Hunt11 posted:So do we have any idea how fast they will be bringing out new content for the US version? The Taiwan/Chinese version of the game is releasing content at roughly twice the pace that the Japanese version did, so it is possible we will get that pace, the early release of Gilgamesh seems to indicate something similar. On the other hand, the translation complaints may slow them down.

Endorph posted:slightly faster than they released in the jp version but still somewhat slow at first, would be my guess. depends if they get more than 3 people Is it three people working on the actual script and more people working on the coding/networking/etc? Because 3 people shouldn't take long to translate the content but if its like 3 people doing everything then lol

Cao Ni Ma posted:Because 3 people shouldn't take long to translate the content it's 3 people doing the translation but specifically it's one person translating literally everything, one person editing/proofreading whose english is tenuous, and one person telling them what to do. for a project of this size and with a constant breakneck pace you'd want at least a dozen people, 4-5 translators and 6-7 editors. a head translator to manage everything and probably do a bunch of the important story scenes, one guy helping him with the main story one guy for the event stories one guy for servant dialogue/bond dialogue/etc one guy for the menus/skill descriptions/np names/skill names an editor for each of those, plus two more for luck that'd be a setup that could actually push out content at a decent pace. you could cut that down to like 3 translators and 3-4 editors and get by, but one guy trying to tl literally everything just isnt going to get much done.

So I've been doing some digging to find out what I should save Mana Prisms for, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the only one that seems worth it is the Bond Points card, Chaldea Lunchtime. The other two (all of which, to max out, costs 7k MP) don't seem that worth the effort to save/grind for. I imagine QP costs get ridiculous later on, but the QP card, for what it takes to max, doesn't seem worth the investment. And the exp one just strikes me as pointless because I'm leveling my outfit up just fine as is. But I'm not a FGO veteran, so I'm asking for opinions as to whether or not to save for them. I'd like to get the BP card when it comes out, but I don't know if the other two are worth saving for.

Factor in playing the game for 2 years at least, needing around 600,000,000 qp if you manage even 3 SSR's, and that you can have a support with a LB QP CE.

So, since I need to get silver saber pieces and void refuse/ashes for my next ascension, should I aim for the 20 or 30 AP daily for them? Not sure which is more efficient.

30AP guarantees a drop at the end. It might be a a Gold piece but you'll need those in the future anyway.

Sooo, I've been halfheartedly rerolling throughout the day, as I'm still sick and was chasing the dream of getting a Gil + Waver account to replace my Waver one. I did get Gil several times, Jeanne a couple of times and Altera once. But no double 5* that would make it worth switching. And then on the very last reroll before going to bed this happened.  No Gil, but you know what, I think this is acceptable.

I stumbled across a Summer Martha video and I can't believe how JOJO esque it is. There's even a JOJO edit version of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBU1WdLTUqg Also Herc is Bestzerker.

So since the big launch event is pretty much over by now is this currently about the rate of quartz we can expect? A slow trickle from login chains and maybe a few from maintenances if we're lucky?

The thing is that while using level 50 Hercs as a support in the dailies does make a huge difference, having two level 50 Hercs in the same situation (along with a St. George) is a game changer. Assuming I don't get hosed on a lack of Buster Cards at the very start of either the second or first rounds, I can reliably make it to the final round without losing anyone. And a lot of times often I'll kill things so fast that I'll even be able to re-activate George's target, slap an evade on him, and then kill the last bunch of guys and leave it all with no one dead.

With the rerolled account that got me Vlad, I'm almost tempted to pick someone other than Herc with my ticket. On the other hand, on my original account I have Herc and Lancelot, and together they just roll everything with such ease. Maybe I'll even get lucky and pull another Lancelot and then I can just have a full zerker team.

If you still haven't use your campaign ticket, getting Herc is a good idea if you're lacking damage. If you have absolutely no favorites otherwise, get Emiya just for bonuses in future events.

I know not to combine 5* CEs unless I have like tons of them, but what about 4* ones?

One thing that wasn't clear to me at first is that leveling up a CE, unless I'm mistaken, only affects the HP/Attack bonuses. The only way to improve the main effect of the CE is to limit break them (i.e. fuse together the same CEs) until it's 4/4. So at least for 4* CEs it probably makes sense to sit on them for the most part, unless you wind up with a huge glut of them and then you might as well full limit break them to get the bonus effect.

I'll probably pick up Herc before the event ends, but for now I'm holding on to my voucher just in case I pull him - which I know is unlikely, but shoot, I'm a collector. If I win the Herc, I might go for Emiya.

Right now my leveling items have gone to Lancelot and Tamocat. She is a great damage dealer at lvl 27 but Lancelot is pretty squishy and didn't do as much damage at 23 - is Herc still a better option than Emiya even though I have those two berserkers already? Also, how the heck do you level in this game? I have been playing a bit every day and am in Rome now. At the beginning I had a or of levelling stuff and have been using what I get from the friend gatcha but I have slowed down incredibly with leveling and have no idea where I am supposed to be levelling up. I have friends with absurdly high leveled character and I'm not sure how they are doing it.

Leveling comes from doing the dailies rather than story mode, exit out of the story mode and click on the chaldera flag to access the dailies. The first group of 4 dailies give xp, the second group of 3 give mats, and the last group of 4 give QP. Herc is much better than Tamocat but if you don't have a decent archer, you may be better off with Emiya. It is not a real clear choice as Herc is just that good.
