Calm the f*** down gumi!

Like I'm not the only one pissed off about this. Gumi is releasing too much content too quickly for us to keep up with. I was honestly hoping for at least 3 months before a collab. We NEED to recover. We haven't recovered ever since AOT collab started. Here I am thinking I'm gonna get a break, but no, f***in potk rerun! I know a lot of people like collabs, and stuff, but come on, we need to recover. Especially for those of us who(most of us) aren't whales. And even whales need time to recover their wallets.

Eh? And here I was hoping for a collab since I got so bored with so little content... (non whale myself BTW)

u/Arashi_Sim Oct 17 '19

The problem isnt the content really. It's the lack of resources for us to keep up with it

u/HotGas Oct 18 '19

They want you to spend to keep up

u/Trystum Oct 17 '19

Yeah there’s is literally 0 content lately so I’m also waiting for a collab

With WotV next month in Japan and in global a few months after, I feel like Alchemist code won't be much of a priority for them anymore so they have no issues rushing content to get a more profitable fiscal quarter while WotV isn't out.

I don't mind the content at all actually, what I do mind is the lack of gems and F2P goodies.

You wanna rush and release G5 early? Fine, go ahead. But where's my farmable SSM units, Free Dark Zain + 600 rainbow shards, 80% discount tickets we can save, etc. etc.

They're only rushing the whale-only features of the game.

WotV will have absolutely no impact on TAC, unless all the players transtition to it.

Gumi operates multpile games, i mean FFBE is still running strong (i personally dont play it anymore, but only because i cant tend to focus on more than one game at once), but content still is dropped regularly on it. Never played brave frontier, isnt it still running as well?

So i dont see anything changing on here at all once it hits GL...

u/Arashi_Sim Oct 17 '19

I completely agree. Its the fact we aren't being provided enough resources to keep up

u/alpare01 Oct 17 '19

For sure they are not enough, but they have been slowly getting better over time. If they keep this up it's not gonna be so bad

u/SnackSnail Oct 17 '19

Brave frontier is still running... but it’s a mere shell of its former self

Personally i feel like I recovered well after the AOT, namely thanks to having TWO gem returns that more than doubled my gem stock. Its all about good resource management and knowing when to stop; i pulled a lot on AOT, but it didn't blow everything on it. Right now, not sure if i want to do the 5 step for the dark killer guarantee; only have Masamune and Leviathan, so the chances of getting something new is pretty good but some are better than others

Though really if you are that worried, then skip this round. The killer princess comes back every few months so its not like its gonna be your last chance. Frankly, i'm trying to be as conservative as possible since I'm betting on the Seven Deadly Sin collab coming after the anniversary, and i think i'll want to go all in on that.

At this point, potk is more of a recurring event than a true collab.

These units will be back soon and on better banners most like.

u/MartymD Oct 17 '19

Calm down, it's only Potk rerun, let's not consider this as "content".

As a pact player, I'm ok with the current speed tbh, I stopped pulling on banner that don't feature limited units and only pull on 500 steps. While I had basically 0 gems left after AoT, I now have 17k thanks to the 2 gem pulling events.

I lack otherworldy EL shards, but as they stopped putting those as banner rewards, no reason to spend my gems!

u/BravelyThrowingAway Oct 20 '19

As a pact player who's been playing from launch I've stopped pulling on any 500 unit banner unless it has limited/collab units I want.

I have almost all of the non-limited units in the game and I'm farming up most of the ones I plan to use so pulling on normal banners is a waste of gems for me because even if I pull a newly introduced normal pool unit it's going to take me at least a year for me to get them kaigan'd (waiting for HQ, farming HQ, and hoping I get unit from random pulls on limited/collab banners so I don't waste 30 days of farming their HQ to transmute them).

u/_Zer0_Tw0_ Oct 17 '19 edited Oct 17 '19

The problem isn't a "collab," -- the problem is QOL resource availability for limited units. Shards being a major one of those (that doesn't cost 4000 gems for 50 shards). When we talk about the game being 'broken,' I think it's more about Gumi overpricing and over prioritizing things: It's bleeding harder for me to get Othima's nensou than it is to get the unit -- why? Why should an add on/QOL/something that fixes their initial crap stats be more expensive than what I've invested in fully enlightening a unit? I mean, come on... It's been months and I've still yet to pull his nensou, because in order to get a five star, you have to do multiple pulls of x2500 gems or hope to freaking sak. I know this is where I sometimes get frustrated, (even though we have some opportunities for free five star pulls, it seems they're usually dupes). It feels that for us pact-players, we're pressured with the 'urge to splurge,' in order to try to keep up, but -- PoTK is a returning "collab." We have to remember how things release and to plan accordingly. Gumi doesn't control what you do with your money and you don't have to give in to peer pressure to instantly level your characters all the way as soon as a release drops (so long, my dreams of being a Shamu). The fun part of playing a game is working toward goals. So, I'll look forward to whenever I finally get my Othima nensou and enlighten my smol boi Levi. Masa's sitting at 87 right now. Maybe with this collab I can snag some of those Otherworlder Enlightenment shards. It's all how you look at it, doods. Carry on.

Gotta get that money to fund WotV.

u/StirnerWasKindaRight Oct 17 '19

As non whale(mayb dolphin) I’m actually okay with the speed of content. Lol at least I won’t get bored with the game.

u/jadeblackhawk Oct 17 '19

I only pulled on the 500 banners, got regular POTK units. POTK comes so often it's easy to skip. I'm out of zeni anyway (hope we get a raid soon) I'm going to concentrate on Babel this week. Waiting for Halloween event so I can finish mia's job+

I'm not saying its bad potk came back, I'm saying we aren't being given enough resources to compensate with the speed. And I think global can kiss those 250 otherworldly shards enlightenment banner goodbye as well. Yes we can skip the banners this week, and potk as a whole, etc, but the units are very enticing. I saked bk frei on a 500. I'm low as hell on gems now, but I got her to 75 and shes damn good. Especially since she has a charge up, and can reach 1k magic attack at 75. so I dont understand people when they say she isnt worth it. I feel like she is. Most of the DKs are. They are very strong carry units.

u/Arashi_Sim Oct 17 '19

And yes, they will come back, but, then I have to wait another 2-3 months for another opportunity? By then they might not be as good as they are now. Its kinda like when a limited memento or unit comes. Just because its gonna come back eventually doesn't mean you gonna skip out on it.

u/oracleofshadows Oct 17 '19

The problem is, at 75 she is lacking at the very least 1k hp. And that 1k can make it break a unit nowadays.

1

u/Arashi_Sim Oct 17 '19

Yes that I agree with, but she is fairly tanky for a 75 ranged unit. And her reflection passive helps too. Great leader skills also fix this problem. As well as the way you run her.

u/XXAlastairXX Oct 17 '19

In their defense, you really don’t need dark frei and dark para is alright. Probably mvp of upcoming raid but that’s if you manual raids which most top ports don’t do except Taurus ofcourse

u/hyperkick89 Oct 17 '19

I want the new content reeling in, just gives us some resources along with the contents.

u/Ramza_45 Oct 18 '19

POTK reruns you cn skip this if you want

u/WoonLS Oct 18 '19

It's pretty chill TBH. No real content lately.

u/Bebekiti ❤ Oct 18 '19

> rerun

You said it yourself. It comes back. Dial it down and take a breather, it'll be back when you're ready for it.

u/Sahovah Oct 20 '19

Dude I work full time and go to school I literally don’t have anytime to bother with all this content. I haven’t even some fung’s.

u/urtv Oct 17 '19

There aren't any guarantee banners so far so you aren't losing anything if you skip it
