after 1.5 year of playing I've only received a single ship from it: Leander. Came from the lvl40 version too so it doesn't even guarantee the ships rarity
snow juniper
pls fix launch ceremony yes. I dont remember seeing a single ship from them (or it was common-rare)
celest abyss
Launch ceremony is already fixed
And may I note that map drops show [elite] / [super rare] silhouettes but don't guarantee that rarity, or outside boss S rank even a drop either?
neon kite
map drops aren't the same thing such as commission rewards. Afaik all commissions reward give what the icon shows if u score Perfect on it. The only exception to this is launch ceremony
rare jay
Yes, Launch Ceremony seems to be bugged (or at least it was last time I got it) to where it'd show Perfect when it shouldn't. But that's just a display issue as you shouldn't have gotten a perfect
celest abyss
Ah yeah that. Thought you were complaining about the low droprate, my bad
neon kite
yea I know about the display issue, wasn't complaining about that, but just wanted to add my 2 cents about the drop rate so ur right actually
naive cobalt
Yes, Launch Ceremony seems to be bugged (or at least it was last time I got it) to where it'd show Perfect when it shouldn't.
I believe it was fixed a while ago, but not 100% sure
rare jay
Never lucky enough to get them so I cant say 
normal vine
Launch Ceremony gave me a ship the last few times I got a Perfect on it
but it would be nice if they could only give displayed rarity and the one below
feels kinda bad to do the big one with the chance for a SR ship and get a white one

tardy arch
yup. the game recognizes the ('s as illegal characters. no idea why.
carmine ginkgo
yeah 😦
I don't think it's just me who feels it but this game doesn't fit in the 12+ category considering some of the skins they have. In which case, they should be more flexible on naming limitations. and update whatever they use on in game chat cuz that doesn't work at all 
tardy arch
iirc using jp or at least some jp characters also counts as illegal characters so really, the whole naming system needs to be redone. 
raven crater
All non alphanumeric characters are forbidden, including accented characters and kanji
I couldn't even rename "Emile Bertin" to remove "Retrofit" from her name because she has an accented e in her name. Had to get rid of that to make it work lol

Kanji isn't forbidden afaik, nor is katakana. Hiragana is however forbidden for god knows what reason. Got several ships named using those so I can confirm they do work unless they changed it recently

Piggybacking off of Yumemi's suggestion, a "mini game collection" building in the academy would be fine. Just let us select various mini games from events (or at least mini events) to play any time we want
solemn citrus
Kinda sucks that the point rewards on SP3 are lower for the higher requirements Akashi questline than the Ryuujou part. Means you are forced to grind this subpar event exp for longer even if you already have Ryuujou
south night
You do realize you can grind for akashi point outside event map right?
rare jay
You can farm normal maps though 
W8 or higher is equal or higher than SP3 rewards for Akashi coupons
solemn citrus
Still, point gain should be equal at least on sp3. Especially since there are red book rewards on both sides
raven crater
equal to what???
south night
Akashi reward go up to 22k(?), while ryuujou reward onlu go up to 10k tho
raven crater
If you're saying you should get an equal amount of akashi coupons as J talismans, for one they use two completely different reward trees and for two you're already at an advantage in SP 3 as the levels for SP 3 are 68-76 for mob + 4 battles to level 80 boss while in world 8 mobs are level 79 and it's 5 battles for a level 80 boss. SP is easier.
Or just do a higher world than level 8.
Either way, all rewards above 10k are tryhard rewards. The event is balanced so that main reward at 10k is achievable even playing at a relatively casual pace, while the higher tier rewards are meant to reward more hardcore players but are correspondingly less unique/useful
solemn citrus
It’s 5+boss for SP3 though
So lower exp gain, same amount of battles, and less points
south night
Then just grind outside SP3

level 8-1 is better because you only need to do 4 clears for boss instead of 5 or 6

I am sorry if this was already suggested, but what about adding interactions between shipfus at dorm? For example they could exchange one liners. They could pretend that they are discussing something (showing emotes in clouds) or anything similar. Also, maybe one of them wave (or any other emote) to greet Commander.
In my opinion, this would add flavor and spice up experience, when you spend time at your dorm.

Consider that there maybe complications because the devs aren't fully back in office yet cos of the virus and might not have the manpower to do the update swiftly and properly

Regarding clearing mode in normal, is there a specific reason why World 13 isn't affected (yet) ? Still considered too recent ? Or maybe even CN/JP don't have it for whatever reason ?
minor robin
CN/JP do not have it either
formal oyster
Alright, makes sense then, thanks 
raven crater
Gonna guess that since W13 introduces a new mechanic (command ships) it's considered to be slightly different than the previous 12 worlds and so they didn't extend the clearing mode to that world deliberately
naive cobalt
if I have to guess, they prolly consider it as "challenging content for users" so don't want to remove ambushes since it'll impact difficulty in a big way
maybe after we get W14 13 will also be updated
grim flame
Now that fleet lock is a thing, i think it would be pretty good to add a morale indicator at MVP screen where it shows the EXP gained. Right under the EXP bar, it should have another gauge of 0 ~ 150 where it shows the morale of the above ship.
there's some space above the character 'card' that you can sort of push up and add in the gauge, or below the dotted lines works too. Since heavy grinders can now grind a lot faster and have to constantly check for the morale of the ships on 2nd floor, this addition will make my life easier.
raven crater
I also approve of some numerical indicator of ship morale post-battle
cedar torrent
Add a VIP tier list based on how much a player spend in the game, added effects be like have priority logins into the game, have early access etc
raven crater
Priority logins
I don't have words that are both strong enough and appropriate for this channel to describe how I feel about this, but it ain't good.
But, a VIP system that maybe gives you a discount on Akashi's shop items or something would be cool
minor robin
That's gonna make the game less f2p friendly so not taking it
especially on account of priority log ins
raven crater
As a primarily PVE game I think a VIP system is fine provided that the perks aren't at the expense of other players (like priority login). Also especially if the VIP system gives you perks only related to purchasing (basically, in order to take advantage of the VIP system you would just have to keep spending money)
cedar torrent
Oh its due to this delay or slow connections, so give the mega spenders some breathing space
raven crater
Or, they could just fix the servers (which I think is the current plan)
cedar torrent
Yeah so after every maintenance, big spenders get priority access, so is like they dont have to queue and have priority check in or something
Its not game breaking, but it give the spenders breathing space

@regal elm that doesn't help with Avrora and Sandy - the two oldest servers - being over capacity, though
since you can't transfer your account away from them to one of the newer and less busy servers
regal elm
yes, and I'm suggesting the new server as default server for new players
normal vine
it already suggests the newest server
what would help, though, is locking those two for any new users, if that's possible
regal elm
yeah, and direct to either two other servers or the new one
shell bramble
Game servers don't have any major impact on day-to-day gameplay (except perhaps pvp), so devs will decide the best approach to load balancing their traffic.

but the overcapacity directly hinders ones ability to play the game, so they do have a major impact on gameplay. Can't play if I have server issues every update just because of the server i chose

because we've had 3 updates in a row where sandy has been killed, each time requiring additional time to get it back up and running. each time it got worse, meaning this time it fully broke to the point where the server needed a full overhaul.

Extend time crunch events when maintances extend too far, 5 cubes does not compensate for all the downtime

it also doesn't help when players don't read. 5 cubes was for the tiny extension from the expected 6h

i feel like the ability to hold 10 pvp entries was to safeguard against situations like this, and not to facilitate sandbagging, so if you lost your pvp entries from trying to sandbag i dont really think the devs care at all lol

well, 10 tries is just 2 resets - 1 when you were sleeping, then 1 when maint started and then in this case we got more maint until another reset for a total of 15, so...
solemn citrus
Is it supposed to still be season 1 BP’s in the Saratoga event? Or should we have s2 this round?
sour shoal
I strongly dislike Maritime Escort maps. The transport ship doesn't really "tell" you which direction it intends to move. Which twice resulted in the fool thing running into a mine when it moved in the direction I hadn't cleared in advance. (Both times in different directions at that, so it wasn't even consistently stupid!)
A simple arrow on the ship's tile telling you "I'm moving this way next" would do much to alleviate this annoyance of idiocy
rich bridge
did you role back again?
thats why you kamakazi into it b4 thay do eve i know were it go's then again i pasiv math its moves
tame walrus
while I agree with dranikos's suggestion, it actually does have a set path (at least in CE3) and if you know what it is you can guarentee a clear with 20/20
sour shoal
That only works if you already know the path however. I did not, and there's no logical way in game to know it in advance for the first run.
(Yes, it's on the wiki, but the wiki is not in game, it's an outside resource.)
Highlighting the path in advance, or a simple arrow would both make that less of an issue. (Heck, if it's always following a set path and I'm supposed to escort it, wouldn't Naval HQ tell me the path in advance? Fridge Logic dictates that it makes less sense for me to not have that information before going into the mission.)
tame walrus
to be fair there is a logic behind movement (sirens, your fleets, etc) and it's noticeable enough that you could figure it out by just observing
however in CE3 the fleet your protecting actually breaks this logic so it caught me off guard the first time I ran it anyways. I'm still agreeing that it should be displayed but there are ways to make guesses (even if they end up being wrong)
sour shoal
Yeah, that's what I was doing, was guessing. I'm just annoyed I was wrong twice given my perfectionist nature. (And the fact that an open path existed that would have gotten the ship to the end with 0 damage taken instead of 4.)
Semi-Related topic, I feel that the fleet formation screen could use some form of display to let you know when your fleet is stuck at Move 2 (instead of 3) in Movement Limited situations. (One of my two fleets being Move 2 was an unpleasant surprise, though admittedly I should have foreseen it. Thankfully said fleet was Fleet 2, which I didn't need to use anyway.)
I'm a big fan of increasing information available to the player, clearly. But those are my 2 main pieces of feedback. A Movement Limit display (in formation, or when picking fleets for a map) and some way to know where the Transport is going during Maritime Escorts.
raven crater
Similar to the stat totals at the top of the fleet formation screen, maybe they could add a "stat" for MOVE i.e., the number of squares your fleet can move in maps where movement is limited
sour shoal
Exactly. Though some solution would also be needed for Hard Modes where you pick each ship manually rather than a pre-formed fleet from your formation list.
I know Movement is supposed to be derived from the "Speed" stat, but given that Speed is also a stat hidden from players, that can be unhelpful at times. (For example, nowhere in game is it listed that Avrora and Yat Sen are Speed 19, making them the slowest Vanguard ships. With only a handful of truly outdated Main Fleet girls, like the Monitors, being slower)
sour shoal
So, to a certain extent, just listing the Speed stat for ships would be enough (and making it clear that, as is logical, you're limited by the slowest ship in the fleet. It's not a total or an average or an aggregate, it's the lowest score among the fleet)
barren kestrel
Not sure if this is the right place for this but will this feature ever be finished? The "Coming soon" is there for quite the long time now ^^' (to the point i completely forgot this thing existed until I decided to do all my Retrofits)
celest abyss
It's already been suggested to add more
Only devs know if they will do anything
But given it hasn't been updated since game release
I wouldn't count on update
barren kestrel
Thats a shame i liked the fact that there was a goal in raising all ships
flat vector
raising all ships contributes to fleet tech which is the goal
barren kestrel
That got boring very fast as its barely noticeable compared to for example unlocking a new shipfu/Gems/Dorm furniture/gear etc.
sour shoal
In fairness, most of the new Shipfu aren't great gameplay wise (Ayanami being an obvious exception)
That said, I did enjoy the thematic elements of the collections (like the "First Carriers") more than just the mindless "Max them out" grind for Tech Points if I'm being honest. So I'm also a bit sad to have seen that tabled in favor of just mindless grinding for tech.

Also idk where to suggest this to manjuu
Maybe i just put it here, in hope dev here, just SS my chat, then send it to manjuu's devs
- Add more normal "historical" nation chapter, while present chapter is againts japan ships, add more chapters for againts german, america, british, italia, russia, etc
-- and add unique drops (specific nation ships + gears)
-- current chapter againts japan is 1-1-1 to 1-13-4 (if the max IJN chap is 13-4)
Other normal chapters is 2-1-1 to .... , 3-1-1 to .... , etc
-- every normal nation chapters have their own challenges
-- every nation chapter 1-1 enemies have more level
Example : ijn chapter 1-1-1 enemies is lvl 1
German chapter 2-1-1 enemies is lvl 30
Etc..
(Depend on you, devs
You can just make 2-1-1 is lvl 120, if last ijn chapter is 1-13-4, but its not healthy for new players, just stick on my suggest area)
-- also to open specific normal chapter, need to clear previous specific normal chapter
Example : to open 2-1-1, need to 3 star 1-8-4
To open 3-1-1, need to 3 star 2-7-4
Etc...
(Depend on you, again)
Hope this suggest accepted, to expand non-event AL contents, its healthy for us :)

It seems to me that the mechanics of gaining experience by ships need to be improved ... Sorry, but English is not my native, so I will write as primitively and simply as possible:
We have LB and the mechanics of awakening.
Because of these mechanics, ships cannot grow above certain levels and gain experience from commissions. Several times I was bitterly mistaken in this mechanics (I sent a level 80 ship on a mission for 18,000 experience and only after a minute or at the end remembered that my ship had insufficient LB for this, so I got 0 experience from mission instead of 18,000.
Today, I was faced with a completely absurd situation, when I had 2 level 99 submarines on the mission, they both sat in the dorm, one of them got level 100 until the end of the mission, and the second did not. And so the submarine, which had level 100 at the time of the end of the mission, got 0 experience from the mission, and the second got level 100 and 17 thousand experience over it.
The game has a mechanic that allows ships to gain experience from battles, even if they have an insufficient level of awakening. Is it possible to add the same mechanics to missions?
Also, while I was writing this, I remembered another problem.
In the game, if you are too lazy, you can click on the “Recommended” button and the game itself will pick up your ships for the mission, this mechanics works fine .... until you upgrade all your ships to level 70+. This is where the problems begin. The game starts picking up ships with a low LB that don’t get experience from the mission, so you either have to agree to this or go manually to search for suitable ships ... Is it possible to change this mechanics so that the game picks up ships which will gain experience from the mission?
I also have a suggestion for improving the “Has Retrofit” filter, when you apply this filter, it filters the ships only by level, which causes some inconvenience, because ships of different rarities require different levels for a retrofit, so you need to look for ships that have not yet reached the maximum leveling of retrofit ...
My suggestion: Let the ships without full retrofit appear at the top of the list, and the ships with full retrofit at the end (as it happens for example in the ship skill leveling menu when ships with the max skills are at the end of the list).
And a couple of small improvements that I would like to see in the game...
Between major events, I begin to accumulate gold, which has nowhere to spend (buying cats or gold boxes for 25 thousand or improving the equip on ships that you don’t play, I consider it a stupid waste of money), at the same time there comes a time when your merchant reaches a limit of 10 000 and you begin to worry that you are losing money, which you must constantly spend on “improving” your account (ships). At the moment I made the maximum retrofit to almost all my ships, there are only a few ships left that will be finished in a month and I will constantly have a problem with an overabundance of money. Could you add the opportunity to buy food for a dorm for gold? Also buy oil for gold, these would be reasonable ways to spend extra money.
A few months ago I reached the maximum leveling of one of my ships (120 level 3 million experience), then there is no further accumulation of experience. Could you add some analog of free experience from World of Warships so that you can play on your level 120 ships and use your extra experience to improve your other ships? Yes, we have a Lecture Hall, but this is not what I propose. These two systems can work in parallel. Lecture Hall for ships of level 100-120, free experience - “content” for ships of level 120.
carmine ginkgo
Or like.. ships that have 120 3Mil can get exp as an item that can be used on a lower level ship to level it up to some point but I think that's a very different kind of leveling up
minor robin
It has been suggested to make the "advice" button on commission smarter in choosing ships (avoiding level capped ships)
It has also been suggested to have a "retrofit" filter
And your issue with gold is kinda unusual, since there are far more complaints about not having enough gold
Because research consumes an extraordinary amount of gold
Doing that should solve your "too much gold problems"
It has been suggested to make gold convertable to oil in some form
And the lecture hall is already a sufficient feature regarding excess exp being given to other ships, no reason to add more really
cinder stirrup
i'll solve ur too much gold problem !
just go and buy 15 cats everyday
normal vine
being able to buy food for gold in addition to oil would be nice, though
sour shoal
I'd like to see an added "faction" to the Fleet Technology mechanic to give use to Tech Points originating from the "Minor" factions (Parliament, Iris, Vichy, etc) as currently the only benefits to these ships are the stat boosts for having them at all and for reaching 120. Meaning there's a big gap where they contribute nothing to the mechanic. Take, for example, Sovetskaya Rossiya. In theory she's worth 196 Tech Points to max out. In practice, because those points don't contribute towards any of the 4 existing pools, she's worth 0.
This could also be used for the minor event variants like the Polaris Muse or the younger versions like Akagi Chan or Zeppy. Given those variants DO count for / against 100% roster completion, but do NOT contribute anything at all to Fleet Progression. (Collaboration ships, being excluded from counting towards 100% roster, would still be excluded from Tech progressions)
Another option would be to have each "minor" faction contribute their points towards a Major faction they have some ties to. By way of example, Vichy points might count towards the Ironblood pool. Or Dragon Empery might count towards the Royal Navy.
finite dawn
@minor robin
Yes, I know about research, but this does not solve my "problem" with gold. Food / oil for gold would solve this problem.
The Lecture Hall does not solve the problem with extra experience:
- Limit on ship classes on a specific day. You cannot train your bb for a entire week. Only on the day when you have the right "teacher".
- You cannot send 1 ship to receive all 57 thousand experience for training, it receives only part of the experience, if it is one, you are forced to send 5 ships so that they receive 11 thousand... experience?
- It also has a tight time reference, you can start training only 2 times a day (well, if you're a little tricky, you can run 3 times a day for the ship you need
- You cannot train a ship at the same time in a dorm and at the lecture hall.
- And this also does not solve the problem with level 120 ships with 3 million experience cap.
Well, this is not a problem that interferes with your game, but it is more a psychological problem. When you play a ship and understand that it does not get absolutely anything in battle, except for 20% of the experience for the LH, which you do not really like.
minor robin
the idea of the 3 million level cap is to make future levelling past 120 easier
the additional 3 million was the solution made to the problem of not being able to level past a certain cap
raven crater
I mean, the 3 million stored EXP is still basically just a 3 million EXP buffer from the original problem of "what do you do with EXP after a ship has maxed out?"
It doesn't really solve the core issue, it just delays it
finite dawn
I do not think that developers need to make ships above level 120, level 120 is enough ... Look at World of Warcraft, which is faced with the problem of too high levels.
Developers can do chapters above 13 with different mechanics, but not by raising the level ...
raven crater
Also the conversion of proficiency to EXP is kind of garbage. It's better than nothing, but I find that the dorm is more efficient. It would be nice if the auditorium was more worth using, or maybe if after a ship hits the 3 mil cap then 100% of its exp gets converted to proficiency instead of a lesser percentage based on auditorium level

Not sure if this is the right place for it, but thanks for the purin and 200 apologems. I love you devs
barren roost
First of all, I'd like to thank the devs for (finally!) giving us clearing mode on normal non-event maps. This is a big step towards making the game truly user-friendly.
Now, my two salty cent on the PR research system (I should have done it before).
My main issue with PR system (apart from mixed research projects, which is, honestly, a b**ch move towards new players) is that there's gear that doesn't belong there. Example: gold twin 410mm main gun, also known as "the confetti gun". The worst super rare event gear, the worst gear overall in the game. Literally no player ever uses it for serious play. During autoplay it gets even worse, it's that bad. Yet someone thought that putting it into both research systems is a good idea!
There is a 138.6mm DD gun (which people kept grinding round the clock, me included), a High Performance Fire Control Radar, a Vought F4U Corsair (best all-purpose fighter there is). All these are event locked, the last two were single instances in Fallen Wings event, which only happened once in the Global and probably never reruns again (why, I'm curious?). Where are those? Why not put only actually useful gear in such a resource-heavy game system? Not to forget that free projects now don't even give a guaranteed drop.

Maybe some form of skip/sweep in game for stages (normal/hard/event etc)? just asking as someone who sometimes dont play for x days due to work and would want to use all the oil that hits the limit every time. For example to unlock this option for x stage players would need to 3star it + lower the threat level to 0 but using this option would eat oil as if someone was clearing the stage fully to get the star for "defeat all enemies" and maybe ~100 gold per sweep +2 min real time for 1 stage to get swept/skipped to not make it select stage>sweep>get easy gold for something

Please add a ping for escort. I didn't even know this was going on

it was mentioned in the patch notes and there's an icon in the list - how much more obvious can they make it?

I think he's suggesting that if you haven't done your escort run for the day it would put a 1 there like it does on the top event icon
finite dawn
@normal vine 
There are people who don’t read patch notes, if my friend didn’t tell me that escorts should be done, I wouldn’t even press this button until the very end of the event.
normal vine
that's on you, though, innit?
"oh, there's a new button, wonder what it does?" ignores it
neon kite
Well, I didn't know either and had I not come to this channel I would've missed the entire event as well. I don't think it's too much to ask to make the ux clearer (by adding ping as suggested), it certainly wouldn't hurt anyone would it?
reef basin
hard to tell there's a new button when its just 3 girls with pink hair zzzz
it also doesnt show up when you go to events
Could have easily put it on the bottom bar or something. There's just still a lot of inconsistently with how they manage event UI
also pretty sure its not your job to argue with complaints in this channel

To be fair I read the patch notes and almost forgot about it too yesterday. The fact that the 3 icons looks really alike doesn't help at all. Either change the icons to be more noticeable or add a ping like suggested could be welcomed.
When it's a daily routine to see this whole screen multiple times a day, it's very easy to just miss it because it doesn't stand out at all.

@flat vector i know, but im using a meme to express my thoughts on the game lol
reef merlin
I have recently got into submarines and I also noticed Koln Retrofit has a skill for fighting submarines, while the skill itself is good the fact that the Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri is locked behind an event which is very unlikely to be rerun anytime soon. Im not asking to rerun that event I am asking that the Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri be put in another place for players to get when they get to farming it.
finite dawn
@normal vine Yes, because developers often use these buttons to send us to the event maps, which I usually open through the battle menu (I have such a habit).
And I also don’t like reading patch notes, I like to explore everything in the game by clicking on the buttons, but yesterday I went to the events menu and there was such a tab “Hibiscus-scented idol” (in which the buttons are mixed up by the way), and when I pressed there on the "Mission" button, the game opened me an event map of Ryuujou event, so, I thought that the Escort button does the same thing as often happens in a game.
Well, also yesterday was a very bad day in the game, and a huge number of missions were added to the missions tab, so people (like me yesterday) could have no time or energy to look for some additional event buttons. Because the game started to work when I already had time to go to sleep. 
In any case, all such events should have a ping for new content, because when there was Polaris event, you had to damn 3 times to watch the ping from the girls instagram: first she wrote a post and you got a ping, then that she answered you comment and you got a ping, then you again received a ping without any action, it was damn annoying. Really after this it was impossible make ping for this button "Escort"? 
ornate plover
Not sure how many people ask for this a day, but can we at least know what rates drop only ships have to drop on a map. Not knowing the drop rate is infuriating and makes the game experience worse. Even if the rates are shown to be absurdly low, it would at least be a hint at how long you can expect to grind for a drop. The recent maps in ch11 and I’m sure beyond that have had less ship drops in general making the already low drop rate seemingly worse. Boss only drops are not really my complaint because they are only attainable once per map run. Drops like Agano and Sendai are annoying because the should be able to drop anywhere and yet I only get them on boss nodes. I’ve only ever gotten one drop ship on an escort fleet and that was the 7-4 IJN carrier. I’m not asking for a change in drop rates, I only ask for the rates to be known.
flat vector
Devs are aware that the rates are hidden and that people want to know them.
formal oyster
I mean... knowing the rates won't make you drop them faster 
ornate plover
I know it won’t, but at least I can gauge how long I can expect to grind for a drop
ornate plover
I’m just stuck on 11-2 after getting 4 or more drops of the other SIX elite drops on that map, but Agano still isn’t there after over 300 attempts
I even found out that Glowworm drops there despite the wiki not saying before I mentioned it
naive cobalt
she won't appear faster if you know the rates
formal oyster
Not really... Look at event build, some ships have 2% drop rate, yet you can get them in 2 cubes or 600, it's just rng. You can't really gauge anything, especially for Elite and higher rarity ships, because they would have that kind of drop rate
Just as an example, I got 3 Niizuki these past 3 days. My first 3 actually, because I didn't get one in one entire year of 9-4 farm, and not occasional farm, I farmed it a lot. 
celest abyss
Drop rates are server side, devs chose not to release them on purpose
naive cobalt
It'll only create more frustration for players
celest abyss
And I'll note that when you have percentage - people tend to think game owes you that thing after so many runs/pulls
ornate plover
I get that. I’m just annoyed is all. I’ll eventually get her and move on to the next one. at least I’ll be done with elite drops once I get her
Sorry for any annoyances
naive cobalt
Yes and if you will know that she was "supposed" to drop 100 runs ago - you'll just get more frustrated
It's fine

As said above, it is likely that knowing the rates would just annoy you even more.

dunno if it has been suggested before. but... can it be made so that the PR countdown when you switch a ship, reset when you've completed that ship? I finished neptune this morning and I can't grind anyone else now till tomorrow
(was grinding nep before then switched to ibuki since I had finished nep 2M. switched back to nep to pay for her)
void schooner
Looks like it's working as intended, though. You switched from one PR ship in development to another in development, something the game tells you very clearly will trigger a 24-hour cooldown period.
In any case, I believe what you're asking for has been suggested before.

Missing out on events because of server down will just lose the game players, thanks
Or perhaps another alternative, give out a day worth of resources/currency/cubes/gems to all players in said server
Experience is much trickier, and prolonging event durations might mess up the event schedule and stuffs
So yea in short, give out stuffs that is on scale with the time players can't utilize
timid trench
they usually will compensate for this kind of thing anyway.

will they compensate the merit loses? Or event points? Or EXP I couldn't grind for Ibuki? I don't think so.

Current escort missions are in desperate need of some sort of notification when they're available.

viscid moon
Just my random concern, maybe unfounded but:
We have had three major events (Polaris, Russia) and now this after a 2 week hiatus... Not sure how reasonable it is in terms of gold bulins to get the medal especially if there's 3 SSRs
minor robin
For one, Polaris didn't have a chat border and it was delayed due to the virus outbreak
So if you went to MLB all the ships there, it's not the fault of the Devs
And there is a 2 week break where you can get 2 from weeklies, at least 1 from medal exchange and 1 from PvP
And more during the event period itself
So it is perfectly reasonable
velvet adder
There's one in current saratoga event too
minor robin
And wasnt one given as compensation for the server issues?
velvet adder
Yeah
Although that shouldnt really count since it wasnt really planned
But yeah, about 6 should be relatively easily obtainable between events
minor robin
So you can get 10 by the time the events ends
Or 9 if you discount the extra one given on maintenance
Not to mention chat border lasts an extra week so you can get even more
velvet adder
It would be great if it was possible to switch between the individual fleets in pvp mode. So far, each character has to be replaced individually.
minor robin
And that's ignoring the fact that the chat border is purely aesthetic feature
It's been suggested to have multiple fleets in pvp

This is the game-feedback channel not the general!
normal vine
I gotta say, I'm not amused by the unannounced rollback on Avrora
minor robin
For one, it's not server wide, only some players are experiencing it
It's not that they're rolling back every single player
For two, it's not even everything that's rolling back, it's rather inconsistent if anything
That's because the rollbacks are caused by the server disruption and not something the devs are trying to do to fix it
If you are experiencing issues, you can contact support and tell them what you've lost
And hopefully they'll be able to give it to you back
normal vine
I have no fucking clue what I earned in the 4h of playtime that the server forgot about

I'm not sure if it's been suggested yet. But, I want an EXP (ship level, not skill) consumables for all ships please. With all new ships coming out, I couldn't keep up with commissions and dorm leveling. So, an EXP consumables would be amazing to instantly level your shipgirls.
If that's too much to ask. How about a new commission that rewards more EXP but requires higher ship level (maybe lv100 min) and the duration will be longer.
spare tulip
On the contrary, in my humble opinion, it is one of few things that is actually super fun to me. What I mean is levelling your favourite shipfu from the start, to finish. Now, I know that many players don't have much time to sortie a lot, but this is why dorm/commissions/lecture hall is for.
void schooner
Can't keep up with dorm leveling? How does that work?
raven crater
I do agree that leveling ship girls from about 110 to 120 is quite a slog (I just farm 12-4 over and over again but it still takes forever). A super commission or something where you can only bring girls that are level 100+ but for EXP would be nice
tiny hound
One thing I'd like is making maps (event/campaign) less tedious to grind after danger level gets knocked to 0.
cloud sable
Isn’t it already easy with fleet lock on every chapter (except chapter 13), which lets you avoid ambushes completely ? Like what more could you ask for?
tiny hound
Honestly, skipping all the trash nodes. It's just so tedious having to click through 6-7 nodes before hitting the 1 Boss node that you're looking for... doing this 60+ times just kills my motivation to play.
I would like to be able to just skip all that shit like in Hard Mode... just being able to hit the boss fleet right out of the floodgate.
minor robin
That would make grinding too quick and easy
And make the game unbalanced cos there's no basic challenge involved
So no, we're not taking suggestions to straight up remove trash nodes on normal mode
Especially with ambushes already removed
It's fine for hard mode since you're already limited on attempts
tiny hound
I see, lol. I thought after doing the map 20+ times just to hit DL0 or fulfilling other reqs it would be fine. Since thats like doing the exact same battles 140+ times.
Maybe even a reduced Trash Node count after some time...
minor robin
The compromise given already is in the form of danger mode where allies do more damage and enemies do less, and the fleet lock which removes the formation screen and now the clearing mode which removes ambushes so you can run fleets without high evasion more freely without worry
It's just in the nature of gacha games to be grindy really
And given AL's "stamina" mechanic can be practically infinite if used right, it's an appropriate balance
tiny hound
I can definitely see those mechanics as helpful, but I also can't help but feel the game has gotten significantly more tedious since starting on launch. Especially since the trash node count seems to scale higher when the difficulty bar rises. I don't mind the difficulty and the mechanics to address difficulty, but they don't really tackle that core tediousness from having to do 7 nodes before hitting the actual prize. Those are just my thoughts.
Maybe taking out trash nodes completely is an extreme request, but putting a low cap on how many trash nodes one needs to face after DL0 seems like a fair resolution... I know you say the trash nodes appearing in such numbers gives an appropriate balance, but I do think there is a limit to that... and AL seems to have passed it. At the very least, I notice my desire to really even open the game has taken a significant hit thanks to the trash nodes... My boats are able to do W13 content without issues, so I can tell it's not difficulty I'm concerned with. Anyways, wanted to voice that... I didn't know if it would be taken as feedback, but I wanted to voice it nonetheless.

QOL suggestion: for maps like 3-4(that drops an SSR ship with super low chance) , after doing such map for 1000 time , it becomes like hard mode(only boss appear) but the boss requires 3x or 4x oil, this'll help unlucky people only , I can say I'm on 2000+ runs rn 3-4 , still no akagi , so something like this will help a lot

Will the Olympic skins still come out despite the Olympic games being cancelled? 
brisk pecan
I was just curious as the games were only cancelled a couple of hours ago. Thanks though 
Yea, will do

how about add a button for the lecture hall to repeat the session with the same ships so i dont have to search them out again

i want to add 100$ pack gem. Currently, the highest pack is 80$, but it hard for me to buy gift card. So i want to buy 100$ gem pack, please addd it on the shop
it is not conveniant when buying 80$, because i need to buy a 50$, a 20$ and a 10$ gift card. i like to buy instant with 100$ gift card
velvet adder
i want to have your problems
normal vine
or you buy the $80 and the $20 packs with your $100 card
scenic flower
Instead of 'has retrofit' filter in docs you'd better rename it to 'retrofittable' and make sure that it won't show the fully retrofitted ships.
normal vine
I'd call it "can be retrofit"
is retrofittable even a word?
scenic flower
well, the name doesnt matter. I just want to skip the completed ships.
tame walrus
I like to see even the ships with completed retrofit anyways
That's the main reason I likethat filter actually, so I can accurately tally which retrofits I've done and not done
distant pasture
suggestion: make ships that have already been given in monthly login reward available in the core shop (or in one of the other shops)
when i started playing i retired some of them because i didn't need them at that moment, but currently regretting my actions, especially with hatsuharu retrofit coming to EN server
minor robin
They're added permanently to build at a later date

there is light construction
distant pasture
ooh thank god

hatsuharu should be there

okey then im just cursed

Suggestion: add ship filter by "Locked" status
winter lance
It would be a welcomed addition to have a firing range/target practice mode that costs 0 oil to enter and has a practice dummy with a ton of HP to shoot, shell and torpedo strike. Just to test out your ship formations and synergies.

shouldnt SAP CA shells have better light armor modifier? According to WOWS they never overpen, so shouldn't they be better at light armor than AP CA shells and worse against heavy armor?
raven crater
Instead of 'has retrofit' filter in docs you'd better rename it to 'retrofittable' and make sure that it won't show the fully retrofitted ships.
@scenic flower
I like to see even the ships with completed retrofit anyways
@tame walrus
What if when you filter ships by retrofittable it sorts them in ascending order by number of incomplete nodes (such that completed retrofits are at the beginning), with a sub-sort by level or rarity so that you can tell when you get to the ships that aren't complete
Or just add a sort option separate from the filter option that does that and shoves ships without retros at the bottom
tame walrus
I mean that might be cool, but it's not that bad as it is due to there not being a lot of retrofitted ships in the game, for me it's the difference between a quick swipe to find the lower levelled girls vs scrolling through >100 ships just to start finding girls who are low enough for me to want to do something with. I don't need much more than that
dire isle
Optimization: even without thread level, sos missions should have a "Clearing Mode" button
void schooner
There are no ambushes in SOS missions, so they've always been in "Clearing Mode".
tame walrus
Clearing mode includes fleet lock as well now, so they're not quite there yet
void schooner
Oh, fleet lock is bundled under it now. Gotcha.
dire isle
I mean: when a fleet atks any node, preparation screen is not need to show, It can be skipped.

sullen kite
When your fleet move from node to node, there's no way of stopping the movement so this could be inconvenient especially if you misclick some node that you are not intended to go.
So if you can stop while moving from node to node, things could've more convenient
trail flax
Current Akashi collab event is not time-friendly for workers. I am thinking if some event mechanics can be deleted or redone to be time-saving.
Just farming 10000 tickets is tiring on last hours.
Event mechanics need some major changes
Like Auto-Battle, not AI controlled
Just make it show result of battle as an alternative. You can still control your fleet if you want
And remove popping enemies at Clearing mode in Events
Just show all of them
And add path creating mode
So you can mark which enemies you want to sink and order to attack in order you made
minor robin
@sick hare could you refrain from adding wheelchair emotes.
sick hare
Sure
trail flax
Wow... never knew that people can harass here for alternative ideas
sick hare
You basically asking events to be easier and quicker to do. Making AL more of a afk-game than it already is...
sick hare
Thats why it is shit But this isn't a place for convos, so I'll stop👌
minor robin
Not the place for arguing either
trail flax
Okaycan
minor robin
There's no harm in suggesting it to make it "more AFK friendly"
though obviously skipping nodes entirely is out of the question
trail flax
I mean if it's Normal maps, I don't mind old stuff, but events like current Akashi event shows that it needs some changes
Just make it Events-only after making map on Safe and Clearing mode
minor robin
Sorry, no to that as well
real mountain
I wasn't affected by the rollback issue so I don't particularly care in this instance but I hope completely useless compensations will not become the new norm. The people most likely and heavily to be affected by interruptions are people committed to the game and playing a lot, ie the same group of people that most likely are clearing the event shops or at least clearing it of anything valuable anyway. Event points mean nothing.
raven crater
I mean if it's Normal maps, I don't mind old stuff, but events like current Akashi event shows that it needs some changes
@trail flax They could just increase the amount of currency reward instead of implementing up with these extreme new mechanics you're suggesting
You could solve most of the grind issue with any event that way, tbh
minor robin
In this case the issue was less of maps being too hard to grind and more of lack of event currency
We will definitely feedback on the event in particular but well
It's already almost over
And even if we did bring it up earlier, it's unlikely it would be changed
old dew
Unmm can we have rerun please
minor robin
We don't take suggestions on when to hold what events
old dew
Oh ok
trail flax
They could just increase the amount of currency reward instead of implementing up with these extreme new mechanics you're suggesting
@raven crater I didn't thought of that, cause I thought that was developer's intention.
velvet adder
Suggestion: currently the secondary passcode prevents scraping gears+unlocking , but it doesn't prevent Gem spending , so I suggest adding Gem spending to it too
noticed that they provided rollback compensation in the form of currency for the events
but saratoga jangu or whatever currency wasn't there
is that just an oversight?
sullen kite
This could be a little bit excessive laziness suggestion: Can we have a sweep button for all stages in all modes (except storyline hard-mode) after we have reduced the threat level down to 0
And there are 2 kinds of sweep: one is all-out sweep mode, which means you will clear all enemy nodes on and will appear on the map, The second one is swift sweep mode, by mean that you will only focus clearing all enemy nodes at the minimum amount until the boss node appear. Two of them in one push in the button cause i seem the current method of farming is a little time-consuming.
and yes, i know this'd be cheaty and cheesy
raven crater
It's already been suggested
sullen kite
should i delete this?
raven crater
velvet adder
your message in discord? no reason
but yea, I mean we already have auto mode and fleet lock, where you can just push a button every 3 minutes and accomplish a full sortie that way
if events are still too grindy all that can be adjusted by changing the amount of event currency rewarded, no need to implement
uh glasses Sweeping changes
sullen kite
hmm, i guess that'd be too cheesy...
faint ingot
Complaint : enough with the Cygnet skins, give other ships some love, including some very loved ships like Leander
scenic flower
I would like to have the 'super-duper fleet lock' mode, so all the animations in the map like radar, sub fleet attack, movements and other stuff were skippped. You just see a map, click on the node, and the battle begins right away. After the fight you're on the map again, the new nodes are already here without shit. OR. Just skipping subs attack animation and accelerate the movements would be neat.
merry grove
Cygnet getting another fking skin? when sanrui skin?
tame walrus
they don't take feedback on skins, but in this case I think it should be noted that the ships that are loved on EN servers arent as noticed on other servers
can't really say anything about cygnet specifically but keep that in mind
celest abyss
Not a dev but that really looks like it could be a mistake
solemn citrus
JP is getting the VF-18, which is the FW AA fighter. Think they mistyped for EN there
solemn citrus
Well, the purple TBM is listed as a core data shop on the wiki, as an ASW plane
grim flame
im so happy that EN is taking another direction props to our devs !!
solemn citrus
But seeing as how we’re now a year and a half since FW and never got a rerun and there’s a new Minne skin this event
celest abyss
Hm
I could see the error being Catalina instead of the ASW plane and VT-18 instead if VF-17
But ya, wait for dev
solemn citrus
Would be a bit insulting to a large part of the player base to not have Minne available either during this event or shortly after, though. Seeing as how her event ended in November 2018 and hasn’t seen a rerun on any server since
celest abyss
Devs do not take feedback on pacing, sorry
solemn citrus
Thank you I know. This isn’t feedback on pacing, this is on business practices that while annoy a lot of newer players
Releasing new content for a ship that is still very strong that was a one time run 16 months ago before the game even fully launched and nobody has seen anything about in that time
celest abyss
Fwiw, Minne has been missing for that length of time on all servers
Also ultimately is up to devs & artists who gets skin
I get that you're irritated, but kind of out of our hands, ultimately is up to when devs decide to return her :wars
echo cipher
Please do ask the devs to confirm the core shop updates for april because yeah that seems fucked
VF-17 never
solemn citrus
I have Minne so I’m not even in the affected group. I’m asking, as I have repeatedly, for some consistency from developers
flat vector
They consistently release new skins for girls that are unavailable. Otherwise, devs are aware that people who do not have the girls of said released skin want said girl.
solemn citrus
Most skins of the sort (Baltimore in this case) are both of a relatively (few months) old event and can have a reasonable expectation to be rerun soon. FW has been run once on both JP and EN and Minne was only available in that version for CN - she’s only ever been available once with no word outside. That’s the problem here. It’s locking new advertised content solely to legacy players who may still not even have her or may have scrapped her
If you just want another feedback which I repeat in here often, why did it take us this long to get the Hatsu and Amazon retro’d? They’re not game breaking. Both ships are still t3 at best. Other servers had them months ago and they’re not tied to an event
Same thing with other ships/skins such as Swiftsure and the other Memphis skin that even TW is getting before EN
There is a decided lack of consistency and the devs keep saying they want to be consistent without actually doing anything to promote it
grim flame
Imagine releasing a skin for a ship that was only released exclusively a year and a half ago
solemn citrus
Oh and there’s still the eternal punching bag of Sirius and her swimsuit skin. Which I recall somebody saying we’d get when EN got a rerun on WC.... which happened a year ago now and still no word on that
shell bramble
Unfortunately, everything you've brought up is a matter of content pacing, which we are unable to accept as feedback at this time.
solemn citrus
At this point it’s not even pacing
shell bramble
I don't mean to downplay your concerns, and while you are free to express it here, please recognize that it can't be collected and passed on.
solemn citrus
It’s half truths and misdirections
Is the plan for EN to be synced with JP/CN still a thing
Or should we stop believing what we’re told and just accept things as they come
solemn citrus
It’s more than “just a skin” and this is an issue I’ve been bringing up for months as they constantly wheel around the point
solemn citrus
So no response to my last question about intent to sync. Again.
harsh sundial
Can we have the ability to toggle autofight outside of the 'weigh anchor' screen? like somewhere on the map, or on the strategy tab
velvet adder
Uh, why?
harsh sundial
with the new clearing mode its hard to switch between auto and manual with the mode on
it just takes you into battle
harsh sundial
thats the problem; i just want to tap once and leave my phone on farming until its done
velvet adder
Then you have absolutely no use for manual
harsh sundial
alright maybe. this idea only came to mind because I had to manual 12-3 boss. I dont trust my fleet on auto for that particular boss.
velvet adder
You can always turn off fleet lock right before you attack the boss, and then flip auto off on the preview screen
Then just flip it back on next sortie
tame walrus
that's more steps than should be required given the nature of clearing mode being to take less steps
I do think there should be the auto button outside of the preperations screen when clearing mode is enabled
velvet adder
More steps than required? It's literally two taps to turn on manual. And if you're manualing that should be acceptable
tame walrus
that's the definition of more steps required yes 
velvet adder
If you're so lazy just auto
harsh sundial
its just a button
velvet adder
I mean I get it, I'm that lazy
But I just auto
ornate basin
we dont take feedback on new ships sorry to say

Oh.....then nevermind
lofty ivy
This may have been suggested 30 times but my quick look with the search bought up nothing.
Would it be possible to look into being able to select what art shows on the main screen when we log in, obviously this would be overwritten by event main screen and other special screens.
south night
If we have a favorite system for ships, can we have a favorite system for gear too? 
tardy arch
having the selected title screen be overwritten by an event screen would mean you only get to see your selected screen maybe once every 2 weeks.
lofty ivy
Would be nice though for when we do have some downtime.
tardy arch
ik. just the "have it be overwritten" thing would be kinda pointless. the main suggestion is fine.
high rune
So in many other games, after you download voice pack, most games updates voicepack along with the game client every time you get patch, automatically.
Why is AL manual voicepack update 24/7? What's the point of making DLC update separately and not auto update when game client updates?
compact steppe
im assuming packs are for skins?
ornate basin
this is the same question as #tech-support 
its going to be the same response
you can suggest to also download the voices and l2d packs during the updates by choice, but suggesting to download them regardless of consent is a different thing all together and we wont take it because of its original purpose
high rune
Yes.
Most games when you don't have voice pack loaded, it will not patch voice pack, because it doesn't exist.
Meanwhile, AL, every time we update client, if you got voicepack we gotta manually update.
@ornate basin you obviously did not read what I'm typing at all.
Most games when you don't have voice pack loaded, it will not patch voice pack, because it doesn't exist.
@ornate basin
Again, meanwhile, we gotta update voice packs manually every time
compact steppe
also im not sure if this was suggested, but it would be nice to have a skip button after battle if we don't care about items or exp gained or just take us back to the map
ornate basin
you mean restart the app to actually update the data? I dont know what you're saying by this
and I know I am potato brain, but im still not understanding the suggestion at least
just a question
naive cobalt
they suggesting for voice data to be updated automatically after you download it once
solemn citrus
Basically, if I’m understanding him:
Voice update should happen with the standard update files, not have to be done separately every update
high rune
@ornate basin
Okay, shut up and listen then
Current AL client is set to download voicepacks manually. Most games already does this. You're confusing this part with my question.
My question is, if voicepack is already installed, why do we have to manually update it?
compact steppe
basically, voice pack gets included inside when you update game before starting
high rune
@solemn citrus thank you very much
naive cobalt
@high rune no reason to be rude
solemn citrus
i.e., when you patch for patch day it’s just added to the files you download anyway instead of adding extra steps to go in and download again
high rune
@solemn citrus exactly
compact steppe
but if we did have patches over audio for small fixes, it doesn't require one to update everytime
i mean, sometimes i go between event updates without ever downloading audio, game is fine, i see no problem
high rune
@compact steppe well but why wouldn't you want audio patches. it's part of the full game experience, especially if you opted in to it
If I opted in to it, I should get patch auto too, considering all game patches are already forced anyway
The fact that voice patches are separated from game patches are weirdest design choices in my opinion
if they're patch, just roll into one
compact steppe
i guess they could add a option somewhere, but id rather them make the don't show auto battle notification actually work
every time you relaunch the game, it shows back up
naive cobalt
it's once a day
high rune
it's once a day
compact steppe
im not sure, i switch between devices
high rune
I do wish it was more like once a week myself
compact steppe
so it shows up a few times for me
i'd rather just have the ability to disable it permanently
celest abyss
Oh ya speaking of voice files
Could we perhaps get an option to delete them aswell? In case you never wind up using em lol
high rune
considering I also will never take it off auto mode
naive cobalt
@celest abyss it was suggested
compact steppe
which was why i wanted to suggest auto returning back to map as a option after battle
high rune
@celest abyss there is
||it's called factory install||
unfortunately it does nuke all data not just the voice
I don't think most game have this option either though
compact steppe
would be better when farming maps
high rune
it's either you nuke all or nuke none
compact steppe
theres the repair data, but id what it would do
celest abyss
Not going to factory install just to nuke voice, hence the suggestion
compact steppe
delete and reinstall data?
naive cobalt
anyway, i think all feedback was given so we can stop here?
high rune
yeah repair data nukes your data, hence I said "factory install"
compact steppe
repair data reduces app size?
celest abyss
Yeah let's stop here
high rune
welp, I'm probably going to post it once every while because why not
compact steppe
is there a clear cache somewhere maybe? if not they could add it
high rune
because why not
naive cobalt
because it won't achieve anything that's why
compact steppe
i would like a auto return to map function though for clearning mode
if we have fleet lock, why not auto return to map
naive cobalt
auto return to map?
compact steppe
after battle it just puts you back to map
its minor, but if you don't care for the items received for the exp for ships, might as well skip it
compact steppe
yea
naive cobalt
oh, ok
high rune
@naive cobalt it also technically should be QoL and not Sound/Voice because it only pertains to sound voice because it's what it patches but really it has to do with how we receive Sound/Voice, and it's not problem with the Sound/Voice themselves
compact steppe
i have voice turned off most the time since i don't need to hear skills activating for 1 hour when i farm so i don't notice issues usually
it would be QoL though i guess
naive cobalt
got it added as well https://trello.com/c/x4vluFPY/1033-skip-reward-screen
compact steppe
high rune
it's QoL because it pertains to update-receiving, has absolutely nothing to do with voice/sound otherwise
@naive cobalt
naive cobalt
Yes, you said it already
compact steppe
QoL is anything that helps you save a few taps?
regal elm
talking about skip screen, an auto button for scenes will be nice too
compact steppe
also a feed all option for the dorm would be nice too
high rune
So why isn't it updated yet? @naive cobalt
regal elm
Yes, story scenes, event scenes, whatever you call it
high rune
which admin do I ping to request this overrided
celest abyss
Stop please
naive cobalt
noone
compact steppe
i would just leave it in voice
celest abyss
You've given feed back
It was added
high rune
It's not correct though
high rune
Welp, nobody is perfect, and I requested nicely that I want this re-reviewed
naive cobalt
I know trello's structure better than you do
your opinion on classification was noted, but goes against system we have in place
please stop
high rune
if it pertains to way game patches why is it in voice and not in QoL?
high rune
no it pertains to way I want to receive patches
regal elm
Auto button where the dialogue in scenes plays without having to tap the screens every time, if I have to elaborate
naive cobalt
@high rune I asked you nicely to stop as well
next time won't be nicely
high rune
@naive cobalt I'm here discussing civilly about sound update file. If this is not right place to do it I ask nicely where I can go and do this.
how about that
naive cobalt
that is not what you doing
celest abyss
You have been asked to stop multiple times.
naive cobalt
you gave your feedback and your feedback was noted
now you just active aggressively for the sake of it because you disagree with category
category won't be changed
compact steppe
this seems really nitpicky about a low priority suggestion
high rune
Well, I first asked if I can get the mis-labeling fixed. It was denied at your judgment. I requested it taken a re-look at. All of you denied it. I asked why it wasn't OK. All you said was "it goes against way we manage things" and did not specify why
naive cobalt
nor is it relevant for you since trello is for internal usage mostly
it's open only so people can see what was suggested
high rune
Welp I don't code anything that's like saying we should have internal saying in how we code AL
that's now going way off topic though
-
I request, again, to have that re-looked at and moved to QoL because I believe patch issue should be QoL, not voice/sound issue.
-
I just asked again nicely where I can proceed to discuss this and I got nothing yet.
My DM is open if you want to chew me out there you're more than welcome.
naive cobalt
@regal elm Sorry for that
Got it added for you https://trello.com/c/Pg4ZhN9e/1034-auto-for-dialogues
regal elm
It's fine, thanks for adding the suggestion 
wispy thunder
because I believe patch issue should be QoL, not voice/sound issue.
it's not even an issue though... I can understand QoL should make the game easier, but speaking of voice files doesn't gave too much QoL impact for the game itself. That's why it's placed on the Voice/Sound category.
high rune
@wispy thunder not going to continue this here because mods are asking not to
high rune
k so back to here
L2D auto updated when game patches at the start of the launch of the game, instead of L2D files requiring manual patch, isn't a bad suggestion either
if this is already in, my bad
naive cobalt
I can just make audio and l2d into one card I guess
since it's pretty much same thing
ornate basin
I would too
high rune
thanks
spare tulip
I am commenting it in a good favor. I would like to ask devs to make extra reviews of maintenance, new skin/ship presentations, and event posts. I feel like random typos in those posts are happening too frequently, and it may be received as rushed, or what's worse- unprofessional. It creates unnecessary fuss, which then needs to be resolved (consumes time anyway). Typos do happen, we all do make mistakes, but please look into it.
Sincerely, Nefarrian.
naive cobalt
Yes, we brought up issues with patchnotes with staff. Mistakes are not intentional obviously, but they'll look into this whole issue. @spare tulip

I honestly can't remember if I said this already but Karlsruhe retrofit's chibi has one turret too many. It's not a super important detail but in case someone get's bothered by it. Some other ships probably have this sorts of mistakes too
raven crater
Fwiw, I like being able to download audio and L2D separately, since it helps the initial additional download to be faster
Hmm.... maybe it could give you an additional download prompt like where it has the "download additional data" to say something like "There are XX MB of new audio files" with "download now" and "download later" buttons, and do something similar with L2D
charred matrix
Most likely there was a similar suggestion already, but: it would be nice to have some sort of low mood indicator if your fleet is in fleet lock mode.
carmine ginkgo
show the mood in the map on the side where you see your fleet members maybe?
velvet adder
did anyone ever suggest to add an in game timer about how long the maintenance is going to last? would be a neat qol improvement especially as the notice doesn't mention the start of the maintenance
deep anvil
I'm guessing that he wants a timer that players can see at the login screen, since that part is still accessible
raven crater
Tbh I'm not sure Yostar is confident enough in the duration of maintenance to add such a thing, since it could end earlier or later than the timer rendering it pointless and misleading
deep anvil
Considering maintenance time has changed before, that is a good point
velvet adder
A third download option for higher res cg's 
some early art is really low quality probably 480p or less
velvet adder
honestly the timer can be extended or shortened as needed, so we at least have some general info about when login is available again. i know several games with a timer on the loadscreen it shouldn't be that complicated to add it and modify as needed if an extension is due
tame walrus
it's still easily misleading, and would serve to frustrate people when the devs decide they need more time and add to the timer rather than be helpful
velvet adder
at least add a time they started. as it's always stating the same amount of time which is more misleading i usually log in around 9am local time or 1pm and still don't know what time it started. so the first time you log in and see yea 10h mainentance may as well be till 11pm or smth like that in your local time
shell bramble
It always starts at server reset time though
tame walrus
you could check twitter for that, but I suppose having something that says what the current server local time is would be cool
shell bramble
At least for the scheduled, non-hotfix
velvet adder
adding a server and local time would be nice for event times as well as maintenance ones
pine sequoia
You know, there are ton of applications which you can set to display 2 or more different time zones at the same time. Even my native clock app can do that thing too.
velvet adder
i know but it's more comfortable to be able to see it in game instead of having to tab out and such. it's just quality of life stuff which is nice to add. same goes for the go to the Facebook/Twitter page for more info instead of an easier way which immediately displays infos on the login page. i don't use Facebook and i don't wanna unnecessarily start another app to check on the game status i rather just continue playing something else and just check in way later.

is there any way to see what got a rollback? it's hard to see sometime also very unfortunate if you lose a new event ship to it
somber rain
thank you for answering 
naive cobalt
not rolling when server in flames is the safest choice
dry pond
Just make a screen recording of you doing your rolls
solemn citrus
Server wasn’t in flames when I rolled though
So now because it is I’m likely to lose stuff done before they went down
tame walrus
I'd do basic stuff (not rolling) like daily quests and just kinda not push it too far
velvet adder
the only reason for a rollback should be a game breaking exploit or glitch anyways
naive cobalt
not that kind of rollbacks
it's not the "devs consciously made a rollback"
it's "server doesn't work so it didn't register whatever you did in the first place"
velvet adder
oh ok I thought it was the intentional kind
woeful scroll
not rolling when server in flames is the safest choice
@naive cobalt but till when are we sure that the server is no longer in flame
naive cobalt
when people are able to log in and entire server isn't rioting would work
somber rain
on another note just want to point out that patch notes don't mention that there is Limited Rental outfits available in this event (3 being Baltimore, Intrepid and z46 new skins).
I had no clue there was until i got in before i got kicked out
rich bridge
can the dev's have the flag be made animated in the boxing in fashion?

Would it be possible to make a queue after the maintenance ending instead of every time people overwhelm the servers?
flat vector
server issues are known, wait for it to be resolved
This isn't the channel for server complaints
velvet adder
can you guys make a post about it in #game-news so people coming in are aware of the situation?
minor robin
Am typing one right now actually
velvet adder
thanks
plain wharf
Can devs change something about how post maintenance goes? The entire time i've been playing, servers go down after maintenance without fail.
even AFTER they did extra long maintenance this time
minor robin
This is notably a issue that's only occured during the last 2 updates when the server traffic increased as a result of the various lockdowns around the world
normal vine
suggested it before, suggesting it again, but I'd really appreciate if the devs could move every other update to 12:00 server time, so it's not always Eurasian players getting shafted
minor robin
There's been updates where absolutely nothing happens at all
I mean, 12pm server time is 3am for the staff
Not very reasonable to expect people to work at 3am
turbid loom
you would think that after all the server issues recently they would be prepared for this. The server issues have been around since before global lockdown so who knows what they are doing
minor robin
No they have not
turbid loom
Sandy has been having issues for the past 2-3 months
turbid loom
at this scale, no. The server issues have been escalating since a bit after Christmas.
minor robin
Regardless as far as I'm aware, those were usually limited to specific regions to begin with (usually SEA)
And not server wide
In other words different causes
Moreover with the current global situation, it's more difficult for them to fix such issues
So please be understanding
tame walrus
servers are still up btw, and quite stable might I add, it's just the login that's being a pain
plain wharf
on the topic, i've also had bad experiences with tech support/customer service; It's been 2 weeks and tech support still hasn't responded with and email or in game support message
lapis mountain
Considering the server issues these past few updates and the fact that people haven't been able to play for several days in some cases, a suggestion for how to mitigate the impact of this would be to extend the event periods from 2 weeks to 2 weeks + several days
reef basin
once again, lexington wasn't really having problems and gets shut down because of other servers
naive cobalt
all servers had issues
dim river
Suggestion: splitting up serves with high capacity, so this doesn’t continue to happen after every update.
raven crater
I think the developers are well aware of a variety of methods they could use to fix this issue
But it will come down to variables that we don't know or understand as to how they actually address the issue, such as cost, speed, and implementation feasibility
tame walrus
that would be a bandaid fix at best for our current situation and leave a lot of servers feeling barren after this stuff stops
turbid loom
but there is little to no interaction between members of a server except for 3(?) events and pvp. both of those could be handled by a parent server
normal vine
problem with splitting servers: they have to keep friends and guilds together
pale sigil
but we can't login
spare tulip
That's most likely due to everyone trying to log in at the same time
solemn citrus
Avrora still not accepting logins
grim flame
i know yall busy with corona virus and working at home and all, but this is kinda trash, just announce a 12 hour fucking maint
forest cipher
Devs, implement a log in queue.
boreal marsh
y'all, this is game-feedback
solemn citrus
And the feedback is, we can’t get in to the game despite assurances otherwise
gloomy mauve
yep
raven crater
soft arch
On april 2nd 2019 i posted some feedback about the game getting more and more buggy and it impacted my enjoyment of the game, back then i was wishing for more quality control. Over the course of this last year, the quality of the game has just gotten worse and worse.
To be extremely honest, i have lost faith in the developers,the game went from mostly working fine a year ago, to glaring errors (missing art like with Dido's event) which could be caught if they playtested before releasing the patch, to now server issues and rollbacks for days. How can a game go from mostly fine, to so extremely rough around the edges that im feeling like the devs dont treat their own game with respect, and im playing some kind of experimental alpha build.
The reason why i have lost faith is that every time a person here made note of it, they were told the feedback was relayed to the devs and the game just got worse and worse instead.
sullen kite
uh...
gloomy mauve
I totally agree
mighty shoal
Just glad to know I’m not the only one having issues logging on.
sullen kite
A little bit dangerous but fair point
round wedge
Clearly you can still complain in tech support now that the channel's locked down
forest cipher
this is a prime example why you shouldn't even let everyone try to log in at the same time on yourside. just add a queue or simply stop players from logging in for a minute or two with an ingame message saying so. plenty of solutions to alleviate this problem thats been ongoing for so long, but thats the most simple way that is basically guaranteed to help
raven crater
I think this is a special situation as the impact of the corona virus has heavily driven up internet use worldwide resulting in widespread connection issues both specific to the game and also in general to the internet at large.
Surely there have been some issues in the past but I think the current situation is extenuating circumstances
forest cipher
yes the current situation is affecting it and why this time it isn't as big of a problem. but this has been going on almost every patch sinnce the UI update. which was long before corona pandemic
raven crater
Honestly haven't encountered any noticeable issues before the pandemic. There were occasional maintenance delays yeah but when maintenance was done it was done
gloomy mauve
- Adding New UI
- Ignoring Dorm and Cats
velvet adder
tbh I always had network errors after maintenance for around an hour so i think doing a login queue would be optimal
forest cipher
theres literally no reason not to implement traffic alleviating systems like log in queues.
median nimbus
Corona isn't really a valid excuse. You should know the player count and be prepared for incidents like those
velvet adder
not only is the server still not stable, I also got rolled back losing all new gacha ships. very epic
pure narwhal
Actually, I noticed some performance issue a few months after the new UI. However, the game had improved prior to the "Under the Mist" update.
Now it's just rollbacks and connection errors.
flat wadi
cursed so them not having all hands on deck to work on it and potentially working remotely isnt
forest cipher
@velvet adder probably just lost your stuff due to the same nnetwork errors not recognizing what happened with your account rather than a rollback. they uusually mention about rollbacks
cloud sable
Im also pretty sure they did implement an queue system, at least for avrora, so they might just be testing that out atm, before they rolll it out for other servers too
median nimbus
If you prepare properly you wouldn't have the issue of having to be there and working on it
forest cipher
never seen a queue for avrora.
avrora is literally always on lockdown due to massive traffic
cloud sable
@forest cipher someone posted a screenshot with a queue system earlier, so
median nimbus
You want a server to be able to withstand the entire traffic of a busy day + some more.
and that "some more" seems to be nowhere near enough
cloud sable
viscid moon
Are ... we really going to lose everything from rollbacks?
I got all the ships. I even have screenshots
soft arch
plus back when dido was an event ship, a lot of people posted dido's drop screen with just a white square, or some parts of texts that were not translated at all. i said a year ago that those things are easily preventable if they playtested before releasing
celest abyss
Feedback has been left, this channel isn't a discussion channel
forest cipher
if that pic is legit, the queue system probably isnt working or its bad
cloud sable
Not my picture, but was just providing context, and yeah, its probably new, and in testing, which is why only avrora had it apparently
swift halo
I tried to log and says Network Error, I tried with my wifi and mobile data and still the same
cloud sable
#tech-support is the channel for that
rare jay
Not really the channel for this, but login issues are known
forest cipher
i hope all the other issues are also known
swift halo
Ah, sorry
solemn citrus
Tech is still locked down from pre-emergency maintenance with no update post on the issue still happening
So might want to update there again too
obsidian spear
so if this server fail keeps up will the event be extended for this day then
hidden relic
yea event should be extended by a day cuz this is unfair
swift halo
cloud topaz
Network errors on Sandy servers even after maintenance
tawny crane
Avrora still not working.

stuck bramble
Are we gonna get compensation for the monthly login reward?
It's because I havent been able to login all day, and I have to work almost the rest of the day, and I've never missed a single day of logging in to the game...
stoic ice
I'm sure something will be arranged for the issues. We do have more pressing matter like responsibility and work so I hope the game will be stable by tomorrow
stuck bramble
Alrighty, and good thing I'm off tomorrow so I can make up for lost time
quartz rock
Same, how about a random "we're sorry" skin from the new ones sent as an email?
scarlet niche
Avrora can't login

Please don't start...

Keep getting the "connection lost" message on sandy 
My suggestion for the game: get it working

this is #game-feedback mind you

iron gulch
Yeah network error
flat marsh
Where do I report typo
stoic ice
Typo is technically belong in #bug-reports but you might want to check known bug first
Edit: made the mistake back then, learnt my lesson
tame walrus
I get we need another emergency maint but we could've used an announcement this time
unless they just straight up crashed this time
lost gust
My server keeps crashing because of the new update, please fix
stoic ice
I speculate they are stuck with huge influx of log in combine with inability to expand server load due to behind the curtain reason
flat vector
Remove the quick-retire limitation of requiring a locked unit before being able to qualify for quick-retire.
stoic ice
Welp....seem like it did crashed. Overloaded servers tend to behave like that
tepid marten
in all honesty, this happens to any game with a large player-base if there has been an update that has taken multiple hours to be introduced
flat vector
@celest abyss idk if you can make trello cards or not
ornate basin
only feedback assistants/managers
celest abyss
I can't, let Kawa handle it

sounds good, thanks

im not making a card for this given staff are already on issue
your feedback though
I’ll get to that one give me a min
