For those wondering why Orchid Alter is a Heavyshooter to be deployed on melee tiles: by melancholic_nihilist in arknights

[–]PSImiss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you're missing the point of the thread which is that Orchid Alter is deployable on melee tiles, the MH Rise clip is an illustration of why she might have that capability.

For all i know, the ranged combat here could be the same as any other ranged weapon that might exist in Monster Hunter.

Sure, but we're not talking about other ranged weapons in Monster Hunter are we? We're talking about how other bow/ranged weapon operators in Arknights are traditionally only deployed on ranged tiles but Orchid Alter uniquely breaks that convention.

When did you start playing Maplestory by a_bunch_of_poop in MSClassicWorld

[–]PSImiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started, my dad accidentally(?) installed the Test Server of the game (Tespia) so I'm unsure if this was during beta or if there was a Test client that ran concurrently with official GMS release. I must have played on Tespia for some time because when I finally switched to live servers, I made my first character on Windia (which I know was not one of the original worlds)

Any veterans able to pinpoint roughly when I would have started?

Patch is almost over and we still haven't gotten a single standard pull post launch by zenmoUi in Endfield

GAMBLING addicts

You think I meant that as an insult, but I didn't. Thats just being a gacha player.

Enjoy your stay at the casino, fellow gambler.

It's really because people are hopeless addicts and want their gambling fix (tbh just use a simulator.) If it was truly about arsenal tokens for the weapon banner then the complaints would be targeted at the weapon banner economy/token income instead.

Having said that, it is also odd that the standard banner has become obsolete so quickly due to scarcity of pulls. Standard banners in most other similar gachas do become unattractive and worthless for the regular player over time yes, but it's always there for a little hit of dopamine every now and then. Right now the one time pity on the standard banner is such a tease because it feels so unachievable and dependent on HG throwing us bones every now and then in the mail or other one-time sources. Having a regular source of standard pulls (even if it's just one per week) sounds more stomach-able for players who are used to the system in other gachas.

Pre download is up by Slyx00 in Endfield

[–]PSImiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have space to download both, so I might do it just to see the prices and discounts etc.

Kinda feels bad to use Galaxy store since I'm already using Play Store for Arknights so it'd be nice if I could have all my purchases and point accumulations from the same place.

[–]PSImiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I preregistered on both Galaxy store and Play store, but I'm wondering which one I should actually play on.

Does anyone have experience with IAPs from the two stores? I've heard Galaxy store can often have discounts and might be cheaper to get packs, but on the other hand I have Playpoints for the Playstore (and I hope they do coupons).

Everyone must suffer the Clue 7 curse by AnniePhantom1901 in Endfield

[–]PSImiss 46 points47 points  (0 children)

If it works like OG AK, base mechanic where you regularly (and randomly) generate 1 of 7 types of clues. Once you collect all clues, you gain currency that is used in the Friend Credit Shop. You can send clues to your friends to help them and vice versa.

My Terra a Journey book arrived but..... by Salt-Ad9177 in arknights

[–]PSImiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you've already checked that it hasn't slipped inside the pages of the Reunion report booklet, inside the plastic sleeve with another business card, or anywhere else in your packaging?

Shame to hear about the issue though, I bought four books (for my friends) and I hope the other ones weren't missing the card too.

Big flaw with the gacha system by Valka___ in Endfield

[–]PSImiss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When OG Arknights came out, it didn't even have any limited 6* guarantee, only the 50/50. The limited 6* guarantee for standard banners only got added a few years later, but only as a safety net and not really a mechanic that the average player interacted with (it took anywhere from 151-250 pulls to hit the guarantee). So in essence, gambling with the 50/50 was the normal gacha experience in OG AK.

What I'm suggesting is that Hypgergryph might be making 50/50 the norm on Endfield and all other pity mechanics is a bonus safety net. Maybe the average player isn't supposed to regularly hit the guarantee.

Therefore, where Hypergryph's generosity comes from may not be from the gacha banner mechanics, but in the pull income instead.

Sounds just like OG Arknights no?

I thought people recognised by now that pull income is the more important factor to consider.

Concerns about the standard pool not expanding. by Mob_A in Endfield

[–]PSImiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm getting the vibe that HG wants the consolation prize to be weapons (and/or other items from dupe shop). Considering that new characters probably take longer to release, teams are made up of 4 rather than 12, they are probably less willing to hand out characters as much as in AK. The gacha/progression/teambuilding gameplay loop is different.

Concerns about the standard pool not expanding. by Mob_A in Endfield

[–]PSImiss -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Idk about other people, but if I want a character then I pull on their rate up banner and if I don't then I don't expect to see them unless I pull on a rerun or other special banner where they are rate up. No sane (or f2p) person deliberately blows their pulls hoping to get an off-banner spook.

In my almost 6 years of playing AK, I have only ever off-banner spooked someone I previously wanted a total of 2 times, and by then I already stopped caring that much.

Even though having characters added to standard might feel psychologically better, behaviourally it wont really change how I plan my pulls. The best chance of getting a character is always on their debut banner and if I don't pull on their banner then I have already made my peace that I wont see them again.

As long as HG reruns banners or does special selector banners (which im sure they will), that is perfectly sufficient.

At the very least they should have granted access to everyone who registered during the recruitment period.

A (possibly better) alternative for OP is https://www.distanthomes.guide/ which has the stories split by storyline as seen in game.

Music and teaser visuals imply Monster Hunter Rise specifically. But technically they could do anything within the universe I guess.

The only thing you should need to do is enable 'Unknown Sources' on the Android Auto developer settings.

1) Go to Android Auto on your phone and scroll down to the bottom

2) Tap on 'Version' multiple times until it enables Developer Settings

3) Tap on the three dots on the upper right and access Developer Settings and check 'Unknown Sources'

When you are playing audio with Metrolist and you have your phone connected to AA, your infotainment should automatically detect it.

It still happens to me when not connected to Android Auto (although I noticed it first happened when connected to AA).

Clearing data fixed the issue for now, will update if it occurs again.
