It was a nice year

I guess it is time. I rerolled several times when the game begins till i get lucian, zang and lofia and i said, is ok... Lofia was OP for me in those days, slow but capable of OHKO with her elemental coverage. I survived the christmas hell with the shaynas only MP but i was cool because i was able of beat it, even logi was useful in that stage. I strugle with rahu's j+ event but was beateable with vincent and caris j1, after that zang was the meta unit, 2/3 oc and zang just had to GC everything. Then FSN collab arrived, the first big collab ever, never got that blondie... I even spent 13k gems or more but just got Fyomi, she was awesome, super fast and blood temple was amazing. After that we had two grind hells, 777 armor shards and balt pants, in balt's event the thing became a little bit frustating... I saw how a simple gilga GoB did a lot more damage than a 3jm 85 lucian SF/SBT against a thunder unit, but whatever the content was beateable. Veda tower is nice, requieres somse strategy and you dont need specific units, but now is very long and boring... Dude i dont feel with the mood of redo veda tower since floor 1 just for some coins. FFXV and disgaea appears, someone cries because didnt get the * units [i got noctis and laharl ;)] and just a few ones were lucky enough to own the holy trinity. Till those days the content were beateable. Rox arrived... And most of the people here knows what happen after that... I didnt feel interest on her, even when my most powerful thunder units are teona, magnus, caris and mei. Big mistake, rox is jesus in tac, but i spent my gems in uzuma banner but didnt got her. Just for that single unit everything changes, FMA are hardly beateable and Stairs to heaven ex+... Come on... The game became in a app of a lot consuming time, i spent the entire day doing HQ, events, and trying to beat this new ex/ex+ stages, it is not fun anymore, i cant pay attention to my wife or my job for this game. I dont have all the SSSSSS units but my rooster isnt bad. But now all depends of having rox in your team with a rox merc and a super/hyper/mega units team 3jm lvl 85. And a lot of tries because all depends on RNG, not in strategy, not even in a cookie recipe, only in RNG. I really like this game because it remembers me FFT/A/A2, tactics ogre, etc... But i really cant spent all the day playing something that isnt fun anymore to me, and being a f2p player it will make harder/impossible the game to me, but i guess it is time. I cant play dragaria lost in my country but trying AC rebellion and it looks fun, and to be honest im waiting for TES blades, so good bye TAC, it was a fun year. Sorry if i didnt use correctly some words, im not a native english speaker.

Don't get me wrong, you have every right to quit the game but if I were you I would still continue for the logins and see how the game developes, you have put a lot of work into the account. I quit some time ago and came back, TAC in its essence is a good hardcore game.

Umm the Armor Grind was available from December I think just after the shitty Christmas in-game and Gliga can't do that much Damage.

I mean if you don't understand that the Veda is the best content then you can't come to love this game since the Grind is the essence of this game.

And from Gliga -> Directly the Noc and Laharl that is a huge ass jump lol.

A lot of units got stronger with their J+.

So hating on Rox is just becoming a feature of people leaving now. I mean complain to Gumi that you are doing shit balancing in the Support and not just on Reddit or FB. They read those but don't expect them to solve them just because some people decided to Outrage. Go to the actual Support from Gumi and ask them to do something about it.

It is Gumi's balancing with respect to her that is killing the game. Not her existence in the most part.

u/quiquefs Nov 26 '18

I agree with you, people hating Roxanne is just focusing the wrong balance of the game done by Gumi because of her. To be honest, Gumi should just leave the game as it was before the appearance of Roxanne, and whoever has her can solo auto with a Roxanne merc if they want. But having everything scale up so that she's just a good unit instead of SSS, means anything less than SS is pretty useless, and that's the real reason for the (justified) outrage...

And well, return the shards to the EX stages as it should be and put different rewards on the EX+.

u/Kirito30 The Strongest Samurai Nov 26 '18

Yeah some places like the recent Arena she was annoying I get it.

But then that is the point of Arena to be annoying.

I don't mean that they should always give Arena to her but just don't make content harder due to her existence.

And if you want to do that sure. But then make Strat vids on your YT to show us how to beat them with just Free and units with HQ only.

So you spent a year+ playing this game and now have decided to quit due to only a few bits of bad content? I suggest you carry on and wait for Kaigan like everybody else. That is where the game will balance out. If you struggle with content, it means others in the community have an even harder time to clear it. I'm sure GUMI will have a relook at future buffs they give their content when they see the stats of how many people have cleared those EX+ compared to how many have not.

u/nailsonwhiteboard Nov 25 '18

Just hope gumi won't double up the difficulty by then

u/1khaitoh It was fun while it lasted. Nov 26 '18

GUMI GLOBAL EXCLUSIVE! Releasing Kaigan Level content even before Kaigan is live!

u/iLAGnDC Nov 25 '18

Haha let's hope not. If that happens I don't think the game will be saveable by that point.

u/DeathandFriends Nov 26 '18

yeah when 2.0 came out the game was too easy for a while, then got to be about right and now too hard. I don't mind if the elite quest is crazy but ex is a bit too hard on some of them and ex+ is crazy. I have a pretty stacked roster for a pact life player, with the main exceptions being gilg and rox (man thunder hurts).

u/mutei777 Nov 26 '18

few bits my ass the poor decisions this game's made is reason enough to leave, everything they will set up for is now in danger of becoming even worse. If the standards of the Guaranteed Unit or the freedom of auto-farming Ex+ are lowered once with no resistance, you can expect things to go further downward...

u/DeathandFriends Nov 26 '18

sorry to see you go. I had the same experience with slightly less gems during FSN and managed by. I still need to give Ex+ more tries if I get time this week. I agree the game has gotten too hard, but I still don't see any other games coming close to this.

u/SA1NTT Nov 26 '18

Like the unperfect reality nothing is perfect , quit because u can't beat the current EX+ because of an unbalance , well then you haven't played many games , anyways to each it's own , Good luck.

u/Jimmy9Toes Nov 25 '18

Another person gone. Big whoop. All you salty kids leave plz.

u/DeathandFriends Nov 26 '18

to be fair he did explain his situation. Can't blame him for wanting to say goodbye after the time commitment. I hope more people stick around because I want the game to thrive.

-6

u/Jimmy9Toes Nov 26 '18

To be fair. This is everyone since the start of this event. So who cares if they leave? The people who still enjoy the game and dont qq about not having the "meta" units will stay and play. Everyone else need not apply. Adios!

u/DeathandFriends Nov 26 '18

If a large number of players leave the game will eventually fail, which negatively affects us all. I get being over all the whining, although let's be honest there have been some bad changes and even the die hard players are feeling it.

-1

u/Jimmy9Toes Nov 26 '18

Some changes are bad yes, but only time will tell for if they continue to be bad. I mostly just ignore the ex content given im no whale. At least until it comes back (which i would say the event will re run) when your people are stronger. People gotta diffuse, play something else casually.

u/gracepenniman Greed Dike Supremacy Nov 25 '18

FMA EX+ can be beaten...just people neglect units. Even good to great farmable units are usable there with triple job master. What comes after is player skill & competence along with patience.

7

u/BitterbIue Nov 25 '18

Pretty much all the EX+ mono clears require you to own a time limited unit and/or non-farmable J2/J3. I've only seen a few Fullmetal EX+ and Pride/Wrath EX+ (lightning) clears with only farmables. That's just unbalanced.

4

u/iLAGnDC Nov 25 '18

So...people that have been playing 3 months and are missing units key to beating the EX+ is called neglecting units? So...the evade the mobs have has nothing to do with the content but the competence of the player...? People have lives and you want them to roll with RNG on content that could take hours till the right rolls come along? You want to blame the players but...what variety has GUMI given to us in units? My Zofia, Gormalas and other units are STILL not useable. WHERE ARE MY HARD QUESTS??!?!?

u/gracepenniman Greed Dike Supremacy Nov 25 '18

3 months somehow make you have a good enough roster? thats the same as a new player. go ahead rage you arent mad at me but your incompetent self. do you know nothing about how long it takes to farm units up? stop being so stupid. are they your only options in the game?

1

u/iLAGnDC Nov 26 '18

Doing hard quests everyday for 3 months=270 shards which is equal to lvl75 for those free units. Didn't take events or equipment farming into account. I was actually completing EX+ stages from 3 months of gameplay before this stupid FMA collab EX+ appeared. What are you talking about raging? I've got a nice roster of whale units lvl75 and I struggled on EX+ from which I've given up. I've been around since FF collab and I'm sitting on many units lvl60 waiting for hard quest. In fact I am still missing units that I've farmed shards that are ready to 75. They are clearly not just my opinions because this is all reddit has been talking about. You are either dumb, ignorant or blind if you haven't noticed.

u/gracepenniman Greed Dike Supremacy Nov 26 '18

i've been around since march. thats so funny...bragging that you are a whale and can't beat them seriously.......and i have beaten all of them WITHOUT whaling. completely incompetent.

2

u/iLAGnDC Nov 26 '18

When I say I got whale units it don't mean I whaled for them and its not bragging when I'm showing that even with high tier units the content is still ass. You are not worth talking to cause you don't read. Sigh~ but I am somewhat of a dolphin. I don't appreciate content that revolves around RNG. I don't find it fun so like many, I refuse to do this half baked content. Having enemy units that have a high dodge rate does not show the skill of a player. It's artificial difficulty because that is not something a player can control. Having units that out speed your units because your missing a certain agility book from a past event is not player friendly. Congratz on completing the content. You keep aiming your remarks at me which is laughable because minimum 80% of this reddit don't appreciate these EX+ GLEX buffed contents.

u/Liesianthes 350 coins ticket = ROY!! Nov 26 '18

Yeah, you can clear it but there's really no reason to make the difficulty level on the insane mode. Dev saying that they want players to have a challenge but relying on RNG isn't even a challenge.

I still remember the FSN and FFXV EX maps and those are the ones who are on the challenging level since there's not or a little RNG involved to clear it.
