First character story trailer out

Pretty damn good showing for a first character trailer.

 

[Jibran#one]

So what time is it releasing on Android ?

 

[PonyStation4]

So what time is it releasing on Android ?

5pm PST / 8pm EST

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Gonna try it with DLAA on my 5090 and see how it goes

I feel like that's an understatement.

Anyways, leaving her JP PV here. It's encoded in 4K. Thinking about it, I don't think any of the mainstream gachas do their character trailers in 4K 60fps. Hypergryph really seem to know their shit when it comes to video and music production.

I hated almost everything about Arknights, but their OST and trailer songs were absolutely top tier.

Fire songs! I probably won't ever touch OG Arknights, but I do have a couple of their songs/MVs in one of my gaming OST playlists.

 

[Antwix]

Pretty much my first gacha game. The factory mechanics got me interested. I'm actually really looking forward to playing this lol

 

[HRK69]

Might as well try it too!

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Servers came up right on time

Game is up if anyone hasn't already logged in lol

 

[Here]

I played AK for 3 years+ and had a good time. The gameplay was a lot of fun to experiment with, and it was easy enough not to fall behind gacha-wise.

Also great character design. My fav:

No idea what the story is about tho.

Excited to give this a try.

 

[Felessan]

Typical Arknight - took a hour to go past tutorial
They made roster looks younger by 10-15 years, typical cast in OG was around 20s

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Playing it right now for a bit before logging in for work. Runs buttery smooth at a locked 120 fps at 1440p with DLAA. I forgot to mention this during CBT2, but I really like the game's sound mix.

Btw, there's an issue with PayPal top‑up, so it's currently disabled.

Edit: LaevatainEP is out.

 

[bbeach123]

Characters design feel pretty bland , not vibing with the gameplay and story and character design.... Guess Im out . Even though Arknight was my favorite gacha game .

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Endfield currency converter guide I found on Twitter. Should be useful for anyone who already plays Genshin, HSR, or WuWa.

Edit: Sharing this here for you T4keD0wN , and for myself too, I guess, since I was starting to have doubts, lol. Just unlocked Chen through story progression. I'm exactly at the 1 hour mark in the game.

 

[Spyxos]

Anybody playing this on mobile? How heavy is it?

 

[Sakura]

Played it for about 6 hours or so.
There are way too many tutorials.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Got a 6* on my first 10‑pull on the beginner banner, but it was Lifeng, lol. Eh, gotta stop here for now. I'll play more later after I'm done with work.

 

[Felessan]

Got Last Rite on beginner and Ember on classic

 

[Yeonhui]

I want to be interested in this, downloading. But, I don't know. Am I the only one that finds it off-putting that most of the characters have tails? For instance, one of the main characters looks nice from behind....and then you have her huge lizard tail in your face.

I played a lot of Zenless Zone Zero, kinda got used to it. But yeah its weird at first.

Its classic for AN
Out of 60 6* I have in OG around 5 looks like humans - we will probably again see all types of animals, dragons and even angels

This is the standard for the Arknights universe. All the races are based on animals, mythical creatures, and even angels and demons. So they have appearances derived from those origins

There's actually an entire section of the lore which explains the history of Terra, the world from OG AK, and how the current races which populate the world came to be. Of course the reason is because Hypergryph wanted to distinguish the characters of their games from all the others lol

 

[Aion002]

Great graphics, really well optimized on pc for me and cool art style.


But I didn't like the combat. It feels too simplistic and repetitive.

 

[vkbest]

I wonder how is the performance in the final version. In the beta they released the game was under 60fps on PS5 Pro always, usually in the VRR area, but looked like in endgame content with multiple effects could drop under 48fps

Thanks for the explanation. Been taking a closer look, and it's not as much of an issue for me as I initially thought. It reminds me of Xenoblade Chronicles X, which I loved.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I see the JP bros already whaling and maxing out dupes on Laevatain, lol. Machine translation:

I tried to get both of them fully maxed out. The endfield gacha can be quite tough if you have a specific character you're aiming for. However, you can get tickets for weapons by pulling character gachas, so it's nice that you don't have to pay for them.

Yup, instant turn off for me as well. Even if my favorite character from ZZZ was that damn sexy rat (Jane Doe).

Impressed by the PC performance on my 5070Ti, silky smooth at 120FPS with DLAA. Game looks clean. Game also use the Dualsense Adaptive Triggers on PC. One more gacha game/mobile game, that puts alot of AAA anime games to shame when it comes to visuals and performance.

Combat gameplay is a bit more simplistic than i was expecting, but still visual appealing.

 

[Peroroncino]

How about that PayPal situation huh

 

[Revolutionary]

Yeah this is another Zenless for me: great looking game, somewhat interesting story, but the combat is too basic and Genshin-y for my taste. Also not too keen on pulling for characters and weapons because power creep is inevitable. In our post- Where Winds Meet world, cosmetic-only gacha is much more preferable to me.

How about that PayPal situation huh

Yeah, definitely not giving this game a dime lol

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

How about that PayPal situation huh

Yeah, I just saw on reddit why they stopped taking payments through PayPal… holy shit, I don't think I've seen a bigger day 1 fuckup in a gacha game release so far.

Also, the OP of this reddit post...

Please give me my money back, i dont want to eat dirt for the next 3 months

Edit:

Worst one I've seen so far. Minus 15k euros… omfg.

 

[Gekikara]

Pramanix was the one who got me into Arknight
And I am waiting for Suzuran equivalent - she has not one tail but nine (got myself 9tail outfit in WWM too)

Arknight Chen looks like she is 25-28 (around her age lore-wise in story). In Endfield she looks like 15

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Pretty insane level of foreshadowing with this meme considering today's fuckup with payments through paypal.

This is why i use vitual credit cards with limited currency on them for every thing i buy online. So if a game costs 30€ i create a CC with 31€ on it, leaving only 1€ on that card after the purchase, that also expire in 1 month. This is great to prevent CC theft, recurring subscriptions u forgot about, or fuckups like this one.

Yeah, that's basically what I'm doing too when it comes to online purchases. I use PayPal, but never for gachas, only for Steam or other trusted stores. Even then, I have a virtual card linked to it, and I only load it with just enough cash for whatever I'm buying.

For gachas, I use a separate virtual card that holds JPY and has zero fees for exchanging euros to JPY. I've attached it to Google Pay, and I use it through GFN for some top-ups in the gachas in my rotation: WuWa, HSR, Genshin, and ZZZ.

 

[HRK69]

I've put a couple of hours into it on PC, and honestly the production quality is really solid for a free game.

It's still pretty basic, don't get me wrong, but I'm enjoying it way more than I expected. Just reached the building section, probably going to sink a good chunk of time into it today.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Okay, I'll give them that, this was a fast turnaround in making sure everyone affected gets their money back ASAP.

Dear Endministrators,

Earlier today, we identified an issue with our payment system that affected a small number of purchases made via PayPal by players using the official launcher, as well as PayPal top-ups made through http://topup.gryphline.com. In these cases, there was an inconsistency between the order and item delivery. The issue only impacted a limited set of orders.

9:58 AM (UTC+8) – We received our first player report related to PayPal payments.
11:05 AM (UTC+8) – After confirming the issue, we immediately disabled PayPal as a payment option to prevent further impact.
6:20 PM (UTC+8) – We completed a full review of all PayPal transactions and identified the affected transactions.
6:30 PM (UTC+8) – We began issuing full refunds for all PayPal orders created between 9:36:51AM（UTC+8） and 11:05:36AM (UTC+8), including purchases using the official launcher and top-ups made via http://topup.gryphline.com. All refunds are expected to be completed within four hours.

If you do not receive your refund as expected, please contact us at endfield_cs@gryphline.com with your account server (Asia / NA & EU) and UID, and our support team will assist you.

Providing a stable and reliable service is a top priority for us. Data security is foundational to our services and a core priority for GRYPHLINE. The PayPal payment option will remain disabled and will only be re-enabled after the issue has been fully resolved and thoroughly tested.

We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.

 

[Peroroncino]

Ok ok, but where apologems

 

[nvrndr]

Woot, got Last Rite extremely early. Hmm now that I'm adding this into my rotation of Hoyo/HSR/zzz/wuwa I think I'll need to drop something....I've already been getting tired of wuwa and zzz is so low maintenance I wouldn't miss it. Decisions decisions. Both don't perform that great on PS5 where Endfield plays super smooth.

Congrats on pulling my favorite standard character, my man! Just one more hour and then I can no‑life Endfield until 2 AM, lol. Good thing I've got a short workday tomorrow, and it's Friday, so even better, haha.

It's better than a huge…

Ah, nevermind

 

[Spyxos]

Holy shit, i finally got 2 legendarys. I must say, i kinda like this game. I thought that when it came to building, I'd be out, but so far it's still fun. I just hope it doesn't get too out of hand. Fighting also seems very easy at first. Music is also good and the world seems interesting.

Edit: Cant upload pics, takes forewer and then it fails.

Congrats, bro! Hope you get some great luck on your 6* operator pulls too!

I mentioned this back during CBT2, but I really like that the advanced track in the BP can be bought with Origeometry. Even though it's a premium currency, you can still earn it through main story progression and a few other sources. Once you've saved up enough, you can unlock the second track for 29 Origeometry, and if you finish the entire BP, you get 32 refunded, which basically lets you grab the next advanced track in the BP for free, as long as you save your Origeometry instead of converting it and then spending it on pulls.

I didn't get her during the beta, I got Pogran so I'm looking forward to playing with her now. From what I've seen doing some research it seems her current BiS supports are 4 and 5 stars that are extremely common in the pool so building a functioning cryo team shouldn't be a problem!

Btw, I just noticed in the in‑game news tab that there's a daily check‑in web event, similar to the ones in hoyo games, where you get a small reward each day just for logging in.

Wait 6 stars? I thought 5 was the maximum. I only saw gold and was happy.

Yeah. In Endfield, there are 4* operators, 5* operators (A‑Rank Agents), and 6* operators (S‑Rank Agents). You can see it here in my 10‑pull where I got one 6*, one 5*, and the rest were 4*.
