Is the Illustrated Halloween Sora worth it?

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

I really like the 0 Content Campaign so far. Thanks, SENA!

Also, no. Definitely not worth it.

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

May still be lacking, but thankfully have more stuff to keep us a TINY but busier than last few weeks!

EDIT - is it me or have SENA been quiet about these 2k jewels & Mickey/Brooms medal? I know we only hit it a few days ago but today was the deadline - 12pm has just passed in UK, got my daily login and still no bonuses?

I'm sure we will be getting it this week, it's just a matter of "which day". Hoping for real soon.

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

Pretty easy gauntlet challenge. I only had difficulty on the black copters at the end, but I used my "my friends are my power!" tactic, and was able to defeat it. ( That tactic basically consists of using Counterpoint with all these buffs and debuffs at the beginning, then putting a Namine at the end so she can absorb all those buffs and pass it onto the copied "friend" medal, so it's quite the literal quote for this tactic... it easily helped me beat the camel in Proud mode+ magic quest. XD So yeah, it's a very strong tactic.)

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

Yeah I also want my jewels and stuff already was expecting to get them today but nah. Gimme now.

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

SENA is dishing out VIP medals like no tomorrow. In JP, can't you guilt them for one week of VIP? Correct me if I'm wrong, because I could be... But I think this is a really crappy business practice.

The lack of new event medals is becoming more and more obvious. I can't believe they had absolutely nothing for anniversary in that way, no reprints, no new ones, no nothing. Just more "Buy the outrageously overpriced VIP pack TWICE to guilt this exclusive medal". *sigh*

The fact that we got a jewels challenge for this week is nice, though. It feels like they've been rather spotty as of late. Still, after completing this, I can see how it will lock a lot of people out from getting the rewards.

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

You're right, in JP it's only one week.

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

The thing is, SENA gets flamed on a daily basis on Twitter. Do you think they've changed their business practice of greed? Do they listen to the community...the players that are pouring money into their pockets? No, they're not listening. So, why should I keep throwing money at them?

I'm gonna say it. I think they are purposely cruel. Players continue to beg for brooms, events, content. And SENA, they maliciously give us VIP medals and more pay banners.

Does anyone have instructions on how to get in on the JP game? How do you do it? I'm done with SENA and am willing to lie and say I live in Japan if I have to. White lie? LOL.

I can help~ What device/which operating system do you use? Apple I suppose?

Yes! A very old Apple iPad 1st Generation. LOL. So old, can't play multi-player cause it crashes when all players are hitting the Boss at once. LOL. Would appreciate any help on switching to JP. Thanks in advance.

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

Well, ok. First of all, you'll have to create an Apple ID, which you can do at appleid.apple.com!
It should be easy from there. Just type in everything, choose Japan (tell me if you don't know the kanji), and then you'll get an E-Mail.

Contact me via PM if there are any complications so we don't derail the thread any longer xDD

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

I fell for it. Pity me, for my will to this game is weak. It's like fucking gambling, man! Do I have a problem? No, like, seriously, I think I might have a problem.

Well at least you spent the money and got what you wanted. Unlike people who actually pay money for pulls for banners like the HD Namine one which IS gambling.

...Although I doubt you'll be satisfied with the amount of Illustrated Halloween Soras they gave you - not even being enough to guilt. =/ So they'll still get you.

If you do, then it wouldn't be surprising. Freemium games are intentionally designed to be addictive. There's always an aspect of these games that sets off the pleasure centers in your brain, and once you've felt that exhilaration a few times and are properly invested, then the game is designed to make it increasingly difficult to obtain that same high, similar to any other form of addiction.

In this case, we have medal pulls. Getting a good pull is extremely exciting, and that's the WOOHOO feeling that this game wants you to chase. Pulls cost jewels. Jewels, aside from straight up buying them, take time to accumulate through playing the game. That also applies for every other resource in the game, like EXP medals, evolve medals, munny, and so forth. You can build them up for free, but it takes a lot of play time. But, play the game for too long and you run out of AP and have to wait hours to play again. Eventually, you'll get fed up with waiting and think "Screw it, what's $15 to get 3000 jewels and unlock everything all at once?" and boom, the cycle begins. And as you get used to the way the game treats you once you've thrown money at it, it begins to feel normal to spend money on the game repeatedly, especially because each purchase doesn't feel that big. But over time, it adds up very very fast until you've spent hundreds of dollars without realizing it.

Ever heard of the whole "Put a frog in boiling water and it'll jump out, but set it in normal water and slowly turn the heat up and it'll just sit there and die" thing? That's the way freemium games are designed to take your money. Normal people would never pay $100 in a single transaction on a mobile game. But $15 every now and again to speed things along? Sure. And in no time, you still spend that same $100 anyway.

Price for 3000J pack is 19.53$ now because of the new tiers I posted about in another thread.
