Yup, got the 5k lapis lmao.

If the hackers have control over shit like this, the game may die today.

 

[Whales]

wow holy shit

I also got the 5k lapis

what is going on lol

maybe these hackers made the rainbow rate 100% too, time to pull!

 

[NomarTyme]

Gumi gonna try to sweep this under the rug.

 

[robotuw]

Hey Gumi, hire better hackers, I didn't get my lapis.

Maybe I was wrong, this could end up being the most interesting week we've had in a while.

You thought it would be a break week? Too bad!
This is definitely an interesting turn of event.

 

[NomarTyme]

I just press claim all in my mail box and got it. It is suppose to be a mail?

 

[Advocatus Diaboli]

Gumi...

Just lol.

And this was supposed to be a dead week without anything happening.

 

[Syntsui]

I just press claim all in my mail box and got it. It is suppose to be a mail?

No, it straight up was added to our stash. I'm definitely excited to see how powerful these guys are.

 

[Kouriozan]

No, it straight up was added to our stash. This is amazing.

Yep, it was added directly upon login for me and my bro.

Just to make sure you understand - TM farming is completely different than leveling up.

You farm the TM from the characters recommended to you and then use it on your actual good units.

When new units come out, they are judged on 2 criteria usually; whether they are a good unit or not, and is their TM worth getting.

If they are a good unit, you use them.

If they are a bad unit with a good TM (ie Ludmille), you farm their TM and put it on one of the good units that you actually use.

Yes, I completely understand. I have a party with units that are useful for leveling and actually using in story and arena and raids, and another party that is only for spamming Earth Shrine with a Nox script.

Once a non-good unit with a good TM is farmed, they become pretty much useless if you already have a good party in place.

Also I'm a tiny bit stuck. My fight with

Spoiler

Ebrietas of the... I mean Veritas of the Winds

ended with his/her victory because two of my guys were wind non-resistand and I had to spend too much time healing them instead of attacking Veritas. Oh, but I'm coming back, you bastard. Just you wait.

Dual also: should we, you know, spend these newly acquired lapis? I mean gumi could, theoretically, remove them from all the players if they were obtained fraudulently.

 

[Mipcgamer]

Holy!! Should we spend it?!
I don't want to

 

[Syntsui]

Holy!! Should we spend it?!
I don't want to

Garbage banner, I will hold on and hope for the best lmao.

That fight is an infamous wake-up call for a lot of new players. Soon you'll be able to curb-stomp him.

This is very interesting. 5k lapis isn't large enough that Gumi could easily justify taking it away from people, like if the hackers gave everyone 1 million lapis or something. Unless they do a db rollback they definitely don't have the resources to figure out how everyone spent the lapis and fix it person by person either.

 

[crazyivan19]

Yeah, I just got the 5k as well. I would spend it, but I don’t want Gumi to correct it and I’d be out of my legit stash.

But I’m really tempted to see if they hacked the pull rate as well. Can you imagine an 11 rainbow pull???

 

[dem0nx714]

WTF? Just got the 5k lapis too.

 

[Doctor_No]

I got nothing, but my GF's account got the 5000 lapis.

Welp. 5000 lapis would have been really nice to have for Ayaka banner.

 

[LowParry]

A free 5k. Hmm. Is Gumi capable of rolling that back or are they fooshed?

 

[Euphoria14]

Good Luck. I havent even tried it, or Aigion.

Toxic Rain is good?

Toxic Rain blinds the mini Malboros and chains well with Mirage from Pod 153.

My team was doing very well until that >10% thing I wasn’t aware of. Little fuckers wiped me out.

 

[Euphoria14]

WTF?

They better not sweep this shit under the rug. I want 5k too!


Edit - WHOA! Just got it!

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Are you kidding me, a free 5k? wth!

Edit: huh, reloaded the app and got it too. I'm scared. They're going to roll this back most definitely.

 

[UrSuLeTzU]

WTF?

They better not sweep this shit under the rug. I want 5k too!


Edit - WHOA! Just got it!

Did you just get it or what? I logged on all my devices and got nothing/

 

[robotuw]

The longer they take the less likely it is. If people bought lapis right now they would be screwed after a db rollback. They should have already taken the game down for emergency maintenance.

I take it back Gumi. This global-exclusive hacker ARG event is the best you've had in months!

Spoiler

though I also want my 5k

 

[Kouriozan]

Surprised at no urgent maintenance yet, it's been almost one hour now.

 

[UrSuLeTzU]

Surprised at no urgent maintenance yet.

Gumi is sleeping shhh!

 

[Kouriozan]

Apparently, even if you didn't get it, you can see the extra 5k in shop -> lapis history (bottom right button)

 

[Euphoria14]

Did you just get it or what? I logged on all my devices and got nothing/

Not sure if it’s what caused it, but my inbox was empty when I loaded up the game.

I then forced an expedition to finish, so I could try and drop something into the inbox. Expedition was a success.

Went to inbox and hit the claim all button.

 

[udca]

Haven’t even killed a single Malboro mini yet...

Party is surviving well though. Just wish my only Ace friend had more than 3.9K HP. Shocked he hasn’t been double KO’d yet.

Toxic Rain is a godsend! Always keeping the cigarette butts blinded.



Okay, back to business.

Do you still need an Ace? I can make one with good hp

 

[Syntsui]

It's too late for a rollback, but they can definitely track it and remove the lapis if they really want it.

 

[Euphoria14]

Do you still need an Ace? I can make one with good hp

Absolutely!

I haven’t tried it again yet.

 

[Broseybrose]

Toxic Rain blinds the mini Malboros and chains well with Mirage from Pod 153.

My team was doing very well until that >10% thing I wasn't aware of. Little fuckers wiped me out.

Well damn thats good to know! Especially since I only have one pod!

Checking now to see if Im 5k richer than I was an hour ago...

I am.

What do???

Aaaaaaand, maintenance.

 

[Officerrob]

Restarted app twice, no 5k lapis. Did it a third time, and it was automatically added to my total. Shit is weird

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Yea this is completely insane. Why Gumi? Disgruntled past player? They really should have shut the game down by now.

Someone let Val and Hippo know about the lapis, lol

 

[Euphoria14]

Just in case something happens, I took screenshots of all my units, items, materials, etc... along with my player ID screen.

Who knows, right?

 

[Syntsui]

And it's over, the game is down.

 

[Officerrob]

Here comes the maintenance, lets see what happens

 

[Mipcgamer]

Annnnd maintenance!

 

[Syntsui]

My NRG was full as I had just leveled up and was about to set up the farm again. Awful timing >.>

 

[Squall ASF]

Dammit! Just got home and couldn't see if I got the lapis before maintenance I probably didn't as Nox crashed and I wasn't able to log in to see when it crashed exactly but I guess I can hope...

 

[Doctor_No]

ugh maintenance

I just refilled energy for TM farming :/

 

[Kouriozan]

The dream is dead haha

 

[Euphoria14]

This 5,000 Lapis... ugh.

It’s free. I’m so tempted to buy the Prische pack @2,500 just for the Demon Killer.

That would solve my damage problem right away.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

This 5,000 Lapis... ugh.

It’s free. I’m so tempted to buy the Prische pack @2,500 just for the Demon Killer.

Unfortunately, it's no more, I bet

 

[robotuw]

Darn, never got the lapis and I was just about to rank up.

 

[Kouriozan]

I wouldn't have spend it anyway, currently hoarding too much.
But if you have less than 5k lapis you had nothing to lose.

 

[Euphoria14]

Unfortunately, it's no more, I bet

You know what, I could see Gumi doing some fucked up shit if I did buy it.

I bet they would finish up maintenance and I would have the 5,000 Lapis removed, but kept the Prische pack and had my previous Lapis total reduced 2,500. :/

 

[Xevren]

Wonder what the odds are that they'll do a rollback.

 

[Euphoria14]

Wonder what the odds are that they'll do a rollback.

They let the lucky few keep how many free pulls in the last couple of weeks?

They had better let me keep this 5k Lapis.

 

[vato_loco]

Maintenance is 5 hours long, I'm guessing the game isn't coming back until they figure out how the hackers managed to get inside.

We can only hope the 5k lapis are still there when the game returns.

 

[UrSuLeTzU]

Wonder what the odds are that they'll do a rollback.

I hope they do a rollback just for the lols!

 

[Xevren]

I hope they do a rollback just for the lols!

That's mean, I really hope they don't though. Would be so fucked up and just piss people off more.
