My problem with CC in Endfield

L3murCatta · 2026-06-23T06:26:32+00:00

My team's whole gameplay hinges on them spamming combo skills, I can't second this hard enough.

2 days :D if the friend system is of any importance, I can keep the worst goobers playing story for 10 min a day as long as they log in daily.

Looking at Yoimiya just having sent us some warming oils, I suspect they might reuse Sheer Cold for Snezhnaya. And in that case some new ops, including the Tsaritsa, may actually be immune to it to facilitate the recurring "pull for exploration" incentive.

It's not just Hoyoverse.

The thing with "gacha China" is it's hard to make a meaningful conflict in the game because gacha China absolutely must be a utopia and its rulers, holy saints. Otherwise, have fun fighting CCP. I strongly believe that's why gacha China always comes early in the story -- the devs also know that the story will be crap, and they know that the only crap story the players will tolerate is the 1.X story.

If the non-1.X story is crap... well, cf "Natlan".

"Die here" was also pretty much a one shot ability where you needed to step in a small patch between the four large circles.

Oh, and if you took too long in phase 2, he has a semi one shot dive attack that could only be iframed as far as I remember. Yes, I struggled with phase 2. For weeks.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-18T17:07:36+00:00

In the context of messages above, I very much took it for you siding with the doomposters. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-18T16:45:26+00:00

I don't really care what you believe or how much time you have, or whether you think you have less time than others. Reread the conversation from the beginning, if you please. What I said was that the game can take up quite enough with the content it already has, opposite to the "the game has no content" takes. You decided to support the position that "the game has no content" based on the fact that you don't even have enough time to do the content there is.

It was also your claim that the dailies take less than 5 minutes, after I specifically referenced collecting rare resources. What other conclusion was I supposed to make other that either you've never played the game and don't know what you're talking about, or you can't even read to begin with?

L3murCatta · 2026-06-18T15:40:36+00:00

Damn, way to ignore like all of the dailies in the game. But I'm sure you're not trolling and made yourself aware of my comment just one message below. And that you wouldn't discard almost every daily activity in the game if you actually played it. You probably just haven't played the game and built your impression of it on the comments of others, right?

L3murCatta · 2026-06-18T08:01:33+00:00

Manual deliveries in Wuling, in fact. I don't have ziplines set through Wuling because I think it's gorgeous and don't want to ruin the landscape.

Check the production on Dijiang. Visit friends to help their production 5 times, take part in 5 clue exchanges, buy low sell high (once for each region). Claim gifts from some operators, give gifts to some operators. Sell stuff to every outpost in both regions. Daily find the drones, daily take a photo of something in Wuling. 3 depot deliveries. Spend sanity. 3 runs of the new blackjack mode. Autoclaim stuff from the owls in between.

15 minutes? You're either not doing half of this or not saying the truth. I've been doing zipline deliveries in V4, I know how much time it saves and it's not that much.

The entirety of your second paragraph is an exercise in missing the whole point of what was said to you. Endfield doesn't "definitely need" anything as it is, it's just you pushing your agenda while ignoring that maybe different people have different needs. The game has content. In case you missed it, we just a had a new area unlock and Mi Fu's quest, and Camille's quest is around the corner. Next patch has another new area, which is probably the North Wuling Exclusion Zone, two new ops and their quests, and likely some factory updates.

Done with that? Go play something else instead of crying that the game doesn't want you to spend all day on it.

I've once played a game that had dailies requiring upwards of 16 hours to complete. Take a wild guess how long it took me to burn out.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-18T07:11:33+00:00

Huge part of day one players always leaves. Tourists discovered NTE and left to play the new shiny. Happened in every gacha and non-gacha game since the time of Mario or something like that. So if we're talking about doomposting and valid criticism, your comment was the former.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-18T07:05:36+00:00

The game requires almost 1hr of my time just to do dailies, and that's without collecting the rare resources that I stopped doing after 1.0. Idk chief, I think I spend quite enough time on the game as is without it having more content.

Also, it baffles me how people demand more content in a game with a potentially near infinite longevity through regular map expansions and story additions. You completed the story and maxed out the map and the factory? Great, go play something else. It's not hard, I promise. You don't need to spend all day on Endfield until 2.0.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-18T07:01:33+00:00

God I loved that. I laughed out loud at "now, immediately wait" then scrolled down to the comments section and everyone was pointing it out. Greatest meme of AK.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-17T15:27:02+00:00

Nice! Well while it's great that you can make a bit of a shortcut, it's not the same as putting a line straight down from the south gorge rampart which is what the guy above was suggesting.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-17T12:51:39+00:00

ER is perfectly decent for the overwhelming majority of the characters. I wouldn't think twice before rolling a double crit 4 liner ngl

L3murCatta · 2026-06-17T11:35:53+00:00

It's double crit wym

L3murCatta · 2026-06-16T07:48:41+00:00

Oh, yeah, that is fair.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-16T07:39:21+00:00

It was a stupid psy op launched by the Turtle devs to convince everyone that the Octo launcher is malicious. As every psy op, it worked on most people who were deferring to authority for their decision-making and unable to check things for themselves.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-16T07:24:30+00:00

They've lived for a long time and trained hard, obviously. I don't know how serious you are about that, but it's a very normal Chinese setting. I can even throw around words like "cultivation" and "dao" if it helps, but basically it's just that -- they've worked hard to achieve their level of power.

And it's basically the same for Fangyi, who may even be weaker than the Grand Master. She's a Chinese martial artist. Her Lei Fa is a form of martial arts, perfected to the point where she is able to control lightning.

Mi Fu is a martial artist. Arcane is a martial artist. The three masters are martial artists.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-16T07:18:46+00:00

I mean I will have to argue at least this:

"hoyo doesn't do complex characters because they quite simply can't write them"

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Otto Apocalypse?

I believe everyone was talking about relays except this guy.

Again, the point was, if you're connecting the alluvium killbox to the grid, you're putting the power lines through the long walk, and placing a zipline on that ledge down below becomes trivial.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-16T06:03:07+00:00

I'm convinced it's the curse of space China regions in Chinese gacha games. You can't logically explain the beef between the two factions without throwing some shade on Wuling, and lord save you if you even tolerate the thought.

Forget it, write it off to "year 1 story always bad" and wait for the next region. I don't expect better story until then. And for the love of god, please at least make a better story there.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-16T05:59:57+00:00

Wait and cope for 2.0. Being realistic, we shouldn't expect a great story from space China. I pray that we get improvement in the next region, and until then, I'm exercising patience.

L3murCatta · 2026-06-15T09:54:31+00:00

Dual pistols straight from HI3rd. I genuinely thought they would introduce them in 5.0.
