Quite a few people do play this on phones and tablets. Tablets especially. One part of 'gacha' games is the 'maintenance mode' period where you've done most the content and all you are doing is logging in to do your dailies so that you can maximize your currency for the next banner and prep...

I feel they tried to have their cake and eat it too. Originally it was supposed to be set with Arknights OG as 'distant history' but I think at a point they got scared about moving their playerbase to the new one and decided to go with splitting the baby. Lots of key jangles and memberberries...

I've given it some thought as I've reviewed Arknights' lore in my head and gone back to reread some of it and to be honest, you're better off enjoying Endfield if you are only passingly familiar with it in broad strokes and don't dive into it too much. Arknights lore itself is pretty...

Oh God. I semi sorta forgot how messy Arknights is. So... it just so happens Terra was inhabited before they started terraforming it with Originium by a race called the Teekaz. These are the predecessors of the Sarkaz, the 'demon' looking race with horns and a tail. They kinda couldn't keep...

Asking 'Whats the story' in Arknights is likely to get you a complete doctoral thesis cause original AK's story is full of mystery boxes, world politics, hidden behind the scenes bullshit and all kinds of crap. Its not bad, though personally I'm really kinda peeved cause they pivoted awhile...

I don't know if I agree with his final conclusion about lack of trust, but he presents a pretty interesting argument for how the expansion was supposed to be about Koana and not Wuk as the main heir. It never made sense to me how someone who was raised in the country and knew everyone and loved...

One thing this game really needs is a way to ID people at a distance. The models and cosmetics are bland and shit and make it so everyone looks sorta the same and I have to think that is on purpose. But, I'm generally peaceful. I see no real reason to shoot people in game cause usually I am...

Full naked is fun, but other than challenge its ultimately pointless except for very specific things (transferring items between players) when you can just do a freebie run, immediately extract and trade your freebie kit for a green augment. There is no reason you should ever be poor to a level...

After a certain point you've 'done everything' in the game. You've pretty much maxed everything out and there really isn't that much left to do. Most extraction shooters handle this by doing character wipes in seasons. After a certain point, all progress is reset and you start over from zero...

So... if I started doing the Christmas event and start gathering items they are all gonna vanish when the expedition happens. So, should I wait on stockpiling items for the event till after? Seems kinda odd.

I am just going to say it. All their cosmetic designs look like ass. Its like they took some 5 year old down to the old prop warehouse and told him to just slap shit together. And hey that is obviously the intent, so fair enough. You can't even mix and match pieces. Also, pet peeve. Not a...

I guess the 'game' aspect of it for me is does it have a fail state? If it doesn't have a fail state, it is an interactive story more so than a game. A find your own adventure so to speak. Now, we can discuss what is a fail state. Does getting the 'bad ending' count as a fail state...

My focus was Security Locker, Stamina regen while walking, and breach speed/quiet. That has worked well for me, though I am not super big into pvp. I have watched a few videos breaking down the skill tree and at least when the comparisons were made, a lot of the 3pts in vs 5pts in made no...

IIRC, and according to the Wiki, grey guns take simple gun parts to upgrade and you can't make those via BP. So... if you are just using grey shit even those BPs don't matter.

The expedition rewards for the work required seem pretty meh. I personally think all the cosmetics in this game kinda look like ass, so unless this one wows I doubt I'd give a shit about it. The 5 skill points would be nice, but 5million is a lot. I have 177hrs in currently, max level and I'm...
