EN or anime?
I want Iruma S2 to come out already.
why not play JP?
what's pso2?
i only stay in JP because they have them collab costume items
Phantasy Star Online 2
Is it mobile.
Yeah, dodging that shit then.
oh it's an mmo
it always takes me a couple hours to download the game
well ya kno
i never played MHW
how2describe
i guess 80gb is about the range?
well overall, i just like the game
i made my character into kurumi
i made this gif in 2018, last time i played the game
im on the very right ofc
i got too addicted to mmos so i'm avoiding all of them forever 
i was tempted to try pso2 at some point too frayya
My attention span is too tiny for something outside of mobage.
as much as money goes
i think ive only spent money to reset my skills
but i always have that problem with MMOs
if i quit and come back, i go like "wtf was i trying to do with this build!?"
pretty much
gear isnt that important, just makes doing harder content easier
the raids are like i think 12 ~ 15 ppl
so the stronger players will do the carrying ofc
you just need minimum level reqs
everything is essentially customizable and accessible on one character
do u pay for all those costumes?
the only thing you cant change is your species
or is it with the game at start
people gacha for costumes ofc
but they resell them on the market for ingame currency
ah
so all my costumes, i got without paying for
but ya kno
Just don't play MMOs.
the ingame currency can be quite a lot
just to buy rare costumes and stuff
this girl has nier automata swords
there was also a bunch of fate collabs as well
lol that name
i can imagine if PSO2 EN ever comes out
a lot of people would be rushing leveling and hoarding a shit ton of money
and maybe the market might be worse essentially
but its just a guess atm
i wouldnt look away from it
leveling is easy, its just depends how many classes you wanna cap ofc
i still dont like subscribing for games tho
i recently ended my Nintendo Online subscription last month because i like stopped playing pokemon
how much is pso2 sub
but yeah the patches/downloads are pretty big
it can be really high graphics if you wanted to
but ya kno, no one ever runs graphics on that game hella high
i see
oh
so, its back to normal time for me?
they stopped last nov
yeah, it doesnt change anything
for me, the pvp resets in AL have been on 1100, 1700, and 2300
now its gonna go back to 1200, 1800, and 0000
i haven't done al pvp in a long time, is it just filled with fdg + azuma now?
no yet
its still hiryuu meta
at dev 16 atm
well ya kno
coins
and all
i havent used any mail this event so far
if someonne has dev 30 drs atm their actually just giga whales
i always have the fleet victory screen for like 3-5 mins before i actually noticed its done
ive been lucky with prints and im at dev 19 azuma
i would call them extremely lucky
my research rolls have been really bad lately
me rn
at what dev lvl would fdg+azuma outperform hiryuu/warpat?
fdg is already good at 10
azuma needs gun + some more dev levels
maybe 20/25
i cant tell how they do vs warspite/hiryuu before dev 30 though
the slash means or
its either/or
thats weird to use both lol
well ya kno
inaba just wondering how high pvp is atm
that was meant to compare the total fleet comp though, not just those specific ships
the frontline is very flexible atm without azuma
hard to say luna, azuma can be serviceable at dev 15 once you max her skills and have her gun
but
you'd prob be better off using smth else
until shes atleast 20 or 25
how2getgun
FDG is already hella strong at dev 10 but i wouldnt say shes better than wskai at dev 10 lol
maybe i should stock up on points before pvp becomes awful then
wskai is kinda nuts
i switched back from war kai back to hiryuu recently
warkai isnt that great if the white shell doesnt proc
im always out of bulin
always why i still do pvp
i mean yeah but
i dont get bulin every day unfortunately
after these russian botes, i only have muse akagi and muse gascone to mlb with purin
Man I love redoing maps.
And just using 1-3 units to clear it instead of the old 9-11 units.
i still havent finished chapter 13 yet
at least with this event i have more 120s to work with
but that fleet tech tho
Massa is a great bote you hack.
She's thicc as hell.
Hot pants, choco goddess with a swimsuit and jacket.
my fleet tech is still at filthy casual levels
im only at 10136 tho
always running out of bulin
i guess im just unlucky with the daily merit shop rolls
yeah, i still have a shit ton of them
I'm not efficient for sure.
i'm getting the urge to play a rhythm game, tempted to buy the jp version of that new project diva game 
Bruh.
and your total fleet tech is 10k? Oy. Mine's 7400 and I was doin' pretty good
I wonder my total Fleet tech is.
i mean, its at the top
I haven't actually checked Fleet tech in months.
Flexing on the plebs.
Wasn't her whole selling point survivability.
i thought it was AP damage
Balti is damage, not tank
It might be Zara I'm thinking about.
Wait really.
it do be like dat sometimes
Why haven't you quit this game yet.
do they?
i hope so
sounds right.
Like holy shit.
alabama and baltimore was a new event
I'm still waiting to be able to pull FW again.
game has ran for a year and a half and we only got two reruns so far
Because I still don't have Maryland.
I need my I-13
Give me I-13 goddamit.

ah, i see you are a man of culture rinky
I need i-26
i too thirst for suzuya
Somehow.
Just a nice DD to level, aki 
U-522 I think.
you didnt mean suzuya when you said oni?
I think so, she was from ISSS rerun wasn't she
yep
I hope swiftsure is soon
so i dont have to use oil to move subs
Her design is so good

Chotto a minute.
for global? nice
yeah just another free 4* skin
im more excited for the daily sanity pots, chip catalysts and stuff
lmao
I love free Sanity.
This new event is the next major event in Arknights EN although there might be filler banners, The event starts with Schwars Banner and part two contains Hellagur Banner. The series of events in the video are in the order of release. I am also very excited for the free skins a...
Time to nap till ak reset so i can grab my gara manticore
Not for me... GBF stream in an hour
exactly one hour?
slightly less than an hour, yeah
I'll be watching Dom's rebroadcast/translation
I remember when I saw that nendo released, was like "oh yeah, that game isn't out anywhere but China right?" Hit the shelves a month before release or something...
no AL nendo?
hm... don't think they announced any at WonFes
Nope, nothin'.
some more AK nendos coming though
heh, I have 3 to go after FdG
Nakamura 

its a poot !

shoot, AK dayroll now 6 AM CST
huh, i have to wait another hour?

waow

problem is
idk how to provide my cabbage
cause ofc
cabbage is crafter script
ill have to just...
figure it out


i have cul lvled but not fisher
heh
i knew it.
AK is a scam
dropped my manticore tag
got a melantha :)
this has happened on my last 3 5* tags
nuker, summon and now this, all dropped
That really sucks

probably never gonna see that survival specialist combo again
havent heard of anyone else getting it
i hardly get specialist in the first place
ive lost firewatch, mayer and manticore now
but manticore hurts the most, 2d most wanted 5*
after skyfire

Skyfire? You mean Magical Ruby?
And I mean the Tousaka Magical Ruby, not that loli

Loli magical girl kaleid rin 



in hitagis basement






Once I get more OP I can start rush E2ing more units. About to finish Specter.
i definitely should be ready lmao
Very true
Yes indeed
russian frame acquired. back to real games.
im farming d3 atm heh
i bought so much shit on steam, i can't afford to spend a ton of time on mobage right now.
AK being low-maintenance can actually be a good thing.
this is avgen
my game backlog is so massive 
i wanna get pmd but i'm scared it'll just go on the backlog like the rest of the games i wanna play
i only just finished metro exodus
after getting it on the day it unlocked on steam


Same
whats in 24 days synd
I want more OP for being a good whale
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
o
Prob burnt out
HF5-1 CM when?
Not burning sanity 

I havenโt even done HF-1 yet. Prioritizing other things.
bring it

wrong link
The fuck is that
What a flex

That was me 2 days ago
i just used all of those last night


Then I decided to use 7OP to e2 ifrit
Why canโt the game just reduce San costs already.
Or have a โhalf offโ period


Nice.
while i work on skill specs
Welcome to the club.
I have 12 E2 as well... but I donโt wanna use them all on the same team
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/659365520478437386/686264960325779526/Screenshot_20200308-183144_Arknights.jpg Well, after i get angelina to lvl 20 but yeah, thats not hard
i want to e2 texas at some point to use over lappland buuut
no rush
i only have 6 e2s 
Iโm currently doing Specter, then Iโll move to Texas
Then Iโll move to Lappland

You coulda saved OP before
Iโll never start saving OP

Muh progress
Saving OP 
Mostima comes early
im really craving cookies right now

fkkkkkkkkkkk
Then what
these 6 d32 steel are gonna be annoying though, really annoying
Bitch donโt say that.
i just want my m3 ch'en already
I just did
Just do it aki
Schwartz first 

Whatcha gon do then hoe?
What I always do? Be whale as fuck.
i need.. 4 orion clusters, 6 aketon, 12 orirock clusters, 6 polyester packs and 10 manganese ore
to m3 ch'en
oh and 4 rma70, assuming i get 0 special drops
๐ณ
i just bought the 6 integ devices with green certs that i need for ch'en m3 since i hate farming 4-10 
took the easy way out

Iโll probably hop back into 6* E2s after Iโm done with Lappland
I donโt need Frostleaf
Ugh fucking gate knights
Units I need to get to E2
Thankfully nothing interferes with my E2 Day 1 Mostima prep
Well, Spectre kinda does actually
8 WLK she needs are what I need to make 4 BP
I will go crazy developing units.
I give up.
I'll just ... farm damaged devices
When you bully low chapter content
Why not just do the 90% device drop rate map
LOL
Ifrit + Saria is mega bully in a corridor.
Finished getting Specter to E1/70
too many guards to level 
i'm probably never gonna have an e2/90 character
that investment doesn't seem worth it

yee
E2/90 is literally for the waifus.
Because after a certain while it's just not worth.
if you a leviathan
you E2 90

what a waste 
But Iโll guarantee I get her before you do though.
Well
If it comes down to ones wallet. Its more of a how much are you willing to drop.
3 top ops? 
Or was it 2.


If only that worked all the time
Canโt wait
Gonna be the bisko cube drain all over again

And Iโll be around for it
Who.
Some oldie whose name I have forgotten
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
I do. Need both.
Eyjar and Ifrit

But one is a ST mage and one is is a line of death
Iโm a greedy man looking to gather all the stones
spee guy 
But isnโt that a single target like you just said
Or we factoring her skill three
i wish i had a cute win button
Best rng: exu buff on eyja/ifrit
Really hard to force the RNG for that though.
And Exu buff on either of them seems overkill.
I mean you can make it a 50/50 chance

Depending on the map
Also its called best rng for a reason lol
Only maps I've seen possible to force it are Annihilatio's
big brain strats
Not really rng tho
Best way I see it is make Exu strong enough to solo lanes and then wait for Eyja to come up.

Because you start off with 11 DP usually, it'd be easier to just throw Exu out first
Yes
S3 looks fun
i tried to make one of those but drawing is hard 

Stick figures works just fine
how2draw
i wish i knew 
What do I do in AL now.
Collect all the waifus?
I got my first 5* tag.
grats
Crowd Control... Can get Texas, Pred, or Mayer
67% chance of getting something new assuming the tag doesn't drop.

I want Kroos to leave me alone.

Sheโs useful early on, but she kinda drops off.
Iโm kinda a tier whore.

You donโt have good potential, instant bench.
So specialists are never getting on my squads.
Ko-Ko-Die-Yo
specialists are meta though 
Are they though?
Do you like Le Tem now Luna.
Yeah, literally all of them.
i'm indifferent to temeraire
the shift specialists can literally one-shot stuff
you probably shouldn't invest super hard into specialists early on though since lots of them can still excel at lvl 1
Imagine a tier list that is so inconsistent with its own critiques that it creates an X category.
Well to start off, if you're gonna rank something... You'd choose a parameter to organize the units by. And if that parameter is consistent among the units in the list, why is there a need to have some "X" ranking.
Ew tierlists
it looks pretty consistent to me, seems like it's basing stuff on usefulness when fully maxed
for games like ak, there will always be a niche for certain stuff so an x tier makes sense for super specialized stuff
You can rationalize a situation in which anything is good though.
ya, but the point of this is to generalize across the entire game
Yes, and the generalization fails when you start picking and choosing using this new variable.
I mean if we are generalizing the entire game
If the list were consistent, you'd be able to just say that units which are too specialized are bad.
specialists just have super high variance in performance, shaw is amazing in a1, but generally useless in most story maps, so i assume that's why it rates it that way
You should rank a specialist based on their innate ability. Like how you divide AOE casters from ST casters.
So comparing Shaw vs. Feater.
Comparing CH vs. Rope.
We can generalize AOE mages... we just have to pick a consistent thing to measure. The list changes depending on that measure.
But throwing in an X category for every unit that needs an asterisk next to its name isn't a very good list.
but the thing their measuring is general performance, specialists can't be measured that way though
so that's where the inconsistency comes from
Vulcan is a defender.
And is yet rated X according to this list.
Castle-3 is a guard.
And is yet rated X according to this list.
they're pretty much specialized for their own niche though
they dont fit into any category that the others in their class do
And that's the thing. Are you ranking these units based on a single parameter or their niche.
If you're ranking on their Niche.
Things change.
But overall usefulness is literally thrown out the trash if a unit is niche.
So if you're ranking these based on that parameter, just say it's bad.
Don't overcomplicate it by including an X.
Would be how I see it.
that's the point though
Because it's a given every unit has it's spotlight to shine.
they're measuring overall usefulness, and because the specialized units can't be rated based on it, they remain unranked
Yes, and these units aren't overall useful.
exactly, that's the point
So what's stopping you from just saying it's bottom tier.
because it's misleading, and if they did that, people would just argue "bad tier list every unit is good in something etc"
It's clearly trying to say that the X means it isn't bottom tier.
It's not misleading though if you're judging based on a unified parameter.
the parameter of general usefulness does not apply to them though

It does.
They aren't overall useful.
So say it's F.
Or whatever the lowest rank is according to the list, haha.

well they could, but that would be horribly misleading
I don't think it would be.
i still disagree with their AOE mage list 
maybe it would be more accurate for the metric, but it results in giving people the wrong idea
What's the point of a list without an accurate metric.
I dont have enough mages to judge the tier list
if only there was a way to know how an operator operated without having them

sounds like a job interview
Imagine how good an inaccurate list would be.
yeah because i can just read the stats and immediately understand how good they'll be

"What is your biggest Strength?" "I know how to move my hands."
there
solved your problem

watching other people use the characters doesn't do anything to help understanding
big brain people can make anything look op
Aceship gives you all the numbers.
but the list is a generalization so all you have to do is watch several sources
im smol brain unfortunately
My brain is THIIIIIIIIIIS big.
if you just looked at numbers you'd think vulcan is the best character ever and exu sucks
And in a list comparing numbers it's true.
tier lists are helpful for new players to know who to invest in
ha gottem
ya i didn't either and i wasted a ton of resources
Who did you invest in that you can honestly say was a waste.
none
usually for me, i just look for what ever single stat or skill a character has and figure out their role from there
cause all ops are useful. Period
Asking Luna, but thanks for the input Synd.
all are useful, but some are more useful than others
But name a unit who you invested in that you look back at and go "Man, I shouldn't have done that."
frostleaf, matoimaru, savage
Mostima, Ranobe. Such a waste smh
they're good, but i dont have a use for them at the moment
LOL, came around full circle Synd.
she's always my go to guard

leaf is cute, but i dont need her
But at the time of investment you needed them right.
it was an investment during first week
That's what everything in the game is.
not really, i kinda dropped them immediately
Did you have SA at the start.
ya
He was your first 6* right.
not at low levels
is gucci as hell
Did you have any other 5* or 6* guards.
definitely not when i used her
also
Obviously you didn't have a 6* guard at the time.
nope, i dropped all of them for melantha
e1 was definitely an investment in the first few days
i refuse to accept anything not E2 or E1 50+ or E1 for 3*s an investment
E1 is an investment in general.
of course now it's free
That's LMD that could be going somewhere else.
Which is why E1 is an investment.

E2 is an investment for obvious reasons similarly.
also i will never say ifrit is better generally than say Skyfire
I wouldn't say any unit is generally better than the other.
altho to be fair.
Assuming having them isnt a problem. Its only ifrit or skyfire

the others arent worth thought
but that's the entire point of the tier list 
And it's a shit list.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
In all fairness it's better than WatchMojo's list, but that's not exactly a high hurdle to jump.
tier lists be like "this one is better because it has 6 stars, and 6 stars is better than 5 stars."
how about this then
trash list
because that's pretty much how AK works.
You know looking through this generally useful list, it practically devolves into that mentality that Cal just described.
never forget that they said
unfortunately that's true, because that's how ak works
you have e2 6*. you know how fucking absurd they are.
luckily, the game isn't balanced around them. yet.
i mean
Cuora is basically the best defender until Nian. Because she... defends and b4s
and no one else does until her
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
will i use her?
No cause Croi is super cute

I use her because of the Comic.
which?
The one with Grandpa Doctor and Pred.
Ye
I love Cuora's skin.

Bought it on release.
Turtle soup
i probably missed something
f12 not cute smh

anyone know all the released AK skins so far lol?
You put Lancet in Not Cute.
how does that robot not sound cute?
I'll take her aoe fast redeploy
Shit list.
oh ya you're right
exactly
fixed
See this list is more accurate to choosing who to develop than the GamePress list.
The fuck, Castle is a dude.
Throw that shit back down.
Once anni3 is cleared we never have to touch it. Unless it's more efficient to run for weekly cap?
at least you got ansel right
throw him down too



i assume it awards slightly more orundum. the question is, does it decrease the number of runs to 4 or less?
given the increased cap, probably not.
it'll probably even out and end up being 5 again.
Does anyone know what Savages weapon is.
a hammer
it is
scoped hammer?
sounds like a direct upgrade to this thing
When did it start.
going to bed at 6am. what a champ.
woke up at 9 instead of 8 this morning
AH.
getting up for work is gonna suck
I woke up at 10 instead of 9.
