Discussion Did you ever expect Endfield to have more RTS/TD elements than it does, and would you like to see more of it in the future or not?

2 Upvotes

Just curious. Body text is just for a bit more context.

When I first learned that Endfield will have a mix of action, factory sim, base expansion, and towers, I was beyond stoked! I already liked og AK’s Tower Defense, but combining it with base building/expansion, in a full 3D environment, and you get to play as a squad on the field?? In the Arknights universe??? Say no more. At least that was my reaction in the very early trailers lol.

Alas, RTS elements are near non-existent. I had placed hopes on the Tower Defense aspects, but it’s been really bare-bones.
So when YouTubers started calling Endfield a Real Time Strategy RPG when it released, I was confused, a bit frustrated, but it also kept the hopium alive for future RTS/TD aspects (even if it may have been a marketing script error in hindsight). Something that mixes these wildly different game genres into something new and innovative, in a gacha space nonetheless.

They have teased a future mode called Shattered Protocol, but there’s practically no info on it yet, other than maybe being a rogue-like. Imma huff hopium anyways that maybe it’ll have more RTS/TD elements lol.

Anyway, lately, there has been a mild resurgence in popularity for RTS games, a genre many thought was dying. With games like Warhammer: DoW4 releasing soon, ZeroSpace showing promise, and the legendary Warcraft 3 getting a whole campaign update in 23 years(!), it got me thinking, hey, maybe RTS isn’t lost in the modern gaming audience after all?

So, I wonder how big or small the overlap between Endfield and RTS games is in the playerbase/community, and if there is or isn’t a market for it here currently?

Feel free to share your reasons, or even ideas how it could look like for Endfield, in the comments!

Endfield no ult energy rotations are so long and im confused on how people remember them at all ,but how do you even know what rotation is best? Because sometimes your exact team isn’t on prydwen rotations list and do you strictly need to know the rotations or is it just optional?

Discussion I’ve noticed that a lot of people are getting impatient waiting for Endmin to take off his mask. What are your predictions?

0 Upvotes

Let's look back at how things worked in OG Arknights with Amiya. We unlocked her potentials at stages 2-10, 3-8, 4-9, 6-17, and 7-18, but her class change, along with a new appearance, didn't happen until Chapter 8. Global release: 30 April 2021 - 1 year, 3 months, and 14 days (470 days) after 16 January 2020.

Endfield could follow a similar pattern. We already know that a new region is coming for the anniversary, and there's a very high chance we'll get Endmin's final potential around that time as well. However, that doesn't necessarily mean we'll finally see what's under the mask. The reveal could be saved for a later major story chapter, potentially alongside a class change or some other significant development that gives Endmin a new appearance, perhaps even an entirely new outfit. Although, it would be a little funny considering they've apparently been wearing essentially the same clothes for around 150 years.

Personally, I wouldn't get my hopes up about Endmin taking off the mask anytime soon. It could take another six months or even longer. What do you guys realistically think? Will we finally see Endmin's face during the anniversary, or is Hypergryph saving the reveal for a major story milestone later down the line?

26 Upvotes

Just finished completing the latest story conclusion with Si. A lot of unanswered questions and got baited that i could unlock Endmin without their mask on. It didn't happen. Maybe once Endmin get their last potential.

Farming was simple, yet fun. Diner dash mini-game was fun too. Though wish there was better controls and features to make it more intertuitive.

One more patch for Ver 1.7 for the Shroom and Rebuilding zone and we can move onto the new region with Rhodes Island in 2027

Am I the only one struggling understanding them? I can somehow guess what they want but I need to think about it and decode what the fuck they are trying to say. English is not my first language but this is ridiculous, I've never seen ANYONE talk like that. they always say something weird like "Precious is the fin but not the side" and I have to deduce they want something "finny" that is not a side dish, but it's so annoying. every now and then is fine but the new event that ONLY has gourmet is fucking hard.

Blueprints I made mini farm factory Spoiler

5 Upvotes

(Asia Server)

Hello~ It’s me again with my factory set up, this time it’s a mini factory solely for advanced farm material, like Ranch feed, Drinks and Spice.

While this might not be necessary or needed, since you can just buy the material from Job Rusher, and we probably won’t be doing this once the event is over, I just want to fill my base and share it, maybe some people who like to max their resources would like it, so I made this blueprint.

It’s very simple to make, doesn’t require too many power, I am still using 2 battery supply since Wuling region.

Video is here if anyone interested- https://youtu.be/G93nSKWhVi8

Or you can just copy the blueprint here -

Discussion Massive stuttering/freezing during open world combat.

1 Upvotes

So I returned to endfield after not touching it since launch. While replaying the tutorial I quickly noticed how laggy the game felt during open world combat. I never had any issues with any game before and my pc has handled much heavier games perfectly fine, and even Endfield was smooth on launch. After playing for longer I started to notice it was only during combat in the open world, stuff like the farming instance that cost sanity were totally smooth. I also dont have any other issues in terms of performance. I already tried a bunch of things related to shaders but nothing helped.

I am playing using the launcher, not steam

Is anyone else experiencing this or is just me?

All variants of Title Guy's ground waves feel undodgeable... is it meant to be hard avoided or is there a real way to dodge them and I'm just skill gapped? fwiw I cleared normal by blitzing, but of course Agony doesn't give me that luxury. Is it something to do with bad visuals (the vfx is lying about the attack hitbox)?

edit: how do i make sure my team doesnt die while i stay at full hp, then, because they don't seem to dodge the boss patterns at all? just bring 3 sustains?

Discussion update loop

0 Upvotes

so i have a problem that every time the game gets a update i download it and for some reason instead of the download being done it deletes all of the game files and starts to download the whole game again and i was able to get past this problem by having a copy of the game file and putting and after deleting i just needed to put it where it should be and i would be ready to play.

but now that's not working and instead every time it starts to download the update first, install it and starts to download the whole game without even deleting the game file. it's like it is not finding the files and starts downloading the game over the existing one without deleting it or anything so i decided to wait for it to download but since my net speed is not good i have to wait more than 1day and after only having 15G more left to go I shot down the pc to let it rest a bit and later i see that it's started everything over again. so is this really a launcher bug or is it only me and since the game is now also on steam i wanted to know if i play the game from steam can i connect my old account or no?

I have seen some designs from Japanese X/Twitter posts, and I pick one like this. The only problem is it didn't state the value for flow control for combine Xirangen and Xirangen on one single gas dispersing. Right now I set 6/min Xirangen and 12/min* Xirangen and to see how it works.

*= I saw one post stated 10/min Xirangen and I assume its mistype.

Not sure if this was found already, but If you manage to zipline to that one mountain peak off the overlook area near the farmland of Yuanyuan Manor, you can fall into the void and place stuff down there.

Not much to do but you can zipline between the overlook and the ground below if you also manage to get power down there
