Brave Frontier

Damnit. Now you guys have me motivated. Let's see if I can generate 16000 pts between now and Saturday night.

Withdrawal is real, fellas.

Been doing a few daily tasks. That's about as much commitment as I can tolerate, though. You guys want Bestie (Anima), Deimos, Dion or Ruby as friend unit?

Probably doesn't matter - my friends list had pretty much every useful unit - but figured I'd ask.

Heya Doc,


Deimos would be my choice.

Your Deimos is damn near perfect, and he is ace for raids and such. Seems like a choice Deimos is harder to come by on my friends list than a choice Bestie....(and damn, Anima too? The Envy is Real. REAL.)

Fuck, at this point I'd give her away. Getting her so easily actually contributed to my burnout because I simply don't have a way to put her in lead with no viable status null (unless I wanted to replace Deimos with Kanon, which is a good deal more depressing than shelving Bestie) and no viable mitigator. It was pretty much a cosmic fuck-you: "Alright", the game proclaimed, "so you got that shit everybody wants. What are you gonna donow?" So I flipped off Edea and Reis and went on hiatus.

lol, well it isn't impossible.


5k points a day felt like a solid 'full' day without going nuts over it. I'll end up hitting at least 7k, maybe 8k points today, give or take a bit, but I was trying to make up for lost time and such......still not going to lose any sleep over it, but tried to hit every orb after I woke up and re-installed the game (which included the stealth fixes for the Assert Errors not available when I went to bed last night) and punch-up on ranks every time. 16k over 2 days and change is certainly possible, but I wouldn't slack any unless you want to gamble on their being an extension or not.

The Buffer Jewel has been my motivation. I haven't felt like going nuts trying to farm/craft them. I've been slacking a lot lately, but even so, I'd rather put my time toward a few more Malice Jewels before I turn my attention toward Buffers.

A "free" Buffer Jewel though? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeit.

Any amount of Water Vortex'ing for a few days beats the hell out of trying to craft one of those damn things from scratch.

I'd really just like the summon ticket. I've got 3 buffer jewels, just need 3 doom rings to craft two more and I'll get another from the next fh.

Not playing for a couple of days has made it really easy to find 200 pt matchups. I doubt I'll hit it, I'm in meetings for most of the day tomorrow.

And yeah, during my final two weeks the game started throwing Animas at me. Animas of units that either I'd have killed for when they weren't flirting with slight obsolescence - Quaid - or units that I already had imped - Balgran - or otherwise stellar units that clashed with Zenia - Dion. And then of course Bestie.

I realized that what I've been bitching about - Animas of four quality 7* units - is kinda pathetic, but that shit was so exquisitely stellar-but-not-what-I-wantedand it took so many gems to get that it contributed greatly to the feeling that I was just about done.

edit: oops, meant to quote Leto. Whatevs.

LOL


My summons just cured me of any desire to summon for a while. Wasn't even tempted by any groups out of this Popular unit rate-up. If the Krantz group releases after with no rate up, no telling when I'd be tempted next.

I have a Breaker Aurelia (Hey, I'll take it) who just needs her evolution unit/mat, and a Guardian Hadaron.....were they supposed to be this month?


I was looking at my units earlier, and I don't know who the hell I want to Imp next. I literally have Imps in my inventory right now just sitting there that I don't know who to fuse to. Not a lack of choices or anything, it just feels like everybody (who isn't Imp'd already) is either outdated or going to be very soon....or I just plain ol' don't like them. If worse comes to worst, I may list a few candidates here for some feedback.

I still have a hate-hate relationship with Oracles, but never was it so bad as with my Oracle Edea. If I had her in any other type, I'd be imp'ing her out...with the +15% secondary sphere from the Karl EX Trial, I feel like she is usable at least now, but still....I just know as soon as I put Imps on here I'll pull a much better typing. I have an Oracle Will I'm half-considering giving attention to. He isn't quite leveled up completely yet, and I am gonna want to take him for a spin before I decide if he has the juice to justify imp's as an Oracle.

I could probably toss some imps on Lord Michele.....doing it would be earlier than I'm used to, but provided I don't get her in better typing before her 7-star rolls out, I know I'll be using her as my Arena Lead, replacing Lord Quaid.

Wow, with Balgran too?


If we could have put my units together with your units, we could have taken over the world


Balgran is one I damn sure wouldn't mind having on my roster.....I don't want him so badly that I'd summon just specifically for him, but I'd damn sure use him for Frontier Gate and such (still never beaten that).

Shitty part is getting from one rank to another. My pts/fight took a nosedive, especially around the jump to sanctified. Had a few double digit wins :|


edit: btw, 133 fights to get to 20k. Avg of 151 pts/fight.

Ya that transition is tricky.....if I'm feeling patient, I scope out the opponents wins and look for someone who has a higher win total by a few dozen wins (win totals don't tell the whole story of course, but have to read what tea-leaves we have).

It is the very last stage that worries me.....I can see most people getting that buffer jewel and just stopping.....so most "Sanctified's" might only have that rank by the skin of their teeth. That home stretch could be uncomfortably slow.

Right now I am at 113 Wins @16.7k, but with the most worrisome stretch ahead of me yet.

Balgran's a lot of fun. Kafka makes me drool. I've been so fucking lucky of late with getting 7* units - not the ones I want, mind - that I'm not sure the God Gate or whatever it's called is what I'm saving for. I'm dormant right now, but I think what'll resolve me either to kick this shit to the curb or start playing again will be what I summon from the next batch, because the next batch is ridiculously solid.

Hadron and aurelia should drop next week.

Truth.

I want Krantz like nobodies business, but I'd be happy to add just about ANYone from the next batch to my roster. (except Oracles, they can all burn in hell)


Here's hopin' you pull a Krantz so you are back raging at Gumi with the rest of us


Nobody seems to know when the God Gate is coming now.....some speculation after that TwitchTV thing they did a few days ago seemed to indicate it might be months off yet - but that was just speculation I think. I still hope it is sooner rather than later, and releasing it with the Krantz/Glyph batch would suit me just fine....but I am not nearly as hopeful as I was before that we might see it soon.

Hadaron I'm mostly just curious about. They *could* make him stone-cold awesome, but I don't know that they would. I hope they surprise me, but I'm prepared for a nothing more than a big "ho-hum" from Hadaron.


Aurelia on the other hand I'm downright excited for - they almost only have to make sure that her 7-star isn't any *worse* than her own 6-star and she'll be solid. If she improves in any significant way, learning a new trick or two or something, she's gonna be flat out fantastic.

I give it about 50% odds that after her 7-star release, I am going to want to superglue her and Tridon together so I never have one without the other
