Half anni will be more hype, I believe
cautus sex
STRIKE, KILL, BEHEADICBM CAN DO IT ALL
If I can only pull for Kal2 or MH collab which should I pick
Zumama
>>584720894You can spark Kal again in a year, MH will be maybe 3 or never
can we talk about how sexy this gopnik bear is
>>584720894Kal2, her kit is more unique than Orchid2's who's just another sniper powercreep
This is the Reed they don't want you to know about.
*reeds*
>>584720894kal2 monhuns both have strong FRD options but we’re kind of moving away from that model
>>584720986Looks too much like my cousin so I would prefer not to.
>>584721079does your cousin dress like that? does she carry an open liquor bottle around? can I meet her?
Haven't been here in a while but do we have any thoughts about Endfiield being the future of the franchise of a whole? They're already trying very hard to tie both games together and porting over fan favorite characters such as Ceobe, Warfarin, M3 and many others like Eyja or Surtr too.I think the game seems rough right now but I hope it works out and they can polish it into something great because I love Arknights.
>>584720894Whoever you like more, both of them are very good operators
Fat fuck Reed is fat.
>>584720894MH imo. Kal will rerun in a year and will be sparkable every 6 months then on. MH who knows if it'll be rerun. Both yato and orchid are just as meta as kal in IS
omg amiya.io update today!!! did everyone do their daily wordle??
>>584721249I would play Mario Kart with a mercenary group desu

>>584721179I dropped the game and deleted my account after 1.5 because it was too humiliating to keep playing and too far gone to possibly be salvaged.
>>584721458I'd accidentally gut "punch" her
My soulmate...
>>584721159Pretty much. More of a jeans kinda girl what I have seen, but otherwise yes. Once in a family party she carried unopened champagne bottle like that and pretended to drink it, but drank it from a glass later.No.
>>584720986That's like 40% of the population and a makeup tutorial
Thumpy will become an adult in two months
>>584721179They totally failed to understand the appeal of factory/automation.They took everything that made Satisfactory middling. And doubled-down on those concept to end up with a straight-up terrible experience.It's irredeemable.
>>584721416I could actually see this
>>584721731>attention whoring harlot but too cowardly to graduate from jeansgrim
>>584721798If you see Shanbi, she's grown upIf you do not see Shanbi, she's still 17
>>584721179It still feels like they're walking a tightrope of it being a sequel or spinoff. The clones don't really tie anything together since they're not the original character. I know there is Warf and there's a good chance they'll fuck her up.
>>584721704Anon you WILL die
You ever think about how originium turns everything into fucking apes isn't that kinda weird we got a rock that turns snakes into monkeys what a world we live in bro
>>584721731actually after your explanation I'm not interested anymore, I only like real alcoholics>>584721768no earthly way 40% of women where I live have that figure
>>584721934That "no" cut you that deep, huh?
New alchemaniac postcards dropped.
>>584722015
>>584720894How many of the sparkable characters on the current banner do you have, and of those how many do you want?If you have most of the CN anniversary operators then you can just spark kal next year and not feel like you are giving anything up.If you don't, skipping kal is just gonna swell the backlog harder.Even though MH is "true" limited at some point if there are enough CN anniversary characters you don't own the game will EOS before you get all of them so there won't be a difference in how limited the characters are in practice.
>>584722124I'll make a husband out of her just you see
Very cute dog and the flower oni
Ah, I love the daughtermom bitSurely nothing terrible will happen to antosha
>>584722015Don't notice things.
>>584721179I'm still holding out for more Arknights related lore to drop. Reconveners are just really weird that they have memories of the past but are just different people which is just retarded
>>584722167I'm probably going to his booth later, expecting his skadi stuff to be sold out though
>>584722219She did wear a suit in a graduation ball. Her dance partner was a girl, since there was more boys than girls so she would have probably put you in the gown. She is married these days.>>584722109Truly a man who knows what he likes.

>>584722397>I'm still holding out for more Arknights related lore to drop.And do what?
>>584722878It's a thank-you gift for supporting alchemania for fair value trading. Shipping has gotten a lot more aids because the west can't stop being goylems for one day
>>584722996Me too!
>>584721179I'm still playing and enjoying the game most days but the story is killing me, every goddamn patch it's like here's you piloting the endministrator through some wildly trivial task only to receive a fucking standing ovation from everyone who was in the general vicinity of the accomplishment and a pair of tribute panties from whoever the banner operator is. It's just embarrassing for everyone involved right now.
Will unspent factory scrip currency for the event get converted into certificates at the end of the event, or is this "use it or lose it"?
>>584722996same
>>584722996Many say this
>>584723079and bounce into the trash
>>584723184It will turn into LMD
>>584722945Yes, but I don't quite understand if Toni's dad made him like that or he is just not from Bolivar since he doesn't seem to know a whole lot.
>>584722996RAPIST?!Assemble.
>>584722427Why is Skadi like this? Why did they turn a mentally disabled woman into a supersoldier?
>>584722721CUTE!
>>584721179Is warf really even a "fan favorite"? For what it's worth she has a decent amount of fans especially for a 5 star but popularity wise I doubt she's even top 20.
>>584722960It's a fucking adorable Grani outfit too. I might hold out until EoS hoping she gets another skin or an alt, but I won't ever stop hoping.
I dont have collab yatohow many pulls do I need saved? 360?
>>584723386I think its more she is technically part of the RI inner circle?
>>584723295Oh. Huh. I'm guessing at the same conversion rate as if you had blown it all in the event shop to buy LMD?
>>584722996>>584723134>>584723203>>584723230>>584723331can you guys hold off on being brown for just a few more hours, im not sleepy yet
>>584723386I think they're saving the truly popular operator-reconveners for awhile. Everyone they've reconvened so far is at most "fairly" popular I feel.
>>584723494120
Who are we raping tonights bros?
>>584723315Apparently Ho'ol and Gracebearer might be aliens.
>>584723184It automatically gets spent on the infinite shop LMD. You want to buy everything you can beforehand
>>584721179>thoughts about Endfiield being the future of the franchise of a whole?My theory is they tested the waters on if they COULD do that. Endfield's launch and 1.0 was designed very particularly so that they could either push Endfield as their main game and as if it were a sequel to Arknights, or so that they could sideline Endfield as a spinoff and keep it its own distinct entity, just merely existing in the same universe. Which of these they would do would depend on how successful Endfield's release was and how reception to Endfield was from the main playerbase. Endfield only contained loose references to Arknights at best at launch, and all of its plotpoints where distinct but open-ended. So, I think it was all intentionally designed this way so that they could take things in the direction that was best, rather than blindly committing to Endfield at the beginning. >They're already trying very hard to tie both games together and porting over fan favorite characters eh... atm I'd say they've tested the waters and believe Endfield would be a niche spinoff on its own, and that it will need further connection to Arknights for it to be more successful. Of course they've had the "Rhodes Island and Warfarin" plotpoint in the bank since Endfield's launch, but they feel now is the best time to use it, and I would agree. As to whether they'll develop Endfield into being more of a sequel or keep it on its current track of being a spinoff... I think it will remain a spinoff, though the references and connections will increase to keep it a very Arknights game (since honestly that is Endfield's biggest draw), but I don't think they'll ever cross that point into it being a sequel, because the games are too different fundamentally and not only would there be large backlash, but I simply don't think most players would jump ship. The most we may see is they decide Endmin is a Doctor clone. More reconveners are on the way though... you can expect a few a year.
>>584723494First run collabs always come with a 120 guarantee and 20 free rolls on first run, but rerun collabs do not have those free rolls and you'll need 120 raw ones to guarantee.
>>584723138My sympathies nyigga. The writing really is abysmal for it. I was a little relieved when I hated the gameplay because the writing being the only weak point would be such a strange departure from what they've already established here.
>>584723590Surtr Ajimu are both probably top 15 right?
>>584723494Collab banner pity is 120. Monhun1 rerun doesn't have any free rolls so you need the full 120Monhun2 has 20 free rolls so you only need to bring 100. Persona3 will have 30 free rolls unless the extra 10 free rolls get yotranny'd and you need 100 instead
>>584723460Based. I hope Grani will get a skin and an alt, because why shouldn't she have it all?
>>584723626Awesome, thanks! I'm already mostly done with clearing out the shop, and was wondering whether it was worth having a stockpile of spare currency to leave to get converted, but it sounds like the answer is 'eh, not really'
I'm the draco that is approaching
>>584721179>do we have any thoughts>>584723590Id rather they just make their own characters instead of continuing to make clones of the OG'sReconveners should be a rare thing and not relied on too much imo
>>584723785ok 310 pulls, thank you (I don't have 310 pulls)
>>584723605All Ancients and Elder races are aliens dumped on Terra by Doc.
>>584723973You don't need any if you're lucky enough.
>>584723138Thats disappointing, because one of the things that I like about Arknights of what I've played so far is that the doctor is *important* but characters and entire storylines exist without depending on him. As opposed to something like Granblue, where everything and everyone sucks the MC's dick because you're literally the chosen one.
>>584723603
>>584723801It's exactly the same as buying the garbage rate infinite LMD. You want to put all your heart and prayer after getting the rest of the shop sans furniture/module parts if you don't need them into getting the material boxes as they give more sanity samplers to get more material boxes with sanity samplers so you can get more material boxes with sanity samplers so...>>584723973High chance you'll only need roughly half on average. There's 310 rolls worth of currency in main story and events
>>584723590it doesn’t really matter how popular they are if they’re going to stick to the same model of “here’s your thirty minute song and dance routine where you talk about how much you want to suck the self insert’s dick, now get out of my sight forever”. might as well upload the models directly to iwara
>>584722342Well, besides his friend dying, he's fine
>>584724096Mugen went Azul first
>>584721179>They're already trying very hard to tie both games togetherThey are either failing at that or not really trying because you can't make any knots
>>584723732I really like the combat and I really like all of the game's aesthetics but it's dark right now on the writing which is 99% of the reason I care about the franchise enough to even play a sequel. I'm just kinda hoping that because the game is such a departure in narrative presentation from the (very wordy) VN that is arknights that the problem isn't that they haven't got very good writers, but they're still not close to adapted to their medium.My fear is that that's not the issue at all and they're just writing to a lowest common denominator - maybe unsuccessfully - and they're just never going to try to do better.Unfortunately I'm pot committed. Even if they do a butcher job, if my wife is ever in the game I'm max potting day 1.>>584724096>of what I've played so farIf that's what you like and you're a new player you are really going to enjoy this game.
>>584724096Eh i think thats more just a matter of what the story is aboutArknights isnt a story about the doctor, the doctor is just our player character and ONE of the many protagonistsEndfield right now is very much a story about the endmin as of right now
>>584724386With the next area they are visiting being the Talos-2 rhodes island landship they are probably gonna come to a decision on how tied to us their game is gonna be exactly soon.
>>584723864We'll see about that.
>>584724435not really. the majority of the main plot has been about a regional crisis in the two major areas of the game, and most of it would've been very well served by with much, much less endmin screen time. the most important character in valley 4 was probably fucking yvonne
i don't give a fuck about other game
>>584717036CUBE OF ABSURDISM
>>584723732Stop eating shit, anon.
The most retarded take is >they're starting to tie Arknights with Endfield as a desperate emergency measure because they failed at making EF stand up for itself o algoas if all of this shit wasn't planned years ahead. We knew Rhodes Island was in Talos-II and Warfarin was its leader since the technical test.
>>584722397>I'm still holding out for more Arknights related lore to drop. Reconveners are just really weird that they have memories of the past but are just different people which is just retardedThat's just an extremely cheap way to make a character.The characters from AK have their own stories and some character development here and there.Reconveners don't do enough of their own "independent" shit to justify their own existence, they aren't fucking different despite the gaslighting efforts in order to convince you that they are "different people" now.No they fucking aren't. It's just AK operator that does pretty much the same fucking thing he used to do in AK.Usually I'd like to see some of my favorite operators but in 3d and play with them in a party, why not. But it feels like the ONLY FUCKING REASON for them to be in Endflop is to bait AK players, nothing else. There's no substance, no story, no character development that would be UNIQUE for reconveners - hell fucking no.It was obvious that AK characters would appear in Endfield but the way they did it with reconveners feels cheap and like HG tries to fool you by telling that "uh oh, they are different now, they are not the same they were in AK!".Bitch, they are absolutely the same and do the same fucking shit. Why even lie about it if you can't show that they are different?
>>584724773jesus it's been so wrong since I saw this comic I don't even remember what it's called~2000s gaming webcomics...those were the days, huh?
>>584721179>Haven't been here in a while but do we have any thoughts about Endfiield being the future of the franchise of a whole?Allow me to translate>I'm a tourist, please let me derail your thread to talk about endfield, your game is old and dying it has no futureWow I can't believe he said that.
>>584724945Old woman sex
>>584724435I actually like when the plot focuses on endmin, I think their scenes with ardashir were the few times in the story I've felt genuinely interested and locked in.The game is at its worst when its endmin +1 or 2 npcs and it's focused on the npc's sob story. Tangtang's part of the story is probably the worst offender.
>>584724041The two new IS bosses are not from Terra. Or at least Paryaqaqa and Aphrissa don't know anything about them from Terran history. It is a kingdom that never existed.
>>584722167>>584722721So cute
>>584724945This post is very bald and piglike
>>584724096>the doctor is *important* but characters and entire storylines exist without depending on himHe doesn't even feature in some of the best storylines, and the story feels like it's more about the setting than specifically about certain characters or events. >>584724404I wouldn't put any money on it being one way or the other honestly. They've done enough awful experiments in Arknights that it's a little naive to have any faith in them.
>>584724926It's extra retarded because it just doesn't work
>>584725003sorry, I'm taken
>>584724773Holy based
>>584724743Each regional crisis handled was a crisis caused by former allies tied to the endmins past, or former creations of the endminBoth crisis wrapping back around to questions of the endmins background.So no it is still very much a story about the endmin, these are not random situations that are stumbled on like we get in arknights sometimes.
>>584725051They aren't quetzalcoatl related, they're just from pre-historic myth brought to life by an ancient city fabricator from Sargon.
>>584724926>as if all of this shit wasn't planned years ahead. We knew Rhodes Island was in Talos-II and Warfarin was its leader since the technical test.We knew that but we didn't know that Endfield would be such a dogshit Disneysloppa with god awful MC and shittiest tier possible main story.And chinkshit Wuling for the ENTIRE FUCKING YEAR.Yeah, almost like everything that was original content in Endfield pales in comparison with Arknights. And Arknights content and its characters generate enormous amount of interest. Unlike Endfloppa OC that nobody gives a shit about. It's not surprising that people want to see Arknights 3d, like, you know, actual Arknights. Not the bootleg we got in Endshit.
Okay, I know I'm a retard for having to ask this... but where ARE the H-17 stages? I've done enough simulations to unlock them, and I can see that I get rewards for beating them, but I can't seem to find them in the event. I was expecting them to show up as another branch with the story missions, or perhaps a button on the event page, but I don't think I'm looking in the right place.
>>584724947It's funny how often they do the whole>new/returnfag here, [other game]. discoos.bit. It's an insta [-] atp
I never liked skadi or grani and it pleases me that alchemanic only got one irrelevant omnibus character after that. Dude is a certified one-hit-wonder just like Eyja's artist.
>>584725295Believe they unlock next week
>>584725295Appear in a week
>>584725092>They've done enough awful experiments in ArknightsHave they? I like the vast majority of arknights' writing.>>584725050That's because ardashir actually had something believable to do with the endmin and a relationship at least marginally more complicated than something like infatuation. The worst parts of the story are not the NPC tragedy events (those do suck, although they don't have to; see Rubio in Pasta 1) they're the contractually required MC fellatio every fucking patch.
Arknights is very dark.

These random, minimally significant side NPCs fog-of-war killing a man in what they think is self defense because he lives in the gang controlled territory they're being held prisoner in is a more interesting plot point than anything endfield has done in 9 months.That's the last I'll say about that though I'm enjoying misery in mother russia right now.
