Patch is tomorrow after the scheduled maintenance correct?
Really curious to see the Spirit Almanac.

I haven't been playing/summoning much as I've been waiting for this and the extra UC spirits. Hopefully it means pulling less Cs.

Pulling C spirits was so depressing that I started to level up a Sasquatch just so I get a little relief when I summon one. I think it might be the strongest C in the American summon pool.

They should streamline of selling those summoned C shits. Its faster to summon your slots full and go to "Spirits" and select bulk sale. Than separetly after summon sell C spirit you summoned and continue summoning.

So many ways to make this game better. Havent found any decent EU pool 1.0 cost C's so selling them all.

I have a Huallallo Carhuincho or Karura, both R Fire spirits I'd trade for either Ixchel or Yum Kaax. If you'd like either of them or heck, even want to trade for both, let me know.

Problem with Huallallo is that it aint good, if searching for good Fire spirits. HC is only for filler spirit, not for the leader role (not so good skills).
His support skill and stats remind me of Tez. So useless outside of being a meat shield.

You shouldnt play this game tired just before going to sleep

Tell me about it. I accidentally sold an R light spirit (I forget which one), but the one that really bummed me out was accidentally merging a really high level Fire Guardian with a lot of bonus stats with a level 1 Fire Guardian instead of the other way around.

I'm still working on bringing it back up to what it was.

I accidentally sold an advanced spirit once. Lost about 90 orbs counting the merged spirits.

I really wished the raid bosses leveled up evenly, I'd like to get Anubis up to 35 before this is over but keep getting 40+ Horus and Meretseger.

Can you hold that Senju for me?
I'm interested but since I'm at work I can't make an updated trade list now.

Sure, its already in my tradeslot, But none has ever offered anything about it :p. I think it will have good stats (not sure tho). Was thinking to raise it myself but the chances to get more of those for me as EU player are really low. I got Itzamna at 65 level so not needing another SR for light.

I think I found a bug.

Excalibur has this support skill "Raises speed by 10% for each Metal Spirit (all allies).

Its Water element & blessing day.
As my understanding that should count only ally metal spirits right? Thus speed bonus being max 30% when Iam using 3 Metal spirit.

Well if you look this picture:
I have 2 Metal spirits and 1 Wood spirit. Enemy has 1 Metal spirit, 2 Wood spirits.
Iam getting 30% speed bonus. When I killed that Metal spirit my speed bonus went down to 20%.

Here is picture from next combat, getting 20% speed bonus, cause there is only 2 Metal spirits.

Question is it a bug or do I understand that support skill somehow wrongly?
 

Rixa

(All allies) is pretty clear to me.

What spirit did you kill? I need a name.


Erm. Seems that its either typed wrong or its a bug / glitch.
I changed combination littlebit and tested with Zilant in Wood area (Baltic countries +3,+6).

Total 5 Wood spirits in battle:
2 Mine: Zilant, Chameleon
3 Chaos spirits: Trolls



EDIT: The Metal chaos spirit I killed is Medusa (common EU summonable spirit). You can see it in the picture (somehow)

this is interesting

edit: Intepret this as you will, but the DoS wiki has this written down for those types of buffs.

Increase SPD based on the total number of spirits of a specific element

nothing specific about all allies

Yeah, there might be somekind of typo in spirit text or just poorly translated/written.
They might have made it so (in their mind) that "all allies" means the +% bonus is aimed for all allies (not for single spirit). It should be written:
"Raises speed by 10% for each Metal Spirit, bonus is added to all allies.

Imagine how fast your spirits can be.
Its Wood element day, your team is this:
Then you rent this:
And every chaos spirit is Wood element.

Thats exactly what it is. Its not a bug, its just how we were interpreting it. The (All allies) refers to who the buff is being given to, and "...for each Metal Spirit" is everyone active in the fight.

Sadly I didnt understand this fully earlier. Makes those "+% speed for each spirit" way much better.

Whole the time Ive thought its only my spirits that add +% speed so that bonus is always capped max +30% speed.

Thanks for bringing this up, I learnt something new about the mechanics today which is pretty neat.

I always thought it was capped at 30% too, so I was putting a flat 30% support ability spirit first in my lineup and wasnt thinking otherwise.

163MB for me (American version).

I just know that the missing spirits from Knack are going to drive me crazy. I should have been more active with trading those, and it's probably too late now to even get my missing UCs.

It'll also be nice to get a new event. I stopped doing Raid Bosses for the last one well over a week ago.

Download is buggy for me. Stops at 86 MB. Anyone else having problems?

Patch worked for me (although the EU patch is smaller than the US), but in game I keep getting:
An error has occurred. 1008

Maybe it's just the servers getting smashed again... hopefully it's nothing serious that brings the game offline for another day or two.

Bah.

Wouldn't it be a kick in the head if the patch is actually 86 MB, and the download won't complete because the system expects 163 MB?
