Thread: At this point, I am no longer surprised

you're missing the fact that dmm gives a lot more freebies then nutaku gives.

They really only give one more freebie that i can remember - every mission, apart from gold rush missions, has a 100% chance to give you all unit drop on the first run.
That's one thing i wish they'd add on nutaku :P

And newbies still aren't completely barred from any content here.

i don´t have any problem with 1 week break between event, my barrack are almost full 219 lol with silver and farm event copies waiting for fairy or AW to be used, aigis is a grind game if you want a new map each day go to other game ¬¬ and yeah more event more sc but if you spam them fast bad luck will give you crap silvers over &over, i try use 1 summon each event and save the rest or add more space in barrack

Don't do premiums during each event. It's a waste of scs. Wait till u have like 70s scs or so , and find a spotlight that u like , and then do enough summons to change your stampcard (50) and still have scs for possible events. That's if you want to do summons. You can always keep your scs for other stuff.

I would create a DMM account if I had more free time to be honest. Once you are used to the basics of the game you need no text aside from the new content and skills of new units. However, I have to deal with a job, helping my family, my own MWA Nutaku account, a friend's, my own social life and other games. Considering that I have a competitive nature that would end in disaster for me xD

I have the feeling Nutaku wanted to release AW this week due to that ninja banner some of us saw. Something must have happened to take that back almost instantly. I should level up my Betty from 50 to 60 soon.

I'm going to put this break nonsense to rest right now. This is every DMM event since August 27

Oh, yeah, and before you respond, here's how I fared in those events because that's about my calendar of when I started playing the DMM version:

Pipin - skipped, was leveling up

Gold Rush - Didn't get Odette but got four of the platinums and three-starred all of them

Ricolla - Perfected

Chloe - -3CR, 3/10 skill. Got boned on RNG from trying to SU

Isabel - min cost, 7/10 skill. My MVP for a loooong time

Emilia - -2CR, 4/5 skill.

Charlotte - -2CR, 5/10 skill. Didn't put a lot of effort into based on feedback from others

Louise - Put a lot of work into because at the time she would have been my only princess

Juno - Min cost, 9/10 skill

Imelia - -1CR, perfect skill. Put my effort into getting Bonbori fairies, not revival crystals for CR, based on some feedback from others

Etena - min cost, 9/10 skill. Has been a big carry for me on a number of maps but probably put too much work into getting min-costed

Liesse - -4CR, perfect skill. 15s wait time on initial use of skill (reinforce 3) is nice

Rikka - min cost, 5/10 skill. Put some effort into this and the knowledge helped me when we got our Rikka event. Same for Charlotte

Aria, Echidna and Anya - put a ton of effort into getting them because of revival crystal costs. So much so that I don't think Aria is CR/SU'd at all, but did purchase a Katie to CR/SU her once.

Irene - put too much effort into some maps I had no business trying, but the flip side is I got a number of Ritas, Maribels and Mirandas. Speaking of...

Rita - Min cost, 5/10 skill. Lots of drops trying to 3-star a map I kept 2-starring

Maribel - Min cost, 4/5 skill. Haven't CC'd her yet because of lack of Heavy Armors

Miranda - got from gold rush listed earlier. -4CR, 5/10 skill

Calico - -4CR, 6/10 skill. Ironic because I put a lot of effort farming drops I needed for CC and Awakening, not her. Wasn't really impressed with her for some reason.

2nd Gold Rush - 3 starred everything but Male only map (guess what I haven't been leveling much of). Missed out on two completion drops (Roberto, Bernice) plus three platinum drops (Ada, Lynn, Canon)

Memento - Put effort into getting Bonbori to raise her skill (7/10), not farming revival crystals trying to CR her (none)

Faa - didn't put a lot of effort in. Couldn't 3-star last map, but still got a perfect Faa

Azame (from Faa event) - got a few drops of her trying to farm one of the maps for other drops. -3CR, 3/5 skill

Shihi (from Faa event) - got a few trying to three-star the last map. -2CR, +2SU

Liana - didn't try to CR due to number of revival crystals needed. Used rainbow Bonbori fairies + a rainbow fairy to max skill.

Just coming in to say that I started DMM about the same time as Taikishi. I didn't start because of the break, but because others on IRC were doing so because of the break.

I will say that it took me forever to AW anything because the AW maps killed me for so long. Even now, I can't beat the Sunday orb map.

In any case, I have now quit. Not because I was overwhelmed by the game itself mind you. That said, I will agree with just about everything Taikishi has to say. DMM is brutal, but not impossible. If you were to start, get some background knowledge, do your plat/black rerolls, and do some planning. Don't focus on one thing to much, look at the broad picture. Yes, you might feel bad that not only an event unit, but a good event unit came around that you had to skip or settle at -0 1/10. Yes, CC'ing and eventually AW'ing will be thrown into mix and make everything even more complicated (orb maps no joke and raising silvers is problematic).

But the game is better for all that. There are actual senses of urgency and challenge, which beats out a lot of real games nowadays.

Lolix,

The only things the DMM version has that we don't that aid new players are 100% drop rate on first time clear and drop on most event maps (I think side revival maps don't have it, gold rush definitely doesn't) and occasionally 1.5x drop rates on story maps.

Those two things are fairly minor unless you can clear the harder maps for plat/black fairies, plat cans, etc, or can auto complete the 40 cha desert mission or bigger because an extra silver unit MIGHT net you a CR/SU or help you CC an extra unit, but that's about it.

people can't graduate from school until the two delinquents get caught up. everyone can't progress or go into the next grade until they are ready. no college or work until then.

we also need to wait for every new student to get caught up. so we will have to wait even longer.
