Yea. I think since I'm still new, I can see this, but others just aren't cognizant, cuz like that poster stated, they get "EXTREMELY JEALOUS" when they see someone else's character who might have spent thousands on this phone game. If TMs did something you needed, I'd maybe get it? But you don't need them as stated over and over. At least I'm aware of this new nefarious trend in gaming and can hopefully never get into a game enough where I'm "EXTREMELY JEALOUS" over this or that. I guess some of my angst over all of this is because Final Fantasy is my favorite franchise of all time. But as another friend who I've been discussing this with has pointed out, Pokemon even does this now with Pokemon GO; spending tons of money definitely helps you be the best like no one ever was. I guess this is just another "mah childhood" moments for me similar to friends I have that are Star Wars fans being super sad about the lovely new Disney movies. Fenrir posted:What the...

KataraniSword posted:No other game I know of has emulator grinding macros as a F2P optimization technique. Trust Masteries are a really dumb and bad system. I was reluctant because emulator macros are usually a one-way ticket to being banned, but it seems to be an accepted thing here as long as you only grind TM and only do it for no more than about 8-9 hours a day max so you can plausibly claim you were playing, so whatever. edit: yay, just checked and my newly set up macro grinded out about 7% TM this weekend. So yeah, roughly 3 weeks per group seems to be the going rate. Rigel fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Jan 9, 2017 |

FFRK's resources actually really annoy me, because it's 50 mythril pulls or bust. Here, I can have my 10000 Lapis set aside for a future banner, while still daily pulling and using summon tickets. It gives a comfortable trickle of new characters and occasional big surprises, whereas FFRK to me just feels like "go big or go home".

I probably would have spent money on this game (outside of the Early Bird Bundle at the end of beta which I did buy) had they ever given me an option with a reasonably valuable bundle...like, say, bringing back the Early Bird Bundle from beta. But as it stands, I just truck along using my lapis for TM farming and tickets for pulling with on choice banners.

If you're going to TM farm, probably not since we're currently in a lull where you have plenty of time to do so. If not, then probably, since Bracer is a good accessory to have.

So.... I had 7,000 lapis lying around. It wasn't all free, I bought some during christmas but free lapis piled on top of it, and tonight I figured I'd do an 11-summon again. Nothing will come of it, we just saw some fool today waste hundreds of dollars chasing after this stupi... rainbow? No.... oh gently caress me, I don't even need her, I have good mages. Please don't be dark Fina, there's lots of other poo poo this rainbow crystal could be, even disappointing crap. lol, yep there she is, God dammit, now what? I don't even know what her TM is, all I know is that she's not much different from exdeath. edit: the rest of that 11 summons was a kefka and some garbage. edit2: ok. her TM doesn't look great, so probably not a game changer.

Her TM is amazing and is effectively a 50% magic TM. You should Prioritize it. Its the best mage TM in the game outside of dual Cast.

Cartoon Man posted:I probably won't even whale for Orlandu When he finally arrives he will have such lovely rates the outcry will be phenomenal and probably lead to the gacha change (while being totally planned for). You have to be prepared to dump 200 pulls AT LEAST to even have the slightest chance to even start thinking about ever owning him. A realistic target is more like 500-600 pulls that you should prepare in order to have a decent chance. You probably will see a couple of Rainbows but they wont be Orlandu. That, you also have to be prepared for.

I checked out the unit rankings wiki and in my initial roll i got the aforementioned chizuru plus refia, elle, sazh and general leo so that seems pretty decent feel like leo should be the most OP draw tbh i also drew edge and shadow from story tickets who were like my faves as a dumb kid and its too bad they are merely 3 stars and apparently shadow sucks

So for anyone else who uses the Nox macros to farm earth shrine, is there any way to make it shorter? It's only supposed to take like 38 seconds or something but for me it seems to be misaligned or something because it'll attack one enemy, then there's like five minutes of nothing until it hits the auto button. It's fine if I'm just letting it idle all afternoon or something, but it gets really annoying really fast if I want to do something else.

Delete the macro and try recreating it again. Also, are you sure you have the screen resolution set correctly? If nothing else works, try MEMU instead.

I don't mind dropping the occasional five bucks or so on a game as a reward for having good free to play pulls. daily pull and 7 tickets, all blue crystals. I'm not even close to a rainbow crystal, I estimate a little over 59,000 pulls until I get another one, so the five bucks goes back in my pocket  The units I got don't suck(first Xiao in that bunch), but the odds are not encouraging.

To be fair, the best use for purchased lapis by far is TM grinding. You can turn 3* and 4* bases (which are relatively easy to get f2p) into really great units. Then paired with a whale friend unit, you can steamroll most content. I was completely f2p until the Christmas bundle (which I got with google play gift cards, so I'm not sure if I can still call myself f2p... but I haven't spent any actual money.. so I don't know) I used all that lapis to grind out TMs and now I have a really awesome Gilgamesh (who was my first 5* base character ever after playing for 6 months). tl;dr - You can play and enjoy this game, and get your fill of nostalgia without paying any money, and be able to beat all of the current content, without any TMs or 5* base units.

When you running it it looks like the game is clicking on 3 spots in a rapid manner over and over again. You need to set the macro to repeat till you manually turn it off and thats it.

You need to make sure your units in slot 1 and 3 are your fastest attackers and are strong enough to kill the mobs on their own. (Minimum 80-100 ATK as a rough guideline) Because only units 1 and 3 are being clicked. (that's top left and bottom left) If something goes wrong there is a failover auto push every couple of minutes. Which for you is being triggered because something is wrong with your setup.

Captaindirtnap posted:Wow. I don't have the time, lapis or patience to do arena beyond the 90k line, but is it even possible to survive going second against that kind of team? The damage limit per spell/attack is 999. A dualcast or dual wielded attack can do 999 twice. Chains can exceed the 999 limit too. That said, the computer AI never uses dualcast, but will use dual wield since that is automatic anyway. Now looking at his screenshot, it seems that his team took on the typical amount of damage that the AI would dish out in an opening round with that team. Be glad that flasks are neutered this week...
