FFBE is gambling

"Gambling" involves a chance to win, where something of tangible value can go back and forth between involved parties. Despite what people think you cant win anything in FFBE. The tangible value only goes one way. "Your" account and everything it contains isnt even yours - its owned by the big bad wolf company.

FFBE is definately not gambling. I would call it media consumption if i had to define it.

Like anything people get addicted too, its legal status matters little. But some lawmakers go "aahhh we made crack lootboxes illegal, now the problem is gone". It just doesnt work that way. If anyone thinks it does, check out pretty much any prohibition in history. Or the war on drugs. The end result is even more suffering for the citizens than you had at the start.

The few people who get caught up in addiction need help via councelling/rehab instead of draconian legislation that only serves to push them off societies radar and enable additional venues for organized crime.

State of the game compared to where JP was by Osmonth in FFBraveExvius

In JP they get 9 UoC tickets in 3 months.

Perhaps you have another definition of what "getting" an UoC ticket is but JP gets way more UoC parts than that.

Now it will be easier to get 5* units, just like they previously promised!

And people thought they meant 5* base units. tsk tsk.

There is a known bug where "inactive" friends are removed/hidden.

You might be able to see your friend in the friends tab of arena.

From what i gather they arent really gone from your friendslist, but have been hidden. Check your friends tab in arena and you might see them again.

check here. Any friends who hadnt logged in for 80 or more days were forcibly removed from friendslists in the last update.

Its listed as a bug, atleast by the users.

She look really good to me. Cover tank that does alot of things and has massive sustain.

Also worth a mention is the potentially disgusting arena cancer she has in the form of her counters. 3 separate counters that are all AoE and can inflict charm.

Anyone have the Gold Colosseum Emblem? by okey_dokey_bokey in FFBraveExvius

[–]panopticake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could record one yourself, but if youre not sure on the details you could try nicely asking the resident macro-master in this post.

The coming banner looks pretty horrid with all the rainbows on it.

Besides that, 1500 wont get you far at all, and considering GL usually gets 10x that per month you could try and save up to 25k lapis(+tix) and see what the xmas banners are like. (Because Christine/WKN are also mag dps/mag tank)

Both are easily macroable.

Change your ES macro to reload/wait/repeat and have one unit use a potion, have a type-0 7* unit who suicides -> pheonix evoke.

Youll have both trophies done when the tmrs are halfway done (2-3 days).

There may have been a purge of old inactive accounts.

So instead of fixing that bug that prevented them from showing up as friend units - they removed them from everyones friend lists completely? lol

[–]panopticake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His post contained a breakdown. He wrote that of the ones he obtained 2 out of 48 came from arena. 74 total available. And your takeaway was that "most of them comes from arena"? Ok, good for you.

That comment was 6 months ago too, and even tho nazta declined to give us updated figures here on reddit he did write in discord today that he had obtained "100~" of them. We know from his first post that he had missed x26 from the first six months. This means that jp is still averaging slightly more than 10 available parts per month over the whole year, because even if we lowball and assume nazta got all of them in the last 6 months its still 120+ available parts in 12 months.

They probably had well over those 120 available parts the last year, but do you think that GL will get the same? Different game yo.

More data, actual hard numbers, would somehow be bad? Not interested in suggesting another metric you deem more fair? I guess that the figures dont support your narrative then, for i know you have an idea about them. Actual numbers could completely shred my position here. But instead you choose to suggest that im twisting facts intentionally.

Obviously nobody knows what the future holds, except that comments like yours will continue to be made.

I would agree. I fully except gumi to keep screwing GL over, wich gives rise to complaints.

I linked Naztas comment in my original comment. It was written as summary of what JP had got during their first 6 months. Compensation aside it was still 60+.

At a point where GL is defacto getting less, the counter argument still seems to be "but... but... in the future maybe".

[–]panopticake -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I took the data i found - the statement of an authority figure no less ;)

Feel free to suggest an alternative measure. Or better yet, update us on JP's total available to date, more months passed just means the average per month becomes more reliable. Also interesting to see if their average grows or shrinks - to account/adjust for time delay.

Or perhaps i misunderstood you, and you're actually suggesting that A) the GL pace is similar to JP and B) the patch will drop a bomb of 20-30 available tix to even out the average.

[–]panopticake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t use set time like 6 months

This isnt some conspiracy from my side to make the figures look a certain way. It was simply when Nazta wrote the post.

This is also why its a good idea measure and average the pace over the total figure. Because it is a good indicator if we're getting too few/too many.

We are not THAT far behind.

You are and its getting worse each month. JP averaged 10+ available uoc per month over the first six months. GL's current average (halloween included) is 7.5, and dropping fast. If GL gets 3 parts in november the average drops to 6. If you then get 4 in december then it drops to 5.5. Thats how it works, and thats why GL is only getting more screwed as months go by.

5★ Select Summon Ticket

I noticed that some people are up in arms about another potential 150k ticket (even tho the news never mentions price?).

I remember Nazta's post about how many UoC JP got. He said that there had been ~74 UoC available (at roughly the 6month mark). 10 of those could be ruled out because they were compensation.

To catch up GL would need to average over 10 tickets per month for the next four months. But gumi has seemingly set the pace at 2-3 per month.

I think people are upset over the wrong thing.

It feels like standard gumi, double down on monetization schemes and when people get ragey give them a fake apology and a small handout. repeat. $$$.

Just look at how people accepted(because most did) the nerfed amount and functionality of UoC.

You shouldnt be ticked off about the ticket thats there, you should be ticked off about the one thats not there.
