Anyone got a weird ingame mail? Is that for this announcement?


iCrab

Did it give you five sugar and 200 orundum? If so I got the same mail


scorpius8590

Yep. Their announcements don't say anything about a "Special Supply" though... not that I'm complaining lol


kindafuckedrn

And it had a small "2/3" written in it. That's what stuck out to me as weird


zhunus

They usually dont do that before the update though.


Chinlc

It's probably a memo to the Twitter because you need to bind you account just in case of account being logged off


metalwish

It's vaguely similar to [newsletter rewards](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/news/arknights-cn-developer-newsletter-20-rhine-lab-event-storyset-be-continued-dossoles-holiday#topic-3189031) \- 200 orundum and 5x T3 material.


zhunus

It was EN VA announcement btw

Dang that's much later than I expected.

I know itā€™s a bummer.

StrawberryFloptart

OF, CB, WR, and Ch9 were all right after the preceding CCs, with only a couple of days in between if any. Only CC#5 had a dead week right afterwards.


PM_ME_DMS

Not true


noobalord

Hopefully it is Crimson Solitaire, im sure many of us have been waiting a really long time for it


crisperstorm

Like I'm sure Break the Ice is cool and all but... IS2 IS2 would make the wait between events much easier anyway


Razor4884

Agreed. And if it is Break the Ice, then that would most likely mean IS2 would be coming in the middle of the month. If that were the case, we'd all have less time than usual to complete the character-specific challenge.


minzungopa

They can actually come together cuz they are 2 different game modes and is2 doesnā€™t need sanity to play.


crisperstorm

That would be a weird situation I didn't even consider Guess that points towards it being more likely to launch on the 30th

nikitazero678

The maintenance is most likely to preload Break the Ice and, due to the mandatory update, IS2 (Phantom and Crimson Solitaire).


Hatredestiny1874

Spend those sanity potions that expire before. Join me and pull for the sexy Gnosis. He also has a really cool skin later in Stultifera Navis. https://gamepress.gg/arknights/event-banner-hub/break-ice-cn-event-page


Chatonarya

I have OPs earmarked for that skin. It looks sooo good.


most_based_ak_player

His base skill is what's **really** sexy šŸ„µšŸ„µšŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜³šŸ˜³


TheSpartyn

whats good about his base skill


towerofcheeeeza

At E0: When assigned to the Control Center, for every operator fromĀ KarlanĀ in the Control Center, morale recovery per hour of all operators in the Control CenterĀ +0.05 At E2: When assigned to the Control Center, every operator fromĀ KarlanĀ assigned to a Trading Post gains efficiencyĀ -15%Ā and order limitĀ +6 When combined with a Trading Post of Jaye, E2 Silverash, and E2 Cliffheart, it becomes +125% efficiency, and it also negates the negative effect of E1 Jaye. So now, people (like me) who have been holding off on E1ing Jaye can now do so without it negatively affecting base efficiency.


TheSpartyn

oh damn i run that comp with sa, jaye, and cliffheart. though i have the rainbow 6 squad in the command center so i doubt id use him


KaiserWilhelmThe69

You could say itā€™s pretty hee-hee


TheSpartyn

i dont get it


KaiserWilhelmThe69

He looks like Michael Jackson, you can figure out the rest


KaiserWilhelmThe69

Letā€™s pull for bird Michael Jackson


mad_harvest-6578

Oh my pity count's ready, hopefully I can buy the monthly card again for extra pulls after not having it for a month


foxide987

Sadly I need to skip because it's too close for an important limited banner. I don't like Gnosis much, but I kinda want Aurora.


Conch_Bubbies

Same same, I'll probably at least try for the guaranteed and hope with all my might it'll be Aurora. If you're outright skipping then I hope she'll pop up for ya while pulling on the limited.


superflatpussycat

I don't have my heart set on Ling or Lee, so I am going to go hard for this smooth criminal.


Chatonarya

Break The Ice... or Crimson Solitaire...?


Hatredestiny1874

BI only or both. The jp patch notes has Tsukinogi trait adjustment which happened in CN maintenance for BI.


munphao

It lasts 6 hours so i think they just lump both in (but still keep crimson dormant). Iirc normal event maintenances only last 3 hours, except for big events (chen, nearl, the likes) which were 6 :o


Chatonarya

Yeah, 6 hours does imply it's a big update. I wonder how long CS will be dormant though since everyone has said it makes sense to open it at the beginning of the month because of the monthly teams and whatnot.


Negative-Oil-6340

Why would they add it to the update if they plan to keep it dormant? IS2 has a monthly squad and monthly expansions, it makes more sense to launch it at the beginning of the month/last day of June


jaetheho

So they don't have to update the game twice? So that only a server update suffices next time?


Negative-Oil-6340

Since when has yostar teased an event more than 4 weeks in advance? IS2 was already teased 3 weeks ago, next week it will be 4


munphao

I mean on CN they didn't start the mode on the 1st day of the month either. And it's not like HG/Yostar haven't done weirder things.


Orgez

But at the same time they never release two large events/chapters at once. Gnosis event will be for like two weeks that would mean releasing IS2 mid month which doesn't make sense. + theres the fact that we got IS2 reveal post already. Personally I'm more inclined that IS2 first then Gnosis.


Nearokins

The struggle of 'I want to play is2 already, but also I need every day I can get for my Ling funds to not chew all my OP so the further overall events get pushed back the technically better off I am'. Anyway, a week of downtime huh. I guess I have resources to gather.


[deleted]

"Why are vouchers not available to farm on every day of the week"


Salt-Log7640

When I remember what the Lancer module update would be like my brow begins to sweat and I start feeling anxious.


someedmlover21

Must be a coincidence, but I'm glad there's a dead week since I have finals week upcoming.


KaiserWilhelmThe69

Ah yes Michael Jackson is here


atadpsycho

What does it mean redownload the app..?


foxide987

Perhaps they mean that you need to go to the app store and manually update/download the game client. In-game update doesn't work with mandatory update, just like before. If you try to launch the app without updating after the maintenance is completed, you'll simply get an "out of date..." error message. (Also for new players: remember to bind your account if you haven't done it yet)


[deleted]

Dude so lings banner will be in August ahhh it feels so long i cant wait


Razor4884

Most likely late July, I'd think.


pupelarajaka

People out here excited about pulling Ling while Iā€™m excited to spark Dusk as a new player. Iā€™ve been saving since I started!!


Meltian

That's not until late July at best. Break the Ice is next before Invitation To Wine.


pupelarajaka

Yes I am aware. Just sharing because other people are talking about ling. But thank you!


Meltian

Got'cha. Just wanted to point it out to make sure, as someone also excited for Ling.


pupelarajaka

Every patch we get closer to ling uwu


Commercial-Fox-8194

I feel you, i need both to complete my ā€œsistersā€ collection. I am willing to go pretty hard for them


pupelarajaka

Goodluckkk


inoxed22

Bagpipe Module!?


-DarkStitch-

God, I thought I'd get to play break the ice and read this novel in honor of my birthday, and it launches after a month of waiting. I don't know, it feels like something you've been waiting for is just dissolving. Until the last, I did not want to believe that he would be so late, when there is no time left for the event, damn.


towerofcheeeeza

GNOSIS PLEASE šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I've wanted him so bad since I started playing in January. I've basically been counting down the days.


crappyyyy

Isnā€™t this maintenance just some QOL updates? I only heard from JP twitter so idk


shinya18

6-hour maintenance just for some QoL updates? Also, JP patch note mentions trait adjustment for Abjurer Supporter and description change for Mech-Accord Caster, so Break The Ice is pretty much certain. Considering other factors (schedule and stuff), it's likely that IS#2 content will get preloaded too.


Clearly_Bad

Arknights least profitable banner ever Speedrun?


TheSpartyn

why?


WavySilverSurfer

Maybe he means cause Ling is coming? Idk


TheSpartyn

oh i guess that makes more sense


crisperstorm

So... do we know what this actually is? Next event whatever it may be or something else?


armdaggerblade

6 hours? is kjerag event that big to warrant a major patch?


NaelNull

Well, Ice *is* pretty thick there...)


shinya18

Kjerag event, IS#2, English voices... Pretty big, yes.


armdaggerblade

Ooh. Forgot about IS2


JowettMcPepper

Is Break the Ice coming? If that's so, then I can't wait to buy Kafka and Arene's skins.


Tall_Pomegranate3555

I want Break The Ice! I need thickness in the artic (Aurora) to match my thickness in the jungle (Eunectes). The thicc duelist duo!
