I actually enjoy this mode, but I perfectly understand people who hate it, it takes me a week to get accustomed to every aspect of the mode, and not everyone have the time.
The main problem is that it's way too grindy and RNG. Oh, and that the tutorial is as good the Vanguard tutorial at the start of the game, meaning it' not helpful at all. But the moment you learn how to play? Oh boy is it a good mode!
@@Dadan-dan So true
@@Dadan-dan
Don’t think there is as much RNG compare to something like IS, but there is a lack of quality of life features.
As for the tutorial, despite how terrible it is, I don’t really mind it as much as most people due to mainly finding out about a mode by searching video about it, unless the tutorial is already brief and simple.
@@Zack_Zander Yeah, QoL is really lacking, mainly in the base construction part. I wish I could just move around stuff I made instead of wasting who knows how much mats by deleting it after I notice I placed a single wall in the wrong place or could have made a better corridor of death. Or realized that level 1 walls are pretty useless the moment long range units appear.
@@Dadan-dan
Technically you can still use tier 1 walls as long as they’re at a range where enemies won’t get near to to target, but on the other hand due to the free tier 2 walls tactic, there isn’t really much of a reason to even make tier 1 walls.
Heck, I’ve seen a pretty simple build that even use the crops and extra-deployment constructions as pseudo walls due to the fact that the enemies shouldn’t be able to get in range to hit it.
WE MAKIN OUT OF TERRA WITH THIS ONE 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
I quite enjoy the game mode, but quality of life changes like being able to move or repair blocks in the base would be nice.
You can repair the blocks with a gadget, but it does cost 1 iron ore to make it
try Angelina in base battle
I hate this gamemode with a burning passion
@@datnoob4394Understandable. I always say that this game mode is something like a grindy survival game. And while I like it, I'm aware that this genre is not for everyone. As players need to invest A LOT of time on this kind of game.
@@dindapriska
I would prefer it if the blocks can be fully repaired after the raid is completed.
Doesn’t seem worth having to use that repair gadget to fix every damage blocks. Only exceptions are the critically damaged blocks during a raid.
I love the idea on it. it's just not implemented well. Really looking forward to a permanent mode similar to this where we could build an actual base, defend it and get resources to improve it etc. Hope they don't abandon this idea.
yeah they need to be at least newer player friendly, while I had no problems due to playing since day 1 but I've heard horror stories from people that didnt
@@trihexa3024
They need to have a difficulty setting like IS, but I disagree that it should be entirely new player friendly.
When they do revamp it, it should be a permanent mode like IS for prepared players at the minimum while regular or under level players would still be able to grind for the base rewards unless they’re really good at the game. (Looking at those E1, E0, 3*, 4*, etc. players)
This new mode is poorly put together but it does have all the elements in place: Once you realize that you can get a few rewards by skipping through the entire thing with no deployments and get a research node of 10x wood it becomes very playable. Then you can start with a basic gathering hub and expand into water collection. Once you have 30 starting wood, you can have gathering hubs + water collectors immediately, which makes maxing out rice paddies easy. Stamina problem solved, you can then farm for other materials and actually build your base while grabbing starting stone and metals in the research tree. The game mode just has a very poor tutorial, bad UI and it's bizarre you can't move stuff around in the base. But if you just get those starting resources in place via research, it becomes MUCH easier overall. I hope they make it permanent with more user friendliness.
@@Zack_Zander I know that but there are instances of even higher lvled players with a good chunk of units at e2 still struggling with the gamemode, the point is that it's a bit too difficult and/or confusing for people that isn't playing this game religiously like some of us
what I would do is ramp up difficulty depending on your base upgrades, like only rush B on us if we already have walls set up instead of rushing us while we have nothing
@@trihexa3024
Eh, sudden difficulty ramp from the base will become another problem.
I rather have it be something like IS where the difficulty is toggle-able before starting the mode.
Also to add, they should probably let the player add at least one Support Unit as one of the six operators just to lighten the load for underprepared players.
Other than that, it should still be a difficult mode and that it will get easier over time.
Unlike IS, each playthough of Reclamation Algorithm will get easier overtime and that you shouldn’t be expecting to beat it in a single run.
Heck, once you do enough runs, a single run will probably be even easier than IS.
just like Ceobe Fungi Mist (IS#1), its probably test-mode.. this Reclamation Algorithm opens a new dimension in Arknights, will never get bored! strong years ahead
Feels weird saying this but its like reverse Warcraft 3...
Where Warcraft started as a base building RTS... Then got mods for tower defense maps... Now its Tower Defense game that has mode for base building RTS... XD
I’m hoping that unlike IS#1, it isn’t going to be scrapped and that we can get an updated/revised RA#1 instead of skipping to RA#2.
I'll be completely honest, Vifer played this event about as well as I thought he would (and I mean that as a compliment). The event is rather complicated but as long as you're having fun playing the event, I see no wrong way to play the event with their being a lot to do in this new gamemode. I really hope we see this revamped and brought back in the future like IS was because this is quite the new experience compared to anything we've seen in Arknights.
It doesn't help that the instructions are as helpful as fck... XD XD
tutorial was so short it doesnt matter whether you read or not so hes evenly matched with everyone else
yeah 1 month isn't enough for the casual players to even visit all the nodes
@@manoi8
Same goes for IS, SSS, or CC.
Simply farming for the materials can be doable for low level casual players, but basically impossible to fully complete.
@@manoi8
Also to add, most casual player won’t attempt to go further than the main rewards.
And also almost all player, even late game players, will only go for the 4 medals.
I did not have fun with this mode.I could barely even tolerate the tutorial
I read the entire tutorial for this mode, and even looked up youtube guides. I still have no idea wtf im supposed to do in it besides chop wood lmfao.
1. chop wood
2. build base
3. chop stone
4. build better base
@@NikkiTheViolistdont forget to massacre every enemy you see
The catapults can't break Vifer's base if he doesn't have a base to break!
The amount of time to edit this video is almost equivalent to the amount of time to understand this RA event XD
I had fun on editing this video tho ^^
It's okay Vifer, I did actually read the tutorial.
It didn't make it any easier.
It kinda does, but they didn’t explain everything.
@@Zack_Zander It doesn't make the heavy enemy wave any less resistent to damage.
The tutorial was really helpful 😌👌
Kekw
Its feel like play COC with extra suffering
This gamemode was created for endgame players who feel themselves quite bored with what`s going on in game. That`s totally understandably, but not everyone can spend so much time on this gamemode, and that`s why I hate it. The concept is good, but implementation failed. They`re creating those game modes now more often than story chapters which I really enjoy playing. Of course, you lose nothing from not playing it, and still, it doesn`t feel right when there is new event but you can`t force yourself to play it.
Haven't even attempted this yet. Looks like a bit much, but I need the rewards.
Lol, you're going to be there for a WHILE, just letting you know. Grinding extravaganza
If you’re only looking to get the rewards from the milestone, you can actually cheese it by skipping every stages and exiting/resetting when you reach the 5/6 day when the raid reach your base.
Rinse and repeat until you get your materials. Don’t even have to actually play the mode.
On the other hand, if you do plan on taking the event seriously (and that you have the recommended operators), my pro tip is to just do the cheese that I explain above until you have enough point to unlock the full second row of perks for starting material.
That’s when you can start the second cheese by making camo walls basically for free. (And this will also speed up your milestone faster)
It's a slow burn but considering it's the first version of a fresh way to play AK and a pretty fleshed out one at that, it's impressive. I look forward to a more polished version in the future as this gets pretty fun and super satisfying to set up an impregnable maze riddled with traps.
12:13 I dont except so good speech from you Vifer about this gamemode, but I'm glad you like it.
Endfield Alpha Test
This mode should've been permanent or like 3 to 6 months long. Too much stuff to learn, to do, to build, to farm etc etc.
no i wont play it and not even scamfers cute en cant read cant make me xd
*_This is Funny, Thanks Dude!_* 😂
for me this mode is too cumbersome and slow to be enjoyable
Gathering Wood , Hunting Food , Mining Stones, Trading...
Its Age of Empires once again.🥴
I also completely clueless for a week. But after seeing guide how to farm and build the base, it's quite fun. Currently I'm trying to get the third ending.
If the base maps is not RNG maybe i would enjoy this game mode
What is RNG about the base map?
@@Razor4884 I think they're not referring to the base map itself, but rather the overall map where the base is at the center and it's surrounded by different paths you could take
You have to adapt 😂
Sadly it wouldn't last long as a mode if is not randomized, tbh I would even say some of the nodes lack variation that it gets boring alrdy.
This event is basically a more complicated version of IS. Its super tedious at the beginning. But once you know the strats and how to, it became an enjoyable resource management mode. My biggest criticism of this mode is that the tutorial is absolutely useless. It doesnt even explain how base building work.
My biggest criticism is the painful lag.
Despite the terrible tutorial, knowing how big the Arknight community is, it isn’t that hard to find a video to explain how the event works more in-depth.
But after understanding how it works, the main problem will still be the lag.
Honestly, I don’t really care much if they improve the tutorial, I would prefer it if they provide more detail and explanation for the constructions/ingredients and add some quality of life features (such as moving the base structures) for those who do play it more.
@@Zack_Zander I don't see any significant lag in my playthrough. And this is coming from someone with a cheap phone and with 30 fps arknight gameplay.
@@GranMajhave you reached the boss yet? There's no way you didn't experience lag, cuz I played on emulator it is my first time seeing AK lagging that bad on LD player
@@zacharysiow5478 I haven't. I am still pretty much in the building phase since I am pretty new for arknight so I don't have many Fully build unit.
@@GranMaj
The lag mainly appear in raids, pretty sure you will notice it
Nice
potential for sure
hhahahaha, good job vifer.... hilarious
This mode was really fun but for me it was only after like I manage to finish setting up the base
I smelled the smell of the jockey's services soaring 😂
Yeah everyone who play on pc must be enjoy this mode.
Rip phone gamers 😢
i legit lost sanity getting used to this mode but i am addicted now.
Is this game mode still available like IS?
No one
Every online game in 2023: 0:36
i somewhat understand how to play this mode but brain too smooth to continue it, but it's a fun concept.
I don't understand a single damn thing about this event so I've just been ignoring it.
Can't play this yet, still have prelims
I hated the mode until I watch some guides and learned how to hack and build a better base with the free materials
Yeah, game has a really slow start and it doesn't get really fun until you understand it and have a decent base
The +HP Seals and +Deployment limit buildings, I really should've built earlier in the game, for example. Took way to long for me to realize they were actually really helpful
Less “hack” more “cheese”
not hack more like spent hours redoing the exact same thing which is just plain garbage if you need to do that to get to play the game
@@velgard.
Other than building the base, it shouldn’t take that long to complete a run.
If you don’t want to do the trick for whatever reason which is simply just getting 3 water to build 3 tier 2 walls and immediately resetting the run to make the future actual attempts more easier, you can just do it without the base and see how that goes.
@Zack_Zander no matter what strategy you use it's awful till you build your base and that takes way too many hours
I hate this mode. Good idea, poor execution. Base is terrible to build, and it’s so hard to move around the map in an efficient manner.
modern slavery in sandbox mode , lets goooo
Fia : u calling?
It take me 3 year(day) to understand the game and finish medal in year(day) 4
Definitely Not Too Easy
This is my reaction when I first played this shit ass mode haha
I thought it was fun, especially with end-game-strength enemies and how I can use a lot of different operators that I don't usually do (in part because of the random stamina refreshes, in part because of differences in level design, like Folinic is actually really useful in the levels with lightning, and Phantom's clone is surprisingly useful in lots of situations)
Biggest problem is the extreme lag I have on nearly every single stage
Second biggest problem the way to unlock 3rd boss is obtuse if you've already started the path to 2nd boss
I like seeing Passenger and Manticore's backstory (I had always wanted to know more about Manticore's backstory and what made her choose to sneak onto Stormeye's aircraft)
Coming up with strategies that I can use with my operators to take out these OMG-really-hard bosses like the dragon or the lost boss enemy, etc, is pretty fun
Game mode had a really slow start, but after playing for a bit, building an actually good base, and upgrading, it suddenly got better.
Just need to finish off the 3rd boss and then I'll have done everything that I wanted to do. Felt like it came at a good time for me to take a break from Mizuki and his Caerula Arbor.
Also, I think it's called "Reclamation Algorithm" because Passenger told Kal'tsit what he went through and then she programmed an *algorithm* into the simulation room to prepare Rhodes Island operators in case they ever went to Sargon
Yea, I definitely agree on that problem with the lag. Especially when it happens in the raid.
It should also give more extra rewards for those who go out of their way to clear other endings.
I do hope that unlike IS#1, Reclamation Algorithm would actually revamp and rerun the first version as a permanent mode (and probably add more content to it) and isn’t just completely scrapped for a RA#2.
On a separate note, I feel like it was a missed opportunity to not have Manticore Skin as a Live2D reward for this event.
The only mode I really despised so far. I mean, cool concept but god is it awful to play. Even SSS is more fun, and I dislike SSS.
You're kidding? This is 100x better than SSS.
@@randomf2pplayah768 Nah this is a million steps of annoying things that could be QoL fixed, stupid stages that require Mera knowledge for infinitely more success and the fact that it's so damn slow. SSS is annoying and hard, and a bit repetitive but nowhere as bad imo. It's literally 2/10 vs SSS's 4/10
@@Zero_Shift Dude whatever. Once you get most upgrades and know how to manage resources and having the important buildings that give you produce/bonuses, most stages and raids become a breeze and can be cleared fast. Heck it's even faster than IS which can be redundant too on repeat. Nothing will be not worse than SSS.
@@randomf2pplayah768 IS is fun at least, this mode is awful
sometimes i cant tell if hes sandbagging on purpose
Haven't even touched this shit. I'm playing a game not working a job.
If there's a Permanent Mode of this, and Some MEDAL SET There, ill try again and take it (Cuz I Got All The Rewards and All of the Medals (Yep, i Killed the 1st Ending Boss that is Pain in the Ass))
Surprisingly, the first boss wasn’t that hard for me.
On the other hand, I did took advantage of those extra days after Day 12 to chip the enemies and the boss’s HP up until only the boss remains.
And also took advantage of the fortification as a pseudo-Defender to delay the boss at my base.
Boss 2 was definitely more of a pain because of the exploding spiders (and also the boss coincided with another wave of powerful enemies that nearly destroyed my base at the same time)
The one time where Vifer not reading the tutorial doesn't matter
Anyways, I feel like the structures are too OP. I don't think they should carry over between rounds (and in return, we get less enemies). It just makes the start too hard because you're expected to already have constructs, but once you have built your base the gamemode becomes trivial. At worst, you can stall for 30 minutes by removing a blockade to create a second path and blocking off the first path, for a really long time.
We can still hoard gold if you really need to help out struggling players.
should you play reclamation algorithm?
no you really shouldnt play RA. its severely unoptimized in every end-user aspect possible. if you respect your time or have something better to do, you just wont play this.
even if you tried to follow arkchive's afk guide the time spent is not worth the reward, one attempt by skipping all days= 19 or so medals, another by going in stages= 59 more or less, one actual try at "''"playing""' around 130 on average at day 5.
not to say, those attempts take around from 2 mins up to 20 mins more or less and arguably the best rewards exist over the 2k mark. ALSO, you will suffer for at least 1 week trying to get a start with enough resources in case you want to try and play and EVEN longer if you want a competent base to survive day 5 or beyond according to your own account. BTW good luck playing against scaling enemies and elites AND 1 stamina on your operators if theyre not E2 lvl 60, newer accs just get fucked over because of this.
I enjoyed this gamemode after straight up copying a guide and cleared for all the rewards. Lol.
Well, thanks for entertainment
Fire in the Sands is supposedly treated as the Beta testing for Endfield as well. Its just that it needs a lot of improvements and QOL stuff that will make this game mode more enjoyable. The tutorial sucks ass and doesn't explain much information and what you need to do, only in the first 3 hours will you get a very rough understanding on what to do. I myself took over 1 week to get everything. The initial slog for unlocking the tech tree and farming items are the detriment the first time starting this game mode.
I like that they experiment with new ideas, and hope they continue, and I think the mode sucks.
IS is fun enough, SSS is tolerable, this is tedious. Glad people are enjoying it, but you all confuse me most mightily.
This gamemode is peepee-poopoo. Even IS2 is more fun and not even close to IS3
But I agree with 12:10
Well, putting his gameplay aside, he is completely right at the end
a lot of "what" and"why" in this video.
about my recomment the brainless doctor "just Texas Al" now i try to find boss ending2&3 but i concern little bit maybe that not a good idea...
This mode is fun if they could improve the overall QoL and balancing. I could see this mode being permanent since how big of a release it is and i can't imagine scraping all the works that's been done so far.
This mode is funny but my job takes all my time =))))
I have like 30k point in this game mode
I love this gamemode! It's so unique and interesting
This mode is actually really great, but can be tiring sometimes, grinding for resources without autodeploy 3 times a day, and besides that, this mode is too hard on 2 first play throughs and too easy on about 6-7. You can just create the perfect box with perfect straight line with perfect chalter spot, mlynar, spalter, mudrock, shamare etc. Spots. After realising that you can create whatever perfect pathing you want, mode is just boringly easy.
I liked doing base defense waves. Actually exploring was tedious thanks to fog of war. Felt like playing minesweeper. I would've been miserable if I didn't have texalter.
Also collecting resources for base building was genuinely less efficient than just repeatedly starting and failing runs and using up the starter mats. It would've taken 4 times as long if I did it the way they intended me to.
Yes you should play it because free pallas skin and a boatload of mats, but I can say I probably wouldn't have if not for that...
Literally the worst thing ive played in my 2 years of playing
Am I the only one who actually understand the tutorial? The only two parts I was struggling were the food management and base building, but that's because I made some silly mistakes along the way which hindered everything lol.
The start is really slow and tedious though, I do agree with that.
I understand what the tutorial had to explain, but it could still be better.
Either way, I’m not complaining much since knowing how big the Arknights community is, there’s going to be someone who will make a video explaining the event.
My only problems would be the painful lags that occurs and not enough quality of life in this event.
yeah this game mode has potential but farming resources suck, like its pointless, just defeat raids you get enough wood. only resource worth farming is iron which you turn into crude gold in the mint and buy resources at the (black) market. crude gold carries over to the next run, base layout carries forward to the next run.
so you are expected to fail like 20 runs to actually have time to build your base.
3 squad layouts aren't really enough for the variety of squads you should deploy.
+1 rice/day stack 12 and
the +3 HP stack 5 base improvements are really powerful.
like I can just leak all 10 colosus of the colosus raid. and it counts as a win. one unit solo.
I don't farm resources I just get whatever from dispatch and then buy from the market. only resource I farm is water.
food bonuses are cracked. you give skadi -50% redeployment soup, she gets 5 second redeploy time. you give myrtle and texas -8 DP cost you don't have to worry about DP issues. then just aoe the waves. needed skadi to kill the vein guardians. frigging mob is busted, 43 guys with thorns so when you attack them you die. and they have oodles of HP. surtr kills like 10, so you surtr the first 10, die. surtr the second ten, leak then rest. takes 2 acts. LIn can survive attacking them but thats mostly it. oh and nightingale. would be fine if it wasn't a mob of 43 of them all at once, but the mob means I can't Win without AOE and the thorns means your AOE instantly dies.
other raids, not really an issue.
>one unit solo
actually you can do zero unit runs for those 10 colossus raids
Only problem is if the Colossus raids spawn on top of another raid then you have to deal with both raids at the same time, so you can't leak all of them
@@NikkiTheViolist sorry I prefer frostleaf soloing 10 red colosus.
"Did I win?"
you should:yes,the rewarda are good
is it fun:100% no.probably the worst event i have ever played in a game
Love this game mode, actual true tower defense :D
This game mode was Shiiiii
Let's hope that the upcoming permanent Reclamation Algorithm 2 will be much better and more polished
Well i hate this event mode
I never touched it again after the "tutorial". Simply don't have the time or patience for half baked, poorly implemented and tedious content.
Yeah this game mode so fun that drive me insane (pls im want to touch the gass)
This was painful to watch...... But the mode is really fun. It's definitely a test mode, and if they make an RA2 with a lot of quality of life improvements it could be really truly great. Honestly it could be a full sized game in and of itself.
This mode is ass. Too hard in the beginning until you managed to finish you base setup, then it becomes too easy
This mode is worst than IS. First way to grindy I mean it took days just to build your base just to be destroy by enemy raid. Second your material doesnt get refund it so it make much more worst when you grind for days just to get destroy in minute. Third way to RNG dependent eveytime you start a new run you must gather all the material again to setup your base. Finally many limitation on your gameplay example stamina, the whole map is blind atleast give us a look on the whole map if you want to put so many limitation and it doest feel fair to the player. I'm glad when there made IS permanent but please don't make this mode permanent atleast fix the issue first. This event I just AFK on my emulator for entire day to get all the reward. Again this is the worst mode period! in Arknight
The in-game tutorial did not help the player at all😅
People dont like this mode?
Well this mode is fun but well its really getting tedious fo the first few run
And the fact that you cant retain the base after the event end is a turn off for me
Love this mode.. still hate SSS with a passion
EN doesn't read moment
Yep, this mode is kinda hard for people that can't read at all
I hate this mode very much
Nah bro, Skill issues
Mid game mode
This game mode is great but the tutorial sucks
