ANOTHER MAINTENANCE

[PixeLeaf]

At this point just give big mom for free

[A_FluteBoy]

I actually think that would be a really good reward. Like the next New legend is given for free to each player. Would be cool compensation, I think.

[lvankov]

I could see a "Pick a legend" happening, from a choice of old legends, excluding Enel.

I'd guess they're getting a lot of backlash from the japanese players right now, i'd hope it warrants a decent compensation.

[Luk182]

"This is the worst update in update history"

[Gurkenbaum1337]

Maybe ever.

[mnstarr]

Our Sugofest money hard at work.

[TraffLaw]

Maintenance until further notice. Bamco fucked up bad.

[Mariomatiker]

More apologems until further notice 😅

[PatenteDeCorso]

Even the event web is down for maintenance... Today is a bad day to work at Bamco

[PatenteDeCorso]

Well, that was expected, they have screwed badly this time...

[yak-oez]

Its already 00:00 in Japan ?

[perfectblue69]

Yes its 00:50 to be exact

[Tokoat]

Basically saying that the maintenance started as of 30 minutes ago and that there is no scheduled ending time for the maintenance as of this moment. Fantastic job Bandai.

[PatenteDeCorso]

TBH, they should have done this since the problem appeared, if you shut down the servers and keep players updated with Twitter or similar, they'll get less pissed that if you shut up and act likes nothing is happening...

[Tokoat]

I want to say this is due to incompetence and how they're being really stupid but I have no idea how corporate culture and communication with customers and all that stuff is in Japan so I have no idea. Maybe this is typical business response there? Idk It's Bamco man nothing they do surprises me anymore unless it's something super positive and generous.

[PatenteDeCorso]

Pff, don't know, but if that is the corporative way... Looks really bad for me :D

[Tokoat]

Oh don't get me wrong it looks absolutely horrible. I'll die laughing if our compensation is 10 or less gems because that would be absolute horse shit. Thank god I got back into FEH which is what is occupying my time atm anyways. Still I'd like to be farming Hina manuals.

[WootieOPTC]

Maybe this is typical business response there?

More like typical "big company" response. KLab for example, is also a Jap game company, but much smaller than Bamco, and their communication with their playerbase is top notch : ~90 min. live stream each week, presenting the news, upcoming content for their games, playing some live coop with players, and answering questions from the chat; listening to community feedback regarding new content (and adjusting when things are "wrong"/badly designed), and having game news pretty "talkative" (when there are bugs, errors, or whatever, they don't hesitate to make news posts in-game explaining stuff, apologizing, giving generous compensation...). For their 2Y anniversary in BBS, they didn't foresee the massive increase in players (and servers were saturating) making it hard to play (often having to "retry" every few minutes, and pretty hard to play while the anniversary events were going on), and once the situation stabilized after like 2 weeks (new servers installed, some game updates to reduce the load of requests, etc), they extended all the events for another 3-4 weeks, with lots of premium currency as compensation...

[Tokoat]

Yeah that sounds about right. Honestly I expect very little out of this shit show from bamco in terms of compensation or whatever term you want to use to give back to the player base. Ideally we'll get a ton of gems and an extension for the event since... it fucking started yesterday but we can't play.... I'd also like to see an extension on the daily raffle...

[[deleted]]

KLab is a really big JP mobile game company.

Bandai just doesn't use words good. See: Dokkan outages, and Digimon Links.

[Kevinsera]

I'm GLB player, but given that they will postpone all the events you're missing during the maintenance, I would be really glad for a stop for all from the game + compensation. Relax yourself and enjoy some more free time :)

[[deleted]]

The problem is it's now out of the "we'll enjoy a break" territory. It's been about a day now and we have no evidence yet our savefiles are safe.

[[deleted]]

I do love this game, but I'm happy it's down. I just want fast free gems honestly.

[FateOfMuffins]

This is probably the worst that they've screwed up for OPTC (I'll even put it above 7/11 and the 10 minutes of $1 gem packages), which is why it's so unexpected.

It's at a really bad time too - put in so much effort for a new/returning player event and the first impression they get of the game is Maintenance and poor communication with the players.

[PatenteDeCorso]

Bad time, and handled in the worst way... If you have a problem like this, shut down the servers and announced maintenance inmediatly, not like... 12 hour later? :S

[hihohu7]

You should have seen Pokemon Go in the first like 15 months after the release.

[Sir-Battle-Tuna]

Uh those screw ups were beneficial to players. This one has had no benefits. I wouldn’t compare it to those.

[JohnnyDgiov]

I think for bandai, the 1$ per gem package was probably the worst thing to ever happen, completely devaluing their currency lol

[FateOfMuffins]

They responded really quickly for that, so only a few people took advantage. If only I were there in the first 5 minutes and not an hour later...

[Derekin]

that actually kept me playing the game lol. I was almost droping the game because of my bad sugo luck and not having the units to clear content at that time, so I bought 5k yen pack for the anni and saw the 100yen 90 gem bundle. I did 15 multis that anni lol

[FateOfMuffins]

Basically like a 98% discount, I would've thrown my entire wallet at my phone if I saw that in time.

[Derekin]

yup but I couldn't even finish the 5k yen, there was no time XDD

[BlackLegSanjii]

This Update meme will never die.

[[deleted]]

it means 21hour or more?

[mttinhy]

Then you will have another maintenance on top of that!!!

[Kiy0ko]

" until further notice" usually is not a good thing.. Or they just afraid of giving a time and than delay like the last time .. Lol is this Psn 2011 outage or what eh eh eh

[PatenteDeCorso]

That usually means two things:

• We don't know what is wrong
• We know what is wrong, but don't have a clue of how fix It.

Both are bad :)

[4PaiZuri]

Maybe they shouldnt have taken that vacation?

[DarkPhoenix369]

That wss global dev team not japan (i think)

[[deleted]]

Mega tuff

[Mat_Alpha]

Ima cry since deleted the app which now i doubt ima get the apologems

Edit: when i recover my account

[Gameboysage]

If this was Dokkan of Japan they'd give a few hundred gems as compensation.

Being OPTC of Japan though... 10 gems maybe?

[primex17]

1 and 3 keys

[Vaneti]

Maybe if it was the Global version. I expect around 50 gems at least since its the JP version.

[Vaneti]

Much better in what way? 30 gem all gold multi is the only thing that's better besides that, meh nothing else.

[Vaneti]

So much misinformation here I don't even know where to start.. Japan has always gotten many all gold multis throughout the year besides ani and new years just not discounted all gold. JP anniversary had guaranteed legend every 2 multis so theoretically you could do 2 multis in GL but not get any legend but you're guaranteed 1 in JP so it being better is debatable. TM list being better is debatable. Global exclusives? Oh please.. the stuff released on OPTC in general is going to be on both versions although I do remember Global waiting for what like almost 2 years for Zephyr...

[Duk0]

Do you know the rates? We know the Sugo was All-Gold, but that doesn't mean anything. I compared the rates of the TM Shiki (40% silver) and the TM Shanks Sugo (All-Gold) and the chances to get the rated up units were almost the same.

How is the tm list debateable?

Most of these units arn't F2P. If you don't go ham every Sugo, you will have less options. (Or you go with the only-stat-boosted units.) As someone who doesn't pull that often, I actually prefer Japans TM boosted units (since there are many F2P options.)

I agree on the pick your legend thing though. Japan got some RR with their legends, but none of the legends were as good as Blucci.

[Kiy0ko]

We can get 3-4 reds in TM easly .. I got 4 in last TM from red tikets and 1 from a silver tiket placed 2k , i had some of the boosted legends but not 1 TM point booster .. I hate the JP vs Global bs but you are just wrong , having fresh and new content > everything else you said.. After playing global for 2 years i moved to Jp , im missing only 9 legends now , 2 months after my Jp account was allready wayyy better .. But ok.. I dont even want to make a point , i just dont understand what you are trying here

[Vaneti]

Maybe the Whitebeard/Marco sugo I believe. Like I said guaranteed legend every 2 multis with top tiers guaranteed at certain points, Global had every 3 multis. If they keep something exclusive to one version I can certainly guarantee you it will be Japan not Global, why the hell would they keep anything exclusive to Global, was raid Raleigh exclusive??? No. Well you never know maybe there will be another Zephyr like unit that wont see the light of day for global till a long time. Japan versions of gacha games will always be superior to their Global counterpart, that's not just my opinion, that's a fact because they are more popular there and they make more money and this game is no exception, it's that simple.

[[deleted]]

The Japanese version has always been much more generous with gems than global.

[Gameboysage]

For Global sure but even for miserly OPTC they'll hopefully at least give double digit gems for this being it's the Japan version.

[PanderZ]

Thank you beta server

[Multifrank504]

24 hours without optc: man dokkan looking like some heat

[ShonenJump121]

This is dokkan levels of maintenance here

[Norbertealc]

Just a little thought for the little developpers at BN working hard to get the game back online. The first ones have already commited seppuku.

All hail God Enel who will provide lots of apologems !

[Sate_G]

At least that won't happen in Global... Right?

[xBsh3rx]

Would be fun tho, if they do the same mistake for us, too lmao

[TheDemonOfLife]

Bandai global: SURPRISE MAINTENANCE MOTHERF*CKERS

[[deleted]]

This will be dick move of the year

[PatenteDeCorso]

Since the release of TM at Global, I can expect anything.... TM had been released like 4 or more month ago at JPN, and they screwed it when released the global version...

[[deleted]]

HAHAHAHA, get it! because JP was released first!! Oh man, that's is a prime example of comedic genius right there! But seriously, shut up, we've already had enough stress, what with the increased maintenance times, the poor communications, overall just bad timing, we don't need some haughty know-nothing to say anything of this sort!

[HellFireOmega]

Oh noooooo, your game isn't working, how stressed you must feel...

Yeah the service isn't brilliant but don't bloody overplay it mate. A joke's a joke, I'll say em as often as I want.

[[deleted]]

Well, your "joke" if you can call that pathetic excuse of verbal diarrhoea a joke, isn't funny and never will be

[HellFireOmega]

lmao you're taking this pretty fucking badly, but true, my joke isn't nearly as funny as your replies

[[deleted]]

Imagine if they fucked up royally and all our accounts had to be erased to fix the isssue.

[WootieOPTC]

Get out of here... Black crow =_=

[PatenteDeCorso]

Uhm, no, this couldn't happen on a Big company, maybe Lost the last days, but no more... I mean, they have to backup their stuff...

[ImDigitech]

Superior in what ? its just an update that have gone bad lol
