I felt no joy. And that really depresses me.<br /><br />I saw so much potential when I finally got to start playing this game, but it has just slowly dwindled more and more over time as it demands too much time and attention from me. I want to enjoy this, because it's the only new MMX experience I've gotten to have in over 17 years... but it just falls flat. The Total Power system is definitely prominently to blame, because it takes what should be a simple platformer experience and turns it into an arbitrary slog to boost yourself just enough that you can actually hit the targets you're shooting directly at and not die for taking a single tick of damage. Mobile gaming is the worst experience imaginable... I don't know why I thought this would be different. I'm so disappointed... and this is all we have. After 17 years, this is the best they could offer us?? My soul hurts.Mimzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630696046695451209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-54568109118937596982021-09-15T10:46:51.393-05:002021-09-15T10:46:51.393-05:00On another topic altogether… apparently, NebulaJoy...On another topic altogether… apparently, NebulaJoy decided to do their own thing with this event.<br /><br />For starters, the "Black Assassin" event is <i>still running</i> as I type this. That means that people can still get prizes and improve their race ranking… if they want to waste their Energy Points on a dead event, anyway. Regardless, the event was supposed to be over with at 3:59:59 PDT this morning, and it ain't.<br /><br />Secondly – and most importantly – they changed what characters and weapons gave damage and Event Point bonuses.<br /><br />Taiwan Original Run:<br />- 10% Bonus: Axl, Cannon<br />- 20% Bonus: Marino, Iris (damage only), Elite Lance, Assault Equipment (damage only)<br />- 40% Bonus: Ultimate Armor X (CM), Gravitational Pulse<br /><br />Global Original Run:<br />- 10% Bonus: Layer, Beam Rapier<br />- 20% Bonus: Super Mega Man, Crushing Spray Can<br />- 40% Bonus: Ultimate Armor X (X4), Demon Blade Muramasa<br /><br />I thought I'd get ahead of the game and reset my Triangular Saber specifically to level up my Elite Lance. Turns out, I wasted my time <b>and</b> my earned currency. NebulaJoy owes me some Metals. And an explanation.<br />(No, realistically, they don't owe me anything. I'm just upset because they <i>denied expectations</i> on me.)Jo Li KMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463040155653479273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-91081732975399628622021-09-14T07:26:12.323-05:002021-09-14T07:26:12.323-05:00Okay, I've made some mistakes and given some m...Okay, I've made some mistakes and given some misinformation, here. Allow me to correct myself.<br /><br />The Daily Missions, <i>themselves</i>, do not give you any Elemental Metals. <i>However</i>, completing 100 Points-worth of missions will give players 60 EM via Daily Rewards. This can be done <i>without</i> spending any EM or giving Friends "Action Points".<br />In addition, a player can complete 10 PvP matches (and win once) to earn 20 more EM, and if they do an <i>uncleared</i> Jakob Elevator (Challenge) stage, that's another 20 EM – or 50 EM on boss stages.<br /><br />So ultimately, if the player is just doin' the daily grind and nothing else, they can earn 100 Elemental Metals per day. Which means it would take 250 days to earn enough EM to spend to get 250 Capsule Exchange Points.<br /><br />Now. How much is 25,000 EM actually worth, real money-wise? Well, one can buy 4,300 EM for $99.99 USD. Five of these would add up to 21,500 and cost $499.95. One can also buy 3,500 EM for $84.99. Buying one of those <i>on top</i> of the five 4,300 EM packs brings the totals up to 25,000 EM for a total of <b>$584.94</b> USD.<br />(I know Ivan already mentioned this, but I already had this typed by by the time I saw that, so…)<br /><br />Also, for those wondering: a Gachapon "pull" costs 100 EM. One can purchase 170 EM for $4.99, or four 33 EM for $0.99 each which adds up to 132 EM for $3.96. I also did further math and, honestly? There isn't much of a price break for buying in bulk. Not really, anyway. So… that's fun.Jo Li KMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463040155653479273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-34485093075797480812021-09-13T16:24:06.677-05:002021-09-13T16:24:06.677-05:00Spending more than 5 bucks on one digital characte...Spending more than 5 bucks on one digital character, 10 IF I want to be generous with inflation...<br />You can imagine the rest... 🤬shraphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848361826187708820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-70663056961555296872021-09-13T14:05:10.748-05:002021-09-13T14:05:10.748-05:00From doing Daily Missions, I earn about 200 Elemen...From doing Daily Missions, I earn about 200 Elemental Metals per day. 25,000 ÷ 200 = 125.<br />However, one of the Daily Missions <i>makes</i> you spend 100 EM. So, 25,000 ÷ 100 = 250.<br /><br />Therefore, if you don't do any extras, just focus on the Daily Missions, and don't spend any Metals, it will take upward of 125 days, but not exceed 250.Jo Li KMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463040155653479273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-56982883764453284482021-09-13T11:04:32.560-05:002021-09-13T11:04:32.560-05:00well tbf, most of these gacha games have similar &...well tbf, most of these gacha games have similar "pity" systems. you have to go balls deep, this however is good for paying players (their primary objective obviously) because for people with a lot of disposable income, this can save you from yourself as you could easily double up and go 900 bucks without a copy, let alone multiple (which spenders typically want more than one copy as well)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965760804347629363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-22550109251000138352021-09-13T11:02:49.858-05:002021-09-13T11:02:49.858-05:00cool i thought so, just double checking. really we...cool i thought so, just double checking. really weird it left for mega and proto who came right after lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965760804347629363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-41590362771699447652021-09-13T10:32:55.007-05:002021-09-13T10:32:55.007-05:00If you use daily EM purchases, it's about $275...If you use daily EM purchases, it's about $275 over the course of a month from one banner to the next.<br /><br />If you use the instant purchase EM's it would take 5.8 purchases of the $99.99 EM of 4,300 EM's.
