Board 8 > Fate/Grand Order Topic 9: Mystic Eyes and Knives

(+) Yeah! (+)

Anybody know which America free stage has dragons? I just need to kill like 4 more to be done with Master Missions. I am maybe halfway through America Im guessing

Never mind found one on my second try. I have been way too slow going through America. Its been pretty good, but Ive been playing other games and using less time on this

I actually really like that this game is not demanding with my time.

Aye, this is a big part of what keeps me playing every day, funny enough. The fact that you can wake up, take a few minutes to do a few dailies and then be in the clear until night time is super nice. Other games I've played are so demanding with your time it becomes a huge pain in the ass to try to be optimal with work and everything else to consider.

Once I stopped worrying about NRG efficiency it did wonders for my enjoyment and sanity.

Finished Ch.14 out of 22 for America apparently.

New Master Missions are out. Maybe another week of no content?

Yeah I think being energy efficient is pretty unnecessary when an event isn't going on. I've basically been letting my stamina overflow for the past couple of weeks. It's good to have recharge times.
---

Since we're at a stretch where there's not much to do but dailies... what are folks' typical daily habits?

I do the 30/40 AP for embers and then the 40 for training/QP, then just repeat the 40 embers until the day is done. But I'm only really doing that because I have a ton of servants I want to get leveled up/maxed out - I'm honestly not sure what the best practice would be if that wasn't my priority.
---

been doing free quests some to grind for mats

which is the worst

don't do this unless you have a reason to

your habits are much better shake
---

Personally I do the 40 AP Training thing as much as I can be assed to

Which has been 0-1 times a day for the past week or two.

Now if I was optimally spending my AP I'd probably do what you do once I had all free quests and interludes done, except replacing repeat 40 embers with 40 training.

keep doing a few story stages a day in hopes of getting to america before the next event

#casual

We're indeed getting the Cu Alter banner this week. Probably means Jalter announcement over the weekend.

The half AP doors quest ends at 4/4 359 UTC. Looks like a good spot to start the Da Vinci event.
---

Aniplex gets more shit by the day. Yay.
---

guess I'll wait and see if Jalter banner will pop up before Cu Alter's ends
---

Cu Alter and Edison are cooler than jeanne alter anyway tbqh
---

Even Caster Cu was cooler than Cu Alter tbqh
---

Cuzilla is the coolest

Newest JP update:

You can now exit out of the Command Card Menu in battle.

So just finished America's story the other day. Don't know what the common consensus is but thoughts on the singularities so far

America - Huge step up from the previous stories. Engaging storyline, nice showcase of characters, and got me interested in characters I wouldn't care about just on concept alone. Surprisingly easy given I'm a relatively new character with few high level characters. Hopefully future content is along these lines because it was a pleasant surprise.

Okeanos - This one was fun, not as good as America but it was a nice pirate adventure with some good showings of characters. A pretty solid 2nd place overall.

Orleans - I feel like there was a solid base here but it didn't quite nail it. Like, the idea for the story is fine but it seems like servants are just kind of popping up all over the place and leaving just as quick with no real impact at all, and some of the ones that are there are present but don't really have many memorable traits. Still enjoyable overall.

London - Didn't really like this one. This and Rome take some of the flaws of Orleans and exacerbate them. Characters pop up, say a couple lines, and promptly leave the story. The main plot seems to just consist of kind of aimlessly wandering around, fighting generic mobs constantly. It also has probably the biggest anticlimax of a finale gameplay wise introducing bosses with zero presence earlier in the chapter.

Rome - I didn't really like it when I played it and it's only aged worse with time. There really wasn't much of a story here, just seemed like you go around with Nero facerolling everyone and honestly wasting neat character concepts on completely forgettable interactions. The idea of a singularity with guys like Leonidas, Spartacus, Julius Caesar, Boudica, Caligula, Lu Bu, Romulus sounds like it should be great, but you just kind of blaze through it while people praise Nero as some amazing emperor then exit the story. This is probably the only one I actively disliked, and I'm glad there's been an upturn since then.

I just fought Cu Alter for the first time and it was so ridiculously easy it felt like I was fighting a lv1 goon. I beat him in 3 turns and he didnt even do more than like 100 damage to anybody because he attacked Herc who I have equipped with the Mash Valentines CE lmao

Septem is widely considered the worst singularity in the game because of the Nero wank.
---

Okeanos gets my vote for worst

Cuzilla banner is up. Godspeed.
---

Yeah, Rome and London are by far the two worst Singularities. Considered that way by just about everyone. The writing is really low tier.
---

Yay!

YOU HAD A HELENA ALREADY???

argh

Got Arjuna with my 2nd ticket. Damn you rate up, I already have two archers, and I wanted Archoria and Ishtar...
---

On the last chapter, but I ran out of AP so I will have to finish it tonight. Cu Alter is seriously way too easy to beat.

argh

Yeah, it sucks because I dont like her at all
---

@swordz9 none of FGO's story chapters have been written by Nasu
---

Really? I heard the exact opposite from everything on the Internet....

I thought Nasu eventually starts writing them on the regular but hasn't written any yet or has only written America?
---

Nasu takes the lead at Camelot and Babylon.
---

Man everything I saw online made it sound like he did all the writing...I guess he just has super heavy influence in the scenarios and stuff if he didnt actually write the content. Like even translated interviews I remember people posting around the web had him talking about how he set the early areas to times where humanity was still developing and how from area 5 or 6 onward it was gonna be like the crazy Fate stuff fans know and love. I feel lied to or mislead :(

didn't the writer of Apocrypha do America? or am I thinking of a different chapter
---

Higashide of Apocrypha, erm, fame, wrote America.

Nasu becomes the main writer starting with the next singularity.
---

Sorry swordz, I lied. Nasu actually did write Fuyuki. :p

Also wrote several events. Moon Festival, Saber Wars, Christmas, and KnK. I'd say he's done pretty well with those (other than Moon Festival, which he had to write in a day...).
---

Oh. Anyways I finished America. Last chapter was still pretty easy. Just some free quests left now and then uh guess I can do some interludes or half AP stuff

I want that Jeanne Alter banner. Finally hit 150 quartz and we get more tickets from the shop really soon too. That should be put me at 5 quartz multis and 4 ticket multis since I kinda doubt Ill be at 180 quartz or anything before the banner happens unless were supposed to get a fair amount from any event before then?

10 quartz from Sakuracon this weekend.
---

Oh neato. Hmm wonder if I have 20 quartz left of interludes. Probably not since Ive neglected a lot of Servants >_>. I sure do need a LOT of horse shoes lately

Oh snap 59,000 away from my first Bond lv10 (Cu). Artoria is like 170,000 away I think.

Under the radar announcement:

http://fate-go.us/news/?category=NEWS&article=/iframe/2018/0330_timeformatchange/

The time for the resets will remain the same, they're merely changing the time for UTC to PST for notifications.
---

Thank god a much easier mental time conversion for me and probably many other Americans/people on this side of the world

Feels like that move makes it seem like Aniplex has just given up on releasing it to the rest of the world.

Then again Brave Exvius uses Pacific Time for its announcement and that's out globally.

I've been use to UTC for awhile, so it doesn't matter to me one way or another. Though I guess since I'm on Pacific Time, it's easier for me this way.

That said, converting UTC is sure as hell at lot easier than converting Japan time, which I periodically have to do.

My thoughts exactly, such a welcome change.
---

fuck yeah now i can log in daily and not play and get my rewards even more easily
---

The scheduling of Daily Quest and Master Mission turnover, login bonus distribution, Command Spell replenishment, the daily free Friend Point Summon, Mana Prism Shop restocking, etc. will not be affected by this change. Only the display time has been changed.

Good luck with that.
