[kindred vessel]

how does that even happen unless you put a pressure hull on her

[copper nest]

Damn it's not live yet but patch notes are enough
That oath ring 2.0 item should be reversable to normal ring since they both serve the same purpose, just one of them is weird collab deal thing. It's just bad trap for someone to lose ring (easily avoidable but you know it will happen)

[winter hearth]

Just do oath, not this friendzone

[kindred vessel]

they literally can't

[copper nest]

I don't care about collab, no idea what idolmaster is and I will keep it that way 🙂

But I just see bad design and it would be nice if it was improved for others or something, unless it's planned to "trap" some people, unless that collab deal is super weird that they literally don't have control over it xd

[naive cobalt]

It is exchanged when you try to oath collab characters, so it cannot be done "by accident"

[copper nest]

Oookay that's good then :+1:

kinda sucks for people who have interest in oathing collab characters but no rings/gems/money during event, but oh well

[blazing heart]

Hmm? I'd think it'll still convert when you try oathing them after the event

[copper nest]

👍

[hearty crane]

Same way the ring of meta is technically different from the normal oath ring.

[hasty mountain]

add profile link to meta showdown so I can quickly add people who do gud dmg :T

[topaz otter]

It does, literally every project that isn't cubes is now hot garbage

Neither did the projected CN changes affect longer research positively nor did they fix the fundamental issue of research being akin to playing a slot machine

Unless you are spamming cubes you literally can't keep up with how fast they keep spitting DRs out while also being able to pull the gacha. So much for being "f2p friendly"

Then there's another problem of burnout which could have been easily fixed if you would not have to login more than twice a day to remain at top notch efficiency levels but apparently the community isn't to appalled in that regard, perhaps they don't realise people actually want to have a life outside of Azur Lane...

And yes, I am very much talking about having to open up the game every single time your research finishes, with how many two and a half hour ones you do...

[raw quest]

the research is fine

[sinful cloud]

Of every old feature, research is the one definitely not fine

[topaz otter]

Yes it is indeed.
Not

[winter hearth]

Depending on PR researches are better now. I already have 15+ dev PR, how it's with DR idk, but already 39 BPs on one ship. The same I can see by mostly people in my guild, so I cannot say I'm just lucky

I mean, earlier at 2 weeks you got practically nothing

[astral mantle]

I'm 35bps away from dev20 anchorage, new research definitely feels like an upgrade for me, and a lot of others from what I've heard.

[raw quest]

pretty good innit

[winter hearth]

Now it's possible to have PR 30 dev after 1-2 month

[topaz otter]

Completely disagree, for reasons I already posted way back, especially when you want to max all PR instead of one

[sinful cloud]

Problem aint the amount of prints you get, that was fine before imo
The problem is the rng to get the research you want, specially now since no different prints from face researchs

[fluid grotto]

when they get bad result then it's considered a valid feedback, when i sent them a good result screen the response was to go to trophy room

[topaz otter]

Not going to repeat myself on that regard if they are going to stay put still

[winter hearth]

You max one and after 2 months you max the next

[raw quest]

[winter hearth]

The thing is, if you don't want to max every ship this is a huge improvement

[topaz otter]

And earlier you maxed all in three, maybe four months, at the same time. Which was fine

[fluid grotto]

that's kinda the point of the change tho, to make pr ships focused based progression

[winter hearth]

Earlier you needed 6+ month to max all PR, so the time for full wave is pretty same, but for only one ship it's faster now

[topaz otter]

Now you have to dump cubes to get any meaningful progress since Gs got so heavily nerfed they might as well be removed from the pool entirely, Qs are worse, and Ds don't appear as often as they did

I hardly see how this is an improvement.

[astral mantle]

D spawn rate wasn't changed, and G's didn't get nerfed though?

the only thing that changed was D results

[ornate basin]

friendly reminder, while we like discussions about feedback, this is getting nowhere and only flooding the chat, we do not need a pr discussion going on for multiple days, please sum up your feedback and carry on

[raw quest]

this topic again

[topaz otter]

G-531 and Q-0xx high roll got decreased which is a nerf

[fluid grotto]

it's improvement on gameplay side too where you can have specific maxed ship early instead of spread unusable ships.

[topaz otter]

It's not an improvement at all if I want equipment more than the ships

[sinful cloud]

Make the desired researchs not a pile of stacked rng to get so everyone can be happy, summed up

[fluid grotto]

then do Q

[topaz otter]

Previously I could go for the equipment and now I'm literally forced to pick Ds because Qs and Gs were made worse

[raw quest]

Q is the same though???

[topaz otter]

That's infringing on my freedom of playstyle which is bad

[fluid grotto]

Q just the same as usual tho

[astral mantle]

Q/G's literally weren't touched

[winter hearth]

So, to change the topic, I would suggest to add a new content, do you have some ideas? I can say that something like SOS missions but for solo bosses with PR gear BPs drop would be a good thing

[copper nest]

Add more emotes in-game 🙂

[raw quest]

if you have all at PR4 at dev30, their face research will no longer show up which means G/Q will show up more and you get the equipment you wanted so much

[sinful cloud]

Not new but if you're talking about SOS, make them drop subs instead of regular pools

[topaz otter]

While we're in the SOS topic, it's still a pain to farm and do even if you can pick your stages now

[sinful cloud]

Let me grind for the red cat, goddamit

[topaz otter]

That'd be amazing actually 🤔

[winter hearth]

No, not SOS improvement. A new missions with same mechanic to find them. But there is only solo boss

[topaz otter]

Sweep for hard mode while at it. It's a pain

[winter hearth]

I would compare that to Abbysal, but on normal maps

[hearty crane]

Actually if you have ALL maxed, all faces appear... it's in the ?

[fluid grotto]

for those who keep complaining really need to do some research about research
compare your result with others/friends/guildies, or at least check those data compiled on other server.

[raw quest]

[ornate basin]

come on guys

[topaz otter]

I already said what I needed to say plus please add sweep to hard mode

If cleared enough times

[ornate basin]

people are entitled to make their feedback, if you are only coming into this channel to downplay others suggestions or keep having a discussion that is providing actually nothing, please go somewhere else

[sinful cloud]

Done, problem seems the piles of rng thus my complain

[astral mantle]

why can they complain about research all day, but those of us like me who enjoy the new changes, can't defend it?

[fluid grotto]

yeah new change makes my life easier

i dont need to wait 6 months for maxed haku

[ornate basin]

you can defend it, but does it really need to spiral into a million comments and messages a day arguing and bickering back and forth? absolutely not

[topaz otter]

I don't get why those greasy nerds that sit at home ten hours a day think research as is, is fine
It's not for two reasons I already outlined

[hearty crane]

You guys constantly are though? Like "you cannot say it's worse until you do months of research! We do not have this burden, of course."

[ornate basin]

this time, I do not mean please move to another place, I mean do move to another place to continue having this discussion

[topaz otter]

It's a burden because you literally need to be free to keep picking up your phone to set the next research while at work, it's not an option for me, EVER

[winter hearth]

I think the game has huge problems with content we can play. I mean, we have op ships, we have 4 waves of strong PR ships, but the only interesting places to play with them is 2 time at month Guild Boss and 1 of 5 or 6 Abbysal bosses. And only with 6 corrosion. So I think the game needs some new content. And this should be targeting on late gamers.

[topaz otter]

It's a direct hindrance to progression

[fluid grotto]

ironic how wiki guy not the one using data for his ground

[hearty crane]

Chap 14 is coming

[ornate basin]

@fluid grotto you are particulasrly one of the people who need to stop making comments

[fluid grotto]

i have feedback tho

cheaper/alternative coins cost for research,thanks

[winter hearth]

If this will be ass pain where you can use only 10 ships and all another sucks I agree. This will be content for a lot of month fleet building and manual playing. But if this will be as hard as w13 now, than it's not the content for late gamers

[topaz otter]

I've already considered quitting and gave this game another chance after five failed events in a row, getting cleaned every time, and getting shat on by #gameplay-help, but I guess I was wrong in my decision when the community is this unsupportive of changes and feedback to the game

Maybe I should have spent the skin money on Hades instead.

More joy out of it without the toxic vibe from here

[winter hearth]

The problem is, when content for late gamers comes, newbie start to crie because they need to farm and it's too hard and and and. OS shows this pretty good. On the start this was really hard and you was supposed to have best fleets with best equipment. But now this is auto farm boring thing

[astral mantle]

hardest thing about w14 is going to be finding non level 120 fleets that can do it

unless they increase level cap at the same time

[fluid grotto]

not if it comes with lvl cap increase

[winter hearth]

So I see here a problem. Because as late gamer everything you can do is level 300 ships and do a lot of equipment to +13. There is no challenge

[astral mantle]

I've seen people saying they don't want a increased level cap (for some reason)

[fluid grotto]

they can always adjust the difficulty using opsi as base

[winter hearth]

A I don't want lvl cap increasing. Do ships stronger ob another way. New mechanics, like aerial support or new gear, or +15

But not the level cap increasing

[astral mantle]

can I ask why not though?

my biggest complaint with this game is that once I level 120 a ship, it's a "waste" to ever use them again really

[raw quest]

15K to level cap increase at least to lv125

no thanks

[hearty crane]

Fairly sure it was only hard the first week when adaptive tuning was broken. After that it's not hard (unless zombie)... only boring (after the initial clear per month).

Chap 14 this year... no level increase this year. The math is easy.

[winter hearth]

And with level cap increasing you get the ship to 125 and it will be

waste
to use them again. Therefore it's better to increase power of ships on another way. Luckily there is a lot of mechanics can allow that

[fluid grotto]

lvl actually for the most part is the only thing that can increase the difficulty since the lvl bonus dmg/reduction is huge in this game.
increasing enhancement lvl is the thing that would make this game boring/no challenge as you said

[astral mantle]

Give me more opsi fleets so I can actually use my 120 ships please

[hearty crane]

cough Using 120 in OPSI is a waste too except for maybe 1 fleet for zombie cough Or to get more damage in assists I suppose, seeing you need those in the OPS map 😦

[fluid grotto]

more like adding more fleet to utilize cross buff

[winter hearth]

Before there was really good suggestion for new mechanic of aerial support. I think this is really good, because you can increase difficulty without increasing lvl cap of our ships. So, it will solve 2 problems. This will give some interesting content and also this will allow to do stages harder and interesting

[copper nest]

@winter hearth there are also central zones in opsi coming (but who knows when) 😮

[sinful cloud]

If Opsi was supposed to be the most end game at the time then why so many low corrosion areas, they're the part that makes it boring
Could have put more C4-6 zones instead of tiny segments of lower

[copper nest]

Aren't some central zones c7?

[sinful cloud]

Cant access those so idk

[copper nest]

They should hurry up

[fluid grotto]

low lvl corrosion so lower commander can also do them?

[winter hearth]

OS is just too boring. Even C6 are boring. Only Abbysal is interesting. But nobody will do something like Abbysal in every location

[sinful cloud]

But like, they could have divided it much better with zones of actual rewards

[fluid grotto]

all rewards are from abyssal/stronghold anyway tho

well. most reward*

[winter hearth]

But this was sold us as late game content, so low lvl commanders theoretically shouldn't be able to do something there

[sinful cloud]

Was suppose to be end game wasnt it? Dont see anyone going to w12-13 with your first made fleet

Already locked behind lvl 60 either way

[fluid grotto]

the normal map is mid game actually since it's accessable from comm lvl 60(?) i believe, what meant for end game was abyssal/stronghold

[winter hearth]

OS is mid game

[fluid grotto]

they allow lower commander to explore probably to create this "open world" vibe as they said during test server

[copper nest]

late game is healing siren with damage reduction on c6 abyssal

[winter hearth]

Late game content in AL doesn't exist

[fluid grotto]

welp can steamroll everything pretty much with maxed fleet, so yeah

[winter hearth]

Only late game content in AL is to have maximal Tech Lab bonuses

[fluid grotto]

the only reason to get this pr5 ships is just to clear the content faster

[copper nest]

idk perhaps it's not that type of game to have ultra hardcore content, that's impression i'm getting

[sinful cloud]

Pr5

[winter hearth]

But what is the sense to have maximal Tech Lab bonuses if there is no place where you need that?

[fluid grotto]

pr4*?

[copper nest]

sense of pride and accomplishment

[sinful cloud]

Havent even cleared pr2 and already going a year ahead

[fluid grotto]

at the end of the day it's a waifu collection game, theres nothing really challenging

[astral mantle]

if you add harder content people are gonna come to this channel and complain already seen people complaining that melena too hard. everyone just wants to be able to auto all content

[winter hearth]

AL needs some new content. And this should be late content. Late content where you need your full Tech Lab bonuses and where you need full +13 fleets

[hearty crane]

I would not be surprised if W14 is absolute bullshit and they powercreep to hell to make it less BSery.

[winter hearth]

That's the problem. When you play 2+ years you just have nothing to do. So you should to make challenges by yourself. I don't think this is really good for the game

[naive cobalt]

This is just #al-general discussion at this point

[sinful cloud]

Melena is not too hard, her lasers are just bugged
Same difficulty if not easier as the other 2

[fluid grotto]

people alr did tho with corrosion 6 heal buff

[naive cobalt]

If you have specific feedback you want to give - please do so, otherwise move to other channels

[winter hearth]

I have specific feedback. Add new challenge mode, where every boss will be like EX boss

[hasty mountain]

fix helena laser bug so I can get even more dmg from auto

[hearty crane]

It really helps Melena applies the 25% extra damage taken debuff on herself. It doesn't help her lasers defy time.

[cursive horizon]

Never really gave it much thought until recently, but why do most Chapter stages not allow submarines? Looking through the game, Chapters 3-7 only allow them on X-4.

[short flume]

Not being in worlds 1 and 2 is explained by subs only being introduced in W3, but only x-4 until w8 and 9, with x-4 and x-3, until w10, with x-4, 3, and 2, and w11, 12 and 13 with all chapters doesn't make sense

[cursive horizon]

Yeah, I totally get why they're not in 1 or 2, but after realizing the rest have limitations, especially given they all have SOS missions, it seems an odd choice.

[short flume]

The only guess I have is that the devs decided that, based off the difficultly of the chapters, subs weren't needed

[jolly jacinth]

Could possibly be related to irl lore? If there were no submarine participants in the battle this map zone is portraying then maybe that’s why they’re not there

[short flume]

That could also be the reason since IIRC, if subs weren't being used for cargo raiding they were used as scouts, when not being used as a combat unit, so subs being at x-4 of world would mean that fleet finally caught up with the sub fleet.

[verbal marsh]

I think that cleared OS maps should have number of mobs equal to corrosion level.

[uncut bobcat]

convert skill book to prot core

[modest island]

@celest abyss scammer guy
might have posted in multiple channels

[south sequoia]

Banned.

[modest island]

[undone swift]

BGM changer on Main screen

[kindred vessel]

Reenable new installs of the game on ARM Apple devices, it works perfectly fine on M1 Macs shouldn’t have been disabled to begin with

[cursive horizon]

Oh, a menu music changing option would be nice. It's just a shame the music changes depending on the screen you're on, so unless you just idle at the secretary screen it's gonna keep changing.

[kindred vessel]

Oh shit I like that idea

[honest ginkgo]

I have wanted that particularly for Azur Lane Crosswave OSTs for a while; just haven't requested it

[winter hearth]

What about to do enter to the safe zones of OS free, but lethal zones, Abbysal etc will be a bit more expensive. So that means, if you have time you can freely farm boring save zones, and to spend your AP you need to do some "interesting" activities. So that means, that you can add more Abbysal etc people have per month to allow people spend their AP

[jolly jacinth]

A lot of people farm that one bottoms left corner map for meta coordinates though (Atleast that’s what I’ve been told is best), and making it entirely free may break balance

[gray patrol]

Yeah especially cat nodes can drop UR gearlab design as well

[jolly jacinth]

There’s a lot to gain from doing seemingly random opsi maps

[raw quest]

akashi can you give infinite AP boxes

[hearty crane]

Why do we need to remove AP costs? Aren't we all having like 6000AP to burn? Don't we want to spend MORE of that stuff, not less. We really need more ways to burn AP.

[jolly jacinth]

I’m hoarding all my ap boxes even though I literally do bare minimum farming for meta points

They’re like elixirs to me. I’ll hoard them until the final boss and then still never use them

[kindred vessel]

even if strongholds cost 800 AP each I'd still have like 6k AP at the end of each month

[sinful cloud]

Maybe dont put so many in the shops and replace them with actual useful items to reduce the problem

[fierce sonnet]

300 AP strongholds but 3x the rewards

[hearty crane]

I think the issue is more Akashi's appearance... 20AP to appear, 300AP sold, is quite the anti-AP burn (not to mention very low AP cost zones often drop minor AP packs too)

[kindred vessel]

have her sell stuff besides AP boxes and tokens it's not like anybody buys the repair kits anyway

[scenic flower]

I'm perfectly fine with present AP system.

[shut harbor]

While all the previous OS months have been overloaded with AP, this month I've actually been low on AP boxes. Usually rushing to safe mode all zones I would have obtained a ton of surplus AP boxes but for whatever reason this month I haven't gotten that many. Although it may be due to farming 40 AP zones to level up Helena Meta's skills, I haven't done it that often. Either way, when you need AP, especially in the beginning, it's a bad cost to use oil to recover it, but yes near to the end of the month you end up with quite a bit of surplus AP. It'd be nice to have a use for it other than mindlessly burning it on random zones.

[hearty crane]

[fierce sonnet]

sooo more expensive strongholds but with better rewards

[kindred vessel]

if strongholds cost 1000 AP I might actually run out of AP

[crude pasture]

I suspect in other months you have spent time farming event stages rather than OpSi stages, and thus had more AP built up naturally in the other months?

[shut harbor]

That could likely be why, but it feels like the first time I've been low

[cursive horizon]

I'd rather have something and not need it, than need it and not have it, so in that regard I think the current AP system works fine. If you wanna blow loads of AP then just spam the boxes and give it a few days.. don't they turn into tokens after a while? If there's not enough items to buy for the tokens, add more. Don't swap the stuff in there for other things instead, it'll only hurt the players that use/need/want those weaker items.

[scenic flower]

[sinful cloud]

It doesnt really bother me tbh, as long as the rest is the same boring grind each month Im not interested in the mode

[shut harbor]

I agree with having AP when we need it, and leaving AP boxes in Akashi's shop and port shops is fine. The issue is what to do with all the excess AP when the month is over. Also, using all your AP boxes is pointless since anything over 200 means you don't regenerate anything anymore. I forgot whether or not that extra AP is turned into vouchers for the exchange shop but that doesn't matter anyway since it's so easy to obtain more than the buyout price of each reset. Leaving the AP boxes alone for sure does turn into vouchers though.

All we need is some kind of use for all the AP boxes we have lying around near the end of each month. It just sucks currently with all the wasted AP every month if you don't use it all to farm just to get barely any loot, and then you get leftover vouchers every month which just builds up more and more and more. Something like more coins, oil (or oil packs), cubes, T4-5 gear parts, gear lab materials, more x2 plans, cat boxes, etc. could be added to the voucher exchange shop. It could be as simple as adding all of these with an uncapped limit to that shop and it'd instantly be better.

[raw quest]

you could still farm a map and the coins you get turn to vouchers

[sinful cloud]

Leaving the ap boxes alone for sure does turn into vouchers
What?

[raw quest]

ap boxes doesn't turn to vouchers lol

[shut harbor]

Now I'm not sure since I can't check with the game down for maintenance. But it doesn't make sense to me that over cap AP turns into vouchers but the actual leftover AP boxes don't?

[raw quest]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Operation_Siren#Materials

[shut harbor]

Nevermind then, based my info off of the guy above me who had it wrong too

Just brings even more reason as to why AP needs more uses, at the very least get converted into vouchers

[hearty crane]

Yeah, there should be more to do with AP at the end of the month than just rinse over corrossion 6 at pitiful cost at a time, especially when this isn't even properly supported ingame by having something like a reset zone button to occomodate, you need to travel elsewhere and back, or cycle corr 6 zones and other stuff making it far less intuitive than it has to be even to auto. And I still want to have cats seperated from auto, since launching a cor6 and needing to manually control my catfleet to 2 zones and only THEN being able to auto also gets tiresome very quickly 😦

[cursive horizon]

What I was referring to.. is that if you have AP over the 200 mark, it eventually turns into tokens. I've had it happen to me a couple of times when I accidentally used several AP boxes and then didn't use it all for a few days. Unless that's changed recently.

[hearty crane]

It doesn't. It simply sets itself to 200 at the reset, no refunds, no perks. (Or do you not mean reset but using your AP boxes midevent?)

[cursive horizon]

Yeah, not talking about Reset. Just within the middle of the month.

[crude pasture]

just make your catfleet the one you auto with

[crude pasture]

yeah, uh, it still sounds like you have someone else playing on your account

[sinful cloud]

[hearty crane]

So I need to put my BB cats on my CV fleet not to suffer from auto. Sounds logical.

[crude pasture]

or have a BB fleet that has sustain

so, like, run monarch and gascan

and Belorussiya, there ya go, three BBs that stay alive indefinitely, assuming they don't get chunked for large percentage of their HP every fight

or just run two BB and Percy

[hearty crane]

Okay, and how does your fleet farm for Ägir? So how about instead building fleets around cats... we can just tweak auto to be more useful?

[dawn stirrup]

scam, please fix and send apologems or let us have 25 tenrai prints

[raw quest]

#tech-support

[sly cargo]

what scam, that pack was never supposed to have tenrai prints i suggest u read first what it has

[raw quest]

it's just put in there by mistake

[velvet adder]

I know u dont take feedback on skins but the doa collab had one of the best collections of skins the game has ever had since we got it if you could look towards emulating the high standards of skins from the doa collab that would be really cool (the lingerie one of misaki is a real stunner )

just wanted to post my feedback on the high quality of skins from doa

[sinful cloud]

Love the new little comics

[hasty mountain]

Last night I had a very vivid dream that manjuu finally learned how to properly loop soundtracks in the game
Alas, I woke up and it remains but a dream

[eternal bronze]

Idol Master collab skins are just dissapointing it feels like new years 2.0 ngl

they even added AL original characters on it cuz they knew this event could flop

for me this collab just feels like a cashgrab or something, theres no innovation on it i only see limitations, the DoA was bad? Yes it was but at least it felt connected to AL world.

[velvet adder]

I think its very much a jp collab, aimed almost entirely at jp market (they are the biggest market so i can see why)

[eternal bronze]

then they can't blame us if their revenue is shit here

reminder that the new Italian event which had Veneto EN/JP revenue prices were almost paired up

so yeah we might not spend as much as JP but we are very important still

[copper nest]

they're seriously running away instead of just exploding (collab characters in event stages, not even bosses which happened in many events but regular mobs)

[blazing heart]

Yeah they're called Holograms, could've just made them flicker away or something
But hey, at least they don't take forever to disappear anymore

[copper nest]

yeah it's slightly less annoying

but it's wack they're still shooting when running away

[inner frost]

If we are forcefully going to replace the main screen music, then at least let use chose what we want to listen to, gonna be another 2 weeks without any music

[copper nest]

lmao same, +1 to that one, maybe send feedback through bot

[sinful cloud]

They did the same as DoA?
Havent turned it on yet

[copper nest]

I wonder how it works with EX, imagine dying and losing when enemy is running away with 0hp

[undone swift]

Let us kill the idol girls lmao

[sinful cloud]

Not as bad but still give me the default

[void stratus]

Why just why ?!
It's 2021 Yostar -.-

Remake skills and fix this monstrosity ffs

[velvet adder]

i agree the game should be made better for different resolutions and not just 16:9 1080

[void stratus]

I don't get why they're still in 2017

[velvet adder]

more and more flagship phones (for like the past few years at least) have been more widescreen and 1440p as default

[void stratus]

Like wtf they even thinking
Ohh yeah it's an emulator game

[velvet adder]

[void stratus]

No!?

[kindred vessel]

[void stratus]

Ohh yeah it's a mobile game riiiight

Even 200$ phones have wide screen nowadays
But AL nop we don't care about "mobile" devices.

Their UI management lead is probably 60-70 yo

[naive cobalt]

If you wish to give feedback - do so in less hostile manner.
Thank you.

[void stratus]

Ok

[velvet adder]

The worst problem with that bar is that it isn't even just an aesthetic issue. the cross hair goes behind it instead of pushing it as if it were the boundary. As a result playing in a device with an aspect ratio wider than 16:9 will become more difficult than otherwise, the Crosshair and enemies will be "hidden" in some circumstances at which it never happens in a device running at 16:9 aspect ratio

[void stratus]

This is not the first or the last mobile game out there.
I'm pretty sure if the respected developers wanna change that they could easily do that.

[past ridge]

Can we have the option to turn off the collab ost while in the main menu?

[blazing heart]

Isn't the normal main menu music annoying after like 7 seconds too?

[scenic flower]

I turned off the music a long ago, coz there are no good background tracks in AL

[sinful cloud]

I like it better than this tbh

[void stratus]

Please don't start this topic about the opening song that changes every 15 days xD

[past ridge]

Lol

[sinful cloud]

It only changes on collabs tho

[void stratus]

You probably hear it for 1 or 2 seconds what's the issue lol ?

I'm talkin for something serious and you guys bang this channel for 1-2 seconds 🤣

[sinful cloud]

[void stratus]

Look at this how you guys don't complain about the 30% of the screen goin wasted in the 90% of the gameplay ?

[blazing heart]

Did you set your UI settings to the max?

[obtuse breach]

most of the time no one here looks at the game, we click once every 5 mins and then go do something else

[void stratus]

Do you even play the game on a mobile device?

[blazing heart]

Yes I do

[void stratus]

So basically if you max out the UI you won't see those things. Is that what you saying?

[blazing heart]

Depends on the aspect ratio of your screen, it'll mitigate it
Also if you just wanna tell me I'm wrong you could've simply said yes

[void stratus]

Sorry buddy you have no idea what you talking about

Let me show you

But it's still there

[blazing heart]

I don't have that black thing
I'll gladly admit that they grey things are useless tho

[raw quest]

not that big of a deal

[void stratus]

Of course losing like 30% of the screen isnt a big deal in a game that you freaking love

I see your point i should just play on emulator

[raw quest]

calm down

[void stratus]

Is that all ?

[raw quest]

here submit it to @agile otter

[void stratus]

Twice already

[raw quest]

[void stratus]

Bye

[winter hearth]

Let us kill Idols. This event should have at least something good

[eternal bronze]

i will gladly kill them by scrapping them

[plucky owl]

auto search
have the moving ship pick up mystery items and make a full clear mode for ship farms

[primal valve]

yes

always has been

[winter hearth]

Please let Idols die or disappear, because immortal Idol stops full Nagato barrage and farming becomes really long

And also BBs trigger their shoots on "death" Idol, so you lose 1-2 bases, which does farming more longer and also annoying

[crude pasture]

or at least have them become intangible perhaps

[topaz otter]

The elites persisting for two or three seconds after bringing them to zero health is incredibly annoying, especially when your BB of choice is firing. It drags clears to be too long. It doesn't let you save yourself in the nick of time when the freaking CV elites are rushing 🅱️ackliners and your only hope is to nuke it before you get nuked. The Level 80 map certainly doesn't feel like it's made for Level 80.

Why are you making this game so annoying on purpose? This isn't the first time something like this happened.

Also the fact I can't give the new girls my personalised nicknames is such a putoff to top it off.

[rain jasper]

let's say the music for this event (at least for the 1st 3 stages...) is not as good as i'm used to from Azur Lane lol

literally just brrrrrrrrtttttt

[topaz otter]

Shit, I knew I forgot to complain about something. Thanks @rain jasper

[narrow sage]

I'm surprised such complaints are just not "gracing" this channel.

[acoustic helm]

Not sure if it this is the right place to put it but, Really love the new comic section that got added. Seeing Slice-of-life moments of ship-girls is really nice. Please continue to add more in the future

[rain jasper]

^

always have fun when games do that with their characters 😄

[narrow sage]

Not the first time in general, though it is the first time in game.

[hearty crane]

Music is pretty personal. Some people liked the Northern's second event second stage techno music, I did not. Lots of hate on DoA's OST too.
We can all agree the Northern's original run soundtrack was banger though, right?

[topaz otter]

I can't agree or disagree, I wasn't playing back then

[crude pasture]

seconding the comics being a great addition

[acoustic helm]

[hearty crane]

We once again have missions that can drop 4 items. UI can still only manage up to 3 items though...

[copper nest]

Oh my god really please change this running away stuff, next wave of enemies could eat torps/bombs/barrage/everything but it's all wasted and only wastes time, not by a lot but it accumulates through all battles, for the entire duration of event 😠

[topaz otter]

Also messes up spawnkilling waves of enemies for speeding up clear time

With BB salvos. Incredibly annoying

[sinful cloud]

Having Nagato waste 2 barrages in one fight... yeah pls change it

[raw quest]

just make them disappear since they are hologram anyway

[cursive horizon]

That Meet 'n Greet minigame feels awful. Normally these "select 3" minigames only have one person at a time, but now we're expected to do three at a time?! It feels like 15 seconds pass just trying to identify what people want and where they are on the tables since it's all so tiny on my screen.

[cursive horizon]

Oh, and wanna bring up (again) that the Ticket Rental ❗ should really go away once you've looked. I don't even have the ships whose outfits are for rent. At least when I check the Shop the "New Outfits Available" text goes away, pity the other doesn't.

[crimson hornet]

What a great idea to not let the EX score register the moment the "idol" gets invulnerability (or however it is coded) due to taking damage that would kill her.
Pretty neat, I'd say

[sinful cloud]

Ok so SP4 has the Nepgun for gold bp drop, NJ had the rudder
Great that were getting other ways of getting them but now unlike NJ's, it wont rerun (thank fuck for this one) so will we get another event with the Nepgun as drop or we'll never see it again?

[fierce sonnet]

yeah this invuln and backing up of the elite and humanoid ships is really stupid it wastes barrage times and battleships still treat those as priority and fire into the abyss, on top of that the "dead" ships can still shoot and launch planes come on i alr sank them

[copper nest]

Lmao called it, bad design, it's also not like they can't die because licensing or something because they have normal death animations when they're as playable ships xd

[crimson hornet]

its pretty annoying to say the least when you're actually trying for a decent score. failed multiple times literally just because of this "feature"

[jovial sandal]

Would be good if there's an option to turn on/off event bgm in the settings if people like the bgm, they can turn it on, but if they don't like it, they can just turn it off and have the original AL bgm playing in the background.

[cursive horizon]

Even if you like the music, it keeps changing from the dorm to the menu to the cattery. I understand having the badass music for the Mode Selection, but I wish it’d stop swapping around elsewhere.

[hasty mountain]

I find it kinda weird that they went out of their way to 'replace' oath for the idolmaster girls, but special touch is fair game
I guess you're allowed to molest idols, it's only marriage that is NG

[cursive horizon]

Sounds true to life given what I’ve read about idols, unfortunately. Still surprised they went through, though, given how take everything else has refreshingly been.

[hidden bear]

Not really sure why the iM@s holograms are leaving battle at 1 HP, since... y'know... they're Holograms and not the actual members.

Why even hold the event if they're this protective of the image of the characters? It's a warfare game. People are supposed to get hurt.

[narrow sage]

really big deal in japan, badge of honor or such.

[formal orchid]

It can be for legal reasons, in Saints Row 3, for example, Burt Reynolds (an american actor) was a character for one of the side quests. Originally, the quest was supposed to show Reynolds dying, however, while 2K aquired the rights to use his likeness, they didn't have complete free will over what they could do with the character, this is likely a similar scenario, they can't legally allow you to kill the character, even if it's made up and it's a hologram.
And besides, if you're THIS concerned over not being able to kill an imaginary character, you have some issues.

[fierce sonnet]

well the issue is that it has a big impact on the gameplay

[formal orchid]

what's the impact? They retreat when they get to 1 hp, don't they?

it's not much different from playing a KO animation and explosion effect

the difference is only contextual

[hasty mountain]

it has been explained multiple times in this channel already

[fierce sonnet]

literally messages above explained what it does

[formal orchid]

pretty sure the event is not hard enough for skewed barrage timings to have as big of an impact as it's being made out to be here

[fierce sonnet]

what about ex mode? bb targeting priority? thats not the only issue and the difficulty of the content doesnt invalidate it

[formal orchid]

the EX complaint is valid

wait no

the complaint seems to be "EX score doesn't register when idol gets invulnerability"

that's an invalid complaint, of course you wouldn't get more score if she goes invulnerable at 1 hp, 1 hp is the equivalent of death in this case

[fierce sonnet]

she procs invuln because you did enough to sink her

[limber jolt]

Bruh you make no sense, then how are we able to get them and use them, with their own sinking animation or are you gonna tell me they don't die and leave the battle on our side as well?

[fresh bear]

I'm just curious about AL event who's still not in EN yet (Like Utawarerumono Collab), are we gonna have it too later?

[ornate basin]

[fresh bear]

Idk if this feedback, but I think our player waiting for it too

[ornate basin]

we just listen to feedback, we cant answer questions like so

[fresh bear]

Thanks

[undone swift]

Raise the chances to do Sub weekly mission.
Or just turn it into one of the dailies

[primal valve]

sub underrated

[wide pumice]

I'm not sure if this question will go here.
yuugure, z2 and arashio skins are limited to this collaboration or are they common and come back on black friday and christmas?

[primal valve]

twitter post said its limited

[uncut bobcat]

auto battle on sp

[primal valve]

what

[raw quest]

he wants auto search on VSP
submit it to @agile otter
i don't care about it myself

[primal valve]

[sinful cloud]

Unless its for an archive, they all say its limited for the event time

[agile quartz]

I just want to say
The current, on going event is an absolutely miserable experience
And I hope anyone who though it was a good idea thinks long and hard about their life choices

[primal valve]

if u hate something just stop bragging about it

like a kid

its not like theres no other stages to play

[ornate basin]

do you have any feedback to provide? @primal valve

@agile quartz please be more specific about what you do not enjoy and what could be better, if you may

[primal valve]

no

for now

[merry grove]

This is really ridiculous that 7 out of 7 times I get 3 DR bp from 8hr DR researches, either increase the minimum amount of bp you get from an 8hr DR researches to match the time and coins invested or increase the % of getting more than 3 bp!

DR face research definitely feels like a scam right now... Other than the super rare rainbow researches

[crimson hornet]

If I may ask, what is it that you don't understand about what I wrote? For reference, have you even tried EX runs before or have an idea how EX scoring works? Because I fail to understand why you think it's an "invalid complaint". I didn't say that it's impossible to complete EX; I just said that it will adversely affect your runs (scoring vs time is not linear, your lvl1 vanguard might sink in the few extra seconds she takes to back out, etc), which shouldn't be the case in the first place anyway.

[hearty crane]

It affects everyone though, so the playing field is still equal.

[fierce sonnet]

[crimson hornet]

And so is the playing field for PR research to some extent. It still does not stop #game-feedback from bickering on about it 24/7.
I only want to know how my point was "invalid", nothing more.

[undone swift]

Not gonna rant like everyone else.

Just hope that for the next collaboration event,
It would be better that introduce interesting new mechanics on a stage or boss.
Not to mention the story,hope the plot wouldn't be repetitive kind.
The gear skins should be unique.
More stages is always welcomed.
Would love a new achievement system for collaboration instead of the usual points accumulation thing.

[fluid grotto]

opinion only valid when it concerns them , not many players investing their time in EX fight so it doesn't seem to be a big of a deal.
but for ranking placement i gotta agree with wiki guy, since it's equal playground for everyone so i'd just take it as harder/rise of difficulty.

[sinful cloud]

Considering the bug I reported yesterday, I have to go with Jarfield
Worst mechanic so far, the collab already wasnt interesting imo but dont even want to grind cause feel that ill need to use more oil than needed just for it to not happen again

[fluid grotto]

yeah pretty lackluster event, nothing to farm from the event maps either, i mean the prize there is nepgun, a pr1 gear that not even good at this point , also the last event map is relatively low lvl means less exp for ships and commander, can't find myself grinding there.
tbh, i can see why they made this collab event newby friendly,probably so idmas fanbase whom trying the game could also enjoy it, but at least make it interesting for the older players too.

[formal orchid]

@crimson hornet i never said that you said EX is "impossible to complete", i have no idea were you got that one from. As for the time she takes to retreat being affecting EX score and you're worried about the competitive aspect of the mode (LMAO), it's not ONLY affecting you, everybody is affected by the retreat mechanic equally.
As for your ship managing to die in that 1-2 seconds in takes for them to retreat, level up more? you can run EX mode only once per day anyway, so there is NO reason to use a budget fleet

[fluid grotto]

i think you mistaken EX with SP there

[formal orchid]

oh shit you're right ye ignore that last part LMAO

i stand by the first part tho, and you said it already rumi, since everybody is affected, it's best considered a difficulty increase

[fierce sonnet]

do you even understand how ex works? a big part of the strategy is to not use leveled ships. and if youre downplaying the issue because you dont care for the competitiveness of it youre just stating a non argument

[crimson hornet]

I'm sorry but you clearly don't understand how EX works, no offence ofc.

And did you really just give the "competitive aspect of the mode (LMAO)"-in-AL argument as a response to people who go for leader boards? If that is your look on the game, then I don't understand why you even felt the need to comment on my original message.

I am not concerned with the increase in difficulty. There have been EX maps ten times (hyperbolic comparison but yeah...) harder than this one before. What I find annoying is just the duration of time that the leader board players are penalized for (completely out of our control might I add) for absolutely no reason. I did mention that EX scoring was not linearly related to a run's time, correct? Then it should be obvious that time is of crucial importance. But I guess most people won't understand unless they actually try it themselves.

[winter hearth]

ЕХ is too easy. Make it harder. I got it after 5 tries

And where are my 500 cognitive chips?

[primal valve]

Those weapon skin boxes

I think its better to make them item that goes into Depot instead of getting the weapon skin after finished every sortie

bcs its fun opening them all at once like opening equipment boxes

[undone swift]

Ah yes,competitive spirit in azur lane

[hearty crane]

EX exists for epeen. Asking for it to be easier, than to boast your abilities better facing troubles seem counterproductive.

[copper nest]

If extended time due to retreating animation at EX can vary and is not the same every time then yeah I can totally understand it, but if it's the same duration every time it's equal for everyone, annoying yeah, but equally annoying to everyone

[fluid grotto]

read harder, i'm agreeing with you on that part

[undone swift]

[sonic jackal]

limiting players to 2 guild operations a month is pointless and stupid. I don't even think I need to explain why, it's just dumb and there's no valid reason for the limit

[edgy rock]

On a quick backread, I didn't see this asked, so hopefully this channel is fine. Does anyone know if the skins for Z2, Yuugure, and Arashio could rerun in the future? They're not collab ships, but the skins were added during one. And since it's fair to assume collabs will never rerun, would this apply to those skins too?

[sinful cloud]

Asked that 2 days ago here, still wondering about it

Would be nice if they could give an answer

[edgy rock]

Hopefully someone can confirm then.

[copper nest]

Why would they, it puts pressure on you to get them now
I don't know exact names but some people responsible for this game could answer that question on their twitter

[eternal bronze]

not only that

but its really out of place to have AL shipgirls skins on a collab

[sinful cloud]

At least it aint like Sara with the Kizuna outfit, that one we know that wont come back

[fluid grotto]

it's to wall tryhards from progressing way much faster than casuals

[sonic jackal]

"progressing"

like it even offers that much

[kindred vessel]

9 T4 plates per week, averaged.

[fluid grotto]

if they could push 2x more operations a month that's extra 36 t4 plates and shit ton of guild token

[kindred vessel]

without the limit even my super casual guild would easily do 3 Ops per month, and a guild full of tryhards would probably be able to do 4+

[blazing heart]

Idk if more than 4 is even possible tbh

Another option aside from increasing the limit from 2 would be to make higher lvl guild ops that take longer to clear and give more rewards

[kindred vessel]

your limitation is making sure all 60 players are always doing every fleet sendout at that point, cause they complete faster the more ships that are on them

[fluid grotto]

their intention probably to wall cn tryhards that probably will minmax the rewards

[hearty crane]

You can easily do 4+ if you do the short one. It's not worth it now, at all, of course, but if you could do infinite runs the speed you can get through it would offset the T4 parts to get more parts in the end... theoretically.

[primal valve]

just

let us kill those holograms instantly

its a waste of time

ugh

[agile gazelle]

more ships in guild shops. I currently have around 13k tokens and can't do anything except spend them every three days, which with my rolls isn't much

[sinful cloud]

If they dont revamp SOS then it would be nice to stick some subs in there
Or the free skins that are lost in time

[agile gazelle]

yeah we need like three skins that were shop limited

Deutschland, Le Mars, soon Kinu

I was lucky and got Deutschland skin in rerun, but I took a break last year and didn't get Le Mars skin during rerun

[high pond]

Le Mars skin isn't shop limited

[glass cradle]

Need more ways to spend quick finishers like you can use QF 2 times a day on research projects.
Most players have more than they can use

[narrow sage]

I think they mean limited in event shop (Deuthschland's skin) or milestone or event tied mini-game related

[high pond]

I hope so because what they're saying now implies that all 3 skins were obtainable through event shop which just isn't true

[thorny stump]

Operation Siren exploration progress should have a "Go there" button, eg if u find that NA ocean sector E not complete, then u can just press the button and go there. Hunting all over the map for a particular sector is not fun.
Also the "record files" item should be more accessible, sometimes so hard to make it come out.

[cursive horizon]

I agree that it would be nice to to just "go there" instead of hunting for it on the map.

[hasty mountain]

when you finish a stage and the auto-search rewards window pops up, can we add somewhere in that window the current dock space?

[shadow basin]

Has it been suggested that when we click on a item from the drop list after a map that it show how much of said item we have instead of just what we got from the map? Like SP4 drops 180 event currency which we can see from the drop list but clicking on it would show total event currency

[hasty mountain]

especially to show equipment blueprint progress when you're farming that, as it is the most annoying process in the world to check the count

[wheat bone]

What would be a great addition to the story mode ui would be the ability to change out you're fleet before the battle like hard mode

[hasty mountain]

then you'd kinda lose the point of having the fleets menu
but there's a way you could get the best of both: change every single fleet selector instance into the hard mode selector, then change the current fleets screen into fleet presets, and add into the hard mode selector which is now standardized everywhere, a button that lets you load a fleet from one of your 6 presets

[wheat bone]

Its just for ease of use the code is already there and it would fit with the rest of the game as it is

But you're idea works but that would add more code than needed

[hearty crane]

Doesn't it already show the total in the topright of the eventmap. Don't recall if it's blurred out if the auto screen pops up, it shouldn't though (it's nice for gold gear though, yeah).

[shadow basin]

I mean for all drops honestly not just event currency
topright shows total accumulation not current stock

[humble ruin]

hey

its been almost 8 months

where da Z Flag at mane

[scenic flower]

Why do you want it so hard?

[kindred vessel]

cause it's actually useful on Mikasa

+5% FP and Hit on entire fleet when equipped by her

[sinful cloud]

Could put it in the Hammerlin shop too

[scenic flower]

Okay, I'll rephrase. Why are you using Mikasa?

[copper nest]

Just because it's not the most powerful bb doesn't mean that special item should be gone forever because "nO oNe iS uSinG MikAsA" 😐

[scenic flower]

I just wonder why so much people want that piece. But looks like there's no worthy reason, I see.

[hoary warren]

It's the same reason people want Bismarck or Helena. Whole fleet's buff. Also, if they want it then let them have it, why do you care? lol

[fierce sonnet]

but it gives a lot of fleet power

[sinful cloud]

Could also ask why ppl wanted the VH armor, not necessary for Azuma

Ppl want to use what they like, doubt many are using Glasgow in Opsi like me

[fluid grotto]

collection value is a valid reason asking for z flag

[inner frost]

Could we also add the furniture from divergent chessboard? I desperatly need them

[high pond]

It's very possible that all furniture sets except collab will go on sale later this year

[velvet adder]

i know gear lab is a new thing, but for the love of god please make every single weapon in there craftable, i dont wanna grind shitty SOS maps for a small chance of getting a submarine torp blueprint, LET ME USE MY BLUE AND PURPLE PARTS ON THE TRASH GEAR, so i can make the good gear,its a gear lab I CAN STILL PRODUCE THE OUTDATED GEAR, what am i even grinding opsi for if im limited by rng prints from SOS

even the sub weekly hasnt given me enough prints to build ONE of those things, and ive been doing it every single week without fail

either make the sub weekly a sub daily (yes 2x a day) it would not break the balance since u get dog shit from it anyway apart from a literal purple print (which is the rarest thing on earth) or make it craftable in gear lab

an even better idea is if you own the gear, you can break it down and reverse engineer it inside the lab doesnt that sound like a great idea in the theme of the gear lab

[reef basin]

pretty disappointing that azusa is the only one with a unique background (although it is very nice)

[charred wave]

Please make it possible to favourite gear in the depot crafting and the gear lab, because there are so many different ones and I believe for most people they are only interested in maybe 10 different ones in the depot and perhaps 5 in the gear lab. Providing a way to sort them would reduce the need to sort through the entire list to find the exact gear you are looking for.

[hearty crane]

The Bidder isn't as great as advertised anyway, people do the maths on stats that are higher than the actual damage value, and they still haven't fixed that...

[solemn peak]

an option to turn off the collab music on the main screen and the others (dock, ship profile, etc), i don't want to hear idol shit

[kindred vessel]

Isn’t the main appeal of the Bidder the reload and not the raw damage

[raw quest]

it's the damage, bidder is pretty slow but shoots 3 torps instead of the usual 2
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/List_of_Submarine_Torpedoes#Max_Stats

[formal oyster]

What level are you doing ?
If you want Mk VIII prints you should do the Lv 70 one, it has 90% chance of dropping purple gear blueprints vs 65 for the Lv 90.
It's still rather slow but clearly not as much.

[indigo holly]

why does Wichita have light armour when all the New Orleans class ships have medium, when historically Wichita had thicker armour?

[velvet adder]

i dont farm any SOS cos i refuse to do so since it doesnt have clearing mode, and since gear lab was added in january ive only done the submarine weeklies and i only have 9/10 prints for my first purple torp

[indigo holly]

ive done the exact same thing and have 3 bidders

[velvet adder]

how

1 was free since they gave us a free version of it when it came out

[formal oyster]

I meant the Sub weekly raid.
And yeah same, I have next to 4 without being particularly lucky on the drops.

And I never do SoS.

[velvet adder]

i have literally 0 from the sub raids just rng bullshit like usual that they could fix by making them craftable

[formal oyster]

That's the thing, are you doing the last level or the one before ?

[velvet adder]

i didnt know the chances were lower or higher, i just assumed the highest level = best because well, its higher

[formal oyster]

Best for SR prints, not for Elite ones.

[indigo holly]

i only run last one

still have 3 bidders

[hasty mountain]

please reduce the chance of this shit spawning, it requires me to collect it manually and that is annoying
"but you don't need any more than 180 adaptability" tell that to my ocd

[formal oyster]

But it's true that it's confusing in game, as they don't even show that you can drop purple prints in the last two levels. And there's clearly enough space to display it, along with the drop chances like they did for SR prints. Already suggested a while ago but...

[velvet adder]

like i have all this trash and i literally cant use it

the most dumb mechanic in the game, why even show it if i cant craft it? i dont care that it "comes from it"

[indigo holly]

not like u ever need to craft it now anyways

since u can craft in gear lab straight from blueprints

[velvet adder]

if i had blueprints

and we get back to my issue

i have thousands of purple and blue materials and i cant even spend them, because most of the time they arent craftable (the things that are actually useful)

[indigo holly]

u need them to craft things further down the gear lab lines

cause those are usually prefaced by purple gear

[velvet adder]

i just showed you i cant craft it look above, thats the start, it goes Purple torp ---> gold bidder

[indigo holly]

was i talking about the bidder?

no i wasnt

[velvet adder]

then what are you talking about?

[indigo holly]

idk maybe the 100 other things u can craft??

[slate monolith]

If you look at the right, you can enter it from that direction though if that's what that complaint was about.

[indigo holly]

its not like Bidder is the only thing crafted in teh gear lab

[indigo holly]

thats not what his complaint is about

[slate monolith]

[formal oyster]

I think his complaint is more about the fact that auto-search can't take it

[velvet adder]

95% of the other stuff is newbie bait, or just shouldnt be crafted because its useless, or by the time they can get the materials in opsi they already have 10 of them

[slate monolith]

Then there are a few blue gear that you can only obtain by using the lab itself

[indigo holly]

a good chunk of Gear Lab stuff is BiS

[velvet adder]

i just dont get why some of them are literally not craftable, when other craftable gear also has gear blueprints etc to find it

[slate monolith]

If anything they need a way to trade some of the blue gear up to purple at the very least. Especially with how that stuff piles up rather quickly

[indigo holly]

Gear Lab has had 1 version so far, it hasnt been adjusted or changed since launch

i imagine it will be updated with the next part of Operation Siren

[velvet adder]

its just so slow adding content when this content should have been here from the start (or patched in)

and im shafted entirely by rng

when i could feasibly have other ways to obtain it than running the rng gauntlet

[slate monolith]

RNG can be a harsh mistress

[fluid grotto]

just do SOS

[velvet adder]

yeah no thanks

[bronze elk]

RNG in gacha game bad REEEEEEE remove it!!!!!!

On another note, current collab botes' tiara exchange interface basically hardcaps you to 1 tiara within inventory at a time - would be nice if they'd just allow us to purchase additional tiaras from shop (for the duration of the event, as is probably intended) to bypass this or... just fix the interface itself

[fluid grotto]

[velvet adder]

im not saying to remove it theres a gear lab but its cock blocked by bad design

the starts of all the paths are unbuildable, but every step after is

its just that the chain for the bidder is 2 long

so youre entirely reliant on getting only 1 thing whereas in other chains you can start at the many different points

all the start points should be buildable, its not like the technology was suddenly forgotten after using gear lab to "research new ones"

[fluid grotto]

harder to get doesn't mean bad design tho, maybe they can improve the drop rate but not make it a freebies

[velvet adder]

its not a freebie since i need to grind the resources in operation siren to build it anyway

[fluid grotto]

purple mats pretty much freebies at this point

[velvet adder]

well yeah after like 5 months of opsi and nothing to spend them on my exact point

in fact moving up from the start point of a research tree would expend even more resources than normal people would, making my way more difficult but yes less reliant on rng

but it would be a stable way of creating the gears

[fluid grotto]

well i'm pretty sure bidder is difficult to get was intended anyway, just how g7e used to be scarce.

[bronze elk]

There wouldn't be much more (if any) difficulty since autosearch exists in Opsi to begin with, and you're not going to use those blue/purple mats on other gears in most cases pretty sure devs didn't make it that way to begin with so that bidders wouldn't just be a freebie altogether

Auto search in SOS would be a more feasible fix to this imo, since pretty much the rest of the game already has it

Also better some actual rewards for CM please?

[velvet adder]

yeah SoS is just legacy forgotten content, im not even sure the bidder was added to increase the use of it after the sub rework seems like they just shoved the print in there for consistency sake and abandoned it straight away after

should just make it 1 battle like hard mode no way im going in with ambushes and manual play

seems like theyre trying to phase ambushes out of the game anyway now since no event has them anymore

[bronze elk]

Yeah ambushes already don't exist in SOS

[velvet adder]

shows how long i havent played that dead content for

[earnest mist]

im@s bgm is really loud compared to the normal bgm. Could just be me tho

[primal valve]

yes its very loud

but can lower BGM at settings

Add fleet lock option on uncleared maps

[jolly jacinth]

I think it may have been mixed incorrectly, because my sound settings used to allow my secretary to speak over the music. The collab music is so loud I can’t even hear Torricelli say PLEH

[primal valve]

be like me
turn off all audio
get used to it

[scenic flower]

[hasty mountain]

that sounds about right, manjuu never learned how to properly loop videogame bgms

[cursive horizon]

I really hope the next event has an actual story and feel like an excuse plot. This wasn't as bad as the Dead or Alive story, but after all the build up it just skips straight to them going home?! Disappointing. The writing for HoloLive and Kizuna was much better than this. Whatever kind of collab we get next time, I hope the story is more interesting. Feels like a waste of the Muse characters.

[undone swift]

Make certain event mini game permanent when their respective event got achieved in the future.

[jolly jacinth]

FFXIV does that in a way. You have a toy box in your inn room which allows you to play on screen mini games from previous seasonal events. You could simply smash this function into the mementos tab, though I assume too many over time would be major game bloat (which a PC/console game at 80gb wouldn’t care about)

[regal elm]

Speaking of archives, is there a suggestion for a way to get trophies from events that are added to War Archive?

[undone swift]

I dont think I've seen one.

But, the trophies are what make the event special imo
To prove you're present during that time.

[regal elm]

Well...
I was present during FW, but didn't get the trophy cuz I was still a nugget, if that's your point. I understand, though.

[jolly jacinth]

I do think that is the point, yes. Trophies and frames are, imo, badges to show you fully completed x event in its time limit

I think the event in archive would lose the purpose

[regal elm]

Alright, I understand. Won't argue with that
There goes my chance to complete trophy collection

[fluid grotto]

sell trophy in cash shop

[scenic flower]

[primal valve]

add an option to see all ship with skins thats currently owned

[winter hearth]

It's already there

[primal valve]

Oh yeah sorry

[hearty crane]

I don't bother with the Bidder myself till they fix the damage. It's been 6 months, so aaaaaany day now.

Also +1 for eventframes later (the best IB frame and no dice since one elite sub just didn't drop 😭 )

Also a suggestion for SOS allow it to drop prints every battle, like normal maps, not just one drop at the boss. Makes it even worse along with all the other stuff making SOS undesirable

[crude pasture]

yeah, SOS is such an extremely low rate

[fluid grotto]

i don't see anything wrong with bidder dmg tho

[plucky dagger]

The game is great! One thing I wanted to note is about Laffey (benson) It would be super cool if instead of getting a different laffey for the Allen M sumner class, its just like a fate for benson laffey, ie it would add another tab. This could be done for Yorktown to, and a few other ships. Like Hornet (A essex was named after yorktown and Hornet). Maybe it should only be avalible after they hit like lvl 120 and reset the level to 1 of that ship.

Not suggesting to add ships but a different system for dealing with ships of the same name in a different class.

altho a UR dd would be kinda cool especially if it made it around the dd survivability issue

[sinful cloud]

So you would "ascend" the ship and get the counterpart of the other class?
That sounds interesting

[somber sorrel]

optimize storage space if possible (speaking from a device with low storage capacity)

[narrow sage]

I think we have Bandai to "thank" for that in part. Also keep in mind Hololive and Kizuna Ai are zanier in nature.

[whole kernel]

i wish there were 2 more furniture rotation options

[cursive horizon]

That's true.

Unrelated: Seeing the really neat mass-produced ship designs for the collab, that we'll never see again, I think this is a good time to bring back my suggestion from January that we really need a sort of Naval Museum/Gallery where we can see all the enemy boats from the different factions, as well as the Sirens. It's nice to look at a boss in Operation Siren and just see them animating in place, since it's nearly impossible to get a good look during battle.

#collected-feedback message

[limber jolt]

It'd be nice if it showed its armor type as well (for the sirens)

Oh wait nvm, the trello mentions it as well

[plucky dagger]

Yeap, thats basically the idea. I think it would be a good way to add in like a Allen M sumner laffey or Yorktown (Essex) Hornet (essex)

Idk about other nations ships. The US made so many we ran out of names... so...

Now if only they would make javelin better...

Can we sort the ships in dock by fleets?

like
F1, F2, F3 and so on

current is mixed

[woeful shale]

Please add a Claim All to Weekly Missions. Having to click claim 20 times is so tedious!

[primal valve]

Why are you stacking them at 20 then claiming them at once

[fluid grotto]

cus the point stacked up easily

[primal valve]

not until 20

[fluid grotto]

yes they do

[hearty crane]

They mean the dai... weekly 20 rewards. That most of us reach on monday. It's quite tedious yes. It's okay for events since once every so often but this is weekly... (and the bloody bulin popup)

[scenic flower]

I hate these pop-ups with bulli and other ships I already own. When tf there will be an option to suppress them?

[woeful shale]

Why can’t we just have a Master Claim All? The previous weekly system was easy to claim. The present one just over complicated it and added a needless 20 click grind with annoying Bulin pop ups that slow it down even further! ☹️

[hearty crane]

And even more if you reached the specialised core cap and hot 3 MORE annoying screens to click through

[primal valve]

lost hundreds of them every month

[scenic flower]

[woeful shale]

Absolutely! It’s just annoying tbh. What’s worse is it’s a weekly annoyance. 😔

[primal valve]

add more limit like 4.5k or 5k

[kindred vessel]

the limit on cores is fine, all that needs to be done is the popup removed since it's not like we can do anything about hitting the cap anyway

[scenic flower]

overcap could be traded for something. It's a shame to waste it like that.

[primal valve]

[undone swift]

Azur lite for the low end device peeps.

[crude pasture]

unless you have the weeklies of the last week of the month, which, like this week can actually carry over to the next month and give you a head start there

[hearty crane]

PM @agile otter with !submit

[scenic flower]

We need more KMS BBs. Now we only have 2 okaaaayish Gneisenau sisters and the oil-havy Bis/Tirp/PR ships. Nothing to choose for PR EXP farming.

[primal valve]

use CV

[scenic flower]

not a big choice too. Look at other nations.

[sinful cloud]

Not many to choose from like the other nations

[kindred vessel]

They don't take feedback on new ships, but the main problem is the surface fleet of the Kriegsmarine was a bit pathetic compared to other navies.

[scenic flower]

^ this too

[primal valve]

not a big fan of them but why are they pathetic?

[scenic flower]

AA

You can't bring them at 12+

[primal valve]

[crude pasture]

there were only a handful of ships to begin with (regarding Battleships we have literally all of them now, unless you count the Predreadnoughts, which considering Mikasa would be a fair point), and there wasn't any functional carrier, and GZ was the only one even launched. We should count ourselves lucy that we even have what we have (particularly with Strasser and SeydlitzWeser, who never historically existed)

[primal valve]

[copper nest]

they can also add more paper ships like pr but not pr (already done few times so why not)

[crude pasture]

that's not to say the ships themselves were pathetic, the Scharnhorsts were fairly decent ships, if gimped thanks to their small caliber, and the Bismarcks were competitive with most late-treaty battleships, but that's also "only" because they were inefficiently designed, since their displacement was way beyond the other ships they are competitive with

[crude pasture]

like Heinrich and Strasser?

[copper nest]

yes

[primal valve]

yuh

[fluid grotto]

yes you can

[crude pasture]

yeah, I was farming PR XP in 12-4 using the Scharns and uhh I think Strasser?

[hearty crane]

I was farming in 12-4 with 3 CV and Roon... so yeah def possible

[fluid grotto]

leipzig and nurnberg can do the AA carry

even w13

[sinful cloud]

Someone already did 13-4 with only KMS fleets

[primal valve]

someone even solo noshi kii akashi ryuuhou 13-4

[fluid grotto]

even before strasser event ppl alr did full kms w13

[primal valve]

#gameplay-help

[fluid grotto]

@naive cobalt

20 secs, not bad

[hidden siren]

I just wanted to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the gear skins are available as farm-able drops from the event maps. When they are only purchasable in the store, it feels like an insurmountable obstacle to farm 21000 coins every 24 hours. Instead, if you're farming the event, then you will slowly gain a collection of skins.

My only suggestion would be to change the event shop such that you can buy an item that grants 5 specific skins instead of 10 random skins.

[hearty crane]

So far all collab and muse events did the droppable skins thing, which also do the whole SP1-4 thing.

[velvet adder]

i mean the gear skins are way overpriced having them in stages is literally the only way i get them, maybe they should do the same to any event that has them

[slate monolith]

Well hopefully next year we will get all 5 Iron Blood PRs, since it seems like it's a thing to have at least more than one each PR season it seems /sarcasm

But honestly I'm glad we got a Pasta PR for starters and I hope that next PR release we will get one of the Vodka girls out of it or so.

[velvet adder]

i cant wait to do the exact same thing for the 5th time

[eternal bronze]

As a person who has IB as my favorite faction i blame the devs for not giving attention to the older and actual existing IB ships (including the ones that exist in the game), but i guess they need to create hype out of wehraboos by spamming 2 paper ships in every PR season so they can get money out of it .

could be worse thought since its a gacha game after all but thats how i think about it

[slate monolith]

Which is why I was being sarcastic with having an Oops all Iron Blood PRs there

[eternal bronze]

yeah i don't doubt of that happening since WoWs made a new German Battlecruiser line out of WW1 designs

[sinful cloud]

Time for throwback events

[eternal bronze]

actually a great idea for the next april fools event

[crude pasture]

I miss being able to make a choice in dialogue in the Juustagrams

[fluid grotto]

disable button for juustagtram plz

[cursive horizon]

I get why they put Crosswave back, but does it need to notify me that there is nothing to collect every time I log into the game?

[scenic flower]

[spark abyss]

what do you think of a new 24fps option along with our current 30fps and 60fps options to further increase battery life on mobile devices

[scenic flower]

Would be cool if the game could update and autosearch at sleeping mode.

[primal valve]

no

better is upvote and downvote button

[high pond]

[primal valve]

[north wave]

have us type out our comment and build an AI for every shipgirl to respond plz

[primal valve]

add hide online status to guild members tab

[vernal latch]

Hello, I'm wondering if there were any suggestions or feedback regarding new weekly quest system?

As things are right now, weekly quests are completed in around 30 hours, which feels like expanded daily quest and doesn't feel like weekly quest at all when there are 6 empty days afterwards

[primal valve]

Chapter 12 hard when

[stone valley]

The world if purins and bulins didn't count towards dockspace

[hearty crane]

Can I ask again why the Season 1 PR discount resets 4 hours after reset? Why?

[slate monolith]

Most likely that was when the brought the servers out of maintenance for it I guess

[raw quest]

i'm fine with the 4 hour difference but can it show an ❗ mark that it have reset so i don't forget

[velvet adder]

can we scale these 10 build things all down to 7 now

[sinful cloud]

So they programmed it to active when the servers go live instead of using the standard reset time that was already made and would work the same

[raw quest]

you'll finish that in time since event have 14 days

[sinful cloud]

Ngl Im joking but if thats really the case, thats some serious banana programming

[velvet adder]

yeah i was just thinking it would be better to make it 7 anyway and just make it 50%

plus sometimes i forget now i dont have to build any in a week technically

[hearty crane]

There's still the build 1 ship daily? (which provides more resources than 1 light build costs)

[velvet adder]

yeah but i technically dont really get anything out of it so i forget

[hearty crane]

[hasty mountain]

you get 200 gold out of it

[north wave]

which im pretty sure violate the ingame naming rules

should this go in bug reports

[naive cobalt]

@north wave you can report them via Belfast (instructions how to use her above your message)

[forest bridge]

I think I’m playing the games too hard I mean it’s Tuesday and finish my weekly missions

[primal valve]

daily mission

[crude pasture]

the HP pool of the planes Chihaya spits out is completely out of proportion compared to the rest of the im@s event

[kindred vessel]

Most of the super tryhard dedicated players finish the “weekly” missions within 12 hours of weekly reset

[elder garnet]

please turn off X-wave notiff for those who already claimed all the rewards, the persistent red exclamation is quite annoying.

[indigo holly]

DR researches have become so backwardly effective its ridiculous im consistently getting 3-4 Prints from Blue research lately and every gold ive done in the last 2 weeks has only given 3. why are gold so heavily weighted to give their absolute minimum???

[velvet adder]

bank for oil and coins?

[solar frigate]

No ships alive?

[raw quest]

that happens sometime ye, just reload the game

[solar frigate]

I se...

[naive cobalt]

@hearty crane Please keep comments in this channel to actual feedback and not passive-agressive ranting/salting in response to week old discussions

[kindred vessel]

Can we please not have the Meta fleet be the only "per device" fleet in the game? Whenever I change my meta fleet I have to remember to change it on 3 devices

[fluid grotto]

let the guy post his feedback

speaking of meta fleet, would be a lot convenient if we have separated fleet for it rather than choosing ships from current opsi fleets , i.e boss specific ship have no place in my opsi fleet, i have no choice but to put them in there just so i can use them in meta.

[scenic flower]

[acoustic helm]

same here, thinking about not taking gold 8hr DR face anymore

[eternal bronze]

cube researchs turned even better after the changes tho

im scared that they might nerf it someway

[velvet adder]

Didn't the devs say when they introduced guild 2.0 that a way to adjust gear while in the boss screen was on the way, or am i misremembering? What ever happened to that?

[sinful cloud]

Cant complain about the 8hr researchs, been getting good loot from them
Problem being getting them in the first place cause of the bs rng

[fossil nest]

Not sure if this goes here, but I'd like to report a player because of their name. I don't have a user ID though, because i only see them in the meta boss damage ranking list, so I took a screenshot

[kindred vessel]

@fossil nest you can do it via Belfast with the feedback submission

[fossil nest]

thank you! Where do I do that? Right here?

[eternal bronze]

talk directly to belfast

[raw quest]

If you want to suggest new things for the game - please use !submit command in #bot-spam or send a direct message with it to @Belfast.

[lean field]

@agile otter Hi, i was thinking about this... how about allow shikikan to trade ship just once per event and just a ship only?
It would be great and i don't think this will affect your income

Great game by the way !

[raw quest]

direct message not @

[lean field]

thanks. sorry. i'll send a direct

[hearty crane]

"Provide evidence"
Provides evidence
"Don't post more on it"

So... what exactly do you guys want?

[undone swift]

Quick finisher for Research pls

[primal valve]

Lmao

[hasty mountain]

YO, I just noticed, dunno when it was added but now we have actual full equipment filters on Craft screen, thank you for finally implementing this

[kindred vessel]

WTF WHEN WAS THAT ADDED

[primal valve]

[sinful cloud]

Was there any update with "gear lab optimized in the notes"? If so, probably that
Would be nice to have the notes say what was actually changed instead of that since barely any communication to not have ppl find nice changes randomly

Heard that it was a bug but still no idea what is the "fate research optimized" they did

[velvet adder]

its why really the patch notes should be more detailed than "it was optimized" nobody knows what that means and we have to go to jp notes to know anything at all

[blazing heart]

If days after I submitted feedback to Belfast #collected-feedback updates and my feedback doesn't appear there, is it safe to say it won't appear there anymore?
Btw I wasn't sure if it should go into feedback or bug report in the first place (It's about Ägir's skin's animation being wrong in one place)

[velvet adder]

When you send a card to belfast it is then supposed to be reviewed by a mod before beeing approved. Belfast let's you know if they did

[naive cobalt]

I usually go over sent feedback once every couple of days and probably missed yours

Yes, it should be reported as a bug

[blazing heart]

Ok then ignore the feedback and I'll submit it as bug ig

[blazing heart]

Yeah I know, but if they overlook it, it'll just silently disappear without Belfast telling me anything^^

[velvet adder]

It just happens some times, if it does just let a mod know it hasn't been attended and they will be glad to check if something went wrong

[hasty mountain]

there was one item on PR4's update this month that read "filter selection of blueprints has been optimized", I assume that is the one (though at the time I thought it was something related to PR, since the whole update revolved around it)

[winter hearth]

What about to add an auxiliary gear, that changes Armor type from Medium/Heavy to Light?

This will really help in pvp against torpmeme and also against some torpedo and/or Avi bosses

[spark abyss]

adding armour to a ship is realistic, but stripping armour sounds interesting

[sinful cloud]

Well its a "retro" but Kaga BB has heavy while Kaga has medium, not that unrealistic to strip armour

[fluid grotto]

doesnt make sense if u need to equip an aux for it

[winter hearth]

Siren technology auxiliary?

[primal valve]

Game lore says no

[copper nest]

Maybe instead of introducing gear that will allow throwing cruisers at literally everything make dds better, they have light armor and despite it I doubt you're using them in mentioned situations 🙁

[primal valve]

solution for non heavy armor

[copper nest]

Thanks, but I'm fine, send it to the other person 🙂

[real cobalt]

Im starting to question the devs choices when it comes to adding things into the game.. Like player base has been asking for so many things that make sense yet instead of them adding any of it they add things that are not needed in the game. Like what does having comics in game do? Its a game not a manga app.

[sturdy valve]

Bring back memes!!!

[minor robin]

Did you perchance misread the channel name

[primal valve]

no

[primal valve]

in the end we're just players

we dont have power to tell devs what to do and what not to do

just live with it

[hidden siren]

Amy*'s answer isn't particularly helpful in this case, but I think it's worth remembering that Azur Lane is an international game. There were some people on twitter saying that Idolm@ster is incredibly popular in Japan, so it's important to consider that what's popular in Japan and China might not be popular in NA. Vice versa, things people from NA find popular might not be the same in Japan and China.

[primal valve]

Thank you for stating it

[cursive horizon]

You can say that Idolmaster is popular in Japan, and I'm sure it is if it's lasted for 15 years, but what percentage of the players actually found it a worthwhile collab? Just cause something is popular in that country doesn't mean it'll translate to the players gobbling it up. We'll likely never know since this is the EN server, of course.

[half stream]

Hi, when are we able to obtain Z36 again ?

[obtuse breach]

when scherzo gets archived (it already is on CN/JP)

[half stream]

alright i forgot the event was not archived

[winter hearth]

In that situations CL tanks with light armor are really useful, but in pvp not. In PvP you cannot put CL or DD tank, because there is always a lot of Acc and Luck, so Eva tanking doesn't work. But if we had there Azuma with light armor, than Torpmeme would die. 9K light armor is really hard target for torpedoes

[copper nest]

We definitely do, we're playing this game and some of us are also paying for gems or other things, if not us (the entire playebase) game couldn't exist so yeah, we can sort of tell them what to do, not in the sense of ordering them around but via feedback 🙂

[primal valve]

the entire playebase
the entire playerbase doesnt always have the same opinion(CN JP EN)
via feedback
they got tons of feedbacks. they need to choose and consider bcs making a new feature takes time. First devs need to create, then tested by beta testers for a certain time and if its good itll be added to the game. By the time theyre done with few beta features tons of another suggestions arrived from players

man i could write few more paragraph

[eternal bronze]

plus JP holds more influence when it comes to that

[primal valve]

some of us are also paying for gems or other things
ye so do CN and JP

[kindred vessel]

Maybe if EN spent more money they’d get listened to more

[sinful cloud]

Not like we have information on what they are working on... or anything by that matter

[eternal bronze]

I mean they can't blame us for this collab being a failure here? Can't they?

[kindred vessel]

This collab really felt aimed at JP and EN was tacked on cause they were doing a collab anyway

[primal valve]

Collab may be a failure
or thats a lie. players saying its shit and anything but still rolling money for them

[kindred vessel]

If it’s a success in JP they probably won’t care about how it does on EN

[eternal bronze]

we will see by the end of this month

[primal valve]

its a success in CN and JP

a complain from 1 community cant change what another 2 community wants.

[sinful cloud]

Certainly not me, havent even spent cubes for them

[kindred vessel]

I still pulled all of them cause collab don’t rerun

[primal valve]

Max them and scrap them to assert dominance

scrapped ships still counts towards collection rate

[sinful cloud]

This is the first collab that im happy wont rerun, if it wasnt for the prints and Nep gun drops, wouldnt even be farming it

[kindred vessel]

Collab ships don’t count toward collection rate at all it’s just for flexing

[sinful cloud]

[primal valve]

even if this collab isnt a success in EN but JP CN they still bringing other idolmaster ships bcs thats what the other 2 community wants

[primal valve]

[eternal bronze]

thats true

won't be spending anything on it anyways

[sinful cloud]

Cool, give them more but give me the archives we still dont have instead

[kindred vessel]

Only reason I didn’t like this collab is I don’t care about idol stuff but other people do and that’s fine

[primal valve]

perhaps im@s cinderella girls next who knows

[eternal bronze]

Azur Lane name changed to Idol Lane when

[primal valve]

Waifu Lane

[raw quest]

dw guys if this collab does well in JP, we'll get a second collab (not a rerun) with the remaining girls in 1st gen

[eternal bronze]

waiting for the older ones such as Neptunia then

[primal valve]

Cinderella girl pls

[sinful cloud]

Ngl I dont know if it was because of the collab or they changed the base game but the dorm music that is now is great

[sinful cloud]

Besides Kizuna, every other collab would have a second part by that logic
Hololive 2 when?

[eternal bronze]

yeah adding second collabs of a recent one when people wants the older ones is definitly not a good idea

[primal valve]

I want Calli

[astral mantle]

hololive collab will most likely never happen again because china doesn't like hololive now.

[sinful cloud]

They made collabs for only certain regions already

[eternal bronze]

ngl

EN will definitly like if they bring Hololive EN

[primal valve]

JP?

[eternal bronze]

and yes they already made region only collabs

[astral mantle]

CN would never shut up if it happened though

[minor robin]

(bili and nico collabs were before EN was ever a thing fwiw)

[eternal bronze]

who cares about CN here

[primal valve]

#1 CN
#2 JP
#3 EN

[minor robin]

as for utawawerumono uhhh

[astral mantle]

"who cares about CN"
it's really funny when people don't realize how much gacha games make from the CN players

[primal valve]

CN playerbase would do anything to get the max and best result of a game
thats why they #1

[eternal bronze]

thats not the case with AL

[primal valve]

best game always comes from CN community.

[raw quest]

other collabs have no chance of returning but idolmaster can

[primal valve]

[raw quest]

just 1st gen, no cinderella girls or anything

[primal valve]

Give me Cinderella Girls!

[primal valve]

noooo

[eternal bronze]

anyways Neptunia part 2 or else

[sinful cloud]

That mech collab on JP happened after EN was a thing

And technically some others like the Yuudachi skin was after too but EN was in beta still

[primal valve]

Trento skin please

[hearty crane]

I need my CPU Candidates (and the CPU's since I didn't play AL during first Nep run)

The most recent CN only collab was that military plane one... but it just gave some dorm stuff (as the JP only Armored Trooper Votoms does)

[crude pasture]

my main source of salt is joining too late for holo

[eternal bronze]

i joined back at early 2020 and i feel totally trashed to not get a opportunity to revisit these events

[crude pasture]

same I joined in MM and was disappointed that hololive was long gone

[eternal bronze]

same

[sinful cloud]

Joined when Holo started (didnt know what it was at the time) and since the tutorial didnt say anything about event limits, I missed it all

[eternal bronze]

im sure many people feel like this aswell

so please stop rerunning useless collabs on WoWs and hear EN for once

[crude pasture]

do you mean adding more PR seasons?

[eternal bronze]

no i mean the ingame WoWs ones

[crude pasture]

or do you mean WoWs rerunning the event, because that's not really on Manjuu

[eternal bronze]

but the decision cleary comes from them

[crude pasture]

well, for hololive they need to collaborate with hl/Cover on that

well collaborate/coordinate

[scenic flower]

Please, give us more ways to get the Mark VIII Torpedo BPs! I farmed SOS worlds 8+ for 3 days, and got nothing. This is not fun, you know?

If you email customer support they might give you refund if it was recent? Idk

[primal valve]

no i think
lmao

[kindred vessel]

lolno, they tell you to be more careful

[sinful cloud]

fucks the UI
be more careful
Sounds legit

[modest island]

thats a rip

[eternal bronze]

if i remember right there was a feedback on #collected-feedback asking for improvements about this thing

#collected-feedback message

you should vote there just in case

[clear pumice]

Add Lil Sandy to the build pool or a shop. It has been 2 years and 2 months since she was last available.

[balmy ginkgo]

I imagine this has been mentioned here but why not make a pc port for Azur Lane? My computer doesn’t like running the game through bluestacks so I wish there was a better way to play the game on pc

[hidden siren]

I think there are a couple of other popular emulators. Do they work for you?

[ionic matrix]

Hmmm... I don't know if this would be asking too much from phones, but have the devs ever considered adding an option to have enemy fleet nodes in OpSi move around in preset paths every few turns? Might add an interesting bit of strategy for those that'd want it. Entirely optional of course, so you can keep time spent the same as it is now.

[primal valve]

[hearty crane]

Someone suggested that, and it got majorly downvoted in collected feedback.

[fleet salmon]

It infuriates me every time I see it.

[copper nest]

It's a trap, it's mobile game
It was mentioned here few days ago I think and it's intended, plus support tells you to be more careful

[fleet salmon]

mentioned by me

leaving it like that is not a good look on devs

imagine telling people to be careful of that

It's on devs to make UI consistent

[inner frost]

I can guarantee you its 100% intentionally done in order to make people spend their gems by mistake so don't expect this to change anytime soon, especially if it works

[modest island]

I can also guarentee that

[eternal bronze]

really scummy ngl

[obtuse breach]

welcome to mobile games

[sinful cloud]

And then they wonder why ppl say mobile games suck
This just makes them look like cunts, wouldnt be a big deal if at least gem commissions didnt appear once in a full moon

[copper nest]

spawning one is just half of success

[raw quest]

i always click the red x but ye pretty sus

[sinful cloud]

Dont remind of the 10 in a row that didnt give me gems

[hearty crane]

Doesn't even contain the "cancel" and "confirm" that upset me (since as you can see here the rest is capitalised)

There's always that 0.1% Guild chance for gems... that I have yet to see once even if the system was added in December.

[copper nest]

I have yet to get something that's not default reward

[hearty crane]

Now that AL is 16+ rather than 12+ can Eugen say "Bitch" again?

[sinful cloud]

Forgot about that

Wasnt there another thing that got "bitch" removed?

[honest ginkgo]

The Bache bike skin

[sinful cloud]

Oh right

[hoary warren]

I bought oil once accidentally when I was drunk just bc I quickly and instinctively clicked the left button bc

In many games "Cancel" button is on the left

[velvet adder]

Happened to me twice, wasnt drunk though

[hoary warren]

That was also my first time I saw this notification

[velvet adder]

I don't expect them to change it but i will fully agree that it looks really scummy and petty.

[sinful cloud]

Not that ive ran out of oil... since I started playing... but I just click where the menus usually arent since that makes them go away (still making the pause menu pretty darn useless)

[velvet adder]

They have done a great job with this game in general, keeping it non-predatory. so this kind of "tacticts" stand up in particular as something that should be beneath them

[copper nest]

Well it's mobile game but it shouldn't be an excuse xd
I almost bought 3rd tactical class slot but I didn't have enough gems
You know, clicking confirm before confirm appeared because of progress bar animation and then automatically clicking confirm once something appeared (that something was prompt to buy slot)

[velvet adder]

On that note, the pause menu for the submarine weekly missions is also swapped for some reason

[ionic matrix]

Did they remove reactions in this channel?

[scenic flower]

yeah

[winter hearth]

What about to do it so, that ship you placed in exercises as def will always have no equipment, even if this ship normally has. So it will be possible to put your waifus you always play without equipment on def in exercises. But there should be possible to choose every single ship to turn this feature on, to have opportunity to put some music auxiliary on one ship you don't use normally and make other 5 without equipment always.

[kindred vessel]

Red skill books should be weighted to drop more, like 50% chance for red and 25% chance for blue and yellow to make up for the fact that red skills are far more common

[silver depot]

I mean honestly the swapped button layout has saved me from accidentally spending gems for oil like 5-10 times, seems a stretch to me to attribute this one small specific menu to malice given the relatively f2p friendly nature of the rest of the game,

And how this menu appears where you would normally just hit continue and is instead a cancel button that I would guess stops more people from autopilot using the gems than actually mis-spending them .

I do think though that an option to use the secondary password to verify a gem purchase. Or something similar, could be a worthwhile addition. Guess I'll check the trello and actually submit to the bot

[blazing heart]

Totally agree with Stormscape here, there's currently ~450 red, ~200 blue and ~250 yellow skills in the game, either somehow even that out a bit (with skills on future ships ig) or give us more red skill books
And I also agree with Tash here, I see how the swapped buttons are bad, but I also think swapping them just to normal is bad cuz I would've bought oil countless times then eg for 10h comms

[modest island]

Just hit the x in the corner

Its in a consistent place for all of them

Besides maybe retirement

[winter hearth]

Just hit elsewhere on the screen

[agile gazelle]

More things to buy in guild shop. Right now I have over 10k coins/tokens and can't spend much aside from around 2k every three days

I have all ships in guild shop lbed and kaied if needed

Also add some event skins to some perm shop like Deutschland, Le Mars. AFAIK CN has Deutschland skin in core shop.

[velvet adder]

for me it has actually caused me to accidentally buy oil twice over 2 and a half years. your idea about being able to set up password confirmation for gem expenditure, actually sounds pretty good. if you fill the card i will make sure to support it

[shut quarry]

Can we get a Li'l Sandy event rerun at some point? Or at least add her to the light construction pool like with Clevelad and Lena.

[agile gazelle]

she was affection based

So she'll probably be added to core shop imo

[indigo holly]

God purple face research is worthless

If i didnt know better id think this was a blue research, why are the “better” researches so shit

[velvet adder]

yeah youd think the amounts they give out wouldnt overlap

taking a blue is like a 50/50 on whether you get a bad blue or a bad purple and using a purple is like getting a good blue or a bad purple

[fluid grotto]

laugh in d15 haku

[junior escarp]

purples used to give one, so that's a win

[indigo holly]

they still can, i was just lucky to two instead

[blazing heart]

No I'm fairly certain purples cannot give 1

[raw quest]

you can get 1 print from a 5 hour face research, it's just really low

[fierce sonnet]

cn data collection site says minimum is 2 for purple face

[raw quest]

i see, then the 1 haku print from a 5 hour that i got is a bug then

[kindred vessel]

it shouldn't be possible to get 1 from a purple face anymore, if you do it's a bug.

[raw quest]

yeah, i got it once on day 1 pr4 release

[inner frost]

Can we remove dupe researches already please

[dull halo]

Thats not a dupe. One is for pr3 the other for pr4

[inner frost]

One i had before that, can I complain about it now then?

[velvet adder]

i just got 1 print and 1 blue gear print from a 2:30 face, it doesnt even say they can give blue gear only purple or gold

[blazing heart]

It doesn't say it can give purple either iirc

[hollow sand]

aye so i submitted an idea some months ago
kinda forgot about it but just remembered about it then
was an idea about support ships where you could use monitors, repair ships and cargo ships in an additional slot in the main fleet
even possibly new oil tankers and merchant ships that can be used in there
mainly for use in opsi and events
maybe w14+

havent heard anything about it being rejected so kinda checking to see if its still something being looked at lol
submission 4512

[merry grove]

The research overhaul definitely didnt do anything better for DR bps...

[sinful cloud]

Them being a different season doesnt make me want them go any less

And the refresh only made it worse tbh... gotta love this tower of rng

[primal valve]

get used to it

[fluid grotto]

rng baddd

[sinful cloud]

Also got a rainbow Azuma a few days ago, doesnt mean its good

[fluid grotto]

yeah rng badd

[fierce sonnet]

you really using a refresh with multiple blue Qs

[sinful cloud]

Cant I? Thought it was there to use

[primal valve]

UR AA when

[scenic flower]

[subtle perch]

welp, guess its time for sandy to get her 2nd retro

[fluid grotto]

you refreshed on Q so i can't say much

[blazing heart]

How about making (prototype) gear prints convertible into protocores?

[fluid grotto]

actually a good idea to recycle hood/azuma gun print, lets just hope some cn players also suggesting the same

[primal valve]

[eternal bronze]

If iM@S can get a second event why older collabs can't?

[primal valve]

bcs dev said so

[eternal bronze]

how lovely of them

[copper nest]

that's up to 1. al decision makers and 2. whatever they want to collab with decision makers
can't really blame anyone (especially devs because they're just implementing whatever they're told to) because we don't know how it all works internally

[hearty crane]

And once again 1000AP gone, even if I spend the last couple days hours to burn AP. We really need the aquivelant of the commission/food buying for oil for AP. Or simply have a way to burn it faster than 40 per zone (and sometimes return 200 from Akashi doing so for a net burn of -160AP).

[eternal bronze]

i will still hit the hammer until they bring a positive response thought

[scenic flower]

When choosing the secretary, would be helpful to see the affinity of each ship. And filter out them by affinity too.

[copper nest]

Well good luck getting any response

[eternal bronze]

You know, i might be the only one here questioning these things, but there are many others with the same thought, idc if it gets ignored, i will still be questioning it as a player who missed content.

[copper nest]

I'm only saying there's not a lot in terms of communication

[eternal bronze]

Yeah i know, still, i won't give up because of that

[sinful cloud]

Still no idea about whats so bad about refreshing Q
Im sorry that I aint following your stupid rules by not spending my gold where I dont want to I guess

[blazing heart]

Q doesn't cost gold and is the cheapest refresh research has to offer

[sinful cloud]

Gold, prints , whatever

[blazing heart]

Refreshes are usually used when there's no good projects (also for resetting) whatsoever

Eh gold is useful, grey plates not so much

[hearty crane]

Q is usually used for refreshing since it has a 1 h duration (shortest outside of UL but those cost resources). And seeing you only got 1 refresh a day, probably a better choice to keep it for true trash and just sift the 1 hour.

[fluid grotto]

Q costs gold now?

are we even playing the same game?

before some smartass pointing out,yes Q-UL costs coins, but not the point

[fluid grotto]

yeah pls give my girls some food

[solemn peak]

Q are the best researches if you want to focus on gear only, with Q 1h being the very best and 4h being only slighty behind. Unless you're low on general plates, there's not really a reason not to run them

[sinful cloud]

Not focusing on gear, if I get enough I get enough (Ik they're the best for it)
Still no reason to act like the world is ending cause I refreshed on them when I dont want to do them

[velvet adder]

yes they do they say gold and purple only no blue, yet i got a blue i guess they only show 3 things

[blazing heart]

Okay, I meant projects other than blue ones

[fluid grotto]

the point of Q is to refresh tho

[blazing heart]

For the normal eq blueprints they only ever show the highest rarity for some reason

[velvet adder]

yeah its just research is never clear i wish it said specifically what they would give

and the chances

[blazing heart]

Yeah, at least the ranges would be nice

[modest island]

The D here looks like an O fix it plz

[velvet adder]

yeah ur right it does

maybe it would be better with just a > after the |

[blazing heart]

Doesn't matter, there's no O research

[velvet adder]

but there is it says it right up there O-708-MI

[sinful cloud]

Then why are they the specific for gear
Makes them give nothing if thats really their intended role

[hearty crane]

The first one is PR unique, the other is other prints. They don't exactly mean gold OR purple either.

[velvet adder]

yeah but how can you say it awards gold and purple and then give a blue just fake news

another reason why research should be a lot more accurate with what you will recieve from them imo

[hearty crane]

It doesn't. It says it gives PR gear stuff and regular gear stuff. Quote: "They don't exactly mean gold OR purple either."

[velvet adder]

yeah but the game doesnt say that

[hearty crane]

It does not

[velvet adder]

it says specifically "award SHIP PRINTS GOLD DESIGN, T2 DESIGN" if you click them

i dont get how the game doesnt specifically say you can get from this pool of items

its mostly cos the design of research is shit, possibly it would be better for the items possible to get would be listed in full when you click on details

i just think only showing the best items you can get is kinda decieving
