>>587510619Someone at HG really thought it was a good event system...
Nice gay porn game, endbabs
>>587510579It doesn't matter if they flop or not. Male characters are good otherwise it becomes a gynocratic power fantasy for yuritroons.
>>587510619They should've allowed us to refresh the cards individually rather than resetting the whole hand.
>12 more days of Horsecock's dogshit banner
tonight is the night. it has to be
>>587511130>less than 2 weeks away from kaySounds good to me desu
>>587510579You can just say that Endfield is dead instead of lashing out at innocent male operators who had the misfortune of being in a failed game.
I am NOT using Laev again until they give her an all female limited team, not using Homoguard, not using Homomile either.
>>587511310argent flow debuted 40 spots lower than camille, it's not an endfield problem.
Si's fat butt!
realtalk tho: why did he flop?
>>587511416Chinese men are just that unpopular in general, Wang last time didn't even make it to top 1 in JP.
>>587510916They are going on hands on deck for the final hail mary that is 2.0
>>587511310Silverash is likeable and cool... and Pramanix is there too... And it's a limited banner...Horse guy indeed sucks but trying to compare it to an alter of a well liked character from the start of the game is just dumb.

Wuling sucks because >Immediately abandoned the industry complex themes of 1.0>Immediately abandoned the "originium is dying" plot of 1.0>Full sent wuxia magical xiranite nonsense>Full sent scrolls and cultivationNow they come crawling back with RI
>>587511585Chinese themed guy, shallow backstory, dressed like a male slut, zero relevance to the painting story.
>>587512232I see a male pattern...
>>587510619Man, FUCK that "lucky hand" task. I figured I'd bang it out a couple of days ago, when the lucky hand was trips. Easy enough to get, right? Nah, still took dozens of redraws to get, completely killing my tension - and so when I went into the fight... I actually managed to screw up. Turns out, 33% more attack is enough to get my controlled op one-shot. And since you can't just restart the trial, you need to spend another ten minutes redrawing fucking tiles again! With a different set of enemies that can one-shot you, and a different set of trash enemies to filter. Causing me to screw up... Again. Ended up storming out of the house to clear my head (and only realizing as I walked back an hour later how close I probably came to slamming the door on my cat, since the little meower usually likes to try and run out with me). I can only imagine how much more frustrating the task must be with rarer hands - what, an hour of drawing tiles before getting your ass handed to you?If you had literally ANY control over what tiles are drawn, or could restart the stage if you screw up, it'd be fine. But the combination of "dozens of redraws that make you zone out instead of getting in the zone" and "only one chance" really doesn't play nice with a high-stakes fight.Also, it's pretty strange that fighting the bull/phantom tiger/lightning frog trio is somehow more challenging than high-risk Contingency Contract? I mean, this is just supposed to be a goofy throwaway event, yeah?...
>>587511901martial arts kino > weiqiit's that shrimple
Imagine selfinserting as male Endminlet when Argent exists
>>587512020All they had to do was model shit from arknights, elite units from every nation look badass and strong, instead we get the yinlungs, even lungmen police npcs look more well equipped.
>>587512609I don't self-insert in Disneyfield, i don't have a humiliation fetish
>>587511585Minghe's event was our first side story using a side operator as our viewpoint character, turns out people don't like stories that don't let us self-insert as the Endmin.
why did x flop why did it flop whyyyyyy why did it flop
>>587512463some people wanted to see other people filtered so you should imagine that the total happiness in the world has gone up
>>587512685I self insert as the landbreaker who raped Estella canonically
>>587512020>Full sent scrolls and cultivationWorst thing is that they didn't. All this stuff is either surface level in the worst way or very rarely really fucking obscure. We didn't actually get any of the cool wuxia cultivation shit.
>>587511585from a meta standpoint nobody really needs argent flow and it's hard to see how that would ever change, and his gameplay isn't super unique or interesting either, so there's no point in trying to get the character unless you think he's hot. and, well.there have been 200+ limited rolls from permanent content so yume schizos joining the game for him can just get him for free, while there have been 200+ limited rolls from all content since camille was released so yume schizos who stuck around since last time can also just get him for free.
I give up on this CC. I just fucking can't get past 35 because of how fucking annoying these fights and risks are.
Why did NTE flop?
>>587513271No idea. Why don't you go ask /nteg/?
>>587512679They aren't well equipped cause WHERE ARE THE FUCKING GUNS MAN OUR LAST GUN USER WAS TANGTANG
>>587513271NTE won.Bigly.
>>587513774Nice Furina ripoff.
>>587513660wait wtf youre right
>>587513402WTF, I thought I did. Wrong thread!
as ever supervisor perlica is the spiritual enemy of wuxia slop, so as of 1.4 the yinglungs have endfield rifles
>>587512758You're skipping the part where his story is a very shallow "this guy is a soldier who protected his fellow soldiers! you must like him now! look at how chinese and polite he is!!! He knows the endmin from before too!!"It fucking sucks and no one has to pretend that it doesn't, back again to silverash for example, the guy changed his entire home country to the better through multiple events and you get to see how Kjerag changes with each event, with several other characters being important to that narrative, that's something endfield has yet to do once outside the main story, and even then not to the extent arknights does it. Sure you can say modelling so many characters and making everything in 3d is harder, can't disagree on that, but it doesn't excuse the writing of a new characters story being this bad when Camille was at least passable and kept something for the future. Argent was made to be forgotten, if he has any relevance after this version I'd be very surprised.
>>587514009How are we going to get rifles if the weapon type is "hand canons"
>>587514351the same way horseman is a spear user with a sword as a main weapon
>>587514351The same way we have a bow wielder, dipshit.
>>587512463The RNG is delicately cucked. I got Quads 3-4 times before it became the "Hand of the Day" and now it's stonewalling me .
How are we coping today?
>>587514476Those are both weapon types thoughbeit. Typhon would have been a better example.
>we
>wuz
the most bizarre thing about horse flop is that HG did write a likeable male wuling region character with a multi patch long character arc setting him up as a character and his name is iron boatswain and he's an NPC who we're never going to see again
>kin
>>587514696well yeah, arts units are the get out of design jail free card for this gamebut how do you incorporate something the size of a watermelon into the design of a handheld firearm without it looking retarded?
Endfield is the most pornographic gacha game on the market right now.
Pornographic imagery of Lady Si.
>>587514476>>587514505I had hopes Mi Fu was going to be a gauntlet user and they'd show they're willing to make new weapon types, but nope we'll be stuck with a million arts units in the future because one of the fun of arknights was the wacky weapons characters used.
>>587514614I'm black
>>587511039Female endmin has more fanart of her with the female characters than the male ones so it looks like that didn't work out.
>>587516112>>587515449
>>587516095I think the real proof here is that female endmin has more fanart of her with the female characters than the male endmin does...

>>587517352Why are Arknights fanartists like this.(Also, isn't K'uk'ulkan's whole THING that they can't be hags, because their ancestral memory download kills them as young adults?)

>>587519952>The nobody on Twitter agrees with me!
>>587519572HG cultists always have this need to tell others how happy they are about HG games and how other games are worse.
>>587520202Ah, that makes much more sense.
>>587519572What exactly is there to do in Endfield maps? They're just glorified corridors with chests in them.
>>587519572Xhe's not wrong. Genshin is quality over quantity. Wuwa was cool because you could parkour over everything. Then they introduced flight which felt amazing but it's levels are not designed accordingly (except for that one zone in the sky) so they nested all the treasures together in little nodes and all you need to do is fly over then and push a button and you get them all automatically. There's no friction. Absolutely sovlless design.
when
>>587521210We still have another month anon
>>5875212102 weeks. Version preview announcement should be soon
>>587521528Okay then where is it
>>587516214This is a perfect fucking tit. Holy shit.
>>587522215I know a Swedish girl with tits like this
>>587521909should be this weekend, could be earlier
I'm more excited for 2.0 teasers than more Wuling slop
Devlog announcement tomorrowDevlog is on Sunday
>>587523278last time we had a preview drop on Sunday was for 1.2 or something
>>587523704It was supposed to be this friday, but something went wrong with 1.6 preview
>>587523927>this fridayNo, that would be too soon, they usually do them like a week before the version drops and I think most other previews were on a Thursday and next Thursday will be exactly one week before 1.7
>>587524276No? Devlogs are always 12-14 days before the patch and devlog announcements are always 3 days before the devlog itself. Also they're always on the friday (with the only exception of 1.1 devlog). You can compare all devlog release dates with the patch release dates.
Didn't they announce last week that there would be a dev stream this weekend, or was I hallucinating?
>>587523927>Needed 1 more week to make Shattered Protocol PERFECT Fair enough
>>587525317NyoBut in 6 hours 20 minutes there will be an announcement
The clock is ticking ZZZfags...
>>587525486Official ZZZ EPs are unironically more Arknights than official Endfield EPs
>>587525425Huh. Hallucination it was, I guess.
>>587525810Yeah Endfield EPs are wuwalikes
Will Endfield ever top thishttps://youtu.be/yZWBorPBRss
>arguing over when a dev log will be postedBrother, this is going to be the most filler patch of all time. Not only is it pre-anniversary but the banner character is god damn Ceobe, the 6* in AK that had the least story relevance (yes even less than potential woman). Just relax and wait.
>>587526348C was the boss of an event and the MC of a roguelike season
>arguingyou niggers need to chill it's called having a conversation not everything is arguing
>>587526531Please forgive them, they never had a Renaissance
>>587526348'xcuse me, Ceobe was a VERY hungery cerebus that the Dunmashi cast had to work VERY hard to feed before it became a major disaster. What storyline was more relatable than that?
This isn't OGAK and that isn't Ceobe
>>587526531you need to look up what arguing means
>>587526486And despite that her personality is still "I'm hungry". But this guy is right >>587527236, Kay isn't Ceobe so there is a chance she will be a better character.
>>587526486The only thing memorable from the dunmeshi is her banger boss themehttps://youtu.be/NLN34UJmO9o?si=MeILhU-N55ErGoA4
>>587527706Wait a second.In their recent interview they said that they're experimenting with new player/boss interactions.What if 1.7 boss is Cerberos K that we need to feed instead of kill?..
they should make FN Reconvener and put her on a filler patch
>>587528128They will never revive FN. Chinks will kill Lowlight if they dare to do that
Sex with Okugi!
>>587528183no one will give a shit
whewthis one kind of kicked my butt, but I did it!
Will Endfield ever top this?
Ceobe's hunger moves us forward, while fear of Ceobe motivates us. Thus, Ceobe is the most important character in Arknights.
>>587526348>Brother, this is going to be the most filler patch of all time.>new map>exclusion zone rework>new AIC area>new AIC buildings and mechanics>exclusion zone reconstruction game mode>ceobe quest>EZ reconstruction quest>hard mode boss fights with reworked mechanics>new minigamesi believe in the dog patch
>>587528183Chinks won't do anything. They made villains playable. They made dead characters playable. Anything is on the table at this point, besides putting Amiya in Endfield I suppose.
>>587407379 (me)>>587487806 (also me)I heckin' did it bros, I broke the limit>all p0 team>8 seconds left
>>587528558I don't give a shit about any of those, I just want the sexy dog in my account and then all I care about is the 2.x teasers they will drop
>>587528735FN in Endfield is on the same level as Amiya in Endfield though?
>>587528740Congrats dude, are you gonna aim for max risk on week 2 too?
>>587528805Not really. They already made a Talulah-esque character in EF, Frostnova wouldn't be a stretch. Amiya is actually core to AK's story and identity so she won't get ported.
>>587528991amiya has already appeared in arknights: endfield though
Amiya was already in Endfield no one gives a shit about FN
>>587528991But Lycia is not Talulah? THey can make a random cautus ice caster, but they absolutely can't make FN reconvener
I am sure FN's 5 remaining fans will riot and kill Lowlight how scary
>>587528879You can bet your originium on it though I can see a tier 3 time reduction in there that's already gonna be impossible
>>587528740Very nice anon. What ended up being the adjustment that got you over that last hurdle?
Guess I'll post this one for week 1 and try to get a higher score on week 2
>>587529117There's no way they don't take the chance to bring frostnova back, the set up for a reconvener is already done, she died to originium after using too much arts, they have all reason to say her mind is in there to be pulled out
>>587529474Good luck then!
I'll upload week 1 clears tomorrow...Sorry...
>>587529998And that will literally make her death, her entire character arc and parts of Patriot's, Talulah and even Doctor's character arcs absolutely pointless.
>>587530101This slacking nun needs groping
>>587529998the rationale for what characters can or cannot be brought back as reconveners is pretty much written to justify her
>>587530187It's been a good few centuries I think she can have a second chance
Realize this is old shit now but what exactly is the secret to this? Gloomwald is terminally unfun to fight.>shielded at the start, have to dump skills and basic attacks to break the shield>effectively start fight with no sp>after a while he'll spawn shielded mobs that will pingpong you while spamming huge AOEs>after a little longer he goes invulnerable again and if you don't break his MORE shields he nukes the entire party>repeat this if you survived the first wave>gets EVEN MORE shields>repeat until party wipeThis and the shield gimmick one before it are just zero fun allowed and at this point I feel like I'm never going to clear it
>>587530615Just don't use SP on it before breaking the shields? It has like 4 shields.
>>587530615the secret is the 200 SP restoration mechanic
>>587530245Endfield has the best tits
>>587529576delaying combos on manglerbeast to prevent the initial corrosion from droppingI learned corrosion retains the highest shred value regardless of how it's refreshed, and 3 combo cycles with max intensity level 4 corrosion let me clear manglerbeast before he started spinning the second timethe window do it is very small but the tech is there, gave me the 30 seconds I needed to clear

Are you guys really still in not china arc? No wonder the game is dying.
>>587531243j-just one more month...we will be free in january...*cough*
>>587531243the not china arc ended six months ago. they just forgot that they should have followed it up with anything
>>587530245cute toaster
>>587531140>will we ever get another character with this consistency?if they get drawn with big ol tiddies, yes
>>587531243The latest chapter was probably the China-est of of China arcs, desu. From the spirit inn centered on Chinese food, to Chinese proverbs written in the sky, to Chinese chess, to Chinese healing, to a Wuxia hero's journey, it is one extremely violently Chinese chapter.

>1.4 finale >Filler until 2.0>All WulingJesus
>>587532551Actually I've been wondering, how will region patch allocation work from now on? They just teased like 4 new regions in the last stream.Will it be 6 months per region now? Or will they stick to the 1 year per region thing?
>>587530773>>587530798I eventually got there by switching to a team with Perlica since she has that skill that triggers on final strikeThough I still only finished because Rossi happened to hit the boss with her own skill in the middle of the knockback sequence, and he caught her in a movement frame so she lunged 40 meters across the arena and got two extra shields off before the boss even spawned the mobs while the rest of the team was 100 meters away.The shielded pairs one I will never clear because I just don't have the DPS for it. Can comfortably clear everything else in the game but that one stage.
>>587532852they said one year per environment prior to release and they haven't said anything about it since
>>587532551Uhh 1.5 was pseudo-sami actually
>>587532852We should hope it's back and forth between 2 regions but with the way the factory limitation works it should be one region per year
https://youtube.com/shorts/9TAgzOia06sThis fan made outfit looks amazing on Ardelia
>>587532852i guess they could shorten/interleave regions if they go more generic with the assets. wuling has a lot of setpiece environments and thats expensive to produce, im not surprised they wanted to stay here as long as possible. its not a simple task to just change the scenery quickly, especially not at the outset of a game's life where different each new environment represents a whole entire suite of assets that need to be built out.
>>587532551please do not forget that the chess scene in 1.6 is longer than the wuling city siege sequence in 1.2 from start to finish
>>587533249they've been working on a lot of snow themed assets and have already started producing the textures they'd need for myrkwood. they might be planning on doing alternating releases at some point.
>>587533289>wuling siegeforgot this happenedpissed me off how perlica could place ziplines in places we, the literal originium god, can't
>>587533289to be fair, 1.2 was probably done before the game's release and them getting feedback for the story, so it does make sense.
>>587533437if they do something like a full year in a region but intersperse minor changes of scenery that arent too asset expensive just like tippeus's snow area that would probably be exactly what people need. people just need change-ups in a timely manner, nobody likes seeing the same thing for too long no matter what it is.
>>587533693it's just strange how breakneck 1.1-1.2 wuling was only for them to have nothing left to work with in the second half of the year.
>1.4>conclusion to wuling>1.6>still in wuling

>>587534146Tldr
>>587533620unfortunately the endmin being a techno wizard seems like a forgotten concept, probably not enough hype and aura moments that way.

>>587534725There was a full followup to the Delta quest, the Endmin hacked the surveillance system in the ghost quest, and I'm pretty sure her tech skills came up a third time but I'm blanking at the moment for a fairly casual question like this.
our heroes
>>587535075they've kept the orignium mechanic part going but the prologue endmin was doing things like summoning massive turrets via teleprotocol to defeat aggeloi swarms. that's the concept that's just been excised completely

>>587535478always beenmandatory censorship
>>587535345Ah, I see what you mean by "techno wizard" now then.Eh... Honestly, I took the prologue cannons more as a stylized version of us setting up combat facilities on the overworld, rather than a wholly separate concept. And while it's something we COULD have done at other points (probably with some technobabble about templates in our protorig), I'm not really sure it would have added much compared to what we did instead.
>>587535496Congrats, time to sunderize.
>>587535929it's more of just the idea of the use and mastery of technology in that way is gone from consideration in the main story and has been replaced with rock magic.the endmin stops the blight tide with rock magic instead of xiranite. the siege of wuling is resolved by just fighting landbreakers instead of setting up defensive turrets. the people falling from the bridge are saved by using rock magic to make flying rocks instead of just teleporting them to safety.

>>587536620red woman mentioned
>>587536493/however that's consistent even with their launch trailer right? endmin is shown intervening in every situation with rockmagic, not protocol factory tech.so i think you're just advocating for your own headcanon of what endmin should represent

>>587533004The trees always spawn in the same location and have points where two will intersect or walk very close to each other, you have to kill them there and break the links. Grouping and CC effects are your friend. I cleared it on a phys team using chen to keep them lifted and cleared it on a not-phys team by solidifying them. It's very doable. What is the team you're trying with?
>>587536493Eh... The entire NEZ arc was using xiranite to establish safe zones from which to pour xiranite into rifts. The battle of Wuling was all about keeping the Xiranite pillars safe to repel the blight and allow the guards to handle the landbreakers. Nefarith was defeated by luring her into a massive xiranite trap. These aren't as flashy, but they're much more present in the story as a whole, in my opinion.I think 1.6 has had the weakest focus on technology so far, but that's because we're literally being healed by a god in a painting - they chose to focus on esotericism this chapter, but I don't think it represents a permanent break with the technological focus of 1.4, considering what crumbs we know about the next patch.
