    Card drops are insanely bad!

    What the title says. I don't expect it to be 1 card every 2 games or something like that, but it could have some sort of hidden buff where the drop rate improves with a win streak. I defeated an NPC 40 times and I just go 2 cards... the same card twice! I still need the other 2 drops (yeah, I'm talking about THAT npc) and I'm scared I'll be stucked there forever.

    I think the focus for the NPCs should be on their difficulty, not how bad the drop rates are.

    I know how that feels. But you gotta keep trying and hopefully it'll be your lucky day to get the card drops you wanted.

    It's definitely a reason why I don't bother with TT and I loved it in FF8 and collected every card.

    I'm fine with things taking a little time to collect or some cards being rare, but collecting every card would involve tens of thousands of games. It's far too much repetition and I'd find it impossible to still enjoy it after that.

    Pair that with the fact 4 star cards are useless, the TT tournament is outdated and there's nothing else really to do with TT... life's just to short to burn all those hours for a few virtual 5 star cards in a game most people don't care about.

    There are some nasty ones for sure. I found it helps to look at collecting TT cards from npcs as a long term project to do while in queue as opposed to something to focus on. Thankfully they got rid of the timers some of the npcs used to have for availability so you can challenge them whenever you feel like it.
    I've got all the cards currently available and found the tournament cards to be the worst by far due to only getting a shot at them every two weeks.

    I do agree with you that some cards do have extremely low % chance to get but well that's what collecting cards is all about some are rare, some are not and some are super rare, you can't expect to get every card after winning a few times otherwise you would get all the cards and triple triad would be over as you would have nothing left to collect if you could get each card within a small amount of time.

    The way it is designed makes sense as it's going to last, if it did not last players would be complaining that there isn't anymore cards to get -.- u can't win....

    They make it easier to get cards after awhile anyways, as the "Terra Branford" card could only of been gotten from "The Dragon's Neck" trial when they first introduced the card, it took me over 200 wins in that trial to get it, now you can also get Terra from 2 npcs or randomly from Mythril Triad Packs.

    In general the same card that can be gotten from a dungeon/trial etc and npc, will be have a very low chance to be gotten from the npc.


    I usually just listen to a few of my weekly podcasts or watch some anime/tv show while grinding for the cards and I eventually get them.

    Honestly I wouldn't mind the drop rates if I didn't feel like I was banging my head against the wall with little to nothing to show for it. I get that they should be an accomplishment to get but there's a rewarding sensation and then there's knowing what the void is as you stare longingly towards it's dark embrace. As you once again come up short after hours of playing the. same. damn. NPC.

    I think a good fix would be that successive wins increase the drop rate of cards, with losing your streak dropping the rate back to it's normal amount. That would go a long way to making this better in my mind. It doesn't even need to be a sizeable increase and can cap out at 10% for all I care. Just give me some reason to care.

    Honestly to justify any of the card drops rate I feel the first thing they should do is allow both a 4 star and a 5 star in a deck along with your other 3's. Nothing feels more soul crushing then grinding out for a 4 star card you will never end up using at all because it will be immediately outclassed by a better 5 star.

    It would at least not only customize your gameplan but would give more incentive into getting those cards.

    At least the card drops are better than what I see in the fates that are in Eureka that have some of the cards.
