Support NeoGAF

[dakkumauji]

thinking i'll probably skip this event after i get through with its story

i don't partially care for an earth katana
and don't need an earth summon

hopefully they announce magfes so i have something to do!

 

[dennism]

I made the mistake of quitting GBF and trying other gacha games. GBF is just so much better than the other ones :\ Maybe I'll return.

it's one of the best for a reason, it just does alot of things better than every other gacha games out there.

 

[commish]

Isn't this like the 3rd time you would come back?

Nope, I've never actually returned from quitting the first time. I only quit because of the daily time commitment the game requires. Sigh, I guess I don't need to do Casino EVERY day....

 

[garath]

I usually just take a chance once I reach a skill level rise success chance of 50%. Too many wasted items once you get pass 75% success IMO. Also event and some of the omegas give out SR weapons left and right that you can just take chances like that.

After skill level 7 on bahamut weapon I go for 100%. SSR weapons arent easy to come across.

This.. sounds interesting.

I personally go for 100% always. In the long run maybe you come out ahead with a >50% strategy if you incorporate it at low skill level gains but when you're using 10+ SR weapons for a skill up and fail, you are costing yourself a big chunk of time compared to just using the 14 initially.

Subjective I guess. I just look at it as a fixed cost for skilling up weapons. I haven't lost a single one to a failure.

But each to their own!

As long as you don't go OVER 100%, on average you'll end up the same regardless of what chance you decide to go with. 50% is going to be the most variable, so it's possible to get more swings in your favor, but it's also just as possible to get as many against.

The only thing you shouldn't do (statistically) is go above 100%.* If you're stuck at 95% or whatever and everything will push you past 100%, just go for the 95%. Yes, failing that means those weapons are wasted, but even if you succeed at >100% you've wasted weapon points regardless.

Of course, if you're just using an extra R weapon it's not a big deal if you really want that insurance. I'm just saying that on average you'll end up using more fodder overall.

* The exception to this is when using skilled up SSRs, since they essentially give you "free" points at skill level 2 or higher, so it's okay to go past 100% with those.

 

[Cloudius12]

That feel when you have 95% Skill level Up and it fails...Never again.

 

[demidar]

Yeah, got burned losing a 97% chance.

 

[Mr. Bubble]

I learned long ago from FFXIV that you can't trust 99% success rate.

 

[Uthred]

Gave in to temptation and did another 10 pull, literally all junk, no moons and the one SR was a summon. Should have stayed firm. Lesson learned (again as it is basically every LF )

 

[frozencool]

Are y'all ready for some

The result of 4 pulls: one free, one beginners (haven't used the ticket) and two paid.

I'm pretty sure this is gloriously shitty ;-;

But yeah, with all this here any recommendations on the best use of my ticket? I know the game nudges you towards having a full team for each element but with only one fire SSR and no SSR summons I'm sort of unsure what to do.

Oh yes and to answer a previous question I joined abouts april/may for what it's worth in my available characters to select.

 

[Hemlock Study]

I... I need the gloriously majestic watermelon mecha...
Hopefully the drawboxes this time around don't have the pull % of the GW weapons...

edit: they do

Also, looking for your own trophies in the list of trophies is a right pain.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Yeah, got burned losing a 97% chance.

Yeah thats the only reason why I go 100% for baha weapon.

Though Ive had success at just 13%.

 

[Falk]

I fed my MLB grass musket to my Bahamut Sword at 5% chance as a gag and it succeeded.

Apologies up front for the newb questions, but would it worthwhile/enjoyable to start this game now? Or would I be so far behind everything to the point of frustration? Looks like the game got an "international" release this spring, but still makes you jump through hoops in Japanese just to get registered? Checking out the Chrome App process now, but it doesn't look possible to play on mobile in English?

Once you select english, its english on browser, chrome app, and mobile.

Also you can start now and with a month of playing have a decent enough build to have fun. Also you only get further behind by not starting. There are people over rank 120 and beyond. I imagine most players are in rank 30 - 80's

There are still good amounts of people just starting (sub rank 20's)

There was never any chance any of us English players could catch up to the top players anyway. And Granblue isn't really about being at the top - unlike most other games in its vein, it offers a lot of palpable fun in the form of its anime-style characters, events and quests.

It's not just about being super powerful - at least not for me. I have a lot of fun just doing Free quests and going through every event's side story.

Join us, bro! If you're into gacha games, there's no better game to play.

 

[comicmonkey]

I really thought hard about spending my last 3000 crystals for a 10 draw, because everyone many seem so disappointed with their results. Anyway, summer Narumaya was too tempting so I tried my luck. Although I did not get her I am still happy with the result:

SSR
Jeanne d'Arc (Dark Version)

SR
Mishra
Feather

R
Zehek

 

[Li Kao]

Random drop from the event raid...

I'm ok with that !

Its a pure PvE game. You play on your pace.

 

[Falk]

I'm not even sure what (summer) JJ is supposed to do.

His skill descriptions and the descriptions of the buffs make no sense compared to each other.

 

[Pics_nao]

Started doing omega raids

Holy fuck I will never get lucky and get a drop from these. Can't even join random ones because they always end up dying before the game loads. Fuck

 

[Ultimadrago]

I can't stress this enough. I've liked the game much better since leaving it alone when I'm not in the mood and coming back later rather than 100% obligation.

 

[Lostconfused]

Your mind games trying to trick me into pulling for the swimsuit version wont work! I am on to your scheme!

 

[demidar]

It looks like he essentially has 3 toggle-able auras and using a skill switches the aura effects.

Sounds like youre doing it wrong. I only join ones at 75% or higher or lower if luminiers (since people just wait for a mode breaker to come). Also join when theres less than five people.

1/2 the cost to join raids soon is going to be intense.

I'd try and join with less than 5 people but by the time it actually loads there are suddenly 17 people in the room and the moment I try to scratch the boss it's already dead.

 

[Chaos17]

Don't know if I'm gonna do the event or not.

 

[TheBryanJZX90]

Make sure if you haven't already to increase the battle speed, turn on short summon animations, and turn off the request for backup prompt. Take away as many barriers as possible between you and the attack button. If you're just now starting the omega raids you're not going to be able to get more than a hit or two anyway.

 

[Hemlock Study]

After lurking in the Persona 5 thread I'm sort of shivering at the possibilities of a Persona tie-in event. Loyalty SR character (P3/P4/P5 MC?), Event Persona Summon... Persona-style UI during battles and with a special summon cut-in for MC, a special battle track... *salivate*

keep. on. dreaming. although hey, if a fighting game, as esteemed as it is, can make the cut, surely another RPG can.

 

[kayos90]

Just got a Celeste harp. Worth or fodder?

 

[Falk]

That's what the description says.

When you actually use him, using the skills results in a buff that says it does both.

The collabs have special UI during battles ?

 

[Hemlock Study]

The collabs have special UI during battles ?

I suppose this was a bit of an exaggeration. I was referring to the fact that during Granblue Fighter (SF colab event), they tweaked some things about the UI for example, reproducing the travelling from stage to stage of Street Fighter games when moving from level to level in the event battles.

 

[Lostconfused]

Yeah SFV collab even had the survival mode gimmick. Where you picked buffs/bonuses every time you clear a stage.

TBH it was better than the survival mode in SFV it self.

 

[Hemlock Study]

It's true however that calling it "UI alteration" was too much, in actual battles the interface didn't change at all. They did license SF music for battles though. And the MC could switch outfits with the SSR Chun-Li/Ryū weapon.
I don't mind being called out for it but I'd love to do some raid battles to Mass Destruction or Reach Out To The Truth, hirarious engrish and all.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Do people really want Chie though After not giving my Asbel as loyalty I have no faith theyd give any character I like an inclusion in any collab.

 

[Quonny]

I did it. I got summer loli.

I won the game.

Edit: wtf daily ticket got me Athelia

Full Wind, Earth, and Light team now. Just need the weapons...

 

[Hemlock Study]

Since there's no way I'm pulling again after the disappointment my last 3k GC pull was, I must believe in the daily ticket. I must believe... in Summer Narumeya. (as. if.)

Do people really want Chie though After not giving my Asbel as loyalty I have no faith theyd give any character I like an inclusion in any collab.

I'm probably just easy but there isn't one particular cast member from P3/P4 I REALLY disliked. Maybe I'd raise an eyebrow if we got Ken or Shinjiro. I would count on Cygames to put in Elisabeth or Margaret as a draw exclusive SSR character though.
Or worse... a raid boss *shudder* Hi Megidolaon Bye

New SSR summon: Igōru.
That would really push my gacha resistance.

 

[Velinos]

Did five 10-pulls and about 15 premium tickets and this is what I now have for SSR's:

Fire: Aoidos
Water: Charlotta, Yoda, and Katalina (Limited)
Wind: Nezahualpilli
Light: Sarunan, De La Fille (not summer)
Dark: Sarunan (dark)

Looks like I now have a water team. At rank 48, should I be focusing on a single element? Or is it better to just farm whatever omegas I can for now?

 

[MicH]

That's an amazing water team. Yoda will literally carry you for a long time. SSR Katalina is one of the best water characters too.

It's best to focus on one element, but for you have the time and AP feel free to try the other Omegas

 

[dakkumauji]

focus on one element and then expand out

don't be like me and focus on everything and only have 'decent' parties but nothing outstanding

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Id say focus on two elements since you'll have to have a good team to go against the bosses of your main teams weakness so I main light but I have a growing good dark team.

 

[Victrix]

How are you guys playing this in english? There's nothing in the OP about how to do it other than the release date in the title.

[dakkumauji]

I got an Anbius summon today

i think a gold moon would have been better

 

[demidar]

I've done about 40 rolls now and I still haven't gotten an SSR.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Got R Feather from Rupie draw. I keep getting the lesser versions of characters I already own...

SSR Feather when?
