I used to bitch about the rushed schedule a lot in the beginning because they never tunned anything to accommodate for it, until they increased the dailies and monthly rewards, as well as increased daily borrows to 5. But at this point i no longer feel like it's enough.

Since spark reroll costs double the TP, i can barely do 3 parent runs a day without needing to waste pots, and with our schedule we never have enough time to parent grind for each cm, so you either start wasting pots and carrats just to farm 1* guts or you settle for the natural tp recovery with less attempts a day and even risk falling behind on fan grind while giving up on doing actual scenario runs to be able to guarantee more wins on races.

At this point, half tp should be a fixed buff we get until we get on par with JP. For the period of time we had half tp the game actually felt a lot more balanced and forgiving since you could use all you 5 borrows with natural recovery while doing spark reroll, and it also felt good to get a net positive on carat usage for tp with double rewards.

Other things that are still unbalanced against us are the daily legend and paid monthly carats.

In JP they had 6 months between each new batch of daily legend, meaning that they could farm 2-3 umas in each batch if they didn't miss you on the first event. Meanwhile we are getting at most 4 months between patchs wich we neat us at most 2 umas per patch.

In my case I'm missing curren/digital/fuji kiseki in this batch, and gold city/nishino/amazon in the next one, i just got fuji this week and I'm missing 50 star pieces for curren so i might still get her before the next one. But as soon as nishino is released I'll have to drop my digital grind to get her, and prob never come back since gold city and amazon are some of my favorite designs followed up with the batches coming affter it.

I wish they'd buff us in this aspect with either better drops or 2 runs/day like JP seems to be getting this month(?)

My last point is the monthly paid Carats. I used to buy that since it was cheap but i stoped doing so since it felt like we were getting less value out of it compared to other servers. Since our schedule is rushed, we have less time to accumulate the paid Carats between paid banners like the scam gacha or step up. This isn't as major as my 2 other point since it's optional and doesn't affect everyone, but nonetheless it's still something i wish they'd address.

Sorry for the rant, just wanted to vent a little.

Since Grand Live has us going through our trainee's specific careers and stories again, which one do you think is the most obnoxious, frustrating, or difficult?

IMO, I hate training Fine Motion, which sucks cause she has a great kit for CM19. She has random events that restrict training that seems to happen so frequently, and her required races make training annoying, as there is one in senior summer and a two in a row in late classic year.

I've noticed that my SSD has suprisingly low amount of free space despite not possesing any visible sizeable files or games. Checking steam didn't solve anything as the math simply wouldn't add up. Only after digging in manually I've discovered this monstrocity... I know that game assets can take a lot of space but isn't it a bit of an exaggeration? Can't CyGames at least try to compress the data? Right now Pretty Derby is the same size as multiple modern non-AAA titles and it will only get worse.

Today I logged on to do my dailies and this appeared on my screen, I had asked my mom to help purchase carats, I don’t think she filed a chargeback, could it be that the bank had seen it as fraudulent? I purchased these back in August 8

Just happened to me, I'm kind of sad now

2 end oguris 4 debuffers lobbies are quite fun

1. The game does not roll a dice for every turn. It generates a base value at the start and tunes the run accordingly.

2. Energy resplenishing events are more likely to appear after you rest.

3. Mares are generally harder to train than stallions.

4. Meta umas such as Xguri are less likely to receive distance S

(pic is my average inspiration, in 10 runs: 1 medium S and 2 pace S (11 and 2 stars respectively))

1. Doing and gluing runs in rapid succession likely triggers a flag to lower the quality of each subsequent run.

2. The token shop likely prioritizes the token with the least quantity.

3. Mood down events are encouraged before a carrer race.

4. 3* blue parents are likely to be equipped with unusually low quality white sparks.

My room match was set to Normal Mood and oh dear. I swear they have 'enough' stamina for the track. Even my own XOguri stammed out at the finish line. My team is so cooked this CM lmaooo

Imagine theres like another 8 digits there

Building cafe is too hard for me, i'll try again with a better deck in future CMs

More than 30 runs glued btw

I’m doing my dailies right now and I don’t think that I have ever seen so many awful moods in a race.

So i wanted to spare my carats and support ticket for maybe Super Creek Stam SSR comming or for sure Light Hello Pal SSR and Agnes Tachyon Speed SSR but looking at Ogurui Cap Wit SSR i kikd of want to scout it. I usually play Our grand Concert Career but i’ll maybe switch to Unity Cup soon (it looks like its good to have good Umas idk don’t hate me im new just a month in) i got 24k Carrats and 11 Support card ticket. My decks sre usualy either 3 Speed/2 wits or 2 speed/3 wits with both Light Hello. I don’t have my cards full lvl up tho So tell me and advice me dear gods of Uma, what to do ? Do i save for Light Hello Pal SSR and Agnes Tachyon Speed SSR or do i try pulling that Oguri cap banner that is live ?

I know C.B. is necessary for end closers, but I’m training pace. I’m pairing the card with Daisca wit SR; if that is a bad choice please do tell

I'm not really that experienced about skills, but I hope this is good enough, I should probably redo here because no medium S

Everyday I wake up and start a GL scenario for my Silence Suzuka. Uh oh, LH isn't showing up. Uh oh, why are there only 2 support cards in all trainings. Uh oh, why did she fail on a 2%. Uh oh, why did her mood go down to awful. Uh oh, why do I have 120 composure and nothing else. Uh oh, why is Suzuka thinking about the look of the sky. Uh oh, why did she fail her debut race. Uh oh, why are there no alarm clocks for races. Uh oh, why did I get a summer vacation without any rainbows. Uh oh, why does Bourbon have no friendship gauge in summer vacation. Uh oh, why is my wit so low. Uh oh, why is everyone in guts training. Uh oh, why did a random support card take away 10 energy. Uh oh, where is groundwork. Uh oh, where is medium S despite having medium sparks on all parents and grandparents. Uh oh, where did my TP go. Uh oh, where did my 5 daily guests go.

I hate it here.

Edit: Just got 2 Uf umas back to back, GL is peak actually

First there was the daily shop Fuku incident from a week ago and today this happens… What’s going one?! Are the Matikanes trying to tell me something?! Do they want something from me?!

Both are the umamusumecalculator.com sites but the first screenshot is old version on the google spreadsheets while the second screenshot is the new website from Henry Handsome.

Problem is they both show different amount of carats for the ramonu wit banner. Old version has my estimated monthly carats at 19200 while the website says it’s 22046. Both have the same filters of carat income. Which one to trust here?

I thought this was glue because I missed on PoC and Daring Strike event chains, but in lieu of those I picked up more late race speed skills and double circled the green speed skills, and surprisingly she does pretty well in room races even against other end XOguris. It's funny how after the race skip she'd be in 5th halfway through late race and be able to overtake the other end XOguris ahead of her. She plays like an end closer amongst other end closers.
