The Slice is Right

[Brightamethyst]

I recently discovered LoV... as a way to get something like 27,000 zero-effort MGP a week from the "play 1/3/5 games" challenge log, by joining the first non-tutorial level and leaving it to time out while I do other things.

Do battle #4. The boss tutorial one. Use something fast and strong (I like Hildibrand, personally) and the battle takes literally one minute.

Mahjong is relatively recent. Most people forgot it even exists

Yes, because adding Mahjong is like adding nothing for most of the western world. I don't know how big it's on the japanese servers but in Europe maybe a handfull of people are actually playing it.

LoV, on the other hand, is something I actually play sometimes. But I'm still stuck with Gilgamesh and his chickens. Can't beat this guy. (challenge 19)

We have a 41person linkshell for Mahjong on Chaos and we play every day. We're also trying to grow a community using a Fellowship and Discord and it's going quite well. We hope that SE will give further incentives for the game because it is so good to just kick back and relax on.

just get it down to one crystal left - keep defending that one and keep sending the minions to attack him as they expire. use their special abilities.

Mahjong is relatively recent. Most people forgot it even exists, but honestly, how many people really play LoV either?

Oh, true, I have indeed forgotten that it exists xD

Didn't had the passion to work myself through the rules...

i feel like more games in this direction are needed. gold saucer is supposed to be games of chance really. games of guaranteed outcome = meh

I just don't like the basket portion. The rest of it requires observation and learning the AoE patterns, but the baskets are pure luck. It's a little jarring.

how is the basket pure luck portion any different than not being blown off by typhon in "Any Way the Wind Blows"??

Typhon is 100% random from the start. That the whole point. Slice is pure skill, except for a weirdly out of place bit of pure random right in the middle.

so they combined both for a better experience imo. i don't see a problem with this.
