FE has definitely devoured all my free time outside doing dailies. Basically cut back my gacha games to just DL and a couple others that I actually do the dailies and not just get the daily login. Don't have the free time to talk extensively about games or scour for fan art like I usually do (especially since a lot of DL artists are ALSO playing FE, and I don't wanna get spoiled).
That being said, I appreciate that Erasmus is a 30% Strength dragon. Hopefully going forward every welfare dragon is Strength-based since they're the best welfare option compared to HP or mixed (or crit-based like Shishimai) dragons.
Some fanart of Erasmus, which there's been a decent amount of. I guess his design really struck a chord with a lotta folks (he's called Elmo in Japan, which I guess wouldn't sound as great in English for obvious reasons):

I was little sad they changed that, because the St Elmo's Fire reference would be more obvious, but turns out his original name was actually Erasmus.
What's the quest that gives the most Silver Emblems? I have 5000 gold and 1000 bronze ones but silver is somehow hard to get.
Has most of the discussion moved to alliances now? lol
Just played some co-op and while I admit I got a kick out of this dude's username, we still need a way to easily report stuff like this that isn't exactly tasteful to such a welcoming and friendly game.
EDIT: "Tasteful" probably isn't the best word to use in this context for obvious reasons. 🥴

I wouldn't say so, its just a very slow time in dragalia land. IMHO they're better off staggering news instead of being radio silent for as long as they have.
Not in the least, unless Boom! counts as discussion.
I'm also feeling a void in terms of where I can discuss gameplay mechanics, and I'm still coming off of being really annoyed at the Gala Cleo and 20/90 meta shifts. While I'm still concerned about Alliances becoming a meta part of progression in the future, right now its the opposite - I could be in a 1-man Alliance and it would barely impact my play. Ideally I'd like to be working on first clear HJT soon because I'm running out of Dragons to feed, but between Gala Cleo poisoning the well of PUG matchmaking and Alliance chat being dead, I haven't felt like it yet.
Alliance chat is tough since you can chat before you setup a room; but you lose the ability to discuss once you're in a lobby.
Also when I see a join notification; by the time I go to the alliance chat screen it's "All set, thanks!" It'd be nice if the alliance notifications were a bit more descriptive like "Looking for Group for HBH."

Next event has been datamined
Next Astral raid
It's a facility event that will buff Bow and Dagger.
"Hello I'm siren, everyone said they're willing to help me build the stage for me to sing in front of the crowd. I look forward to it. Although everyone is afraid of me, but I'll try my best to perform. So be sure to come to the performance. The next event in dragalia lost. Summer has yet to end.."

Oh god now I really want
Siren
Siren is probably an adventurer (with I guess some random Sylvan we never met)

Karina was in the Dragalia Life issue today. I sure hope she gets a fashionably late alt, right as the pirate raid ends. But if
really is going to be an adventurer, as indicated in the art, that means there isn't enough room for S!Luca, S!Verica, and S!Karina. Perhaps we can get two 5* and two 4* adventurers this time?

I wonder if this means that we'll be getting a Halidom upgrade sooner rather than later.
At the max Halidom level, there was enough room for all assumed future facilities to fit. (so Shadow Fafnir, Shadow Dracolith, Light Slime Statue, and a second event facility for the elements that don't have a second one yet) But now it looks like we're expanding beyond those types of facilities and there won't be enough space for everything in that case. So will we be getting Halidom level 10 (and 11?) before too long?

My only two 50 MC adventurers at the moment are Waike and Renelle, so this pleases me greatly. :D
Speaking of which, I'm still holding out hope that the latter gets a summer alt, as she would totally fit in with the "treasure" theme of this event. Please, Cygames. :(
Does this mean for the event only bows and daggers will do bonus damage? Cause I've been really neglecting my dagger facilities...
I'm going to guess not. Probably standard boost to water adventurers.
Has the bonus damage even been element restricted? I think it's only the regular facility stat bonuses that get restricted, not the event-only damage bonus.
So... no, I think you'll be fine, hah.
Look at this and take comfort in it, Chrono.
There are DL players out there who have suffered more than you.
Holy now I feel downright disgusting for getting Mym and Cleo without ever spending something on the game so far :(
Makes me feel bad for getting her in 4 single ticket pulls -- 1 of those pulls was free too.
Wow that's nice! And yeah same, I got Mym with my free 10x ticket we got back then, right when I was dreading gatcha-hell it didn't even start for me since I got her right away.
Nice! I spent all my wyrmmyte and tickets trying to get Mym. Never did. =( Getting Gala Cleo sort of makes up for it.
That said, I'm heading into the next limited banner pretty stacked!
33,360 wyrmmyte, 3 10 folds, 1 limited 10 fold, and 127 single summons.
Oh sorry to hear about Mym but wow yeah you are in for a haul! Meanwhile I sit at 6000 Wyrmite and nothing else from trying to pull Siren but yeah I shouldn't complain :P
It feels good to know I'm not alone, haha.

Please bring us spark for the anniversary, Cygames!
All this begging for a feature that forces players to not have fun with a game 99% of the time so they can super-pull 1% of the time.
I hate the idea of Sparking and hope a combination of generous Wyrmite and Dream Summons take its place. As it is, I get annoyed that there are times every two months where the value of a pull goes up dramatically (Gala), but to double down on that and force 300 batch summons would force me to abandon the playstyle I use in every Gacha - don't log off with a pull unless I intend to use that resource for Stamina/Wing refills (or in DL's case, Daily Deal). Right now I accept that I'm unlikely to get a Gala unit in the next year+, even when Gala Cleo is a meta-ruining thing, because I can use matchmaking filters to avoid Gala Cleo in non-Shadow content and use Solo to avoid her in Shadow content.
Sometimes I just want to play an extended session. I dropped 450 Wyrmite this morning so I could stay in the same room with a Lv68 Marth player in Void Zephyr and get him/her about 60 clears. Sparking says no to that, too.
Anniversary will be a key moment for me. If the power creep continues at a Gala Cleo and 20/90 pace (Ieyasu was NOT this, and Welfare Botan/Sazanka/Addis are functionally close in DPS anyway, it was only that launch Shadow was underpowered) and if Sparking comes to force an even more generic meta where everyone has the flavor-of-the-month OP character, I might be done with DL. I've already suspended my spending since the Alliance announcement, which so far has been a scary but functionally awful feature.

I always hoard anyway, so sparking is great for me. It guarantees I can get what I'm after. If you're more of a YOLO player, I can see how you might hate it though.
Also, considering there's no PVP or competitive content (yet, anyway), power-creep isn't really an issue in DL. At the most, all it does is make farming raids and other content a lot easier/faster if you're running with people who have those particular characters, which isn't exactly a bad thing.

To use a F/GO analogy, would you prefer having Waver/Merlin in every Caster support slot? I'm not current with F/GO JP so pardon me if Merlin has been power crept by now.
This is that but worse, because you have less control over who you play with in Co-Op and their presence makes a larger impact. At least in F/GO you can control who is on your friend list, which dictated what supports you had access to, and you could backline them if you really wanted to.

Considering I went around 350 pulls on Merlin's initial banner and didn't get him, if it meant me having to put up with everyone having Merlin in their caster slot for me to have him, I would gladly accept.
Honestly, given how FGO handles their Servants and with most people sharing their favorites (as well as events giving bonuses to specific Servants), even if they did implement a spark mechanic in FGO I doubt it would change much. People would still share who they most like, especially if it meant more people having access to Servants they really want (due to the spark mechanic).
I can't see the spark mechanic ever being a bad thing in a PVE game, assuming you don't mind saving up for the amount needed to complete the spark. As mentioned, I always save for my favorite characters anyway, so nothing would change for me other than having that guaranteed safety net.
