Heck, whatever job you have, I want to work there. Wait... by the end of February... WASN'T THAT THE MONTH THE GAME CAME OUT?!?!?!

Rezzy Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 5 hours ago, Infinite Dreams said: My opinion on the whole buying orbs thing: I strongly believe that money spent on something you enjoy is not wasted.  It is often said that buying orbs is like gambling.  The way I see it, most things in life are a gamble anyway.  You gamble when you spend money on a movie you don't know you'll like.  You gamble when you try something new at a restaurant.  You gamble when you spend a small fortune on a wedding for a marriage that may not last.  Just because something is a gamble, doesn't mean it's not worth doing.  Sometimes, things that we gamble on don't give us the result we want.  However, it can be fun to take the risk anyway. Some people blow $100+ in one night at a bar on drinks.  (Yes, I did this a few times when I was younger.)  All you have to show for it the next day is a hangover and maybe some nice memories.  Fancy restaurants can rack up a big bill too, and all you have after that is a full stomach.  Those are just a couple of examples of spending money and having nothing to show for it. To me, buying orbs is no different. I have spent money on the game (I'm a dolphin) and I don't regret it.  I have been playing this game every day since launch, and it has brought me a lot of enjoyment.  When the game dies eventually, the money will not have been a waste for me.  It was fun.  (Again, that's just my opinion. ) If nobody spent money, the game would have ended by now. 3 hours ago, SatsumaFSoysoy said: What's mid-range?

Quintessence Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Wow I roughly spend $40-60 USD per month, there at times I don't spend money because there isn't interesting stuff, etc. I don't feel bad because, ultimately, it is for my entertainment, I just try to not exceed myself nor restrict myself a lot. I invested like 30-45 USD to get all focus units on Celica's banner and I feel good. = EDIT = Shit I've spent like 100 on July between Mobius and Heroes, Heroes getting like 70% of it. I suck lol Edited July 17, 2017 by Quintessence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRay Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 4 hours ago, Ice Dragon said: This chart makes me feel like I have spent way too much money. It helps if you limit how often you look at your bank account and/or avoid doing calculations. It will also help to ignore the "Official Pull Topic," "How Many 4 Stars Do you Have?," "3* or 4* you can't seem to draw," and other threads that expose you to summoning percentages, money spent, and Orbs used. If you do not see the numbers, your mind will not be able to do any estimation. And if you do see numbers, be in denial. I do not know how much I spent on B!Cordelia and I feel great deluding myself into thinking I was lucky and spent way less. Just be sure to check the bank account occasionally to avoid any overdraft fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 1 hour ago, Zeo said: @Quintessence Well, that's not to say that Killer weapons don't have their niche, but for the most part, you don't see them, so I still feel the change effects the meta precisely 0%. Slaying weapons simply are viable alternatives to Wo Dao in the case of swords and... usable, in the case of bows and axes. You can argue power creep for Lances though, there are a few units that legitimately use that weapon. @LuxSpes I don't play gacha games really, this was my first and I am used to balance patches and the like from being a part of the fighting game community at one point. But I understand it's better for their bottom line that way. Why simply buff a weapon when you can just put it on a new unit people like and will potentially pay for? As far as killer weapon units having to SI in order to reach their full potential, 95% of them already had to do that, so this changes literally nothing in my opinion. @Kaden As I said there is a niche, and even some of the characters you named (such as Sheena) do have a primary use for the Killer weapons and in that sense it's invalidation. I don't necessarily agree with the chosen method, but I understand it. I don't think buffing Killer weapons by 3 MT would have shaken things up that much, conversely it does very little harm introducing stronger versions. It's just... a very money hungry method of doing things. That being said, if they release something like a HEROIC line of weaponry that's basically Brave weapons with 2 more MT, feel free to riot. You will get no opposition. The funny thing about Killer weapon is that: it requires a VERY specific line of units to make it shine. As far as pure numerical result goes, Killer actually is the optimal choice for some unit. Slayer serves to make that bar much lower which funny enough is healthy for the game, not healthy for your wallet  Hint: Killer Axe Hector is the GOAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punished Dayni Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Pretty damm clownfishy myself, barely convincing myself not to spend only once so far (9.5% 5* is a tempting number). Still spent €0. Praise the whales who are in control! Edited July 17, 2017 by Dayni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cute Chao Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 According to that chart, I'm a turtle xD (well, just doing a straight switch of dollars to pounds). I fully agree with everything InfiniteDreams said on the last page (especially about drinking and expensive meals... It's pretty much how I rationalise it in my head). I'd put more money into the game if I could, but currently I have other things I want to buy so I'm trying to curb my spending on it. We'll see, though. Pulling is rather addictive lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLNarshen Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Did they ever say how long the "Daily Quests" were going on for? I don't remember ever seeing an announcement for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix_Kensai Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I can't really spend money on the game for various reasons, but even if I could, I probably... okay, fine, I won't lie. I'd probably have dropped at least $50 this month for Summer Tiki. I've always wanted to say I would resist the temptation unless I had a lot of spare cash, because I don't think it's worth it, but there are exceptions to everything in life. I like the game, anyway, so I wouldn't mind supporting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatsumaFSoysoy Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) So, when will they release the Venge line of weapons from Fates?
