@solemn citrus The thing is, even at the slower pace it seems that it's still working overall

Staying behind from the start beats the purpose of still having people complain on the pacing.
minor robin
I think you're mistaking why WC was given the instant rerun
In the case of WC, there was a bug many players experienced that showed rerun characters (Sirius) appearing on the event banner
Many people assumed it meant she would appear in the event as a result
distant wadi
It seems to be planned long-term in advance roughly, and they've been slipping in extra content left and right in a way that doesn't feel like we're getting content more quickly as CN/JP did, but is
cosmic hinge
I don't think I am, it was originally promised girls like Sirius would be up in construction and when the patch notes were shown and she was missing. Her icon appearing is just one part of it.
cosmic hinge
If it was from Intern's own mouth I kinda have to take that as official unless he says, "Maybe"
winged compass
basically just cause intern said it in gen chat doesnt mean you can trust it to happen
tardy arch
no it was mainly the leaked icon that people got mad at. if the patch notes didn't mention it then it wasn't planned to appear.
minor robin
I am aware of the message intern sent, which I cannot find anymore btw
But it was the in game bug that set people off more as lfire said
Because to most, it was confirmation by the game itself
Most people weren't even aware of Intern leaking it at the time
slate monolith
Oh yeah the WC incident is why we have issues about not having certain reruns as of late now
winged compass
there ye go ender 
minor robin
At least, most of the people that came to this channel to complain
thorn musk
*game-feedback
slate monolith
More like complaint department
thorn musk
whatever floats your edgy boats
ornate basin
complaints are feedback dont be offended when we call it complaints 
its just a negative version of feedback not positive
minor robin
As for why the made the decision to not do reruns as first run anymore, I am not aware of the reason (or can't recall one of the top of my head at least), though I think it was mentioned in that letter
shy pond
@minor robin It was not stated
slate monolith
Could it be because we aren't at the level, or had certain additions needed to the rerun there @minor robin
minor robin
Cos tbh, I think there was a lot that went behind the scenes as a result of this incident
solemn citrus
the only statement about it in the recent letter is "we will adhere to our comittment to syncing servers"
minor robin
solemn citrus
which, ignoring collabs because licensing can be a bitch at times, means there are still a lot of events for us to get a hold of in the coming months. Reruns of (most) major events, various small events like Hardy, then the collabs too if we ever get them
tardy arch
WC letter for refence btw not the recent one
slate monolith
Well we are in sync with the current events that take place, but we have the issue where we haven't had certain runs on our server yet
minor robin
Assuming ariadust is referring to this from last night's letter
slate monolith
I think that's what they are doing by keeping us with the current event the other two servers are doing right now
solemn citrus
that's the only recent comment on it I've personally seen from staff, while only skimming this channel
minor robin
Tbh, my understanding is that they'll keep on what they're doing now, though it would depends on the pacing of JP/CN too
tardy arch
also i honestly don't get how people took "we're adding the war archives system so people who missed events can still play them and get something from them" as "we're doing full reruns of older events"
minor robin
Tbh war archives feature itself needs work, but let the feedback come in for that when it hits EN 
tardy arch
ya i don't get why they're adding them in one by one instead of all at once. seems kinda pointless to me
solemn citrus
in a semi-related note to all of this, it's rather annoying to see all these unobtainable characters in event scenarios (looking at you PR2 boats getting a lot of spotlight in anniversary) when EN has no idea when we'll get them, or be able to get these skins
ornate basin
as a jp player dont get me started on war archives 
minor robin
It is rather annoying, but really, it's a minor inconvenience when you get to experience events the same time as they hit JP/CN
Less of 2 evils really
solemn citrus
Which I do remember somebody asking for said skins to be available when the girls are first released since we've already been teased them in these prior events
minor robin
And they have done it in more recent cases with Ibuki for example
(rip sirius and monty skins which were earlier)
solemn citrus
except we already had Sirius when her swimsuit was released
ornate basin
im not sure why they would add pr2 just because they get a spotlight in a story, they’ll just be confusing for some players but a sneak peak in general
minor robin
Really just the less of 2 evils
What would be weirder is if you change the story as a result of trying to cater
solemn citrus
not adding pr2 early, giving us the skins that are teased now when we get it
minor robin
Let's cross that bridge when we come to it 
It's already been suggested anyways
solemn citrus
just, there's a lot of inconsistency that is rather annoying when trying to predict what EN will have. Transparency, up front, about many things would be appreciated. Especially since many people are in the ALEC sever as well, which shows the things other servers are getting as well
minor robin
Yes, so don't predict lol
cosmic hinge
Its amazing how fast KR caught up with CN/JP, but that's done under a different publisher.
minor robin
They can't be too transparent about it either, since things do change over time
And imagine the feedback they'd get when they suddenly push back old event A to cater to new event B
Gonna cause even worse
solemn citrus
yeah but we knew that the Enty and Cleve skins would be EN exclusive for a period... so why didn't we get anything about skins for boats we have, that we don't get?
minor robin
For the sirius skin, I seriously have no idea why so I'm not gonna justify
tardy arch
you missed a chance for a great pun btw
minor robin
Not in here dammit
solemn citrus
that's the kind of transparency we should expect though. It shouldn't be a one-off thing. Just tell us we'll get it eventually, and people will have fewer questions. Some skins (collab, like the Bucky chicken) make sense to not get - other's don't and there's a lot of stuff that could be cleared up so people don't have to have these kinds of discussions
minor robin
Ah if you mean transparency in that sense, yeah, that's not something I think I can answer from my position
solemn citrus
no but you can bring it up appropriately to staff and let them know that people are having these concerns
minor robin
I will anyways
slate monolith
Oh right we still don't have Sirius' swimsuit yet
This might be payback for getting her too soon I'll bet

while i do appreciate the pace or direction yostar taking, im not fully enjoying this game as much. two things deeply bother me still:
-
the safety net that alot of ppl do want to have implemented. some others games have it. if AL wanna have higher positive rating, this will heighten it. sometimes reputation > extra profits. playerbase is more important. but well just imo. ever since i missed main ships here n there, its not the same for me anymore. others feel the same way too.
-
with more perma ships added, i think its time to clean the pool a bit again.
stone cargo
Here is a suggestion can you please fix this graph to show stuff according to reality and not absolutely randomly? For example Monarch has base HP at lvl 120 around 7900 yet her HP stat is S-rank. Nagato Amagi Kaga BB have over 8000 HP and they have the stat in graph B-rank like wtf
minor robin
- the safety net that alot of ppl do want to have implemented. some others games have it. if AL wanna have higher positive rating, this will heighten it. sometimes reputation > extra profits. playerbase is more important. but well just imo. ever since i missed main ships here n there, its not the same for me anymore. others feel the same way too.
Even if it has been suggested, it takes time to implement. Asking again isn't gonna make it come faster. Please be understanding that a completely new feature isn't easy to implement.
- with more perma ships added, i think its time to clean the pool a bit again.
They will be cleaned, such a clean was last done (in JP/CN) when Winter Crown ships (no such thing for Visitors in Dyed Red ships) were added, we ask that you wait patiently.
@gritty belfry
patent crescent
Submarines' attack range is too short when called in for support.
Many times during Empyreal Tragicomedy I've seen scenarios where allied submarines laze around in back, not firing torpedoes while enemy ships are on-screen. It seems the spawn locations of many of the stationary Zara-class Production ships are too far back for the Subs to "see".
I think supporting subs should be doing something other than loafing around at the back, personally. It's not because their torps can't reach either.
naive cobalt
Subs range is fine, issue is with enemy CAs spawning too far back. It's a known issue.
patent crescent
Fair enough- so long as that is dealt with eventually once this event finds its way to War Archive (or is Rerun), and isn't a more widespread problem I'm satisfied.
winged compass
well, not exactly a fix but if you have U101 you can use her and she should be able to take care of it for the while
patent crescent
I don't have her leveled enough to consider using in the event hard modes, unfortunately.
stone cargo
Or just do it like me. Don’t use submarines at all they are trash anyway.
BTW Can I get some kind of response for that stats graph showing random things?
cursive plank
CN and JP are getting Suruga as World Boss next, I think they will not share your sentiment at submarines being trash for at least one week, EN will eventually get Essex/Suruga World Boss event too
stone cargo
I’m not CN/JP
minor robin
i'm checking if there's a card for the stats
he's saying how they're going to come to EN eventually
stone cargo
And I said they ARE trash which is present tense so why you give me some random argument about future
cursive plank
And Submarine is an investment into the future? I mean you aren't going to make it with your submarines if you only start to train them when World Boss announcements shows up
minor robin
I've gone on endless tirades here on why subs aren't trash here and with you too iirc, I'm not gonna do it again 
stone cargo
Which reminds me why there is no obtainable equipment for Surcouf as main gun? Other subs can equip random DD gun but Surcouf must have special one that is unobtainable you must use only the blue one you received her with
shell bramble
So it isn't unobtainable, it comes with her
stone cargo
Now it is unobtainable and one possible equipment which is blue is weird
minor robin
The reason why she uses a different gun is because she wasn't a typical submarine but a cruiser submarine in real life
cursive plank
It only has the blue version.....
On the other hands... Can we not have world bosses for 2 months? I mean the I only has one submarine oxygen equipment because its the first one in the core data shop. Don't make us fight a world boss without 3 copies for all subs 
minor robin
As much as I empathise, not much we can do about it (and using IJN/USS subs who have better o2/reload might help if they do that)
cursive plank
How about not like this 
I do like my USS subs tho so it wasn't that bad
minor robin
And in the context of ww2, there are other cruiser subs, but until then, yeah
To be fair, you could argue for her gun to be made permanent in some shape or form, like say in the core shop since we lack french boxes
Or research bp like other french gear
stone cargo
So basically until you add more subs of her type there won’t be any useable gun of decent quality for her right?
minor robin
"Usable"
I hope you realise it's actually a pretty good gun 
She's the only sub with actual gun damage lol
stone cargo
Yes but would be better in purple so I could upgrade it to 10 at least
winged compass
non gold/rainbow = nonusable 
minor robin
It does well enough (100 damage per shot is pretty decent)
Any better would be a new gear suggestion, and we don't take suggestions for that
stone cargo
Amazing. The only sub that is not obvious pedobait and it has this. Well have you found something about the stat graphs being random at least?
minor robin
Again, it's not a bad thing for surcouf lol
stone cargo
Its not great either
minor robin
Subs are not supposed to be spewing shells to begin with
She already outperforms all other subs at gun damage considerably
stone cargo
Thats only to be expected given her barrage is shells not torps and her gun is maingun not auxilary
But I wanna know about the stats why are they randomly decided
minor robin
My only guess is that it's for flavour text, but I also suspect they try to take into account... skills
Which is why saratoga has C rank FP when she has none despite her cruiser gun skill
Monarch was probably due to her zombie skill
Not gonna bother trying to justify everything, made the card anyways
https://trello.com/c/C7UJxGEd
stone cargo
Thanks
Your explanation sounds plausible but its still misleading since the graph shows just base stat icon and base stat short name but actualy counts random stuff in it from skills. And honestly there are too many different skills to fairly count em in graph that would be objective enough so yeah thanks for making it a post for devs
And about the Surcouf just letting her equip random other gun in some caliber variety would fix that problem. For example IJN submarine didn’t have equipped main gun from USS DD on it IRL yet it’s possible in game given how the equipment system works so why not make Surcouf equip random other gun in some resonable caliber variety around her own gun caliber (just like it works with every single other vessel in game except Surcouf)

shy pond
Surcouf argument: In my opinion, she should be a tad stronger. Having no opening barrage is shoddy, because you lack that MASSIVE alpha strike most subs get. To add to this, if you consider reload other subs can still do decent gun damage while being quite a bit better due to the torpedo barrage. So, here is the suggestion: Surcouf barrage triggers both upon entering battle and on surfacing. Would make her a good fire support.
Gun is made a special equip and can go to +10 to be set in line with other subs being able to get +10 guns
The more important bit is the barrage. If player-controlled such as with the sub weekly, surcouf is really good. But due to the lack of an entering volley she is relatively useless for the immediate damage boost that calling in subs means
naive cobalt
I see your point, but at the same time it defeats her unique point which is the gun 
I like the +10 suggestion
viscid moon
When you complete a mission, whether daily, weekly, or event, have a popup from the bottom left or wherever stating the mission has been completed and what mission it is
Possibly, have similar popups for completed ships and meowficers who have finished training

I believe it was suggested. I'll check later and update the card if it was only partially

As for your direct request, I don't see a card for it in particular. If not its own card, might be edited onto the one for skipping / removing BB/CV cutins (although map vs in battle), or maybe that would be part of the fast forward feature if they bring that to other maps (I forget if that was sped up as well during Ashen or not)

@shy pond @naive cobalt I did suggest multiple times to add a purple version of Surcouf's gun to the event rerun ...
naive cobalt
maybe it was missed
but can't really add a new gun to already existing event regardless
making her default being able to go to +10 makes more sense and is easier to achieve
And making one of the map drops a weapon that can only be used on one single ships is... not the best idea
since it basically makes any drop of it past initial 10 a dead drop
assuming you have surcouf in the first place
flat vector
Restart, can you make or amend a ticket for my request pls

ye ye, was just checking if it exists
it doesn't, at least I don't see it, so got it created

grave kettle
so why is ykkz getting added now as opposed to prev announcement? can we now expect devs to add rerun ships to next archives?
naive cobalt
her being added is unrelated and separate from war archives
for other servers it took around a year between initial war archives and her being added completely unrelatedly just now
for us it was just mashed into one update to catch up faster
maybe they should've specify it
also - all war archives DO include ALL the rerun ships
VDiR is the only exception for whatever reason
grave kettle
didnt she get added cos of the fact that vdir got sent to archives? so its related in a sense. but they delayed ykkz cos she's from rerun version.

wait vdir is an exception huh
alright i guess that answers my question

How much time does it take for an event to be in the War Archives?
shell bramble
There's no set in stone timeframe, either for it to happen in JP/CN or for it to then come to EN. You could take a look at previous patch notes (JP here: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Recent_News/JP, CN: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Recent_News) to see when a given event was rerun, vs when it was added to war archives / "Combat History" as it was translated
static needle
Its just that months after a rerun has ended, they add the event to the archives. It may take 3~6 months generally 👀
static needle
at least in practice, thats the usual pattern in jp dunno about cn
gritty stone
Why did you change Seattle's personality to a valley girl? Her speech pattern doesn't match her translations she has on the wiki, she talks normally there and rarely uses the word "like", let alone in every sentence which is what happened this event. It just makes her seem stupid when that's not her character personality at all.
void schooner
Likely the way they chose to interpret some kind of verbal tic she has in Japanese. Kinda like what happened with Naruto when he got dubbed, if you're familiar with that situation.
shell bramble
Dattebayo!
gritty stone
If that's the case I feel it would be better to not include anything extra for a verbal tic, which is what's been done for a lot of other ships. Adding words like "like" doesn't work the same way as verbal tics do, but instead it completely transforms the entire character into a dumber one. Perhaps that was an oversight with adding it, but I do want to know why.
Would like to see that get addressed for when she's out when they add PR2, it will give people the wrong idea about her character/personality and cause a lot of confusion with her lines.
velvet adder
It probably wont be changed since majority of people doesnt mind it, especially in facebook
flat vector
Pretty sure it's been complained about a bunch of times already in here, so I'm sure there's a card for it if one was worth creating.
ornate basin
we dont create cards for general discomfort, its just noted as translators do read your feedback
we do though, take formal suggestions for a better way to translate something if you think it could be better
and im sure feedback is generally based on the majority, rather if its complained about by a few people a few times here
gritty stone
That's unfortunate. The format suggestion I said before would be to just not add anything to replace her verbal tic quirk she has, it doesn't carry over well from Japanese.
"You look soooo bored, looks like you haven't had any fun all day" sounds a lot better and clearer. There isn't a need for the first like, and adding "looks" before the 2nd makes it looks normal instead of a verbal tic replacement. If not for the discomfort it should still be changed to make the text clearer for people that struggle with English.
flat vector
Seems weird to make English translations catered towards people who don't speak English well, but maybe that's just me.
celest abyss
I'm actually curious if you think people with clear accents must be stupid
sweet cloak
Can we have a Guild Raid for the next feature?
gritty stone
Not just to second language speakers but to everyone really. Another example would be her special touch line "Commander, if that is on purpose, I will be angry." You can hear her verbal tic in that so the replacement would currently be "Commander, like if that is on purpose, I will be angry." Which is adding extra un-neeeded stuff that makes it harder to understand.
@celest abyss It's not the accent, it's the repeated use of extra words for no reason that causes it to sound stupid, words such as "like" or "way" used when they're not needed.
shell bramble
What do you mean with clear accents, ghost? Seattle has been translated to sound like a valley girl, which certainly has a perceived connotation of being dumb in popular culture (when it's done up for effect)
celest abyss
...I forgot the correct word 🤦
flat vector
Doesn't seem difficult at all to understand. Seems like you're just unhappy with the translation itself.
Besides, colloquialisms are more inherent to the native language, like them or not.
celest abyss
And I can't recall it off the top of my head
though tbh I'm not a fan in general of how people who speak "different" are portrayed in media because I been laughed at because I actually talk like L/Rs said as Ws lmao
shell bramble
That's just cause people are rude
celest abyss
Anyways, yeah, I'll note Seattle isn't the first ship we have that speaks in a different pattern
She just happens to be first valley girl pattern we have
About the only argument I can see someone reasonably making (outside no dialect in CN or JP, which would require a Chinese/Japanese native to confirm likely) is that dialect is most common in Calif., and that doesn't preclude her talking that way
jade surge
just replace her valley girl accent with references to 90s grunge lyrics
gritty stone
That was a rather simple example but the same happens with longer sentences as they become more confusing. The worst is when she needs to use the word "like" normally such as this event when she was describing Roon but with the extras that have were added due to her verbal tic it sounded a lot worse. Generally you can't slot in "like" as a verbal tic replacement in every other line she has it, it doesn't carry over the same way her tic quirk does elsewhere. But I guess nothing will be happening with it though.. despite her being a pretty prominent ship being one of the PR2 research ships I'd thought you would want to keep her the same and make her as clear as possible.
faint hinge
The feedback is duly noted though.
shy pond
I very strongly support Gray's case. The TL team is STILL not working to our satisfaction (although I will say they have improved a bit). With verbal tics you can not just insert "like" everywhere. If you have English as a second language, it can even be considered a mistake to overly use it. That is why I would at least notify the TL team
teal cradle

I want to say it's like saying "you know" after certain sentences you know. Because that too is an English verbal tic you know

But it's still a verbal tic though, and it doesn't have to sound dumb, just like a thing you know
swift hatch
Not sure if this is such a big of a deal, but it's annoying when you have multiple ships activate all their skills at the same time. Especially on the start of a battle. All of them say their voice lines at the same time, and it comes out a jumbled mess of indistinguishable noises.

@naive cobalt the gun could be added to the event shop, though
or give it as a reward for calling Surcouf into battle n times during the event

Can we talk about the new magic equipment for the An Shan class? Why is this a good idea? Their performance will exceed Javelin kai.... Which takes investment into the retrofit process... vs a few Core Data
I am completely fine with China meme because they have to go through the retrofit process, just a few core data is way too over the top
Let alone the fact that its a magic equipment that doesn't exist irl
Jesus Christ who thought this is a good idea? Power creep is one thing magical powercreep with minimal investment is absolutely stupid

For one, I'm not even sure why you're comparing to Javelin kai

An Shans were always gun DDs, Javelin was straddling the line between gun and torp and was more torp oriented to begin with

In any case, not like we can nerf something that's already been released, even if it does make them op
Mareepy point is that they shouldn't try to pull this alleged BS with other ships
cursive plank
My point is ultimately this is not a retrofit, yet it has the impact of one on a ship, no more of these, if you want to improve them, retrofit, easy as that
narrow sage
But I doubt this will shake things up; as it is, I think the Chinaball has fallen out of revelance.
naive cobalt
so do many items that work best/only on certain ships

They never even were relevant to begin with even though they weren't nearly that bad

This is probably just how they intend to diversify loadouts in the future without influencing entire swaths of ships

anyway, "no more magical bullshit" feedback noted, not going to take suggestion on nerfing this item, can we stop this discussion
analog jay
Regarding bache bike skin (if it will come to EN), is the plate number intentional?
I can read it as a word
narrow sage
It's hard to take that CN claim post seriously as CN's infamous for running with datamined stuff as if it was fact.
minor robin
The art for the skin was changed for other servers so the word doesn't exist
naive cobalt
and patchnotes do say en getting the skin
faint hinge
Bitoo
cursive plank
So its changed? That is at least a good news, 617CH is not even subtle
analog jay
Oh, okay gonna wait the announcement for the change👌
winged compass
iirc
narrow sage
Is anything said here able to even convince the higher ups not say getting subpar artists because of some rivalries or letting them get so carried away? (Or for that matter fixing..... fake Surcouf's skin so it matches another girl better or have it match the actual girl)
naive cobalt
Like, we can relay it, but probably not
especially with comments like "subpar artist"
narrow sage
how else would one describe Waterkuma and what he's provided?
faint hinge
Dunno, people have no problem voting with their wallet
I personally quit GFL once when they brought on waterkuma but that's my own bias
narrow sage
We'll see when maintence is done, but I will hold the opinion if not for being a GFL artist, he would not have been considered.
faint hinge
He did a pretty ass job for GFL too so yeah cya
faint hinge
Getting off topic but Mica is finally firing back indirectly by giving T95/97 to new artists for this upcoming set and they look great.
narrow sage
And the skin while an improvement on execution, I feel goes in a direction AL is better off not going. He can be a decent artist, but he seems to choose not to be and his fans enable it.
faint hinge
These are some higher level decisions that fall in Manjuu's court
narrow sage
I figured but I felt I had to get it off my chest as a general thing and to help shut someone up in a thread I made.
narrow sage
I do hope that Victorious is in a future balance patch (for a ship with her history and her in-game esteem, it's unbecoming to get what amount to a mildly scaled up Rare or Elite skill kit)
dreamy loom
IMO victorious biggest flaw is her abhorrently low reload stat
like, JFC, slower than GZ. yikes
velvet adder
So they changed Bache's plate to gibberish? 
dreamy loom
it's another sign that AL QC is slacking
narrow sage
that's a family trait share by Lusty and Middy. Also that's assuming they weren't lax on Waterkuma to try convincing him to quit GFL (nevermind this route would hurt AL worse than GFL)
hard plaza
Why does azur lane close the servers for 8 hours for a 100mb update while all of the mmos i played used to have gbs worth of updates every week and yet they closed the server for a maximum of 2-4 hours?
dreamy loom
probably because AL code is a spaghetti mess
void schooner
Probably because any less than that and we'll end up with a broken game.
hard plaza
There is no reason why a game should need 8 hours of maintenance
Especially a game small as azur lane
rare jay
It's just the time that the devs require to implement all the new content and features. Not much to be done about it
minor robin
Unless you're gonna give specific ways to speed up the maintenance, there's nothing much we can do other than tell them to hurry up
Every game is just... Different
hard plaza
Sure, but if 99% of online games can figure this out, I think azur lane can too
And they wont do anything until we complain, so here i complain
balmy rover
I feel bad for bache censored plac. It was funny xD
minor robin
Yes, so if you're not gonna provide ways to improve it, all we can say is that we note your feedback and will bring it up to the Devs, but we obviously cannot promise anything
velvet adder
@balmy rover It is not known yet if EN is gonna censor, hopefully they don't.
hard plaza
I feel like a pedophile looking at that skin
tough granite
@hard plaza can u please say which game give like 2-4 hours maintainance? I'm not a whiteknight defending AL, i just love the game. If they provide a smooth experience after maintainance, as they do everytime, we shouldn't complain.
velvet adder
Some people find it hard to distinguish fiction from reality
balmy rover
Well i do. Fiction is cool reality sucks
naive cobalt
neither of these discussions really belong here
north wigeon
So.. I’m not sure how much control you guys have over this.. but would it ever be possible to tone down on the amount of events* and focus solely on updating the core gameplay itself?
Events**
naive cobalt
so less content just for the sake of it?
north wigeon
No, less time-based content for more permanent non-skin content
balmy rover
I prefer more content. And i hope we get the iron blood event rerun soon!!
naive cobalt
that is extremely general and doesn't really help
north wigeon
nevermind then
hard plaza
@tough granite Black Desert Online had weekly updates that were all at least 900mb and they closed the server for 4 hours max each time
Guild Wars do the same thing for its updates
World of Warships updates take 4 hours
balmy rover
In the other hand. Lol down servers can be even 12 h long
naive cobalt
this is neither
obviously we would prefer to have shorter times, but if devs take 8 hours - they need 8 hours
tough granite
Then we shouldn't complain amr? i saw 5 hours for BDO, Blade and Soul has 6 hours sometimes.
naive cobalt
telling them to not take as long won't reduce time
hard plaza
Well it will if enough people complain about it, its just laziness to take 8 hours for a 100mb update
naive cobalt
I don't know what goes into updating al and its servers and neither do you, no offense
hard plaza
They could make soem optimizations to the process to make it faster
jade surge
so about biker bache's license plate, why didnt they just change it to 64CH3 instead of giving us gibberish?
naive cobalt
hard plaza
Again, there are games that are 10 times as complicated as azur lane and they take less time so azur lane can take less time too
naive cobalt
again, answer won't change
velvet adder
I think the reason is that usually multiplayer games have test servers in which they can find bugs etc. I believe that AL devs don't have a test server so they need to iron out bugs and such during maint. But I'm not an expert or anything. Actually don't even know anything about game developing or servers 
void schooner
If it means less hotfixes, or the game going down for additional maintenance because something went wrong, after initial maintenance period, they need to take as much time as they need to get it mostly right the first time.
jade surge
i guarantee you they have a special bugfixing server that we have no access to
minor robin
The problem is, unless you know what is even making the maintenance longer, it's kinda meaningless to suggest such general solutions. You can complain sure, but that doesn't mean things will change
winged compass
@velvet adder they actually do have a test server according to the WC letter 
velvet adder
Oh well, I just threw a suggestion 
south sequoia
It's just an excerpt from their letter about the Winter's Crown issue
where they noted their test server stuff got onto the main server
normal vine
regarding Javelin and the An Shans - I only use Javelin when a mission demands high EVA ...
An Shans I see more like better Fletchers (and slightly weaker, less varied Zeds - An Shans are all FP focused, while you've got FP with Z23, torp with Z1, and AA with Z46)
kinda weird anyway to compare a single ship to a class that benefits from filling your whole vanguard
minor robin
I did do the rough damage calcs anyways and javelin comes up quite ahead even if you account for accuracy so I'm not sure what that claim was based on
Admittedly I haven't gotten exact numbers but the rough numbers show the claim us unfounded
thin thistle
So, about bache's new skin.
Why do censorship still exists and don't we get any official statement explaining the reason behind it ?
And before people say "it's just a skin, why would you care" or that the word "Bitch" is too offensive for a game full of naked women, I want to precise that I'm against ANY form of censorship.
Moreover, the censorship is rushed, there's plenty of solution to put something that makes sense on the plate, like 64CH3 for example, but no, it's just random numbers put together.
minor robin
I would like to point out that art of the skin was changed on all servers
velvet adder
I dont know if this is where its suppose to go, but the most recent skin 'Gorgeous Speed-Star' is censored, I'd really appreciate it if we could get the artists uncensored version. I won;t be buying the skin until it is.
thin thistle
"changed" LUL
What happened there is the exact definition of censorship, look it up
minor robin
Moreover, the skin's preview was never released on EN to begin with
thin thistle
So no preview was officially released makes it ok to censor ? That's not how it works
hidden cedar
I don't consider it changed if it was released like that and wasn't altered after it was released.
velvet adder
thats only due to the guy posting it being literally suspended from twitter due to the post so they didnt want to risk it i imagine
but yeah im very sad it was censored and if it was due to yamaha saying to change it id rather we didnt collab with shitty normie companies anymore if it means the game is going to get censored
thin thistle
The artist's will was to put "bitch", but they changed it because they didn't want that, not matter how you look at it, it IS censorship of the artist
velvet adder
I'm just leaving my feedback, I'd think it would be a good move to include artist uncensored version in the game, at least in the EN release.
silk agate
Lewd Lolis are okay but a few letters and numbers that can be argued one way or another is offensive and need censoring, despite cameltoes being all over this game...
minor robin
As much as I understand, how you guys feel about the art being changed, there is nothing we can do.
The art was changed on all servers, not just EN only.
thin thistle
Nothing needs censorship, that's what freedom of speech is supposed to be
silk agate
We can bitch, I am going to bitch endlessly like I still do with demiya, and not buy the skin
minor robin
It is decision made by dev team, we have no say in it, we'll relay your message, but we can't promise anything and skin most likely won't be changed back.
jade surge
ender i believe what needs to happen is that new art must have the guidelines completely spelled out to the artists so that the FIRST art they make is ok for the game
thin thistle
Yes I get that Ender, i just want to voice the dissatisfaction, even if it can't be reverted
velvet adder
they should not post art to twitter unless it is final is my two cent
jade surge
the only problem with the censorship is that we KNOW its censorship
minor robin
Yes, I would appreciate if it ends at that. We'll relay the feedback to the devs.
Also yes fire, I'll relay that too, thank you.
velvet adder
You relaying the message is what we expect for you, and I if you do that, I appreciate it.
hardy egret
Will past events feature collabs be reintroduced such as the Hyperdimension Neptunia collab?
gloomy mauve
give the ladders better names, event and event is a bit misleading, or was sardegna supposed to leave anyways?
balmy rover
Hello, i'm here just to say i'm angry with the bache skin "change", thank you for listening
minor robin
@hardy egret Unfortunately, that would be difficult and I can't confirm anything, for more details, refer to this screenshot
jade surge
also i doubt yamaha is the reason why bache was changed, cuz this means yostar posted the original one with yamaha's brand name on it before yamaha OK'd it and thats a huge lawsuit if so
minor robin
Well, It's almost 11pm, I'll go have dinner. I'll look into your suggestion in detail if someone doesn't get to it already @gloomy mauve
velvet adder
yeah just a few rumours i heard circulating over why it was changed, since again we never hear anything official over these changes
relevant
they might be pushing laws that mean places where the president is active become public spaces and speech cant be censored in them eg twitter but thats not a topic for here
hardy egret
@minor robin Even if it was a collab that already happened?
velvet adder
theyd have to sort out new contracts with them, like they did with world of warships and pr ships
velvet adder
because the contract most likely only covered the use of copyrighted materials for those 2 weeks like music and other stuff, ships are in forever cos they agreed on it
hardy egret
Ok
velvet adder
i mean the people who did neptunia did do crosswave so it is possible that nep could come back someday
hardy egret
Yeah.
I started the game again on this phone, but forgot to back it up from my other phone so I forgot what the account was and lost a lot of ships that I had gotten.
minor robin
Yeah Nyano explained it well
Stuff like date, the ships, their art and voicelines so on so forth are agreed to by the company
In fact as a result, there are some errors or inconsistencies in the Neptunia event or the ships that we cannot correct due to it being their legal propety
@hardy egret If you have anymore questions, regarding it I can try to answer with whatever information I have/can reveal
jade surge
though the nep event does have a good chance of coming back since they seem to have a good relationship, though they may be waiting to time it with a nep game release
jade surge
thats because kizuna is a maniac, and her event def shows it
though the nep event had good lore explaination
torpid slate
Ender, sorry for adding on to the topic, but in regards to the whole skin issue, something else that could be nice to pass along would be that if this was a Yostar decision (ie the App Store/Play Store did not force the change), then allow people to toggle over to the other design since literally the only people that will see it are the ones using that skin. It'd be very different if it showed up in say, PvP where you can't control it, but it's literally an extra item that can be ignored and could possibly have the problematic part for some toggleable
naive cobalt
we'll pass them this suggestion
torpid slate
At the very least, know it's outside of y'all's control here, but would be nice if they said something when changes had to be made. They're usually so good with not altering stuff, so if it does have to, just tell us and I'm sure most will understand, haha. Welp, I waited up past midnight in Japan to be let down by this skin change, so off to bed now 😅
mystic forge
how come bache's license plate got changed? just curious
shell bramble
I mean, is there really an expectation that when they change things that haven't been announced for EN yet, that they need to say something about it?
mystic forge
i dont particularly care about the change because its super minor, but i am curious haha, i guess bitch was a bit too much to just put there?
minor robin
Unfortunately, we are unaware of the reason why. We have asked the staff if they can reveal it, but ofc, we can't promise anything
jade surge
i think the staff are currently tied up with trying to keep the servers from catching fire
faint hinge
I doubt any of the EN staff even have the clearance to discuss decisions made presumably by Manjuu
mystic forge
Oki, just waiting it is then
faint hinge
Just understand that business decisions have to be made and sometimes they are abrupt and for no reason beyond "big boss didn't want this"
If it's that upsetting just vote with your wallet and stop causing a shitstorm because I guarantee you this is out of the hands of anyone who might be reading this
white epoch
That's a lot more understandable. In the end my gripe was just communication cause getting tied up in contract talk with Yamaha or app store TOS is completely understandable. It was just odd unofficial leak or no. But that's cool if they're working on it.
Ty Ender
cursive plank
Its definitely with Yamaha, the original announcement came with Yamaha logo and the later doesn't
soft tartan
The Crosswave Event is not a bad idea. Using all the people in the server to work together and obtain the rewards. It's a good concept and can be potentially expanded by other things. I'm talking about the GUILD!
As of this moment, the Guild system is useless. Guild is there for flexing, have salt and get salt! Combine the Guild system with the Crosswave event mechanic and the guild is now useful as ever. At least now, there's a reason to join a guild. Because of Mini-Events that's exclusive only for guild members like this.
naive cobalt
that makes guilds mandatory to join to participate in the event
dreamy loom
you also can't leave a guild as of current build
soft tartan
Yes. Make Guild Useful!
naive cobalt
making them mandatory to participate in the event is not exactly "useful"
faint hinge
There are smaller things that could be done to make guilds more relevant like the way Honkai handles Armadas
velvet adder
i personally dont want to join a guild ever 
i dont have any friends in this game and i would appreciate if they didnt lock content behind things
dreamy loom
i just want to have the option to leave a guild present. is that a game feedback or bug report?
faint hinge
It's far from mandatory but participating in an Armada gives some modest rewards
dreamy loom
what modest reward?
soft tartan
Then the Guild is as useless as ever. Please make guild relevant. Not just for flexing
cursive plank
I mean, AL has the tendency to take some collabs for granted, collab with WWF to have a stolen art that is replaced later, and then we have a collab with Yamaha and we get a skin that spells bitch, I mean, how did it get past QA in the first place?
velvet adder
it could do like the final fantasy guilds where when you play and level up the guild/earn currency for it and you can execute certain buffs
dreamy loom
bold of you to assume AL have QC
minor robin
Ok that was uncalled for.
dreamy loom
right, they definitely have QC
but whoever the one in charge of arts tend to be very.... uh... liberal?
faint hinge
You do understand that when several companies are involved, snap decisions can catch a lot of people off guard and sometimes miscommunications happen
minor robin
We already told you guys, that we will be conveying the unhappiness some players have expressed over the bache skin changes
jade surge
lovhes, the term liberal and the image of the biker prostitute with the censored license plate do not go together
velvet adder
this is why i dont like collabs with certain companies, i mean yamaha? are we really yamahas prime market
minor robin
There is no need for anymore discussion regarding this matter.
cursive plank
Oh I am god damn happy over the change and I thank Yamaha for that
minor robin
Ofc, feel free to leave your complaints we'll submit those too, but there's no need for a discussion about this
naive cobalt
just keep it civil, it's not a rant channel
velvet adder
Yeah my complaint would be to just not collab with companies that might not have the same views as an anime game would do, and would be rich and big enough to either cancel the collab or enforce decisions on the game that the game company wouldnt want
jade surge
i love how its a skin of a girl of questionable age appearing to belong to a profession where she gets money for illicit acts, and yet the censor was only the license plate and theres still this level of complaint
minor robin
faint hinge
🤡
white epoch
Yeah, makes no sense but that's what contractual obligations do. All we can do is just wait and see what devs say.
ornate basin
lets keep comments on the down low and stick to feedback
jade surge
literally the only complaint i have is that the new license plate says 61700 instead of 64CH3, if its possible to get that fixed, that would be nice
cursive plank
That is actually a good idea
minor robin
We did bring that up earlier while maint was ongoing
dreamy loom
i like this event, but the severe level of connection problem makes me wonder, do the dev team (or is it localizer for us?) have tested the server with a hypothetical situation when literally everyone (or at least 85%) of the player dunking into the event?
just, uh, a question
because i thought they have learned things after scherzo
faint hinge
Marus are used in Japanese to censor text
minor robin
Actually, do you want to know what caused the connection issues?
velvet adder
just anything other than random numbers as long as its a custom numberplate i am fine
faint hinge
So it probably makes more sense for them than it does for us
jade surge
no lovhes, and no intelligent company builds their servers capable for that
white epoch
What cause the issues?
velvet adder
yes i would love to know the issues
dreamy loom
aight then, so it's not because of a lot of people accessing the game. if that's not the case, then... what is it?
because the last 2 times something similar happen it's because... scherzo hype calling in too many player at the same time
minor robin
This part over here which is no longer working
jade surge
the amount of bache license plate complaint emails flooding the servers
white epoch
Oh the rolling text
dreamy loom
so, basically, the part that would be a problem if a lot of people are doing the event
got it sir. 
white epoch
that makes sense. constantly updating on an ungodly amount of users would kill anything tbh
minor robin
It's not about the actual too many players like what happened other times
jade surge
well yeah that was causing the server to send the data for each player completing a map to all other players, that data adds up quick
dreamy loom
that's why i ask if they've tested the event with hypothetical high amount of users playing the event
minor robin
And I'd like to point out JP straight up lost a server due to this
jade surge
lovhes the answer is no
dreamy loom
aight
jade surge
they LOST a server?
velvet adder
i like how the jp server was up for like 2 hours before ours, and they still didnt fix it before they brought it out for us
minor robin
Kiel server went down for an additional 1h maintenance
They probably didn't know what caused it
But yeah that's besides the point
velvet adder
im surprised it didnt bring down all the en servers since jp servers are probably a lot bigger and better
dreamy loom
well, i guess it's great job to the dev finding the issue quick enough before things get worse
jade surge
well how many servers does JP have?
velvet adder
like 40 or maybe more
rare jay
This is straying from feedback 
velvet adder
minor robin
about 20 iirc, but yeah, not a discussion for here
CN has nearly 30
white epoch
i can understand small bugs making past patch release, but is there no way for them to simulate server strain with a feature like that contribution log?
jade surge
follow me to #off-topic for server discussion
velvet adder
yeah heres a feedback try to test servers and the updates before theyre actually pushed
since it seems like we are used as beta testers quite often
ornate basin
that is feedback, leave it at that no minor comments that stray
minor robin
We'll bring this up, can't promise if it'll change anything noticeable to us but yeah
velvet adder
you dont need to bring it up i know that nothing will change
id prefer the bache numberplate was at the forefront 
jade surge
just one quick final note on that, they physically cant simulate the amount of devices of the playerbase in a way that gives them a good idea of how its going to run without literally purchasing that many devices and scattering them across the world
dreamy loom
just want to re-state it, big congratulations/salutations/kudo and other salutary statement to the dev (or is it localizer?) for finding and fixing the issue fast enough.
jade surge
wasnt fast enough to save JP
dreamy loom
their loss will be remembered. for a week.
white epoch
actually, for thought, could there be a feature that auto retires only extra rares, elites, and super rares but leaves bullins, purrins, and commons alone?
naive cobalt
I believe something was suggested, but need to check
velvet adder
yeah i was also gonna suggest that it would auto enhance ships for me
jade surge
i would prefer both, where it auto-enhances your ships by level, and if theres no more room for enhancement, it then auto scraps
velvet adder
yeah thats exactly what i would like
it would be helpful for newbs too since i remember i didnt enhance my starter for like 3 months cos i didnt know
white epoch
just so long if it does that it doesn't touch rare+ ships for enhancement.
velvet adder
yeah only commons
dreamy loom
an auto enhance button for the entir dock would be useful ngl. even if they do it inefficiently (using a dozen DD to upgrade FP instead the spare common BB you have)
naive cobalt
have one for retire https://trello.com/c/CFTdBixa/535-auto-select-ships-for-retire
don't see for enhancement
I'll add it
white epoch
perhaps make it prioritise matching ship type in auto enhance
jade surge
ah so that already had it by rarity, thats good
no they will do it inefficiently, if you want it done right, you gotta do it yourself
thats the reason the auto battle AI is so bad
naive cobalt
velvet adder
as long as they dont think its the same as that auto fill button in enhance menu
narrow sage
on the maintence matter, most MMO maintences usually do tried/true stuff by their standards so it's not much hassle while This update involved something rather expermental by AL standards that has gone wrong in the past. In JP there was Maid training event that was similar and for the first few days, things were a complete mess.
minor robin
AL's history with "raid" events have been troubled to say the least
Newcastle's had bugged rewards, Essex's needed to be nerfed
narrow sage
Yep; IMO it's better to wait 2-3 extra hours than to be unable to play 6-9 afterwards.
But I think the chronic issue is not really stress testing things well enough (hence when a surge of players does something, things go screwy)
velvet adder
Wondering if there is any chance that they would improve Bache skin's plate. I understand why it was censored and I'm fine with it. Would be nice thou if they changed it to say like B4CH3 or something 
The current one makes no sense
narrow sage
I think they were trying to do a quick solution.
flat vector
License plates are just jumbles of letters and/or numbers, unless you just want it to be thematic 
minor robin
It has been suggested and brought up to the devs
However whether changes will be made is unlikely
velvet adder
EN devs or CN/JP?
naive cobalt
dev team is the same
velvet adder
okay 👍
narrow sage
the EN branch is mainly publishers/localizers IIRC
naive cobalt
The current one makes no sense
Also Jif above provided quite likely explanations - circles are often used in Japan in place of "censoring" words, like you would use asteriks in English
It makes more sense if you look at it this way
velvet adder
Yeah it does, but for rest of the world it doesn't
narrow sage
people are bitching about "the censoring" naturally.
naive cobalt
jade surge
i explained why they couldnt accurately stress test for the specific problem they had in #off-topic a while ago
velvet adder
Like I don't think it would be too much work to make it say 34CH3 or something. But thanks for the info 👍
narrow sage
they usually do it partially anyways.
naive cobalt
I understand it's not obvious, just providing some explanation that might make the decision clearer
faint hinge
https://youtu.be/hfBY2E3snFs this for example
velvet adder
Well if JP people are fine with it, then I guess it is final 👍
jade surge
shimoneta only censors itself in japanese though, in english theres no censoring anything they say
naive cobalt
that's... not the point
he just showed an example of using circles that way
jade surge
oh he meant the circles
white epoch
circles use circles. also if the devs need to do a last minute decision again, is it cool to let them know that they can just hold off release for a moment just so they can sort it? the rush and timing gave no favours.
like we're westerners, we're used to delays
faint hinge
There was miscommunication between social network interns and upper management. Shit happens in companies because of the number of people involved and the delays in information getting around. If social media didn't jump the gun, none of you be any the wiser
white epoch
While true, the gun has already been fired and has only been kinda quelled on Discord thanks to yourself and Ender. Just Twitter needs to be put in order but I guess the devs/yostar will probs address it later once server stability is handled.
faint hinge
I wouldn't count on an official statement because there is stuff you can and can't say about your boss/client's decisions
lapis trellis
(Suggestion)
The individual reward info tab should be less dark when the rewards are closed so that players can still see the rewards (they can still see it, but imo, it should be a little less dark)
white epoch
Fair enough. But addressing the leaked image as "unfinished" and even further vaguely saying proper changes will be made in the future is still good enough without disclosing anything. It is just an unfortunate mess wrapped in day one patch technical issues.
But that's still asking for much. What we learned so far today is still good to set things straight.

So we can get an event ship the day after the event ends, but the event outfits are gone immediately? Really wanted Zara's swimsuit, but after I got her and checked the store, it was gone already.
flat vector
You cannot get ships after the event ends just like the skins.
If you saw someone constructing an event unit today, it's because he/she didn't complete the build.
wet brook
That's what I meant. Zara finished building this morning for me, but I couldn't get the skin anymore.
Just thought I'd recommend leaving event skins up in the store for another day since ships need to be built and can finish the day after. I wouldn't want to buy the skin if I don't have the ship yet.

Given the newly introduced first event rerun, Visitors Dyed in Red, I feel like the time limit on the rerun is limited. Even though the compensation of having the construction pool is quite nice, I feel like there should be an extension from the 15 minutes to 20 minutes.

Hi Yostar team. I'm probably not the 1st one suggesting this, but is it possible if you guys could provide the shipfus' height in future updates? It'll greatly helps with the immersion. Thanks again and stay awesome.
jade surge
#al-lore team here, they will NEVER give us heights because then we will catch them with some kind of contradiction
loud spire
sad voice
ornate basin
did they say that? im unaware
jade surge
it would also give us a bunch of useful information for measurements and we know they wouldnt make it easy
slate monolith
Well the #al-lore members can be sticklers over that idea though
ornate basin
if staff didnt say it then its still viable feedback
jade surge
i mean its not official that they wont give heights but i would think they would already have done that
ornate basin
well, still viable feedback then
slate monolith
Well it could help over why some girls have different heights though
jade surge
yeah its still feedback
ornate basin
I mean, look at all our suggestions and tell us how many wont be accepted because they would already be in the game
well, I will still take it then
just low change most likely
jade surge
#al-lore just assumes the staff hates us as much as the mods do
loud spire
If they do decided to implement heights, it'll probably take some time. Considering how many shipfus available now. That'll be nice tho.
jade surge
tbh if they gave us 1 height we could probably figure out the rest

I figure if we're going to use a side thing to judge, crosswave seems best considering how much data was given to them to model the kansen.

dreamy loom
have there's been suggestion about shields reworks?
normal vine
@dreamy loom rework how?
naive cobalt
@narrow sage I thought it was suggested before, but it was for Glorious. I'll add the card, but maybe you should be more specific in what areas she should be buffed and why exactly?
narrow sage
mainly her skills, maybe up the double damage proc chance from the lowly number to say 40-50%. Well +10% on battleships and 25% IIRC of double damage at SLv10 is more befitting of a Elite/SR than an SR/SSR. But I hope whoever mentioned Glorious mentioned changing the last limit break perk's "fighters (I think)+1" to "all planes+1 like most other ships as that's her main flaw.
narrow sage
I didn't touch on efficencies as that's usually beyond the reach of balance patches and would open up a sizable can of worms (a number of old units have flawed by today's standards efficencies)
narrow sage
I also brought it up because how the game has Victorious in the Siren/Code G story thread, generally treated as a protagonist figure and praised by Code G. And how things are, she's the weakest sister overall (Lusty has her niche, and Middy's able to stop/slow, mob clear or boss)
dreamy loom
@normal vine shield rework like making them generally less countered by PVE spam of trash bullet. maybe making the shields each more durable and won't succumb to sheer bullet spam of the enemy.
as it is, shields are very gimmicky and rarely useful. it takes someone who can spam them (zara) to make it viable and useful in PVE
naive cobalt
Well, I found Roons shield extremely helpful when leveling low-ish level units, but ye, if your name isn't Roon (with sheer amount) or Zara (spamability) - it's pretty much useless

Like this, a workaround exists and yet people doesn't know

dreamy loom
on "false advertising". i think the bismarckhaus dorm set have a different pattern of floor between the one in game and the one in the twitter announcement 
not really complaining or asking it to be changed, just... a bit of fun thing i noticed
cursive plank
Communicating the problems and ways to get around it asap is good for player experiences and it technically costs nothing on your front, I just think when there is a bug where EN and CN shares it can be communicated as soon as a solution emerges
narrow sage
agreed though somtimes a CN/JP thing may not work for EN due to a number of particularities (namely not syncing 100% in a number of areas like the Air Superiority sub system) Btw any reason why that was withheld from EN? IMO releasing it to EN would have people get used to it with earlier world's more reasonble quotas.
dreamy loom
what exactly are those hotfix anyway?
alright, found a translation of it
The patch contains fixes for the following bugs,
- Crossing Waves EX stage freezing during battle
- UI unresponsiveness of the fleet composition
- Unintended damage reduction of Georgia's skill in Mock Battle```
do we even have the 1st bug?There's a bug with freezing on loading screen, but doubt it's the same one and most likely was caused by connection issues anyway

the new dorm set has a too much limted time. players going for the italien dorm set wont have that much coins....
rare jay
Well the Italian dorm set has been available for a while, and still will be available for about another half a month (for a total of one month availability). And the new dorm set is much cheaper in comparison as to allow for some flexibility with coins. Not trying to diminish your point, but that's the reasoning behind the short time for it. It only cost about 1.4k coins or so for a one-tap w/ no duplicates

also there's been quite a bit of break from dorm sets before these 2, unless if someone is literally new it should be fine

i assumed that was just for the "youre on auto, did you know?" at the start of battle

ornate basin
pretty much

id also like it to make the sound when sound effects is muted if possible

this might be an unnecessary suggestion, but it'd be one i'd very much like, could a tab inside either the docks or the depot be shown/pressable where it previews all the skins you've bought for money?
an example would be, for skins you've bought and/or have for characters you don't have yet, so one would know what things you'd still have without forgettin by waiting on reruns for months on end.

i think that's been suggested some time ago. a way to view the character skins you've bought without clicking said ship.
or maybe it's only for weapon skins?
i think it's both

It has been suggested to have a skin inventory. And you're already able to view all your gear skins

@rare jay not gear skins, Shipgirl skins incase ya meant it like that

Sigh, this drop rate of gold bp has been insanely impossible, tomorrow is exactly 7 days since not single gold bp was dropped on hard stages, it was never like this. Same with crosswave hard stage too, 45 tries in 3 days, only 1 gold ryuusei bp was dropped, im getting sadder and sadder as this goes on. As other concerns I was emphasizing on, I am NOT repeating those concerns to make it quicker to happen, I am merely wanting to know if devs are actually working on them (a confirmation of what future projects is reassuring players )
minor robin
There's a reason gold drop rate on the raid event is anecdotally lower
Unlike in events, where gold BP drop on boss and siren/elite nodes only, making up about half the attacks of a single run capable of dropping gold BP
gritty belfry
No that event is a side thing, but im talking about hard stages, i havent been getting a single gold bp at all, 3 tries a day , today is 6th day , nothing, so 18 tries no gold bp
minor robin
Here you have a chance to drop it on every attempt, and you can do it as much as your oil allows at a lower cost since you don't need to survive multiple nods
the 15 tries only give you increased drops, and doesn't prevent you from "farming" it if you exceed the 15
gritty belfry
ok the hard stages im talking about is normal chapter, not the event, i'll clear that confusion up
naive cobalt
I am merely wanting to know if devs are actually working on them (a confirmation of what future projects is reassuring players )
we can't confirm or clear up anything about it, even if we knew about their future plans and we don't
gritty belfry
before the gold bp drop was fairly satisfied , i was able to get maybe 1 gold bp every 2 days or so, sometimes even 2 in 1 day, but now the normal chapter hard stages is botched, at least 6 days not a single gold bp, if im counting right. i wonder if some changes were made to lower this rate. it is pretty apparant
naive cobalt
you got extremely lucky before then
shell bramble
I think that player research around the time of w6 hard mode coming out, put it at around 6.5% maybe? Might be a bit more than that now in w8, but ultimately RNG is RNG
naive cobalt
from my personal experience, I get gold BP maybe once in 4-5 days and I know people who would call me a lucksack due to it
and 4-5 days is not a consistent number
minor robin
Player based data gathering for hard mode t3 BP drop rates approximates an increase of 1% increase per increased in chapter
gritty belfry
i just think rng is rng is an excuse or miserable reason to call it. who wouldnt want some return after certain effort put in. When u constantly farm for something, if u get 1 return result then i can call it fine, but if u think that 7 days nothing even a single return is just unfortunate then im speechless. this is where it turns people off an away for good. rng is rng (i dont buy it) i believe in effort = at least some return.
and those "lucky" times were when i farmed w5 or less, starting w6+, its rates are ridiculously bad. idk why but shouldnt it be the higher world or challange it is, the more rewarding it should be? cause ur putting more effort to it?
naive cobalt
Not arguing there
but you saying that chances were reduced
and they weren't
that's the part we answering "it's RNG" to
gritty belfry
i just believe that rng is rng up to a certain point, but when its higher challange, then rewards should be higher too, in this case the rate up? but ever since i go to w6+ hard mode, i got nothng. so i feel punished for more difficulty challange
naive cobalt
if you have specific suggestions how to reduce the RNG - I would be happy to take them
but not "I've run HM for 6 days and haven't got anything, rates were skewed"
personal perception of RNG would never be objective, it's on such a low scale, you can't judge it even approximately
gritty belfry
then up its rate per world , i saw the global data collective too, it says w3-5 are tad better to farm, which i could believe so, since my luck was better before, but higher worlds give less rate for gold bp drop but a tad increase in core data . should it really be this way
shouldnt it be the lesser challange it is , the less rewards u get, so why make something disproportionate, its like ur makin players to choose : a. u want more core data or b. u want gold bp drop rate more. so essentially ur saying core data is worth more than gold bp since higher worlds give more core data while farming gold bp there has less successful rate
minor robin
Err what
I question the accuracy about said data massively
Given i've seen more that prove they (w3-5) have worse, on EN and CN
In any case, anecdotal data doesn't account for much without massive numbers
gritty belfry
i forgot where i found that date on reddit so, if u think my concern is rng based then there is really nothing to fix it, only way is to guarantee it but its another huge project, so i have nothing else to say. its up to what the devs are doing then, since there wont be any reassurance until its done.
thanks for ur time

from what I heard, it's better to farm higher worlds for gold BPs as the rates a slightly higher there

Here is a relatively well-proven point I have encountered concering a ship reballance. Javelin. After many tests (Even vs. Suruga in Crosswave), I have concluded that my initial assumption was correct. She is in need of some boost so she can get up there with the other starters. Her main gimmick is the EVA stat boost, which drops off massively with higher levels. Additionally, her torpedoes for the EX barrage drop assymetrically, making them very difficult to predict. Furthermore, her overall damage output is by far lower than any of the other starters. Thus I suggest the averaging of her EX barrage torpedo angles (more consistent hits) and increasing the duration of the TRP stat boost that comes with it by 3-5s (suggested before, but a very well though-out suggestion), so you can get at the very least a single torpedo salvo off under that buff. Secondly, to make her what her archetype seems to be and comparing her to all the other starters, I suggest a slight increase in FP and gun efficiency as to remedy the fact she does not excel in any of the categories (She should have a middle-ground value of FP unlike what the comparison puts her at)
Unless we were talking Z23 and Laffey vs. Heavy boss, Javelin was consistently doing relatively lower damage than was achieved by the other ships. Finally, when put against Suruga with Ayanami, I only got 60% of Ayanami's damage with Javelin on two separate occasions even though Javelin had more EX triggers (not helped by the first point I made, since it robbed me od at least a single torp hit)
naive cobalt
I can't say I agree with all of things you wrote, but all of it is valid, so I'll add it to the card we already have

Finally got 2 actuall solutions to azurlane not working in splitscreen.
Suggestion: implement "Multi resume"
Google has finally implemented a "multi resume" function into android Q (the new android)
See here: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/display/multi_display/multi-resume
Sadly this will only let the app actually function in multi window on android Q and up.
If azurlane staff would like multi window to work on older android versions they should just, take all the code that stops UI refreshing that is currently in "onPause{code}" and just cut/paste it to "onStop{}". People on forums say thats the official fix.

Haven't they already done #2 so that it depends on the phone itself?

10% is a lot when you can put it on anyone you want

yeah def not 10% unless its like a +10 gold

10% is huge on skills like these

but restart they could make it only affect the chances that increase with the skills

and discussion is moot since, as I said, we can't take suggestions for new equipment
jade surge
so lvl 10 ironblood pioneer would do 70% FP
naive cobalt
this doesn't make any sense, 60% FP is not a "chance"
jade surge
chance was wrong word
but thats how they could keep it from entirely breaking the game
instead of affecting the chance of the skill, it would basically just add levels to the skill

@naive cobalt yeah, but for stuff like Big 7, where the chance to trigger increases with level

Simple solution: Allow main effect of a skill to be increased by 10% of its trigger rate/ 10% of ots effect... Means that you get leniency with the main effect definition and you would not get it as super-manadatory for something like the Big Seven. But it is just theorising since no feedback on that sadly...
Ah, by the by, buffs to Nelson and Rodney? It is sad to see Rodney, the ship who sunk Bismarck be outrated by some of the others.... No mention of it in her bio either. Plus she may have had the only capital ship-to-capital ship torpedo strike in history
Same could be said for the Colorados. Both get somewhat overshadowed by the Combined fleet flagships even though every one of them was a flagship at one point or the other

I would like to suggest a feature to toggle hide craft designs that we have no interest in completing in the DEPOT/CRAFT menu.
As well as adding the amount of designs in possession when checking the drop info for a specific design on a map node.
Would be really helpful for all the event exclusive equipment that is frequently farmed.

If subs count for some of those third stars on events, they oughta be able to contribute some amount to the stat requirements.
void schooner
They only affect the "# of ships deployed" star whenever that shows up, which is appropriate. And unless something requires an insane amount of TRP stat, they really wouldn't be contributing anything else to the requirements.

Suggestion: introduce a pvp mechanic for friends on your friend list. No reward, just for fun.

It's been suggested before to have such a function. Card for reference as well https://trello.com/c/jCyQ4v7P/427-friendly-pvp

I would like to see a oath skin for laffey and Z~23 seeing as if im not mistaken they are the only two of the starter squad without one

You aren't mistaken, but as per the pins in this channel, they aren't taking suggestion on brand-new content at this time (ships, skins, etc.)

baileys quest text is inconsistent with the others for the same stage
does this count as a translation issue?

It's been reported as a bug

its not a bug

so it's meant to not have exit button?

yes

weird. i guess i'll just hope to never need to scroll in that menu

it gave me a reason to use capped botes

just wait for season 2 
also you dont really need a reason to use em ye pleb

bring it back 
minor robin
We can't take feedback on event pacing like this
Yes, asking to bring back an event counts
ornate basin
is like asking for an event to come back
all I can say is
hey it will probably have a rerun!
merry elm
@restive mountain There's a hidden back button at the top left, it just has no graphic.
ornate basin
there is no hidden back button
merry elm
There is
Try it
tardy arch
there's not. if you click/tap anywhere outside of the boxes the window will close.
ornate basin
a lot of menus work exactly like that
merry elm
Weird' that's never worked for me 
ornate basin
like me getting frustrated when I accidentally tap the back instead of the button
earnest compass
Can I submit my idea for a gamemode (that'll never get implemented) here?
minor robin
As long as it's not an event yeah
earnest compass
Alright, get ready for a very disorganized wall of text
Strategic Assault
-There will be a number of friendly nodes along with your shipgirl fleet positioned to one side, with the enemy in the other in a rather large map.
-You can use 2 fleets to sortie, and there will be 2 Elite fleets on the enemy side as well
-Killing enemy nodes will reduce an overall percentage gauge. Production ship nodes will respawn for a certain number of times before stopping, while Elite nodes can respawn infinitely but with a few turns of cooldown.
-Killing elites will reward you with the ability to call in Strategic Attacks automatically every few kills, which will lower the percentage gauge by a cetain amount as well as either dealing severe damage or destroy a production fleet or two outright (depending on Strategic Attack type)
- Your shipgirl fleets are much more susceptible to being sunk but can respawn with a timer (3 turns?)
-The enemy elites will move every turn just like you and with the same amount of tiles too
-Upon reaching a friendly node there is a chance for either the elite to be sunk or the production fleet to be sunk with the elite taking a random amount of damage. Either way, it will take them a couple of turns to do either.
-The Strategic Attacks mentioned above will take a few turns to arrive, and will only deal a set amount of percentage dip to the enemy fleet, not enough for you to only take out Elites.
-Elites do not count in the percentage gauge, forcing you to engage the production fleets
Depending on implementation (pve or an extension of Exercises), combat with elites will either be like your bog-standard elite fleet or like Exercises
earnest compass
One necessary change to how turns work will be needed: attacking a fleet will count as a turn.
sharp creek
aew we able to limit break over lvl 100 yet on Washington? if so how do i do it
main moth
I would love for an option to have my fleets sorted in dock by the fleets they are in Fleet 1 ships are all besides each other and all of Fleet 2 ships are all besides each other. It's a very minor thing but would be a nice quality of life change to have that as an option
hollow grail
Just a minor suggestion: To offset the default camera a little to the right in PvP fights, so that the icons for backline shipgirls on your side don't flicker each time the camera shakes from guns firing
jade surge
But cant you just move the camera in pvp?
shell bramble
Sure, but the standard entry experience is subpar sometimes / on some devices
rare jay
@main moth It's been suggested before in our compilation card for sorting under No.9 specifically. Card for reference as well https://trello.com/c/qYfpGxJy/680-additional-sort-options-ideas
@hollow grail Got the suggestion created for you. Card for reference https://trello.com/c/ED1Ju5yg/916-all-show-both-backlines-hp-bars

Thank you Toaster!

cursive horizon
Where did Cleveland’s road trip outfit go? It had no timer and was there a couple days ago when I got Essex’s!
cursive horizon
It should’ve said it had x days left but it didn’t.
ornate basin
well, it was sure supposed to
cursive horizon
I just bought Gems thinking it’d still be there. Kinda bummed now.
shell bramble
Are you sure that it didn't? Cause I could've sworn that when I previously looked at it a couple weeks ago, it did have a timer
ornate basin
I mean we wont take reports on it anyways
its too late, and not much evidence
and it would be more for #bug-reports

After comparing jp and en ads for dorm set... Why do they make 2 version of it? Why not just use jp version for the en one? What's the reason to make 2 image for the same set?
static needle
where is my pr2 
minor robin
@naive cobalt will answer lovhes question
As for where's PR2?
"When a sufficient portion of the playerbase has completed a good amount of PR1"
It's vague
naive cobalt
Why not just use jp version for the en one?
because we're not JP and each server has its own promo images
why would we use JP one
If issue is with it being inaccurate - it's completely different issue and we already brought it up with the team
dreamy loom
Why do en and jp use different image for dorm set ads/twitter preview?
ornate basin
every client has its own format for previews of anything and server announcements
its just how they tend to work
naive cobalt
not like we'll be able to answer about higher level PR decisions even if we knew reasons behind them
again - if the issue is with inaccuracies - it was addressed
dreamy loom
Aight then. Not really hoping to get any concrete answer. Nice to hear that the people facing staff don't know too I guess
heavy lodge
couldnt some of the files, like maybe image and audio, be compressed to even slightly reduce the overall size of the game? I can understand the live2d and battle animation taking a decent chunk on their own, but the rest could probably take a tad less
flat vector
99% chance the game files are already compressed in some way. Uncompressed files are huge (generally speaking)
naive cobalt
game without audio files only takes around 1Gb which is already pretty low for most mobile games
any lower is probably impossible without sacrificing quality in massive way
shell bramble
Related, and possibly getting at your main concern, there have been proposed suggestions for being able to selectively download certain audio / L2D files, in order to tailor it down to just the ones desired (although no indicator for whether devs will implement that suggestion)
winged compass
you can already selectively download l2d files
naive cobalt
I can understand the live2d and battle animation taking a decent chunk on their own
l2d take barely anything btw

is this where i ask this?
the rails and road is small?
i also noticed that this thing has a rotation function but you cannot even rotate it. similarly to the bridge from the Queen Elizabeth dorm set.
drifting edge
There should be more dorm music options
cursive horizon
Agreed on the music, it gets kinda stale after a while, no matter how pleasant. But if I'm upset about anything it's the fact that due to two dorm sets running simultaneously I'll not be able to finish both. :<
tight acorn
Your Rally Request event is pure RNG based, I really hope you don't make future things like this
tardy arch
i don't see how as it's completely player controlled. yes you're "randomly picked" but there's still a person behind that decision. not a bot.
winged compass
its not 'purely' rng based, sure, if you dont do anything, it is 'rng', but you're kinda supposed to seek out out returnees/newbies and ask them to enter your code n all that
tardy arch
you can. you just gotta do it yourself.
naive cobalt
because... whole point is to provide incentive for new players to get into the game/old players to return
tight acorn
naive cobalt
tight acorn
Whelp I guess I gotta pray, thanks.
flat vector
Fushi, you can always just say that your feedback is that you dislike this system and you wish to not have it in future events.
winged compass
I'll just say the event is pretty funny since you can just switch server on your own account, and enter your UID in the other server, do the tasks and get past stage 20 in your own account,
technically shouldnt happen but it does 
naive cobalt
again - the whole point is to get new/old players
"not to have it in future events" means not to have this event just in general
flat vector
I try to get all my old friends who used to play back into it all the time and they refuse
It's lame to be gated if you can't meet the condition
tight acorn
not have this mechanic, or you can solely limit it to new and returning players
hollow grail
Look at it this way, you still get half the stuff if you don't have another person linked up
tight acorn
I've tried to get my friends back to play AL, but this was not the thing they bit on
naive cobalt
I find it funny that people complain so much because they were given most rewards for free but not all of them
tight acorn
I'll grind for it
flat vector
I think the point is mainly, the vast majority of content can be done alone and I like that part of AL.
Introducing rewards based on interactions with other people is not something I enjoy.
