Tenzen12 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 50 minutes ago, Tybrosion said: My point in bringing that up was to show that there are multiple instances where their wording implies that the gauntlet is meant to be a popularity contest. If they want the gauntlet to be an actual competition, then they should just create more balanced match-ups instead of tweaking the mechanics of the event probably remove those instances of the phrase "most popular" to not leave the implication that they intend for the gauntlet to be a popularity contest and nothing else. Yes, they used bad wording when they said "most popular". Twice. And should remove it. I agree completely. it's not most terrible thing that could happen. IS couldl leave gauntlet same as before!

If that was the case, every MMA fighter is shameless exhibitionist. That's exactly my point!

Jedrus Lilac Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Just a couple of words of critisizm in regard to the 3x multiplier and the gauntlet mechanics in general The winners of the first two gauntlets (popularity contests) were clear even before the gauntlet started. This time the winner (I guess Robin wont get the multiplier in time to sway the outcome) has also been clear. The idea of including the 3x multiplier was meant to make things more exciting - and in a way it worked to some degree. However, the mechanics of the 3x multiplier are quite unfair. Here is why: Generally speaking the 3x multiplier appears more often at the beginning of the a given gauntlet. That means that Europe and Japan have the best chances to capitalize on the opportunity. The USA will have to stay up all night, - I guess thats not really cool to do that. If the popularity of a character is very high, less 3x multiplier opportunities occur and the winning team will have less opportunity to compete in the cumulative vote competition. Personally I dont like the battle every 30 minutes mechanic - I didnt care about it during the first gauntlets but this time I didnt wanna miss the opportunity to battle twice during 3x time - The battles are ridiculous - if you have lv. 40 5* friends on your list, and enter the game with a weak character (guess a 1*wrys would do the job :) ), you will face ridiculously easy battles - if you enter with a lv. 40 5* you may lose some battles, a you may end up with two units of the same color and battle against 3 units that have color advantage. Easy or hard - the rewards are the same. In the end I think the gauntlet has a lot to improve - personally I hope they will replace it with something different in the future.

Look, I apologize if my joke offended you or Tharja. Tell her I didn't mean it. 5 hours ago, BANRYU said: Hah NW dude we're all friends here, just some friendly ribbin'. Though TBQH the comment about 'mm delicious salt' was aimed more at Anacybele and the folks talkin' about how much they hate Tharja lol. It seemed a bit more provocational than friendly, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt. :P I've been away from this thread since the first round, only coming back yesterday night. I gotta say, things seem to have gotten quite a bit more...er, competitive since then. Not in the good way... Regardless of who wins, there is going to be an insane amount of smugness from the victors. I kind of wish it were possible for the gauntlet to end in a draw just to avoid that.

Sunwoo Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The only thing I really care about right now is how the fuck I'm going to get rid of 1200 flags before this gauntlet ends (and if we get a multiplier whether I'll be online for it or not). I mean, even if my first choice was eliminated round 1 I'm still having fun and trying to participate without trying to gloat or attack my opponent. But I am at times finding myself becoming legitimately angry over the actions of both factions here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenzify Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I love how every time I call it a night/go to bed there's a discussion on why people even like the popular character, and sweeping generalisations are made... :/ I know the discussion is long over, but can we perhaps not judge fans for liking a character, whatever the reason?

bethany81707 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I am going to keep my 2700 feather tier somehow, that's all I'm caring about. The 500 victory feathers would also be nice. Somehow, I'm fairly sure I'm still counting on this season's arena rewards to finish collecting 20000 and promoting Odin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that part of it is just competitive nature getting the best of people. But there are other instances that seem just too genuinely hostile, which can go and stay go because it's just going to get people angry at each other. Basically, I get the feeling that not a lot of people realize where the line is and not to cross it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I can't speak for everyone but my criticisms about Tharja are always about the character herself. I think there is an underlying assumption that if somebody is highly critical of something then they are also negatively judging people who do like the thing they are criticizing. It's especially easy for this to happen through text, where it's more difficult to infer a person's tone. I'm sure a lot of Tharja's detractors would admit to not actively hating her fanbase, myself included. ...'Course, I haven't forgotten about that one guy early on in the thread who immediately called Tharja fans creepy weaboos the moment the topic came up. Now those guys can absolutely go suck a thornberry. Edited May 17, 2017 by Taxon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
