Everyone understood that they got together

And now it turns out they actually were not together.

Yea. Didn't bother to post it in reply, but the half the reason people were pissed at the ending was that the status of relationship wasn't even clear. Like sure, most people were assuming that they got together, we had no clue when or how, but they did. But it was still only assumptions and guesses and scenario where they're not together was still just as plausible considering everything that we knew. So it's funny that most people still decided to interpret them as at least going out, even if it didn't make sense considering the last thing we knew about characters feelings and thoughts, we probably just didn't see it and all the growth and progress happened off screen. And now author just officially confirmed that the epilogue that people were 100% sure showed their happy ending and we were just stupid to not understand it, the necklace, don't you see the necklace!? it's the same! It's all by confirmed! was in fact of them not dating. What a farce of the series. This author has no clue how to write a long running series and you can't convince me otherwise.

It feels like a doujinshi of the series.

THRM-EX doesn't have the support tag.

Yea. I meant Castle. I still need 3 pots to max him. Lucky Lancet needs only 1. Since robot tag never shows up for me anymore and I got spooked with 5 stars only like 2 times, I figured I might as well try getting castle using support tag and sacrificing few 4 stars to finally max pot him. Of course the 2 times I tried doing it and lower timer to allow 1 stars, I got the tag crossed out. Yuri damn it game.

And yes, you'd need to set your timer to 3:50 since 4 hours eliminates your chances of getting 1 star operators and the problem with this is that lower times decreases the chance of a tag sticking.

I meant that I got several guarantee tags crossed out at 9 hours, which is really frustrating, when 99% of time you get trash tags and then when you finally get something good, it gets crossed out.

It's highest risk clears for the support's owner. My highest is only 20 so that's what shows up regardless if the ones who borrowed by Ceobe cleared a higher risk than me. Someone actually cleared risk 18 with my Ch'en but if you were to see my Ch'en in the support list, you wouldn't be able to see that since I didn't actually bring my Ch'en to my own risk 18 clear.

Och! So it works like that! That's still cool, but in different way. That means all my supports show up with 22. Neat.

I do wish the Robot tag is a guarantee. My robots are still not max pot despite just getting the 500 recruitments medal.

Yea. And I didn't see robot tag in ages... Yesterday I got support, so I tried to get THRM-EX and of course it got crossed out >.> I wish tags were guarantee to stick if you pick damn 9 hours though.

I thought numbers next to supports were highest risk clears, but myrrhmidon's Ceobe still has 20, despite me clearing 22 with her?

^ Easy? Pffft I gave up on that shit. I'll take the easy way out. Unless I find a way to do it with what I have on YT.
Yesterday was tight but not SUPER hard. W ended up tanking fully powered up javelins for a around 30 seconds, I love this crazy woman.

Yea. I had pretty good setup for yesterday's daily, but still couldn't really pull off max risk, so I settled for 8 as always. Same for today's. Doing it normally was pain enough with figuring timings etc and with movement risk and tiles ban my setup fallen apart, so like screw it. I don't have Suzuran, Silverash and Thorns to even attempt doing the "easy" way (not that I want to anyway). I guess this CC I'm really happy I'm doing all the risk 8s relatively easy and didn't need guide even once. Next one hopefully I'll M3 all my favorite operators and have varied enough roster to deal with anything they throw at me. I'm working on risk 25 for perma map, but I reach the point where I really am feeling lack of all relevant M3s, so I guess I'm hitting my limit. Hopefully next CC I can aim for max.

Rolled one final 10 roll. 6 star bag.
Fucking Saria again. I got a couple of 5* pots at least. I think I saw Blaze will be in the shop in like half a year...guess I'll have to wait. No luck on Bagpipe.

I haven't seen any of that ship but I have seen some Dobermann x Jessica images though. I read a fanfic with Vanilla x Deepcolor too.

It comes from the fact that my default snipers are Executor, Exusiai and Jessice, so I kinda started to imagine that Exusiai and Jessica are into each other and Executor is a wingman.

First of all. drpepperfan first comments hardly counts as "het bashing". It was simply stating disappointment in artist not doing yuri anymore. It wasn't insulting them or saying they can't do it like the next poster. Second, the best way to deal with people like that, outside of warning or banning them is, you know, ignoring them and not giving them attention or arguing with them. Thirdly rules are more guidelines for moderators and in the end they're the ones who decided how to interpret them. And fourthly, if you're so set on following rules, did you forgot about 1 specifically saying to not do "back-sitting moderating"? Something you're currently doing? Towards the freaking admin of the site? Seriously what's up with your obsession with defending het past few weeks? Het really doesn't need protecting. It's doing just fine.

Logical answer: it takes too much resources and it'd rather spend it on promoting more operators instead of pooling it on one.

Yea. Another thing this CC taught me. While lvls are important, stats grow isn't that big and the biggest impact after E2 and first initial lvls is mastering skills. Sure once you did everything and has nothing better to do, you can start lvling them, but trying to max lvl from the get go isn't really that impactful.

Non-logical answer: I'm too OCD to change it now that I've been keeping everyone at E2 Lv40 for forever and if I level one person I would need to do it for everyone.

Same. I try to keep everyone in the same lvl range, mostly so they're on equal power and I can compere them, because once I'd have few operates way higher than rest, I'd just keep using them. Which already kinda happened once I started E2 them. Now I almost exclusively use only those operators.

Did only risk 8 for drones map. I didn't have enough operators to do any higher risks and I struggled to do it with snipers already.

Yandere!Sora has a different sort of appeal.
...Come to think of it, a story where Sora is about to go all "If I can't have you, no one can!" on Texas and is calmed down by a weirded-out Lappland feels like it'd be amusingly ironic.

Awesome and congrats!

Thanks!

As long as the new contracts don't lower your DPS, I think the same strat can reach higher risks. There were quite a bit close calls where just a bit less damage and the enemy might have leaked there.

Yea, I was thinking the same. I tried adding lower attack or picking higher health, but Texas would die at the beginning. It really was already close call in terms of dmg, that's why I knew I can't go higher.

I also realize having Ange instead of Suzuran has benefits in raising atk speed.

Yea. Idk how much it really contributed, but considering I relied a lot on auto attacks, I think it wasn't insignificant.

Your comment about RNG reminds me why CC beta and to an extent CC#0 are considered hard. Both can be RNG based even on risk 18.

Exactly! Even now as daily I couldn't make higher risks work, because burning was just so unreliable.

塞雷娅 posted:

Also one thing I really like with Arknights is how there's minimal power creep and the operators we have from the very beginning are still viable and in fact still in the top of their roles. Examples being Ange, Eyja, Silverash, Saria, etc.

True. I also like that they're sticking to their apparent promise to not make limited operators broken and must have, on top of having very little limited operators to begin with.

It is my sincere hope it stays this way. The fact that other OP units like Blaze and Surtr can not only spook you at any time, but they can also appear in the shop in the future.

Yes! After FGO the fact there're barely any limited operators was one of reasons I even felt like giving AK a shot. Like lol, FGO is out for over 5 years now and yet the number of SSR in permanent banner are like less than 30.

Nice job! I like your timing with Gravel, blocking both Faust's critical shots and random enemies in Ifrit's death lane. Seems pretty efficient, if stressful.

Thanks! Yea, half way the run I had issue with leaking some enemies and it was really frustrating, but after dozens of tries and errors I figured when and how exactly I need to deploy Gravel to fix all of this. Honestly at the end it was super clean run, where I was just following the exact order and it was guarantee to succeed, so by that point doing all of it felt really easy. I really liked that I truly used all operators I brought to their fullest potential.

I always said it, but especially here when I started to record my runs yesterday, cos I was sure I'm 1 step from winning it and wanted to capture it, really helped when I could just go back to see what exactly went wrong and think about how to address it instead of previous something not working and me going "????????" because I was too focused on other things and had no idea what happened.

Myrtle soloing the invisible enemies was a surprise; I didn't think she could take them down by herself with the +Defense risk.

Yea. I was really proud of that, cos I don't think anyone did it and that was the main reason I wanted to make video. When figuring strategy at first I kept running into issue of either not having anyone to block left side or right side. At some point I got annoyed and just put Myrtle there and amazingly she actually managed to kill the guy and not die herself. Also while placement wasn't unique, I think the way I used Weedy was pretty clever as well.

EDIT/ Wow. New contracts are hard. I don't think I can really increase my risk, but I'll see. Also damn those risks on daily are brutal. Sniper soft ban when half of enemies are drones. Someone at HG is a sadist.

Holy fuck! It's alive!

After 3 days of tweaking my strategy over and over I finally managed to pull off risk 22! Ngl, I'm really proud of myself. It'd be especially frustrating if I didn't clear it, cos I already had working strategy where I killed everyone, even Faust, except for last red weeb, so giving up when I was so close, would be incredibly annoying. Thank you for your Ceobe, myrrhmidon! I really needed that M3 on S2 and mine only has M2. This is as far as I can go with my current lvls/masteries though. At the end Ange would probably finish Faust off if her skill was M3. We'll see what new contracts comes out tomorrow. After losing countless attempts seemingly randomly I learned 1 thing. If you lose and don't know why either you did something wrong or your strategy just doesn't work. If it relies too heavily on rng, it's probably not good anyway. I like how by the end my final strategy was so much better and efficient than what I started with lol.

Couldn't handle invisible spiders, maybe would manage risk 11, but the strat I wanted to try was with Ch'en and mine is underleveled and no was showing up on support, so I just gave up and spend my energy on perma map instead. Today's I didn't even bother trying for higher risk, cos I hate that map with passion.

Risk 12 for daily is as far as I can go. I could managed 50% health or 60% def less, but not both at the same time. Well not with strat I was using anyway. Since there were no Crownslayer risks, I just used Weedy to keep pushing her into Liskarm's... puts on the shades arms and charging Eyja's volcano. Worked surprisingly well. Didn't even need to detonate generators. I technically could let 2 enemies leak, but I made sure to win with perfect score.

Finally managed to do risk 18 yesterday and today pulled off risk 21. Had just to tweak my strategy slightly. I'm currently working on making risk 22 work, but even if I managed to do that anything higher is impossible with my current lvls/masteries or without completely reinventing my strategy again.

Honestly, I don't really like Faust's gimmick. You have to pretty much deploy everyone before he shows up, making beginning really tight and once he starts shooting, there's no changing anything. If anything goes wrong, there's no salvaging it and you can just quit. It limits your strategies a lot. I know you can try redeploy your operators later and juggle his shots, but it's incredibly hard to do, so I just made 1 setup and killed him at the beginning, where all my dmg dealers were. Also I feel lied to. I was told Liskarm is great on this map cos brawlers, but that's only if you do a very specific setup with her that's honestly way more hassle than it's worth it.

For first daily I only tried to do risk 14 few times, meant to try more later, but didn't really find time and spend most of it on perma map, so I only did risk 8. Second managed to do risk 14. Previously I actually used a lot of boxes, but turns out getting rid of them is really easy. Yesterday was pain. Did risk 8, could probably pull off 11-12, if I kept bashing my head against it, but meh, my operators just weren't high lvl enough to dps it. Didn't try today's yet.

Characters look cute, but yea. The fact it's gacha immediately disqualifies it for me.

Wow. Doing risk 8 daily relatively easily without checking any guides felt really good. Having properly lvl'd operators makes so much difference xD I'll try seeing if I can do max risk tomorrow. For perma map cleared all contracts and challenges and seems like risk 14 is my limit for now. Not bad for first day I'd say.

I'm ready for CC. Also never made album in imgur before so wasn't sure how it works, I think I managed to do it right... Anyway, I put them on support in case someone don't have either of them.

I also have all the mats ready to E2 Hellagur, Angelina and Weedy, but no LMD...

Also got Blaze from banner. Honestly preferred Mostima, but still can't complain, especially since it wasn't another Hellagur. I love the guy, but I want to get all 6 stars first. Also it retroactively justified me picking Angelina over Blaze (not that I wanted Blaze, cos OP, but now that I got her, I'll probably use her + I do like her as a character).

Straight people don't really face discrimination/hate the way people of the LGBT do.

Just thought I'd clarify here, that isn't an argument against the existence of heterophobia. Discrimination isn't a contest, with the victims of the most egregious offenses winning the ability to use "phobia" to describe hatred and fear of them. That doesn't help anyone. And contrary to the garbage articles brought up by another user, calling out discrimination that isn't as pervasive does NOT serve to undermine the suffering of anyone else. That's a very dangerous way of thinking that leads to atrocities while people look the other way, and you don't want to be a part of that. If someone has an irrational fear or hatred of heterosexuals, millions of whom have been strong supporters around the world of gay rights, then it is heterophobia.

You wrote exactly same thing Gendo said, which I already read, so I honestly have no clue why did you write it, except for just pointlessly dragging back a conversation that was already over.

Yea, she looks interesting. Since I'll be rolling limited banner anyway, it'd be nice getting her, especially considering I liked Nian.

Finally beat H7-3. I struggle a bit at first, but I'm really happy with my run. Also it's actually a secret Curoa spotlight.
