Magic Knight Rayearth Collab Petition, before remake airs so Manjuu/Yostar can have leverage in profit talks

[azure prawn]

Sigh. Super feels bad missing out on the collab reruns, especially without enough time to build up a decent supply of cubes.

Really screwed players over by limiting it so much and not giving better odds for TWO BANNERS. Those of us with OCD about completionism suffer from being unable to obtain all collabs

[ionic matrix]

Petition to have the event stories remain readable (and the associated rewards claimable) up until the event shop is removed.

I never really liked having the event and story separated like they are now, but I've forgotten to "read" enough of the event stories at this point that I'm starting go hate them being separated. This is even more critical for collab events, which are still not guaranteed to return at a later time.

[cursive horizon]

Stop forcing me to download 3D Dorm assets to make these annoying messages go away, please. If I don't have someone (or anyone) installed I do not need nor want to see an ❗ that won't go away until I physically look at the furniture. You can see it in the news, you can see it in the damn store button. I should not have to install someone's data in order to make it go away so that I can go and uninstall them afterwards.

The only asset data I want to download is a loading screen selector that, 7 years later, we still don't have...

[mental rain]

guild shop Prints are outdated please add at least PR5 and DR4

[distant niche]

I maybe a minority here with this gripe - the previous collab event was too much for a old casual like me who tries to finish all events and collect all ships, including limited ones. I am hoping that if there is a rerun of the Alteir Collabs that they make it a 3 weeks or at least allow an even easier way to acquire the event materials for the alchemy. The 1st Alteir Collab was a lot already, but then they had to stack both in 2 weeks. Some of the players who are hardcore may have the time, but for some people who can only manage to squeeze 30m to 1hr of active dailies before dozing off to prepare for work or life errands I could not finish this one. Devs - please extend or make the possible re-run be easier.

[viscid moon]

QOL Suggestion: When a ship finishes training, give us the option, if it's available to just give them another of the same type of book for the same skill with one button. Since that's probably what we want to do in 90% of cases.

[hearty crane]

We never got this on Global's 2000's day anniversary
https://azurlane.netojuu.com/images/2/26/FurnIcon_2000daysicon.png

[edgy rock]

with the EN anni event starting next week, i assume we'll also get a 7th anni coin. can we have the port eating trophy moved so the anni coins are all aesthetically next to each other please? i dont quite think this depot order is a bug, so i didn't post this in the bug channel.

[lavish flax]

with this, why not instead just have the coins/anniversary items and such, the like tickets from valentines, all the letters and such, have it be placed in a seperate screen just like they did with the mail, separate from all the consumable items and such

[median kernel]

Please for the love of all that is holy stop changing characters. Let them be consistent across skins. Gallant, Montpelier, Denver. These skins are really egregious and it is very obvious they were not drawn to be those ships. Not even close to the same as the original ship. On the opposite side, thank you for saving me money by making unappealing skins.

[languid ledge]

I want to buy this pack every month too but I can't do it in my region, I can buy only gems from online official site, can you add a 10$ value gem option to it? I think sack of gem has the same price.

[neon pike]

I really like the 360 youtube video. Please make more of these, and put in more shipgirls than just two. Make like 4-5 sexy shipgirls in it, let us be able to zoom in too.

[olive shell]

Maybe add a notification or sound when strategic search is done or stopped

[spring current]

Is there a possibility to retrieve Hedgehog back from my account? I know its been a long time, but I kinda wasn't knowledgeable that it was thr only Hedgehog we had...

[hearty crane]

You guys forgot to perma add this for EN
https://azurlane.netojuu.com/images/a/a8/AkatsukiCamp.png
Probably since she was added during the first Royal Maids event, which we never got. Also, status on the 5 "banned" skins?

[obsidian spear]

New SHop UI needs a Dark mode its to bright

[kind pebble]

can we get a button to return old shop ui? new one hurts my eyes because its way too bright

[delicate lance]

can we get less scrolling texts please, there's enough space for second line in the shop
and less of these same word with no purpose https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/985158966780776448/1405595785374072962/image.png?ex=689f6695&is=689e1515&hm=fbb9d5e6681ae7bdcc8dd56be6500a79a6ccae1daba5ccd4156d26db387e5cc1&

[teal cave]

Please i like the new shop front page, but it makes going into the supply shop not as intuitive as before, i know the icon is just there on the left, but yet i would preffer if it had some icon on the front page.
Either change the lucky bag and gem purchase to use the same space, since the lucky bag icon dont even need to be that big, no one cares how the lucky bag looks like.
Dont make the event exchange any smaller or else people will start missing event rewards from shop, like they already do.

[south pagoda]

what is this? do i have to play on a giant F***ing tablet to be able to click on all that?

[thick hamlet]

Great update specially the new shop UI 👍 game becomes better with every new update

[cursive horizon]

The new shop is ridiculous. Why am I even seeing this when I go to buy something? I tap on something Shiranui sells and it should only say "yes or no".

It's like every update something is changed for the worse, one step forwards two steps back. The previous iteration of the shop was fine, why did we even need to change it?

[winter lance]

New skin shop is great, we needed the filters and ability to see all of the skins we own easily.
The supply shop new UI is a downgrade, feels quite a bit less intuitive considering its the shop we'll end up using the most and daily.

[hearty crane]

"ability to see all of the skins we own easily."
We've had that for years though, and the old version imo was better than this.

[lime plaza]

Can we get option to use the old shop UI please?

[fiery crescent]

Don't like the "modernized" look of new shop UI. It just barely shows you what's the sold out thing and the darkened icon before was better

[frank mountain]

+1 to getting an option to use the old shop UI. New UI is way too small and messes with my muscle memory, and you can't see things clearly both before and after purchase.

[random yacht]

Please give us the option for old shop ui

[thin shale]

Essex rhythm mini game could use some improvement , every time you catch a plane your HP go up while the only time your HP go down is when you catch fruits , so basically you never die and the game goes on forever thus favor those who are willing to waste their time playing the game instead of being actually good at it . There should be a fixed Enterprise HP bar on top that can't be recovered and she slowly lose it every time she missed the plane or catch fruits .

[compact heron]

The new Ui:

[south pagoda]

with new UI, Academy has officially become useless. we could access Canteen, Merchant, Lecture Hall and Tactical Classroom from the side button already. now we can access munitions from the shop. and Cats also have their dedicated button on HQ. Please DELETE Academy as it's useless~~(sarcasm)

[empty dagger]

I want the old UI new one is too bright like do you want me to play this outside with my lewd skin as displayed??, the shop doesnt default to the supply anymore which is literally the main reason i check there, and can u guys make a 3-10x books? the 2x seems kinda useless to me

[olive shell]

as someone with big fingers i find the new UI awfull please give a option to switch back

[hollow parcel]

New UI is too bright, if you are going to shove this in big UI forcibly and not change it, add a setting to change the lights of the UI, it is way too bright.

[somber sorrel]

+1 to this

[gritty flame]

the new UI feels like giving a new paintjob to a car which is rusting from the inside

[formal oyster]

Come on guys, what is this pixel sandwich ?
Fix it please, is a simple .png too much for the game these days ?

[sacred token]

please bring back the old UI the new one is making me regret playing this game, i don't mind fan service but please tone it down too much is bad it's better to fix the real problems instead of changing something that was already working
(can't believe i will complain here, first time here congrats)

[edgy rock]

I'm going to add a different perspective on the shop ui issue. It's scaled well for PC/a monitor. But it is far too small and crammed for mobile. There's been a trend where more space is being opened up in UIs, to allow more character display and just an overall open feel. This comes at the cost of usability. Take the attached Yumia screenshot. The home button is so small that it is more problematic to use than the reward of more open space. The 3D dorm home and settings buttons suffer the same. Please scale the new shop UI to better perform on smaller screens, or just give us a pc client where this issue is alleviated. We're losing too much user friendly interfaces for a false sense of game upgrades/improvements. It hasn't been a good tradeoff yet.

[cursive horizon]

Yes, I have been saying for a while that much of my beef with the new UI for different things, including the new secretary screen, seem designed for much larger devices. Phones just do not work with it for me. The entire reason I stayed away from the new UI was cause many corner. Buttons and some others simply aren't viable to me.

Unfortunately, they broke the secretary eye-button on both UIs so they can't be moved and instantly recenter, sometimes in baffling ways. Every time we get an update lately something seems to break and just.. never gets fixed.

[winter lance]

Alright, I gotta throw in another complaint against the new UI. It crashes the game on my older phone, happened twice. That really sucks.

[twilit robin]

Can we please have a practice mode? Where we can select a meta boss, to fight and kill without rewards?

[languid ledge]

Agreed, also new UI doesn't show "New" ship with a label anymore, I don't have noshiro yet it shows her as if I have her

[unreal void]

Please disable the Tech screen notification again, as it is quite bothersome to see it constantly active. I have no interest in upgrading the Cat Box Discount. This is particularly inconvenient because the notification always appears in the Guild Menu on the main screen, interfering with the Operations notification.

[hearty crane]

Level coin or oil storage (heck, docks can be updated)

[gritty flame]

as much as i love this game the design on the new shipgirls is... bad, quite bad, neither a naval vessel nor something remotely related to their faction, do artists even get any feedback at all?

[teal cave]

About this mini-game, im unsure how and if it could be done.
But it feels like it takes away too long, but still fun.
my suggestions would be:

• 6 lifes/misses and you out regardless of enterprise current hp, so you can break your streak at most 6 times.
• A speed-up mode where you can get 25% extra points per 0.5x speed up to 2x.
  Other than that there's other things, but that could just make the game complicated.

[upper coral]

The new UI in the Shop is awful

[slate monolith]

While I like the new UI for the outfits, the rest of it looks like they were zoomed out to like 50% zoom setting. It's like I need a magnifying glass to actually see what I'm purchasing on the shoplist

[shut harbor]

New shop UI is terrible. Allow us to use the old one.

[hearty crane]

+1 for finding the new shop worse than the old one.

[thick hamlet]

Let us display more than 5 medallions on our profile

[quaint lynx]

I like the new shop UI but maybe just change the colors to be a bit darker or something like that

[regal spire]

Okay. I'll post it here. Only on my phone, this is so random, when i built ships, when i end my sortie, when i end the battle, in "swimming window" just in random moments, when i change the secretary on main screen. This happens only on my phone (xiaomi 13t pro), but this never happens on my bluestack client (13 android). I just see this like months in a row with pauses or not

[strong drift]

New Shop UI is a downgrade of the old one. Either bring back the old UI or give us the option to use it.

[cursive horizon]

Instead of going on a lengthy tangent about the character designs, I want to bring up something that is narratively frustrating:

"The book was sent along with me, I open it and discover the pages are blank." Except we don't see a book, do we? We see a tablet. The collab event didn't have good writing, but come on... Was it too hard to draw a book? Isn't this the tablet from Zero to Hero the VR RPG story? That was really good, but this should not be a tablet.

Maybe the commander, and I am once again annoyed by being address by my username in game, should have said "Strange, the book has turned into a small handheld device." or something similar. Please don't call it a book if it clearly isn't one.

[queen magnet]

Please make the "friend request" global so i can add friends from another server

[cursive horizon]

Why is there no closure or epilogue after the story is "done"? It ends even more abruptly than it starts. I want to like the story cause it has some genuinely good moments, like the ancient ruins stuff or my continuously consulting the strategy guide instead of Massena, but things a complete non-ending make it harder to appreciate.

EDIT: Also, please stop putting me at the EX stage every time I go to the event. It used to remember what tab I was on a few updates back, the previous collab event had the same issue. It'd be great if it would work the way it used to again.

[potent cosmos]

Game performance keeps getting worse on all my devices. Slower loading times and absurdly long freezes

Thanks devs

[honest ginkgo]

I'd prefer the eye icon hid all visible UI elements, including the bright blue 'Wear" button in the bottom right. It makes getting clean recordings more annoying as there isn't anywhere else with absolutely zero UI intrusions anymore.

[south pagoda]

about that. who came with this "genius" idea? i've hit it 5 times already

[formal crown]

My God is the new shop UI so confusing to navigate. I get the vision but the execution was quite bad.

[cursive horizon]

The skins in particular are basically a huge hassle to navigate now. The skin shop previously was as close to an ideal as they were going to get. The way categories are handled now as switches to be toggled and you have to configure it every time you want to switch themes is like sifting through mud. The extremely tiny icons are not conducive to phone browsing, either.

[twilit robin]

If whale is an issue, can we change the whale into an elephant or something? Or change it to a water gun, please release the skin

[solemn sail]

web event is bad, please don't do web events anymore

[keen gull]

Is that possible to make the button in settings to have return to the old shop design?
The new design is really bad and contra intuitive, because it has gem shop, skin shop, items shop and supplies shop all together. And this makes it hard to overlook, because earlier this 4 categories were placed separately behind big tabs. Now there's a lot of small tabs without pictures and it's hard to find the right one without reading.

So it would be great if it would be possible to use old shop design, like it is possible to use old main menu design.

[iron pebble]

idk what a web event is but I agree that this type of event is terrible and I much prefer stories set in the actual world of Azur Lane instead of this fantasy crap

[tidal herald]

Hmmmm I want to suggest a different load out for pvp gear, it is a quite a hustle to change gear for different ships then change again for different content

[vocal verge]

I dunno, maybe I'm just getting bored, but the game, the skins, the events, the AI generated story's all seem incredibly played out? It's like there's never anything to new or innovative. I play everyday out of a sense of apathetic loyalty. Maybe it's time to put AL to bed.

[neon pike]

You guys can do better image sharpening than this. Nubian's skin appear to have rough and pixelated edges (very obvious around the hair) on my screen, and I am already running on 1920 x 1080 resolution. Attached Kiev's skin is for comparison. As you can observe, Kiev doesn't appear to have pixelated edges and seem to have anti-aliasing done on it properly, unlike Nubian's. Please improve.

[sour ocean]

don't do web events anymore please
not gonna be able to get the furniture cause it diced one 6 times in a row and it keeps landing on bushes
my main gripe is that it wasn't advertised in game and there were only two tweets about it that kinda got buried cause there were so many, hopefully it will become available during a furniture sale during black friday or something

[teal cave]

As much as i like the web mini-games (cute arts and ideas), i do think they are quite bad in terms of participation and leeway for rewards.
We had two that i can remember; one on last Christimas and this one in the anniversary.
The one on Christimas had the problem of being so far down on the events list and had no warning so people dint really saw it that easy and mini-game rolls was tied to in game quests.
This time the rolls are easier and only tied to the web page sharing/rolling each day, but worse than the Christimas since there's no in-game redirect to it.

For the future i would suggest that if making it in game is hard, make the in game quest be the ones holding rewards/participation, make it something simple like the check-in quests we already have for free skins/retrofit itens, many other examples.
As for the web game, make it just a fun thing, without limitations of daily rolls or things like that, or at the very least be really generous with the amount of rolls one get and dont tie it as daily visits/sharing.

[torpid vortex]

If only I knew that the web event had daily missions required to complete it........ either that needs to be advertised better, or the rewards need to be less "important".

[sonic jackal]

The browser board game should be extended because there was no in-game notification that the game existed. Many players aren't plugged into social media so were completely out of the loop.

[cursive horizon]

Yeah, I know I checked out the 7th Anniversary page a while back but it didn't seem like something I was supposed to be checking daily. Unless it's available or linked in the game itself, and isn't buried, it's going to be a whole lot harder for the average users to even know it exists let alone participate.

The art direction in the minigames is very endearing, though.

[delicate lance]

pic 1: can we have LESS scrolling text, there's a lot of room there, why did the icons gets SMALLER
pic 2: why does all those ships looks like it's locked now instead of the old "NEW" tag, also smaller icon, longer text, looks weird and ugly.
Edit 1: like look at the old one, it's so easy to understand https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/985158966780776448/1410660224024580117/image.png?ex=68b1d336&is=68b081b6&hm=e6443d12df74a4b0452476e292ab793a78bbd26c100247c40eb210df7564381b&
Edit 2: or do it like other shops
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/985158966780776448/1410660687096582297/image.png?ex=68b1d3a4&is=68b08224&hm=bee8d865cb2f177689705bfdb9c387305423b3c69e4c8c7a266cd178251eafb0&

Edit 3: now that i look at it, prob better to grey out the entire card instead of just the icon, way larger area to put the text in, also iirc that's how it looks on old UI(?)

[hearty crane]

How the HECK did you make the shop EVEN WORSE? Quite the feat.... just revert, for crying out loud. It's bad...

[hushed pike]

This, I miss it

[gritty flame]

missed the browser game, like come on, it's not that hard to keep it up a little bit longer if they didn't event have an in-game notification, how i'm expected to even realize

[slate monolith]

This right here is why the browser game and stuff was completely missed. If we had something in game mentioning it I'm sure it would of had a better turnout

[cursive horizon]

Been trying to put my finger on what was off for a while now, and it finally occurred to me that you pointlessly swapped the oil and coin locations. I kept thinking "why does it say I don't have enough co-" and then did a double take cause I was looking where I have always looked to see my coin amount.

It's like everything about this new shop was intended to make it worse. Somehow I keep finding new things to dislike about it.

can we get the option to return to old shop ui? its there for the main menu.
its so hard to find stuff on the new ui and its way too bright. i hate that its missmatched from the old main menu ui i use too

[lyric quartz]

Hello? I literally can't see how much currency I have on my phone. This new shop UI sucks, everything's so tiny, I can't see whether skill books are gold or purple in the guild shop, why are we being flash banged by the empty space Left behind by the tiny icons, the refresh button is on or next to Shiranui's leg, yellow text on white background is invisible, there's no weekly free oil pack reminder on the lobby, etc. etc. Just give us an option to revert the shop UI already.

[gritty flame]

can surveys last a little longer? would be a nice change

[neon pike]

Why do you guys decide to put the Seaside Slide under New Jersey's shop as well? This is downright misleading, and people who didn't know better would think that NJ can enjoy this feature as well, but she isn't available for the Beach section. This might even be borderline scam.

[abstract sky]

This. I wasted 720 gems and that’s a lot. 🙁

[true tinsel]

720 gems?! Nah man, that's just highway robbery! I could get either an oath ring or 30+ dock space with that.

[left chasm]

At least I am not the only one....

[ebon wasp]

hate break it to you but

[lavish flax]

<@&472236072743600148>

[cursive horizon]

I really wanted to come in and just thank Manjuu for fixing the game loading so we can cycle the factions again, but now I seeing the shop has, somehow, become even worse looking by having the icons be even smaller than before? And the coins/oil are still swapped when they shouldn't be!

[hushed bronze]

came here to agree with this sentiment

[formal oyster]

Will the oath skin be applicable to Amagi ?
And if not, why have you chosen to completely erase her out of existence for the benefit of a (lesser) reprint ? Why dissociate the two characters while you're not doing it for others like Type II ? Hull type seems a weak excuse, I don't see how it makes it impossible to have skins and in particular oath skins for both. Especially since there's no hull elements in the skins, only on the chibi (for which two chibi versions with different riggings could easily be made).
Applies to Kaga (BB) as well, although in that case she remained a side piece, she didn't completely replace the original.

Is it simply because UR = sells more ?

While we're at it, why not rename Amagi server into Amagi (CV) ?

Genuinely curious.

[blazing dew]

You may think that it's not that difficult to make separate variants with different rigging, but if the specific ship in question has multiple skins with the rigging shown, you'd have to have the artists go modify the sprite and then have to to re-rig and re-animate it or whatever they do, which takes time and money that could be better spent on other things. Future sprites for these characters would also have to be required to follow this model which would exacerbate both points I mention here (but mainly the 2nd one)

Additionally, creating another sprite with different rigging and the redone animations takes up extra storage space in a game that already is near 22 gigs even after multiple file optimizations

[cursive horizon]

Counterpoint is that there's a lot of skins/chibis without rigging and a couple of wedding gowns that basically have no identifiable rigging. Such as San Diego, New Jersey, and Hai Tien.

Trying to argue against Amagi getting to use the oath gown cause "size" sounds hollow when there is so many other things taking up room. Also the fact that you can just.. not download her skin.

I personally have only a single 3D dorm person installed at a time and none of the side places.

[loud axle]

Why must retrofit items be time sensitive when it comes to things like Elderidge, Essex, etc. There's no reason for a crutial item to a character to be time gated. it's worse if you miss the timegate, forcing you to be SOL for months if not years until the item is reran or put in the shop. This is bad game design to the fullest in my opinion.

[digital tapir]

We have existing examples of skins with different sprites that don't care about ship type, namely BBV retrofits (like Yamashiro) where the skin sprite is a full BB, without showing the runway, and nobody seems to say that's impossible

[hearty crane]

This could have happened to anyone

[ebon wasp]

I don't usually make this sort of post but I would love it if the devs remembered that CL is also a hull type and finally give us a gacha UR CL after 8 years with only 2 UR CLs total on the game compared to 13 UR BBs, 9 UR CVs, 10 UR CAs/CBs, and 7 UR DDs.

[frosty forge]

I have a google doc that I put in every survey of my hopes for the future of the game. I consistently am able to remove several things each time the survey comes around because they have been implemented. Musashi ASMR is the latest request fulfilled. Good job.

[frail stone]

Please bring back red marker or whatever it was on "unobtained" items. I can't see icons what behind. And as for me shop have too many free space while general item icons too small

[leaden void]

Question is Yamato herself come to the game or not, just curious?

[minor robin]

Yamato is not released in the game on any server
We dont know if or when they will release her
This channel is for feedback not questions by the way

[shrewd sierra]

Can we get a report system for really messed up PvP fleets?

Really tired of seeing this person specifically.
On Lexington.

[neon pike]

Please let us be able to retrofit another ship for the second time. Don't make retrofit ships like Sandiego, Anshan, Eldridge etc, only 1 per account. Make us be able to retrofit them for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, unlimited times. There's no reason to limit them to only one.

[knotty dirge]

Make a daily quest for the private quarters as a reminder to interact with it every day.

[winter lance]

The Yamato tease is pretty cruel of you guys

[neon pike]

Can we please not have the same hull for META showdown twice in a row? It's so boring when both bosses can be beaten by the same fleet, with the difference only changing the aux gear for your vanguard, and everything remains the same. This is so boring and make the ship meta so stiff, other ships that specialize in other hull feel so useless right now. Maybe you can also introduce boss that reduce BB damage so that Lion isn't everywhere. Make more CV relevant again.

[turbid jackal]

Thank You for banning NullGazer

[somber gull]

Less coomer bait skin please

[hearty crane]

Wow, you added a lpading screen, replacing CN 2024 I'm sure... why is there no custinised loading screen if you pretty much given up on adding any... there's a LOT from 2018-2023

[edgy rock]

Why is the story split in half, with the 2nd part locked for 1 week? Please unlock the whole story up front. The point of separating the story from the combat areas was for players to be able to clear the stages and read the story at their pace. Putting the story behind a time gate and not the combat stages is unfair. Those who want to farm can do so freely, but those who want to enjoy the sotry have to wait a week? Just revert the update and reintegrate the story into the combat areas instead. Please don't let this be the new norm for events. At least with the Atelier Yumia event, you could grind the mats to unlock the 4 story sections consecutively.

[dry smelt]

Oumi's skin is kinda bugged, the string on her right leg can get detached and swing around even goes through the whole model and at times you can see the full string comin out of the body which is weird, when you change anything on the left socks the right one remains totally untouched which is also weird idk if it was intended or was accidentally left out but if we touch one of them the other should match it as well, or it looks weird.

[lusty trench]

Would be lovely to be able to see what resources I actually have... You know, like you used to do, in previous events...

[edgy rock]

Please unlock the rest of the story before the 19th. This is such an asinine decision that punishes players. There are some of us, as few as it may be, who do actually enjoy the lore. With previous event formats, we'd have to wait at most a day for the rest. This 1 week situation is diabolical. If you want to lock the commemoration badge for a week, find another way to do so. Login in tracker, oil spent a day for 7 days, or just prevent it from being claimed for a week. The fact that half the player base can farm and the other half have to wait a week for the story is unbelievable.

[rugged spire]

Open Trial battle for Meta fight please?

[teal cave]

Im not sure why the threat level icon was removed, but would be nice to have it back.
And please fix the missing siren icon (skull) on the big enemies that chase your fleet.

could we have an option to auto sell ships from a certain rarity when autoing to stop the need to keep selling inbetween every few sorties?

[neon pike]

Can we please include Elite ships in this option as well?

[umbral gorge]

The new greyed-out, labelled 'Unobtained' text in the new shop UI is just confusing for everyone, since it's too similarto the not buyable/not purchasable option. The old 'New', small labels at the corner of the icon is a much better and clearer option.

It is a difference between 'glancing the menu to find the "new" label' vs 'scrutining the text for a couple of seconds to differentiate "unobtained" and "not available"'.

[cursive horizon]

It's not user-friendly and clashes with the way we've always been able to cleanly see the ships or other items we're able to purchase. It makes no sense to change them to be like this. It's a poor "solution" to a problem that didn't exist, which is this entire new store interface in a nutshell.

Everything is too small, too bunched up, and often has scrolling text. None of this is ideal or convenient for phone users.

Why does this looks so much better on CN... just making the tails TAILS... why we don't get that?

all that's changed is where the tail tips are pointing, Global/JP has them low to the ground while CN has them upright. In both versions the tails are still coming from the same place

Can you please make an easier way to access the ninja castle considering there is where the onsen is present, and it's also part of the main event that ends on October 2.
Either add it to the event list like in this image, or in the bottom with the permanent events, or as part of the UR event list.
And yes i know that you can still access it from the news banner, but that is confusing specially for the casual players.

[ebon wasp]

My dude, just stop.

"Sorry, but keep in mind that we don't take suggestions for new ships, events, retrofits, skins, as well as release order/reruns of old events."

[gritty flame]

a way to confirm devs have seen our suggestions would be interesting to have, something more elaborated than the belfast bot

[hearty crane]

He's got a point though, considering they have forgotten her... just like I will complain EACH YEAR about the storyline being missing since 2020

[twilit robin]

Dude it is half a decade. It needs to be brought to their attention. And it's not too much of a burden to ask.

[kindred horizon]

Yostar really dropped the ball on Yamato as what was the point of her inviting us only for her to only use others to talk to us? We could've had a rough idea of Yamato's form before a final, offical form appeared like Sovetsky Soyuz. The event and prelude event built up us to see her, but instead we got her talking through two shipgirls. The logic behind her not having a form is Yostar making excuses for Yamato not appearing in the game even as an NPC.

I'm really not liking Yostar using paper ships that should be reserved for PR/DR research. The batch of ships for this event is to me Yostar scrapping beyond the bottom of the barrel here. They look good, but a couple of them are based on ships that never left the drawing board.

[hearty crane]

Can we get story-amahara-stage1 back instead of story-worldα-brokenlight on the D-maps?
That music is SOOOO bad, It's zap-zap-ZAP the ENTIRE song, never ever getting a single break from this 3-tone "bass"... it's horrible.

[restive heart]

Hey Azur Lane team, I think it would be awesome to have an official PC client or at least a PC beta through Google Play. Playing on PC would make everything smoother, easier on the eyes, and more comfortable for long sessions, plus managing fleets would be way simpler. It’d also help attract new players and keep current ones happy, instead of struggling with lag, crashes, or emulator issues. I really think it could make the game even better for everyone. It would also help attract more players and improve plyr retention plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz esp pc heavy user. 👀

[kindred horizon]

The event was okay. I really felt let down with how Yamato was handled. Throughout the event, it was building up to where we thought we were going to see Yamato or at least, a rough concept of her before she does appear. However, what we got was a let down and some excuse of why she can't have a physical body. That was the greatest disappointment of the event.

You need to stop teasing Yamato like this or you could risk losing players.

[hearty crane]

Yamato has been shown like tht for AT LEAST 3 years though It's no surprise

[quaint lynx]

I mean we waited for soyuz for what was it? 5 years? Then yamato will probably be more

[hearty crane]

2020-2024 (Tone 2017-???)

[ionic matrix]

Yes, I'd like the change to have tablet sized (amd more square than rectangular) screens have the ugly black border bars on the top and bottom of the screen to be reverted please.

Not only does it look terrible, but it reduces the overall screen space available (one main benefit to having a tablet sized screen, especially for the main port screen with your secretaries) and it's messing with my muscle memory, since I'm used to all the buttons being on the very bottom of my screen, not a half inch higher.

Edit: I hope that the reason for this change wasn't to force more "standardization" between different apsect ratios. It can't be that difficult to account for a 4:3 ratio along with a 9:16 ratio and make adjustments to UI elements and whatnot accordingly. As I said above, the border bars are ugly as all get out and take away screen real-estate.

[snow bough]

It would be nice if we get new faction fleet tech update rather than just EU, RN, SE, and IB for years

[formal oyster]

Top is the artwork in the event exchange menu. Bottom is the artwork we get (dock/secretary).
What gives ? You can definitely put high definition artworks in the game since you put it in the exchange menu. So why is the artwork we get so low definition ?
And that's an issue that has plagued the game since forever. Why do you categorically refuse to release high definition arts for the ships despite the game being technically able to render them ? Or rather, why are you so inconsistent in releasing high definition artworks ? (because some of them are fine for some reason).
And here it's only for a default skin, but this happens A LOT for payable skins as well, making us pay for a pixel salad (I already posted here about Duquesnes' but this is just one example out of a billion).

[rugged atlas]

True tbh, some art looks weird in game

[potent cosmos]

pc client please. thanks

[hearty crane]

Going to spearhead many discussions here to come, but... Amagi oathskin ALSO for BC.

Can we get better at game updates. Having two server down for 8 hours during an event!? Most other games don't need such long periods of downtime.

[iron violet]

Stop giving us more 3D dorm, focus on optimize the game and make stable instead.

[blazing dew]

#gameplay-help is that way
Or if it's not related to the game, #tech-support

This isnt really a good place to ask questions due to the 6hr slow mode

[winter lance]

I'd like Le Malin to be the next 3d dorm girl, let us laze around with mochi.

[shell shard]

Can we get more auto battle options?
Submarines on mini-boss/boss only and boss only options, sub auto move option.
Pick up "?" and ammo node on auto would be a really nice QoL addition. It is easily doable, fleets picked up materials spawning as an extra node in the Ryza event on their own...
Also, I know they say no ship requests but...
Uranami in Guild shop / Merit shop / Perma event?
Why is this girl unreachable for years? What makes this Elite DD so special?

[frail stone]

+1

[winter lance]

I know that Amagi BB doesn't share skins with Amagi CV, but I'm still sad that's the case with the oath skin. Maybe that could be something worth changing.

[hearty crane]

These skins from the Microlayer Medley rerun where never made permanent. I noticed when Nautilus second skin was made permanet, but her first here wasn't...

[turbid jackal]

Laffey2s skin is wonderful
Pls make more like that

[vocal verge]

3 server maintenence during an event. What???

[somber gull]

Compensation for people who overcap this season because of this maint

[vapid plover]

This is ridiculous, we need a pc client the game is getting bigger and bigger and most phones cant even handle it anymore

[winter escarp]

I agree, if they want to make a PC game, make a PC game, this is no longer a "moble" game.

also they need to give PVP attempt compensation when they have maintances that cross too close or cross over reset. I get you need to have maintance at times, but when you make a game require 4+ hrs of playtime a day, having long maintances like this leaves a very sour flavor

[grizzled rose]

We need the doodle commander in island mode

[hearty crane]

He IS there, you just need to unlock him

[random yacht]

Is there a way to delete some assets of the game that we don’t care about? Like the island, the dorm, growing the weird little ai girl. The game size is massive and takes up so much space on my phone…

[minor robin]

Yes there is, check your settings

[neon pike]

Please do not integrate even more useless 3D thing that nobody ask for in the main game. If you really want to, please make a separate app for it, call it Azur Lane 3D whatever hell that fits, but please separate it from the main app. Not only it further bloat the game, it also add on onto the already LONG maintenance that you guys do every other week. NO OTHER GAME on this planet have as much downtime as you guys have, and it is absolutely INFURIATING that normal players that never asked for ANY of this have to sit through extension after extension just to play the game and never touching those 3D stuff that gets forgotten in just a week or two. Look at the TB project or 3D dorm, nobody even talk about them anymore, unless there's a new character gets added in.

Stop forcing these extra garbage down our throats, every single 8 hours maintenance that you guys do really put me to the edge and I am this close to quitting this god forsaken game.

[umbral gorge]

FWIW, while I am also not a fan of 3D game modes such as 3D Dorm and/or Project Identity, I am quite thankful that at least this time, you guys separate the game update and the island update. Just logged in and the game only asked to download 165ish MB, not 3.3GB, and the forced tutorial can be ignored.

Edit: Well, the small download size might be simply due to me removing 3D dorm completely or because I downloaded it at a much later time, but I'm honestly thankful for that. Not everyone is in a situation where they can access WiFi easily.

[turbid jackal]

please make a female version for skk in island

[vapid ocean]

Now you guys know how Canadians feel about desiring Maple Monarchy in Azur lane with how long its been. Both Yamato and Maple Monarchy have been teased for "years". Welcome to the club. 😉

In other feedback:

Yeah, this Island Planner mode is killing the phone. The phone is overheating, screen is burning to the touch, and even the battery icon flashes when you have it connected to charge. The mode is far too intensive on the phone (Samsung Galaxy 20+ versions) that it really should have been its seperate own mini-game outside of Azur Lane itself. I feel those behind it screwed up harshly, hence the belated release (from Thursday to Monday), and how the mode is still buggy. I have Saratoga cutting trees and she's also seen walking near the mines. Should have delayed the mode till Thursday.

When people say we need PC mode for Azur Lane then we 100% need PC mode. Developers need to actually listen. it's been stated in surveys as well, and elsewhere.

---

Edit:
Speaking of crashes, Saratoga chopping wood or diving into the mine crashes the game.
(In response to IlArcangelo)

[quick nacelle]

I have to agree, a PC client is really needed at this point. I'd love to play the new Island Planner content but it just continuously crashes my phone and I'm running out of space. I've already had to delete the dorm content. It's getting to the point where skins will also crash the game. Even browsing the skin shop will crash it if I swap between them too fast. In normal gameplay I'll occasionally get crashes in operation siren or the event map. Doing META bosses, it'll consistently crash if I've been doing anything else that session and I'll lose the attempt and any points I would've gotten. I need to restart my game to make sure it doesn't crash in those cases. I'm currently using an iPhone 12 and it doesn't make sense to me to upgrade for the game when it's working perfectly fine for my daily life.

[twilit robin]

200mb more update after thousands of device storage complaints
https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/1ntnxq3/honestly_why_isnt_there_a_pc_client_for_this_yet/

[frail stone]

We don't need second Azur Lane Crosswave. Island became too complicated and so unnecessary so not sure I will play this for next season. Imo really no need this.
I don't believe that I said that. But Ninja Castle have more fun concept rather than Island. And I hate autoclickers.

[knotty dirge]

This new island stuff is pure trash. It does not affects the main game in any way, it is just bloat that is taking up space. The rewards it gives are pathetic. Some stuff that gives 1 (ONE!) affinity?! That not even worth the time of clicking on it....
If you want to implement new game modes, do it in away that is authenthic and ties into the main game itself. For example a dating sim with the shipgirls that is giving stats or skins to the girls as rewards. Anything that is not an animal crossing knockoff with zero impact on the main game.

[blazing dew]

Sorry if this comes off as extremely blunt/rude, but you can just uninstall those assets if you really don't want to engage with it, and also select the option to not auto-download new assets for it

[gritty flame]

i mean, it's not only about storage, somehow they also expect people to buy things with gems over the 3D dorm and regular skins for this island thingy, that development time could have gone into literally all the other issues the game has

[lime plaza]

People are not mad that the new feature sucks. People are upset that development time are wasted on a feature that 95% of players will completely forget by next month, instead on working on other aspect of the game that could be improved or fixed.

[cursive horizon]

Like loading screen selection, a feature prople have been asking for since like 2018 or 2019.

I think the Island stuff is neat, but like the 3D dorm it feels like it belongs in a separate game or on a PC port. I actually like the TB sim and Island stuff, but it would definitely be nice if more time was spent on ironing out the bugs and other issues that've plagued the game for years.

Also many of us are still waiting for the horrible new shop to go away. When I click "shop" I do not want an overview of all the stuff, I only want to see Shiranui's shop and/or the exercise/guild/event stuff.

EDIT: and personally I really want to stop being referred to as my username in the dialogue, it feels really weird and jarring. Just leave them calling me Commander, and have that be the name used to designate who is speaking. I didn't choose my username to have me addressed by it; admittedly that is somewhat on me for being uncomfortable being addressed by name in games but it wasn't a thing the game did originally.

[knotty dirge]

I know, and i already did it. As others said, the problem is not the storage space, but the wasted development time and money. This 3d stuff eats up a lot of resources that could be spent elsewhere. There are some neat stuff in this new game mode (like including those civilian ships), but it was clearly designed as a time and money sink without any real connection to the main game.

They could have spent all that effort on fixing bugs and giving features that people really want. They could have spent on research, for the new shipgirls to be somewhat historical, with real events giving the base of their personalities, not just cookie cutter anime tropes and paper ships.
Or a proper new game mode that ties in somehow with the original game. Just imagine how ridiculous it would be if Call of duty got a chill, island farming mode. That would be just as disconnected in genre as our island mode.

[balmy locust]

or they got some of the people working on Azur Promilia to assist with it and had less impact on the rest of the AL work unlike what you are assuming

[gritty flame]

why would a company divert resources from a very big game in development just for some niche feature in their previous title tho?

[frail stone]

They're experimenting. Thinking that something like Genshine 3d games will be fine. But they just forgot that they have already niche in 2d games. Without investing in different project which ppl avoid for sure they add something like that. And something what I can't understand why they still trying to do that. While having so many fails with this 3d they still doing same thing. Anyway biggest issue of Island mod that this thing too separate from original content. And too many empty space between major points while you running to them. If I want 3d games I choose another game. But I'm here for original 2d content, for ships and mechanics. Just some thoughts.

[wet crow]

Coming back from a hiatus and getting back into the game

2 things that would be appreciated after about a week

1. Official PC client plz
2. A way to limit NSFW or opt for specific loading screen images. I cant let this auto at my desk while there is softcore shibari ecchi appearing every 3 seconds

[winter escarp]

agreed, REMOVE ALL this 3d from the game, i dont want to see any moe weeklies, i dont need this game to be a PC game, make a different game/ app for this crap. the current size crashes the game on any decent divice on top of things, make the game smaller! enough is enough! this is a moblie game, not a PC game.

[vapid ocean]

No. Island Planner should have been its own game for PC access. It would have done well on Steam Deck, Switch, etc.

[digital tapir]

I'm enjoying the recent game mode additions, but I really feel like they should be better integrated into already existing game systems and offer rewards and benefits for other parts of the game (such as unlocking new skins for ships/UI, main game resources, expanded dialogue, and/or statistical bonuses) beyond just basic missions (like the daily interact for 3d dorm and weekly interact for 2d dorm)

[lethal plank]

Speaking for myself I've enjoyed the new Island planner and the 3D dorm, it's a nice change of pace from playing auto lane all these years so I don't want to see it removed. The option to uninstall it already exists for those who don't like it. People complaining about storage space seem to forget this game is 8 years old with nearly 800 characters, voice lines, skins, voice lines for said skins, live 2d assets, etc. That number grows every year with close to 50 new characters a year. Only solution I can think of to ease up on storage is changing the base game art to a lower resolution and adding a high resolution download for those who can spare the storage, I remember Girl's frontline 1 doing that as an option so maybe it can work here?

[urban gull]

Island Planner is good for me, but I can understand those who doesn't like these kind of totally different gameplay that has nothing to do with the main game. Problem is, you were shoved the 3.3 GB update in the first time, and you can't opt out of it. You can only delete it afterward. Since this game has nothing to do with the main game, I agree it should be made into separate app that could be accessed with the same Azur Lane account (thus kinda linked it).

Now for the Island planner itself, it's very tedious and attention demanding. Currency is so hard to come by, and there are transport jobs that require items that's not yet available in my island / research level (so I'm kinda softlocked on the daily objective right now).

[winter lance]

I find the Island Planner boring. Gather resources into money into fetch quest into gather more resources? I find it hard to believe that someone enjoys this. I liked raising TB/Navi, but this new mode is a miss.

[radiant ivy]

who the hell thought it a good idea to put a timer on some 3d jump and run on mobile?! -.- and make it unskippable??!

[hearty crane]

You COULD skip the 3.3GB update... if during last client update you unchecked the ISLAND auto-install. Not many people knew what it was though...
My opinion? Really like the Island, just need to fix the many issues. Farming worthless, transport generally costing more than it brings in and no cance button etc.

[zealous frigate]

I don't know on how I wanted to state this but, if the Manjuu devs are reading this, please bring back the commission event. Like the one that helps us to buy cubes with the commission merits. There are people that may struggle to save cubes consistently, especially to the fact that the collab events were already getting frequent for this year.

Thank you in advance.

[strong jungle]

Please give us an in-depth character creation system for Island Planner so that we can create our own SKK. I don't know what you guys were thinking when you made such a barebones character creation with no eye colors, barely any hairstyles, and barely any hair colors. You guys have a good thing going with the game mode, but the character creation system is far from being what the game deserves. This is a top priority.

Thank you.

[neon pike]

Please do not include island tasks in the idle menu, or give us the option to turn them off.

[gritty flame]

where are we supposed to pull the time to do a collab, island and operation siren while trying to get some gold farming maps at the same time?

[sharp bramble]

It pisses me off, you can't visit an island if people who invited you don't turn on the island visit approval -_-

Because of that I hardly get daily supplies from other and of course people I try to reach don't answer.

Currency is hard to get, and your main source is daily requests and Peary requests. You can also get some from achievement. For example manually collect from the mine, the wood and the field 250 times give you 20 000 each, so 60 000

[edgy rock]

Please allow us to turn off idle screen island notifications, or allow us to toggle the research that gives us notifications on and off. There is already a setting to give us push notifications for island visitors. Clearly options in settings for island planner was considered. Please consider this as well. Early island planning is too slow to run all facilities, which would clear these notifications. Leaving this eyesore over skins we paid good money for is shameful.

[storm glacier]

seeds are expensive. And there should be a mechanics where you could salvage seeds after you convert them to something else!

[south pagoda]

make some synergy between Stats and Skills:

[elfin kayak]

Is it possible to implement a rising chance for an event-limited ship to drop when you buy her skin or get it by chance via skin packs? This event I spent 222€ and 460 cubes only to end up not getting an elite (!) ship (Minase in this case), although her skin was the first one i got. It almost feels like a bug. It never happened to me to miss out on a ship, and it is utterly underwhelming to have a skin for a ship with a relative high drop chance from the same event that i should have pulled by now statistically. Even more so when you add up the fact that I got even the ultimate (Hakuhou) already halfway to the threshold (200 pulls) and the super rares multiple times, including the one from the event-shop (Asama) with a lower chance. Please fix

[naive cobalt]

@twilit robin Please stop repeating same suggestion over and over.

[finite dawn]

Hi!

I liked the new game mode. Of course, there are things that annoy me because they don't make sense. But these two things in particular drive me crazy:

1. Why are tree seeds so expensive? We only get 8 units of harvest and the tree disappears IMMEDIATELY. In real life, we can harvest from a tree many times.

Maybe make it so that trees grow for, say, 3 days, but we could harvest from them 14 times with a 24-hour interval?

If not, then reduce the seed price or increase the harvest yield by 3-4 times.

2. Why is it that when we plant seeds on the farm manually, we get 9 units of harvest from each plot (so, for example, from 9 plots of wheat we get 81 units of harvest), but when we plant wheat on 9 plots automatically (using the "Farming" button), we only get 9 units of harvest for the same 9 seeds!?

[lavish marsh]

I don't know what I will send this but is the portrait grinding is already over?

[edgy rock]

Apparently yes. Since usually the portrait redemption is available with the shop for 1 more week. But I guess since this was a 3 week event, only the shop is open and the rest are closed.

[hearty crane]

With CN they allowed an extra week, but not with JP Both 3 week events. Same last year.

[karmic forge]

So I'm currently level 20 within the island mode so I think I'm a bit qualified to talk about this;

The game mode is pretty fun, but currently the major issue with it is that the economy is nonsensical and feels extremely punishing/stingy.

Examples:

• Transport tasks that can't be refreshed, often taking ingredients you simply can't produce, or costing expensive goods (e.g. 8 apples, when a single apple tree costs 1k and yields 4 apples, meaning this costs >2h of growth time, 2k coins and yields 40 coins when exchanged and comparatively far less valuable goods). In fact most of the time when I look at the rewards it's horribly underwhelming, and translates to pure loss.
• Cooking that results in food that simply can't be sold; any businesses you have will only sell very few times, and yield a pitiful amount of coins that make the whole process of getting those ingredients and then cooking them feel pointless; for the vast majority of items, other than spending them on daily requests, there's no way of converting them into currency gains despite farming being pretty expensive.
• As mentioned above, the sources of coins are extremely limited; other than one-time achievements and quests, your best bet are daily requests and quests, but other than that, pretty much nothing, as your businesses are ultimately either unprofitable or far far too limited in sales volume and profit margin. You accumulate goods through costly purchases of seeds and research that costs thousands, yet seem unable to generate much revenue from it.
• Some weekly quests are extremely difficult to accomplish; one requires 100 commodities to be listed, which is near impossible except for players playing very frequently and who rushed the first days, and another wants you to gain 400k coins in a week, which might be possible this week for a very limited few due to achievements and one-time quests (still out of reach for most), but seems completely impossible for the next week

[random yacht]

Please make farming chapters and opsi faster. Triple the speed. This will save everyone’s phone battery and we won’t have to spend a hour+ everyday doing dailies.

[twilit robin]

Dailies are blocked by carrots, which are far up in the research
Please make dailies manageable/accomplishable

[lavish marsh]

Thanks for the info. I was collecting resources to limit breaking them at the time. Date releases are really confusing someone

[twilit robin]

Please move 🥕 carrots into farming area, so we can farm more vegetables 🥬🌽🥔🥕🧅
Most would think that his planting area (nursery) is for 🌺 flowers and 🍓 berries

[viscid cave]

In islan planner items need a descriptin or something on how to get them.
I got a ton of requests for vegetables and fruites I can't even make. I stuck on research too because I need peach but I can't make peach even when I did all the farm research available.

[covert crest]

Quests need way more icons and tooltips directions etc.i have been circling this forsaken island for over 30 minutes for examole and I don't see a single animal. No birds. No fish. No cats. Nothing but the two NPC for the tutorial quest. Secondly most of my dailies and delivery things are locked behind areas I don't have yet and can't make. I dont have money for research because i cant progress main story or side quests because of this photo quest and everything else requires things i don't have.

[hearty crane]

#1422463299877867540 But just take a pick of one of the 2 NPC's...

[neon pike]

Please revamp how the meowfficer work. Allow players to reset some of their initial talents as well. You can fix it so that we can only reroll 1 of the 3 initial talents so that it won't be too easy to get the ones we want, this at least will ease the chase for perfect meowfficer instead of opening golden meowfficer box for the thousandth time.

[covert crest]

.......thanks

[karmic forge]

Please add numbers to the island mode. In the research menu i want to know how many coins i have; when buying seeds or making feed i want to know how much of these i have already.
Additionally, please make available a way for us to enter some number of seeds to buy; currently users must repeatedly click the plus icon, which can amount to hundreds of times each day (especially as automatic farming is bugged with yield reduced by 9 times compared to manual farming)

[slate monolith]

The seeds for buying at the orchard is too costly to the point where, I'm afraid to use anything I make in the orchard portion. But I feel like those threes should have either a collection of 2 to 3 times before being removed, or the seeds should be cheaper since the trees tend to be a one and done kind of deal.

[dreamy eagle]

Only two shipgirls for the upcoming collab event when their's at least three more from the anime that could have been added, that's why I'm calling this collab event a disappointment!

[hearty crane]

The REAL collab is in November, this is just a dissapointing pre-taste
V That cat can go into the ocean, we cannot

[vagrant sun]

please rework the repairships give them a seperate slot like the cv support fleet

[digital tapir]

Actually, I really like this idea. Instead of relying on retrofits/augments/broken skills to make repair ships playable, could instead incorporate them as a seperate fleet like submarines (probably limited to a single repair ship) and have that repair ship in that slot contribute to the ACV, make it's repairs available to fleets that interact with it on the map, and possibly provide cross fleet buffs similar to or based on their current skills

[lusty trench]

Allow the older L2D Skins to also have the oath rings visible. This feature shouldn't only be available to the newer ones.

[lusty trench]

Bring the old Cruise Pass UI back. This new one feels very basic.

[gritty flame]

i think they want to avoid naming places, it's the only explanation i've been able to think about for this stuff

[frail stone]

Nice. Good changes. Last one when we can't see ship pictures was awful. Thanks that heard our feedbacks

[obsidian spear]

option to turn off the ❗ this off i got no intrest in the island thing and i dont wanna see the ❗ everything i log in

[cursive horizon]

Agreed. I haven't been doing anything with the Island cause I don't have time right now and it's annoying to see it every day.

[paper sparrow]

In case you haven't found it yet, there is a cat on the dock you can take a picture of.

[edgy rock]

you can literally take a pic of the sky and itll count for the animal portion of the quest. with how much of a buggy mess island planner is, do you really think the devs implemented some kind of scan or animal database to cross-reference and check for an animal pic?

[quasi rain]

When will we get Royal Navy Submarines shipgirls?

[twilit robin]

please modernize shop UI, please show stat bonuses to entice players to collect characters,
which will lead to their docks ⚓ being full -> which will lead them into buying gems

[lusty trench]

Add a "Search" function on Dorm Filter page. Having to scroll trough every Dorm known to exist is not only tiresome (for the eyes) but it's also prone to missing what I'm searching for.

[zealous jasper]

add a option to create our own loading screen set

[random yacht]

Feeling pretty disappointed with azur lane lately. Have all the ships and bought many skins but nowhere to use them. The base game hasn’t been improved upon and opsi seems like a chore to get materials everyday. Grinding for gold and experience in the chapters take forever and is just a battery drain. No offense to the people who enjoy growing a baby, hanging out in a ships room, or doing fetch quests but I think it just overbloats the game. The game app takes up over 30gb of space and I find myself deleting videos and photos. There still isn’t a sfw mode where the load screens aren’t filled with anime boobs/butts/spread eagle poses. Too many useless weapons where we all use the same guns, torps, planes. There hasn’t been enough ship balancing, the power ceiling and floor are gaping chasms from the top UR ships compared to older ones. Bleh 😒

[lusty trench]

Use this option to allow the selected Secretaries to swap owned Skins randomly, instead of only rotating Secretary. (1st image)

The same way you made it possible for the Jukebox to be utilised to create a Custom Music Loop, use the Gallery as a means to allow the creation of a Custom Loadscreen Loop. (2nd image)

[hearty crane]

Did you guys forget Victorious skin?

UI Modernization Suggestions, allow us to see how much fruit we have - so we could know how much seed we need to buy

[charred canyon]

Also when I buy seeds in the island shop, can I please click on the number to buy and type it instead of just doing "+/-"? A bit bad when you need to buy like 30 seeds :x
Thankies

[visual island]

In 3d island, field crop harvest assign as character always equal number seed and that is pain.
Example is wheat harvest manual is 9 but 9x5 wheat seed assign only harvest 45 instead 205.
So please fix it

[twilit robin]

Mary hitbox is huge, even when spawning in using the parachute icon the first choice of interaction is mary, not the daily supply

[sour ocean]

would be nice if we could open the island smartphone while doing regular maps, will be a lot of swapping during events otherwise

[teal cave]

I really like the idea of bringing more Eroge/animations and ASMR VAs, keep bringing more, specially those that have hundreds of ASMR or dozens of animations please.
As someone that plays the game with sound for at least half the time, the voice acting is something i high appreciate, thank you.

[twilit robin]

UI Modernization Suggestions

[cursive horizon]

Recommend and Start don't match style and don't fit correctly. Hell, the "Advice" and "Start" underneath look better and would just need to be slightly larger. Should have just used Advice to begin with.

[finite dawn]

Why do we have 4 onions in our garden bed, but we only get 3?
The yield of trees/vegetables/fruits/livestock is still too low, it's not enough to sustain even the current restaurants, which only have 2 dish slots. And it's scary to imagine what will happen when we have 5 dish slots unlocked.

I have the maximum chicken technology unlocked, but I constantly don't have enough chicken meat, even though I log in about 10 times a day and constantly update production.

[green silo]

@finite dawn the trick is to switch recipes, the best isnt always possible. why do you think/know that we got 5 dish slots each shop? the rank seem to only increase the number of items each slots but not the slots. chicken meat for example is meant to be on the rarer side (which can be produced with transports)

[twilit robin]

Why do we have 4 onions in our garden bed, but we only get 3?
This is great attention to detail, hope it gets fixed or at the very least reduce the 3d onion model that is shown into 3 pieces

[finite dawn]

why do you think/know that we got 5 dish slots each shop?

This information is in the game.

Obviously/I hope this game mode will be constantly improved, and we'll eventually get a new level with 5 slots for dishes. They didn't just draw 5 slots for no reason.

I use transport jobs and avoid using chicken for daily tasks, but I'm still always short on chicken.

[twilit robin]

Chicken Meat and Milk Economy is broken. imho They should add eggs to pastry recipes, and increase the chicken meat and milk yield.

[neon pike]

thank you for not forgetting Uranami.

Now if you could remember that you haven't added some UR gear from event, like the Admiralty Fire Control Table, please do add it to the game as soon as possible yeah? Let's not make it a habit to put these gear in limbo.

[finite dawn]

I was deeply disappointed when I researched this technology. I thought I would unlock full-scale honey production at the Prosperous Plantation, especially since there's even a special place for it there. But instead, I got a grand total of one additional wild beehive on the farm...

1. Why are we not warned about this beforehand? Why do we only see the detailed description of a technology after it has been researched? I could have spent that 30,000 on a more useful technology...
2. Where is the logic? What does a wild beehive have to do with technological research? Did we discover some secret scent that attracts one hive of wild bees to our farm? Why is this only unlocked at level 26 and why does it cost so much!?

UPD:

I apologize. That was my oversight. There is actually a description of the technology before you research it. It's just that this description was hidden until you reach the required island level. I just really wanted to research this technology from the very beginning and started researching it as soon as the opportunity arose. I created false expectations for myself, but my complaint about the illogicality of this technology still stands.

Why are we collecting wild bee honey when we have a special place for bees at the Prosperous Plantations?

[hearty crane]

Aug for Royal Fortune?

[sullen condor]

add a pity system to non-ur events

[magic hearth]

Add a store for manufacturing things in Island Planner.
Maybe set it so that they can be sold for increased seasonal points in limited amount per day.

[twilit robin]

Please add an option to "lock" items

[twilit robin]

This pirate game would be great if your ship has guns and could shoot, like those in mobile game ads
The first pirate game was superior, part 2 should have been an innovation

[lime plaza]

I agree, bring back the pirate ship minigame. at least that one was fun.

[hearty crane]

That one ran twice, now this one ran twice... they'll have a new minigame next year

[twilit robin]

Please allow corn to be used as chicken feed (For those who also grew up in farm)

[regal elm]

Feedback regarding latest batch of skins.

I've noticed that this particular batch of L2D skins have had some flashing images (example attached is part Queen Anne's Revenge skin interactions). I have photosensitive epilepsy, but while this isn't bad enough to trigger seizure on my side, others might not be as lucky.

Please consider for any future Dynamic / L2D / L2D+ / Dual Form skins that is going to have flashing images, it should come with a warning. It wouldn't be funny if players get seizures while enjoying those… daring… skin interactions, would it?

[ruby echo]

Alright. I'm officially in the camp of this game needing a pity system for SSRs. Day one player. Never complained about rates. Have never been low on resources to pull. Just spent enough currency on the banner to almost hit 2 UR pities. That's just inexcusable in a game that makes its money off skins and not off pulling.
Give. Us. A. Pity. System.

[cursive horizon]

Meanwhile, I've pulled three Pearls and still no Royal James. Instead of a specific ship, I've suggested in the past we should just get a net choice of whichever one we're still looking for at that point. Sometimes, it isn't even the UR we're missing when that 200th pull rolls around.

[barren roost]

Tofu recipe is giga slow in Island Planner. It makes Golden Koi the ONLY restaurant that can't be resupplied with meal combos in one day.
The math is as follows: to make one Hearty Meal (1 Tofu goes here) and one Classic Tofu Combo, you need 4 Tofu (8 hours to make those), then it takes 1:20 to make Tofu with Minced Meat (2 Tofu goes here), 1 hour for Cabbage n Tofu Soup (takes 1 Tofu), then 40 minutes for Omurice, and 20 minutes to finish combos themselves, totaling 11 hours 20 minutes.
Either Tofu recipe could be sped up twice, or it's input/output doubled, but something has to be done, cuz Golden Koi, being so harsh on time management, is losing not only to a Teahouse, but all the other restaurants as well.

[hearty crane]

It gets it slot at 30 though, unlike all other restaurants, who have to wait much longer

[slate monolith]

I have to agree with this one, since tofu is one of the slowest ones to work with since you don't get a second slot for this until you manage to go down the right research tree for it.

[trail oxide]

everytime i open the game in an android emu to do the dailies i ask myself the same question, will this game see a native PC client before EoS?

[hearty crane]

Allow us to feed drugs energy drinks to our girls IN the management system.

[tacit python]

I would like a azur lane x arpeggio of bule steel collaboration

[frail stone]

Can we have some skippable mechanics for OPSI coordinate boss fights? This thing can be annoying when you have over 20 maps. For 30-40 second fights we have 2.5 - 3 min runs because this TB dialogs, 2 dialog windows ("high-difficulty maps, ar you sure?"-"yes","let's go" -"yes", ofc yes I already approved before!), 2 gates behind the boss (who needs this? especially when between them nothing happen), long animations (which nothing reveals cos no special mechanics except boss room).
One dialog before coming on the map and one room with boss. Less TB dialogs and especially between rewards.

[lavish flax]

there an option in settings to reduce TB dialog, gets rid of the ones in the gates to boss at least, but the gates themselves are unnecessary, as don't reveal anything, just make it so boss spawns right in front of you like the monthly arbiter

[twilit robin]

Thank you Devs 🙏

[azure rampart]

can we get a better system than this useless template system we have right now?
I want to be able to swap gear. Give me an option to force the swap and select who the gear comes from
or just force it automatically
as it stands it is completely useless as a template system. The only benefit is you can use it as a reference then go change the gear manually. If that is the intented purpose then just remove the "change" button since it is never useful anyway.

[turbid jackal]

pls gib pvp more rewards

[thick ferry]

Let us automatically clear event stage without requiring us to clear it once, as it is repetitive and time consuming.

[glass yoke]

please add the admiralty fire control table to the core data shop

it's been a year & 4 months since you could obtain one of these and now it's just lost in the void. we already have ultra-rare auxiliary gear in the core data shop, there's no reason to delay this anymore.

[hearty crane]

I will forgive the Island reset IF we get the minigames teased in May

[knotty gulch]

Will AL follow Arknights recent QOL update? That update is whenever we put 2/3/4/5/6x rounds on any levels ..the game only ran the level once and the loot drop is considered as if we ran the level as 2/3/4/5/6 times

[balmy locust]

we do have the 2x already, but getting 3/4/5/6 times would be nice

[cursive horizon]

It'd be nice if we could just get rid of exercises and have a simpler, less boring/annoying way of getting the merit points for spare bulins - which is all it's good for, really.

It's completely automated and some amount of luck/RNG is involved with it, so many battles are either free or impossible depending on your fleet. It's a massive pain to set up gear just for exercises only to need to change them back, which is another reason to want to avoid it entirely to do minimal effort.

Maybe just make merit points accruable via playing the game daily for a certain amount a week, so they build naturally just by playing the game. It can even be capped at X per month, since it pretty much already is if you win every battle every time period.

[frank sorrel]

I personally would like to suggest making it possible to disassemble augment modules. I get more Rare modules than space allocated to where I cannot craft the character specifics ones. And forcing to pay for the space is a little absurd even though there's only about 180 special modules

[blazing dew]

You can feed augments to other augments much like you do with Meowfficers but yee it definitely would be nice if we could just scrap them wholesale, same with cats as well

[twilit robin]

Devs thank you very much for the main game qol fixes, the practice mode is highly appreciated

[twilit robin]

Dear Devs can we please improve the season reset experience, I just logged in and all of my stuff is gone, there isn't enough time to farm for the daily requests and transport. I think clearing a player's inventory is not a good experience for the player. Can we please give some stuff as initial stock for us to complete at least the dailies. Or restrict day 1 requests to just basic ore and timber. The maintenance is 8 hours so by the time it is done, most of us are just getting out of work
Dailies and Weeklies should be humanly achievable, this is on top of main game dailies.

Edit @void schooner : Switching to easy or normal isn’t really the point, production itself takes hours. It’s not humanly possible to constantly manage it (For a day1 season reset), especially for those of us working in fields like healthcare, security, emergency services, or any job where you simply can’t be on your phone all the time. The design could benefit from a broader perspective rather than focusing only on immediate outcomes.

[void schooner]

Swap your requests to easy or normal.

Edit: Real life interferes with your gaming too. Gotcha.

[outer socket]

Adding the Admiralty Fire Control Table would be vital because the event that it is from (Vangaurd's) is already in the War Archives.

In addition, I'd like the Quadruple 152mm CL gun to be added to the Gear Lab, especially since PR5 Ships can now be enhanced with Coins.

[teal cave]

I'm a bit disappointed with what was given as compensation for playing the Island development mode.
Everyone regardless of playing or not received 200 gems (even though it was not a forced app store update).

And for people that played the Island mode got tickets that they would already be able to achieve, even those that wouldn't even be able to achieve it got the tickets for free.
But the people that actually played it and exchanged for said tickets didn't get any additional reward.

Everyone got 4x points from the forced conversion, i was already at 203.000 points and got an extra of 267.000 x 4, making it past the 500.000 easily.
I really feel wronged from this forced end of season, not because the rewards were lacking (we don't even receive anything we wouldn't already be able to get).

But because people that spend hundreds of hours playing the island mode for the last 1 month like me and others and have made suggestions and similar things got nothing extra from it.
It's like our hundreds of hours and someone that spent a few hours in comparison got rewarded just the same way, and people that dont even installed it or played it got as much rewards as the others.
Why would I keep dedicating so much of my time, or even make suggestions, help others in discord or even participate in the community when I would just be rewarded the same as one that doesn't do those things?

[stone garden]

they stealth nerfed mapo tofu, it now takes 2 tofu to make, the tofu gate is real

[hearty crane]

Already was that way, but Tofu-gate is still real

[south pagoda]

for Island planner. let us buy seeds from this screen

[viscid cave]

Island planner issue: I made a lot of farming before requests so I don't have to deal with farming if a request comes in.
It was not part of the season. Why did my whole warehouse is gone now? I have to start from zero and spend a lot of money to get back the hundreds of materials I collected beforehand. It was suppose to happen?

[hearty crane]

#game-news message

[paper sparrow]

When the season in Island Planner resets it should ONLY be the seasonal items that reset or disappear. Not things like milk, wheat, corn, tofu, ect. I was playing Island planner 10 to 15 hours a week and seeing my entire inventory get demolished after the reset was incredibly discouraging.

I understand why OpSi resets in this way. It gives you items that you can use in the main game and there is a limited number of things to do in it, so it is necessary to reset it if people want to rerun maps for items.

Island Planner is not the same. For one, it is self contained. Other than gems, nothing you get from Island Planner transfers out into the main game. For two, seasonal items and the things you make with them should be the ONLY things that reset/disappear at the end of the season because they are seasonal. Apples, milk, wheat, tofu, coal-roasted skewers, these are all things that you can make year-round. They should not disappear at the end of the season. It literally makes 0 sense given what Island Planner is.

[cursive horizon]

Why did you move the checkbox? It makes no sense to move it after 8 years, especially when it's not in an easier to overlook position. It isn't as though the game displaying them every day has changed...

[stone garden]

That red ! in the island planner overall management should really only show up if you have completed task instead of empty slots...

[lusty trench]

Moving the checkbox was completely unnecessary. It's confusing and I'm pretty sure no one asked for this change:

[snow pilot]

this probably was talked about a lot before but

we need more f2p ways to earn gems

especially since google play / (maybe) app store like to charge more than it should be for each purchase

[fleet salmon]

You ain't slick
We need a visible sprint button (better yet, make it a toggle), max speed could also be higher.

[lament parrot]

Unicorn’s Managing stat is significantly lower than expected, even compared to “all-rounder” characters, such as Le Malin. She barely beats her.
Her radar chart suggests she should excel heavily in the Managing role, but her actual performance doesn’t match this.

At level 40, she only reaches a B rating in Managing, and even then, just barely. (For reference: B = 80, A = 120. Unicorn sits at 90 at lvl 40 - which is low for someone presented as strong in this role.)
I counted all stats together, and Le Malin has about 20% points more total, despite being only 2 lvls higher. No skill books have been used except for one +2 on Unicorn.

Request: Please consider buffing Unicorn’s Managing stat so it more accurately reflects her intended role and radar chart. Her current state is simply underwhelming, and not worth investment.

[hearty crane]

This will never be done since the devs kinda like to make money

[urban gull]

Island Planner feedback:

• Tofu still takes too long to make
• Too many Golden Koi meals are using Tofu
• Only have two slots available

Suggestion:
Reduce the tofu making time or add two more slots, totaling four slots.

Characters:

• Stats still does not match skills. For example: Ying Swei have Cooking Expertise skill but her cooking stat is only 61 (Ranked C) at level 40, meanwhile her manufacturing stat is 128 (Ranked A) at level 40. People uses Ying Swei to cut down the golden koi meal crafting time, not manufacturing stuff on the factory
• Stats except the management skill are having too little effect. For example: Tashkent at Lvl 40 have 61 cooking stat (Ranked C) cooking strawberry charlotte takes 1 hr 6 minutes 40 sec, With 1 stat cooking manjuu it's 1 hr 10 minutes. 61 stat for 3 minutes 20 second duration is just too low and insignificant.

Skill books:

• This needs to be more easier to produce, especially the lower tier ones, the one we use for level 1 to 4

[lavish flax]

i am here once again to ask for the abyssal zones to remove the two gates in them, just have the boss spawn right in front of you that can immediately go to it, don't bother with the gates, its just an unnecessary thing that increases time and annoyance of doing them

[potent cosmos]

pc client

[frail stone]

Nice to see useful game changes like speedup campaign and event maps moving. But will be appreciated if same changes will be for OPSI maps. Thx.
And one more if it's not hard add pair buttons "info" and "formation" to other stages like meta boss fights, opsi bosses and guild boss. From "info" switch much easy change ships gears. Actually I still can't figure out how trigger ship info from "formation" switch. This thing still not easy and not intuitive.
I hope once we'll get better preset gearing system but at least for now this two buttons will make it little bit easier.

[clear monolith]

why ban "Sm" (small)?????

[teal cave]

Hakuryuu got her FS5 on January 2024, she was the last DR ship to get one.
Im not really asking for Agir to get her's since she still dont really need one, and if she did it wouldnt be a big boost.

What im saying is that, we get 2 new DR ships every year, yet 2024 only had a single DR get FS5, the devs dont need to follow the DR chronological launch date, some DR's from higher seasons may need it more than others.

Same goes for Augments in PR ships, season 2 PR still dont started to get their augments.
PR 2 was launched in 19 December 2019, and got their fate simulation on July 2020, it's been 5 years, some are away too weak now, yet no augments.

Monarch was the last ship from PR season 1 to get her augment on 9 September 2025, we got PR1 on may 2019 and they had already fate simulation on launch.

Will we really have to wait till 2026 for PR 2 to start slowly get their augments, 6-7 years after their launch/fate simulation was released?

When will PR3~5 get their augments, some from those seasons are way weaker than some from early seasons, will the game keep following this slow pace forever?
At this rate we will get PR4 augments in 2030.

[hearty crane]

The shop is really bad to search skins through it, but then again all the shops are bad and you know it, soo...

[twilit robin]

Dear Devs, Can we please add the speed boost for Operation Siren too?
We have been clearing OpSi for years and having the speed boost will help us a bit in clearing it, so it does not feel like a chore.
This tiny update but could **greatly raise our morale and longevity in playing the game **🙏

[cursive horizon]

I'm sure there's someone who wanted this, but I hate seeing it in every scene or during dorm dialogue. There should be a way to hide the "Hide 👁️ ".

[twilit robin]

Can we please have the honey technology, in the honey hives

[cursive horizon]

I believe I've mentioned it before, but when clicking on an event don't automatically send me to the EX stage every single time. If the SP stage is refreshed, take us there, otherwise leave us where we were on the actual stages. Remembering which of the maps we were on on (first three or second three) used to be how it was always done and I do not understand this obsession with changing stuff that didn't need fixing.. you know, like the damn checkbox y'all moved to a completely different location.

Also please fix the bug that keeps making the screen dim and never come back up if I click auto and it can't do anything - such as having a full dock, or Operation Siren stages being completed.

[fleet salmon]

It would be nice if the required resources were displayed on locked researches. For example, "Polar Bear Teahouse Slot+" requires 100k development funds and 13 Strawberry Honey Frappés, which require 52 units of honey to create. 9 days are needed to gather this much honey, so it can be a nasty surprise to only discover the cost as you level up enough to unlock the research.
Imho, we shouldn't need to look up those requirements online, when they could just be displayed in-game.

[twilit robin]

Turning off retire protection should require pin, it will greatly add an additional layer of account protection without too much cost

[twilit robin]

Can we please auto collect Map Drops (Blue Question Mark) too? Any player will prefer to play on auto, it would be a great QoL and the code for pickup already exists, it is not reasonable or doesn't make sense to not include it

[ebon wasp]

You do realize that those are done away with when you unlock clearing mode right.

[turbid jackal]

can we get more codes for like skins

[ocean copper]

At some point could there be some kind of method for obtaining Houshou's kimono skin. It was only ever run once and it was free, but new players have no way of obtaining it unlike other free skins from the past.

[hearty crane]

A LOT of free skins are currently unobtainable

[unborn scroll]

I apologize for such an unexpected proposal for the game administration (I hope they will hear me here), but I'm tired of skins for this year.

What's the reason?: I really love this game, I've been playing it for over 7 years, and I remember almost every development in terms of skins, in terms of gameplay itself (when Private Quarters appeared, I was very happy, as with this mode you can communicate with characters). The skins are very beautiful, and their drawing is also good (I really liked the emotions of New-Jersey in the last skin), but the focus only on "exposed and vulgar" skins spoils the game. Conditionally, the last closed and not откровенный skin with interactive non-perverted component was the skin on Formidable l2d in school uniform. However, after that came откровенные interactive skins, of which there are quite a lot lately (even too many, it can cause saturation among players). I'm not saying that we should stop releasing perverted skins, but for the minority that wants to see normal and cute skins on waifu with a lot of interactivity (old l2d skins are an example of this in appearance, but they have little interactivity compared to modern ones), I want more closed skins with cute interactivity, like petting the character's head (as was done with the old l2d skin on Amagi). Please listen to me and don't focus only on open skin design and откровенного interactivity in l2d skins. Too much of such content can also harm the game, because with only such content the game will be no different from other analogues, such as Nikke.

What can be added unique to the game that can give an advantage in competition: in most mobile games, such as Nikke, Genshin impact, Blue archive, there is no possibility of interaction with individual characters, but in AL thanks to Private Quarters there is such an opportunity....(This message will be divided into two parts, the second part will be after some time according to the timer)

[teal cave]

I really dislike when the original art is changed.
It's not about the girl chest being increased, if it was decreased i would also be complaining (more people would too).

It's about keeping the fidelity to the true concept of the character.

I dont really care about Date-a-Live, this is not the first time it happened, it's not with just Kotori since it's happening with other 2 or 3 girls in this collab.
The same happened with Yumia, and many others.

If making it bigger sells more, why not collab with an IP that already has big busted women in it like Queens blade or something else (no im not making a suggestion, the title is just an example).
Im sure there's plenty of IPs where you wouldnt need to make said changes, on the ninjas Seran Kagura this dint really happened (maybe a little bit with fubuki skin?).

If bigger is easier to animate, just dont be lazy.

[hearty crane]

If everything turns SR change the weekly from 3 Purple + 1 Gold to 2 Purple + 2 Gold. All these purple get scrapped.

[errant knot]

I don't feel like writing the same complaint again so I'd rather just this one.

Keep small boobs small. How hard can it really be?

[lavish flax]

dont know if its bug or not, but for mecklenburg, is there a reason why her special barrage, (the wing double swipe across the screen) doesnt freeze upon boss spawning in
every other shell from every other ship I've seen freezes in place upon boss spawning, makes so it doesn't waste the shells
but with mecklenburg, her wing swipe is where her debuff for extra dmg comes from
I've been seeing it that the boss spawns in, can't be hit, her barrage does not freeze, making it so that boss doesn't get the debuff, meaning she doesn't get as much dmg from it
is that intended for her bareage alone? cause again I have not seen a single other instance where shells go off unimpeded during the boss spawning.

[twilit robin]

Pressing back from a restaurant page, should redirect back to restaurant list, to reduce the amount of clicks needed (less chore feeling)

[ivory river]

+1
stop changin already established character designs, the proportions on that swimsuit skin is not Kotori.

I think I encountered them on 7-3 or 7-4 auto on normal while farming for Isuzu, 2 days ago

Tirpitz oath skin because Bismarck has one when will Tirpitz get hers?

[neon pike]

I have no idea how many negative feedback is needed until your HQ and dev can hear this but ALMOST NOBODY LIKES COALITION MODE, STOP MAKING THIS SHITTY ASS MODE INTO EVENTS, IT'S SO FRUSTRATING, UNINTERESTING AND ONLY MAKING THINGS HARD ESPECIALLY FOR NEW TO MID PLAYERS TO ENJOY THIS TYPE OF EVENT.

STOP COALITION MODE
STOP COALITION MODE
STOP COALITION MODE

Holy shit im losing my sanity writing this negative feedback again about this coalition mode. JUST STOP

[ebon wasp]

This is a terrible idea, putting a Raid Style progress time gate on event maps. It adds absolutely nothing of substance and is only an active hindrance to those who play this game.

[teal cave]

Again with this raid style event, it's usually fine for mini-events, but this one is not of then.
To add insult to injury u have locked the higher difficulty maps behind a server wide progress, holding others efficiency because they have to farm for everyone else without actually rewarding then for that extra effort, if progress to fast was a problem just add the time gate like we had in the past (that was also bad).

Coalition battle is not terrible, it allows one to use multiple girls and spread the morale comsumption around, the problem is not everyone raises multiple girls or care to do, new players wont have enough girls or gear to fill the slots on higher difficulty where it will ask for 3 or more fleets.
Using a single fleet "punishes" you with lower resource, be it some extra coins or event currency it's still bad to extra reward those that do use the coalition mode.

Raid events dont drop shipgirls, how will one enhance the new 6 girls?
It also dont spawn urgent commissions, so overall the progress a player can do during these events has extra limitations.

Overall i like some aspects of raid events but i really dislike some others it has.

[twilit robin]

This system is exhausting. Setting up 3/4 fleets across ~~five ~~ six stages turns gameplay into a grind. It is repetitive, inefficient, and communicates that the player’s time is not valued.

Edit : Plus 4 fleets x 1 more stage for T6

Players expect to reuse ships from Formation I and Formation 2. These ships represent planning, strategy, and real investment. Forcing repeated rebuilds undermines progression. If reusing formations is impossible, the minimum should be configuring three fleets once and applying them across all stages. Similar frustration occurred during the Letters from Valley Hospital and Atelier collaboration events, where players faced repeated setup without meaningful reuse.

That said, the Date A Live collaboration characters look fantastic and show how much care can be put into design when attention is given. Their quality makes the gameplay feel more engaging and highlights what the experience could be with thoughtful systems supporting it.

The fatigue from this design accumulates quickly. Each repeated setup erodes motivation and trust. What starts as a minor inconvenience escalates into disengagement as players perceive a lack of care and polish in core systems. Developers also pay the cost, with complaints and patch cycles consuming time that could improve the game.

In the end, both sides lose. Players lose motivation and enjoyment. Developers lose time and momentum. All of it stems from a system that could have been far more supportive if it respected progression and allowed natural reuse of existing formations. I hope this can be fixed in the future to match the quality and care shown in the Date A Live collaboration.

[lime plaza]

Why on earth do I have to SETUP THE FLEET MULTIPLE TIMES for each stage. Why couldn't you just have a fleet in one stage apply across all stages. You guys already did this in Hard stages. Why is it not possible here. Why is QOL never brought up in the first place? Why is this game keep taking 1 step forward, 2 step back. Is any of our feedback being taken into consideration?
It is just frustrating and tedious at this point.

[smoky tusk]

Am I missing something? These Plane skins don't have seem to have effects for ordnance/bullet deployment/firing.

[proud pilot]

Question, how can this be equipped on a destroyer? Was it for a specific type of ship?

[cursive horizon]

The idea of upgrading during the event is nothing new, I rather like it. However, it makes no sense to hide what we're getting if we choose to upgrade. Previous events would tell what an upgrade does so we knew how to choose between them. This is just a coin toss...

[lime plaza]

Certain German DD can equip CL gun. These gun are specifically better for Felix Schultz and Otto von Alvensleben.

[blazing dew]

#gameplay-help is that way for future reference

[radiant quiver]

is a weapon for Felix Schultz

[hearty crane]

None of it matters
Stage 6 V

[astral otter]

No oil cap on hard-mode so far?

[blazing dew]

It's on stage 6
Also why do people keep posting #gameplay-help questions here?

[lament parrot]

I second this.

Lately, I feel that every skin has been sized up v-cup++ art/skins. It feels like it's the same body type across the board - just with a different head. Please bring variation back into the game and stop focusing on making them as big as possible.
A good friend once said: Medium is premium.

It's completely fine to make them a bit more true to life, and not 2-legged cows. Please, I really want to start buying skins again, but for the past year, it's been difficult to find anything to my taste.
The current event and the "sized up" really was the last drop for me to finally write this.

Remember your playerbase has a diverse taste in looks, and focusing only on this one part of them alienates the rest.
And it's completely fine to make skins that are not vulgar. It shouldn't be beach season every part of the year like it has been for a too long time now.
I hope to see it changed.

[cursive horizon]

I think they did this last year, where we were getting bathing suits instead of cute holiday or seasonal outfits. The only outfit I can remember buying this year was Gascogne's kimono cause everything else feels like wank bait; couldn't even pretend to enjoy the Halloween event, just skipped through all the side stories for the reward items. I don't wanna see that smutty stuff, and I sure as hell don't wanna rent them, but the game insists on making me look at the rentals every day cause I won't spend the vouchers.

I can't even play the game in public on the remote, off chance someone sees those hideous ninja loading screens. Even if Soyuz wasn't almost naked with very realistically depicted breasts, the agonized look on her face is a huge turn off. Not into S&M, either.

[inner pawn]

how do i accelerate this decaying rate? like sometimes its reducing fast other time pretty slow like right now

[rugged atlas]

+1

[blazing dew]

That is a serverwide progress bar so how fast it depletes depends on how many people are grinding away at the stage at any given time

Also #gameplay-help is that way

[cursive horizon]

In a way that should count as feedback because it really isn't obvious that this is a collaborative effort. Especially since people will likely be blazing through the other stages with no waiting.

[slate monolith]

Yeah if this was an old Raid Battle Setup this would of been fine, but the room was having the first Five Sectors acting like a mini raid section was kind of a bad idea. I mean not many people can get on right after maintenance just to grind down the first Five Sectors. I know they did the fix for those who missed out on participating in a Raid fashion for those Sectors, but I feel like they should have only done it for the Sector Six only since that one was the actual grind fest for this event.

Also the setup for Fleets get rather annoying when you have to set it up from scratch each time. This is the reason why I'm not a big fan of events like these, since it takes too much time to setup two to four Fleets, plus the Sub Fleet, for each map. I mean I don't mind it if I'm tweaking said fleet, but building from scratch for each Sector is a MAJOR Hassle of sorts. Either we need a quick build where you can select up to the Three Main Fleet, and up to Three Vanguard ships at once instead of them one at a time would help.

[astral otter]

Overall, leaning positive with this current event, once you have your farm team set to go, it was smooth sailing with the ability to auto multiple boss battles....

However, getting to that point is quite arduous.

User Interface
The UI seemed pretty counterintuitive, if not confusing. The fact that there's one screen to select the team members, then another screen to arrange, didn't really help. Even when changing the team members in the second screen, it would jump around to a different team after selecting a different member for the roster.

While on the team arrangement display, the description of oil costs didn't make it apparent that it was total oil cost despite that screen usually used for selecting a single team through the rest of the game.

The positive sides of the UI that I really appreciate is the ability to stop the auto-battles. This is a fantastic feature and a great step in the right direction. Additionally, the fact that it denotes the current run number is great since I can know when I'll need to intervene without having to pay much attention while taking care of chores.

Rewards
The rewards seem to encourage the use of multiple teams rather than running with a single team which is a major hinderance for new and early players with a small roster while rewarding those with larger roster or the ability to spin up additional teams as necessary. So, neutral.

Characters
Characters, while not to my taste, I appreciate the variety and the design and availability of three shipgirls without having to dip into the rolls. Additionally, I like the fact that the number of shipgirls cover a wide variety of roles with hulls across the spectrum. I don't have the resource to spin them all up, but I'm looking forward to building teams around them.

Writing
Storywise.... What I expect from Azur Lane.

Shop
On expectation.

[hearty crane]

You still don't know how to change 20 event boxes in reruns, een if you can ONLY get 21 from the shop not missing a single one.

[teal cave]

Can you please never do this mixed coalition + raid event again.

• On normal raids one would spend with oil caps: 25 oil on each fight and 16 oil on subs.
  But would have a single fight that can be queued up to 15 times.
  And get rewarded 120 currency per clear (single fight).

• In this Date-A-Live collab we have same oil caps, but you have 4 fights per clear and can queue 5 clears.
  And you get rewarded 160 currency (30 extra if you did coalition mode).

• In the hospital coalition event you had the same oil caps, with 2 fight per clear.
  With 120 currency reward with 20% increased from the 4 debuffs you could use, for a total of 144 per clear.

Meaning you get using the exact same oil in comparisson in these 3 different events:

• Date-A-Live single clear 4 fights using 100 oil [cap]:
  190 currency reward

• Letters from Valley Hospital 4 fights using 100 oil [cap], total of 2 clears:
  288 currency reward (240 if you dont use any debuff)

• CNY usual raids, 4 fights using 100 oil [cap], total of 4 clears:
  480 currency reward

The major difference being in these events they dont have an event shop, but they still have a milestone reward just like a normal event would.
This could be a plus side, but on a normal event you have SP map giving you 800 daily from a single clear, 11.200 currency easily obtained through 14 days.

And D3 maps or equivalent in these events drop 180 currency without needing coalition mode.
180 currency per 6 fights + boss, but you get urgent comissions, ship drops and the SP/EX maps.

PLEASE NO MORE OF THIS MIXED RAID COALITION.

[grizzled rose]

I have a few pain points regarding fanservice in AL lately as of 2025

• too much fanservice in default skins. Yes, I believe that is a problem, that there can be too much of a good thing, since it distracts from serious storylines or scenes, such as Raffaello in the recent JP anniversary PV. Things that I disike include thin boob ribbons like Alsace, or leotards without any coat or jacket that can plausibly hide it. In my opinion, lewdness is best distributed in paid skins while base outfits are more "moderate" in their lewdness. Moderate to me being cleavage or underboob or sideboob while still being half-adequate chest covering, side vents, and miniskirts, but otherwise "plausible" enough (very loosely) that it doesn't distract too much when a character is in a serious scene. Refer to the CG of Musashi in the 2024 JP UR event storyline.
• dearth of medium chested characters; I noticed that most of the recent destroyers have massive breasts, like Z52, Mogador, Gallant, and Trafalgar, except for Le Hardi who is instead a loli which is not my cup of tea either. I think we need more medium chests because they are premium, in the range of Allen M Sumner or Denver or Noshiro. A little smaller is fine too, such as Suzutsuki or Cooper. It is perfectly viable for them to be added alongside larger chested characters, this argument can apply for non DDs. I think the double UR pattern is good for experimenting with different chest sizes for UR ships. One can have big breasts, while the other can be the less busty one, a similar dynamic to Guam and Laffey II back in 2023.
• We need more tomboys and "rough" girls, or "cute" girls. How many this year did I remember either way? Lion (albeit more elegant about roughness) for "rough"? And for cuteness, Taekaze? Miller? Sante Fe? Gallant? Z13? Mecklenburg? Donskoi? Le Hardi? Surely there should be more out of all the girls we received so far, especially more rough-and-tumble characters

Dorm - Please remember the last used skin option

[turbid jackal]

can pvp be pvp and not EvE

[cursive horizon]

This is wholly unnecessary. Having to go in and tap on the gem gift cause it won't stop hounding me otherwise. You can't even do it from the general tab, it only shows up in the shipgirl tabs unless you've bought the flowers and I don't even always buy this cause during events coins are busy for pulls.

Auto search can get the question mark

No ammo and questions for Chapter 8 and below

[cursive horizon]

We have the ability install/delete certain assets at any time, specifically the Island and Dorms. However, I would like the ability delete L2D assets if I were to accidentally click the preview button (or do it for a rental but don't buy it afterwards). I do have a number of L2D skins such as Formidable school outfit and it's be nice to only download the L2D's I actually own.

Why is the ship moving backwards? Look at the windows. The environment should be moving from left to right, instead of right to left, to show the motion of the ship moving forward, as indicated from the crew facing left side. Please fix this, this is literally unplayable.

Well, clearly the front of the ship is the NE corner of the screen.

when filtering in dockyard, have an option to sort truely, don't force ships in fleets to be at the very top, or just make it so it won't do it in the first place
have them be show where they would truely be, like sorted by FP, i don't want to see the elite ships at the very top of the list
it defeats the purpose of filtering if have doesn't show truely who is one at the top of that filter option

Fast Travel QoL

Daily Supply Friend Visit and the time spent developing house furniture personalization needs to be improved to not be forgotten.
The amount of time and code on the customized house will be wasted if players would not use it.

When visiting a friend, Nobody wants to walk a mile to get 1 piece of coal, 5 times a day

Spawn the player on the helipad to get the friend's daily supply. The drawback is that the players will leave as soon as they get their stuff.

Spawning near the friend's house and helipad should be the middle ground, but the drawback is that it has its risks with crashing. Some customized houses do not crash. It has to be some furniture, on some phone or emulator.

In gear skins, why is Yoshinon dropped as bombs by Zafkiel's Gear (Kurumi) instead of Zadkiel's Hailstorm (Yoshino)?

[zealous jasper]

Add 1 oath ring into the cruise pass, it would seem fair spending money on the pass then

[native pond]

Move all time-limited commissions back to the Urgent section. It is very uncomfortable to have them at the main page, with all regular commissions.

[lime plaza]

From my experience so far, I feel like it already fine as it is, as the time-limited commission on the daily tab is different from the urgent commission. Separating the two commission tab allows players to instantly know that the the timed on the daily tab will expire within 12 hour after reset, thus allowing players to better prioritise and plan around the urgent commission.

[hearty crane]

24h for "night commissions" when? Think of us EU players...

[teal cave]

Would be possible to re-work the OpSi loggers to instead of targeting a specific map they all stack as a general C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 logger, and then the player select a map where he wants to use it, and they are consumed after entering the map?

This way it would be possible to also implement multiplying rewards according to the amount of loggers used, maybe allow up to 5 to be used at once.

Also something about the normal farming, maybe allow usage of 2x AP or 3x AP for multiplied rewards.

And dont forget the speed-up mechanic that would be nice to have it there too.

OpSi is quite slow and boring in many ways.

Please don't show the voting results until voting period ends

Hiding vote scores until the voting period ends helps keep the results fair and reduces bias. Here are the main reasons:

1. Prevents bandwagon behavior : When people see a leading option, they often follow it even if they originally preferred something else. Hiding scores keeps choices independent.

2. Reduces strategic voting : Some voters choose options not because they want them, but to counter-balance another option that’s winning. If nobody sees the current results, this kind of manipulation becomes harder.

3. Encourages honest participation : People vote based on their true preference rather than what looks popular or unpopular at the moment.

4. Avoids early discouragement : If someone sees their preferred choice is losing badly, they might lose motivation to vote. Keeping scores hidden helps maintain turnout.

5. Prevents last-minute vote swings : Visible results invite reactive behavior near the deadline panic voting, mass switching, or coordinated pushes. Hidden scores avoid that chaos.

6. Keeps the focus on the content, not the momentum : Especially in community polls or contests, the discussion stays centered on quality instead of numbers.

[hearty crane]

We've said that since 2019, they just wont listen

[cursive horizon]

Yeah, I was going to say something about how horribly rigged and railroaded the voting is. I'm not even sure we should be giving people hundreds of votes a day, either. And there's now the chance that a ship will just get a skin at the last moment and turn the whole vote on its heads.

can we please not limit these weapon blueprints to only 20 per months? it literally make no sense since rainbow is 50/50 unlimited purchase. why time gate player to 20 monthly only for them to buy the remaining 5 on the next month? this time gate is cringe and doesn't elevate the gaming experience at all. forced time gate is bad, and you learned it by having events map C and D unlocked on day 1 now, so these weapon blueprints should follow suit too.

Sell DR ship catch up completion packs in akashi's store for gems for previous seasons (by that i mean all the prints to dev 30 and leftover for fate sim 5 in total) it takes too long for me to catch up old seasons, im like 3 seasons behind and i cant even pay to skip old DR ships yet

Queen Elizabeth is present in a lot of events, yet her art is on the outdated side. Please give her a retrofit.

[orchid osprey]

Tbh they could just use the one on the loading screen and I'd be fine with it

[edgy rock]

Please stop locking story cutscenes behind timegates or currencies. There have been far too many of this starting around the Yumia Collab. It is painfully annoying, alienates part of the community, adds confusion (#tech-support message see this recent issue regarding "Memories in Echo"), risks spoiling the story (global anniversary had this issue where combat stage enemies revealed who was involved in the story before the timegated half was released), and serves no primal function. An event with a Commemorative trophy could still be completed with a timegated story because the first part would count for the trophy. So either that was a bug (which was pointed out and NOT addressed) or the point remains that timegating the story serves no purpose. You removed the timegate for event stages B and D, and long it the story. Since the story heavily ties into the event map and which shipgirls we get, timegating the story makes no sense. Please stop with the timegated/currency gated/restricted story (yes, there are some of us who feel this strongly about it).

On the trello, the "change/edit loading background screens" suggestion under General has more than 130 upvotes (!), please consider this item.

On Avrora, some loading screens (e.g. Owari ) are still in the rotation for more than one year now.

[broken apex]

That is a great, elegant skin! Really beautiful.

[cursive horizon]

We really need to go back to the idea of shipgirls having actual uniforms and otherwise reasonable outfits for their default/normal designs. Lexington looks like she's wearing a party/evening dress, Cowpens is clearly a counterpart to Fargo's bizarre milk skin, and Pasadena shares the problem of other recent shipgirls in that she's essentially out of uniform by basically just wearing undergarments.

Cleveland META and Maury Retrofit are fine, and although I think Porter's.. posing looks weird, she is pretty much in a variation of Bache's outfit... if you can call that uniform and not a Working Gal themed outfit. Something about her reminds me of Shimakaze from Kantai Collection.

But the point still stands that we're getting too many "this is just a skin" designs for their default and it doesn't feel right. We can't really tell faction or class from their designs anymore, sometimes you can't even tell what kind of shipgirl they are. It is nice to see an overall increase in facial expressions cause that allows for more emotional range in the stories, but as someone was mentioning Elizabeth a while back we genuinely don't have that for some of the older shipgirls. Many of the "generation 1" shipgirls back when the game released have little to no facial expressions.

There's also a strange lack of consistency, seeing the older retrofit girls next to Essex Retrofit in the recent Helena META event really drives that home; she looks very out of place compared to the rest of them. Also, Lexington losing the little smokestack/idol theme that she and Saratoga shared is quite sad.

[young junco]

In Lexington II's defense, her outfit is meant to embody her transformation from an idol to that of a stage singer (think Whitney Houston) while embracing her nickname as the core of her theme, which is the "Blue Ghost". We can see this with her performative looking blue dress, and her white coat flowing like that of a ghostly vestige.

Putting her on a uniform could work but I'd imagine it'd be much harder to pull off. So leaning into her singer identity is much more efficient for design as it avoids those hoops altogether.

[glass yoke]

Stop making every shipgirl's base art into mid gooner bait; i want naval uniforms and actual outfits that women would wear outside, not just as much skin as possible. Ships that are in actual outfits (pants, casual - please no more poorly designed leotards with thigh-highs.) are your most popular characters for a reason.

And stop making shipgirls have giant tits / thighs in newer skins when they clearly don't in their baseskins (Montpelier & Neptune as two examples.) Not every character needs a giant chest and as little clothing as possible, you already do that with new shipgirls (Gouden Leeuw having a giant chest with see-through clothes and nothing underneath).

[twilit robin]

Guys I have this crazy idea about skins.

What is the problem?

1. Non lewd players like classy dresses and clothing. They hate the current state of skins, and are quitting.
2. Lewd players love as little clothing as possible and the most degenerate voice, gestures and poses.
3. The company, YoStar or Manjuu, has limited time, money and energy for bookings on a japanese voice actress. Since lewd skins sell more, it is only natural to make lewd skins.

What do you propose?

***Enter L2D Elegance ***

This skin tier is not a class above, or below L2D or L2D+. It is a different skincategory on its own.
Almost like a limited edition thing.

If you've played Honey Select 1 or 2, you can start with a girl fully clothed.
The skin starts out with the ship girl fully clothed, that you can strip down.
This keeps a shipgirl covered for those who want it, and lewd for those who do not want it.

But Doesn't L2D+ Dual Form Already Cover that?
Dual form is two stages. L2D Triple Plus adds a fully clothed level, before the L2D+ Dual form.
Since it is 3 skins in one it should cost more say around 1900+ gems

In Snowbreak they had a divide of people that the game should be tactical and the outfits not be lewd.
Game almost died, Lewd saved the day. Not saying this will happen in Azur but I think that money speaks.

But what if there is a middle ground option that could satisfy both audiences? Would be a cool experiment.

Just further rambling on but I remember a time maybe a year back I was watching CAWD-567 one night. I never knew I like the combination of a shirt and sneakers and socks. I felt like spiderman my spiderweb reached up the ceiling. Had to get a telescopic mop to clean the mess. My spidersense is tingling right now thinking about it.

Also can we please have more lacy underwear designs? Bunny outfits are great but the classics are good as well

[vocal verge]

WTH!

[fair parcel]

It's not a bad idea honestly, just whether doing that for an 7-8 year old game is worth it to them. Most gacha's don't even last this long, those that do just coast to the finish.

Hey, I like lewd just like you. I ain't hating.

[cursive horizon]

There's also games like Arknights which is quite successful and doesn't appear to cater to the lewd crowd to the degree you see in other gachas. It also appears to have a ton of writing and story stuff, probably way more than Azur Lane at this point.

Please align your new UR ships with META showdown, so that new UR will have use against the new META showdown bosses. Otherwise new UR sounds very uninteresting, where old players have no place to use them, because everything is so overkilled with existing UR.

Make a change, make new UR the best in slot for META showdown bosses, like how Z52 improved Taihou META.

[delicate lance]

Can we see more details about skills ingame, like the barrage dmg. Summons stats etc. thanks

[teal cave]

Can you implement a way to delete specific shipgirl voices so when you play with sound you dont need to hear certain shipgirls, a mute toggle on each ship would be fine too.

And also a way to blackout / hide the splash art of a shipgirl and in a way it dont conflict with lore / story where said shipgirl appear the way albacore was censored on KR would be good as a toggle on every single shipgirl.

Also this toggle would make possible to not call splash arts when an Air strike or Battleship salvo happens.

[cursive horizon]

What in the hell is this title screen?! Yorktown does not look like that! Those are practically Kashino sized! This is a disgusting insult to Yorktown and frankly Lexington as well.

Shouldn't need to see this smut on the title screen. It's gonna be damn near impossible to enjoy what should be a great story with the likes of Cowpens and Pasadena looking like they do. It's Trafalgar's dumb outfit ruining the cutscenes all over again...

EDIT: "Grew up?" They're already adults. Making their boobs bigger and having them wear lewd outfits isn't character development, either. Also, art styles are allowed to change but a character's look should remain consistent.

Hello devs. Friendly reminder that very early this year, you informed players that there will be Gear Labs updates every July (or June?) and December going forward. We are 20 days into December and there has been no info about anything Gear Labs related.

[cursive horizon]

We're getting so many META ships and every one of them requires the Reload parts. Either make it easier to obtain them or allow us to convert the unneeded parts to be Reload ones. Alternatively stop making us use exponentially mote and more with each tap of the upgrade. Only use 6-8 parts every time, instead of 12 or 16+ each.

We've gotten so many METAs this year alone since they've become more common in events, there just isn't enough time to get more from Operation Siren or the META shop. I've run out of only those parts repeatedly this year.

The events that allow using 10 skill books a day should also come with a means to earn skillbooks. Like above, there isnt enough red.

For example, when I purchase 10 purple bulin from medal shop, I don't need to see it 10 times and I have to click through each of them. We know what we're buying and getting, so please add a skip button for them. they are useless for us to click through.

I just started reading the story of the current event and it's exhausting how its this constant alter reality fuckery going on. Ground the story further.

'HDR' feature aka 'Bloom' in 3D Dorm and Island Management thingy is extremely overblown to a point a skin is shining as source of light. Turning it off helps, but the image becomes way darker in comparison to entire 'Post Processing' setting being turned off. Can you lads look into adjusting the bloom intensity or at least making it more bearable?

Petition for default casual and sleepwear outfits for each dorm character, to make things consistent and uniform
Sirius and Noshiro really needs their sleepwear outfit (As a guy on the lewd camp they feel severely powercrept)
Anchorage, NJ, Taihou and Agir needs their casual outfit

[cursive horizon]

There is something very off about Taihou's body proportions, I think her waist/stomach is too slender compared with the rest of her body, and Anchorage has the same problem. Meanwhile, when I did that phonecall with Agir I couldn't stop noticing how her body just "resets" back into place very jarringly after an animation; it's not fluid movement at all when she move back to her starting position.

[hearty crane]

So much these. I am tired of simply keeping those damn coal and wood up. Free points,but worth my SANITTYYYYYYY?

[hearty crane]

Feedback since I don't think I will take this mode much longer (edit: lvl 40, I'm done), these past couple of days I barely started it, and dreaded starting it... here follows why and if you want to keep people playing more than 1 season I suggest some changes.

[sleek herald]

Remove the warning in Operation Siren when you're using AP packs in the last two days before the monthly reset that the points will be wasted because it will be resetting soon. There is absolutely no reason to be trying to discourage players from using their AP packs. AP packs do not give any vouchers upon monthly reset and there is zero reason to hold onto the points. The warning makes it seem like players should not use their AP before the monthly reset which is exactly the opposite of what they should be doing.

[lusty trench]

Here's a suggestion that will, probably, never be heard: Surveys should have their word limit increased or have no word limit at all. Not only Microsoft Word counted 1275 words in total (not even half of the 3000 limit) but I also missed some crucial suggestion points thanks to that!

[neon pike]

I think it's about time you guys revamp the beginning part of operation siren. it's not fun, and the puzzles are all uninteresting and provide no benefit for players other than slogs. In the end players either watch youtube guide or wait for TB to solve the puzzle anyway, it's just a total waste of time for everyone. Just simplify operation siren for beginners so that they can start farming from chapter 4/5 onwards. Make beginner life easier, not complicate it with outdated puzzles.

[mental radish]

The new start screen is one of the best in a very long time I feel. Not only is it well made and actually suited for the season but I can also play the game in public without feeling embarrassed by the start screen too

[lusty trench]

I second the above post ☝️ , and this was also one of the things that I tried to suggest on the Survey, but it was cut due to the word limit...

[somber lily]

I think Azur Lane should start having PC supported Azur Lane app, instead using emulators. Emulators are laggy as hell. Not just the apps itself but the PC as well.

[broken apex]

I agree. The picture is beautiful and yes, with start/loading screens like this we can play the game in public.

[cursive horizon]

Meanwhile, some eight years later, we still don't have the ability to choose our own loading screens and currently have at least one that is NSFW. Also in all of 2025 we only got two new loading screens and the Halloween one has been there since 2024.

[cursive horizon]

I have difficulty retaining strings of numbers in my head, it's been something I've struggled with my whole life but that isn't the point. From a user perspective the numbers should not be hidden or obscured. This isn't a password you don't want prying eyes to see, it's a "safety feature" we can't turn off - the code itself being necessary.

[keen gull]

I just beat the W16, so here is my feedback. The W16 is really boring. There is 4 new mechanics and all of that are nearly useless.

1. Sub support fleet is useless. 16-1/2 is so easy, that you don't even need top tier ships. I used for example Portland for nodes and San Diego for boss in stages, where there is no CV in CV nodes. Therefore you don't even notice the effect of Sub support fleet. So the first mechanic is useless.
2. Fog is useless, because in 16-3/4 you don't have random nodes, so you always know what node it is. Therefore the mechanic doesn't changes anything, as if there were no fog.
3. Land bases have no effect. I fought in 16-3 with and without destroying them, I noticed no difference. And I used Cassablanca in my node and Enterprise in boss fleet without most optimal gear and without 125 on every ship. And even if there is a difference, there is 2 Avi strikes against 2 Bases. So it's like nothing significant changed.
4. Fog Eva for enemies. The only mechanics, which is at least working. But there is really small strategic aspect, so to get 5% Eva you need to play naturally without even looking on the mechanic.

So at the end we have 16-1/2, that is W14, but easier that Hard W14, so it's just skipped if you are able to clear W14 without problems. 16-3/4 are much harder, but because of not properly working mechanics, this part is just Hard W14. There is no Subs+CVs+BBs spam like in in W15, no flares like in W14. So it's hard if you have no idea how the game works and how to skip all BB volleys.

The last disaster are bosses. They are easy, so you don't even notice the challenge. After 16-3/4 nodes, where you need to find a tactic, bosses are literally 'Wait Helena to proc and launch Essex with Enty. Repeat until win.'. Even a fleet against med wins Musashi without problems.

W16 has no interesting new mechanics, it isn't hard enough to take out best ships with best equip, bosses are way to easy. So W16 is way more boring then W15.

[cursive horizon]

I think plenty if people will contest the asserted notion that it's "easy and boring" considering the amount of players who are still struggling with chapter 15 and/or have been begging Manjuu for level 130 for a few years now. While there are some, like you, who seem to crave more absurd challenges, I think many of us would rather have more approachable content.

[cursive horizon]

If Amagi-chan isn't in the poll because she won in 2023, why are Little Eugen and Taihou there if they also were among the three winners??

You should have removed them from this year's poll. Bad enough you let people see who is winning ahead of time, this polluting the poll with bias/blind follow-the-leader voting...

[hearty crane]

Cause we only got the winners decoration. 2nd and 3rd are not, same for META and Siren...

[twilit robin]

If there is an Azur Lane 2, please separate the gear system for Campaign, PvP and Opsi. It will be a beloved update not having to switch gears for each content.

[keen gull]

Currently, campaign is a one-time content. Players farm 11-1 for EXP and 12-4 for gold, rarely 13/14-4. W15 and W16 are not useful for farming. The only useful rewards are one-time 250 gems and the SSR ship from X-4. But she is never strong enough, so it's purely collection. For players with 99,8% collection, clearing W15 and W16 is simply by following Chinese guides.

Because new worlds are rare and one-time content, they should feel mechanically interesting. W15 and W16 don't use their potential.

W15 at least has difficulty as a feature. The need to build fleets against multiple dangers in nodes and multiple boss fights make 15-3/4 interesting. But the introduced support fleet is largely, because it only counters the increased aviation pressure and doesn't influences actual decision-making.

W16 has even more unused potential.

1. The support submarine fleet could directly damage the boss, with bosses having higher HP to compensate. This would make sense to use good sub fleets instead of random subs that perform nearly the same as optimized fleets. Currently, there is no reason to use this mechanic. Even adding it to 16-3/4 could make sense, so it's just mechanics you don't need.

2. The fog mechanic could really hide enemies, hiding nodes completely, even if standing nearby. The current EVA increase (5–15%) is nothing for modern equipment. If fog increased EVA Rate and it would be harder to decrease the buff, you would need to choose specialized ships or clear additional nodes to weaken the boss. This would add strategic depth in the game.

3. Boss design is strange. For example, Musashi can be defeated easily with medium armor setup while having heavy armor. W16 bosses feel really weak.

4. The world starts at 16-3, so we have 2 locations just for nothing.

So the issue is not W16 is easy, it is that mechanics don't really affect gameplay. W16 has interesting ideas but they have low or no impact. So interesting mechanics that influence fleet building are needed.

[knotty dirge]

A few new tabs would be nice, so stuff that has no real use doesnt flood the inventory. Like separating commemorative items (new year cards, aniversary coins...etc.), currencies and actually useful items.

I hope more skins have that in-built interaction guidance like the prinz eugen skin

[solemn sail]

when giving gift to Fujinami her name in the text box is Fujinamilt

[split needle]

Am I the only one who finds the way fleets work in this game irritating? I am referring specifically to their number. Six fleets of "regular" ships for the entire game (meaning that you can have a maximum of 36 ships assigned at any one time), two fleets of submarines (maximum of six ships). All this in a situation where there are a LOT of characters to choose from in the title.

I don't know about others, but I don't really like keeping something I don't play with. Similarly, I won't like (because it's not a problem yet) juggling characters in given fleets to avoid a situation where a tiny fraction of them are regularly assigned to fleets, and the rest "just sit there" as cards in the port.

I don't understand, if we had, for example, 10 regular fleets and 3 submarine fleets in the game, would that "kill" anyone? There could even be more, why not.

PS: This problem also affects commissions in a way. I rarely do them because I really don't want to constantly have to forcibly remove these ships from fleets and then add them back again. I also don't understand the point of the requirement to leave one ship at the front and one at the rear of the first fleet. They're not going to sail anywhere anyway, so why the constant warnings that two must remain?

[gilded hearth]

bismarck sirius strasbourg do have them. or simply go on my guide and save yourself from pain. because lowkey in built flash systems are just as annoying as figuring it out yourself

[lavish flax]

can we make the process of taking out oil/coins from mail storage cleaner, even just adding a process to add like +100 or even more preferably +1k?

[void schooner]

Tapping the plus sign adds 100 by default, but you can also tap the input area and type in however much you want.

[slate monolith]

Sometimes I have that issue when it comes to coins, especially when I want to save for when an Event comes up. So, yeah there are times when I want to place my excess coins into storage because I'd like to get my coins from my Munitions Building, since it's just going to sit there until I go below my active storage cap.

[cursive horizon]

It would be marvelous to be able to store excess oil/coins between events, yes.

[twilit robin]

the designs are getting out of hand, just on plain bad taste at this point

[edgy rock]

The new Italian Battleship is wonderfully designed, as you can see from the attached image. She is depicted with, class, elegance, grace, while showing her Italian heritage with her uniform and colors. She wears her body proud while still standing tall as a powerful leader and figurehead..... oh wait, wrong ship announcement......

[broken apex]

Great! I agree. I hope there will be released new useful(!) ships who have the same elegance, grace, etc. like Vittorio.
The new ships lack respect and military vibes.

[hearty crane]

Everyone conviently forgetting her swimsuit at release...

[lusty trench]

There's a small issue with your statement there: Veneto's swimsuit is an outfit which is optional and it's miles better than these recent designs. And also, those of us who are complaining, are doing so with regards of Caracciolo's base design which is obligatory and not optional. Here's two images to better explain what you aren't understanding:

[cursive horizon]

As with Trafalgar in the Lion/Glorious META event, Pasadena's design just ruins any attempt at a serious moment. However, I think more pressing issue is how.. awkward both Willy D and Marco Polo look. Like they're both at different perspectives from each other let alone the odd, tilted look Willy has.

It's pretty clear that Pasadena is the intended focus which is pretty weird for the circumstances in the scene itself. It's yet another aspect of the game being marred by the runaway horniness of the default designs.

[knotty dirge]

I also write this in every single survey. Default designs should be naval uniforms or traditional outfits of the nations. Shipgirls are weapons, not hookers.

Also, most of the new shipgirls are just common anime tropes, rarely representing any aspect of the real ship's design or service history.

[winter lance]

The shipgirl designs are fine.

[hearty crane]

A new filter: Not fully geared (not counting aug). Very handy for finding ships I just stripped to equip new ships.

[keen gull]

I guess Alabama in new skin is way too black

[balmy locust]

yeah, the new skin is quite a few shades darker than her base and LNY skin. Did the artist forget what her skin colour was or something?

[edgy rock]

Sorry, not sorry. This is just lazy. The Takao skin preview is basically a rehashed Nakhimov skin. It isn't just a little bit of this or that. Yes, in general, reusing assets and such makes for faster work flow and product release. But this isn't just a slightly similar pose or a familiar animation segment and then uniqueness. Its basically a 1:1 reskin. Even the rented photoshoot studio looks the same. Devs were known for better quality than this.

[bitter flint]

The skins and even bass designs have been a noticeable step down over time. Base designs have lost a lot of faction identity and consistency. Many of them look like they were designed as skins to be bought later.

Most skins alter quite a lot of the what makes the designs recognizable and some are just boring.

The art itself is still good, but the hyperinflation of sizes and large alterations to identity makes them lackluster. The themes don't help. Most are just boring.

Its disappointing how the design of characters has been handled.

[languid jetty]

I originally started playing Azur Lane because I was drawn in by the unique concept of warship girls and an engaging story. However, lately it feels like the game is just one update away from shifting focus to risqué content, with skins becoming increasingly revealing. While I can understand the appeal of character design, I can't shake the feeling that each update seems to prioritize fan service—whether through looks or dialogue—over the military-inspired uniforms and cohesive, tasteful outfits that originally gave the game its charm. This shift not only detracts from the game's core theme but also makes me wonder if future updates will compromise the original intent in favor of more provocative designs. As a fan, I believe it's possible to maintain the game's appeal without sacrificing its integrity for the sake of more lewd content.

Takao Casual and Chien Wu Casual , Francesco Casual are definitely a must buy.

Begging with absolute humility and all respect to the devs

Suggestion and Petition to delay the release on some of the skins , if not ready

possibly get more money from sale from a more polished product

Particularly :

• Francesco Base (Please consider putting her on a sardegna uniform, please make this absolutely beautiful piece of modern art a paid skin instead, it is insane that it'll be free)
• Alabama Gown (Skin is too dark as described by Cheesecake above, I think it can't be passed of as room lighting) (Body markings are missing)
• Takao Casual Poses that are too similar to Nakhimov, Described and Demonstrated by NoOne above

[quartz pawn]

Over 700 ships, only 4 have body paint for Native American heritage during WW2, and of those 4, only 1 of them keeps their body paint in their new skin designs.

Why ruin this? They were so unique and cool.

I'm all for dark skinned characters, but not when they're replacing old character designs.

And if they want an actual "dark skinned" or "black" or "African American" character, why not make a brand new design on a new ship, and make the design in memory of the Tuskegee Airmen from WW2?

It feels like they turned Alabama, 1 of the more wholesome ships, with a wonderful design, into nothing more than a cash grab attempt.

Edit: i understand the Tuskegee Airmen were specifically a USAF squadron, and this is a Naval game.. if AL wants a reason to have chocolate flavored ship designs, they can release a set of aircraft carriers (s) (who use Planes, like the TA did) that note, in their voice lines, how they wish to be as courageous and / or brave as the Tuskegee Airmen, creating a reasonable reason to make said ship design of dark skinned / black / African American style.

I like me some dark chocolate, but not at the cost of losing already in place ship designs

[languid jetty]

I do not anticipate enjoying this so-called "event"; it appears to be merely an excuse to portray the commander in a suggestive manner. My interest in fan service is limited, and I do not purchase the Curses pass nor play the game solely for that. I align myself with others who are displeased with the change in skin color for Alabama, as it seems that someone on Twitter attempted to "FIX" the artwork. It is illogical for characters who are typically shy to suddenly remove clothing for the sake of plot convenience. Does the game now prioritize fan service exclusively, or does the narrative still hold some significance? Although the tendency to alter a character's bust size with new skins is recognized as a meme, I believe it is becoming excessive. At this rate, I wonder if by the end of the year the game might feature predominantly exaggerated busts with one-dimensional character traits.

[candid isle]

I like the art direction of most of the new girls coming to the game. The fanservice is nice, and the girls are cute. While I was initially skeptical of the reuse of some assets for the Takao skin, I have since come around, and I appreciate the incredible creativity and interactability with the new skins. Keep it up. I look forward to seeing what is done with the story as well.

[broken apex]

Please, could you at least design the start screens so that the game can be opened in public? . . .

[cursive horizon]

They stopped caring about the characterizations a long time ago, which is why we have a whole scene of Shinano seducing the commander which is completely out of character for her. As for playing the game in public, the mere existence of the horrible Soyuz loading screen means it's Russian roulette every time. I just never know when it's going to appear, it's very much a NSFW image.

I maintain that no ship should have a lewd default, especially since it usually makes them look nothing like shipgirls, the very thing Azur Lane is supposed to have been about. We're lucky if there's even something that looks like rigging in there anymore.

[quartz pawn]

this right here. would be nice if we could "check" or "uncheck" loading screen pictures so it would be more appropriate

[ancient wing]

I think the skins are good, characters are cool, loading screens are cool, and other such things. All the props to the wonderful artists that make them and pretty please more clothes on the women so i can do the undressing myself

[winter lance]

I have a good QOL suggestion. I noticed that in a lot of other gacha games that have dispatch/commissions mechanic, you can do all of that in a single click. You click 'dispatch' and let's say 4 teams of characters automatically are assigned and sent out. That would be useful to have in Azur Lane on the main Commission daily screen, prioritize daily commissions first, then the regulars. If someone wants to do the money commission or urgent ones, you'd just send them out like usual.
And another thing, when completing the commissions, make it show the rewards from all 4 in one go, instead of one by one.

btw, its appreciated that you can copy previous fleets in the current event as you go for next challenge. More of good QOL like those and jank removal.

[languid jetty]

People are going to think we are playing a henti game

[balmy locust]

I have no idea why the artist for Alabama's newest skin decided she had to be really dark skinned and not have her tattoos, yet the loading screen with her in it at least has her normal skin tone.

Also, the lewd should be saved for the skins not the base, after all sex sells and having the lewd for free doesnt get you money

[dense shuttle]

In the event story, Shimakaze and Fujinami wasn't present to promote their new skins for the event but instead Nahkimov and Morgador with their established skins took the spot instead which has nothing to do with the event. This kind of decision is inappropriate since why invest time to develop those skins to which later not be used to tell a story to see what is going on with them wearing those skins.

[split needle]

Unfortunately, I have to agree with all the previous speakers. There is more and more mindless pornographic content in the game (as well as stripping ships of historical references), which is now even being pushed into the basic appearance of ships and... weapon skins? The current event, apart from the music and one character (the Italian nurse 🇮🇹 🩺), is definitely the worst creation so far in my opinion.

Two things irritate me at the moment:

1. The inability to get rid of (sell, whatever) these various weapon skins, etc. The game often pushes them as "rewards", but not everyone has to like everything. It just clutters up the storage.

2. The constant practice of making one-week events (i don't care if that's "rerun", or something else - if event is big and has a lot of content, it should be longer that those "mini-events") that definitely deserve two weeks. You run around like an idiot with your tongue hanging out to get it done in time. Meanwhile, the current "(stripping ) photo shoot" lasts... two weeks? Something that could easily be wrapped up in a week, without any justification, lasts as long as a full-fledged event? A complete lack of logic and taste.

PS: No, I'm not a "purist" 🤨. I myself have, for example, a skin for Noshiro called "A Dip in the Moonlight" 🌒. It's just that there's a difference between a rather neatly captured, very light eroticism and typical, blunt pornography.

Dear Devs, can you please let us choose loading screens that the game would use? I'm not a proud or closet pervert, but I don't wanna announce it either.

I'm just a regular degen. When I commute to work I'm afraid of Soyuz's Erect Nipple (But please do not remove or censor it, it is a modern piece of art).

I'm really happy with Takao's new L2D like she's cute and covered up, and I can undress her and put her in various lingeries when the place allows it.

Should I stop playing Azur Lane in public places? I just want to finish some of the grind as my time allows it as I have a short play time, I could barely finish the in game tasks.

Please let us choose which loading screen gets used 🙏

I think this feature will be much appreciated by gooners and non gooners alike, and on a sales perspective maybe you could sell premium loading screens in the future.

Image below is from Valve's Dota 2 for inspiration, it has a simple list of which loading screens you want to use, as well some shuffle options.

The seasonal change over for Island Planner was poorly communicated and implemented. From the description I thought that only seasonal items would be converted to IDP and not absolutely everything. I had recently purchased a bunch of seeds meaning I lost out on a bunch of coins. Since all my stockpiles were converted I have nothing to stock my stores with or use for crafting. It's going to be a several days until I am back up and running with all my production.

Also if you are going to convert everything anyway why can't you automatically give me the milestone rewards? If I knew that everything was going to go I would've manually purged and at least gotten the rewards for it. Now I have lost all my warehouse and didn't get any rewards for it.

[umbral gorge]

Unique augs have made older research seasons (PR1-2) more relevant to the current game meta and very viable starting ships for new players.

However, high faction tech requirement, required EXP, and coin and cube costs to unlock and raise them have make them prohibitively expensive for new players, and reducing their overall usefullness.

To mitigate this, I suggest that Manjuu either reduce all old PR seasons cost retroactively by at least 75% (both their unlock requirement and BPs cost) or offer a free ship per season for old research seasons (eg PR3 and below in 2026, PR4 and below in 2027, etc). Basically, make it much, much more accessible for newer players.

[modern owl]

wish there was an option for the ships with mega boobs to change a setting so they had more "normal" sized boobs
probably an unpopular opinion but it just looks weird

[fair parcel]

Even forgetting about whether it's popular or not it doesn't make sense from a logistical standpoint to do that. They would have to alter several hundred ship designs to make that an option.

Just doesn't make sense to do that at all. If you mean the few "mega" ships as in Kashino, whether fortunately or not that's one of their defining character aspects, and they would become just another ship to forget for a lot of people. But all respect to your preferences.

[green silo]

guys is it just me or do other also miss azur lane in the pop-up center? thats urgent

[twilit robin]

Please consider fixing the sort order of items anywhere in the game, for a more polished / higher quality feel of the software

[charred canyon]

Need Fish Meat Processing accessible anywhere, like we have for the flour mill now :x

[ebon wasp]

Please allow us to exchange arrays for cog chips.

[split needle]

It's the same for me, only the other way round xDDD

[lusty trench]

It has been 5 days since this Rerun started, and 4 days since I reported the fact that my progress, from the original run, has yet to be given back to me. I did so through the Belfast Bot and your email and, the lack of response/fix, is a bit concerning. Not only it shows a blatant lack of care, but also a lack of respect for the time and resources spent on the original run.

[cursive horizon]

It is very peculiar that maxing out Harvest prayers gets you the goddess of wisdom. I can't remember is anyone said this during the initial run but it certainly surprised me this time around.

[strong escarp]

This is a good idea, I can barely see the shipgirl design with all the nonsense in the road

[cursive horizon]

Pretty sure there's discourse all over the server but just to throw it out, are we going to at least get a random previous Valentine message from an older ship?

Or will it be some generic line from Akashi? There's only a few days to go so I think clarifying that is really important. Most of the ships that fall under the new ruling were very forgettable to me.

EDIT: Many thanks for clearing that up! I'm glad I can still get a message from someone newer but not new-enough.

[lusty trench]

Yes or at least, from what that translated post says. Older Shipgirls will give you random previous messages, while only those released between February of 2025/2026 will get new messages.

I'll also add my feedback here:

While I understand that 700+ unique letters is too much for a single person to write, I'm beyond disappointed with this decision. Not because I don't agree with the toll taken on that single person, but because of the fact that you guys (Devs and Management) could have distributed this task for more people, instead of channelling more and more of Azur Lane's staff/resources and revenue for that future piece of garbage called Azur Promilia. This and the fact that you keep crippling Azur Lane is exactly why I'll end my feedback with this: I'll keep voting with my wallet, which remains closed!

[undone hull]

I'm rather disappointed in the valentines changes for a few reasons.

1. The truth of the matter is the dev team clearly has faves that get more content, whether that be skins, story presence, or feature in tertiary content. But valentines day was an assurance that even if you have the least popular most hated ship in the game as your favorite, you are guaranteed one bit of content every year. Taking that away undermines a lot of faith that there's anything to look forward to if your favorite falls in the already shortchanged bucket. If this is going to be the case I'd like to see a larger variety of ships get more focus in events.
2. A lot of ships are short changed by this as they've just been around for less time. I'd like at the very least for the dev team to take the granblue route of having a maximum amount of valentines messages a character will have before cutting it off. It's understandable that 700+ is a lot, but cutting it down to 50 really does not bode well for game health. It makes it seem like the dev team is trying to trim down the features that sure weren't profitable but really sold care existing for the product.

[knotty dirge]

Players complaining for a long time that newer shipgirls are bland and uninteresting, pure gooner bait. This is the dumbest decision to limit a well loved feature to these girls and sideline the older, better shipgirls.
With the direction the game is heading (overly sexualized shipgirls with zero ties to history, them being ships only in name and nothing else, island planner bullshit...etc) i feel less and less motivation to continue playing the game. It was my favourite mobile game for years, but it seems like the devs are actively killing it just to cater to an audience that has nothing to do with the original concept of the game and i am not even sure exists....

[turbid jackal]

new shimakaze skin nice, keep up the good work whoever designed it

[tough pelican]

I very rarely complain about anything in AL but I must say this Valentine's Day change is quite a disappointing one

It's not like you're writing a long paragraph for each shipgirl—it's just 2-3 lines long at most the vast majority of the time

I wouldn't even mind if the Valentine's Day messages came out a little late tbh

This decision imo shows a terrible lack of care for older shipgirls and those that aren't in the vogue, so to speak

It may be a little thing, but people care about the little things like this

Given AL's past displays of care for older shipgirls and their histories, I sincerely hope that such changes don't become a trend and that this one is rectified asap

[gritty flame]

when will azur lane stop being cannibalized to feed azur promilia?

[drifting crow]

Instead of receiving 1 random valentine's day line from older ship girls, can we be sent all of their lines?

[atomic finch]

They're all on the azur lane wiki

[tired badger]

I was thinking exactly this, in this new valentine events are we getting any random old message or ones we don't own? because if, for example, I have last year's new jersey message, will I get 100% one of the previous years new jersey or is there a chance to get a duplicate from last year that I already own?

[fierce chasm]

Not really impressed with the valentines changes. This is one of the yearly events I look forward to seeing. Seeing these changes makes me feel like I have nothing to be excited about and look forward to.

The lack of game content is pretty depressing, and by that I'm refering to the neglect in updating opsi, the lazy event map setting up with putting the same old gear everytime and how long it takes for a new campaign chapter. I'd prefer to see new gear bp's that can be farmed in event maps, as in event specific shop gear that can be farmed to obtain more of said gear, like the hvar hellcats for example.

I'm not really a fan either of the direction the game has been going, island planner is honestly just boring and a waste of storage, 3d dorms start to feel lackluster after time and they just eat up storage and performamce. Even with the option to not have the 3d dorm assets downloaded, it's shifted the focus of the game away from it's core gameplay, which has been since neglected for too long.

Seeing the same ships get a skin for the 6th time is also just irritating because of how frequent it is, other shipgirls are just straight up neglected and so are the players feelings themselves when they wait over 2-6 years for a ship they love, hoping they get a skin/l2d or another skin that would be the shipgirls 2nd skin, only to feel depressed and nothing to really look forward to in future events. You guys are just catoring too heavily to the loudest audience.

I'm honestly considering quitting, as much as it pains me to think about doing. Azur Lane was one of my favourite games, and now I just feel depressed playing this game.

[hasty oxide]

I rarely complain with how Azur Lane is, and barely comment on this server anymore, but I feel I have to say how disappointed I am with the changes done for Valentines and it is this change that makes me feel the need to say something. Keep in mind, this is just one of several directions this game has taken that I'm frankly disappointed with.

I have been playing this game for 5 years now since 2021 and honestly, I don't know what this game wants to be anymore. The core gameplay feels so neglected. The recent update to the campaign feels like a slap in the face. Why no new battle modes? Or some sequel to OpSi? The main story of the game as well as the lore also feels really neglected, and is something I actually enjoy.

It feels like almost 2 games in one now with Island Planner which feels so detached from the core gameplay of this game that I have no interest in playing it. I have no interest in Promila either if it's a teaser for that.

Why we didn't get a 3D port or something where we could have interacted with our shipgirls more? That would have been interesting and made more sense than the Island Planner. Heck! It could have been combined it with the 3d Dorm.

This may "ruffle feathers" as they say, but I am fine with most of the new skins and even like them a lot as well as most of the new shipgirls we have gotten (and yes that definitely includes Carracciolo and Hakuhou!), but I do feel like the the focus has moved from gameplay to skins which I am not a fan of. Why not both?

I personally have no problems with never-were, never-built, and paper ships either. This is coming from a gamer who has played actual naval games since I was a kid in the early 2000's, so I get the historical arguement. All I ask is make the shipgirls likeable. If it "ruffles feathers" further I have ZERO problems with an HMS Habakkuk. Why not? Seriously?

I'm saying this as nicely as I can.

I'll be honest, as a 5-year player it feels like I'm being pushed aside and I am not happy.

[rustic grotto]

I'm just getting tired of all the cut corners. I have played this game since 2019 and have not missed an event, but it just feels like they are cutting the things that make this game feel special. My main complaint is historical references to the ships have declined significantly. And the most recent example is the Valentines event. It just is frustrating to see cookie cutter content and the game just turning into an outfit collector. I like the risqué skins, but not at the cost of the uniqueness of AL. It just feels heartbreaking to see the game you love and have spent well into the four digits on become a cash milking machine to fund a different game; meanwhile, not even providing something as basic as a few lines of text for Valentines day.

[grizzled rose]

GIVE HAGURO AN AUGMENT
GIVE HAGURO AN AWESOME AUGMENT
OR EVEN BETTER, A WHOLE RETROFIT

[viscid cave]

This valentine thing is really not it.
And there are a lot of bugs too.
Girls not matching the ones who you already got choclate from, the limited switch thing.
Valentine day way always simple.
This new system probably took more time then writing a few sentences for each girl as valentine message. 😥

[brittle quarry]

Getting old letters from 2020 and earlier, will give you a translated version of the JP/CN letters. The original EN localized letters are only viewable if you originally got them. Compare letters you get to the wiki and you will see. Pretty lame...

[hearty crane]

Is it intended An Shan cannot be gotten this year? Fu shun is atleast in the enveloppe

[azure rampart]

thanks for not warning me and not letting me micro this crap better
500 points given to Shinano when I wanted to only give her 200
I cant even get disappointed anymore with how shit this game has become

[cursive horizon]

The Fei Yuan minigame controls very badly, why is the control capable of diagonals in a Pac-Man styled setup? I keep getting stuck on corners or she'll just step moving entirely despite my clearly trying to move left/right or up/down, but it's probably detecting diagonal and just seizing up completely.

[humble dirge]

This is an absolutely terrible valentines event.

We're not playing the game for it's amazing high intensity gameplay, we're playing it for cute girls. You literally have 1 thing you NEED to do, write a message for each girl for valentines so you don't have a shipgirl completely forgotten forever by the AL devs.

But apparently, that's too much, too many messages, a game who's main appeal is the characters can't even be bothered to do that for them. Okay, whatever. Can you at least put in the effort to make the damn event understandable and functional? Automatically assigning points to a character before you select them? Why, we ALWAYS had to change on valentines, never the patch before, and there's no real notice to change at patch time except probably hidden somewhere. Claim the daily points? No we're just going to assign them ALL to the character you have up, not just enough to complete their current level. The same issue with farming exists, oh got 10 points over? Yeah that's going to the ship girl in question, enjoy the wasted points if you wanted to stop at 1 gift. The fact you didn't even consider the issue of resetting to 1 after going past 10 is laughable.

Like literally all you had to do was make it "farm stages for points, up to a maximum of X points, click character to use Y points, each Y points used gets you a valentines message for that character, usable up to the number of valentines messages they already have". You literally do that for every other collect points event. But instead you made this absolute slop mess of a system that's confusing, wastes points and doesn't explain at all what you're doing, all while having a super limited time period to do so.

I've played this game over 8 years and this is probably the first time I've thought "maybe it's time to drop AL". The choices made for this valentines event are so bad I wonder if you just out sourced it to AI and interns.

Do better.

[slate anvil]

Please add a proper explanation/tutorial for the valentine's event in the game.

Its nowhere explained that you can unlock 6 medals per character nor that the max level for a character's medal is 60 which left a lot of players confused.
In its current implementation it also takes multiple years of funneling points into one character to unlock the last medal.
Please consider uncapping the points or implementing this event permanently.

[hearty crane]

6 isn't the max, it depends on when the girl released. My Nagato has a max of 7 for example
The point thing is indeed VERY confusing, especially the 500/800/1500 points for ONE girl.
(oh, entirely different thing, huh? Anyways it should be made clear how many levels you need per girl's messages)

[viscid cave]

The explonation is just not explaining anything. How do I suppose to get through all 20 girls the event allow me to get their latters if the sweet memories are limited?
We only have one day left.

[neon pike]

i've never seen a worse UI than this valentine's day event. No explanation whatsoever, buttons are not intuitive, absolute chaos and confusion.

[tired badger]

wait, what is that medal thing? I have my girl at level X and I didn't see any option to get her medals, she is a release shipgirl so I received 8 messages but nothing at 9 or 10, am I getting something else If I keep farming for her? or it's just wasted points

[azure rampart]

more valentine event feedback as if anyone bothers to read this crap
4,000 pts per year when u need ~10,000+ to "max" a single character is also uncharacteristic for this game
there was absolutely 0 reason to make it need 10k pts
atp I am surprised u didnt make it possible to get more with gems or lock some of the frames behind gems
is an incompetent ai running this game these days?

[sour ocean]

i think the valentine concept is ok but it should last longer and not have a sweet memories cap, instead of receiving a nice message before now it just feels like you have to min max something and still not get what you want
and would it really be terrible if people managed to max out multiple girls after playing this game for years

[cursive horizon]

I didn't even realize the Valentine's Operation was a thing until today. Whose bright-ass idea was it to make this event only a couple days long??

As others have said it is very poorly explained and implemented, and you only have a couple days to wrap your head around it. Goodness knows it isn't like we have lives or anything.

[final marsh]

It is really a disappointment to see this game heading off to less and less shiplike..... isnt thia a shipgirl game where is the ship part?
;wow now just decided to not even giving lots of old and (actually uniquely illustrated) ship girls a valentine letter at all?

[royal cedar]

As many others have also said the main reason the playerbase plays this game (ive been playing since 2019) is interaction with their favorite shipgirls and valentines is one of the few/only times we actually get a brief interaction with them. This new system is fine but not adding lines for ships anymore is absolute insanity, the personality of ships is what has kept the people playing and now 75% of the ships are never going to have any interactions again due to valentines being the one time a year you did get ANYTHING for them.

[sharp bay]

I would like to add my sentiment to the already growing pile that I am particularly upset that I'm not receiving anything from my favorite shipgirl this year for Valentine's.

[gritty flame]

forgot to change my secretary and got trapped giving points when i already got the messages, the person who gave the green light to this idea should be prevented from cooking ever again

[arctic spear]

This valentine event is far too confusing and short. There was already too little time on the first day because of the extended maintenance. Now mine is stuck under level 30 and there's nothing that I can do on my part to get that free ring.

[hearty crane]

NOBODY can get level 30. That's for next year.

[low stratus]

You announced in the patch notes that the secretary had to be changed for Valentine's Day, and not even 24 hours passed between the announcement and its implementation... You've been making terrible decisions for two years now, and we regular players feel this way. You're incredibly negligent. What am I supposed to do with a meta Carabinieri for Valentine's Day? I'm beyond annoyed; I'm seriously reconsidering whether it's even worth continuing.

[lusty trench]

It's such a great feeling to have your streak stolen away from you, just because someone without a single brain-cell decided to have this wonderful idea, and destroy one of the few things that made Azur Lane unique. If your goal is to alienate all the Commanders who made you what you are today, then please keep it up! 👏 👏 👏

[sharp bay]

I feel my motivation to keep playing slipping away since I'm not getting gifts any more from my favorite shipgirl

[woeful cove]

I've been playing since late 2018 and i was looking forward to my secretary-shipgirl's valentine message like every year, i choose different characters every year because there are many shipgirls i wanted to get the message from and i'm upset about an almost 8 year old feature i really liked that's been removed from the game with such short notice, and by doing wrong to the players since everybody, across all servers, feel bummed out by this sudden change.

Furthermore, the feature has been removed to add the event Operation Valentine, which i feel it has been poorly implemented and was poorly explained; with "shown rewards" that are unattainable due to the cap on the event points and the duration of the event is too short to begin with. By removing the yearly Valentine message, we should have been able to complete the event in one-go instead of hoping to complete it in the span of years.

Its a change that feels very out of touch with the way your players feels about your game and its features and i think it goes against what we wanted as long serving commanders; even if the intentions were good.

Core features like receiving the Valentine Message every year for 7+ years are what makes us long time players and you should reflect very carefully on how this abrupt change will impact your long serving players.

Finally, i am not fond of the Valentine's Day tweet shared by the Official EN AzurLane X Account particularly about the "artwork" that represents absolutely nothing about this holiday. The Official JP AL X Account, in the same spirit, shared a much more appropriate art of beloved shipgirls in a more valentine-like artwork. By not caring about these things you'll keep giving the impression of being out of touch with us, something that's different from years ago.

[rustic totem]

While I've grown accustomed to the original valentine format, if you choose to revamp, that's your choice. However, I don't find the communicated reason having much merit. There may be many ships but there's an entire year to write a couple lines each that don't need high attention to detail or any relation to the main 'story' (if it did, many ships would never be in the position to send you valentines or even want to). Just having up the previous year's lines is enough to make up a continuation.

All that aside, this new event was given too little notice, and the explanation was indefensibly abysmal.

The button to even get to the event is small and entirely untranslated, even now.

It is very easy for anybody to "waste" points because you would have had to immediately know where the event button is and reassign if your secretary was not already one you wanted.

The text for swaps is still objectively wrong, claiming daily swaps not event wide swaps

For people who want to collect letters, even if they know exactly how the event works, it's almost certain to overflow past a 200 gap and waste points. eg if they wanted to split a daily 400 into exactly 200 for 2 ships. This is extremely awkward. What if normal event points worked like this, where you pick an item in the shop and all sortie currency funnels into it automatically. That'd be nuts.

The batch daily points increasing as "adjustments" does nothing for the above, as you cannot split this amount between ships

No explicit confirmation that this progress is continuous, leaving many people confused how lv60 is even possible.

The very fact that an entire day had to pass, which is 1/3 of the entire event duration, before realizing a guide had to be released and making many people have undesired results for, again, and entire third of the event.

This doesn't feel at all tested. It feels like you rushed it out the door after a writer said "can't do it" a week before Vday. It just doesn't feel like you care.

[viscid cave]

Unlimited sweet memories so you can grind as much as you can for two days would have mode more sense.

[clear dirge]

Can we make like a petition to bring back old letter system? I have no idea what this new system does but i think i prefer a Monarch love Letter over than grind nonesense levels that i have no idea what they are for. If anything add a little pop reminder on the 13th like: yo tomorrow 14th choose well your secretary for your love letter shikikan.

[cursive horizon]

I still stand by my feeling that Operation Valentine should be extended by another week at least and allow for us to get as many letters as we feel like grinding for. Especially given that the story itself talks about how the girls basically drown the commander with mountains of chocolate.

[gentle estuary]

Honestly this Valentine's was badly done and couldn't go as far as I wanted cause I couldn't figure out how it worked and feel really bitter with this change and doesn't feel like this was tested well and very rushed

[vapid ocean]

I'm left angrier than when I started the day, and this just pushed me into the livid zone. I'm reading, and been made aware, of how wide-spread this vocal outcry is (worse than Nagato META redesign) to the point I simply desire to see our main secretery letters back. I'm happy I was able to read various Dunkerque's various letters throughout the years, but this ain't it. No rewards, missed days, miscommunication, level caps, and other stupidity. I was also willing to spam-farm (farm everything in one day, not three) points to unlock rewards for Dunkerque (after accidentally missing two days), and attempted similar for Shinano, only to find out the game forced various things to undo any other progress I had put into it, accidentally leveling Takao to level 6. I have Dunkerque at 13, Shinano under level 1, and everything is just frustration. I have no rewards to show for this. I missed two days, but I was willing to earn any lost time back on my 14th, but the needless cap ruined everyting. My Valentines Day is left sour, thank you for that....

Should have at least been a week event, as it normally is, but no, we had to do something stupid..... We had to be quick and fast; no heads up with what even is happening. English X account also needs to mimic what Japanese Twitter/X acounts does but actually explaining new game features. Everything is slacking in Azur Lane, now more than ever. Get your head back into the game....

I want to see the next update re-release a hotfix compensation of what shipgirl we had as main Secretery dated to February 14th. Compensate us for our losses, our stresses, and our troubles. Make it even by going back to the old letter system and we're set.

(Been playing since the beginning, first on CN, then JP, then Global EN.)

[hollow tree]

Early 2019 player, and I've never felt the need to post in here. I've always held a naive hope that Manjuu had plans and might fix some issues later on. Alas, this event has made it perfectly clear that someone or some people at Manjuu are genuinely incompetent, oblivious, and apathetic to the game and its playerbase.

I've held hope that you would remember that about 10% of the girls in game don't have a single skin.
Instead you announce that over 90% of the roster going forward would be denied a single line of text.

I coped and gave the event a shot. Maybe it would be a neat change to see missed letters. It wasn't a disappointment; it was a disaster.

Instead of being the annual "pleasant surprise" sort of event, it was replaced with one that feels like frantically collecting love letters from ex-girlfriends before your house burns down.

Any bugs involving incorrect-year letters should not exist
Why is the character select the archive? You can't sort by oaths or even favorited ships. You can, however, select ships that you don't even own
Why is there a swap limit? It's impossible to even level 20 characters
If there is a swap limit, why is there a point limit?
Why is progression time-gated if the event only two days?
Each level requires 200 points, but sorties result in point multiples that exceed 200 points. Due to limits, this will result in girls being stuck under 200 points. This is absurdly antagonistic design
Without knowing a girl's release date, there is no way to see if you have seen all her letters, further wasting points
Making rewards (medal/frame/ring) that require impossible-to-obtain levels is beyond sadistic. You intend for this to be a multi-year system, but it is disheartening for everyone; not just new players

This event is the single-most vague, frustrating, and subversive event the game has ever had. The Anson outrage was amusingly concerning; this is simply a depressing way to lose our trust.

[upper mango]

I never thought it would be necesary for me to make a post on this server. Though this Valentine Event is dreadful, it was supossed to be something special. Unique, and now is one event more to be forgotten, I guess they are saving money, i dont know, I play since 2019, and i have uninstalled many times because the game is just boring, but i stay for the special interactions with the characters, the unlocking of new lines when you pledge them, etc. This special line delivered every year was another reason. Its neat they give a ring tho, very, but the elimination of the valentine yearlyline is just pain.

[rotund torrent]

Agreed, this year the operation valentine was garbage

[oblique timber]

This valentines day event was absolutely aweful, been playing this game since launch, I was unaware of changes, not that I had to click on that small event icon without a red ! mark on it indicating it was something new and important. I am stuck on level 26 (maybe thats normal?) but I was unable to get a letter from a new valentine, so this year I got absolutely nothing. I only noticed this event less than a hour before roll over to the 14th. This needs to be more obviously marked, and explained as its a completely new mechanic that nobody is expecting. At minimum we should be given more time, and I dont even know what I missed if anything else,. Wish we could have a redo. If given a chance to fill out a survey for this event, there is no doubt I will rate it a 0 out of 10. I have completed all events, and collected all ships minus 1 collab ship I accidently missed, and the new ship from ch 16.

I didnt even get any god damn mail compared to people above.

Give us a rerun in the next few days would be great for ppl who got fucked over. As I had not bought any skins for this event but was planning to, I will no longer do so.

[minor pilot]

What the hell were you even thinking with this trainwreck of a Valentine's event? Between this, the pointless garbage that is the Island Planner, the obvious shifting of resources and funding away from AL to your new genshinslop game, and the continued lack of a PC client despite all the unnecessary bloat added over the years being way too much for a mobile phone game, you are now denied access to my wallet, and I sincerely hope Azur Promilia fails miserably and you learn a lesson about killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

[cursive horizon]

To throw it in with the rest of the unhappy players, this feels very thoughtless and unkind to the user experience. What is even the point of those frames if nobody's going to get them unless they stick to a single person for the entire thing? And where's even the fun in that when we have dozens or even hundreds of girls we wanna see messages from??

Like, I can see the good idea of allowing players to work on girls they like and getting their valentines, but this has been so badly implemented. As others have been saying for quite a few years now, this has become lamentably commonplace for Azur Lane. New ideas that done poorly, don't work correctly or are otherwise changing a system that didn't need "fixing."

You know, like the new shop UI nobody asked for.

This is on top of bugs and other issues that have remained unaddressed for years. Simple feature requests that are ignored which would alleviate some of the concerns of others. It just feels like Manjuu doesn't care and I'm not alone in saying I have no confidence in their next project.

[soft sand]

like bruh, a new val event with little info only lasting 3 fking days. How about keep it at least the whole february?

[vapid bramble]

I don't usually post here because unlike a lot of people here I know manjuu doesn't even read this shit but c'mon dude the event only lasts 2/3 days? Manjuu just straight gave up lol

[hasty oxide]

After playing Operation Valentine's for the past few days, I'm genuinely disgusted. It felt like I was trying to gather so many letters as fast as possible before I no longer could. This was so poorly implemented and thought out. I'm honestly shocked it was implemented. One comment above said it was like collecting letters before the entire house burns down. I agree on that! That is exactly what it felt like. I've lost a ton of trust in Manjuu from this. This was like a giant intentional slap across the the face! It's clear AL is only a "cash cow" now to fund Promilia while giving AL as minimal attention as possible.

Like the comments above basically stated I have no expectations at all that Manjuu will read this, and if they don't that does not suprise me at all, but I'll say it anyway.

I've had no interest in Azur Promilia and with how they have been treating AL recently I will never have any interest in Promilia. It's clear your focus is not AL anymore. Unless Manjuu does something to rectify these past mistakes and regain my trust, including the trash that Island Planner is, I may change my mind. However, I have no expectation at all that will happen.

[knotty dirge]

As others said before, this event was a mess. I looked forward to recieve a letter from my favourite shipgirl, as it was the only new thing she got for years. You ignored a lot of shipgirls, while others got 3-4 new skins in the meantime, then you take away even this tiny bit of interaction too. I am starting to get tired with the slop you are turning the game into.

[hearty crane]

Should have just put the daily and grind in a pot, and then you could freely take out of it, 200 to whichever girl you want. Show how many messages you could have for them, and for the weird medalchasers allow to give all the points to one girl too.

[formal oyster]

Even though this Valentine system is a$$, I can somewhat understand the impracticability of writing 700+(and growing) messages every year. But the way this was implemented was absolutely horrendous. It's basically a minmax event, which was poorly communicated upon, with no tutorial until day 2 out of 3, and even then the tutorial still does a bad job of explaining what to do. Personally, I couldn't log in the first day so I missed out, and the event was so confusing at first that I spent points in a way I didn't want to spend them. And I know other people were affected the same.

I'll be honest, the game's direction has been going so poorly these past few years that I'm too apathetic towards this game to even care anymore. It's just sad to see one of the very few nice things this game still had go away for a streamlined process that isn't even designed properly.
At this point I'd say that a reset of the event would be best for everyone to start over now that we know how it works. But that's just my opinion. As I said, I don't care.
But minmaxing this kind of stuff really feels awful, Valentine's Day was supposed to be the relaxed and innocent sweet little message you'd get in your mail, not a tiring minmax event where you have to think on how to optimize points gained and used. You turned a sweet innocent message into a 3-day chores (to only farm older messages on top of that), this really ain't it. I'd like to say I'm surprised this passed QA, but considering the awful vibe-coded state of the game (and the fact there's probably no QA anymore), I'm not.

[tawny acorn]

I mean the gamemode/event was literally announced on game-news and it was clear on the patch notes too, if you don't check them, then don't talk about not getting a heads-up because you got one and didn't take it, and I'm just happy for myself to get a free ring on valentines too, not like I cared about letters anyways so win win for me from manjuu

[hollow tree]

"I don't care about thing, therefore it isn't a problem"

Being given a free ring is not a new or rare thing for Azur Lane. Their Valentine's event has always been unique; not just for Azur Lane, but in the gacha scene as a whole.

Most of the playerbase isn't on Twitter.
Most of the playerbase isn't on their Discord.
They know full well most people will not read the patch notes. That's not even an AL thing; society as a whole does this.
Even to those who did read the announcement, it reads completely different than what we got.

Their job as a game designer is to ecourage interactivity by making things user-intuitive, and they clearly failed.
They are usually pretty good about doing so.
Even if you understand how the event works, it is laden with problems that make it easy to screw over the player.

The only event shorter than this is April Fool's. Compounded with the user-hostile, never-before-seen system they introduced, people will naturally be confused by it.

Free rings don't keep the game afloat.
One doesn't mean anything to people who have spent hundred or even thousands of dollars over the years on a game they love and defend.
They are the ones who were let down.

[slate monolith]

The setup for the Valentine's Day event felt like it could have been done better since I thought I had to change my Secretary ON Valentine's Day, and not before maintenance there. Also I feel like I missed out on focusing on which girl to get gifts from this year. Pretty much I focus mostly on the foxgirls because they are enjoyable.

[regal elm]

I'm going to chime in about Operation Valentine.

In my opinion, the new mechanics of this event is better than the previous Valentine message feature; it's not just limited to one day of receiving one message and you're screwed if you got the wrong Secretary Ship, and the rewards are okay overall. However I have two main criticisms:

1. The event's duration is too short. I can agree with others' feedback here, that the event's duration is too short; just three days, and that's not even taking into account the 8 hours of maintenance plus additional hour of extended maintenance, so the actual event duration is less than three days. The event should run for one week, give or take.
2. The mechanics of Operation Valentine is poorly communicated. It was only on Day 2 that the guide for the event is properly communicated, and by then, everyone had wasted the resources on Day 1 inadequately. But the bigger criticism for me is how there's no communications about this event across social media platforms the developers are using; it's merely announcement of the event itself. Sure, the mechanics are explained in patch notes, but even then it's (1) got quite vague explanations, and (2) poorly communicated because not everyone will read the patch notes. You have time to lay out the rules and rewards for Discord-only #1471042914695254060 but not the actual in-game event. This is just inadequate. Perhaps there may be previous attempt to do this, but if it's for events with short timeframe such as these, communication is an absolute necessity.
   That's all I want to point out. Perhaps devs should take a step back and rethink about the approach to events like this.

[barren roost]

Y'know, you could've made the ring eligible for pickup for at least a week, if you make us work for it instead of sending it through mail like years before. I missed it even though I got all the points required several times over. Not cool, brothers, not cool
Edit: Managed to get the ring after checking some more in the academy. Thank you, devs!

[cedar ruin]

The valentines event is ridiculously short. Like 2/3 days really???
There are people who play the game that have jobs &/or study, as many other people said.

• most people don't constantly check Twitter or discord to keep informed of a 2/3 day event. I myself always check discord, and even then I didn't even realize the event was practically 2 days long, and I couldn't even play the event myself cuz I'm in finals week. When i finally had time to log in i realized that the event had already passed, and I noticed that I didn't receive anything in my mail, and after looking around in the general chat I realized that,
• you failed to warn the player base that the seven year long tradition of receiving an email and a gift from your beloved secretary was sent to the gutter.
I love the devs, but I have never been more disappointed in y'all.

[umbral bloom]

The Valentines Day event is so bad, I will now permanently embargo the entirety of the Azur Lane franchise and I will make sure to include all Yostar products until they address the absolute embarrassment of a Valentines Day event. What they did wasn't just a disappointment; they changed the yearly tradition of our game without consent or adequate notice. It's anti-consumer and I will not stand with it.

I never wanted to stop supporting a game I played for at least six years minimum; but the recent changes we have been getting are too much for me to justify spending anymore money on this game. Missing out on Valentines Day gifts from my favourite shipgirl because Yostar wasn't clear to me in-game what would happen is absolutely psychotic. Yostar's response to all of this has largely been inadequate just how I expected from a company holding our Valentine's gifts hostage because they wanted to change what the entire community was familiar with at the last minute. Don't be afraid to speak the truth.

[low stratus]

I agree with you. The last thing I paid for was the battle pass, and it'll be the last thing I pay for if I don't see any real changes. I don't see the point in paying for a game that's felt abandoned for a long time. The 3D islands aren't good enough for me (content that even 3 out of 10 players don't play, which I'm sure is a realistic figure). It seems like Manjuu is going to end the game once Promilia comes out, so why would I give them my money?

[drifting shore]

I think everyone before me said a lot of valid things... I'm chiming in... this event was not great, and there was no specialized card from the shipgirl ON valentines day directly, which was a disappointment. I do not check the social media, and in game there was not much said for the event, not even an ! notification on the tiny event block on the menu, almost missed it entirely because it was 3 days long. Poorly executed.

[winter lance]

Making some changes to how Valentines event worked would have been fine, for example, a lot of people forgot to set up the ship they wanted on main secretary the day before, so how about letting us go into a selection screen to make a pick? That would have been welcomed. A way to grind some extra messages is a good one too, it was too limited tho.
Not granting new commemorative gifts in the item depot sucks, its a bad decision, even if it didn't do anything, it was a cool memento.
Making the event not have a proper explanation until last day, event button being a tiny square, event lasting only 3 days, having a reward ladder of lvl 30 being unattainable (afaik) - this all contributed to confusion and frustration.
I think some comments here went too far in criticism, but its clear this valentines event had a lot of flaws, please do better.

[atomic quiver]

In Island Planner it still requires a lot of clicks to do your management. If you have a resource done and ready to restart you need to:

• click on the full slot receive the items
• click on the empty slot
• click on the character box to open the list of characters
• click on the character you want
• click on confirm
• click on the thing you want to grow/collect
• click on Max
• click on Start Work

That is 8 clicks per thing to get your characters working again. And that can be more if you need to first check which resources you are low on, go and buy seeds and then finally set your characters working. There are two things that I would love to have to make this easier.

1. Have a "quick repeat" box that pops up when you collect an item. This would ask you if you want to repeat the same action with the same character again. That way its only 2 clicks to get something running again. 1 click for collecting and 1 click for "Repeat". Potentially make this an upgrade you can get from research and maybe even a "Mass Repeat" option late in the research tree that allows you to repeat everything in 1 click.

2. Make an upgrade you can unlock that allows you to automatically purchase any seeds/feed you need whenever you start an action. If I want to farm some Mangos and I don't have any seeds just allow me to pay the 3600 coins when assigning the worker instead of having to back out, buy the 20 seeds, then return to the farm management screen.

[tawny acorn]

damn what a damage control from manjuu, giving the actual letter after next maintainance

[potent cosmos]

The free Promise Ring is a nice silver lining to an otherwise horribly botched Valentines' Day event.

Devil's in the details! Man, not even including the tutorial on the first day lmao. What were the devs thinking when they thought about doing that. At all. Sigh

Like Salt said, I do understand with not proceeding with the previous system for all 700~ ships or so every year. But I do think that more thought should be done when doing changes like these.

The free ring is nice, please proceed to add them in future events.

[fair parcel]

I'm very glad Manjuu is giving the letter like they always did before, I didn't bother doing the new format Valentines event since I don't appreciate another unnecessary "grind" I need to do when I could just choose the ship I wanted and set her up for one day.

I would also suggest starting to make the messages for next year as well, ya'll clearly went into overdrive to make a bunch of messages so we can pick who we want which is appreciated. If you make roughly 4 messages for a few minutes during work days you can have everyone done well before next valentines. Not getting a letter for past year ships is something I hope you have reconsidered permanently (till eos of course). Of course the pool is huge, so obviously I hardly expect that to continue being a realistic thing for an almost decade old game.

Not skipping over the free ring in it though and everything else about the valentines and Chinese New Year event is great

[vapid ocean]

Im happy people are tearing Manjuu/Yostar a new one. The English Twitter account is learning, as I've seen here:
https://x.com/i/status/2023334462810100168

More of this! And you should have stated this from the get-go, like the Japanese account. Less slacking, more informing, especially for the Valentines event, etc. Should have stated clearly in proper English whats what.

Im still waiting to recieve my Valentines day compensation with Dunkerque's letter form the older/original system. I'm aware she is an "older" shipgirl, but I was trying to tie up loose ends. Shinanonfor 2027 via the older Valentines system.

To reiterate: yes, the Valentines day event should have been at least a week long, or a whole month. Compensate the players, and do it properly. Do not be lazy.

🌸 New Year’s Warmth 🌸

Dear Commander,
From 2/17 to 3/3, 11:59 P.M. (UTC-7), you can receive a special commemorative gift from the Secretary you have set!

Go to the Secretary Selection page and click the "New Year’s Warmth" button in the upper right corner to claim the gift

X · Feb 16, 2026, 9:51 AM

[split needle]

The bot rejected my comment as feedback, but from what I've read, the rules for server posts are a bit less strict, so I can point this out here. At least, I hope so, especially since, particularly after the release of the current Chinese ships, this is becoming a more and more weird problem for me. For some reason, mentioning it on example of this bot, it seems uncomfortable for developers. It kind of looks that way. Well, never mind.

One of the best features of Azur Lane (so far, I hope it doesn't get worse) is the large selection of historical, prototype, and even conceptual modules. This allows for a great deal of creativity in equipping ships, from purely historical sets to completely custom ones. So far, new modules have often been introduced when new ships have been added, if they were historically equipped with something that was not previously available in the game.

For some reason, this rule completely misses pre-war ships such as the Seydlitz, Emden, Asama or chinese vessels. I will say up front that I do not know how many such units are in the game. Perhaps there are only a 10 - 20. Nevertheless, even if that were the case, what harm would there be in adding these modules? In the future, if the game is to develop, it will probably cover the ships of the Great War more extensively anyway. At least I don't see any conflict between this direction and continuing with the Cold War. These are two logical centrifugal directions of development.

So, in short, it would be nice to have these modules. Not only for the above mentioned ships, which are already in the game, but for everything that will be included in it in general.

[rustic totem]

For those unaware, the newyear letters are already out on the other servers like JP and it's 1 fixed universal message. That's a given, since they said they had no time for Vday anyway. Still an alright and quick response gesture for those who at least wanted an item in their depot. And announced with clear graphics and a longer time duration.

Anyway, I hope the message received isn't that the Vday event was necessarily bad, but it was both confusing and more importantly very unforgiving. Incredibly easy to progress in a way someone may not want to before they even know what they're doing or that it's even active.

I hope when it returns next year, at the very least you could revisit how points are applied, because the one this year is very unfriendly if you want to hit exact 200 threshholds. Maybe just have your points work like event currency and you can spend them in fixed 200 amounts, also eliminating the chance someone has an active set to someone they didn't intend.

[finite dawn]

I honestly had no idea what was going on. What is this nonsense? The new week started almost 11 hours ago in Island Planner Mode game time.

I checked the pearl selling price in the "Friend Rankings" tab, found a friend with the highest price, went to their island to sell my pearls and... I get an error saying the pearl price on this island hasn't updated. How is that possible? The price updated 11 hours ago. Why can't I sell my pearls?

Now the price might update and I'll end up at a loss or make less profit from this?

Since I'm already writing in this chat, I'd like to share my current thoughts on this mode in general. But Discord won't let me send a long message, and this chat has a limit of one message every 6 hours, so I jotted down my thoughts in a notepad and you can read them in the screenshot.
https://i.ibb.co/DPdbk2NN/2411124124524.png

@void schooner Yeah, I had a feeling that was the case, which is exactly why I decided to speak up about how confused I was. It's such a stupid, poorly thought-out way to do things. I spend my money based on a plan to get a certain amount of profit, and now I can't sell at the price I was counting on.

[void schooner]

Price doesn't actually update until the person visits their island (or logs in to the game?). So until then, the game won't let you buy/sell on that island.

[late aspen]

Wth is this I thought is valentine choco???? Despite many complaints, they decide to ignore the player voice and give this useless thing instead of chocolate....I came back cos I thought they fix the choco complain, I am quitting cya rip AL

[mint saddle]

This is the worst event in the game's history by far, which is surprisingly shocking.
Best Manjuu can do is just give us a PC port and be done with it.

[woeful cove]

The absolute lack of communication and response to the feedback about this fiasco of an event is astonishing, these sudden changes that make unhappy most of your playerbase in every server need to have an appropriate explanation/apology. Operation Valentine was not a bad idea per se, but it was so poorly executed that i genuinely fear for how much effort or will to put into the game you guys have left. Maybe make some sort of Valentine Event with a gift from the secretary ship + a White Day event followup one month after idk. If you seriously think that you can refuse to address the current situation post-valentine you're absolutely delusional and completely out of touch with your customers, if you cannot give proper dignity and well thought event for the only noteworthy battleshipgirls game around and you think you can do better on your genshin clone you're kidding yourselves and wasting our time lol

[quasi dagger]

The new valentine's even needs to make the points a common pool so you can choose exactly how many points you give a character so you don't end up with a character at lvl 4 and get 1 message and 2 characters with incomplete points like 102 on one and 98 on the other because you forgot to change the ship you wanted to level up.

[fair parcel]

I've never really considered it Valentine Chocolate. It's really just a letter from your secretary which is just a commemorative item. It's basically the same but New Years themed which is weird. But as long as they fix up the new format for Valentine's I think it will be good.

[lusty trench]

While this "new year message/gift" (even if the message is the same, regardless of Secretary) is appreciated, **it doesn't change the fact (nor it compensates) about what happened to this Year's Valentines. I expect two things:

An apology and what are your plans for AL, moving forward;

Return the right to have a new Valentines letter and gift to all the Shipgirls you took it from;**

And, by apology, I don't mean Gems or any other type of compensation. I mean an honest message from you, to us, and a proper Valentines Event, which we had for Years before you ended it abruptly!

[frail stone]

Hi. I know many discussions about last Valentine event. But I would be little bit off top of that. Can we get some fast notification about how many prints we have for item in the gear depot or anyone else? For example if I want disassemble gear and this gear can be used in gear lab for another upper gear item I would like to know how many prints of this item I have so i can safe to destroy this gear and know that I can make it later. Otherwise it's pain in ass to figure out.

[twilit robin]

Thanks for the free long island skin Manjuu, much appreciated! ❤️
恭喜發財

[frail stone]

referring to my latest post if this will look like something like that will be nice

[twilit robin]

Just a fever dream, Steam has a "Horse Fest" event right now and Uma Musume is featured, if there is a ship fest hope we could get a steam client (and open up player steam funds into sales)

[cursive horizon]

Once again saying we need to stop getting creepy and lewd default designs. Even if I disregard the creepy crotch window on Moskva, Krasny is just absolutely unwanted as a default and Bogatyr is disturbing as hell with those weird robots and her being strung up like.. well, a slave.

Geeze, I've seen less lewd designs in hentai games. I honestly question why I keep playing but I know it's for the story and the characters I do like. It's just a shame that I can't play the game in public anymore. Not since that Soyuz loading screen showed up...

[fair parcel]

Even with an fully clothed shipgirl you still find SOMETHING to whine about

[knotty dirge]

That Krasny Kavkaz default is disgusting. I am unironicaly considering buying her skin just to get rid of that pose...

Also, why is Bogatyr an ultra-modern robotic engineer? She is the same class as Pamiat, and one of the oldest ships in the game. Her design is fine, just does not fit the ship it should represent.

[winter lance]

Wish you guys picked a different faction for the event, NP is as usual least interesting.

[gritty flame]

the designs don't really fit the ships they're supposed to represent tbh

[green silo]

would love it if azur lane purchases can be made in the pop up center

[twilit robin]

Dear Devs,

I have a sales idea, what if you have both of a "pair ship" skin, and they are the same series (office, cheerleader, boudoir, swimsuit, etc) , you get the option to combine the l2d in the home screen. no interaction for now, or one special animation

This can be done with atago/takao, shoukaku/zuikaku, etc. maybe even 3-4 ships on a same series forming a bigger image, maybe a special animation when you have a complete collection of a series

[lusty trench]

This recent Chitose and Chiyoda skins are kinda weird, honestly. I can see the artist is different (I mean, that's noticeable). But, why don't they try to stay true to the OG design, even if a bit? Their eyes are off, they got bustier, thicker and, for me the worst, is the fact that Chitose has no fox ears, both on her Default and Skins. And now, somehow, they magically grew?

[hasty mountain]

I think the depot is due for an overhaul. All of these collectable items should be moved to a different tab. Even with what's left maybe some more divisions could be created... separate consumables (those with the Use button) from items that are used elsewhere? Maybe other logic. Right now there are way too many unrelated items mixed in, it's not a warehouse it's a full on dumpster

[cursive horizon]

I wholeheartedly concur. It can be annoying to track down books for merging or looking to see if you have unspent blueprints/blank plates. Speaking of the depot...

Since I noticed it again this year, once upon a time we used to get custom intro letters from the girls when we selected them and in the last few years these are almost entirely replaced by a generic "letter of introduction/card from Shipgirl" that feels soulless. It's honestly rather inconsistent from year to year, but seeing as how there is only ever a small selection of around 5-7 girls at time for these I don't see why they don't all have unique dialogue.

I'm not really asking Manjuu to go back and retroactively fix them (although that'd be nice), just that going forwards it would definitely be an improvement to take a few minutes for each of the handful of girls to come up with a simple message to go with their special letters and cards.

[knotty dirge]

As we saw at the valentine's event, shipgirls are not there to have personalities or to be unique. Just buy the skins, stare at their boobs and crotches and be happy.
If we are already talking about this, i have a suggestion to Manjuu. Just ditch the whole voicelines system, it is useless and takes too much work. Maybe keep the special touch line, but turn it into moans and groans, to better reflect the current state of the game.

[fair parcel]

As YOU saw you mean. How about giving actually serious feedback like others here? The depot certainly needs an overhaul.

Another suggestion I'd make is allowing us the choose which fleet fights which boss when multiple boss fleet are present like on 15-4. On those maps a new toggle preset for the 2 fleets could show up with 3 selections corresponding with the 3 fleets and you can select which ones the fleets will fight.

This is really just to completely streamline it, auto pickup of ammo was a great change and this further helps out. Cause although I love this game and will stay with it until the end, it's definitely not something you wanna have to sit and micromanage.

Edit: A very good night to you too sir

Edit 2: and I apologize, instead of coming directly at you which is not what the channel is for I could have simply said how I like recent ship designs and other things to combat your comment, though that would be kind of a lie since I don't really care for recent shipgirls honestly. Everyone should feel comfortable to share their opinion and not be on "edge" for pushback on a feedback channel.

[knotty dirge]

My suggestion from january, so if you would kindly shut up, it would be really appreciated.

And this channel is here to bring up issues with the game. Currently, the oversexualization and lack of personality of the shipgirls are the greatest issues.

Edit: As i said, good night! 🙂

[umbral bloom]

I'll second what you said. I think the focal point lies with the marketing and development prioritisation. The game pours tremendous effort into new characters and fanservice. Older characters are actually more developed whilst the newer ships may sometimes be flat or live as one/two personality traits like Herring where her entire identity is sweat and herrings.

My only issue with the lewd-focused presentation is its priority over character design which is usually the focal point of our complaints.

[full trench]

so... when are we going to be able to compose our T3 skill books to T4 skill books? I've got thousands of T3 skill books that I would very much like to compose into T4 and the fact you just can't is ridiculous.

Also why are we only able to do max and add +1 when it comes with the universal parts? i have nearly 5,000 and would like to split it between my General and main gun T3 parts but i'm unable to do so because you can't manually put in how many you want to choice, only adding them up by 1 or just selecting max.

[finite dawn]

I don't think it's a very good idea to charge money for this...

My island makes $100-110k+ a day, but I'm not going to use this feature.

1. Free resources now cost money. It's just a psychological barrier to spend money on something you can do yourself for free in 5 minutes a day.
   2. It's inconvenient—you can't just put Workerjuu on the job. I currently have 14 characters on my island. 10 of them are busy most of the time, leaving only 4 free, and I try to send them to gain experience.
   This job, from what I can tell, gives very little experience and wants to tie up 3 of my characters for maximum efficiency.
   3. Splitting it into Wood/Ore and Wild Gatherables. What's the point?

You know, back when this mode first launched, I thought it would be a good idea to have a special building that could gather all these resources without needing to do it manually. But I'd want that building to be integrated into the current system, where we assign characters to work and they just use stamina - not money.

Even if that building cost $200-400k, it's just psychological - it's easier to pay a big sum once and forget about it, rather than paying every day for resources that used to be free.

[drifting crow]

Following up on this. I think the character gathering should also contribute to the manual labor daily quest.

Otherwise, you could lock yourself out.

[hearty crane]

21k x3 a day for weapon skin boxes is a BIT much

[finite dawn]

Okay, just out of curiosity, I tried the new feature. You get the resources instantly, and it looks like you can select both types of resources, so points 2 and 3 are no longer relevant. But point 1 still stands.

And obviously, this needs to count for the quest, like Darkadios pointed out.

[ocean adder]

Optimize the game or give us PC Client

[stiff roost]

Next time don't release an event where I need to grind just to read the event story, it kills momentum and engagement on the lore of the girls. This event is rate 6/10

[tawny acorn]

Chitose's ears are covered by the cloth genius, and about the ears in past skins, those are also present, they're just drooping instead of staying upright

[fierce chasm]

Censor more words or just entirely disable the in game shipgirl comments feature. Too many out of control and disgusting shit is being said and left uncheck.

[twilit robin]

Dear Devs can we please have more variants for the generic augments before GTA 6? Would love gold version of these and other variants like anti medium armor for bb's. The game is moving painfully slow and these wouldn't take too much work to code and recolor to gold

[plucky dagger]

Regarding the data mine ban... I have never felt so uninvolved in a major event during the years I have played this game. I still have no idea what the new ships do. Am I even excited for what the new UR is?... Ah- its Moskva. Or something like that. No.

The data mine videos only really gave us the stats the morning of the event and the skills for the new ships. The datamines got me excited. Now I actually have to get the ship let her sit in my dock for at least a month before I am even going to use her, and then figure out what she wants and does. If your gonna scratch the data mine at least give us a explanation of the skills. (And plz not ig) reading the skill off an excel sheet is way easier tha. Using the ig interface...

Please someone let me know what the new URs thing is. What makes her unique and not the generic cruiser.

[blazing dew]

They've already somewhat unbanned Datamines months ago, they're fine as long as they don't turn up content that is not part of the new update (Mainly NPC sprites)

As for your complaint regarding the videos, those are out of the hands of the devs so idk why this is here. If you really want to know what a new ship does, you can also just ask in #gameplay-help, it's not that hard

[hearty crane]

Azur Lane Meta doesn't make vids for personal reasons atm, nothing to do with datamine ban...

[lusty trench]

Next time that you make a Survey, add the problems EVERYONE complains about! For example: the absolute abysmal Valentine's decision and lack of an apology/explanation!, which you so conveniently "forgot" to add here! Having a Survey on day 1, for an Event that just started, is making fun of YOUR playerbase!

[hearty crane]

Since we have loading screens of 2024(!) allow us to pick 12 amongst the MANY options of 2018-2023.
Also update the loading screens with Tempesta, META and the Elves.

[low inlet]

Add more content to opsi and mabey remake it to be more engaging.

[lavish marsh]

I hope they taking this game so seriously after that survey, especially what happened to the Valentine event

[umbral bloom]

What the game did on Valentine's Day was horrible. It was a war on love. They tried to remove the event without our permission and replace our waifu's love with trash. We fought back & we fought back hard; and they still ignore us, can you believe that?

I've tried contacting support to save Valentine's Day. It was very, very sad. I got a few responses, not very good responses; but I got one saying they were prioritising a response to me before the Lunar Year. They still haven't responded to me after that and the tickets keep closing. I don't know why the tickets keep closing; but I don't like it.

It is so cruel to us, so unjust and so unfair. We will never give up; we will bring back Valentine's Day and we will keep fighting for our waifu's love.

[native pond]

add more items to the shop OR convert the event items to coins at least 1:1 ratio after event is gone

[lavish marsh]

You're right, we'll see in the future Valentine's Day event

[knotty dirge]

The "faction tech" and "collection" didnt see any updates in years. Both are cool ideas and would add another layers of fun to the collection aspect to the game. It is a shame that we leave behind such aspects of the game just because they cant be monetized...

[drifting crow]

With all the updates to Project Identity, having more special secretary slots would be great.

I went through the trouble of unlocking all the endings, so why do I have to choose between displaying TB, Oceana, and now, Explorer?

It could also be similar to the shipgirl projection system for Research ships.

I.e. you get more slots as you unlock all the endings.

[lusty trench]

600 MB worth of nothing new to the game (plus an unnecessary 8 hour maintenance), and more bugs. Is Promillia all your really care about now, guys?

[fair parcel]

I'd suggest you remove this dumb comment yourself or I'll ping a mod to do it

[winter lance]

Finished a run with Project Identity 3.0, Lora is cute, but the gameplay feels too samey with the previous iterations of the mode, lots of stat grinding. I was hoping for something a little different than just planning activities week after week. Overall I had fun tho, gonna go for another run.

[rich wren]

I prefer The way Project Identity with TB was done. Had more control over her development. This new one just feels too random.

[lusty trench]

While it has been a while, since you announced a properly dressed Shipgirl (and I applaud you for that 👏 ), I have a question/doubt:

Why does Unryuu EN introduction feels so different from JP? From JP, she gave me Katsuragi vibes, and by that I mean being as chatty as her sister. But, somehow, EN gives me a different feeling. Or are any of the translations wrong?

[twilit robin]

Can we please have an exit button for meta simulation?

[balmy locust]

they both have references to performing, so they might be both correct with JP is her excited while EN is her serious.

[neon pike]

yes please, why does simulation doesn't allow us to quit the battle? that looks like an oversight. please give us option to leave battle

[ocean frigate]

I'd like some more consistency with the names of my siren daughters throughout the UI.
"Oceana" and "Explorer" should only be used when referring to the type of siren they are.
When referring to them as individuals, their given names "Navi" and "Lora" should be used.

[cursive horizon]

While Lora is very clearly a cute abbreviation of Explorer, part of the issue stems from Oceana not being her original name, which is actually Navigator. If they had been consistent with Navigator to begin with or simply called her Oceana (a normal enough name) straight through, this wouldn't have happened.

But I digress, consistency for Oceana and Navi could definitely be better handled. I think I agree that it should also just be Lora when referring to the Project Identity version since that's not really the Siren enemy anyways.

[ocean frigate]

But Lora isn't an abbreviation of Scavenger, which is her original name.
I wonder how CN/JP handles the dual names.

[lusty trench]

Guys, second time you mistranslated things! And, if the previous one gave me a feeling of a different character altogether, this one is a step above. I'd say that, after this many years, this really shouldn't happen! Not only because it's a basic mistake, but because it also changes the entire context of the scene and the character of the Shipgirl!

[cursive horizon]

Man, all this digusting porn-leaning skins are just making the game feel even more like gutter trash lately.

I've been desperately clinging to what little I do like about the game but shit like the Gorizia and Choukai skins, which don't even look like the characters, is yet another nail in the coffin.

They clearly want this to be a porn game and yet appear to be trying to toe some imaginary line Manjuu cross a couple years ago.

Think I'm going to just.. finish enjoying what I can of Project Identity and consider leaving for good. It's sad to see something good become a rotting corpse that hasn't realized it's already dead.

Not like I see anything actually lore related happening in the near future with all the port timeline events we're getting. Helena META event already felt like an attempt to hit end of service.

[turbid jackal]

keep up the good work with the skins, i like them 👍

[umbral bloom]

Am I the only one waiting for compensation over the Valentines tragedy earlier this year? The community deserves what was stolen from them.

[frail stone]

Good skins. Love high-tech

[lusty trench]

No, you are not. Even if some people quit, consequence of that atrocious event, I believe they made themselves heard during the last survey. There should be more complaints here, but they are quickly dismissed by the growing amount of bootlickers/tourists/whiteknights that plague this community. You know, those people who turn a blind eye on the growing problems of Azur Lane, beat their meat to the trash Manjuu/Yostar have been doing/releasing and label the players that love this game as "tourists". And, you guessed it: those same people were silent during the Valentines fiasco. And still are.

[umbral bloom]

I will never stop complaining until Yostar or whoever runs the game gives the community compensation. I was promised my complaint would be heard after their holiday and what did I receive? Nothing. Sad! The people who run the game want to walk away without admitting any fault. They know it; I know it; everyone knows it. We need to stand up for the community who can't speak and let ourselves be heard. Remember those crazy people who thought WWII was still going and the Allies had to contact their generals to tell them the war was over? That's how I intend to go out. I will extend my protest into my elderly years if I have to. I will constantly remind people this company is perfectly fine with changing traditions at the last minute even if it confuses players.

I was around since the UI used this pastel yellow colour. I may have complained about not reading the UI after they changed it but at least it improved the game and we all got used to it. Valentines Day ruined it; Azur Lane stole our letters.

[turbid jackal]

I’m not going to stop speaking up until Yostar actually makes things right for the players. They promised to listen after their holiday break, but we haven't seen any results yet, which is really disappointing. It feels like the company is just trying to ignore the problem and hope we forget about it.

I’ve been playing this game since back when the menus were pastel yellow too. Even though I complained when they updated the UI, I eventually saw that it helped the game. But this time is different. By taking away our Valentine’s Day letters, they broke a long-standing tradition and confused everyone. I’m willing to keep protesting this for as long as it takes—even years from now—because the community deserves to be heard and treated fairly.

[winter lance]

I've seen some people talk about their AL regrets and a lot of people say that they regret not playing during Neptunia and Kizuna AI collabs. They're not strong ships at this point, but it would make a lot of people happy if those events got reruns.

[slate monolith]

Yes, and if they ever did a Neptunia rerun I kind of want to see the Sisters added to the mix. Kind of like how it happened when we got that second DoA Beach Volleyball event

[knotty dirge]

The multiple endings are a great idea. Also, ditching the unskippable, pre-determined battles are welcome too. I hope we will see these implemented in all the future events too. Maybe hints for the missing endings would be good, but overall, great job.

Ps.:Still waiting for the valentines compensation.

[dreamy eagle]

How do you get ending 1 in the current event?

[iron pebble]

I am sick and tired of events like this. They're boring to me, I want to see stories in the world of Azur Lane - even if they don't progress the main plot. Even if it's a slice of life story, anything is better than these non-canon fantasy stories.

[limber pier]

It's probably a reaction to people not being a fan of the plot not progressing during like the first few years of the game when it was all anthological. Now the game is stuck in a corner where now they feel like the main event stories have to progress the plot in some way but we're kind of in a situation where they can't progress the plot forward because we're kind of at the end game there's no other antagonists outside of Richards and the X. They basically went there can never be Slice of Life barely any in Main Event stuff there has to be fighting there has to be something going on. Every single story in their mind for the main event has to progress or explain the lore

[dreamy eagle]

@slate monolith Yeah, do you have any info about the DoA collaboration event?

[blazing dew]

#gameplay-help is that way

[lusty trench]

I've reported this as a bug, but I honestly don't know if this is intended. If it is a bug, it should be fixed ASAP. If it is intended, then it's another bad decision on your part. And that number just keeps growing.

**Usually, Events with Normal and Hard Mode Stages, have a 3x Daily Points bonus. This one hasn't, which translates on a loss of 7560 points throughout it's duration. Not only that, if this is supposed to be a small Event (hence why it probably doesn't have a 3x bonus), why does HT3 have the same cost as a D3 Stage from a big Event, but no SSR Drop!? ** After this many years I believe you should already know that not everyone has time to sortie 24/7. You know like you should have known that, whomever decided to destroy this year's Valentines, has bricks where their brain should be.

Speaking of Valentines:

Still waiting on a compensation (no gems, just what you stole) and a public apology!

[slate monolith]

Usually they do the 3x points for reruns of an event only there.

[blazing dew]

This event is a SP/medium format event not the standard large event format. SP events by design do not have many of the features that normal events have, so no this is not a bug.

Also idk what you mean by HT3 having the same cost as D3 w/ no SSR drop when the oil cost is already minimized thanks to oil cap being in effect

[neon pike]

this is false. rerun have x5 multiplier on normal and x3 bonus on hard, recently all our events have daily bonus x3 on normal.

[stoic shale]

Hello, I buy the Aquila party dress skin but I didn't receive any discount coupon and the event is still active until April 8. Did I do something wrong or it's a bug?

[minor robin]

Hi, please direct such questions to #tech-support or #bug-reports
This channel is for feedback about the game

[twilit robin]

Can we please have a "give stamina potion" button on the planning page?

[lusty trench]

As the 3rd image shows, this is no SP Event. If they consider it such, then it is poorly executed. The 1st and 2nd images prove my point, in regards of your doubts, even if I'm not sure on how you got them in the first place:

[raw flicker]

It appears the long (6-8hr) comissions appear at certain part of the day, I imagine that's targeted for americas sleep times - would be nice if we could select our timezone/sleep times to accomodate rest of the world (or even americans that work nights)

[balmy locust]

it is an SP event as it has an SP stage, whereas a major event also has an EX stage. Having an SSR drop doesnt change what kind of an event it is

[regal elm]

It is an SP event, and event of this format has been an annual thing since Virtual Tower event in 2022

[neon pike]

Please never do this kind of multi route selection to get all the endings for medal again. Not only it is difficult to track what we picked, it is also confusing as hell as what we actually needed to do to get all the 7 endings. Whoever thought up this event mechanic for the medal system needs to be locked behind bar and never touch the game development anymore. Just keep it simple as you did in previous events, don't need to add unnecessary extra step stuff that nobody asks for that only make things difficult for your players.

[hearty crane]

Confusing event... must be March

[raw flicker]

please increase oil obtained passively as well as through events/missions - way too easy to burn through what were given currently. especially if youre a new/returning player and have catching up to do

[winter lance]

Please add a confirmation window to Operation Siren exchange 1000 oil for 100 AP.
Yes, I just clicked it by mistake and a thousand oil was obliterated and I'm not happy about it.

[tawny acorn]

make kaga cv and amagi bc unusable and unobtainable and remove both of those ships from all the players' docks because they died in story

[knotty dirge]

Lots of ships are dead in the lore, half of the roster could be made unusable by that logic...

[raw flicker]

please increase the pace old cruise META are added to the shop this is taking way too long 😭

[lusty trench]

Unless they want an uproar even worse than Valentines, what they instead could do is merge the alternative versions (except the METAs) with the original and making it changeable (optional, would be up for each Commander to decide what to do with their own). Kinda like HSR, WuWa and Genshin do with their MC. It's hella confusing having the alts being the OG, on text chats, lore, etc., while being an alts at the same time. Not to mention having to level up Affinity for a Shipgirl that already has it maxed out...

[limber pier]

But they're not dead their souls are merged with the alternative versions of themselves so they're alive I mean the story will never go into the implications that that will bring but they're alive

Also for feedback please stop making these types of events where you got to go through a bunch of Hoops to get all the endings or at least just give players a hint how to get these endings like what are they specifically need to do

[candid isle]

I personally love the multiple ending style of this event. It's a cool thing for side events to have multiple endings and story decisions, and I look forward to seeing it expanded upon.

[raw flicker]

please rerun belfast's sweater skin

[frail stone]

Idk. I like this multiple endings event. Ofc as a part of Event Medal reward this is not best challenge and idea but if this will be separated reward for few cubes as example I will be appreciated. There's no scripted fights iirc. Which I appreciated too. This novel format story without fights wasn't awful as for me. I guess I spend 15-20 min to get all 7 endings without tips at the beginning of event just went through all the options. Yeah I didn't read story. Just for collection

[twilit robin]

Hi Devs, could we have an option to set a “default skin” for Bulins?

Right now, every time we obtain a new Bulin, we have to manually reapply the skin we own. Having a default skin setting would make this automatic and ensure that unlocked skins are consistently used.

It also adds a subtle social dynamic, players who have collected skins over time can naturally showcase/soft flex their progression without extra steps.

[hearty crane]

Pretty dissapointed with the event story... seeing how many people had issues with the choices I was expecting much as I gathered followers,... to have 90% decided on VP9, and all the ones I gathered mattered not. Should have expected another letdown like last year....

[knotty dirge]

The Island Planner is getting a new, Tactical Simulation (Liar's bar ripoff) gamemode? I am so glad you introduce another cheap, uninspired copy of a recently popular game, while the main game is slowly dying.

[rugged spire]

so i spend too much time in here but cant find any solution to unlock all the ending for vagabond story. Next time please make something that easier to do. thanks

[charred canyon]

Else go there -> #gameplay-help message

[lyric quartz]

I think the event was good. Completing all story endings had low stakes rewards so it was optional, and some basic story reading and deduction could get them all without a guide. Please make the new ships more useful than as gooner material though.

[frail stone]

I like this story ending format. But agreed that reward for this should be separated from event medal and been as additional reward with something else. Maybe 60-70% players got issues with that format but asking to deny this story format same as asking to make Meta bosses much easier cuz 80% players can't deal damage above 15% of boss's hp.

[drifting crow]

I think there should be a PvE mode for the new Island Planner minigame.

I’d rather just play against NPC bots than other people. Especially since I only care about the rewards, and not my ranking.

[finite dawn]

Tactical Simulation is probably the worst idea you could have possibly come up with:

1. You rely on there being other players - but Azur Lane isn't a young game anymore, so the player count is very low, at least on the old global servers. And on top of that, the pool is further filtered down to only those who play Island Planner - for example, in my guild, nobody plays that mode except me.

2. This mode is extremely unpolished. While playing against bots, after about 5-6 rounds, their cards just stopped showing up on the table, along with the animation of them playing cards. So I was just staring at an empty table and had to play blind.

I tried queuing for a ranked match. I got error-kicked twice, and on about the fifth attempt, a lobby was finally formed - but it didn't let me into the match. I kept getting bounced between the matchmaking screen and the match itself, and eventually I was booted out of the game to an infinite loading screen.

3. Matches are very long, heavily RNG-dependent, and you get zero rating for beating bots (in private room).

How could you possibly release a mode like this - with a requirement to earn rating for rewards!?

---

This mode desperately needs hotfixes. It's unplayable - cards constantly stop showing up, I keep getting kicked out of matches right as a new game starts, and sometimes cards glitch out the other way where they just sit on the table and block the cards the other player is playing (you can't see them).

It feels like this mode wasn't tested by anyone at all. It's just a disaster and a disappointment. The problems happen both on my phone and on PC via emulator. My internet is stable, good, and fast.
https://i.ibb.co/Kcd49hqS/wtf.jpg

---

Once you hit 1600 rating, you can't even play properly if there are no other players...? How are you supposed to get the 3000 rating reward? Losses can cost you no less than 120 points. And this is the first day this mode is out...
https://i.ibb.co/PvzQR1RS/1650.jpg

[rich wren]

The rewards for the Tactical Simulation are not even worth the effort. Just looks like a pain. Would rather have expanded use for fishing.

[finite dawn]

Ranked matchmaking... → 100 seconds passed... → No opponents found → Still throws you into a match → Immediately kicks you out with a "System error" → You lose 120 rating points

Great.

[cunning ledge]

Yeah, Tactical Simulation needs to allow bots in all brackets. Especially given being the first loss is way too high a punishment compared to 3rd or 2nd place being a reward and the player pool is rapidly shrinking as people hit 3000 and quit this mode. It's not fun enough to keep anyone.

[sour ocean]

Yeah I also think it needs bots. Maybe I'm playing outside of prime hours because of timezones, but even on the 2nd day already I was queuing for like 30 min without getting a match

[hearty crane]

Or allow non-Island players access? That already cuts 95% of players off

[glacial steppe]

a tactical mode you think a lot people focus this mode too much?
1.calculate ranking is suck too -120 for 1st people to lose
2.hard to find matchmaking can imagine? queing 3-4hrs with out room

[twilit robin]

Farm balance petitions

[queen magnet]

Please add a "random skin" feature that changes your shipgirl skin every sortie if you have multiple of them so the old skin wont be left out in the dust forever and can still appear

[restive spear]

Suggestion: Allow all real-money items (like the Fairwind Cruise Pass) to be purchased with Gems.

Reasoning: Many players are region-blocked from making direct in-app purchases through the Play Store/App Store. Since we can still use the Official Yostar Top-Up Center to buy Gems, making all items (including the Battle Pass) purchasable via Gems would allow region-blocked players to finally support the game and access all content.

[vapid ocean]

Shizuku saying "Yip! Yip!" in English comes off as immersion breaking and fairly jarring. Should have kept it as 'Kon! Kon!' Japan is known for using borrow words, we should do the same, keeping it as 'Kon! Kon!', or have some filter of her saying Kon! Kon! Others appear to agree with me outside of Discord. We're already using terms like 'Isekai' in our English lexicon, and there are others as well. No harm using 'Kon! Kon!' in Azur Lane. X post should stay, but I hope there's a way we can change it to our preferences in the game for our own personal use. Just use borrow words next time around.

There are also cases of localizers removing honorifics to downplay/waterdown translations. We should do our best to keep respect and authenticity at its highest level for Azur Lane, especially in translation/localization.

Shizuku is a Kitsune, correct? Yes, she claims to cosplay, but more I dug into her type she appears to be a real Kitsune. She's meant to represent a proper kitsune, so fully leaning into the 'Kon! Kon!' bit would feel more authentic. Less jarring changing it back to 'Kon! Kon!'

X · Apr 14, 2026, 3:00 AM

[regal elm]

"Yip yip" is just the common cry noise made by fox, of which kitsune spirit is based on. The word is now an accepted translation term for "Kon kon," so I don't see why they wouldn't go with "yip yip" in English.

In the context of cultural thing, "kon kon" is now a generic term for sniffing made by animals in animations such as wolves, dogs, and even cats. "Yip yip" is more exclusive to foxes.

[vapid ocean]

No it's not. I can see why Azur Lane is being messed with just by that answer alone. I can see why honorifics are being removed from Anime, highly disrespectful.

Koj Kon! Feels more immersive, far more proper. You can feel the full immersion with Kon! Kon!

Yip yip sounds like you took a few drinks, fell down the stairs and now need to rush to the hospital for being a drunkard. As stated before, its jarring and doesn't hold the same meaning as the Japanese version. With Kon! Kon! You can easily tell its tied to Kitsune stuff.

Edit: when you translate the meaning it still stays as "Kon!". Go translate it yourself.

[winter lance]

I wish at least 1 or 2 of the collab girls were classic DoA girls like Ayane or Momiji, its all new girls I don't know of.

[balmy locust]

"kon kon" is what a fox says in Japanese, "kun kun" is the sniffing noise in Japanese

[knotty dirge]

What an idiotic place to put the "hot spring". It doesnt even looks like a clickable icon, it is just like any other text. It took me at least 15 minutes to find it, if i hadnt read the update log i would have completely missed it. I bet the same guy designed this as the valentines event....

[lusty trench]

Now this is how the previous event should have been. A real SP Event with: 4 stages, no Hard Mode and no D3 Oil Costs on the last Stage. Take note of it and do better next time, Devs!

@balmy locust Not sure what you mean by that, since this SP Event (Venus Collab) has both an SP and an EX Stage. Would you also consider this a Major Event, then? And, just to clarify what the edited images, apparently, could not:** I never said having no SSR drop would define the kind of Event**. My point was the **Oil Cost being similar to a D3 Stage (from a Major Event) while having no reward to look up to (SSR drop). **

@regal elm Good thing you brought Virtual Tower up,** because that's the perfect example to prove my point.**

@hearty crane Enemy level has nothing to do with how extremely grindy and reward lacking this past Event was. Not only that, it adds nothing to the feedback at hand. So... not sure where you trying to get with that.

[hearty crane]

I am pretty sure the past event had the last stage at lvl 100, and this is a collab with last stage at lvl 80

[rugged spire]

yeah, they should add red dot or make it more clearly

[hearty crane]

Why are the skins only buyable till the 30th... but the event lasts till the first???

[signal echo]

Would this channel be appropriate for submitting translation feedback/fixes? Or otherwise the trello/somewhere else? I've been going through the story flow map slowly and noticing some translations which are odd or sometimes just plain wrong. For example, Abyssal Refrain Pt 1 #7 "Northern Lights", in english Kiev mentions "...It so happens I do know. Auroras are the result of fast-moving charged particles from the sun colliding with air particulars in the planet's magnetic field. Does that make sense to you?" but 99.9% sure 'particulars' should just be 'particles' here.

Also, unsure if the trello is still checked (the newest thing on there I could find was from 2023...) but would love to signal boost this post on it: https://trello.com/c/xO9tabWd/1395-add-story-unlock-to-unique-itemry-in-shop

Certain very old stories on the map (which admittedly do not add so much content, but still) are not war archives or reruns but the item obtained from them (e.g. Z Flag) can be bought, but no story is unlocked with it. Meaning new players cannot obtain for example Return of the War God or One Small Promise on the story flow map, and whatever others that may not be important/canon but still be in Memories is. And there are also other events in Memories that, again, might not be super important for the canon but are still in Memories and may not be unlocked by new players like "Lady of Tomorrow"; perhaps there can be some mechanic for these as well, like the Mini Event Gallery, even though there isn't really an associated item/skin/unlock ?

[fierce bramble]

[knotty dirge]

Remove the "Ship maintenance facility" gear from the tech boxes. Only 4 ship can use it in the whole game, there is no use in keeping it as a regular drop. Opening three rainbow boxes just to immediately scrap two of these useless gear from them just makes me want to tear myface off. It is disappointing and could be a quit moment in the early game where you need to grind a lot for gold and rainbow tech boxes then have all your efforts wasted.

agree with this, i was about to shop for skins before the event ends... but the skins are gone!

[lusty trench]

Greetings,

I don't know who rates the reports done trough the bot, or if the bot itself is programmed to automatically do so, but I have some complaints:

Under what circumstances does a bug that fails to deliver notifications of events that cost real-life time can be considered "Medium"? Sure "Critical" can be a bit exaggerated, since the game can still be played. But "Medium"? Considering that this can, and will, affect how many Commissions, Classes, Researches (even if these can be stacked), Meowficcer training, Guild Missions and PR Development I can plan to do?

To make matters worse, the above bug has the same label as my second reported bug, which is the one that doesn't let me adjust the UI width when playing at a resolution above 3440 x 1440. This is, at most, "Low", since all I have to do is change the resolution back to an adjustable value. It doesn't affect my daily play at all, unlike the previous bug!

Last, but not least, my 3rd bug report being labelled as "Low" is another mistake. Coming back to the "Home Screen", after any sortie, and seeing my Main Secretary just standing there, without saying Her usual line doesn't feel nice at all...

I REALLY want to believe that you guys are doing your best. But, seeing as you disregard bugs that affect basic and core systems of the game (kinda just like how you screwed 2026 Valentines and the loading screen situation), it's getting harder and harder to believe you guys even care anymore...

[lusty trench]

I applaud your effort to improve this game, from static images to these new ones. However, I don't like these two images, as they're are alts of the original Shipgirls and they are an affront to their Original Selfs. Why? Not only ALTERNATIVE VERSIONS should never replace the Original character, but also:

This "Bismarck" SHOULD have been a Retrofit, and not just a replacement;

This "Amagi" got an Oath Skin, which should never have been given to her, since she's an ALT, while the Real Amagi got discarded like some sort of trash;

Not to mention that some Shipgirls were changed, with no previous warning. I ask for an option to customise all our loading screens (game opening and sorties) because I was fond of the previous ones and I don't intend to see these 2 doppelgangers on my screen more than necessary.

Thank you

[finite dawn]

I downloaded probably 9 gigs of patches today, thats like 30% of the games size. I really love Island Planner, so I was hoping to see something cool at the start of the new season in my favourite mode, but when I logged in, I was just completely let down...

Due to Discord's character limit, my message is too long, so I'm attaching it as a .txt file.

I could go on with a lot more, but this is the bare minimum that probably comes to mind for anyone whos played this mode for more than a week. This mode has been out for 221+ days, do the devs seriously not see its problems???

My dear beloved devs, are you for real right now? Im utterly disappointed with the start of the new season.

[knotty dirge]

I agree, Bismarck Zwei is just dumb. There was only one Bismarck battleship, the UR should have been just a retrofit.
On the other hand, Amagi (CV) is just as valid (if not more) as Amagi (BB). The conversion works were already started at the time of her scrapping, so her final form was an unfinished carrier.

[cursive horizon]

Make this shit optional or remove it entirely. There is absolutely no need for such an intrusive message every time a screenshot is taken.

Also why is TB suddenly very chatty while you're running Operation Siren maps? She's constantly saying things in the corner and while it's neat shouldn't that be disabled by reducing TB chatter?

[limber pier]

The issue is, how would they be able to make it an event if they just made the main girl a retrofit? we’ve already seen that retrofit, even when given skins usually do not bump up sales.

[knotty dirge]

There are plenty more ships that are not in the game yet, we didnt needed another bismarck. She could have been a normal retrofit, then another ship as the event UR. They already introduced ww1 era ships to the Iron Blood. Any ship from Jutland would be a way more interesting shipgirl material than another Bismarck with basicaly the same design as the original one.

[winter lance]

Its been three years since Bismarck Zwei, get over it you clowns.

[lusty trench]

They could make the Retrofit require a copy of the UR, in order to unlock it, or just use said UR copy as a standalone unit. Or, even better: make them freely swap between forms (OG, Muse, Type II, Retrofit) just like HSR does. Would be optional, so those who like to have all different forms of a Shipgirl separately could also do so. Why so much complication, you ask? It's simple: not only the lore implies that Shipgirls can freely swap between said forms (one example with the An Shan sisters, being able to switch between vanguard and main fleet, the other with Bismarck herlself, changing between her OG and Type II at will), but also, the Shipgirl is the same. So why should I need to raise affinity for a Shipgirl that I already had it maxed, on their OG, and Real, form? Plus, the voicelines of all alts (except for the META, but these are different Shipgirls all-together) show that it is the same Shipgirl, just in a different form/rigging. Level and skill being reset makes sense: new rigging/skills, needs more xp.

Also, @winter lance, this is a game-feedback channel. Everyone is free to discuss things related to the game, regardless of how long said things have been in-game for. If you have nothing game-related to say, then save your insults, and stupidity, for other channels.

[lusty trench]

How can this "Amagi" be valid when:

The Real Amagi is on the Port Timeline Future Shinano saw?

The Real Amagi has appeared on several Port Timeline Events?

[knotty dirge]

I was talking about the real ship. The carrier conversion work already started before she was damaged by the earthquake, so in real life she "died" as an incomplete carrier, not as a battlecruiser. AL lore is kinda messed-up and all over the place, so i dont really care about it.

[naive cobalt]

this channel is for game feedback, not lore discussion
while giving opinions on characters and their story is fine, discussion between each other which ship is "valid" or not and what happened to them story wise should be kept to #al-lore , thank you

[sleek berry]

new UI is annoying, i need to wait 5 second for each dorm resupply (idk why it is always lagging like that), please OPTIMIZE THE GAME UI
sometimes it reaching 1 minute to wait for UI to load

Device (iQoo neo 10, snapdragon 8sg4)
also happening on PC emulator (Bluestacks, system specs using i7 12700H & RTX 3060) (default settings 4 core, 8gb ram mode on emulator, 240dpi 900p resolution)

[daring cosmos]

Why don't the beautiful artworks you create for loading screens, promotional images, or April Fool's Day posts become in-game skins? I'm absolutely certain that many people would love to have one of these designs as a skin.

[cursive horizon]

I remember loving the hell out of that loading screen and being surprised Ibuki and Roon never got those outfits. Those were the sorts I gladly spent money on in the early years of the game's run.

Taking screenshots continues to be an exercise in frustration. You have to tap the tiny [x] on the sharing notification, something that shouldn't even exist, instead of tapping anywhere. All these extra taps are completely unnecessary; the game worked just fine without this "feature" for 8 years.

[cursive vale]

Is there a way to remove this feature? And if not. Please fix it so that it functions in portrait mode. If you take a screenshot in portrait mode, it locks the game and you cannot click anything

[hearty crane]

Think I saw customizable loading screen. Thanks for that... so sick of watching the same ones for 2 years now

[somber gull]

Reminding you guy for the 4th time that there are other hull types other than battleship

[hazy wolf]

i wish this daily would give bonus offensive books, the amount of offensive skills in the game outnumber the other two by a lot. i am always running low on offensive books despite buying then from every availible shop

better yet let us convert skill books, don't care if i'd half to pay. the academy interface could be modernized aswell, auto using books when one runs out, craft up to rainbow level, make all the rainbow skill books one that gives bonus to all 3 skill types... give skill xp from battle the way meta receives it ..

[lusty trench]

Not sure if you guys read X, but here's a bit of feedback:

[lethal plank]

Any chance we can expand the skin projection feature to all shipgirls now? With some of the more popular shipgirls having upwards of 5 skins now I don't find it feasible to spend gems on dock space to just use dupe ships for skin slots. While yes I know players do spend gems on dock space to do this I don't think it's a reason enough to not implement the skin projection feature to all shipgirls at this point. After all players likely spent money on gems to make space for META shipgirls before they got their own separate dock, so I don't see why players spending should decide whether a QoL feature gets added or not.

With the additional fleet slots being added now can we get more secretary slots in the future? There are many shipgirls I really like these days but having only 5 slots is too limiting considering the fleet is reaching 800 girls now and I like way too many of them to only have 5 on rotation, surely it's something that can be expanded upon?

[languid ledge]

Can you add packs to web store please ? Other games have it.

[cursive horizon]

Did that mandatory update recently also change how Azur Lane interacts with iphone? Because ever since the update, the little horizontal bar that comes up when going to switch applications has now been appearing almost every time I touch the bottom of the screen, like swiping on the dock menu or tapping on the Operation Siren map. It's really obnoxious accidentally switching out of the game like this, it never used to be like that.

[twilit robin]

dear yostar, manjuu, devs, thank you kindly for the loading screens customization much appreciated! 🙏

[lusty trench]

Dear Yostar/Manjuu:

I would like to voice my utmost and deepest gratitude to all the wonderful and lovely people involved on the Custom Loading Screen endeavour. It must have taken a great toll out of you all, so I hope you are fairing well. Not only does it allow me to, again, freely play Azur Lane in public, it also allows me to pick the ones I like. Now, if I may be so bold, may I ask for this new feature to be extended to the Intro Loading Screens and Login Screen? I was very fond of the old Intros and I think an option to revert the change, or, even better, customise them, would greatly add even more to the experience that is playing Azur Lane. Lastly, I hope this missive of mine bears no resemblance to provoking a dispute with the wonderful members of this lovely and helpful Community. Bless You All

[hearty crane]

There is no reason the "custom gallery" icon is in gallery, and it does NOTHING. Either when using it refer/quick jumpto the UI setting, or hide said option till it's enabled
(also, wtf are comics doing as options for loading screens? Can we disable them. The list doesn't need 400 fluff entries)

[limber pier]

I like the comics being in the gallery for custom stuff

I like seeing them in the loading screens

[neon pike]

it's good that you guys finally add custom loading screens but please include all the remaining load screens, as it is nearly 70-80% of the custom loading screens are comic, which is disappointing

[knotty dirge]

Please add all the loading screens to the custom pool. Also, add an option to remove the text and speech bubbles from the comics if they are used as loading screens.

[hearty crane]

I don't say they should be removed, just a toggle or something between the 2 not to overwhelm us

[limber pier]

apparently, they’re gonna do that piece meal over update so yeah

[supple frigate]

Why wishing well in light doesn't have Maury, Wichta, Leipzig and Doretshire?

[edgy rock]

those 4 are unlocked in the memento>collections menu. screenshot shows Maury. they wont appear in any gacha or wishing well until theyre unlocked. (side note, this is the game feedback channel. the tech support or bug report channels would have been a better place to ask.)

[minor frigate]

Hi yep I was just wondering where they were, they should be in our Wishing well after we already unlocked them, as they are in light banner, now I cant even get them back with the wishing well event... This need to be adjusted

[minor frigate]

Also we need to be able to skip stories in one go, its so annoying having to skip 39 stories one by one (for this event) for people who doesnt care about story mode, where is this option ? =/

[scarlet dune]

Thanks for the new website topup options, it should've been introduced earlier but better late than never. It's great that event packs are displayed here.

While there are discounts (5%), other improvements i can share is to introduce a web topup exclusive pack or something unique and to allow for more payment options other than paypal and stripe.

Thanks.

[fresh verge]

Agreed, my country doesn't have Paypal/Stripe. So please allow for more options!

[slender meteor]

Hi, I wanted to know when Hindenburg and Kearsarge will get the coin enhancement option.

[timber mist]

Shoue be January next year

[thorny mica]

Give Repulse a UR retrofit and make her outperform Lion pls

[vivid shore]

I was thinking you all could maybe make a PC port of the game. My Samsung tablet went kaput and now I'm installing/updating the game on my phone.

[distant niche]

Please add a sorting option for Ships that can heal, Overshield, skills that amplify HE Shells/AP Shells/Normal Shells etc. This feedback may have been asked already previously since we now have about 800 unique ships.

[zealous jasper]

Allow us to use old loading screens from previous years as favorites

[icy prairie]

I just wanted to share how appreciative I am of the new official payment website. As an European I had been getting robbed blind by google's fees often paying way above what was the price shown in-game, and now, not only do I only pay the asking price, it also comes with a 5% discount. It featuring all the packs available for purchase in-game is also great.

Thank you, and have a good week.

[hasty iris]

Can you lessen the cutscenes in this game? Especially in the extra event? It's too much.

[cursive horizon]

Why reduce the amount of scenes when you can just skip them if you don't want to read. Let those of us who look forwards to the story have what little fun the game still offers.

[hidden cedar]

I feel like this could have been worded better. Maybe "POPULAR CHARACTER VOICES"

[velvet adder]

How about "popular voice actresses"

[plush summit]

"character voices" is more gender neutral, although it's not like we have any male VAs

[velvet adder]

this is the first time I've seen "character voice" used 👀

and I think in general people are used to the term VA more

[oblique panther]

I think it’s mainly the popularity thing that needs rewording

[plush summit]

I think Japanese abbreviate it as CV?

[oblique panther]

Japanese use CV as character voice yeah

[plush summit]

but yeah the "popularity" part

[velvet adder]

^

popularity bugs me too

[bleak vale]

If there is any issue/bug/localisation issue, feel free to tell us here!

We will try our best to fix all of them!

[velvet adder]

You guys mentioned "selected characters" in regards to live2d interaction but the word "selected" feels off in this context.

[ornate basin]

limited

[velvet adder]

that can work

[plush summit]

or "select characters"

[velvet adder]

or "a select few characters" too

[ornate basin]

I think al is trying their best to provide live 2D now to most skins

[velvet adder]

yeah you can tell with the recent changes to jp

but the word "selected" still feels off

[oblique panther]

We’re not going gender neutral with our commander hm

I mean unicorn calls you onii-chan but

[ornate basin]

I pointed that out too

I was like

guess im a male now

this aint it chief

[velvet adder]

sucks for any female players because I have seen girls playing this game too in real life

was pretty neat

[bold estuary]

It's okay, we can all be male...

[ornate basin]

I’d rather die!

[plush summit]

his -> their
?

[cold apex]

my friends who play AL are female tho

[oblique panther]

Not really sure if I want to be male but if I can marry these shipfus then alright

[bold estuary]

Hmm.

That would also mean that the voice actresses should change their lines from onii-chan

To shikikan-sama

[oblique panther]

Unicorns the only one I can think of lol

[bold estuary]

^

[velvet adder]

yeah unicorn

feelsbad

[oblique panther]

Well I’m used to the “Oh I thought you were a guy” messages on discord anyway

I’ll be her onii-chan

[velvet adder]

it's hard though since unicorn is the imouto type so then what phrase will she use and is yostar even willing to go through with this in the first place?

[bold estuary]

If they really want to go gender neutral, captain is the way to go.

It's not only Yo-star, but then all the other versions too unless they make it EN exclusive.

[oblique panther]

I mean unless yostar decides to add in “pick your gender” then it’s probably not gonna happen

[velvet adder]

yeah

rip female players

[bold estuary]

It's okay.

I'm a boi, gimme your otome games

I'll let myself be called lady

[oblique panther]

Gimme your gal games then

And I think we’re going off topic oops

[bold estuary]

I don't have any.

[velvet adder]

so basically current issues: "popularity character voice" and for female players the bit about how the game is not going gender neutral with the commander player character

maybe the live2d short descriptive sentence too

[hidden cedar]

So we're becoming PC now.

[oblique panther]

Is it meant to be stuck or is my internet bad

[bold estuary]

It usually does that

[plush summit]

it took longer than expected for me as well

fairly big file I think

[bold estuary]

Probably allocating memory as well

[oblique panther]

Yeah

[hidden cedar]

slow phone + high memory

[oblique panther]

And I’m also super low on memory which sucks too

[hidden cedar]

Winning combination

[ornate basin]

mine has been the exact same

for 1 hour and 21 mins

[velvet adder]

Not pc unless there's enough outcry regarding how the commander is referred to? Further talk on that would be offtopic for now I guess.

[ornate basin]

I love it!

[ornate basin]

according to testflight it is illegal to download through data so I have to wait till the morning

[velvet adder]

awww yeah

[oblique panther]

Illegal to download through data?

[prime kindle]

welp admiral is male in game. And it's not like the only game where the game has only one gender for the mc

[ornate basin]

which I would rather download through data than wifi

[oblique panther]

Never seen that before lol

[ornate basin]

I was joking

but the game refuses to download

[oblique panther]

It’s targeting a male audience I guess

[prime kindle]

touken ranbo or whatever the game name is with beautiful sword boys assumes the mc as female

[velvet adder]

yeah nothing we can really do on that bit

[hidden cedar]

To be fair, shipgirls.

[prime kindle]

and gay mariage is still a thing only satan worshippers do

kek

[oblique panther]

They’re not gonna assume the main fan base are lesbians i guess

Though a lot of girls do play (even Kizuna Ai aaa)

[velvet adder]

that's because

we have the power of cute/sexy/beautiful shipgirls!

[oblique panther]

Yes!!

We attract anyone with any tastes with our lovely shipgirls !

I’m gonna be more alive here once beta starts. Really just been lurking around announcements for the last few weeks lol

[prime kindle]

Also Jack from fgo calls me mommy no matter the gender and still don't pull out the genderequality card on fgo forums

:^)

[ornate basin]

/offtopic/

[hasty gyro]

^

[prime kindle]

it becomes offtopic once it's about inequality.... :(
(ok i got bored, subject is closed.)

[grim tree]

Hmmm

Still Cant DL Beta so ill just wait

[verbal steppe]

👌

[prime kindle]

welp

we could only predownload the game

servers only starts tomorrow

[hasty gyro]

If there are any comments on the store page writing, should we hold off until tomorrow? Can’t imagine dev team would be soliciting for that at the moment, but...

[azure raven]

LV

[velvet adder]

But that translation is awful

[harsh escarp]

So far the title screen UI translation is spot on

The one about not able to update the data XD

[hasty gyro]

Sure, just some minor clumsiness on the TestFlight page is all I meant

Comma usage "organize up to six ships into a flotilla", use of "his" instead of "their" for the last bullet, etc.

[zinc yew]

anyone on ios also having a really long download time lol

this file must be huge

[hasty gyro]

It's 1000 MB

Supposedly

[zinc yew]

dang

is there still additional assets to download ingame

lol

[hasty gyro]

Not sure yet, we just hit the splash screen saying servers are down

[hexed moss]

This sounds like the premise of a horror game

[hasty gyro]

So we'll find out tomorrow

[hexed moss]

Collect and evolve

[zinc yew]

i see

[hexed moss]

Collect and evolve until it is done

I also think that more than 300 ships is kind of baity

since it ain't true

It's more than 250 ships

but it depends if you inflate numbers by saying a Kai is a separate ship

[velvet adder]

iirc Kais count as a different entry in the list

[hasty gyro]

I also doubt they're planning to update the storefront that much

[velvet adder]

So it's not incorrect

[hasty gyro]

So probably somewhat forward-looking number too

[hexed moss]

They are technically correct

[hasty gyro]

The best kind of correct

[ornate basin]

kais wont be in the game at start tho will they

[hexed moss]

250 is a cooler number though

Also what bothers me is the fact that the app is named AzurLane but everywhere else it is named Azur Lane

[strong wren]

Yeah change the 300 ships bit unless there are 300

[dusky glacier]

guys how can I dl the apk I didn't receive the link for apk dl or anything

[hexed moss]

#server-news

[dusky glacier]

y but that telling me To connect with my account with the access but im actually with the account

[velvet adder]

wait what

wdym by that

[plush summit]

"collect and upgrade" sounds better

[azure raven]

is it an apk file or does it link you do an google play store??

[velvet adder]

this is the wrong channel for that question

this is for actual feedback

[hexed moss]

Should be help

[azure raven]

i mean tbh

[dusky glacier]

ah yh sry x)

[azure raven]

i prefer to place my question here since general chat is pure cancer atm

[slim vigil]

So a friend of mine with a beta code is having trouble installing

attempts are resulting in an "Element not found" error

[hexed moss]

#gameplay-help

[plush summit]

I think #gameplay-help is a better place for that

[slim horizon]

@bleak vale make IDR available as purchase currency in OBT please

[raven crater]

The game is only going to be available in US and Canada at launch, so you will have to use a US/Canadian itunes account to download and make purchases or uh... whatever the equivalent is for android (I have an iPhone)

[noble mural]

google play

[slim horizon]

my country currency always not supported if the game not avail in playstore

[hexed moss]

You can pay using paypal IIRC

but you can't pay using your google play wallet

[slim horizon]

my debit card can't be used for paypal

[raven crater]

I'm not sure if the Test Flight description is going to be the final app store description but as someone mentioned it has far too many commas. I'm going to suggest an alternate wording here

[wispy reef]

if you will launch the game only in NA at the first moment, how many time do you think about release EU/others?

[raven crater]

An ideal naval warfare game like you've always wanted!

• A unique mix of the RPG, 2D shooter, and tactical genres combined into a beautifully designed anime game
• Easy and intuitive 2D side-scrolling gameplay is the main feature of Azur Lane
• Organize up to six ships into a flotilla, break through enemy gunfire, and defeat them!
• Both AI and manually controlled gameplay are available, choose whichever you like!
• Build your own fleet: Azur Lane has a wide range of warships from all over the world.
• More than 250 ships, each with its unique stats and represented by a beautiful character!
• Live 2D interaction technology is available for selected characters
• An advanced relationship system allows the player to strengthen ships to their maximum efficiency!

I'd also consider that bullet points 1 and 2 are very similar and bullet points 3 and 5 are very similar. It's possible they could be consolidated into one bullet, or one of them could be expanded into more detail

[wispy reef]

that type of description is much better than the actual one

[raven crater]

Also, this phrasing removes "his" and keeps the gender of the commander ambiguous

even though onii-chan is a dead giveaway

[rustic jungle]

you mean the ships are all open to marrying a female commander? i'd pay to see that

[hexed moss]

I'd pay to be that

[velvet adder]

well

game treats you as a male commander

[prime kindle]

who will wear the "cannon" for the "night battle"?

[rustic jungle]

flip a coin

[oblique panther]

Female commander x ships OTP

Obviously better than male commander 👀

[velvet adder]

the game doesn't treat you as a male commander, the game treats you as a chicken (gender neutral) commander

[oblique panther]

🐔

[bold estuary]

[mellow dome]
