I have not been tracking this episode as usual, I am taking a break and just farming this time round, plus working on the sim instead.
I look a sample now though, and it looks like the pace, so far, is 5-10% *higher* than last episode, so expect the final cutoffs to be around 5-10% higher than last raid episode.
T1: 25 - 26 M
T2: 3.75 - 4 M
It seems we are in the minority when it comes to our thoughts about this episode, everyone else is going harder than usual.
Not sure if that translates to more money for Mobage or not, but if the point rate is any indication, probably yes. So while we count this as a loss, they probably don't see it that way at all unfortunately.
