Sunwoo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 7 minutes ago, DehNutCase said: But the newer character v. older character popularity numbers might be because IS is assuming that the people who like older characters are more likely to vote than the people who got in around Awakening+ (since older fans are more 'hard-core,' so more likely to actually care about popularity polls), so they compensate for that by treating newer games as more 'popular' even if the polls don't show it. I don't understand this logic at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming all they want to do is make money all they have to do is compare orbs bought during certain banners and they'd get a good idea of the 'buying power popularity' of X character. (You'd have to do some statistics to eke out the individual numbers, but the most popular characters have been on tons of banners so they should have lots of data points.) Mind, it's a short-sighted view (since it ignores the possibility of player-base growth/stagnation due to just cramming the most 'buying power popular' characters into every banner), but if all you're planning for a game is to milk as much money as you can from it in a short amount of time the strategy makes a lot of sense.

Maybe, but this also overlooks the possibility of people pulling for a certain character because of their niche or strength. This becomes harder to separate if they keep on giving popular characters the best stats, the most premium skills, rare and desired classes, etc., since people who just want a certain unit because it's strong or has fodder they want would've pulled for any character with that fodder or those stats/class.

DehNutCase Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) This week's GM Tactics Drill is actually bullshit. WoM & Swap is already complicated enough in terms of the sheer amount of options, and you actually use Future Visions instead, which is like 5x more complicated than just swap. And on top of all that, you needed to know dead units don't trigger smoke. (The tip is also pretty much completely worthless, the whole map is a bunch of trial and error with no obvious 'right move' at any step of the way.) Edit: Oh and let's not fucking forget that you have to use Threaten Atk to clear, THREATEN FUCKING ATTACK.

Sylphid Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 This time's Grand Conquest is by far the most one-sided slog I've seen yet. Team Ephraim went heavily in from the start to take a bunch of areas and has been getting full 3 area points every round except the very first one. Meanwhile here's me trying to get as much of the tier rewards as I can with fliers (and horses when they were boosted) because doing this mode with armors is way too bothersome.

silverserpent Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Excellent. At 40k feathers now so I can get Naesala to +4...after he's available in the grail shop. And Narcien's Abyssal is another mark on the Boys' FEH Tour. Edited January 21, 2019 by silverserpent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenovia Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The game has been out for roughly two years. Currently there are six versions of Camilla, so it could be said a new one comes out every 4 months or so. Based on that, by 2026 there should be enough Camilla alts to clear Arena Assault using exclusively them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of turn 2 Hawkeye needs to have his special ready. (Turn one should be pretty obvious from there---if you want me to be more specific I can be.)

Other than the Black Knight, Naesala is the only grails unit I'm really interesting in merging right now. I think he'll get at least one rerun and should also appear in a yearly rotating quest (if they repeat that from last year), so we should be able to reach +4 easily even without grails. I like Winter Cecilia, and some of the other armors too, but probably won't spend grails to merge them. (If they introduce a Black Knight helmet accessory, I might merge Zelgius instead though because his stats are better.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander's useful for my immediate f2p clears, but Naesala's on my "main" team. Of which will include a +1 NY!Hríd, +1 Tibarn, +0 Reyson (unless he demotes, then I will +10 him soon as i get the copies), and Naesala's +whatever I can merge him to once the February update goes live. Haven't done the merges yet because i want to physically see Tibarn's Atk bane get fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexBolt Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'm so bored with GQ i don't think i will reach rank 25. I also still need to do the Three Heroes quests and this months Training Tower orbs. Basically i'm not feeling like doing any grinding right now and am starting ro get bored by Heroes gamemodes.

silverserpent Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Oh wow...these boys are broken together ? switched out Swap for Reposition on Naesala and Navarre's Abyssal map just fell apart! I had yet to clear the Abyssals on my prior account and yet these guys are making it seem easy. I actually can't wait for the next Mythic/Legendary banner just so I can run these guys against them. Tibarn has a new pal to carry around on his head ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garlyle Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The game is such a rollercoaster right now. Sunday silhouette caught our interest, then Monday trailer demolished it. And today it's new AR season and CYL3 - I'm not here to pick the top 4, I'm just here to put someone on the radar for IntSys and Nintendo (go FE6 Gale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javi Blizz Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) I'm starting to feel CYL like: -People: We don't want more alts in the game! We want X character who's still missing! + A wild CYL 3 appears -Same people: C'mon guys, let's vote Nino/Micaiah/Reinhardt/Whoever has only 1 alt. There are 6 Camillas, so who cares about the characters that we have been saying for a year that we want in the game? Or characters without alts (only Alm has a real chance here)? Let's vote them! This is not me complaining about who could win, because I literally don't care who does. I just hope not to see the same people then complaining every time there's a new seasonal banner or when characters get more than one alt or when their favourites get neglected in the scarce New Heroes banners.
