Is anyone else hearing something that sounds like a door slamming at random times during battles? Just started happening for me today.

Aren't the basically legally unable to nerf things because of the gatcha system, or is that just a weird rumor that I keep hearing.

It is, however, an extremely bad look. Things get nerfed all the times in games like this. Nerfing things just pisses people off a ton, which is why you usually see other things buffed before nerfs go out The thing that is illegal is needing to get a set of gacha pulls to then earn a bonus or special thing. Like if you pull every cloud relic you get mega cloud who is way better and murders everyone. That practice, which is essentially hiding things behind a gacha paywell, is illegal.

There's never actually been a nerf in this game so far, has there?

Prism posted:Bugged how? Just curious; that was before my time. If I'm thinking of the right battle, his AI was supposed to set all his actual attacks other then the basic Attack to only start his the third turn, but they missed his AoE Monk Kick, meaning he had a 90% or so chance to use it, decimating teams before buffs could go up. I used Mako Might on Ramza's Tailwind (40% HP + Protectga) just to survive the opening.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:There's never actually been a nerf in this game so far, has there? The only one I'm aware of was that originally Yuna's BSB1's attack command was actuall White Magic rather than NAT, and was changed because supposedly you could stack RMs and the like in some fashion to make it way powerful for the time. Dunno how true that is though. Fister Roboto posted:Is anyone else hearing something that sounds like a door slamming at random times during battles? Just started happening for me today. It's a bug in JP as well, far as I've been able to figure sometimes it just gets stuck making the initial activation sound for your Magicite every time you do an action, but it only gets to the door slam and not the "sheeen" sound when it actually goes off.

These renewal dungeons gave me the earth resist accessory I needed for golem. I switched out Gordon SSB for Lenna USB since he wasn't doing much and I was able to master it really easily. I'm sorry for doubting you Lenna.

After spending most of the weeks stamina (minus EXP days) on actually opening the nightmare bosses, I'm finally down to just omega weapon. And I would've gotten him first try, but he KO'd Cloud phase 3 as he was charging the winning OSB. Edit: and done.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Aren't the basically legally unable to nerf things because of the gatcha system, or is that just a weird rumor that I keep hearing. It's something like that. Basically the idea is relics don't get changed because people who spent money pulling will feel as if they got cheated or didn't get what was advertised. Or so the idea goes. There's two specific examples of how this has actually influenced relics I recall. First the generic 5* Soldier Breastplate. Back when it was first released relics were showcased at base un-upgraded stats, for whatever reason. The Soldier Breastplate was accidentally thrown up showcasing it's fully upgraded stats (but still showing 1/20). People got the thing, noticed its stats were far from what was shown and complained. So DeNA buffed the gear to where its stats were as advertised even thought it was a mistake. This made the Soldier Breastplate have stupidly incredibly high stats compared to any other item as a result. Second is Yuffie's Crystal Cross, featuring her SSB The Gauntlet. It was accidentally released where The Gauntlet only took 10k EXP to master like old Uniques instead of the standard 30k for SSB and beyond. Rather than fix it and make a bunch of people complain about something stupid, they just left it as is. This came over the same way in global, so it's the only SSB that has Ninja Learning Speed in the game.

Also, a lot of the really, really old events were absurdly stingy with mythril rewards. It wasn't until about the time we got boss rushes, I don't think, that we got a mythril every stage - so the Tidus event, which was 5th or 6th out the door.. (I could be wrong, though, there.)

Nowadays we're spoiled for choice (I have five healing BSBs by now), but in the earlier days of FFRK (even a year or so ago, when I joined) we didn't have nearly that same breadth of tools. Stacking buffs, several different ways to blunt damage, backlash damage from Radiant Shield, EX modes from USBs...all comparitively new.

KataraniSword posted:Mind, that's assuming they give us all the old events - they probably won't. Yeah, my guess would be we get two, maybe three events per realm. Even still that's a hefty hunk of bonus Mythril, especially for someone like me who bailed after a month or two and came back just before G5.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Aren't the basically legally unable to nerf things because of the gatcha system, or is that just a weird rumor that I keep hearing. If you're referring to my post, I meant the abilities themselves (maybe back to what they are today). I don't think they can nerf actual relics or their effects, but abilities aren't really gacha based. Considering how strong the ninja abilities are now, they're pretty ridiculous in the future. I'm not predicting a nerf, but I wouldn't be shocked. Since you don't even really need relics to use those abilities to crush content (though it helps), it's probably in their best interest to ensure that people would actually want to target the ninja USBs. Note: the potency of the abilities is only from what I've read or seen in vids, not first hand experience. LornMarkus posted:Yeah, my guess would be we get two, maybe three events per realm. Even still that's a hefty hunk of bonus Mythril, especially for someone like me who bailed after a month or two and came back just before G5. If I could wind up with even like 100 extra mythril from all this, I'd be totally stoked with Tidus and FFTA banners coming up.

Has anyone else been having issues doing multiplayer lately? I'm not going to be able to get my final Omega kill in or these Dissidia MP fights if this keeps up. I've disconnected from over a dozen battles today as soon as it loads in. (And of course the one that I got into wiped in like 3 turns)

I have no idea why they'd feel like they have to nerf something in a completely cooperative/single-player experience.

Alxprit posted:I have no idea why they'd feel like they have to nerf something in a completely cooperative/single-player experience. If something that's not available to everyone is a huge outlier in terms of power then you end up basically having a split player base where it's impossible to balance for both types of players. You could kind of see this happening with Wall but there were other solutions to that.

There are others, but that's a good enough sampling to start with. Nothing has been nerfed into the ground, but DeNA isn't afraid to change things if they need to.

Zurai posted:Several, actually. The bosses resisting seems like something added, not something nerfed. Calling this a nerf is like calling a boss' immunity to fire a nerfing of fire spells. And the retaliate thing? I'm amazed they haven't just said "retaliate isn't supposed to work like that" and have retaliating characters stop attacking enemies when attacked by player characters. Ninja thing I guess? Seems like balancing to make it work well given how it's completely different from normal magic, what with ignoring resistance. Probably shouldn't have been tied to normal magic softcap in the first place. The tiny bees thing sure, it's a nerf. It'd still be a terrible relic even without the nerf, I guess that was just the nail in the coffin to dissuade anyone from using it.

Even if it was only two events per realm average for 15 realms, that's 300 mythril for going into some insanely good banners. Fister Roboto posted:Is anyone else hearing something that sounds like a door slamming at random times during battles? Just started happening for me today. Yeah, it happens all the time in my JP version, so maybe I haven't really noticed it in global yet. It seems to occur randomly when pressing command buttons.

Dear JP friends, Are there any big fests we should save for, or can I safely spend mythril on the two FFT events, and any other nice banner that shows up? I know there's 3rd anniversary, but I've heard mixed reports on quality.

Dena does overall mechanic nerfs as opposed to individual item/relic/ability nerfs. That's why we got attack soft cap lowered etc... It's because tauntilate + Luneth SB was super powerful for its time. Another thing they do is simply create another level of difficulty to invalidate previous meta strategies that are powerful. This is how we got Magicite dungeons. Because it doesn't matter how awesome your broken strat is at endgame -1. It only matters at the end game in gamer's minds.

It could theoretically be boosted by, say, dual cast white mage materia whereas as a NAT it cant.

I just realized tomorrow I can grab that second Gigas Armlet I missed with the FFII Renewal Dungeons  . Liking the opportunity to grab all these old accessories, and triple resist is a particularly good one.I'm hoping they'll rerelease the 5 Dooms event too. I fully cleared it but I know a lot of people didn't - and all those job motes would be really nice for people to get. Also I heard the Brass de Bravo events might be coming? Now that I have a relic for every Bard but Gogo V, I want more motes. The buffing bard songs will be great for Magicite too - Sarah, Deuce and Edward will love to have them.

Yeah, re-releasing the Five Dooms event would be pretty huge for new players. It would just figure if one of the only things Global ever does that JP didn't is re-release the Five Dooms, when I don't need it in Global but do in JP.

The announcement about Renewal Dungeons specifically said that only a "portion" of past events would reoccur. I'd say the odds aren't so good for Parade Float. Kinda wish JP had this event after the 30th Anniversary festival too, because I missed a lot of events there.

Given my relic collection here (google doc, there are tabs for the elements at the end) what would be a good magicite to start at? I've been attempting Sealion with an entrust bot for Terra's USB OSB combo, and it feels like I'm just not quite there. It doesn't help I don't have a +fire mage weapon. It does feel like I could get it if the stars aligned, but I wanted to see if anyone thought a different magicite would be an easier start. I'm currently using Raines for the fight just because he has my other faithga that's worth a drat (I have braska's but... braska. Also Braska isn't really leveled.). Maybe swap him for a Alph's radiant shield?

Got a 3/11 for the XV banner: Prompto SSB, Noct LMR, Aranea BSB. Would have loved more things from it (any of Noct SSB/Iris BSB/Prompto BSB/USB would have been much appreciated), but that's something for the entire cast now at least.
