Schwartzcough posted:Yeah, I'd hold off on Full Break until you've beefed your 3* and 4* abilities up a bit. You really want a good selection of ~R3 4* abilities before you start worrying much about 5* stuff. Also, you will never use Blade Bash or Salve or Fire, and if you've already beaten Hein from the FF3 storyline dungeons you won't use Aim (you probably won't use it even then). Be brutal with low-rank abilities. Is there a good beginner's guide on what to focus on for abilities/magic? I know the big ones like Protectga/Shellga (which are still out of reach until I can earn Greater orbs) and the break commands as well as the -ajas/Spellblades but what else?

Yeah the enemies on the ++ Mondailies seem way more threatening than yesterday's. I think the ++ Sundaily is considerably easier than the + level. Finally got Ramza's RM2 to drop.  Now Shadow and Lulu are the only characters I have double-broken but without all their RMs.

A few hours until the Vincent event starts. The last VII event had Bahamut SIN, and from the sounds of it, Rufus/Dark Nation is gonna be another bitch and a half. Also, it's the start of the new event format, so figuring out stamina usage for the event and gysahl green dailies shall be a bit of a challenge. Looking forward to it.

Using EDT, there will be essentially all of Monday through Wednesday plus Thursday until 9pm to tackle Vincent's event. With the reduced number of dungeons that's more than enough, for me anyways, and I can still run Wind/Lightning a bit as well.

JP news: Multiplayer: Only the host's stamina is depleted, only the host has to pay gems/mythril to phoenix revive, everyone gets a reward if you win, with the host getting an additional reward. Everyone brings two characters, one front row and one back row. The leader can kick players. Each "room" has a number which can be given to your friends to ensure you all get to party together. If anyone disconnects during the fight, the fight ends (unknown whether it refunds the leader's stamina/gems/mythril yet; potential troll point and reason to only do MP with friends). There's server info for "Trial of the Dark Dragon" (FF11) and "Trial of Denn the Orcatoothed" (FF14), presumably the first two MP bosses. The "Hyper Evolve" found in the data before is indeed for equipment. Still not entirely sure what it is yet, but it may be linked to increasing the damage cap from 9,999 to 99,999; code was found after today's maintenance in Japan for such. The Golden Week Colosseum super boss event starts on 4/28, with a new boss opening every 3 days thereafter until 5/7 (or maybe 5/10, 5/7 has two entries which might be a mistake).

We got the good version of Vincent. Support 4, doesn't die to a stiff breeze. Having the +/++/+++ fights available out of the gate is pretty nice. Something to look forward to after clearing dailies tomorrow.

Glad that Vincent's level 65 RM is just a clone of one Irvine got a long time ago. I don't have to beeline to level him up like I did Relm.

Dollar Draw got me nothing, but Ace Pilot dropped Now I can do my RM grinding in IV with Pecil and Relm. I know I can technically wait for double greens to be over to do the event, but I want a nice Stamina safety net for Rufus. At least unlike Chardanook I actually have synergy, but all I've heard about Rufus has me worried going in with no wall. I'll probably be training up Penelo to be a healer/dancer for now. Still think Breakdance is a better name. Twelve by Pies posted:Dollar pull on Vincent's banner got me...a Diamond Sword. For XII. I don't even have the XII levels unlocked yet. The next event is XII so you'll probably get some use out if it, even as a 4*.

Do we know why they got rid of the non challenge event types? I really liked the "random path of boss monsters, gives you an amount of currency at the end" survival events and the collection events.

Lack of interest in the case of survival, and the collection events have been reserved for collab events, which we have exclusively not gotten a single one of. I guess you could call the Gysahl Exchange a form of permanent Collection Event, though.

100 gems got me a screen shake! Oh, it's a gold armlet, probably the weakest bracer I've seen in the game. I have a knack for pulling the worst featured item with my 100 gem pulls. Oh well, it's only my second 5* bracer, and it'll be good for FFVII content at least, so yay! Also, I am irrationally pleased to finally, finally turn this quicksilver gun from a million years ago into a 3*++ item.

Looking through my box basically has had me conclude one thing: - I am completely and utterly screwed once the next FF4 event arrives. At least I have Celes to Runic Blade away the Stop counters? EDIT: For reference, I am referring to how bad my FF4 weapon synergy is; I have 1 5* (PCecil's SSB weapon) and a 4*++ dagger, and that's it. The 3*++ weapons even with RS are so bad that I have regular 5*s that have higher attack than them now. And of course that event has one of the nastiest Ultimate+ fights in the game, just to make it worse. the Orb of Zot fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Apr 19, 2016 |

Shoenin posted:What makes that Ultimate + so bad anyway AOE slow, AOE sleep on a boss that almost never uses physical attacks, stopping his extremely brutal RES-ignoring tsunami from firing off is very difficult (you get 1 turn to stop him and have to hit him with 3 separate lightning abilities/SBs, multiple hit SBs only count for 1 of those 3 hits), counter Stop (single target), extremely durable (350k HP)... His only mercies are he's basically nothing but magic damage and that he has exploitable elemental weaknesses (Ice normally, lightning when charging tsunami). And it doesn't help that in contrast to the three or so events before and after it the banners in that event are absolute garbage. It's the first Ultimate+ that actually lives up to the name, at any rate. EDIT: For reference, my basic plans that will probably crash and burn for that are as follows Agrias (Thundara Strike/Saint Cross) (SSB available) Celes (Blizzara Strike/Thundara Strike) (Runic Blade) Tyro (Full Break/Magic Breakdown) (Sentinel's Grimoire) Quistis (Blizzaja/Thundaja) (Mighty Guard VIII) Y'sholta (Curaja/?) (SSII, Medica II) Thank god he's only 1 stamina to attempt! EDIT 2: Also worth noting is that when he's NOT charging Tsunami he's immune to lightning and when he is he's immune to ice. the Orb of Zot fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Apr 19, 2016 |

Nice that they moved the +/++/+++ at the start of the event, and reduced some of the lower level clutter. While they're important for newer players, I was getting real tired of anything below diff 99. It's nice that older players have something interesting to do when the event starts.
