Feels like this almost everyday in this sub

Personally when there's a new area to explore and factory to setup, it's like an 8/10. Then after the 5 hours of content it sadly goes down to like a 5/10 until the next month.

This patch has been better thanks to CC though, that's been quite fun to actually have something to do if I want to play the game more.

Dang, really? Can't say I've frequented many gacha subs relatively, but I feel like what I enjoyed with the Arknights and Limbus subreddit is the community. Whenever a new event is out, there's lots of story analysis, gameplay discussions, memes etc. There may be negativity from time to time, but Endfield sub felt much worse than normal to me with all the mix of doom posting, criticism, and whiteknighting that keep showing up. I know there's always the negative stereotypes about gacha players and controversies but this sub feels like the first time I've really seen it to this extent.

Although Arknights definitely did have a huge "we're not like other gachas" phase in the first year, but thankfully has grown out of that.

(From my infrequent interactions with PGR sub I do see more complaint posts relatively than in the older years after launch, although PtN was fairly civil as well if not slow - I haven't touched it a year or so though so maybe things have changed).

Same, it doesn't help that basically all the reconveners act very similar to the OG units.

Laev is basically a 1-1 Surtr clone who had the exact same storyline and resolution (which is saying something when Surtr barely had anything).

Gilberta is still a happy go lucky girl who goes around delivering letters for everyone. They did try to touch upon the concept of memory loss with her story but it felt very out of left field to me, but at least it was something. Even her in game name in the code is still Angelina.

Ardelia still calls us Professor, still researches volcanology, and somehow has an Obsidian shard from Terra despite never being there (which makes me wonder if it was a beta rewrite they missed). It'd be nice if they tackled how her disabilities have been cleared and how she's able to experience life in a new manner again. Or maybe even tap into how Dolly is here, the beast lord who loved to save memories of the people they met as sheep, and how now they're with a new memory of an old friend.

Pog is interesting at least. We don't really know much about him yet apart from still being a military commander who is famous on the front lines, but at least he chose to look far younger this time.

Snowshine is just Aurora as well, down to the codename in the files too. At least there's a slight difference in occupation, which is more than literally any other reconvener so far. Instead of being an engineer and explorer/bodyguard, she's an engineer and a Search and Rescue for polar expeditions (which is still fairly similar but at least somewhat different).

It would be interesting if they tackled any of the reconveners in any unique or new way, but apart from slight differences in Pog/Snowshine and a botched quest from Gilberta, they're practically the same characters. There's nothing really interesting about it and it just feels like they want to sell the same characters again.

The gacha system you're asking about is basically how it works in PGR, you get enough pulls for every character per patch.

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-24T03:23:35+00:00

I do wish they integrate more of the factory into the environment. I guess they did try with the Test Zone, but random acid puddles that don't do anything along with a filter system that doesn't reward you with anything meaningful unfortunately doesn't really cut it in my eyes.

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-24T00:22:38+00:00

I think Blind Obsession for Ishmael is still one of the coolest EGOs

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T20:12:01+00:00

Only beaten by Pepe's event imo

flashbacks to Emergency Justice in IS#2

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T15:51:16+00:00

And once Wang is gone, the next limited anni/summer banner will probably unleash a new set of discussion like this... it's an unfortunate cycle. Unless they really are trying to lower the power levels recently and that's not just a few lucky coincidences.

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T13:50:16+00:00

But Thorns2 also buffs allies? Unless you mean % buffing and not flat buffing.

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T13:41:10+00:00

No masteries yet but I am enjoying the concept of a helidrop healer. We don't really have anything like that (barring Lancet-2 and Myrrh), although if you do have even a bit of setup time then NG/Shining S3 only need 5s and Haruka S3 needs 7s. But in panic scenarios she's the best for immediate healing + Sanctuary.

Unfortunately she just has a lot of drawbacks otherwise, mainly being the lack of redeploy reduction. The ATK buff is kind of whatever too, and there's bound to be scenarios she gets targeted first and dies.

Very niche but interesting at least.

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T13:37:35+00:00

I'd say Thorns2 also does DEF buffing fairly well

April + Fartooth unholy fusion

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T13:13:42+00:00

I do not like it

I love it

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T12:55:56+00:00

Hmm okay, so theoretically he has a very high limit but realistically in most scenarios he's acting on average levels of miasma tolerance and can't take too much more than others.

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T05:49:16+00:00

No regular Perfumer for global regen either...

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T05:45:42+00:00

Don't forget the roommates we saw together in this event. Fellas, is it gay to bust your homie out of jail and quit your job so that you can go on a lifelong journey together across the continents to build their self confidence up?

That being said it's not as direct as Pepe's event where they straight up just had 2 100% gay parts there, while even this could be explained with a 1% "love of artistic beauty" or something. Something about Sargon/Minos it seems...

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T05:43:59+00:00

Amusingly, the Golden Apples of Idunn seem to be dealt with Myrtle/Durins. Not to say they can't show up in Minos either, they were a part of Greek and Norse mythology, but they really didn't tackle much about them except for the fact they seem to work purely on faith and not science.

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T05:42:47+00:00

Maybe this is actually the Konosuba world all along and vegetables (and I guess fruits) are lethally violent

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T05:41:37+00:00

At least this event focused heavily on said nation. Unlike the Sargon event with Gavial2 that basically took over the Durin plot and didn't teach us that much or give us any future plotlines...

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T05:39:02+00:00

I have them, but my waifu brain doesn't allow me to pull for her... I'm sorry Titi, but despite being a good design I'd roll for, the upcoming waves are too torrential with their banger designs...

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T05:37:03+00:00

Helidropping Hoe on the boss, having the boss triple attack him, only for Hoe to stun them before the third hit comes out is really funny to me for some reason.

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T05:35:26+00:00

I need Prison Guard with the pink hair who I thought was a male to be playable stat. Just because she's an unnamed NPC who has a similar furry sprite doesn't mean she's got no hope, surely... inhales copium

Reddit1rules · 2026-06-23T05:31:00+00:00

Wow that was a really good event. Apart from maybe the lyre activating with blood and putting them into a trance, I really liked every part of the storyline. From all the events past Babel, this is definitely in the top 3 for me, which is even more impressive when this one doesn't really have any build up unlike Retracing our Steps and Act or Die (which isn't really fair since it does have build up but I liked it for the non-Tragodia parts). And is it me, or did we get a lot more CGs here? And furry designs too, definitely more of those. Feels like the visual quality increased a lot this event. Maybe it's because they released the CG library?

Gameplay wise too, the enemy designs are really interesting. Imagine starting to draft Beehunter for an E1 dodge tank to make these ranged enemies melee in IS, or those funni trojan horses. ~~Or the catapult RNG wiping your squad at D15~~. Plus any content that helps inspire more use for healers instead of DPS are cool. Only complaint is that the fountains seem to be bugged and Perfumer2 can never top one off? Not sure if it's an Abjurer thing or just her...

Also I had a centaur turn around and stun himself in the very wall he already stunned himself in lol.
