[viscid swift]

what

[atomic abyss]

you gotta get all the steps/nodes

[eternal moth]

If you don't have enough to max out the board you should prioritize getting the modernization, but ideally you do want to get every node.

[grizzled creek]

Ok, thx. & yea I probably won't be able to this early on

[night pumice]

is the best way to get t3 retro prints just working around the highest hardmode node I have unlocked

[cobalt rapids]

yes and 3* rewards

[viscid swift]

that and 3 starring hard nodes yes

also check the guild shop for any that pop up on occasion

[eternal moth]

Yes, but just remember that different stages drop specific ship type prints. x-4 is carrier, for example.

x-1 is DD, X-2 is cruiser, and X-3 is BB

[night pumice]

ah. what's the recommended retrofit priority for a starter fleet?

[atomic abyss]

Uni -> Port -> Starter

[calm nymph]

endless c1

[hushed cliff]

Are yellow Seafangs any good cause I have like 15 but don’t have the heart to get rid of any

[steady beacon]

2x 500lb bomb fighters
In lieu or shortage of 2x 1000lb bomb fighters, they are perfectly usable

[sweet delta]

In excess of 2x 1000lb bomb fighters, they are still good for fleet power

[jaunty vault]

do they give the same fleetpowa

[soft raft]

What

[ruby grotto]

hi, how many Wyvern do I need? Is it better than spearfish?

[eager mulch]

you need 0 wyverns

[novel solstice]

Wyverns are pretty helpful when you get to the plane-hell worlds. You don't strictly need them, but every bit of extra intercept is good.

[ruby grotto]

oh, then what's the typical torpedo bomber to use for my Volga? I'm about to try clear W13 Hard

[eager mulch]

best TB would be wyvern/spearfish

next would be skypirate, pr5 TB, breguet

[ruby grotto]

umm lol, so guess I'll craft a wyvern, especially since W13 is plane heavy..?

[eager mulch]

but you don’t need any of them

i like spearfishes more than wyverns but they’re expensive

[ocean fiber]

Agir and Anchorage are great tanks right?

[ruby grotto]

i can afford one, guess i'll craft spearfish then, thanks

[ocean fiber]

Now my next question is how are they great tanks

[eager mulch]

lots of HP, decent Eva

good skills

[hushed cliff]

Is this a good plane loadout for Zep as far as yellow planes go for her number 3 spot I only have Barracudas. The 2 1600lb bombs seem really good on the destroyer or am I wrong

[eager mulch]

btd destroyers are ass

[ocean fiber]

Ok that’s good I’m working on agir and then after Anchorage I think my fleet is lacking tanks

And heavy hitter

[hushed cliff]

Why are they ass? Is it cause they only have 2 bombs

[eager mulch]

bomb hit rate

[hushed cliff]

So should I use a barracuda

[soft raft]

BTD Destroyer is a good example of higher rarity doesn't mean better
That fighter plane is situationally good against medium armor When AA is not a concern

[ruby grotto]

is flapjack the best fighter plane? like the go to for all cv's fighter slot? other than bf109g for light?

[eager mulch]

hvar for light, bfg for medium, fw-190 for heavy when concealment is maintained, flapjack for all other intents and purposes

[jaunty vault]

why do you like spearfish more than wyvern

[eager mulch]

because if wyvern intercept is the difference between winning and losing then it’s honestly a skill issue

[jaunty vault]

[jaunty vault]

your first and second and perhaps third UR gearlab TB should be wyverns

cant help it if you already crafted spearfish tho, its a really good plane

[hollow gust]

I like aoe in my mobs more then rocket

[eager mulch]

aoe?

[hollow gust]

Those torps from wyvern clears mob better

[eager mulch]

how

[jaunty vault]

more damage,yes
more aoe? no

[cobalt rapids]

aoe?

[novel condor]

still dunno how or when to use my spearfish

[sullen creek]

I know da way

Use it on enty to minmax anti light

[cobalt rapids]

how to not be poor on plates

[eager mulch]

opsi

[hollow gust]

I have one maxed

[topaz smelt]

Spears are just better in every way

[glacial heath]

buy wasp with 1000 core data or farm from archive?

[atomic abyss]

why tho

[soft raft]

CV RLD Tech

[soft raft]

depends on if you feel like you have enough core data to spare or enough time to spare

[atomic abyss]

frankly i'd just wait for her to spook on builds

[soft raft]

Wasp cant be constructed

[atomic abyss]

[eager mulch]

11 days of W13 hard

[glacial heath]

getting close to 1k core data, but in war archive is it fine farming like a3 node, or would the rng be better on other node(that drops wasp) ?

[topaz smelt]

do you have full sets of core data gear?

[soft raft]

we have no clue about drop rates but like there's little reason to farm A3 over like D2 or D1 unless you're unable to clear those two yet

[glacial heath]

i dont know what full sets of core data mean, image of it? I have bough gear with core dat abefore.

[topaz smelt]

3x shells, 3x sub gear, 3x beacons, 1 vh, 2-3 missiles, 2-3 s4g
something like that at minimum

[viscid swift]

Wasp drops from d1 and d2 of fallen wings anyway

[keen sable]

I would do soyuz. Sounds like you could use a great backliner

[glacial heath]

i lack 1 beacon. Is missiles the sy-1? I have one of that+(the btter version of it). What is s4g? Sub gear i have like snorkel, purple pressure, and oxy

[soft raft]

yup Sy-1 is the missile
S4G is seal of the 4 gods

[keen sable]

Seal of the four gods

[glacial heath]

ok i lack o atleast one for an shan, atleast,

[keen sable]

If you can't do hard mode in ex war archives you shouldn't be doing war archives

[glacial heath]

i can do it

[trim bear]

do u run 3 cruisers with boss fleets?

[soft raft]

there are like 3 different vanguard hulltypes with the word "Cruiser" in them

And hulltype doesnt specify role, it's always on a ship-to-ship basis that fits the content you're doing

[trim bear]

oh then the 3 tanky ish ones

[soft raft]

You certainly dont need 3 main line tanks for boss
That's not how it works

[trim bear]

whats the difference between mob fleets and boss fleets then and what do i run for each

[soft raft]

mob fleet fights everything that's not the boss
Boss fleet fights the boss

As for what to run, instead of asking rather abstract questions, post your dock in a thread and specify what content you're doing so we can gve you proper help

[trim bear]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbguide i was trying to copy this and i saw they put 3 tanks for their boss fleet so i was wondering if i need to do that for bosses thats all, but u r saying not to

[soft raft]

That is semi outdated

[trim bear]

but for early game is it still valid?

im like as new as u can get

[topaz smelt]

its fine outside of the starter fleet

how has no one made an updated guide to it yet?

[sinful crow]

Just returned to the game after 5 years of no playing and I have forgotten everything. Can someone point me towards a way of relearning most features.

[soft raft]

I mean there's sam's guide https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips most generally reccomend nowadays

dunno go tickle the ECTL guys or something, that's prob somewhere deep in their bucket list

[trim bear]

wdym starter fleet, is that the main story or?

[topaz smelt]

ye i wrote that

[soft raft]

the guide I just linked is good

[trim bear]

oh ok should i use this then

[sinful crow]

Alrighty thank you, I'll give it a read. Any tips off hand you would give me aside form the guide?

[topaz smelt]

every tip you need is in there

outside of learning the game

[sinful crow]

Alrighty ty.

[topaz smelt]

but the site in general has tons of helpful guides

[sinful crow]

I mean it should be helpful I don't even remember what oil is for. XD

[topaz smelt]

all i really see from here is complaints about how bad the ectl guide is but no one is able to make something better?
and also the update project is dead, everyone quit

[soft raft]

Damn that's crazy
I know cheeky's been working on a guide of his own but it's prob not like the ECTL's stage-by-stage one

otherwise I think it's just that not everyone has the time to do it

[viscid swift]

my guide is a guide to 100% collection rate, it's not a progression guide

[topaz smelt]

so play 2 years?

[elfin hollow]

Hindenburg is tank than Agir ?

[viscid swift]

hah, if only it were that simple...
or fast

[eternal basalt]

3 or 4 easily

[elfin hollow]

Are you sure ?

[sinful crow]

Also since I'm retuning should I just join any odd level 10 guild or no?

[topaz smelt]

level doesnt matter, most important is activity

[soft raft]

she's not as tanky as Agir, kinda squishy for a UR CA/CB afaik
Yes we're sure

[sinful crow]

Ok

[eager mulch]

Hindenburg is less tanky than portland iirc

[frank kernel]

Nah two years to hit the rerun cycle and anything you're missing at that point is either due to complete unavailability or lack of trying

[topaz smelt]

it scrapped together newbie tips in like 2 days

[elfin hollow]

There no information on top tier for Hindenburg On background

[topaz smelt]

shes just dps

[eternal basalt]

There are reruns that take 4 years... lil San Diego when I was new...

[soft raft]

if you mean the description on ECTL, alot of ships dont have them or have updated ones and there's no expected timeframe for any updates to them

[elfin hollow]

I see

[soft raft]

And yeah Hindenbur's basically stonks DPS CA

[topaz smelt]

ye we need more writers

[viscid swift]

I mean is there really a need for such a guide anymore at this point. Between your newbie tips and Sam's fleet building guide that basically takes you to W12 or so pretty easily which is the important bit.

[tiny gulch]

so shinano-chan is top tier?

[topaz smelt]

the issue has been exposure to guides rather than content lately

[soft raft]

top tier for a chibi ship
Which kinda means jack shit in the long term

[topaz smelt]

doesnt help when idiots try to discredit useful guides

[tiny gulch]

how does she compare to non-chibi ships

[tame jungle]

Not stellar

[viscid swift]

she's the top end of elite CVs, that's pretty much it

a good option for new players who got her

[topaz smelt]

ye shes usable

[gusty olive]

Budget Shinano

Quite literally

[eternal basalt]

Just wait when she grows up

[zenith locust]

Who should I choose? mainz or chapayev?

[soft raft]

They're both pretty good
Depends on the content you're trying to do and what you need for your comp

[zenith locust]

I'd like to add mainz to mob fleet

Is it ok?

[soft raft]

Yeah that's fine
Just keep in mind though that she doesnt have any ASW capability (She is the only CL to not have that ability) if you're gonna do something like 14/15-3 and 14/15-4

[zenith locust]

OK, thx

[silk sphinx]

Should I even try to improve this

[cobalt rapids]

nah

start another one

[silk sphinx]

starting talents be soulful, artillery ace (FP), and chief of staff... just missing out on i guess something like destiny ig

[topaz smelt]

Soul+flame is like the minimum you want

[silk sphinx]

the minimum?

i did catch flame, but that's the best oscar i've gotten up to date

[trim bear]

do we level all the skills of the characters we use or just their best one?

[cobalt rapids]

all skills of ships u use except port

[trim bear]

what do i do for portland?

[cobalt rapids]

u leave em at lv1

[trim bear]

all of them?

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[trim bear]

why? i thought she was good?

[cobalt rapids]

shes good, her skills suck

[viscid swift]

she is for a new player, but one skill will never be used and the other is whatever

[cobalt rapids]

well not suck but one is pair req which u shouldnt use and the other one is rly low value

[trim bear]

ok makes sense

[cobalt rapids]

theres other skills like nachi and myoukou draw fire that kills em faster when grinding but if u use em ure prob tech farming so it doesnt matter

[ruby grotto]

hi, i'm using the below comp with +10 sextuple aa guns on vanguard for 13-1 hard, however still getting wrekt by planes in boss fight, anything else i can do to improve?

[topaz smelt]

better fighters?

[earnest crag]

How do I get exp data packs?

[topaz smelt]

using lv 100+ ships

[ruby grotto]

using flapjack on implacable, and bf109 on enterprise, switch for another flapjack for enterprise fighters?

[modern sandal]

do subs count too for academy?

[topaz smelt]

would be better

having enough acv for AS+ would help too

[ruby grotto]

anything else you can think of? boss is still like x20 before i die, even vanguard also getting wrekt, my acv is higher than 4370 should be good there

[topaz smelt]

is your vg properly geared?

an underleveled unzen likely doesnt help either

[cobalt rapids]

using underlvled unzen doesnt help

[topaz smelt]

could easily be either more AA or more survivability

[ruby grotto]

got it thanks, how about isuzu to replace unzen?

[cobalt rapids]

rather lvl ur actually good ships

[ruby grotto]

i do have some ships leveled to 120, any suggestion?

[keen sable]

109g is shit. What else is sus

Are you syncing your ships? Placy is good for that

[cobalt rapids]

i dont know ur dock, if u want open a thread and post ur stuff

[little plinth]

is drop rarity affected by clear rank? I'm farming for new orleans, do I have to get an S on the boss node for a chance to drop?

[viscid swift]

s rank guarantees a ship drop yes

[topaz smelt]

not getting S has a chance for no ship drop

[worldly pewter]

use guam as main tank and try to max the AA on ur vanguard

[ruby grotto]

i have no idea how to sync, would like to if there's a link to learn

[keen sable]

Just checking because syncing is actually a terrible idea

[topaz smelt]

in short, trial and error different planes/gear and get all the ships to shoot at about the same time

[ruby grotto]

ok thanks

[earnest crag]

How do I get T1/T2 data packs?

[viscid swift]

primarily from the lecture hall

which you feed by farming with level 100+ ships

[hollow gust]

Lmao your back again

[grizzled lion]

Who should I get from the training. Hood or illustrious?

[viscid swift]

well what else do you have for ships?

[soft raft]

And are BBs currently avaliable in your medal shop?

[eager mulch]

little enterprise has both CV and BB this month iirc

[grizzled lion]

@soft raft no. Sr cv

[eager mulch]

using non mlb ships

[topaz smelt]

Fell for the newb trap

[grizzled lion]

@eager mulch MLB others to replace some others 🤷‍♂️

[grizzled lion]

?

[worldly pewter]

what training ?

[soft raft]

Pulling for NJ/Shinano

[eager mulch]

he already has hood

[grizzled lion]

At top of home screen. There is a little red tab. Has missions to finish.

[worldly pewter]

anything that u don't have

[grizzled lion]

@soft raft had them for a little while now 🤷‍♂️. NJ I got in reg building

[half plover]

is there anyone else leveling up ships to lvl 70 for mlb at 12-1 or am I the only one crazy enough to do it lmao

[soft raft]

yeah that's exactly what ricest means
Pulling heavy/special for either NJ or Shinano is a bad use of cubes

Especially now when there's a new UR most certainly coming next week

[worldly pewter]

if the can cash spark there is no issues right

[viscid swift]

get an enterprise dupe from the rookie missions, you're in desperate need of more gold bullins

[soft raft]

newbies sure as hell wont have enough for pity and even if they did, that would be infinetly more better used on new gacha URs

[grizzled lion]

@soft raft had them for a while. I'll still pull the new one as well. So not worried 🤷‍♂️

[tawdry sluice]

Is there anything specific I should be aiming for from gear lab? Assuming I have nothing from it already

[eager mulch]

wyvern

[soft raft]

/gearlab depends on your needs but these are generally what people craft

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Gear_Lab_Priority.jpeg

[balmy skiff]

is shina/enty/ark royal good enough for opsi cv fleet?

[viscid swift]

please tell me at least all the limit breaks on them thus far have been with dupes

[tawdry sluice]

Thanks, didn't know that was a command

[topaz smelt]

Something like 1-2 wyvs, 2 457s, an assortments of planes

[grizzled lion]

@viscid swift thay would be a lie tho

[viscid swift]

sigh, don't do that in future

Why you should never partially limit break a UR ship in Azur Lane.

What I said about concentrating on getting one ship max limit broken at a time goes doubly so for UR ships the time to get enough Bullins can be a few months. However, one common mistake players make is partially limit breaking a UR, don’t do this. The issue mainly comes down to how time-gated UR Bullins are, by doing this process you will very likely run into the conundrum of being halfway through limit breaking one UR when another, better UR releases. If you choose to continue limit-breaking the ship you started on then that pushes back the use of the newer UR by quite some time but if you choose to make a start on the newer UR immediately you’re left with 2 partially limit-broken URs which as I said earlier is not ideal in the slightest and doesn’t benefit you in any particular way at great cost in terms of bullins. Holding onto your Bullins until you can max limit break a UR in one go gives you much greater flexibility in who you limit break and you can avoid the conundrum mentioned earlier.

[worldly pewter]

didn't georgia gun fell from high priority of the past ?

[eager mulch]

says who

[worldly pewter]

i m seeing my own progression as a point of view

[soft raft]

Bruh

[viscid swift]

what

[eager mulch]

huh

[worldly pewter]

well i will wait for pilica for some hints since u aren't even bothered to explain anything holy

what an attitude

[viscid swift]

that's because we have no idea what this supposed to mean

[soft raft]

Well first can you tell us how exacly you came to that conclusion?
You cant just say some out of pocket shit and expect us to understand crystal clear

[eager mulch]

you said “fell from high priority” and provided no proof or explanation

[topaz smelt]

its still the best mobbing gun in the game

and 14 and 15 are mobbing worlds

and its still good as a singleton

[forest palm]

457 is still the best use of T3 Ord afaik

[worldly pewter]

for someone who doesn't have any equipment from the gear lab
getting wyverns after that getting georgia gun based on this conversation sounded not the optimal routing ( since i also held off from crafting any until now )
#gameplay-help message

[topaz smelt]

ideally you get 1 from gear lab and 1 from protocore somehow, then some spearfish/other planes

[eager mulch]

just wait till they put out tenrai

[forest palm]

me with 4 Tenrai, and only really using 2 in most cases

[topaz smelt]

im at 6 tenrais only use 2

[viscid swift]

in the context of looking for an AP BB gun against bossing in OpSi it is low priority

because the champaign gun is better and cheaper at it

[topaz smelt]

id only use 457 on uvh in opsi

every other ap gun would be a better option

[viscid swift]

the 457 though has other uses and esepcially in Campaign it does shine even if it is expensive

[south sequoia]

Question, have you guys put down musashi to mob duties in opsi with soyuz release?

[viscid swift]

for OpSi yes

[eager mulch]

musashi got benched

[wind hazel]

i did

[eager mulch]

triple CV mob gang rise up

[soft raft]

yeah
Before I benched her to cross fleet for the Aquila/IndepKai/UniKai strat

[hollow gust]

Why use Aquila , nj stronger

[eager mulch]

I use saratoga kai, indep kai, and uni kai

[viscid swift]

honestley I keep forgetting NJ exists half the time

[patent pivot]

Musashi enhanced is more than just 3->6 lightning right

[topaz smelt]

i still prefer sashi

[hollow gust]

Musashi has no crossfleet

[eager mulch]

she does tho

[hollow gust]

It doesn't buff my CV damage 🚮

[sweet delta]

Then your CVs suck

[hollow gust]

? Isn't that only a corssfleet barrage?

[topaz smelt]

id rather shit be dead than wait for a strike

[half plover]

are juneaus skills important if I want to raise her?

[soft raft]

Why wouldnt they be

[half plover]

it's just a matter if they are high prio or if I should focus my main ships first haha

I only got 2 academy slots and not that many books

[soft raft]

well if you dont have any plans to use her anytime soon, she can be benched for a while

[steel imp]

fancy seeing you here abdou

[night pumice]

all ships need a total of four bulins or copies to mlb right

[soft raft]

Correct

[eager mulch]

yes

[night pumice]

oh okay good, that means I only need four bulins for a UR then

[steel imp]

is there an updated beginners guide? played a long time ago and i think all i know are outdated and old acc is gone

[viscid swift]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[worldly pewter]

sry mate can't help u here as i do in gbf

[steel imp]

its fine im basically starting from scratch again in azur lane

[worldly pewter]

i also lost my arknight account althought it was linked to yostar
it kept giving me a verification code and then ingame it tells me that my address isn't registered

[tawdry sluice]

Feel free to ask any questions you may have, also contact yostar if you remember anything about the account

They might be able to recover it depending on what you can remember

[soft raft]

Your UID and any applicable receipts for in-game purchaes in particular

[tiny kettle]

is this a decent lineup? dont mind levels. also im probably not gonna use fleet 4 at all but i might as well build it

[eager mulch]

CV fleet has no stop

[soft raft]

Tosa prob isnt exactly fit for boss fleet and Monarch is currently competing with Musashi for Flag position (And also hard whiffing half of her barrage)

[tawdry sluice]

Slap whatever cross fleet abilities you have in the 4th fleet if you have any

[rain vine]

should open a thread and show dock

[tiny kettle]

i mostly got tosa for cross fleet. i dont think ill use fleet 4 until i get better ships

[sweet delta]

5 or 10% debuff, same as in-fleet

[tiny kettle]

alright

siren fleet

[normal crane]

Should I upgrade this?

[rain vine]

upgrade it in gear lab, if possible

[whole crypt]

you can but it's not a priority, AA guns take electronics which usually go to planes first

[fallow lark]

So I can buy 4 bulins and I can claim the pass one, I need 3 for laffey but I also wanna do unzen, but also the new one is coming.
I'll probably end up doing 3 for laffey, but is unzen a bad option to do too? And is the next one gonna be good?

[rain vine]

we have no idea, so you should save

[soft raft]

we know nothing about the new UR yet besides that it's gonna be a new UR so you should save

[tiny kettle]

should i put formidable instead of joffre?

[normal crane]

I have 50 military grade electronic rn should i just save it then?

[soft raft]

do you have Ark Royal?

[tiny kettle]

yes

[whole crypt]

50 isn't a lot that's like 2 gold planes

[soft raft]

yeah just save
you can get STAAGs from research seasons anyways, I've never bothed to obtain STAAGs via gear lab

[fallow lark]

I mean, If I do 3 for laffey I still have 2 and I can get a 3rd from the event point stuff, so that would leave me with the task to get 2 UR or just get the stuff to buy another bulin

[soft raft]

Use her instead then
Technically formidable has a stop but it's so inconsistent that you're better off using Ark's slow

[normal crane]

Got it, thanks

[tiny kettle]

alright, thanks

[normal crane]

Is there a way to get the gold ordnance report faster tho?

[whole crypt]

you could just wait to see if the new UR has higher prioirty than Laffey, you need 7 between her and the new UR and that 7th one shouldn't take too long into next month to get anyway

[soft raft]

grind grind grind baby

[viscid swift]

plus at this point though while not likely a double UR event is a distinct possibility

[whole crypt]

it's not like Laffey II is anything special if you're not fighting anything that spikes her like 14/15

[fallow lark]

And what about unzen, is she any good?

[sharp token]

haku is already good without fs5?

[viscid swift]

yes, one of the top 3 highest damage vangaurds in the game

[whole crypt]

high DPS CA, good yes but again, wait for new UR

[viscid swift]

yes

[soft raft]

As long as she's D30 yes

[fallow lark]

Does she work as a tank or only like a dmg dealer?

[viscid swift]

she has less eHP than Portland so

[fallow lark]

[whole crypt]

Portland just has surprisingly high eHP for a low rarity ship, that's all

Unzen's isn't like glass cannon bad

[void turret]

why does ark royal have an aa stat? she can't even equip aa

[cobalt rapids]

so she doesnt get oneshot by planes crashing into her

[whole crypt]

AA is used in incoming AVI damage calcs, all carriers have AA regardless of AA slot

there are also other ships that have no AA gun slot that have AA stat

[void turret]

ohhh

[worldly pewter]

i changed the submarine ship order and suddenly now they refuse to automatically get called in the fight and i had to manually tap their button did i change something without noticing ?

[viscid swift]

check your settings

[worldly pewter]

oh

yeah it seems like it changed automatically to standby
i m 100% that i didn't touch it

[forest palm]

if it still fails you have to manually turn auto call on, meaning turning auto search off

once that's done though you're basically good to go

[worldly pewter]

i changed it to auto call now then i went to change the formation again and went back it didn't change to standby
this is a little bit weird but i think i know what to do at least now when i see them not getting called in the fights

[forest palm]

Just to make it clear you want this to be on

[sharp socket]

finished pr4 research catchup, do i do pr2 for fdg now

or stay at pr4 until i get avp or whoever else i need

i can dev quite a few ships now but not the germans yet

[blissful hamlet]

develop fdp and coin her

[topaz smelt]

research pr4. do fdg and coin her

[worldly pewter]

how can i see how the affection is affecting the ship ?

exp gained and stats

[wind hazel]

idk about exp but you can click on their affection on your dock and it will show the buff

you'll see something like this

this is oath+200 affinity

[worldly pewter]

12%

[forest palm]

1.12x more stats which is very 🤏

[undone plover]

yeah it only affects the base stats not with gear

[forest palm]

even then it's still sizable enough from a min/max perspective, but on a general level you won't notice the extra .06x stats from oath

[south sequoia]

The oath only becomes notable due to the reload stats, and thats only sometimes

[eager mulch]

oathing for cv sync

[forest palm]

that's an all or nothing type deal right there

[south sequoia]

Oath one cv and you have to break your back trying to fix sync

[hushed cliff]

Is Marco better at mobbing or boss? Or can she just do whatever

having trouble deciding which of my fleets she should flag in

[forest palm]

she'll fit in well into mob

[tired stream]

im trying to lethal 3* 15-3 and i get down to the last mob and 2nd boss with 0 ammo on subs and mob fleet. my boss fleet wasn't able to clear the last mob fleet but I know it can clear the 2nd boss. is there any way i can rearrange my fighting order to clear? im using the /98 team with u556 meta, flasher, leo on the w15 command only missing +13 auxes and 100mm on laffey

[sinful elk]

Chat should i get this

Or this?

[viscid swift]

do you have any Ju-87ds

[sinful elk]

I don't even have german planes

[viscid swift]

a few Ju-87ds first then

[sinful elk]

Why though?

[viscid swift]

one of the 3 best converging TBs, you'll likely be using a few on your CVs for bossing

[sinful elk]

I can afford ryusei though

Isnt it the best?

[viscid swift]

Ju-87ds and Ryuuseis are timing sidegrades

[sinful elk]

[eternal moth]

Technically Ju-87d is slightly better due to having a different release pattern

[viscid swift]

whichever one fits your timing needs the best is best

[eternal moth]

Ryusei is slightly more damage if everything connects, though

[sweet delta]

Who died and what type of enemy mob was it? Did you put cats?

[lament hazel]

Where is the best squad that I can safely put my Laffey II here?

(Maybe it is time for the Thighs Queen Duo to have their retirement?)

[viscid swift]

you don't exactly need Laffey 2 but please use Kazagumo in fleet 4

also use Laffey 2 or Kronshtadt in place of Ryza or Rikka in the mob fleet

[lament hazel]

Hmmmm... Ok

why Kazagumo tho? what makes me...

"Ooooh... Imma gonna use her"

[viscid swift]

she's an ARA(buffs the damage of your carriers by 15%) that's also IJN to proc Shinano's buffs for IJN CVs

and while you're at it Sirius in place of San Diego

[lament hazel]

He? Oh ok...

[sweet delta]

35%+ buff to the CVs

[sullen creek]

Random but is this about Soyuz?

[rain vine]

im assuming sirius

[frank pulsar]

do stat buffs scale off base stats or do stats from auxes get considered as well

[humble vessel]

Is the +3% dmg for opsi only?

[viscid swift]

yes

[plain saffron]

Siren only and in op siren only

<insert image from the tutorial here>

[sweet delta]

Kazagumo being the third ijn

[sullen creek]

Makes sense

[plain saffron]

[sharp token]

where i can get those planes, can't craft even the purple

[viscid swift]

Iron Blood techboxes

[pastel tinsel]

When Nep collab return? >_>;

[viscid swift]

who knows, probably never at this point given it's been 6 years

[pastel tinsel]

seriously? ugh..

[soft raft]

Hyperniche franchise + absolute dogshit units, wouldnt be surprised if that gets passed over basically everytime

We've only had two collab reruns and they've both kinda been flops in terms of profits so who knows if they'll ever do another collab rerun

[inland juniper]

I wanna use the 3 dragon sisters in a fleet for general mobclear (up to W13 tier content ig), are there any main fleet ships I should look at that work well with them? I have basically every ship in the game. Could just slap a bunch of URs but wondering if theres any ships that have interesting interactions with them or something.

[viscid swift]

dragon sisters?

[soft raft]

the DDGs?
That'd be quite the squishy vanguard

[inland juniper]

Uhhh ping ning and yat

[soft raft]

oh the china wall

[inland juniper]

Yeah them. I used them way back but havent touched them since like the release of W13

[soft raft]

China wall has become a bit less of a meme now that Yat Sen's retrofit lets her get her tank bonus from being with other DE ships

but I wouldnt really reccomend it for late campaign progression

[sweet delta]

Unicorn

[viscid swift]

I have no idea what general mob clear is but if you're farming content where the comp is largely irrelevant just run ships that need XP/levels

[inland juniper]

Ive already 3*d everything in the story, just mean for general use in like events or something. Coin farming w13 and such.

[atomic abyss]

Collabs don't have a regular rerun schedule so yeah
In the case of nep, don't get ya hopes up
None of the super old collabs have rerun

[pastel tinsel]

oh ._.

[silver lintel]

Me still coping with no goldburn 💀

[sweet delta]

Yat-sen, sandy, and one hai is one of the best chapter 15 mob vanguards, so of course they will work for chapter 13 with unicorn and anyone. But I would rather put ships who need exp if just farming easy content like 13

[inland juniper]

Welp, figured as much. Was mainly wondering if there were any main fleet ships that did stuff with dragon empire vanguards that I was overlooking but ig not. Sometimes I really wish there was more variety to what you could run for some of the content in this game.

[soft raft]

there's like Hua Chang ig who requires a DE ship but that's kinda it outside of DE ships being buffed by Chang Chun

[inland juniper]

RIP, well thanks anyways guys 👍

[viscid swift]

TBF, most of them are kinda off the table anyway
Hololive because well CN
Kizuna Ai is on indefinite Haitus
and Utawerrmmmo never even made it to EN

[forest palm]

Kizuna Ai is likely never happening again

[viscid swift]

Yep

[forest palm]

Utaware could happen again

[drifting pecan]

is there any ship that can change or covering brest role at w15 fleet?

didn't fully build brest

[viscid swift]

Anchorage indirectly

[drifting pecan]

aight, thanks

[misty tree]

Am i missing alot if i cant clear Hard Harbinger?

[plain saffron]

Not much

Just vouchers mostly

[misty tree]

Does it have UR design plans?

[soft raft]

If it didm, he wouldnt have said "Not much" because UR design plans are relatively huge for how little you get per month

[forest palm]

after 25% you're not missing much at all

so if you absolutely can't kill just aim for 25%

[misty tree]

Got it to like 38%

[gusty olive]

Me when no rainbow ordinance:

[forest palm]

is what it is, go cry in #game-feedback

[orchid zealot]

I can put about 100 blueprints into either fdg or agir, any recommendations

[strong tartan]

agir, FDG is coinable

[soft raft]

if you're talking about the DR Blanks, use those on the highest season it goes up to

FdG is coinable anywyas

[strong tartan]

that too

[orchid zealot]

Ahh okay

[low juniper]

Is it possible to retire PR/DR ships? If so, what happens if you do?

[still gate]

Can anyone explain me next event? The said that only Rodney, Queen Elizabeth, Helena, Kimberly, and Hatakaze can be used in certain event stages or what?

[strong tartan]

No

[soft raft]

Not possible

[low juniper]

So they take up permanent dock space?

[soft raft]

CTA is Call To Arms
Which is basically a 1 week "Prep Phase" before a major event releases
the CTA event itself gives a few select ships bonus XP on sortie and then during the event itself, said ships qualify for missions to contribute points towards the event's chat frame

[strong tartan]

yeah

[low juniper]

That's annoying

[strong tartan]

I mean you grinded for them lol idk what you expected

[low juniper]

Why not have them not count since you can't get rid of them

[still gate]

So using those ships mentioned will give extra rewards in event stages?

[strong tartan]

you should've expected them to not be retirable

[unreal solstice]

how to use oil fast I cant claim rewards that has oil inside

[strong tartan]

buy dorm food

[tiny kettle]

is the ur event on 17th or 21st?

[orchid zealot]

The US wants to know your location

[strong tartan]

livestream 17th

[soft raft]

No
They only have a bonus to their individual XP gain, they do not affect event rewards otherwise

[strong tartan]

event should be next Thursday

[tiny kettle]

alright, thanks

[still gate]

So they just give extra xp to some random ships and it has nothing to do with event right?

[orchid zealot]

So how does Bismarck zwei work in OS, does she support alll the fleets?

[soft raft]

the lineup vaugely gives clues related to factions and/or individual ships involved in the event story but you can go speculate on that in #al-lore

[soft raft]

if you mean her cross fleet effect, it's simple as it does its thing in any fleet that Bismarck Zwei herself is not in

/crossfleet for more info

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Cross-fleet_Effects.jpeg

[orchid zealot]

Yea that’s what I meant, that’s pretty neat, I assume that also works the same way for all cross fleet effects?

[soft raft]

Yes

[still gate]

Another question. People in this channel who are 24/7 online. What do you do for living?

[atomic abyss]

Uh

[strong tartan]

normal things

[atomic abyss]

Ask that of the folks in gen

Thanks

[vale spindle]

I stopped becoming online as often due to having a life so it eventually claims us all dont worry

[lone vigil]

Got dido u and tallinn are they any good?

[viscid swift]

No, maybe depending on your roster

[plain saffron]

I don't do anything when i was online

[lament hazel]

In General, I heard people say Soyuz is trash and then someone replied with Hidenburg is trash

which of their opinion is true, META wise

[vale spindle]

neither

[soft raft]

The hell were they smoking because that is very far from the truth

[vale spindle]

general hates ships whilst factoring in appearance, va, and/or artists

we don't do that here and neither do majority of the prominent tierlists / resources

[atomic abyss]

I mean trusting general to give you sound advice isn't exactly recommended

[lament hazel]

hmmm... noted

[strong tartan]

I wasn't being serious lol

Soyuz is very good don't take advice from people in general

[lament hazel]

oh ok noted

[sullen creek]

I shut them up so dw

[lament hazel]

holy sh

[sweet delta]

Datamine 5/16
Enigmata D: purple aux, 500 HP, plays a sound effect every 10 seconds
(End Datamine)

[sullen creek]

Too op

[gusty olive]

The fu-

[atomic abyss]

They couldn't even make it 550

[strong tartan]

does the sound do anything even

it's purple so

[gusty olive]

pain...

[vagrant panther]

Would a prototype triple 203/55 be better on Unzen or Drake?

Or should I not even bother with drake.

[sweet delta]

drake doesn't want prototype triple 203/55

[vagrant panther]

On ECTL it does say it works with her ammo changing skill and is an option

shrug I'll probably just craft a twin 234 then. She won't replace Unzen in my main team anytime soon.

[sweet delta]

I thought of the wrong gun, then drake does want Unzen gun and Unzen gun is the best gun for drake but Unzen is just superior to drake as a ship

[eternal moth]

Any info on the new aux from the coming event?

[sweet delta]

.

pin pls

[vagrant panther]

Yeah, the only fact that Unzen gets more mileage than drake is why I'm a little torn.
Then again, drake might be perma benched when I finally have Hindenburg at dev30 so not that keen on splitting hairs that much over it now

[sweet delta]

Hindenburg is a strict upgrade to Drake. Unzen is a strict upgrade to Drake. You rarely want to use two dps CAs at once. Hence, Unzen benches Drek.

[forest palm]

I still use Drake, that's mostly because I don't like changing gear

[whole jolt]

How many bulins do i need to fully lb a UR ship

[sweet delta]

4 or fewer if you get dupes

[forest palm]

4, always 4

[whole jolt]

Okay!

[fervent hearth]

play azur

[blissful hamlet]

is datamine up?

is that it only music

[sullen creek]

But people here say Hindenburg is the highest damage vanguard in the game so she's a strict upgrade to Unzen

[slow fox]

Argument void because she has less than 120% eHP

[sullen creek]

: (

[sweet delta]

people are wrong

[inland shoal]

Also Hindy has no cf

[sullen creek]

: )

[slow fox]

Cate Fimulation

[steady beacon]

Out of curiosity, what is the highest damage vanguard with >120% eHP?

[slow fox]

Why are you asking me about something that does not concern eHP

I'm going to cry

[keen sable]

brand destroyed

[topaz smelt]

smh fake gpt cant analyze damage numbers

[steady beacon]

Ngl, has it ever been uh
Considered
Expanding into that realm

Since all the DPS charts one can find usually has some flaw to them

[blissful hamlet]

someone should make eDPS

[topaz smelt]

with all charts, its only consistent to 1 specific content

[slow fox]

Geometric hitrate is huge problem with that. I can probably get really good numbers on total output, but total output means almost nothing without context like "how does the enemy move" or "how far are they away."

[topaz smelt]

just assume they dont move

[slow fox]

Also assume 200 units away?

[topaz smelt]

assuming ramming for maximum dps

[slow fox]

Kron, Guam, Anchorage, Voroshilov, Otto, Laffey II, Felix, Jervis, Chinawall(?????)

Tallinn?

[sullen creek]

Felix

[slow fox]

I just listed 120+ ships, don't quote me.

[blissful hamlet]

Anchorage

[topaz smelt]

dps doesnt have much value to how this game works anyways

[steady beacon]

That is indeed true

[blissful hamlet]

does this mean eugen good?

[slow fox]

[sullen creek]

Eugen muse good

[wind hazel]

not even 120% noob ship

[topaz smelt]

i said dps doesnt have value not doing damage doesnt have value

[blissful hamlet]

I thought she would be higher lol

[slow fox]

soon

[blissful hamlet]

:god:

[topaz smelt]

you mean agir and little agir?

[blissful hamlet]

would little agir be better than eugen

[slow fox]

Little Agir probably 98%

[blissful hamlet]

[topaz smelt]

im not really a fan of eugen muse

her skills seem pretty fake

[sullen creek]

I'll let you know how she does

[inland shoal]

Temporal hit rate too tbh

[unreal solstice]

Is shinano good? My only UR

[wet prairie]

if you can afford to build her yes

[fresh tangle]

Got ambushed by maintenance. Sad 😭 need my last little grind for event ship

[topaz smelt]

if shes mlb yes

[strong tartan]

one of the best cvs at max limit break

[steady beacon]

If it's Spee, you still have until the 20th

[winter condor]

with kron i get good dmg even after the changes on my fleet even mainz stays behind

about hindy if u have agir hyndi Emden yes is the strongest dps vanguard ONLY if u have them well equiped / maxed

(agir doesn't do too much dmg tho is more hyndi emden thing)

[fresh tangle]

Yeah trying to get it out of the way asap so I can get back to focusing on Portland retrofit

[atomic abyss]

I mean yeah Mainz shouldn't be doing that much

[silver lintel]

Strongest dps vg should be ply hindy unzen

Not counting torp meme

[steady beacon]

I'm very much counting it

[gloomy mesa]

Dude how Long do these updates take!?

8h!?

[wet prairie]

thats normal

[steady beacon]

Generally updates before a "big" event are 8h
Small updates (dead weeks and most preludes) are 6h
This time, it's a "mandatory" update, so 8

[jovial carbon]

Small indie company

[vale spindle]

#game-news read the patch notes

[winter condor]

also we are going to have now the base files for the 3d stuff

[plain saffron]

depends if they do same thing as CN or not

in CN it was in APK but deleted on ingame download

[half plover]

is the game still under maintenance?

because it says there is a new update but there isnt

[plain saffron]

clear play store cache

[steady beacon]

Yep, in theory for another uh
4 and a half hours

[tame jungle]

Game is under maintenance, refer to #game-news

[plain saffron]

google play store still shit even with all the money

[half plover]

ty

app store > google play sry for abusing this channel for random talk during maintenance

[crisp estuary]

It's maintenance?

[tame jungle]

Come on man

[crisp estuary]

I just got here. Nvm

[tame jungle]

It’s ok

[crisp estuary]

Oh I thought the new UR was coming. Nvm. I'll wait for next week

[round hare]

What am i supposed to update💀

Didnt we just had a maintenance not long ago

[tame jungle]

It’s like weekly dude

[plain saffron]

wait for app store to release the update first

[tame jungle]

Store update should be live now, just look up Azur Lane and update from there. After that there’s probably also download in game

[round hare]

I thought we had one this Monday?

[round hare]

Its not, i guess it will be up after full maintenance

[plain saffron]

no 7 days ago is not monday

i know i'm late but
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aJgVACHclYR5eE9CmjOkDsdgwNoQ-v037h8qmau9mz8/edit?usp=sharing

[late flame]

what did the fox say vibes

[round hare]

Weird D equipment

[wind hazel]

dingdingding bangbangbang wtf

[jaunty vault]

@inner delta

[round hare]

Imagine devs added troll files to troll dataminers

[plain saffron]

what is the other event this patch?

[jaunty vault]

double pin for same datamine lesgoo

[whole crypt]

[round hare]

They removed turt one

[jaunty vault]

thorin did you open and read the spreadsheet

[wind hazel]

long island skin i guess

[plain saffron]

ouh so that's the other story

[late flame]

or devs being fans of that song which came out like 10 years ago? Dang i feel old

[jaunty vault]

nvm its im the embed too

[cobalt rapids]

wtf

[jaunty vault]

that doesn't look appropriate

[late flame]

its a literal translation from chinese yes

[plain saffron]

if you have any complain bring it to devs

[gusty olive]

I can hear it

[wind hazel]

maybe best just edit to papapa, i can already hear the memes writing itself

[whole crypt]

what broke the devs

[white wave]

how to play

[plain saffron]

the whale

[tame jungle]

Get updated get updated get updated!

[plain saffron]

step 1) wait until maintenance is done

[gusty olive]

What the fuck is that?

[inland shoal]

Idk if "weird equipment" is rly better than "enigmatic"

[late flame]

in before someone launches gaem and causes extended maint

[gusty olive]

Chess or literally any board game variant tutorial?

[whole crypt]

let me see if NGA has anything to say about this...

[plain saffron]

uhh complain to the TLer

[tame jungle]

Kinda sad that it just seems to be another toolbox sidegrade lol

[wind hazel]

yeah ,see

[jaunty vault]

the memes

[wet prairie]

devs have gone insane

[late flame]

Would be funny if that item is shaped like - uh nevermind

[plain saffron]

anything sounds like that to that type of people(me)

[tame jungle]

A fish!

[plain saffron]

ouh no img, it's an orca plushie

[wet prairie]

fish.png

[inner delta]

[wet prairie]

do we have the sound file?

[plain saffron]

uhh let me see

[wet prairie]

how does that sound like this

[inner delta]

does that matter

[plain saffron]

thorin what are you typing

[gusty olive]

understood, engaging the target

[plain saffron]

this is the aux

[cobalt rapids]

cute

[inner delta]

o right forgot, thorin if anyone start memeing you have permission to take people ability to chat fully until maint is done (this include extension) including "let me in"

[jaunty vault]

he wants to know if it sounds like the meme

[verbal thistle]

Is the game down or smth? LDPlayer's being weird

[south sequoia]

Does the soundwaves from the orca actually do anything or is it just some sort of semi-music aux

[south sequoia]

It's under maintenance

[cobalt rapids]

its in maintenance

[verbal thistle]

Ah, that explains it. Thanks.

[worldly pewter]

in japanese it is strange or weird

[late flame]

what did the fox orca say

[south sequoia]

so a worse toolbox that transmits signals

[worldly pewter]

this is chinese

[tame jungle]

Funny fish

I wonder if it would do anything on miss d (if she were playable)

[whole crypt]

I'd probably say eccentric

[wind hazel]

am chinese, can confirm qi guai means odd/strange

[whole crypt]

well by looking at the name alone I'd probably translate it as strange device D

[astral turret]

Is it supposed to get stuck here after updating? I can't even get to the normal "under maintenance" screen

[wind hazel]

wait for the 13gb to go live

[whole crypt]

is 13GB an apple thing, both my phone and bluestacks only did 10.7

[worldly pewter]

i think they always overshoot the amount a little bit

they said 2 GB for the apk and it is 1,39 for me

[whole crypt]

fruit client is actually bigger than android

my phone's client update was 1.1G, didn't check how much it asked for on emu

[plain saffron]

it was always like that for all game i think?

[steady beacon]

Huh, sounds like a sonar ping 👀
Interesting...

[worldly pewter]

it is 10.7 for me too

but they also gave me something before it that has around 1 GB about live 2D and coma stuff

[whole crypt]

consistency

yeh you can check whether to download the assets together and not do it after you enter the game

at least Anchorage's snowglobe had visual feedback the D thing's sound doesn't do anything for me on mute

[worldly pewter]

i should have done that since my net is snail speed and probably will be pinched around reset time

[whole crypt]

you should have unchecked them, but that's just saving 1GB of download you'll need to do later

[worldly pewter]

1 GB is 15 min

[dawn hamlet]

does the pity on event banner carry?

[steady beacon]

Nope

[dawn hamlet]

oh, so it's either 400 or nothing?

[worldly pewter]

isn't this an SR banner and not UR ?

[plain saffron]

there isn't any banner

[whole crypt]

banner is next week and should be UR

are they really moving things to a Tuesday schedule

[dawn hamlet]

oh so it's a new patch with new event but the new banner is coming later? interesting

[worldly pewter]

there should be another maint before the anni event

[whole crypt]

how new are you, there's always a prelude and "call to arms" event before the main event with the banner for major events

[dawn hamlet]

I'm 3 days in, started with no events xD

[plain saffron]

prob just because it's exactly the anni day

[eternal basalt]

The exact anni is 25, tuesday is 21

[plain saffron]

wait i'm dumb

[worldly pewter]

i heard someone betting on it being on the 23rd ( although they never did it on that day in the past ) about deleting all of his 125 characters if it is wrong

[whole crypt]

this is why I never say I'm sure of anything that's not announced

[plain saffron]

they added a logjn thingy

[worldly pewter]

in the cn server ?

[whole crypt]

JP and likely will be on EN, for the renewed yostar account thing

[plain saffron]

CN

[fluid brook]

Servers are in maint?

[plain saffron]

so yeah likely on 21

[whole crypt]

well nagami I'd like to point out you could also just check the CTA dates on patch notes...

[plain saffron]

i'm just reinforcing this smh

[jaunty vault]

[eternal basalt]

liner? cruise?

[whole crypt]

that was for before we had the CTA dates, I only say likely on the 23rd, but I would be fairly sure that it'll be that week regardless

now that we have the CTA dates

[rapid grail]

good morning how is maint crumbs

[fluid brook]

i believe servers are up r?

[rapid grail]

new orca gear or smth good?

[dawn hamlet]

it's already up? just asking

[forest palm]

hm...anyone else just getting loading when launching the app

[fluid brook]

i dont see the event thing for maint, and games not loading

[dawn hamlet]

[undone plover]

have we ever had an event end before a maintenance?
cuz lil spee event ends on 21st, what happens if there is no maintenance?

[forest palm]

we've had a few like those, you just get a small in-app update, and then it's gone

[eternal basalt]

But we have maint then

[eternal basalt]

No, it ends, no update

[forest palm]

that's not what they're asking...

or at least I remember a small update being pushed w/e they end those types

[fluid brook]

Just say if we are right now in maint or not

[silk sphinx]

Not Thursday?

[cobalt rapids]

we are in maint

[maiden dock]

is this normal or is my game broken?

[silk sphinx]

I mean, next week update

[shell oak]

Oh, no wonder it's just loading and loading.

[cobalt rapids]

wait for maint to finish

[fluid brook]

thank you

[silk sphinx]

Maintenance rn

[main latch]

how long till its done ?

[wind hazel]

3hrs

maintenance ends <t:1715871600:T>
*subject to real life RNG

[steady beacon]

*If all goes well 🤞

Stuff has already started breaking in JP

[forest palm]

just hope we don't get a repeat of Microlayer

[eternal basalt]

Well they have 3 hours

[plain saffron]

[sharp socket]

gacha UR will be available after maint right

[eternal basalt]

[eternal basalt]

Apperenly its up for Apple

[tame jungle]

i'll keep you updated my game's about to be done loading (less than 800 files)

[tranquil saffron]

My game refuses to load and from reading above am I going to have to do the like 6 hours reinstall of AL?

[tame jungle]

no need probably

[plain saffron]

i'm not rich to use apple

huh so EN also get the liner event?

[whole crypt]

just buy a rog8 ultimate

[tame jungle]

i'm not rich either my phone's 6 years old

[plain saffron]

and yes that's from EN android assets

[blazing shale]

whats the liner event?

[eternal basalt]

When the files drop, yes

[plain saffron]

it already dropped

[tranquil saffron]

My day is ruined 🥲

[plain saffron]

what doubt i shown you the proof

i guess it depends on region?

[tranquil saffron]

it was a 6 hour reinstall with 200 mbps speed and my internet is currently like 60-70 mbps

[eternal basalt]

Still showing nothing on Android

[tranquil saffron]

I got a 1.4 GB update on QooApp

[ember totem]

I only completed the mandatory update on Android so far but nothing in-game at the moment

[plain saffron]

wtf

[ember totem]

Been stuck at 'Loading game...' forever

[eternal basalt]

Was 1.1 for me, but that's just the app

[tame jungle]

android seems to be having issues

[ember totem]

operating system issue smh

[tame jungle]

just buy apple

[tranquil saffron]

Never!

[tame jungle]

:3

[ember totem]

propaganda from big apple

[tranquil saffron]

I hate Microsoft but not as much as apple

[plain saffron]

damn idk donut store have that much power

[tranquil saffron]

Apple products are only simple and easier to use if you've always used apple.

[worldly pewter]

doing the update or reinstalling the game should be the same anyway

[tranquil saffron]

What do you mean?

[hollow gust]

, mines a 2 minute update

[plain saffron]

you don't need to reinstall, just download straight

update play store > update ingame

[worldly pewter]

it is the same because it is a 11.5GB update at least

[empty grove]

the game didn't load after the update and when I tried reinstalling this pops up

[plain saffron]

wait a bit longer

then try again later

[astral turret]

There's known issues with android, Twitter is all saying the same thing. Will be fixed at some point, still 2 hours of maintenance left

[empty grove]

okayokay 🙏

[cloud linden]

Good thing I checked here. I have the same issue

[eternal basalt]

Well, no patchfiles is hardly our fault

[bold mason]

My game is stuck on loading game after the update now any tips or is it everyone?

[forest palm]

back read

[smoky quest]

Why is the fame stuck on the loading screen

[bold mason]

Okay it's everyone

[deft plume]

Wait so the final size of azur lane after this update is how much?

[eternal basalt]

Same as always

[deft plume]

21gb, got it. Thanks.

[plain saffron]

apparently if you change language to JP you can download it

[deft plume]

trying to figure out if downloading the update will eat up all my space

[blazing shale]

New login screen

[plain saffron]

yeah you need to change to JP language wtf

[wind hazel]

ok so, apparently if you set your phone language to japanese, it will download the 10.9gb preload for you

[blazing shale]

But won't the files also be localized to jp?

[wind hazel]

maybe, and it will probably be fixed again later anyway

[eternal basalt]

Eeh, I'll let them fix it...

[plain saffron]

nope

phone language JP not equal to game client JP

anyway yeah prob wait for new play store update or something

[worldly pewter]

jp supremacy

[deft plume]

But my dallies

[jaunty vault]

what dailies

[worldly pewter]

what if the phone doesn't have the jp language ?

[jaunty vault]

break the phone

[gusty olive]

Is it on the system>languages and input?

[plain saffron]

wait until they fix it

[drifting pecan]

yep, alr try it, its work somehow

[gusty olive]

Using phone btw, not emu so unsure

[drifting pecan]

im using phone rn

[plain saffron]

[dusk maple]

cn language also worked for me

[drifting pecan]

seeing these problem, i think they will extend for one or two

[gusty olive]

So it is system>languages and input?

[drifting pecan]

yes

[plain saffron]

generally yes, depends on device

[silk sphinx]

No problem on apple?

[plain saffron]

nope

[worldly pewter]

we want someone to test with kr now

[vast sparrow]

なにどうしてえ

[worldly pewter]

what is this en discrimination

[vague merlin]

Do I tick the private quarter assets or no?

[vast sparrow]

I forgot switch keyboard

[vast sparrow]

Why is this taking long?

[plain saffron]

use JP language for now

[plain saffron]

up to you, it's the future 3d dorm stuff

[vast sparrow]

During loading screen?

[south sequoia]

Please wait, staff are currently doing their best to fix the issues

[worldly pewter]

3rd floor ?

[plain saffron]

on your phone, before opening. or just wait until they fix it

there's no way they'll leave it like that

[jaunty vault]

3D

[exotic dirge]

Is game working for you ppl? Mine appears to be stuck in the loading screen

[jaunty vault]

maintenance

[worldly pewter]

[novel condor]

[exotic dirge]

aight, thx

[jaunty vault]

[crisp wadi]

The Mt still happening?

[jaunty vault]

yes

[spring scarab]

Is there a stream tomorrow on next upcoming UR??

[silk sphinx]

In an hour and twenty minutes minimum

[plain saffron]

it works wtf

[silk sphinx]

Yes.

[crisp wadi]

So it'll be 10 pm for me then

[silk sphinx]

This is an eight hour maintenance

If you’ve played for a while you should be used to those

[gusty olive]

Aight it works

But my phone is now in moonrunes

Now, what if I switch back to EN while the files are downloading

[blissful hamlet]

when is the time?

[silk sphinx]

Check discord events

[crisp wadi]

Do the language prob things will get fixed or I must use the device language change to jp?

[worldly pewter]

en being hard discriminated now don't do it

[blissful hamlet]

[worldly pewter]

depends on many factors
ur internet speed mainly and ur sleeping time and gaming routing schedule

[plain saffron]

it's not the downloading, it's the game crashes when not on JP/KR/CN

[forest palm]

indie company moment

[gusty olive]

Guess I'll download it all night

[crisp wadi]

Nah, I'll se tomorrow. Is too late at my time zone. Coping en will get fixed

[sinful elk]

Did the game reset or sth why would it ask us to update by appstore

[worldly pewter]

are u new to the mobile game world ?

[sinful elk]

Yes

[plain saffron]

because there's a huge/major/idk how else to name it update

[elfin hollow]

Guys did someone open the game yet?

I can not open it

[plain saffron]

usually game update on play store, but some games like to make it not use play store for convinience. but sometimes you can't do that so need play store update

[worldly pewter]

the frequency of the devs updating the apk varies from a game to another
AL is one of the least frequent to do it as far as i m seeing for 5 months now

[sinful elk]

Huge update i guess?

[plain saffron]

yeah

[worldly pewter]

yeah massive expect 11GB at least

[sinful elk]

Wwhat the hell bro

[plain saffron]

it's an engine/framework/unity version upgrade

[sinful elk]

I think my phone aint holding more

[shrewd spear]

is there a googledocs/website for the newest comps so far?

[crisp wadi]

Didn't it count redownload rather than update cmiiw

[plain saffron]

also CN said the game smoother so try it i guess

[plain saffron]

yeah it is redownloading the files because it changed format

[worldly pewter]

it should be fine

[plain saffron]

so the sizes stays mostly

[pastel tinsel]

wait it's maintence?

[crisp wadi]

One last question, is there any official statement about the download problems things ?

[plain saffron]

not yet

[pastel tinsel]

oh

[plain saffron]

but it's supposed to be still in maint anyway so

[gusty olive]

Is it fine to just download the files then change back to EN then wait for the fix?

[plain saffron]

or just wait for fix, up to you

[gusty olive]

If yes, do I have to redownload everything?

[plain saffron]

hard to say

[gusty olive]

Cus I already started the download

[worldly pewter]

unless u test for us

[plain saffron]

i download rn so i can play immideately(hopefully)

[worldly pewter]

it should be ok TBH
in the past there was an issue in arknight with ldplayer in which we had to reduce the core count to 2 in order for the update to work then when u switch it back to 4 cores after the update it works fin

[plain saffron]

but that and this are not same issues

[worldly pewter]

they look similar enough imo

[gusty olive]

I'mma risk it ig, since I can't download the patch immediately tmr

We better get more apologems lol

[plain saffron]

for one, that's ldplayer only from what i read what you said, this is all android

[worldly pewter]

u wish

[worldly pewter]

this is a cn game not jp also the issue only arose in the en side

also it happened before the maint ended

[gusty olive]

We're getting pruned

[steady beacon]

Newest comps for... what content?
Or do you just mean like a general tierlist or something?

[shrewd spear]

yes. for like latest chapter comps, i have an old sheet. dunno if it's still relevent.

[cobalt rapids]

#bot-spam /w15

[steady beacon]

Damn, Yamato gun was used in W15 campaign comps? 👀

CN, as always, ultra cooking huh

[cobalt rapids]

comps look weird

no asw for one, except hammii ghost but cert makes it look like 3* lethal fleets so is boss supposed to fight all recon or what

idk weird either way

[south sequoia]

that comp also is probably outdated

no presence of laffey and guam, no gold asw plane

[worldly pewter]

looks very outdated

[shrewd spear]

gotcha. thanks guys i'll throw it away

[steady beacon]

Ye, just do as Ren said and look for the W15 comps in botspam...
Bc that cook looks more like a cooked goose

[shrewd spear]

lol. gotcha. thanks again!

[red stirrup]

this updt is going to have several RN ships gain extra xp right?

[steady beacon]

Rodney, QE, Helena, Kimberly, Hatakaze

[red stirrup]

sweet, thanks 🙂

[grizzled inlet]

Guys i need to reinstall the game in order to get update?

[eternal basalt]

NO

[sinful elk]

I think you just need to wait though i got this

Insane update..

[grizzled inlet]

Wait this is u reinstalled the game or this is update

[plain saffron]

major update usually like that yes

[steep merlin]

When will maintenance end?

[sinful elk]

Update

[grizzled inlet]

13gb is unreal

[plain saffron]

because it replaces almost(?) all the files

[strong tartan]

Is it possible to let it download in the background while you sleep I don't want my phone to shit itself

[sinful elk]

Dear god

[plain saffron]

it have bg download yes

[steep merlin]

It is u can leave it in the bg

[sinful elk]

For hours?

[strong tartan]

even if my phone is turned off? I'm guessing no

[plain saffron]

as long as your phone didn't kill the app

[plain saffron]

that's what bg means

[sinful elk]

I think my battery will do that automaticly upon reaching 20%

[strong tartan]

oh apologies

[steep merlin]

.

[soft raft]

just plug your phone to the charger bro

[sinful elk]

For me, 30 min left

[steep merlin]

Oke ty

[strong tartan]

last time I did that my phone was on fire

[sinful elk]

It is still bg download yes?

[tranquil saffron]

I'm going to be playing this update tomorrow morning fml😭

[plain saffron]

yes because it gets heat from charging and running the game in bg at same time
