Margaret LOVE!

>>994270 uuuuuuuuuuuh E!

>>993984 Well, in these photos they are inside houses, or on leashes, so I suppose someone tried to domesticate them. However, since they are used to wild and open fields, trying to keep them inside a tiny house and expect them to behave would only make them suffer. Or piss them off. Also, Quercus is beatiful!

>>994217 I wonder if they'll ever be on speaking terms again. I thought Elegies would at least give us a hint of Bagpipe but it was a purely Tara event for the most part.

>>994392 I imagine Reed's not going back to RI anytime soon and the tara plotline seems mostly wrapped up

>talking about worst 6* >Fartooth inevitably takes the piss Truly abysmal design. Infinite range doesn't matter with fixed angles, no pierce, and a counterintuitive trait.

>>994414 Holy lappsex

>>994414 oh dear

>>994416 I don't think she is inherently bad, it's just that the situations where her kit would shine rarely happen. By the way the stages are desinged, infinite range on a line is rarely used, especially when Goldenglow and Lappalter have global range on demand. Her skill 2 could be used for support, in theory, but it's better to kill enemy fast than trying to block them far from the sniper operators. She is not the only operator with kits designed for situations that never happen: Carnelian, Hellagur, Pallas, Lessing, Virgil...

>>994464 If only I could............ . .............. ....

>>994472 cooka da pizza

>>994414 The Pope wouldn't post such thing on his public account. >>994416 I mean, there isn't much counterintuitive to it. Tooth doesn't take damage, Tooth deals big damage, the idea is to shove her as far back behind your other units as possible (Also because of the damage per distance bonus). The problem isn't really with her stats, it's the narrow S3 pattern that only lets here go on Ifrit tiles... where most players would rather place Ifrit instead because she attacks multiple enemies at once.

>>994475 I cooka da pizza earlier today. Even had prosciutto on da pizza

>>994464 sexland...

>>994481 Il anone basado. Usually Fridays are pizza days for me, but today I felt lazy and just made a burger instead.

>>994907 hell yeah

Is the (sortof) new story interface a good indicator of reading order? I've been playing for quite a while but procrastinated on the main story in favor of story events, but now I'm finally working my way to catching up with the main story and rereading what I have read. Currently on chapter 8, but I did do Darknights Memoir before proceeding into chapter 7, and it seems like those happened in parallel to each other, going off of Scout's relevance in both. Should I alternate back and forth between For Tomorrow and The Ark, or does it not matter much until chapter 13? There's 4 ahead of me in both lines to alternating seems reasonable. I'd figure the side stories and stuff would split off from one of the other sooner than that though, hence my uncertainty.

>>994990 honestly, going by chapter/event release order is probably the best way to read through the entire story. there are some sidestories like lone trail that have some extremely main plot relevant stuff in them

Ray spook

>>994890 It's nice being able to follow conversations without having to be glued to them. >>994907 Lucky. >>995043 bunny!

>>994907 canon and IC

>>994907 Nobody knows what dark and unholy thoughts fill the Draco's mind...

>>994890 There are some big reasons behind it being glacial, even here. I played for quite a bit but stopped about a week ago. 1. It's extremely, extremely repetative 2. While you can kinda shorten the dailies you still have to do one win at least, but if all you do is one run per day you will never see any competitive edge there. 3. its very expensive game if you do want to be competitive and there isn't much to do besides grinding every single day, but if you do its like 20-30 minutes per single run. 4. the rng is the worst and that is with myself getting a few 9*. There is just too many layers of rng. All this adds to a rather low amount to discuss besides the monthly pvp events. I was really disappointed. It's a nice game until the newness wears off.

>>995108 >3. its very expensive game if you do want to be competitive and there isn't much to do besides grinding every single day, but if you do its like 20-30 minutes per single run. I had a feeling it would be like this since the game didn't look like it had anything but the grind to itself. Them giving away a shitload of currency on release was the most classic "'Will you walk into my parlour?' said the Spider to the Fly."

>>994990 I second going by release order but it's gonna take a long time to read through it all. The next big event is the anniversary. If you wanna be selective with your time then I'd suggest doing Guide Ahead and Hortus before it so you're at least prepared for that.

>>995121 I bought a couple packs to in support, I don't regret it, but thinking back it was kinda wasteful. I am just glad I got out with not ballooning it to even more. The point I cut off the money was about the cost of one collectors edition video game so I survived.

>>994990 The best thing about the story interface is packing side stories that relate to each other together, imo. I'm in the middle of ch12 right now and haven't read A Walk in the Dust, I know I should get to it but there's so much >>995027 I haven't touched LT because the chain of Mansfield Break>Dorothy's Vision>LT was too intimidating. Will get around to it... someday >>995127 Masses' Travels also very noticeably takes place after ch15 afaik, though idk how much it "spoils" other than spine kot being in it

>>995148 Mansfield Break is a must read because it has JesselGOD in it. The original joke tier boss before Vina's father came along

>>995148 lone trail in particular has some very important reveals for doc, priestess, and kal'tsit, so you really oughta get to it at least before ch15

>>995162 I was planning to do Mansfield before we get coop(?) salty bets so that I can go ALL IN on JesselGOD. The 彳文xow animation long sold me on him even back when I had 0 context >>995162 That I wasn't aware and it's good to know, thanks. After ch14 then

>>995108 My opinion on Uma is that I'll stick to the anime. The gameplay never appealed to me, but the girls do. The anime, therefore, gives me everything I want from it.

>>995162 >Vina's father I still don't know what's up with that boss fight, lorewise. Is it just Vina having a schizo moment in the throne room and saying "fuck the crown"?

New event PV is out. Includes a maid Kelsey L2D skin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iABjPFUGtQ

>>995288 >maidtsit skin is real did we swap timelines, are they finally giving us what we want? is gavial (regular)'s swimsuit next?

>>995288 this isn't RA3...

>>995288 Wtf it's L2D too. Is the PV for RA3 or for a new game mode? >>995216 Same. Season 3 kinda sucked though.

>>995315 Looks to be a new game mode.

>>994037 Oh to be so grossly incandescent... >>995219 Still think it was going to be the Theresis boss fight

hmmm... nyo

>>995288 That'a my cue to read Walk in the Dust before we get this on global...

I really like Vermeil.

Hour and a half left on the survey if anyone hasn't done it yet.

>>995494 I'll do it after my SSS missions

>>995494 oh fuck i didn't even know there was a survey out

>>995494 Gonna compare the timestamp after I hit post but I didn't see a survey. Maybe it's an A/B test sorta deal?

>>995685 nvm just 10 minutes late

>>995288 Neat detail. Maid Kal is serving the cake she gave us during Yu's event.

>>995719 I will take this as Kal canonically dressing up as a maid when she delivered that cake

>>995288 my guess is this is some sort of interlude narrating the process of moving and setting up the new RI after the events of CH15

>>995811 Indeed

Sexy Isa with sword and shield, if only.

>>995288 >They finally released the maid kal skin. This of all things is what made me today finally worry for the health of the game in almost 5 years. Gonna guess endfield was a money black hole and really came too late as by now the genshit clone bubble popped.

>>995840 >This of all things is what made me today finally worry for the health of the game in almost 5 years. Haha I can definitely see your point. I'm pretty pessimistic towards Endfield myself but I think even with a particularly optimistic outlook it's clear something fucky happened with that game. Being announced 3 years ago and still stuck in a cycle of closed betas is rather weird. Either it's a money sink or they want to wrap up Arknights for good before moving on to it. With how insanely rushed (in my opinion) the pacing became I would place my bets on the latter

>>995219 Vina had long ago grown disillusioned with the idea of ruling after witnessing countless acts of cruelty from prominent nobles against their subjects so instead of becoming the most prominent noble as per her birthright she opted to become the "spokeswoman" (read: janny) of said unelected nobles instead

>>995831 Our girl Ally trying to act cool!

>Wake up >Check base >Money ops in EXP factory 0 Sanity weekend start.

I was on the fence about whether I was going to spark Skalter or Arturia during Exualter's banner but this clear has shown me Arturia would be the better choice by a wide margin.

>>995288 Finally, Maid Kal. >>995840 Fair, but I doubt HG fears the bubble. They've signaled that they're content to take as long as they need to get Endfield how they want it, and given the state of the last beta, 2026 was the right call.

>>996102 I have Skalter perpetually on support, but I have to say she's sadly fallen off a bit. I'm experimenting with S3M3 because we have so much self-sustaining ops and easy healing nowadays. The true damage and byuffs are nice, but if you can get them online chances are you don't really need either.

Anyone want to be friends if we're not already? I've got 8 slots left.

>>996099 >>996156 Allerdale, Dagda alt, Cador, even the unicorn, I want them all.

>>996771 KFC sexo

>>995880 >they want to wrap up Arknights for good before moving on to it I sure hope not. I don't really have any interest in Endfield but I can see myself sticking to AK for years to come >>995831 This reminds me >Overture rerun skin went to Bobbing Hag injustice. Now Catherine has joined Papyrus in event welfare that haven't gotten their rerun skin.

>>996967 If I can get Endfield to run on NixOS* I think it'd be neat to see how both tie together across the time gap. This is one of those multi-media franchise thingies after all, as much as I've procrastinated to read the mangas. That pickled cabbage from volume 1 of Rhodes Kitchen is a banger, my mom threw away the brine after a few months because she misinterpreted the purple brine as mold tho, it was starting to cake up with depleted spice tho so it was probably time to make another batch anyway. *I've yet to encounter a game that /won't/ run on it but it's a matter of how much of a hassle it is to install and update. Zenless was a bitch to update because you had to change the steam shortcut's directory back to the Mihoyo launcher to update then back to the game itself to play without chrome shit humming gas in the background. Ended up just playing it phone only until my old phone broke. Could reinstall now that I have a phone again but eh.

>>997164 Yeah, mock Mizuki. You'll see who gets to laugh last when Ishar'mla comes. >>997169 It's not that bad, just random. Do you need a hand with the Icebreakers games?

>>997068 How lewd

>>997183 no, i just need to play football for the medal i'll do it tomorrow for sure

>>995840 >This of all things is what made me today finally worry for the health of the game in almost 5 years. I'm going to be honest and say people freaking out over maid'tsit as some sign feel insane to me. It's a massive step back from the level of fanserive (sexy lady, it has tons of storyfag service) we got from anime and maid skins already and even Kal's maid sprite from witd that's being referenced. The skin being double l2d makes me certain the ch'en pack sold poorly or Lowlight turned on favoritism mode, if it also has new voicelines its will finally be a skin worth $30.

>>997068 Jesus...

>>997193 I know that feeling, I played football for the medal too. By the way, I'm still missing some titles for the trim, so if anyone needs a partner for co-op, I am available.

>>997198 Though as an addendum, releasing a skin paying so much affection to Kal'tsit's life around the time she died on global and is potentially getting resurrected on CN makes me think the resurrection is more like to go wrong and spit out an amnesiac Kal or some other kind of coming back wrong scenario.

>>997216 sure I can aid, room id?

>>997237 Room ID: J8NGB6MLEIIC4B Need an event/map in particular?

>>997244 By rng I haven't touched this maps, already got the medals, trim and rewards in any case

>>995840 I'm surprised there's anyone here dooming at all Your game survived for so long and had so many highs it feels impossible to kill it, I know it's against the rules, but did your numbers go low or something?

>>997249 Before proceeding with the bastion maps, do you mind if we run some maps that I am missing too?

>>997286 No issues

Okay EX-14 might need a bit of planning... status resistance, elemental healing, what else?

>>997284 >Your game survived for so long and had so many highs it feels impossible to kill it Not exactly a good point where we live in an era where giants too big to die are in fact dying. HG really needs to just can endfield as a GAAS and make it a one and done game like astris. Preferably an alternate universe to AK too so it stops the plot hole lore breaking plague endfield keeps causing.

Finally 100%d the S P O R T S if anyone still needs help I'm free for whatever

>>997304 Knowing is half the battle, the other half is violence. Good match!

>>997307 Giants are dying because they fucked the economy and are running on short-term goals and lobbying instead of paying taxes and getting sustainable plans I don't think hg has any large investors that they need to keep happy with weird decisions but I really don't know how good/bad endfield is and how much longer arknights itself can keep going

>>997291 After this I have time for a bastion map. How are you?

>>997307 If arknights dies it would be because none of the higher ups want to work on it anymore and can't find a successor. I don't think that'll happen for a while with how things have been going and the old guards doing whatever recently.

>>997331 Have any gacha games ever open sourced when shutting down? Maybe the community could keep the game alive that way. Plus it would be funny to see arknights and super tux cart mentioned in the same list of open source games.

rare instance of HR prepromote voucher retard being useful

...I think I crashed

My game was freezed, from the stage to the timer, and I couldn't see any progression. I got the error message "abnormal situation detected" and the room closed. How were things on your side?

>>997358 Only private servers afaik. But I also don't think things are dire for HG, I've always felt like AK is a gacha that takes things at its pace without worrying about what everyone else is doing. They're still collaborating with various brands (including other gachas, with the Limbus collab about to launch), they're still releasing character themes with every new OP that comes out. They do a lot of extra stuff they don't need to be doing outside the scope of the game itself, nothing felt particularly cash grabby to me (unlike HSR, idk if this makes sense but I play that too and I can FEEL the need of the devs trying to sell me things constantly). Their revenue is doing fine from what we know of SensorTower too, though as it always is the case with chink gachas, it's the domestic market that has the biggest sway. imo even if Endfield ends up flopping, I don't think it's going to drastically affect AK the tower defense mobage as we know it. There's no sense gutting a product that has a loyal base and is doing fine for itself. Unless anyone got credible chink sources of AK/HG turning shaky, I think paranoia and doomerism is getting to some of you

>>997394 ...I am sorry.

I don't think my connection is stable enough for bastion matches. At least we managed to complete the standard stages.

>>997401 That was an experience if anything

>>997416 You did it on your own? You're great!

>>997397 >(unlike HSR, idk if this makes sense but I play that too and I can FEEL the need of the devs trying to sell me things constantly). I have no idea what does that mean, you would have to elaborate on that.

>>997416 Thank you for the matches, doctor. It was great fun until the freeze. I have to go now, see you around. Good night /akg/.

Actually now that I know something something Abyss is going to be a warframe clone I am willing to play it for the time being. I wonder if they will be successful and actually manage to change the gacha sphere a bit.

>>997198 $30 skins is HG getting in on the "luxury skins" trend that some gachas are doing now where they price certain skins high enough that it could only appeal to die-hard fans of that character whom they know would be willing to pay. I agree that it's not something to doom about since it's not an exorbitant amount but we should still worry a little purely from a pricing standpoint relative to other skins. >if it also has new voicelines its will finally be a skin worth $30. Some of the L2Ds we have now have new voiceline sets too and they cost 24 OP, which is equivalent to around 7 rolls and still less than $10 USD. They aren't dual-L2D but even if they were I wouldn't look at them and think it was worth $30. It can be argued that the Maid Kal skin is really only worth $20 since it comes in a pack that gives you a 10-roll but even so, that's still much higher than I'm comfortable with.

>>997503 >24 OP, which is equivalent to around 7 rolls and still less than $10 USD

>>997525 Oh that's worse. It's been a while since I've looked at the prices. Not counting the one-time bonus then 20 op is $15. Alright maybe skin prices have always sucked and $30 isn't anything new. I guess I'm just disappointed that we can't buy it with OP.

>>997307 GAAS is magnitudes more profitable one-and-done, and HG is committed to making a spinoff which can continue AK's legacy. Doing so means refining and updating it over years, something only a GAAS can do. >>997331 When isn't the government, any government, prioritizing short-term concerns over long-term ones? It's unfortunate, but there's no changing them. You're right that HG seems to be in a good position investor-wise though, no one pushing for infinite growth or profitmaxing. >>997358 I maintain there's a non-zero chance AK gets an offline mode when it finally concludes. It has a BUNCH of gameplay content, so if HG is smart they'll stick a price label to it (not for current players) and let people try it whenever they want.

>>997439 Can't speak for HSR, but my experience so far with GFL2: >Premium currency is only available via cash >Skins can be bought directly or with currency >Endless shops and packs >Battlepasses which give you much better rewards if you pay to upgrade them >Pots are heavily impactful for certain units >No Royal Tokens equivalent >No paid character selector (AFAIK) There's more slipping my mind, but you get the idea.

>>997548 Oh, duh. Skin gacha / furniture cost drama. GFL2's not P2W outside of PvP (though high pot units are important for Gunsmoke), but it shoves in your face how rosier things would be if you forked over a little cash. Compared to my previous gachas (AL, BA, and AK) it is much stingier. >>997535 Be glad you can purchase skins with OP at all, or that OP is available from stage clears. Besides, I don't think prices have changed since the game launched (so technically they're cheaper via inflation).

>>997548 The most annoying thing is how they constantly shove the daily pack in your face after you grab the free daily box

>>997439 Story tries very hard to sell you the new gacha characters every patch. The laser focus on these specific characters and their relation to (You)r self insert is sometimes done at the detriment of worldbuilding consistency and previous characters' competency. The plot, the characters' personalities, their actions, and the wrapping of the story overall often feel at odds to me. As a result, the end product experience feels like they've crammed too much into a box that's about to burst with things that don't necessarily fit well with each other without hammering down corners. The there's the endgame modes, where the changing buffs and mob weaknesses are tailor made to favor the newest gacha units. I don't even think HSR's powercreep is that bad personally, but the state of its meta does make AK powercreep allegations look like a joke in contrast. tldr AK feels like a story first and a gacha second, while hoyostuff (and many other gachas on the market, tbh) feel like gacha first with everything else tacked on after to decorate that frame. We've had similar outcries when the Dahuang theme released with the steep price tag of 30OP, but ultimately the ramping up price of optional cosmetics don't impact the foundation of the game itself. On a different note, I've always been impressed by how willing HG has been to commission third party artists from the world over. From game OST (employs diverse indie/"obscure" bands and composers) to OP theme songs to their art to official promo mats (ie wheels) to the crazy reach of the dub and etc. Many other companies do much more in-house, or at least make their outsourcing much less international and obvious. I can't think of anything else like it, it's a lot of reach and care they don't have to put in but constantly deliver on. This is the main thing that convinced me HG isn't profit obsessed.

>>997604 Sex with The Plume

>>997503 >$30 skins is HG getting in on the "luxury skins" trend that some gachas are doing now This is the third one and Americans had to pay $50-90 for the croissant and Exu kfc skins. >It can be argued that the Maid Kal skin is really only worth $20 I'm more arguing that it's just making the anime paid skin pack much less of a rip-off than the Exu and Ch'en ones

>>997604 >Story tries very hard to sell you the new gacha characters every patch I hate this shit man, I tried playing wuwa recently and they would not fucking let up on that shit it was awful why did I waste my time reading that

>>997503 I mean this isn't the case at all. You can argue that we cannot buy only the attire but for 30 dollars we also get 10 pulls, some meme base thing that sings and two of those thingies that max out characters. It evens out.

>>997604 Yeah that's another reason I've put off reinstalling ZZZ: it's fun, it's got interesting lore, I like to browse fanart for it, but it really does feel like a saturday morning cartoon trying to sell you toys. Like that's what a gacha principally is, but Mihoyo stuff seems the most up front and blunt about it that I've seen, in the handful of gachas I've played (Team Fortress 2, Arknights, ZZZ, Reverse 1999, like maybe a week of Cookie Run, Adventure Quest Worlds 3D for like a month during the Breaking Benjamin collab, can't recall much else so I shant etc... this list)

>>997798 Oh and AirMech. Also holy shit AirMech is back.

>>997911 YOU FOOL WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

>>997926 shut up kaiba

>>997798 I'm sorry did you just call Team Fortress 2 a gacha game

>>998049 It does have gacha elements with crates and keys. Sure most are f2p and don't touch crates but the same can be said of arknights and others.

>>998070 Anonpipi, that's just a standard old world lootbox system... that's now how a gacha works...

>>998133 Lootbox and gacha are just the same thing almost but one is western and one is japanese. Both are an exchange of money for a random item/character.

>>998138 My guess if I had to make a distinction is: - lootbox = things (loot) the characters equip - gacha = the characters themselves Up until now I just had them as one category in my head tho.

>>998143 In general you're correct that they are like that. But then there's genshin impact with its character gacha and weapon gacha, I'm sure there are more that blur that line.

>>998161 Love the brute force furgonomics on the jat (jean hat) over the ear/horn/thingies.

>>998138 I will argue lootboxes are worse due to no pity systems and not giving you free rolls.

>>997798 Basically yeah. I never touched ZZZ, after GI and HSR I felt like I've had enough of hoyo in my life. Genshin was already guilty of cramming a lot of info in character profiles, but when you meet them in the story whatever personality they were supposed to have can and will be warped to fit the plotline and the need to appeal to the MC (You). I'm glad AK doesn't do that, the OP files are always fun to read and feel consistent with what you actually see of them in events. With how vast and rich AK's setting is and how not everyone needs to suck up to the Doctor, it's probably also much easier to do. I'm still playing HSR because it's not time consuming and I like the gameplay, but I have not been a fan of current version's story so maybe I'll be free before next version drops >>998143 >>998159 Gacha being the shorthand to "gachapon", capsule toy dispensers where you insert coin, twist handle, and get a capsule that contains RNG goodies, they are synonymous to lootbox more or less. Lootbox just has a more western connotation, imo
