GuiltyLove Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I got a Chrom and Lucina paired with my Catria vs Karel, Marth, and Inigo Catria pretty much beat all of them by herself xD I just had Chrom finish off Karel bc Catria took too much Fury damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Never thought I would run low on flags when only using them on multipliers. Only 1500 left...maybe save for tomorrow's multipliers? If my ranks hold, that's 6100 feathers at the end, which is a huge payday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting to put in 200 flags. It seems every time I looks Gaius has the multiplier going. 23 minutes ago, Othin said: who would do this Someone who wants to troll people with a gimped build? 6 minutes ago, Dark Holy Elf said: I'm definitely on the "current VG format is bad" train. All the multiplier really does is allow upsets to happen, and I don't see the point of that in a popularity contest. It also has an extremely annoying effect on the gameplay: I live in North America and the best multiplier times are when I'm asleep. Since we're sharing stories of questionable builds, I almost lost a VG match (one of the rare times I wasn't just cheesing it with a Level <30 unit) when I discovered that someone had replaced their Klein's Glacies with Glimmer, so he couldn't finish off some high-def unit with ~10 HP. Literally any other (non-Night Sky line) offensive limit would have been good enough. To be honest, other than people being sure the girl would win again, Corrin wasn't the obvious favorite like some other Gauntlets had been. I think the multiplier annoys more people than people grumbled about an obvious winner. They were at least popular enough to be favorites, so their supporters are at least happy. With the dumb upsets, more people are getting cheesed off by it than are benefiting from the mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcirrot Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, Ice Dragon said: There is more or less the same amount of complaining about the multiplier being dumb now as there was about the winner being already determined when the characters were announced being dumb back then. There was just less outrage back then because Gaius isn't somehow in the finals getting his ass curbstomped. It's true about the level of complaining, but there was a material difference, the game was fair. The game was originally conceived as a popularity competition contest. So I really never understood the whining about the most popular character winning. On the macro level, the game worked as it should. Now, it mostly does, but BS like the Leo v Gaius match is possible. On a micro (individual player) level the game is much worse. You're dependent on catching multiplier bonuses to have any hope of gaining a high score. You also have no control over how the other people supporting your team play. Thus, even if you know the proper strategy at any given moment, you have no meaningful way to affect the outcome of the game. Before the multiplier this wasn't an issue. At that time, only real strategy was to put up as many points as you could for your team. The multiplier was a terrible idea and made the whole game meaningless as anything other than some free feathers.

Sunwoo Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Trying to get my Sheena to 500 HM for some feathers, so I deployed her in the gauntlet. My allies are a Ryoma and Tharja. The team is facing off against Anna, Hector, and Effie. Armor emblem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time, only real strategy was to put up as many points as you could for your team. The multiplier was a terrible idea and made the whole game meaningless as anything other than some free feathers. My thoughts on this, whether anyone cares or not. First, the current multiplier system often actually disincentivizes play. The best strategy to help a team win is often just... don't play at all! Yep, reduce your contribution so that you might let your team hit the multiplier; or, reduce your contribution so that the opposing team won't hit the multiplier. That's often the best strategy. Second, the current system rewards those who are lucky enough to catch the multiplier, not those who play the game often with dedication. The ranking system is crazy! If you spend all day fighting for your character, but you miss the multiplier hours, you'll rank lower than someone who logged in ONCE and got the multiplier bonus by chance. It's not based on effort or participation, mostly just luck. Third, even as a popularity contest, it fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) I keep getting someone's Bride Cordelia and Fae. I wonder if it's Rezzy's Cordelia. xP Has anyone else on Corrin's side gotten my Summer Freddy? I hope all his debuffing helps! He can also survive Kagero's Poison Dagger, btw, so let him tank her if need be! I've been running into her a lot.

If the Fae is Lightning Breath+ and Moonbow, you're still getting my units. I've noticed that your friend unit doesn't vary as much as probably statistically expected. I wonder how which friend you get is chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a +4 Bridelia with Brave Bow+ Ardent Sacrifce, Luna, Fury, Desperation, Breath of Life, and +3 HP Squad Ace Seal, that one's mine.
