@file17462 That is true, but AK events are quite time sinkers that I need to plan before doing them. Like I need enough free time to clear the stages and all while juggling with other games, irl stuff and other hobbies of mine. Just so much to do ;^;
@FirasDuqarael_ The thing is that we still have dead weeks, that is what makes me angry. They could run Trials during the second week of a rerun, or in the dead week we had before after Silberneherze, but they put it here when there are already is a new IS update, RA, new SSS maps, special stages for the limited events, it is absolutely bonkers. And then we still end up with dead weeks in between.
Also for people who don't know which makes sense because the game literally never tells you (trash tutorial again), RA has a hard mode (yellow icon) and a standard mode (blue icon) which is located in the title screen of the event. Unlike IS (even though hard mode is barely rewards different) there is no reward value for doing hard mode, it's purely for challenge, as if this mode isn't challenging enough. Make sure it's on standard mode (don't worry it doesn't reset your progress), this may be why a lot of you are struggling on the mode.
@@JADATH650 No problem, I am on day 40, so I remember day 30 is the boss from the first RA and that is when he approaches your base. He's very easy on standard mode with Arts, a really good tank plus healers, and good CC for the goons (Manticore with module is queen for CC), but hard mode makes him unbearable and much more unit-dependent. I glad I was able to help reduce your suffering :)
I'm so confused what Yostar did with the schedule, we have tons of dead weeks between events, but for some reason they stuffed like 5 different things into the Shu event period for no particular reason. For example the Firelight cast event looks like it will end in something like a dead week between it and R6S, and it makes absolutely no sense why Trials of the Navigator isn't placed there instead of an event that also runs the first time and not during the second week of a rerun event.
@@madam_korique yes youre right but i worded my question really poorly, what i meant was that we dont have a 50/50 system where if you dont get the rate up operator then the next 6 star will guarantee you the rate up
@@ak_oneoneone I think the system we have is much better, honestly. We have the 150 pity on feature banners and as expensive as it is, the 300 on limiteds, and given the rather rapid pace you can stockpile Orundum, it's not that bad. I'd much rather have this than something like Genshin where, sure, there's the 50/50, but the 5* rates there are _0.7%._ AK has nearly 3x that. I think AK has a good balance.
@@ArkeusWolf okay now i understand that but feel bad on those people having terrible luck and ending up not getting the rate up that they want. But now i kinda get why the rates are why they are since AK is a different game than lets say genshin where in genshin we can only play up to 4 characters, where AK the squad is up to 12 and/or 13 since it is a TD gacha game. AK is all about having niches and roles to fulfill, it encourages players to play however they want to play.
That system is only recently added to that certain game I will not named, so game like AK having pity system that does not guarantee next pull is rated up one is actually more common. While it's great having 5050 pity system, AK itself does not releasing limited characters every 3 weeks so you can always be patient and save up gold cert until they're on shop. Yes it would take a year or more for them to be on shop but it more or less the same time like that certain game rerun character time, difference is you have small chance to get the ops when pulling outside it rated up banner (except limited ops obviously, which happen rarely compared to every 3 weeks)
Bruh we got RA#2, S stages from the event, SSS grinding, and Trials for Navigator #4 all at the same time. I know one is permanent, but they all require so much time, Trials for Navigator always takes a few hours even with guides (if not spending hours doing trial and error on this unfair mode) due to all of the nonsense you have to do like doing all of the missions to prevent grinding. The S stages and mini annihilation were a piece of cake and only took around an hour. But as much as I enjoy it, RA #2 is a different beast, and Dr.Silvergun is another beast fighting all of those bosses in the endgame. Also dang it kinda sucks that some people don't like RA #2 as much as I do, but I definitely get it. It tests the strength of your account as you can't bring any support units and if you haven't played the previous one, things are not going to make sense. If you are resorting to point farming (which is literally not playing the game mode until the bosses show up), it's completely understandable. If there is anyone who wants a big guide for RA #2 in the meantime, I really recommend Dr.Sockrates, he's a RA veteran and explains almost every detail and new parts of the mode
You find the trials harder than AG2? AG2 has got to be the worst game mode ever dumped in this game. SSS and DOS are less annoying time sinks. I hear it gets better after 60 hours, but I'm not playing 60 hours in a side mode of a mobile game just so I can play the rest of the side mode decently.
@@whitemagus2000 No I did not find the trials harder, as I have most of the recent units, but I do not like the mode as much as I did before because as you said, the other modes are less annoying time sinks. To get to level 45, you have to do all of the missions which are manual labor (deploy an operator (Gravel and Ines) 50 times wtf), all trials and the ultimate trial, which is basically a boss killer check. It only takes a few hours, but it's not fun since the trials are basically the same with minor changes. I am going to assume that for AG2, you mean Reclamation Algorithm 2, but yeah to each its own, but personally, IS is more tedious for me and takes longer than 60 hours to reward farm because it's so boring and repetitive. I like RA for its uniqueness rather than just being another tower defense mode with extra steps, and I don't have to juggle with RNG to use my hard-worked on operators, I can always use the ones I want. But I can not deny that RA is very time-consuming and is not for everyone, similar to IS. Plus I heard that it burns or lags some people's phone a lot so reward farming is warranted in that sense.
You have convinced me to pull on this special banner (as i have none of the 6*), and i FINALLY got myself a Dorothy! :D Would've really liked Qiubai, too, but Dorothypog is love.
I really like SSS now! The only thing I don't like is that the maps are all temporary. I'm hoping I'll get a chance to try all the ones I previously ignored (along with the first time clear rewards).
It also makes no sense financially, they put so much effort into making these maps and unique bosses just to have them fade away after a few months. My guess is that there will be some kind of event when all stages are open (similar to some of the Annihilation events where all stages are open for a time), because otherwise it would just be a waste of development time.
So, after all these events one on top of the other, we get a bit of a rest between the What the Firelight Casts rerun and Operation Lucent Arrowhead I'll finally be able to seriously sit down and play RA2. So far, I've only played the tutorial and it looks kinda fun
look forward to RA2 video.. need to know how to farm efficiently, or if there's other "passive income" like rice structure in base (my base only lv.3 atm (also, please give your opinion about Ela & Ash's performance in Arknights.. are they worth it? limited not necessarily good..)
I think they speed up the schedule a bit because, as leaks say, the next build for Arknights endfield is already ready, so they want to do it as soon as possible. It is connected with the babel event and will probably be in early October.
She is good, but not OP, even with the telport trick. I find that she gets taken out by medium to heavy hitters fast. Her Def is just kinda low to balance things out.
Been busy for this week and they decided to release all in one day. Not to mention other games... Yea I'd be busy in the weekends finishing all the ones I can finish lol.
I would like to defend Passenger to refrain from scaring anyone pulling on the Joint op banner - I think he’s very, very good and he’s one of my favorite units to use, especially in other game modes. They don’t call him the IS-2 God for nothing, and he also carried me to defeat Izumik.
My first time playing this and in the first stage my degenbrecher fully.max killed her evil clone.... them also kill everyone on the other site... except the last boss cos he continue to teleport 😢
I can't wait to crush TN-4 beneath endless ranks of operators EDIT: OMG I'M FAMOUS!!!!!! Edit 2: I do regularly farm SSS when the rewards are available for the modules but that's it.
That is such a shitty event for new player I’m sorry but they really don’t think about new players with those events yes that’s a rant but it is not nice especially for the rewards
Why are there SO MANY EVENTS RUNNING??! This is just too much for me to play and keep up with while my free time is already so thin 😭
Just two events, the third one is a permanent game mode.
@FirasDuqarael_ I'd rather have a dead week as I can't keep up with this many events from several games, along with irl stuff ;-;
@file17462 That is true, but AK events are quite time sinkers that I need to plan before doing them. Like I need enough free time to clear the stages and all while juggling with other games, irl stuff and other hobbies of mine. Just so much to do ;^;

I thought arknights' pity is 60 pulls?

On Wisadel's event, iirc.
@@velvetra29 COGGERS! FOR REAL?! NICE!
Would you want Arknights to implement a skip auto-farm function (like Annihilation)? How much do you think would it impact the game and community?
