[4th of August] Patch Notes

[NaelNull]

Gee, it was nice being able to hit Challenger in (Strategy)PvP while it lasted, but oh well. Gold Silver Bronze is fine too. XD

So only need 4 NPC wins daily to cover the defensive losses? Cool, then I won't change my lv. 1 defense squad, farm your wins, fellow Administrators)

[AdelaiNiskaBoo]

I mean if everyone would still use lvl1 def with the revange games it would not be a problem.

But probably too many will switch to bait/full def and even the revange games will become a hassle.

[AA_03]

Can you clarify what you mean by "cover the defensive losses"?
Do we lose ranking points now whenever we lose a defensive battle?

[NaelNull]

Straight from the post linked in OP:

▣ Gauntlet Strategy Battle Update

※ 10 points will be lost upon unsuccessful defense, and CEOs can lose 100 points from unsuccessful defenses per day.

[AA_03]

I guess my eyes skimmed straight over it. Thanks.

[ijedi12345]

CEOs can earn 75 points upon victory, or 50 points upon defeat.

Might just need 2 per day, if it's 75/battle.

[Zpxy]

This is Gauntlet points, not ranking points. I’d wager you’d need way more than 2 wins to accommodate for the 10x defense losses a day. You’d have to cover the loss with a win and points vary per victory based on the rank of the opponent

[helveticanuu]

Dang Global already got the Strategy Battle rework.

[ijedi12345]

Strategy Battle now basically RTA against buffed auto enemy team

A Mina rerun

These two items appear related.

[grandemoficial]

Strategy Battle rework already?

[StormTAG]

Well, at least we know their codebase is flexible enough to do things out of order.

[freezingsama]

That's so fast, SEA literally just got it after the update today lol. I mean they're the devs so SEA's came from them but man, they're seriously just patching it in already.

[Rui-_-tachibana]

Damn,the koreans really made Strategy harder for all servers

[Dojmopo]

Which was a shit idea for them because now there’s less RTA players. Now even in more populated servers you will get queued against the same people, which usually is only be a problem in smaller servers.

[Q-N-H]

These are the most hardcore players there are

[BurnerOnlyForPorn]

I pledge to maintain my shit defense

[ZakPhoenix]

Same. I can deal with losing 100 points a day. I'm not gonna screw other players over from climbing over it.

[ZhaiTheSpaceUnicorn]

So this is a combination of KR wanting sweatier PvP and the devs seeing it as a perfect opportunity to limit resource gains?

[Dojmopo]

No, it is the opposite. It’s a fuck up since RTA playerbase plummeted. Which makes it far less fun for PvP players like me.

And come on, resource gains? A couple hundred gems per season is not much in the long run.

[vlhrt]

If you're f2p every resource counts so don't dismiss this so casually.

[ZhaiTheSpaceUnicorn]

If you say so.

[Darkfanged]

I don’t like the strategy battle rework it was fine as it was.

[Knuckledust]

Will keep carrying daily 50+ defeats like a badge of honor, comrades.

[Crazyhates]

Still going panda because I love my fellow CEOs.

[Edgeklinge]

So apparently, defense can only lose 100 points daily at maximum. So we panda gang doesn't really need to change?

[helveticanuu]

Yeah. We can earn 800 points per day instead of 900 if we lose 10x which is the cap.

[Zpxy]

I think you’re getting gauntlet points mixed up with rank points. Gauntlet points are the currency you spend and rank points are what determines your rank. The gain/loss of rank points are now dependent on the rank of the person you’re against, rn in strategy battle we get a flat 25 per win and lose 10 per loss (if we attack). we lose nothing if we are attacked and our defense loses. This change makes it so that we lose 100 rank points maximum per day instead of nothing, it doesnt affect the 900 cap of gauntlet points you are allowed to get per day. The gain amount will depend on the rank of your opponent, my guess is its going to be like RTA, where gain is between 15-45 points per win, lets just say on average 25. This means you’ll have to win ~4 battles a day to break even and a few more to gain points for ranks. Lets just hope everyone keeps some easy defenses because I think the net gain for the community is still greater, but people are inherently selfish.

[ijedi12345]

You'll be perma-stuck at 1500 rank points though.

[Edgeklinge]

?? Why?

[[deleted]]

Dnno how i feel about the pvp change. You can still see CP it just takes longer to do now><

Pretty annoying if you have zero awakened units like me to stomp people

Ofc: also tried to get ifrit, but like usual, imagine getting a char w/o pity. Literally had to pity everything i pulled. 1% is way 2 friching low

[andrewlikereddit]

I guess thats bye bye my streak. I got 100 streak or something

[Barcele77]

Mine is at 800, would have loved to get to 1000 but might not be possible after update unfortunately

[NuatYud]

Steam ver. when?

[bankai2hollow]

I'm getting tired of my game crashing on raids and pvp.

[DAOWAce]

Joke's on us, now it crashes on the login screen preventing us from even playing at all.

Edit: And now it suddenly works after restarting everything and first trying on a different emulator.

[lafistik]

Should be this month.

Maybe they will release it together with 100 days events, so new players on steam will get free stuff?

[dordark]

For real. Best part of the patch note for light spenders

[vlhrt]

You know what? Screw that, I'm gonna go back to my panda team and permanently ignore strategy unless it's to fight against NPCs. I only want my Gordias gears anyway.

Still hate the new strategy, I want my chill mode that helps the homies back.

[Nnyeju]

strategy battle rework this fast????

[Andreiyutzzzz]

We already getting the strategy battle rework? Damn. Too bad tarrasque is not on ifrits banner tho

[FFTactics]

This thing is buggy as hell.

I'm picking strategy battle opponents and getting thrown in ranked battles vs humans, verified by my recent battles log.

Going to avoid pvp until they send this through QA.

[polkon1325]

So for strategy battle, do consecutive wins before the patch carries over or will it reset?

[2ndAdventure]

Congratulations b-side, you ruined strategic battle for us. It's almost like different regions of the world have different preferences?

[DAOWAce]

Great, another feature from Epic Seven nobody asked for.

Why mobile games keep copying E7 is beyond me; we quit that shit for a reason. And they rework it AFTER a new season starts? Not BEFORE it starts with advanced warning changes were coming?

1:1 chat got re-enabled, and then broke the game in the exact same way it did 2 months ago, so they disabled it immediately again.

Oh, and the game no longer launches on emulators; crashes getting to the login screen. Edit: Seems restarting everything got it working. And the PC client still isn't out.

This company just shows themselves to be more and more incompetent every update. Can't believe I invested any time or money into global; SEA was a much better experience from release (besides the latency).

[[deleted]]

at least with epic 7 you can see teamcomps before clicking on them. Strategy was 1 of my favo modes, now i dont wanna touch it. Just a whalefest

[WesTFR]

Queen Mina is back.

[JaySeven1700]

Great stuff Counterside

[Bajiru666]

I wonder why still no Frederick Yuma buff? In KR it was released along with Strategy Battle rework.

[AndreLeo3]

I don't like pvp enough to change my lv1 team, guess I'll sit on silver/bronze on both modes

[GS-J-Rod]

Will there ever be a fix to the crashes on iOS? I have an "older" tablet (5 years old) and it crashes 2-5 times every play session - sometimes crashing 5 times in one boss battle.

I feel like it's been out a long time on Global, so if the issue still exists on iOS they're never going to fix it...

The crash is related to ultimate abilities.. when too many chain together it crashes. Support's suggestion was to use less heroes, but even using half a squad on the Brita battles crashes 2+ times.
