I think it would be better if they changed the TT icon for an NPC to a different style after winning. Right now, the TT icon is totally removed after you win a card. For example, they could change it to blue or green when you beat the NPC instead of totally removing the icon on the map. What if I only won one of the cards and I forgot where the NPC is located(I know the zone, not the pos)? Yeah I could look it up online, but it would save me time to see it on the map.
yellow > unbeaten
blue > 1 card won (yes I know not all NPCs have two cards to give)
green > all cards won
At least this way they still show up on the map. Thoughts?
Change TT NPC icon instead of removing on map

Yeah, I agree. This would be a very convenient change.

An excellent idea, but considering how quickly so many people will have already beaten every NPC and acquired most of the cards in the first month of release... I can't see SE devoting time to this any time before Heavensward. Given that, I'd love to see it arrive as a QoL change when they introduce more cards after the first patch or so of Heavensward though! :D

Good idea. I would like to know when Swift, for example, is up.
I have beaten him many times but I've yet to claim the Raubahn card. He seems to be open only during very inconvenient times and I seem to need to camp him any time I really want to play against him.
Considering I go to Ul'Dah a lot, but not always to the Immortal Flames Headquarters, it would be nice to see some kind of marker to know whether he's available for play or not.
Like Swift I think it would be very helpful to know when any time locked NPCs are open, regardless of whether you have beaten them once or not. -

I agree. This would be nice.
I'm pretty sure it's removed after you've won a game, regardless of whether you won a card.Quote:

In that case, show the original "unbeaten" version of the icon.)
So the conditions end up more like:
yellow > unbeaten (might or might not have their card drops)
blue > beaten but don't have all the cards they can drop
green > beaten and have all the cards they can drop -

Correct, Icon is gone once you have won. A nice little way to keep track of whether or not you have beaten said NPC while getting Squall. I like the idea of color coding, but as someone said, might be a stretch with other things coming out that possess more weight.

Totally agree with Niwashi and Trunks!

03-18-2015, 03:40 AMFrost_TrunksI have been using a couple websites to track my progress. I just stumbled on this one today, it's laid out much better than the original one I was using:Quote:

This is the old one I was using, not bad but needs improvement. I like the NPC timers on the first link better. It just seems better organized.

How is everyone progressing? I am at 55 cards. I have Squall too as my ace. Working at the 60 cards to allow for 3 * cards (planning on a primal deck!). It's quite the grind for those final few. I still need Chimera and Succubus from dungeons (Succubus via NPC too). WoD Onion Knight would be next in line. I am running out of NPCs to play that aren't time based pops. I have dropped at least 25k on gold booster packs with no luck. I might go for silver next to try and get Tataru and/or Lahabrea. Gold packs just gives me the finger, every time. I read in the producer notes they are planning on modifying the TT NPC's difficulty with 2.55 at the end of the month. As well as MGP payouts. Hopefully it will ease the grind a little. Right now I grind the Indolent Imperial at the N Thanalan / Mordhona zone for MGP. He's easy with a beastman asc deck + Squall.

Currently I am stuck at 44. Hab is being an undead DB and won't cough any up, and my deck is missing Kan-e so my % ins't too high on him. The guy in N. Grid won't give up Kan-e which is the last card I need from him. A few NPC's here and there are giving me ugly drop rates. I would like a 3* deck before the next implementation of TT lol.

Even though I know where all the NPCs are, this would still be helpful, especially with the ones who only play at a certain time. I still use another website to keep track of them, but still would be easier if there was some kind of sign when the NPCs are available to play on the map.
My progress is I'm at 45 cards. Haven't played TT in a couple days, but working on getting Gaius, Louisoix, Hildibrand & Odin cards, which so far are a pain to get, especially the Random Rule players. Then afterwards, work on the GC NPCs to get theirs. I already got Leviathan on my 1st try, now to get the rest. After all that, the dungeon ones. -
03-18-2015, 09:18 PMFrost_TrunksHab is a stingy sob. It took me a good hour of grinding on a couple different days to get the Hildy card. Altho I made a mice mint on all the Thancred and Godbert cards he dropped.Quote:

Actually, now that I look at the list again, once I can play the NPC from the Ixal tribe I can grind Cid and if I am feeling lucky I can try my luck at the booster packs. Plus some primal grinding, which also has a terrible drop rate. Ugh -

All they need is to make a TTT (Triple Triad Triangulator) setting in the UI or a toggle.
The thought is that this would work exactly like Harvesting job where it appears on the mini-map / full map.
/tttoggle
Triple Triad display on
/tttoggle
Triple Triad display off
