Is it me or is there a *lot* less crystals dropping than before?
Battles seem much faster and smoother, too.
Also LOL at Auto-battle - it'll spam BBs like there's no tomorrow, so my 2-healer team is just dumb
I did not even notice that button! That will be great for Metal runs.

This video recording shit is the worst thing in the fucking game right now. It slows boss fights and arena down to like 5fps. And you can disable it in settings, but it doesn't remember so the next time you log in, its on again.

Doesn't seem like it. If they are, they aren't on increased pull rate from the machine. So either way, I would wait.

Multi-summon is crap. It's like, .1 seconds faster than clicking one at a time. I want a P&D style thing where it opens up a panel showing you 10 units at a time or something.
I mean, it has that panel, but it still makes you load and tap a door for each unit, and still individually view the units.

BB gauge fill rate is the same, it's just a visual thing. It's definitely not as satisfying though, I agree.
Graphics change, even though less drop visually, my bars are still filling up pretty fast. They needed to it with Felneus and Douglas bb spam.

It's funny that they thought a bunch of crystals on the screen was too much of a performance problem, but this video recording garbage that lowers your game to between 2 and 5 frames per second was acceptable.
The characters that get the crystals seem to fill up relatively normal (although if the oracle fix is in, I'm not sure what "normal" is supposed to be anymore). The folks that don't get crystals though, don't seem to move at all. I was thinking the whole point of having more crystals was to have a more even distribution rate overal.
Think they hotfixed it so was defaulted to off now.

Still defaults to On for me. I've had one hotfix update since downloading the new version of the game from the appstore. Just set it to off, force closed the app and restarted, and it's back to On.
My recording is still "on" by default, but I haven't noticed any performance issues regardless (iphone 5s).

Recording has always been there for iOS though, it's only new for Android. So I think Android is where the problems are.
On my S4 it's still as smooth as before even with the recording on, but I guess it really depends on your device...

Also using an S4. Try arena and Miracle Totem and let me know. Arena looks like it's going in slow motion for me.

It runs fine on my Nexus 5 (CM11), but for some reason battle effects are off, and I can't turn them back on.
Gumi really, really needs to get someone to do QA for this game. This is bullshit, and they are going to lose players if they keep this up.

As a software engineer, I'm imagining what their codebase must looks like, and it scares me. I can totally see how this would happen, and all the scenarios I run through in my head of how things like this would happen are pretty awful. I'm not even sure QA would fix the problems. QA could certainly find problems, but I suspect they are in code hell, where for every 1 bug fixed, they introduce 2 new ones. QA isn't going to help with that. Better software engineers will.

That's the new thunder maiden 5 hit bb, so won't be nearly as broken as Serin.

It does have probable Paralysis *and* weaken though, so it's definitely still useful. Weaken and Paralysis against Karl would be a godsend.
Septimus Prime

Well, what QA could do is get the update first and report any issues, so they get a chance to address them before they get released into the wild.
There's no way paralysis works against Karl. Weaken does work (reason why Amy is the best sub unit for now against him).
Do either of those status effects actually stick to him though?
edit: derp already answered. ><;
Well, no derp for you but for me. Weaken doesn't work either, only debuff he's not immune to is injury (which Amy has).
I imagine he wipes out injury automatically when he does blue execution though. Injury is an awesome debuff against boss type characters. I don't really care that much how much damage I do per round, since they don't heal (usually) and there is no time limit. What I do care about is how much damage they are doing to me each round though and injury impacts that signifigantly.

Just be glad they use Facebook api for logins, which i think means they don't store email or any of that jazz on their BE.

I've poisoned him before; it did 40000 per turn. It's possible they patched out his susceptibility to that, though. Even if they didn't, the proc rate must be really low, and I wouldn't be surprised if his second form is indeed immune.
Still grinding for fire spirit. Oh hey look, auto battle is on. I can still eat lunch and not really have to pay attention at all.
A feature I never thought I would like or need, turns out to be rather useful. Just need auto check boxes for captured units to be sold off and auto craft available items...
Oh goodie a new error window popped up this time.
"Unable to issue network key".
Fan freaking tastic.

Looks like the new Frontier Hunter has 3 parts instead of 2.
Entrance, Middle, End.
I base this on the fact that there is an MVP reward listed for "Frontier - Entrance" if you look at the rewards screens.

LOL On the update before this one, my music was "remixed" and the instruments all sounded really bad. they sounded like really badly composed midi. And certain songs would stop after one loop. It was really bizarre.

My Felneus is up to 7/10 BB. So close.... Must keep going.

yeah this game reminds me of the free 2 play korean mmos that get localized where each patch has half the shit mistranslated and so many rollbacks because of all the hacks.

The worst part is that it's so close to FH. I just had an issue where changing to my ipad (i usually use android) wouldn't work and give me a network error. I fixed it by a magical hack, and then my android version stopped working. Fucking A, the only other game I can think of with this many bugs is Kings Road
Oh, and it turns out Auto Battle on iOS devices is game-breakingly powerful because all units attack at exactly the same frame. But on Android? Nope. Couldn't even make this crap up.
Oh and by the way, they changed it to where you can no longer use friends that you've already used, but get no honor. Instead they just don't show up (this might only happen after you've used them twice). Real great when you've used all the friends on your list. Just have to stop playing. Would have been nice to know that RIGHT BEFORE FH STARTED.

You think that's bad...FH didn't even start for me.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Any one else have their game showing no Leader skills or Friend skills?
No clue if they are working or not, but they show blank. I don't think they are, as Holy Flame Vargas gives 10% to HP and it's not.
Went to manage squad.. shows "no leader skill" no matter who I pick.
Oh well.. I'll wait til they fix and get another free gem I guess.
