they went nuts on the new npcs. RANDOM RULE OR CHAOS IS ON EVERY NPC. come on SE. obivious RNG love over there. and oped decks like hell too.

Thankfully they're pretty simple to farm. Having bad luck on RNG currently but atleast getting the wins for the chance isn't hard

The Aery drops Nidhogg (5*) card.

90 Card Achievement. Still can only have 1 4 or 5 star for deck

Almost thought Nidhogg would never drop his card, gained almost 2 full levels and the Panda Minion before card

OMG if that isn't doctored really sucks.. It would have leveled the playing field on a lot of NPC to get the last few 5 star cards..


You need to post a screenshot when you get all 100.. maybe thats the new limit.

30 > 60 > 100?

The other 2 limits we're Achievement Based so no reason it would be @100.

Byblos Drops from The Great Gubal Library just got it

Anyone having trouble with Yayake Uldah Regional is Reverse on Jenova making him very easy to beat to farm Aymeric

Bismark,Ravana,Hilda are the last 3 Cards from 3.0 still I need

These new NPCs are terrible. Why are they all timed? This is uncreative and unfun.

I don't think Mogmill or Midnight Dew are Timed or it didn't seem like it

And to top it off most, if not all of them, have Random and/or Roulette. Midnight Dew in particular is like Tataru reborn.

Not to mention almost all of them have rules like "Random" or chaos, Or both Random and Chaos, or flat out double-roulette. Its frustrating to want to enjoy a round of Triple Triad only to have just about every new NPC be completely unfun, unbalanced, and unrewarding to play since beyond their crap rules, the drop rate on even 2 star cards was crap when I played the moogle :\

Also this. Midnight Dew is the one I hate the most atm. So frustrating and unfun, it makes me hate my favorite mini-game in FF history. Only XIV could find a way to ruin Triple Triad for me.

And before anyone asks rhetorically, Yes, I would actually enjoy TT way more if I could just use my rare cards and "Plow face" than feel like my card collection is worthless and my odds of winning are completely at the mercy of a RNG, we already have RNG card drop rates. Triple Triad is suppose to be a game of strategy, but there are some challenges that cheapen this. Chaos and Random go against the very idea of strategy. There is no strategy involved when winning is an impossibility due to Random and/or Chaos rules. The NPCs already have a decent AI (I know some of them can derp but some NPCs are very clever), so theres no need to screw us with these rules.

Can we please just remove both Random and Chaos from NPCs? Keep em under roulette and keep them under Player rules, but for the love of god stop giving NPCs, TIMED NPCs even, Random and Chaos, either or. Its not fun or creative.

If your having troubles with the NPCs Farm Ysayle, and Einsten first. I had a very high win rate on all the NPCs with a deck of Ysayle,Einsten,Warrior of Light,Urianger,Behemoth in that order. Keep them in that order because of like Marielle with the Order rule you can pretty much do Top Left,Bottom Left, Middle Right or Top Middle depending on her placements, and have a 90% win rate with the occasional draw

Only NPC that deck that I remember doesn't apply to is Idle Imperial because he always has Random instead of Roulette/Chaos

The guy (Midnight jew?) in idyllshire drops matoya card, I had to beat him quite a few times before it dropped

For a guy with the 90 card achievement reward card I want to know why this random using bastard only has like 7 total cards in his deck.

Because they were made that way? I never had any problem with them. Even when I get ~3-4 1 stars and a 3/4/5 Star usually at the very least it'll end up as a draw. The AI makes stupid moves alot of times that more then makes up for it.

I mean atleast it's better then it was originally I had more problems when TT first came out against NPCs like Landenel then I did against any of the new npcs

So far the hardest card of 3.0 has been Ravana and that's because how bad DF groups are in the fight.

Been the opposite for me so far. Did fantastic against the early NPCs, got pretty much all the original cards (Terra still eludes me, as does Cloud (gold packs sucking my mgp)) and Zidane (gold packs sucking my rng, too), but so far these new NPCs and the new cards are totally whipping my ass on drops and for some of them (Midnight Dew mostly) win ratio.

EX mode always has higher chances for cards..

I think random ascension (Idle Imperial) is the worst. Not only do I usually end up with crappy one star cards 90% of the time, but they also aren't tribe cards that have the ability to ascend.

try new tataru taru on ishgard then. random + chaos. easily the WORST. oh and she plays 2 x5 star all the time. only one weak card on entire deck.

oh did mention she drops TWO silver 5 star cards? remember that lighting farming on her before heavensward? its back for firion card here oh and she can drop lighting still aswell to reduce your chances at firion. very fun gameplay indeed.
