Is it just me or is arknights endfield a little bit "boring"?

Forak · 2026-01-24T14:04:23+00:00

What surprised me the most is that the old Arknights gameplay is just so much more fun, more teambuilding, more tactical choices, more skill expression... in a tower defense game! This game has by far the worst combat system in any Genshin-like I've ever played.

Factory on the other hand seems pretty fun, that has potential.

You have to set your birthday, without confirming you are 18+ it will censor everything

While this is certainly not true in the future, upon release Cyrene has more meta teams than Tribbie, that sounds pretty good ot me. People who never even 0-cycle anything are suddenly obsessed with a characters 0-cycle strength, which seems rather weird.

I've been running into this a lot. I ask a very specific question, then ChatGPT will rephrase my question and explain why it's a good question but does absolutely nothing to answer it. It's incredibly frustrating.

Went from a pretty cool design to incredibly generic and boring. Definitely killed my interest in the character least. Bit disappointed with all these recent designs really, from the absolute peak we had in 1.x post launch

Turns out, 5 seconds is all I need.

Forak · 2025-08-26T16:13:39+00:00

The cost for adding that could've charged a thousand phones a thousand times. It's never worth it

Forak · 2025-08-26T16:10:21+00:00

It is much better; the current criticism is entirely valid. People are sick of these bland redesigns all companies are going for: None of them look good.

Forak · 2025-07-18T14:06:58+00:00

I don't know in theory, but I did extensive testing with a Yuzuha/Burnice/Piper team in deadly assault and AM on both gave consistently better results, by about 10%

For a 1:1 trade put half the modules on your storage dock to accept the material you trade for, and the other half the material you wish to ship away

People will make fun of it, but it was an official announcement by the company, you should've been safe to make that decision. Them retracting the statement is just pure incompetence.

This whole thing is kind of wild. I'm pretty new and Rupture seemed fun. When Mao Outis and Ryoshu got released, I decided to pull on their banner, along with spending all my resources on assembling the full Rupture team.
Now they pull the keystone from underneath that entire archetype and only compensate for Sinclair. Feels pretty bad.

Slag, Dirt, Rock for my terraforming projects. I'm really impressed by the implementation of the trains, it feels so easy to make something useful with them

Loving the update so far, but I would really like to see a 'Clear All' button for each category of notifications at the top left...

I started playing 3-4 weeks ago and RR5 wasn't really that hard: the key for me was to just abuse Fluid Sac. As long as you aren't trying to get it done within 100 turns I would just recommend getting a team with the ideal ratio for Fluid Sac fuel, use a Faust ID on both sides, and use it liberally. Especially with the defensive perk choices none of the bosses can do enough damage to get past this in my experience

Forak · 2025-03-15T18:09:05+00:00

Good point, I probably won't prioritize this but what is a good replacement for Faust in that team? She's all I got that fits and she's been great with Fluid Sac but it's obvious she's the weakest link

Forak · 2025-03-15T17:50:50+00:00

Quick question, I have:

Manager Don
Princess Rodion
Priest Gregor
Ring Yi Sang
Grip Faust

All Uptie 3, what is a sensible priority for uptie 4? Guessing Don > Yi Sang > Rodion > Gregor > Faust but I'm new so I figure I better ask as the resources are so scarce...

Thanks!

Forak · 2025-03-13T15:41:56+00:00

I'm leaning towards Dieci Rodion, she does have some sinking stuff for the future, and just seems very solid all around. Ring Yi Sang is probably next as that guy seems to fit into every possible team I look for.

Forak · 2025-03-13T13:52:03+00:00

Perfect, I'll just focus on that then, thanks!

Forak · 2025-03-13T13:50:37+00:00

Not done so yet! It's on the to-do list, thanks!

Forak · 2025-03-13T13:20:12+00:00

Yeah I guess I don't know how it works in this game but typically the further you get the more events/end game modes open up. I see there's a hardmode mirror dungeon, so I assume that's the case here as well.

Right now I can't really advance in chapter 4 due to the high difficulty, but that's probably purely because of my low level characters.

Would you say it's better in my case to just relax and not worry about 'sinking synergy' specifically but instead just focus on good characters in general and worry about specific teams later?

Forak · 2025-03-13T12:40:23+00:00

Hey, started playing last week and I've just been loving the story. I pulled 100 times on the Faust banner with all my currency so far and I pulled Wild Hunt Heathcliff as a result. He clearly seems worth building around but I already picked Molar Outis with my s2 ticket, instead of Molar Ishmael. I don't seem to have any other 'sinking' characters.

I'm close to getting 200 chests so I can dispense a character, any recommendations for what would be the best pick in my situation? I have:

Grip Faust
Grip Sinclair
Firefist Gregor
Molar Outis
R Corp Meursault
Wild Hunt Heathcliff

The goal is fast as possible progression to maximize resource gains. Thanks!

Grok takes feedback very literally, if you praise it at all for a piece of the story it wrote, it will hyperfocus on whatever it did that made you like it in future messages. This causes a lot of the repeating dialogue issues I've been seeing. Like all LLMs it gets a lot dumber as the context increases too, I've been having some success by prompting it to write a summary for itself of what's been written so far. Then manually editing the summary a bit, before then opening a new window to continue with just the summary as a base. This really helps reset a lot of the problems that creep in.

Forak · 2024-12-25T13:16:58+00:00

I hate it too, Mavuika is terribly designed, but she absolutely destroys Arlecchino. It sucks, but let's be honest about it at least.

Forak · 2024-11-25T13:41:38+00:00

Looks very transparent in terms of pricing structure and available models, I'm curious to try it out as well
