Hope everyone's still enjoying the game and events. Having fun with the current event, got Dorothy off the banner, but also wanted to rant about the dialog because I'm probably skipping 90% of it at this point and wanted to see how everyone else felt about it. I get that conspiracies and big ominous events are a big part of AK's story but I'm just tired of every conversation being two people talking past each other while their dialog carries three different levels of meaning. Very anime.

Spent like a good 100 pulls for dorothy cause no idea why. Skipped story this time around cause lifes got me too busy for AK dialogue. Event stages so far were pretty easy but the surprise special stages were nice. I guess they want the big anime tropes are there cause they want story lines for the future and to keep interest of players to come back. The writing having multiple meanings is just writers being writers imo. A simple story without without being connected to some real world thing or being a metaphor is just too simple for people who have their head up their ass. This goes for all writing of course not just AK.

On regards to the writing, AK localization has always been bad, reading Chinese fiction is exhausting because of their descriptive way of writing, I've only been reading events with my favourite characters in it for a long while. Anything that people consider peak, especially with Arknights has been done better before.
This whole moon thing is literally just Nier, FFXIV, any other JRPG.
Lost everything + 26 bucks for Mlynar better be worth it in the future. Now i gotta scrape what i can for texas alt. Fell for the April fools prank too.

I've wanted him as a playable character since his first appearance as an NPC in the game. Him being a meta god (allegedly) and voiced by Kiritsugu were just amazing bonuses for me.
I still have about 60 pulls left currently but I'm never lucky on limited banners, and lord knows we have plenty of them coming up. Good luck brother.
10 pull didn't get me the six star but got the other 2. Story was good a bit of a slow start but the ending stuff was pretty huge. Too bad it wont pay off for over a year. Stages were easier than chapter 10. Also I'm almost at 10 million LMD.

hello again
it's been like, what, 4 months? anyways, today is a special day, since the Monster Hunter collab event finally arrived to Global, yay
I didn't save that much but I'll make sure to get yato alter no matter what(tfw ash banner never again), might whale it up if needed- Nevermind, just got her shortly after writing this, it took only me 20 pulls loooooool
also, here is the menu
we also got another event related to Sargon, something about surviving for a certain amount of days and managing your resources, can't say that much since I'm just playing it now, and as usual, a skin is in the list of rewards for playing it, for Pallas in this case
Had to spend 30$ to get Yato. Got her on pull 70. Levels easy. Don't know about the new game mode seems boring. Might just do it until i get the tickets and skins.
Hope you all have good pull luck!
talk about dead threads, and it's not even a dead game, sad! in any case, for those that somehow don't know, the R6S collab 「A C T II」started a few days ago, with the usual freebie x10 and such
Managed to get all 3 of them in 50 pulls
Personally speaking I have no idea what lowlight sees in R6S, not that I hate it that much, at least something occured, the destiny collab is still in the limbo as far as I know, it's quite funny the quantity of hours lowlight had invested in Destiny doe(according to his steam account)
I'm really enjoying the enemy design this event. It's really bringing some niche units to the forefront. I haven't had an especially good reason to use whisperrain in ages, for example. But there's just so much incidental stun.

I don't know dick or shit about R6S but I do quite like the design of the collab operators and wound up rolling to pity for Ela (while getting Thorns and Irene in the process, which is handy since those are two of my most wanted ops), I probably won't do the same for Ash with Wiš'adel coming up but I'll try for the five stars on her banner anyway. My roster's finally getting filled out enough where I'm feeling comfortable throwing team setups at the harder quests without needing a guide, there's only a small handful of meta units I'm missing at this point.
Kemono people fighting in some alternative history European war, I sleep.
The last Steam Knight asleep for 100 years awakens when a newly discovered queen reclaims her birthright and single-handedly turns the tide of battle and slays the Act's major villain. Real shit.
I'm not even a fan of Arknights. I'm just wondering why you have something as cool as a Steam Knight with the body of a soldier trapped inside like a 40k Dreadnought and not make a full mech game outta that.

I can see why they wouldn't. A dedicated mech specialization narrows the scope a bit, amd mostly centralizes the story about whose mecha is better. I do appreciate that there are multiple flavors at various places in the story, though. The mad max styled big ugly strikes a stark contrast to the faded glory of the victorian steam knights and the sleek space age engineering of Colombian powered armor.
If you haven't seen the latest story, it's about the oldest recorded type. Some kind of long lost Sarkaz witchcraft was used to bind the mind of the subject into a golden automata so he could guard the vault for all time.
Dropped out a while back (I think the Golden Age was the last event I was in) but overall it was great for what it was. Shifted over to Blue Archive/Path to Nowhere which are more my speed.

I just like the aesthetics, maaaaaaaaaaaan. I can get past the Furries, and Kemonomimi. Besides, what other setting out there has an event that can be described as the Carnival Funhouse mirror versions of the English Army and the IRA teaming up to push the Jewish analogues out of London?
Thread's dead, so here's a longpost about a Recent Happening:
A few updates ago, Arknights finished adding English voices for all of the characters which included Rosmontis. Rosmontis was, as of Chapter 7 (her NPC debut and not long before her playable banner), explicitly stated to be 14 years old and is clearly mentally stunted. Who did they pick to voice her?
An “enby” (tl: delusional woman) who happily waves the troon flag of course!
Yup, that's the kind of person I want voicing my 14 y/o character and various other child characters.
Said EN VA has since gone private as "gacha grail" (a stupid term coined to label anyone who isn't 110% approving of queer bullshit) 'harassed' her for very obvious reasons, but not before showing how “little” the “hate” hurts (archive link since the account is currently locked.)

For those who don't know, Arknights also has a content creators program. In the recent 6th Anni stream they showcased a bunch of names from the program, with people noting that multiple "well-known" content creators weren't in while a certain someone’s name had shown up.
GuardianZETI is a pretty infamous VTuber who also participates in the Project Moon community. He was 'cancelled' for defending PM during early days of the Vellmori incident, and ever since then he’s horseshoed and swung hardcore into right wing.
And succeeded at making Yostar bend the knee, because Yostar is clearly desperate for any sort of "positivity" from the community after the multiple fuckups they've been having across multiple projects (Arknights Global server inclusive).
Yes, of course the zopney person has pronouns and a Ukraine flag in profile. How could you tell?
So now we know Yostar/Hypergryph considers the following as of equal severity:
1. Visiting a Japanese War Crime Shrine (Platinum's previous JP VA)
2. Participating in a book reading which mentioned the Uyghur genocide (Elysium's previous JP VA) - Funny how Ukraine "genocide" isn't okay, but it's fine to coonsoom a Chinese product when the country also participates in "not okay genocide".
3. Associating their IP with Korean "Feminism" movements (that Saria incident a couple of years ago)
4. Hating on troons
And that takes priority over actually addressing the recent decline in game handling, such as:
1. Path of Life Retrospective being listed as Dissociative Recombination for the entire event duration
2. This month's Certificate and Distinctions shop missing certain items (Coagulative Nodules and Module Blocks respectively). This one has been fixed, but there's been no post from official sources acknowledging it AFAIK. TL;DR:
Kill trannies. Behead troons. Roundhouse kick a tranny into the concrete. Slam dunk a pooner into the trashcan. Crucify filthy troons. Defecate in a pooners food. Launch trannies into the sun. Stir fry troons in a wok. Toss pooners into active volcanoes. Urinate into a trannies gas tank. Judo throw troons into a wood chipper. Twist pooners heads off. Report trannies to the IRS. Karate chop trannies in half. Curb stomp pregnant pooners. Trap troons in quicksand. Crush trannies in the trash compactor. Liquefy pooners in a vat of acid. Eat troons. Dissect troons. Exterminate pooners in the gas chamber. Stomp pooner skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate trannies in the oven. Lobotomize troons. Mandatory abortions for pooners. Grind trannies in the garbage disposal. Drown troons in HRT. Vaporize trannies with a ray gun. Kick old troons down the stairs. Feed pooners to alligators. Slice trannies with a katana.
