[winter hearth]

The thing is, you don't know which equipment does enemy have, so I think 2-3 restarts for making the best equipment and fleet is Normal

[real cobalt]

Dude i have problems with the build events as of late. When i go 200 builds and only get 3 of the event ships (7 boise, 2 san Franciscos, 3 archerfishes and not even a single UR in 200 builds, thats a flag of the build rates need a bit more fine tweaking. Especially if you only give at most 2 weeks for a UR build event. Most of the event ships i got were in between the 100-200 builds btw.

[winter hearth]

This is normal. RNG

[frigid hedge]

hmm, I did notice something very interesting though, The first day had a ton of NJ builds which could be explained by alot of people building but still, Something feels off

[winter hearth]

I'm sure, a lot of people opened their post to build NJ as fast as possible. As long she has garant, the ton of NJ building in first day are easy explainable

[thick pine]

If RNG hits me hard in PvP, I just close and restart the game for a second chance. I think that needs to be addressed before going anywhere else in PvP, otherwise your solution will still be counteracted by this

[frigid hedge]

Yes but i don't remember this many URs dropping first day when compared to Shinano. Though it might just be related to NJs popularity tho Still doesn't feel right imo

[fossil belfry]

the Uber meta is just follow the meta of which bote is good for a purin pvp farm and that’s it

[velvet adder]

i feel like pity should be there for gold ships too, around 8-9% of people hit pity with UR and an even smaller for gold and elites, its sad when you have to build an unlimited time for ships just because of RNG

maybe a event ship envelope at 200 builds building 200+ times for a purple isnt fun and it doesnt make people play your game, it makes people give up and quit

[wheat bone]

A suggestion
the exp cap of 3M on lvl 120s should be increased so the ship in question will keep keep their usefulness in PR grinding even after they reach the exp cap.

[cloud sable]

fyi, even if theyre capped at 3M, theyll still contribute to PR grind

[wheat bone]

For me it shows 0 exp gained

[obtuse breach]

it still works for PR

[wheat bone]

So I was unsure

[cloud sable]

yes, but it still counts for PR

[normal vine]

flippin 'eck ... 6h maintenance for a few skins and a character quest

[ornate basin]

almost every game has a stupidly long maint announcement, that does not mean it will be 6 hours

every game I know also announces a long maint for something super minor like a small event, but they always end it much much earlier than how long they said it would be

the 6 hours is a grace period, not a guarantee, it means not much

[crude pasture]

ehh, if there's just a little maintenance, they also do 4h announces

[full umbra]

When scrolling through event stories in the Memories tab, it would be nice to give them some sort of visual (one of the ships from the event, event symbol, etc) to tell them apart easier. Kind of like how secretary quests have a picture of the ship

[tacit onyx]

Z-Flag and VH armor plate getting added in prototype core shop or merit shop eventually would be much appreciated, or of course just a rerun of their respective mini-events. If purchasable through shop, perhaps good to have as a one time purchase only(?). It's great that Warspite and Sandy's retrofit items are permanent for all to obtain, but seeing as these 2 auxiliary equips are far less significant than 2 of the strongest ships in the game, I would hope that they could be in consideration for being added or reran at some point.

[hearty crane]

Each of them have their unique look, its just used in the memories itself. Thry coild just apply them there too (as we do on the wiki). I recall it being added to collected feedback ages ago. Still a good idea

[hearty crane]

And please tie the event story to them (as the 2 other items should too). Some of us do want to get as much memory unlocked as possible, as far as collab allows anyway.

[narrow sage]

Or what about just unlocking the memory things for events that won't ever rerun? I mean EN will never seen the scenes of the first Maid battle royal event.

[latent gazelle]

okay but what if all skills had a 100% proc rate in exercises

totally not salty about having to keep retrying exercises because hood's barrage doesn't proc

[cursive horizon]

Having skills go off 100% of the time would be a real pain for ships like Enterprise & Hiryou who have "screw you I'm untouchable for 8 seconds oh look your advantage is gone now." I already hate seeing those skills appear on the enemy side as it is. I just want my points so I can afford another Bulin/Purin.

[uncut bobcat]

increase the chance on getting record files. its hard to farm them

[tacit onyx]

I recommend raising ships that are better suited for pvp. If you really want to use Hood, then switch up your other ships in your fleet to compensate for her barrage potentially not proccing. Certain ships are better in different settings and scenarios. It's part of what makes the game fun/strategic - building fleets to synchronize strengths and compensate for weaknesses. 100% proccing for all ships in pvp exclusively would change the way ships interact too much to remain consistent with the game as it is. The meta game would degenerate into everyone using Helena for 100% Radar Scan and Enterprise for 100% Lucky E. The pvp meta is more diverse than it has been in years with the implementation of the new CV mechanics, the new Italian ships, and the new US ships. We should protect the vast level of viability and should be worshipping the ground the devs walk on for giving us non-game-breaking tools/skills/ships to counter the uber-dominant IJN stall meta that demolished indisputably for far too long to be enjoyable. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

[latent gazelle]

fair point

[thick pine]

Nagato barrage

[sinful cloud]

Ngl I would have love to see an alt Boise with a mask like U47's instead, an oxygen mask makes sense on sub but not a CL
She looks great and is cute but that thing just makes it look extremely stupid for me

[cursive horizon]

Would like to pre-emptively voice again that we need a loading screen selection option, cause there's another unflattering Kashino one according to a Japanese twitter post I just saw. I know people like Kashino, I'm not upset she exists, I just don't wanna see huge boobs on my loading screens when I'm playing. It's not as bad as the bunny one, but it's still a thing. (didn't like the one last year with St Louis in the car, either, honestly)

[small girder]

is the skill description missing in game or the wiki is wrong?

[inner frost]

Probably lacking skill description, as there is a ton of "hidden effects on barrages that are not told to you unless you go to the wiki and look at every single barrage

[hearty crane]

They already deleted that one out of the memory menu for EN

[normal vine]

wiki generates skill description from the game code at this point, we don't just copy the in-game description any more

[flint imp]

make dock expansion and stuff coin cost its hard for f2p players to get gems

[kindred vessel]

that's the point. You get around ~3000 gems entirely free as a pure F2P player. If you want QoL improvements you have to pay for it, they're a company not a charity.

[flint imp]

wait what

[obtuse breach]

the point of every company is to make money, the devs already give out a bunch of gems to everyone so players can expand their dock, making dock expansion fully F2P would be a big loss for the company

[winter hearth]

Can TB do not speak when I go to this thing. That is losing of a lot time. Or if not, than it would be good if auto walk will avoid that. Of course I could move every single tile, but nobody does this. Moving every single tile makes sense by fire usw. but this is not a negative effect, so it would be fair if auto walk will avoid this

[flint imp]

ik but how could pure f2p gets ~3k gems

[winter hearth]

250 gems for every chapter + (I guess) 600 gems from collection

[naive cobalt]

it's actually 4k last time I counted

you get 3.25k just from 3* story maps

[kindred vessel]

3900 according to our bot command

there's a lot of incentive to clear all the chapters if you're pure F2P

[small girder]

I do think it is important to add the “invisible” effect in the game, not everyone have the time to check wiki. Just my opinion thank you

[manic stump]

it's been a while, but is there any news on the loading screen option, like either disable any artwork from showing or make it show sfw only? I believe this is highly requested and is wondering if it's been even brought up to the devs?

I don't really like those disturbing loading screens showing on my screen

[copper nest]

perhaps upcoming story will explain this and it will suddenly make sense for you

[scenic flower]

I'd like to buy a Boise skin without any ugly masks, with perfectly visible face and MOUTH. Thanks in advance

[normal vine]

I was only commenting on "is the game or the wiki wrong" ;)

[sinful cloud]

Regards of story or not, it looks ugly with her design
It makes sense on subs cause you know... they go underwater so unless Boise is preparing to be sank

[hearty crane]

Boise looks great...

[crude pasture]

ngl, I find her one of the hotter ships, but then I do have a thing for masks

[stone valley]

god I hate people shitting on Boise’s design so much, saw so much toxic shit against her artist on twitter

[scenic flower]

The problem is not in her appearance. She's cute for sure. But that mask...

[crude pasture]

that's the best part tf

~~fuckin antimaskers ~~

[sinful cloud]

Exactly, think they got the wrong Boise at this point

[ember mesa]

Allow me to return to original name default like allow ship the ship anme to be used

[crude pasture]

have you clicked the button on the right?

the one that reads "default"

[normal vine]

the problem is that "Cassin" contains "ass"

[copper nest]

who would win, cassin or loading screen with barely covered tits and zipper in really weird place
This is just hilarious and sad, default names should be exceptions or something

[inner frost]

How about we update the most ancient profanity filter known to man for a more modern one

[sinful cloud]

Or dont put any

[scenic flower]

[hearty crane]

Tried putting 48 DR prints to Drake prints and it was hell. The + button is TINY, doesn't accept holding and if you click a pixel besides it (which is easy on a phone) the entire menu closes and you can start from 1 again.

[obtuse breach]

you can hold it down....

[sinful cloud]

Just tried with the 30 event prints and couldnt

[obtuse breach]

i have literally always held them down, but knowing how spaghetti the game code is something might have broke after latest patch

[hearty crane]

Definitely tried, no dice

[obtuse breach]

welp, blame the spaghetti code in this game

[velvet adder]

yeah holding it down works well on emulator never tried it with fat fingers on mobile

[sinful cloud]

So its working better on a platform that isnt intended to be played on... they should really prioritize functionality over beautiness

[latent gazelle]

was able to hold it down to quickly load up blueprints using my own phone

though on that note, yeah, while the fate simulation "fingerprint scanner" is cute, it is a little annoying to have to tap it every time

[kindred vessel]

dude have you seen how the profanity filter works in the source code it's fucking hilarious

it's literally thousands of nested if elseif statements

[inner frost]

No, but I can imagine

[cunning zinc]

Hi there

Feedback about skin

You cut most interesting part of background!

Can you fix that?

[sinful cloud]

No wonder the chat takes a while to load for me, freaking yandere sim 2.0

[plucky dagger]

Hey yall! I just wanted to gove my compliments for the SP stage this time! The stage itself is fine, but the the sound track that plays in the background instead of normal battle music, and it being translated, is just amazing.

That and I love the sound track!

It easily makes it the best stage of the event lol. that and it giving 800 currency is always great

[hearty crane]

Just to make certain since it seems unclear I don't mean dump them into Drake, that allows holding. Changing generic PR3 DR prints into Drake (or Azuma/FdG) doesn't, and it's + is tinier too

[hearty crane]

Yeah but going from 148 to 48 is even more work than 1 to 48

[mossy tulip]

can you shorten the tutorial or make it skippable dear lord it's SO LONG AND FRUSTRATING JUST LET ME DO WHAT I WANT ALREADY

[ornate basin]

what are you trying to do that makes the tutorial frustrating? it is supposed to help new players, hence its longness

a tutorial reform has gotten some feedbacks, but its nothing about making it shorter, only clearer for new players, which will probably make it longer

[mossy tulip]

i don't mind the length as much as i hate how it's unskipable and you can't do a single thing deviating from that. veteran players who are making new account for whatever reason don't need to sit through the entire 20 minute tutorial again

[ornate basin]

its so new users cannot skip it

[mossy tulip]

i understand it is for the new players, but there are also players who are not new and already know how to do everything in the tutorial. why do they need to be forced to sit through that entire thing again?

it's like being retaught addition when you're in a college calculus class

[thick pine]

Unless it could be made skippable and then easy to re-access in case the player missed something

[ornate basin]

that is a good idea, I never thought of that one but I agree
there are the ℹ️ icons for more information, but you might miss/forget the basic part of it when it was in the tutorial

[thick pine]

I can't remember what they're called because it's been too long for me, but there are those one-time missions for new players to go through that included limit breaking Portland and things. They'd be right next to the commander level on the home screen.
Maybe for as long as the player is still on the Easy missions, there'd be a great, big "Missed the tutorial?" button somewhere on the home screen for the players to click, and then when they moved on from Easy missions, that button is made smaller and tucked away?

[hearty crane]

Do we really want to allow EN of all people to skip essentials and expect them to READ?

[woeful shale]

Can we change the way items are sorted so all the Early Summer / Anniversary / New Years stuff are beside one another?

[cursive horizon]

I wanna throw my own coins onto the whole "button is small" issue with ship blueprints. So often I'll go to hit Max and the game just closes out the menu cause I was a hair off of the button somehow. This isn't exclusive to that but anything that uses the same set-up, such as buying books in the Guild store, or changing selections in Guild missions. The buttons are very small and my fingers are not the size of a stylus.

[sinful cloud]

Worst one affected by the "clicking outside closes the menu" is the pause button cause you pause to see a notification or smth and doing so closes the menu rendering both the pause and continue button absolutely useless

[blazing heart]

Regarding a skippable tutorial, I don't really mind it not being skippable in principle as it's supposed to be one time only per account, when I really hated that it's not skippable is when it just started playing again when I went to some stage in chapter 2 or something for a mission and it taught me how to setup a second fleet...
So yeah, I guess I'd be in favour of a skippable and reviewable tutorial

[hearty bay]

Additional rings:which will be choked for 100, 250 and 500 loving ships.It will be fashionable to get a maximum of +3

[winter hearth]

We don't have 500 ships in the game

[winter hearth]

That's with retrofits including.

[slate monolith]

And collabs and PRs

[winter hearth]

Collabs are not there

[slate monolith]

But the PRs are

[thick pine]

537 - 17 = We don't have 500 ships in the game

[velvet adder]

oh i thought u meant at 100, 250 and 500 affection u could oath them a max of 3 times per ship i think thats a good idea

let me triple oath my ships

[winter hearth]

That means, if we speak about unique ships, it will be impossible to get third ring. If you can get 100 affinity with copies of ship to get the quest, that means, you should get affinity with some copies to get the third ring.

[blazing heart]

Well, in two events it would be possible

[sinful cloud]

Who said it needed to be different ships

[thick pine]

We're only like two events away from 500 ships anyway. If something like this is implemented, we'd definitely be over 500 by that time

[golden cape]

Can we please get more PR gear added to the Gear Lab? Why is something like Neptune's gun there but not Bofors STAAG?

It's even worse since there is little reason to do PR1 research over PR2 for gear since PR2 has the rainbow gun which PR1 does not include.

All I'm saying is I really want more STAAGS pwetty pwease

[thick pine]

At the same time, you can't do PR2 and PR3 at the same time, even though both have gear that we'd want to have

And PR4 will only make that worse

[velvet adder]

yeah have fun to anyone new doing research after pr4 comes out, if it doesnt have any QoL features people are 3 years in the hole

you would think that most/all early PR gear would just be added to gear lab anyway, they aren't game breaking to have them in there, some have been in the game for 2-3 years. what's the issue with giving people an alternate way to obtain them?

[velvet adder]

when i buy these things in akashis store, i have no idea how many energy storage devices i have, ever. It doesnt show how many i have before i purchase, during purchase, or after purchase. Maybe have them listed next to exchange tokens?

[blazing heart]

I mean usually the answer is "more than enough" though

[velvet adder]

i mean during early opsi i like to use them on the siren combat sim thing to get +5 of a stat and i dont have trillions of them, so id rather know how many i had

[fleet salmon]

Why are the positions of "Confirm" and "Cancel" buttons reversed for this pop-up? This BS cost me gems twice now.

[trail elk]

to trick people into buying it

[tiny hound]

Gear Loadout Lock function. For people who are stubborn about switching gears and want to make sets exclusive to ship girls.

[blazing heart]

Huh? Not even talking about why you would want that, it already asks you for confirmation if you replace gear on a ship with gear from a different ship, so just tap cancel when that message comes up?^^
I'd rather have the opposite:
Make gear sets actually useful by making them take gear from shipgirls that for example aren't engaged atm.
Then you could also make a button like "equip fleet" which would equip all ships in the fleet with their first gear set

[copper nest]

send game feedback to change it instead of bug report

[fleet salmon]

the feedback option has no ui category, and this isn't exactly "main menu"

this is in battle prep screen

[woeful shale]

Can we add a preview feature for L2D skins and Dorm Furnitures so we can decide if we want to buy them?

[rare jay]

You can submit it under "General" or "Other" if you'd like

[fleet salmon]

fine, I'll do it now

[fleet salmon]

Done. But rejecting that because it's "not a bug" is like saying "yeah, we made it that way on purpose".

[inner frost]

Probably is that way on purpose to catch players that don't read what's on the screen, making them spend gems by accident

[hearty crane]

Or really sleepy... as happened to me. Still irked

[turbid wedge]

Is it possible to get auto battle option for SOS maps/missions?

[crude pasture]

also SP maps

maybe even uncleared? I only activate it if I know almost for certain that I'm not gonna run into problems arising from full auto

[velvet adder]

i agree, please put it in the hands of the players to decide when to activate full auto battle it's our own fault if we mess it up, it would make it so maps that you cant obtain stars on would have auto clear too

I'm not really sure on why theres restrictions on auto clear anyway, if anything it's kinda irritating to clear it like 5-6 to 100% anyway

[cloud sable]

Im pretty sure having to clear it to 100% to engage auto clear is just there so that you still need some engagement to the game to actually play it, it would be a bit too good imo if we just got auto clear right off the bat

[faint hinge]

In a year we'll have quick battle on all maps right

[winter hearth]

Let us change Meowfficer in OS without paying AP. It's really annoying when you need to change a Meowfficer and you need to pay 70+ AP for this

[cloud sable]

it doesnt have to cost any AP, just wait for fleet deployment to cooldown

[winter hearth]

I know, but waiting so long to change one Meowfficer is really annoying. I can understand to wait for changing a ship, but not for Meowfficer

[velvet adder]

Just a bit of feedback not that I think the translations are wrong, i dont know what the originals were, it was probably the same as english. but archerfishes special touch in her bunny suit doesn't really suit her All her other interactions are teasing and playful and forward but her special touch is like she takes a 180 turn and suddenly she isn't, maybe its supposed to be her personality who knows but I just know it doesnt really fit

[crude pasture]

it fits with her regular special touch, with that all talk no bite personality

[ornate basin]

would not exactly call a special touch the same terms as being pat on the head

[velvet adder]

yeah i guess maybe it is the all talk thing although the all talk is a pretty big all talk

maybe it would have been better for it to have been a shock that beta commander would touch her instead of her just getting mad

[faint hinge]

Seeing her interact with Shinano has convinced me that she is a very nice girl.

[velvet adder]

yeah it just seems like she turns into a turbo bitch instead of some playful girl

the base skin one seems a lot better at least

base skin is playful but her bunny skin is just a wtf are u doing

maybe im too hopeful

[velvet adder]

thank you nimi

[gray patrol]

Would be nice to have extra exp for vanguard ships kinda like the Flagship exp system

[winter hearth]

I think it would be a good idea to change the mechanic of BBs a bit. I mean, make shooting like airstrike launch by CVs. I mean, we should not have a huge gap between shoots of BBs when they are ready to shoot. Because if you have 3 BBs with same CD you lose ≈3 sec for shooting by the last one. This breaks a lot of timings and is simply nervous because you know that you lose 3 seconds which could give you the fourth shoot.

[velvet adder]

yeah i think a good idea would be that you can select a toggle that uses your targetting to fire all bb salvos available at the time (or for auto to wait until all your bb's are off cooldown to fire at once)

[winter hearth]

And it should not be a huge cooldown between shooting like now if timings of BBs are a bit different

[winter hearth]

I made a short video how do I see this
https://youtu.be/m_SBPSzc1YE

[slate monolith]

So is it possible for us to have the SP/EX map music added to the juke box or onto the next Muse Season?

[smoky ruin]

Could you please make this button a little smaller? I still manage to hit it sometimes

[silver depot]

I think it would be useful if it just defaulted to the one you need to fill instead of the first one, not like anyone ever is gonna care about the previous ships they auto recommended in there

[agile gazelle]

Especially if you get prompt saying something like "once selected you can't change your setup"

[scenic flower]

Yeah, and auto-fill checkbox would be handsome too.

[velvet adder]

So I have a suggestion for a quality of life change. You know when your dock is full and you get the 3 buttons: expand, enhance and sort. When you click "enhance" it shows your entire dock and you can choose which ship to enhance. The problem is that it also shows the ships that are maxed out and can't be enhanced anymore. I think it would be nice if it showed only the enhanceable ships so we don't have to click until we find one that can be enhanced.

[crude pasture]

that's what the "enhancable" filter is for

[copper nest]

you can use filters to show ships that can be enchanced

but it would be neat if it was set by default when you click it

[velvet adder]

Is there an enhanceable filter? Oh I didn't know that. TIL. Ok then, don't mind me...

[inner frost]

Yeah, if you go to dock, in the top right you can select a bunch of filters to sort by, but as Akagi added, it really should filter by "Enhanceable" by default if you press Enhance

[sinful cloud]

would be nice
Already play with the game on the bottom while split screen cause its really hard to touch the filter button when its on top since it stays behind the notification bar

[blazing heart]

(And also switch off afterwise)

[cursive horizon]

I've been meaning to bring that up, actually. I really don't see much point in warning players they can't "change their line up" for guild missions since 1) it doesn't stop you using them normally and 2) what possible reason would you have for changing them? Recommend already puts in the best choices (especially since I can't make heads or tails of how they determine effectiveness) and those missions are almost always one at a time, anyays.

[crude pasture]

and even when they aren't, the requirements don't usually overlap

[sinful cloud]

Gotta say that even tho some ships in the event look (well Morrison and Ticon are cute and I like Archer just because she sank Shitano but Boise has that stupid mask and her L2D has water ballons instead of boobs, NJ looks more like that laser cannon siren than EU and SF meh)

Im having a good time farming the event cause it gives actual good equipment, instead of that one gun thats more trouble than worth and you wont end up using cause more common ones are better, wish more events also gave worthy BPs

(Gotta give bit more credit to SF cause its an upgrade from her old pink haired self)

[stone valley]

[blazing heart]

Apparently the water balloons are well received though, the feedback regarding that in #collected-feedback has double as many down- as upvotes....

[sinful cloud]

Ppl also like Tirpitz' kimono when her knees got hit by a crowbar

[blazing heart]

Yeah idek... I feel like some people see things like that as an attack on the character they like or something

Or people really like weird wobbly jiggly things better than boobs on their shipgirls

I don't really mind KOS-MOS though
I mean NJ

[sinful cloud]

It might be bias, I dont like futuristic designs and in a ww2 game really not feeling it

[restive lily]

well, i dont think its that bad considering that new jersey would be modernized several times, well into the 90s

[scenic flower]

NJ skins sux

[blazing heart]

I wish her dynamic skin still had more than one facial expression

[rare jay]

Okay, that's enough. This isn't a channel to fight over your own personal preferences.

[sinful cloud]

Thats another thing they've been doing for a while and rather lazy so to say
Ships should come out in their original form and get retros has need be, dont need to be modern to be good

One could argue "but then they would be OP to high hell with retro"
1st - they're powercreeping everything at this point
2nd - think everyone can see how powerful Nagato is and she still doesnt have her retro

[mental mural]

It might just be me, but with how large my dock is, and yes i know we have a way to sort our dock, but how about a search function to find a specific ship in the dock? to me it saves time to search a ship than to look for a ship

[blazing heart]

Oh btw on Boise's skin...I'd appreciate log in screens that are not just the skin zoomed in so far it's 3x3 pixels

[velvet adder]

yeah it sucks that skins are drawn in like 4k then are compressed down to 1080p (barely) so then if u zoom in u can see the pixels HD download pack WHEN (maybe just with selectable skins or something? if u guys wanna scrimp on the extra data used)

[velvet adder]

i think a good idea is at the side I SELECT TO VIEW CERTAIN STUFF, LIKE CHECKBOXES. So if i uncheck the box it doesnt show on the map

[bronze elk]

Contrary to much of the vocal minority around these parts, I would like to express my appreciation for the amount of we have been getting lately (through both base arts/skins). Please keep up the good quality

[blazing heart]

Another (imo slightly worse, but still better than now) option would be for coordinate loggers to just not be opened by default, so you can open them only if you actually want to do them.

[obtuse breach]

seriously, why do some auto open and some dont

[slate monolith]

Because some are random loggers, and others aren't

[cloud sable]

the loggers you get from cats / end of a explorable (lethal) map and the ones from shop are auto opened
the loggers from missions, star rewards and exchange shop are not

[thick pine]

I'd like to be able to see the fleets my crewmates have used in the Guild Operations final fight against the Siren. If I can see what fleets others have brought to my Ashes Showdown fight, I'm sure this can be done too

[cursive horizon]

Why is Azuma's wedding outfit nothing like the other Sakura style wedding gowns? Every time I see it I think I'm looking at an Eagle or Royal ship.

[inner frost]

Azuma's oath skin has a similar design to Atagos though

[wispy ledge]

How about doing a 1v1 with your guild mates?

[cursive horizon]

I've never actually seen Atago's oath gown, but the question still remains as to why the sudden deviation from what the others are like.

[velvet adder]

maybe theres some weird reason like as to how aurora is in a chinese wedding garb although shes hms ship ik there was some trash about her being sold to china post war or something, i dont think theres any of that stuff with azuma or atago though

[cursive horizon]

Yeah, Aurora's heavy Chinese themes always raised an eyebrow but I figured there was a historical reason.

[winter hearth]

No. I think it's a lot better when loggers opening by themselves. And I don't like, that some loggers won't be open

Because you will open loggers ofc, so it's better when everything is open and you can see the amount of work

[inner frost]

It's better to have them activate by default and clog up the map with icons, hiding quests and whatnot behind them, instead of having a map that's not clogged with icons, and you can choose what loggers you want to use personally?

[winter hearth]

Yes

If on map is Stronghold, Logger and Abyssal, Save and cleared danger zone, you can choose where to go

[modest island]

You can go directly to a mission if you click information then click on the mission btw
They patched it a while back so instead of taking you to a useless map like it did before, it takes you to the good map so you can immediately spend AP and jump right in to the missions :WarShrug:

[cursive horizon]

I'm very glad it takes you directly there now, it was always so pointless before.

[modest island]

i agree that was a nice change
if only they could do that with fractured seas once you clear them and tap outside the map...

[frank lodge]

I wonder if we can get more archive updates with its ships become permanent faster since looks like we're too slow (like only get 2 this year) on those update compared to rest servers (already update 4 new archive this year)

Also, pleaso don't force to add rate up if It makes archive update schedule so slow since looks like you guys don't want to update archive at the same time as events (unlike other servers that often update while also update events at the same time. They already did many times) bc of forced rate up

[velvet adder]

why is there no yamato in azur lane?

[crude pasture]

Patience. We have gotten a Yamato-class vessel just last year

[covert brook]

Same reason there's no Iowa in Azur Lane.

[velvet adder]

design?

How about hms king george?

[obtuse breach]

We have her for quite a while

[covert brook]

You mean her? https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/King_George_V

[velvet adder]

Uh

[ornate basin]

regardless, we dont take feedback for new ships

[velvet adder]

If its king george

[ornate basin]

and "why is.." is not proper

[velvet adder]

Why its a girl

Azur lane logics👍

[ornate basin]

yes, azur lane logics is that all ships are shipgirls

no need to repeat what I said basically

[naive cobalt]

Please move to #al-general if you just want to have a chat

[blazing heart]

No, I don't want to use loggers below lvl 4 at all. Life would be much easier if they just didn't open so they wouldn't appear in the map promting me to check if they're 4+ and making me have to select the standard map if I want to go there every time I open OpSi

[carmine grove]

@velvet adder also just want to add the fact that in English ships are considered female. Reason: Another tradition is to consider ships as female, referring to them as 'she'. Although it may sound strange referring to an inanimate object as 'she', this tradition relates to the idea of a female figure such as a mother or goddess guiding and protecting a ship and crew.

[velvet adder]

Dont mind about it

It just a joke

[carmine grove]

Nah just saying I don't really care

[velvet adder]

Just the gacha

[carmine grove]

Also just wanted to give feedback about can we get 20 cubes 15k coins like we got for shinano launch before the event ends

[cursive horizon]

Would like to throw in another vote for Coordinate Loggers not auto-opening. While I don't mind them being lower ranked locations, it'd be nice if the map was clean so I could only open them when I want to tackle some. That's a personal preference, I understand, but having them only opened on our choosing would make a lot of folks happy, I'd reckon.

[copper nest]

Already pointed it out earlier, it's probably whatever artist wants to do, so kinda lack of quality control over skins, it's the same guy who's responsible for Atago and Takao. It's bad imo, there's no reason why they're like this, but he actually managed to do Takao properly

[fierce ember]

its the same artist so....seeing similarities is normal if you know who that person is ||(known for using the same face)||

but yes i cant not agree that it looks too same,like legit looks like tago oath skin under a different angle
not bad in any way,but just the same

[velvet adder]

I prefer western dresses so its a win for me i was kinda mald over aurora oath skin

[sinful cloud]

Thought Shiyo quit a while back, hasnt been on social media for over a year so figured they are using a replacement

[cursive horizon]

Oh, yeah, should clarify I don't think it looks bad or anything, it just doesn't fit with the Sakura wedding gown theme we normally have. So it threw me since I hadn't realized Atago also had a non-traditional wedding outfit. I only remember Aurora's cause people brought it up back when.

[winter hearth]

But you can understand the corrosion of logger by looking on the cost

[blazing heart]

I rather just open my inventory and check if there's any 4+ than tap every single treasure chest once

[sinful cloud]

Ty for the upcoming changes, specially the mini events been wanting Yamashiro's skin for a good while

[cursive horizon]

Yes! Although I have all the ships, I know many don't and will greatly appreciate the extra time for building. I'm glad for more time to grind out points for rewards. And the mini-events are a huge welcome, too!

[hearty crane]

Can I rant again how they have a confirmation box for swapping META skills even if you can swap them freely and HAVE to swap them to check which ones still have xp to gain (for example from doing ashes or ops missions). None of which would be an issue... IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CONFORM EVERY DAMN SWAP, for zero reason since you can just swap back instantly on misclick.

[hidden bear]

Could we actually have MAJOR events taking three weeks be a normal thing?

With more past events being archived, it actually leaves a lot of time for the newer events to get a longer duration.

PLUS it IS an event that has a Buildable UR, so having enough time to gather cubes and coins to try and get a pity New Jersey helps.

[winter hearth]

The problem is, it's one week of boring. I don't think this is a good idea

[hearty crane]

Not to mention reruns already take 18 months... how long do you need to wait if you extend all events by 50%. Have fun waiting 24+ months for a rerun?

[winter hearth]

The main question is there. Why should we have 1 extra week event if CNs need this?

[inner frost]

The obvious answer is to have fair play for every region..

[velvet adder]

because jp/en people would mald TO HELL if cn got an extra week to build an ULTRA RARE

especially if those people didnt get new jersey

[hidden bear]

If past events got archived quicker, it'd give more time for newer events to be longer.

Jeezus, EN really doesn't frackin' read. :\

[blazing heart]

Okay, which point did you invalidate with this "new" argument you're bringing up?
I don't see how events being archived changes anything...unless you mean that events shouldn't be rerun???

[hearty crane]

We got event, rerun, archive. As Thorin stated the only way to "just speed it up" is drop reruns entirely.

[sinful cloud]

Dropping reruns will also mean less ships per event meaning that we'll need more events meaning that we'll still need reruns cause an event takes time to make

[vapid ocean]

Operation siren needs to be bi-monthly. It's just too much grinding for it to reset per month. All that effort and the. poof. That 5000 fuel needs to be changed to something else to motivate farming. Im using my fuel to level my shipgirls and farm for Choukai, events and etc.

Myself and certain others have been noted doing bare minimum for it.

[inner frost]

From the perspective as someone who clears opsi in 1-2 days after each reset, after about 1 week(ish) there's literally nothing left to do in opsi other than doing missions (if even that) and waiting for strongholds. Making them Bi-monthly wouldn't really make them any better.

5k oil item is a scam

[vapid ocean]

Not everybody plays the way we do. Im sitting here wasting my time regaining sectors

Not everybody has the time.

[hearty crane]

Its like people dont remember how absolute bored out of our minds we were in january... and that was only 1.5 months

[sinful cloud]

Bit of both imo, its a lot of grind (not hard) but its always the same thing over and over each month that its gotten god awful boring leading to me wanting to do anything else but it

[vapid ocean]

I love how elitest people get to the point they void other people's thoughts.

Not everybody plays as hardcore as we do

Keep in mind a game has to still be fun

[hearty crane]

So they might take 2 or 3 weeks of fun and 1 week of being bored. How is making casuals bored for 5 weeks going to help?

[vapid ocean]

Have you heard of a thing called school, work, and life?

[inner frost]

Well if that's your issue, the 5K oil item solves your issue

[vapid ocean]

I'm just trying to help other casual folks having told me how much they struggle and instead I'm getting snarky comments

[eternal bronze]

even with me playing AL every day i still have to do uni work so the 5k oil is a life saver

[vapid ocean]

Yeah, granted they noted how they had to sit out a day of playing. I guess that is fine in the bigger picture but not when you want to level and etc

[hearty crane]

"I'm getting snarky comments" "have you heard of life"

[vapid ocean]

Hassat, please.

[velvet adder]

i mean there was a big poll about operation siren, not sure about the feedback they got on it (they didnt publish it)

but i remember and others putting that operation siren wasnt that rewarding in certain rewards and other stuff it really is such a damn chore to clear every month

[blazing heart]

Tbh it's not like clearing every sector really is a requirement for anything

[vapid ocean]

Yeah, what Nyano said.

[velvet adder]

i dont think id mind if the rewards were actually decent but seriously ive cleared ops SINCE IT CAME OUT and i only had enough gold main gun plates to get my ONE RAINBOW GUN TO +13, its been like 6 resets, where are my gold plates?

[vapid ocean]

People end up doing the bare minimum not clearing every sector and etc. Granted more content may come as time goes on.

[cloud sable]

tbh, id rather op si become harder but more rewarding, rn its just grindy

if it was harder it would at least be more interesting than it is now

[velvet adder]

also i dont think the gear thats craftable is that interesting either i got all these rainbow prints to craft stuff, and i cant use them

[eternal bronze]

thats a thing ive been saying since day one

its not even challenging

[cloud sable]

well during CN stream they did mention that gear lab would be getting updates so

hopefully

[eternal bronze]

just feels grindy without proper rewards

[sinful cloud]

Hopefully they update it so electronics arent the one useful item and the others just pile up

[eternal bronze]

imagine spending 100k supply coins on a corrosion 6 Abyssal node just for you to discover it doenst guarantee UR plans drop

[velvet adder]

imagine getting a rainbow abyssal coord only for it to open into a corrosion 4

[hearty crane]

Yeah I agree the rewards aren't up to par, but that's unrelated to the reset and no reason to extend the boring period any longer than it has to be. "Secured Zones" are DULL and you spend the most time on them, don't make them even more prominent (Also weep in spebding 40AP to clear one and hit an Akashi selling you 400AP back)

[velvet adder]

[vapid ocean]

Rip the other players who don't play as much. Cool.

But I do partially agree certain things may be more boring for those playing more than others. Perspective.

I guess I lose this one. I won't bother pushing this but I will keep pushing for Canadians. I'll be back later. Maybe.

[blazing heart]

It's not like I don't get your point, I just don't think extending OpSi "seasons" is a good solution since it might make you happy, but at the same time it will make others unhappy.
So yes, since I can't think of a great solution either I basically contributed nothing with this

[vapid ocean]

Middle ground anywhere?

[hearty crane]

Make OPSI less boring and more rewarding? Make the 5k item not a scam

[cloud sable]

i mean a middle ground could be simply a switch letting you pick if you want opsi to reset or not
then people who wanna grind can grind, people who dont can just make it not reset and take more time

[sinful cloud]

been saying this for a while

[vapid ocean]

What is your say on adaptive tuning constantly resetting taking steam out of people's motivation?

[hearty crane]

Do we still leave 3 weeks of items in shops then? I guess you can say "You chose this." But losing 3 UR prints a month for picking one option is pretty harsh.

[cloud sable]

i mean, again its a choice for people who explicitly dont have the time to grind all over again, i think its pretty fair their shop doesnt reset either, but thats something more for the devs to balance. Since it seems they really wanted op si to reset each month and be grindy like it is rn

[cloud sable]

its not as bad as it was since you can just buy them from exchange shop now tbh

[blazing heart]

I'd like to see the dumb port shop get reworked as a whole tbh

So I won't have to buy those blue mats...

[velvet adder]

they are kinda pricey though not gonna lie (the adaptive tuners in the opsi shop)

[vapid ocean]

I guess that kinda makes sense. Time to test it out some more.

[ionic matrix]

I would like for at least events that feature an UR to run 3 weeks standard. All the other events can be two weeks still. But the extra week would be nice for people who aren't in RNG's favor for rolling the gacha UR.
I was that guy with Shinano. Didn't build her in 200 builds, had to use the pity copy. Was luckier this time around with NJ, but I'd never wish that upon someone, having to build to pity just to get the UR.

[cursive horizon]

I was kinda keeping silent, but I do sorta feel that some major events seem to warrant the 3 week period, whereas most events only really need 2. Something like this with Ultra Rares and multiple SSRs and such do seem like they should be 3 weeks to make sure most players can get them.

[hearty crane]

Alledgedly thursday patch weeklies give 300 vouchers a WEEK, which is 6 Adaptive Tuning things. So Adaptive Tuning might aswell be thrown out the window now.

[cursive horizon]

Took me about 9 days to finally get my last ship, Boise, even though I had all the others within about 3 days. I know that's just RNG, but if I'd hit the last day and still not gotten her I'd be stressing. Especially when coins trickle in and I still have lots of cubes. Plus the whole "Limit Break most of the ships" eats up a lot of coins, too.

[hearty crane]

I mean... it took me 300 builds to get Nagato, its not really unique to URs. Then again that might use a pity that can count for all ships.

[cursive horizon]

I've seen it suggested somewhere before, might've been here or Twitter, that a "choose your own event ship" for the safety net might be a good idea. Especially for non UR ones, where the last freaking ship just refuses to come home.

[blazing heart]

Umm so your idea is that is changable even after you started pulling?

[cursive horizon]

No, it'd be like those Invitations you get. Where after you hit the Pity Mark, it offers you a choice of which ship you get.

[blazing heart]

And yeah idk it would be hard to judge which event to extend and which not, bad rng can happen on any event, so not sure if I would want that
Yeah no way that's gonna get added

[cursive horizon]

I mean within the event ships. Not talking within all 400-something ships.

[blazing heart]

Yeah I thought so, but the possibilities that that opens...

[ionic matrix]

This is why I suggest it only be for UR events. Naturally they're going to be more desirable, and they statistically have the worse pull rate compared to normal SSRs. (1.2% vs. 7% + a 0.5-2% rate up) For me personally, I'm fine missing an SSR in a normal event. It sucks yeah, but there will be a re-run eventually. Missing an UR would be even worse imo. They're just so meta defining usually that it stings that much more if you miss them, plus it can be tough getting to the pity in 2 weeks if you don't spend gems on cubes and/or coins as it's a lot of resources. The lower pull rate compared to SSRs already means you might not see an UR until you hit the pity.

[sinful cloud]

And this whole thing is an example on why gacha URs was a bad idea, ppl already complained about SRs... adding smth even more desirable for tryhards leads to more complains

[blazing heart]

I mean URs could simply be less op...

[sinful cloud]

It made sense them been powerful since they were hard/expensive to get but now you're at the mercy of luck to get one without effort

[eternal bronze]

Plus it sets a bad feeling for people who farmed all the way to get their DR ships to dev 30 just to be outmatched by a gacha ship, hopefully there will be a fate sim for DR ships when PR4 comes like people are saying...

[velvet adder]

i think power creep just comes with the game though, lots of other ships are just left for dead now with no retro no nothing, its kinda sad (i heard they were planning some feature to help older ships? but i have no idea at this point its been a long time since i heard that)

[sinful cloud]

Hoping that when the catch up for PR2 comes, we can get 300 DR prints like PR cause if you're giving URs like candies and even guaranting them after a number of pulls but reduce the number of DR prints just really 🖕

[hearty crane]

Pretty sure elites are hardest to pull, followed by sr, followed by UR. 1.2% might seem low, but it doesnt share it so you dont get 5 copies of one and none of the other, or another Eugen, which totally tips it over compared to any other pool. People get too hung on the percentages alone.

[crude pasture]

here's an idea: make map resetting a manual thing, and unlock it after you clear all sectors

maybe have a warning for when you are trying to reset and still have items available in shops or loggers in your inventory

[sly shore]

It’s probably been mentioned before, but it would be great if auto search went to ammo nodes, if there are any, when running out of ammo, and it would also be nice if we’re able to prioritize the node type that it chooses (1*, 2*, 3*)

[golden cape]

I don't think powercreep was too bad in AL until NJ came along was soo blantantly stronger than FDG. FDG's power level should act as a ceiling and you should balance future DR/UR BBs around her to an extent and the same goes with Shinano. Now this would never happen and probably an unpopular opinion but I think NJ should be nerfed and brought down to the same power level as FDG. Give her strengths over FDG of course but she should come with weaknesses compared to FDG.

[worn sand]

Retrofit Benson pls yostar lol. She’s my favorite Eagle Union DD. The US Bunneh~

[ornate basin]

we dont take feedback for retrofit ideas

[worn sand]

(Dies)

[winter hearth]

It's better when it's scum. 5K oil is alot

[winter hearth]

This is bad idea. The hardest in event is, you don't know, you will spend 100 cubes for whole pull or 600+ cubes. If you could choose one ship that means that gacha has 4 ships, not 5, which can save you 100+ cubes in certain cases. Therefore I'm against that. The better way would be like with URs. (URs are the easiest ships to gain Bcs of garant). For example every 200 builds (400 cubes) you can choose one of every gacha pull ships. Or just let this like it's now, now it's good

[velvet adder]

i mean

fdg is from pr2 and pr4 is probably* on the way so...

[hearty crane]

You hate the idea but the better way would be to do exactly as suggested?? So confused.

[void stratus]

Please fix Live 2D background skins size
I'm playing on Samsung S21 Ultra

Every time i use a L2D skin the background gets smaller

[outer olive]

Perhaps a way of using event tokens to get event exclusive ships would be nice, or a pity system similar to what UR ships get.
I've done over 320 pulls and have failed to get a Boise which feels bad. Some way of circumventing the remote chance of bad luck like that would be nice, even if it was expensive/inefficient

[blazing heart]

Could the game not suggest a totally random server when you log in with a bound account after reinstalling the game? Seeing the tutorial almost gave me a heart attack

[ornate basin]

it is not totally random, it will always automatically default to the newest server, Amagi

as to redirect users to newer servers rather than older ones since its a fresh install, it should and does assume you are a new player

I think the best way it wouldwork is to switch to the server you have an account on, but some people have multiple accounts on different servers
but I believe its been suggested to switch it to a server with account data on it after logging in

[blazing heart]

Hmm, I was defaulted to Washington though

[ornate basin]

shouldnt be, regardless
actually iirc it will default to the lowest population server, which was amagi for quite awhile since it was brand new

[blazing heart]

Also maybe the buttons could be made a little bigger, I managed to not hit 2 times in a row and thus accidentally logged in with a new account at first (defaulted to Lexington btw)

[mortal aurora]

Just a quick a question, why is there no Swiftsure skin when you marry her? Every single other ship hase an exclusive skin you decided to marry them.

[slate monolith]

Not every ship has an oath outfit though

[quaint gazelle]

Majority of ships don’t have an oath skin

Also, it’d be nice if there was an option to clear an entire fleet in the formation section instead of having to manually remove each ship from the fleet

And a way to unequip every ship’s gear from the dock screen instead of manually going through them

[hearty crane]

28 wedding skins, 500 ships. Quite the stretch to call that "every single ship". Not even 10%

[mortal aurora]

i see

alr thx :D

[mortal aurora]

this one i agree, its really annoying sometimes

[sinful cloud]

Minor thing but was looking at the classes and noticed that Ticonderoga is part of the Essex class
I remember the Town class being represented by the 3 subclasses so shouldnt Ticon be her own subclass too or is it another weird one cause Essex had directly ships on it unlike Town?

[acoustic helm]

Suggestion regarding research system, instead of researches giving random blueprints please give us 'universal blueprints' instead. This way we can actually focus on using all bp on one ship instead of spreading the bps thru ships we want to develop later or may not want. Everything else can stay the same. (If anyone disagrees with my opinion please give some explanation because i genuinely believe this change can make overall research system much better)

[winter hearth]

Im disagree, the reason is, researches are the luck thing, if you got universal BP, the pr ship would be as easy as possible, and PR ship will not be so hard achieved goal like it's now. If everyone get one PR after 1 months of researches without spending tons of gold and cubes it will be really unfair for people who did that before. Also it won't help with DR ships because DR BPs just do not drop.

[inner frost]

Daily reminder that RNG doesn't not make it "hard".

[sinful cloud]

Another reminder that we already have gacha URs so having the grind is just to screw you now

[winter hearth]

We don't have Fate Simulation on DRs. Maybe if we will have this in 1-2 years DR will be imbalance again

[sinful cloud]

So you have to be twice as lucky to rival NJ/Shitano that you can easily get

[scenic flower]

Why won't you just ask for the 'WIN EVERYTHING' button? PR grinding now is easy as fck. I'd like it to be like at the start, when you only had some Koln sisters to farm Roon and nothing else. That was a challenge. Today it's not even interesting. BPs are everywere. The only pain is the rainbow ones.

[copper nest]

oh no how dare they give new players easier way to grind content that's few years old, universal bps for pr1 ONLY (maybe once pr4 drops to not make it too easy xd) would be good

[sinful cloud]

Might aswell at this point
Only reason to even grind them now is if you like them else just wait for a rerun
NJ powercrept FdG, Abruzzi is on par with other PR torps/cruisers... you will grind as long as waiting for it and in that time you're constantly using coins/cubes for rng in a much bigger scale, dont see them making weaker ships in the future either
Honestly if they asked me whats better, would say to wait for the rerun cause it ends up cheaper for an equal/better product

(An example of it is that im grinding for months to get FdG while simply getting NJ in 10 pulls)

[undone hull]

This is a lot of back and forth for what is essentially an already existing game feature ( in practical terms D-XXX researches let you finish specific ships significantly faster )

[eternal bronze]

thats me getting NJ with 22 pulls and fully LMBing her now while im struggling to get my FDG to dev 20 kekw

[sinful cloud]

Its really dumb but they dont rework the outdated system

[brazen rapids]

While I feel like replacing all blueprints you get from research with Universal Blueprints would be a bit too much, making all those non-face coin research projects drop Universal blueprints instead of a few random ones would be great. It'd also give them more purpose then just existing as "ugh, fine I guess I'll pick them since there's nothing better to do"

[blazing heart]

Universal blueprints will definitely allow you to get DRs much faster than you can now, so I doubt that will happen, or even worse if universal prints get added they might not be usable for DRs

[green orchid]

I would pay for a small melon Shinano skin

[scenic flower]

smol melons are rare in this game. Cow boobs most of the time. And this sux.

[blazing heart]

Have you looked at the destroyer selection this game has?

[scenic flower]

Lolis aside, I just want some normal size T0 girls.

[cursive horizon]

Yeah, we need more Kolns, Clevelands, and Noshiros.

[velvet adder]

i wish research was reworked, gotta say im really looking forward to doing the same system for pr4 for the 4th time (sarcasm)

old players dont get any bonus for completing past seasons and new players dont get anything to catch up past systems (except the 300 prints which is isnt even 20%)

the protoshop should be improved to offer better items

[cursive horizon]

I'm so sorry, I seem to be under the impression that building 200 freaking ships is a lot of resources. You act as if everyone has access to that many coins and cubes. Unless you're whaling, in which case you don't give a shit anyways, coins are a massive bottleneck to building ships. Older players like myself may have the cubes now, but coins continue to trickle in. It took me 9 days just to pull 167 times, which finally got me Boise. I already had three freaking New Jersey's. So you "disagree" that the pity system itself is useless? That's what I'm taking from your comment.

[velvet adder]

i feel like a lot of feedback gets shot down since people dont like making things easier for other players (even if it would benefit them in the end) sort of like a crab bucket thing

[naive cobalt]

@winter hearth please read pins in this channel and refrain from pointless comments like that

[winter hearth]

Sorry

[sinful cloud]

Checked the patch notes tweet and again really happy about the changes but hoping the new "removing ambushs" feature doesnt delete them permanently, they're useful to save oil to level subs

[naive cobalt]

you need to meet specific recon value for ambushes to disappear

[sinful cloud]

[crude pasture]

universal prints as they exist in game now do not give both rainbow and base PR prints, you get gold ones from gold, and rainbow from rainbow

[reef basin]

still no auto clear SOS like hard modes

[acoustic helm]

So I would like to extend my discussion regarding the research system. After reading others comments it does seem like making all bp universal certainly makes getting ships to dev30 easier. But I'd like to explain why I said what said. I started doing pr3 last month. In one month i've gotten 40+ chesire, 30+ Drake, 35 Mainz, 40+ Odin and 20+ Chamoy bps. My main focus was (Drake, chesire) for which i've gotten a decent amount. I've also finished farming Drake, Chesire and champy xp. Looking at my progress u can see all my bps are spread out and event if i submit my cube and coin and make chesire it's pointless becuz she'd be too to be even used. But if instead of getting random odin, champy, mainz bps if i'd gotten the same no. of universal bps then my chesire bps would have been 100+ which is nearly 1/3 done. TLDR: I want the devs to let us actually focus on finish developing one ship to its max dev lvl without constantly getting throttled by RNG and I am not asking to make things easy like reduce cost of research or no. of bp required. I just dont want to waste my resources on things I dont want and get frustated. Working on one ship bp for 3-4 months very frustrating. (Mods, if my posts are breaking any rules just let me off with a warning this time ; it's my first time having a discussion in this thread)

[odd token]

An In-game clock....

[sly cargo]

Public guild thingy: You work on 6+ months to make guild stuff, and with this public whatever crap you make less incentive for people to actually join guilds.... How about promoting community spirit or whatever you would call it/making better stuff for guilds instead of diminishing them??? Maybe after 5 years we will actually get 3rd guild op for month ♿, so guilds which are active have actually something to do for last 10 days or so

[hearty crane]

But you're not supposed to focus on one ship and screw the others? If that was the case why would D drop other ship prints too? As for adding universal to G, why would you ever bother with D then? Sure research could use an upgrade but I'm not sure this is the way.

[reef basin]

id like more gold plates via operators (or a harder op with more plates), but saying it diminishing the community aspect is a farce. most people dont talk to the people in their guild at all cause the chat is terrible and AL is designed to be played without looking at your phone. your best option is to try and convince people to join a discord and hope they're sociable. not being in a guild is still a massive disadvantage to ample guild shop points and monthly gold plates

[sly cargo]

could improve guild chat function somehow idk whatever, and yea, simple reason why amount of gold plates is crappy, is cuz they fkn timegate it ofc cuz reasons

[fleet salmon]

What if public guild had ops too and they had a separate monthly limit? That way there's still an incentive to join a guild - more T4 plates.

[reef basin]

there's still tons of incentive to join a guild

[velvet adder]

I feel like universal prints just goes around it anyway, whats the problem with giving the player more choice? The way pr is set up now is just to force players to engage in pr until its all completed instead of beelining one or two of them and then stopping. Players will still get the same amount of prints just allowing them to allocate them as they see fit instead of being held to RNG (which will pretty much share the prints equally no matter how hard you try to target ships). I feel like it will make the ships a lot easier to use earlier than "oh i guess im waiting for 3 months until I can actually use PR ships because theyre not as good as modern event ships until dev 25+"

[sinful cloud]

Maybe its time to replace face researchs with an universal one
Got so many Georgia bps from trying to get FdG and couldnt care more about that ship...much rather them being all universal so I can use them on the other 3

[reef basin]

PR dev level research doesnt really matter as long as getting rainbow gun prints sucks so bad. you'll dev 30 everything before you get the gun unless you get really good luck. lets get better gun prints first

[velvet adder]

I also feel like they should add past rainbow research gun prints to the proto shop Like the rainbow prints of the DR's perhaps allow it so that we can buy 10 rainbow gun prints a month

[inner frost]

I'd like it if they just added the PR guns to the gear lab

[velvet adder]

that too

we got the rainbow prints to make them in gear lab just sat there doin nuthin let us use them

[fleet salmon]

there goes that...

[velvet adder]

I feel like its pretty shit locking it behind private guilds honestly, id rather they scrapped guilds all together and had a joint server thing. Server wide bosses were pretty cool but theyve only had like 2 of them

[cursive horizon]

Considering how clunky regular guild chat is, I can only imagine how much worse it'd be if guilds were server sized. Whenever I check guild chat it typically takes 10-20 seconds just to appear and always put me at messages from several days ago. I won't even leave the main chatbox on since the World chat is the default and it's often juvenile or offensive when I checked it. Although, in a similar vein, my guild frequently mentions how dead the guild chat is since most players don't want to deal with it. Which I suppose I can understand.

[plucky bluff]

What do you guys think about fewer but longer battles? I don't like that some battles are really quick since my ships are really powerful so the battle takes like 5 secs. My aircrafts never get a chance. And the combined time of clicking for a node, waiting on the loading screen, and spamming the Battle and confirm button feel longer than the actual battle. I think it would be more fun if we were able to battle for longer than wait for the in between stuff.

[inner frost]

I'm not opposed to that idea, but I'm not sure what that would change. Do we add more mobs per node? do we make them harder to kill? From what perspective is this? farming 7-2 with an overleveled fleet or just starting a new map for the first time?

There's a lot of variables that goes into that, and I don't want to potentially spend more time in trivial battles then I already am.

[velvet adder]

yeah they should make a battle where its 5 nodes AND the boss combined so then i only have to do the loading screen for 1 battle and complete the map

[hearty crane]

Pretty sure longer battles will consume more battery. This still is a mobile game... even if Siren Strongholds definitely don't remember. And it makes it harder to just boot up a quick session and do a battle or 2 then switch phone off again.

[cursive horizon]

I still periodically get crashed back to the phone's desktop just traveling from one battle to the next without any loading screen involvement. It'll happen when it goes to bring up the fleet check screen. I used to think it was only happening when it went to load, but it's happened during this event's SP which doesn't have fleet lock.

[hearty crane]

Does it happen when you would have gotten notifications? Then you need the appstore update. Also #tech-support would be the place to ask next time

[cursive horizon]

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean I was asking for help. It was the idea of having lots of battles at once. I would be worried about crashes and it making me have to start over. I think it may be related to the phone getting warm, honestly, it's not an Azur Lane specific issue. Everything on the phone's updated.

[lucid fog]

option to auto equip skin? , my universal bulin has a skin & would appreciate if there's an option (like in the game settings) instead of manually equipping 50 universal bulin skin

[cursive horizon]

Oh boy, more loading screens coming in that I really don't want to see. Getting kinda fed up with this.

Edit: Telling me to shut up isn’t gonna make this issue go away. You can choose not to use ships you don’t like, you can’t choose which loading screens appear.

[velvet adder]

thank you very much manjuu and yostar for all the bache content lately now if youll just give us bache oath skin or l2d for anniversary (you know you want to) then everyone will be happy (if they say they arent then theyre a liar)

but yes the bache loading screens are very nice i will 5 star you on google play

[cursive horizon]

Yeah, it certainly isn't Bache that's bothering me among the loading screens! I hear she's popular in Japan, so she'll get something down the road. Meanwhile, I still wait for Hipper to get anything. It feels like the Iron Blood don't get much unless they're very specific ships. Still hoping for that loading screen selection, though. I even see requests for it on Reddit and Twitter, so I'm surprised they've been ignoring it.

[hearty crane]

Yes, more Bache and Hipper love. Not just the DD+ (And I ain't talking about destroyers).

[hearty crane]

Sees actual loading screens Wait, I'm confused, they are all tame?

[cursive horizon]

I’m specifically talking about the one by Hisashi with what I think is Tallinn or some IB girls, and the one with I-19 in some skimpy sleepwear. I agree the rest are tame and fine. I could just post/link them in here but I don't know if they're allowed or not.

[cursive horizon]

Okay, was looking in General and I'm pretty sure I saw at least one of these posted, so I'll just slap it behind a Spoiler so people don't gotta see if they don't want to. Mods, if this isn't allowed, I understand.

Apart from not having any idea who is who in the top image, I'm just not interested in it. It's fine as fanart/whatever, just don't wanna see it in game. The bottom one is really skimpy and not something I'd want to pop up if I'm out somewhere. Again, they're not bad, I just would rather not see them in the game when I'm playing.

[inner frost]

Gangut, Soyuz and Tallinn. Those loading screens are perfectly fine if you ask me.

[crude pasture]

and again we end up in the situation that we could use the ability to selectively prevent loading screens from showing up

[velvet adder]

second research slot

[cursive horizon]

Aaah, right, Northern Parliament. I saw who I thought was Tallinn and immediately thought of Iron Blood for some reason, thanks.

[high pond]

Bring back U-556&U-81 loading screen by 药锅锅 and Fletcher bath loading screen

[crude pasture]

perhaps because you were aware of the Lützow/Petropavlovsk situation?

those two names have three ships shared between them: Deutschland, Tallinn/Dniepr and Marat/Volkhov

with the first two being Lützow, and the latter two being PPL

[cursive horizon]

That's probably it, yeah. I know Tallinn is related to Hipper & Eugen so I keep mentally placing her with the IB instead of the NP. I found the Lutzow situation with Deustchland and her sense of insecurity to be fascinating. If Tallinn gets gets a secretary story I wonder if they'll bring it up there.

[sinful cloud]

Welp they already said it but really would like that option to not have to keep looking at that pile of trash known as bache

[velvet adder]

[cursive horizon]

Hmm, lots of passive aggressive reactions tonight, I see. I don't think a single person needs to leave 7+ just cause they don't like my leaving feedback they disagree with.

[bronze elk]

Well I wouldn't take it too personally, perhaps some of your suggestions may have come across too strongly to begin with? Given that this is a public channel, i'm pretty sure some healthy discourse is to be expected when you state your opinions (especially when they come into conflict with what most of us play this game for in the first place)

As for the topic of loading screens itself, a toggle would indeed be the best solution for all parties (such that even those who don't mind what they see can selectively view their favorite screens among the batches of new ones that are released). The topic of what people want to see is subjective in the first place, so having something that allows us to bypass that would be rather welcome personally.

To take it a step further, perhaps said toggle (along with the loading screens we have released to date) could be implemented within the Gallery; if only to give it more of a use outside of viewing a select group of older loading screens. Given that the Gallery files download is optional (and can be done individually anyway) + doesn't really interfere with gameplay with its positioning on the lobby screen, even those with storage space concerns can utilise this feature effectively.

[hearty crane]

They have to fix the gallery first though, been broken since like Universe in Unison o_o

[ornate basin]

I dont recall it being broken but regardless carry on… not meaning to make a discussion about it

[cursive horizon]

I believe you're right that I'm probably coming off too strongly or that I'm clashing too much. I don't mean for that to happen and am trying to word things better, but conveying my thoughts has always been a bit of struggle. For the Gallery, I actually thought it was originally going to be something in conjunction with the loading screens since it asks you if you want to download them. That would be a useful way to integrate it!

[raven crater]

is the absurdly large font on missions intentional or a bug? I hate it either way but not sure if I should submit that sentiment as a bug report or feedback

[velvet adder]

i have a feeling its intentional maybe for higher res phones?

[topaz tusk]

Hear me out, Auto lane on SOS maps please.

[spice sage]

It might just be me, but the font is bigger than normal and it's kinda uncomfortable

I wish there's option to change fonts size cuz i know, there's a phone with bigger screen size than mine

But this just made me unpleasant

[obtuse breach]

yeah, no clue why they increased the font size

it looks ugly as shit now

[copper nest]

I don't mind it

[topaz tusk]

the interface is very laggy too, more than before

[kindred vessel]

The font is way too big on my 8 Plus which is already a phone on the large size

[modest island]

On the top 1/3 of the screen which i use for AL, since the window is small cause splitscreen its alright size wise i guess

But aesthetic wise its ugly

[ionic matrix]

It looks big on a Galaxy Z Fold 2 as well

[modest island]

Make it an option in settings so that ppl who need/want big font can enable it, and people who dont can disable it

[reef basin]

ive complainted several times that its annoying that you cant choose ships lines because of the added EX lines conflicting with skins, but Ark's oath skin not having her EX lines takes this to a whole different level.

[pure gyro]

While I understand the highlight where her nose is, is to indicate her nose I would like to point out that this may not be enough. She looks like she was not given a nose. If you look at Ark Royals Guardian of the Ball skin its close to the same angle as her oath skin just flipped. However her nose is clearly defined even by a subtle line. Possible just adding some sort of small line to help indicate her nose might give her the appearance of actually having a nose.

[crude pasture]

Hot damn Krillin became a girl

[pure gyro]

I would also like to add that I tried looking at the skin not just on my phone, but also while its open on BlueStack on my 32" monitor as well as my 42" monitor and that does not seem to help.

[naive cobalt]

@hearty rapidsif you have gameplay questiosn - please direct them to #gameplay-help

[golden cape]

When I hit load can the game please take the equipment off of another ship girl without me having to do it manually?

So if I hit load and there is no spare available give me a list of girls with say the Champagne gun and let me choose who take it from

It would be more convinient that way.

[full juniper]

I went to defeat a Stronghold Boss when the "Siren nodes remaining" said "1" and when I finally did it said "0".

I was trying to exit only to see it was still locked until I realized this.

Am I not understanding something?

[raven crater]

Probably a better question for #gameplay-help

[full juniper]

Sorry, I assumed at first it was a bug of sorts.

[raven crater]

That would be #bug-reports then (but either way, might be better to confirm it first)

[sinful cloud]

As much as the map generation screws you sometimes, that one is open
Walk on the fog diagonally left below Littorio

[scenic osprey]

Is the EX/SP map music available outside of the game? (either on social media, YouTube, or even in-game via the music player)
It's growing on me.

[grizzled lily]

Instead of manually accepting guild missions over and over again, shouldn't there be some sort of pop up menu that tells you when it finishes and you can accept the mission from there? Going back and forth between the guild and home screen seems as if it is a bit time consuming?

[crude pasture]

have you checked the game today?

or the patchnotes?

my D3 run just now

[hearty crane]

@raven crater @full juniper cough <#known-bugs message>

[full juniper]

Ah good, it was noticed.

Thanks.

[raven crater]

That doesn't seem to be the issue at hand though, unless I still don't understand this. It's showing siren control is 20% in Rhen's screenshot here. You can see on the map there is still one boss available. If he kills that boss, it should decrease to 0. The way this bug is described, it sounds like the control would be 20% but no bosses would be alive

[velvet adder]

It could mean sirens by the actual sirens (the human looking ones) the last one left could just be one of those ship bosses but i might have no idea

[hearty crane]

Its a bug. Really. All explained in the trello.

[raven crater]

Oh, I understand the bug after rereading the card

[velvet adder]

this game is cool but will there ever be a way to remove oath border from ships

another research slot or something to make research a little bit more... "friendly"

[raven crater]

My understanding of the bug was wrong, but no one bothered to correct me

The actual bug is that the "Siren nodes remaining" indicator in the right middle of the screen is showing 0, but there's clearly one siren left. This issue occurs when you allow the ambush siren to take over a friendly node, which increases the control % of the sirens but does not increase the number of siren nodes remaining. However, when you kill the ambush siren it decreases the siren control % and the siren nodes remaining by 1, causing a mismatch of how many nodes are actually left (even though the control % is correct)

[velvet adder]

yeah i read it too i just answered without it

im tired of having to be stuck in pr2 research for the 457 and having to do pr1 research anyways by the staag

yeah we need other ways to get these prints or gear when the season is over and a new one is out

just do it the easy way with other research slot, idk why some people just react with pepega when i talk about it

not like is going to change the game too much or unbalance it

people dont want others to have an easy job at it since they had to do it the hard way same with a lot of things on this game

[sinful cloud]

They forget things change and get outdated

[grizzled lily]

I have not, just found out that right now, saw it when I finished a stage.

[velvet adder]

im playing since 2018 and i'm still stuck in pr2 research just because the 457 exists

new players will appreciate some kind of change too

old players its time to stop being boomers embrace change you will benefit too

time for a big gear lab overhaul

[plucky dagger]

Hey yall, I am just curious why the twin 76mm is in game in the gear lab. It cost a ridiculous amount and does poor dps.

Compared to the Type 96mm triple 25 in the sakura empire tree which cost significantly less like a third. It fires slower and does 7 less dmg.

[silver cliff]

If this massive font is meant to be an accessibility feature, it should togglable. It's huge, ugly, hard to read, has overlap issues, and is causing lag changing menus.

[cloud sable]

saying it does "poor DPS" and does only "7 more damage than the 25mm" and it firing faster than the 25mm are factually incorrect
Costing alot though? and having lowish alpha damage? sure those are defintely true.

[plucky dagger]

I am going off what it says in the gear lab.

In the tab, the type 96 does 40 a tick at .7s a tick.

The twin 76mm does 33 a tick at .95s a tick about

[cloud sable]

those are +0 stats, which dont reflect how they would compare at +10
and for ref, for AA, the reload you see isnt the final reload either, theres an absolute cooldown of 0.5s thats added to that.
and AA isnt dictated by a single gun, its being averaged out through your fleet (average of fleet's AA range and reload, with the sum of the alpha damage) so

[plucky dagger]

But yes, the price is absolutely insane compared to the type 96. Costing 45 Military grade processors, the 96 cost 15.

[plucky dagger]

I realize they are +0 but shouldnt they still keep the same advantages?

Over each other at +10

[cloud sable]

not always, look at the stats i posted, those are +10 stats

[plucky dagger]

I did, it seems odd.

Thats completely different from the +0 tho.

[cloud sable]

yes, and thats why im saying you shouldnt trust the +0 stats

anyways, im not arguing over your feedback, im just correcting misconceptions youre having so theres no need to keep going here

[plucky dagger]

No no, your fine, I actually appriciate the correction

I was kinda thinking i was missing something but its odd how things change in terms of ranking

[thick pine]

The main problem with just adding a second research slot right now would be the coin cost of supporting both.
If the research costs can be revised or larger amounts of coins can be more easily gained, two research slots would be a better solution.
Other than that, newer players will continue to complain that they can't catch up to older players, since both would benefit from this. Personally, I don't see this as a problem, older players have played the game for longer, of course they'll have more stuff.

[velvet adder]

some guide about managing resources could help new players with that

[winter lance]

Please change this line to something less horrifying.

1. There really is no need to triple down on the unfunny joke.
2. With her reputation, her saying something like that is extremely uncomfortable.
3. I assume that the VA hasn't recorded the lines yet, so there is time to avoid this disaster.

[eternal bronze]

she was aways like this

[tall depot]

ark royal is a good girl, she doesnt need any changes

[cursive horizon]

I stand by my interpretation that she's thirsty, but she'd stop short of actually hurting anyone and just has a problematic infatuation with younger girls. I'm 100% certain she'd punch a Siren in the face if it was to protect them.

[tulip solar]

Holy molly this line.

[cloud sable]

Maybe instead of doing 2x research slots, give new players a certain amount of an item like the high efficency plans but for research (like doubling the drop amount)? it wouldnt increase resource cost and would only give a temporary edge to new players (assuming ofc that the amount of these items is limited and only given to commanders with a low enough cmdr level)

[winter lance]

I don't understand, why are people defending that Ark line? I don't want the character or the skin deleted, just this line less batshit insane.

[cursive horizon]

I think Mr Fappo needs to settle down. I understand why it bothers you, I just don't have a problem with it myself.

[winter lance]

thanks

[delicate lance]

I don't think white font is good there

Something something days to complete

[velvet adder]

Please add mutsuki skin event in mini event gallery soon

[crude pasture]

oh they will, have patience

[high pond]

Please add oath skins for Mutsuki class, Ark Royal would love that

[ornate basin]

we dont take skin suggestions including oath. @high pond

[crude pasture]

I'm like 70% sure that wasn't an entirely serious suggestion

[ornate basin]

either way, its not welcome here

[crude pasture]

fair

[normal vine]

anyone else being bugged by the mess of fonts the game has become after yesterday's update?

I mean, it was a mess before, but yesterday made it so much worse

PLEASE CHOOSE ONE FONT AND STICK WITH IT

two if you absolutely have to

[ornate basin]

font hasnt changed, it only became bolder

[normal vine]

I count normal and bold as two

[charred matrix]

Did EN server get the new loadscreens? The only one I saw was the Noshiro one.

[ornate basin]

they havent alternated between the two, so im a little confused by the pick one and stick with it but a more constructive feedback has been made to make it toggleable since not all users need bold font to distinguish the wording/to make it accessibility based

[normal vine]

the whole game needs an actual UI designer to clean up its fonts - just look at the cattery, that thing alone uses half a dozen different fonts and font weights

[cursive horizon]

Incidentally, since the update I've seen a large ❗ in the Cattery that never seems to go away. If this is a new feature I seriously don't like it.

(made it smaller)

[winter hearth]

@ornate basin is it possible to suggest buff of a ship? Or is it not allowed as suggestions of retrofits?

[hearty crane]

Fairly sure the ! issues with the cattery have existed forever

[crude pasture]

No that is an issue I noticed after maintenance too

[hearty crane]

It was fine before I think the OPS auto update(?) that added a bunch of fonts and screwed up the entire cattery. That one auto update caused a series of very strange issues that have yet to been fixed.

[hearty crane]

Half-yearly reminder that OPS has A/B requirements... so why are they hidden? If intended to always get S, weeeelll...

[copper nest]

Ok it's dead. My feedback would be, extra missions if either side is dead so you can get every reward!

[scenic flower]

They just have to connect people automatically. Coz there is no way someone will invite an oldy, who forgot about this game.

[cursive horizon]

I had no idea that I could even participate without being connected to someone else until this one, only to find it ends before you can get the rewards. I agree that it should just allow you to connect with whoever. Who could you even invite without asking someone, and who is going to know their ID off the top of their head unless they're already playing and can look it up for you.

[void stratus]

I don't really get why a mobile game have PC aspects.
I do understand that some players play on emulators but they can easily adjust the screen ratio.

It's 2021 and not 2016. Smartphones nowadays have at least 18:9 screen ratio.

Considering remaking the skills and adjusting the ratio even in battles.

[silver depot]

There's already a setting you can toggle to make it resize the loading screens to get rid of the black bars

If you set "Auto-adjust loading screen aspect ratio" to "Off", it will get rid of the black bars

[void stratus]

I know that already. By doing that you sacrifice quality and 30% of the art. But I'm not talking only for loading screens.

[final jewel]

can we have a way to toggle off certain loading screen artworks, lately there have been a lot of loading screens that make me feel physically ill

[inner frost]

Getting "Physically ill" from certain loading screens is not a.. healthy response to get. That aside:
While I understand that not everyone want's to see girls in revealing outfits, I don't think it's going to get changed any time soon, if, at all.

If we go by a toggle, there are multiple toggles. A "SFW" and "NSFW" toggle wouldn't work as if we go by this discords rules by what loading screens are deemed "NSFW", the loading screens that you don't want to see would still exist under said SFW tag and thus wouldn't change anything. (Of course someone else could have a different opinion, but having someone or multiple people go over every loading screen to see if its SFW or not is a lot of effort for a loading screen.)

Have it like a gallery where you select the loading screens you want:
While it would work, it would require them to develop this function and this too would be "too much effort" for loading screens, and especially for (what it seems to me) a minority of the player base.

While it would be good if everyone could see what they want to see, I don't think a change is going to happen any time soon.
That said, I'm curious what JP and CN thinks about the loading screens and if they think it's an issue

[scenic flower]

Who said we want SFW/NSFW stuff? This is a wrong way. We need the personal black list, so the pics from this list would be deleted from the phone for good. And we need kinda gray list, so the pics from this list will be hidden until the moment a player will toggle them to white list (with possible customizable time intervals, when these pics are welcomed to show automatically).

[inner frost]

Again, that ties in to creating a completely new system solely for loading screens, It's way too much effort for a (unassumingly) minority of the player base. Hence why I said that it's unlikely that it will ever get changed

[sinful cloud]

Could just take the gallery and revamp to smth like Muse Dash
Slap the loading screens in there and let ppl choose what they want to appear, no need to have a list and remove old ones/update with new every maintenance simply increase the ones in there

[scenic flower]

'Minority' is nothing but your imagination, dude.

People asked for this tons of times. If you're new here, it doesn't give you the right to write nonsense.

[inner frost]

I see the same people writing about it 90% of the time

I'm just giving my thoughts, thats it

[velvet adder]

I just don't think its gonna happen If anything im on the fence of having even more lewd loading screens because thats what I play this game for (i certainly dont think theres a huge market for those who specifically dont like the loading screens since If there was it would have been made by now, people have been asking for it for years and I think its an EN demographic problem solely)

[frigid hedge]

It's honestly more of a QOL change tbh

[velvet adder]

Sure it could be added if you guys think of it as a huge problem but I mean I personally think it's part of the game itself

[copper nest]

That option hurts no one, because well it is option, optional, trello card for this is few years old by now ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[velvet adder]

isn't their certain ships in the game that look of the same nature to them in the loading screens? like are people really gonna be advocating for a feature to hide certain ships next like I personally don't get it

But if theres a trello for it then you can ask mods to modify it if you dont think it goes into depth or vote on it too

[copper nest]

"Highly Requested", it's from January 2019, it's not on #collected-feedback, oldest post is from one year ago (almost exactly)

[scenic flower]

The problem is not only in lewd pics. There is a lot of third party shitworks. Like some with gigantic boobs or just with girls ruined so much that it's impossible to look at them without hating the artist.

[past ridge]

Can we please have the option to sell equipment that is equipped on ships? I have so much common equips that I can't bulk sell because they are stuck on ships I don't even use.

[solemn peak]

and what percentage exactly of the playerbase is in this channel, asking for this ? Yes, indeed. If you're new here, it doesn't give you the right to write nonsense and be an asshole.

[final jewel]

see, we all win from this, if you really like to ooga booga about booba all day long you can just disable every loading screen that isnt from hisasi or whoever else that has those loading screens

there is literally no downside to this so i dont see why people complain about it being "anti fanservice" i just dont personally like it but that doesnt mean the functionality is inherently anti fanservice

[hasty mountain]

well, the downside is that it takes limited development time that people would rather know was spent fixing actually broken shit in the game

I don't particularly care either way, but saying there are no downsides is a lie

[high pond]

If they ever implement that, it would be nice to have all loading screens available including Fletcher bath

[torpid patio]

is there a chance to not gate event stages 3*ing rewards? like if i only want the gold bulin reward from 3 starring D3 why do i need to 3 star everything prior to it, esp with the auto search not needing the 3 stars

[real cobalt]

I have a question about a skin. Since all party dress outfits are out is Roons outfit not a party dress outfit? I thought it was but i could be mistaken and not sure if its a bug or not?

[golden cape]

Giving players the option to hide certain loading screens is rather unimportant compared to more meaningful changes devs could be making.

[golden cape]

There is 63 vanguard retrofits in the game and only 17 main fleet retros. When choosing who to retro could we get more main fleet instead of vanguard.

Not fussed who gets them but it would be nice to see more.

[thick pine]

Bisko retrofit!

QE retrofit afterwards

[hearty crane]

Especially when main fleet get x-3 and x-4 and would seem more important, but ain't. Especially cv gets many retro drops farming unique shipdrops in x-4 but little actual use

[dim river]

Nagato adult retrofit

[cursive horizon]

I'm seeing remarks that there's "more important issues" beyond making loading screens selectable, but I don't see those being addressed any faster by the devs. The mere fact that "selecting loading screens" have been asked for by here, Twitter, and even Reddit for years means that it is far and above more than just "a few people" or even a vocal minority. Ultimately, if someone isn't bothered by them that means this issue has nothing to do with them, nor would it's implementation change how they play or enjoy the game. However, it's inclusion would benefit many players.

Also, it's worth pointing out that the general negative reaction to even bringing the idea up probably scares off many commenters. If one says that it's the same handful of people suggesting it, it's equally true that it's often the same handful of people rejecting it. I see a lot of the same names in the Reaction emotes whenever this stuff comes up. Saying "it doesn't bother me so it's not an issue" is like saying "it's not a problem cause it doesn't affect me". The fact that the gallery already exists means there is already a possible solution available, it just needs tweaking.

While I'm not some expert programmer (and let's be honest most of us probably aren't), I don't think enabling loading screens to be toggled via the Gallery would be nearly as difficult as fixing some of the myriad bugs and glitches that exist. That entails a lot of searching and attempts to replicate them, which from what I've gathered via developer friends/channels is a lot more difficult.

[copper nest]

That would belong in #bug-reports, also check #known-bugs and trello for it

[cursive horizon]

Also sorry if I'm coming off as rude, it's not intended.

[twin thistle]

oh my bad wrong channel. thanks for pointing it out

[velvet adder]

can the refresh button for meta assists check if a coord is expired or not, and if it has expired please remove it from the list

[wet sentinel]

can we have an option in the settings that makes it so that your phone vibrates when auto search/battle ends?

[hearty crane]

Poorly named "Auto Combat Alert" does that already

[wet sentinel]

oh it exists already? I didn't know that

[hearty crane]

slot0:BindCondition(uv0.TYPES.COMMANDER, function ()
-return getProxy(CommanderProxy):haveFinishedBox()

•    if not LOCK_CATTERY then
  

•       return getProxy(CommanderProxy):haveFinishedBox() or getProxy(CommanderProxy):AnyCatteryExistOP() or getProxy(CommanderProxy):AnyCatteryCanUse()
  

•  else
  

•     return slot0
  

+    end

In reddotmgr. Lock_Cattery is true at the moment, so it returns that "slot0" instead of haveFinishedBox. As far as I can tell. Seems a side-effect of the Cattery updates being delayed.

[crude pasture]

welp

hope the cattery update will fix that then

[crystal gazelle]

I think Helena META's details voiceline is incorrectly translated, it's translated as "My SG tells me not only exactly where you are, Commander, but also what you are thinking.", but what she says in Japanese is something more along the lines of "I wish my SG would tell me not only exactly where you are, Commander, but also what you are thinking. "

[fleet salmon]

Also the Idle 1 line is definitely not what it says on the wiki

[north wave]

how do you know? you don't have her yet

[fleet salmon]

Look at her quotes page on the wiki, at the secretary idle 1 line, play it and she definitely says something else. That's what I mean

[north wave]

Mmm, well what she says in japanese can be found on the JP lines, which when google translated are the same as the EN lines,

so yes the en translation would be accurate to the voiceline

[fleet salmon]

But it's not. what. she. says. It doesn't make it right if it they didn't transcribe it right in JP

[north wave]

then you tell me what she says

because i highly doubt they transcribed it wrongly in JP, otherwise players would be complaining (she's saying one thing while the text is another)

and remember, JP is their biggest playerbase and cash source so i doubt they'd fuckup that easily

[fleet salmon]

Bro, I can hear and I can read and this:

Is not what she says in the voiceline

[trail elk]

Suggestion of adding a "Select other skills" button so we don't have to go through the selection screen looking for the same shipgirl again just to select their other skills we want to level up (in the middle or somewhere on the empty black void)

[cursive horizon]

It’s especially frustrating if you misclick and the girl just vanishes, so now you gotta go dig her out of your dock again for the same skill you were simply adding another book to. It happens periodically cause small phones.

[hasty mountain]

Of course you don't see them being addressed any faster by the devs, you would instead see them addressed even slower if they made a gallery selector; actually you wouldn't, unless you somehow lived in two parallel timelines where they did and did not create the selector and could compare the two, which you don't so this is irrelevant.

The fact is, developing a loading screen selector that lives up to the standards of the rest of the game will take a non-zero amount of development, art and QA time that will take the place of something else they have in their development pipeline. If you so much as even glance at the trello you will see that there are hundreds of cards which may or may not be in their internal issue tracker, along with however many more they have gathered through other means and however many more are related to future content they have a deadline to finish in order to keep the game's events flowing. If this loading screen selector has not been implemented yet, it means that it's either currently in development, or it is not seen as a priority by the team. This is the only thing I ask the "but there are no downsides!" crowd to understand.

And as far as the reactions on this channel goes, I'm willing to bet the people asking for the nsfw selector and the people posting negative reactions are both minorities, so I see no point in pointing names and fingers here

[thorny stump]

In tactical class, in choosing ship girl, for those ships that have all max skills (ie nothing more to learn), please hide them. Otherwise the entire list of over 500 ships will show up and I dunno which ones are "completed"

[trail elk]

The shigirls with max skills appear all the way to the bottom but that wont be a bad idea, like a filter option

[hasty mountain]

do you guys do something different? I didn't do anything in the tactical class selector and all ships with max skills are thrown to the bottom of the list, of course it would be better if they were hidden, but the way they are now I can ignore them pretty much every time

[trail elk]

Im not sure if filtering via hull type has the girls with maxed skills already in the pool too

[thorny stump]

We know at the very bottom of the list the ships are max skills ... but we dunno where in the mid point of the list the max skills girls start from. I hav to search all around the middle to see which ships are max and which are not

[trail elk]

Most of the girls youre working on skills will more likely appear on the top than being mixed with maxed skills from what ive seen, doesn't matter the ship lv theyre at

[cloud sable]

not sure if you have noticed, but if you click this it tells you what skill level their skills are

in the skill classroom it instantly goes to skill level, in dock, you have to click it twice to see skill level

[thorny stump]

Not true. I am sometimes maxing out the ships that may be low levels, so they appear in the middle of the list first

[cloud sable]

if youre maxing out or working on low level ships adding them to favourites helps alot

[rain thorn]

there should be a bit more options in regards to auto battling

Like you can set the ships movement on auto, but keep the torps, planes, and battleship shots manual

but I know there's bound to be problems with that

especially with the battleship part, because the aiming is tied to the movement of your ship

and cuz auto mode allows Battleships to shoot whereever they want without support from vanguard movement

[velvet adder]

as far as i know auto actually aims the shots to hit enemies it doesnt use the same thing manual does

[rain thorn]

yeah

but with what I suggested they have to somehow program so that you can control the battleship aim with the barrage button itself (like a joystick)

[velvet adder]

ohhh i get it but imo that would completely negate why id use auto anyway, cos i use it to yknow auto

[ionic matrix]

Is it okay for me to leave feedback that Wichita should have medium armor?

The whole "armored like a light cruiser" thing is a misconception. She was built off of a modified Brooklyn-class hull yes, but was armored damn near as well as the Baltimore-class CAs.
Even the Wikipedia entry acknowledges this:

USS Wichita (CA-45) was a unique heavy cruiser of the United States Navy built in the 1930s. The last American cruiser designed to meet the limits of London Naval Treaty, she was originally intended to be a New Orleans-class heavy cruiser, accordingly with the maximum main armament of three triple 8-inch (203 mm) gun turrets. These were instead placed on an improved hull derived from the Brooklyn-class light cruisers, with increased armoring.

I get it's likely a factor of her being a very early ship added to the game, but the devs do balance passes every now and then. I think it would be a good change.
I would suggest putting it in a retrofit, but they don't take feedback on retrofits here. >_>

[trail elk]

The weird thing i dont get is that enemy wichita has medium armor and playable has light armor

[scenic flower]

Coz CLs has light armor most of the time, while the sirens' clones can have literally anything

[velvet adder]

i just want to play azur lane without having to block the screen

[void schooner]

You may want to try #gameplay-help.

[scenic flower]

was there a card about the phone going into sleeping mode while the fleet is travelling at huge OPSI map without fights?

[mortal onyx]

are skill suggestions accepted here

anyways ill put this here real quick

tirpitz new skill suggestion :

Tirpitz Defensive Skill

Fættenfjord Fortress

Increases AA Range to 45 (->55) and AA by 12% (->20%). Reduces damage taken from Bombs by 15% (->25%) and Torpedoes by 10% (->15%). Reduces damage taken by Main fleet from Torpedoes by 8% (->12%). When Tirpitz HP is below 70%, increases evasion by 20% (->40%).

[crude pasture]

new skills probably fall under the "retrofits" part of the prohibited suggestions

[coral vapor]

YES!
FKING YES!! THANK YOU FOR MAKE IT AUTOMATIC!!!

[coral vapor]

"When Tirpitz HP is below 70%, increases evasion by 20% (->40%)."
Are there any other Battleship with Evasion boost skill?
In my opinion, I think it not make very much sense. Battleship Evasion?? Most BB (if not all) are having a low Evasion stat anyways, Boosting it in percentage wouldn't do much thing.
And not to mention the skill name. It have "Fortress" in it but boost evasion? Aren't Fortress are not moving or slow??

Lower time on fire or lower chance of catching fire, maybe?

[crude pasture]

I keep clicking on the blue instead tho because that's what I had to do to start another previously, and it just disrupts the flow now

[coral vapor]

We'll get used to it soon

And it disrupts the flow since before

It a lot better when it automatic

[hearty crane]

Not true if you lvl newly pulled Gatcha. But yeah I fav them and use that screen to work around stuff like this.

[crude pasture]

if they're in a fleet, they'd then be at the bottom of that part of the dock

[hearty crane]

Yeah last patch got sweet QoL updates. I have been asking for direct blueprint crafting in Gear Lab since December. Hope they keep it up!

[real cobalt]

Can we get more ways of obtaining ssr bullions (not sure i spelled that right)

[coral vapor]

I think it already enough. I have them 18 Golden Bulin(s) with no use at the moment.

And I didn't even actively collecting them

[winter hearth]

Im not sure it's allowed, but I just let my suggestion to buff Bismarck. I think it's enough to change one skill a bit to make Bismarck not only buff ship, also the damage dealer.

Skill before:
Wahrheit - The first salvo round of each main gun volley is guaranteed to critically hit. When equipped with a CL gun in the secondary slot, increase its detection range and shooting range to 65 (90), but decrease its damage dealt by 35.0%.

Skill after:
Wahrheit - The first salvo round of each main gun volley is guaranteed to critically hit. When equipped with a CL gun in the secondary slot, increase its detection range and shooting range to 90 (x) |x- this is a value of range Bismarck need to shoot to the same far point as Odin now, I just do not know what it is in the numbers|.

I think just this little change will allow Bismarck to deal more damage and she will be comparable with another Flagships not only in the buff, as also in the damage she deals.

[blazing heart]

Since I've read something about manual aim on battleships: I think the aim of volleys being dependent on the movement of your vanguard is just dumb and annoying, imo it would be much better if you were just to drag the fire volley button to the target and let go of it there.

[winter hearth]

You can make auto on for a second to not aim BBs manually

[blazing heart]

Yes that's what I'm doing now, but that just goes to show how much of a pain in the ass manual aim is rn

[inner frost]

You do lose some salvo damage by having it fire on auto though

how you aim your salvos really should be changed imo

[winter hearth]

I think manually aim is that, what makes BBs so interesting to play because you need to think, to put your Vanguard in right position and shoot. If not, than BBs will be as boring as CVs

And automatically aimed salvos are shit, so I think it would be better if we could aim every single salvo like by Gascogne

[faint hinge]

Also have swipe be a fire all or something, having to wait for CDs when multiple BBs are ready to fire sucks

[blazing heart]

Your definition of interesting very often coincides with my definition of annoying

[winter hearth]

yes, the Cooldown should be removed.

It should be something like that https://youtu.be/m_SBPSzc1YE

[blazing heart]

Should just be the same as with CVs yeah

[winter hearth]

Cooldown yes, but mechanicaly they should be different

[blazing heart]

That would kinda remove Gascogne's uniqueness though

[winter hearth]

That's right, but I think it would be very good for all BBs if there's no CD, because you need more skill to aim all salvos and every salvo will deal +20% damage because aimed manually

[blazing heart]

Also on this is it just me or do the 2nd and 3rd salvo have a longer time between aim and impact than the 1st salvo? Even if you just switch on auto for a short time the 1st volley imo tends to hit much faster and much better than the other 2. If that's not just my imagination it should be changed as well.

[winter hearth]

I know it is manually so, and I don't use Auto so I don't know how it is there with salvos speed

[copper nest]

"You need to put vanguard in right position" and eat a lot of damage for free, it's not ideal

[winter hearth]

But this makes BBs to class with unique mechanic. If the mechanic will be same to CVs, than it makes no sense to choose between them, gameplay on both will be same.

[blazing heart]

I wouldn't say aiming BBs rn requires skill, just some time fiddling around esp with a slow fleet and the boss moving around annoyingly. And it's stupid that auto can shoot at targets you can't possibly manually shoot at, hence I think my suggestion of just dragging the fire button on target is still the best solution that comes to my mind to solve all the issues aiming has right now

[inner frost]

But they will remain "mechanically different" as you say as long as you have to aim it

hell, even if you auto, they function differently

It's actually weird to me how you are not free to aim your salvos as you want on manual, but the AI can aim them however they want on auto.
It's big disconnect.

[copper nest]

Tap BB button, time stops, now instead of moving vanguard you're moving crosshair, put it where you want, press button again and game continues
Kinda breaks flow of the game, just quick idea, probably not that good

[winter hearth]

I mean. When you play BBs manually you need some skill to put your VG in right position to damage the target you need, if aiming will be automatically, than it will be no possibility to choose target you want to damage.

[winter hearth]

That's the Cooldown thing, that breaks all timings of BBs. I think this should be removed and BBs are shooting fast without mowing to them, so you can shoot as fast as launch airstrikes on CVs

[copper nest]

I don't think you understand

[blazing heart]

Also if I had to manual everything this argument would probably just bias me towards CVs since aiming BBs is such a pain

[inner frost]

How is it "skillfull" to move your vanguard forward or backward? because that's esentially what it is

[winter hearth]

Can you do this before shooting to just to tap button? Or can you do this to not get tons of damage with VG? It's already a bit skillful

[blazing heart]

That sounds like a more complicated and weird alteration of what I suggested, that you just hold the fire button, it turns into a crosshair, you drag it on target, release and then the BBs shoot (without time stop)
Time stop would make you always have perfect aim, break the flow
Also aiming with joystick is not the best alternative anyway imo

[copper nest]

We will still have vanguard positioning for torps and skills and avoiding damage

[winter hearth]

Even if aiming of BBs will be done with another extra joystick, it will make them weaker, because you cannot just smash the button because you know,. your VG is on right position

[blazing heart]

Tbh with this argumentation you could say having to ram the enemies with your vanguard to get an airstrike down would be a good mechanic and should be added cuz it requires skill

[copper nest]

Both of these solutions don't need to contradict with removal of long cooldown between reloaded shots btw

[winter hearth]

I thought about that, and I wanted to suggest a mechanic for CVs like for BBs, but than I understood it won't be a different between them

[winter hearth]

Long Cooldown between shoots should be removed anyway

[blazing heart]

Anyway I don't think it's a good thing if playing on manual if you just immediately move the vanguard so that you hit the main enemy the BB takes longer to fire at the target than on auto (or at least just as long) and your vanguard tends to take more dmg and you can't even hit all targets auto can

[copper nest]

No one is saying it shouldn't be removed (the cooldown)

[winter hearth]

I have Idea: The aiming should be with dragging the BB shoot button, so you can let your VG wherever you want and attack enemies, but the start point of the targeting should be like it's now, depending on VG position, so it will be possible to smash the button if you know the position of aim because you know the position of VG, and it will also be possible to shoot wherever your VG is, because targeting will be independent from VG except start position

[blazing heart]

Actually I really like that suggestion
The only problem I see is that the aim starts elsewhere than the BB fire button so it would immediately start to move in that direction

[winter hearth]

What do mean? Start is like now, depending to VG, so you can know the start postion and it will allow you to aim. If you mean, that it's not enough place to aim, than I could be something like second joystick where is enough place to move your aim elsewhere

[coral vapor]

What about, If you press the button and NOT Drag, It shoot the way it is now.
But if drag, It will be wherever you want.
How about that?

[winter hearth]

It's what I suggested, do make something where you can shoot like now, but with possibility to shoot independent from VG position

[blazing heart]

Okay then you weren't 100% clear on that, but Shiny cleared it up, that should work nicely

[winter hearth]

Now we should just sum it up and write the full suggestion in one message

[ionic matrix]

But that's just the thing, Wichita is not a CL. She's a CA, and as I said above, was armored damn near as well as the Baltimore-class. She was certainly better armored than the Brooklyn's.

[blazing heart]

Alright the summary: Any additions?

Suggestion: Change volley aim
When you tap/hold the fire button the crosshair appears in front of vanguard just like now.
When you hold and then drag the fire button it becomes the crosshair, so you just drag it on top of the desired target.
Fire is as usual on release of the button.

Also the weird volley cooldown should be done away with.

[coral vapor]

Make a ticket suggestion via bot

[blazing heart]

Yeah I wanted to get some final feedback before that

[coral vapor]

👌

[winter hearth]

Suggestion to change the way to aim for BBs.

Now the aiming of BBs is depending on VG position, this is not always useful because you can let your VG die, so I can suggest to change the mechanic a bit:

At first, remove the Cooldown between shoots, and make it like by CVs, this will do playing with BBs much comfortable.

The second one, is to make the aim button of BBs to the type of joystick. When you tap and hold this, you start aiming with your VG, like it is now, but when you start to drag this, the aiming start to be independent from VG position and you can shoot with your BBs wherever you want.

[winter hearth]

Therefore I suggested to write here a sum of suggestion to know what will be sent to Belfast

[blazing heart]

Now we have 2 summaries
Maybe only one of us should submit the feedback to Belfast^^

Although yours is kinda different from mine, it's a joystick, that would kind of be a different solution from what I pieced together with Shiny's addition though it would also work

[winter hearth]

Than post yours if you mean the idea is better descripted there

[blazing heart]

@winter hearth I did? Lol
I don't really think one of our suggestions is better though since the difference is quite minimal

[fleet salmon]

First they'd have to fix that thing where sometimes holding one of the buttons makes the movement joystick stick to the right.

[winter hearth]

Than just post both and it will be choosen one of them

[blazing heart]

I mean that's just a result of them not accepting more than one "finger on screen" at the same time, which is stupid for a mobile game but idk if they're ever gonna change it. Both suggestions would still work, but you'd have to let go of the joystick for the vanguard which isn't optimal, I agree

[winter hearth]

I didn't see this Problem in AL and another games with 2 joysticks, maybe this is Smartphone depending

[blazing heart]

You mean to Belfast or here?

[fleet salmon]

This happens both on my phone and emu. Very rarely but still.

[winter hearth]

To Belfast

[blazing heart]

Huh? You can't tap 2 places at the same time on AL, the "cursor" gets a location at one of your fingers or sometimes even weirdly in the middle between the 2 for me.
Other games with 2 joysticks work just fine, just AL isn't coded for more than one input like that afaik

[winter hearth]

Than I just didn't notice this because I didn't notice the problems with that. Can it be sort of bug?

[fleet salmon]

Does it happen only during fights? Can you pinch to zoom in the dorm, for example?

Also you need 3 fingers to show the debug screen in al

[blazing heart]

Hmm yeah that is true, but if you look at the blue thingy marking your cursor it does weird things when you use more than one finger

[winter hearth]

Yes, that's what I mean, the cursor gets weird position,.but the tap is right

[fleet salmon]

I think it's just that the tap gfx can't happen in multiple places at once

[blazing heart]

But yeah you're right since you can zoom the game itself defo accepts more than one finger, so should be just battle screen that needs fixing there

[winter hearth]

Another way it would be impossible to aim with BBs because you need to tap with 2 fingers at the same time

[coral vapor]

I play on Nox and it also happen here too

[scenic flower]

Could you please refresh the mood numbers, when entering the dorm? Reloading the game just to see the actual ships mood kinda sux.

[coral vapor]

Hmm, I didn't have that problem though.

[blazing heart]

Isn't that more of a bug?

[scenic flower]

It wasn't like that until some patch a long ago. Still, it sometimes refreshes, but I don't know how to make it when I need it.

Also, would be nice to have the possibility to deselect all ships at the floor, so the 'Confirm' button was still accessible.

[coral vapor]

Oh, Yeah. That a thing...

It need to be at least one ship in any given dorm floor

[scenic flower]

Also, they could make the buttons like 'Clear the floor' and 'Fill the dorm with the lowest mood ships'.

Would help a lot to put the lectured ships in dorm fast.

[blazing heart]

So just like everywhere "recommend" and "clear"

[winter hearth]

We need clear button on fleet redaction screen

[pastel hazel]

Can We finally, after almost 4 years, get an option to hide CGs when using airstrikes or barrages? It's unbelievably annoying when I am manualing and can't even see where my ships are going. Please, I beg You.

[sinful cloud]

[blazing heart]

Please make muting specific shipgirls possible cough Sandy cough

[scenic flower]

and portland

[winter hearth]

Make annoying voice to mute this 📈

[pastel hazel]

Yukikaze 😎 🔫

[formal oyster]

Could we have some sort of "bank" for operation dispatches ?
Because again, that's a time zone issue, for me most of the dispatches are right in the middle of the night, so I'm missing on some rewards and on guild progress.
Being able to save up to 4/5 dispatches should remedy the problem.
Right now I'm missing on at least 3 dispatches a day. One at 3 am, 6 am and the daily reset at 9 am. That's... a lot.

[hasty mountain]

small change that seems to have flown under the radar but I am really thankful for
daily cat quest now completes on start of cat production instead of finish
thank you so so much for this

[cursive horizon]

Yes! I saw that last night and was very grateful cause I'd forgotten about them again and was worried they wouldn't finish in time. It's highly appreciated.

[blazing heart]

The heck happened to the cattery limit font though

[scenic flower]

[winter hearth]

Let us possible to move Chibi shipfus of our visitors in dorm

[sinful cloud]

Funny thing is that it was possible a few updates ago but went back to not being able to move

[plucky dagger]

Hey, would a buff to SHS mods be unbalenced? Massa is a little powercreeped by the champaine gun mods.

[plucky dagger]

I mean, unless you count Light armor mod... but its still not great lol.

Yeah, the Champ gun from PR3 has overall 10% better mods.

[golden cape]

Maybe certain gold gears should be buffed in general. It's a little silly that some purples are better than golds considering golds take more plates.

[plucky dagger]

No, I am saying the mods on Massas SHS are actually lower than mods on a French AP gun. And with how SHS is, it makes it bad at hitting stuff.

Basically her SHS is poor and the french champ gun is better.

Lol, but some golds are questionable... like the british triple 406... thats good except the ammo which is bad

[golden cape]

I know what you're saying and I agree but the thing I'm talking about is seperate from your topic.

[silver cliff]

I'd add that Wichita's armor thickness was actually more than twice as thick as Prinz Eugen's (6.4" compared to 3.1"). If Wichita has light armor, Eugen should have no armor at all.

[limber jolt]

Loading screen selector to choose the lewdest screens, I'm tired of getting the lame ones, good art tho but too many clothes on

[eternal bronze]

I remember that we had a feedback quiz about OP S months ago, and one of the questions were about the rewards and difficulty, so i will push this again. Why so many gears needs Components? Why Corrosion VI abyssal doens't guarantee UR plans? Why it doens't feel a challenge when its supposed to be a end game content? Why even have those locked supply boxes when it has only blue and purple loot? Zombie Siren skill does not make a boss hard, it turns them into bullet sponges, only prolonging the battle, hence why its so annoying.

[cursive horizon]

Feels pretty challenging to me fighting abyssals, and sometimes the strongholds if the Humanoid Sirens get cheap buffs.

[left fern]

Buff Prinz Eugen skills to buff her somehow, because her firepower costs too much for oil and do anything.

So give her retro, or another skill.

`So like 100% shield if biscko(first skill), then 10% RLD and Fp to bisco, plus 25% FP, AA to herself if biscko exists.

If alone give her 10% FP, and EVA?`

Or something to make her useful. Since most people do not have Roon/Room, and other ships.

[copper nest]

they don't take retro suggestions sadly, but
why require bismarck xd, that's just stupid imo

[sinful cloud]

Operation Rheinübung

[copper nest]

okay but that's limiting

[blazing heart]

Better than nothing right?

[copper nest]

but it could without any limitation, buff always not if paired with someone, pls

[slate monolith]

That reminds me of how Bismarck negates Tirpitz's skill since Tirpitz needs to be the only BB in the lineup. But Bismarck has the same skill to have it where Tirpitz doesn't even need that skill at all when you pair them

[void schooner]

Tirpitz's skill still kicks in if Bismarck sinks, so it's win-win for her.

[slate monolith]

It's basically the same skill setup anyways

[subtle perch]

i feel like the ironblood and EU have so many restrictions on their skills (i.e. essex and tiripitz) which kinda makes comps a bit harder to make without missing out on something. while other factions tend to not need very specific comps or have easy requirements for their ship skills.

[void schooner]

Harder if you're trying to be real creative with your setups, otherwise, not really.

[eternal bronze]

About Tirpitz limitations i feel that, theres not many fleet setups you can make with her.

would be cool if she receives some kind of buff

[void schooner]

Just stick her with Bismarck.

[velvet adder]

sirens that heal themselves are a fucking waste of time, what about having less of those?

[kindred vessel]

It honestly feels like the Zombie Sirens are way too common, tbh

[hearty crane]

Are they still a thing? Did 5 Abyssals and 3 Stringholds this month, no zombies. As they used to be very common it seems odd to me. Or just lucky?

[narrow sage]

Has anyone else seen the Yamshiro and I-19 loading screen in EN? Someone was suggesting it got left out.

[sinful cloud]

Unfortunately no, one of the ones I wanted to see too

[hearty crane]

Someone being me, and no... its supressed by the Tashkent selfie one.

[left fern]

1st operation Rheinübung.
Then being representant of Iron blood. She is everywhere, but bismarck is not.

And she needs dmg buff, otherwise she kills DPM, and only tanks dmg.
Go to #general if u want to discuss

[modest island]

Can y'all make it so that collect all can collect the weekly mission thing thats pinned to the top as well

Miss being able to just hit collect all and be done with it

[unborn folio]

Suruga's Event when?

[hearty crane]

It's already announced as the next rerun

[unborn folio]

Thx for the info!

[hearty crane]

Are you guys going to extend Call of Arms too... seeing how you always got 1 week extra to get them limit broken... but not this time (even if the shops and redeem morisson stays around a week more like always)?

[cursive horizon]

I like Pamiat well enough, but was this title screen really necessary?

At least it isn't a loading screen, so I only see it when I log in.

Wait a second.. are the weekly missions no longer showing up with the other finished missions?

[scenic flower]

That's why I hate Bache

[high pond]

I would gladly take Bache (in the same pose) instead of Pamiat in that title screen

[blazing heart]

Isn't Pamiat's anatomy kinda broken there too?

[cursive horizon]

Her back looks really contorted in order to do that "chest and butt" thing. That's honestly what bothers me the most.

[agile gazelle]

Why are we getting a rerun of an event with JNY themed skins deep in summer?

This rerun should go around new years time imo

Medley would be a better fit, skins are universal

[hearty crane]

What are you talking about?

[inner frost]

He's talking about the Swirling Cherry Blossoms rerun and how it shouldn't rerun until or around new years because of the skins

[agile gazelle]

*she

[hearty crane]

You want to wait 6 more months? Its been 18 already

[agile gazelle]

We waited for Shangri-la I think over two years, we can wait more

But whatever, I think I'll skip anyway because I'm empty and my dock space is dying because apparently EN doesn't need gems

I did all free gem missions I could, I no longer get gems from missions.

I can't buy gems with real money, because I don't have money.

[full wyvern]

if you cant buy gems why are you complaining about a rerun with skins you cant even get

[copper nest]

Maybe we'll get gems for anniversary, iirc last gems were also for anniversary :slight_smile:

Don't give up!

[hearty crane]

Weren't the last gems that red envelope event, which is some Chinese holiday? Anyway, Shimikaze or riot on Cherry.

[copper nest]

Ah ah right forgot about it :sweat_smile:
So last gems via mail then, somewhere around anniversary time

[agile gazelle]

I am complaining that we are basically making Christmas in July June in a way

Also CN/JP got gems and EN didnt so I drop my hopes of getting free gems

[sinful cloud]

Summer for some, Winter for others
Been waiting to get Noshiro for a while, not feeling like waiting more cause they arent swimsuits (which tbh they are meh skins most of the time)

[velvet adder]

Better ops Rewards for people that play casually that do only like the everyday stuff

[pastel hazel]

Can devs, please, release a H version of this game on Nutaku to make people finally stop complaining about how this game is not lewd enough so that we could finally start focusing on more serious problems this game has?

[hasty mountain]

So the weeklies have been changed into the new point system... While I did know it would be changed since I follow the jp twitter, as far as I can tell it was never mentioned in the en twitter (maybe it is the "daily quests have been optimized" from last patch notes). I think the twitter should post more system and feature information like jp does

[topaz otter]

Okay, whose bright idea was it to move one of the cube rewards to do 1 hardmode mission?

[eternal bronze]

like i said earlier

it just turns them into bullet sponges

nothing less nothing more

[topaz otter]

Previously I could click a bunch of times and instantenously complete daily raids, then cash in my cubes during a toilet break in work. Now I can't do that anymore.
Uninstalling

not everyone has time to play daily you fuks

[hearty crane]

Devs: Make system much more casual for casuals. Casual: System bad!

[topaz otter]

how is forcing me to keep the game open for longer more casual?

[obtuse breach]

"ow no, my extra 30s"

[topaz otter]

more like ten minutes with vibrating and sound going on

vs 2 minutes for daily raids, collecting, then going back to work

i got bills to pay man i can't afford to get fired

[obtuse breach]

then, dont play at work?

[topaz otter]

i didn't play before, i just collected daily raids and cubes and left
now i have to play which is the point i'm complaining

idk how you're not seeing that or something.

[pastel hazel]

How long does it take to do Hardmode? You can do 1-1 in 30s each, lol. Last few updates shorten the time You need to play this game daily to absolute minimum. When I really need to I tell my boss I need to go to toilet and after 5 minutes I am done with almost all stuff, lol.

[obtuse breach]

then why "play" if you dont like playing the game?

[topaz otter]

yes you are done
i don't have 5 minute toilet breaks, clients won't serve themselves
i play on weekends

i can guarantee you that after 12h hours of working i will 80% of the time just go to sleep instead of doing that one hardmode

idk what you are on about still

[full wyvern]

how is this the dev's fault, they cant cater to everyone, some people are going to get shafted no matter what

[topaz otter]

it was good before

[obtuse breach]

no offence, but if youre saying that you dont get a single break longer than 5mins in a 12h shift, you should probably contact human resources

[topaz otter]

why make changes that make things worse

[topaz otter]

they don't give a shit, i give a shit about having money to survive
america man

shithole but what you can do

quit and starve to death? i am pretty sure that's a terrific idea

not.

[topaz otter]

i am pretty sure at least a bunch of other people would agree that instantly completing daily raids then claiming cubes is much less of a hassle than running a stage, and whatever you need now to get the 3 daily cubes, so idk what you are on about
it's a change that made this strictly worse than before

[hearty crane]

So how did you fare before auto daily... which is fairly recent?

[full wyvern]

so you're saying you cant leave the game on auto play for hardmode? i find that hard to believe

[topaz otter]

no? i'm a waiter at a restaurant, it's hectic af in here

[topaz otter]

i didn't have a job back then 🤷

i guess that means i just quit if this isn't changing

my ocd can't bear with not getting that cube

[south sequoia]

@pastel hazel no need for any unnecessary comments, thanks

[topaz otter]

also kind of bad that the developers just leave this server shafted as usual

[south sequoia]

@obtuse breach includes unnecessary reactions as well.

[pastel hazel]

Ok, in that case, let me just wish You a good luck in Your life and Your job. I hope it gets better for You and We'll see eachother again.

[hearty crane]

I fail to see how 'we' get shafted if its a release for ALL their servers, released TODAY to all, which also fits in their ongoing plans to turn Azur Lane into an idler. Even if this apparently would shaft players, how is it EN specifically that suffers worse? Do you know Japanese work ethics?

[topaz otter]

tell me the last time some suggestion got implemented from this channel

the last one i can remember is that drama with some pr ship

but that was long ago

[south sequoia]

Catboxes counting to mission credit on training start, not training end. Implemented last update.

[topaz otter]

how long did that take from last suggestion

[south sequoia]

Autosearch in opsi was also suggested in here after it debuted in the regular stages.

So that was also fairly recent.

[topaz otter]

🤷 i guess i was wrong in this regard then, i lurk here mostly
anyway i said what i needed to say what i think about this dailies' "improvement"

[sinful cloud]

That was more of a bug that ppl werent sure how it was working in bug reports and Nozo was trying to help

Which nice change tbh

[topaz otter]

which it is not an all

[south sequoia]

Also we bring up art errors in here all the time that get fixed pretty quickly

[hearty crane]

I suggested adding blueprint use in gear lab in dec, that was added this patch. But even if we keep note, we dont know what CN or JP suggested, and what their "feedback to change" ratio is. Thus no way to compare 'shaftedness". Developing isn't just implementing everyone's ideas. That's not how this works, you cannot make a game like that. We can barely agree with each other here, we had a "too lewd" vs "not lewd enough" right before your suggestion.

[topaz otter]

how much energy and attention does it take to get a "no" from the developers

[south sequoia]

Fairly easy tbh

[topaz otter]

then why do we not get those

and we get radio silence in a lot of cases instead

[hearty crane]

Cause we probably want them to make their game instead?

[topaz otter]

that is very much shafting

the radio silence that is, to not get any weird ideas >.>

[south sequoia]

Uh, dunno what to tell you. We get "no"s all the time

Just that people tend to bring up the same suggestions again.

[topaz otter]

we as in the moderation or as in the community

because that is a huge difference

[south sequoia]

Community.

[topaz otter]

doesn't seem like it at all

[south sequoia]

Like I said, dunno what to tell you.

[topaz otter]

okay that's proof enough i suppose

[errant tusk]

Personally not a fan of the point system for the weeklies and how rewards can only be claimed successively. Previously you can claim whichever reward for resources as needed, and now you can't. Why take away that freedom from the players?

[topaz otter]

that's also one of my nitpicks but not as bad as the cube one

[crude pasture]

Add banners for ships being part of hardmode fleets, and anything else that might prevent ships being scrapped or used as LB fodder

[sinful cloud]

Feel like this is being an issue like in ARK
Ppl complained for years cause the devs barely or never directly talked to the players but since they put someone doing that, its been getting better due to having direct feedback
Not put someone to talk like everybody in here but having a clear message here and there would be nice without having to hope some feedback is implemented or why it cant/it's difficult to do/might be considered

[hearty crane]

Personally I would have them be selectable, then give the "Do you want to remove them from X" and if yes, remove them.

[crude pasture]

no reason there can't be both

[south sequoia]

I mean, main issue is that the actual staff aren't really english speakers, so they got some people in here to translate for them. That's the feedback crew.

But for some reason people don't see the feedback crew as yostar reps, even though they are.

[sinful cloud]

If they can do it one way, couldnt they do it back to en?

[south sequoia]

[frigid swan]

Might want to put things that keep coming up in the pins more as i think its safe to say a lot of us dont read intern-kuns twitter

[south sequoia]

What I'm trying to say is they're already doing it but players don't believe it

[sinful cloud]

If they're doing it, outside of what I see Nozo in bug reports after an update, it isnt really clear
Like Scipio said not everyone reads twitter, I get that english might be a problem but could at least try to put some feedback on bugs/features like JP on the official game account or an announcements channel

[frigid swan]

the only official response i remember making it to discord was the operation siren making impossible to get loot is not a bug im sure more are listed somewhere but its not a place that's common knowledge

[hearty crane]

Trello got a list of what Travis considers "not a bug". I dont think they really do much the feedback one, seen no responses on that.

[frigid swan]

they dont do that for game feedback though like they gave us the option to turn it on and off is here now so i think this one is never going to get done https://trello.com/c/ILRRLSts/1459-allow-for-repositioning-of-secretary-dialog-box

Allow for repositioning of secretary dialog box

Description: Currently, you can move the secretary ship artwork around and zoom in/out, but you can't do the same for the text box. Because of the posing of certain ship skins, it causes the text box to cover most of the skin or the most interesting parts of it. It would be nice to be able to reposition the text box for secretary lines so th...

[errant tusk]

Yeah, being able to claim resources as needed is extra valuable for a "casual" mobile game like al

Elaborating on my point, I'll give my own situation as an example. When there isn't an event going on, I'm usually not grinding and end up with excessive oil while being coin starved since there's always things to spend coins on, shop/research/etc. So during the week, being able to freely claim coins from weeklies is great. Oil from weeklies I like to save til end of week for dumping into ap before stronghold respawns for the following week. I would spend all my oil ap hunting cat paws and save the 400 ap refill for before reset, then pay for stronghold as it spawns to stay below ap cap. Having oil from weeklies available for that is great.

The point system kinda throws a wrench into how I play, needlessly imo

[cloud sable]

just an fyi if youre capped near oil softcap you can always just buy food in dorm

[cloud sable]

and not sure what you mean there, back with the old weekly system most of the gold and oil were in the same missions, you couldnt collect them seperately
there were a few exceptions where you only had gold in the reward, but they didnt account for more than a third of the gold from weeklies

[hearty crane]

That's what always annoys me with maintenance mails... all that useful coin hidden behind oil I find no use of... and I get accused of being a no-life in this channel. Casuals must be swimming in the stuff.

[crude pasture]

boops wasn't separating getting coins and cubes, but coins and oil

[crude pasture]

and then there's me, low on oil even outside events, and with no spare mail oil to claim ever

[errant tusk]

That's true, though for me managing oil cap is usually my problem and for those combined rewards the oil part is what drives my decision making most of the time.

[crude pasture]

mind you, my canteen hasn't stood still once in over a year

[cloud sable]

i mistyped, i meant most of the gold and oil were in the same missions

[crude pasture]

so I see people saying "low on oil, just claim some mail" and it's like "ah yes, should I also sell some of the spare real estate I definitely have while I'm at it?"

[south sequoia]

Kind of outside the scope of this channel.

[blazing heart]

I already forgot, can you claim multiple stages of the same mission at once?
Cuz if not I dislike that

[errant tusk]

The weekly coins are less of a concern, though is useful for when say a skill book pops up in shop that you wouldn't otherwise have the coins for

Low cost stuff like that

[shut harbor]

Personally not a fan of this new weekly missions rewards system

Don't fix what isn't broken

[velvet adder]

nobody really likes change but i think we should at least give it yknow a week

[inner frost]

Personally, I like new weekly system and know plenty of others who like it, I guess its just a very mixed bag on this

[vapid fractal]

is getting a million exp hard

[golden cape]

The new version of weekly missions is superior in everyway.

[vapid fractal]

cuz i just found out i need to do that to finish one of the stages

[inner frost]

#gameplay-help

[vapid fractal]

oh crap sorry

im blind

[velvet adder]

can we get a collect all button for this tab too? its kinda annoying to click claim on them all one by one

[modest island]

#collected-feedback

[blazing heart]

There is a collect all button, it just only pops up when there's more than one thing to claim at a given time

[modest island]

you can't hit claim on the weekly missions from the "all" tab, thats the issue

[velvet adder]

i dont think it collects all from that phase thing either u have to click that one manually (if its the only one left at least i havent seen if it works if u have the phase thing and another thing to collect) even though i had enough points to claim like 6 things in it

[modest island]

yeah anything listed as a "weekly" can't be claimed from "all" missions i believe

sure theres collect all for the weekly tab, but i gotta click on weekly first

and even then i gotta click on claim however many times as necessary for the big weekly

[blazing heart]

Well the post I was responding to just complained there wasn't a collect all button in the weekly tab, so I pointed out there was
Or in short: I was just being pedantic^^
I agree that some changing is needed though

[modest island]

its fine

[covert brook]

Not gonna lie, I came into this update expecting the weekly progression system to suck.
Turns out I was wrong, and I'm glad I was.
'Tis awesome, more like this please.

[modest island]

its better, but i will continue to advocate for weekly missions to appear on the "all" tab of missions

[covert brook]

Eh, it's just one tap to see'em, not a big deal.

[blazing heart]

It's one tap more, which makes quite a difference imo if you open it often
Also it's annoying if you finished one mission, but several stages of it and have to tap that again and again and again

[velvet adder]

Also for people who have been playing the game for a long time, nobody ever clicked on weeklies on the side, not gonna lie if they didnt have the ! on them i would have ignored them entirely and not even known that they changed them since im used to everything being in all

[hearty crane]

Except you cant pick your reward, and what to hold. Except for being able to quickly claim all. Except you need to collect like 50 things rather than 20 and then the rest is pointless. The only thing its 'superior' at is thats its supereasy to complete now, that's it. If that's your jam, sure, but that hardly makes it superior in EVERY way. It's very much a downgrade in my eyes.

[velvet adder]

Yeah maybe it would have been cooler if there were a store you could use the points in instead

[hallow tulip]

Only thing I'd like to see changed is that after you're done with the weekly (1000 points) you no longer get about completion, case and point I will get pinged about this one 4 more times when I'm already at 1170.

[golden cape]

Maybe devs should add mini rewards past 1000 points

[neat stump]

wish we could see the l2d animations in the ship details screen, and not only on the main screen and if she is a secretary

[blazing heart]

Probably yes, but if it was a shop that just offered the same rewards you get from collecting all mission rewards, having to buy all the stuff 1 by 1 would be kinda annoying as well

[cloud sable]

i mean they could just add a "buy all" for that

[hearty crane]

None if this would even be an issue if they kept the old system in the first place. :/ If some missions were "bad" they could just change them as they did the dailies :/

[golden cape]

Small issues that aren't even a big deal

Devs just need to take red mark away and bam problem fixed

[cloud sable]

IMO the new system is still better in general, its far easier to finish, and its not as if you cant wait until later in the week to collect everything at once

[modest island]

but having the exclamation is annoying :/

[sinful cloud]

Wont disagree that some things may need some tweaks but I actually like this system better, mainly because I dont have to wait 5 days to get everything (which missed them cause of 1 day sometimes)

[cloud sable]

thats fair, though tbh by now ive gotten used to ignoring them in this game

[velvet adder]

yeah the better rewards are at the start too so u reach them faster i like the new mode

[velvet adder]

Increase the amount of gold gear lab materials and get from doing operation siren come up with or other ways of acquiring those materials

[chrome kite]

whats a good comp for helena meta

[covert brook]

#gameplay-help

[ruby robin]

try #gameplay-help, this channel is more for suggestions in game

[ionic matrix]

It feels kinda clunky atm, but I suspect that's due to the newness of it.
We do get 3 more cubes per week though with this system

[chrome kite]

oh my bad haha

[jagged drift]

I'm sorry, but 5,000 coins and 5 hours for this? I honestly don't know why the rates are so much worse for PR2 and PR3 compared to PR1, but this is **really **bad.

[cursive horizon]

I've only ever gotten 2 rainbow researches ever, both of them were for Azuma, and neither of them gave me anything near worth it for the absurd rarity. I don't know if that's what you had, but I've spoken to a couple people who've had numerous rainbows and they all seemed to feel that PR2 rainbows are borked by comparison.

[jagged drift]

When PR2 came out, I noticed drop rates change significantly, but this is the first time a 5:00 ship specific research gave me something you'd get for a 1:30 or 2:30 research. And even then, that's still bad for 2:30. PR3 is the same way. Forces you to dump way more resources into research unless you're fine with throwing cubes at it.

[narrow sage]

I like the new system, helps me save a bit more time on some dailies and it's pretty flexible.
