Thread: Question for you Aigis guys/girls

Now that it has happened do you feel back to back or one week break is the best strategy for us?

actually i don't dislike this format as much as you would first think. But i do believe we also need breaks. I mean , people also need time to raise their gold piles , since a lot of new (and even some older players like myself) still need to raise , cc and raise again characters to be able to finish some events. For example , i still didn't 3stared the second to last map , and for that i am cc-ing a mortimer and a conrad , since i lack both karma and/or a ninja. Besides that there is the affection items thing. We get a crapload of new characters , but can't farm affection items for them. In conclusion , i think breaks are good (hell , i'd vote for 2 week breaks >> since it gives enough time to restore a good enough stock of aff items and gold before a event) especially if they announcethe event a couple days before so we get to prepare for them

I am on the side of lolix, you said everything that was to be said. One week break would be rly good.

I do agree a break would probably be nice so we can stock up on stuff. 2 weeks like lolix said sounds way too much though, a week is enough :P

Hopping on the 1 week break suggestion.

You are talking from the perspective of a very old player. At least u still got to get afd items for a sizable number of characters (as i did as well on my old account , even if not all of them are maxxed. My new account is a mess tho on that regard). You also probably have at least ....500k gold if not more , at all times. And even if for agrument's sake , that's not the case , there are a lot of players that still need to farm demon cristals (and we both know , that the drop rates in events are usually crap for those) for characters like spica. Newer players would need longer breaks imo. 2 weeks is not THAT long and would give enough time for us to get all we need for a upcoming event. Also , need i remind you people that fairies prior to events are also crucial for a fast lvl up and cc of a unit ? using 3 fairies with a plat unit would give around 4-5k xp. Dunno about you guys , but i'd rather have slower event releases but be certain we're prepared for them

But it does not take a lot to get prepared for events if you play a decent amount. I managed to get Echidna when i actually started playing DURING the event. New content is something that is needed to alleviate from the standard grind. You get to put your trained units to use.

Also take into account star rush events, they do not require you to devote all your time to the event so you have plenty of stamina to use for that too. That with a one week break in between and you have tons of time as both veteran and newbie alike to get new stuff.

Personally I'd prefer a one week break after two week's worth of events. Best balance of getting events and being able to participate in them IMO.

As I'm relatively new (~ 1 month) I'm hurting for affection items, but I can expect that's going to solve itself in time: one can get up to 4.8 female characters' worth per average break week (or 3.8 female + 1 male) from natural stamina regen alone.

I'm also currently trying hard to get more DC, and event weeks are better than no-event weeks for that: I'm merely skipping out on each event's Thursdays, but I get to farm the events for DC for the whole week... overall the current and previous event are really good for extra DC farming (assuming you're new and hence not trying for the best possible unit) - although I seem to recall Shiho's event really wasn't.

Not sure about unit leveling speed, but one should be able to do that mid-event as well off of the surplus charisma, just less efficiently. In the long term one will max everything anyway. At that point the extra gold is only good for basic rolls, while events give you platinum units, silver unit drops, AND level completion SCs.

Of course with two single week events in a row we'd lose out on the half-day stamina carry-over for the second event, but I'd prefer that to having just half the events the JP version is getting.

Since I'm playing on DMM Aigis for a couple of months now, I could say I'm already used to it. And I do know the sentiments of a newbie/lowbie of having a back-to-back events.

Honestly, I'm fine without breaks. It's just a matter of "What do you need to do?" and "How appealing this event is for you?" In this case Lynn's event, doesn't appeal that much to me, because of ridiculous stamina cost on the last map, so I sacrificed this day to do the Crystal Keeper.

As for the two weeks break most mentioned, you can have them through Star Rush/Completion Events. Farming for silver units on such event is just optional if you really need that unit, and since we're going to have the Green Crystal summons, where silver units appeared often (on my first try, I got 50%... 10 draws: 5 silver 4 bronze and 1 iron) that is a more recommended source for CC fodders.

For lowbies, who wouldn't be able to complete all event maps, I think getting the event unit is enough to participate on a event

Back to back is the only way to go. If you're new or unprepared, then sit it out and run dailies, but there is no reason to deprive people who do want to play events from the chance to do so.
