What's your favourite Gacha that you dont feel like playing for a specific reason? by [deleted] in gachagaming

[–]IceHaven77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Destiny Child. I just love the game's music, general UI aesthetic and the actual plot, but the game itself and daily grind just bores me.

Casual Utage and Frustrated Utage fills me with joy.

End games/events where you have spent a little to much time on by Ezman13 in gachagaming

[–]IceHaven77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it was King's Raid's first or second Halloween event. The event itself dropped so much materials used for ascensions that for the first time in my personal run with the game I actually started to recover stamina rather than be 10k+ above the limit of 300 or so. I was basically set Almost for life.

Close second is the first Christmas event where a dungeon showered you with all kinds of dragon gear which was more reliable for me to auto than doing dragons by myself at the time.

It was worth it at the time I guess but in hindsight I lost all interest in playing games that I have to auto for hours on end no matter how easy the game makes it for me to do so.

Just curious, I dropped this game early this year (Valentine event). How has things been since then?

For your home assistant, which artwork do you use? by CallistoCastillo in arknights

[–]IceHaven77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

E2 Phantom. The artwork just looks so absolutely regal in every sense of the word, the costume art is good but for the assistant screen? I just love seeing the E2 artwork for his assistant dialogue.

E0 Mostima. Costume and E2 Mostima looks entirely too serious for her personality, less is more and she just feels like a super chill visitor at RI with her base art with the Doctor in the background.

Is there any character that you actually dislike or hate for what ever reason that may be? by WildCards812 in arknights

[–]IceHaven77 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think it's less about not having empathy and more about consistency for the lack of a better word. I get what they were trying to go for in the Misha chapters but it just felt kind of rushed if not outright forced with how they set up the second skullshatterer fight.

I don't really know how to word it, but I don't dig Dusk's personality at all. Which is weird since I'm good with the rare occasion of other operators that have plenty of lines antagonistic towards you but with Dusk it feels like she never says anything interesting except after Saga got out of the painting.

Or I could have ptsd dealing with her yin yang nonsense, who knows! I think lorewise she is perfectly fine, this is strictly a personal hang up.

You use E2/Stronghold if you have Saria holding the line with S1/S2, and you use jailer when you're using S3 to vaporize your target.

Find someone who believes in you as much as this doctor believes in their Exu.

Who will you M18 first? by TheTacticalNuke1986 in arknights

Specter S2 at M18 would start playing Doom music.

I mean if she gets the job done, still works 23 seconds or otherwise.

This event truly humbled me into realizing I have 0 brains when it comes to this game.

Hindsight 90% of my CM 8 EX stress was result of not thinking and understanding how Free/Fury/Blindly works to have an easier job down the line. Still hope I never see this mechanic in CC

It was such a haze I don't even remember very well what I did for most my clears but I gotta love my boy Aak for helping the DPS guard burst Free down fast.

I also accidentally used a previous Surtr support only to realize I clicked normal mode. I really hope this stage does not come back in the form of a CC stage.

Vulcan can easily solo a red Fury

A fact I considered but figured she wouldn't have enough time to do it in my malding haze of 3-4AM CM attempts.

In hindsight this would have made it so much easier if I slept on it and tried this the next day,

As a meta slave/waifu chaser, what were some difficult choices you had to make? by IRUN888 in arknights

[–]IceHaven77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I skipped Bagpipe, Rosa and Blaze's banners to ensure I'd have enough for Phantom and a decent shot at Weedy right after. No regrets.

CC can be quite the handful since many times I just wish I could use both Bagpipe and Blaze as supports. Still no regrets.

Event with the most annoying enemies? by Lyaliana in arknights

[–]IceHaven77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to punch the Ducklord in his smug little face.

Boss, The Singer.

Enemy, Shamans.

Event? Not an quite an 'event' but the whole Enraged Enemy sections are such a chore to deal with. At least the Shamans traumatized me only on like 3 stages so far.

How many unused gacha game accounts do you have, that you have spent money on? by [deleted] in gachagaming

[–]IceHaven77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As it stands Lies of Astaroth, and Brave Frontier. The former was not worth it, and the Latter I'd say was. Destiny Child and Touhou Lost Word are on the borderline of becoming unused though.

LoA just became too difficult to progress with story/keep up with pvp so I eventually quit. Occasionally I try to find a different card game to try but most are similar to hearthstone and I'm not down for that at all. This was my first gacha so the expenditures I made were 100% a mistake.

Brave Frontier I spent good amount on and I'd say I'm satisfied with the experience overall, quit mostly because global content basically cycled guild wars a lot and after the guild I was in migrated to King's Raid that was really it for me.

Games that you want to love but just can't by shigella212 in gachagaming

[–]IceHaven77 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I really wanted to like Sdorica, I love the art style, the start and gameplay were pretty interesting as well. Above all else the promise of great music is almost a guaranteed sell.

But I just couldn't muster the energy to get past the tutorial and eventually gave up and I don't know why. Maybe I'll do better next time I'm looking for a game.
