I was going to complain about getting stuck with Bad Luck after losing the 2 days of Great Blessing - but I just got this little beauty from a destiny summon so I consider that breaking even.
Nice. I had one waiting for me in my inbox. Traded it for one of the raid bosses. Can't wait to level her up.
No prob. Always try to help out the fellow GAFers who are on my friendslist whenever I see one open.
It will be done if I get the chance.
Use your free orbs and buy more spirit slots (10 orbs 5 slots).
If you get Joker of Element [Fire/Water/Earth/Metal/Wood] use it to break levelmax of Super Rare spirit, othervise it might be not so well spend.
^^ Ask in this thread if you have question. Youll normally get fast answer since here is almost someone to answer (players from Eu & Asia & Am).
Try to get a few spirits of each element depending on your storage space.
If your unsure what your facing, you can scout the battle. Just enter a battle without a rental spirit. Once the battle starts, see what you're dealing with then click the element wheel to pause and click the flee button to flee the battle.
Depending on your luck, you can just farm for Stone and Points. You can replay the same level anytime besides bosses areas.

Ive managed without buying extra slots, it's frustrating but I've managed. Id much rather have a good rare at the start than unnecessary extra slots.
You need slots eventually. I have a fighting team of 20 Level 35-40 spirits, and you dont get far every day without a big roster of spirits to choose from. The bigger the fighting team, the better.
Its the question do you want to avoid being frustradet or not. I personally would buy more slots but for unknown silly (server issues?) reason we cant, buying is limited to 45 slots. My spirit slots are at the momemt limited to 72, also my game mail inbox has 20 spirits waiting to be used.
From those 72 slots Ive got around 50 slots in use for spirits either being upgraded or waiting merging time. Its a neverending issue with free slots.
I know, been there along. But the reason I dont understand why its limited. One would think that Developers want more money and increasing limit of spirit slots you can buy would be simple thing to do. Would be easier to merge 5 same colour to one spirit when you can save your C/UC youre going to merge, when youre not constantly battleing with spirit slot size.
You have reached the max amount of buyable slots.

But bad luck is the most awesome aspect of the game. You get a fantastic serving of blue orbs with no 'real' penalty on SR or R acquisitions (I obtained a couple of rares and a TRex on a Bad Luck day)I was going to complain about getting stuck with Bad Luck after losing the 2 days of Great Blessing - but I just got this little beauty from a destiny summon so I consider that breaking even.
The play is to always live in 'average' while replaying easy zones like a feverish rabbit on 'Great Blessing' and 'Bad Luck' days.

For now...
But as you build up you Rare collection and obtain a few SR's, you'll realize pretty quickly how valuable those slots are.
I currently have 7 SR and routinely get rares when hunting. 55 slot with 20 available to play with.
The most time consuming aspects of the game (not bad, just part of the game), is slot space management.
Yep, here too, but dont worry, you'll get plenty of friend requests ingame that you dont need to communicate with. Just accept as many friends as you have open spaces and you are good.

Wow....
I was so excited about putting the seat belt around my vita on the trip to my local grocery store.
It would be fantastic to know what really went down.

...Right, but he asked for tips about early game stuff. I'm assuming you don't have 7 SRs and 50 spirits awaiting upgrades in the early-game. At that stage like I said, a good rare will be more valuable to you than extra slots, which are a luxury then (but a necessity later on). And having at least one ADV summon is important if you ever want to trade for another adv summon, I don't even have a spare adv after probably 50 hours of playing. If you're a player who doesn't mind spending a lot of money though, this is all trivial.
I had around 10-15 fighting spirits at level 15-20 early on, which I felt was more important than a single slightly better one
Opinions and all that

Wow, those must've taken some grinding to level up competitively.
Yeah, around 5-6 days after I started playing I had 2 great blessing days on which I grinded out about 160k summoning stones. That helped a lot in levelling a sizeable team, especially with the pure breeding bonusses for UCs.

It's just a comedy of errors at this point.
I fully expect this to not be up at all today and everybody losing their 30 days login.

I had 2 advanced summons, I used one early to another (Brigit to Brigit). Now I got only one Brigit. Åroblem for me is that I haven got another Brigit and stupidly used one Fire Joker to Brigit (Now my Calluihin is at 45max and Ive got 0 Jokers Brigit being in 30max). Brigit is in my normal summon lottery but havent got it.
So being only in one or in zero ADV summon is not a problem. Ive managed very well without it. Tho I know when DDI comes I use money to buy orbs and use them to those.
If youre not spending money to this game getting Divine Orbs is hard. At the moment you get around 20 of them in one month (after 20 days were not getting secondary daily reward, hopefully they fix this too). And for 35 Orbs you get in the start of the game lets you do 1 advanced summon.
In the long run, bigger reward is getting 15 spirit slots more (30 orbs) than doing one advanced summon (30 orbs).
Edit:
There is a hope. Its over 2h old news. I wasnt online yesterday due to these server issues.
I am really curious what they are doing during "maintening the server" at the moment. I know how a typical weekly maintenance for online games roughly looks like, but what could they possibly do atm that takes so long.

Fair and all true.
However, I missed when he referenced how many zones he freed. While it's completely reasonable and doable to progress through the game with limited slots, having those extra slots presents a flexibility that makes the game play less stressful.
I would also add (for the record) that I wasn't spirit bragging ...who would do that!
I was simply emphasizing that as you progress through the game you will naturally obtain very powerful spirits and as such, workable merging slots will become a premium.
Just to be clear, your advice is sound and true.

160k in 2 days? You're a force of nature.

as i said before, create a trophy for consecutive logins, take down servers just before 30th day
I got hunts the first day I tried this but not a single one since(guess I have to try it outside the house now or get lucky someone in my area plays the game...?)...been like 16 days straight now...I managed to get my stuff yesterday amongst all the errors though,until the Darkness Boss just wasn't showing so I stopped...

You have to travel at least 1 mile/k from your previous hunt location for the game 'find' hunting results.
I'd gladly trade my Cuhullin if you want it for limit break.
I like how their tweet 4 hours ago gave this glimmer of hope and an estimated completion time and then three hours later from that tweet it's back to who knows when.
Sounds good:
What you want for it? Another SR or multiple (3 for example) R?
Only SR I can trade it for is Artemis.
But if you dont Like Artemis, I can look (when DoS works) what R's I do have.
I remember having atleast, Vampire Hunter, Inti, Belobog (2 if I dont remember wrong), And that 3rd light R + those 3 R from Dark Raids.
Hah nice. Win / Win situation. This is why I like Gafers in game friends too. Easier to make deals. Ill check your trade profile in few hours (if game works).

lol.
"Another update on our current progress will be posted in about 3 hours."
Yep 3 hours to find out when it'll be back up. Seriously will just quit the game if I lose out on 30 straight days because of this bullshit.

That would be a kick in the nuts on top of the sundae if it did happen. At this point, who knows?

It's laughable that the trophy is apparently the holy grail, and if someone misses out on it, they're going to quit.
For one, I doubt that quitting it going to affect anything. They either have your money, or probably weren't going to get any of it in the first place.
And if someone's enjoyment of a game rests on this one trophy, one that still can be obtained, I can't imagine they're going to stay interested in it long enough to get the 100% freed areas trophy.

we need to establish support group
Thankfully I don't have to worry about the 30 days thingy because I managed to log in during those 10 minutes of availability earlier today
Its been almost 48h for me without login due to these little problems they have. Surprises me how hard they have messed or underestimated things.

The problem with this thinking is you're going under the assumption that there will be a 30 day long stretch where they don't have a ridiculous amount of maintenance in a single day (or literally down for an entire day). Given the games online status so far I really don't think that is a safe assumption.

50% drop off minimum.
I'm crazy and will be camping in the bushes until they walk out the restaurant.
