Fate Grand Order

[kukuruyo]

There's an absolute war in Fgo groups right now over the anniversary, cause half users say NA server is shit cause they're giving us less stuff than JP, and the other says to not complain about free stuff and that we got upgrades before JP did.

[dragonstryke58]

The people complaining would complain no matter what, so it just the same old thing that's been going on in the FGO groups. Even if they got the same stuff they'd still whine about something. They complained about FGO starting a month early...then they complained about the breaks between singularities...then they complained about not having London characters in the guaranteed gacha...then they complained about the Christmas event being too early...then they complained about not having a New Year's guaranteed gacha...and the list goes on.

The fact of the matter is that most of the people complaining (or at least the one complaining the loudest) are not the new players that only play the NA version, but people with multiple accounts in different regions or have adequate knowledge of the content in JP. The typical NA player (the target audience for which FGO NA was released for) would have limited or no knowledge of what JP or the other regional servers got.

While I am of the mindset that it would be nice to get everything that JP gets on NA, I understand that they cannot treat NA the same as JP. The market is just different. First off, the player base is smaller. Second, the average NA player will spend less money than the average JP player. This is primarily due to cultural differences -- while "loot boxes" and microtransactions are accepted as normal in Asia, they are view with way more skepticism here in the West. Thirdly, in relation to the average NA player spending less, the people more inclined to spend (whales) also spend less in the NA as compared to their counterparts in Asia. These whales have knowledge of who is coming out when and on rate up for the next 2 years. This means they can plan (to some extent) and save quartz. With those glaring details about the NA market, it be less beneficial to them to give out more quartz.

I myself am saving g for the summer and Illya.

[Flare]

Didn't get Illiya during the Fate/Zero event? I've heard that they may rerun the event at the end of the year.

[dragonstryke58]

Fate/Zero event was Irisviel, Illya's mother. Illya will be the rate up for the Prisma Illya Collab.

Yup and Khloe is there as a free servant.

The only thing i complain about this game is that it's too easy but we'll keep having easy content cause players keep hyping it as a super hard game.

[Blake81]

For what I've seen (in reddits and the like), a lot of the ''hard-sayers'' are basically frustrated whales; they thought they could just throw money at it until the game beat itself on its own (like many other mobile games do nowadays), and are, I dare say, butt-hurt, that they have to grind for embers just like everyone else, else all those 5* servants they sank a new car's worth of cash on will be weaker that the 1* servants of someone who didn't pay a penny.

[kukuruyo]

There are a lot of players who seem unable of the most minimal of strategy, but i think the bigger problem are actually the veterans from the JP; they're the ones who fearmonger the most. I think they got cocky because they're "veterans" and got a feeling of superiority by telling everyone the game was super hard and then bathing in the people asking them for help to beat the game. And that could maybe work in the first half a year when we knew shit about the game, but now that the suposedly hardest parts of teh game have come out it's clear the game is very easy but they keep saying "oh you just wait for this X event!" XD

[Blake81]

Yeah, it's kinda like we were told about some super-scary horror movie again, again and again until we finally saw it and we had been spoilered so much we just didn't feel any fear....

On other news, I'm starting to run out of parties:

I have so many sevrants of some classess that i'll never get to use them even if they're good, and in some other clasess i have basically fwelfare servants XD

Like, i had Scatahach in lancer, then i got Elizabeth lancer, Fionn, Karna and Alter Tituria. I don't think there will ever be any situation where i would need a team with more lancers than Sca-karna-Tituria.

Then go to assassins and my best stuf is welfare Shiki and a Bond 10 Mata hari xD

[Jinouga87]

Summer event comes on the 26. Rider Mordred will come to me soon!

[dragonstryke58]

Tamamo Lancer, please come home!

[Flare]

*Is hoping for Lancer Kiyohime*

[Blake81]

Tamamo Lancer, please come home!

*Is hoping for Lancer Kiyohime*

Both I hope....

[Jinouga87]

Good thing They're all in the Part 1 summon. Part 2 will have Archer Artoria, Ruler Martha and Caster Marie.

[Kaijin]

I'm gonna leave fanboyism aside.

I DO hope that at the very least I get one lancer because I desperately need a good lancer and both of them are actually decent choices (although Tamamo is a bit tricky to make her work or so I've heard), but knowing my shitty luck I usually have I'll get none and instead I'll get a NP5 Summer Mordred that I'll never use (incredibly likely in a game that insists on giving me Berserkers when I already have Heracles).

.P.S.:

Part 2 will have Archer Artoria, Ruler Martha and Caster Marie.

Ruler Martha is pretty good (for the time being at the very least) and I have no rulers at all, so I'll try to save some quartz for her too I guess.

I feel ya Bro.... I have two full parties of Zerkers, most of which I don't really care about, and most already on NP2-3....

Tamamo isn't actually all that tricky, imho. She's my primary lancer in JP, and aside from gimicky fights (Halloween 2, I''m looking at you), I've never had any problems with her.

As far as summer Mordred goes...if it's any consolation, I heard she's great at NP spam farming doors.

So I was on the twitters, when I saw this.

Have to admit, had to chuckle a little.
