Okay, I was using "rainbow" with the more recent "base 5 unit" definition. I got a Vaan and a Locke prior to that. :confuoot:

Well, that is one way to figure out the summon rates for certain units I guess. I wonder if they took CC numbers and what not or just the source code for this and Brave Frontier and their other games?

The CC numbers shouldn't be linked to Gumi's databases unless you bought something outside of the games, afaik. All of those are managed through Google Play and/or the iOS App Store.

Good point! I was a bit worried for a moment that this would be even worse for the company if they had accidentally let user information like that get stolen too. I'm actually interested in seeing how this will pan out due to the deadline that was set.

for this game at least unless gumi really is hiding something sinister in the draw rates i dont think this will really impact the player base in any meaningful way. their greed is otherwise relegated to visible outward actions we can already be grumpy about

There's no reason for the decompiled source code to be on the same servers as their website. Odds are that the hackers have nothing.

Relatively high, when comparing code repositories to websites. The FBI's website gets DDOS'd semi-regularly but that doesn't mean hackers get into their internal servers.

Ramza's better than Lightning simply because of his TM so pulling multiples of him is good, unlike Lightning.

And that's before getting in to the "Ramza is support god if/when he gets enhancements" thing. I'd happily trade one (or both) of my Queens for Ramza.

But not my Fryevias. I'm perfectly ok with having two Fryevias. :getin:

Except Brave Suit is actually vastly powercreeped by Heavy Armor materia-reqs, and as such is actually only good on a very few people. Noctis and Queen are the only ones that come to mind.

And one Ramza is good... eventually™. Three ramzas, though? absolute waste.

It'd be nice if we got more +ATK hevay armor though.

Anyway, JP crew how close are we to Cloud?

EDIT: I got 5k lapis too, also spent it in case it was a gently caress up due to the hacking. Got prishe and freyvia. I swear to god Gumi if you roll this back I will hunt you down and eat you.

I've spent some money on the game and was able to get the lapis after closing and reopening the app. They'd been having issues with free summons popping up at random times a while back so maybe this is something like that?

Weird, I was TM grinding until I stopped it a few hours ago. Haven't logged on since, no 5k lapis for me. I've spent money on the game, so it's not that.

Oh well. Doubt we'll be compensated for this one, heh!

Edit: maybe it appeared in Nox? Will check when I'm home.

I'm curious to know when anyone has ever seen a mobile game (or MMO) do a rollback when that game wasn't still in testing or had the server straight-up catch fire and force them to use a backup.

Rollbacks in a live game are a massive, massive, do-not-do-this-unless-all-is-lost kind of thing. Letting some people keep 5k lapis is significantly less of a problem than a rollback.

Buuuuuut this is Gumi, so who the gently caress knows. If anything they'd just run a script to remove the 5k lapis from people who claimed it. Or that's what would happen if it were my call and higher-ups were forcing me to take action. :shrug:
