    We’ve got a bunch of inactives again, might be time to go fishing for more recruits.

  • Trajan45Trajan45 Registered User regular
    Go ahead and purge away. For recruits I normally just look at arena level and try and get someone not at Bronze 5.

    I booted one that was gone for a week. Allanoc has been gone for a while but has an inactive message. Scrublet7 (frosteey) said they was gone two pages back but I can’t personally boot him. Rahne ( @cptrugged ) has been gone a week.

    Didn’t see anyone waiting to get in. Should we wait?

    I’d leave a one person hole so it’s obvious we have an opening but not drop more until we have people.

    We still also have a handful that basically never open the guild menu and participate in anything as far as I can tell.

    edit: welp, got both elena and the artifact without burning all my bookmarks this time

    No Elena in my limited summons I saved. But I did get the artifact.

    Trajan45
  • Trajan45Trajan45 Registered User regular
    I think I'd rather have the artifact. While potion is better on speedy SW's, I think it could work well on slow tanky ones. I'm sure there is some niche where Elena would shine, but right now from what I'm reading she's really hard to use. In PvP, weaker AoE attacks like Dizzy kick off her heal which then has a 2 turn CD, basically wasting it for a harder hitting cleaver.

    I'm basically out of bookmarks anyways and low on skystones. I think I'll start saving up for Christmas in case there is a limited unit.

    I will save my opinion until the content makers who seem more unbiased or if I am able to pull her. Her heal hit pretty hard though in the side story and her passive stacks with other dmg reducing artifacts so while she may not have a place in common meta you could probably easily find a place for her in GWs and or PVP where a 3-5k auto buffer on aoe will give a huge advantage. She will also could be an auto god healer and fit in to situations where people have already beaten but is still viable to review her on, like double healing situations in abyss and raids. She gives 50% eff resist and invincibility which can be used to resist basar S3s for example.

    The big problem I have with a lot of online reviewing is that they are soley reviewing the new heroes for champion+ meta. Which is wholly unfair.

    Jubal77 on
  • Trajan45Trajan45 Registered User regular
    Yeah I don't doubt she has places where she'd work. I just have so many characters that are un-mola'd, lvl 50, and/or un-geared, that unless I like the animations and/or they have a obvious hole they fill, I think I can start skipping.

    I got extremely lucky and got both Elena and her artifact in the 10 pulls I did this morning. I'm unsure of how to equip her, but I'll figure that out eventually. Her healing doesn't seem consistent enough to have her as a primary healer though, since it only triggers on AOE attacks.

    Anyone know when we'll start getting rewards for the World Boss stuff? I know we get those treasure boxes depending on how we do individually, but I figured there'd be a guild reward.

    Only if your guild ranks high enough from what I have heard. So far ive gotten a few of the summon stones and ladyjubs got a gold transmit stone.

    Kind of wish they'd bring back limited artifacts like Portraits and Iela Violin.

    I pulled in the strongest off the invite list in. Can you boot Scrublet7 when you get some time so we get more?

    oh baby. I noticed that Elbis was in the pool for mystic summons. 8 pulls later I now have Elbis!! wooo. I guess I need to get Charles up to 60 next and figure out how to gear him.

    There are two of them I typically run into. Counter tanky or speed crit dmg. I seem to run into counter tanky more with min speed to not have 0 speed but he doesnt need a lot.

  • Trajan45Trajan45 Registered User regular
    Yeah I'm leaning counter tanky since it would allow me to use some different gear. Seems like every character I'm working on wants speed/cc/cd/hp in some fashion.

    This seems like a pretty good goal to shoot for: https://imgur.com/a/SOwHMoI Though maybe shoot for Immunity vs HP set?

    Origin ID\ Steam ID: Warder45
  • Jubal77Jubal77 Registered User regular
    Yeah immunity would be dependent on your gear. If your set has a ton of eff res you could go resist set too.

  • Trajan45Trajan45 Registered User regular
    haha doesn't all gear have tons of effect res :)

    Ideally I'd like to get 3k attack and 250 CD so I could use him for wave 1 on B11 as well.

    LOL. But for all the hate eff res gets on rolls people do stack it the higher you get.

    I've been saving some good sets to try on A. Ravi once I get her up. I was thinking tanky counter charles and tanky counter A. Ravi. After that who knows, I've seen folks using A. Cidd a now, maybe use C. Armin or a tanky counter dizzy with abyssal crown (or Basar). SSB is another option.

    Now that I've use Elena some in the side story, I kind of wish they had shuffled her abilities a bit. Make her S1 a heal and something, remove the healing from her S2 and make it a cleanse all debuffs once every 2 turns, and then replace the attack/invuln with a heal all/invuln S3 with soulburn to lower CD.

    You can use Celestine at least.

    Elena seems to be purely made to counter cleavers, which is kind of a specific niche. Probably gonna level mine up at some point for a screw A. Vildred team though.

  • NosfNosf Registered User regular
    I haven't much been playing lately, but did hope in and snag Elena within a few hundred ticket-y things. Hiyo!

    Ya'll can totally boot me if you need from the guild. I'm pretty much out. Though I have been logging in on wed night to see if there's a limited character.

  • Jubal77Jubal77 Registered User regular
    Next SC looks to be:
    Wanda

    Which is cool because the kit for that hero was always somewhat decent so an added punch may make the SC the next Montmo in terms of power jump.

    Also LadyJubs put on nearing 110k cp on Inquisitor and he does work. Yes I know anyone with that gear could but his kit functions really really well at high CP and not the whole increasing bad multiplier dmg over the OHKO threshold that the usual thing for throwing gear at it.

    Oh nice I got Chloe in my mystics from GW. Nice. She is going to get built. Ive been wanting her for a boss killer for awhile now.

    She looks awesome. Good luck choosing which EE to use though haha. Reminds me of Cermia with lots of great options.

    Tons of positive changes upcoming from a content dump in Korea.
    ML Romann, Cecelia skin, 3 more skins for winter (one of which looks to be Iseria for sure), 3 more EE (Kayron, Lidica and Romann it looks like), ability to sort alphabetically and other expanded options, huge drop in resources needed for equipment conversion plus compensation with nerf down, SC Wanda looks to be evasion hero killer, and more.

    Now if people would get off the insufferable hate train.

    I'm happy for the hate train. Without it we might not be getting these improvements. The equipment one is huge, I've been hitting Huche up every day in the Lab now to get necklace runes to try and get some sacrificial ones up to +15. Now I just need a bunch of the same type.

    Sad that I thought I had a Wanda but turns out I don't.

    Huh I don’t have Wanda either. She’s the only 3* I’m missing other than Bask (an event hero). I have an SSS Sven and have foddered like 3 extras, but no Wanda. Weird.

  • Trajan45Trajan45 Registered User regular
    Romann getting some good love as well. His EE has speed on it which puts him at 115 if you get a max roll. Budget ice version of Basar.

    Yes they may have not fixed the equipment process without the hate what I dislike about these hate trains is that they never really leave. They fester and always find something to latch onto. There has been plenty of support of SG fixing the systems that people show displeasure in. Attempting to kill a game because you dont like a system is taking it way too far. I would wager that a majority of the vocal minority that review bombed the game does not go back and fix their 1* baseless reviews for example.

    A lot of this hate is a big ol lack of perspective and entitlement to me. Somehow SG is supposed to fix major poblems that pretty much all longtime online games have in some fashion.

  • ArdArd Registered User regular
    Honestly, the hate train probably didn’t help at all. They’ve thus far always designed things iteratively, and issued refunds as necessary. They’ve mostly avoided massive overcorrections and instead played it in much smaller, safer steps. People just want things NOW NOW NOW.
