I wonder if the 10% personal shop tax is really happening then. I should just avoid NGS news until everything is fully translated/set in stone.

It's probably because of RMT issues that are happening in JP as well.

They don't. They had some dupers trying to sell multiple copies of Guardian soul/etc/etc units and stuff but no actual RMT like Global has.

@Xaiyeon said in S8 add skydance bug:

Yep; do even the upgraded custom shifta and deband proc if available? Might want to get those too

Not really anything to gain by it. Nothing crafted shifta/deband gives work with Skydance. It specifically gives you a tick every every 10 seconds when you're in the air for more than 2 seconds.

@Tec-9-IceFox said in Luminfragment Emel Question:

Would that be a different Photoner ship UQ than what we have on Global right now?

Yep.

You need to know Shifta & Deband for Skydance to proc them. If you don't know either, none will proc, and if you only know one, only the one you know will proc.

You can grab them from the excube shop.

Shiva and Origin glares aren't out yet.

1. Swap junk augs with SSA.
2. Once your S1-5 are on, upslot to 8s.
3. Affix using the Special Factors from like, 8s melee dim weapon and whatever has phrase weak (I forgot what does) and your capsule. Bam, done.

Ming base actually has a scoring system outside of top 3 rankings. Barely passable though. Some of those titles you can see at the end are a decent performance indicator. For exemple if you have King of destruction or one of the other two top damage titles (Destroyer & Crusher I think?) or a Hero title, it's generally a safe indicator you did good even if you're not in the top 3.

Because that's where you're actually supposed to get most of your stuff from. Having basically unlimited triggers is very nice and convenient as hell for global for the sake of catching up but it's not how the game was originally made or intended to be played. Except for solo Mom/Dad & Solo PD, all aforementioned "unlimited" trigs are supposed to be pretty scarce and expensive.

@Andross said in Sega, you are starving your playerbase.:

You can literally do UH PD solo and get 1 booster or run mining base VRs with people for ultimate boosters. Stop trying to take out what little grind this game has. If everything is given to you, then there is no point in playing.

Most grinds are already hilariously simplified on Global. I get it's for the sake of catching up but it's stupid and makes most things way too eady. The Ultimate Booster grind is a problem because it's the opposite. It's artificially made longer by the absence of the exchange shop at a point where it should have been in game for a while.

@AwkwardSatori said in Sega, you are starving your playerbase.:

And UB shop is a given, honestly eonder why they're so reluctant to add it.

Because it came way later in Ep6. People have spread way too much fake news about it being a thing in late EP5/early EP6.

Also, the Ult Booster grind isn't even that hard. Go do UH PD... or better yet, spam VR triggers as it has the best rate of Ult Boosters and the highest chance for the very important S8:Skydance Support.

Who the hell expected it to be any time in EP5? It WAS early EP6 though. The earliest I remember trading photon boosters for Ult boosters on JP was sometime in August 2019. 13* units weren't around yet, Ship infiltration Ultimate wasn't around yet, Etoile wasn't around yet, most UH Emergency Quests weren't around yet, EP6 story had barely started, etc. So yes, global SHOULD have the exchange at this point.

I mostly play Global just to hang out with some friends who don't want to play JP so I don't feel like doing shittier versions of grinds I already did (especially when I could just grind for other stuff on JP with that time). Entirely true that the grind isn't hard though. Just a convenience thing.
