Was Chiyoda shorter than Minato? It feels like it's been forever since I cleared Minato that I can't tell. Maybe the old level gates played a part too.

>>73000 Old level gates forced you to be more aware of your stamp collecting so you'd spend additional time gathering enough stickers to reach the next part. I only got blocked off once in Chiyoda because I was one sticker off.

>Tentacles >In Neo Chiyoda City, there exists a building owned by Magata. His followers would never dare tresspass, but ina city where streaming determines life and death, there are always thrill-seekers who are willing to attempt a break-in for views. For better or for worse, the enigmatic figure known as Zenichi Magata never fails to spark the public's curiosity. And today, there is yet another streamer who has decided to step foot into Magata's Building. "Huh? Why won't my stream start...? Is the signal being jammed...?" Despite wanting to start streaming immediately after stepping inside, the signal was cut. This was a puzzling development, but it also confirmed his suspiciouns. Magata must have a secret he's hiding. He switched his phone to video mode and began recording. Venturing deeper into the building's dimly lit corridors, he documented every step. But then, despite being mindful of his steps, something snagged his foot. "Wh-What the hell?!" Before he could hit the ground, something wrapped around his body and lifted him into the air. Looking down, he saw mechanical tentacles slithering out fromt he shadows, writhing and extending towards him from all directions. "Oh my, oh my, this won't do at all." A holographic figure flickered into existence before him -- Zenichi Magata. "Trespassing on private property is quite unacceptable, you know." "M-Master Magata...?!" "You see, when someone gets caught by a terrifying security system, they really have no right to complain." Magata was smiling. But unlike the gentle expression stretched across his face during public broadcasts, the smile he flashed here felt eerily chilling. "Now then, those who pry into secrets that are not theirs... must simply disappear." "W-Wait, you're joking, right? Under the governing rules, you can't--" "Ah, you assume the governing laws prohibit murder. But I must inform you of your error. What you are experiencing is merely a recorded security response to an unauthorized intrusion. Nothing more. The system is simply eliminating a detected thread." Magata's smile lingered for just a second before his hologram abruptly vanished. Left behind was the helpless intruder and the swarm of automated defense weapons surrounding him. Once again, the depths of Magata's Building remain shrouded in mystery...

>Deadly Red Alert "Boring. Next." This was before the world fell under Zero's rule. One day, the air inside the Chiyoda Castle conference room cracked with tension. Tenshin Otori, seeking to solidify his control over Neo Tokyo, had gathered the brightest minds under the banner of the Urban Defense Initiative. However, despite countless researchers presenting their work, none had managed to capture Tenshin's interest. "As I thought... Military power without that is ultimately insignificant. Just as he sighed in disappointment, the final presented stepped forward, a slight smirk on his face. "Zenichi Magata... A renowned authority in AI development." For over a decade, Magata had made a name for himself as a genius in both life sciences and artificial intelligence. There were even rumors that he hadn't aged a day in all those years, adding to the unsettling aura that surrounded his existence. Magata remained completely unfazed under Tenshin's sharp, appraising gaze. Instead, he offered a slow, courteous bow, his hollow smile never faltering "Petty squabbled are a foolish endeavor. A true rule should not waste time dealing with such insignificant rabble." "Then tell me, what is your solution?" "This is why I have created 'sentient weapons." Magata explained that his AI-driven weapons continuously learned from combat data and adapted with every battle. In essence, Magata noted, both humans and AI operated under the same principle: utilize information to determine the most optimal course of action. "Furthermore... these weapons are capable of self-replication as needed. Of course, they retain all accumulated combat data, allowing them to become stronger and evolve endlessly. Does this proposal meet your expectations?" Tenshin's lips curled with satisfaction. Beside him was a young man -- Ojiro Otori -- silently observed the proceedings. He quietly raised a hand, breaking his silence up until now. "Why did you create such a weapon?" Even in the face of the young man's pointed question, Magata's expression remained unchanged. "Heh... Simply to serve the ruler of Neo Tokyo. Is that not sufficient enough for you?" Behind his mask of a smile, there was something unfathomable, a depth impossible to gauge. Sensing it, Ojiro chose not to press the matter further.

>>73000 This was due to Zero Red Marks being less. But I do think the side Quests were less this time around. But that is mostly too compensate for the new bosses and a huge event coming up. >>72494 >>72539 >>72299 Honestly i like it here. But that's because China, India and Russia are IP banned from posting and the quality has improved tremendously. Even on other boards it feels like people can just have a conversation or talk about a game than needing I ragebait or shill. As for new posters what really matters by the end of the day is the quality not the quantity. 8ch is probably at a comfy level and barely will gain anything huge outside of the influx. It will mostly be organic growth.

Nagisa bloomers

Auto mode XB is a fucking scam, I lost my first game 0 - 5. It's been ages since I lost and it was never a shutout.

>>74300 Update: It was not auto mode's fault. It was me. I am simply getting my ass kicked for some reason now even though I am at/above the same level as the other team and had no problem beating similar teams before. Is anyone else playing ranked XB? What are your matches like?

>>74485 I'm also getting wrecked pretty hard despite everyone being at least lvl 50 EX rank with tier 8/9 patimons.

>>74485 Haven't tried, but I heard everyone is getting their asses kicked.

Holy shit, that ending. I liked the changes they made for XB to require solving the mystery, verity balls felt more logical this time around and I used them all up. The Magata twist was obvious but I still liked the execution. Lmao Yo got fooled by a chatbot I think we speculated a little before that Zero was reviving us for every TPK and that seems to be the case. If people don't always come back perfectly that could be a good explanation for why Tsuki sometimes seems so out-of-touch with her supposed best friends. >>65550 Kek Ichinose catching strays even in death

>>46001 I think they need to be hit when they're lined up with the shining eye, just punching any droplet into the tree isn't enough, they need to hit the eye.

NINE chats Hinagiku: https://pastebin.com/4pfbF0me Ichinosuke: https://pastebin.com/76b7FZ1U Saizo: https://pastebin.com/UNyz5jfw They each have 3

>>75653 >Third Ichinosuke chat More Q/Aoyama fuel

>>75953 I think giving fujos fuel at this point

>>76134 is cruel What the fuck why did it cut off

Take downs apparently count toward the encounter count now.

>>71749 yeah the game looks good but i really want to be able to hide the ui for screenshots

>>75653 Chapter 3 adds 7 Enoki, 2 Gotanda, 3 Hinagiku, 1 Senju, 3 Ichinosuke, 3 Jio, 1 Kazuki, 13 Mita, 2 Miu, 1 Oi, 6 Saigo, 3 Saizo, 3 Todoroki, 1 Tsuki, 1 Tsuruko, and 1 Yo conversation. >Iroha: I jumped off my bed... and landed hard on my butt.

>>76571 You can open the menu and the UI will disappear for a second or two.

>>76730 oh cool

How do the chats and the chat archive work anyway? Say you have a new player that rushed to get to neo chiyoda, are they going to miss any chats that only work if you haven't finished neo chiyoda yet?

so what's the best spot to farm maid drops?

>>76876 This route from Hina's cafe, I think.

>>76971 thanks also what am I supposed to do when the tree boss charges the team wipe attack?

>>77220 Cover its eyes by hitting the water balls. When you cover one eye you have to go to the opposite side to cover the other one.

I didn't look at his kit closely and don't have him as a guest anymore, what does Ichinosuke do?

>>69410 I wish Kaiden would tell me where to put Potential Gems for each character. It's kind of confusing sometimes.

I have to be doing something wrong with daily pvp. Every time I try to do it when the daily reset happens no matter what I try I can never see even a single other person's request. I can't be losing pvp so badly that I'm unable to even see a request before theyre all gone, every single day

>>76971 Has anyone determined the parameters required to auto wipe maids? Is it merely a matter of poopsocking to 60?

>>78459 I got too excited for XB and cleared the chapter without ever checking him on accident so I would like to know as well

EoS status?

>>76876 There's a teleporter in the lab with 1 maid mob if you want to just spam it with some aoe like Q or Kazuki and run back, but the other route includes flying robot to farm bombard so it's good if you don't have it maxed yet.

>>56620 Today's staff illustration

>>76806 I wish we could see old chats.
