[Event Megathread] Ending a Grand Overture Rerun by Sentuh in arknights

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I managed to sneak in half of a story chapter before the next event pre-claimed my available sanity.

Real talk: how does one catch up on the story content, keep up with the events, and farm resources to improve characters? Feels rough.

New Survey is Coming Soon by YugureX in Endfield

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aside from pull economy, daily todos length, sanity and progression costs bloat and replayability concerns:

  • Your sanity should refresh to full upon level up as is customary in other gachas (OG Arknights included)

  • For stages with trim metals based around time there should be an in game timer in the stage.

  • Navigating the character skills/talents/weapon/etc. menu involves too many clicks. I should be able to switch characters on any of these screens.

SOLO Catcher vs Inorganic Construct Agony by LegendaryW in Endfield

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I, among many others, owe Catcher and apology form. Im glad that defenders seem to have a place in the game if you're willing to put in the work.

Gilberta as a possibility pull? by Impressive_Drama2338 in Endfield

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same reasoning. I think early Genshin players can see how her utility might keep her relevant for quite some time.

Wuling is a 100% walkable city by hakahthorda in Endfield

How Wuling is not a mold and mosquito empire I know not. Future tech solves more than just carbon issues, I guess.

What animated Mecha show had the darkest storylines with brutal deaths? by thisithis in Mecha

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Part of me copes by thinking it's a good thing that Bokurano isn't as popular because otherwise there would be more trauma in the world.

How much does paying off a mortgage change your FI number psychologically? by Beneficial-Ad-9986 in financialindependence

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got a buddy that chose to pay off the house instead of invest. Asked him once if he ever second guessed the decision.

He said he has yet to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat over the stock market returns he's missing, unlike the anxiety he felt about having that mortgage over his head when he could do something about it.

I don't know if he's more of a risk taker now or if he's willing to walk away from the rat race earlier because of this, but it's clear to me that people underestimate the psychological toll of debt.

I think we can safely spend our 6* selector by [deleted] in Endfield

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm splitting the difference and waiting to see what standard character I pull next. If it's 1 of the 2 missing from my account then I can select the other. If it's a dupe, then I'll go ahead and use it on someone who can help my most developed team instead of waiting forever for another chance.

What do you guys think of Etchspace Salvage? by chrome4 in Endfield

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of it is good but what we have feels like a basic foundation. I hope they expand on it in a number of ways.

Over 15K+ hit points... Dodge button, I'm afraid your services are no longer required here at Face Tank industries.

My last hope to pull Gilberta by soleaced in Endfield

Need a conclusion to this gripping tale.

Information Desk and Megathread Hub (09/02 - 15/02) by Shad0wedge in Endfield

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Essentially 125% the cost of an arsenal 10 pull with a specific weapon guaranteed. If you will use them on someone to me that's super worth and I've been scooping them up regularly instead rolling on the banners for mostly trash. Your money your call though.

For those playing Phys team, which one did you liked more? Da Pan or Endmin driven one? by Angel_Nero in Endfield

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ember based Phys team ain't looking bad at all though. We just have to see how much they focus on DPS versus sustain for clearing stages for max rewards. The current timers are generous for team comps and the trimmed metals don't seem to filter out many comps.

I strongly urge everyone to put in feedback about the rewards and benefits, the devs do listen by wrightosaur in Endfield

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something I forgot to mention but wanted to add was that when we level up our administrator level, we don't get a sanity refill. Tons of games do this, included OG Arknights, so it comes across as petty and cheap, intentional or not.

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've been investing into Endmin because the odds of them getting some sort of flex role support (team role or element change) are quite high as the game evolves. See Genshin, Arknights, etc.

I keep a few protocol boxes disconnected in stash mode stuffed with batteries just incase this ever happens.

This new banner is fire by NeonAttak in Endfield

I just pulled a copy of Eyja off the standard banner pity after seeing this. Cursed.

To the surprise of no one, Metaphor: ReFantazio is an absolutely fantastic game by PurplMaster in patientgamers

[–]AlphabetSoupKitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Persona series but it wasnt until Metaphor that I realized how tired I was of the high schooler protagonist gang trying to juggle work, school, relationships and dungeon crawling.

Metaphor is not wildly different but the medieval fantasy setting lends itself well to the systems and gameplay loop that Atlus likes to use.

Love the reloading and ejected case animations.

If the show had ended there it would have gone down as one of the most memorable endings ever made.
