is there anyway we can get more upgrade for canteen and gold storage? if our commander lvl gets way high but its useless since eveyrthing is maxed...

minor robin Jul 31, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

Probably the most straightforward way frankly

gritty belfry Jul 31, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

do we need to suggest to dev to make them realize? im lvl 82 in 3 months, i cant imagine how longer older players feel about not able to max things further

#

i woudnt mind the gold usage on stuff if things are more loose on ends. please kindly help make it heard aloud

#

as for feedback in this event, so far im lovin it, its more challenging now esp the hard mode, i feel sweats coming down as the enemy fleet encloses the harbor. thumbs up on that idea, no longer idle dullness clear map... i wish the as1 would be perma since we all know only for anni event , or maybe make the as1 etc maps like limits to 20 tries? its just for anni and maybe chinese new year events

Well for stage replays (if that's what you're asking for) there is such as feature in JP/CN where you're able to replay old events a certain amount of times w/in a day. And events are slowly but surely added to it

Please maintain at least some form of quality control. First Centaurs mini event story that had a messed up order and now this event that has dialog bugs.

If the TL team/Devs actually read story before patch going live, they wouldve caught it.

I really like the contents of the event and i am the kind of player who appreciates good story/worldbuilding.

Hello. I understand why EN can't have the cat boxes or the PR2 blueprints but in previous events things that EN didn't have used to get replaced with other items like retrofit blueprints. But lately, like with the french event or this one, these things have just been cut from the shop without a replacement at all. This is over 20k of event currency worth of things EN is missing. Not only that but in the ladder the DR blueprints get replaced with PR1 blueprints at a 1:1 rate even though they're supposed to be more valuable. I would like for this to be looked at ~~considering how long it's taking for some of these features to release in EN.~~

We can bring it up, but unfortunately we can't guarantee any changes to the shops. And as well they won't be able to change the current event as it's too late to change it but it could be in reference to future events.

Ok I think I said it above some hrs ago but didn't get any reply back. Thought I did it wrong place. Anyways thought this pre event is awesome so far. 1) the stages actually as tough as interesting it gets. Love the base defense things , changes whole gameplay, not mindless charge attk and move on. 2) I did encounter the wall but as mentioned by a player named Centaur. I hope I got reported. 2) I love special stages for cube drop, wish it was like 3 or how many tries per day instead of once. But better than nothing so thanks for this cube drop map 😃

Yea, I know that but I mean is does pre anni event count or only the anni event. So I know when to spend $$ , I can't afford to spend during both. Say if they see pre anni event didn't bring much profit then the anni event might get cut a bit 🤔

velvet adder Jul 31, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

If you're calling what's currently going on as the "pre anni event" then I will need to disappoint you with the fact that current event has barely anything to do with our anniversary. It just so happened to fit in the timeframe around which they should start doing something for said anniversary. And also, If we were to judge based on the anniversaries of other servers, our upcoming anniversary will be smaller than what's currently happening

#

But I suppose if you felt a need to express your support and love towards EN specifically, I'd recommend shilling out during the anniversary proper. If you just want to say you like the game as a whole I'd recommend doing it now.

For normal event stages, can we just freely switch ships like in hard event stages

It is very fucking irritating to change fleets manually before every stage (cuz for this event one of the requirements to 3 star a stage is to bring at most 10 ships, meaning I need to manually change my fleet 2 instead of just removing 2 ships at the stage selection screen)

Localization isn't a 1:1 thing. The Japanese version does not only meme where the Chinese original did, and it often does not meme where the Chinese original did. Please understand that the Japanese version of the game takes extensive license with the Chinese original. The English version is comparatively a lot more faithful.

last part, known bug

lilac venture Aug 1, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

I would like to propose two suggestions.

First: a 'mulligan' option when you build a ship...For 24 hrs you can try and get a new ship from the same one you built them from...First try is free...Any subsequent tries cost more and more coins, starting at the same as building a new ship, and then escalating...That way people have higher chances to get ships they want, and also you can potentially get more gem purchases (as whales will buy more so they can guarantee the ship they want in another way).

Second, if it doesn't exist: a trade function. Like if I have 2 or 3 of a ship, I could trade it to someone else, and get a ship I want from them.

minor robin Aug 1, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

As much as the first suggestion seems good, I don't think it would work for AL, since most people wouldn't build all at once, but break them up due to the daily missions for a certain amount of event currency for every 3 ships built

#

As for the second, we've rejected trade suggestions in the past due to it being very abusable, without massive caveats

#

Additionally, it wouldn't be fair to those with ships that have not been released on other servers to transfer them over to one without them i.e avrora

lilac venture Aug 1, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

Restrict it to server only

#

Maybe that could work?

static needle Aug 1, 2019, 1:13 AM

Trade ship system would never work, the most reasonable system is still the safety net

ornate basin Aug 1, 2019, 1:16 AM

#

we were told "no trade systems" but it was unpinned or deleted, either way you have to make it unabusable which frankly seems near impossible

lilac venture Aug 1, 2019, 1:18 AM

#

Not really

#

Same rarity for same rarity..server only...And only 'buildable' ships...That way, not only do you prevent people from getting ships that they shouldn't have from other servers, but also make sure people aren't cheesing it to get gold for white or the like

void schooner Aug 1, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

So I can trade Bulins for Gold-tier ships?

lilac venture Aug 1, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

Buildables, you have to be able to BUILD the ship for it to be tradable

#

For example, an Alabama for a Bismarck and visa versa

#

Or a Jean Bart for the North Dakota...ect

static needle Aug 1, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

it stays abusable when u can just have 5 alt accnts and your main only rolls common ssr ships like hood or sandy then u trade these ships to limited ships from events in your other 5 accounts.

Jesus christ, I'm Puerto Rican, and even though San Juan's lines have some of the "spanglish" we tend to use, that Special touch line is pretty horrible. The only thing her lines are gonna do is give her stupid and lazy mexican jokes. At least keep it like the other servers and don't make up lines like you did to some french boats (Le Mar's out of place Merde which sounds pretty rude and out of place). I don't want other people to come and call it offensive either.

sour monolith Aug 1, 2019, 3:00 AM

#

Ayy caramba, even my spanish friend cringed. I don't get why change San Juan though? San Diego is also a spanish name. Might as well put filipino language in Bataan?

📎 unknown.png

#

But really I just can't undersand the whole special touch line

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 3:01 AM

#

yeah, giving San Juan spanish but not even giving Bataan filipino? I honestly don't get what goes on in the translation team

sour monolith Aug 1, 2019, 3:02 AM

#

My suggestion is to fix that special touch line, it seems like translators went way too overboard.

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 3:03 AM

#

or at least be consistent on the localization

sour monolith Aug 1, 2019, 3:03 AM

Least you can get to fix it before too many people complain when they start getting their san juans

dim hamlet Aug 1, 2019, 3:19 AM

#

Once again the translation team dabbed on every players with no hesitation. And I thought they were seriously listening to our feedback.

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

they can't even have a consistent localization

dim hamlet Aug 1, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

Apparently its not good to insert jp honorific but semi to non related language is fine. I wonder if they actually hate this game.

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 3:32 AM

#

and that's not even going into account how they left a pretty sexist remark (calling Bismarck a male) in the game in the first place. The whole historical context on as to why her captain called her a male is because he thought that a ship as magnificent as the Bismarck could not be a female. It's pretty baffling

south sequoia Aug 1, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

@dim hamlet @stiff orbit Hi guys, I just want to ask a quick question. How serious are you two about providing feedback on localisation?

The issue with feedback is that the staff are going to get varied feedback on the game. Some people will like it. Some people will hate it. This means that ultimately, people who feel in the minority may be sidelined in order to cater to the playerbase at large.

If you feel there are substantial issues with the localisation, you're going to need to be showing empirical proof that there are widespread issues with it - to the point that a significant portion of the playerbase are providing negative feedback. So far, from personal observations on the translation issue, that does not seem to be the case.

I would recommend sampling the greater playerbase at large - not just Discord communities, but also on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook groups, or the various gaming forums on which AL is discussed extensively.

It may also help if you engaged your own CN translators to compare the script on CN to the localisation on the EN client to denonstrate inconsistencies in translation.

south sequoia Aug 1, 2019, 3:56 AM

#

Pretty much all feedback provided to this channel is seen by the staff. It's their server, after all, and they are in this channel. But if you wish for your feedback to stand out and be more convincing, providing hard data will go a long way towards that.

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 3:58 AM

#

we literally posted what was wrong. How can you consistently localize and translate lines when you have one ship having what looks like google translate tier spanish and another with out of place french, while another ship with filipino origin not having any filipino lines? the consistency is honestly baffling.

south sequoia Aug 1, 2019, 3:58 AM

#

@stiff orbit, I'd like to highlight this paragraph again.

📎 Screenshot_20190801-1158172.png

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

We are literally pointing out inconsistencies in the localization, this has literally nothing to do with playerbase appeal

south sequoia Aug 1, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

It has everything to do with playerbase appeal when some players respond positively to the inconsistency (as I've seen on some Facebook groups - reddit isn't really talking about it), while others respond negatively. The inconsistency exists, sure. But you have to demonstrate that the inconsistency has a negative effect on the playerbase in terms of appeal.

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

Since you guys are not directly translation what exactly is on the CN/JP scripts, it is a localization. This has literally nothing to do with playerbase appeal

#

Are you defending inconsistencies and bad localization just because not enough people are complaining?

#

that's pretty bad PR

celest abyss Aug 1, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

I'm not very fluent in Spanish, but I'd like to point out that quietas is the adjective form
Maybe ¡Las manos quietas! to ¡Calme tus manos! ?
Sorry for the poor Spanish - like I said, I'm not fluent, but I'm pretty sure that's supposed to read as something like "still your hands" so adjective would be wrong

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

Calme tus manos would be better

south sequoia Aug 1, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

Take the purifier text localisations for example - there are both positive and negative reactions to the inconsistency between the CN and EN scripts. However, if a lot more people are responding positively to it, it's not an issue. Critical information is still being translated properly, but the stylised approach has increased the appeal of the game overall when people respond positively to the localisation choice.

I'm not really sure where people liking the way things are localised translates to bad PR, to be honest.

dim hamlet Aug 1, 2019, 4:05 AM

#

Thats ridiculous since you are basically asking player to do an analysis on your business, which is something that supposed to be done by the company itself.
Lets just remember about the Bismark event when players already complained about how bad the translation was, to the point Yostar staff had to speak up about the issue and promise it would be fixed. But so far everything has been staying the same, translation team still refuses to respect players request about keeping line the same as it originally is instead of adding unnecessary stuffs just for the sake of making meme.
At this point if the team just dont want to listen to feedback then they should straight up say so instead of using the same "most of our feedback were positive" excuse instead.

celest abyss Aug 1, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

Woops, thanks for pointing out I missed the plural on "tus" that should have been there

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

It is because you guys are not even consistent on the localization. It is bad PR because you guys keep localizing wrong over and over, and unless you guys get an uproar you will not fix it. It is bad PR because it is lazy, as if you guys don't care enough to do a good job

#

I don't know why I even bother posting feedback since frankly, the localization team does not want to do a good job

faint hinge Aug 1, 2019, 4:08 AM

#

Your feedback is noted, but like there's pretty much 99.9% adherence by word count to one or the other scripts, if not both. When people complain about "bad localization" it's usually over a fluff addition that they disapprove of, or some specific word choice that they disagree with (usually without taking the time to understand it, just on the basis that it's different from what it says in JP)

#

I will be frank - there are tremendous inconsistencies between the CN/JP texts. Compare the CN text of this event to the JP version

#

It's practically a different story

celest abyss Aug 1, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

EN is translated from CN iirc
If you want it to be completely true to the original, that's CN

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

And its still different from CN

celest abyss Aug 1, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

But yeah I hope they look into the grammar on that line, because that's not correct grammar if it's supposed to be her telling commander to knock it off

faint hinge Aug 1, 2019, 4:10 AM

I agree that SJ was not handled properly and will make sure that everyone is re-familiarized with our longstanding TL protocols

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:10 AM

The game is not even close to must of the stuff from CN, otherwise Purifier would not be a memer, and San Juan wouldn't be talking spanish

faint hinge Aug 1, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

That's a false statement though

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

which one is false?

celest abyss Aug 1, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

I'm noting a lot of people who complain about localisation relate it to JP when that's not even the version translated from

south sequoia Aug 1, 2019, 4:11 AM

I'd also like to note that JP appears to take even more liberties with the CN text in some occasions...

"Aneki" is not used as a "big sister" here, but in a kinda "boss" meaning

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

do you know the context and what he said fully in that line? Do you really know the reason he called Bismarck male? If you guys are actually defending a pretty sexist remark of one quote from her captain in order to cater to whatever agenda you guys have. It is pretty wrong. Also @faint hinge , Aneki apparently is Lord now?

minor robin Aug 1, 2019, 4:18 AM

#

Are you confusing Bismarck's captain with u-556's captain here?

faint hinge Aug 1, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

I've already made a statement about this before. The historical reference, unfortunate as you might think it is, is worth alluding to. U-556's captain's nickname was "Parzival," a reference to Percival of the Round Table. The relationship between U-556 was very much akin to lord and vassal, which the Certificate of Sponsorship caricatured in history.
Also the choice was not between "Lord" and "Big Sister," it was between "Lord" and omitting the honorific as per our normal protocol.

celest abyss Aug 1, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

" I agree that SJ was not handled properly and will make sure that everyone is re-familiarized with our longstanding TL protocols "

Because I'm dumb, could you clarify if this means you will look into the Spanish grammar?

faint hinge Aug 1, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

No, I'll be pushing to have it reverted to English along with every other instance of gratuitous non-English to better match our stance of how we handled Japanese text and honorifics

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

I'm still waiting for them to explain why SJ has spanish lines(even though CN does not have them) and why Bataan doesn't have indigenous lines. Or why Le mars has an out of place merde out of nowhere

Voicelines have French, but text doesn't, IIRC

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:22 AM

#

If they are consistent with their no -chan on the little boats and no honorifics on japanese boats, I dont know why they put different languages on the lines of other boats that do not have them.

#

So please, at least be consistent and revert lines to english like you guys did to most japanese honorifics

faint hinge Aug 1, 2019, 4:31 AM

#

Any characterizations/personalities reflected through the text are to be considered canon and pretty much final, even if it differs from your interpretation. Everyone has a different opinion on these things and we cannot override the work process because of certain individuals disagreeing with the interpretation

#

I just want to be clear with this

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

That's fine and all but, you can't put lines that arent even there in the first place, like Le mar's merde and San Juan's spanish

south sequoia Aug 1, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

For reference, there was more observed positive feedback about the reference to Bismarck as male for historical accuracy compared to negative feedback about localisation inconsistency. As for Centaurs Elder, I lack data on that as people were not discussing it on all the places I watch - indicating that the majority didn't find issues with it

celest abyss Aug 1, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

They said they would look into that exact thing

clear heron Aug 1, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

If you want evidence of actual notification of the TL, you could always make a formal report to belfast as said, there needs to be more to fill the trello with issues that people have been discussing in #game-feedback actually making their way there besides what has been stated above. not much has been formally reported in this manner.

faint hinge Aug 1, 2019, 4:32 AM

I already said I agree with you on that point and will push to have those fixed retroactively as well as moving forward with any other foreign ships, unless the situation is appropriate

And if it's rejected, a reason is usually noted why. typically because it's known or cannot be accepted, either for reasons clearly demonstrated ~~and rarely people reporting in an unprofessional manner~~

minor robin Aug 1, 2019, 4:38 AM

Once the report ends up on the trello, it's effectively out of our hands at that point and up to as syanda said the management

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:41 AM

I just hope he understands that posting the "just find public opinion to support your claim" on clear localization problems is pretty insulting for the person posting feedback. Considering this had nothing to do with public appeal.

clear heron Aug 1, 2019, 4:41 AM

Somewhat tangentially related to that, trello reports also have an option for community voting

I personally think the JP script is juvenile and filled with anime/manga 1-liners and loses most of the meat and descriptiveness in the CN text

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:44 AM

But you guys differ from the CN a lot..

how can you say that the JP script is juvenile and filled with one liners when you guys localized Purifier's text to oblivion

Separate topic - Alabama's tattoos. Understand that EN/JP will be getting the tattooed version of Alabama as per GT's post in #game-news. I've seen some comments from people indicating a preference for her non-tattooed art.

So @faint hinge I don't understand, you guys don't like the JP text because it is juvenile and filled with one liners, but make up your own without the "depth" you want from the CN script?

celest abyss Aug 1, 2019, 4:48 AM

@south sequoia imo that could work
Would it be limited to only people who pull her before the patch or anyone who gets her during this run of the event?

south sequoia Aug 1, 2019, 4:48 AM

Everyone who gets her, IMO

faint hinge Aug 1, 2019, 4:49 AM

That has nothing to do with it.

If you feel like something has been done improperly, report it through the system with comparisons to the CN and JP text

#

My personal opinions do not matter

south sequoia Aug 1, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

However that CN chose to do it. I assume it'd be easier programming to use the existing skin selection function rather than manually update only those who pulled her previously

tawdry hill Aug 1, 2019, 4:51 AM

#

here's a proper contribution then, why do you keep being so inconsistent with everything you do? JP is bad because it has oneliners but EN is good because it has random memes shoved in? how can you claim CN is better than JP as a defense for your translations when you don't even follow CN and instead do your own thing, sometimes completely changing scenes turning them into your own fanfiction?

faint hinge Aug 1, 2019, 4:51 AM

#

That's your opinion

stiff orbit Aug 1, 2019, 4:51 AM

#

So, you guys generally don't like the JP script since you guys refused to use japanese honorifics and is filled with "memes", but make up your own in the localization while also changing and going against the whole "honorifics" thing for other non-japanese languages?

I see that it's pointless to even argue, I just hope that what Jif said about putting the complaint on the table works out.

faint hinge Aug 1, 2019, 4:51 AM

velvet adder Aug 1, 2019, 6:24 AM

#

They rejected wishes/proposals of voiced(loud? not sure what the correct term was) minority on multiple occasions already. Also, unless a developer comes out and presents their decision directly to us, nothing said by moderation ultimately matters, as seen in last case when GTRacer had to step in and throw wall of text at people to somewhat calm them down at the time. Wall of text which was hardly anything but fluff but that's besides the point.

velvet adder Aug 1, 2019, 7:12 AM

#

I genuinely hate the (overuse of) localization. Pic related is something I sent to GTRacer but it seems like he didn't care since that one time he had a long weekend. Using localization for weird dialects is fine but everything else is not.

Quick question, this doesn't really impede gameplay and I don't know if it was there before, was the "chance of encounter: insert level" in SOS maps before this patch? It doesn't actually make ambushes/airstrikes happen so it just caps at "danger" without consequence but I could've sworn it just wasn't in those maps before.

sage cliff Aug 1, 2019, 9:33 AM

#

yeah i noticed this change too, im 100% sure sos maps had no annoying ambushes before...

harsh oasis Aug 1, 2019, 9:40 AM

Well the ambushes don't actually happen, it's just the line of text in the top left is there

Don't you actually have another week after the event map ended to claim the border? so basically you have around 11 days to get her to MLB if I'm not mistaken

Bismarck event chat border warded for fully limit break every event ship was already bad, since it had 2 SSR, 3 SR (Elites) and 1 Rare.
But this event make it even worse, 3 SSR, meaning if you dont get dupes from the gacha you will need 12 Purins.
But there's no realiable way to get 12 Purins in the event duration, meaning if you dint had some saved you will to either keep rolling the gacha for dupes or give up on getting the chat border.
The chat border should only require you to have all ships and at most ask for you to level-up them to 70, not to limit break.
Im not even gonna talk about the gold you would require to max lb the 3 SSR's and the others... the max lb requeriment is just bad.

It's possible to have a event with a story to introduce the Bearn ? for have more french boat in back line ? "At the French declaration of war against Germany on 3 September 1939, Béarn was assigned to the Force de Raid, under the command of Admiral Gensoul, along with the battleships Dunkerque and Strasbourg, three light cruisers, and eight destroyers. A month later, the carrier was tasked with hunting down the German cruiser Admiral Graf Spee, as part of an immense effort to destroy the commerce raider. At this time, she and Dunkerque served as the core of Force L, and along with three light cruisers, were tasked with searching the West Indies for Admiral Graf Spee "

teal cave Aug 1, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

I could easily oath everyone or even grind them to "100" if the lb was not a requeriment to uncap levels.
But asking for Purins while the game roughly gives one per week is stupid.
Ive been seriously annoyed be that requeriment since Bismarck event, and expected it to change since it received quite the number of complains.
Guess im not happy with how things are going.

brisk pecan Aug 1, 2019, 12:21 PM

brisk pecan Aug 1, 2019, 12:23 PM

Technically speaking, yes, but they ruled out taking that particular type of feedback a while ago, I presume because they've already got basically the next 6 months worth of content in the pipeline already anyway.

#

Eh. That's a really rough topic to discuss as that's the game's main income (aside from skin purchases). So there isn't too much room for discussion as to how much of a balancing act it can be w/ making money and making it accessible for players to feel the need to buy them.

gritty belfry Aug 1, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

i thought if its lower the cost, more ppl will feel better when purchasing them, right now most everyone says even cube buying is not worth, only buy skins and docks. so if cube cost and whatever else is lower abit, ppl feel more inclined to spend in more areas, so dev actually makes money too

#

i know the EN has not much to say, and im not expecting result either but voicing it out to CN so they know tahts what EN is thinking,

Agree with Rhadnar btw. I'm not sure I can get the chat border this time.. 12 purins are really too much for 21 days. You can shorten it by 8 if you're EXTREMELY lucky getting Cavalla 4 times on drop but all these purins for the two others that, if you're lucky can get both? Didn't have hope to get all the purins needed

icy anchor Aug 1, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

Maybe devs could consider adding wisdom cubes in the event milestone rewards or some other type of wisdom cubes that are only effective for that event's limited build. Not sure if it's needed though

#

Or some limited stock sale on wisdom cubes that refreshes once an event/week or something

gritty belfry Aug 1, 2019, 4:50 PM

basically, any improvement/change will be great, i wonder if can taken efect before ep 1 is out, there are 5 eps total so imagine no breaks between them. cubes and golds gonna dry worse than a desert

velvet adder Aug 1, 2019, 6:20 PM

Dont think of those "episodes" as proper events. We'll have confirmed Sandy retro and whatever the other girls was, they did have events in JP/CN but only very insignificant ones. Think one map, 3 stages at most with no gacha ships

gritty belfry Aug 1, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

at this point, i rather they skip 1 ep apart for breaks, like say ep 0 2 4 has gacha ships, then the other 2 are just lala land whaterver for fun (break / cube recovery time)

icy anchor Aug 1, 2019, 7:34 PM

I'm fairly sure they're going to keep it playable

shy pond Aug 1, 2019, 8:01 PM

I will also voice my concern with thestupid requirement, which was clearly made for CN and JP. in EN there is in way in hell to LB all the SSRs within 3 weeks together with certain onther things. Hell, I am saying this despite the fact that I do have Balti at LB2. Because that is only 1/6 the bulins necessary. Even with merit and exchange medals stocked up I would be hard-pressed to LB THREE SR ships within a month if a build event was proceeding

#

That being said, I do have an alternate suggestion for EN: Since the servers are less than 1yr old and thus buildups of resources pre-events are more difficult as new content is going in at an astounding rate, I suggest the following: Replacing PR2 blueprints with wisdom cubes (1:1 switch) during event exchanges. This would help to significantly alleviate the drain put on using the cubes with events in quick succession where they have limited builds and/or new ships had been released. Additionally, for each mussing reward there should be another item added instead with the event shop. Reducing the border requirement in one of the two following ways: Either require the ship to reach lvl. 75 instead of MLB, or simply make it a semi-permanent thing, prolonging the time in which said goals are to be obtained extensively

rare jay Aug 1, 2019, 8:17 PM

#

I do have to ask just regarding your one point about comparing us to JP/CN: how exactly do they have it easier? If anything, they have it worse since they have Meowficers which are even more of a sink. We've been having sync'd updates with them for past few months so all content we've gotten, they've gotten (baring W12 but that's permanent content so it doesn't really count)

I don't know if it would be its own suggestion, or would just be the same as ( https://trello.com/c/66aOCAwy/642-allow-retreat-and-escape-from-all-nodes ) but feel that if the navigation of a fleet will cause it to go over a submerged submarine, especially if you aren't able to fight it at all, then the fleet really needs the option to escape from that fight, rather than retreating. It already paid the 'price' as well of getting % damage taken, but it's unfortunate if the fleet has no chance to survive for 2 minutes of torpedo striking.

Yeah, I'd say it's still the same type of suggestion. But I'll get your example from this event put onto the card to reinforce the idea of it. Especially for enemy sub units

formal oyster Aug 2, 2019, 3:11 AM

#

As a positive feedback, I would like to say that what has been done with this event is really really nice. Plot development asides (even though it's good to see some real development in the story, not just shards here and there), I really liked the alternative stages that give a little bonus even if it's a one time thing, more stuff and more cutscenes is always nice and it was done in a clever way imo.
Really liked the defensive approach of the early maps as well, really refreshing, and even better when you get bonus currency for performing well, that's really welcomed.
Some improvements could still be made, like making the enemy subs actually move because right now they're not really a threat, and also I didn't see any of those features that were presented in the event intro, like ammunition caches or repair yards (maybe it's in the SP I'm not there yet ).
For the border exchange requirements as well, max limit breaking all event ships still isn't really interesting to do and does not feel as rewarding in my opinion, on top of being frustrating if you weren't prepared and also being very costly.

But overall, great event, I knew something good was coming and I wasn't disappointed. It's those kind of events that manage to bring something refreshing while still keeping the standard Azur Lane experience that makes and keeps that game so enjoyable. Keep it up AkagaHug

@rare jay Sorry for my late response. But here is my point: I am talking about new ships, etc. With events being first runs too, heavily draining cubes, etc. EN server is still catching up, thus the fact that players in JP/CN had longer to stock-up between content before is meaningful as EN has been known for the resource shortages. Furthermore, just removing exchange shop items instead of switching them for something seems really unfair

I really dislike how Isokaze was released so far away from The Return of the War God event. Her skill "Accompanying Wind" has now been unusable for more than half a year, since we still do not have Hamakze. I also don't get what the point of adding her to the permanent build pool is, when there is still no sign of the event happening in the near future.

void schooner Aug 2, 2019, 12:09 PM

#

People still might want her anyway?

ashen compass Aug 2, 2019, 12:16 PM

#

Sure, there will always be people who want a character, regardless of their usability. But my point is that since you still can't get Hamakaze and it doesn't look like she will be available for a long while, I don't see the reason why Isokaze was added to the build pool.

rare jay Aug 2, 2019, 12:21 PM

#

B/c she was a monthly login ship and monthly login ships are always slowly added to the permanent build pool

#

B/c, as Afro said, there are some people who might still want her and they weren't playing at the time she was initially given for free. Or perhaps they're a collector and want her to fill out that percentage

#

@shy pond Sorry for the delayed response. I mean, we've been having sync'd events w/ JP and CN so we're moving at the same pace as them right now. And them having re-runs can actually be worse for some players, b/c if they weren't around for the initial run, they'll have even more ships that they have to roll for and spend more cubes. But that's beyond the point of your original post: I'm positively sure the devs are aware of the constraint of the border requirements and we are going to bring up the fact about simply replacing items w/in the shop instead of completely omitting them. Unfortunately we can't guarantee anything (especially for the shop one) but your concerns are definitely noted.

crimson void Aug 2, 2019, 12:33 PM

#

Im not sure if it belong in this channel but the EX stage is just outright unfair and impossible. Every attack pattern has those small bullets which spray randomly everywhere which pretty much guarantees that your vanguard WILL get hit no matter how much you dodge. Not to mention that her bullets travel at such a fast speed that dodging them in the first place is already difficult as it is.

rare jay Aug 2, 2019, 12:37 PM

#

I highly doubt it's impossible quite honestly. There are a lot of things that factor into how well you can do and the survivability of your ships. And I'm sure there are plenty of plenty in this server (specifically in #gameplay-help) who have beat the stage and are able to help you in regards to beating it

crimson void Aug 2, 2019, 12:40 PM

#

Its probably too early to tell but last I checked, no one was able to clear the EX stage in avrora since there is not even a single score on the leaderboards

ashen compass Aug 2, 2019, 12:45 PM

#

@rare jay Okay, forget about Isokaze being added to the build pool and that there will always be people who want any character. I am focusing on her skill being unusable since we do not yet have the character, Hamakaze, from The Return of the War God event. It is not like with fx. Köln's retrofit where if you start the game now can't use her ASW skill, because you missed the event where the equipment could be acquired. No, with Isokaze nobody on EN can use her skill because Hamakaze has not yet been available. Had the event been run maybe up until a month after Isokaze was first introduced, I wouldn't have had a problem with it, but now it has been more than half a year without the event.

rare jay Aug 2, 2019, 12:54 PM

@crimson void hm...you're right about Avrora. Unfortunately I can't tell for the other servers. Its probably still s bit too soon to say its impossible but if it truly is, I'm positive itll be changed.
@ashen compass I'm sorry its caused you this frustration and I understand but we can't do anything regarding the content release schedule as the devs already have a plan laid out and we've been asked to not take feedback regarding it

Would it be possible to have "spending gems" also covered by the secondary passcode feature?

Some ships clearly aren't living up to rarity, and are FAR too off of any idea of a retrofit that they really should just be buffed. Izumo I brought up some time ago cause for research she clearly wasn't worth it. She was on the notes to be buffed thankfully last I checked. Ships like Glorious who has a bad stat line and crappy plane count need to be buffed. She needs 1 more plane to compete in her launch and needs higher stats to garner her SR rating in the game. Please consider buffing her. I will take a look at some others, but I wont complain about ships like Prinz who hits like a wet noodle cause I have a good feeling she will see a retrofit sooner or later, similar to other under powered ships that shipped at or close to launch. I also wanted to give feedback on the event briefly. I know this event is quite experimental and tries to do new things, but I find it an issue when D3 is not worth farming and C2 is significantly more worth farming. I think every event before has had an oil to point (to time) ratio when farming the final map (usually D3/D4) that outweighs all the other maps. Due to the level increase of the enemies and now really high reqs, the oil cost for farming D3 is really bad. You can't just throw in a lower amount of 120 ships that can handle the higher level enemies. You have to throw in at least 8-9 ships to do the map. The resulting oil cost is really bad. I am farming Neptune exp, but even with the high level frontline I am running, I still have to add to the backline. I also have the run the extra DD slot to meet evasion requirements. That said, I am just gonna farm C2 and, for the first time, it is more worth it for me to clear normal if I wanna try and get Cavalla to drop at B3 instead of wasting oil on D3. I like the challenge from the level increase, but the requirements on hard mode for this event need tuning so myself and other players can efficiently farm it.

#

I would like to touch on two more issues, sub warfare should involve subs attacking other subs. This happened a lot historically and nobody gets why there isn't any sub on sub gameplay. I tried this event with blue gear, and struggled against the earliest sub fleets on hard mode. Most players feel they weren't prepared from the conversations I have had. I only had blue gear, but some stated it still felt like to effectively clear sub fleets you need to have a substantial amount of depth charges equipped. It would help if subs weren't as hard to combat at times, and it would help if we could use subs to beat subs since I have access to subs that even with light gear could still do a lot more than depth charges. The next issue I see is how guns work, especially BB guns. Bismarck has 8 guns, but only fires 6 because that is how the guns work. It would be great if we could tweak it so she fires another 2 shots, but loses out on some reload. Stuff like 3x3 from the So Dak class makes sense since they had 3 guns each on 3 main guns. I have asked about adjustable spreads before for ship guns pertaining to CA/CL/DD guns, but I don't think I asked about shot count.

velvet adder Aug 3, 2019, 12:22 PM

#

Players would have been prepared, had they done SOS missions - which they willfully ignored, after being told several times that subs were useful and literal free damage for them
They have no right to complain, they brought it on themselves WarShrug

That aside, do you even need depth charges? Your fleet must be pretty bad to have trouble with subs, considering I'm not even mounting sonars or charges - avoiding the subs is enough, and if by poor chance I get caught out of position Phoenix or Minneapolis can just sit there and wait till the thing surfaces

#

Also, D3 can be handled with a 1:1 fleet for mobs; just grab a Monarch and a Minneapolis/Phoenix, sit back and enjoy the fireworks, simple as that, but if a Monarch is not forthcoming you can grab some nasty fuckoff carrier like, I don't know, Enterprise? Centaur? IJN girls? You have a lot of choice here, really
If you need to fill the requirements, 0LB Cassin and Downes exist for that reaso

proper hedge Aug 3, 2019, 12:25 PM

#

even a +6 blue depth charge would work provided you have a strong asw unit

also for next event pls don't ask for 850+ eva and lock 3 available slots to cl/ca

minor robin Aug 3, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

I'll add a card to buff glorious later
This "level" we're now seeing in events, is the exact same level JP/CN has been having for ages, it's nothing ridiculous considering the content we already have. The main issue of this event D maps are the CV lock on both fleets as well as stat requirements that are hard to achieve with the locked slots (eva with 2 CL and CA lock). I will check if I can add a card on this, (the requirements and class locks being difficult to meet without running huge fleets)
This is somewhat true in the context of ww2, but there's a very VERY big catch you missed. Such cases of subs attacking other subs involved attacking subs that were already surfaced which is possible in AL once they surface (i.e sub sirens and sub bosses surfacing after 2 minutes have passed). There is only ONE recorded case of a submarine successfully sinking another submarine at periscope depth (submerged) during ww2. That is the case of HMS Venturer sinking U-864. This was done thru manual computation that became the basis for modern anti-submarine torpedoes today. Expecting ANY submarine in AL with the exception of HMS Venturer would be EXTREMELY inaccurate to how it was during ww2. So this did not "happen a lot historically". At least not in the sense you're thinking of.

velvet adder Aug 3, 2019, 1:37 PM

Correction about the 1:1 D3, I forgot about the CV tax (which I filled with a 0LB CV anyway)

minor robin Aug 3, 2019, 1:44 PM

#

Players were warned about 2 weeks in advance about the presence of enemy submarines in this event (See https://twitter.com/AzurLane_EN/status/1151694644159209473). The addition of the submarine dailies would have made it even easier to gather ASW materials. Not to mention the sub/asw gear boxes in the medal shop. As for the submarine sirens and bosses, they were no doubt more challenging, and there maybe a case for cutting their HP. However it is possible to demolish each of them in under 30s should you just turn off auto and let them sit above the sub for that time, with little more than a single DD with depth charge and sonar. If they somehow failed to prepare for the submarines after the tweet, then that's more of negligence on the player's part and not the gameplay being unfairly difficult.
While that would be more accurate to real life, not only does it serve no real benefit to the game but it makes the game more confusing. No reason to add it if it serves no benefit.

#

@eternal bear please read the above^

vivid igloo Aug 3, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

I have feedback, that probably doesn't matter for this event, but would make future events slightly less confusing. If there are bonus maps (the "S" chapters in this event) I think it would be less confusing for them to have separate node (or whatever they are called) since a lot of people think progress on them counts towards maps that appear in the same spot. Then either make them disappear or mark as complete once the map is done, so people know what they have done. The star requirement being visible while starting them (ie you saw A2 requirements for stars while starting AS1) is another thing that shouldn't be visible, since it also invites confusion.

eternal bear Aug 3, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

First of all, thank you for the Glorious card and I will inspect other ships and bring any up that could use adjusting to match their rarity. I'll give you the history on the subs. Next, the level of the event maps isn't the whole issue. In fact, it isn't the issue much at all compared to the requirements. You can't make it more efficient than a normal map which you could do with literally every other event, so while I will withdraw my level claims, that point stands. I think @proper hedge makes a good point that locking slots to ships that don't provide best tier evasion when you require a lot of it makes it tough to form economically sound fleets for farming. I accept we had SOS missions, and I didn't exactly have the time to do them, but not trying to make time is on me and others. You can avoid subs this event, which is nice. They just sit in place and don't go anywhere disappearing trying to fool you into thinking nothing is there. I would ask if this is a bug. I never had a sub girl move from her spawn and I don't know if they are supposed to or not, so that could be something to check out. I may just not know how to properly deal with sub fleets and will head to #gameplay-help for that one. Sorry for those complaints.

Look at the bottom 2 commissions. They both require at least 1 Lvl 100 ship. The thing is I only have gotten a ship to 100 a few hours ago and one of those commissions appeared even before that. Now there's two of them. My suggestion is the game should identify the players having those requirements so they can do the commission. I can't have my one lvl 100 ship do all those commissions since I use it in my fleet. (or is there a way to skip commissions that I'm not aware of?)

rare jay Aug 3, 2019, 4:13 PM

Unfortunetly there is not a way to reload/refresh the commissions. But we do have two suggestions that would solve that issue for players. The first being that the game should recongnize the number of LVL 100s ships and act accordingly w/ those awakening commissions. The second being the ability to refresh the commissions page so that you can reroll them if you don't like them or not able to do them

velvet adder Aug 3, 2019, 4:20 PM

#

Auto-battle already exists, if you are farming a stage, there's no real reason why which slot u walk to would matter, since your fleet is so much stronger than the map you farm. Nobody really likes grinding, so leaving it on auto-walk is better than having to wait 10 seconds or something to press another square that will get cleared in another 10 seconds, while you do stuff like watch youtube or play another game. Having a streamer play the game is not the same in any way whatsoever, because on actual maps you can't let AI suicide, but on farming maps your decisions don't matter, so it would be beneficial to just remove the irrelevant useless decisions.

That is fine. My poor word selection was the issue initially. I think someone else better worded it. Levels aren’t the issue at all. If you properly level a fleet you should be fine for it.

Limit Breaking San Juan to max in 5-6 days seems tough for lower level players. Mostly talking about those who have resources to do it given a bit more time, but not me since I am very endgame. I can usually get girls from 1 to 70 in that amount of time provided I pay good attention to dorm etc. Gonna give it a try myself and it will be a good test of how I can bide time and make sure I am keeping up with leveling her daily, but if I somehow struggle, I can imagine many others will too. That said if others do struggle, reducing the rewards to 7 days total for a 2 week event might be something that helps people out. It is nice you can control how you get the rest of the girls, but it is tough for some when one shows up really late due to time gating. **Edit: if the exchange period for it lasts till the 21st and you can limit break until then, this statement is quite invalid and please disregard. Anyone with proper resources and time should be able to get her to 70 and MLB with bulis by then.

cursive horizon Aug 4, 2019, 11:18 AM

I have no idea how to really make this suggestion, but something that's been gnawing at me for a good few months is that events often incorporate previous events - which is great - but it also means that a lot of players are left scratching their heads as to what's being talked about. I wish we could have a way of viewing the event stories without getting the event rewards, even if that means having to clear some boss fights or something.

For instance, I discovered to my horror that I somehow missed 2 event clips from Moonlit Overture (which were probably Play Until Occurs) and now I'm basically screwed until that event maybe returns someday a year or two from now. I joined the game in February and was just barely able to scrape through Winter Crown so at least I knew who Tirpitz was and knew about the Singularity, but other stuff I wind up having to look up and that detracts from the overall experience of the game, I feel.

which they basically 'off' events, put the ships from the event in the normal build pool, and add the event maps to an event archive thingie, where you can run through events just to open up their stories n stuff, at all times, tho you just get 2 charges a day for it @cursive horizon
and well even in jp it only got a few events right now

cursive horizon Aug 4, 2019, 11:35 AM

That'd be something nice to have down the road. I've used the wiki to read up on a couple of events, but it's nowhere near as engaging just reading it like a script. It's certainly useful, though, and I'm grateful for how comprehensive the wiki is.

@eternal bear we actually have about 13 days to get San Juan at mlb, provided you get her at the 9th. The banner exchange closes at 21st

Ok then as stated in the edit that can be disregarded since we have so long to get her and assuming the same with the little picture frame.

shell bramble Aug 4, 2019, 2:26 PM

Yeah, when they did the picture frame for Scherzo it was originally 2 weeks, but after a lot of response they made the exchange period last a week longer than the event itself, and they seem to have retained that behavior for this one from the start

naive cobalt Aug 4, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

no, it was an error.
all exchange missions suppose to last for +1 week after main event ends

Ahh, didn't realize they originally intended it to last 3 weeks

eternal bear Aug 4, 2019, 5:06 PM

I have a suggestion to make when I first started this game the Victorious event was going on but sadly I was unable to do most of the missions is it possible for new players to get some sort of temporary ships or missions scale down to player during these events

cursive horizon Aug 4, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

The rapid rise in level of event missions was why I struggled so badly when I started playing. It took me almost a week just to scrape my default team up high enough to make it through the first mission of Winter Crown, and I only beat the event story (couldn't even touch hard mode) within a day or two of it ending. I was basically grinding constantly the entire time, trying to get strong enough to get through it. I was fortunate enough that I had the time to do so, I wouldn't be able to do that now.

Idk if something like this has been asked already but it'd be awesome if we could choose which voice files we download rather than just having all, that way we could just have the voice files of the ships in our main fleet, or the ones we oathed, etc. Would be a great boon for those with limited disk space

What about a new excercise UI before the battle of the fleets. The enemy's fleet cards are lined up on top, then a VS on the middle, then the player's fleet cards on the bottom. This can be the screen before the dock or the loading screen after confirming the battle.

hasty bobcat Aug 5, 2019, 11:09 AM

#

I am unsure how much it's been mentioned but the triple CV requirement have pretty much ruined the event for me it makes farming any D map a really ugly prospect especially in my current situation where I was trying to grind exp for Izumo.

minor robin Aug 5, 2019, 11:10 AM

#

As much as the complaint is valid, the reasoning isn't

hasty bobcat Aug 5, 2019, 11:11 AM

#

Well I mean I am not just complaining because of Izumo

minor robin Aug 5, 2019, 11:11 AM

#

The issue most players have with this event is that it's asking for FP when there's CV lock

#

or asking for eva with 2 CL and a CA lock

hasty bobcat Aug 5, 2019, 11:11 AM

#

It just shouldn't have that lack of variety in the locks ever

#

I was also going to mention the stats but that didn't bother me directly outside of the fact that it makes it an impossibility to actually farm D maps at a reasonable oil cost

formal oyster Aug 5, 2019, 12:16 PM

#

I feel like hard mode should have one of the requirements ( fleet slot requirement or stats requirement ) but not both, that often lead to situations like this. Keep the double requirements for SP or EX, stuff that should be more difficult and that is not a farming ground.

velvet adder Aug 5, 2019, 12:20 PM

#

Locks in general are kinda asinine concept imo. They could be used in entertaining ways, like making players field only specific ship type or natuonality across the board. Like in current event you would be only able to use USS ships so it fits the narrative. You couldn't make it mandatory tho, perhaps just as a way to get more rewards than normally.

turbid loom Aug 5, 2019, 12:38 PM

#

the locks should be in place until the threat level is brought down to 0, that way they can be "challenging" and serve to restrict fleet comps but also still allow actual farming of the event

cursive plank Aug 5, 2019, 1:03 PM

Nationality lock +1

formal oyster Aug 5, 2019, 1:06 PM

#

As an optional feature that would give more xp/rewards ? I say yes.

rare jay Aug 5, 2019, 1:10 PM

#

I wouldn't mind that suggestion, but as said it'd have to be optional. You can't force players to use a specific nationality as they might not have them leveled up or have good ships from that nation due to missing an event. But for a bonus, it's a nice idea

#

Such as, if you locked it to KMS ships, that'd be a horrible nightmare for newer players as they might only have ships from Bisco event. But that's just an example

velvet adder Aug 5, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

It also shouldn't give too much rewards or they shouldn't be too valuable. For example, something absurd like cubes. This would make lower level/newer players feel bad about the whole thing. Just more gold or event specific points would suffice.

formal oyster Aug 5, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

Yeah of course, just more currency is enough. Maybe a slight buff on xp too, that would give a little help to farm the faction bonuses.

velvet adder Aug 5, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

Customer who feels bad about a product is a customer who doesn't pay/support it. It would be necessary to make it enticing enough to make people think "wow, can't wait till i'll be able to field all those ships I don't have" but not overbearing to the point they start to think "wow, this is bullshit, I'll never get all those ships, guess no bonus rewards for me"

Event bonus for nation specific ships

Have an optional lock for players that forces them use only a specific nationality of ships (ex: using Eagle Unions ships in Ashen Simucast). Doing these locked requirements would yield a bonus to the player for adhering to them(such as a slight bonus to event points) but the...

velvet adder Aug 5, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

This could be achieved by either making ship requirements not too over the top (for example, only Frontline needs to have ships from one specific nation) and rewards not too big to make it feel necessary to fulfill the requirements to experience entirety of the event content

#

Ideally, a sweet spot would need to be reached when experienced players have a reason to use all those ships they neglected for a long time and newer players to suddenly change focus towards those ships. For example, experienced player has already maxed kms frontline, Roon and Leipzig retro (is it even in EN? Dunno) including. With bonus difficulty level that places nation lock on kms frontlines, that player can just throw those strong ships and dash through the stages as he normally would without the nation lock. Newer players instead could use the same ships (Roon but still worked on and Leipzig without max level and retro) in couple of the stages, getting bonus rewards from them and then continuing normally on normal stages with normal ships.

#

This would require the bonus rewards to be flat throughout all stages, not precentage ones. Flat +100 points is much better for new player than +20% of 100 points he/she normally gets

#

Old players wouldn't care either way because this +20% would very rarely exceed those 100 points even in later stages (only SP stages if I do my math correctly would give more than 100 bonus points if 20% buff was applied)

#

Ultimately it just gives players insentive to use ships other than Phoenix and Portland which always get spammed during events while dodging obnoxious statistic requirements which only make people annoyed.

#

Stat requirements should be in my opinion removed altogether and instead replaced with something like we just discussed, something that's not a requirement but a bonus for commanders who want to try something new.

#

Enemy levels are enough of a blockade for new players already. Stat requirements on top of that are just obnoxious

balmy moth Aug 5, 2019, 1:36 PM

#

It'd be nice to filter ships by affinity as well

rare jay Aug 5, 2019, 1:45 PM

#

Well w/ the stat requirements, that's more of an attempt to make sure players don't use just the same fleets over and over while also providing some form of challenge.
As for the filtering, it's been suggested before in our compilation filter card. Here it is for reference: https://trello.com/c/MJEr9onC/420-additional-filters

formal oyster Aug 5, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

But wouldn't it be nicer to encourage players to use different fleets rather than force them to do so ? Especially when current format tend to not be ideal when stats and slots requirements aren't consistent with one another. ( And it's not the first time it happens )
Even stats requirements by itself is kinda frustrating cost-wise. Sometimes I'm forced to use a fleet of maybe 4 ships to meet the requirements when I could easily do the stage with just 2 ships. It's just a plain and simple waste of oil.

rare jay Aug 5, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

Well I got the idea added on to the previous card as an alternative to the current restrictions. As simply removing all restrictions and having nothing would seemingly go against the idea for hard mode. But the idea has been noted down.

Not sure if this is the proper place to ask.

I read West Virginia's quotes on the wiki and assuming they are accurate, West Virginia's lines are borked, at least the Chinese version. She mentions wearing/removing glasses twice. She's not wearing any glasses. Well, her original art is. Heck, her entire unit quotes (and implied personality) match her original design but is completely at odds with her new design.

Is her actual JP VA voice lines different?

faint hinge Aug 5, 2019, 5:10 PM

the JP voiced lines are sometimes completely different from the CN version, but this server is for EN-related feedback and we have no control over what the other servers do

alpine crown Aug 5, 2019, 5:16 PM

okay. nah, i was just curious whether she says her original lines in japanese and the EN subtitles just decided to have subtitles that do not match her lines.

#

Unless it's in "English Server" tab - translation on wiki is done by wiki staff

faint hinge Aug 5, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

There sometimes may be discrepancies in whether the EN text is translated from Chinese or Japanese depending on whether or not the ship was voiced at the time

#

And those same discrepancies are also present between CN and JP

#

But generally speaking EN ship lines are based upon JP voiced lines whenever possible

I really like where this game is going; gamplay- and story wise.
The latest events and gameplay changes (moving ships, gameplay in the Kizuna event, Bismarck & Takao boss fight, bossfights in world 11+) are what I want this game to focus more onto.

What I still dislike is the absurd spike in numbers, sakura ship almost being not viable in world 12 as an example, and the addition of memes to the main story / ship girls.
I mean, I get it. Purifier is smug and cocky because she'll just return no matter what, but I don't like that her personality in cranked up to eleven just because she sticks out more compared to the other sirens. EN Purifier is pretty much DMC Donte, while CN and JP Purifier are DMC3 Dante.

I'm not sure if it's what Major Spam is referring to, but I do kinda feel like the last few chapters are significantly harder than previous ones. I mean like.. If the ships are level 20, and I'm level 30, I rip them to shreds. But when the ships are 90 and I'm 100, I don't even sense a power gap. I remember during the Kizuna AI event and the one special map where the ships were like level 100 and my 110 ships were getting decimated. It feels like the enemy ships are overcompensating somehow. I haven't hit Chapter 11 yet, but 10 already feels like an awful slog. Considering we haven't gotten any story updates for chapters past 4 (I think it was 4), there's hardly any incentive for me to bother. The rewards vs oil spent don't feel any better.

#

I do realize I'm probably in a minority with regard to difficulty and such, but if it feels like a waste of time to play later stages that does seem like something's wrong.. doesn't it? This is especially noticeable when grinding for the huge sinks of EXP for PR ships. By the time I've fought through say.. Chapter 8-4 twice, I could've gone through Chapter 4-4 many more times for what feels like even better EXP growth. It also means more ships drop that I can use or recycle, and more parts for upgrades.

That's honestly why I haven't gone past Chapter 10 yet. I sorta stopped after I did 8-4, cause at the time we didn't have what we do now and 9-1 hit me like a brick. I just didn't feel like my best fleets were capable of full clearing it (for the star).

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 8:51 AM

And it is totally possible to clear every event by just grinding sub w10

since w6-9 all drop the needed t3 upgrade plates

I'm not having troubles clearing the events anymore, at least. When I first started I spent every day grinding so I could c omplete Winter Crown, that felt like an insurmountable wall until like the last few days when I managed to beat the 6th stage.

Game balancing is a very slippery slope, and given the fact the devs have actually nerfed later worlds (w12 losing 3-4 levels every map), they're watching

Oh gods, I looked at some tier lists and it was very confusing. I've admittedly kind of just stuck to the ships that catch my eye or were there during my formative months. I may have a couple dozen ships to 100, but that's been almost exclusively for an event or secretary story. My best ships are Laffey, Saratoga, Indie, Portland, Long Island, and probably Karlsruhe at this point. They're the only ones at or past 110. Anyways, thanks for hearing me out.

I mean the only grindy parts about this game are node-specific girls like Yuudachi, stupid event goals like Ryuujou and limited gear like the French DD gun, everything else SEEMS pretty generous to me in terms of gatcha standards.

Here's an example why you should make these events a bit more more accessible for new players unfortunately I cannot do this stage because I don't have enough ships on a high enough level

#

The previous short event you had NPC ships that you could use but here is where I hit a wall

naive cobalt Aug 6, 2019, 11:51 AM

#

players who cannot complete high level content probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place, there's a reason it's called "hard mode"
event points are farmable in normal mode which doesn't have requirements, or in lower level hard mode maps
the only thing you would be locked out from is a trophy and, well, that's what a trophy is - proof that you can clear this content

#

also NPC ships argument is moot - that was completely different event that works differently
it doesn't reward you with anything, there're no drops, nor exp, nor ability to use own ships in the first place
it's just interactive story cutscene

formal oyster Aug 6, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

It's still true that stats requirement has many problems to it. As we talked not so long ago, the fact that it forces you to make overkill fleets, making you waste a lot of oil. Or the fact that it's often not consistent with the slot requirement ( the two of them being mixed together makes no sense to begin with ). It may be too restrictive and not something particularly interesting as a challenge anyway, at least that's my personal feeling about it.
Maybe removing the stat requirement and focusing more on the slot one would be an interesting idea, while adding some other requirement like "use x amount of ships/submarines" ( also the suggestion about faction-specific ships ) or things like that that are not too restrictive to the point where it offers an actual interesting challenge, and not just straps as much AA radar as you can on all your ships.

I remember playing an event before where the ships in the gacha banner got a checkmark after you already got them, but it doesn't seem to be the case for recent events, can I suggest we get that feature back for future events?

Im fine with the stat/ship restriction for now as i'm still able to make my way around it with cheap fleets but this D3 is kinda ridiculous. Stat requirement and ship restriction might be not the best way to make it 'hard' but i think it's good enough if at least the stat requirement and ship restriction are relevant to each other.

Can the staff take a better look at later additions of ships?
Every ship of the Brooklyn- and Cleveland class was head on head in terms of stats, so you were able to use whatever ship you want, unless you really want to minmax. But Birmingham is just way ahead in damage, only Helena and Cleveland can compete with her when their respective skills proc.

She's still behind actual gun dps gun boat CLs though

Is that really with the AA-mode included?

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 1:08 PM

that i cannot recall

st. louis has strong dps showing herself

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 1:10 PM

I mean the Cleveland class is balanced by the dmg drop of Aa mode, but it's the complete oposite with Birmingham

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 1:10 PM

#

and birmingham loses the aa prowess instead, so it's balanced

#

and if you're looking stats wise, birmingham has the same FP as cleveland
columbia has 2 more, denver has 8 less but a 40% FP skill

#

and doing a quick check, hono has the same skill as denver with just 1 less fp than bir and 5% more gun eff

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

Guess it's not that bad

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

if anything, hono stands a higher chance of outdpsing bir

#

brooklyn is more of a cruiser buffer, so can't really compare, louis gets 30% fp and rld and eva

#

so it isn't really anything significant

#

admittedly, those with aa order will have their dps culled by 20% at times, but it also means they can shoot planes better

#

in fact, birmigham's evade skill was massively nerfed and given a raise in stats instead

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 1:42 PM

@naive cobalt well I could have done it but not with 9 ships or less.

It's not required to beat D3 in order to clear the shop

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

The stat requirements being rather iffy for the ship locked is understandable since this hasn't really happened before, the sheer levels needed is not however. As more and more content gets released and the more powerful ships can get, equally challenging content to keep veterans playing the game. It's not like there's no normal mode at all that more casual or newer players can't do.

I hope this game will stay with me forever and will bring smiles into lives of more and more people.
Thank you for everything u556Wave

(hope this is the right channel)

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

it doesn't matter you're locking out content for new players that's what you're basically saying. If I had money to spend I could pretty much infinitely by all the coins and oil to level up the ships but I do not have that kind of money or I will spend that kind of money

#

do you know why I don't play World of Tanks anymore because the developers ruined the whole game I tested that garbage for 8 to 12 months before release I loved it as soon.
as soon as the hype died down and monetization scheme was painfully obvious and more and more garbage was added into the game I decided to quit

#

do you know why I play old school RuneScape I'm looking forward for World of Warcraft classic it's because of these things

#

It is not "locking out" content from new players. As in any game, beginners aren't supposed to clear same content as players who have played for a long time. And if you are actually even considering buying gold for LB's, retro's etc. I really don't recommend it.

#

As in WoW, lvl 10's aren't supposed to clear raids. Same thing applies to Azur lane.

#

I can clear it with <9 ships but the game doesn't allow me to do it with a ship's because they're not strong enough according to the restrictions I know that one of fleet can clear it

#

Then you are not strong enough warShrug Being "strong" in Azur Lane includes having a lot of ships and gear to fill in hard more requirements

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

This does not count as locking out, and whaling everything will only bring you so far. Time and commitment is needed.

Just cos, new players can't clear content doesn't means it's "locked out"

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

I think that the event is not well designed and the previous events you had NPC ships that everybody could use

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

That's like saying, level 10 characters should be able to fight level 100 bosses, and if they can't it's locking out

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

now I cannot get three stars because someone decided to make a fleet restriction on a hard mode this is not ultra hard mode I know that I cannot do that but this just ridiculous

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

There isn't even a separate reward to 3 star hard mode

#

Most sane people, vets included would do that in normal mode

#

Cos it's far too oil consuming to do it in hard

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

If you can't complete hard mode, only things you will miss are the trophy and 1-2 cubes from clearing SP

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

It only counts as content locking if it's say like fgo, where event A cannot be done unless you finish like 5 chapters of story

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

I can clear hard mode but not with 3 stars because of the less than 9 ship requirements

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

There isn't a need to 3 star hard mode, so your point is moot.

#

Basically, you're arguing that late game content should be doable by players who are say only a month or 2 in... which is ridiculous

#

You can still do the event, you can still get EVERYTHING from the shop

#

The only thing a new player can't get are the rewards for SP (2 cubes, 1500 gold) and reward for clearing d3 (dorm furniture)

#

If you are willing to put the time to do it, you can clear everything in the event shop with just normal mode

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

but I just told you I want to clear with three stars but this restriction of fleet power is an obstacle

formal oyster Aug 6, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

Then there's really no purpose to having this discussion

#

There is minimal if any "locking of content" to new players in AL

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

currently I cannot do anything because I'm out of oil I would love to train my ships and limit break them and retrofit them but I don't have the resources to do so.
so the only way I could do that and clear everything is by doing those things I need a have to gems get more coins and oil

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

That's how everyone is when they start out

#

It's just that, you chose to start when the game is in it's more advanced stages

#

So this is only to be expected

#

The game cannot expect to cater to new players all the time since then it forsakes the veterans who put far more time into it

#

They want to grow and retain a player base

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

yes that's what I've been told by 4chan but in order to get some of those things that I have to do I need a hell lot of materials and commander XP is tied to upgrading my oil refinery and merchant

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

Again, I will ask.

#

Is any content locked by you not being able to do hard mode for this event?

#

Other than the aforementioned SP and D3 rewards

#

And no, "wanting to 3 star hard mode" does not count

#

Since you can get the rewards thru doing normal mode

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

I can do everything on the second map of hard mode except for the challenge of less than 9 ships that is my only problem with this whole event

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

So then there's no "locked content" for new players other than the things i mentioned above?

#

Then there's no point having this discussion anymore.

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

what I'm trying to tell you if I can do it one of my fleet is capable of clearing and the other one isn't strong enough if the developers simply just removed the fleet power requirement I could have done it

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

That's to be expected.

#

You cannot expect new players to clear late game content.

#

It is meant to be challenging.

#

So no, we are not going to do this.

What does it matter If you just remove the restriction I just find it really annoying that you do this kind of stupid thing every time

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:55 PM

#

I just came here to suggest for new players to give them NPC ships so they can participate in the event.
And to give my opinion about the less than 9 ship requirements at C9 is just halted my progress for no reason

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 2:55 PM

#

The NPC ship is a fine suggestion

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:56 PM

You can still participate. Normal mode is a thing

why are you, as a new player, so persistent on doing hard mode instead of going through normal mode first which is for new players and levelling some botes AkkoThonk
they dont really give you cookies for doing hard mode, just some dorm tem

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 2:57 PM

#

the current ships that I possess are more than capable to clear C3 with less than 9 ships

minor robin Aug 6, 2019, 2:58 PM

Then there's the limit of being a new player.

#

We are not going to remove the requirement just cos a new player finds it difficult to do hard mode.

It is not about if you can do it without the required stats. It is supposed to make you to use appropriate ships and gear to meet requirements

https://twitter.com/azurlane_staff/status/1158694203242639361 In this here clip, posted on official azur lane account, Javelin is imitating Commander's voice in an imaginative conversation between her and Commander. As can be clearly heard, she uses much more husky, manly voice when imitating Commander, very obviously implying that he's male. What is EN's reaction to that, as it clearly showcases that Commander is canonically male, instead of, let's call it "ambiguous" as it is considered in EN.

I've met a fair number of women with husky voices, including two that could've passed for men's voices attempting to imitate falsetto like in Monty Python. In fact, the voice she uses sounds.. a lot like an adult woman's voice in a surprising amount of anime.

naive cobalt Aug 6, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

she doesn't imitate "male" voice, she imitates "older" voice

#

the only point when commander's gender plays literally any part is marriage certificate and it using neutral terms affects you in no way, please drop this attempt at argument

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 3:52 PM

#

Percentage chance that the implication there is that she's meant to imitate "old" voice instead of a "male" voice is so absurdly small it becomes laughable. This type of action is in vast majority of anime shows used when attempting to imitate male voices. I'm not making arguments, I'm giving feedback by presenting actions taken by other servers and asking how will EN server react to them

So I'm to understand that it will be considered as irrelevant/not important enough, even tho it was posted on official Azur Lane twitter account, yes?

naive cobalt Aug 6, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

You're to understand this can be interpreted as any gender, and "character imitating someone" is not the be all end all argument you can make

velvet adder Aug 6, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

No, I can make many many more relevant arguments, this one is just most recent and to my knowledge not yet disregarded by EN. At least until now I suppose. I simply wanted an answer and you provided me with one, I couldn't possibly ask for more. Although I'd wish you didn't constantly harass me by implying that I'm trying to start unnecessary arguments. I've tried to stop such things from happening here enough times for you to stop attacking me over it, and while I don't understand why you continue to do so, let's stop this from continuing before someone becomes involved and gets punished by moderation.

#

Thank you for potential understanding.

#

it's not harassment, people tried to argue avout this in the past, you knew that yet still tried to push your point after being told it's not accepted

Can we have Clearing Mode make event maps more streamlined? As in, remove ship type restrictions and/or reduce or even remove total stat requirements from hard event maps, to allow using cheaper fleets? Maybe even requiring 1 less enemy fleet to destroy in order to spawn boss in normal and hard event maps? You would think Clearing Mode in event maps make farming event points faster or cost less oil, but all it does is stop enemy movements and let you move usually more than 3 spaces at a time.

shell bramble Aug 6, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

I mean, it still usually does result in faster clears / cheaper oil, because you can choose which ships to engage (such as avoiding sirens if you wanted to)

naive cobalt Aug 6, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

Also stopping enemy movement in this event means you're guaranteed to have full base health, which is extra points

But I believe we have suggestion for it regardless. I'll check and add it if we don't

I'm only 76, so it's going to be a while yet until I can even experience challenge mode. Rather than that, I'm more looking forward to divergent chessboard coming back. Much as I love this event(and the introduction of the 'Bama), I wont be getting this event's border due to a distinct drought of necessary bulins. Between needing 12 golden bulins(assuming bad luck on dupes) and 16 purple bulins(also assuming bad luck on pulls), this event's border is beyond my grasp.
As far as your cantinas problem, @formal oyster , buy a bunch of dorm food. Tis what I did! I saw the free 1k oil as 10 free dorm snacks! Bonus xp ftw!

I do that all the time, but here I won't spend 4k oil on food lol.

Ah. True. Theres the 1200 commission that is possibly the best xp/oil ratio, outside of, I think its chapter 12-something? And then theres clearing out the event's shop. Gonna need oil to blow through d3. I did that during the Iris event. Blew through...errr... 12k oil in under a day to get le Mars and le triumphant on the final day(I slacked off and hardly did the event, so i was starting from a2)

Challenge mode is fun. More modes like this one in the future would be awesome WichitaDealWithIt

I have a complaint about the reward you get from the challenge mode and to change the special reward progress first off all i wish you could get something more out of challenge mode rather than a chat border. I wish for the special reward progress for the ships to be at level 70 to claim it rather than fully limit break them all as i find that quite annoying and the reward doesn't really justify all the work you had to do to get it.

Well for the chat border, you can't make it too rewarding as it's difficult to some players and plus it's (supposed to be) locked for only players at LVL 80 or above. It's more of a simple past time, especially since it doesn't take oil, morale, or anything. It's more for bragging rights like, "Hey look at me in this chat, I can do more difficult challenges". But your feedback will be taken into account, but it won't affect this current event as it's already being run. As for the MLB ships, we are constantly collecting feedback regarding them and ideas to better them.

Something feels off with plane drop rates. Out of like 20 chests, I get like 12-15 planes.. They seem very much like the predominant drops from gear crates.

So I dont know if this is the place but I dont see a closer fit

We need a secretary randomizer select like 6 boats and it randomizes each time you log in or just rotates daily

#

It would let us actually get use out of skins I bought more then we do

Rotate secretaries automatically

"Suggestion: please have an option to shuffle secretary, ie the game sets a secretary at random from amongst my locked ships, everytime i go to the main screen. so i can love everyone equally
Edit: Maybe having an option to chose from multiple ships which would be rotated, i...

Could there be a way to disable Sub hunting animation

Definitely not liking Challenge mode. Just two rounds and I’d lost maxed Laffey, while leaving Indie and Portland almost dead. In a way, I’m glad the reward is just a chat filter, cause I don’t see myself getting any use out of Challenge Mode.

Make MVP/end battle menu similar to challenge mode

It would be cool if the mvp/end battle menu was similar to this (except it also show levels and exp of course
Damage can be on a separate tab as it is now

Did someone already suggest to make an option to disable splash art on skill activation ? That would be a thing

i was thinking for any stuff that has not unlocked in EN like the cat boxes reward, instead of eliminating it totally, maybe give it to us EN players but have it locked up so we cant use it yet, or dont highlight it(border it with black image), sry not english native speaking here, u know what i mean with black image ? so this way we r not losing out and we do not access it til its fully released? for future reference
