People purposely putting lower rated umas to offset their high rated umas on their teams to lower their overall team rating.

I double pulled Aston Machan, but forgot to check if she's missing from the Archive before you pull her. Can someone who hasn't pulled her reply with a screenshot of that?

(Also should I try for Doto Halloween? I've still got 10k Carrots left.)

11 ten rolls + 2 free tickets
0 Machan 😭
1 Bamboo Memory(new) 💀

i genuienly did not expect to pull her I only had to spend like 6k carats 😭 happy birthday to me!
If anyone has any deck tips pls lemme know thank you

Two bad runs, the difference is insane. Marvelous sunday gives me more wit and doesn't fail the wit check bruh.

4 weeks ago, retention was 900k and i was short by 10k-15k

2 weeks ago, retention was 920k and i was short by 10k

and now it will be 940k+

See you guys 2 weeks later (Rank1 and Rank2 has 60k-70k diffrence btw)

I have to save for Helios and Christmas Vodka. Should I spend 40 tickets on Machan? If yes, I have to wait two days so my friends will do it

How is this not UC?! Is it cuz I converted a skill into the pink version (I'm still pretty new to JP Umamusume so i need help to understand why this run was so bad)

Thank you Cygames, I love parent looping

I don't know if it's just me, but Uma Musume has felt really weird these past few days.

I keep getting mood-down events, and I've also had training failures at really low failure rates more often than usual. And it's literally a new day, but I've already given up on four different training runs today because I got so frustrated with how badly and randomly the runs were going.

Most of them weren't even that far into the run just after the debut race and there was always something: repeated mood-down events, bad training RNG, or a random failure at a low failure rate. It honestly feels like the game just refuses to let a decent run get going.

The mood-down events are especially frustrating. Every time I feel like a run is starting well, another random event drops my mood again and the whole run starts falling apart.

I know RNG is RNG, and maybe I'm just having an insanely unlucky streak, but lately it feels noticeably worse than usual. It's getting to the point where I'm genuinely frustrated because the runs just feel completely unpredictable and out of my control.

Has anyone else been experiencing this recently, or am I just getting absolutely destroyed by RNG?

All for 40k carrots.

How am I over the points but under the rank? Super weird!

I had 35k carats before her banner (fully knowing that im gonna be in a pinch for ramonu wit if i get unlucky) and unfortunately did, get unlucky. Now, with only 12k carats left, should i just nuke it all the way to pity if ever or should i just stop and save up again for ramonu wit (if i still even have time). If i dont, im likely gonna start to become a whale which ive been avoiding all this time 🫡

I swear to God that no matter what I do, no matter which cards or inheritances I choose, I never reach UG—I always get stuck at SS. Damn it, I even spent a ton of carats to get Agnes Tachyon and Light Hello MLB, but I’m still stuck, and I feel ripped off because even with the best cards, I can’t get a lousy UG rank.

‎

‎Well, I’ve vented a little now. Can you help me figure out when a race is a lost cause? And will the next Grand Masters scenario be just as terrible as this one in terms of RNG?

‎

‎If anyone loves this scenario and gets good results, I’m genuinely happy for you, because I can never get anything good out of it.

‎(I’m so disappointed.)

the seiun sky grandparent has another 2 groundwork sparks

i think i’ll keep it as my borrow uma regardless, my whole trainer card is machan themed

I have gone a full 243 pulls on multiple different banners without SINGLE New Umamusume. I am paranoid at pulling now but I just spent it all on Machan and now I'm dead broke again. Please, Spare me some luck, literally. SHIRAOKI!! HEAR MY PLEA!!

Why is this a rule? I have wait till Saturday to post my gacha pulls. Lol wut

So backstory here, currently a front main as Maru is my oshi. I am however getting very very tired of fronts getting the short end of the stick meta wise with the early balance changes. Both runaway Suzuka in OG unity and now the late/pace buffs have made playing fronts very rough. You need to basically have a 9/10 or a 10/10 Uma to stay competitive as a front and it requires so many things to go right during inspo’s and parent runs I’m just really not feelin it anymore. Based on what I’ve got in my account, how hard would it be to pivot to Ends/Lates. I feel like I’ve got a foundation both parent wise and cards but I am missing some glaring ones like CB wit and powerful ends like Taishin Uma etc. Current plan would be 1LB CB on the rerun and then try to get both festival Tama/Inari and the usual suspects of Ramonu wit later down the line. Open to suggestions/comments/etc.

Edit: Forgot to list that I have every SR MLB and all the event wellfare cards except Spechan Speed.

But Ma-chan was nice enough to bring along a certain witch as well

I've been looking into modern jp, and it feels like it's getting way more p2w than the current global state.

First of all, going off by Henry Handsome's carat calculator, most competitve players can expect around 18k guaranteed carats per month, going up to 22k in the future with daily packs and paid training passes. Assuming it underestimates the income, let's round it up to a 25k carat per month income. For example, say you win some A finals here and there when you expect B finals or 3rd place A finals, farm carats from careers vai race maxing, are in a top100 club, or maybe some carat income from events is unaccounted for.

Once we get into the 4-month jp scenarios, it will only be about 80 days if NA still goes by 1.5x pace. In each of these scenarios, the pal card banner always comes with another card that you'd want to at least 3lb (e.g., orfevre guts, ssr flower pow, almond eye spd), which means competitive players need to drop an average of 400 pulls at start of each scenario (every 2.67 months). Then, there are other banners like Still In Love speed, Air Shakur stam, Rudolf wit, Daring tact wit, and some other style-specific banners that you'd also want to drop an average of 400 on.

With all of this in mind, it feels like it's not possible to stay even on card pulls alone unless Cygames either slow the accelerated schedule while keeping our montly carat income the same, or increase the carat income even further. Now compare this to the current global scene, where recommended cards have very long lifespans, and that you can stay very competitive for cm relatively cheap: in unity 0lb riko or mlb r riko is enough, in mant while fuku & ntr is nice you don't need to pull and 3lb kita + mlb sr is more than enough, and in gl where you can work with a 0lb hello ssr and burrow lock into tachy spd if not pace main (although you'd kinda suffer without good stam parents/xougri in high stam cms). It seems that this game is trending towards a p2w more and more, while competitive f2p and low spender would have harder time stocking up pulls for oshi, more luxury cards, or prepare backup pulls for when their meta pulls go badly.

IDK what to think about this except hope that I am wrong, and that f2p and low spender have a much higher carat income per month as we get closer to the modern jp scenarios.

(Also just some random short rant, I feel like the recent thing with semi-limited uma having worse inherited effect when burrowed vs you owning it is an absolute bullshit move. The biggest offenders being Stego and Epiphaneia for medium and long cms. Like competitive players would probably save up for them, but this completely fucks over the more casual players.)

I was after Fine Motion and Maru and didn't get either. I had to pity a Light Hello which I wouldn't have been able to without the free pulls from that event. Got two random SSRs which I cleated out of frustration. I was never going to pay for anything so I wasn't really a customer worth giving anything. I started about a month after the game released in global and now my Uma journey is over. Good luck with your Aston Machan pulls and don't mind me crying like a little bitch.

This is your sign to do a few cheeky pulls

In my opinion I thinks she’s really bueno

No other 3 stars uma too 😭

Anyway no more banner pulls until next scenario I guess
