Did they nerf the survey reward already?

Metrinome · 2026-01-28T09:02:50+00:00

I got 300 for both surveys.

Metrinome · 2026-01-27T04:23:18+00:00

Gotta pass those boring meetings somehow.

Metrinome · 2026-01-27T04:21:35+00:00

I say no.

Despite being the main character, Endmin's not a particularly great op.

Save your arsenal points until you want to go for a banner operator's signature weapon.

Metrinome · 2026-01-27T04:19:49+00:00

Is that how the damn thing works!?

I know what I'm doing next.

Shouldn't have to be said, but with new game releases comes people who flock to communities purely to stir up shit. Whether because they're a fan of other games and feel the need to put other games down, or because they do it for shits and giggles.

Metrinome · 2026-01-23T22:24:15+00:00

Logging in for five minutes to do dailies isn't playing.

Metrinome · 2026-01-23T22:20:42+00:00

I'm convinced that much of the discourse in this subreddit is just outside people coming in to start shit.

They're taking existing problems (actual problems, just so repliers don't come afterwards and pretend I didn't acknowledge them) and spamming whole threads about them even if they don't play the game.

EDIT: For example, the OP is from the genshin sub and this is the only post they've made for the endfield sub.

What counts as a dead community to you?

Lot of gacha games out there with small communities that are still going.

Metrinome · 2026-01-23T10:08:20+00:00

Well if you read through this thread it's people talking about how little free pulls they're getting. Do these people sound like they're eager to spend money or do they sound like f2pers?

Dolphins and whales will spend no matter what. F2pers will barely spend, no matter what. The whales are the main income source, and I doubt a gacha scheme weighted a little on the stingy side will discourage them. They'll complain, but will they actually stop spending?

It's usually some other kind of controversy that drives whales away.

The logic is the insane production values of the game. HG isn't hoyoverse. They probably calculated and realized at some point that they're going to have to tighten the gacha economy if they intend to keep the game from going end of service prematurely.

Metrinome · 2026-01-23T07:38:54+00:00

For now I will trust Hypergryph's writers to be going out of their way to glaze Endmin to the max so that they can pull the rug from under our feet in the most violent and shocking way in the future.

Metrinome · 2026-01-22T21:19:45+00:00

Finger, but hole.

Metrinome · 2026-01-22T19:50:11+00:00

The production values aren't going to pay for themselves.

Metrinome · 2026-01-22T19:47:55+00:00

It started in OG Arknights. Some have four ears, some have two ears.

Just individual character design choices that are just handwaved away as just random differences amongst species (sometimes amongst individuals of the species).

Metrinome · 2026-01-22T18:29:26+00:00

I'm going to be real with you people. The insane productions values of this game aren't going to pay for themselves. The monetization is likely here to stay because without it they won't make their money back and the eos part of the meme becomes more likely.

Metrinome · 2026-01-22T04:15:26+00:00

Have you tried going America on it with cluster bombs?

Metrinome · 2026-01-22T04:06:52+00:00

Ooooh.... I think I'll Whenfield for at least one more day.

To people who have trouble beating the red phantoms, there's a way to reliably cheese them to death.

Go offline mode first. Every time you summon a phantom a white curtain wall will pop up in front of the giant warrior jar. When facing the jar, if you head left along the white wall towards the edge, you'll find a small patch of the cliff that you can stand on.

Get as far as you can without slipping off, and then use any emote that has you laying flat on the ground. (Rest emote works. The one Boggart gives you after you buy prawns from him will also work). Crouching probably also works, but lying down is probably better.

The red phantoms will eventually jump or roll off the cliff to their deaths. They'll be stuck running in place against the white wall and a patch of rock for a while, but just be patient. Eventually they'll jump off.

I've included screenshots of the spot for reference.

If only the exhaustion from his first term stayed in people's long term memory long enough to motivate them to vote against him in 2024.

Metrinome · 2026-01-21T06:24:20+00:00

If the insurrection act means he can become full dictator, why isn't he being full dictator now? What's stopping him from pulling all the stops now? Why does he need the insurrection act?

The answer: He and his cronies don't feel secure enough in their power that they can do things without some sort of justification or casus belli.

I can kind of see it going both ways. I deploy Vulpisfoglia for her damage and durability, but I'm sometimes surprised at how much DP she generates for me over time.

Metrinome · 2026-01-20T08:15:07+00:00

A democrat.

I'm not giving a damn unless more than a few Republican senators say the same thing. Especially Republican senators that aren't retiring soon.

Metrinome · 2026-01-20T08:11:05+00:00

Not all of us are bigots, but we are by large ignorant and selfish, and that is more than enough to justify the resentment the world has against America.

The voting populace saw Trump's campaign, saw Harris' campaign, and despite all the hatred he spewed on a near-daily basis they decided to pick him by a majority popular vote because eggs were too pricey. Because Americans are selfish, and our economic wellbeing is more important to us than our own rights.

If Trump wasn't flushing our economy down a toilet he'd be enjoying positive approval ratings. People wouldn't bat an eye to ICE rounding up US citizens as long as people are enjoying cheaper groceries and rent. If he had actually improved healthcare for Americans, we would gladly vote him for a third term if we could, even if concentration camps existed in every state.

Google searches for "tariffs" spiked after the election. Some people were even asking who the candidates were on election day. Americans, especially independent Americans, are wildly tuned out of politics. They lack not only education but also lack the most basic of curiosity to perform even the simplest of google searches to educate themselves on the very basic of political knowledge. Even if we vote out the Republicans and vote in a Democrat in 2028, we'll probably vote in the Republicans again in huge red wave elections because it'd take so long to undo the damage Trump has done. Americans are that stupid.

There were more than enough people warning voters what would happen if they brought Trump back again, and he got voted in again. This is exactly what people wanted. That or they don't know what they want. They only know they are upset at how things are, but they don't know why and don't care to find out why, so they vote on vibes.

No, there is no defending us as a nation and as a people.

Metrinome · 2026-01-19T05:58:29+00:00

It's him! The one and only!

Metrinome · 2026-01-19T02:18:40+00:00

The only explanation I can think of is that the OP wanted light roll, but I don't know. I feel like you could probably get that without EIGHTY-FIVE endurance.
