[velvet adder]

They're gonna keep waiting them, 'cause a PvP game this definitely ain't

[dire talon]

An option so we can mute specific ship's voices would be cool cough Portland cough javelin cough

[velvet adder]

Doesn't fit the scope of the game, nor its lore, nor its mechanics. If you want Clash of Clans, for some godforsaken reason, you're better off playing that. Grab the Horus Heresy themed one, it's actually really good for what it is and doesn't charge an arm and a leg.

Squelching ships is something that's already been recommended... but does bear repeating.
[loud KOCHI DAYO in the distance]

stop bullying sara-chan

I will do so when she stops mauling my ears

[waxen echo]

I've been feeling weird for longtime now, it is when waiting at loading screen while listening to happy navy song, yet the art is showing hood at that state.
I know its not a simple thing and I'm sorry to the artist, but would it be replaced later with a more happy art? Like belfast with a love cake.

[raven crater]

They rotate the loading screens every once in awhile, you'll have to wait until then.

Also, WWII was sad

The beginning of the game is Pearl Harbor

[ornate basin]

[neon kite]

Can devs please look into the character limit of ingame chat? The current limitation works for CN/JP because those languages are much more compact in comparison to english. A word in cn/jp usually takes up no more than 1-3 characters while the same words in english (or any european language) will easily take up several characters. The current limitation makes it incredibly frustrating to chat ingame due to the extremely limiting character limit per message.

[velvet adder]

Already suggested ^^

[neon kite]

😳 sorry

[frail epoch]

This pic is maybe from the Japanese servers and not meant to be here?

I don't know, has none English text so I assume

[naive cobalt]

that's the authors signature

[frail epoch]

Ok

[velvet adder]

People were asking for a new loading pic and we got that

[naive cobalt]

and that's really cool pic

[frail epoch]

Why not an Akashi loading screen?

Yeah

[rocky monolith]

Is it possible to get the translation more localized? I don't mean like individual spelling errors or comma's in the wrong place. Often times things read very odd, stiff, and awkward. Like with some of the new events, there were characters who would audibly say 'Whines' according with dialog boxes.

[naive cobalt]

Events are done by a different team than profiles and such

So it's pretty inconsistent (and also really awful)

[rocky monolith]

That would explain why the secretaries are generally pretty spot on, but the story and events come across like they were translated, but never QA'd.

[naive cobalt]

iirc Navi already brought up this issue with the Yostar, so we'll see what happens next

Doubt anything will change in the near future tho

[rocky monolith]

Possibly. Granblue had the same issues for early missions and so did the First SAO game that was brought over, but they got improved eventually, so hopefully this does too.

[naive cobalt]

game is still in beta after all

and it seems like they want to burn through early small events as fast as possible

we just need to wait and see what happens

[slate field]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/9ijf0e/consistent_translation/

Not directly feedback, but a thread with some opinions on the translation

[pulsar turtle]

So was there ever any mention of apology gems for them posting the wrong date for the summer skin sale seven separate times without correcting it? Cause that was incredibly lame.
Really they should just put them back on sale for another ten days.

[naive cobalt]

No there wasn't, because devs still haven't come online since (there's some sort of vacation as far as I know)

And also - I have no idea how is this deserves apologems, it's not like you weren't able to play the game for the whole week or smth.

[gritty junco]

everything deserves apologems

but seriously tho they should just put them back on sale for a few days for the people who read the mistake and thought they had more time to buy the skins

can't do anything til the devs come back tho

[ornate basin]

I think it deserves apologems for being inconsistent

the translation is inconsistent but

messing up dates is usually very serious

and it is (imo) really lame that they would say its one way on multiple platforms then have it be different than advertised

[pulsar turtle]

I mean, they say I've got until the 30th to buy so why rush to buy them as soon at they're up.

[naive cobalt]

If anything - they should just give us those skins for free as a compensation

Now that would be fair

[pulsar turtle]

and they posted that date seven times between FB and Twitter so it's not like it was a one off

[ornate basin]

LOL I just saw an AL ad on youtube but heres the catch
it advertised Cassin evolving into Ark Royal, then Ark Royal evolving from elite to super rare
just wanna get this out there what the heck was that?

[velvet adder]

Can we get a sort option for only ships who can be retrofit?

[ornate basin]

been suggested

[rough vale]

i really wish we could rotate furniture more than 2 directions. these chairs are really messing with my OCD

[slate field]

@ornate basin they need to fire whatever ad agency they are using

It's absolutely obnoxious

[raven crater]

@slate field I DMd that to GT/AL Official already (also they've been told many times the translation needs work)

@rough vale Suggested

[slate field]

I just posted it for the comments in the thread

As they elaborates on more than what is found in the picture

I know that those particular lines have been reported to death

[raven crater]

It's really a systemic issue which they're aware of

[slate field]

Glad to hear that, sorry for bringing it up so many times

I promise, I do it because I care

[raven crater]

It's fine, just want to let you know that they're aware already

[slate field]

[winged valley]

Would it be cool to add USS Yorktown (CV-10) and USS Hornet (CV-12) in the game?

[twilit hill]

?

Why though

Actually it could be cool i guess

Like the st louis’

[velvet adder]

Hornet is in the game.

And Yorktown. What?

He you, the ones we have are Yorktown-class, the ones he is talking about are the (~10 year later ships) Essex class

[wanton frost]

Would be cool if they added the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C) too.... what, it would. Okay I'll see my self out.

[ornate basin]

why not midway yet

jk I know shes coming eventually

essex finally came in

[gritty junco]

they should give eldridge an event or personal mission where she travels to another dimension

[shadow rune]

Maybe tone down on the notification pop-ups?
Going through 3 of them pre-login screen and once more in-game every time you boot the game up gets tiring real quick.

[zealous cosmos]

That should be #tech-support

[sage owl]

Thank

[wicked solar]

should i complain about no apologems now or later?

[naive cobalt]

try never

[wicked solar]

[wicked solar]

how about now?

[naive cobalt]

no

[eternal lodge]

we need gems

[naive cobalt]

You should be one giving stuff to devs for allowing you to be productive for at least an hour of your life

[wicked solar]

same i also dont like free gems

[velvet adder]

What about a new mechanic. When barrage abilities like All Out or Erebus' Nightmare proc, the game slows and you can direct the attack?

Or at least in PvE, let it auto target.

[waxen echo]

How about an exercise battle which we can choose the opponent from our friend list, or guild comrade, but no experience gained from it. Yes just to measure our strength or simply a showoff.. Lol.

[naive cobalt]

It was suggested

[fast radish]

Can someone plz contact Bilibili to fix the problem regarding Kaga wedding skin not having voice

[woeful shale]

For the game shop, please offer more Gem Packages for Sale akin to the First Time x2 Bonus Packages. Would be great to be able to buy more gems at a good price. 😃

[plain coral]

Ability to lock gear, for faster filtering of gear that should preferably be dismantled

[cinder raft]

Maybe make it that ships with maxed affinity no longer spawn hearts in dorms, just poked a heart on a 100 affinity ship 😒

[unborn horizon]

@cinder raft ur ship can get more than 100 affinity.

[cinder raft]

I understand that, but that's only if they're oathed ya? And what if they were oathed, would they still get hearts at 200 affinity?

And if so, should it still keep spawning hearts, or should it be changed to spawn coins or something else?

[ornate basin]

still get hearts?

afaik they can still spawn affinity

but it changes nothing

[cinder raft]

ya ya

[ornate basin]

let me check my enterprise

[cinder raft]

that's why I suggested maybe have it changed to no longer have chance of affinity when at max affinity, whether at soft cap or hard cap

[ornate basin]

its been 6 months and she still spawns hearts

Im sure people would complain that its “broken”

[cinder raft]

think about the potential dorm coins Kawaakari

[ornate basin]

3 dorm coins is nothing to the 60 I can get in a day

its called commissions, emergency commissions, and daily food refill

[cinder raft]

[full flint]

please put usd next to the cost of gems made me spend more then i intended

[gritty junco]

you in someplace that has $ but isn't the US?

[uneven hound]

Will it ever support offline gameplay?

[timid field]

I don't think so

[velvet adder]

It's not built for it

But it could be turned into one, I've seen some shut down mobage getting an offline makeover

[azure ingot]

Please, add french

[naive cobalt]

additional languages were suggested, but don't expect it anytime soon

[azure ingot]

I understand, the game is recent. but give it more languages ​​= more visibility. the developers would have more money to help his progress.

[naive cobalt]

right now they need to make sure game actually works

additional languages are not a priority

[azure ingot]

Ok, if it's in suggestion it's a good thing

[naive cobalt]

also even English is pretty sub par as is

so they need to fix it first

before they add more

[azure ingot]

Ok ^^

Ty

[naive cobalt]

np

[raven crater]

@velvet adder Being able to direct a barrage would make it extremely overpowerred. Part of what balances the brute force of barrages is the fact that they have a specific shape/range/direction.

@fast radish This is only for the EN server. Kaga wedding skin isn't even in this server, nor do I think her missing voice lines is even a bug, they probably just didn't record them.

@plain coral Just sell everything blue and lower except for fire extinguishers and the 76mm (I'll add it though).

@cinder raft, @full flint I'll add yours too.

@azure ingot I'm not adding yours to suggestions solely because they DO already have plans to translate the game to other languages, just nothing concrete yet

[split light]

So is it meant to say "Skin" for equipping gear sets

[naive cobalt]

known

[split light]

Ah okay

[naive cobalt]

[azure ingot]

Thx

[full flint]

@gritty junco yes nzd currency $40=60usd

[worldly python]

Account binding via Google Account, E-Mail or Code with ID and PW.

Account binding on english client is worst ever seen. Why isn't there an opinion for code login same as in japanese client? There are only two options create a twitter account or a facebook account. Perhaps add some e-mail login or google login for binding a account cuz not everyone want to create a fb or twitter account.
Found this feedback alot but never anyone answered it.
So, is it planned?

[velvet adder]

Found this feedback alot but never anyone answered it. You can see a list of the current suggestions in the channel description and in the Pins, if you see that it is already there, it means they already know that we want it and you don't need to suggest it again.

[worldly python]

@velvet adder Ok, I'll check it again thy

[azure ingot]

@raven crater I read the suggestions, there is only the Chinese language.

[velvet adder]

He said that "he isn't adding the suggestion", because the devs already have it planned.

[azure ingot]

Ah ok

[cyan venture]

Hello Devs,
I wanted to make a suggestion because I care how the game and community develops, im aware of the content of the next patch which is cool and awesome, but, after that make sure you guys add the next Worlds (at least World 7, but world 8 would be the most suitable) because people need appropiate content to use their high level ships, (specifically people with level 100 ships). If this delays too much, people will likely lose interest in the game, im a JP and EN player by the way, hope you get this into consideration, thank you

[raven crater]

I'm sure they're going to add more worlds eventually, but if it's not already planned I don't think now is early enough for them to be prepared

[velvet adder]

if possible, please revert Javelin's voice to how it was before, it was much more charming and cute before it was changed with one of the update: either 8/30 or 9/13 patch.

[frail epoch]

Is it possible to make the search in dorm to not look for exact word but instead just match the word not minding lowercase or uppercase? I think it would be neat, I don't know nya

[azure shoal]

It's Of course Note
Instead of Not

[velvet adder]

You should report typos on #bug-reports and it was already reported

[azure shoal]

Rip...

I checked the doc, it wasn't there @velvet adder

[velvet adder]

@azure shoal https://imgur.com/a/gdhR9DU

@raven crater Can you move that typo to the "story and event" album?

[raven crater]

Done

@frail epoch added

[pulsar turtle]

Any word on putting the second set of swimsuit skins back on sale, or sending out gems, or whatever to make up for posting the wrong date so many times but not correcting it?

[velvet adder]

I want to recommend the addition of a Blue Bulin. A Minibulin that can drop randomly and only works on Blues and lower.

[soft rock]

I want to recommend an option to change having a pop up whenever an ability is activated in battle, not the actual name pop up but the shipgirls themselves, it seems to effect lower end devices and has made the game almost unplayable for me

[gritty junco]

so the ability to turn off the cut ins?

speakin of performance options, perhaps an option to turn off the rain

if it isn't part of the background

[naive cobalt]

rain?

also disabling cut ins and graphics options were suggested

[ornate basin]

its apart of the background afaik

[naive cobalt]

I think there should be clearer distinction that binding in options menu is "save" while on start screen it's "load" (if that makes sense)

[ionic forge]

Pls make the game data to .obb

For fast download and comfortable

Soma many crash and bugs.. Try to convert data to .obb

I think this better

[wide shell]

Pls add lvl 60, 70, 80,.... rewards

[velvet adder]

"Ryuusei" is misspelled in the last twitter update. I just hope it isn't misspelled ingame as well.

[naive cobalt]

preemptive feedback isn't really a thing

[velvet adder]

So, where do i report twitter misinformation?

[naive cobalt]

Nah, it's ok here. I just doubt they will do anything

they still haven't commented on the whole skin's discount thing

[velvet adder]

i don't think they will

[naive cobalt]

~~we just need to spam GT about this ~~

About Z23 twit - I don't get this part

Is it a mistake left from reusing picture or what?

Or do they expect there to be 10 000 people suggesting?

[brittle mantle]

where do we make the suggestions?

[naive cobalt]

Also a question - should it be something that will make sense for AL EN or just anything?

(and whatever the answer is - you should specify it when event actually starts)

[little acorn]

Crunchyroll partnership. Enough said.

[naive cobalt]

It's too early yet

And I imagine there would be specific channel for that

[little acorn]

fair enough

[velvet adder]

Can we get some colab with touhou pls xD

This game is almost like a danmaku after all

[naive cobalt]

I mean...

Answer is the same

It's too early yet

And I imagine there would be specific channel for that

[velvet adder]

I knw

This event start tommorow r8

[timid trench]

I think a twitch or youtube collab would make sense since jp has niconico skin and cn has bilibili

[naive cobalt]

And I imagine there would be specific channel for that```

[timid trench]

Yea i know that

Early discussions

[naive cobalt]

It's not really channel for that

you can go to #460643534685470730 for discussion

[timid trench]

[upper mortar]

Give me the laffey bilii bilii skin, thanks

[raven crater]

@naive cobalt discord server is past 20k members at this point. 10k is feasible

~~Also, we need a Brave Frontier collab so Linbot can be canon ~~

[naive cobalt]

But how many of those 20k are active?

[patent narwhal]

6k - 8k

[vagrant knot]

idk if this text-channel is for gib suggestions but:

Game Suggestion:
incorporate a auto-stage system ingame
Restrictions
must clear 50 times the stage for enable it
after u clear stage u need to select the stage again

i prob will get alot of hate due the suggestion

but yeah, is just for make low cost farming easly :c

[naive cobalt]

You probably won't as they won't make this

[vagrant knot]

rip

[naive cobalt]

And it was suggested and shot down like 4 times already

[vagrant knot]

didn't know

[naive cobalt]

Not saying you should

Just fyi

[vagrant knot]

but would be great imo, well if they don't want to guess will need to struggle in havin this hell grind

anyway thx for the info

[naive cobalt]

It's not idle game

So they don't want to make it too "auto"

[velvet adder]

W8 w8, hold on guys. I think this filipe guy on to something

[naive cobalt]

is he?

[vagrant knot]

wut u want me to add rain?

[velvet adder]

I have a feed back myself. I think we should remove auto battle and manually control our shipsfus like a real admiral. U know what I'm saying?

[vagrant knot]

wdym?

[naive cobalt]

#461381136661217283

[velvet adder]

No auto

[vast juniper]

no auto

[naive cobalt]

How about changing rewards of some commissions from drills to medals? Drills become really useless really fast (as you get too much of them to ever realistically spend), while medals are not that valuable while not being as useless as 200+ drills

[velvet adder]

And i am trying to avoid them as much as i can

[naive cobalt]

especially major commissions

getting 8k-12k exp is nice and all

but 5 drills isn't

[gritty junco]

I completely agree

I mean whats the point of a build timer if we never actually have to wait for it?

I think it should be balanced so you have to save em up for events, not just use them on everything.

[naive cobalt]

(I know I can add it myself but I'm not gonna )

[idle tree]

Dude, I rather they remove the build timer instead of taking away the drills lol

[naive cobalt]

Yeah, if only I suggested to change some of them

[midnight pewter]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[naive cobalt]

[pliant walrus]

Do they plan to improve the guilds anytime soon ?

[naive cobalt]

check pins

[tacit jacinth]

Craft option for "enhance material" plz

[dark meteor]

Co-op mode, real time PvP, please. We want play with other.

[tiny stratus]

is there any way to view all equipment at inventory including the one that being equiped?

i hope we can get this feature...

[cinder raft]

Only option atm is when equipping a specific ship, then it shows all the available equips for that ship. It won't show all as you wanted tho x.e;

would be nice when trying to find certain items eh 👀

[velvet adder]

@dark meteor Think about all the lag you have ever seen olaying original Dark Souls, State of Decay or any other online coop game. Double that for PvP.

[raven crater]

@dark meteor Real time PVP would be quite difficult seeing as this isn't a turn based game. That being said, I feel like they DID do that for an event in JP at some point, but I'm not sure, I missed it.

@tiny stratus That's been suggested

[simple vigil]

EN needs to catch up 😦

[naive cobalt]

it's... month old

[ornate basin]

lmfao

[simple vigil]

But.. 😦

[naive cobalt]

but?..

[snow sonnet]

tbh given how fast we're getting things, it's clear they're already trying to catch us up
just be patient a little while longer

[patent narwhal]

I thought they've already made explanation about it. you can check it here or visit #461437354872143883 channel.

[simple vigil]

@patent narwhal Thanks

[velvet adder]

Real time PvP wasn't in, ever

What we got was an event with a quasi-PvP where you manually controlled your Frontline, but the enemy was still automated

[silver hemlock]

Future for use of guilds? Like adding backup for missions using other's secretary or guild wars?

[naive cobalt]

check pins

[vapid flax]

For some reason whenver I encounter a Yorktown in pvp her skill text is blank at times

[naive cobalt]

known

[summer ferry]

I'm not sure if I want the real time pvp. this game is laggy but auto saves me a lot. not to mention the delay.
Although I do want to challenge battle with my friend's fleet for fun. Like, you type the ID and you go battle. Iirc, Gems of War did this, but it didn't come with any reward. It just pure social.

nvm, it's already on the list. searched it with wrong keyword

[summer ferry]

btw, i searched this but apparently didnt find anything (searched by usng keyword hard).
On hard mode on the world 2, one of the requirement is to slot CV, can it be more flexible? like to slot CV or CVL. I can't progress at all because I haven't had any CV, but CVLs. Building gave me no luck. Thanks

[olive wadi]

Well, it is "Hard Mode". You'll get a CV eventually. Heck, the upcoming event revolves around Shoukaku and Zuikaku. Both of which are CV's.

[vagrant star]

Would it be possible to make “claim victory” missions also applicable to PVP?

[olive wadi]

"Claim victory 3 times in exercises." is already it's own mission. We don't need them to count double.

[frail epoch]

May I suggest a 6th slot for the dorm, that way we can level up a whole fleet instead of just 5

[velvet adder]

I want another Commission fleet.

[candid condor]

I'd love to have the option to use the CN version of costumes as i prefer them to the JP versions

[frail epoch]

All skins from all languages/servers/versions should be in every game language. Like all CN and JP in EN, all EN in CN and JP so forth

It would be a wallet breaker, but eh

[raven crater]

@frail epoch CN has censorship laws, which is why their costumes are more modest in some cases in the first place. Furthermore, suggestions here are only for AL EN.

It's been suggested to add CN skins to EN though

@velvet adder I'm sure everyone would like another commission fleet but unlike Kiraro's suggestion about the additional dorm slot, I don't really see an adequate justification for yours other than "it would be nice"

[calm thunder]

Some kind of focus farming mechaninc? Like you choose a certain ship/bluprint or whatever and at the expense of getting any item besides the one you chose you have an increased chance to get it (like say a normally 1% item gets a 2% or 3% chance to drop). Of course you will still need to farm and luck would still play a part, but I think the balance would be from the player deciding whether having a higher chance at a specific thing is worth more that having normal chances and aslo getting other stuff.

as a possible counter balance you may need to first get the ship/item one time first but after that you can choose to focus on it.

[clear quarry]

Could you guys put a setting to remove the filler borders on 18:9 phones? There is a chance they might burn in to AMOLED screens if we are playing for hours everyday.

[ornate basin]

dont play for hours everyday

[frail epoch]

What @calm thunder means is that after getting an item the drop rate increases, kinda like Pokemon that once you find that species it appears easier. I don't know

[naive cobalt]

no he doesn't

he suggests ability to chose what item gets a "rate up" by sacrificing other items drop rates

[frail epoch]

Ok, that would be like giving the ships field skills

[raven crater]

@calm thunder @clear quarry added

[cinder raft]

A button added to the [Items] tab that says combine all(...) [tech boxes] (could add skill books or retros, but that might be overkill).

In the case of tech boxes, it'll first combine t1 into t2, then t2 into t3

That would def be a time saver

[cinder raft]

shouldnt it say navy?

beaver text also seems reversed when placed on right wall

[naive cobalt]

reversed text is known although that's how it's on CN\JP as well iirc

[olive wadi]

They literally just mirror the graphic from one side to the other. That's why you can only rotate it two directions. The "I WANT YOU" Uncle Sam poster was made for the Army during World War I. While they could change it to say Navy for the fun of it. That version is pretty close to historically accurate.

[cinder raft]

ahh, gotcha

[chrome galleon]

Either i broke the game and a Lv1 came up or somehow a 5 fell off

[velvet adder]

No no, the problem isn't that the 5 fell off, it is a Lv. 1 commission, but it just looks like "as if another number could fit the space"

[chrome galleon]

Oh....i thought i broke the game somehow

[velvet adder]

The wiki says that it requires lv 1 too.

[chrome galleon]

Whoops

me had no idea thought it was a bug My bad

[still owl]

Hi, where can I report someone that's engaging with shady activities? Specifically trading low cost gems in exchange of handing your account so they can top it up for you?

[raven crater]

@still owl Please DM a moderator

[still owl]

Ok thanks. Will gather more information about this information then I'll DM you in a bit.

*person

[raven crater]

@chrome galleon For clarification, you don't ever actually get rid of the lower tier commissions, they just get a less chance of showing up

[foggy vale]

Would be nice if we could combine equipment level up books to the next tier even if it was like 20 books instead of 5 to just reduce the fact you got 900 odd common pieces just sitting in your inventory with little or nothing to do with them

[naive cobalt]

not sure I got you, but you can combine books

or you talking about plates?

that was suggested iirc

[velvet adder]

"equipment level up books" sounds like plates

[naive cobalt]

yea, I just read "level up books"

[foggy vale]

Yeah them

Just feels bad sitting on endless amounts

[normal marsh]

Change when buying packs "May receive the following items" -> to "Will receive..."

May indicates theres a chance to get x items in the pack, suggesting this as it mislead me and my friend once

actually https://i.imgur.com/spPhicS.png

my bad

[dusk shuttle]

Please bring back gear skin boxes

Missed out as I only started recently

[velvet adder]

Don't worry, it comes back from time to time.

[dusk shuttle]

The school one will?

[velvet adder]

I mean, they bring it back in some events.

afaik they bring back the same boxes with some new stuff in them

[dusk shuttle]

Oh then I am content

[quiet bloom]

Azur Lane X haifuri collab?

[velvet adder]

Please read #server-news @quiet bloom

[quiet bloom]

I know, but it's sound interesting right?

[velvet adder]

Did you even read?

[quiet bloom]

Nvm

Your don't get what I mean

[velvet adder]

We are literally having an event where you can suggest that in the bot and instead of doing that you are asking here...

[tacit jacinth]

@raven crater crafting option for higher "enhance material" isnt possible?

[summer ferry]

isn't it be better if some important announcement like maintenance announced in game? it's not like I was bamboozled while doing something, just it might be better for those who missed twitter/fb update post but still in game playing.

[wide shell]

add an 2x speed button, cant stand the slow motion gameplay. why do i have to watch them even when i know i win lol ...

[olive wadi]

"I already do nothing. Can't I do nothing faster?"

[velvet adder]

Youjo Senki collab pls

[olive wadi]

We're having an event for collabs. #server-news for more info on how to join.

[ruby pewter]

make it so we dont need a real life thing like a bank as a suggestion to join and more people would suggest stuff ^^

[full ice]

surely this has been said before but the ability to rotate furniture in dorm all directions would be cool to have in the future

[velvet adder]

Please change the "Server down." message to "Maintenance ongoing." or something like that to avoid confusion. A lot of people don't know that we are under maintenance.

[idle spire]

Not the usual kind of feedback but, THANK YOU STAFF FOR ADDING SECRETARY STORY MISSIONS SO QUICKLY

My most-anticipated part of the game

[velvet adder]

Also like i said before, it would be nice to get a warning/notice ingame ~12 hours before a maitenance to remind people that don't check twitter.

[summer ferry]

second to those suggestions above.

[raven crater]

@normal marsh @tacit jacinth @summer ferry @wide shell @full ice been suggested

@velvet adder I'll add your suggestion about "server down" in a bit. @ruby pewter just put "none" I guess if you don't want to suggest a real life one. We can't change it now though, that's how Yostar wanted it set up

[tacit jacinth]

didnt see that suggestion in the list though😓

or is it denied

[raven crater]

Oh, I forgot to add it to the public one

Fixed

[primal island]

When maintenance finish ?

[forest gull]

Still maintenance?

[naive cobalt]

#server-news

[astral imp]

It got extended, which honestly should result in gems as compensation for ending a major event early and for expending large amounts of time

[naive cobalt]

it won't

[astral imp]

I'm well aware that it won't, but it technically should due to large amounts of lost time. I just want to play the game in all honesty

[naive cobalt]

It's 1 hour

[astral imp]

It's actually 7 hours if you count the full maintenance

[naive cobalt]

it's 1 hour more

and stop begging gems for every small thing

I also love free stuff, but 1 hour of extended maint is hardly something that deserves gems as compensation

[fathom sandal]

Do you plan to add account binding to GooglePlay? Recently, trust in Facebook is a bit diminished. I think many would be comfortable authenticate using Google Play. I hope that in the future there will be such an opportunity.
Sorry for bad english <:

[naive cobalt]

they're working on it

binding using google for sure

not sure if they plan to do anything else

[long stone]

could the game remember that turned auto on when restarting game?

[naive cobalt]

it was suggested

[long stone]

really?

[naive cobalt]

yea, I'm sure it should be in a spreadsheet

[rocky vault]

the pixel emotes are great,but it would be cool of headnod has a pixel version of it too

[cyan venture]

the whole visitors dyed in red is bugged it seems

[naive cobalt]

not out yet

[tardy arch]

no the event starts on the 30th.

[cyan venture]

oh, thanks for the info

[velvet adder]

today is sturday, and i'm too late to submit my fav game..sad

[normal marsh]

oh yea i didnt see my suggestion in the list either thats why, but glad you fixed it! Keep up the good work

[graceful niche]

Shouldnt they allow us to save our current dorm design?

[naive cobalt]

It was suggested

[raven crater]

I'm pretty sure that's something you can do

@graceful niche

cc @naive cobalt

[naive cobalt]

oh, wait, you can?

nice

[ornate basin]

yeah thats always been a feature

[fleet yew]

A lovely feature that would be nice in the dock is filter by fleet

For those who has more than 1 or 2 fleets

[naive cobalt]

game puts girls who are currently in fleet on the top of the list

and even says in what fleet they're

[sly canyon]

@naive cobalt

intended ?

happen if you 150/150, then receive purin/bulin from missions

[long stone]

thats normal

[sly canyon]

intended or not

[naive cobalt]

[velvet adder]

yes, totally normal, it happens in jp too

[long stone]

yes

[sly canyon]

cool

[naive cobalt]

Even if it wasn't - how should I know

[velvet adder]

You are a game guru pls

[sly canyon]

idk

[long stone]

fire him

[naive cobalt]

no one hired me to fire me

[velvet adder]

you should know everything (even if you have to lie )

[naive cobalt]

[frail epoch]

In Daily, instead of saying 'Open:#/#/#' it should say 'Open: day/day/day'

In this case 1. Mon 2. Tue 3. Wed 4. Thu 5. Fri 6. Sat 7. Sun

I think it's easier to understand to substitute the number for an abbreviation

[naive cobalt]

one of the first things suggested

[frail epoch]

Oh... Oh... Oh...

Well, back to drinking Coke Zero

Well, second suggestion, probably already mentioned but can hard mode stages give more than one blueprint? Either several blueprints from flagship or one per ship at random

[naive cobalt]

doubt that, but it's possible we'll move to how JP/CN works at some point

(that is "3 daily tries, but 2 BPs from each")

[frail epoch]

Do 6 daily tries with 2 BP

[naive cobalt]

and gems for each one, sure

I mean, they already reworked them at some point and didn't changed "6 BP per day", so I guess they think this is perfect amount

[frail epoch]

We have Daily with gear upgrades, skill books and gear loot boxes, there are two slots coming soon, one better be for BPs

I just need a ton of BPs for retrofit Long Island Q~Q

Anyways, I noticed there isnt a Fortune 'pray' or 'bless you' emote

[neon kite]

Could devs please make it so it's possible to see how much gold / oil that's been produced in our merchant & canteen before actually picking them up? It's nice to know exactly how much it has filled up so one can better plan when deciding to save oil for e.g. an event (like what most ppl are doing right now). Currently, it's impossible to know if your resources has hit storage limit in their respecitve production houses unless we time it ourselves thus risking preventable resource losses.

[velvet adder]

You can see the number in the commission menu

[neon kite]

😮 had no idea, thanks

[velvet adder]

Recommendation: Implement a button to instantly clear a fleet (formation).

Right now it's a tedious process of swapping out every ship if one wants to overhaul a given fleet.

[long stone]

just drag them and throw at offscreen

[velvet adder]

maybe something for guilds to achieve together.
like a bigger boss that gets its total hp reduced by the damage that each member deals until it's beaten
or missions with that have a total count that each member can chip into
like destroy 9001 fleets. and each fleet defeated by any member would count towards it

[frail epoch]

@velvet adder so, you want a raid boss where all guilds deal a bit of tickle until it dies

[nocturne scarab]

Rexommendation : To have rewards given out at specific seasonal rank in exercises. Best example reward would be the merits, oils, golds, or maybe even gems for top 1000.

This would be cool since it would encourage people to ply exercises(climb rank) despite being in colonel rank.

[frail epoch]

If we win before the time runs we get a prize

[naive cobalt]

@velvet adder check pins

[velvet adder]

ok

yeah something simmilar to that acyually was in my mind

but not down to a timer but to a complete wipeout

like, multiple large raid specific bosses. unobtainable legends purely for testing the might of guilds and rewarding guild members that participated. limited runs per member, and the more they take down as a guild the more rewarding it is, probably starting down at basics and working up to something more substantial

[frail epoch]

Why is the Long Island Slacker thing a side quest? If it was an event quest we would know what to do but...

[naive cobalt]

'cos it's not an event?

event implies time limited

this one isn't

[frail epoch]

Still, you could maybe have done something to show what to do without guessing where the quest is?

[naive cobalt]

it's side quest

[long stone]

character story quests are pernament

[naive cobalt]

'cos it's not a main quest

it makes sense

[frail epoch]

Well yeah, but still, after each cutscene it should at least say what to do

[naive cobalt]

that's entirely different problem which I agree with

[frail epoch]

After the first two cutscenes I thought I had to retrofit her to continue but no, just do 10 battles, wasn't specified anywhere

You have guess it's in the side quest tab

[clear heron]

some of them imply, but awkwardly sometimes. does the mission pop up on the top of the all tab though?

[frail epoch]

Nop

[clear heron]

so it's at the bottom of all the side quests?

that might be a bit harder to see, then.

[frail epoch]

It's the first in Side but not in all

If it was the first quest in All it would be so much easier to see

[clear heron]

oh, I've finished dalies, so it's not an issue. will need to see if weeklies also pushes it down, which would make it a bit harder to find earlier in the week.

[naive cobalt]

I just think it should take you to the list of side missions automatically after accepting it

I'd guess it's pretty easy to do

[clear heron]

Didn't it? I don't recall, actually.

[frail epoch]

See, it's not on top of All

[naive cobalt]

And solves the problem

[clear heron]

Oh, yeah, that's going to be harder to find.

[frail epoch]

It doesn't take you to it or specify what to do after the cutscene

It's gonna create confusion cause some might not find what to do until they accidentally do it, like meh

[long stone]

you should remember after that it is in side missions

[clear heron]

So as a suggestion, when triggering secretary quests, bring players to the relevant mission after the cutscene.

[long stone]

i just showed it

[clear heron]

oh, was that for the first one?

[long stone]

yep

and you should remember after first one that those missions will be in side

[frail epoch]

Yeah, but still, should be a bit easier to see

[clear heron]

if people need further help, I suppose they could just make that popup for all the cutscenes...

unless it does. I've forgotten already, tbh.

[frail epoch]

When you set Long Island as secretary and tap it takes you to a cutscenes and then shows that

[long stone]

after turning in mission cutscene appears and end when u are in side window so its hard to reappear it again

and it stays on top

[clear heron]

oh, right. in the end, I suppose we have to rely on people reading.

[long stone]

pay attention and you will win

[clear heron]

I didn't and managed to fumble through, though

[olive wadi]

Character Questlines aren't events. They are a permanent part of the game to be completed at your leisure. Thus, sidequests.

[long stone]

too late m8 😛

[velvet adder]

Recommendation: Implement a function to remove (if only temporarily) Indy's "mask" thing.

[clear heron]

maybe a skin in the future. for now, unlikely.

[velvet adder]

Since Suffolk's expression changes upon touching her, maybe we could do that?

Because Indy doesn't have her mask on in the avatar.

And the discrepancy is driving me up the wall.

[clear heron]

suffolk's is somewhat of a new thing, IIRC, that has to do with her cutscene appearance.

think she's the only one with expressions, but would be nice to see more of that.

[olive wadi]

New skins get expressions. But we're EN and don't have "new" skins yet.

[velvet adder]

I don't think such a minor change warrants an entirely new skin though.

[clear heron]

also, think the mask thing is because it's part of her gear, and the avatar is the ship without gear.

[velvet adder]

Interesting.

So far I've yet to notice another case...

[clear heron]

it was brought up before, but I don't remember if it was on discord.

[velvet adder]

I see.

Well, thanks for your explanation.

Guess I'll be up on that wall for some time.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frail epoch]

Oh god, Suffolks expression change is more creepy than cute... Guess I'm just Doki Doki traumatized

[wide shell]

We can craft higher tier blueprints, .. pls let us uncraft them (1t3 to 6 t2) since droprate for t2 is lower than t3

[placid fox]

Add some shading around enterprises eyes for her wedding skin, it looks really unnatural

her face appears flat almost

Like I’m not tryna get married to flat Stanley

Her entire face too it just looks flat

Maybe some more shading on the left side of her face because the light source is on the right side of her face

[rigid owl]

enter oath skin is cute

[ornate basin]

she really doesnt need anymore shading on her face @placid fox

the light exposes her entire face

her nose being a block in it

understandably

[dull notch]

VERY IMPORTANT Suggestion: Unicorn oath skin.

[velvet adder]

I just want to suggest an EN exlusive rate-up for Yukikaze, if possible in the next 2 months(the sooner the better for my heart). I am sure a lot of people want to get their hands in the best girl and every second of waiting is just suffering, and even more when you have to kill her in most maps

[rocky vault]

a decent in-game server clock would be nice to know if it's a new day

[velvet adder]

You have like 3 clocks ingame already

The one in the "Munitions Shop" is the one that tells you when is a new day.

[wary flame]

Increases damage taken by 2dollars?

Also since this is shoukakus skill it should say "when in the same fleet as zuikaku"

[long stone]

already reported

like by 50 people

[wheat dagger]

Can we give them feedback to say this event's translation looks worlds better than a lot of the previous stuff and to keep up the good work?
I spoke too soon, dialogue gets weird in part 2

[toxic vapor]

[olive wadi]

Oh, flying aircraft carriers!

Best report that.

[tardy arch]

lol some of the mistranslations lead to really funny imagery :P

[long stone]

there should be some notification in game that there is new update to download

[frail epoch]

The Moon Rabbit event has a similar issue, where Saratoga 'flies' away being a carrier

I think all carriers have some dialogue here and there where they fly even if they shouldn't be able to

[velvet adder]

Azur Lane confirmed to be set in the MCU

[hidden kettle]

I guess I can post suggestions here? I think Duplicates of the same build need to be more useful. So far, you can use them to get more stars and for enhancements. But Is there something beyond that? I got several dupes.... lots of cubes and cash down the drain for no reason......

[radiant ivy]

doing commissions and having commons on one star to grind missions 4cheap

[olive wadi]

Use duplicates as Enhancement material.

[stone marten]

use duplicates for unlimited supply of medals for t2 retrofit part purchases

[hidden kettle]

@radiant ivy thx for the reply. I don't get it though. What do dupes have to do with commissions and what 1 stars?

@stone marten O right medals, I forgot about that. But the reason I forgot is because the girls they display are dupes I already have as well. They are also displayed for too long. 14 days was it? Perhaps display 2 SSRs or lower the days. But now that I remember, I could exchange for some ssr Bulin

[naive cobalt]

You can also exchange them for items

[hidden kettle]

also true, though I don't see me doing that. well, if they plan to add new girls eventually, then getting dupes and saving up probably isn't too bad

[naive cobalt]

I don't see me doing that
It's pretty good way to get extra BPs, or some high-level food

Also books if you're low on those

[radiant ivy]

@hidden kettle if you keep 1 stars, they cost less fuel/oil to use in battle, so you can power one up to 4star and keep another one that you just level up and later enhance too max, for grinding stages that you want ships from

[hidden kettle]

I searched dupe, duplicate, exchange so I don't think its there in the doc. But thanks to everyone's reply, I made some realizations. But in the end, guess I'm just not satisfied with the exchange shop (rather than dupes). Only thing I care for is Bulin. I'd rather grind/do dailies for the items. End feedback.

[naive cobalt]

Yeah, that's the only drawback of the system that actually allows player to get playable characters without awful gacha rates

[olive wadi]

Actually, I can think of a pretty big drawback to having good gacha and drop rates, but I'm not going to get into it here. It would be a wall of text as it's my biggest issue with the game and would take a good amount of explaining. Plus, good rates are a good thing, too. So, it's a double-edged sword.

[heavy sorrel]

Why not make a weekly challenge that you can do 3 times a week and that gives you bulins?

with the Universal bulin having a drop rate of 65% and Mk II 35%?

[frail epoch]

Just buy her with medals .w.

[velvet adder]

Add an oil/coin exchange with pvp shop, even small amount is better than nothing

[surreal wigeon]

would love a retrofit supplies package, those purples are slow to acquire

[velvet adder]

you can transform blues into purples

[old crane]

Would love to see dorm loadouts. Having loadouts for which ships are in there for quickly swapping between your current fleets

[empty spoke]

A lot of boats that debut in chapter 8 normally drop from the event

It's kinda nice

[summer ferry]

Can we get a better equipment explanation on which gear can be used on a certain battleship? On the wiki, we have an explanation on the aux gun slot uses DD/CL main gun, but in game, it just said "battleship". The equipment I got was CL main gun, and can't be used on my BB that use DD main gun. There's a little to no indication to this if it isn't equippable.

Apologize if it's already been suggested. Searched by the keyword equip/gear didn't find any, unless I missed that.

[rustic aspen]

Is this really true? Could it be that Zuikaku has +2% chance while Shoukaku has +0.7%

Last event PoW (farmable one) had more chance while Atago (draw only) had lower chance

[ornate basin]

yes seems so

[rustic aspen]

I found this weird

when I saw shoukaku has higher chance

[naive cobalt]

iirc Zui will have higher rate up later, but maybe I'm confusing with something

[velvet adder]

Wondering if they are ever going to come out with a purchase subscription option for gems or even cubes, daily for X amount of days?

[ornate basin]

daily trade?

[cinder raft]

I wonder if they're referring to the monthly card system that gives you a small amount of premium currency every day for a month, in return for a higher money to premium currency ratio (better value over time)

e.g. Girl's Frontline monthly card system

This. I was confused because first time bonus is amazing but title said never buy $25.99 pack. First time bonus is obviously good but here's the numbers from the FAQ after the first time bonus for whales.

$1 = 60 gems = 60 per dollar
$5 = 330 gems = 66 per dollar
$10 = 800 gems = 80 per dollar
$26 = 2000 gems = 76.92 per dollar
$50 = 4000 gems = 80 per dollar
$100 = 8000 gems = 80 per dollar
$4 (month) = 900 gems = 225 per dollar (but only receive 30 each day for 30 days, cannot be bought again until there are 7 days left and it extends the remaining by 30 days)

source: can't link post because discord bot's blocking it. /u/FirosAhoge 's post tho

[rough vortex]

Just wanted to give a little feedback on the new event stages

Non-hard mode is very hard

level 60 ships starting

Maybe it would be better toned down somewhat?

[velvet adder]

non-hard? you mean hard?

[rough vortex]

I mean the first stage not in hard mode

has lvl 60 ships

[tardy arch]

he means normal mode.

[naive cobalt]

[rough vortex]

yeah normal mode

meant that

[velvet adder]

I see lv 30 in normal mode...maybe you are doing hard by accident?

[rough vortex]

huh...

I might have done a goof

brb

[naive cobalt]

If only screenshots were a thing...

[rough vortex]

lvl 64 from c2

[tardy arch]

ikr if only screenshots existed. shame they don't.

[naive cobalt]

that's hard

you're playing hard mode

[rough vortex]

srsly...

[tardy arch]

yes

[rough vortex]

apologize for my goof

[velvet adder]

A1 to B3 is normal, C1 to D3 is hard.

[rough vortex]

oh does D3 have better drop rates vs B3?

[velvet adder]

Afaik the droprates are the same, the only different is the ammount of event currency you get

[rough vortex]

gotcha

ty

[tardy arch]

drop rates for ships are the same whether your on hard mode or normal mode.

[velvet adder]

and the blueprints for equipments are also differente i think

[rough vortex]

thought so just wanted to make sure

[naive cobalt]

#gameplay-help

[rough vortex]

sry lol

[raven crater]

@heavy sorrel I don't understand how your sugestion is better than the current system

(I added most of the other suggestions)

[jovial coral]

wat

im pretty sure pow and atago had same rates

[velvet adder]

no, atago was lower. It was like 2.25 vs 1.75 or something around that

[cinder raft]

Navi, thoughts on combine all tech boxes button?

so people dont have to combine t1 to t2, then t2 to t3

[wanton frost]

Pretty sure Atago was higher. Like 2% to PoW's .7%

[velvet adder]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Events/Effort,_Hope,_and_Planning @wanton frost

[wanton frost]

Eh, I'll take the wikis word for it I guess, I sure didn't bother to screenshot any different. I rolled my Taco and got out.

[naive cobalt]

I got 2 Atago and 0 PoW, so it's obvious her rate was higher

[ornate basin]

I got 1 pow and 0 atago

[woven harbor]

can we get some warning about when the limited supply packs are leaving the shop?

[long stone]

daily challenge with retrofit blueprints would be better than with bullins

[naive cobalt]

yea

it should be hard

and available everyday

[velvet adder]

I think that is a good idea, since we are rushing retrofits we can't get enough retrofit blueprints

[naive cobalt]

I think just changing it to a new format should be enough, to actually motivate people to do those without feeling like it eats too much oil

[velvet adder]

oh, i actually mean another way aside from the hard mode btw

[naive cobalt]

or maybe doing it somehow via expanding daily tasks

yea, I know

but that kind defeats point of hard mode then imo

as it's literally "daily that's available everyday, and you have 6 of those"

it's already plain "better daily"

[supple drum]

I know this would be a little bit complicated but, since Sandy server is "EU" could "nightly commissions" start a little bit earlier? Right now they make absolutely no sense, they start at like 5am and server reset is at 9am, there's almost no reason to do them, just wait for reset and start with the 1 hour long comissions

[long stone]

sandy isn't eu server, it was just released when they opened up region to new players

[naive cobalt]

every server is the same save for medal exchange

[fading cliff]

btw, can i request Azur Lane will keep playing even if you choose another app on splitscreen?

(for better quality of grinding, 2 birds with 1 stone

[heavy sorrel]

@raven crater the system is good, but getting bulins is hard. so why not make something to earn them instead of missions and all that stuff

[long stone]

getting bulins is hard

[fading cliff]

bulin isnt hard, the gold one does, one per week

[naive cobalt]

not sure what you talking about, @fading cliff it works in split

[long stone]

from pvp weekly and medal there is like 8? bullins gold monthly + events and chance you get copy on pull durning month

[naive cobalt]

It should go to #bug-reports

And if it's not in albums - report it via the form

[timid field]

I see thanks

[naive cobalt]

it was reported btw already

I just checked

[fading cliff]

@naive cobalt , i see, but does it paused when you choosing another app? mine is always paused when i click on another app

[naive cobalt]

no it's not

maybe just you phone

[olive wadi]

It might have to do with different OS's

[long stone]

thats rly bad way to show it XD

[naive cobalt]

I'm showing that I actually tested it

[fading cliff]

i see, maybe i should research about it here and there for fix this, thanks @naive cobalt

[naive cobalt]

Not proving anything

[fading cliff]

[olive wadi]

Yeah, it must be an OS thing. Mine pauses if I try to split screen.

[velvet adder]

@naive cobalt It pauses with mine too

Android 8.1.0

[naive cobalt]

I have Xiaomi, so they have it's own version of Android

[velvet adder]

Well, LineageOS 15.1 technically

[naive cobalt]

Maybe that's why?

[velvet adder]

Not sure

[naive cobalt]

It says Android 7.0

(and MIUI Global 9.6)

[tardy arch]

allow guilds to trade oil and coin resources between it's members. it'd give the guilds an actual purpose.

[naive cobalt]

easy to abuse

you can create fake accounts and just suck oil from those

[tardy arch]

k then a daily trade limit?

[naive cobalt]

still the same problem?

unless you make it so small - it's absolutely irrelevant

and not worth even implementing

[fading cliff]

whoa, mine is Xiaomi too, but custom rom

Edit: Yes, It should be OS problem, gonna try with Xposed Module

[tardy arch]

i mean a limit in either the amount of oil you can trade or the amount of times you can trade.

[naive cobalt]

I would've recorded the screen, but I don't think it can do this natively

[olive wadi]

@tardy arch People would still be able to siphon oil from fake accounts. Making a trade limit wouldn't fix that problem. Just lessen it a bit.

[tardy arch]

damn. k nvm then.

[velvet adder]

What happened to the nice special packs in the shop? would be nice if we get them longer so I can spend my gems on them

[olive wadi]

They'll be back eventually.

[velvet adder]

yeah but I just got paid and I wanted to buy a huge bunch of gems and buy the packs to go all wild on the event

now Im not spending any money

[naive cobalt]

actually, there is native screen recorder

[tardy arch]

weird mine doesn't do that. it always pauses the game or discord depending on the window i'm on.

is there a way to change that?

[naive cobalt]

no idea

[velvet adder]

you need the newest version of android I believe

which has native multi tasking

[tardy arch]

my phone is updated (just checked) so there could be some kind of toggle.

k think i found it.

nope no idea

[fathom sandal]

Can you add a view of a ship received by someone to the game? For example, in a chat, the ship's name is clearly marked, and you want to click on it. I think this would be a useful function. I'm talking about clicking on this

[raven crater]

Got it

[woeful shale]

It would be great if Yostar could add some QA/QC to the EN Translations. A little bit of consistency in terms used would go a long way. Ships taking Dollar Damage and Flying aircraft carriers should not exist. 😃

[raven crater]

They know

it's because they have different teams to translate different things, and not all of them are good at it

But they're well aware of the translation issues and we do in fact have a compiled album for them to fix eventually

[onyx sapphire]

hi guys where can i report about purchase that hasn't come through?

[ancient scarab]

yeah me too

but mine jp sever

[onyx sapphire]

en server here made a purchase got google confirmation but haven't received the item yet

[ancient scarab]

me too

i bought a lucky bag but i got nothing and they already took my money

JP

[onyx sapphire]

yeah same bought trade license and still not in my mail box

[thick pendant]

Pls refill some special pack

[velvet adder]

I got two feedback:

1. Give ship the chance to receive skill exp after the match. Not always, but sometimes, maybe +100 or 200 skill exp would be nice.

2. When ringing a ship, please increase ship slot by 1, as exclusive ships cannot be removed (don't know, never dared to try) 😦

[velvet adder]

1. That's what the tactical classroom is for, and 150 exp is what a blue book gives. Nnnnoooo.
2. You can scrap a ringed ship.

[vagrant igloo]

the sprite for Shouhou Retrofit doesn't keep the facial animation from normal Shouhou, could this be added?

[round edge]

Nani?

80 aircraft carriers at high altitude?!

Since when could aircraft carriers fly?

[naive cobalt]

1. Translation errors go to #bug-reports
2. It's known

[round edge]

So… do nothing?

Thanks.

[real quail]

damn

when aircraft carriers fly

more like, space battleship Yamato

[zinc yew]

Is it possible to make it so we can see other people's dorms without being friends? I mean, you decorate the dorm for your eyes, and possibly someone else's eyes right?

It would be interesting to see other people's dorm, like from guild mates. Even just from looking through the public chat, whats the point of having a "Visit" button after tapping their name, if you gotta friend them first? At that point, just go to the friends list right?

[wide lintel]

Translation suggestion...
I keep seeing "Whines" being written out like speech.
eg. Whines... Oh no I'm going to be late!
If it's not literally being said out loud, actions like whining should be put into asterisks.
eg. *whines...* Oh no I'm going to be late!

It was all over the school festival story and I just noticed it again in the Visitors dyed in red event.

[signal rover]

Option to skip tutorial

Please game

[naive cobalt]

It will incentivize rerolling, so I doubt it

[cinder raft]

das some expensive rerollin' then 👀

[naive cobalt]

what do you mean?

ideally you going to see tutorial only once

And they don't want new players to skip it

if you asking for it - you probably just want to reroll easier, and they really don't want people to do this

and new players will probably just skip it thinking "nah, I'm smart, I can deal with it, I don't need handholding"

but spoiler - they can't

[velvet adder]

only short-sighted people suggest "skip the tutorial", what they should be really suggesting is a "built-in reroll system"

[naive cobalt]

paying gems to reroll gacha results

[cinder raft]

the price you pay

is that you can't reuse your name

imo tho, rerolling isn't worth it in a resource management game like AL

[clear heron]

as discussed in bug reports, change the number highlights in skill descriptions only to those that change with skill level.

[raven crater]

@zinc yew @wide lintel added (also Zeal I changed your name to follow the nickname rules)

@clear heron Added yours too

[clear heron]

oh wait, I could probably add that myself, now...

[raven crater]

@signal rover I'm going to agree with the others here. No reason to add skip tutorial as you shouldn't be rerolling anyway

and yes you could but I already added it

[calm thunder]

A small thing with the map menu, sometimes instead of hitting the button (just missing it due to big fingers) and instead tapping on the tile under that part making me move the fleet pretty much across the entire map. I would reccomend that having any tiles under that grey part be un selectable. Mainly because its annoying when youre tring to switch fleets but instead send your fleet into an ambush because you can stop them from moving once they start.

(the battle there isnt due to that) that was just me going to the map to screencap. TL:DR make the dark grey border thing around "switch" and "attack" be changed so that you cant tap tiles that are under it.

[frail epoch]

So, Long Island Retrofit who has no expressions has quotes marked as expressions but Suffolk who has quotes with expressions has none marked as expressions, right

Suffolks quotes should be marked yellow cause she has expressions

[velvet adder]

you don't have to close the app...

[naive cobalt]

I think expressions are WIP rn

At least that's how it looks, 'cause RNGer have them marked as well, but she doesn't have any

[velvet adder]

@hexed kite Gear icon(options) then the power up icon(disconnect)

[frail epoch]

Yeah, they're working on it but still, just thought I would let you know that

[raven crater]

@frail epoch I actually have no idea what your feedback is, that sounds more like a bug report and I also don't understand it.

[frail epoch]

In the 'Profile' box next to 'Quotes' you 'Expressions' and 'General', 'Expressions' is marked yellow so I assume that quotes with facial expressions are marked yellow

The facial expression Suffolk has is for 'Special Touch' which I guess should be marked yellow

[velvet adder]

I am pretty sure that yellow line is used to quotes that are different from the base form of the shipfu. The base form will always have 0 yellow lines, when skins/retrofits will have some yellow ones indicating that it is a new voice line.

But you are still right, "Expressions" is a confusing word to describe that.

[naive cobalt]

I thought it meant facial expressions

[frail epoch]

I don't know anymore

[olive wadi]

Yeah, the yellow line is meant to show special lines exclusive to that skin. Using the word "expressions" is very confusing and should, probably be changed. Probably to "special" or something.

[waxen echo]

Somehow this new emoticon at chat really lag my phone.. Is this a bug?
🤔

[timber warren]

Can you guys please put expiration dates on shop items if they are going to expire. The ring, oil, and dorm coin bundles had no expiration dates on them, so I figured they were permanent. I went to buy them today and they're gone. Please make sure dates are on all shop items that expire please. It is very frustrating

[winter escarp]

Did they really have expire dates on them !?!? I wanted to buy them there was nothing noted on the items

[timber warren]

No, there was no dates on them at all, hence why I am upset. Because I was going to buy them too

[winter escarp]

I mean where they supposed to expire or this a bug?

[timber warren]

Sounds like they were supposed to expire, but the game never mentioned it, so thats why I'm asking them to please put dates on all items that expire. Otherwise how do we know

[half thunder]

Bring back 120 gem/2000 oil please, why is it gone in shop? should have put expiration on the items. I was planning on saving them. -_-

^ this, really not fair haing those expire without telling us

same with ring pack

[velvet adder]

Most people were expecting them to be removed soon from the shop, since that is how it works it jp/cn. BUT, you are right, the rings weren't even in the patch notes and there wasn't even a way to tell if they were being removed ingame ever(they get added to the event tab in other servers afaik).

[normal vine]

random thought: it would be cool to get a minesweeper ship (e.g. German Osnabrück), who has the ability to clear the screen of all torpedoes and projectiles, like launching an airstrike does

[naive cobalt]

so... what would it even do?

is it just basically airstrike without launching planes and dealing damage?

[normal vine]

pretty much, yeah

[naive cobalt]

why

[normal vine]

well, if you make it e.g. a percent chance on taking damage, I'd definitely see a use for it in stuff like the current event's hard mode

when you have DDs who fill the entire map with torpedos, but you're still waiting for your (only, because squad constraints) carrier to get off her cooldown

I mean, I got that idea when clearing C2 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[velvet adder]

Hello

[winter escarp]

@velvet adder "Most people were expecting them to be removed soon from the shop, since that is how it works it jp/cn. " some people do not play jp/cn so thats not a defense to not inform people here on NA server

[velvet adder]

We have Repair Ships who do this "protect the fleet" kind of thing

They're completely worthless, contributing much less to the fight than any real healer (like say Unicorn/Shoho/Arizona) ever will while still healing less than said Repair Ships would

[ruby pewter]

well people reading chat here would have known that they are timed and why would you expect special offers to NOT be timed?

[velvet adder]

@normal vine

[winter escarp]

@ruby pewter some people do not 24/7 here, I pop here time to time i did not know, clearly others did not know, that not a defense to NOT inforing people IN THE GAME/shop

[ruby pewter]

oh rightz i forgot that humans dont like thinking but blaming others

[winter escarp]

@raven crater @sick locust @bleak vale mod help please with this insult

[velvet adder]

Now now, let's not be pointlessly dickish to one another.

Game probably should've mentioned the expiration date, since having more reminders is never a bad thing and chances are some don't follow the news.

[ruby pewter]

should just not bother with these channels, pointless waste of my time if people dont like getting answers

[normal vine]

@velvet adder I mean, a minesweeper could have DD/CL main gun so they're not completely useless

[velvet adder]

How very edgy. I'm sure the kids are impressed.

[raven crater]

@ruby pewter No reason to be insulting people

Plus I added it to feedback as mentioned earlier anyway

[ruby pewter]

i insulted humans itself and not a specific person IF i even insulted something lol

atleast get right what i insult

[raven crater]

This is feedback on the game, not the human race

Please keep the channel topical and productive

[velvet adder]

If this were a frontliner, it'd need to be much weaker than any of the other three classes

If this were a backliner, it'd be about as useful as a Repair Ship, ie. not at all

[ruby pewter]

#make repair ships usefull again

[raven crater]

@normal vine Oh yeah, not really sold on the minesweeper class, plus, creating a new hull type would involve a lot of game changes I think.

[velvet adder]

And considering minelayers are not fit for combat in any shape or form, I'd reject the notion entirely

I mean, we've seen how Battlecarriers (BBV) fared. Even now, with two very good ones (Isekai, Hyukai), they're seldom if ever mainstays, and they fulfil the role of 'screenclear vectors' while still retaining considerable offensive capabilities

And historically speaking, they were just dismal failures

[winter escarp]

@raven crater what did you add to feedback to this issue? cuz there is 2 different requests that releate to it:

1. make sure ALL limited time offers is stated and the time remaining left on them
2. being back the limited offers (housing, the ring bundle, the oil) because people missed out on them due to not being informed

[ruby pewter]

ring part will come back with most bigger events

[winter escarp]

i want the one i missed though from not being informed

[normal vine]

@raven crater I'm not really sure how they handle Fusou/Yamashiro changing class when retrofitted, but if they can do that, I don't really see how adding a CLS or whatever type should pose much of a problem, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[raven crater]

I added 1. They will bring more limited offers in the future. The feedback sheet is for long term feedback

But I can ask if they'll bring it back

[velvet adder]

The answer is "poorly"

[raven crater]

you won't get an answer until next week though at the earliest

You're suggesting that they add a hull type with new mechanics though

The Yamashiro retrofit is basically just "now she can equip certain planes instead of something else"

[velvet adder]

They are still technically BBs, but they lose their secondary guns and one salvo in their volley in trade for three extremely weak planes whose main purpose is pretty much just providing a slow, weak screenclear

And you'd rather have a frontliner with poor guns and no secondaries with a pseudo-airstrike that deals no damage

[normal vine]

the mechanics are all in the game already - you only combine "action on taking damage" with "clear the field of projectiles" (which shouldn't be that hard if they keep triggers and actions separated) for a new ability

[velvet adder]

This is extremely ill-conceived, from top to bottom.

Minelayers aren't combat ships, there's no reason for whom they'd be able to screenclear, and screenclears aren't part of a frontliner's resume. No.

[raven crater]

I gotta agree with ship on this, I'm not seeing enough benefit from an enhanced gameplay perspective compared to the difficulty in implementing this (plus the fact that you'd likely have to convince the JP and CN versions to add it too).

Throws off the game balance as well

[velvet adder]

Some ship could maybe have a skill that allows for a limited screenclear, possibly as a historical reference, but I don't see it happening anytime soon - if ever.

Z35 cleared mines, technically speaking - with her face

[normal vine]

@velvet adder *minesweepers, not minelayers

[winter escarp]

minelayers and mine sweepers are more "undcercover" they did not exacly go frontline, more so minelayers. a mine layer ship laied mines for them to be denotned by magnitc type of deal, they sat there for a long time, it is not fitting for an action type gameplay

[normal vine]

and okay, torpedoes != mines, but it's the closest we get right now

[velvet adder]

The answer is still 'no'

[normal vine]

mineSWEEPERS, Momo

[velvet adder]

It doesn't matter

[normal vine]

jesus fuck, reading comprehension ...

[velvet adder]

Minesweepers, just like the minelayers, didn't go on the frontlines

[raven crater]

Alright guys, let's calm down

[normal vine]

anyway, I got it, nobody likes the idea

bye

[velvet adder]

It's a silly idea

No offence, but it makes no sense - doesn't fit the realism perspective, doesn't fit the gameplay mechanics, doesn't fit the balance, it just doesn't work

[winter escarp]

it just doesnt fit with the gameplay style, that kind of thing is outside the focus of the game

if it was more based on "covert ops" more of a puzzle type thing, trying to sneak around, etc, ill fit there, maybe as a special mission / event type of thing, but it wouldnt fit in the main game of what this game's style is

[velvet adder]

JP/CN have an event with mines right now

They are a map feature, and guess what - DD clear them by moving over them on the map, because there's absolutely no reason to make up an entirely new class of ships (unsuited for live combat) just for that

[winter escarp]

yeah they move ahead of the rest of the fleet

The Admirable class was one of the largest and most successful classes of minesweepers ordered by the United States Navy during World War II. Typically, minesweepers detected and removed naval mines before the rest of the fleet arrived, thereby ensuring safe passage for the larger ships. They were also charged with anti-submarine warfare (ASW) duties with rear-mounted depth charge racks and a forward-firing Hedgehog antisubmarine mortar

[vagrant star]

Okay. This is absolutely pissing annoying. It’s been twice that I got Wisdom Cubes from commissions and they don’t show up anywhere. Idk wtf is going on

<@&484205160734916618>

[patent narwhal]

and why do you tag Game guru?

[vagrant star]

I have no idea

[raven crater]

#bug-reports , maybe. But you should record a video to go with it (also restart your game just in case it's not syncing)

No need to tag Game Guru

[winter escarp]

@vagrant star make sure you get "perfect" completion, not just "impressive" (or w/e the otherone, is)

[vagrant star]

I did. It said that I received wisdom cubes. However they’re nowhere to be found

[patent narwhal]

You can check it in your construction menu see if your wisdom cubes count added

[vagrant star]

I’ve checked storage, I checked the build menu... nothing

I even tried building but, obviously, that didn’t work

[patent narwhal]

You constructed a ship and it needs wisdom cube then your wisdom cubes that you've got from the commission already been used.

[winter escarp]

so your saying you had 0 before, completed the commission, told yo that you gained cubes, went to try build and still had 0?

[vagrant star]

^^^^^

You got it momo

I received a total of 3 cubes

They disappeared without me being able to use them

[tardy arch]

are you sure you received them? also were they from commissions or daily missions?

[winter escarp]

hmm give all that details in bug report i guess

[sharp yarrow]

I know it's not released in game yet, but anyone else think that Kaga's leg looks broken in her upcoming skin? Or is it just me?

[tardy arch]

it does look like it it's not. she just has her knee facing inward.

[frail epoch]

Her knee is facing inwards, but it still looks, odd

Anyways, I think character details should show what type of ship they are, for people like me who forget that this ship is a Battleship or this ship is a destroyer or a light cruiser

[raven crater]

Her surfboard is modeled after her airstrip

regardless, the special skins tend to incorporate fewer ship elements than the default skins

[frail epoch]

Yah

[raven crater]

I can at least incorporate the general feedback though, but I don't expect they can do anything about finished art

@frail epoch I'm guessing you're talking about specifically non-default skins?

[frail epoch]

Uuh, what Iean is the little ship type logo, it should be in here somewhere

[raven crater]

what "lean"?

Also it has her hull designation next to her name

[frail epoch]

I meant 'I mean'

Gosh autocorrect

[raven crater]

Also in order to get to that page, you have to tap her portrait, and the portrait has the icon

[frail epoch]

Yeah but my memory is super short and I also swipe sideways to change ships

[raven crater]

Then you have the designation next to her name

[frail epoch]

Yeah, but that doesn't state if Carrier of what they are

[raven crater]

yes it does

[ornate basin]

it says cvl

[raven crater]

CVL = Light Carrier

[velvet adder]

?alglossary

[turbid gazelle]

Here is a list of common terms and phrases used in the community https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Glossary. If there's a phrase missing from the list, please let the wiki staff know

[raven crater]

?shipsfilter

[velvet adder]

Consider reading this

[turbid gazelle]

Backyard Filter Translation

[raven crater]

this will help too, at least the part on the right

[ornate basin]

if you cant remember it still your problem unfortunately, after a few months/weeks/days you will remember, depends on the person

[frail epoch]

Right, it would still be so much easier to just have the portrait logo but ok

[raven crater]

The portrait logo isn't completely descriptive though

[ornate basin]

but if the game has been around for over a year and still havent implemented a hull translator then its not tha big of an issue

[raven crater]

For example, BB, BC, and BM all have the same icon

[ornate basin]

yep..

[raven crater]

You can also tell based on what they can equip what their hull type is

like, long island clearly has airplanes equipped. She has to be some sort of carrier

[frail epoch]

Fine nya

[ornate basin]

yes

you will eventually remember and what navi said

[frail epoch]

I mostly just confuse destroyers and cruisers but ok

Like Belfast who is thicc yet she is light and Indianapolis who looks light but is heavy

[raven crater]

DD = Destroyers
CL = Light Cruiser
CA = Heavy Cruiser

Don't do it based off looks. There's a correlation but I think there's deliberately not a strict mold

otherwise ships of the same class would look too samey

[ornate basin]

bb and dd are the ones that get mixed up usually

[velvet adder]

@winter escarp Just want to make clear that i wasn't trying to defend them, i said that most people that usually talks here and asks about everything knew about it (and this is clearly bad, sharing exclusive important info -such as expiration dates- here and not in the patch notes/ingame). THEN i said that you were right because most people that play the game aren't even in this discord or have never played other servers. I was defending you , not them for not informing everyone correctly

[winter escarp]

sorry just upset over the whole thing

[vagrant star]

I’m positive I received them and they were from commissions.

[velvet adder]

character design should be whatever the heck they want it to be, it's their art, man some of you folks need to atleast google the "Hull classification symbol" it chilling there when you view the character stats

[velvet adder]

New Ship idea: USS Constitution. When used as Flagship of a mostly Eagel faction fleet, provides offensive/defensive buffs. Will obviously not be effective ship killer. Said ship is still in service to this day.

https://ussconstitutionmuseum.org

Old Ironsides is still afloat.

If this idea is accepted, then I'll provide more information

[raven crater]

I think we should probably wait until we actually get the ships we're missing before we start suggesting new ones

[velvet adder]

(you should probably ping that)

K

cries in bald eagle

I also second pinning that note to add the missing ships first

[summer ferry]

we need more KMS ship :(
on another note, can we have different text for lock confirmation when the first time we get the ship? The message "Are you sure want to lock this ship?" implying we directly / deliberately tap a lock button while what we do is just tap randomly. Imo a message "Do you want to lock this ship?" is better.

[ornate basin]

theres a lot of kms ships

just not in game yet for EN

please be patient!

[summer ferry]

but does KMS have more CV other than zeppelin?

[ornate basin]

thats a good question

[median widget]

No

[naive cobalt]

Not sure where it should go, here or in bug-reports, but I assume that's how it works in every version of the game.

Basically, hard mode needs to stop moving ships randomly however it wants to. For example, here first position requires DD (which I already have 2 of). If I'll add DD to the third slot - it will be moved to the first slot for no reason at all.

Which is a problem if I want to change that DD for some other class.

As now I need to remove her from the fleet entirely, so Z23 would move to the first slot again AND THEN put whoever I need to.

You can say "Well, it's the same if you want to change Z23 for someone else" - while true, I still specifically put her in that "DD only slot", so that would be on me.

[naive cobalt]

I have one more suggestion - while I understand why it can be not that easy to do, given small mobile screens - maybe pause menu during the battle can be used to display cooldowns of "every X seconds do Y" abilities, or active (non-permanent) buffs as it can be pretty hard to keep track of things like these during the fight.

[tardy arch]

ya something like a timer for buffs. maybe in the upper left?

[naive cobalt]

it will be too cluttered during the actual gameplay, but in pause can easily be put on the sides (or just the whole pause menu can be reworked tbh)

[tardy arch]

if they move the manual button under the pause button (or put it in the menu cause that'd be safer) they could but a buff/debuffs timer in the upper left.

[naive cobalt]

I'll just... remove it

[tardy arch]

something like this.

that way the buff/debuff timer could go in the upper left.

[naive cobalt]

you mean during the gameplay?

There might be too many of those to be shown there during the gameplay

[tardy arch]

i think at most you'd see 3 to 4 at a time.

[naive cobalt]

they still need to work under the assumption of possible maximum

so roughly 12 of those

in a corner

[tardy arch]

well if screen space is the issue they could just have a small character portrait with a timer next to it.

[naive cobalt]

and not to obstruct the gameplay

some characters may have more than one tho

I'm not saying they do, as I don't know every character's skills

But it's not impossible some may even if in the future

[tardy arch]

well i know people have more then 2 brain cells so if they can remember what skill was called a second ago they should be able to figure it out.

[naive cobalt]

that's why I'm saying "roughly 12"

by that logic people can also remember when the skill was last time, or if it's happens ever 20 seconds - just counting back 20 seconds on the timer

So "you can remember" is not an argument when I'm suggesting something to make "remembering" easier

[tardy arch]

or they could do a small character portrait with little icon of the skill. one sec i'll show you.

[naive cobalt]

Actually

There's a compromise possible

Although not sure how easy\hard it is

displaying it in the corner as you suggesting, but 5 secs before it's going to proc

So you can get ready

And after it procs - it "sticks" there for a few secs, so you can see how long till the next proc without needing to remember it

[tardy arch]

something like this but the skill icon would be a little smaller.

and then a timer next to it or even above the skill icon. it'd save on space.

like this.

[velvet adder]

Exchange spare Quick Finishers for Wisdom cubes 2:1 ratio min

[raven crater]

That would be too op, denied

[velvet adder]

(i would exchange 100 drills for 1 cube tbh)

[ornate basin]

I wish even if it was 5 or 10 essex disappears soon

[velvet adder]

I just wanna get rid of my drills at once
