PM I'm going to go into Season 2 with everything sans one 000 Regular Identity and I have like 100+ pulls ready to go for when it hits and that doesn't even account for the 20 days of stuff I've yet to collect.

I haven't even given you any money other than for the Battle Pass.

They're probably fine, since they seemed to have self published so unless they owe some VC firm a ton of money they can't repay as long as the game can break even it'll probably stay up.

At this point I have everything I think is useful out of the dispenser (remaining: w Mersault, Liu Mersault, BL Sinclair; Faust Telepole, Hex Nail, the Outis one, Lantern) and will still have easily 200 boxes at the end of the season. I’m not sure if I should get some of the meh ones Just Because or cash in the thread/s2 shards, I might take MFE just because it’s a cool abnormality.

Not that I need thread badly either, I have hundreds with all the really important IDs uptied.

Gacha…too generous? What is this.

e: found an excellent bug/UI fuckup - checked an EGO off of the level up screen in MD and it’s missing a back button, so I’m stuck inspecting it and need to force close

e2: the back button is there, just way up in the corner and invisible :lobcorp:

Hex Nail and Ya Sunyata are pretty great, being fragility sources for the biggest damage IDs right now, but the others are definitely mid.

My general thoughts on EGO are that they're probably more worth getting than mediocre identities:
  • You have 5 slots that can be filled, so it's probably worthwhile to fill those up even with niche EGOs. Might come in handy, in some small way.
  • They're probably less likely to get powercrept. A ton of EGOs right now are useful because they support powerful identities (thinking about stuff like Don Telepole and Bodysack), so there's always a chance a mediocre EGO becomes great with the right identity, and for future EGOs I would not be surprised if the really powerful stuff gets relegated to WAW and ALEPH.
  • Given how the gacha actually works, the more EGOs you have the more likely you are to get the ones you want in the future. Alternatively you can increase your OOO pull rate once you have all of them, but I don't know how easy it'll be to maintain that.
So yeah basically I think if you have leftover shards start getting some EGOs.

My initial strategy for shards was to get EGO for this reason. I shifted to prioritizing seasonal IDs once it was theorized that they wouldn't always be available.

So, something occurred to me. (apologies for the double post)

I've made posts before about how Ryoshu always has her katana in all of her IDs, and Gregor's arm is somehow screwed up in all his IDs.

In Don's new N Corp ID, one of the NPCs talking about her mentions that she apparently has running shoes on under her boots, which is why she doesn't take them off even during breaks.

I thought for a second, and then went to check her other IDs sprites.

In base LCB, Shi and WARP, she is wearing those same brownish-orange Rocinante shoes.

I'm starting to wonder if all of the IDs have some sort of item or quality that connects them and is a constant in every universe/dimension.

Gregor also has that lil cockroach buddy

Spent my 30 extractions trying to get the funny tingtang man, just got Hex Nail instead :rolldice: oh well at least that's still good

I recall buried in the seasonal explanation or a tutorial somewhere that seasonal IDs will keep being availiable, but not the previous season's

So you won't be able to get any S1 IDs you missed in S2, but can get them again in S3. Probably way cheaper once they've been eclipsed by the meta-defining Smiling Faces Rodion or whatever

If I remember correctly, they originally released the ending of Library of Ruina without the Keter Realization, you went Reverberation Ensemble 1 & 2 directly into Baral and Zena, credits had theme02 playing with pics of the Librarians being all happy and a teaser with Iori proposing a new Association that dealt with Distorsions and E.G.O. Part of the fandom went rabid at that claiming it was because no Realization, ending was sudden and too happy, retcons about why they targeted the Outskirts lab and the Iori teaser was an ad for a new game instead of an ending. They absolutely got death threats I heard.

Eventually they released the Keter Realization, reworded Zena's dialogue explaining why they attacked the lab (Angela's future creation counting as multiple Wing conspiracy), removed the teaser and changed the credits theme away from theme02 which would be the worst crime if it weren't for, you know, the death threats.

They'll say what season they're attached to next to the ID name. Basically, if they're based on someone you meet in a given season's chapters, they're tied to that season. Lobco Faust is based on Yuri, all the N Corp IDs are tied to Chapter 3, etc. And frankly, judging by the infographics they've put out, it's less relevant than you'd think.

G-Gregor isn't wearing those glasses, though at the same time R.B. Gregor's arm isn't necessarily buggy.

I suppose Yi Sang's thing could be the circles under his eyes.

Sinclair's consistency is likely amusingly inconsistent: his sign. It is incorporated into his icon's design and nothing else really fits.

Also, did Don mention at some point that her shoes were made of her friends? I vaguely recall that being a thing and them being name Rociante would seem to support that.
