Eyja Alter is Everything Wrong With Arknights. But...

I... I did it... the positive video... it's here... I finally released it...
Eyja Alter is very much a new low for this game, but that's probably alright.

[@milkcarton7064]

I personally think Alters are good for one big reason: it keeps a character relevant in terms of story and gameplay. A player can only remember so many characters, this is especially true when it comes to gachas where multiple characters are released in a monthly basis. Alters help the players keep up to date with the present, ever-evolving story of a character and seeing visible changes related to said story without having to actually change their past details, of which players can get really attached to. The fact that this helps characters stay relevant also helps in fleshing out the world-building and lore of the story. As for how I think alters help characters stay relevant in terms of gameplay, it's a bit of a cheesy technicality. If an older character gets power-crept by newer characters, an alter with the same impact as new characters can be made for the older character. Yeah, it's a bit lazy in terms of power-balancing, but it somehow just makes sense to me, you know? A great example would be Siege, the most power-crept 6* to have ever existed. I think introducing an alter of her would be pretty nice, an alter related to the Sigh of Kings she got. Let her gameplay tie-in with her present story or something, that's cool. Well, that's my take on alters. But yeah, this expectation on Alters is pretty unrealistic in other games that isn't Arknights or something

[@thatalbeeguy]

alters as an idea are never argued to be bad. it's alters for already relevant and popular character that feels like a cheap cashgrab. Would you really put reed alter and eyja alter in the same boat?

[@milkcarton7064]

@@thatalbeeguy I don't mind if an already popular or relevant character gets an alter tbh. As long as they had major character developments and they aren't too new. But yeah I see your point, swimsuit alters are pretty lame

[@Milessss]

@@thatalbeeguy That argument would be valid if they constantly made alters for the most popular characters but they usually don’t, so I don’t see how it can be viewed as a cash grab. Obviously every once in a while they will make an alter for a popular character/6 star, and I think there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. In this case they even made an alter for a pretty unpopular character at the same time.

[@CzDelta92]

the problem with alters comes more from a why did you made a 6* another 6* and not a lower rarity operator evolving and becoming more powerful, imagine if instead of repeating 6* you got lappland alter, gummy alter or some other beloved character that you barely use because their niche and rarity is low imagine zima indra melantha dobermann, the point is putting some old ops on the meta not already meta ops in the meta again imagine if insteaf of eyja this was a gummy event with the same theme with bears and she got the same healer kit, she was already a healer tank, we went from a caster to a healer

Honestly I can't really call this event a "tone killer" - it still has a bit of the usual Arknights sadness & geopolitics, and for all his goofiness, Dolly somehow fits in with the cozy, emotionally healing vibe of this event; this event's tone is mentally chill Also the tone of this game was dead the day they introduced Emperor

[@mojavefry2617]

I feel that even whacky characters like Emperor don’t really detract from the tone that much. Not everything in life is serious, and just a casual look at the news and social media shows that utterly insane and goofy shit happens on the daily. Having something lighthearted such as Emperor and the PL crew in general help Terra feel like an actual world. Just like how one person could be having the best day ever while another one is utterly despondent, or how one area of the world can be just fine while another is in utter chaos, Terra like our own world is a place of variation and extremes.

[@idoltrash2353]

Yeah I thought this event was going to feel silly but Dolly ended up being such a fantastic character and concept. I actually felt a little choked up when you realise two of the sheep are representations of her parents. And sure emperor can be silly, but the shot of him turning up in il siracusano will always be the most arknights of all time and honestly it goes hard as fuck. Generally speaking I appreciate that the writers don't feel tied to making one type of story with a particular look and feel

I’d argue thatthe event being goofy isnt tone killing, its just a refresher from all the serious depresso we ve been feed. There are still some serious issues discussed in the event aside from The wacky antics of dolly and the bunch. IMO this was the best summer event so far despite the overtuned eyja

[@mojavefry2617]

Yeah. Everything being super serious 100% would actually kill the realism of the world. Not everything in life is dark and serious, so goofy events like this one help balance things out. Besides, an immortal penguin rapper was among the earlier characters introduced in the game. And it’s an actual lore point that Doctor boils instant ramen directly in their mouth. Goofiness is just as much Arknights as seriousness.

[@jhonlhorbae9430]

So in Arknights, you get an Alter if you wear a swimsuit, hold water gun, wield double sword, and wear your dead parent's coat? At this point, I believe the whole Arknights community will be more hyped if Frostleaf get a 6 star Alter. She literally deserves it; gameplay and storywise! I'll be waiting for that for sure.

[@byeguyssry]

I've always thought that Alters made sense. If you want to make an existing operator the main character of the event (especially if it progresses their story), what are you gonna do, just rerun that operator? Everyone who already has the operator wont be rolling. Not very profitable; you cant even retroactively turn them into a limited operator or increase their rarity. So naturally if you want events where an existing character stars in, you'll make a second version. Granted, I dont think theres enough character development to justify alters most of the time, but I blame it on Arknights's writing just generally not being consistently good

[@Joseph-gy2rn]

Yeah, I read Break the Ice and Dossoles Holiday one right after another, the quality diff is bizarre. It's just like DH was written by the company's interns to see if they were capable of writing a minimally consistent story and see if they could move up in position. In other hand, BtI is great, everyone has at least more than one personality trait and a good level of dimension, even though having different screen times.

[@Ramen-4-Life]

While I appreciate this video and his now nuanced take on Alters, I feel like this is just the calm before the storm. 2024 SUPAH's gonna be hatin' like no one's ever hated before. And I'm here to enjoy the ride.

[@Truck-kun11]

One of the biggest problems for me is that they just stuck Swire in the middle of the event and made the event take place in Siesta just so they can say it's a summer event because everything involving Siesta and Swire is IRRELEVANT TO THE STORY! You can remove everything involving Swire and make the story take place anywhere else and it doesn't change ANYTHING about Eyja's story, and that irritates me since I honestly enjoyed her story but 50% of the event is filler that is only there for take up space and justify another random Alter

[@akety3570]

Well Adele's parents did show Siesta's volcano to her AND Adele did call out the Volcano's eruption during the Obsidian Festival, so the location at least makes sense. Other than that i 100% agree. Swire and Bison's stuff shouldve been a mini-event or OP record, and don't get me started on Poncirus lol.

[@geethaprem580]

Excuse did you play the same event it took place in siesta(or specifically 'old siesta')which lemme remind you has an active volcano and ejya is an volcanologist also it is where her parents and Keller met. So she has a large number of connections with the place. I daresay no other location would have worked

[@Kristina.Larson]

The limited op alter spam is breaking many bank accounts and hearts. I rolled 300 to spark because I was on hiatus when Ch’alter and Gavi’alter came out, so I was going for one of them… and ended up with all the things through 300 rolls. Seriously, I scored 14x 6* over 300 pulls (one being the spark for Gavi’alter.) This was likely all my luck for the next year.

[@darkindragon]

I got Chen holungday as my second 6 star 86 pulls which was pretty nutty

[@gachivalantine3792]

Got 5 6* after 250 pulls, 3 of which were Swire 😂 (I'm done with this game)

[@PlatinumKrown]

If it makes you feel better, I sparked chalter on Gavials banner last year, but luckily I was able to get both 6 stars this time in less than 100 pulls.

[@mojavefry2617]

While people spending money is the entire reason why Arknights is still around, I kind of don’t feel sorry for people who dump a bunch of money on the game. That’s lack of impulse control on their part. Like, I love it. It has its flaws but it’s honestly one of the best-developed fictional worlds I’ve ever seen. But at the end of the day, it’s just a game. Am I disappointed if I try the banners only to not get what I want? Yeah. But only disappointed. There are other things in life I enjoy so not getting a certain character from a digital gachapon machine isn’t going to be the end of the world. And even if a character is super OP, you can still play the game without them. Arknights is a game that rewards clever thinking and is designed to be largely doable with whatever operators you currently have.

[@kaitok1d731]

alters are actually good because it means HG can focus on developing their already pre-existing characters instead of creating more characters and not developing already existing characters.

[@ThaDude]

As if there was a major character development. Just because they overcame a hurdle doesn't mean an alter is on the way. Reed is a good example of 6 star alter done right. Her expression from her 5 star compared to her 6 star on E2 is already a story in itself.

I think the biggest difference between Chalter and Eyja Alter in terms of balance is that Chalter removes the relevance of other damage dealers, which is a problem, while Eyja removes a mechanic that almost nobody misses.

She powercreeps every single medic in terms of raw healing, aoe casters in terms of multi-target healing, and especially she powercreeps Lumen since not only his high afk hps was a big part of his value, but stuns lately mostly just come from nervous impairment and she just deletes that.

[@joaogoncalves5357]

@@velvetra29 When was the last time you needed a medic? I don't mean choosing to bring one, I actively mean, NEEDED, a medic. Shining comes out every millenia to help Hoshiguma/Cuora/Nian facetank some 103432 level CC boss, and Nightingale carries that one HX level. Elemental Damage, or rather the culmination of it, Status Effect was one of the very few reasons left to ever actually use a medic. On the very off-chance you need a medic, Eyja's probably the answer. (Not to mention she clears a tile for use by another DP by virtue of healing from a whole plane landing strip away.)

[@tridentgreen3346]

Honestly, I enjoyed the tonal shift to this event and below the surface it still has some rather Arknights undertones with what the sheep are. Levity is good. It barely feels like a summer event (partly the fault of the cold snap the ushered the event in on Global), it's half a summer event and half about Eyja's self discovery. She's not in a swimsuit but her parent's old protective gear. When every other arc is looming war or annihilation, being able to just party is a good thing. Also every single bit of event music flipping bops, they killed it again.

[@sachariel6951]

As a f2p who keeps coming to the game and leaving it, I don't think alters were ever an issue. Having a game where playable units recognize the passage of time by having them get new stuff/units is a common aspect of gacha games, so really I don't find the alter aspect to be weird. Being upset about their lack of "appropriate character development" for an alter seems to me a bit silly when HG at least tries to embody actual narrative development. So much more gacha games do so much less for a seasonal variant. 6*s getting a 6* alter is also not too strange imo because popular characters help make money. Chen was a major character in the main story, and Eyjafyalla has been the most powerful Core caster since year 1. Gavial The Great Chief Returns was a really sick event, and while I wasn't around for the initial run, I love the hell out of the SS and made me love Gavial, Tomimi, and Eunectes, and I'm glad that Gavial got an alter too with the Ideal City, although it sucks that she's limited and I never got to play Ideal City. Eyja not receiving anything substantial (and no, a skin is not substantial, it is a skin, not a performance package) in terms of narrative or what not for the many years she's sat on top of the Core Caster pyramid honestly makes me welcome Eyja Alter, who isn't even so much a "summer" unit as much as she is a girl wearing her dead mother's heat-protection gear coming to terms with the death of her parents. I'm an Estelle simp like Dr. Silvergun, holy shit would I love for Estelle to at minimum get a 5* alter, but I don't particularly hate other characters getting theirs. Limited is still an issue, mostly because we can only assume when a limited banner will come back and not catch players with their pants down and lacking pulls. And from what I remember hearing, this limited banner came so much earlier than it was expected to. But alters are fine in the grand scheme of things. I would fucking love an alter of Silverash and Estelle. An alter of Fang, an alter of Blaze, heck, even give a 4* alter of a 6*, I think that that would be pretty cool.

[@zomfgroflmao1337]

So basically the conclusion is, games lower their standards over time, so I accepted the consequence of a game living so many years and going lower on the standard scale, but I have to say that is not really the truth, because they prove time and time again that they still can do great stuff (like the Rhine Labs event or, probably, the Arturia event), which makes these weird bad banners (and events) stand out. But, hey, to put a positive spin on it, that we can still tell those are bad offshoots means there is still quality in the game as a whole.

This event, i did 2 things First was play caster knights (with added mumu). It was the single worst decision i could have made, those invisible enemies are almsot impossible to kill when your only blocker is a weaker goldenglow. The second was fill out my entire screen of unbuilt 6 stars, with swire alter and regular ejya being the final pieces. ( Hopefully I'll get a new 6 star soon, i need eyja with her module for a goldenglow buff, but don'twant to build her and ruin the page) Still, events fun, and the steam mechanic, whilst a little jank, is engaging.

I think who got alters in this event does actually make sense, but only if you look at two important factors: The time scale of moving chess pieces in this game is very, very long, and that events are not in chronological order or scale across plotlines. For example, each Sui event after Ancient Forge (which is its own bit of weirdness) is supposed to be happening over three weeks to a couple months at most, despite it being a year between events for us. This event is the progression of the dual plotlines of Dossoles Holiday and Heart of Surging Flame, which chronologically happened at the same time, six months after the end of Chapter 8. This would be the same time as Near Light and sometime before Stultifera Navis. This event is set around two years later, based on the Siestan volcano having not erupted yet and that Sire alter has two more years of experience than Swire original. Eyja's reason for becoming a medic is tied to why she got an alter: her actions in Heart of Surging Flames was directly tied to saving lives, and again in So Long Adele. It's her progression from using the prodigious arts she studied in her youth to the life saving arts she uses to save others that could have suffered the same fate as her parents. Which makes at least as much sense as why original Gavial is a medic. Also, between the her and her alter, there's been no change in her combat experience: None. She's a child Arts prodigy and living war machine, and also canonically is a noncombatant more suited for healing than mass murder. Also probably helped her get an alter that her story was directly tied to a Sovereign of Beasts, who tend to be key players in many events. Swire's reasoning is more complicated, being the tie in to Dossoles Holiday and the Main Story. Previously she was an operator under orders of the LGD, and was a member there against her fathers wishes. Even still though, she was cast in her father's shadow instead of her own light. Swire alter is her progression of both accepting the role as commissioner of the LGD and forcing her father's legacy away with her own business accomplishments. She's now an operator because she wants to help Rhodes Island, though she's business savvy enough to still charge for it, and thus is a Merchant Alter. That all being said, what you said is understandable. The weirdness of in-game timescale and the very slow roll out of these connected events makes it feel like the stories drag on forever. The interuptions of more exciting events also means people forget what arcs are in progress and the developments characters have, usually well before they get their event.

I am waiting for SUPAH Alter after all that character development

[@Haruka00]

this is basically how i feel now after a bunch of alters exist.

[@Salim-RS]

SUPAH brother, another pogger vid from the rizzler himself. Yeah I think the inital wave of seeing Eyja alter exist was a bit too negative but once the event hit global I really did enjoy the entire package (GG Summer Skin is peak cute) so I'm glad to be proven wrong to some extent.

[@yuriislife2381]

remember Beagle alter?

[@yogi_gs]

We need new new ursus student event with alter gummy next.

[@general477]

Honestly I see Alters as a way for the game to slow down the crazy number of characters in the game story wise. Think of the MCU, who the F cares about more than a few of the post end game new characters, at least compared to the OGs. Marketing wise, take a character people already like, make them new again, people who liked them before will want this new version. Is that bad? I don't think so.

[@chaosstripe9446]

13:57 ehh, not really? Dolly is a Sovereign of Beasts, just like Emperor. It's basically sheep god, making sheep "clones" with the minds, memories, and emotions of the people it liked. If you think of it that way, it makes sense, as Emperor is the same class of creature but just spends his time as a rap god for fun. They've lived the entire time span of the planet and have god level powers, so crap is gonna get real wierd, real fast.

[@bloodred255]

the thing about alters is, Its a new unit, I don't have to trust farm them. thats about it. when eyja dropped 6 months ago, I saw the banner and was like meh, I guess I can skip it. the mylnar showcase you link pretty sure has some elemental damage down (probably playing on easy not even surging waves) and isn't really a valid showcase. by all means go ahead and try it for yourself, see what relics are required or what surging waves. I tried it, without relics I'm pretty sure it doesn't work even on surging waves 0.

[@gargutz907]

Dunno, i think better to have a lot of alters to use some recurring cast of characters throughout the overall story than just add another hundred of chars who are relevant for 1 event (Minimalist? Kafka? Puzzle? Any ursus girls presence anywhere at all?) or has no story and presence at all (Poncirus, Canatabile? Who is Humus and why is he on the landship again?).

[@mochalatte8362]

-Because hot birb women and bull man duh But seriously though, HG keeps pumping up unnecessary 5 stars that could've had potential storywise, but Arknights is a gacha and 6 stars better according to Andreanna(Lowlight) so :sadcat:

[@quasarkwell4823]

SUPAH had a character arc? Time for SUPAH ALTER.

[@yunan9610]

Can't wait for something like the Gavial event's Blaze alter with a broken version of La Pluma Archetype.

[@xenotyphon]

Holy sh!t, SUPAH and character development? Name a more surprising pair!

[@Trash_G0lem]

Idk honestly, if they kept focusing on like 50 characters and just made events and alters for them it wouldn't be that bad, the universe is overwhelming now, and i would even say bloated and with a shitload of blind spots. Making the scale and cast smaller is not necesarily a bad thing.

glad the antagonist has finally become the ally. we will all band together to defeat the true big bad!!!

[@ploinefost9468]

Ah yes, SUPAH remind me of future events and banners. Well, need save pulls for new power creeps starting with typhon, then arturia, degen, this bunny...

[@hellnickyable]

it's not about expectations. it's just summer events sucks. CN anniversary events have been bangers. This event at the very least felt like they did justice for eyja's alter (and the story) even albeit kinda goofy, but not as "wtf" like Chen alter.

[@velco781]

SUPAH are you ok? Is Mister Arknights holding your pet rock hostage? Come on you can tell us, just say Gummy is mid and we know something is up.

[@vxidart]

Sinceramente parlando, io mi aspetto sempre qualcosa di chill per l'estate, gli alter concordo con te che bisognerebbe dargli un valore in più nella caratterizzazione del pg, Specter Alter la giustifico perchè mi è piaciuto il fattore che ha finalmente ripreso coscenza di se etc, però un alter come Skadi ancora non lo abbiamo avuto, ci sono pg che hanno molto potenziale ma non vengono mai scelti.. l'evento di Arturia spacca, è fatto benissimo e i pg sono sempre stati attesi e non vedo l'ora di pullare entrambe! ho già 200 pull (spero che nella live di sabato non ci sia Zuo lee playable e che il fratello di Chongyue non sia troppo figo altrimenti dovrò skippare o prendere soltanto e sperare bene Arturia)

[@VideoGameNtn]

Supah having a passing acceptance and not a hyperbolic meltdown? 2024 already hitting different

[@Skorak]

Honestly making the event called "so long Adele" and NOT killing Eyja in it is probably the biggest missed opportunity for me. Like, that would automatically justify the alter and be honest, it ain't like you're gonna do much with her after this.

[@SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH]

I remember you 5 months ago commenting that the story was probably gonna be eyja in a coma dream lmao

[@Skorak]

@@SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH Still salty that it wasn't NGL. Unlike you I still yearn for the year one days.

[@danielalbertomartinmartin4743]

Now that you've changed, how long do you think its gonna take untill we get Chen alter alter?

Hey brother SUPAH, make that 9 Swire Alter fans because I was legit waiting for her for a while now
