Real talk here. Please stay constructive. I think there's some useful discussion here, and I'm open to feedback or similar experiences. My intention is not to vent or open up a negative discussion. Thanks.
So, let me start off by saying I'm close. I'm on 5.2.5. I wanted to outline some reasons I haven't pushed through yet.
1. Grinding - I'm a Grinder, mostly. I spend the majority of my time Grinding the Arena. Storymode has always been something that I do with free time. That entirely depends on what else is going on for me, and what else is going on in the game. Until Uncollected was introduced, there was never much motivation to get it done faster.
2. Ongoing Issues - Not a rant. Just a cause. Every month with EQ, there are newer and better Champs released, and I'm all for it. However, the lag becomes unbearable with Master for me. I'm on an Android 7.1.1 Tablet, and for some reason that lags more than my Android 8.0 phone. Problem is, my hands are too big for the phone to play properly. In any case, I spend literally hundreds upon thousands of Units completing Master 100% most months because the controls won't work. Evade won't kick in, Bosses move much faster than me, most times I start the Fight and get killed as soon as it starts. Which means I have to Revive, just to be killed again. This will go on until I do each pass. Some runs go better than others and I don't use anything. Others, it kills me over and over.
3. Priorities - Putting Grinding and EQ before Story is just my natural draw to playing. It's what I've chosen because I enjoy them more. However, all my energy and Resources go into that, and I'm left empty each month.
4. Resources - Grinding, I can pull in about 1k Units a week, average. Problem is, it all goes to EQ or extra content. Occasionally, I'll go all out on Crystals, but mostly it's dealing with the lag. When I say lag, I mean unable to use controls at all properly. Really bad.
5. Patience - Pretty much all my patience is tried because I've spent so long focusing on shorter Fights in the Arena, and dealing with issues.
So, I'm opening this discussion because my choices are becoming trying for me. I'm open to a healthy discussion on how others have allocated their time. I think this is the last month I put myself through the cycle. After this EQ, I will probably save my Resources and not touch Master until I finish 5.2. I think it's important to point out my mistakes incase it helps anyone else, and anyone can relate. It's definitely worth more to finish Uncollected. I get that. I've just been stuck in a cycle of doing the same thing over and over. The floor is open.
