Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

What an awful banner. Well, I called this, so no surprises.
Either way, I'm happy with my first pull.

Am i missing why this is a bad banner i mean these are all guaranteed tier 7s sure theres a chance you wont get the one you want but at least their good, congrats on the riku btw thats my second thing i may try for

but anyway id take this banner over each of these being a 5 turn pull individually thats for sure,

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

One thing. I asked one thing. Now I get this Oogie Boogie minigame of a banner. Sure, I will get a good Medal either way. But I wanted one specifically, and I'm sort of peeved this russian roulette had to happen with the one I wanted.

Spoiler Show

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

It's a good banner, definitely bait, but definitely better than a lot of stuff we got lately. Will try to pull Riku since I waited a long time for him and 3000 jewels for a Tier 7 medal is despite the circumstances still good (expected a sloppy made falling price deal). Need to restrain myself since I also want to throw a desperate amount of jewels into the foretellers, hoping to get EA40 on something and whatever I have as a rest then, will be thrown into Xion EX. Since I'm hoping it's a falling price deal, I'll try to pull 8 times, roughly 18k jewels, I don't think she's worth going all-out. Not because she isn't super op but I just don't expect a good deal from there. We got jewels and a better droprate for Kex because Sena wanted to gloss over the fact they released her way too early (most people expected her for Christmas). Since we know that there'll be Xion EX for a while now and Sena tends to focus on deals with crappy pull rate lately, I expect her for Christmas with Tier4+ medals, drop rate like any other EX medals and "we are so generous" 3000 jewels on top. If she even releases on Christmas, maybe even earlier without extra jewels. The way the current meta flows I'd suggest to just have fun, try to get the medals you want and don't be mad if Sena screwed up again (not that one could, lol).

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

I don't get how this is bad either? Like sure, your dream medal isn't guaranteed, still you're guaranteed a Tier 6-7 medal in one pull instead of some 5-10 pull mercy. This is especially good since all we have is guaranteed Tier 4 medals otherwise.

...also please bring back copy medals that copy the previous medal and not the next medal ._. I already have three of those...

We didn't get 2 copy medals that copy the previous medal - the Halloween Town HSC medals. And they're T4, so…

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

I don't necessarily mean bring back literally xD I certainly wouldn't be opposed to brand new Tier 7 copy medals that copy the previous medal

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

I decided to spend my jewels on this banner, because Days Riku would benefit me a lot.

...But I didn't get Days Riku. I got every single other medal. =/ I got a Boosted HD Vanitas, so that's nice. But I NEED Days Riku for Fairy Stars.

 

[catcake]

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

Meh, guess I'll login daily to get to one pull just to see what I get. Still not enough to get me back to the global game. They had so many chances and blew them all, too late now. HMPH. Not like I could even do anything there without Kairi. I bet I'll get Larxene or Zexion, don't want either.

 

[Harmonie]

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

I've spent ALL of my jewels now and still NO Days Riku.

I'm really unhappy with this game right now. In JP he was guaranteed in five pulls with the Roxas banner. If they were going to turn around release him so soon, why not just have included him in that banner? Or is Days Riku intentionally harder to get than the others? I'm thinking quite possibly, I only got one upright medal - HD Final Form Sora, and I only got him once, with one orb. The reverse medals are so much easier to get. I know there's more of them, but the ratio of what I got doesn't make any sense.

At the end of the day, I feel like I wasted jewels on this banner. I'm sure that Illustrated Xion EX is now right around the corner. I justified using my jewels on this banner because I knew that Days Riku would benefit me greatly because I already have Kairi EX, and if I got him my FS setup would be great, meaning I wouldn't need Illustrated Xion EX as much... But now here I am, without Days Riku. Without even a traited HD Final Form Sora... and in fact with a bunch of traited Reverse medals which I probably won't get to actually use because now I have no jewels for Illustrated Xion EX.

Should have just put Days Riku in the Roxas banner! Darn it.

Out of all I've seen, I'd say people got Zexion or Larxene like at least 60 % of the time.
How surprising, eh?

 

[DarkosOverlord]

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

To be clear: I don't think nor say that this banner is bad or that I will not get any strong medal. I don't have the one I got my eyes on, and a huge part of why I play Ux is to get medals I like before medals that are strong. Hence the disappointment about not getting a banner focused on my medal.

 

[keyblademaster42]

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

Honestly i think this is the Best banner we have had in quite a long time i think people will eb upset because they arnt get getting the exact specific medal they want or need but hey you cant go wrong pulling from this banner,

Side Note Harmonie im really sorry you didnt pull your Riku for your fairy stars. but have you have considered for your set up on fairy stars, Vanitas, Ex kairi, Bond sky Beginning, Copycat Xion, Powerful upright speed medal? i mean if you just put another copycat medal where riku would go woundnt you get the Desired outcome in damage possibly more

 

[Muke]

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

Uh, best banner? Certainly not.. Look at Harmonie. She pulled so many times and didn’t get the medal she wanted. sure, getting one of them with each pull guaranteed is nice and all, but I don’t think this is the best banner.

I’m sorry, Harmonie :/

I'm really sorry for you bad, bad Sena!
Until now I wondered where the catch it. It might not be the best banner under the sun, but Sena giving us guaranteed high tier medals kinda made me look for a catch. If the whole banner is basically a promotion for Xion EX by dropping mainly Reverse Medals, I found the catch. I feel kinda stupid for having thought for a second that the odds are 1/5.

EDIT: One of my party members pulled 10 times, 6 Larxene. Another pulled 15 times, not a single Vanitas.

Btw, what kind of shitty name is "debut medal deal"? At first I actually thought they upped the beginner deals. Like, isn't every newly introduced medal, I dunno, NEW and makes a DEBUT?

Yeah, that's the entire thing. "I don't understand why people are unhappy with this banner, sure you won't get the Medal you want" boom, that's it. You answered yourself.
And I didn't even think about Xion coming. Man I am torn now.

Pulled Zexion btw. Now MAYBE I can get to 3k again before the end of the deal, but at this point I wonder whether I should.

 

[catcake]

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

See that's exactly the reason mercy > rng. 15k jewels for guaranteed Days Riku is fair. Same deal for FF Sora, HD Vanitas. You get to save for the specific medals you want and need, not pull something that's sure maybe strong and all, but depending on your setups could be mostly useless. I have pulled "good" medals that I can't fit into any setup - and of course all of them with 0-2 dots so with the little amount of brooms we get it's not realistic to guilt them all. Barely even one of them.

To me, there's not a single doubt this deal is WAY inferior to Roxas EX & Riku deal jp got. The one that I, and many others, were waiting for. I was also waiting for FF Sora and HD Vanitas. Trying to come up with setups and which would fit into it best. Instead once again, we got rng. Spend money if you want to eventually maybe after 10 Larxenes get what you want. Meh.

 

[DarkosOverlord]

Re: December 8th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

Real talk: when is this game going to implement some Wonder Trade or something? I'd happily give up my Zexion and some others for one of these apparently dozens of Larxene.
