As someone who have years in arknights gacha can say it is good. The biggest joke is that Hypergryph company behind Arknights creation is a music company and then Gacha and etc. So music direction is always great in all PV for events or character songs. I would say they first season bit lore heavy and is worst in terms of story, mostly rough start of gacha story that was revised. Second season and Third is where the peak of AK storytelling... There is a lot to cover storywise so 3rd season won't end Chapter one (out of 2 which ending soon on CN, global is behind as typical gacha but by 6 months only).
So moving away my bias as gamer and purely on anime. I would say it's decent and good if you can close your eyes on some aspects. The minus are typical anime tropes of child protagonist, amnesiac main character, child is face of the organization. Pluses would be that it is really grounded world building with big premise on suffering of incurable disease and treatment of poor/ill/different race and even specific racism against one race.
So give it a thought, if you enjoyed a bit first season then second will be even better.

Thanks for the hard work!
Even though I don't post much so mostly ignore all those messages, still it is a big problem. Until we get it sorted out having tools like these helps stop "bleeding" by people who want to use kbin.
Had few pop up on my magazine ~~even though there is barely a traction~~ but saw few times bloat when posted on other magazines which is really discouraging.

Played 1,2,4 and 5 .
Mechanics I would say I liked 4 compared to 1,2 while 5 has formula a bit reinvented so it's different at all in good and bad ways.
Story wise 1,2 and 4 are great, 5 story is meh.
So if you want to try after 4 the 5th... Just tune out of the story, it's not even close to others. Personal stories in 5 are kinda good but overall story is trash.
So yeah Valvatorez main plot is great so definitely get that one if you itching for Disgaea.

Everyone gives solid advice, so I will point you to trusty https://fedidb.org/software .
Mostly to see stats of Fediverse but also the soft that is available. Maybe you find one that suit you.

@Asudox

Mention work OK
Thought bot will show up on Kbin but didn't
There is some issues that some users aren't showing up on kbin.social but wanted to test it anyway.

After waiting last day and having 160~ pulls. Got 2 Swire2 and GG before last 50~ pulls so had to use gold certs and managed to nab Eyja2. Still keeping with I only need to spark CNY operators and have other limited. ~~Sparking Eyja2 next year when yo have all summer limited would be such pain.~~

The story about music, new experiences and tragic future. Lingering Echoes returns and the annoying beams that help from some enemies while others will use it against you.

Want to promote our community before global anniversary starts on 16 January or later.
More active part is reddit arknights discord r/arknights discord invitation so if you want to chat with people who are still on reddit and people who aren't there anymore, this is where you meet them. Lots of activity there so if you have any game related questions someone will answer you.

Less active part is our Kbin magazine (community) at https://kbin.social/m/arknights or https://lemmy.ca/c/arknights@kbin.social /arknights@kbin.social .
Many people tried out but not many stuck with it and as there is no active communities dedicated to arknights, will try to keep our magazine up.

If you know any lemmy community dedicated to arknights then I would really appreciate if you point me to some.

Hortus De Escapismo is here! Ideal city was last time when unit with Ammo mechanic come to global and now be prepared to a slew of new operators with this mechanic!

Total Sanity required is 3800
The event runs for 2 weeks, so natural Sanity regen supplies 3360.  The weekly mission Top pots give an extra 240 per week, for a total of 480, or 720 if you saved from the week before.  Total possible of f2p regen is about 3840
Natural sanity generation will be enough to clear the shop.

  • HE-6: Orirock Cluster
    
    
  • HE-7: Coagulating Gel
    
    
  • HE-8: RMA70-12
    
    

Farming efficiencies: RAM > Gel > Rocks
Thanks again Gamepress for useful info.
So what your aims? Will you go for new and shiny 6 star with ammo mechanic or wait till summer limited banner comes?

The long awaited future replacement of Contingency Contract , the beta iteration of CC 2.0.
I wanted to try it a bit myself before starting this megathread, from what it seems the rumours I heard on reddit and jokes about leaving your PC ~~(and god forbid your phones)~~ for hours is pretty much on point.
With Meta squad 300 points is easy to get, 540 if you are really committed else wait till "Daily" stages unlock in 2 ,5 and 8 days.
Then you can try your hand at medal aka 600 points.

Special mention Challenge for Dorothy "Inescapable Dream" have a text that requires 50 overall in Dispatch/Planning.
Easiest to pick are all Dorothy challenges and Deployment/Max squad limit. Else look at "Test details" if you have enough points for "Sanctuary Judgement"

If there is any guides or explanations how to manage Pinch-Out easily, I would add to body of this Megathread or pin if you made your own thread with a guide.

Good luck with this one, it is bad as people joked about.

Difference between Kbin and Lemmy is how they show their threads. Lemmy does community self boosting that's why it shows in Mastodon Groups, Kbin does not.
Mastodon working on groups but last I heard about it is in August I think... so nothing yet.
You can manually add lemmy and Kbin threads by posting link into Mastodon search, but again not useful and only when you want to respond not lurking.
I would also want more interactivity with threads as I use my Misskey.io account much more for posting but have to do jump hoops for threads I want to share show up. You can't make threads to Kbin from Mastodon/Misskey as they are sorted to microblogs, while addressing @ to lemmy community will work to make a thread.
All in all we are yet to have good communication between threads and microblogs, my solution for that is set up Mastodon bot that checks RSS feed of my community/magazine and post whenever new thread is made. Afterwards just copy link from bot in mastodon search and you can view/reply.

[ENDED] Lone Trail (media.kbin.social)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by Kotking@kbin.social to c/arknights@kbin.social

The continuation of Rhine labs story is finally here! Story length is more than Nearl Light which makes it the longest story from all events.

The limited banner feature:

  • Ho'olheyak - Caster [ST / Core Caster]
  • Melanite - Sniper [Close Range / Heavyshooter]
    and limited operator of this banner
  • Muelsyse - Vanguard [Summoner / Tactician] .

As it is Limited banner you will get coupon for 10 pulls and 1 pull a day until the end of the banner. Old Limited operators that can be pulled as off banner with x5 weight would be

  • Nearl the Radiant Knight [Duelist / Dreadnought]
  • Skadi the Corrupting Heart [Aura / Bard]
  • Specter the Unchained [Substitute / Dollkeeper]
    and with no weight
  • W [AoE / Artilleryman]
  • Rosmontis [Aftershock / Flinger].

Welfare operator will be Silence the Paradigmatic [Buffer / Abjurer] another 6 star! After Lone Trail ends you can get Lumen [Wide-Range / Therapist] with rerun of Stultifera Navis so new players will be in a treat.

So according to Lone Trail - Farming Guide from gamepress
Efficiency (based on all possible stage drops): Alloy > Aketon > Solvent

Rhine lab arc consists of
Mansfield Break event > Dorothy's Vision event > Lone trail event.

I have expected Federation to sometimes bug out or not work, so I will list here messages that were intended to be here but didn't work out by some reason.
For everyone who replied directly thank you! For anyone who didn't manage to reply directly, but spent time to write message also thank you!
Here list of messages that meant to be here:
hydragoon@misskey.io
Th3Cr0Ma@misskey.io
yujacake@misskey.io
I didn't want to use this measure, but I won't ask people to resolve on their end. I appreciate all responses I would get, as we are rather new community compared to others. What we have compared to reddit or any other forum site that we can cross post between different servers and services, which means direct interaction with different kind of people while being in your own beloved website/service/Instance.
