Facebook is never going to purge inactive accounts. No sane company ever does that because it ensures those inactive users will have a drastically lower chance of ever coming back because how many people want to return to a platform that just nuked all their stuff?

It's also why games (especially MMOs) don't delete inactive accounts after X months. Better to keep your info on file and send you offers to try and entice you to come back to the game. :eng101:

I'm pretty sure PSO2 deletes inactive accounts, or it used to, even if they had premium cash currency on them. But that's just a small drop in the hat for why that game is bad.

I don't think that ever get enforced. As an active PSO2 player, I've not heard of any instances where someone lost thier account to inactivity.

So what you're saying is my account might still be there? Everyone told me it would be gone!

Well back to willingly never playing PSO2 again.

Anyway, a few days ago a couple of people tossed around the idea that Leon's TM might be made stackable. Did anything come from that or was that just someone's dad who worked at nintendo?

They might have something in their TOS that stipulates they might delete accounts after X months of inactivity but lots of MMOs have that wording as a cover-their-rear end thing, not because they actually do it. Storage costs for character data is trivial and if you can't afford to store inactive character/account data your game's already dead. The last time I played PSO2 was for maybe 30 minutes and I hadn't been logged in for over a year before that.

You immediately put her on your TM farming group along with Bartz. Her gun stacks with her innate which then also stacks with Bartz to send your ATK over 9000 1000. Then the usual suspects for gear, Black Cowel, bracers, brave suit or black belt gi, then your best ATK +% materia to go alongside Bartz's Doublehand. Welcome to the BOOM club.

I love seeing more and more teams in Arena just rolling out 5 DC and DW groups. That makes pretty much everything one round with the AI. Even if it kills 2 of your guys the other 3 will wipe them out. Seems better for everyone since with the spreads in the ranking tiers there's no incentive to care how your team does with the AI. That being said we're due for another no dual cast week, so back to the slogs.

I want the following weeks added to arena:

No miss(all attacks are 100% accurate)
Single attack(all attacks only go off once)
No cap/half cap(all attacks hit for uncapped damage or max at 499)

Edit: Magic miss(all magic attacks can miss with dodge, but status immunities are void)

i am like 2% away from finishing my dual wield and i've been sorta bummed i dont have anyone better to put it on than firion or chiz and i was like "oh poo poo maybe a noctis!" so this was a HUGE letdown compared to having a serious dps to put it on, but on the other hand

Cry Havoc posted:

yeah, i had a bunch of magic pots sitting around with nothing to use them on so here we go!

edit: another dumb reason this bums me out is that since it took me so long to get my second ever 5* i feel like i "wasted" it before some good banners, which, i know that's not how odds work but you know the brain of rabidsquid is perhaps a bit dumb

I wouldn't lose heart too much, man. He's a pretty drat solid unit. Who's your other 5*?

Besides I think I gotta give you a high five because we both drew 5* today! And I dunno if Olive is better than Ramza but I'd bet this whole enhancement thing is gonna happen sooner for him than her. Solidarity!

Ramza's currently a solid but not amazing unit and enhancements turn him in to an amazing support unit in addition to the Brave Suit being amazing.

Also some of us have played since the start and still have no 5 star bases so you'll get no sympathy from me you ingrates. :colbert:

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
Jesus h christmas. Well over 100 pulls on olives banner alone and nary a rainbow crystal to be seen. I've got to be getting close to 200 pulls since my last rainbow. Man that's some depressing garbage. 50 bucks should at least net me loving something drat.

Anyway I'm assuming the cheerleader and light speed jab materias are unit exclusive as well right? Like one of them will prob only work on queen and the other on maybe nine? I tried checking around but all I could find was that they are global exclusive, but it would be beyond awesome if I could slap cheerleader on noctis. Anyone have an idea what the deal is there? Sorry if this was answered already up thread it just got kinda depressing hearing everyone else snatching up base 5 dudes while I go broke over stupid pixels

Remember to get your dreadnought clears if you procrastinated like I did. Noctis is also really nice for that fight and blinding the soldiers after you take out the bombs. Triple Exdeath wasn't too bad for the fight. Imperil the boss, and then stack up 6 -aga spells along with a flask from Noctis while Cecil and Refia provided support.

Not that he boss didn't kill people multiple times. From full HP. Even with defense buffs up. :argh:

Today was my luckiest FFBE day so far. I was planning on spending about 10 tickets on the current banner before it went away and managed Olive on pull #2. What the gently caress. I'm leveling her now and I'll be able to get her TMR when the arena moogles come out. I should be good for about 1080 ATK after that.

I cleared a bunch of inactives. IGN: okeydoke - 411 249 974

edit: Took me about 200 days/400 pulls to get my first rainbow which was from the free 10+1. It was Emperor and I was little disappointed. I guess when it rains, it pours.

everyone talked about how hard the fight was so i put it off until the other day but just taking a team of ling/refia/cecil/luka/exdeath and i was in no danger of ever losing the fight at all. refia ended up dying since once round the captain hit her with every single attack and cecil just watched her die, but having an aoe revive and also a noctis friend meant that there was no condition i could have lost that fight in

Why take Refia and Luka? I feel like if you just shoved another caster in for Refia you could've gotten the no-white magic achievement.

i wanted to make absolutely sure i had enough healing, three 5k health healers was in fact enough. i probably could have gotten the tm without refia but refia is also my best healer and i didnt want to mess around with possibly losing.

i guess i could try and get it without refia by bringing another mage

Also, 15% hp isn't that good since 10%'s come from friend points and event materia is usually as good anyway. To me this 15% hp wasn't really worth the hassle.

I did it with Ling/Exdeath/Ace/Cecil/Noctis/Tilith, so you can definitely do it using Luka.

Only TMs were DC on Ace and Excalibur on Noctis which did absolutely nothing.

You only get 1500 white phantoma for burning through the missions the first time. Without bonus units you only get about 200 per run. At least ELT is stupid easy and the sword only costs 10k.

EDIT: So I have a question about Firion. Is he really that good? I have one on my friends list, high 700's in damage and I bring it to ELT and it's barely doing 24k per hit with fin briar. Despite having the highest attack stat, he's doing the lowest damage in my party, what's going on?

Is he hitting his killer abilities? That's another big part of his damage.

Also the ELT boss isn't as much of a pushover as the previous Type 0 event so don't get too complacent.
The bonus enemy just can't be beat, don't even try. Just try to get the Steal off and defend the rest of the turns.
