■ About Trait Medals 
・Trait Medals will only yield a new trait or one Special Attack dot when they are fused into their corresponding Medal. Trait Medals have different stats and abilities from their corresponding Medal. 
・Trait Medals are not equippable on a Keyblade due to their high cost. While they can be equipped as a Pet Slot Medal or shared, they are not suited for, or intended to, use as an attack Medal. 
・Each Trait Medal is worth 15 Pet Points. 
・Should you receive a Trait Medal from a deal, it will come marked as being "BOOSTED." 
・Trait Medals and their corresponding Medals share a slot in the Album. 
・During a High Score Challenge, or other event, where a Trait Medal's corresponding Medal is a Score Bonus Medal, the Trait Medal will also give the same score bonus.

Re: June 18th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

Diamond Dust Boosters!! YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!

UC Without Hard Boss times and the extra Mirror board is copypasted and thus even more ludicrous to complete due to the aforementioned lack of easy grinding sessions? NOOOOOOOOOO!!

Seriously, whoever thought that having the same requirements for the Special Mirror Board as the Raid Boss one for the UC week clearly doesn't play the UC mode itself. Each run gives less coinage than the Raid Boss. Like...less than half, even counting not being able to take out the arms of the Darkside giving you a max of 2000 coins instead of 3000. So less than 1000 per run unless you get really lucky with Egg spawns and are good enough to solo all the missions within the various time limits. And even similar missions have randomized mook spawns between them so it's not like you can memorize what goes where in terms of exact enemy placement outside of the boss for the most part.

This wouldn't be so bad if we had the Extra Hard Boss times, because if you can get a good solid group together with maybe a few whales on the team, even a rank newbie can rack up tons of coinage if you speed through the bosses fast enough. It's possible to get over 50k Coins a session if you get a really good party, I've done it multiple times. So theoretically if you hit all the bonus times you could rack up the coinage to not only complete all the regular boards, but make solid headway and maybe even complete the crazy Mirror Board within the week and still have time in between to do IRL stuff for the most dedicated players.

But we don't. We have the higher Egg spawns, but that's not as reliable or fast. Someone would have to effectively "no life" the game this week to complete that Mirror Board with how it demands well over One Million Coins to fully complete. For 15 Mirrors. Not worth it, at all. That's insane.

On the bright side, we do get Diamond Dust Boosters this week and I am all over that. First board I'm completing, no questions asked. I already got enough coins for 2 of the Booster nodes and I CAN FEEL THE POWER!!! It's amazing. Also the Chirithy Snuggly is cute, and it's interesting that the Crit Perk is getting a spotlight. I don't see it being as useful as the Skill Perk, but it's a nice option and might become better as more Max Skills come out. But with TT being highly desired in PvP and there not being a Max version of that (mercifully), Skill Perk still better.

Also, we have the return of the SGs! If I wasn't saving for a Reverse Magic Prime, I'd be all over that SG4 since now that I have my Prime Axel at 7* I could make a sweet Single Target setup on my Darkgnaw and go absolutely ham with it while still having an AoE offensive medal that matches the slot multipliers to cover some bases. But the Primes come first, and if they've rerun them once they'll do it again. I can wait on Roxas.

Re: June 18th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

Yeah, no boss times really, really, really sucks. Especially since the Diamond Dust boosters are locked behind UC, which means that people that grind out forever are going to do better in PvP.

Just really not liking the direction this game is taking. Of course I know this is temporary, but still.

Yep, very upset the direction this game has been heading. Only thing I'm doing is loggin in and holding on to see where it ultimately ends up at. No more VIPs, no more pulling for every medal offered, and no chasing after the whole PvP and 7* scenario. I don't play PvP. I do the required 3 rounds for my daily jewels, so why should I go through all my Chip and Dales, Magic Mirrors and Mickey and Brooms to work on a medal that is only useful for PvP?

No more money for SENA until the game changes for the better...if it does at all.

Re: June 18th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

I dont See what your upset at First of all we Beat Japan in Stage 1. second of all we lost are bonus hours so it can be equal ground competition. it goes right back to normal Next week for your do all the boards for 30 minutes till your hearts content, right now you just have to do about 8 mission by yourself to get the diamond dust booster, thats like what 30 extra minutes to the time, its easy

Third Union isnt that bad, its quite fun seeing how people try to do there set ups then forget they left it on theres and didnt do a back swich with there last game to win, its fun. Ive been free to play since october and even then i only bought teh vip i think 4 times, and i have the medals appropriate, like i actually just used my tier 3 fairies to evolve malifecent B and man is it destroying top 3000, next might be Demyx B

Plus theyve been giving us events, which is very nice, idk how youre so upset at this game Leopardess

It's true that getting the booster was a lot easier than I assumed. However, for me for months now Union Cross has just been a simple thirty minute session during a bonus boss time where I can almost just let it run itself while I do other things. With the way it is this week, I don't get that luxury. It requires a lot of grinding and it requires me to pay more attention to it when I'm used to being able to do other things.

I couldn't care less about it making the competition "equal ground". TBH, I couldn't care less about the competition altogether. Why does it even matter? There's no reason it should have to mess up UC like this for even one week.

I never mentioned UC. I enjoy UC, and it wasn't difficult at all to get the DD boosts. I prefer the 30 minute bonus, but all in all, no problem. UC is one of the things I still enjoy in the game.

However, I'm with Harmonie on this whole competition with JP thing. I detest PvP because of the competition against other players, and I don't care for the competition with JP. Bad idea, rotten implementation. Sorry, it's how I see it. To me, all this "competition" nonsense is to take the place of the lack of real content, like Story Quests. Early in the game, we had massive Story Quests uploads at least twice a month, if I remember correctly. What happened? I can tell you what happened. Greed. Easier to sell 7* medals to place on blades you would never use anyway, just to advance in PvP. The entire focus of the game is totally on PvP, and everything surrounding it.

I refuse to buy into it. I play UC, Story Quests, any event that is worth it (the current ones for experience medals don't even count), and Coli.

Re: June 18th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

PvP is still a way to upgrade and get Keyblades you don't already have tho. I don't have Diamond Dust so this weeks PvP is an incentive for me to advance in proud mode.

I also like the seven star medals for more than PvP. They're stupidly strong.

For those who can only get Bronze tickets, Tier 1, 2 and 3 star medals leveled to tier 7 are not stronger than the better current 8 tier medals. They just aren't. I've not been able to get enough Silver to get a 4 tier medal leveled to 7, so the game is dead for PvP for me. I'm not the only one that feels that way.

 

[Harmonie]

Re: June 18th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

To be honest, if PvP ranking worked more ordinarily, I'd probably be fine with it. However, this whole someone beats you and you swap places with them is really brutal. Someone who is really strong but just happened to be ranked 1000 places behind you beats you and suddenly you're down a thousand places, and then on the last day when people are playing more, you can easily drop over several thousand places just because of this ridiculous mechanism.

There's no stability whatsoever. The game is pretty much incentivizing you to do PvP at the very last moment, otherwise you are not safe at all. Of course, some people have such killer setups that they're fine, but that doesn't apply to most of us.

You know, that coupled with the limited amount of times you can play it each day (which is, of course, doubled for people purchasing VIP) makes PvP an incredibly frustrating experience, and it makes me feel so powerless.
