Added you. That'll be helpful as I get into maining Bastet more often. Trying to ween myself off of Double Odin teams.

Not sure what type of team I'll use for this. All of my primary mobs are fully evolved at this point. I have Robin that might fit, who know. I'll just wait for the suggested teams list to come out.
There is a good chance that we will get the Dungeon of Gold Dragons some time before the end of this event (April 10).

I've actually been running it almost nonstop since it started, and I only got 1 Deviling to drop. No skill up from that, of course.

Ouch. I suggest just waiting until we get a Gold Dragon dungeon. There's a good chance we'll get one before this event is over.

I usually keep Satan and D.Meta up for farming. Both max leveled. I won't pump +eggs into D. Meta until i get a Hanzo...probably never lol.

Flame Chaser, that's about all you need to know
My TAMAPURIN//F.Chaser team does pretty well on Tengu too as long as you don't accidentally kill 1F too quickly.

Some of the Eva mobs also work unevolved, dunno which ones of them you managed to pick up though.
Gaea and now Zhang Xuan/Xuan Zhang/whatevs are a different matter, and I haven't paid attention to team builds for those dungeons.

So I got my second devilit!
Busty shiva will happen as soon as I get a red divine mask. 250k from evolving my Ronia, then I'll essentially have a perfect Ronia team (fully awoken shiva, fully awoken FA Luci, king baddie, and lots of good devil options for that last monster slot)

I finally got a Dub-mythlit today and was just getting ready to evolve Horus too, damn.
I'm still far from getting a proper team for these low cost/rarity dungeons, but I'll have to be careful about what I evolve going forward unless I get dupes, blah. Gave the RO dungeon a try with Eva characters but it didn't go over too well. I started 47 days ago so I don't have the collab monsters that people were using like Batman and Leek.
I know these dungeons will come around again eventually, but that doesn't make me feel better about missing them now lol.

Added 50 slots recently after an unsuccessful run at the godfest so plenty of slots for the time being.
Gungho (and Xseed) now take up all of my time.
Between PAD and Ragnarok Ace I'm really enjoying my grindy gaming options.
I had played about 70 hours of the original RO, so I've been enjoying the heck out of ACE and am considering buying the PS3 version as well (I have the vita ver).
That being said, with PAD by converting to an IAP player with some decent rolls I now feel like I've moved backwards - I see more opportunities than before, and now want to try out different ways to play - realizing that leveling will either cost a lot of time or a lot of $$
I am really hit or miss with kirin, and I evo'd and am leveling my Luci as I've gone from maybe 30 pal points per day to well over 400-500 with a max awoken and leveling luci versus Loki.
I'm continuing to practice kirin intermittently, but wondering about the other leaders I now have - specifically Kusinadhime, and Byakko, Would it be worth it to play with these mobs to help practice spike team play?
I don't think I will be burning stones just to level - but once and awhile... (after that first IAP buy the next seem inevitable)
it seems for a kirin team my near goal should be to level my bezerk and highlander, valkyrie and fairlion. (I have echidna - crimson lotus although only level two, and an evolved susano)
Gungho is evil - the more great mobs and ways to play that you obtain, the more great mobs and ways to play you want. I am simply amazed at how much I think about this game - it seriously reminds me of my old mmorpg obsessions. I am also very cognizant of the fact that I almost lost my account and it took over 20 e-mails back and forth with gungho to get the account back - and how dumb some of gungho's policies on data back up have been without an account system, but I find myself waiting on stamina regeneration more often than not.

I remember this was happening with the Japanese version and US players and it was related to the time zone (the game had to be set to Japanese time). Never heard of it happening in the US version though.

Manually stop the app in the Setting->App->Running. My wife experienced once for her jp account, and problem solved in this way.
Am on Android 4.4.2 on Galaxy S4
official version, no roots, no roms.
Seems the only way to solve this problem for me is changing the time on my device to PST.
The problem is, EVERY TIME I open the game, I have to open it while on PST time or I'll go through that endless cycle.
This is extremely annoying

Yeah. Once you go IAP, it can be a slippery slope. When I first started as non-IAP, I was content just clearing dungeons and getting single copies of some must-have farmable monsters. I wasn't even concerned with skill-ups at all and marveled at YT vids of players like TGP who actually had a MAX-SKILLED HADES! THAT'S CRAZY! And rank 400 Japanese players seemed like an impossible achievement.
Then I finally went IAP and ventured down the rabbit hole. I bought 85 stones at first, being the most cost efficient option and figuring it would last for quite a while. Plus I had played so much PAD already up to that point that I felt I already got well over $60 worth of enjoyment out of it.
Well that first batch of stones did last for a while. My teams still weren't optimal and I wasn't able to burn through dungeons that quickly. But then Godfest came, and I decided to pull the REM a few times. Well that few times turned into a shitload of times. I think I pulled over $500 worth of eggs in that single event. I even had to call my credit card company because they froze my account for possible fraud. I got my account unfrozen and still continue to buy stones and pull.
By the time I was done I had most of the best monsters in the game. Instantly. This was back when there were only around 400-500 monsters in the game, mind you. But now I had all these awesome monsters that I needed to level and gain rank to have enough team cost to even use. Thus began my journey of extremely heavy play to achieve those things. I would blitz Plant, Dragon, and Pengdra dungeons constantly. I would blitz the weekend dungeon for rank and gold. And when we first got the MSK dungeon, skill-up farming finally entered my play. The only thing that would get me to slow down is when there weren't any events and it wasn't a Thursday. GH's analysis no doubt showed this pattern overall because they started making events and special dungeons more and more frequent. As well as add new monsters and collab dungeons at a faster pace. We now have some kinda of special event always going on. And along the way I pulled even more Godfest REMs.
I gotta say it's really the REM where I've spent the vast majority of money. Even with constant dungeon farming and refreshes, stones last a decent while. Let's take an extreme example and say I run a 50 stam dungeon 50 times to max skill a monster, and I have 200 stam. Ignoring rank-ups and natural stam regen, it would take me around 13 stones. Subtract about 7 stones from the daily free event stones and rank-ups and natural stam regen and you can get close to breaking even. Just the other week I mentioned how I was able max skill my FA Luci, Isis, and Grodin and still ended up with more stones than when the event started.
So, truly the most evil/expensive thing in the game is the REM. If players can resist pulling that contraption too much, you can do quite a lot in PAD without too much IAP. I haven't bought stones in about 2 months since I decided to go back to playing non-IAP. It's a lot more relaxing but I'm still making good progress without feeling too limited. The biggest thing I sacrificed was farming the Super Metal/Jewel dungeons. So I'm not able max level new monsters instantly the way I used to before. But exp will always be available and farming limited time dungeons for skill-ups is more urgent.
Geeze this is a long post.

You can use Tasker to set up a script that changes the time zone, launches PAD, then changes it back after you quit.

Looking at the facebook page there doesn't seem to be an official patch for the US version/this seems to be the only solution available since 6.4.2 was released on the 13th of March.

The worst part about IAP is that once you IAP, it becomes easier to just do it too for other games. Now that I'm playing Brave Frontier more, sometimes in that game I just think about how much faster things would go if I just bought some Gems, and the urge is hard to resist.
I spent the lions share of my IAP pulling, and I agree about the expense and hoping I can resist, *but* after non-iap for about 370+ days it completely changed the game for me - in a great way by opening up so much more content. I just have to try not to be greedy and take my time leveling my new mobs up.
I really enjoy reading your posts. I think the previous post explaining your spending habits and your ability to convert back to a non-iap player is extremely informative - this game is insanely addictive and I probably would have quit it a long time ago if not for this thread.
And another GungHo rep appears?
Thanks for the heads up. Free stuff is cool. Would like a chance to vote for a new dungeon next time!
Okuninushi done in eight feeds. Still going back for final Chiyome level. Will save hunting Dark Chasers for survey dungeon.
CoC collab coming back for two weeks starting on the 7th.

Well guys, nothing seems to solve the issue for now till I change the time zone.
Didn't know how to use that app Cosmo posted, I suck x_x
It all started yesterday, & since there's no official update it's probably because I flew between different countries of different time zones yesterday =_=
Anyway, the good news is:
Apparently not. Luckily I got the last skill up I need for Valk after 10 drops.
Well, according to the news screen it's 2x drop right now and 3x Kraken invade rate. It doesn't say so in the dungeon screen though.

Pre-2x, I ran master like 8-10 times with no siren drop. I got mine from one of the like 6 expert runs I did. I probably say run expert as you can get more runs in with your stamina, but ymmv.
I got one from my second Expert run. (didn't have a team capable of doing Master or Legend)
Haven't gotten one since, but Marine goblins are not uncoomon, so I'm not worried about skilling up.

Thanks. Since I only have stamina for two master runs, I will try some experts then.
Master/Legend is not that difficult if you have Cu Chu+ Droid dragon + ADKZ. Carefully stall on the first or second floor, bursting through floor five using two orb changers and mass attack, stall on floor six again. On floor 9 use Cu Chu+ADKZ. Floor 10 = use droiddragon active.
