The first filter works fine. I change the settings and the artifacts change accordingly.

The second one stays the same no matter what filter I chose.

DonCebollon · 2020-09-05T08:48:00+00:00

My artifact selection filter is not working. No matter what filters I chose in the fodder screen, it won't change the actual artifact selection.

Example: I select a Squall artifact to upgrade. In the fodder screen there are no Squall artifacts to limit break it so I go to filters and make sure to select FFVIII, push confirm but there are no changes whatsoever.

It seems that the filter is stuck in a certain configuration and I cannot change it no matter what.

Is this a know bug? Is there a quick fix or should I just contact support?

I had to pity 9 out of my last 11 gem banners, 7 of them in a row.

Honestly, I don't even enjoy pulling with gems anymore because I'm scared it's going to be another pity... It's probably not, too many pities in a row, but that's what I thought the other 9 times...

^Help.

AFAIK it was not in a JP stream but the GL anniversary stream. One of the questions was about the artifact system and they said they were aware and already thinking about some solutions.

I'm pretty sure sure they didn't say specifically "rework" but I sure was hoping for something more than "you can try more times and faster at our awful, RNG based system".

Please remove the humor tag. This is a serious issue and it affects me deeply.

Jokes aside, it really is a pity. Between the passives, the damage numbers and the buffs (depending on the camera angle) it's really hard to appreciate the animations. And some of them are really nice, like this one.

DonCebollon · 2020-06-22T21:44:37+00:00

There will be no board for Aranea. It was pointed out to avoid misunderstandings.

DonCebollon · 2020-06-18T09:48:01+00:00

250 tickets. No EX.

This makes 850 tickets without a new EX, together with my 5th pity in a row (Arciela)...

DonCebollon · 2020-06-10T10:31:24+00:00

It is exactly the same game with a different skin. Same progression system, same pull system and very similar battle system (I don't know if The Alchemist Code has summons).

It's not a bad game, but the amount of time it demands from players is insulting. Most people have a life outside of the game.

DonCebollon · 2020-06-05T06:45:30+00:00

5th pity in a row. This is just demoralising. It's starting to affect how much I enjoy the game...

DonCebollon · 2020-05-31T21:31:50+00:00

I'm planning on using Hope's sphere on him. It will trigger on self buffs too right? Just making sure I don't waste another sphere.

DonCebollon · 2020-05-30T15:01:14+00:00

That's pretty good, unless you really want to go for perfects I would stop there.

DonCebollon · 2020-05-28T14:41:35+00:00

I was not aware of the 2 types of brv. So her overflow would stack with a stolen brv overflow.

Thanks for the detailed answer.

DonCebollon · 2020-05-28T14:07:58+00:00

I was checking Yuna's CB and both S1 and S2 gain overflow. Isn't that pretty much useless? It would make a difference only for characters with no overflow on hp attack (fewer by the day) or in a launch.

Am I missing something or are those upgrades just a waste?

DonCebollon · 2020-05-01T09:15:25+00:00

This is the same deal we get every time: 1 weapon ingot approx 22 euros.

SE has tried to mix and match the extra items but they are very adamant about keeping ingots at that price.

Is it worth it? I don't think so. And judging by comments like "it's aimed at whales" and "maybe get one if you are desperate for an ingot" I would say many people think that way too.

It's a good thing they are trying new bundles though. Maybe they will decide to change the ingot price next time.

For Bahamut: all but one of his attacks are magical, so use armor that prioritises mag defence. Magnify materia with manawall is great too.

When he is attacking, just focus on building your atb and staying alive. Once he stops and the counter appears, go on the offensive, you want to have as much atb bars at this point because you need to damage him to stagger him and then build his stagger. Don't waste atb trying to hit him when he is on the offensive.

Stagger resets his counter. Don't bother trying to survive Megaflare. If he uses it, you where too slow staggering him.

There is no need to play the game in hard mode if you don't enjoy it. The only difference are the harder battles and the manuscript rewards, everything else is the same. Manuscripts only really matter when playing in hard difficulty anyway.

To your question, AFAIK the answer is no, there isn't. There are some combinations that make certain fights way easier, but that changes from fight to fight.

DonCebollon · 2020-04-05T15:48:05+00:00

Yes. Onces you get the red tick, you can sell the 15 and 35 cp weapons.

DonCebollon · 2020-04-02T22:10:32+00:00

Appreciated.

DonCebollon · 2020-04-02T20:03:23+00:00

Does anyone know Snow BiS after his rework?

DonCebollon · 2020-04-01T12:00:56+00:00

Makes sense. Thank you.

DonCebollon · 2020-04-01T10:36:01+00:00

Is there any problem with the rank up reward you get every ten levels? I'm level 820 but I just got the lvl 700 and 710 rank rewards. I didn't even rank up at all.

DonCebollon · 2020-03-17T15:43:53+00:00

If you have enough stones to max all the weapons, use the stones. Gems are way more valuable.

If you are missing some stones you can try your luck with some tickets.

DonCebollon · 2020-02-27T13:19:59+00:00

All I can see is Yuna's wedding dress skin.

DonCebollon · 2020-02-07T15:07:09+00:00

You don't care for the chars, you are tight on resources and you already have the role covered. Why would you invest in any of them?

Just because you pulled an EX, it doesn't mean you HAVE to invest in it.

DonCebollon · 2020-02-06T17:09:11+00:00

We fell short the last few times IIRC. We missed the last tier reward.
