User blog:Amateru/Recent AGG Luck?

Since leaving my previous job and moving states, I have had no spare change to splurge on AGG (it's been what, three months now?), so my motivation to do well seemed to have evaporated.

It has been a nice change of pace, returning to the memory of roughing it out as a free player, and nostalgia aside, I have actually started to enjoy the game more, rather than stressing over ranking rewards and event completions.

So there is another bonus: my health is not suffering anymore. Now I feel that if I do return to the cashing lifestyle, I will be able to do so more casually (never want to repeat the expenditure of the "A Blade to Reawaken" SG event ever again, even if I did get Ikutachi out of it //missed BARBATOS by one fucking rank GDI//).

But enough on that, and onto recent events.

I was relieved that I didn't bother with the most recent tower, since it was a waste of time, money and resources (well I didn't have any to start with, haha), so I didn't push myself to finish like I normally would. Napoleon was a blatant disappointment in terms of everything (art, stats and THAT FUCKING SKILL FFS), so HAHAHAHA NO THANK YOU.

With no items, I climbed to 177F, and collected enough stamps to acquire Moon Viewing Set [Hotspring] and a few magatamas. If I had had two more days, I probably could have finished the tower, but again I will reiterate, Napoleon was not worth squat to me (Satellite Cannon and every other top tier daemon FTW), so why bother?



//While I whinge constantly over how shitty Big Kite Zamashi is in terms of art, she has decent stats and a useful skill, so I am at a moot point whenever I scold myself with bothering to get her (why not, since "she" {I use this term loosely} landed me Tendo Hidari-Uma)//

But back to my "free" luck

In the Shrine of Seven Days, Biwa Hoshi FINALLY made his grand appearance after three shrines of absolutely no contact whatsoever, and I have yet another bishouen to add to my divina team collection. *_*



Raging Rapids GCQ landed me an Aquarius [Pure] to my absolute shock and delight, since my guild's drop rate has been absolutely appalling since the Venom conquest (although I did acquire Scorpio [Pure] on the last day, and Capricorn [Fallen] through everyone's combined efforts), and she is over halfway maxed now.



And in this most recent Sealstone event, on my second completion, I acquired Giara, who now compliments my beautiful baby Arko perfectly (both great for conquests, with wonderful art to boot *_*).



So all in all, not doing too badly, all things considered (about 50 5*s now, I think?). (:

I just hope that Zynga realises that they are actually losing faithful players from making all of these events exponentially more difficult for free players. But that being said, free players can also be fortunate in some respects (as a free low level player, my first free RS was Yottie), so have faith and remember that at the end of the day, THIS IS JUST A GAME.

Enjoy your experience, rather than stress over becoming a whale. (:

I'm looking forward to seeing where my AGG adventure leads me. (:

Good luck to you all, and many thanks to anyone who bothers to read this to its entirety.

Peace out.
