>>874640 I claim this thread as Pinus territory.

>>874653 My bad bro, I forgot the Previous Thread and had to redo.

Finally that shitty pepe thread is over and I can post again

Oh neat, I got a nice and bright red ID this time.

Anyway, if thread's all good, I'm gonna go back to writing my novella. I'll try to keep an eye on updates. >>874678 Yeah, my ID's my favorite color too. Totally not intentional reroll, I didn't ask help from the jannies to change it /s

>>874673 Oh shit my ID almost spells Ceobe

>>874684 i think this is the closest anyone has been

cob check

>>874683 Now just pray that some random bullshit doesn't change your ID. Seems like I get 2-3 IDs per thread, sometimes it even bounces back to an old ID. >>874691 It's a nice colour, at least.

>>874695 otzobe, the cooler ceobe

>light blue ID too bad that this (almost) Ceobe ID will be gone in 2 days since I'm traveling

>>874706 >the cooler ceobe

>>874730 can't believe they killed those glasses for a stupid hammer

cleaned some inactives, have nine slots open. i can't imagine there are very many of you that i'm not already friends with though.

>>874787 For a moment I was excited to maybe get a new fren, but frens we are already. Then again, I'm already struggling to repay my clue debts so I should keep my list as is.

>>874787 sent

>>874683 Luv me Nymph

>>874787 My time has come! Seventeen slots open for me, so I still gotta fill those up before I start booting inactives. >>874805 Nymph birthday soon, just one more week.

>>874787 >>874808 I already have both of you on my friends list

>>874787 already bros, bro

I will try posting from work. Maybe my ID will stay the same.

>>874822 Should I >give morimens a go again >wait for that solstice resonance game instead

>>874815 >>874817 >>874799 figured, since i've already looked for frens here specifically at least once, and had been around the 4chan general on and off since i got started with the game >>874804 those defense layouts have been helping me a lot in ra2

>>874867 >spoiler good to know im not completely retarded. glad it's working out

>>874921 it was i who was the retard, i tried adding to the designs and slapped down some cursed mires on one, but lol direswine are coded so they damage anything they pass through

>>874928 the direswine raids fucking suck, i reloaded my save every time i got them because i didnt wanna deal with it. Though i imagine they dont actually do that much damage to the base as long as they get slowed somehow so it might be easier to just let them get stacked and blow them all up at once

>>874867 Pretty sure I've had you since 4kazdel though I added Dr.S from here

>>874972 Fucking vpn...

>>874966 i downgraded from "normal" to normal difficulty and rolled through them with a congaline of fuck and wisadel, genuinely just hate them because somebody on the balance team has a massive boner for throwing tons of them into any map they show up on >>874972 >>874975 probably, there's a few of you i've had for a long time. noticed doctor banana might be dead, though...

>>874808 Sent. Always hurts to kick someone out but if they haven't been on in 5 months, who knows if they'll even come back.

Eblana LOVE

Dr.S, your lupo is stuck.

>>875005 5 months is more than enough IMO. If someone's been inactive for 3+, it's safe to assume they quit the game. That, or they're playing on a different server. >>875029 NYOOOOOOOOOOOO (I'll swap her out, she should be ready now anyways)

Aw, what do you mean the Hibi outfit is already gone? I thought it was gonna last the same as the other new ones. >>875040 >That, or they're playing on a different server. Can you opt into CN or do you need a VPN for that? Because that'd be a ton of work just to lose your 6 month foresight privileges and have to read everything in Mandarin (Or rely on shitty MTLs).

>>875053 Not sure how people do it exactly, though I imagine VPNs play a part in it. MTL for new stories is common, but the main reason people play on CN is for new content sooner.

>>875053 i tried to hold back but couldnt take it anymore

What is next after CC ends, Eblana or the Laterano story? >>874787 Sent >>874808 I'll have to check for an inactive before sending

>>875396 Eblana --> M3 (Chapter 15) --> Babel rerun --> 6th anniv (Laterano). I'm waiting on the next, non-collab CN event before I decide how much to pull for Mon3tr.

>can only make 99 energy drinks at a time what scam

>>875410 I believe my saves should be enough to pull for Eblana and Monster

>>875418 Should have axed making energy drinks entirely and had food be automatically consumed. Obviously consume wheat first, then have other ingredients be toggleable. Shouldn't have been manual at all. >>875429 From the current outlook, the only units I care about are Mon3tr and Hoshi2. Maybe I could pull on Leizi2, but she's definitely not a must-have for me. Hopefully Episode 16 has someone good; I'd take Talulah or Mantra in a heartbeat.

>>875097 I'm gonna wait and see what her second skin is. I'm hoping for something more knightly and cool instead of cutesy.

>>875439 >I'd take Talulah or Mantra in a heartbeat. It'll be Nine

>>875410 I'm at 150 rolls. I believe in the M3/Exu/Lemuen pull. Everything else is gonna have to be a skip. Also you mentioned Hoshi2, what does she do? I haven't looked at any of her showcases so I don't even know her class.

>>875439 it'd just be nice if i didn't have to spam click to get them made, though it's not really an issue until you're basically past material concerns

>>875454 you can hold the button too, spam clicking is still a little faster though

>>875451 Pain. They better improve her personality, otherwise she's a total skip. >>875452 Arts Defender, basically has F/GO's Guts as a talent. Survives fatal damage up to a certain threshold, and recovers if she stops taking damage. Can take up to double her health in damage taken, which is pretty remarkable all things considered. Not sure how good her damage is, but her base skill is a must have (+3% FAC productivity w/ Swire, up from the famous +2%).

>>875467 yeah, i tried holding it and i'd rather just rapid fire click

>>875472 Oh yeah, also this

>>875429 I'm actually considering skipping Mon3tr. Turning a monster into a cute anime girl rubs me the wrong way but maybe my opinion on her will change once I play through Chapter 15.

>still have three expansions to go before getting the hoshi skin man

>>875482 I always thought of Mon3tr as a cute daughter like Kal should be but isn't. I am only rolling for Mon3tr and Haruka, however I always go for sexy blondes even when I say I won't

How the fuck there's already these many posts just in the time I went to sleep.

>>875616 >I always go for sexy blondes even when I say I won't

>>875734 A beautiful creature

>>875650 Welcome to timezones bwo

>>875785 It's always dead as fuck on yuro/asian timezones bro.

>>875789 Seems like we had a lot of new activity yesterday and that just carried over for the next bread.

>>875472 Is this a revive mechanic (Like Mato and Rita) or is it like Pokemon's Sturdy where you just barely survive (Think Specter)? And, more importantly, is it usable more than once per battle? Either way I'll keep an eye out. Never felt like rolling for summer units but meh, if she's good enough and there's nothing exciting in the near future then I just might.

I still can't get used to a lower post count. Pls help.

>>875959 You will chain yourself to the radiator until the shaking stops. Go play video games or something to occupy your mind.

>>875986 To think of it I'm surprised how much vidya I have actually played after dropping 4chan. Maybe it's true that 4chan is now more social media than imageboard.

Good afternoon, Shining love.

>>876044 She'll get an alt soon. All we need is to keep believing

>>875482 Hey listen, it's not her fault. Considering the circumstances, Kal did what she had to do. With that said, the design is a little too 'cute'. Sleeves are funni, but I would have liked if she was taller. Some more pronounced fangs too, or something to help her feel more monstrous. >>875839 She stays active while she's taking fatal damage, and if she stops taking damage beneath her threshold, she starts recovering her actual HP. >>875871 >>875973 My wife...

>>875650 We replace posts here with entire threads on 4Kaz. Magnitudes of difference. >>875810 That was mostly me geeking out over my novella, plus the watch party and some new anons joining who were tired of 4Kaz. >>876044 Shining love! I hope she gets an alter for you, anon. Hopefully one where Liz is OK.

>>876565 I will open the game in a bit, phone is charging.

So many 120 senapipis, intimidating...

>>876272 already bros, bro

>>876590 We all stink down here

While I'm toiling away at this: what are some improvements you all want to see to the game? HG has tackled some of the more major requests (and we finally got faster text on EN, thank god), but is there anything else left to change? Stack is coming down the line, so fortunately that's not a concern.

>>876618 add infinite auto to the auto farm options that runs the stage until there's not enough sanity left also add a farming stage for module data blocks

>>876618 It's delusional of me to believe in it but I want collab skins to become permanent after a while. t. The man who missed Jessikot's skin

>>876618 I want to see an attire randomizer.

>>876627 Yeah, the x6 limit is weird. Needs to be uncapped. >>876652 Depends on the collab really, I can see the Hello Kitty ones coming back for instance. Only on another collab, though (I presume that's part of the legal agreement). >>876661 Technically we already have this, but I'd prefer more customization, especially outside of the home screen. It would be pretty funny to have skins be randomly selected, but I imagine the feature would be fairly niche.

>>876667 I have both Carnelian attires - I want to be able to randomly get one of the three (plus her default) every single time I run a new stage.

>>876590 Post your ID if you're so nonstinky

Oh yeah this place exists, I forgot. Did it also devolve into a circlejerk shithole like 4chan? Just got a 3day for reporting the suzunigger.

>>876751 nyo

i jerk my circle

>>876618 Make IS not just for chink compniggers. Stop RA from inevitably going down the same compnigger path.

>>876673 Yeah, I figured. Not a bad idea honestly, especially since combinations would randomly pop up. >>876751 No, our only issue here is that things are slow. Salesposting and cuckposting are banned, so people can't really shitpost here.

>>876783 >Salesposting and cuckposting are banned I require proof of this claim. Feels too good to be true.

>>876796 You can check yourself bro. https://8chan.moe/gacha/rules.html >2 : "Salesposting" is not welcome here. This includes, but is not limited to, SensorTower charts, app store rankings/ratings, "TikTok hours", etc. >3 : No "cuckposting". This includes, but is not limited to, terminology and/or imagery such as "QoS', "BBC", the "Blacked" branding, and various phrases used to imply that (You) have been cucked, such as "X's POV", "X fucked this", "X is so lucky", etc. Also >4 : No posting Twitter/Reddit/etc screenshots (or copypastas) for the purposes of ragebait. To think about it I wonder what chimps on 4chan shitposted animal gore hard enough for rule 8 to be a thing.

>>876802 What the fuck, this site has jannies that aren't powertripping niggers like the rest of the internet?

>>876802 >Cuckposting is actually banned. Impressive tbh.

>>874787 >>876272 We are friends! >>874808 Added.

>>876866 CUTE!!!!!!

>>876812 This is the Good Place, bro. It may be fairly dead, but at least you won't get frustrated here. Boredom in exchange for calm. A fine deal, if I say so myself.

Gladidi my beloved!

>>876887 Eh honestly it's not as dead as I expected. I can't have a gorillion /v/ threads up giving me dopamine because the only real thread on /v/ with activity is the IRL news thread and the BAnigger general (why the fuck aren't they here on /gacha/ tho?) so that's the only downside. And even then now that I typed all that out I realize pointlessly shitposting on /v/ is not a good use of my time either.

Nyaruhodo

>>876941 Technically, no social media is a good use of time, but personally I'm content to chill here and talk w/e with fellow Arknights addicts. This is the community I know best, and I appreciate the homely feel. There are a few other generals I want to know better, but I need to get more caught up first. >>876844 Thanks bwo

>>876946 I will argue there's a difference between imageboards and social media. And the line in the sand is exactly when normalniggers start invading. Phase 1 and 2 are strictly imageboardy, 3 is the line in the sand, 4 onward is just social media. It's not about spamming who you want to fuck, it's not about talking about "off-topic" shit, it's not about having some arguments turn heated. It's strictly when normalfags join and start turning the community from feeling like a small hangout at someone's digital home to feeling like hanging out in a digital mall, and eventually like hanging out in public watching ads that pretend to be "content".

>>876963 So, essentially, /soc/ and every other board infected by it.

>>876952 Rare femdoc appearance. Only speaking for myself, but I appreciate more F!Doc. >general talk A Sarkazbro's been doing CN CC runs, and Asky Mod Y is surprisingly good. You don't miss out on a lot of damage, and the boost in survivability is sorely welcome, especially for reducing RNG. When nicheknights boils down to the latter, any way of improving the odds saves literal hours of sanity. Friend count is up to 91. I appreciate all the anons who added, I'll do my best to distribute clues. As for my god damn novella, it's making slow progress as usual. I wrote a ~700 word scene that I decided to cut because it'd spoil the plot, but it helped me get a sense for what's happening out of view. Also adds a layer of schizo shit. Demons are really fun to write, they're like anti-heroes who give no shits. They're not without sympathy or morals, but they know how to prioritize themselves. >>876963 I'm gonna need a minute to think about this. From a read, it doesn't look wrong, but I want to properly gather my thoughts.

>>876968 To add to my schizophrenic musings, I will add the fact I think humans are psychic to a little extent in some way I cannot explain. You can just TELL when someone is not joining in good faith, there's extreme examples like the suzujeet obviously, but largely you can "know" somehow to different degrees. Though this sixth sense is more developed in some people than others. Tell me if you want more schizophrenia or if I should just fuck off and talk about AK or at least something else more coherent.

>>876963 My thoughts, condensed for accessibility: >the danger of pinks is overstated, they're much rarer than dudebros >a lot of genuine women exist, and suffer just as much if not even more from dudebros. You can't be a woman on the internet without attracting hate, which sucks and deserves to be changed. >community size aside, a lot of this comes down to quality conversion. If you turn enough greens to blacks and browns to greens, you can keep the spirit of the community alive even in your own little corner. It might be too much to shield the community at large, but that's what sub-communities are for. Can't help everyone. >AK has succeeded thus far through its niche appeal and genuine care on Hypergryph's part. If Endfield attempts to remain niche, it's likely the community can be preserved, even if it'll be different than before. Some change isn't bad, it's extreme change which presents an issue. >quality of discussion >>> staying on-topic >>876997 You're basically talking about social cues, like how you get clued in by the way people talk. There's something about their phrasing or tone which immediately puts you off, putting your intuition on guard. I wouldn't necessarily call that psychic, but our brains are rather weird. As always, I'll talk about what others want to discuss. The hard part is getting people to chat.

who gets the tokens from the cc shop

>>877080 Jessikot so that she's complete

>>877080 That Jessica is begging for completion, but OTOH you can always spook her. Lapp2 gets closer to max pot (which in turn would mean buffing her first talent). Logos would get his Talent 2 buffed, but it won't make a huge difference. Is the bottom right being Leizi2 implying you'll pull for her? If so, you can save yourself some pulls by holding that pot for her.

>>876968 >A Sarkazbro's been doing CN CC runs, and Asky Mod Y is surprisingly good. You can apparently get a lot of value from it with IS hp boosts too. Still salty bout the effect on principle and it having bugged interactions with s2's corpse explosion for at least two months. >You don't miss out on a lot of damage Crazy how low value x can be at times.

>>877093 i was planning on a max pot leizi yeah

>>877102 It's bugged? TIL. And yeah, the value lost on X is minimal. You're basically choosing between improved slow and improved survivability, both of which have their uses. I still think her mods could be stronger, but at least they aren't totally useless. >>877104 Save the pot for her, then. It'll net you more pulls in the medium term, and it'll give you more margin with your rolls going into 2026.

>>877025 >>the danger of pinks is overstated, they're much rarer than dudebros That's only the case in this modern wokeslop era, back then when females were normal they were far more dickthirsty and would go for anyone, especially the ones outside the local queen bee's immediate friend circle. >>a lot of genuine women exist, and suffer just as much if not even more from dudebros. You can't be a woman on the internet without attracting hate, which sucks and deserves to be changed. Nah I will argue it doesn't need to change, at least not on image boards, here we are anons and if we have a penis or a vagina is largely irrelevant. I will instead argue in the (imageboard) internet women get hate exactly due to trying to use that to attention whore so often it now has that stigma behind it, people instantly replying LONDON or other locations to any hints a poster is female also doesn't help, but that feels like it's 4chan normalfag culture because I haven't seen it here. >>community size aside, a lot of this comes down to quality conversion. If you turn enough greens to blacks and browns to greens, you can keep the spirit of the community alive even in your own little corner. It might be too much to shield the community at large, but that's what sub-communities are for. Can't help everyone. >>quality of discussion >>> staying on-topic I will also argue this is not exactly about quality, but simply being genuine. You can (rightfully) argue my schizophrenic bullshit is off-topic and low quality shitposts, but what you can't argue is that I'm being ironic or insincere. >>AK has succeeded thus far through its niche appeal and genuine care on Hypergryph's part. If Endfield attempts to remain niche, it's likely the community can be preserved, even if it'll be different than before. Some change isn't bad, it's extreme change which presents an issue. I mean kind of? I will argue AK on normalfag spaces does have a decent parasite problem with how often there's the "it's too anime now, I miss when it was a realistic warfare story" posting basically every single event since kotmontis' debut ages ago.

>>877124 I do think AK's lost some of its tactical appeal, which is unfortunate, but HG went full big-picture. Act 2 was the worst of this, so we'll see if Act 3 can continue to recover. >I will instead argue in the (imageboard) internet women get hate exactly due to trying to use that to attention whore so often it now has that stigma behind it, people instantly replying LONDON or other locations to any hints a poster is female also doesn't help, but that feels like it's 4chan normalfag culture because I haven't seen it here. Yeah, it's a difficult problem. On one hand, toxic women brought it upon themselves. On the other, a lot of innocent people end up getting caught in the crossfire, perpetuating and exacerbating the problem. There needs to be more genuine, apathetic conversation in general, where gender isn't considered or implied unless it's directly involved in the conversation.

>>877173 No AI sloppa!

>>877203 Leave CE out of this! I don't like sloppa either, especially since it empowers corpa and hurts artists, but I don't mind anons using it if they're just trying to make some porn. Try to be creative, though.

Soon enough I shall have maxed out dorms. Soon...

>>877613 and then you can do the rosmontis combo

Meanwhile, the Ambience on the newly upgraded dorm was barely above 4000 and I don't think I can fit much more here without making it fugly. I've been wanting to dismantle this dorm and make something else here anyways, I think I'll move the arcade stuff to an Activity Room. >>877619 I don't have the Montis, but do go on.

>>877624 rosmontis + two good (normal) gold producers in a gold factory (save eunectes and weedy for a combo with purestream), ebenholz + two others in a trading post (i use cheeto and proviso), ling and dusk in CC, virtuosa, czerny and iris in dorms. with my setup, the ebenholz combo is 89% trading post efficiency (but proviso artificially inflates it through her special skill), and rosmontis is picrel after kal's paltry 2% bonus

>>876611 Why do the senapipis keep saying that >>876682 Surely there are other <100pipis like myself... 59183219 >>876618 Not really answering, but this reminds me I didn't even realize roll history is a real thing on CN global still doesn't have. Seeing xitter people clamoring for it in official AK EN posts clued me in, wonder when we'll get it >>876930 I am once again thanking the fishes for bailing my ass through my first CC, need to 90 Gladidi next

We also still don't have birthdays

>this doesn't make sense if you missed RA1 well that's unfortunate

>>877740 We're not shown her learning he's the sand soldier in RA 1 either iirc

Eh, it's cluttered but it'll have to do for now.

>>877758 iirc it was implied she found out during one of the routes, but either way it's just a giant void in the story for people who didn't do it, they did meet i'm pretty sure

>>877759 Strange, I think that bed counts as being blocked. Been watching for a few minutes and nobody has slept on it.

That's more like it. Not sure why everyone bunched up to watch Silence sleep, though.

>>877767 basically, it's just a little unfortunate that RA1 was one and done content, that also had some actual, somewhat important story tied to it. IS1 by comparison was just cob's bad drug trip, and they wove her running around on shrooms into the plot of great chief gavial, which was the only story relevant part of it anyways.

>>877717 To be fair you're playing RA2, nobody there deserves a chance to act

>>877759 Nice. That wall above the couch needs something to spice it up though.

>>877811 i mean...linebreaker, al-rafiq, and the ruinbringer were all reprisals from RA1, they weren't too bad.

Say no more. Also this dorm gives 2.25 morale from ambience for some reason, is there special furniture that does that? My other max ambience dorms just give 2+2.

>>877857 >Say no more. Meant for >>877832, of course.

>>877857 Durin check?

>>877857 special furniture is a weird thing to call durin operator skills that modify the room's gain show up in the total

>>877857 Perfect addition. Makes it much more cozy. Which set includes a place-able window?

Your reward for spending so much in furniture is more currency to spend on furniture. Nice. >>877865 No Durins around. >>877866 Ah, it was Penance. I didn't notice that none of my other dorms had recovery ops assigned to them, dumb mistake of mine. >>877883 No idea. I went on a buying spree just now but I'm pretty sure I already had that window. Is there any way to check where it's from without hunting through all the furniture sets?

Are you interested in the September collab?

>>878476 If the mana based liberator is real and the rest of the characters are as intresting it might be super fun. Like the music a lot too, with https://youtu.be/cVfQBLdIUXk?si=nxSk_RZsmwljAKxA being my favorite. If it really is dream bind that be super cool too since AoD kind of seemed to reset a lot of foreshadowing for that stuff.

>>878476 Not sure yet. I don't know anything about Ave Mujica and haven't seen a music band anime before. I'll probably watch the anime eventually to see if it hypes me up.

>>878476 Not really. I'm not into the franchise and don't plan on getting into it, I'm also pining for Legend of Hei and Mohun 2. I'm ready to be pleasantly surprised though

I like this fish

>>878476 Going into it, not at all. However, I'm keeping an open mind. I didn't care about R6 either, and I ended up enjoying both of those event stories.

>>878476 I know nothing about Ave Mujica but I will still take it over westoid crap or wannabe westoid crapcom collabs.

>>878476 Is that the one with the goth idols? If so, I'm interested.

>>878542 >Mohun 2 That term has been tainted for me

>>878476 i didn't know we even had a collab happening in september...

>>878418 For me it was silksong. WAS

>>878476 I haven't heard of it prior to the announcement, but I think it'll be good. I won't lie that it stings a bit going from the Destiny collab which I was excited for, to something unknown to me

Also speaking of furniture, last thread I got done with "Oops! All mahjong and" I also set up some templates for it so that I can easily incorporate it into any new furniture set

The jerboa fears the montis

>>876618 In no particular order: A revamp of the credit shop: add new items to be sold and new operators to get when a certain amount of credits are spent. Make all the past forniture sets available, and let people buy multiple copies of the same forniture. Since we're at it, make the ambience of the rooms a bit less dependent on the number of forniture; making a room aesthetically pleasing and then dicovering that you are 1k ambience short is annoying. Add the possibility to exchange the rare forniture drops between players. My laundry is still missing a table and I have like 6 washing machines. Add a mode where the operator level is capped to the suggested level for that stage. Maybe add restrictions to operators added after the stage releaase, too.

>>878476 No interest whatsoever. Haven't watched it, don't really plan to, and I don't like the idea of a new Sarkaz op being a colllab because they magically got turned into one. Isekai-wise it'd be fun, but I really don't want to pull for them... >>879129 Well done bro, those look nice. >>879188 Lots of good suggestions here. I feel like the whole ambience system needs to be revamped, having it tied to specific pieces of furniture really limits creativity as you said. >operator level is capped tfw everyone is Elite 0...

>>879299 They are all normal, people in 4chan shitposted about Phantom appearing yet again but there is a high chance it will be Iris' group and their castle of dreams or just the event happening in Not-Germany because of the Music arts they have.

it is done..

>>879331 Easy skip, then. Like I've said before, I'm mostly looking forward to Chapter 16 + Nasti spook in a Kjerag event. >>879369 Women are at their best when they're plump in all the right areas.

and now i can stop thinking

>>879384 I need to do the ones about modules and the flag. But the map itself is annoyinging bad..

>>877214 Tbh it's generally worse than what a competent artist puts out and looks soulless, anyone with the means to hire an actual artist that uses ai instead is retarded. Mind you every publicly traded company will go out of their way to be the biggest shit possible to make their shareholders 2 cents nowadays, but it'll blow up in their faces in the long run.

>>879097 I see. No wonder that window fit so well with the wallpaper and floor. I wasn't intentionally going for the Tailor Shop set but I realized that the wall/floor combo I was gonna use was already in use in another dorm, the Tailor combo looked nice and I went for it.

>>879129 A """jerboa""" and two Silences? This image is clearly AI generated, those bastards at Rhine did it again. Also that's some pretty nice decor, might steal an idea or two in order to bump my last dorm to 5000 ambience.

>>879256 It's been almost 4 hours, still got any spots up?

>>876812 The closest we ever got was when a janny exposed the suzunigger as a pajeet. He got demoted for this, as a matter of principle, I imagine. His sacrifice will never be forgotten.

>>879682 Sure! I have 22 spots left.

Ok, I decided to visit the base of an /akg/bro who hasn't been on for 3 months before I kick him and not only is his reception room completely empty, but there are two Dr.Fs here. Is this a bug? Can you actually remove all your furniture? Does Dr.F have two accounts? I am so confused.

>>879813 Seems Rhine Tech really did learn how to clone people

>>879813 also no, I only have 1 account

>>879813 if he left before the base update that made it so you could customize the reception room, his probably hasn't had a chance to populate

>>879813 Went to the person who I think you're talking about (Dr.A) and yeah there's no furniture. Though I can't find my clone

>>879818 >>879816 What the fug. The empty room bug is explainable but not the doppelganger. I'm not kidding, that's not just another Scene it's two of you. >>879822 This is another base from an anon who disappeared before the base update and it's very much empty, so I guess it's a bug related to that. My guess is that the game automatically populated your reception room when you first enter the base after the update. They didn't do that, so it's forever empty.

>>879828 it was just a fixed room like the workshop or office before, so, makes sense that they had to throw free furniture into it the first time the base is opened after the update.

>>879826 There are two Dr.As who haven't logged in since May, actually. This one's Dr.Ar, more specifically, and the bug still seems to persist on repeat visits. Either there's someone copying you or something really weird is going on. I'll kick the other Dr.A just because this one's clearly cursed. God knows what will happen to me if I kick him.

>>879775 Okay, no more fucking around with cursed bases, just sent you the request.

>>879828 I had Doppelgangers appear for years when visiting other people bases, I don't think its a new thing. If I remember correctly, with the base update the reception room got a little bigger, and maybe that's when they removed the forniture... does anyone remember if that's the case?

>>879828 Weird glitches >>879839 Yeah I went to Dr.Ar and saw those same people minus my clone, weird stuff

>>879828 >>879849 Visitors usually hang around until they've been seen visiting. AFK Docs will tend to have dupe visitors for this reason. The complete lack of furniture is the update thing, though.

Might as well join in since I have a lot of free space.

>>879256 >>879894 sent

>>879890 Seem like that's the case. Went to another /akg/friend that hasn't logged in in 3 months and they also had no furniture and a clone

>>879894 I sure hope all these people I'm kicking return at some point, specially after the next friend increase. I keep a list of them and I check in from time to time. Also, sent. >>879890 I never quite understood how the game determines who shows up in a base. I figured it's just whoever visited last. By the way, I found a better one: Dr.K's (Dead since June) base has FOUR of the same guy.

>>879894 Sent

>>879894 already bros, bro

>>879919 Oh, I'm retarded. I forgot to black out the name on top.

>>879919 For me he only had 3 Dr.J's

>>879919 >>879920 >>879912 Gunlance love indeed Thanks bros (and anyone who adds after got like 20+ spots even before trimming inactive people). >>879927 Then thanks for being a bro bro.

I don't know why I'm so bored with these dead weeks (I'm not touching CC) when I could just be clearing my massive CM backlog. >>879989 GL users winning as always.

Love fortress defenders

Man, remember when we were actually shown boss paths before the stage started to we could plan accordingly?

>>880014 Midriffknights

>>880088 real bboobb posting hours there were a lot of things they did very differently for the first few chapters, though it's hard to remember them all at this point

>>880096 Love midriffknights

>>880078 Really hope firewhistle finally gets her skin sometime soon

>>880185 Hey, this oni girlfailure got one so I'm sure it'll be Firewhistle's turn... eventually.

>>880185 That's wild she doesn't have one yet, it's been over 2 years now hasn't it? That's gotta be up there considering they've been hitting the cursed 4*s recently.

>>880363 >>880377 Yeah bout two and a half now since she dropped with Chong so maybe her time will actually be soon enough. Suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

>>879894 >>879256 sent bwos

>>879531 No disagreements here. >>879894 Already have you added <.> >>880096 Lovely Mudrock abs...

>>880185 >>880519 She deserves a skin, her design is cool. Speaking of which: Forget Necrass, that bitch is overrated. The real allure of this banner is the snake. Look at her, all caked up. This girl may be an ore specialist, but she's built like a sweets plant. Absolute must have.

>>880597 Banana may be overrated but I need her to complete my Dublinn collection

>>880775 i'm rolling for her because i don't care about any other character in the months after her

lamest shit ive played in a video game

>>880788 Really? Not even Moe3tr? I think I'll be rolling for her as well as Lemuen down the track. Otherwise yeah I am not interested in anyone besides those two

>>880788 You sure you're not forgetting about something very important?

>>880802 >>880803 oh shit i did forget about her

>>880792 >Dr.S Another akg doc I don't have

>>880812 Damn... another child the Doctor neglected

>>880812 For shame.

>>880828 >>880844 What should we do to all of the fags who don't pull for Mon3tr?

>>880828 there are ways she could get my attention more easily

>>880853 Death is the only option.

>>880912 That's my pretty bnuuy!

>>879919 Having dupe docs wasn't that rare even before the base update. Sometimes I even saw my own assistant duplicated when visiting some docks (hasn't happened again so far).

This CM is actually non-trivial without meta units, go figure.

Oi shut it, you didn't even participate.

>>880519 >>880377 Speaking of operators without skins, I've been waiting for years for Haze to get one. I think her base design is cool, but I am curious on how they would change it in the skin.

Also man, I haven't E2'd a non-6* in ages. Hoping she'll be useful for my 5* endeavours, she certainly was when it came to Jonkler at the very least.

Do any of you buy skins for characters you don't use just because you really hate the base skin, or am I the only one? Pic related.

>>881060 Honestly really surprised she hasn't gotten one in all this time especially since shes one of skades. Would be hard to top her base though.

>>881091 Concrete's trying to break out! >>881124 I tend to buy skins if they look really good, even if I don't use the unit often. I've reigned it in over the years to try and avoid overspending, but I'll settle for a couple every now and then. >>881148 Shouldn't be much longer, they're almost out of 4*.

Aaaaand that's where my CM clearing spree stops. I hate this stage. >>881124 I bought Gravel's skin because it's really nice but then she became a common sight in my base, can't think of any skins I bought for units that literally don't get to do anything.

>>881124 I don't have the op for that

Trying to think of some topics to discuss. Let's see how these three work. >AK has a lot of character designs, is there anything you tend to prefer? I don't just mean 'big boobs', I'm talking particular aesthetics. Armor, belts, theme etc. >Has AK's scope gotten too broad over the years? Act II was the worst of this, but does this apply to other events as well? >We talk a lot about wives, fucks, and kills, but which Operator needs a hug the most? I feel so bad for Lutonada...

>>881148 >>881159 What 4* are still missing skins? Dur-Nar, Vermeil, May are getting one, that leaves Contrail, Lutonada, Humus, Bubble, Estelle, and, well, Luo Xiaohei. Hope I don't have to wait for another collaboration before seeing the skin I want.

>>881189 >is there anything you tend to prefer? I don't just mean 'big boobs', I'm talking particular aesthetics Sleek and high tech. I'm very biased towards Nori because I'm obsessed with Pinus and Dorothy's Vision was the first event I managed to clear. The guy does smoke too much crack for my taste sometimes, but overall he's got a very neat aesthetic. I also like military stuff, I think it's cool. I almost bought Dobermann's outfit just for the sake of it, and I wouldn't be mad at a Hellagur jumpscare because he looks cool. >>Has AK's scope gotten too broad over the years? Act II was the worst of this, but does this apply to other events as well? I doubt Victoria's problems came from them trying to do too much at once, as the gameplay didn't change wildly and side story quality remained overall high. I have no clue what happened to Victoria, in fact. Likely a lot of rewrites, as many have speculated, but why? And I don't think it's the story itself overreaching. One might think it is because the Sarkaz conflict seems like it came outta nowhere but they've been handling Originium and the Precursors pretty well so far. >which Operator needs a hug the most? The only right answer is Amiya. Montis too.

>>881189 >AK has a lot of character designs, is there anything you tend to prefer? I don't just mean 'big boobs', I'm talking particular aesthetics. Armor, belts, theme etc. Big boobs Personally I love Shu's design and CE's design. Also most of everything done by the now departed Cenm0. >Has AK's scope gotten too broad over the years? Act II was the worst of this, but does this apply to other events as well? Yes absolutely. We've gone from relatively local conflicts to endless "apocalyptic" events on every single corner of Terra. I would argue that Act II was not in fact the worst of it but it was the beginning of it. The side events like the seaborn, collapsals, and so on and so forth. With every single one of them being world-ending it's quite hard to take any of them or any other stakes seriously. >We talk a lot about wives, fucks, and kills, but which Operator needs a hug the most? I feel so bad for Lutonada... Kal'tsit is a good candidate even if she'd hate it. Her entire life is just one long series of failures after failures after failures. And the one time she reached out for help in desperation ended with her best friend dead on the floor and her creator pretty much choosing to kill all life instead of actually following through on his "believe in the future" spiel

>>881189 >Designs I love race specific clothing the most and think plastic is an underplayed part of AK's style recently with characters getting more crazy cloth shows recently. >Scope I feel like HG misunderstood how story content is supposed to be divided in acts. The Victoria arc is constrained to a single city the entire time and feels like 3x the clusterfuck of Yan and Chernobog because no one really got the respect they needed from the story. There are hundreds of involved characters overlapping and then getting gutted by poor pacing, repetitive arcs, and rewrites. If the story went like 3 chapters for Victorians/Glasgow saving Londinum's residents and establishing how the sarkaz took over > 1 chapter Dubblin positioning Eblana vs the sarkaz > 1 chapter roaches dealing with the lifebone and sarkaz defectors > 1 chapter followers explaining the nuke about to be dropped (instead of the Confessor stuff being jettisoned) > final push past Nach into Theresa section and then ending with Theresis send off and Priestess set up as 2 chapters it would've been more digestible. It would also fix a problem chapter 15 has with feeling way too close to the Victoria arc since it literally includes the actual ending. >Hugs Personally nominating Asky, but everyone needs a hug sometime regardless of personal suffering.

>>881189 >AK has a lot of character designs, is there anything you tend to prefer? I love cool and elegant characters, so the stories set in Siracusa are always a threat. Except when the skins for those operators are generic streetwear, looking at you Vigil and Sussurro. Penance enbodies this stile to perfection. Second comes the "tacticool" stile, such the operators from Blacksteel, or several skins from Pioneer/Striker Raythean brand .more skins when? What I like the least is the "Yanese"style. How many operators we need to have in a qipao? By the way, would you like for the infection monitors (the black bracelets with the blue cross) to appear on more operators?

>>881237 >>881259 >Shu and CE Ah yes, beautifully dressed women. I'll always be grateful that we got CE, Even if I think it's dumb that Theresa died twice. >Sleek, high tech, military (+ Nori shoutout) Nori is an absolute legend. He should have had a heavier influence on the game, it would have given its tactical side a much more distinct appeal. Not that the tactical we got is bad, but it really could have shined through him. And yes, he smokes too much crack. >Cenm0 Hard agree. He got what he deserved for his mistake, but his work impressed more often than not. I hope someone adopts Mechanist, >story talk Rewrites are probable (see: Vendela), possibly due to a lack of confidence in reception to the Victorian side. Originium and the Precursors have been handled well, but then we we get to... >world-ending threat of the week This was definitely a problem. Between all of the shit that could end Terra, it felt like too much to juggle. The Seaborn ultimately turned out fine, but the Collapsals got sidelined for a reason. I would have preferred if they'd been Endfield's focus. >Kally, Kot, and Amiya Yeah, these are all good answers. Blaze deserves some hugs too, considering so many of her bros have died.

>>881353 >Rewrites are probable I'd say they are all but confirmed and in very unhealthy amounts for the story at that. Act II suffers from the status quo being reset nearly every other chapter and from focus completely shifting to another subject in effectively every chapter. Victoria should've been twice as long if they actually wanted to develop any of the plotlines they set up only to be forgotten. As you pointed out Vendela's design probably was part of a scrapped Confessarii plotline that in the released story just kinda... went nowhere

>>881344 >>881345 (Trying to do this two at a time to avoid over-spamming the thread) >race-specific + plastic Clothing that incorporates racial traits is really, really cool. I love all the ways tails get included, and I'd love to see more horns w/ hats. Plastic...I'm not a fan of, although I understand the appeal. I think plastic is overused in general, not just in AK but in real life. One of my goals w/ my own project is to emphasize other materials to try and freshen the look up, especially when it comes to tactical wear. >Cool, elegant, and not too generic Yep, no arguments here. Penance is a wonderful blend of practicality and creative freedom. All of her 'unique' pieces are optional, so she doesn't always have to wear them. >Tacticool See above, I'm always down for more tacticool. The hard part is making it more distinct, but if Nori can do it, then it's definitely possible. >Yanese style I don't mind Chinese dresses in a vacuum, they have their own target audience. Still, it's better when they get creative, even if that makes them harder to draw. If artists like it, they'll draw it either way. >Act II being a clusterfuck Preaching to the choir, here. I strongly get the sense that Victoria would have been infinitely better if Siege's arc had been finished first, THEN the Sarkaz invasion began. You could still save certain confrontations for later (e.g. Eblana vs. Nezzsalem), but there was no need to throw Siege through the grinder at what was quite literally the worst possible time. This isn't even mentioning Shining's arc, Ascalon getting shafted by the plot, and Neo-Reunion getting the side treatment. Why Neo-Reunion even needed to be involved is beyond me. >Asky hugs Hugs, kisses, pillow talk. She needs all the therapy and vacations in the world.

>>881189 >We talk a lot about wives, fucks, and kills, but which Operator needs a hug the most? Absynthe and Vendela would surely need one after all they have been through. Quartz, Snowsant, Robin and Heavyrain will get get one as cheer-up.

>>881345 >By the way, would you like for the infection monitors (the black bracelets with the blue cross) to appear on more operators? I wanted to separate this one out because I think this is moreso a question for everyone. What do y'all think? My opinion: Infection bracelets have always been correlated with playability, but they're at their best when their designs are unique. Personally, I think every Operator should have a bracelet, but the type of bracelet should speak to their character. It can be a belt at their waist, a tiny necklace, two on their horns and so on so forth. Originium is supposed to be a core focus, so the bracelets (and their versatility) should be as well.

>>881237 It's a shame Nori's original idea for Rhine was never realized. The Renaissance theme would have been really cool as skins. >>881344 >plastic I fucking love the outfits that have plastic or transparent sections. Silence 1's skin was one of the first I bought because of it. Reminds me of the futuristic techwear in Deus Ex.

>>881443 A lot of ops need hugs, huh...guess that makes sense. >>881423 The existence of - Reed's event - Eblana's event - Siege's event - Entelechia's story collection - The start of Chapter 15 Are all the proof you need to show how Victoria was a total mess. Took them forever to sort it out, and even then we're STILL missing arcs because Nezzsalem's fate was left ambiguous, and Shining didn't get the finality she deserved. (Technically you can add Babel to this list as well, but at least Babel was properly foreshadowed in advance thanks to Darknights Memoir and Vigilo)

>>881189 >designs I like when an op has a really strong and distinct color palette. I'd say most Chuzenji ops fit this bill, but Shu is an outstanding example drawn by someone else >scopecreep I think everything else is fine. Act 2 just kinda suffered from the same shit star wars did where there just wasn't a strong plan it seems >hug I NEED to bury myself in Enya's fluff. All other hugs are secondary

>>881467 >Siege's event God that event and Siege in Act II as a whole shafted her character so bad. I wasn't even her biggest fan or anything but it's hilarious how she went from "We must secure the future for our people and fix the corruption within the system" even if she was a largely indecisive doomposter to being the Duke's little bitch and saying that ethnic purges of Sarkaz from Victoria are cool actually. Felt like complete character assassination to me

>>881259 >the now departed Cenm0 What happened? Did he get fired for the traced monhun texture?

>>881344 Addendum the real military inspired uniforms are really cool. >>881353 >I'll always be grateful that we got CE, Even if I think it's dumb that Theresa died twice. CE takes me out of the story with a feeling of being a consolation prize and token of weakness Amiya really didn't need (the little bunny girl has to work hard to look strong already), along with vaguely standing against all the talk of sarkaz death and their need to free their souls with only a "it's not actually Theresa :^)" standing in the way. I think Theresa dying again is really important, not just for the in-story reasons, but because it validates so much of the story that came before it. The cost of lives at babel, Kal and W's frustrations, the idea that the older sarkaz bore their judgment at Londinium. Arknights is obsessed with complicity throughout the entire narrative structure, so I think it's very meaningful that Theresa got to close out everything she was complicit in some way or another. Keeping her around also would be a headache of sorting her involvement in kazdel, possibly keeping RI chained there with her part of the crown, functionally replacing Amiya or Doctor if she stayed, or most comically fading into the background except for fanservice cameo. >>881345 Infection monitors are neat but a victim of HGs lax artistic direction; between marking obviously playable characters that haven't even met RI, confusing people on who is infected without reading files, some artists making them do weird things to look cool like Surtr's purple one. Super cool but under actualized like Oripathy lesions themselves.

>>881515 Yep. He left "willingly" according to his own post but he was probably told to leave by HG

>>881485 Fuck the dukes and all they represent. Annoying ass wastes of breath. >>881475 Cohesion and creativity inform some of the best designs. One that's start to feel out there, but have enough reigning them in that they feel stylish, unique, and real. Shu is a great example. >Enya fluff Speaking of which, where is that one big Ensia simp? I remember they lurked on 4Kaz. >>881515 Yes. He photobashed, took responsibility, and left (probably so he wouldn't get fired). Now all of his children are up for adoption.

>>881515 After packing up my personal belongings from my workstation and packing my digital screen, I would like to formally apologize and bid farewell to everyone. I fully accept all disciplinary actions imposed by the project team. One must take responsibility for one’s actions, but unfortunately, this regret cannot be conveyed to the irresponsible version of myself from the past. Ascalon is a charismatic character whose beauty is the result of the collective efforts of many people and deserves to be appreciated by many. As a co-creator of this beauty, I should have done my utmost to uphold her image, but in the end, it was I who added a flaw to her. As a fan of both Ark and Monster Hunter, to be honest, my mind is still in a state of shock, and I cannot understand why I took the easy way out, causing harm to fans of both sides. I apologize for the delay in this public apology. I have revised it repeatedly, unsure how to fully convey my regret. I don’t know how to face the two things I love so much. I can only thank all the critical voices that have helped me reflect more clearly. I wish to publicly announce my punishment decision alongside this apology, making it more meaningful. I hope I can still make amends for the Ark community. I truly hope I can make amends for Ascalon. I was wrong. I’m sorry. —Cenm0

>>881465 He actually wanted Rhine to be knights? I thought these two illustrations were just him being silly. Like picrel, dude loves to get silly. Well, in a way he did get his high tech plastic knights with the Pinus Sylvestris crew.

>>881523 >Speaking of which, where is that one big Ensia simp? I remember they lurked on 4Kaz. I think he is gone for good probably left when 4kazdel went down. I've not seen him post here or on 4kazdel in recent memory. Though admittedly I visit that place once in a blue moon so I may have missed him

>>881546 he was posting here before

>>881465 >Those Rhine outfits Now I want sets of skin for different operators with a common theme. Skins that would emphatizie their belonging to a same group or organization, like the reserve operators or the 2*/3* teams of Rhode Island. On the other hand, skins for the specific operator are better to show its personality... it's a hard choice. >>881448 That's a brilliant idea! It would have fun finding the bracelets on the operators, and understanding why it fits the character.

>>881521 >Theresa and complicity Fair enough. She and FrostNova got a sense of closure that not everyone is so lucky to have, and that allows their stories to rest. When you look at it like that, CE is cheap, like they couldn't decide on what to do. You could interpret it as Theresa's will influencing the crown to be complicit itself, but that's obviously a stretch. And yeah, keeping her around would be difficult. >Super cool but under actualized like Oripathy lesions themselves. This raises a good point. We've gotten less attention towards Oripathy over the years, which is sad because it can be really cool. It's tragic, but in a meaningful way; it reminds us what we're pushing towards. Without it, you start to forget Originium's threat, even with the arrival of Chapter 15. >>881542 Flametail ended up working out, but Fartooth...aesthetically, Fartooth is a worse Shu. Her colors don't pop as well, her gimmicks feel more dull, and she lacks a flavor of personality / cohesion that the other girls manage to have. Notice how she's the only one who doesn't share the red, white, and blue. Then there's her skin, which is trippy as all hell.

>>881568 Take a look at Fartooth's E0 vs E2, for instance. Notice how the green in her eyes is downplayed until her E2, how the darker cape serves for a better contrast. There's an emphasis on green and purple in the latter that isn't fully embodied in her outfit, and since the whole image is darker, it doesn't feel as blindingly gray. It makes me believe how, with minor modifications, Fartooth's design could be greatly improved. Contrast and color are her main issues, and she could probably use a new headpiece as well.

>>881588 i like her talon boots

>>881521 I hate operator CE because it turns this major precursor artifact that's extemely important to the early story of the game into bootleg Theresa. Nobody even thinks of the crown when they hear the name Civilight Eternal anymore, the pink devil has completely stolen the name and the lore.

>>881588 Hey, don't forget the other two. I think they evoke the knightly theme perfectly well. Ashlock's armor is properly bulky in her E0, like she's meant to stand in formation like a Shieldguard. Iwona also evokes the image of the jouster well, what with the bright, colourful tabard and oversized pauldron. Part of me wishes her S2 would evoke jousting better, like by having her chibi visibly charge for 3 tiles instead of just doing a strong thrust. It would also be cool if she had some wings, because everyone loves the husaria. Also 8chan is doing the funny thing where it won't allow me to send copypasted images again, so have just an Iwona.

>>879894 I never noticed the avatar is actually Dublinn's emblem.

>>881568 >We've gotten less attention towards Oripathy over the years On operators more than anything. Though originium and the infected are still aggressively integrated into the story Lutonada and Tecno are the only ops in the last year to have it visible aside from Phantom having it through alt carry over (which lapp missed). >>881438 >Ascalon getting shafted by the plot Not just her, but Theresis and Theresa suffer from a neckbreaking lack of focus until shortly before their death with Theresis almost becoming one with the skip force entirely for how little he gets to do but spout vagueness till he dies.

>>881189 All I want to see is meaningful endgame content added so I can have fun with the game again. It doesn't have to reward anything, maybe the new CC-like stages that will happen in CN is what I am looking for but currently it is missing. I don't really want to play IS that much because I am not a big fan of the expansions and the way CC is .. is dumb. Like for real, it isn't interesting at all because the current one we have is so limiting. The "dailies" are far more interesting in that they can be solved by 1-2 characters and it is find trying to find them so maybe HG needs to focus on similar content.

>>881542 >I thought these two illustrations were just him being silly Actually you're right. I assumed it was concept art because he released it in year 1 but then there's picrel which he released during the beta. The Renaissance-themed pieces are just a cool idea he plays around with then.

>【Achievement Star Collection - To Evoke the Anima - Sesa】 >Sesa loves games, especially sandbox survival ones with plenty of computer-wrecking bugs. Still, with the 'Garb of the Soulseer', he can overcome any issue, somehow. I'd play an Arknights survival game. ARKnights: Survival Evolved, if you will. Also thank God they got rid of his stupid hood.

>>881661 Theresis lived and died farming aura. He kept on saying vague somewhat profound but ultimately meaningless bullshit and then won the arc because he ugh... had a plan (an offscreen plan) and said plan culminated in him deciding that he could in fact solo God and make the omnomnom have absolutely no downsides if he just won. Which he did. Total Sarkaz victory glory be to the Regent

>>881448 reminds me, it was always funny when we got harmonie's npc sprite and they left an infection monitor on her, yet there were people who thought she wasn't going to become playable.

>>881763 I think they do it out of laziness, or maybe it's intentional foreshadowing. We knew Tila was going to be playable because she had a monitor too. They didn't even bother dropping her on a BSW event, just threw her into Yu's event banner and called it a day. Same thing for Demetri. The monitor is right there and people thought he'd be added on the second Siracusa event. That came and went with no sight of the guy, now it's a question of which random ass banner they'll put him in and when.

And speaking of "will [character] be added or not", I really hope the schizos saying Nasti will definitely be the 6* Skyranger are right. They already had a miss with the flying Exu theory so I'm not counting on it.

>>881810 All I'm saying is, if they want me to pull on 6.5, they'll make Nasti the limited and a 6* Skyranger. >>881752 This skin does him 100x more justice than his kit ever will.

>>881810 The Skyranger is most likely Closure.

>>881752 >especially sandbox survival ones with plenty of computer-wrecking bugs Does he relate to games having early access bugs like his own guns?

>>881840 Closure always had Artificer written all over her, in my opinion. The class ain't exactly lacking in representation, but then again neither is Summoner and they still made Raidian one.

>>881857 Her new chapter 15 outfit is very Skyranger-y.

>>881840 I'm thinking blemishine

>>882010 Blemi on a pogostick with a comically large sword.

>>882017 Leizi s1, but in reverse

>>881641 Most people just called it the black crown already Ed won

Today was a good day of progress. Now if only I can keep this up on workdays... >>881840 Closure is almost definitely an artificer, it fits her better than anything else. You could stretch her into mech accord or merchant, but engineering is her crème de la crème. While I'm here, and since AK is pretty tactical-coded: does anyone have any anime recommendations for anything similar? GF1's adaptation is infamous, but I'm looking for some serious stuff which isn't too high school themed. I watched a bunch of Psycho-Pass, but it got repetitive after a while. Not sure the third season is worth it, I'd rather watch more GitS.

Oh, I didn't realize that 4-10 would be the first FN fight. I wonder if the Exu cheese still works for CN here.

Well, I came unprepared. But I don't want to bust out the 6* squad yet.

Oh neat, I got a medal for that.

>>882374 Nice Pinus.

>>882391 Luv 'em, simple as.

>>882180 >since AK is pretty tactical-coded: does anyone have any anime recommendations for anything similar? If you haven't seen them, I'd recommend checking out Jormungandr and Black Lagoon.

>>882180 >Psycho-Pass Everything after season 1 is not worth watching.

>>882425 Learned that the hard way with Season 2. What a crummy rehash of the first. >>882407 Black Lagoon I need to get around to, Jormungandr I hadn't heard of until now. Premise looks pretty decent, I'll give it a closer look. A lot of the feel AK gives off seems to edge towards cyberpunk, at least when it isn't being fantasy lite. I have Edgerunners on my PTW too, so maybe I should buckle down and come through them. There's Jin-Roh, too. Guess I've got my work cut out for me.

Edgelords.... >>882515 >I have Edgerunners on my PTW too, so maybe I should buckle down and come through them Very techy with neat action pieces but imo it's not very tacticool.

>>882515 psychopass season 1 is pretty solid but it's more crime drama than tacticool stuff

>>882180 >>882846 oh i missed this, ignore me. s2 wasn't written by urobuchi, and they really pulled back on the gore and stuff to boot. i think s3 was urobuchi but i don't remember and i don't think s2 left a good enough impression for me to care

Just enough certs to buy either Waai fu or Hibiscus. Waai fu looks like she has great emergency silence or weakening abilities. Hibiscus looks like she beats Vendela over with her arts fragility talent alone.

>>882894 Waai Fu's silence can be handy in certain stages but it's not something you'll deploy very much. Hibi alt is much more useful for general play. She kind of feels like a pseudo-caster with her arts fragility debuff and quick cycle on her S2. Her S2 continues to deal damage even after they leave her attack range too. Wouldn't be a bad thing to have two Incantation medics anyways.

>>882894 i don't use either much but waai is a handy pocket pick either to FRD nerf an enemy's attack or tell some spiders they will not today. you don't need either of those terribly often, however

Eblana event announcement.

>>882984 LETS GO

>>882326 That early in the game it would be even easier than ever before due to the nyodule. Year 1-2 stages aren't designed around fully maxed ops (or debuffers/buffers) like more recent stuff.

>>882894 I should also mention that you can get Waai Fu from recruitment with Fast-Redeploy + Debuff while Hibi is still gacha only. >>882984 Finally I can roll
