#Arknights: Endfield

Managed to convince my Hearthstone-playing friend to pick it up
By saying "Druid is in this game and it's awful"
nimble parrot
Some friends were bringing up the game with the terrible name
Neverness to Everness
As trying to solve the open world boredom
With car racing & all that
queen crow
there is no way to solve it
which is why it works for single player games
collect things. move on.
the plant/rock system you have to interact with every 4 days is endfields "solution" to get out
fast root
The solution is what MMOs have been doing forever which is to add some borderline infinite grind aspect.
Gacha games just lock that behind Stamina/Energy/Sanity so it doesn't actually work though
fast root
Just give us Roguelite content like the OG Arknights
honest lark
They could make rotating boss fights daily with a leader board
And time trials
That too
Random dungeons daily
That's why I said ai and llm is useless
So much new tech
Still so static
queen crow
useless for what
honest lark
In making dynamic non deterministic daily content
Imagine being so autistic u spent hours trying to get a flying Zipline
queen crow
its neat
but what purpose does it serve
i could understand if we could drop infinite ziplines
but were stuck with 40

i dont think you can make any shortcuts this way

I mean if we could make ziplines in the sky
Then u just take the last one down to where u gotta be

Meanwhile if an Endfield character gets their head underwater they die instantly

gta san something
honest lark
nimble parrot
Why u say that
Because even though the game looks great, it feels like ak themed rather than be a real sequel
Gameplay is so far a pretty big negative feedback loop
Rather than a positive
Negative loop -> Everything is centered around one party & feeds off of only what that party does
Positive loop -> Things play off of 2 or more parties. Actions are determined by the actions of others.
These action games suffer from negative loops with their static rotation format
Endfield initially positioned itself to not be like that, but they leaned way more into it for the final release
honest lark
Endfield initially positioned itself to not be like that, but they leaned way mo...
Was it different?
I feel there needs to be more multiplayer content
nimble parrot
Game was slower with skill aiming & no dodges
They abandoned the idea for this one
But even this one would work but it would be more dependent on how they design kits & enemies
The prevalence of rotation based buff stacking hypercarries is kind of showing it didn’t work
fast root
They haven't committed to making endgame purely be a DPS check so at least they have room to fix things there
Poison gas is a good example of something they can do to make people play differently
Along with the possibility of just making enemies that are genuinely threatening

no shit but like
the fuck do I do
I'm broke on resources as is
she isn't even going to clear more comfortably or faster then Laev
there is no content that demands a team for ice or any element for that matter
I'll end up using for a bit with cope teams cuz I'm not pulling gilberta
and then just switch back to laev for comfort anyway
cuz laev is 100 times better for dailies

no but like
what's the point of pulling these characters
when they're expensive as fuck to raise
and there's no content demanding them
it's legit

So if Rossi is cut from the same cloth then she's on the chopping block too?
Almost typed "cute" instead of "cut" out of habit here
Rossi is in my head

this isn't even about Yvonne sucking anymore
there's just no point in making more teams period unless you want to be broke or downgrade yourself for a temporary different expereince

I doubt they're just going to leave us devoid of endgame for too long
queen crow
have almost everyone to 60

I am fine with waiting to see how Yvonne teams shape in the future
but
if that future is Mi Fu and random ice 6* men
that future is looking bleak as of the moment
fast root
I've already decided the worst case scenario is the game stays too easy and I start emulating Enjel
By either playing solo Rossi for all content or playing Rossi + Endmin
hidden bough
gonna be really hard to keep myself from pulling in 4 days
especially since the 60 pull mark will give a free 10x for a banner I care about too
I just highly doubt 1.1 will have enough pulls to get all 3

supple sundial
and that shit is so sleeper that i won't bother
I'll finish it cause this may be the last standard pulls we ever get xd
it's also pretty fast
just gotta speedrun the story part
to open up every area
then u can quickly farm thru the missions
oh wait xaihi can heal?
i never used her just doin her trial that i forgot to do
so ice team has 2 heal sources
thats nice
clear phoenix
cause i have gilberta

we using her for healing be real
supple sundial
did i say it's uber high heal?
i said ice team has 2 heal sources
where was the lie
clear phoenix
supple sundial
also i do think ardelia is better
gil is better for grouping if you need
but ig the higher sus can be good for single target too
both have their pros and cons

and that shit is so sleeper that i won't bother
it took me 2 days
and that was not forcing myself to speed run it
it can be done in 1
supple sundial
aye it's fast
hidden bough
it's very straightforward
people assume the worst when they see the go back in and back out gameplay
like they'll need to do it 100 times
but realistically it was like less than 20
I didn't even know what I was doing ahead of time
only way to get stuck is to literally not pay any attention to the mission requirments
queen crow
in and out in under ... 3 minutes?
i can basically trace the path in my head
to the last boss
hidden bough
well to be fair
part of it is because
we don't have the full mode yet
more areas exist but they're gated
supple sundial
if they give area update or track reset every patch then this will be the standard tix income source
and that would be fine
hidden bough
the only thing the mode is missing
is a way to backtrack missed chests
if I missed any
I'm pretty sure I didn't
but there's always a chance
they'll prob add that feature in the future
mental birch
you're doing it wrong
you can get in through the back

oh ange was 37 pulls
okay

My dumbass went for her sig without bothering to read it
Mostly because I hadn't sat down and looked at what Arsenal Token income would be
I just saw I had a lot of it and said "yeah this is fine"
Luck was on my side for it, but I'll try not to tempt fate in the future
(Lying through my teeth because I will be pulling Rossi sig almost no matter what)
supple sundial
My dumbass went for her sig without bothering to read it <:GinHeh:92467114889197...
tbh the ult recharge might just make it better than stanza specifically for avy team
where the rota is strict enough that you want her ult on time
but you could just make up for it with artificing
shes running xira set anyway
also i think i'll buy deto unit
it's probably the best generic support arts wep for inflictors

It's weird seeing DMG% being more saturated than Attack%
Even in HSR where it would sometimes happen, I never got used to it
supple sundial
It's weird seeing DMG% being more saturated than Attack%
it's thanks to atk% working differently in this game because how attributes work
also thanks to characters not having atk boosts in their kit in general

this wep is pretty damn good value
even if you wont use it for now
who knows when it will be back

i'd rather rossi there if i must
but ye i knew the male majority wouldnt last in phys
tbh dapan is prolly even better than endmin now
cuz with this lifeng ult speeds up so stack is faster
and you can proc faster
and panda stacks too
idk i dont really wanna invest panda either
copper flint
I don’t wanna invest in da pan when endmin has 3 potentials left
But who knows when those potentials come

My good F2p experience definition is being able to afford pity atleast once every patch while also being in control of your resources (pull currency), both of which Endfield is NOT doing (if 1.1 pull currency stays the same).
60 pulls + not being able yo choose to go for weapons is such a scuffed gacha system and I can't believe HG somehow outdone and made something worse than Genshin.
mental birch
I expect only to guarantee a char once every other patch
that's industry standard in my mind
modest knoll
I mean if yout bar is that low then ig, but I believe we deserve more as a player
mental birch
60 pulls x2 fulfills that and that's enough for a weapon pity
modest knoll
or maybe I just love HSR and it spoiled me too much with the 100s of pulls they keep giving
mental birch
this is what genshin and zenless has always felt like to me
still better than uma
where the expectation for f2p if they want to compete in pvp is saving 600 pulls (3 full pity) for banners like half a year later
modest knoll
60 pulls x2 fulfills that and that's enough for a weapon pity
except its not like genshin and the guarantee is 7 times tho which just exacerbates the issue (how is this even a thing )
mfw we saving up for 7 patches just to guarantee a sig weapon for a waifu
mental birch
I don't understand where you're getting 7 patches of pulls is equal to a sig from
modest knoll
its worse case scenario where player loses weapon 7 times
fast root
Honestly I get the feeling we're better off than HSR and Genshin. Probably looking to still be better than Genshin income. Less than HSR but we also get "free" sig pulls here and sigs are almost mandatory in HSR to feel like you have a full character.
Kind of depends how important sigs feel here since the weapon banner is the weird part

wtf do u mean. hsr is the fucking worst powercreep city with new path every year and the f2p options are cope af so you have to roll the new LCs. relic system is ABYSMALLY BAD. definitely the worst out of any gacha i played. major benefit is low upkeep, fast events and endgame not being much of an issue if all ur interested are the pulls (and you ignore low cycle clears and AA)
but hsr is awful if you wanna take it "seriously"
and since it has no open world and the story is mid af theres nothing else the game can offer really

I dont even play endgame in hsr and I still had chonky ahh pull resources, life is easier when you dont care about it
meanwhile in genshin and endfield I feel like a goddamn peasant
supple sundial
endfield peasantry makes sense
1.0
scarce resources
lots of chars to level and try
feelsbad
same with any new gacha
but genshin?
wtf are u doin that ur peasanting
after all these years
modest knoll
nah fr if the pull leaks are true for ake 1.1 being 60 pulls this game is cooked 🥀
well see
modest knoll
scarce resources
its actually opposite tho? we had like 150 pulls except thats to be expected, even genshin had chonky pulls at release, its "honey moon" phase
anyways, this wouldnt be such an issue for me if they just let me pick to gacha weapons directly with resources like a normal gacha game would

by resoruces i meant upgrade mats
i thought thats what u meant by peasant
modest knoll
nah its the gacha ofc
supple sundial
nah its the gacha ofc
ah yea okay
endfield gacha blows
sayin this as someone who got mad luck
but lets see how they do it in the next couple patches
but hsr is not better xd
at all
endfield doesnt have any endgame yet
you can clear with free chars cuz no harsh timer
modest knoll
the poor souls playing this game simping more than 2 floozy waiting 10 patches just to guarantee sig weapons because of the risk of losing weapons 7 times

if u apply hsr's lc reliancy then ye thats fucked
but we dont even see how the meta will shape up
and whether sigs are even needed
or just a luxury
if theres no hard endgame then whats the point of sigs
besides drip

bruh i aint using non sig weapons for my favorite girl, thats peasant behaviour

the blueprint for twitch thots
tho ig the cookie drama (which this gif is related to) is what the general public might know her from most
modest knoll
Says simp who almost missed moon wife's sig
I worked my ass off for that and I still pulled through, cant do that with endfield because I WILL lose 7 times
supple sundial
cause that went beyond the twitch circles
but ye legendary
calling her simps idiots and broke
modest knoll
I saw that gif once in reddit gacha thread and I never forgot how good it was to use
supple sundial
peak thot behavior
i lived for this drama so much
and the fact that ppl takeaway was this
and most ppl dont even remember or know that the cookie drama was about her stealing another cookie for her own brand and calling it " refined version so not stealing" and then sold it for 7dollars a bag that had FOUR cookies in it
girlie was greedy af
but ig this is still better than bathwater
and if the simps bought it good for her
modest knoll
seems like typical corpo stuff tbh
supple sundial
aye
imo simps are stupid fucks
so if they let themselves be exploited like this they deserve it
modest knoll
its just western equivalent of east asian idol culture tbh
supple sundial
the world is ruled by stupid men
and stupid men are ruled by waifus
this is why i never understood feminism
i mean i get it
ugly women wont get power
while ugly men do get power
so yea that's not rlly fair
modest knoll
but hey who am I to judge I'm literally subscribed to 6 vtubers
supple sundial
i could never get into this parasocial thing
modest knoll
although the reasons I have is a bit different
modest knoll
they help me sleep with their asmr so I technically dont even "watch" them in the literal sense
meanwhile no real person asmr because even the sight of a person's face makes me cringe and prevent me from sleeping

Imagine not doing raids day 1 of a new expansion
fast root
for a sec it looks to me like shes taking the cookie out of her mouth
Same
Also proud to say I had no idea that was Pokimane
Anyway, we've already gotten like 200 pulls this expansion so I'm skeptical that we'll only have Genshin amounts of pull income. Very good chance those estimates are significantly underestimating event income since Arknights was exceptionally good about that.

maybe they finally realize that leaks and roadmaps are good for public opinion
instead of just letting the public blindly trust them they'll do well
but oh noooo roadmaps require promises and commitment
sooooooo scaaaaaaryyyyyy
the one thing a company can't make itself fuckign do

sharp yarrow
maybe they finally realize that leaks and roadmaps are good for public opinion
Believe it or not, a lot of players in the genre like planning ahead
So they don't get fucked by a bad decision and quit
Leaks also improve performance of current banners
mental birch
Believe it or not, majority of players are casuals that don't
Any space where you are even talking about the game is already a minority position
I'm pro leaks but I'm not gonna blindly shill it as all pros no cons, the negative risk of them is on the company side so I understand why they care and you don't but you have to see it in the first place
fast root
Given how the gacha is set up, it feels like they're working extra hard to exploit people who don't plan ahead, so I could see them being extra stingy with drip marketing just to make sure we have even less tools to plan ahead with.
mental birch
being stingy with drip marketing isn't some plan to make you have less tools with plan ahead with, they're stupid not evil
leaks in essence is more a matter of control considering leakers aren't employees and have no vested interest in presenting leaks in a favourable way or in a finished state and don't care if they misrepresent elements of future content that make the company look worse when you don't get what you expect
see: everyone thinking that latest fake leak had mountain because the guy mistranslated fjall
fast root
I'm not saying they'll give us nothing
I just think we won't be getting the characters names/roles/elements a patch ahead of time here
mental birch
there's no world I see where there's a real timegate where this matters
if only because I'm used to building every character I pull in arknights a patch later than when I pulled them in because I never prefarm
there's no true stamgate in prefarm here cause the bulk of it is just having essence coolant
all mats are pretty much universal
and if it's just knowing if you need to wait for certain team holes you can wait until the end of a banner to see the next
supple sundial
these fucks really gave gil healing int scaling when shes a will main scaler and gave arde healing will scaling when shes an int scaler
fucking clowns
at least the will scaling makes sense on arde cuz will boosts healing anyway
but wtf am i gonna do with int scaling on gil
nothing
so essentially she has no healing
mental birch
thematic with how ange was in ak
supple sundial
is it?
mental birch
she healed but only a bit so never enough to rely on as a main healer
supple sundial
ange had global passive healing
gil can only heal the onfield char
and that heal isnt even continuous
just 1 instance of like 80 hp
mental birch
I'd argue they're equally useless as stat anyway
will only boosts healing received inherently
arde support is getting as much out of that as gil getting arts dmg reduction with int
fast root
and if it's just knowing if you need to wait for certain team holes you can wait...
We both know people are not going to be that patient
mental birch
realistic example, zenless, we usually only know upcoming 4 chars, I don't need to know cissia is an electro attacker now or even earlier + her nums because I have enough knowledge to evaluate it on the day she drips or comes out
(they don't want you caring about the nums anyway)
I'm pulling promeia purely on the hopes she's ramlethaling that cape and on aesthetics
and they're dripping her through the story like how they want you to want fangyi in ake
supple sundial
arde support is getting as much out of that as gil getting arts dmg reduction wi...
gil has decent scalings tho
on her dmg
mental birch
doesn't that make gil int more valuable at least
mental birch
sure but you take what you can get
mental birch
in comparison to arde's sub att scaling
supple sundial
tho i might just stop after lifeng
probably better to level more chars to try them and stuff
than to minmax lifeng
but i kinda wanna see what he can do with the build finished
since hes apparently outdpsing endmin on p4
which would open up a nice byebye endmin if i had ember for onfield
mental birch
I'm building out LR team now instead of finishing lae (2 etch lines left)
I mean it's really only shift wulf -> xaihi and maybe decide if I want to artifice support gear ult lines
since I can use akekuri/arde same except I kind of want to have the excuse to build perlica too
everything delays me getting to build phys team
last sluice
(they don't want you caring about the nums anyway)
Don't worry. Players will look at Prydwen calcs then lose 30% of the DPS through sheer misplay
fast root
realistic example, zenless, we usually only know upcoming 4 chars, I don't need ...
Knowing the next 2 characters and their roles means you can decide how you feel about them vs. the current banner before the current banner actually ends

game is unoptimized
it doesn't need a 16 gig ram requirment
but it only has it cuz they know they failed to optimize it properly
I can still run it with 8 and play normally
just can't run chrome or stream it on discord without noticeable lag spikes

but
what do you lose if you move to dx11
I want my flourite to be shiny and hot when she's wet

The game seems to have memory leaks at certain points it seems
Youre not the only one, for me it happens when staring at menus for too long
supple sundial
why wouldnt i level new ops
no henny i mean leveling all their skills
yu dont have to level all 4
it's a fuckton of mats
for like no increase
dont level basics
focus on leveling skills that do more than just mediocre dmg
no character needs 9 on everything
eternal pike
This shit normal? lmfao
switching off directx and its functions to vulkan
or vice versa helps for a time
so if on vulcan switch to d11 in launcher
if on d11 switch on vulcan and turn off all nvidia features in game
also
turn off in nvidia app auto setting adjustment for endfield if its on and reset in same app to default
sharp yarrow
Seems to work better on Vulcan
That's fucked though
I can see memory usage creeping up every time I enter a menu
They need to fix that asap lol
sharp yarrow
gonna try updating drivers

I'm clueless what the diff between dx 12 and 11 is

Approximately 1DX

unoptimized games is why i went 32 gb of ram

crazy we're calling the game unoptimized, when it was praised on release for being the opposite
sharp yarrow
Memory usage going up every time you open a menu is kind of unacceptable

man i've gotten too lazy to mint pick the random shit around the map
i already have like hundreds of the dijang mats, surely thats enough
there's also like no characters to build so idc
