Thread: Patch 2.55 new card NPC's and changes to rules & card sets.

I'm sitting at about 72 cards and her random rule didn't slow me down much. Probably just lucky draws but I actually found her to be one of the easier timed NPCs (haven't played them since the patch but pre-patch Swift was by far the worst npc in the game imho).

That's the whole purpose of what I was talking about. They nerfed Swift because of this same thing, yet turn right around and add in the "new" NPC with just as bad, if not worse, rules. It makes no sense whatsoever and I see it as a giant middle finger to us, to be honest. A random rule is not how you make this interesting or more fun. All it does is make it extremely frustrating and disappointing that they couldn't think of anything better.

She drops one of the better cards in the game at the moment which can only be won alternatively through the tournament so she is supposed to be very hard, how hard she is is not the the problem with her in my opinion. I win about 60% of the time and have clocked up over 260-270 wins against her, the problem I have with her is she still has not dropped the Lightning card after all those wins for me. The RNG god is not on my side at all currently.

IMHO Order and Chaos are waaaay worse than Random.

It's you guys fault for making your collection with unnecessary 1-2 star cards. How hard is it just to bank those 1-2 star cards in retainers instead of using them? Collect all the 5 star cards then you can pop those shitty cards.

With my deck, reverse is actually the one that kills me now. Unless random is nice and gives me one star cards, I pretty much always lose because my cards have numbers that are too high.

Are you serious? There are 20 one * cards... you get 5 to start. You can't really expect anyone to collect the remaining 60 cards with a shitty starter one * deck. That would take a LONG time and a whole lot of luck. You can't even use two/three * decks until you have 30/60 cards. This is just dumb.

Speaking of low star cards, are Tonberry, Sahagin, and Demon Wall still dungeon exclusive or were added to any NPCs or card packs as a reward now?

I understand that she drops a good card, and that's understandable. However, RNG =/= skill. She's only hard because of a stupid rule that is very, VERY flawed at the moment. If they wanted to make her hard, they should have given her a 5 star card and the rest 4 star with the OPPORTUNITY for us to try and build something that may counter her in the slightest so we could at least have the chance of using the advantage of the 60 card deck and some of us spent a lot of time building.

Speaking of crap Random NPCs, I just got my Odin card from Lendenel! Woot!
