ChenSA, you've had a level 11 Gaffgarion as your friend unit for a few weeks.

No idea if you're still playing but change it up or I'll have to unfriend you :v:

Probably give him Last Stand at the very least. Maybe some kinda dumb gimmick where he deals more damage the lower health he's at.

Time to stack him with +HP items and make him a pseudo tank.

I got nothing else to grind right now so I'll use the maze to max him out right now. I doubt he will top the charts in damage though.

Well I tried Nox and had the exact same problem I had with memu. I try to start it up, it gets to 99%, and just stops there. The only difference is after a couple of minutes, Nox puts up a little window that says "Hey startup failed!"

So yep. Guess it's impossible for me to macro. I'm stuck purely with Trust Moogles and manual grind. :( I'm never going to have any guys worth a poo poo.

Are you trying to start it up using remote desktop? If the graphic card isn't being triggered Nox tends to do that.

Maybe make sure your drivers are up to date.

I cannot get my macros to run for more than an hour now. They either crash to desktop, freeze up entirely or end up in some feedback loop.

This is on both Memu and Nox, and on the most recent versions of each.

That alone might kill the game for me.

Twice your noctis has eaten it on the first round of ELT Froster. Just bad luck I suppose. The ifrit makes him vulnerable to his blizzagas.

Was a pretty long run of not much to do but TM grind. Since Frosty ended (where a lot of people even had all the rewards by the end of the first week) all you basically had to do was run the 5 Aquapolis levels plus the dailies and you were set. Will probably TM the first few days of the Type-0 while hoping to get some bonus units and waiting for friends to get some too. I suggest if you get lucky on pulls to really hammer the King Mog stuff. I lucked into 2 Lightnings (100% Bonus) and 3 75% bonus units during the last one and with a friend Lightning I was rolling in gears. Ended up with 50 of every 6* mat, both trust Moogles, and anything else useful. Then again it may not work well with this banner since the difference in running 2+1 Lightnings and say 2+1 Aces may be hard to overcome.

I may just forgo the 6* Mats this time. Pretty sure I have a full stack of each of them.

I'll just get the Tickets, Gigantuars and the moogles if it's not a great pain in the rear end.

Got Trey for my 1/2 pull and blew through all the levels. The ELT boss is able to be hit with blind and paralyze so Exdeath/Exdeath/Exdeath/Trey/Cecil can walk right through it with an Exdeath clearing the first 3 waves via dualcast thundaga while the others melee to build up an LB for one of the Exdeaths.

I've gotten so used to a full Melee team that I forgot about my 550Mag ExDeath. He's trivializing this event now. Can wipe all waves in one dual cast.

Time to load up on more bonus units.

The difficulty scaling in this game cracks me up. I just broke open into the 3rd map, and every fight is Graviga then some other -aga spell and mobs are wiped. Repeat that 3 or 4 times, get to boss area, and suddenly everything you hit does 1/50th damage.

What I am saying is, basically I got Mad Ochu'd to death for 200 lapis to get the fight over with, WHILE he was on Full Break, Imperil'd, and I had shellga and protectga up...after clearing the other fights with so much a hint of the oncoming difficulty.

Also, what is up with the dramatic change in energy. 2nd map everything was 10+ energy, and now I am back to 6,7,8s

There was this weird energy growth where they realized people couldn't clear content fast enough because it'd take 60 energy to get 4/6 through a level.

I'm glad they equalized it.

The summon system change doesn't really change the chances of pulling Orlandu on banner though. If you pull a rainbow currently it's a 50% chance that it's the current on banner 5*, or one of the many 5* capable characters in the game. The change would make it so that you'd have a 50% chance for Orlandu and a 50% chance for a 5* base. Which IS better, but doesn't change your odds of getting TG Cid, just makes it so your NOT TG Cid Rainbows won't be poo poo.

Tell that to Palleon and his 5* Sahz.

That's one thing I'll miss is the rollercoaster ride of emotions when I pull a 5* Celes.

So, I was using Nox before work to do some arenas while my phone charged. I entered the Nian exploration, not realizing it was an exploration, saw the map size and closed Nox, because gently caress that.

When I got to work and got back onto BE, I had successfully completed the exploration, and got all the rewards except for killing the Nian with a limit or whatever.

So, this event can be cheesed. Do with this information what you will.

I don't advise doing this. It's that grey area where bans "may" be given out.

Sorta like how bans were "handed out" for the Maxwell event but 90% of this thread did it and we're still here.
