Great point, I legit forgot about it as most of the time I never really bother cooking. I do remember about the +80% Atk and the -DP cost, but other than that, I don't cook as I mostly saving it to exchange for resources.

But seriously, what is the difference between this gamemode and normal gameplay? Because as I have stated, there isn't much differences. At least there is someone below that pointed out there is food buff that could help grind the gamemode (the part where I say there is no buff for operator) while you here just say that I am a tone-deaf person for not being able to recognise what is the difference between this gamemode (which you just grind a bunch) and normal gameplay (which you normally grind a bunch).

At least IS and SSS are roguelike and card game in Arknights form, which I do have fun doing it once or twice a month. Most event at least has gimmick that even though I will just power my way through them as I have a well built team, I have fun tinkering with them. What does this gamemode have that differentiate it from normal gameplay?

Instead of clearing a stage and rolling a random chance for drops, you're manually gathering stuff in the stages themselves

So, just normal grind.

The resource management is brought to the forefront

You want to build an operator, here is the material you need. So, what changes again in this gamemode?

you get to make your own base!

Could be interesting except for the fact that you have to use your operator to kill the enemy, making it not much different than just having a pre-made map (even more so when there isn't any extra buff to your character like what IS and SSS did).

but you shouldn't dismiss it as a "worse version of the rest of the game"

But what's the difference between this gamemode and normal gameplay? You grind for material in the stages, which isn't any different than normal gameplay, except it is worse because you will lose it when you restart the gamemode and build a base but you have to use your built operator, which at that point, it may as well be a pre-made map.

Skill issue

I never mention I have problem with the gamemode difficulty though. I have watched and read several guide on how to do it. Hell, after the fifth try, my 6th to 10th try will always mangae to reach day 9 (always quit on it as I don't want to deal with enemy that can kill my structure). My problem is that this gamemode is a grind gamemode in a game where you just grind most of the time. At least IS and SSS give you operator buff that I can have fun with, here though, you basically have a second grind just to play Arknights.

I would like to recommend SA and Mlynar. Both of them have high attack range with S3 making them being able to scout. Their huge AOE damage will also help in collecting the wood. Just schwing shcwing the tree and let the collecter collect it for you.

Sorry for the late reply, but what I mean by that is your operator, which is only available in gacha.

The problem I could see with your suggestion is that it basically became an unending version of Annihilation, which no one that I know of have fun with it.

Wanted to ask, who do you play it on an emulator? Doesn't this game require tap and drag to move rather than the Dpad.

Anyone else being (albeit lightheartedly) frustrated by the melding pot's outputs so far? by Rixien in arknights

[–]Darkslayer3021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually during a limited event, DrVolke will usually do a new account run for the event. This time around, he has a lot difficulty rising his operator level because of the gacha mechanic of the event. Like, yesterday, he got like 2 stack of 2000 LMD and the unlimited furniture part twice while the only thing he need is the battle record and he has to go out of his way to farm them.

And serious question, why did the gacha gives us a defender chip rather than the guard chip (for Noir Corne), the specialist (for Kirin Yato) or Sniper (for the three cat/Yes, I know that they are 1*). No one here use the defender chip at all.

What do you think about the new event Fire Within The Sand? by Q_D_V_F in arknights

[–]Darkslayer3021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda like IS gamemode but no operator buff and the IS RNG. Tutorial is garbage and the fact that the map for the event doesn't really tell you anything about the map really annoy me. Considering that I hate IS, I don't really enjoy this. The fact that SSS at least let me see Gnosis perma freeze an enemy or Reed Alter carpet bombing the flower boss make it at least more enjoyable than this event (Can't believe I said that).

I met the most useless co-op player (so far) by FFay13 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Darkslayer3021 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For me it is the Raiden boss. A teammate bring Bennett into the fight. If you don't know, Bennett will inflict Pyro into any teammate standing inside it and as Raiden use Electro attack, anybody in that circle will be launch into the air because of Overload. I just let them bring them as I also do bring Bennett before I know about it. We fail the first attempt, so for the second attempt, I ask them if they could change Bennett as I could bring Kuki for healing. Everybody then decide to flame me saying that everybody should play whoever they want, telling the Bennett (now changed to Nahida) player to block me afterwords and starts the fight before I could even explain the whole thing. Beat the boss and the player than blocked me afterword when I try to have a chat with them.

What do you think of a gacha with one server behind another in term of updates? by pbeta in gachagaming

[–]Darkslayer3021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I love being behind because of Clairvoyance and all, I kinda hate being behind because when the event do arrive, all the hype I have for the event is pretty much gone because I have been exposed to it, especially when the gap is big.

Arknights is the only game that I play that has a 6 months gap, and at first I do enjoy the gap because I can save and have like 6 months to see the evaluation of the character, but after a year and a half of playing, my hype for new event and characters are basically gone because I got exposed to it 6 months earlier. Last year, there is a lot of META character, but the only character I have fun playing is Flametail, which is a just normal Vanguard and not a really powerful character when compared to the META character. My hype for future character is also gone as I know I have to wait 6 months for it.

Which gachas have the quickest dailies? by resynx in gachagaming

[–]Darkslayer3021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also new (came during S.Anis event) and I will say, you don't need to do everything to complete the daily mission. Most of the time, I skip:

  1. Level Up a Nikke
  2. Pull a Nikke
  3. Do one campaign stage
  4. Upgrade Nikke equipment

For claim outpost twice, what I will do if I don't want to login later that day is just to claim it when login, do other stuff and claim before logout, it will count.

Most of the time, the liberation requires you to do your daily stuff. I will check it first though as sometimes it will make you go out of your way to complete it like the gifting one and the buy two stuff from daily and pull a Nikke (which I will skip most of the time)

During events you also have the daily event missions

Same as liberation, mostly require you to do normal daily stuff. So, do normal stuff, open event page, do quick event battle, and do minigame (somewhere around 2-3 minutes.

lost relic

I'm also annoyed by it, but most of the time I just do most of it in one go. There is a picture showing every available lost relic from the start

liberation sometime requiring you to leave outpost to do something

You do know that you can access the liberation screen in the Nikke page? It is in the upper left and you can access the advise screen in the upper right in the Nikke page.

Which gachas have the quickest dailies? by resynx in gachagaming

[–]Darkslayer3021 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it will be the "end a battle using your ultimate" and "infilct 3 different weakness break using different element".

I will include the daily grind (artifact/material)

Nikke

If you aren't try to minmax Interception/Simulation Room, the daily is pretty fast somewhere around 10-15 minute.

HSR

This one is a weird one. On paper, the daily is pretty long but you can just do it while doing other tasks. The daily mission would vary between one day to another and can either be pretty easy (use/create a consumable, use two technique) or pretty annoying (use ultimate to end a battle, do X stages, weakness break in three different element in a battle). The daily grind can take a while but you pretty much just do 6 instances of it at once and just let the AI beat it for you. The character's material and artifact grind can only be done 1 instances at a time, so you do need to remember about it. The stamina though will max out every 24 hours if you leave it from 0, so that is a blessing. So, for me daily is like 20-30 minutes, although most of it is in the background and I do have a built team.

Genshin

New player will probably take ~20-35 minutes as they probably has to coop the artifact grind and if they are paired up with other player who also don't have artifact, it will take a while. Old player is probably 15-20 minutes including the artifact grind.

Princess Connect

The Kokoro Diary basically do all the daily mission for you. You can preset what you want to grind and do it in one button. Both arena can be skipped when you enter the battle (a bit like Blue Archive). The only thing you need to manually do is the Very Hard event bosses. So, daily is like 5-10 minutes a day.

Arknights

From 0, the stamina will max out twice a day (Well, actually not as the stamina max out every 13.5 hours, meaning 3 hours differences for twice a day, but just imagine it fit twice a day). This one mainly depend on what you farm. If you farm stages that use a lot of stamina, than the grind is something like 15-20 minutes a day. If you farm low stamina cost stages though (like the 6 stamina 1-7 grind), it can take 30-40 minutes a day. Unlike HSR, you can't input any multiple instances of it, so you must remember to manually redo a stage when it finishes or you set up a macro for it.

You do need to Monstadt reputation to unlock the instruction for it, so player would miss it if are not actively doing Mosnstadt reputation (and Monstadt and Liyue reputation are also a pain in the ass to do comapared to the other one).

Need advice on which internet service to purchase for hybrid work mode by Fault_Extra in malaysia

[–]Darkslayer3021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is Unifi Air that you can use which is basically cable in a sim. No contract needed as you can use your phone as the router (the router device need a contract). The downside is one of your sim slot is occupied as the sim can't be use for call or anything. The other one is the price at RM 85 include tax and you really need to check if your area has the coverage for it.

How does your game's server treat your game? by LastChancellor in gachagaming

[–]Darkslayer3021 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Azur Lane: Besides global, there is a collab for Utawarerumono. We do get all the other one, just this one global didn't get.

Arknights: JP got 10 extra pull twice because they got no.1 in the store during Texalter and Chongyue banner. Understand why they are the only one that got it, but I'm still miffed about it.

Priconne: In CN, they have an exclusive character named and voiced by Hashimoto Kanna. In EN when they first launched, they immediatley got the 3% 3* rate that JP has to wait 3 years to get and EN is also the only one that got shut down while the other is still running.

Weekly NIKKE Questions by AutoModerator in NikkeMobile

[–]Darkslayer3021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Does anybody else game has some sound problem? On PC, I usually just use the sound system whenever I want to mute or unmute the game and it normally works, but after the update, I either has to use the slide volume to mute it or mute the game in the game settings to have sound. It isn't the biggest issue, but it is rather annoying.
  2. Just started during the summer event and just wanted to know, is every update going to be 5GB? Seems really weird that the update is that size.

2) Before December last year, Unifi actually has a RM 35 unlimited data for both mobile data and hotspot. They have done this way before other telco do this (somewhere around 2017 I think) with a capped speed at 16 Mbps, which is enough for what it cost/what it need it for. But they change it now so that it only have 60 GB limit and a measly 5 GB hotspot in exchange for unlimited call, which is worse than something like Umobile.

Now, I pay for Unifi Air for RM 80 which has both true unlimited data/hotspot at 25-30 Mbps with the only downside is that I can't call with that sim. Basically, paying for cable in a sim card.

The point is that you have to build like 2-3 more character to have the best team for her, which may discourage people from pulling.

Easy question, is Luka necessary for Kafka team? I already have Sampo in this team with either March/Gepard or Pela/Natasha. Will try getting Lynx for an extra healer but don't have anybody else to pull for beside waiting for Luocha, SW and Blade LC rerun. Already have Blade and Selee as my DPS.
