full map auto?
left walrus
No
A simple thing like finishing a battle in auto skips drop screen and levelup/exp gain screen
cerulean palm
So-- skip node battle?
ornate basin
should make that toggleable as I would like to see the drop screen and exp/dmg screen
left walrus
At least make it so we don't have to tap during that screen
ornate basin
ah I see what you mean there
left walrus
I always feel like too much tap after battle
naive cobalt
I'm not saying go full censorship, but probably some amount of moderation in comments would be useful
velvet adder
Do you even read chats?
velvet adder
Well, if you read chat you would find the real degenerates
naive cobalt
Chat is live, and you can't really do anything, other than
- Really strict word filter (tried, didn't work)
- Moderator in every channel (just no)
velvet adder
Rime is a gentleman compared with those 
naive cobalt
But comments are there all the time
someone gets this game, gets his Prinz
Opens comments
"Hitler did nothing wrong"
Ook
Really nice points for the game
left walrus
I know some commander name like NETORARE
But Onah*le? That's new
I just want to have an extremwly strict filter so we can have "commit not alive" or something
But that's just useless
velvet adder
But that filter was just bad, even "god" was censored for some reason
left walrus
How is it not working? I didn't look at the chat when i first played
naive cobalt
It was too strict and they removed it
cerulean palm
Honestly strict chat censorship is giving me bad experience as it's censor some words because its contains censored word
naive cobalt
Or made less strict, no idea
left walrus
Class was censored on the ass part until now
naive cobalt
Yeah, I'm not saying word filter
Just comment not being public if there's a certain words in it
left walrus
People (especially those in room 3/4) uses cl@$$ instead, which makes the ass part even more obvious
naive cobalt
I'm not even talking "bad words", but controversial stuff, like "Hitler" or "nazi" or whatever
left walrus
What's with your name that needs censoring anyway @naive cobalt
left walrus

velvet adder
A lot of people named themselves Hitler/Adolf/etc with different capital letters in the name, i don't even know if they are still playing

Now thats funny

Oh wait I remember Lazunekko (which is SUPPOSED TO BE MY NICKNAME THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET FFS) got blocked for sum reason
Or maybe someone stole it idk
velvet adder
It seems it is already taken in some server other than Avrora
left walrus
Back on my suggestion, what do you guys think?
cerulean palm
Which one
left walrus
Feature where auto let you slide through drop screen and exp screen without tapping
cerulean palm
It's good
velvet adder
It's good, but they will probably tell us to not be that lazy
left walrus
Just in auto anyway
Not completely like some people suggest before
Waduhek i deleted it by accident
Ah well i can explain again later
Imma sleep a bit
edgy heron
there ought to be a notification for the dorm running out of food
raven crater
@cerulean palm Nickname change has been suggested, but it is actually tied to your account ID in a fashion. As in, nicknames are required to be unique. So even if it's something they add, I think they would have to gate it behind something.
velvet adder
regarding the new blue squares effect when you touch the screen, is there a way to disable it? i rather not have it.
rare jay
Is the tap effect not on iOS? Or is it just me?
velvet adder
also want to second the opinion on unicorn's dialogue not needing a re-translation, the original translation on words such "onii-chan" "destroy mode" "N.T.D." were way less awkward and easier to understand.
i am not sure, i am not on iOS, the effect came into being after a small update earlier today.
rare jay
Yeah, I got the small update earlier, but the effect wasn't added. Odd
raven crater
The tap effect is unique to android. I'm not sure if it's an android feature, an app feature that occurs automatically via certain android phones, or something that needs to be implemented by the dev to occur
I know that Brave Frontier got something like that and they hated it too lol
snow pendant
can the translation be hentai instead? uwu
rare jay
Ah, so it is for android. Thanks as always, Navi

If possible, having the option to disable the tap animation would be nice. It can be distracting during play.
naive cobalt
if I might add about tap animation - I think it looks pretty bad because it tries to follow your touch and then loops again and again if you hold your finger down.
so maybe changing it so it appears only in the place of touch and only once will make it look better
also having there just big solid diamond shape doesn't look that good imo
something more abstract, like "cloud of pixels" or whatever, might be less obtrusive (or just making it animation shorter, so it fades away faster)
astral kiln
I'd love some quality options like disabling screen shake and/or have a static image as a background in the battles, etc. (you get the drift). My phone is a bit older and all this stuff makes it lag pretty bad.
naive cobalt
quality options was suggested, yes

Yuudachi has text wrapping issue 
i'm not sure if I should report it as a "bug" or not

If others look fine - it's just coincidence lol
granite narwhal
I know most character has
naive cobalt

naive cobalt
it's text warping in general
so if they'll fix it for someone - it'll fix itself for everyone
timid trench
the info in enemy details says vanguard. but in the mission list and the post game details says recon. maybe change it to the same thing for better QOL experience?
raven crater
@left walrus Skip drop screen would be fine if it were 1) a toggle or 2) not skippable if you obtain a new ship
@naive cobalt I'll try to get some information on potential comment moderation. I know the word filter itself is still pretty bad but regardless I think that will be an issue, so there needs to be a more comprehensive solution.
Also, tart refers to "a promiscuous woman." Not really sure how they discovered that one, it's sort of out of fashion now.
@snow pendant Hentai isn't a translation, baka 
. But seriously though, that is an accurate translation of hentai and makes it make sense to non-weebs. Otherwise people would complain they "forgot" to translate it 
@timid trench Mentioned already, I think it's in one of the translation albums.

next suggestion: droprate percentage on each item T_T)
i've been farming 1-4 like 100 times today, but no Renown drop
left walrus
@raven crater what if it got integrated into the auto mode? Like it will only skip if you play the battle during the auto mode only, and yea it won't be skipped if you obtain new ship or elite ship above.

it would be really nice to have xx.xx% droprate on yellow part:

It's kinda funny that they're showing off the beach skins while still trying to do the "WHO COULD THIS BE IN Z-FORCE" thing
Though they could be smarter than FGO NA and assume we can just google what's coming

so they shouldn't do any teasers... because you already know all the events?
raven crater
Not everything is about people who have already played JP 👀
naive cobalt
And AL EN won't follow CN or JP schedule as closely as FGO NA does, so it doesn't makes much sense anyway

Or you can just google "Force Z" and you get the same result i don't think the objective is to be mysterious, but to have an impact

Do you think theyll add someway to turn down the visual flourishes in battle? sometimes there is so much onscreen at once I cant see what im doing. which ends up with me hitting every torpedo and bullet i cant see which in turn causes a lot of health lost.
naive cobalt
having graphics options was suggested, I guess this can be part of it
as well as option to turn down carrier's sprites
which take half of the screen 
calm thunder
its mainly just the water spouts and airplanes that just fly over the screen
I know the planes flying over are suppose to tell you that they are on the way, but they can just add a small icon somewhere (that and you already have that white circle appear around you)

About Avrora's skill - after spending disproportionate amount of time trying to translate her skill from chinese (it wasn't worth it btw) I think something like "Shot That Changed The Era" would work way better (maybe not "Shot", but I dunno what else to use here)
clear heron
considering the circumstances, dropping in something pertaining to the revolution might be appropriate.
naive cobalt
that's what "changed the era" supposed to reference tho
In chinese it's "generation-changing cannon" according to google
(more accurately "Changed generation of cannon", but you can guess what it means)

You can add one small reward in daily missions (like a small amout of oil/gold, one random blue blueprint) for do the HARDS maps. Many people miss that (more new players) or veterans forget about them before the daily reset (believing that they are already clear the 6/6)
For example I use my Daily tab mission as my "things to do list" and that would help to more people not to forget HARDS or new players to know where get blueprints.
(I know HARD maps are not newby friendly but at least they would have an small incentive for try to beat)

It would be better to name it "Comet" in here so it's consistent with the naming in design screen. I got confused at first thinking it was a different plane type

It was Comet
And then it was renamed
If anything - they need to rename it to Suisei wherever it is called that
gloomy cradle
Yeah, it's Comet everywhere else from what I saw

Or maybe it was the other way around, now I'm not so sure
Anyway - they should be consistent, you're right about that

<@&460641442914631680>
First of all, sorry to ping the role, but this issue has gone too far.
I have previously report the issue personally to @bleak vale via PM regarding the issue, but instead of getting it fixed, the issue just grow larger. Yep, I'm talking about AzurLane EN Video Ads.
Too much stuff that goes beyond the original game featured inside the AzurLane EN YT Ads, and too much to be recorded one by one: from the "false" feature (ship grows graphically by leveling up which actually is not, equipment in 3D images, interactive dorms, etc) to unreleased content and skins (which is not completely false, but should not be there if not implemented yet).
For staffs, please kindly look up to this with your marketing team and fixed it as soon as possible. It's starting to creating a ruckus and commotion towards your "clickbait" and "false" advertisement. If not dealt properly, this will in future give a huge backlash to the EN server, as it is commonly happened on game with "false ads".
I understand you want to make the ads as catchy as possible, but make it with the correct content, not false one please. This is for the good of the server as well.
naive cobalt
I don't think this role is pingable
sterile token
Well, I can mention it, so it should be pingable www
Again, sorry for pinging a role, but I do think this one need an immediate attention since already going out of hand
naive cobalt
I think some people are blowing this way out of proportion. Yes, ads are bad, but I really doubt that anyone actually expect those ads to be accurate in any way.
Especially when they look worse than the game itself.
I don't see how "I downloaded your game and it isn't as bad as I expected" can spark any backlash.
Turn some people off - maybe, but that's different problem and players aren't the ones suffering from it.
velvet adder
Would be nice if those ads were better, though.
We know how fuckawful mobile game ads are, sure, but that doesn't mean it has to be like this
sterile token
Exactly
Those ads can be made better, or at least convey the actual game features
Bit blown out of proportion for catchiness is fine, but do not give ppl false perception
That's what I'm saying about
ornate basin
the ads look like those poorly designed chinese games that dont care about the game so they give the most memey ads to spread (the belfast one that is)
wanton frost
iirc the ad company responsible for the growing/evolving by leveling ads has already been cut off.
frail epoch
With fixing and growing the EN servers, I don't think they have the time, money or care for ads

rough vortex
Just checked the suggestions and surprisingly nobody has proposed adding a max ammo increase to the gem store
Like giving +1 max ammo for all fleets from the normal 5/5 ammo for 100 gems
naive cobalt
just use vestal
rough vortex
Well repairing and doing damage are two different things
naive cobalt
she gives +1 ammo
rough vortex
wait she does?
naive cobalt
yes
rough vortex
sorry im not familiar with her build, any other ships that give extra max ammo?
naive cobalt
Akashi
rough vortex
figures...
naive cobalt
but not on EN yet
rough vortex
Well then why not added this to make up for that fact?
rough vortex
its not that heavily p2w
naive cobalt
breaks balance completely
naive cobalt
if it is just "you can buy this only once" - what's even the point of doing that and not just increasing ammo count?
and maps are designed around specific amount of ammo
rough vortex
It wouldnt be a one time thing, let say until 10/10
true
so you could add a level limit
naive cobalt
so it becomes p2w
rough vortex
Not if you add a level limit for upgrades
snow reef
increasing ammo size decreases nodes difficulty, using repair ships for extra ammo is a tradeoff since repair ships aren't all that good at healing actually
rough vortex
Correct, but wouldnt it be handy if there was more then 1 way to increase max ammo?
rough vortex
To summarize what it could be, something like 100 gems for +1 max ammo, which is behind a level limit of starting at lvl 20 and for each 10 levels gained you can purchase an additional ammo until you have 10/10 ammo at lvl 70
snow reef
the extra ammo also has strategic implications
since you can visit the port only once
making you less susceptible to ambushes
naive cobalt
and you do realize that ammo past 4\X gives you damage boost. right?
that becomes literally "pay money to be stronger"
snow reef
it'd need a complete node rework for that to be feasible
rough vortex
Oh true, so that could be tuned to work
snow reef
also increased ammo means longer nodes
naive cobalt
And they'll need to balance nodes from perspective that you DO have those upgrades
rough vortex
maybe something like for each increase of ammo the 10% buff decreases?
naive cobalt
so game will become few times harder if you're f2p
rough vortex
yes that is very true, so maybe it would be unlocked after a certain world?
snow reef
that's 40 battles with no debuffs
naive cobalt
what will it change?
rough vortex
longer farming sessions
snow reef
I don't think there's any node with 40 battles is there?
it sounds all around worse for f2p players while only making the game a chore for people paying for them
rough vortex
Why would it be worse for f2p?
snow reef
you need a stronger fleet to survive multiple battles
rough vortex
its 100 gems, not all that much
naive cobalt
because game have to be balanced around you having these
rough vortex
The 10% buff isnt that big of a deal, however the empty ammo -50% is
so maybe once under a certain amount of ammo you get a debuff
snow reef
uh
why would you even add
ammo increase
to then
make it work like having no ammo?
rough vortex
obviously it wouldnt be 50%
naive cobalt
however the empty ammo -50% is
so you have to play around that limitation
that's part of the game's challenge
it's intentional
rough vortex
how would you "play around it"?
ammo without a refill you cant get
all ships are affected by the 50%
snow reef
not doing all battles in a node
naive cobalt
then you're supposed to do it without ammo
rough vortex
that doesnt make any sense
snow reef
also investing in better ambush evading
rough vortex
why not just take away ammo then?
naive cobalt
games aren't designed randomly
snow reef
the nodes are designed so that ammo is a limiting factor for your strategy
naive cobalt
ammo is a resource you have to manage
rough vortex
early game thats fine
but at world 12 ship lvl 110 matches your fleet at full power
not 50%
snow reef
later in the game you don't bring only 1 fleet to the node
snow reef
there's nodes with up to 4 fleets
rough vortex
yeah
naive cobalt
ok, I'm done, it's going nowhere
rough vortex
just thought that maybe there should be a method to avoid that temporarily
yeah
Though yeah I do see your point Restart looking over the convo. Probably was added for a good reason. Not enough going for additional ammo to add it.
as in the debuff
calm thunder
I would reccomend on the rewards for the weekly missions that give a Bulin, Gold, Oil, and Cubes that the cubes are put on what you see the rewards are, as at the moment you only see the Bulin, Gold, and Oil which may lead to players not caring as much about getting them done. (granted though that players that know about the cubes already would go after them)
calm thunder
yes just give me a second to screencap
naive cobalt
that should be a bug then I'd guess
rough vortex
Oh yeah, I have seen the same thing
calm thunder
The mission that has 3 rewards on this screen generally give cubes as well, however you do not see that.
rough vortex
^
calm thunder
I would recommend instead of seeing per say oil replace it with the cubes
calm thunder
It's a relatively minor thing, but it may provide better incentive to less knowledgeable players to complete weekly missions.
ornate basin
gives some nice unsaid drills
naive cobalt
if wiki is not lying
ornate basin
we do not lie
calm thunder
The general point still stands as the 4 reward missions do not show all the rewards
ornate basin
worst case scenario its a mistake
velvet adder
Today i tested and discovered that enemies can't die from HE's burn effect, they stop getting damage or start getting "0 damage" when they are at 1hp, for example if the burn is doing tics of 70 damage and the enemy has 58 hp left, they will take 57 damage and start taking 0 damage from each "tic of burn damage". Well, this is either a bug in both jp and en servers, or just a weird game mechanic. If this is made intentionally to balance burn damage since it is too strong, then it is ok, but if it isn't that, then it feels really weird to see enemies taking 0 burn damage at 1hp.
frail epoch
About the ammo limit thing, if you add a way to increase ammo that means the player will beat every stage with Fleet 1 only, making other Fleets useless. Just use strategy and use both fleets to beat em all
naive cobalt
it was reported, yes

frail epoch
"where did I put" sounds normal, maybe not something that suits her character but eh
calm thunder
"seen" and "did" do not fit very well into the sentence here together. "have" would fit more naturally into the sentence in the place of "did". the way the sentence is made makes it seem like someone placed the sentence fragment "Have you seen where" with the question "where did I put my planes"
frail epoch
I guess
ornate basin
where did I put
IS normal
but you say “where did I put IT” not this
unless you go “where did I put this paper” that you have in mind
shes referring to multiple planes
should be “have you seen where I put my planes”
raven crater
@gloomy cradle Do you have some examples of places where the plane is still named Comet re: https://discordapp.com/channels/456397991847395339/468804193646542849/489054886525272064
@sterile token They know the ads are bad, you don't need to ping them about it.
@fringe summit I'll add it to suggestions
@rough vortex Max ammo increase would be absolutely game breaking.The map difficulty is designed around a 5 ammo default Also you don't need it just get good (Also I notice restart made all my same points kek). You can do no ammo battles just fine if your ships are leveled well and you're strategic about leaving small fleets for the end. Heck, you can even bring a full fleet with a Vestal/Akashi in it specifically to give you an extra ammo if you need it and make that your trash fleet (Unicorn, Akashi, some sort of BB like Hood + Phoenix, Cleveland, Portland frontline or more zombie ships idk).
In order to make what you want even remotely balanced and feasible requires a lot of adjustments to current game mechanics and balance at which point... why bother?
@calm thunder If you can find a mission that actually gives 4 rewards take a screenshot of it. I actually have never noticed this.
@velvet adder I'm going to assume it's intentional if it exists in both servers.
rough vortex
Yeah I agreed eventually with Restart, too good and too many drawbacks...
calm thunder
@raven crater Here you go, the mission and the reward. I know for sure that other weekly missions that list 3 rewards on that screen do give Cubes instead of drills as well but I already did them for this week, So I would need to wait till next weeks to confirm. I am unsure of dailes at the moment.

Also the weekly complete 20 commissions has a hidden 300 oil reward

Hmm... although AL already has both a Twitter binding and a Facebook binding option, it’d be very convenient imo if there was also a “Bind Discord Acc” option in the settings. Therefore, if someone forgets their twitter or Facebook account when he/she attempts to log in again, Discord could be a third option. Idk if this was already suggested but why not

PVP Matchmaking on top 50 is absolutely garbage

you need to build your fleet differently, try using faster firing guns to destroy explosive boats easier or taking more tankier and survivable boats

Yeah, you can't necessarily use the same fleet for everything. That's just how it is.

but why would the bosses in urangt ops be 60-80 or osmething (idm) but hte bomb boats be lv 90?
naive cobalt
bomb boats don't shoot back, you just need to tank them
winter escarp
and i was using orange , level 6 , 7 and one is 10, and my lv 80 ships using those was not killing them
they where ripping my non 100s like paper though
for torp tubes
Don’t you think I should of noticed this in the boss , for urgent ops, as in able to observe performance issues, where in bomb boats my lv 80 ships couldn’t kill them having 3 orange torpedo tubes, one being +6, one +7, other +10? It just seems weird that one daily would have lv 90 bomber boats while ops has like lv 70 bosses or w/e being a complete push over for the team I made that I was able beat the boats with. Basically I’m trying to get across that the lv 70 uragnt ops is not much harder then the 50 ones while the 70 bomber boats has a significant gap over the 50 one
basically i am suggesting it seems the 70 urangt ops should be harder to match the scaling the bomber boats did
naive cobalt
You're comparing two absolutely different dailies with different enemies and different goal
winter escarp
?
naive cobalt
your fleet was equipped and prepared to deal with enemies as it most likely the same you're using for farming\advancing the game
it wasn't equipped for dealing with bomb boats and most likely was just completely wrong fleet for that purpose
so it was too hard
that's the answer
winter escarp
nope, for the bomber boats level 50 > 70 ones, has a noticeable gap, thats fine, but the bomber boats are rated lv 90, given this, why is there hardly a differenc for the 50 and 70 urgent ops? the level 70 one is just as easy at the 50 one
the second boss got ONESHOTED by hood, where the boats dont die from a level 80 ship using 7-10 orange torpedo tubes? that is a very different gap
plus the boats are lv 90 in the lv 70 ops one
the bosses are way smaller then that in the lv 70 one
winter escarp
also i think the wording on the gold needs to be changed, idk if the reward is bugged or the wording, but "meny" from lv 50 tends to be around 1k, then "numerious" is only like 200 gold more? I was expecting more of a gap with words like that
raven crater
the amount of gold is kind of random. I'm not sure what the upper and lower ranges are

can Laffey's skill name "Solomon's God" be changed to "Solomon Wargod"? it sound way better and if i am not mistaken, was the original translation?

could we get 1 or 2 characters more for fleet names? I have a few name ideas that would work within a limit of 11 or 12, but not 10
it would get a bit cramped in the fleet selection screen for missions, but otherwise it'd work
prime kindle
pls either remove the "maximum 40 character" part or rewrite it to the actual maximum character count
normal vine
character limits in Asian ports is always fun ...
forgot which game it was, but you had like 10 characters for your name, and it needed at least one blank in the middle (first and last name)
works in Chinese/Japanese/Korean
Latin alphabet ... not so much

maybe change the pvp ranking system a bit so you're not missing out on all the merit for the higher rank mail rewards because you missed 5 fights and win your every other match against your highest ranked opponent. it's not necessarily a thing of high importance but it feels kind of weird to be stuck at a low rank when you can technically easily be admiral of the navy. possibly change something about the requirements for ranks let's say vice admiral and below just as an idea
raven crater
I mean, that just sounds like you have to make sure not to miss any fights.
Which is pretty doable unless you forget
rough vortex
New suggestion here
I propose that you are able to spend X amount of oil on certain commissions to have a chance to increase rewards
or to increase the chance of getting rarer rewards like cubes/drills
Just a handy thing for people who got so much oil they dont know what to do with it
left walrus
Well, there's always the 1000 commission and food in the dorm to spend your excessive oils
Or just be me and waste oils with high-cost farming
rough vortex
True you can always do the 1000 oil missions, but there is only 1 of them and they only have a chance to give cubes/drills
And oil spending on dorms doesnt give a huge benefit
raven crater
@rough vortex I added it, I think it's a pretty good idea
sly canyon
@frail epoch problem is i always ended up saving 2-3 attempts, which resulting in me can't rank up further. Beating lower-ranked opponents gain you less points than normal.
I don't mind beating the same person over and over tbh
Would be nice if there's at least 1 guaranteed higher-ranked opponent
instead of stupid rng 😐
sly canyon
just an example, rank 9, still 3 attempts left
even the left-most is like 21 rank below me
how 2 rank up
velvet adder
wait some hours until your rank goes down or just fight someone lower than you, you just get 1 less point
raven crater
you just have to be strategic
it wouldn't be interesting if they just handed it to you
sly canyon
idk how it's interesting if they just give you lower-ranked opponents
so u cant rank up as u wish
velvet adder
you just have to wait and they will be higher than you sooner or later
wanton frost
The whole system is designed to reward micromanaging rather than actually being strong. Just the way it works.
velvet adder
and if you can't wait, then you don't deserve to be top 10
sly canyon
this doesnt happen on below top 100 actually
sad
i will play the lurking/waiting game on next season
wanton frost
It mostly only happens in top 10... which makes sense, in the top 10 your only continueing to fight for shop points, there is no longer any reason to rank up.
sly canyon
because i already fucked up 2 attempts before
not top 10, usually top 25 or something
somewhere around that
wanton frost
If your in the top 50 your less than 1 fight away from the top 10
Even against a weaker opponent who only rewards 9 points.
wanton frost
And then you got the hundreds of us who are sitting around 600-1000 but with enough attempts on hand to cattapult us to #1 when we want
sly canyon
i'm not playing that hiding game until next seson
season
because i already lost by accident 2 times this season
wanton frost
Pvp is thankfully meaningless. I mean, more points to buy more gold boxes that never show up in the story anyway.
velvet adder
you are rank 9 with 3 attemps left, it is not as if you couldn't get to top 10 for when you have enough points for the best reward
sly canyon
i just want the shiny badge tbh
it just triggers me a bit xD
im like 30 points away from 1900 points treshold

wanton frost
Ah true. Got that season 1 so it's just like like whatever now.

Ooops. I just lost one too, there goes my #1 for the season

Not exactly 'game' feedback, but wouldn't this be more accurate if it said 'warship girls' instead of 'battleship girls'? https://puu.sh/Bu9OK/04f5a116cd.png
naive cobalt
I think it would be nice if emergency repairs could be used to heal one ship for 50% (or even more, but that's up to devs to balance) instead of healing every ship for 10%. I was surprised it wasn't the case already, unless I'm missing something really obvious and you can do it.
velvet adder
Nay, it's only 10% to all
naive cobalt
Also on the same topic - I think Vestal could use some sort of buff. Currently she's completely outclassed by Akashi (which we don't have for now, but still)
velvet adder
Repair Ships in general need a lot of work before they can be seen as anything but a detriment
naive cobalt
Yea
velvet adder
Vestal is actually better at keeping alive what you need her to, the stupid cat prevents Unicorn's buff from working
naive cobalt
Currently she's completely outclassed by Akashi (which we don't have for now, but still)
In addition to being bugged to the point she's pretty much useless.
velvet adder
Bugged?
naive cobalt
She has passive heal which doesn't stack with cranes
velvet adder
Yeah, that's normal
naive cobalt
So in idea she should heal twice as much
You can just strip her healing crane and nothing changes, that's not really "normal"
velvet adder
MLB Repair Ships gain a 20HP/5s heal that adds up with a crane's, for a total ot 35HP/5s when using a gold one
naive cobalt
(and Intern-kun did confirm that this is a bug on all the versions)
velvet adder
👀
velvet adder
Can you get me the 'official' statement
Cause that's the first time I hear about this
naive cobalt
Ok, he said it a bit differently
That he'll forward it to devs but that's how it works in both JP and CN so
velvet adder
Screenshot and send it to me, please

The game has been pretty nice and all, but I'd suggest adding server transfer, even if it's just once
velvet adder
How would it work, if the game weren't bugged?
wanton frost
I was of the impression they only stacked at MLB
velvet adder
So was I
velvet adder
20 + 15
naive cobalt
one from passive and one from crane
velvet adder
It's already how it is, though
naive cobalt
I don't have her at mlb yet and now she heals only for 15 once
with or without the crane
maybe only 15 one is bugged?
velvet adder
I can attest that Vestal does 35 at MLB
velvet adder
Crane overrides before MLB, apparently
wanton frost
inb4 the bug is that it works at MLB and by asking them to fix her we get her nerfed.
wanton frost
Nah, she should be weaker than Akashi
velvet adder
They do need lots of help, yes
Even if this were fixed, they'd still be so subpar it's not even funny
(and they do work as intended once MLB)
naive cobalt
I don't know about Akashi as we don't have her yet, so maybe both of them in need of buff
velvet adder
They're a waste of oil
naive cobalt
But Vestal is pretty underwhelming
velvet adder
Repair Ships are fundamentally incapable of healing properly or supporting the fleet in any significant capacity
wanton frost
If they could heal well that would be fundamentally broken and the game would need to be rebalanced around having real healers.
velvet adder
Whereas Uni/Shoho heal the entire front significantly, provide AA, bomb and torp things, clear the screen and provide buffs
And Arizona is a BB, which means big dick damage + anti-fireboat protection on top of the heals
ornate basin
ah...
velvet adder
Fixing the bug would still leave them as useless as they are now, but you know, better than nothing I suppose?
wanton frost
But nothing else heals the back row
velvet adder
Good to know there is a bug though, thanks - we had just assumed it was normal that they didn't passively heal before MLB
The backrow shouldn't be taking damage in the first place
If it is, you're doing something wrong
wanton frost
My backrow takes constant damage because auto is bad
velvet adder
Then your backline needs to git gud, because you can and should reduce the incoming damage to zero
If it's planes, bring CV/CL; if it's fireboats, bring BB/DD/CL; if it's enemy BB, bring Torps/CA/Screen clears/BB of your own
AR can only offer a modicum of protection against planes, no wonder the back is getting pounded with a dead weight hogging a slot

I think we could have an in-game warning ~20-30 min before server maintenance starts. This way we can start our commissions. I was in the middle of playing and it's a jarring experience to suddenly get cut off.

raven crater
@zealous hollow I think unless there is a specific reason to add server transfer (like guilds actually being useful and people want to move to servers with their friends) that there shouldn't be server transfer. Part of the idea behind creating new servers is to create a "new" environment for a new set of players, and letting people transfer to another server throws off that balance.
@limber arrow added
zealous hollow
I totally I agree with that, for now I really don't mind because guilds and friendship doesn't have an actual contribution, what worries me is the future. Eventually good features could be added and it would be like a real killer if people you know are in another server. And server transfer is more messy the bigger the playerbase is and the more the game progresses, unless it has some restrictions like a once per account transfer, gem pay etc. But yea, I totally I don't mind not being able to transfer my data now, but like you said, if we ever get a specific reason, like guilds or friends having actual good features I would suggest being included along with a guild transfer
@raven crater
raven crater
It's been added as a suggestion as part of the guilds features

I think in this context bully should be "delinquent" no?
And taskmaster sounds off. In anime I think they're talking about student disciplinary committee, but westernized it could just be "student council / committee"
naive cobalt
it was reported, yea
robust heron
^^I agree & even head of the disciplinary committee would be better. That and Student Council are used in dubbed anime.
naive cobalt
sounds weird
events are translated weirdly, from what I heard those are translated by different people than the rest of the game
raw violet
There was a few other things, but I couldn't really screenshot all of it*.
One thing I remember was fubuki makes "whining" sounds but it isn't put in any markers that show she's making the noise or just saying the word "whining"
If she's exhausted from running it could more likely be "wheezing" like a sound of short / out of breath.
I'm glad that they're porting over story though!
raven crater
@raw violet I think "taskmaster girls" is supposed to be something like "Hall monitor" or "Prefect"
raw violet
I agree it should be something more akin to an overachiever, but in context of being the other side of a delinquent, a hall monitor or some committee / council member would make the most sense. At least we can conclude "taskmaster girls" doesn't sound right at all.*

this game need to have the ability to be installed/moved to sd card, its specially needed for people like me who have a phone with very limited internal storage, i have 16gb in mine with 13gb used by android itself and its non-removable apps, another ~500-1000mb used by discord, twitter and digital id app for banking, if im going to update any games on the phones internal storage, i have to uninstall the game to download the updated apk again

thats more of a personal issue than anything

you mean the blue shading?

its even on saratoga’s original CG
its just saru’s art style

That's not even shading though, that's like an entire thing missing
what is it even shading?

But like... what light source/angle is causing that?
ornate basin
its just saru’s art lol
raven crater
if you say so 👀
velvet adder
I am going to check my Saratoga in jp, i have her skin
raven crater
@solar seal That may have to do with how the game functions/downloads additional data. I know that Brave Frontier also cannot be installed on an SD card, so I don't think it's a problem specific to this game but rather some sort of development difficulty/limitation
ornate basin
its literally like that everywhere berserker
is this considered not wanded as well?

more blue here as well

also on her pixiv she has a drawing of saratoga with more blue in her hair, not to overkill but I really find it hard to believe that it could be random stray background
raven crater
The blue you're showing me there looks like actual shading though

This game should let player to re-download character voice without delete another part of the game,since because some of character voice is corrupt which make the game restart when i select the girl ship which have corrupt voice file
Edit:its even better if we can download each character voice separately

You can just go to Settings and update the audio data, that should fix whatever problems exist, if not, then beg for an update

Javelin's voice was changed with the Sept. 13 update, can it be revert back? cant speak for whole AL, but me and several others prefer the pre-update voice.
naive cobalt
If her voice was indeed changed, it can only happen if they changed voice actress. And if that happened - no, they can't use old voice even if they wanted to.
ornate basin
I dont see solid grey
I see blue
and it would give her hair strand no possibility of existing
im not that great at art, but I do digital art, and I know for a fact that the hair is there for a reason
I think it looks good, the blue
it compliments the pink hair and blushed cheeks well
pink light blue and purple (eyes) is a good choice of colors and the blue makes the eyes pop out more

normal vine
feedback in regards to pricing: I think 10USD for a skin or a ring is way too much, at least for this kind of game, 3-5USD seems way more acceptable to me
naive cobalt
everyone have their own limits in regards to this
normal vine
I mean, Warframe asks roughly the same for a skin, but there you get a full 3D model with moving parts, effects and whatnot
@naive cobalt sure, I'm just giving feedback - I'd be more willing to buy gems if they either were cheaper or I got more per package (meaning the stuff I buy with those gems has a lower real-money price)
olive wadi
Sure, but there are way more people that get off on anime girls in bikinis and maid outfits than there are people that get off on vaguely humanoid robots. So, people are willing to pay more for what appears, to some, as an inferior product.
naive cobalt
have you seen some of those robots? 
normal vine
@olive wadi I'm not saying inferior, I'm saying massively overpriced in comparison ;)
I mean, I "get off on anime girls in bikinis and maid outfits", too
olive wadi
shrugs I've never played Warframe because the premise and design doesn't interest me. However, cute girls based off huge war-machines from one of the greatest periods of world history? YES PLEASE! Though, I have (yet) to spend money on this game.
naive cobalt
Well, anyway, that is pretty valid feedback although I really doubt it'll be changed in any way
raven crater
@lusty laurel Voice data redownload has been suggested
@graceful grove Additional filters have been suggested, though not of those kind. Still, I don't think it's feasible to fit those in there and furthermore, many of those types only have a few ships in them. For example, there are only three BC in the game right now (Hood, Repulse, and Renown). Maybe as we get more and more ships it will become difficult to filter even with the existing filters but right now, I don't think it's an issue.
@normal vine I think the skin prices are how they offset the generous gacha. Most gacha games get their money from... gacha pulls. But AL doesn't seem to follow that business model, with rates and currency availability being quite good already. Provided they're already making a good amount of sales with skins as is,I think it's better for them to keep the prices as they are now.
naive cobalt
They could've hide those skins behind gacha with awful rates instead of just allowing you to straight up buy whatever you want.
So it's generous even in that sense
rare jay
They could be like GFL where a live 2D skin can cost you over $100 if you don't get lucky in the gacha
naive cobalt
yeah, I was referring to that one mostly
from my experience AL is extremely generous game in every regard and that's probably why it's so successful, from what I can see. (that and cute girls ofc)
so if some skins a bit overpriced - that's fair price to pay
(if "1.5% of fox mines" ever sound like an awful rate to you - just remember that FGO has 1% chance to pull SSR from gacha )
naive cobalt
maybe that's stupid idea, but I think they should make account binding part of the tutorial.
not force you to bind, but at least show it
and warn that if they won't and lose account because of that - there's no way to restore it
I can imagine a lot of people not even going into options menu and seeing it
sure, "it's on them" to make sure account is secure, but still
~~unless game does that anyway and I'm stupid ~~
slim horizon
add googleplay account binding as another option

frail epoch
I noticed that Unicorn's dorm sprite is petting her dolls butt, not sure if it's supposed to be like that
halcyon palm
i'd suggest being able to buy multiple monthly cards.. like even when a card is on going, buying a second one wil give me 500 gems and extend the duration for another 30 days
naive cobalt
add this to what I said about bonding tutorial
velvet adder
Or add a quest with a decent reward that encourages people to bond their accounts fast
naive cobalt
oh, that's nice idea actually
frail epoch
Or just add a prompt in tittle screen that when the game is unbound it forces you to bound it
Not everybody has Facebook or Twitter so adding Google and Discord bonding would be neat. Maybe making a Yostar Account might work too
naive cobalt
yea, it would be
I hope someone suggested them this
(I'm being toxic at this point, sorry)
frail epoch
If you could make a Yostar account then people can just use their emails which easier to access and pretty much everybody has
velvet adder
force people to bound it could be annoying if there is a bug that won't let them bound(i have seen some people with this problem)
naive cobalt
well, it's really easy to make FB or twi account
frail epoch
Yeah, but not everybody wants those, specially Facebook, it sucks
naive cobalt
who cares?
if you're making it just to login
lol
no one forcing you to actively use it
frail epoch
Yeah, but if they had other ways to login people wouldn't need to make new accounts
naive cobalt
they'd have to make Yostar account tho
frail epoch
That's pretty much the problem, if you have no FB or Twitter it's another account with a new password
I don't know, there is no easy way to this
Except Google which would work well with Android users
rare jay
You could just use the same password you usually use since it'll just be a dead account for just binding. Couldn't you?
naive cobalt
that's exactly the point of logging through FB or twi - you're using the same account in a lot of different places
and they ARE working on a google login anyway
And other servers have option to bind with codes
so we might have it at some point
frail epoch
Google is used a lot more probably so yeah, if they add that there should be no problem
velvet adder
Idk why do we have so many problems with binding tbh, fgo has only 1 stupid bind-code that is the most easy shit to lose in the world and be locked outside your account forever
frail epoch
Why does your data get lost anyways? Can't Yostar have some kind of cloud and folders with each users UID and save stuff in there?
naive cobalt
it's not data that's lost, they just can't recover it to you
frail epoch
At least a purchase history of each user
naive cobalt
I assume
frail epoch
Oh, I guess if the UID changes, rip
ruby pewter
discord binding prob wont work with discord api xD
velvet adder
They actually recovered my account in AL jp, it is not that "they can't" probably, it is just that there is a millon more important stuff to do than to recover account one by one and never finish, a lot of important bugs/features and rushing events until we catch up with jp is the priority. Also, i am sure a lot of people that wants to recover their account i am sure don't know the most important info you usually need to recover it and make sure you are not trying to steal it to someone else.
naive cobalt
and if you haven't bought anything - I assume there's no way to prove it's yours?
velvet adder
i didn't buy anything in jp
But if i had bought something it would had been a lot easier to recover it tbh
velvet adder
Also, i am sure the game is getting a lot of new players and they can't answer everyone. By the time they help 5 of them, other 20 are already pming
wanton frost
Looking back at the history I saw there was some debate about how they would "translate" the lolicon in vampire's dialogue. Now that she is here I see the decision was to omit the word entirely from the subtitle. Was that something that got discussed internally at some point and was decided it would be easier to leave the word out entirely rather than potentially offend some people with it? Not upset, just genuinely curious.
naive cobalt
Well, no one from translation team communicates with us actively, so no idea
rare jay
It's been pointed out. No idea how the decision was made. And I pointed out that Yuudachi's was translated, albeit to 'molester', so no idea why didn't want to w/ vampire
naive cobalt
Any synonym to "pervert" works really
rare jay
It does. I'm not saying it was a bad translation. I think it fits fine. I just don't know why they decided to omit it from Vampy

All ads are bad though. Except maybe puppy monkey baby... but that ad was bad from a marketing standpoint because I don't even remember what it was for.
naive cobalt
tbh there's no reason comparing it with japanese ads
this is absolutely different culture
and that includes ads
velvet adder
"different culture", but most players are weebs
wanton frost
Fair enough, they want ads that appeal and bring in players outside of the weeb culture because the weebs are already playing they don't need to advertise to us.
naive cobalt

velvet adder
there might be more weebs that don't know about this game, so having 1 or 2 ads for them wouldn't be bad tbh

Yes, they are generally amazing ❤

naive cobalt
It might be really interesting thing, to advertise the game on western market using japanese way of doing it
but they won't take this chance with a month old game still in beta

If mean, if they were making an ad to specifically be used on like crunchyroll or something then absolutely.
But I really think they are trying to market it more widely, if they were looking to cater to niche audience I can't imagine they would have changed things like oniichan and honorifics. Not getting into that again, it's fine... it just goes to show that they want to make the audience more general.

is it possible to adjust the gem pack pricing? because 80$ us dollars are alot less than €
the ratio is ~0.86

Hello everyone and developer..,
I think guild in azur lane is so weird because guild have no function.
So i want to suggest this:
should have make at least attack joint system for guild.., and make strong bosses.
So when a member in guild can’t kill it.., other guild member can joint attack and attack that bosses till dead.
^ at least

The Grand Fleet does nothing so far. Stay tuned...

whys sama in here?
people have justified sama being ok for ijn ships
so I wont argue that anymore
but why is z-1 using it
and Z23 calling Z1 senpai...

If you look at Azur Lane's social media, it looks like they're trying to pander to people that associate the game with Japan and anime more so than the people who don't However, the localizing team seem to want to get away from Japan, then sometimes they don't. So, it would appear like the Azur Lane team themselves can't decide which identity they want.

@ornate basin it's different people who translate events
ornate basin
they should keep up with eachother...
velvet adder
I don't want to start a discussion for the 999th time, but can we get the ones translating the events for unicorn's lines?

Can we have different Admiral of the Navy badge ?
it looks exactly the same as five-star admiral
only different name

Wow guys, the translation for the third event in the School Day Event. Forget whether or not it's "too Japanese"; it's just bad. Straight up, machine translation bad. Some serious QA needed to be done before it got released.
ornate basin
too japanese
olive wadi
Just check it out. Like the others were bad, but it looked like some one at least looked at it before it was released. This is literally a machine translation slapped into the game.
naive cobalt
Don't they realize that the selling point of EN version is it's... well, translation?
I wasn't paying much attention to event stories because those are pretty awkward to read, especially if english isn't your first language
But that's even worse
olive wadi
Right?! If I wanted vaguely recognizable jibberish; I'd play the JP version.

Does, the team even do quality control on the event dialogue?
This is straight up unacceptable
We should at least be able to accept a minimum of quality for the translation in this game
This school event is not even close to an acceptable minimum
serene axle
It's not
But i care so little about this game's story or whatever
So it doesnt bug me too much
slate field
It's far from the most important part, but it's the chance for some quirky fun or just a nice bonus
So far this nice bonus has just made me frustrated and worried for all future content as well

Suggested quality of life improvement:
Problem:
Right now, equipment is given to a ship, and she keeps and uses it until i take it away from her. This becomes a hassle, if i own only a single copy of a BiS equipment, which i keep having to equip and unequip on several ships.
Solution:
Don't have equipment given to specific ships. Instead, all equipment should be in the storehouse, and only assigned when the girls sortie(i.e. equipment loadouts should be tied to fleet formation, not individual ships).
So for example, if i have only 1 copy of Barracuda, that is used by Kaga in fleet 1, Saratoga and Fleet 2, and enterprise in fleet 3, i can assign it to all of them when forming fleets. Then when i sortie, i can switch between fleet 1, 2 or 3, and all of them will have Barracuda equipped, without me having to manually go and equip and unequip everytime i switch fleets. In cases where i sortie 1 and 2, the game should prompt me that there is a conflict, with two different ships both needing barracuda, and prompt me to choose a new equip for the conflict.
wanton frost
On one hand I agree it would be nice, on the other it would lead to a lot of complications and confused people I believe.
craggy axle
I thinl the bigger problem is that they will have to overhaul the entire equipment code haha. Will be a lot of work, since the entire equipment ui would change.
olive wadi
That would almost completely defeat the purpose getting multiples of a lot of the equipment. Why bother getting a bunch of the best planes if you only use one carrier per fleet? Why bother getting a bunch of best BB guns if you only use one BB? Less need to get equipment means less boxes that need to be farmed/ bought. Less boxes mean playing less/buying gems. Less buying/playing means less money for the developers.
naive cobalt
he's not suggesting to use the same thing on multiple boats
just that it can be "assigned" to multiples
so it'll basically automate equipping\de-equipping
if you try to take two ships who need to take the same gun - it'll warn you about conflict and you'll need to equip one of them with the different one
at least that's how I understood his idea
willow sequoia
yea me too i like that idea i think there is even a game who did this
but i can't exactly recall which game
naive cobalt
tbf I'll just be glad if they add something way more simpler, like "game actually remembering what was assigned to this ship", so you can press a button to "force equip" it back, de-equipping it from whoever has it
like "game actually remembering what was assigned to this ship"
because rn you can save loadout, upgrade equip on the same screen and game will think that this equipment is not available anymore
sure, it will try to equip same weapon of different level and will succeed at it, but it's still stupid
olive wadi
I guess the way I see it is that he's taking the idea of of the game having saved loadouts and automating that even further. To the point that you don't even have to remember to reset a loadout after you've removed it. The game will just do it for you when you take the fleet into battle. Which, in my eyes, is TOO convenient. Like having the auto-battle feature auto-battle through an entire stage. Sure, it makes things easier, and some people might like that. But easy means less rewarding and less rewarding means boring. If you work to get the additional equipment for multiple ships you get the same convenience. However, you get it through your own effort, which is rewarding. Rewarding equals fun. Fun equals money.
naive cobalt
It's not rewarding to constantly de- and re-equipping stuff
it's a chore
When you're a new player without tons of good equippment - you have to do this
it's not management or anything
it's just "click de-equip everything" on every ship
olive wadi
Exactly, you work to get the equipment so you don't have to re-equip them. THAT's the rewarding part.
naive cobalt
that's not really "rewarding"
that's minimizing the frustration
It's not "satisfying" just "no longer annoying"
I understand that his idea may be a bit too much, I agree with that
But managing equipment rn is just pain in the ass
craggy axle
Considering that the game should eventually powercreep on equipment, you will never be able to grind enough to get the convenience. It will just be a permanent inconvenience imo.
naive cobalt
until you get "good enough" equipment for everyone
and after that there's almost no management
olive wadi
shrugs The point of this game is collecting. If the process of collecting isn't satisfying then you'll just get bored of it anyway. I like trying to get all my ships to have good enough equipment to do the job. Once I give a girl a piece of equiment it's hers until I get something better for her. I don't play "share the gun"
craggy axle
Yeah, but good enough is still not BiS. I already have good enough right now. But i still go through the equip unequip ritual.
velvet adder
Oh god, i know someone already said it but today's translation was awful, i could barely undestand what they were trying to say. Also they didn't even translated "bento"
@granite narwhal I know it is like 4 hours late, but the "Imcomplete" error has already been reported before and this is not the channel for reporting bugs, @serene axle The same for you, but in your case "peak" is correct, QE means "to have a look at her" and not to "speak to her".
naive cobalt
we should just translate the game ourselves
granite narwhal
Hmm
granite narwhal
Well ok I was using phone and check the channel description just now
And ok yes that was suppost to be in bug report and ty for heads up
serene axle
@velvet adder Then its supposed to be peek no?
velvet adder
yes, oh wait i thought they fixed it to peek
but they removed it from the imgur compilation
velvet adder
Yes, it is still peak, i don't think they fixed it at any point, but i thought it was already fixed for some reason
serene axle
So typos go in the bug report channel?
velvet adder
Yes, but it was already reported before, they just need to re-add it to the imgur compilation
serene axle
faint nova
Will it continue to be a trend for mistranslations to continue for potentially lewd implications with loli ships?
It's kinda frustrating at this point.
naive cobalt
how should we know?
looks like it
problem isn't that she's a loli, but the word itself
faint nova
I'd just slap lolicon as is instead of trying to translate it to pedophile.

Nani the kuso did omae just hanasu about ore, kono chisai inu?

The translation team for the dialogues is trying to avoid weeb translations
naive cobalt
faint nova
Unicorn's secretary lines are literal gundam references
I promise they won't alienate their audience with weeb terminology
naive cobalt
It's not like you have any authority to promise anything
But yeah, it's weird
It's just no point asking about it
It's basically daily thread at this point
and we had almost no answers from the translation team
faint nova
A lot of localization people hate catering to weebs in a game that nobody but weebs play
naive cobalt
"but that IS a weeb game" is completely non-argument that I've heard a lot
that's not how anything works
because game is for weebs doesn't mean that translation team can slack of and leave half of the game in Japanese
"weebs can understand it anyway"
and they DO want non-weeb crowd
faint nova
Translation VS localization is that a localization would go the extra mile to make sense of things a direct translation wouldn't
Them shrugging and just
naive cobalt
they are trying to make sense out of girls being from different countries
Oh, I'm not arguing with Vampy
that is just plain lazy
faint nova
Are we even arguing about anything lmao
I think we're just in agreement at this point
olive wadi
This discussion happens all the time. With me and Restart being on opposite ends almost every time, too.
naive cobalt
I don't believe they read this channel
naive cobalt
we not really on opposite end, just that I can understand why they're doing some things, so feel like I should defend them
(not with Vampy tho)
olive wadi
Vampy? Where they left out "lolicon"?
naive cobalt
yea
olive wadi
Yeah, but you can't really go calling people pedophiles, though. Like, lolicon is more of a comedic name than something as serious as pedophile. So, they'd have to leave it as is.
raven crater
@craggy axle I think a good compromise (and something that's been suggested) is that using the quick equip features should unequip any saved equipment from ships that currently have it equipped and assign it to the ship in question. Right now it doesn't do that.
Oh wait I see Restart brought that up like 5 messages later XD.
Also, I don't think anyone from the translation team is in this server, but maybe I can ask @bleak vale about getting someone here. No promises though.
naive cobalt
Yeah, but you can't really go calling people pedophiles, though.
Any synonym for "pervert" works here
olive wadi
You could argue that lolicon isn't Japanese at all anyway. It's English, standing for "Lolita Complex".
wanton frost
So how about that utawarerumono collab for global? On one has no one outside of us perverts and weebs no what it is.... on the other hand the licensing can't be that expensive can it?
naive cobalt
collabs are most likely on case by case basis
