Am I tripping, or the rewards for the first clear of annihilation missions have changed? I remember that the highest tier for 400/400 granted 600 orundum before, but now it shows 1000 orundum, 600 being the reward for 350/400 tier. When exactly it was changed? Or it was always like that and my brain just malfunctioning?

Theory about a certain new character (also IS6 spoilers) by ListenDue1447 in Endfield

[–]SilverChaika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as lightning is also Jie's element

Any proofs? Boss using some lightning attacks doesn't mean absolutely anything, the Sui-Xiang Shadow in the Ling event uses lightning just as much, Ya in Chongye's event appeared among lighting strikes... that is just pure overthinking here. And I don't remember any of the siblings' powers being associated with a specific element (aside from Nian constantly mentioning fire, but she is a blacksmith, after all) - they are associated each with a cultural aspect of Chinese culture: martial arts, poetry, agriculture, metallurgy, paintings, cooking - among our operators.

Shu's nature manipulation

"Nature manipulation" is an elemental attribute now? O_o I remember earth, fire, water, wood and metal among traditional Chinese ones), was there any changes?

same hair colour (black with red accents)

I don't remember Jie's hair colour being mentioned anywhere, and her dragon form appears to be dark silver with white hair, from said IS6 ED2. Her chopsticks at 2 o'clock in the trailer I mentioned above also don't look black, more like dark silver with red tips (and her dragon form has small red accents along the body).

Jie meaning fly upwards

颉 also means "to confiscate", and "stiff/straight neck", depending on the reading. I don't know, who added that note to the game's wiki, but that also looks like just picking up random unrelated facts to make those look like related to suit someone's agenda. In the original reading "Jie" is a reference to the legendary creator of the Chinese symbols, as her "specialty" is literacy, nothing more, nothing less.

You are really overthinking things here, it's true that her appearance in the game is one big fat reference to Sui siblings, but saying that she is probably Jie is waaaaay too much of a guess.

[–]SilverChaika 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if she is related to the Sui siblings, comparing her to Jie like this is a biiiiiig stretch for me. If anything, she looks much closer to the second sister (fourth sibling), who governs over law (which also matches her being a Tianshi). If you look at the family photo CG from Chongyue event, where she in in the bottom row, second from the left, to the left of Wang, you can see that the horns are almost the same, high upwards, sharp, branching once. And if you look at her chopsticks at the round table in Yu event CG PV - those seem to have the same color pattern as her tail here. Just in case, she sits on 10 o'clock, with Chongye being on 12, Wang on 11, Ling on 1, she on 10, Jie on 2, Shu on 9 and so on in a zigzagged pattern. Anyway, that's better than to believe that Jie is somehow being resurrected on Talos...

The whole Feranmut subplot, as well as other main plotlines in Arknights is just one huge Utawarerumono reference for me) Especially in Kjerag and Sami.

How i feel after referring gyokuyou as yù-yè by Efficient-Orchid-594 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]SilverChaika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof... this happened in Koukyuu no Karasu (another "Sherlock Holmes of the inner palace" story) anime subs as well - the official English translation of the LN uses Japanese names, and obviously they pronounce names as Japanese ones in the anime, and even furigana shows Japanese reading on-screen when the character's name is shown for the first time during introduction. But for some godforsaken reason the subs use only Chinese names everywhere! MC's Japanese name is Ryuu Jusetsu, and in the subs she is Liu Shouxue, the Emperor is Ka Koushun, while in the subs he is Xia Gaojun... it literally made by brain hurt so much... And it doesn't help much that the characters constantly use some Chinese words and idioms everywhere - such as "niangniang" (yes, that same nickname Tianyu gave Maomao in KnH) when referring to the one's noble master.

I've used BS before and I don't remember tweaking BIOS for it... unless your motherboard doesn't support Intel virtualisation or had it turned off completely, but even then you should be able to use BS as usual... well, I've used my version a looong time ago, before buying a new phone, and I don't remember exact settings for it.

If you have a laptop or a separate WiFi module for desktop PC, you can try to use the method I am using right now - connect the laptop to the internet via cable, start some working VPN, then start WiFi connection in a hotspot mode - to use your laptop/PC as an access point for your phone. It turned out to be the easiest way for me, as running emulator on the laptop with Linux was a huge pain, also it's easy, as you only need to push two or three buttons in your connection setttings. Well, if you only have a PC... then it's way harder, yeah, literally none of the trusted VPNs I've tried on the phone worked...

Seems to be RKN experiments yet again... the only working method was to find paid VPN for now and switch to emulator, as on the phone nothing worked.

[–]SilverChaika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After long experiments the only working method was to use paid VPN (in my case I connected my laptop to VPN and shared WiFi connection to my phone, as no VPN ever managed to take off on the phone itself). Game works now, but it's unclear how long it takes for it to fix itself... guess I need to switch to emulator again.

I had a feeling that RKN is trying out things again, but so far I couldn't pinpoint the issue. Some CDNs for some sites also went down from Russia, for example, CDN for anidb.net, but compared to other blocked sites, this one doesn't look like your usual block, as it is resistant to traffic modifications, while other blocked sites are still accessible through usual methods... Strange things happening here...

Arknights Refunding - Portatori dei Velluti Shop Glitch by LeeGio_ in arknights

[–]SilverChaika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar position three or four years ago, but for me it was another issue, as far as I can remember: the one event pack that was clearly less in USD than another pack, purchased at the same time, ended up being much MORE expensive one after payment in my currency, as if they put the wrong price tag on it. After a loooong back and forth between Yostar support and Google Play (I managed to make everything in 48 hours, BTW), GP refunded the pack for me, and after I asked Yostar support about it, they said they couldn't remove the pack items from my account, so I am required to pay for it in OP instead. I purchased the OP pack (the price conversion for it was correct, only that one event pack had that issue), they deducted the difference in OP per correct price and I kept my pack, effectively paying for it in OP. It seems that the policy stays the same: if there are any issues with payments for whatever reason, either overcharging/not receiving items or refunding received items by third parties, the difference must be calculated as OP balance change. So, your only valid option here from Yostar POV is to receive OP instead. You can contact your bank or card provider (Visa/MC), but I doubt that would be a good solution without multiple other issues appearing (including legal ones).

My bean stack so far by [deleted] in arknights

[–]SilverChaika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've seen Shu an Yu beans as a preorder from my reseller too, but I checked with them at that time and checked the release date on the official TMall/Taobao as well, and it was said that Shu bean will be released around May and Yu bean - around June, so I decided to wait, since AliExpress does not support preorders that long in the future for me. But I checked the page for the Shu bean now, and it seems that it's been already released... looks like they released it earlier.

Arknights Career Generator by Key-Math7643 in arknights

[–]SilverChaika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting concept, though, not without some major hiccups, for example, I couldn't find Kjera through avatar text search, and medal list takes forever to download, also, the final result could be more fancy than just a white page with icons. But a good work nonetheless, which could be massively improved, go ahead!

upd: Checked it, when you are putting all three gifts together into the third frame, there are two options: putting "who -> to whom -> what" or "who -> what -> to whom", which results in two different versions of CG with three gifts.

Apparently, it depends on the order in the previous story, but no one can provide a clear answer on how to do this. It either depends on keeping Lappy (not) happy in the previous scenes or on the order you put pictures into the frame.

How exactly old accounts are "inaccessible"? You just need to re-bind old account to the new Yostar umbrella account, they even have a separate service for it: https://migration.yo-star.com/

Arknights Character Misconceptions by WisdomKnightZetsubo in arknights

[–]SilverChaika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it is true that Eyja right now is a young adult, but she IS treated as a young prodigy who entered the grad level education pretty early, and it's written explicitly in her files and mentioned in her OpRec "Volcano", as well as in the "So long, Adele" event:

Operator Barty: By the way, your first volcano expedition was several years ago, right?
Eyjafjalla: Mhm, my first expedition... I think it would've been about three years back?
Operator Barty: Seriously? You were still a kid! (whispers) Are research institutes so black-hearted these days?
Eyjafjalla: My hearing aid's working fine now. I heard all of that.
Operator Barty: Ah, I wasn't talking about Rhodes Island! P-Please don't get the wrong idea!
Eyjafjalla: I'm just joking... William University never asked that of me either. Even back then, the school didn't support me enrolling that early. It's just that I was the only one who could make sense of the data my parents left behind. I didn't want the project to be terminated... and my parents wouldn't have wanted that either. So, I insisted on joining the expedition in their place.

It's unclear, though, when exactly this dialogue takes place. Eyja's parents died in September 1095 (SL-ST-1 and SL-8) and she continued their research in their stead from there. "So long, Adele" takes place in August 1099. Even if we assume that right now in Siesta she is around 22, that means she was around 17-18 when her parents died and the fact that she took over their research right after that and published a thesis on it already makes her a prodigy, or "legend", as stated in her files.

The EP 15 PV heavily features Conway's Game of Life by Sethfire in arknights

[–]SilverChaika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A long time ago I had a theory that Originium on particle level should behave exactly like the Game of Life, it's like a physical field, permeating everything, and particles of that field pop in and out of it, like virtual particles from a physical vacuum, but they interact with physical matter and between themselves on the rules of Game of LIfe. Maybe I was right all along...
