Current Events > Gacha Game General Topic 33: ''But that's my favorite part...''

(+) Yeah! (+)

That sort of sounds like a salted email. And Ill be quite upset if they changed it so that you cant reroll in their games using that now >:(

I understand that some people dont want to reroll; thats their choice. But to go out of your way to make it extremely difficult or downright impossible to reroll is scummy. Its the biggest reason that I didnt play Genshin Impact. All I wanted was to start the game with Keqing

@funkydog

Do you know if there is still more main story being released for Arknights?

We should get Chapter 11 in a month or so? the Chinese server is getting Chapter 12 in a few days.

Still new main chapters coming out in the game, yeah. Think CN recently had an update to episode 12, or arriving shortly.

Anime is currently working on the 2nd season.

Huzzah! I was worried since I'm finally getting to the end of the Talulah stuff.

I need to check out the anime, I never finished it when I had CR.

I hope Texas Alter is next

I hope Texas Alter is next

The expectation is that the Siracusano event with the Texas alt banner will be around mid-May. We can't have her without Ch. 11 first. We're having the Luo Xiaohei collab next, then...

-Near Light rerun, can farm Loxic Kohl, crystals, and Sugar Packs (estimated to arrive mid-April)
-The Chapter 11 warmup banner and Integrated Strategies #3 (estimated to arrive mid-or-late-April)
-Chapter 11 with the Stainless banner. Ch. 11 also gives us a new material to farm that's needed for Texas alt. (estimated to arrive around a week or so after the warmup banner)
-Il Siracusano, banner with Texas the Omertosa, Penance, and Lunacub, a 6* selector ticket for sale (up to Horn), red shop certificate refresh and addition of Qanipalaat and Quartz, free 6* Vigil. Can farm Orirock Clusters, cutting fluid, and alloy.

Events projected after that, up to where CN is now. Arrival dates are just community estimates, as we could get a different order.

-At some point, probably around Global's half-anniversary and the corresponding limited banner, we should get the Lunar New Year special banner and packages. The special banner is the "the first 6* you draw will be one you don't have from the pool".

-CC #11 Operation Fake Waves (early June)
-Break the Ice rerun, with a rerun of Gnosis' debut banner. Can farm alloy, Polyester Packs, and Grindstone (mid-June)
-What the Firelight Casts, Reed alt banner (not a mini-event, so it will get a rerun later) Can farm sugar, Oriron Cluster, and Semi-Synthetic Solvent (late June or early July)
-Invitation to Wine rerun. Can farm Orirock Clusters, devices, and RMAs. (mid-July)
-Trials for Navigator #2
-Where the Vernal Winds Never Blow, half-anniversary limited banner event with Chongyue and Lin. Can farm Aketons, Manganese Ore, and crystals. (late July or early August)
-Fire Within the Sand
-A Death in Chunfen, Qiubai and Wind Chimes debut banner. A mini-event, so no future rerun. (mid-August)
-Guide Ahead rerun. Fiametta debut banner rerun. Can farm sugar, Loxic Kohl, and gel. (late August)
-Monster Hunter collab event. Kirin X Yato is guaranteed in 120 pulls but the 5*, Rathalos S Noir Corne does not have a guarantee. Can farm polyester, devices, and the new salt material (early September)
-CC #12 Operation Basepoint (late September)
-Chapter 12 (mid or late October)

Yeah, I saw a YT video that confirmed that Higan is trying to hurt rerolls. Their explanation was For stability concern, login as guest will not be available at the moment.

Should've peppered that email too

Look at that fuckin pull holy shit

Apparently stamina in Higan is 6 minutes to replenish 1, and resource stages for raising character level caps take 25. That, combined with the fact that you dont get player exp when doing those stages means you get locked pretty hard when you have to choose between player level and leveling characters :<

Also in the beta survey they asked players if they heard of Honkai Star Rail so its pretty clear theyre just trying to grab whatever cash they can before Honkai kills them later this month lol

Needless to say I uninstalled it :<

Why the fuck are all new gacha horrendous with rerolls and starter currencies? It wasn't like this 5 years ago.

For money, duh.

Although in some cases they maybe just hate money (hurr Project Neural Cloud).

I mean them asking their beta testers if theyve heard of Honkai is basically translated to This game is very clearly a pump and dump; we give zero fucks about its longevity

Oh, they asked that?

Tbf asking about some games isn't exactly a flag.

Well I suppose its not a big issue, but it certainly doesnt help with all the other things hurting the game even before launch. This is the only game that Ive ever pre-downloaded but then uninstalled before it opened lol

PV of the next PGR event

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayn8s2H8opw

-That Karenina skin
-Transcendants start getting finishing moves (Pulao and Roland for now).
-You can now put Transcendants on the same team as normal Constructs but there's a catch
-RIP the "FUCK YEAH!" memes from the CN version of this PV

Just beat integrated strategies for the first time. Almost felt like cheating because I grabbed chen off the bat, but got lucky too because I managed to get Exusai as a temp elite operator. Between her, max level Chen, and max level Mylnar with a drop that constantly increases his sp during battle it was pretty much a cake walk.

What the fuck is JT8-3? Who thought this would be fun?

People who loves 'challenge'.
Or masochists, whichever one would belong to.

JT8-3 pretty much made me drop Arknights lol

That one was a lot of fun for me, definitely better than the silly bird or that one map with a lot of big drones. It is really annoying the first few times you try to clear it and don't know how it works.

The other stage with that boss can go burn in hell though.

JT8-3 is the 'nightingale trivalises' stage really. Just have to time her S3 early enough it comes back for Talulah's 2nd blitz.

Definitely much harder without her. But still nowhere near as annoying as many stages imo. I enjoyed it myself as wasnt the frustrating challenge they sometimes like a little too much and just required either fast redeploy and healer spam or Nightingale.

The real question is did you get the ultimate secret ending or not?!

I believe so.

In the end I ended up just letting her walk through the tower and took an imperfect clear for now, mostly because I thought materials I needed were locked in chapters I haven't got to yet, but realized they were actually just in optional missions I forgot about.-.

LB6 confirmed for Early June.

That still means Melusine isn't until July or so.

Though I do need to actually finish Heian-kyo at some point.

Melusine is probably late June. She has to be before the GSSR at anniversary, or people will throw a fit like they did for the first GSSR when Jack and Mordred weren't on it. And the 6th anniversary event will be around AX, which starts on July 1st this year.

This probably means that the Nerofest rerun will be moved so it isn't in-between the first and second parts of LB6.

Eh, point taken. Like you said, it's been so long since that's been an issue that I figured they'd just say fuck it and screw us over on that. But I actually got Okita out of the very first GSSR, so I suppose I benefited from that rearrangement.

They wouldn't be out of place in Last Origin.

I like the 2nd one.

Speaking of which, I think one of the reviews said that this game ripped off Last Origin lol.

Also Brave Nine is having a DARLING in the FRANXX collab. Im gonna see if they did away with their stupid one stamina refill per day change.

I know the pattern. They all have black on their clothes ez

Last Origin is actually like 5 times lewder tho

I actually wanted to play Last Origin, but its not available in the Apple Store :(

Yeah it's on their discord but only Android. It works on most emulators, and I played it through Bluestacks anyways

But without understanding Korean, it'll be pretty difficult to even get the crazier costumes. Getting the costumes is also pretty inefficient usage of resources but they kinda let you do it. There are multiple ones where it's just straight up nudity. I don't think some of them have any clothes whatsoever

One of the skins I've seen in TAoF is EXTREMELY close to nudity, but barely covers the spots lol

Or you could play Last Origin on PC with an official translation, unless they got rid of it. I tried it once and was completely turned off by a lot of the designs which is a shame because I actually want a gacha with nudity, but no sex scenes.

Nah, I basically only play gachas on the phone since I have so much free time at work. When I'm at home I like playing fighting games with friends online. The only time I play mobile games on an emulator is when I'm auto farming in Epic Seven, because for God knows what reason, they decided to omit any form of skip function :<

They couldn't even do a WotV style auto repeat where it times a run and repeats that even when the game is closed D:

The only girl that eye-catches me in a pure horny mind in Last Origin is Hirume (and I guess Seraphias Alice in her demon costume as 2nd contender).

Still not enough to make me want to play. And I heard the gameplay is just like GFL, but worse (as in too challenging worse).

Looking up Alice and I came across this interesting bit of trivia lol

• The scars appearing on the damaged version of Invitation of the Queen of the Night Skin spell out the words "FUCK ME"

There is sex in LO but only implied. The MC undeniably banged at least 8 of them in the little I played, but they were cutscenes well hidden here and there. Also helped that I played during Valentine's Day. Pathetic? What's more pathetic is that while I stopped gachas, now that I play card games, I'm losing like 75% of the coin flips, no joke

Demian Saga opened today.

VIP system
4 different battle passes for 4 different resources
Lots of servers + keep adding new ones

Ultimate comfy

Im interested, but the engrish has me concerned.

Be glad its not a flat out typo on an extremely important part of the game.

Unless the summons are literally burnt a bit D:

Man I wish I discovered that earlier. I spent $15 because I really wanted that chick, but only now am I seeing the Google Translate Engrish. And of course my rule of thumb is that Google Translate = low quality money grab. Well if not, theres always the possibility of a refund with this. Im going to assume that they mean you can pick one of those characters since Can be obtained by one of the following agents is a but confusing :<
