Lets be honest, Forging Bonds is a trash game mode

It's yet another grinding game mode, but at that, an inconsistent one. Why is it that in one match I can get up to 80 points while in another I can get like 20?? Imagine TT in which you get A's across the board and get 2k points and you play again getting the same grade but only getting like 1.4k points. Doesn't that second run feel like a waste of 20 sp? That's how I feel about Forging Bond. It's bad enough they're making play random maps with random enemies that really have nothing to do with what's happening in the little story of forging bonds but then the amount of bounds I get is completely random so it just takes longer to do? I guess the rewards are tho, really love Pope HARDIN(I know it's a priests hat but Damn it leave me alone) and the conversations are nice but would it kill IS to put more effort into the actual game play of the game mode? Imagine they allowed you to play with the bond heroes in that map, maybe a few times? Maybe get people to pull for units They didn't know they wanted or something like that. And I really want them to fix the system of how much bonds we get in a match. The only thing that should be random is what bond we should get I guess.

Needs tweaking? Yes.
Trash? I disagree.

And wasting SP, at least for me, isn't much of a problem considering the 230+ SP Potions I have stored.

Idk when I play the mode it's not really fun, at least for me, and I think if the mode doesn't have me excited to play then for the most part it's bad. That's my opinion tho if you enjoy it then power to you

I have 90

I'm just accepting the fact that
There is new accessories to be unlocked and loads of feathers. I'm happy the stamina is reduced from 15 to 10. I'm only in it for rewards.

Goddamn that was fucking quick XD. Yeah I can appreciate the rewards but the problem is that the actual task is just play a stratum match and I feel for a game mode it should be more

Yeah that's true, but look at Hector with his Helmet. It looks Amazing.

That matches perfectly gotta get that myself.

Damn.

I actually need the feathers...

We're always in the need of feathers. It's cool that we get some in this mode but I just wish the mode itself was something fun to do

Huh, I really like the mode. Along with the tactic maps, it's the best new addition for me. I guess yeah, the difference in amounts each time can be frustrating but I don't mind it too much as I'm working towards a cap goal and not the most amount of points possible.
About the stamina amount, they did lower it didn't they? I think it was 15 for advanced mode before. 10 is good imo since training tower costs you 9 sp as well and it's a good way to actually get rid of stamina potions. I've got 245 lying around now

Yeah they did lower the stamina and it's something I over looked I'm sorry about that. That's definitely a nice change aa you get to play it more on one potion, but the game itself isn't anything special. It's basically like playing a stratum match, nothing really to it. Of course that's just my thoughts on it. If you enjoy it that's cool but may I ask what exactly do you enjoy about it?

I like killing shit and getting rewarded for it... Stratum matchs gives me nothing I need and with 265 sp potions with nothing better to use them on

i don't like killing cute cartoons

:D I really like the rewards tbh, like you said it's kinda like doing a stratum match, but the fact that I can get nice rewards (feathers, orbs, accessories) + the additional supports and dialogues really makes it for me. There's something to look forward too when I fight the map.
They're also short enough to not get bored by them like TT where doing a couple matches after each other can really tire me out (even if I autobattle 90% of them).

And while the mode is nothing too special, it's very casual, which is what I like as well. In comparision VG, TT and GC are very competitive and even though I like those modes (not so much GC though) too, I find doing FB easier because you really only beat the cap point and that's it.

Hope you can find some joy in them too!

I hate Let's Be Honest phrases because its usually an opinion. I love this mode. I think its the best new mode for awhile.

Ok but you mind telling me what exactly about the game mode you like about it?

I love that the game mode tries to be a little more about the characters persons than just the characters stats. And the dialogue between everyone is a bit better imo than anything else done in the game. I also very much enjoy the rewards. I want improvements, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. Like I think that there should be a final interaction scene with everyone defeating the attackers or it at least having an end. There should probably be more interesting in game mechanics (I think this should be something more like an endless assault kind of mode). Still love it

Well I agree with what you said. Trying to let players learn more about the characters, which is even better for no player who have no idea who they are or their personalities,and the rewards are nice. Most importantly for me tho they really do have to add more interesting game mechanics because its really bare bones.

You state you hate phrases that are opinions, and then you give an opinion? What's the difference. Yours is a positive opinion and the ones you hate are negative. Ying yang bro. People can say what's good and more importantly what's bad. Without it there isn't any indication for improvement.

I'm just use it for SP grinding this time round. Last time I just used 4 DC dragons which meant it didn't even require thinking about. It's boring but it has easy rewards.

Yeah I'm just using my armor units to get it over it. That's my problem tho I feel like covering up a bad game mode with easy rewards is just not how you should make a game mode. Wouldn't it be great if the mode wasn't boring? Not only are you getting easy rewards but you're also enjoying yourself while doing it like how games are suppose to be like.

That would be preferable. It's the same with Tap Battle, I just mash the button and accept the rewards. I suppose there's only so much you can do with a game like this but I hope they're not out of good ideas already.

Same for me not a big fan of tap battle. Yeah I hope they have more ideas for the game it's only been a year, which is honestly to early to be running out of ideas. I'm certain they have stuff planned ahead.

Speaker of truth.

Had to throw it out there didn't really know how others felt about it.

12k feathers + orbs
No mode really sucks if you can appreciate those rewards.
