game-feedback

[forest echo]

keep it around and ask for a pin

[velvet adder]

it does not

[cinder cipher]

i rly do hope somebody pins that its a compilation of a lot of ppls issues

[polar shell]

It also scales inconsistently

Font size is reduced if the skill name is too long

[bitter prism]

That actually looks megabad holy shit what

[velvet adder]

welcome to having not crappy budget phones

[bitter prism]

But then again what the fuck kind of resolution is that even

[latent storm]

I could have sworn the font size always reduced if the skill name was too long

[polar shell]

It wasn't this noticeable @latent storm

The font size's increase makes the smaller font size even more apparent in comparison

[latent storm]

But yeah, I see your bit about the health bars

[velvet adder]

18 9 definitely get cucked

[slate monolith]

In some places I feel like I need a magnifying glass to see some of the text

[latent storm]

Hadn't done a pvp on the new UI yet

[polar shell]

Its actually 19:9

[velvet adder]

4:3 also get cucked

[forest echo]

I just lost on a map I have never lost on before because I could not see mine or the enemies's HP. I feel cheated out of my 13 gold and 1 grey plate

[bitter prism]

Who the actual ef would optimize for 19:9

[polar shell]

@bitter prism Modern notch phones are 19:9, just fyi

You need to optimize for everyone

There's a reason why webdevs still optimize for Internet Explorer, even tho it is almost completely dead

[velvet adder]

rip anti alias

[polar shell]

@stuck agate Did you notice, that the loading screen splashes are also lower res?

[tired mist]

Keep the everyone is laffey bug but make it a option or something

[velvet adder]

the loading screen art is zoomed in

[eternal bear]

I heard about scaling earlier and I do understand it has been brought up already but even text scaling I have to bring up as well. For the first time in my life I think I need glasses

[polar shell]

It is, which looks horrible

[velvet adder]

known bug

[deep pecan]

when attempting to LB, it doesnt show how much oil they will be using after they level up

[cursive karma]

cause that's a sub

[deep pecan]

not just sub, all the ships

[celest abyss]

Here's the bug(?) on a BC to prove it's not just subs

[velvet adder]

keep up the nitpicking

[cursive karma]

that's not really a bug they just didn't put the oil cost on there

[velvet adder]

report in on the bug report channel

[lilac swift]

its probably been said already but the text akwardly cuts at the edges, something the old UI never had an issue with

[forest echo]

This isn't really a nitpick. These are all things that was present before, but no longer are.

[deep pecan]

its like they replaced the oil used tab with ASW

[mystic oar]

New UI is very hard on my eyes. So e fonts are way too small and the contrast is off

[velvet adder]

nitpicking is good

[polar shell]

A simple closed beta would have revealed all these issues before they pushed this update to global

@stuck agate The least they could do was use waifu2x to make the zoomed in stuff look less bad

[mystic oar]

This update is super disappointing. Can't even see the max oil/coins in the main menu

[polar shell]

uwot

[velvet adder]

read the compains list an see if there is anything you can add

[cursive karma]

uh

[polar shell]

its right there my lad

[celest abyss]

Hm, maybe space the soft cap numbers out more so they're easier to read?

[deep pecan]

🔍

[mystic oar]

It's MINISCULE! not everyone has 20/20 eyesight

[polar shell]

I agree tho

[velvet adder]

bring back scaling

[hexed garden]

you know the font issues couldve been easily solved by just bolding them

[celest abyss]

Zoomed

[polar shell]

@hexed garden and all the other issues would have been found 5 mins into the closed beta

[velvet adder]

i envy people that dont have about 10 miles of air above their secretary lol

[cursive karma]

tbf it wasn't that big back then either, it's just scrunched in too much

[mystic oar]

Fact is, it was better before. And not just because we all got used to it

[cursive karma]

oh woops wrong one

[forest echo]

This is how small the numbers are, feelsbad with eye problems (tried to circle it in)

[velvet adder]

it was more functional before

[cursive karma]

because it was a white text on a black background,

[polar shell]

That is one low res Roon

[celest abyss]

The before does have the softcap numbers spaced better
Which did make them a bit easier to read

[forest echo]

Screenshotting somehow comes out with a bad res. (1920x1080 screen, samsung s7)

[polar shell]

Nice phone

[hexed garden]

too bad i guess also pls do not strain my eyes like dis

[polar shell]

Wait what the fuck is that,
What does it even say

[forest echo]

wtf

[celest abyss]

Imo the readability issue in main memu could be fixed by spacing out the numbers of the softcap more
Though I will admit my vision loss isn't as much acuity as field

[velvet adder]

this UI is a trainwreck

[polar shell]

I can't even read that

[forest echo]

that is small

[hexed garden]

dats the enhance ui

[cursive karma]

man you have no idea what a trainwreck is

[mystic oar]

I feel angry at myself for spending 80$ to support mainly yostar. Because they pull off crap like this

[polar shell]

@celest abyss well I can't read anything 10 inches away without my glasses

[celest abyss]

@polar shell oh rip, my sister has that problem too

[polar shell]

Just push it to Prod

[celest abyss]

But yeah I do agree contrast could be upped some

[cursive karma]

you know all of these problems are mostly just text issues, there's other improvements that was included with the new ui

[celest abyss]

As someone with poor contrast vision I feel like the ui backgrounds could be darkened/a bit more opaque

[velvet adder]

all these issues would have been fixed with an open beta

[hasty idol]

since the interface can now support unusual resolutions, I feel as if the Shop and Dock menus can now add in an extra column

[polar shell]

These aren't text issues, they're usability issues, no matter how much people deny it

[velvet adder]

here have a freebie, chinese sprite in dock preview

[cinder cipher]

@celest abyss i was hoping a long term implementation of themes or coloured themes would be considered rather than just blue eg black or something for that reason too

[polar shell]

bad usability = displeased whales
displeased whales = less money

[cursive karma]

I can use it just fine

[velvet adder]

I've already got bingo like 4 times now

not to mention some skins dont even load

[mellow gyro]

[polar shell]

A good chunk of people can't

[cinder cipher]

as long as the tiddy still there ill shell out my paycheck

[polar shell]

Else this channel wouldn't be half as active as it is right now

[velvet adder]

ive seen white void secretaries in bug repiorts

[cursive karma]

sure, which is why it's active just cause I'm using it fine doesn't mean everyone else is like you said

[velvet adder]

yeah known bug

[celest abyss]

I will admit my bad contrast vision plays a role
But some of the text here - especially the level stuff - feels like it could be more readable on a darker background

[velvet adder]

i dont think we need to add bugs in the list

[polar shell]

Overall, nice grand launch

[velvet adder]

they will be taken care by bug reports

[polar shell]

well I got 300 apologems so Im not that salty, I guess

I can just not play for 2-3 days and let the playtester whales figure the bugs out

[forest echo]

Usable UI > Any amount of apologems

[mellow gyro]

[celest abyss]

I like the launch, just feel like it's be nice if readability issues were put on the list to be ironed out

[velvet adder]

imagine having a open beta before launching

[cursive karma]

you mean the open beta we just left?

[normal vine]

something positive for a change: 60fps on MEmu is friggin smooth, it's amazing

[velvet adder]

plot twist

[cursive karma]

Nox is smooth as well

[velvet adder]

we never left open beta

[celest abyss]

But yeah 60fps option is nice

[polar shell]

We're still in Early Access hell

[forest echo]

I feel like they playtested in nox, and not on any mobile device... It seems very good for PC players but all mobile users kind of got left behind in this one.

[polar shell]

This is basically it, isn't it, you have people both pay for content and then have them playtest said content

Early Access.

[velvet adder]

thats the business model of most games nowadays sadly

[celest abyss]

Oh, also - looking back at my screenshot, the IRL ship names could stand to have better contrast too imo

[velvet adder]

i dont think they do it in bad faith tho, like most

[polar shell]

Its just, proper testing takes time and money
Just push it to prod instead

[celest abyss]

These are some of the, if not the most responsive and transparent devs I've ever seen ngl

[velvet adder]

i rather have my devs to be incompetent than greedy fks

[cursive karma]

no, Early Access hell is promising features to a game and never fulfilling them as it perpetually stays in early access with no updates and the developer goes silent

[forest echo]

Yostar/Manjuu are on the level of CDPR when it comes to listening to consumers, which is a good thing

[velvet adder]

definitely

[polar shell]

Well, Rimworld was in Early Access hell for more than an year @cursive karma and look, we have a proper, good, 1.0 release

[celest abyss]

@cursive karma I played a game that promised features and never did them

[cursive karma]

A new ui that has some issues is nothing new, even after going through testing it

[polar shell]

It was in Early Access hell for a long time

but then our lord and savior Tynan dragged it out

[velvet adder]

you could argue that these issues would have been easily spotted and fixed with more careful launch

[forest echo]

See: Lots

[polar shell]

'could argue'

[cursive karma]

again you have never seen a godawful ui unless you played granblue

[polar shell]

We've been essentially arguing it for the past hour and half

[velvet adder]

i dont like to use bad examples as comparison

[cursive karma]

it's just menus

[celest abyss]

Eh, these issslllues are kinda small for the amount of restructuring
And be glad devs listen at least, imo, I played a site whose new ui was very hard tobrnread
Those staff didn't give a fuck

[velvet adder]

you can always do worse, much worse

[woeful shale]

May I know why my favorite Akagi is no longer the poster girl for Beheading? 😦

[cursive karma]

cause she the last boss of the stage

[polar shell]

The reason why Im irked at this UI launch is the same reason why I get irked when I read decent web novels

[cursive karma]

oh wait I read that wrong

[forest echo]

Yostar are ijn bias and wont behead akagi /s

[woeful shale]

@cursive karma , she's not though. The Cranes are 😦

[cinder cipher]

@restive mountain u know if anybody can pin ur message?

[polar shell]

Only to find tons of spelling mistakes, and grammar issues

[velvet adder]

post it again

[cursive karma]

you mean Enty?

[polar shell]

the overall content is good, but the small things really break the immersion of it all

[woeful shale]

@forest echo , it is not about beheading Akagi. It is Akagi that does the Beheading to her unworthy Kouhais.

[polar shell]

If you can get past it, great, but I certainly can't.

[echo lance]

in-game chat -- I can't see pple's lvl, visit their dorms, etc. Is this a design choice or a bug?

[woeful shale]

@cursive karma , yes. I do not see why they had to replace my Akagi 😦

[velvet adder]

probably a design choice

[clear heron]

The spelling and typos and all text related issues should be parsed through #bug-reports though a handful of them have already been noted. I'm going through all the text afterwards.

[cinder cipher]

theres a link to cyanekos msg at lesat i showed it to a friend in another server so ill have it on hand if devs stop by or whatever or this gets less active so it wont get lost

[polar shell]

in-game chat is bollocks anyway, only masochists use in-game chat

[cursive karma]

or degenerates

[velvet adder]

in game chat is even worse now, with black font on dark blue background

[forest echo]

Room 2 washington...

[woeful shale]

@velvet adder , I question a lot of these new design choices 😦

[velvet adder]

as we all do

[ornate basin]

keep comments to a minimum, remember this is a feedback channel

[woeful shale]

Akagi was perfect as the poster girl for Beheading. It fully matches her persona.

[celest abyss]

Honestly I think they need to do a contrast once-over
But their choice in the end

[velvet adder]

@restive mountain post your updated list

[cinder cipher]

@ornate basin https://discordapp.com/channels/456397991847395339/468804193646542849/580148220072820807 btw this is most the feedback

[cursive karma]

I'm pretty happy with the new ui, good changes, text needs some work, skins seemd to have reversed back to censored again, but overall it's been good

[cinder cipher]

i got it dw

[forest echo]

I must commend them for the 60fps mode. Seeing Hood barrage the enemy in 60fps feels exeptionally good

[cursive karma]

just putting out comissions feels good

[velvet adder]

we will see if there is anything more to add, after that thuis channel could even go on lockdown for a while

[celest abyss]

Looking at my ships
It's mostly the SR/Gold ships who could use a darker background on text for me tbh
@restive mountain

[viscid halo]

ya'll doing your own compliation?

[cursive karma]

this and the research menu are great too

[cinder cipher]

yea currently cyaneko has a running list

[velvet adder]

as most feedback has been te same over and over again

[viscid halo]

that will be updated and edited?

[polar shell]

@cursive karma But to refresh classroom book stuff you have to go into the proper menu anyway, so there's not much point of that

[cinder cipher]

hopefully tho they mighta went to sleep

[viscid halo]

[cursive karma]

@polar shell eh, it's good to know how much time is left

[celest abyss]

I think they did go sleep

[velvet adder]

cyaneko failed us

[cursive karma]

without having to go into the port itself

[polar shell]

@cursive karma It surely doesn't deserve the same amount of space as commissions

[balmy rover]

Hey, just wanted to say that i prefer the elizabeth and warspite loading screen over this enty one. I hope the change it sojeday

[cinder cipher]

id stay and continue compiling it but staying in this channel hurts my soul

[polar shell]

Do you play 8 hours in a row, continously, that ya need to keep track of the time on books?

[ornate basin]

staying in this channel has hurt all of the feedback team's soul

[velvet adder]

not much more to add to be honest

[ornate basin]

thanks for compiling it at least

now its less of an eye sore for us to read

[viscid halo]

kawaa, would u like me to pin what they complied so that the team can go thru it when they wake up?

[velvet adder]

we definitely ripped the new UI a new one

[ornate basin]

its fine, im redirecting it to the team

[viscid halo]

[cinder cipher]

the hours of arguing was all for this moment

[ornate basin]

restart said he was going to backread it when people went quiet

bugs are more of a priority than feedback at the moment

[polar shell]

well hopefully it'll be fixed tomorrow

[ornate basin]

thanks for understanding

[viscid halo]

is he still awake

[cursive karma]

I'd give it more a week or so

[celest abyss]

Glad to hear they'll be taking a look

[velvet adder]

yeah take ur time

[slate monolith]

Restart needs the Nimi with coffee pic I have

[polar shell]

Should have delayed the launch even more tbh to fix these bugs

Atleast you wouldn't have had this shitshow

[analog jay]

Keep it minimum guys

[cursive karma]

do you really want to double down Bismarck and this at the same time? the servers would die

[celest abyss]

I mean it's like all updates... fix one thing break another
And also, when bugs only show up after things go live

[viscid halo]

also what hikki said, discussion can be moved elsewhere. Thank you guys!

[ornate basin]

no he should be asleep right now
with that being said, thanks for being compiling it again and working together
restart and I are both sick, and both in need of rest
ender is asleep
and toaster is doing what he can
so thanks again, its been redirected to the team, and will be looked at later
if you have a bug to report, go to #bug-reports and if you have things to suggest, here is fine

[polar shell]

Locking?

[tawny junco]

I had a couple suggestions to improve game content for the dev's... is this the right chat.

[ornate basin]

yes

[clear heron]

Make sure to check what's already been accepted and can't be taken as per trello and pins

[forest echo]

By the way, to anyone with weird stutters, try to initiate a repair in the settings menu. It solved most of my stuttering.

[verbal lily]

Still.. 10hours nonstop working + 4hours.. Amazing work indeed.
Give them vacation... XD

[fleet prawn]

Just wanna say ... The game is a much more PLEASURE to look at, especially the 60FPS mode ❤ love it. Hope you guys fix the small bugs 🔜 Good luck.

[tawny junco]

Idea 1: add to the sort options: fuel cost... for us oil misers

[ornate basin]

has been suggested iirc

[fleet prawn]

I still want the Auto dismantle option after retiring a ship or consuming it for enhancement. noone wants and uses that shit default gear.

[verbal lily]

Compared to this major improvement, those small bugs really looks just some larvae... XD

[ornate basin]

no use in suggesting something, and then saying you still want it to be a suggestion

[viscid halo]

@tawny junco take a look at https://trello.com/b/XqSmXLq4/azur-lane-official-azur-lane-en-feedback first

[cursive karma]

this looks kinda silly

[fleet prawn]

whats sily ?

[rustic torrent]

The 60 fps is surprisingly clean. Well done devs.

[verbal lily]

Lollololol, wrong layer.. XD

[ornate basin]

its a known BUG @cursive karma

[fleet prawn]

i dont see whats wrong LUL

[lyric maple]

"PR" would look better than "PRY" too

[fleet prawn]

ah,

[lyric maple]

and match better with other rarities which are 1-2 letters

[celest abyss]

@fleet prawn the "priority* is behind the PRY

[fleet prawn]

yee

[final cape]

Is the fact that older phones not running the game well being told to the team? Just wanted to make sure. I can also provide videos of issues or crashing if needed. iPhone 5s (1gb RAM) issues, iPhone 6s (2gb RAM) crashes opening the dorm, doing sorties, etc. I just booted up my LG G5 (4G Ram) and the game runs, but it has horrific stuttering, noticeable lag opening dialogue boxes. At least it doesn’t crash. No idea if I’m just SOL with phones man LOL everything I have sucks

[rustic torrent]

Could just be shit luck

[final cape]

Luck Stat 0

[velvet adder]

the chipset also matters

[rustic torrent]

Yeah that too

[analog jay]

Again, not a place for discussion
More to feedback

[ornate basin]

1gb ram has been a reported issue

[tawny junco]

As for the new medal room... my daily missions do not reflect nor the SRR related medals.

[verbal lily]

How about change the elite to sr, and sr to ssr, since ur is coming....
Dont tell me the ur gonna be "rainbow".... Prism? Lol...

[solemn thunder]

can we change the Arial Narrow for something else more readable

[cinder cipher]

some of the font issues have been recommended already to change

[rustic torrent]

Would've thought the medals would be somewhat retroactive. Bit disappointed but oh well.

[solemn thunder]

cool

[fallen coral]

I think a button to see Items dropped from a fight would be nice. Just put it next to the damage button. Sometimes I accidentally click through too fast and have no idea what dropped.

[tawny junco]

Yeah... 3k in commissions and over a year of daily missions. Retroactive those woulda been cool.

[forest echo]

Grinding for roon and then seeing that I need another bunch of XP for the medal felt kinda bad.

[young jetty]

Love the new UI and the few new features. The only thing that didn't really stick to me is that dorm prompt (see pic below). Other than that, everything is fine. I have no qualms about the fonts since... There's no problem with it really. It fits with the new UI. Love the build animation btw .

Anyways sorry for taking your time by making you read this. And thanks for the new UI

[rancid stone]

Is it me, or does it look like the bullets, planes, and torps during battle still seem to render at 30fps, but everything else is 60? It could be my eyes playing tricks on me but it seems a little jarring

[tawny junco]

As for the devs work: y'all breathed did a veritable miracle. Graphics are crystal clear and its running faster! Just wow! Good job on that!

[cursive karma]

think it's just you, everything is running 60 fps

[rancid stone]

Nah I mean the game itself is 60 but the animation of that stuff still appears to be rendered at 30, save for BB volleys

[tawny junco]

Dito: just ran 8-2 to see if difference in torps / shots to ships... look same.

Running 60 fps here ok.

[patent anchor]

Will there ever be a 5th and 6th fleet option? I kinda want to make a sub destroyer fleet tbh

[mystic oar]

UI and fonts need fixing, asap. How is the new player supposed to know 10oil cola isn't the same as 10gem meat pie??

[past steeple]

Is there any way to manually control the daynight cycle?

If not, can I put it for feedback?

[cursive karma]

by clicking on the plus symbol, that hasn't changed from the old ui the snacks thing is weird though as it's showing just the first 3 digits and not the whole

[mystic oar]

Aka it's broken

[cursive karma]

like the full course should be Snack: 20k

[verbal lily]

Wait..... Waiiiiiit!!
The background change??? One hour ago is a clear day, now its afternoon??? Amazing amazing.. But the time kinda off, it actually morning here.
Maybe, how about adjusting the realtime background connect to ones phone time? So its match? Love that feeling...
But this is good too.
Totally love it..

[cursive karma]

yup, day and night cycle AND seasonal changes!

[thorn musk]

c
ome

[ornate basin]

its based on PDT, which is wrong then because in summer on PDT time, the sun doesnt actually set until 9pm

[young jetty]

It's afternoon server time btw

[ornate basin]

yes its currently 4:12PM

[thorn musk]

c
ome

wtf is this

[mellow gyro]

what

[ornate basin]

text wrapping is a known issue

[cursive karma]

common text issue, tends to happen a lot when there isn't a correct break

[ornate basin]

dont double post, thanks

we’ll see it eventually

[thorn musk]

oke

[mystic oar]

Oh yes, me a European would enjoy an eternal night in the menu. Switching the feature off must be there too

[thorn musk]

bt why did faakyu get translated though? that is completely unnecessary

[cursive karma]

or you know, making the cycle be based on your timezone

[ornate basin]

you keep reporting bugs in the wrong place @thorn musk
its a known bug

[mystic oar]

Mandatory chat censorship is also unnecessary

[cursive karma]

that's been there since the beginning, dunno why it's still there too

[mystic oar]

American puritanism, that's why

[ornate basin]

alright lets not get political

[cursive karma]

this is a chinese base game

[mystic oar]

Then why is it, kawaakari?

Is it legally required?

[viscid halo]

Its how the devs implemented it, its up to the devs to change it. Nothing we can do for now.

[ornate basin]

in the long run, its up to the devs as clevebae said

[open lichen]

I like most of the update, but o

I’ve noticed the ui is way too far down on my ipad

[stable jetty]

I can’t see the Z23 event anymore even though its listed that it ends on 5/31?

[cursive karma]

it used to be much worse too iirc, is "ass" still being caught by the censor?

[echo lance]

most mobile games in north american region uses pst time zone.

[ornate basin]

most games in general located in north america use pdt/pst

I find this is only an issue to people who dont even live in NA

[echo lance]

bcoz en covers north america and was first introduced in it, its prob their design choice

[ornate basin]

this game is considered azur lane north america, thats how it was first introduced

[mystic oar]

It's even easier to fix then all the UI problems and bugs, and yet we're gonna be stuck with it for no reason at all

[patent anchor]

But the bugs have the first priority wouldn't you say?

[ornate basin]

of course

[mystic oar]

Tying it to local timezone would please both East and west US coast, not to mention the rest of the globe

[ornate basin]

anyways, this isn’t that channel to rant about what you dislike, just suggest, and carry on

[cursive karma]

though we can suggest local timezones for the day and night cycle in here

[mellow gyro]

do you realize how much that would fuck things up

[patent anchor]

That's, it, I thought this was general chat, anyway I'm gone, I don't want to clog up the feeds

[ornate basin]

theyre arguing about the timezone as well

[cursive karma]

depends on how ingrained it is with the server timer, if not too much you can just run a separate timezone

[ornate basin]

everything in game runs based on PDT

[hasty mountain]

so now that we got the UI update, unless I missed this option, can I suggest a filter option for "only non-max-enhanced" ships on the dock which probably already exists in the trello?

[mystic oar]

@ornate basin problem is no matter if we ask civilly or rant, most of the things we want we'll never get. even as simple as an actually immersive or at least togglable day/night cycle

[viscid halo]

if it exists and you know it, why are you suggesting it again?

@mystic oar we have to wait for devs to come online and reply us, there is nothing we can do about it.

[hasty mountain]

I don't know if it exists, I'm just guessing but still suggesting based on the "no-UI feedback" policy we had before

[viscid halo]

it does exist

[stable jetty]

Can i ask for bigger font settings?

[cinder cipher]

font and scaling jazz been suggested already

[stable jetty]

Thank you, i feel like i need 3 more pairs of glasses to see anything with the new ui

[tawny junco]

A no-transitions animation option would be nice too.

[cinder cipher]

its only been a few hours since release so gotta wait for devs to start on work tmrw or whenever

[cursive karma]

it's very late over there iirc

[young jetty]

Early*

[cinder cipher]

kawaakari said they were asleep but he forwarded them the list already so yea just waiting now

[tawny junco]

Ah, graveyard shift. Onky the dedicated...

[velvet adder]

probably almost morning time but yes is there any way to bump up that enhance trello somewhat

[ornate basin]

theyre in office soon
and I redirected the list to the feedback team (including myself)

not the staff

[cursive karma]

or the desperate cause some graveyard shifts pay for a need

[viscid halo]

7am for devs, servers up at 4am for them.

[cinder cipher]

oh my b

[ornate basin]

they’ll get it eventually, it just goes through us first

[tidal cradle]

If there is an option, sorry.
But id like to request some options for colorblind people regarding life bars, the new enemy bars are hard to discern the red from the dark grey for me (and probably many others with red green colorblindness)
Something like raising its brightness would help tons. Thanks for consideration.

[cinder cipher]

have same issue ;; its been recommended the contrast in general on it sucks

[cursive karma]

anyway other than ui issues, has actual submarine combat been suggested? the U-556 event shows what can be done to implement a similar design

[elfin kestrel]

For the new PvP UI: It would be nice if your current rank was bigger/bolder. The way it is now is a little strange because your opponents' ranks are big and noticeable but you have to squint at your own rank. Reset timer/exercise count would also be nicer bigger/bolder.

[cinder cipher]

oh a way to see nationality on gear would be nice just like a small text thing like ships bc i care ab that if its not already a way to see lo

2nd Niethil!!! 🤔

[winter lance]

Hey there, I have some feedback regarding the new UI. First issue is...I find it harder to click the torpedo launch button during battle. The new icon is kinda small, make it bigger please, or at least an option to make it bigger. Another issue, this one pretty small, its very hard to examine equipment in-game, specifically which gun/gear goes to which ship type. You are supposed to just click on the info screen to see it, but it often doesn't register.

[tawny junco]

New Medalliin Idea: Fox Miner... If you have Akage/Kaga, you understand.

Just tested and confirmed Fatal-X's issue on item equipment tapping.

[viscid halo]

@winter lance by info screen u mean in the details page on a girl in dock?

[sturdy rapids]

can subs also have clearing mode once you repeat it enough

[robust gulch]

iphone 6 here. My phone gets very hot and the game crashes after 5 mins with this new UI update. Is this a bug or do I need to get a better phone or just play on emu with this new UI?

[analog jay]

Iphone 6 tend to crash even before this UI update
Also wrong channel

[lofty sun]

I notice the new UI update removed the ability to view the ship collection in number order; it would be nice if that were a sort option again

[thick night]

can we remove the gray healthbar? is it toggleable?
honestly it's making a bit hard to tell the actual health of the ship

idk maybe I'm just used to the old health bar but it just automatically comes to me that if the bar looks full, then there's no problem

[pliant umbra]

its hard to see fleet size when its covered by bullet

[remote cobalt]

New UI are too much Tech Theme Design we can't read,
I just Love the Layout and Performance at this New

The Old UI have True AL Characteristic Theme color wich is different with other Game,
I hope the New UI have same Characteristic too in the future

[crimson dome]

New UI looks wonderful, but has a bit too much animation when opening dock and equipment menu. This is especially noticeable running the game at 30fps. It would improve the overall experience if some of the animations can be tone down a little bit for smoother gameplay.

Also when entering lecture hall, you cannot immediate exit afterwards (there is a little delay). Fixing the lag when entering would be nice. Overall UI the new UI looks nice.

[normal valley]

This new UI + 60 FPS = god-like....

[rotund parrot]

I hope new ui can be improved when we use split screen feature in phone, because some of button (like back button, on top left) is blocked by my notification bar

[woven tundra]

Can wasp be put behind hornet again rather than in between enterprise and hornet in collection?

[rotund parrot]

The main menu layout also feels odd when i use split screen

[smoky nest]

i would like a buitton to switch between old and new UI

[rough vale]

has anyone suggested to add a quick lock/unlock feature in the dock. something like this?

[jagged tiger]

mission collect all doesnt collect the unlocked and completed quests
ex: the ink quests

old UI no need, more work for devs that are alrdy working hard

why? when u get a new bote u get asked if u wanna lock it, in general u keep all botes @rough vale

[smoky nest]

Actually it woudn'T cause more work just add a button to switch between the UI since they probably still have the file for the previous one

[rough vale]

since they added the auto fill for enhancing, it makes sense that people will keep spares locked for limit breaking

just a small QoL feature that most other games have, which i didnt really feel the need for before they added the auto fill enhancing

[jagged tiger]

@smoky nest they still translate stuff and JP CN wont just be translate cuz they are made for new UI now
flat out NO sir

@rough vale not really auto enhance uses commons, they are common for a reason like run 3-4 twice u get most of the commons there
this is a MAYBE than a no

[rough vale]

not all commons can be farmed in normal story chapters though

[jagged tiger]

bulins arent really scarce too

[rough vale]

for most people yeah youre prolly right, its just something that ive wished AL had because i like to be efficient and save dupes

[jagged tiger]

i could disscuss how saving dupes isnt efficient, but thats not for #game-feedback so we should change channels

[grave kettle]

i dont really like that idea just because ship portraits are already crowded af

[jagged tiger]

should take this disscussion to #al-general or server-general channels

[rough vale]

it wouldnt make it more crowded, all it would do is you click on the universal lock button, then highlight which ships to lock/unlock, then click the button again

[sturdy rapids]

nothing wwrong with suggestion a quick lock/unlock feature. its gonna be low priority but still would be a nice QoL to add for people that want to lock their common dupes

[grave kettle]

ah didnt notice. then yea by all means that would be good

[rough vale]

literally every other gacha game that ive played has a quick lock/unlock feature so its obviously not a terrible idea. but ill leave it at that

[sturdy rapids]

Just wait for restart or the feedback team to read this. I personally had a richmond dupe being saved since i dont want to waste bulins for her but accidentally pressed Fill then Enhance cause i didnt notice what Fill did

[jagged tiger]

@velvet adder is it ok to disscuss here or wut, if u dont know could u ask mods for this channel?

[sturdy rapids]

imo Fill and Enhance being next to each other is just terrible since you can accidentally press one and the other cause of fat thumbs or just smol phone

[velvet adder]

@jagged tiger really discussions shouldnt be happening here just enough to get the suggestions down

[sturdy rapids]

one of those buttons should be placed lower from the other two so they dont get accidentally pressed

[rare jay]

I really can't participate much in this chat today, sorry Res and I will try to backread when we get some time

[sturdy rapids]

yeah thats fine. Its nice you dropped by to update the chat. Otsu 🍛

[agile raft]

I'm a bit late on this topic, but last week USA had a lootbox bill topic, and almost everywhere on games media related videos or sites, you'd find everyone talk about it...and a couple gacha games are already safeguarding themselves. Just curious if Yostar/Manjuu is going to do anything as well.

[random jay]

I feel like the green arrow doesnt fit with the theme of the rest of the UI

[gleaming sun]

I feel the new UI makes my phone hotter than previous UI. Or is it just me?

[ornate basin]

is yours using 60fps?

[gleaming sun]

Yes

[ornate basin]

thats why

[gleaming sun]

So I should turn it back to 30 fps

Then what phone can afford to play 60 fps?

[ornate basin]

yes, 60fps makes your phone run harder

[obtuse sable]

Anyone using tablets or iPads find the aspect ratio off on the main page of the game? My secretary is all sad and alone in the left corner.....😩😩😩

I want to see her legs at least...

[neat ridge]

it would be nice to preview the winning animation in skin store again, or else a preview option (all animations) for all skins before u buy

[fallow tiger]

New UI getting an update? Text looks so tiny now. For instance, I don't wanna have to squeeze my eyes every time I wanna check out how many HP bars the boss has left.

[lyric maple]

please add an option to disable the cursor (diamond that appears whenever you tap), as it's too laggy to be of any use to a lot of us

[obtuse sable]

Please I spent so much money on this game and I love it. I want to see my girls in full view.. not in the bottom corner.

I bought an iPad Pro for this game to run smoothly and now I dislike the main screen

[ornate basin]

its been suggested as I said in the other chat

dont double post, thanks

[obtuse sable]

Yes am

Mam

[fallow tiger]

Referring to this btw, for the example.

[sturdy rapids]

Yeah there's a shit ton of changes in the texts that makes it harder to read stuff. Like how the color contrast between white small text and gray-ish background just burns your eyes.

[sturdy rapids]

just wanna say some stuff im happy got implemented with the UI. So far:

• Auto-battle is saved
• Collect All Mission(heard its bugged tho)
• Notice being read(have to wait til reset tho)
  probably missed a couple of shit but yeah, very nice update, bugs aside.

[supple karma]

I don't like that we can't hide the attack formation box now.

[sturdy rapids]

oh and since we got the UI update now, can we make suggestions regarding UI improvements or are those still not accepted

[silk ravine]

[rare jay]

@sturdy rapids I'm gonna be bringing it up w/ Res and the team to see about those now

[ornate basin]

text wrapping issues are known

[clear heron]

probably not a coded message

[silk ravine]

also. these font choices are objectively poor. i'm having trouble reading some of these things depending on the monitor/phone i'm looking at it on

[sturdy rapids]

oh and it may just be me but the heart icon on ships with 100 affection is harder to see. I think the old style was better where it was bigger and more pink

[hardy orbit]

it's abit nitpicky, but can this button be placed on the corner just like previous version. that area also the place you will tap on tge next screen so you can just double tap that area and the exercise will just start.

[lost palm]

Can we change new font?

Number and message font so thin and small. Makes it hard to read

[idle junco]

Hey guys..i want to ask something..how to exit the game btw? I click back to button to exit but there's no popup to exit the game properly..i need to force exit everytime i want to exit

[sturdy rapids]

I know the game now zooms to the boss when they appear but i usually afk and dont notice the boss is right behind one of my fleet and its sometimes hard to see the boss. Suggestion is to add a red glowing overlay or something that just makes it obvious that the boss is there even if its behind ships. or just make your fleets smoler

[lyric maple]

please make the "new!" bigger and shinier like before, it used to be so shiny and now it's just a dark, barely readable or noticeable blur

[ornate basin]

if its the back button on your phone, its not apart of the game so you will have to force exit

[weary hollow]

It would be nice if I didn't have to log out/in again or restart the game to see the evening batch of missions. was kinda hoping the new ui would fix that.

[lost palm]

Also why remove spesial touch line from archive?

[rare jay]

It's a bug

It'll be fixed

[lost palm]

[silk ravine]

I thought pressing Back on the home menu prompted you to close the game in the old ui

[weary hollow]

it did

[idle junco]

yes indeed

[silk ravine]

So what do you mean it's not part of the game. It's just a feature that was overlooked or removed when the ui update was made.

[idle junco]

always forcing close game make me worried though

[ornate basin]

its device specific

not due to the game

[silk ravine]

I'm fairly certain the back function is inherent to all android devices

[nova dragon]

what phone do u have?

[idle junco]

the old ui prompt in my phone..the new one doesnt

[nova dragon]

mine doesnt prompt me and I have an s8

[weary hollow]

same

[sturdy rapids]

as long as you're not in battles force closing doesnt really affect your game

[nova dragon]

even if u are in battles it pauses it

[naive cobalt]

@restive mountain not gonna tag everyone involved, since there were a lot of people. Anyway, I sent the compiled list to staff, big thanks for creating it, cos I can't really backread everything right now (I will tho to catch feedback and suggestions that weren't part of that list later). I do hope they fix most of these things about new ui, but who knows if it's even possible.

Also I saw some mentions of "just give us back old ui" and ye, no, not happening, sorry.

[silk ravine]

who knows if it's even possible
I'm not sure if I understand what that means

[lyric maple]

i do have 2 suggestions i don't believe were on cyaneko's list, they're probably within my last couple of messages on this channel in case you don't end up backreading through all the repeated complaints

[naive cobalt]

couple of suggestions on that list are more "global". While something like font should be easily changeable by EN team - other things, like colour scheme certainly requires a lot more changes and depends entirely on cn devs.

[silk ravine]

It's just whether or not they'll do it. Anything's possible. Also it appears at least one feature of the old ui was outright removed.

[ornate basin]

are you talking about the back button

[silk ravine]

[ornate basin]

can you put a say on that restart?

[naive cobalt]

I still sent the list in its entirety. It's not my call or decision what's get implemented or changed, thats was just a comment from me, nothing more.

on what exactly?

I don't even know what's the problem

[ornate basin]

im sure we've settled before that the back button not working isnt really something the devs can change

this person is having an issue with the back button not working, claiming that it was entirely removed from everyone

[mellow gyro]

Isn’t there already a trello for it

[naive cobalt]

It's device dependant

works for me

Just checked it

[ornate basin]

~~thats what I said, thanks for commenting on that though, wouldnt listen to me ~~

[eager basin]

It's more like half its functionality was removed, you can use it to backtrack from menus, but you can't use it to quit the game like pre-patch.

[naive cobalt]

should be reported as a bug

prolly already was

[rare jay]

Nah, not for quitting the game w/ the back button specifically

[naive cobalt]

then it should be reported as a bug

[violet shale]

can we somehow tilt the map so I can see the enemy behind my ship? the shipgirl sprite blocks the level and size of the enemy fleet

[silk ravine]

Odd. I stated that several times it was specifically when attempting to exit the game by using the back button at the home menu. I guess that was lost in translation somewhere. Anyway, that is a bug (a glitch, unintended. Not usual)

[naive cobalt]

it was suggested to have outline of enemies behind your ships

[violet shale]

that'd def work

[remote cobalt]

twinkle twinkle little star,
Sorry Need time to Type
I just know the stars hidden there,
it need bigger stars to see

[naive cobalt]

yes?

[eager basin]

I think he's asking to make them bigger

[minor robin]

Please be more specific in future, this isn't a guessing game.

We ask you kindly not to make our job harder than it already is. 60 bug reports in the span of 6h is ridiculous enough as it is

[silk ravine]

https://i.hermici.de/2019-05-20_19-15-54.png

[minor robin]

That would be in #bug-reports
And it's a known issue regardless

[night ore]

Dear develepors may i ask

Why did you remove the special touch button

[clear heron]

That's a bug, and known.

Going to be fixed probably soon.

[night ore]

Oh ok then

Plus may i say this

The home button is great and all but my fingers always seem to be attracted to it

My suggestion is that there is an option where you can toggle so that when you press the home button there would be a pop up asking tht would you want to go back to the main menu.

This can be toggled on or off so tht the user wont get annoyed by there large fingers

Tht is all

[lyric maple]

suggestion- don't have the "certificate of marriage" text until you've actually oathed the character, otherwise checking affection level feels strange

[night ore]

Uhhhh ok

[lyric maple]

i wasn't replying to your suggestion, just making another one, dude

[night ore]

Ohh crap

Sorry aboit tht man

[lyric maple]

no worries lol

[eager basin]

Can the banner become a button https://puu.sh/Dv7eI/a83b4c4fa1.png

[lost palm]

Honestly old ui do this better. Hope you guys can fix the font. Make it bold and upscale it

[lyric maple]

it's become extremely easy to misclick to the side of the "confirm" (or the "start" in the dialogue just before this) and cancel/exit then have to start over instead, making buttons bigger or making a dead area around the buttons so if you miss them nothing will happen would solve this

[velvet adder]

The text in mail is very difficult to read. Considering i have a very large phone(Galaxy Note8) i feel like this is a pretty big problem visually

It needs to be brighter, and the fact that the background and text are similar in color make it difficult to read.

[tawny junco]

Grey text on darker grey background is harder to read...

[sterile wing]

it's probably a long shot but now that the kizunai text is bugged for the skins and showing non-eng I'm kinda loving it -- if it would be possible to get a toggle when they fix it that would be rad (low priority)

[keen fjord]

Just a suggestion, maybe other user who use split screen often also feel this. The HQ button can't be tapped, because it's so close with the "white line"(marked orange) to resize the split screen, so the phone react with that instead of HQ button. Please add some margin on the lower part so those buttons placed a bit higher

[clear heron]

Split screen is a device thing, so they're not going to necessarily adjust to accommodate I think

[shadow locust]

Hi, great game, love it. Is it possible to add in more formations? 8 will be great. Many thanks!

[clear heron]

Fleet's? Jp/CN has extras added, so we can expect some for the future

[shadow locust]

[keen fjord]

Ye ik it's only on limited device. I just find it hard to access dorm and academy with split screen on. If they can accommodate it then I'm glad, if no then I can't complain as it's not a problem all user had

[covert lance]

So far I realised Akashi's Fanbook Info still contains the information for Anshan's Coloring book. Small detail but something to note.

[naive cobalt]

It's known

[hasty mountain]

I guess this one goes here.... look at this screenshot, the submarine spawned the map where the Retreat button currently is, then I moved my fleet to engage that enemy, and then the sub moved through the enemy trying to rush the one that spawned above; can we have so when moving, subs will prioritize engaged enemy fleets if they are in movement range?

[forest cipher]

Hp bars being greyed out instead of blacked out makes hp bars sometimes difficult to read. And many of the ui elements are too small or blend in too much making it difficult to see, especially most of the text.

[velvet adder]

@keen fjord you could just try playing on landscape! that should fix it

or does the landscape have weird setup?

[forest cipher]

I think the skin shop is way less convenient now, as the old one showed all the skins art and price without needing to select them.

[keen fjord]

@velvet adder actually, i used split screen so i can do other things such as doing assignment, reading manga, chatting etc while playing so i prefer it portrait. It's just feels weird lol like chatting with only left/right half of the screen. Nevertheless, thanks for the suggestion

[velvet adder]

yeah thats what I can do as alternative since its like that

or make AL on the bottom? @keen fjord

[keen fjord]

Yes. That's what im doing when I need to click HQ button

[velvet adder]

When do we finally get more fleets? with how many different things there are now in the game 4 fleets is nothing and I hate constantly having to switch my fleets around

[naive cobalt]

it was increased on JP, so we'll get it at some point as well

[velvet adder]

How many does JP have?

[naive cobalt]

6 I think?

[golden geyser]

The game is great i absolutely love it but the randomized times frustrates me. Seeing a build that takes 2- 4 hours you think it would be a elite or a sr but i keep on getting commons and rares from long build times.

[velvet adder]

Okay thanks. Its still not enough but a lot better than 4

[naive cobalt]

build time is dependent on ships' class, not the rarity

[velvet adder]

Just look up the corresponding build times https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Building

[hardy basin]

Is it possible to make the emotes slightly bigger...

[peak blade]

Any chance that we could implement a server transfer by paying with gems, wanna join a guild with some friends

[ornate basin]

https://trello.com/c/IEqCR5De/468-server-transfer-feature its been suggested

Trello

Server transfer feature

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...

has it been suggested to combine, say, 5-10 elite bulins into an sr bulin? would be nice since as you progress you start needing them less and less

[shy pond]

So, here goes my take on the new UI. Overall a nice job, however, several issues rear their head, most of which are already reported. The UI does not scale and the fonts, controls in and out of battle (Including the BB aim reticle) are a tad too small. It is far too easy to cancel things clicking away and now for the two bugs not announced in #known-bugs : The commander stat menu with the chibi of the ships does not have a still of appropriate size there, but rather a live view of the chibi which then is out-of-proportion and rather weird to look at. The latter one is the greyed-out HP bar, which is very colorblind-unfriendly. At the same time, there are some nice QoL changes, but it will take time for people to adjust to the new UI. But it definitely needs refinement along the way.

[sinful garnet]

Why with the last update the shell skin "Fakkyu" was changed in Japanese? Personally I preferred the old one

[naive cobalt]

it's a bug

@sterile wing Pretty sure it was suggested

aight I couldn't find the ticket but I'm awful at navigating trello

Restart? Could you look at my post? Also, found one more annoying thing: The UI dynamic time change. Could us EU players adjust the timer on that?

[naive cobalt]

I looked at it, ye. I sent feedback about new UI to staff and HP bars colour was one of them

not sure what you mean about chibi tho

Found some more. EVA stat is listed as SPD stat in the new UI, which is rather confusing

[clear heron]

Ya, I noted that. Don't know if it's reported, but it's in the list of things I'm going to compile

[shy pond]

The fonts with the affinity screen are far too small, same goes for the Details screen for equipment in dock. I can barely read it

[flint knoll]

Is this a place for suggestions?

[shy pond]

Okay, with the Chibi for the secretary not being a still, it is on the UI main screen when you hvae logged in. The screen where you can navigate to anywhere for clarification. So, there is a square in the top left corner which used to house the still of the chibi in the old UI. Now it has been replaced by an animated one, but that one is a bit weird with Little Bel and such due to the chibi having so much vertical movement there, moving her face halfway off the screen. This is shown to a lesser extent with every character

[clear heron]

Yes, as long as it's not under the list in pins, and also check trello for already submitted suggestions.

[soft arch]

I had to give up on pvp this season since due to mantainance i missed 50 points :(

[flint knoll]

Hmmm more of a question really. Any chance they’ll allow a free guild rename in the future now that the char limit has been removed?

[clear heron]

we might see comp for PVP, as we've had some in the past.
I'm not sure if we would, guild renames are already a thing?

[flint knoll]

Yeah but the char limit was 9 before, it’s now unlimited. It’s annoying to have to pay again for something that they decided to change later, so I was just asking. I’ll just suggest it to them via email.

[clear heron]

No, we can still probably take it as a suggestion, I'm just making sure about everything

[flint knoll]

Okay, np, just feel like a free one time change would be appreciated by a lot of people with the decision to remove the limit.

idk how viable the option is though. Ty for hearing me out 😃

you mean that entire square?

[woven tundra]

Yeah, for some reason the map let me scroll to the far left but not the right

just tap to the side of it and it should go away

Background day/night cycle seems to be based on server time. EN has players from all timezones - for me night starts in the morning. I believe it should be based on local (device) time instead.

There should be an option to use bars to force a 16:9 resolution or other standard as some people simple cannot play at 3:4 or any non wide resolution

[short sedge]

Oh sorry, understood

i'd like to suggest making it possible to remove the ! from those without completing them since they get in the way of me knowing when research is done and i have no intention of spending the resources while still 2 mil exp off

[hexed garden]

^ i've suggested that before the ui update
anyway i would like to suggest to increase the contrast between daily limited commissions and rng limited commissions.
the middle 2 are actually rng ones, while the top and bottom are dailies

[shy pond]

SEVERE bug found! This happens if you open the notice panel and then close it in-game. The blur stays

[minor robin]

this isn't the #bug-reports channel

also that's fixed by restarting the game

[shy pond]

Oh, I got the wrong channel?

@minor robin I know it is fixed that way, but again, something that needs to be fixed. May I DM you the details?

[minor robin]

no need to

[half sand]

we don't have any LUL emote among the chat stickers

petition to make a sticker for the in-game chat, or some other version of a LUL

calling someone an idiot with sandy has a totally different feeling

[normal vine]

so if my bug report, that "Back" on the main screen no longer gives you a prompt to close the game, was rejected with "intended feature", I'd kindly ask that this feature gets put back in
thank you very much

@minor robin

[ornate basin]

its device specific

nothing we can do about it

[normal vine]

it used to work both on Memu and my phone, and now it works on neither

[ornate basin]

maybe it’ll work next hotfix, maybe it wont

[analog jay]

Oh i think thats intended

[ornate basin]

we cant do anything about it

[normal vine]

@ornate basin you can make a card ...

[minor robin]

I'll add it later anyways

I need to backread this channel over the last 12h

[sturdy rapids]

if there's so much confusion on whether its intended or not just ask intern-kun

[ornate basin]

theres no confusion

[minor robin]

For now, it's just simple to quit, just tab out and quit the game

[sturdy rapids]

or just drop it now i guess since ender is gonna make a card

[ornate basin]

because its not a bug

[minor robin]

Whether the back button effect is returned is another story

Until then, that's the fix we can offer

The method that Apple users have always had to use

Because they don't exactly have back buttons

[grizzled raven]

can you make it so that the words properly connect in the dialogue

[ornate basin]

we can take it as feedback, but even then, we dont have a say on how it goes about, and we believe its not in the power of the devs

[minor robin]

Text wrapping is a bug if anything

[sturdy rapids]

isnt that the purpose of this channel tho, to take feedback, whether or not it gets accepted or not

[minor robin]

It's been an issue since the old UI

[grizzled raven]

Oh

[sturdy rapids]

if its rejected then there's nothing anyone can do.

[minor robin]

Tho it's gotten far worse

[ornate basin]

people have always mentioned it to be a bug though, so we never took it

[minor robin]

Like I said, we'll add it to feedback

[grizzled raven]

So that's why didn't notice anything till now

[sturdy rapids]

is that so, i guess its a bug for some and feature for others

[ornate basin]

@minor robin also they compiled a suggestions list here, which I sent to the team and restart sent it to alo, so if you see a long post by cyaneko, its that

[sturdy rapids]

explains why people are complaining on it being removed

[tawny python]

Am I allowed to complain about some things? Or offer some suggestions?

[sturdy rapids]

just complaining wouldn't really be encouraged, having suggestions to back up those complaints would be good tho

[ornate basin]

complaining =/= suggestions
we would like suggestions

[sturdy rapids]

since if its just complaints then this would just be a rant channel
and its not

[ornate basin]

things like “I cant read it”
arent good suggestions
things like “I cant read it, can you make the font bigger” are suggestions

[devout veldt]

So have written up some issues i have with the new UI:
-The opacity and contrast chosen feels very hard to look at over time, would be nice if they toned it down, mainly it feels like theres too much colour. (opacity in the dorm is rough for me especially)
-The new oath borders are very underwhelming and feels like they could be made abit bigger or visible
-In the dock, especially the numbers on gear is very hard to read on mobile, mainly i feel like it's hard to see what you want to see thats actual useful info, would prefer a new font or a bigger size.

[quiet obsidian]

Can staff do announcements in more than one timezone? Like maybe UTC? Or GMT?
Currently the maintenance times require a good old googling to even figure out what time they are rather than you know it being "oh it starts at 9AM British Summer time, right on"

[devout veldt]

not sure whats already said but thats my main concerns

[sturdy rapids]

isn't maintenance always at the same time though? Exactly during daily reset

[ornate basin]

its at 1AM tonight

[tawny python]

Okie^.^! Thank you! I wasn’t just going to complain, I wanted to offer some suggestions too! Thank you for being kind 😃

[ornate basin]

1 hour after daily reset

[normal vine]

i.e. right now

[sturdy rapids]

adding UTC/GMT sounds great then

[ornate basin]

im sure its been suggested

I believe restart has told the staff directly that people would like more announced times, but we havent seen that

I would have to backread

[quiet obsidian]

Yeah. We know that. But the issue is is that maybe half the planet don't figure out their timezones from PDT. Most mobile games give at least 2 timezones (one America centric one Europe Centric). azurlane is the only one I've seen which doesn't do it. XD

[sturdy rapids]

just ask restart when he's back then.

[ornate basin]

azur lane is not other games though, so just because others do it doesnt mean azur lane is inclined to!

[quiet obsidian]

Also, can the announcements be in 24 hour clock...? Military game which doesn't use military clock....

[sturdy rapids]

while that's not wrong... there are other practices that other games do which would benefit if AL does it to.

[ornate basin]

it follows NA clocks, which isn’t 24 hour

AL EN is based off AL NA, thus the PDT/PST timezone and PM and AM systems

[sturdy rapids]

Bringing up what other games do just provides an example of something that works for others which may also help AL too. Of course it could also not work but those are always situational

[quiet obsidian]

Uh, you know that am and pm are arbitrary and it's coded in UTC right?

Which is 24 our clock

[lost nova]

Don't know if this is where to say it, but the new health bars are incredibly hard to read when you're colourblind

[ornate basin]

its been suggested and sent to staff

[tawny python]

I have a couple suggestions from this new update! ^.^!
~I’m having a hard time reading the new font for the numbers. I am dyslexic, so that could be it, but I am just having trouble reading numbers I would like to have at a glance.
I think having a different font would be more helpful.
~When selecting multiple ships, I’m having a really hard time knowing which ships I have selected, at a glance.
I would just suggest making the selected ships more obviously differentiated
~The opacity seems to be a bit much. I feel like there is too much happening with all the different selection options, and it’s just slightly overwhelming.
~I think it would be a nice addition to be able to choose your gender as the commander. I know this game was more so made for males in mind, but as a female who really enjoys the game, it feels unsettling for Unicorn to call me, “big brother”

[naive cobalt]

It's not that hard to remember when reset time is in your time zone and "At 1 AM" just means "1 hour after the reset"

[ornate basin]

personally, I get by knowing my reset times in ALJP are 7AM and 8AM

[normal vine]

12am/pm is confusing as shit, though - why does 12am come after 11pm instead of 11am?

[ornate basin]

something google can answer

[naive cobalt]

that is something you should ask whoever designed this system

[minor robin]

it's not relevant to this discussion, how the 12h clock works

[velvet adder]

I can see where 24h time could be an improvement a majority of the world uses 24h over am/pm as its designed to eliminate confusion. Plus even in NA which is where the game is based a large number of the population including most professional organizations use 24h time

Coming from someone who lives in NA

[minor robin]

Also regarding the UI being hard to see

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/377371747290185728/580308404837548065/image0.png

From Jp twitter^

[quiet obsidian]

I don't think it's good advice from a support to be saying "just Google it" when it's literally an accessabilty thing and takes less than 5 minutes to add 2 extra numbers rather than a AM and PM stuck at the end.

[sturdy rapids]

so are we just gonna wait for jp to implement a fix and we follow their update?

[ornate basin]

that fix is happening as we spwak

@quiet obsidian

[minor robin]

Regardless

[sturdy rapids]

just asking so we'll know if suggestions regarding text is gonna be rejected for now til update comes live

[minor robin]

regarding the EN text formatting, we'll stop taking them till AFTER this maint

cos that's not something a JP fix will fx
and we don't know which in EN will be fixed

the JP maint is gonna be fixing stuff like UI opacity and colour balance

[past steeple]

I have a suggestion that isn't covered from what I've seen
Controllable day/night cycle. Some people moves timezones a lot/ doesn't live in NA

[devout veldt]

has anything been said about how hard it is to see the oath borders? their overly small and tiny, would like them to use up more space on the dock portraits and chat icons

[ornate basin]

its been covered many times

[past steeple]

oh right

[minor robin]

suggested multiple times already, which is difficult since it's a legacy issue with the very coding itself

[past steeple]

welp rip.

i take it that it's gonna be borderline impossible to impliment it

[minor robin]

@devout veldt in this channel? yes

[devout veldt]

[minor robin]

at least i think it was

we even had a bug report come in to change the opacity

Shit's weird

I'll double check again later

[somber rain]

I didn't see this suggestion towards new UI (or i just didn't look hard enough), but it would be great if they changed the enemy health bars a bit on-screen, maybe a brighter red color.
I'm kind of forced to check the bar of top-screen, cause the enemies bar one is hard to tell if it's moving.

[minor robin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/377371747290185728/580308404837548065/image0.png

let's 🤞 and see if it will be fixed

until then it's been noted

[somber rain]

oh they are aware, well that's good. Hopefully yeah, and ty

[gray yacht]

Menuing transitions are smooth, but everything is tiny and monochromatic, I can barely read and distinct wherever is interactive area or background.

[minor robin]

read up fam

[soft arch]

wow the devs are doing a fantastic job. Thanks

[sour monolith]

Health bar indicators should go back to Green - Red instead of Green - Grey

[minor robin]

It's been noted, let's hope JP maint fixes that

[sour monolith]

Should choose a different highlight color other than yellow

[keen fjord]

So much issues with split screening. Is there any chance this will be fixed in the future? Because I used split screen most of the time

[woven tundra]

can this be minimised permanently instead of showing up after every battle?

[wind owl]

In terms of playing on a tablet with a different aspect ratio to the phone, I preferred the old way of adding 'black bars' (or background elements) - during loading screen the edges of the artwork are clipped off now where they didn't used to be before.

With this, the screen for the individual ship from the dock and archives shows the artwork too low on the screen.

I would prefer there to be an option to force the 'standard' aspect ratio and just have black bars on the top and bottom of the screen instead of scaling.

[short minnow]

Can you add stacking rewards when you press Collect All button in the near future?

[sturdy rapids]

still hoping that the menu can be accessible from any screen

[nocturne panther]

Either what MotocrossFire proposed or have a row per mission, with a scroll bar if the list is taller than the screen

[sturdy rapids]

row/mission or row/reward sounds good as an alternative to what MCF said

[static needle]

Do we have some compensation for the PVP people who lost 5 charges due to unintended extended maint

[sturdy rapids]

speaking of, do we have anything on guilds yet or is it still a stay tuned ™ thing

[gloomy mauve]

It would be nice to be able to scroll in the dock even if you press in between those icons and be able to scroll on the map when scrolling outside of the map

[small vine]

can we extend the duration of how long night-time commissions are available for?

[naive cobalt]

was suggested

[errant yarrow]

Idk if it is already listed since my phone does not let me go see the list, but
It would be nice to have full widescreen gameplay or at least remake screen panels on left and right during the engagement.
Also, dorm menus need to be remade to match new UI.

[honest rune]

Enhance 2x exp for the same ship for Rare and up is useless

[misty flicker]

Make the exp stored number readable

[slate monolith]

Want to say that pic should be in #461381136661217283 though so much right now @remote cobalt

[remote cobalt]

why I always placing wrong room

[slate monolith]

Hey it happens to the best of us

[proud snow]

The new UI is good but the mix of the old UI is certain places are implemented poorly. The map and battleground looks zoomed out and the buttons are way to small. What on earth is this? Shouldn't there be a way to adjust buttons size?

[pliant otter]

Hi, game is bad on iPad right now because of how the character sprites are referenced in the game itself which causes misplacement of characters on platforms with weird sizes (i.e. iPad/ weird phones with weird resolutions). This is my proposal in a way where it can fix your weird screen issue forever and still give a professional looking start screen without worrying about screen sizes:

This is what the game looks like now on an iPad Pro 12.9"

As you can see, the menu box with event ads is referenced from the middle of the screen along with the text box, but the shipgril sprite is referenced from the bottom of the screen, which then causes a huge empty space at the top of the screen, which is extremely jarring and a huge waste of space that could have been used for other stuff.

[proud snow]

Wow...that is weird. Well, I agree that the propotions are done poorly. The size of loading chicks are way too small making it look like a incoherent UI of some crappy game in a short period of time.

[pliant otter]

but now you understand why they are so hesitant to release the new UI

[proud snow]

Agree. The new UI is not exactly great.

[elder garnet]

when main fleet got hit by suicidal bomber, the explosion is to little to notice unlike on the old UI

[celest abyss]

Sorry if this is posted already, but is it possible the item numbers on gold items in the mail can be made easier to read, please? The contrast is kinda poor, so I can't read them without zooming, but other rarities I don't have to zoom in to read the number.

[pliant otter]

There's no notification at all for all damage that is going into the backline

[elder garnet]

only visible when firing main gun and got hit by suicidal bomber at the same time.

[honest rune]

Make "Selected" more visible

[open flame]

Ok, it's like a knife in my back. You have tricked me with a 18:9 menus, and yet gameplay at 16:9 ratio. Is 18:9 ratio a joke to you?

[small vine]

will server migration ever be available? even if it was at a high fee i'd probably still do it

[proud snow]

Make "Selected" more visible
Agree

[sturdy rapids]

server migration should be impossible due to fairness. If you were from an old server and migrate to a new server then you'll have an unfair advantage over other people in the server

[slate monolith]

@sturdy rapids actually they don't have a server migration to begin with as of now

[sturdy rapids]

never mentioned it was possible

[honest rune]

You can see behind your fleets, now is just worst

[proud snow]

Look...What is this? The UI has failed us in the details.

[merry elm]

@proud snow Known

[proud snow]

Still got so many other UI problems to be honest. Yes, the new UI is good but there is so many scaling problems.@merry elm

[celest solar]

The way notifications obscure the screen for seemingly every action is pretty rough

[limpid epoch]

Hey there! First time poster here, also new to the game. I've read a lot of the past comments, so I see many issues have been adressed already. So I'll just give my opinion here, and sorry if it's already been said.

I don't want to be mean or sound entitled especially since I'm new to the game, I'm sure the devs put a lot of effort into the new UI and ofc there's bound to be hiccups and stuff to iron out, but I just wanted to say: I REALLY don't like the new UI from a design perspective. I just picked up the game a week ago, so I'm not really nostalgic for the old UI and there are things the new one does indeed better, but I really have to question the design choices here. Problems with readability and scaling aside, why is the new UI is so cold, sterile and "futuristic" when the game is about cutesy ship waifus who should make you feel warm. Just the difference between the dorm / academy screen and the rest of the UI is staggering. Between chibi girls and frilly outfits why the cold blue and gray, why all the edges, why the hologram matix dots? I'm already afraid to accidentally push a wrong button and send my girls out an airlock into space :P

Could we maybe get different (warmer) color schemes? Different Themes altogether (even for gems)? Or just round off the edges a bit? Again, just my opinion and preference, certainly others will disagree, but I thought I'd give my 2ct.

[proud snow]

I feel that the new UI is good but the scaling is very bad. Just start grinding or even check yr dorm and you will see the difference, ppl.

[queen kayak]

Regarding the new UI, I would really appreciate it if the devs can add a feature to show the current mood of the ships in the dorm's second floor selection page. It really is a bother to select a ship just to see if her mood is mix or not and then change her back if it is.

[jagged tiger]

oof late but
top of the screen, hearts go above a bit of the new UI, disappears but still bugs me

idk if its in for smooth heart animation/shake but still bugs me

also 60fps is killing me

[keen raptor]

I realised when i tried to use the share button, the picture of the ship in the twitter post doesnt have the server and name anymore. Would it be okay to add that info back?

[forest cipher]

@valid shard thats for bug reports probably

[trim cape]

If yes, could we increase "New" words 's size a bit large?

[honest rune]

I don't think that is necessary (auto fill)

[dusk badge]

can i ask something, my friend can't access his accoun on Avrora server, he's playin on 2 server, lexington and avrora, can some one help me to solve this prob?

[nocturne panther]

In my opinion, if you care about ship enhancement effectiveness, auto-fill as it is today only works if you have few common ships (12 or less) that you can press the button to nearly instantly load everyone, then cherry-pick the ones that benefit the most instead of having to go through the choice screen that has a noticeable load time

For example, on the above screenshot, the auto-filler could've chosen 2 Pensacolas that have 46 FP and 22 RLD total enhancement value, then pad the remaining needed FP and RLD with a common CL => total 3 ships consumed, not 11 like on the screenshot

But this would require the auto-filler to become smarter and I don't know if that's too much work to put in

[honest rune]

Yeah in the end is what I did

[nocturne panther]

And of course it can never be perfect, because the player most likely has a full perspective of what ships they want to enhance to pick the enhancement fodder accordingly and the auto-filler most likely does not

[urban star]

Not sure if it's mentioned, love the new UI, but now when you restock dorm supplies, the "restocking complete!" notification or whatever makes it really hard to see your supply bar

[static needle]

if u in super endgame and grinds alot eday, you wont care whatever autofill selects but is very convenient, no most time waste clicking things

[honest rune]

Idk some priority for the stats? For example in this case the algorithm goes for the best firepower stats then reload?

[static needle]

makes me wish, medallizing feature also has autofill on rare ships

[thin egret]

known?

love this feature though

[wanton arch]

I would love to see push notifications available for research completion

[nocturne panther]

It's known and should've been in #bug-reports

And sure, I just hope what I proposed is a strict improvement over the current auto-filler with no real drawbacks

Well, with a drawback of not clearing fodder quickly enough, maybe

[thin egret]

ouch, missed channel, sorry

[nocturne panther]

Because it prioritises efficiency which makes it consume the least amount of ships possible

[scenic storm]

the strategy popout in a stage is kinda hard to close right now

[velvet adder]

ik the UI is new I'm either clumsy or my thumb too big but the home hub button is a little to close to the sort button when choosing ships manually for the long commission, I seem to press a lot on it instead of pressing sort . But I am playing on big tablet though

[idle zinc]

the arrow keys in "Fleets" could be bigger. i feel like pressing it 5-8 times before it switches to fleet 2 same with the slider bar in "Dock" (slides every 3rd input). yeah i have fat fingers. thx

[zealous fractal]

Playing this game on iPad is soo awful

[rare jay]

The AL JP Twitter stated recently that they're looking into fixing the ratio for those types of devices so it's safe to assume we'll get that fix as well when it comes out

[zealous fractal]

Like the game is telling me to get a new phone

[cursive plank]

Are we really changing to Big Sis? I mean Cleve Aniki is a thing, and if everyone calls Biamarck her and only U-556 says Big Bro why is it a problem?

I loved that nod to the history, please do not take that away from me

[slate monolith]

Actually it is accurate for U-556 to call Bismarck big brother due to historical accounts. I mean it's not everyone in the Iron Blood calls her big brother.

[cursive plank]

Yeah, let it be a U-556 only thing

[static needle]

its just like unicorn calling me oniichan

[slate monolith]

It's kind of like how a few ships call Cleveland Cleavebro

[cursive plank]

Except Big Bro is the better and more accurate one in this circumstances?

[slate monolith]

I thought it was Clevebro due to the JP translation for Aniki

[cursive plank]

The thing is the original thing is german, got wrongly translated to Japanese so why should it be wrong on EN too? I don't get it

Bismarck's has more case than Cleveland's just a character trait

[honest rune]

Sub damage is too small

[velvet adder]

Protip, give them non-shit gear

[slate monolith]

Problem is it's kind of hard getting good sub gear now

[nocturne panther]

It could be stated that it's the JP version that is more eligible for a fix to match IRL references, but since it's a EN feedback channel

[cursive plank]

I mean, we are getting the exact paper, why should it be changed just because someone doesn't like their waifu being referred as a brother (you can enlarge the in game pic to check)

[tall granite]

is asking for a way to see the drop rate for ships in game too much to ask? i'd be cool to know what the chance is for the ships you want kinda like in the build tab so you know if you can just pack a small bag or if you need to set up a tent

[cursive plank]

So change JP then, thats the right call, not change EN

[pliant otter]

You know how half the stuff you see is really small in the new UI? Well, take a look at these:

On the iPad, the current backlines literally take up the entire screen. This is due to the fact that the game shrinks the battle screen to that of a normal handphone, but the game up the resolution of the character sprites to the full height of the screen that you have, so basically the character just takes up the entire battle screen and you can't see ANYTHING.

[finite stream]

Did you report this already?

[pliant otter]

So, basically, when you use airstrike/ BB cannons, you can't see ANYTHING at all

IDK help me report or something I'm lazy af

No, I never reported anything before so I have no idea how to do so

[finite stream]

Go on #bug-reports and report it with the screens u done with the same explanations

or use belfast bot but i have no idea how to use it

[merry elm]

DM !feedback to Belfast

[urban star]

This is what I was referring to about the restocking notification taking up the bar

[slate monolith]

They need to have that restock notification bar a bit higher, or have the snacks section a bit lower there

[slow tulip]

can we have collapse button for this four panel? I think it's little annoy me when boss on corner bottom right

[clear heron]

You can tap the left side of it to collapse it, but I think a more visible option has been conveyed

[hushed pecan]

New update looks sick, keep it up guys!

[dusty knot]

The archives for the new UI look pretty good, but it would be nice if they were still easily quantifiable by IDs eg. 001-386 like the old system, easier to keep track of when ships are added to the roster and other things (made a seperate database spreadsheet to keep track of my roster and progression of ships in general, the IDs kept things in line and made it easier to know what i have and dont have within the game)

[tardy olive]

I have a few complains about the memento tab guys. Ill leave the reddit post where i talk about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/brdljt/the_update_has_made_tracking_ships_more_difficult/

[frank helm]

Ability for a player to exchange ships from 2 different fleets on the map so that when you flunk a boss battle, you can retreat and exchange ships so that you can attempt it again with new ships instead of abandoning the run.

[tender sapphire]

Now we can favourite ships but can we favourite equipment. That way it's easier to trash useless equipment.

[gray rune]

You guys need to seriously work on hyphenation, this has been a issue since the beginning of EN and still is to this date
what i mean by hyphenation is the breaking of English words between newlines in a single paragraph
i.e. a single word like "with" should never be"wit" next line "h", it just doesn't make any sense, any word with only one consonance should never be broken up

[ornate basin]

it was actually a fixed issue

and now its come back

anyways, word wrapping and text breaking is a known issue

and its not low priority

[snow juniper]

so glad we're out of beta. /s

Ontopic: You might want to look at the ui absolute/relative positioning.

[velvet adder]

does the Dev know there are wrong Dates in Akashi coloring book info page?

[ornate basin]

known bug

[velvet adder]

so Which date is the 2nd coloring book suppose to unlock?

[ornate basin]

generally following the other events, it should unlock the next day, if the first coloring page is finished

[velvet adder]

thank you

[versed epoch]

And I tried to click on the profile and cleanse him away but nothing happened.

[naive cobalt]

Probably a bug

Also just because it's a screenshot of someone else saying it - doesn't make it ok to post this

[versed epoch]

Aight. Noted.

1. Apologies and 2) I hope the bugs get fixed soon.

[opal pawn]

The new UI remove the bullin / purrin / dups count when you enter the lb screen so i would like them to bring it back since i do it to check how many bullin purrin i have in my dock instead of manual counting

[scenic storm]

why does the strategy popup in stage never stay closed?

[tawny junco]

Found possible priority ship bug...

[ornate basin]

@tawny junco bugs go in #bug-reports

[tawny junco]

Thanks!

[ornate basin]

@scenic storm do you mean for the submarines?

[scenic storm]

theyre the same thing now arent they?
fleet formation + repairs + sub stuff

[ornate basin]

yes

[grand sand]

I just wanted to give some positive feedback. Thanks for adding the character that is equipping the equipment in the upper right. It makes it a lot easier to swap gear around.

[velvet adder]

I got my submarine staying in this position 2 times and my friend got that bug aswell

[lyric maple]

has anyone else complained that u-556's event is too hard and has no explanation or tutorial? i haven't found any

[grand sand]

It's not hard, give me a sec the wiki has the mechanics

[lyric maple]

alright

[grand sand]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Events/One_Small_Promise

[lyric maple]

mechanics should be added in the game though, since we've never had asimilar event it's confusing

[grand sand]

idk, I figured it out in the first attempt

[lyric maple]

first day was easy

second day is really confusing

[ornate basin]

theres a ? info button on the event

[grand sand]

Avoid the mines, shoot them if you have too stay underwater as much as possible, avoid the circles under the destroyers

[lyric maple]

oh thank kawa

[gloomy mauve]

It would be nice to have a button or some more space to collapse this

[ornate basin]

you collapse it by clicking to the left side of it

[gloomy mauve]

i know but it is a small space

[ornate basin]

though I will admit, it took me a try or two to find out where exactly to tap, but once I got it, its no longer an issue

@lyric maple for ref

[gloomy mauve]

adding those 3 bars and some more space on the left would be nice, also to show that you can actually collapse it

[lyric maple]

yea i found the button it just doesn't tell you anything

and the event is still insanely difficult unless im missing something :/

[ornate basin]

I believe its supposed to be difficult

[lyric maple]

I'll just skip the gear lol

would like someone to at least add an indicator of how many torpedoes you get per round

wait nvm i see there is one it's just so tiny i can't read it

may as well be invisible

[naive cobalt]

and the event is still insanely difficult unless im missing something :/ Snake, this is a sneaking mission

[lyric maple]

i managed to finish today's one but a mechanic explanation in-game would be nice and if they're just going to keep getting harder i probably won't manage oof

[naive cobalt]

https://streamable.com/4weyw

I mean I'm not flexing, I just feel like they misunderstood what the game asks to do

[ornate basin]

thats not the energy I get from uniflex tbh SORRY, intended it as "woo"

thats what I believe as well

[naive cobalt]

I'm just bulling you

[lyric maple]

when i go half as close to the circles as you i get attacked

[ornate basin]

are you submerged?

[naive cobalt]

you sure you under water?

[lyric maple]

yea

[naive cobalt]

you need to keep your distance when you surface

[lyric maple]

rip

[naive cobalt]

or they'll continue tracking you

[lyric maple]

it's probably not helped by the lag i gt when anything in the game moves

i get 2-3 whole seconds of lag at the start of every battle (more in exercises) and around 1 second every time someone uses an ex barrage/all out assault, launches an airstrike, or when a new wave appears

by "seconds of lag" i mean "seconds of completely frozen screen while the enemy does damage and i could be firing torps into the sky without seeing them"

none of this happened before UI change

[sterile gazelle]

Is this a known issue? 0 exp earned. It’s in the World 11-3

[ornate basin]

known visual bug, also for reporting bugs next time please go in #bug-reports thanks

[shy pond]

Can we get the skin flavour texts back in the skin shop (the ones visible when browsing through skins in the dock)? They provide some nice explanation and at least for me they did make a difference on my opinion of purchase... So could you add that? Would be much appreciated.

[pine wraith]

Why is the Switch button made so much smaller compared to the retreat button :<

[uneven perch]

Been playing since CBT and love the game. I am having a hard time reading most things and hitting the smaller buttons. Is there a more appropriate place to express this? If the game had launched like this I wouldn’t have continued playing it.

[rare jay]

No, your concerns are good here. We've relayed the UI feedback to the EN team. And the AL JP Twitter said they're already putting some more work into the UI so it's safe to assume we'll get that as well

[uneven perch]

Great, I really appreciate the reply

[naive cobalt]

There was a lot of good feedback given here. I gave a lot of it to staff, but I'm waiting on adding things to trello, because other servers currently make a lot of changes and patches to it, so want to wait until it's settled

[soft arch]

I know this menu is collapsable but if i collapse it after a battle then its stuck out again like this. I dont know if this is a feature or bug. Id like it to stay collapsed.

[naive cobalt]

Pretty sure it was reported as a bug

[slate monolith]

They did loose the tiny arrow on the far left side there, but they might fix that issue

[mellow gyro]

text wrapping is a known issue

[velvet adder]

ah ok

[ornate basin]

text wrapping and text breaking both are known

[sterile gazelle]

And this cursed Announcement UI LMAO

No offense but just curious, were there any bug bash /QA tests with EN localization? Lol

[polar willow]

with the amount of reports in the #bug-reports channel you can answer that yourself. most likely

[ornate basin]

en localization generally isnt the majority of bugs

[sterile gazelle]

Oooof more bugs in CN/JP

[ornate basin]

we cannot take bug reports for cn/jp/kr versions

[verbal lily]

That commission start button, "completed"? Its not even start yet.
How about "start", "engage", "depart", I forgot but isn't the old UI not using "completed"?

[rare jay]

It's a known issue. It shouldn't be "Completed"

[verbal lily]

..lol i see..

[languid swift]

Hello, is now a good time to discuss how a portion of players lost 450 merit and about 50 season score within the Exercise due to maintenence stretching way beyond original estimate?

Per usual, I am merely looking for acknowledgement of the issue. I am sure that if anyone wants my opinion on it or an input on how to handle it, they know how to reach me. Just want to make sure this is not lost in the chaos

[naive cobalt]

I contacted staff about this as well, but haven't gotten an answer yet.

[languid swift]

Thank you. This is all I needed.

[tidal adder]

!feedback Notice text appears messily

[solemn thunder]

I feel like the health bars on top of each ship stopped being colorblind friendly. I'd suggest making the "orange" brighter or more saturated to contrast with the now dark grey empty bar.

[minor robin]

JP team said in a tweet they are looking to address the issue of poor colour choices in general

[brave gazelle]

Has anyone had problems with the formation not matching up with the sortie screen when you start missions?

[minor robin]

@tidal adder Known issue

[rare jay]

Yes, it's a known issue. And for future reference, #bug-reports is for those types of issues

@brave gazelle

[brave gazelle]

Gotcha, I didn't see bug reports at first.

Also, it feels like the stability of the game is a bit lacking if that's game feedback

[rare jay]

It can be, yeah. But there are gonna be some changes w/ the UI and what-not which could change some optimization along w/ it so hopefully that'll be the case

[proper pendant]

Although the new ui brought a shit tons of bug, ( and energy consumption) i trully want you guy to know that i really enjoy the new experience... And i hope that peep feel the same xD. Thanks dev and send virtual pizza for me

[velvet adder]

Is it really necessary to censor the "jap" in "japanese"...?

[minor robin]

it is a racial slur, especially in the US where most players come from

[lyric maple]

is there any way the censors can be adjusted to only apply in some contexts? would be nice to get to say japan, class, torpedo etc

[minor robin]

pretty sure it's been suggested

[plain siren]

Outside of combat my phone screen will time out. This wasn't the case prior to the update where I can just leave the phone as it is

[keen moss]

The only negative about the new UI is that the number displayed are way too small. Some of the icons too but not as big of a problem.
The chat portion of the UI is not centered. (See first picture right above me)

[rare jay]

@plain siren Yeah, when the game is idle, it'll pull your phone's screen timeout setting. It's not sure if this is intentional or a bug since some people were asking for it. It's been reported though so we'll learn before long

[plain siren]

Oh also pressing the back button on my phone won't exit the game

[rare jay]

Same deal. It's been reported so we'll know if it's just a bug (which it likely is) or intended

[velvet adder]

can Yostar give us the way to use our own verification code, like via Google Authenticator whenever we login from a new device? Currently, we receive the code via email, but those emails might be blocked by email service providers, might be marked as spam or even rejected outright (I think it happens with hotmail, outlook.com)

[ornate basin]

hotmail/outlook wont reject emails they’ll just send em straight to spam

[rare jay]

Well there have been cases where some emails will get kickback by email servers (there have been a couple of cases in #tech-support). So it can't hurt to get it suggested at the very least.

Add options to force 16:9 on devices with different aspect ratio such as 18:9 etc. On old UI this come with some "black bar" at the bottom and top of the screen. Would be nice if we can choose it freely, because new UI forces the game to fit with the screen, sometimes it'd came out weird

[twilit island]

im sure this has been noted but the side tab to choose fleet formation i find it hard to slide away as its really small/ no "tab" for the tab to click on

[proud snow]

I got no exp for myself when I defeat a fleet. What is going on?

[clear heron]

That's more of a bug report, but known and purely visual

You got the exp that you would have

[frigid mason]

Apologise for my ignorance, but when I checked https://feedback.azur-lane.moe/ , there's little to no recent reports of bugs, errors, etc. that's shown. Do I need to Sign-Up for an account first to see the recent reports?

[ornate basin]

thats only for FEEDBACK

not BUGS

all recent feedback has been sent to devs, please check #known-bugs for recent cards and the bug trello

[errant tusk]

feature request: option to hide your fleets from map so they don't obscure enemy fleet details

eg above screenshot there's an enemy behind the sub but can barely see anything

[frigid mason]

Missing translation when appointing a role in the guild. Player's name is written in Kanji originally. Is this known?

[ornate basin]

its known

[frigid mason]

Gotcha. Thx.

[strong wren]

Might not be the right place to post this, but if and when Azur Lane gets a more sizable Russia faction, could we get the Izmail (and possibly her sisters) as aircraft carriers? They’re the only possible pre-WW2 carrier candidates I can see from the soviets, and it seems even Wargaming has neglected them ;-;

[analog jay]

They dont take feedback for new content/ship

[ornate basin]

please check pins for things we dont take feedback on, sorry for the inconvenience

[velvet adder]

Has it been suggested somewhere to make this little menu either have an option in settings to be closed by default or have an easier way to close it cuz it gets in the way and trying to close it on a small screen can cause you to hit the node behind it or tab the buttons on it

[meager hatch]

really appreciate it if we could have notification from completing research and lectures

[velvet adder]

Now that the new UI is out is the "We cant take UI suggestions cuz the new UI is coming out" pin void? @ornate basin

[ornate basin]

we sent a lot of feedback to the staff, and jp devs are working on some “hard to see” feedbacks
but for now go ahead and suggest things, but a majority has been suggested already
I’ll have to double check as I believe restart gave a statement on it staying due to bugs

[velvet adder]

Also Kawa, has my thing above about the little menu been brought up before?

[ornate basin]

yes but let me check if it was also in the message relayed to staff

[velvet adder]

Aight

Theres so many suggestions here that I cant always backread through them all

[hollow palm]

back read all of the UI suggestions?

[velvet adder]

Nono, just anytime I notice something that could be changed and dont know if its been suggested here

[ornate basin]

its been sent directly that some menu items are hard to tap with the example of “dock menu” given but I can send this one along as well since a lot of people have a problem with it

[velvet adder]

Aight

Thank you Kawa

[stark narwhal]

can we change the coloring of the sub hunting range? it has become a lot harder to see whatever's beneath it unlike before with the new dark red color
I know I can just turn it off but I want it turned on

[stone cargo]

Hello. Yesterday was first day when I played properly with the new UI and here are few things I need to adress. First of all I appreciate the effort and idea put in the development of new UI but with all honesty it’s at least 10 times worse than the old one

1. The UI theme is too cyberpunk-ish which doesn’t match with the WW navy theme nor Anime cuties theme at all and it looks extremely misplaced
2. The sizing of UI elements is so weird and broken. Many things became smaller and some things became bigger which look very disproportional and at some points it’s also very ineffective. For example now in the ship details when you look at the ship abilities it’s just one big icon and some timy space for the ability name and it must scroll because not even one word from the ability name can be displayed fully
3. Font and it’s size is absolutely horrible. Some text is so tiny that it can’t be even read on mobile devices. I really doubt anyone tested the new UI on mobile devices at this point at all. The size of controls is suddenly at least twice smaller. Some info such as equipment upgrade level is so small and subtle I actually couldnt find it at first look
4. Colors in the UI are wannabe transparent so they look kinda pale and some UI elements are randomly merging together which combined with messy background makes kinda confused UI
5. When I open tactical classroom the Köln in background doesn’t have legs. They are cut right under the skirt. This is something I found after playing for 10 seconds how is it possible it made it to final version I don’t really know
6. In the lecture hall the bar showing experience and buttons are randomly moved up leaving random stripe of empty space where you just look at classroom floor and this takes like 1/3 of the screen.

Part2
7) The patch notes notification doesn’t disappear even after clicking “notified” button and the text of the patch notes is extremely broken there is no space above and bellow each sentence so the letters are just merging together.
8) Snacks in dorms lost their names now they are called just just “snack1000, snack2000, etc” and the “energy conservation” dorm decor is now in chinese
9) The quick access to the commissions from main screen next to secretary doesn’t allow you now to finish only some commissions and some later. It just gives you rewards from all finished at once. Plus now instead of time show “go” button even when there is already ongoing mission and no others can be initiated. Same with the classroom and research quick access at same place. Also when sending ships on commission the “start” button says “completed” for some reason

Part3
10) The old UI had empty gray stripes on the top and bottom on tablet and incthe new one this got removed which is nice EXCEPT for the battle itself where it still is and when main fleet ship fires her image goes in those empty stripes so it’s not like nothing could be there it was just left there for god knows what reason. Either remove it everywhere or leave it everywhere
11) When browsing between story chapters the right arrow is higher than the left arrow so if I want to scroll forward and back through chapters I must hold the device unevenly. Also the chapter levels are for some reason all in bottom half of screen leaving top half of screen completely empty which is very poor work with the screen space. In the sortie map the floor doesnt look like a sea anymore but like a storehouse floor
12) The basic shape of most UI elements is square but tilted for 45 degrees which is literally one of worst shapes to fit in screen and yet again creates a lot of unused empty spaces and generaly creates poor screen space utilization especialy when mixes with squares that are not tilted. Also in main screen there is everything in bottom and top half of screen has just random empty space and in corner is small tilted square showing some resources

[stark narwhal]

yea gonna second that #2⃣ point of the guy above
and holy shit that's a lot of text

[stone steeple]

^^^

[stone cargo]

End
Generaly the screen space utilization is extremely poor the colors are bad the font is awful the sizing of UI elements is horrible the theme looks completely misplaced and the UI is generaly messy and painful to watch. And this is stuff that I have seen in 1day and I don’t even talk about technical difficulties that some people have. So yet again I try appeal to you. Take your time when designing something important test it out properly on different mobile devices and then release it. You don’t need to release stuff just for the sake of releasing something. Especially not when it means risking it’s going to be halfassed failure like this. I really love this game and it pains to me to watch things going like this. Wish you luck and hope the devs will know about it and do something with it.

[velvet adder]

Imma upvote all that as well

[stone steeple]

The new interface has text and buttons so small and so far apart it actually causes eye strain. The contrast between text color and background makes some text near unreadable. Sometimes I have to move the phone extra close to my face to read things. I might actually have to quit the game it's that bad on my eyes.

[ornate basin]

so for #5, I see legs, please send bugs in #bug-reports not in game feedback, please send a screenshot of that there

[stark narwhal]

1 more thing, the arrow icon to move between chapters is a lot smaller now and it's hard to know where to hit the hit box of the icon
overall, everything became more compact, which is great on something like a 12" tablet, but not so good on a 5" phone

[ornate basin]

#7 is a known bug and the text spacing is known as well
#8 is known as well, but once again can you please send a screenshot of the untranslated text in #bug-reports

[stone cargo]

Horizontal

[ornate basin]

thats because your ratio aspect is taller than usual

[velvet adder]

So its a screen auto sizing issue then still feedback to get things to actually properly work on other aspect ratios

[stone cargo]

It’s classic iPad devs had to count with classic iPad when developing new UI right

[ornate basin]

its been suggested as feedback to fix spacing issues on tablets/odd ratio devices

[stone cargo]

I think the most common version of iPad is not that rare odd device

[stark narwhal]

can we like, upscale the entire UI to be a bit bigger

[stone steeple]

I'm really upset with the new interface being so small and so bad on my eyes. I want to like it but its not a matter of getting used to it, things are just too small and too clashing colored and too far apart to be readable.

It does feel like the UI was optimized for tablets and so for phones everything is too tiny.

[ornate basin]

almost everything being suggested here was already sent to staff

[stark narwhal]

okay

[ornate basin]

tablets get a poorly optimized spacing issue

[stone cargo]

Ok glad for that and appeacite it

[ornate basin]

and its been suggested and reported to fix it
