    I'm starting to be quite angry at this game, probably because I've spent the last few hours fighting NPC's with Chaos. I actually want to quit, uninstall, throw my computer outside, run it over, and send it to SE with a card signed "My hopes". Not really, but, I am getting far to upset at how cheap some NPCs are

    Swift and Garuda/Frixio are the two I'm hating myself over.

    I can't wait for a Chaos+Random NPC that drops a 0.5% drop rate 5star card which you can't get anywhere else.

    Super rare cards aren't a big deal unless you just do it for the OCD collector thing (which is a lot of people I'm sure), it's just the way the system works you need the 60 different cards to actually be able to make a real deck and there's only so many common ones.

    I'm at the point where the rarer cards are all that I have left to gather to hit 60... I'm at 50 atm.

    Farming cards from Primals and dungeons are like pulling teeth. I'd rather farm a Kraken club or 2005 era relic grinding in XI, both of those would have success before I ever see a Primal drop a card.

    This. I had to shut the game down out of frustration last night and that was me trying to attain a 4 star card. I don't know if I want to put in 100-200 hours to hit that magic 60, there's many better things I could spend that time on. Unfortunately SE has decided to implement TT in a way which isn't fun. I've no desire to challenge other players or participate in tournaments with a restricted deck.

    The biggest laugh in your face is that you spend all this time gathering the 4 and 5 star cards yet you can only ever use one of them, which of course will be a 5 star card making 4s completely useless. I can understand SE not wanting you to create an unbeatable deck but the solution should have been less rare cards and more common weaker cards. Do we really need 30 4-5 star cards when you can only use 1?

    Personally, getting cards from trials and dungeons have been relatively painless, although I haven't tried for Bartz and Terra, just the other, low rarity exclusive cards (missing only moggle mog and those 2). People are saying that extremes have higher drop rates, but ugh trying to do those in DF is terrible. I would also try to wait for the regional rule on some npcs and hopefully they help- today had Marcette with Ascension on Ultros, made her a joke even with chaos active and got Garuda.

    Marcette has Acension on Sarg atm but I can't get a consistent win rate on her. Odin/Ramuh is a potent combo. I've been doing Hard Mode primals/Dungeons, havent gotten a card from any save Ultros/typhon, and I've done... quite a few :L

    Been Chocobo racing though as a diversion, quite fun.

    What kind of Deck do you use? (Cards specifically if you dont mind)

    Frixio, Scarface, Mutamix, Memeroon, and Squall, same deck for ascension and same/plus, Chaos isn't so bad as each beastman is relatively safe on both sides and corners and Squall usually takes enemy or captured cards when he comes around in chaos. Ascension helps prevent odin/bahamut taking cards near the end.

    I guess I just get unlucky as thats really close to the deck I use... but Marcette always seem to have an 8/9 Up their sleeve on the first turn and I lose my Early Beastmen places, never to be reclaimed (since they're all equal except for one exposed area... i'll chug through it though.

    Either way, I'm actually curious if EX's have higher chances myself but something tells me no.

    I am currently sitting at 57 cards and the only card i have left that i can get from an NPC is Merlwyb.
    Getting 60 cards is a lot easier than i had imagined considering i haven't even touched any silver or gold packs at all. Terra card is the only one that i got that i would consider "rare" in terms of droprate from actual duties. Droprates on Siren or Tonberry shouldnt be horrible either considering they are one or two star cards.
    Yes it requires some effort/luck to be able to be competetive in the tournament but so does everything else. Imo SE did a really good job overall.

    You dont need 60 cards at all to have fun playing against others.
    Playing a 1 star deck vs another 1 star deck is just as much fun as it is playing a 2 star deck against another 2 star deck. There is really no point in playing against each other with an uneven deck from both sides. Facerolling someone gets old after like 1 match already.

    Farming for cards does suck. I resubbed only for TT and I've spent 80% of my logged in time the past few days doing trials for cards. What's worse is that I really have no interest in gearing up so I'm doing it at like i100-110 and without Ramuh EX or Shiva EX unlocked.

    Really wanted 60 cards before the tournament but it isn't going to happen if it didn't happen by now. Grad school is too unforgiving for this shit.

    Edit: just capped Poetic's from resub on Thursday doing only 5-7 per run duties. Have an ultros and a levi to show for it. Just did 22 mog and 5 ifrit without any cards. Fml.

    I've finally got him figured out (haven't lost a match in hours, only very rarely draw) and he's even stingy on consolation prize cards.
    Took me ~75 attempts yesterday to get this. Annoying !@#$ but not too hard to beat once you get the right cards in play.

    Rowena on the other hand...cheating bitch.

    Have you tried Rowena? What do your cards look like? I could eventually get Rowena down to at least a tie (with a rare loss). I'll have to remember what cards I used. Basically you need to know that she has very high up and down strength. If you can force her to waste Louis and Bahamut, you generally can win. Louis is very weak from the sides and Bahamut is very weak from one of his sides. She also tends to play Bahamut and Louis as her last cards so you can cover up one side of the board to block up and down panels and then win!

    It's pretty much the same with me, but a lot of times they just give me absolute shit cards that don't work out too well with what she has. Even so, I usually win or draw, with a few losses here and there, but I've still had no luck with the card. I'm really hoping I get lucky with it today.

    Hate you so much! I've practically given up on them for now as I've wasted so much time with them this weekend. The only saving grace is that I got Raubahn out of the way in the last cycle last night and he's the worst for W/L record.

    Don't do the trials imo. You will probably get the primal cards within 2-3 windows of each NPC.
