As of writing, we are merely hours away from the launch of the global Arknights Endfield – Technical Test. I have been selected, through nothing but sheer luck much to the dismay of those around me, as one of the participating testers. This is incredibly limited technical test should not be confused with a beta test as its intent is to gather feedback and squash technical issues, but I am nonetheless stoked to be able to play Arknights: Endfield early and find out what it is like.
It was about a week ago when the new game mode Pinch-out: Experimental Operation released in the international version of Arknights. Given the impressions I had come across online I was anxiously preparing for a bad time. Yet, I find it to be largely an improvement over its predecessor called Contingency Contract.
As much as I love Arknights, there has been one aspect of it has that started to bother me the more I play. For a mobile gacha game that surprisingly tends to respect the player, it has always confused me as to why its events are the one thing that do the complete opposite. This especially came to light during the recent re-run of Dossoles Holiday, which is the only event that to my knowledge has had a system that completely solved the issue at hand.
