game-feedback

[olive wadi]

That'll depend on whoever owns the licenses to Utawarerumono in their respective regions.

[naive cobalt]

so don't think about them

if we get them - that's good, not -

[olive wadi]

I'd like all the colabs, but that's not really a possibility. So, ehh.

[naive cobalt]

we will get Neptunia, so that's already good

[wanton frost]

Yea, always sad to see my mobile games not get a cool collab.

And yea, I'm very happy we are getting neptunia

[olive wadi]

Yeah, they seem to have a good relationship with the Idea Factory and Compile Heart. Especially, since Compile Heart are who are making the console game.

[wanton frost]

I noticed that as well. Warms my heart it does.

[olive wadi]

That's double good 'cause that mean there's a good chance the West will be getting the console game as well.

[sly canyon]

look at that fleet admiral and five-star admiral badge

can we get a variation ?

[raven crater]

That might be a bigger change than Yostar can do, since I think other versions use the same icons

but I'll add it

[sly canyon]

Thanks 😃 It's just less exciting since the badge are the same

less special

[empty spoke]

Taskmaster girl instead of Student Council is still a really whack translation

[vagrant star]

Hi. It would be amazing if there wasn’t a chat limit of like 50 characters. It makes asking for advice in-game nearly impossible, when you also take into account the chat cooldown time.

[naive cobalt]

It was suggested iirc

yep

[vagrant star]

Is there a chat to make suggestions or is this the one?

[naive cobalt]

this is the one, yes

you can check what already was suggested in google doc (link above)

[vagrant star]

Gotcha. Thank you

[dire talon]

Having more informations about the cooldown of the refreshes in the exercise section would be nice tbh

[slate field]

"Bully Girl"

No one says Bully Girl

Why do this

[raven crater]

It's been brought up

[slate field]

I'm talking about the twitter post for Hiryuu

It was done again

I know the dialogue has been brought up

[raven crater]

I mean, we've still told them it doesn't make sense, but I don't think the people here do the twitter

[bleak rose]

I wonder, will we ever get a way to PVP our friends through friendslist?

[sly canyon]

no way

that would be broken

people can just friend list the rank 1 and then spam +11 points

[raven crater]

I think it's been suggested as something that could be done for fun, but not for actual points/rank

[sly canyon]

well, if its for fun then sure

[vagrant scaffold]

@naive cobalt Good idea! We're actually thinking of reworking a tutorial a bit, and this can come in handy, thanks for the suggestion.

[raven crater]

(FYI because they didn't provide a lot of context)

[vagrant scaffold]

@olive wadi @slate field Sorry guys, looks like we've screwed up and used the old translation for this event. We actually have a much better version of this, so I'll try to arrange a hotfix for that.

[slate field]

[vagrant scaffold]

@raven crater Yeah I saw it, we definitely should add this, but it'll take some time for technical reasons.

[ornate basin]

pls translate cello to violin qqqq it bothers me sm

[raven crater]

I know that's what you were talking about, but when you responded to Restart it was way after that so I was trying to make it a bit more clear for others

[slate field]

Yea, it's actually a violin due to it having a headrest

Cello's don't have that

[ornate basin]

chinrest yes

I sent in a report but

[slate field]

chin* yes thank you

[ornate basin]

its obviously not of priority but

should still be looked at

[raven crater]

It's in there man

don't worry

[slate field]

oh

[ornate basin]

yes np I forget its chinrest sometimes and say shoulder rest but thats something else

[raven crater]

The things I really want them to work on are

1. Game crashing when playing audio lines if the audio gets corrupted during download (one potential fix is to add a feature to delete the additional downloaded data from settings so people don't have to reinstall completely)
2. Various shop issues, such as the shop taking money without giving gems/trade license or the fact that people get overcharged for their purchases sometimes/not showing prices in the correct currency
3. Things that are supposed to reset at server reset often reset an hour late (especially seems to be true for hard mode attempts)
4. People receive a lot of login/account binding issues, especially with Facebook. When logging in, it's usually error 10811 for Facebook. Twitter it seems to vary, sometimes just crashing the game. When binding, Facebook authentication seems to fail every time one has to go through the app. If you do it via logging in with email and password (where the device makes that option available) it works.

[slate field]

I was a bit surprised by the disparity in translation between the Z-Force and school event

Glad to know it's getting sorted

[velvet adder]

Wasn't the facebook error 100812?

or 100811

[ornate basin]

yes I reported it, but as I said I definitely understand its not of priority but I apolgize for Ive been a violin player for 6 years and seeing Cello be titled for a string instrument that isn’t a Cello just really itches at me but it doesnt affect gameplay so its absolutely something of lesser importance

[vagrant scaffold]

@ornate basin That is disgusting imo. We'll fix that too. I'm a noob in terms of music instruments, but I can understand how frustrating this kind of lack of attention to details can be.

[ornate basin]

glad to hear it GTRacer thank you!

[naive cobalt]

[willow sequoia]

@bleak vale I have a question regarding the EU pricing in the interest of all EU players so I thought I should ping you in the open, excuse me if that was rude. Anyways, will the gem packs in eu change? because most of the EU players don't like to pay as an example 80$ in 80€ because the ratio is actually 0.86€ per 1$. so it should be around 70€ for the eu players. i already talked with naviking over that matter and asked if it really was a visual bug, but i am not so open minded to experiment and lose money in the process. if you don't plan to change that which is also fine and kind of understandable then it is fine I guess.

[tacit jacinth]

I think "sigh" instead of "whine" is a better translation

[bleak vale]

Hi

@willow sequoia The pricing is decided by Google and Apple, we could not change it

Sorry for that

[willow sequoia]

Oh well, thanks for your answer

should probably pin that somewhere so everyone knows that and dont ask the same question everytime again

[wanton frost]

Personal experience shows that pinning an issue does little to stem the flow of questions about it.

[unreal forge]

yeah @willow sequoia sadly we often enough have to bite the 1:1 bullet. Something something purchasing power and economics . Fun fact: Apple even raised the € price compared to $ an additonally like 10-20% a few years back, I'm assuming to make up for VAT

[willow sequoia]

im kinda trying to fix that now with vpn and stuff but, idk man

[naive cobalt]

I can't check Google Doc now, but in case it wasn't suggested - can we have some way to fast forward story dialogues? (and to skip them while we're at it)

[vagrant star]

Can Sandy get an IDW skin? This is for all the people that get the reference 😂

[sinful grove]

Could gold get from commissions be improved? With 344 data points, it appears they are weighted to give ~33% between min and max gold

[raven crater]

What is the base of your percentage?

How do you calculate the overall "percent gold obtained"

[naive cobalt]

possible maximum?

[vagrant star]

Can Kent’s sprite be made a bit less purple? I get false hope every time she drops 😂. I always think I get an Elite, but it’s only a Rare

[ornate basin]

that would require making her icon so small her face is blurry wouldn’t it

[verbal valley]

Idk if this counts as feedback but if it’s possible could split screen be implemented for iPad Pro users? Currently only limited split screen works.

[vagrant star]

Or you could just make the border bluer.

[ornate basin]

what

its already blue

how more blue can it get?

[young prawn]

Should add an option for friendly exercise matches between friends and guildmates

[patent narwhal]

Yes, It has been suggested

[rough vortex]

New suggestion

What if there were set days with a boost to discounts in the store

It kinda sucks rn when you just have to pray to rngesus for good discounts

Or maybe set discounts not a boost to rate

[sinful grove]

@raven crater percentage between minimum possible and maximum possible.

Minimum would be 0, max would be 100

As an example, say a commission offers 200-300 gold, 33% would be 233 gold

[raven crater]

So is the overall percentage the average of the percentages?

[sinful grove]

Ahh, excellent observation, I've made an error. The average of percentages is much less depressing at 42%

[raven crater]

That makes a bit more sense

[tacit jacinth]

A check box with an option to show all owning equipments

Currently, we can only see the unused equipment in storage

[naive cobalt]

I've seen quite a few people asking about it in tech support - some way to delete or reset your account on specific server might be useful.

[wanton frost]

I can only assume it's people who want to reroll easily and keep their name. Something we've tried to discourage in general practice but players starting in the middle of an event and wanting to make sure they get the event ship likely may be prioritizing it.

[naive cobalt]

If people would be able to delete their accounts - I think reroling would become less of a problem. Because no matter how much you write about that in discord - it won't really stop.

[snow tundra]

Nothing will cure stupidness @naive cobalt

[unborn horizon]

Would it be against the rules to program a script where it records your loot whenever you press a hotkey. For example, Whenever you finish a battle and you're at the loot screen and you press L and it scans the loot area for specific images (Ship icons, Coin Icon, Skill Book Icon, Etc) and records the data to a spreadsheet. I will not have the script do anything, such as; click for me. Just extract data from whats on the screen. ( The reasoning behind creating this script would be that I would love to track the loot I received as I farmed for Kaga and Akagi on 3-4)

[wanton frost]

As long as it does absolutely nothing other than record what's displayed on your screen I imagine you would be fine even if devs may or may not take an official stance on it. If they could detect it and made it bannable you could always just screenshot each victory and have the program scan the screenshots directory compiling the data from there without ever interacting with the game itself.

[inland ruin]

guild features is kinda lackluster atm

[naive cobalt]

check pinned

[wheat mulch]

Are there any plans to add direct payment to the gem refills? I dont wanna get charges from 2 to 20€ extra depending on package

[cosmic cradle]

same here, google wallet wants to charge me for 98$ when i choose the 80$ one in game

[outer grove]

hello devs

i have something to say

When will you change the Daily Hard Mode from 6/6 to 3/3?

[naive cobalt]

why?

[outer grove]

because doing hard mode 6 times per day cost a lot of oil to me

[naive cobalt]

then don't

[outer grove]

i'm doing hard mode daily for farming blue prints

[wanton frost]

Nothing is forcing you to run them all

[naive cobalt]

do easier missions with cheaper ships

[outer grove]

i'm using Common Rarity ships on Daily Hard mode too

but i prefer doing later maps so there's a chance where Gold Blueprint will drop

i fear that Javelin's Retrofit will come sooner

[cosmic cradle]

1:1 queen elizabeth - javelin on hard, works even on 5-4

[wanton frost]

If they lower it to 3/3 then all your gonna do is get stuff even slower

[naive cobalt]

no

[wanton frost]

Your like asking for the exact opposite of what you imply your wanting

[naive cobalt]

it drops twice as much

with 3/3

[wanton frost]

Huh? Is that something that came later in JP or something?

[naive cobalt]

i think

[wanton frost]

Because if he wanted double drops it woulda just been easier to ask for double drops heh.

[naive cobalt]

not sure how jp worked

but it drops twice as much with less tries

and you don't have to fight mobs after winning enough

[wanton frost]

Yea, that part of the update I would love to have

[velvet adder]

That is exactly how JP works, yes - except the "no mobs after winning enough" part was fairly recent

[ornate basin]

[raven crater]

@unborn horizon @wanton frost I'm going to say that provided you're not using something like that to interact with the game, you're in the clear. Since you're only using that functionality to read the screen and record the data elsewhere, it's fine.

@cosmic cradle If you're not in the US, the game is charging you local currency. However, because all regions are using the same client, in app prices are displayed as if they were in USD. This is known.

@outer grove maybe @bleak vale knows when we are getting hard mode QoL from 6/6 to 3/3, but there are quite a few QOL updates we don't have just yet so I'm not sure what their pipeline is.

[wheat mulch]

The game is trying to charge me 89.99€ for something that costs 79.99$ cause obviously € are a less valuable currency lol

[naive cobalt]

that's Googles fault ifaik

[wheat mulch]

Im using an Iphone but

Yeh

[naive cobalt]

then apple

[wheat mulch]

I guess no plans to add direct payment then

[wheat mulch]

Welp

F2P for me then

[velvet adder]

You can go f2p for sure, but can you resist the urge to buy skins?

[wheat mulch]

I would be fine if it was 79.99€ and they kept the benefit from currency exchange

I can

[cosmic cradle]

@raven crater i see my local currency in the google play wallet when i try to pay as you said, thats why i say that the game or more likely google tries to overcharge my by 18$

[raven crater]

Yep

[wheat mulch]

This is the most bullshit payment ive seen in all my gaming history so far then

[cosmic cradle]

fgo had something like that, but not this extreme... 25% overcharge is insane

and im on avrora server only 'cuz that was the only one available at that time, would be on sandy otherwise, but no transfer available, and i dont wanna loose my progress...

[naive cobalt]

it doesn't matter

[velvet adder]

You can't compare fgo with this lol, here you don't even need to buy cubes/gold to get whoever you want. You usually pay money for rings/skins.

[naive cobalt]

he's talking about absolutely different things tho

not about in-game prices, but about regional overcharge

[velvet adder]

EU usually pays more for some reason

[naive cobalt]

not to the 89.99€ for something that costs 79.99$ point

usually it's just € = $

[wheat mulch]

That is in Spain if you wanna pinpoint it more

EU pays more cause 79$ usually are 79€

Which isnt bad

But this time we are getting charged extra

Not same amount diff currency

[velvet adder]

Is the price 89.99 after taxes or without them?

[wheat mulch]

Even if we include taxes difference it doesn’t amount to more than 10€ of difference

I assume with

If not it would actually be worse

[ornate basin]

its before taxes

[velvet adder]

I can't understand how prices works in this game anymore

[wheat mulch]

Before taxes...

[naive cobalt]

it's regional shit

[wheat mulch]

So i would have to pay 89.99€ then get charged even more...

Only game so far that has overcharged me

And wants to overcharge me more but hides it too

[naive cobalt]

It's apple, not the game

[wheat mulch]

Its google too apparently

[naive cobalt]

[wheat mulch]

And if the game is only for phones then we may as well be fucked

[naive cobalt]

My point is the same no matter who does that

[wheat mulch]

Yeh

[icy sail]

probably is the publisher

[wheat mulch]

Basically if you are not in US fuck your currency

[icy sail]

90€ with taxes in Spain is 108€ or so lol

[wheat mulch]

Yup

Well, they aint gonna see a single cent

From me

[icy sail]

we need waifu reduced taxes

[wheat mulch]

Actually a bit more cause 21% tars

[normal vine]

not sure if this has been suggested yet (didn't find it in the doc at least): I think it would be nice if we could combine T1 parts into T2 parts, like we can with retrofit blueprints - I got tons of T1 aircraft parts, for example, that could be of better use as (1:6 or something) T2 parts

[wheat mulch]

Taxes*

109€ instead of 79$

80$*

[icy sail]

@normal vine I dont think you can suggest stuff on the non main server lol

[velvet adder]

Yes he can

[naive cobalt]

That's literally channel for that

[normal vine]

@icy sail yes, we can - it gets collected and passed to the devs

[wheat mulch]

So i guess there is no going to be a direct payment system anytime soon?

[normal vine]

so if they think it's a good idea, it might make its way into the CN/JP version and eventually ours

[scenic dust]

when can we get an unequip all equipment button

[wicked solar]

right now

[velvet adder]

we already have one

[naive cobalt]

it might make its way into the CN/JP version and eventually ours
It also might be the other way around - it gets tested here and then implemented in other versions

[normal vine]

@wheat mulch I don't think any mobile game has that

[naive cobalt]

who knows

@scenic dust You mean absolutely all equipment?

[normal vine]

even Fire Emblem Heroes, who has Nintendo behind them, doesn't offer direct payment

[cosmic cradle]

droid version of fortnite has but that game isnt available in droid store so google cant put its sweet share on the ingame buys...

[wheat mulch]

Heh

I was willing to 🐳 but nope

At least now i know

[velvet adder]

You don't need to whale to enjoy the game

[wheat mulch]

I know

[naive cobalt]

About "we can't add new stuff"

[wheat mulch]

Ima F2P

[naive cobalt]

we literally did

(I know It's small, too lazy to open in browser)

[wheat mulch]

We are getting really soon the renaming and third class slot too

[velvet adder]

@naive cobalt You actually did it

[naive cobalt]

I know

[wheat mulch]

Cant crop thinner to remove new skins

[velvet adder]

also: HOLY HEAVENS, we are already getting the auto-filler for commissions, i love you EN staff

[naive cobalt]

is that useful?

oh wait, commissions

I've read it just as "missions"

[velvet adder]

You click one button and your commission team auto-fills itself

[scenic dust]

yeah like all equipment

[naive cobalt]

I feel like it was suggested

[sly canyon]

whats the algorithm for the fast fill ?

i usually only put ships below lvl 30 for comission

[empty spoke]

The Ning Hai post says it's available on the 30th, but the text post previously with the update details for the 20th said it was coming then

There's an error somewhere

[icy sail]

@sly canyon probably the best non-fleeted girls the algorithm can find

[fast quarry]

Hello. I'm one of the administrators of the first russian azur lane fanpage(https://vk.com/azurlane), and recently a lot of people asking me or other admins "Will the russian language be available someday?". So, will we see other languages in the global version of the game or the english will be the only available option?

[naive cobalt]

they need to sort out English translation first I think

[fast quarry]

I think so too, but waaay too many people are asking about russian translation. So I want to give them an answer.

[naive cobalt]

that would be cool, yea

but they aren't online now

I'd guess your best bet is to ask GTRacer about that, he should be online somewhere around morning (Moscow time)

[raven crater]

There are plans to support additional languages in the future, but I don't think they have a full grasp of which languages and when yet

[fast quarry]

Well, that's already something

Thx for the answer

[naive cobalt]

inb4 Большая Оса Йо

[gusty ginkgo]

in Prinz's

in Prinz Eugen's dialogue line when you first buy her bikini skin, the word "again" is split up like "a gain". or maybe it just a text formatting thing on my device

[naive cobalt]

it would be easier if you've actually took a screenshot

[rare jay]

Are you referring to the line where she's asking about Wales? B/c if so, that line is fine for me. At least it is in the collections screen

[gusty ginkgo]

@naive cobalt

[rare jay]

Oh, text wrapping

[naive cobalt]

it's text wrapping, yes

[gusty ginkgo]

ok so just my device then

oof

[cinder raft]

Could we maybe add an option to skip the firing animation for battleships if we're auto battling?

and maybe a speed up button for auto battles

[ornate basin]

the ai can only go so fast

[raven crater]

I think both of those things have been suggested

Oh actually, the skip firing animation was only suggested for carriers

[half thunder]

A lot of people still don't know about the mistranslation with the school days.. and I think its better to do an announcement in the game itself since a lot of people are asking about it world chat on why they can't clear it.. Most of those people probably don't use discord or have other social media.

[raven crater]

@vagrant scaffold / @bleak vale ^

[naive cobalt]

tbf a lot of people who DO use discord are still asking this

[sly canyon]

^

[elder halo]

could we get an increased drop rate for fox hell?

[velvet adder]

Already suggested and the answer was "No"

It is literally the only thing you have to farm for until we get new content

[elder halo]

[raven crater]

@velvet adder You forgot about Poi hell

[velvet adder]

But nobody cares about Poi

[rare jay]

Take that back. Poi is best doge

@raven crater another one

[wicked solar]

giving 100 gems or something instead of 200 oil for compensation maybe?

[cinder raft]

option to acknowledge that my dorm girls are starving but I'm ignoring it cuz no food. that red ! notification is too distracting...

or make the ignore silencr the notification, i dont wanna keep pushing it everytime i visit

[wanton frost]

100 gems for something that didn't stop you from playing or really anything seems a bit much. 200 oil gives you the oil to do the quest that was mislabeled seems adequate to me

[harsh escarp]

One question

When are we going to get different title screens?

[elder halo]

Im ok with the current one

Motivation to keep doing fox hell

[wicked solar]

@wanton frost i see you dont like free stuff

[pallid pelican]

Hello I have a problem with my game idk if anyone else have it
my game just freeze at "loading game"

[gloomy ravine]

Hi. How come I have Eldridge with 100 affinity (love) but without having her oathed yet, but since she reached 100 affinity, she got affinity increase from the dorm since then twice?

[naive cobalt]

[brisk prism]

i need to speak to customer support. I tried to email the address on the website: [e-mail]. The mail is returned as undeliverable.

i think there should be bigger line spacing since they are almost overlaping each other

[stiff vapor]

Any possibility of a Steam release?
Could have accounts linked, frontpage/news exposure on release/updates, more revenue from additional payment methods, trading cards, profile backgrounds. People on steam want weeb games, and weeb profile backgrounds :^)
Also would like to say good job on the frequent updates 😃
Would like to support the game, but the gem/dollar rate doesn't really feel like good value. Most likely won't change but that's just my two cents.

[raven crater]

@odd meadow known (and fixed with the hot fix)
@vagrant star Please don't report things twice. Once is fine.
@pallid pelican #bug-reports (and in #known-bugs )
@gloomy ravine Can you confirm her affinity actually increased? I'm not sure the affinity bonus from dorm actually checks current affinity
All of this should be in #bug-reports btw

@stiff vapor I know they don't even have plans to release this for web browser so I don't imagine there are any plans to release it for steam at the moment, especially considering the current control scheme.
Also both of your things should be in bug reports

@cinder raft Added
@wicked solar As syraniss said, it wasn't even a maintenance. 100 gems is a lot of gems considering it wasn't even anything game breaking. Don't be greedy.

@pallid pelican

[gloomy ravine]

@raven crater Sorry, I was not sure if this is a bug or a game mechanic so I thought I just post it here. I will post similar stuff in #bug-reports next time.

As for the thing, I cannot confirm whether her affinity actually increased or not, since the dorm affinity increase doesn't add a lot towards it, just some decimals afaik. As for the current state, her affinity is still 100 and that's all I know because the oath info doesn't give decimal values.

[raven crater]

Ah, ok. I suspect that it probably just didn't do anything. The dorm events seem to be pretty random

[sharp hemlock]

Is it me or actual rankings vs rankings listed in details are not the same?

Major apparently means lieutenant commander.. it's confusing.

[naive cobalt]

Emblems are not updated

[autumn haven]

next suggestion:
merging 3 books of the lower tier to a higher tier training book

[naive cobalt]

are you suggesting to halve it, lol?

[autumn haven]

wait, isnt lower = 150 exp, higher 450 exp?

[naive cobalt]

you can merge them now

[autumn haven]

highest 1200 tho '__')

[naive cobalt]

but it takes 6

[autumn haven]

oh we can? '__') ic

lemme check inventory

[autumn haven]

oh, but 6 x 150 > 1 x 450 T_T)

oh well..

[naive cobalt]

yes

but it's faster

so that's the trade-off

[autumn haven]

oh the time is different '__') T1 = 2 hour

[naive cobalt]

T2 is 4

[autumn haven]

ic

[raven crater]

@naive cobalt This is my first time learning that you can merge skill books

[naive cobalt]

There's no reason to anyway

Unless you have a lot of them

[gloomy ravine]

same goes for t1 blueprints

[karmic kayak]

I knew how to do that since day 1

[ornate basin]

I never knew

and ive been playing since january!

[karmic kayak]

It says how to merge when you check the skill book

[ornate basin]

yeah?

[naive cobalt]

no one reads tutorials

[karmic kayak]

But to bad you can't make it gold tier

[ornate basin]

I didnt really have a choice until en al came out

[naive cobalt]

You'll see - they'll add binding to tutorial and people still complain about losing accounts

[ornate basin]

and even then I didnt necessarily need to read it since ive been playing the jp version for nearly 10 months

its true unfortunately

[karmic kayak]

this is the problem when people rush through the tutorial

[ornate basin]

not knowing you can stack those skill books though isn’t very much of a necessity since you can always get more of higher tier through dailies

[autumn haven]

wait, there is tutorial?

[raven crater]

The game forces you into a tutorial as soon as you start

[velvet adder]

Wish they'd let us merge purple books into golds

Even if it's at a terrible rate, I'll never manage to burn through all this trash like this

[vagrant star]

I’d suggest adding a chat function in PVP battles. Just access to the global chat would be fine. It’s kinda boring just watching the girls fight and not being able to do anything else

[naive cobalt]

it was suggested

[ornate basin]

it exists

JP has it

when EN will

[vagrant star]

Oh jeez, I didn’t see it

?alsuggestions

[ornate basin]

?

[vagrant star]

What’s the link to the Google docs with the suggestions

[ornate basin]

er

[vagrant star]

I can’t copy it from the pin

[ornate basin]

look right above you

[vagrant star]

Well, the channel topic

[ornate basin]

the bot sent it

:/

[vagrant star]

That’s the bugs

[ornate basin]

no thats the feedback

this is #game-feedback

[vagrant star]

Oh I see. My mistake

[naive cobalt]

also bot posts this link all the time lol

[vagrant star]

I confused it with another link lol. My bad

A few suggestions:

A new game mode. Team mode. (You can raid with your guild and stuff, or just with random people that are on the same level as you)

A “recommended” feature for each stage. (For example, it tells you what specific ships, or even what ship classes would be the best for each stage)

Show which ships can drop for each stage (you could make their images darker for when you haven’t gotten them from that stage yet)

The ability to move fleets in the “formation” menu. (For example, let’s say I want to put fleet 4 as my fleet 1. I could just drag it there, instead of having to recall everyone and replacing them)

The ability to see the total oil cost of a fleet in the “formation” menu

I think this already got suggested, but for an auto battle, make it so that you don’t have to view the whole thing. It just skips right through the whole battle. However, your ships would need to be at a required level for you to be able to auto battle with them, this way

Sorry if this a lot lol

[velvet adder]

The ability to see the total oil cost of a fleet in the “formation” menu. You can already see the total oil cost

[vagrant star]

You can??? Wtf hold up

[vagrant star]

Ah well fuck

[velvet adder]

Show which ships can drop for each stage (you could make their images darker for when you haven’t gotten them from that stage yet) You can already see which ones dropped and the ones that didn't drop yet are a "mystery" until they drop and get added to the list.

[naive cobalt]

that's what he's asking I assume

to see ones you have yet to get

[ornate basin]

I feel like thats not a feature for a reason

[naive cobalt]

[ornate basin]

reasons I cant explain because im bad at putting things into words, but most likely MEANT to be a surprise, thus the question mark

[naive cobalt]

Surprise like literally telling where you can get the botes if you try to open their profiles?

[ornate basin]

yes

thats actually another reason why they dont need to be present instead of a box with a ?

that exact thing exists in collection

rather than making them a question mark as well, only the ships that are yet to be released are

[naive cobalt]

I dunno, I don't feel like this "surprise" worth it at all

It is exciting to get new ships, sure

but if you're opening this box - you want to know what drops there

[ornate basin]

thats true, but its a surprise

[naive cobalt]

You won't look at map's drop list for a surprise

[ornate basin]

unless you have a certain ship in mind and already looked at their drop location

then you know something to expect

[vagrant star]

If you’re gonna shoot down a suggestion, try doing it in a way that doesn’t make it seem like you believe you’re better than everyone. Just a suggestion

[velvet adder]

Recommendation: The ability to buy more than one piece of the stereo system furniture.

[ornate basin]

hi this is #game-feedback if you have feedback for me send it to me privately @vagrant star

[velvet adder]

So that I can place one piece each side of the TV.

[vagrant star]

Just thought I should mention it here 😃 @ornate basin

[ornate basin]

off topic

[velvet adder]

Also, it doesn't look like anyone is "believing that is better than everyone" at least to me, but if my potato english confused you i am sorry

[naive cobalt]

By discussing suggestions you can see other point of views then yours and find a medium

Maybe yours suggestion can be made better

maybe you missed something important

there's value in discussing these things

[ornate basin]

I only gave my output, I wont go as far as to attack you for making a suggestion I disagree with

and if the game doesnt suit your likes, the wiki has what ships drop from what map

@vagrant star

[naive cobalt]

I really like this spreadsheet actually https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IkUG7Qot3GedHzK_VMdiPuI39uERybGybuqsJeKzDeo/htmlview?sle=true#gid=0

[ornate basin]

that is helpful as well

[vagrant star]

I never said it didn’t appeal to my likes. These are suggestions after all

[ornate basin]

I know this, but I mean if what you suggested does not happen (as its been a year on cn and jp and this hasnt been changed) then theres alternatives

[naive cobalt]

Also I've already suggested this without destroying "surprise"

[ornate basin]

I really hope they make that a feature its a bit annoying having to go to another app and search up the ship to find what im looking for or tap every world map and see if I can find it, I’d rather it be noted in collections

[vagrant star]

Every time you get a new ship, it should come with a pop up saying “Surprise”

[naive cobalt]

now you're being toxic

[ornate basin]

trolls be trolls

[vagrant star]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[naive cobalt]

he's not a troll, but w\e, that's going off-topic

[vagrant star]

You just seem to like surprises so much. I thought my suggestion was appealing to your tastes?

[ornate basin]

go ahead and suggest it if it makes you happy, I am not against it or for it

I’d be for it if a there was a gif that had some ship pop a confetti thing in the corner like the gif versions of the stickers but the possibility of that is 0

[vagrant star]

That’d actually be funny lol

[velvet adder]

Or we could flip the existing stereo system a ninety degrees.

Since it has two main speakers, I guess the shipgirls can delude themselves into believing that it outputs stereo sound.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[velvet adder]

I think it would be a better interactive experience if the movement controller center adapted to where I place my finger, instead of a fixed place

[stuck pike]

Add ability to search for specific ship instead of alphabetical order, hide dupes and skip confirmation for chest fusing

[vagrant star]

@velvet adder, I’ve played a game with a feature like that and trust me, it gets annoying after a bit lol. Especially if you repeatedly take your finger off the screen. That’s just my opinion tho

[velvet adder]

We can always make that switchable for the ones who don't like, I know it would be great for me

[ornate basin]

that would be a good toggle button, to choose

[slow oriole]

Can you make Atago a Medal Exchange unit? I've got 1000 medals of honor from trashing everything I got during this event chasing her.

[ornate basin]

ive gotten everyone but atago but atago is in the permanent pull sometime

if you dont get her now, you will have to wait

[hushed estuary]

1000 medals from building and trashing ships? 🤔

[ornate basin]

either 🐳 or an exaggeration

I hope its an exaggeration, that much in medals sounds really expensive in terms of $!

[velvet adder]

Nah, i have like 500 medals and i use them everyday for food/books/golden purin in the exchange shop

[ornate basin]

well considering the rate for an elite is a bit high you could get 1k for 100!

[raven crater]

@vagrant star Guild raid and other variations have been suggested. It has its own document pinned in this channel.

"recommended" I think is handholding too much, also pretty subjective because for the most part your specific fleet comp isn't goin to matter too much compared to the level of your ships, your equipment, and skill. If they implement such a feature, I imagine a lot of people would complain it's inaccurate

The third thing exists, but the ships you can get are hidden until you actually obtain them (sort of as a surprise sort of thing). Obviously there are plenty of guides if you want to know in advance though.

I'll add the "switch fleet" thing as a sugestion

Wow I didn't even know you could see the oil cost in the fleet menu I'm dumb as heck

The auto battle thing has been sugested and shot down, this isn't an idle game. There need to be some limitations on how much you can auto..

@velvet adder your stereo thing has been added.

@stuck pike Sort by name has been sugested

@velvet adder You can actually move the control stick and buttons wherever you want on the screen from the settings menu. I know it's not exactly what you're suggesting but it may solve what you want. or at least be a good existing compromise.

@slow oriole Atago will be in the permanent pool later regardless, but at any rate if they put her in the medal pool later it kind of disincentivizes people from pulling, so I don't think it's a good idea.

[slow oriole]

Rip $250 then. 😦

[velvet adder]

Don't worry, you will get her sooner or later, i got 2 Atagos from random pulls in Jp and i don't even play a lot

[raven crater]

Please gacha responsibly

[slow oriole]

That was my cap. Didn't think I would hit it and not get her though

[vagrant star]

@raven crater thanks for the feedback on my feedback

[velvet adder]

I did actually move the controller to another place, but I'm the type that changes around, or that position may get discomfortable mid fight, hence the suggestion, still thanks for feedback

[vagrant star]

@velvet adder I understand completely lol

[sharp hemlock]

@naive cobalt what do you mean emblem not updated?

Also.. isn't the "battle skip" feature implemented in a future patch? Not a full skip but skip to baws.

[ornate basin]

the icons (emblems) showing your rank are outdated graphics

baws?

[sharp hemlock]

Boss

[ornate basin]

yes

[raven crater]

@sharp hemlock "battle skip" I think is the feature that, in a hard mode map where you have reduced the danger gauge to its minimum (danger gauge is not yet implemented in EN), the map instantly spawns the boss without the need to fight escort fleets

[sharp hemlock]

Yeah was just mentioning for joegoals.

[sly canyon]

normal mode skip when

[dim drift]

@vagrant scaffold I see u made a in game message regarding the pop ups lol

[vagrant scaffold]

Yeah, this is very important stuff, and not everyone checks our social media or twitter, so we added this announcement to the game too.

[dim drift]

seems good

[velvet adder]

Shouldn't we get a message ingame warning about maintenance around 6~12 hours before it? I am pretty sure jp warns about it(and it says the duration range too).

[ornate basin]

jp has it as news

[velvet adder]

yes, in news and also as "very important news"(when you open the game before selecting the server), tbh i don't really care about the 2nd one, but we don't even have it in regular news

[wary brook]

i'd like to see Greenwich mean time included in news/update notices/whatever else, i live in Australia and i have no idea when 1am pdt is or whatever random timezone is used, but i do know my timezone offset.

[ornate basin]

just google it

[naive cobalt]

it's just one time you have to remember

[velvet adder]

guys guys you forget to translate this

[naive cobalt]

wip feature, shouldn't be available yet

[wary flame]

This should specify you need to equip t2 gun (aka the one you get from previous quest)

[low oak]

is it possible for you guys to have the game updates on playstore instead in the game cause:

1. if we close the game, the update resets or it wont update but in the playstore we can update the game whilst playing/using other apps in your phone
2. we wont leave our phones on just for the update itself, thus it will suck cause you dont want your phone to get hot
3. lastly some phones or net download updates faster on playstore than ingame

this is my opinion for now 😊

[vagrant star]

Patch note has a mistake. It should be “school theme” not “school there”

[willow sequoia]

wrong channel tho

[vagrant star]

Shiiit

What would it be in?

[velvet adder]

#bug-reports

[vagrant star]

Idk when to put something there or here. How do I know?

[naive cobalt]

that's not really a bug

just some poor intern made a typo

[raven crater]

@velvet adder Maintenance alert has been suggested https://discordapp.com/channels/456397991847395339/468804193646542849/489712507372568587

@wary flame Have you confirmed that other variations of the Twin 127mm MK12 Dual Gun do not complete that quest?

@low oak Updating in the playstore means they have to go through a whole approval process with Google, and then they would need to do the same thing for iOS. It's not feasible to continuously do that which is why so many games like this update via patches. The update took me maybe a couple minutes tops this morning, your internet connection might be bad.

[vagrant star]

There’s also this. Using an emergency repair isn’t exactly a strategy 😅

[naive cobalt]

it'll go away faster then they'll be able to fix it

[velvet adder]

@raven crater I didn't really mean to suggest a "alert"(eventhough it looked like it when i was comparing to jp server). What i was trying to suggest was to add an in-game maintenance notice with the duration range. And they actually added it 30 minutes after i suggested it, then they deleted it after the maitenance was over

[raven crater]

oh, ok. Well I guess problem solved, sort of?

[wary flame]

I confirmed t1 doesnt complete the quest and I didnt try t3. I already finished the quest so i cant check anymore

I checked wiki tho and it specified t2

[raven crater]

Got it

[spark apex]

Hey guys just a suggestion maybe can we get smaller sprite on map for the battle mode since on the PoW event on SP3 sometimes when I wanna skip the AA battle (the enemy with plane sprite) cant quite see the type of enemy because the girl head so big that covering the enemy on the map when enemy position behind the girl, thank you~

[naive cobalt]

some way to see what's behind fleet's sprite was suggested iirc

[arctic bloom]

More loading screen images

Notification of comission complete is late 💤 💤

[naive cobalt]

[naive cobalt]

stop spamming please

[waxen echo]

Is there any chance that eldridge voice line volume could increase?, i can barely heard her...

[naive cobalt]

Volume balance is all over the place

While she's supposed to be really quiet, it's hard to judge to what extent, when there's no consistency in other ships' voices

But that's the same way in Jp, so unlikely to change

[waxen echo]

So its her nature to be that quiet? Lol i cant fight against that, thank you very much..

[balmy peak]

Is Unicorn's unicorn name ever gonna be fixed or are we just stuck with Ugean

It feels kind of weird knowing it's "Yuu-chan" in JP

[velvet adder]

This has been discused like 10 times already

Sorry Tac, but it seems they are going to go with Ugean

[balmy peak]

Oh

Okay

Just crossed my mind while poking girls in the dock

[naive cobalt]

1. Ugean sounds like U-chan
2. She's british, doesn't make much sense for her to call her plushie "U-chan"
3. Ugean instead of Eugen or whatever, because "child talk"

[balmy peak]

She's British yeah but the voice lines are in Japanese, in a Chinese developed game

[naive cobalt]

And that's irrelevant

[balmy peak]

Then so would her being British too lol

If that's what the team wants to roll with then I'm not really contesting it

[naive cobalt]

We're talking about localization, her voice or game's origin country have no impact on that

While character's background has

[balmy peak]

Ok

[empty spoke]

Eugene would cause less confusion though

It's known to be pronounced as "Yuu-jean"

instead of a possible "Yuu-gee-an"

[naive cobalt]

I'm not the one you should convince of that is that's your goal

That's their reasoning

It makes sense from localization point

So I'm going to defend it

[long stone]

shouldn't there be dot instead of ";" ?

[lone smelt]

Why does every set have something to sit on besides the autumn breath set. Shouldn't these mats be something the girls could sit on?

[copper forge]

can we get a feature to save dorm layout instead of clearing all of them to make a new one?

[long stone]

aren't you talking about this?

[copper forge]

whoa thanks

[velvet adder]

Recommendation: Change "Unequip all gear" to "Strip".

[ornate basin]

that would save a lot of textbox

[velvet adder]

Right?

[cinder raft]

Maybe have the game take into consideration which fleet is on the top slot when deploying two fleets and have it start off with that fleet in control.

I bring a leveling fleet and a back up fleet, with the backup being a digit higher than my leveling fleet, so if my leveling fleet is having trouble, I can at least clear the chapter.

Alternatively give us the option to swap fleet numbers around instead of manually selecting and etc.

atm, it will always have you be in control of the higher fleet number (so I'd start in control of fleet 1 when I hit Go)

[clear verge]

Is this supposed to pop up every time I launch the game?

[velvet adder]

There are many games where announcement just pop up like that so I assume it's normal

Still, having to click out everytime

[naive cobalt]

Yes, it is

[lone sparrow]

Just an observation, there aren't that many ways or chances to get any gems in this game for the f2p players, so they are forced to spend money if they want to participate in skins.. It could throw off many f2p players in the long run knowing there are many many skins to come

for the sake of legevity for this genre I would reccomend dailys or weekly opportunity to grind for atleast 100gems a week minimum..

[naive cobalt]

or you can not bother with skins as those are main source of game's income

[velvet adder]

Wow, this is the most f2p friendly game ever and you are asking that

[lone sparrow]

Lol I donate. I just want to make sure there are people still playing later down the road

[velvet adder]

you can get 250 gems per chapter and there are 12 chapters (only 6 right now)

[naive cobalt]

game doesn't require you to pay for anything

except for skins

[lone sparrow]

true

[velvet adder]

250*12 = 3000 free gems

[naive cobalt]

which are optional and cosmetic purely

so as an actual F2P I'm fine with that

[ornate basin]

@lone sparrow ive been playing since jan and I have an abundance of free gems

I choose not to purchase skins

[lone sparrow]

What about 3% stat boost for oath ships.. Rings are 600

[ornate basin]

as I can save the skin onto my phone and enjoy it

[lone sparrow]

true.

[ornate basin]

then buy rings with free gems

you get a lot!

[naive cobalt]

3% not that much anyway

[ornate basin]

[lone sparrow]

3%* 6 ships.. Lol

[naive cobalt]

Is still 3%

do you know math?

[velvet adder]

you get like 15 or 20% extra damage advantage in pvp anyways, you don't really need that 3%

[naive cobalt]

[ornate basin]

and its not a necessity to have :/

this is the most f2p friendly mobile game I have ever played

[lone sparrow]

I'm not saying it isn't, I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree lol

[velvet adder]

They also give gems from time to time, and if you farm hard enough you can get some free gems from urgent commissions

[naive cobalt]

never even saw this

[lone sparrow]

👌

[ornate basin]

and apologems ;))))

[wicked solar]

apolo-oils and apolobooks

[velvet adder]

Those were minor bugs and we are "still on open beta"

[naive cobalt]

"We had minor bug that was resolved in an hour. Um... so, can we expect like 100 gems for this or what?"

[wicked solar]

of course

[ornate basin]

thats always annoying

[waxen echo]

Lol, I'm just wondering if the expression for the girls would be there soon, I would like to see their blushing face.. XD

[ornate basin]

@waxen echo you mean different expressions?

[waxen echo]

Ah yes, i see that on the new skin update have multiple expression, or is that just available for those skins?

[ornate basin]

just for those skins

and ships

its a fairly new thing, its unknown when they will arrive

[waxen echo]

Just for those skin....lol
Then i'll stop be a f2p when the times come...
Thank you..

[ornate basin]

and ships I said

[desert badge]

has anyone suggested to have a different layout for the tactical academy? right now you have to scroll down to see the last room slot if you upgrade it

[tacit jacinth]

quick enhance button using only common ships plz

also can we have a notification like only 1 hour left before the food in dorm running out?

[raven crater]

@tacit jacinth I added your suggestions but something to consider is that beacuse different ships fill different stats and ships have different stat caps, quick enhane might not be that useful in the end.

[naive cobalt]

can we have an option to tag start game notifications as "Read" (which actually works, not like news one)

while this is an important issue - I don't want to be reminded about appstore thing everytime when I launch the game

[vagrant star]

Has an accessory to decrease fuel cost been suggested yet?

[raven crater]

No, but that could be kind of nifty. I'll add it

[vagrant star]

It could be like a solar panel or something lol

[dusk prism]

How about reselling dorm's furnitures for 40% (or any other value) of the real price ?

Only applicable to items that are worth 40+ dorm coins.

That'd be kinda neat.

[edgy heron]

a thought: While changing Variant and Mod all to (Retrofit) is good for consistency (particularly since there wasn't a particular scheme for them), it'd be nice if they all had a suffix unique to their nationality.
Kancolle uses Kai Ni for Japan, Due for Italy, Mark 2 for US, Zwei for Germany and Dva for Russia, and I've always found that to be a cute detail that makes each country a bit more unique.
Something like Kai (sakura)/Mk 2 (eagle union)/Mk II (royal navy)/some other appropriate words for the other countries

[neon kite]

@naive cobalt They could still follow through with the discount til 9/30 imo. Not like it'll hurt anybody, if anything they'll get more money...

[naive cobalt]

you should suggest this to GTRacer if you think so. Or to ALOfficial.

they might actually do that, who knows

as quite some people thought the same way

[gritty spear]

I think they should too

[neon kite]

@vagrant scaffold @bleak vale

[gritty spear]

I just read the announcements and updates channel on this server and tbh maybe that should've been an announcement too like "hey we messed up the discount is only until 9/20"

[neon kite]

I don't think anybody noticed the miss at all tbh

[gritty spear]

There's like a hundred channels on this server and 5 or 6 different help/support ones its kind of... off-putting?

So I just track the two

[naive cobalt]

there's only 2 for help

for technical support and for gameplay help

[neon kite]

Anyway, I sent in a bug report and even tagged them here so now I'll just wait patiently.

[naive cobalt]

reports don't really do much for time sensitive stuff tho

but they should reply

[gritty spear]

I'm just saying for someone like me who isn't a regular #bug-reports #gameplay-help #game-feedback #known-bugs #tech-support can all get confusing in terms of knowing where to go

[ornate basin]

I think they should prolong the discount, or give us a small compensation for false advertisement

[naive cobalt]

they already did this with another set of skins, didn't they?

[gritty spear]

I don't expect compensation though it'd be nice but I'd like to at least see them acknowledge the error

Did they? I've only seen the discrepancy on the summer ones

[ornate basin]

they announced 2 different dates

but I dont remember what they did

[neon kite]

can't find any announcement that says 9/20. Was it ingame?

[naive cobalt]

yes

[gritty spear]

Twitter is where I saw it

It was 9/30 there

I couldn't find the in game news I think they might have pruned the notices a bit too fast

[naive cobalt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/468804420801527810/492620194020327425/42044991_2145996168977161_2203105767995736064_n.png

[neon kite]

thanks

still managed to miss it though since I was reading the fb post

[gritty spear]

Whoops, I'm never on the main menu long enough for it to cycle that far lol

Oh well

[naive cobalt]

So I just track the two```
There's no reason to really track them btw, other then maybe known issues if you wan't to know what bugs are there to avoid

(or just not panic if unavoidable)

[naive cobalt]

@vagrant scaffold ^

[velvet adder]

Any way the EN devs can pass a message to the anime development and ask that care is taken for the history behind the ships. Especially Juneas and the Sullivan Brothers?

[brittle inlet]

I'm wondering on swimsuit discount. It was repeatedly announced on twitter that the discount sale would end on 9/30 but when I visit the shop today, the discount is already gone.

[naive cobalt]

Scroll up

[brittle inlet]

Welp, can't do anything anymore.

I just do hope they correct their twitter post in the future.

[velvet adder]

ETA on share function?

[naive cobalt]

unknown

[maiden fern]

well.. well.. waiting for their response

[gritty junco]

The way some ships skill activation voices stack on top of each other should be changed. Eg when both teams have Prinz Eugen if they both activate the line is twice as loud. This could probably be avoided with some sort of variable checked before playing the sound clip. Probably half a second between duplicate voice lines playing would be more than enough.

[spark acorn]

hey, aren't the summer skins still supposed to be discounted till the 30th based on the twitter patch notes? In game they aren't discounted anymore.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dm0z4xdV4AE04yk.jpg:large

[velvet adder]

Scroll up and you will find other 10 guys asking and getting the answer

[spark acorn]

thanks

[velvet adder]

My game is stucks at loading screen

[raven crater]

@gritty junco To me, it makes sense that if two people are speaking it's twice as loud. Plus, it only ends up being applicable in PVP, which isn't a big thing.

Also @dusk prism @edgy heron I added your sugestions

[fast pasture]

actually, it doesn't. The way how gain works in real life is that doubling a source would only be around a 25% increase in the actual volume.

which would be a lot more tolerable than doubling the volume in this case

[gritty junco]

The main problem is that its significantly louder than other lines and hurts my ears cuz of it.

[ornate basin]

yeah

happens

nothing to do for it unfortunately

[gritty junco]

It could be coded around, but I'm not sure how their code works, so it might be complicated to fix.

[edgy heron]

the double loudness is an unfortunate consequence of digital playback. playing the same sound twice will literally double the amplitude.

I doubt their sound system even recognizes overlapping sounds right now

[fast pasture]

well no, the issue is that the amplitude doesn't double

it actually is 10x

[edgy heron]

pretty sure it's not literally twice the loudness

[fast pasture]

yes, 10x the amplitude of a soundwave is 2x the loudness

[edgy heron]

it's just much louder

[fast pasture]

the point is that it's just a lot louder than it should be

[edgy heron]

but try doubling a track in a mixer and playing it, it should sound similar

anyways, what they could (should) do is have each output signal (we know they have three 'cause volume controls) automatically reduce the max volume level (apply compression) when it's past a certain threshold

[fast pasture]

y'know, I had to go back to refresh on my physics book, yeah you're right, it's more along the lines of 41% sound increase

cause I forgot when you double a source you double the power, and amplitude is linked to power by a sqrt, so you 4x the power with doubling amplitude

and then amp is linked to perceived loudness through a log base 10 of power

so if you double the amplitude, you get a 41% increase which is happening here

when it really should only be around a 20% increase

[lavish crest]

Not sure if this is the right channel, but some of the Azur Lane ads on YouTube are starting to get annoying real fast. Generally the opinion of friends not playing is that they are unlikley to start playing because of the obnoxious ads. Especially the one with the guy screaming when he got he got units during a stream. Thanks alot!

[ornate basin]

@lavish crest yeah its been mentioned like 9 times and everyone agrees to please change it but so far nothing

[naive cobalt]

I just realized that it's weekend, so GT or Official wouldn't be able to answer about skin sale duration or discount

[ornate basin]

[gritty junco]

Rip

[cedar horizon]

Suggestion: "x2 Gem return for your first recharge" can reset monthly; or Bonus Gem events like 20%, 30%, 50%, 75% in a short time every month.

[velvet adder]

They reset yearly

[cedar horizon]

but we want more

[naive cobalt]

who doesn't

[vocal trellis]

I don't know who the streamer is in this ad, but he very clearly says "holy shit" which is unacceptable (and potentially very damaging) for a YouTube ad

(Not specifically game feedback, but this seemed the most appropriate channel)

[wanton frost]

Looking for the ad so I can form an opinion. What platform was this?

Eh, see no issue here. If youtube deems the ad acceptable seems okay.

[ornate basin]

whys the streamer the mona lisa

[naive cobalt]

have you never played fgo? that's da vinci

[velvet adder]

minor feedback with the translation for the school day event quest, the translation for Hiryuu as "bully girl" and Souryuu as "taskmaster" is just awkward, dont think anyone say that in the english language. "Delinquent" and "Student Council President/Student President" would be much more appropriate.

[tiny wasp]

Show dupes when we open boxes?

[olive wadi]

Or just look at the number under the image.

[thorny surge]

Suggestion:

Make academy school screen automatically scroll to finished shipgirl before ask if want to continue learn or not because we have third slot now.

[tiny wasp]

wot Farv

the item isn't shown at all

I open 5, I see 3-4 drops

[dusk prism]

3-4 because some of the items u got are identical and thus stacked.

[tiny wasp]

OH

[olive wadi]

There's number under each image showing how many of that item you got. If you got a dupe it'll have a "2". Telling you that you got two of that equipment.

[tiny wasp]

yeah I'm a dumbass sorry

[olive wadi]

Hey, it happens.

[dusk prism]

[idle spire]

Would it be possible to please add the “mob enemy fleet level” to the pictured screen somewhere, so it’s easier to put together low-level farming fleets for stages you haven’t looked at in a while? (For example, the mob level of 5-4 is Lv.56.) Thank you!

[raven crater]

@idle spire It's been sugested, but to be honest it only costs you 10 oil to check it out, or just remember that the enemy level is usually around 10x the world number plus a few levels

[idle spire]

Ooooh that’s a good tip actually

[raven crater]

The game can't hold your hand through everything

[idle spire]

10x the world number + change

Got it

[raven crater]

But yeah, you'll pick up stuff like that from playing

[arctic forge]

My Suggestion is

I hope there is BGM at dorm

Because it's boring without some music

[deep scarab]

@raven crater Hey, I want to report a rule break/suggest a new rule in the game, should I PM you or...

Chats can get out if hand in EN server.

*of

Implementing a report chat button would make a great change like no one will say bad things in non-english language. I think its ok to use other language than english as long as its not the explicit.

Some people might also peomote something non-AL related too. Which can be easily found by admins who got the report.

If this report button would be implemented, people warning who misused it can get a warning too.

This would attract more decent players and decrease unethical players.

Its much more efficient than report per chat

[naive cobalt]

This idea has 2 pretty big problems:

1. It's incredibly easy to abuse.
2. Are you suggesting them to hire a lot of people whose sole work is to read every single reported message?

what is "report per chat"?

and no, manually reading every reported message can't be more efficient than anything

[deep scarab]

Report per chat means like there will be few people who will report it to different admins. Instead, why not 1 admin handles all the report?

[naive cobalt]

because he will go crazy

[deep scarab]

I think 1 admin per chat room is enough

Oh oh yeah

Nvm

[naive cobalt]

this is a lot of work

[deep scarab]

Yeah i get it

Anyways, should i pm my report to you?

[naive cobalt]

why me?

[deep scarab]

Youre not the admin?

[naive cobalt]

[deep scarab]

Oh

[naive cobalt]

Nah, just a dude

[deep scarab]

Other than naviking, is there other admins?

[naive cobalt]

Navi is moderator, not an admin

[deep scarab]

Oh

[naive cobalt]

There's one admin and that's GTRacer

[deep scarab]

Ok

How can i chat this guy?

I think he is on facebook but i dont remember his account

[raven crater]

@deep scarab I am not sure what the terms of use of the azur lane chat room are, but I don't think it's feasible to have it moderated. That's quite an additional expense to employ someone (or more likely, multiple someones) to monitor chat and check messages.

If you have concerns over something someone has posted in game, you can DM GT at GTRacer#6606, but they are on holiday right now and might not be back until Monday or Tuesday. Make sure to include the server it occurred on (Avrora, Lexington, Sandy, etc.) as well as that person's username and the offending content.

[deep scarab]

Oh ok

I have screenshots

[round edge]

Can this be made a feature? Turbo battle? What happens when you give the girls too much sugar and/or caffeine. Died of laughter when I first saw it. I already put this in bug reports and submitted a report on it.

[raven crater]

@round edge haven't seen your video but I think I know what you're talking about XD. It tends to happen when you leave the game paused or switch away during battle and come back, but I think it only affects movement speed and not reload or anything else. Someone did suggest a sped up autobattle though.

[round edge]

It’s too funny to not include officially into the game.

[cinder raft]

pls implement sped up auto, pls implement sped up auto

[naive cobalt]

and give apologems for not doing it earlier

[ornate basin]

the AI can only think so fast!

this game isn’t an idle game

implementing a sped up auto would make farming be way easier than manual

meaning people wont do manual anymore

and more people spending less time on the game

[naive cobalt]

it still could benefit from speeding up

just not as big as people think

[ornate basin]

I think exercise is alright because its not the main feature of the game

[naive cobalt]

more like animation optimization, stuff like that

even (giving an option to) removing cut-to-BBs will save a lot of time

[ornate basin]

speeding up things like barrage?

[naive cobalt]

yea

I'm not talking about auto, but game in general

[cinder raft]

yes pls

I'm running a 3 BB level fleet atm

when they fire, battles take forever

[naive cobalt]

[velvet adder]

BB are stronger than CV, but in exchange you lose some seconds of your life

[cinder raft]

Berserker, don't do this to usssss

[naive cobalt]

I'll bite you

[cinder raft]

[velvet adder]

You are right tbh, the BB firing animation feels way too long.

[cinder raft]

option to refresh commissions maybe?

I hunger for oil

[velvet adder]

Trust me, Cubes > oil in the long run

[naive cobalt]

drills

[cinder raft]

I tend to run out of coins before cubes, sadly enough

[velvet adder]

You will get more coin per minute every 10 levels

[cinder raft]

It's not enough! I demand moar wealth!

[velvet adder]

Also, you will swim in coins after world 7 gets released

[cinder raft]

oya? what happens in world 7?

[velvet adder]

7-2 has the best spot ingame to farm gold

[naive cobalt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460643534685470730/485934934599663626/unknown.png

[cinder raft]

wew, sign me up fam-oh my god Restart

press F to pay respects

[naive cobalt]

And you'll get better commissions with levels, so you'll get enough of that black liquid gold

But cubes

cubes...

can't get enough of those

you'll get enough
unless you're running full 60 oil fleet that is

but in that case the only thing that'll save you is certain cat-girl in the shop

[naive cobalt]

just in case you didn't know - only 8 first are good, after that is pretty meh

searchal Commissions

[turbid gazelle]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&search=Commissions

[cinder raft]

for the Major Commissions, it says it "will always be one of the highest available for the player level. "

I'm currenly rank 72, but I see level 25 major commission

is that normal?

[naive cobalt]

majors - are the first 8 ones

oh, Major

[velvet adder]

When was the last time you did a major commission Lancer?

[cinder raft]

prob when I started out tbh

[naive cobalt]

those don't reset

[cinder raft]

thought it was one of those daily or random ones

oof, gotcha

[naive cobalt]

you have to complete them

[cinder raft]

so do it to reset

[velvet adder]

You need to do it or you won't get a new one accoding to your level

[cinder raft]

👌

that's a lotta oil tho

[naive cobalt]

just use less for farm

ok, feels like we went off-topic somewhere

[ornate basin]

turned into #gameplay-help

[cunning delta]

I'd like to suggest a speed up option for excercise pvp fights, and when doing commissions a way to omit certain ships from "advice", it keeps selecting my bullins

[velvet adder]

if your bulins were lv 1, they wouldn't get selected. But you are right, we still need a way to unselect some of them.

[cunning delta]

oh i better use them up then i hate dealing with it, thanks for the tip

[raven crater]

You could also just

select the ships you want to bring

[velvet adder]

select ships? What is the point of the lazy-button then?

[ember sail]

please bring code account binding to EN like on JP, some people just dont want to use social media to link or at least make it link with google accounts. Thanks

[ornate basin]

oo google accounts

[velvet adder]

Code binds are a hassle and inevitably lead to requests to recover account for the support staff

Stop being autistic about social media, make a burner Twitter/FB account and enjoy all the benefits of a 'proper' account without the risk of losing all your stuff

I dont know if this has been mentioned yet, but it would be nice to be able to filter dock by retrofit-able ships

[ornate basin]

I agree ywis except for the autism part

@velvet adder I agree!

[outer grove]

Next event is where they'll add Shoukaku, Zuikaku, Nowaki, Ise and Hyuuga in the game

but would you add Yukikaze too?

game admin will you add her too please?

[velvet adder]

As much as i would love to have ykkz this early too, i am sure they can't change what they have planned to do on the event by now. We don't know yet if she will be there or not, but it is pretty likely that she won't

[gritty junco]

just another ship for them to translate if she is

and translation takes time

well, decent translation takes time

[wanton frost]

I'm sure the time to translate is not the issue

[ornate basin]

my friends do not play Azur Lane or know of its existence (until the ad) and they are stating their negative opinions of the ad...

it really needs to change

I got the ad on another device and I was in a state of shock, so I did not skip the ad even though I really wanted to
im being a bit negative yes but theyre really terrible and I know its been spoken of 900 times but they gotta go!

[olive wadi]

I'm glad I live in an area of the world that doesn't get ads for EN Azur Lane. I don't know of them until someone posts them here. I can only imagine viewing this ad without knowing what Azur Lane is.

[ornate basin]

yeah its

I bet its way worse

never knowing what AL is, and then your first peek into it is some dude with the damn mona lisa as their face, talking about putting a ring on a hand, and then getting excited over marrying akagi
makes it sound like a visual novel type game, or a dating sim

and the other ad, a dude literally screaming about getting his target ship

thats not really gameplay and advertises the game totally wrong

[olive wadi]

Just a little cringe-y.

[ornate basin]

it was cringey enough to make me freeze and stare at the ad in embarrassment

[outer grove]

why not tell the game admin to take down all Azur Lane ads and replace it with the most generous ones?

[ornate basin]

we have had this exact discussion more than 5 times and nothing has changed

[outer grove]

like the Game Admin of Girls frontline take down those bad GFL ads

[ornate basin]

theyre getting worse

[wanton frost]

I'm glad I live in a world where ads are easily blocked and basically don't exist any more.

[ornate basin]

I think its because they are in a sponsorship with the streamers

which is kind of lame in my opinion(if thats the case) but thats just the way the cookie crumbles

[wanton frost]

I don't love the idea of sponsored streamers either, but the ads themselves seem better than 95% of mobile games ads.

[outer grove]

Just hire 1 guy who knows how to make proper ads?

[olive wadi]

Sure, mobile ads almost all suck, but these are obnoxiously terrible.

[outer grove]

i know a guy from one of my friend knows how to do it

[ornate basin]

https://twitter.com/AzurLane_EN/status/1029625771965394944?s=20 this would be a great ad

[patent narwhal]

I never seen that mona vinci streamer ads, what I heard from you guys sound like the very worse ads.

[ornate basin]

so basically it starts with him saying
“I get to put the ring on her finger! thats cool I get to put the ring on her!” he rings her
then akagi says her oath speech
and hes freaking out and is excited

thats literally it.

[wanton frost]

Why wouldn't he be? IT's exciting

[ornate basin]

but its not really the game

[wanton frost]

It literally is part of the game

[ornate basin]

its the oath feature of the game, not the main gameplay

[wanton frost]

Possibly the most important part to some people, who are you to judge?

[ornate basin]

things like advertising the gameplay, showing off dorms, things like daily raid/commissions/exercise

who said I am judging?

[olive wadi]

The ad doesn't tell you why it's important. That's what's wrong with it.

[ornate basin]

I was very happy when I finally oathed Enterprise

[wanton frost]

I mean a honest ad about gameplay would be a monotone voice saying "You do auto combat over and over praying for a rare drop that never comes, then if you're really lucky you run out of oil so you can put your phone away and not worry about it"

[radiant cove]

Can we migrate this discussion out of the feedback please?

[ornate basin]

is it not feedback though?

[naive cobalt]

an honest ad about oathing is "you slide your finger up once and that's it"

[ornate basin]

I get the discussion has happened multiple times, and thats really saying something, and its really unfortunate nothing is really happening

[naive cobalt]

you can make anything sounds boring if you want to

[radiant cove]

I'm not saying it isn't. But scrolling through a lengthy discussion to the next feedback also doesn't help anything.

[naive cobalt]

i feel like discussions about why exactly part of the game is bad and how it can be improved is pretty valid feedback. also it's harder to dismiss subjective things like "ads are bad", when there's a lot of people complaining about them constantly

but ok

[velvet adder]

Just do as I do and tag a mod when giving advice, then

[slate field]

If we can't have discussions about feedback like this then this channel is a waste

these discussions are your feedback, they're a great way to gauge the sentiment on things without it being one-sided or a single person's opinion

[normal vine]

@raven crater regarding the "no commander exp" thing (in #known-bugs) - seems you get less and less when doing low maps

I'm doing 2-4 right now and only get 2 exp per battle (at commander level 65)

I mean, kinda makes sense that you don't get much when using a level 70+ fleet to blast through a level 10 map

[naive cobalt]

I'm doing 3-3 at 61 and exp seems alright

maybe depends on ships level and not your level?

[normal vine]

hmnope

[naive cobalt]

oh, wait, you're talking commander EXP

A gap between commander XP and enemy ship level diminishes the XP gain: a 21-40 level difference halves the XP gained, and a 41 and above difference reduces it to 1/10 of its original value.

my bad, sorry

[normal vine]

(I mean, I did suggest to clean up #known-bugs of solved problems ...)

[naive cobalt]

And dude who reported it was level 49, so unless he was farming 1-1 - his EXP gain shouldn't be "+0"

Even if he was - lowest EXP value is 20

which makes it 2, not 0

[wanton frost]

Commander xp is also affected by how many ships you are using in your fleet. A 1:1 setup will earn much less than a 2:2 or 1:3 setup would

[naive cobalt]

and that is not 2 for sure

[wanton frost]

Weird, possibly he took the screenshot before the exp talied? I just did a run and notice it starts and +0 and ticks up 1 at a time.

[naive cobalt]

or possibly he encountered a bug and got nothing

[raven crater]

@normal vine @naive cobalt Someone said that the commander EXP bug is visual and you still get the proper EXP. But it is true that if you run lower level maps, you'll get less EXP. Not zero though

[long stone]

it should be missions instead of events on daily/weekly tab

[placid fox]

A really major addition/suggestion. Have the players have a "base" and in this base you could have various things like the academy, one other place for resource collection, another place for your dorm, and eventually other features would go here well. And what would really spice it up would be attacks and defenses on bases, similar to clash of clans, perhaps you could merge the exercises with this feature. It can be NPC's attacking the base or players attacking other players bases. If its PVP then that would just create an entire new aspect of the game, and this aspect would give players that already have their dream fleets with all level 100 ships, +10 items, etc., The rewards for winning and punishments for losing can really be anything

[velvet adder]

That is a whole mess od new functions, art assets, redesigns, play testing and balancing.

Is there a reason we're running events instead of fixing the myriad of bugs in the game?

Many translations faults, typos and word-wrapping issues are carried over from the CBT days.

They are fixing the most important bugs first

And they are fixing the game-breaking ones even faster

[olive wadi]

Events keep people coming and money flowing. Bugs that are game breaking get fixed quick. Others get put on the back-burner for later. Besides, the team that handles bug fixes and the event translation team are different, I'd imagine.

[velvet adder]

That's good info, thank you.

[gritty junco]

Translators probably don't know how to code, and why would they?

Also, theres a saying about bugfixes

Fix one bug, add 9 more

Change one thing in your code and you gotta change everything that depended on that one little thing

Sometimes they're not even related in the code, just in the ui, and you've suddenly got stuff where it shouldn't be.

[placid fox]

@velvet adder yes but it would be a game changer

[naive cobalt]

exactly

it's just going to be basically another game

[placid fox]

well it would be an addition, not a replacement

so maybe only let players do it after they beat like

some world

[naive cobalt]

what I mean - if devs are going to do something so big ever - it would be after careful and long planning and discussion inside the team, and not because someone's suggestion (no offence)

[placid fox]

well im just introducing the idea, yeah it would probably take months to implement if they really wanted to

but i think the payoff would be massive

[raven crater]

@placid fox And what would really spice it up would be attacks and defenses on bases, similar to clash of clans, perhaps you could merge the exercises with this feature. I will actually kill myself

Also that is basically an entirely different game mode, there's nothing simple about it

I'd much rather they introduce something with guilds before we consider this

[gritty junco]

I'd much prefer this game to stay the way it is, as in no punishment for losing a pvp battle you didn't even take part in

[placid fox]

yeah i figured, no punishment works too

@raven crater i mean theres lots of possibilities, maybe the attacking system could just be like trying to clear a map, or maybe more similar to just an exercise with a couple more mechanics and other rewards

never said it would be simple

the addition could be something ranging from a slightly more complex version of exercises and just a re-adjustment of where the dorm, academy, resource collecting and whatever else is

to a completely different gamemode

[raven crater]

I'm just saying if we're going to add new game modes, we should be adding something for guilds, not ripping off an existing mobile game

[placid fox]

not ripping of an existing mobile game

again it could just be a reformatted exercise, not like you send ur ships as troops rushing into a base, that would really be ripping off clash

[patent narwhal]

Base attack and defense what? For me big no to that. Different genre and will also become different game mode. High potential P2W. and reformatting system is not that kind of simple thing, like boiling water in the kitchen.

[velvet adder]

It'd be great to actually get season rewards as a guild

I have a lvl 4 guild with 24 members and that's something everyone would look forward to
