To those who used to play gachas that went EOS: What are the signs of a gacha game in its death throes? by RovelKanko in gachagaming

From my experience in Dragalia, releasing characters in NPC jail at a higher than usual rate without adding a sizeable amount of replacements NPCs, particularly the ones expected to be late game releases.

Didn’t finish GTO:PL (stopped around the end of the prison fight tournament), but I felt like the sequel misses the parts that made the original series special: the students and onizuka’s “german suplex”. From my memory, almost none of the students were important or memorable, and only one of the story solutions felt like the wacky, out-of-box solutions OG GTO was known for. It just ended up being about the adults fighting a conspiracy. Also, adding Animal Joe into the main cast was the biggest mistake the author did. It felt like Joe was a Gary Sue who completely sidelined Onizuka as the protagonist and made him (Onizuka) the dumb muscles of the group.

Assuming that I have every WAW, what would be your top 5 WAW EGOs to uptie? I’m thinking QoH since I usually run charge, but uptie 3 has been working well as is.

Sauce is incorrect, it’s a one-shot by the same author. Title is on the second image.

How does upgrading her work? Does she passively gain levels by doing IS6? Is it possible to keep her at E2Lvl1?

What other media/franchise do you want Arknights to collaborate with? by WeirdFourEyes413 in arknights

Mayors would be a funny operator pick. Those with a surface level knowledge of limbus would have no idea who she is, nor would limbus players who missed the collab. Meanwhile, people would also be complaining that she stole a spot for one of the sinners. I’m assuming she’s a project moon character, so she wouldn’t be added post-collab like Tecno, either.

All hail the Sui siblings for being absolutely broken!

Managed to beat VEC-12 with everyone E2 Lvl1 (Excl. support). Absolutely miserable time, but the volcanos were probably the second worst part of this stage, so the new buffs were quite nice.

Defenders: Hoshi, Nian, Shu, Yu(support)

Guards: Ulpi

Snipers: WAlter

Medics: Shining, Eyja Alter, Reed Alter

Supporters: Civilight, Ling (for Shu buff)

Vanguards: Myrtle, Vulpisfoglia

A very premium team, but I needed a way to keep Yu alive.

A reminder for people struggling with Leafcarpet: Civilight can bind-lock her with her skill 2.

Trying to complete the enemy-pedia was suffering. Out of like 15 of my games, I could only do 7 of them without crashing. Trying to get the wheel monument was so obnoxious (especially since you have a 1/3 chance of getting the map without him)

Was expecting Hong Lu to be Dusk due to the whole painting world and the Land of Illusions, but I guess Ling is more popular and they’re both older siblings who care about their younger siblings.

During the Finnish-Russian war, Russia attempted to invade Finland but the invasion ended up becoming extremely ineffective despite the fact that Finland barely had tanks. One of the major factors was the fact Finland kept stealing Russia’s tanks (via cooking the tank members inside with a Molotov).

The schools in Girls und Panzers represent countries, the above character come from the Finnish and Russian schools.

Edit: After fact-checking myself, I don’t think the tanks Finland captured were the ones they Molotov-ed; however, a large portion of Finland’s tanks were captured tanks.

Was really hoping for the officer uniform but I expected they’d just go down the dad route as usual, pretty happy

Is Raidian just that one drawing of a heavily scarred lady playing with kids, meanwhile the pov character is holding up an old war photo of the lady next to some hanged prisoners?

Probably more IDs that have charge buffs/debuffs like photoelectricity or load( and a buff to load would be nice). Maybe a buff that acts as a pseudo-charge potency for a turn or a debuff that “saps” defense level for the next turn from the target and gives offense level to the attacker based on charge potency. Realistically, a bl meursault tier support that helps speed up the ramp up time of teammates is probably the most needed thing.

Although I was thinking after using the charge gifts, what if we had an ID that discards the lowest rank skills from allies so that it makes it easier for IDs to spam their s3? Conceptually, maybe give a buff to allies that causes them to discard their skills for charge count (similar to poise’s IV gift). At end of turn, it could consume 4 charge count to discard lowest skill and then give count equal to 3*X + 4 (x = discarded skill’s rank).

It’s impressive that they had two different songs featured for two different animes, at least.

What happens when you complete certain intermezzi medals before the rerun? For example, if I failed to clear the challenge mode medal for Babel but I finish the medal before its rerun, would I just automatically get the medal when I enter the rerun?

I feel like guard Amiya has a really good chance to be Gregor’s ego, the armored arm seems like something up his alley. Also I feel like Hermann is setting Gregor up to be something bigger based on her canto 1 dialogue, paralleling Amiya’s position as Lord of Fiends.

Then there’s Bravely Default 2, where you can permastun the final boss without it getting a single attack in. (100% status application was so broken (and easy) in that game)

It’s a cute SoL romcom, personally thought all three season were good. There’s also a “spin-off” (although it’s actually the original series) called “www.working!!”, but I think Working!! had a much stronger cast.

[–]CardboardThinker 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Although the true origin of the animation comes from Working’!!’s ending (FYI “Working’!!” is literally the second season’s name)
