    Tomorrow morning will be more interesting if they give the people who didn't get the Hallowe'enie rewards a little extra. I'm surprised it's taken this long to issue them or even get a response.

    While Arhiman, the U+ was defeated on my first try. Only ate one maser eye before destroying him, used native shout, Paladin Force, Knight Protector and White Materia.

    It did not stood a chance, I think this is the first U+ I have defeated without losing any medals.

    Thanks for the tips!

    You try force closing the app and reloading it? I assume you did but that worked for me.

    I have force closed the app twice now, and I have still not gotten my mythril, hat and pumpkin. I'm hopeful that after the maintenance tomorrow (or maybe at the 9:00 pm Eastern time for announcements) that it will be fixed.

    Had three dead, and lost two medallions on damage taken, but Daedalus cleared by the skin of my teeth. Also, confuse is pointless if you were planning on using attacks. Such a super "God damnit, duh" moment.

    If you land a Confuse, even if you break it quickly via further physical attacks, you've still effectively gotten a double Dismissal effect out of it: the target's ATB is reset when Confuse lands, and again when Confuse breaks. If you're inflicting Confuse at 60% rate with a machinist ability, you can steal quite a few turns from the boss.

    Multiplayer will be permanent right? Not a limited time event? I have tried searching for it and the only thing I know is that equipment is not important, while abilities/hones/sb are.

    I believe yes. Events will have U+++ D200 bosses, and there all be a Nightmare style dungeon iirc.

    It's all XI and XIV RS to start, so equipment's important, but very few people are going to be rocking major synergy for it. Also, you only need to gear up two people, so you don't need much.

    I have not gotten my Halloween presents either. I was thinking maybe it would happen at 8pm, at the same time when new dungeons/events activate. But that time has come and gone and still no sign of the gifts.

  • BeastehBeasteh THAT WOULD NOT KILL DRACULARegistered User regular
    there's been an official response on their facebook
    We have discovered that some players have not received their Halloween gifts. We are currently looking into the issue and will make an announcement in-game when more information is available. Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated while we work to resolve this issue. We hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the Halloween campaign!

    I was just coming here to post my Support email, but it's basically that.

  • DarklyreDarklyre Registered User regular
    So as if my (un)luckiness from the Larsa 1 banner wasn't enough for me I decided that since I got the Halloween mythril and was back above 50 I'd throw one shot at Keeper's Choice 2 for the Red Armlet.

    Only one rainbow - Sentinel's Grimoire.

    That'll do, DeNA. That'll do.

    I'm getting very sick of the new make every boss a rng fest strategy. Ahriman confuses deaduls with his stop which may as well be death spell. Lamia with confuse and sleep. I don't have the slots for Esuna. If you want me to bring it give me a third ability slot.

  • ShadowfireShadowfire Vermont, in the middle of nowhereRegistered User regular
    Every attempt on Ahriman has ended up with Doom on Y'shtola, which means I might as well S/L right there. It's... annoying.

    I have no idea what the hell you're supposed to do against Maser Eye. Protectga, Full Break, Power Breakdown, Basch's default +Def SB and the thing still nigh one-shots the entire party. On my "winning" run everyone got knocked down to slivers and just got picked off with autos and random crap and I had to squeak over the line.

    Still won the CM but I'm not going to do it again even with the A team.

    Physical blink, stuns, defending, dark resist, wall, abuse the forced divide mechanic, etc.

    On my CM run, I burned it down fast enough that I only saw it once, but I also timed War Dance to go off just after it. If you're bringing something like Paladin Force, it's eminently doable to nuke it within 5 turns.

    I was having a ton of trouble against Ahriman, so i retooled my team and had some amazing luck.

    My rw shout went off just after he cast slowga, and i used Basch physical blink just before he used his mazer attack. Penelo kept getting her holy attack / healja ssb off after group attacks. Finished the fight with all 9 medals CM style.

    I think for the U++ i will have to get my whole team to 70+ before rs.

    Don't forget that there is maintenance tonight, which means that if you are partway through a dungeon you will get booted out and effectively lose that stamina. It should start when the dailies rollover, and finish when the date changes.

    Also hopefully I get my Halloween stuff, I only drew on the last lucky draw because of that 25 mythril.

    I have no idea what I did differently between my first few tries and my winning run. The first couple of times, Protectga/Wall/Full Break/Power Breakdown still ended up with Maser Eye hitting for ~3k. My winning run, however, added only Apocalypse Shield to the mix, but somehow Maser Eye hit Ramza for 750. Maybe Wall fell off the first few runs or something, but I found that incredibly odd.

    What did make things much more manageable was the addition of Magic Lure to Basch (tanked the Piercing spells for a lulzy 300-500 damage each) and swapping Pecil's IVcalibur for an 8* Yoichi Bow (Pecil had 490+ ATK before Shout, and was sitting in the back row).

    Daedalus was cake for me, but that's because I only got hit with two slow procs and no stops. Piercing Darkra was still nasty, as I swapped out Basch's Magic Lure for Full Charge. It was still hitting me for 2.5k after Wall/Shell/Full Break/Magic Breakdown.

    I'm seriously considering dumping some Rosetta Stones on Yoichi Bow (would end up at 157 ATK) and/or Stoneblade (167 MAG). There's a surprisingly high number of good bow users, and Stoneblade is my best MAG/NIN weapon (300+ MAG with RS).

    Really? I did a fist pump every time he cast Doom. Two RW Shouts (or Walls, if you prefer) is only 50s. I'd probably be dead to successive Maser Eyes well before Doom killed anybody.

    The Ahriman fight has controllable enough incoming damage (Magic Lure + Gigas Armlet fair negates the magic) that you can run two healers where one of them is a Hastebot, which allows you to RW Wall or a Physical Blink for Maser Eye. It doesn't need to be a race, per se.

    Edit: Though you'll need characters that can boost themselves and good 5* hones. Maybe that isn't as viable as I first thought.

    My DPS and defenses weren't QUITE there for the U+, so I did a couple mythril refreshes. ATK +10% and HP +10% got me my win.

    2 mythril for 10 major orbs, a crystal and an MC3 ain't a bad trade-off.

    -Keeper Choice 2
    -Nothing yet

    I did the fight CM style because let's face it, when you have Fran's SSB, Vaan's BSB and the option to pick up Balthier with a SSB plus a bajillion 4/5++ weapons, it's a no brainer to have to give the CM a shot.

    No Paladin Force, no native Hastega, no native Medica. I squeaked the win with a medal lost for damage taken, 2 for KOs because Basch was the last one standing with a sliver of HP left but the win was a win. The Maser Eye annihilated nearly a full HP bar on everyone but Basch and since I was magic luring, the piercing spells were getting lighting rodded. The autos finished off the others as well as a second Maser Eye

    Also, you can STUN the bastard?! Regardless, if I were to do the fight with my A team it will be with team BSB + Paladin Force.

    The events have been translated up to the Angeal FFVII event, which means Dorgann and Alphinaud/Minfilia will be part of the December update.

    Two DU lucky banners have been translated. The first we should see is this:

    According to /u/TFMurphy, looks like they've added the fix for multi-elements such that Element Buffs now help dictate which element is chosen.

    Also we're getting the Revenge Dungeon and banner, just not getting to vote on it. It'll be Bahamut SIN, Caius Ballad and that other fight.
