KatarinaCS1 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I'm pretty sure a lot of us Veronica players had 400 flags for this last hour, given the incredible lack of multipliers this whole gauntlet lol. Turnout may be surprising. I think at this point the biggest change I'd like to see to this mode is a removal of the score posting every hour. I'd like to see the score only posted at the end, when a victor is determined. Implement a new system that gives players an indication who is "ahead", but isn't clear by how much they are. This to me would at least give a better illusion of "Maybe we can catch up! Let's rally harder!" Also, multipliers need to go, as they've consistently killed my drive to be remotely interested in this mode outside of rewards and really ruins the whole "popularity" part of this event. I say this as someone who loves less popular characters, because victories with those characters via multiplier doesn't feel like a victory to me.

I do think the cap is too high, and I also think the threshold for when it gets triggered is too small. It should go back to the 10% threshold. Or if not, maybe 5%. I am not sure about the threshold, 10% seemed a bit too wide I think. However, the current 1% is rather thin. I would certainly be willing to try it at 5% and see what it changes.

He's not liked much nor disliked. I'll always love him lots, but yeah. I never expected him to be in many gauntlets either way. He was in one, btw, the summer one. He just got very narrowly screwed by Gaius. Oh, shows how much of a joke summer gauntlet was that it got subconsciously stricken from my memory. Now I remember the outrage from Gaius having knocked out Frederick and Leo by the grace of a bullshit mechanic. Thank goodness, actual point of the mode prevailed in the end.

Alkaid Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Really, the worst thing about the mode is that it's basically non-content. The simple 3v3 matches are nothing. The main "content" for VG is actually reading the forums. At least TT and GC there's something to actually play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to see that Frederick's team was bigger though, and pleased. I remembered Gaius generally being more popular. I guess maybe over time, people just started liking Frederick a bit more? He is also pretty dang good in Heroes and has lots of funny moments in every game he's been in.

Usana Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Uggh. . . trying to get last minute battles in is kind of annoying. I almost didn't make it because the enemies were refusing to run in and suicide on A.Tiki. They just kept moving around each other and coming in one at a time drawing the match out a few extra moments. I would have had plenty of time but my phone sat at match in 0 minutes for ages on the first battle this hour so my second match was at :58 instead of :51. Yeesh. Total Rank 18148 Rank in Army 8752(I climbed up and got extra feathers! Yay!) And Ephraim won by less than 2%. Bleh.

Anacybele Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Veronica was a bit closer to us in the end than I thought, but Ephraim WON. It's official! Got mah victory feathers! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaid Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Veronica pulled a lot of points the last hour, but it wasn't quite enough to beat another multiplier. Oh well, I ranked pretty low too since all but 1 multiplier happened while I was asleep this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulWeaver Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Well, overall not the worst week I've ever had with VGs. As for the obligatory screw-this-mode-I-hate-its-guts thing everyone seems to feel obligated to do, I've still yet to have a Gauntlet I wasn't satisfied with my Round 1 chosen character's performance in - and I'm one of the dudes who obstinately backed Roy knowing his win chance was slim even with the Multiplier. To be honest, I think both of Roy's rounds were the best rounds in each of their respective Gauntlets - we freaking almost beat Ike, and I didn't hear anyone from either team complaining for any reason, and I saw roughly the same from Ephraim's battle.

Rezzy Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 How exactly many points did Veronica get last hour without the multiplier? It looks like it was more the Ephraim got some hours with the multiplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTroll Maxim Lapierre Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Ephraim confirmed. Feels so good to pick him AGAINST ALL ODDS. And yes, Spring Kagero vs Alphonse remains the only one where the 7.5 multiplier failed to secure a victory, AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Oof, I was on the losing team all three times. Oh well. Top bracket for Team Veronica and fairly high in global ranking too, surprisingly. That Ephraim doesn't pick fights he can't win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a bear Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 is it too late to play Voting Gauntlet think I ended up using like 1600 total flags across the entire thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmy Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 it is a bit discouraging losing this when i was already disappointed i don't have a tempest bonus unit and not interested at all in the free ones. guess i'll go into hoarding mode for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Zero Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 It was quite close despite the 7.5 rubber band. Meh, feedback sent. VG and the disaster known as Relay Defense should both be scrapped entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to show this for all us Ephraim fans to be proud of! He finally got some glory in this after getting walloped in his first appearance and then screwed in round one in his second one! <3 @AbsoluteZer0Nova I know, right? :D Edited September 11, 2018 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
