Previous Thread:

literally who

Just because it's a phone game doesn't mean they need to structure the rewards to ENCOURAGE people to literally AFK

Are you? GW weapons are garbage for zeus grid.

ok, someone show me a webM of dark magna clearing the lvl 100nm Xeno Saagittarius.

Does wind actually use sagi bow for UBaha HL build or was I memed on?

Sure, but the problem is that they don't really give a shit. This reflects on the kind of content that we are getting, since we are getting stuck into rerun hell and content that dies withing a week (primarchs, ubaha gets saved by the 6 man raid).
I hope Arcanum will be good.

Has anyone done a hercules/crit meme grid?

They have to because they have no other content and like MMO's, it's difficult to keep making progression content and making easier rewards just means more people are going to bottom out

How is the OP gbfg related

You only need nm70 though

>WIND

>he doesn't have the sweaty idol
lmeowing at you

The top get meaningful reward and the bottom get almost nothing isn't a very good structure for new players.
The better option would be the extra box (gold/red) is further extended to more players instead of only 1st-3rd.

From what I was told before when asking about what kind of weapons I should sit on, I was told that throwing in some HP weapons was a tech choice for it. If you have a strong grid, it's not like it matters since it's so damn easy to buy them monthly. Especially now that you can get more from the xeno shop.

Everyone are required to have at least 25k hp. Sagi bows are the easiest way to stack hp. Yes you're not gonna do much damage but damage doesn't matter much in UB HL.

>joins chev
>immediately WANPANS instead of using skills
I hope you don't do this anons

NMs above 70 are worthless.

What the fuck do you want me to do with Aegis Merge up?

Yeah I think the top half of Ubaha raids should get it so assholes stop leeching

Explain

doesn't get more rewards?

>using skills instead of allowing TH

getting double the amount of xeno horseshoes and cutting your grind practically in half is worthless.
but atleast now i feel better knowing dark cant even clear nm100

Or maybe kill fucking useless shit like flawless prisms.
Why are they a thing in 6 man, it just fucking infuraties me.

>idolshit
Never make a thread again.

Wouldnt magna HP weapons be better?

>doesn't get more rewards?
Drop rate of weapons are the same across all difficulties, if you have to sacrifice any placebo to do a higher one it's not worth it.

I wasn't actually suggesting they make loot overall more plentiful or rewarding, just that they restructure it so it doesn't encourage WANPAN
In other words, slightly more loot for mid tier players, a LOT less for people who do nothing but join and do 0.1% of raid contribution

If I don't have a good harp, is it acceptable to use GW dagger as superstar?

>a LOT less for people who do nothing but join and do 0.1% of raid contribution
Thats fucking terrible for every magna raid

I meant with aegis merge not up, of course
So they triggered aegis merge in order to do 40k damage

Yes, but you can't expect no rewards for new players, the only way they can be strong is to leech early on.

I just answered your question. I'm not the one who made this thread. Thanks.

I LOVE ROSAMIA!

Was wondering about this as well. Sagi bow has a small atk but a tia axe or spear would be boosted by tia summon and give you more hp so wouldn't it be fine?

Who?

no proofs? btfo idolfag

Shut up 9S

that would literally shit all over new players

Yeah, that's the problem I see with it, new players need a way to reach magna grid and I imagine that's the reason they haven't made a change like that.
They could implement a big variety of mid-tier leveling gear to address that issue but I guess it's easier to just do nothing.

>but atleast now i feel better knowing dark cant even clear nm100
Pretty sure Hades can with little issue. Magna, no clue.

You can't have NO damage. If you want to join as magna you go light with chev swords or water with ancient auberons.

>18 pots per day for a full magna raid run
>~6 pots per day for a full hard run
>pots for gw
>pots for Xeno
>events
How do you maintain a good supply of pots?

Whale for moons.

But 1 Magna HP + 1 Magna DMG is both more hp and more damage than 2 sagi bows

*unzips proofs*
AHAHAHA

Maybe if magna raids were excluded from this. Leeching is part of the early game and the new player experience doesn't need to be made any worse.

>play 36 colos
>gives me 2 copies of itself
>play 10 celeste
>gives me a claw and an axe
Quit being so stingy you damn armorpiece.

I only do 2-4 of the magnas a day outside of magfest
I luckshit on my xeno drops

Are you guys ready for the Summer Medusa reveal tonight? I sure am!

You are not supposed to do all magnas and hards every day.

Sagi bows are for zephyrfags of course. But they'll have a hard time to find Zephyr support.

I don't bother hosting all the hards and magnas every day because there's plenty of BP for capping pendants these days. I just do a few hards and one or two magnas, usually chev + whatever other element I'm working on.

>Not all hards
Then how do you get fodder

Except you are if you want a semblance of progress.

Once you're high enough rank, your AP in the morning + reset should be enough for 12 hard runs, while regen will give you the other six. You don't have to do 18 magna runs per day, that'd be a huge drain on both your AP and anima supplies.

user, gbf is coming to 4 years old, at this point in a game's lifecycle, virtually all devs focus their resources on producing content for their established playerbase, not new/midtier players

some qol or minor changes would be nice but expecting an overhaul of gbf's early game progression is asking for too much

You know that guy who has been complaining the last two days about chev drops? I'm back and I'm fucking pissed. JUST GIVE ME IT ALREADY STOP SHOWERING ME WITH THIS TRASH.

Hey, /gbfg/! What do you think is going to happen in roughly 13 hours? What will the gacha change be? I hope it's a new character! Maybe something special since the timing is really strange!

You get done with mainwheel in a couple of months. No point in wasting resources on those outside of magfest.

>you are not supposed to do all magnas and hards every day
>but pls have a full, 10-15 SL grid of every element
KMR strikes again

Only do Magna that you currently need to focus outside Magfest
I.E. Wind for next GW. Light is special due to Chev sword so that one is open all the time but u can ignore it if you feel your resource is low.

>I want to get bored of this contents-less shit game asap
Welp

>just be incredible lucky and have a finished grid that can mvp magnas.

plenty of people in my crew started around 3rd anniversary and have SL10 grids and 1-2 SL15 grids while maintaining a healthy supply of pots and berries

So do you use axe(s) in magna wind for ubaha or only zephyrfags can apply?

>don't play the game
>this will make it really fun!
Welp V 2.0

Is there any info on how frequent chev sword drops are?

Yeah, top 50% of a raid's size sounds good. It really grinds my gears when I'm in top 10 at rank 54. Needing top3 to get fucking anything when many raids are either host limited per day or completely impractical for newshitters to be able to host to get fucking anything really irritates me. Also can't punish too hard unless you mean scaling min contribution to what the players who would be running it could actually put out while HL's are blowing the place up with strike times, skill nuke frontlines and shit

Speaking of, are the t1/t2 raids worth hosting for host drops when you still don't even have a magna grid? I struggle with the L50 rotating trial for scales and I have no idea how to get that many whorls when it'd be guzzling pots anyway. Dirt doesn't use a cosmo weapon/atma afaik so I wouldn't even be needing to run them for zoi hosting/toilet paper and perseus harps are a meme.

Magna has a lower hp gain and afaik I think more people are using f2p primal by that point. Who knows. Probably just an it depends on what summons you run, what you socked away during magnafests and if you kept buying the monthly sagi's. The atk bonus in addition to the health bonus is a pretty strong argument in its favor since it's less of a dead grid slot.

You are not supposed to play 24/7

thats one year ago

About as frequent as your parents say they love you. Sorry.

>You are not supposed to play 24/7
Huh?!

i'm in a pretty fuckin tight spot with fire characters
but even so, what's a good team comp to make with what i have here

its 3 months

Nice, we're im@s general now.

I wouldn't recommend hosting t1 until you can MVP macula/TE for their signature weapons.

yeah than you are full of shit

Only Zephyr for wind. If wind magna had a weapon like Ygg staves or Auberons then they could've applied. You can still apply if you have Thor and no damage as magna but I wouldn't encourage that because you'll literally do nothing other than using Thor once. Varunalords can carry your ass but still.

Another harp.

It's not about luck it's about being able to grab top 1-3 spots. Doing consistently more than doubles your progression overall. This only requires having Yoda for 2nd / 3rd on every magna besides Celeste.

Yes, only 16/7.

I think it's going to be one last batch of new summer characters. With the amount of summer characters now a general rateup for them isn't as appealing anymore, and we still got S.Will teased in that summer illustration and merch. If they weren't going to have him they could've used Ayer instead.

Why is thor core

You can co-op room hop for a somewhat shitty trickle of half-pots. Bring your placebos. Otherwise, having a dedicated slime group on 1/2 off can do the trick. As long as host responsibilities are shared everyone should come out ahead.

it's about 6 months you fricking fricks

>march 1st - august 27th
>3 months
/gbfg/ math strikes again

>You have to contribute 100k in hl baha to get any loot
>People will get 100k and fuck off
Solved nothing.

What is the easiest element to grind that is also powerful enough in you fine gentlemen's opinion

The reason why primals can run HP weapons better is because those weapons are normally acoompanied with a second skill that gives dmg.
Aside from Yugu sticks and Chev sword, all magna hp weapons are just hp, it will reduce your overall dmg alot if u just run a hp weapon.

wind

Dirt.

only zephyr for wind. Ubaha is very limited.

Earth.

We were always im@s.

magna earth no question

good skill fodder

That's rough, user. You could try Zeta for damage, Jessica for her 20% ATK buff if you're not playing Berzerker, and then a third character of your choice. Just note that Abby's pretty much a better Aliza (Event), Rackam's not that great, and I don't know enough about event Carren to say anything about her.

So we've gone from 1K average contribution to 100K
It's a 10,000% improvement, user!

>4 swords
EXPLODE

A year ago dirt was considered barely above sticks level

Where did it go right? Okto and Sarasa LB5 ?
