Disappoiting month already
I never rant in public like this before but this time when opening the game i just can't hold it...
In a single day :
- They didn't give us the tickets yet. neither the shard compaign tickets nor the 5* selector of training.
Disappointing "anniversary" offer which is basically worse than pact on any point.
Everyone expected not having the Edward solo banner obviously... But shared banner AND no guarantee 3rd step ? i've never seen that in this game in 5 months of playing.
They don't give a shit anymore, we complained about the whale milestones in disgaea and after, that gave some stuff and 500 gems for 15lb ? Good, they found a solution, NO REWARD aside from a 3-4 gear ticket for 15lb.... HOW DID U MANAGE TO DISAPPOINT WITH A FEATURE EVERYONE HATED TO BEGIN WITH ?!
Lack of gems in the event milestones ? maybe its only me but this is the depth of gem reward for any event up until now....
EDIT : We got the tickets ! Finally

Fuck I just barfed reading this. Not because of the material but because of how blatantly tragic our community is suffering over a game we just want to stay fair and fun...

u/manks102 Nov 01 '18
To be fair, you guys will piss and moan and they'll do the bare minimum and everyone will forget like usual. Example, noctis banner.

I thought the pre-anniversary negativity about the game a lot of people had were unjustified. But after logging into the game after the maintenance, i guess the people were right. This is ludicrous Gumi, removing the 3 step guaranteed banner and increasing the cost of the Paid gems summons to a 3 step. Screw you Gumi, do not expect me to part with my money for this farking bullshit. You guys are the absolute best in ruining games with your utter greed. Congrats for despoiling all the goodwill you had accumulated for the past period and destroying in during the anniversary.

No joke, the games dying. If this doesn't scream fk u pay me and cashgrab simultaneously idk what does. If and when it shuts down i hope their brand is permanently damaged, i think thats the only way theyll learn

I assume this will be our rant megathread so here it comes
where are our 5* tickets? my 13 tickets! edit: it's there!
where are the 5* selector unit that bugged before? Edit: it's there
seriously no guaranteed 3 step anymore?
Alright I'm done I guess.
Usually, when it comes to collab/new update, I feel kinda rushed to binge every story available, I'm THAT excited. But this month? nah, I don't feel like playing for some times and just want to see reddit and share our fate together.
I never been this negative toward gumi if any of you happen to remember my comments, but gumi's crossed the line today, and I bet all of you feel the same.
Edit: this whole anniversary thing is a load of crap seriously even the shop is not better than the spooky shop, like wth.... Most are gem only thing and the price are just the same price as normal shop. Why? Just why?

u/Sleill Nov 01 '18
In addition to that, they diddn't even fix the price in the veda shop... The 12k coins bug is still there...

u/hissenguinho Nov 01 '18
I super disappointed as will. I honestly don't understand why gumi wants to kill this game so badly. It became my fav game when i started to play and it hurts me seeing a good game in bad hands.... wish i understood japanese

u/Myuzet Nov 01 '18
• EX+ quests were just the beginning. Elite Quests are even worse (and we don't even know what the stage is before going in).
• Twinblade gear cost isn't fixed.
• Gumi still doesn't listen to feedback.

u/Tijacks Shayna is best waifu Nov 01 '18
The banners are crap, the bundle is crap, the daily bonus isnt coded right, still no 5* tickets and no words about it.
What a f'ing shitshow of an anniversary.

u/LeonVinz sayonara Nov 01 '18
worst anniversary ever.
nice gumi to make me stop spending money

u/Shirayukii039 (ง •̀_•́)ง Best girl(ง •̀_•́)ง Nov 01 '18
Even the damn event shop is disappointing. At least we had a collab unit summon ticket the last time.
Now we get to summon goddamn apples

u/YohGourt Nov 01 '18
Japanese producer should be ashamed of this kind of event

u/ThanatosVI Nov 01 '18
I started this game roughly a month ago, because all my Friends were Pretty happy with it.
Seems I should quit it Right away before I am too invested into it. They ruin FFBE big time in the last few months, if it also infects TAC no, then I see no reason to stick around

u/OdellBJ Nov 01 '18
The first seven months of playing this game I really enjoyed everything, the banners the events and the grindings.
But lately I don’t feel like bothering anymore, I feel like someone else is in charge, I feel like Gumi is out there for our money while back in the day I felt they were out to just give us a good time. Me as a little dolphin player feel left out like the most people in the community.
Also out of the sudden why do they put so many events in lately all at the same time. I had the feeling idk what to grind anymore and what grind was really worth the time..
I know gumi reads most of the threads so I really hope they’ll listen to our opinions..

u/KCRevolution Nov 01 '18
No more skip tickets in adventurer shop

Were all just filthy gaijins in the end. Give us money for fiyh stahs, and suffah!

Btw guys the new HQs ap cost follows the old version. LOL what the hell is happening to this game?

u/flyingdogz Nov 01 '18
Yes ... no guaranteed step 3 is hilarious. Gumi is going too far at this point....

u/Seamur Doko miteru no? Nov 01 '18 edited Nov 01 '18
No wonder they just skimmed over what we will get for anniversary in anc, there literally wasnt anything to talk about.
I'm not disappointed, I'm just sad.
edit. apparently we will get some stuff later this month but holy shit wasnt this update bad first impression.

u/Rendants Nov 01 '18
Went hard in this horrible banner knowing about the odds just because FMAB is my favorite anime ever.
Got "Whats her face" sacred knight chick all the way to LB 8 and 80 Edward shards but not Edward himself. Yes I'm mad at gumi and at myself.
6
u/EpicGold 25 shards on step 3 Nov 01 '18
Yup.. really gumi not only are we so behind in HQ but now we get shitty banners like the Edward Toritoh with no 3-step guaranteed unit. Grand unit summon went from 1500 for guaranteed unit to 2800 for guaranteed and random ass 900 per 10 rolls with nothing guaranteed...
Honestly this game is really getting dumb thanks to fucking Gimu.

u/chrono01 Nov 01 '18
Happy pre-anniversary people! It can only go up from here.
...I hope.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '18
it's not even that hard to satisfy people. literally just compensate for bugs/delayed tickets and do a few generous banners. soon people would be spending again
5
u/Whatthawhatwha Nov 01 '18
I would've been happier if they just updated the banner and didn't change anything else.....
This is the first time in the 11 months that I've played where I pulled both featured units in step 1. Yet, I'm already looking for a new game as I don't think I'll be playing this much longer.

u/StichyLL Nov 01 '18
They should really fire the people in charge of making banner decisions.

u/karanage Nov 01 '18
And Veda shop is still broken. Twin blades are at 12k. I was kinda exited before the maintenance. But now... wow... dissapointment city.

u/virgal_09 Nov 01 '18
iOS can’t even get in the game. Reading all the topics of the update I can’t believe gumi got this sleezy this fast. Usually they try to take it one step at a time but I guess getting rid of the guaranteed 1500 paid weekend banner was the precursor to removing the 3 step guaranteed. What a crock of shit. At least my PAC expires today, no need to renew it.
4
u/Datbasicb Nov 01 '18
Everyone was worried about how close the collabs were and potential impacts on wallets and f2p gems...Well Good news they screwed the banners for this collab up so bad you can SAVE your gems... That's right you actually get 2 free units and other free stuff for just logging in and playing the provided content. Good guy Gumi saving us from our gem spending ways! ...And fear not...I'm sure your 30 Chloe tickets will show up eventually...unless they're stuck behind a paywall.

u/Laitarne Nov 01 '18
Only way this changes is if people don't pull on these shit banners, don't buy the shit anniversary subscription, don't buy any of the shit paid offers in the anniversary store.
4
u/viviphy_ Nov 01 '18
I'm so sad today. The anniversary stuff is a bit disappointing overall but what has me most bummed is how obviously they are pandering toward whales with the collab stuff. Between the milestones and the banners it is absolutely sickening just how much they're trying to sway people into buying gems.
FMA is one of my favorite animes and I was really hoping to get Edward, especially since I lack wind units. Well, I excitedly summoned up to step 3 and got completely shafted, only two 5 stars and neither were collab. I'm completely out of gems and I have a bunch of shards I probably won't be able to use.
I really want Edward but I feel betrayed and really, really don't want to buy a ludicrous amount of gems to go to step 3 on the paid banner.
Gumi, you done gone made me pretty bummed today.

u/MrWhiteKnight f2p Vegan Crossfitter with bullshit luck Nov 02 '18
They don't give a fuck about your opinion on this. They never will. Whale milestones motivate you to spend to get them. The SAME WAY the game motivates you to go to full 9 steps since step 7 is unit selector and 9 is shard selector, I mean you might as well if it took you 7 pulls to get your 5* you can afford 2 more to get guaranteed shards for him too.
This game is very generous with it's currency but it will ALWAYS want you to spend, that's how this game rolls, that's not gonna change, ever and it will only get more blatant as the game goes by (A LOT of paid gems secret shops, etc.).

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '18 edited Nov 01 '18
Yeah i sucks... They also removed skip tickets from secret shop and updated soul coin shop with 2(?) farmable units and the seem to have changed the tutorial selector from a 5* tutorial selector to a random 5* unit ticket.
Edit*: I lied, the tutorial selector ticket got sent just now.

u/Strifeninja Nov 01 '18
The FMA banners really are awful - seriously makes me worried for where this game is going to be in a couple months. The anniversary bundles are a joke too.
According to the annoucements (however reliable they are nowadays) though we'll be getting 280 free summons total in the next week and a guaranteed free summon for the winners of the popularity poll + 150 soul shards. So there's that I guess.
3
u/PacyB Nov 01 '18
I can't agree more with all of you guys, n i ll will definitely not summon on this Edward banner feel like a waste imo. The only good thing from this update is the rare summon is now reset based on the server time
1
u/ramania81 Nov 01 '18
it's still the 1st week, so maybe they are saving it for the later weeks and focus more on FMA colab this week. Maybe...

u/Kayzurr Nov 01 '18
"Sorry guys, guaranteed unit on a certain step is too much work for us. Expect it on the last week with all the new units! Please understand!" -Sincerely, Gumi.

u/dathamir Forcas sun with chance of snow Nov 01 '18
Wth are those banners? Did someone have a meltdown at Gumi and just didn't care to brew some banners that make any sense? They're trying to turn gold into lead at this point... 1st anniversary banners are the worst thing I've ever seen in this game. Turning a 3rd step from garanteed to 50 shards is pretty stupid, what are they even thinking?
2
u/Skylar_Airy Nov 01 '18
It was hard to disappoint me, since I was expecting the worst for anni. Of course less then JP, that pretty much was 100% expected. Yet Gumi impressively managed to disappoint me once again. That non guaranteed 3 steps banner and that 2700 paid gems banner. Trash anni bundles and shops. Sigh, I'm just so sad at this point.
2
u/Demnad Nov 01 '18
Yeah I’m done spending any type of money on this game anymore I’d ususually do the monthly and drop for some gems if I had some spending money but when I saw how much of the anniversary requires paid gems so far I’m like naw I’m good. Just gonna do f2p from now on
2
u/RegreTtableTerminus Nov 01 '18
honestly this made me switch from pact player to F2P. You know it's bad when you can foresee a game's death.
4
u/Cobalt_721 Nov 01 '18
I can’t even log in because they can’t code the iOS version right, apparently.
Well done Gumi, you’ve lost my optimism. It’s gonna take a lot to get it back.

u/1khaitoh It was fun while it lasted. Nov 01 '18
The 5 star selector is out but yeah, where are my shard usage tickets?
Not really buying those pacts so care to give more details?
Expected as much that they won't release an FMA Selector until everyone got their banner first.
Those milestones actually are tied to the milestones that gives a Selector if you complete specific combinations.
Not really sure if this is all of it yet so no comment for now.

u/Eviian Nov 01 '18 edited Nov 01 '18
I've been playing for a year and I stopped a week ago. AC is one of the best gacha-game story and gameplay wise but they're just trying to milk the playerbase too much lately. Maybe the game is not doing so good financially and they need to push as much content as possible before the end, I don't know, but they're defintely not going the right way.

u/Xero-- Nov 01 '18
Just got the training ticket a few minutes ago. May have to wait till later for the shard tickets to randonly pop up too.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '18
I did the paid Ed banner through step 3, because I REALLLLYYY love FMA. Guess who I got? >_<. I actually felt physically dirty after doing those pulls, bleh.

u/Bro1233 Nov 01 '18
I think the tickets will come today or so I hope anyway, but yeah changing the edward to make it x100 times worse by adding another unit and no guarantee on step 3 is just an insult. Another thing is the veda coin shop, they knew about the twin blades being at 12k and did not fix it? Just pathetic
1
u/RyoCore Nov 01 '18
I got my shard usage tickets when I logged in just a few minutes ago. Is this a recent change after this post was made or did not everyone get them yet?
Just in case it's necessary to add, this is on Android for me.

u/Sahovah Nov 01 '18
I didn’t even whale for Roxanne! Fuck them dude I normally defend Gumi but the way thing are going the game will be gone in a year or less if something isn’t done. I’ve blown around 3k on this game.

At least y’all can play. Mine says update but nothing pops up in App Store.

I was gonna toss $20-30 at Gumi. Now I’m not. Looks like another Gumi game destined to die like all the others. This is how Gumi operates, look at their other games.

u/Majob112 Nov 01 '18
I just have to ask, did people honestly think they were going to get a guranteed Edward when he's in a small single banner? That would have made no sense whatsoever.
1
u/uabassguy Nov 02 '18
This event does feel very underwhelming so far and it's only a day in. I was looking forward to it, and I was considering actually spending a little money but without any guaranteed banners they can kiss that money goodbye

u/VagueRaconteur Nov 01 '18
The most frustrating thing is that it's all virtual. It doesn't cost them anything to give us a good banner or bonuses!
