Bakery Sakura fiasco all over again, but this time, it's only limited to a day? idk, info's pretty sparse at the moment. sasuga SuperHippo

Now, there are some code girls that I'd consider getting at this price, but probably not this one, and if she's only limited for one day...

(Night-Maher where)

The end of FKG as we knew it? I asked in the Discord chat, DMM apparently didn't do this. Jewtaku is at it again! And this thing will happen daily? Yeah, sign me out.

Eab1990
09-05-2017, 07:16 AM
DMM didn't do this because they have the code novels.

Expecting Nutaku to provide those is silly. That's not the issue here.

Price is annoying, but would be semi-tolerable if the duration wasn't limited to 24-hours.

Also stop fucking doomsaying when this happened three months ago with Bakery Sakura.

Really wish they price her around the same price as the book, but you know Nutaku

Eab1990

If they throw in a dressbloom, it'd be no different from the past few weekly sales.

But that duration.

Don't think there are any code-limited rainbows.

Night-Maher doesn't count, but I'd be amazed if she shows up on our server at all. She'd certainly be worth $25.

Got some info about this from FB FKG group. Will re-post:

Quote:
Maybe somone missed this post so here i am talkign about it, don't buy it.
For the love of god, don't do it, this is without jokes a shameful move and nothing else.
The girl, wich is called Agave, is from a serial code that comes with the first FKG book.
The original price is just 734 yen (almost 7$) and gets sold on Nutaku for 2500 gold wich are 25$, 4 times the original price.
This is a shame and they are starting to heavily jew on FKG, this must be stopped before even starting.
End Quote

Now I honestly dont care, its your money, if you wanna spend it for a weak 4* (its been confirmed these Code Girls are weaker a level weaker than the Event girls by other people who have her, and seeing as the event girls are weaker than standard Gacha girls... so yeah).
So yeah if you are a wealthy whale who doesnt care about money, do as you please if you just want her for the collection, more power to you.

If you are a person looking to pad out a place in your team with some useful new character, you might wanna skip this one.

Taon
09-05-2017, 12:47 PM
Well, that's a bit high of a price if it's just the girl. I don't see anyone besides whale collectors going for this and more power to them; personally I don't have a "gotta get this one" feel about any of the serial code/promo girls.

I'm just hoping that they're listening to our criticisms of this plan. Releasing serial code units is good, but releasing them like this may not be ideal. I do honestly believe that they listen to what we say. While they've never outright admitted to making a marketing mistake (as far as I know), there do seem to have been changes after feedback. For instance, the rewards for ranking plan was never mentioned again after everyone threw a fit over the idea. Bakery Sakura was re-released (albeit, for a ridiculous price (that I admittedly gave into)) after the backlash to her limited gacha.

With luck, getting feedback now BEFORE they release it gives them the chance to make it more agreeable for us.

Pretty much my thoughts on the ordeal. Besides the price, they haven't set anything in stone yet, so I'm nowhere near as outraged as I would've been half a year ago. If they're set on $25, they should at least add a little extra.

But like I said in chat, there's a severe lack of info on how these daily deals will turn out in the future. We don't know if they'll rotate them weekly, if we're going back to the regular sales after a week, etc. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to the order they're releasing them either.

game2534
09-05-2017, 06:22 PM
Yeah, it's pretty much get your waifu deal. She has almost zero combat power, you can't increase her skill lv. and equip slots unless you use bloom. (Which, you guys really gonna do that?) If they don't have at least something attached to this price besides girl herself, then it just too much.

sniddy

Heck $25 for a skill 5 equip 4 version would be too much

Seems like they're testing the waters, hopefully don't get many bites

If the unit's stats were comparable to other 5* units, I would disagree. We typically expect to pay around $20 for a 5* ticket; $5 more for a fully-bloomed limited unit seems decent, but as I said only if that units stats meant it would actually see use. Otherwise the blooms don't really mean anything.

Argave released at 2500 with 25 FGs, but if you bulk buy gems they are worth 1320 NG making the cost of Argave herself 1180 NG.... not terrible as a deal if you are a collector.

Eab1990
09-07-2017, 06:26 PM
It's objectively worse than step 3 in the past few step-up gachas we've had, and I can't imagine anyone playing long enough to still not have Convallaria (or any of the launch golds) and want her at this point.

But, eh... It's not exactly a ripoff, otherwise? Just exceedingly underwhelming compared to the usual weekly sales.

That was part of their summer sale, so everything was cheap as hell at that time (not just for FKG).

$2.50 for a 10% chance at a rainbow or 20% chance at a gold was the real highlight at the time.

Regardless, those are the exceptions, not the norm. Expect similar sales for Black Friday and Christmas, but don't apply them to weekly sales like this.


I started in pre-release and im still missing Bipinna Cosmos!

Do you want Bipinna Cosmos?

Silly me, of course you do. Who wouldn't want such a pure maiden, free of impure thoughts and fantasies? *cough*

Cosmos was my first gold, and since then, I've gotten maybe three or so dupes? So yeah.

Of all the launch golds though, I've only pulled one Oncidium ever. Everyone else, I've pulled multiple dupes of, except Violet with only one dupe. Still, pretty weird for a gold you'd expect literally every veteran to have.

Agreed, it's definitely way better than the previous daily deals.

Now I just hope we'll also get some bargains on dressblooms along the way. Possibly because I just grabbed Apricot, the biggest available upgrade to my main unit. A couple of other rainbow girls would've been dupes for unlocking jewelry slots, while the rest of the 6*s available would only serve as concubines.

I was still convinced I would never pay for this kind of game (even if I support those who do, keep the game alive), but then I saw that there is a 500+free500 deal, so that would make a 6* at 5€.

And now, I'm looking which girl to chose!!!!!

Yeah, it's a good deal.
Enough for me to waver between my rule not to pay for f2p games and support the publishers in hope we get more content faster.

After a quick look it seems the middle option (in Poland) supports Przelewy24, a service that's the least intrusive out of all the other options.
Keep in mind that the second option adds a little to the price, even though it's a small amount.
I wonder why they didn't integrate PayPal as well.

Eab1990 already put together a pretty comprehensive list of "top-ranked" girls with bloomed forms to consider that you might consider looking at:

Personal recommendation for Hit: Dendrobium, no question. For Pierce: Saffron.

hypo

Let's go with Saffron, she has a nice set skill set with the Bloomed form.

09-09-2017, 07:52 AM
Hmm since I got 500 gold just sitting and wasting there... I didnt wanna spend here anytime soon, but this is a very good deal all thing previous considered so getting those extra 500 is not so bad. Alright I´ll bite.
Not yet sure whom I wanna pick, Victoria Bride is always tempting but we´ll see, since I could do with some none slice girls of which I have rather big margin when it comes to team balance.

Edit: Decided to go with Saffron. Since I am short on Pierce 6*. She has good looks, good voice, and her post bloom skills are insane (pre Bloom is relatively solid as well). Good deal.

I passed on the 1000 NG Rainbows. Whilst a fantastic price, it just didn't seem right to just pick whatever Rainbow I wanted given I have 5 already and not all Amped/L70 yet. It felt like a slippery slope - e.g., buying a Rainbow every week till I got them all, which then defeats some of the point of the game (the hope/luck of the 10+1 draw for example).

A once/twice a year sale like Black Friday sure, but a semi-regular Daily Deal (and I admit I don't know how often the 1000NG deal will be repeated yet) didn't feel right for me.

In the end, I passed on the deal as well.
If it would be some sort of a conditional achievement then I'd be all for getting a pick-your-6* ticket, but just like you said, it felt a bit odd to buy your luck however skewed it'd normally be.
I only have 2 gacha-drawn rainbows (3 in total, counting Alstroe Maria) and there's just something satisfying in seeing the pot turn rainbow when you're not really expecting it to.

I can't help but chuckle at the idea that the Rainbow-Ticket is their rare, carrot-on-a-stick, telling everyone to, "Log in everyday for a chance at a super discount 6*!" just like those tv commercials, telling you to buy one, get one free (while supplies last :p).

1500 for a dressbloom when they already did a 1000 for a 6* that could have counted as a dressbloom AND skillbloom...... I honestly think this deal is stupid. Possibly because the 1k 6* was too good and should have been 2k, but still it seems stupid to me.

yep was ass backwards. 10 for dress 15 for girl would make sense.
I bought both. 25 for the package is good deal.

Highly doubt we'll be seeing the $10 rainbow ticket again for at least another month tbh. I feel like that was just a special to break in the daily deals.
Wouldn't mind to be proven wrong, but I believe the next time a rainbow ticket/girl shows up it's going to be far more expensive.

Dont hate man. Being jolly of someones good fortune is understandable, since not all of us swim in dosh. But dont hate on him for that >__>


I myself wont go for this, since I already picked up that 6* with half the cost being covered by some leftover gold.
Hope we get the Dress bloom for 40 FKG again eventually. Have been sitting on them since the last time, currently have enough for two, still need more for the 3rd.

1500 gold for a rainbow dressbloom is a pretty good deal
I'd call it a "normal" deal, just like 5,000-6,000 NGold is the "normal" price for a Rainbow girl.
1,000-1,500 Ngold are exceptionally low prices for Rainbow girls on Nutaku. People who like to compare other sales to that rate will see sales that satisfy them only 3-4 times a year.

If you think 1,000 NGold is the norm for Rainbow girls, then I suggest you stop daydreaming. Just look through the deals we've had during the past year, and you'll find the norm to get through the guaranteed rainbow stage on the weekend deals was 5,000 to 7,000 NGold. Sometimes that last stage was only about 1,000 NGold, but in those cases, there were usually a couple of pay-wall steps totalling 4,000-5,000 NGold before them.

A 5,000 Dressbloom, now that would be a bad joke. 1,500 is roughly the regular price, though we usually got some gacha-pull thrown in with those.

Yeah, no. Considering you can't even get dressblooms normally on DMM, it doesn't make sense for them to be that cheap here either. Drip is correct.

At most, they've sold gold dressblooms for $30 and rainbow dressblooms for $50 at certain times. The last time they had that offer though, they dropped the latter's price to $40.

So that deal was indeed -70% off. Whether or not you agree with it is a different matter, but it was a consistent price, unlike some other Nutaku sales.

I was slightly tempted by this deal even, to get her last equipmentslot.

I still think her design is shit (too edgy in a bad way, unlike, say, Overwatch's Reaper), which is pretty telling when fucking Mimosa exists.

No, I get it, it's just...weird. Even as a joke, the daily deal would equate 1 heart = 1 FG assuming a 66% sale, and 1 heart being worth even less below that. I'm not clamoring for compensation; I'm not terribly big on the idea short of large-scale fuckups that result in the game being unexpectedly down for hours on end or game-breaking bugs, etc.

I agree that the joke seems to have fallen flat. Didn't stop me from dropping 100 NG on this though. :)

But think about this: 3 Hearts for 100 NG was a pretty decent deal; a lot of people probably jumped on this one regardless of there being a bug. So, let's simplify things since none of us has hard sales data and say that 50% of people who regularly spend money on the game bought the deal before the bug was fixed. Once the bug became known, lets be generous and say that 25% of the people who usually -don't- spend money on the game then purchased the deal before it got fixed.

If Nutaku hadn't fixed the bug, yeah, they'd have made a decent bit from the people who usually don't buy; but they likely wouldn't be able to offer this deal again for a very, very long time; it was just way too many hearts to let go for only $1. Nutaku will end up making more money by fixing the bug and reselling the deal, and they know this perfectly well.

As for offering the 2nd tier gifts as a followup deal? Nutaku knows perfectly well that people would buy it whether there was a bug or not, but honestly I'd be surprised if they offered a deal for the gifts before there was a way to earn them in-game; sure people would buy it, but there'd rightly be a pretty big shitstorm about it too.

Drip
09-22-2017, 07:08 AM
I can't say whether 3 hearts for 100 NG was a good deal or not, since we do not know yet how easily these things will be to obtain within the Nutaku version of the game. For all we know, they could only be available through NG/FG transactions at 1FG or 100NG a piece, with the current LC deal (I got one from there as well) being a temporary introduction. So yeah, I grabbed this deal, just in case.

Anyway, more important matter is: who to apply these hearts to.
1. Waifu, that's obvious, so Acacia got one.
2. Fritillaria. She's a keymember of the first squad in my Whale team, so it's only good if she gets better.
3. Cymbidium. Also a member of the first squad in my Whale team. Her 2x passive is also unreplacable, so, as a 5*, she definitely needs the boost to keep up
4. Southern Cross. She's with Acacia in my debuff-squad. Also the only girl with a bloomed form available who I actually use in my main unit, and her debuff is only shared with Gentian. Southern Cross is the way better unit of the two.
5. Hypericum. I really don't want to replace the most awesome ninja evah with a rainbow, so this counter-girl gets a buff to keep up with the 6*'s
6. I had one squad left in my main unit that didn't have a girl with 2nd affection unlocked, so last heart went to Alpinia. I'm sure she'll benefit from it.

Myrdin
09-22-2017, 07:21 AM
I gave the one freebie to Alpinia. While not a Waifu, she is indispensable member of my team, and has an emotional value to me as she was the first 6* I pulled and was the only one I pulled for a Year before I got Appricot relatively recently.
Plus she is 5/5 4/4 with almost maxed out event equipment so yeah. Clear choice.

Even if it were the 1,000 gold cost of the previous, I really don't have any of the current rainbow characters that I need/want. Sure, I could get a couple with some nice abilities, but for waifu factor, I'm pretty much content at the moment. I'll wait until they add more before I spend. I'm not interested in duping my characters, so I won't bother with that.

If Epidendrum were available, I might have been tempted...

Really should get a 2nd pierce 6*

That or victoria bride, off to research them now

So, Anemone, counter at 2x and def boost
Ionocidium - attack boost and dodge
OR Saffron same but better stats, just a slight dip on the attack boost but only 3% so saffron over Ion
Snowdrop for the minus attack handy on the bigger bosses but...not really doing it

OR

Victoria bride attack and dodge and I do like the brides...

Should be a pierce and while I think Saffron is the slighly better choice, I like Anemones looks better - so welcome to the party Anemone

Anemone is great for bosses with low hp (the 1 hp per hit ones) because she hits 3 times, she is also great as your last girl in the squad to clean up anything that is missed because she can target the same enemy 3 times or 3 different enemies.

Saffron is nice because blooming is just around the corner and she has a bloom form with dodge and counter skills.

Stats aside I prefer Anemone for looks as well.

Anemone is awesome!
Other piercers I like:
Daisy: she's innocent in a lewd manner and deals IMBA damage.
Snowdrop: One of the most "normal" girls available, but her debuff helps more than a Defense bonus against the tougher bosses. (A debuff squad is pretty strong overall)
Burning Bush: must-have for trigger-squads.
Mei Plumblossom: Together with Cattleya, she's a must-have on your whale-ship team. A guaranteed solarblast at the start, though I'd advice saving it against the smaller pests and help your squad get through those, instead of using it on the ancient bosses (it deals relatively very little damage against ancients)

Overall, I think all Pierce-rainbows are well-rounded units, so it's more a matter of personal tastes regarding their design and the strategies you use within your squads. If you don't play with a trigger-squad, then Burning Bush suddenly becomes a lot less interesting. If you don't use Solar Blasts, then Mei Plumblossom and Hollyhock become a lot less interesting..

Bear in mind however that solar blasts become a lot more useful in the future (they are definitely lackluster now).
They are lackluster, but at the same time, they are noticable. I'm lvl 150 now, and the Solar Blast wipes out lvl 45 pests, making it comparable to the AOE of a lvl 70 Rainbow girl.
For the first squad in my Whaleship, I use my trigger-squad, in an attempt to kill as many of the pests on the first round as I can. Last time, they were just a bit short, but a solarblast would get rid of 1 or 2 of the three. The downside of my triggersquad is, that I never really invested in their defence, other than by giving them jewelry, so if I don't use Solar Blasts, they tend to loose a couple of units along the way. If it's Cymbidium or Fritillaria who's lost, then that really cripples the performance of the entire squad. Which is why I keep investing quite heavily in the offense of that squad. For glass cannons, offense is the best defense.

My debuff squad would probably last longer without the Solar Blasts, but it deals less damage per combat round, which means fights take longer, making it more suitable against bosses.

Just to make sure there's no misunderstanding, I'm not saying solar blasts are useless; only that they'll get better in the future, so don't necessarily discount girls that modify the SB/shines drop rates.

Everyone's situation is different which is why I offered my alternative opinion on using Solar Blast on whaleship maps: in contrasting with your squad my main squad (consisting of Dendrobium, Saffron, Acacia, Iberis and Alpinia) rarely loses any of its members (Acacia and Iberis are typically the first to die since I've not put any ampies or blooms into them while the other three are maxed on ampies with full skillblooms and one dressbloom away from 4/4 and almost maxed jewelry). My squad though is pretty much all about brute force since I swap out Acacia and Iberis for Sakura and Cherry for RB events and I've been too lazy to cook up a more fine-tuned squad; Scotch Broom will probably take Iberis' place in the near future. In my case, I have the luxury of not needing the SB for the small pests so I looked for a way to boost the survivability of the whaleship since the final outcome is way too dependent on the overall RNG for the whaleship special attacks (if the first two encounters were mostly just the side cannons, then the final encounter would leave the whaleship dangerously low on health).

I guess this should be a separate discussion, but in short Drip, I absolutely agree with your assessments as they relate to certain scenarios; I only wanted to illustrate that usage of the SB on whaleship missions isn't necessarily one-size-fits all. :)

I can only offer anecdotal evidence with a caveat: I haven't seen Saffron dodge anything since the update, but the only reliable place I could see that are whaleship missions since with the other maps it's pretty rare for any group of pests to survive a first turn face-full of Dendrobium's fist, Acacia's buzzsaws and/or Saffron's shooting gallery. If tomorrow's update doesn't fix it I'll test it in depth on the next bout of whaleship missions.

You know, I'm still convinced that the stam bug is not just visual. Let me explain:

This week-end, at different times, I logged in with more way more stamina that I should have had at that moment, like 170 instead of 70-90.
So I run an event stage, and I get a bonus stage. With what I used at my previous login, I should not have enough stam fro that bonus.
BUT, if I enter the bonus stage at that moment, I get a loading screen freeze, then I refresh the page, and I still have the wrong amount of stamina and I can then enter the bonus stage.

After that, I hit the gatherings, and the counter changes with the "visual" bug.

If I went to gatherings before starting my stages, then I lost enough stam to no being able to do the stage.

Sorry, wall of text, but I wanted to explain that.

Now I suppose the real question is: does this bug, in any way besides being mildly annoying, negatively impact anyone? I'm not one for advocating using exploits, nor do I encourage it in this case, but if people benefit from it without penalty then I'm not going to get too worked up over it since Nutaku has demonstrated time and again that a)they can easily fix it but b) for some reason forget to do so every time there's an update of any kind of significance.

Considering how minor the benefit from 2nd affection is compared to other available upgrades (ampies, jewelry and the hopefully soon coming Bloomed Forms), it wouldn't be that odd. 30 affection gifts might be a bit much, unless they're the lowest grade 2nd afection gifts though.

Impossible. There's so many 5★ girls to choose from, there must be at least one that you like! If not, I'd recommend picking a girl with ATK UP skill or ATK DOWN skill. ATK DOWN on enemies is quite a rare skill and only a handful of girls have it so far so that'll be good.

Nope.
1. It only goes into the Bracelet slot, not into the special equipment slot.
2. It doesn't stack with abilities increasing crystal drop (which is not too uncommon, so with picking certain units, you easily get way more crystals to drop).
3. No stats.
4. You can't upgrade it (yes, it is stuck at lvl 1 forever!), so it won't get any +def or +atk that way either.
5. Even if you like to use your Solar Blast, 15% is hardly noticable. It becomes noticable once you get over about 50%, which is impossible using this bracelet, since it doesn't stack.

Hm. I wonder if the not-stacking with character ability applies to the entire squad or the character wearing it? For instance, if Hollyhock is the only crystal booster in the party (20%) it seems clear that she won't benefit from the bracelet. But what if another girl in the squad who had no boosting ability wore it; would the overall total go to 35% or would the 15% just be ignored? If it's ignored, then I don't even see the point of the bracelet.

I actually like the increased shine crystal drop rate passive, particularly since I relied pretty heavily on Bipinna Cosmos' use of it, way back in the early days when she was my main gold.

But yeah, in light of all that, it's probably not worth getting. Particularly when we should be getting it for free with some map later (that we should've had ages ago, but I digress).

Still, nothing worth fussing over. We did just get a $1 gold deal earlier. Having shitty deals to balance out the good ones is nothing unusual.

5*'s with unique abilities:
1. Cymbidium. By far the best 5* around with her 2x trigger rate on the first round for the entire party. Dendrobium's variation only applies to Dendrobium herself, not the rest of the squad.
2. Chocolate Cosmos & Lantana for their Chocolate Healing nodes.
3. Strawberry Candle for her Solar Shrine nodes. (only really interresting if you actually use Solar Blast, but if you do, she spawns upto 3 shrines each filling half your solar power bar)
4. Southern Cross & Gentian with their Trigger Rate Debuff. (they're event girls though, so not subjects for your ticket)

I think that's a win for Choco then. (I already have Strawberry Candle and Cymbidium).
Of course, now I remember as I flip through the list of a couple of others that had been interesting at one time or another but that I didn't have the luck to roll (Japanese Iris, for one) but I'll go with Choco.

I'd guess the 5* ticket was supposed to be 1000 NG and this Gold Skillbloom was supposed to be 100 NG, but they got swapped. Or maybe they are that stupid? I dunno...
