Fate/Grand Order (Smartphone)

Threw 3 tickets to the banner, got Marines CE.

On another note, I didn't know you could reset project 12 to get the other 2 Crystallized Lores, so you get 2 Lores for 200ish AP, cool.

Trash week for me. Would have rather had 1/2 AP EXP, Free Quest, or 1/2 AP QP (I don't need any, but others desperately do). A lot of people pulled during summer and got new stuff, let's do 1/2 AP monuments/gems instead :D

Prisma Illya event should be coming on the 24th.
Nero Fest around the 14th or so.

[arus2001]

Yeah, I need to level Squirty, Martha, Scatchach, and Marie. Fuck the training quests. Big ass AP traps.

[Katlan]

I desperately need certain class gold gems but I also need xp. So I’ll mix it up between the two for sure.

Prisma Illya event announced:



I started watching Prisma Illya a few days ago, just incase there were spoilers in the event. It's surprisingly actually really good. It's not as lewded as people make it out to be, there's only a few scenes that are bad. Halfway through the last season. Would recommend.

Illya is the worst in the show though.

[Katlan]

I'm still debating as to whether to roll for Illy. I want her, but there are so many other servants that I want coming now till the end of the year

[Insanecyclone]

Holy fuck those drop rates

[Katlan]

farming feathers all day every day. Even though I have 150, I'm still going to farm the shit of them for when I need them. Now still deciding if I should roll for Illy. I will prolly do one 10 roll anyways for an attempt at some CE's

[IceSylph]

Yeah, definitely a feather farm event. Unfortunately, the event shop probably can't be cleared with a lot of CE or apple usage, so may not get to really utilize it. I don't want to use more apples than the event gives.

[IceSylph]

They really gave us 2* Fou, lmfao.

They also fucked with emulators, and can no longer access the game. Already put it on my phone, but meh. Screen is so tiny, and phone is pretty old, so it's sluggish. I need to invest in a new tablet.

[Katlan]

Yeah the event shop is super Grundy. It’s around 20 gold apples to clear the event shop aside monuments. That’s insane. Sounds like an event to get what you want in the shop and hit farm feathers otherwise. Feathers is also from the all 3 currency node which is generally the non optimal farming way

[Katlan]

Did a 10 pull.. 2 gold caster cards show up.. both Helena. (I'm not bitter)

[IceSylph]

Part 2 of the event started tonight. Same with the Medb banner. Been spending the tickets from the event to try for Miyu CE, and while I didn't get, I did get Medb, so there's that. Now just a year wait for her costume ( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)

[Katlan]

It took me like 120 quarts to get a single Miyu CE. My summer banner luck is not with me this time

Your luck with pulling 5* baffles me haha, I've pulled 2 SSR in 2018 and one of them was from a reroll.

I'm saving to try to get a NP2 Jeanne, then it's nothing till Merlin.

It's really only been recently, lol. Makes up for the first half of the year being a total wash. My JP can't get shit though. 4 SSR total, 1 from the guaranteed. 1 off banner. Multiple SR, but only 2 SR have been on banner >.>

I'm contemplating just skipping Jalter completely, but we'll see. I really want to go for NP2 Ishtar and NP1 Merlin, and they take priority over Jalter.

Nero Fest announced:

Get your apples and rainbow apples ready, my friends.



http://fate-go.cirnopedia.org/quest_event_20160928.php

25 4* EXP
3 Medals
3 Gears
4 Chains
2 Lanterns 
4,550,000 QP 
13,500 FP (Lower than normal from other lottos)

Per box. Extremely good for chains/medals. Don't be ashamed in using SQ to refill, as these are the events to do so.

Hoping to get 50 boxes here, and atleast 50 boxes for Christmas.

Also, be ready for some real challenge quests :D

EDIT:

Someone also spoke with Albert (community rep for FGO NA) at the CR expo. Here's what they had to say:

yea albert was pretty frank and open in answering stuff and being upfront about stuff

he talked about the differences between NA vs CN, KR, and Taiwan
he said CN, KR, and Taiwan are licensed and that he speculates they have backend access which lets them do things that he can't. which is why KR had test account access leaked and people having servants they shouldn't have and CN has censoring.
whereas NA localization has to submit everything to DW Japan and get approval

he went to the 3rd year anniversary in JP
got to meet Nasu and Takeuchi

also said DW JP is aware of the things posted on reddit as well
and that he did ask to be able to post and interact directly with the community but was shot down
I believe his words were "Fuck off Albert"
was the response he was given when he asked

also that they used Leff instead of Lev because DW JP said to then DW JP asked why the fuck did they use Leff and Albert told them that they told him to
and DW response was "oh..."

he also talked about what the localization team does
they run the panels at events, they look over the translations they send to a translation group, etc
and that they do request stuff from DW JP but end of the day DW JP is the big boss
NA also doesn't have access to the backend stuff, that all belongs to JP
and he speculated KR, CN, and Taiwan do
which is why KR had test account access leaked and people having servants they shouldn't have

He did ask if anyone wanted KR speed and only 1 person cheered
and that he wouldn't out that person in fear the rest of us would beat him up afterwards
Someone asked at the end of the panel if we would get turn off NP animations
and he said NA won't get it until after JP gets it, he doesn't have control of that and he would like it as well
and that DW/Type Moon is aware fans ask for it but that they are resisting because the NPs are part of the characters

QoL stuff he remarked that NA got a good amount of QoL stuff earlier than JP based on where they are on schedule
he said that he wanted to change up how they do panels now since he's aware that everyone has clairevoyance EX due to jp being out for 2 years

QoL stuff he remarked that NA got a good amount of QoL stuff earlier than JP based on where they are on schedule
and that the problem is that it is scary to add QoL stuff to the version where it isn't implemenented since then you cause more issues/bugs
he brought up the example of costumes and how if they DW tried to implement it to a version of the game before it was introduced it would have a cascading effect of issues
he also brought up that we're going with JPs schedule as decided by JP overlords
and that he likes the pace right now and certain events work best where they are for holidays/seasonal

he did apologize for the fiasco of the GSSR
and after the panel was over I asked him about how NA released 2 weeks ahead of JP so what was the plan for the next GSSR
His response was "It would be bad if Enkidu was not in the next GSSR"
so he would recommend that to DW to include Enkidu in the GSSR

Someone did ask about localization of the visual novels/FGO Arcade
something in regards to more amusement centers popping up in NA
and he asked how many people were interested in that and that he would recommend it to DW

He would love a back button but it's QoL stuff that is way in advance and that he would suggest it, DW JP says no, Albert would say "But dadddddd"

[Icarian]

This event was pretty shitty IMO, there's absolutely no way to clear the shop unless you go hard either in gacha or apples, moreso since the story/missions are very long, I finished it yesterday.

Also, I totally forgot to get the caster gems, so this is gonna be the first week I don't finish the master missions : (

Okeanos - Sunken Rock Seas -- if you want to go down that shithole for gems.

But yes. I liked the event for the story/comedy, since I enjoy Prillya, but shop is dumb. I finished today and finished the challenge quest, and I'm no where near clearing out anything. I don't think the gold drop broke 1000 by the time I finished all missions, and I took +1-2 drop for all nodes they dropped on. Same with the 4* CE one, but have a little more of those. And 3* CE item only like 2100 or so. It's pretty bad since the good nodes only came out week 2, and you don't get much while doing the actual missions until EX.

[Insanecyclone]

I haven't bothered really farming this event, caught up in other things. I could push hard to get kuro I guess and fuck everything in the shop. I just hop on for login now, only just started the nursery rhyme part.

Been waiting on nerofest mainly for boxes to actually farm hard on till christmas time.
