I know that i have posted something similar here, but nothing Has changed since then. Once again AL chat showed me that IT is bigger crime to use Sandy emotes, than to speak about doing "lewd" stuff to children. I guess report system is unfixable at this point...

don't know if it's been suggested but it'd be nice if we had a daily quest for clearing the SP stage in EX for events - you can make the reward rubbish (maybe a few hundred coins or something), it'd just be a reminder to clear it daily
on an unrelated note, i would also like an indicator for the lecture hall when there is enough proficiency stored to do a full 12h lesson, as well as when the dorm food bar is empty

Hello, i would like to report that there are some cheaters in game that i would like you davelopers to ban

Is "2/19" a typo here?
@still agate worth mentioning that there's no reason to report them. YoStar knows and every event publishes a wall of shame of banned cheaters
They always check the top rankings

Yeah, just a typo if anything. Should ideally say 2/13

Scrap gold item boxes from inventory screen without opening
its annoying to open them to scrap the gear when it stacks and doesnt say New! on them
thick flower
ok can we have a new daily quest the now daily quest are lame and mostly not important for veteran player my suggestion is we add a new daily quest that give 1 random gold print per 1 mission this would be very epic and momently we have 10 PR ships so lets say you did 3 daily prints mission and you get 3 random gold prints it wouldnt make levelling gold PR ships ez but it would help in the very long term i hope azur lane take this suggestion in mind
velvet adder
Move sp extra to the main screen or have it somewhere i can see it during hard mode events

Possible to add the ship current mood to this screen during battle?
Due to fleet lock, its hard to track a ship morale if it doesnt show it
So red dot here are the unhappy face when their morale drop low

will they ever bring back old ships like the anniversary taihou or the limited time ships cause im playing this game as a collector it would be kinda disappointing if i could never get them and might make the decision if i were to ever play again

all ships will eventually come back at some point, whether through event rerun or permanently added
e.g. taihou is already made permanent in cn/jp

Does someone know why the game would constantly crash on an old OS10 iPhone? Game often freezes and insta-shutdowns while it's loading graphics, not sure if it's hitting a repairable patch of bad data, hitting some kind of fatal error from the old OS, or just loading so much into memory the phone chokes on it and dies.
void schooner
AL is known not to be very old phone friendly, so if the phone is old enough, it may not have enough memory to accommodate it.
gentle mango
@void schooner Figured as much. Figure I should be glad it can get through a fight without crashing (usually).
Although it crashing from loading Juustagram is a bit much.

Wrong channel sorry
worn hinge
Suggestion : New mechanic -> reconsider merging identical ships in docks, in meaning ships that use different armaments but are the same ships such as new muse armament ships and their original version ... It's same ship. Mechanic could work on system of changing mods/armaments in dock, if one commander dont got both ships only the one he got would be available to choose from, if they got both ships or even more in future he could swap their armaments. This could even still hold 2 or 3 or more dock slots if that's the whole point of this nonsence. This seems more lore logical also reducing the loading of dock with endless small portraits of ships
grim flame
armaments as in gear?..
worn hinge
practicly its still gear but we are talking here about the fact we got bb kaga and carrier kaga, and now those muse ships which are the same ship just different rigging/armament, which brings to thing this will only increase in future so as things goes suddenly your dock will have multiple identiacl ships there, not talking about dupes
grim flame
different rigging means a completely different skill/gear/comps tho 
worn hinge
thats why you would swap em in dock instead of having 2 different clevelands which are in fact still the same ship
which in this pace ull sudenely in future build whole fleet of same ship... but by current mechanic u cant use dupes
thin turret
Few questions to devs, if thats possible.
What is actual point in guilds?
Any plans on reworking pvp and core shops? Adding new stuff on rotation?
Any plans on adding more cats and making them more viable?
Quick select feature for fleets?
raven crater
This is a relatively minor complaint, but it would be nice if the girls' responses to the commander's juustagram comments didn't leave the thread open to additional conversation. For example, Cleveland responds to the "It could work, maybe" with "You really think so? :o" to which I want to respond something like "yeah, I believe in you!" or something like that. But I can't. So, if it was more like "If you think so Commander I'll keep trying!" then that would sound more like a natural ending point to the conversation and feel like a more natural interaction
flat vector
@thin turret this channel isn't to directly speak to devs, it's to submit your feedback to them only

lol. fr though would like the stage resized to be smaller so it can fit or a different layout that'd let it fit in. though i'm pretty sure it'd have to be resized.
i was able to make it fit but i had to delete the stage that comes with the theme, the drums, keyboard, and the guitar.

More hard mode completions per day?
south night
There used to be 6 hard mode try a day tho
Hey reduce the entries, but more reward per clear

Having more hard runs would mean less rewards per clear, so personally I'd rather keep it as it is, don't wanna spend 15 minutes on hard mode daily. ( Especially since I'm farming 9-4 right now, it's enough of a pain as it is )

With the upcoming of new smartphones using 18:9, 19:9, 20:9 aspect ratios. I feel as if Azur Lane needs to start implementing ways to support phones that have these screen sizes. Even though I got used to the borders on the phone I'm using, it'd be nice if those went away.

Can you make sure we are getting enough time to get enough points for event? We only got to the 26th I done ex node and we only get 150 a run outside ex, these costs seem a bit high for it
void schooner
All depends on how many runs a day you're doing. If you've done the math, you can figure out what you need to get every day until the 26th to be able claim whatever you want from the shop. And based on whatever you have going on in your life, you can determine if that point total is feasible or not. Naturally, though, some people have more time on their hands than others, which isn't AL's problem.

Saw the announce of Avrora's new skin and felt the urge to respond.
Dear developers, please kindly hear me out.
After thorough research on Avrora's history, I found no evidence whatsoever to give her a skin of a captive prisoner/slave.
Instead, it was quite obvious that she could be a teacher, a lady ambassador, a leader with a big red flag and a princess behind the glass wall. But she never was a prisoner. Yes, she was laid up, but come on, that goes for a whole lot of the ships in game that were not destroyed. Becoming a museum ship like Avrora is the closest to "live happily ever after" for a warship. And it's nothing like being a prisoner or captive whatsoever.
So please consider changing that skin to something else. There are some ideas above.
And thank you for all your awesome work on this wonderful game!
Your sincere Russian fan.
naive cobalt
we don't take feedback on skins
ornate basin
that and unfortunately we have absolutely no say on the content the skin maker decides to put out whether historical or not
flat vector
It's just role play fun anyway
tardy arch
both of those and to add to it, the devs already paid for the artwork and i highly doubt they're gonna pay for another art to replace the skin. they'd literally be burning money at that point.
tame walrus
well despite your "research" I don't think you looked hard enough, as during WWII she was stripped of her guns and docked where she was repeatedly shelled without any defence
she got her "happy ending" later, but she certainly wasn't treated very kindly during the war

don't worry we're all playing our part 
ornate basin

well despite your "research" I don't think you looked hard enough, as during WWII she was stripped of her guns and docked where she was repeatedly shelled without any defence
@tame walrus I'm perfectly aware of that, and yet it doesn't fall for such artistic interpretation whatsoever because come on, then AL would be all about girls in chains, blood, guts and tearing anthropomorphic ships apart.

QoL suggestion: every daily reset, maybe make patch note notice pops up first, and then go to daily rewards
small stuff, but still a suggestion, just so I can still hear secretary ship greeting me
velvet adder
my suggestion is not to show the patch note once we've ticked the "notified" box until the next update's notes - i don't know why we need to see the old ones every day
raven crater
I'd like to express my discomfort with the new Avrora skin. It's beautifully drawn for sure but selling the idea of chaining up one of your ships against her will is kind of... creepy, to put it gently. It's very reminiscent of non-con/r*** and while I'll definitely acknowledge it's not literally that it's close enough to make me think of it.
If we really want to use "imprisonment" as a theme for a skin, I think a "princess locked away in a high tower" type skin would be much more appropriate than a "abused ship girl chained up in jail" type skin.
sick hare
hallow bluff
i kind of agree with what navi said but the art is already done so....
raven crater
Oh I'm not for a moment suggesting they pull the skin
But like, basically I just wanted to say that if they consider doing this again to like... not.
tame walrus
well the text related to the skin makes it feel like it's roleplay anyways but it's certainly extreme compared to most skins
raven crater
Even if it's roleplay, I think "princess in a high tower" would have been more tasteful roleplay than "abused prisoner," while still following the general theme
boreal marsh
jp translates the caption to "I am Avrora, a princess of the dawn met with a terrible fate trapped in this tall tower ..." so.....i guess it's something that requires some context from its quotes
naive cobalt
well, this skin obviously won't be changed, but we'll pass this feedback
raven crater
@boreal marsh Something like a "fantasy princess" would be more tasteful though, like a Rapunzel sort of thing (long hair optional). The jail type setting + the chains is a bit much for my comfort
faint hinge
meh, I don't mind 
maybe I'm a cold hearted sociopath
near quartz
it's a good skin, I mean it's nothing compared to hearing Amagi coughing all day
ivory frigate
I also do not mind the skin i think it's nice and different. Having the same kind of skins all the time can get boring. Also the game is tailored to different people and tastes. If someone does not like the skin they do not have to buy it. Sales will most likely determine whether we get another similar one anyways so 
sterile flame
so i know, many player must have complain but... i think Avrora skin is going too far. you can say "but that's her story, she was lock to the port and she become a museum". But that's not a reason to make her suffer like that. It's not because she is chained (we are used to this kind of skin, for example Gneiseneau and her "ropes") but why make her sad like this ?it looks like she is not consenting and it's very annoying. I dont really know how explain this in english, but well, that's just too much. Who can enjoy a secretary who's sad and who is injured. I know it's a game but well. Thats too much, imo.
minor robin
well, this skin obviously won't be changed, but we'll pass this feedback
raven crater
I don't think that invalidates the criticism though, and adding voices of agreement will give you an idea of the extent to which people don't like it
naive cobalt
no, everyone coming and echoing the same message won't help really
humble ruin
Its a pretty decent skin, just not for my taste. And can someone stop #al-general from going NTR mode 
raven crater
But if only one person gives their opinion and then you say "ok someone has already said that no one else can express a similar opinion," then later look back and say "well, only one person had an issue with it so it's not really a problem" it seems like that would misrepresent the situation
ivory frigate
The majority are not going to voice their opinion either. Tailoring to a minority also does not help
naive cobalt
that has nothing to do with it
feedback will be passed along regardless
if you agree with the message - put a reaction to it, not repeat the same thing in different words making everyones job harder
since it'll only clog the channel and motivate others to clog it further with "well I don't have any issues" (really useful btw 
)
raven crater
But then the message gets drowned out and no one can find it to react. Would you consider making a #player-feedback read only channel similar to #known-bugs for people to upvote/downvote feedback?
gritty torrent
I thought y'all don't take feedback on skins anyway? 
raven crater
They don't take feedback on "hey add a skin for X ship." This feedback is more of a general design feedback
naive cobalt
but then the message gets drowned out
it'll drown less without this whole convo if we just stopped at "we'll pass the feedback along"
naive cobalt
Would you consider making a #player-feedback read only channel similar to #known-bugs for people to upvote/downvote feedback?
we might consider using system similar to how it works on ako

and the feedback is?

just say it in a single message
round wedge
For what? For the past few years the game has been up?
naive cobalt
so what's your feedback?
ornate basin
“fix cheaters” isn’t feedback 
round wedge
Why hasn't the issue been addressed for the longest time the game has been up
raven crater
It always gets addressed though, they just fix it in waves
round wedge
We need transparency on this issue that has been recurring on every event
naive cobalt
because new people cheat with new hax?
it is addressed all the time
raven crater
People use modded clients, what else is new? Then they get caught and banned
round wedge
Not just put up some "wall of shame"

cheaters will find any way to get through and break the game
its like how bacteria works

you can't possibly expect the devs to stop cheat mod distribution, can you?
round wedge
Cheaters not being purged on sight is also a problem don't you think
naive cobalt
no

if the rank gives you reward, that'll be a problem. this is made just for flexing rights

we gave answer regarding cheaters and thats it

I mean, they're put in shame and banned
raven crater
@naive cobalt I'd support adopting AKO's bug report system as a method of submitting and displaying feedback to be voted on, but even if we stopped providing additional feedback about that original issue now we've had two more issues enter the channel and the Avrora skin discussion would have been long gone anyway
naive cobalt
because now you just ranting and making smug comments
round wedge
Okay, I'll just leave, I feel like this channel doesn't really help with venting out
ornate basin
this isn’t a vent channel
regal elm
it's not a channel for venting
round wedge
I'm simply just venting out on an issue that has been present since the game has been up
regal elm
giving feedback and venting are two different things
round wedge
No appropiate channel for venting on problems that existed since the game has been made? Okay then
ornate basin
you can vent elsewhere
but here we are asking for at least constructive feedback that can be relayed to devs, not mindless ranting
naive cobalt
@raven crater it wouldn't be an issue under ako system since volume of messages still massively reduced and repeating same feedback is less of a problem
round wedge
How about those players I reported in the past
Who has still been evidently still playing
ornate basin
banning has its own process, it most likely will take longer than you personally want
raven crater
I think the response to your feedback would be "Yostar is actively addressing cheating in ranked modes to the extent they are able by banning users in waves"
If you want to vent, I'd maybe suggest #al-general but keep in mind that if you go on for too long mods or others may ask you to stop
round wedge
Even though one of them almost scored 13k in chanllenge mode?
Which I have reported from months ago?

You could use Belfast's system for feedback also, just implement different form questions (and it would post as the small embed as well)

naive cobalt
we were considering using belfast for feedback, but it's on-hold for now
unsure if we'll come back to it or not, but it's something i have in my mind
round wedge
Right
gritty torrent
I suggest devs to implement a system of instantly banning players who can kill the boss through impossible means (like, say, in 5 seconds, or a score/commander level threshold).
The cheaters are painfully obvious when they do it so the false positives shouldn't be a problem. At least I think so.
round wedge
Since there's no medium where transparency about the due process is made
How would I trust the system
naive cobalt
then don't, it's your choice
there won't be constant reports for every step if that's what you asking for
anyway, this discussion is closed
round wedge
Okay, I can't leave comments here how pissed I am about how you people handle your game
viscid halo
@gritty torrent afaik bans are manual, and i doubt the cost to benefit ratio of implementing such a system will make sense to the devs.
round wedge
Cool
naive cobalt
i said it's closed
round wedge
If you're just gonna rebut about how ex ranking is just flexing, you're fucking wrong
Since that's not the point
I have already mentioned here in what ways those players can abuse the hack outside EX
Which isn't fair for the general populace of the game
Think about it, someone clearing chapter 13 with a 4 oil fleet
Do you think that's fucking fair?
I feel like I can just shill using hacks for azur lane because you won't get detected long as you don't top rank EX
Since it was the only way to "purge" them
I mean someone who scored 12.9k on challenge mode hasn't been banned
What's the point
clear heron
A reminder, the people here aren't actually developers, most are just volunteers that process the feedback for them. While staff does read this chat, a majority comes from what's been reported to them, and as such reiterating points that have already been submitted, or venting, does little.
round wedge
I mean
Feedbacks could be cherry picked
But how do I know that without transparency
"Just trust the system"
clear heron
They don't, really. most of the time they get pushed to the feedback trello as soon as a new one is posted, or noted as being alraedy posted. They also do read the chat.
But all that is currently being accomplished rn is yelling at the messenger.
round wedge
Does this mean the devs doesn't actually process all the feedback "they" put into trello?
Devs must be unresponsible then
How about the reports on belbot
How do you know they are processed
naive cobalt
those are to inform staff about issues
what they do with it is their discretion
clear heron
Because they get posted to the Trello. if you have any complaints that hasn't either already been posted to the Trello and have been told that it's been posted, it's likely that they've been directly informed.
naive cobalt
player reports are not sent to trello, they ping staff responsible directly
round wedge
Well then, its either
- the reports from cyc's bot isn't reaching the staff since triage is doing jack shit
- staff not doing jack shit with the reports they get
But since there's no transparency, how would I know that as a consumer
"trust the system"
👏 👏
Wait, maybe you're telling me its actually possible for an HQ 50 commander can score 4.5k on ex
Or someone getting 12.9k score in challenge mode is possible
ornate basin
may we keep it feedback please
round wedge
Is this not feedback?
ornate basin
this just seems an attempt to debate with people
round wedge
Is an appropriate channel made for this?
ornate basin
we dont have a debate and/or vent channel
round wedge
I think a feedback channel is where players could tell their concerns so they can atleast feel like their voiced is being heard
gritty torrent
@viscid halo Sure, but they're clearly making EX/CM a consistent thing every events/seasons so the current way of handling things (banning at the end of the event + a Wall of Shame that helps no one) should be improved, no? What's the point of making a game mode when they don't even bother fixing a persistent issue that's been discouraging legit players to play that game mode?
I stand by my suggestion.
round wedge
But for this particular one, you just shut get people to shut up and tell them to just "Trust the system"
clear heron
Pleae keep feedback to a certain level of modicum and professionalism, in any case.
There isn't really a need to respond to everything as to defend or attack certain points.
round wedge
I have been complaining in this channel for months
I'm tellin you the banning and making that "Wall of Shame" just tried to put on a band-aid on a problem where the damage has already been done
viscid halo
@gritty torrent sure, it's valid feedback imo, maybe the feedback team can take a look at it and add it if they feel its appropriate 
round wedge
And you think that's a proper resolution for cheaters? Fuck n9
Also, what I'm doing here is totally not feedback, its just a follow up on feedback I made months ago
I totally did not voice my concern months ago
In which I see, no visible changes in this current event
Which will naturally, leave me to think that it is being ignored
Come on you guys aren't this stupid

All they have to do is port over that ban system they use for the chat into Ex mode. Problem solved! That ranking board will be cleansed every hour on the hour.
tame walrus
I have an actual piece of feedback, although not directly related to the game
Make the wall of shame less of a call out. as it stands, it puts the names of the players in a list, and while that doesn't matter for some, others on that board might be trying to get their name there as a form of attention. if we change the list to just be their UIDs (like honkai impact) that could deter a few players who were looking for attention.
it won't stop all of them but a few less would be nice
void schooner
Honestly, don't even need that. Just the total numbers of banned people in the servers would be fine.
naive cobalt
we suggested to remove wall of shame, but staff decided against it
I'll pass along the suggestion to replace it with uids

Because the EN team decides to arbitrarily hold back content for ships we have for no reason to release at an unspecified time in the future, maybe, with no rhyme or reason and all we can do is wait. It’s not like they’ve made it known that they want to keep EN and the other servers on the same page and skins are one of the many ways they refuse to do that on a consistent basis.
round ember
They said that skins will be on the same page with CN/JP though with obvious exceptions like ships we dont have etc. etc. which is not the case for Ardent cuz she's almost in the game for a year.
Which is really weird
tame walrus
when you phrase it like that it sounds unnecessarily malicious, but I think it's been brought up before
round ember
from what I saw that was the last message about that and it's been silent since
solemn citrus
It’s a point I’ve brought up almost every patch for the last couple of months that they keep doing. Malicious or not, it’s true
And if they plan to continue doing it, they need to adjust their public stance so people can stop expecting things that they’re not going to do but have said they would

Suggestion: Make T3 books for tactical class actually relevant.
T3 books are "hard to get" and supposed to be especially for the offensive one you burn through them like candies at kids party.
Its not normal that i can match the exp given by T3 with T2 books. Even if i don't match it cause of the exp boost from matching skill to book, the difference is a mere additional T2 book.
Either boost the exp of the T3 books to 75%/100% or reduce the time to 4/5/6 hours so they are actually attractive to buy. In the shop, there's no point in buying them at all when they are in the rotation cause youll get some in the daily missions and even you can still use T2 cause they're very similar.
T1 books should be like cognitive things or priority ship blueprints where you always want more than you have because it is simply the best. Like gold boxes or T3 enhancements parts (everybody i know just instabuys them every time they drop in the general shop because they NEED them badly, whereas i don't know a single person that regularly buys T1 books because it doesn't feel important at all).
You should be able to have a ship go from 1 to 5 in skill with a T3 book or make the T2 actually worse not just on paper.
In a single day i can (playing a bit) use 2 T3 books. That's 16 hours of wait for 1600/2400 exp.
In a single day i can (same) use 4 T2 books. Thats again 16 hours of wait for 1200/1600 exp.
But T2 are so easy to get, they just flow while playing casually so you are never bothered to go for T3 unless you get them.
T2 books comes from anywhere in the game pretty much and you get them faster than you can even use them.
T3 are rare but the benefits don't outweigh the negatives (do i wanna spend 3000 gold on 1 book when i can just use T2 twice in the same amount of time for simlar exp and getting them for free?)
Make T3 books relevant and buff them. (you can even craft T2 books... make players want to buy T3 books and look for them like T4 boxes or cognitive thingy)
void schooner
I will assume that all mention of "T1 books" is supposed to be "T3 books".

I agree that T3 books need a buff, but not with your reasoning
simply put, from T1 to T2 is 3x for double the time, and T2 to T3 is not 3x, but still double the time https://puu.sh/FcLyO/5d32be8a20.png
just seems weird for them not to be linear
south night
You should know that T3 book sacrifice efficiency for time
tame walrus
a common problem with this game
south night
It doesnt need a buff honestly, being faster really matter more
Like, book is technically infinite, i have never run out of them
But times isnt, and time are more valuable
Like, you are saying you want to use T1 book just of better efficiency?
tame walrus
I just think it should follow a linear scale
south night
Nah, it just not gonna make sense
tame walrus
since when do linear scales not make sense
south night
Cuz the whole point of high level book is for time
I will say time matter more than efficiency when its come to book

The prison skin for one of the new Russian boats is much better than for Avrora. She's smiling and isn't as battered. Makes me feel much less uncomfortable looking at it and gives off a less abusive vibe.
Anyway, just wanted to mention that since both skins are prison skins, but this one is much more tasteful (IMO) (Also spoilering the image in case people don't want to be spoiled for the EN announcement)

Can someone explain to me what actually happened? Why is the Soviet event associated with the prison (skin and dorm)? Is it really all that you had enough imagination for? You could do so many interesting things. Dorm for example: Red Square or the Kremlin or the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. With skins it’s even easier, an avrora on a bear or a gaunt drinks vodka, folk costumes or something else with stereotypes as you like. But what was done is just awful. Why other factions have bright, kind and sweet "themes" and Russia has everything about prison. I do not understand. So many questions and so few answers ...

we can wait until 450
velvet adder
an option to use ammo or not 
so i can save 1 ammo for boss
or "inferior ammo" or something 
or maybe splitting an ammo into 2 and having 75% debuff instead of 50%
or maybe we could deploy a cargo fleet that resupplies nearby ships for oil cost
i got lots of great ideas hire me

cargo fleet as mobile restock mode would be something, yeah

could just make repair ships into a seperate fleet like submarines where they can carry 3 ammo and a few repairkits

Hey, I have a suggestion, we all know the rng for drop ship...... and heard horror stories about how unforgivable rng is. I make a humble request, if for any reason rng refuses to give sr ships as drops, use a milestone as a bypass, once or twice based on what sr ships you got on that node. These would be one time use and tied to how many times you attempted the boss. I know it may seem selfish, but given that rng can be cruel, a more forgiving method for those looking to get most of the ships available in game could be considered. No collabs, no event ships, just what's in game. Sorry for the paragraph. What do you think?
This is only for story ships, event ships I dont know.
flat vector
Safety nets for rng has been suggested before
void schooner
But the "safety net" for drop ships in story mode is that you have infinite amount of attempts at them.
frozen girder
@void schooner That is true, doesn't mean rng won't give you and endless run of greys blues and purples.
Heck, i heard people went a year on the story nodes without encountering a gold on 3-4
I'm not saying your wrong, while i do have many tries, Rng can just never give me the gold for a year if it doesn't feel like it
void schooner
That is unfortunately the consequence of having 2 gold drops on one map. They split the already low chance of dropping between the two.
frozen girder
Exactly, that's why we need a net
I like the fox duo, no matter if one is bad because of the drop rate
flat wadi
I farmed foe them for a year, a safety net for events would be nice but for regular ships like that to me would feel like a slap in the face

sinful zenith
@charred matrix the first paragraph is for you, well, for others too
Аs you put it, "three people" are only those who came to the discord. There are also dissatisfied people on reddit, but they don’t write here. And who thought what the Russian community feels? Most are not just angry they are furious. Disputes among the Russians have not ceased since the moment the skins were shown. So if you do not see the fire, this does not mean that it is not there. At the moment, the whole forest is burning (this is a metaphor).
I understand that someone is tired of this "whining", but AZ is a game where skins are not just a costume section, it's more, each skin is part of a character: replicas and emotions. And it’s painful, very painful to see the character you love on the chains behind bars that are still being bullied (Pamiat Merkuria). Especially in comparison with other skins.
I could understand one skin on Avrora that could be used as part of a fairy tale, but a whole line of skins is like overkill to me. I do not write this because I'm some kind of hater, but because I love this game. I hope you really get feedback and pray that at least something has changed.
minor robin
We have already taken note of the feedback and will relay them to the staff.
However, please understand that it's extremely unlikely there will be any changes made to these particular skins due to how close it is to release

Devs, are you aware that the report system in AL chat is abused? Sometimes I write something absolutely harmless or posting emoji, and after some seconds I already muted for nothing. I've seen many players are complain about it, too. It looks like someone hacked the chat and injected a bot, which reports a random people. I don't think this is some stupid sect having fun, because it's working too fast. I know it's not real to make a premoderation of reports, but at least it would be nice to have a possibility to appeal one's mute, what could also help to catch the culprit by the hand...

A lot of events in AL have been suffering lately from a lack of compelling reasons to run them besides points for some shop items (other shop items just not being worth it even).
The EXP gain and equipment drops for this event are quite bad (unless you missed Jean Bart's gun but then you still only need one) and I found myself quickly burning out from the lack of satisfaction in clearing SP 5 combined with the low currency return.
Another way to address this would be to have some more unique events. IIRC in, the Kizuna Ai event you wanted to go take out the elites first to weaken the boss, or go hit switches to reveal the way to the boss. Something like this, where the boss is inherently very powerful but can be weakened or debuff utilizing map triggers would make events more strategic and engaging, but this mechanic doesn't really make much of a return.

velvet adder
Since we will be having another event right next to current one, would the devs kindly increase the amount of oil and coin compensation? Normally we would have a week break to resupply and restock, but back-to-back events made it impossible. A lot of us who were grinding extensively are now low on oil (and coins for construction).
tame walrus
on a related note to farming, can the devs avoid making the highest farmable stage give low amounts of points
flat vector
The highest stage always gives the most points though
scenic flower
I would suggest adding this option for filtering
@velvet adder I want also sorting by Alphabet, Morale and Affection
tame walrus
yes but 150 per clear is unacceptably low
flat vector
I mean, it is quite low. Are you just asking to have to farm less in events?
tame walrus
I think they should rebalance a bit
it should be noted this is a collab and not a usual event but still annoying
flat vector
It's not a collab though
tame walrus
it's not 
south night
Im pretty sure those are just excuse for you to be lazy
flat vector
Who would the collab be with? These are all AL characters.
Anyway, lots of people have asked to make grinding easier. I'm sure they analyze how long they want people to grind for every event.
Either way, they have the option to see / read what the suggestions are.
south night
You also have SP and daily, which give you point too
tame walrus
before, you would only need like 40k to clear an event shop (been awhile since we've had one like that) and rewards were decent. now there's more rewards, but other than the new SP stages, no changes to how much you get from farming
combined with increasingly heightening hard mode requirements, it's either yeet your oil to get 50% more points than was needed before, or spend an exorbitant amount of time doing a lower stage to save oil
the SP stage is certainly appreciated but it wasn't enough to make the difference, especially when most events we're only farming for points, since only a few events have actually good stage drops, and none of them have any exp worth mentioning
to be frank, lately I've been excited to see events end so I can get back to farming things that I feel I get my oils worth out of

Thanks developers to have transformed this game in an hentai, and please don't excuse yourself with:"sorry man but we have to do money" because you can easily do them without spamming skins or characters almost nudes or with stupidly explicit phrases like taihou.

Construction is getting more and more ridiculous. I got out of 200 builds by now 10 akagi and 2 clevebro muse ships and nothing else.

Could something please be done with the ex leaderboard? It's filled with cheaters every single time and nothing is done about it until almost the whole event is over. It's one of my favourite part of the game since it's about the only thing in the game that is actually challenging, yet cheaters hogging the leaderboard really kills any interest in me trying to get a highscore. I guess what I want to say is that it'd be nice if the banning could be done more proactively instead of letting it fill up like it is now. I don't know how it is on other servers but on Sandy I can count at least 28 cheaters and most of them have been there since the 1st week of this event
neon kite
It's not like I don't know about the reporting thing, but the problem is still there that even with reports, it takes until almost for the event to end before they act on it
also it's well known that there are cheaters every single time, reporting shouldn't even be something needed for them to know about it since they pretty much expects it to happen.

Cheaters get banned after event and creating a new account. Lifecircle of cheaters

fun leap of logic there
especially considering there's an article on the class, just not individual ships themselves
rocky sparrow
It sounds like paranoia ... What is the point of doing this with the cartons of the last century?
i.e., The Russian wikipedia is poorly maintained due to interference from the Russian government
@raven crater

I hope Azur Lane will make next event about Holocaust or Nanjing Massacre. U know that about 1.5 million people were killed and tortured in the Gulag's camps, right?And somehow developers found it appealing and funny.

@rocky sparrow I have no opinions on the matter, I was just explaining Kawa's point to Restart since Restart seemed confused

Going to drop this in here as well, using glow effects with red, green and blue is a bad idea.
As when those move at speed, even with colourblind modes on some phones, they have a high likelihood of being hard for anyone with a form of colourblindness to see as they are the most common colours people have issues with. Admittedly RGB is handy and easy, but glows tend to fall in the hard to see category for a lot of people.
For example in my case, at speed I can't even see the green. Though I've more or less figured it out when they appear and don't seem to have found a red yet, which would also give me trouble.
mental stump
@ebon tartan Arknights is much better so far. The only things Arknights is lacking is a colorful dorms.
U comment just remind me about Anime Expo talk where devs spoke how AL as a game for everyone. And they ended up as explicitly game for perverts.
charred matrix
its not the censorship, its just lazy maintenance
russian and ukrainian wikis for example have much less articles and those are often have less info
ebon tartan
@mental stump thanks at least i'm not alone

I wonder why on the Russian Wiki, less information about their own ships. This is not the first time I have noticed this.
Cause no one give a f**k about write anything at the wikipedia, c'mon.

Calm down, I only meant information about the ships on our wiki

this discussion is not #game-feedback, please move it elsewhere
winter lance
I can see how some people would be embarrassed about their nations misdeeds. Gulags and Stalin era etc is some of the worst stuff Russians have in their history, they don't want to remember that. So they're a bit mad when they see the new skins. They expected something cool and sexy, they got "welcome to gulag". Now the question is: was this series of skins a good idea? I'm not sure of the answer. It sure made a bit of noise and some say that is good for business. This is my opinion on the matter, now I'm feeling mostly neutral to those skins. Will I buy them..? To be honest...no. But at the same time I can't say that they're all bad.
mental stump
@winter lance My grand-grandmother's parents were killed during Great Purge. My grand-grandmother was called "дочь врагов народа". She was prohibited from getting education, traveling and having any legal documents.
I'm not sure that it was a good idea to make fun of people sufferings.

Dear Yostar,
I don't mind having ecchi skins (especially if you can choose not to use it), nor I against BDSM in general though it is a grey zone as I don't want to hurt my shipfus. But I believe your decision to make skins with obvious links to Gulag is at least very insensitive. Could you please reconsider some of them or move it to another event/context so they won't be associated with such notorious event? E.g. publish Ark Royal prison skin at the same time or make a mini event which will explain it without connection to real life events.
void schooner
This is why we can't have nice things.
reef basin
friendly reminder that pretty much every country had some super shitty, terrible, inhumane prison/camp system during ww2
mental stump
@reef basin why do we have only Russian shitty, terrible, inhumane camp as a joke in the game? Why other shipfus except Russian have nice outfits without references to this shitty, terrible, inhumane camps, even Iron Blood?
reef basin
no the point is you could make an argument about any of the factions having prison skins except probably hms. although ark royal deserves to be in jail the most
turbid loom
skazka has a point, why would the Russian ships get this treatment when the KMS ships all get nice outfits? Shouldn't the kms ships get some nice stripped pajamas and number tattoos to represent their regime's "prisons"?

So the solution is everyone needs hawt prison skins. I'm on board with this.
mental stump
@void schooner go for it. I'll wait.
raven crater
Warden skin is fine, but specifically Avrora's and the loli one cross the line IMO because they look like they are suffering. I mean, Prison School or whatever that anime is is a thing, but I feel like if you are taking agency away from the characters it's... gross

Only if staff tells them what they want to hear.
celest abyss
You do know Yostar doesn't have control over skins
turbid loom
They could still comment on the context of the skins
raven crater
As strongly as I feel about the issue though, the best way to provide feedback on skins is to buy/not buy them and to convince others to do the same. Talking in a channel can only go so far
naive cobalt
Staff knows perfectly well about complaints and reasons for it that people have. They monitor this server, social media and even some fan communities.
It will be forwarded, however current set of skins almost certainly won't be changed in any way.
mental stump
@naive cobalt do u know that u game has players in Russia? Do u know that some of them have relatives died in Gulag? Do you know how insulting for Russian players to see skins like this? I have no issues with ecchi skins or BDSS skins, but making fun from event that killed a lot of people for me is over the top. Especially in game that I really like.

I probably won't buy any skin next event, so it is less uncomfortable for me. However, I still want devs to increase the compensation, because we don't have event break...
The grinding is painfully unbearable...
dry lintel
hey Shazka, i wouldn't call these skins to be "making fun of" the gulags and those who died in them, infact i support the skins because it shows the bloody politics of the era. It'd be much worse to insteadd brush it all under a rug and act like it never happened. Also it is entirely possible that this isn't even referring to the Gulag (if Yostar/Manjuu officially said it was Gulag i would gladly like a screencap of it) it could be pointing towards the communist workers revolution, of which the crew of the Avrora were a very huge part of (Avroras main guns firing a blank signified the start of an assault on a palace full of political leaders)
velvet adder
Please stop
Discussing anymore won't solve any problem, other than bringing frustration to ourselves

tame walrus
it never stopped despite many mods telling us to
you can contribute by not continuing
mental stump
@dry lintel yep, it will going because Russian community still pissed about it For many reasons thought. It wasn't what Russian players expected in event about Russia. U know we are tired to see all of this клюква about Russia and USSR.
BTW, I understand that for u skins look like ЧК uniform has nothing to do with GULAG, as well as skins that look like prisoners robes. It's just conisidence. As well, as dorm set furniture has nothing to do with prison.
U don't wanna brush it under the rug, me as well. So, I hope to see Holocaust event next then with dorm set from Manchu skin. We can't brush this event under the rug as well.

I said stop and I said it clearly
I will just purge all the messages if that's the only way to stop everyone joining with their hot take and argument

@naive cobalt how about my increased compensation request?

Honest question here, I wanna know when are we going to get a FW rerun. Kinda upset to see my USS collection screwed over because the event holds a significant portion of USS ships, and the event has been held off for over a year at this point. Could it be possible for us to request a rerun of the USS Fallen Wings event? What about other events with limited skins, like Yamashiro's Summer Offensive swimsuit?
Of course, sounds a little demanding here, but I would like to get some information and notifications about any intentions for FW and Yumcat's swimsuit rerun instead of mindlessly repeating the same topic for an entire week, thanks.
ornate basin
we dont have an idea of when we will get it
as for requesting it be rerun, we cant take feedback on the pacing of events including reruns

Since we're getting Soviet navy ships, does that mean we could get Soviet navy priority research ships?

That would depend on what agreement al devs have with wargaming
and in any case, we don't take suggestions for new ships
drifting zealot
Not sure if this was sugested by someone already.
It would be nice if there was a timer in the corner of event banners.
So that people always know how long it will run.
minor robin
it has been suggested yes
ember flame
It's pretty much a stupidly known fact that Wargaming has Russian bias in their Russian line ships, no question no arguement. I don't wanna see their trash affecting balance of PR ships
drifting zealot
@minor robin Okay. Thanks for the fast response.
normal vine
@ember flame I don't think Wargaming has any say on AL's balancing
but with more Russian ships coming, maybe we could get Fleet Tech things for both them and the combined French factions?

In most big events we keep getting skins for weapons. I look at them and its all silly/memes. Would be nice to have some weapon skins that are actually COOL for a change. Nothing against joke skins, but its a bit weird that's all we got. Low priority request.

neat stump
i wish we could toggle a percentage display for some attributes. for example, i have 30 hit. but how much % chance of hitting does that converts to? or luck into crit rate?
winter lance
@neat stump That depends on the enemy though. Some enemies have higher evasion/luck than others.
neat stump
but increasing the ships chance to hit/crit doesnt depend on that. in theory, after those are calculated, you subtract from it the "defense stats" from the enemy.
for example: mikasa has 95% chance to crit. an item gives her additional 5%, so she gets to 100%. after that, you subtract w/e reduced chance of being crit the enemy has. the ship attributes don't change.
Can you give some examples of what you think might be cool?
@viscid halo for example, actual missiles/shells for BB bullets. different kinds of airplanes/jets for airtrikes
thin turret
can we have speedwagon as torpedo skin?
raven crater
@neat stump The base rate is not so simple, so converting it to a percentage would be misleading and pointless. You have to assume quite a few variables to calculate an initial percentage
neat stump
well, its for sure more informative than what we currently have. how am i supposed to measure how good 357 evasion is? we need at least a reference that is easier to understand, even if not 100% accurate
that number means nothing for most of players. 40% evasion rate does mean something, accurate or not
raven crater
The issue with that is a percentage is just as useless as a number because the percentage is also going to be wrong
neat stump
not being totally accurate is much better than no meaning at all
raven crater
I would say it's worse tbh, because people will think they know something that they don't, rather than understanding the limitations of what they have
neat stump
that makes zero sense imo. lets said the display value is 40%. after final calculations, its not like it will turn into 10%
values that turn into a percentage should have a toggle to display said percentages. no one is able to evaluate even remotely how good those are from raw numbers alone, unless they go look into those formulas
raven crater
Can't say I agree, but the implementation is up to Yostar anyway
neat stump
indeed, and thats why ive said it in gamer-feedback 😉

having 4 SSRs in a limited build has an extremely high potential for people to go 200/300+ cubes without getting everything. they should stay away from doing limited builds like this again or it detriments the merit of AL being generous and may lead to people salting out

One of the ships is permanent after event. And only 2 SSR is build only. So no, there isn't 4 ssr in limited build.

Tl;dr I would like a way to force girls to be cleared of comm thinking they're in the hardmode of a long gone event

Please expand the base limit of dock capacity, this kind of problem always happen to other player who stop playing this game. it's not like we can afford gem to buy dock expansion, you know sometimes our finance and playtime is not always match, soon we reach the limit of dock capacity in the middle of event or etc, and we will stop playing in a meantime until we can purchase gem for it, while that's happen there is no guarantee if we're returned to the game or not. You guys adding new ship every 1 or 2 month, but didn't raise the base dock limit. Even the biggest game on japan (you know, what else) did raise their servant limit to 300 back at the time, and i do believe you guys can do the same things. Please consider my honest feedback. I do believe yostar is the best game developers

then the servers need to be set up to handle well over the number of players
either you provide people with a way to move servers off those that are at or close to capacity or the servers need to be working regardless of the influx of players. Those are the 2 proper solutions to the problem. Anything else is a bandaid fix that only temporarily solves it

Aight, we need another couple of Fleet slots if you're making Northern Parliament a full on fleet
6 isn't enough, give us like 10

I wouldn't be against like at least 2 more slots yeah. If you take into accounts the daily raids, the farming of 13-4 that need very specific fleets that you don't want to change and also events, even the extension that we got recently ( and it was great ) is still kinda short. Not a priority of course, but that would be welcomed.
proper orbit
I just want more because I set up largely Faction fleets, and there's so many now with the ability to fill an entire fleet
christ you could give me 20 fleet slots and I could still fill them all uniquely

Even though I'd like to see a fleet loadout more than anything else. Than would completely cancel the need of adding more slots.

do both
10 slots, each fleet can have 2-3 loadouts
that way I can have a "Yankee Fleet" but one loadout is for AA, one is for mobbing, etc.

The music for the stage selection menu was spot-on in conveying the atmosphere created by the story. Gotta give that to the devs, they’re damn good at fitting music into the game. However, I do get a small quip every time I hear the siren theme used for battles, since (in my opinion) it’s somewhat overused. It’s still a fine piece that fits with the atmosphere, but perhaps altering it somewhat to fit the specifics of the event in question would make it seem less ‘lazy’? I understand if that’s too much hassle, considering it already works, but still just laying it out there.

gritty kettle
change the ships available in general construction, we are always getting the same ships over and over again
south night
Yes, and why would you want to change it?
Like, they do keep adding more and more ships to the pool tho, so technically its changing
gritty kettle
It is because I have not seen a rerun of some events and there are many exclusive ships of these especially the iron blood faction
viscid halo
Then wait for the rerun
gritty kettle
if you have played warframe there is a system called "primed vault" where the old content becomes unattainable for a time and is replaced by new and so the available characters are changed and are never the same, the old characters can then be obtained for a limited time always changing the available ones
Sorry for bad english 
south night
I mean, isnt AL like that too?
boreal marsh
so you're essentially asking for entire builds to have rotatable ships in it?
gritty kettle
Yep
boreal marsh
well, i can see that as a suggestion, given how bloated builds are becoming with each permanent ship added
gritty kettle
that would be great
viscid halo
So aka, limited build 
normal vine
I should point out, Prime frames and weapons are better versions of the regular thing, they put out a new set every half a year and you can farm the old ones in the game - and a few years ago they started to offer Prime Vault, which is just reruns of old sets (at full price, obviously)
so we already have that with revent reruns
boreal marsh
i think what he meant is, even for limited build, at least have the "permanent ships" in the limited build be different/rotatable
it has been base game ships since forever now
gritty kettle
Yes
You understand
The general construction pool need a rotative system
so there is more variety and we are not stuck with the same content as always
gloomy mauve
event reruns? What is that? what you are referring to does not exist... 
gritty kettle
that's why we need a new new system
hopefully the devs read this and take it into consideration
supple whale
Suggestion: Let us able to enable/disable to see equipped weapons while disassembling them so we dun hv to go to every ship to unequip those weps we dun nid and then go to depot just to disassemble them

Updating the dock filter was cool, but there is still no Morale. I'm always forgetting, which ships should I put in dorm after the lecture. OR. You can present us a button in the lecture hall, that will place the tired ships into dorm's second floor automatically (driving out the inhabitants). Also I would like to see the morale digits in the dock and in after-fight statistics. It's heavily incovenient to seek for morale at secretary page or at affection page. Thanks.

Why did Grozny's leg change the inscription from "Гневный" to "Грозный"?
Now there is no this beautiful reference to his ship class ...
normal vine
probably because it was intended to show her name and not the class, just like any other ship with the name somewhere on her clothes
thin turret
Is it possible to have normal maps of the events to be open few hours earlier? HM maps can stay on same delay.
minor robin
Why should normal maps be so special?
You don't need to clear normal maps to unlock hard mode maps in events
thin turret
No, they unlock when its 1am for quite few people here in russian region.
And when you wake up its very few hours left before you can clear them on the day of unlocking.
minor robin
And how exactly is that a problem?
They can't be catering for Russians only
Server time is based in America, as are a majority of players
When B/D opens, there's 12h anyways
And in the first place, there's no rush to complete the maps besides maybe an SP clear
Even then you'd still have 4h assuming 8h sleep
Which is more than enough when you can complete all maps (albeit without 3 star) in an hour
And again, why must normal open earlier?
real mountain
why must there be a timer in the first place
minor robin
real mountain
introduce arbitrary mechanic that inconveniences the player base (remember, early events didn’t have bullshit time gates), when they complain tell them off and say it’s not a big deal... seems a great approach
minor robin
remember, early events didn’t have bullshit time gates
Uhh no, they always did
real mountain
no they didn’t
real mountain
50h was once and mostly coz TZ was (yet again) bamboozling devs
early events like visitors or fw had no timegates iirc
minor robin
They did, I've been around since launch and went thru those events
The issue of why every server has time gates is beyond my knowledge
But we have asked them to at least match the time gates with other servers
Removing them outright is a bit harder to persuade
formal oyster
Didn't Noshiro event have a 50hr timer ?
minor robin
Exactly
formal oyster
Well it's a pretty recent event, so it's still up to 50 I'd say... 
normal vine
would be nice if B/D could open with daily reset instead of 12h server time
so Eurasian players at least get something and don't have to always feel like second class
minor robin
You're short changing people either way
Instead of the eurasians, it's the americans
normal vine
how do they get short changed by this?
real mountain
you eliminate the need to clear the stages in a few hours before reset to run sp esp for ppl that have that during the night
if it’s at reset no one has to rush
minor robin
It would be night time for americans too? Especially those living on the east coast, it'd be 2-3am
Which is the same situation SEA players face now, also at 2-3am
real mountain
and they would have a whole day to do it till next 2am... unlike the TZ that get screwed by the current system
normal vine
except American players don't get blocked by the maintenance because they're asleep during that time
Eurasian players get shafted twice, first by the maintenance being during our waking ours, then by the timegate
all I'm asking for is to move the time gate 12h earlier so it balances out
minor robin
Well, we'll feedback this, no promises though

So, random thought that could make events a lot more enjoyable for all: So, we have usually 1 or 2 ships in the event shop we can buy, usually 1 SR and one Elite. With how the gacha pool seems to love screwing people over with spooks, give an option at the start of an event to the players to pick their own ship from the event pool, and have those be the ones you can earn in the shop, the others be gacha. Like, the one ship I really want from this event is Tashkent. But I know I'll just get spooked by Warspites and Hoods, cause those rates be lies. So, instead of having an option to farm for a ship I don't care about, let me go "hey, I want Tashkent the most, so I can farm her, and then try for the others in the gacha"
normal vine
could be done in the form of a high-price token that allows you to pick one of the event ships (like we had before in the ... New Year's event last year?)
naive cobalt
It was suggested
torpid slate
yeah, even something like that. just, some way to not block ALL waifus behind the gacha in an event would be awesome. Like, I wanted all the idols last event. I was able to pull all but Akagi. So (i know idol event didn't have any ships in the shop, but just an example), i could have had a better chance of getting them, even if i screwed myself with dupes
it has been? was there ever any response to it, positive or negative, or was it just one of those suggestions that to us players goes into the void? I know they can't answer everything, so just curious, haha
formal oyster
That's already what we have with milestones, event shop etc. though
torpid slate
No, it isn't...? I'm saying that, like how before with I think it was like, the "learn to play AL missions" or whatever, where you did some missions and then could pick one of like, 5 girls to receive, at the first entrance into the event shop for a new event, you'd have a selection of the event ships pop up, and you pick which one you want to be in the shop, and then it (and all the others) would be in the gacha. So I'd pick Tashkent as the SR for this event, and then I could earn her, and all other event SRs would still be gacha-locked
formal oyster
I mean I was referring to that
just, some way to not block ALL waifus behind the gacha in an event would be awesome.
torpid slate
Ah. Well, should clarify, I meant "waifus" as in "a singular person's waifus". Like, my waifu for this event is solely gacha. And usually the DFC/pettanko are stuck in the gacha in events 😦 So for me, waifus are usually stuck in the gacha, while just meh shipgirls be available in the shop/milestone
raven crater
I've always advocated to just remove the time gate completely since it serves no purpose but to be annoying.
shy pond
In other news, the text boxes for HP bars are still too short
starting to get a bit salty about that one since it has been a persistent issue since the UI overhaul
hidden relic
the timegate is really unfair to non american players because the stages unlock too late and then we miss one whole sp attempt just because of this useless mechanic that's here to just be an inconvenience

Since aircraft skins are much more likely to get than the others, why not make each aircraft skin conversible into one type of plane instead of separating it into three?

Recently, dialogs of new ships and skins for them were updated on the wiki, and I had a couple of questions. Maybe I chose the wrong channel, but I don’t know where else to write about it. And so: the first question is a line of skins associated with some kind of “exercises”, what exercises are we talking about? 2nd question - Chapayev in the skin says that she can leave whenever she wants,if so, why establish observation over her? (the observation is clearly visible on the skin of Sovetskaya Rossiya). Well, that’s all, actually there are still questions, but I can ask them only after the answers to those already mentioned.But if I get the answer to these questions, it will be wonderful. thanks in advance
naive cobalt
uhm
#al-lore I guess??
sinful zenith
I thought about it, maybe I'm wrong but there are the same players there as me, and they can not answer these questions, because no one has answers except the developers
flat vector
This channel is for feedback to the devs. They won't converse with you here about your inquiries.
sinful zenith
ok, where / to whom to write about this?
naive cobalt
If you know chinese - you're free to try your chances with Manjuu, but I can assure you, you won't get an answer.
And before you ask - no, I don't know how to contact them.
sinful zenith
Oк, I understood. Thanks for trying to help.

Feedback. Put another slot in the dorm so that way an entire fleet can fit at once
mental stump
@sinful zenith Yostar is their publisher, so their email it's a place to write u questions as they make most decisions about game publishing and usually take responsibility when something goes wrong.
@sinful zenith BTW I think it's pretty obvious WHAT exercise they are talking about consider the way skins looks. I guess you are trolling.
naive cobalt
I'm pretty sure publishers don't write game script
they publish games
mental stump
@naive cobalt yes and no, it depends. Some publishers give complete freedom to the developers, some not, and use their own developers to monitor process, also helps with sound and other things outside code and story. However, almost most of them take financial responsibility to deal with deadlines, inquiries and other legal things.
sinful zenith
@mental stump Thank you, I will try to write to them and see what happens. As for exercise, I seriously asked, maybe you are hinting at "hot coffee." It’s just that Pamiat Merkuria is starving, the gangut is not clear what he is doing, the Grozny is just sitting in the cell, and it’s very difficult to explain the situation with Chapayev normally
mental stump
@sinful zenith just curious what do u think about Tashkent
naive cobalt
Please keep casual chatter in DMs
velvet adder
aaaAAAA PLEase the cutscene skip doesnt skip the dialogue choices and its infuriating
well not infuriating but kinda annoying i just wanna skip it and get to the level/battle
autumn willow
Reruns should happen more often, and stop trying to get EN server catched up to the JP/CN servers
I dont mind new events being pushed out, but newer players have like no chance of getting older ships, which can also affect the rate of obtaining PR ships
Not only that, but the fact that we gotta wait months for even one, kinda sucks not gonna lie
Does it really matter that EN tries catching up? Its causing players to have very little time to save enough resources aswell for newer events
At this point, I think it's better to just be left behind than to always be in a hectic rush to catch up
naive cobalt
We don't take feedback about pacing of events.
It was announced from the beginning that new events will take precedence over old ones.
autumn willow
Thanks for response
shy pond
Speaking of which.... The event timegate opens at very late for me and there is no way in hell I can get the SP attempt that day.... It is mildly infuriating.... Could it be pushed 4h back to facilitate easier acces based on the global audience?
raven crater
(or just remove it entirely)
naive cobalt
We brought up this question before. No, it cannot be moved.
real mountain
ender said earlier today that you guys will bring up the feedback regarding the time gate timer? so which is it 
ripe trail
I retract my previous statement; the second part's soundtrack just gave me a nosebleed.
neon kite
what's the point of the gate timer anyway? I understood it as a way to help players ease into the event so they don't need to be forced to rush through the content as not to miss SP, but rn the timer just causes more trouble as it opens too late on the 2nd day leaving very little time for play anyway? If it can't be moved why not remove it altogether?
naive cobalt
@real mountain I already asked it long time ago. He just forgot about it.
proper orbit
I humbly request that when Kirov is added to the game that you use the Red Alert 2 "Kirov Reporting" sound byte at some point and use this music for her event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvH5WXovz0c
naive cobalt
quite obvious "no"
real mountain
Can you reiterate the point tho, as you see people are complaining basically every event and the fact that it's unfair for certain TZs is unquestionable. If it can't be removed then at least moved to not double shaft non-american TZ. If even that can't be done would be great to know the reason for this user antagonistic feature.
velvet adder
its really not that much of a loss
naive cobalt
no, it cannot be moved
no, it cannot be removed
real mountain
is the reason "technical" same as the other TZ unfriendly features such as nightly commissions or is everyone simply too afraid to admit it's sole purpose is to shape user engagement with 0 benefit to said users?
naive cobalt
yes, obviously its only purpose is to annoy people /s
reasons are technical and that's as far as i will go into it
if something is in place, then it needs to be there, unless you seriously believe it's in place purely and only to make life worse for users
real mountain
I guess your definition of technical (as in we need to have this in place as part of user engagement and monetization strategy) and mine (such as this is literally impossible to implement on current infrastructure) are different.
neon kite
there are some things in this game that seriously makes me think that. Like the daily reminder of how the auto function works or the movement limitation even after all moveable enemies defeated etc 😐
naive cobalt
haven't said a word about "user engagement", but this discussion is pointless at this point
velvet adder
i do wonder why the auto reminders pop up every day or even the update notes for that matter lol
neon kite
it has to be there so you don't forget how it works /s
ornate basin
its been suggested to make the cooldown permanent or longer than a day
raven crater
I'm with Sanicek on this one, I see no benefit to the players from the existence of the second half of event timer. If you have an explanation for us, I'd love to hear it
ornate basin
reasons are technical and that's as far as i will go into it
raven crater
I don't think that's a good enough explanation. It is what it is though, I suppose.
He said, and I quote
if something is in place, then it needs to be there, unless you seriously believe it's in place purely and only to make life worse for users
And honestly while my heart like to think otherwise, the evidence points to the fact that this only exists to make life worse for users, so I'm expressing my desire for a better explanation.
neon kite
on a completely different topic, are cheaters no longer punished? chaldea was one of the cheaters I reported from polaris ex stage, the whole event went by and even leaderboard is gone now, yet he is still playing and blatantly cheating to get top of the leaderboard now on challenge mode. Are something going to be done about this or should I just stop reporting?
velvet adder
he will get banned in the next wave i guess (probably after this event)
neon kite
It's pretty unfair though given how much preparation and time it takes to actually get a good run as to rank high in these modes, yet every week / event theres cheaters undermining everything u do
velvet adder
just remove them from the leaderboard mentally when you look at your rank
what its a good score why u gonna let a cheaters score invalidate it?
got this issue after finishing first b3 sortie(skipped the cutscene after a couple dialog boxes) screen is blurred and cant click anything, i got to main menu by clicking hardware back button 
gonna restart game now but just thought id show since i didnt see it in known bugs
ornate basin
(this is #game-feedback still) but it is a known bug
a restart will fix it
velvet adder
aaa sorry
