I solo pro with my exdeath and 4 of my banner units plus a friend banner unit. 500 easy candies and when I get rabbits it's even nicer, for 10 nrg. I'll go that way I think.

Yup. With Primm / Primm / Popois / Noctis / Exdeath / f.event unit
With that setup I get from ELT about 800 candies.

Stupid Blob makes it so that I can remove my Exdeath (I use double meteor for Blob, because reasons).

Annnnd just rolled an off banner Luneth...my 3rd. Not mad but damn man.

Grats :D

did get a bunch of Primms and Popois

:(

Reading these posts + my own pulls from today. It seem that rate for Randi is lower than Yun rate was or other banners. Might just be rng but blah.

Yeah I would also use Gilgy but fking slime.

200 pulls and zero rainbows again. Last banner was 150 pulls and zero yun.

I Will think this weekend very deeply and calm (not now because im really pissed) if im keep playing this or not.

Its not about the fact if im getting the best units or not, ive prove countless times that you can beat the Game with underpowered units, but the fact that after 200 pulls this Game doesnt guarantee you even a unit that Will be gone after 2 weeks is really depressing.

Im starting to get tired of this.

I think this game will die sooner or later tbh

the rates are really awful even for a gacha game. And more and more gacha games are coming out ( like FE) with gameplay that is simply more fun and tactical...

The events in ffbe are kind of boring too, it doesnt help. And there aren't enough challenges. Back it up with garbage rates ( and troll rainbows) and you've got yourself a loser

Yeah I honestly agree with you.

I'm lucky enough to have several 5* bases to clear all content easily, but the events are like, rinse and repeat. The only event I really liked was the Lunar event.

Fire Emblem will definetly be a threat to this game, honestly. AAA polish, good rates and great gameplay will surely put things in perspective to players that try both.

Ran into 5 of those bonus enemies. Felt good! Unfortunately I only got a 100% bonus.
It's way better than nothing, though!

This was the shit I was talking about.

In no way is this preferable to lowering the giveaways but giving a guarantee after x pulls.

I've decided that until they change the crystal base unit rarity thing, I'm doing nothing but daily pulls. The rainbow Charlotte I got earlier tonight has totally pissed me off
I stopped doing even that. I've been just doing TM farming non-stop and almost have 2 dual-casts, two Great Swords and whatever Maxwell's TM is.

So obviously I'm in agreement with some of you guys, Gumi needs to do some changes or something or I can see this game dying. There's too many Gacha games out there right now that have my attention that if Gumi just sits on having this I'll eventually just stop playing altogether out of indifference.

Improving summon rates would go a long way because goddamn that rainbow troll shit needs to be fixed.

There's also the fact that Nintendo, while plodding in its online ways, is "trustworthy" in ways that Gumi isn't. Publicized rates and a pity counter from day one? Awesome. Similarly, DeNA has earned a lot of goodwill from me too. (Not to start a "which game is deeper" argument, I'm just talking about business practices.)

So sorry to hear that, yet again, long-timers are thinking of scrapping this game. I don't know how long I'll last either. It's just so repetitive, and even hearing how OTHER people are screwed by Troll Rainbows (or no rainbows) makes me hurt for you.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Did 11pull for Randy because i love SoM - got only trash. Wow....

Exvius because i spend my time yesterday with Fire Emblem instead ? lawl....
 
So, I went all in on this banner and came out with little to show for it.

Daily + 2x11 pulls + 35 Tickets:

New: Primm, Popoi x10, Celes x2, Hope, Trey
TM Dupes: Gaffgarion, Hayate, Miyuki

Also, out of those 58 pulls, I had 52 Blue and 6 gold: Primm (New), Hope (New), Gaffgarion (TM Dupe), Trey (New + Troll), Kain (Troll), Rakshasa (Troll). 2 of the golds were from tickets, the other 4 were in the 11 pulls.

v_v

On a much, MUCH happier note:
\o/

Perfect timing for this week's Black Magic ban in Arena. I took 2x Exdeath off my team and replaced them with Chiz and CoD. W/ DW #2 Chizuru chains 2x Flame Katana Phantom Shadow w/ Noctis's 2x Fire Flask while CoD does a Golem Staff Darkness attack and Cecil/Refia Curaja. I haven't lost yet, but the matches are far, far longer than weeks when I can run my normal team.

When you spend money to do pulls (I've done that a couple of times) and you get not even anything new but the same repetitive straight Garbage and Troll Rainbows you start to think to yourself "Well if the game keeps showing me the same stuff even if I pay money why bother?"

I have more nostalgia for Final Fantasy than I do for Fire Emblem but this game isn't hitting all the same spots like it used to for me and Fire Emblem is just doing it for me but better.

It's like they're trying to rub it in your face. :/
Don't let it get to you! Take a breather and come back when the dust has settled.
 
Annnnd just rolled an off banner Luneth...my 3rd. Not mad but damn man.

Holy crap that is insane lol. Spare one for me please ;).

Used around 15 tickets, nothing really of note for me unfortunately. Golds were 2 primms, another Chiz, snow (first one so yay I guess?), and a garnet. Rest were 3* garbage.

ELT seems tough unless you have 3 strong units . Managed to beat it with Exdeath, my Chizuru and a strong Noctis friend but yea.

44 pulls to not get anything worthy and 58 pulls to get one Prim should be a federal crime. I just can't stand read things like this, this game makes me mad even when I'm not affected.
 
Fire Emblem looks nice, but I've never played a single game in the series so Smash is my only exposure to the characters. Roy is the only one I'd be hyped about getting.

What I really hope is that Dissidia gets an English release quickly. I played a bit of it and the gameplay is fun, the gacha is for gear rather than characters, the pull rates seem fairer, the story seems cool with all of the various characters and there is no stamina system.

Everything I read about this game looks absolutely wonderful, can't wait for it to get a global version.

I hope DeNa handles it if it comes, Gumi should stay miles away from the franchise.

It wasn't 100% a complete waste, although horribly disappointed.

-- Tossed the ticket from the BGN clear.... Shadow. FML. 45 misses now.

Anyways, the non banner golds were:

Troll Hayate
Troll Elle
Refia
Refia (again)
Warrior of Light
Garnet
Troll Zidane !!!
Seven
Chizuru (NEW)<--- About damn time!!

All blues were unremarkable, except Zidane x2 and a Leo.

So, 45 pulls for 3 Zidanes and an incredibly long overdue Chizuru. Those units are nice, but I wasn't pulling for them so it's very bittersweet.

The banner feels like the Brave Frontier banner. It probably has a ~85 to 90% miss rate on it and would generally would be classified as a trap.

16 tickets, 2 popois and no primms. Decided to do an 11-pull, got lucky and got a Randi!

I have him shared. He has decent equipment for now but it'll be a few hours before I can get him leveled up. I'll be using all the cactaurs from the event on him so he'll be more helpful than my Ace was.

I'll try and make some room for people, 737 150 495.

Congrats! I still see your Noctis though.

Got Popoi and a 4* Warrior of Light. One banner unit got!

The prizes for the Ariana event surprised me, didn't even know there were prizes and now I'm overflowed with energy, cash and cactuars lol.

Don't know how many pulls I want to make on this banner, even if it's for bonus units, after the debacle I had on FF-Type-0 chasing Seven.

/sigh

44 pulls

0 Randi
0 Primm

Yeah, it felt something like that. Don't look up the odds of that happening on the reddit script if you want to keep your sanity.

I'm staying the course.

All in-ing for Orlandu or bust.

Got roughly 220 pulls worth of resources stowed away. We'll see what happens then. Until then. I'm going to be a bit more liberal with energy refreshes.

Going to start doing one energy refresh a day for event farming and TMR farming. I should still probably have 45k lapis saved by the next banner, I think.

Well spent another 10 tickets and got nothing lol. Think I'm gonna grind up to 5k lapis and if I don't get anything, I'm probably done.

Everything that you all are saying is very likely true, about the game's events feeling somewhat rote, about bad pull rates, other games being more appealing, so on and so forth.

But...

On the Noctis banner, I dropped horrific amounts of Lapis & tickets trying for him, with little to show for it save my first Miyuki and 5 Mercedes. And Equip Shield.

Then I spent 7 dailies and nearly 40 tickets for Ling (all of my stock), the majority of those tickets literally hours before news of the SoM banner went up. So it was that I looked at that announcement with a bittersweet feeling in my heart and the premonition of a throbbing pain in my wallet. The only 5* base I've gotten is Ramza. I knew the odds going in.

So I got home from work a few hours ago expecting to spend my ticket stockpile (a princely 3 tickets) as well as 10k of my 13.5k Lapis to only have 5 Popois, 1 Primm and +5% to Magi Staff, Ribbon, Excalibur #2, et cetera.

Daily: Popoi
Ticket 1: Krile
Ticket 2: Mercedes
Ticket 3: Randi

It doesn't change what you're all saying about the game - my brain knows that. It's still largely a nostalgia-preying skin over a slot machine with a rudimentary battle system. Winning the jackpot at a casino doesn't mean anything other than you got lucky. But I just watched (my!) Randi slash Dark Lich while listening to that great boss theme and I'm happy as a clam.


p.s. with the 2000 candy I accrued from running everything up to ELT, I bought three tickets. Lenna -> Cyan -> Primm.

Fire Emblem just took over my life yesterday so I didn't get a chance to read through this thread at all. Just caught up on the shenanigans over here so I'm about to pull a Chrono and do a mass response.

What's going on there? Haven't tried it yet, had a pretty awful day at work.

:( Month end being a bitch again?

I'll throw one your way if you don't mind.

Added. Thanks :)

In the final minutes before the craziness of the next event, I just want to compliment Gumi for a pretty darn good event with the Lunar New Year. I really hope they use this as a template for future original exploration events. The hard fight that lasted the full week and the easier goals that changed every day were great. Let's not forget the free summons, which got me only crap, but were still a nice gesture and something I didn't think they were capable of.

Agreed. Outside of summoning I would like to think the game is heading in the right direction. Gumi are clearly listening to user feedback and adjusting accordingly. Some things quicker than others, but the fact they are doing something is enough for me for now.

200 pulls and zero rainbows again. Last banner was 150 pulls and zero yun.

Damn that's ridiculous. While not to the same extent I am definitely feeling the burn when it comes to these bs summon rates. It's not even the fact we don't get the unit, it's just the low ass odds of getting a yellow and rainbow are frustrating. Meanwhile fire emblem gave me a 5* on my first roll. Already more than BE lol.

Gold....fuck yeah Bonus baby
turns to Rainbow
And just pull a Rainbow ... Yun moth'fuckaz.

Congrats guys!

I just realized, Randi only has 3 active skills and the rest are passives. No wonder he's the worst 5* base initially.

Skill damage are mediocre that even with 2 Randi, I can't beat ELT by themselves. I still need Noctis to farm ELT consistently.

Missed that post. Congrats on Randi. I swear you have almost every 5* base. It's pretty ridiculous.

It sure does &#128521; it's the best Mage in GL, it's like Gumi redeem themselves I give you a gift.

Welp. Yolo pulled 10+1 :D



I just noticed that I didn't get a Rainbow in those 11 pulls. Randi came out of a blue crystal. So 11 pulls also have those blue>rainbow crystals.

Nice. Good to see 5* from this banner.

Also guys, since I get Yun, what's the best gears for him. I didn't get the Esper kill so I don't have any whip with a lot of attack.
 
Man everyone talking about FE's amazing rates I am up to 40 rerolls and I have seen a base 5* once. It was some archer guy don't even remember his name he was literally the only one of them I didn't want lol. Oh well keeping it going.

I like FE atm, but I don't agree with you guys on the gameplay. Atm I feel it's lacking any sort of depth. The extent of the tactics is the triangle really. I would like to see a bit more going forward.

Fire Emblem looks nice, but I've never played a single game in the series so Smash is my only exposure to the characters. Roy is the only one I'd be hyped about getting.

What I really hope is that Dissidia gets an English release quickly. I played a bit of it and the gameplay is fun, the gacha is for gear rather than characters, the pull rates seem fairer, the story seems cool with all of the various characters and there is no stamina system.

Roy was who I was hyped for because of melee and his artwork is one of the best in the game. It's worth trying as he's not too rare (4* base).

Is Dissidia a spin-off of the main Dissidia line? The one on psp and ps4.

Man everyone talking about FE's amazing rates I am up to 40 rerolls and I have seen a base 5* once. It was some archer guy don't even remember his name he was literally the only one of them I didn't want lol. Oh well keeping it going.

I think the thing is the 5* pool isn't split, so it's 6% for a 5* but the odds for a 5* base are pretty low.

w/e dude. Takumi is wrecking shit for me. I guess he's OP early game, but doesn't help out much in the end. I'm ok with that, running through the story now just autoing everything.

Saving up orbs and I can do a couple multi pulls later.

Oh I'm sure he is a great unit. I just don't like ranger/archer archetype characters. Honestly my dream pull would be a Lyn/Robin/Marth but yeah

Mana Beast is super easy for Randi as he got all the Killer Passive against it. The slime on the other hand, will eat Randi alive. I still need Noctis to reliably farm ELT.

Missed that post. Congrats on Randi. I swear you have almost every 5* base. It's pretty ridiculous.

Lol thanks. I've just been extremely lucky so far that sometimes I feel like I don't even deserve it since I haven't spent too much on this game. And the one unit I wanted the most will troll me hard, Orlandu. I feel it.
