Triple Triad Thread

[Lyall]

I also remember one of the folks in the Gold Saucer having that bag turn into a shown card when beating them, but I only "play" Triple Triad when I'm drunk, so take that as you will.

[Raldo]

It's always just a bag with a question mark, no matter how many cards they drop.

Oh, they don't show up as actual cards once you get a drop? What the hell is wrong with my memory, ugh

This is what I was remembering as well, but I'm willing to be wrong. I also haven't won any cards from anyone outside of the Saucer, so maybe it works differently there, idk.

Oh, maybe I misunderstood, but.

When you challenge in NPC: It shows the MGP you'll get for winning and a mystery bag showing that it can drop cards.

When you win: If you get a card, the icon for the card shows up next to the MGP. You can hover over it and see what card you just won before you hit accept. However, if you know an NPC only drops a 5 star card and you can see the 5 stars on the card icon itself you already know it's a 5 star without needing to hover over it.

[Raldo]

I was definitely thinking of when you challenge the NPC that the mystery bag was a card, but like you've said, I am probably remembering incorrectly.

[Lyall]

Yeah, I thought I remembered that card turning into... Mog? Chocobo? Maybe Ixal? because I remember being surprised when it didn't change for Elmer after finally getting Bahamut and Godbert.

y'all niggas high

People probably looking at FFXIVtriad website and thinking they saw it in game or some shit.

[Sephiroth]

I can confirm that you can still pick up the 1000 MGP participation bonus for the tournament without playing a single tournament match. I didn't participate because I don't have 60 cards and cheaters were going to win anyway, but I did sign up.

[Meian]

Not including the 20 or so of each I sold earlier. So in conclusion, fuck Gaius.

I just got it from Praetorium. Believing it is best to get it from there. Took me about 5 tries, two diff people I knew got it within 1-2 tries. Course, you can still go after it for MGP as well from Imperial.

Wouldn't have been as much of a problem if tournaments were every week instead of every 2 weeks. Or if card wasn't just the top 3. Or if tournament wasn't hot rigged garbage :V

Tournament every week. Top20 get the card. Rename it Triple Triad Challenge (cause lets be honest, its not a tournament). Done.

Put tournament cards in "Tourney Pack" item, top 20 get varying amounts of Tourney Packs, you get 1 pack consolation prize for entering. Have your regular shittacular drop rate on Packs and w/e

Then make a separate actual Tournament.

y'all niggas high

^ this

Also, please make these "tourney packs" have the same drop rate on Gerolt that gold packs have, I need to continue building my army.

[Rocl]

yo i'm just spitballing awful ideas like the rest of the forums don't tell me how to do shit

(though yes when i mentioned shitty drop rates i imagined stacks of Gerolt)

[Fievel]

oh no I'm serious I need to continue building my Gerolt army

must have stacks because thats what FFXIV wants me to have

[Sephiroth]

They should do a cup format, where players are drawn at random to play each other (only among online players) and have each round end after one day. If you miss your round then tough you're out.

[Rocl]

well i'm glad people still have worse ideas than me

[gaira]

a real tournament would be vs. other players only and use a duty finder type matchmaking to do the brackets. 15 matches would be worth a couple of pools to narrow down to a top 16 single elim or something. i can dream. of course scheduling would be a problem, someone would miss out.

Make it like ranked mode in fighting games ;o like in SF4 ranking by PP!

[Arthars]
