Posting this to check if this is "Working as Intended" or not. I've beaten Fufulupa in Camp Horizon 37 times so far and I've gotten 1(Thats "one") 1-Star card from him. A Coblyn. Meanwhile he's rocking Raubahn, Thancred, Tataru, Momodi etc....multiple 2 and 3 star cards.

Wahaha I literally just saw you shouting in Central Thanalan about this 10 minutes ago.

02-24-2015, 09:29 PMMortechaiYeah, it's pretty bad. This is the one feature I gave a crap about in this whole patch series and for it to be this awful is kind of a letdown :<.Quote:

I don't understand how card game playing had to hide behind RNG barriers too? Couldn't it have been designed otherwise considering it's something that can have unlimited fun by challenging other players and stuff? Hell they could have put it in duty finder to randomly match you with someone. I don't mind MGP grinding I guess like doing duty finder matches can give you some. But why the RNG?? RNG is soul sucking and drains the fun out of everything like a succubus.

I've not found an opponent who wasn't able to use multiple 'rare' cards. Meanwhile, the game throws a fit if I even so much as TRY to smuggle an extra 2-star card into my otherwise mundane hand. Apparently this restriction eases up once you have 30 cards... but getting those cards is surely the hard part? Especially when your opponents are all apparently without restriction. After all, 30 cards means you own nearly half the entire set!
You can trade MGP for a random chance at a common card, but it costs over 500 MGP, so you'd need to constantly max out your points and then get some extra just for a chance. Incidentally, I got 3 coblyns doing this. Yay. There aren't many good starter opponents either. You can beat the king if you're lucky with the 'Plus' rule, but the cards you win are largely rares which you can't even use more than one of.
The game itself is solid enough, but there definitely needs to be more low strength opponents to test your mettle against which don't require you to have every high level card in the game or abuse rulesets just to stand a remote chance. -

Bleh so far it's a little lame, spamming opponents for a chance to get a card, I know it just came out but still, I'm getting duplicates of cards I already have and there just the low level ones.
Maybe I'll have to run some high level content and hope to get a card or two from there? *shrugs*
Maybe TT isn't for me -

I hope I can earn enough good cards to have a chance to win the Lightning card in the next tournament ^^

To provide some feedback/suggestions for Triple Triad, I think it would help a lot if they included a "star system" as a way to rank opponents. For example, an opponent who can use any two star cards with a single three star card would be displayed as a "two star" opponent when approached with a challenge. This would help gauge which opponents provide an appropriate challenge, but to take it a step further, I think it would be even better if there was a sense of progression. Meaning that a novice player who is just getting started wouldn't even have the option to challenge a four star opponent until they themselves can use a four star deck. Initially after unlocking Triple Triad the only opponents with the icon displayed would be one star opponents, then once the next rank is unlock new two star opponents become available to challenge or even previous one star opponents can be challenged again with a new two star deck in their possession while providing new rewards.

Well, you are lucky to have gotten 1 card from Fufulupa. I just counted my wins, 67 wins and nothing dropped.
Is this NPC bugged? -
03-04-2015, 02:32 AMStarrywisdom
I'm at 425ish(stopped keeping track at 400) and actually have not seen 1 drop. Whereas I see peoiple complaining theyve got 20 drops but not the right one. Terrible RNG is terrible.

If you want Thancred maybe try Hab in Southern Thanalan (24, 40)

Maybe Fufulupa's drop rate is just lower I don't know. -

Sorry but this always comes to my mind when I read these threads.

03-04-2015, 02:52 AMBluejayAs a warning about packs. I won 2nd place in the lottery last week (116,000 MGP). So I did the logical thing... I bought 40 Gold packs.Quote:

( Which nets me 800+ MGP) along with all the MGP I got within those 5 hours, so it's worth the time.
I also got 16 Ixals (1 stars) in roughly an 1hr.
If it was a problem getting these cards I would understand the RNG issue. But I been getting duplicates of the same thing. Which to me says the RNG isn't bad, it's just your getting really really REALLY bad luck.
Now 4-5 star cards are another thing all on it's own. 4 stars I can get ( in a reasonable time frame). 5 star cards ( non silver-boarded) Can take me anywhere from 1.5-3 hours ( so far for me, which netted me Bahamut/ Gaius)<---- both took 1.5-3 hours each.
I haven't been able to get Terra ( been farming that for 20+ runs with no dice). So the Silver Boarded cards are the ones with absurd drop rates.
This is all from personal experience anyways. -

1100+ wins against the imperial to get gaius. Still hasn't dropped. Stop complaining.

NPCs don't drop everything they have.
-
03-04-2015, 07:01 AMAtreidesYou don't need cards for that, you can do it with 5 cards, in order to win the tournament as it is now, you need to cheat the system and make high ranking people lose on purpose to you.Quote:

03-04-2015, 09:07 AMDiana_PepperRofl. I had minimum of 2500 games (approaching 3000 or possibly over. Lost count. o.o) before I found Gaius. Was about 36-40 hours over the course of 4 days, playing Indolent Imp...Quote:

OP: I actually found Thancred within 10 or under turns playing Fufu... (RNG I know :/) but I do agree with the person above saying that Hab in S. Thanalan is the way to go. He has a higher drop rate. About 6 Thancreds and 4 Godberts before I found Hildi. (30-40 games. RNG again I know ><) -
03-04-2015, 11:00 AMOoshimaHab rains down Thancreds and Godberts like candy. Just not Hildi.Quote:

Maybe RNGesus took pity on me about Shiva and gave me Kan-E and Merlwyb last night :rolleyes:
But still. That fucking last card. I don't want to burst my MGP on Silvers to get that Taru Taru cos I want my bunny/gambler set :/
Seriously git gud. 30 cards aren't even difficult, I collected them within 2 nights of gameplay without doing the bronze booster pack spam (I bought at most 15 booster packs, bronze/silver/gold included). There are several easy NPCs out there that drops 1*-2* cards, beat them and collect them first.Quote:
