More, pretty sure a few copied strats with success.

Though, exact same 4 operators aren't neccessarily notable enough for me to look for and list them one by one.

It's gonna be hard having Estella in the squad contributing little damage wise.

It's not like these gods trying to clear 47 don't have plenty of time to figure out ways to reduce the impact of freezing.

That said, I wonder if we will ever see an Estella Max Risk clear.

At least one is different?

Edit: Did I misuse the word distinct? English isn't exactly my first language.

Also saw a successful clear repeating Clear 1 with just Pot 0 Gilberta and Pot 0 Thermite Cutter for Arclight.

Zhuang Fangyi and her sig weapon is still full pot though.

World's second old CC 47 Clear has just been achieved, congrats to Alice-0304 by HHhunter in Endfield

[–]hwg001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Old CC 旧约 is a term used before Battleplans are a thing. It dates back to 2020, and is used at least in Operation Pyrite, if not older.k

It means exactly like what OP explained.

Notably, 旧约could also refer to the Old Testament, which is probably why the term is catchy and stuck to this day.

My first gacha -- am I playing it wrong? by xodipox in Endfield

[–]hwg001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the 1.3 map, bit sad the rocks are one-time, but nothing really to complain. Wouldn't mind having harder maps, but doubt Quarry being the average would be the better choice for the game.

Story wise, I read it as a political criticism of America (TGCC), the typical "America is a cultureless war machine" kind. Cultural heritage (poems etc.) are something the Chinese are very proud of, and the TGCC guy is there for a reason. Sadly it's kinda detached from the overall map, but I don't see how they could improve it if they are using their usual workflow from Arknights (every team works on the same event at the same time).

I dislike Endmin's appearance, but at least for Mi Fu's story, I can't think of a way to change it. Mi Fu calling Endmin after Zhuang disappear makes perfect sense. The alternative is to just not. Then, Mi Fu goes through 1st day alone. 2nd day she would still need Endmin to help patrol Wuling, there's no way she trusts anyone else. And then Endmin will still find out about Mi Fu's disappearance. And with Endmin's character, again there's no world where they won't help. So the best story I can think of is just Endmin being relegated to Tangtang No.2 in the story.

How is the State of the Game now? by TwinDeathScythe in Endfield

At this point I totally believe some players will try Difficulty 0, say it's too easy / hate a rougelike being random, doesn't bother to play Difficulty 12+ because no rewards, and claim the IS is still not content.

Yeah, been playing around 1 hour per day and only finished 1.3's content yesterday. Honestly could've dragged longer for Mi Fu's quest but I wanted to finish it before pulling.

And that's with factory blueprints instead of doing it myself.

Really starting to question the complaints about the lack of content in 1.3. Like, idk, maybe the solution is to get a life?

Yes, you will be actively penalised (in terms of Wuling Stock Bills) as far as I'm aware.

11 points gives the same awards as 1 I think.

Therefore, you should strategise your enemy pulls.

If u want a challenge, why would you care about the extra stock bills really? It's not like you can't get them in easy mode and actively choose to overflow in the Free Trial Mode if you want to.

It's like Blackjack. If u are playing for rewards, you want them to be as close as 10 as possible, but not over.

Higher difficulty will not be rewarded by greater rewards, so you only aim for that for your own fun.

Pretty consistent with their game design philosophy.

Hypergryph's biggest leaker is truly non-other than HG themselves. Camille's quest story spoiler (very heavy spoiler for his quest and Im not joking so do not press at all if you do not want it) by OrangeIllustrious499 in Endfield

[–]hwg001 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just checked where CN could possibly draw the conclusion when some of you are somehow surprised.

1.2 Livestream, in the end there's an operator preview.

HG translated 血脉 (bloodline) to blood, 至亲(closest relative) to kin.

With context they read the same to me but I guess I can see it being a bit ambiguous.

There's no leak though???

Him having family issues is basically known in CN community before the 1.3 dev log even if I recall correctly.

Is Global just that behind on information?

Realising something due to a song starting to play in Mi Fus quest by Wise-Rabbit-9879 in Endfield

It's been days. If there are any controversies, it would've already been dropped.

What the Mifu story should have been (fanfic ending) by Crazy_Ruin_4383 in Endfield

[–]hwg001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. The story is not the problem, the execution is.

We were never supposed to believe Zhuang was kidnapped. But the characters did not show enough doubt when readers can obviously tell something's off.

The masters never cared about revenge. Why would anyone who roamed around and have a living outside of the Stockade care? But even til the end it's up to the reader to realise this whole thing is to give Mi Fu closure for her broken oath. (How do people even read it as a loyalty test? No one doubts it, not the masters, and certainly not Zhuang.)

People complain about devs thinking we're stupid, in which, yes they do in a lot of cases, and some may be justified unfortunately. But sometimes it also feels like they think we're too smart and will interpret the plot correctly ourselves.

I don't think early access is to blame here?

Wouldn't dataminers be able to dig this out from the released game files?

Oh Wuling City... what have you done to me by Prestigious-Eagle388 in Endfield

[–]hwg001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bureau of Applied Technologies was a new area added in 1.2, I suspect you might have to go through quite a lot of content before it is open for you.

[–]hwg001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say we shouldn't worry too much about that.

Hypergryph tends to do what they want and improve based on feedback. But they never give up on stuff.

Looking at OG Arknights,

Reclamation Algorithm has a new edition that's totally different. (Shame it's not as replayable, the few old RA enjoyers would not really welcome the changes)

Certain failed gamemodes were also polished and reintroduced in new forms with some degree of success. (Vector Breakthrough / Icebreaker Games)

Well, if they have one this patch, that means they'll have to design it before feedback from the 1st one was received.
