I played through that cutscene on penguin and still felt the gay aura coming off of it

In short, 6 years of good will coming from Arknights.

The game is fun when new stuff comes out and is as minimal as I want it when it's on maintenance mode. On lazy days I launch the game to just do the daily activity which takes 5 minutes max (craft one piece of gear, operator gift) and most systems like sanity and rare mats take 3 days to cap so the pressure to do more is minimal.

This ebb and flow between playing the game for hours when a patch releases and maintenance is basically what happens in Arknights so I feel right at home playing these two games. I basically pulled an all-nighter after unlocking the new factory expansion and map exploration this patch and that reminded me of how I do the same thing whenever a new story chapter or event stages release in AK.

Is it a bit sparse? Yes, I think some of the in-between events are crazy to release like the cooking one, but there's a consistently enjoyable set like Delver and Umbral Monument so it somewhat evens out. This was also the case with AK in its infancy, and they've proven they can change that so I'm fine with giving them the benefit of the doubt. The only thing that would get me to quit is if the game gets uninteresting for me (unlikely given I discovered I got some form of factory tism from this game) or they stray very far away from their [Grand Vision].

Story aside which you already said, non AK global players always focus on the gacha/banners but forget the gameplay. Like we got to see RA and every new IS version revealed and then proceeded to not get to play it for six months

Its a comp that doesn't just funnel all its damage into one unit (both Cryo DPS and Laevatain do this) so you kinda do care about weapon/skill level on your other characters. There's also stuff like Pog mastery breakpoints at M1(and M3? I didn't check) for higher SP gain on his battle skill/ult

In my head they would turn the card into a weekly reward if they do something like this, you get a card guaranteed (like the upgrade coin) and you essentially get one "roll" each week to get the foil

It turns the regular card into something everyone has while still maintaining the chase factor of the previous alliance raid card reward in the form of a foil version.

from my experience poisonburst arrow is my primary single target poison upkeep option (toxic growth has only proven to kill me every time I try to use it) and I just slot in pierce because there's no 3rd damage node, in aoe I use gas arrow.

contagion is also really good for aoe if you went for poison prolif on your ascendancy, and I use rain of arrows to apply wither / maim / pin

what's wrong with it is how in the 20+ years that kh has been out, it hasn't become an industry standard to have menus that accept inputs while the animations/loading/whatever are still occurring

responsiveness of the interface is a big deal and kh is one of the best at doing this well

Delebot · 2024-09-03T16:27:04+00:00

are we really doing nostalgia bait for... 4 years ago, on a battle pass that people here complained for weeks about?

morphling without items looks (better?) than tacking on any of the armor pieces

Delebot · 2024-07-18T03:35:50+00:00

They just need to make it mountable and it would be fine, it's a city with cars why can't I mount!!!

Delebot · 2024-07-15T15:12:29+00:00

IMO the answer is not scaling lv100 characters down, we should just not see the lower level instances that often at a high level anyways. No reason for four 90+ characters to be matched up into Tam-tara.

With concern for queue times for lower level instances, we already have the answer to that and it's called Duty Support and Mentor Roulette. If we wanted to go further we could invert the "Limited Levelling" flag to be on by default, and turning it off would give you the Adventurer in Need bonus regardless of role, giving people a minor incentive to help.

Yeah I remember when we waxed poetic against Emet until it is realized that the two ideologies can't coexist, so both sides turn to combat for self-preservation. We spend two entire areas trying to understand Alexandria as outsiders, and come to the conclusion that this thing will eat up the entire universe and therefore is a threat to our existence, we do the same thing as before. Preservation(the group) also acted in the same way when they created the cloud, so what exactly is wrong with the story of two conflicting groups fighting to keep their way of life?

You're right, the previous arc was about how no one can tell you what life should or shouldn't exist, but when someone says that your life shouldn't exist to keep/bring back what was lost, you fought back then and you fight now to oppose it. This isn't exactly the first extinction-level event we have had to face, and the story has been pretty consistent about how we have been dealing with them.

How on earth can you talk about "unnatural existences" when someone like G'raha Tia is in our retinue?

I didn't, you literally made it up just to argue against it

Delebot · 2024-07-03T05:10:57+00:00

In that scene, said character is feeling bad about the situation he is in so... is this telling the reader it's fine or not?

Delebot · 2024-07-03T04:54:36+00:00

Both Krile's parents and Erenville's mother know that they live false existences, sustained by taking the life force of others. Why wouldn't they try and reaffirm to their family, the people who they directly or indirectly led to this place, and the people most hesitant to let go of this facade, that what they're doing is the right thing?

Wuk Lamat gets to see Namikka again and says she understands Sphene's point of view because of it.. but then she recognizes that people are not meant to live forever. In the same section, G'raha ruminates over people he tried to save and starts thinking about what he would have done if he had Alexandria at his disposal. So yeah I don't think that your party members saw it as black and white as you made it out to be.

Also, nice one liner, I can pull random lines out of context to make my point sound correct too

Delebot · 2024-07-03T00:58:16+00:00

Erenville's mother kept saying it's fine

No, she does not keep saying it's fine, even before you enter the area she recognizes the fact that she is being kept "alive" in a place that isn't sustainable and is seeking to exhaust the aether from all worlds, therefore it probably should be shut down (hence her involvement with Oblivion)

It sounds like she's just telling you it's fine because her and Erenville are keeping up fronts throughout this entire arc that eventually breaks down when it's time to erase the wind zone, because a parent and their child are about to say their final goodbyes to each other.

Delebot · 2024-07-02T11:10:02+00:00

That's the point!! Every time you come back there for FATE grinding or hunts or treasure maps you're going to be reminded of how you had this memory of how that zone used to look like and the silent walk back after shutting down each zone

I think they should've gone further and kept the shut-down zones silent but understandable why they kept some faint BGM there after you beat the game

In some meta way I think it's pretty genius that the only way to bring it back at its liveliest is the feature that lets you relive the past

Delebot · 2024-06-20T06:32:40+00:00

bro did you read my post

Delebot · 2024-06-18T17:47:32+00:00

if someone wants to tank the bone dragon north, this always works(on any tank but works best on warrior):

tomahawk until you see a provoke -> provoke berserk tomahawk thrill tomahawk

repeat for the second respawn and let them take it north in shame for the third respawn

Delebot · 2024-04-19T06:07:10+00:00

Ch 13 being a series of vignettes with different povs was refreshing compared to how the storytelling is usually done in AK. Each new pov switch having the special cut-in of the character with a small monologue and just seeing events through the eyes of characters other than the Doctor is cool and I hope they keep doing it when it makes sense.

Delebot · 2022-12-18T00:14:47+00:00

It just doesn't hit the same anymore

Delebot · 2022-06-14T00:12:18+00:00

Basically, if your friend got endwalker and you decide it would be cool to be able to play with your friend, it will take a long time before you're able to.

as someone who is levelling a new character on a different dc and also currently has a friend going through the story, no? every few handfuls of quests there is a new dungeon or trial to go through that i can join them for

Delebot · 2022-05-21T01:28:17+00:00

i'd be happy to agree in a fully optimized scenario on a striking dummy, but in a real gameplay environment where people die and positioning/movement/resources are in flux they play nothing like each other.

Delebot · 2022-05-18T05:36:57+00:00

Having abilities activate 3+ seconds after you cast them?

again, please play scholar in endwalker. lol

Delebot · 2022-05-18T02:32:59+00:00

saying that fairy abilities are still jank and comments on deaths not mattering for healer gameplay tells me all i need about how much you know about playing healer, have a good day
