@neon kite so, what is fair level that players must have to get first place for u? I got my first place for the first time at 85 lvl, is it fair for u?
BTW, it's completely possible that more people are working on story right now that on Ladder. Also, a lot of people add their new ships to their defensive fleat, so it's little bit easier to climb ladder during event time. At least this is how I got first place several times. Anyway, we'll see what happens after event with leader board.

that is not pvp leaderboard. It's for challenge mode, those scores are impossible to achieve with any team composition currently available as it pretty much requires u to instakill the bosses as soon as they spawn

@neon kite ok, sorry I didn't see it. Lol :D
Now I understand your frustration better.

Have we had any feedback as to why event maps on hard don't drop common CVs?
Like, if you wanna enhance a carrier and you also want to play an event, sucks to be you.
It would be great if they could even slot one CV into them
raven crater
It's not the first time they've done it. At any rate, I'd guess it's because there are no event ships that are CVs. in some other events, we've had no BBs drop I think
flat vector
There's been events with CVs that didn't have common CVs and the fact that it's been more than one event is why I bring it up.
celest abyss
Yea please let events drop CV fodder
tame walrus
I'm pretty sure it's most events at this point
solemn citrus
The thing about not dropping BBs is that every other ship buffs the associated stats. Nothing other than CVs, however, buffs AVI stat. So you can reliably enhance a BB with CL/CA/DD drops, but carriers are SoL
celest abyss
Any way there could be some type of check to let girls be autopick by comm even if you forget to take them off an event hard mode? Nowadays if you don't clear out the event hm they become permanently un autopickable by the comms
Maybe even just some type of manual refresh button that forces a girl to be cleared of all hardmode fleets she's tagged as being in
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

For the 'Event' pool in future is it possible to have something implemented where every 10th pull is guaranteed to be an event ship. Doesn't matter what rarity, just any event ship.
I can't count the number of times now I've pulled dozens of non-event ships in a row and it's really, really not okay. At least with a system like this in place people know they'd be getting something.
south night
eh no, this is not arknights
Also, you should know AL is hecking generous tho, having a 7% SSR rating super good already
And the rate up is good too
Also, you should know that how abundance cubes and coin easily gain unlike origium or saint quartz
So the chance for you to build is high from how easily coin and cube gain, and how high SSR rate is

So about the people who spent over 200 cubes last event and still didn't get everything.
Bad luck, wait another 6+ months. Sorry guy.

Dear Azur Lane team, I remember making a suggestion regarding making the mood stat visible in the dorm. But after this new filter update, there is still no option to see the shipgirls' mood. Can you guys add this small little feature to the next update? Selecting and deselecting the girls just to see their mood is really frustrating at some point. Thank you in advance.
south night
You can with second floor, and only with second floor @queen kayak
queen kayak
@south night If what you said is true, I'm gonna ask a dumb question. How do we do it? Because I still can't find the filter for it, even in the second floor.
south night
You should see the morale of the ships when you put them on second floor 
queen kayak
@south night And that's the problem. I need to put them in to see their mood. I can't find which girl does not have her mood at max without putting them in, 5 at a time.
My feedback is an option to filter and sort by lowest mood so I know the top ones need resting.
pulsar rampart
I just put my main girls I'm usng int he 2nd floor but the whole time of my life Ive been playing this game I;ve never gotten a girl below good no matter how much I grinded with the same ships

@pulsar rampart It's because I use many girls that I usually don't remember which girls have rested and which have not, leading to selecting every single girl 5 at a time.

Make fleet lock skip animations on the map screen, ie the submarine attacks as well as carrier attacks and destroyer attacks from meowfficer skills
barren roost
During this event I'm having a problem with fleet lock, having to disable it to switch auto/manual mode for different fleets. For example, my low cost mob fleet can clear 6 nodes on D3 in full auto play, but my low cost boss fleet is built around Ibuki, and to use it to it's fullest potential I have to play it manually. If there was an option to set up auto/manual play per fleet, that would be great!
Btw, it doesn't stop at event level, since I also always manual my core data and books dailies, and I'm sure other players would find it useful aswell.
raven crater
@barren roost Fleet lock is meant to be used when you have full confidence that your fleets can clear without needing to be adjusted. The solution here is to just turn off fleet lock after clearing the 6 mob nodes so that when you go to the boss node, you can turn off auto mode before the boss fight.
rancid quail
I would love a category system to the dock, I get very confused which girls are suppose to go where...
raven crater
What do you mean by a category system?
Because you can filter ships by "vanguard" and "main fleet"
rancid quail
No custom category, and then you can filter so you just see the specific girls in the category. Example: Have the girls who I take to commissions in one category and like sometimes I remove girls from the main fleet and then I need to look for them so I could have a category for that.
raven crater
Just favorite the ships that you want to be able to easily select for specific commissions or any other purpose.
You can filter to show favorite ships
rancid quail
I know but I want multiple categories and be able to just filter which one I am looking for...
raven crater
I suppose that's a suggestion, but I don't think the filter system is designed to allow a mapping of multiple ships to multiple custom categories like that. Not sure if it's feasible to implement.
rancid quail
Still I'd love to see that be implemented but it's mostly just small life improvements...

custom tags you can filter through were suggested which is basically what you asking for

Make the names of all the gears scroll across the title box when in the crafting menu.

QoL suggestion: it would be nice if the scroll bar in the dock could have markers for each 10 levels, since it can't refresh as fast as I'm scrolling

viscid moon
This is just my personal opinion, but I don't like that certain things are translated in such a different way, in particular the collar/bridle thing. It's extremely different (and in my opinion offputting), but I don't see why things are changed arbitrarily, this isn't something which needs to be localised due to cultural difference that wouldn't be understood in the west
boreal marsh
tbf, if you look at her art, her "horse" rigging is wearing what looks like a metal collar
so...collar/bridle would both make sense anyways

Just don't see why they had to make it so much more extreme lol
I do think it was genius to release a hot ship who's a domme but then give her a skin where she's subbing
lucid compass
Could we get the ability to run hard mode more than 3 times per day? Do not allow players to earn core data after the first 3 runs to balance it out. Fleet lock could even be removed after the first 3 runs if it would be too easy for us.
south night
Been suggested tho
But here is a thing, it was more than 3 times actually, it was 6 times a day, with 1 bps drop per clear, compare to the current HM which is 2 bps drop per clear, so that mean you have to spend even more time to do hard mode, for more oil, just for the same amount of bps
@lucid compass
raven crater
I think his proposal is that we should be able to grind BP specifically indefinitely 👀
normal vine
and I don't think Manjuu want that

Yes, just make hard mode unlimited and make the retrofit bps has like 0.75% drop rate instead of guarenteed

idea:
some kind of way to spend coins, blueprints and equipment parts to get upgrades which give fleet-wide buffs, but like in a way where basically every upgrade gives some kind of debuff which can be removed with another upgrade, and in-game it's described as highly experimental
example upgrades:
Example 1
Cost: 30,000 coins, 100 T3 General Parts, 50 T2 Cruiser Blueprints
Effect: +50% firepower for all cruisers but -30% reload for all cruisers
Example 2
Cost: 20,000 coins, 100 T3 Main Gun Parts, 10 T3 Cruiser Blueprints
Prerequisite: Example 1
Effect: +30% reload for all cruisers
halcyon crater
considering the diminishing returns of the reload stat at higher levels
that 30% reload buff would not be worth the cost
tame walrus
unless these buffs were permanent, and considering the cost, neither of the buffs are worth the cost

make luck affect skill proc rates
raven crater
Since luck is very difficult to influence, I'm not a fan of this suggestion because it makes ships with bad luck even worse.
If we had more aux equips that could influence luck then it would be more reasonable since you could equip a ship to compensate if need be, but there's only a very small number of those and I think they're all limited

errant tusk
am i right in assuming cumulative incremental increases in gold blueprint drop chance from boss every consecutive run they don't drop has been suggested and likely won't be implemented?
flat vector
People have asked for increased drop rates a lot, yes. I don't know if specifically cumulative increases have been suggested, but I wouldn't expect it to go through.
raven crater
I actually wouldn't want that implemented because it presupposes you are aiming for gold BP and that's not always the case.
flat vector
It's fairly clear the devs don't want high drop rates or secure drop rates, but you can always suggest it
errant tusk
hmm good point that
raven crater
It works out something like this if you want to fully retro every ship
Destroyer: 444 T1, 440 T2, 89 T3
Cruiser: 366 T1, 433 T2, 157 T3
Battleship: 96 T1, 141 T2, 70 T3
Carrier: 196 T1, 182 T2, 48 T3
You can see that destroyers require a ton more T1 and T2 BP compared to T3 relative to other ships, while cruisers require a ton more T3 (because of Sandy mostly). BBs have warspite but even then they still need a lot more T2, and Carriers are similar to Destroyers
Events give out gold BP usually, and you can also get T1 and T2 BP from commissions. You can get T3 BP from research if you want. So I think that the exact mix of BP that someone will need is highly variable and that the current system of fixed or "sliding scale" drop rates (higher rarity BP drop more frequently from harder maps) is better than such a hard and fast "bias" towards a specific tier
errant tusk
though if indeed gold bp drop chance is something like an order of magnitude less than for other bp, practically speaking over time it shouldn't be an issue if gold bp chance is reset when it drops
but moot point if devs minds are made up
cursive horizon
I've been thinking about this for a few months, but wasn't sure how to bring it up. I was wondering if it were possible for the devs to add a sort of Enemy Ship Viewer? There's lots of neat details on the mass productions ships, and the Sirens, and other factions now have unique ship designs. But during actual gameplay there's so many shots and explosions happening you can't appreciate the sprite work. Also, since the names almost never actually finish scrolling for you to read them, having the names by the ships would be nice, too.
raven crater
A bestiary would be cool, with some details on the enemy production and siren ships.
I know we all are wondering what each siren's three sizes are

How do I sort by stars? There is a lot of ships and it takes me forever to scroll down to my level 70s with LB0. I am getting them up faster than I can get spare gold and bullins.
regal elm
I mean, a ship can be limit broken at lvl 10 (1lb), 30 (2lb), and 70 (mlb), so i don't see why we need sorting by limit-breakable
tho the fact we have "Enhanceable" as sorting option means it's possible for Limit-Breakable to be added. I never realized that option is added there
frosty jolt
The Enhanceable sort is literally the best thing to happen in my opinion. No more manually checking every ship one by one when I need to dump ship drops.

I'd totally be okay with certain ships receiving alternative male artwork. Bismarck as you say is a good example of that.

Because advice takes the lowest level ship that satisfies the criteria
Especially for the cog chip Comms, it will select a level 100
And usually, players don't uncap level 100 ships they don't intend to use

Btw re: "high level rewards" it'd be great to see some higher level dailies. Level 70 being the highest is kind of a bummer. Maybe Level 100 dailies with all purple plates/gold boxes/gold skill books? And more gold 👀
shy pond
For the level 100 daily for plates I'd actually suggest a 50/50 split between blue and purple plates. The blue plates are the real bottleneck IMHO

Hi I am pretty sure this might have already been brought up before. Will there be changes made to the game where when you are in a fight the area displayed wouldn't be locked at 16:9 and instead be able to use up the empty screen space on the top and sides of screens depending on their aspect ratio?
flat vector
The devs are aware that that happens and it's intentional. No public statement about changes to that.
covert palm
Oh I see is there like a reason specifically why for this? I'm just curious that's all.
flat vector
Because the game isn't compatible with those screen ratios
If you didn't get the bars it would stretch
covert palm
I guess so

Due to the confusion about planes for a long time, can we finally have a display for the REAL damage bombs do per plane? It's really confusing and I can't be sure if bombers even gain increased bomb damage per enhancement
velvet adder
pine sequoia
^ Is that a translation bug?
tame walrus
@neon hollow you can see stuff on the wiki for bombs, but I do agree there should be more info in game
ionic tide
I kind of wish that Izumo should be buffed, she is pure waifu and deserves better
neon hollow
@tame walrus there are still some people who don't trust the values and probably we're not sure about them either
So yeah, it's better for the devs themselves to officially declare their real values
raven crater
I think to accurately show bomber damage you would have to split the damage between "Surface Damage" (i.e., from bombs) and "Air Damage" (i.e., from cannons).
The surface damage value would then be the sum of the damage of all bombs on the plane, and the air damage value would be the sum of the damage from the cannons.
Of course, in practice the values are largely useless because you still have to consider the accuracy and splash damage of the bombs themselves, but I suppose it's a start.
tame walrus
I've never heard of people not trusting those values on the wiki specifically
raven crater
I doubt that people doubting the wiki have the technical knowledge of how the game works to do so from a valid perspective
But it's definitely the case that the damage values for dive bombers in game mean nothing

Okay Hey Azur lane! I have a little bit of a thing i wanted to suggest. I was wondering you guys could tone down the amount of bullets the boss throws out. (The northern overture event one to be exact.) Not only does it make my Iphone 7 freeze up and crash but it lags the game. There are also several issues with the game freezing up. The bullets on the screen is a huge mess! I can see playing it on a ipad but i don't have one.
I also wanted to ask if there was anyway to connect to my gmail or apple account to my game. I don't use twitter or facebook or whatever you guys have for it.
I also wanted to know if you where going to do English voices in the future. That would be awesome! Anyway thank you for your time.
~Commander Smith McCool
raven crater
I doubt that they will reduce the number of bullets just for performance issues, but additional graphical settings besides FPS would be nice.
Related to your other questions @velvet adder There is not currently a way to connect gmail or apple account, but you can use a "yostar account" which will basically give you a verification code to your email address and let you bind your email address to the game that way. Regardless, I would suggest making a dummy twitter (not facebook) for account binding in the future. If you don't have your account bound, you could lose it at any time if you ever need to reinstall the game or change devices.
English voices would be very unlikely given the time and cost necessary to do something like that (and then have people annoyed or not want to use them anyway) so I feel like that's unlikely to happen 👀
velvet adder
how do i make a yostar account?
raven crater
Just initiate the bind process. It's sort of deceptive since you don't really need to go through traditional account creation processes. You just need to enter your email and then press Generate. This will send you an email with a verification code. Then you enter the verification code in the box and press confirm. This will link your email to the game
velvet adder
oh that sounds easy! Thanks a bunch!
sweet now its all done! I might download AL on an Ipad and play on my account thank you soo much!
raven crater
You're welcome! Glad you didn't run into any issues

Two UI aspects which could be improved in my view can be illustrated here.

Quick question! What about azur lane for IOS computers? I would love to play with a mouse!
raven crater
I think the chance of developing games for the Mac OS environment is extremely low as it is with most games. I wouldn't count on it. You'd be better off trying to find an android emulator for Mac OS and then emulating the android version of the game.

bluestacks is the mac emulator im pretty sure

QoL change: allow us to downgrade/breakdown t3 blueprints and plates. i often have a lot of t1 plates and blue BPs, a lot of t3 plates and gold BPs, and close to zero t2/purple ones.
Taking advantage of picture posted by @normal vine : please allow us to click on profiles of ships we havent aquired yet, so we can take a peek at skins and such.
raven crater
I think the blueprints and plates thing has been suggested.
raven crater
It would be nice to have an auto-submarine button in battle like how autobattle has an in-battle button. When using fleet lock, the only way to turn on auto-submarine is to turn off fleet lock and activate it from the formation screen, which is inconvenient compared to being able to activate autobattle any time during a battle.

make the pvp exercise refresh timer more even : every 8 hours for 5 tries instead of this mess right now. its favourite for people livin in u.s kinda hard to hit all refreshes when its 11pm-8 am in europe.

It's not hard because it only refreshes 5 attempts per refresh. You can just do them once in the morning and once in the evening

Could you please exclude the repeating researches? I mean, when the 2 out of 5 researches are the same. Also, I believe there should be at least one free research (no gold, no cubes, no BPs).

you should be able to do the SP stage, and this goes with anything, when you have Level 110 average fleet, because this is the avg level requirement and not 111. In this case also it is doable when you have level 110 ships and not higher.

There should be an option for 120 fps
velvet adder
Isn't 60 fps melting your battery fast enough?
tame walrus
@normal vine it would be more accurate to call it a rounding error. The game just rounds to the nearest whole number to display. In other words his average is actually 109.7 (or similar) and it shows 110 when it's not. The suggestion here is to make that number always round down
normal vine
@tame walrus even if your entire fleet is level 110 ships, that would still be a perfect average of 110, which fails the test of "is it greater than 110?"
rounding has nothing to do with this, only people not understanding primary school maths
naive cobalt
it's literally "more than 110"
110 is not more than 110
if game wanted "more or equal" - they would've used appropriate symbol

Petition to make the 8 hour comissions start occurring at like 9/10pm in whatever timezone you are in?
I can't really keep playing the game for more than like an hour or so. I wish the 8 hour commissions would come up at like 9 or 10 pm. I can't wait till 11 to wake up at 4 am and not play the game till like 5 pm or something.
raven crater
@gentle grove Because commissions operate on server time that's literally impossible. They have to start at the same time for everyone. Maybe they could stand to increase the duration that night commissions are available though?
raven crater
Then they'd just fuck some other time zone
tardy arch
that would mess up other time zones as well, yes. and switch the time zone back a few hours has been discussed before and (iirc) it ended with a "no"
gentle grove
Damn. Qq
I still can't access the missions
Like I've stayed up to get this mission and ima be tired af tomorrow for work qq

There have been a good couple of suggestions for QoL regarding the night commissions and making them more available for different timezones. Increasing the expiration timer of them is one of them
gentle grove
Probably a sign for me to quit the game anyways.

It'd be better if they were available for 24 hours

Why not have it specific to each timezone then?

The person who thought putting Avrora in event build is good idea is an idiot. Ship that ppl got for free for just being around half of year ago and it blocks event build of a new event. So after using 300 cubes I got 4 avroras which I dont need since my avrora was full lb before this event. And those could be possibly some actual new ships dropping instead. And since avrora is planned to be part of permanent pool soon anyway why she blocks new event build and doesnt appear in light build instead. And yes Im salty because my rng sucks this event but still the point should be clear
tardy arch
congrats you got 40 medals then 
and she's in the event build because she's part of the north union faction. plus this is a good chance for people who didn't get her in her own event to get her now.
also bruh i get that rng sucks but there's a lot more ships in the event pool than avrora that are far more infuriating to get.
stark narwhal
avrora is event-limited and people who missed her won't have a chance to get her until next year so this event is a way to get her
and all ships that has been unlocked can be in the pool
it has been like that since the start of the game
imagine event rerun can only have new ship 
tardy arch
actually she'll be added in permanently once the event ends. 
stark narwhal
point is, you are barking up the wrong tree
stone cargo
- as was said she will be permanent very soon anyway so why add her in event
- its not rerun its new event except for some reason it gives ship that isnt new
- you dont have +% on all ships from same faction when some faction related event happens so who cares she is northern parliament too
So yeah the devs logic is like: “here you have brand new event with brand new ships but you already have this one ship on max lb max affinity max lvl better include her in build too so you can get 4 duped to retire because thats fun gameplay right”
Also this is probably first event that has 4 gold ships in build pool on its first run and only 2 purple and not a single blue one which shifts the probabilities into different numbers compared to other events
shy pond
Two points from me. Next time you get a mini-event like the Decryption one, PLEASE make the second stage more visible. I completely missed that it was there until a friend told me
Secondly, for the night commissions it could be done this way (If this hasn't been suggested, please put it on the card): You can set them to appear once per server reset at a specific time (which would only be switchable once every two weeks, maybe even for a small oil cost?). This would ensure nobody can exploit the system while still giving the option of customizing when night commissions appear (a person could for example set them to appear before sleep, or before he goes to work)
normal vine
there's a suggestion that night commissions stay for 24h (but obviously can only be done once) and change with the daily reset
probably the best solution

I know you don't like feedback about the content and retros, but I feel like it would be appreciated by a lot of people if there was some "Modernization" Mini-Event. Brand new retros for non-event ships, update Memento>Bands section, more items in core shop. Basically, taking a look back and completing/expanding on some stuff in the game that we already have instead of rushing for a brand new event. I believe it would be something worth doing.

judging from the Vtuber events, AL happens in a parallel world, so it's possible that Sony and Sega teamed up there to make a console, like Sony and Nintendo did here (there was a Nintendo Playstation that unfortunately didn't get past the prototype stage)

can we get a winter crown or fallen wings rerun?
you guys release a sirius skin but so many people dont even have her
ofc give it a break , most plebs are out of coins and cubes since u did a back to back event which PLEASE, never do this again
raven crater
They don't take feedback on the pacing of events. We'll get the rerun when we get it.
The back to back event was because of the coronavirus delaying the release of the polaris event. It ate the week break we would have had between polaris and russia
lunar sundial
cool?
have u ever thought about the players who were unlucky on polaris and this event?
u gave the players no time to restock on cubes

I mean I'm not Yostar I'm just telling you how it is 👀

but ye guess it's my fault that im unlucky

and idc if they dont take feedback on the events thing its clear right now that a lot of players are unhappy with how reruns are being handled
all u are doing is putting your head underground and ignoring it

Again, I'm not Yostar, I'm just telling you that your feedback isn't going to be considered because, as noted, they don't take feedback on the pacing of events
lunar sundial
add a pitty system to the game pls, u may think oh 7% u should be able to get all ships but not all of us get all ships in 20 cubes ffs, as of now im 350 cubes deep i believe and gotten more tashkents and avrora's then i would like, where that rossiya at? i'd be even deeper in cubes if polaris didnt cuck me aswell

Pity system has been suggested

next how about u guys bring back the wishing well thing, its been a bit of time now since we got it

I'm in favor of wishing well also mainly because I'm only missing Abercrombie

next add more stuff to war archives, as of now players that join now are unable to farm FDG since evry backline KMS is event limited, add ivergent chessboard to war archives so they can get the 2 german BB's and maybe even tirpitz so they can start farming FDg?
locking a PR behind event limited isnt really a smart move
tame walrus
this isn't a "talk to the devs" channel, it's give feedback, and it's put up for the devs to get to while they work on everything else. it's not that we can't take feedback about certain things, it's that if we did, it would just be flooded with things the devs don't have time for

rushing events ain't gonna cut it

More events will be added to archives in the future, they already were on other servers
No break was due to coronavirus - kinda out of our hands.
lunar sundial
ye cool
but u could have forseen that corona would stand in ur way
and plan the event a week later beforehand, u think people gonna be pissed that we didnt get an event instantly after polaris? if so then u are completely out of touch with your players that play everyday and love this game
tame walrus
not really? epidemic level diseases aren't something that you can just say "ya that's gonna happen next week" 
naive cobalt
ye, country wide quarantine is a bit harder to predict than you think

Well no but in case of the corona virus u could have predicted that
it was spreading so fast..

u cant go and blame a pandemic for your mistakes and mistouch with the community, but hey what do i know

have some kind of calculation of how many points this will cost on screen whilst im buying it
like how build tells you exactly how much it will cost
i really cba to count up and calculate how many points i will use, how much i will have left over, how much it will cost to buy other things i want, how many points ill have to grind
it would be nice if it could go above like how build does and just says "you cant afford this" instead of hitting your points limit and not telling you how much you need more or how many points youre currently using

Hello, I have a suggestion, Make the planes more like, realistic.. Like, they can't be just shot down like it poofs out of the sky, it would be crashing and indicate a red circle where it would crash, just tryna make the game kinda difficult i guess, i don't really know if it'll make the game more exciting ig
void schooner
What's the benefit of knowing where the plane crashed? And how does that make the game difficult? Also, depending on the chapter, the screen would be filled with red circles.
lunar sundial
he wants to make ch12 and 13 more hell 
void schooner
It'll be harder and more challenging on your phone's battery, that's for sure.
lunar sundial
why tho...
shooting down planes and they kamikaze on u
thats the dumbest thing i've heard
raven crater
I think the size of the hitboxes on both planes and ships combined with the size of the map and quantities of planes would make them prohibitively difficult to dodge if it were necessary
Azur Lane isn't a precision bullet hell like touhou, more like a casual sidescrolling shooter
lunar sundial
not even that, it's just dumb cause u shoot down the planes and they fall on u so you still get punished even for taking them down
so u have 2 options at that point
let the planes hit ur backline
shoot them down and nuke your own frontline
this is a lose lose situation what so ever...
raven crater
That's a good point also
lunar sundial
game should feel rewarding but if i nuke yourself thats not rewarding
also frontlines have way less health already than backliners so this adding more things to damage your frontline is just ...

Any thoughts on an update where you can require ships from archives? Like imagine you can pay a bulin of equivalent or greater rarity to get a ship back that you retired.
raven crater
Hmm... That actually makes a lot of sense. You could even add the option to do so to the box that comes up when you tap a ship on the archives. Collabs and retros excluded obviously. Maybe also include a gold cost with it just to add a bit more friction and consequence to retiring ships you might need later
velvet adder
Can we get more Archive Rewards and else for limit breaking some type of ships based on class. I think we need to do it now and some collabs need them to...
I mean, we are kinda stagnant in that part and some of the Archive rewards are still unknown
ripe trail
There’s basically a zero percent chance of collab ships being added to archive rewards. They don’t fit the ‘historical’ theme of the tasks.
And more content for archive has been a wanted thing for a while, but nothing’s ever been done about it, so...
scenic flower
Is collab with Fog Fleet possible? Someone said they are with Kantai, but I can't see why they can't do collab with AL because of this.
velvet adder
@ripe trail Okay...
@scenic flower Muybe a nu, If they are belong to Kadokawa = 0% chance
Kadokawa just happens to hate Yostar
normal vine
crossover with Arknights?
wanton arch
Something I would like to see added to the game is an option to have a shipfu not be auto added to a commission fleet when auto select is chosen.
raven crater
@wanton arch I agree, but you can sort of circumvent this issue by keeping a fleet of ships you don't want to be added to commissions, such as a 0 LB farming fleet. I think maybe sticking them in a hard mode fleet counts also?
drifting edge
We need Amagi wed dress and L2D
raven crater
Agree, but they don't take feedback on skins 👀
dense sentinel
do they take feedback on Enty and Belslow dance?
bcus we need their actual dance in game
shy pond
A side note for the current event: It is nearly impossible to get enough pts to complete if you don't MLB even one of the THREE SRs within 3 weeks. Why was the point margin increased by 400? It makes it so hard for me not to even bother (Despite only needing to clear D3 twice and D2 10x with certain ships)
Unless you had purins saved from before the beginning of the event it is practically impossible to MLB two ships in three weeks without dupes, let alone three.
raven crater
You can buy dupes from the shop for Chapayev to just MLB one (plus she drops from D3/B3) and you'll get three purins in 3 weeks no matter what from weekly tasks, not to mention medal exchange and merit shop. It's certainly not impossible.
midnight tree
I have a question how come used about 300 cubes in this event and still can’t get a single rossiya, is there some problem or just rng being stupid
naive cobalt
just you being unlucky
midnight tree
Feels like I literally just got scammed, like the game keep giving me ships from the event to fully limit break and never one rossiya
void schooner
It's okay. You just need to give more.
pliant otter
welcome to the way how gacha games work
Of course, you can always give a feedback in regards of that and how they should implement a pity system so people who has rolled 10 times on the 10 times roll should get a chance or choose the girl they want, but I'm sure it has been given as a feedback before
But if enough people ask for it, I am sure they will attempt to implement a system where we might find fair.
Mind you that Azur Lane is not an extremely difficult game to farm cubes, and cubes do come quite frequently every day, so the devs might not be too interested in making gacha any more easier (especially with 7% + rate ups every event on event ships) with a pity system.
I'm not against a pity system to help out both F2P and P2P players, so I guess you can take that as a feedback for the game.
hidden bear
I dunno, AL is plenty generous already with kansen drops. If there's going to be a pity rate introduced, something else is going to have to suffer.
As for my own feedback, I feel that the change to point distribution in the Hard stages is skewed too far to being really limited.
The first event I was in, Empyreal Tragicomedy, the points for D3 was worth 300 for each clear. Now, D3 clears for recent new events, while not cut in half, are worth 180 points. I feel that the balance between points earned, oil used and time taken have been HEAVILY eschewed towards being a grind except for the most devoted players (both Time AND Money).
That first event that had 300 points, I liked doing the grinding. I managed to somewhat get to 60k with moderate difficulty.
But now, with difficulty increases and points slashing, it feels like a slog to have to not only clear the hard stages but also get them down to safe levels.
This is just my view, I know others like punishing gameplay. I just feel the points change was a little heavy handed.
halcyon hatch
Add live PVP. As in a gamemode where we join a queue and two players are matched and we can control our vanguards as usual and our skills 
void schooner
Empyreal Tragicomedy? D3 clears were 180, not 300. Maybe you're thinking about Divergent Chessboard.
lunar sundial
tbh tho he's right , d3 took me 10min to clear with a 1:1 fleet ofc and the rewards weren't that better then lets say c3 or some people out there even saying c2, u are kinda limited on what to bring and it takes way longer to clear yet the rewards are barely changed.. 
hidden bear
Hmmmmm... could have sworn Empyreal Tragicomedy has 300 points...
... Or... wait... I remember wrong. Crap. I never properly finished Empyreal... I think. -Goes to look at event medals-
Okay, I did remember wrong. But I still feel like the last Hard stage of any event should give out more points, but maybe not to Divergent Chessboard levels.
naive cobalt
180 is a standard amount of points for events like these
DC was an exception, not a rule
tame walrus
well that standard was set when buyout prices for shops were somewhere around 2/3 of this current event (not including dupe ships), I think it's fair to give us more bonus than just 800 daily points from an SP stage that barely makes a dent in the total points needed
modest storm
Really enjoyed the back-to-back events. Would love more of these in the future 
naive cobalt
glad you liked it
will try to cause more pandemics to meddle in our schedule in the future

regal elm
Make event medals obtainable on events added to War Archive, perhaps?
void schooner
Stuff in the War Archive aren't exactly active events with mission rewards associated with them, so I wouldn't expect their respective medals to be obtained through the Archive either.
regal elm
Yeah, ik, so my feedback is add a way we can obtain them through other means, such as clearing the last map of the event War Archive, something like that.
naive cobalt
i believe it was suggested
regal elm
Is it? That's good to hear.
steep mural
Please! Make Awakening Commissions a toggle/smarter. I just awakened one of my ships, and I've started getting 2-4x ACs on my dailies! Even if I took my single lvl 100 ship off the fleet I can only make one at a time, and it still would feel terribly inefficient having to take out one of my best ships just to clear these pesky ones.
formal oyster
So I know gear skins are completely optional but like they're here and I guess it's for the people to get them. But 7k gold the box is REALLY expensive for what it is, especially considering the chance of getting a plane in those. That's 70k gold spent here, which is quite enormous (especially in a main event, with the MaxLB cost for the border, the builds etc.) and I only got planes which is quite frustrating. Something should be done about this otherwise what's the point. Why would a simple gear skin cost so much in the first place and why should it be so Rng-dependant.
A rework of the gear skin system could be a solution. Making each of them harder to get but we get only one of them and can apply them as many times as we want.
But at least, just at least making the gear boxes cheaper, because with all due respect, this is just stoopid here.
solemn citrus
Not being able to get the skins as a drop this time around doesn’t help. Normally is the case with event skins like these
formal oyster
No this only happens for specific 'side-story' kind of events, like Polaris or collabs. Everything else is boxes only.
celest abyss
Italians had the same deal too yh
south plume
with the reacquiring ships idea, i don't think that it makes sense to exclude collabs from it cause you would still have to have gotten them in the first place before and have them in your collection to reacquire them. retrofits for sure shouldn't be included though, you should have to do those again if you reacquire. the reason i think it should cost a bulin (and also gold too, that's a good idea) is so that you can't just reacquire ships to cheese out limit breaks.
devout sand
Don't know if anyone shares my sentiment, but the SP stage of this event is not enjoyable at all. Restricting vision and buttons in addition to placing unavoidable bullets all over the screen... it's not fun, just extremely frustrating and a huge pain.
ripe trail
It's not supposed to be fun, it's supposed to be 'hard' (if you could call it that) as a tradeoff for a massive point drop. If you find the map annoying, then technically it's doing its job.
devout sand
If a game is not fun, then I'd say it's failing it's job. Hard and fun is a thing. See: Dark Souls
boreal marsh
i actually appreciate that they're doing something new for SP 
at least it's not the same old stuff
yea there's too many bullets, but this is a bullet hell game after all
and the blackout thing is cool
void schooner
Fortunately, you're only talking about a single stage in the game.
The one stage that's meant to make you actually have to try.
ripe trail
I do agree with -pelier, the blackout mechanic is quite nice. On the rare times I actually get hit by it, it actually makes the boss feel challenging and not just a relaxing ~17-minute walk for 800 points.
devout sand
I don't have a problem with stages requiring effort to clear. I am not criticizing the difficulty. I cleared the stage. What I'm commenting on is how the difficulty was achieved and my experience with that.
I loved the boss laser from the Kizuna Ai event(?) and think that Azur Lane's gameplay is pretty bland, so I appreciate it when the developers add something new to the mix. This time, it was eh. It appears that more people are enjoying it than not, so whatever.
@void schooner I'd advise cutting back on the snarky responses. From what I'm seeing, they don't really help the person you're replying to.
merry grove
Shows oil cost for each fleet for hard mode when selecting fleet
velvet adder
you don't select fleets for hard mode, you build them on the spot
you can always view the oil-cost in-sortie if you have fleet lock disabled
velvet adder
wondering if it's ever been a suggestion to put debuff icons under the enemy health bars in a battle?
Id like something like that
merry grove
Yea that's what I'm trying to say... to have a small display of oil cost in real time while you build the fleet so I dont have to waste 10 oil to go in the battle to see the oil cost if it's too much and I have to retreat
velvet adder
if you really care about that 10 oil just tap and hold on the ships once you have made a hardmode fleet to bring up their details and swipe to check each ship's cost
merry grove
Too much effort
naive cobalt
it was suggested
lunar hull
Can we have a sorting option "Retrofitable" that will show ships that are not fully retrofited?
pliant otter
A pretty decent suggestion after much discussion in another server:
It would be great if they could just combined all 3 plane skin types within a single series instead of separating them out into their own classification.
For example, if you got the prisoner jet, you don't have to roll for Torpedo, Bomber or Fighter variants of the plane skin. Instead, you will get a universal variant that can be equipped into all 3 slots (1 skin per slot).
The reason for this implementation is because the planes in this gacha skin cycle has an increased chance (9 out of 18), which means even if the entire skin gacha is equal in chance, it would be 50% for you to get one of the plane skins rather than 1/18 of the skin that you would prefer. Removing plane skin types will reduce the chances to 1/12, which is pretty decent in comparison with 1/18.
naive cobalt
yes, it was suggested
weary blaze
don't know if this has been suggested, it's about extra blueprints for PR ships, like for example I finished my Monarch a long time ago, full development and full fate simulation, but I still sometimes get BPs for her from when doing research, I am at a hundred BP already and they are just there doing nothing, so what I'm saying is that it would be really useful if I can turn those BP that won't be used anymore into someone else's, like to say 10 BP of a specific ship = 1 All BP or something like that
naive cobalt
special shop will be added at some point where you can trade excess BPs
weary blaze
nice
raven crater
with the reacquiring ships idea, i don't think that it makes sense to exclude collabs
On principle I agree with you but licensing issues would probably preclude including them in the list of reobtainable ships.

On the subject of patch note, I think giving previews of new added feature on social media page before the game goes live after maint would be nice, like they used to do.

regal elm
yes, stuff like that. We're getting new feature about options interface when we're defeated in battle for the next maint, so a preview of that in TW/FB will be nice.

I suggest being able to buy cubes with medals
raven crater
Honestly I support adding all consumables except drills (gold/oil/cubes) to every shop
Merit/core data/exchange/munitions (well gold in the munitions shop doesn't make sense but other than that)
void schooner
Those would be some expensive cubes if they were put in the medal exchange.
ionic adder
Well, people should have a way to get more cubes
raven crater
Personally speaking, I found gold to be much more of an issue. Ended up gemming for gold this event but I still have 364 cubes. Research really takes a lot out of you too. That's why I think gold should be added to more shops.
ionic ether
you know what would be really nice
limber mountain
Forwarded from another chat: It would be nice if some day they added at least some sort of a small gifting option (oil, coins) to other guild members... sure they could limit it a bit so there's no cheating or .. veterans giving noobs too much. But it'd be a nice gesture to be able to send a bit of something to friends. Especially as the guilds now serve very little purpose apart from some communication

Well... That depends on where you're located right? I mean if you're in Nunavut then there's pretty much nothing but winter, no?

Then perhaps in their version of AL, it's always winter at the academy. North America still has seasons (for the time being), so it'll change eventually.
wraith edge
I've been playing AL since the beginning of EN servers and there is only 1 thing that piss me off; 200 cubes and no ship. I can't drop HMS Centaur for example. But there is one thing that piss me off even more; 200 cubes, no Tashkent (2%) but 3 Chapayev (0.5%). So my idea is to make a system kind of like in Arknights which give you more chance do drop a character you don't have by not dropping it. Ok maybe not 1% more chance but at least 0.5%. And especially on the characters, not the rarity. Thank you for this awesome game, I hope it will last long and get even better

I'd like to provide feedback that the new login screen is awesome. I'd love to see more art in this style and/or by this artist in the game. It's more detailed and less moe than the typical login art since it focuses only on one character. Russia login art was ok but because it featured so many characters the detail didn't really come through, and the gray color didn't provide a lot of viewing contrast either. This is much better.
flat marsh
So they're going to let the hackers get a way for the second time right
tardy arch
no they don't let hackers (especially ones this obvious) get away with things like this. report the player via belbot and they'll look into it.

What is wrong with people in game feedback complaining about hackers ? As if whining will change anything. Report the guy via the bot and move on. It doesn't change anything for you and the devs are banning people every event in waves.
real mountain
last event they didn't do anything and with back to back event the ex leaderboard was lost, now we have leaderboard yet nothing was done to deal with the hackers. What is the point of having a leaderboard if it is completely useless during the whole duration and after the event?

the devs are banning people every event in waves.

so like, was night commissions supposed to be one hour earlier or did they really change it to 9pm
AL's EN game server is supposed to be sync'd to america's pacific time. I addressed this yesterday as the notes said it explicitly said it was going to change the time from 10pm to 9pm which is incorrect, as it always appeared at 8pm during dst time.

uhhh so is the nightly coms borked or we're borked
tame walrus
They're borked
gloomy palm
This is confusing
ornate basin
top is event summary and 2nd brings you to main event related things
event summary is everything combined like monthly login as well, its just the summary of everything going on
its always saratoga, its only ever a different ship if it takes you to things related to that ship
static verge
Idk if the northern overture event was supposed to end I'm probably just not very good at paying attention o: but I feel like if it says 2/27-3/18 it should last that long or explain you have until 3/18 to spend the coins , it might just be me though so sorry!
naive cobalt
game indicates directly that event proper is until 12th and so do patchnotes
bleak geyser
Could we get an option to disable the new 'tips on defeat'?
It now takes an extra tap to complete an exercise if you just send in weak ships to level up ><
static verge
I dont really look at patch notes as a casual player just but what I see in game o:
bleak geyser
yup, that's how long that page is there to claim rewards, not to get tokens
boreal marsh
the event map and builds lasted until 11th
but the side rewards and shops (and border too in this case), usually last a week more
raven crater
I feel like we need some aux or other equipment with more interesting effects. Equipment is sort of same-y and it would be nice to have some more variety to enable different strategies. Some examples of effects are
🔹 Give the equipped ship an additional preloaded main gun salvo/airstrike/torpedo
🔸 Reduce the ship's oil cost by X% (to a minimum of Y)
🔹 Add additional planes to a CV(L)'s airstrike
🔸 MGM/SGM +1
🔹 Change the damage/shot type/shot number of a ship's "ghost gun" (i.e., the gun that fires independently of equipment)
🔸 Increase the quantity/drop chance of plates/gold/ships/equipment BP
🔹 Direct increase to ACV/reduction of enemy ACV (would be more interesting if this could be equipped to non-carrier ships)
🔸 Influence the chance of various types/sizes of enemy fleets spawning (e.g., increase chance of cargo fleet spawns)
🔹 Add +1 to max ammo
If some of these are too powerful, you could also add negative effects or poor stats to the equipment such as reducing movement speed, decreasing stats/damage output, increasing the damage taken, etc. Would make for some interesting strategies and break up the stagnation of deciding current equipment loadout, which is very straightforward and doesn't really require adaptation in most cases.
south night
Increase the droprate would break the game
raven crater
Not really, considering how common common ship drops are. It would be the chance to get a drop at all, not to skew the drop chance towards a particular rarity (though I guess that's another effect that could be considered). Would be nice to influence which types of upgrade plates drop too (e.g., increase chance of aux plate drops by X%)
minor geyser
Thaaaank you so much for the "Decryption" fix!
tame walrus
So wait, you banned the cheaters, made the wall of shame post, but didn't remove their scores? 
crimson void
Not all cheaters were even banned, only those at the topmost of the leaderboard
real mountain
They literally just looked at score and banned anyone above 8k in EX mode, THAT'S IT. You can see bunch of other highly questionable scores on the leaderboard. What this is doing is just sending a signal that's it's OK to cheat if you don't do it obviously since there is either no effort put towards dealing with cheaters or more worryingly no technical capability on dev side to deal with them. I'm starting to loose faith in the integrity of the game.
crimson void
IIRC, the same thing happened to previous events with a wall of shame posted. I've said this before but, I hope the devs are more active against these types of players
hollow gull
Not sure how it looks on other servers but getting above 8k is possible
crimson void
It is possible, but looking on the commander level alone already tells you that something isnt right. And there are those low level players who managed to get 7k+ scores but got away with it
normal vine
at least for the EX leaderboard, I don't get why people even care to cheat, and why you all get so riled up about them cheating
there is no reward in it, so what's the point?
neon kite
they can see what fleet u used and clear time as well as how many times u attempted ex stage (most legit high scores are attempted several times, sometimes in the hundreds). It's not just score and level even though it's often obvious from that
crimson void
Well then why have the leaderboards in the first place? Its there to see how well you did the stage compared to everyone else
And besides, if people can cheat EX, what more the normal event maps for actual rewards?
hollow gull
from what i understand cheaters are manually banned and they probably missed some, probably due to being unsure of those questionable scores (im sure they dont want to accidently ban someone whos legit). the main issue now is theyve banned people but they still havent been removed from the leaderboards
real mountain
Well, I can see they literally just took anyone 8k+ and banned those, the list is even in the same order for Lexington, places 1-15 on ladder with the cutoff being 8000 points. If those are removed the next supposedly legit score would be lvl 69 commander with 7998 points with a few more highly questionable ~7900 scores from commanders around lvl 70.
And as mentioned, if people are using cheats and modded apks to get to leaderboards (some maybe getting high scores by accidentally doing the EX mode in instagib cheat mode exposing themselves) how many more players are using the same cheats across all aspects of the game?
stoic creek
Why was it necessary to change Azuma’s Live2D dialogue in EN? It’s changed completely! What was wrong with it before? It wasn’t even that lewd...
rare jay
It got a CV update. A CV update means the skin gets all new lines
The previous lines are still on her base skin
gritty belfry
are the devs looking into the night commissions both critical errors yet? the delay spawn and wrong timings
celest abyss
They're deliberate
Buddy pointed out to me in DM the ones pushed longer had rewards increased
Also pretty sure patch notes mentioned a change in night comm timing
tame walrus
I'm pretty sure the patch notes said they were moving forward, not back, and they're the same nightly commission, no extra rewards
celest abyss
Actually, at least the purp book ones give a bit more reward (coin, token), & the ones w/ unchanged length give unchanged reward
Also, it's worth noting that notes kind of fucked up times overall there, probably JP copypaste because EN used to start @ 20:00 server time but JP's used to start 22:00 server time
And I believe that patch was saying about 22:00 -> 21:00
Well - it still moved to 21:00
gritty belfry
i mean the old ways that night comissions were working fine, why increase timers? without even telling us? that is not considerate. I for one dislike this, and the time spawn def has to change, thats an error. the book may give more exp and stuff but the drills now take up to 8 hrs, drills are sooo common, shouldnt have 8 hrs, regardless of exp increase.
raven crater
The night commission spawns are definitely wrong. If the announcement was to be believed, they should have opened an hour earlier, not later (Idk when or if they actually opened since after the time change they spawn at 11 PM for me and I go to bed before midnight)
celest abyss
It says changed from 10pm to 9pm
The 10pm is erroneous, they started at 8pm server time
It did still change to 9pm server time though
raven crater
So basically for people in daylight savings they just moved them two hours ahead instead of counteracting the time change?
celest abyss
*two hours back
raven crater
Er, maybe the terminology isn't clear, I am basically stating "it takes two hours longer for commissions to show up post-maintenance compared to before daylight savings, if you're in a timezone that observes daylight savings"
celest abyss
Ah, that would do it, time is confusing to specify in English LMFAO
oak wharf
The music in the Russian event is good. It's the kind of music that won't bother you while you keep grinding for many hours, and I think all event music should be like that.
Although I've only grinded on world C and D so I'm not sure if A and B have different music.
I think at one point during this event, I had to listen to the old Fallen Wings OST https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1RLH3J-TX8
please stop reusing this song 
like i get that this is the song that usually plays when there are Sirens
and it's supposed to be ominous
but the new Russian event music also achieves that ominous sensation while being less annoying
so I think this should be the replacement for that
orchid kelp
I think it’d be nice to be able to turn off backline ships displaying their full art when launching an airstrike or barrage.
raven crater
I feel like this has been suggested
orchid kelp
Oh has it? Sorry I should’ve checked before.
ornate basin
it has been suggested
covert oriole
I don't know if its just because I'm an idiot, but I thought when buying gems it was your first and ONLY purchase that you would get double gems. I didn't know that each GROUP ($10, $20, etc) has the double gem bonus individudally. Might help to make that more clear because some people (me) were hesitant to buy any gems because they wanted to see how much they liked the game first to determine if they wanted to go BIG for dat fat bonus. Lol...might help out more with new user splurge purchases for you lol.
Non related PS: It's of my opinion that skin prices are WAY too high, but if you get a lot of people buying them, more power to you.
celest abyss
you do realise skin/ring purchases are where most of AL's income comes from right
Because it doesn't force whaling to pull/obtain cubes
covert oriole
Yes, but because they're so expensive, i wont buy them = $0 made - Like i said if they're doing fine off whales then more power too them if im the minority. But yeah
celest abyss
I mean
Skins are just cosmetic
They're not locking big gameplay benefits behind paywall
And ya a lot of people buy them lol
If that's not your thing, spend gems on other things
But I really doubt skins are too high price
raven crater
I'm sure that Yostar analyzes their revenue and profits closely and that they price the skins and provide discounts to the best of their ability with the business data that they have
covert oriole
I dont want my actual possibly helpful response to get buried because of my lil PS comment but yeah basically what Navi said - im sure they've found out the way it is best. oh well sucks for cheapos like me 🙂 I bought gems but not for skins, so they still making moolah even off people like me 😉 great game! keep up the good work
hollow pelican
hmmm, is it just me or the russian event was too fast?
i mean too early to finish
boreal marsh
its just you
hollow pelican
did you manage to clear the event exchange?
boreal marsh
yes
hollow pelican
ohh
boreal marsh
i mean if we're talking bout duration of the event, it's the standard for any major event
void schooner
2 weeks is the standard time for most major events. The only difference between this and some others is that there's more stuff in the shop (mainly the PR2 prints) making it more expensive to clear out.
Even more so if you're trying to pull more than one event ship dupe from the shop.
hollow pelican
i manage to get 1 copy of each ship on the exchange and both the BPs all of them, the new guns both the blueprint and the DD one and the rest just bought the coins for limit break mission since theres nothing to buy with what remained on my tokens
neon grove
Idk if i have the memory of a potato or something hit my head, but iirc special background show up in the character's portrait
void schooner
You'll probably have to be more specific.
crimson void
Do the devs have no intention of addressing nightly comms appearing 1 hour later instead of 1 hour earlier? Kinda weird that it wasnt fixed in the recent hotfix
raven crater
I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly hate that the night comms are 1 hour later because I'm on the east coast. 11 was tolerable but midnight is way too late. I literally can never catch them on the weekdays anymore.
Even today I have to get up early tomorrow so I'm going to bed soon and won't be able to catch them tonight either
elder garnet
Suggestion to give front most vanguard xp boost just like the main flag ship to make vanguard PR grinding little less painful. Because not everyone want a Yuubari in their vanguard fleet.
south night
You know that vanguard overall cost much less than backliner right?
Iike a monarch grind fleet can cost up to 50~60
While sanrui grind fleet only cost about 40~50
So the bonus exp flag is to make up for their high cost
pine sequoia
There used to be waters behind her
@neon grove Are you sure it's not the big card one like in the Formation menu?
ornate basin
objects dont appear in portraits in dock
shy briar
how r the oath skins for ships decided
i mean i oathed monarch but she doesn't have an oath skin, so will she be getting in future?
while hood has oath skin.
is there an order for giving oath skins or its random?
south night
Its decided by a popularity poll
scarlet dune
Sell us Love potions that will increase ship's affection, the grind is too long. It'd be easier if we get potions that'd make this faster. Hell, even a potion that has similar effect to the Marital boosts in the New Year events are welcomed too.
south night
that sound very wrong
formal oyster
Would be nice to add an option for each ship on this menu to disable oath hearts that are popping on a secretary oathed ship.
grave bramble
I dunno if it matters any, but i think i found a bit of a design/translation error, possibly
Sovetskaya Rossiya has a skill called Lod Obstrel, but it should be Lyod instead. Lod would be Лод and Lyod would be closer to Лёд. Or even Obstrel L'dom/Ldom to save Russian grammar. apostrophe shows a "soft" sound in Russian language
lone aurora
can we make this item more flexible?
like listening to music outside of battle
halcyon crater
outside of battle, you can just look up Inochi, Fake Fake Fake, or I Can't Control Myself from AzKi Channel on YouTube though
i mean that's what Ankimo cycles from every battle
thin egret
hello, one thing came to my mind. What about make all the planes being able use the same weapon skin? I mean, every big event we get 3 exactly the same-looking skins for fighters, dive- and torpedo-bombers. But you know what? Not a single of them could be used for BBV recons.
not to mention it's an extreme pain every time, since these dupes ruin the rates
everyone want to get some other than damn planes skins... but still get them
and now, with all that pain turns out, we can't use any of them on BBVs
this is ridiculous
I mean,
(please, don't add 4th separate skin)
tardy arch
iirc this was suggested before. was a while ago though.
thin egret
oof, I see
seeing it's "high" priority with not fixed yet for over a year is kind of depressing
naive cobalt
I should ditch Priority thing since it only confuses people 
Priority is just judgement by us on how easy it is to implement/how often it is asked for
thin egret
well yeah, I know it's not an direct todo list for devs
still this
just judgement by us on how easy it is to implement/how often it is asked for
is what still frustrates
velvet adder
How about... Use Coins as Slot expansion, room expansion, and skill classroom expansion? Not just Gems but they are kinda expensive
void schooner
It's a nice try, but I'm sure you knew the answer to that question long before you even finished typing it up.
snow juniper
hah, true. My question: would it break the game if Graf Spee/Deutschland could be classified as large cruisers?
With access to the azuma research gun and the heavy armor plating
tame walrus
Break the game? No
Be a really big buff for both of them, thus the devs won't do it? Ya tbh
south night
Well, they can use large cruiser gun, but only triple 283mm sk c/28, but not azuma gun
Being a large cruiser mean they can use azuma gun, aka triple 310mm prototype, which they cant do that irl
snow juniper
the big deal would be the heavy armor buff. While the azuma gun (or any bracketing HE gun) would synergyze well with their anti-small craft role skill much better, it would only make a difference vs clustered or shielded enemies.
for the rest their ap gun is actually better.
timber echo
Is there already a suggestionfor a "damage repair manjuu crew" auxiliary gear?
void schooner
An SR one-time use Phoenix Down aux gear?
rain mulch
Ik i cant suggest this
But just hope devs here can suggest this to manjuu devs
Hope there is Vestal BB version xd
void schooner
You knew you couldn't suggest it, yet did anyway. Nice. Unfortunately, though, this is as far as it'll go. But you never know, such a ship could already be in the works, waiting for a rainy day sometime far into the future to be released.
hollow gull
arent the cheaters supposed to be removed from the leaderboards when the wall of shame is posted?
woeful shale
Can we enable Fleet Lock for Sub Maps? 🙂
snow juniper
fleet locks for nonsafe maps too
turbid arch
Hi devs,i have a problem with azur lane.It's the battery for playing azur lane.I realized this when event "Northern Overture " started.Until today it still continue.Before that,i just lost 1% battery for playing azur lane about 5-6 minutes but this issue make my phone drained battery faster,now i lost 1% battery for just 2 minutes playing azur lane.Many people like me have the same problem.Although i had tried many ways like reset phone,redowload game,... but it not solve the problem.All of us who have battery problem think that it because of the game,i use other app and it took about 10 minutes to loose 1 % battery.I hope you guys can fix this by a hot update as soon as possible or give us a guide on facebook sever EN to help us because i use my phone a lot and the battery problem made my game's experience bad.
Thank you
torn void
battery usuage isnt really games problem, its your device that lacks battery capacity
also that other apps use less power isnt really comparable
For example azur lane uses in my case ~0.25% per minute and thats ok
minor robin
or turn down your fps, brightness, sound etc
AL has always been quite the battery drainer, and the addition of 60 fps only caused more batt use
it is possible that the snow particles on the stages caused a bit more batt use in relation to non-plane hell stages but really it's minor
torn void
also every devices battery is going to be less performant with time
raven crater
It's been suggested already regardless to have some "low graphics" options for performance purposes which would also probably help with battery life as well
turbid arch
thank you guys,i will try these .-.
turbid arch
@minor robin thanks for your advices,i think the sound is the main problem,after i turned it off,my battery became better with 4-6 minutes for 1% battery,better than before
cursive horizon
Honestly, just letting Azur Lane idle for a bit cause I walked away during an auto-fight, I'll notice significant drops in battery power. Insofar as I've been able to tell only Azur Lane does this.
raven crater
If you leave your display on yes that will drain your battery power
cinder cipher
have they ever considered making buying food expansion more worth.? it’s p expensive gem wise to max out and I feel like more ppl would be incentivized if it weren’t just adding more capacity but could mb also buff xp rate or increased morale gain
formal oyster

I reiterate because I'm starting to realize how really annoying this is and I really hope we could have this option.
I can't enjoy my Zara L2D anymore 
torn void
This hand kinda doesnt look right to me
naive cobalt
she helds it in claw manner, just like another hand
ornate basin
due to angle fingers disappear completely under first joint
torn void
makes sense yeah...
ornate basin
dont worry she didnt get random baby hand
cursive horizon
Definitely agree that the cost of food expansion isn’t worth it. I feel similarly about the extra floors, too. They don’t give me an xp benefit and I’ve never had ships drop low enough to need morale.
formal oyster
It gives an exp benefit if you powerfarm and level up ships at the same time, keeping you at 120+ for the +20% xp bonus. Though if you really farm a lot, even floor 2 can't keep up which is kind of a shame. You'd expect the ships in Floor 2 to never drop below 120 and keep the xp bonus no matter how much you use them.
solemn citrus
Floor 2 does actually increase exp cap from furniture though, so it is worth it
compact meadow
Just a thought, though it might be a good idea to have a dropdown when you pause the game in combat which shows active buffs/debuffs.
void schooner
Would knowing what buff/debuff is active at a given time benefit you in some way in regards to gameplay? It doesn't seem all that necessary to me.
compact meadow
Knowing which ones get overwritten, yes.
minor robin
I mean buffs don't get overwritten unless you're using similar skill on multiple ships
I.e similar name like artillery command cruiser and artillery command escort don't stack
It's been suggested regardless to see what buffs there are
raven crater
@minor robin it's a bit more complicated than that, since "similar name" isn't entirely accurate (though your example is correct). For example, artillery command cruiser and tactical command cruiser DO stack even though they have "similar names."
Maybe having buff icons above the ship's heads or something might help... maybe with the face + number of the ship skill that is active? Idk. But some way of knowing what skills are actually active would be great
minor robin
Yeah I'm aware of that, just didn't want to get too in-depth with the explanation
It has been suggested to display buffs in some form, since the blue/red flashes don't really show the whole picture
hidden bear
So, the Ryuujou event has a point buff for certain ships sortieing and surviving the boss battle.
But no mention of this special point increase was mentioned in the patch notes nor in the in-game notice.
Only way I found out about it was accidentally putting Takao into my party and suddenly seeing a 50 point increase in SP3 clears.
And then checking the game wiki.
vivid igloo
Hello, it's me again.
Checking out meowficers, I noticed almost all of the ones I kept requiring to be Staff Cat. After checking wiki, I noticed, there is barely any cats that do not require being Staff Cat. As so, I would like to suggest future Meowfficers to either require to be Command Cat or do not require it at all, or second suggestion, rebalance current meowficers to be less biased towards being Staff Cat. Added pic of what current meowficers require and what skill levels have requirement for certain positions.
proud stream
Regarding Launch Ceremony commisions:
I’ve never heard of anyone actually receiving a ship from them, and considering how rare these commissions are, the low reward seems silly:
Getting one Ship, even an Elite one, isn’t a very big reward. More than likely it is a ship you already have, and it might end up just being a reward of 1-4 medals. (Same story with SSRs but I’ve only gotten that commission once in my many hundred hours of play, so forget that one)
One could think they might be intended for early game players, but they are all so rare than a player is unlikely to get such a commission within the first many levels. And that is even without bringing up the very low actual drop rate.
Can’t you perhaps make it a guaranteed drop once the commission is completed?
I doubt it will any impact at all on the game’s economy, but it will have a large positive impact on the player’s day,
-as opposed to the current disappointment that the Launch Ceremony always brings.
raven crater
I can confirm at least that as of a few months ago they do actually drop ships sometimes now. Not good ones, but they do drop
naive cobalt
Also it's still a good commission for coins/dorm tokens
proud stream
But the name centers around the launch of a new ship, so it really should give one.
Which pool does it draw from anyway?
