Hawk King Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Grand Conquest is now, potentially, the highest feather gaining mode for the short length of time it goes on for. And it certainly requires far less involvement than TT or VG. Being able to check the rank in Army in GC is really cool because we could potentially see people we know and coordinate attack strategies with them. Also we can better understand when to spend stamina and how effective it will be based on how high the other people's scores are. I really wish we had that update now because all of my units want different skillsets for GC than they do for Arena and other modes and it is a pain switching them all over.

ChickenBits Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Kudos to anyone who can consistently get the max score in the highest difficulty. I've been facing a lot of a crazy units and with the warping I can't even take more than one of the forts in some maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Was surprised to find out that when you max out one of the characters in Forging Bonds, the game stops spawning points for them. And here I assumed this mode was just going to be an rng mess to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm up to 4.5% on Maribelle's banner and really getting frustrated. It's taking to about 5% for every single 5* lately and they're almost all bad IVs on top of it. A sole -atk Lissa from the legendary banner kind of crushed my spirits as well.(I wanted to use her, not fodder) I'm not even seeing any good fodder, just more 3* Seth, Stahl and Gaius I have to throw out. If I can actually break my pity before the banner ends hopefully I can go back to saving, since summoning just hasn't been a good experience for a while now. Saying that, watch the upcoming seasonal having some characters I really like on it, just to taunt me again. I am at 4.75% pity rate myself and I am sick of it, I will quit once I get a 5* but I am starting to think that won't happen. I don't have a flying dancer so Olivia is who I am gunning for but I have only managed to pull her regular self so far. Here is hoping you and I both have our pity rate broken by who we want really soon. Unless the seasonal banner has some new unit type or Elphin I think I will skip it since I am about burned out on seasonal units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRay Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Heroes grossed $400 million in revenue so far. It got like $300 million last year, so it means it only grossed $100 million so far this year, which seemed to indicate that spending slowed down a lot.

I don't know how gatchas work, but it wouldn't surprise me if this was "normal" for the genre, a game is new and attracts a lot of players, many of whom drop off once the immediate luster wears off. I severely doubt this is empirical support for either "This is proof alts are doing NOTHING/hurting this game!", or its opposite argument "We need MOAR Seasonals!".

I just remembered we've got that special August celebration thing starting too, so thank God for that. It's going to be sad if this banner expires before even a pity breaker shows up. I sure hope the seasonal will be an easy skip for me so I don't have to be too sad about having no orbs for it. They already hit some of my top characters with the past few seasonal banners, so at least those should be off limits for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I assumed this mode was just going to be an rng mess to complete. I know! I was also expecting an RNG mess, but was pleasantly surprised to see that the game would no longer give you points for the maxed character. Once I saw that, I took advantage of the 2x multiplier last night to max out the rest of the characters. It was fun, since I got to use my new Lucina. 6 hours ago, XRay said: Heroes grossed $400 million in revenue so far.

That's interesting, and, even supposing spending did slow down, it still is drawing in significant revenue. However, the analytics company that came up with the $400m revenue estimate also claims that the game's momentum "isn't waning in the slightest." They also point out that FEH brought in $23m in June, and that was the second highest earnings in a month for the lifespan of the game thus far. So, without knowing the spending distribution for the first year, it's hard to compare how this year is doing in comparison. We have 2-3 of the biggest events of the year yet to come: CYL 2, the start of Book III, and Christmas. Also, these are just estimates... I assume they're probably reliable, but it's difficult to know just how reliable they are, without actual data from Nintendo to confirm.

Sunwoo Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Fuck my Grand Conquest outrealm, truly. Just fuck it. Why the fuck is my +0 army going against so many fucking whales? There are too many units with distant counter and high merges for me to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never tend to use my own units for GC as it’s often suicide. Aside from a select few units they’re usually +2/3 at best or unmerged at worst. That’s what friends are for though. If you can’t beat them, hire them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I don't see them needing that many employees, or at least employees of the same kind as those needed for mainline development, to run FEH. So I don't see reason to worry, unless IS ends up being more stupid than the AI in the original Advance Wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding was that the Christmas season was a goldmine for these types of games. But maybe I'm off on that point, or maybe it's totally right. In either case, you appear to have completely missed the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humanoid Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Christmas profit is probably just people receiving Google Play/iTunes gift cards and immediately spending them on FEH? So it's not so much the banners being more attractive as such, just a lot of (virtual) money floating around that time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
