Imagine if you just played without any contact with any other players, how confusing these messages would be. No one will say no to free gems, but if you had no knowledge of the JP characters, skill up rates or anything like that, and then this news of some ambiguous "error," this must all seem strange. For the 1% who play like that.

I did some turtle hunting after all of the craziness yesterday ended. I made sure to get at least 1 level in each of the FP units I pulled that I didn't fuse away. I also evolved a few.
In my head I was convincing myself "they can't do anything with my new characters if I feed the copies or level each of them by 1-2 levels" It's silly I know. I could see them taking them back and sending us whatever we happened to feed them but hmmm i dunno. Sounds like a lot of work.

OMG the burnout set in for a few days and look what I missed! I feel even less inclined to log in now.
I don't think this should be a bannable offense. That's like saying I should go to prison because I took advantage of a price error on Walmart's web store. It's their fault this happened in the first place. Judging by their latest notice, it looks like we might be able to keep our units and they'll compensate people who used gems to do RR pulls during the FP glitch.

It would have been much more entertaining if they wound up swapping the RR pool with the FP pool and anyone who did RR pulls got units like Cabin Boy Brawler whenever they pulled. Did anyone try using RR when all this was going down?
I thought that might have happened, but people on Reddit claim the RR worked properly. Maybe it was acting as a STR up too? That would have made the DEX up false advertising, which would make the apology understandable.
This is what I was thinking too, but I guess (as Redboot said) Reddit dis-proves that.
I'm glad to hear that we're (apparently) keeping all of our pulled characters. Not only that, but we're getting five Rainbow Gems because of this "inconvenience". Namco Bandai, if this is how you inconvenience people, feel free to do it any time you want.
Every couple weeks, so we can get our FP count up again first
Agreed.
Namco Bandai, please let us stock up on FP first and then inconvenience us. Don't forget the complimentary apology gems afterwards!
Furthermore they should add Legends to the pool and remove silver posters. Oh and every 10-pulls you get at least one red poster.
Really, it's the least they could do.

they were very shitty. got one of her and ducked out. fuck that fn.
I had a rainbow slasher team that handled it pretty easily (I think it was Double Mihawk, Arlong, Lucci, Shanks and Ryuma), but it was kind of a slow fight, especially since Sadie's special animation is kind of long. Might have to try and come up with a better team. EDIT: Just talking about the fortnight itself here, not sure what to do for the ranking mission.
I'll probably stick to T-Bone farming, but both Sadie and Hina are decent units and offer decent books, and the EXP return for Expert runs will be nice thanks to the half stamina event.

When does T-Bone's 2nd evolved form get good? I'm around 50 and getting +8/+6 each level, waiting to see if it starts hitting high numbers.
Mine is at 65 and has 889 attack. He maxes out at 1100 attack. As slashers go his attack is average, the main thing is that he's the best PSY slasher available right now besides Legend Shanks (who many of us will never get).
He also has 3 sockets, which is pretty rare for fortnight units. If you have Legend Croc, he's the best health reducer available until we get 3D2Y Robin.

Welcome to the wonderful world of PSY slashers!
There's nothing to fix. Even Japan got it on 30stamina.
Oh I see. It's going to be a pain in the ass then...
The ranking mission will be based on your team comp + how fast you clear. Maybe the mission won't be so strict when it comes to the crew cost.
I guess having an unevolved Mihawk is going to be a big benefit to this fortnight
I also just saw an interesting take on the 7/11 FP madness. It doesn't say anywhere what's actually SUPPOSED to be in the FP recruit pool. They can't accuse anyone of any knowing wrongdoing because they don't make any particular claims about what you should expect.

Absolutely. There's no way that they would ban anyone for this.
Right, I think we are solidly super duper in the clear on banning, there's no doubt in my mind on that. But beyond that they also can't really justify taking the units away because there's nothing within the game that says you shouldn't be getting those units from FP recruit.
It'd be like someone winning at a slot machine and the casino owner coming over and going "Whoops that one was broken, sorry!"
I think the "further compensation" is only going to be that RR was accidentally turned over to the STR up event too and they'll give people all the gems they spent back.
Yeah, it was really easy.
I didn't have T-Bone, so I just substituted him for SW Shanks. I got over 420k easy on my first try. As long as you have the staple Slasher characters, this should be no problem.
I got around that too and before the prizes started popping off I was like "Hm, probably going to need to hit 1,000,000. This'll be tricky"
Yeah, haha. When I hit the platinum rank, I was like "...That's it!?".
Not that I'm complaining, easy items!
Just the old islands.

I need to make a shopping list of all the evolvers I need for my new units. It's been a long time since I've had to do that.
Since they apologized, and gave us adequate compensation, I guess I'll forgive them.
I -GUESS- I'll forgive them
now if you'll excuse me I need to start deep diving on G3 team compositions
In other news...
\o/!
SUUUUPPEEERRRR happy that we get to keep the units -- the gems are a nice touch too! While I understand, and am thrilled for it, I'm also going to go very light on the next few sugos because of this. Probably do my customary 1-2 pulls, but that's it until more units get added (I'm actually missing most of the newest batches, but this FP mixup got me all the CP9 I believe).
EDIT: Ranking was a piece of pie. Literally sorted by strongest slasher and took them all with a coffin boat (double INThawk lead). Got 487000 on the first try, all three rewards.Feels good.

Does it do damage? It works on a G3 team.
But seriously, any rainbow heavy hitters with good utility specials. Healers in particular are useful for G3 since he can't use meat without a big sacrifice in damage. Damage reducers if you want. Delayers as always are good, especially since one of the weaknesses of G3 is a big group of mobs with 1 turn cooldown.
One thing to note is that all your damage is coming from your last three characters, so it often helps to prioritize utility specials over damage for a few units. But having a whole team of different type heavy hitters of course means you can get that huge multiplier on any type you need.
My current go to G3 team is: G3/G3/Boa/Sabo/Doflamingo/GPU
The only issue is that Doflamingo doesn't get the Sabo special damage boost, but Sabo, Boa, and G3 do. And since Sabo is a two turn burst, I could toss a free spirit orb locker in there (don't have Aoikiji yet, but he's a good fit). Or a conditional booster like Monet. There are a lot of options depending on how much of a burst is desired.

I need to figure out all of my evo unit needs soon, myself.
Is there a site to do that automatically or did you make the chart manually?

I evolved my Boa and now the real questoin is if I want to feed her my meat. (Hurrr huurrr.) I already had QCK Marco so I have a 2.75x lead. The Boa raid probably won't happen for a long time so I doubt it's viable to knock leveling and sockets out at the same time. Is it worth it to use my last meat on a super sub?
Honestly I would say save the meat since you already have the QCK version of Marco. Both units are very similar to one another, except she has a lower CD than he does and slightly less attack. If you find yourself using Marco a lot, and think you could really benefit from the 17 turn heal in the near future then I'd say go ahead and give her the meat. Otherwise I would just feed her any extra turtles/pigs/fodders for now.
Well, I think you can level up another legend really fast if you want. Events like this CYO turtle time + pigs will give you enough exp to almost max (if not max) any legend.
So I think you can use the meat on Boa and be done with her for now. Sure Boa raid dupes for sockets will give you some exp but I don't know if you can farm her that easily (since she is one of the hardest raids) and raid Boa is also a great sub, so you could focus on raid Boa first. A fully socketed Boa could take several months...
I used my meats on Boa and Khalifa and got Shanks and Croc the last two Sugos. Shanks is maxed and Croc will probably be maxed after the green turtle time.
