Another method of obtaining Zidane and Warrior of Light cards?

Will there ever be an alternative methods of obtaining said cards?

Getting really frustrated with the RNG.

Who knows?

But it's not a bad thing. Yes, it's frustrating, but it's also an MGP sink (until you have the cards). It also keeps you playing more if you want to collect all the cards. More play time = more potential sub money.

This is why an MMO is built upon the foundations of the teachings of RNGeezus. It's like a commandment: "Thou shalt have more subs."

Yea I hate this about the gold silver and bronze card packs, I've been trying to get a kobold for what seems forever and it just never comes it suck cuz even if I grind thousands of mgp a bunch of unlucky packs just runs thru it and your left just feeling like you wasted several hours of your time for the same cards you already had.

Yeah, I feel the same everytime I buy one and find out that I got another momodi/tenfingers/gerold or cid.

You're gunna hate me but I got a Warrior of Light card after a handful of gold packs. I had 12 total cards in my deck and 1 of them was Warrior of Light XD

The grind should be there for TT. Its a fun grind at that, so I'm not complaining.

The only proven ways of increasing your luck are sacrificing Lalas and petting Kitties.

/cry the update is ONE WEEK old and i couldn't got x item. you need to fix it ASAP!!

it's more some people don't like gambling or relying on luck, strange no?

I'm actually hoping for more card packs in the future as they introduce more new TT cards.

Grinding Trials and Dungeons are one way and TT challenge NPCs are nice but having a few exclusives in each section does serve its purpose being certain TT cards as exclusives for certain section of the game.

They don't like gambling and luck for an item used in a game that involves gambling and some luck? Strange no?

Honestly I don't disagree with what they are saying just find your reply a bit funny given that they are discussing a game that involves a bit of the two things you mentioned them not liking. I do agree that it couldn't hurt adding a alternate way of obtaining said items, but I also agree that it has only been a week. Why does everything have to be get it in a week or two and if you don't, complain that you can't?

NPC's and trial cards could use pseudo-rng fix though. It's really not cool when random person plays a handful of games at best and gets the super rare card while another guy spends hours and still doesn't get it. The same applies to the gold triad cards. I've probably spent close to 200k on them soon and I don't have WoL or Zidane and the returns for selling the cards aren't even 10% on the 4* you can get. Meanwhile I know of some that at least got one or the other within 20k MGP.

It just leads to frustration and this form of RNG is exceedingly bad imo because MGP can also be used for other things and the longer it takes to get something because of RNG, the more MGP others who get lucky can spend on other things. If they want to keep this RNG, at least add some form of market board in Gold Saucer for TT cards and MGP. I'll be more than willing to sell some NPC/Trial rare cards for a cheap few thousands.

It's more like they want to keep content relevant, It would be pretty lame, if someone could get everything in the span of one spammed day. Yes, RNG can be in favor of someone. But I'd rather have the RNG and have people still constantly playing triple triad, instead of get one and done

I agree to this.

I was standing in the huge wall of likeminded people, challenging Elmer for the Bahamut card for the 1000th time. Then someone in chat supposedly got Bahamut from a bronze pack.

This entire set of sentences is wrong.

RNG means someone can complete it in a day; but also means that someone could NEVER complete it.

As for 'people keep playing it' - people aren't playing TT against other players for cards; there doing it for their daily 5 wins. It doesn't really impact you AT ALL if no one else on the server plays it or not. It's not like you get a bonus or a lower queue time because someones babysitting an npc for drops.

He was lying.

Been keeping track of all of the Gold Trial Packs I've bought since day one. Thus far:

Baderon Tenfingers 6
Mother Miounne 5
Momodi Modi 5
Ultima Weapon 4
Gerolt 6
Cid Garlond 2

The struggle continues. I love Triple Triad, but I definitely hate this. If I'd have kept all of the MGP I'd saved instead of spending it on something that seems like a 5% chance at a good card, I'd have a good portion of the new minions or Setzer gear. At this point I'm just continuing to buy packs out of spite because I feel like I deserve one of the two cards.

got 3 Onion Knight Cards from about 30 WoD runs this week. the fact that I have to do that many WoD runs in each week is way scarier than the chance to get that card.

Then do something you enjoy, don't go to a casino. Strange, no?

i do enjoy the triple triad (like a lot of people) but i hate this pocket stuff, i feel it's not needed, it's a way to add mgp sink poorly. by the way, the goal of the triple triad is not only collect all card, but play against people and beat them. the collection of card is only a means, not a purpose by itself.
anyway, like i have said in another thread the trouble lie in the fact that too many card are gotten via heavy RNG, leading to some example of extremely bad luck, like the person that have get more of 300 card on the soldier imperial npc without get gaius card one time.

anyway, what i have said is more a fact, other rng in the game are part of your action that lead you to have or not luck, here you only pay a pocket and let the luck decide, i find it bad on too many way. FF14 have become the rng land recently and i do hope it will change...

I did over 100 gold packs before i even saw Zidane.
My advice to players is not to focus entirely on getting MGP to get gold packs.

Rather, its better to focus on getting all the easier-to-get legendaries / 4 star cards first before you start going for the hard-to-get legendaries like Zidane/WoL.
Easier-to-get meaning legendaries from trials/dungeons and NPCs.
Of course, if you have already gotten all of those, then yeah its down to farming MGP and your luck.

I'm up to 73/80 cards. I finally managed to get a Zidane card a while ago, but I have yet to see a Warrior of Light. So many packs, so many 2-4-star cards. x_x

Not to mention, I have not seen a single Cecil, Tidus, Firion, or Nanamo card in Platinum packs.

Someday...

I had to buy a ton of packs just get to Lahabrea from the Silver packs. I'm cringing just thinking about blowing all my MGP on the Gold packs...

Yeah, it's really best now to just get Nanamo and Lahabrea from Platinum packs. They're pretty common enough, compared to the 4 contest win cards. You'll get Lahabrea and Nanamo for "free" eventually that way as long as you do the weekly tournaments.
