Final Fantasy Brave Exvius |OT5| Our Golden Anniversary Brings Us Hope

Wouldn't you go crazy for her and then retire paying for pulls?
Did the new update add a button to use special tickets to add slots? I don't remember that before. We never did get any of those, despite the speculation they would come with the anniversary.
Also, I just noticed the Nier Automata Twin Bundle has a machine killer in it. No way in hell I'm buying it (nor should anyone) but I don't remember them putting materia in the awakening bundles before.

Yes the slot tickets appear to be a new thing they plan on doing at some point...
They are coming right after the London's lapis bundle and right before Ramza enhancements.

So I got a ticket from the raid and decided why not go for broke.
Apparently complaining works.

Confirmed for this year, that's all we know. Any guess is just a guess as Gumi proved several times this year that they don't give a fuck about following JP schedule.

I'm going to pop in for the first time in this thread and say that I got 9S and Eve back to back in less than 5 pull. I might say fuck it and pull for 2B because I'm already satisfied but I still want that girl.
Now time to go back to off-Topic because this place is a depressing salt mine right now.

So just checking in.
Sorry to see Chinner go. And Im with everyone feeling a little let down by the disappointment this game puts our community through,
On the other hand, congrats to those who pulled some rainbows!
For me, did a 10+1 and spent ~20 tix.
No Rainbows.
On banner, I got 3 210.
As for off banner, I think I was pretty lucky. I got Earth Veritas, Bran, Helena, my first Ashe, and my first Zyrus. Nice golds that I was missing.
I still have plenty of resources and will probably use them up on this banner, but Im not expecting much. Would love to get a rainbow or two GUMI!!!
Im more concerned about which of the new units I pulled are actually worth leveling. Ashe for sure, EV not sure cause I already have WoL max potted. Is Bran or Helena worth any effort?

Yuck... certainly explains how I got 17 off banner golds before my first and only 9S.
that's what happen to me too.
pulled both 9s and Eve in 10 pull, of course overestimating my luck, decide to pull 40 times more including 2 4* ticket and yes no rainbow.
i feel really bad since i just want 1 base 5* chainer, but Gumi never give me one, not even Fohlen.

One day every country will will pass a law that forces developers to reveal any sort of gambling odds to the players much like China. Until then, we just have to assume the worst.

I'm on my third Ramza now. I wished way too hard for him when his original banner was up. lol

I'm in the same boat, this lines up very much with my luck since anniversary. Definately shines things on a different light.
They are limited, but considering it's a Squenix IP, it shouldn't be absurd to think they will come back one day.

Pretty sure that his sample size is far too small, regardless of what he says about it being fine because of the difference betwee the expected result vs the sample result. sub-150 is just not big enough for that, I think.
That said, the 50% rate is probably pulled from the JP rates (well 47.5%) unless that data is in the files for GL. There's no guarantee that that is the exact rate for GL. Hell, I don't even know the current JP rates were the ones they had at the start of the game. Gacha rates only became visible part last year lol.

I am going to get NOTHING done in this fucking Raid event. God damnit Gumi. Stop sucking ass. This wasn't a problem until right before and after emergency maintenance. Fuuuuuuuuuck.

So calmer mind prevailing a bit....
I did have a pretty damn good month last month(Aileen, Fry, and Lunera on Grantee 5, Ticket, and Daily). and did score a Bikini DFina in the hunt for a 9S. Maybe this was balance for that.
So this puts me where my TM farming for C.Art and Rem are almost done. First two Letter in Arms are half way, alongside Lunera's Bow. I did pick up another 3 Ingus, so I'll go for 2(Maybe just 1) more to cap out Fry. I'll start working on B.D.Fina's TM too, since it's a fantastic piece for any mage. I also did get a Rasler, so I'll probably work on him and DBFina after. This would be two weeks of TM farming before the next Mog King. So it puts me in a pretty good spot. After the current set of TMs are done. I'll probably go back and clear out the Ultros Trial and get the last item I need for Enchida.
Ideally, my Fry will also be able to out damage the heal on robot too. So I'll give it another attempt. Alongside my other units all being stronger.
For future banners, I'm probably just sticking with dailies from this point out. I expected a lot. Not that much. Next month should be Onion Knight, Light V, and FFXI. While I want TMs from two, I don't need any of the units. The following month should be the FFXV and Ayaka banners though.... but as I said, I'll probably just do dailies from this point on till the Rainbow change

So weird, after the crash at 4am, I haven't had this happen to me again at all. Playing mainly on Memu /shrug
It isn't the same for GL, or doesn't appear to be, going by responses in the thread. Surveys reflected 25%, but since JP's published rates said something different, everyone went by those. Yet another example of the GL playerbase tripping over their feet by paying too much attention to JP on the horizon.
Whether it's fair or not is another discussion, but it means (if true), among other things, that the Exviuswiki Summon Simulator as well as dposluns' Odds Calc are not entirely correct.
[caveat emptor intensifies]
i don't think there is a problem with sample size, but if any, probably in the non-random sampling since it might be possible that people who participated in the survey is the one who get bad result.
So, I was pretty close to getting the 5* ticket and was a bit low on lapis so I said fuck it and bought enough to get it.
Felt Bad man.
Then I said fuck it and did a single 11 pull (my first for the Nier banner).
Not even mad about that Queen troll (didn't say new on 2B since I clicked on the unit and looked at her).
90 some tickets and 1 11 pull has gotten me 1 9S, A2, 2B, and 3 Eves. Pretttty good luck there. Hopefully I'll pull a second 9S on dailies/tickets before it's over now.

if i am not mistaken, the sample size is based on 4* ticket and +1, not regular ticket

Just picked up that $24.99 bundle. Used my guaranteed 4*. Rainbow.
Another A2. Dammit, I was so hyped for a 2B, but I'll take it. Also got an Ashe from a ticket.

That's correct.
The findings show that the bonus c/rystal that everyone covets functionally is significantly worse than what was generally accepted, based upon JP published rates. Outside of the increased rainbow chance, the findings conclude that that bonus crystals function exactly the same as any other normal pull.
Nazta and company has done some lookback at previous banners as well, at this point, and have concluded that bonus gold crystals have behaved like this on Global since the removal of troll gold/rainbows.
It's only the recent string of double and triple gold unit banners on Global that has really called attention to the issue and caused people to realize that the on-banner gold crystal rates on bonus crystals are not the same as on JP.
So, 1 in 8 chance to get a 9S on a bonus crystal it is on this banner (and other dual split gold unit banner).
Normal pulls follow the standard 1/19/80 rates.
Saw a video that it was able to, buuuuuuuut it may or may not be fixed already~
I tried it and it failed on Aigaion. Works on the raid boss still.

My luck was terrible on the Dark Banner, but my luck on this one was incredible. I pulled A2 with a 5* ticket and got 2b in 30 ticket pulls. Also got 1 9s and 2 Eves, and 8 of the 3* girl. I want one more Nines, but will wait until dailies are done to pull hard for another... tho I'm it sure if I really need another TM from him now...

I got 2 Booties but no 9S. I guess I can chain with pair of them, and get 2 of her TMs from the event. I missed a whole day of raiding sadly but I think I can get 2 100% for TM in time.

It's officially reached the point where I can't support this game anymore: I'm not spending another cent. (To be honest, I'm not salty.) It's just fundamentally unfair and boasts an utterly twisted value proposition.
For the record, I did several more pulls on the Veritas banner tonight. In case anyone cares, Nier units are locked to their own banner and to the general summon pool only. (Notable gets: Girl With Hat and Aileen with a guaranteed 5*. And a guaranteed 4* landed me a second 9S.)
The banner rates are terrible; the split banners are vomit-inducing. Everyone knows that I'm stacked at this point (and, after dropping a few hundred dollars this week -- which, to be fair, I hadn't done previously, not since Christmas -- I'm doubly so); I'll surely keep playing, as I sincerely enjoy the story.
But I'm over the fucking terrible business practices: the evidence Lyrian offered earlier is just part and parcel of it. Forget TM macro farming. Forget Amazon coins. This shit's terrible all around.
I was F2P from like, March until August. I welcome the F2P lifestyle again.
