Does Xybia do anything? (in legendary events)

[@Jura133]

With regard to the new drop system, I'm suspicious of SP reported rates vs actual rates. I've been recording all of my raids over the last 9 days and compiling an xls doc that averages them out to see if I can hit a normal distribution and what the variation looks like after that. It might not precisely prove anything, but expected rates vs observed rates can be wildly different so IMO it's best to "trust, but verify" with regard to statistical accuracy. I can say that the variation is all over the place and the new system does create some "feels-bad" moments when you need 6 or 12 of something and the rates just aren't as even as they used to be.

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

I will do a couple of videos on this at some point too. Will start with the req pulls then rates. Will be interesting to see how you get on. The way I tested in the past was to do 100 of each type of pull to see what % I finished on

[@etienne8110]

Res pull are useless anyway. Most of it is 5shards and common orbs... The campaign items is an issue though, really slows down the upgrade of your units now that the drops are less reliable.

[@bjornefellhanded9708]

This is fascinating to see how it will play out. You never used to see too much negativity around drop rtes. They're bad, but consistently so and easy to adjust to and consider it normal. Anecdotal, but I'm now seeing a bunch of negative experiences across various media. From a personal perspective, the new system infuriates me. Mercy, if it is such a thing, should kick in from the first failed pull, not eg 4 in then slowly increasing. Frankly, Ive never seen a single system implemented in favor of the players - its always about extracting more money. So with knowing absolutely nothing else but the psychology of these types of games after 10 years of playing them, Id say the new system is worse than the old.

She's going straight to the shadow realm for me

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

Hahah

[@eddielee3928]

Can you please do a video on this so called "mercy" System? Snowprint told me it's working as intended, and it's supposed to give a lot more "good" streaks, but "bad" streaks will occur. Well since the system launched, i've had over 20 "bad' streaks, where 40% drop rate items wind up being only 1 or 2 out of 10, whereas before the system, it'd consistently be 3-5 hits out of ten. I honestly hate the new system, as it's horribly inconsistent and clearly has more negative than positive results. And Snowprints response to those bad streaks are, "It does feel bad when those occur, but good streaks do happen". I sure haven't seen it.

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

I will do. My first one will be on the requisition pulls, then I’ll do one of upgrades too. It’s definitely an interesting topic to dive into.

[@sergiobarrachina3330]

I totally agree! 10x Raid Anuphet shards = 1 shard. 10x Raid Jaeger shards = 1 shards. Next day, 10x Jaeger Raid = 2 shards, 4x Anuphet Raid = 1 shard and I call it the day wasting energy… :-/ I even reported it with screenshots but nothing…

[@mwollan]

battle tip section for character event is great thank you and really liked intro. to be fair whole video is great :)

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

Awesome! Thanks ❤️❤️

[@Mark.O1]

Thanks DB. Really like your vids and content. HRE Mission 21 looks like being a tougher one this time.

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

Thanks, glad you like them ❤️

[@AFAndersen]

Everyone will be leveled up to join the rest at the current minimum rank (S1 for me right now, soon S2). Awesome AI work this video, looks really good! :)

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

Thanks you, it’s getting better isn’t it!

[@PureShrewd]

I really think SP listened to the community! They are hopefully going to balance out the Xenos Factions. NONE of the Xenos synergies with each other. I voted for Genestealers for these reasons.

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

It is certainly an interesting faction! Let’s see how they play out

[@Momomati3000]

Its a bloody sub faction, how is it possible we do not have drukhari but we have them tyranids dogs ...

[@breadmoment7018]

@@Momomati3000GSC are classified as a faction in every source they appear in. Don't know where you're getting this information. Plus we have Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Space Wolves. All Space Marine Subfactions.

The way you described the Genestealer cult sounds like a P diddy party

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

Pretty much spot on with that

[@mrjayq]

Lol

[@Kumquat666]

Interesting, seems like it might play a bit differently but we’ll see. I’m getting Space Hulk vibes.

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

I am quite looking forward to everyone’s take on her!

[@Corusame]

Space Hulk is definitely the main inspiration with the GSC faction. The blips were an important part of the boardgame.

[@realLagMaster]

She works quite well in the Neurotrope meta team. I must say that she is a must

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

Yeah I’ve seen that Roswitha can be replaced sometimes. I don’t use Roswitha much as mine is lower level so I think xybia might fit right in!

[@realLagMaster]

@@DBPreacherTacticus no, with roswitha. She can replace Ahriman. Against non daemons like dorne, she will be there with Ahriman, but morty will most likely have to deal with her.

[@realLagMaster]

And ross

[@ricsoda5108]

I don't see any synergy between her and neuro, excepcional for the basic attack. What did I miss?

[@realLagMaster]

@@ricsoda5108 1. Adds neuro stacks. 2. Multiplies damage by 20% without restrictions for 2 turns. 3. On Daemon bosses can stack 2 times with roswita, for 44% extra damage. 4. If it cannot backfire(aoe or morty summoning poxwalkers), she can create summons to distract adds. 5. She can die once and come back The 20% capless increase when you deal 330000 in 3 instances(2 attacks plus yazagor active extra hit) is 66000 extra damage per hit, aka 198000 extra damage.

[@john-paulsilke893]

I can’t hardly wait. What an odd but interesting choice for a new faction. New weapon choices as well perhaps that some other factions may be able to use?

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

No spoilers from me, we’ll have to all wait and see together ❤️

[@trevormey3430]

Another great video. Thanks Preacher

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

You are welcome!

[@NecroGoblin-yl2fx]

hope the other GSC characters can make Decoys as it seems to unconsistent with the summoning.

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

I can’t imagine it is only xybia that does something with them. They are too slow otherwise!

[@LayronPK]

I think she'll be sitting there at stone 1 for a next year...

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

After playing the new faction war, I’m going to bring all my characters up to iron I minimum. It’s been fun!

[@LayronPK]

@@DBPreacherTacticus can totally agree on that! Leveled up Asmodai to bronze just because of it. Now working on other stone characters 😅

[@RenEigenwicht-j7o]

I'm curious why you think it's stupid, sincerely

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

Why is it a stupid faction?

[@Malignvs]

I don't like Xybia's design. She looks funny to me. Her skills are nothing to write home about either. However, I'm pretty excited for the new faction. Keeping fingers crossed we get the Biophagus next.

[@DBPreacherTacticus]

Fingers crossed indeed!
