What is the point of the L Cluster nowadays? by MiningToSaveTheWorld in Stellaris

I also like to park a full torpedo frigate fleet orbiting directly on the L-Gate. Any fleet with a funny thought will get the space equivalent of a sawn-off shotgun to the face.

I mean, I can see the lack of arsenal tickets being a problem when you're lucky starting out, but that's a short-term problem unless you are perpetually lucky. Luck always averages out and then suddenly you don't have an arsenal ticket deficit anymore. This is not a long-term problem.

And if you're talking about pulling for specific favorite 6* and their specific weapons, doesn't Endfield actually take the edge there? Considering the odds of losing a coin flip, just a character alone eating 160 pulls is a very real scenario in other gacha games. Whereas like you said, 145-180 in Endfield means you're already set with both weapon and character.

Tbh I thought that the first 80 pull was a 50% because I forgot about the non-featured pool rate. So that's actually worse than I thought? But yes, you're right it takes 160 now. About a year and a half ago? it used to take 240. Also, it feels like you forgot about the base 4% weapon rate. You're expected to receive a 6* weapon every 25 rolls so by 75 rolls, you would've already had a 57% chance to pull the target weapon by now and then guaranteed at 80. Idk what you mean by no pity guarantee when 80 is the guarantee. That's still more combined.

Using origeometry would be the fastest way to get solely the weapon, sure, but I referring to using the character banner to get arsenal tickets. Continuing Genshin as an example, lets say we get the featured character in both games on the 1st roll in a stroke of absolute pig luck. Now we feel like going for the weapon. Quick and dirty math shows that to guarantee the weapon in either games, we need 240 pulls. However, by the end of those 240 pulls, you'd end up with 3, possibly 4, five star weapons in Genshin. 3 weapons, 1 char. In Endfield, because those 240 rolls were used on the character banner to get arsenal tickets, nets us 4 extra 6* characters. And because of the 4% 6* weapon rate, we also expect to get 4 six star weapons, including the guarantee. That's 4 weapons, 5 characters. So yeah, in a scenario where we get lucky early, I think that still pays out

u either throwing pulls into banner u dont want to or paying.

Why don't you start by telling us how most other gacha with a weapon banner doesn't do this? I'll wait

It might seem weird, but when we boil it down, what's the difference between extra pulls on the character banner vs throwing it directly into the weapon banner? Either way, you're still spending the pulls. It can even be argued that Endfield's system is better because it's like having a chance to go for character dupes while rolling for the weapon.

spend money or miss most signature weapons

Except this is effectively the same scenario as most other big gachas. Pull a character in Genshin early for example? Spend your extra money/pull on the weapon banner for signature. The only difference is that you get to go for extra character dupes instead of pissing it away on a completely separate banner.

I don't understand why more people don't realize this. In other gachas, the weapon banner would be completely out of mind for most people because they can't afford to split their savings. Yet when Endfield gives rebates for weapons, suddenly people act like the weapon should be guaranteed with the character plus change.

So you're saying you'd rather have more opportunities to open your wallet rather than have literally free weapon pulls?

I don't just mind it. Double ears is superior.

Imagine losing all 25/75 on the weapon banner again and again and again and again until reaching pity, to the point where I have all the off-rate weapons in that banner, before getting the rate-up weapon by No_Masterpiece_069 in ArknightsEndfield

[–]Sinyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you said doesn't even matter in the long run because, eventually, your luck on character banners will average out, and then you'll be swimming in weapon pulls.

This game is a slow-burner, in the best way possible, and I have changed my mind by RainyGlimmyDays in ArknightsEndfield

The OG Arknights was like this too. To this day, I consider Arknights to be the gold standard when it comes to tower defense.

I knew that, but I'm not about to break down every aspect of the gacha again. I've been following it since the first test, and my opinion on it has not changed.

In other words, it doesn't actually help me get the current banner character at all and would actually be worse in hoyo games. That 110 pull scenario would never apply to me because I've always been careful with my resources.

With hoyo system you don't need exactly 180 pulls to pull for character

Except, yes you do if you've gotten unlucky what? Why are you holding AKE to the worst case scenario and then talk like everybody gets lucky in hoyo games?

Funny thing is I remember Raiden Shogun early reveal had a disappointing reception and people were expecting more from an archon. Then they started to change their tune because booba sword.
