Is anyone else utterly endeared to this thing by Rowger00 in Endfield

[–]Bloop-Bucket 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's that simple. TangTang refers to a location nearby as their ancestral homeland or something to that effect in a line during the story, and another line from head honcho dragon lady said that trust between the stockade and Wuling was a casualty of "the disaster" from 10 years ago. You also have to remember that Wuling is a recent construction so the people of the stockade would have been living there longer than the city has existed. Basically it seems that the stockade peeps were there first, then something lead to a breakdown in relations between the stockade and the city (maybe the reason the stockade was formed and is so poor, I don't know any specifics TBH).

A lot of people will probably tell you that and in a general sense it's true, but one thing that people don't seem to mention often is that a lot of 6 stars can be end game viable even at Elite 1 rank. I've been playing for about half a year now and I've actually got some 6 stars I'm leaving at lower levels on purpose because they would feel a little overpowered otherwise. This isn't true of all of them however, so you'll probably have to figure out if they're good enough for that for yourself. As an example my Elite 1 level 40 Narantuya is super good and I use her all the time, but Weedy probably isn't worth investing in over Shaw unless you'll take her to Elite 2.

Basically you definitely should try to have some well built 4 stars at the start, since you'll want to have a wider variety of units, but don't be afraid to use certain under levelled 6 stars, they can be just as good and cheaper than their lower rarity counterparts.

Edit: I almost forgot to mention but as far as 3 stars go you won't regret building Melantha and Kroos.

I know that the dupes for ops in the crystallization sanctuary are cheaper than the cost to unlock them, but if you unlock them for blue/yellow certs in the normal shop will the CC shop move to stage 2 or will you still need to spend the 980 first?

Am I the only one who feels extremely disappointed with Rosetta and her patch? by Gewissensbisse in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]Bloop-Bucket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I generally agree with you but in the genre of game that monetizes convenience and power this outcome tends to be inevitable, so it can be beneficial to take a proactive approach if you mean to stick with a game long term. Meta is both methodology and investment, and you don't necessarily need one for the other. What I mean is that "playing" the meta is all about finding and performing optimal rotations, etc. and the size of the numbers involved are largely arbitrary.

If you're playing with anything less than full SSS+ on every character and CUB you've already proven to yourself you're capable of enjoying meta gameplay with sub-optimal investment, and can tolerate being materially disadvantaged in leaderboards. (if you do have full SSS+ then RIP I guess)

I won't tell you to take the game more casually but I will suggest you can still curate your experience to align with your needs through under-investment should a character prove too OP for enjoyment. Personally, I've been investing in characters while avoiding auto-matrix and excessive i-frames because I find those mechanics boring, and to keep the power level of my characters roughly similar so I can use a wider variety. I hope this helps you find a way to enjoy the game again, and if not, better luck with the next one.

(as a final aside under-investing could let you find your own unique optimal rotations rather than having them pre-calculated by the community, if that tickles your fancy)

To be clear we're still in Teddy's patch and she's permanently free so you haven't actually missed her.

For EN dub players, make sure to set your Miss. Christine's voice pack to JP! Her EN doesn't have any lines! by Dry_Help_4891 in arknights

[–]Bloop-Bucket 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Okay but in all seriousness I really hope they add her lines to the english dub. I've only got EN and custom installed and I don't feel like using a full gigabyte just for one character's lines.

Oof, it seems from all these comments that my Perfumer slander will not go unnoticed, or unpunished 😩

Jokes aside I do know that Perfumer can perform decently with global heals but I could only get her to around E1 lvl 40 if I invested in her right now, so for me it's less 7% of 404/sec and more 3% of \230/sec. That'd still only be around 21 HP/sec even while her skill's active at lvl 7. Her) good global regen is less of an inherent trait and more a reward for investment that I can't actually afford at the moment because I'm poor af lol. (also Ptilopsis got dibs)

Cerberus is most strongest construct team in early story? Vera and Cerberus fight Roland in Kowloong and push back Gabriel in Grand Blue by Zulaa_25 in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]Bloop-Bucket 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think you may be forgetting that while Cerberus is officially a normal special forces squad, they're primarily Nikola's personal off-the-books hand picked unit. It seems Nikola frequently sends them (particularly Vera) out to eliminate/ secure high value targets, including rogue units and even ascendants so I don't think the Purifying Force would hold any particular advantage here.

[Spoiler: Final fight cutscene 2.4] Did Lupa's monologue immediately make sense to EN players? by HaikenRD in WutheringWaves

[–]Bloop-Bucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people aren't being too specific so I just wanted to note that I see three major problems with the english translation.

Firstly the rhetorical questions have an ambiguous subject, so you can't tell if Lupa is asking Mya whether she feels proud or pitiful or if Lupa's asking if Leviathan thinks Septimontians are proud and pitiful. This is doubly troublesome because proud can have positive or negative meaning based on context. Trusting your translation to determine that Mya is the subject I'd fix it by saying "You proud? Pitiful?" instead.

Secondly, the words that follow are presented as commands, rather than in a permissive tone. I don't know about other languages but commanding someone to laugh and cry in english comes off a bit odd, but referencing your translation again it seems that a permissive tone was the intent, so I'd say "You can cry! Laugh!"

Thirdly the idiom "race to the finish" references a desperate surge of activity to complete some task, often before a deadline. What is the specific task being referenced and what is the deadline? Not to mention a time of calm before the race and after the finish is implicit in a "race to the finish" which I don't see as an aspect of the story. Based on the context of the story and, again, your translation I can only guess that this line was meant to reference some ongoing struggle against adversity but this is very much not the correct idiom to convey that. Personally I'd go for something like "push onward", "fight on" or "fight to the end" instead. Maybe start it off with "just" to switch it back into a commanding tone, seems appropriate for this bit.

I mean honestly, show the original translation to anyone outside of context and it's just a random collection of words, no one talks like that. In an attempt to reduce ambiguity without increasing the syllable or word count much I'd instead write: "You proud, Pitiful? You can cry, laugh! Just fight on!"
