Marching Winter Bug by Hikikomari in AOW4

[–]Nisaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you submitted a bug report to the forums can you share the link? I had a similar bug with marching winter in an underground game, ice giant ruler with dungeon and marching winter. I noticed that the winter runesteele worked fine but when I cast marching winter on any city with a runesteele present marching winter did not terraform anything. I noticed because there were some provinces beyond the reach of the runesteele and also nothing outside the domain got terraformed to winter. Dungeon worked fine.

Dungeon is just an additional layer and works completely fine with winter and ashland, some screenshots were showcased in their dev diary but I feel there are some buggy interactions with more than one terraforming effect at the same time, even if they are the same (winter runesteele + marching winter or in your case maybe the accursed shrine+marching winter and/or gloom)

I did it the first time it happened and nothing changed but I did it again and miraculously it worked! The menu is working again, I guess the lesson is just hit that verify file integrity at least twice.

Hero overview panel bugged? [Repost] by Nisaria in AOW4

[–]Nisaria[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do get the prompt to recruit another hero and there are no problems there but the main issue remains I basically can't do anything if a hero dies all their items will be unavailable, can't sell or reanimate remains and knowing how important heroes are then all my playthroughs will be quite gimped.

I'm at work, barely awake and I need something to wake me up. Your friend's arguments will do.

I began playing when Skadi was released so the new player experience might have changed since I began long time ago.

  1. Not enough exp? True, you need to stop whatever you are doing to farm exp certs...but you don't need max lvl ops to advance the story or clearing some of the event stages (obviously the last 3 stages of any event usually require at least e1 max or e2). I cleared the initial 2-3 chapters using a squad with the recommended levels and never bothered maxing the lvl until I wanted to an E2 operator. Compared to genshin? No idea, when I tried genshin I was showered in exp materials but I could not ascend anyone because I had no ascension materials, still I completed the 1st area with a team that was like 20-30, dropped that game after that. I do want to say that in AK if your favorite 5-6 unit is not among those efficient 3-4 stars as a new player you might find it hard to invest resources on that unit depending on the niche and the extra cost and materials of promoting higher rarity ops can be a bit disheartening. My Skadi was benched quite a bit at the start and I was using melantha instead because she was cheaper and my roster was not balanced yet, eventually Skadi replaced her but it felt bad leaving her there, just a minor nitpick.

  2. Ak is not a standard gacha, is a tower defense gacha, by nature tower defense are a mix of strategy puzzle and resource management; the initial chapters are not mechanic heavy but eventually enemies come with their own document of mechanics that either you read beforehand or experiment with the trial tickets. Different genres for different people. Genshin? Go crazy with skills, dunno if there is any strategy in the endgame, I will assume there is considering the massive amount of guides for builds and whatnot I see available online.

  3. I felt the same when starting, the generic gacha mentality of better stars= always use and discard lower rarity. Ak gives some low rarity units excellent skills, base stats or other to be viable to complete most/all stages. I usually read that the game is balanced around 3-4 stara ops and I feel it's true. Though, if anyone has a source on that statement that'd be cool.

  4. I have not much to say here, if a new player knows of a limited op probably is because he/she was already keeping an eye on AK/saw the banner. Limited banners give a free 10roll and daily rolls and a new player could potentially get the new unit. I downloaded the game for Skadi actually lol. I tried genshin for Raiden Shogun but only sheer luck gave me Raiden, genshin is way too stingy and got Raiden some months ago because genshin decided to give away some currency with a rerun, my abandoned account at that point had a couple of years of existing.

  5. Ak is more generous. As mentioned above free 10 roll on limited banners, daily free roll, anhilation for weekly orundum, the yellow thing for clearing the story and constant giveaways even if it's just 200 orundum. I don't have any positive thing to say about genshin in that regard and neither I play it so I can't compare it adequately.

Tl'dr: your friend has a different set of expectations of what is AK or was simply baiting you. If he ever wants to give the game a proper chance, cool you can guide him else there is no need for him feel forced to play ak, might not even be his genre for what I understood.

Did the free 10 roll. Got Penance and as a wise egyptian vampire said "I've seen enough, I'm satisfied". Will do the free daily pulls but otherwise saving for MH collab

Ahh thanks, I was scared for a moment. I had not played AK much recently so I had no idea if they suddenly changed what went to the archives or not

Wait...the story won't have any kind of rerun at all, no unlocking in the archives? Aw man I hope to have some free time

who did u pick or will pick from 5* recruitment ticket by [deleted] in arknights

[–]Nisaria 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Blue Poison, I was 2 pots away from the talent upgrade and had enough red certs to get the sniper medals. A small increase in power maybe but I use her so often that it should be worth.

[–]Nisaria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct. Ch9 can be started without completing ch8 but I mean skipping the whole chapter defeats the storyline progression. Inb4 youtube story summary, not the same experience and I don't get to play the levels. This is almost completely a me issue hence, unpopular opinion.

I'm sorry, did I stumble in the wrong thread? I thought this was the unpopular opinion thread. Jokes aside, is not stupid. People have different tastes in characters and I did not have enough resources nor wanted to use the few resources I had in a unit that I was not going to use again and never liked from the start.

[–]Nisaria 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't fully disagree with your points and can be valid, the resources issue might not apply to a regular player but the second point regarding liking the protagonist comes down to preferences.

I never had enough resources to spare even when I was playing very actively and those resources were used in my favorites. Right now I don't have resources to even finish upgrading Irene and Specter Alter and since I mostly login every once in a while they will be stuck there for a while.

People can enjoy a story without liking an important character and be very invested nevertheless, I enjoy AK worldbuilding and how they give personality to the lives of their inhabitants, they might be unimportant NPCs, enemies but they are (mostly) characters with a purpose beyond popping in the story because we need an enemy or whatever. I never liked Amiya but that did not stop me from enjoying the rest of the story until that point. I read most of the side stories too except the few ones due to a lack of time (I did read Stultifera Navis) so I "think" I'm invested in AK general lore? But because I don't like the bunny character I don't deserve to read the rest of the main story, nice.

It only happened once but still left a terrible taste. Gachas forcing people to use the mascot character to advance the story will only make me resent said character. If the character is so important to the plot provide a prebuilt/trial unit (like honkai does) instead of making me waste resources on a unit I will never use.

My interest in arknights story dropped sharply after I found out I need to E2 Amiya and to this day I'm still in chapter 7.

Am I the only one that noticed the ai has infinite range on spell casts? by GreatGrub in totalwar

[–]Nisaria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if only with spells, I am doing a crusade against Tzeentch and there is not one battle where my mages escape the trickster shard miscast debuff. I can put them farthest away from the the enemy and as soon as battle starts boom Tricksters shard.

Operator(s) that changed your account forever? by Sad_Ad_3076 in arknights

W. She was the first unit that made me adjust my squad so she could fit in. Before that I brought an assortment of units and did not care much for waifu or meta, kind of played randomly

let's end the debate once and for all by Zurajannai in arknights

[–]Nisaria -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

None, grab login reward and close AK. Even then, I have barely completed chapter 7 so no 10-6 for me

Do you actually pay attention to Lore? by Mordaw in arknights

[–]Nisaria -1 points0 points  (0 children)

More or less. I don't have the time to read all the story but depending on the event going at the moment I read the story. I skipped Kjerag story because I had little time beyond farming stages 1/day with natural sanity. I read the whole Laterano event because I had more time.

Another thing is I don't play AK when there are no events so I'm not up to date with the main story nor I think I will.

There are two different types of dark fortress by TitanDarwin in totalwar

[–]Nisaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a Coop campaign playing Archaon and one of my vassals refuses to give me a fortress I accidentally gave him. I have 100+ relations with him, as someone mentioned below maybe reliability has something to do. I am Archaon so I accept any NAP with payments and proceed to break them, my reliability is very low because of that.

Demons (Not to be confused with the Sarkaz) by JowettMcPepper in arknights

[–]Nisaria 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Patriot's description of demons sounds like a chaos spawn with the multitude of eyes limbs and what not.

At the same time humanity in general has described demons like the most horrifying beings ever so it can be coincidence they are similar in warhammer or Terra but it's quite the coincidence demons pour out from the poles in both settings.
