Othin Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It's an interesting mode, but I've found it hard to tell which areas it's more constructive to fight in. I guess closely contested ones, or ones close to a knockout? 1 hour ago, Anacybele said: Hasn't stopped the voting gauntlet from letting you choose a team though. Seeing how the teams turned out in Voting Gauntlet is probably exactly why they went with random assignment this time. That's one of many ways this mode seems to be aiming to fix areas of Voting Gauntlets people have complained about. 50 minutes ago, Anacybele said: No surprise to me, really.

If they were asking for feedback on it, it suggests they hadn't even decided whether or not to make it, which means it must be several months off at best. I'm sure Rival Domains and Grand Conquests were well underway by the time of that survey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korath88 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 My main issue is that the rival domains mode has barely any strategy involved. What's the point of playing a mode made for autobattle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't care for how it's practically Rival Domains, and how you can't do anything about being in a bad group. If people enjoy it, cool, but as a new mode of course people will get their opinions about it out there, whether it's good or bad.

Yeah, maybe it would take more time to finish that mode then, especially if they want to perfect it and make sure all the kinks are out and all.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Grand Conquest reminds me of a three player game of Risk. Somebody's gotta get ganged up on by the other two players if the game is gonna end reasonably quickly. I know the feeling. I clearly don't understand how I'm supposed to play this mode, but based on my limited experience, it's kind of okay? More engaging than Voting Gauntlet. More interesting to grind than completing your dailies in Tap Battle. And of course no mode is going to top Tempest Trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lushen Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Did anyone else notice that Sharena has an unfair advantage w/ the territories? The space directly north to her and the space east of that are the only 2 ways to enter Sharena's kingdom. It's like Australia w/ Risk where there are only two territories she has to defend. Of course that isn't stopping the Alfonse empire team Alfonse has going on right now, but still. I feel like Anna should be linked to the space south of her.  But yes, team Anna is going to be dead next round. Only one territory. It's kind of upsetting that the team with the most territories is going to take like all the feathers and the losers will get nothing. But due to instances, I feel like I actually have a hand in stopping that.

Nightmayre Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I love this mode. My problems with this mode are actually Rival Domains-related issues, not Grand Conquest-related issues (imbalance of TP+attack, maps skewed heavily over certain unit types, senselessness of infinite reinforcements, stupidly high effectiveness of facewalling etc). However I love the Risk-like elements. So far it seems I've been blessed with a rather good team (although people keep making the mistake of investing in areas that face both enemies at once, which is a bad idea) and we're 2 lands ahead, but it's still too early to tell. I generally go only for Lunatic (never gonna try Infernal in this hell mode). At this point I'm really unsure why people are saying saving the recharges is a good idea. More stamina spent early -> higher GC tier -> higher influence -> faster consolidation of nearby areas with each battle -> much less chance for the opponent to be able to do anything late game. If it wasn't for the influence mechanic, it wouldn't matter much and it might be a preferable strategy to burn recharges later on in order to capture key areas, but as it is...

It also looks like I missed a round already since it says round 2 out of 22 which isn't a really big deal, but still kinda stinks. I'm pretty sure each "round" is one round of calculations for who takes or defends each area. Missing a round doesn't matter as long as you don't waste your stamina.  1 hour ago, Anacybele said: Hasn't stopped the voting gauntlet from letting you choose a team though. That's because the two game modes have different focuses. The focus of Grand Conquest is the capturing of map nodes for your team and not who the team leaders are. The mode should play no differently if the team leaders are Alfonse, Sharena, and Anna than how it plays if they were Stahl, Odin, and Bartre. The focus of Voting Gauntlets is the ability to support a team leader to progress to the next round. A match between Alfonse and Odin can and should play out differently than a match between Alfonse and Ike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rather annoyed that the maximum you can get is 10. And most 2/3 of the teams will probably get <5. And we get arena coins which are fairly worthless. Really the only good reward is feathers and only if you're in the top 2. But considering I made 22k feathers grinding HM last night I'm not sure this mode is worth it. But it is at least fun, I think.

I have no clue what I'm doing, but I'm just throwing people at the things and hoping I'll accrue enough points to get all the prizes. Don't think I'll manage it, though, since I don't want to play Infernal, so am sticking with Lunatic, and I never seem to be able to finish a map off (I just hold the most forts). I feel like this mode would be more fun for me if it was more like arena battles (team of 4 vs team of 4) rather than the mindless rival domain battles.

AndrewMcC00l Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 For the first round I was number one in one of the territories until at least 8 am EST since that was the last time I checked. so that was nice. I already have some problems with Rival Domains, and not seeing any of them fixed while having to face off against super powerful units isn't the most fun thing. Still, I absolutely need more orbs, as I've been pity broken a second time trying to get Nanna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelaar Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) I'm really enjoying this gamemode so far! The rewards sure are nice too, so bonus! I'm on team Alfonse. I agree it would be more fun if it was 4v4 battles though, where you could just use your team's/friend's units or something.

I didn't think they were distributing any of the Sacred Coins yet, just at the end of each 44-hour campaign. When they do, it looks like even teams with just one area (the HQ, probably) still get one Sacred Coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably so that there wouldn’t be too much salt over the results as Grand Conquests does involve a degree of RNG (seemingly random team assignments to players). Whereas in VG, you’re guaranteed 135 coins if you actually bothered to do the quests and in TT, you’re guaranteed 80 coins if you put the time in to grind.

I'm waiting for the flier emblem/horse emblem bonuses. My best infantry units are glass cannons and don't fare so well in these 10-unit battles.
