i would agree with some bbs
#game-feedback
tardy arch
anyone with more then 2 brain cells can put 2 and 2 together. 
no need to specify.
daring breach
yeah atm it says rodney, when its common on a lot of bbs
minor robin
I am 100% sure sodak doesn't have it
Her skill line is kinda hard to miss given her voice
daring breach
can remove the section on rodney entirely
then "some ships" is probably morte approirate then @minor robin
i dont have all the bbs to test atm so thanks
naive cobalt
Now you just taking a piss @tardy arch That's Hornet's "Start of battle" line
tardy arch
i made the video to show the HFCR doesn't bug all BB lines like with rodney.
it had nothing to do with hornet.
naive cobalt
you were showing at hornet's line, so should've specified 
daring breach
Hornet's skill line procs with VF-soul is what i think hes saying right
naive cobalt
made the video to show the HFCR doesn't bug all BB lines like with rodney.
he was showing that Cali doesn't have this issue
daring breach
yeah
naive cobalt
that's it
tardy arch
ok give me a few seconds then.
daring breach
thats fine o-o
i think someone said it doesnt affect all BBs
restart does it affect hood too?
naive cobalt
no
tardy arch
there.
naive cobalt
only when actually shooting
daring breach
then again sodak and cali share the same skill so if it doesnt work on sodak it prob wont work on cali
probably bugs some skills and not others
tardy arch
i'd confirm with sodak but she's on a commission rn.
naive cobalt
Ok, I'm done with issue as soon as I change this in trello. Please use bug report form in the future. It's actually way easier for you and me both.
daring breach
to summarize:
VF soul = generally always proc CV skill lines
FRC = inconsistent, and ONLY at the start of battle, and only IF ship doesnt use their intro line. after that, voice lines remain the same (no voice if failed skill, yes voice of skilled)
naive cobalt
that's not true, it works the same way on BBs as VF on carriers
daring breach
what does?
naive cobalt
as in "Hood used her line every time she used barrage, even without procing her skill"
daring breach
Huh? No.
naive cobalt
when I removed it - she stopped and used it only on proc
naive cobalt
You told me to test it - I tested it
daring breach
yes its double bugged then
naive cobalt
That's how it on Hood
daring breach
im agreeding with u
naive cobalt
daring breach
because on my nelson she wonwt say anything if the skill check fails
but in ur cause
hood is spamming
the shit outta her lines
so basically the FRC is hella inconsistent, but yeah can amend to say some ships will spam mid sortie, thats why i was asking about ur hood testing
anyway thanks for changing
night dude
knotty belfry
A day in the week when all stages are half-cost on oil, or maybe random stages throughout the week. Perhaps a daily op that involves oil excavation? Also, more oil. Like 10000. I can give the devs my uid to ensure the game is balanced for everyone else. And tell them I love them. Mainly the first sentence, though.
soft forge
Need a way to abdicate current guild leader when gone for long
tardy arch
wait what would giving them your uid do? and ya that would shatter the games balance into infinitesimal pieces.
patent narwhal
Seems not balance for everyone just for him I guess.
minor robin
I see where he's coming from since quite a few other games have that, but since AL doesn't operate on the same mechanics those game do anyways, it would break AL
naive cobalt
@soft forge surprised this one wasn't suggested before. i add it
ornate basin
someone log my suggestion from yesterday 
its a good one!
ornate basin
be able to convert retrofit blueprints
what the conversion rate would be, anything
unless they purposefully want you to grind the same hardmode map for 1 month to get what you need.... so be it
eternal prism
I'm not sure if it already exists in other versions. I was showing and recommending the game to a friend and let him try it, but he complained of the stages being too short.
And I've also seen some people complain of what to do in game once "you have everything".
So I was just wondering, if having an "Endless" mode would fix that for some. Could be a nice way to put your best fleet to a test too. Probably with a ranking with records, more like typical shoot'em'up arcades.
tardy arch
you mean convert to gold bp right? cause you can already craft purples.
ornate basin
I think someone has suggested something like that
yes
ive been going at hardmode in jp (which is limited to 3 tries a day) and its taking a lot longer than I really expected to actually get a drop
naive cobalt
(I actually just recently discovered that we, in fact, cannot convert purples to golds and was surprised)
tardy arch
lol.
how would you even get rankings for an "endless" mode? it's endless.
ornate basin
(I have like 0 golds on jp and 9000 purples )
tardy arch
you can buy gold bp in the exchange shop as well. (when they appear that is)
naive cobalt
@eternal prism That would be new game mode and I don't think we can suggest those, at least for now.
eternal prism
ok, thanks Restart 
neon kite
@tardy arch score based on how many enemies you've killed or time survived for instance. Just like retro games
tardy arch
ok. i can see endless getting really boring for people going for top rank cause then you'd have to stay alive for a really really long time.
naive cobalt
yea, that's what I mean
Shame I can't add it (it would be useless), because I like the idea
velvet adder
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/List_of_Destroyer_Guns
Would it be possible to reduce/remove the "Absolute cooldown" of the DD/CL (0.26s/0.28s respectively) guns? The faster firing guns are pretty much useless [in terms of damage] because of this inconvenience.
Also have BB guns' reload timers start after the first volley.
minor robin
err wrong channel?
naive cobalt
And about your suggestion - I don't know enough about the actual mechanics, so I'll leave someone else to comment on that and base from there add it or no
minor robin
we don't exactly use high rof guns for damage and it should stay that way
the high rof guns are for those who want to spam barrages or skills which are main gun fire based
like ayanami and yuudachi
or really most IJN DDs since they have laughable FP and efficiency to begin with
buffing them might make the already mostly great if not broken bunch needlessly more broken by giving them damage outside of their torps
or it could be the reverse and have no noticeable effect, and simply be a better twin 100 which would give z23 and eld quite the buff
i can't really make too much points since my knowledge isn't too great per say either
nonetheless, i believe @low stump and @velvet adder are more suited for this discussion
low stump
The absolute cooldown on DD/CL guns is fine as is as, what was mentioned above, you don't use high RoF guns for damage. It is all about abusing that barrage. There are other DD guns that fit the criteria for dealing damage if you feel the need for that. And well, for CL guns, it is less of how fast they can output it and how good in general the guns can deal damage. Finally, BBs do begin reloading after they fire their main gun.
Maybe some microseconds of delay, but it isn't like they wait till the last volley to begin reloading.
daring breach
please no, not a day with half oil. it would feel AWFUL because people would be forced to grind the shit outta that day and promote people to binge play instead of playing casually
tardy arch
what? no ones forcing you do that.
daring breach
theres an incentive to do that is my point
tardy arch
ok. doesn't mean you have to act on it and no one is forcing you to.
daring breach
like the optimum strategy for events would be to stock up to oil cap, then absolutely crash on that day
tardy arch
or is free will not a thing anymore?
daring breach
people compare their performance to others unforuntately
and there WILL be people that stock to oilcap then absoultuey spend all day farming on the discount days, which isnst behaviour u want to promote
tardy arch
that's on them and that's not the games fault.
daring breach
we have dailies to make people play everyday though
tardy arch
the most i'm incentivized to do is login to get a free reward and that's it.
daring breach
if theres a day every week where oil is half off, then most people arent going to do anything during the rest of the week and burn out on one day
ornate basin
lowkey I would do that
and do the bare minimum every other day
that really does promote bad habits
tardy arch
ok so we've established free will is no longer a thing got it. 
ornate basin
we never said anyone is forcing anyone to do something
drowsy fiber
They're not saying free will isn't a thing, only that having a day with half oil consumption basically incites people to play more on that day
tardy arch
. it would feel AWFUL because people would be forced to grind the shit outta that day
drowsy fiber
Bad phrasing I assume
ornate basin
for the greater benefits
daring breach
we're talking about incentives. and making people feel good with their choices than feel obligated/forced to play because they would be missing out
not forced, but compelled would be a better word choice
sorry
ornate basin
theres probably a good amount of people who would call it unfair if life is busy for them that day
tardy arch
again the only thing i'm incentivized to do is log in each day for a free reward. i don't have to do anything else if i don't want. i skip hard mode most days and i decided to not do yesterdays daily either.
tardy arch
did i miss out? yes. do i care? no.
drowsy fiber
Dense
ornate basin
cannot speak for everyone but there is already a large base of people who care about their oil usage on this server alone
daring breach
im confused. that means u have a surplus of oil then. if ur not hurting for oil, then why would a half-oil day be great for you?
drowsy fiber
I don't think we're supposed to ramble this much in the feedback chat
daring breach
to be fair it is the feedback forum lol
ornate basin
I wouldnโt call this rambling
drowsy fiber
Arguing then?
ornate basin
but more constructive criticism
daring breach
here to debate the merits of suggestions
ornate basin
no
tardy arch
ik what you're saying but it's up to the individual person to decide to skip things like dailies and such. if they miss a half oil day (not that it'll ever happen) they can just stock up again until next time if they want. it's up to them to have self control not the game.
ornate basin
silly if this is like arguing
daring breach
people can and will miss half oil days
i work 5-6x a week, come home late, leaves me like maybe 1-2 hours for grinding
so most people with jobs would feel this is unfair
personally im not the type to grind but it just makes people feel awful for missing out
atm for dailies we have (6x HM, A1-B3 3x rewarwds, 3x daily, 15x PvP) for "dailies"
a better suggestion would be to just give people free oil that expires at the end of the week
so people can grind on their own time if you feel that people aren't playing enough.
its the same as "half off" oil but promotes non-binge gameplay
tardy arch
that would just promote the same bad habit just over a stretched out period of time. and if it expires at the end of the week when does it refill? the next day? if so why not just grind past midnight to spend the rest of the "free oil" and get a head start on the next week?
daring breach
because theres no incentive to spend all the oil in a day
tardy arch
no but there's still incentive to spend it asap.
daring breach
no there isnt
tardy arch
since it has a timer on it.
daring breach
ur incentivized to spend it in a week
which means u can plan out your days accordingly
20 mins per day, 10 mins per day, etc.
tardy arch
if you still have oil left over at the end of the week and the refill happens then you've lost out on the time you could have spent grinding. so why not try to spend as much as you can in one go? say past midnight?
daring breach
i dont do my dailies and hm when they come up
i do them when i get off work
and i dont miss out on anthing
im confused here lol
if they give out free oil then i allocate 10 extra mins every day to farm it ouut
half-oil days u dont have that discretion
tardy arch
well you're the one who brought up the idea.
weekly "free oil" would have the same issue as the half oil day. just stretched out over a week.
daring breach
no i wasnt
im against the half oil idea or free oil
im just saying weekly free oil would be better and even then i think its not that great
im confused because u seemed to be against the idea then changed midway
LightFireToday at 8:40 AM
wait what would giving them your uid do? and ya that would shatter the games balance into infinitesimal pieces.
tardy arch
same.
k so let me put it into perspective.
half oil day: try to spend as much as you can in a day.
weekly free oil: try to spend as much as you can in a week before it refills.
same issue it's just spread out.
tardy arch
still promotes bad habits.
daring breach
THATS MY POINT
i dont agree with EITHER, but the 2nd is vastly superior
at least it doesnt promote binge habits
tardy arch
it still does but on the day of the refill.
daring breach
NO
they g ive u 2k free oil to spend in a week
u can measure it out, 300 oil per day
"not that bad"
half oil day? = not playing every other day, binge playing on that day
i mean we currently have the system right now. u arent forced to do your weeklies in a day even if u can
either way i think the oil system in this game is fine, im just confused since u seemed against it but now ur arguing for it
tardy arch
i'm not. like i said the half oil day would shatter the games balance. the weekly oil would still ruin it but not as much. either way they're bad ideas.
tardy arch
i've said nothing positive about either of those ideas so idk how you got that i was arguing for it.
devils advocate.
also it's interesting to think ideas like this through to see how they would effect the game.
really the only upside to the ideas are that you'd have more oil to spend. and it's not like we get plenty already.
daring breach
u were arguing about free will and people having the idea to choose. implying that the idea would be fine since no one would be forced to participate in half oil days.
and yeah that was my point... theres already a surplus of oil in this game.
tardy arch
yes i was cause you said the game would be "forcing" people to play. implying they have no free will of their own.
daring breach
u know very well that it means promoting bad habits/binge playing
"forced" in that sense
of course u can choose to not play, and i gave u lots of reasons why people would be upset about it, and the idea would cause more problems than it solves
basically itd fuck over all of us who have families and cant afford to binge play lol
but anyway we both seem to agree on the same principles so no real need to argue anymore
tardy arch
ik what you meant. so why'd i go with it? like i said: devils advocate. (that and i've heard to many people say they're being "forced" to play a game seriously as if they have no other option.)
even if we do it's still interesting to think about things like this.
tardy arch
k.
daring breach
i think the game should maybe increase oil usage but make the rewards a lot better imo.
so increased oil usage across all ships but rewards would be scaled accordingly.
cut down some of the tedium
tardy arch
but if you do that then why change anything? they'd still have the same drop rates in the end.
tardy arch
increased oil usage
increased reward
increased drop rates across all things
nothing would be different except the number would be bigger.
daring breach
saving time
i mentioned cutting down the tedium lol
u said that u dont feel hard mode is worth your time, so if they made the rewards better and cut down the runs u would play, no?
and ur sitting on a surplus of oil
tardy arch
ok.
oil usage: 40 oil usage after change: 70
reward drops: SSR 5%, gun bp: 10% reward drops after change: SSR 15%, gun bp: 20%
see?
tardy arch
nothing would actually change.
daring breach
less grinding is my point
o_O
instead of spending 2 hours grinding, u spend an hour, for example
if u spend all ur oil the net benefits are ezro
tardy arch
if you want less grinding then only the item/ship drop rate would need to be increased. if you also increase the oil cost then nothing truly changed.
daring breach
.... what?
if u get the f6u gold in 50 runs instead of 100, thats less grinding for the same oil spent
tardy arch
but you have to take into account all the other items that'd get a % increase as well. meaning you'd still have the same chance to get the f6u after the change.
daring breach
?
the F4U drop rate gets doubled
to compensate for the increased oil costs
all my change does is make hte process faster, you dont gain anything if u spend all your oil
tardy arch
ok so. f6u: 5% other items: 10%, 15%, 12%, etc. f6u after change: 10% other items after change: 20%, 25%, 22%, etc. see how nothing really changes?
daring breach
it does?
im confused what u mean here
if u do 100 runs, with normal oil, you'll get 5 bps
if you do 50 runs, with doubled rewards, you still get 5bps
tardy arch
yes. cause you're not taking into account everyt other item that would also get a % increase.
daring breach
so in the end ur chance of an item increases
not the chance of getting an f6u
that isnt affected
the F6U still comes out the same no matter the oil usage
F
tardy arch
yes cause nothing really changes. how would that help make grinding better?
daring breach
because ur spending less tsime
to get the same rewards
thats my whole intention lol
50 runs is a LOT of time, thatss about 250 sorties
tardy arch
no you'd be spending the same amount of time.
100 runs: 5bps
100 runs after change: 5 bps.
why? cause every thing else also gets an increase thus you still have the same exact change to get one as you did before the change.
daring breach
?
its 50 runs to get 5 bps after the change
ur bp chance doubled
and ur runs got cut
tardy arch
no it's not. i'm telling you you're not taking into account that everything else would need to be increased as well not just the bp's.
daring breach
YES but those items DO NOT replace the bp
and 10% bp is still 10% BP ๐ค
10% F6U BP = 10% chance to pull F6U
5% F6U BP = 5% chance to puill F6U
50 runs at 10% chance = 5 BPS
100 runs at 5% chance = 5 BPs
tardy arch
100 runs and you have a 1/100 chance to get insert item name here
100 runs after change and you'd still have a 1/100 chance to get the same item cause everything else scaled with said item.
daring breach
thats not how math works
10% BP chance is 10% BP chance
40% chance of equip plate, 50% chance of gear box, 20% chance of R ship has no bearing on the F6U drop rate
tardy arch
but you're forgetting the others. k say you have 3 gun bp's you can get. they're at 10%, 20%, and 30%. if you increase all of the %'s (so 20%, 30%, 40%) you still have the exact same chance to get the 20% drop as you did when it was a 10% drop.
daring breach
first, there are two things to consider
10%, 20%, 30%
double that, and it becomes
20, 40, 60
your chances of getting either didnt decrease, ur chances just increased of getting any of those oeverall
so if u did 100 runs u would get
20, 40, and 60, bps respectively
thats how math works
tardy arch
the chance to get them stays the same. it only appears to be an increase because the numbers are bigger. when in reality you'd still most likely get the 30% (60%) item rather than the 10% (20%)
daring breach
ur assuming that getting item A means not getting item B, and u havent considered the fact that the chances of getting something increased over the chances of getting nothing
tardy arch
if you really want to increase the chance of getting the 10% (20%) item then you'd need to increase the 10% (20%) to a 30% (60%)
so it would be 30% (60%) 20% (40%) 30% (60%)
daring breach
in any case, u would agree that u can adjust the reward rate to make u end up with the same rewards
tardy arch
nothing actually changes if you do a double increase globaly. you'd have to hand pick items so there's an actual change.
daring breach
well it does but we're arguing semantics i thinbk
in any case u can adjust the rewards
to be the same for the same oil cost
the math the devs can figure out
tardy arch
(i don't like math for this very reason. my head is starting to hurt now.)
daring breach
well the idea is
costlier runs
but better rewards
= less time spent spamming the shit out of sortie and waiting
so instead of 100 runs efveryday u do 50 and use that extra 50 to buy ur wife flowers
i dont know the exact breakpoints to make it the same but atm bps are grindy but oil expenditures are also pretty low
tardy arch
but you still have the same chance to get those rewards as you did before the change. so in the end you'd still have to do 100 runs to get those 5bp's after the change.
daring breach
the devs can change the reward structures o u get the bp in 50 runs instead of 100
tardy arch
but then the other rewards wouldn't be increased. only the bp's would get an increase.
daring breach
nah because u can get gold and ship bp in the same clear
the onyl thing that needs changed is shared loot tables
which is part of the dev tinkering
i forgot whether getting a gold BP locks you out of getting a purple BP, but the devs can easily set them to be indepdent variables that have no influence on the other
so 100% gold BP rate and 100% purple bp rate means u get both of them in the same run
tardy arch
you only get 1 bp type per stage.
daring breach
yeah
u mnetioned HM and u not bvothering to do it
so if they made the reward higher % to get the gold
maybe it would be worth it?
in exchange, higher oil cost
tardy arch
no cause the gold bp's only come into play at the end of a retrofit and usually you only need 1-2 of them. you need mostly blue and purple bp's for the retrofits. and i never said it wasn't worth it i just don't do them sometimes. :P
daring breach
the gold BPs are the limitation tho
i dont have enough
for the starters
ihave like
hundrdes of blues and purples
tardy arch
even if you increase the bp drop rates of all 3 you'd still mostly be getting blues and purples. again it's just an illusion cause the numbers are bigger. nothing has actually changed.
daring breach
no because they can adjust it to be indepdent variables
so u can get a blue bp and a gold bp in the same run
part of the dev tinkering
and theres also the issue in normal campaigns where u arent guaranteed an item at all
so u would have a better chance of getting an item vs nothing at all
tardy arch
in HM only the boss node drops bp's and you only get 1 bp type. gold would still have the lowest % to get if the other 2 are increased as well. meaning nothing has changed
daring breach
thats why i said make the drops inpedenent
blue dropping can mean the purple dropping
u can get all 3 to drop in a run if lucky
tardy arch
? no you can't.
daring breach
5kapologemsoriquitf2pbtwToday at 6:37 PM
thats why i said make the drops inpedenent
tardy arch
none of the trash nodes give you bp's only the boss node does.
daring breach
i know that
and in the boss node
5kapologemsoriquitf2pbtwToday at 6:37 PM
thats why i said make the drops inpedenent
meaning a blue drop doesnt lock you out of the gold drop
tardy arch
so your saying change the 1 type drop from a boss to a 2 types drop from a boss?
daring breach
no, to a chance of multiple drops
the only thing guaarnateed is the blue as usual
make it 2, since oil costs got doubled
2 blue, doubled chance of purple, doubled chance of gold
tardy arch
so then yes. you'd be getting 2 types from a boss instead of 1. you're not arguing for percentages you're arguing so it'll give you another type.
daring breach
the percentages are for campaign
where u arent even guaranteed
a blueprint
or any drop
tardy arch
you don't get ship bp's from the campaign
daring breach
and thus it woudl be better to get a drop over no drop at all
u get equip bps
item box
not guaranteed
tardy arch
so you're asking for a guarantee and a random higher tier drop along with it.
that's busted.
daring breach
not guaranteed
doubled chance
in the end, as long as 8k oil gives u the same rewards as the previous strcutre nothing has changed
but u get more time for ur wife
befause u dont need to spend 50 extra runs sortieing
= 250 times pressing the button and waiting for 30s
they will need to tinker with the drop structure so that the increased chance of a blue doesnt lock you out of the chance for a purple or gold, hence the need for independent drops/variables
tardy arch
ok i get what you mean now. this whole time i thought you were asking for a % increase for all items which would change nothing. you're asking for a higher chance to get the item in the first place instead.
daring breach
yeah u double the chance to get all items but i should have mentioned the shared loot table thing earlier
and for stuff thats already guaranteed, like blues, u get two instead of one
tardy arch
my head hurts a lot less now cause i can stop crunching percentages. 
daring breach
i hate math thats why i run all ssr comps 
but the one thing
thjey sohuld absolutely fix
is the gold bp issue for retrofits
my friend has retroed all his starters and meanwhile i cant even retro 2
because he has amazing rng on his HM
tardy arch
i have no such issue with gold bp's. you can get them from HM and the exchange shop.
tardy arch
what world?
daring breach
u cant make up for it because HM is locked
but the one thing
thjey sohuld absolutely fix
is the gold bp issue for retrofits
my friend has retroed all his starters and meanwhile i cant even retro 2
because he has amazing rng on his HM
nothign to do with equipment bp
i got him beat there lol
tardy arch
if you've been doing say world 2 and 3 you'll have a lower chance of getting the golds. world 5 is where you want to grind HM.
daring breach
i only do highest world
tardy arch
(and world 6 when it releases)
daring breach
its just that the chance for a gold is very low
i havent gotten one in weeks
and i need 10 of those for laffey
tardy arch
10 gold bp for laffey?
daring breach
brb
tardy arch
like i said you only need 1-2 for the modernization. (in this case 3)
daring breach
u cant do the modernizsationwithout other nodes tho
tardy arch
well 9 in total actually.
tardy arch
so you haven't been getting any golds at all? not just the specific ones you need right?
tardy arch
are you farming 5-1? cause that's where you get them.
daring breach
of course
im not a casual lol
my friend has bettter luck thats all
hes got 2 gold retro bps in one day >_>
tardy arch
lol. that's some really bad rng. did you clear out the FW exchange shop already? ik they have some in there.
daring breach
yes i did
tardy arch
oof
olive wadi
This isn't even feedback anymore..
tardy arch
lol ik.
daring breach
i guess lol, sorry
yeah the fW exchange is a godsend, i have enough for a starter thx to it
actually it is a suggestion, gold bps should be buffed
the proposal being making it based on total runs (exp sort of system), instead of RNG bonanza
tardy arch
but wouldn't you get diminishing returns if it's based on runs? unless you mean you get more the more runs you make.
daring breach
huh?
no it just means that if u do 20 HM runs in total u get a guarnateed gold BP or something
like a weekly sort of thing
numbers can be adjusted
tardy arch
as xp is now the higher the level the less xp you get from running the same map. thus diminishing returns.
daring breach
not EXP, i was thinking too much about PR system
more like a weekly thing i guess
or monthly even
if u do 50 HM runs youo'll get a guarnateed gold BP
im not sure on the exact #
tardy arch
so like a monthly mission?
daring breach
yeah
anything t hat would get rid of the RNG
for HM at least , idont think its that fair since i want to retro the starters but i cant and i have to pray
tardy arch
i could see them doing something like that. it wouldn't get rid of rng but it would elevate some anger.
daring breach
and im not sure whether its going to be a month or 2 months of grinding
or 3 months >_>
all RNG lol
tardy arch
but uh... the gold bp reward would need to be randomized or in some sort of cycle.
olive wadi
Playing a game all about RNG and grinding. Then asking to get rid of the RNG and grinding.
daring breach
farveil
this is mainly for HM
those are locked and u cant mitigate that in any way
i have a few friends who have all 3 starters retro'ed and some with only 1
and they cant do anything about it. at all.
for the other things u can grind the shit outta it, nmp
tardy arch
he's asking for a guaranteed HM gold bp (randomized or on a cycle) as a montly mission reward for doing HM.
neon kite
I think later worlds will remedy the problem with increased drop rate so it isn't that much of a problem
daring breach
yeah, hopefully
but we arent getting hm 6 yet
still hm5 >_>
im just going to pray and be salty
olive wadi
We get six on the 15th.
neon kite
In the meanwhile, u can save medals for gold bp whenever they appear on exchange
daring breach
we get 9th NM on the 15th
i am already doing what i can for gold BPs :P
im just sasying this would be more equitable for people in general
HM being locked and non-grindable
neon kite
as long as u keep playing, you'll get it all anyway. A little bit of rng helps keep the game alive. Make the game too easy without grind and effort and ppl will quickly lose interest when they are done with all content
daring breach
this is more for equity for players and im considering the new player situation thing as well
if ur new, u have zero gold bps stocked up, so its a crapshoot when you'll get laffey retroed
cant pay more, cant grind more, can only pray more
neon kite
you can't cater to all players, it's not the devs fault people play the game later. I don't go complain that I'm missing this and that when I start playing a new game late
olive wadi
Ah, you're right . I thought we got both. Anyway, I leave my side of this feedback.
We have plenty of missions that give gold blueprints and the whole point is for them to be hard to get. Since they are used mainly on very good ships.
You need to work for those.
daring breach
@olive wadi they should be hard to get. i agree with that. just not RNG.
the missions are great ways to get gold bps i agree
in the end theres a sense of achivement for "grinding out" the BP, without the aggravating nature of "fucking 2 weeks and no gold bp" feelings
i hear that everyday from my friends :P
neon kite
No point complaining about it anyway, they won't change anything as later worlds will lessen the rng anyway
daring breach
they changed a few things based on feedback and its still worth to give input
also jp players are still complaining about sandy bp
so it still a releveant matter
neon kite
I also keep a spreadsheet on hard mode blueprint drop rates. Got a sample size of 247 runs in world 5 and gold bp droprate seems to be at ~7% (not reliable since sample size still small). Which isn't all too bad tbh
daring breach
im mainly arguing about the RNG aspect of it, and outliers will feel super bad
most people wiwll find it okay, outliers with bad rng will feel awful
hence my proposal to make it ti me-based instead
like akagi/kaga grind, shits awful for new players because of the RNG aspect
imagine if it was guaranteed after 600 runs, people would feel a lot better
neon kite
also u already get a gold bp by doing ur weeklies
daring breach
its an RNG gold BP that may or may not go toward destroyers/cruiesrs
hence my problem with RNG
neon kite
asking for more on top of exchange and hard mode drops will just make the grind too easy.
daring breach
im not asking for more bps im asking for a more consistent and farirer way to distribute them
making the gold bp after X runs would feel infinitely better than praying and the amount of gold BPs would still even out to be the same while having less outliers
olive wadi
We've all given our feedback on the matter and the reasons why we think it is/isn't a good idea.
At this point we're talking in circles. The dev will get the idea. Let them hash it out for themselves. They knoww better than anyone what th future balance of the game will be.
daring breach
valid, but every feedback counts.
devs have been shown to care more depending on the volume/severity of complaints
cursor issue got fixed in a day
meanwhile some skins are still bugged on the story, which probably wont be fixed
because they probably forgot about it/not enough people complaining
neon kite
afaik devs don't read this channel, so further discussion isn't really needed as everything has already been said
daring breach
right but its a feedback channel not a one and done thing
its here to express opinions about the game which i think everyone is entitled to
so if a lot of people feel strongly about it then they're entitled to voice their opinion about it
otherwise we wont know the severity of the issue and how many ppl it affects
neon kite
I'm not saying you shouldn't voice your opinion. Just wait for Restart to add your suggestion if u had a proper one and then be patient and see if they do anything about it.
daring breach
im fairly sure that the feedback here gets compiled by restart, which he sends to azur lane.
which brings another can of worms, what determines what gets put on the feedback form?
its a subjective process
neon kite
subjective or not, they gave him the task and that's the process
daring breach
right, and here i am voicing that opinion
neon kite
so am I ๐ค
olive wadi
Restart puts everything that hasn't been already denied in the form. Even if he doesn't like it.
daring breach
- you wouldnt know what hasnt been included.
- the form doesnt show how many people are affected by this issue, nor how strongly
- feedback is feedback. if u state "i dont enjoy the game" thats not really a suggestion to put on the comment form lol
olive wadi
Anybody can check the feedback form and if you really wan to know why something i/isn't included you can ask Restart yourself.
daring breach
of course anyone can check the feedback form. but u can tell that not every opinion is included in there and that its compiled for one person, which of course brings subjectivity into account
and thats why we leave feedback here
so to shut feedback down saying "its been discussed already" underplays the severity of the problem and also refuses any more discussion or new viewpoints
for example, i feel very strongly about X's suggestion and want to add my support for it. but how? feedback form limits comments to one person. so the devs wouldnt know if its desired by most people or not.
rocky monolith
A way to give certain feedback, especially on the form with the number of people who want it would be pretty neat.
daring breach
Also, what if I think the idea of converting purple Bulins to gold is awful?
would restart put that in the comment form as well?
olive wadi
I'm not saying others can't bring up the blueprint issue. Im saying we have already stated or views and having the same small group keep complainin doesn't show severity, having many different people complain shows severity. You have given your feedback. If otherzz feel the same, they will speak up as well.
However, our turn is over. We have said what needed to be said. Time to move on.
daring breach
having same group complaining does do something, thats the whole point of protests >_> and im not even complaining constantly its the first time i brought it up lol
because if someone constantly complains about an issue then its obvious its affecting them to a large degree, which the devs should take note
otherwise u could have just shut do wn the cursor issue with
"its been discussed already"
but instead there weas a bunch of complaining literally everywhere and it got changed in a day
same thing with merit issue, they hotfixed acted on that so fast (although they didnt fix it really)
rare jay
The merit isn't a good example b/c that was caused by people exploiting the game. Not someone's opinion on the game
olive wadi
Exactly a very large portion of people complained very quickly. Not one person who won't let it rest.
daring breach
basically if someone feels strongly about a subject
they will speak out
dont try to shut them down
im sure the gold bp thing was brought up but we dont know how many people feel about it
also the feedback form doesnt allow u to rebuke suggestions that u disagree with
so we have no clue whether its one person or 1000 people that want it
and its the first time i discussed the gold bp problem, and ive made my points
feel free to disagree but dont shut it down with "its been discussed already"
i'll just send my feedback to the devs directly next time then tbh
olive wadi
Hold on, I think there was a miscommunication. I agree that you made good points. Even if I don't agree with the idea, it is valid feedback that should be added if it hasn't already or if Yostar hasn't denied it.
It is also good that you and others had a discussion in the matter where you brought up points to back your idea.
Mu point is that it became a circular converation that was only spamming this section with the same points over and over. Restart and the Mods will read this and having the same people repeating the same points won't really help.
All I'm saying is that you have given your feedback and have made good points. So, there's no need to continue.
velvet adder

Dear Devs
About your plans for the next retrofit ship, you better delay the retrofit of destroyers with the exception of Crescent, Comet, Cassin, Downes and Shiranui
Because releasing all retrofit starters is beyond overkill of wasting Gold Destroyer blueprints
Not everyone has high luck of getting Gold Destroyer blueprints.
tardy arch
you need gold bp for any retrofit not just the starters. delaying the starters won't do anything but piss people off. they've been asking for them for a while now. and bad rng is bad rng. you can't do anything about it.
minor robin
Correction to both your points. Retrofits for commons do not use any gold BP. Rares use 1, elites 10, SRs 20. There is absolutely no issue with them releasing it sooner.
The demand for starter retrofit has been huge yes, hence this result. In no way are you obliged to retrofit all of them immediately. You can do it at your own sweet time
If we had done like other servers, we'll get people complaining "Why did they release this starter retrofit first? Are they biased towards it?" And that's another bigger can of worms.
We already have the liberty of knowing what retrofits there are and the ability to plan for them way way in advance. If you didn't plan ahead then well too bad. And if you did and still don't have enough well suck it up. At least you have a choice of what you want to raise anyways.
@outer grove @tardy arch
@velvet adder we are not taking requests for new skins or ships.

That's a matter of not building heavy so much
rose prism
Does happen in the all-in-one mix of banners, tho.
Before more obvious statements come, rng is not about magic numbers; they're ruled by algorithms, and algorithms can be improved; hence my feedback.
minor robin
Well, i haven't seen a Nevada or Oklaholma in ages, all i get is pensacola and shropshire more than anything else
So yeah i don't think the algorithm has a problem here
And most limited banners are heavy. If you built the VDIR banner you'll be rolling in bogue or langley instead
The same will happen for the next banner
It's anecdotal really, nothing much for the algorithm to be improved
naive cobalt
Can you not have here 200+ messages of discussing suggestion that WAS REJECTED?! (it took only 100+, rest is different one )
If you want to have casual chat - go to #460643534685470730
Not here
And now I have to read everything just in case there were actual suggestions somewhere
so no point in shutting down discussion point in shutting down discussion is that I CAN'T EVEN FIND WHAT WAS THE SUGGESTION.
for example, i feel very strongly about X's suggestion and want to add my support for it. but how? feedback form limits comments to one person. so the devs wouldnt know if its desired by most people or not. it's not a voting process. if trully a lot of people complain about something I might bump up importance rating, but that's it. list of suggestions just to give devs ideas, not to "request" something of them, support for idea is irrelevant, unless you can come up with arguments for a rejected idea.
so increased oil usage across all ships but rewards would be scaled accordingly.``` It would heavily incentivize low cost fleets while punishing people who're using high-cost fleets. ~~and I'm not reading all of the 300+ messages of your discussion, so give me tl;dr~~ I read and haven't seen any points but "It would cut down the grind", which is intentional, so I won't add it.and about "subjectivity" - for example, as a person who doesn't grind much and always over the oil limit - I really like this idea. But at the same time I don't think it would do good and dev team wouldn't even consider this because it changes game's balance too much
naive cobalt
And I think there was a suggestion to make gold BPs less RNG dependent and more of a reward for missions or something?
This is a good idea that I will most certainly add.
minor robin
yes, like a weekly to complete after x number of hard mode
naive cobalt
If I manage to find actual message
minor robin
doesn't have to be a weekly but well
naive cobalt
And about whole "feedback/discussion/suggestion" thing - while feedback is part of this channel - try to contain it so it won't take 300+ messages making channel unusable. And yes, devs don't read this chat, so unless your feedback is something that can be summarized and put into google doc - it would be just a rant. As I stated earlier - this is not a popularity contest, so you just "disagreeing" with a suggestion after it was added or wanting to support another one is irrelevant. When dev team would look at those - they would judge suggestions by their own merits and benefits to the game as well as feasibility and being in line with theirs game design. Bringing popularity in this is actually counter-productive.
@daring breach
daring breach
sorry bro, mb
naive cobalt
And I think something to that extent was told - no, I don't contact devs about anything, only put things in the doc.

Had a look through the sheet and didnโt find anything about this.
Can there please be some kind of set rotation in the SR medal exchange instead of pure RNG? With a 2 week rotation and such a small pool it stops being fun and starts becoming annoying very quickly for people when some ships donโt ever appear but you get two of others. If you want to keep some RNG in it make is so once it appears it cannot appear again until ALL other SR ships have appeared.
From
Annoyed Avrora player
minor robin
I mean I'm annoyed too after still not getting enty after 2.5 months (got all other SRs from build save hood at least 2x)
Nonetheless I feel it's a valid suggestion
Though I strongly doubt that it'll be accepted by the devs
nocturne ferry
Yeh iโve seen that, but this is feedback
plus i believe that comment was referencing that they cannot change it manually, while my suggestion is to change the underlying code
naive cobalt
that's not really how shuffle works, but sure
nocturne ferry
the basic idea is that its RNG from the list, once it appears it is removed from the list
when the list is empty repopulate it
naive cobalt
I get the idea, but with comment about inability to change random medal exchange and the fact how hard it will be to "change underlying code" I'm really hesitant to add the suggestion that almost certainly will be denied
nocturne ferry
Except iโm pretty sure the comment was that they cannot change it manually, not referring to the actual code

restart, i know it was mentioned to reduce chance of getting dupes sr in exchange. I wonder if it can be asked instead of reduce chance is to basically have an elimination cycle. Like say all the SRs are available, then after we get one on exchange its removed from the pool of choices until it eventually clears the whole SR list then we have another rotation so we dont get dupes.
I know its a long shot since its already coded to be random but...
just wanna ask

Guys. I was thinking of a way helping ppl trying to farm SR. (3-4; 6-4 and 8-4).
Well let's say Akagi's drop rate is 1%. Let's say everytime you clear the boss a 0,05% is added to her drop rate ( or you guys can change it, just an example ) so, those that are farming them a lot can still have a chance. After getting Akagi, it can just be reverted back to it's original number.

Some translations need redo, like Washington's log in, and Hornet's receiving lines, basically what they say doesn't match what it's translated

Can we get a filter in storage so it can show equipped items as well? It would be nice to be able to see all the equipments that u possess all at once
naive cobalt
That's UI
And suggested
I don't see how Wash's log in is any different from what she says
Small insignificant differences are allowed.
And Hornet's is intentional joke/reference/whatever you want to call it
In CBT translation her name was translated accidentally as "Big Wasp" in one of the cutscenes, so they made reference to that.
neon kite
I looked through the spreadsheet but couldn't find the suggestion
Also it seems like a pretty basic feature so that's why I suggested it anyway despite falling into UI category
naive cobalt
I mean, I won't add it and even if I did - it would be ignored, so literally no point

yea I know, just saying haha
neon kite
I used the keyword "storage" to search 
guess that's why i didnt find it haha

@torpid spire It was suggested for event's gacha, but I can't see it happening for farmable ships ever. Basically those are "free" SR ships (and actually really good at that, at least Akaga is) which you can get without dealing with gacha, cubes and things like these. Instead you pay in oil and your time. And 1.5% is really generous for free T0 SRs, so I see even less reasons to mess with this
Well let's say Akagi's drop rate is 1% And her droprate is actually .75%
torpid spire
Yeah well was just a example. Thanks for the info tho, didn't knew it.

Nightly comissions being set to appear at around 10pm for each time zone, so that if someone in a timezone where currently it would appear at midnight would get them at a more reasonable time. 10pm is a time people tend to go to sleep around, so getting them at that time players could send them off and then go to sleep instead of staying awake until way later for them.
ornate basin
comission suggestions are always shot down
ones about local times arent being taken are they?
tardy arch
"for each timezone" AL servers don't have individual time zones. it's all one timezone and that timezone is PST.
and changing it to 10pm would still mean other regions would get them at odd hours. EU for instance would get them at 6am.
minor robin
The devs have mentioned it is impossible to set individual times to different timezones
and there have been many many suggestions about commissions
this one is far from being feasible, since you'd have to change the very way the commissions work

It would be nice if BV retrofits didn't lose the ability to equip auxillary guns, and only strictly gained the ability to use planes instead. It would make getting the retrofit skin for Yamashiro not be a strict downgrade without having to rebalance it.

What if they give an opcion to get a list of shipgirls only for commisions. Then when you press adive they choose from your list and not from all of them. Becouse there are some ships you don't wat to lvl up.
drowsy fiber
Not really any need for that as you can chose them manually
balmy rover
But it gets annoyng doing it 10 time a day
drowsy fiber
Wait til you get 4 fleets
Also there's currently a suggestion to have it be selectable the same way as the dorm
balmy rover
I have 4 fleets
drowsy fiber
And they're more likely to do that than add a list for advice
balmy rover
Well, still better than manaly
drowsy fiber
I assumed you meant selecting 10 ships, sorry
It would be easier to make it like dorm however
Since they already have the "plan" for it
balmy rover
Yes, you are right in that
drowsy fiber
And when you're developing games, unless you REALLY want an exact thing to be that way, you'll cut down on time wherever you need
And tbh I feel like the dorm select would be better than a list advice picks from
Sorry for rambling

Also there's currently a suggestion to have it be selectable the same way as the dorm It is same way as dorms tho
balmy rover
Yhea. Becouse if you are lvling someone, you will select it always

@naive cobalt and i think he means that it always remains selected

nah, they thought about selecting multiples at the same time

Well, same idea.the charactes for commisions are always waiting for 1 tap

So if we leave the 2ndary gun in, do we leave it as a 2ndary gun slot or a plane slot? If we were to leave it as a plane slot, the secondary gun would be as good as a torp CL/CA 2ndary gun ( stock equip which they will always fire)
Which is still useless when dealing with suicide boats. Leaving the 2ndary gun in place of the plane would just defeat the purpose of making them BBV.
We've discussed this many many times.
The best way to fix yama/Fusou Kai is not covering for their weaknesses they gain but maximising the strengths they gain. I.e Hyuuga Kai close ranged barrage or ise kai good planes with aviation buff. We've already compiled a list of feasible solutions prior to this.
And in any case, yama Kai for one has been out for over a year without being fixed. So it's unlikely the devs will take note.

uh.. ok.. i knew it was a bad idea to retro them that is why i leveled a new set.. but i am confused with futsou variant and yasmashrio vereant, they overall underperform thier base, even if thier base was without the bonus, so to get the most out of yamashiro/fusou, it would be fill the retro graph cept the final moderniation node, was this really intended for a moderniation to make ships underperform thier base counterparts?
at the very least can we still pick plane/ gun for the second slot?
(ofc that would defeat the purpose of me leveling the second set but still, dispointed in the result of thier retro)
lone glacier
It's a fix that takes no effort because if the devs really don't care they won't do much more than that.

Suggestion: mage a quest with reward to bind your account to twitter or facebook, since new people won't think it's important since they have nothing to lose, and after playing for a while you forget that it's a thing
ornate basin
it was
and it was even suggested for the tutorial
(they should do tutorial as it makes it harder for people to do rerolling because they refuse that its a bad idea)

I checked the list quickly, but the search feature was not working

@winter escarp
BBV in real life were not upgrades but side grades, made only as a result of Japan losing 4 of their carriers in the Battle of Midway. They lost a few of their guns and gained a catapult to launch planes along with a launch deck.
Hence for AL, they mostly likely intended for it or be a side grade, not a downgrade. However they clearly learnt from their mistake. Hence the reason ise and hyuuga Kai are still fine.
And no, toggling is not a feasible solution unless you force them to remain as BBV. The loss of the secondary gun is not the problem here. It's their retro skill and their planes that need to be buffed.
winter escarp
well i like something to happen cuz they are pretty useless, and i did level 2 pairs because of this, I was shocked how much weaker they where after the retro in performence game wise, and I did +6 purple plane for both of them in that slot
i do not mind "side grade" i really dont, and with the retro stat improvments, it should have SOMETHING over the base in helping you suceed nodes better, but atm its a complete downgrade
minor robin
It's fine to suggest
Just bear in mind nothing has been done to fix them tho yama kai was first released in September last year

The default commissions cost 0 oil. I was thinking that if we have an auto accept function where the same commission teams will automatically take any available commissions so that people who might be too busy to check their phones can still play as efficiently for those who are dedicated enough. Maybe balance it out where at the end of the day the auto function stops every reset.
fervent musk
seems too op, since people could just activate it once every after reset
naive cobalt
also impossible because different commissions have different requirements
fervent musk
could I suggested to be able to check what items dropped in a map
like a recap of what items you've collected so far
or would that fall into ui suggestions
naive cobalt
you mean like amount of stuff?
fervent musk
no like the different items you've gotten from the fleets you've defeated in the subchapter
fervent musk
the items that dropped so far
like the total items dropped, I can't find a direct explanation lol
well my scenario is that I always speed through the post-battle menu and sometimes don't get to see what important drop I got
so like a button that would show you what you've gotten so far while in the subchapter
so I guess it really would fall into ui suggestions

I didn't see anything like this in the google doc, and I'm sure it is an unpopular opinion, but I'd quite like to see an alternative to promise ring/marriage for the younger/loli characters, such as adoption. I'd like to have Unicorn call me Otลsan, or the Mutsuki girls Papa, as apposed to putting a ring on their finger when they have no idea what it means, or threaten to "report to the admiralty". Long and short, I don't mind if others are lolicons, but I'd like to help my daughterus get the same bonuses as my waifus.

In truth theyโre all LoTR rings which is why they make the ships get stat boosts

You can get a VPN app for your phone

Yeah

search vpn in playstore/appstore and you will find a free one

okay now you all lost me.....
how is that suposed to fix a loading game screen that has been stuck on it for 3 hours?!
velvet adder
raven crater
Because your ISP is probably blocking your device from connecting to Azur Lane
so when you use a VPN, it prevents them from doing that
Or at any rate, that ends up fixing it for a lot of people for whatever reason
velvet adder
Tbh
wide yacht
and you lost me again
raven crater
First, are you in southeast asia?
wide yacht
no
velvet adder
Does Southeast Asia block it or smth
raven crater
I think Indihomie does (Indonesian ISP)
Basically, give it a shot and don't think about it too hard
We recommend it because it works sometimes
you can also try switching from wifi to mobile data and see if that works
or vice versa
(make sure to restart the game completely though when you switch your network)

if this dosent work then ill try tomorrow if it still giving me trouble ill complain to staff and get them to sort this loading game screen thing as its just annoying and angering me right now
raven crater
Staff probably won't be able to help you
well, maybe
but the loading screen issue is just kind of a thing for some people. It's fixed for most people but it's not really clear what causes the problem
which makes it difficult to fix.
wide yacht
all i just wanted to do was collect my cubes,oil and gold and thats all but it seems that it just wants to give me the bird today >_<
raven crater
If it's worked for you in the past, then I really don't know what the problem would be.
At any rate, we should really take this to #tech-support again
winged brook
I had a suggestion. I thought it would be cool if ships had special voice lines during exercises depending on what ships were on the enemy team, similar to how some have lines reacting to other ships in their fleet. Like if you were up against someone with a Unicorn and had Illustrious, she could say something about being hesitant to launch her planes against Unicorn.
naive cobalt
Eh, sure, why not. Can't see it ever being implemented tho.
winged brook
Zuikaku could get her rematch
velvet adder
Did Zuikaku sink at all
winged brook
idk but she has a line about losing to enty and wanting to go again
ornate basin
entie is great
native stream
is there a reason warspite hasn't been in the medal shop but hood, prinz, illustrious, and san diego have all been twice?
native stream
not since i started playing, which was week 2
so unless she was the on release ship, she's not been in there
naive cobalt
She was first one iirc, yes
And the only ship who is yet to be in medal exchange is Enterprise iirc, so it should be obvious some would be there twice, trice and so one. That's random, at least that's what AL Official told us.
naive cobalt
That's something @bleak vale should answer, they should be online in a few hours or so.

We will officially annouce the upcoming patch notes, so I can't answer your question@fathom scroll

Usually we will only leak/tease the game content within 2 weeks, I reply that quesion because our kind @naive cobalt asked XD

11.15 maintenance compensandies ?
willow sonnet
Just remove ship build times and quick finishers all together tbh?
rare jay
I mean, it's already a core aspect of the game that would be extra work to remove and plus some people (myself included at times) like seeing the timer for the shipgirl they're rolling for and the excitement from it. And it's not really a detriment since you always have plenty of quick finishers
tardy arch
plus if they did they'd have to revamp most of the game to account for it and the game wouldn't be free anymore.

Can we not use dates where we can't even play the event on?
Why have a date of 11/15 when the event is done on 11/14. Q_Q
minor robin
Cos there should be a break between this event and the next?
A lot of other players are already getting burnt out
sharp hemlock
No, what I mean is advertise the event date from xx~11/14 and not 11/15. I thought I had a day left. Q_Q
naive cobalt
I think they mean event being announced as "-11/15", when in reality 14th is last day
sharp hemlock
I was super confused because the bailey event was advertized correctly as ending on the 14th.
sharp hemlock
Which I'm saying... don't do that.

In future after all ships added can you guys include Iris Heart/Airisu Hato?
Thanks Ender btw
minor robin
i said we weren't taking them regardless -_-
worldly agate
What no hope?
minor robin
there's always gonna be new ships to catch up on
and it is exceedingly difficult to rerun collabs
worldly agate
I really did rate it good.
minor robin
which is the bigger issue in this case really
worldly agate
All my friends in irl are talking about her...
minor robin
minor robin
in the case of collabs
you need permission from the creator... official contracts, etc
worldly agate
Contracts?
minor robin
yes, they do have contracts
worldly agate
Oh! Make sense some friend said to me...
worldly agate
For now?
worldly agate
Wait those nep nep ships have... Voice acts right?
minor robin
they do
minor robin
but yeah it's JP/CN that makes the ships anyways
worldly agate
bitter rampart
I thought it was CN only who make the ships
but then again there are JP exclusive skins
minor robin
yes, but the VAs are japanese...
we are using a reskinned JP not CN as well
worldly agate
I'm sorry I jumped to this problem it's just I want to marry her... In irl and it's for real.
minor robin
fervent musk
also a bit techincal but nonetheless still a suggestion, something like "verify integrity of game files" in the title screen ?
fervent musk
worldly agate
Enderhazard ping me if Iris Heart will be added I was depressed, my body constantly shaking like the construction worker finished drilling and heart pain...
My friend liked the game btw
minor robin
...she won't be added in the foreseeable future unless they rerun the collabs in JP/CN which is extremely unlikely itself
worldly agate
Rip...
I can't marry purple heart
She's rude
Oh btw like a jackhammer i feel like jackhammer with a heart pain whoooo i find in Google what rhey used.
