Congrats!

You are high on cocaine if you think that. HG if anything has shown most innovation than any mobile gacha game out there in their events, gamemodes etc Roguelikemode with interactive mechanics (some arent but most of them are), Reclamation algorythm (A new perspective of seen a tower defense game), SSS (card mode within a TD game) They have been explored many ways to give the players different experiences meanwhile using the TD genre as a core, which not many gacha mobile games do (not even genshin impact in 3 years with all those crappy minigames) The statload its a way to balance the game since they are given away a lot of buffs to the players (modules/broken units) have u seen how is the game with texas alter and yato alter? Its a joke if the enemies don't have res/def increased, surely that'd make clear why they went through that route. And that's not new at all in gacha mobile games, in fact the majority of gacha games make the modes feel "harder" by increasing stats.

Wait this is something people are struggling with? I haven't been keeping up with stuff and just assumed the problem with the event was that it was too easy. I did 600 without really thinking at all.

@@SenaMeushihow long was your clear?

It's kind of just CC in name, still uses the same points system and similar UI as POO, though they made it less messy and more readable. From what I've seen though it's not as egregious as this one just by map and enemies alone, can't say anything about the tags tho.

You brought up a very good point, they're very adamant on keeping things fresh for the old players that they don't really try to get new players to come in. I've had situations like these myself, where I have friends that'd start playing only to drop it a few days or weeks later cause the manual grind is too tedious. They are implementing things like Kernel Locating and in the future, the ability to auto multiple times, which are nice but the fact that it took them this long to implement them is not a good look. I think having some sort of trial stages with fixed built operators like some events have in the past, but with the solution more open-ended and the ability to choose the operators you want to bring can be fun. It also allows newer players to try out operators they might want to build or pull for. Make it permanent and rotating. Otherwise, increased mats drop rate, chance to drop boxes like in chapter events, and access to all farming stages for the first week of playing could be good too. Or just make an IS mode where temporary recruitment is guaranteed, can't go wrong with that.

@@dragonversee tbh, I'm not sure how HG would improve the new players experience for as much as I complain. I heard someone suggest instant promotion tickets at specific levels or something. I've personally struggled with the tedium lol, not that other gacha games don't have this problem but in Arknights I just didnt enjoy starting over on an alt either of the times I did it. Multi run auto is an exciting addition, but 6 month gap strikes again. Not so sure about Kern(a?)l locating since pulling a limited operator is just overall better (the limited system is its own whole issue) or I guess the usual rate ups and considering the incessant 50 50 fails in this game. I don't remember if kernal (what a weird name) ops or available only in kernal banner or if they're also available through standard headhunting. I think HG is trying to make the game modes newbie friendly in a way? Like SSS which got multiple nerfs (aside but personally I enjoyed how difficult it was). But they could've just considered these game modes as side content and give temporary ops to use as you mentioned. Like in SSS, make the available recruits post initial selection random temp ops at max level, IS, make that one temp ops rate up its own little side thing so people can actually play it and progress the battle pass (though i believe this was only one of the deep exploration on IS2?), etc etc. They had something good and interesting going with Trial for Navigator, but completely screwed it up in the latest run. Above all else though I just think the grind needs to be eased. Lower sanity consuming stages should at least be much shorter or have higher battle sanity cost and higher drop quantity with how many of them and how much of them need to be farmed early on. Early players could also use leniency during events, so they can farm what they need to while getting shop currency instead of being relegated to farming the same 9-18 sanity stage farming hundreds of grey/green tier mats they might not need. Of course, obligatory base management. It's value is crazy but the amount of time and ops it takes to really work well is crazy too. But who knows, maybe the polls I saw were just skewed to the endgame players that are watching the creators, and all the early-midgame players are just off in their own place enjoying the game. The game has progressed too much from its release, imo improvements are coming too slow compared to the content.

​@@marielcarey4288Kernal Operators are only available in the Kernal banners and Recruitment. The 5 and 6 stars, that is, 4 star and lower are still available in all banners.

​@@marielcarey4288 On the contrary, I actually quite enjoy starting over and doing some dumb account challenge. I've made multiple alts in the past, and while I've dropped most of them, it's always because I'm either busy or doing events multiple times becomes a chore. I guess that curiosity or just simply the will to challenge yourself helps through the tedium. Kernel Locating is meant to help players basically put the operator they want on rate-up or buy from the shop, granted it's limited to operators from launch to Aak/Ceobe but you do still have solid picks like Saria, Ifrit, Eyja, or Schwarz. Also yeah, operators in Kernel Headhunting (not Locating) are permanently removed from Standard Headhunting so you can't get them from off-banner anymore. I do understand the argument of just going for limited banners though, with how often it occurs and how most limited operators are either broken or really good, it's definitely a safe option. And I forgot to mention earlier but they're making it so that after 150 pulls, the next 6* is guaranteed on-banner which is way too high for a pity and it doesn't even guarantee it on the 150th pull, it guarantees it after so you can technically get it after 200. As for HG nerfing SSS, I think it's just cause having such high difficulty for something you need to farm every now and then is annoying and the community expressed that. I don't think it's really directed for newbies, after all you wouldn't really be farming modules so early on anyway. I think it's more likely that they'd make it so you can just skip the stages entirely rather than tampering with sanity cost and drop rates. Though they can take the middle road and do it like Reverse 1999 where you run the stage once but get multiple runs worth of rewards. For events, I think it's just the universal experience of many gacha games. When an event drops, all you can do is farm it, else you miss out on rewards. What I usually do with newer accounts is use the rewards in the shop to upgrade my operators to a point where I can farm any of the blue mats and just stockpile that. Though that comes from experience and knowing the worth of stockpiling long-term and is not something new players would know intuitively especially when the need to progress now far outweighs the need to save up for later. In terms of base management, coming from starting multiple accounts' worth of experience, getting a 252 going is much faster than you expect. Of course you do have to sacrifice a bit of progress to focus on base and some base workers. But if you're allocating your resources wisely, you're looking at maybe a decently comfortable amount of resources at 1-2 months. But again, it's very much something I know from experience, so it'd be expected for newer players to get theirs set up slower and thus prolonging that grind. It's expected for gacha games to release contents and events so quickly, especially ones like AK where events are only 2-3 weeks long at most. Playing Star Rail and Reverse 1999 lately, with their month long events have kinda made me realize that maybe it's something AK can do as well. It helps people who are busy and can't do the events right away, and newbies who just started can take their time with the event. Of course, it'll cause complications with dead weeks and having less events between limited banners. But I mean, if you're done farming the event, it's practically dead week anyway and who tf decided to have limited banners every few months. I do very much agree that for a game this old, AK churns out QoL improvements at a very slow pace. We only got annihilation skip tickets like a year ago, and it took them almost 5 years to implement multiple autos. Heck, claim all button wasn't even available on launch. Looking back, it does look very baffling.

Yes, reward is kinda smoll

I dont really get the complaints about the rewards. Yes they're quite a step down from orange/yellow tokens but the high tier mats are quite substantial. It doesnt look so bad when you look at it like a standard event shop minus the pulls or operator tokens. Remember that before, CC didn't have operators or skins and added them gradually. Also POO just isnt a very big event and assuming you use a guide and dont resort to iteration hell youll notice its much shorter than other events. I think the shop is fine, the event just isnt great.

also I like the event shop being small because if you don't want to do it you don't have to. Though you aren't heavily rewarded for your efforts. Pluses and minuses

@@marielcarey4288 The problem is that the rewards are too small for the challenge that it presents. I, for instance, needed to spend several hours to clear 540, only to then notice I only get the medal if I clear 600. In CC, it was fairly doable for a long time player to clear risk 18 in the first week, and the rewards would be quite nice. I for one really liked the supply boxes. I never opened them, I just keep them since they look so nice.

I just did it for Friston, no way I got invested in LoneTrail and not get my boy Friston from the event he was released on.

rewards aint even worth it bruh 😭

@@reqoil2138 isn't it like 100+ T3 items which is worth 2500 sanity during an event?

first event as a new player that i literally cannot complete. it's really not looking good at all.

@@spld3rp1g when did you start? I started Feb. 14th ish and failed to complete Dorothy's vision but didn't have any ops pretty much. What could you complete at the very beginning?

@@zodkip3147 idk where those numbers came from but the reward for 600 difficulty is a medal in no world is that worth the stress lol

Tbf, whats special about medals anyway if they dont take effort to acquire? Theyre just bragging rights anyway

the more we hate it the more they raises the bar :,)

Endfield is coming out, conceivable that most of the main team has long been relocated there. Sad thing is, EF looked like a pointless mesh up of Factorio lite and HSR with the stereotypical un-flashy, shper-hard-to-hype art style of HG/AK. So now BOTH of HG's main IPs is going straight down the toilet. They really abandoned AK for THAT thing...

@@tempota7792 not interested too much in Enfield, character design is good but combat and everything else isn't that special to me, even ZZZ, I feel like they don't compare to HSR or GI

@@marielcarey4288 nothing special about them, you could just ignore them, like I could, but for those who like to collect and are completionist may find it unfair and tiring

The inherent problem with Pinch-Out is that it's very uninspired compared to most CC. The map itself doesn't have interesting mechanics that would change how you play (i.e. Cinder's vent or Dawnseeker's darkness mechanic), which is understandable since it's DV-themed, but that's also the problem. DV's mechanics ARE the enemies, and they could've made it more interesting, say like making it so the dormant power suits slowly regenerate SP or since they act as blockades, you can move their spawns to change the enemy's initial pathing. But they chose the lazy way of just making the risks a statbloat, even though DV enemies already have quite high base stats. Another problem I touched on in the video, and it may just be a personal problem for me, but a huge part of CC is beating it with your own squad and strategy. As I said, even Risk 18 was doable for a newer account, with multiple different strategies too if you have access to the operators. Now, I'm not saying 540 is not doable for lower-end squads, but from what I've seen, it all boils down to bring a bunch of defenders and healers and let Mlynar do the damage. Having the maximum reward be really difficult to get is already discouraging, but needing a specific strategy to clear it is even more so. At the end of the day, if you like it then good for you. I'm just conveying what a portion of the community thinks and what I think as well. I personally don't mind a little bit of tedium and there are things about POO that I like, but with Arknights having been around for almost 5 years now on CN, you do have a certain expectation for quality. With CC being one of the most beloved game mode, I think it's just fair that the players would be disappointed when it was replaced for something that's ultimately not as well-made.

@@dragonversee Yeah, I managed three hundred risk fine with a relatively new account, so that's why I thought it was good. But watching some 600 risk attempts now I get what you mean. I'll also probably do 540 with a guide, if the unlocked risks from rotating sites don't throw me a line

how to spot a masochist

I only start playing around 6 months ago so i could only participate in 2 CC but man, POO sucks CC11 was my first CC but it regarded as easiest CC yet people still enjoy it including myself very much, i think because CC was essentially "choose your own fight" type of deal if people find it way too easy they'll just play with their niches and trying to problem solve it on different way, there's so many impressive clear throughout CC1 to CC12 even i never ever gonna experience it myself, i still get some joy and genuinely found it fascinating how people play the game their own way because it's ultimately what makes AK special for me "creativity" also huge testament how they design CC with Variant difficulty,Completely fair, lenient and ultimately well design. and Now POO, when i tried to do 300 points for the mission i knew straight up what's going on. i didn't research about POO before release so when im looking up how's the R18 gonna looks like, its really dire. it's either "kill everything but the last 2 gundam for shorter time" or " kill everything and stall for 3-4 hours" im like what the hell ?i dont think its an improvement from CC or increasing the difficulty. its seriously just a stat bloat, like those FF boss absolute virtue that took 18 hours to defeat. there's no fun, it's tedious and ultimately everyone bring the same unit to solve the problem an completely Killed all the creativity. where's the casterknight?Supportknight,liberiknight,sarkazknight, or any niche people would attempt on every CC? POO clearly failure from design stand point, i havent seen anything beyond this point but if next POO will be the same as this it'll honestly kill my enjoyment for the high end content for AK.

The permanent map sucks and the risks force 600p+ to either become a damage and healing check or a long, long arduous stall. 540 is a lot closer to normal CC Risk 18 in difficulty, but again, Rhine Labs enemies.

we still have week 2 with more risk options, don't give up just yet

@@dragonversee update: I did it and got sss thx u

Yeah you will cry for sure

Knife vs Arrow in kazimierz

She's the last one standing Even then she started get challenged by Reed alter

I think saria is still one of the best characters nothing really competes

@@mcbill7352 she's a god

Why not?
