Arknights
Last day of the Zillingstürme im Herbst event. Remember to do any stages in the event if you haven't already. Il Siracusano rerun up next, then Degen event afterwards.
How are your pulls plans forward, got anyone in particular you're planning on pulling or get up to a certain pot?

Is Doc really beyond any chances of redemption and freeing himself from further suffering? And if he regains his pre-amnesia memories then definitively he'll take a blade, take a car, drive out of Rhodes Island off to some middle of nowhere and contemplate suicide.
After the Babel event, it's clear that only friggin time travel would allow him to fix all the shit that happens in the game.

Depends how far your "not super far" is. If you've got good chunk of ops developed, stick with them. Even if you get some modern meta rerolling it wont get you far without investments so it will be a loose in the long run.

Drop Siege near the crossroad immediately where the first enemies appear.
Quickly drop Spot next to the 2nd lane if you have enough DP. Also drop a medic near them.
You need an Executor class operator to quickly drop on the lane down to block the Senior Casters long enough to deploy Hung on said lain. So drop Rangers and put in Gravel if you have her.
Put Platinum and Diamante near Siege and drop in Ethan.
Remember that there should be complete medic cover because the upper lane will have a Senior Caster appearing.
BTW, drop Lappland a tile further from Hung.

Everyone wants Talulah at one point to be playable.
I on the other hand want the story to reveal that she became Queen of Victoria, but instead of limiting herself to a puppet queen, she goes full queen and pushes reforms that not only makes the lives of Infected folks better, but also forcing safety regulations in factories that would at least greatly limit the number of infections. Not to mention recreating Gaul and Tarant, but as vassal states (yet with enough autonomy to keep their cultures intact).

Ideally, you should've joined at or before the MonHun collab at the least, since it had one of the most busted characters in the game and gives you more than enough time to build up your roll currency, but right now is your best time. The R6S collab is one of a handful of limited events, and it also happens to have Ela, a meta character that is perfect for newbies. If you join now, or at least before 19, you can nab her and maybe even another meta character (Surtr) from the standard banner.

Doc (You) did nothing wrong though.
Your race spent millennia observing the rise and fall of countless civilisations, the birth and destruction of planets and galaxies. Their final conclusion was that everything is meaningless and they couldn't escape from the inevitable. Originium was the final solution your entire race with their millennia of experience came up with, but somehow the ideals of a cute pink haired girl can trump the inevitable?

Doc did a shitload of bad stuff he now regrets and the Ancient's plan of turning Terra and everything organic into a planetoid chunk of not!Tyberium is also probably futile due to the eldritch aliens the doc described as lumberjacks out of nowhere probably would tank with ease whatever the Ancients wanted to throw at them.

Like most gatchashit you can play Arknights for free if you play casually, and the free rolls will pile up over time if you're checking in regularly. Also like most mobile games I would say whether you spend or not Arknights the game is basically designed to be enjoyed for shorter sessions, like maybe an hour a day. If you'd rather sit down to a game for 6+ hour sessions then you're better off on other platforms. Good luck, friend.

This is more of a general statement than a response to that post but I really don't mind a little whaling in this. I don't go buying OP or anything but I used to pick up the occasional pack on top of the monthly card since I was aware that it was keeping me from spending money on other shit. It would be one thing if I were looking at it in a vacuum or if the gacha were as greedy as the average Mihoyo game, but with it being fairly generous, it getting regular substantial content updates, and it not requiring any attention to grind/farm it finally helped me quit playing MMOs (so far) for good and kept me from wasting my time and occasionally money on random games I didn't really care that much about. It's been a great novelty drip feed and since I started playing it's probably saved me way more money on random bullshit entertainment than I would've spent otherwise.

Is anyone playing on CN who could confirm something about the base QoL changes for me?
I just saw picrel showing that timers until fully rested are no longer shown in operator assignment. I've seen video showing that timers until zero morale are shown if you tap a working facility in the overview screen, so does it show everyone's timers until full if you select a dorm in overview in the same way?
I couldn't find a shot of that in any video about the updates and I'm trying to figure out how this affects me. I set timers for my daily base rotation based on those, so either it's visible by operator on the overview and streamlines setting timers a little, or it's gone and I should pay attention to how long they are. The latter isn't the end of the world since they're usually consistent within a few minutes but it would be nice not to have to commit the average to memory to stay accurate.

He's pretty cool from what I've seen and tried. I still need to see what s3m3 does for me since I cleared the story stages while he was in training but I might keep running Abyssal Hunters for the EX stages just for shits.

S2 turns him permanently for the rest of the stage into a rapidly regenerating tank with his health massively increased after he charges it up.
That's pretty good. It also increases his damage. So if you want this to work well at level 3, you should max him out to level 90.

It should streamline the hell out of that process not having timed raid pressure.

Meanwhile I pulled randomly for her and got her, IIRC. Single 10 pull, just like the Bloodborne guy a while ago.
Arknights and most mobile games are total shit to be honest. I initiated my account deletion today and in a few weeks the account will be gone. I've come to realize the game's a horrible skinner box and I've now reached the point where even ISW isn't fun anymore, due to how everything in AK and the mode is designed. I am sick of not having all characters available and even the ones I do have and are "maxed" aren't fully reinforced yet.
Only way I'll ever play this dumpster fire of a "game" again is if some guy comes up with a new private server client for PC or as apk.
People who play these games and defend the entire F2P/gacha monetization as a whole are deluded niggers. Almost as deluded as the average 4chan user these days, as no doubt someone will seethe about me saying nigger "outside of /b/". Few years ago no one gave a shit still, but this website and its moderation have also gone downhill since 2016. Gook moot can suck it.
For anyone reading this, in case my reply stays up in this rather dead thread, don't start playing AK too if you're interested. It's a garbage chink game that's dime a dozen. Any sort of positives like the "lore" and shit you could come up with is drowned out by the fact it's a game that's F2P trash, which does not value your time and neither your money really, as you could spend 10x off what the game could/should cost as a pay-to-play game, and you'd still only get a single character out of it.
Game could've been 40 bucks, but nah. It's F2P trash where you can spend $400 and only get a single guaranteed limited-time character out of it.
Never spent a single cent on AK and I am glad for it. I'm just sad that ISW is stuck inside of that retarded-ass game.

No, true. I forgot the numbers, but compared to something like Azur Lane you get around 1/3 the pulls, at most. On Slop Lane you get roughly 25-30 pulls a week (50-60 cubes) from everything including event rewards, comms, etc.
On AK you're barely scraping by most of the time. The only time you get a decent amount of currency is during those special events, like the anni and half anni, with often a full pull+ a day in currency alone and a free pull on a banner.
I've played AK for about 16 months and I've simply had enough. I am not a loser and will save up for 1 big pull every 6/12 months like I'm a peasant. On AL I've been pulling on every banner at least 50 times, often 60-70, and I had no issues affording that past an initial saving and screwing up period of around 3~ months after I started playing that game. In several years I've only ever missed out on about 8 characters, and 5-6 of those where from that initial period. The other 3 I've missed out on because I was either too low for comfort or couldn't be asked to drop another 100 cubes for potentially nothing. Very rarely I'd get very unlucky on that game, and very rarely I'd get very lucky. Most of my time I'd get average luck, as one you'd expect. And average luck isn't an issue when you get about 25 pulls a week and rates are 7% + 2% most of the time, as AL revolves around SRs which are 7% and 2% rate up. So not only do you get more pulls in AL, you have way better chances as well. 9% as UR characters are rare to get added. Even then URs are 2.4%. I don't care about FGO and its 0.0000000007% rates.
>just say AK is your first gacha XDD

Exactly. They try to gaslight people into thinking loyalty is rewarded, like via those "thank you for your continuous love for AK!" mails you sometimes get, where they'll give you a few random materials and 1/3 of a single pull in currency. Best thing is that all mail you get has an expiry date. So much for "loyalty". The amount of extra currencies and ways to level and whatever is beyond infuriating.
Also regarding me glazing Azur Lane, as much I think the gacha is way better than what AK has to offer, it's still shitty gacha in the end and AL has by far the worse gameplay. AL is a waifu collector in the end and the whole way the dock works is gay. Dock space being limited is semi-okay, but there being no temporary holding dock for sortieing and the gacha pulls is stupid. I always keep 100-200 slots free just to not have to worry about cleaning things out every other battle. What kept me around with AL was shitposting in global chat. It kept me "playing" and spending. What kept me around with AK was ISW, but it has reached the point now where I simply don't have fun anymore and I am more so annoyed at how I am limited in how and with whom I can play. I don't like the stupid The Sands mode, I don't like the stupid VN or anything else. I genuinely hope some guy will make another private, updated client of AK one day so I can go back to playing ISW how it was intended to be played.

Obviously it's pure greed. And the saddest thing is to think about the devs. I'd like to imagine that a lot of them despise the game they've made, as it's gacha shit that'll never live up to what it could've been. But I know that in reality a lot of these people probably not only do not mind, but likely think the game's great actually, because they too grew up with that sort of game and got used to the predatory practices.
>Releasing operators with def/res ignore and true damage was their greatest mistake.
Yeah, it seems that every other 6* that releases now is a walking fortress. Shu is a great example of a defender which is entirely busted. Tons of healing and other buffs while no downside to the block count or other things. Meanwhile operators like Aurora still exist for some fucking reason. A character which is entirely useless on her own and is still outclasses by other 5*s even when she has a proper setup w/ support.
I liked using non-6* characters, but the game heavily pushes you towards them where you'll eventually have to give in and start using them. 6*s have next to no downsides. They're the de facto operators to play with. It would've been better to just have "regular" characters and then "special" characters, where 6* = special and everything else = regular. But this way you're almost being actively punished for trying to use 5* ops at all. You're better off never using them and just sticking to the 6* slop and the few decent 4* characters there are.

Instead they're gacha slop and nothing more.
And don't worry, I'm sure they'll churn out some 12 ep anime season eventually..

the red one tablet don't need to be played on the bench to activate if they're maxed out. buy all three and then end the round without playing it.
same goes for the stage two tablet of that type, max that and don't play it. stage 3 does require being played but wait before playing it until you actually need the points to progress to the next round.
once you get used to that combo you'll be able to breeze through the final stage and endless mode as well.

How do you guys like IS5? I think it's pretty fun. I know it doesn't really count since I took Wis'adel as a starter, but I'm still pretty shocked that I got a clear on my first attempt going in totally blind. Maybe I just got lucky in what stages and midboss I got, but it feels to me like it's way more flexible in who you take, while in IS4 I think I eventually came to regret it on any run where I didn't have Reed Alter either as a starter or as a fairly early build.
Who are you using for starters? I'd rather leave Wis'adel benched so I'm not just letting one op carry everything but there must be some really strong picks since free 4* and cheaper 5* ops opens it up so much.

That's a recent addition from whenever they updated base stuff. It shows when you have all skills on a support op at m3. So in picrel Canta/Jaye/Rafaela are m6, both Virtuosas and the first Wis'adel are m9.
And yeah, you can switch skills and modules on any operator as of the same patch. It was a godsend because I didn't have the 4-block module on my Hoshi or Nian and desperately wanted it for a couple stages last event.

Pramanix has one of those gimmicks that sounds broken on paper but probably isn't that useful or good in practice.

The ice has an hp bar and I'd wager it takes time to refresh. So in the places where you'd most value leveraging turning the goals into tanks that can block enemies like high risk cc won't work that well because the types of enemies you'd want to stall will kill the blocks in one or two attacks and leak.
Silverash looks interesting but I think we'll have to wait and see what he does in practice. could be the most op bullshit ever or he could be kind of mid, I could see him ending up either way right now.
