Exactly! Super metal is the only place to spend those stamina during off-event. It should be standardized ages ago like the Japanese version did.

Pretty much.
haha wow are they seriously pulling this shit?
fucking hell Gungho NA
At least my Andromeda team is forming nicely, ult evo'd my Andromeda and evo'd the rest of my team bar Water Dragon Warrior. I have 7 Blue Dragon Fruits waiting to skill up Skuld and then I have 5 faeries currently for Andromeda, hoping to get somewhere in the 20s.

middle finger.
love how we get treated - please add the option to transfer accounts - I said it before, but worth repeating - just let us transfer paid accounts to JPN and merger the servers.
with the poor communication from gungho to begin with (try e-mailing a question) what is the possible reason to lag US versus EU - not even to start with JPN ver.

Yeah fuck this game. Reasonable updates and communication are important and yet we get shit.
There is no reason to be like 4 months behind considering they push out collabs at the same time (batman, DC). Anything except for day and date parody is unacceptable. I have been a decent enough supporter because I have enjoyed the game but we need to beg for updates and those with 5.1 can't even play.
Don't even get me started on all the stream bullshit either. Japan looks like professionals and we get Michael and Anthony who make it look like a high school production.

The update strategy boggles my mind considering how much money Gung-ho makes, seems like try are actively trying to throttle the US version.
If they pull stuff like this regularly without any kind of explanation it will get frustrating fast.

Well to be fair to them, Japan generates a lot more revenue than the US version so I don't think they have a very large budget for these things.
There's no excuse for the version disparity though.
Then why even do them? Gung ho is a billion dollar company. Why release it in the US if they are going to pull this shit.
It makes less sense to have different clients if the US doesn't make that much money.
I am only talking about the streams. Obviously some people still like to watch them, otherwise they would have stopped by now. They just can't justify the budget given PAD isn't even in the top 100 of the games only chart while it's #2 in the overall chart in Japan.
Why are you against the streams though? They give out free shit even when you don't watch them.
I have this thing about appearances and how if you are going to do something then it might as well be done correctly. It doesn't take that much investment to put out high quality streams.

They fucked up somewhere. The maint notice used to include "update via goop/itunes after servers go back up" but no longer does.
Coin Dungeons are worth your stamina as well, they're probably a better investment than Supers depending on your needs.
JP generates a lot more money but the company is still generating billions of dollars from one simple game. The game doesn't require hundreds of people development teams like a AAA blockbuster title. We're talking about a puzzle game with some new artwork and minor mechanics added. For them to take 4 months to transfer it over is a joke.
They definitely are throttling content so things don't fizzle out for us faster than they would if they keep the carrot on a stick in front of us like they've been doing. Just very frustrating.

Wish they'd be straight with us why there's no update. It's not like players don't know about the existence of KR / EU, and the latter one should be pretty much identical to ours. It's worse PR to go "please understand" than it is to actually explain things.
Also PAD Academy gacha info up, they added 12-cost(!) minis for hero gods and isis, and 6* minis for chiyome (who has 3x TPA) and rodin (awakenings unknown currently)

Agreed it is not difficult to translate and release.
The issue is that they want people to stay and buy more stones but then they don't support those players in the US effectively. They effectively punish their most loyal fanbase and those that support the game hoping for new players.
I am not disagreeing with you there. Note that I was strictly talking about the stream quality, in which case I think those poor guys were doing the best they could.
Didnt we have 2 guys in the thread tht worked for gungho??? Ive been asking forever if they are going to ever to being the game to SA, i hate lookimg at ads for brave frontier and not pad. Considering that padz is coming out in all the Americasidont see why the game is not released outside the us and canada. Gungho us has a lot of pr work to do.
Yup whatever makes them money I guess..
I agree with allowing us to transfer accounts to JP servers.

i 100% agree, they are able to deliver the content at the same time with JP, so why's so hard to update UEVO and new features.
GH Japan need to issue a statement about this.
The problem is how do we make GH Japan know this is a big deal here.

This. WTF Gungho NA.
You can explain the disparity between the JPN and NA versions as a business decision or w/e but not getting the same client update as EU is a slap in the face. And delayed 5.1 support too? SMDH
Wow, people are rioting on the NA facebook page & they really have all the right to.
Android 5.1 has been out for almost 2 months now, I haven't accessed the game in 3 weeks or so!
PAD W, stamina overflow, so many ultimate evolutions!
But to fall behind all servers, this is really disappointing & irrespectful to their fans!
We used to have someone who works in PAD NA office write here every now & then.. Would love to hear an explanation to this chaos!

Maybe there was some technical difficulties with the patch in the NA servers?

I mean that's the obvious conclusion, but don't try to hide behind a Nintendo-BS "stability" excuse, while not even providing an ETA for the patch, while deleting negative posts from FB. The fact that this update has been five months in the works and every other region was able to successfully patch is just kindling.
Honestly this is my issue is when questioned about why everyone else got it they straight up lied. And then when rightfully questioned they remove posts. They really only care it seems to have day and date parody if they are going to make lots of money off rolls. (batman, hello kitty, dc)
Two months after 5.1 was released. All their competitors have had day 1 or nearly support.
Worst part of is that GungHo seems to be deleting comments too.
Wow! That's extremely childish & insulting to their fans.

Apparently there's a new minigame going around recently where you start a fresh account and see how far you get without ever expanding box size past the initial 20 you start out with. One variation also has you never rolling REM.
Yeah, I've seen this on Reddit a lot recently. I wouldn't be able to handle that. I saw a guy who was debating if he should feed off a Light Kali because it didn't fit his team. I wanted to cry.
I wonder how much it would cost to create a clone that didn't depend on stamina but rather you could charge for each "godfest" - when a new card is designed you could charge for the entire decend pack.
there seem to be enough direct clones using the stamina route - but a straight up - play any time you want - akin to doctor who legacy - could use a d&d or scifi theme without the god based theme so it would actually be a bit different.
- demo version that exists without decends/technicals/challenge mode
- charge 1-2 dollars for the base game with special events
- say 5 new mobs/cards every month for 2 dollars - optional of course.
- could take the best parts if PAD and clones and make it playable on your own time.
100k? 200k? seems like you could hire a few programmers and create a really decent game without the dependance on handouts from a JPN company that is certainly killing it in JPN but is having trouble breaking into the market in US, and that has terrible customer service.

I've been trying it with Juggler. Do roll REM though.
Trying to build a team with my new Nephthys. Here's what I'm aiming for:
-Nephthys
Grape Dragon
D/L Yomi
Vampire
???
-Nephthys
For the vampire, I'm not sure if I should use the Blue/Dark or Dark/Blue version. Blue/Dark has better stats, but I feel like Blue/Dark loses a lot of damage since Dark is the subcolor. What would you guys recommend?
Also I'm not sure what to use in that last slot. I don't really have a lot of good subs. Maybe Hera, D/L Anubis or Blue Odin?
Thanks.

Went 2/10 on Haku skill ups, which puts me at 11 turns, with two more to go. I'm out of keepers for now, so I'll be storing chasers to evolve them later, which is the most annoying method imo.
On another note, is every floor a guaranteed drop on the weekday mythicals on non-event days? I need a few dragon fruits and figured Thursday mythical was my best bet.

Do you have lemon, Haku, Karin?
Nope. Only the final floor is guaranteed. On non-2x days, every other floor is something like 50%.
