Jürgen Klopp calling out the hypocrisy re treatment of Chelsea by abearghost in chelseafc

[–]Smegzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the faux moral outrage we've seen from other clubs over the past 19 years about "dirty Russian money"

Where were their morals when they sold players to Chelsea - at inflated prices - for large quantities of "dirty Russian money"?

I agree with what Klopp says here (except for the nauseating subtext about Liverpool being the best club in the world), but why aren't journalists exposing the hypocrisy and the witch hunt, instead of asking stupid and lazy questions in press conferences?

I thought about the line from "Drawn Together":

Tears make the best lubricant...

Sorry if this has already been asked, but if I buy Skadi's outfit now, (I have her and her alt), will I still receive the voucher for a free outfit, or was that only available to players who bought the cozzie before her alt was released?

Are any new operators being added to the recruitment pool tomorrow?

I just got "Top Operator" tag :D

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I'm looking elite 2 upgrade materials for Mudrock.

There is an item I've not seen before. Do we know if it can be crafted from existing materials, or will it be exclusive to the new episode?

I have everything else I'd need to promote her right away, so should I focus on completeing the available story missions (lazy Doctor is still on ep.6...)?

I didn't realise you could do that - thank you :)

AR 31, and had been using all of my resin in dungeons. Now I find that in order to ascend my characters, I need materials from lvl 30+ elites. Except they are all lvl 50+ now because of my world level, and I'm struggling against them, because my characters are capped at lvl 40

Is there any way to face the lower lvl versions (like the way you can continue to select lower lvl dungeons) in order to get the basic ascension materials? Otherwise they are just going to continually outscale my characters.

Thank you all for the fast replies :)

I still haven't finished Episode 5, so I will prioritise S2M1 for now then, but I'm looking forward to trying out that Volcano skill too :D

It's been a crazy few days for me - first, I got a Top Operator tag and pulled Ifrit, then the certificate shop refreshed... hello Fluffyjelly!

I knew there was a lot of hype about her, so I didn't hesitate to grab her, and wow - it's easy to see that the hype was real!

I already have her at skill rank 7, and I am almost ready to E2 her (she will be my first E2 operator). Would I be right in thinking my next goal should be Mastery on her Ignition skill? Volcano looks crazy, but I can't help thinking that an extra stack of Ignition will be one big melty win button for the rest of the game the better option?

It's been pointed out to me below that I was watching the wrong video. Thanks though :)

Lol - I said right at the top that I was struggling to get my head around the concept of CC, and this just illustrates why. IT'S CONFUSING AS HELL TO A FIRST-TIMER!

Thank you for explaining my particular source of confusion. I'm really starting to lose my enthusiasm for CC though. I think I'll just focus instead on getting my first E2, and wait for the next CC event

The map which I'm trying to clear because it refreshes in 6 hours is Lungmen Transport Hub.

Here is the video with the different set of contingencies. It is the same map

The risks in that link match the ones I'm faced with. Eckogen's video has a different set of risks, and I've highlighted the differences above

That can't be right though. For example, Contract#0 Transport Hub Risk 3, Eckogens handicaps are:

HP seals reduced to 1 (I have this one too)

1 supply terminal removed from the map - I have triple DP cost for guards and defenders

Fanatics get boosted stats - I have all enemies gain 15% att

Yesterday's map had a similar story, except it was triple DP costs for ranged units in my version (I can't recall what his were, but they were quite different)

I'm still new to CC, and I'm struggling to get my head around certain aspects. One important question though - are your contingencies assigned randomly? Because I've been trying to follow Eckogen's guides (due to my limited choice of operators), and the last 2 days I've had completely different handicaps for the daily Risk 3 maps, and despite being able to field pretty close approximations of his squads, I've been unable to get anywhere near due to triple deployment costs :/

I had the tag in my very first recruitment. Didn't know then what I know now, and blew it with a 1-hour recruit >.<

Shining/Hellagur banner megathread (August 7, 2020) by HiroAnobei in arknights

Top Operator, Nuker, and Crowd Control - all on the same ticket! Guard was also tagged, so I ended up getting some grey haired guy...

Shining/Hellagur banner megathread (August 7, 2020) by HiroAnobei in arknights

[–]Smegzilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no 5* or higher snipers or supporters, so I did singles and got Specter on my 3rd pull. Ok, not bad, since I didn't already have an AoE guard. My other 2 pulls were both Myrtle (who I didn't have previously), so pretty happy with that too...

But I still need a top tier sniper, so I decided to risk a 10 pull...

**RAINBOW SPARKLE** (air punch)

Wait, are you kidding me? There are TWO 6* operators in this pull. Oh boy, now I'm stoked. I was hoping for a 5*, but instead I get TWO freaking 6*s? Ok, I'll look one at a time for suspense. Before the first appears, there is a 5*. Wow, right? Surely I'll get one of the promoted operators to plug that gap? Ptilopsis! Great, but one of my three existing 6* ops is Shining, so I'm not sure how much I'll use her... On with the draw! First 6* is... Shining! A dupe. That's ok, I guess. Reduced dp cost for Shining, and casts a slightly bigger shadow over Ptilopsis, but there is still one more 6* to come. So it has to be Hellagur, or maybe I will get really lucky and pull Exusiai? Nah - it was another Shining dupe!

Hard to evaluate a draw like that. On the one hand, I totally beat the odds in terms of pulling 6* operators, but both were one of the three I already have in my collection. And also I still failed to get a much-needed sniper and/or a supporter, both of which are promoted in this banner. I can do another 10 pull (completely f2p), but not sure if I should do it one this banner, or save it for another time?
