This event's load times are absurd.

Yeah I was thinking about these load times, trying to understand why they are so bad and then it dawned on me...

If I had been paying attention in my programming classes the past two weeks instead of playing fantasica, I would probably know why.

almost at 7500 mandragoras, soon I'll get that 2x arrow prize and that'll sky rocket me to 9500 (if people need help) and then I'll be halfway to king of mandrag reward! :D

I'm confused as to why 1 ally is available on my main, but not my alt when it's the same account, and both accounts are on chapter 38.

Was the same for me last night actually. The guy was on for 5 hours, constantly available on my main but the alt showed he hadn't been on since like 8 hours before that.

I have ***for patience so the game is basically unplayable for me right now. I'll end up throwing my phone at something.

There are apparently 5* and 6* units available if you rack up mandrags, beyond 20k. It's listed on the wiki. Free 5 and 6* units that are actually dope. YES PLEASE

Yes you can find them on the JP site. Ill try to find it again quick. Its ridiculous though, like 100K mandragora for the 5 and 200K for the 6*. Theyre hidden rewards along with several others.

Edit: 80k and 200K according to that translated site.

A Google Translated version someone posted on the forums. -SEE EDIT BELOW-

Posted by Joradx here

I think cause theyre amount and our amount of pts to obtain stuff didnt match.

Edit: Apparently it doesnt let me link directly to the page so its the "Mandragora's over" link on the translated site.

200k? So no 6* unless you pay, basically... No way someone is getting that on their own.

Exactly, maybe if you play non stop the whole event But even thats a looooong stretch. I got excited when I first read about it too until I saw that :/

Also theres an announcement on the front page from today saying what I believe is theyre not going to fix the lag until 9AM PST .
Something about an emergency maint at the time to fix something wrong with the game. I would go back and find out exactly what it says but these load times are too bad for me to check lol

Yeah, without arrows a bound, it would be mad hard to get them. Some of the top scorers for BT I'm sure have close to enough if not more than enough actually already.

I've used all 3 arrows, and I'm at 9902 mandrags atm. I do notice they come in the new set of step up packs on steps 4-10 or w/e. Would be nice to get offers on the emulator for free coins lol. Haven't had good offers in a while. So weak.. 2nd premium ticket for 10k Mandrags just gave me a 2* orc. Faaaaaaail lol

Yeeeah I'm definitely out til they fix that ***. So stupid they're not touching it til 9am when they clearly know they broke the ***out of something. Hey let's *** up and make the game unbearable and give them all some potions, that'll make the entire wasted day ok. Bandaid on a missing arm.

Trying to at least keep up with help requests, but on my android I have a defective antenna or something and it drops connection a lot so with the lag it is nearly impossible.

Seeing some of the people who I am allies with on my alt who were like super scrublords for a long time, using like Sage and Lingzi all of a sudden rocking out 5* and 6* cards :<

Ahh looks like we can summon allies now during bosses for this. That's what they fixed I guess :) yay. Now I'll never lose a fight lol.

Edit: It seems the allies you can call in are VERY VERY limited.

You can only summon the ones who respond to your call for help, and then you can only call them once before asking for help again.

Lag seems to have cleared up the past hour, at least for me. Over 3000 Mandies now.

yeah that sucks. I noticed that after I used some allies up. Ran into a *** level 90 Mandragora King...... took me like 5 tries to kill it (like a damn full potion) but afterwards Bernard got 53k+ exp.... he went from lv 113 to 117 FTW!!!!!! and I got 980 mandragoras from killing it. I'm at like 15k mandies now or some jazz.

Just ran into another Mandy King, lvl 60 and got 25k exp for Bernard. WOOOO :D He went from 117 to 119 (almost 120), so he's almost fully level broken and almost done! :D

I think I figured out why we keep ending up with 9TP. When you go to assist an ally and it gives 1 mandragora, I THINK it also takes 1 TP. I just assisted someone (no arrow) and went from 10 to 9TP right after.

No need. I can attest to this being the truth. See, I have 0/300 TP atm, and I can't assist my alt without using 100 fanta points (since I'm out of potions). So yeah it takes 1 TP.
