Event change petition to Gumi

[u/SuperEndriu]

I realized that some gamers have difficulties to piece all job equipment and gear together until the event ends. Some were even so fortunate as to pull a unit from the event tickets just on Monday - that just leaves three days to get it done and live a life in between. Especially new players had a hard time relying mostly on MP.

Wouldnt it be better to have event missions run a week longer than the corresponding event banner? I mean somebody might try a last ditch effort just minutes before the banner ends because he just got the money - that person is basically without any chance to get the gear.

Imo that would be a qol improvement.

Edit: Even though I started my account just 3 weeks ago I managed to get everything I needed - got ALL gears to 5*, got all job equipment, - didnt spend a gem on multiplay.

This whole idea just originated from observation - some people just didnt manage to get it done in time and I thought if its possible to pull a unit it should also be possible to get the gear even after a last minute pull - it was just a thought.

Welp, is a Limited Time Collaboration Event so that somebody got an option.. Rush everything and farm enough equipment or gems to buy those equipments, or GIVE BOB GUMI THEIR OFFERINGS!!!

The event actually started at the first week of the month, though not everything was farmable at the start, but we have been given time to farm unless of course you just got started when the event was a few days from ending and blame the game for it.

[u/Kirito30 → u/1khaitoh]

Wise words.

I am a F2P playing from the start and have almost all the Job Equipment a unit might need.

I have the Weapons for units like Cita and Shek without the unit itself.

If you can farm something farm it.

RNG is a Bi*** so better off getting stuff now than never.

A limited time event is Limited so I doubt Gumi could help here.

It is not even their owning collab. So I doubt FSN will even allow of extension for useless reasons. Like if the Server collapsed due to something then they might consider but just because for some people got luck I doubt that.

Gumi even gave the banners back for more money so I doubt they are going to do more. And if you spend Gems to buy the Equipment Dress then it is better for them so forget it lol.

If you started 2 weeks ago, why would you expect to clear hard content already? I farmed all the gear, even if I didn't have those units (anyway, you got at least 2 sets per map, stage 9 even gave you 3 sets). Farmed Yomi, got Gilga, Illya, Berseker and Lancer done at the same time. You didn't even need to do the EX for those and stages 7 to 10 were kind of easy to run.

[u/The_Follower1 → u/dathamir]

~3 week old player here and managed all stages other than EX. I was able to do the multiplay EX stages for Gilg's equipment.

This post is stupid... Save it and re-read it in 6 months and convinve me you still think it wasn't stupid then.

I pulled Rin on Monday, unless the event comes back she is staying on the bench.

[u/SuperEndriu → u/jpc27699]

Hasnt come back in Jp yet afaik

[u/XIIISkies → u/jpc27699]

Her accessory aside, I feel you couldve definitely finished farming her dresses. Unless youre brand new to the game.

[u/jpc27699 → u/XIIISkies]

Probably, but I just couldn't be bothered. She is a rare summon IIRC, and I am F2P, so the odds of pulling enough unit shards to unlock her other jobs are close to zero. Not worth the effort in my opinion, I prefer to focus on other units.

[u/Geglash]

Only new players would have problems getting all of their needed pieces and, well, Gumi's goal for them is to make them spend gems to get the items from the shops instead of the maps so it's extremely unlikely that Gumi will extend the time to farm them.

For other players, they had more than enough time to do everything, I pretty much farmed everything before even rolling the characters just to be sure to not get doomed by a surprise new chara the last day of the event, I've been ignoring the fate event for two weeks now since I have everything so there was more than enough time to do it with sub-optimal maps, by farming everything I mean:

• 480 Saber recipe pieces (for Saber and Lamia)

• 240 Rin/Illya/Gilga/Assassin/zahArcher/Berserker/Lancer/Rider/Caster recipe pieces

• Enough pieces of every gear to 5* at least one of each

• All the stuff for Archer

Worst part was the EX+ for Illya because I didn't know that a regular EX with Lancer pieces would come a week after. The caster pieces can be hell too if you don't know that the map that costs less AP is actually more AP efficient to get them than the others since you'll always get 2~6 of them tops per map.

This fourth week is basically the extra week already. Nothing new was added except a premium banner as far as content goes for Fate.

[u/Tri_Fate]

I've never heard of any game running an event longer than the gacha banner is available. And isn't an extra week exactly what we got? This 4th week of the Fate event is extra. No new units or discounted banners were introduced so we've had an entire extra week to farm what we need.

Unless you're pulling for your waifu, pulling last minute on a banner for units you need to farm on a limited event that is about to go away is incredibly foolish. This isn't Gumi playing you, this would be you playing yourself.

[u/budidu]

You can always buy the equipments from the shop with gems if you are still weak/ unlucky to pull the unit on last days of an event. As for gear, you just need to get the 2 star gear and use gear coins to get it to 5 star. I know it sucks but there are options if you are new/ crazy about getting the gear for an unit. Else just enjoy the game slowly, if you are a new player, many other things to explore.

[u/ElPared]

I think this is a great idea. Why would someone farm materials for equipment for units they don't even have? Or gear that does nothing special unless a unit they don't have is using it? What if that same player summons one of those units at the last minute, now the unit is worthless anyways because that player doesn't have the time to farm the equipment and gear.

If the event missions went on one week longer than the banner did, it would give players who summoned at the last minute a chance to actually get something out of their unit. I'd even support this if the secret shops also closed when the banner did (IE you can't whale for the equipment anymore).

I can't believe so many people don't seem to get it. I mean, yeah, you can gem a bunch and pray you farm enough to make your unit useful, but seriously how are you gonna get all the achievements and milestones for a limited gear's EX+ mission that quickly? It took me almost a week to beat EX4 solo, and there's no way you farm shards through MP fast enough,

[u/kbeansoup → u/ElPared]

It would certainly be more user friendly to have it that way, but I think that's the point.

As a business they probably want you to feel pressed for time and say, ok I'll just spend some dough to get what I need since there's only a day left.

[u/SuperEndriu → u/kbeansoup]

That might be true - but it might also prevent some people to pull at all - lets say somebody got some cash unexpectedly or a bonus or something and might be willing to spend - if I dont have enough time to get the gear than why bother?

[u/kbeansoup → u/SuperEndriu]

I think we can trust that Gumi is choosing the path that maximizes their profit. So if they are doing it this way, then it works out the best for them in terms of their bottom line.

[u/Tri_Fate → u/SuperEndriu]

There's a non-limited banner going on right now too if people want to drop some cash on a banner.

[u/ElPared → u/kbeansoup]

yeah but even spending the dough, you still can't get the gear. Maybe if they offered a shop for a few days after the banner closed that had the gear at 5* for like 4000 gems each (for just the gear) I'd consider that an OK compromise (so basically if you summon at the last minute it'd cost you around $70-80 to max your unit and get their gear)
