What kind of score should I be getting on the efficiency trainer before I can get a yaku in-game? I can usually hit around 80% with it, which sounds alot better than it apparently is...
Caleb Stewart
If no one is above 30k, the game keeps going until someone gets enough.
Asher Wood
What the fuck is wrong with you? Why do you hate chinese so much?
Owen Taylor
I would say 95%? Efficiency comes into conflict with safety, information and score. Can be efficient all you want, but putting down a 4,5, 6 is a huge tell.
Elijah Brooks
3/4!
Elijah Thomas
You're not going to trick me again.
Eli Cruz
What does the red 5 tile mean?
Aiden Carter
It's bonus 1000 points if you have it, like the dora.
If the dora tile is 4 and you have a red 5, it's 2000 points.
Got some bad news This game is gonna get a lot of support cut from now on... China released their new gaming regulation laws yesterday and it says any game involving Poker/Mahjong is strictly outlawed in China.
Losing such a huge market will force them to focus on a different game
Michael Parker
Probably why they're trying out the western market.
Man, china sucks ass.
Brandon Cooper
Good, I hate Mahjong and I hate myself for spending the last 72 hours trying to learn this shit.

Imagine if China and Korea didn't have puritanian restriction on creative stuff. They'd probably be as good as Japan.
Landon Edwards
I wish the character designs were better. They're all unironically just soulless archetypes.
My nigga C'mon my nigga My nigga I have also lost 3 days to this game and to this thread. They have been the most eventful 3 days I've had in a long time. My nigga you have almost reached the point where it will click and the most optimal move will be obvious each turn. Keep playing. Keep asking questions. Once you "get it" and start actually playing intentional Mahjong there is no going back.
I am game dev in Japan, I'm not saying they will 100%, but every game developer relies on Chinese market at the moment, there is not a single game company in the world that ignores China and succeeds (Except online Casino companies)
Even my company had to cancel our project because China's new game guideline says "No marriage related content" and our game is about marriage
Korea is pretty open now, it's just China being really unreasonable
Things you can't have according to yesterday: no religion, poker, mahjong, skeleton, NO LIQUID COMING OUT OF BODY IN COMBAT OF ANY KIND (can't have those 'fake blood'), marriage, politics, etc.
Xavier Thomas
Fucking finally. Can't wait for the stinky chinkys to be gone.
>This is getting an mobile app release, right? Yeah. >Are there at least some kind of basic play guides in the game itself? They're pretty good. There's also a clear list for different hands.
It's honestly a bad thing. Mahjong is too niche to survive on /vg/, otherwise there'd already be a general there.
Rather attract as many new players as possible and limit the threads to a weekly thing once this thing blows over.
Andrew Bennett

Joshua Robinson

Owen Green
They're bunch of soulless insects. well known fact.
Jason Mitchell
The game is dying soon, there is 0 incentive to pull gacha and most of the cosmetics are locked behind gacha or shitty rng with gift bags. The maximum 5 single draws from 50 donation dust is locked behind a retarded grind. It's boring to see the same characters, hear the exact same lines over and over again, might as well just play tenhou.
Jordan Bennett
To be honest luck has a bigger impact in east only games. The more games you play the less of a factor someone's luck is so we can assume south is more like based and also favors different playstyles. In east only rounds you'll have to open most of the time and it makes sense so it favors aggressive playstyle.

Isn't that for new licenses only? The game is already out in China, after all.
You're a dealer so it's kinda obvious. You should pon You win fast or even make a mangan hand. There's no reason to wait and hope for tiles. Besides the more rounds you stay as a deal the bigger bonus you get.
Honestly that's one of the prices China paid to break away from the old traditions and modernize. Whether or not it was worth it is subjective but they probably would've been fully conquered by now otherwise.
Lincoln Walker

I've played for three days. As a result completed a term paper 10 minutes before the due date in one session during an ongoing 24 hour crunch. I'd be higher rank if SOMEONE had mentioned that South games were the way to go if you take the closed hand pill.

John Smith
you'll find out once you start playing with non-trash players
Christian Powell
limiting your hand variety if you want to change it less points easier for people to tell what you are waiting for
Austin Bennett
Does call rate refer to chiis and pons and kans?
Benjamin Barnes
Sure. As far as I've heard the main thing you'll need to watch out for with FF14 mahjong is that it shows you the dora itself, rather than the dora indicator, so mentally you'll need to remember that there's one less tile available for what should be the indicator. Other than that it's normal riichi mahjong, and the same strategies apply.
Kayden Campbell

Most of the time your hand is barely worth anything.

Eli Powell
>I've been here about lets see, three days straight now and I'm fairly certain I have a problem.
If it's like Tenhou, the new kandora is only flipped after you discard if you call an open kan. If you rinshan tsumo, there's no discard, and so there's no new kandora. It's flipped immediately with closed kans though.
Eli Jenkins
Oh shit nigga, you got banished to the shadow realm.
Jacob Green

Jeremiah Morgan
Yes and i would say that isnt a bad thing. The deal in rate however, i think you are trying too hard to riichi so you end up deal in a lot .

But since they already got approved, I dont know how this will affect the game
The mobile port might be fucked though
Ryan Wood
Higher ranked rooms of gameplay.
Chase Clark
Real world tournament rulesets just flip the kandora immediately. Chombos are only handed down when you make a mistake so bad that the round can't reasonably continue as normal - for smaller mistakes you just get a dead hand.
Just join a social group and play casually for a while to get used to playing with real tiles, and then you can think about joining tournaments or going to mahjong parlors in Japan.
Only when someone has called pon, and they draw the last tile and decide to upgrade the pon to a kan.

I can't believe I got away with a Chii Toitsu waiting on the final Dora tile after it's been dealt twice.
Jacob Butler
my favourite yaku
Robert Price
No, yes. You can pon chii kan all you want until you've got one tile left, and even if you have no other yaku you can still win by rinshan, chankan, haitei, or houtei, as long as you're a despicable lucksack. Not recommended though.
Yup, it has many ease of use features that can allow someone who has no idea what they're doing (>you) to automatically know when you have a winning hand. That removes a lot of the mental load required to play and streamlines your decision making so you can just play.
It also means you're gonna lose a lot to clueless idiots at first and get really angry.

So what are the chances of this getting an anime adaptation?
I played against many first timers here. Just wanna say that a lot of you guys are calling on impulse way too often and even forgetting yaku. Remember that Tanyao can't have 1 or 9. Call only when you're sure you can win fast or have Dora to boost your cheap score. Anything else you better not calling at all and wait for Riichi.
Aiden Allen
>try not to deal in and play safe tiles >still deal-in
a reaction to exploit conservative play on tenhou and an elite player's ability to limit dealing in is not a reason for this guy to not keep his hands closed and go for more value against an over-aggressive playerbase.
>mfw Yea Forums complains about these fucking cats in bronze calling kans This is basically my average game in bronze whenever someone calls a kan, Jesus Christ. Why do I have to play with all these lesbian cats?

Better games and better rewards I guess I don't remember how much points you got towards the next rank for winning in bronze, but I'm pretty sure silver grants significantly more You're looking at a long grind in bronze if you wanna do that
Dominic White
gg cats
Jaxson Jenkins
From comfortable first to last in 2 rounds.
William Cooper
Why is this called a gacha anyway? Is there a daily roll or something that I'm missing?
Tyler Garcia
He never discarded terminal/honors. Even if that wasn't a kokushi, it could be some chanta/junchan/honrouto. Your hand is far from ready anyway and you've got some mostly safe tiles
Jordan Brown
I need to win 1 more ron for my missions but this damn game won't even let me get into tenpai before ending the match
I don't see anything about silver giving more points, since you get more points the better your score im pretty sure the grind would be easier in bronze, my last game in bronze south finished with 55k~ got me 60 points. Pretty sure the balance is that once you're expert you can't go in bronze rooms anymore so if you don't have copper you can't play since silver has an entry fee(but it's so low might as well not exist).
defend, your hand is far from ready and you have 2 100% safe tiles pray you're not the one who gets btfoed
Jose Sullivan
No, must be a lesbian. Akagi will fuck with your brain before declaring a Riichi. Lesbians, now lesbians can just form any hand they want right out their ass.
Landon Nelson
Well what's the fucking point then? I'm assuming it'll get better by the time the phone versions come out.
Carson Parker
you do the 4th and abort the shitfest
Jason Torres
you have 4+4 gifts that worth 5 dust each, and 90k copper, which can only buy another 5 dust for 75k. meaning you're short 60k copper for another 5 dust gift if you want the summon scroll (you need 50 dust).
Josiah Russell
The point? How about playing mahjong? If you don't like playing don't play because there's waifus retard.
Oliver Torres
Double riichi happened to me a lot of times and I got it only once. Most of the time you've got a shit wait and everyone is going to bail anyway
The chances of getting something in your first roll are abysmal. You'll be spending 8 blue gifts + tons of copper and will probably receive one blue or two green for it. You need to hope for events if you wanna roll or pay up, no way around it.
Jack Green
No wonder I've been losing consistently. Becuase I'm playing on the plus client where lesbians roam free.
Grayson Scott

Adam Evans
You won't get more free shit from loading tenhou (their one day vip doesn't work for me) or sega mj (wait -right now they give away one premium gacha roll per day but it is just for 3 more days), and it's in motherfucking (((English))).
Will this game ever give out any form of free rolls or currency or are we F2P players just fucked forever?
Benjamin Bennett
There's zero reason to play this over tenhou, people make their moves in under half the time and you don't have to grind past people playing literally the wrong game to make it worth your time
>you win because you drew an arbitrary combination of different colored tiles lmao check this kusoge out
Dominic Gonzalez
which discord server is this
Andrew Mitchell
That trainer is a load of bullshit. It says I have 95% efficiency, and yet I can't get out of bronze! Tell me what the optimal strategy is: go for big hands in the early round and hope for the best that you don't deal in, or you consistently go for cheap hands?

Justin Hill
What's efficiency? I only play by feel-nya.
Leo Stewart
it depends. you need to get to the point where you know what the most efficient play is so you can use it as your baseline then build on that baseline by learning situations where pure efficiency is not what you want to do.

Had a a game against a cat like that, he called every single time he could and ended up with no yaku literally every single round. The emote spam from everyone else was amusing, he also never dealt into anyone's hand hilariously enough.
Ayden Jenkins
You already failed to do that, nya~!
Caleb Howard
You can but it is sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooow and not for the bronze room fags. If you love mahjong it's a bonus. If you hate mahjong and only love bright pictures you'll see it as a grind so better drop it right now.

how do you pronounce mahjong? is it "may-jong" or "maa-jong"?
Daniel Jackson
i think people starting should play vs the ai, if you play against the chinks you will just get used to going for quick hands that wont win you any games unless you get lucky with dora.
Nicholas Cox
Real Mahjong players only Tsumo
Isaiah Myers
Guys why is it that whenever I want certain tiles I don't draw them and my hand looks like garbage?
Gabriel Cooper
I was going for Toitoi but no one wanted to give me pons and it somehow ended up as Seven Pairs tsumo.
Yes and if the dora indicator is 4s, then red 5s will be two dora too.
The only good thing about bronze rooms is that dumb kan cats don't know how to build hands. At silver they still call a lot, but they're also generally faster than riichi, so it's not that effective anymore.
To everyone stuck in bronze: Don't listen to the memers saying that calling is bad if you play east room. If you're not retarded you'd realise that with a potential 4 round, doing 4 cheap fast hands will net you wins easily. What's important is not winning with 80k points, it's being 1st or 2nd place.

It was a rule a long time ago, but they deemed that it slowed the game down too much. If the coincidence of two people waiting on the same tile happened and you were enough of an idiot to deal into it, that is on you. Just be glad that triple ron results in a redraw instead.
Wwhy keeping it? They can't do shit with only one, righ?

Discarding a live haku after mid game is downright suicide. Dunno how user's game looked, but if you discard a live yakuhai tile after riichi, you shouldn't be surprised if it hits something.
That's beginnertalk for a pinfu (closed hand only)
Adam Adams
Getting one set of dragons earns yourself a yaku (Yakuhai, worth 1 han each group that fit the criteria). Getting a set of all 3 dragons is a Yakuman.

that's called atozuke win. They sit on double pon wait but only one gives them the win and you give it to them. Depending on the amount of dora visible, if they are all hidden you better redo your hand for the pair wait on the same dragon so you at least stay tenpai.

You had 9 or more of 1s, 9s, winds and dragons. That gave you the pass to say fuck it and reshuffle round. It's either that, or depending on what you got, take it and go for kokushi, 3 small/big dragons, or scrap together a simple yakuhai hand.
