Hyaline & ++ armors

[Adisty]

Anyone get enough snowflakes to craft the Hyaline Sleetrobes, or get a ++ armor from the phoenix chest (I think that's what it's called)?

[Kakarot]

In 1 day? Lol. I barerly have collected 3 snowflakes...

I've only gotten 5 and I've given up. GREE aren't thinking anymore at this point in time. At least back then the way they rake in money there was some degree of thinking, this time it seems they just thought of a random idea and decided to implement it into the game and pray that it works. This new 'feature' is irrational thinking from GREE's part and just outright absurd.

You and I both know there's someone out there that would keep spending gems on the chest to get those snowflakes, if for no better reason than to have an exclusive armor. An then spend gems to finish it early so they could plaster screenshots of their trophy everywhere.

I'm mostly interested in the ++ version armors, to see if any previously released armors got a ++, or if it's just the new armor that has it.

Some people listed the following in a facebook comment:
"It seems as though the beginning DFS are now available df ++. Phoenix ward is 3414/3490. Eye of tiamatt ++ at lvl 49 is 2686/2711. All the info i have"
"I have the eye of Tiamat ++ lvl 69 and 2882/2893"

You're right. I was rather thinking about the base of players whom going to get it in more "traditional" way, grinding adventure mode to the limit. Apropos, the drop is terrible. If it's an limited time event, I doubt somebody going to complete it in time playing free to play way.

I've seen Eye of Tiamat++ on level 103 - 3428/3400.

Sorry for double post but the snowflakes event ends till 4th January...

That's just absurd, I mean if Heroic in 7 days was impossible, then this is just a joke. GREE really thinks that they can scam us like that. This is another event I can sit out on. I sincerely thank you GREE, merry Christmas!

[gardibolt]

Ridiculous unless you intend to spend 24,000 gems. In which case you are Gree's new best friend.

The RA guys won't mind it, the'll take it as another t1 push lol.

[roookey1]

A really terrible event, like so many recently. The 'reward' for weeks of grinding being less keys for a pretty much uninteresting chest being another.

It is as if Gree were saying: "that's how little we give about all of you morons, see how we express our disdain about you, our customer base, as openly as ever during Christmas holidays!"

[Cuffy Meigs]

Ive been doing nothing but grinding and with raid rewards ive gotten 103. But game refuses to give me the rings and amulets from the raid rewards.
If its not one thing its another.

They were prolly trying to make some money to spend during their Christmas holidays while we after paying GREE remember we have Christmas presents to give and GREE is on on a vacation with their Japanese dictator and their inadequate staff along with their useless Customer Service. And yes, every one of their Customer Service time is useless, excluding none of their games. Happy Boxing Day, scammers and may you recognize your uselessness, ignorance, greed, and your inadequacy changing before its too late. Sometimes the truth hurts and when you don't face it, it hurts even more.

I have heard of at least one person getting enough snow flakes to craft from farming but no idea where is best to farm. Any ideas?

[Cuffy Meigs]

I dont believe it mos. Ive been grinding non stop. Ive done over 100 char levels since snowflakes are available and ive only gotten 236 snowflakes.
If there is a trick i would love to know.

[Adisty]

I dont believe it mos.

I agree. Let's see some screenshots :)

[bstewar6]

I havent seen one in game yet

Maybe it has to do with farming Heroic Mode which is now over because it gives 3-4 snowflakes per run.

I wonder how money or gems that person spent/used. That person is a poor soul I guess. How do you know that person didn't photoshop or edit it?

[Cuffy Meigs]

Well i did see the screenshot where the chest give out a straight 600 snowflakes . But grinding? I need 210 now.

That's crazy, anyways good luck. Two days until the event is over. They should've made it 2 weeks at least.

[Cuffy Meigs]

Ok i take it all back. Been grinding 12 hrs a day.
Got 90 snowflakes yesterday and 110 today.
I have it crafting without getting any from chests, so it is possible.

But that's 12 hours a day and you only managed to get all the snowflakes a few hours before the event is over.

There's a raid blitz with snowflake milestones _after_ the supposed craft end-date. Confusing...

Thanks for posting Mos20!

[Lord P]

Clearly Gree doesn't feel a need to post clear beginning and end dates for this kind of promotion. Snowflakes were dropping two days before they even announced the event. If I remember correctly they did finally put an "Event End Time" but they didn't specifically specify what the "event" was. Was it the chest the jewels came in? Was it the duration snowflakes would drop? Was it the length of time the armor would be craftable? We can only guess.

On a side note the armor is strong. Normal version is as strong as a typical plus DFA. Too bad they made the directions for this event so confusing.

[Cuffy Meigs]

Yeah i saw the snowflake milestones in the blitz rewards but dint want to stop and risk gree changing the rewards in the last few seconds and me not making it, so i just ground out the last 50 to be sure i'd get it.

[gardibolt]

I wasn't about to surrender my holiday to Gree's cruel RNG. I have no regrets about it and it makes it easier to just say screw this game, along with all the bugs introduced in the pet update.

Maybe it's round two, I mean it's snowing and winter in most parts of the world. Anyways, GREE need to work on their programming and communication, currently it looks like someone who was half asleep who programmed the event and got the dates and distributions wrong and decided it would be fine leaving the way it is, praying that no one would notice and complain.

[xWolfSlayerx]

GREE should really hire a few Community Managers because there's no one here to relate to so we are just left hanging. Sirius apparently disappeared from the face of Earth and the Forum is as quiet as it gets.

[roookey1]

Pretty clear by now that the game is close to being shut down ... actually it appears that it in fact already is, probably no more than 2-3 programmers and designers are keeping everything up anymore, concluding from what's (not) going on. :eek: I guess they just don't want to announce it openly, because a considerable number of people still buy their chests, engage in their pay2win events etc., so a nice amount of $$$ is still flowing in almost by itself, keeping the appearance will still pay off nicely for a while. Maybe even a DF+++ armor is around the corner? :rolleyes:

It's Gree's own fault having destroyed a game with such great potential. They've done everything wrong they could possibly have.... really unbeliavable. Companies with a fraction of the money Gree makes per month have smarter managers than they seem to have (or have had? :p). I just feel sorry for all the players/customers who are still believing in the game and continue to invest considerable parts of their income into it without being able or willing to read the signs.

Well said, but I think the moment Funzio handed the game over to GREE, Knights & Dragons was a lost cause.

I agree. Snowflakes confusion, the 2-war mess and now the current blitz raid is no longer listed on the news ticker while it's still running...
Kind of sounds like "oh we all go on holiday and leave an intern to run the shop during that time". ;)

They probably don't communicate properly with the customer base like normal companies would regarding issues because their employess that are there to communicate with us are Japanese people who only speak and communicate in Japanese, and are illiterate in English.

[roookey1]

you must refer to their programming language skills. Because setting a date or displaying the correct windows can hardly be any other kind of 'language' problem.

That too..

[Cuffy Meigs]

Based on all thats been posted above this armor must be pretty rare.
Ive only seen a handfull in the arena leaderboards.
Any guesses as to how many actully got crafted?
Remember i said guesses

[Taniswolf]

I crafted a reg and a + version of the snowflake DF there is no ++ unless the + has to be maxed I currently have it at lv 45

[Stultis]

I crafted the regular version. I need around 400 snowflakes to craft the + version, like that will ever happen now the event is over.

[Cuffy Meigs]

Well this might be the "winter" hope there is also a sping summer and fall armor

[xWolfSlayerx]

That's prolly the case so I don't think you can craft the ++ unless u still have some frags left.

[SBBL Indigo]

That's prolly the case so I don't think you can craft the ++ unless u still have some frags left.


There is no ++, I have the + at level 100 and there was no message about being able to craft a ++.
