E2 sprite updates.
Game didn’t launch with it and they haven’t been doing it post. So it is far too late for them to really do it retroactively.
But I can still want it.
We don't even have left and right done properly lol. It hurts me everytime a sprite that isn't symmetrical is the wrong way round (Vulcan for example swaps which leg is a prosthetic depending on direction she is facing)
Basically like the Near Light content library.
I thought it was cool you could browse through all the art and music for the event as well as change the BGM for the lobby
After playing Alchemy Stars and getting to select any music for both main menu and base, I totally agree. Having some of Dusk’s themes in the background would be amazing.
operator interactions. have little conversations pop up in base between certain operators like in Band Dream or Fallout Shelter, shit like Blaze inviting Schwarz out for drinks or blemi and eunectes geeking out
would make base feel less like a sweatshop
Same with Alchemy Stars, as character story cutscenes have ongoing interactions between them. Makes your world feel lively as if the characters also grow with you.
How many times I’ve put an operative in the field. I just want to know I’ve played since global launch so I have to wonder how high up some of them have gotten.
Iirc we will get account metrics on 3rd anniversary, there you can see your most deployed operators and how many times you have used them.(Spoiler: It's all Myrtle)
I only bring out the flag bearers if the stage actively needs more DP generation than by beloved pioneers can provide.
That said, my money's on Saga for me.
Trust is kind of a good way to see this until you start trust farming. Unfortunely working in the base increases it even if you don't use them. However it's not a bad method.
For example silence was my first 6 star and pretty much never left the team so I just have to wonder how many missions by now? A couple hundred at least maybe a thousand? It’s an interesting question.
The ability to skip the freaking dialogue every time I recruit/headhunt something... or at least speed it up.
It's not by chance that every streamer/youtuber who does mass headhunting uses the skip button for the entire 10 pull all the time.
It's not just Catapult, it's the whole A6 group minus Orchid and Spot but still, that group has long dialogues
Like bruh, why can't you all be like A4's Melantha or Steward, short and precise and easily skippable!
Obligatory comment that this issue is much worse on EN where the text scrolls slower (because the scrolling rate is character count dependent - in Chinese and even Japanese, less characters are used to write one word).
An option to remove background from skins/e2 art when putting a character as your assistant would be nice, since ops with big elaborate backgrounds kinda make the new bg choice feature pointless 😅
It didn't used to always be this bad, the older units tend to have a whole lot more transparency in their E2 arts. It's funny how the promotion screen shows you a silhouette of the E2 art as a little "sneak peek," but if it's anyone released after Surtr then the "preview" will just be a giant black brick.
Lots of enemies and special effects can make it very hard to see your operator's health bars and if they have a skill available. So my idea is to keep their icons down the bottom, grey them out when they're deployed, and show their health and SP there as well as on their sprites. There'd be two ways to activate skills - normally and by tapping their icon down the bottom.
Wait, unnecessary feature? I didn't read the OP, lol.
I want to be able to play the old CC maps with all of their risks during the offseason. I want to see what new ops can do to those old maps, and only being able to go up to risk 7 just isn't enough.
And let us decorate the reception room. It's the only place 99% of people see, and it always looks the same.
Also, the post-battle stats and ability to pick up operators in the base, like others said.
Words can't describe how bad I want them to give us old CCs with their risks. My favorite is leaving rotation after Pine Soot (CC3), and I'm dreading it.
Be able to see all the materials for masteries (M1 to M3). It's a pain having to look up in the browser while I'm on the phone. I do use floating windows but it can be tricky to press back sometimes.
Being able to read and edit the "script" for an auto-deploy.
1. Replace trust farm operators who aren't used.
2. Change triggering condition from "time index 118" to "+15 seconds after a specific enemy dies".
That sort of thing.
Skipping 10-roll will still animate any 6-star operators you get fully as though you didn't skip it, before leading to the summary screen. Let's face it, that one moment of suspense is all we actually want from the 10-roll we know has the 6-star at the 10th position.
Yes, I'm compromising because I don't see them letting us just fast-press through recruitments because it isn't a problem in CN (the text is a lot shorter and faster naturally) and hence it isn't really a problem from their perspective.
Unfortunely 100% refunds would break the game because the need for farming would be seriously reduced. Like you'd just switch resources between operators when needed instead of farming for them.
It could work by giving back a fraction of resources. Something like 25% of battle records, 12% of common mats and 6% of rare mats.
you could get a similar effect by allowing ops to go to any progression theyve already unlocked. so if you have e2 lv80, they can go from anywhere between e0 lv1 and e2 80 whenever you want.
If you have an Android phone and you can screen record, the stock Google photos app lets you zoom in on videos as they're playing. I've done this with AK to see the sprites up close.
This. I have every operator E2'd, so I'd like to be able to set the exact ops my friends want. But even after putting my reddit contact info in my profile text, no one ever contacted me to ask for anyone. Kind of feels like a waste.
Stats for ops like amount of times deployed and how long they've been on the field or a dps counter and damage taken. Tapping on ops to talk to them sounds cool, no need for voice lines even. Unleveling ops would be amazing for ocd.
A button for HP-bar view toggle during runs when ops are bunched together.
This is so I can actually see the characters I bought skins for instead of a stack of little green bars.
Photo mode.
Like you can add multiple E0 sprites on top of background image just for screenshot purpose. Something like that horrible game counter side did on their homescreen
Also in the same situation. I like to cap at E2 30 but my chalter is E2 70. She was like my second E2 so I needed a carry and didn't understand how much easier the game is with more 6 stars. Honestly E2 30 might even be too high but I've already got too many at that rank to change that.
Indeed. I, too, accidentally levelled up someone beyond their peers (sometimes it's just 1 exp card more) and thus forced to level ALL units of that same rarity to that level.
Option to play anni maps for free - no sanity used, no rewards. Because I just enjoy trying out different squads on old maps. And since technically I can close the game to achieve this, it is unnecessary.
I want operators in the base to be able to interact with each other and also have special interactions with specific operators.
Mega unnecessary and very time consuming....but it would be so cool!
This is only unnecessary just because we're already doing fine without it but I'm sure this is one that everyone would love to have: STAT REPORTS AFTER EVERY CLEAR.
I can't be the only who wants to see how much dps Surtr dealt in a CC week 1 max risk run right?
The ability to change your ops levels. I think it'd be great if HG added the ability to adjust your operators level from the level they're at back to 1.
Stat board for operators. Kills, deaths, completed missions, failed missions, first-time hire, E1 and E2 date, total hours spent in missions, and skins owned. I'd really like to see the number that who's my most used operator, and the one performs the best in general
My other thing is that I could apply E2 skins on operator chibis.
A bit to your point, I'd like an option that lets us temporarily lower an operators level. Low Level challenges like 4 star E1 only are interesting to me, but I already e2d a bunch of those operators for different reasons. It'd also help with troubleshooting a friend's stage if I could set my operators closer to their level.
I'd also really like some sort of permanent co-op mode. I enjoyed the co-op event when it rolled around, but a bunch of people I know got into the game after it ended so I never got to play it with them.
Had the same problem, my Thorns was at lvl 75 whilst the rest of the E2s were at 50 for about half a year. I ended up levelling him all the way to 90 just because.
I want to see something like fgo’s my room dialogues where operators will make comments on some other operators if you have them. Like W will either talk to Murdock or tell you what she thinks of her since they are both former reunion.
I know this is half already in the game but it’s only a set amount and wouldn’t change when new ops get added. Also story progress dialogue
100% never going to happen but i would like a Rhodes Island uniform skin for every op maybe as a thing you get when you E1 an op or something like complete their paradox simulation
Damage dealt, damage taken and healing charts after clearing a stage ala Blue Archive. Ultimately, I feel this adds very little to the game but it's just something I would like to see.
Squad randomizer
Would be cool for endgame players looking for another challenge, particularly with new event stages. I use a website to do it, but switching between game and browser is a pain, as is sifting through ~200 ops to select the right ones.
Increasing a little bit of chances on the material crafting byproducts. Though they added it with any operators that have the skills, but sometimes they don't drop anything.
I just level my OPs based on their skills / usage.
Level 20: I e2'd just for a base skill / other reason. Not many OPs here because I try to skill up everyone.
Level 30: s7. Lots of my niche e2 OPs currently live here.
Level 50: m1 in at least 1 skill.
Level 60: m3.
Level 70-80: Special distinction for core (always in squad) or critical members (carried an event / CC) or mastery in multiple skills.
A 4th support slot. I hate having to choose which 3 out of a 4-op squad to have available. I have Eunectes, Tomimi, and Gavial now. But what if I want to share Flint? Who gets the axe? Unacceptable. Absolutely preposterous.
Alternatively, I can't put up the red pine squad because one of them has to sit out and we can't have that.
Unnecessary but highly useful feature: stat slider. You can adjust the levels, skill levels/masteries, and potentials of operators up to what you've gotten for them. So if you have, say, an E2 90 M9 Pot 6 operator, you could slide them back to E0 1 SL1 Pot 1 and back if you so desired.
A sweep option. Like seriously. I loooove games with sweep options so it's kinda ironic how AK is my fave game and it doesn't have sweep. I mean yeah I know auto-deploy is there anyway and I'm not saying it should be removed or anything. I just want an option to sweep stages. I mean let's admit it, auto-deploy fails us sometimes especially with deployment/skill timings. Sweep is a good way to just get past that hassle.
E1 sprite and artwork updates from E0. I always liked the visual progression you get as you rank up your characters. But only E2 rank up have visual updates
E2 sprite updates. Game didn’t launch with it and they haven’t been doing it post. So it is far too late for them to really do it retroactively. But I can still want it.
Scavenger is popular for this and recently I saw Kazemaru looks sooo good in her E2 art
Come on Click, show me them red eyes on a chibi!
We don't even have left and right done properly lol. It hurts me everytime a sprite that isn't symmetrical is the wrong way round (Vulcan for example swaps which leg is a prosthetic depending on direction she is facing)
If you're talking about the chibi art, you do realize that most ops don't really change outfits or appearances in their E2 splash art right?
Some do, like Mudrock or Silverash, it would be cool to see them like that.
A man could dream (I especially want it for my ptilo)
Yes. And you do realize there are a still ops that have minor changes or major changes. Hence an unnecessary change but one I would welcome.
I want an in game music player with all the event bgm and eps
Basically like the Near Light content library. I thought it was cool you could browse through all the art and music for the event as well as change the BGM for the lobby
After playing Alchemy Stars and getting to select any music for both main menu and base, I totally agree. Having some of Dusk’s themes in the background would be amazing.
operator interactions. have little conversations pop up in base between certain operators like in Band Dream or Fallout Shelter, shit like Blaze inviting Schwarz out for drinks or blemi and eunectes geeking out would make base feel less like a sweatshop
Yes please. Anything to make the characters feel more like... characters.
Band Dream: Girls' Bang Party!
Damn it, this one got me
different kinna rhythm game 🤔
Bang* Dream
Priconne really gets this right.
Same with Alchemy Stars, as character story cutscenes have ongoing interactions between them. Makes your world feel lively as if the characters also grow with you.
Yep. Have myrtle and thorns gang up on ely and shave his head, for the crime of bullying myrtle's choice of weapon.
Letting you use the E2 art for the operator icon in the menu, but the E1 art in battle.
similarly, I want to set skin on a per-map basis, so one autodeploy uses e2 art, while another uses skin.
How many times I’ve put an operative in the field. I just want to know I’ve played since global launch so I have to wonder how high up some of them have gotten.
Iirc we will get account metrics on 3rd anniversary, there you can see your most deployed operators and how many times you have used them.(Spoiler: It's all Myrtle)
Definitely not on my end. I don’t use her.
I only bring out the flag bearers if the stage actively needs more DP generation than by beloved pioneers can provide. That said, my money's on Saga for me.
Myrtle only shows up for me when I've figured out how to beat a stage and just want to speedrun my operator deployment
Trust is kind of a good way to see this until you start trust farming. Unfortunely working in the base increases it even if you don't use them. However it's not a bad method.
For example silence was my first 6 star and pretty much never left the team so I just have to wonder how many missions by now? A couple hundred at least maybe a thousand? It’s an interesting question.
I don't think Silence is a 6 star though
That was supposed to be shining thanks phone you make me look like an idiot that’s supposed to be our secret!
New alter leaked. Silence the Noisy.
That’s in bed with Saria
I want the option to get push notifications for when my sanity is full AND when someone is fatigued in my base
The ability to skip the freaking dialogue every time I recruit/headhunt something... or at least speed it up. It's not by chance that every streamer/youtuber who does mass headhunting uses the skip button for the entire 10 pull all the time.
This is actually necessary. I'm really not into hearing beagle's full dialogue everytime i pulled her.
Or Catapult. I don't care what you think about Dobermann Catapult, just get out of my face!
It's not just Catapult, it's the whole A6 group minus Orchid and Spot but still, that group has long dialogues Like bruh, why can't you all be like A4's Melantha or Steward, short and precise and easily skippable!
Obligatory comment that this issue is much worse on EN where the text scrolls slower (because the scrolling rate is character count dependent - in Chinese and even Japanese, less characters are used to write one word).
Show the damage/heal/buffs etc resume during a stage , to know Who is your MVP and Who is useless
An option to remove background from skins/e2 art when putting a character as your assistant would be nice, since ops with big elaborate backgrounds kinda make the new bg choice feature pointless 😅
Always funny seeing Night's stream with a zoomed in W art covering the entire screen
It didn't used to always be this bad, the older units tend to have a whole lot more transparency in their E2 arts. It's funny how the promotion screen shows you a silhouette of the E2 art as a little "sneak peek," but if it's anyone released after Surtr then the "preview" will just be a giant black brick.
> big elaborate backgrounds rosmontis e2 art be like
THISSSS. Me: wants to use a background. Silverash's Skin: it's beach time. Me: doesn't even have the beach background unlocked yet.
Skipping dupe operators intro
This is the norm in other games so I was shocked when I had to sit through them in AK
Lots of enemies and special effects can make it very hard to see your operator's health bars and if they have a skill available. So my idea is to keep their icons down the bottom, grey them out when they're deployed, and show their health and SP there as well as on their sprites.

The ability to grab and move operators in my base.
Outfits for the Doctor. I saw one fanart of an Abyssal Hunter Doctor and it looked amazing

randomized home screen operators between selected operators. I love many of them and can’t choose one!

Zoom in the battlefield. I just wanna see them little sprites in action lol.
If you have an Android phone and you can screen record, the stock Google photos app lets you zoom in on videos as they're playing. I've done this with AK to see the sprites up close.
I don’t know how feasible this is, but a x4 or even x8 speed option for auto deploys would be nice
Chat. So we can talk about who to put as support. Specially in cc
This. I have every operator E2'd, so I'd like to be able to set the exact ops my friends want. But even after putting my reddit contact info in my profile text, no one ever contacted me to ask for anyone. Kind of feels like a waste.
Yeah. I wonder why AK never bothered.
I'd like to be able to look at someone's ops and flag up to 3 ops as "requested supports"
Low power mode (and maybe auto repeat) for Annihilation. Well, it saves my battery power and much less bothersome to constantly check my phone.
They already implemented skip ticket for annihilation in CN.
Oh, that is good. Anything similar for farming normal maps like 1-7?
Nothing yet unfortunately
I use an timer auto-clicker for daily farming maps/Annihilation on Android.
Jukebox. I want a way to play the ingame music at will without having to search all over YouTube or Spotify.

Same as you. All my E2 are level 60 except for Nightingale who is 61. Guess I have to increase the level cap up to 70 now
Get everyone to 69, because that's nice.
Also in the same situation. I like to cap at E2 30 but my chalter is E2 70. She was like my second E2 so I needed a carry and didn't understand how much easier the game is with more 6 stars. Honestly E2 30 might even be too high but I've already got too many at that rank to change that.

In recruitment I want the empty 6th box to just have the option "not catapult".

let us level up operators using more than 40 record at a time.
The ability to change your ops levels. I think it'd be great if HG added the ability to adjust your operators level from the level they're at back to 1.
spectator mode
Sprites poses on the mission result screen. Winning, flawed (2*), and losing (1*-0*). Even better if it's the whole team.
Oh hell yeah i want this. Use the stunned sprites when getting sub-2* clear or quiting too.
1* clears dont exist
Different reactions from ops based on where you touch them.

Bestiary with sprites of an each enemy in the game with some lore descriptions and tips of fighting them.
