So I sort of consider it another set of locks. Also... why is it so easy to unlock a ship?
#game-feedback
vestal olive
minor robin
It isn't unless you're half awake and randomly mashing buttons without caring
In which really any matter of safe guarding wouldn't matter
It's pretty easy in FGO too frankly
Especially when you can max unlock a whole lot of them at once
Sure I guess there should be a confirmation if you want to unlock a ship
And pretty sure that has been suggested before
vestal olive
Then again the unlocking doesn't really appear in the profile of the character so its not really much of a problem. But yeah, confirmations would be nice. Also, which one has been suggested before and no one listened to it?
minor robin
Unfortunately
A lot of feedbacks are difficult to implement
This one would be a huge challenge in particular
vestal olive
The extra lock or better notification?
vestal olive
Is it difficult to make the small pop up bigger and have more harsher colors?
minor robin
The pop-up doesn't even have a confirmation
The idea is to change the pop-up to a confirmation box
vestal olive
Aye then. Question, has the AL staff ever checked some of the suggestions from the survey, mostly gave up now and just looking to train Leanders all over again
minor robin
I'm sure they do
But if they don't nothing we can do really
They're in the process of implementing the data file fix which was a suggested feedback

velvet adder
I really want there to be a European option for the timezone related stuff. I usually wake up around 7:30 and stuff resets at 1AM and 7AM. 7AM is way too early to wake up before and 1AM is way too late for me during the weekdays, so I always miss out on one shop reset and a lot of potential stuff I could be buying. Same with overnight commissions appearing in the morning, it just sucks for us. I know this has been suggested before, but is it really so hard to make another option for European servers so we get our 3 daily shop resets while keeping a healthy sleep cycle? Or maybe change the 12/6/6 hour resets to 8/8/8 hours? This is explicitly the English server not the American server, so it really sucks how the US gets preferential treatment when a neutral option would be very easy to implement
minor robin
Majority of the player base is American
Hence such suggestions to change timezones have been rejected.
tardy arch
i don't think the US is getting preferential treatment, the game did release for the US first after all. i just think they didn't think it through enough when they released the game for EU. also the game runs on a single timezone, not multiple. so having an option to change it is impossible.
minor robin
It's not a matter of is it difficult
The game itself is not built to run on multiple time zones
You'd have to do a major overhaul and risk breaking the game
I'm sure you've seen what happened when they moved back the server by 1 hour on a system that doesn't support day light savings
velvet adder
Im not asking to change the timezone of the server, introduce a second time zone to check intovolutarily for Europeans where you get stuff later, but at least at the times where you are actually awake so you get them at all
minor robin
As mentioned, impossible
tardy arch
also the game runs on a single timezone, not multiple.
minor robin
Unless they redesign the game from scratch
nocturne panther
I'm from Eastern Europe, but I think I would not want options like these even if the game client and servers can be patched to support it because I have already witnessed how messy can dealing with different timezones become -- see DST issue that is still not fully fixed
minor robin
Your suggestion is good, just not possible
velvet adder
Its definitely not impossible to change a 12/6/6 reset schedule to 8/8/8. How the hell would that mean a completely redesign from scatch? How does this affect the artwork? Events? Combat? Voice acting? Anything other than the reset itself? The notion that a redesign of the entire game would be necessary is ludicrous. Same with the overnight commissions. if you dont want any more timezones you can simply make them last 24 hours to have a fair and neutral solution for everyone
minor robin
Having multiple timezones risk breaking everything from medal shop, PvP resets, guild shop, dailies, commissions, hard mode, skill training, lectures
If you were around on the 10th of march
Every one of those things broke when they shifted the timezone back by 1 hour
Also daily missions which broke for a whole week
tardy arch
also i'm pretty sure changing the resets from 12/6/6 to 8/8/8 would screw over US players as well. (idk much about time zones so don't @ me)
minor robin
The 24h urgent commissions has been suggested before
velvet adder
Then dont have multiple timezones. Do 8/8/8 hours of resets, fair and neutral for everyone in the world. Literally all 24 timezones would be treated equally. And the most simple solution for the overnight commission is to have them run for 24 hours, meaning that regardless of where you are in the world you can decide for yourself when you sleep.
minor robin
And when they converted back to standard time earlier on in October, it was even worst
Shops resetted every single second, making the game unplayable
I will add to change the reset to 8/8/8
But bear in mind the game was never built on that system
So it's extremely unlikely to be implemented
velvet adder
Okay thanks. I guess this is the best you can do for me so thanks for relaying the feedback
minor robin
velvet adder
this is just some small feedback, i think they should add in like guild buffs or add guild wars because at this point i find that having a guild is kind of point less, i am not saying it is bad i am just saying could they add in some new things into the guilds because we have to spend like 300 gems and we don't really get any other things than that
warm night
Can i suggest to have the game to make it able to attack flagship directly in story mode, (like in hard mode) for normal mode...🙏
velvet adder
Thats not gonna happen lol, the only reason why you can do it in hard mode is because its limited to 3 times a day. If they implemented that the game would become trivial.
minor robin

Feedback regarding the upcoming BB AP changes. PLEASE do not make this buff Amagi more (her barrage does not use the plunging fire mechanic, thus should not be eligible for this buff). If it stays as described, it could have very severe consequences to game ballance, potentially requiring one on Amagi's skills to be changed
minor robin
err
as far as we're aware, the changes listed are incorrect
and they are supposed to only apply to AP BB shells, not barrages
@shy pond
or at least, it's inconsistent to changes in JP/CN
shy pond
Will it apply to Warspite?
minor robin
not her skill
as far as JP/CN is concerned, it only applies to AP shells from main gun fire
it is very unlikely EN will get a different form of it, more than likely a typo or misinterpretation
shy pond
Thanks for the clarification. Although I have my doubts with Warspite's skill actually using the plunging mechanic, but....
minor robin
ws skill counts as a barrage so it will not benefit from the correct changes

normal vine
why the heck do they do a massive update right in the middle of an event, kneecapping everyone outside America who's not asleep at that time? I'm very much not amused
rare jay
Well I mean not all Americans are asleep at that time and plus there is no good way to go about maintenance w/o someone getting hit by it when you have a global release.
normal vine
@rare jay my point is, they could have waited until after the event with this
cause I'm loosing one day of the event now ...
tardy arch
ya they could have done it after the event was over. but i don't see how it'd be kneecapping people outside the US. the maint is for everyone so even night owls in the US get screwed.
normal vine
you're not wrong, but I'd say the amount of night owl players in the US is probably negligible - most US players probably won't notice the maintenance because they're fast asleep during that time
while it's the other way around in Europe and Asia
rare jay
I understand that it's a bad time for a majority for people outside of the US, but I'd ASSUME the reason why they're doing it in the middle of the event is b/c they wanna get this patch out this week and already have something planned for a patch next week after the event ends. But that's just pure speculation from me.
Pls, I wish I had insider information 
naive cobalt
kneecapping everyone outside America who's not asleep at that time? not like they can drop update during THEIR night either
normal vine
uuh ... wat
tardy arch
no matter what time they drop the update someone is getting screwed.
normal vine
midnight to 08:00 is very much Yostar's night
viscid halo
midnight server time is 3pm for yostar.
naive cobalt
they're active during those hours
normal vine
@viscid halo so what you're saying is, they could easily pull that whole thing forward 5-6 hours and start at 9 or 10 am?
naive cobalt
you do realize maint lasts for 8hr, right?
when do you think it'll end if they move it forward 5-6 hours?
normal vine
around lunch for me
viscid halo
it will end 6pm for them and for me.
nocturne panther
let's make 24h maints so that no timezone can be in an advantageous position
normal vine
what I'm saying is that maybe they could move maintenance around so it's not always the same people getting shafted
rare jay
Why go away from standardization of it?
naive cobalt
server is PST time, so maint happens based on PST time.
normal vine
even better idea would be to get a second set of servers so they can prepare the update on one set and then switch over with minimal downtime, but money ...
tardy arch
like i said. no matter when they drop the maint someone is getting screwed. whether it be the US, EU, or both.
normal vine
I'm just saying that maybe they could try and not always screw the same people - or give us another day of event at least ...
nocturne panther
I think what PoW meant is to shuffle up maint times so that everyone gets screwed evenly for fairness
naive cobalt
...
maint as it is rn ends at 11 PM their time
nocturne panther
like in, either no one or everyone
naive cobalt
if your suggestion is "they should work at night because it is "more fair" - that is really dumb suggestion
viscid halo
i think pow meant for maint to start earlier, not later, aka they work on maint during their office hours.
normal vine
if they're working till 11pm, they are already working at night - they'd actually benefit by doing the update between 9am and 5pm their time
viscid halo
forward means earlier 
normal vine
pull forward = earlier
push backward = later
;)
naive cobalt
ok, probably me not knowing about using it like that
sorry
but anyway, there's so much it can be moved around like that
viscid halo
imo, they should base the server time on their largest player base. which might or might not be US of A.
naive cobalt
which is NA
tardy arch
lol
normal vine
nah, server time should be based on UTC so we get rid of that stupid DST buggery twice a year
naive cobalt
viscid halo
do we have stats for that tho? Apac has more people than NA 
naive cobalt
We don't. They do.
viscid halo
ah, that confirms it at least.
tardy arch
also ya i kinda agree they should stop doing the DS change. cause both times now it's broken the game.
naive cobalt
nah, server time should be based on UTC so we get rid of that stupid DST buggery twice a year yes, but that's a different suggestion which I already told them about.
Maint should be based on server time and server time currently is PST
viscid halo
i believe i also suggest UTC during the first time change.
naive cobalt
Moving it around all the time just creates confusion
If it's constant people can get used to it and at least somewhat adapt schedule to it.
normal vine
(maintenance doesn't have to happen at midnight server time, though)
anyway, I originally just wanted to voice my annoyance over losing a day of the event due to the maintenance
tardy arch
also i'm not suggesting to change the servers timezone to UTC. i'm just saying don't do the DS change. it's proven to do more harm than good.
naive cobalt
Also if you move every maint around in time it'll create "well, THEY had maint during important event and WE had it during boring downtime, so WE lost more time"
and garbage like that
nocturne panther
One could argue that devs already issued maints that didn't happen at midnight PDT, but those were emergency bugfix maints, so those shouldn't count, I guess
naive cobalt
anyway, I originally just wanted to voice my annoyance over losing a day of the event due to the maintenance well, they need to add new content, event or not. I'm sure they have reasons why it cannot wait till event end maint
tardy arch
people are gonna complain no matter what they do really. 
normal vine
@tardy arch EU today decided to ditch DST by 2021, so maybe that'll get things going elsewhere, too ... fingers crossed

@grim flame Sorry but we're not taking pacing feedback in this channel
tardy arch
as i've said before ik shit about timezones. i've always thought those were different timezones. 
viscid halo
So, when Hatsushimo released, I made the same feedback. If a "limited" bote is planned to be perm shortly after she was "limited", it should be clarified when she's released, not afterwards. I personally used less than a hundred cubes for her, but other people like my friend spent gems to get her due to her being limited, only to be smacked in the face with the fact that just 1 month after her being "limited", she's made perm.
naive cobalt
yes, you already made that feedback back then. it's not a good situation and yes, they should've say this before it, not after.
but they can't get back in time and warn about this beforehand at this point
viscid halo
I know, Im just saying this for the future releases. its not in the trello tho
naive cobalt
it already happened, they cannot fix it just because you repeat it 
rare jay
Future ideas have been instead of making them "limited" https://trello.com/c/jse2FwV1/436-adding-older-unreleased-monthly-log-in-ships-for-en
viscid halo
the monthly ships are not my issue, my issue is for eg, they say yat sen is limited for a week, everyone go spam build for her cuz yay limited bote, then a few weeks later, hell nah, she perm brah.
nocturne panther
I interpreted devs' reaction to the "make Hatsushimo perm pls!" thing as "we had no idea players wanted her that much, so we couldn't announce any concrete dates as we had no plans to do that to begin with"
I'm not sure if I'm missing details or not though...
viscid halo
im not asking the devs to fix it btw, im just hoping that this type of thing wont happen in the future.
for eg, CN/JP add monthly ships about 2 months after to build pool. So if they intent to release monthly ships in the same way in future, which i do not mind at all, just add a disclaimer that the bote will be made perm after 2 months or whatever period they intend it to be. It is so that the players are duly informed and can make informed decisions.
naive cobalt
that's the same on EN iirc
and Hatsu being one of the rare exceptions and not the rule
viscid halo
again, the issue is not with the ships, but with the situation. 
naive cobalt
and I'm saying this situation is an exception
I think I forwarded this to Intern when it happened first time anyway
viscid halo
i do hope so, thanks kisaa.
naive cobalt

Probably not something related to the EN version, but would it be possible to contact CN to give us a proper story? I just can’t get invested into any of the events because the premises for the game is completely absent. As far as I know it’s just collecting cute girls

random idea: it might be nice if we could use Quick Finishers to speed up skill learning - e.g. 10 QF takes off 1h

I hope someday we get more squad party space. I mean until now we only have 4 teams space to sortie. It would be better if dev add more like at least 2-3 more due to increase of ships.

#gameplay-help is the channel, and if you don't get a response after a few minutes, you can try pinging an active game guru, IIRC.
But keep in mind that people tend to be speaking already, so don't expect an immediate response.

small change suggestion: please make the "Max" button when building ships based on what you can currently afford (can still have a limit at 10, but when you only have enough for 5, it should only go that high)

Can we do something to accelerate levelling ships? like new feature of 100% exp boost or something which can significantly speed up progress?
viscid halo
you can get a ship to lvl100 in about 3 days quite easily tho.
jovial shoal
i mean past 100, also no it takes a good amount of time making them sit in dorm before they're ready to sortie
viscid halo
well, im running a lvl30 ykk in 10-2, they really do not need to sit in dorm.
jovial shoal
that's only for yukikaze's case
viscid halo
exp boost is just more of a "convenience" feature, its hard to see it being implemented, as its quite easy to lvl girls up in this game.

So... Looking at the starters, is there a chance of a slight buff to Javelin's FP stat? My reasoning behind this is that she has 25% better torp stat than Laffey and Niimi, but on the other hand she only reaches about 60% of their FP stat. Couple this with her first skill being defensive instead of offensive and even after applying the QE buff you only get her torpedo to some 135-140% and her FP to 68%. While her reload becomes quite good at that point, reaching some 110% of the others her lack of offensive abilities leaves her as slightly weaker than the others in the category
shy pond
Understood, however i support my point with stat evidencd
shy pond
The evasion being ridiculous is the main issue as this is counteracted later on..... and with Javelin having her main armament efficiency down from the others she still feels slightly below average
minor robin
she is the best evasion based DD out there, and only second in tankiness to yukikaze (in terms of DDs)
each starter has a niche they excel in, except laffey, who uses reload to be good at everything
z23 has guns, aya torp, laffey reload, jav eva
quasi merlin
when are they adding an option to remove all the effects from PVP that block ur hp bar and shit
shy pond
While I understand this, she got powercreeped the worst out of the starters (As you mentioned her I will mention Yukikaze). I am suggesting giving her +10 FP or extra gun efficiency, which would alleviate the issue
quasi merlin
she has like queen elizabeth and other shit
no one even uses z23
if anything ayanami and yukikaze made all of them worthless
shy pond
Since the other three have categories they are masters of. Sadly Javelin does not feel as a proper jack of all trades. And what you are mentioning, Phlote.... I explained above the issue with QE buff.
minor robin
javelin masters in evade
quasi merlin
laffey z23 and javelin all just tools to unlock ayanami
minor robin
objectively speaking, yes javelin is the most screwed of the 4
aya laff and z23 are all excellent ships in their own right
shy pond
Yes, exactly what I am saying....
quasi merlin
no aya is better than all of them
shy pond
Could this be added as low-priority? (Look at the ballance between the starters)
quasi merlin
theres no balancing, they intentionally made ships better than others
quasi merlin
sure she isnt
minor robin
Like i said, each has their own niche
shy pond
Aya is really good, but absolute crap at dealing with mobs
minor robin
Torpedoes do not rule the entire game
Aya being the best is more of an opinion here
quasi merlin
dats y theres tier lists where shes not tier0
shy pond
Awww..... Ayanami's skill name changed..... I liked it better the old way. "The demon" sounds out-of-place. "Supernatural" was far more poetic in my opinion. And the community knew that name from day 1.
naive cobalt
I remember the fact that it's connected to her nickname, but I cannot find it rn
shy pond
Aww..... Yes, it is connected to her nickname, but that skill name is so out-of-place!
naive cobalt
Well, it's a matter of taste tbh.
I personally felt like "Supernatural" had absolutely nothing to do with her or her skill
shy pond
I honestly like how the wiki translates them. Applies to Saratoga too
ornate basin
game translators cant take translations from the wiki
naive cobalt
there's more than one way to translate something
ornate basin
and on the wiki her name relates to a demon too so, im not sure why it "seems so out of place"
shy pond
I would be willing to call the skill just "Demon" Because "The Demon" is honestly extremely out-of-place
And the one on the wiki is still miles above the one in-game.... Just voicing my opinion
TBH if there was a way to rename that skill on my local game version I would do it
minor robin
Wiki will be changed to reflect EN eventually
demon is used because all of the correlation to her action at solomon, and the correlation between solomon and demons
naive cobalt
Also her name in JP is literally that
https://i.imgur.com/tO55HXy.png
minor robin
she even calls herself demon in her voice lines
shy pond
I know. What does not sit with me is "The demon" as we all know that that partcular topic is repeated throughoutthe Sakura fleet
As I said, this is a minor issue but it seems like using THE for that particular skill is out of place as I said
clear heron
Without the "The" it'd be a bit more ambiguous if it were referring to the title, so I think it'd be better this way as is.
strong wren
Could we have Avrora's old skill name back? I really liked that in EN they decided to not mention/glorify the revolution, which kinda fits her character as she was mutinied and her captain and crew were all killed in order to use her as a base for the revolutionary forces (against her will probably).
I'd understand if it remained, but just as a personal request

Or just Sara. Serves the purpose of making her name more ... "diminutive."
Another concern I personally have.: The change in Yukikaze's skill description.
"I will never, NEVER sink!" fit her cocky 'tude perfectly. I, and I'm sure others, would like that back.

Translators do take feedback into consideration, but there are some hard rules that they have set
violet shale
I really wanna know why the TL team wont use honorifics. if it's because they dont want to confuse players then they should realize that only weebs who are already into the anime culture play this game. of course I have no evidence to back that up but I highly doubt anyone not already into anime would bother picking this up based on just looking at images and small bits of gameplay on the app store.
ornate basin
personally my take on it is, its unprofessional
putting this job on your resume and having someone review your work, and see half ass translations for a game in english is a bad thing
rare jay
@violet shale It's b/c it's a English localized game. Japanese honorifics aren't in the English language and you don't leave non-English words in your loacaliztion text. That's their stance.
@tidal spear It's been suggested: https://trello.com/c/IxBA7aFi/40-allow-furniture-to-face-more-directions If you'd like, upvote it to show your support for it
violet shale
well clearly it wasn't their stance from the get-go cause Saratoga literally has a line in the game already with the translations having -chan in it.
at the very least make it a decent translation and take out the 'sister' in front. -chan does not translate into sister so either keep it as Saratoga or shorten it to make it cuter or something but dont add a random word that doesnt make sense with context.

I'd like to have an option for auto aim when shelling , the auto button is far away
static needle
if youve formally studied translations, its common sense not to bring honorifics and verbal tics. its not stupid, its a rule zulul
rare jay
@cunning delta The game already auto aims for already? Expect for BB/BC main gun barrages
ornate basin
they said they dont want to use auto because its too far away
clear heron
You can adjust control schemes in game for now, at least.
minor robin
The stance was changed over time as it wasn't so clear in the beginning
Once some time had passed, they could focus on other details like these
ornate basin
I thought they got a new translation team
minor robin
It's partially cos of that too yes
But think about it, these are relatively minor, they would focus more on at least translating everything to English first, and then polishing later on

hi , im sorry if this already suggest or not ...
but i like to give feedback or suggest add gift feature in game ..
i have friend that financially struggle and kinda sad to see him cant buy any dock space , skin or whatever ..
after all , he's who introduce me to this game ..
So i can buy gems then give it to him as token of gratitude ...

You could just... Buy him a gift card...

Forcing the gems on him in game may sour your relationship too

A lot of people (specially the ones that don't read twitter's patch notes or just don't remember it) gets confused about Craven's mission, they can't find it and ask where is it. This happened last month as well with Cygnet's mission.
So, my suggestion is to add the date in ( ) of when it starts(this one starts the 4/1). It may be late for this month, but it would be good for the next time this happens 
naive cobalt
Good idea, I'll let staff know
hardy nymph
If this training thing is ever done again, maybe let us see the higher tier missions so we dont say
Craft all our weapon boxes directly before going to the next difficulty level that specifically says to craft a weapon box
But that's just an example
alpine crown
It's been covered before, but yeah. some of the new translations are less than ideal. Ayanami's "Supernatural" becoming "The Demon" is... to be polite, eh at best. Supernatural was a good localization. At least I hope the Mahan's Baptismal Flames don't get changed to some lame 1:1 word-for-word translations. I saw the Avrora skill rename though and the cleanup of unnecessary clutter in Yukikaze's second skill (the "never never sink" bs). Well done. I'm looking forward for more of that.
naive cobalt
Ayanami's "Supernatural" becoming "The Demon" is... to be polite, eh at best. That is more correct translation and is a reference to her nickname.

alpine crown
You know what, when I view it all in one go instead of viewing it individually in-game (especially since I didn't know every skills changed), some of the translation changes are actually nice. Some still sounds awkward though. Minor nitpicks that can easily be ignored such as Wargod of Solomon and Nightmare of Solomon, which could use a "the" in there (Wargod of the Solomon/Nightmare of the Solomon). Both Sis Penn and The Demon though I'm going to probably just have to learn to live with.
nocturne panther
In Lecture Hall, the ship choice menu uses "Dock capacity: xxx/yyy" where:
- xxx is the number of ships that can attend a lecture;
- yyy is the total dock space.
It uses that to show how many ships are eligible for this day's lecture.
In my opinion, the wording and the total dock space number are not very useful for this purpose as Lecture Hall has nothing to do with changing the ship count, so it doesn't need to care about dock capacity.
Instead, I suggest that it use "Available ships: xxx/zzz" (or other similar wording) where:
- xxx is still the number of ships that can attend a lecture;
- zzz is the amount of ships you currently own.
This ratio makes more sense and might also be used for bookkeeping purposes without having to make a roundtrip between the lecture hall and the dock.
Screenshots for illustration:
In the ship choice menu in Lecture Hall:
The dock:

That would go under UI changes
Which we not taking rn
because this text almost certainly is just generic text that is used in every window like that and cannot be changed separately at least as is
nocturne panther
Oh, I thought that's a minor enough suggestion to patch in before the new UI which who knows when is going to arrive.
Since it's not a bug and changing it is costly, that's understandable.
(though the Retire menu doesn't have that generic text, not sure if a bug in this case)

Does this game have a pity timer, if not, could you add one? Pity timer is a programming device that helps player acquire high lvl drops after a prolonged period of low lvl drops in order to keep the player motivated and engaged in the game. They don’t guarantee a high lvl drop, just increases the odds of getting one.

it's either the flag ship or the front most ship in vanguard
stone marsh
wait is it in the settings

it has always been like that
unfortunately, skills that activate at the start of battle tend to render it inaudible (foxes, amagi etc)
maybe should make for an option to turn off skill lines

About what @normal vine suggested, the Comment button could be considered part of UI and thus not accepted but the Like button being dysfunctional seems to be a bug or just a long-term oversight since the button actually exists there? Would be really convenient to be able to like from there, I agree with that.

Pretty sure that the 'Like' on the details screen is just for visual feedback since the only place (at least that I've found) to like ships is on their comment page

I can’t even get full master exp on some dailies anymore. Can we have a new set of dailies that’s geard to people that have several 100+ ships? The only real benefit I get from these things anymore is gold and need more of that for gear upgrades on alt ships and retros. The plate daily is the most outdated one. It worked when we started out having ch5 and ch6 as highest, but now these things really feel outdated
Why is the plate daily any value anymore when I got stuff like this to deal with?
the skill manual one is the only one that really still holds relivancy, but be nice to have something a bit harder to gain more exp from
minor robin
It's a bug iirc for commander exp
And also I don't see a reason to replace part dailies
It's easier to do dailies than farm
And implying others don't have parts issues
Having new dailies is one thing, no reason to replace another though

Change Akashi's questline (hardmode clear) to at least 30 any hard mode clear instead of 1-5 maps.
winter escarp
See where it says 10, 25, etc etc then 70? Needs higher lv ones this point, not asking for a “replace”
this is not really relevant to high level players anymore, the boxes and weapon plate ones, esp the low rate of orange ones, i only make use of orange ones for orange gear for ALT SHIPS(3rd line, even secondary ships are pretty maxed gear wise) these are no really helpful to established players anymore, so im basically asking for higher lv ones with more relevancy for well established players such as myself, these are really outdated by this point when you reach this point of the game and farming ch 11 for ships.

Pvp suggestions, reduce the number of exercises from 10 to 5 and double the merits and points earned. To make exercises more interesting have prototype bulins be a random drop
rare jay
Reducing the attempts could easily cause some backlash from players(just look at when HM was reduced from 6 to 3). Some enjoy more attempts to try out new fleets, losing one but knowing they have even more attempts, etc. Also, it would really mess w/ how they would refresh throughout the day since it wouldn't be at an even number.

@static needle I think 10 rounds takes too much time, especially since in some cases you could be watching two Enterprise go back and forth in a Lucky E battle. Only to quit the battle and fight them again. 5 battles is a bit more streamlined. And for someone like me, who think the pvp is boring but I’m only doing it for the merit, faster is better

https://trello.com/c/E2CbVUG0/298-adjust-pvp-attempt-distribution
this one does not make sense .. well I get the issue, and I agree in a sense I would not mind an adjustment, but i STORNGLY disagree with the suggested fix, having 5 resets per day but 3 attempts just to get the same ammount of attempts is extemply shortsided because this means you would have to check in more often, invaliding the problem in the first place
you would have to do 2 resets a day, 12 hrs apart to really aduest this but then you are left with something uneven, you would need to accpet having 16 per day or having one reset be 7 and the other 8
that or allow more overflow, like being able to hold 15 attempts

Not sure if it's the right place to ask about this but, is it possible to make the Android version run the game better? Some Android phones may even run it well while my Samsung Galaxy 8S+ runs it poorly.
static needle
If you mean S8+ then the game should run properly, I ran this game on a way lower spec android phone and it worked fine. There maybe a compatibility problem with the OS you're running or with your phone.
maiden sail
I know the OS of the phone is known for it's bad game optimization and it still haven't been completely fixed. It runs perfectly on my older iPhone 6S+ and I do see why. I just wondered if it may be that game isn't optimized for Android but I see it's because the phone itself sadly.
nocturne panther
from what I've seen in #tech-support the game is currently not optimized for android 9
and works perfectly smoothly under android 8.1 or earlier
maiden sail
Ever since I got the phone, it has been running in at least 46fps. I checked by using the phone's in game recorder. The first OS was Oreo that I got with it. Turning down settings to minimum on resolution etc didn't have any effect except 1-5 frames.
static needle
Rather than here, go to #tech-support to try fix it. According to mods, the UI update that is being made by the devs right now will include more optimization for android. But on your specific case, i think it's really your phone
maiden sail
Hopefully it will at least run a little better. I mostly sit with my iphone on every event, it takes ages on the Samsung.

Isnt there any possiblity to buy Docks with coins instead of Gems? Its really impossible to play the game. Almost (i dont know of any other gacha does this) but we only getting gems as compensation or when the comunity goal for the game itself. Players cant get new Units if they already filled the collection and already did all 3* Quests. I really like the game but someone who want to grind for cubes and collecting shipgirls cant play the game anymore. I have over 40 cubes but i cant even summon anymore like why are you doing this?
minor robin
If you want to collect everything, you have to sacrifice something
ornate basin
skins
sacrifice skins
you get tons of gems from 3* and if they all seemed to just disappear something isn’t being spent wisely
minor robin
you get get like 2750 gems from story mode alone in EN, which is enough to increase dock slot by 130
obtuse cypress
How to buy skins when you have already invest them to docks
minor robin
i'll add it anyways
obtuse cypress
since i play all of the games like FEH and FFBE i can tell that there is a difference since those games give like almost there paid currency (even if in really small amounts through all
eventmissions besides easy, daily ranking and through events. Even Dragalia Lost does it. Some even give them the paid currency through multiple days of login or so.) where they can choose multiple or at least once how they spend their stuff. In Azur Lane you have to choose between progress or Skins. One Skin will fck you if you had (almost) all Special Units and can lock you from progress. No other Gacha i know has such hard choices as this one.
naive cobalt
those games require premium currency to roll gacha in the first place afaik
minor robin
- You can't even roll the gacha with said paid currency.
- Skins are purely aesthetic to begin with, if you are f2p, that's what you should avoid.
- The average player does not need every single ship to progress through the game. Quite the opposite if anything. Progress is by no means locked.
naive cobalt
al does not
minor robin
You cannot compare games that function on a different basis.
sterile lodge
Also. Comparing FEH/FFBE/Dragalia with AL at all, saying AL locks you from progress? Pull the other one, it makes noises.
You can clear content here with a buncha tricked-out commons. Try that in most mobages.
obtuse cypress
i am honest and have to admit that i have buyed one skin. But that one skin that i regretfully buyed totally locked me from progressing since i am playing the games to complete my collection. I am disencouraged to grind since i have over 230 Units no Dukes and cant progress without always destroying the obtained ship. The true problem is when i (who has to admit aswell is at chapter 9) hast to completely halt the game everytime i get the rare ship drop from Stage X-X. No weeklys, no dailys, no events. But i should atleast have the illusion to get them. I cant see any good reason why it should be that hard to get more space because of the paid currency. I wouldnt mind if the skins cost gems and like only one dockspace for 10 cubes. I had up to the Neptunia Event almost all of the timed Units exept of Aurora and Noire. And someone who did one mistake where i didnt knew that it would end so badly could like frequently pause my progress? That would be really harsh. In AL is nothing like "Dock-Expension-Ticket" or the option to buy more Dockspace with the obtainable recources. Every Gacha has a way to expend their "Docks" in hard desicions but here its not even a option. If i would knew from start that if i buy a Skin that i would be in such a terrible situation then yes that wouldnt happen, but when i played at the same month of the release till January and just had luck and got almost every ship, then i should get punished? I was always just 10-15 Shipgirls close to my full collection but now there is over 25 just because of that issue. I didnt even bother anymore to login everyday anymore since that would is worsen my issue. That just really sucks for me who really liked that game
naive cobalt
You shouldn't realistically expect to be able to fully get everything just by playing the game for free
in games you using as an example yoi cannot even dream to get all the units without whaling REALLY HARD
and even in that case not guarantee
here you can get almost all the units easily as f2p and the only limiting factor is you cannot own all of them at the same time
this game still needs to make money, sorry if it sounds somewhat cynical
obtuse cypress
Oof rip my old message. yeah but the edit was suppose to be the new message.
The thing in my earlier post was how the other mobas were doing it and how AL is handle stuff which is not good (desision and gameplay wise). How i cant compare games on that function on a different basis where i explained how the character storage was actually comparable since all were similar to an extend.
The now edit post is an answer to that what NUMBAH WAN!s said.
"those games require premium currency to roll gacha"
That thats not the case since that is mostly the way to require it.
If 200 Gems = 5 Spaces for a Unit why not charge like 1/-2 Summons for atleast one Dockspace? Than someone like me can atleast choose to expand 2-3 times a month or summon like 5-6 times a week. Or depending on Exercising Performance? idk but that shouldnt be the only solution to that.
i am sure i am forgetting something important but that is my feedback for a few months of playing the game. If there is another argument which tells me that i shouldnt compare the games after someone else did that not even long ago to tell me that the way AL handels the Dock stuff fine than the link that was given to me shouldnt count as an argument since both contradict each other.
I am really srry if i annoy someone but that is really a big issue for me personaly.

I think mods have full message logs, so if you really need the old message, you can try asking them to send its exact copy to you 🤔
rare jay
Well as stated before, it's been suggested to increase dock space for the amount of ships we get. It's been added to the Trello board for the devs to look at so your feedback is known.
minor robin
However, it will not be from a farmable currency
flat cairn
Ability to change between Type of class post retrofit at a cost (example, yamashiro BB, BBV state, or even more impactfull mogami CL/CA state for ASW purpuses) i wouldnt mind paying extra gold to swap between both states isntead of lvling 2 copies wich can be quite annoying.
minor robin
It wouldn't really make sense from a realistic standpoint, neither would it make sense since those ships you mentioned are either horrible post (yama) or pre retro (moga owing to CA tier evade and cost as CL) so
And then there's also the issue of retrofit bps, plates and all going missing
basically, sure i can put it down, it's just that there's so much details to figure out
flat cairn
It would be just the option to use both modes, after u paying the cost of retro an option would appear to choose between both (xould even cost gold to switch class ttpe) it mostly saves oath ring and timw, I can see why it cant be implemented but hey, its a sugestion

Sorry, most of the previous cards had been archived as they've been compiled into a card for the devs to look at all issues as a whole. I can bring them back though, since they're not deleted.

I think it's good for organization to have them in compilation cards (at least personally). I just had to remember that it was under "Gear"

We need transparency on developer decisions when it comes to bugs and compensations. Kindly elaborate the reasoning on why they will give out 75 pvp points rather than other solutions like reducing pvp points OR resetting pvp season on early stages.
Why and how did they messed up the new patch by instead of adding an hour in the pvp season timer, they reduced it by an hour instead which made it more broken
dreamy loom
They probably think resetting stuff might introduce some new bug, while adding score is already done and no bug happens. AL code seems to be some kind of super magical beast
static needle
and how does the QA testing in this game work when ALL patches these past 2~3 months all had some leftover bugs and forgot to include some features like how training mission was late by an hour and had to emergency maint to be put in the game.
dreamy loom
Some of those maintenance patch time are shorter than the usual. That might be the problem. Also, al code is probably getting more and more byzantine with lots of dummied out content and the likes not helping
static needle
You realize even the last full hour maint even had a bug after it. We want explanations on why their qa team or devs are so bad.
ornate basin
the maint was not to fix the timers

The most realistic way to add "free" dock slots would be in an event reward. And the most fitting event would be 1 year anniversaries and/or christmas or new years(not saying both christmas and new year, but one or the other altho both would be welcomed but not really hopeful). Of course that wouldnt be enough for the whole collection, gotta spend some gems on dorm slots. But its still better than absolutely nothing.
Yes I know about the story chapters gems but some people spent their gems before their docks were even close to be filled so when they trying to complete their ships thats when the lack of dock space happened and since there's no refund mechanic we cant really use those gems to buy dock slots.
hardy nymph
An option to mute certain ships or even just the enemy ships in pvp

soft arch
Time for some real talk. This is with all due respect to the developers but i find that my current experience is getting less and less enjoyable every day due to the increasing buggy state of the game.
Every time a feature gets added to the game another seemingly unrelated part of the game bugs out to the point i get the impression that pieces of code gets pasted in the EN version that then clashes with the existing code, then again, i am no programmer so idk. I have been a player since launch and have put more than 300 euro's in the game because i loved it but i wont do so anymore.
Please note that i am not angry, i am sad that i am losing confidence in the development since every maintenance more and more bugs are introduced which really makes me wonder about the quality control.
While i appreciate the devs wanting to catch up as soon as possible, this pace with all bugs piling up these last few months its clearly damaging the quality of the game
hexed garden
Can I suggest an increased droprate to limited event weapon blueprints like the reppuu and ryuusei?
[Off-topic but to prove my point:
I've farmed D3 for at least 9 days on 2 accounts (I have a total of 37k event points on each account by now) and still only have 10/15 ryuusei blueprints on each account, and I haven't even started farming the reppuu yet. Yet I've gotten 4 zuikakus from drops in total. The droprates are ridiculously low, and there's no telling when another rerun will be scheduled, if at all, for another chance of getting them. I also don't feel that it's fair to require players to spend an unhealthy amount of time farming, only to have a CHANCE of getting a weapon which will not be available once an event ends, instead of a way to guarantee obtaining it after a certain amount of time/effort.]
This feedback can be added on to https://trello.com/c/7TPiyZey/98-use-for-event-currency whereby excess event currency can be spent to buy limited event weapon blueprints.
Or the Core Data shop can provide limited event weapon blueprints as well so that players don't have to wait for an unknown amount of time to get certain weapons.
I've provided a total of 3 options to solve the shortage problem here, so I hope none gets overlooked if my feedback is considered. Thanks.

I find the lack of response to the Cygnet skin event being bugged forcing people to run for less core data is really irresponsible
The fact that we even get the ship sunk but still S rank bug entirely from the CN bug as they accidentally changed the switch on Submarines and the Main ships make me completely unsurprised by the release of subs that are just announced as it painfully obvious you guys copied bugged codes from other server
Let me just say I am really unimpressed with the performance recently, and thats disregarding everything around PvP recently

more of, there;s so many good gear it's hard to get what you want
I find the lack of response to the Cygnet skin event being bugged forcing people to run for less core data is really irresponsible
The thing is, no one made a report till 2 days before the event ended, on a day where devs are not in work

I do think developping a game is first making sure it runs well before releasing it or adding new content, and when adding said new content you have to make sure it goes through without issues.
Here we dont have some content with the occasional bug, but content with more and more bugs.
There is supposed to be a quality control team (i agree some bugs can slip by ofc) but lately we have been doing that quality control.
And the quality is unacceptable.

Alright, before this goes too deep, I'll have to say that while this can't be really taken as a card, the sentiment that recent patches feel like they've been rushed has been already thoroughly conveyed, and that staff should be aware from how much has already been said.

can we have small new events like well....
perhaps some other events that's inspired from belchan
minor robin
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.```add google as alternative for log-in perhaps?
FB and twitter are nice, but more options are even better, esp since android user would be most likely using google account for downloading azur lane

as far as i'm aware, google binding is being put on hold
they are currently coming up with another way of binding
to a "yostar" account as per leaked said a few weeks ago in general

PRAISE YOSTAR although I'm a bit iffy on security, but it's a step to right direction

I would gladly recommend about an additional feature about air superiority, that at max air superiority positive level it would prevent any air strikes from happening(aside from reducing ambush chances)
naive cobalt
we don't even have this system in EN

ignoring how high recon from using tons of carriers already makes airstrike/ambush chance super low
karmic wolf
Well seeing the system buffs makes me think its not enough being a hobby historian (since air superiority usually prevents any airstrikes)
minor robin
the recon system already addresses it anyways
and is a more realistic representation
karmic wolf
hmm, yep, since kamikazes still get thru air superiority refers to USN ships getting hit, 1944-45
though should have been at least halve the damage taken from airstrike if ever the low chance happens, and scale it as air superiority goes down ok thats my case for suggestions on air superiority

Is there any good reason on why you can't change equipment/LB ships while they're on a Commission?
(I know from a real life standpoint the ships would be in a battle and whatnot, but it's a game and equipment doesn't matter for commissions as far as I'm aware)

Yeah but there it makes sense since you're actively using that gear.
Plus you can complete regular combat maps faster than most commissions.
It just kind of gets in the way when you got a new ship that you could use to LB or strengthen with other common ones.

So how about lowering the milestone on event. Instead of 100k maybe a little lower? This is avrora. Only 4 player have 100k point. Milestone set bar to high which kinda strange because eveny shop easy to clear just by casual play
rare jay
Well the top rewards are MEANT for people who farm like crazy. Getting those items requires players to put in time and dedication.
Plus it's just one T5 box for the final reward, which probably doesn't entice many players so that could explain why not many people went for it.
naive cobalt
People who farm a lot "complain" (not really, but that's the best word) that after they cleared the shop - there's no use ofr currency or any incentive to play, that's why such massive milestones exist

this took way too much oil and time to do this, and i was doing d2 on 24 oil trash clearing. idm the gear box being 100k, but i DO MIND only getting 1 orange cruzier print and some random purples (w/e they where, not very useful for me) if i knew how much effort this would of took, i would of stopped extra farming at w/e it took to clear shop. Also I did D2 spaming on the original and this year, i think i totaled 70k points between the 2 events, and only 7 orange plane prints to show for it, stuff like this should be looked at and adjusted. it is nice to be given something to do, but I would like to gotten more for the time I put into it, I am assuming velvet feels the same? not many got these scores and my score of 40k is almost nothing compaed to these and yet i sit at rank 77, it was way too damanding
for subs, the merit exchange for gear is taking up a slot, holding a place where we may get food or ogrange prints or books, it is blocking and being a perma place holder for more useful things. Can we have 7 slots in the medal exchange so it is not doing this?

@winter escarp While I understand the idea, you have to look at it from another perspective - rewards cannot be too good so the average casual player feel like he's being punished for not being able to get 100k or whatever event points. I'm playing the game somewhat actively and don't care much about rewards and even I only got 22k. The one way I can imagine it being fixed is by reducing amount of points, but at that point it kinda defeats the point of "giving players who want to farm tons and tons of points at least some albeit small reason to do so". So you kinda stuck between these 2 extremes and I personally find it a nice balance - people who just want to farm for the sake of it can do so, while casual players can safely ignore it, because most of what they lose are a couple of BP they can live without.
I'll still add the card to improve rewards, don't get me wrong
But it's def something to consider
winter escarp
i understand that, thats why i said i didnt mind the 100k box, for that very reason you said, but the lower parts of the latter could been more worth doing. if i knew it would take as much effort as it did to get at the 40k mark i would not have done it. I only benifted from getting organe crusiser print and that is all i wanted, so the point i went to extra farming i was not going to stop because that current past time would be completely wasted...
what about the sub medal exchange?
naive cobalt
Ye, I'll add box one as well
winter escarp
there could been more on the lower end to give .. more to casuals.. as you say.. i guess...
ty
but for my personal exmaple for the event, if 40k and all that d2 farming say got me 15 prints for a plane and 2-3 cruiser prints + w/e side bonuses, i def wouldn't mind as much, but i basially walk away with ONE cruiser print from all that and that is pretty underwhelming
static needle
Is it possible to suggest the devs to make the rewards on some events as good as the rewards on Fw/Wc in which grinding even only 45+k will net you so much good stuff like bp. Makes events like VDiR boring and lazy to do in comparison.
Well but i guess it's an old event
naive cobalt
It is an old event, ye. They won't come back to remake the event they in all likelihood have no intention of running again
wait, merit shop is pvp shop
static needle
Maybe we might as well ask them to put it in merit shop also
people only buys purins bulins and cubes there anyways
winter escarp
medal exchange ya did i say merit? opps
ya you could my friend thouht they where going into merit shop cuz of that, lol
naive cobalt
there was a card to improve merit shop, I'll just add this to it
winter escarp
@static needle ya thats what i mean, the other event that had this, i did not mind the results vs time/effort, that is why i did it here in this event. After i done it i had a wtf face... and this event has no plans on being reran? i wanna finish my orange plane -.-
same with farming for prints, that one event that had homing tubes that only lasted a week i almost got 2 full sets (orange gear +13/15) so the drop rates in this event had issues
naive cobalt
and this event has no plans on being reran? i wanna finish my orange plane JP/CN have the feature to play some old events on perma and I think VDIR is added to it?
although I'm not sure 100%
analog solstice
feature to sort ships by need of enhance
winter escarp
wasnt that on a card already?
naive cobalt
it was
winter escarp
feel like thats been suggested before, ah ya, thought so
naive cobalt
not "sort by need of enhance" specifically, but filter and indicator for fully/not fully enhanced ships
static needle
memory key feature in jp only has vdir for now. and yeah planes in research
ornate basin
cause its been like 6 months and nothing has changed
winter escarp
say after meeting some high requirement, like say 3 star ch 11, can we use subs on ch7 hard? i only ask this because it would be a good sorce of exp, the normal ch 7 is too weak for main ships, and too low commander gain
^ going with this, can we have the option to do hards with adds when in safe mode? like a little pop up option that appears * attack boss directly* have adds , or just let the adds appear with the boss so if people want to farm it for exp they can
minor robin
that's already a feature lol...
winter escarp
????
winter escarp
so how do i use it?
minor robin
it's not on EN yet, but it's a button you toggle, pretty straightforward
winter escarp
oh, what about using subs on hard so they can get exp?
minor robin
that one no, so i'll add it
minor robin
sour monolith
Staff sending out event warnings via mails are great. Hope they continue this and it helps people save gold & cubes before a big event
winter escarp
sos push notification for sos signal please
push notification for pvp when reset is near and over 5 attacks
devout veldt
Its both feedback and a question but i’m abit confused why they stopped giving us dates for when the new events would come in the tweets? It feels hard to prepare when you have no idea when events will happen until the day before when they tweet patch notes
I feel like "in the near future" is very vague.. i forgot when they stopped but i remember being really caught off guard that suddenly vdir rerun was the next day, day before the patch
analog solstice
is there a card for more fleet groups ?
rare jay
@analog solstice There is: https://trello.com/c/qE0VIBsw/444-increase-number-of-fleet-slots
hardy nymph
This is probably just my opinion but
Making a quest to spend core data was kind of scummy
normal vine
@analog solstice also: https://trello.com/c/4Zc7SUy2/203-save-fleet-configurations
@hardy nymph uuh ... what?
hardy nymph
Maybe I just never like quests that specifically just say to buy things. Like I said, probably just my opinion.
analog solstice
what ?
ornate basin
you’re gonna really hate the quests for pixel drawing events then @hardy nymph
hardy nymph
An actual thing I'd like to say is make those burst damage skills like Kaga BB's and kirishima's have more range
Erebus, Reaper, and Amagi's skills that work the same already just sweep across the map, and Amagi's is ridiculously powerful. Seeing Kaga's and Kirishima's barely make it to the enemy side of the ...field? Ocean? Is a little eh
normal vine
I don't even know what quest you're talking about
oh, wait, the training thing ...
that's supposed to introduce you to game mechanics, so it makes sense to have "spend the core data you collected on something" in there
minor robin
Not gonna accept the suggestion about the barrages really
normal vine
it's still up to you to decide when and what for
minor robin
Kirishima barrage was never meant to be that spectacular, it was more for ridiculous fire damage and being an aimed barrage (doesn't need to be placed in flagship)
hardy nymph
It's not aimed?
minor robin
It is
hardy nymph
Blaze of glory?
minor robin
Erebus and terror have hilariously good barrages sure, but at the cost of almost low FP and MGM+1 vs +2
Yes it is aimed
normal vine
I mean, Kirishima's barrage covers half of the screen after scattering, so it doesn't really matter ... and it's mostly for shooting down planes, not ships
minor robin
Amagi is ridiculous absolutely, not gonna deny that, but it's a common pattern that BCs have much better barrages (due to usually low FP) compared to BBs like Kaga and Washington
Part of Kaga barrage also ignores shields so stuff like 8-4 and 10-2 bosses are easier
Is it not as good? Certainly, I agree
But does it need to be buffed? Absolutely not
hardy nymph
Yeah but
It covers my half of the screen?
minor robin
If the enemy is further away then it'll hit further away, even if she is on the left lane she can hit the barrage centered on right lane
It's very obvious at low skill levels
Kirishima barrage is more akin to warspite's and Duke of York's skills
hasty mountain
now that we have the sub stage thing going on, I think it'd be a good time to bring in the 6 fleets from jp :p
minor robin
Pretty sure that's world based no?
hardy nymph
Warpsite has a barrage?...
minor robin
And if it's something JP/CN already has, it's only a matter of time till we get it
Divine marksman is a barrage
A very small one, but as far as we're concerned, a barrage
Basically, it's difficult to understand the justification for such behaviour of certain skills without looking at the bigger picture
hardy nymph
Oh riiiiight
I was taking barrage probably too literally there
My problem is still specifically kirishima tho, her own barrage just seems to splatter about in front of her
minor robin
Have you actually seen the damage on it tho
It's no small amount, and has very high burn chance and the burn damage of a full shell (burn damage is based on shell damage)
And ofc the bonus of shooting down planes
Frankly speaking, if everyone single one of the barrage shells hit, it technically would be one of the strongest barrages in game
hardy nymph
No I haven't because my problem is again it doesnt hit enemies at all
Also do planes take burn damage even?
minor robin
And that's not an issue limited to kirishima
Planes don't take burn damage, they just... Die
Doesn't mean it's not hitting enemies properly means it's not doing damage
And if it's not hitting enemies at all, consider if another barrage can do the same
hardy nymph
The thing that stills has me here is you said it was an aimed barrage, but whenever I use it it just splatters about on my side of the screen. I wouldnt care how much damage it does but always missing due to it either not being able to due to having no range or possibly a bug just making it not aim at anything
Yeah I gave 3 and add warspite to make 4 barrages specifically made to hit enemies
minor robin
I've never had that experience while using kirishima
minor robin
Then it's probably something that most other barrage ships would have an issue with as well
solemn citrus
It does feel short compared to Amagi, but she definitely shoots farther than Wash for me
hardy nymph
... kaga BB?
I mean Amagi's is a wave that sweeps the screen it doesnt needto specifically target anything
normal vine
@hardy nymph well, Kiri's barrage is basically an invisible https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Twin_410mm_(Type_3_Shell) firing with her main gun
minor robin
And amagi barrage is blocked by shields
hardy nymph
But for me its completely visible????
