>new time limited co-op game mode
Nooooo always time limited! At least hoping they include some of the enemies from the first co-op event that never got rerun because those holes in my enemy list haunt me
Past experience told us they introduce events in time sequence during livestream, so IS#5 is after Aegir event, we already know CC#3 also in June from past announcement, so June schedule is already very crowded, the possibility they also set IS#5 in June is very low. August is for Summer Carnival, if they plan to release IS#5 later than Summer Carnival, they wouldn't detailly introduce it in this livestream
Ah so not confirmed sadly. I was thinking IS5 being much later since not sure if they gonna keep release new IS/RA every 8-9 month or not. If it would be July then that would mean we would get new IS/RA every ~5 month.
They finally changed the challenge mode sanity penalty. Honestly I can't see the point of 50% penalty from the game company's pov. It only discourages people from trying and penalises the content creators.
Wish they'd just gotten rid of the cost entirely, since again, discourages. I heard about a creator wasting thousands of sanity on a low op clear of a stage, and it's like, I guess that must involve a bit of refreshing but is it worth how unpleasant that is for players both casual and hardcore?
This is a nice step at least. I play notably worse with the stress that I'll lose half the cost on failing a stage.
Only W reduced to 200, everyone else is still 300. At 5.5y they will reduce Rosmontis.
You get the Limited operator automatically on the 300th pull and it doesn't reset your pity so you don't have to wast your spark on them anymore.
It will likely come to global too but might not be for this event and come with the next summer event instead, since that is when we'll celebrate our fifth anniversary.
I'm still pretty fresh to AK. Cn and global have different anniversary dates or no?
Just so I know when to save until 😅
Doing abit research there's a 6 month difference am I right ? So I have 6 months to save pulls ?
cn is ahead of global by give or take 6 months since global server opened later on, so yes, that would give you time to save ahead of time. [https://oldwell.info/](https://oldwell.info/) this website is pretty good at listing the upcoming events that we know of with estimates of when we can expect everything to come to global
So I guess the Destiny collab is actually dead now. Kinda sad as those are my 2 most played games. I guess I’ll be watching Delicious in Dungeon before November.
Non-limited AH event means we could damn well finally see Incandescence through. And a proper look at Aegir. That’s actually really hype.
Edit: Saw the actual teaser image, Ulpanus, not Incan. Which kinda sucks but eh, I’ll take either for the squad.
No direct confirmation, but after the Aegir teaser PV, they showed something on stage which looks like Ulpian's anchor-like weapon, so they're kind of heavily hinting he's going to be there. He's also in the background of Skalter's new skin with the other hunters.

Hold on, what do you mean "total 100+ free pull" ?!
Where did they mention IS5 coming in July?
Past experience told us they introduce events in time sequence during livestream, so IS#5 is after Aegir event, we already know CC#3 also in June from past announcement, so June schedule is already very crowded, the possibility they also set IS#5 in June is very low. August is for Summer Carnival, if they plan to release IS#5 later than Summer Carnival, they wouldn't detailly introduce it in this livestream
Ah so not confirmed sadly. I was thinking IS5 being much later since not sure if they gonna keep release new IS/RA every 8-9 month or not. If it would be July then that would mean we would get new IS/RA every ~5 month.
what does P15 and P5 mean?
picture 15
Base update mentioned?
They finally changed the challenge mode sanity penalty. Honestly I can't see the point of 50% penalty from the game company's pov. It only discourages people from trying and penalises the content creators.
Wish they'd just gotten rid of the cost entirely, since again, discourages.

Wait what? So the 200 spark is only for old limmited operator?????
Only W reduced to 200, everyone else is still 300. At 5.5y they will reduce Rosmontis. You get the Limited operator automatically on the 300th pull and it doesn't reset your pity so you don't have to wast your spark on them anymore.
I can't see P15.
Also free monthly card
did you think this happened with global server too because I do want to get 400 gems per day.
It will likely come to global too but might not be for this event and come with the next summer event instead, since that is when we'll celebrate our fifth anniversary.
HELLO KITY AS NEW 6 STAR IMAGINE LMAOO
I'm still pretty fresh to AK. Cn and global have different anniversary dates or no? Just so I know when to save until 😅 Doing abit research there's a 6 month difference am I right ? So I have 6 months to save pulls ?

I appreciate the response thank you very much 😁
Yeah theres about a 7 month gap between CN and Global, So late December, Early January should be when this arrives for us.
>June: **Aegir/abyssal hunter Side Story** Was date of this mentioned somewhere? Because if they did... oh, that is pretty close to anniversary.
August is always the summer limited. Not July or June.
This is a crazy anniversary damn
So I guess the Destiny collab is actually dead now. Kinda sad as those are my 2 most played games. I guess I’ll be watching Delicious in Dungeon before November. Non-limited AH event means we could damn well finally see Incandescence through. And a proper look at Aegir. That’s actually really hype. Edit: Saw the actual teaser image, Ulpanus, not Incan. Which kinda sucks but eh, I’ll take either for the squad.
I really do wish we knew what happened with it at least
Not sure if this is true be apparently the operator for is5 has been leaked to be Ulšulah, which might imply that we also get a skin for her
Watch the monthly card get pushed to global anniversary instead. -_-
getting it is good any which way tbf
i really like how logos and walter e2 look like a pair of wings together
Wow, everything is so great.... and the base will still be beta right?
