Medeus Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 3 minutes ago, NekoKnight said: Re: Gauntlet Mechanics, You can either have "match decided by a coin flip" or "popularity cruise control, predetermined winners". The only interesting matches in either system are accidents rather than design. The Gaunlet isn't going to be a legitimate competition until they do away with team sizes and focus on performance. Also, regarding secret voting, that would be even less of an interesting mode. Who would care about a sport where you can only see the ending? I'm hoping Ninian wins, but I'll accept it of she loses to an upset. It's a silly, flawed game mode. Honestly, I think focusing on performance would be best. Splatoon has a similar implementation with their Splatfest and while it isn't perfect it does mean that the larger team doesn't win by size alone, you also have to play well to get your team the victory. That should be what is rewarded the most in a game mode that's expected to have players constantly playing it, and it would address issues like players just dropping in for the feathers or not participating until the last minute/a strong multiplier is in play.

Yeah, maybe if we can just break it enough, it'll be so broken that people will think it's fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something seems wrong here. My 847,517 places me at 1,031 (alas!) in team Sophia and 5,689 total. But that was just before the final tally.

Korath88 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Well, if it's any consolation, I'm probably going to promote and build my 4* +Atk -HP Fae once I get the feathers and TA fodder required. More Reinhardt counters never hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracologist Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Good luck, everybody! May the best hero win! It's out of our hands now, but we can all rest easy knowing we did our best for the characters we love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bigger worry would be for anyone in Genealogy/Thracia/Binding Blade; with how many casual English fans play Heroes (who wouldn't know anything about the Japanese exclusives outside of Awakening and Heroes), they would practically drop like flies. 3 minutes ago, JJ48 said: Who cares about this "sport" as it stands now? Though admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of sports/competitions in general, so perhaps someone who cares about seeing any bit of them at all should weigh in. As a sport, this mode fails in almost every way. As a small side mode to mess around with, I don't think it's that big of a deal. In fact, I think that might be why this mode sees so much negative response in the more dedicated sides of the fanbase. Most of the people who play this game probably don't care much about who wins and who loses. They join the character they recognize most, they play some matches, and maybe get some feathers out of it. That's what I did when I played Heroes much more casually (including when the multiplier was added), and I always had fun with it. I still do, because I don't see any reason to get too attached to a specific team winning. The multiplier adds a bit more excitement to it for the casual player, so I doubt it'll be going away very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezanator Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I don't know if Sophia is going to win, but I enjoyed using her to destroy all the Brave Lyns, Brave Ikes, Hectors, all colorless and green units. I can't remember the last time I used regular Fem Corrin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Well, Ninian beat Fae, no surprise there. How did the other matches go? I wish it let us check from the game, like it does during the matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you won, you'll get victory feathers, if you don't get any, your team lost. I just got my ranking feathers, but no victory feathers. It should be ready now.

Anacybele Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) ...How the fuck did Young Tiki lose? I thought she was practically guaranteed a win. Well, there's nobody left for me to join now. Young Tiki, Fae, and Nowi ALL lost, it looks like. I don't care about anyone else enough to join them. Looks like I'm through here.

Korath88 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Final results: A!Tiki upset Nowi M!Corrin upset Y!Tiki F!Corrin and Ninian won as expected.

Hooray for the randomness caused by the multiplier! I'm kinda in the same boat though; I was either going to go for Young Tiki or Fae if Nowi lost. So... @Anime27Arts @Poimagic do either of you know what team you're going for next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, was it Ninian wins Male Corrin wins Big Tiki wins Female Corrin wins? I may go to male Corrin, since I have him at 5* and should be able to get more underdog feathers. Plus, I need to keep my streak of almost always being on the losing team going. For anyone on Male Corrin's team, I'll be staying with my Bridelia as my lead.

No one's forcing you to join another team. You'd be losing out on some feathers, but eh. I don't care. I refuse to support anyone left in this.
