Whats Shironeko?

9af.jpg

Shironeko (lit. “White Cat”), also known as “Basket Cat” (Japanese: かご猫, Kagoneko), is a Turkish van cat called “Shiro” (シロ), which is best known for his extremely relaxed demeanor and ability to balance things on his head.

Tho I dont know what it has to do with mobages o_O.
 
Whats Shironeko?

It's a mobile game, kinda looks like Diablo. The western version is called Rune Story which we discussed on the first page of this thread. I think most of us got bored after a while. It also didn't help that they made a lot of bad changes in the global version.

The Japanese version is supposedly a lot better, that one is called Shironeko.


Last time I checked this is the logo of the app, in Qooapp at least. You can give it a try if you want to. It's kinda fun.

Just wondering but how many mobage are you all playing? I'm playing Shironeko, Granblue and KanColle but they really take so much of my time. I don't have time to play my PS4 any more
Outside of the popular ones:

SanSma because the art is divine and I wanted to play something like Monster Strike; the pull rates are abysmal compared to other games.

and Drift Girls

I guess there's cars in this game? I see this shutting down in Global since there are fewer than 1000 players and the game is too f2p friendly.

A new game to try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xten.ivext.df

Monster Avenue, developed by Korean studio IVEXT and published by XTEN Games, recently launched globally on Google Play. First launched in South Korea last year, Monster Avenue has been receiving attention due to its unique gameplay of combining board game and CCG genres. Also, Monster Avenue has vertical screen layout that differentiate itself from other board-based mobile games.

EDIT: trash. don't even try it. Played for 2 hours and hated everything.

I wonder what is the best way to get dragon scales?

40 ap element daily if you can enter or the dragon scale daily. You also get some from doing the elements respective magna.

You can also buy some with the points you get from doing co-op missions.

Damnit. I really screwed up. I had 2.6mil coins from Bingo, and I decided to try the 100k bingo. Was doing well for a while, but then I started going below 2mil. And I decided to quit when I'd get back above 2mil, but I never did.

So now I'm way back to where I began before I started Bingo.

PS: This Stage 28 boss sucks, he heals himself all the way up again. Bleh.

Don't feel too bad, I did the exact same thing. It sucks a lot, but now I'm up to 10mil (though thanks to a super bingo). I don't believe in 'lucky streaks' or 'unlucky streaks', but I do think it's better to only play like 3-5 games in a sitting or you'll go crazy.

Haha I'm still waiting for that super bingo! I had super reach twice now, obviously that last one is the trickiest.

Is Anat the highest reward available in the Casino, how much does he/she cost?
 

Yaari

Oh man. I miscounted a 7. Sigh.
Yeah. That's going to take a while.. haha.
Even with the 7mil, you still running the 5man Bingo?
 

Yaari

Absolutely not, 20man max bet all the time.

Ah, okay. Just making sure.
What bothered me the most about 20man was that there's just such a high chance of someone taking that first prize, and then the 500k reward isn't all that exciting anymore, when it takes so much money to enter.

Is it tough to earn co-op points? Havent tried co-op at all yet as I wasnt sure how much of an issue the language barrier would be

EZ. You host coop room. Write something like N1 (N - normal) or N3-4,5-6,6-6 or H3-4 (H - hard) or 4戦 (4 random battles). You'll get full room instantly. Just host what you wanted. Also you can join rooms. I usually host specific quests like to clear specific stage. And then join random blue (everything) or green (daily) rooms.

There are daily quests. You can see them if you press on "Mission".

I'm just playing Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius, the japanese version. They've been quite generous with summon tickets (handing out like 20 tickets for NYE and now if all goals are accomplished getting 12+5 tickets for vday). New content updates have been regular enough too, usually dropping new character batches twice a month and new maps/story stuff once a month along with various other events.

Been really enjoying it.

One more Granblue question. When I'm doing raids I am getting points or something. I have no idea what they are called and what they are for, they arent mentioned in the guide either.

Anyone? I got like 994 now. I'm guessing it s not a lot. Haha.

Those help designate MVP (you get an extra red box), and I would imagine also calculate how much xp you get depending on your percentage vs. others in the raid.

Really confused on what you're asking.

If you're talking about the points you get inside the fight itself, those are just to see how much you've contributed to the fight. As long as you got something more then zero, you get credit for the kill and if you want to MVP you need to top the list.

If you're talking about the silver pentagon, that's used in the shop to buy some stuff from Mangas, like weapons or other mats.

I do recognize those, but I mean the post-raid stats, something you get more points for using SR's, theres also an icon of them in the raid logo's. Although not the one I found on the internet, but just as an example what I mean.

So when you start the raid, the little silver logo is on the bottom left.

Ah yeah, thats the one. Sorry for being a so vague about it. I have no idea what the currency is called.

Yeah, just go to the shop and click the banner, it'll take you to the place.

Also, what isn't super common knowledge is that you can get bonus points by having R characters in your party.

Also units will improve their 3d armor when level up.

All characters changes look at +1 and +2 (more 3D armor parts added), while changing the back item (cloak, wings) and weapons will be reflected on the 3D characters as well. Of course, job advancing will also change 3D and 2D looks

Btw the score is from Hitoshi Sakimoto's Basiscape studio. Known for Games like FF Tactics Advance, Odins Sphere, FF XII, Tekken 6, Valkyra Chronicles, Dragons Crown, Tactics Ogre: Let us cling together (great game...for me a must play game).

They also released an alpha trailer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjmRdS1GVFk&index=2&list=PLONpiF6lic6bD9_3NEpGzjyO_xFrYvFM9

but they alreay created a new lunch trailer which will be released soon.

Green River isn't too useful past his guaranteed DA and Slow ability (damage cap too low to take advantage of his 10x ability dmg skill), but yeah The Order is def up there, congrats. Enjoy trying to collect 5+ maxed Unknown weapons from every event here on out.

I don't play it anymore (after what Gumi did to Chain Chronicle, I won't be playing another one of their games ever again), but I'm honestly surprised that their POTK is still in soft-launch. It kind of makes you wonder whether they're going to release the game at all, with For Whom the Alchemist looking so much better. They might just throw an event or two, maybe release a few more characters to try to get some $$$ out of their players, and then close the game before it even releases fully. Given their past track record, it wouldn't surprise me.

Yes, I'm still upset over the loss of CC.

Is there a story behind his name? I've heard people refer to him as Albel.
 
with For Whom the Alchemist looking so much better.
The actual gameplay is incredible, but was infested with bugs and very poor network support at launch. I think it doomed itself because of these issues, since it's doing pretty poorly right now.
Also, co-op requires Line or local (bluetooth). I'm not fond of this.

I still got pretty far in the story though before uninstall.

That's too bad. It's always sad to see a game potentially fail due to those kinds of things. :/
