I mean yeah, these medals would have been kind of overpowered now but making them worse versions of the medals we already have is a really bad move.

Re: Zootopia Medals and Event Arrive to Unchained X!

I bit the bullet, just because of the discounted jewel pack bringing the special quests as well. Got Nick, will get Judy next week when it all resets. I get that the medals are disappointing to most so I'm glad I'm not one to focus on the specifics of it, but rather how pretty they are.

They're nerfed from the Japanese versions of the same medals.

Well he doesn't come with a skill like poison or something (but his board has two low level scrooges on it so you can give him a skill from that if you want) but his special attack requires 3 gauges, outputs damage of x1.4, is an AOE, raises strength by 1 tier for 1 turn, and does like an aero thing when used.

Wait... why're the Medals disappointing?

They've been nerfed. Their multipliers are lower (x1.40 instead of x1.47), Judy's buff is only one stage instead of two, they have lower Guilt levels (50% instead of 100%), made field attacks instead of single-target, and it wouldn't surprise me if their STR and DEF stats are lower as well.

It's not even like they would be that overpowered (I mean, Nick is literally "slightly better DiZ" in JP), especially when NA is on a fast track to catch up with JP. The level cap's already been raised past 200, we unlocked the Strength Bangle over a 100 quests in advance, some later game Medals appeared in the release batch, Coliseum was available from launch. The game isn't even a full month out and it's already way ahead of schedule.

Why change the stats on these?

The Jewel Board rewards are nerfed as well. In JP they give you Mickey & Brooms, Broom Servants and the Hewey/Dewey/Louie trio Medal (and the Attack Up L/Ability Free skills). NA just has Cids and chipmunks (and apparently lesser skills).
That's kind of understandable, since those Medals haven't been added to the game yet.
But I have to wonder why they aren't in the game yet.

Re: Zootopia Medals and Event Arrive to Unchained X!

I've gotten Nick up to level 81/100 and he's my third most powerful medal in terms of STR (6447) and DEF (6401). KH2 Cloud (LV 45) is my strongest at a STR 7412 DEF 6973, and KH1 cloud (LV 55) is 7276 STR 6859 DEF.

Just need 5 more Cid medals on Nick and 10 extra cost points before I can have three 6* medals on my Treasure Trove.

I enjoy the medals themselves so I'm not that disappointed. Once I get that 15 extra cost for my Keyblades I'll be so happy.

And I've nearly unlocked all the male snuggly things. I'm loving this event.

That's not really worth for anything though since the special attack multiplier is so low. Buff medals don't need to be six stars in the first place, in fact by making these two medals also six stars in the NA version they are effectively blocking other more useful six star medals when you haven't bought all other jewel boards yet and aren't at least level 210 or something.

It also mucks up the balance of the Medal pool, because Judy was the Speed equivalent of Pooh for Power and Piglett for Magic.

So whenever those two are added, are they nerfed too? Will NA have to wait for a second Speed Attack Up II to show up?
The localization team seriously dropped the ball with this one.

I really don't understand why they would change anything (Avatar Coin distribution, daily schedule, story quest challenges) in the first place.

It absolutely makes no sense.

At first I thought they are balancing everything differently since the medal release order was also different at the beginning, but now it seems they just mixed this order up for no apparent reason with the newest Jewel Draw being actually worse than the one before.

They want to catch up with the Japanese version (50 story missions, newer events) and stall the medal/skill distribution at the same time to get more money out of this game, but this is obviously not working in the slightest.

That also strange by the way as the announcement clearly stats that the Event Coins will only drop from the normal Queen Bee Raid Boss. This was the case in the JP version too but there the Queen Bee Omega dropped six star Chip and Dales, something that won't definitely happen here.

I don't know. Either Localization Mistake or Bug. Or they changed it again.

Re: Zootopia Medals and Event Arrive in Unchained X!

Unlike most I actually like the Nick medal, can't speek for Judy as I haven't brought her yet, and it's been very useful so far being an AOE. It's understandable why they reduced their power, they wanted to get them out as close to movie promotions as possible without having them break the entire game by being OP.

Yeah same, I'm loving the Nick medal. Just got it up to LV 100 and I'm doing between 5000-8000+ damage per attack (normal or special) so I'm really happy. Took off half a health bar from a level 103 Invisible, and it does substantial damage to power and magic enemies as well. No ragrets here =)

Re: Zootopia Medals and Event Arrive in Unchained X!

According to some people in my party. Doing Quest 57 two times and then the event will spawn a raid. It can be more cost effective. Rather than taking a risk of spending 45 AP and only getting 1 Heartless.

Note: 1 event Heartless = 30 kills? I don’t know how they came to that conclusion.

Edit: Okay so I read about the nerfs now they makes me sad...mostly because that means they will get outclasses quickly :/ Like I get it a little, but I mean they are making us pay for them I don't see why they couldn't be a bit better than everything else we have so far actually that makes perfect sense lol.

it would probably take a decent amount of people complaining to do that yeah. I think it COULD but its super unlikely. I did say something actually...mostly just that I acknowledge that maybe they shouldn't be as good as they are in the Japanese version but they are expecting us to pay for them so maybe they should actually be better than things I can just get from the normal draw...but yeah.

Re: Zootopia Medals and Event Arrive in Unchained X!

Eh. I mean, why are the costume boards considered "expected to pay for them" while draws in general aren't? It's possible for someone to get these boards without paying real money. And the whole thing is just optional stuff. Whether or not someone thinks it's worth it is pretty subjective. If you like Zootopia, you'll probably think it is worth it for the costumes themselves, nevermind the medals. And while they aren't as strong as they were when introduced into the Japanese seven-month-old gamestate, it's not like they are actively horrible either. They seem pretty decent for our month-old gamestate, imo.

For players concerned with higher level play, yeah the nerfing sucks and the medals aren't worth it. But not all aspects of the game have to be geared toward that type of play. Some people honestly just want to build their decks with characters that they like and really don't care about tiers. Some people only want the cute costumes and couldn't care less about the medals being included. It's all about whether people as individuals think something is worth the cost and deciding what to do based on that.

But that's just where I'm at with this stuff. The level of pitchforking going on over this is a bit much for me, ngl.

Then pretty much everything becomes subjective. If FFVIIR is released for $200 I'll still buy it because it's a remake of my favorite game, but that doesn't mean it's acceptable at all. You're not getting what you're paying for.

I get it that you can get 6000 jewels without paying money for them but that's extremely unlikely. Everyone bought medals and the other costumes already. Speaking of which, they have much better rewards and are a lot cheaper. The game is not going to be a faceroll forever so I doubt many people that want to progress in it will keep the "favorite medals" mindset for too long. They will want to get something good out of their jewels, something useful.

I don't really care about zootopia or the costumes at all, but I'd be pretty upset if I did and had this huge wall in the way of getting them.

If you guys want to keep on with this, be my guest. I've said my bit. None of this stuff is required, and it being worth purchasing or not is still going to be up to the individual, just like most people here don't think anything in this game is worth purchasing, while others do. Provide people with the facts, let them choose, and then move on. That's what I'd do anyway.

I wouldn't mind it at all if they were at least 1500, there's absolutely no reason for them to cost 3000. There just isn't. If people want to buy them and think they're worth it, that's perfectly fine. I'm just giving my opinion on the matter just like you.

Later on in the game there are Support Medals called "Mickey and Broomsticks" which automatically active a special attack node. So theoretically, one could use these to eventually guilt the Zootopia medals.

I wouldn't mind it at all if they were at least 1500, there's absolutely no reason for them to cost 3000.

Not to mention they're being released when there are no new missions available or any other way to grind jewels.

I'd like one of these medals, but it's not worth real money. I'd have happily paid for the game itself: say $30 upfront to download and own it, and that's probably more than it should cost. But this whole microtransaction model is shady and kills any incentive to actually work at it.

Re: Zootopia Medals and Event Arrive in Unchained X!

In other news, the actual Event is incredibly easy. It's been less than a day and I've basically completed both of the main boards with minimal effort. They're also really good for leveling up (especially in the special time, where Lux is doubled), and there are still 13 days left lol. I'd recommend it.

I'm at LV204 and I didn't level up once during the special time. The lux required post LV200 is ridiculously high.

This is definitely the best method right now, but don't expect to go too far with it. As I said, the lux required is too much, you'll eventually start running out of AP before getting a single level (like I did tonight).

Unless you get a lot of Omegas, it's going to be tough.

[SPOILER=wait until they raise the level cap again to match JPUx's current LV300 cap]
[/SPOILER]
There will be plenty of raid boss events in the future to get lux from, eventually they'll be putting out raid boss events with commemorative/event medal drops at LV95 rare raid bosses. JPUx's current event promises a young Kairi medal upon defeating LV99 rare event raid bosses.
That said, try not to hit the level cap early on.

I mean, technically, sure? Most people don't consider the buff medals to be worth guilting though because no amount of guilt will make its buff last longer or be stronger, it just powers up the residual damage it gives when casting it.

But I mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=632TRC1knDc

Add on things like the proud quests, the Raid Bosses which eventually get to the level where you run out of AP before you can kill them because they don't provide enough exp to level up...the developers clearly want people to be invested and to spend time and effort. But even that won't get you far enough if the essentials are hidden (for all intents and purposes) behind a paywall.

The Zootopia medals aren't all that great, but they set a precedence. I guess for players who don't mind shelling out $30 a week it's not a big deal, but for those players who put forth an earnest effort thinking that would be more than enough to get by (because this should be a casual f2p), it's been a bit disconcerting to find that probably isn't going to cut it.

Also it just kind of sucks when you've been chipping away at a game for almost a month since launch but someone could sign up today pay some money and get access to something you'll never be able to get. I know, them's the breaks with this particular model of mobile gaming, but again, really kills incentive.

To be honest, the way the japanese version handles things today makes it much easier to get enough jewels for premium medals. I wouldn't worry too much about that, I do believe we will get there too. We have people on this very forum playing that version, clearing content and spending very little (if anything).

I can understand the reasoning behind changing the Zootopia medals in order to release them here and I'm actually glad they did at the end of the day (otherwise I'd want them). The only issue is that they've put those medals in a very expensive avatar board.

Thanks for the reassurance, I've certainly heard some things that lead me to believe that as well. But at the end of the day, I'm not playing the JP version, and there doesn't appear to be a particularly faithful correlation between what goes on between versions. I think things will get easier for NA players but as it stands right now, I'm scaling back because the game is just more trouble than it's worth.

Lol, I agree about the Zootopia medals, hearing how they've been reduced from their JP counterparts kind of gave me a sigh of relief (although it's really crappy for people who paid, I know my boyfriend is pretty pissed). The price of jewels in this game is ludicrous in the first place imo. When I saw it was like $50 for 6600 jewels and some skip tickets I couldn't help but laugh.

I won't deny about possibly seeing it in KHIII (though chances are, any Heartless boss will be entirely new) but while it has a flower-thing and, beeing a queen bee, has a royal design, it doesn't really look like it beelongs there.

"Thank you for voicing your opinions about the new Zootopia Avatar Boards. We appreciate all of your feedback and enthusiasm!

Some of you have noted that the Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde Medals included in the Avatar Boards have different stats than their Japanese counterparts. While we understand that this surprised some of you, both Medals were rebalanced to better fit the current state of the North American version of the game.

However, to express our apologies for not making this difference more clear in our announcement, we will be sending all those who purchase the Zootopia Avatar Boards 300 Jewels.

Additionally, it was brought to our attention that the Chip and Dale Medals displayed in the Zootopia Avatar Board icons are 6*, while the actual Chip and Dale medals contained were 5*. To correct this, we will also be sending one Chip 6* and one Dale 6* Medals to all who purchase the Avatar Board.

Deliveries of the Medals and Jewels will be made on May 18th, 2016 to all purchasers of the Avatar Boards.

Thank you for playing."

I wouldn't say they were unaware of the hackings for 2-3, but rather they were trying to deal with it in a quiet way but they couldn't figure it out and decided to temporarily stop certain parts of the game so they can deal with it without everyone bitching about the hackers.

Yeah it seems like they deliberately waited for the Coliseum Rankings to be over so they could suspend the rankings. They likely knew about the problem long before then and were just figuring out the best courses of action.

I think it's silly to suggest that they "just don't care" about the NA version. The game was made with NA in mind first. They put a lot of resources and development into this title. They worked hard to bring it overseas, and to get the plans in way so that it could be supported actively. None of this is a simple undertaking.

They're also a business and mobile titles make a lot of cash for businesses. It makes sense why Square Enix would change a few things around to get cash from their players just like many other mobile games.

I would have been pissed if the Zootopia medals were left to a ranking system like it was with Japan. At least with them behind 3000 jewel boards they gave you the choice of owning them rather than you working hard and still potentially missing out.

However, there are still some hackers on the leaderboard. I just saw a level 251 yesterday. Besides, there was no need to do it quietly because all it would do is decrease their profits because players would be less willingly to buy jewels if other players could get on the leaderboards this easily. Besides, shutting down hackers immediately is the most efficient way of doing things and it messed up a lot of the game. Many of the best rewards were denied to some players and the whole playerbase was discouraged by this occurrence. I've seen many players from my party, which was formerly ranked #4, just straight up quit. Overall, the management staff could've at least denied them the rewards if they wanted to do it quietly. Instead, by doing this, they just encouraged them.

We didn't change our playing habits this week either and were always in the Top 100 previously; that just shows you how widespread the problem was.

True, the situation is getting better now, but even if it was ignorance or not, it was still irresponsible to leave us players out in the cold for that long.

What else is new? =_=

I don't keep up with the differences, and I don't care. I enjoy the game well enough, especially considering that it's a free-to-play of all things.

I think this is less about making people happy and more about fair business practices. Advertising 6star chipmunks (+125) on the avatar boards and only giving 5star chipmunks (+25) is pretty much catfishing the customers.

If you as a mobile developer were adapting a Japanese version to a North American version and had 200+ digital objects that were the same as the Japanese versions, but then decided to make a unique North American version behind a virtual currency paywall, you would do well to be open and honest about the details of that new NA version, maybe even differentiate it a bit with a different name and picture.

If you were running a limited time event boss with a specific method for gaining event coins, and there was an error in the instructions for how you get those event coins, I would hope you would amend those instructions as soon as possible when pointed out and relatively early in the event's lifetime -- not more than half way through.

If you had a lot of different content all referred to as quests (story quests, event quests, special quests, colosseum under the quests tab) and you ran a promotion advertising All Quests Half AP! You would be expected to make all of those "quests" content half ap, and not just one type of quests like story quests.

It is less about making everyone happy and more about being honest.

3,000 Jewels, really? You think the JPN version would have refunded the entire cost of the Avatar Board just because some fans had tantrums over the stats of medals being changed from a version of the game 90% of them wouldn't have played and 100% of them shouldn't have been playing? Give me a break. The medals were only one part of the Board and no one deserves entire refunds just because they are slightly different. You guys are ridiculous and will complain about everything -- even when you get your way you find a new thing to complain about!

Chill.
It's the truth. I played the JPN vers and I know. For example, there was a bug with the Aqua Medal. What did they do? They fixed it and gabe every player 3000 Jewels.

Whatever I won't argue with you. =.=

Ya know, I don't get why people yell at u when u complain. After all, this game is a product and we, as players, have the right to complain when something is wrong. In this society full of consumerism, the consumers get the say. Some might say that since it was free, we can't complain, then if that was the way the world worked, all games would never have advanced. Take LOL for example. It changes in some way every two weeks or so because there is room for improvement that would make more people love the game. Not only that, the companies get paid by how many people download the game, so yes, indirectly, we are paying them. I just wanted to say this because some people think we should be happy with what we have, but apps are made for us, so we can ask for improvement.

I wish I could stay with the NA version of the game but something tells me it's never going to be as good as JP.
I had hopes that someday we would catch up and have nice things but when I looked at other mobile games, generally the JP version is always better.

Take Brave Frontier for example. It was released July 2013 for JP and December 2013 worldwide. To this day, the login bonuses for the JP version are still higher. I don't know about the details, but that tells me Unchained might work the same way.

That is only one of the problems though. Today we got to see hackers on the parade again but this time, no one got rewards. Which doesn't mean anything to a hacker since he can just get jewels for free I mean lol. Who exactly is getting penalized by this? They also gave us the Zootopia event (which gives absurd lux) in a period when lux doesn't matter for rankings at all. I'm not saying this was their thought process, but the coincidence is amazing!

Anyway, hopefully they still manage to sort all this around but not looking good so far.

You are right. Japan not only has to give better deals to stay competitive with the rest of their mobile market, but they have to comply with online gacha laws regulating games like KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained X which have been around since 2012. We do not have these kinds of laws in North America, and they are testing the limits of the few consumer protections we do have.

I finally saved up enough jewels and bought the Judy Hopps costume! And it didn't even cost me a dime! :D

I know I'm breaking the subject, but we need some good news. It IS possible to save up jewels in a short time without real money. Just do quests, the story ones and the event and special ones.

I know this is some days late, and I don't want to argue of whatever, but: I don't know if the jap version would have refound all 3000 jewels (they probably would have, I mean they did in the past like with the Aqua medal error as Muke said above) but I'm sure they would've given some jewels to all players, because it was an error from them, not from the players; and this is the major difference between jap and na based on what we've seen 'till now. It's a different approach, not saying one is good and the other isn't, it's just different.

I'm surprised that the team behind NAUx even decided to give some jewels and medals to anyone who bought the avatar boards. They didn't have to do that, but I think its nice that they did even if its not a full refund. I didn't even know the medals were nerfed until after I had already gotten the Judy board (which is the only one I wanted) and I personally don't regret it at all! I think its still a good medal for what it is.

Can anyone tell me EXACTLY how many Cid, Chip and Dale Medals are in there? And are all the Chip and Dale medals +150? Is it the same as any other board? I want to be absolutely sure about this. (And no Cost? Mannnnnnnnnn, I'd kill for a bunch of Cost)

None of them are +150. The Avatar Boards only contain 5* Boost Medals (+25). Altogether each board contains +75 STR and +75 DEF. Since the Avatar Boards' images mistakenly show a 6* Boost Medal tho, anyone who purchases the board will also receive a 6* Chip and a 6* Dale on May 18th (not sure if this is a one per person thing, or if you get it per Board (as in if you bought both you'd get two 6* Chip and two 6* Dale))

idk, having cost on them... it's kind of a no win scenario. Either they don't have cost so people think they aren't worth it, but then if they do have cost people would complain that they are basically forced to get it (especially since they are only available for a limited time) and would accuse S-E of forcing players to spend money to get something necessary to the game.

I agree, I got about 1600 coins and there is nothing to get anymore, by just grinding with my team for like an hour and a half I had over 4k coins. It's a total waste...what I actually NEED is Chip and Dale medals in the worst way. I barely have any defense and strength bonus's on any of my medals....I don't even care about the cheesy looking zootopia things they gave us, I don't even plan on wearing them, I just used the coins to get past them to grab the "cid" medals and the chip and dales and the exp medals....and now there is nothing left.

I see that too, a lot people with medals that have +1000 I was like WHaaa? D:
I wish I could get that....only thing I can figure is they spent their jewels on all those avatar boards to unlock them, except how the hell did they get enough avatar coins? I'm at quest 157 on my main NA game and I only got like 230 avatar coins...not nearly enough to spend on those boards....I would need like....well over 1000 avatar coins in order to do that....because inside them they cost a lot of points to get the medals
