I played it back near release, and there was almost nothing to actually DO. Lots of timers and poo poo. Maybe it's better now.

I just played 15 minutes and it seems like a cute little time waster. Seems they're adding new stuff at a good rate. Collecting gacha crew members seems potentially fun

Only got one extra slot from level.

Please throw up a request for aid, even if you don't need it. It's great for guild xp and donators get guild currency to boot. Also please donate the 50k max gold each daily and we should pick up levels pretty quickly

Is there a limit on how much you can donate for a single aid request? If there isn't it seems like it can be easily abused for guild XP by rapidly exchanging supplies between 2 coordinated people.

e: Never mind, looks like it's 1 request per day per person.

I've been playing Pixel Starships for a few months. It starts with low timers, a dozen missions available per day, and infinite pvp. Upgrading your ship, room, and recruiting crew is relatively easy

After a few weeks, you start to grind missions to save up enough for upgrades. After a few months, you grind for a week for upgrades that have a week-long timer. Not too bad

I would like to see improvements to the guild system. Great to see that guild starts with room for 100 players. There's no way to increase that cap. There are also starbase raids. Sounds neat, but it takes a lot to build a starbase and all the guilds that have one have a trophy requirement of 2,500

Sez is great don't get me wrong. I started with a solid account myself w/o Ravi or sez. There's a ton of hype about Sez from the community as a whole and he is good. He's solid in arena. However if you really speak wit h people who have experience on the Korean server, Ravi is the strongest pull right now, bar none. Ravi scales amazing even after the nerf, and just lifesteals through all content.

That's pretty much the only better roll you could have gotten.

People really love to say "(hero I don't have) is poo poo!" but they all have their uses. Ravi is a tough as nails tank with solid DPS, Sez shits out damage, Destina is a very tanky healer. They are all really good at what they do.

Anyway, I'm now hungering for more people to use my support team so I need more friends. I have Ravi, Achates, Carmainerose, Kiris and Alexa (although she is low level) in my support squad so there's something for every situation. Please add me at IGN: Detrian if you'd like.

I guess I should be glad that Sez was the first 5* I got yesterday since I was just going to roll until I got a 5* hero.

Was the guild full or was another one started?

Do you still lose use of stuff when you upgrade it?

I really liked it when I played it except it got to a stage where the game became unplayable for days on end unless you forked out a bunch of money after which I quickly dropped it.

Yeah, it seems ok, I'm so early in that it's hard to tell tbh. I swapped him/her out for a 4* wizard that throws up a shield (Doniniel?), and it's been more than ample.

She's good, I use her a lot. I'm sure she'll get shelved at some point down the road, but for now, she hits like a truck and does good area damage.

You can also recruit a healer named Elson from the connections. He has a group ATK/DEF buff and his heal is aoe that scales on enemy max hp, so its great for bosses.

Yeah, I pay zero attention to the story, characters and whatnot, so unless it's obvious, and it's often not, then I have no idea what they are. Setting up camp in the labyrinth to cheer up my team is pretty much me at the edge of my anime limit, though it was kind of funny the first time tbh

The explosions and stuff are great, but the waifu stuff always leaves me cold (looking at you too King's Raid, and PAD to a lesser degree)

It's the least painful game so far. Kind of built in, I'm just impatient

The first selection I gave up after the 5th roll (but got someone decent enough) But the 30 selection has a good chance of something good, and it doesn't take long at all (autoplay most of it)
I thought it'd be individual rolls for the 30, but with it being multiples, there's a good chance of something good.
Other than binding your name, it's pretty humane

If you're farming an exploration mission for friendship, you can open the map and click on a portal you've explored and fast travel at the cost of morale. Instant mission complete, same rewards. edit: To be clear this probably doesn't work for farming drops (that coin) because you don't actually kill any mobs.

This is pretty standard in these kind of games because the weekly rewards are not worth having to put in a lot of effort/risk losing the fights and getting crap currency every battle. So you keep tanked defenses to fight other tanked defenses or lovely new players who can't compete with your real team. Plus just winning streaks will push you up a few leagues usually.

Bronze 1: 210/week premium, 10 arena
Gold 1: 360/week, 30 arena
So two full leagues up and you only get an extra 150 premium currency (1.5 summons) and 20 arena currency per week. If you can get to the top tier league the weekly amounts start to be pretty interesting but you also likely don't care nearly as much at that point. If you're somewhere in between those the amounts are more attractive but also take more time and effort to maintain your ranking than a lot of people want to put in for the worst part of the game gameplay wise.

It's 5 arena currency per win and I think 2 per loss? So it doesn't take many losses there to cost you the difference from the weekly amounts.

Also on the note of Arena Defense: make sure your team is as tanky as possible. From my experience, the damage you take while attacking as the rounds drag on from the time/arena hitting you is very hefty.

Yeah, in Pixel Starships rooms are disabled while there's an upgrade timer. It's frustrating so I have to plan which set of rooms I'm okay with not using. I know what you mean about a new set of tougher stages when you upgrade your ship. I initially have trouble and it forces me to change tactics

I never felt the need to spend money. The monthly subscription for 50% increased loot isn't necessary. Definitely want spacebux for 4* gacha pulls. The 5* rates for the same pull are extremely low. For the most part, I've slowly collected spacebux by trading up

Been playing AdVenture Communist. It's a good one of those games if you want to play one of those games! Seems like it's not totally finished yet because there's an icon with a spaceship on it that says "Coming soon" so who knows when that's coming but I've been enjoying watching the numbers go up. Also it's got this guy:

Can you add friends directly via username? Ezzy10 if you need another supporter Sez on your list.

Yeah, most rolls are viable, only reroll if you're an insane person who wants that best start. There only 5s I'd be nervous about are mages as they're the weakest class atm.

Didn't read up much but she looked like she was a good unit and is proving to be exactly that. Can take a lot of hits and her main swipe attack pretty much one shots things near her level or lower.

Grand Chase global is sitting in the preregister section - I played the non global release from apk but got locked out when it needed Play Store updates and enjoyed it a fair bit. On the off chance you're looking for a Gacha game but aren't feeling E7, I'd recommend it. (no idea when global will actually release though).

So one of the twitch people for this game said they just did a review video for an upcoming game that comes our Nov 30th that is a Final Fantasy / monster hunter hybrid. He can't put the video out until the 30th because of nda. He said it was amazing though. There's also another star trek gacha game coming out around the last week of November as well.
