Last day of the Zillingstürme im Herbst event. Remember to do any stages in the event if you haven't already. Il Siracusano rerun up next, then Degen event afterwards.How are your pulls plans forward, got anyone in particular you're planning on pulling or get up to a certain pot?
>>1476479You forget CC2#1 after the rerun. Probably I will just aim for the limited ones excluding the original R6S Collab units.
Thinking of retiring. This isn't for me anymore but i hate missing limiteds.
>>1476479Im literally not pulling until Ulpianus lmao.
>>1476479but.. we didn't get the leto event..
>>1476983>previous thread>texalt event>next thread>texalt event
>>1476479Is Doc really beyond any chances of redemption and freeing himself from further suffering? And if he regains his pre-amnesia memories then definitively he'll take a blade, take a car, drive out of Rhodes Island off to some middle of nowhere and contemplate suicide.After the Babel event, it's clear that only friggin time travel would allow him to fix all the shit that happens in the game.>>1477219Wait. The Tribbies are in this event?
AYO where da auto repeat at?
>>1479370Wait. The Tribbies are in this event?
Can someone explain arknights to someone new to the game?
>>1480811Tower Defense with waifus and a healthy dose of trauma.
>>1480811youtube guide - the game
>>1480811>Tower Defense>Waifus>Husbandos>Deep Lore>A shitton of trauma per chapter>You only get lighthearted and funny stuff in side-stories
I made it. Took 2 years 5 months 5 days.
>>1480818>>1480819>>1484157Ahh I got it also how do I hang out with my operators cause I want to know more about Spot, Ethen, Click, Hung, and Beagle also try to build trust besides battles.
>>1485174Use them as both base slaves and floor assistants will cook trust quicker, you can build trust up to every 12 hours like that.https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Rhodes_Island_Infrastructure_Complex
The KFC skins made it to Global. I only care for Ifrit, good luck spending 5 times what chinks and japs spent for two skins + shipping for cheap plastic instead of some eatables.
I played this game a long time ago, wasn't super far, and didn't (as far as I know) have any rare meta units. If I want to try it again, should I start from the beginning?
>>1485468Depends how far your "not super far" is. If you've got good chunk of ops developed, stick with them. Even if you get some modern meta rerolling it wont get you far without investments so it will be a loose in the long run.
>>1485818I didn't have anyone ascended (promoted? I forget the term in this game) more than once, and I believe I was in the chapter after Misha.
>>1485819Do yo have anything good? Or limited stuff?Also looking back, not having maxed 3*s or E2s wasn't that enjoyable.
>>1485885
>>1485893Stay. There's no way to get Yatoalt ever again and most recent stuff (last year) are made around her and Texalt.E2+Mod Cuora (S2M3, could be your first E2, better be a low rarity you will always use + survivability)E2+Mod Texas (S3M3)E2+Mod Yatoalt (S2M3, S3M3)Fortress Defenders (Firewhistle) are peak fun
>>1485912Alright. Are there any resources for using quick redploy or summoner operators more effectively?
>>1485916Quick early dp from bagpipe+myrtle+agent+ogtexas
>>1486026Alright, that makes sense. So build up Cuora, Texas, and Kirin Yato for a solid core, then focus on Bagpipe and Myrtle to help support the characters I like using, then focus on said characters?
>>1486103Add one sniper and caster to your main squad. These units usually don't need high investments.
Man, trying to get 620 in CC is fucking hard. Does anyone know a low rarity clear for it?
Which mod is better for Hoshiguma? 4 block+32% to resist damage sounds really fucking nutty, but I can also see a lot of merit in 26% self DEF+11% ally DEF.
>>1487204defense buff is ass, just focus on her blocking niche.i'd only switch if they finally give her aggro module but i doubt that would happen.
>>1487213What about cat wife?
>>1487217who?
>>1487229Kaltsit. Ideally, I'd like to get both, but I want to prioritize the better mod for now.
>>1487234None is better so just pick based on your preferred playstyle(frd/sustain).
>>1487255>>1487213Thanks for the advice. I'll prioritize Hoshi first since Kaltsit is already good as is. Plus Kaltsit's mod requirements are a fucking pain to do.
>>1485453>Didn't realise there was a web event until nowFUCK. Am I too late to get the Ifrit skin? It's the only one I really care about.
>>1487628No, I think that's just an award for participating.You can still get it, just log in, catch some fish, upload a pic.
>>1486111Thanks for the help! I'm finally able to clear the chipset stages, and tomorrow I should be able to ascend Cuora!
https://rhodesislandvacation.arknights.global/You have to clear 3 out of 4 objectives daily to get Ifrit's skin>Login in>Fishing once>Sharing anything once (just pressing the button will do it)>And/or uploading a postcard.You will get her outfit by doing these for 5 days.
>>1488192I still don't have Ifrit
>>1488195You have to turn all squares to orange, you can pick 3 per day at best.Also the rewards are good stuff for a web event.
>>1488195Oh nvm I can't read, sorry. That wouldn't stop me. I've bought so many skins while not owning the OPs yet.
Alright I'm in the middle chapter 2 of this game the plot is interesting but I unlocked mountain side story do the side story spoil the main plot?
>>1489448If anything, intermezzos beside the abyssal hunter saga add more context to the main story.
>>1489448We're getting to the point where side stories are more important than the main plot.
>>1489563At least we get to see new things and working with different groups of people in different regions in those side stories, while in the main plot we still have to deal with the same bunch of losers for years.
I been playing since at least 2020 all I do is try to E2 old operators now I havent even went past 10-8 is something wrong with me
>>1489571Kek that's like saying the game's better when it's no longer arknights.
Kjera's kjeras holy molyNew bust queen?
>>1491577Nvm I'm retarded it's a rerunSomehow missed this skin all this time
I want the new lee skin and the Fishman at the same time but I know I will have bad luck.
it's so fucking over. 140 pulls only to roll mudrock dupe and penance i am gonna masturbate to degenbrecher nsfw and then kill myself.
>>1497619Sorry to hear that, anon.I was lucky enough to get her in my second 10-pull. Once in a while the gacha gods smile upon you.
30 pulls got black knight Even tho it's been years since I've read any story I fucking love everything about her, she's just perfect in every wayGod bless her
>>1497619Got her in 3 rolls, lifes good.Last character I went for I put 110 rolls down, got shining, mudrock, saria. so I know the pain.
>>1497619Got her in the 40-60 pulls.And I must say...SHE'S VERY LORE ACCURATE.
I'm kinda stuck on 2-10 on the main story. How can I beat it? Current team format. Amiya, Spot, Myrrh, Lappland, Kroos, Platinum, Hung, Diamante, Hibiscus, Rangers, Siege, and Ethan
>>1499089How leveled up are your ops?
>>1497725Also situations with her can be pretty hilarious.Just read her files on when Warfarin was examining her.
>>1499123In that same order 50, 55,45,50,32,50,50,46,40,30,50,45
>>1499128Drop Siege near the crossroad immediately where the first enemies appear. Quickly drop Spot next to the 2nd lane if you have enough DP. Also drop a medic near them.You need an Executor class operator to quickly drop on the lane down to block the Senior Casters long enough to deploy Hung on said lain. So drop Rangers and put in Gravel if you have her.Put Platinum and Diamante near Siege and drop in Ethan.Remember that there should be complete medic cover because the upper lane will have a Senior Caster appearing.BTW, drop Lappland a tile further from Hung.
>>1499133Thank you for your help I was able to beat the level and now I'm on Chapter 3. Thanks again
>>1499184No probs. Was glad to help here.
>>1499089to become a god you have to be with THE GOD
What's the next don't-miss-it banner?
>>1508015Straight up w alt. The in-betweens are roll-if-you-like.
>>1508015For men of the high breed answer to that question would be shu and for metaslave goys it would be the khazarian bimbo whore
>Carries a humongus pair of scissors everywhere>Claims its for cutting fabric>Dies
>>1511868She's that bad or what?
>>1517817Think the joke is that you'll see her more in doll form rather than her scissor formBena is pretty useful since in doll form she has damage reduction
>>1517989OK, time to upgrade her then...as well as some other 5 and 4 stars.
CCP digital brainwash asset that has been designed to soften up the international response to a hypothetical invasion of Taiwan
I don't think I've ever felt such apathy towards a limited banner before.
>>1526324>instantly get after 300 rollsIt's alright, I think HG knows you won't be the only one lmao.
>>1526324Hard to put into words but it feels like FGOesque average limited gacha banner slop
OK, so the new Reclamation Algorithm came in and it seems to be a tad different from the original. Need to play it more.
hey check it out guys its mr nuffin
>more permanent game modeIt's about time they add a fucking skip feature on farming stage. Instead we got this shitty auto retake, which is already available since day1 with macro, and for whatever reason they also put a fucking limit on it.
So after the whole Victoria arc...where will Arknights go now with the story?
>>1536678More nonsensical shit that would somehow lead to endfield.
>>1536685We already got IS4 for that...
>>1536685Everyone wants Talulah at one point to be playable.I on the other hand want the story to reveal that she became Queen of Victoria, but instead of limiting herself to a puppet queen, she goes full queen and pushes reforms that not only makes the lives of Infected folks better, but also forcing safety regulations in factories that would at least greatly limit the number of infections. Not to mention recreating Gaul and Tarant, but as vassal states (yet with enough autonomy to keep their cultures intact).
Crossovers that will probably never, ever happen:>DOOM, with Doomguy/Doomslayer being a tanky, high damage lord guard with him whipping out the BFG as his 3rd skill>Command & Conquer, with Kane as a unique support character with some fun skills and talents along with some really good command center abilitiesA man can wish.
How can I get spots second skin the one where he looks more cartoonish bllodline of combat
>>1543206This one? It was login reward so I guess you need to wait until they did some kind of rerun like Hibiscus skin on current event shop.
Bros I'm getting filtered by the crocodussy...
>>1549156What part is filtering you? Who is your DPS and who is resetting her attack buff?
>>1549156I think I need to finally give Gnosis that overdue promotion...Good thing I got the proper ops with elemental damage...and Typhon.
>>1549156bwo your click and kjera?
Dang. Got Iana and Doc,but no Ela.
>>1560048She's guaranteed after 120 pulls.
>>1560048Got her three times and managed to max out the potentials of the other three.I have still enough rocks for the other three R6 ops from the previous event.
I have a question about the weekly Orundum rewards where do I clam them I already got all 1450 on sunday and then it was gone today?
>>1563417>weekly Orundum rewardsAnnihilation one? It's automatically added and you can get 1800 max every week.
>>1563417Reward are already claimed at results screen. The counter just shows how much orundum that you already claimed. Also, it's called weekly because it reset every week, on Monday daily server reset.
Is it gay to jump on this game a gorillion years late because I heard some stuff about the lore that sounds cool?
>>1568972Brother I started playing two or two and a half years in because I couldn't get over how good the techwear fashion was in all the fanart I saw. You're in good company
>>1568972Ideally, you should've joined at or before the MonHun collab at the least, since it had one of the most busted characters in the game and gives you more than enough time to build up your roll currency, but right now is your best time. The R6S collab is one of a handful of limited events, and it also happens to have Ela, a meta character that is perfect for newbies. If you join now, or at least before 19, you can nab her and maybe even another meta character (Surtr) from the standard banner.
Yay, got Ela. She's a beast.
>>1572131Her skill 3 is stupidly useful.Applying fragility is sweet.
So anyone playing the new CC?Damn Seaborn are a menace.
>>1584380Can't say I'm a fan of post-POO CCs but I did the minimum for it. It sure does want you to bring Lin to nullify the noodle assholes.
>>1584560Those noodle assholes were the worst after buffing. They unexpectedly shred through all the guards and defenders so I had to get the heavy healing guns.
>Play the Babel event>MFW I watch the storyDoc is beyond redemption is he? It would take time travel BS to mitigate some of the thing s he did...
I still need to read it, I've had stuff to do yesterday and today.Should I pull for Ascalon? I have hundreds of pulls banked so I'm safe for the next limited banners, and I guess she seems pretty cool. I already pulled to first 6* and got a first time Saga. Fucking crazy I got her only just now, I've been playing for a little over three years.
>>1589536Wouldn't go all the way to spend 200 on her, but she's well worth pulling till second 6*.
>>1589562Cripes, pulled to second and got Dorothy. 100 pulls total.
>>1589595Welp.
>>1589536>Should I pull for Ascalon?She's a beast when positioned right.>>1589595>>1589646I feel your pain.
>>1589595 (me)I went back and pulled until I got Ascalon, fuck it. I still have enough pulls banked I could max pot Wis'adel if I wanted to (I don't). She's fucking nuts, I didn't expect her to be able to sweep her module stage like she can.
>>1592146>I still have enough pulls banked I could max pot Wis'adel if I wanted tothe fuck how many pulls you have?
>>1596197This and another 42 in permits from the yellow shop, event shops, etc. I've had some decent pull luck at times. Muelsyse in three pulls, Reed in two, Blemi in three on the first celebration banner, eight gacha 6*s before getting my first Cardigan, etc.
>>1596221dang that's a deep bankI'm floating around 300 pulls waiting for tomertosa and walter but I'll probably never pull any 6* to max pot
after reading the event i can confidently say that kal'tsit is stupid.
So what did you guys think of the CN livestream? It took me maybe a tenth of a second to dub the new 5* Faggarino.
>>1569049Dunno if you're still here but maybe GFL would have been a better fit for your techwear thirst.Unless you were also looking for something that plays like an actual game.>>1597010giwtwm
Where can I go to look up Arknights lore and characterization? specifically something I have to read instead of fast forwarding because the person doing the lore video reads slower than I do. better to read it all and select text to copy and memorize than watch a slow ass video.
>>1600651try the wikihttps://arknights.wiki.gg
Is this new event a new story chapter if so I'm far behind at chapter 4 and its required to finish 14-5 and more
>>1603449Uh, if I'm reading what you asked correctly then yes it's a new story chapter, but no, for the next couple weeks or so you can run the stages if you've done 1-10.
what the fuck is 14-21, why make a level with 800 enemies when you only have to kill one?were there any other stages where they pulled bullshit like this? I hate when the stage objectives are so unclear
>>1589533It's an uncommon twist to find you were the zombies all along, John.
What are you guys doing with Logos? I went mastery on s3 but I'm thinking about doing s1 too since I tend to get a lot of use out of a solid AFK skill.
>>1604510I haven't decided yet so I'm doing s3 for w'alter now. I'll probably go s3.
Screw it, I've done s3m3 for both of them, I'm doing s1m3 for Logos too. I checked my planner and material stocks and I was only a couple D32 steel and a couple t4s shy of having everything already on hand.
>>1604534did you 90 logos? I feel like I will only s1m3 him if I boost to 90 to get the absolute most out of the attack%kill.
>>1604642I may. I'm the guy who posted that screenshot of having like a thousand pulls in various bullshit and my LMD/exp stocks are similarly bloated.
>>1589533Doc (You) did nothing wrong though.Your race spent millennia observing the rise and fall of countless civilisations, the birth and destruction of planets and galaxies. Their final conclusion was that everything is meaningless and they couldn't escape from the inevitable. Originium was the final solution your entire race with their millennia of experience came up with, but somehow the ideals of a cute pink haired girl can trump the inevitable? Obviously I know this is a game so there needs to be some hope and a way forward to tell a story.
>>1605056Doc did a shitload of bad stuff he now regrets and the Ancient's plan of turning Terra and everything organic into a planetoid chunk of not!Tyberium is also probably futile due to the eldritch aliens the doc described as lumberjacks out of nowhere probably would tank with ease whatever the Ancients wanted to throw at them.
I decided to burn 200 more pulls last night to get tomertosa. I just hope I have enough saved up again by the time cholunday is back since that's the slut I was really saving up for.
>Never really play gacha games>Find out about degenbrecher and Hoshiguma>Decide I must have them>Few weeks go by>Think I'll have a good little while before either of them show up on banners>Log in>Fuck>Only have enough resources banked for three 10x>Debate myself on if I should risk it or just keep saving for next time>Believe in the heart of the cards>Don't get her>SeethingI think I now understand why people become whales, guess I'll just go grind the story for originium. atleast Beehunter is cute.

I'd love for Icebreaker Games to be a permanent or recurring thing. This is probably the most I've enjoyed an alternate game mode since IS3.

>>1613937get carried, noob
>>1613937Meh, who cares. Everyone has been at that point and everyone's just trying to get the points.I've got plenty of maxed out ops - sometimes I do next to nothing because the person I'm playing with puts his ops in front of mine or he places some unit that kills everything. Other times I get the most kills.It's a very casual thing, don't overthink it.
>try out game for couple hours>get stuck>not enough for a roll>uninstall
>>1614336Like most gatchashit you can play Arknights for free if you play casually, and the free rolls will pile up over time if you're checking in regularly. Also like most mobile games I would say whether you spend or not Arknights the game is basically designed to be enjoyed for shorter sessions, like maybe an hour a day. If you'd rather sit down to a game for 6+ hour sessions then you're better off on other platforms. Good luck, friend.
This is more of a general statement than a response to that post but I really don't mind a little whaling in this. I don't go buying OP or anything but I used to pick up the occasional pack on top of the monthly card since I was aware that it was keeping me from spending money on other shit. It would be one thing if I were looking at it in a vacuum or if the gacha were as greedy as the average Mihoyo game, but with it being fairly generous, it getting regular substantial content updates, and it not requiring any attention to grind/farm it finally helped me quit playing MMOs (so far) for good and kept me from wasting my time and occasionally money on random games I didn't really care that much about. It's been a great novelty drip feed and since I started playing it's probably saved me way more money on random bullshit entertainment than I would've spent otherwise.
>>1613937It's a pvp game mode bwo, just block their deployment points with elf, push enemies into their box or aack their w2
>>1477219ohh yeah i remember i was the one that made the previous thread
>>1614336ak isn't supposed to be a game you get on and grind for 6 hours like you'd do for any other deadbrain shooter gameit's a casual evreyday loggin, like clash of clan for example
>>1480819Skill issueYou literally get 30 free (in terms of Sanity (stamina)) attempt every day. You can literally just run the map and see what's happening.
>>1618664>casual evreyday loggin>like clash of clanskek
>>1618769Sounds like a waste of time.
>>1619209Video games are a waste of time in general, don't you think?
Everything is a waste of time. That's why we bother with shit like video games in the first place. There's other stuff you could be doing but none of it matters any more than just fucking around anyway.
Is anyone playing on CN who could confirm something about the base QoL changes for me?I just saw picrel showing that timers until fully rested are no longer shown in operator assignment. I've seen video showing that timers until zero morale are shown if you tap a working facility in the overview screen, so does it show everyone's timers until full if you select a dorm in overview in the same way?I couldn't find a shot of that in any video about the updates and I'm trying to figure out how this affects me. I set timers for my daily base rotation based on those, so either it's visible by operator on the overview and streamlines setting timers a little, or it's gone and I should pay attention to how long they are. The latter isn't the end of the world since they're usually consistent within a few minutes but it would be nice not to have to commit the average to memory to stay accurate.
How did you enjoy co-op
>>1622559It was fun.The levels weren't that demanding and even if you did poorly you didn't waste your time.
>>1622559One can just hope for a permanent co-op any time soon.(will be confirmed before the announcement of the offline version trust me)Also, really saw how broken Walter is, really made a difference.
>>1622559Honestly? It was fun.Hoping at one point this will be a standard feature.>>1625215>Also, really saw how broken Walter is, really made a difference.Boy and how.Also to everyone here. How are your thoughts on Ulpianus (his 2nd skill makes him stupidly tanky).
>>1626786>How are your thoughts on Ulpianus (his 2nd skill makes him stupidly tanky).He's pretty cool from what I've seen and tried. I still need to see what s3m3 does for me since I cleared the story stages while he was in training but I might keep running Abyssal Hunters for the EX stages just for shits.Haven't messed with s2 yet but I could see it being something I use in an AFK deploy or something depending on how the numbers measure up to alternatives.
>>1629585S2 turns him permanently for the rest of the stage into a rapidly regenerating tank with his health massively increased after he charges it up.That's pretty good. It also increases his damage. So if you want this to work well at level 3, you should max him out to level 90.
There's something extremely comfy about getting events like Hortus or this during December.The gimmicks are easygoing and quite pleasant to mess around, the music and the vibe hit the right spot and 6* males with funcore kits.All while it's nice outside and I have all the day to enjoy myself with the game.Too bad both are quite short, I still have to start RA2 and couldn't care less about Pepe and co.
Fuck, is that announcement saying that I can only get the mesugaki Caper outfit for a limited time? How do I cheese this mode so I don't have to learn anything or engage with it? I tried that before and I couldn't stick with it at all.
>>1634075yes, it'll be a 10 day window starting on the 20thlooks like there'll be daily missions, so i bet you can do the bare minimum and get away with enough points for the skin
>>1634075Just pick Peaceful Mode on the start screen and you'll be fine (the circle between Start and Resume)
>>1634661Yeah, I didn't realize they'd already added baby mode. I saw something showing that I could get away with doing the bare minimum to unlock a certain craft that just takes a little wood, harvest a shitton of wood, and basically just keep a save where I can craft the giant stockpile of wood into a million of the item, advance time so it cashes out points, then reload that earlier save so I can do it again. It should streamline the hell out of that process not having timed raid pressure.I dunno, maybe once I got a better feel for what I'm doing I'd want to go back and try actually playing it legit but if I'm being honest I'd probably just keep bouncing off it so long as resource gathering is tedious.
>>1634877 (me)Also saw some rando's post saying that the event tasks you need to do can clear out the rewards without even necessarily touching RA2, but I'd imagine there's some low hanging fruit that could expedite the process, and I have rewards to farm anyway.
My time has come to get the fish detective for hello kitty but I got goldenglow instead. Is she a good operator?
>>1638142Goldenglow is very good.She can be used to attack targets all over the stage, which is pretty powerful in some stages, with one skill, or as a great damage-dealer after charging up her powers with another skill.
Our daughter's new L2D outfit is pretty good.
it's messed up that weedy doesn't get an armpit skin when she's probably the only one who's a big enough germophobe to keep it clean enough to lick
>>1608935Meanwhile I pulled randomly for her and got her, IIRC. Single 10 pull, just like the Bloodborne guy a while ago.Arknights and most mobile games are total shit to be honest. I initiated my account deletion today and in a few weeks the account will be gone. I've come to realize the game's a horrible skinner box and I've now reached the point where even ISW isn't fun anymore, due to how everything in AK and the mode is designed. I am sick of not having all characters available and even the ones I do have and are "maxed" aren't fully reinforced yet.Only way I'll ever play this dumpster fire of a "game" again is if some guy comes up with a new private server client for PC or as apk.People who play these games and defend the entire F2P/gacha monetization as a whole are deluded niggers. Almost as deluded as the average 4chan user these days, as no doubt someone will seethe about me saying nigger "outside of /b/". Few years ago no one gave a shit still, but this website and its moderation have also gone downhill since 2016. Gook moot can suck it.For anyone reading this, in case my reply stays up in this rather dead thread, don't start playing AK too if you're interested. It's a garbage chink game that's dime a dozen. Any sort of positives like the "lore" and shit you could come up with is drowned out by the fact it's a game that's F2P trash, which does not value your time and neither your money really, as you could spend 10x off what the game could/should cost as a pay-to-play game, and you'd still only get a single character out of it.Game could've been 40 bucks, but nah. It's F2P trash where you can spend $400 and only get a single guaranteed limited-time character out of it.Never spent a single cent on AK and I am glad for it. I'm just sad that ISW is stuck inside of that retarded-ass game.
>>1649816skill issueAK is the most generous gacha game in the world of mihoyo 50/50
>>1649816I've been playing since release and i'm still debating whether i should do it or nah. Been hating their decisions ever since they released their first alt unit but i'm surrounded by people who suck highdark's cock so it's quite a dilemma.Anyway, glad you get yourself out of kusoge hell and see you in endfield i guess?
>>1649846>out of kusoge hell>see you in endfield>he isn't aware
>>1649851I know what you're trying to say anon, but being an open space kind of game, it lets you do more than just slide your power point left and right...even if the novelty wears out in just a few days.
>>1649821>"generous"You get barely any pulls and almost every character is a 2% chance, and you'd want to get that character 6 times in total. Delusional beyond belief.>>1649846Had already forgotten about Endfail. Friend talked about the beta/whatever test last year, when you could sign up for it. All I remember is that a lot of the beloved characters are dead in that game, so what's the point? Again, chinks don't learn. They'd rather run with whatever makes the most money and somehow their writers always get their fucking way too. I am sure Arknights players would love a game where like 85% of their fav characters are dead. Depressing story for the sake of le depression XDDD is getting tiring. Lots of other games and IPs have done the same shit and it never ends well with players.
>>1649947Yeah, they walked back on that apparently. From what I understand they changed a ton of the story based on feedback, plus at least three Arknights operators have been featured as playable.Who knows, maybe it'll be good. I'm skeptical and assume it's going to be a lot closer to Mihoyo bullshit than most people are comfortable admitting but I'll wait and see. I'm not invested or retarded enough to speak of a game that isn't even in beta in absolute terms.
>>1649947>You get barely any pullsFalse>and almost every character is a 2% chanceThis is a gacha, most gacha have a 0.01% rate for each character.>and you'd want to get that character 6 times in total. Character dupes make literally 0 difference here. Have you even played the game?>Delusional beyond belief.Just say AK is your first gacha lmao.
>>1649947Lol, it's very, VERY rare to see someone actually complain about this game. At least i give them credit for using a clever FOMO tactics; giving the players illusion of being able to get everything for free with given time.People might think that the devs "reward loyal players" while they voluntarily slave themselves and defend this bad practice.
>>1650547lol it's very rare to see complaints about the gacha component because compared to the majority of other gacha, AK is very generous.> giving the players illusion of being able to get everything for free with given time.It's not an illusion if it's true.
>>1650554FGO would make these fags froth at the mouth.
>>1650188It'll most likely be Genshin-esk slop anyway, but hey at least it'll keep the lore fags/waifu collectors happy. Last thing you'd want is ti piss off the crowd who pays your bills, like it happened with GFL2 and the Raymond thing.>>1650504>falseNo, true. I forgot the numbers, but compared to something like Azur Lane you get around 1/3 the pulls, at most. On Slop Lane you get roughly 25-30 pulls a week (50-60 cubes) from everything including event rewards, comms, etc.On AK you're barely scraping by most of the time. The only time you get a decent amount of currency is during those special events, like the anni and half anni, with often a full pull+ a day in currency alone and a free pull on a banner.I've played AK for about 16 months and I've simply had enough. I am not a loser and will save up for 1 big pull every 6/12 months like I'm a peasant. On AL I've been pulling on every banner at least 50 times, often 60-70, and I had no issues affording that past an initial saving and screwing up period of around 3~ months after I started playing that game. In several years I've only ever missed out on about 8 characters, and 5-6 of those where from that initial period. The other 3 I've missed out on because I was either too low for comfort or couldn't be asked to drop another 100 cubes for potentially nothing. Very rarely I'd get very unlucky on that game, and very rarely I'd get very lucky. Most of my time I'd get average luck, as one you'd expect. And average luck isn't an issue when you get about 25 pulls a week and rates are 7% + 2% most of the time, as AL revolves around SRs which are 7% and 2% rate up. So not only do you get more pulls in AL, you have way better chances as well. 9% as UR characters are rare to get added. Even then URs are 2.4%. I don't care about FGO and its 0.0000000007% rates.>just say AK is your first gacha XDDIt's was my second/third and I know how shitty gacha can be in general. AK has shit rates, cope.
>>1650547>People might think that the devs "reward loyal players" while they voluntarily slave themselves and defend this bad practice.Exactly. They try to gaslight people into thinking loyalty is rewarded, like via those "thank you for your continuous love for AK!" mails you sometimes get, where they'll give you a few random materials and 1/3 of a single pull in currency. Best thing is that all mail you get has an expiry date. So much for "loyalty". The amount of extra currencies and ways to level and whatever is beyond infuriating.Also regarding me glazing Azur Lane, as much I think the gacha is way better than what AK has to offer, it's still shitty gacha in the end and AL has by far the worse gameplay. AL is a waifu collector in the end and the whole way the dock works is gay. Dock space being limited is semi-okay, but there being no temporary holding dock for sortieing and the gacha pulls is stupid. I always keep 100-200 slots free just to not have to worry about cleaning things out every other battle. What kept me around with AL was shitposting in global chat. It kept me "playing" and spending. What kept me around with AK was ISW, but it has reached the point now where I simply don't have fun anymore and I am more so annoyed at how I am limited in how and with whom I can play. I don't like the stupid The Sands mode, I don't like the stupid VN or anything else. I genuinely hope some guy will make another private, updated client of AK one day so I can go back to playing ISW how it was intended to be played.>>1650554Yeah, same how you could've spent playing OW"2" for like 200 years or something to obtain all the premium skins for "free".
>>1650608Yeah, they have clearly never played ones like granblue, DBZ dokkan, or any bandai and nexon gacha really. They also talk about rates and dupes, when they clearly don't know that you need to spark to get something you want in a gacha. Try any mihoyo game where you need the character, several dupes to unlock basic features of that character, their signature weapon (which is also 50/50 on a separate banner) or their signature stigmata/lightcone/gear.>>1651402>>1651411Didn't read your walls of vomit but AL is a collection mobage, retards. You can get 100% collection rate since you don't spend premium currency on getting characters. AL is the same type of game as Girls Frontline 1, where you can get 100% collection rate.
>>1651411>I genuinely hope some guy will make another private, updated client of AKI'd like to see a dark horse that actually learns from its greats and flaws rather than playing something that tries too hard to look like real game, but in the end it's still gachashit.>No QoL because it's a real game?Nah, it's pure greed. They only added auto repeat after HSR allowed their players to do so(both have the same limit of 6 runs btw).>Great music?It's just one time bangers with no identity.>Vast lore?It's shallow as shit, almost nothing new but rehashed things that already exist.>Le difficulty?Releasing operators with def/res ignore and true damage was their greatest mistake.>Good art?I agree with this one at least.>Fun gameplay?I genuinely never have eureka moment in this game since day one. It's either too easy or retry malding for hours.>Story?6 chapters of tangent, 2 chapters of point, ends with a cliffhanger.I once act like a tough cookie for being able to bear with artificial sense of accomplishment from GaaS, what a waste of time.Thanks for reading my blogpost.
>>1651538Cope harder.>>1651554>Nah, it's pure greed. They only added auto repeat after HSR allowed their players to do so(both have the same limit of 6 runs btw).Obviously it's pure greed. And the saddest thing is to think about the devs. I'd like to imagine that a lot of them despise the game they've made, as it's gacha shit that'll never live up to what it could've been. But I know that in reality a lot of these people probably not only do not mind, but likely think the game's great actually, because they too grew up with that sort of game and got used to the predatory practices.>Releasing operators with def/res ignore and true damage was their greatest mistake.Yeah, it seems that every other 6* that releases now is a walking fortress. Shu is a great example of a defender which is entirely busted. Tons of healing and other buffs while no downside to the block count or other things. Meanwhile operators like Aurora still exist for some fucking reason. A character which is entirely useless on her own and is still outclasses by other 5*s even when she has a proper setup w/ support.I liked using non-6* characters, but the game heavily pushes you towards them where you'll eventually have to give in and start using them. 6*s have next to no downsides. They're the de facto operators to play with. It would've been better to just have "regular" characters and then "special" characters, where 6* = special and everything else = regular. But this way you're almost being actively punished for trying to use 5* ops at all. You're better off never using them and just sticking to the 6* slop and the few decent 4* characters there are.
>>1651554>>1651596>still talking shit despite only having played one or two gachaslmao @ you
>>1651602Three, and it doesn't matter. You're an addict and a nigger. People like you have ruined the industry, because you have zero fucking standards and will accept anything that these companies throw at you.
Feel free to refute my points, otherwise you just end up looking like a falseflagger who tries to paint a bad picture of the game and the community.
>>1651609 (Me)meant for >>1651602
>>1651538>mihoyo gameDon't remind me. The only somewhat decent gacha they made is ZZZ, and only because the animations are god-tier.
>>1651777Now imagine a world where ZZZ was a $40-60 game and that's it. A finished, fully-fledged product. I know that's a pipe-dream and nothing more, as even AAA studios can't manage that anymore, and really.. haven't for the past 6-8 years now. Even in 2013/14 we've day multi GB day one patches.This shit's just beyond depressing, all of the effort and talent being wasted on this slop.
>>1652336>$40-60Fuck no. It doesn't deserve that big of a price when there really is nothing else going for it besides the animation and admittedly the character designs. Hell, I'd rather they just drop the game entirely and turn it into an anime. THAT'S something I'll pay top dollar for.
Lowlight is Chinese Kojima please understand
heya anons just saw the game is having its 5th anni soon, quick question. how easy is it to set up your account now?lost my multi year account over a year ago and never restarted because holy fuck getting started is painfully slow.it any easier to at least get a few operators to e2 nowdays or is it still a massive multi week slog per unit when you're just starting?also is picrel returning any time soon?
>>1652498I've only heard that now you can pick thorns as your starter, nothing changed in farming routines unless you want to farm scraps from IS.>is picrel returning any time soon?Here's the lineup for the upcoming limited banner. I don't think any of these operators are worth mentioning for jumpstart.
>>1652507oh shit you can bag thorns for free now? nice. sounds like it's an okay time to slowly ease back in then.
>>1651606>>1651609>>1651610What is there to debate, you dumb niggers? You are factually and objectively incorrect. If you don't like the game, there's literally hundreds of other gacha out there. I'm sure you can find one you like. Your opinions don't matter. My opinions don't matter. Modern gaming is about what makes the most money. Don't like it? Play indie or old games where they make games for actual gamers to enjoy, not to make stonks higher. It doesn't matter how much cope you write, no one cares because at the end of the day, video games are about making money and shit anons says on 4chan will have 0 influence on what developers of video games do.
>
>>1652449That's the point, genius. If it was a proper fucking game it wouldn't be the same as it is right now. Right now the game (and all other gacha slop for that matter) is undercooked with almost nothing to it. ZZZ, Arknights and etc could've all been very good if not great, proper video games. Instead they're gacha slop and nothing more.And don't worry, I'm sure they'll churn out some 12 ep anime season eventually..>>1652538And you're factually a nigger. Go ahead and choke on your dad's ballsack you cretin.
>>1652498Picrel I think SHOULD be one of the longshot limited reruns on whatever banner we get around April.
there's only so much pepe I can post on /vt/ before they get pissed off so now I'm your problem
anon that just restarted with a new account again, I'm sitting on the anni 5* ticket as well as the two freebee 5* tickets newbie accounts get and wanna know who's best bang for my buck. what I've got right now>thorns>hoshi>pepi>mountain>eunectes>la pluma>projekt red>wind chimes>cementI was thinking of lapland for old times sake but I'm guessing that'd be a waste of a choice given I'm rushing e2 for thorns, right?spectre is the other choice from that ticket. then there's the ticket with what looks like all five stars, anyone of note I should bag from that?
>>1656171Lapp's silence is still good and you might also want to pick ptilo or warfarin. Newer ones that aren't vanguard are too niche for my taste.
>>1656174this might sound strange but I never actually looked at what ptilo could do until you posted that suggestion and wow I slept on her badly in the past with that aura passive she has. got too used to perfumer so never explored the other options.
It's bullshit that Papyrus is one of the top.. let's say three or five cutest operators we've ever gotten and she's designed by possibly my favorite contributing illustrator and she's not worth the investment because I have Perfumer built. Like yeah, I'll probably build her anyway in case I ever do nicheknights with only the cutest ops but come on.
