loli I needed to complete my loli squad, and a second Pilgrim.

It doesn't quite remove the sting, but I think I can curb my excessive rolling from here.

Molds are still shit though and I'm still missing Alice, annoyingly enough.

Priconne NA newspost is up: https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2022/11/15/princess-connect-re-dive-continues-the-festivities-with-illya-holiday

TL;DR Important stuff: X!Illya 11/22-12/3, daily free 10 pulls 11/22-12-6, Kaiser raid 11/22-11/30, new normal missions on 12/1, CB 11/25-11/30, and Hard drops x2 11/26-11/30.

Pretty much as expected. Just as a reminder, the NY!Karyl Gala banner should be right after the X!Illya banner, and should last until the last day of free pulls, based on JP schedule. Subject to change as always, though I doubt they'd actually deviate from the schedule at this point.

One of the Nikke bugs that's been known for a few days is a stat debuff for not meeting power requirement being so strict and incorrectly interacting with buffs, that it's making crit damage do literal negative multiplier.

Some people have made a point that people spent money for Helm, who buffs crit multiplier, which amplifies the negativity instead of buffing it for some reason, despite crit dmg mults being additive, are being ripped off via false advertisement. Saying this is grounds to sue

I think that's a bit excessive, and it's not like people outside... Korea? China? have any power anyways. Would be interesting to see it unfold

Needless to say, this game was rushed out, and this is quite possibly both one of the more impressive looking and the buggiest game I've ever played

Nana without her bananas just... doesn't feel right. Oh well. I got her anyways and didn't spent that many gems in the process.

Probably a dumb question (about Azur Lane again), but if I oath a ship that doesn't have an oath skin yet I'll definitely still get the skin if she does get one, right? Again, probably a dumb question, just wanted to be sure. Got too many ships I want to oath and most of them don't have an oath skin yet. >_<

Yes, you will receive the oath skin on the update that it's patched in.

With twitter looking like who knows what's going to happen, Arknight needs to bring in google account binding. Don't use facebook as my other option and rather not be reliant on Elon's childish tantrums for security/back up >.>

Oh shit just after Counterside kicks Global in the nads with their skin collab I find out rearm is coming out next month which reminded me that I wanted Kestrel Xiao Lin

Nikke Co-op starting tmrw. They also dropped the event hard mode power req down to literal doable levels.

They were so greedy that literally only the ultra hardcore whales could barely pass hard-10. I was stuck at hard-5, now I can get up to hard-9.

In a poll of about a thousand ppl, it was discovered only 2% of ppl there, if the poll can be trusted and people aren't choosing memes, could beat hard-10.

90% of people are in the 0~30000 range, and I'm currently in the 27000 range as a day 1 player who played loosely for the first week. Meanwhile the hard-10 were demanding 48000 power. That's almost double what majority of the players will be at, and for really bad rewards too. It makes no sense

Of course because they also strictly nerf your damage if you ever dare to try to beat a stage you didn't meet the power req, and the stages themselves are actually pretty tough as it is. So it's just straight up impossible. Tier 1 teams don't even matter

They at least fixed the hard mode, but any other bugs, they claim we'll have to wait til about december for a chance they're mostly fixed.

The chads and chaddettes of AS fandom actually fucking voted Fleur is the number 1 idol of the game.

Ngl, this might actually be the first time I've ever seen so many male char fan rep in a fixed male protag gacha game. Luke is cool and all but he's not appeared nearly as often as any of the chars in the top 10 to warrant being there. I think that's just the looks talking in my eyes. At least Fleur appeared in a shitload of events

The Nikke multi is weirdly fun, though it gets tiring after a while. The duration is only 3 days spurt so it's hard to complaint about any length issues though. I've been running Centi as no other people are. She's technically a tank category and mostly there for the AOE and def debuff, but she's also the best geared unit I have, and the only SSR to have 2 LBs

One tip is that if you queue, if you see a big number, just cancel queue. Trust me, you're not getting in.

If you see a small number, most likely you're gonna get into a room. Matchmaking is clearly bugged. What else is new?

Yeah, I've been enjoying it when it actually works. Or when people actually select a burst 2 unit.

Or even use their burst.

Yeah it's kinda shocking how few people seem to be maining a burst 2. Centi being burst 2 at 20s cd basically makes her one of the best in the slot. Her AOE also breaks all 3 of the turret/missiles when the machine is far enough.

Of course Yuni could be nice. Gotta work with what I have though

I generally use Pepper or Dolla, as rarely get anyone using any sustain/healing or burst 2 and both pretty valuable in this to get the max rewards I've found. Especially without some decent DPS/burst 3's

Most of my rooms have been lacking burst 1's, actually. Not counting the one room who thought Rapunzel was good to have as the only burst 1 (for those who don't know, 60 second cooldown on her burst, aka garbage for actually getting consistent full bursts).

I have Liter and Volume to cover for that, so no big deal either way. The only time I had to fill for burst 2 instead was my very first room where I just brought my main Yuni.

I have questions about HGRF teams in GFL. Guides about them mention HGs like Welrod (who I dont have anyway), but other stuff says that Welrod isnt good anymore because evasion tanking is not a thing later on but dont say what HGs you use instead. Are HGRF teams still a thing and what does a modern team look like if they are? Are Grizzly and M950A still used?

Heian-kyo, early pity system, and stupid sexy Douman coming to FGO on the 21st.

Back when enemy power levels are a bit low and most enemies can be evasion-tanked, Welrod can do just fine.

Now you have enemies who punched through a line, who removed a dummy with every shot, who ignores evasion altogether, etc.

But HG-RF is still very much needed, though as enemy composition gets wilder, sometimes you do non-standard things as well.

Using an SMG or SG in place of 3rd HG as a tank can work.

Sometimes you just like to live dangerously and use 3 HG, anyway.

Here's my main HG-RF team for the current event

So even The World itself rejects me from entering Neural Cloud.

I'm running Nox with Android 7, 64-bit loaded. Neural Cloud downloads fine for me but the game keeps crashing when attempting to decompress the downloaded files after the hotfix.

Edit: Only three total crashes for me! Everything is loaded and I'm ready to rock!
2nd Edit: I found a Neural Cloud wiki that looks like it can work as a beginner's guide.
https://nalu.wiki/neuralcloud/p/beginner-guide-219

Yeah decompressing is crashing for me with Neural Cloud too. First time it crashed at 100%, now it happens at random points during decompressing.

tfw all I need to do so I can install it is jjst to update my phone

(Last update: sept 2022)

Smh

Edit: turns out it is only a simple restart needed for the error to disappear.

Man, bummer.

Wait so Neural Cloud launches tomorrow? I thought it said 3 am UTC-8 which was 2 1/2 hours ago for me, but it says it's under maintenance :<
