I never get cubes on commisions much. Maybe 1 cube a day at most
sturdy rapids
as of the moment I havent gotten sheffield which is the ship i really want the most. But I just patiently wait until the last day of the gacha and if I dont get her by then I "might" consider spending cubes. In the end its all just luck and adding a p2w option just makes the core of the game, which is to be f2p friendly basically gone. But yeah, going off topic now
median sky
Last final thing, I guess I just hate waiting a year or more for a second chance.

@naive cobalt Is there an opportunity on Trello to vote against suggestion?
median sky
I just voted for the safety net option
fathom sandal
@naive cobalt For example, to vote against P2W suggestions. Or, those voting don't make sense?
naive cobalt
Well, first of all I don't think it's physically supported by trello to have "against" vote
median sky
I like the event ship shop idea personally.
Anyone can do that.
naive cobalt
Second - that's not the point of voting and would be ignored either way.
We enabled vote so people could show their support for something and for devs to see there's a demand for it
Not as a popularity contest
sturdy rapids
if the suggestions dont make sense wouldnt they not be added in the first place tho
naive cobalt
Yea, you could always bring it up here
true wave
And it should be kept in mind that even if a suggestion actually managed to get a lot of support, the devs aren't really obligated to add features just cause we want them
median sky
I remember back when the HDN event happened I got a bunch of Blancs and Vert repeats. With them I could trade them for ship event ponts to get a character I didn't have.
That sounds pretty good to me.
fathom sandal
The idea of exchanging identical ships from one event, to something else from the same event is quite good. I had 4 Blanc and 3 Vert. I never got the Black Heart and Purple Heart.
sturdy rapids
Tbh I dont see suggestions getting a lot of support cause half the time there's only 1-2 votes if there're any
true wave
That's mostly cause I think most people don't pay any attention to this channel, and aren't even aware there's a suggestion system they can vote for
naive cobalt
Because people don't know they can do it/can't be bothered
sturdy rapids
same, I got 2 verts from the purple rate up. Never been more pissed on AL before
median sky
I never got white heart so I could have traded my vert and Blanc repeats to get the white heart.
naive cobalt
anyway, please direct casual chatter to other channels

could Limited Builds list which classes in the general build pool are available in them?

https://trello.com/c/Ynr0BoHE/14-list-of-buildable-ships Wouldn't this suggestion solve that problem? Being able to see all the ships in the limited gacha pool
Or am I just misunderstanding your suggestion, PoW
normal vine
that would work as well, yeah - I would have been satisfied by just knowing the types already ^^

I can sort of understand why you would want to hide the rank screen until you have unlocked exercises; however I think it's a little confusing that you don't unlock the screen at the same time as exercises, but the level afterwards

can we at least have the real names for the event planes... Torch and Glowworm sounds memetic compared to Blackburn and Firefly (and besides British have good taste in naming planes)
also
I've been complaing a long time bout Avrora's skill name from a Pretty awesome skill name that is Historic to a Chuuni Russian Drunk meme...
also
wouldnt it be better if you use Belchan's original name instead of Belette (it sounds like a Bullet or Belfast Baguette which sounds memetic)
Memes are ok... just dont push it to the point it becomes cringey....
viscid halo
Belchan is japanese localization tho. Makes sense that EN will have their own localization.
ornate basin
Little Belfast is chinese localization as well
all different
rare jay
Belette's name is under consideration but we are not using Japanese honorifics in an English localized game so it won't be 'Belchan'
ornate basin
so in conclusion Little Belfast would be the original name, not Belchan
tardy arch
honestly i'm ok with belette now cause of it's second meaning. 
it's a great meme.

any chance a sort of trade in system could be implemented for gear skins? for example .... It’s somewhat taxing to see that I have 7 Torpedo airplanes and not a single bomber... so maybe a sort of duplicate trade in system would help alleviate when duplicate skins tend to get rather.... overwhelming...
like trade in 3 for one specific skin

1. New ships and content (events, equips, skins, retrofits, etc): Azur Lane EN is far behind other versions of the game, so before we can think about adding new content, we need to catch up with CN/JP. Even after that, it's a really difficult process, so it might be limited as well.

Just a question since we have the 2* variation of this gun. Why doesn't the UK 152mm triple mount drop from tech boxes? Can we have it drop?
minor robin
There are a lot of guns that aren't droppable or from boxes
And quite frankly they shouldn't include the trash triple 152mm gun from UK that's actually Belfast's gun
We already have the excellent prototype triple 152mm gun (which is the best CL gun in game) and it's a literal upgrade and later model of that gun
true wave
Prototype 152mm? You mean the Third Year Type?
fathom sandal
Belchan is japanese localization tho. Makes sense that EN will have their own localization.
Maybe then the English server needs to get an English voice acting? Personally, I get a little annoying when I hear kun, chan, etc. in the Japanese voice acting. but in the text I do not see it. By the way, this is probably my problem, but I associate Belette with something French. Especially, if I understand correctly, Belchan has no real prototype.
true wave
Wait I'm dumb, you must mean the Mk XXV, which I'm pretty sure we don't have, cause it's a research gun
naive cobalt
Belchan has no real prototype
that's literally just Belfast, but... small
but yea, it was noted that Belette is not the best variant
also "just get dub" isn't really a solution because how difficult and big this would be
and afaik they have no plans for en dub
true wave
Voice acting is extremely expensive, especially if you wanna get actually good actors
sturdy rapids
not to mention that those that're playing mobages are usually more used to jp voices anyway
fathom sandal
also "just get dub" isn't really a solution because how difficult and big this would be
I understand it. It's just weird to read about "Japanese honorifics" as something inappropriate when using Japanese voice acting in a game. I don’t see anything wrong if the Belchan ship appeared in the game, which doesn’t even have any prototype.
And yes, I understand that the Belchan is a smaller version of the Belfast ship. But this does not change the fact that Belchan does not exist.
static needle
if i didnt know jap
belchan would just be too chinese~y for me its like a chinese name lol
So if we localize it to ppl who are actually in english countries. Id prefer little belfast or mini belfast or small belfast. All sounds cute 
shy pond
Belchan FTW
Also, I meant the gun UK CAs get as stock weapon. Not the research variant. It is just weird not to have it
visual storm
Right so idk if this falls under "UI" or some shit but I don't see this idea coming up so I'll just ask anyway.
Can we have the commission er "Button" on this screen as well? I guess this falls under minor inconvenience but it gets real annoying very fast when you just want to spam runs for Event Points etc whatever you do. There's also the fact that people can waste a minute or an hour because they forgot about it being done or something.
Also feel free to ping me if anyone is coming up with a answer.
little pebble
That is an event page, I dont think they would add commissions to it since commissions are completely irrelevant to the event
neon kite
or maybe add a notification to the back button. Then again this falls under UI so 
little pebble
That seems better

yo, will we be getting more chibis in dorm or nah?
cause i kinda wanna use all the interactive furnitures at the dorms but the dorms always seem half empty, could use more chibis running around

yes, how about the second floor of the dorm?

Make equipment swapping less scuffed please, if I click "Load" why does it say "no spare left" I'm aware I'm swapping gear intentionally between 2 fleet 
like loadouts are done only half way, imo it should unequip the gear (if its same enhancement level ofc) from other ships forcefully to make swapping easier and faster/more convenient.
rare jay

winter stone
how bout adding "Show Duplicates Only"
rare jay
Hm...what purpose would that filter serve? B/c if it's for easier enhancing/retiring, locking is a better option I feel since that secures the ship for the user w/o them becoming reliant on a filter so that they don't accidentally forget to turn the filter on one day and then get rid of an important ship. And if you lock a copy of that ship, you know that the rest of dupes

mͫeͤ 飯ラム#0643 on the community server wanted me to say it would be good to allow ppl to put sisters as mascots e.g ping hai and ning hai or indy and portland. Maybe they add a limit of two though since fletcher's would not all fit as mascot
ornate basin
do you mean secretaries
this would pretty much allow tons of ships to be on the secretary screen because I believe every ship here has a sister (though there are some in their own class and some who have yet to have their sister ships implemented)
marsh glen
yes secretaries, but there would be a limit of two secretaries total and they have to be sisters
heady wraith
Aa.... Dev
You just forgot 1 thing
static needle
It would be great to be informed on some changes even in ninja patch like just now. Stored exp is now gone on all lvl 100 ships.
It maybe an unintended issue but it would help just to at least be informed its not meant to be so people wont bother farming in advance 
naive cobalt
well, it was never announced to be a thing in the first place
and exp overflow was added and removed like 3 or 4 times at this point
sturdy rapids
why is it being added and removed? is it unintentionally being added then gets removed?
naive cobalt
yes, because en version is based on jp build that does have this feature
afaik
so some things "leak" from other versions sometimes, like text or ui
or exp overflow
static needle
Three weeks it was here. No one told it was a bug either, not even an ounce of announcement what things are to be fixed or is going to be fixed. We might as well stopped using lvl 100s in event and stopped expecting exp will carry over. Not even apologies on their mistake
twilit saddle
it was never announced but also got left too long to be fixed that ppl started raking millions of stored exp 
static needle
We just wasted alot of oil for useless crap
naive cobalt
you shouldn't assume that non-announced thing is going to stay and wait for an official announcement
true wave
I assume if they wanted us to be gaining overflow EXP, used for for when the level cap is raised, they would tell us
naive cobalt
but I will let staff know about it, don't worry. I'm a bit surprised they haven't said anything myself
static needle
suggest we get apolooils so we can at least make amends with the wasted oil
twilit saddle
tbf its not that obvious to be not a bug, yea u could assume whatever they dont announce aint legit, but some servers got exp storage + lecture hall at same time while some don't
not like we can do anything bout it since its all gone anyway
static needle
Apolooils at least
grave kettle
oh i didnt know this wasnt the first time it happened. But still, leaving it there for weeks is more than enough reason to assume its intentional. Yes it wasn't included in any patch notes but they didn't say its a bug either.
velvet adder
serious question here: is this actually even legal
velvet adder
no i'm talking about the part regarding them resetting the exp that has already been gained
naive cobalt
still yes
minor robin
Why would it not be legal if it's a bug?
normal vine
yes, because when you first start the game, you have to agree to the EULA, which states that they can change stuff as they like without having to recompense you
velvet adder
because exp is an indirect currency gained by a purchasable resource called oil
naive cobalt
no, that's not how anything works
velvet adder
yeah they are covered on that ground then @normal vine
naive cobalt
exp is not a currency because you cannot buy it nor you can exchange it
normal vine
also, you gained that overflow exp due to a bug, so they could argue that it was ill-gained and you weren't entitled to it in the first place
velvet adder
exp is gained through the expenditure of oil, just like how ships are obtained not directly but indirectly through cubes
it is definitely grounds for potential litigation, it just depends on the clauses stated in the EULA but as PoW stated this kind of stuff is more or less guaranteed to be covered so just highlighting the issue, i doubt we bothered to read as much
velvet adder
That's some quality EN experience right there guys 
be careful when you use the word exploit, the issue was brought up on the day auditorium was introduced as a feature but there was no official statement given, so why would it not be understood as a feature otherwise?
and exp banking is a feature in other game versios
naive cobalt
that... went somewhere really really wrong at some point
grave kettle
it is legal. its just really disappointing. no announcement or anything it just poofed like nothing
naive cobalt
let's chill a bit
I notified staff about this whole issue including possible oil compensation
whether they do it or no - entirely their decision
velvet adder
yeah calm down i'm not saying there's going to be a lawsuit or anything, im just highlighting that this is quite a big issue and i hope they will give an official statement on it and clarify when/if the level 110/exp banking thing will be intended as a thing
naive cobalt
but I just want to add, while I don't know all the details, I do know that nothing was confirmed during this whole time because they were trying to figure out what exactly is wrong, because it wasn't consistent on their side

this falls under UI but can the home menu bar(dock, storage, etc.) be accessible even when in maps and such. Similar to FGO where you can access those as long as you're not in battle.

+1 for wishing they would communicate earlier that exp overflow was a bug, as i began raking in exp hard in anticipation for future content after not hearing anything for a week, in line with jp's release of exp overflow with auditorium release. Especially after the open transparent letter from azur lane regarding the sirius event, i was hoping they would reflect their intention to 'sync with jp'
naive cobalt
Unclear patch notes and things around that is a thing, sadly,but it is known.
So they taking steps to fix it, but it'll take some time

probably silly question but does the new UI coming soon will invalidate any old phone OS thats currently capable of playing AL atm? like android 4.0 and thereabouts lol

no info afaik
twin thistle
2 weeks and 3 patches to confirm and fix a bug, something is definitely wrong. it could've been easy fixed the day after when stored exp was fixed for auditorium. i don't understand why it took them so much time to fix or even announce that it was a bug and left us believing that it was an actual feature. i don't care if we lose stored exp or wasted oil thinking that it was an actual thing it's just that there were no measure taken over a long period of time with a lot of patches where it could've been done
minor robin
The devs could not replicate the bug, hence they could not confirm it earlier.
naive cobalt
They could replicate it partially
twin thistle
but the bug was in the game and everyone was experiencing it
naive cobalt
but not fully, so they spent a lot of time trying to figure out why and what's going on
minor robin
I mean, if the devs don't know how to replicate the bug fully, how can they fix it?
naive cobalt
point of "reproduce" is not to confirm its existence
But to see the reason and ways to fix it
twin thistle
so they also couldn't announce it as a bug either?
naive cobalt
no
shy pond
As a side note and I know this falls under the "Not now since we have to catch up", I would love to see an event about the Battle of Samar at some point.... And it would be hilarious to have USS Samuel B. Roberts as an SSR due to how much she did during the battle
twin thistle
i understand that it may take time to fix it but see no reason to not say that we didn't get socking exp yet and that was just another bug that already happened in the en server and was fixed
shy pond
I know.... Sad, yet I understand and I said as much myself
It is just throwing ideas out there
naive cobalt
@twin thistle I can only assume, but that's prolly due to the fact our EN team =/= dev team, so communication take time and they didn't know themselves
twin thistle
the unclear part was that we got at the same time with auditorium which require stocking exp and there was no reason to believe that the stocking exp from auditorium and stocking exp for future level breaking are 2 different things considering that the 2 of them were released at the same time
ok i can understand the miss communication as an excuse so it's fine
sturdy rapids
so did the EN team not know that it was a bug/was going to be patched?
sturdy rapids
understandable. Just another thing to add to patch notes I guess. Whether or not something is intended or if its gonna be patched out.
normal vine
would be nice if there was a way to access the EULA again at a later date - doesn't even have to be in-game, they could be put on the website, too
might even be better if they were on the website, so you can Ctrl+F for stuff, copy it over and such

use of the word allied is really vague in Mark of Sirius skill. it can be interpreted in several ways, 1. any carrier thats from the allied forces (so HMS, USS, so anything non axis). or 2. any carriers in fleet. as far as i know is applies to any carrier in the fleet so simply removing the allied word would suffice.

how is crimson axis relevant if you talking about "allied"?
name of factions are "Azur Lane" and "Crimson Axis", not "Allies" and "Axis"
there's no reason to ever assume "allied carriers" refer to faction
left sandal
historically speaking when i read allied i automatically think of the allied forces
jade surge
(They could change it to friendly since then the skills would say either friendly or enemy)
minor robin
Historically yes, except the "allies" aren't an AL term
As mention by Restart, it would've said "Azur Lane Carriers" if first option was the case
or, HMS and USS carriers
reason why friendly isn't used is cos longer words = more text which is already an issue for sirius skill
left sandal
the word, allied/friendly isn't there at all in CN text not sure about JP
jade surge
Technically they could remove the words "also increases" if they are worried about long text
left sandal
well there is also another bug related to the text clipping in skill screen
minor robin
that is known
anyways, i don't see why allied should be removed or changed
seeing it as ww2 terminology is more of a mental block if anything
the use of the word allied only makes it more clear if anything
left sandal
i see it mostly just as a translation error
jade surge
They could use the word fleet instead, that way there would be zero way to take that as a different meaning
left sandal
well CN text mentions fleet
naive cobalt
minor robin
carriers in the same fleet is longer anyways
jade surge
No just say fleet carriers and light carriers, literally replace the word
naive cobalt
well, I think they havr some sort of updated text for the skill anyway
minor robin
and fleet carrier is its own skill
left sandal
yea fleet carrier is a specific skill might cause more confusion
naive cobalt
anyway, we'll note it in case discussion comes to this
jade surge
Although the text box already scrolls so idk why they care that much about long text, unless it has something to do with the memory they allocate to each skill text
naive cobalt
academy
left sandal
its the text during skill leveling
minor robin
text clipping in academy ye
jade surge
Oh well then they should make a scroll bar for that too
minor robin
left sandal
yes that
naive cobalt
scroll bar for academy is not something translators can do
jade surge
Yeah but if the devs give it a scroll bar then all skill length problems will be fixed instead of finding a translation thats shorter
Cuz then another even longer skill will be made and we have the same problem again
left sandal
the sentence as a whole is a bit weird gramatically speaking.
using and twice in a sentence. using a comma after and. doesn't make it very well readable
jade surge
Thats cuz it says "also increases" when it said "increases" at the start, its redundant. Using and twice in this case is correct grammar
left sandal
does it only increase aviation against destroyers and cruisers or does the exclusive part only apply to the hit rate?
otherwise "Increase Aviation and hit rate of Carriers by x% against Destroyers, Light Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers." might work
jade surge
OH WAIT youre right, when it says "their hit rate" grammatically it cannot be talking about the carriers
Nah it would need to be split into 2 sentences
true wave
Why wouldn't it be talking about the carriers?
left sandal
because its a joined sentence about benefits to carriers but they dont have the same exclusive properties
true wave
And? That isn't grammatically incorrect
left sandal
might be but it doesn't say that i think it means
true wave
They don't need to both have the same exclusions to be part of the same sentence, it's one sentence because it's two buffs to the carriers
jade surge
Well we can understand its talking about the carrier but GRAMMATICALLY it cant because carriers is in its own preposition. Their would either be talking about the subject noun(understood this skill) or the direct object(aviation)
left sandal
adding a comma before and might do the trick "Increase Aviation of Carriers by x%, and also increases their hit rate against Destroyers, Light Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers by x%."
jade surge
Well it still doesnt fix the "their" grammar problem but i think only grammar nazis would care
left sandal
eh in the end text will probably be rewritten slightly to fit the academy skillbox
"Carriers will have increased Aviation by x%, and increased hit rate against Destroyers, Light Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers by x%." could also work
jade surge
So english teacher to the rescue, apparently "their" is correct so im just an idiot

is there a reason to why we get news of stuff we're gonna to get so much earlier then the actual release time? the exp accumulation patch was announced 9 days before it's implemented and even without content announced before it like mutsuki and matsukaze retros. now we get announcements for w11 and lvl 110 that won't be out before the exp accumulation patch. i don't really get the rush to announce stuff so much earlier then the actual release date
true wave
Are you saying you would actually rather not know about new features until the day of? Cause most people are quite frustrated that we don't get news until a week before something goes live
twin thistle
yes sure if u don't even include stuff u announce before a patch note in the patch note
what's the reason to announce 2 retros and the patch afterwards don't have them
true wave
Because they're part of a larger update, most likely
tardy arch
idk why are games sometimes announced without a release date to go with em?
twin thistle
the release of a game is not the same to copy paste content from jp/cn into en

clearly you missed my point
they announced it was coming. they never said when.

They have their schedule, just because they have all of the content already prepared doesn't mean it should all be given at once
The patch to add XP storing may even be an on the fly patch to low key apologize for accidentally turning on XP storing for 3 weeks

and what i'm saying is that the announcements are so out of place without any coordination behind and in a random order
tardy arch
they're not? again they simply announced it was coming. they never said when. not sure what the complaint is with that. "oh no they didn't give a release date"? "they announced something without a release date and it wasn't in the next patch"?
honestly how can you even complain about that
twin thistle
i can complain about that because i see no reason to announce stuff 10 days before 1st. then it never happened before that announced stuff was released in a weird order
true wave
An announcement means it's coming up, usually within two weeks, if not sooner, it's not like they're announcing stuff that won't be given until two months from now, just cause something gets announced doesn't mean it needs to be the very next patch
ornate basin
thats a patch note
ornate basin
every version announces stuff out of order as well
skins are usually the next patch sometimes they arent
new features are usually announced a week or 2 before they get implemented

I for one like that we are getting info early! It gives us, those thats worn out by event farming, something to look forward to! Early news is better than late news.
tardy arch
if misleading hype is the issue then oh boy does the AAA industry have quite the big one on their hands.
and no you can't really complain cause you're complaining about nothing. something was announced and it wasn't in the immediate patch. oh well? wait for it to release then?
and ya it's way better to get the info before hand so you're not surprised by it and you can start prep work for it.
twin thistle
i would be more interested knowing what event is next right at the end of one not waiting till 2 days before with a stupid letter saying we decided last second to put sirius in
tardy arch
as they said in the letter, them adding sirius in as a last second decision is gonna be a rare case from now on. they intended to not have her in from the start but thanks to the leak and people throwing a fit they decided to add her in.
i hope the devs don't bend as easily next time something like that hapens

i don't see why people really try so hard to defend people that screw up tbh. i like the game but the amount of bugs in it is increasing by the day and some never get fixed. the announcement and leaking of wc was also part of this

ok so amagi barrage still being bugged after 2 month of her release make sense (barrage in pvp when it's used by the defensive amagi) when it was bugged and fixed randomly in different patches

they can announce today for nagato to be coming soo or for essex to be coming soon, it's not like they are not gonna release them eventually but it also wouldn't make sense since both those ships are not in the next event
tardy arch
fr though. everything that's been announced has been released within 1-2 patches. (most of the time it is the immediate patch)
something doesn't need to be in the next event to be announced. navada's and oklahoma's retros for instance aren't part of any event.

i still don't see your point. it has no release date therefor it should have no expectation to be released soon.
grave kettle
just relax, all those "random announcements" will be in next real patch
twin thistle
so they announced that literally 2 weeks before
grave kettle
the one in march 10 is just a mini patch for daylight saving time its not a real patch
and yea 2 weeks before is still pretty standard
twin thistle
i can look around all the post in en al and never before something was announced 2 weeks before
tardy arch
when the lvl110 patch comes is 90% sure more than likely gonna be when the rest of the stuff they've announced so far will be added as well.
true wave
The next announced patch is specifically a minor patch for daylight saving time and to implement XP storing in preparation for the level cap, you can logically assume that there's a bigger patch coming up soon with the announced retrofits, and probably the increased level cap, maybe some mini events
twin thistle
so they announced a patch after the next one?
grave kettle
im p sure it happened before where they announced smth 2 weeks before

I did not say that, I said you can assume, logically, that there's another patch coming, because we already know we're getting the lv110 level increase

And regarding the earlier discussion around 7h ago about the Twitter Posts
I think informing people earlier is a positive thing
Sure they can improve the order, but it's not a major issue
It also takes pressure off of them, since they don't have to rush out tweets (that can be possibly miswritten).
Canuck did say they were rushing out tweets a lot, esp with the last event.
They did say they planned to change how they did their tweets, so it's a welcome change.
Especially given the complaints they've been getting about misleading patchnotes.
I see absolutely no such major issue with it that they should not do it.
I rather them release the tweets over time so the tweet team can properly do their work and give us excellent patch notes and tweets.
I understand how you feel about it, but please also be understanding and reasonable towards them as well.

Very highly doubtful since the game is already made for mobile devices and most people who use PCs just end up using emulators

Technically speaking, it should be possible for al to have a web based application like some famous mobages in Japan. It would need so much inprovement and would open the game to more vulnerable threats like hacks and botting.

They can easily release a pc version if they wanted to since the game is made in Unity. But as already mentioned above, pc users already have the option of using emulators.

SK C/28 buff proposal
So, SK C/28 is a unique gun, can only be used by deutschland class CA, but it doesn't sync with the deutschland skill pocket battleship because it's AP (deal 75% to light armor). Maxing pocket battleship only give you a 1.25% increased damage to light armor, very negligible (0.75 x 1.35 = 1.0125 = 101.25%). It's only good thing is AOE damage (just like BB shell AOE), but it's rare to have bunch of enemies that are very close to each other in PVE. It's a unique gun but, there's so much tradeoff, for a unique gun that is, and many people used the 203mm mounted gun for deutschland class. With that said, here come the suggestions:
- boost the base damage. the simplest way. assuming deutschland class are intended to be a burst type (and the pocket battleship are intended to counter bad modifier on light armor), this is reasonably the best way to counter that tradeoff.
- change it to HE, so it sync with the pocket battleship skill. may need to be rebalanced though.
p.s. : the only good place to use SK C/28 is in PVP, when fighting a slow vanguard (at least one CA, more CA the better SK C/28 does)
minor robin
That's not what's wrong with the gun
The problem with the gun is what's unique about the gun
It arcs
While it ignores shields, it also has a tendency to miss a lot
It also doesn't help that the Deutschland class have good barrages, making a slow gun even less viable
It actually works very well on boss dailies, since enemies there have shields
The Deutschland gun has use the moment it isn't limited to their class
Which is a pipe dream since the average CA doesn't wield what's as good as BB caliber guns
Like a lot of niche gear in game, while they arguably need a buff, there really isn't a need to do so
It's like history, some gear is just better than others
I don't see the harm in implementing frankly, but I don't see the point of it either
quick blaze
there's no actual point really, it's just...
why not make it better if it's only used by 2 ship?
maybe it's just me wanting a better deutschland gun....
like "c'mon it's a unique gun"
minor robin
Remember the gold twin 410mm sanshikidan gun exists
Unique need not be good
There's also the xf5f skyrocket in the coreshop
naive cobalt
If anything - that's argument to buffing those as well
Not every piece of equip has to be best, yes, but rn it's like only few things in class are considered even good
minor robin
the xf5f rocket is the fastest fighter/plane in game, 410 gold the only BB gun that can kill planes and the highest theoretical DPS
the 283 sk/c28 arcs
naive cobalt
highest theoretical DPS pls, so Big 7 is suddenly good?
minor robin
i mean, kirishima has an actually good sanshikidan barrage, so it's not the ammo itself that;s bad
naive cobalt
anyway, I'm leaving such suggestions entirely up to you
minor robin
they have their uses at least

just remember what I told you before in DMs

if anything i'd support making the deu gun available to more ships
it's easier than fixing the gun mechanics, but it makes little sense historically

Personally, I think the issue expands slightly beyond just loading screens, especially once subs get added, a SFW toggle would have a broader use than limiting it to a loading screen selector

what restart told me was that whats sfw and whats nsfw would be subjective so....

That's fair, though I don't think there's any argument over Albacore's status
sturdy rapids
true, i personally want being able to add custom filters/tags to loading screens
naive cobalt
skins/ships are a bit different issue from loading screen
rare jay
What SFW filter would you even mean for beyond loading screens?
naive cobalt
while you can just not use said ship/skin - you have 0 control over loading screens in public and such
and also what exactly is the suggestion? to make sfw version for every ship and skin? to just give the toggle to black them out like KR does with Albacore?
true wave
Probably the latter, to be honest, but yeah, I understand that it's not really feasible to do something that's so subjective for every person, both in "what is nsfw?" and how much responsibility is on them for just avoiding any ships that could get them in trouble while in public
knotty belfry
Sociocultural orthodoxies are a large part of this, and it suffices to say age from what I've seen here, but I realized a lot of the comments for this assume that other people care what is on the player's already-obscure phone screen. There is overwhelming support for the bathing art, and I wasn't shocked because it was quite obvious what content to expect from the moment I opened the app. Funny enough I've always tilted my phone downward on some of the screens featuring the starter girls because I don't appear the type who'd be into such things...but nevertheless, the sense of guilt, taboo and what other people might think is imagined by oneself.
Whilst I am open choosing the loading screens, I think something to consider are the consequences for such ideas. A few questions spring to mind: Would people subsequently complain of an imbalance of art themes? If content is toned down in future, does AL risk losing out to competitors? If nothing is done about the loading screens, are the people suggesting filters/family-friendly images going to stop playing?
naive cobalt
I don't think "being able to choose what loading screens to view" would have much negative consequences.
ornate basin
I really doubt they would complain honestly over a sudden imbalance of loading screens after something they did for their safety

ive never seen anyone react in that manner, but I definitely see how it could happen

Just so we're clear, the suggestion is specifically "an option in game to choose which loading screens will, or will not, appear, so as to avoid ones like the bathing screen from popping up at an inopportune time"?

I lurk sporadically and I've seen this topic brought up a few times, so I thought I'd give my view lol. I think being able to choose the screens would be neat. We'll see. As for what happens after, I've seen some comments here that make me not count anything out. 👍

coral ivy
A bit late to the party but I think straight up letting the players choose what loading screens are displayed isn't a great idea as they'd choose whatever fits their likings the best. Sure this sounds great from the player's view but from what I've seen of the loading screen images so far, they seem to be encouraging fan-art as well along with having various images show up to keep the players interested instead some default screen.
So to me, this idea seems to be moving away from the original concept of displaying various fan arts that they've uploaded in the game to show to the players, some of which have even been voted on by the community.
What I'd like to suggest as an alternative, is that there should be two sets of loading screens which you can pick from, in settings or somewhere:
- Containing all the loading screen images available in the game.
- A set of loading screen images which filter out those images which might be questionable to have on a user's screen in public.
In this again, the selection would be made by the game staff so there may or may not sometimes be images that should be / should not be in the second list but that question could be raised in the future and polls or something can be done to get a public opinion on what should be done to such images.
I think an idea along those lines caters both to the need to have safe loading screens as well as lets the game show us various art-works as it seems to have been originally intended to do.
minor robin
Unfortunately Zuyi, I have to disagree.
What is NSFW for one person may not be NSFW to another
And as a mod you should know that better.
coral ivy
While I agree entirely with that point, I'd like you to give examples of that in this case
Because the whole game would be NSFW to some people and in that case, playing in the public in and of itself is a foolhardy thing to do, so your point doesn't make much sense without good examples
true wave
It's not like every single player is going to choose to hide the fan art ones, they would still be in the game, it's literally just a button in the settings or somewhere to allow the player to only be able to see which ones they want, or filter out ones they don't want anyone around them seeing
coral ivy
If I had that choice, I'd just pick 2 images out of the 10+ in the list right now, personally. 🤔
minor robin
Zuyi, just what are you on about? It's not like the fan arts are being removed from the game here.
Sure you can say that having such fan art is important, and I agree, it is.
However why would the average user care about that?
coral ivy
Whether your intent is to filter it to remove NSFW or not, this is pretty much enabling players to pick out any image that might be their favourite from a big set of images, and that does not seem to be the purpose of the loading screens.
minor robin
I disagree.
coral ivy
Your agreement or disagreement hardly matters though. It's a feedback and you're obliged to note it.
minor robin
To most players, it just serves as eye candy, and loading screens are literally just place holders.
There is 0 loss in giving them the liberty to choose.
How does the artist know if they deselect their artwork?
They don't.
true wave
You can't force a person to like every loading screen added to the game, I personally think the one with the foxes in the sweets shop is kinda low quality compared to the others, but it's my choice whether I choose to hide it or not, and no one would ever know
Which I wouldn't cause I still think it's nice
minor robin
And there are other ways to promote art anyways, as their instagram now exists to do it
Jp twitter has been promoting art as well
What is the loss?
coral ivy
It's funny to talk about your choice when the game so far literally hasn't given you choice about it.
This whole suggestion begins from the need to remove the NSFW loading screens and my feedback is addressing to that only.
You guys are changing it into "it's fair to let me select what I like or not, so let me!" feedback, which is fair too but it is a different topic.
minor robin
I will bring up the same answer.
What makes you think the devs/staff deem as NSFW will be the same as what the player does?
Sure you can say we have a poll and all, but it makes it unnecessarily complex
coral ivy
i don't think so? i mentioned that at the end of the original post i just made
the devs dont think having pingpong butts showing off on our screens is a problem anyway, but if they literally got so many feedbacks asking for options to disable nsfw loading screens, they'd take the hint and try a bit to give out safe images
its almost as if you assume the devs have no idea what nsfw/sfw is when they're making a game like this
minor robin
You're missing the point. Different people have different perspectives on what is considered NSFW. Some people maybe more picky, some less picky. And assuming your feedback was implemented, we'd have more people coming in saying, hey art A isn't NSFW, why is it on the filter or hey art B is NSFW why is it not on the filter?
There's too many potential problems that may result from your solution.
There is no loss if the players can decide for themselves.

It's a legal issue
It isn't so simple as why won't they want to have a collab
Who knows after all what goes on behind the scenes
They also legally own all the Nep content we have in AL
So AL staff can't just run it again on a whim

I assume the situation is simillar to the collabs WoWs have ? The Arpeggio anime collab was a one year contract. The event ships won't be proposed in sale again, they can't even add voice lines to the quick message system as the seiyuu aren't available ; I'm already amazed AL EN version got a go at the event

vagrant scaffold
I can confirm that what Ender said about collabs is true. We're doing our best to bring the most requested collabs to the game, but we can't do anything if the other side of collab in not interested in cooperation, or they simply can't do so for other reasons (like they're too busy with something else atm). Another obstacle is the legal part. Just recently we finished signing all the papers necessary for the use of intellectual property (for another collab), and this took almost 3 months, because there are many legal parties involved, like Yostar, Manjuu, Yongshi, and all other parties from the other side, everything has to be verified carefully and approved by the respective owners. The negotiations about collab contents and schedule itself took only two weeks at most. I hope this will help understand better, about what is happening "behind the scenes" when it comes to collabs

New(ish) here, did not see any feedback on trello requesting server transfer.
An option to move an account between servers for gems (as a guess ~500-900). Must have been playing the game for at least 30 days and be confirmed. on FB or Twitter, can't move servers again for at least 90 days, maybe the price to move again goes up.
I'm on Washington, most of my friends are spread out on other servers, if features are added that allow us to game together, we'd probably move to a single server so we could friend and guild up. I heard plans for guild incentives, that's why I'm asking this 😃

Thanks! Transfers came to mind because they allow game reinstalls across devices with verification, I'm wondering if that system could be adapted to copy/paste data game states to a different server (barring name/UID conflicts, which could just force a change) instead of just another device 🙃
and if it isn't feasible, then they have something to point at saying "we investigated, can't do it "

considering both already have 2 fully fledged skills, it's pretty unfair to give one more outside of a retro

can we stop getting ambushed in zones we've made safe
it doesnt really make sense for ambushes to happen while an area is safe
if you want to keep it spicy then you could just have danger levels increase over time if you dont keep clearing the area
tardy arch
constantly needing to clear the area to keep it safe sounds like a chore. but ya being ambushed while it's safe is a bit weird. it could be a HM only thing since the normal maps still have trash nodes spawn.
woven harbor
you could just set it real slow like 1 danger level a month after a month of not clearing it or something like that
tardy arch
that still seams like a chore to have to manage. i haven't touched worlds 3-5 in a few months and i don't plan to go back unless i need the gear from one of the maps. it's not that big of an issue since i can steam roll them but for later maps like 9+ having the danger level go back to max would just be really annoying.

It would be nice if the merit shop had better items for sale, at least half the stock at any give time is T1 T2 and T3 boxes that nobody who has been playing for a significant amount of time would want (especially the T1 and T2)

Imo the shop is for new players and experienced players alike so the current items show a balance between the two.
tall birch
It's really not a balance when there's at most 2 out of 10 items worth buying once you have Eldridge and South Dakota
dusky jackal
I think it would be cool if in the collection tab you could sort the ships to only see the ones you don't have yet so you can see quickly the ones you don't have and where they drops there.
Also in the same tab on the retrofit section I'd put the ones you don't have visible but greyed out(the same thing that happens on the collection tab when you're seeing the ships you still don't have) so you can see quickly the retrofits you still didn't do instead of switching tabs for every ship to actually understand which ones you're missing.

It's one thing when it's in the news, when it comes to the game. Another thing is when unscheduled technical works take place. And I would like to be able to prepare to shut down the servers. Some, for example, don't follow the news. And a timer somewhere on the screen would be useful.

@naive cobalt I've received "Perfect" on the alliance launch ceremony twice so far (and a lot more times small launch ceremony) without ever getting the ship reward. If it's really not bugged and there is an actual chance of receiving ships from these commissions confirmed by the devs, then may I suggest they try find out why it's displaying "Perfect" when it's not supposed to? Literally every other commissions gives the secondary reward when "Perfect" is displayed except for these type of commissions
naive cobalt
It displaying Perfect is the bug
I already brought this issue to staff more times than I care to admit and we discussed this at length and all the details.
fathom sandal
@naive cobalt Well, let's think about it. Recently, we were told that there will be maintenance in 10 minutes. It is unplanned. Since it will start because of the bugs that need to be fixed. That's exactly what a timer would be useful for such cases. I don't know how they can add it. But as far as I know, the larger MMORPGs have this functionality. I didn't play other mobile games, so I don't know if they have this functionality

Can we please never join the daylight saving or change the ingame timer ever again?
It only brings problems, if it was supposed to help with nightcommissions time, all you have to do is increase it's duration.
Our server is supposed to be a global server we have EU, SEA, NA all together we dont need daylight saving to just make people remember new timers when they dont have daylight saving on their country/state.
Also please like last time people that had 0 pvp tries now have 10, they have at least 50 extra points over people like me that hold 5 tries then got 5 from reset, it's really unfair and our PvP season should be reset for fairness.
People was also able to get benefits from a few other bugs.
So once again please dont change the game clocks ever again.

Can we make this game permanently reset at midnight UTC? We have been through 2 broken DST maintenance now and we really don't want another one in November. Maybe we should make a public poll on whether we want to switch to this time or not.

Well it'd be a lot easier just to not observe daylight savings time in-game but the time issue will be brought up w/ the staff to discuss it

thanks
UTC never observes DST fyi and it's the standard reference timezone for offsets
normal vine
I already suggested that (i.e. switching the server clock to UTC) last time, got shot down with (paraphrased) "but they're in America"
velvet adder
yeah me too, don't worry
people said it used to be US only, but now there are no excuses since it's global and like half of them are outside of US
some live in SEA with no DST, some live in Europe with different switch dates, or some even live in southern hemisphere with inverted switches
so basing the server time on a timezone with no DST would be the easiest to reference on

Wondering if we could add an option in the dockyard for affinity & available ships with retrofits. Not that it’s a big deal but it’d be nice ^_^
sturdy rapids
for retros its been suggested to have the ships show in collection like how ships that you dont have appear, basically just darkened image
wicked vortex
That’d be awesome too. I would like the affinity thing though.
sturdy rapids
that'd be nice, like tapping them makes them bounce but also show the affection number or something
tardy arch
you can check your ships affinity by tapping the "stranger" "friendly" etc icon.
true wave
I think they're looking for it to be shown like stats are when scrolling the dock
digital sun
or a way to sort your shipfus by affinity
sturdy rapids
the problem with that lfire is that you have to manually select each ship to see what their affections are
and sometimes you aren't looking for specific ship's affection, you're looking at your whole dock and see who has the closest affection to 100, is over 90, or whatever else you're planning on grinding for. Its too tedious and time consuming to check each ship plus if you've been collecting ships thats at least over a hundred ships and if your collection is over 90%(and youve kept them) thats over 200 ships
aint no way in hell im checking all 200 of those ships without any proper filter/sort
wicked vortex
Yes the thing I’m talking about is in the dockyard without clicking each character or scrolling through them all
sturdy rapids
oh i misinterpreted and thought "dockyard" was "backyard" back when i mentioned tapping to show affection number 😅
wicked vortex
No sorry, I’m talking about when you scroll through all your ships, I’d like to be able to see each affinity without having to go to each and every one. Does that make sense ?
sturdy rapids
oops, teehee
oh dw, i understood once you mentioned dock. It makes perfect sense. I'm just thinking if its in the trello yet or not cause i remember someone also mentioned that before

how does sorting work when ships has the same level?
in dock i mean, cos it doesnt make sense to me
is there a suggestion already about this
true wave
It's sorted by rarity when the level is the same
grave kettle
and when ships has same rarity?
true wave
That I don't know
grave kettle
yea thats what dont make sense to me
its not exp stocked, not by names, not by date
true wave
I assume it's probably by archive order
grave kettle
its just a pain to look at
true wave
That's what it looks like skimming my dock
grave kettle
yea prolly archive order but its just ugly xD
especially when you're searching for a ship 
true wave
It's probably the best way to do it, though, I'm not sure how else it would organize them when levels and rarity are the same, in a way that wouldn't be hard to look at
grave kettle
by default names ofc
true wave
I have doubts that would actually look better, I feel like it would look about the same, just a differently organized mess
grave kettle
archive order may as well be random, who else knows that
heck i bet even devs dont know which comes first in archive
true wave
The bulins do
sturdy rapids
name, ship type, date, cant think of anything else aside from archive order. I guess name would be nice too since if im looking for say eldridge ill just look at where's E or those close to E
grave kettle
yea i dont know why they didn't put the most useful "ordering" - names
sturdy rapids
they probably just left it as default which is the archive order. Can't say I blame them but making it by names would be nicer agreed
true wave
I'm still not sure it would make that much difference, unless all your ships are the same level, since it'll still look like a mess, but it wouldn't be worse
grave kettle
oh it would be much much better i swear. i have 35 level 100 ships and it will only increase. p sure some players has more than that so yea. archive order is useless if you're finding for a certain ship.
true wave
That doesn't apply to every player though, there's no perfect solution for every player, but that's why the sorting tags exist
grave kettle
and again, the most useful sorting option is not available
true wave
But if you need a specific ship, just use the tags to cut out the other ones, nation, class, rarity
grave kettle
im not even sure why you're against this lmao
true wave
I'm not against it, it just feels like a solution to a non-problem, and sorting by name and scrolling through the dock is probably still slower than just hitting one nation tag
grave kettle
its a qol suggestion, i dont see any demerits for anyone. you say its a non-problem but im saying its a problem for me and im p sure many others will appreciate this change
rare jay
So basically, the ability to sort shipgirls in dockyard by name?
grave kettle
that or make it so that when ships has same rarity/levels, it will be sorted by names
rare jay
Well for the sorting option, that has been suggested https://trello.com/c/h4vE39Yu/31-add-sort-by-name-option but for the auto sort by name, I'd only be hesitant to add it simply b/c some people may already be acclimated to the current sort for shipgirls in their dock. And it already sounds like the sort option will solve your problem, no?
grave kettle
oh cool. yea fair enough

Please fix the pvp scores or just reset the season because its not even fixed in that last patch For these reasons: First,the current top 1 is 40 points higher than all too sandbaggers in this server with them not losing a single round which is empirically impossible. 2nd: a direct testament from etherstar and me getting some extra charges after reset which wasnt removed in the last hotfix.

Is it true that there is a 20% bonus for the fleet attacking in exercises? If so it should probably be removed for balancing.
knotty belfry
There is a 20% increase in attack power. It should not be removed as it gives lower-level players a better shot at getting merit where they'd normally have no chance, and it's not like higher players don't benefit from it themselves. Besides, if the stats played out as displayed, it would be the same few people hogging the tops spots for god knows how long.
normal vine
in regards to https://trello.com/c/CFEbvj69/406-defeat-5-x-fleets-mission-rework - small fleets are especially problematic as in addition to going out of your way and fight them instead of medium or large fleets, you also have to go out of your way and play lower level maps to get them

Just a question that i feel i need to ask, and Id like whichever admin or Azur Lane representative that answers to please @ me in the reply so i can see it.
Does Hood even exist for medal exchange? Or is it literally just every single other permanent SSR build ship? Ive been playing this game since mid September. Thats 6 months. With 15 day cycles of the SSR ship in the exchange, thats 13 or 14 swaps (theyre up for 15 days). I have seen Enterprise twice, Takao twice, Atago once, Illustrious once, Prinz Eugen three times, and that god awful curse and horrid excuse of a SSR ship, San Diego FOUR TIMES. And two of those times was within 15 days of each other!!! I need ZERO of any of these ships, but I have yet to see Hood even ONCE. The one ship i have yet to collect, and she both refuses to build for me AND seemingly doesnt even exist in the Medal Exchange. And with all the Limited Builds ive done for events in the last 6 months, the odds would be I should've seen her at least once. Nope. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Hood does not exist.
Tell me I'm crazy, or do something about the random nature of the Medal Exchange's SSR selecting algorithm and put it on a set cycle. You have the randomness in the ship building gatcha. Do you REALLY need it in the Medal Exchange too?! I honestly doubt Im the only one who has this problem and who has voiced this complaint. And i bet it isnt just with Hood either, but with other SSRs too.
normal vine
@scenic lodge Hood is available in medal exchange, yes - though I haven't seen Atago yet ¯_(ツ)_/¯
so it looks like medal exchange isn't global but per player ... and you're just unlucky
scenic lodge
From my understanding and from other friends of mine who play, the Medal exchange is via server. Myself and 1 of my friends play on Avrora. We always have the same SSR available. Our other friend plays on Sandy, and theirs isnt always the same as ours and is often times different.
sturdy rapids
^its via server
normal vine
that's strange, cause I'm on Avrora, too
sturdy rapids
also im in avrora server but ive never seen atago now that you mention that atago is a perma ssr now. I think hood existed like once iirc cause i think i got her from exchange
normal vine
and I've seen Hood a few times, but no Atago
sturdy rapids
i only saw her like, very early AL
scenic lodge
The exchange for the next 15 days is Enterprise. I havent needed Enterprise for like.... 4 months now.
normal vine
I think I had her two weeks or so ago
sturdy rapids
i need atago, literally only perma ssr im missing
normal vine
@scenic lodge exchange isn't about what you need, though
sturdy rapids
but having some perma ssr never be in exchange is just too much tho
scenic lodge
So what you are telling me is "sucks to be you, youre just unlucky, deal with it and accept youll never get Hood" is that right?
sturdy rapids
iirc there was a suggestion to cycle the medal exchange so that it goes through all the ssr at random and once a ship has been selected it gets remove from the pool
so eventually it would give us every ssr per cycle
sturdy rapids
yeah thanks
scenic lodge
Ive gotten so many copies of the other permanent SSRs that ive started scrapping them for medals because i cant even use them to get the double enhance points.
San Diego is now an automatic scrap for me. Ive lost track of how many of that pest Ive built.
normal vine
that's what she's for, though - medals
you don't use SSR dupes for enhancement, only for LB
there's enough white units for enhancing ...
scenic lodge
.... she is a waste of good cubes.
Yes but my point is what am i supposed to use the medals on when the one thing I could use them on and would like to use them on....literally has never shown up in the rotation in almost half a year?
normal vine
buy items and Bulins?
I buy T2/T3 books and T3 plates, and the occasional gold Bulin, as well as purple food
scenic lodge
Dont need items nor bulins. Both are handed out regularly enough just by playing the game.
normal vine
especially with T3 plates, it does speed things up a lot if you can buy a 5 or 10 pack of them instead of farming, though
sturdy rapids
^if i have enough medals i buy t3 plates too
scenic lodge
Thr last ship i bought was Unicorn because she wouldnt build and wouldnt drop. And that was 3 months ago. Seemed to be the catalyst though and ive since built at least 4 unicorns.
At one point i had close to 320 medals.
Well anyway, clearly the problem with the SSR rotation in the Medal exchange has been pointed out, and from someone on my server no less, yet its doubtful it ever gets addressed. I'll resign myself to no longer getting my hopes up nor expecting to see Hood at any point in the future.
Thanks for the response. 😒
sturdy rapids
Yeah I dont see the suggestions to be added anytime soon, at the very least until we catch up to other servers

As far as I'm aware regarding exchange SRs

I don't understand/know why myself, but that seems to be the case
sturdy rapids
ok then... is it cause she's the only SR in light aside from sandy?
minor robin
Enterprise came for the first time in Avrora end November iirc, and she was specifically mentioned by intern to have forced her to be on up
sturdy rapids
so is it too far to ask for atago to be added in the rotation since she's technically perma now
minor robin
So it took more than 3 months for Enterprise (who was the last SR not on Avrora) to get her medal exchange
There was a suggestion to not make it totally random and make it come via a fixed cycle yes
And to hit the nail on the coffin
For the advanced difficulty beginner rewards, you can even get hood for free
And about half the major event gachas has Hood obtainable (FW and CE for EN, and whenever Mikasa and Nagato and French event pop up)
Hood will eventually appear, it's a matter of time
And frankly, I think a big issue is that after a certain point, the exchange SR becomes completely redundant for a lot of older players
Hood has appeared at least twice in half a year for Avrora
So please do not confuse your anger with facts
All I can say is wait patiently.
It's stuff like Atago, Pow, and in future, Shou, Zui, technically Monty and Centaur too that I agree are issues
I will add this to the Trello

cool thanks, we got an evergrowing list of SRs so itd be nice if the medal exchange adapted too 🙏🏽

continuing the topic about sorties requiring dock space regardless of whether they drop a ship or not here instead of #bug-reports since it's not a bug:
oxide Today at 3:54 PM
My thinking is "if a sortie is known to not drop a ship, then free dock space should not matter", which applies to cargo fleets and daily raids
Restart | Kisaaspite Today at 3:55 PM
it's a "punishment" of sorts, not "well, we can't put anything new there"
because you can go over the dock limit with missions which rewards bulins
so it's an indirect way to protect the game from entering an invalid state
this only ensures to have 1 free dock space when there are 4 weekly missions that reward bulins + purin already, not even counting event missions like 3-starring B3/D3 in WC to get Musketeer
which is why I see this game logic as a crutch of sorts when the game could check dock space availability when clicking the "Collect" button
naive cobalt
if you can just sortie ignoring dock limit - there would be no point in having one
and you can just play ignoring its existence
missions are limited, even if for some reason you decide to collect all the rewards only after having full dock - so what's next?
I don't really get what's your feedback is
nocturne panther
the thing is that I can't ignore dock limit when the game points that to my face and blocks from progressing
even if the stage supposedly doesn't drop ships to begin with
naive cobalt
yes, that's... the point
if you talking about specifically daily raids - you should say that, instead of "sorties"
nocturne panther
I mean, don't cargo fleets and daily raids count as sorties since they consume oil and give both commander and ship exp?
and missions that count my victories accept them
naive cobalt
well, one term explains your point, while other is "technically correct even if confusing"
anyway
nocturne panther
thanks!
I guess I should have phrased my feedback as "make every action that can increase ship count in the dock check free space and error out when 0 available"
which both removes the possibility of going over dock limit at all + lifts the current restriction on stages that don't drop ships

i want to give compliments to the staff responsible for the new patch notes. very thoroughly and clearly written.

Feedback: Please, implement a system where drop an event's ship SR, after do an amount of summons as there are in others games, like Grand Chase and Epic Seven, where after 200 summons they give you a ticket "SR Target".

people talk about spending money on cubes, using 9000 cubes, and getting nothing
grave kettle
even if they put a crazy number like 300-400 rolls or smth like that, it'd be much better if theres an upper limit. missing out on event ships is so sad it can make a player quit in some cases
sturdy rapids
oh definitely, especially if its collab ships cause who knows when and if they'll have a rerun

In answer to the question in #game-news I do like the new patch notes format, but now I just need Discord to be able to display all the images on a multi-image Tweet. But that's on Discord
But the "page 1 of x" bit is very much appreciated

fix the commissions with timezones. let me stop getting 8 commissions in the middle of the day
knotty belfry
I think it is best to look at ways of how we can procure the best outcome because 1. It is unlikely this idea hasn't been discussed during development or by the communities prior to EN existing, and 2. I often see players lament on using 120 cubes (6 x 10 builds) which is...not a lot when you consider what you can gain within a given timespan. Players should try to help themselves first before holding out their hands in entitlement.
"Safety net" won't work because AL's model isn't like the other games you could apply it to. Imagine having to spend 40 bucks on gems to draw less than 40 ships; that is what tends to happen in other titles, alongside dismal rates. The loss aversion is ever-present so people need reassuring their hard-earned money won't go to waste. With AL, the gacha currency (free) is thrown at you from all directions, which in itself is a deterrent from spending money. The chances of getting what you want diminish with the more ships you obtain (something like the more happiness you have, the less you can receive).
Safety net lies directly beneath outright purchasing a ship imo, as well as a slap in the face to players who obtained their ships through the means we have rn, it also defeats the purpose of limited builds and makes the prizes seem lesser knowing that everybody else is going to have them regardless. This idea might see the player feel validated for a brief moment but it will in no way enhance their experience of the game with everyone else being hoisted to the same extent. It is quite possible to lose the incentive to spend and play further through lack of challenge, variety and limitations (speaking from experience).
Don't know about "9000" cubes but I have spent 400+ for Graf Zeppelin, the first ship I really wanted. However, the cliche rings true....that's gacha. If people get caught in their feelings trying to move on to something else, they're going to quickly be reminded how good AL made it for them.
grave kettle
60 rolls (120 cubes) is too few to use as an example. That is why im proposing some crazy number like 250-300 rolls (500-600 cubes). This is irrelevant for people who don't save cubes before major events and that's their fault if they dont get what they want.
That suggestion is just to prevent ridiculous streaks like 500 rolls and still nothing. Cos obviously, anyone would not want to experience something like that.

Suggestion: if possible, make it so that we can pick which voice packs to download. I feel like downloading voices for skins that you don't own feels a little space-wasting.
minor robin
Something like that has been suggested before
Though I think the current one was more off turning off specific voices
earnest compass
Not entirely sure if that can be implemented easily.
minor robin
Yeah but there's nothing wrong with it.
Just means it'll have lower priority
I know danmemo had something similar but that was deleting voices for individual cut scenes
I'll add it anyways
Oh it was suggested before
earnest compass
oof
earnest compass
Ah, good idea.

text patch notes?
obviously they write it out, so can they copy and paste it somewhere as well? sometimes it is a hassle to load the images on slow internet, and zooming in could be avoided
naive cobalt
it's being worked on
clear heron
Someone could also just transcribe the image in their free time in the interim.
visual storm
Btw I noticed something off. I have Akagi, Kaga, Amagi : Juneau, Ayanami and Aurora for daily PVP runs but only Ayanami, Amagi and probably Aurora are gaining the EXP Overflow from it. Any idea for that? Also yes, They are all Level 100
naive cobalt
only pve sorties give overflow exp
visual storm
Oh. Well, that definitely gives the answer. Thanks
shy pond
Can we get some love for us poor buggers in Europe? The night comission timing set for the region and such? I do not mean PVP resets and other similar things as I know the issues with that
The main two things that would be nice would be: Daily bonus and night comissions
naive cobalt
It is server side and cannot be changed on player-by-player basis
some ways to solve it were suggested tho, most realistic one being just keeping night commissions available all day long, but you only able to do each once
sturdy rapids
iirc one suggestion was to have all the commissions avaialble per day and once you pick a commission its crossed out from the list until it refreshes the next day again
naive cobalt
that's literally what I just said
sturdy rapids
you only mentioned night commissions, im talking about every commission
shy pond
Great idea except for the 10h comissions I say
normal vine
there was the suggestion to spread PvP refills more evenly over the day (e.g. every 8 hours, instead of 12-6-6), but it looks like that didn't make it into the trello
ah, there it is: https://trello.com/c/E2CbVUG0/298-adjust-pvp-attempt-distribution

a question/suggestion regarding parallel spread torpedo bombers (Barracuda and such): would it be possible to have them prioritize the lane either their carrier or the most enemies are on, instead of always going for the bottom lane? I've lost count how many times they unloaded all their torpedoes on the bottom lane - and completely missed the enemy, because they were all mid/top
minor robin
Improving auto AI
Though I think I know specifically what you mean
It's the very targeting itself even on manual
Is that what you're referring to?
normal vine
yes
the planes' AI - I know they changed it a bit for drop bombers so their attacks wouldn't go to waste, would be nice if torp bombers could get it, too
minor robin
Yeah I remember that patch was all the way back in September
Hmm lemme see if anything similar has been mentioned
There is
Although this one focuses on prioritising elite (aka the ship girl enemies)
normal vine
I mostly use carriers against bosses, so that would be great :)
minor robin
But that's for sakura torps specifically
So tenzan and ryuusei
I'm almost certain you also mean barracuda as well right
Since I've also seen barracuda whiff them
Current one
normal vine
ah, yeah, I mean British torps
minor robin
Hmm
@naive cobalt should we make a separate card for this or just edit this one
(Backread a little)
normal vine
but they need it even more, I think - Sakura torps at least target an enemy when dropped, British torps just charge straight ahead
normal vine
this is what I mean - most of the time they drop like this (all on the bottom lane)
in this case it was good, because the boss was there, but she could just as well have been on the top lane at the moment, and they still would all have dropped on bottom
I don't think I've ever seen them drop on the top lane - either bottom only, or 2/3 bottom, 1/3 mid
minor robin
Yes sir kisaa spite

It would be nice if you could make this area of the map when in a sortie to not select map tiles. Sometimes when I want to switch to a different unit, my phone touches below the switch button causing my unit to move out of the position I wanted it to be in.
