Something probably not talked about is Quick Finishers. I’m 100% certain everyone here has above hundreds of them and will never run out of them. Is it really worth keeping them in the game based on the lack of rarity of them? Just a wonder

i request dorm size expansion and to have a flip function also because there are certain parts or objects that doesn't fit with the current positions available. so that i could face them the way i want them to.
rare jay
@celest abyss It's been suggested before to have such an option
@sharp gust There is a suggestion for more expansions as well have having a flip option. But due to how they have the dorms set up w/ objects (they're just mirrors so they can only be flipped one way or none at all), it's unlikely they'll be able to change it. But at the very least it's been suggested

can there be an option do sortie with a 0% chance of getting a ship for when your dock is full
void schooner
I don't think that would ever be implemented. But if, by some chance, it was, they'd need a mandatory popup that tells you one time every time you hit your cap that you won't receive any ships until space is made.
Or not. It might negatively affect people grinding for [insert Elite/SR ship here], though, who would forget about this little, yet major, detail.
narrow sage
the annoying thing is that it pops up in things that has NO chance of getting a ship (daily raids for starters)
crimson void
This is probably a minor complaint but I just recently knew that roon's skin actually places her firing position right in the middle instead of being slightly above her head (right where the shark thing is). This makes a noticable difference in gameplay especially since CA's tend to have a tight firing angle.
I just wish there was more consistency when it comes to these since skins are just supposed to be aesthetic
dreamy loom
while i don't have roon's party skin, it does slightly affect gameplay
not much mind you, but it does set up a bad precedent for future skin having more gameplay effect (beyond flexing on poor people)
winged compass
well, no one cares bout abercrombie but her skin has her turret on the top of her head too so it wouldnt affect her barrage position

skins not supposed to affect gameplay at all

Well I thought it was a bug too, but I noticed there was no shark thing beside roon in her party skin chibi, so maybe it was intended by devs? Anyway i'll go file the report
winged compass
that would kinda need a tweak to the sprite itself or something, the way she shoots normally would be from the shark cuz its there, wouldnt the shark not being there and she just shooting from upwards look a bit weird ish 
dreamy loom
i mean, i understand why party roon shoot from the middle instead of her (nonexistent) dragon-shrimp head
but it is still something that affect gameplay (admittedly miniscule)

They should just remove roon's firing angle gimmick all together

Elaborating on my idea of an option to sortie with a 0% chance of getting a ship when dock is full:
It would just be another button, so instead of it only saying "Sort", "Expand" and "Enhance", it would also say "Sortie anyway" or something like that

hey people, don't know if it had been asked before, and I am pretty new, so here it goes: I would like for an option on each character for the to be excluded from the autofill option on commissions. 2nd and more important: If I save an equip layout, and the equips are already taken by another character, could you make it so that it asks if the other character should be stripped of these equips and put them on the character I would like to? These changing equips are a pain. Of course, you can grind equip and we should pay for equip place, I totally get that. But even that, grinding gold equip takes huge time and always switching is a pain and unnecassary. Thank you for your time.
winged compass
you could just put the ships you dont want sent in a team formation
ocean belfry
Oh never thought of that, seems like a work around.
flat vector
The equip swap would be a nice feature, but the problem is that if you have more than one unit with said item, how does it know who to take it off of? You'd probably have to go into another menu to decide who to pull from.
Would be a nice QoL though I suppose
ocean belfry
Yes you are right, I haven't thought of that either. Each item would need a dedicated ID inside the program, so it choses only that one. These equip switch takes away a huge part of the fun, for me at least. Thank you anyways

Yo 
A QOL update would be putting use to multiple skin on the home screen.
For example:
🔹 Setting multiple ships as secretary and every time you open up the game it will randomly select a ship that you have selected to be secretary.
🔹 An example would be selecting various ships like Belfast, Roon, Honolulu, Zara and etc. When starting up the game, it randomly select 1 out of however many ships you have and set them as secretary. When you close the game and reopen the game later on, it will randomly select another ship as your secretary.
🔹 Players would still have to choice to set a secretary/change the secretary if they opened up the game and would prefer a different ship on the screen.
I feel this QOL update would be nice, because it puts multiple skin in use at once and having multiple L2D but only being able to showcase one at a time is a bit rip. This is mainly just aimed at players that own multiple skins that they want to showcase on their screen. Instead of having to manually decide to swap out their secretary, all they would have to do is select a certain amount of ships they want to be in the rotation.

Third variation of my most recent idea:
Have an option in settings that will make it so that if you attempt to sortie with a full dock, if 100% of the ships in your dock are locked, instead of asking if you want to retire ships, expand your docks or enhance ships with other ships, it will just skip asking and let you sortie with a 0% drop rate for all ships

Please limit movement control to half of the screen. When I tap on any activated weapons (airstrike, torpedo, salvo) my vanguard moves forward even though I want them to be still. Also, sometimes, when I aim using the guns, my vanguard gets stuck moving forward because even tapping on the far right side of the screen commands my vanguard to move forward.

add a warning somewhere if there are subs in a map. Either add a warning on the screen, or show a popup before entering battle, if none of the ships in the fleets has asw gear.

@gritty belfry I sent you a DM w/ the answer 
but I actually need to get the answer out here as well so I'll go ahead and use this opportunity.

So all servers are using the CN requirements from the re-run.

Hello the mikasa zflag event is ridiculous
Where are the missions even
solemn citrus
in the academy screen, tap her there to start
rare jay
Tap her in the academy (you'll get a "!" whenever she's available for a new one) and then after a cutscene, it'll be moved to your mission tab
small vine
The main feedback i have is that finding the zflag missions isnt intuitive like other events have been. And i probably cant get zflag because of build 10 ships + 5 hard modes + godwhatever time gates they have
rare jay
But they're under "Events" in the mission tab like most (if not all) other mini events 
But either way, you can still easily finish it. You need to finish the 5 HM runs and then you'll be able to complete it the very next day. And the event is going on till the 30th
The final mission after the HM runs is just a cutscene and you're done
small vine
New mikasa missions dont pop up a ping in the events page because it links to the academy page
rare jay
Correct. Like the old mini skin event missions, you'll only get a "!" at the academy. Fault of the event being really old 
small vine
So its extremely easy for someone who doesnt know what a zflag is (i played jp which is the only reason i knew it existed) and item drops are extremely misleading as well
You cant click the item in the mission thing to view it, so you think youre getting a zflag and its really just a fragment
rare jay
Well again, it's really just a fault of the event being old and them having it all tied to the academy like they used to with old events(starting missions there, not having a tracker of it in the event tab, etc). I can note it down that it'd be better if they were more intuitive w/ the event (and describe the Z-Flag frags better) if/when we get her rerun.
small vine
Thank

They probably will when she gets a VA.

eternal bear
I whale, so every rerun I have to roll on a banner with most of what I already own on it. I had to roll Yukikaze on a banner that refused to drop her until 600 cubes getting copy after copy of zui and shoukaku. Several suggestions: add some AI that reduces the rate with each successful copy of other girls and increases the rate of the one you lack on any given rate up so I don't need to blow 600 cubes. Another one would simply be just like the nep event, add separate day rate ups so I can roll on days I need new ships. I only need U-47 but I fear rolling this event cause it legitimately could take me hundreds of cubes like mikasa. Another idea that I think has been brought up before is add a select ticket or 100% guarantee after X amount of pulls so I can chose an event girl I may have missed blowing through cubes. I find the rates generous, but I get screwed by them again and again and I am sure other players have their strides of bad luck too. That said, as a whale I whale first on getting girls and then on costumes. I would really prefer it if I had to whale on cubes less and whale on costumes, dock space, etc more. I am not saying tune it to where buying cubes is useless, I am suggesting that something be done to lessen the amount myself and others have to buy on any given rate up. Heard one guy spent 1000 cubes for Essex which is honestly absurd. That equates to about roughly $300. Any addition in tickets would help and I hope at some point we see some assistance in rates. Luck can be good, bad, and more often than you think very very bad.
eternal bear
Ahh another added complaint that I would love to see as a ticket. Why add free girls at .5% chance when you could just keep them free? A good example is Tirpitz VS Littorio. Tirpitz is free but you can only get one copy and is not on rate up. Littorio was on rate up at a .5% chance but was also free through points. Same goes for Zuikaku VS NC. Zui was .5% on rate up and NC was free through event point gacha progress. I personally don't wanna get copies of a girl that is free. I want to get the new ship that is on rate up I don't have yet. I didn't get copies of littorio, but I sure got copies of zui when going for yukikaze. I am sure others have somehow managed to pull 5 copies of littorio, maybe one of either formi or zara and missed the other one. Unless it just means we would get another non event SR (which may help newer players only), I feel removing that .5% would be beneficial. If it should remain, I still think the solution of having a 100% select ticket after X rolls or reducing rates as you get copies is a good idea.
void schooner
A kind of "Safety Net" idea has been suggested before.
narrow sage
well I think they have the non-rate up event ship taht's in shop as a sort of incidental thing as in you manage to get her, you save yourself some points, but on this subject I feel that Manijuu/etc could seriously update their gacha RNG (if not others) so it doesn't act up during heavy loads (event rolls/etc)
Though anoter thing in general is having something that says "building 10 at once will NOT have a raised chance of SSR/etc"
as I feel some people do 10 by 10 due to being 'trained' by other mobages where that is the case.
teal cave
So the game is going again the route of the alternative versions of ships we already have, first we had Kaga BB, but that one at least was heavily tied to a big event and lore it had a meaning to exist, them we had the small versions of ships we already had for the childrens day on CN and JP server, with Akagi-chan, Zeppy, Hiei-chan, Lena, Clevelad and Lil Sandy.
And now again with Gascogne, Cleveland, Admiral Hipper, Akagi and Sheffield alternative Polaris version.
It's not that i dont like the desing of the "new" ships, but i would rather have real new ships that we still dont have in the game or even some collab ships that arent real life ships like Kizunas, Utawarerumono or Neptunia, than having alternative versions of ships we already have.
narrow sage
eh not sure if this is the place to say that as that's more JP/CN though I am baffled by this as much as it doesn't mean much profit compared to skins and it seem to be an upsized small event just to fill the time. However this also brings up questions about EN getting it as this is things falling out of sync.

hollow grail
Adding to Rhadnar's post about having alternative versions of a same ship: Having experienced this in other gacha games that do this, it only adds more confusions for a game like Azur Lane where skins already exist, potentially made worse if they are to be refered to by the same name in-game as Kaga and Kaga (BB) are.
And if this were to go the route of how other gachas do this, the game would not have any form of compensation for people who already possess the original ships. It's annoying for ones who like the characters, as it means that they have to roll this event-exclusive unit of a character they already own, that has the potential to be better than what they have, and would have to ditch the original unit, or pay more investment to the "new" one; It's annoying for ones who don't like the characters, as it demonstrates that the devs are playing favorites or only pandering to the larger crowd to lure them to spend stuff into the banner.
Like, I get it, it's a gacha game, it's the principle to lure people into spending money to roll for goodies, but it still rubs me in the wrong way, and me complaining probably won't change much about what the devs have already decided on for this event. Just wanted to let off my frustrations.
tardy arch
i kinda agree. these should have been skins instead of new ships, skins make more sense than a whole new ship. at least with kaga it made sense since irl she was both a BB and a CV. but these ones look like they're the exact same ship. kinda baffling really.
i'm not sure why people who already have these ships would need compensation. ya it sucks they're going back to 0 but you can easily catch them up to speed with everyone else within a few days. and you don't have to ditch the original unit if you don't want to (or if you don't get the new ship in the pool). it's pve, you're not likely to lose with any fleet setup, baring the obvious ones.
no doubt these ships are gonna be stronger than the original ship, otherwise they wouldn't be new ships, they'd be skins. and ya kinda obvious the devs play favorites. the most popular ships are gonna get the most support and maybe one the devs like that isn't so popular.
dreamy loom
imma say the other side of this stance. this event with alternative version of the same ships is a method for players who play this for waifu-ness able to field a fleet with more of their waifu. its probably going to be like like lolified ship, but idols, unless something new is stated about them. it would be a great fanservice for fans of those ships.
the compensation is absolutely baffling and honestly sounds like a kneejerk dissatisfied reaction IMO. people who loves those new ships as their waifu would just level them up nonetheless. and if those new ships are strong and meta, people would just level them up anyway without really complaining about the ship beyond difficulty of nicknaming them. if those ships are garbage and the player aren't collecting... well... they won't collect them. simple as that. those who want to get 100% collection will probably groan about it, but hey, it's part of gacha games. at least you get a new unit out of it, but it is the path that collector have taken.
i don't get how does being new ships automatically guaranteed they're going to be stronger than the original one. it's absolutely a baseless claim to boldly claim no doubt these ships are gonna be stronger than the original ship, otherwise they wouldn't be new ships, they'd be skins..
TLDR: event makes fan of ships can field more of their waifu, hurray. compensation sounds like subjective issue instead of legit issue. new ship ≠ better than old one.
tardy arch
it's kind of obvious they'd be stronger. unless you're saying they'd be weaker? (lol) kaga BB isn't that strong but it makes sense as to why she's a different ship. again the new ones look exactly the same as the originals so it'd only make sense their stats (and possibly skills) are different, otherwise (again) they'd just be skins. unless this is another kaga BB situation and in that case, lmao what happened to trying to accurately represent historic ships?
dreamy loom
okay, you are thinking they must be stronger or weaker. why? do you think making a somewhat similarly strong ship impossible? talking about accurately representing historic ship? uh, bruh, have you seen the shipgirls in question? the idol part to be specific?
again, if your argument for they are obviously going to be stronger is only otherwise they'd be weaker is.... how is that even a valid argument?
also, the new version being weaker is still valid conclusion. just as valid as they are as strong, just as valid as they are stronger.
tardy arch
ya they could be about the same as the original ship. but if that's the case why not make these skins. that's what i was getting at btw, if they were gonna be equal then they might as well be skins unless we're dealing with another kaga BB situation where the ship changes classes. (like from CV to BB) and as i said if that's the case, then lmao what happened to trying to represent historic ships? cause afaik cleveland was never a DD or a BB irl.
i'm not gonna argue this anymore. not like it'll matter. devs already made up their minds. 
(fr not gonna argue on this. it's late and this isn't the chat for it)

narrow sage
I'm inclined to think that they're more niche because this event seems made to filler to do during the EN rerun period.
No idea how this'd fit into EN's schedule though barring during the next JP Mikasa rerun.
And blatantly powercreeping the original versions rarely goes over well; Granblue does that too much as it is.

So... I looked a bit at the Polaris versions. If they come as new bloody ships.... I will honestly be angered. It seems blatant that they are new versions without any reasons. And if they are new ships and there IS Gascogne..... Why the hell does that make sense with her being a PR? HONESTLY. Why not simply make it an event where the following happens? You can earn some of the skins, and if you happen to build the original within the rate up, you get the skin as a bonus? If they are to be new ships, it is worse than WG's Back Friday ships. Less justifiabke and you don't even have a bonus for having the original. Plus if they turn out to be better than the original.... Powercreep anybody?
And after digging a bit more it seems certain that they are new ships. I am honestly disgusted by this move if it remains as is. Not only due to HOW it is handled, but also because you are straight up copying ships to fill them in. Come on! And if we wish to actually get them, guess what? Dockspace is the primary monetization method of the game. I absolutely despise this move as is
Unless these are to be reintroduced as skins you will ALWAYS be criticised for this despicable action existing
Azur lane is the only gacha I have played up to this point, because it has been fair to its players. That seems to be slipping away with the collab.
You are virtually guaranteed money for dockspaces from your players and this happens.... Shame
I like the overall monetization as is now and I usually strongly support the devs of this game... But this time I will be a counter to them for as long as necessar
devout nacelle
Can we please get actual in game moderators? The amount of daily degeneracy i see in the game chats, (at least on my server, Washington) with emote spam bots, racism, and disgusting commentary Is insane, the report system is useless, I’ve had numerous players reported with both belbot, in game reports, etc, and the same players being blatantly racist and spreading degeneracy are still unpunished and continuing to do what they do almost every day.
Note: what I mean by degeneracy is talking about how much they’d like to “f loli’s, ships, stick their xxx in xxx” etc, that’s just an example.
brisk pecan
@shy pond It's implied that the Muse skins have experimental "new power" attached to their rigging so that's why they're new ships
shy pond
@brisk pecan Still, that does not make sense. Either they will be worse due to different skills, so dock clutter. Or they will be instead better, so powercreep
In either case it is an absolutely and wholely unacceptable decision
gray sonnet
brisk pecan
i hope it power creeps some of these ships, for example Hipper, if I'm being honest with you.
but it also first has to come to EN anyway, we have no idea when it will.
I also just don't agree with your stance of alt ships being unacceptable, if you give them a different niche from the original ship then I think it's fine @shy pond
The issue would arise if they filled the same niche but one was more powerful than the other.
shy pond
@brisk pecan They could have used this opportunity to add either more new ships, or these as a skin. I don't mind putting new characters in, but variations on old characters? Come on... And what if those characters get a retrofit. What then with the collab ones. Can two characters which are the same ship be in the same fleet?
Furthermore, if one is more potent than the other, what then?
How do you fix an innate discrepancy to the rules set out by the game itself?
naive cobalt
I mean, we literally have examples of this in the form of loli ships
while you can say it's "more acceptable, less important", whatever
point is precedent already exists and did so for a very long time
zeppy fills different niche from Graf
Belette is completely different ship with different skillset and roles
Akagi chan does her own things as well
Kaga works from her
you can use both versions together iirc
in terms of fleet power they considered to be the same ship
precedent already exists and rules already know how to treat them
while I dislike this route as well - i just think it's lazy, but that's it
you making a mountain out of a molehill
brisk pecan
It's lazy but it's not necessarily problematic.
shy pond
@naive cobalt The problem is, those ships are visually distinguishable from the original beyond a fancy dress. So this is moving the precedent further
honest rune
Loli and class are different versions of the ship they are based on, these Polaris version just seems a new ship just for the sake of it, they should be just skins or all of them should be a new ship too, still I think they could done the collab in an another way
shy pond
^
naive cobalt
being loli or not being loli doesn't change anything in terms of what you criticizing
shy pond
None of them are a different class (I was fine with 4 Kizunas), nor a visually distinguishable character. Furthermore, the split makes it seem far more as a way to get a character version injist for the sake of a character version
naive cobalt
powercreep is irrelevant to their sprite
shy pond
Visually distinguishable @naive cobalt... that is my point
naive cobalt
that is purely aesthetics and again has nothing to do with your previous points
shy pond
These just are new skins masquerading as extra ships with new skins. What if the skills are better than the original? People will complain? What if they are just worse and take up dockspace. The people who have the originals will complain as you have released ships worse than the original
No insults, but you seem to be wllingly overlooking the fact that I have a problem with them being visually indistinguishable beyond a fancy dress
hazy marten
Agreed with yellownomad. The loli ships also have different personality from the original e.g. zeppy and lena. But the upcoming polaris event "new" ships personality are pretty much the same compared to the original judging from the ship introduction tweet which means all their appearance change can be achieved through skins.
I just hope that this won't happen again, since it's already way to late to change the polaris event
naive cobalt
because it's not the point I'm addressing
I said in my initial message that I agree it's lazy, but that's about it
brisk pecan
If the skills are better than the original (won't apply to Gascogne lets be real for a minute) then yea maybe a handful of people will complain
shy pond
Seems like clutter... Look, give us free dockspace for all of them and I will shut up
honest rune
Making a the loli version a skin isn't a good idea, depending how do you want your game, still why "this random skin" is now a ship, personality wise will be just like any skin with some changed lines, nothing special besides skills, stats too? If they are the same of ship they base on that is a big problem
brisk pecan
But some of these ships are flat out bad in the first place, like Hipper, so powercreeping her isn't a huge loss.
Powercreeping Akagi, Cleve or arguably Sheff then yes maybe they'll be a bit on the strong side lol
naive cobalt
we have suggestion to increase dock space to accommodate growing char pool
brisk pecan
They'll probably have skills related to this "muse" power of theirs, that much is implied.
shy pond
@naive cobalt Not that It is a monetary stream. But when you give us the same character, same personality, same classification and just shifted stats and skills, there is a problem.
brisk pecan
What if the personalities actually end up being different to some extent?
shy pond
I have often been an ardent supporter of the game as you may remember. But I will stand against this almost no matter what
brisk pecan
Ultimately if this REAAAAALLY bothers you, you can opt not to roll for them.
It's not the best solution but they won't roll these back now, it's too late.
naive cobalt
I still fail to see how it's fundamentally different from loli ships except "they look slightly more differently" and why it matters how they look in terms of skills and powercreeping and free dock spaces
brisk pecan
In the future I agree, we should generally steer away from alt versions.
shy pond
They still exist and you may encounter them
brisk pecan
I don't mind them all that much
I hope this Hipper is better than current one, that's all.
shy pond
The main issue is that this fully contradicts the game's lore unless written well
naive cobalt
I see main issue changes quite a lot, huh
shy pond
Loli ships have an actually meh reason to exist. Same as Kizuna
small vine
Loli ships have a lore behind them, akashi fucked up with a loli beam
shy pond
That is the pure one
brisk pecan
these ships also have a lore LOL
small vine
So if it is explained and given a logical reason then its fine, but honestly...idk how i feel about it
shy pond
I am not for this idea unless it is done REALLY well
brisk pecan
the reason that their rigging wear those earphones is because the rigging has new experimental "power"
we just dunno what that is.
naive cobalt
anyway, while I'll bring this up to devs - I don't expect anything to change, since event already planned and on its way, and if they repeat it in the future or not will prolly depend on success of this event more than anything
shy pond
It opens a galaxy-sized can of worms and seema like a hasty cashgrabby decision to me
hazy marten
I edited my comment since apparently some misunderstood it
small vine
Which makes no sense, since skins would grab more momey
Its probably them just experimenting with new content
winged compass
not if people end up whaling more on the cubes to roll for em 
brisk pecan
it is
small vine
How tf are they gonna explain gascogne tho...
shy pond
If there was a better way of introducing them-like being a transformation of your already owned character (same ship), it would work better
small vine
They could borrow honkai impact 3's toggleable augment feature
Which changes skills and stats
shy pond
Look, if there is a need for an analysis of why it is a bad decision, just tell me. And I wholely agree with Tatoe on this one. It makes FAR more sense and would actually be a really good feature enabling further expansion even, if done correctly.
brisk pecan
I'd like a HI3 toggle augment feature in the future
small vine
Could use a polaris core to toggle ship idol augment gotten from a mirror sea idk
brisk pecan
Yea it'd be a cool idea but I still think it's too late now
As that'd require a whole new system to be made in like a week.
hollow grail
Actually is there more that was confirmed other than just "being treated as seperate ships"? It might not be a regular build banner then
naive cobalt
yes, it's construction
brisk pecan
It's an event banner, they've got some sort of story as to why they're different ships.
hollow grail
Ahh, well, will just see how things go then
naive cobalt
it might have some different rules I guess, but nothing indicates as much
so wouldn't consider it really
brisk pecan
Either way, I'm excited for Polaris and can't wait for it to come, it's the most exciting event in a long while for me.
hollow grail
Looking past the, less-than-ideal parts, I do like some of the designs so far. But I will definitely most likely run into dock space problem when the time comes, and wouldn't be able to afford the skins either
twilit pawn
tbh i quite like this polaris event
it is similar to a big event with limited construction + bunch of skins + shop/trophy/etc
the regular rotation of big event having X faction is becoming stale
additionally most big event skins are great but are limited to the event ships which has around 3-4 that are weak/filler ships
by going with idol theme or other theme big events, it gives skins to more popular / regular characters 
naive cobalt
well, nozo, argument is that these polaris ships should've been skins instead of separate ships, don't think anyone has issues with idol skins for other ships
twilit pawn
i see
well i think having alt ships are both good and bad
good
- let's certain ships to be more viable (power creep), i know power creep sounds bad but let's be honest who wouldn't want Hipper/Sheffield to be buffed. Even for Akagi, i see the merit of not being force to sortie with Kaga. But strong ships like Cleveland and Gasco shouldn't have alt version (in my opinion).
bad
- dock space (tbh i don't really care cause if is not alt version and new ships, it will take up dock space anyways_
- new skins for alt version (?), this is my main concern since they are limited it means no new skins for them and their outfit can't be used on the OG version
- i would love if we have a system that allow swapping alt version with OG version. I don't mind spending the cube to get them but able to switch between them would be great. I can see how it is not as profitable though cause "alt characters" means spending resources to level from 120 again + rings
flat vector
Well, while you're feeding the devs everyone's complaints, give them my regards that it seems great.
I like the idea of having different ships entirely for the girls I already like. Fielding two of my favorite girl and filling different roles sounds great if you ask me.
Getting Gasco in any way, shape or form is something I'm all for. It's just a fun event, and if people want to complain about how it's someone who's already released, then I feel it's a bit silly.
Like Restart said, it's no different than any other ship. Complain about dock space or power creep all you want but that's inherent to the game already and would exist if any entirely new ships came to the game.
So all in all, keep doing the good work, I like it.
Also, complaining about lore and historical realism seems a bit crazy in a video game where thousands of tons of steel is turned into anime girls with giant boobs.
naive cobalt
also game already breaks its own lore on constant basis if we being honest
twilit pawn
i agree on the lore part as the kid version's lore is just so convenient that I feel lore is there for what the devs want 
honest rune
@twilit pawn Buffing ship by giving a new one isn't a solution to me, they should just buff the base version or if it that bad like Warspite and Sandy giving a retrofit, Hiei for example is pretty useless even with a single retrofit she is pretty underwhelming at least I still didn't use her becuase I don't have her, 20% proc every 20 seconds is pretty low and the effect isn't that good
celest abyss
Hiei doesn't have a retrofit 
twilit pawn
the problem with retrofit is that it gets more and more taxing on new players
winged compass
they just made the game for the waifus and then added some story n lore here n there to sate people wanting an story
twilit pawn
and i understand why they stopped retrofit as much compare to before
also i remember before retrofit was more of a according to history thing (?)
now it just seems like they do it for popular character / which artist is free
as for the kongou sister
i remember reading about they get retrofitted from BC -> BB in rl (?)
so i would assume there is going to be a ijn event for that
like i mention earlier
the perfect case would be after you obtain an alt version
the OG ships let you switch forms between OG / alt and you can change skins between them 
viscid pine
class ship could be shown in the info tab
shell bramble
Like, have it say "Fletcher-class Destroyer" somewhere on there?
viscid pine
is a little change
shy pond
If a character is underwhelming and thus a new version of that character is better wouldn't it be better to look at why that character was bad?
flat vector
Just b/c something is better than something else doesn't make the original bad.
shy pond
I don't disagree. I never said so either. But I think your logic behind new character=That character is fixed is flawed
flat vector
I never said characters should be fixed by releasing them as a new unit
shy pond
I like the switching suggestion. I mean, yes, it is a new feature to be built rapidly, but if we are being honest, it is far more appealing than having literally the same character in a dress and leaving it at that. Why exactly should you need extra dockspace for Sheffy or Cleve to put on headphones?
flat vector
B/c it's a new ship all together, the same way you'd require dockspace if this was an event with characters not named Cleveland
shy pond
It is an already existing character though. If I go by that logic, I can make a fleet consisting of two characters with all slots filled
flat vector
What's wrong with that?
shy pond
It is utterly ridiculous. Anyways, my point is that since the characters are built from the same historical ships (Without them having their personality completely reworked like the lolibotes), there should be a character switching option instead for them. It is a brilliant suggestion for things to not be changed too much, but still provide unique models based on characters already in the game
flat vector
I don't see why it's ridiculous unless you just don't like there being more than one of a character b/c that's how you want it to be.
So you're okay with two of the same ship so long as there's a mechanic that lets you swap between them?
shy pond
since they are one character? Yes!
flat vector
But you have to gacha for the other girl / form, whatever you want to call it
shy pond
Why not? it is a subset which can drop as a girl. you can have only one of them unlocked, or only the other
flat vector
So it's okay to have two Sheffields that you have to gacha separately for, so long as there's something in the game that says they're linked somehow?
faint hinge
I have an opinion, have while it is mine

if you want to just argue with each other - you free to do it elsewhere, maybe in DMs

I got a gameplay suggestion: A wait command of sort for your fleets on the map screen.
Would be useful for when you want to lure the enemy Elite / Siren units around, either to a specific fleet of yours or into submarine range. Could also be used when you want your submarines to hunt for every nodes within' their range without having to move around your fleet back-and-forth, which can potentially lead to accidentally clicking on an enemy node you don't want them to fight on.
narrow sage
My issue with the event is that it's basically a smaller thing upsized just to fill time/sink cubes and it could be the start of a slipper slope; the lolis don't come up as much because they're clearly for children's day in JP/CN, not a super regular thing. This risk the slipperly slope of alts and all that comes with it.
I mean GBF's been sort of infamous for "Oh we could fix this character but let's just make it another version instead"
naive cobalt
we don't even know when event is coming tho, nevermind how big/small/whatever it is
o, guess it was announced to "next week"
point still stands
narrow sage
It's suggested to be of some size since there's 5 stages, and the mention of rewards; so akin to the Kizuna Ai event potentially.
naive cobalt
Kizuna event was a major one, so not sure where "smaller thing to fill time" comes from
I get the concern, but that's complaining about aspect we don't even know about
narrow sage
said smaller thing UPSIZED to fill time. As the whole Shipgirl Idols thing easily sounds more like a reason to have skins and a mini event than something with construction/etc
and given the situation in JP/CN (quiet period as they wait for EN to have their reruns), it's easy to figure this is something done as such just so there's something going on while EN has the Chessboard rerun.
naive cobalt
o, guess I misread what you meant, sorry
narrow sage
it baffles me as skins would make them more money than building related expenses
narrow sage
not like dead time is an entirely bad IMO; for those with less time, it'd allow them to make progress in the main story and for those who have hit the very end, a typical event wouldn't be enough barring certain rewards. (Most people that complain about no content tend to be unicorn chasers)
what part was that to?
velvet adder
To having completely dead time, like breaks are good and all but having nothing else meaningful to do than lvl ships 120 is not fun
And CN/JP has already had a lot of dead time cuz of EN
narrow sage
not like events would solve that as I've heard a number of times "events have s*** experience"
velvet adder
Major events have fine exp, events like spee rerun don't
Like U-110 was good since it had decent exp and dropped purple plates
I know that people like me are a minority
narrow sage
From what I saw on that tweet, SP5 in the upcoming event would be good (its lv is 80); but a rather vocal one at times, perhaps causing something like this.
velvet adder
Well for me the amount of exp doesn't matter as long as I'm working towards something meaningful, like a new ship or equipment
narrow sage
On the Muse ships I would be surprised if they were useful in general given the context behind this event (I figure they'd be sort of meme in nature just so the event doesn't rock the boat during this desync period/not piss off long time players)
By that I mean they'd be akin to the 4 Chinese DDs; pretty good all together but no standalone T0s
velvet adder
Doesn't matter to me if they aren't useful, new things are new things
And something to work towards
But my point is that completely dead time is fine, but that leaves older players with nothing to do
Some older players would like that but some don't

I would ask that if you're planning an extended discussion, you bring it to another room or DMs

Yes, but that amount that has been given since the start of the game, is no longer enough for the number of ships that the current game has.

And actually, now that I think about it, I'm not sure what's broken about that considering you'd have level 10 skills at the end of the day, just at a faster rate. And it gives the rare books some value since you might get more out of them instead of just crafting them into purples

Just wanted to ask, why is the German event rerun right after Mikasas? A lot of people are struggling with either hiei or mikasa and spent a lot of cubes on them. Why not wait a week or two so we/they can stack up on cubes?
- its such heavy event on cubes
velvet adder
Because EN is trying to catch up with other servers. And we already had like a month without any event builds

Alright, am I the only one annoyed with how tiny the auto/manual button is? In 90% cases it's impossible to hit in one tap. If devs, let's say, tripled it's lower dimension, it'd definitely stop being such a pain.

barren roost
Well, I'm ready to believe that's no issue on tablets. On my LG G6, however, it's really tiny (add to it that the button is smaller in new UI than it used to be). And it's not like it would obstruct our view so bad, or at all even (looking at you, impossible-to-turn-off screen wide chara portraits). Another annoying issue is the white-tinted targeting reticle. Now this is a really bad idea because explosion splashes are also bright white, so I can't see a thing with all the on screen action while aiming a second BB shot.

@viscid pine iirc CN server used (or maybe still now) give gems in monthly login rewards
vocal venture
I think my suggestion got missed but I wanted to rephrase it anyway:
It would be nice to have in the gear loadouts to double tap on a saved equip in order to quickly equip said item (or the next best upgrade in inventory like when you load a full gear setup) unless there isn't any in your inventory.
dreamy loom
isn't that's how the ingame gear loadout menu doing already?
vocal venture
for individual equipment, though. Not a full set change. Like say, for example, I can't have situational equipment saved (with blank slots present) in loadout 3 and try to have the situational equips replace their respective slot(s) without having the game unequip gear in the respective blank slots.
It'd either be better if we could quick equip individual equipment, or have another loadout set or two.
velvet adder
since the DST change in US is going to happen next week and right now EU people are dealing with shifted reset time due to different change dates, is it possible to never change the reset time which is likely to make every servers broken for a day again? CN and JP servers never have this to begin with since they never observe it.
errant tusk
reward seems a bit low for a 5k 5cube project esp on the ship bp side, i'm guessing it's the minimum amount you can get. i'd personally like to see the lower bound set to 5 bp to correspond to number of cubes spent.
velvet adder
also the entirety of southeast Asia never observe DST

Would probably be for the best in everyone's case, devs and players, that they just forgo the time change.

Hi guys, since im new Member so im not sure if it was already asked before but there are 2 ships that im interested if they Will make their way in the game
dreamy loom
what 2 ships? if it's ships that is already released in JP/CN, they will get released in EN too, sooner or later. if it's other ships, then sorry, nobody but the dev (maybe not even them) knows.
wheat yoke
Hmm, was it already recommended to remove t1 and t2 equipment boxes in the merit store?
I honestly never found there charm in there considering the merit points are sorta limited a day and you can easily farm those in story maps and even buy them with coins.
It would be nicer to place medals/coins/oil or even t5 equip boxes (but really expensive) in there.
T5 boxes can be a gift or be regretful anyway, and can be limited with "x times per month" if you guys find it too much in buying it multiple times in a month.
dreamy loom
that's.... a nice idea actually, remove T1 and T2 equipment boxes from merit store, replace with T5 (the black/rainbow) box
since let's be honest, the T1 and T2 equipment boxes are really only there to pad the list
wheat yoke
Indeed
dreamy loom
and people who have stockpiled merits because of whatever reason can now have something worthwhile to spend their merit to
wheat yoke
It's just, really no reason why.
You can get t1 and t2 boxes are early as w1/2, and you are bound to grind those maps repeatedly if you're new.
If you're doing PvP, you would immedietly buy purple boxes over those 2 anyway cause of how cheap they are and 50 merits per battle is already enough to suffice in buying those.
And yes, you can buy those boxes to merge them into t2 (if you're starting at 1) then T3 next, but let's be real, you would never use your merits points for that since T3 boxes immedietly would be much better.

There is a card for improving Merit Shop https://trello.com/c/uatOerRh/471-improve-merit-shop-items
wheat yoke
Thanks Pachy, I'll give a quick skim if I can see what I can add or suggest more.
Yep, the general idea is that card.
T1-t3 boxes are useless and have 0 purpose to be there and should be change.
The card suggested (by word specifically): ASW Boxes, Oil and coins.
I can add T5 Boxes, PR1 and PR2 BPs, Cogs, Food, core data in the suggestion, and that's all.
I'm also thinking maybe adding a wide variety of ships there as well? Like previous event sr ships so they won't pollute the build pool much. What you guys think of that?
Maybe not limited just to srs as well, but I wanna hear some thoughts.
dreamy loom
that sounds nice. it's a method to keep merits useful, and keeping the build pool being overly cluttered in the future. might fuck over KR who doesn't have PVP tho. but eh, they're already fucked anyway with not PVP in the first place
wheat yoke
(added some more additions in my previous recommendation)
Oh really? Well, maybe kr can get them in pool instead. I'll ask something in gameplay help quickly first.
Uh well, I have 0 idea how KR works, but this is my addition to the suggestion overall. I'm open for thoughts. (and feel free to @ me)

ignore KR in this suggestion IMO
they're already this weird stand alone group anyway

@rare jay is there anything regarding updates to game news ship introductions and patch notes in feedback
Both need a serious revamp, nobody wants to see "grace your dock" shit in a limited character count, they want to know what sweets she likes eating, or if they play baseball. Theres literally nothing for the community to hype and discuss apart from vanity physical features unless they star in an event.
As for patch notes, pictures are constantly out of order, formatted badly to make it hard to scope out information you need easily and arent detailed
For just one, one post, try changing up the content engagement strategy and see if you get a more positive result
small vine
Im an ex-jp player, i moved to en in the hopes that the transparency and effort offered by the team in the initial release gave way to a bright future. The l2d videos and amvs are great, but your game content and information is just as important in community engagement
naive cobalt
there were plans to make patchnotes more detailed by moving them to website, but it was postponed due to some technical reasons and I don't know current status or plans
out of order part is purely on discord tho afaik
on bot to be precise
velvet adder
Would it be possible to just use JP/CN preview lines in EN too
naive cobalt
?

They need to prototype the detailed patch notes with discord. Put the detailed patch notes in plain text in discord, give other social media accounts the standard patch notes

Azur Lane staff will take disciplinary actions against any members confirmed to be involved in RMT transactions." From #623397799723270144
If I sell my account and then get found out, can they even do anything besides banning the account?
Fair enough
dense ridge
Suddenly i just realized, that my account have been promoted to a guild master. Will there ever some feature for guild to be added in the future?. Like some large scale fleet battle using like 6 backline 6 frontline vs 6 backline 6 frontline from another guild. or some exclusive shop with its own guild currency for exchange gears resource .etc, or borrowing some of the shipgirls from other guild member, adding guild hall so each member could put 1 - 3 shipgirl for extra exp or mood, custom it with contribution points from active players doing sortie.
Sorry a bit long rant from me and probably bad english. I hope some feature will be added in the near future
naive cobalt
devs announced some plans for improving guilds, but we don't know anything yet
honest rune
Why even have Firepower stats in Repair Ships, They don't have any weapon besides AA guns, Yeah could be useful for hard mode requirements, but how use them for that 
dreamy loom
They'll probably just slap a new shop that's only accessible when joining a guild or something equally banal to improve guild.
Can't wait until they re-add the ability to quit guild on your own tho
winter lance
You know what could make guilds viable? Co op in the game. I realize that's ambitious to make in a mobile game, but yeah, just throwing that in there. We could have some co op only stages, each player takes 2 vanguard ships + one main and it could be fun.
dreamy loom
Would be a nightmare on connection issue though. And matchmaking too.
vocal venture
Probably the easiest thing to implement that would encourage guild activity is to have guild milestone events that run along each major event for additional goodies: coins, medals, cubes, etc, with a grand prize at the end being the coveted equip of the major event (like the rainbow magtorp for DC) or something.

i think that's the point of war archives being set up that way. the dev don't want to make it efficient

fw rerun was never announced 
formal oyster
Well it wasn't but wouldn't it make more sense to rerun events chronologically ? We got Fallen Wings more than a year ago now, DC was pretty recent in comparison.
naive cobalt
and technically event we had was a rerun from the start
it wasn't rerun on jp either since then
formal oyster
Well we only had one iteration of the event on EN, so which version we got isn't really relevant
naive cobalt
it is, since reruns introduce new ships instead of being literally same but again
the version we had back then is "up to date latest version of fw"
formal oyster
Is there new ships in this DC rerun that are new on other servers as well and are being released in the meantime ?
naive cobalt
if there're plans to make a rerun - we don't know about them
formal oyster
Well whatever anyway, what's done is done, but I don't quite understand the logic behind all this.
naive cobalt
"rerun" is a different event with new ships
there's no "fallen wings rerun", so we can't release it
basically is the logic
slate monolith
We really needed this event because of the two subs U-557 and U-81
formal oyster
Well that I do understand. I'm just saying that we only got one iteration of Fallen Wings on EN so far. So either a rerun or just addition of the ships to permapool for people that missed the event would be nice.
And since Fallen Wings happened before Divergent Chessboard on EN, well it would make sense that we got FW first. That's how I view it.
naive cobalt
I get that logic, but we also cannot do things and events that aren't on other servers 
fw that we got is the same fw other servers have and so far it wasn't archived
so we can't do anything about that
formal oyster
Welp 
Thanks for the clarification though.
slate monolith
I think DC was first in the first run on the other servers then it went to FW
If anything we might get FW added to the war record, or we will have a rerun of it then it'll be in the war record
formal oyster
Well that's why I was wondering why we didn't get the rerun of the rerun version for FW instead of this DC one. And the order is not really relevant since we got FW before DC on EN anyway.
So unless we got the FW event in the first place because the others servers were having the rerun version at the same time, or because other servers today have also something tied to this DC rerun, the logic behind this is a bit weird, but heh
slate monolith
Yeah we're playing catch-up while being synced with the other two servers apparently

It's weird to be synced on new events but also miss events sometimes, or run behind on events such as the new Idol event, the reason I say run behind is because I highly doubt EN will miss Polaris.
I just hope it doesn't become the next Mikasa.
solemn citrus
I’ve just come to accept the “we want to be synced soon” mindset as a lie, or with huge grains of salt at best. Since they refuse to give us events/skins we miss by days, constantly skip adding boats that were just introduced as permanent constructions, random skins like Sirius’s swimsuit, etc.

Yea, I'm just hoping we don't have to wait like a year to get Polaris, that's all.

@errant tusk It's really weird, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be there

All the more reasons to check with staff
errant tusk
welp, well on the wiki the screenshot of the exchange shop for JP's rerun shows the skin so I'm hoping it gets added for EN as well
narrow sage
It makes me wonder because JP never had it added to the core shop unlike CN (after Deutschland was made permament in it separately/earlier than DC's archiving)
Also in terms of general event age, DC is older than FW
It's just that while EN got FW early in their life, JP got it much later than CN's first run. I suspect a reason why they didn't run FW is they want to get at least one "archived in JP/CN" event out of the way before doing something that can be rerun in all 3 big areas (CN/JP/EN, KR and TW are doing thier own thing)

Suggestion that will almost solely help people that do nothing but play azur lane:
Let players increase their oil and coins capacity for gems (probably something cheap like 1000 oil/5000 coin capacity increase for 50 gems)
celest abyss
Do you mean increase softcap or hardcap?
The numbers you see are softcap at which you cannot get more from academy but can from other methods
Hardcap is 25k oil/600k coin
dreamy loom
i don't think, increasing oil cap would help people who play nothing but azur lane
like, when will they even stock too much oil?
tardy arch
the hard cap is more than enough. i play AL 90% of the day (while also multitasking other games with AL having high priority) and i barely drop below 10k most of the time. and coins just aren't an issue, at all.
dreamy loom
scratch head how do you do that? ultra low cost fleet?
tardy arch
pretty much ya. i'm mainly grinding for weapon parts or ships so it doesn't cost too much oil. even when i need to use a full fleet my oil will just barely dip below 10K. (i'm also running commissions 24/7 so it helps to help the oil count up.)

It would be great if we can guarantee certain ship after certain number ship build ... it really frustrating to put so much effort and get nothing in return....
shy pond
Due to their actually decent stats and quite a useful statline overall, I suggest the following then: The ability to use skins on characters from collabs if they clearly are the old character with a reskin.... This is due to the fact that you PAY/complete tasks for a skin for said character and thus you should be able to use said skin on what is in all essentiality just an alternative version of said character without any notable differences
This does not include Kaga as she is a different class in both instances

huh, i remember they manage to single out who experience a bug or whatnot and can give out compensation only to those who are affected
shy pond
Bot it. Quite easy IMO. Check for shop availability and amount peeps have
dreamy loom
i don't believe they can't check people inventory and see if they have 3 rainbow magtorp or not.
it's either that, or they make everyone not having 3 magtorp got send one extra magtopr
shy pond
Based on that you can single out who got one through a bug
ornate basin
shy pond
Kawa, please add my suggestion
ornate basin
I will add it when I am no longer a busy 🐝
shy pond
At least so it is on the radar. I would be grateful
tardy arch
either option wouldn't be doable by humans. and i don't think they have a bot system like that in place. if they did missing items and the like would easily be fixed.
shy pond
Thanks. Please don't forget this one as it concerns a controversial decision
dreamy loom
Again, they've done a bug compensation to those who are affected and only the ones affected before
ornate basin
why are we having this conversation here?
dreamy loom
So where should we talk about the game in hope of giving it feedback?
Or discussing about the merit of the feedback?
ornate basin
I already answered your plea regarding the bug
tardy arch
suggesting what the devs should do about a bug isn't really feedback. they'll handle it their own way regardless of our input.
(i expect coins and oil compensation or free magtorp)
dreamy loom
Glad to see that you have the same opinion as me. Wish you read it before acting as if you're against my suggestion
ornate basin
tardy arch
well if you just want to talk about it then #al-general or #off-topic
rain mulch
Seems interested event in CN/JP
But i really, really never like this copy paste ships
Dev is just like copy paste the worksheets like easy, release it, and just let the players role the RNG for this copy paste ships
Sorry
Why not just introduce like Transformation System
- its like a retrofit but only have 1 upgrades, and that require event currencies, items, etc
- after changing to that transformation, you can get back to original ship, and back to transform again for free
- levels is not changing, except stats and skills
dreamy loom
Uh... Their statline are different. And their skills are quite different too for the most part. If you ignore the name and art... They're basically different ship with some overlapping functionality (like Sheffield one).
So... Calling it copy paste job is a tad... Erroneous I think?
rain mulch
Bonus :
- just dont make the Transformation system so p2w
This is just for event transformatiom
They are exactly same women, i dont like it
tardy arch
they're different ships. they have different stats and skills. otherwise they'd just be skins. so no it's not a copy, paste.
dreamy loom
This is a bad precedent for future sheenanigans like this mind you. But it's not a simple copy paste job...
rain mulch
So if i have game company, and i release character John
I can just make different char, same man
But different costume + different stats + different skills?
Like John The Superman, Quiet John, Strong John, and Bajigur John???
Alright....
dreamy loom
Look, this shit is basically lolified ship, but in idol flavor instead of loli.
rain mulch
And i make all the players pay for the 4 characters
tardy arch
yes because it'd be your game and you can do what you want.
winged compass
you're just describing honkai third
rain mulch
And ruining other ppls life is freedom choice
I see, then why rules is everywhere?
I hate this
I want kill so much ppls i want, its what i want
But then...
Why its prohibited?
rich bridge
whats the drop rate for any ship on the event map?
tardy arch
there are no drop rates for ships.
peak vapor
Well that turned dark
(Drop rate is probably/ I assume low if its on event maps, so yeah)
dreamy loom
Look, blacktiger, I get your frustration. I agree that the Dev should really not do a lot of these same shipgirls, different ship stuff.
I'm on board with you on that!
Just, don't call them copy paste job. And this kind of stuff do have a legit benefit for some people. They now can deploy 2 or 3 of their favorite shipgirls in one fleet. @rain mulch
tardy arch
no. the drop rates aren't public and the devs aren't going to release that info. the best we have are guesses and even those could be wrong.
dreamy loom
@rich bridge if you are collecting yes. This Is #gameplay-help topic btw
peak vapor
Ok I checked and it seems only 5 ships are now its own idol ship.
And the rest are just skins.
(I just need to be clear on this)
rain mulch
@dreamy loom and that is why, i say Sorry in my first feedback, i understand
But i dont like it, sorry again
But its ok, this is just critics, whatever the dev will make the game like what, im just following their content
If the content is very worth it and beautiful, i like and follow
If the content is like EA, ubisoft, WG, honkai impact, then i step back
Sorry again for third time
dreamy loom
@rain mulch understandable. The only point of contention to your opinion IMO is the "copy paste job"
There's merit in your transformation gimmick idea, though IMO that would be difficult to add and would not let someone deploy say, 3 Cleveland (normal, loli, idol) or 3 akagi. Which is definitely one of the main attractions for this thing.
I still have trust in yostar since they always made sure these "variation" ships statline different enough and with different skills and thus niche and role than the original one. Hilariously often making them less useful to be deployed with their alts.
cinder cipher
learned that gear sets for ships are saved locally, would be nice to have them same to account like loadouts since there's no way to transfer gear sets from device to device either
and i wanna feel like i didnt just waste hours of my life 🙃
peak vapor
Yeah actually now that I think about it, yeah some of these extra ships are very niche.
(Graf-chan was pretty good, surprisingly, just saying.)
narrow sage
so far even now there hasn't been cases where a new alt outright did the old (coughsummereuropacough)
rain mulch
@dreamy loom yeah, getting same ship, but its different stats, different character, is so shocking for me
Since 3 same ships but different stats looks funny and memeable
But the coins, cubes, RNG, my time is not memeable for same ships but different character, skills, and stats
Maybe only me that complaining about this
Because many of the degens doesnt understand
Like degen like me
Only degen like me complaining about this*
tardy arch
others have said they don't like it either. please continue this convo in #al-general , dm, or #off-topic
narrow sage
^^^^^^^^^^
rain mulch
Then, i step back from this chat, sry make the chats drowning
narrow sage
Also I was thinking on the skins for Muse ships thing and how it pertains to BB Kaga, namely the notion of sharing skins wouldn't make sense for her because how different in personality she is (definitely a different swimsuit)
tardy arch
as i said the drop rates aren't going to be released. it's all rng.
rich bridge
well im geting a hole lot of no drops
dreamy loom
@rich bridge please bring this to #gameplay-help
tardy arch
then you're simply not getting ship drops.
the people in #gameplay-help are gonna tell him the same thing.
dreamy loom
But it won't clutter this place. I've asked him to bring this to #gameplay-help in my previous ping. Yes, I know I'm making this longer. Sorry.
static needle
It will be very unfair if other people has 3 rainbow magtorps because of the bug. Rollback those 3rd ones 
tardy arch
well it kinda depends on what the devs response to the bug will be. if it's considered an exploit people are (possibly) gonna get punished. and a server roll back would not be a wise idea.
static needle
They can rollback specific items or points like in PVP, they should be able to do it for items
no need for all-wide rollback
narrow sage
in programming it's not always so simple.
static needle
so do we let them get away with it or ban them
tardy arch
if they do it could possibly roll back all of the rainbow magtorps. even the one people got legit from the first event run.
people aren't going to get banned over a bug. most likely nothing will happen to them and everyone would just get compensation for the bug (like always)
static needle
they should rollback that one extra rainbow torp in whatever means
makes the limited label useless for events, might as well dump it in core shop
narrow sage
that last bit might be something for JP/CN to do as since DC is archived I dont' think there is a way to get more of that particular weapon.
ornate basin
telling staff how to handle it before staff handle it will be futile
shy pond
@dreamy loom Statlines are: -3fp, -5/10% HP. that is all. Pretty copypaste I think
narrow sage
so Muse Akagi has -3 FP?
shy pond
The skills are different, but they fulfil a very similar purpose
And Fishman, Akagi has lower AVI
narrow sage
I figured that but I had to make the joke, but unlike the originals there's a stronger push i general towards fielding them all together.
honest rune
Gascogne Muse really suck for that "copypaste", third lb as I read yesterday was stupid so stupid, and because she is a PR she has 0 luck and there is nothing you can do
narrow sage
given Polaris' nature as an upscaled filler event, it's only natural to expect quirky if not also a bit flawed kits as they were seeking to make useful/amusing units that wouldn't rock the meta boat
shy pond
Exactly why I argued for the transform feature so they can be a) incorporated into the original and b) switched to their muse ver at will
narrow sage
that'd be rather complicate and given the history of Y/M and new things, we'd get a few maintences in the same day as a result of it.
faint hinge
At least in GBF, you can use ANY skin/art on any version of that character regardless of rarity
green atlas
Is it possible changing the In-Game background by changing some files in the game files without geting banned? I dont want those NSFW art shown up when im playing in my classroom or at public
narrow sage
It helps that that was part of the game's inheirent design, that and Cygames has far more money/seasoned programming vets for such things.
tardy arch
@green atlas no it's not. any modded game files could get you banned regardless of intent.
ornate basin
modifying game files is a bannable offense
its been suggested to disable screens or disable nsfw screens
green atlas
Thats too bad, how do u disable screen besides lowering of your screen?
tardy arch
you can't.

I heard that the one loading screen with the succubus's was removed and I'm sad about it since the artist worked hard on it and even won the contest fair and square. The point is that I hope that you reconsider putting that loading screen back in the game because it feels unfair that the artist put so much effort into making it and even won the voting contest only for it to be removed without warning just because a small amount of people shout the loudest for not liking it. That's all and thank you for taking your time reading.
neon grove
Pretty disrespectful to remove it after it was added. I don't support any form of censorship for this game and this sets a bad precedent regardless of what you think about the picture.
fading gate
Hey Yostar, how about you turn all the ships on the game into shadows. Also, make all loading screens just black images. That way no one could possibly get embarrassed about playing AL in public. Perfect solution!
ornate basin
please keep memes to a minimum
mystic forge
just here to say that the succubus loading screen should be added back, its my favorite one and we've had equally suggestive ones like the onsen loading screen
hollow grail
There were a bunch of feedbacks requesting for the removal of said screen beforehand. An option for selectable loading screens would be the more ideal step to take, and it has been suggested already.
https://trello.com/c/l1WdLybr/416-disable-or-allow-players-to-select-loading-screens
tropic stratus
People voted the image in to begin with. So people complaining overruled a public vote?
timid nacelle
Quite frankly there have been far "worse" loading screens and for more nsfw ones, notably the eldrige in lingerie one, the submarine cameltoe one and the bathhouse one. Removing this one is at best pandering and inconsistent. I do not buy people complaining about it being NSFW when there are images and art in this game that would probably land you socially ostracized. Whole lotta lolicon shit you can start removing first if that's the issue.
tropic stratus
Yeah, this loading screen was already "approved" since it was available to vote, so something got changed. And I'd rather not have any other ones removed just because someone doesn't like it. The 'select loading screens' option above is the only real long term solution.
regal coral
Question.
grizzled lake
very disappointed at the loading screen being removed. We voted on it, and as kenadian as stated we have had FAR more suggestive loading screens in the past.
regal coral
Was there any info on why a certain loading screen was removed without warning. This is from the artist directly: facebook.com/piukute123?tn=%2CdC-RH-R-R&eid=ARB6hO4tQmDyURJtPS4Dr508uP0Brt2yrDqm-BIWPTkb1ZQrt0oReOE5ect5Xh8susDkq-hp7oAI_dVs&hc_ref=ARS0u9pgQPJLkSWLJEXwbLKjm1PBQNcApX3-iPoknZSqD6o57safd8ZGpq8y_ZhIgiQ&fref=nf // Hello, I'm piukute062 the one who makes the Halloween loading screen. Some of my fans told me that my work has been removed from the game.
I know someone hates me a lot and some like me. I'm sorry for making the art. It was some high techniques I have ever applied to an Art Contest. I have contributed a lot of high-quality Art to Azur Lane community but unfortunately, my recent Art isn't suitable for you. It turns out many players don't like it so it got removed is reasonable.
I will wait until Azur Lane staff tell me about this announcement.
I hope you are satisfied with the result I hope you will love my other works and ones in the future.

Alright ill write an essay for the loading screen and my suggestion as a result
I believe that the suggestion to implement a toggle for the loading screens should be raised to a much higher priority
glass edge
small vine
People are clearly unhappy and demonstrating that it is not only unfair to the artist, but that people voted for this art and now its being removed
olive cedar
It's a situation that needs to be rectified.
small vine
While the idea of a toggle has been on the backburner, with this it needs to be a much higher priority
It doesnt have to be a complicated toggle either
olive cedar
Just a simple one where you pick if you want all the LS or just the safe ones
small vine
Simply put in (limited loading screens) and everyone will get the hint
worn parrot
I am agree with this, a simple gallery would resolve all the problems and there is nothing to lose for that
small vine
A gallery is slightly more complicated to implement, having 2 sets of screens which are called upon depending on a single toggle is much more immediate and less buggy
olive cedar
It's really unfair that the artist had his work removed after winning fair and square and it's also unfair to the fans that voted for his work
still owl
Holy shit, the succubus loading screen was removed? Guess I'm not supporting a game that bends their knees to SJWs. Spreading this information to news outlets for realization.
celest abyss
With Tatoe as I commented before
Also as a artist, granted not a experienced one, imo is kind of a dick move to remove ahead of time without notification to artist
small vine
Rather than expressing outrage, AL just listens to their community
worn parrot
If it's another attempts of the SJW, I'm just gonna drop the game, thoses parasite pretend to be fans and long time player just to ruin our fun if we don't shout louder
small vine
So instead of boycotting we can actually BE HEARD
olive cedar
I already spoke a bunch about this issue on Twitter but just wanted the staff to know that the community isn't happy and that it's really unfair for the artist, a simply toggle would fix it. Hopefully they'll listen.
small vine
A gallery is a bit harder but a one button toggle really isnt
still owl
Fuck the toggle, just don't play the game if you're a pansy playing in public.
olive cedar
I'm fine with accommodating to the needs of different people but give them the choice
celest abyss
I don't like lewd screens in public sure
Still a dick move to remove what people vote in & not notify artist 
I'd rather have toggle instead of just pulling screens
And if the devs don't want toggle rhen don't suddenly pull
worn parrot
I just hope everything will work out in the end, so far I've heard that the community is not ignored on this game which is great in this time and age 
olive cedar
They usually do, hope they'll do it again
small vine
They actually might have removed it coz of app store requirements
We kinda reallly dont know why until they make an announcement
olive cedar
Doubt it, we've had similar ones without issue
celest abyss
Google Play at least is more permissive, but I cooould understand if it's Apple being Apple considering KR iOS has extra censoring because Apple
I'd still want notification to the artist ASAP though, amd trying to avoid doing that in future where the artist find out bc fans & shit that was voted in gets nuked
Especially egregious because we've had outright cameltoe/panty shots that weren't nuked before
olive cedar
We had the loli subs loading screens and skins that are borderline nsfw
This isnt some new level of lewd
small vine
At the end of the day this issue is dividing the community and it needs to be actioned
celest abyss
olive cedar
Indeed
small vine
And rather than compensation, transparency is what is needed. What happened, why did these actions get taken and what in the future will be done to ameliorate the situation.
olive cedar
Compensation? Not necessary, Rectification, definitely

Can't wait to get this news to these gaming news outlets

Dunno why mods just let this insane conversation go on

i bet kotaku would pick it up @flat vector

I have been thinking on the subject and I think a good way to resolve the problem(possibly best but unlikely) is that they give the artist who won another chance/re add his picture and add the ability to select loading screens

Oh ._. Sorry

We never hear anything about any of the suggestion.

I don't get the difference, but the person who suggested it was VERY insistent it's different and should be added separately
ornate basin
it is different
nocturne panther
The first is a fine-grained selection of loading screens, the second is just an on/off switch for NSFW ones
naive cobalt
I can argue it's not, but don't wanna
ornate basin
its just to reduce nsfw images for a “public/sfw” mode
this one affects shop skin icon as well

theyre asking for a toggle
first card is asking for a whole gallery for users to select whatever they want for loading screens only

Kawa / Toaster, can you confirm for me real quick that DC shop is still a little wonky and the suggestion is not to buy stuff for the moment? Or did that get resolved?

Any word on whether they’re gonna remove that absurd gigantic titty loading screen?

I know we’ve had suggestions for loading screen selections in the past. I really wish that’d gain traction, it’d solve so much of this.

I remember yostar promised no censorship whatsoever but its more like "we get whatever JP gets" - which is uncensored. I dunno about server exclusive art though...not a fan of super giant boobs, but i dont want this to set an example and start snowballing until we become like CN server which is censored

Looking at some of the other comments, what seems to set this picture apart from others is the outrageous proportions. It’s fetish levels of gigantic breast. I don’t think any of the larger girls even remotely have chests that big. Lewdity aside, I kinda find it grotesque from a proportionality viewpoint.

loli cameltoe was ok but giant boobs is not /shrug

Please note the pins, stating that we are waiting for any official word from the devs as to the cause. Extended discussion on the subject would be better done in another chat room.

Is there anyone I can message to get an official comment?
I'm writing a story on it
Posted in general about it too, so my dms are open to staff / decision makers, thanks

why are there no trebuchets in the game?

Because it's AL not AoE2

AoE2 was amazing

I dont know if this has been brought up officially in the past, but I second the implementation of a method to select which loading screens appear. at the very least, there could be an option to toggle between artist works vs the faction feature loading screens. this would allow artists toi still be featured while allowing those who prefer SFW pieces to have a tamer loading screen.
just for clarification, the "faction feature loading screens" im referring to are the ones you see at the beginning of game launch, with a small blurb about each faction (queen elizabeth, bismarck, etc)

It's been brought up in the past and quite frequently in regard to recent events.

yea.. i think that would be the best middle ground - give the shikikans of culture what they want, while allowing those who dont want it to disable if they so choose
grave kettle
yea the trello card for that was made way back in january
honestly have no idea why devs refuse to make it a feature
what's the harm seriously
gray niche
i would imagine it's probably on the back burner right now since it's not a bug/issue w/ gameplay, not a gamechanging addition, and there's not like, an overwhelming demand for it from the whole community
grave kettle
there was always a thread about that every month so its prolly just either devs are too much of a degen or don't play their own game
