Regarding the Multiplayer Update

We previously announced that Multiplayer Mode would be implemented starting from February 2017.

However, in order to make further adjustments and optimizations, we will unfortunately need to postpone this update to April 2017.

We deeply apologize for this delay. We will provide more information regarding Multiplayer Mode and other new additions in the near future!

Thank you for your patience as we do everything to make it worth the wait for you all!

Are they gonna pull this BS with every HSC from now on? I thought the WOFF thing was a one time schtick, guess not...rather irritating.

EDIT: Okay, calmed down some. Intense rounds of Monster Hunter don't help stress levels.

First off, I really do think they've reached a new low with this HSC. Before the WOFF set there were also other past medals that could grant multiplier bonus. Now it's "Draw or Suffer! MUAHAHAHA!" And the Draw has no Mercy Pull either, which is also bad. I'm saving my Jewels on this one. At least with the WOFF set they all have good abilities. This set...well, Shark has high cost and F&J are a joke in the "Kill it in one turn" meta we have. I did manage to get 9.33 Mil score without the multiplier medals, but with 2 weeks to the Event, I doubt my score is top 5k material. Farewell SDGB and Magic Gem.

The Multiplayer delay is understandable. They wanna make sure it works right, I'm okay with that. I'd kinda forgotten it was coming this month tbh, so it's more of a reminder to me that it's coming soon.

Re: 2/17 - Unchained ? ENG Update: Epic Medal Carnival, High Score Event, Multiplayer Delayed

When will Terra&Ven HSC return from war.

We're like 3 HSC behind JP ver?
* I actually hope that Young Xeha one will be on the week when KH2IKairi come out because thats my only chance to get him gulted if we wont have M&B*

But oh well, one more week to save jewels!

Up: Also these are good speed medals, too bad that none of the good balanced/mixed keyblade actually have the upright slots

Re: 2/17 - Unchained ? ENG Update: Epic Medal Carnival, High Score Event, Multiplayer Delayed

How very boring this is. I'd be interested in the key art but nah, never gonna get it anyway so why bother.

Oh i just noticed that part and LOL
I hope it's a one time thing that they put 2 premiums in one deal with sacrificing guaranteed thing.

Re: 2/17 - Unchained ? ENG Update: Epic Medal Carnival, High Score Event, Multiplayer Delayed

Like everyone else. I'm very mad about this...

Once again, it's 1 step forward (adding dots to premium medals in draw) and 5 steps backward (no guaranteed premium within a certain amount of draws, HSC bonuses only for medals in EMC).

They're pretty much rubbing it in our faces that we can't take advantage of the 1 small improvement they made by making it impossible to get those medals. Needless to say, I won't be doing any draws in the EMC. I'm just going to keep saving my jewels for anniversary.

Honestly I can't believe I'm still playing this game. I'm probably just going to keep saving my jewels until the 1st anniversary events. Then I'll spend them all and probably stop playing. I'm fed up with the bullshit that SENA keeps feeding us. And KHX Back Cover made things worse. It was massive let down. Nothing happened at all in it. They only created more questions. Clearly, they're trying to force us to play KHUX to keep up with the story. I'll just check in here often to read up on story updates.

Frankly, everything to do with KHX/KHUX/Back Cover has put a very bad taste in my mouth for KH. They're thoroughly ruining a series that I love. All of has actually made me want to abandon the KH fandom. I'm sick of being treated differently from the Japanese fans. And I have no doubt that When KH3 finally comes, Japan is going to get all the awesome collector's editions stuff and the rest of us are going to be left high and dry... again.

Fully understand. You have to hit SENA where it hits. Their greed. Their wallets. I am not spending a dime on this or anything else...unless an unbelievable deal on a Avatar Board comes along...until the Anniversary and KH2 Kairi. And with our luck, the Anniversary stuff will be just as disappointing. Hoping against hope.

Re: 2/17 - Unchained ? ENG Update: Epic Medal Carnival, High Score Event, Multiplayer Delayed

Shame that there's no mercy pull, but whatevs... saving for Kairi 2 anyways. Pulled once just to see what the odds were, and they're really not that great as I thought. Managed to get a boosted Donald Halloween B, so that was kinda nice... idk why I get so many Donalds boosted...XD

High score with only new medals from the emc for a bonus sucks, but at this point I don't expect much from SENA anymore.

Multi-player I understand since ish a new system they're implementing, so I wasn't expecting it to really release February anyways.

Not to mention KH 3 will probably release first in Japan like with 2.8, and the internet will be swarming with spoilers before we get a chance to play again. XD You're right, Unchained X was pretty much the last straw for me... if Nomura wasn't a good storyteller, I'd have given up on this series long ago. It's sad that they don't care.

Re: 2/17 - Unchained ? ENG Update: Epic Medal Carnival, High Score Event, Multiplayer Delayed

Welp, not doing anything with jewels. How sad.

 

[hlc1988]

Re: 2/17 - Unchained ? ENG Update: Epic Medal Carnival, High Score Event, Multiplayer Delayed

I just did a pull.

I got a Boosted Ursula with three dots as well as Ursula again with three dots. Guilted her. Awesome. Though the guilt only came out at 81% but still guilted her so that's good!

 

[catcake]

Re: 2/17 - Unchained ? ENG Update: Epic Medal Carnival, High Score Event, Multiplayer Delayed

Yeah pretty annoying that there are no other medals for score bonus, definitely not pulling. I'll just grab my magic mirrors and forget the HSC exists after that, not worth wasting jewels for.

Re: 2/17 - Unchained ? ENG Update: Epic Medal Carnival, High Score Event, Multiplayer Delayed

How do you get to the higher scores in the High Score Challenge? I've managed to get my keyblades boosted to 35%. Is it all about boosting your keyblade with the relevant medals? And what is the best keyblade suited for the High Score Challenge? I've been using 3 wishes and managing to defeat all the enemies so far...

If you can defeat all the enemies, then as far as I know the only thing you can do is try to use more medals that give boost. With 35% and beating all the enemies, I'd say you're probably pretty high in the rankings already?

Re: 2/17 - Unchained ? ENG Update: Epic Medal Carnival, High Score Event, Multiplayer Delayed

I just can't get over 8,9 million, no matter what I try. Nobody in our party pulled this time so I can't boost my score. uggh

I'm in the 400's. And I've got three of the medals that give boost.

I seem to usually get good draws whenever I pull. I don't know why.

There's actually a decent amount of depth to the HSCs beyond the basic "beat as many as you can with boosts." You get more points the more damage you to do enemies and your score is further multiplied by the medal's 'Damage Multiplier.'

There are tutorials online that would be far better at explaining it than I could so I'll just leave it to them. I'd recommend looking into it, it can make a difference. Right now, on my 2nd try I'm a little past 10mil by using an Ursula for my friend medal (I don't want to draw, gambling isn't my thing) and I didn't beat them all.

And therein is the problem issue. You used Ursula. You paid for a pull to get Ursula. SENA is forcing people to purchase pulls in order to rank high in the HSC. Without Ursula or other pull medals, your chances are slim. I'm sorry, but that is just wrong.
