[FATE/GRAND ORDER] Success Rate Up is still a lie

    TBH I think the variance in success can be mostly explained by the difference in money people spend, combined with some randomness

    We'd need to get a lot of data from people, stratified by amount spent, to get proof though

    I've gotten screwed on some banners (like this one) and lucky on others (second Shishou), and average RNG elsewhere. I don't think there's a way to prove or disprove seeds, so I'm inclined to think that they aren't a thing.

    For every time I've done well

    There's a Scathach banner where I've come up empty

    Every time I see someone say that the secret to getting 5-stars is to level someone until you get a great success, then pull immediately after, I die a little

    Partially because nonsense rumors like that are frustrating, partially because I’m afraid it’s true and I’ve wasted so much quartz

    Completely forgot about the event. Was gonna start doing it tomorrow and see where I get. Did not get Tamamo. Contemplating life and probably not gonna do the event. Much sadness.

    JP Summer 2018 CM is out, confirming summer Medb and someone who appears to be Summer BB (but since there's a million and one Sakuras, who knows).

    And check out who is flying through the air near the logo at the end

    Man watching that CM makes me jealous of JP

    Our summer event is a slog

  • NeveronNeveron HellValleySkyTree SwedenRegistered User regular
    On the bright side, at least Summer Marie's trial quest is great?

  • StiltsStilts Registered User regular
    Got Summer Mordred on my second pull

    Got absolutely nothing worthwhile except event CEs on banner 2

    Good thing I exercised restraint, I guess!

    Actually setting up code to tie things to account seeds sounds way more complicated than just having an RNG do it's thing. I'm more inclined to say it's just the nature of luck. For the longest time, the only non-charity gold servants I had were Stheno and Drake (through Saber Wars, I think) and then all at once I got a flood. Kiyohime is still the only luck I've ever had on event banners, but on the other hand, I've dropped 60 quartz and 20 tickets total on this event.

    Went fishing for Summer Mordred! And got her eventually!
    And was spooked by Regular Anne/Mary (new to me), and Astolfo.


    Oh, and, uh. Well.

    Let's just say a certain person who says mikon~ a lot and uses an umbrella.

  • MadicanMadican No face Registered User regular
    One thing I do like about Part 2 thus far
    Tamamo is basically Satan to the boars.

  • TcheldorTcheldor Registered User regular
    I just skipped all the cut scenes in both events because the writing was bad and the event was dumb.

    On the up side I just need to collect a ton of experience and I can have Summer Anne ready to go.

    Oh lord. One of the people on my friends list appears to have finally broken through medal hell and Ascended their Archtoria too. Only they're sticking with the goofy-as-fuck third sprite instead of the second or first.

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    I will go with the goofy third sprite, but nobody will ever know because she's not cool enough to get a spot on my support lineup

  • TcheldorTcheldor Registered User regular
    I've tried adding a bunch of you recently, but you all have maxed friends :(.

    I'm on the list, but I do have some openings if anyone needs a summer Tama, Anne, and Jack.

    Not me. I have a lvl90 Squirtoria in her 2nd sprite on my Support List.

    Also I sent a friend request to you, Tcheldor

    I think this is the first time I've seen an event acknowledge choosing the female Master instead of being male-oriented by default.

    BugBoy and I just visited the fox God shrine

    No Tamamos were spotted, but we saw a cat and a snake

    Inari? Did you climb the full path? I was there just a few weeks ago!

    Hey Tcheldor, I sent a request your way, if you'd like a fully powered Queen of the Land of Shadows available to you.

    [edit] Those of you on Android devices, do not update to Android 9 (Pie) yet. F/GO is not compatible with it.

    Merlin's claim to fame is no longer unique.
    Scathach can also be a cock wizard because runes apparently.

    Can't wait for those star absorb weight runes

    "You are a cheap, chaotic cocktail of cola, sugar, creams, and churros!"

    I really want to know what line originally said in Japanese.

  • PolaritiePolaritie Sleepy Registered User regular
    Heh, the scene that gives you Scathach was amusing.

    Oh well, quests and building done. Onward to farming!

    We wanted to, but it got dark and we are cowards. So we only made it up partway. About 20 minutes from the summit is where we turned around.

    It was really beautiful, though! The view from even partway up was stunning.

    I never farm for the regular skill gems/crystals because nobody ever needs more than a handful. Except Martha...

    She's going to be stuck at level 1 skills for a while, I guess.

    I was expecting someone different in this cave.
    Of course I picked the Tesla option.
