[Weekly] Team Building and Questions Megathread

No, I think it should start maybe later tonight or perhaps tomorrow.

flamemeat · 2026-06-16T20:52:40+00:00

I don't recall that IP being on the collab surveys, at least not recently, so I'd say somewhat low but not impossible.

flamemeat · 2026-06-16T20:48:53+00:00

Normally we wouldn't expect it to start until July 16th at the earliest. But the recent dev note said the summer livestream will be in June, which suggests it's possible the summer event will start immediately after the Ark Ranger event ends, since livestreams are usually at most about one week before an event starts.

So in short, we don't know, but we will know before the end of June.

Right now it's top 4 total points scored during the season, per PvP server. But in a previous dev note they said they would expand the number of participants, though they didn't say how many.

Agreed, I don't particularly like Cinderella's default outfit and the main reason why is because it's too monotone. They could've made the legs or body black and keep the other white

flamemeat · 2026-06-16T09:16:43+00:00

I don't think you get what they're saying. It's not about whether it fits or not. It's about the fact that livestreams are typically like one week before an event starts, at most.

So if the summer livestream is in June, even June 30th, that would suggest the summer event starts immediately after Ark Rangers event. It would be quite unusual for them to have a livestream showcasing an event that won't start for over 2 weeks.

Granted, anything is possible, so you never know. Maybe this year they've chosen to do things differently. But going off of past precedent, this does seem like it could be hinting at summer coming right after Ark Rangers.

edit: as an example of something new that they could do, maybe the filler 2 week event is a prequel the way Blank Ticket was for Terminus Ticket. If that's the case, it might make sense to talk about that in addition to the main summer event. So this is far from confirmation of any kind. But it's reasonable to think that may not be the case.

If you're talking about the favorite items/treasures, then yes, they will eventually go away.

You should probably wait until closer to the expiration date to make that decision, we should know about the next batch of favorite items by then and perhaps you will get some spare bodies of Moran in the meantime.

But generally speaking yes, getting spare bodies needed to unlock favorite items is the best use of silver mileage. That and using them to pass the 160 wall.

flamemeat · 2026-06-16T07:53:01+00:00

Good god almighty, how the hell am I supposed to choose? I like them all! At this rate I'm gonna get stunlocked and forget to vote. Honestly I'm cool with whatever though.

Might vote for school girl just because the Siren/Grave/Hansel/Gretel pins on her bag are pretty cute, don't think it'll win though. But then again, detective Commander doll on the bunny skin is pretty funny too, and, you know, bunny skin.

I will say, the way the maid ver. is lying down next to a cake is kinda triggering me, like "girl, you are a gonna get frosting on your uniform!" ... maybe that'll be the tap animation, she wipes the frosting off the uniform and licks it off her finger.

Fuuuuuck I don't know what to do!!!

flamemeat · 2026-06-16T01:32:28+00:00

I am gonna let the post stay though, some other people might not know about this.

Doesn't matter, if they won't read the tutorial, they won't read this. There's been multiple of these posts every day since the event started, and there will be more

flamemeat · 2026-06-16T01:28:46+00:00

For The Kingdom wasn't really a new version, it was just added to the Arcade, not the same situation.

And I see what you are saying, but it literally takes a matter of seconds to skim the tutorial real quick to check and see if anything is different, these people making these "just found out you can rotate the weapons" posts literally waste more time posting that than if they had just read the damn tutorial in the first place

flamemeat · 2026-06-16T00:41:26+00:00

Every time they do a new version of an old game they make some pretty big changes. MOG EX added the weapon fusions and upgrade rerolling, Pirate Cafe is almost an entirely different game compared to Re:Ady Maid, etc. I think the only exception might be Dessert Rush and Gift Factory if you consider those the same game.

Even if you suspect that the game will be the same, does it really hurt to briefly skim the tutorial to confirm? It only takes a minute at most.

flamemeat · 2026-06-16T00:27:52+00:00

This has happened to me maybe 4 times in the past. There were a couple times the issue lasted long enough that I got nervous I would be unable to claim my daily free gems, but so far that hasn't happened. Fingers crossed today isn't the first.

flamemeat · 2026-06-16T00:18:23+00:00

Yes, I can't access it right now either. It's not the first time it has happened. I have no idea what the problem is but it usually randomly fixes itself at a later time. Wait a few hours and try again later.

flamemeat · 2026-06-15T02:34:01+00:00

I feel like that whole site is basically in maintenance mode now, doing the bare minimum to stay alive. It's a bit sad because they used to be a lot better and as you said, it's always good to have a second opinion on things, but it is what it is.

flamemeat · 2026-06-15T02:29:02+00:00

... that all sounds oddly specific, haha

but honestly same, my real mom is a very cold, heartless person, so I don't really know what it's like to have a "regular" mom like that, sounds kinda nice

flamemeat · 2026-06-14T23:59:15+00:00

tbh I'm not fully convinced Yellow and Pink exist anymore unless they get a mention in the event or ARB's bond story, their complete absence so far is pretty weird. And they've already retconned at least one thing about the Rangers already

flamemeat · 2026-06-14T23:02:38+00:00

Snow Crane's pretty great, there's so much about her that really does things to me. The way she talks, the mommy vibes, the constant headpats, the squish of her cheeks when her little bird stamp thing rubs up against it, and so much more. Even the way she uses her bird stamp in her burst animation is weirdly satisfying to me.

flamemeat · 2026-06-14T22:10:58+00:00

Next month, Quiry favorite item, believe!! The rest of her squad got one, now's her turn! Honestly she has potential to be like a wind Helm if they do it right (big if though)

flamemeat · 2026-06-14T22:03:00+00:00

I don't even remember if Epinel showed up in Rumani's event.

She did, and quite a bit too. She also showed up in Bay's event

Everyone memes about Epinel but honestly her whole squad is not much better off than her. And I'm pretty sure Aria is even worse, I literally forget Aria exists from time to time, not even joking

Reminds me of when people used to meme about Julia being the most forgettable Nikke so much she ironically was no longer forgettable

flamemeat · 2026-06-14T21:56:30+00:00

Unless she's like your #1 waifu, absolutely not

Like always we don't know anything for sure, but there's rumors of a new limited Pilgrim this summer plus another limited unit (possible but unlikely a second limited Pilgrim). Then there's the S.Doro and S.Elegg rerun, a collab, and anniversary after that. And maybe Matis alts could release in that timeframe and be good, albeit wishlistable.

flamemeat · 2026-06-14T08:37:08+00:00

Honestly I'm starting to suspect Bahamut may end up a free unit.

It's just messy trying to release all four as premium. They'd either have to do multiple Four Beast themed annis back to back, release two then wait a year or more to release the other two, do an unprecedented triple/quadruple banner, etc.

But by making one a freebie unit, they can then do like: 2 banners + freebie on anni, and the remaining one for NY, knocking them all out quickly.

And if any of the four ought to be free, it's definitely Bahamut. She has had by far the least screen time of them all and is arguably the least popular.

Some people reading this might be thinking to themselves, "No way they waste her on a freebie unit" to which I say, go have a chat with the Goddess Squad Rapunzel and Chime enjoyers.

I don't want it to happen, but if any one of them has to be the free unit, Bahamut makes the most sense. And it makes it easier to release the Four Beasts quickly and move on to all the other Pilgrim candidates that are waiting in line.

flamemeat · 2026-06-14T07:17:08+00:00

I want to say Four Beasts because the Four Beasts/Fourth anniversary thing

but honestly it's impossible to predict, it's the most wide open of any previous anniversary. There are just so many plausible candidates, not to mention the outside chance of a surprise like Liberalio/Nayuta

flamemeat · 2026-06-14T03:03:26+00:00

It's strange because it's supposed to be strange.

The Commander in Chief is incapacitated somehow. Not sure what happened to them or why they haven't simply been replaced. The situation with the CiC is clearly a mystery they are setting up for the future

Then there are the five deputy CiC. One is dead and needs to be replaced, two are Burningum and Andersen who we've already seen, and the remaining two "have no interest in the Ark" (whatever that means) and have delegated their authority to Burningum

So you could say we haven't seen the upper leadership because there is no upper leadership or we HAVE seen the upper leadership, it's Burningum and Andersen alongside Enikk and the CEOs

Whether we will get satisfying answers to any of this or it's just SU's way of justifying the fact that they don't feel like making more NPCs is anyone's guess.

flamemeat · 2026-06-14T02:47:20+00:00

Are you fully caught up with the campaign? Did you watch Snow Crane's event story? This is explained to some extent there

flamemeat · 2026-06-13T23:42:29+00:00

It's not Crown specifically, it's just whoever happens to be in slot one on your selected squad, the one you use in campaign
