Now that Offerings aren't put into the Map Device to run Uber Lab...

...can we make it so putting one into the Map Device opens a random Map Trial instead?!

Pros:
1. Players under 6/6 map trials will no longer experience disappointment/frustration when encountering a map trial

Cons:
1. Acquiring your 4th ascendancy becomes a fair amount "easier" (less Channel 820 for trading leagues; less time spent grinding in SSF leagues)

Come join Standard everyone, we can hang out in our lv8 Leo hideouts and never worry about uber trials again!

I am in Standard... Standard SSF

Or you can just....run some actual maps. They aren't that rare. It takes me a few days at most in new leagues on SSF to find them all.

Lemme introduce you to a little friend I like to call "RNG..."

Your challenges show 32 boss kills. Let me guess, you have 'way' more but skipped low tier map bosses. I mean there is always an excuse. What do you expect? 30 maps, uber opened? That's not rng, that's just lack of trying.

Challenges? I just mentioned that this is a problem on SSF Standard.

For reference: You do realise that there are players who truly believe they can consistently make a profit from manual 6-linking because "the chances aren't that bad, I get it in 200-300 fuses every league," yes?

I like the idea, especially now when the offerings have no other purpose.

I've gone hundreds of maps deep without finding all trials before, it can get really frustrating. Especially that last elusive one, and you keep getting dupes of the ones you've already done.. Happens a lot to me.

Remember this thread?

Level 1-85, I found a grand total of 3 uber trials (2 of them the same)

You guys all seem so unlucky! I got 3 trials in under 7 Maps. Sorry to hear about your luck and hope it turns around.

I try to minimise the frustration as much as possible by explicitly telling myself, "It's going to be another dupe." But somehow, English doesn't translate as well to the subconscious, and when I go up and actually see the name, I get the let-down feeling regardless.

Great memory! My luck has turned around the other direction, it seems.

(And unfortunately, Chris insists the game should be centered around multiplayer and trading, so one can't use "it would make SSF feel better" as an argument to convince them of anything...)

(And of course, even when I do get streaks of trials like that... none of them are the 1/6 I'm looking for!)
