In a time of war and uncertainty, when refugees are everywhere and famine stalks the land, clearly the only way forward is to build a lavish, multi-storey casino and entertainment facility. This is why Ul'dah is the greatest. You pirates and you tree-huggers, what ya'll got?!?

Triple Triad is fun but weighted down with so much bullshit from crap drops to limiting player but letting NPC spam high cards it kind of kills enjoyment.

Chocobo Racing is legit fun apart from the OP thorns (that first battle for pick ups on Tranquil Paths people leave with 50% stamina left) and is blast with a party

The NPCs for Triple Triad seem easily exploitable, the AI isn't that good.
The only thing I don't like about Chocobo racing is that the controls seem unresponsive. Like there is a lag between letting off the accelerator and the bird slowing and when you want to go left/right. Other than that it's really cool.
 
Well I'm off work but gotta watch Agent Carter first. I'm a queue for two dungeons though for Zodiac then I'll try out chocobo racing.

Also I see that the Heartless staff comes from turn 7. I'm still rocking it though.

The pirates got the Wolf's Den and essentially the PVP section of the game with Frontlines.
The tree huggers aint got squat... YET.
 
Finally got a nice 3 star rarity card. "You can't use this deck in match play because it has too many rare cards".
...but the opponents I'm facing are regularly stacked with rare cards.
Is there a way to increase the limit of rare cards in a deck or is it just some bullshit restriction we have to deal with forever?

The number of rare cards to use goes up with how many cards you own. It is in the patch notes I believe.
 
I think I'll like Triple Triad more once I stop getting wrecked so much in matches. At least it seems like a good time waster. The map is really hard on my eyes though...><

30 means you can have unlimited 2stars, 1 3+, 60 means unlimited 3 and 1 4+. Really dumb limitation, one of the few frustrating things about the game. Getting a bunch of cards you can't makes it feel like you are collecting cards for the sake of collecting cards, instead of actually enjoying the minigame. Maybe it'd make more sense if there were a ton more low ranked cards.

Anyway, did final coil tonight, was good day. Sad about no one in group got a Louisoix from T12 or Bahamut from T13, those seem like they'd make the most sense.

The should just have the limitation for NPC's, to help with the AI by letting it "cheat" basically and let players set their own limits for PvP matches (so new folk dont get smoked by hardcore collectors - though certain rules help alleviate that)

Is there a Twintania or Nael card?

There is neither

My friend Halley made this up I thought it was funny.

A little bit of Relic in my life
A little bit of Zenith by my side
A little bit of Atma is all I need
A little bit of Animus is what I see
A little bit of Novus in the sun
A little bit of Nexus all night long
A little bit of Zodiac here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man

Mini Cactpot doesn't always have a 6 because numbers are random but it seems to be fairly easy to spot when there's one? I've seen some people on reddit with sixes.

I got a 6 on my first one then got one without a 6 and the lowest total was a 7 so that was lame.
 
I am trying to do this Dressed to Call quest and this asshole won't move on even though I have gear above level 5 on all the slots specified. Any way to tell what this asshole's problem is? I only have like 900 gold so I can't really just keep buying shit.

If I remember correctly, the most common issue is if you have a robe with a hood(like one item that covers both), that doesn't work, you need a chest and a helm.

I got it figured out. It was cause I dared to have the gall to equip the helmet I got from the Collector's Edition (Level 11 item) :/

OF is crying bitch tears because they can't instantly get all the TT cards.
Jesus.
Getting cards is fine time wise I think, at least from the NPCs. I don't know what the dungeon drops are like yet, if the % drop is similar to beating npcs then it's too much but too early to tell.

Far bigger issue is just how crazy expensive some of the MGP rewards are, the payouts are a joke compared to the prices. It doesn't seem well balanced at all. They need to, at the very least, massively buff how much MGP you get for turning in double cards. 1 star is 5, 2 star is 10, 3 star 50, haven't seen 4/6 yet but 5 is only 600. Considering how long it can take to get some of the cards the rate just doesn't make any sense, and it only adds a sense of frustration.

A lot of the cards have multiple drop methods. Titan/Leviathan can be obtained from npcs as well as killing them for example.

You didn't need to blur out my name.

Do NPC only drop one card?
Most of them two, often a common/rare drop split. A couple have three. There are some duplicates across NPCs though.

Did absolutely nothing today. Cards and racing is all I do now. I can stop anytime. I swear.

Won the mini jackpot too. Gave like 4 achievements

To all you insane Zeta farmers, hats off to you.

I'll just wait for my T13 Axe XD

I stopped at Animus, i can't do it.. Just takes to much of my time which I don't have.

I hope they will make the steps smaller soon so i can catch up for some glamour.
