No problem (of course, then I was stuck not having clue 3 for a while too...)

Sorry. Still didn't drop one to send you it back...

It's weird that, aside from clue 4, clue 3 seems to be one that people need the most considering everyone has Jessica.

I even used her, but sadly the increase chance seems to be low, so she didn't drop me clue 3. In fact I think only once she actually gave me clue 3 as she was supposed to do (don't worry, I still love you <3). Also after clue 4, my biggest nemesis is clue 1 xP

Lol. Today's risks look insane.

Norainhere, thanks for finally sending me that damn clue 3 T__T

Have you read chapter 6 yet? I already said that they mentioned her age in the main story.

Honestly I don't remember them calling her kid, but maybe I just missed it/forgot. I don't remember her age being stated either, but I'm still in the first half of chapter 6, so it probably was later. What I do remember is her being called bunny multiple times.

Even height-wise, she's clearly leaning on being a kid. You could say she's just short, but coupled with everyone saying she's a kid, maybe she's actually just a kid hmmmm...

She's legal loli! She looks like kid, but actually is 100 years old!

Sorry, I couldn't resist xP

You can't just take datasets from entirely different contexts and blithely assume they're at all comparable.

Exactly. I remember there was some outrage about 1 country that had the highest rate of something, I don't remember what it was, but it did not take into account that every country had different way to classify and sort it, so simply compering numbers made no sense. People forget laws and ways to enforce them are not the same everywhere.

Today's map is the one I missed week 1. The risks look pretty vanilla...I guess I'll be spamming blocks?

Yea, they're much easier than last weeks. That seems to be trend in general for their second appearances.

Seeing Amiya ships with older operators feels weird. She's literally 14

Wow, she's 14? I'd never tell, especially considering game keeps everyone's portrays and in-game models around the same size. The fact she's apparently de-facto leader of Rhodes Island takes on a whole new meaning.

and yet Japan (...) has a very, very low ratio of sex crimes per capita of any developed nation.

I agree with everything else (I said as much before in this thread), but that's 1 thing I need to point out. While crime in general in Japan is much lower, their sex crimes are actually quite high. The issue is most of sexual harassment and assaults are simply not getting reported either because of culture of shame (pretty similar in west honestly, where being raped is a stigma for life and people will judge you based on it, so many victims are afraid to confess) or coercion. Other thing is that Japan has atrocious sex crimes laws where rape is pretty much not counted as rape, which also influences statistics. As much as advanced country Japan is, they still have a lot of issues and it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

MR was not able to live up to its full potential, which is an utter shame. The closure came out of nowhere given how active the community was and what could have been if the game had been managed a different way. You have a right to be salty haha.

The worst part is that considering how rushed the pacing was and that they even moved seasonal events from future years back, it really feels like they planned to milk as much as possible from the game and shut it down once interest fails enough from the start.

Here's my absolute favorite moment in the game (that will make sense to literally no one else).

Nah. I get it too. That's my favorite part of IroYachi too and pretty much moment that cemented to me the story as a great one. Iroha proposing to Yachiyo. What more can you ask for?

Whoa some of those contingencies look like right witches' brew if taken together D:

Yea, that's why I'm glad this time I could avoid all the annoying one. Managed to do it with my original (albeit slightly modified) setup I tried last week, before having to switch to all snipers.

also HOLY SHIT MANTICORE IN SHOP TAKE ALL MY CERTS ヽ((◎д◎))ゝ

Yea. Forgot to mention I'm considering if I should get her second copy for -1 DP, but Since I'm little over 100, I think I'll better save for 6 star in case someone I like is in the shop cough Eyjafjalla cough

Speaking of Gummy is she worth spending the 99 cents on or not?

She's really easy to recruit, but still 99 cents for that pack is really great value and Gummy is amazing healing defender if you don't have Nearl or Saria and she's much easier to invest in as a 4 star.

I wanted to get Blue Poison and Manticore, so them being featured in new banner worked perfectly for me. Dropping Mostima could be cool as well, but I'm not so greedy to expect third 6 star in a row. So I rolled and instead dropped 3 5 stars. Got both BP and Manti, so I'm really happy. Matoimaru and Gitano was great as well, cos I maxed their potential with that and Vigna was P4, which allowed me to unlock her bonus attack. Overall amazing roll. Also damn Manticore is such a cutie <3

Norainhere posted:

Haha, yeah, I know that feeling. There'll be lots of times when I keep on trying to use the same strategy over and over, thinking "If I time just a bit better, I know it'll work!" even if it would be easier to just switch up my operators or look up a guide.

Exactly! Are you me or what x3? In the end I couldn't do it, cos I was just a bit short of damage and/or tankyness. With some E2 or mastery I'd probably pull it off, so I ended up using your Saria. I also re-recorded Cuora run with sound.

And let's not even get started on FGOverse...

Original Fate and later additions at least tried to explain gender bendering somehow, but FGO pretty much stopped giving a damn and just swaps everyone left and right without care. Most people treats myths and legends more like a guidelines than hard rules anyway (since there are many versions in the first place), but Fate and especially FGO really took it to another level.

I put my S1M3 Saria on my friend support, if that helps.

Well, I really wanted to do it with my own operators, but I admit I'm completely unprepared for CC. I did try using your Saria and she actually can survive until Hateful Avenger, but Executor and Ifrit just couldn't kill him in time, but it was very close. I'm currently getting Ifrit's skill to rank 7, which should help.

Who are your highest level operators?

I only have Jessica E2 lvl 20 and Executor E2 lvl 10.

You might be able to get away with 3 snipers + 1 healing defender depending on their levels, considering there aren't any increased defense risks. You'd be able to get away with not taking the Armed Militant risk too.

Honestly, I could easily just go for defenders/medics ban and use casters, supporters and snipers to win it easily. It's just I felt like pulling it of with that set up would be really cool, cos finding a good spot for Executor and especially Ifrit is really hard and especially considering their costs often you just can't afford to use them, so because I can deploy them in this mission with relative easy, I really want to beat it like that. You could say I'm making it unnecessary hard for myself, but I like challenging myself like that and it feels nice, because it's my strategy. But thanks for suggestions anyway! For next dailies I'll definitely just go with w/e works for me.

塞雷娅 posted:

You should use Saria or Nearl with S1M3, the timing of their skill let's them survive the big dudes no problem.

I did try to use Nearl, but she's only E1 lvl 55, Skill rank 7. I didn't try with both her and medic though.

I'm feeling annoyed. Today's daily is perfect for Executor and Ifrit and I even easily cleared lower risks, so I was sure I'll have easy time with this one, but higher risks had to be either ban on casters/medics or defenders/guards, which are all core to my strategy so I'm forced to run it with 50% health risk. I barely did it on risk 7, but I don't think I can pull risk 8 with my current operators. That 50% health 25% attack on Militants is just little too much to kill them in time. Then again reward for risk 8 barely give you currency. Still I'll probably clear it later using Eckogen strategy to get them.

EDIT/ Ups, I forgot that when I plug in headphones I need to restart OBS in order for it to capture sound again, so video is mute. And yes, I didn't even check it before uploading, because I assumed everything was right x3" Welp.

Fair enough :(

I forgot to mention (ignoring CC) FGO is also just way more time consuming compare to AK, so it was always a time sink I just no longer feel like I can justify to myself.

Just remember to back up your account just in case and not lose your progress/investment.

Yea, though I highly doubt it.

Sorry, I didn't comment on your vids because I would just post here instead.

Nah. I meant comments from random people on YT, though not like people commented here as well. I might get more views if I had actively promoted it on reddit etc; but not like I cared about views or wanted to grow my channel. I was doing it for fun and as a hobby in the first place, so I just wanted to leave the channel grow to natural process, but I should have predicted YT is no longer place to post videos for fun. It become a normal job and only promotes videos that can earn YT money.

I'm glad you're still having fun in AK, though.

Yea. I always liked logical games, so I'm treating maps like puzzles to solve, so I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far.

co-main character

I'm sorry, but Akira was never main character. She was always only supporting character to Hime.

Sorry guys, but I'm quitting. On top of all the things we always bitch about (especially gacha), I just don't feel like playing anymore. Lack of auto function and event grinding is annoying enough, but I simply don't really enjoy the gameplay anymore, there's barely any strategy and a lot of rng, CQ are just bosses with more broken gimmicks, If I want I can read stories online and I get most of characters dynamics from fanart anyway. Knowing what new servants etc. comes in the future seems like good thing and can hype you, but also remove any surprises and if you know for next year or so there'll be nothing you're interested in it also can be very discouraging. And even when they add something new, you need to play with knowladge you won't get it for next 2 years. On top of that it makes you realize you need to spend 2 more years playing this game to even get to cool stuff and just how much time you spend on it already. And lastly, maybe if people were actually watching my videos, I'd have more motivation to keep going, but barely anyone watches them, and even if I get more than like 10 views, nobody ever comments on videos. If maybe they were more popular and there were some discussion over there about strategies and what not, I'd be more inclined to stay. I'm pretty sure youtube doesn't recommend them to anyone, because I have no subscribers, so not initial views and they're not monetized anyway and all youtube cares about is length of video and ads.

Today is a boring sniper returning stage, shouldn't be difficult for anyone since we all have 15+ snipers laying around. Grab an Eyja if you're having trouble.

Yea. Snipers loved me so I kept dropping them all the time ignoring the fact, now somehow I have more guards, but shh. I'm impressed with myself because I managed to beat it myself, without checking videos for help. Not only that, I beat it with 100% movement speed risk (which was a huge pain).

KK. Thanks

Today's daily is a huge pain. I hate cold/freeze with passion.

Neat. It reminded me of this. Also thread one is also on mangadex just in case.

So I felt like rolling, so I made another 10 roll on banner and was incredibly surprised to get another 6 star. 3 Utage were neat as well, though I kinda hoped for 1 more copy so I can also unlock bonus attack from potential.

Speaking of Eija x Ifrit, there's a r-18 one shot that needs translating: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/84096205

That's really nice. Yes translation please. It makes me happy to see Ifrit happy with her own partner.

I'm relieved the rotating maps are generally easy to clear at risk 8, so that I don't have to spend hours working out strategies.

Y-Yea! spends entire days trying to beat dailies, so she doesn't even have time to work on permanent map

To be fair, it's mainly because most of my operators are still heavily underleveled.

Don't worry, the second week adds new risk tags that make clearing it at risk 18 a lot easier.

Right. They only add them or replace the current ones?

塞雷娅 posted:

Also sidenote, Arknights is honestly really generous with their gacha currency and I've seen a bunch of people say that's exactly why they want to spend money on it. There's also the monthly card that lets you do a 10 pull at a steal while also getting extra sanity daily. This kind of attitude where the game is actually generous with what you can get as F2P makes people want to spend more money on it. I definitely feel a lot better spending money on Arknights than when I whaled on FGO. I still regret whaling on FGO.

Exactly. Not only there's plenty of free stuff and you really feel like you're getting proper value from money spend (mostly thanks to guarantee 5-6 star, but also prices are more reasonable), the drop rates are much better as well, so despite not rolling that much, I have more operators than I can lvl.

Sakura Cartelet. I have no clue why you're ignoring me, so fuck you.
