Lushen Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Any news on GHBs? I feel like if we were going to get a new one this week, we'd of heard about it by now. C'mon IS make up for Tobin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon IS make up for Tobin. The regular GHB schedule suggests the next GHB should be about two weeks after Clarisse, so if it does come on schedule, it should be in about four days. That's also right around when the mid-month banner change normally happens, so if we're getting a second July banner to overlap with the second half of the Summer banner rather than the schedule going completely off the rails, it should be around then as well. In both cases, we'd need an update in the next couple of days, so we'll have to see if that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Branniglenn Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 We may see a re-run as the next GHB. Since that's what was supposed to be next before the Bound Hero Battle took its place. But yeah, if there's another July banner of new characters around the corner, the odds of seeing a new GHB instead of a re-run will skyrocket.

I liked the theme GHBs we had last time where we got Clarisse and Legion with the banner which were all from the same game. I hope they continue to do things like that and release them in small batches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunwoo Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I'm getting so much HM from Tempest Trials, and I think at this point that's my main use for Tempest -- to get my characters to max out HM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get the sneaking suspicion it could be the CYL banner or something, with all these orbs dropping on us suddenly. Would be like blindsiding us with the Hero Fest banner right after Ike's. But I hope I'm totally wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine basically was just like "Mhm. Yep." when I mentioned it. Or, maybe if I actually put 1 plus 1 together between when I said "any banner with Hector on it would be seen as a blatant money grab" and the fact that Golden Week is basically money grab season (along with Christmas).

I thought CYL was coming in summer/late summer? The orb dump still got me suspicious it might come earlier. For Hero Fest, while I'm familiar with gacha games, I guess I just didn't really think about it since it's Nintendo. I still didn't really know what to expect for how close to other gachas or not they'd go back then. Also since I'm not playing any other gacha right now Golden Week kinda slipped my mind as being a thing. Edit: Man I really need to stop writing "gatcha" instead of gacha by accident.

Sunwoo Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) I need more 5-star green and colorless units, but my second best offensive colorless unit is a -atk Klein and I'm holding out onto hope that I'll get one that isn't -atk. My best option is to promote a green unit next, and I've got two of them ready to go. Only question is ... should I promote Boey or Merric first? Both are +spd -HP and I am going to use both eventually, but which one should I promote first? Also, Merric is merged so he will cost me less feathers to promote.

I could see CYL being the next banner. Thankfully as long as none of the costumes are overly amazing I won't pull on it. Though, at the very least it would need to be after the summer banner is over so it would be the next next banner if one comes out this week. How often do these Japanesse gacha games do hero fest related events? Is it just a golden week thing or should we expect to see more this year? edit: And I'm pretty sure quests require an actual update through the playstore. If this is correct, then shouldn't we have had an update this morning? I thought they try to update on mondays, why would they wait till Tuesday? Maybe they're trying to hide something they know will get datamined. Edited July 11, 2017 by Lushen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure anyone actually put 2 and 2 together for this, probably because it's Nintendo and not a smaller developer and publisher. For me, at least, it was mostly that I wasn't expecting a blatant money grab out of Nintendo. 8 minutes ago, Lushen said: I could see CYL being the next banner.

"Blatant money grab of the highest order", though, is mostly Golden Week and Christmas, I think, since Japanese players have buttloads of time and money to spend during those times.

I think it will be august or later, but I could see them saying end of summer means end of the ingame summer season. I doubt it, but I wouldn't be too suprised. Interesting, I didn't think the Japanesse were too big with Christmas, given the demographics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not earlier, it's gotta be September at the latest, since I doubt they'd cross it over the obvious Halloween costume banner that will surely come in October. Similarly I keep expecting it to come earlier for some reason. Is there anything else summer-related that could come soon? Again, this orb influx just seems surprising. They sure love their KFC come Christmas I'll tell you that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It better not be Fates if they did, since Nintendo would royally fuck my wallet up with a summer Camilla or something. With the big orb dump and the Ylisse banner being a month long something does feel odd, but it might be not odd enough to get any solid ideas what they could be up to, if anything.

If they go that route, my hope is that we get a second July banner in the next few days, overlapping with the second half of the first summer banner, then when the two of them expire at the end of the month, we repeat the pattern for August. (Second summer banner for all of August, regular banner for second half of August.) But there's no way to tell yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
