Triple Triad has its quirks

He has a point here, we need at least another lvl of rarity allowance.
Max we got currently is 1 4-5 star + 4 3 stars....which raises the question of who in his right mind will use 1 4star + 4 3 stars?

4 stars are used right now until you get something better and becomes useless.
They could add a final rarity level. If you don't want to make it 1 5*+ 4 4*, make it 1 5*+ 1 4*+ 3 3*or 1 5* + 2 4* + 2 3*

Once you get 30 cards you can use more rare cards, go do primals, go farm content like garuda hard, go buy packs of cards, the npcs with the plus rule are at least beatable. QQ

Primals are all 3 star+.

I think all these complainers need to realize one cold hard fact: this game IS NOT to be played for ONE WEEK and to be done with everything 100%....

That is entirely besides the point. The issue is not the lack of progression speed, but rather the limitations imposed on using certain cards.
Personally I'm in the amusing situation where all the cards I've earned are 3,4 or 5 star cards.
Leaving me to use a deck of 4 starter cards with only one new card.
One time my only 5 star got swapped to my opponent, leaving me with the interesting situation of 4x 1 star and 1x 3 star, up against 4x 5 stars, and 1x 4 star.

Can't say I much like the restriction on higher value cards.

This rare card limit really suck...

Triple Triad is combination of skills, luck, and random number generation (for the rewards). So yeah this is not going to be a one day collect them all kind of activities. Try WoW Hearthstone... without buying additional card using real money, it will take awhile to get the rare cards. I think all these complainers need to realize one cold hard fact: this game IS NOT to be played for ONE WEEK and to be done with everything 100%.... You play it a little bit at a time over LOOONG period. And maybe take a month or two offs in between if you should choose - and you will still be fine in catching up with gears when you are back. Enjoy it. SLOWLY. Or go back to Call of Duty: Pew Pew Edition - "I have no clue what I am doing - just hitting random buttons mashing for abilities".

The issue isnt time investment, its artificial difficulty.

For example, Gegeruju with the swap rule.
If he swaps your best card for something weaker, might as well throw the game now, he's got 2-3 5 stars in his hand.
If he swaps a bad card for a 5 star, then you are in luck and may win.
Why? because the power dynamic is no longer one-sided.
Frankly NPC decks are tuned like crap. They are either super weak, or just OP.
There are a whopping TWO reasons why we win even 10-15% of the matches against the OP decks.
1. We can use the Plus and Same rules a lot better than they can.
2. The AI tends to make dumb moves.

The problem is, if we have no rules to exploit, the AI blatantly overpowers us.
I am still trying to get my 30 cards to unlock 2 stars. My hand consists of 4 cards who's total power is barely 15, and Bahamut.
I am playing against NPCs who's hands have 4 and 5 star cards, several of them, with power totals of nearly 30 per card.
Were it not for "lucky swaps" and the AI making bad moves, there is no way in hell that my 1 star hand could beat Gegeruju.
Mathematically (and realistically), if you were to play a HUMAN opponent who's hand was all but literally TWICE a strong as yours. you would be unable to win.
The only reason we win against these super decks is because of RNG and dumb moves by the AI.

The NPCs need to play by the rules, too. I've noticed that they pretty much ignore Random. Momodi has no more than 10 cards in her deck, but she always draws Momodi and at least 2 of the following: Thancred, Miounne, Baderon. I have never seen her draw truly randomly. The same goes for Wymond. Those are the only two I've experienced the Random rule with so far, though.

EDIT: Oh, yeah.. also, they don't seem to be limited by the same rarity rules we are. This is an example of Kenji's 'artificial difficulty' mentioned above.

triple triad isnt supposed to be easy... its a stragey minigame that requires alot of planning not just throwing a card with a high number to beat a card with a low number you will lose almost everytime if u resort to tactics like that

it also originated in final fantasy 8 and in 8 you were able to use all teh powerhouse rare cards in a single deck in this version you can only use 1 rare cards and the rest common or uncommon.. has nothing to do with being easy or hard when teh npcs dont even carry the crap that we are stuck with 1% chance of winning against some of the npcs is being being hard or challenging its impossible especially with random since the random cards you get are all the crap in your collection and teh random cards and npc gets has 0% crap in it cause they don't even carry the crap cards with them.

Look at this hardcore card game, where you only can win against NPCs, which have alot better cards, because they are playing like shit, im so gud at this game.

ya you'll have to farm TT cards from old and new content. I believe each level 50 dungeon and Trial, or atleast certain dungeons and Trials, drop their own TT cards you can collect.
