I just want a new good unit. Instead I get a third Zidane on the 1/2 price.

Someone fund a macro fest for me so I can give you all the Noctis you deserve.

On a legitimate note, is anyone else having way more crashes after the update?

Could be. At the least it seems like there are varying rates for certain base 5 characters. I don't think anybody in that Reddit threat posted about getting a Noctis.

yeah given their history of screwing with rates it wouldn't be beyond them

but whatever i just wish the tm macros get fixed soon

Someone over on Reddit made a working TM-with-lapis-refill macro for Nox: http://pastebin.com/M4rLadU9

The Japanese version didn't quite hit the refill lapis button. The only issue I've had with this one is I woke up with my party in one of the XP vortex missions. Thankfully nothing really happened other than losing some farm time. Hopefully there will be a more bulletproof version up soon, but for now this has been working fine other than the one hiccup.

I may have missed it being posted in the thread, but they're doing a Chocobo-nanza.

Feeling generous, the Fat Chocobo decided to give gifts to anyone who visits his shop and purchases any item or equipment. Fat Chocobo shops can be found in the Lost Village of Marlo, Town of Kolts or Town of Amore.

• Event Period: 2/24/17 0:00 PST to 3/9/17 23:59 PST
• Eligibility: Open to all FFBE players who have created an account and played the game before 3/10 0:00 PST.

• How to Win
a. Players need to purchase any item/equipment from the Fat Chocobo Shop located in the Lost Village of Marlo, Town of Kolts or Town of Amore.
b. At the end of the event, all players who have purchased at least one item from any of the Fat Chocobo shops will receive the following:
- 200 lapis
- 60 energy

nice thanks waiting on a memu version

the existing one used 500 lapis overnight and was stuck at entering zoldaad town this morning, but tm was about 6% higher so figured it didn't waste any

but going to wait for a more stable one before doing unattended lapis refill again

Yeah, some of the buttons got moved to different spots. Depending on your emulator of choice there appears to be at least band-aid fixes on reddit.

I'm running fine on Nox with the GL/JP don't spent Lapis macro.

I had 350 Star Quartz and I thought about just getting the drat Moogle but I decided I'd grab the Man-Eater materia first. I almost bought the Lance immediately after but then thought that I had 13 Kains sitting in drydock so I might as well wait on that.

drat glad I did now.

I should probably attempt the Dreadnaught ELT fight again and hope it doesn't crash. My second Zidane is at 90% TM. Would be nice to cap that off immediately and start grinding out a Shine.

EDIT: Should be able to do it with this team

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

The only thing that makes that bad thread good is the top comment being a video disproving their stupid theory and their edit completely ignores said comment. That bastard got Noctis and two Zidanes on their free pull. :catstare:

People not understanding how odds work doesn't mean the system's rigged. Not that Gumi really deserves the benefit of the doubt either way after their past fuckups.

sakurafubuki, blade mastery, bracers, power of crestion, seal of destruction, brave suit, cowl, olive's tmr? there's probably a better build out there but that should get you some good damage goin

If someone has Olive they should be using her with her TM gun instead of Lightning. Especially if they have Butz and can grind out a doublehand TM as well.

The old macro thread on the reddit (can't pull up a link atm, it's something like Let's Talk About Macros) already got updated to take the new UI into account; I ran the speed refill one most of yesterday and didn't run into any issues.

Edit: VVVV yep that's the one, thank you!

Edit2: Okay, re-reading the thread it seems like he pulled down his updates while he fixes some problems with them; apparently the new macro will put you into the Vortex if it crashes while not in Earth Shrine and waste a ton of lapis, so disregard this.

i believe the argument was that they decrease the rates on certain units rather than outright exclude them

which is quite believable as something they'd manipulate given that ama with the former employee

This. It's pretty clear when you read that thread that DK Cecil and Ace appear more often than others. I'm not saying it's a full blown conspiracy, but :Gumi: pulled this poo poo before with the Zidane banner.

MP restore skills can be useful in a pinch. I wouldn't sweat it too much though. The reason people pick it up is because the other options aren't appealing (the last +40 ATK node doesn't actually increase your unit ATK because it doesn't let Odin hit another threshold; it's basically a trap node).
