TeeQueue posted:I’m so excited to spend all my pulls, get nothing I want, and ragequit the game you guys. Between the actual rates, shards, and the presence of banners for both of them right now? That seems trivial: So far I have never failed to get the 000 of a banner within 50 pulls, much less 80. If you're up to date on EGO I believe that also improves the chance significantly (since it slides those odds over to 000 and 00 extracts), and I was not until very recently. BisbyWorl posted:
As of Hell's Chicken, every Sinner will have exactly 4 identities except for Don Quixote and Yi Sang with 3 each, so it's basically guaranteed they're going to get the 000 and 00 in the final set of the Season. BisbyWorl posted:The problem is that the whole module system means you can max out on lunacy refills every day and just bank the modules for when you have time to actually play. Which is why it's notable that this event seems to be focused on liquid / non-module Enkephalin spending, and they can always refocus more on that in order to create a balanced inflow and outflow of resources. Speaking of which, I really do not understand why this seems to be a trend with Japanese and Korean developers who, in response to individual small-scale bad actors in their system (see: the MD Macro Motherfuckers), don't just penalize or remove items from individual accounts (to say nothing of banning players) and instead tend to immediately leap to huge blanket game-wide crackdowns. I can understand why some Korean devs would be leery of using bans as punishment given that some games in the region use and require a government-issued ID number for login, but account-level actions are the easiest and best solution for situations like this, especially in a live online-only game where all functional account data is stored on your servers. Is there a cultural touchstone event I am missing that leads to this huge difference? Most of the live games I play or have played were either YEARS ago or are Western productions with more proactive and consistent individual action.

Ibram Gaunt posted:I can't see the amount of shards you can get being the same come season 2, definitely expecting the BP crates being reduced to like 1 or the crates only having 1 shard instead of 1~3. There was a math on reddit concerning this, actually (I know, incredibly reliable source). IIRC, assuming a free-to-play player does all their dailies and weeklies, they are almost guaranteed to get enough shards for 1 000 Identity/EGO, an OK chance for 2 000 Identities/EGOs and small chance for 3 000 Identities/EGOs by the end of current season(the chances are based on how lucky the player is with the amount of egoshards they get from crates and with allocation of egoshards from random crates). Players with paid battlepass are guaranteed at least 2 000 Identities/EGOs with good chance for 3-4 000 Identities /EGOs and a small chance for getting 5+ 000 Identities/EGOs. That is without taking into account egoshards you get from rolling dupes, egoshards you get from rewards that are not part of daily/weekly tasks and battlepass and people spending all of their energy grinding Mirror Dungeons, so the real numbers are probably a bit higher. And I mean, having reliable source of rare identities is great, but free-to-play players getting a pick of ~2 extra 000 identities every 3 months is not exactly ruinously generous. It is pretty generous for paid Battlepass players, but that means they have bought the pass, so job well done, no?

Yeah, having exclusive E.G.O.s meant that I was buying the paid pass, but I haven't touched anything else on offer. I still have plenty of boxes left, so I don't see the point of spending Lunacy to refill the meter. The rate at which I'm getting IDs and E.G.O.s has been just fine for me so far, but that might change based on Hell's Chicken and whatever else comes out before Season 2.

I pulled Telepole Don randomly real early but am of course missing the W Don to go with it  When you're still missing solid identities for half your Sinners pulling EGO just makes you feel sad even if they're really good ones E: speaking as someone who joined with only a month before the first pass expires I apprecaite the fast clip letting me actually max it in time without having to hypergrind mirror dungeons Yinlock fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Apr 20, 2023 |

Ten sets of 10 pulls saw exactly *one* thing better than 00 - Sinclair's EGO. My luck was bound to run out at some point! Gonna go shard Ryoshu's ID and get crackin' on the Chicken. I'll see about W Don later.

The stages also seem to give more rewards the deeper you go - stage 3's base reward was 50 bongy plushies, for reference. also good lord Meursault, I'd expect that line from Heathcliff or Ryoshu

Managed to nab the new Ryoshu with some of the event's free tickets. Uptied and leveled, put into a bleed team already with my N Corp Heath, Rodion, Kurokumo Hong, and Seven Outis for the green to cover all 7 sins.

Should really up the bits per dungeon run, even with everything (and 00 gregor doesn't seem great, and sinclair's identities are kind of not great either for this dungeon) you'll only be getting what, ~180 a run? Finishing the story + first initial farmign dungeon clear gives you around 1k bits depending on your bonuses, so to get all the rewards you'll need to run the dungeon 30+ times for a 14 day event  The writing for the event was funny though.

Either the localization or the cutscene coding's slipping. In the dialogue before the dungeon, a line of Heathcliff's attributed to Dante, and lines of Dante's are attributed to Gregor.

So it looks like Dungeon 2 is 80 event points base. If you assume you'll be at like 1000 points after clearing it the first time, you'll need 5000 more. That's...63 clears of the dungeon, or 28 clears if you have all the synergy bonuses from Identites and EGOs. Sounds terrible! (though if you just want the unique event stuff that'll only be 7-15 runs. Up to you how much you want to leave on the table)

Hey important thing to note, Gregor's skills have different attack levels. His second skill in the new identity has a lower attack level than the other two. And skill 3 has the highest.

At least on iOS, dungeon 1 and the last story battle aren’t applying the bonuses right; you only get the base 40/16 plushies on replay. I wasn’t paying attention in the earlier stages/the first go-around, so it could also be bugged there too. I guess Edit: so, since the rewards page specifies that eunbong’s chicken isn’t made from k corp’s singularity, we can probably assume other chicken/foodstuffs is. Given the general trend of how singularities seem to work, I can only assume bodhisattva chicken is people. watchedclock fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Apr 20, 2023 |
