VulpezTFI think Silver Palace has a chance to come out with a combat system that actually makes it feel distinct from other games like Wuthering Waves, Genshin, Endfield, etc. and I want to see them embrace that uniqueness rather than watering down the risk-reward combat model.
Thanks for watching and let me know how you feel about risk-reward combat models in gachas and if you'd like to see Silver Palace stick with this or not.
This Change to Silver Palaces Combat Would be Wasted PotentialVulpezTF2026-05-19 | I think Silver Palace has a chance to come out with a combat system that actually makes it feel distinct from other games like Wuthering Waves, Genshin, Endfield, etc. and I want to see them embrace that uniqueness rather than watering down the risk-reward combat model.

Although I don't want to jump on any bandwagons, as a Day 1 Star Rail player, I wanted to say something about the situation since I don't think there's any sign of change and I think a lot of key points were missed.
The 3 big areas I've been focused on are the big picture analysis, the REAL problem that caused all of this (which I haven't seen anyone talking about), and the community reaction which felt like a dam breaking resulting in more of a tidal wave of frustration rather than a focused conversation.

This is the first Gamescom Presentation where the Endfield developers go in depth on topics such as Endfield's Inspirations and what gamemodes could arise from them, fun vs. manipulative combat/character kit design, fun vs. manipulative endgame design, a dedication to creating replayable content, possible gamemodes utilizing entirely different forms of combat (such as turn-based??), and how the devs parse and implement feedback. Welcome to Endfield Hopecore.
Big thanks to SmugSlav and Hibah2082 (from Reddit) for sharing the slides/summaries and transcript of the presentation respectively.
Thanks for watching.

It's become pretty much accepted as fact that Endfield has the worst FEELING gacha system on the market, but I simply disagree with this. When looking at the entire system holistically, there's a lot of nuance and many factors that are never mentioned when talking about Endfield's monetization and how it compares to it's peers.
This conversation occurred during the Braxophone react livestream. The gacha was not the main point of Brax's video, and the main point was also seemingly very mischaracterized/misrepresented which I don't want to contribute to here. Just to be clear, Braxophone's video was not in any way a hate video and the small snippets included here were just springboards for a larger conversation we had during the livestream.Typhoeus Prep Time | Wrapping Up Endfield 1.4 | Possible Variety LaterVulpezTF2026-08-22 | ...ENDFIELD 1.5 VERSION PREVIEW | Endfields Strongest Warrior Arrives to Bounce All Over ItVulpezTF2026-08-21 | ...He Exposed Endfields Biggest GambleVulpezTF2026-08-19 | This video explores the current State of Arknights Endfield and the challenges Hypergryph will face during Endfield's live service journey.

DPS checks and generic rougelike gamemodes leave a lot to be desired, and in this video I explain why these are so bad and why they can ruin the foundations of a great game.

It was a blast getting to watch the matches and the strategies being played out by players who put dozens if not over 100 hours into practice. But I wanted to talk about my thoughts now that the tournament is over and talk through some ideas I'd like to see in future tournaments. I'm also very excited for future Endfield tournaments so I think it's important and interesting to have this discussions about competition.Endfield 1.4 Livestream React | Endfields Strongest Warrior Bring ONLY Posi VibesVulpezTF2026-07-10 | ...The Philosophy of Arknights Endfield (Debunking Story Criticisms)VulpezTF2026-07-09 | The conversation around Endfield's story has felt overwhelmingly negative for it's entire lifespan which I believe is a complete shame since there's a very interesting story being told here.

At least, I hope to provide my point of view on how Endfield is doing right now.
