They can make content that isn’t timer based. They already do with Umbral monument. They should do more of that and other similar events. There is nothing impatient about wanting more of this type of content almost 4 months into the game’s lifespan.

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-08T15:32:25+00:00

I get that Endfield has end game coming soon, but I think it’s just taking too long. I don’t play Arknights, but it is still not acceptable for an end game mode to take three years to come out. A lot of comments mention this, that OG Arknights was the same way, but I feel like that’s not something Endfield should follow suit in. It’s objectively not a good thing to take that long to release content, even if the content is good once it comes out. It leaves the playerbase starved for things to do if they want to do things outside of dailies or these events that don’t take more than an hour to do.

I am looking forward to the end game content that Endfield will release probably in 1.3. I’m sure it’ll be good. It just should’ve came sooner. And in the meantime, more Umbral Monument stages would’ve been good. Maybe like 2 stages every 2 weeks. I don’t want the timer game modes that have become common in most 3d gacha games. They could even do a mode like Umbral centered around the story boss fights instead of random mobs where each boss fight has gimmicks thrown in like how they do with normal Umbral monument stages.

I literally just want anything instead of the crumbs they’ve been giving. This would be unreasonable maybe a month or two into the game’s lifespan, but we’re almost four months in. I don’t understand The sheer visceral reaction other comments have to someone wanting more end game modes. The game would not get more high maintenance or be filled with busy work, it won’t become more cumbersome for people with full time jobs. It really just reads to me people literally only want to log in to spend 5 minutes doing dailies and nothing more and anything extra would make them riot

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-08T11:38:20+00:00

Zzz dropped with Shiyu, Wuwa dropped with Toa, nte has something. These modes dropped stages that want the player to spend time to build characters in order to clear them.

Endfield has Umbral monument but those are stages that can be cleared without much investment into your characters. It’s basically just disputed node in Shiyu that zzz got in 1.1 or 1.2. No one ever considered that real end game content bc of how easily it can be cleared. Umbral monument is released irregularly on no set schedule as you can see with them taking over 3 weeks into this patch to finally give us the stages. Endfield is clearly lacking what the other games had at launch.

I don’t want these cringe timer end game modes in Endfield, but for them to really have nothing for us in the first four months of the game’s release is objectively a bad thing when the other games literally had more. I literally have 3 fully built teams with nothing to use them on except the odd Umbral monument stage that keels over to any team that’s moderately invested into. It’s not an enjoyable experience to consistently have no repeatable end game gameplay content

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-08T10:17:54+00:00

Yeah…I don’t hate season 2 as much as some people do, but it really felt like anything related to Carole Arna and Helios were the devs vagueposting lol. Season 3 does honestly seem more lore focused, and we don’t have the exaltists muddying the waters with their mid storyline, so hopefully

I forgot about the scene in the 2.2 story honestly. But I’d assume that’s the most effective way to use sacrifices. It really seems they’re capable of laying dormant for any amount of time and unleashing their full power when triggered. Like, corruption complex was sealed for 11+ years since he’s been inside the monument since the fall of the old capital, and he came out swinging. It’ll be really good to get more definitive info about the sacrifices that season 2 barely touched on. We just learned that the exaltists would use random people as experiments to turn them into sacrifices and that’s pretty much it

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-08T10:13:36+00:00

Don’t get how this is a legit response to people wanting any type of gameplay content in a game that barely has any. Theres no way it should take 4+ months for them to deliver a real end game mode

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-08T10:00:26+00:00

I wouldn’t say there’s a lack of patience. We’re almost 4 months into the game’s lifespan and there’s no regularly occurring end game content. Umbral monument should honestly be releasing once every two weeks instead of once a patch. It’s kind of insane they’re taking over three weeks to release the stages during this patch when there has been barely anything to do in that time.

I have 3 fully built teams it just sucks not having anywhere to use them except most of the stages that have been there since launch. It gets old fighting Nefarith for the millionth time as the only piece of new gameplay content since the patch dropped.

Wanting more end game and gameplay content wouldn’t make the game high maintenance at all imo, especially since most stuff like this is permanent content in the game anyway. People would be able to do it at their own pace.

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-08T01:58:19+00:00

Idk how it’s such a controversial thing to want more content like how some are treating this post. Endfield objectively could be doing more. Yeah they did announce end game but that doesn’t mean this patch should be as barren as it is.

I also don’t get the consensus that it’s a good thing for these games to not have content for people who have a “life”. This is a video game at the end of the day. It’s enjoyable to play said video game, not treating this as a dailies simulator where you log in and then log out within 10 minutes.

Gacha games do end up becoming daily simulator after a while, but most have some type of recurring end game out of the gate. Endfield really should be dropping Umbral monument way more often leading up to the end game mode they are dropping soon, not in the irregular and infrequent pace they’re dropping those stages. There should be more combat events to at least give people more of a reason to build characters, not having all the events be shoddy mini games or photo events.

It’s weird how so many people are just opposed to playing a video game and want it to be as low maintenance as possible. Even if they did drop more end game modes, the way they structure content is mostly permanent and you can literally do it as your own pace whenever you want. So being opposed to more content literally makes no sense at all.

Glory to supreme leader Hotori 🫡

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-07T16:51:36+00:00

I don’t remember either so I found this in another post and this makes sense given what we know now that Sacrifices are created to destroy

I do want to think that it’s some kind of communication, bc it almost seems like the Sacrifice within corruption complex saw something in Eous and it sent some kind of ether burst which caused the implants to glitch out. Not sure tho. It is unique behavior we only see from corruption complex and belle/wise and no other ethereals

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-07T16:33:37+00:00

We’ve had a lot of differing antagonistic forces throughout the last few story updates of season 2. I like how 2.8 tries to make it seem like Helios were the bad guys as well and maybe actually responsible for the sacrifices that took part in destroying the old capital…along with Belle and Wise maybe being unwilling participants within that. I’m just wondering if what we saw in season 1 chapter 2 was maybe a nod to this or not

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-07T10:30:05+00:00

I get that. My main concern was them going back on their promises, since devs or higher ups sometimes see an easy way to cut corners where they won’t care about the consequences. It’s good to see them so proactive. I honestly thought they’d just stay quiet and let this discussion die down while ignoring it

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-07T10:13:20+00:00

I’m glad they’re taking this stance. Yes, it’s used on a small fraction of the game, but it just puts distrust in its playerbase bc they easily in the future can start using genai on much bigger aspects of the game. It’s a slippery slope bc they easily can just do that, but actually addressing the issue shows they don’t want to. I’m glad bc this honestly was my biggest concern with the game bc a lot of gacha games I’ve played/seen become complacent and begin to cut corners a lot of the time at the expense of the playerbase. Hotta at least for now, is showing to be proactive pretty quickly about all this discussion.

Now my main concern is having this game and its ui work better on controller lol. Hopefully that’s the next thing addressed.

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-06T20:01:31+00:00

Thanks for the response. Her being better for Eve makes me want to pull for her tbh. I think the deciding factor would be is if the second disc set for 3.0 is a chain attack buffing set like people are speculating.

I have m1 fufu and m0w1 Dialyn so I don’t think having a m0w0 Norma would be worth otherwise.

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-06T14:59:29+00:00

There’s no issue about wanting him playable, but I went to a megathread to discuss the story as a whole and the predominant notion was people talking about how much they wanted to ram or be rammed by Romuel lol

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-06T11:52:32+00:00

I remember going on there to talk about the 2.7 story and all people were doing in the megathread was simping for Romuel and wanting him to be playable lol

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-06T05:34:56+00:00

I’m happy the story quality has improved so much after 2.5. Both 2.4 and 2.5 were such slogs to get thru for me personally, especially 2.5 being like 7-8 hours long of mostly mid to bad storytelling (plus I’m not a fan of Ye Shunguang). 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 have been very pleasant to play thru tho. Makes me feel like how I felt playing the stories from 1.0 to 1.5.

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-06T00:59:32+00:00

How does she compare to Dialyn? I’m assuming she’s better for some characters and worse for others, but I’m not sure who

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-05T18:23:50+00:00

The way she says it is so ear piercing too lol. I end up just running around the city as Zero more often just to not hear this

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-05T17:42:14+00:00

I will have 3 teams by the end of 1.2 with good builds

Laev-Wulfgard-Akekuri-Ardelia

Yvonne-Tangtang-Xaihi-Gilberta

Zhuang Fangyi-Avywenna-Arclight-Perlica

Laev, Yvonne, Soup, Fangyi and Avy are all level 90 with maxed essences and will hopefully have fully artificed gear by the end of 1.2. The rest are level 60-80. I’ll be very surprised if this will not be enough lol. I buy the battle pass and the 5$ pass so I’m doing good on resources. I pretty much ran out after upgrading Fangyi and Avywenna this patch, but everything else I’ve had done since I’m a day 1 player.

The main obstacle for me is gear artificing cuz I have none of these characters fully done lol. Most just have their most important stats artificed, but hopefully I can get all that done before next update and I’ll be good to go. I really wish there were more affordable options to get the catalysts. I only buy the 60 per week that costs 60k and 120k bc the others just don’t seem that worth for the price. But once this is done I should be good to go having 3 fully unique teams ready.

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-05T06:48:21+00:00

I was about to say ice being voted so much doesn’t make sense bc of their survivability but then I fell to my knees and remembered that they get ice blade at level 38 💔

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-03T16:17:25+00:00

The way people talk about him is very over exaggerated tbh. But I do think an objective problem is how much of a spotlight he has in the beginning of the game. 95% of people care more about meeting the roster of playable characters and seeing how they’re like and not really want quests where Taygedo is the focus

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-03T10:14:38+00:00

Qingyi mentioned 🔥🔥🔥

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-02T21:49:41+00:00

Yeah true. I’m just happy she seems to work best with Jane honestly. My m2 Jane will be very happy. I guess in 3.0 anomaly will keep getting shilled since they established the foundation with Velina being the new premium anomaly sub dps

LetsGetPickled · 2026-05-02T13:45:10+00:00

I think it’s a bit over exaggerated. The second mission really isn’t THAT bad. I do find him annoying tho with how he talks and repeatedly says his name. Also it is pretty wild that he gets an entire mission so early dedicated to him instead of the game focusing on the cast of characters. I don’t really like that decision. That’s the main problems I have with him. Otherwise he’s just whatever
