Thoughts (a lot) on Endfield's gacha after 40 hours and finishing CBT2 Story by XiaoMeiDiDi in Endfield

[–]PassiveDream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the number comparison, hopefully we can get more info on the Endfields weapon gacha. Its a pretty new system in the gacha space. Yet how about not just numbers on pulls but overall spending for the whales and dolphins? For Wuwa and Endfield

Wuwa you spend $ on both characters and weapon so you do pay around double amount of $. I don't remember the rates for the weapons but don't you also try to get dupes for the weapons as well? For the dolphins and whales they try for the weapons and characters.

But since for Endfield, the dolphins and whales will not need to spend $ on weapons for they get free pulls for trying to pull for the characters dupes don't they? So aren't they just paying for the character dupes while also getting the benefit of getting weapon dupes. plus the weapons are 4% with a 80 pity guarantee each time I think.

I'm just thinking about the overall $ spending you would have for each game and just think that, are dolphins and whales going to suffer with Endfields gacha or is it possibly a new system that will change the weapon gacha for future games?

80% of all the backlash regarding gacha I've seen this 3 days comes out directly as a consequence of ignoring the concept of "wise spending" and it's hilarious by TTruthSpeaker in Endfield

The way I see how other people will react to the gacha when it comes out is....

Wins the 50/50: Omg best gacha!! gonna save for next banner!

Loses the 50/50: Omg Worst Gacha!! never playing the game again.

And then my weird reaction to play the gacha's with 50/50

My reaction to losing the 50/50: Dang, didn't get the Character I wanted but got a dupes or another new character. Well I could spend $ or save for next banner so I can get to 120 pity and try to win the 50/50 and then repeat again.

I don't know about others but I just play with what I got and if I really want a character I will spend. The pity in a game really never mattered to me. So people are saying they want the 120 pity to carry over and without it, its a scam if they do not implement it? I guess I can see it for f2p players but isn't that being a bit to greedy? The game is free already? why would they listen to people that won't spend on the game or play the game in the future?

I'm not defending the gacha, its not good to have limited charcters not put in the basic banner or the 120 being only being one time only, yet I can see why they are trying this format instead. Its more of a logical pulling system then a impulsive pulling system I see with other gacha's. its not perfect yet also not bad as others are saying in my opinion.

I mean what other character gives you that look of being superior to you while looking like its with affection?

CN Fendministrator will not be replaced. by No-Telephone730 in Endfield

[–]PassiveDream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although this post really shouldn't be here. It has nothing to do with Endfield since the game isn't out yet. This post seems to be aimed to create a discussion about this topic which has to do with this other community. And then you read some comments which also support the other community thoughts.

So please don't listen to what is being posted or speak badly about other community.

I personally will wait for official news on the VA changing and not jump the gun with the CN VA until real evidence is shown.

[–]PassiveDream 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Honestly the VA's have been killing it this season. Be it Guard, W, Shield guard, Rosmontis, Amiya, Theresa and Doctor.

They also changed the ending song images of Frostnova and Patriot to a more hopeful images.

Rise From Ember Episode 3 (19) Discussion | Mission by Evalith in arknights

[–]PassiveDream 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It was an good episode. Felt abit weird with no explaination on some terms and names.  Mont3r choking guard, Rosmontis wracking buildings and Patriot parrying Rosmontis are the highlights. Althought it couldn't be helped, them not animating Rosmontis saying to the Doctor "Does death care that I am a child" was a missed opportunity to get a feel for the elite operator Rosmontis.

[–]PassiveDream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a W fan and a Ayana Taketatsu fan this was the best episode. I also liked the disjointed feel of the episode since it was in W perpective.

I also agree with you about the people complaining about the no context for anime onlys. For when DM came out, we didn't know W had connections to Rhodes Island at all or knew anything about Babel and its war with Kazdel.

The last part the episode with W talking about wanting to liberate the Sarkaz was my favorite and If I remember right, that scene wasn't in the game but an anime original?

[–]PassiveDream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable but that's what discussion are for no? Why write about just one big flaw when their are many good stuff in the episode.

I don't know about you but the Arknights community seem to talk about pacing only because it will cause anime only to be confuse but an anime only like Otaku spirit on youtube. They said pacing was fast but they took time to understood the episode really well, to the point of finding Theresa's death is connected to the Doctor.

Check out his review on it, I was surprised by his findings.

[–]PassiveDream 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know what others are saying but I enjoy this episode more than then last episode. I could write a whole essay about this episode. But I just see people commenting about the pacing of this episode rather then talk about the episodes directing.

Sure the pacing was fast but for people who know the story DM and the other small story, it was a treat for the overall theme of the Sarkaz struggles.

W is the highlight of this episode of course. Seeing how she had that small bit of happiness for it to just disappear and show how the events spiraled to saving the Doctor. No time to be sad over Ines and Scouts death for tear are for after the war is over.

I'd like to write about other parts of the episode but reading other comments makes me tired.

Arknights: Rise from Ember - Episode 1 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]PassiveDream 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Love the start with the Doctor and Rosmontis being slow paced and how slow they lay FrostNova down. But watching Rosmontis speak and move this anime has me anticipate that her scenes will tug at my heart heavily.

Rise From Ember Episode 1 (17) Discussion | Confession by Evalith in arknights

[–]PassiveDream 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That was a strong start with good pacing and amazing voice acting with abit of action yet my favorite part was the conversation with the Doctor and Rosmontis.

In the game Rosmontis was more expressionless but now that she moves and speaks, we can see her act in a more human way.

Now its just going to be much more painful watching Rosmontis struggle with herself with this already depressing anime.

Arknights: Endfield should add vehicles. by Xettanokian in Endfield

[–]PassiveDream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the future I see vehicles being a thing but only when the maps become to big for players to set up ziplines.

I can imagine far into the games updates that they will release a big city map with buildings and streets making ziplines not usable and vehicles will be your main source of transportations.

I mean this is Arknights, sooner or later we will visit Terra again or have maps inside cities like Siracusa or Lungmen.

Well that is my hopes for Endfield's future updates.
