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...

You know, fuck this cop. He's on the side of the road talking to someone else about a traffic accident, claims to see her illegally pass and 'speed by at a high rate of speed'. No radar gun, no cop car, no lights. His unmarked car was parked '100 meters away' if I remember what he said...

My god. I thought revenge and snuff porn was illegal. That was beautiful. Fuck all of em, but the apology to Asmon, the diss on Piker, the cooperation with the lawsuit going forward, and the recanting of her Palestine grift is fucking amazing. Watching her soul leave her body as she admits...

Its like any cycle in nature and this game very clearly was on the same arc from the outset. You need a mix of wolves and sheep for pvp games w/ some sort of consequence to be sustainable. And to have sheep you have to have fields for them to graze on. Otherwise, they starve and leave and...

The blueprints, so far for me anyway, aren't even really a thing. I have so much money its stupid and I have more fun using cheap shit than I do high end kit. I enjoy the 'zero to hero' gameplay of just finding whatever I can on map and limiting myself to that as I work my way up. As far as...

I am fairly bored with the game having completed all content except for the latest Live Event stuff, so I just pop in on occasion to shoot arcs with a sniper to get experience with bullet drop and travel time. Its not uncommon to have people come try and kill me, though usually I don't stay too...

Welp. Appears the new patch only had 3 quests in it. So much for that. While I was searching for the two quest items you need to find I started finding new stuff I hadn't seen before, so I got mildly excited that maybe there would be new quest lines and crafting. Nope. Least, not this...

Went into Stella Montis. Oddly, my spawn put me right on top of 2 other people, which is concerning. Fortunately it was solos and people were more interested in helping each other out and exploring than shooting each other so I survived spawning in. The new map is, as said above, an...

I have a sneaking suspicion that in their minds there are 'pvp guns' and 'pve guns' and they are not only balancing them with regards to pvp ttk, etc etc, but also trying to have a separation of what people use for pvp and what people use for pve. Most people seem to think the purple guns are...

Is this the one where they were all suing each other because Horizon Zero Dawn's people told the CN company to fuck off, or is this a different release? Just looked it up. That is 'Light of Motiram'. Makes a lil more sense why they rejected Tencent's offer if they were already doing deals...

So new patch dropped. They are 'unlocking' the new zone and promising new enemy types (two if I read the patch notes right, Matriarch and Shredder). However, they locked the new zone behind a 'community' project where we all have to donate a fucktonne of basic materials until we gather up...

I find it funny that everyone is all 'Game of the Year'. Maybe for this year, but by next year I'm curious how many people will still be playing.

Yeah. People have posted getting it in game and the shown the recipe. They could be lying of course, but I don't believe so.

Bettina, Anvil, Venator, Osprey (oh god the ospreys recently) and Torrenti for guns. I rarely see an Il Toro BP. I got the gun parts and those seem decently common. Supposedly depends on what you open, but I make a habit of opening all the drawers and lockers I can but yeah. There needs to...

I truthfully don't think you are missing much in the long run. I expect this game to burn brightly and then burn out. Unless they really keep up a good content release schedule the game quickly devolves into a 'well, what now?' bit where farming materials and guns is easy, especially with the...

If you can, save stacks of the high end trinkets cause the last stage of the expedition is to donate so much monetary value from each 'class' of item to the expedition. IIRC, its Weapons, Augments/shields/quick items, trinkets/nature/blueprints, and crafting material as the 4 categories.

I have 1 rusted gear. Was saving it for my friend but I think he's moved to another game. As to the hidden bunker, I was hoping it rotated, but the one time I got to it and it seems for you as well it was in the same place. To the SW of the map. On a night map you can actually look down...

Yeah. Seen Volcanic rocks a few times. On the SPaceport night map, w/sw of it (I'll get a more precise location later) there is a door to a bunker and if you go on top the mound you can look down in cause the roof is partly damaged. Haven't figured out how to get inside atm. I /think/ that...

Also coming to add that the late spawn in mechanic needs review. I'm now to the point of exploring for puzzles and hidden shit (looking for the underground bunker in spaceport currently.) and spawning in late pretty much means the sortie was pointless. Having half the map time already elapsed...

My new hot take with this game is the blueprint system seriously needs a review. I am at 100hrs in the game and I'm doing runs of raider caches, bags, grenade tubes, and security lockers and I have never seen a wolfpack blueprint. Wolfpacks trivialize a number of the 'mini bosses' like the...

I have heard some discussion back and forth on other forums on if doing the Expedition gave in game advantages wrt to skills or not, can confirm you can get up to 5 bonus skill points depending on value of the loot you have at the start of the expedition. No idea what that number scale looks...

The word that I heard is that with the end of the Ascian arc (Lol, they'll be back) and the beginning of Dawntrail they were going to let their understudies take more of a foreground role in writing and development of the game. This would give Ishikawa and company a break and see how the...

Yeah. I'm seeing constant 'network latency' warnings in the right side of my screen mid sortie now. It wasn't this bad before, but something is definitely going on making it even worse. Also... Security Breach perk is broken in a good/dumb way. Once you have it, just speed run the security...

Third person with low tick rate servers is going to be extremely tough to keep the hard core pvp'rs long term and frankly that might be the best for Arc Raiders. If you have seen the video of Shroud killing a group of 3 from the perspective of Shroud and then the people he killed you can see a...

I think the mixed hybrid of PvE with PvP extraction for cosmetics and other loot has a good future potential. Tarkov has added a pve mode, the Divisions PVE with the PVP extraction mode, and even the latest Mechabreak, a 'Overwatch' style mecha game that has an extraction mode for cosmetics and...

If you need the surveyor vaults, I have 2 on hand I don't need and can just go into a raid with them in my prison pocket and swap them over to you.
