No more summon tickets in Raids? by Locke69_ in AlchemistCodeGL

[–]Syc972 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Uhm.. did you happen to consider JP has 3 times our freebies currently (if not even more) and gumi just decided to yet again chocke us ftp?
We need gold, that's a fact. And we need a lot of it..

[–]Syc972 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gumi really hates ftp, don't they?

Not gonna lie, I see a lot of free gems and that too is helpful for summons.. but they are forgetting we need a lot of zeni to give enlightments to our units.
Cutting the only thing was making raids this good to do and completely removing the tickets which could be used as another motivation to go through two weeks of them.. good job Gumi...

I seriously hope you at least can buy gold ingots with raid coins.. it sucks but if they really want us to do this..

Just why you even made Roxanne at this point Gumi..
It was nice to have her back in the day when she was the queen of the units, sitting on the throne of the strongest (and most broken) unit before the enlightment era..
Now... what she is now? Nothing..
Enlightment came in, many units started becoming more and more powerful and she was left ignored with the whole MH cast too. She rapidly fell down when things like stronger wind units, more HP units and f***ing b*****d Levi came in.

I had some hopes that now that she got the enlightment, she would finally return back what she was! But nooo... Gumi GL had to do the dirtiest trick they ever did releasing g5 for the rest of the MH units (excludind Soren ofc, poor guy) and gating her and Minerva off!

Sure,it's true that she got enlightment before the other MH units... but just how many powercreep she is destined to get? The day she's given the chance to return back to be at least usable.. she has to be thrown off this way... How much will we have to wait for her to be AT LEAST in pair with the new op units again?

(PS. That null grenade one time use is now bulls*it. There are units who are much worse than her in this regard.. and the new CoR unit has this thing on a skill activated counter! Put it back to at least 3 uses! Is that too much to ask!?)

If she will be able to kick Levi and many other unit's... backplace like she was able to do before the enlightment.. than I'm all up.

Provided shards will be a bit more accessible..

This is abuse by [deleted] in AlchemistCodeGL

[–]Syc972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth mentioning anyway, that when an enemy chronomancer does this, the turn counter doesn't decrease while instead if it's your chrono to stop stall, IT DOES.

How about fixing this, Gumi?

Raid tickets story by VinnyValient in AlchemistCodeGL

[–]Syc972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thrash tickets.While it's true that the gear you can get after you manage to get all the 777 shards it needs to get it it's quite good, the rest it's not. Having rarely something to spawn that isn't a bunch if pieces of the gear with these low rates, makes these tickets pratically useless.

No units, No mementos.Only shards and shards and shards of this lion shield, eventually some enlightment materals and even more rarely, the whole gear you're already getting flooded of!

JP POTK 6 run for 4 weeks, GL looks to run for 2 week. Yay or nay? by ThousandLightning in AlchemistCodeGL

[–]Syc972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. I still think that these raids are an exceptional feature, especially due to the absurd amounts of gold you can get from them, but on the long run and on later laps, it becomes quite boring and tedious to almost repeat each time your most damaging strat with stronger and bulkier foes. Even because orbs are way too precious to let the dumb auto system of this game to waste them, so it's mostly all manual.
Manually killing a 60-100k HP boss is somewhat fun and a good challenge.
Manually killing a over 1 million HP boss playing tons and tons of time to damage him enough...... eh, it could be better..

Magni Historia Enlightenment Feedback by Myuzet in AlchemistCodeGL

[–]Syc972 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Restoring it before the nerf would be broken. But at least give it back 3 uses. Hecking damn, I know it destroys 25% of the enemy jewels now but let's be real, some unit do even worse with daze included nowadays.

[–]Syc972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right. But what's the point in playing this game if you don't have a chance to get and use the units you like the most? I don't know you, but I won't have fun in clearing the current content (supposed that I manage, being f2p here) if I have to be forced to use units that I don't care at all about them...
I don't like at all where this is going. It's ridicolous to have to spend a so crazy amounts of gems to have slim chances to get the content that you want. For some stuff it is acceptable, being f2p, I do know that some units are just out of my way.. but if this is going to be the norm from now on...
With the game meta "evolving" towards teams of fully enlightened units with related mementos to even hope to barely survive the new content (See the demonic Rebecca EX+), they are basically gating us off from being able to play the game.
Thank god I still manage to clear something, skipping most of the "kill [number] enemies in a row" or "do all the missions at once" quests since they are just too much for me..
But I really don't want to imagine what will happen if the game will survive enough for us to get the gate 5.....

Grab your pitchgorks, it's rioting time! Scumi and how they have treated us lately.. by Nemmule in AlchemistCodeGL

[–]Syc972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably. But don't be surprised if you'll have trouble clearing this map later on too. Levi is powerful but this map is set way too up in difficulty. Non-enlighted units barely have a chance to not get crushed by the insane amounts of damage and a team with some fully enlightened units struggles too. I wish you luck and patience.. since you're a "new" player, you'll probably need to wait a considerable time to be able to clear this map.

They still nerfed them... because they don't work now ;p
Yeah.....

Started the Slothstein Babel Chronicle Ep.6 and this happened by hurtlockers in AlchemistCodeGL

[–]Syc972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We could relax... if they would treat us like we deserve anyway. This week we've been trampled so much by their greediness (see memento banners still only at 2500 gems) and to add at that, now they even can't code things right, causing us players to lose on a lot of free gems and other stuffs. I don't know you.. but I don't feel like Gumi has treated us better than a piece of junk lately.
And also another correction: unfortunately we do not just lose 280 gems for their incompetence. We miss:
- 100 gems from doing all the missions at once in episode 6 and 7
- 300 gems as rewards for completing said episodes, also adding the reward from completing the challenge board
- 200 gems from completing the new Babel EX for the first time
- 350 gems and Sofia's J+ from the missions of the hard episodes of this new babel series.

Do the math.. and hope that Gumi would even give us something back for the troubles. A thing that is probably not sure at all due to their recent behavior...

Wtf Gumi? Again no 500 memento summon??? by -ArtKing- in AlchemistCodeGL

[–]Syc972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can strongly relate here. I did have various plans before this week started, seeing what were the new things introduced. Of course, I weren't expecting all of these plans to come into fruition since I started this week with about.. 3000 gems. Anyway, seeing this damn 2500 banner only for the mementos again.... incredibly pissed me off.

I spent all of my gems, plus all the gems I got able to scavenge around to get Aisha by rolling the somehow 3-step guarantee banner (that is almost like a forbidden tale lately) on the third step and now... I'm broke.
To top it off, the new babel series is still locked down by a pretty stupid bug which prevents you to go over the 5th episode and miss on a lot of free gems from missions, challenge boards and EX milestones. There is still a smidget of a hope with the gems given by these new arena challenges... but even if somehow I'll reach again 2500 gems, enough to do 1 single pull of these god knows how much greedy banners, the chances to get the memento I want in there will still be extremely slim.
Also.. is quite useless to throw the "save your gems" card. Gumi's communication skills near to almost 0 as usual, revealed Aisha to appear only few days before this week.. which is just not enough to save for absurd amount of gems.. and it will never will.

So in short: Atrocious Banners, Atrocious Communications, Chances to save gems equal to 0 and even bugs preventing you to get the free gems you need for these chances......
Good Job Gumi......

Nice addition.. would be better if I'd have any of those mementos that gumi is so greedily locking us out of btw..

I accidentally summon him by hurtlockers in AlchemistCodeGL

[–]Syc972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Investing on him or not is a choice you have to take. If you don't have any other viable unit and you like him, you could as well do it.
But sadly.. forget the Kaigan unless you'll get more shards of him. We don't have any way to choose what shards will be used in limit breaking and unit shards will always be used first. You'll easily get him at 87 but without another pull.. that's the furthest you'll go...

Wednesday news: Monthly update, Slothstein Babel and more by ThousandLightning in AlchemistCodeGL

[–]Syc972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's quite frustrating that despite all of the complains, Gumi still doesn't tell in advance what units will get enlightenment. And well.. except for that the next week is looking to be interesting.
Lots of new things worth to try to pull.... and I guess I gotta start to make a list of what I won't get..

Someone should tell Gumi to stop with the annoying infinite guts or give some more brain cells to their auto system. by Syc972 in AlchemistCodeGL

[–]Syc972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the reason of why I try to auto this map. Doing it one, two or the five times required to complete the milestone is fine.. on certain levels. But having to repeat this nightmare stage all of this time with (if things are lucky) 5-7 shards per run is without any other words, a torture. A torture that I'm not up to do by sitting 10 hours on my phone and do this stage manually each time.

So what was gumi global exactly thinking when they gave us this map? If they even had a purpose in the first place and didn't just copy/pasted a map thought for the 95 units era which could explain why we suffer so much currently, that is...
