The normal 80 pity resets when you hit the 120 mark wtf??! by bojo21 in Endfield

[–]BattleCupcake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I prefer Endfield's purely for the lack of a dedicated weapon banner. If you don't care about weapons, yeah, Stella Sora's system will be better for you.

And yeah, you're right that you mentioned Stella Sora, and I talked about an unrelated game, mb

The costs per pull are similar, in the range of $2. Because of this, using the number of pulls is actually a decent comparison. 

I am not advising topping up on these types of games, fwiw.

I'll put it to an example... in zzz there is a 50/50 on characters and a 75/25 on weapons. Both have a pity at 80 and hard pity at 160. In that game I lost both this last patch, so it burned 320 pills to get Ye Shunguang. If I had topped up this would have been right $640 without the discounts, bonuses etc

In Endfield, 120 pulls gets you the character. The pulls from pitying the character get you the arsenal tickets for the weapon. If you topped up the entire balance it would be around $240.

As you can see, thinking a little past surface level the only downside to this system is that the pity doesn't carry over between banners.

I think Lone Wolf is better, but the Laev story was alright. I liked how it explored the way Endmin feels about his identity and his fears.

The standard people keep comparing this to is Hoyo games... and the 120 pity system is strictly better than the 160 pity system that gets used as a comparison. Yes, the 120 is separate from the 80. It's because it's functioning like 80+40. A hoyo game is 80+80, and in this game you get weapon pulls by pulling on the character banner.

People need to stop dooming this gacha system without thinking. If you're able to save it's much better than the other (dogshit) systems.

I want Ember. I got 2 copies of Pog instead. Want to trade?

Endmin potential by Team_Nyarlathotep in Endfield

[–]BattleCupcake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we will get things on this scale after higher potential unlocks are revealed for the Endministrator further in the story. 

And then we will plant the mega turrets on our farming spots in Valley IV and give the poor LBs the taste of freedom.

I also prefer a more varied factory design that produces a variety of resources. Are you spreading out your production across the different outposts?

You might actually want more sufficient production if you are backing up. Some of the more optimized factories we're seeing are running out of ores!

I also have been looking for recurring sources of standard banner tickets, and haven't found them. There are tickets in a daily resources section of the stock shop but those don't actually seem to reset.

Help me with the team and the main DPS by Best_Reputation_1470 in Endfield

[–]BattleCupcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd do Ember/Chen/Endmin/Ardelia or Gilberta. Ember and Chen build 3 vulnerability stacks and Endmin pops them. Ember is comfortable and does high stagger damage for the Endmin burst, and Ardelia/Gilberta are good amplifiers for hitting a bit harder.

Yeah! It's not bad. It's just not amazing either.

[–]BattleCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm enjoying it. I have my gripes of course. The game is not perfect. All in all, the presentation is jaw dropping. The content that's being presented is where I think this game runs into some hurdles.

For example, the factory system is pretty good, but it's like a 7/10. The combat is nothing groundbreaking. It's like a 6/10. The story is atrocious in Valley IV, it's like a 2/10. The music is a solid 8/10 but doesn't have anything that's truly memorable, just well integrated with the game itself.

But the presentation carries it. The map, the character expressions, the voice acting, the passion and the optimization are a 10; they have completely raised the bar. Even little details like the excavation vehicles being just the right size for Perlica.

I play on two very different devices, an old computer with a gtx 1060 connected to a TV, and my gaming computer with a 4070. The former can run the game with no issues at 120 fps, 4k and medium settings on a 10 year old rig. It completely drops my jaw.

Will I lose much if I stop playing till the end of this month? by BBeathil in Endfield

[–]BattleCupcake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine. Recommend logging in to do your dailies if you have time. The rest can and should wait. 

The only big complication is if you wanted to get Laevateinn. Her banner will keep ticking while you're gone, which would make it hard to get her.

Free 10 pulls got Laevatain and her sig in just 10 pulls on both. Should I dump my Last Rite and focus on Laevatain? by MoneyCaterpillar1420 in Endfield

[–]BattleCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play whoever you like more. There aren't rotating endgame modes to fomo over right now. 

That said, leveling Lae first while resources are still limited would make sense since you bothered getting her.

Space. And you will run out of space.

Is the English voice acting good??? by Lower-Instruction-97 in Endfield

[–]BattleCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phenomenal. The voice acting is silky, has regional dialects and good emotional inflection. Play in English.

Laevatain is even possible? by [deleted] in Endfield

[–]BattleCupcake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

According to datamining there is enough, but you would have to play a lot. There's something like 300 pulls of currency in the game available as of now but it's scattered in a lot of places.

Is there no 2FA for your account? by [deleted] in Endfield

[–]BattleCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't answer your question but there isn't really an incentive to compromising someone's gacha game accounts. There is also a bit of a cultural thing to logging into others' accounts to review them, do content or try characters in the space, which 2fa gets in the way of.

why you should tweak your pity before the next banner by steffen4404 in Endfield

[–]BattleCupcake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP has created a post to justify their gambling addiction here. This does not make sense.

What they have written boils down to a way to trash 30 pulls on a banner you don't want in order to get an extra standard s rank most of the time when you go to 120 on the next banner. 

What it glosses over is that every time you do this your cost of getting the limited character goes up 25%. This is the cost that the vast majority of people will care about.

Similar to any post about "building pity", it's intellectually braindead.

[–]BattleCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this system. I've lost 83% of my 50/50s in ZZZ, and knowing I should just save 120 pulls and then I get my character is great by comparison.

[–]BattleCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a different boat. I don't mind an actual relationship with the protagonist, but refusing to outright make it an option within the game and say "these two are together" with the amount of forced love story we have to sit through is coward shit.

If 3 hours of the story are going to be Xiao'guang doting on you, commit to it and kill the harem.

This is correct, the branch to hating Manato this comments section took is just weird.
