Ack, seems I am destined to be injured every season

Oh yeah! Actually putting up a good line now that I'm on a good team

Are those ratings based on OVR or your personal judgement or something else?

I meant in terms of draft capital. Unless an 84 is way better on current maddens than old ones

That seems a horrendous overpay by them

Oh no

Back from injury in time for us to challenge for the 1 pick

Seems I can't ever get a full healthy season in

Only 44th. Gotta start running more!

Hooray for a win!

Oof, was gonna vote when I got home :(

Hooray for mediocrity playoff qualification!

Dolphins somehow in playoff contention. How

Dealing with USPS and sellers is a pain in the ass.

I had something returned to sender today. USPS didn't tell me why and the tracking still says out for delivery. Buyer says the address is accurate. Google maps shows up a slightly different address when I search it (It's the corner of 2 streets, buyer says address is the names combined and google does not)

I'm going to be mad if it gets returned again as I offer free shipping and it's like $15 to ship each time.

I hit my eBay selling limit this month. Hoping they raise it. Right now I'm at 100 items and $9500. I listed 100 items and like $8500.

How many tins did you end up buying? You somehow have way more packs than I do

I ended up with like 80-100 tins. I forget how many. The tins are just piled up in a cupboard right now.

When I listed my final packs in lots of 10 they all sold within 12 hours

I'm down to my last 32 packs of Hidden Fates

Trying to decide whether to sell them in 4 lots of 8 or 3 lots of 10 and then open 2. Probably go with the latter since I've sold like 300 packs whilst resisting the temptation to open any

Sign up yo!

Is Champions Path going to be like HF where you can only get packs from boxsets and can't buy boosters individually?

Also either my USPS office doesn't give a shit or I stumbled across a ridiculous shipping loophole. I typoed on my shipping label weight today so went in to pay the excess. It would have been like a $5 difference. She scanned it and said 'It will just charge your account' and gave me a receipt for $0. So either she didn't charge it or it charged the eBay shipping account which if so has to happen on such a regular basis that there's no way they chase it up with the sellers.

You planning on investing in Champions Path when that starts coming out?

Also theres a reprint of Sun & Moon Ultra Prism that hit stores recently. It's like 13 bucks for a box of 3 packs.

Where are you seeing them for $13 for a 3 pack? I see theme decks for $13 but I can't find packs for less than $6 each at a quick glance

Sold 36 Hidden Fates packs on ebay for $350. Like 1 second after I hit purchase shipping label (Which is $14 with insurance) I realize the buyer is in not only in Orlando but is 10 minutes drive from me and literally enroute to work. Probably adds like 45-60 secs to park up, drop it off and hop back into my car.

Now I don't know whether to physically drop it off or not as I can't refund the shipping and it will show as undelivered via tracking if I don't use it. Guess I kinda have to send it through the post service now.

Thought I'd do better at the fire raid but guess it really is tough. Falling in the 25-50k contribution range. Probably because I'm using 3x 80s and 1x 90 hero. At least it's good enough for max boxes

I know that most of my friends and family in England are pissed about the masked orders that are going in place there and think it's ridiculous they have to do it. I've seen very little in support of it on Facebook and probably 75-80% of my friends list is based in the UK

I've harped on inter-sport comparisons before (why is soccer supposedly safe, but football definitely not?), so here's a new one

Why is it safe for baseball to travel around the country and play in everyone's home stadium, but not safe for hockey or basketball to do that?

This aged well. We are already seeing just how safe it was for baseball to return. The fact that they let players who tested positive still play is also baffling

Your point isn't very strong. He would have been investigated and had to quarantine as long as necessary regardless. You just want things to fail for some reason so you can say I told you so. It's actually a very weird thing to want.

I don't think the NBA bubble will fail but they have not been consistent in the length of time players have to quarantine for breaching the bubble.

Richaun Holmes crossed the bubble line by like 10ft to grab delivery food - 10 Day Quarantine

Lou Williams leaves bubble for a funeral (and goes to a titty bar) - 10 Day Quarantine

Zion Williamson leaves bubble for a family matter - 4 Day Quarantine

Realistically Zion should have had to quarantine for longer in my opinion.

Honestly I wish there was more cards that fucked with opponents hands

Not that Glide is remotely balanced

I wish they would just tell us if they were extending UBI or not.

From what I understand, it isn't even getting reviewed in time to be extended. So if it does get extended it will be a mess. First they will need to backdate and second they will need to evaluate and alter all the payments since people seem to think if it is extended it will be income based so that people aren't earning more at home than they would at work. People probably won't see the money for weeks after.

Least that's what I've read

So apparently Memoria Stones that give +OL give that +OL every turn. That will make the Summer Kanonno Memoria Stone really good I think (+24 per turn)

Up to 20k gleamstones now. Tempted to pull just to try improve my substone pool.

Yeah, whilst you can run out of stamina fast it seems like if you loop both AP and BP you can and will spend the vast majority of the day playing the game.

Like I'm up to 39 BP right now and it would take me hours to get through that by which point my AP would be high again and I'd hit another BP refresh.

I enjoyed Velvet's side story a lot. They captured her character well. In general the game has been good at taking Tales characters and integrating them into a new setting.

Seriously though, is there any way to actually get gels

Reliably? No.

Gleamstone exchange gives you 3 full restores for 40 gleamstones (once daily)
Shard exchange lets you convert 1 silver shard to 10 AP (10 times a week)
Raid excahnge lets you convert 100 silver medals to 10 AP (10 times a week)
Arena exchange lets you convert 50 mdels to 10 AP (10 times a month)

Other than that I think you are limited to Missions/Challenges and straight up spending gleamstones.

From what I've seen:

1 AP = 100 Exp.
On Hard mode (story) you get an additional 100 Exp on top (so 6AP = 700 exp)
On Very Hard mode (story) you get an additional 200 exp on top (so 7AP = 900 exp)

So you haven't missed out too much really. The bonus exp for hard and very hard doesn't seem to apply to non story areas like gald and power up.

Just tried and VH2 is a no go. Too much incoming damage. Maybe once I have everyone level 70+ or actually start levelling substones.

It did give me an AP refund though so I am going to assume you either get AP refunded on your first loss or maybe once you have cleared an area, if you lose to it after you no longer get refunded.

Man, I wish the Gald crunch wasn't so bad or there was a way to convert excess tems to gald (can sell excess memoria upgrade items but they are worth like 20 gald). I had like 150k gald and started levelling up some skills from 3 > 4. By the time I had done 3 people, it was all gone.

I can at least auto VH1 Gald, going to try VH2 but even that doesn't seem to tide you over that well.

So the reason nobody got arena rewards is that you have to fight a minimum of 40 fights to qualify and they forgot to include it in the English translation.

40 fights a week seems a lot because for a person logging in once a day they would only hit 30

That's part of the reason I haven't pulled. I got 6 SSRs from the get go so I'm fairly set. Even if I got another SSR I wouldn't have the materials or gald to use on them anyway, it's already tight just to keep my main 4 going.

My substones are trash and that's kinda why I'm tempted to pull because being able to field more of the same weapon type seems a sizable boost and right now all I can do is 4/4/1. But I'd imagine we will get farmable substones which could fix that a little bit.

I'm still over here with my gleamstone hoard of 17k since I haven't pulled after the initial set yet

Info available in game about the summer heroes.

Veigue is a hit generator with both skills hitting 15 and 10 times. MA hits 13 times but is AOE

Kannono is a hybrid. One skill is a heal, one is damage and her MA is AOE.

Both get +50% ATK in the upcoming event which has SSR Farrah and SR Reid Memoria stones. No idea if it's 1 only or farmable. Those memoria stones give bonus attack for the even too.

Summon and event starts Wednesday

So I'm curious, how did they handle the eye for the eye thing? Like how did they have it happen?

I think they just drop from normal quests so you basically have to find the stages they drop from and farm them I guess?

I haven't been able to donate gald yet yeah. I'm just always out of it :(

Make sure you donate at least 10k a week. Missed it last week but noticed today one of the weekly missions gives 100 gleamstones for donating 10k. And you also need to clear that to get your weekly free summon ticket. Really should have checked that before it ticked over today as I am pretty sure that was the only one I was missing for the week last week.

Also people should at least try donate max in the items per day. Every time the guild ranks up you get 5k points which is enough for 1 full multi on guild summon and you can get some decent stuff from it

Oh and I imagine it's not difficult for them to do but there's already different element versions of characters in game. The guest Velvet in her sidestory 5-6 is Water.

Has anyone done Velvet's sidestory? 5-5 seems such a crapshoot, even on normal, to get the clear with no allies KO'ed. The guest Velvet it gives you gets like one shot in 1 round so you basically you need her to not get targeted. But she's the weak element and from what I've seen the AI likes to target them.

Last three pulls I've gotten one SSR. Would be more annoyed if I didn't already have a full team I like (and if I hadn't already done an extensive experiment where at one point I got six full-pulls in a row with no SSR).

Some of you are bulldozing your way through this game. I'm playing a fair amount and am currently in Chapter 3 with everyone around Level 25.

It really doesn't take a whole lot to go from level 25 to 60. A couple of runs of the daily dungeon will massively boost any character. I haven't even started CH3 yet but my team is all 57-62.

From what I understand, there's only 4 chapters currently (plus side stories)

Yeah, Gald is easily my biggest stumbling block right now. I have lots of materials I can use and no gald to do so.

It doesn't help that apparently if you fail the Gald dungeon, it still eats up your AP. So either the AP refund on defeat only applies to certain things or possibly only your first failure. Took me a while to realize it was eating my AP up as it's hit and miss whether I can clear Very Hard 1 but then after a failure, it prompted me that I was out of stamina and I knew I should have had way more.

I genuinely don't understand the argument for not wearing masks. They are barely a mild inconvenience. If you're anti-mask then even if you're right, worst case you are mildly inconvenienced. However, if you're wrong then by not wearing a mask you possibly contributed to people getting seriously ill or dying.

Like I live in Florida where it's bastard hot. I've had double lung surgery in the past and I've already had COVID. If anyone would have an argument for not wearing a mask then it would be me. Yet I still wear one.

Just had Velvet do a finishing MA after Leon, Lloyd and Kanonno all did a MA. It did disgusting damage. And it didn't count because it was the last round of a raid so mob must have already been dead.

Doing Hard Mode clears you out of stamina quick. Went back and started doing the CH1 Hard mode, everything dies super quick and without any story to read you just burn through stamina at 6 AP a fight for 700 EXP

Full cycle is 1200. It's 150 > 150 > 300 > 300 > 300

Dupes aren't terrible but yes you could switch banner.

Ok did a little research on the sub stone grid

Element Match

Substone non-matching element = 10% of substone stats
Substone matching element = 15% of substone stats

Weapon Match - Gives the listed bonus stats based on the characters base stats

In the Beta the character had to match the weapon type but now it just applies to all characters so now there is no ambiguity about it. The best strategy is to equip 9x of same weapon type (if possible). Here's the known bonuses of full weapon grids

Wearpon - (HP% / ATK% / DEF%)

Sword - 25/10/10
Longsword - 14/18/14
Dagger - 15/10/20
Dualblades - 10/17/17
Martial - 18/14/14
Gun - 16/19/10
Longstaff - 8/18/18
Spear - 14/10/20
Axe - 15/22/6
Bow - 20/14/10
Staff - 22/13/8
Artes - 10/10/25

Instrument/Hammer/Support unknown right now
