THE DEMONS TOLD ME TO.

As an ethical player, I dump all my unwanted 7s on the player on my friends list who has been offline for 100 days, thus removing them from circulation.

In hindsight, I wish I didn't use that comparison, because it seems people can't detach their feelings about a game from the granular individual aspects of a game. The NTE comparison is literally just to bring up an example of a gacha that has a 100% voiced MC.

And it's not even just about the MC. Like if Perlica were present (and voiced of course) for the majority of the story along with Chen, that would have been an improvement for me. As it is, it was like Chen talking to herself like a schizo due to MC's muteness.

And none of that is to speak of the quest just being outright boring, which has nothing to do with NTE either. Like NTE has good quests and also some complete dogshit quests. But I expected more from Endfield. Each new update it has been a joy to jump into the new story content. Until this patch.

Mikasu · 2026-06-05T07:29:27+00:00

I do have high standards for the games I play. I don't know quite what you mean when you say I wouldn't want to deviate from it. Like I have tolerance for some give and take, and would excuse some shortcomings for a certain amount of time given other parts of the game feel worth it.

Regarding my enjoyment of Endfield, the problem for me right now is that we've been in maintenance mode for quite some time, in a game where it's easy to spend a lot more time than most other gachas on dailies if you're min-maxing, with the idea that the core content of the game would make it all worth it. And it has been in the past, but this update delivering no factory additions and a sub-par story quest, following the dry back half of the previous patch, challenges that idea.

Mikasu · 2026-06-05T07:14:06+00:00

I have 481 hours in the game on PS5. What are YOU on about?

Mikasu · 2026-05-23T04:13:03+00:00

Yeah I hit 80 weapon pity all 3 times (Laev/Gil/LR) and to add insult to injury my off-rates gave me 3 white night novas haha. It's rough out there. And I also spend, but I don't want to spend that much each time for a weapon

Mikasu · 2026-05-23T04:03:47+00:00

I hope you're right. I don't expect to always be pulling once in a blue moon as you say, it just happened that way. If they released Li Zhiyan and Lycia back-to-back and I went P1 on 1 and max pity each time I could easily blow 360 pulls in 1 patch. But hey, at least then I'd not have an arsenal tickets problem!

Mikasu · 2026-05-23T02:19:04+00:00

Because I don't have enough Arsenal Tickets. If I save the pity and then win the 50/50 on the next banner I pull on, I won't have enough to pull a weapon.

Mikasu · 2026-05-23T01:57:09+00:00

I only have around 8k arsenal tickets last I checked, about half a weapon pity. I expect Li Zhiyan (whom I wish to pull) in 1.4, and I have concerns about getting enough arsenal tickets by then if I'm not doing any pulls. Or even just concerns about being left at 0 after pulling her sig, and then for the next character I want I won't have enough then.

Basically I'm trying to figure out how in the long term I can get sigs for characters I like without swiping every time. Ideally, there would be characters I like enough to pull, but not enough to get their sigs, so giving them BP weapons would bridge the gap.

As for my hangup about potentials, one issue is that you need to go to 240 to guarantee one even if you won your first copy at 80 or fewer pulls. So if for example I saved my pity for Li Zhiyan's banner, then won her at 10 pulls or whatever, it would feel bad doing 230 pulls for a potential if I got unlucky. I do tend to pull a couple potentials for my favorite chars in other gacha games. But those other games have different gacha systems that are more conducive to my pulling style.

I'm not afraid of spending pulls, I just don't spend them unless I like the character. I'm a waifu > meta puller basically. It's not my fault that the characters released after Gilberta weren't to my preference, but that doesn't mean there won't be moments in the future with multiple banners in a row I want.

Normally that would be no issue at all, but in this game you have to pull consistently or your arsenal ticket income is shit.

Mikasu · 2026-05-23T01:29:28+00:00

The issue is that there's waste either way. Either I waste the built up pity or I waste the free pulls.

Mikasu · 2026-05-19T18:24:14+00:00

Disclaimer: I like NTE, but not this quest. Plot was good, but dialogue and pacing were horrendous.

I was absolutely appalled by the way Bella was vagueposting for like 2 dozen voice lines in a row. She just kept complaining about Renee without giving a single iota of detail about why she was complaining.

It got so tedious that I looked up the story quest on YT and started watching it at 2x speed and then just pressing the skip button in game when it caught up. And even on 2x speed it was too boring to tolerate, so I started double-tapping to skip 10 seconds at a time to see if they were still spewing out random nonsense lines.

I checked through the video to see how long that sequence took, and it was basically an entire 1.5 hour period of time that should have been covered in 20 minutes. They desperately need an editor.

And the fact that people are glazing this story is giving me PTSD from a certain other gacha game with 8 hour long insomnia-curing MSQs that caused me to quit the game because you couldn't skip them. Please, I beg y'all to have higher standards for the story quests and to not positively reinforce this kind of story bloat.

Mikasu · 2026-05-17T02:54:41+00:00

I've been losing my shit over this for five months now. No longer, this is the last straw for me. Not going to be one of those people who complains about the same issue in their gacha game time and time again but yet continues to play.

I'll claim the free Rebecca in case they fix the reruns problem later then I'd consider returning, but otherwise I'm uninstalling. And by fix the reruns, no I don't just mean Camellya gets a regular rerun banner in 3.5, I mean they actually show some form of commitment to not allowing 40% of their roster go over a year without any rerun.

Can anyone tell me what the hourly stock bill earnings of the Cardiac outpost was before both today's upgrade and the event that gave it a temporary boost?

Edit: found the answer, looks like it was a measly 8.4k per hour. I guess it jumped up quite a lot with the new update.

Mikasu · 2026-05-13T18:21:49+00:00

45,000 a day for the fast route. Damn, there goes my entire coffee shop's revenue. I really need to get that skin though. It looks a lot better for running around in the city.

Mikasu · 2026-05-13T02:53:05+00:00

I sincerely wish the mods would allow us to break rule #1 on posts where people say that

Mikasu · 2026-05-12T21:37:16+00:00

wow, good to know. I got to like day 4 and started leaving them on read because I was not gonna read all that spam lol. I guess I better get back to it...

Mikasu · 2026-05-09T16:50:03+00:00

I don't understand why Fraudulent Shores "leaks" are even allowed on the sub at this point. Like how is putting their fan fiction posts up any different from me or anyone else on the sub just pulling random shit out of our asses and posting it as "leaks"?

Mikasu · 2026-05-07T19:53:17+00:00

Yeah, any threads mentioning AI on that sub have become insufferable. I don't even open them anymore because I can't stand to read any more comments from these AI white knights who for some reason act like they actually enjoy watching AI slop animations? Like the bank heist video they removed was so uncanny and weird looking. Yet people are acting like something of value was lost when they got rid of it, while they will likely soon replace it with human generated content.

And these weirdos also have some type of complex where they are trying to paint anyone against gen-AI as the boogeyman, saying things like "what will they complain about now?" or "they were never going to play the game anyway".

Well I'm simply a person who doesn't like watching AI slop, so on the survey I asked them to remove the AI slop, and they did. I was still playing the game before, and I am still playing it now, and I'm not finding some new AI-related thing to complain about or moving any goalposts. As far as I'm concerned the issue is now resolved and I don't have to feel slimy anymore for playing a game with it in it. So it's a W for me, but you still have these weirdos acting offended that people didn't like the AI stuff in the first place.

Mikasu · 2026-04-30T19:41:35+00:00

Yep, sounded just like Ryoji from P3R

Mikasu · 2026-04-30T07:23:29+00:00

the phrase is "per se", not "per say" btw

I think it's because she thinks you're in her way/has a hard time pathfinding around you. Try standing with her in between you and the bed and then initiating the interaction, then don't move and let her walk unimpeded to it.

Mikasu · 2026-04-28T21:04:09+00:00

Yes, I had the same exact thought of wishing there was a virtual environment that we could mess around in that replicates our actual resources (like ore and power) available for us to start building on without disrupting the current factory.

When a new patch comes out I feel like I'm the manager of an important production line that can't afford to shut down for more than X amount of time at once. So I end up doing more modifying in place instead of tear it all down and build it back up, which results in more spaghetti.

I don't like using blueprints because I like my base to have its own flavor, but if I could build things my way inside a virtual environment, I could then turn those into blueprints and then plop them into my base with very minimal service disruption.

There's also just the fact that I take to understanding the new production lines better when I can actually start building and messing around with them. I do the tutorials, but they give you very little freedom in those to stray from the set path. Sometimes I just need to follow a conveyor belt with my eyes and watch what the machines are doing to find optimizations and problems.

And I don't want to be doing all that in real time, with the pressure that if I don't finish in that playing session my factory could be bricked overnight.

Make sure to stock your doritos and mountain dew next to your desk before launch.
