So you say it doesn't feel good to way for an opportunity to use torpedoes. And your suggestion it to make it "spin the wheel" kind of deal where you can't even control it or play around it. Just pure RNG.
#game-feedback
naive cobalt
modern wagon
Yes, there are plenty of skill like that already.
naive cobalt
Sounds like an awful idea.
The way it currently works you're able to save those torps until skill procs and use it for it's full potential
The way you suggesting - you have literally no way of knowing, controlling or playing any part in it.
modern wagon
However, you can't always use the skill to it's full potential if supernatural activates at inopritune moments, such as if their are very few ships, or if you're reloading missles.
minor robin
Which is why you use high ROF guns do have as much up time as possible 
naive cobalt
if supernatural activates at inopritune moments, such as if their are very few ships, or if you're reloading missles. and nothing is lost because
- it's 20 seconds long iirc
- there's no cooldown
- it's irrelevant because my point is that you want to take away player's control and decision making in favour of making it pure RNG.
minor robin
Considering a +6 76mm has sub 0.7s/shot rof on Aya
naive cobalt
you want to take away player's control and decision making in favour of making it pure RNG. And I won't ever take a suggestion that does that unless you make really good point as to why that's a plus.
minor robin
It's 12 sec btw
naive cobalt
12, 20, whatever
minor robin
It's her kai skill that's 20 sec
And let's be frank, torps are better for manual play, so is this skill
No reason to make it "less manual friendly" to make it seem more fair to auto users
naive cobalt
It has 0 impact on auto. Either RNG is "it proced from torps" or "it proced from shots" - there's little to no difference
If it decided shots didn't proc the skill when auto launches toprs - it won't do it when launching them as well
minor robin
Additionally, with how her skill works now, it also applies to her kai barrage torps
And her kai barrage torps hurt a lot
modern wagon
But if the extra damage had a 70% proc chance on torpedo fire, what would e wrong with that? I mean, Lucky E does this,or perhaps somthing more comparable would be the Big 7 procs.
minor robin
And my question to you is, what do I gain from making the skill like that?
It only makes manual play more difficult
modern wagon
Having both Suprnatural and Demon Dance activate simultaneously (isn't that likelwhile not uncommon) is still unlikely. But is that no also pure RNG that has nothing to do with player input
modern wagon
To answer your question, I believery changing the way the skill procs would have little impact on manual play if it still activates often enough.
minor robin
It just has to activate within the 12 seconds before the skill activates... Which is extremely simple
So if it has very little impact... Why change it?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
And if aya is manualing (as in within range of enemies) you'd have the gun firing ~20x in 12s
naive cobalt
Anyway, if you want to talk about gameplay and so on - there're better channels for that. I won't take suggestion in it's current form and I don't see any reason to change this skill at all
modern wagon
The way it is now still bothers me however. I also feel as though in this discussion is rather one sidded as well. I am saying that being able to fire torpedo's out at any point at my discression, whil having a chance to deal bonus damage would be nicer than haveng to wait for supernatural to proc from primary gunfire.
minor robin
Which has a ~64% chance of proccing at least once before her barrage is released
Tying it to torp launch which is at minimum 22s would make it impossible to tie it in kai barrage without an excessive amount of time
No reason to fix what ain't broke, it's just your preference, get used to it or just not use ayanami
naive cobalt
Don't be rude, you're a mod now 
I am saying that being able to fire torpedo's out at any point at my discression, whil having a chance to deal bonus damage would be nicer than haveng to wait for supernatural to proc from primary gunfire. The only thing I can say is to repeat what I already told you. You're suggesting to make skill RNG dependent instead of decision-making-dependent and things like these are basically auto-rejected
Even if it's RNG in it's current form - you still able to control it
You won't be in the way you suggesting.
So there's that.
Also you can just... not wait for it to proc
And think it works the way you suggesting and you got unlucky
modern wagon
Okay then. How about the Takao class double torpedo procs? Is that skill dependant? Or big 7 procs whenever they fire the main gun? How about Lucky E? All of it is pure RNG. Perhaps this because it's hard to tell tones from text on a screen, but I am detecting a lot of hostility from a simple suggestion.
naive cobalt
It is pure RNG. And I would love for them to not be.
minor robin
Well in taco class case... Their main gun fire every... 7-9s anyways
Enty you don't have any alternative
It's rng yes, but is there any straightforward way to improve it without making it unnecessarily complicated?
If yes, we would love to hear it
velvet adder
There are many pure RNG skills, yes - and there are only a handful that are considered to be any good, mostly those with 60%+ chances.
Proc-on-fire may look even more RNG, but in practical terms guarantees greater uptime and a shot at manipulating the chances (by using quicker guns).

During the App Store bug time, I had made 4900 Gems purchase 3 times (coz it bugged) after the purchase issue fixed, app store took my money but didn’t give me any Gems in game

velvet adder
Okay ty
naive cobalt
@covert shore While 10% sounds like not a lot - if you consider the fact that you have 3 of them and it's just completely free whole-fleet-wide 30% heal before any mission and the one you can actually split if you don't need all 30% at the same time - it's more than enough for what's supposed to be just a bonus to ARs. (it would actually heal more than their actual in-battle heal if it's buffed 
)
@bronze helm 1. Free dock expansion was suggested, but don't count on it much.
2. Game gives enough gems for beating story missions to buy at least few of them if that's a big problem. (+we did get apologems few times even if people would prefer for it to happen more often )
3. You don't need to have all the ships in your dock, especially if you're playing F2P
@winter escarp That's more of a bug/UI problem than anything. Report it with form. Or don't because it'll become irrelevant with the new UI anyway.

in Kaga's case you have the type mismatch on top
upper mortar
Well I wouldn't even count neptunia ships as AL ships anyways.
Kaga is infinitely more popular than Neps anyways.
upper mortar
In history kaga was a battleship before aircraft though, she's a tosa
ornate basin
as I said in a way
its two different classes and two different hull types
therefore kaga bb and kaga cv will not share skins
upper mortar
The hull yes but she still was tosa class with the chassis and everything.
ornate basin
you dont think its silly to have a battleship equip a carrier skin
upper mortar
The skins dont even show carrier stuff, except the chibis, which is pretty easy to just copy a battleship gun on?
The swimsuit one could be, I suppose. But its more or less a mat. Her wedding skin is legit just norm.
upper mortar
I said skins. dude.
ornate basin
not to nit pick but her swimsuit skin has her surfboard as a carrier dock and her new years skin has planes, but the planes are minor
this is a pickle
upper mortar
Yeah, the swimsuit one would have to be worked a bit on, granted that dock was actually there was well, just a lot smaller.
upper mortar
If they just gave the wedding skin to the new ship, I doubt it'd be that difficult
and they'd be making 6$ per new kaga ship anyways. And a LOT of people like Kaga.

I'm pretty sure they have more than enough ships already planned.
And "add X ship" is completely useless suggestion unless you have a really good case for why it should be added with an idea for an event or smth.

And "add X ship" is completely useless suggestion unless you have a really good case for why it should be added with an idea for an event or smth.
I wonder, if someone will suggest there a ship, provide concept art and character design, is it still no-no or passable as suggestion?
naive cobalt
- noone will
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS2tzDiP7LA
It would sound harsh, but... they don't really need your idea. They have more than enough already planned and it's not like find what ship to create next is that hard of a thing. If they wanted public ideas - there would be a public vote or announcement.
Now I'm not saying it's impossible, but extremely unlikely.
Public vote or campaign like the one we had with "suggest which collab you want ALEN to have" is way more realistic of a thing.
And I won't be surprised if something similar would happen at some point.
But this "we directly ask you for ideas" part is important

@marble zodiac how do you know?
marble zodiac
it was released on the crimson echo wiki page
ornate basin
jp has had back to back events but we got a mini event (that I lowkey skipped over )
naive cobalt
@marble zodiac JP doesn't need to catch up with JP. We do. JP doesn't have whole year of back log to run. We do. If we take same amount of time between each event it'll take us literal never to catch up.
Moreover - 3 weeks between events is unreasonably long and serves no meaning. Especially if you consider the fact that event itself is 2 weeks long, which means you have almost a month to save stuff and farm for it (on EN) instead of month and a week (on JP\CN)
So instead of "why EN has less time" my question is "why JP had so much time"
(if that is even true and there was just a 3 weeks of nothing)
ornate basin
jp never feels long theres always something
naive cobalt
I dunno, I don't play JP. I just know I prefer to play the game instead of not, just because some people don't consider the fact that beside "time till the event starts" there's also "time till event ends" and want to roll everything day-1 
normal vine
a thought I had, would it be better to say "one enemy" instead of "an enemy"?
naive cobalt
Yea, maybe
Also about events
i had meaned more that CN/KR/JP got like 21 days for it while we get just 14 daysThat is not even true. Utaware collab ended on 13th. Crimson Echoes started on 27th.
That is exactly 14 days
And there were like 3 smaller events in-between
2 of those with it's own limited construction and event maps
ornate basin
3 annoying smaller events 
naive cobalt
Oh wait
I completely misunderstood what they meant
I'm big baka 
I thought it's about "breaks are too short" as always, but it's about duration of the event itself
I'll ask staff when they come online, maybe just Quack-kun made an error with dates. But that is definitely weird
Sorry for my mistake

no problem ty. i was just very confused why only EN should be get a shorter duration for the events. tyvm for ya help^^

an option to unlock all ships cuz i have like 50 ships locked and wanna unlock them and that will take forever
marble zodiac
a option to unequip EVERY ship at once
a option to have a "advice" button for Gear like we have it for commission
naive cobalt
@velvet adder I'll add it.
@marble zodiac Un-equip for every ship won't work because of limited inventory space, un-equip for the whole fleet is more reasonable and was suggested.
I don't mind Advise for gear, but how would it work? Commissions consider only 2 things - it takes lowest (non 1) level possible and ship should be locked. Gear has a lot of variables, an while weapons can be sorted by DPS (even if it's a lie most of the time), there's no way to do the same with Aux, unless you want it to be just "random whatever"
And "random whatever" makes no sense and you can equip whatever without wasting much of the time as is
golden sun
good idea to actually make hard mode "only boss" when at the safest danger level. but itd be nice if we can turn that feature off, since some players mighy want to lvl up their ship in hard mode

Yea, fair enough
you should just do it on non-hard mode maps tho
they don't give more rewards than normal maps afaik
the only difference is they are harder and have fleet restrictions

not sure if it was already mentioned but i will say it so it gets support i guess, have you guys considered adding a feature where u select X ships and they would rotate as random secretaries on every shop reset or something like that on the main menu, i know its not like a priority thing but i think it would be a nice touch.

Anyways, refering to the picture above, I just want to let the AL dev team know that breaking the "nothing will be censored unless required by the government" promise they made in summer is unacceptable, and I'll be skipping buying the 79.99 pack (100 CAD D: ) to purchase the summer L2D skins like I was planning on doing this evening because of it. one of the largest reasons for this game's rapid growth is that people migrated here from the overly-censored Girls Frontline in hopes of finding a game that doesn't do the same, like myself. This may be a small issue, however if nobody speaks up about it now, it'll only serve as a justification for further censorship down the road "because people are fine with it" like what happened in Girls Frontline.

You guys do realize the bottom loading screen is across all servers right? EN is NOT getting censorship
strong wren
"All servers" except JP as far as I'm aware, which is the server NA was supposed to be moddled after.
jovial summit
Self censorship before release is still censorship is it not?
strong wren
KR and CN have decency laws which don't apply to EN, so they are the exception.
rare jay
You can actually look at the bottom loading screen and see that it has Japanese characters on it
strong wren
oh thought those were Chinese
naive cobalt
and ss if from jp version
rare jay
So that loading screen is in JP as well
naive cobalt
*is
jovial summit
Change of art...self censoring to avoid CN backlash
strong wren
aight, if it's in JP as well I guess that's fine
but I just want the devs to know that if EN is getting any additional censorship I'll be dropping this game HARD, because I've got censorship PTSD from Girls Frontline and am pretty much 0-tolerance for that stuff now
naive cobalt
We're not getting any censorship
jovial summit
I mean in the same week there is the Isokaze skin and now this? You think this is just suddenly last minute change of art?
strong wren
Restart, you aren't a developer so don't go making promises on thier behalf, thanks
rare jay
Yes actually. For one reason or another, Manjuu wanted to change art
jovial summit
Selfcensorship to avoid any issues. Thats a form of censorship. Remember the Isokaze skin chibi form in gameplay is still the one that was cut i.e. it wasn't some run of the mill change. The change was last second.
naive cobalt
I see people starting shit for no reason and not understanding what censorship is. So far not one thing was censored on EN and they were true to their promise. So at the very least I can make promises which they already did and kept
jovial summit
Expressing dissatisfaction is not "starting shit"
This is the feedback channel this is feedback
strong wren
The developers, and the people I'm addressing this to make money off this game.
Any concern I have with this game means potential lost money for them, so I will let them know of ANY issue I encounter.
naive cobalt
As you should.
strong wren
Oh as for the Isokaze skin change, that one is fine since that one was sort of a 1-time emergency thing, until this loading screen change happened.
naive cobalt
But I've seen enough people starting arguments just to shout "we're getting censored" when nothing actually happens, so sorry if I'm being abrasive
strong wren
Trust me, you don't want to get involved in those. I've seen cases of mods trying to desperately reassure people that it won't happen, just for the company to drop the hammer later down the road and the mods felt like crap afterwards. GFL server had this same issue
naive cobalt
Some artist make art that is too much not only by CN, but by JP standards as well. This art gets changed. it's not censorship, but a change in art. Especially Iso skin one, because there was a lot of backlash from fans on their twitter because of that.
strong wren
and ending these arguments before they reach the eyes/ears of the devs also increases the chances it won't be adressed
naive cobalt
The difference in those is that we actually have game staff here who we can communicate and discuss things with
strong wren
Anyways once again, at the very least this serves as a reminder for the devs that us EN players remember the promise they gave us, and helps avoid the actual issue of EN-exclusive censorship in the future
naive cobalt
And not just mods taking shots in the dark
jovial summit
If it was feedback over the skin why not offer the option and have both? All the work on the Isokaze skin was already done.
strong wren
Nah, the Isokaze skin is honestly overboard, and has an actual chance of not meeting government guidelines regarding sexualization of minors, so it's understandable
jovial summit
And yet Albacore is fine?
strong wren
A one-time emergency fix for only 1 skin in that sense is fine, since it's an issue. But the normalization of censorship and the "censor as much stuff as possible to lower chances of dissatisfaction from parents" or whatever dumb reason GFL had is the unacceptable bit
jovial summit
This concept of it being some "emergency" is BS. Is it due to feedback or was it an emergency? You can't have it both ways
marble zodiac
btw is that now realy a wiki bug or something or is that event realy 1 weak shorter in EN then in JP/CN/KR? cause even in #game-news its written that the event ships can construct from 10th-24th january
naive cobalt
As I said - we do talk with devs and they know about these concerns people have. And from what I can tell - they're against censorship just as much as we all here
@marble zodiac we don't know yet, maybe a mistake, I'll ask staff about it when they come online
marble zodiac
ahh sry i had eventualy not got readed that this mornign as we talked the first about it^^
cause when its true it would be very sad
tyvm anyway for the effort^^
normal vine
@strong wren it's a fucking loading screen ... Prince's summer skin for example is the JP version with smaller bra and visible nips
and Takao has her JP default skin with shorter skirt, too
strong wren
Yeah, and if that's going to change I'll be dropping the game, just wanted to make that clear
jovial summit
I don't understand this "its just a loading screen" argument....you're not making a point or refuting anything
strong wren
Having come from GFL, I've heard the "It's only X" argument too many times, which always escaletes into "if you were ok with X, why is Y not ok now?"
naive cobalt
I just want to make one thing clear to summarize this discussion and maybe explain this to people - if for some reason JP decides to use less provocative or suggestive arts - there's basically nothing EN can do with it. If all versions use "selfcensored" art - EN can't just go "fuck it, we'll edit it to be more lewd". 
"Non-censored" version is "non-existent" at that point.
strong wren
I’m personally ok as long as EN is in synch with JP art-wise. If JP (and every server on the planet, since JP is the most lenient) makes the change, it becomes the normal across all servers, which nobody can fault the EN localization for.
jovial summit
Unlikely considering current precedent
ornate basin
🤦
versed saddle
The change of event duration from 21 days to 14 days is a pretty smart move. Currently, the event in JP has:
-no drop exclusive ship (eg. Deutschland, Akatsuki)
-only 1 SSR (Amagi) is exclusive to construction
-1 SSR (BB Kaga) can be purchased on event shop currency, which also drops on the event map
-Event shop is easy to clear, the only important item is BB Kaga
With them shortening the event duration, EN can immediately get ready for the next event JP gets at the end of the month.
ornate basin
BB kaga also can be constructed
versed saddle
Yes you can include that. The best point I think is that there is no drop exclusive ship. This usually consumes most of the time which makes it justifiable to shorten the event since this mechanic do not exist for this specific event.
naive cobalt
@versed saddle You completely ignoring the fact that "more time event is up -> more opportunities to get cubes/gold -> more chances to get ships from construction -> more time to farm them if you can't get them from construction"
versed saddle
Well you get 11 days from now until the event, longer break than usual 7 days. I work 45 hours a week and I can always have around 300 cubes stocked up before events while being F2P. I usually get the gold to overfill a week before the event.
gleaming echo
This event was lasted too short, it has a lot of stuffs to exchange which reqauired a lot of points and only lasted 2 weeks, for a fulltime workers like me and some others i believe, we can only playing it at night when we get back from works, i tried to play as much as possible and only got to D1 at the end of the event, which i have spent the whole night on sunday to grind, and only got enough points to exchange tirpits and some others prizes.
Please considering and give us more times to grind on the next and all the up coming events from now on.
Thank you
minor robin
It's 2.5 weeks actually. And unfortunately if you're a new player and you have a busy schedule, you'll have to bear with it
sour monolith
@versed saddle I agree. I usually just let the game run on auto while working and I usually get events done in a week. I think the pace is fine right now.
gleaming echo
im level 77, work over 60 hours a week, i have supporting the game from the released day, bought all the newly packs and skins and i demand a good playing time expirement
versed saddle
You are lucky you can open the game at work while at our place, we can't. I usually just grind at on the way and at home though I still manage to finish things.
minor robin
I mean, if you're level 77, you should definitely be able to do D4
gleaming echo
i did not tell you that i cant do D4 just i DONT HAVE TIME TO DO IT
minor robin
Players have been feedbacking about the lack of time between events anyways
Not the duration of the event itself
naive cobalt
No
sour monolith
Pretty much. This game is pretty casual enough compared to other mobile games I used to play. I can easily grind this at work while of course doing my work.
naive cobalt
Feedback is about duration actually
minor robin
Duration between events restart
Not of the event itself
naive cobalt
Dates in tweets suggest event will last for 2 weeks
While on CN event is 3 weeks long
versed saddle
@sour monolith I agree. I used to play grandblue fantasy. Ended up quitting after a year since it seemed like a second job. I'm glad AL is pretty much easy to play
gleaming echo
@sour monolith please, not everyone can playing game at work like you. think of others
ornate basin
wait if you’re level 77 doesnt that mean you also have more than enough time (so far by level) to play
versed saddle
@gleaming echo Well I just said I can't play the game at work too so...
naive cobalt
I think it's going off-topic.
gleaming echo
oh, c'mon, i have said that i dont have enough time to grind to D4, NOT I CANT reach to D4
naive cobalt
Regardless of your personal situations - if event last for 3 weeks on other servers - there's no benefit to making it shorter here. Just because some people have enough time to do it fast - doesn't mean everyone is
gleaming echo
i got 12 ships level 100 and 20 ships lv 90+
velvet adder
German CN event was ~18 days long one year ago. Same with JP.
EN is around 17 days if we count maintenance.
sour monolith
@naive cobalt I think probably because the staff wanted to catch up. Least my friend is happy with 2 weeks less since he said he had finals on the last week of january
marble zodiac
@sour monolith but there are many ppl like myself that will not be happy with lesser time
versed saddle
I agree, probably staff just wanted to catch up. The next event is pretty much barren in terms of shop. Unlike the past events
velvet adder
I understand the complaint about Crimson Echoes. But complaining and asking us to go slower than JP/CN is nonsensical.
minor robin
Divergent Chessboard original CN run is 20 days, JP run is 18 days, EN run is 18 days
versed saddle
This is the event shop for crimson echoes
minor robin
We are following JP restart...
versed saddle
You can see you only have 1 item to grind for. To have it run for 3 weeks, compared to KMS where we ran it for 17 days seems to be inefficient
marble zodiac
@versed saddle i see more then 8 different items to grind for
minor robin
And let's be honest here, clearing the shop isn't necessary.
You can just go for the essential items and let it be
ornate basin
and kaga is droppable and shes buildable so its quite easy to get her anyways if you actively play
meaning like 30 minutes of your life a day or less even
versed saddle
@marble zodiac Compare it to the KMS shop where you have twice as much
minor robin
The other items are for people who have more time on their hands
naive cobalt
Divergent Chessboard original CN run is 20 days, JP run is 18 days, EN run is 18 days I was talking about Echoes
sour monolith
Wow looks like the grind for the next event seems pretty easy at least
naive cobalt
As is "next event we getting"
minor robin
July wasn't even talking about echoes tho
gleaming echo
well, i dont want to start an agrument here, i just wrote my feedback for the game, and demand for a good gaming expirement, that's all.
versed saddle
My friend hasn't even reached the event hard modes but managed to clear divergent chessboard with just event mission and x2 normal maps (+ a bit of B4 grind since he wanted deutchland)
naive cobalt
July wasn't even talking about echoes tho Other people were and both discussions are related.
marble zodiac
i can undersdtand it to reduce the duration of waiting between events to catch up, just not understandable is to reduce the duration of the events itself
naive cobalt
And I was always advocating for having shorter breaks but longer events anyway
versed saddle
Well if the staff is planning to shorten it then they must have reasons. We do not have full event info released at the moment. You might think they will increase point drop amounts and other kinks
velvet adder
Restart, I think they're two different things tbh. One was asking for the same event length JP had, the other was asking to go slower than them.
gleaming echo
if they want to catch other server's event, at least they should increase the points drop
marble zodiac
IF a big IF they do so and for example increase the dropped currency then i could understand it and when they do that i have nothing against it, besides the poin t ya have lesser time to construct ya needed ships
many ppl are hyped for amagi and will be very disapointed if they dunno can get her just cause the event lost 33% of their duration
versed saddle
Yes, I'm glad you can see my point. If an event duration is shortened, we do not need to complain about them bring it back to the original duration, instead we should persuade them to increase the drop amounts.
naive cobalt
Anyway, rn we just have to wait till staff comes online. As I said multiple times - I'll bring this up to them. I already suggested to have longed events by having shorter breaks between them, but I guess it was rejected.
sour monolith
I agree, the main goal of the staff currently is to sync servers
So they can't make things longer
gleaming echo
i believe in you, thank you for your works and delive our voices to them @naive cobalt
naive cobalt
Having increased currency drops is a solution as well.
versed saddle
@naive cobalt You should try and pitch for them to increase point amounts
marble zodiac
@naive cobalt aye like i said yesterday thank ya for ya effort^^
naive cobalt
But kinda does nothing with the fact that people still have less time to farm for ships\fish them out of construction 
Unless they increase that as well
marble zodiac
but i can't see it that they would increase the chance for construction
naive cobalt
Which I doubt
sour monolith
Construction will always be an issue since it's gacha based and you can't always guarantee probability
versed saddle
Same with drops
marble zodiac
aye but for example more time give ya more chance to get enbough time for more constructions
versed saddle
Azurlane already has the most forgiving rates as well as the amount of gacha currency they give so I can't complain about that.
marble zodiac
but like @naive cobalt said we dunno know if its just a twitter/wiki mistake or if they realy reduced the duration
naive cobalt
Well, wiki just take dates from twitter
Maybe they think that there's not enough content in this event to warrant 3-week-long event and that 2 is enough. Which is unfortunate and would cause a backlash, but understandable.
Anyway, we'll see
versed saddle
Unless they specifically inform the community about the content of the event, people will assume it has the same weight as the previous

Sugestion: once completition of hard mode threat lvl be at 0 u guys could make all the mistery nodes spawn instantly, wich dosent happen currently

The counter to that suggestion would be probably be "No because Players can simply just spam the node in Hard Mode just to get all those "?" spaces" which leads to easy farming for Coins.

It was supposed to end 30th 2359 as per the in game banner
You can get it on the rerun

Of I recall my game somehow had it set at 31st
In this case to avoid messing up, can the European playerbase get time localisation? (You should be able to set the time zone in-game to avoid things like this

We've already discussed this before, there won't be time localisation
They already broke the game moving the whole server back by one hour
In any case it's following Pacific Standard Time

Could we get this text box reworded please? As it is, it's very confusing where the grey Cancel button means retreat and lose current map progress, instead of just cancelling the text box.

yes
marble zodiac
if it was allready mentioned I'm sorry to repeat it
Suggestion: For skills like Tirpitz Magnetic Torpedos have any window or CD shown, how long to wait until its ready again
naive cobalt
It was, but really unlikely to happen cos would require complete overhaul of the battle UI (Which is not happening in the upcoming UI overhaul as far as we know )

damn. its sometimes just annoying to decide for example with wichitas "burst" to wait for it to clear something or better use a airstrike or volley

trading/gifting system idea
players need to buy a trading ticket for $5 (or more to prevent abuse and both players need it, unless you're just gifting the other player)
if you are trading a level 100 ship, it will reset back to level 1 once traded and equipment/gear needs to be removed first (to prevent abuse)
players need level 10 (or more) commander to trade
i don't see how this could be abused as the ships go back to level 1 once traded, but i'd like to see someone prove me wrong cuz i'm curious on how this could be abused
you also need money to buy a trading ticket, which means you can't abuse it with free gems
ornate basin
making multiple accounts, purchasing tickets, and trading ships you earn from multiple accounts possibly
like a crazy form of rerolling with more cash than usual
velvet adder
so just make a new account for free gems and keep rerolling
true i guess
i don't remember how many gems you get for free, but let's say you get 1000 free gems. 1200 gems is around $20 in the shop
so maybe make the trading ticket $20, but then again, if you get crap with your 1000 free gems, people could just make a new account and hope to get the ship they want without losing any money
this is why i suggested to have your commander level 10 in order to trade. if we make the commander level 50 in order to trade, that will take a while to get
tl;dr: the people who abuse this is willing to invest a lot of time to level up commander to get the ship they want
i guess that's the only way it can be abused if people have no life
will this suggestion be considered or nah?
naive cobalt
no

cold tusk
Suggestion:
Can we have an item that can turn all enemy nodes in a stage to treasure fleets, the said item can be obtained via hard mode(low chance) or buying in shops (large amount of coins or gems).
Ambush and Boss fleet is not affected to the said item, Treasure Fleets is always a large fleet and equal to the level of the boss of the current stage.
visual storm
What's the point though? Boxes? Even if it's for Coins then it's like counter er . . .something.
cold tusk
For gold boxes, farming exp and maybe for plates
minor robin
I think, the amount you spend to get the item would be more than what you gain from said treasure nodes lol
Because the reward is the non-biggest issue
It's the fact that every node becomes significantly easier to clear reducing the difficulty of the level as a whole.
winter escarp
Can you please stop hiding these? I didn’t know it existed till today there is no notice like commissions etc. took me a while to even figure out how to draw one
And the only reason I went looking for it cuz I figured it had to be somewhere being the first

A mark of max enhance MAX on ship retrate

@winter escarp By "hiding" do you mean this banner by any chance? https://i.imgur.com/bueDHr7.png
and it being listed as a new event? https://i.imgur.com/8FXTAFY.png
winter escarp
there is no notice in game
naive cobalt
both screenshots were taken in-game
winter escarp
i am tried of trying to hunt them down why do you guys hide them
see the red ! thing? coms do this, everything does this, but these special draw things
Why?
its a bit furstating to give notice to everything else but them
because its easy to pass up and forget like that.
a spinning banner is not a notice restart, it is easily missed
naive cobalt
Do you have any suggestion how it can be fixed or you just venting?
winter escarp
make a notie like eveything else in the game?
naive cobalt
on the banner?
winter escarp
no
naive cobalt
notie on what in that case?
winter escarp
that banner window is not even that helpful because how it spins and easly overlooked
the red ! stuff, as i said ealier, it needs one like everything else in the game
winter escarp
i do not know, but please stp hiding it, its the only thing you guys hide and i do not get why
rare jay
Perhaps something like with other skin quest lines where the character is in the Academy and the academy will have the '!' when a quest is available or done. Just place the respective character from the lucky draw in the academy and have them have the '!' when you have a draw available? Something like that
winter escarp
at first i thouhgt that was jsut being done because i figured all the kinks was not worked out, but i missed 3 days on this one because i didnt think it would be another hidden thing. When I first saw it on the 28th i thought it was a teaser and was gonna start on the first like some missions or something
yeah it can flag though the acamdy like some of the other ones
naive cobalt
Does this event has a story?
winter escarp
that have the ships link it though them walking there
naive cobalt
If yes - it's weird it's not like that anyway
winter escarp
?
rare jay
Technically it does. It's just about them getting New Years food though
naive cobalt
It doesn't matter what's it about. It should still have a chibi in academy
winter escarp
yeah basically, thats the idea so it can be flagged though that and give you the ! notice thing
naive cobalt
Maybe one time thing, dunno. I'll add it to the list anyway.
winter escarp
it isnt, there was like.. 3? or 4 idm, stuff so far where you had to "hunt" for it
and easly missed if you simply forgot because lack of on screen notice like everything else
naive cobalt
The only one I remember is moon rabbit one
winter escarp
yeah that was another

for uh @izumi , do you get what they mean? It is something i worned about as well since I got plenty of maxed ships and it is time consuming to keep spinning though them to check. Can we get some kind of visual on the dock ship cards to refelct they are maxed out?
winter escarp
kinda figured, it would seem others thouht about, i just wasnt sure if you understood what they meant wording it like that
sorry i took your focus too
naive cobalt
nah, it's ok
misty acorn
Suggestion: How about adding a trivia page to each ship (I know it would take a while)
The trivia could contain some real-life history of the ship, bust/waist/hip sizes in-game and armament.
If it'd be too much of a hassle to add into the game and it is deemed unneeded, how about adding it to your official page so people can get some more info on each shipgirl.
naive cobalt
It takes too much work to make all of these for really small benefit
faint hinge
I think that's a good suggestion. Not really feasible here but Manjuu probably has no problem considering adding more depth to their characters.
drowsy mulch
suggestion: i have an idea, how about give a mark of a ship's equipment that have been equiped instead of giving a 'E' mark on it, so when we wanna take an equipment from equiped equipment we already know which one to take over instead of clicking it just to know who is equip it and then back again because it's so slow loaded just tok look to the description
from this..
..to this
naive cobalt
I think that's a good suggestion. Not really feasible here but Manjuu probably has no problem considering adding more depth to their characters. I don't think that's a bad suggestion. I just feel like the only part that'll be added is "3 sizes" part. And it has it's own problems.
@drowsy mulch Those icons would get almost unrecognizable.
drowsy mulch
yeah, because it just took long load just to view this scene, and i need to repeat it till i get which one i want to take over from
it would be easier that we can already know which one to be selected from the equipment scene
thanks 
normal vine
or, if you know that you want to take Belfast's one - why not go to Belfast first and unequip it?
naive cobalt
because that would require even more time?
that's not really the point here
you choosing equips for a ship and you have a row of like 10 copies of the same exact gun. if you can see who has it rn - it's easier to decide which one to take
instead of opening every one to know whose that is

I thought the prior excuse for the change was because of "fan feedback" so whats this about? Which is it? If this is the case then why the earlier lie?
naive cobalt
Why are you asking us? What can ALEN staff tell you? There was no "official excuse" because we don't have this skin.
If you want the reason for "why EN will have censored version" the answer I gave you is "because JP has one. because all regions use that one"
If ALJP staff told the excuse of "fan feedback" - ask them about this.
If you have anything against "self-censorship" - bring it to JP staff. Right now you getting mad and demanding answer over the skin we don't even have in the game.

hey guys, maybe this has been suggested before but I think it would be great if the devs would consider adding the ability to "lock" equipment like you can ships so that they don't show up in the recycle menu. a friend of mine destroyed several fire extinguishers accidentally because he was mindlessly recycling blue gear. of course it was his fault but I think this would be a nice feature to help prevent accidents

As a suggestion, could someone relay to the AL team that some of these loading screens would be fantastic as main menu screens? Not sure how that would work because you might need to have two or more ships seen in it, but the art is fantastic. If they were made into live2D I think that people who definitely like even more too.
naive cobalt
Starting screen arts are usually tied to some sort of event, so
stuck bramble
I dont know if this was suggested, but how about improved boss drops?
Instead of Common ships dropping from boss nodes, just Rare and above to drop from them?
I feel like after a thought boss fight, seeing a common drop from them feels like a slap to the face...
Plus, we get alot of commons from mob nodes
minor robin
Except....
You're not guaranteed ship drops from normal nodes
You're only guaranteed them on s clearing boss nodes lol
naive cobalt
I feel like there's some good in "improve guaranteed boss-drop" idea, but maybe not that
minor robin
After a while people would get pissed at that even
ornate basin
no more rares!!!
naive cobalt
it does feel lackluster tho
when your boss drop not that different from normal node drop
maybe more designs
like, instead of getting only 1, you get designs for 2 or maybe even 3 if you lucky different weapons\equips
it doesn't change that much if you get 1 more design per map, but makes it feel better to fight bosses, because not only you getting more, but it increases the chances of it being the one you want
After a while people would get pissed at that even :mutsukiStare: obviously, but that's what people do

Suggestion: a way to change background music / make different music available (I really like the New Year’s theme music, I wish there was a way to keep it once the event is over). I liked other event music as well.

@naive cobalt I didn't say start screen. I said the main menu, specifically where the secretary ship is.
calm thunder
In the archive menu maybe be an icon on the numbers for ships that say unknown but dont have a corresponding ship in the game yet? just so that people who can't wiki fu dont have to worry about missing some ships that in reality arent even in the game at all. (i.e. like numbers 3 and 4, they dont have a ship corresponding to that number yet)
naive cobalt
If the ship is in the game they'll be grayed out, but you can still see them
If they don't exist - there won't be anything
normal vine
for plates and crates I'd certainly agree to bosses dropping only the highest (two) tier(s), for ships or retrofit bps they should drop the whole range, yeah
and treasure fleets could do the same, while we're at it
they feel rather pointless to fight when you only get white mats and t1 crates (if at all) most of the time
would be nice if every sunk treasure ship guaranteed you a bp or highest-level (for the map) crate
If the ship is in the game they'll be grayed out, but you can still see them
not on the retrofit page, though - there you'll see "Unknown" and have to find the corresponding ship by number
so those could show the greyed-out art for the Kai instead
fervent musk
just a question: why doesn't the game use wiki's english translation for the ship lines?
normal vine
because the wiki translations were made by volunteer helpers and not ALEN staff
and ALEN might decide that it's better to not take the translation of a CN or JP line, because it contains a joke that just doesn't translate for example, but write a new line instead
naive cobalt
Also there're kinda legal reasons, although I'm not that knowledgeable at those, but they can't just take fans work even if they got paid for it. Especially when it's something like wiki which can be freely edited.

Suggestion: something in the archive UI where we can see where ship "X" dropps even when we allready collected it
normal vine
looking at https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Equipment_Drop_Table is there any chance to get especially the gold bps spread out a bit more evenly? e.g. replace a torpedo mount with octuple pompoms
although that's probably something to ask ALHQ ...
but yeah, especially worlds 10 to 12 could use more diversity in their drop tables, I think
stray marsh
Iirc we have Monthly login page every time we login after server reset, and event weekly login pops up there too. But am i doing something wrong, or we dont get pop-up for skin events like current Cygnet skin daily raffle? I've skipped few days on that event because i havent got any pop-up to tap on her raffle box. Same was for Ooshio skin on JP, needed to go to that event page by myself and tap to finish those quests. How about making them auto-finish when condition is met, without confirmation-to-receive-rewards-tap? And linking ANY event banner to ALL EVENTS page instead of straight to gacha would be really helpful. Although idk what to do with event-uprates in normal gacha pools, seems stupid to make separate event page for it
naive cobalt
Yea, there were people already complaining about that. It mentions new event in patch notes which are shown each time you start the game and there's banner for this event, but I guess it's easy to miss.
Suggestion was for these events to still trigger notification in Academy, like some other events with missions do
stray marsh
Well, i've missed 2 days on Cygnet EN event because i didnt knew if i rolled her box or not, there was no red "!" notification in ALL EVENTS page, and i've messed up on Ooshio JP 3 times because i did her quests, but didnt tapped on rewards to move onto next day
Suggestion was for these events to still trigger notification in Academy, like some other events with missions do
Either that or red notification on event banner in main menu or ALL EVENTS page
ornate basin
afaik when you log on and the daily pops up, there will be red exclamation points on the new events
isnt there? or am I just remembering strangely?
tardy arch
there is but only for side missions like ship quests. there's nothing like that for events like the blessed new year event.

Hi, quick question, on the 18th of December a video about Azur Lane was uploaded by crunchroll and it showed a much better upgraded UI, can we have more info on that? Is it still on developpement? Is that planned for this year in the Europe servers? Sorry if it's the wrong channel, i didn't know where to ask that
tardy arch
ya this is the wrong channel to ask about it. the new ui we saw is the revamped ui they plan to release. no ETA on when they'll release it though. none of the versions have it yet.
also the games updates aren't server related they're version related. there's a CN version, JP version, and EN version. (EN is the one you and i play)
mellow grotto
Thank you for your answer 
naive cobalt
there's nothing wrong with asking stuff like that here 
UI is still in development on all the versions, like Fire said. EN will get it for sure, but we don't know the exact date yet
but almost certainly this year, considering how much is already done (but that's just what I assume, don't quote me on that )
@grand cradle I never heard of these rumours to answer about that, but rule of thumb - never trust random rumours.

neon kite
Could we get an ❗ on Dorm button when food runs out?
knotty belfry
@neon kite This already happens, and you also get an alert on your device (or you should do, at least). If you choose to ignore their cry for food, an exclamation mark will be displayed on the dorm button until it is replenished.
neon kite
It doesn't for me though, maybe a bug? I get the notification from time to time but I've never seen the exclamation mark on dorm unless it's for coin / affinity
naive cobalt
No, it doesn't display ! on Dorm when food runs out
knotty belfry
iirc I've replenished just to get rid of the exclamation mark. I'll make sure for myself in an hour.
knotty belfry
Alright, I'd say the discrepancy is having the ! appear at the same time you get the notification. As you'll be able to see, there is no ! until after you check in the first time: https://streamable.com/2ooy7
normal vine
so the game only notifies you that they don't have food after you've already checked it yourself?
knotty belfry
unless you're not one to check the messages on your phone, I guess
normal vine
I have disabled most phone notifications
knotty belfry
The notification are useful when commissioning.
neon kite
I mostly play on emulator nowadays, so notifications doesn't even appear. And when I do play on my phone, they seem to be awfully desynced most of the time (probably cause I switch between emulator and phone all the time). Either way, the exclamation mark appearing after you check the dorm instead of before seems like a bug to me

mint turtle
I found a problem with the dialogue of the hood on the Rose skin. They are exactly the same as the default skins
In accordance with the wiki, she must say this
rare jay
Those are CN lines which means they are unvoiced so they are not in our version of the game
mint turtle
I tried all of the Rose skin's own lines, they all returned to the same default skin
rare jay
At least if I was lead correctly
ornate basin
rushing a relationship and disrespecting a lady are the same thing in this context
mint turtle
So that mean, Hood skin has no diffenrent voice line?
rare jay
Yes, her oath skin doesn't have new voice lines yet
they have written ones in CN but no voiced ones so they're aren't in the JP version
and we are based on the JP version
mint turtle
I know that. but in the last patch, I have seen these voice lines of the hood displayed. But now, ....it change or somthing?
rare jay
Hm...I can't say anything regarding that if those lines were actually in since I don't have her oathed. The only thing I can guess is that it was a mistake that they had them in if they actually were?
naive cobalt
If that was the case, then text was translated while voice lines - just standard ones
Which would be an error, so they changed it
rare jay
Yeah, that would make the most sense. A simple mistake that was corrected if that's what happened

with how much i use auto battle it kinda is

but surely you still interact with it, kinda isnt fully
jade surge
this one speaks the truth^
timid trench
Most of it is an idle game. The only interaction in this game is whenever you have to move your unit in the map. Lol
Maybe a button to increase the speed at least.
It takes like 6-8 minutes to clear a map. And you're unlikely to get a gold equip BP after 3 hours of farming. If only there's something to reduce that time so we can put more runs into the game
It's going to take months for a casual to farm for just one equipment
minor robin
People would get bored really easily if that was the case, which is poor game design
If you say
"Maybe use premium currency so not all will use them"
Then I'll say
That's what the gold boxes are for...
So I really don't see any reason, rejected.
naive cobalt
Yea, what Ender said
normal vine
@timid trench go play KC if you want to skip battles :P
timid trench
it doesnt have to be a skip battle. just something so its more time efficient for the players. Like i get it. it's a game where you're suppose to put a lot of time to progress and I know that the drop rates for this stuff are pretty low. but if I'm going to put 4 hours a day in the game and not getting a single thing that i was farming. people will get burned out really fast 
minor robin
If you really wanted to get them fast
You could just whale and open a crap tonne of boxes, done

I feel that Jintsuu's skin is very lacking compared to other skins.
It has no special dialogues or expressions for this skin.
The devs really need to implement more for this skin
stray marsh
Not the worst idea tbf```
Well, referral system supposed to reward multiple invites, so there could be something like prize-pack both to "master" and "apprentice" when "apprentice" registers, and some accumulative reward like exclusive skin for master when you hit *X* number of registrations or when apprentice levels his HQ to some extent.Although we dont have any particular registration process beyond account linking, so it could be something like referral code in that tab:
minor robin
@deep scarab None of the old skins have expressions and a lot of them lack special dialogue
It's valid feedback yes, but Jintsuu is far from the only one with it
personally I find her skin fantastic design wise if that's any consolation

Though it's just a minor thing, I feel like Cygnet's portrait of her Winter Date skin is smaller/less zoomed comparing to other ships.

@naive cobalt btw may i ask what was the problem that the duration was first just 14 days?
naive cobalt
Don't know, maybe they just confused something

@minor robin yeah but she is new and the price is not cheap.
Compared to many other skins with same price or even lower, her summer skin is lacking in particular
I hope the devs notice this
minor robin
It's not exactly new to other servers
And if you want to complain about price
Note that some skins literally cost more just because they have more boobs
ornate basin

I agree there needs to be an improvement yes, but Jintsuu is far from the only one with this issue

I was reading wiki the other day and it said Graf's beach skin gets voice over in the patch notes for Crimson Echoes. I imagine she had been around for a while in other servers, so it is probable Jintsuu will be sorted eventually.

Can we get a separate tab for shipgirl enhancing like how storage has separate tabs for items and gears? Said enhancement tab will only have girls not yet fully enhanced and available for enhancing (not in action). Its is extremely troublesome to have to scroll past all the girls u have to look for a girl to enhance and then find out shes on action after u fill the enhancement tabs. I have to do this every 2 hours or so when farming even with 300 dock size, its very off-putting and time consuming.

naive cobalt
Can we get a separate tab for shipgirl enhancing like how storage has separate tabs for items and gears? Well, it doesn't have separate tabs for viewing and enhancing equipment. It's done in the storage same way ship enhancement is done in docks. What you proposed is just overcomplicated "filter to display non-fully enhanced ships". And that was suggested. @viscid halo

I know it's a UI suggestion, but just to bounce it off people: the siren bosses in Fallen Wings had those indicators when charging their special attack - could we get that for shipgirl bosses and their barrages (without the option to cancel the charge)? would it be useful to begin with?
knotty belfry
I had a thought like that, a gauge similar to what you'd see in RPGs when an enemy is readying their attack. Maybe it's coincidental, but I noticed some of the ships have a glint in their eye right before launching their attack. In any case, I've learnt to be more careful, analyze the pattern, and not be so gung ho up in their faces (for too long at least).

tardy iron
While looking up the Z Types on the wiki I found that Z23 and Z25 were sorted with Z24 which as far as I know has not been introduced into AL. It may just be I love my iron blood DD's but I would love to get the middle child in the game. They escorted many major ships as they tried for the Atlantic, one of which was none other than the elusive Bismark herself, so it feels like she should be added in some way.
Having the complete set of "Sisters of Iron Blood" would be a lot of fun and she could have a skill with that name similar to Z1's Z Vanguard that only procs when she's with both Z23 and Z25 so that it can't combine with Z1's skill.
I also found that Z24 and Z25 had a similar refit to Z23, I'm not sure if it was extensive enough to call a retrofit but it did increase there AA and give them their twin 150's, so it could be considered for the future.
tardy arch

I said something to consider for the future not soon, I know we have a long way to go till we catch up, I'm just looking at what could come later

I think PvP should have certain restrictions for a particular season indicated at the start of the preceding season (n ppl can prepare defensive fleet for upcoming season) so tat meta shifts in PvP is not wholy dependent on power creeps
ie
Only Eagle Union etc ships
Only Destroyer etc Frontline
Only CVL etc Backline
Only Common/Rare/Elite ships
Only ships of certain classes
Or even Only ships whose names start with certain letters, have certain hair colour, etc
Would make PvP more fun tbh cuz its getting stale now n they destroying meta w amagi uwu

"I wish we were able to buy X multiple times" is a feedback tho
Here's the thing tho
Even ignoring small things like drills, coins and plates - this pack is around 3.5k gems in value (2k gems + skin around 800-900 and 20 cubes around 600)
We can even round it to 3k if skin is bad and you don't like it
There's absolutely no way for that bag not to be one-time-only
Even ignoring everything but gems - it's still really good deal

Hello, I have been looking at the pile of T3 Destroyer Retrofit Blueprints that together is more than necesary to finish all known retrofits across all servers with all the extra stuff you can spend them on and a very small pile of T2 ones that I do not have even a fraction of required to finish the retrofits available only on EN and I wonder, would there ever be an option to convert T3 bps to T2, even at 1 to 1 rate? I could be farming W2 Hard to remove a chance to drop T3 blueprints but that probably also significantly cuts my chance to get T2 and getting one of those per day out of using 6 T1 blueprints will turn into months and months of work. I will probably end up playing this game for months either way so no harm done, but I'd rather avoid a strange situation in which I see a pretty rare T3 Blueprint drop after beating 6-1 on hard and groan because it is absolutely of no use to me.
jade surge
i would have to agree with @languid swift, i have the luck of getting lots of gold blueprints but cant use any because i have none of the other ones
tardy arch
i'm gonna disagree with you on that as people have been requesting craftable T3 bps for a while now. also you do know you can craft T2 bps right? it's a shitty 6 - 1 ratio but it ensures you can get them. as you said just farm W2 and you can craft the bps.
hasty mountain
please add a way to reskin tirpitz' torpedoes, it is kind of distracting when they look like enemy torps
ornate basin
that hk photo is literally my steam icon xd
languid swift
@tardy arch I do not want craftable T3, I want a way to use my T3 once I go over what is necesary to retrofit every retrofitable ship in the class. I can and will continue farming T2 ones, but every T3 one that drops sets me back an attempt that I have limited number of per day. According to my calculation to finish retrofiting just destroyers with a bunch I have retrofited already, I will need 20 T3 BPs and 229 T2 BPs. Considering I get one T2 a day on average when farming 2-1, as I forgo higher chance to get a T2 one by farming 6-1 to eliminate T3 redundancy, you can see its a lot of days for just Destroyers and there are other classes of ships in the game. And AGAIN its fine, I am not quitting, I just asked if I there could ever be an option to turn my higher tier bps into lower tier bps at very, very unfair rate just to accelerate this process a tiny bit and for my own morale because I dont want to start hating getting lucky with T3 bps.
tardy arch
again i disagree. many players myself included have had terrible luck with the T3 drops. being able to craft them would be amazing even if it has an even worse ratio like 10 - 1. downgrading them doesn't make any sense really. and as i said before you can craft T2 bps. just farm the early worlds and craft em. ya it'll take longer but at least you have another way to get them instead of praying to rngesus.
also keep in mind that we don't have all of the ships yet. you may be begging to get rid of your T3's now but before long you may want them back.
languid swift
Look, I am not sure why you keep thinking I want to craft T3 bps. I don't. I have over the 20 T3 bps I need. to retrofit all the Destroyers. Every single one I get beyond this point is ueless. You said you feel unlucky. Well, at the point where I stand getting T3 BP IS the unlucky drop now. I asked if there is a chance to make them useful for me again.
tardy arch
i never said you want to craft them. i said many players myself included have had terrible luck with the T3 drops. being able to craft them would be amazing even if it has an even worse ratio like 10 - 1
languid swift
And I am pretty sure I referenced a list from chineese wiki that includes all known retrofits so unless new are added, again, I have no use for more T3
ornate basin
I also have ass luck, on JP it takes me a month every time to get a golden drop, and I only get 3 tries a day
but I dont mind, its what I signed up for really
tardy arch
anyways i really doubt they'd let us downgrade them.
upper mortar
sitting here with 1 T3 BP after maxing out laffey and ayanami. I wish I had that much.
minor robin
Well, this doesn't apply to destroyer blueprints (for now at least), but you do need T3 retrofit blueprints for research...
minor robin
And while I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be implemented... I don't think it's a big enough reason to be implemented
For one, this can and probably will turn into a newbie trap if implemented
From personal experience, in like the first 2-3 weeks of the game when I was working on trying to get Leander kai, I was lacking T2 BP and actually wanted to trade my sole T3 one for it...
And honestly if I did it, I would probably be raging right now
Given how cruise BP is much higher in demand in the long run
And all in all, there may very well be future DD retrofit requiring a lot of gold blueprints
They could pull a sandy and suddenly throw a SR DD retro in our face
languid swift
You can slap a level requirement on using it so only people with bunch of playtime logged have access to this "feature". It's just an idea. I hate stacking on something that might be useful if they make another DD retrofit but for now it will just gather dust. I guess I will just stack them to 20 extra in case of dd sandy and move on to cruisers
The thought came originally weekly rewarding me an extra one, then I learned you can get them randomly through research as well and there's just not much use for them if you have too many. Maybe something else to use them on is a better idea. Tis the point of feedback I think, just bringing things like this to light
minor robin
tho frankly, I doubt any SR DD save maybe Eldridge needs a retro
They could also just throw a double elite rarity retro like the bunnies
But yeah you probably see my point already
But yeah adding some sort of level requirement may be useful I agree
naive cobalt
Nah, if anything, I think new player will over value T3 BPs, because "T3>T2" without actually knowing how many and what for they are used
And if they will do it and then don't have enough later on - it's on them
languid swift
That was my thought as well, why make shiny gold worse

It's like having level req on retiring ships because new players can destroy good ship without knowing they are good
Let them make mistakes, ships can be farmed, BPs can be grinded
We'll think about your suggestion with BPs

It would be neat having a training grounds where you can place 2 of your fleets to fight each other to see their strengths, synergies and weakness, like a self-excersice. I sometimes want to test how powerful/durable a shipgirl is before using them in battle/excersice.

Any plan on making this game available in more regions like Latin America? My amigo there tried this game with APK and he said it took more time loading than playing.
May gotta smuggle him through the border.
Not sure if the slow loading speed was because of using APK or his potato internet connection though.
naive cobalt
Nah, that's his potato internet
About the plans - licensing is such a thing we won't be able to tell you anything about it regardless of is it planned or no
Not because it's a secret, but because anything can go wrong
So they won't tell you about it unless official release is ready. And you'd know about it at that point

Taggable probably potato phone lol
I made a small upgrade from LG G6 to G7 last year and the game runs much more smoothly (in LA as well) - there is some loading here and there but it is not that bad
On Nox emulator it runs like ass cancer and I'd rather not fiddle with equipment as every single click will be like a 5-10 second 'loading' pause but then I don't give it too many resources to work with

Is it possible to remove purple blueprints from 10hr commissions for players of a certain level? Say 80? Its pretty much useless and very not worth the oil to be honest. i dont think the devs will do it, but its still a suggestion nonetheless
naive cobalt
purple blueprints
useless
yea, no
Just because you don't want/need them doesn't mean they're useless
viscid halo
how many lvl80 and above players actually lack purple prints by that level tho 
they literally seem to be endless.
and i meant useless as in the sense that its only 2 purple prints for 1.2k oil.
not the prints themselves being useless.

i see how the gems are priced. according to math, shouldn't the $79.99 option be x4800 gems and extra bonus gems 2600? (it's the same thing but it makes more sense this way)
ornate basin
you do know that often, spending more money at once, usually gives a bonus?
viscid halo
well, as most MT goes, they gib more as you spend more 
velvet adder
yes
ornate basin
the extra bonus gems are a first time thing only, so theyre just adding an extra 100 to the original amount of gems given
ornate basin
the extra 100 benefits anyone who buys it
velvet adder
well what i'm saying is it would make sense if it said "extra bonus gems 2600" instead of 2500 since it's priced like this:
$9.99 - 600 gems
$19.99 - 1200 gems
$39.99 - 2400 gems
$79.99 - 4900 gems (should be 4800 gems since 2400 x 2 = 4800)
ornate basin
but
the more you spend at once you would get a benefit (usually)
this one being rhe $80 pack
naive cobalt
Basically you suggesting for one of the packs to give less for nothing more but "number look better"
velvet adder
it's the same thing actually, just add 100 where it says "extra bonus gems 2500" which makes 2600
ornate basin
but its a one time thing
naive cobalt
Oh yea, I for some reason thought it's about "first time only"
Sure, I'll add it
But it's w\e
Nah, Kawa
One time only is 2x
ornate basin
bonus gems are forever?
velvet adder
yeah, i was just wondering lol it's literally the same, but would make sense that way according to math
ornate basin
well that confuses me but I am no longer confused

Wouldn't that be copyrighted material

oh right, I haven't listened to JnG2 ost yet
It would be

The devs would need to get permission from their devs and TL;DR cos of legal complications it's not very feasible.

Looking at the wiki page of the Crimson Echoes event, I found out that enemy ships' level actually exceed ours in EN, will the devs do something like lowering the enemy's level or leave it as cheat bait for another guy to use his Takao?
velvet adder
But I have utmost confidence in my shipgurls. 
Thx for the answer though.

I'd love to suggest more daily missions for level 85 or 90
Escort Cargo (item parts) - max 15 plates - 10% for t1, 40% for t2, 50% for t3
Marinetime Attack (skill books) - max 8 books - same % chances as for lv70
Urgent ops (tech boxes) - max 5 boxes - 40% for t3 and either (55% for t4, 5% for t5 - if dropped, max 1) or just 60% for t4
also 40-50% more money and exp than lv70 dailies
Of course the numbers are just my idea, but I'd love to have another set of dailies for higher level with more rewards and higher chances. These levels needs a lot of time to get (duh 
) so why not reward the no-lifers like myself?

I simply want more repair ship girls...
jade surge
I think if they changed enhancing the cranes to also increase the rate that it heals would fix them pretty good
15 hp to ONE ship every 5s for the best crane? unicorn without equip is a better repair ship at that point, i use them mostly for the extra ammo and the repair kits that heal far more than the repair ships can
minor robin
Yep.
jade surge
and to anyone who says having really good healing power is too OP, remember you are giving up a backline ship for the repairs, so repair ships need to be able to somewhat offset the loss of a major damage dealer

Is there a reason why the same gun is not grouped together? Other than it's equipable to different ships

Hey there, so a small QOL option for a performance boost i think would be neat would be the ability to disable the looping water texture to be just a flat color.

One thing that seems to happen when opening the EN AL app on my LG V30+ with earpiece plugged it, is that it seems to switch the headphone jack output to high gain. Is this a bug or a feature, or something along those lines?

graf's skin had a thing where she could stand on two legs as animation
but it got changed?
naive cobalt
I know some of her animations gor removed, maybe it was it

:/ I really liked it, the thing that replaced it is just a more extreme version of an animation that already exists
Can we get it back?

No
