Let's Chat About Conquest Strategy

There's a whole thread about Purple disks.

I hadn't seen one through alll of normal and up to the boss of Sector 3/Hard. Then I got one as my reward disk immediately post-S3-Boss and another in S4. That sounds lucky, but other folks got 3 purple disks in Normal mode.

I'm not sure how common they are supposed to be, bu there are a lot of people in your position. If you got one in Normal mode, you were ahead of the curve. If you didn't and are still at 0 purples total, then you're behind it.

Either way, a lot of people are providing feedback to CG that this shouldn't be the way, that there should be one or two standard places to find a purple disk for fairness between players.

I'm not as concerned since the biggest game changer (at least as it seems to me) is the cooldown+autobuff combination, which you can do with white disks if that's all you can find (although cooldown reset happens more often with green or blue disks).

I personally load up on speed/evasion boosts, auto-buffs, and cooldown reset disks and very, very rarely have any problems at all. Having to remove 2-4 of these other very useful disks in order to add one Purple disk isn't going to be an advantage for me in most fights. (Thus I'm not using them, though I will play with them a lot, I'm sure, once I'm done with rewards and just sandboxing. And I might use them against JML at the end of S5 - I'm only 3 fights away now - if my usual strategies don't seem to be working.)
