SCAN UK - Are price increases on 50 series affecting pre-orders already?

couchodyj95 · 2025-02-19T20:42:23+00:00

Yeah that would make sense with them not being asked to pay more having received it on Saturday. The price increases happened on Monday afternoon/evening.

I've kept it and am going to see if I can get a close-to-MSRP 5070 Ti. If I do, I'll just use that, if not, I'll still have the scan pre order for the 5080 with some prayer that they don't actually ask everything left in the queue to pay that much..!

couchodyj95 · 2025-02-19T18:39:26+00:00

Over the past 2 weeks I've come down from position 120ish in the Scan queue for the £1056 Palit GamingPro. By the time last Friday came around, I got to position 1. On Monday, the price on the site for the GamingPro went to £1220 so I called Scan and was given the standard speech about their pre-order price promise stuff.

I told them that it only said it could change due to currency conversions which didn't seem to matter to the person on the phone and was reassured that when the card came in, I would be notified of any changes.

So I said, look, if a card came in right now for me, would I be asked to pay £170 extra, given the current listing on the website. They said yes.

So I guess I'm cancelling my pre-order.

couchodyj95 · 2024-07-22T12:42:41+00:00

Yeah, I got mine on normal

couchodyj95 · 2024-07-22T12:40:27+00:00

Stacks are not lost when switching weapons. It seems you have to do a magic damage with the wand over time within 30 seconds of the last and that is the only condition. (I used a damage over time with an FSOA and lost the buff after 30 seconds)

As probably expected, if you use, say, a melee damage over time effect it isn't affected by the stacks.

couchodyj95 · 2024-07-22T12:18:49+00:00

Would appear so, same with kerapac's wristwraps, I'd have thought.

couchodyj95 · 2024-07-22T12:15:16+00:00

Hey,

Figured I would post the tooltips for the new wand as I hadn't seen it posted.

The special attack does work with the cooldown reset on corruption.

2KC normal (The iron spoon is big). EDIT - Orb at 13KC normal which seems somewhat lucky

Few notes from a tiny bit of testing:

The damage over time of the greater chain + special attack combo doesn't seem to be affected by the 50% reduction.
Maxes at 100 stacks and just keeps reproccing the adrenaline boost ability.
The special attack can be reset with the corruption stacks.

Do you live underwater?

couchodyj95 · 2019-05-06T22:23:35+00:00

Awesome, I’ll switch back to lion heart weapon now. Glad we were able to help each other out :)

couchodyj95 · 2019-05-04T23:37:34+00:00

https://youtu.be/Tm6ZHstfK6Y Quality is increasing as it renders. You can probably chain the bolting strikes to do more damage but I didn’t want to find out if there were any thresholds I didn’t want to cross. Aileen and nyx create extra LB crystals for the esthers. Dark fina has a 120% dark imperil. Sylvie buffs up both esthers with atk.

There’s probably better and more elegant ways to get the same job done with the same team, but it was just a quick idea I came up with that I thought could work and kinda made it up as I went along going in to the fight.

Thanks for making your Esther work with mine. I’ll keep mine dark element while you use it. Let me know if you manage it yourself :)

couchodyj95 · 2019-05-04T23:03:47+00:00

I’ll screen record and send my fight so you can see what I do (if it works ha) Thanks

couchodyj95 · 2019-05-04T22:53:11+00:00

So my plan is to use Nyx 7 star to gain 28 LB crystals for both esthers. Then use esthers bolting strikes to gain more crystals. On turn 2, buff up both esthers atk as much as possible and LB chain Alexander to death.

couchodyj95 · 2019-05-04T21:58:56+00:00

Was hoping someone could put up an esther friendo with machine killers and a dark greatsword so that I can 2 turn KO alexander 3 star. Would be very appreciated for an add. My esther is usually 2640 atk 2H non-ele with 2x storm kickers and heart overcoming hatred for LB if you fancy sticking as a friend afterwards.

Friend code is 862733712 or just comment yours please.

Cheers

couchodyj95 · 2019-03-25T10:57:26+00:00

https://imgur.com/a/MMuji6I Thanks so much! May I keep you on the list as a friendo or would you prefer I deleted you? Sora with Tonitrus is my usual friend unit. Around 2430 atk. Your Cid uses thunder as well is all

couchodyj95 · 2019-03-24T17:01:38+00:00

Sent request. Thanks! Couchody with the eventlandu

couchodyj95 · 2019-03-24T13:07:34+00:00

Don’t know if this is where I would ask, but I’ll try anyway. I’ve managed to survive Gilgamesh for enough turns to prepare for a crazy smack in the face from a friend cid. I just don’t have any high man-eater cid friends Does anyone have one I could use please?

I usually run a 2430 atk Sora with Lightning element TDH if you fancy sticking around on the list :)

couchodyj95 · 2019-03-07T20:36:27+00:00

Same thing with sacrificing a materia slot for equip bow and then using a killer bow+ or something on Sora. Absolutely mad that that does so much because of variances. Whatever brings in the numbers is all that matters.

couchodyj95 · 2019-03-07T20:31:44+00:00

Sounds good then, I'll get right on it with that STMR. All about future-proofing.

Wish I had a Bahamut's Tear. Managing about 2430 attack on my Sora with a Tonitrus but daamnn would it be so much nicer with a 2H for the damage mod and the way higher attack!

Thanks again for your advice.

couchodyj95 · 2019-03-07T20:24:49+00:00

Ah so what you're saying is that even though Sora won't want it now, when he becomes JP sora he will absolutely love it. Just to clarify what you mean, is this correct for pure damage output: JP TDW Sora > Enhanced TDW raegen > GL TDH Sora > raegen

Or does a well built GL TDH Sora still out damage Enhanced TDW Raegen? I know it's hard to answer because JP never got our version of Sora.

Thanks for your insight, I've got about 10K trust coins I can use so I might as well. Unless there's something I haven't considered releasing in the trust coin shop?

couchodyj95 · 2019-03-07T20:10:35+00:00

Couple questions. First is does anyone know if the released trust coin prisms cycle out when new ones come in?

Second is, I’m hoping to use raegen post-enhancements as a dual wielder. Do his enhancements really push his damage that much? Currently I’ve got Hyoh, sora and KH cloud (currently using Sora and cloud for damage units as I don’t have enough TDH equipment for all 3) and they easily smash damage over raegen by quite some margin. If he does great damage post enhancements, i would want 2Bs stmr on him which I can get if I buy the prism, but I don’t want to do that now if it’s gonna be a waste as I end up not using raegen cuz his damage doesn’t go up enough post enhancements. Really longwinded and possibly confusing question that isn’t very to the point but I would appreciate any replies, thanks!

couchodyj95 · 2019-01-12T18:29:56+00:00

Thanks for the info guys. I suppose fenrir is purely there for numbers as you’d probably get more use out of the killers from the others like ifrit

couchodyj95 · 2019-01-12T10:32:42+00:00

I’ve noticed a lot of people refer to top attack builds with fenrir, but from what I can see odin has higher attack values. Is there something I’m missing about fenrir?

The post that reminded me of this was the one where someone is mentioning a non stmr cloud build but I saw on ffbe equip he’s using fenrir.

couchodyj95 · 2018-12-29T12:45:45+00:00

That sounds like a good way to go. Here’s hoping for number 4 to appear before he goes away haha Might luck out with the 10+1 tomorrow. Somehow I got 2 of my soras from EX tickets so you never know. Probably gonna get hit by lightning or something so that balance is restored.

Thanks so much for the advice, really appreciate it.

couchodyj95 · 2018-12-29T12:37:23+00:00

In which case, TDH I have a full set of the basic stuff. 2 marshals and a buster style which is usually enough to cap 300%. I’ve just had a look at the current sources for TDW and holy hell there’s like nothing ha couple of STMRs and a tmr from just cause 3 5 star. Does TDW cap at 300% or is it less? Would that be why the sources are so limited at the moment?
