There are many times in which the character, their lines, and more are created but a CV is not made in time for their release. So they are initially released w/o a CV and it'll be updated into the game at a later date (usually a lot quicker these days)
pulsar rampart
oh ok well I look forward to U-522 finding her voice

May I suggest in the future that we get upcoming event announcement during middle of a running event
So we would be better prepared for the next, like how many cubes worth spending now, and how many or when need to start saving
rare jay
Unfortunately that'd be pretty hard for staff to do for internal reasons(even more so if the event happens to be a brand new one across ALL servers like JP/CN). Just as w/ the idea for a roadmap for the game.
gritty belfry
Ahh I think I understand, different departments running things at their own pace and style. It's hard to make them announce it and agree to it. Thanks for explaining

Can something be done about assholes putting one weak unit in a strong team so the numbers lie. I'm just trying to get my daily 3 wins I dont otherwise give a crap about pvp nor enjoy it
it would be a huge help if it was just play 3 exercises not win 3
minor robin
PvP is easy enough as it is when you can infinitely reset against a strong opponent and adjust your fleet according to the enemy which you can see every member of
It's a matter of actually having the levels at that point
It's not really them being assholes tbh
If you are lacking levels, simply ignore pvp then, or fight easier opponents
you have 5 refreshes for a reason
pulsar rampart
yeah those 5 refreshes get eaten fast and yes there are in my bracket.
I'm not trying to progress I'm just trying to get the 3 stupid wins and be dine with that part
solemn citrus
Run a better offense, then? Or take the loss for a free update
pulsar rampart
I do sometimes all 10 with no luck
I am running my strongest team with the limited access to cubes crappy luck with building commons more then anything and even more limited access to gold purins
pretty mch the pvp is set to punish new players

So... i have this annoying exclamation point hovering over my Lab and an 'N' on the top left tab indicating my oil/gold is full.
Is there a way to get rid of those without having to gather the oil (oil's maxed out atm) or turning in materials for PR ships?
Or if it would disappear after I inspect it the first time.
Would very much love that
timber echo
Guess I need to make this a little more formal:
Regarding the issue with lag because of planes in later chapter, I think it's better to just group multiple planes into 1 sprite (like pairs or threes) and make the HP bars grouped together ([ red HP bar ] x3 if there are still 3 planes in the squad, like miniature elite HP bars)
Rationale:
- Groups of planes fly in formations.
- While flying in formation looks nice, swarms of them overlaps with each other. This blocks the screen, preventing players from seeing some important information.
- The current AA dmg on the planes looks more reasonable imo if the HP bars are stacked. This also lessens the information shown on the screen.
tardy arch
@violet shale afaik you need to collect the oil to make the "N" go away and same for pr ships.
naive cobalt
@violet shale Ye, there's no way to remove it, tho we have a suggestion to be able to do so afaik.

Suggestion: Allow the triple 6" Royal navy gun variants (of which the 2* T1 variant is the base gun on Town and Crown Colony classes) to drop in any way. My testing with the T1 revealed it to be a solid gun for use on BBs as secondary and it would at least enlarge the purple/blue drop pool...
Plus it can be quite well used on CLs too
winter escarp
Is this a known bug? I keep forgetting be offline for reset and keep getting stuck with these outdated commissions
solemn citrus
it's a desync issue, I believe. Rather annoying, but you can logout from the help menu
timber echo
Suggestion fo Plane Optimization pt. 2. Electric Plane Boogaloo
At least in non-Exercise maps:
- Faster planes + Faster AA ticks and less initial delay for AA.
- Less screentime = Scarier planes. Scarier plane + faster AA shooting down said planes = more satisfying AA.
- In addtion to moving faster, Combat Air Patrols travel half way the screen then go back to the CV/Ls in another section of the screen.
- These things feel like waste thrown into the void when they pass by and miss the enemy planes and ultimately goes the other side of the screen going M.I.A. Going back would be more realistic and would potentially hit more enemy planes if allowed to.
velvet adder
timber echo
I was suggesting in addition to my previous one.
velvet adder
This is bad enough as it is, without the need to chase down even faster planes (something which already pulls you your units out of line, which isn't ideal)
timber echo
Well, I wish they can manipulate how and where the planes spawn on the right side of the screen.
Make them more tighter or just be grouped together in fewer sprites.
Make them spawn near the current vertical coordinates of the escort fleet.
velvet adder
That's a lot more complex than it looks, as the AA mechanics are built with each plane being a separate entity in mind
timber echo
They can just make the planes just "look more" but in actually just making a tougher plane with a sprite of bunched up planes.
velvet adder
Hard to say if them being a singular entity with a shared sprite would be better - it'd depend on how the damage calculations would go down then, whether it's a summatory of the remaining HPs or something else entirely
As it stands, AA bursts are old WoWS-style in the way they randomly allocate the damage across all planes in the circle, which has the benefit of popping a lot of planes with good luck or spreading it all out and killing nothing if you don't
timber echo
The problem is that they had to stick to the idea of swarms of V-formation planes covering large area when in actuality all it does is cover the screen and make it look like a game about "A swarm of planes that need to be shot down by a bunch of tiny girls"
Why are planes larger than shipgirls anyway?
tepid quest
I had the same problem as Momo, I think it happened twice to me
The cube commissions don't reset at the server reset time
It's supposed to refresh / reset right ?
timber echo
It refreshes if u re-log into the game. Most of the time, at least. About 99% of the time
tepid quest
I do log out 2-3 mins before server reset though
winged compass
its a bit clunky, best way to make sure you avoid it is logging out ~10 mins before reset
tepid quest
And I have tried restarting the game, it still doesnt refresh / reset
timber echo
Try the suggestion earlier, log-out from the settings menu and then restart the game.
solemn citrus
there are (rare) times when it doesn't update and they roll over into the next day. All you can do then is run them
naive cobalt
Lately I've noticed a bunch of weird desync issues with things resetting hour later seemingly random, so I suggest waiting for that. If still won't help, well, doing them resets them, yes
timber echo
It's been happening to me at random ever since the end of OBT
naive cobalt
It was always doing that
Part of server time just not being used to summer/standard time
And before someone asks - yes, we suggested to not do that since game doesn't work with it that good

Ive been seeing this plane suggestion everyday for like a week now, I dont really see any problem with current plane mechanics in pve but pvp is the problem. If something needs fixing, its the CV ships themselves which are pretty dated
tepid quest
Thank you! It works 
@timber echo
timber echo
I smell WoW-like CV rework coming soon. Just kidding.
shy pond
God no
timber echo
Heck yeah.... or not. I doubt they'd be able to make major changes like that to the base game. IIRC, the response they made to the outcry for buffing CVs was give retrofits to some CVs. This in itself isn't an overhaul so much so as making IJN Hiryuu more broken in PvP.
... or so how it looked to me being a small, lonely dolphin in the sea of whales and prawns.
P.S.: I honestly hate IJN ships in Azur Lane. Not because they are IJN but because of my collective experience alongside and against them in PvP.
velvet adder
Imagine losing to a ship that is only a threat on defence if you actively go for her
What outcry, anyway?
timber echo
Imagine going for a mirror match. But since your Hiryuu is lower level than the defense team's Hiryuu, you already know that you are going to lose. So just accept the fact, reroll and go against inferior beings.
Idk, it felt like people wants to CVs to be more relevant last year.
velvet adder
Fight 120 unequipped teams for the best value for your time, job done - that's all PvP is for, only brainlets care about ePeen in a fundamentally broken mode 
Well, whatever it is they complained about, nothing came of it as far as I can tell - the bunnies were due for a Kai anyway and there are still plenty of carriers that could do with one
timber echo
ehem Enty retrofit ehem. They might as well release the ultimate dunk to the head of all players.
velvet adder
Warshite Kai demolishes her before she gets to launch (and if she doesn't, the Foxes finish the job)
Next
Units who receive Kai are on a general basis underpowered, underperforming and in most discernible ways, not meta - no risk of USS Basic Bitch getting a Kai anytime soon

This is a place where people suggest and give feesback btw dont turn it into an opinion chat

velvet adder
Carriers are in a good place as far as I'm concerned, and AA is a fucking mess I don't really know how to fix properly without touching a lot of stuff
ornate basin
feedback on feedback is allowed tbh
velvet adder
The performance drops are a very real concern though, midtier cellphones just choke on all the W13 bullshit flying around
timber echo
Please accept that planes aren't supposed to be larger than shipgirls and the game isn't about tiny shipgirls trying to clear the screen of invading "titan" plane swarm. TLDR: Please no "Attack on Titanic Planes"
ornate basin
im not understanding this feedback 
you're suggesting cvs send... less planes at a time?
timber echo
No, just smaller enemy planes, either in numbers or size. In story mode.
static needle
The problem of this game lies in the coding anyways. People in certain channels look through the code which has alot of redundancy which makes ram consumption bigger. Ask the devs to optimize the coding 
ornate basin
theyre at their size right now to be discernable, smaller than their chibis
but I will take it anyways
viscid halo
For the commissions not resetting issue, a sure fire way to prevent that is to log out before reset, at least 2 or 3mins before, aka kill the app completely, purge from ram etc etc, and stay logged out for at least 10mins. Then your commissions will always reset.
ornate basin
@timber echo there is currently a suggestion to optimize planes, it has some of your concerns, would that be fine?
group multiple planes into one sprite
viscid halo
Sometimes I forget to log out, and server reset, but I just immediately log out and stay logged out for 10mins, and that causes my commissions to reset too. Not sure if it will work for everyone tho, no harm trying.
ornate basin

Are you doing anything to help stop the headnod spam ruining chat?
Possibly increasing the cooldown inbetween emotes?
naive cobalt
increase in cooldown doesn't matter when it's different people doing it
proud stream
Often it is like 5 people spamming together.
When there are 3-4 headnods in between each comment, it makes it bothersome to try to follow the conversation, as the thread is just swarmed.
rare jay
Well there's technically nothing wrong w/ people using emotes. And the devs have already put in a cooldown timer that they feel prevents spamming. It's still harmless and you do have the option to either try ignoring them or, if it's truly too much, going to a different room.
tepid quest
You can always block the headnodders 
I dunno if there is a limit to how many players you can block though
I did logged out 2-3 mins before server reset, killed the app completely / purge it from ram, but I didnt try to wait for 10 mins though

To honor those who brought liberty despite the cost - Sakura Empire - Pursuit of Dreams
To honor those that strived for future prosperity - Iron Blood - Valiance against Adversities
To honor those who challenged much stronger foes - Vichy Dominion and Iris Libre - Integrity and Faith

Did you read the pinned message? It was either a.) a bug and should be reported as such or b.) changed on JP and nothing we can do about that. I personally can't confirm if they changed it on JP so I'd be lead to believe it's a bug for now.

Yea I read it, guess I'll report it.
naive cobalt
1 moment - if you reporting it for being not the same as on JP - please compare it to how it's actually in-game and not to twitter posts
If there's difference in how the same expression looks on EN and JP - it should be reported. If it's just "I can't find the expression that JP listed on twitter" - we need more substantial proof

Can I suggest the opposite of the nsfw screen and vote to make the mods ignore it in favor of other better suggestions? We have 59 vocal individuals against like thousand of players who are OK with it. Why do mods have to cater to individuals who likely won't even spend on the game and instead work on other features which would help players more?
I don't want the majority of players who are happy to be shafted because of those individuals who can't understand the culture of the game itself. There's always CN for those who want censorship. Since they are fine with raising it. It should be fine for me to have a counter suggestion.
Working on sorting by affection is a better suggestion and time for the mods than trying to cater to those who needs not to be a prude.
Three already controversy with censoring as we don't know whether it is done with the artist side or on the game side. So I really feel that at this point, they should really switch games if they can't stand it. Especially since they won't pay for it anyway. I'm not happy paying for developers time in making something that's fundamentally against the artist that put their time and effort in making art for the game and then get shafted for being "NSFW" or being abused because they don't like the art.
If you dislike it, don't play the game.
ornate basin
cn for censorship is not an argument
also, the suggestion is toggleable
its been suggested to have that specific suggestion have a toggle so only users who want it can use it
not everyone wants to have near naughty screens on their cell phone in public
rare jay
You can state your counter opinion, yes. But the suggestion for the option to select loading screens and what-not will stay. They're still valid suggestions and just b/c some players disagree w/ it or believe it shouldn't have priority doesn't make it any less of a suggestion. What the devs decide to work on and implement is up to them.
elfin lintel
sad
steep basin
I'm not getting into an argument or debate into this as we'll get nowhere. I'm just asking for a suggestion on it. We view things differently after all. We can't compromise on this. If you feel it's not appropriate it.
By your tone of seeing naughty screens just says it all.
And that's fair. That's all I need to know.
Thanks.
It's just I feel that because of 59 individuals who dislike it, the other people who doesn't mind or like it are affected because mods listen to it..
We aren't heard because we can't have a suggestion on it and that's fair?
Sure I guess
As long as I made my view on it heard, that's all I can hope for. If you want to argue all over it, feel free. I'm not going to pursue this further.
rare jay
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you're arguing against here? 
the suggestion hurts you in no way shape or form. But I've said my piece
ornate basin
so your suggestion is to have a toggle option to... only have suggestive screens displayed?
im not quite sure what you're suggesting, you said you wanted to suggest a counter for it though, and that would be it
steep basin
Having 59 individuals vote for the sfw suggestion, and making it the "most" because they care about it isn't fair to the players who would like other suggestions to be done, if possible, by the developers.
But like you said. Mods have the choice to actually implement stuff
But I'll be annoyed at having people work on that and deliver the options when they can work on other better QoL things.
ornate basin
we dont take down suggestions upon request
while you can be against it, its already been suggested and multiple times
steep basin
I'm not asking for it to be taken down. Free speech and all. But since no one is speaking about how majority don't care. I might as well voice it.
ornate basin
this is not the place to do so
steep basin
If it has a dislike button I'll be spamming it and getting others to do so already. Just to make a point. But I do want to empathize with those who dislike it. Some are really bad.
And if you mean #al-general we'll have a field day.
In the end. I'm dropping it. Thanks for listening anyway.
celest abyss
Look I like the suggesion because I wanna play it in public without hot springs or loli/kiddie cameltoe 
And it is toggleable so you don't have to turn it off, you can keep the lewd loading screens if you want
So this reads as "wah some people want a toggle and I Do Not want the devs to even see this!"
Like I said, toggle - you keep your lewd screens, but I do actually want to play outside my house without people seeing em, thanks
Because not everyone can actually stop people from looking over their shoulder at places like college or work
Not just the 59 upvoters either. I see people complain about the lewd screens in other places
And yeah, this is suggested as a TOGGLE. You are NOT forced to use a TOGGLE. Plain and simple.
velvet adder
If devs see that having option to toggle off NSWF loading screens is highly supported, they might conclude that people don't like NSFW, thus make less of them or not at all.
rare jay
The devs also know that the "lewd" stuff is a major selling point of the game for a lot of it's playerbase. They won't be swayed just from such a thing. But either way, there really isn't any point to discussing this anymore. The suggestion will stay. If/when(or how fast) it'll be implemented will be up to the developers
ornate basin
yes lets drop this, once a card has been made its usually not up for discussion anymore
velvet adder
Yeah, I personally have nothing against toggleable loading screens I just don't see the fuss about people seeing your stuff 
(as if anyone would stare your phone screen so closely)
celest abyss
The fuss is work/college being strict
Or people not wanting to get yelled at by superiors
For me, it's like... I've had people look over my shoulder to see what I'm doing. Would be great to not have lewd screens when someone doee that to me

shy pond
With the toglleable suggestions here is what I think. Have a menu for selecting the loading screens to toggle your in-device blacklist (with previews). This has a bonus of actually showing off all the current loading art without relying on RNG. I know this has been suggested in a form with the toggle, but here is a more refined version IMO.
celest abyss
I'd say by default all screens should be on, & that the toggle should ideally be accessible via a setting in the menu that's not in your face but is there

speaking of sub boxes, it'd be nice if they werent literally eating up a space for people who already got decent asw gear, could make it rarer but make it drop bp of purple/gold on chance or whole grey/blue as it does now 
rare jay
Well we do have a suggestion for it not to take away a spot in the shop. I can create the suggestion for it to be able to have a chance to drop BPs (perhaps a higher tier like normal tech boxes) but the way they released the sub daily, it's pretty obvious they want it to a grind
winged compass
yeah but a box appearing every few days and only having a chance at a blueprint, not even the actual item doesnt exactly kill the grind 
like we gotta grind for retrofit blueprints, they do appear in the medal shop and we still grind for them anyways, because they dont appear enough to cover for all the needs
inland oyster
I get why it has to be a grind, as otherwise the (currently) fairly small sub content would be quickly consumed, but at the same time, the small amount means that reaching the initial thresholds is harder, my single sonar cries out for a friend

Another feature suggestion: Allow us to filter ships in the dockyard by those that have/don't have max stat enhancements. This will streamline feeding shipgirls to other shipgirls. It would also be nice if this filter turned on by default when you click the "ehnance" button from the popup that prevents you from starting battles because your dockyard is full.
I looked at trello and saw many cards for sorting/filtering, but didn't see this on any of them. Please add it to one of those cards. Thank you.

I believe the reason why we have duplicate projects is because of season 2 projects implemented as season 1, because we don't have season 2 yet. When there's a duplicate project, it's supposed to be for season 2, but it's coded for season 1. So, wouldn't that make duplicate projects a bug?
naive cobalt
no, since pr1 and pr2 projects are separated and you can't do both at the same time anyway?
to the best of my knowledge you choose which ones you want to appear, meaning there's no need or reason to replace anything
celest abyss
Nah, PR1 & PR2 are random when PR2 are implemented
Like, how many of each in your 5 available researches you get
And yes, two+ of the same PR1 or same PR2 project can appear
deep sorrel
Wait, so JP can have duplicate PR2 projects?
celest abyss
Yeah. IIRC I've actually seen that on JP
ornate basin
theyre random, but you can choose if you want pr1 or 2 research
deep sorrel
Should the duplicate project removal suggestion's priority level be set to 'Very High' once PR2 comes to EN?
celest abyss
@ornate basin there's also a setting for both to mix in, but yeah there's the season restriction
ornate basin
no it is high enough
there is no very high, only critical
and thats for things like the game crashing for everyone at a certain point in the game and not allowing them to progress (an example)

can Yostar think seriously rolling out the fleet slot 5 and 6

asking us to roll out something faster will not make it come faster
fallen temple
as i won't do subs mission because i simply can't stand the micro management required
Regardless the 2 weekly subs mini game. Working on subs is simply too much time consumming
It is not pushing a subs required Event down the throat of the players that would make subs investing appealing
upper mortar
this is your fault for being lazy and not wanting to do the missions, I dont see how its yostars problem 
fallen temple
Sure i'm LV 105 man
upper mortar
Nice flex but that has nothing to do with it, you want to auto farm cheese stuff when things require effort, and they won't give you the cheese. You are one pudgy mouse
fallen temple
sure but that won't change my belief that subs gamedesign is just flawed
upper mortar
A completely optional part of the game that requires you to use your hands for 5 seconds on a game instead of auto farming to level 105. Don't do it, don't try and get it changed for you to just auto farm it anyways
i'm LV 106 btw man
fallen temple
The 2 weekly isn't a problem at all. It the alert mission that are not worth it
upper mortar
It's pretty boring waiting for sos
fallen temple
And i consider myself on the better side of the subs with LV 113, 112 and 105 subs
spring pecan
They arent pushing a "sub-required event"
The event has enemy subs, that means ASW gear is needed. U can get those from medal shop and it works just fine in w10-5
celest abyss
Yeah tbh I think SoS alerts could be a wee bit more frequent. When I am waiting on em the RNG can leave me going on no alerts for like 6h, but if that's just my particularly bad RNG then my bad
fallen temple
I totally disregard the SOS alerts and this won't change for the time being. Meanwhile the 2 weekly subs challenge are be fun to play when there is no one to disturb you
winged compass
there isnt really much 'micromanagement' required, even with 4 fleet slots you can make fleets to do your normal map farming if any (fleet 1 and 2), fleet 3 would be for killing the mob on say, w9 and w10 sos, and fleet 4 a 1:1 fleet consisting of a bb and a dd (who's equipped with asw gear), 4th fleet can handle soloing whole of w3 to w8 sos, and on w9 and w10 they'd take on the boss, they can handle the dailies too, and no real need to 'micromanage'
and if you find doing sos individually too much of a chore, you can pile them up to 8 and then do them on a go, which is easy enough

@naive cobalt i'm curious how is that balanced. consistency? they even make placeholder guns accurate to the real life equipped gun of a ship as her default gun but then not follow historical armament of the KGV.
minor robin
all other HMS BBs have CL secondaries
there is some form of generalisation amongst which BB/C can use CL secondaries
all HMS BBs (sgm+2), KMS BBs (sgm+1 )and BCs (smg+0), IJN BB and BCs (sgm+2), French BB (sgm+2)
not that we can't make exceptions, but why do it when you're actively nerfing them?
alpine crown
and ignore the historical basis which they've followed? okay.
i'm just curious how willing are they to break historical basis. Iowa with CL guns incoming

it should be a reminder, that all BB/Cs that can use CL secondaries can also use DD secondaries anyways...

honest rune
For making easy sub leveling, they could give a "Flagship" bonus to the leader same modifier and instead of giving a 2x if they do MVP in general what about one for subs only?
shy pond
My idea with the KGV-class CL gun issue: The guns are still above 5in and were never used on DDs in the RN, making them effectively CL guns as they were the main atmament of the Dido-class. Also, given the long line of use of 6in secondaries it would not make sense for that nerf to happen as the RN had a common secondary gun in them even through the inter-war period. And Iowas should stay with DD guns, albeit more powerful, probably around 220-250% efficiency (if we ever see them that is)

limpid palm
Any possible way we can get Bismarck to get her aux gun up to +2, she already has the 30% damage penalty =/. was this an oversight or purposeful design to make her do 50% less total aux damage over other bbs (range boost doesnt really make up for the drastic drop in damage output).
void schooner
You can avoid the damage drop by not using a CL gun, according to the skill description.
minor robin
it's intended
rare jay
Purposeful design. While the dmg penalty does hurt, she can easily make up for it by being able to shot half away across the screen compared to other BBs/BCs. She can shot first before them and as well as be able to shot enemies that plenty of others wouldn't even be able to.
minor robin
in case you haven't realised, none of the German ships have +2 secondaries anyways...
bisko tirp +1, scharn gnei +0, reason being the "torps"
(range boost doesnt really make up for the drastic drop in damage output)
it does when the furthest range of a secondary is 60, skill extends to 90
it allows you to take pot shots at ships that are where the movement limit is for the frontline

ripe idol
Hello,first I have a question, I can't add suggestion myself to the Trello right? And there my suggestion is add emotion/expression CGs to older characters's default CG art and skins, like what the Azur Lane Crosswave has. I know the newer ship girls and skins have, but I hope the older skins and ship girls can be treated equally too. For example, the Laffey(retrofited) will have this kind of expression when I click her (when selected as secretary ship, at dock, story) -_- better than just an emotionless CG. Most of the anime games have this kind of feature nowsadays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML26dN4biAY&t=156s

deep sorrel
Can we add de-enhancing equipment? Basically, undoing gear upgrades for 50% cost refund, without scrapping gear outright. This would be most relevant on focusing MVP on the ship you want to quickly level up or reach 100 affinity, but another reason of wanting this is if a heavy cruiser has Double Gun or Focused Assault and her main gun's reload time is less than 5 seconds. This is because the two skills have a 5 second cooldown, so if they proc with a gun that reloads in less than 5 seconds, the skills will not have a chance to activate on the next volley.
velvet adder
@deep sorrel So, ah, the bit about the 5s? Not quite a thing, afraid to say - upon double checking the theory, unless you go out of your way to use Autoloaders on your CAs (don't unless you're Roon and even then only 1) you won't make it past the 5s mark when you take into account Absolute Cooldowns and Volley Times
By the way, you can just unequip gear to make sure others get MVP
eternal bear
If I may highlight multiple problems at one time, this pic should do it. I have been over some things before, but I find it kind of crazy. First is I have an insane amount of torpedo parts at all levels. What is nice is that those should go down as I finally get good sub gear, but I still should have about 1000ish. I have 3 sets of homing x4 and x5, 3 of the 610 x 4s, and more than 3 of the quint 533s all gold. I have a lack of other parts now as I have gear to fuel from research and other things that require these parts. The next thing is a lack of red books of every kind, a perfectly stable amount of gold books, and enough defense books that I could level the remainder of my ships defensive skills with them or will use them for red skills at a less efficient rate because this game has so many red skills. Many ships have at least one red skill to level if not two. Some ships have yellow skills, and I rarely have to deal with blue skills. I don’t know if there is an intended/needed fix to assist in keeping all skill leveling consistent, or if this is just game design, but clarification would help. I have a lot of ships I wanna use across different content, but I only have so many red books to go around. So TL;DR I (and I assume others) have insane amounts of torp parts and only will ever need so many torpedos for ships and subs, and I see an instability in skill books and am unsure if it is just game design. Clarification and any already made posts I could vote on would help.
tardy arch
and it's a simple supply and demand issue that i don't think the devs accounted for or they just outright ignored it. hopefully they do address this by either decreasing the other books and torp parts drop rate or increasing the red books and other gear parts drop rate.
void schooner
A lot of ships have two gun slots, all have two aux slots, and your carriers have 2 or 3 plane slots, while most ships have one or no torp slot, which means you'll burn through more of those plates than torp plates in general. So in my eyes, it's not really a drop rate issue, it's that you're using everything else faster than torp stuff.
Same could be said for the red skill books.
tardy arch
it's that as well but it's called supply and demand. your ships need those parts but the game doesn't supply enough to meet the demand.
same with books.
opal pawn
i think we already have a card for that or maybe we don't?
best way to deal with this issue is to give a trade function from blue / yellow skill book to red at maybe 3 or 5 to 1 ratio
same as plates with different ratio ofc
tardy arch
ya i looked earlier and didn't find a card for it.
and ya that could work too. i think increasing the drop rates would be a lot easier though.

Dorm needs an update overall. For example like rotating stuff in all 4 directions or making this kizuna couch not take up a square but the actual used space.
rare jay
The rotating has been suggested but as for the used space, do you mean just apply a hitbox to the furniture itself so it's more accurate instead of using the grid format?
tardy arch
i'm pretty sure that's what he means. i'd have to disagree though as individual hitboxes could get a bit messy. the grid format is simple but it works. though maybe add a half grid system where objects can be on the same square on the grid but not occupy the same space. they would just look closer together.
with the image above as an example the bathtubs would just look closer to the medal, not be "on" the medal. it would give more space to work with for furniture.
naive cobalt
I don't think it's quite what they mean, considering they gave kizuna couch as an example
not to "remove the grid", but to be more accurate while still following it
iirc how that couch looks, it's something like that
so instead of taking all 4 squares on the grid - it should only take 3, since 4th isn't a couch, but just empty space
cos some table could easily fit there, but it can't, since it's couch's hitbox
tardy arch
oooh. ya that'd be cool.

minor robin
they're all still in other builds to begin with
naive cobalt
These ships are available in all 3 pools
Now they don't
minor robin
it's removing them from 1 or 2 pools to avoid future oversaturation of a pool
silver pewter
Hey, I'm not sure if this qualifies as feedback per se but. Since we're going to get the construction rate changes and Yuubari's not in EN yet (even though you know, she was available in JP day 1 and was added to CN with Graf Spee event), I do have worries about the situation. Since the ships are being removed from their respective builds, I'm assuming they'll also be removed from their respective limited construction (unless that's not the case in which someone correct me). That means that unlike other servers that had multiple ways of obtaining her, be it special, heavy or limited while fishing for other ships, we'll only have the option of rolling for Yuubari in light build. That seems kind of unfair towards those of us who were waiting for her patiently. It'd be good if once she's added, she gets some kind of grace period where she's still available in all the constructions. Or at the very least, when she's added to EN and she's light only, it'd be nice for her to arrive with a rate up.
sour monolith
Kinda that yeah
Since yuubari was released in JP/CN to all pools, it means you could snag her when rolling anywhere
naive cobalt
I'm not sure what can be done about it, but I'll pass this concern
silver pewter
would be much obliged Restart-dono 👌
tardy arch
ok so we can still build them but they'll be pool specific now. kinda wish they made that a bit clearer cause that scared me a bit.
sour monolith
Should'ved marked as light only since I don't think everyone knows those ships are available on all pools
winged compass
they forgot to copy pasta that from the wiki 
tardy arch
iirc the wiki isn't handled by the devs.
silver pewter
@naive cobalt if it helps drive the point across, I'd also like to mention Yuubari is the only ship, besides San Diego, out of the whole lot being altered that is a construction exclusive (and even Sandy has multiple alternatives like the tutorial mission, the 1 year anni pick and the medal exchange). Also CN had her as a reward ship for one of the events (Bilibili I think). So if the circumstances will be as what I am concerned with, EN would be getting the worst deal possible out of all servers in regards to Yuubari. It'd be only fair to at the very least level the playing field for us if nothing else
naive cobalt
Also CN had her as a reward ship for one of the events (Bilibili I think) she actually was, good point
I'll mention that as well
silver pewter
faint hinge
Yeah, she was an unlock during bilibili
harsh escarp
I know Yuubari is STILL not released, but she's supposed to be in LIGHT. She's a light cruiser. Why the F do you put her in Special?

what
- She was in ALL builds, then she was REMOVED from heavy and special so she was LEFT in LIGHT ONLY
- She's not even released on en, so whatever complaint you have is pointless
harsh escarp
I just find it weird that in the twitter post, she was not even written in the Light category, which was weird.
naive cobalt
cos she wasn't removed from there
she was available in all builds
then she was removed from heavy and special

that's the point
your complaint is literally what the point of the change is - she's a light cruiser, so she should be available in light only

An idea? Maybe if the fleet gets into an ambush but you need to undo because of a miss tap, maybe you will encounter that fleet again during your next move, so it won’t be abused to dodge ambushes

Well, it's not to "undo" the move, but the ability to stop if you misclick. It's more fair and can't be abused like what you just mentioned.

not sure if this falls under "new content" category but.... an art contest to design and draw a new skin for one of a small selection of characters would be fun! of course there would need to be extra rules and criteria (looking like the same character, having the correct gear even if it's minimal, fitting the personality etc) but it would be cool to have a couple "community" skins in the game
the selection could probably be the starters+a couple of the most popular other characters / or whichever characters' artists don't mind having a new skin for in case some original designers wouldn't like that
minor robin
I mean, 99% of skins are drawn by the original artist
The exceptions are if the original artist has say retired like Helena's or quit

there was also the curry collab skins
but i just think it'd be fun to have a chance for fans to design a skin themselves, even if it's a very strict one time thing
dapper hatch
I'm new here, anyway here are my suggestions:
- Saving gear sets that can apply to any ship of its type. It's just the type of gear with the rarity and not the gear itself. Upgraded gears will be equipped first. No copies left will be left blank.
- Put ship names on their currently equipped gears. It can be difficult for a new player to know the ships based on a little picture on the corner alone. Equipping it just to see the confirmation screen with the ship name is too clunky.
- Have both change and enhance gear active in one window. Having to equip one then pressing upgrade just to get to the upgrade screen is inefficient for me.
- Are there any benefits in joining a guild other than just being a member of one? Guilds can be a way to help a new player progress through the game faster. Another way of earning exp, boxes, etc., through the accumulated certain points of participating and active guild members. Anything that can give reason in joining a guild.
- One free name change available when the account is a month old. I know there are some who doesn't have a time to think of a great name. This can be their last chance.
- Put oathed ships before SR ships when sorted by rarity so they can look nice.

Also.. uhm, when is U-73 gonna get her voice?
naive cobalt
Ships are still available in other build pools
and we don't know about voices for new characters, it may take a while

They were removed b/c the ships were in all pools simultaneously, so they were moved to only one and I'd assume they based the original pruning on player feedback. As for the voice, we have no ETA

That's what I was afraid of. It's just.. weird how fast most of the ships get voices and U-73 feels out of place. I'm reminded how the kid ships were all silent except for Lil Bel and that was a bit odd for a while.

It's been suggested for the update. Unfortunately that's about all we can do. We can't dictate if/when it'll happen
Although for your specific issue, if we get the same Anni deals like JP, you get an exchange ticket that can be used for Atago. But nothing official has been said about our celebration event.

i do have to ask if they are ever going to fix the contrast on HP bars i know when we got the UI updated people had complained about them before and they are Fixed on JP so that Missing health is alot darker yet ours are still a light grey thats much harder to notice. it's just odd that it's visibly different on JP than EN and this was a problem for JP that they fixed during one of their maintenances but the fix never came for us and i feel as though it's a little over due

So. Here is my feedback/question: Why was the "Maritime attack" daily changed to "Advance mission" and "Beheading operation" to "Fierce assault"? It seems these two in particular took a turn for the worse This did not happen in the latest patch, but still. Can I at least get a short explanation for why this change was made? As now the change seems absolutely unnecessary and especially with the first one quite.... Detrimental to the quality of the EN text, let us say.
naive cobalt
Previous translation was incorrect
More over - it was fixed some time ago, but accidentally reverted back to "Beheading operation" after UI update
So rn it was merely fixed to how it was supposed to be all along
shy pond
OK then, can I suggest the TL team look for alternatives to the "Advance mission" name? It seems like a TL straight out of Google translate, hich should not be the case given their love of localizing the content.
minor robin
Pretty sure those were the direct translations actually so...
rare jay
Beheading was for sure

I'm not one to usually complain about the translations but I have to say that the "elder" thing felt really... weird 
I don't know if it was meant as a translation from the Japanese "senpai" or something but ... might as well not have put anything rather than this in my opinion.
Even though it's not a huge deal, I guess.
minor robin
Think the issue here is that there really is a lack of an equivalent English word
We don't really call our seniors as well, seniors much even in English
Though frankly, elder is an unusual choice, i'm unsure of the rationale behind it

Not so much feedback as much as a thanks to the Devs. The current event map is super cool and I really like the change up from the usual. Would be really cool to have all maps for the game changed to something like that. Ads a bit more character and believability to the visuals.
So thank you for doing something new and different. It's welcome from my end.
formal oyster
It's true that it is refreshing and was a good surprise 
remote parrot
Yee. I am grateful for the mix up. If they could add in maps like that for the main game that would be amazing. They could even just leave the old ones in and have a toggle feature. Just something to mix things up and make it feel less mundane.
velvet adder
I also like it but it seems to be low resolution. The map background I mean
formal oyster
As a gameplay suggestion, I noticed that if you have Phoenix and Vestal in the same fleet and that Phoenix is the first ship to fall at 20% HP ( which would happen almost every time on a Phoenix solo vanguard ), Vestal's heal will proc before Phoenix's, which is not ideal since Vestal can only heal once per battle and therefore it kinda wastes it.
So could we change the proc order here so that Phoenix's self-heal would have the priority over other heals that have the same activation requirements ( so for Vestal and possible future healers )
And do the same for other self-healers actually, like Neptune, Monarch... because I assume the same thing applies with them.

😔
ruby echo
I guess this channel would be where you suggest feedback for actual game changes?
If so one thing I'd like to see implemented is a rotating rate-up for different permanent ships in the build pools of each rarity.
For instance for 1 week, light pool has rate ups for Monty as the SR, St. Louis and Lena as the Elite, and Urakaze, Hatsushimo, and Fletcher as rares. Heavy build has Eugen as SR, Abercrombie and Dorset as elite...etc. Have it last 7-10 days, then rotate it to other ships in the pull (any ship in the pool still being buildable but just a rate up increase like how Centaur currently is).
This way if people have ships they still haven't obtained in the permanent pools, they can check on the rate up rotations and choose to roll if there's no event going on or if maybe they have all of the ships from the event.
formal oyster
The idea is nice, but I feel like it's kinda asking for too much. The gacha is already really generous considering the limited pool of ships in it at this moment ( if you compare with other games that is )
Without mentioning that there's already the medal exchange for SR ships that you can't get, even though the rotation is random and you can sometimes wait months to get your ship, at least it's not just a rate-up, you actually get your ship, by spending next to nothing.
shell bramble
I like the idea of it, but I feel that 1) That's kind of the point of the build pool event they had around the time of Scherzo, and 2) I'm super not a fan of it in the midst of EN still playing catchup, as almost certainly it would either overlap with an event, or impact cube-gathering downtime (though I guess if it's semi-randomized / uncontrolled hwo gets the rate up, that might work for osme people)
sleek owl
Wonder if anyone has brought this up but maybe for an increased gem price you can buy a ship and it's skin in sort of a bundle?
static needle
while sara is an exception, I personally think any ship you can just purchase can tick alot of people. Unless its only limited to easily gettable ships.
If i was a newbie ill just cash jintsuu with her swimsuit than farming
gritty belfry
i mean, look at league of legends, u can either farm for in game gold or spend real money too. I would like this idea to pass down to the devs. if people can afford it, why not since its not your money spent, its theirs.sure people might be bitter if they cant afford it, hence the unfair, well thats life, never fair to any single person.
say boss node drop doesnt have to be in bundles, but like limited event build should be in bundles, since not everyone rng is lucky. so for those who can afford to spend real money, your "luck" has just improved. either way the company still make money out of the events
south sequoia
Yeah, but it makes money at the cost of those who can't pay not getting the advantage of buying a ship outright. League of Legends is balanced by the fact that sure, you can buy a champion, but you still have to git gud at using it. Not so much for AL, where there are ships that are noticeably better in performance than others with less effort needed to use them
faint hinge
Acquiring the character pretty much is the ends in this game, unlike LoL where it's the means. A better comparison would be, well, buying challenger for the backpack
Which Riot removed precisely because of this issue
rare jay
LoL also isn't based upon a gacha model like AL is. That's really like comparing apples to oranges.
faint hinge
The skin crafting model has turned into gacha for the most part but that's beside the point. This won't go on the table because it's so contrary to the core gameplay. Why would you kill the relevancy of your content by allowing people to bypass the farm
gritty belfry
no, i mean not map drop boss map or whatever but like limited time events, some of the past events, i had to miss some of the ships because i had no luck. im sure there are people would rather spend money than miss them forever, given they can afford, but im not talking about map farm, not at all
floral elm
I have a question regarding the 1 year anniversary event happening in LA. Is there a specific date when the winners will be chosen to be a premium guest?
rare jay
Well events do get reruns and as well as limited ships are eventually added to the limited pool slowly over time. For limited ships to be just obtainable from buying them outright, it would ruin the idea that game sets as a gacha.
faint hinge
Uhh, letting people buy past event ships absolutely devalues the reason why a lot of people grind pretty hard during events
It sucks that you missed ships (I have too) but that's just something we have to deal with
If you start devaluing peoples' motivation to play the game, it's disastrous for the game itself. This happened pretty notably with Shironeko Project when they suddenly reran a set of characters that was supposed to be "exclusive"
rare jay

I am extremely confused by the implication there are two Shigure's in today's Summer story. I think Shigure even refers to a different Shigure. I thought the ships were supposed to exist as unique characters when at port, and not mass copies which is what the Sirens use.

velvet adder
As I'm not allowed to ask for the reasoning behind the usage of "elder" due to the rules of this channel, I'll simply state my feedback regarding it.
Elder's usage, while occasionally depending on the context, is most often applied when we're talking about somebody of greater age. In video games, it's sometimes used as classification of upgraded/stronger version of already existing characters. In the case of Azur Lane, Centaur's usage of "Elder" is extremely weird and unnecessary. When talking about other ships, she describes them not as "older" than her (in fact, she mentions their age only once during her questline I believe) but as "more experienced" or "wiser". Much more fitting word, since according to translation's reasoning our playerbase does not know the meaning of the word "senpai", would be something like "Senior", perhaps even "Miss". Just as "Elder", those two imply respect Centaur feels towards her fellow ships while not sounding as if she thinks of them as old grannies one foot in graves. There have already been cases of the usage of "senior" in AL, most particularly Shoukaku's lines regarding Akagi and Kaga. Since both those cases (Shoukaku and Centaur) are simply translation team's attempts at making "senpai" sound english, I feel no reason to change already established "senior", especially with something like "elder", that can create confusion among players who may not know the intend behind her vocabulary.
naive cobalt
I know this may sound somewhat controversial, but sounding "weird and unnatural" is the intended effect. Her calling them that, Elders, is weird and other characters react to it just as confused.
To quote the explanation I was given when I brought this up -
You may disagree and dislike it and I see where you coming from, but this is intended reaction.
And we not going to argue about it. I simply answered your question and ask you to leave it at that.
static needle
Elder also gives a mysterious and elvish feeling so I kind of like it even though its weird but in the first place, cent is a weird character
grizzled rose
@naive cobalt “wierd and unnatural” where is lady four when we need her
naive cobalt
Elder also gives a mysterious and elvish feeling that is exactly the intention here, yes 
velvet adder
Using term Senior would be perceived by others as just as "weird and unnatural". Centaur calling people who never met her "senpai" in JP is just as weird for both JP in-game characters and JP players as "Elder/Senior" is to EN. As it stands currently, the explanation Restart was given only implies preference of translation team to "over-colorize" the translation instead of making it logical and easier to understand for the players. Both words would be seen as extremely uncanny, except that one of them is just slightly more so. Sadly, the slightly more so version takes the player out of experience. Player doesn't think "Oh, she respects them and uses weird vocabulary to describe such respect". They are much more likely to think "Oh, she calls them old. Wait, it can also mean general respect. What a convoluted way to word it"
If a player is unaware of the usage of the word "Elder" when regarding a person who's not necessarily old but simply more experienced, which, as already stated, happens very rarely, such player would require additional explaining. If a person reads or is shown something they don't understand, that thing makes them feel stupid. This is never something a commercial product wants.

Why can Ironbloods use German and Irises french but Sakuras are currently written without honorifics or Japanese terms in romaji (Shoukaku still says senpai though)?

@velvet adder if so then it’s puzzling that some of Dunkerque’s lines pepper in some French for example. Was that Bloodnosed’s handiwork because I know he helps out sometimes.

would it be possible to save gear sets on the server instead of locally? it's kinda annoying when I'm playing on a different device and have to save them all over again (I mostly use them to easily switch gear for normal and x-5 missions)

It's the same thing, translation inconsistency. Not much we can do about it. You can send it to #bug-reports @grizzled rose
velvet adder
Arent ship lines hard coded? Like it wont really affect or spawn any bugs when changed... I suspect thats the case with the apple to orange juice translation being fixed quickly
everything in the game outside of state data is hard coded
That is more or less the case, yes. Yet regardless, amount of those small mistakes apparently amasses quicker than they can be fixed, unless it's something from currently running events, as was seen with the apple juice thing and as will be most likely seen with current Centaur thing with lines being off by one. Older/stale problems become less important to fix when there's constantly new content to translate
The problem with that approach is that when the event is done any typos/trans issues are put on hold and probably wont be fixed. I suggest concentrate on one event and fix those so that when the rerun comes its all good kinda first in first out approach than fix what you can during event time then sweep any unfixed under the rug when event is over. With the current approach none are getting fixed.
shrewd iron
There is not enough translators or employees to work on everything , probably only have enough time to work on the latest. Aka Onii-chan will stay which is extremely pog
velvet adder
Im betting shigure/centaur wont be fixed this iteration and when the rerun of the event comes the problem with shigure dialogue will still be there.
Not enough translators argument is mute because there have already been cases of translation being outsourced to people outside of translation team. There are probably some other issues with the management/scheduling which are pointless to discuss in this channel. You can always ask mods about it directly, perhaps some will be able to help
They cant even update the trello.
Again, ask the higher ups. If You don't trust Moderation to do their job you can always send private message to somebody from the staff but I can't promise a response from them for obvious reasons. Forcing a discussion here will only risk you a ban, and risking it for an issue so relatively minor is not worth it. Come back and attempt discussions when there are some bigger/more current problems.
naive cobalt
If You don't trust Moderation to do their job Forcing a discussion here will only risk you a ban you know perfectly well both of these things to be a lie, so If you want to troll people and scaremonger - I'd have to block you access to this channel

Also, he's not saying you can't trust mods.
velvet adder
I cant lie about his internal feelings towards the moderation because I don't know them, I simply presented him with an option. Second thing is also not a lie because it's literally the purpose of this channel to provide feedback without going into deeper arguments between people. You yourself said it before multiple times. This makes arguing and discussing things in this channel a off topic, which will objectively result in him getting warned and then banned if he continues to do so. I don't understand why are you so aggressive towards me as I didn't do anything wrong. With your current behavior towards me I can't help but fear that this very response I'm giving you will be treated as off topic while in reality im simply trying to defend myself from you @naive cobalt
tardy arch
"word choice" is the phrase of the day folks.
you made it seem like you can't trust the mods to do their job and that "forcing a discussion" would risk an immediate ban, no mention of a warn before hand.
velvet adder
It was never my intention to imply either of those things, which should be obvious to everyone. That person can distrust whoever he wants and having a discussion in this channel may ultimately lead to him being banned. May. That's why I said "risk a ban", not "will be banned". I highly implore you to not put words in my mouth or try finding meaning in them which never existed in the first place. I will no longer reply about this to anyone but a moderation member if any want's to participate, as with the current climate of things I'm scared that my defense (which should have never been needed in the first place, as I didn't do anything wrong) will be taken as creating a discussion and thus an off-topic
lucid compass
So why do I have to watch the cutscene and then be able to complete the objective of the Midsummer Sagittarius event? I did my 3 hard mode clears earlier this morning and just now went to check and see what I needed to do. Turns out after watching the cutscene I for some reason still have to do 3 hard mode clears even though I already did them today. Can that be fixed or has it been suggested because it is really irritating.
rare jay
We can get it suggested for the task to be enabled by default and not require you to watch the cutscenes. So that way when you do watch the cutscenes, the task will already be completed. But for this event particularly, it almost certainly won't be changed due to it already being released and being too late to change.
lucid compass
That's fine I just think it would be better to not HAVE to watch the cutscene before completing the objective. That way if someone is like me and does their dailies before doing event related tasks they aren't punished per say for going in that order.

A lot of gacha games have rarity glows on each individual pulls or for your best rarity drop in a multi-pull. Azur Lane certainly fits the bill of a gacha game, so how about adding rarity glows on ships being built, including the ones that haven't shown their timers yet? For example, if you build a ship with a yellow glow, and then the timer shows 4:20:00, you know you just pulled Lucky Enterprise.

I know everyone just uses drills to get instant gratification but
This would defeat the point of the gacha surprise

not really. if you know the timers then you already know what rare ship you got. plus a simple glow doesn't tell you which ship you got, just the rarity.

I use drills every time cause I see no point in waiting. Thank gods this isn’t like most mobile games where drills would always require premium currency. I’ve not run out of drills since I started playing in Feb, in time to get several events, but I’ve gotten close.
I may not like how hard it is to get middle tier ships compared to dozens of Sandies, Bels, and ships and drop from levels.. but otherwise I have little to complain about mechanic-wise.
And even then my only real beef is that I hate exercises. Having to contend with people who just slap six married ships into defence, most of them using the foxes or Enterprise, when I just wanna complete my blasted dailies is both boring and tedious.

Hi Yostar, I've been playing your game since February 2019. At the beginning I was pleased with how fun and easy to get in hands the game was. The premise of a collection game with fair gacha mechanic was refreshing after many games I've tried. Now after a couple of month playing I'm starting to get worried about the future of your game, especially with the collection aspect of the game. Here's some feedback that I think would help to keep that collection aspect intact.
1- When there's a Big event or even a Rate Up I think that you should implement a system that reduce the chance for dups, so that at least we have a fair chance of getting the new ship. (The last 2 Rate Up for me was a disaster 120+ cubes each without new SR).
2- The loot pool is getting a little too much in my opinion. I think a rework should be considered. We have 3 regular pool so you should use it to split the drop (without dups) in each. Example(Light= CL & DD, Heavy= CA & SUBS, Special= BB/BC & CV)
3- The percentage for the drops needs to be reworked too IMO (Common=30%, Rare 42%, Elite 18%, SR 10%). That would be a good step forward. The more character you introduce the more harder it becomes to get X character and the more rough on us player it get. Changing % along the way is necessary to keep things fair and fun for us.
4- I feel that when you introduce a new ship let's say one like Centaur for example. It's only one ship so we know how low the chance is to get her, The Rate Up should be higher (at least 4% or 5% when few new boat introduce) and again refer to #1 for a fair system. 2% for SR when there's 5+ new boats is ok but still I feel it should be more.
Anyway I might be the only one to think that way, but it is a feedback and I hope you consider making at least some changes. Thank you.
gritty belfry
u spoke exaclty whats on me and my guild, we losing interest as speaking right now, we feel something about their longterm strat is not gonna work or gain new player interest. i loved this game at first too, deeply, then it went downhill badly. i know its gacha style but its more like treated as lootboxes. it doesnt matter how many new ships are introduced, if players feel like they are wasting effort/time without getting results back. thats not good sign. 120+cubes on each event and nothing, yikes

The premise of this game was Collection games not Gacha sadly. Now it's going full Gacha and it's not fun anymore. Look at early ads for AL and you'll see for yourself. The direction Yostar is taking is scary for us player.
minor robin
- There is already a similar suggestion for a "safety net" to ensure it's possible to get a certain rate up unit after a certain number of rolls.
- Hence the reason the build pool was adjusted last update. It remains to be seen if there will be anymore.
- Absolutely not, gacha rates for this game are already far better than most other games, ESPECIALLY considering the sheer ease of obtaining cubes to roll. Not to mention many ships can also be farmed.
- Don't get why it's necessary
keen moss
Being better doesn't mean best, their's still improvement to be made. Nothing is perfect.
minor robin
Go any higher and you risk losing the sense of joy you get when you do roll one
Its a very delicate balancing act
Not to mention, a lot of non-SR ships are good if not better than their SR counterparts
keen moss
True but the more character you introduce the more harder it becomes to get X character and the more rough on us player it get. Changing % along the way is necessary to keep things fair and fun for us.
Loot pool will become saturated at some point.
minor robin
That's why rate ups exist
And certain events like wishing well and free SR of choice exist
And again, that's why the loot pool was recently organised so they wouldn't saturate other pools
naive cobalt
True but the more character you introduce the more harder it becomes to get X character and the more rough on us player it get Increasing general drop chances will affect it to negligible degree
If you increase, for example, Elites drop rate by 5% - split over 20 or so chars, it's a minor increase
keen moss
I still stand behind my feedback though. And it's the same for ship Restart if you add more character the % for each specific ship drop along the way making it more difficult to get it.
naive cobalt
your point makes sense
solution does not
way better solution is what we already saw previous patch
clearing pools and organizing them
that change alone increased your chances to get particular ship way more than your suggestion rn
minor robin
Splitting the pools like how you suggested isn't going to solve much either, seeing how there's more CLs and ESPECIALLY DDs than any other class to begin with
And frankly, most of the saturation is centered on the light pool to begin with
At least in terms of non-SR
keen moss
Well they should reorganise it a bit more then and also removing them from other banner would help
minor robin
Which is why there have been other suggestions such as the aforementioned safety net, and for the inclusion of more ships in medal shop (which should be made bigger)
They literally just did that last patch
keen moss
My feedback is not there to be like use all 4 of them if only one can be usefull that's a good step forward don't you think
But these are my concern.
talking about it does nothing wrong and helps start a conversation around stuff that should be address.
naive cobalt
What we saying is
devs acknowledged this as an issue and addressing it
as can be seen in the last patch

Thank you, we'll take a note of that

I was just wondering if Essex will also end up using "elder" as that would sound incredibly awkward in dialogue.
shell bramble
Who knows, but per past policy they won't really accept feedback until it's actually implemented in EN client
naive cobalt
Obviously nothing I can confirm now, but she shouldn't, why?
"Elder" is not just "a translation for sempai", it's a word that fits Centaurs character and story
As in the word was chosen specifically for her, not as a blanket translation for the word "sempai" or whatever equivalent in CN is, since that's the main language they translate from
gritty belfry
Thank you 😃😃

If that gets implemented, I demand an ability to see whose voice gets disabled the most
lyric maple
why was the elite build rate lowered? elites were already the hardest ships to build (specifically/especially in light) and now it's gonna be even harder to get them (especially if the lunar new year event with like 5 light build elites gets rerun)
just as an example, since montpelier and denver were added, i've gotten at least 8 of monty, even more of belfast, and only 1 cleveland with the 1:25 time (and no denver heh)
naive cobalt
why was the elite build rate lowered? it wasn't
lyric maple
i thought it was 14% before 
well i guess that still doesn't change my thinking that it should be raised a bit to accommodate for lots of elite ships in a pool
naive cobalt
we answered that not that long ago
general chances increase would affect individual rate almost negligibly
problem is not with drop rates, but with oversaturation of the pool
literally just this patch addressed this
so devs are aware about it and taking steps to improve it

Houshou should either get quite a high FP stat, or still a decent one with Secondary +1 I believe. Zeppy straight-up outclasses her
keen moss
As a follow up to yesterdays feedback that I made, here's what I believe to be a quit good solution to the roll system.
I am aware that I use in my example another gacha games feature to show how it could be done. Don't need to use it 100% identical.
In Fire Emblem Heroes there's a system called focus hero in each banner.
The way it work is each banner have 3 to 5 heroes that are focus and thus have increase chance of getting them. (3star, 4star, 5star, 5star Focus) 5star is highest rarity.
Ex. 3star will have 34%, 4star 56%, 5star 5%, 5star Focus 5%. We could have something like that and rotate the focus ship every week, bi-weekly or monthly your choice. (Note here if the Focus Unit is an old Unit/Perma it's still in regular 5star pull as well)
There's also Legendary banner once a month. In that banner there's no regular 5star pull only 3star, 4star and 5star Focus(3 to 5 hero) which is set at 8%.
When a new banner comes out (New Ship in this case) They have a special banner with "All the new heroes as FOCUS ONLY".(5%)
So if we take that into Azur Lane that could work like this. Commons, Rare, Elite, SR, SR Focus. and have both SR & Focus set at 5% each so there's equal chance to get Focus/New Ship vs Non Focus/Old Ship. That would be less frustrating than the 7% SR vs 2% New Ship we currently have. And you can decide more often when to roll based on Focus available that time. (Especially if you don't own one of them)
There is also another feature that adds 0.25% to 5star & 5star Focus every 5 roll until you drop one 5star (any 5star) and goes back down to 5%.
It looks like a big change but we only add 1% the the SR value by doing this and while making the system more fair to all player.
Hopefully this feedback can help. If you have question or things are not clear enough let me know. And everyone tell me what you think of this solution.
velvet adder
Recent balancing of the pools happened earlier in JP/CN iirc. I really doubt that EN team even has a say in how the gacha works.
keen moss
It's still worth a shot don't you think? If you like the idea 👍 my post for more visibility.
velvet adder
Well sure, but in my opinion the gacha is fine as it is If you make it any easier/forgiving, why not just remove whole gacha element completely
keen moss
You think that 2 Rate up event with around 120+ cubes used for each without new SR is fine.
My goal is to make the odds of getting new SR equal to old SR that's it
formal oyster
That would be less frustrating than the 7% SR vs 2% New Ship we currently have.
Wait that's not how that works 
velvet adder
I used 300 cubes for the recent sub banner. Sometimes you just get unlucky. Average amount of cubes I have used in events is 160-220. But my bottom line is, that AL's gacha is fine.
timber echo
Do escort ships' AP shells vanish when it hit shields?
formal oyster
Talking about Vanguard ships ? Yes they do. They do damage the shield though. Also, try to ask that kind of question in #gameplay-help next time, if you please.
timber echo
Oh, thanks
Here's a suggestion:
To make AP more appealing for vanguard ships in later story maps, make AP shells overpen shields too.
formal oyster
I guess you're mainly talking about Heavy Cruisers ? Since Light Cruisers don't really need the AP to be more "appealing" to use them. If anything it's their HE that should be buffed.
But that feature for Heavy Cruisers would indeed be interesting, even though I hardly think that it'd be sufficient to make them drop HE altogether.
timber echo
I'm not asking for players to drop HE, just make AP more appealing. A little bit more appealing.
minor robin
I believe we do have one blanket suggestion for AP buffs in general, this would be one of them
Also regarding the gacha bit, there really isn't much issues with the rates for each rarity
The fundamental issue is how often said gachas are
Which isn't something we can take feedback on owing to the 📌 sure, but that's more of an issue
velvet adder
If you think CA HE dominates, clearly you haven't been in W12+

If Iris ships using French in their lines wasn’t supposed to happen (inconsistency), who even wrote them in? Tv tropes (don’t stay there too long) has a bunch of articles on gratuitiously sprinkling in other languages (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GratuitousFrench for one).
slate monolith
It's more like the CV trying to show the character is French somehow I take it
grizzled rose
@slate monolith i was talking about the EN lines because @velvet adder said that the French text in the English lines was a translation inconsistency (but Emile straight up says bonjour in her intro)
slate monolith
Well, I'm taking it as the same thing there, since if you just went with the text, you would only know that she was a French ship by her one time intro and then it would be ignored that she knows French after that
grizzled rose
Listening to the lines more, it seems while Emile’s CV uses French in her lines with the EN text reflecting that, Dunkerque doesn’t so I guess it’s inconsistent for Dunkerque. Will see about the others
Le Mars victory and defeat lines have shoehorned French though her CV doesn’t use it
shy pond
I do suppose admiral_noone has the correct argument. French, nor any other language, shouldn't be wrenched in where it is not in JP

tropic stratus
Not sure if it fits here (as its not technically in-game), but is there any particular reasoning as to why Cavalla's skin flavour text is so different for EN compared to the JP text? Obviously a minor thing, but it seems like a strange thing to change.
naive cobalt
Flavour text is usually made up from scratch as far as I'm aware
It's easier and better flows in english, when text is written in english from the start
tropic stratus
But isn't that the entire point of localization? Translating the existing text then making modifications needed to make it flow well? Rather than entirely rewriting stuff? I mean, if the flavour text is indeed just made up by the individual language teams that's fine for this.
hardy sluice
I dont think the TL team really care that much, a lot of people complain about the translation back during the bismark event, and we never got a response from the TL team. I think most people gave up in trying to change the translation.
naive cobalt
making modifications needed to make it flow well it was deemed that changing flavour text doesn't have any drawbacks in that case
and we never got a response from the TL team yes you did, response was given in this exact channel by both TL team and game staff
It's not "correct" and "incorrect" flavour text, it's "one" and "another", both are freely available to you and don't ruin your experience
tropic stratus
Modifications != rewriting. Those are two completely different things. In this case, the flavour text went from Cavella buying some gifts for other subs and the commander to... buying bread from a bargain bin of an oddly named store. Minor case, but the cavalier attitude towards it is why people complain about this sort of thing.
naive cobalt
Again - if it was changed - means staff allowed for it, meaning it's in-character flavour text.
Even if you dislike changes - those are still official and approved changes.
tropic stratus
And just because they are official and approved changes, does not mean people cannot be dissatisfied with said changes.
naive cobalt
True, but overwhelming majority enjoys these changes and how EN text is written, bar some stand outs and staff said numerous times that having 1-to-1 translation from JP was never their intent.
So while it's noted that some people would prefer more direct translation - I can't offer you any answer beyond that
tropic stratus
"Overwhelming majority"? I see a large amount of complaints about certain things, and the people that 'like' the changes probably wouldn't mind the properly translated text either. People getting into games like this are not interested in the EN teams 'interpretation' of JP, but are playing simply because they can't speak japanese.
celest abyss
Worth noting
Translation that's not literal does include changing things for a better flow in translated-to language
But localisation does go further than that
tropic stratus
I mean, this particular instance isn't really that notable overall. Only something of note because the ongoing history in the past few months. Though hilariously the "Stop n' Rob" store name makes it sound like Cavella robbed the store (especially with her default art pointing a gun directly at the viewer)
high dome
@tropic stratus actually
We never even see the JP flavor text
And they never see ours
And JP and CN and KR don't match up either
tropic stratus
Yeah just checked the (machine translated) text for CN as well and that seems different. I guess that confirms that each region makes their own skin flavour text?
static needle
Every tweet in new ships in jp has flavor text while en never did and no one really cared It doesnt really matter in the end anyways

shy pond
If the change to the flavour text is this large.... I will say the TL team has not learned their lesson, especially with all the recent feedback about botched translations. This is particularly disheartening seeing as there are multiple suggestions to show off flavour text with the in-game store (which could make people more interested in the purchase)
minor robin
Each version has different flavour text so...
velvet adder
Aren't there Trellos about the translation "issues"?
minor robin
exactly there are, except the one about flavour text isn't the most valid
think tosa already made it clear about the flavour text bit above, no need to flog the dead horse
velvet adder
Good, go upvote it if you care so much and think the silent majority is with you
shy pond
But this does not mean it is not valid. So could that be added to the TL issues since the flavour text is still accessible? The devs may see it as valid opposition to the current TL
Because Azur Lane stood firm on not localizing texts at first, so these changes are rather sad to see. Especially complete re-writes, which probably should be avoided. Sure, localizing text is sometimes necessary to get a concept across, but it is often abused to completely change the meaning of a given line of dialogue. That is all I have to say on this topic
faint hinge
Who said that
EN is its own version, just as JP has the authority to write things that are different from CN. EN has never been a translation of JP, and especially as EN catches up, we will often be writing things concurrently and independently from JP.
shrewd iron
as usual i dont think they care. changing gender, changing text, changing meaning. Even tho the voicelines completely different from what is said. You cant get these disagreements to the people in charge since all they do is throw this trello thing at you and pretend they actually read it. Or they just give this oh but the majority thinks it is this and that but the majority doesnt exist since they dont say anything either.
faint hinge
Voices are recorded after lines are written. CN has the same discrepancies if JP decides to change lines for voicing
velvet adder
All I'm gonna say is, if you really care about these 'issues' you should go and upvote what Trello cards there are - which at the moment seem really barren of upvotes
Don't go complaining about things not changing if you can't even be bothered to vote - or maybe is it that the silent majority that's angry at these 'issues' does not exist?
shrewd iron
the silent majority doesnt even know trello is a thing because its so awful to use
velvet adder
Telling people it exists and how it works isn't so hard, and if they can't be bothered to listen or learn how to use it - clearly they didn't really care that much about the issue, did they?
faint hinge
Dunno, it’s a step up from spamming customer support’s email and getting automated responses. Each card gets reviewed individually and it’s a completely transparent public process, so...

u say that but a lot of our issues arent even on the trello LOL- whats the point if everything gets handpicked
People arent going to spend time to go make an account just to put it on something that isnt even going to be read

shrewd iron
"literally everything" the same as usual. Just keep blaming everything, make it as troll baiting and spreading misinformation. How many people have been muted from anyone saying this? The public? Well the few people that actually come to this channel that is. Misinformation? i dont see your special localization in the trello - oh wait its "accepted by the majority". "Literally everything". Sure man do what you do. "no u dont have to make a trello account" Well thats not what i was told. Was it explicitly stated? Probably. Do the majority who literally just wants one issue known gives a shit about this? Probably not. They are just going to come here, post a paragraph or sentence - Hey theres a bug here, hey theres a translation mistake here and go away. They are not going to stay. Hence i am right. Also how do i know if the devs even read it considering i just said the exact reason. What i said is very reasonable, if you cant wrap your head around it then too bad. I am going to mute this channel now.

hm, could we get an option to castle our fleets when they're right next to each other? (i.e. have them swap places, like you can do with your king and rook in chess)
like, I have [A][B], select one, double-tap the other, and get [B][A] in one move
icy bay
This one is pretty minor, but you know how you can tap+hold onto your secretary ship to open up their details page? This doesn't seem to work when the secretary ship has a l2d skin. Do you think it's possible to have it work for it also with l2d? Unless it was done intentionally.
jade surge
@normal vine why would you want to castle them other than baiting a moving enemy?
normal vine
because I realized that I moved the wrong fleet on a specific field, and don't want to tap half a dozen times to correct that?
jade surge
but why not just have the fleet you want to move just pass over the other fleet? unless its a very movement precise scenario, which i can only think of that one surround the siren courier bonus mission, it doesnt seem that useful

Please rework this daily for higher level players. It's fine for low levels, but it's just an insult to players who have been playing the game for 3+ months. Thank you
rare jay
That daily takes no effort to complete and takes about 10 seconds to do. The rewards need to have some correlation to the effort put into them. Yes, it gives you lower tier gear but you can upgrade the boxes and white plates will technically always be used. And as well, by doing this mission, you get the weekly completed which gives you higher tier rewards which is better suited for higher level players.
iron ledge
It's a huge eyesore and way too "cheap" daily. There's no real incentive to complete it but the weekly daily, thus it becomes a boring chore. Even more so when higher level players have many maxed out enhanced ships, leading only the most determined players to complete the daily, not caring about its rewards.
I see no harm in increasing its rewards to at least blue box/blue plates, which would be on par with other dailies. Now it's just a bad reward design for a daily, outside fresh new players.
rare jay
But even the most veteran players will get new ships to level up. Leveling up will ALWAYS be a thing w/in the game. Unless you level up enough ships for 2 fleets and then never care to raise any others.
iron ledge
What harm do you see in giving it blue upgrade?
White boxes/plates are NEVER wanted outside early levels. Blue general parts on the other hand, are highly needed always!
rare jay
Don't get me wrong, I'll add your suggestion to the Trello board as there's no harm to the suggestion and it's valid feedback/suggestion. I just feel like expressing my concerns to the effort/reward correlation https://trello.com/c/652hHxEj/812-re-evaluate-the-rewards-for-the-enhance-ships-1-time-daily

i would really appreciate a function to convert blue prints into another category. demand for cl and dd prints is massive while when do you even ever need bb or cv prints? like there is sara for cv but thats it, not even pr cv's around. or at least adjust the drop rate to favor dd and cl prints, since cl prints are also for ca, giving them a real high demand
im constantly out of dd and cl prints but i have tons of bb and cv prints i probably never will use and im probably not the only one
thers are 7 bb you can retrofit, and 9 cv, compared to 28 dd and 25 cl/ca . just saying while the drop rate for all of the prints seem equal
naive cobalt
adjust the drop rate to favour dd and cl prints
but... each mission only drops specific prints and nothing else

oh no i dont mean the hard mode, i mean the random ones from missions
or from weeklies

well i do them all the time because i have nothing else todo ingame, i have every dropable ship, every stage cleared 3* etc. all i need is gold and prints for the missing retros and they are all overwhelmingly dd /cl . hardmode is already limited enough with only 3 times a day, then 90% of time i get the wrong blue prints in weeklies and comissions so i thought i point the imbalance out with the retros.

I can't post the feedback on Cavella's flavour text for her skin sadly, as the TL is far out of my capabilities to translate. Would it be possible to get a card to say "Re-evaluate the flavour text of Cavella's skin as it seems to be wildly differing from the text in other releases"? I am posting this here and not through the belbot as I can not fully TL the whole thing myself, but I could make out a bit which was extremely different.
static needle
the previous statement made about flavour text for skins is that all of them are different on all servers. cn has its own, jp has its own and en is getting its own

Can we have a Skin Archive in the Memento AKA Collection Page?
earnest compass
Really should've let us replay Approaching Storm with no limits once we finished it. For those who want to record footage maybe
alpine crown
Suggestion:
USS Bogue needs an update/upgrade for two reasons:
1.) She's lauded as the most successful anti-submarine carrier of WWII and yet neither of her skills honor that fact. Her skills are generic, filler, useless, and forgettable.
2.) If you are planning to ramp up and improve the ASW aspects of the game, the players, new players especially, who missed Winter's Crown do not have access to Chaser and her ASW specialized skillset. But hey, look who's a common CVL they have access to and can easily retrofit?
rare jay
@deep sorrel It's been suggested to have a skin inventory type of deal to view them all
@earnest compass If you're referring to just viewing the cutscenes and doing the battles again, you can in the archives section
@alpine crown While I do agree w/ the idea I'm not too sure how it could be handled aside from another retro since giving her a ASW-type skill is brand new to her
naive cobalt
doing the battles again, you can in the archives section
Only first one actually
for some reason
naive cobalt
the tutorial one, ye
unless I'm missing something, but don't think so
minor robin
Regarding the suggestion to bogue kai, I don't see why she needs it
Putting aside chaser not even being from winter crown
CVLs aren't supposed to be that good at asw anyways
Her history as an asw ship is featured as the highest asw stat for a CVL
The main issue is that bogue kai was made before submarines are in the game
We can't really accept this suggestion since it would count as new content
Another reason is that such an upgrade is not done because Bogue is functionally borked in any way and needs fixing like say Abercrombie
Even if I personally do agree with it
alpine crown
wait, chaser was not winter's crown? my bad
minor robin
She was from the Chinese New Year gacha with Mullaney and Kimberley
Given Yat Sen was added permanently after a 2 runs, chaser will likely be the same later on anyways
cursive plank
Ehhh I entirely agree with the Bogue idea, I don't think retroactively buffing a ship is a bad idea at all
Also if the game is trying to make submarines amd ASW a bigger part of the game. I don't see how this can't be done, especially when Warspite kai has ASW stats and probably Enterprise kai will have too because her first kill is actually a submarine, it would be funny the most successful ASW carrier doesn't get anything added to her simply because her retrofit came too early
naive cobalt
Main problem is, again, as Toaster said, is that she unfortunately already had her retro and until we have an actual precedent of it - I'm not even going to consider Kai Ni to be a thing. And even if it was - we not taking suggestions about new retrofits.
And outside of it there's no way to just "give" her new skill
cursive plank
Just add another branch at the end of her retrofit tree, I would so pay any cost for it
We already had plenty of examples (Saratoga, Starters etc) that has a skill unlock after the retrofit is done that needs T3 parts, prints and coins, so its not even unprecedented
naive cobalt
Same thing - until there's a precedent of adding more nodes retroactively to retrofit - not gonna consider it. It's too close to the "new content/retrofits" rule we have.
Sara had that from the very start. Bogue skill unlocks before it
cursive plank
I don't agree it being under new content at all, first of all no one is asking for new ships or new maps or new retrofits, second of all, all ASW stats are retroactively added to ships anyways and ships like starters have high ASW despite no ASW stats in retrofit tree (Nicholas as a post submarine era retrofit have them in the tree) simply because the devs decided to give them a higher base stat of ASW to compensate for it. If you can do it with stats why not with skills?
Also that AA command doesn't mean a ship cannot have two unlocked skill in their retrofit tree

Hey @rare jay, this is the suggestion you're referring to, right? Well, the description implies that only skins you bought or earned will be shown. Maybe update this suggestion to show all the skins that have been released over the course of the game, lighting up skins you own and darken unowned skins, similar to the ship collection page. Whoops, forgot the https.

Do you mean plates? If so, such a thing has already been suggested: https://trello.com/c/JmNtQxeL/401-upgrade-downgrading-plates-and-part-conversions
shy pond
With the flavour text, which I saw denied AGAIN. Here is a more in-depth analysis. The description completely omits certain parts, as well as having a shoddy store name (the hell, why would anybody write it like this?). The decriptions should stay at leats somewhat close across releases as this may alienate people who speak a language used in the other versions. That combined with how blatant of a diversion from the other flavour texts this is, along with very potentially not fitting with the lines of the skin.... I would appreciate if some thought was given to the idea of letting the devs know that it may be a good idea to look into this one thing
naive cobalt
it was already answered - translators don't have access to the JP text when writing flavour text + each region has their own flavour text
celest abyss
Isn't EN translated from CN or something too?
naive cobalt
Yes
on top of it - JP changes CN text whenever they want as well, so point is even less relevant
tropic stratus
It would probably be a good idea for the company to have some 'agreed upon' central story writing. Just to make sure events & characterization are the same across regions. Small things like skin flavour text don't really matter at all so that's no consequence (unless there's a large break in character), but it would be odd to have large changes depending on the area. Consistency is important IMO.
round yacht
I think what may not be clear is that the flavor text for the social media announcements are all lines from the characters that you can hear or read when you get them in game. Just, for whatever reason, the social media teams of the different regions choose to use different lines. It's nothing to do with translation or localization or anything like that. All of the lines are available on all the characters ingame.
clear heron
@tropic stratus it's been noted as an issue on the trello, so it's a thing that the team is at least aware of, though it doesn't go in depth as to what.
And as far as I can see, nobody has formally reported flavour text, though considering the statements outlined above there is reason why they are as is atm, and any issues would have to be brought up with the line proper on release.
high dome
there's no way to really report the text since they're accurate to their "original"

i believe we need an Arizona Oath/Retrofit (Retro optional but would be nice) but most definitely an Oath skin for her, or just a skin in general. If it were an Oath skin, make it where she is no longer sad but rather happy and her nightmares gone. If it doesn't work you could give her a maid skin because in the Manga iv'e seen her and Pennsylvania both have one. If this is impossible to do or simply cant be done, then so be it, i shall be happy with my beloved Arizona.

When will we be able to get Zuikaku again on the English server?
Also, great game, but higher levels could be a bit easier.
rare jay
The next availability for Zui will be when she's added permanently into the build pool. We have no official date for it yet though (but iirc it was around the 1st Anniversary for JP when she was added ) As for the higher levels, they actually were nerfed not too long ago. They are do-able. You just need to make good use of high leveled ships, good fleet formations, and good gear. Which #gameplay-help is actually able to help you w/

Levels have actually been reduced actually
But that was to cater to include w13 within the 120 cap

Well, sorry I bothered you guys with that, but yes, I do agree with statements by other players regarding the fact that there should be some common outline at least (for the TLs). Thanks for answering. It brought up a good pojnt from someone else, so I am happy with that

Hi devs, please consider adding notification for Research. My research was completed about 20 minutes before the maintenance and I was supposed do a new research before the clock hits, but I forgot to. Yes, I know it's partly my fault that I'm absent-minded, but isn't that what game notifications are for? Commissions and Trainings give me notifications when completed, why can't Researches do that too? Now I can't even log in to do my Research due to maintenance, and it's 8 hours wasted.

its been implemented in the JP ver, its just a matter of time till they bring it to EN ver too

in the exchange shops for points, i see cat boxes, but since its not introduced to us, we dont have it yet, but my point is we are losing out on this opportunity, instead of using the points for cat boxes too, now we cant

yes, we can't use points to buy things that are not yet introduced in our region

what about my feedback?

what do you mean by "fast forward"?

the button on event maps

if you referring to clearing mode - please just say that

Where you can also toggle clearing mode
No the other new toggle
naive cobalt
there's new toggle?

Its called fast forward
Moves on the map faster sirens player ships etc
naive cobalt
lemme check after I finish with the battle
twilit pawn
ya there is fast forward for all the new maps as enemy ships move also which can take long if you wait for all of them to move
naive cobalt
that sounds useful and I would expect them to add it to the story maps anyway, but I'll add it as a suggestion
gloomy mauve
If its there it could also just be always an option, would be a waste otherwise...
eternal bear
So I start the event maps and full clear took a bit on map 1 hard mode but I did it. Then I went for normal clear where I do the minimum and please excuse the use of foul language but the best way to describe it is a cluster fuck. Making my way to the enemy flag ship was quite annoying since I am blocking the base from being capped or damaged and all the enemies try to go around. Even letting some through it still feels really clustered with the amount of enemies that spawn. On top of that I am more used to a scaling amount of enemies per map, but 10 mobs on the first hard mode map kinda feels like a lot when I believe it is usually 8. The result is the map feels over packed due to size and the amount of fleets left after boss spawns. Can't ask for it to be changed this event, I know it wont, but for future events it is nice to have reasonably open sea. Thanks!
naive cobalt
Pretty sure that is 100% intended effect
if you read the story, you'd know that you're currently under massive siege and in losing position
that would be moot if you could just easily breeze through them
especially since there's no "defeat all enemies" tasks for 3*
at least at the start

Been noticing for several events that enemy ships, especially the siren ones, tend to stay far behind the screen so it's difficult for your ships to hit them when auto-ing, this may need some finetuning. Not sure if I should be putting it here or in bug reports

Bug on one of the maps where heavy cuiser productions from siren forces are too far back to be seen and do not move up at all. I think you need to move the spawn for the models forward. Might be the 3 star BB fleets, I forget which specific fleet they spawn in.

JP and CN both removed the tattoo as well. Guess it's an art change
eternal bear
And make that all of the C maps. As for tattoo censorship, the US should be fine so putting it back into the JP version for US should be fine

The above user is looking into reporting the spawning issue. As for the tattoos, it's not censorship if the entire art was changed as a whole. No server uses it

A suggestion, it would be really nice if ships could equip antisubmarine gear in separate slots that have no interaction with regular gear, simmilar to how submarine party has their own section when making a fleet.

OK SOMETHING JUST HAPPENED AND IT WAS FUN, BUT I AM A BIT SCARED. So I tab out to a friends text, then go to texting to make sure I give him a full response. I then go to back to the game and I unpause it. My fleet moves around the map at literal lightning speed for a few seconds. IDK what triggered this, but I may try it again.

||Sorry if this is more of a #gameplay-help question||
minor robin
Haven't tried yet frankly
eternal bear
Thanks for clarification, I asked what you asked about a million times, since I have cubes not not gold. I burned through 100k plus god and no balti still. I originally did not agree with guarunteed rate ups for events where you get only certain ships before it becomes random or whatever but I now agree with that and would like to support it. I struggle too much with this rush to get caught up and I feel like I whale to much on cubes compared to costumes. Getting back on the subject of gold and stuff, just make research have a significantly lower cost, or guarantee one of the projects to be a free one each time with no strings attached so I can have it running but not miss out on projects. On top of this, I know we have a rate up in 2 weeks again and I have not been able to save cubes at all mostly due to other events such as sub event. I know pacing is not being taken into effect, but please think about our cubes. I whale and struggle, I cannot imagine how F2P feels for this rush.
shell bramble
What is a 'gold burning event'? One with a gacha at all?
eternal bear
Lemme help you help us conserve gold for things, lower the event gold spending and all gold on rolling, remove gold as a whole when improving and making gear, we have the parts to make gear and improve it, gold isn't necessary to make and improve gear and it adds up. On top of these, gold is an issue with limit breaking. 10K for an SR final limit break and what, nearly 15k total is insane. You give us the means to level ships especially late game from 1 to 70 in only a few days and 70 to 90-100 in a week or two. You also give us the limit break resources to do so with the amount of gold bulis.
minor robin
I think what would be better is, faster way of replenishing gold lost
