Siegfried's attack buff will stop debuffing his defense and instead buff his defense. That's pretty big. The catch is that, like birdman, this change doesn't kick in until level 100, so it takes a small eternity to get him to that point.

Does surprise ticket rule out legend fest at the end of the month, I've got a boatload of crystals to offload at this point

It looks like from this point on the surprise ticket works from a separate pool independent of any other promotions. As far as I can tell the pool includes all normal characters and only leaves out limited characters like the seasonal versions.

The fire boost is apparently running through May 31st, so probably not. That doesn't rule out the possibility of legfest immediately following it though, we dunno

9 people made it in.

MVP was Tsurupettan at 14,240,610 damage with Vice MVP grrarg at 8,458,934 damage

Trying to remember who else made it in, but pretty sure it was:
Souplesse, Touch mE, Stasiscore, レフト, ALTEFFOUR, ティーカップ (ofc)

and one more!

Don't lose your head over it.
We need to do that every day for the rest of the event. It was a lot easier than I expected. It will be even faster/easier if Souplesse is there from the start.

My many CoX, always poised, always ready, always willing to thrust.

I was the mvp because the boss was a literal babby who let yoda use his ougi 5 times.

Also hey does anyone know why SSR Rosetta's shield thing will randomly toggle off (with no bonus effect) from time to time despite having more than enough charge bar?

We can if you guys like! All it takes is 10 of those bait chunks (and 50 AP). Bait this time was provided by:
Tsurupettan: 4 chunks
ティーカップ: 3 chunks
ALTEFFOUR: 2 chunks <-- extra thanks for the one who started this whole thing going
レフト: 1 chunk

Grrarg was the sound I made when the fucker died literally as I was reaching for the attack button that would've fired off Yoda and given me second place.

The fire boost is ending tonight. Every day through May 31st is a different boost for elements in order to help people vaguely aim their Star Draw tickets at the element of their choice.

It turns off if she isn't hit for 2 rounds.

She needs to get hit at least once every two turns, or else it just turns off. Worst part about playing her.

Screwball should be looking into doing nightmare as well, probably one or two hours before the evening strike time if you can make it. (We also have 3 spots open for players, once unite and fight ends anyway.)

Screwballers please show up in the discord channel (linked in the OP) to coordinate when to start the fight and to communicate during the fight if needed. Evening strike time is 11 p.m. EST, so maybe show up around 9 p.m. EST, roughly. We probably aren't going to wait to do it during strike time or anything. Or if you don't want to pop into the channel for some reason, just look for the event boss as a crew raid you can join during those times.

I'll be the Souplesse there tossing dark fencer debuffs and probably dying pretty quick.

drat, tried to use their new web client to buy mobacoin with my credit card and kept failing due to some 3D error. Doing some research I'm guessing there's not much for me to do about it, guess there's no whaling for me.

Whoa! You're gonna be a legend!
Is there a write-up or guide somewhere of how best to actually give them money to get Mobacoins? I would like to take advantage of the surprise ticket while it's still around but I have no real idea how even to start. I've been running it on the web and on my iPhone.

I play through the chrome client, so what I had to do was run the game on bluestacks, install it through QooApp and pay with my googleplay account. Worked fine like that. US googleplay accounts can pay without any problem, not sure about itunes but they should be alright too. I'd try to run it through checkout before adding any credit to your account first just to be on the safe side.

Click on the surprise ticket, draw, or whatever other offer they have going. You'll be taken to the mobacoin page to add more to your account if you have an insufficient amount (like zero), and from there you can click your desired package and it will prompt you for a payment method. Again, try to get to that point before you add any money to googleplay/itunes just to be on the safe side.

OP is updated. Also updated with the fact that it appears that the Discord server is really active!


Also, important note! If you're going to be inactive for more than week, likely you'll get pruned from So Awful in favor of more active people. This won't happen until after Guild Wars ends and likely the cutoff will be around 8-9 days.

I would not mind taking you both in when GW ends, though if that friend/you are willing to use the discord that would be a major plus.

I'm sure Blhue will have a more in-depth procedure, but what I've done is buy and redeem japanese iTunes cards via https://www.apartment507.com to purchase GranBlue coins. I have to stay on my japanese iTunes account on my phone in order to use the cards via the game. Apartment507 takes hours to process your order and give you a code, even as long as 12+ hours. Keep that in mind if a promo is about to end.

I know you mentioned Mobacoins, but I'm unfamiliar with that. (because when I sign on my japanese iTunes account, only GranBlue coins are available, but Mobacoins are available on my US account for some reason)

My method involves buying mobacoins cards off of playasia, and they send me the serial basically instantly. Looks like they carry japanese itunes cards too, consider trying that instead next time.

Hell, I probably will next time too, since that will wind up being slightly cheaper, and probably less complicated
