how do you feel about operators getting alts? is there anything you'd do differently?
I really like alts. They can add a new spin on the character as well as show character growth and change in a way that's reflected in the gameplay. As for what id do differently, I know it's a fucking PIPE DREAM, but I think it would be cool if unlocking an alter was less a pull thing and was more about completing a challenge. Amiya had something like this and I think it's a neat way to further incorporate the story of a character into the actual gameplay.
i want to stop having any alts whatsoever. society has evolved past the need for them
I for the most part dislike them, we have such a huge backlog of npcs we want first. Give Leizi one though
I do like corrupting heart because she's actually a different outcome for skadi, and I like the welfare alts for the 3*s because it's nice to have better versions of them, there are a lot of 3*s who are interesting characters. summer ch'en really disappointed me. I love ch'en and don't like seeing her turned into a blatant cashgrab. If you're going to make an alt that's just "here's her in a different outfit" at least make it something you can unlock and not a gacha thing
I have a lot of thoughts about arknights being a gacha game despite the story's themes actually. Like obviously it's a compromise to get the story to a wider audience, but as a creator I personally would not compromise my values THAT much lol
Half and half. I like alts because you're looking at the product of a a theoretical scenario. However in practice, I'm not a fan purely because I can't use the alt and their original in the same squad. For instance, I like Skadi's S2 for both versions but with OG Skadi, I tend to use her with Utage S2. For Skalter S2, I like using her as passive healing and buffs (and her summon) for the cases that medics might not exactly cover.
