Wouldn't it be great if every match ended up being an upset? ...and by "great", I of course mean "proof beyond all doubt that the multiplier system breaks the gauntlets". EDIT: <sigh> Looks like Fae's on track to win it, unless everyone on that team suddenly runs out of flags. Maybe instead of "Voting Gauntlet", they should rename these events "If You're a Popular FE7 Character, Don't Even Bother" My only hope now is that somehow Sophia pulls off an upset, so that at least I can have SOMEONE to support in the semi-finals. -_-;; Ninian just needs to spend flags!

Korath88 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Honestly, VG is probably the worst feature of this game. I wish they'd just replace it already rather than continue to make the system worse with every change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thany Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) We keep our bonus! Go go go! spend those flags! Edit: Im a dummy, it rounds down. dont spend flags yet. Edited October 11, 2017 by Thany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Go Fae. :D Ninian sucks, imo. Young Tiki is on pace to win too if she can keep staying ahead of all these freaking male Corrin multipliers. But if she were to lose, I'll go to Team Fae (if she really does win).

Korath88 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Team Ninian, DO NOT spend flags in this hour. Let Fae overshoot so they won't get the final multiplier. That is the only way we can win now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaid Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Sophia is basically about to be executed now that Corrin has a second to last hour multiplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fae does not have a multiplier in the final hour, Ninian so far outnumbers Fae that she will pull back ahead easily. I'm still against the multiplier on principle, but I'm jaded at this point I just don't care anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageOfAnys Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Honestly if Ninian loses to the multiplier, I'm just doing VG for feathers at this point. Elise nearly lost to it, Leo got screwed over, Ike v. Lyn never got to happen... the multiplier has just been getting worse and worse for me. Not to mention if Ninian loses I'm only leaving this round with 500 feathers because I didn't have the chance to play during ANY multiplier we had. That's just rubbing salt in the wound at this point. And besides, I have like 20 people I want to 5* eventually, more feathers would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the "just wanna watch the world burn" club. This new multiplier system seems to put things even more up in the air for who will win than before.

Anime27Arts Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 So if the numbers continue as predicted the two characters who have received the most votes in the first hour of the multiplier will have lost. That doesn't sit right with me. If Nowi and Ninian are gone to this I'm going to be a little upset, but it's not like I can do anything. I need these feathers since I spent mine on my recentest project of beauty to be my perfect Brave!Lynn and Reinhardt counter who I just finished. So if both of my teams lose I'll be a merc for feathers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflolxp54 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Voting Gauntlet seems to REALLY favor "underdogs" now... basically, teams with huge playerbases compared to teams with smaller player bases are just so much more likely to lose now. The factions with the lower number of players not only get the multipliers but are also more likely to score the victory feathers on top that as well as get points for cumulative score. How is that even fair to the more popular teams? It seems that whoever gets the lead first this time is to lose the round. So now, players are being punished even harder for "bandwagoning" even if they genuinely like the character.

Kiran Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I think multiplers are sucking the fun out of this for me. Not only will my current team Nowi lose, but my backup team Ninian will lose. That's not even including previous gauntlets like Leo or Lyn. I think I need to become less invested in these battles and just focus on the feathers now.

SageOfAnys Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Honestly, as much as I joked about the Lucina and Camilla juggernauts in the first two gauntlets, I didn't mind when they won, because they were the more popular characters. It was just interesting to see how others matched up and realize that so-and-so was more popular than we could've imagined. And even when you sided with them, you still had the chance of a decent ranking/feather winnings as long as you played often enough. The multiplier punishes people on popular teams by not only making ranking infinitely harder for them as they get few multipliers (meaning less chances for higher scores/more opportunities to miss it), but now it is getting increasingly more likely for the more popular to lose because they "were winning too hard". There is no benefit in siding with the winning side anymore, and that just pisses me off. Sorry for rants, I'm pretty sure this forum has seen enough of these, especially regarding VG. But this is the 4th time a major upset has happened (and the 2nd time it happened to me) and I'm only going to be walking away with 500 pity feathers at this point. I feel like I have the right to vent a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hardly see it as a rant - I see it as a legitimate complaint/criticism since for a gamemode that rides on the idea of which character is more popular, it's pretty much false advertising at this point.

Silverly Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 This is just insane. Why does there have to be a multiplier EVERY SINGLE HOUR? I’d think of all things they’d make them less prevalent, not more. I wish in the future the multipliers were stuck to specific times (like 4-6 times within the two days) and made more potent to compensate. We still got this, Team Nowi!

Ninian got more than 6 times as many votes as Fae in the first hour, which may have been like the only one without a multiplier effective. Fae may very well win due to a last hour multiplier. That's just not right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Sigh... People will never be satisfied with the gauntlet, will they? First two gauntlets: Too many curb-stomps and obvious winners, this is boring! Later gauntlets: Matches are too close now because multipliers, this is unfair! I just think the gauntlet needs a different name and that the multiplier needs a bit more tweaking. It doesn't need removed and I would MUCH rather not go back to almost every single match being an obvious boring curbstomp and there being an obvious winner.

Yeah, Team Sophia overshot badly. But her even having had a chance to win over the protagonist of a most recent FE game is hilarious. The multiplier was a mistake.
