Is there some estimate of the number of active FE players and how we're progressing towards free Hinata?

I want to know how many points each of us should contribute to make this happen and do my part

I probably contributed around 20 times, thanks to Laevatein. I personally don't like Fury so I don't have a lot of units with it.

I'd say we're progressing poorly because they immediately offered to double our numbers. To me that sounds like we weren't even trying. I myself had the mentality that i'm sure everyone else can achieve this without me, and it looks like many others had the same thought.

They post updates on Twitter. At the beginning of today we were at 7,677,733/10,000,000 times. The way I've been contributing is to run 4 fury units to all the easy and hard chain challenges that I never bothered to complete. It also gives me more feathers, so that's nice.

That's sad that people don't want FREE UNITS! You know what those equate to? FREE FEATHERS! If you don't care about Hinata, then don't ruin it for everyone else who actually want Fury for fodder. Just take your free Hinata and send him home for your free feathers. This is literally a win/win situation that people don't care to want a FREE unit.

Its less than people dont want a free unit, and more like they just dont care, or are unwilling to make the effort for it.
Lets be honest, fury is a long outdated skill, so the days of desperately looking for hinatas are long over.

Report

Outdated? It still sees use pretty much everywhere. I mean, even if you do have fodder for expensive skills like Steady Breath or DC that are more useful, Fury is one of the best generalist skills out there.

Report

I disagree. While it is a good generalist skill, there are so many good specific or niche skills nowadays that a jack of all trades no longer measures up to those.
Add that fury doesnt get you a higher sp cost for arena, and all of a sudden it not that appealing of an option.

Report

That's a fair point. Still, it remains one of the best skills for certain useful things that other skills don't currently do, like getting into Desperation/Vantage range without being counterattacked on or adding to both offensive and defensive stats permanently. Also, keep in mind that Arena isn't the only gamemode—Fury is a godsend for PvE content, which tends to be pretty balanced offensively/defensively just because of the sheer number of enemies faced.
And regardless of how outclassed it is, that doesn't mean it's useless. Fury will never have less value than 300 Hero Feathers.

Why is not using units with fury ruining other people's fun? We're not obligated to try and complete this challenge just because some people want some fury fodder. If most people don't care about one fury fodder, why should they have to? If we get a free fodder unit, then that's great, but I don't care enough to use teams I wouldn't normally use, none of which have fury. That doesn't mean I'm ruining your fun, it just means I don't value something I don't need enough to change my playstyle. The only reason IS is giving fury fodder, is that they know nobody cares about it. When they start doing this for brazens or fighter skills, people will start to care. And if you really think about it, this 'free' fodder isn't really free as you need to spend stamina and time grinding maps for either one skill or 150 feathers which you can get from daily quests.

TLDR: If most people don't care about the free fodder, why should they have to complete this challenge for a small minority who care about it?

Report

The point of this event is that everyone pitches in. I myself, for example, highly value Fury for budget builds, so even if you don't value Fury, you *are* ruining the fun of whoever does enjoy it. And Fury isn't the only example! This is probably a warmup—they said they'd be giving out units like GHB units, which might be more popular to a majority. Just wait, all right? It's not really a big deal, chill.

GHBs cost 0 stamina btw

Report

It still costs my time. Why would I waste time doing something very tedious and grindy just to get a unit I don't need? Like you said, when/if the GHB units or something better than Hinata are done, then more people will care, but no one cares about something they can rather easy. It's not worth the time spent on it.

Report

I'd say we're progressing poorly because there isn't any big new content, just little bits and pieces. They should've waited until Tempest Trials start up to do this.

Report

Well, it did say Heroic Feats Round One. They're going to continue it. I'm sure our quotas will be filled a lot faster in the coming rounds, with TT active.

Report

That and at this point fury has been powercreeped almost to the point where it's obsolete. I have a bunch of Hinatas waiting to be used, because fury just isn't a great skill outside of arena stat boosting. Even then, all of the serious players already have a lot of fury fodder.
