so which of Mechanist's abilities are actually affected by silence?
>>1180736 >>1180752 Cheeto SEEEEEX
>>1180772 probably none
>>1180797 so instead of making every enemy immune to silence they now just make their skills unsilencable? i'm not sure i like this
>>1180786 Cute turquoise bear
>>1180772 none of his abilities have the little silence X next to them when you look at his enemy profile
>>1180772 what did she ever do to him
>>1180800 Always has been. As >>1180805 shows, the X marks silenceable abilities, it only turns off your entire kit if all you have are silenceable ones. Do I wish silence wasn't such a neglected effect that most every other effect in the game isn't affected by it? Yes. But that's a separate issue of specific things having to be flagged as silenceable instead of the effect doing something on its own.

cool factoid of the day: as most people probably know, Ebenholz is called Franz in irl Leithanien there was a popular youtube poop a few years ago that featured the name "Franz der Schwanzlose" which roughly translates to "Franz without a dick"
>>1181049 want another neat fact? the original definition of factoid is "an invented fact believed to be true because it appears in print"
>>1181053 that is pretty interesting guess i shouldn't have used the word "factoid"
>>1181057 it's been so misused that it has the second definition that matches what you used it for. like how "literally" now also means "figuratively" because of that brief spate of everyone using "literally" every other word a few years back.
>>1181057 The proper word here would probably be "trivia".

This boss is evil. Huge AoE physical damage, Corrosion because fuck your defenders, and enough raw damage to one shot Unc. and beat up Hoshi w/ Shining assistance. Naturally, he summons his posse and giraffe too. Haven't felt this frustrated since DOS. Should've let us freeze him. That would've evened up the odds a bit.

I will be honest. I didn't enjoy the gamba event. It was fun for the first 2-3 games but then it got tedious. Maybe it could have been more fun with /akg/ but I feel like the one in k4zdel was avatarfag central.
>>1181731 i did most of mine solo, but the games i did with 8kg were pretty fun
>>1181731 The fun of it was basically enabled by avatar and name posting where you could go "Cringe pick Dr.*!" and stuff. I thought it was pretty funny how /akg/ culture had to do extra dancing because we hate saying our names. I just kind of idled in lobbies while playing other games personally.
Expectations from the stream tomorrow?
What did you guys do for the third stage here? First one can be done by Specter, second one can be done by Ambriel, third one can be done by Jessicalt. It works, but maybe there's a better single operator solution that won't lock a 6* so early.

>>1183873 >that id
im assuming mechanist gets buffed stats on the 12th stage yeah? i tanked him with hoshi on the other 2 stages but i dont have masteries on her so i suspect she'll die if he gets giga buffed
>>1183912 so far only my Yu and Ulpenis, both with s2, can tank him. even then, they would die after stalling for a long time because his attacks can spread to my nearby medics. you should use Exu2 s3 if possible to respawn your blocker if they die somehow.
>>1183853 The unfortunate reality of action gacha games is that monetization is at some point an unsurmountable obstacle you can only really overcome with lucky pulls or your credit card. Arknights has so many ops and mechanics the player can leverage, and planning is more important than reflexes. Failing that, the support unit system is great. The upper ceiling lies more in tourneyfag IS A15+ CBT and max risk, neither of which have any real rewards besides epeen stroking. On action gacha games however, you can have perfect reflexes and timing, but your numbers will be capped because you didn't pull the optimal weapon for your character, and even if you did, you didn't get the perfect weapon slot stat rolls. If there is some sort of seasonal modes, they're often on a ladder system where whales get to hoard rewards they don't need while most of the playerbase has to cope with the 1000th+ place end of season crumbs. It's why I dropped PGR it's why I dropped HSR, it's why I dropped Nikke and likely it's why I'll continue with AK after I drop Enfield.
>>1183947 i'll try that out. i might also try tanking the giraffe with hoe and put shu in the middle so hoshi can get a matcha tile
>>1183947 remember to stun the companion regularly to lower its damage
>>1184183 wait it's a boss enemy but it's not immune to stun? i just placed down Skadi and had her eat shit until it died
>>1184209 You can stun the yellow thing mechanist summons, try it
out of curiosity is anyone here doing the gachapon thing that went up on the endfield website about winning an entry to the beta? I think you need to share codes or something to make a team to get better rewards, just curious if anyone wanted to make a team for all of us here who were interested.
>>1184482 i wasnt planning on it but if it helps other people i'll do it
(236.18 KB 1366x2048 G4ldhEva0AAcrIX.jpg)

>>1184496 want me to start a team id?
>>1184511 sure >>1184510 swire big love
>>1184522 ok, the Endfield "gachapon" team for join is. I think you enter this code when you click on join a team. I figured since we are all active we can just pool our points together. At least that is what it looks like. MTYyODM5MTYxMQ
>>1184530 yep now that one person joined I can confirm. It pools all the points together! nice!
>>1184545 ok now that I figured that out the next step is... people who haven't signed up for the pre-registration can add more credits to the team after by using the same code...I think https://endfield.gryphline.com/activity/all-charged-up?invite_code=MTYyODM5MTYxMQ Though the limit seems to be 25 invites, also I am not sure what the reward means. Probably won't happen unless people who were not interested throw a bone just to help out the team for bonuses.
>>1184553 how does this work? i joined your team or whatever. what now? i only did this for you btw. i don't really care about endfield or whatever
>>1184576 I think you clear the missions on the upper right box. Most of them are click on and go to the social media, but you don't have to actually do anything there like most campaigns, u can just close the window that opens without following. Then you claim the credits, and you dump them by using the coins on the gacha, which increases the left fill box. As you roll it gets higher and you get more rolls for free. I am guessing there is a small chance to win prizes, entry into the beta
(252.11 KB 839x1119 223xd.png)

>>1184591 here is what was in the reward description I don't expect much but I figured it only took a few minutes to play.
>>1184591 hmmmm i guess that's it. i only got charges or whatever it is, not seeing any special rewards like in >>1184603 hope that helped
>>1184607 since its a new event I wonder if its a daily check thing or just once when you hit max and that is it? I will check tomorrow and keep everyone updated. You can still get some more rolls from the 25 invites for pre-registers so check back later too.
>>1184612 >get some more rolls from the 25 invites is that for endfield or arknights? i don't plan to play endfield
>>1184553 Think I did everything other than finding 25 other people to click my link.
>>1184614 its endfield beta invite...and a low chance to win some physical merchandice. So yeah if you don't care about the metal pin/artboard/table mat etc then you can skip it. >>1184627 great, we are now done! I did my part. I think anyone that joins the team I made will just get a lot of rolls initially to get a small chance. Regrettably I didn't win anything either at this point, but I don't mind.

HG has spent literal years refining this game to hell and back, what more do you want? It's not gonna get better if you just ignore it.
>>1185340 i like the aesthetics, ui and sound design. combat seems good but kinda wasted potential since all of the enemies dont do anything but get juggled for a a couple of minutes then die. no point in having combat with some depth if nothing fights back. everything else is cool though. i like the idea of sharing factory designs for other people to try out and learn from too
>>1185369 I am pretty sure there will be something more to the combat in the first few years.
>>1185369 I'm not the biggest fan of the combat either, but that's exactly why I'm hoping to play it. I made a mistake asking for dodge function during CBT1, this time I'll ask for more strategic elements and less ARPG in general.
I am somewhat unhappy with the gacha system but I may get used to it.

>>1185340 Why would I want an arknights 2 when arknights 1 is still good Why would I want an arknights 2 if it looks and plays nothing like arknights Why should I have to roll all my favorites again when I've already put money into the original. Hell why are they taking my favorites and putting them in a setting it seems they dont belong in. It looks like Eyja is calling endmin senpai so they could possibly hurt my favorites by having them pander to new mc. And if the new MC *is* Doctor and we're just fucking off to talos then why should I care about our fight to make Terra a better place I have no obligations to be sucked into a new gacha game. In an inherently predatory genre I need to see actual merits to the game to warrant caring and I just don't
>>1185426 >Why would I want an arknights 2 when arknights 1 is still good Because AK1 can't do everything that AK2 has the potential to do. >if it looks and plays nothing about Arknights Do you mean in terms of UI and aesthetic? We're not in charge of RI this time, and its been at least 100+ years, so of course some things are gonna look different. Play-wise I get it, different genres, but I'm not sure what you're hoping for in terms of looks. >rolling favorites again This is a fair point. I'd hope they would give players some compensation for having been so dedicated to the OG AK, but even if they do, that's not going to happen with Yostar. >It looks like Eyja is calling endmin senpai so they could possibly hurt my favorites by having them pander to new mc. And if the new MC *is* Doctor and we're just fucking off to talos then why should I care about our fight to make Terra a better place At this point I'm ~90% sure that Endmin is just Doc's reincarnation, so the pandering makes sense. As for the second question: because it's what we do on Terra that allows us to take action on Talos II, and our actions on Talos II will (hopefully) be rewarded with the possibility of exploring Terra in 3D. Think of it like this: Talos II is the victory lap for surviving all of Terra's horrors. >actual merits Okay, then let me ask: what would you want out of a 3D Arknights game that would make it more appealing to you? The futuristic setting's probably here to stay, and that in itself shouldn't be a dealbreaker.
>>1185340 I am not married to the Arknights brand. I don't play Arknights for the waifus. I like Arknights' worldbuilding but the writing is atrocious, so I have no reason to believe Endfield's story will be good, and they've already rewritten the game's background 3 times (that we know of) so I have no reason to believe the worldbuilding will be good either. I have no interest in action 3D gacha games, and equipment gacha is the biggest red flag in a game ever. I have dropped 5 games for reasons that ultimately boil down to equipment gacha. I will keep playing Arknights because I enjoy the game. If EF kills AK, then I will play neither. I haven't the slightest interest in playing EF no matter how many clones they make
>>1185426 You are being way too pessimistic about the whole thing. Not even defending HG or trying to change your opinion on the subject but you can just play both games and enjoy your time doing so. Nothing is stopping you from continuing with arknights. I know I will play both. The Eyja thing is there to cater to people who are into this type of thing. Just as you hate it, there are people who like the bait and switch of is it the Doctor and is she Eyja. Such characters have never bothered me but the Asian culture is just strange.
I wonder how Enfield performance is gonna look on mobile devices. It's meant to run on Android and iOS, and while it may be showing that I don't fucking play anything on mobile other than Arknights, I can't see how Enfield would run reasonably well in anything but the beefiest phones unless there's some programming black magic going on. I'm currently not too hot on Enfield because, on top of any other gripes I may have with gameplay, setting, proposition or gacha, it's mostly the fact that I don't want Arknights to stop, I don't want to stop playing Arknights, and I don't want to have to commit to yet another gacha with its rolls and events and dailies and weeklies and stuff. AK on its own is lax enough to play in bursts and doesn't demand all my fucking time, we'll see how much of a job Enfield is.
>>1185462 I feel like they are making it for PCs first and foremost. Just like WuWa and some other newer gacha.
>>1185455 Fair, but to offer one counterpoint: >equipment gacha Everything we've seen so far about weapons gacha is that it's more generous than other ARPG slop. I won't act like I'm happy it's there, but I can also see how it's (fortunately) better than what it could have been.

i play Arknights because i like the Arknights gameplay if Endfield isn't Arknights gameplay, then i have no reason to play it, especially because i know none of my favorites will appear simple as
>>1185473 They most likely will. Unless your favorite is somebody super obscure like Nightmare.
>>1185484 my favorites are Andreana, Viviana, May, Deepcolor and Beagle
>>1185460 >>1185473 Herein lies the source of my frustration. HG, in my opinion, has earned a lot of respect in how its handled AK. I feel they deserve a chance with Endfield, even if it isn't 'AK2'. There are things I'd prefer they do differently (namely move away from ARPG), but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I just hope the community does the same. Please don't leave me with the Hoyotards, you guys are fun and it'll be sad to see some of you leave
>>1185493 I will give it a chance. Hopefully I will enjoy it. The combat systems are complicated enough for my taste. But if it I dislike it I won't shitpost about it or shittalk the game.
>>1185493 if the game is fun i'll play it and if it's not i won't
>>1185469 I don't care what we've seen so far, it's always one later addition that turns equipment gacha from tolerable to money grubbing. I have no guarantees that the system will not suddenly get predatory 2 years in, I've seen that happen multiple times in multiple games. And I won't take >HG hasn't done this before As a reasonable counterpoint. HG hasn't done equipment gacha before either, yet here it is. Besides, I'm not just against equipment systems because of predatory gacha. I find grinding for gear and sorting out the good from the bad to be the lowest form of "gameplay" a gacha game can offer and I'm not willing to engage in that humiliation ritual.
>>1185486 Beagle has a chance, otherwise yeah, it's looking grim. >>1185511 I don't think HG will pull a MICA (they have no reason to), but ultimately you're not wrong. This is why I dislike everything about the ARPG aspect and desperately want HG to pull away from it. Gear grinding, button mashing, ultimate spam etc. have been done to death.
>>1185340 >HG has spent literal years refining this game to hell and back Dev time doesn't affect my desire to play the game and really just let me try other games and see what doesn't stick with me with regard to 3d live service games. <Candid combos that just go on button press <Visible enemy stances that just feel like shield mechanics <equipment that just makes number go up. <resource scraping from cheeky chests, 30 second combat "challenges," 10 second puzzles, and 5 minutes follow the trail sections <Enemy density absurdly high with zero reasonable idea why you should have to fight them and HG already making a lot of more fuzzy fumbles like the whole clones thing. Cygames, Mihoyo, and Kurogames all seemed to get that you can just rip off the designs and call them expy without a problem. So HG bringing the dead back to life just creates arguments no matter how funny Liduke reviving her OC fujoship from the dead for a launch banner is. >It's not gonna get better if you just ignore it. I'm not going to find myself in company with people who'll fight with me and don't really want to end up just sounding like a sour shitposter. I just want to stay in my threads talking about the Arknights I enjoy. I just don't think any of the character designs or personalities are interesting to me and am fairly certain their stories won't be, though I will give the Kazimeriz rip off event that was teased a view. >>1185369 There were bosses and elites in the first beta that mostly ignored your attacks aside from counters and stance breaks iirc. >>1185473 >especially because i know none of my favorites will appear There is also the risk of favorites losing the things that make them people's favorite if they do appear. Like, I cringe at the idea of what mine could end up like if she were just cloned.
>>1185493 I will just post about endfield in /akg/. Simple as. The GF general in here talks about all 4 games or so and they do just fine. It is the IDs.
>>1185532 MICA are retards. I respect them because they follow their own passion but they are probably the biggest retards in the gacha industry.
>>1184893 that is nice at least, shared rewards
>>1185454 We do not need an arknights 2 because arknights is a live service game. The constant updates mean ak shouldnt need a sequel unless the game goes eos where everything should be wrapped up by then For reference I watched GF2 go from a huge step forward for the series to a game so afraid of its own playerbase it cant do anything except pander so they'll buy their old favorites to keep money flowing in. I think gacha sequels are an inherently bad idea. Anything new in EF is going to be drowned out by "respect" for the old. Nobody will be wondering what new characters the game has to offer, they will be asking for their wives and husbands to return in 3D and the moment they do anything controversial with those characters we will just get another Raymond situation which will just lead to boring safe stories If the game wants to exist side by side with arknights it just shouldnt be an arknights game. Its clear this game has original ideas but when you put that name on, you invite a lot of expectations that this game just doesnt seem to be meeting
>>1185532 >I don't think HG will pull a MICA MICA proves anyone can pull a MICA. It's just being overcompensating retards that break their own legs for a fast buck instead of more subtle jewing. >>1185535 There is no easy way to just read the shit non-endies will care about is the problem. Like why even bother visiting the thread just to have to ctrl+f arknights stuff.
>>1185534 Forgot >Ops leave the perminant pool after two banners Fuck this fomo dogshit and the insane retards on NGA that love it so much.
>>1185340 >at least give it a chance No. HG is not entitled to my time, especially when said time is already going to AK, them wasting years and likely millions on dev time on this shit is their problem, not mine. If it were made by a japanese company not only it would be a real game like grubble relink/versus, I would actually give it a try for that very reason.
>>1185534 >Candid combos that just go on button press I blame mobile optimization for this. Nuance is lost when you try to cater to touchscreens. >equipment that just makes number go up Ehh, there are some with their own effect combos, but nothing that breaks the norm. >5 minutes follow the trail sections I'm gonna punch HG if I see any of these. The rabbit quest was fun, but I wouldn't enjoy doing it often. >>1185551 I've seen what happened to GFL2 as well (though I'm not at the point where I'll drop it...yet). To be fair though, it's hard to fuck up as badly as MICA did, and a large part of MICA's pandering comes from desperate attempts to keep its boat afloat. I can see more 'new' appetite in Endfield's community, though I dread the possibility of a Raymond situation. >Its clear this game has original ideas but when you put that name on, you invite a lot of expectations that this game just doesnt seem to be meeting I think it's running into an issue where, since it's the second game in the franchise, it's having a hard time knowing what is and isn't essential to the brand. In other words, HG is trying to figure out what makes AK feel so special, and how that can be translated into new games.

>>1185493 lol enjoy your new friends doktah
>>1185535 >>1185553 Based on all the Endfield discussions so far, and assuming Endfield more-or-less sticks to its current direction, compatibility with /akg/ is unlikely. Better to separate it out into /enfg/ and let overlap occur naturally where appropriate. >>1185580 DONT LEAVE ME WITH THEM THEY SMELL LIKE BEANS
>>1185573 >I blame mobile optimization for this. Nuance is lost when you try to cater to touchscreens. It's just Chinese sensibilities really, they love when even normal buttons spawn a billion sword swings.
>>1185584 >Better to separate it out into /enfg/ Hopefully that happens. People will end up calling the Endfield clones by their AK names out of habit and it'll get more confusing the more clones come out.
Well, fine. I give up. I'm not gonna nuke my own reputation by shilling for Endfield when that's HG's job. I just feel like a lot of this feedback would be better sent to them than left in the hands of the Hoyotards who stick with the game and try to make it more like Genshin. That's why I hope people here, even if they don't like the direction, will give it a chance. Tell HG why you don't like it and maybe there'll still be hope. I digress. >>1185565 I'm not keen on this either, though we don't know their long-term plans just yet for acquiring older Operators (e.g. gold certs / recruitment in AK). >>1185594 As one last note: yes, I dislike this too. If Ange is Ange, her name is Ange. If Eyja is Eyja, her codename is Eyja. Changing them makes zero sense when the characters are by-and-large the same. I still can't get over 'Gilberta'
>>1185604 >I just feel like a lot of this feedback would be better sent to them than left in the hands of the Hoyotards who stick with the game and try to make it more like Genshin. Problem is this feedback is 3 years too late already. >Changing them makes zero sense when the characters are by-and-large the same. They have different stories though, like most importantly, no real parents.
>>1185611 people lost their shit initially when they essentially revealed that operators would be coming back as literal clones
I hope there are no random stats in the equipment, I never stick with games with random stats for long I like knowing my unit is maxed after I invest in it instead of thinking >if I sweep the equip stage for 2 months there's a chance I get another equip with 2% more attack In AK when an op is max level and their relevant skills are m3 I know I'm done and that feels good, that feeling is never there with random stats. This is a big deal because raising units is a core part of a gacha gameplay loop Attachment farming made me drop GF2 and echo farming made me drop Wuwa
>>1185617 >Attachment farming Understandable as it is unwanted RNG.
>>1185614 Basically all the polls I saw were fine or happy with it though. Only the autistic are frustrated with it. More fundementally HG didn't ask for clones before they started making them, so there was zero way to do anything more than ask HG to try and not make the excuse retarded.
>>1185604 Telling HG to not water down their game is not my job, it's their QA and PR team's job, me spamming feedback to them is not going to do much when they are already money-driven, and the proof is on how they are making a 3d genshit clone in the first place instead of just investing it on AK long term. Life is too short, free time is too scarce, backlogs of all mediums for me are too massive. Endfield being shit doesn't hurt me at all, AK itself dying and shutting down would but it would not be the end of the world for me.
>>1185594 It will. Even if /akg/ shitposters scream and shout about it, the tourists who come for Endfield and have never cared about Arknights will not want to have AK discussion interrupt their EF discussion
>>1185621 Again, I largely can't reject any of these arguments, but: >the proof is on how they are making a 3d genshit clone in the first place instead of just investing it on AK long term. I don't think there's anything wrong with them wanting to make more AK titles with different genres. Call it money-chasing if you want, but it's not like AK has to solely be a mobile TD. Of course, then you'll say the problem is moreso how it's an ARPG, which is fair.
>>1185621 >instead of just investing it on AK long term. if a company is making enough money, there's a limit to how much money you can put into one project and still see returns from it, or not actually harm the project (too many cooks in the kitchen, that kind of thing). so if you want to expand from there, making a whole ass new product is the only thing that makes sense. i mean, they've already invested insane amounts in AK anyways, between things like the artbooks, comics, the shitload of music they produce, even having the concerts. i don't know that HG *could* do much more beyond create new games in the AK continuity.
Thinking about it, I might consider playing Endfield when the Arknights story touches the "leave the planet" thing we saw in the Samy picture or it completes the narrative, it'll be good to have content for the second game developed and the rough edges fixed

>>1185647 take a candy, good rat. >>1185646 I don't see much issue with these designs outside of Last Rites. You can call them generic, but at least they've got some distinctiveness and creativity to them. Still, I'd prefer more 'tactical and 'formal', less 'futuristic'. I don't like how Last Rites feels like a second Xaihi and is trying too hard to play into the theme of 'everything a Sarkaz isn't'. Like bro, we already had Jessica in AK proper, we don't need another unrealistically shy girl.
>>1185664 they probably shouldn't have designed a shy girl to have her tits out like that
>>1185668 Sarkaz instincts, please understand. The bloodline must continue.
>>1185664 The designs look pasted over generic ass characters and like they have a does little details added for some abstract sense of value. Last rites is embarrassing, but worst of all is the same direction design a lot of the new characters have. I genuinely can't tell you what any character not from the very first test is supposed to be from their design except da pan.
>>1185637 If you're going to change genre then you cant be surprised when a lot of people who liked what was established arent interested anymore This is not a movie these games are long-term time investments in a genre very prone to burning the player
>>1185678 >does Dozen
>>1185584 The Endfield discussion so far is heavily influenced by /vmg/ and several rotten apples who don't want k4zdel to be anything else but their cesspool. There was very decent discussion for like 3 or 4 hours after the stream ended.
>>1185678 Fair point. There's not a lot of 'identity' here. If you showed people Last Rites in a vacuum, how many of them would correctly guess her background? Not only does she by-and-large abandon the original Nachzerher look, her personality and Arts are a total mismatch. >Witching Hour prototype combat suit WHAT ABOUT SHOWING SKIN INDICATES 'COMBAT' TO YOU, HG
>>1185573 MICA are hilarious because they actually managed to shoo the biggest pests from their playerbase, got scared and still started catering to them. There is nothing to GF2. Absolutely nothing. The story is bad, the gameplay is bad, there is absolutely no endgame and yet instead of trying to fix their shit, they are focusing on making it so you can play with Klukai's feet ... and hiding it behind attire gacha.
>>1185691 she doesn't look that out of place compared to the existing nach women?
>>1185701 She really doesn't to me. If anything she has a tail.
>>1185664 >at least they've got some distinctiveness and creativity to them. I think it's funny how Eyja is just Eyja with her hair done up in a ponytail like that one Spring promo art, her shoulders exposed, and her jacket off. IIRC, the other clones have more distinct outfits compared to their originals but Eyja is pretty much the same.
>>1185701 these two beautiful women eat people...
>>1185701 I think it's the bodysuit-type look for me, contrasted with the unrealistically bashful personality. She feels like a generic side character got gifted Nachzehrer traits and magically stumbled into success. Also, the skin she shows is more intentionally provocative than either Qalaisa or Nadine. >>1185712 Her skirt got some improvements as well, but yes, she's largely the same. No complaints on my end. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
>>1185718 shrug. if anything i think the only problem is that she doesn't have the inward-turned horns, since they more stick out like cat ears given their coverings. otherwise she's got the flowing hair and matching tassels that suggest the parchment wrappings of the generics.
>>1185532 >beagle has a chance Anon she hasn't gotten anything in 3 years
>>1185731 we literally just got a vulcan skin, she's still got a chance. not a good one, but a chance.
>>1185718 Also Ember got slightly improved upon so if the majority of people have problem with Last Rites then HG will just change her appearance as well. >>1185726 Sarkaz in general are just annoying when it comes to features. So far only the Banshees resemble each other while the rest are all over the place. I thought Rites is a snake the first time I saw her art a month ago or so. But I would never guess she is a ghoul. Just like I would never have guessed about Quisella or whatever her name is. Nadine has their coloring. And so does Milton for that matter.
>>1185731 I believe in Beaguru alt. They wouldn't just leave the A1 squad incomplete like that...
>>1185731 SHE IS REAL TO ME! Yeah, I know...
>>1185738 she was apparently also raised by 'gravetenders' before being found by her sarkaz, and idk, tails are so inconsistent in general, either due to art errors or whatever. like angie doesn't have one in her art until the swimsuit skin, bagpipi and sailboat don't have tails but saria does...

I'm a bit late to the discussion but I've just seen the new characters in the upcoming endfield beta and goddamn does it look grim. More clones of popular characters is an awful sign since it shows that HG are planning to milk the old playerbase for all they got/desperately trying to lure them over

>>1186236 >>1186189 I have never even tried getting there. I was unable to defeat the disco ball on ascension 11 or 12 and my autism never let me try out the fourth ending before completing the third one.
>>1186243 Also, what kind of retarded paid shill would waste their time on 8chan? Not even 4Kaz, 8chan? The marketing budget isn't that deep. They're better off running those built in ads in mobile games than to try and convince anons in here. I discussed it here because I, by some horrific twist of my mind, think the anons here are somewhat reasonable and don't hide behind filters. It's true the whole discussion has been beaten silly, but god forbid I vent about it and try to defend the game a little. Guess that makes me a shill, huh? C'mon. You know better than this.

>>1186252 The only reason I tried doing a new run is because I noticed the medal set was unfinished despite having done all the deep explorations and reached level 155 yeah... I should've tried reading how to do the endings but I was stubborn, even this fourth ending I had no idea how to reach it
>>1186268 I always go in blind. And because of it I always end eating shit. Maybe now with Lemuen and some other new characters I can beat the discoball.
>>1186263 You're taking the "like a shill" insult too personally, to the point it may actually make people believe yostar or some shit paid you. This is just even more off a turnoff for genshitfield though.

>>1186268 you need to get all of the ending relics or save up a bunch of hope, ingots, and the third thing i forgor in order to avoid some massive debuffs, then it's mostly "does your cob have S2 and the S2 module" and "can you do enough physical damage to the lion while cob burns down the horse." also you want to kill them together or the survivor gets some massive buffs and starts targeting your operators unless you used your foldy boys to spawn some shield guards, in which case they'll absorb that shit and give you a breather note that you do not have to fight the second boss, you just need his relic, you can skip the event that changes the first end boss.

So, I know we had that whole Endfield discussion but— NO STOP I HAVE SOMETHING DECENT THIS TIME
too big
>>1189513 Something I appreciate about what Endfield is *trying* to do is follow-up. Last Rites has a lot of issues, but to widen the lens to Ember & Xaihi, I'd argue HG is trying to explore how the Sarkaz and Sankta have developed. LT herself can only exist because Qalaisa paved the way for her. There are other worldbuilding examples of this where the new factions are HG's attempt to explore how civilization has progressed first in tandem then in separation from Terra. It's like allopatric speciation (yes, I magically remembered this from school). It makes me wonder how much we'll learn about what happened on Terra between the end of AK and the start of Endfield, and how the folks on Talos chose to continue on from there. 'What Ifs' always catch my interest for this reason: they harbor tons of narrative potential.
>>1189535 In a sense, it's one of the few things I think Endfield does right. Seeing Future Terra is one thing, being introduced to new factions is another. We've dealt with the same bastard Dukes players for so long, it's nice to see things freshened up. It's also only possible thanks to RI's work, so it's not like everything we did was for naught. Naturally HG may find a way to fumble this, like making the Yan faction too much like the original, but I'd argue they'll have more creative freedom by diverging from the historical tropes associated with nations. Plus, I want to see what the equivalent of Feranmuts is on Talos-II. That's one way to try and spice up the Aggeloi, cause otherwise they're just weird constructs.
>>1189535 Show me feesh. They haven't shown off any Aegir yet iirc.
>>1189577 Fish would be interesting because there are presumably no Seaborn to fight. HG could easily toss them ocean-going Aggeloi, but given how Aegir are a bunch of pretentious snobs, I'm hoping for something more nuanced than that. A New Iberia in its prime would be cool. Other than that, I'm not sure.
>>1189586 Aegir the nation, not the race in general**

>>1191270 twink removed
>>1191270 IS modules are the worst thing HG have added to the game in the last 3 years or so. I don't really care about characters doing wacky stuff in IS, the wacky stuff should come with the relics, just like every other roguelite out there.
>>1191427 IS isn't really like any other roguelite out there, is it? IS modules are just another part of a unit's kit. From a purely IS-centered perspective, there is no difference between a X/Y module and an IS module
>>1191427 i think giving strong IS modules to units that are bad or underwhelming in general content is a great idea this way they still have a use and people that built them feel less bad about it Kaltsit didn't really need one but i guess they gave her one for lore reasons, so that's fine too imo the only thing i dislike about them is how slowly they are trickled out
>>1191521 oh and i guess i also dislike them only being given to 6 stars the IS welfares are the very first operators that should've received them
>>1191521 >>1191475 I think they should have been some type of equipment they add as a part of a set or something. I haven't played that much IS5 but I've noticed hands and something else are usually part of a set now. So HG could have added them as some mini-set or something you purchase from Cannot. The mods are wacky because it is IS but they could have tuned them down a bit and added them to the actual game as a way to leap older characters. Just me bitching though, clearly people like is mods.
IS modules as just something to make units that are hard to have fun with, or just 6* that can't cover thier hope costs, fun in IS is a decent idea; I just find they're conceptually by the feeling most of them get passed out on dev whims with a very small dash of IS story integration rather than the lowest pick rate 6*.
The hope system is still broken as a whole
>>1191587 i think IS5 made it a lot better idk how it's handled in IS6 but IS5 reducing the costs for 4 and 5 stars was exactly what the game mode needed and late game hope is way easier to get thanks to interpreting plans
>>1191590 IS5 made 3*s useless The problem ultimately is that 5*s can't compete with 6*s, and voucher economy is more important than hope most of the time. The design of IS as a whole inevitably leads to just using the strongest 6*s
>>1191590 Zero cost 4* is the same shit as being forced to use the same couple 3* over and over while just snuffing out what little use most 6* would even see. Id would suspect the only reason IS5 and 6 don't have identical pic rates is because of the Yan faction requirements.
>>1191598 >>1191610 i've had quite the opposite experience since i play IS for fun, i don't usually play it on high difficulties, like most players and on lower difficulties in IS5 you can just bring random 5 stars and make it work until you recruit a handful of 6 stars based on your relics or at least that was the case until the last fuckwretched IS5 update
>>1191610 And speaking to this I think this anon >>1191427 is right with way strong and specific relics to be added (once HG releases an IS where infinite relics isn't a reasonably achievable state) that make you go "oh shit I can use Lumen to carry now." IS2 with the damage while cc'd and gnosis or the Phalanx/Therapist relics in IS2 and 3 were great and the viability of that kind of thing should be a real consideration. Making IS to sell units isn't very efficient with its long dev cycle, and the people who need those units to play will just bounce off the grind anyway, so fun should be the main focus.
>>1191638 I'll check out here, since I don't really play 5* IS, my personal problem is just zero cost 4* not making 4* good and just making the good 4* free while 6* of all values get taxed and shitposted.
>>1191638 Yeah if you play on easy mode you can win with anything. This isn't really a startling revelation

>>1191640 i don't think it's to sell units as far as i can tell, all the IS modules so far have gone to old units units that most long time players already have they're just there to spice things up for them now, giving them a reason to use them again or even build them in the first place, instead of just having them be a brick in their account i guess you could make the argument that it's to make players waste resources and i can kinda see that module blocks are hard to come by, so i'd really prefer it if IS modules cost something else like those worthless data sticks i have 2 thousand of or whatever IS modules are completely irrelevant to new players because they'll just borrow Walter, play the bare minimum to get whatever rewards they need and call it a day >>1191655 i don't think it's about making 4 stars stronger 4 stars are simply a more diverse group of operators than 3 stars if you get a bunch of specialist vouchers while low on hope you can now recruit actual operators instead of 6 reserve vanguards and a THRM-EX it's just flavor to make the early game more diverse and overall enjoyable >>1191666 the tryhards would've tryharded with tryhard operators anyways but now the average player can have more fun playing IS i don't see the problem with that

Since Mudrock is coming to the shop in two days, which of her modules is best? X seems best for tanking while Y seems to be damage-oriented, but neither look very definitive as she suffers from SP lockout on S2 with ModX and has a restrictive deployment condition for ModY base effect Don't tell me this is another "just build both" situation, my poor blocks...
>>1192110 Just buy both skins
>>1191655 I think the 4*s being free is more a symptom of the 3*s being so dogshit on high ascensions in IS4 that most of them were useless on floor 1 and pretty much all of them fell off by floor 2. The 4*s are slightly more powerful and can be upgraded for a small cost to still function past the first floor so you don't feel like shit for wasting a recruit on something useless. It also gives more pick variety as opposed to IS3 where you just grab a pile of generics to eat shit from rejections and only run a couple actual ops.
>>1192110 Honestly I would say just go with X for your S2 synergy, though I'm sure there are situations where Y is better I doubt its enough to be worth buying 2 modules. I have not tried Y nor used Mudrock in a while so this is conjecture.
>>1192110 I had X unlocked since forever because I use her more as a slab of diamond instead. Whatever she can't kill on her own I can DPS with someone else. If you like S3 then you may consider Y, I can't remember the last time I used it.
>>1192110 get her racist module
>>1191590 >>1191598 I wonder what would happen if 4* stayed 0 cost, but 3* and under gave +1 hope for being recruited. Suddenly no voucher is totally useless. >>1191640 I agree that Hands are a good approach. I still remember Passenger's rise to fame thanks to God Hand in IS2. A good hand can make even a middling Operator shine. >>1191706 Sex with this cat.
>>1192110 You can go with either, but X is arguably the easier to use. >>1192152 I agree with this. I'm fine with tweaking the mechanics to give 3* a bit more love, but 4* are units you either take early or don't take at all. 5* are the ones who need the most attention, though.
>>1192485 I think that the 5* shouldn't be affected by the cost increases of later difficulties at the very least.
If HG wanted us to use more 4* and 5* in IS they'd remove squad size limit HG don't want us to do that anyway, they want us to pay money for 6*s

It's a shame this boss reviving a half dozen times won't become a meme because her good fight is at the tail end of the S stages and being lame looking. I hated the stage mechanics until the s stages and also learning waking an op gives full sp, but they ended up being really fun for some reason. I do think there was a problem with the stages basically all challenging you to waste time on cosplayers (aside from the ones that give deployment slots and dp) and then tossing glass canon rushing enemies or long range bullies that just made long range bursting the only sane was to deal with the enemies to me. I think the fear mechanic was supposed to off-set that. I feel like the story failed to convey the level of danger that it obviously wanted. The brainwashing is too damn weak, everyone who gets shot basically walked in front of a gun, and the Law doesn't act like a machine or something really incomprehensible like GA hyped up. I really think the story probably involved everyone coming together to battle the saint as some literal metaphor for dealing with the sins of their past and the desire to live away from the realities of Terra she embodies, before a rewrite of some kind happened. It's also not something new and was even expressed in universe, but it's still so funny that Laterano is the least religiously acting nation on Terra.

>>1195433 Nah the stage was bullshit. The boss isn't even the problem, the event mechanics and mobs were just garbage

>>1195460 My MT-10 opener had Ines and Miksaparato looking across the opposing high ground tiles and those dealt with the initial birds just fine, because I can't afford wasting time and DP plopping down an AA shitter who won't scratch anything after those. It's a sick joke designing a bunch of flying enemies for the express purpose of trying to make Marksman relevant again, then immediately invalidating it by making every dream tile a huge investment to deploy on. The predeployed AA cosplay pipis are the cherry on top.
>>1195433 >when the boss is designed around punishing you for clumping your ops, and you start the map with a 3x3 square of tiles to work with You also start with three deployment slots on a boss with at least three phases. I think it runs on a much more comfortable pace than MT-10 shitting out birds and enemies all together and asking you to wake up a dps while the saint still advances in its hard hitting ground mode or EX-8 giving you 2 ranged and 2 melee and asking you rotate to get out ranged damage while trying to finagle healing to the ranged damage dealer and then slapping out the matriarch statue and saint in that unreachable top corner while beamers come in. S-5 was functionally a single tight lane the whole run with the core mission just being to manage your deployments so that you dodge or were ready to tank the ranged nukes, same as S-4 but with much laxer timings.
>>1195523 >I think it runs on a much more comfortable pace than MT-10 Perhaps. I didn't have the patience for "appreciating" S-5. Repeating the first 5 minutes of the stage after every failure got old, and it got even older the time it was caused by matriarch statue jumpscare removing my Shu in the middle of the map and forcing me to rethink the strategy from the beginning again. The one good use case for shitty undeployable tiles and they didn't do it.
>>1195484 >I can't afford wasting time and DP plopping down an AA shitter who won't scratch anything after those. Except the Boss's first flying phase which comes alongside a rush of other airborne enemies in EX-8 and S-5 (or you can just use contrail) >>1195559 >matriarch statue jumpscare removing my Shu in the middle of the map The statue doesn't remove the deployed op though I will give you that is probably the cheapest part of challenge mode. Though you can skip it entirely and burst the boss directly since it's the home stretch.
>>1195575 >The statue doesn't remove the deployed op I could swear it did, I guess she got two tapped by boss+swordsman and I didn't notice because I was focusing on the former.
>>1195586 If the boss pisses moves enough to piss on the floor when it spawns and you don't have a healer skill going it's basically a wipe every time I think. The boss has to slowly cross the whole stage with a joke of a health bar (even with the 20% hp shields) to win, so as long as the sniper phase didn't eat up your panic deploys I think it's workable. Or you just gank the boss on wake with Typhon and/or Lemuen
>>1195575 >Except the Boss's first flying phase which comes alongside a rush of other airborne enemies in EX-8 and S-5 I was using Thorns and Fia and honestly they weren't a huge issue for those, guess AoE is kind of overlooked in general.

>>1195433 It's even better, the boss punishes you for grouping your ops, but if you don't have them close enough together its auto will just delete the one person in range, also it's flying and almost every ranged tile is a sleep tile, so it's a pain in the ass to actually use most of the ones that aren't bunched, also the boss is an aoe shitfest so you'll have to find a way to get a healer to cover them if you are using them, and you pretty much have to use the range tiles because there's so much flying shit. And the final walking phase in challenge mode getting a shield and walking into the box with virtually no delay with your only deployable tiles without sleep to stop it being directly on top of another aoe shitter is just an extra dick move to top everything off.

>>1199812 Just not a big fan of it, specially since I started it too early (Anons kept telling me to do it IMMEDIATELY) and that mostly consisted of bashing my head against the first 2 floors of IS3 and dying to the boss over and over. Even after I had a good team, I just didn't like the prospect of losing all my progress because of random bullshit in a stage I've never seen before, which happened in IS4 quite a bit. As for IS5, I've barely touched it.
Oh neat, forgot we got a new map. Let me guess, Ascalon trivializes the emerald tiles?
>>1199820 IS5 is really easy to cheese unlock blueprint squad, pick up the lamp on floor 1 and then just reroll everything into wish nodes if you pick up Ulpipi and get him to e2 you can probably even solo the final boss with his s3 also going into boskys will give you extra score

I just hit a deer that came out of nowhere >>1199820 I would just grab the skin and leave, IS5 is a very fun one at low difficulty. In the floor one encounter don't go for talons, that just makes it take forever, go for lamp.

Oh well, maybe next time. >>1199837 There is no "just" grabbing the skin when it's 125 levels in, my highest level is just 27 on IS3 and IS5 is still on level 1. I'm even gonna make the Nyomontis IS nyodule for this since people told me it's good.
>>1199853 the Rosmontis IS module is a bit of a meme if you're just farming levels, you probably won't need it investing in the Archetto IS module would probably be better because it's strong enough to save a run with bad relic rng

>>1199861 At low difficulty Rosmontis could solo it if need be.
>>1199864 not if you don't get any sniper or caster relics Archetto practically comes with her own best relic, making her overall more viable for casual runs
I remembered there are some enemies you have to nuke, but I forgot that the emerald tiles also break Deadeyes.
>>1198356 You have a pretty big redeployment window with 4 mooks doing a full run around the map before she spawns for her final phase. Even then, she does 2 full stops before entering the blue box. You have all the time in the world to prepare accordingly. Git gud.
Well, that was easy. Just like Pepe's event.
>Give her a promotion >She immediately strips to her underwear What did she mean by this?
I'm guessing this is the way, right? It'd let her spam S2 more often, at least. I can't afford her other module anyways because it uses the new mats (Can't even craft the stuff yet) and it's only useful against other devils.

thought about getting ines module but it doesnt increase the bind so whats the point
Trim get, I'm not sure if the hardest part was killing the shit in the middle on the last flood or the second invulnerability making it take too long to kill the jackass in phase 2 making the robot have too long to be able to ignore blockers. Also every op I brought other than Gladiia, Ulpipi, and Lumen got deployed multiple times.
>>1204431 And Spec2, forgot about her, she just ate shit from the robot until the last loop.
>>1204431 the stuff in the middle was the worst part for me, especially the arrow bitch who kills everyone from across the map
>>1204508 Honestly the minibosses weren't that bad for me, the runner got killed by Wagie between the Ines and Gladiia binds, shieldfag got it popped by the same Andreana s2 I used to slow the rape machines and was promptly eaten alive by Skadi, and I just dumped Spectre1 on the archer when she turned up since she just came up for redeployment from eating shit from the first round of laser spam. 2 block fuckers and the rape machines were what got Mostima and Crownslayer brought in.
>>1204431 Mechanist is the only enemy that only goes through the top lane, so if you teleport him to the middle with Yu, you can focus all your firepower there, making it significantly easier
>>1204562 the 2 block dudes at the same time mechanist is reducing everyone's block with lightning gave me the most trouble but after i figured that out it was just a matter of doing damage... and i ended up stalling the arrow lady with swire
>>1204573 Honestly kind of worked out doing it like I did because just having Ulpianus facetank him because it left everything spread out to dodge the lasers. That's funny now that I think about it though because if you really wanted you could redeploy Yu and pull the robot into the middle with him before going to phase 2, the only other enemy on the bottom spawns before the robot anyway.
its over... ii really need to pick up some other hobby
If anyone is curious I was able to face tank mechanist with an s2 m1 on ulpianus but it felt a bit dangerous.

>>1205736 >Iteration Provident/Phototaxis. Ascalon's iteration in Decision F/3019226. She held back the seventh sun with the lives of countless unbelievers, yet it still fell resolutely. >“I once danced with the flames, but they feared me and ultimately abandoned me. They forgot what power lies hidden within the darkest suffering. Follow me. Should this millennia-long night ever end, I shall personally strike down every sun.” Those would be some weird voiceliens
>>1205766 She's so cool....
a casual player friend of mine asked me to come up with a squad for him he could take into any fight is this well balanced enough?
>>1205776 no one here does damage so he'll probably get fucked and spend hours on harder stages
>>1205776 Warmy without a ritualist/Yu is crap Suzu + Istina is redundant Vigna is not that good, even as a second vanguard Ifrit's range is too restrictive to be the primary Arts damage dealer Montis could really use am atk buffer or def debuffer What's dagda's role? I'd rather have a block-2 or second block-3 instead of all those block-1s. A centurion or reaper maybe?
>>1205787 >>1205800 so is this better?

>>1205837 i suppose having pepe there to crush every map would be considered more balanced in a way...
>>1205837 Yes. I'd still replace Warmy with a better Arts damage dealer Your friend has Pepe and Rosmontis but nothing better than all those mid 4*s and 5*s?
>>1205879 he says all the better options he has look too old
>>1205907 >cunnyknights Eyja? Goldenglow? Arturia? Angelina? Mint?
>>1205922 >Eyja boobs too big >GG boobs too big >Arturia too tall >Angelina boobs too big >Mint is Mint better than an Ifrit burn module backed Warmy?
>>1205922 i didnt even notice the theme...
>>1205939 Mizuki and Yu If he asks, they're girls
>>1205922 in what fucking world is arturia cunny
>Ascalon's aspd talent bricks this stage I still think solo is doable with perfect frames but gdi
>>1206006 Cease at once.
>>1206011 What? Are these girls too cute for your tastest?
You guys ever noticed that a lot of ambushers don't actually fill the squares of their range and actually have more oblong range?
Ok but seriously, first time i visist on a while. Do you just the ID of your most posted operator or did nymph come for me.
>>1206037 Pretty sure they don't, even if the effects look like they do. Attack ranges are hardcoded to the grid (except for splash damage)
>>1206058 They're random, dummy. It's based on the color of your ID
>>1206058 your ID is the last op that fucked you
>>1206058 it's random, she's gonna suck your brain out
>>1204761 Is that another Arknights survey, or is it unrelated to the game? Also >Designer Toys >>1204909 I suppose that the survey is not really meant to gauge your interests; probably it measures which hobbies attract more people, in order to create merchandise that can appeal to the biggest number of potential clients. If that's a survey for a gacha, that is.
>>1206060 Ascalon does not fill her boxes...
>>1205686 Probably not, I like her base skin more. >>1205939 >is Mint better than an Ifrit burn module backed Warmy? If you need damage, no. If you need a tank on a high tile, or someone to group light enemies toghether, maybe. If you want to try her out, I can put Mint on support
>>1205715 im buying it for the snail
>>1206098 >not right and down one more spot so she can hit them as they spawn skill issue
>>1206141 >if you need a tank on a high tile i can't think of any flying enemies that can only attack high ground units, so why not just use Bubble to tank? also i have my own
>>1206160 the caster probably kills her
>>1206166 yeah i remembered the boneguard after posting that. you can kill it with someone else before deploying her, or just put her in the bottom lane and leave it for someone else, though
>>1206160 >skill issue Probability and timing issue, needing over 40 or dodges on the casters attacks while also not having enough time to kill the buffed up and self-healing flayer
Ah nice, Nymph loves me. Mint best skill is unironically her S1 tho.

>>1206161 >flying enemies that can only attack high ground units Neither do I, but why flying enemies in particular? I usually use her to bait ranged attacks from ground units. Anyway, maybe you may want another tank? On the other hand, if you say that this should be a standard squad to bring in any scenario, maybe Ifrit is the better pick. >also i have my own Nice!

Finally did the 2nd ending on the Sami expedition... tips for the third one?
>>1206370 >demo 100mb >full size 1.68gb Three hours of Nymph in my ears.....
>>1206155 I still have no Idea why there is a snail and why HG hasn't fixed the de-shagged preview on the dynamic compile

>>1206428 i didn't even remember the third ending boss because i only ever did it once and i cleared it first try, then never went for it again you want someone like Degen or og Ch'en who can deal a gorillion damage within 2 or 3 seconds and probably someone to buff them the boss has very small time frames to hit it bring at least 2 strong healers as well
>>1206428 Bring lots of burst
>>1206473 Cute animation >W bonk Fucking jugglers...
>>1206372 I could never forget the cutest 3*
