Do the JP players bitch when they see the global exclusives drop?
Also, god damn Claire is fucking terrible (grandt too, but he's a dps).

I think Claire's really good. When I dropped Raaga as lead I used her as sub over him. Of course, Zenia shits all over both.

Bah, was JUST about to post for somebody to get you +Nets, then you edit that in.

I'm not even joking, if they nerf them, I'm probably done with this game.
I dropped 50 gems to get Zenia as she was released, they want to nerf her down after the f'n fact, they can go fuck themselves.
Don't get me started on Tridon.
Leave them the fuck alone.

Nerfing them post release just because they are "too good" in a game with constant power creep is a terrible plan, and a great way to piss off your customers.
Nerfing game breaking stuff like hadron's original stealth mechanics makes sense.
Gumi really doesn't understand how to make units which became abundantly clear when a reddit user had to explain to them how to correctly use frame delays on buffs so ultor's atk buff would buff himself. (Gumi fucked this up twice according to data mines)
I'm betting they change tridon'so ubb because they can't figure out how to make the two shields stack.

I don't even feel like Fodder Farming or WVA'ing now.
I don't want to expect and plan for the worst, but if they do nerf them, anything I do today is just a waste of time because I'm gone.
Neither one of these units are broken in the same way Hadaron was broken. Hadaron could solo any content in the game due to bugged stealth mechanic......my Tridon and Zenia die in difficult content all the goddamn time.
Frontier Gate has been out for a f'n month and I haven't beaten it yet, and I have both units.
I am reacting to news that isn't even concrete yet, so I realize I might be overreacting, but I seriously feel strong enough on this issue that even a wiff that they *might* do it pisses me off.
Nerfing units after they have been out for a MONTH when they are not even broken? Oh fuck right off.
Tomorrow needs to come and go without nerfs of any significance to either character, or I suddenly have free time I've been wanting to spend on a lot of other things anyway.
Give me the excuse to leave this game forever Gumi, I fucking dare you.

Nothing changing atm:
Attention Summoners!
We have received reports that there was a misunderstanding regarding the rebalancing of our Global Exclusive Units such as Tridon and Zenia.
In our latest Twitch Stream session, we answered a concern regarding global exclusive units that are overpowered or too weak. We mentioned that we will be reviewing our global exclusive units and rebalance them. Note that rebalance consists not just nerfing the unit but also buffing them. At the moment, we have no plans to make adjustments on any of these units.
As the game progresses, we are constantly reviewing these global exclusive units and may consider a rebalance when necessary. Rest assured that we will provide an official announcement ahead of time through our official
channels before implementing major changes on our global exclusive units.
We highly encourage all players to share their concerns and thoughts on our official forum -http://forums.gumi.sg/forum/brave-frontier. We appreciate your feedback and suggestions, so please do not hesitate to share it with us.
Thank you for your support, and we are looking forward to serve you better.

Ok, so I was just in a group of 4 that failed the RC3 athenasphere... Beyond retarded team mates, I need some tips. We got phaeton down to ~30% before time expired.
Should I bring raid enhancers to make the fights go faster?
Should I swap up my team (Griel lead, Claire, Elimo, Elza, Medina with Raaga friend)? Everyone is maxed except Medina isn't max imp'ed yet.
I've been autobattling trash, but just figured I can save time by doing a single BB to kill trash and spark the rest.
I just see my team mates deliver huge chunks of damage and I'm a slow grind. I'm a great tank team but I don't feel like I'm doing the necessary damage.

20 wins yesterday in Water Vortex.... Just hit 40 wins today so far... JFC I don't think it's even possible to get the unit without gemming. That's sort of shit.
Rank 914 for daily, and 9644 total. Can't wait for that to slide.
edit: I'm averaging about ~175 points per fight today. I'm at 8481 points total, and need 1519, or 9 more fights. That's ~180 minutes, or 3 more hours of using every orb possible.
To get the unit I need 6519 points... at 175 (which seems generous, since the spread for exalted is 5k, which is near the limit of what will ever be displayed). That's 38 wins, or 740 minutes/12 1/3rd hours of straight playing. I guess it's not THAT far away if I can stand hitting refresh that many times.
The biggest fuck-off is that once you start getting near a rank up after Glorified, you don't reliably get the point spread to guarantee a 160+ pt win.
Also, lord help you if you lose (my first fight was a loss with Medina lead, but the game crashed and didn't count it).
20,000 pts for top reward is 115 fights at 175 pts/fight. That 2300 minutes of orb regen, or just over 38 hours of continuously winning. Obviously it's not totally true because you start with 3 orb, but spread that 38 hours worth of fighting over 5 days (4 days?) and it gets a bit more intense to be checking every 20 minutes.
double edit: went hard and hit 50 fights today. At 70 overall, and with 10069 points, I'm averaging ~143 a fight. That skews my math above a bit more. UGH. ~47 hours worth of fighting...

So much for feeling lucky for once.
It happened again.....another Gumi patch, another day of me watching from the outside during a timed competitive event. Last time Frontier Hunter, this time Water Vortex Arena.
This time I can at least log in, but now anytime I try to go to "Manage Squads" to switch up my squads, I get numerous "Assert Errors" that freeze up my device (so I can't even switch to my Mono-Water squad to even *attempt* doing the WVA. If I try to enter battle anywhere with the squad I had left up before the patch, I also get numerous "Assert Errors" when it switches to the battle screen.
So I can't change my squads, I can't fight with the squad I have......I CAN collect gifts heh.
It doesn't seem to be a widespread problem by any stretch, so I am not hopeful about receiving any help from Gumi. I don't even know what is wrong or how to even begin to approach fixing it.
If any of you guys have heard of this and any solutions that might work, I'd appreciate any help you could toss my way.
Between yesterday and today, this WVA has gone to shit in a hurry for me....it was going to be close enough without losing one whole day, now no telling if I'll even be able to re-enter it at all before it is over. I've already reinstalled/redownloaded the game data multiple times.

Heh, yea that is true.
I was averaging about 5k points a day though, even including yesterday where I barely felt like gaming at all and lost the whole evening watching my nephews/niece for my sister. I get that things slow down as you rank up (fewer folks above you to milk points from), but I think I had a real shot at the Buffer Jewel, especially if they extended it a day. I would have liked a buffer jewel.
The time away might do me a bit of good though.
Been going back and forth with Customer Service......in my initial service ticket, I stated clearly that I'd completely removed and reinstalled the game to no avail, then their first reply was telling me to reinstall the game to fix all my problems (Ticket Closed.) Hold the fuck on a_Customer_Service_Bot_01, did that. Still have the errors. Went back and forth a bit more and eventually got a "we are aware of the problem and working on a fix" which I guess is better than nothing, but mostly I think was meant to just keep me quiet.
So hopefully they are not just talking strait out their ass and somebody is actually working on the problem.
But honestly, who knows. Can't say as I have much faith in Gumi nowadays.

God damn the UI improvements are nice. Units->Manage Spheres auto sorts by "equipped spheres". That's the latest one I've used and only one I can remember, but there are about 5 or 6 other small things that immediately came across as "This is how it should work". The arena team thing is super nice, but it's making it harder to pick "farm" teams; i.e. I can't find someone farming items with Zelnite because the arena teams are always set (I think). I don't understand the helper squad yet, but w/e.
There are a bunch of spheres up in the MP exchange hall, but they seem expensive since value of points basically halved and the way to earn MP stayed the same (imp keys etc, don't ask my logic on it, it makes sense to me).
Hit 15000 points last night in WVA with relative ease for the overall attempt. Holy shit was getting from 14000 to 15000 a fucking grind. I must have spent 10 minutes on each orb just clicking refresh to get to an opponent worth some points. There are some huge breakpoint from a point standing point of view... I was Exalted [Rank7] and still getting Glorified [Rank5] (2 ranks and ~9k to ~5k below my points) and I'm still getting a ton of Exalted [Rank7] while I'm Worshipped [Rank8] and getting near Consecrated [Rank9]. I think i've seen one Sanctified [Rank10] while scanning through. I'm still gonna make the push for the buffer jewel at 20k, because I'm already at 14 and I should make another ~3k today without too much effort. It sucks that you need 3k+ for the 200pts and I can't even reliably find opponents at 1k above me. Maybe it's because any idiot willing to sink this much effort into getting to Rank10 has already powered through (gemmed through) rank 9 and there isn't anyone left in that bracket.

Grats man!
Just got the Water unit myself...looks the the Buffer Jewel should still be in reach for me despite me missing a day and a half due to patch day bugs. I'm hoping at least....and hoping that it doesn't slow down too much toward the end.
