Fate/Grand Order |OT2| Two Years Behind Real Hell

The only interesting part of London was the end. Otherwise it was total trash, which hurts me to say as it's my home town.
But at the same time, there are only 2 singularities I could say are objectively good, and maybe 3 that would be in that ok range. The other 6 or 7 would go in that not good to flat out awful range, so at least London is in the majority.
It does make me a bit concerned about the future though. Batting .300 might be fine, but when I know we've already passed the peak I begin to question what I'm still playing for.

Other than the 30 quartz, is there anything else incoming for the second year anniversary, or are we looking at a month wait to coincide with the timing the Fes event had on the Jpn side?
Edit :
Started Argatha, and i got to say ,i forgot how fun it was to try different teams compositions to max bond points, like i did for Shinjuku. Managed to get me to dust off a few servants that had gone unused for quite a while.

There's a lot of good stuff coming, if DW aren't stingy asses like they've been.
I think I'm most excited to see what Japan receives for their fourth anniversary. Is this the year they allow pick tickets? Maybe a spark mechanic!? The pool is so diluted with Servants now, they really need to narrow down your choices if you're pulling from a guaranteed banner. I know I'm probably get my hopes up...
Provided that they don't screw us out of anything, we should get:
10 SQ per Singularity cleared (this is a new form of mission, so you'll get them whenever you clear the Singularity so there's no need to rush)
As daily login bonuses: 10 million QP, 100k friend points, 10 gold ALL exp, 10 hp and 10 atk Fous (I think they're silver Fous), 100 MP, and 10 tickets.
We should start getting material exchange tickets instead of daily materials.
A Memorial Quest that will give us our choice of one of 47 "Formal Dress" CEs.
Holmes trial quest.
Reduced AP costs for part 1 main quests.
1/2 AP dailies during the event.
3x Super/Great success rate during the event.
The All the Statesmen event that gives Bunyan.
And another batch of Strengthening Quests.
Oh, and the paid GSSR, of course (the pool is every SSR so your odds of getting the one you want are low).
Things we MIGHT POSSIBLY get if they continue the trend of us getting the improvements from the next anniversary but SHOULD NOT expect:
Increased 50-day login SQ (20 -> 30) retroactively, so an older player can get a bunch at once.
Increased SQ fragments per Master Mission (2 -> 3).
Increased Servant and CE storage.
Uh it still should be the same amount though seeing that it is retroactive.
FGO already has the Unregistered Spirit Origin system, though it's not the same thing as a pity rate or spark system; DW doesn't seem generous enough to implement both at the same time. Can't see them phasing out the guaranteed 5* paid banners in favor of a paid choice 5* ticket either if they haven't done so already, though anything's possible.
For reference, this is how the paid banners have worked out over the years:
New Year 2016 - all permanent 5* to date (plus Okita) - 11 total
1st Anniversary - all non-limited 5* to date split between Saber/Archer/Lancer/Jeanne and Rider/Caster/Berserker/Jack - 9/10 per pool
New Year 2017 - all non-limited 5* to date split between each class (Jeanne thrown in the Assassin pool with lonely Jack) - 2-4 per pool
2nd Anniversary - all 5* to date thrown into one massive group - 57 total
New Year 2018 - all 5* to date split between Saber/Archer/Lancer/Ruler/Avenger and Rider/Caster/Assassin/Berserker/(Kiara/Melt/Abby) - 27/30 per pool
3rd Anniversary - all 5* to date split by class (all Extras grouped together) for half price - 7-10 per pool
New Year 2019 - all limited-only 5* to date thrown into one group for half price - 43 total
So going by the rough pattern so far, either limited-only split into two pools or jumping straight to limited-only by class seems to be a good bet.

When you say part 2 do you mean the lost belts?
Damn that's a lot of good stuff. Hopefully we don't get screwed...
Yeah, it's probably too much wishing on my part. Sometimes I wish the Fate series (and FGO in relation) wasn't so popular, that way they would likely be a little more generous with in-game currency and the rates (such as making a proper pity/spark mechanic, and not the current one they have - let's be honest, NP5+'ing a particular Servant isn't exactly easy).
It'll be interesting to see what they do. Then we wait two years to (hopefully) receive the same thing!
So I hear you like Bronze Fou...
Because summer is coming I've been working on my default caster team again. I think I finally have something I'm happy with. Well I don't have it, I still need to pull the servants, but it's better than what I have been doing vs assassins which was hoping for the best lol.
LOL. It's sad that I can see it as well. I'll never forget that feeling when they said 10 quartz followed by Albert saying "you see why we couldn't say anything?!"
I wanna finish the new story but I want Summer Raikou first to get bond points for her. That or even wait for October time when Raikou comes back for Shimosa.
Yeah. I don't have a jpn account so i'm basing myself only on others reception, but the lostbelts stories seems to be well liked.
I found that using
Euryale and an Arts team
Will be interesting to see what happens after limited-only by class, but that's probably at least a year away. In the meantime, what I'm hoping is that the next 4* ticket will include some old limited servants, namely the first batch of summer 4*s.
I'll add her to the back row. I'm still trying with the bond farm CEs, I got really close twice now. I just fucked up a run by breaking 1 gauge on Rider and then his buff on Megalos killed everyone since that was their NP turn.
Hahaha nope, story freebie servants are over. Remnants give you nothing, and Lostbelts give you a story-themed 4* CE and add it into the story summon pool instead.

That honestly sounds like a huge waste. No one was trying the story summon pool for the story locked servants anyway, so who the heck is gonna try it for CE of all things.
Sorry, should have been more specific. You get one free copy of the new CE for clearing the chapter but to get more to MLB it you need to go to story summon. Don't think any of them so far are that worth it though.
Hold on, wait, are you going after Rider before Megalos? Why? Megalos is by far the bigger threat and should be targeted first.
I kinda liked him in this story. Well, until his ending speech. What the hell was that?
He was imo the worst offender of repeating the same shit ad infinitum the whole way through, the ending speech was just the cherry on the cake.
I would like to know what the writer was on when they wrote that and what they bribed the editors with to not touch it.

Same With Scheherazade. She kept repeating the same thing ad nauseam. Also, if every singularity is a world ending threat then no singularity is a world ending threat.
I find it hard to care about stakes and two bit villains when we've already stopped the incineration of man. You can't escalate from that.

That's a bit how I feel as well, I wouldn't say I don't care because shinjuku was still a fun romp, but I don't "feel" we're as much in danger as we were in let's say america, camelot, or babylonia.
I'm still interested in the remaining EoR stories though.
I can see the Bunyan event coming out a little later than the aniversery start, I think that might've happened in Japan too. They've been posting two of the Learning With Manga comics a week for a little while now on their Twitter instead of one, we should get Bunyan's introduction to the comic right around or right after AX.
Bit of an open question -- for servants outside of the three main supports (Waver/Tamamo/Merlin) and Mash, what are some of the non-NP-charge skills that people have maxed out? Trying to decide what to spend some lores on since I've just kind of been accumulating them without using them too much so far.
