[fluid grotto]

you take q so you can refresh your list with minimum cost and time

[sinful cloud]

So thats not their intended point just good at it

[hearty crane]

I mean Q still IS the best research for gear, even if it's used for refreshing. Just like D is still the best non-whale research for prints, even if they neutered that one.

[fluid grotto]

i know it's olympic season rn but you dont have to do some mental gymnastic

[hearty crane]

Z26 has a skill called "Torpedo-Deflecting Field" and when triggered it's called "AntiTorp Field"... Mainz got a similar skill called "Retaliatory Shield" however it also writes "Retaliatory Shield" when it breaks and triggers it's effect, making it far less easier ingame to read when it's buffs trigger, unlike Z26 where it's clear as day which part of the skill is which. Can Mainz shieldbreak be called different too?

[limber jolt]

Can we get info about fs for dr ships? As I'm seeing it rn, I think that next pr season we'll get them, with pr2 progression being the same as pr1 (with coins) cause the amount needed for dr is insane meaning that fs for drs will cost coins, meaning that this catch-up for drs is just a head-start when the next season comes if someone has already finished to get them to max dev.
I need confirmation on this mostly cause I want to convert excess dr prints to proto cores so if it's a head-start it's not a big deal but if next season stays the same, needing bps instead of coins, then it's gonna be a problem. || Or maybe there's not gonna be fs for drs at all. ||

[cursive horizon]

Ruu would you please stop being condescending to people?

[north wave]

Add a vibration for whenever auto mode finishes a full map

So we can be reminded to click "again"

or whenever the game tells us that our dock is full

[blazing heart]

I like it but pls make that optional tho
Btw I can now finally agree on long Face researches needing improvement, the average of purple/gold researches does not seem to be 2/3 times the avg of blue researches from the admittedly rather small sample size I've looked at although I still don't agree with yall's weird overlap argument

[hearty crane]

It could be put under the same ill-named option that already does the vibrating thing if finishing a battle on auto

[velvet adder]

can we have operation siren tell us when things outside of it finish? opsi feels like its enclosed in its own game and its hard to know if things outside have finished (research, commissions, guild operations)

If we could get popups for those 3 things it would be nice, similar to the guild logistics mission popup, for commissions research and operations finishing

[north wave]

wait it exists?

[dull halo]

sure all comes back to rng for example how many nevadas dupes u get from pulling from builds

[inner frost]

[hearty crane]

There's "auto combat alert"

[primal valve]

<@&460646206851252224>

How about an option not to activate Siren Coordinate Logger instantly after buying them from shop

[dry sluice]

Hello! This is my thought.. In collabs they should up the %, (imo)? since they will not come back.. never, ever...

[hidden siren]

% of what? If you're talking about gacha rates, then there is an incredibly large financial incentive that would make any change unlikely. If you're talking about something different, could you clarify?

[dry sluice]

I mean, gacha rate, but not global! Just Collab stuff, since they will never ever come back again..

[regal ferry]

@naive cobalt

[velvet adder]

maybe a safety net would be good for collabs

similar to the UR's

more people would pull in collabs if they felt they were assured theyd get the ships i know for a fact a lot more people skip collab builds than normal event builds

[dry sluice]

Yeah, pitty pulls.. Not that expensive like UR, but yeah .. Would be amazing, rolling 300 cubes to dont get the only 1 elite left of the collab feels like throwing everything for nothing

[velvet adder]

yeah its certainly not good when theyre 1 time things

a lot of people dont pull for that reason, why bother if you cant get the whole collection?

[dry sluice]

Rate in azur is glorious, but theres the chance to NOT get even the elite u have left .... ^ Yeah

Like, 2.5% its soooo decent, but still, they will NEVER come back again, now for what? I have 0 cubes and ani banner is incoming

[high pond]

Better start mowing lawns and selling lemonade for cube money

[dry sluice]

I think buying cubes with ruby its the only thing ill never do on azur lane lol

Im not saying rate% is bad tho

Or atleast, the minimum change could be x1 cube per roll, idk, mostly of collabs gameplaying are bad/non decent

[velvet adder]

AL should just pump out more skins surely skins are their main revenue anyway, just pump em

[high pond]

Still waiting for Mutsuki bikini

[harsh spear]

I'm wondering when we will ever gain the access to the Central Atlantic Ocean in Siren Ops

[scenic flower]

We have to clear the sakura route first

[fluid grotto]

[harsh spear]

Maybe ewe

[leaden sonnet]

What about a option in gear

PvP build, which don't affect ur ship on pve. Kinda annoying swapping gear each time I go to pvp/farm

[harsh spear]

That's what I'm thinking but never came up too often ewe

[leaden sonnet]

That would be damn amazing ikr?

[winter hearth]

What about to add some new stuff to OS Lab? It wasn't updated already more than half Year and there is only little amount of useful stuff. So it would be a good thing to add some new stuff to OS Lab

[modest island]

think you mean gear lab but i agree nonetheless

[cloud sable]

i mean they did say that its planned so id just sit tight and wait

[modest island]

livestream on 8/10

[full umbra]

it would be cool to see the collection page expanded, I feel like it adds incentive to collect and limit break sets of ships and the dorm decorations are fun

even if it doesn't come with a ton of gem/equipment rewards, there's something satisfying about being able to see which sets of ships you've unlocked and maxed out

[bold python]

Was sad to find out that Belorussiya vanguard mitigation doesnt work in singular instances like pvp or META fight. Would be nic qol improvement for her.

[lilac shard]

Can we change the name of Baltimore's skill to the original since it's actually a reference to kamen rider?

and sounds cooler

also having the reference lost is kinda weird,

[undone swift]

Family Feature pls

[scenic flower]

Just auto-searched in obscured zone. And my fleet stepped THREE FKN TIMES in the same flame cell! How long should we tolerate this?

[fluid grotto]

unforgivable!

[hearty crane]

Can the OP shops season 1 be changes to season 4?

2. Did an E mission and got one WHOLE whooping print. This is embarassing. If you shred 45 prints for PR prints AT LEAST offer 3 or more. What the heck is one? I could have done 1h Q for that, not 6H and 45 prints...

[raw quest]

you can get season 1-3 in guild shop not season 4 though

[leaden sonnet]

Ops thing, imagine if u could get access to the port without needing to be just in front

[velvet adder]

i still dont get why its possible to get 3 bps from a 8 hour, even when its a pr and not a dr why isnt the base just 4? i know 8/2.5 isnt 4 but still 8 hours suck balls

theyre gold which makes u think wow shiny and good but theyre worse than the blue

i thought these were supposed to be "new and improved" too

[hearty crane]

Yes, that's why this is a suggestion 1 > 4

[raw quest]

when pr5 arrives then pr4 will get added

[fluid grotto]

that's what progression wall is, newer stuff meant to be harder to complete

[hidden cedar]

I feel like some of these options just breaks the flow of auto mode and are redundant.

[copper nest]

Isn't there "reduce tb messages" or something option, I don't get these dialogues

[hidden cedar]

Does it affect these ones? Thanks.

[hearty crane]

Thats the medal shop, we're talking the OP Guild shop

[scenic flower]

There's still a ton of blablabla, that could be skipped. Like Akashi one or when you're stuck in a whirlpool or opening speech in stronghold.

[sinful cloud]

The weather dialogues could be completely removed
She doesnt say jackshit of what they actually do and its just annoying

"Yes Akashi, I know that my fleet is on fire I have eyes"

[cursive horizon]

Akashi’s “mysterious merchant” lines were cute the first dozen times but now it just feels silly and pointless. All she needs to say is “Nya, Commander, fancy meeting you here! Wanna shop? Y/N?”

[still birch]

I'd even just have it go into the shop directly.

[worn mirage]

^

[cursive horizon]

I'd be okay with that, too. I think I saw somewhere, maybe here, about being able to enter the Ports from anywhere on the screen. That is also something I would be very okay with.

[sonic sun]

Add a pity system for event ships besides UR... you shouldn't have to spend more than the pity of a UR ship to get a SR or elite when you have bad luck

[scenic flower]

yeah. I wasted tons of cubes to get the useless purple sub Mami Futami just for my collection.

[cursive horizon]

It feels especially frustrating when you wind up with enough copies to MLB half of them and you're still missing one by the last day. Like others, I'm doing it not cause I care about that particular person, but because I play the game to try and collect as many of them as I can. Which also makes the "never again" part feel like those of us out to collect are punished all the harder.

[cursive horizon]

Oh, I wanted to ask: I didn't see it in the patch notes, but is the Crosswave tab gonna go away with this update?

[slate monolith]

Most likely since it was supposed to give people time to collect their rewards for it

[velvet adder]

I'm Lost account, How can Get Back my account :(

[void schooner]

You may want to try asking in #tech-support.

[serene arrow]

Allow destroyers to use fumo

[gray patrol]

This tbh and FuMO isn't stackable anyway

[kindred vessel]

The FuMo was installed on destroyers IRL too

[kindred vessel]

Can we please get ARM Mac support re-enabled, the game worked fine on M1 Macs and now I can't play it on my MacBook anymore because of the mandatory update

[hearty crane]

Yes

[cursive horizon]

Good to know. One less ❗ waiting for me when I load it up.

[copper nest]

New download method is ass, idk what it is, probably not servers since we would have problems every update (if it's servers then what happened that they're suddenly worse?), are they even testing their updates 😐

[hearty crane]

Well most maintenance people dont need to re download the entire game.

[copper nest]

Hopefully it will be resolved before game goes online

[undone swift]

More Storage optimisation features would be good in the future.

[real cobalt]

Um i dont know where to put this but ill move it if i have to, but Out of curiosity Will Roon's only skin make a return in the future?

[undone swift]

Yes.

[copper nest]

I know it's 1mb/s but it's funny it says just speed 1, units would be cool

[kindred vessel]

it shows units if your screen is wide enough

example:

[copper nest]

Nah

[scenic flower]

Bad example

[copper nest]

No units if it's exactly 1

For a while speed lowered below 1 and it showed units per second (also it took more place on screen so..)

[potent fractal]

The new battery saver feature for auto search forces your screen brightness to be at 50%, another option to turn this off, or at least turn it to the lowest brightness settings instead would be greatly appreciated. I'm not looking at my screen anyways when I auto so having it the lowest brightness is ideal to minimize the phone's heat accumulation.

[real cobalt]

2.5gig update i hope theres some QoL in this update also was not showing up in my updates in app store had to search the app to update it

[half stream]

is this correct channel to suggest a few in-game adjustments here ?

[odd wadi]

looks like im not the only one who got this problem

[kindred vessel]

yeah

I misunderstood it at first

[slim hull]

Does anyone knows a page about this?

[real cobalt]

yes its best to not mess with any of it.

[delicate lance]

that's just the voicelines files

[viscid cave]

Is the 2,5GB and the 1,8GB update going to stay with the game's size? Because I don't have 4 GB on my phone.

[copper nest]

It's mostly, if not only, replacing current game files so you should be fine(?)

[viscid cave]

For me the game is 6,2GB. So if I delete stuff to download the update and than redownload them than nothing should change right?

[delicate lance]

other than losing your gear preset and other preset. nothing else. make sure you binded your acc

[real cobalt]

It will take 5 years for it to download at this rate and internet is fine and so is my data but tbe game download refuses to go fast normally only takes 30 min max for an update like this.... Not 2+hrs

[sage geyser]

After the update my game crashed a few times. It mostly occurs when I quickly interact with different parts of the main-menu, so for example: I go to my dock, then back to the main-menu and then quickly go to my depot. I hope this is helpful

With kind regards

[hearty crane]

Its notifications.... AGAIN

[charred matrix]

Updated the game with snail-paced DL speed (took me ~2 hours on 100 Mbit WiFi), stuck on "Update complete. Loading game..." screen. Did a complete reinstall (2 GB from the store took me like 5-7 min) and in-game DL is again incredibly slow. Thanks for the missed day I guess.

[real cobalt]

Is there a reason the in game download is so slow this time? Im using the same internet i always use and irs been downloading since servers came back at 10am(give or take a few minutes).

[ornate basin]

its a known bug and your message is not really feedback

[nocturne flicker]

the bottom bar of the game could be higher up, so it would improve visually on some types of devices...

on priconne the iPhone bar doesn't make it difficult

[real cobalt]

well theres not any place for questions that involve the game and you dont need to add that last part, that is rude i all i did was a ask a question involving the update.

[ornate basin]

its not meant to be rude so sorry you took offense its just the truth, you are free to ask in #bug-reports or #tech-support or maybe even #gameplay-help but at the end of the day #game-feedback is not a helpdesk its for feedback and no questions

[viscid cave]

@ornate basin So can we take this that you already working on it? I mean there are a lot of frustrated players and for me I don't think with that speed I will be abel to collect my 3 daily cubes.

[wind marsh]

Same

[viscid cave]

I currantly downloading with 30-50 kb/s. My daily cubes are already gone. I suggest that we get cubes in our compensation please.

[primal valve]

we already got gems

[viscid cave]

that's not cubes

[primal valve]

gems>cubes

[velvet adder]

30kb/s dial up in 2021

[primal valve]

its not game prob its your net provider

get a better net provider bruh

[viscid cave]

@velvet adder I have a 500 mb/s router. But the ingame update comes with 30-50 KB/s but bullying helps a lot for my already F*cked up mental health. Thanks.

[velvet adder]

its okay calm down sir it will finish overnight youre gonna be just fine

[viscid cave]

Not in my night. In my country the turning point is 9 o'clock what going to be in 4 and a half hour. At that speed it's not going to happen so my daily cubes are gone.

[velvet adder]

theres some gems waiting for u ingame when u eventually get in, hopefully those will make up for the 3 cubes

[viscid cave]

I have 300 gems at the moment. So with that I going to have 500 gems. But if I buy the cubes for 300 gems I still going to be in minus.

[eternal bronze]

but with 100 more gems you can literally buy a ring

[viscid cave]

You know what? I f*cking will and marry my beautiful Ark Royal. I feel less bad now. Thanks.

[eternal bronze]

no worries

[dreamy nacelle]

I Wonder if yostar was Planning to Develop Des Moines???

[floral elm]

Are there any plans on reverting the iOS home button to the way it was before? It is now on constant mode so any little touch makes "you" return back to the phone's home screen. It used to be on a toggle mode where you would have to swipe up twice. It was more convenient that way in my opinion.

[vocal verge]

It's about time the stores refreshed their lists of ships. It's been the same for ages. Even the medal exchange pool is stale. After such a huge update, I was expecting more than just a rerun event.

[scarlet monolith]

#game-feedback message edinburgh still hasnt shown up on lexington :c

[primal valve]

F

[kindred vessel]

I am once again pleading for the ability to install Azur Lane natively again on M1 Macs. Game worked fine until mandatory update took away my ability to play on my laptop and there’s no functional Android emulators for ARM MacBooks

[hollow sand]

damage screen to show damage to ships and damage to planes separately when?

[gray patrol]

Parity change: again , pls make it so that lb0 ships can go up to lvl100 like in CN

[kindred vessel]

If you want parity I’d rather have the reduced XP required to get to 100 over that

[regal elm]

Dropping by to say, I like the system optimization brought to AL. It runs really smooth in my phone now, and it doesn't make my phone heat up as much as it used to be. Thank you, devs. Keep up the good work!

[hearty crane]

And CN's gold gear progression

[gray patrol]

Forgot to mention that but yeah mostly I want lb0 lvl100

[eternal bronze]

Yeah i noticed that aswell, AL used to run like garbage specially in OP S, glad they took their time to optimize their game.

[sonic jackal]

game is so much less stable since update

more frequent crashes, doesn't keep running during phone lock anymore

[eternal bronze]

i thought i was the only one having crashes

i guess its explained now

[turbid loom]

again we are faced with an update that was supposed to fix things and ended up reintroducing a major bug. Why is it that the games updates are almost always at least one step forward and one step back, if not more steps back? Why is proper QA a seemingly impossible task for the global team?

And again the team only uses twitter, at least this time its a full announcement, to tell people something that should be an alert in game

[hearty crane]

The last time around they send an ingame mail for this like... a week later 😦
Sadly no improvements, even if it shouldn't have resurfaced in the first place.

[sinful cloud]

At least we got smth, usually we have 0 communication

[scenic oyster]

Ugh, the no notification thing is killing my commissions -_-

[stone valley]

Move the UI up a little for iOS devices with the larger screen ratio… it’s pretty hard to see how much bp I have in the shipyard section, and tapping the buttons in general are harder

[blazing heart]

I just wanna say that I'm actually surprised by the shooting game, it's quite fun imo. Also I think the option to choose one minigame is great since it allows players to choose what they like best (Pls make the food order thing at least slightly challenging though)

[regal elm]

If you're running it in Android, likely cuz of the notification bug. Turn it off until the fix is out

[sonic jackal]

notification bug?

turn notifications off in game or in android settings?

[regal elm]

Either is fine. I turned off all the notifs in-game. The notif bug is crashing the game, as per #game-news

[sonic jackal]

ah good to know, thanks

[kindred rain]

No wonder i wasn't getting notifications for completed commission. Phone also warned me

[floral elm]

A fellow iOS user I see. Yeah the constant toggle for the update messed it up. In the previous version we could at least hover it over so we could see more but now we just get sent to the Home Screen

[stone valley]

yeah, i was just trying to check anchors bp while seeing my progress for her, and I would just "hover" it. Depot exists to see bp, but depot also is still kinda hard to tap on my phone

[gusty rapids]

since the android app update, my battery has been draining much faster than normal and the entire device is running sluggish, even when the app is not open (and not open in the background, either)
I did disable notifications, yes, but the problem persists

I then got a system battery life notification which suggested I do this:

apparently just having the application on your device eats away at your battery and cpu

[naive cobalt]

@gusty rapids Can you please report it as a bug and make sure to specify your device/OS.
I'll ask devs to look into it.

[gusty rapids]

to belfast bot, you mean?

[gusty rapids]

sent

[velvet adder]

we fuck boats

[agile quartz]

A mechanic where we can scrap PR ships and their BP tasks disappear from the Research Lab. Similar to how it happens when you Dev 30 a PR ship
It'll make it much easier to focus on one ship and get rid of ones that are kinda trash like Ägir

[copper nest]

That would require developing unwanted character (resources and time wasted), what about idk blacklist?

[sinful cloud]

The blacklist sounds much better imo
Been doing PR2 for a while and would be so much nicer if I could make Georgia researchs not appear, they gave other prints before but now they're useless since im never touching her (same will be for Anchor on PR4)

And the ability to scrap prints before dev30 would be great too

[copper nest]

At the end of the day they want you to "catch them all" so probably will never happen

[sinful cloud]

Unfortunately

[ionic matrix]

Could we maybe get a balance pass on some of the old war archive events? The D3 enemies in Fallen Wings are doing what seems/feels like way too much damage to a level 100 fleet, for only being enemies topping out at 94 (non-boss). It feels more like I'm fighting level 105 or 110 enemies with a level 100 fleet. Heinrich, Eugen, Mainz (I'm grinding IB exp for Odin/Parseval/Aegir), all get pretty much decimated by two elites with Graf Zeppelin's DR buff.

[void schooner]

You don't significantly out-level them, so it shouldn't be that much of surprise that they're doing work on your fleets.

[scenic flower]

please remind me, how to sugguest something via Belfast. And where.

[pure gyro]

North Carolina's [View details] dialog ---Being stared like that makes a bit shy--- it feels like its missing 2 or 3 words (at, me, (feel))

[primal valve]

[scenic flower]

[hollow sand]

no limit on hard mode stages but only get core data for the first 3 a day

[primal valve]

Whats the point of 'hard mode'then?

[ionic matrix]

But the only other place I've seen this kind of damage from enemies that are roughly that close in level are in the campaign maps when they're not safe. Recent events, elites of that level don't do that much damage to my level 100 ships. In fact, most of the time they come out of 5-6 fights with over half their HP.

[round verge]

Drop only ship

[queen barn]

can we get claim all button for weekly mission ?

[primal valve]

Bruh

[hearty crane]

I guess they want easy SR drop farming? Or a ton of retrofit blueprints. There's a lot of pro's to Hard aside Core Data.

[sinful cloud]

Talking about retro bps, I still dont get why the devs have an obsession with dividing every item into the most specific to end up being useless after a bit as passed
The most that use gold retro bps are UR retros... and we got 2 of them... in 4 years that the game exists

Even if it aint to just put as "general retro bp" for everything, you could have divided it into "general category bp" or "general rarity bp"... besides Indenpendence I cant think of another carrier that uses the gold carrier bps
Its either that or capping an item in the most dumb/annoying away (like the x2 plan being 30 per month and not even counting thats behind the most boring thing)

Retros are already far in between that by the time one releases, you already have enough for 3 more

[scenic flower]

I have tons of golden BPs, and I don't know what to do with them. I could just retro everything I have, but I capped by gold. This is the only resource, that is always close to zero. Everything else is overflowed.

[fresh dagger]

How does a feedback actually gets implemented ingame

Like is there a specific vote number it had to meet?

[copper nest]

Nah, there's no such thing

[fresh dagger]

Aw

[regal elm]

they just implement it whenever it's feasible for them to do so.
I had suggested auto dialogue before, and it got implemented two years later.

[fresh dagger]

Damn

I just want Newcastle

Missed out on the rerun

[copper nest]

Eventually it will return

[cobalt mortar]

Hello, does anyone know if Crimson Echoes gets another rerun?

[kindred vessel]

no

[cobalt mortar]

You don't know it or no Rerun?

[kindred vessel]

events don't get 2nd reruns.

eventually they get archived after their rerun, usually around a year or more later.

[cobalt mortar]

Ok but the ships don't return right?

[obtuse breach]

its already archived on CN/JP and should be the next archive on EN

archive = event gets added permanently to the game (the event maps and ships added to normal gacha)

[cobalt mortar]

Ah ok thank you

[frigid yacht]

I would be real nice if we ever got some recognition for the large portion of EU based EN players. EU players already have to deal with awful reset times and middle of the day maintenance, and now we get our "celebratory" anniversary stream at 5am at night... C'mon Yostar, you can do better than this.

[void schooner]

Time zones are a pain. Someone's always going to get screwed, no matter when they choose to do it.

[frigid yacht]

I mean... Putting the EN anniversary stream at a time when all the EN players are awake doesn't sound like a stretch...

[kindred vessel]

It's literally imposssible due to the sheer number of SEA players

[frigid yacht]

Are we just gonna pretend that there's more SEA players on the EN servers than european players?

[kindred vessel]

SEA and NA combined? Probably.

The timing of the live stream is fine for SEA and NA.

(and Central America)

[void schooner]

Well, if you find that sweet spot for time that works for everybody across the entire world, let them know. Maybe they'll accommodate.

[kindred vessel]

They clearly have data that shows there's less players in Europe than either of the 2 other areas so

[void schooner]

And don't they upload the entire livestream to youtube once they're finished? If they do, people can watch it when it's convenient for them.

[velvet adder]

can it be made if i focus a research i only get those research i dont really get why i only get 3 of them

if i wanted the other researches id have yknow selected to focus those

just forced slowdown of my progression for no reason

making me choose trashy researches, i cant even whale if i wanted to

[acoustic helm]

^this.... and ye I always thought the current focus system was kind of stupid, at this point they should call it 'partial focus'

[narrow sage]

Dragons, Sara, I think the BBV retro also uses a few. I think the two PR4 carriers also need some.

Now gold BB retro blue prints on the other hand.... that doesn't find much use due to the devs' seeming alergy to actually releasing BB retrofits.

[sinful cloud]

Dragons?
Forgot about Sara (and tbh keep the BBVs as BBs... they could have been smth so much better) and yeah the PRs + the bunnies I guess, but still even with doing most of that, a bunch of them are rotting in the depot

[sinful cloud]

Now that you mention them, went to check the BBVs requirement and they use more BB bps than CV ones
Also ironically using 1 more gold CV than the only rare carrier with a retro, 10/10 logic

[finite dome]

what if Yostar runs out of references to create a new ship character?

[velvet adder]

polaris 3

[undone hull]

They've got thousands more to work through, probably not an issue for another decade at least.

[kindred vessel]

I think you underestimate just how many naval ships were built for WW2

just Canada had over 400 naval vessals

[primal valve]

Suggestion to make coloured greeting as a feature

[copper nest]

Can't wait to have 100+ rare fletcher class dds with identical skills

[copper nest]

This is cool, maybe send it through bot so we can upvote

[primal valve]

okie

[hearty crane]

cough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6PFGd2Oq_Y&t=11s cough

[cloud sable]

just a reminder as well that the devs are willing to insert completely paper ships, of which theres a crapton.
examples like prinz heinrich, strasser, kii, suruga

[primal valve]

i did that
I mean feature without writing the code

[kindred vessel]

don't forget 71 American Escort Carriers all worse than Long Island

[hasty mountain]

you will have handed down your account to your grandgrandgrandgrandchild by the time we reach half that amount of fletchers... probably

[copper nest]

Looks like greetings message also supports italics with

<i>text</i>

so there's lots of options there (I think) limited with character limit

<u> underlined text doesn't work for example

[primal valve]

[primal valve]

I hope we get any 1 SSR for free for 3rd anniv

[worn mirage]

Be nice if they added girls like Shangri'la and other SSR's to the invite pool they do
don't get me wrong, getting Enty, Smolspite and such is great for new players but for many of us who've been playing for a while the current roster doesn't really add much

[primal valve]

getting Hood

[velvet adder]

they should add bache to the free invite pool honestly, and to the core data and guild shop too

its hard to get a crumb of bache lately

[primal valve]

why Bache tho

[cursive horizon]

Last time I suggested them adding some other SSRs to the invites I got hell for it, but at this point I have all the non W-13 ships.. I don't know who I'd suggest anyways. Tashkent would be a nice SSR to get, but only cause I think she's a great ship.

[velvet adder]

they should at least add the perma event ones like washy minnea massa etc that were added to the pool le malin too

[primal valve]

le malin is in light construction

[winter hearth]

What about to add a BB gun which can damage subs? Something like Type 3 Shells. This will be funny

[void schooner]

You'd want to use a BB shot on a sub?

[scenic flower]

ONLY on subs

[copper nest]

Any gun can do it, just wait for them to surface, that's really pointless and will introduce another type 3 shell aka useless gear no one wants

[primal valve]

logically wtf but since this is a game so why not

[velvet adder]

how come a print costs 1500 in pr1 but when i spend 8000 on a project i only get 3 prints

[sinful cloud]

Cause you get some useful gear with it

[sinful cloud]

Saw ppl here talking about the stream time (same problem here cries in caralho ) but even if they did an European time, since its the middle point of the zones, one is still getting late at night/early in the morning
Would be nice to at least not take a few days to archive the stream like usual tho

[high pond]

Just be awake at 5/6am ez

[sinful cloud]

4am for me but still shit

[hasty mountain]

4am am I thinking of a different caralholand?

[sinful cloud]

Isnt there only 1?

[hasty mountain]

stream should be at midnight for BRUHzil no?

[sinful cloud]

First time I see brazil be called that ngl, always been Portugal for me

[hasty mountain]

both are caralhos

[sinful cloud]

[silver depot]

2nd Anni stream was uploaded as a video + with subtitles in ~12 hours last anniversary, not a few days, so should be fine if it's similar this year

[sinful cloud]

Probably confused it with a JP stream then, would still like to watch it live but timezones screw it
Hoping this one doesnt take much to archive then

[cursive horizon]

Wanted to say that the little anniversary teasers with Sayaka Harada & Yui Ishikawa were very cute. I know it's not game feedback, per se, but it's game-related and I wasn't sure where else to say this. Despite my sometimes being critical of the game, I definitely appreciate the love that goes into stuff like the animations (both in-game and promo vids) and other between/behind the scenes stuff like interviews. Still secretly hoping for that enemy gallery at some point, though.

[autumn fox]

is there a feedback i can upvote to add a collect all button to this thing, so i don't have to tap claim 20 times every tuesday? (+20 to dismiss the reward popups, +4 for the bulin popups, and potentially +3 if spec points are at 4k/4k already)

[kindred rain]

Did the newest play store update fix the background/notification crashes and high battery usage?

[stone valley]

yeah the timezomes.. all the event steam times are at like 4 am for me and I always miss them (I live in PST) but the livestream is at 8 pm for me (daily reset is at 12 am so it’s right on time as a reset ) sucks that time zones exist… really annoying for people having a game reset at 4 pm but sadly this isn’t really a Thing that can be changed

[velvet adder]

As far as i know, anniversary Livestream can be rewatched

[inner frost]

It's more an issue of people wanting to watch it live but can't due to time zones

[kindred vessel]

There’s 3 different major areas EN players come from and they’re all 8 hours apart from each other somebody is getting fucked no matter what

[gloomy ingot]

Better advertistment

[primal valve]

wym

[regal ferry]

The AL ads are kinda misleading ngl

[regal elm]

Most global ads are gonna be misleading, anyway

[primal valve]

misleading ads always work

[velvet adder]

i always thought misleading ads were illegal in europe but i guess not

[acoustic helm]

Add an option to get upgrade parts back from a gear by paying a reasonable amount of gold and without scrapping the gear. This way we can at least get the parts back in-case we use them on gears we don't want.

[velvet adder]

can an announcement go out about when merch dropping if u guys didnt already have one planned already, i needa me the bache plushie

[halcyon rose]

[fleet salmon]

An absolute heresy I will never be able to unsee

[void schooner]

For the curious, what is it, and why is it absolute heresy that you will never be able to unsee?

[inner frost]

Thanks, I hate it

[fleet salmon]

The ugly smudge on her belly, a poorly made bellybutton censorship, I presume

Notice how the area above it is glossy and then suddenly you have a matte grey blob

[sinful cloud]

Still not as bad as Abruzzi skin, wonder when they are going to put her bellybutton in the right place

Also ty for the NC skin but watched the preview a few times and pls dont use the water balloon boobs, it looked bad before and looks bad now

[cursive horizon]

The water balloons is half of the reason I hate bunny girl costumes in the first place, I was really hoping we'd be done and move onto a different theme, like detectives or something wholesome..
Oh, and thank you for the Ark Royal retrofit. The way her chest looks strikes me as a tad odd, but I'm pretty sure it's just the perspective. I'm really happy to see her get some much needed love.

[sinful cloud]

Veneto has the same problem so it aint for the bunny suits only
Dont know how they managed to go from smooth physics animations to smth that looks like it lags half the time

[fierce ember]

"hmmm yes,lets give already meta CV a retrofit (basically second try with her meta being a thing) instead of...i dunno
maybe try and bring some USS elite bbs to SR level so they wont have just 3 usable bbs?(which btw one is a UR and one is a PR and last one is just best on the pile of crap) if you are not even trying to give full reworks to y1/y2 ships that actually need them bcs their kit was either outdated or not designed well from the start,just give it to ark lol"
the only means i see ark needing a retrofit is when slow becomes a mass side utility mechanic and her "exclusivity" as part of 3 big slows fades,now its a waste of retrofit slot and nothing more then that

[fluid grotto]

forgot to set up lecture hall for 2 days since weekend , they really need to make in game reminder of this

[trim notch]

Could we get more secretary spots?

[slate monolith]

Don't we have enough secretary spots already?

[high pond]

Ark retro is the greatest thing ever teased on anniversary streams, now we just need Mutsuki class oath skins, preferrably wearing bikini / the outfit Minnie oath wears

[kindred vessel]

I love the Ark Royal Retrofit art design preview shown on the stream and on the Twitter

[trim notch]

Never enough

[fluid grotto]

amen brother

[cursive horizon]

I was very disappointed with the "tattered" look of Minneapolis' oath outfit. I hope they don't do that again. But I agree that we need more oath gowns, so many of them. And.. looking at it again, she looks unhappy in her oath gown, like she doesn't like it.

[copper nest]

No

Ark retro looks cool and badass 👍

So microlayer rerun is coming but what about northern overture that was before it?

[regal elm]

Northern Overture Rerun comes with the time Sandy and Avrora were locked out
Well, why not, we had Ashen Simulacrum rerun pushed back before

[copper nest]

But that was microlayer event with 24h+ maintenance I don't remember something like this in overture

And yeah sure, I just hope they won't forget 🤣

[regal elm]

The first two or three days of Northern Overture, Sandy and Avrora players were unable to enter the server becuz some guy(s) macro-ed the servers.

It made the staff working day and night to get it sorted

And it was during the time pandemic began to hit, too

[sinful cloud]

Better to have bunny reno with her event so ppl can actually use it instead of doing it like Khovorod... good idea putting a retro without giving newer players the option to get the ship

Would rather have Overture too but not a bad decision again

[copper nest]

I'm playing on sandy and I really don't remember, but I know I had some kind of compensation with event points so yeah that was it, maybe it's because I was still new back then or I didn't play during this by coincidence (I never finished event story that's why I'm looking forward to rerun)
Thanks for letting me know or actually reminding me idk, I'll stop going offtopic now

[regal elm]

Also, considering Northern Overture's skins were mostly jail skins, rerunning it along with bunny skins seems inappropriate. I can hear Russian players being salty over this if this was the case

[raw quest]

gulag theme was awesome imo

[sinful cloud]

Im just happy with Ark's retro and NC skin (still not liking the physics on the preview)
Just wished that they released skins for event locked ships only with the event, I want to buy some skins but not having the possibility to get said ship always turns me down since idk if ill continue playing until the rerun thus dont want to waste money

Then waiting for the skin to come back is... annoying

[worldly wagon]

Can we get compatibility with Mac M1's again please? I've been using the game on my Mac via Rosetta 2 and having fun, but with the latest mandatory updates I am unable to update the game for this platform.

[cursive horizon]

I never want to see another prison theme again. As much as I hate the bunny girl theme, I'd rather have it than seeing them in chains looking distraught or defeated. Speaking of outfits and themes, I'm surprised none of the festival ones were available during the Summer Festival Rerun.

[copper nest]

That new "mysterious" meta ship looks cool and all but what about giving us something with torps so we can finally for the first time use torpedo enchancing mats

[primal valve]

WashingtonReno bunny

[undone swift]

Divorce system.

[hearty crane]

Reno skin runs with the Reno event though, just with a 1 week early acess option?

[hearty crane]

Disagreed. Gimme my Tashkent in bondage bit still with her signature jacket...

[sinful cloud]

Thats what I was saying good about it, meant other skins like the russian pijamas that came with Khovorod when the ships are only from Overture

[hasty mountain]

prison theme is appropriate need to put these ships in horny jail every now and then

[bronze elk]

Good set of skins to be released this round keep it up with the (subsequent) releases!

[winter hearth]

So, I noticed that Pr4 wasn't a topic people spoke a lot about like about another events. Also it seems like you don't get any money from new PR because there is no way to be monetized. PR are free. So I suggest to add new PR as a part of event. Something like event only for them, where we will have some SP stages with some plot where PR ships are, so we could know their character better. Also it makes sense to do something like milestone in this event with experience gained for PR ships, so people will be more motivated to farm new ships. And imo the most important point. It makes sense to add skins to new PR. I mean, the only way to monetize PR is to give skins, so adding skins on release can 1. give more interests for players because of horny beautiful skins and 2. this will allow to monetize PR ships and don't have something like last month, where incoming are sunk because it was only one event possible to monetize.

[copper nest]

time limited pr ship to grind? do I get this right?

[winter hearth]

No

You can grind their elsewhen. But 1-2 weeks the whole exp gained for new PR will go also to milestone for extra rewards

[sinful cloud]

A PR dedicated event sounds interesting, could put some prints instead of the gold ship drop

[hearty crane]

Oh we talked about PR. Then the mods told us to shut up. And your "PR" is the D3 ship, but with 1 year to farm prints, even dilluting it more? Yeah no.

[sinful cloud]

As for monetization, well Mainz is being the new Sanrui... dont make her a lamppost like Odin if you really give her a skin (put riggings on the chibis )

[charred matrix]

sigh, someone pointed at the black blob in Marco Polo's art and now I literally can't unsee it

it looks so out of place

[eternal bronze]

more retrofits in the game would be better

game is still lacking content for veterans and one of the things that keeps players engaged with it are retrofits

i still do not understand why they lowered down the amounts of retrofits per year so much

the Italians didn't even get a single one

when minor factions are supposed to get some

[copper nest]

can we get more detailed patch notes instead of this?

[sinful cloud]

[hearty crane]

Something about the 5 billion tabs you need to go through for them, but I assume it'll still suck (especially needing to still need to fight 2 0XP fleet to waste your Tokens to get more useless OPS coins... weeeeh).

While we're at it optimise stuff like needing to confirm you want to blow up weather towers in hidden zones. What else would you do with them? Weather towers in every other map dont ask you if you want to, and they are less vital than hidden zone ones to destroy...

[formal oyster]

I guess balance suggestions aren't likely to be heard at all, but can't win if you don't try so... I'd like to suggest switching Reno's limit break bonus from Torpedo+1 to Main gun +1.
Right now her bonus makes no sense considering the rest of the ship's design. She has a gun efficiency buff skill and can even equip DD guns, why waste such a rare design like that by giving her Torpedo +1 when both her torpedo stat and efficiency are outright bad and irrelevant to the ship.

Such a simple change would make her a lot more viable without breaking anything. And everyone likes her, both the playerbase and the dev team apparently, seeing as she continuously gets love here and there.
We love her and want to use her more, pwease

[modest island]

do that to eugen as well

[sinful cloud]

Guess im not everyone

[formal oyster]

Yeah it's always a bit exaggerated to include everyone in one's argument, but I honestly see very little people that don't love or at least like her in some way. But to each their own, of course

[rose adder]

Not getting any party dresses or even the big skin sale like CN Anni just did is... really disappointing, honestly. I’ve had gems waiting to spend for months.

I know JP Anni is really soon but I don’t really see a reason to cut ours down so short. It could be spread out a bit more evenly.

Doesn’t need to be a UR to be a good anni, doesn’t even need to be a new event. I’m fine with the rerun but not getting the normal anniversary content hurts.

[topaz breach]

can we get a divorce functionality

[formal oyster]

Unfortunately there's only so much content they can pump in a short amount of time. And they give that to JP instead, which is understandable in a way. It's just unfortunate that our anniversaries are so close to each other

[hearty crane]

The only way to change that is outspend JP and... good luck with that.

[rose adder]

It’s not like we won’t get the skins when they inevitably release for JP anni, so it’s whatever I guess. But the skin shop sale isn’t content, so it’d have been cool to at LEAST get the same dang thing CN just did in that department. I was looking forward to picking up some I missed.

And I stand firm on that. It ain’t content, it takes no devtime. So why refuse it

It just feels like rather than “save the good stuff” for JP An, they cut EN down even more than it was already going to be 😔

[hearty crane]

They might think anni and black friday is close together, and bf is more known for this? Just speculating.

[rose adder]

I don’t really think anniversaries being close to each other in time is enough of an excuse to bone one of them, honestly. It’s ONLY acceptable because events show up on all 3 servers so “in practice” it doesn’t really end up mattering, content wise.

[formal oyster]

Yeah I do agree that it would be a good opportunity to rerun some skins at the very least. Where are the Race Queens

[high pond]

We'll get the skin sale with JP anni

[ionic matrix]

(put riggings on the chibis HelenaPlease )

This, 1000%.

They look so much better with some kind of rigging on their chibis

[formal oyster]

As an option would be cool, especially since they sometimes have different animations with rigging on.

[ionic matrix]

Agreed. I'd love to at least see a rerun of the RQ skins (need that Takao RQ), and new RQ skins, but they don't take new skin suggestions here

Maybe this has been suggested before, but since we have the secretaries group, how about expanding on it a bit and making Secretary sets?

We could have like, 4 presets where we could save 3-5 secretaries in a group, so it's quick and easy to swap between secretaries.
Maybe also add a function where you could have the sets randomly rotate each week or day?

[elder garnet]

can you guys make hq mobilization request to be done without needing to find returnee? I know it can be done by creating alt acc but dang that's to tad tedious. make the whole quest done by one commander only.

[hasty mountain]

with today's research I have a reached a point where I can 100% clear PR2 with just the remaining catch-up prints alone, so I changed research focus to PR3
alas, first batch of new researches posted contained one for a PR2 ship
sir, I'll kindly ask you to not give me researches for seasons previous to the one I selected as focus

[narrow sage]

There's actually a way to do that without an alt, though it does limit the sets to 2/3 its full. (click on the antenna thing)

[pure violet]

I got all of those outfits during the Black Friday flash sale, as well as a few other outfits. Oh, my wallet was PISSED.

[elder garnet]

the sent button right? but still can't get you through phase 30 rewards without returnee or alt, I wanna get all the skin gears rewards.

[narrow sage]

then try to find a returnee or such; it shouldn't be hard for an EN player.

[slate monolith]

[hearty crane]

I've only ever heard people completing it using alts. That's simply the only way.

[regal ferry]

[hearty crane]

This started with Ritchy's cat but... when can we buy L2D cats to grace our main menu, regardless of shipgirl?

[cursive horizon]

I agree, seeing the cats as part of outfits like U-556's party outfit is nice. I'd love to see some animated cats. Hell, even some animated Meowccifer shenanigans might be cute. (Also the odds of finding a player who left and wants to come back seems kinda low? I'll just stick with using my own ID)

[primal valve]

Please dont be starter ship or ship in construction pools

It got a tiny zoom glitch on the return to port action but ty so much for NC's skin

I think NC's line for introduction/acquisition and love affinity in her bunnygirl skin is different, but why do they share the same subtitles xD

[regal ferry]

every few minutes i get locked into loading

[peak portal]

its already 3rd anniv,where the hell is Lil Sandy and Michisio??? how can i get 100%??

[copper nest]

What happened with speed? It was neat to know, easier to spot issues 😐

[undone moat]

You think we could have a return of this?

[raw quest]

some of those are from the event shop IIRC in divergent

[undone moat]

Yes the are, but I've been playing since December 2019 and I haven't even had a chance to buy it

[vernal latch]

it would be nice if furniture had reruns like certain other parts of game too

[paper meteor]

yeah, I started early 2020 and haven't had a chance to get it, would love to have some way to get those furnitures since everything else and even the Rainbow Mag torp is now available

[grizzled ivy]

i agree with ppl above, limited furnitures rerun (like event ones) would be cool for those who missed those.

the beer bath is quite wanted

Next time the wishing well comes around, can we sort it by "not collected" as we can in the memento?

not sure where to ask this but
does the azur lane 3rd anniversary 10s video need sound?

or is it fine if it's soundless

because i play muted

[ruby robin]

However unintentional it may have been, my eyes thank you greatly for dimming the battle rewards screen background.

[cursive horizon]

Love the Juju Wrangler. One of the cuter, and mercifully less complicated, minigames that is nonetheless charming and fun.

[median berry]

Buff the skill 'Interference' :)))

[ionic matrix]

Would it be possible to see Astoria's "Nasty Asty" skill changed so it's a self buff even without other NO-class ships present? I know we've got a couple of really good NO-class girls now with SanFran and Minnie, but I like to run themed fleets sometimes and Astoria is the only one with a bunnygirl skin. So her being able to buff herself somewhat with that first skill even without her sister ships present would be nice.

[void schooner]

San Francisco has one too.

Point still stands, though.

[timid temple]

Yostar should add a battle skipping option. Right when you tweak your formation, just before the loading screen, an option to have the battle play out automatically. You would see a chance of winning, and the estimated damage taken why your ships. And that would be it, no loading screen, no leaving your phone playing the game itself, it's just done and that's it.
The obvious disadvantage of this system would be that your fleet will perform much weaker, even weaker than playing auto. That will encourage players to build even stronger fleets, or play the game manually to save oil.
I love Azur Lane, but i can't help but address the elephant in the room: the core gameplay is boring! No, not the bossfight, the grind. And I don't play a game that's boring. But here's the deal: I don't mind it. I love the resource management part of AL, I love tinkering with fleets. I played a great deal of Total War games, where I used auto-battles fairly often. It would work perfectly with AL, and would prevent player burnout. Most players don't get tired of the game itself, just the grinding. And even the grinding part is only tiresome, when you have to spend hours doing nothing just glaring at your phone, watching the game playing itself.

Maybe putting the battle skipping option to a condition, like 0% danger level or something like that

[crystal stone]

The following is provided as both feedback (concerning a certain line) and as a notice to players that the Japanese-to-English translation, based on the voice lines, sometimes do not entirely convey the proper meaning.

One notable one that I am astonished no one has mentioned is the "Love" line of Ark Royal's wedding skin "Pure-White Protector."

I have personally not oathed her, but I did notice this line recently in a random twitter post and even disregarded it as a 3rd-party edit at first.

It is translated as such:
"Since we've grown so intimate, I assume it's now safe to tell you that I've become… r-r-rather intimate with the little destroyers too! Of course, you are still number one in my heart, Your Excellency!"

Who the hell translated it to have such an obvious pedophilic interpretation!? It can't just be me, right!!? I am well aware of her somewhat "lolicon" personality that has been hyperbolized through memes and such, but every single one of her actual voice lines & translations have been rather ambiguous for the most part.

The original "Love" line is this in Japanese:
"閣下と親密な関係になったからには、く、 くく駆逐艦の妹たちとも親密な関係になっ たと言えるよな!?...もちろん、閣下のこ 一番だぞ!"

The corresponding romaji would be (for the sake of convenience for those that do not know Japanese):
"Kakka to shinmitsuna kankei ni nattakaraniwa, ku, kuku kuchiku-kan no imōto-tachi tomo shinmitsuna kankei ni natta to ieru yo na! ? ... Mochiron, kakka no ko ichibanda zo!"

関係に or shinmitsuna kankei varies significantly based on the context from close-relationship (family, friends, etc.) to one of a more romantic nature. It should have been reflected in the English translation.

A better interpretation for those that despise what they have made Ark Royal into would be:
"Since we have become much closer, Your Excellency, you can say that I have become much closer with my little destroyer sisters too! Your Excellency is still number one, of course!"

[pure violet]

I get that Yostar likes to lean into the whole Destroyercon gag...but this is just plain overboard. Like seriously, what the fuck?

[inner frost]

I prefer that they show us what she is rather than trying to downplay it

[pure violet]

Okay, I just did a little sniffing around on the Wiki, and it's an unofficial, third-party translation. Here's what's on the official Wiki:
Affinity (Love) (JP - Translated):
I-if I was a little closer with Your Excellency, I could get in contact with destroyers more.... N-n-naturally it would have to be an agreement between Your highness and me, an agreement! I, I... I see no problems with it! How about you, Your Excellency!
Affinity (Love) (EN):
If I were closer to you, Commander, I could get closer with the destroyers too... Of... of course, that can only happen with your approval. I'm more than happy to help you with destroyer inspections! Is that all right, commander?

But the dicey one is actually Affinity (Stranger) (JP)...
I-I'm going to say this in advance, but destroyer girls... u-um... they get me turned o-, I mean, they are things I hold dear. But I know to mind my manners. I-it's not like I'm conducting a crime!
This is downplayed in the EN version, but only by a little:
I... I'm going to say this in advance, but... those destroyer girls... u-um... I kid of... I mean... I kind of hold them dear... I know how to mind my manners... It's not... it's not a crime!

@crystal stone Hope this sufficiently addresses your above concerns.

[cunning zinc]

Hi there, do you know when we will have bunny Abercrombie skin?

[kindred vessel]

It’s been delayed until next week due to some sort of issue, apparently

[elder sedge]

please fire whoever updated azur lane to this crap

[pure violet]

Too much Oil? NOT IN AMERICA, THAT'S FOR SURE

[kindred vessel]

@elder sedge you're at the oil hardcap what's there to understand? It's been in place since day 1.

[crystal stone]

My message is that it does not have to be interpreted in such a lolicon fashion.

In this line she still refers to them as little sister destroyers and the previous "Love" line is still vague on what being "closer" entails.

Granted that the "Stranger" line actually uses "はつじょ…" or "はつじょう", meaning sexual excitement, this is vastly different than claiming to be actively intimate with them.

I just think that I would best to refrain from using such a word with such a connotation.

[pure violet]

Oh, I totally agree with that last statement.

[hearty crane]

It's been shown as MM event skin in the stream? So what delay?

[kindred vessel]

It was originally going to be added with this maintenance yesterday as I understood

[hearty crane]

@crystal stone You know being intimate has more meanings than just fucking, right?

[ornate basin]

I think this addresses that:

Granted that the "Stranger" line actually uses "はつじょ…" or "はつじょう", meaning sexual excitement, this is vastly different than claiming to be actively intimate with them.

[elder sedge]

but it doesnt block mail and commision, until last update, learn to understand

[naive cobalt]

Original point is that english text is more explicit than japanese text which they claim is somewhat more vague.
The word "intimate" has this vagueness.

[kindred vessel]

It always did, you could never go above 25k oil

[cursive horizon]

My aunt used to have a Shiba Inu that would get exceedingly horny after spending time around kittens we'd rescue and keep in the house until finding them homes, but he didn't do anything that'd put them in jeopardy, just hump a stuffed animal he liked. I think Ark is kinda like this. The Destroyers (and note this includes girls like Cygnet and Naganami) excite her and she'd happily hug them and be close but I absolutely do not believe she would go that far or harm them in any way. That's how I've always read into her dialogue.

[naive cobalt]

There's soft cap and hard cap for oil and coins.
Soft cap doesn't prevent you from claiming mail.
Hard cap does.
You simply reached hard cap

[hearty crane]

But what does CN say? As always EN and JP translate from CN, and then people compare JP to EN. Sometimes its JP that changes stuff up. Still intimate is vaguer than implied by the user here, and I personally do not read in said line what the user does.

[hearty crane]

Sounds like the EN translation is accurate then. Another case of JP changing it up...

[elder sedge]

thanks for advice i bought 999 festival food and now its normal

[velvet adder]

Are you sure JP translates from CN? Because as far as I am aware CN also uses the Japanese audio so it would make sense to think the "original" is the one that is actually being spoken in all 3 servers.

[cursive horizon]

"So intimate there is no space" also describes a hug or embrace, it doesn't need to be sexual.

[primal valve]

What if Bullins doesnt count towards dock space?

[raw quest]

yes pls

[cursive horizon]

It would certainly help a lot of us out.

[high pond]

Based Ark

[hearty crane]

This is a Chinese game

[velvet adder]

Yes. I know

@hearty crane so, what leeds you to believe that JP (mis)translates from CN when the original Audio was produced in japanese?

[ornate basin]

the voice lines are recorded after lines are produced, this is fact @velvet adder

[velvet adder]

One would expect so, they don't guess them at the studio. What i mean is, those lines were green lit by the people at manjuu Before they are recorded, why would the person who inputs the text in JP translate from the CN script when they are already being handed the official script in japanese

[kindred vessel]

What he means is the lines are initially done in Chinese and translated by the JP staff for the VA to record.

[velvet adder]

That's a big assumption. Imo it is more likely that they send them the script in japanese all the way from China. I am not saying this is the way it is, in fact my original message was inquiring hunter what made him so sure of his position, else he would just be speculating just as much

[hearty crane]

No assumptions, they've previously stated on several occassions this is exactly how it is. Several times EN translations also made it into the game for unvoiced lines, which were then pulled in hotfixes as well.

[velvet adder]

i feel like the en translations are usually more excessive than needed

especially when it comes to like sexual stuff

theyre usually more harsh and condecending sometimes

it could be another case of jp doing its own thing though and cn/en being consistent

but id much rather be along the lines of jp translations personally though

id rather it fits the audio of the voiceline than the cn original line (since i think on some occasions the cn original lines are literally different to the audio recorded somehow)

[sinful cloud]

As long as they dont completely change them or put the braindead memes in there, fine by me

[copper nest]

I wish rally event had ! notification that you need to check it to activate next mission

[regal elm]

I agree, there should be a notification for that, been missing some days of it because of that

[velvet adder]

the fact that you need to actually go into it to "activate" the missions is so dumb, no other thing in AL requires you to do this

What about to add Oktoberfest skins?

[jolly jacinth]

We don’t take suggestions for skins~ sorry

[crystal stone]

This will be my last comment concerning this matter.

Because Ark Royal actually mentions sexual arousal in one of her lines and that "being intimate" is a very common euphemism in English, this translation of this particular interpretation should be quite obvious.

Back to that line in question. "shinmitsuna kankei ni natta" uses the past indicative tense and is present in both parts.

However, the middle part contains "言えるよな" which ends in な (na).This has a few different meanings depending on the context:
1) Wonder (e.g. I wonder if…) if preceded by "ka": ～かな
2) Positive imperative
3) Negative imperative
4) Confirmation, possibly rhetorically

In this case 4) applies, meaning that the middle part would better be interpreted as:
"Doesn't that mean that I am now closer with my little destroyer sisters" in a somewhat perverted way.

[velvet adder]

I think theres an actual feature in @agile otter to submit translation feedback, you could send it their way too through that if you follow what Z23 says above

[hearty crane]

Didn't we already go over that the original line (the CN one) literally used "intimate" though?

[steep zealot]

pennsylvania skin

[gleaming belfry]

read this

[ornate basin]

or read pins

[crystal stone]

The Chinese version uses 亲密无间 [qīn mì wú jiàn] in the new line, a Chinese idiom which means a close relationship without barriers.

Again, the problem is the clear implication of the incorrect English translation:

Because you have such a close relationship with her now, she finds it safe (with respect to not being court-martialed) to tell you that she has been intimate with them. This is an admittance of an intimacy that you as a commander were not yet aware of.

There is no such revelation in the actual line. It's completely off. She is just rhetorically confirming her closer relationship with them.

In reality, it's actually a simple progression of the previous "Love" line - she believes that getting closer to you would get her closer to the destroyers. Now, because you have become so closer to her, she is now more intimate with her little destroyer sisters. It's that simple.

I find it important to clarify the true meaning of this line, especially given all of the recent focus that has been placed on her (oath skin, Meta version, and now a retrofit).

[chrome kite]

Will azur lane come back to being compatible with m1 macbooks?

[narrow sage]

Yeah it's going to be a hard sell with that overdone gag (no idea if the retrofit even dialed back on it; wiki has no lines and I can't read japanese that well)

[scenic flower]

There are almost useless quick finishers for the ships, and now you created completly useless finishers for cats

[fierce ember]

except that already do that from long ago,some of the voicelines were way overdone in EN bcs of community memes
starting from just absolutely stupid miss-translationg up to clearly not wanting to do it properly

[sinful cloud]

On the voicelines too? Know that they're in juustagram, which are turning a cute thing into crap, but never outside of it

[fierce ember]

one of the examples was turning master in to owner in cheshire lines which kinda has bipolar meaning,as you see they didnt change it

[hearty crane]

(Cheshire's OG dialogue was sooo much better, but of course people whined and they turned them worse.)

[crude pasture]

can we get a "stuff here" mark on escort when we haven't spent the daily attempt yet?

[formal oyster]

I didn't even notice it was here since the maintenance
So yeah, a red exclamation mark would be nice. So used to see an event icon in its place, visual memory just act like there's nothing new here.

[velvet adder]

yeah i miss at least half of them everytime the event runs

[scenic flower]

[cursive horizon]

I would be okay with more ❗ if they'd just go away after you've looked at them. All this time and the rental tickets still refuse to go away until you use them, not unlike the oil that one cannot collect because you currently have an excess of it. Likewise, I am so tired of seeing the "guild reminder" textbox pop up when there is clearly an ❗ already on the guild tab.

[indigo holly]

#collected-feedback message

there is already a filter for this in dockyard, you can sort by retrofit available

[kindred vessel]

yeah that submission is really old

[indigo holly]

i wouldnt say 3 days is old

[kindred vessel]

or just wrong

[ornate basin]

it is different than view retrofit available

as it is for memories

[kindred vessel]

oh I didn't notice the background why is he asking for that in memories

[ornate basin]

no need to notice in background, it is in the suggestion itself

[kindred vessel]

I looked at the thumbnail and just assumed he didn't know how to read the UI

[indigo holly]

i know but they are literally asking for a feature that already exists in the more convenient location for it to exist

[ornate basin]

does the feature exist yet? if not, its a valid suggestion

[kindred vessel]

it already does exist though he's just looking in the wrong spot

[ornate basin]

do you have a feedbacks?

[kindred vessel]

near as I can tell he's just asking for the Retrofit screen that already exists in Memories to begin with?

[ocean galleon]

we need the Ardent skin bug as a permanent feature. period.

[zealous jasper]

why is muting even a thing? Its being abuse by trolls and lurkers in chat.

[hollow sand]

wishing well should only be one ship
but you get that ship as the first ship you build
then it goes back to normal

[copper nest]

Minigames aren't that important but it's annoying that when there are several targets in lasso it seems random one is taken instead of targets that give the most points being a priority

[primal valve]

but miss getting random is what making it fun

[cursive horizon]

It's pretty amusing to see how the huge Bisonjuu's eyes bug out as they narrowly avoid getting lassoed. I'll take a simpler, but charming minigame like this over something like that one where we defended a big cake and there were far too many enemies swarming to really keep them back.

[hearty crane]

They are asking for it in memento though, where "not obtained" sorts out the SHIPS you do not own, regardless if you got their retro or not.

[hasty mountain]

please remove this I don't want to pay up PR tax yet

[abstract venture]

Add a use to competitive guild? Monthly rewards for being in top 1-10, 10-100, 100-1000 or something like that?

[cursive horizon]

It's kinda like Oil, if you can't do anything it wants yet it forever reminds you. All the ❗ should go away once you've looked. I still don't know why the cat boxes have one next to them in the Cattery, even when I have no boxes left to open.

[stone valley]

yeah the cattery thing is annoying. please akashi, i already got my free catbox

[verbal marsh]

That only goes away when you have 10 timers active.. 😐

[flint imp]

;suggest divorce ships, you could divorce a married ship 30 days after marriage, you'd get your ring back but your divorced ship's affection will start at 50 or lower

[heavy shuttle]

Adding to everyone requesting Li'l Sandy rerun, or at least adding her into light pool.

[primal valve]

[regal elm]

[velvet adder]

Can we get USS Texas as a ship? She's been in both World Wars like the Queen Elizabeth class. And she survived to be a museum ship

[hushed finch]

I second that suggestion

[regal elm]

They don't take new ships suggestion, as per pinned message

[hushed finch]

oh

[inner frost]

She, like many other ships, will be in the game eventually (unless the game dies first), all you can do is wait

[pure violet]

[pure violet]

"There are two things inevitable in life. Death...and Texas."

[flint imp]

why not

[pure violet]

Also, the USS Texas was the only ship to hit its targets when shelling Normandy. The commanding officer ordered the ballast tanks and/or anti-torpedo bulges flooded to increase the elevation of the guns.

[pure violet]

We play the game to escape the crippling reality of life. Adding a divorce feature would blur that line further than it already is.

[velvet adder]

I really hate how long it takes to do opsi i think a map queue system could be a nice thing to set up to get rid of excess ap without me going to map, back to dock, back to zone, back to dock etc

where i can just eat like 200 ap boxes and say "beat 20 times"

[hasty mountain]

add more/infinite strongholds per month, easy 10 box spent there

[sinful cloud]

Could be nice if they compressed the zones more, no use having so many tiny useless zones that only increase the time to clear, the reset already does that

[cursive horizon]

Why would you even want to divorce your ships? It feels like such a rotten thing to do.

[hearty crane]

They really need to add a re-run zone button by now, or corrossion 7 already.

[hasty mountain]

corrosion 7 but please make it cost a lot more AP so we can dump our excess stuff there

[velvet adder]

and make it drop gold plates

[worn mirage]

Or PR Prints

[craggy bison]

I would like in a future update to allow longer screens to remove the black bars in battle and let us see the backline ships instead of hiding them away. Currently you can’t see them unless they attack and are pretty much hidden the entire battle. You rarely ever see their victory animation because of that. It would be nice to see them like you can in pvp (minus having to pan the screen). It would also make people want to buy their skins more since they can actively see the chibi in battle.

[acoustic helm]

this'd be very nice.

[thorn dust]

The bar blocks a lot of information. Since Apple won’t let us move/remove the bar, let us rearrange the game on the screen to have the game start above the bar

[eternal bronze]

thing is

the reset is the real problem of OP S

having to redo everything makes it boring and time consuming

i just hope the double exp efficiency things gets added to core shop or something

i don't want to touch this mode every month and lose my mind over endless grind just to get them

since fixing OP S core is nearly impossible

and i already got all the gears i wanted

ins't that enough?

[velvet adder]

not like opsi is fun tbh

[velvet adder]

Well. I personally really enjoy the OS bosses. Grinding the adaptability from 0 each month is a dull chore though. Before the auto search it was really taxing. Now it has become relatively chill, just mildly time consumming. I do wonder how it feels for newer players, the ones that still can not clear a stronghold even after a couple resets. And the ones that actually benefit plenty from building a tree from the lab step by step. As tedious as OS might seem at times i don't think it might be any more tedious than farming quad bofors or barracuda from the main campaign was way back then

[open pilot]

Is it possible to remove/toggle that floating machine thing beside atago on her summer skin?

[hearty crane]

I for one really want OPS to reset. Clearing maps, doing the hidden, abyssals and strongholds is fun. Then it gets a boring slog till the next reset. The first month at 1 1/2 month was a real slog, imagine how more terrible it would be if it lasts 2 months. Or maybe they just need to tweak the secured zones aren't the worst thing ever...

[hasty mountain]

true that the after-clear running secured maps is sleep, but doing the opsi reset every single month is getting mind numbing after what? 8 months of doing the same thing? whenever opsi was introduced

the reset did good with keeping us engaged with the mode for this long but there's only so far that recycling the same content every month can get you

[scenic flower]

We only have 2 repair ships, and yet, you want us to use them in guild ops for additional efficiency? 8 or more slots

[wary glacier]

I just realized that there's a simple QOL feature that hasn't been added yet. The ability to disable character portraits appearing in battle when you play the game. What I'm referring to is when an airstrike is launched or when your bb barrage fires in PvP, to prevent the triggering unit's portrait from appearing and blocking the whole screen

[sinful cloud]

Many have asked for it, myself included, but nothing so far
Specially annoying with Shitano, one of the reasons I dont use her

[scenic flower]

[eternal bronze]

i made a submit about that you can vote it here #collected-feedback message

honestly i wonder for how long this problem will keep up

it all started with FDG on PR2

now its getting pretty worse with all the URs/DRs with huge backgrounds

how can i manual properly with this infront of my screen?

waiting for the UR that will remove my game screen

[sinful cloud]

Yamato with her huge tower

[scenic flower]

Agir's L2D makes my phone suffer

[fierce sonnet]

shinanos is worse so bad to the point where i make my other carriers load slower than her just to get rid of her fat body off the screen

[kindred vessel]

should have bought her skin it's smaller than her default skin

[sinful cloud]

When you have to spend money to get rid of an inconvenience thats just bad design

[hearty crane]

People playing manual

[ionic matrix]

I mean, at the very least, they could scale down the CGs a bit so they're within the bounds of the actual gameplay screen, and not over lapping the border panes that much. In comparison to older skins, it looks kinda weird too.
Like Ticonderoga is so much larger than Essex or Intrepid (or even Independence Kai). I think Essex and Intrepid's CGs are a good size to make as standard for all.

Well except maybe the UR/DR. I can honestly understand those being larger, though some do seem a bit excessive. Though, in my opinion, that has more to do with the hang time the CG has on the screen than the actual size of it.

Also, it's probably already been suggested, but I'd love the ability to combine/craft lower rarity materials into higher ones, much like how gear boxes and skill books work.

I've literally got hundreds of blue OpSi mats sitting in my inventory being useless, because either most of the blue gear lab stuff can't be built, or can be obtained via blueprints, or immediately goes into purple, thus not needing blue mats.

Excessive mat cost for gold gear lab gear aside, it'd be nice to bolster my military grade electronics reserves with some blue mats crafted to purple, then crafted to gold.

[stone valley]

I heard research will use up t3 techboxes after the update

[hearty crane]

Yeah it sounds pretty dumb. Here's hoping google translate just messes it up. We'll see with EN patchnotes, unless they go "optimalised research" or something making us all frustrated.

[copper nest]

Can 12h basic researches at least give some guaranteed pr blueprints, before changes I never got 0 blueprints out of them but now it happens, this or one blueprint, never more like earlier, weird

[scenic topaz]

please add oath skins for the bullins

[cursive horizon]

It's a shame they don't take outfit requests, because oath gowns for the Bulins would be nice. And I also agree that reducing or removing the CG during fights would be a welcome option. Option being the key word, cause sometimes it's nice.

[regal elm]

They can also take the alternative route and just omit the gears/rigging and the background effects, leaving just the characters themselves, like they did with, for example, Victorious qipao and North Carolina bunny skin. It's the middle ground suggestion worth considering.

[velvet adder]

The thing is that part of the combat was designed around having that sprite cut in. The cut in was the justification behind having the airstrike also apply a bullet screen swipe and every first volley be in slow motion, those features constitute part of the game balance.

The real issue is that the game has developed a tendency towards making sprites horizontallly larger and larger with each new event and hasn't taken care to adjust the code so the problematic ships like shinano can have their own individual behavior in which they for example fade out quicker or whatever is more fitting.

The other issue is the poor optmization of the game regarding adjusting to different aspect ratios. The NJ on the screen capture above looks that drastic in part due to the screen being quite a bit taller than 16:9

Which isn't to say that aspect ratios wider than 16:9 doesn't have their own set of problems. After 3 years (or 4 if it also happens in JP and CN) the crosshair is still broken when the aspect ratio is wider than 16:9

Normally whenever the cross hair hits the right margin it pushes the frame of view along the vanguard as it was intended. However if the resolution is wider than 16:9 the game creates those gray bars at the sides. This wouldn't be a problem if the crosshair moved the frame as it first touches the gray bar from the left but instead it goes behind it and doesn't start moving the frame until it had moved farther to the right all while being covered by the aforementioned gray bar. Needless to say this makes aiming in manual significantly harder and further in straight up hides enemies that should otherwise be visible

[primal valve]

Gear swapping feature when?
Sent to Belfast weeks ago but said been suggested before

[velvet adder]

This is what i mean

[regal elm]

I think the crosshairs issue started popping up when the new UI was rolled out, which was 2 years ago, coinciding with the full release of the game. Closed Beta/Open Beta UI (or Old UI, as we call it) didn't have that problem, as as the game screen back then were locked at 16:9 aspect ratio.

It does need to be fixed, though. Either keep the crosshairs within the aspect ratio or remove the black bars and widen the resolution for battle altogether. Currently, the wider the screen, the deeper the crosshairs sinks into the bars.

[velvet adder]

I am glad to see some one else who agrees. I tried filling a card for it a year ago but was rejected by a mod because acording to their own judgement it was not a bug. Do you think you could try givng it a try to see if with your phrasing it is received more favourably?

[real cobalt]

Okay what i dont get is why skins get put in get removed from the store and almost never come back in a years time frame. Like what requirements have to be met for a skin to come back? Like party dress skins all of them are there except Roons? Is that a bug or is that supposed to that way? I cant figure it out? Can someone explain that or can we just not remove skins when they get added or would that make the game too big?

[raw quest]

black friday

[ionic matrix]

For something like the party dress skins (ball gown or anniversary skins if you want), they come back during the following anniversary for a limited time, then are usually put in permanently after 2 anniversaries past when they were introduced.

So year 1 anniversary skins are permanent. Year 2 will be limited along with year 3. And year 2 anni skins won't be permanent till next years anniversary

[velvet adder]

They take a while to come back in order to honor the promise of them being "time limited" when they originally come out. Skins come back alongside the rerun of the event they match . party skins are usually linked to JP anniversary which is in a month. Roon isn't the only one that hasn't had her party skin added to the permanent stock yet. In black friday they also restock all skins except for the ones that came out in the previous trimester

[ionic matrix]

I wish we got a couple more Black Friday-like skin sales throughout the year. There's been a couple of skins I initially passed up on but later down the road decided I'd like to buy. But sometimes it sucks having to wait until Nov. To get a shot at buying them again, assuming they don't get rerun for some other reason before then.

[sinful cloud]

skins come back alongside the rerun of the event they match
sad Deutsch noises in DC's rerun

[velvet adder]

They had put her skin in the core shop for a while if i remember correctly

[sinful cloud]

Thats in CN

They also have the dullahan Ning skin there but thats understandable why only for them cause chinese boat

[ionic matrix]

I'd love to see a few more ways to generate a decent amount of coins in a timely manner. Wishing well plus gear skin box plus research really hurts the bank.

(that or reduce the price of the gear skin box, or let us pick which gear skin we want for that price...)

[split girder]

Please, please...up the drop rate of Nimi on 2-4. Been grinding the map every day since Feb/March, I've finished like 6 PR ships now, just trying to get her to drop from that map. Minus event stuff, every drop of oil I get goes into that. I can't do this much longer, I'm gonna break :c

[slate monolith]

Niimi also drops on higher level maps too as well. It's that she shows up starting on that map, and it's the same with the 3 starters as well

[split girder]

@slate monolith I'm aware, I have her. I'm just trying to get all of these unlocked

[carmine ginkgo]

Funny how the game doesn't count the ships from this I had mlb'd and retired for the banner thing and wants me to mlb them again

[silver cliff]

As much as I like bunny girl skins, we just recently had a bunny girl themed event. I don't think we needed more than one of them so close together. Since this anniversary appears to be cowboy themed based on the dorm set and gear skins, it would have been really cool to see a cowboy themed character skin set to go with it. Feels like a missed opportunity. Maybe make the event themes a little more consistent and coherent in the future?

[sinful cloud]

Was it supposed to not have new loading screens or did you guys forget to overwrite the old ones again?

[stone valley]

Remove this for when you select bulins for limit break, it’s kinda pointless because I know I will use it

[hidden bear]

I feel that the two event icons are REALLY pixelated for some reason...

[ornate basin]

I think its because the icons got compressed so they turned out really ugly looking

they are large pngs afterall

[velvet adder]

err...i just want to say that could i (we) have Aurora Noctics and Crimson Echoes rerun pls 🥺 since im start playing this game im just feel like too much Eagle Union ev ._.)

[primal valve]

they dont take feedbacks regarding events

[velvet adder]

sad noise

[sinful cloud]

Crimson echoes is gonna be archived soonTM

[velvet adder]

crimson already reran, aurora hasnt yet so it will be soonish anyway

[sinful cloud]

Also have the first russian rerun in the pile

[cursive horizon]

Cowboys/girls would have been an interesting theme, so long as it doesn't go too crazy with the sex appeal. Oklahoma and Nevada have a similar theme on their designs.

[primal valve]

Cant read description

[hearty crane]

It's been a loooooooooong time since we got new loading screens (I would say CN 4th anni old), just login screens. Maybe they're saving for JP anni? Still they probably should space them better, months of re-uses?

[cursive horizon]

Honestly I expected to see some of the ones from the original Microlayer run.

[raw quest]

??? the old loading screens from microlayer is back though? maybe you just got bad RNG on loading screens

[hearty crane]

The intrepid login screen is back as loading screen. This one isn't around though:

I'd rather see Fletcher bath loading screen 😭

What's with the hate against that screen?
And I take anything over the same ones for months over end (and still no I-19)

[sinful cloud]

Helena's easy, just bugged and they dont bother to fix it

[hasty mountain]

finally I had the opportunity to use the updated siren repair bay thing in opsi, and it is a lot better, all the unnecessary lines and view panning have been removed, as well as the pointless battles you had to face at the start. That was a change in the right direction, good job 👍

[winter hearth]

What about a possibility to mute ship. Because sometimes or even often powerful ships have really bad voice you don't want to hear. So you just don't use ship. If I could mute especially only this ship, it would be easier or even only one way to use this ship in battle

[sinful cloud]

Or just spams the line like Sara and London

[winter hearth]

If the spam line is with a voice you don't like it's even badder

Can we make Siren Stronghold a priority on which one is appearing on the screen 1st? sample there is a hidden one but its blocking stronghold in OpSi

[worn mirage]

Is there a possible way to isolate the sound file for when you tap on the screen from the rest of the special effects? I love hearing the sounds of cannon fire and splashing waves, but the sound for tapping the screen feels super grating on the ears when you have to repeatedly tap the screen while doing dailies. Is there a way to turn it off separately?

[silver cliff]

Monthly reminder that I spent $10 on this Georgia skin and the special touch location is still bugged 8 MONTHS later.

[cursive horizon]

I just want that damn loading screen selector, already. I wanna get rid of the ones I don't like and be able to bring back stuff like this outside of Valentine's:

[late egret]

I second the loading screen selector ^ especially just to remove NSFW loading screens when I'm playing in a public place.

This is actually in the Trello if you wanted to go vote for it.

[scenic flower]

[late egret]

I sent in a feedback submission for adding macOS to Azur Lane's compatible devices list.

I would rather have Azur Lane executable on the ARM macOS if there isn't a pay wall or Apple's guideline responsibility on the developers blocking them to make that possible.

[tall birch]

Can you make the new E research projects not such a ripoff? I could maybe understand getting this many if we were trading purple blueprints, but 45 gold blueprints for 3 feels a little insulting

[acoustic sluice]

is this skill bad traslated?

in the en and jp wiki says that the AA gets the buff and not the torp

[narrow sage]

yes it's yet another case of the localizing team borking yet another skill translation.

[eternal bronze]

its been 2 years since IB got their last retrofit, can they get a new one?

[sinful cloud]

Could have made Seydlitz but they decided to go with Weser right away

[eternal bronze]

that would be a new ship

[quaint crypt]

tactical class studies could offer to use the same book as you did for the finished one. Most of the time you're either spamming the same kind of book and this change would make it just that bit more UI friendly

[sinful cloud]

Meant that they could have made Seydlitz first and then retro her into Weser

[eternal bronze]

yeah but this has nothing to do with the current situation

and Seydlitz was never built in the first place

[vernal crystal]

Hear me out, Gothic Girl theme for maybe this Halloween eh eh?

[high pond]

It doesn't have to be for halloween

[vernal crystal]

Yea for sure, anytime in General is what I prefer but I said this idea to some and they prefer to be an Halloween thing

[cursive horizon]

I would love a Gothic theme, we've already got a few who have such outfits (and they should totally come back during it).

Unrelated and probably has been asked before but.. is Shimakaze from Crosswave ever coming to the main game?

[primal valve]

give 2 stronghold per week and 2 per reset every month

or just 2 per week

[loud grove]

Can we get a seperate UI sound setting?

[cursive horizon]

You mean like.. silence the voices during battle, but leave them alone on the secretary screen? I'd love that as an option, I think others would, too.

[sinful cloud]

Think they mean the button click sound separate from the firing

[worn mirage]

I made a note of that in my comment on the survey

[cursive horizon]

Oh, yeah, the like.. loud tap sound the game makes when you do a lot of things really needs to be lowered or changed. It's quite piercing compared to the rest of the game's sound effects.

[worn mirage]

Yeah, you can turn it off by setting the Special Effect volume down
but then you lower the volume for all the other sounds like cannon fire and the like

[primal valve]

How do i calculate using this

[shell bramble]

Sounds like a question for #gameplay-help

[wheat bear]

there should be a button next to Confirm called "enhance" that takes u to the blueprinted ship in the shipyard to enhance her

if u have the ship

[bold python]

There is mistake in 1 word i assume. "They" instead of "The"

[sly gazelle]

Ala 👏 bama 👏 oath 👏 skin...

Please

[quaint junco]

After discussion with AL EN staff, we decided that we not going to take feedback and suggestions about certain topics:

1. New ships and content (events, skins, retrofits, etc);
   -pin

[stone valley]

BASEDDDDDDDDD

[fallow harbor]

Rework the "Gear Sets" Function where it Force Swaps a girl who has the gear into the current one.
There would be a little box that pops up on the screen when multiple copies of the same gear is chosen but only 3 of them would appear (Highest Enhanced version of that specific gear) with the ship who has it having their icons appear on top so you can choose that ship to take the gear out of

[cursive horizon]

Having encountered the "You cannot collect anymore Specialized Core this month" message during the weekly missions so often, I began wondering if perhaps the game can convert that reward into Coins instead. Like how outfit & trophy rewards are converted into coins if you've already obtained them. It doesn't have to be a huge amount, maybe just 1000 coins. If that seems too much, drop it to x2 whatever the Core reward was.

[worn mirage]

Woupd love to use them to purchase PR blueprints

[hasty mountain]

at the very least remove that message, it is 100% useless

[winter hearth]

Add a box for scrapping gear like with ships. Because you choose 40 gear and after you see only gold and plates you receive, nothing about gear you clicked accidentally. So I think one extra box with all gears you want to scrap listed is a good improvement

[gloomy ingot]

Bulin at event shop when

[primal valve]

Bulin not count towards dock space when

[inner frost]

Never (probably) as they serve as an incentive for buying dock space.

[clear pumice]

Please for the love of Akashi, please let us be able to obtain Lil'Sandy somehow. It has been 2 years since her last appearance.

[stone valley]

I started AL around the li’l Sandy event and… yeah… it’s been a while….
Devs forgor 💀

[copper bolt]

Is it possible to add AL to the google play points rewards scheme?

[rain jasper]

no, i obviously don't want to collect this, why would i want to get the stuff that comes next? ... there's so many chat windows that should get deleted in the game (looking at half of TB chats in operation siren for example...)

[cursive horizon]

I really like TB as a character but she is very poorly utilized by the game. I do not know why I have to see a message about joint factions every time I enter a Stronghold. It was nice as part of the story but now it’s redundant.

[eternal bronze]

almost lost my gems because of this again

[ionic matrix]

I'd love some higher level daily raids that award more coins per run, maybe even a very small amount of gold plates?

[cursive horizon]

I think the highest it goes right now is 70, right? Perhaps we should have a 100. Not so high that it feels out of reach, but maybe as challenging as say C5 exploration stages?

[hearty crane]

They add useless checkboxes (META skill swapping anyone?) But also refuse to add reminders for important stuff easy to overlook (since 4h after reset for PR1 prints is still really dumb).

[cursive horizon]

It should have been clearer that there were suddenly Bonus Prints for all the PR2 ships, and not just Georgia. I only learned about it from Guild Friends last week.

[winter hearth]

Change Challenge mode to a list of EX bosses which should be killed one after another. Between fights your ships will be healed, but you can use only ships who survived in last battles

That means you can use all ships you have as long they didn't die on previous bosses

[lilac burrow]

Make popping affinity bubble in dorms give more affinity points

[kindred vessel]

you mean give any, empirical testing from dorming ships from 1 to 120 has shown they give 0 points

[cursive horizon]

I always suspected it didn't do anything.

[fierce ember]

0.1-0.3

[kindred vessel]

Which can be easily proven false by dorming a ship from 1-120, getting literally dozens of hearts, and still having 50 affection.

[pulsar flax]

hey

u peeps better get the bismarck a retrofit

like ehy is that old hag warspite a ultra rare when all shes also like really weak otherwise and bismarck actually weak when she was stringer than warsipte in actual

or nerf warspite

even hood was better than warspite in irl

[ornate basin]

we dont take suggestions for retrofits

[pulsar flax]

how about adding a 4th or 5th wave bsses

there are only mob fleets which are 1 wave , 2 wave , 3 wave , how about adding 4th and 5th wave

or like a game mode in which we can keep on getting waves after waves till the last ships sinks

i wrote this in the survey form too

[cursive horizon]

Telling people their favourite ship or character is trash and that another is better and should be improved isn't gonna win any favours even if they did take suggestions. I love Bismarck and Warspite both, don't need to be insulting one over the other.

As for extra waves of enemies with bosses, is that really necessary? Outside of making the game harder, is it really beneficial? Strictly speaking, fleets aren't normally huge to begin with or they become targets, or they're too slow to be effective. Even the promoted pawns don't drag the fights out that long. You add 5 waves and it starts making the "defeat enemies in X time" requirements seem less reasonable.

[quaint junco]

diff maps have different waves, a triforce CV node in 13-4 has 4 waves while a triforce CV node in 10-4 has 5.

to check how many waves a node has, use this https://al-data.github.io/nodes

[pulsar flax]

how about 6 to 7 then , i just want more difficulty

[winter hearth]

Its better to do new hard bosses instead of hard nodes everyone play on auto

[regal ocean]

can we have another ship skin like this anymore...?

[winter hearth]

Change game chat so people can speak with themselves easier. Now because of character limit and too long massage cool down it's really hard to get a comfortable discussion. This will be something like chaos

[obsidian spear]

add a feature with a On/Off function in the Setting to Hide (Retrofit) without them. it should be obvious that a ship is Retrofitted if the Background changes

[sinful cloud]

[winter hearth]

Game counts ship as retrofited when you improved everything. Imo it's better so because you can see who is not fully retrofited

[obsidian spear]

i dont like the look off it

[winter hearth]

The actual one is better if you planning to do full retrofit for every ship. Your one is better when everything you need is collection. So they two are good 🤔

[obsidian spear]

i am at 100% collection

[winter hearth]

But doing 2 buttons for every case makes no sense

[hearty crane]

The suggestion is just to hide the pointless (retrofitted) from the name right? Cause I agree with that. If not, I don't know what the suggestion is...

[obsidian spear]

yes

[winter hearth]

🤔 Than I understood the suggestion wrong

I thought he means that filter "has retrofit" should exclude ships with background changed

[balmy ginkgo]

Maybe allow us to level up the canteen so we can make and receive more oil? Or just increase the amount of oil the level 10 canteen can make? Cause for how long it takes, 3k oil isn’t a lot. Like bump it to 100 oil per hour and 4k canteen can hold max?

[lavish kiln]

It’s a joke to have the Chinese ships in the game since first of all they were kumantong KMT ships that the US sent to Chang Kai Shek during world war 2 and not the Chinese commies ships the Chinese commies did not have ships then and second of all china has not fought a naval battle since the Middle Ages there is too much communist propaganda in the game and Chinese twisted and messed up history second the game shuld be run by Japanese not Chinese who can’t even light a beer fart in a whirlwind

[void schooner]

You trying to take away the cute Chinabotes?

[lavish kiln]

Sorry to say so but the Chinese communist never had ships in world war 2

There is proof the ping hai was the Republic of china’s ship NOT the Chinese communist

[faint hinge]

Are you okay

[lavish kiln]

I’m speaking the truth

[void schooner]

Anyway, I know jackshit about Naval history, so I'll let you fight that battle with anyone willing to take you on.

[lavish kiln]

Try again Afro

[velvet adder]

who cares

[void schooner]

Good luck with your crusade.

[velvet adder]

mikasa wasn't even active during ww2 and we have her in the game

[lavish kiln]

I provably know more about naval history then you do

The miksa was from the Japanese russian war but russia never invested in a lot of ships once they lost to Japan and the commies took over

[velvet adder]

we have lots of ships to add tbh

[lavish kiln]

Most of their ships in WW2 was lend lease from the US

[velvet adder]

what

[lavish kiln]

The Russian navy ships in WW2

The us made 4 ice breakers and 2 were sent to russia to borrow during the war

[velvet adder]

[lavish kiln]

And they need to start moderating some of the comments placed by players …. Seeing the most popular comment about the USS Arizona is insulting her is not ok

[velvet adder]

yeah but, i don't see the link between politics, chinese ships and comments

[lavish kiln]

I’m pointing out issues

[velvet adder]

where's the issue there

[lavish kiln]

First being the Ping Hai was never a plan ship it belonged to the republic of China and under the command of Chang Kai shek

[faint hinge]

You're hard trolling mate, take it elsewhere

[velvet adder]

[faint hinge]

History does not disappear because the government changes

[velvet adder]

welll about that one

[lavish kiln]

You using the Chinese version

[velvet adder]

we have post ww2 ships from quite a long time

[lavish kiln]

If the game has post WW2 ships then we would see the midway class , forestal class the and the numerous ships beteeen the midway - Nimitz class

Not to mention the Long Beach and other cruisers destroyers and frigates

[velvet adder]

laughs in centaur

[lavish kiln]

Yes but why do they only put in non American ships ?

Afraid the balance of power would be close to reality

[velvet adder]

[naive cobalt]

if you just sorta ranting - take it to twitter or something, I still have 0 clue what's your feedback supposed to be

[lavish kiln]

China has not fought a naval battle since the Middle Ages

[naive cobalt]

ok, but what's your feedback?

[lavish kiln]

I tried to give feedback it ended up being me defending

[velvet adder]

i'm confused

[naive cobalt]

ok that's borderline just racism

[lavish kiln]

How is it racism

[naive cobalt]

so yes, please leave wherever you desire to

Sir this is Wendy's

[lavish kiln]

Wendy’s ?

[naive cobalt]

as in
not the place to share your political opinions

^

[lavish kiln]

Censorship is the first thing dictators do

[velvet adder]

what the actual fuck

[modest island]

...yeah thats what the game says

[wooden carbon]

are you high as a kite

[cursive vale]

Please don't start a historical argument in #game-feedback

[slate monolith]

Well thankfully this time around for the Intrepid event we didn't have any MAJOR issues with the servers this time around, also I noticed that the fights with Lurker are a bit easier too. Thank goddess for base ASW stats

[velvet adder]

operation siren is so boring doing the same thing for like the 6th time or more now pls make it even more auto, maybe 1 click and complete it all

also make the end not sync up with event ends

[primal valve]

Auto search all red enemy left after collecting all resources nodes in hidden area

[hearty crane]

There's def options they could add. Why does auto do Promoted Pawns last? Way to waste submarines. I don't want my auto to do catpaws either. And picking up the hidden node each time is still pointless busywork. And for the love of god fix using auto making dialogue unskippable. So many times I go to a Hidden Zone after and it takes so long to load up the giant dialogueline I cannot speed up due to this damn bug.

[velvet adder]

i always just leave the hidden node that it doesnt pick up if it isnt right next to me, i just wanna get in and out as fast as i can

maybe a 2x speed would be nice inside opsi?

or maybe the fleet move EVEN FASTER like sonic speed please

[sinful cloud]

Actually been leveling up a META's skill and again, whats your boner with timecapping every goddamn thing in the game
I have to pay 5 books to unlock the skill which is understandable, have to grind xp to level said skill up which tbh is an interesting grind but why in the flying fuck is it capped at 30k xp per day

Its not serving any purpose but to annoy players

There are levels that required more xp than that
It honestly ruins the pace of the grind
And tbh its not making me want to play the game more each day, in fact with every new thing that comes stupidly capped I come closer to dropping the game instead

[regal elm]

Probably because if the exp is not capped, then theoretically, you may be able to max out the META ship skills way faster than the time it takes to max out ordinary ships' skills.

[sinful cloud]

And the problem being? Its kinda dumb that you use books and still have to wait for the exp but at least its understandable cause they can make money with the extra slots

Also with ordinary ships you arent time capped to also get the ship and you arent time capped to lb the ship

Now talking about it, would be amazing if they reworked it for you to get the skill xp passively in the class but can feed them the books to speed it up
Still need the slots and would help those that ran out of books

[regal elm]

The problem is, you just need 5 skill books for Meta skills, while it needs like, what, 8 skill books of the same color to cap the level? Imagine if leveling Meta skills takes less than a day while it took about 3-4 days to cap the skills of ordinary skills. Adjusments are gonna be needed for parity

[sinful cloud]

Then do them, we got an improvement on the cattery why not the other facilities too

And the current ordinary ship skills dont even have a good exp value, you end up wasting part of a book when using only the books of the same colour as the skill

[regal elm]

Cuz the current skill training system is pretty standard among gacha games like this. If anything, the adjustment needed will be on the Meta side

Removing the exp cap is one thing. Increasing the cap is another, and ideal suggestion, imo

[sinful cloud]

Unless they increase it to ridiculous values (which at that point just remove it), still doesnt change that you are x3 time capped to get a single ship to top performance

[hasty mountain]

why does it matter that maxing the meta skill would be done faster with less books than other skills? the amount of grinding and oil / AP boxes / time that would go into maxing the skill in one day, I'd say it was well earned by the player

[sinful cloud]

Also for "being standard"... I wonder why some innovative games get the spotlight when they appear

[fierce ember]

standart WAY of doing things never ment its well-made or balanced mechanically,
the fact that it takes from 126 to 248 HOURS(5 minimum days)to take one skill to max is a little funny in comparison, if we think about that newer ships have usually 2-3 to them meaning you need to wait up to half a month for the ship to be ready for use,and thats if we live in a vacuum of books not being an issue and you are not rushing anywhere(early players now live in hell of not even having the books for,or 2 slots not nearly being enough for it even if they focus on specific ship set without rapid switches)
the only good part i can think of right away when it comes to it is that you can still use that ship meanwhile it gets a skill up(other gacha games tend to lock that character completely) and MAYBE that post mid-game books become a non issue

[cursive horizon]

To say nothing of the common lack of Red Skill books, and Attack skills are the most common kind in the game. So if you're stuck using Blue or Yellow instead it takes even longer. Then there's the exchange rate to go from Level 1 books to Level 2 books, and then to Level 3 books. You're losing out on all of them.

[fierce ember]

just the common issue of game design,with red(meaning attack/dps)skills being dominant for obvious reasons(like having more damage to speed the grind up or just actually beat harder content)
adjusting rates based on it would be the obvious solution,but who does the obvious good solutions in game industry nowadays?

[hearty crane]

I find red books aren't much of a problem anymore with the addition of the OP shop (guild shop) that just lets you pick them... no need to even convert T2, but even if you do, the same shop also provides there...

[fierce ember]

its lategame what does that,at that point anything piles up
i couldnt care less about it,but i still find it just funny when it comes to comparison of books
like r/y/b
100/300/500 isually the stock for me or those who i know
speaks in itself about the usage

[regal elm]

I never said the standard way means the most balanced. I'm saying this skill system is commonly applied on gacha games, so if Manjuu isn't going to change that, then the most likely way is to adjust the Meta skill system, in this case either increasing the limit or removing the exp cap altogether

[winter hearth]

Idk. Books are always away. Not only red. Idk who say this, maybe people who level only red skills. If you level all colors of skills all books can disappear. If it comes to disbalanse like on screenshot, one type disappear. Doesn't matter if it's red or blue or yellow.

[fierce ember]

play the game more?and turn off the ping on reply
unless you do full all in whale with 4 academy slots this is not gonna be of an issue

[sinful cloud]

Would say that theres plenty of blues but red and yellow are almost always on the edge for me

[winter hearth]

I have 3 academy, which is the best for skill leveling

But even with 2 slots there were issues with Books of every color

[sinful cloud]

Maybe doesnt help that ships like Cygnet and Indy have only blue skills and then the top/new ones usually dont even have 1

[fierce ember]

doing dailies gives more books then you can consume with two slots
the more you play the more it piles up as long as consumption doesnt go over the incone

[winter hearth]

🤔 Than idk what did I do. But I always had issues with books. With red, with yellow, with blue

So, I think the system is pretty good. But we need a bit more books of every color

Or something like in Touhou Lost Word where in addition to 2h, 4h and 8h books you have 12h books with small amount of exp, middle amount of exp and big amount of exp. So you can level skill faster by using the biggest 12h Books, or even with middle one

[copper bolt]

i think the training system is fine. I used 3 slots as soon as it came out and 4 slots as well as soon as it came out

I've pretty much played daily as well constantly using books and I've never run out

with all 4 slots occupied

also idk how many ships I have with maxed skills as well

ive only ever converted blue to purple as well

never converted any books to gold

ive been playing for 3 years and i have never once run out of skill books despite always having the max amount of training slots with people training every day

[fierce ember]

i really doubt you can sustain 84 t3 books per week but whatever,i have nothing against the current skill system outside of the stupid timegating it is right now

[copper bolt]

I never said I only used T3 books

idk about you but I don't feel like there's that much need to power level a skill in 1 day.

Also I don't use ships at lvl 1, only lvl 90-100+ and by that point (through dorm/10 hr comissions), I've already leveled up all of their skills to the max level

[fierce ember]

regardless of which books i cant think of a way for 100% uptime with 4 slots
whatever the hell you are on 15 days for the ship to be usable is too much

[copper bolt]

and im telling u i have 100% up time with 4 slots 🙂

resource management, not the make or break of this game

but it definitely makes your life a lot easier

ive played for 3 years anyway as I said earlier so I have my way

others will say it takes longer/it's not as efficient. But in my eyes, I think never running out of skill books is better even if you sacrifice making skills take a little longer to level

I'm also at the point where I have no skills I actually want to level except good new event/PR ships

and most of the time, I'm just leveling skills for ships I do not plan to use for a while as well

so using purple books is alright for me even if it's 33% slower

and sometimes when I have too many blue books, I just use them to level red/yellow skills

and that lets me restock on those kinds of books

[sinful cloud]

Well yeah the problem aint the books themselves, been using only golds with 3 slots for some months and never ran out
Problem being that every single thing is time gated, I want to actually play the game not do a bit and have to wait 5 times of that

I know its a very f2p friendly game but still doing stuff like this just kills the will to play since its starting to feel like a waiting simulator

[copper bolt]

i actually sort of like it like this

it means i can just login, do the stuff and get out

it's a very low maintenance game where patience is a really good thing to have

you only run into problems if u try to hard grind things

[worn mirage]

I feel similar to this, most of the game is moderately well. My only gripe is how slow PR blueprint acquisition is, but that's been talked about ad nauseum so I won't add more to that

[sinful cloud]

I like some parts of it and some are logical to be time gated like commissions but on the grind parts just let players have their own pace
Some days you dont want to play much, some you have the urge to play, taking the META skills as example you have to either do the 30k each day or fall behind cause you cant catch up after

[copper bolt]

wdym??

u can do meta skills over an infinite amount of time

also the first few levels are really fast to do anyway

and the difference in power level does not spike when u get the final level usually

also if u put them in your opsi mob fleet, even if they are not doing much dmg, as long as they survive they get massive boosts to the skill xp

u can also level all of your meta ship skills simultaneously as well

1 from each meta ship e.g. meta ark, meta hiryu and meta helena

the game also gives you double xp for the first however much skill xp/day

this kind of incentivises you to just play however much you want. If you don't play a lot it helps wayy more. I rarely hit the 30k mark anyway

[sinful cloud]

Mean that the cap shouldnt exist so you can grind at your own pace
I know that you can do all that but you already pay 5 books to unlock it and have to grind after, like I said yesterday you're already time gated to get the ship then again to mlb

Just want this time gating everything bs to end, let ppl play like they want
Not saying to delete all of it cause some do make sense but some are really unecessary

[copper bolt]

i get your point but I think it's fine already. The first 60% gives double xp and actually hitting the 30k xp cap require you to play A LOT. It's like the game telling you, thanks for playing but you should probably stop for today since you've played enough

since u can easily get the first 20k xp but everything after that is excruciatingly slow

im pretty sure 99.5% of the playerbase never reaches this skill xp cap for meta ships

so it isn't really that big of a deal either

if u play enough to reach that cap then good for you, but you don't really gain much except getting the skill leveled up just that bit faster

but for the amount of effort needed to do that, you probably spent double / triple the time grinding compared to a casual player utilising the double xp for the first 60%

[sinful cloud]

I hit it in about a hour of doing D3, how little does a casual player play? Thought that I was pretty casual

Besides that I only did the daily stuff

[copper bolt]

if u only do daily stuff, you wouldn't hit 30k

and idk about u but im not gonna sit around and do d3 for an hour a day

u need pretty optimised oil fleets to do that

[sinful cloud]

Depends, I barely grind between events so draining oil on events
Definitely not using optimised fleets

[copper bolt]

i dont grind at all inbetween events. Only do the opsi stuff and i rarely hit the 30k cap like ever

u have to play for hours in order to reach that cap and doing that every day? Sure it's possible but not every player will do that

AL just isn't that type of game you can grind 24/7

[hearty crane]

How can you hit the cap doing D3, regular mode barely gives XP, you hit the battles limit far before you hit 30k per day. Only in Operation Siren can you gain mad META XP (especially if you haven't done the regular mode ones yet since it counts both)...

[copper bolt]

^this as well

[sinful cloud]

Guess that doing the stuff to get the coordinates helped, was surprised at how fast I reached it too

Btw what would change about you not reaching the limit with ot without cap, only hurting does that grind a lot as I see it
By removing it those who dont reach could still continue as such and those who reach it could continue without being held back

Would give a reason to actual play Opsi for longer since that thing is boring af

[copper bolt]

i dont think the main attraction of opsi is grinding skill faster but that might just be me

but like i pointed out earlier

it affects so few people because the cap is already really high

it's not that easy or hard to reach

if u sat down for a few hours, u'll reach it but that's not what most people will do

in those few hours u actually spend playing, a normal skill would not get as much xp

so it balances out in the end

i totally get your point but I also don't see a particular reason why this system has to change

since it affects so few people

also once u level all the skills, no one will notice until the next meta ship

you are gated anyway by limit breaks which probably take just as long as getting all 3 skills leveled up for a casual player

you're probably not going to use a ship if they aren't at their max potential right?

[jagged cairn]

Can we get a rerun with Newcastle

[winter hearth]

So, as I understood that is not a bug, so I would say that it's really bad desicion to stop D researches for PR4 after they got dev30. They should be stopped after +165 BPs = FS. You did a good system where I can give dev 30 only to them who I want, but now I have no possibility to get 165 BPs fast and go to another PR wave to get there equipment or ships interesting to me. And if this won't be changed, after PR5 comes out I need to go back to PR4 to do FS?

So, my suggestion is to let D researches as long as ship doesn't reach 165 BPs

Sometimes I do, sometimes I dont
In Helena's case, I got her to mlb and now levelling the skills which didnt even get one to max (didnt even do the fights all days) so now I was time capped to get her then to mlb and continuing to be for the skills which pisses me off cause I just want to play the damn game without being stopped every 5 seconds

that is the current system though? If a ship is at dev 30 they won't receive face researches. If u start the fate simulation you will still receive the face researches until FS5 is achieved?

META ships are a lot better to get up and running than PR ships so I'm not gonna complain.

So. Then I have a question. How should I do FS for PR4 immediately after release if I get no BPs before release?

[copper bolt]

u can get PR/DR prints from normal researches too you know

[sinful cloud]

Not denying that but still dont get whats the point of stopping players on each step on every new thing

PR system... is a monster of its own

personally, as time gated as the META system is, if you do a little bit every day, it's not a grind at all.

it's like u said, only if u grind lots and try to burst it down, u get gated

[winter hearth]

But it is long. I don't really need equipment from PR4 and I needed only one ship, so I would leave the PR as fast as possible. That means wished ship should have dev30+165 BPs. Now if I want to do this, I need to spend a lot more time than it could be if I had D researches

[copper bolt]

imo, the amount of time u would have to spend doing that with general researches getting those prints, will be less than the amount of time saved from the new face research update

also is it really that bad that u wont get face researches until the fate sim gets unlocked?
