So... About my schedule and future videos. I would like to do videos every week. It is pressuring me less, and I have more time to come up with ideas and therefore better quality content. A lot of the time, I refuse to rework some parts of the video because I feel the need to publish it earlier. So I will avoid it next time. I have significant improvements with my voice over! I am looking for the bright future. Feel free to join my discord:

I REALLY do NOT care about the 6 months gap. It's honestly such a helpful thing in letting us prepare our pulls. It's seriously not a bad thing for EN and it's not like 1 year+ gap
The fact that my enjoyment of the game nowadays revolves on the story being translated is also what kept me from being burned out, no matter the spoilers, no matter the 6 months gap, the story usually dont get spoiled as translation for it is limited, so by the time it comes out, I still have the hype from when it was revealed.
Also, a lot of EN doesn't care about the story, so nobody caring is what saves me from a lot of spoilers (I was spoiled on the whole Kal'tsit thing though because of the famous bug being in the FREAKING THUMBNAIL of some videos).
Today the story and especially lately, the character stories are what keeps me sane.
Sounds like a watching strategy (for you)
I personally skip all story, as it is time consuming to read and my experience with anime and in game stories in general is negative. I dont trust the writers, I think the stories are cringe. At the same time, I havent read much, so I cant say for sure.
@@The158Outlaws
TL;DR I like the AK stories, but story skipping is entirely understandable, and if you want to go into it, maybe read it on a separate online reader instead.
"I think the stories are cringe" and "I haven't read much" don't really check out, as you've rightly pointed out.
What I can say about the stories is that yes, a lot of it is bloated to high hell, and even the EN enjoyes hopped up on the highest levels of copium can't disagree unless they're literally smelling HG's farts. It's gotten better, but word counts are only going up, which means stories are getting longer, even as bloat is going down. (that said any kal'tsit speech is still guaranteed to be an 8000 word essay tiptoeing around an issue that can be shortened to 500 words.)
All that said, I think AK stories are good. Stories are generally interesting and contribute to fleshing out Terra as a fully realised civilisation and world, characters have strong personalities and dynamics (for the most part...), and they explore real world problems and concepts in a way that is usually nuanced, excepting maybe the earlier stories.
All that said, story skipping is an entirely valid way of experiencing AK, esp if you came for the Tower Defence, not the anthology of novels that come along with it. But if you ever do want to give the story a shot, I'd recommend looking for an online reader and treating it as a book instead of a game. I find a part of the problem with AK storytelling is that VNs generally don't resonate with everyone, and that as far as VNs go, AK is pretty barebones without some of the most basic features that make other VNs more tolerable by people who don't enjoy VNs.
Yeah if it wasn't for the story I would've already dropped the game as the challenge aspects of the gameplay alone aren't enough motivation to keep playing as well as the fact that most of my favorite operators who aren't meta require good lore for me to even be remotely interested to pull for them
@@The158Outlawstbf many stories are cringe in general some are just bearable or enjoyable enough. Arknights first few chapters is mid af not particularly cringe as much as time consuming. Though it has gotten better post chapter 6
As a f2p, I don't mind a gap of 6 months at all, I can plan my savings better and change my mind whether I will actually pull for someone or not. I may be one of the few, but I also don't mind if some events get delayed on global, especially after me going broke after limited or standard banner with awful rates. And having a Dory fish memory, I'll be excited again when these 6 months pass
As for me, planning is not needed most of the time, I pull for designs I like, and they are rare, so most banners are an easy skip for me. And obviously with that mentality, the amount of excitement the event brings me is way more valuable than the planned pulling.
Yep, it heavily depends on the person really
@@The158Outlaws Design and lore mainly.
@@The158Outlawsyou play in the wrong server bro. I played game with 2 years gap before (FGO).
And I know the original server is the one that always bring hype and excitement, while the other servers are just for reading story and saving to get the characters you want 👍
@@HuruHara575 Its kind of stupid that when I download the game, I am not told about this. Starting fresh on CN now feels stupid, why would want to start over?
Honestly couldn't care less about community hype over coming banners, I'm hyped enough knowing it's coming. I was over the roof getting my Texalter and spending lots of pulls on Penance knowing I was ready for it, same goes for Yato MH collab, then for Typhoon.
Now knowing that coming characters are Arturia\Viviana, Degenbreaker and right after R6 collab as a (mostly)f2p I have time to prepare instead of regret over losing a chance to obtain R6 ops again xd
My only problem with this argument is the unspoken hypocrisy behind it. What I mean is this: let's say, hypothetically, there was a magic lamp with a genie in it and someone made a wish that brought global current to CN. The next day RUclips would be flooded with videos about how en players don't have time to save their pulls, can't make informed decisions about which operator to pull, etc... etc...
People who complain are just going to complain, there is never going to be a perfect paradigm that ever satisfies them. The people who don't complain are that way not because they're in their perfect paradigm but because they adapt to the paradigm they're in.
Apart from that though it's a fair concern, there are pros and cons to every situation. I just don't actually buy that you would ever be content if the opposite situation were true.
True. Hypothetically, you can avoid spoilers (I dont watch content on this account, and on my content consumer account, I watch counter strike)
If you are really stubborn about it, you can avoid spoilers, so thats a relief for people who dont want to get spoiled for updates. At the same time, it is so so easy to be spoiled about something. And I guess thats the main concern people that avoid spoilers complain for. You really have to go on sactafices to not get spoiled about updates, which not everyone is ready to go for.
@MostimaHusband
All of this is your subjective and biased opinion. Every time you used the word beneficial or better it just means better for you, or beneficial for you. Projecting that onto everyone else is pure bias.
Saying EN is a dead server is objectively false, however, with tons of data supporting the opposite. If Arknights EN is a dead server than there are entire games which should be immediately cancelled because it is out grossing them.
@@ian59Nobody cares about whatever EN server. EN is irrelevant.
People like them are why they invented the mute function.
The biggest issue by far is the story getting spoiled, like it happened with LT and now Babel. It completely forced me off watching any of this CN info dumps. The story is ramping up to such a degree hitting an absolute peak in LT and now a new one with Babel and there are people posting the whole synopsis of it before I get to read it. Having to wait 6 months is super frustrating.
I am sorry but this gap is a blessing, to me, nothing beats knowing when to save. Nowadays i pull for who i want and not sniping for meta, like Jessica Alter. Said gap helps a ton with getting who i want.
Honestly, if things on EN were sped up to the point that the servers became 1 month apart while eliminating dead weeks that would otherwise have no events (no reruns or no new events), i think we would have a good compromise. Of course, some of the mat drops and rewards would have to be bumped up a little during the catch up time to compensate the increasing speed of event drops. This is actually what another gacha game, Another Eden, did with their servers (increasing mat drops and rewards for servers in need of catching up) until all servers reached the same schedule only a few weeks ago.
I wish Global caught up to CN.. or has a gap of at most 3 months..
The 6-7 months gap is like waiting for a home video release of a movie after it has been watched at "theaters".
Just an opinion from a Dolphin.
Agreed, a few months is fine for saving purposes but half a year is tedious
Global vs CN not just arknights always is worse off. CN have collaboration with real life things like restaurants, events and even art displays, advertising etc. Yet in EN, which encompasses a vary large times zone, they can't even have a stream where like 90% of people are working at the time of the stream.
Just as an example, Gift codes, there are at least Dozen codes on CN but 1-2 for EN.
People will engage more with things if given the opportunity but its too hard and expensive coordinate for en/Global players wide base.
Even somethings as simple as copy right issues like for example CC3 music debacle.
Still love arknighs, hope you do too.
EN really needs something unique for the server, not just a song but a literal skin or even crossover. We do get most of what shows up on CN at least, including like Purestream, the other environmentalist skins, but there are definitely things missing that we should have gotten too... I was looking forward to the Amiya guard skin but nope
Gift codes would be a brilliant idea for sure
Tbh my hype for the characters can die with the 6 months gap, and sometimes it's not bad, it allow me to avoid pulling characters that i'll raise and never use.
But my hype for the story and the lore never dies, i waited 6 long months for Lone Trail and i was still hyped and surprised by the story beyond my expectations
As an endgame player, pretty much 90% of your operators become "raise and never use"
@@The158Outlaws at first it was the case, but now with integrated strategies and the returning cc in a few months, i think we have more occasions to use them, but yeah i usually avoid showcases a lot because it can kill your hype really fast
At first I thought it was about Gryphline possibly taking over the EN server. When it comes to this topic, I know there's no hype after 6 months, but I'll still get any character I want. When muelsyse appeared on global, I knew I would spend everything to get it. So I think it also depends on the person.
That is true to an extent, but it cannot be underestimated that EN server doesnt really get hyped for its own updates. Usually, only the new players get hyped, because they are exploring the game still, but the old players are not hyped at all. So having that bit of mystery, really does improve the experience in my opinion.
Besides arknights I play a Chinese dress-up game's global server and what the devs do there is not only maintain a similar gap between cn and global server content release-wise, they also have "world premiere events" where both servers receive an event/content at the same time. So on one hand global server player can get spoilers on upcoming content from cn server should they opt for that and on other hand there is brand new content for global server that hasn't been released on cn server before which makes global server feel a bit special time to time. Looks like a solution to me 🤷🏼♀️
I think taking to consideration people who cannot restrain themselves from watching a 4 min video, which is obviously a spoiler, is not worth. Have been playing AK for 3 years or so, never did i think that me watching a spoiler PV, trailer etc. is someones fault, i chose to watch, my fault, and same goes for everybody else.
Dude I can understand this statement, is not about the PV is about the excitement that we are the part of small community. Having to see people rejoice that they wanted this operator being playable and so on. (To this day I'm still waiting frostnova playable eventhough it's impossible)
But I also agree your other comments that this gap help global to save some more. Remember we did beat HSR income because of purple Barney 😂😂😂😂. This shown people will pull, it's just not the right time like fishing
Well I half agree to this but it really depends on person if I'm being honest. I for one looking forward to those said Six Months that are coming and 1 thing I'm thankful for the CN server is that I get to prepare since back then in my early days of AK I did not know that there's a limited banner and its harder to get them. Now that I know I can save up to pull for them. The Biggest reason why I don't get burnouts and stuff is I am a Lore guy, always reads the stories and connections. And Im actually happy that they don't translate the story since I can read it without getting spoiled nor the dialogue that actually connects from previous chapters or sidestories. In the end of the day it really depends on the person on how they take it.
Yeah it does depend on the person, I know.
And this is why i deliberately avoid literally any info from CN server and pretend it does not exist.
why are ppl acting like the ability to see 6 months into the future is a debuff :(
some think its good some are neutral and some think its terrible
Yeah, its the only time my horrible memory has ever been helpful. I get hyped for one or two specific characters or an event, then i completely forget about it. This means that im still ware the character or event exists, but i know next to nothing about it, thus saving me the hype to keep going. (Also, im a workaholic, but because actual work is unrewarding, i tend to multitask grind video games and arknights is perfect for mindless grinding. I can actively grind in 4 games at once via an ipad, a phone, a laptop, and a nintendo switch :D)
Yeah I’d love to catch up with CN, but if it doesn’t happen, not a huge deal.
this is me right now trying to avoid any spoilers of ch 14 or any PVs and trailer about that
good luck!
Yep, I 100% agree. Server gap brings more harm than good. Thanks for the video, Dokutah ❤
Thanks for watching!
Well, this doesn’t affect me at all since I run a CN and a EN accounts. Since I started my EN account much earlier I use that to clear hard content, and play on CN to catch the hype.
I personally dont want to start over, and its hard to manage 2 accounts at the same time
@@The158Outlaws it’s actually not that bad, especially if you play on emulator since CN has the auto replay feature
Well for some end-game players what kind of character you pull might not matter that much since you already have an operator for every situation so it save to say that just pull characters for design since its not gonna effect their playing experience so much
But for a beginner and an f2p 1 wrong pull could effect your progress to go forward, but if youre such a brilliant doctor then pulling for characters might not do anything to you
And CN spoilers doesnt explain much about the lore or the stage it self therefore I always found myself watching stage/character analysis once it arrives in Global or the same stage clears with different approach always feels excited
Just watching brilliant doctors out there is already entertaining enough for me
New players dont see an issue, it is when you get to the endgame, you start to feel the problem. Yes, you pull for characters you like, but how are you going to pull for them if you kind of burnt out while waiting for them?
@@The158Outlaws Just play the game less?
@@Nazuiko damn indeed!
I feel very existential sometimes when I think there’s a 6 month gap between en and cn.
That’s really what really matters for me is that I will lose 6 months of my entire life to see this event in en.
Kinda terrifies me that time by to quickly (or slowly)
I am kinda glad to not be playing on tw servers because that would be dreadful for me
The general consensus in the comments and players in general is that the 6 month gap is a natural part of being a Global player and the normalization of saving pulls and understanding the unit with CN player showcases or GamePress's info on them. Heck, unique NPCs and leaked banners for games like Genshin/HSR helps people strategize when to pull for who. The 6 month gap even extends to modules with the foresight of investing in characters who got tweaked for more usage, from Passenger and Lin, to upcoming Fiametta module that greatly reduces her biggest drawback. And even without mods and for new characters, your take on losing interest in operators (Ho'olheyak and Mumu), due to their kit, people stayed hype for Texas Alter because of how strong she is and you'd have to be crazy not to pull. And with the continues release of banners, that's just gacha games in general and CN players don't really have time to save if they don't have reserves, so would of course have to be engaged, it's a business model.
I honestly dont care that there is a 6 month gap, but the HYPE is insane.
I would really like the EN server to catch up with the CN server, but that never happend... like we had several signs that the EN server would catch up (banners and events came out earlier than planned or the sequence changed).
It is not happening because arknights does not know how does this situation affect people. Some people like the gap, some dont, so Arknights has no idea whether they should reduce it or not. But the main reason nothing is changing is because - they will have to rush with many banner at the same time to catch up, so they cant just pull it all out
I try not to touch spoilers, but by just using Reddit and browsing arknights RUclips it is unavoidable that some things get spoiled, and I will never understand all the people that WANT the 6 month gap to exist, because 'planing' and 'foresight'. The gacha in Arknights feels like a chore to me. I always know 6 months in advance what I'm going to pull for (not meta just interest in the characters that get spoiled, and character spoilers are basically unavoidable), how much I'm willing to invest etc, so once the time comes it is just plain pulling the 6 months ago planned out number.
At that point it is just a chore to sit through x number of pulls, while the excitement for anything new died months ago.
The only thing that rarely gets spoiled is the story, but given that not all events are interesting to me or written well, that ends up being more of a band aid.
Yeah, I myself know all the upcoming operators names probably, because I literally see them in the comments, and I see people talk about them. I actually watch counter strike content on youtube not to get spoilers. And I do that on an other channel, because my main youtube channel is cursed to be filled with gacha games recommendations. Also, I skip all the story, I am a part of "EN cant read". I only know strategic point of the game such as operators stats and skills/talents and have a little bit of game sense. I dont read bosses descriptions and stuff, I love going into the stage and being completely shitted on by some boss or else. It doesnt happen often, but it sure does sometimes.
@@The158Outlaws I mean even if you go completely blind and manage to dodge every single spoiler the hype still wouldn't be there, because 99% of the community knew months ago and their excitement died down, so even if you personally are going in blind, the collective community excitement is still dead.
As a person who likes to plan pulls ahead- here's my side of things
1st, as an F2P, my pulls are precious, and knowing who's coming & when is invaluable when it comes to managing pulls (e.g I'm interested in Shu, fell in love with Jessica alter, and know I don't care much for Degen/Virtuosa, so I was comfortable trying to pull Jess)
I'd much rather be less excited from not knowing ahead than be blindsided by something I'd want _more_ right after spending what I had.
2nd, there is always the chance what you want would come early, and it’s fun when _that_ happens
3rd, personally when I'm saving up for a character, the act of saving itself becomes "working towards a goal" which is fun in it's own way
And last on the community hype thing, I'm sorry but if your excitement is dependent on the rest of the community as a whole, that kind of a you problem
To me the foresight isn’t some insane advantage. As F2P you can’t summon on everything anyways and limited banners are always good to target. Being able to experience the hype at the same time would be so much better.
true
It does really sound like you need to get on the CN server and maybe even drop Global. I know you probably spent a lot of time building up your global account, but in the long run it's still more worth it to play CN for you and start from the beginning. You literally have all the traits for someone to prefer CN over global: you don't read story so you don't care about the official story translation, you don't read enemy mechanics so you don't even care if it's in Chinese, you get hyped and excited along with the community about all the new and amazing content/operators/events, and will probably get you more videos and help your channel grow bigger. If I was in your shoes I wouldn't hesitate to start CN right now.
As for me, I played FGO for 4 years which has a 2 YEAR gap so I'm more than happy with a 6 month gap. Aside from new operators, I know nothing about what's going on in CN. Heck I didn't even know DOS existed until it came to global a few days ago. I didn't know it's gonna be one of the hardest events ever, and I got completely surprised by it which was very enjoyable for me as I like the challenge. I also have no idea what going on in the story in CN so I'm always hyped for new story in global. In general I don't really get spoiled about anything so global always feel fresh to me, I'm having a blast.
You are right, but at the same time, its quite hard to justify the switch. I cant hold 2 accounts at the same time, I would have to drop arknights EN then. I dont feel like doing that, maybe I will reconsider later, but as of right now, I will stay on EN.
@@The158Outlaws You are free to make your own choice. But if you decide to stay on EN, you no longer have the right to complain about the 6 month gap since you yourself chose to stay here.
In the end, people typically choose to spoil themselves. When people were gushing about Near Light on CN for example, I basically thought things would be good when it came to EN, so I ignored the details. Sure enough I was very pleased while others were already acting like it wasn't a big deal because they overdosed on spoilers about the event and everything already. In the time since, various other events, like Chongyue's, were less amazing to me because of the effect of people all talking about CN spoilers, sure, but people who choose to go into the details of spoilers should not be surprised that they feel bored or uninterested: it's literally on them.
One thing I do find extremely annoying is people often won't shut up about all the stuff happening on CN server, you see it on Reddit, in various youtube comments, even twitter etc. Social media is built on engagement so being hyped over the newest thing was inevitable, but if only we could find some way to avoid spoilers: if the algorithm knows you watch Arknights stuff, it'll thrust spoilers in your face when you didn't want them. I can't stand that personally lol
But whatever, people who choose to get hyped over spoilers should be prepared for disappointment or losing that passion and enthusiasm when the event actually arrives in EN. And as other comments pointed out, people who complain will complain regardless. If the 6 month gap were over people would complain about having no opportunity to prepare. I actually like having dead weeks as I can put the game down and at least try to do other things with my free time. I know a lot of people hate that, since they think it's boring to have nothing to do, but it's also why I appreciate gachas like Neural Cloud who give ample breathing room lol
In the end, yes AK EN murdered its own hype years ago by embracing the habit of overdosing on spoilers. Tragically this even holds true for things like music, let alone new upcoming units. Consequently, if people complain about being bored or not caring about what happens in EN because they spent all their energy and passion staring at what's on CN, they should just get a CN account and, should they continue to feel "cheated" or bored, they brought that negativity upon themselves. Play how you like, and personally I'd recommend looking at spoilers as sparingly as possible lol
I'm the kind to watch just enough spoilers to know who's comming in six months so that I can save and to hype myself. Then I never touch it again until it comes to EN where I then hype myself back up again so I'm good with how the time gap between EN and CN are right now
Not really, I learned from a recommended youtube video with a spoiler in the thumbnail of a specific bossfight with a specific character (not gonna spoil who they are for the people who do want to be genuinely surprised)
I am a person that never played arknights but I am a huge fan of the lore and story. And I couldn't agree more, 6.months delay is completely unacceptable by any game standart and especially in 2024 when gatcha game market is this oversaturated. Also, since arknights doesn't even have huge amount of voice lines in the story, why it takes 6 months to do a translation? It doesn't even make sense when you can put everything in google translate and send to proofread to someone and be done in one day.
The fact itself that now when we got babel which is possibly peak story content for this game and I am forced to watch some dude trying to translate everything on half-broken english just to understand the story is kinda dumb.
No offense to the arknights en community but honestly I think it's a big copium from community when people say they don't care about delay and I don't understand why this community can't raise their voices and ask developers to catch up both translations, which is not that hard even for a small studio like hyperglyph.
Anyway, hyped for endfield but no fucking way I am touching this game if I would have to wait 6 months longer than other people 😂
Yeah man exactly
For example i got hyped for sho (nian sibling) at the time of the event in cn
But now ... I kinda not interested in it ...
6 months is pretty big gap between cn and en
Take for example punishing gray raven
The gap between cn and en is more than a year (year and half) and that's one of the reasons why pgr global is struggling ....
There's one solution that may solve this problem
Pushing the en events at a higher speed without or less breaks will close this big gap
(and this will create more problems bcuz of the upcoming limited banners)
But we know hypergryph wouldn't do this
One thing i did to almost keep my hype for the upcoming charecters is just ignore them (which is kinda hard cuz u always see them in youtube facebook X ...)
I'm someone who prioritizes gameplay over story. The only times I read the stories to their entirety was from episodes 0-8 of story mode and Jessica Alter's event (since she is my favorite character story-wise). I usually do like the story and lore of games, and do like learning about different characters within those games, however I just can't with Arknights due to the sheer amount that it has- I have to stick with the short summaries given before and after levels to not lose entire afternoons just reading.
That being said, being able to know what characters come and how good they are in advance is essential to me, and helps me manage my resources, and I am able to set limits on how many draws I do for each banner. The 6-7 month buffer being its current length actually recently helped me out, I wanted to get Hoederer due to how differently his survivability and damage worked in comparison to other operators, but then saw he would come back in "The Front That Was 4" banner, which also had Ines, an operator that when they originally released I hadn't started looking at guides yet, and once I did, regretted not trying to pull her (same with Yato alter- though I did just pull Qiubai (don't remember how much I invested in that), and I will say that she was worth obtaining, and I still use her today). That banner is perfect for me, and without knowing it in advance I would've spent my resources on a banner that yielded a lower chance of getting someone that I want.
When it comes to spoilers, I do sympathize with those who do not like them. I am firmly against people who leak things like movie reveals, Nintendo Directs, and other similar things, since seeing an official reveal is so much more satisfying than some dataminer saying "oh yeah this thing is happening," especially since many times they don't properly place spoiler tags- especially for images that appear when you're just scrolling, for RUclips being thumbnails. I was spoiled of a story development of something that I think was actually cool from a video thumbnail. Didn't even search for it or anything, it was on the home page.
I know that not everyone is like me, but also know that not everyone is like you either (referring to 1:58). I just feel like if there was a better way to filter the information we received in regards to the game and its various aspects things would be a lot better
This video is like the storytelling of Arknights. After you watch the whole thing, you get little to no content. Wth do you mean by "eating", the 6 months gap was there from the very beginning. And not only Global has that gap, all the other servers have.
I think Arknights EN couldve been bigger if the hype was around the EN server. The arknights is not growing, and giants like kyostinv can simply leave the community as it goes loose. Arknights EN is kinda dying. I dont know about the Jp and KR servers that also have the gap, but as for EN, it is indeed in a terrible state. People get hyped for CN, but in terms of global, people barely get hyped for "finally they released some content to play/read" Because they already know everything. And I am not here to ask Arknights to fix that problem(because that aint happening), Im here to talk to veterans that are passionate to the game that want to stay excited for its future. I hope all of your concerns were clarified.
@@The158Outlaws Content for AK is dying because the game is already almost 5 years old and theres not much to make content on a daily basis. there isnt enough in the game that wouldnt get repetitive to show everyday to ppl, we can only really make content out of guides, showcases and lore, but all those already have their giants, and in a old game its not simple to grew in a ambient like that
Yeah no, the story telling or Arknights is filled with content.
@@jillstingray8828 by storytelling I don't mean the story itself but the way how the story was told. I myself love Arknights because it's story has more depth than other gacha games. But because of the bad translation and the unique way of storytelling, every single event I have to wait for a recap to understand wtf is the story is.
TW server that is 11 months behind CN server : 💀
And global player have the luxury of not being able to read Chinese to not get spoil that esaily as long as you ain't looking for translation and stuff
Beside, having a six months delay helps f2p to plan/save up for pulls
And TBN there ain't much people making spoiler as well, I watches AK content on Bilibili daily and I didn't got spoiled too hard because they are so out of context most of the time. And people usually have the decency to not spoil major plot points anyways.
The six month lag isn't that big of a deal.
That is regarding the story, but the characters get spoiled just as they are announced
it happened to me with surtr. i started playing Arknights 4-5 months ago and recently I saw something about Surtr banner in a certain page an get really hyped for get her, but then I discovered that it was for the CN server and that there is a gap of 6 months between servers. (In the end, I get Surtr in Jessica alter banner somehow lol)
Well, I started playing after seeing a Texas art. And as for Surtr, she was my 3rd 6* and I got her on Fiametta banner
The gap helps me plan out. Also the hype for stuff literally never runs out because I don’t burn out due to being busy with an electrical engineering degree (god fucking help me). Being busy with school is so helpful because I get my fulfillment out of just afking and doing small things here and there crushing an event here and there
nah bro I'm not alone on the 6 months been a bless, the only one complaining are gacha addicts, that just want to pull for sake of pull shit, even I look the spoilers, new characters, new mechanics for the events, I'm still happy with the gobal sever been 6 months behind, not just bc I know which banners to skip, but aslo which operator in my roster is useful in the future, so I can farm materials and don't feel I wasted them, the only complain I have is with yostar making a mess with the events calendar, that they start with the Dorothy event
There are people who think its a bless, people who dont care, and people who hate it. And, I am not a gacha addict, I am a f2p and I just dont pull for everyone. Arknights barely releases interesting to me characters. And the easier it is to choose because maxing out an arknights 6* operator takes practically a month. So I have way more e0 6* than built 6*. Id say 1 6* every 3 months is already enough. And you will probably get more than that. Youd also want to build 5* for fun every now and then, so you dont really need planning as a f2p
Meh.. 6 months is much better than 2 year gap on fgo.
Still a long while
If people want to play without being spoiled then play the og server.
If those people reject that idea because they dont understand the language then they should blame their own stupidity ( I mean many ppl can still play the game even without understand the language).
And also I doubt many of those people can clear stages on their own, many of them need guide (aka Kyostinv/Oyuuki etc) to clear every stages btw 😏
I can imagine without global, HG will go bankrupt since not many people is big brain enough to see their mastermind 😂😂😂
@@abrahamwijaya6631why the hell HG will be bankrupt without global server ? 😮
Many of their revenue come from CN server anyway
@@HuruHara575 oh yeah right... I mean yostar since they global this game 😂
Let the dalaos break their brain chasing the cutting edge tech in Arknights CN. Us EN hobos can just enjoy the fruits of their.labkur and go "Thanks for Beta Testing the game modes and giving us an advance notice on who to pull and who to build and all that!
And in terms of story...so we catch up to the story and now what? We already don't talk to Arknight CN about anything so we don't really benefit in being ip ti daye with the speculations.
Hey remember when Lone Trail was a weird Rhine Labs event in Arknight CN and there was meaningless specula about demons and outer beings and whatnot.
Then Lone Trail gets released for EN and at the same time Arknights Endfield beta testing happened. Which revealed that the two are connected in some ways. So all those months speculating in CN got wiped out and everyone focused on what IS4 meant instead. It was fun.
I treat AK whiners the same way I treat twitter; see what they're whining about, realise it's stupid and ignore them.
Imagine being a tw server player(that is 3 months behind en)
absolutely delusional
Muelseye and Lin are secret EX tiers. The former is Also EX tier because of the latter.
EX what?

Seems like you are stepping into the Arknights content creation cycle.
Do you willingly want to receive THE BACKLASH? 😊
Im just talking on various topics and see what fits. Also, my videos are not provocative in any way, so if you are touched by it, its more of a you thing.
Funny is i know your pain. Back then your argument was correct since skin ticket existed making global has more engaged. Now?
Even if global EOS, sorry to say i won't go to CN since first thing, we all know how evil HG making content for newbie generally and second how bad HG making operator in basic i mean what kind of juggernaut can only heal itself if someone died when it block it.... You aren't centurion my guy😂
From players' perspective, I would say the gap actually has more pros than cons. Especially for casual players. Each to their own I suppose.
But, I do agree with the hype part. It killed EN content creators more than players since the excitement is already 6 months ago.
Your opinion on the situation relies on your playstile and how far you are into the game. And there is a big part of the community that hates the gap, as well as a part that likes it. But as you pointed out, EN doesnt get any excitement whatsoever. Like, CN releases one unit, the hype goes away a bit, they lash out another, and people usually just lose interest in operators they used to be amazed of because they just lose hype. I think it is also the reason why a lot of EN players just pull for meta units or units that recieve somewhat hype among the community. Because honestly, unless the unit is their waifu/husbando, people have almost no idea what to pull for. Their choices change extremely fast due to the earlier mentioned problem. And I think it is also the reason why Arknights EN isnt as profitable. Because people dont want every character. The 6 months gap is literally to the games own disadvantage.
@@The158Outlaws Right, this gap does bring a good deal of disadvantages. Fortunately, they already learnt their lesson and planned to release Enfield simultaneously later. This will prevent "Global content is stale" issue from happening again.
I can't... i can't play a version where i can't understand the words 😔
Yeah. Many people don't even seen anything wrong with spoilers to begin with, which only hurts other people's experience.
I only started four months ago and I've already been spoiled on so many things.. :(
@@rhael42 yeah. People went especially crazy with recent stuff from CN.
Sometimes it is best to treat Arknights as a pure single-player game without interaction with the community whatsoever
true, i came back to arknights after 2 years to get virtuosa, now i wont even pull for her
that sounds crazy ngl
It's all compensates with possibility to plan my pulls. Otherwise it would be much more stressful experience for me.
Womp womp
Eh. I kinda don't care. I know that to avoid and Im still hyped for the events even if they come 6 months late.
Perhaps you are just built different
Bro this 6 months gap is the sole reason I’m able to plan ahead for high/max risk cc, skip banners and get who I want. I don’t play CN cause I don’t wanna make an account on Bilibili, and also because it’s a big gamble. Only big EN content creators like Kyo, Sciel, Pard talk about CN news or do CN streams. Most EN content creators just whine about hard gamemodes and events (that got fixed in CN). I know I’m repeating myself but this gap is the best thing that would could’ve asked for
Then Don't watch CN Spoilers it's easy
Its hard to avoid them as if you watch any arknights content, they will naturally pop up in your recommendations. But yes you can avoid the spoilers a bit, you can avoid everything except for character sneak peaks and their names, which I am doing.
That's it my guy Don't watch and Don't Rant About That because as A F2P player we use to save for an Favorite Operator to Pull Because of That
*Make a YT video just to blah blah blah about CN
*Clown
Sees good character design, pulls.
I have no reason to hate this 6 months gap. I play this game since day 1 and knowing the future really help me a lot. I can plan for charactor i want to pull. Burn out for waiting them ? That not gonna happen to me.
not everyone is like that
People are considering leaving because CN character hype drops in EN after 6 months.
I am considering leaving because CN hasn't released a new furry operator in over 2 years.
We are not the same.
you are definitely built different
me, holding Fuu Wai close to my chest because female characters never get full-animal designs like her, the crocs, Spot and Hung, etc.
Im not even a furry, Hung creeps me tf out, but I still want women who are straight up beasts with human posture, when we already have many male characters/races like that.
We're eating deadlines
Especially the Free to play players
HG try to make us spend our resources on Ines and Qiubai banners so we won't be ready for Virtuosa
I pulled for Qiubai because yes and I got flametail. I have 0 pulls rn because of course I went all in, but, im pretty sure its fine, I dont think I will be pulling for anyone really. Last time I was really excited for multiple characters in a row was texalter reed alter qiubai and Ines. Eversince, I was just lazy pulling. I pulled for ebenholz and Jessica alter and thats basically it.
It has it's own pros and cons but i think the 6 month gaps is a blessing more than a curse.
Just a couple sec after the vid start im already laughing. What a hypocrite lol
Dude complain on "insert broken operator", " i play with 5* " blabla on his other vid and replies on the comments yet as you can see his team lol
You do you yeah ? What a bs
We do losing content creator but we don't need a hypocrite y'know
Careful you might end up with a controversy, what you doing is attracting it
First of all, it wasnt my account, I was recording on my friends account as he asked me for help just as I was about to record the video. And second, A3 and S3 are not possible without 6* and strong units in general, so at events like cc where you are forced to use meta, I have to.
And this comment is exactly why CCs are leaving arknights
are they? I think cc is here to stay@@kyarumomochi5146

@@The158Outlaws Just ignore people like these. These arknights whiteknights are so insane that they would rather attack someone than accept HGs faults
"But you're not everyone." The same applies to you.
"Why do you think the CN server is much bigger than the EN server?" This is the case with basically every gacha game regardless of whether or not the game has a time gap in the content, CN and JP always outperform EN. The same can be seen very clearly in games where content is released globally like Genshin or GBF. The kind of burnout you're describing, where the hype dies too quickly, is typically blamed on the time gap in games that have it. But in my experience playing games without a gap, plenty of people feel it too on games where the release window is closer or simultaneous. Hype dies quickly if novelty is all it has going for it.
still idk how EN AK would "fix" this even if they want to.
We can rush through it but of course, people have only a limited amount of brains per day.
If some newbie unlucky enough to join during the rush phase, they gonna be overwhelmed
So yea it is what it is.
Yeah it is absolutely unfixable. Which is quite unfortunate, but you can just try your best to avoid spoilers yourself.
Sometimes I'll try to avoid videos about upcoming content, but those videos are so prolific. There's a lot of benefits for planning ahead too. It's hard to find an appropriate compromise.
I absolutely love the 6 monthes gap!!!. It allowed me to plan my pulls and save up for who i want, especially when i can only afford the monthly card. And definitely not me checking the cn events wiki everyday for skins and event reminder😅😅😅
But i do want to say that i’ve been playing everyday for 3 years, and i just maxed level my account a few weeks ago. I also play other gacha games too and I’m aware of burnout effect. That’s why i rarely played main story, just to leave some excitement and curiosity for the future, and mainly played events, but i follow spoilers for the storyline, it’s the stages itself that i want to preserve, and also as a contingency pulls for the future.
Your profile picture definitely fit you
Thanks
How does it hurt Arknights EN with 5/6 months gap when FGO has 2 years and Dokkan battle has also like 5/6 months.
it doesn't hurt other gacha games so why Arknights?
explain please instead of just bad talking the gap.
It kills the hype. The 6 months gap is a huge while, and while there are gacha games with bigger gaps, it doesnt erase the problem. New players dont care, but veterans that have no content to complete do suffer from that kind of issue, because they already have all the characters and waifus they wanted. They just want to be excited for the game, but how can you stay excited when "new characters" are already old?
Delululululululululu
delulu, brother
You have a points but I still hate poosies complaining about spoilers.
I mean.... it's only 6 months. It could be worse. TW servers are 10 months behind CN and when they tried speedrunning through events to catch up a bit, everyone was telling them to stop.
Or there's Fate Grand Order where the EN servers are 2 years behind JP. Punishing Gray Raven's EN servers are 1.5 years behind CN. etc. So I'd say we have it really decent on Global.
It doesnt mean it isnt a problem, 6 months is still a while. I would say this 6 months problem mainly hits veterans, which I did mention. New players are fine with the gap, but the longer you play ak, the more you realize that when you have a lot of characters you like, you value characters differently, and a major factor in your satisfaction with the character can be their event. At this point of the game, you care more for the experience rather who you get. Because you probably already have your waifu/husbando, and if your waifu/husbando is an npc, you can just ask your friend to tell you that he/she is coming, no way do they decline that, it is so simple that theyd probably say sure. And Arknights doesnt really have as many new players because of how community has built and other factors, so Arknights EN is kind of dying. It is unlikely that the game will die, due to its extremely passionate player exceptions, and a huge boost from CN servers (as they literally copy their homework) but it certainly is something.
Ah, been a while since we had Tectone. I guess Tectone 2 is already here.
Good luck bro, looking forward to whatever kind of circus you cook up, seeing all your videos.
(Pro tip, never a good idea to make "what character you hate" videos even if it was satire, that shit don't fly well in media)
I kind of figured it out already, but thanks for telling me!
We already had Tectone 2 that called SUPAH
who gives a shit , maybe you shouldnt look into it so much
