Return of a Veteran

I've come back. Permanently.

Couple of things are new, such as the padlock thing at the top left of the stats screen. What is that?

Ally points.... Are they auto collected?

Return of a nooby veteran.

Yes at end of event they are auto collected. And no one in top 25 cash in their points during event. Also generally 24-25 spots go to full teams of L chasers.

never played with you but welcome back

Thanks Arth and thanks yourchaplain.
I'm was firmly planted at rank 7. Fell asleep though and now ranked 34. I'll make it back easy enough.

The padlock is a Character Lock. Press and hold to enable it for that character. This prevents you from selling it, fusing it, or discharging it. Pretty neat little feature. Some other new features:
- Button to Discharge mercs in tower immediately after capture
- Button to discharge mercs immediately after recruiting
- Pre-battle button to 'use' an ERK that fires automatically if anyone dies
- Certain Shop items can be purchased with credits: stat shards (mini-crystals) and XP Boosts (yay!)
- Ability to change leader
- Leaders now have a built-in second skill (HP Buff)

Let me know if I missed anything.

I noticed a few of those.

The padlock is a fantastic feature. That'll stop a lot of stupid mistakes.
The discharge after capture and recruitment is great, saves a lot of time and it's just handy being there.
The prERK (pre + ERK, yeah, I did it) is cool as well, it's saved my Squaddie too many times. My own fault for trying to complete the hard gate at level 15.
I didn't notice the shop items. Another reason Dakota beat DeNA, they make use of the useless items aha!
I've checked the rewards for levelling your Squaddie and they are a little more than interesting: Increase proc rate, increase empowerement level, HP buff skill.

Seems like they've done nothing but further improve an already excellent system.
Blood Brothers have done the complete opposite.
I should never have left.

If you had stayed in FF, you would be leaving now. Lol

Why do you say that?

FF is BB, but without the crap.

I would say that a couple of days ago.

I'm talking about the huge nerf that they had just done to selected mercs just to make them useless for raid and force people to buy more savages at raid events.

Stripping people of the powerful mercs that ppl put in lots of time & money to get. And no consistency in the nerfs either, I must add.

Like skill changes?

What exactly was changed?

lightening reflex is 50% modifier instead of 100%
relentless assault 175% instead 300
blue bot skill 25% modifier
black bot 120%
unstoppable force 200%
and some others

These are the important ones as dokesh also mentioned some of them.

Relentless Assault (Mista, Big Rig, Keymaster) 300% -> 175%
Lightning Reflexes Buff 100% - 25%
Swift Nox 300% -> 200%
Nocturnal Atk 200% -> 150%
Nocturnal Buff 40% -> 25%
Blue Bot Buff 70% -> 25%
Black Bot 200% -> 120%
Unstoppable Force (Hellcat, Katie) 300% -> 200%
Jackson Atk 400% -> 200%
Jackson Buff 100% -> 50%

They were a little OP.

Have they not changed Frozen Golem?

100% buff and 300% to 3 still?

No they haven't and probably because it can only do single atk to a raid boss, so only 300% x1 ATK.

Not overpowered in raid, so it was spared.

Very true.

I'm all up for the buffs. Won't stop me kicking seven shades of ass.

How have the ratios changed as well?
