[stray vigil]

Mine is stuck like this

[sinful elk]

CN racism to EN is real...

[stray vigil]

Nothing, not even an update prompt

[sinful elk]

Try to update in your device store service

Manually

[plain saffron]

the game is bugged rn, wait a bit more

[grizzled inlet]

All MF got updated game but mine still wasnt

[plain saffron]

in play store? clear play store cache

[vagrant panther]

Will probably just go to sleep and wake up to see it fixed, and have the new event ready or something

[stray vigil]

Rip my dailes then...

[eternal basalt]

New event tuesday, looooong sleep

[vagrant panther]

Eh thought it was Friday for event + UR?

[plain saffron]

friday is stream

[cobalt rapids]

game is still in maintenance anyway

[strong tartan]

that's the livestream

[plain saffron]

it's only been 5h since daily reset

[crisp estuary]

[vagrant panther]

Dang. Ok no sleep it is

[plain saffron]

wait fuck, 7h

[eternal basalt]

7.5h, maint is supposed 8h

[grizzled inlet]

Wait MF told me change the langue JP to update game

[cobalt rapids]

just wait

[steep merlin]

I did it and it worked

[grizzled inlet]

Is 10gb update

[plain saffron]

you can do it or wait up to you

[grizzled inlet]

Ill wait

[steep merlin]

13 gb

[gloomy mesa]

Only 30 min to go, more or less

[grizzled inlet]

But my phone gonna pass out if is a 10gb

[steep merlin]

good, this event is not the one with the new UR right?

[grizzled inlet]

16gb + 13gb is nearly as genshin

[eternal basalt]

UR tuesday

[eternal basalt]

16 + 13 ?

[worldly pewter]

it will replace the current assets not add new ones

[grizzled inlet]

Oh

[gloomy mesa]

Brother what are you talking about, this game takes about 14.5gb on my phone

[grizzled inlet]

Idk somehow it take 16

[worldly pewter]

usually size varies depending on the phone and cache

[feral ermine]

true true

[eternal basalt]

And what you dl

[gloomy mesa]

But All together I'm impressed by people who are willing to sacrifice 20+GB for a game

[blissful hamlet]

Should I really change my phone to jp to get predownload? Will it cause any issue?

[gloomy mesa]

They definitely made the better choice of getting a Phone with 248gb space

[plain saffron]

am i the only one that think 10+ is standard for mobile game nowadays

[gloomy mesa]

I agree, but anything that's like 20gb is absurd

[plain saffron]

AL doesn't reach 20gb though

unless you mean other bigger game

[gloomy mesa]

Other games like genshin

[plain saffron]

well no shit, you have a whole fucking world in there

[feral ermine]

genshin its open world game , different like azur lane

[plain saffron]

literally PC tier game in phone

[viscid swift]

to #game-feedback or #al-generalor #off-topic this goes

[gloomy mesa]

Sorry

[knotty dome]

i usually get like a pre-download when the servers are down for maint, rn it just says loading game... forever. is that normal?

ty

[grizzled inlet]

Idk

[plain saffron]

something2 game broke and only works on CN/KR language so wait until it's fixed

[icy mountain]

bro, i thought the maintenance was supposed to be 1 hour? 💀

[cobalt rapids]

8

[kindred arrow]

literally said it was gonna be 8 hours in the notice they sent

[eternal basalt]

15m (total 8h)

[icy mountain]

oh okay

[harsh cargo]

Damn why is this update 1gb

[plain saffron]

there's another 10 ingame

[harsh cargo]

Oh holy shit

[plain saffron]

there's a reason why it's mandatory

[grizzled inlet]

Cant wait to see what new UR

[eternal basalt]

Tommorrow

[grizzled inlet]

I hope my game doesnt corrupt

[gloomy mesa]

She worth pulling for? Asking as someone who only just hit w8

[silk sphinx]

We know literally nothing about said UR

[soft raft]

we literally have no clue who it's gonna be but the general rule of thumb is that gacha URs are always worth going for

[ember totem]

She's not even revealed yet but most likely they will be worth pulling for based on gacha UR history

[silk sphinx]

Well, except that they’re probably French

[gloomy mesa]

Well not like I have enough cubes anyway

[silk sphinx]

Wait till uh next Tuesday for datamine

[gloomy mesa]

Data mine?

[plain saffron]

where people mine data and get full stats skills etc

[gloomy mesa]

When do I unlock that?

[rapid moth]

You wait for the chinese client to be updated, then extract those files.

[gloomy mesa]

Lol

[inner citrus]

It wouldn't even let me at least download?

[soft raft]

#gameplay-help message

[eternal basalt]

2h extension

[inner citrus]

I know it's maint, but this is not how it usually is

[soft raft]

yeah read the message I linked

[inner citrus]

So EN client fked rn

[plain saffron]

You don't need to do it, someone will

[undone plover]

[blissful hamlet]

[obtuse knoll]

[inner citrus]

Just our end

[rapid moth]

[icy mountain]

[sudden briar]

Oh okay

[blissful hamlet]

[plain saffron]

[grizzled inlet]

Wat?

[eternal basalt]

[grizzled inlet]

Oh they talk about it in X

[elfin hollow]

this game constantly maintenance every week, can I play like 1 month straight?

[viscid swift]

no

[crisp estuary]

Aesthetic gives me USN vibes with the retro future look

[viscid swift]

who said it was a sub

[eternal basalt]

D, a Siren, not sub

[crisp estuary]

Huh

[plain saffron]

prob not even a siren

[crisp estuary]

Breathing mask and tail skeleton

[eternal basalt]

ANTI-X got sirens...

[viscid swift]

we don't who or what that is at this point, just wait and see

[crisp estuary]

Looks like a retro future looking U-48

[blissful hamlet]

Boise is subs

[uncut drift]

Can anyone log in rn? I'm stuck in loading

[wind hazel]

still under maintenance

[thorny basalt]

Otto von Alvensleben is a sub

[vagrant panther]

Time Extension

[uncut drift]

Alright ty ty

[eternal basalt]

Even if you dl servers down 2h

[meager tangle]

I dead ass thought my game was broken

[fringe burrow]

Extended?

[wind hazel]

yes, until <t:1715878800:R>

[eternal moth]

They ran into a bunch of unexpected animation errors on JP so I'm not surprised

[fringe burrow]

So it's 10 hours

[eternal basalt]

[gloomy mesa]

Fine by me, means a better mail package

[plain saffron]

huh TIL JP have different default bg

[inner delta]

[eternal moth]

Like I said, numerous animation issues following the update

[alpine crest]

Got I hate android sometimes

So there's no way to actually download the update?

[plain saffron]

wait

[eternal moth]

Not until they're ready

[inner delta]

ping me for people who complain so i can mute and play other game

[eternal basalt]

Mute Discord then

[eternal moth]

It's not android in this case, they turned off the update server

[plain saffron]

the update server is on

the game is broken

[inner delta]

that's irrelevant?

[fringe burrow]

Thank goodness I have these people who know about things

[plain saffron]

if you change device language to CN/KR, or somehow have program to download directly from the cdn, you can

[plain saffron]

but it's 11:30pm, i'm going to sleep

[worldly pewter]

this post says that because some environments doesn't fully download the assests they get these issues mentioned above which are the freeze and the rendering errors

[eternal moth]

Yes, so they're most likely going to fix those issues before setting EN live again

[worldly pewter]

the cn side is clean ?

[plain saffron]

CN already had it last week

[eternal basalt]

Following days... eeeeeeeeehm

[eternal moth]

I don't know, I don't watch bilibili

[plain saffron]

they get the mandatory update early by 1 week

beta tested

[eternal basalt]

Still broken

[eternal moth]

I imagine due to the censorship requirements their assets are handled slightly differently, but I don't know.

[inner delta]

it's just errors nothing like that

[young bramble]

is the game still in errors for android?

[whole crypt]

not sure about 3D assets but 2D assets are the same, they just have extra layer for censoring

[plain saffron]

i see them moving some stuff around to new folder and stuff but i'm not a game devs so idk

they're 2 separate assets

[viscid swift]

yes, maintenance extended by 2 hours

[plain saffron]

with _hx at the end of the files, that's also how game decide to show uncensored or censored

[eternal basalt]

(And they break stuff)

[whole crypt]

actually is CN client bigger with 2 sets of assets

[lethal tangle]

so the game black screen is just maintenance not yet done?

[eternal basalt]

We also get censored

[plain saffron]

apparently it's removed some time ago iirc

nvm still there

but not all

[late flame]

spaghetti code banzai

[eternal moth]

🍝

[whole crypt]

so we have censored assets as well?

[plain saffron]

prob the ones in obb

[inner delta]

nagami you said going sleep

[plain saffron]

someone asked a question that i can't help but answer

[eternal basalt]

Before this patch anyways

[whole crypt]

so I should keep asking questions that keep nagami awake?

[worldly pewter]

[plain saffron]

from my files, _hx takes up 351mb

for just painting, not including l2d and entrance/unlock anim

you know what you made me curious i gonna see all of it

496mb

[eternal basalt]

It's all on wiki unless you guys got lazy

[plain saffron]

but that's extracted not actual game file

[inner delta]

no, sleep. So this chat can stop being programming help

[plain saffron]

[inner delta]

or ill make you sleep

[plain saffron]

[worldly pewter]

keep dreaming

[soft raft]

#al-general is that way

[worldly pewter]

wasted 7k on what ?

[eternal basalt]

8k on Eugen?

She's till 20th

[eternal moth]

Anything used on Little Spee is definitely not wasted

[worldly pewter]

but there isn't any dedicated farm for spee

[soft raft]

Little Spee is whatever
and you used that oil to grind so eh doesnt matter

[eternal moth]

Good thing her event isn't over yet

[whole crypt]

you just grind, little spee is a byproduct

[soft raft]

well the shop isnt gone
the stages themselves are

[eternal moth]

Little Spee's event is still going on

[soft raft]

oh that's what you meant

[worldly pewter]

my game skipped the contruction finish animation

[soft raft]

Child ships dont give tech points

[eternal moth]

They give adorable points and that's it

[soft raft]

go farm divergent chessboard if you need IB tech

Yup
Child and Muse ships are the only ship variants that dont give tech points or fleet tech

[eternal moth]

Muse and child ships don't give tech

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology

[ivory linden]

Do muse ships give cdc xp?

[viscid swift]

yes

[soft raft]

they're still part of the same faction as their regular counterparts so yes

Same goes for child ships

[jaunty vault]

nah

[soft raft]

not really
if you manage to get her, neat
if you dont, you're barely missing anything

[eternal moth]

Just grind, she's adorable. You probably need the XP anyways

[whole crypt]

there's still a couple more days, just keep grinding

[late flame]

cope for separate daycare i mean dock space for them

[whole crypt]

if you get her great, if not you're not missing much

[soft raft]

and like you should be doing your regular grind anyways so you dont have to worry too much

[eternal basalt]

Farm while watching livestream

[whole crypt]

just grind normally

and maybe save some oil for event

[still gate]

hello. is the maintenance still on? i have updated the game like 2 hrs ago and since then it just says Loading the game and... nothing

[viscid swift]

yes

[late flame]

#game-news

[still gate]

okay

thanks

[stone sluice]

I released my little spee

[icy scarab]

not sure why i cant load the game after updating it from gplay

[inner delta]

game is not up

[viscid swift]

extended maintenance, #game-news

[icy scarab]

unluggy

[tame jungle]

Sobbers

[sonic flame]

Is been a while since we got one of those tbh.

[late flame]

the second coming of microlayer medley

[eternal moth]

They ran into quite a few unexpected errors on the JP side, so I assume maint was extended to prioritize those

[eternal basalt]

And we cannot dl our files, important point

[late flame]

we must follow the ways of AK CN

[inner delta]

[sonic flame]

The skill books feature was until this maintenance, right?

[eternal basalt]

Fast book is gone

[late flame]

phew

[whole crypt]

about time running out of rainbow books

[sonic flame]

I was running out of ships to actually upgrade. Ships that intend to keep besides the fleet tech, I mean.

[elfin hollow]

Is it just me who can't get into the game?

[inner delta]

maint not done

[elfin hollow]

Ah I see

[silk sphinx]

Isn’t there #maintenance-channel ? Post there not here

[jaunty vault]

post what

[wind hazel]

yes

[worldly pewter]

i tried the construction again looks like the animation is broken consistently

[jaunty vault]

oh yea post this there

[grizzled lion]

Skill books feature?

[plain saffron]

Prob meant quick skill levelling

[jaunty vault]

oh they definitely did mean that

[grizzled lion]

Quick skill leveling. What is that? Later game or?

[viscid swift]

an event where you can instantly finish 10 instances of skill training per day

[cinder dragon]

Anybody else tired of finding ships to enhance with all the commons when farming? It feels like the biggest chore. Any tips?

[jaunty vault]

uhh

use the middle button on enhance page

[eternal basalt]

Finish them all

[jaunty vault]

oh you meant you dont wanna enhance

then just retire yea

[cinder dragon]

Yeah, I just have to go through my dock, find ships that I may use someday far in the future

But I guess I could just switch to retire if nothing has any enhance left

[inner delta]

can you not just sort to "enhancable"

[jaunty vault]

you know, you could just start enhancing randomly

[cinder dragon]

Oh cool, didn't think of that

[vapid violet]

The game still not up? Stuck in loading screen rn

[inner delta]

not up

[vapid violet]

Dam

[sonic flame]

The fast books/quick levelling

[bright glen]

I'm stuck at this screen for what seems like decades...

[viscid swift]

#game-news

[jaunty vault]

not up

[bright glen]

Oh... Alright thanks for the info

[jaunty vault]

you're welcome 🤗

[worldly pewter]

either change the language to cn jp kr or wait

[late flame]

changing language would not help lol

[polar raft]

Did anyone have to download the whole game and assets again?

[worldly pewter]

it has been tested earlier though

[bright glen]

I downloaded 1gb worth of update from playstore. Idk what's that tho

[worldly pewter]

#gameplay-help message

[viscid swift]

even if you did download all the files now by switching language you still need to wait for the maintinence to be over to get in

[jaunty vault]

everyone

[worldly pewter]

that is the apk

[late flame]

Happy *waiting

[inland shoal]

Changing device language helped someone for some reason

[worldly pewter]

yeah it depends on the player's internet speed and sleeping schedule
for me i had to spend 4 hours to update 12 GB

[jaunty vault]

i changed my device language to arabic and the game just blacked out

[worldly pewter]

earlier it helped everyone who got the information i think

[inland shoal]

(Can you see my msg? My discord is acting insanely weird today)

[viscid swift]

yes

[dawn crest]

New UR today?

[icy mountain]

not yet

[viscid swift]

no

[worldly pewter]

#gameplay-help message

[jaunty vault]

why are you sending the same message multiple times

talk about spam smh

[late flame]

#game-news spam letsgo

[whole crypt]

imagine not defaulting your phone to moonrunes

[jaunty vault]

[whole crypt]

I do in fact, use my phone in moonrunes, so I probably would have never ran into that problem or knonw about it

[silk sphinx]

CN isn’t up yet is it?

Still buggy? Is what I meant

[whole crypt]

CN should have been up hours ago
JP was up on schedule but some people bugging out and fix hasn't been deployed

[grand solar]

Does anyone happen to know why after I downloaded the new update why the game is having issues loading?

[whole crypt]

actually CN shouldn't have any problems today since their client update was last week

[viscid swift]

#game-news

[tulip dawn]

the maint isn’t over yet

[rose venture]

is teh gaem finally ded?

[viscid swift]

for the love of

[rose venture]

[whole crypt]

literally read ONE line above yourself

[tulip dawn]

no, it’s just in maint

[wary hawk]

Dont we have a "search before asking" rule or smth

[late flame]

imagine reading

[silk sphinx]

But shouldn’t it just have the message of “in maintenance” if it’s working properly?

[worldly pewter]

#gameplay-help message

[inland shoal]

I wish

[whole crypt]

not always

[rose venture]

oh i see.

[undone plover]

lock gph until maint is over

[whole crypt]

in fact game can even show you the maintenance message even when there's no maintenance if you disconnected by some sort of bad connection

[inland shoal]

Depends on what you mean by working properly

[wary hawk]

Im sure al general has it worse

[silk sphinx]

For instance I have this

While others have just loading bar

[whole crypt]

[rose venture]

i hope we get apologems

[cobalt rapids]

did u update app in store ?

[wary hawk]

They already promised 200

[worldly pewter]

are u done from the dl the 11GB ?

[silk sphinx]

Yes it’s all updated

All done. Ios

[inland shoal]

I also every now and then got "Server down" instead of maintenance message

[tulip dawn]

is there difference between iOS and android as to whether or not it loads

[whole crypt]

we already get 200 gems for client update, unless the maintenances stretches significantly longer don't expect any more gems

[cobalt rapids]

ah its just android issue

[worldly pewter]

#gameplay-help message

[grand solar]

I just hope they don't expect me to download another gig of data. I am almost out of space.

[silk sphinx]

I also get the “

So yeah rly just android ig

[tulip dawn]

[whole crypt]

I suspect the message display is client side, and shows based on how it times out/disconnects with the server

[worldly pewter]

it shouldn't be an issue since it is mostly overwriting

[whole crypt]

I've had a few occasions of switching wifi and stuff or just bad reception and it disconnects me with maintenance message

[eternal moth]

Still not even loading the update... Be prepared for maintenance to be extended again

[grand solar]

Now don't get me wrong. I have been putting money aside for the last couple of months to take care of the issue of low disk space now, butnthese gig+ downloads make me sweat quite a bit.

[cobalt rapids]

[viscid swift]

doom posting can go to #al-general

[whole crypt]

get better internet

[tulip dawn]

This update is a redownload, your AL size won’t increase afaik

Mine decreased actually

[whole crypt]

it increased slightly for me

[silk sphinx]

It increased a lot

By around 5Gb for me though

[whole crypt]

I'm guessing this update did cleanup some old files if your download was really old

[tulip dawn]

Interesting, mine decreased by like a gig after finishing

[whole crypt]

what device and what size now

[tulip dawn]

but yeah my download was giga old

[whole crypt]

not sure about fruits

[silk sphinx]

Nvm iPhone 13

[whole crypt]

android comfortably around 17GBs before and after this update, with full assets

[silk sphinx]

Oh nvm it increased a lot more than I thought

It’s currently sitting at 21 GB, previously was around 15?

[inner delta]

#off-topic you go

[wispy pendant]

Do we think maint over in 15 minutes?

[grand solar]

Okay so yeah my file space did go down a little bit. Still need to get a bigger and arguably new tablet sometime in the next couple of months though.

[viscid swift]

wait and see

[tulip dawn]

Btw how good is the North Carolina augment?

[viscid swift]

mediocre

[silk sphinx]

No longer worst gold bb probably

[tulip dawn]

I haven’t really seen much about it

[wispy pendant]

Azur still 21 gb

[whole crypt]

can cope for ch15

[inland shoal]

Decent imo
Just NC is bad so

[viscid swift]

it's an aug that's only really valuable in plane heavy environments and there are better ships for said content anyway

[silk sphinx]

Meh healer something with aa

[whole crypt]

just not as the main BB

she's a better healer than she is at AA

[tulip dawn]

She’s always been meh at AA cause lol 100% efficiency but yeah she seemed like a decent off healer on paper

But I guess there’s just still too little she brings to the table

[whole crypt]

tested to work in 15 with the right amount of DPS

[grand solar]

Despite it all AL is the biggest offender in terms of storage on my drive at 16gigs of space.

[whole crypt]

but yeh if you can bring NorCal as your ch15 healer in any capacity, chances are you don't need to use her as your healer

[whole crypt]

unless someone can give me a good illustration where 135 range stretches, anecdotally I feel like her heal will go off as long as there's planes coming into the screen at all

[silk sphinx]

Did suchiguma do faction fleets for w15 or was that some other world

[whole crypt]

he did French for 14, I don't think he's done 15 yet

[silk sphinx]

Wondering if you could do lethal with some dead slots

[sweet delta]

135 is off screen

[whole crypt]

well there he is

[cobalt rapids]

he did IB for 15-3 and then dual faction for 15-4

[whole crypt]

so 134 has enough range to engage as long as planes spawn at all?

[sweet delta]

Idk about fuze, but normal ship guns don't target off screen enemies

[tulip dawn]

I assume the NC augment barrage does like 2 damage

[tame jungle]

2 shots 150 ish dmg

AP with improved mods on heavy i think

[whole crypt]

well if 135 stretches off screen bottom line that's enough range to shoot planes as soon as they enter screen even if they don't shoot off screen

[vale apex]

are the servers up

[tulip dawn]

Damn, 2 damage but expected from augment barrage

[inland shoal]

Did Esdeath do IB for 15-4 or did he give in?

[tulip dawn]

Not yet

[whole crypt]

so you're basically guaranteed for NorCal's aug to proc on any sort of plane spawn

[cobalt rapids]

not yet afaik

[whole crypt]

surprisingly not dogshit mods on light but really just not a lot of damage

[tulip dawn]

Armor mods look more like a torp’s, interesting

[whole crypt]

well still scales with FP so it's not like it'll really do 150 and nothing more

but it's not much to look forward to even if you can proc it on cooldown

[sweet delta]

It's about as much as VVs 15 second barrage after being averaged out

[tulip dawn]

oh well you take what you can get when it comes to NC honestly

[grand solar]

I am considering replacing Essex with Implacable in fleet 1 for OpSi, alongside Enterprise and Warspite(Retro). Is that a good trade off towards building a boss killer fleet?

[sweet delta]

Certainly

[whole crypt]

Essex isn't a boss carrier and Implacable will definitely do better... but do you have a better carrier to throw in than to fit spoot

[viscid swift]

seeing as Implacable does more damage than Essex and has a root...

[lone vigil]

servers should be up soon just waiting...

[silk sphinx]

Nah more extended, #game-news

[grand solar]

I have Enterprise.

[silk sphinx]

Just wait till more news ig, no expected maint end time now

[urban grail]

did any of u get a black screen instead

[whole crypt]

I mean another carrier

[worldly pewter]

#gameplay-help message

[silk sphinx]

No, and that’s kind of why. JP still buggy and EN client having issues even now

[urban grail]

ty

[worldly lion]

Is the game online? Keep having this

[viscid swift]

#game-news

[pine crystal]

extended extended maint

[worldly pewter]

#gameplay-help message

[grizzled creek]

Do they usually give cubes or anything for maintenance? This one's pretty long

[urban grail]

mine's just full black after the manjuu logo's out

[worldly lion]

Thanks

[viscid swift]

there will be something for the extended maintenance

[inland shoal]

Just wait until maint is over

[sweet delta]

#maintenance-channel

[whole crypt]

maybe more oil/coins but I find extra gems unlikely unless they stretch a whole day or something

[grand solar]

Yeah I have other carriers. Could you be a little specific in what you are talking about?

[silk sphinx]

Normally they give some oil and coins if no extension. For short extensions they give more oil and coin. For big extensions well, they have given gems before but it’s very rare

[urban grail]

ok just wanna confirm, thought it was emu problem ty

[worldly lion]

New boobas coming?

[grizzled creek]

I see

[viscid swift]

not this patch

[viscid swift]

well what other CVs do you have

[whole crypt]

Ark Royal perhaps, I assume you have no rainbows

even if you don't need her slow Ark Royal has a pretty strong loadout for bossing, just not against light

[grand solar]

If I have Implacable that kind of implies I have other rainbows.

[cobalt rapids]

shinano haku implac

[whole crypt]

well then why aren't you just throwing in the rainbow carriers

[viscid swift]

it does not and even if we assume you have other rainbow CVs we don't know if they're maxed or not

[keen sable]

i was going to say if you have placy + 3 then you shouldn't be one fleeting

[grizzled creek]

One more thing , I seen something about 7th anni ? Is that soon & for global version? I don't remember where I seen it at

[sweet delta]

~~They threw in a rainbow BB at least ~~

[viscid swift]

all 3 main servers are synced so we will be getting the CN Anni event as well

[worldly lion]

Do you guys recommend getting AvP after I research Agir. I wonder how good her slow is. Kinda annoying when AR torpedoes go past bosses

[grand solar]

Yeah I have Ark Royal(Retro)

[inland shoal]

That is next week and it's cn anni but there will be a global event anyway

[cobalt rapids]

each server has their own Ani but we get the events from all ani servers except some specific server rewards where we gotta wait our turn

[balmy kiln]

Just to confirm, game still in maint and nobody's game is working?

[viscid swift]

yes

[sweet delta]

#maintenance-channel

[whole crypt]

well if you have other rainbow carriers then there's no point going to Ark Royal

[grizzled creek]

I see, so that's the event I'm saving for ? Is one of the annis

I started at a decent time then

[elfin hollow]

i got 2 ur bulins, guam is at 2 lbs, is it worth to max her to farm the gems from w15 or do i wait

[viscid swift]

you're saving mainly for gacha UR events which the CN Anni event will almost certainly be yes

[whole crypt]

we can't make a proper reocmmendation without knowing what you have or don't have

[inland shoal]

Her slow is second to Impla only pretty much so yes

[viscid swift]

wait with the CN Anni event in about 5 days

[forest palm]

at least things decided to break when there's not a major event

[cobalt rapids]

we we get a UR within a week

[worldly lion]

gotcha. ty

[grizzled creek]

Ok that makes sense thx, I wasn't sure if it was some other event or not, does the CN anniversary usually drop crazy stuff ?

[viscid swift]

a new gacha UR among other things, probably a new retrofit as well and some news about future updates and some quality of life stuff

[grand solar]

I am only missing one of CV URs, two of the BB URs, four of the CA URs, missing all the CL URs and two of the DD URs,

[grizzled creek]

That's nice then

[whole crypt]

gem and ring handouts will only be on your own server's anniversary, expect some handouts like maybe cubes and books

[viscid swift]

that doesn't narrow things down and there aren't even 4 UR CAs

[elfin hollow]

unzen hindy drake, maybe he added CBs there as well

[grizzled creek]

That's a pretty cool feature lol, most games don't have server based annis

[viscid swift]

can you give tell names, their limit break and development level in case of the DRs

[grand solar]

You are right, there are 7 UR CAs.

[viscid swift]

CBs are not CAs

[mellow cape]

When does maint end

[sweet delta]

[sweet delta]

#game-news

[soft raft]

when the devs manage to not fuck more shit up, that's when

[viscid swift]

and if you're including CBs as CAs there's 8 not 7

[cobalt rapids]

then its 8

[keen sable]

table was cn so i guess that's crazy? otoh biskii was a bunch of nothingness with only fdg gun

[whole crypt]

without knowing which UR CV you're missing, and assuming they're MLB'd and leveled, just throw Implacable + any 2 others into the carrier fleet and you're fine

[grand solar]

I am only missing Hakuryu

[whole crypt]

assuming they're MLB'd and leveled, just throw Implacable + any 2 others into the carrier fleet and you're fine

[eternal moth]

Imp/Shin/YT2 is fine, you just want to include 2 JP vanguard in that case if you can. Azuma/Kaza would work in most cases

[grand solar]

Only Implacable isn't fully leveled, she just crested level 100, but the others are....Shinninao is fully leveled and Yorkie 2 is coming along just fine.

[viscid swift]

Yorktown 2 also wants 2 other EU ships

just run Yorktown 2 and Enterprise

[whole crypt]

that works too

[grand solar]

My main mob fleet in OpSi consists of Amagi, NJ, Uni(Retro), Portland, Nep and Sandy(Retro).

[keen sable]

sounds bad

[forest palm]

it's alright

Amagi can be dumped for better, the vanguard is servicable

[grand solar]

I honestly find her doing quite well.

[whole crypt]

OS mobbing is easy
how much you pile onto it just depends on how brainlessly you want to auto strongholds or maybe even abyssals

[soft raft]

alot of shit works for OpSi mob if you're not trying to do shit like mob solo strongholds or abysalls

[keen sable]

Meta ships NJ and Unicorn carry 3/4 bad ships through ops mob

[grand solar]

Well I am working on trying to level better ships for other stuff as many of my ships are quite out of date.

[forest palm]

only real ships I have a problem with in that fleet are Neptune, and Amagi

[grand solar]

Okay? Why though?

[forest palm]

Neptune is really only a mob tank with very weak damage, on top of that you're using Portland, so Neptune is already invalidated in that one area, on top of this she's very easily replaced

I've already said enough on Amagi, she's just dated, and easily replaceable

[mellow cape]

Gridman fleet with unicorn is my fav for mobbing

7-8 second clears

[still terrace]

Anyone know how to solve this issue? Been in this loading screen for 30+mins

[inner delta]

game not up

[still terrace]

Ohh thanks for the info i thought it's up as normally at this time i can login and do my dailies

[grand solar]

Yeah seems that way.

[soft raft]

stay tuned to #game-news

[keen sable]

exceptional circumstances

[steep merlin]

guys does it work now or nah? the login

[soft raft]

no
stay tuned to #game-news

[steep merlin]

ah I see ty

[thorny raven]

stay ahead of the curve . become japanese and get a prime opportunity to download 10gb of files now

[sharp pecan]

It is likely that this might affect a lot of people rn, have the same issue

[soft raft]

It's literally affecting all of EN and JP
"Likely" my ass

[tame jungle]

It’s quite literally in #game-news lmfao

[sharp pecan]

I've joined recently

[jaunty vault]

dw blaster is rude to everyone not just newbies

[soft raft]

to be frank, when like 20+ people ask what's going on, you're bound to get cranky constantly replying with the same thing

[fervent hearth]

What’s going on

[tame jungle]

People not reading

[jaunty vault]

maintenance

[keen sable]

no one is forcing you to answer in an abrasive manner

[viscid swift]

extended maintinence

[eternal basalt]

Indef maintenance

[worldly pewter]

this is the first time that this happens ?

[viscid swift]

oh definitely not

[jaunty vault]

extended maint? nahh

[viscid swift]

first time in a while though

[keen sable]

very rarely have the sandbaggers been screwed over

[worldly pewter]

what was the record of an extended maint ?

[viscid swift]

a few days

[jaunty vault]

oh yeah its almost time for pvp reset

[worldly pewter]

??

[soft raft]

Is this the AL Zoomer's Microlayer Medley?

[inland shoal]

#al-general or maint channel or off topic idc

[viscid swift]

anyway yes, just stay tuned to the AL news outlets

[inner delta]

also gonna give you note, and will apply to everyone else but just so happen that you are the one doing it while im looking. If you are tired just shut, if you being rude just for "im tired of answering the same question" ill warn you next time

[soft raft]

Fair enough, understood

[fervent hearth]

Yes my lord

[soft raft]

was poor wording on my part as well

[stone sluice]

I need to feed ma ships LUL

Anyways, there is a “how AA works” tutorial? Or if there are good AA setups. I’m not sure I need to get rainbow AA guns for all my ships when attempting ch15

[silk sphinx]

Be nice to each other now

[viscid swift]

that's a rabbit whole in it of itself but the key thing to remember is that the reload of your AA guns and range is averaged across the fleet

[soft raft]

Your AA Carries have high prio for the UR AA, otherwise Sextuple or the roomba
And everyone else essentially runs American Quad or Italian Twin bofors, Haze/STAAG if they're backliners

[viscid swift]

sextuple goes on your ship with best AA gun slot discounting number of AA gun mounts

rest of the vanguards get Twin 90mms and if you can afford them 57s

[stone sluice]

[worldly pewter]

jp got an update now

[dusky stream]

I gotta switch setups for main fleet for W15, the planes are eating me alive too.

[viscid swift]

start by reading /w15 in #bot-spam

[dusky stream]

Yeah I just gotta do some switching around and maybe some more flapjacks

[wispy pendant]

so at least one more hour?

[soft raft]

Stay tuned™

[dusky stream]

Oh yay assets finally dl'd on my phone.

Heh interesting the demo fleet is running gato

[gloomy mesa]

So after this wait what kind of care package may I expect?

[soft raft]

Besides the usual maint rewards and the 200 gems that were originally planned? Dunno

Depends on how long this drags on for

They've only done apologems for extended maint way back during Microlayer medley's original run which went on for days

[gloomy mesa]

You mean the app/play store update? Or the in-game download?

Because for me it's still stuck on loading

[dusky stream]

The in game download. Updated the ipad first and it was fine, then grabbed the ipa for the mac (it's still d/ling assets), the android phone was stuck on loading, if you change your system language to japanese and reboot it'll start the game and allow you to dl assets

[gloomy mesa]

Lol

Japanese it is.

[stone sluice]

Sorry if this is not the channel for it but, shall I redownload the complete game before the update?

[eternal moth]

JP runs a slightly different client

[soft raft]

There's little reason to un-install and re-install
Esp if you forgot to bind your acc then whoops that means all of your progress is gone

[maiden dock]

so you shouldnt change the language?

[eternal moth]

I'd just wait until EN is actually working correctly, I don't know if changing to JP will mess with anything

[maiden dock]

well i just did that but no problem i can just delete al and redownload the game again

cause i already deleted it...

[soft raft]

There's little reason to

oh
Welp hopefully you binded your account

[knotty dome]

jp servers are based on system language not geolocation?

[maiden dock]

I did dont worry

i hope

[keen sable]

i don't think you should. devs have clearly stated they intend to resolve the issue and doing so won't let you play anyway.

[maiden dock]

But it will let me download 14gb of data beforehand

which takes 1hour

there we go

i guess no downloading assets for me

[hollow gust]

[inland shoal]

For future reference no gifs in here unless they're like barrage gifs or sth like that

[soft raft]

or other forms of off topic media that are not related to the topic at hand

[fervent hearth]

my lord it shall be done forgive me

[gloomy mesa]

Please tell me that Google binding counts

[soft raft]

That's not a thing for this game
So uhhhhhh

Hope you binded your acc to Yostar or have your UID (and any applocable recipits) if you uninstalled

[gloomy mesa]

Fuck

[silk sphinx]

*bound

[fluid brook]

TLDR, servers are still down?

[wind hazel]

ye

[fluid brook]

[soft raft]

I've been downloading the re-download for a while now so they might be up(?)

[fluid brook]

well i dip, thanks

[inland shoal]

But I think asset dl works again, so hopefully open soon

[gloomy mesa]

Didn't delete the game only did the update in the play store, that should still keep all relevant info in my cache right? RIGHT!?

[soft raft]

as long as you didnt uninstall the game you're good

[silk sphinx]

Server up

[jaunty vault]

nice

[atomic abyss]

as long as you didn't delete the game

you shd be fine

[gloomy mesa]

Holy , dear lord I thank the heavens

[jaunty vault]

now to download the 13GB data
...

[gloomy mesa]

Download it

[forest palm]

hey we didn't get Microlayer'd

[supple verge]

i accidentally uninstalled and reinstalled the game lol does that i mean i need to resinatll all the data?

[bright chasm]

What if I uninstalled the game during the maintenance?
I have my account bound to a Yoshtar ID ofc, but should I just be able to log back in?

[jaunty vault]

you had to do it either ways

[soft raft]

Yes
And hopefully you binded your account otherwise your progress is gone

[soft raft]

after you reinstall and download all the stuff yee

[bright chasm]

alright

[jaunty vault]

If Android players are having problems with the update, please try to download the new update 81002 (8.1.2) in Google Play Store.

btw this is another app update apart from the 1GB update

[eternal basalt]

Finally the dl...

Yes, get the appstore update or you'rre still stuck ingame

[wispy pendant]

rip those that lose their pvp tickets

[supple verge]

i dont see it yet for my emulator on the google play

guess i gotta wait

[wind hazel]

try searching for Azur Lane on search bar, instead of going from installed app

[silk sphinx]

Still have time rn

If you’re current with the meta, fights take less than a minute

[gloomy mesa]

Am I the only one still stuck on loading?

[jaunty vault]

.

[inland shoal]

Including loading screen and endscreens etc?

[wispy pendant]

some still need to download, some might be waiting till the hour turns to try again

[eternal basalt]

10GB to dl... no way in 5m

[silk sphinx]

I finished my fights at least

[wispy pendant]

me too

[dusky stream]

Yeah same.. just in time.

[gloomy mesa]

What fights!? I'm so lost

[jaunty vault]

pvp

[soft raft]

#pvp shenanagins

[wispy pendant]

pvp exercises give more tickets in 1 minute, and some may overcap

[jaunty vault]

sandbagging basically

[stone sluice]

10Gb download. Bye bye playing AL on ma phone. Glad I bought a tablet

[gloomy mesa]

I can't even freaking get out of the loading screen while some are already fighting!? 😭

Don't you dare tell me to delete the game, that would be the end

[jaunty vault]

@gloomy mesa

for the second time

[elfin hollow]

Is this any good for Unicorn?

[viscid swift]

no

[jaunty vault]

its bad for everyone

[atomic abyss]

horrendous

[viscid swift]

it's not good for anyone

[atomic abyss]

purple corsair is far better than this

[jaunty vault]

ender could you pin this

[gloomy mesa]

Missed that, I kiss your feet and eyes my dear brother/sister

[jaunty vault]

[elfin hollow]

Should I dissemble it?? :3

[soft raft]

dissasemble what?

[jaunty vault]

sure

[elfin hollow]

.

[soft raft]

ah that
yeah that's kinda whatever

[jaunty vault]

you could keep it on CVs youre not using for fleet power

[keen sable]

I like leaving it on Akaga so you know how bad they are

[atomic abyss]

i mean

[echo wren]

Is essex good

[jaunty vault]

depends

[atomic abyss]

you could always refer them to #tech-support

[soft raft]

she's not terrible but at the same time she doesnt really have much late-game use compared to other options

[atomic abyss]

essex is a solid carrier, although stuff like enty are better

[jaunty vault]

i will do that

[echo wren]

Okayy

So ark better

And saratoga?

[atomic abyss]

yes and yes imo

for one they are elites so they're much easier to get bulins for

[soft raft]

Ark has different utility
and Saratoga is basically Enty-at home

[wind hazel]

which highest stage do you guys do if you don't need the retrofit bps anymore from hard mode?

[keen sable]

They do different things

[atomic abyss]

either cruiser or dd tbh

[jaunty vault]

whatever w13 stage i have less BPs of

[wind hazel]

👍

[silk sphinx]

Go check whatever App Store you’re using, if you’re on android a new update should be available. Refresh if it’s not

[forest palm]

what's better than one APK update, 2

[undone plover]

do i need to change the language again or uninstall the app? stuck on loading screen

[viscid swift]

download the second update from the app store

[undone plover]

oh it doesnt redirect you automatically? wasnt aware there is another update. Thanks

[forest palm]

have to get the update to unfuck the update

[dawn hamlet]

just to be sure, there's no event right now right? (aside of minors event)

[viscid swift]

no

stay tuned for the live stream tomorrow and the Tuesday patch

[forest palm]

this is effectively a dead week

[dawn hamlet]

alright thanks for the confirmation

so back to grinding the main story then

[wispy pendant]

"week" I mean we get another maint earlier next week, so we'll have a new UR in less than a week... and after the live stream, there will be a lot of talk about the upcoming event, so it won't feel dead even though nothing new in game.

[eternal basalt]

CtA, storystuff

[forest palm]

brother in christ that is next week, next thursday, that means this week is a dead week

[dawn hamlet]

oh right another question about research for PR/DR?, I saw on the wiki this:

Series 1,2,3 and the PR ships of PR4 allow the use of Coin to replace BP.
The phrasing of "Series 1,2,3" mean we could also use coins for Friedrich instead of BP right?

[wispy pendant]

next Tuesday

[atomic abyss]

yes

[silk sphinx]

Why is this provoking a discussion

[atomic abyss]

there has been no confirmation of when the next event starts

[viscid swift]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/789926714490617917/1240726310251135097/image.png?ex=66479beb&is=66464a6b&hm=e44ffb3fed59c23071920d57f0c59e96a85846508218878bf9b77533dd1d4324&

[atomic abyss]

whether it's tues or thurs

[viscid swift]

next update is this tuesday

[dawn hamlet]

okay so no point to research Friedrich BP? Better farm a ship without gold alternative
edit: thanks again for the confirmation guys

[atomic abyss]

that's not a confirmation

most likely the case? yeah i'd say so

but it's just an assumption lol

[silk sphinx]

*almost certainly the case

[atomic abyss]

so yeah, PR4 non-rainbow ships can be coined too
so best to focus on face research for stuff like agir and haku

[eternal basalt]

Its in the patchnotes that's CtA's part 2 starts

And part 2 is event

[forest jasper]

cn alr say is on 21st

[dawn hamlet]

thanks would Brest be a good choice too?

[forest palm]

just pull it up in game ffs

[atomic abyss]

no, cos brest is PR5

[viscid swift]

might wanna give that a read
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research

[dawn hamlet]

oh alright I'll check the documentation then, thanks again guys

[sly haven]

is it just me that cant load azur lane after updating it?

[jaunty vault]

#tech-support

[viscid swift]

download the second update from the app store

[eternal basalt]

Chwck appstore for new update

[sly haven]

yeah thats where i updated it

its getting stuck on the loading game screen

[jaunty vault]

#tech-support

[sly haven]

ok

[wispy pendant]

do we know who "miss D" is on the CTA announcement?

[sweet delta]

#al-lore

[eternal basalt]

90mb or 1.1GB?

[blazing shale]

Downloading all the 10 gb files

[jaunty vault]

#al-general

[blazing shale]

Not #tech-support ?

[atomic abyss]

I still say it's premature to say

so until explicitly said

like during the stream tmr

best not to take things at face value

[eternal basalt]

I'm at 3.5GB but you can click part 2 of that screen there

[tiny kettle]

are servers up or not yet?

[keen sable]

hard to imagine another reason for CtA phase 2 to start other than phase 2 starting

[jaunty vault]

Are you having technical issues with the game? Can't login? Game crashing? That sort of thing? Get help from your fellow players and even Yostar staff here on #tech-support ! Be sure to check #known-bugs to see if your problem has a workaround, is not actually a bug, or is already known.

[atomic abyss]

is it so hard to wait for official confirmation lol

[viscid swift]

well when it's so blatantly obvious...

[eternal basalt]

Someone post miss D part 2

[keen sable]

it's officially announced in the game when phase 2 is starting

[viscid swift]

there's times to be cautious yes when things are unclear but in cases like this well...

[static harbor]

Yo, would oathing Vanguard make her reload too fast?

[jaunty vault]

5.56% more rld than 100 affinity

or something around that

[static harbor]

Ah so not that much, aight then

[jaunty vault]

meth is weird

i mean
her reload is already too fast

[viscid swift]

wdym, it's just basic chemistry

[sweet delta]

I haven't found a case where I would have preferred her to be unoathed

[static harbor]

Im trying to decide between oathing Vanguard or Soyuz

[sweet delta]

Why not both?

[static harbor]

Times be tough

Ive made the mistake of playing 3 gacha games as well, so

[sly raven]

chose vanguard

[soft raft]

Just oath waifu

[sly raven]

also why is my game not opening

[static harbor]

Already did, now I oath for muh minmax

[viscid swift]

download the second update from the app store

[sly raven]

gotcha on it

[keen sable]

just have an oathed minus 7 RLD vanguard

[atomic abyss]

if i had to pick, soyuz
cos she's the dps and she's rather slow anyways

[steady beacon]

Gonna try that when she reruns

[jaunty vault]

#tech-support

[steady beacon]

@sweet delta really silly question but
You wouldn't happen to have done a vid post-Soyuz of a triple BB fleet (ideally Musashi/Soyuz/Bismarck) where you give an equipment setup versus Hermit, would you?

[grand solar]

Okay so I can't play the game anymore. How exactly is it supposed to be a 10gig download? wtf

[sweet delta]

Silly pilica, triple BB doesnt do sub 40s so no

[soft raft]

complete asset redownload go brrrr

[steady beacon]

Lul, fair enough

[sweet delta]

Also opsi BB gear sync doesn't matter much because it's only 2 to 4 salvos

[grand solar]

Yeah I don't have that kind of space to download. I have like half of that..

[sweet delta]

It's just how many autoloaders and hsfcrs or 457s to throw on to avoid shields

[sweet delta]

#al-general

[steady beacon]

OK, you basically answered the question I had with that answer, thank you

[keen sable]

you can select nothing...

[raven kindle]

what is this 10gb update 🤔

[grand solar]

Yeah...um I already selected for it now it's asking me to confirm for a 10gig download. Sooo...yeah....

[soft raft]

complete asset redownload

[keen sable]

so say no

[pseudo abyss]

Game still on maintenance for everyone?

[viscid swift]

maintinence has ended

[atomic abyss]

nope

[inland shoal]

No. Might have to get a new update from play store

[pseudo abyss]

I updated from the App Store this morning and then after did a 13gb download

[inland shoal]

Yes there is a new update in play store

[atomic abyss]

there are 2 playstore updates

[keen sable]

do it again...

[pseudo abyss]

Ohh ic brb

Checked nothing

[sweet delta]

#tech-support

[pseudo abyss]

Alright thx

[inland shoal]

Oh right you said app store not play store yeah then can't help you

[wispy pendant]

What's the gimmic with repulse meta? Do I think triple BB with Ply, Unzen, and Hinde good? Should I be using PR6 guns on Hinde or Drake guns?

[atomic abyss]

repulse is the one with a crap tonne of shields

[wispy pendant]

wasn't sure if I need to focus on the shields somehow or nah

yeah, how do I best deal with the shields?

I'm usually 2 shotting it, but sometimes I barely get more than half damage, so feels like I'm doing something wrong

[viscid swift]

you need to spam BB main gun salvos, air strikes, and torps to make her take more damage

but doing so also increases the damage she deals in turn to your fleet

[wispy pendant]

so Hinde not a good choice?

[keen sable]

you use helena

[sweet delta]

so use kearsarge and fubuki

[atomic abyss]

to be fair it's a really annoying meta in particular

[wispy pendant]

who best to use besides Unzen, Jintsuu meta?

[viscid swift]

if you're looking for a consistent one shot, don't bother

[wispy pendant]

nah, just consistently more than half

[viscid swift]

I ended up running Musashi, Zwei, Kearsarge, Agir, Plymouth, Laffey 2

[wispy pendant]

laffey2, hmm

[atomic abyss]

unfortunately this boss is very rng so

[viscid swift]

it gets around 1.2-1.38 million damage

[forest palm]

you want a consistent one shot for any new meta, pray they release a 100% proc Helena with a longer time window

[wispy pendant]

Kear vs Vanguard?

[viscid swift]

either probably works, Kearsarge is just what I'm using

[keen sable]

kearsarge strips an extra shield. vanguard doesn't

[coral cairn]

So is there something I should do if I am still stuck on loading ?

[simple helm]

hi just got in here.. what are we talking about?

[atomic abyss]

#tech-support might be better

[atomic abyss]

repulse meta

[viscid swift]

she's quite repulsive

[round hare]

freest 300 :D

[silk sphinx]

#al-general

[dawn hamlet]

which ship has the highest priority for retrofit farming?

[soft raft]

Unicorn > Portland > Your starter DD

[dawn hamlet]

and what about yuudachi?

[sweet delta]

#trophy-room

[soft raft]

you can do that later
Not exactly a high prio and also there's the fact that her retrofit item costs half a UR Bullin

[atomic abyss]

the problem with yuudachi, as good as she is, is that she needs a retro item

and that costs specialised core, which is a very limited commodity

[dawn hamlet]

oh damn, alright I'll just go farming for unicorn then
thanks a bunch guys

[atomic abyss]

said commodity is used to buy rainbow bulins

so it's a matter of opportunity cost

i think he means farming the retro BP blaster

[soft raft]

yeah realized that 💀

[gloomy mesa]

Lol, just me?

[sweet delta]

And yuudachi has a few side grades and upgrades

[eternal basalt]

#bug-reports (no)

Good to know

[soft raft]

is it just me or are the shots from Ply's debuff barrage missing the actual bullet itself for anyone? I just see this odd glow like in the picture

Ive tried repair assets but it's still persisting

[forest palm]

just look away

[round hare]

is this only source for array if events are not in consideration

[glacial marlin]

Hello. I see that they announced the servers are back up but I'm still stuck at this screen. Any suggestions on what I could do?

[vale spindle]

[sweet delta]

#tech-support

[vale spindle]

check for additional appstore/playstore updates

[glacial marlin]

Okay, I will check and also switch to the tech support thread. Thanks guys

[elfin hollow]

Still dead?

[sweet delta]

Not the channel

[elfin hollow]

maint got locked

[soft raft]

maint was over like two hours ago

[sweet delta]

#al-general

[elfin hollow]

Holy it's asking me to redownloadl 10.8 GB of data

[sweet delta]

#al-general

[tiny gulch]

so uh what exactly did this 12gb patch do? i'm not really seeing anything

[soft raft]

asset redownload

[dawn hamlet]

what does failing a battle condition like No casualties and Destroy all under 120s do?

[sweet delta]

No S rank

[dawn hamlet]

does it impact the drop?

[sweet delta]

S rank gives extra drop (chance) and experience

[atomic abyss]

significantly drops

[viscid swift]

failing to get S rank means you don't get +20% XP and if on the boss does not gurantee a ship drop

not to mention if you're losing ships then morale decreases rapidly

[dawn hamlet]

ah good infos. Thanks a lot guys

[elfin hollow]

So I’m building a fleet to level up ships.

(Reno is actual interest. Prinz is a tank substitute for a second fleet and Z23 is for Retrofit, Ayanami and further Tech Points.)

(Long Island and Queen Elizabeth is also personal interest.)

Any tips for builds?

[keen sable]

sounds like everything is personal interest so no

[elfin hollow]

Should I change the gears for Reno and Prinz?

[soft raft]

1. your fleet is complete garbo to put it bluntly
2. You are not really in a position to be choosy about your gear rn
3. here go read this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
4. You look nowhere close enough to be even worrying about a 2nd fleet

[keen sable]

putting a gear in every slot is generally a good idea

no, yes

[elfin hollow]

Should I change Queen Elizabeth’s main gun? I heard that THAT specific gun is generally only viable when Hood is using it.

[soft raft]

that's not Hood specific, that's for any BB who's damage mainly comes from their barrage

[atomic abyss]

^
qe may not be like that true, but it's not like you have anything better besides the one on penn

[knotty dome]

can oathed ships be retired?

[winter imp]

Hey guys I'm stuck at the loading screen and I'm wondering how do you get out of it?

[viscid swift]

#tech-support

[wet prairie]

the update is so large

[atomic abyss]

update your app again, head to #tech-support

[winter imp]

Ah fack me it's been a while since I chatted in this server

[keen sable]

are you going to strip penny?

[minor kraken]

Is This good?

[soft raft]

Looks pretty sus
and what content are you trying to do with this fleet?

[atomic abyss]

frontline is mostly garbage for the matter

[velvet coral]

Is it normal that the game doesn't load after the update? Do i have to reinstall it?

[atomic abyss]

is that NJ mlb

[jaunty vault]

#tech-support

[atomic abyss]

#tech-support there's 2 updates

[velvet coral]

Oh

[minor kraken]

Idk

[velvet coral]

Imma look i to it

[viscid swift]

Let me put it like this then, where are you in the main campaign

[minor kraken]

7-1

[keen sable]

it's not bad but not good either

[viscid swift]

Right then, yeah you need to start pushing the main campaign asap

What else do you have to work with

[keen sable]

(I don't think so)

[keen sable]

~~nm that's hipper not blucher 🚮 ~~

[grizzled lion]

Should I add another spot fir ships for dorm floor 1 or oath or hold off?

[viscid swift]

right, get Unicorn from the Guild shop and start leveling her up ASAP

[minor kraken]

Ok

[grizzled lion]

@keen sable gems. 🤦‍♂️

[viscid swift]

for now run Hood, NJ, Shinano, Eugen, Z23, Friedrich Carl

[keen sable]

nm misread

[viscid swift]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips also give that a read

[tame jungle]

also get UR bulin for NJ asap

[minor kraken]

And new jersey?

[keen sable]

f2p don't use gems to oath ships. f2p may not use gems to expand dorm excessively either.

[viscid swift]

what about NJ

[atomic abyss]

NJ is new jersey

[minor kraken]

Misread it

[warm flax]

3 dorm slot and a second floor should be fine right?

[grizzled lion]

@keen sable no one said f2p over here. So. What would be hest with the thought of I might buy gems later on if needed?

[worldly pewter]

yeah double extension i guess 4 hours of delay

[keen sable]

not f2p should buy everything obviously? undecided f2p should play like the f2p they are

[grizzled lion]

@keen sable it's funds that would stop me from buying everything. 10-20 here and there is what I'll be capable of. But I'm already not f2p as well as I've already spent a few bucks

Plus I have plenty of campaign left kore more gems as well.

[minor kraken]

What should i change on fleet 2?

[keen sable]

spending any money at all means skins, rings, and other p2w stuff because f2p can get all ships and dock space for them. f2p is generally 3+3 dorm. 4+4 is ok light spender. 6+6 is like whale only

[viscid swift]

just stick to and focus on fleet one for now

[silk sphinx]

What you should absolutely NOT spend gems if you’re a smalla spender, as long as you’re more of a dolphin/small fish vs a whale: directly buying cubes, academy slot is a waste, random shop packs

What small spenders typically spend on; more dock space, more dorm space, double ring packs, and sometimes skins (especially during akashi fire sale)

You can also consider buying the asmr stuff since it’s pretty cheap, 120 gems a pop

Most efficient source of gems is double gem pack.

If you want some cubes and resources then cruise pass is what you go for

[grizzled lion]

Yea. I noticed that. What's this asmr stuff?

[silk sphinx]

Check uh was it memories? Well it’s called secrets in any case

[viscid swift]

secrets

[silk sphinx]

In-game asmr

[dusky cave]

I am attempting to complete Azumas combat data collection - sortie & accumulate sakura main fleet experience - and looking for main fleet and vanguard compositions/ fleet tips to help speed it up.

[grizzled lion]

So nothing useful as in terms of helping with power or leveling or building then?

[keen sable]

it's like watching blue haired waifu jiggle while whispering in your ear. wait why are they all blue

[viscid swift]

use 3 ships that meet the Xp requirements and need levels and farm W12+

that's pretty much it

[grizzled lion]

And I have the cruise deal bought and all 100 lvls finished. And got 14 days left of the shop monthly pack.

[keen sable]

you can listen to a sample but you can't watch the animations

[dawn hamlet]

is there gonna be limited furniture for the dorm during the anniversary event and so it's better to stock the dorm coins right now?

[dusky cave]

with one or full vanguard? i am trying to avoid the vanguard stealing main fleets XP from kills

[eternal basalt]

Yes, very probable

[jaunty vault]

every big event has new furniture

[viscid swift]

full vanguard obviously with oil caps, also don't worry about MvP control in the first place but a main fleet ship should be getting MvP in W12+ not a vanguard anyway

[atomic abyss]

full for oil cap
backline shd mvp anyways lol

unless they really suck

[dawn hamlet]

I'll save up then thanks

[dawn hamlet]

limited furniture?

[jaunty vault]

yes

[forest palm]

wouldn't say, "limited" they come back

[keen sable]

ahh to be new without 119k decor tokens

[grizzled lion]

@keen sable gimme 🤣

[eternal basalt]

Then only collab is "limited"

[dawn hamlet]

okay so really better stonk then

[grizzled lion]

I'm at 898 cause I bought furniture to bring the mood up and then realized I messed up 🤣

[eternal basalt]

You need ~1500

[keen sable]

It's pretty rare for any new furniture to offer long term comfort benefits

[grizzled lion]

@eternal basalt 1000 for the next expansion

[thorny basalt]

Is the bonus brest prints because she's getting a fate sim soon?

[eternal basalt]

Wait for it then... once the cattery is fully levelled you'd be swimming ib dorm coins

[soft raft]

🔮

[eternal basalt]

That's for DR (bar Agir)

[grizzled lion]

@eternal basalt how many levels is that? At 7 I think now. Just unlocked that 4th slot there

[thorny basalt]

Wasn't sure if it was announced somewhere and I just missed it

[minor kraken]

@viscid swift i forgot to ask what should i do when i get unicorn to a good level?

[viscid swift]

for the time being replace Hood or NJ

[silk sphinx]

The boost to lv70 pack is good

[eternal basalt]

15 https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Meowfficer#Comf-Forts

[silk sphinx]

Cruise pass for some resources

[stone sluice]

It’s the best pack in the game by far

[keen sable]

question your life choices whenever you think about removing unicorn

[silk sphinx]

There might have been certain gear packs that were interesting

[grizzled lion]

@silk sphinx got that 1 already as well 🤣 1st pack I bought

[silk sphinx]

Though rly all of these cease to be rly worth the money by midgame

[grizzled lion]

@silk sphinx said earlier I got it and beat that pass already

[keen sable]

p2w isn't really a thing...but the whales buy oil 15 times a day probably

[eternal basalt]

Can't even through the mail oil

[grizzled lion]

But I have 660 gems at the moment and want to use them before I do something I regret later. I've bought oil with gems before and really regretted it

[eternal basalt]

Wait tommorow for Anni skins

[keen sable]

buy dock space then

[silk sphinx]

Do you have 3/3 in dorm?

[eternal basalt]

Meta dock soom(TM) though

[keen sable]

still won't be able to stop yourself from emergency repairing though

[grizzled lion]

See. I thought that. But. Is it really worth 1 space for 200 gems? That's so low compared to others

[keen sable]

what

[viscid swift]

it's 10 dock space for 200 gems

[grizzled lion]

@silk sphinx yes I have the third slot

[eternal basalt]

You get 10 spots

[silk sphinx]

If so, then just pour everything else in dock space

[keen sable]

10

[silk sphinx]

Did you buy second floor?

[grizzled lion]

@viscid swift it is? The way it seemed I thought it was only 1 🤣🤦‍♂️
