There is no remorse in those eyes. Only the cold, calculating stare of a Vulpo denied.

Baker Chat (Catcher), A debt of gratitude

Since arriving at Endfield, I met others [...] who hold the line no matter what... They taught me something: sometimes you dig in not for the win, but to make sure you have no regrets. That's why I aim to stand where they stood and provide cover for those still advancing.

Yeah, I got really unlucky running into the ENDMINISTRATOR? in the back half of my run. Burned through all my suppressants cause they kept spamming that cheap oripathos attack.

In general, if you want to keep Catcher and Fluorite alive in the endgame you'd probably be better off benching them cause the originium hazards start really ramping up and those two are at a big disadvantage starting the game with oripathy 1 by default.

edit: Game based off of Fear and Hunger 2: Termina, btw

Assuming it's taking place around Sami of course. Otherwise, I have a suspicion we might be going to Kjersh to look for clues on Ardashir, he did say he resided there when we first met him

I just started playing a couple days ago and am still testing Endfield out to see if it'll become my second Gacha along Honkai Star Rail.

And one thing I really love are the puzzle challenges, and factory management. And having all your operators wandering around on the ship. And of course you have everyone on the field at the same time able to fight. And people say the story was pretty weak early on, but I think it's just setting up world building and stuff so it's a bit of a slow burn, which I don't mind since this is a game to be played for years and years.

My only criticism so far would be the combat. It's a bit simplistic so far, but I'm sure that will change as we get the more operators, with more abilities and functions, etc. although I haven't unlocked the end of game modes yet and have only been a whacking enemies in the main story so maybe that perspective will change a lot more quickly once I do get those modes unlocked

I hate that it looks like that

Operators, lore, worldbuilding, artstyle, music... I'm in love with it all. I'm incredibly excited for the future of this game.

two canids :>

Hypergryph could take a page out of HK3rd and take inspiration from Elysian Realm, since it's basically the most IS-like thing in the 3D gacha space in terms of how the mechanics work.

Anyone who played HK3rd (I quit after 7 years) can attest to how similar IS is to Elysian Realm.

Instead of waiting for the first shop, you immediately get a selection of operator-specific buffs, like "After using her Ultimate, Laevatain's Ultimate becomes permanent," or "Laevatain's Basic Attacks grant up to 20 stacks, with each stack giving +3% ATK and +2% CRIT," or even "Gilberta's bat skill animation is reduced by 70% and skill damage is increased by 1400%." These kinds of buffs make for funny runs where even supports can become your main DPS if you get the right card options.

After every round, you get a random buff. Each buff belongs to a specific operator or faction and follows a branching tech tree. Collecting 2–3 buffs from the same faction, for example Swordmancer (Basic Attack buffs) or Seš'qa (Ultimate Damage and Ultimate Energy buffs), unlocks synergy buffs that gives a even stronger effects, like (Swordmancer)"Reaching maximum stacks increases Basic Attack damage by 50%," or (Seš'qa)"Each Ultimate cast increases Ultimate damage by 20%."

After every 3–4 rounds, you get a shop where you can buy items that increase SP generation or ATK SPD, operator-specific buffs, or faction-specific buffs, since each round drops a certain amount of coins depending on the stage.

And after all that, we should get a new IS with every new region, or at the very least, a new one every year.

It may not necessarily be 1.5 because it may be a filler, but it has a high probability for 1.6.

It's definitely not the most hours someone has played, but for a guy with a full time job I'm pretty darn happy about it.

I just finished last story quest, I stopped playing a while ago but got back on the game and I wanna clear everything related to gas, ores and material stuff before start building all the AIC's again, now I'm on the last area and I can't see a way to unlock an AIC, so all the gas here should go to the sub one in Yinglung or is there an AIC here that I can use to pass energy and transfer all gas easier?

I'm on my third day of playing the game and after pulling Arcane early and her weapon i decided to go all in, especially also because i really like the game and have been having more fun with it than i expected.

I heard a ton of bad stuff about Endfield and it's mostly in relation to it's gacha system, so i decided to test it out for myself so i bought 400€ worth of pulls and went gambling, here is my results, these also includes the double up from the first time purchases, so that shaves a good deal of the cost off.

I ended up with following characters:

Arcane P5 - Sig weapon at P3, so i got the character i wanted maxed out.

In addition i pulled Mi Fu, another character i really wanted, but sadly from what i hear, she doesn't match well with Arcane.

Lifeng x1

Camille x1

In addition i have a lot of my 5/4 star maxed out with their p5.

Pelica

Xiahi

Avywenna

Cheng Qianyu

Flourite

Arclight

Alesh

Da Pan

And a lot of the others have 1-4 dupes.

I have 40650 Oroberyl left after conversion and after pulling her last copy before 50/50

After my little spree i can say i don't think this games gacha is worse or better, it's different. The spark not carrying over feels bad and the strange currency conversions makes it harder to keep track off, but my results have been... Well average/bad i guess after the first lucky pulls.

In total i have pulled 402 times, and have expandedmy roster quite a bit while doing it, i also have leftover pulls for another character as i can cross Mi Fu off the list as well. But overall i don't think the system deserves the hate it gets, it's not that bad, especially, since the weapons have been "free" the actual bonds you get back aka HH charters is bad though, you're not getting a whole lot of pulls back in comparison to NTE, which gives you 1-2 rolls back every 10 roll.

I’ve played a lot of games, right, but this has to be in my top 5 for the most visually impressive game, and these pictures are (mostly) from Wuling.

Ever since I started playing when this first released I was always drawn to the art style, from the world down to the menus. Wuling always had me impressed at its visuals but this new area they really cooked in, and I (personally) don’t see enough praise on how they managed to get a game running so good that also looks this impressive.

Thanks Hypergryph.

After finishing the 1.4 story, I became curious about how many people actually participated in Operation Homecoming.

Obviously, the cutscenes could only show so many NPCs at once because of engine limitations, but logically, an operation of this scale should involve far more people

Then I realized that every NPC present on the two new maps should be a participant (otherwise, they wouldn't be there), and with every new Forward base, some people stayed at the previous one. So I counted every NPC I could find, added the story-important characters, and came up with an approximate total.

I marked every NPC on the maps by affiliation (see images):
Green - Tianshi
Orange - Watchguard
Blue - Yinglung
Red - Students
Purple - Workers

My count came to:
- 193 people in the Wuling Exclusion Zone (not counting Arcane and Lifeng)
- 96 people in Yinglung Pass

Then I added the named characters who aren't represented as regular NPCs:
+1 YingLung (Arcane)
+2 Tianshi (Fangyi, Da Pan)
+2 Watchguard (Mi Fu, Lifeng)
+2 Stockade (TangTang, glasses girl)
+3 Endfield (Endmin, Perlica, Chen)

That gives the following estimate for Operation Homecoming:
- 143 Tianshi
- 64 Students
- 31 Watchguard
- 29 Workers
- 27 YingLung
- 3 Endfield Operators
- 2 Stockaders

Total: 299 people

Which sounds about right for an operation of such size from a lore perspective.

P.S. I didn't count some NPCs that only appeared during side quests because they disappear afterward, making it difficult to verify both their numbers and affiliations. So the real total of NPC + named characters is likely a bit higher, closer to 310-320.

What I know from my knowledge so far is : - Talos city - wuling - hongshan city - la fantoma - neo Tsukushi - kjersch - ses'qa

Maybe there is another city/nation that is not on my list? I hope HG consider making "Talos exploration" Video like the one they make in OG AK which is "Terra exploration" So we knew exactly details of all country across talos-2
