it's faster if you use cubes 
Yes if you're an ultrawhale that has 3000 cubes at their disposal at any time
But don't even try to shrug this off, that's a very strong if
That is out of touch with reality
As if that helps, I suggested a research queue to fix this system and guess what, nothing
Biased example as it's only one rabbit with no influence but it's been shown time and time again they only ever listen to CN (unnecessary Agir buffs anyone?)
Doubt they'll do anything regardless of how and how many people complain. Gotta vote with pulling the wallets out
No well being/QoL for those less active in game players no money; I'll just spend on some indie devs that care about their players 💕
What's messy is that even if you pick one ship per PR you can't just focus that one ship for bp but rather the whole 1, 2, 3, 4 - not to mention all the weapons that you'd pretty much want from different PR gens.
I'm still hurting for seattle gun or two for example but if I stick to pr2 I'm never going to further 3 or 4 which also have good guns and ships 
I also worry for the UR bulins that don't seem to get "reruns" so you'd get additionals. Instead you either obsess the 4k each month for 4* months (or get lucky with dupes during event, lol) or stay behind.
with opsi and the weekly change hitting 4k is pretty easy i would imagine 
Not even CN could change what they wanted on that, its a lost cause they're to stuck on seeing how bad it is... truly a WoW collab
I hit 4k barely within last month despite grinding a ton to boot. Either way it's ridiculous fomo on top of all the other fomo in the game
And while you're not at it, please fix the icon bug I reported, sick of having to repair the assets to easily see what researchs I have ffs
Well tbh with the PR system nowadays we can see by PR1 that in the future, itll be alot easier to get older PR seasons dev30ed. So if youre patient itll be very easy, and nowadays with D research only giving bps for that ship its easier than ever to focus on a specific ship.
For equipment, you get about 6 equips worth of PR equipment from protocore shop from scrapping your combat data packs, more if you scrap your catchup prints for PR1. While yes, thats not all of the equips you would want, theres alot of alternatives elsewhere in gear lab for what you cant get, with the main exceptions being rainbow gear and the STAAG
and for UR bulins you get one free from the event point accumulation thing during the UR event anyways, so you only need 3 months (or 4 if you dont get 4k a month, which is unlikely unless you don't play much)
They didn't do that event point UR with New Jersey. But with 12 months worth of Bulin you only need 8 for, that leaves 4 whole excess months. I think I calculated in the past you could waste 1333 points per month and still MLB 2 UR's per year.
was the new PR Italian AA gun nerfed?? it used to share the same 120 as the quad Bofor??

oh ok, i was worried cause i couldnt understand why it would be nerfed, but that makes sense
Yeah it'll be easier to do PR3 in 2 years or so. ; ) - I don't mind the "buy daily" system but by that time who knows if the game is still up and running or if any PR3 is even worth their salt.
It's "easier" to focus on specific with that change but ultimately RNG decides if you get those researches anyway.
Scrapping data packs assumes that you already have everything unlocked though. Or just don't want anything unlocked from that specific PR. That's kind of the problem with the core shop; you need to have maxed ships to even get anything from it and then you need those BPs so that you can scrap them.
PR worked fine with PR1 and arguably even with 2, now it just keeps getting more cumbersome and pretty much is collapsing under its own weight unless you're 100% dedicated to the game and even then the gap between 2 & 3 was short, no? One thing the devs really haven't addressed is the eternal gold problem (better daily raids?) since everything costs tons but gains are relatively limited.
I don't remember NJ event having that UR bulin, or at least I didn't get myself. I only know that there's a one-off event for it and wiki for what its worth seems to say the same.
The gap between 2 and 3 was shorter yeah but only for us cause for some reason they took 6 more months to release it for us
Maybe it's just my gripe but the amount of "do this or get left out" has gotten insane. Before you could just pretty much do daily raid and hard mode daily and leave it at that (if no event was on) but now you run through OpSi, get daily meta data, do dailies, etc.
I wonder how much they're really burning players with this
Granted auto-search helps a bit but it's still veers on excessive side of things
well OpSi is meant to give people an end game to play in
My old guild leader already quit cause of that, too much stuff to keep doing for some ppl
Honestly, if I hadn't logged in during perseus event and gotten her I doubt I would have cleared 11-12 until some other arbitrarily strong ship came along, lol
Doesnt help that every darn thing is time capped so you really have to keep doing some stuff daily or get screwed
Even in a year, PR3 will be way easier to do considering you'll get catchup then. IMO its completely fair that newer PR seasons are resource intensive to get; theyre basically endgame ships, and getting them quickly would be rather unbalanced.
Scrapping data packs is still ideal even if you dont have them unlocked, because grinding the exp for a ship is far far faster than getting the bps for them, so its better to just scrap them and get prototype core out of them for PR equips. And if you go by the method i previously refered to, which is by getting a PR1 ship to dev30 via the coin method, and only then setting catchup to them, you can claim alot more protocore as well.
and yea apologies i misremembered, it was shinano event which had a bulin in event point milestone as well.
thats fair imo, but do consider that meta fights take only like 10 minutes to actually do a day, and most of it just involves coming back to click "request support" and dailies are easier than ever considering you can just click "quick battle" on daily raids nowadays
and Opsi doesnt take very long either, as long as you clear the map every month you wont miss out on much actual rewards (as in clear every unsecured zone, and the coordinates)
Regarding the getting screwed or left behind. I think that notion is built upon the premise that most players religiously seek 100% completion. It is true that now adays the game has A LOT of "daily tasks" in several flavors (hard mode, meta cordinates, etc) but obviously no one is forced to partake in all of the content. Most people in my guild don't do PvP at all and around half don't bother with OS after unlocking the meta character
I do admit however that OS must be a lot more taxing for newer players that cannot comfortably auto it
well its kind of meant to be, OS is supposed to be like "post world 13" in some way
I for once think that the transitory weapons in the gear Lab are actually pretty useful for middle chapters of the main campaign
🤔 but on the other hand those payers should be able to get the required materials from lower corrosion maps, just at a slower rate and withstanding the frustration of not being able to clear strongholds and thus buyout the shop each month
idk, while some PRs are good some event ships are just as strong (or stronger) and despite this require no real effort to max out. That's kind of the odd thing about this situation. On that note, old PRs could get reduction in research cost (3k could cost 1.5k and what have you) - but that's definitely not going to happen.
I don't really agree with faster XP unless you're looking at it from "I can grind 12-4 like it's nothing" or that sort of pov (and have LOTS of oil to burn). Especially KMS experience is pure suffering regardless. The system needs some sort of a revamp imo, but that'll never likely happen.
I really think all the pain and frustration around azuma fs5 could have been handed better. There's no real catch-up for DRs even with the 150 prints. (you should able to get about 30-50 DR2 prints a month), even for some vets EN had less than half the time to work on PR2 compared to CN so they didnt have as many extra and most wont whale cubes on research.
PR as a whole at this point feels more luck & sacrifice based than effort & investment based.
If this was a way to "fix" or deal with people trying to say she was powercreeped, this couldn't have been a more wrong direction to go.
Just another meaningless goalpost that discourages new players and burns out veterans with no talk of improving the system.
1/10
Yeah Fate sim really is an odd thing, esp since DR already takes max fate sim amount of BP to max out, I think?
DRs take a slightly bit more than a FS5 PR
And now Daily Raid is pressing a button and Hard Mode raid is doing a singular battle x3. They take like <5 minutes in total. I'm glad we got more to do in game per day than 5 MINUTES of gameplay.
not to mention the DR prints are rarer than hens teeth
making a DR a lot harder to get
rarer ontop of needing like 180% more kinda is like a double whammy
5 minutes?
like coming back to check on commissions every hour, checking on research around every hour, filling up the dorm, doing books in academy, doing meowfficers, doing missions on operation siren, doing hard modes, doing daily raids
I saw some picture far before auto-search and such were implemented and even back then I think AL had the longest daily login time (or close to) like 2 hours, which is honestly quite a lot. But then again, there was/is also the busywork with keeping up with commissions
for some mobile games, of course
it takes like 10 minutes minimum to even clear a C6
can we get some 2x clear tickets in opsi? 
All at the start are not really "gameplay". And have been literally in the game since the start. The ONLY thing added is OPS, and if that's the difference between "too much" and "not too much" I don't really know what to say.
i mean gameplay u can do like campaign maps im just talking about things that are strictly necessary or at least seen as it
And those have literally not changed since inception, except daily raids are easier than ever and OPS is an option. So how does that constitute such a radical change/difference?
strictly necessary would just be daily raids + 1 hard mode for cube tbh 
- logging in for comms/research
and thats extremely easy
yeah maybe if u ignore like 80% of the game 
Honestly my problem isnt the time, theres some days where I want to grind but...
- Go to do opsi then after a while "oops META skills and coordinates are time capped so there goes the incentive"
- Want to continue grinding the whole day then "oops you can only switch PR once a day so there goes the incentive to get more exp"
- Want to farm archives to get some drop ships then "oops ran out of ticket guess ill have to wait"
...just calm down the time capping boner please, crushing the game under its gameplay
if youre cutting the game down to basics then thats all you need to do
also really that like only applies to vets
or people playing the game extremely casually
casuals prob wont even log in once a day anyway, so time restraints dont really matter to them
like, im not saying those are all you need to do, im just saying that at the bare minmum thats all you really need to do
so if youre casual, you can do just dailyraids + 1 hard mode and leave, and come back whenever you have time
I never reached the 30k in one day, I don't switch PR at all, and I don't think I ever got under 25 (new system) / 10 (old). Don't seem much hardles to me 
You gotta play like 10 hours to even reach any of these.
I like grinding 
Could and have grinded on games for entire days
2x should never have been locked to 30 tickets a month
hard mode could add skip feature
I got 150+ of those. You don't really run out if you use them on events. Now if you use them on 12-4 farming, yes, but that's why they are limited.
if you play alot, its worse to use the tickets anyways, since you cant farm for as much with them in one go
u have 150 because you never use them because theyre rare
its like a hoarder thing
we only had like around 200 of them? since the start
i mean, again, if you play alot, its worse to use the tickets, since you will deplete morale far faster
not everyone can sit there for 6 hours babysitting the game though clicking continue
365+104 in mail for me, and ive never used them
the problem is the game has to be on the screen and it has to be running
which either A. ruins ur battery or B. ruins ur computers cpu handling the emulator
C. ruins your game screen if youre on amoled
AL is not really an intensive game to emulate though, and you can keep it running off the screen on the computer, and only pull it up to click continue
It's interesting we got TNT here thinking the game is too harsh on playing too long, and Nyano thinking the game is too harsh on playing too short. Two sides of the player-coin

that applies to every game though? running 2 games at once is difficult for any computer thats not a gaming PC
but your point earlier was that it somehow "ruins your cpu" which is just false, its not like your cpu is running on like 90% or something
it does if i run it with something else, also my point is i cannot run 2 things at once
which means the time i play al is the time i can do nothing else
Also for the emulator thing, maybe it would be nice to have a pc port
And can say that it would attract more players too cause I got a friend that would play AL but doesnt like playing on the phone nor emulators, bet he isnt the only one
maybe a run in background thing would be nice 
if youre actually playing a game you wouldnt have time to play AL anyways, so its a moot point imo.
ok so now thats the point where al suddenly doesnt become a game and becomes a job
well you can still do other stuff while playing al is my point, like watch movies/browse the web etc etc
if youre trying to play 2 games at once thats a different issue, both of concentration and cpu usage
my main problem is i dont wanna sit around and babysit the game 
while it sits there like a vacuum sucking on everything else so im busy, but im not busy
but i think this is a fundamental problem of the game
it will never get fixed
other games have fixed it with things like skip tickets but al went bandaid and gave crappy 2x tickets
skip tickets would be cool
its a fair feedback
and the main reason I hardly pick up the game time to time
i feel like its the main reason most people quit, they no longer have time to play
I attributed all my catch-up DR2 prints to FDG
There are 150 prints for both FDG and Azuma, just saying 😐
Question is... what IS there to skip? OPS? Cause in that case they already have the 5000 oil ripoff. Dailies? Skippable. HARD? One battle. What's there to skip?
I mostly "quit" or have low interest is because boring downtime. Like now, there's nothing much to do... so I'm just waiting for the new content... for 2 weeks. Which is pretty much the polar opposite of "it takes too much time".
Ontop the 300 for the 4 PR ships. Unlike PR1 that was 300/6 and that was it. Also 30 more DR prints for the beginner mission. And 30 more Azuma coming up. And the DRs also still appear from time to time in the medal shop.
actually
. i guess im dumb and thought you only got to pick one DR. but the point remains. im a veteran so this means ill only need about 20 FDG and 50 Azuma prints, but i cant ignore that it still stings for new players or players already feeling overwhelmed by the mountain that is PR
I think I've seen DR print twice on the medal shop in months. It really doesn't attribute to much. The game (un)reliably throws you a bone, a bone that's already been chewed to bits. It kind of feels weird that it's somehow "generous" when you get one print a month extra or something, haha.
DR prints also kinda messed up the event shop where it was nice to grab that 30 bundle and use it between any PR1 but with DR 10k should first and foremost go to the DR prints, which is also sort of pitiable amount anyway. Then you're left with few points if any on the regular prints. Of course depending on how much you obsess grinding the event maps.
the 5000 oil thing speeds up things a little bit but honestly not that much, its more convenience than a speed up
i wish there was a 10000 oil thing that auto completed everything to secure
now that would be a speed up
you want to play the game, or you actually want to skip it? that's a skip, not a speed up
If the game plays itself. What is the sense to play the game?

money speaks. JP and CN both have double the revenue for yostar compared to EN. JP and CN both have 40% of the total revenue for 80% total with just those 2 servers compared to everyone else. A company has gotta pay the bills somehow 
u can use bluestacks 5's eco mode. It barely uses any resources at all
but that depends on your hardware anyway
Yeah but as I asked before "What IS there to skip." As far as I can tell for me its just Events or OPS anyway so if I skip OPS... well, these 2 weeks would be even more boring than they already are. OPS is super optional anyway so if I want to "skip" just... not play. And I think making events even less is also not the way. So what is your boring stuff and what's your "fun"?
i think he wants to skip it but also gets the mats and plates
i just have a question , is theres omething stopping us from updating level of ships from 120 to say 150. , like is there a possiblity we can have that ?
after chapter 14, maybe 
there's no technical reasons, but they're probably trying to avoid the level inflation trap a lot of Eastern RPGs fall into
a big problem is they made the exp curve too steep already
125 to 130 will be like 1-120
they need to find other ways to power up ships than exp imo
Or, they can keep the level at 120, without introducing new systems, and make content/balance the game around it, which imo would be better than rising the level cap each time they feel like adding a new campaign map, as that doesn't.. really do anything other than force players to level up ships again for.. no reason?
Saw the patch notes, KGV skin is getting added (I assume is for perma) which is odd since not Scherzo archive yet so is it because she's finally getting a voice after 3 years or just to fill the shop?
Patch notes don't mention that Helena META is unavailable after maint.
Is that just cause they forgot to mention it? or am I missing something
There... is no listing of the skin being added? Just VO to the skin.
Just re checked and yeah my bad
It was saying new contents above and the CV update is in the previously page
Guess it was about time either way
i completely agree with what you said
i stopped playing the game because of it (actually one of the reasons)
and if i come back i won't whale anymore for sure
DRs literally got overshadowned by URs which you can literally max them out in 2 weeks
whats the purpose of DRs taking so long to max?
i agree
by the time u max them u can get a gacha ship that is on par or better
Agreed. Azuma was also my last unlocked PR2 ship so she's the one I had the least amount of prints for to begin with. After PR4 came out, my guild mates advised me to drop PR2 focus for PR4 even if I wasn't planning to unlock the ships yet since we were getting the bonus prints but like.. now Azuma has Fate Simulation and it feels like I'm back in 2020 when PR3 was announced and I was still trying to finish getting the girls in PR1 taken care of. When I got to PR3 I was exchanging all my rainbow prints for FDG ones to the detriment of future DRs there, and now it kinda feels like I wanna do the same thing with PR4 if I want Azuma or possibly Drake (who I still haven't unlocked yet).
Like, as neat as the PR ships are as a concept, they do take far too long and then a new SSR or UR will come out, or somebody will get a retrofit, and suddenly it's like "why did I bother?" Yeah, completion is a part of why I play and it gets under my skin seeing how little growth they get, but it feels like I'm trying to empty a sinking ship (no pun intended) with a bucket that has holes in it. 
It would be nice in opsi when you check exploration progress if theres was a button that took you to the sector on the map
in this section
and there could be a little button that says like “go there” or something and it would take you to this screen with the sector already selected :

that would be a really nice QoL
don't forget u have to do this to actually give feedback ^^
But its probably already been suggested back in january 😦
F
Was there any reason why CE/whatever other event didn't get archived after last week's maintance? Last week and this week are effectively dead periods.
since EN has rateup on archived events for a week unlike CN/JP its hard to slot it in anywhere without ppl complaining that its too many rateups in a row
archive into UR 
An option to disable new guild operation notifications would be nice. Annoying to see them every time I log into the game.
I’ve been meaning to make a suggestion on that for a while now. There is clearly an ❗ on the guild tab, I do not need to see a message cause I went to deal with commissions and books first.
Two week dead periods are very rare and it would be better just to omit the rate up, otherwise we'll be lucky to see any archivings before 2022
I really feel that there should be a single week of rate-up, so that people who want to take the chance can, but otherwise it won't adversely affect the server catching up. I don't believe that removing rate-up entirely is a good idea, but I understand that we don't need lengthy periods, either. That said, the dead time after a major event is something most players will not willingly give up.
Many of us experience bad RNG and can easily burn through 400 cubes trying to get that last damn ship. Just cause some are lucky and get them all in a few days (which I've experience both of these situations) doesn't mean the rest should be penalized for it.
War Archive rate ups are only a week tho so they can just add the war archive whenever they want to, assuming they havent forgotten about us that is
Ah, I forgot how long they lasted. Some of the comments I've seen had me thinking they were longer. 
Here we go again with the rate-up discussion. 
Remember it got downvoted to hell in #collected-feedback
Also (again) they obviously didn't do it now due to the upcoming UR event.
Sorry, didn't mean to keep it going. 
people would rather spent another 400 cubes chasing the same last ship with an event on the horizon, that's why I suggested a permanent tweaked wishing well and surprise surprise, also over 50% downvotes
that's why I'm done with lurking this server, I owe it to my brain cells to keep away
Better to steer clear from suggestions that could potentially benefit the player, huh 😉
I think it's pretty sad that people have internalised that EN doesn't deserve better treatment solely because EN doesn't make "enough" money.
Which isnt really true cause EN already catched up on JP in some months
Even if less money was made it's honestly no excuse to have worse treatment because ultimately it will also reflect on players and how they'll promote a game to other people.
Also, I've realised that while the face researches just give bps to that specific ship I barely ever get bonus prints (and still consistently roll that delicious 1 bp from the 3k research) so I can't help but feel it's currently partly worse off. Especially since I could at least utilise those extra bps for finished ships through the bp store if nothing else.
I mean they really didnt make it better, they just swapped what bps you get not the way you get them
Sure you can complete one ship faster but then will have to use more time on other, dont know why ppl didnt realize that yet since its basically the same old thing
Beats me. The only thing that really seems better is using purple boxes on those collection researches and gold equipment research actually giving considerable amount of bps
I managed to luck out on Drake research yesterday and got 3x 3k
Managed to get 3 bp in total 😎
Join the club. We've been saying that since the start, but apparently we "needed more data" to definitively conclude that :/ It was a fairly big discussion point after PR4's release.
I certainly feel like I'm getting less for the same price tag since I don't get extras for other ships
Was the data collection ever made public or is still ongoing?
or whatever happened to it
I've been meaning to ask this for a long time, but why is it that Tactical Training gives a tiny amount of coins compared to the other Daily Raids? According to the wiki, it's rewards don't change with difficulty level and only drops around 300 coins. Compared to the others which all have upwards of 1200 coins. Players are always starving for coins, and even just raising it to like 600 for completion would be helpful.
because the main reason for doing those is for cognition chips in order to awaken ships to lvl 120
I do agree there are a lot of gold sinks in the game but it is also quite easy to just save coins as well
e.g. 12 hr and gear plate researches
however more and more coin sinks have appeared in the game with no new sources of gold either
Awakening is kind of expensive, though, so it just seems like it'd make sense to give more than a piddly amount of coins.
well if u use all the gold u got from the daily raids for chips, u'd have enough to awaken
per 50 chips u get 300 gold, 2200 chips = 44 runs = 13.2k gold + natural regen over the 14-15 days u had to do the 3 daily stages means u have enough to lvl 120 any SSR ship
Idk about you but I do the other raids (except the box one cause too many of those already) for mainly general plates, gold books and hopefully mk8 prints
Coins are a great bonus tho
I do all of them for the coins... anything else is just icing. And I think those are lower cause you can do them 7 days a week, rather than the others 3.
i personally think the daily missions could get new harder mode
lvl 70 wednesday battle is way too easy with my lvl 100+ ships
Testing area when
launching a pr ship should reset the development cooldown, a bit of qol for those that avoid launching completed PR ships to save dock space
That is very niche, and wouldn't the +1 dock per PR/META be a much better sollution for the same "issue".
Reduce the Meowficcer build time 
or at least make it easier to use the cat fast finisher. like how ship finish now works
it'd be cool if there was a targeting system or something, it would work like you select a target and all your ships will only target that selected target, including main ships bcause its annoying when the battleships shoot at suicide bombers instead of the high priority target, selecting a target would work like just clicking on a target, unselecting it by clicking on the selected target again
Even worse, 2023
Yeah. Rate up for archive should've just for events that not ran normally like FW and WC.
Please don't make rate up as if it's normal for all archives and should've just release every new archive at the same time as other servers. It's not that hard to do so if you don't insist to put those unnecessary rate up for every archives.
I hope yostar can adjust azur lane file size.because the azur lane size is too big.it cost around 6.45 gb(24%) of random phone.
Add a battery optimization feature, this game drains my phones battery and my heats up like HELL when I am in game for literally 5 minutes (I use an iPhone) I also play epic seven, and I noticed while looking in the game settings it has one, and it keeps my games battery stable and my phones temperature much more cooler then azur lane
out of curiosity, which iPhone are you using? My 8 Plus behaves fine while playing the game, does get warm though.
I have an iPhone xs
Clean up the destroyer ship comment section of literal depravity that are some comments of repeat offenders or give us option to report it
have you tried running the game on:
30 FPS
Hide skin backgrounds
not using a L2D secretary
autosearch battery saver etc?
a lot of it is art and voice lines, if u resinstall the game, then it will be slightly smaller as u won't have any voicelines

the normal battle AI usually does prioritise humanoid targets/certain skills will do what you ask e.g. Warspite. Also that's just a part of auto, unless u want to manual it then u can choose where the BB shoots anyway
Spoot prioritises the farthest away target, humanoid or not and the other british bbs will target it if it doesnt die
autosearch battery saver is Android only
ah ic fair enough
one thing to note is that autosearch battery saver doesnt actually work
it just sets screenbrightness to a fixed thing
Which even why, you can already do that if you want and the majority of phones now has adaptable brightness if need be
prob just 🍝 code
ironically I've heard lots of reports it actually increases brightness cause most people have their phone brightness below 25%
add an intercept option to https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Messerschmitt_Bf_109G_(Carrier-based_Prototype)
it has an AA gun, but is lacking overall AA capabilites. adding an intercept option makes it a more viable fighter plane. it already lacks dmg against heavy armor no need to cripple it twice.
It kinda feels like it's meant to be used with a Wyvern, because the Wyvern does intercept despite being a Torpedo Bomber.
wyvern has AA guns, so does this one
Pls add an option adjustment for auto search. Instead of just nearest enemy make an option to search for the most difficult enemy
it's a trade off, it is the best DPS fighter vs light
light and medium actually
then it's fine right? other fighters will be better vs heavy
but still not having an passive intercept i would probably still chose pirate over BfG
that's that's the tradeoff then right?
also the rockets fire from outside AA range
or u can just use it with a double fighter slot CV / another CV
i think having a unique fighter is good since it gives u more choices rather than "haha, easy upgrade, slap that on everyone"
the rocket fighter kind of forces you to think, imo
a fighter is a fighter
i'd say usecases are too minimal right now. and a PR weapon with minimal usecases is already annoying
a rocket plane is a rocket plane ^^
"do I give up interception for bigger boom?"
exactly
it has splash damage, you just won't notice it unless the ships are on top of each other
right now i think it mostly just looks cool with the rockets but very usefull it is not
it's a tradeoff and prevents too much gear powercreep which i think is a good thing
the rockets are VERY useful you're just too focused on the downsides of the fighter
also it's like someone earlier said, u could use it with a wyvern to counter the issues
or like I said earlier, just use another CV for fighter interception/CV with double fighter slots
so u can still equip a proper fighter
has higher reload, no passive intercept, deals very low dmg against heavy, no splash dmg
alot of downsides
upsides are that it fires outside of AA range and does the best dmg vs light and medium like u said earlier
just like how torps are not good vs light armour
It's a light/medium armor boss fighter, its not meant to be used in every situation
neither is AP vs light armour
the Wyvern actually has better AA than the Rocket Fighter anyway
it's a new type of plane that doesn't have its own dedicated slot
the fighter slot makes sense but making it a fighter + rocket planes seems wayy too OP
higher chapters where more AA is required its a pretty dumb plane to have tho
yeah so you just don't bring it and bring actual fighters, not a rocket plane
again, you use it against light and medium bosses, it's not a general purpose plane.
also PvP because again, fires from outside AA range
I get your point in not wanting useless gears
but it's wayy more universal than the new AP CB gun
But it's like, you're trying to use the plane in scenarios it wasn't meant for
i mean rather had seen this in gear-lab instead of PR gear
right now its pretty much like a CB main gun, you get 1 thats it
like these 2 planes are the only non niche gears in PR4
since one is an AP CB gun only aegir and azuma can equip
one is an AP BB gun that can only be used against medium
and the rocket plane is like you said, however u can use it for rocket memes and equip it on any carrier
where you don't need high AA
well yea, but no passive intercept thats my point
yeah, we're saying it's a tradeoff for the rockets which I think is fair
if it were to have passive intercept you wont shoot yourself in the foot by just having it equipped
afterall rocket planes =/= fighters
well i'd imagine u should know that is the tradeoff before using it
they are the first PR planes afterall
if they are that diffrent from fighters it should have been either a parseval skill or a aux item
it doesnt make sense to do either of those though
well the skill maybe but not an aux item
u want to be able to equip 5 different planes on a CV?
Damn Haze in 3 different seasons and staag only in the first, nice decision 
special aux items are usually unique equip
and 4th ^
i think u can submit your suggestion but I don't think that many people will think it's a necessary change
no ones stopping you at least
Meant the other one, maybe its not staag and im remembering wrong
u said haze in 3 different seasons and staag only in 1st. Staag is in 1st and 4th (current one)
my main issue is that alot of the PR4 gear is niche and thats annoying
Yeah remembered it as staag too for some reason, meant the twin 100mm
Why Haze and staag on the same season, PR3 has the best for vanguard and second for main so PR4 should have best for main and second best for vanguard
At least makes more sense for me then having 2 main aa gun, one that is in 2 seasons already
Quite a lot of the comments on ships in-game are depraved and vulgar. I don't even like going in there, even though I wanna click the heart for my girls. It's a shame you can't toggle the
without stepping into those cesspools.
oh yeah that can be a problem, no wonder the age restriction in this game got increased with time apart from several other reasons
Yeah it's not great. It was speculated to me they just stick the Hazemayer in to fit the required items per season but they could include any of those other AAs 
looks at 200+ PR2 CB gun prints. Wish we could do something with those, also all the confetti guns I got from PR. Why us there confetti in PR?
Idk what ppl are expecting the comments to be on a degenerate game 
remove comments 🤣
Up for remove comments
true but like…. it’s a loli
@stone valley I understand that you were making a point, but please don't post stuff like that on the server.
If you want, there's a way to report comments via this server using Belfast bot. Use command !submit in #bot-spam and choose "Report a Player" option. Staff member will take a look at these.
sorry 
so true as well, the gear is nice but realistically we don't need more than 1-2
at least for now... who knows if there will be a lot more CBs in future
Same question for...
Munition ships, Repair Ships (they got a whole sort function for 2!), BBV, SSV.
Still wondering why Surcouf isnt a SSV tbh (she should be her own thing but then would be just filling up)
Night comms available for all timezones when
Missing on so many cubes, that's not fair 
can we seperate Ryuuhou for Ryuuhou-class, Chitose and Chiyoda for Chitose-class from Zuihou-class.. i know they are same as light carrier, but for aspect historically, is clearly different class thank you
Can we please get an option to just manually lock specific equipment so it just wont appear in scrap screen anymore?it will prevent accidents as well as reduce the amount of time you need to waste to look through stuff
makes me wonder why do we not have this system if we already have it for ships and its working
also on the topic of systems that are already in the game but werent properly used like ^
we have gifs for AOA barrages for vanguard but nothing outside of it when it could have been used to show and explain CV or BB barrages or make short ingame demonstration to some mechanics (bcs lets be honest the game doesnt do that nearly at all,and at least something like that could help)
We cant see damage dealt by subbs if we have full fleet but we can switch to see their exp
cant select multiple types of equipment in depot sorting when we can do it for the ships
(like if i wanned to select aux and all of the plane type equipment to check the general situation for CVs gear)
hardmode saves full fleet comp and the order given on auto while normal saves only the order,fleets are sorted to 1-6 each time meaning first two slots are always fleet 1 and 2 regardless
cant shuffle fleets around slots/order and have to create them each time from new for situations like above
cant select multiple vanguard or backline ships at the same time at fleet screen even doe the system for it exists for dorm or exp hall
u can see the dmg dealt by subs if u press the small arrow at the bottom of the damage screen @fierce ember
u can also sort by AVI for plane equipment
u can also reselect the fleet in normal campaign even though it's annoying it resets every time u relog
the last 2 things I pointed out are just workarounds rather than actual solutions implemented into the game though so it would be nice to have those options
hopefully the above helps with some of your issues above ^
please increase the odds of rares in wishing well to 5% alongside other events, im down hella bad for baches and i cant get them
also add her to core shop and to the guild shop
im swimming in guild currency and cant spend it
so apparently the lighthouse now spawns revealed in siren zones? which is... nice I guess, except it costs 1 ESD (which is worth 5 reset tickets) when we have the regular scan which is free, so it's still completely pointless?
unless you're chaining lots of treasure maps and don't want to spend AP on scan 
but you still have to find the lighthouse to use it 
With how many AP boxes that gives you it wont be a problem, been doing exactly that and didnt buy Akashi's ones now... still got a few
I would like to avoid such a crappy situations 
Just use repair kit 

has anyone else just never noticed that the MAX oil/gold thing is a box that kinda clips the + sign?
sorting by a thing and selecting SPECIFIC equipment types is not the same
I did mention that already when I replied to you
which is why its still valid regardless
and not that i didnt know about them
the way you worded it seemed like you didn't know those were a thing so I just wanted to help but if u knew already then it's all good
but as I also said already, having those ideas implemented would be good to have as well
rather than using the work arounds/redoing it every time
Top 2 skills make it very impossible to beat it for the lower 95% player base. So healing 25% when she hits 30% hitpoint plus every 20 seconds she generates a “invincibility” shield
I have always believed that they need to nerf that healing ability, but I've always been in the minority, it seems.
it's one of the few places for actual "end game content" that the game lacks a lot of currently
if u cant beat 1-2 abyssals a reset you're not losing out on too much
bcs minority played the OPSI or actually tries harder content,most of players are here for the other obvious stuff
all that is needed to do is debuff the skill by usual 30% if your adaptivity is higher then the targets
this would cut that heal from 25% to nearly 17% which should remove the stupid damage check that skill is
🦀 the value of SR is gone 🦀
Guess its not the year of the cow anymore, the bunnies took over 
battlepass 🚮
im surprised that this anni had so much content
besides all the IJN bias
might actually return playing this game
so good job
im just worried about this battlepass
and selling skins through it
that doens't sound... okay...
There's a battlepass? 
yes
Hope the new daily raid levels bring a LOT more dosh... and that they too can just be skippable if desired. And of course, not requiring you to sport full UR fleet with +13 gear fOr ThE chAllENgE, because that would honestly be really lame considering the amount of money required to do anything in this game.
where gear lab update 🤣
Whatever you do, please do not lock an optainable ship behind a paywall.
So uh, just noting that Ent's race queen skin preview has what looks like "US NAVY" instead of "EAGLE UNION" on her gloves.
Just like how Cassin and Downes have US Navy on their shirts. So more than likely intended in Enty's case. Could be wrong though.
And Intrepid iirc
And honestly im more concerned about the META ships on the battlepass
You have a whole system for them (the thing that makes Opsi worth tbh) but no
probably two types of battlepass, free and paid
We don't know any details for now.
Please save feedback about it till we actually know what it is and what it does.
AFAIK the current known thing so far is that there will be seasonal missions, of which Fusou Meta is the reward, and then a seasonal pass on top of the seasonal missions that will give Yorktown's skin. That would match up to the current game systems where the skins are monetised.

Pre-emptive "No" on battle passes. If you think that please correct course.
I mean, if you need to do it once... unlike say 14-4 till that ship drops...
I'll be lucky to ever reach 13-4 anyway. 😄 The money gains really come to a screeching halt once you have the best 10h comm and merchant unlocked while the money required just goes up and up.
On that note, the 1-2 DRILL and SR box versions of the 10h comm are still criminal in existence; would be a good spot for general print gains instead.
I would prefer less drills in general from commissions.
i like AL add a new feature to sell all equipment acquired with opening boxes
i have over 1k purple boxes. i wish we could open 10 boxes then sell them in instant .
Yeah regular comms just ooze more than enough drills (not to mention daily build) and then you have 1200 oil commission that rewards you with even more useless drills.
Okay, latest translation on the season pass thing.
Seasonal quests are new free content, pseudo-event lasting for two months. You get awarded points for clearning missions, which can be exchanged for rewards, including Fusou Meta.
The season pass is applied on top of the seasonal quests to increase the number of points you get for clearing missions, plus getting a skin on top of it (in this case, Yorktown's skin).
Noice
Another shop? Tired of them.
So it’s kinda like the weekly mission? In a way
Sounds like it.
That is good. But I know a lot of people are worried about it with reason
Sounds more like the friendship points of chan-events
And instead of x2 if chan is with you... x2 if YOU PAY US COLD HARD CASH...
i think the way to obtain XP should be reworked somehow
maybe the way to get our ships to 125 specificaly
it already takes way too much time to lvl up a ship to 120
no it does not.
Whatever happens, don't add Season Pass, don't let this Game go down Death's Road.PLEASE!
Season pass helps keep game's healthy
Or add it under a unique form. No paywall. Nothing. Just plain AL with Monthly Missions that gib Fusou META at the end of them.
could be like AL isn't doing well with just selling skins alone
Sorry but... That stuff is a Poison to any Game. Slowly killing it until it is no more.
well they have merch nowdays
I hope the worst won't come. Battle Pass could be a sign a game isn't doing well financially, or could just be me being pessimistic. But let us wait and see, for the moment I won't feel much pressured.
but yeah im worried that they might paywall ships on it but theres no proof yet so
the only thing we can do rn is wait and see what happens
at least they would put skin behind it. a fucking good one I hope, so that my money is justified
and I don't mind supporting the game I love
even with skins is a bit strange i personaly wound't pay cuz i rather pay for one directly from store, but many would do i guess.

and yeah if they do it
it will obviously be more pricy than skins from store
so theres that
both seasonal quest and season pass are free content or the pass applied on top is a payed thing?
Don't really know how another layer of grind will be healthy for the game tbh (doubly so if it's going to be miserable without paying).
This is just my opinion, i think
It won't be a problem if the missing for this seasonal thing is same as daily/weekly missions with some extra. At least that's how it works in others game
It will sort of depend on what the mission will entail, yeah. But if they're going to be like Clear chapter X using only Y it's going to be a lot more miserable
Why don't they introduce it similarly to Weekly Missions, with added Objective(s) to get the Better reward instead of making us Pay for it.
I still dread that it will bring the end closer. In worst case, it will bring their Revenue even further down. As we will have to pay for not only the Skin at X Lvl of the seasonal pass, but also for the other stuff. Resulting in less People buying it.
They have the absolute healthiest way of getting Money, bringing us joy through Skins that are reasonably priced and great Content overall. And they still choose to take the overused Path to increase their gains. For me personally, this is a sign of big concern to the Future.
Since don't know much about it. We'll have to wait and see
If you want my honest opinion. The moment i heard season/battle pass. The hype I'm feeling from previous announcement is gone and now I'm scared. We'll need to wait and see
I don't like it. But maybe what they're thinking on doing is different from what we think it is 
Trust me. I'm shacking a bit ever since I've read that in the Imgur Posts.
I just hope they know that this could potentially kill the AL really quickly. But also ruin the wonderful Niche they've made for themselves.
They should focus on fixing what already in-game rather than adding new stuff
As I said before, another Tab in the Missions called "Monthly Missions".
It's going to be 50/50. either nothing really changes or massive backlash
Just hoping the grind of it isnt affected by the time gating boner
Ohhh Good Lord! This will be the hardest Time of my Life.
Probably not. I was thinking the CN Play Time restiction will affect it greatly.
- check pins for general gist of season pass - it's an item store implied to be in a similar vein to limited events and core data; we'll have to see what the 'additional rewards' are apart from the yorktown skin but it doesn't seem to sound much worse than their other limited content and the existing monthly trade pass
If it is like any limited Event Shop, with it's own unique missions and gists. Then my worries and anxiety are for nothing.
concerned about this TL because there's a small part that seems to be wrong - do you mind if I DM or do you prefer I run it here
But then... Why have a premium version of it?
Just for more Points?
Yeah when i read it again it sounds more like event shop type rather than usual battle pass in other games
additional items, including skin, and to skip having to collect points
The last part is litteraly Pay 2 progress.
That's not what I had in mind...
We'll have to wait and see
they have similar bypass features too - see spending 5k fuel to clear opsi
Hmm...
I don't see it as being a big deal but it depends on how hard the missions are
Don't forget to pray. Maybe.
it's in 2 month cycles so as a regular player I doubt it'd be difficult but I'm unsure how it might be for more casual players
Mind if I DM you, so that we don't clutter this Channel up?
go ahead
in any case, I think you/your source have/has 進捗 confused as a description for the points instead of contained within the object 進捗ポイント; contextually the full quote is「そして、シーズンパスの方なんですけれども、こちら進捗ポイントがイキナリ大幅アップだったりとか、シーズン任務の報酬が追加されるものとなっております。」which implies very heavily that it is a single instance of getting clearing points. Yorktown's skin also doesn't sound like the only reward, which is a bit harder to explain because it's introduced in a way that sounds like it's expanding the singular focus on the skin to the entire 'additional rewards' category if you just take its introduction at face value
Ngl, I agree there are worries about the battlepass but whatever they've planned probably won't get backtracked now just because of what people want from it. Just be patient and wait for details to be released about the battlepass before jumping to any conclusions. Also maybe go through 1 battlepass cycle to see if it's actually alright or not.
「こちらシーズンパス購入済みの状態でシーズン任務の追加報酬でがらしか入手出来ませんので」states outright it's additional pass-exclusive content for the shop, but it does imply to me there's more because of what's not specifically being said in the clarification; the introduction is focused on the skin and not on explaining things so the language used sounds more misleadingly explicit than it is
but I can get into more detail later or with specific phrases
general announcement at 10:41:40 on livestream
they've added plenty of item shops before; I'd be extremely surprised if this represented that much of a significant departure
from the general norms which they've established and leaned on to explain it
Anybody know what happened there and what was fixed?
mouth
see above - season missions are free, season pass gives you a bunch of points and adds items to the shop
Ty, my first impression was "wtf is that face"
Looks like one of those meme faces that remove the nose part
Took a closer look at the summary now
Pretty nice stuff in general, battle pass will wait to see and melee weapons seem interesting in concept ||and possibly coin pain with more levels||
Good improvements overall 
It wasn't clear on how exactly they'd implement it
and they said to look forward to the details, so close combat could be any number of things
straight melee would be definitely interesting though
glowworm meta 
melee battleship combat 
izumo 
i asked about which of that is paid content or all is free since i doubted york skin and boost to points is gonna be a free thing which then begs the question how doable its gonna be without the boost if its a paid thing
"season pass gives you a bunch of points and adds items to the shop"new info?
just be patient and wait for the patch note information + mechanics to be released...
the item added to the shop is probably the yorktown skin
fusou meta is the one everyone can get for free apparently but just still wait for them to confirm how it works
i am patient,but this whole thing is very concerning
idk about u but i think the game is already very F2P friendly, if u can pay to help yourself progress a little bit faster I don't really see any issues with that being P2W
since it's a single player waifu collector game at heart
generally yes,specially with rolls in comparison to other,but for collectors not really as dock becomes an issue at one point
the main concern is that if this can be a testing ground we can see a content lock behind a paywall like some other games did with battlepasses or making it grindy to the point of not playable without cash ins
well it's all speculation for now, keep the pitchforks locked away until full details are announced and we actually get to experience it

Really don't want to see Azur Lane become like other, notoriously greedy gacha games. It's been really good to us by comparison.
No keep the pitchforks armed till more info... then we can sheethe them (or not).
im trying to get a jinsu drop and every time the game DC's every time it wuld be a jinsu drop i get all the other but jinsu when it DC's
Seems the solution to your problem is not to DC.
#gameplay-help probably knows the answer to that question.
oh woops i didnt realise i was in the wrong chat, my bad
I've been told a couple of times on Reddit and Twitter that the oath gowns "aren't profitable" and that's why we see so few of them. Which never sat well with me since 600 gems isn't that much lower than 780 for other outfits. I know there's players out there who prefer to give rings to girls who have oath gowns, so that's still a venue that's not being tapped properly.
I hope you will not make w14 like w13 but with lvl 125 enemies. Pls add there some new hard mechanics, like smokescreens for enemies, suicide boats throwing mines, which damage VG while going on them, on their way, Kamikadze planes damaging VG, etc. Also adding some humanoid submarines would be a nice idea.
Pls don't make it just AA cancer, let people think about new builds, another ships etc.
humanoid submarine bosses already exist
But only in SoS
and events
I really wouldn't trust either of those sources. On Azur Lane related content or anything else at all.
It is only for me or Unryuu has weird face? Im sure that memes started with launching her on livestream
you mean katsuragi? but yeah, her face is weird
#game-feedback message fixed version
This. Mod this guy, he's a hero.
Seriously, that would be a very good modification to the current art. I really think the current memes about her face are exaggerated, but that edit clearly makes her look way better still.
I assume katsuragi is going to be an ojou-sama type character, and her face looks like that because it's her looking down on us, the fixed version loses that nuance
heh face best face 
I feel these shipgirls are being pushed out rapid fire again. Katsuragi gives off Dragon Empry vibes to me. I prefer Kancolle's design. Same with Saratoga on rapid fire design.
I wish more care would be placed towards these shipgirls.
Now you mention it, she really does look more like a Chinese character than a Japanese one. Personally, I just wish the default designs were less ridiculous looking. Save the promiscuity or sex-appeal for the alternative outfits and give them some decent clothing instead. Stop putting them in skimpy tights or underboobs or piecemeal stuff, and go back to outfits that actually looked like they belonged to a given faction. You know, naval uniforms (that fit), coats, etc.
I look at ships like Allen M Sumner and Katsuragi and it's like "did the wardrobe department just throw up on them?" New Jersey, Bremerton, Minneapolis and others all look unique, sure, but they also all look rather ridiculous. I know I'm in the vocal minority on this stuff, but I miss designs like Koln, Noshiro, Casablanca where the default designs are more conservative and you can surmise at a glance which faction they're with.
I'm not here to argue sexual appeal. That can easily be hijacked by sjws. I just want shipgirls to have that proper standards and quality.
The game needs to make money so that is all I have to say about outfits. I wish Saratoga was as cool as her Kancolle counterpart, same with Katsuragi and even Pola/Zara who appear as one a other. Pola even appearing as Honolulu but that is now water under the bridge. Katsuragi appears so damn weird to me with the Dragon Empry vibes. I don't mind her being a loli, just do things correctly.
Though I've seen my opinions and feedback don't matter (swept under the carpet) I will note this still because it's a noteworthy one. Katsuragi rubs the wrong way. Rapid fire designs, etc.
I apologize in advance but what are these "rapid-fire" designs and could you list your reasons as they are "rapid-fire"?
Because i do not see what you are seeing right now imo
Drawn quickly and released quickly while also appearing lower quality to Kancolle designs especially. I'm not the only one who noted this. I've also turned a blind high constantly because I enjoy Azur Lane.
People keep pointing out loli battleships.
Honolulu, Pola and Zara
Saratoga
Katsuragi to katsuragi, Saratoga to Saratoga. Kancolle wiki.
Need more ships with clothing so tight you can see the navel, like Katsuragi. Preferrably lolis 😭
Each to their own I guess. For Katsuragi she appears in her teens while being flashy green with slight gritty detailing while Azur Lane version appears dragon Empry.
Sumner, Brem, NJ and Minnie
Implying the US didnt look like a circus before
I do agree on some but others are good, Nürnberg is a good example of horny while keeping the faction theme
with sara the quality of base to base and max retro to max retro has a difference i agree, however the character is represented differently in both games
As such i cannot determine whether the difference is indeed the "rapid-fire" design's fault or not
You can tell Kancolle katsuragi is Japanese while Azur lane is dragon Empry vibes.
Should have said that sooner (hard to type on phone)
Yeah that is very true
Yeah, I agree they're represented differently. Just wish that "cool factor" was kept with Saratoga, not a whiny idol. Ticonderoga is much cooler than Saratoga to me in Azur Lane. Same with Shanhri-La.
Considering her face, wouldnt take the thought of her being a quick last decision for the event which then doesnt leave much time to get a good design
(And the other is just Atago)
I feel that this argument may lead to a spiral of bland and "cool" designs
Variety is what makes Azur lane work
And without drastically different design language, this game has no way of showing off a ship from another
Variety is what made me jump from Kancolle to Azur Lane, though certain shipgirls get pushed out prematurely.
I'm still waiting for Maple Monarchy but the rapid fire stuff what my concern is.
Theyve done Russians and Italians right. Well, minus Pola and Zara with Honolulu part. Everything there is mostly right.
Wouldnt say more for the ships themselves but for some of the skins
KGV's didnt get a voice for years until recently, Tirpitz' new years skins looks like she got hit with a crowbar on the legs and Veneto and Boise's L2D ballons that just look wrong
Yeah the devs kinda decked this department more imo
Not to say that some bases could be better but overall the skins have more problems
Bismarck and Tirpitz went the right way, as with Littorio. They were drawn similar and seriously. That serious tone in their weaponry and stance. Not 1:1, just the tone. There is a way to go similar without copying each other.
seriously is a bad metric with drawing
I will say that one thing they've been doing for a while now on the bases that I hate is that they come out in their retrofit forms
Nürn, Valiant and such have good designs yeah but then feels like they will never get smth like a new skill, as expensive as they are retros have a special thing to them
I noted Shangri-la and Ticonderoga for the "Seriously" metric. As with the Russians in the game.
Are ships not allowed to be serious?
If they are not allowed, we come to my point of bland and merging designs that makes ships hard to differentiate against
Feels like we're having a misunderstanding somewhere
Or everything I'm saying is being deflected
wait i forgot clarify mb
are the ships meant to be serious, or the drawings of the ships?
Just drawn properly and with standards. They can be goofy as long as it fits. Saratoga doesnt fit. Kasumi fits, Bache fits (if weirdly). They need that yostar/Manjuu quality control. You saw how Azur Lane Katsuragi has Dragon Empry vibes right?

At least for me and a few other folks. Never done a tally for Saratoga about her popularity. As for a fix, maybe make an alternate reality Saratoga similar to the muse with a more likeable personality. Less obnoxious and more connected to the 1930-40 period. Note the Saratoga design for Kancolle how she has 1930 era weaponry on her. Meta style maybe in Azur Lane's case.
It may be difficult but it can be easily done. Since I'm not with Yostar something like this will never be done.
It may never get fixed because I may be viewed as a minority and I'll just stay agitated by Azur Lane Saratoga. 🤷♂️
a more likable personality
its personal opinion so...
Maybe, but I'm not the only one.
I'm sure there are people who admire Saratoga in AL form so I'm not asking for a removal or redesign, maybe at least a duplicate unit on her own actual design. Not a rush job because they had to start the game from somewhere. It's up to Yostar/Manjuu how they want to do it, IF they want to do it. I'm not expecting it. I digress because I came here because of Katsuragi not Saratoga.
I agree with katsuragi belonging somewhere she doesn't look to be in. However, i personally dont recognize it as a rapid-fire design but a deliberate design decision which i cant do anything about. That is where i stand on that.
I guess. I do agree with it being a deliberate design. I will still obtain her though shall see if I warm up to her. Too many shipgirls, etc. As with my previous experiences I simply have to go along with it. I'm still noting my feedback. What has been said has been said and it'll just go in a weirder way. On an ignorable side note wonder if and when we are getting proper maple Monarchy. Maybe as long as it took to have Shimakazes event.
I want Yukon 
Same. I hope world of warships and Yostar allows us to have her as priority with the other Canadians. Haida, Quebec, Ontario, and even the CVs.
Would the pre-ww1 queen Elizabeth battleship trio even count? Makes me wonder and worry.
Tbh I don't really care for the fact that cowtits is the default with increased skimpiness
Same. Lewdness is normal in the world.
And that seems to be the direction. Maybe it's what sells, but still. Phoenix still looks really nice imo, but apparently artist is gone(?) so she'll never get as much as a skin
Oh? The artist being gone? Could get someone to draw them, no? Also, I'm fine with the breast sizes in this game, real world isn't standardized with varying sizes also. Flat to big, yeah. It helps Azur Lane to stay afloat.
I don't really know how it works but the artist doesn't seem to be active. Then again, could just be that they don't see the money potential in her.
Maybe. Who knows. I've seen devs go quiet then drop their product after a time. Hopefully they're simply quietly drawing stuff up. Maybe I'm wrong here.
Phoenix has the same artist as Eugen and Helena (among many others).
Also Sanrui and NC original artist stopped and they got skins
So it's just likely that there's no interest? Alright.
Add possibility to gain affinity in OS. Maybe 1/64 per battle, even with MVP would be ok, because now it can happen when you have 120 ship with 50 affinity just because you leveled this only in OS
Unicorn already has an oath 
Glad to see some others saying they're tired of huge breasts being the norm. It's like someone forgot that mature, adult women can have smaller breasts. The wonky idea I see throughout anime that really gets under my skin is the idea that breasts = maturity. All you gotta do is look around while you're out and see that isn't true. So we keep winding up with the bizarre dynamic that all small breasted characters are lolis or teens, and only bigguns like Bismarck (who I love don't get me wrong) are considered adults.
As does Eugen 
So how do Kashino or Anchorage fit in that profile?
(But yes, yay for more loli's, it was getting overboard)
Oh yeah, oathed her so long ago that I forgot lmao
Dont put wishing well with new ur event,it kinda horrible
Can you guys not get dead artist to make ship girls? They don't get skins ever, while other active artist ship girls keep getting skins
How does one get a dead artist to make a ship girl though?
A collect all button for when ur in the commissions tab?
They’ve been putting wishing wells with major events for awhile. like… not the smartest thing to do IMO 
Can we have something like friendly exercise match with friends or guild mate that doesn't cost anything? Just for fun or maybe test a fleet comp.
They always do this, but at the same time you basically know beforehand that every year we will get 2 wishing wells, one on CN anniv and one on JP or EN anniv (depending on which server you’re in). And since anniv always is associated with some major event it’s unavoidable. That said, if you’re aiming for a specific ship from wishing well just save beforehand since you know when it’s coming 
Well, we already got ours so that's for JP (And CN?) but not us. So your wish is already granted. We even got no WA to prepare your cubes for this...
Change confetti gun to only fire automatically at planes like how fighters intercept planes
Or have 1 main gun fire manually with normal/he/ap shells and the other 1-2 guns fire automatically at planes
#MakeConfettiGunGoodAgain
get other artist 🙂 iirc it was already done few times so no issue
Can you add numbers in the stage name for OpSi, seeing that there are also numbers in the info Exploration Progress
thx
@fierce ember
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
is this also on collected feedback?
Yeah it should be there aswell. Try searching for stronghold in there (discord doesn't let me copy links for some reason, sorry).
I think you need to enable developer mode
i don't think adding affection to opsi is a good idea
because ships do not actually "sink" in opsi
therefore they can not lose morale for sinking
if affection is gained then the converse must also be the case too
so they'd also lose morale / affection from sinking too much
keeping it as is should be okay I think but that's just my 2 cents
Please, die.
I want to oath my subs, u know?
plus it's been a general rule in the game that only actions that cost oil give affection
^
sub in secretary slot till 90 -> do it in low world maps so subs can get MVP
doesn't take too many battles
my subs all got to 100 without even trying I just used them 
exactly and u only need 1 sub fleet
once ur done u never have to go back, until we get more content requiring subs 
took me like 4 days to get a sub to 100 affinity, and cost me around 30-50k oil
also its a pain in the ass since you have to keep moving them to call them in
takes someone like 1 day to get other ships to 100 affinity and its completely afk
opsi would be good for sub affinity for sure, or change how subs work outside of opsi to the way they do work in opsi
Would help if they fixed the dorm to actually give affection again
I saw that we're getting another UR gacha this year after this one. I am worried that this pace is unmaintainable, especially with once devs actually start rerunning UR events. Cubes for boomers are fine, new players have to get super lucky or whale. Coins for everyone is a problem. Hopefully the devs know what theyre doing and either add new ways to get coins like the dailies they announced, or will slow the pace down or something. I miss the slower, more relaxed pace of the game with mini events and where not every ship had to rework the meta. We're almost what, 1.5 to 2 years behind on reruns? thats not good imo. I'm worried about the future of this game due to this pacing
Where was it said that there's going to be another UR event?
JP in game announcement
That's nuts. Definitely can't recover what with other events coming in and possibly eat cubes like no tomorrow as well.
nice, that's really nice
more UR gacha 💳
cubes are OK. Gold is... pain.
Yea, even as a boomer, Im not sure how I feel about another UR event banner this year, even if it is shinano rerun like some speculate. Its kinda way too rushed imo, and for most players that aren't boomers with like, almost 4 digit cube counts, not only will they be unable to recover cubes quickly enough, they wont even be able to get enough UR bulins to mlb them for a long time even if they did get them by some stroke of luck.
yeah I forgot about UR bulins and the monthly cap. We are literally time gated
If its Shitano rerun, it just feels even crappier cause others like Overture havent reran in over a year
With one of its ships getting a retro in the meantime
i doubt its Shinano rerun that would be way too soon
it does but it's random
giving that next banner is most probably going to be a new UR ship
prepare for next year cuz the spam will be real
It hasnt for months, the bubbles appear but give nothing
5 建造で入手するUレア艦船は今年(2021)年内にあと1隻登場する予定です。
Translates: There will be one more UR rarity ship available for construction before the end of this year (2021).
0.1-0.3
2 of the most characters oathed from the past year are UR
^
and those 2 are in top 10 of most skins sold
One good thing to note though is that we are getting a UR bulin in the event point ladder, and possibly 1 free as well for not having had one in the NJ event https://t.bilibili.com/570302744161157264?tab=2
i predicted it would be only a matter of time until they join the ultimate rarity train of other gachas
and yea, its supposed to give that much, but it hasnt been working 
theres been people who dorm ships to 120 and still never go above 50 aff despite clicking on those
and i guess i wans't wrong
Then leave a ship there and dont let her get affection from anywhere else, tell me how much its grown after a month 
What Nerezza said
and i don't mean that for sure
well bubbles are random right? Maybe they clicked 9 times for 0.1 each time. Getting 1 affection bubble is like one every 1-3 days or something for me so it's possible that happens
Multiple ppl leaving ships there for a lot of time and they all got 0.1 nine times in a row, damned be the luck of them 
unless 0.1 is normal and getting 0.2 or 0.3 is exceedingly rare 
It's borderline useless either way
I mean I haven’t seen anyone show proof that it works, but the next time I form a ship to 120 or something I’ll go and take note of exactly how many times they get hearts
but I’ve had multiple people have the same issue so it can be reasonable to assume it doesn’t actually work
So i will take my guess here, every major event or most of them from now on are getting a UR ship in gacha or as retrofit or this season pass thingie that we don't know what they will do with it yet.

anyway most of these are worries/suggestions rather than actual feedback because I don't think feedback is possible on content that doesn't exist yet ^^
it can be quite possible
is it possible? Yes
is it likely? Probably not
Has it happened yet? No
just look at the last new major events that are for major factions
most of them are reruns that everyone seems to be rioting for
I guess the Dev realize people will whale for UR ships and that's why they are churning UR ships quickly now 
it is true the last one was a UR but that was for CN anniversary
this UR is for JP anniversary
I don't see an issue
and the next one?
who knows, hasn't happened yet so how is it possible to feedback on it
they don't take feedback on scheduling anyway
to say they look here at times from times
How is it not possible to give feedback before smth happens? Isnt that like number 1 rule to avoid disasters
you are taking that way too relatively
idk about u but a suggestion =/= feedback
feedback is a reaction to something
a suggestion is an idea for consideration
And this is a reaction to an announcement
but the announcement doesnt say this
it only says what the next event is, not that every major faction event is like this
i think that only applies as to asking for new content
this is a speculation
Mostly we are getting a UR for our Anniversary or something here I take it. Not sure how to explain it other than we got one during the JP Anniversary of sorts
^
Just hope that its referring to Shima and not a 3rd one
EN anniversary is inbetween CN and JP. However CN and JP are older than EN right? People would riot if there were 3 URs in such a short timespan so they've released 2
It's not referring to shima
And whats happening now is?
a UR for JP anniversary no?
yeah i think that unless the 3rd is in like dec its too soon 

they need to be split up more evenly
if the 3rd one is like, last week of December I think it'll be fine
getting 300k takes way too long, we need those new higher level dailies to give more gold
an event is 2 weeks long right? If u have 60k coins at the start for 40 builds, u can easily get 160k gold within those 2 weeks to reach 200 builds as long as u have the cubes
idk about u but i manage to get enough gold without whaling for a 1-1.5 10 builds a day
probably why it's 200 builds because that's achievable for 99% of players who arent new to the game
I go all out and do like 4 10 pulls first day of event because haha big numbers 
if you just want to chat - there's #al-general
this channel is for feedback
The problem is that while you save up for that 300k you basically put halt to every other system: LB, PR, gear upgrades and awakening (another huge annoyance - 0 exp from dorm / exercise if you don't pay up). It's a pretty tight squeeze with the current daily gold to begin with so hopefully the new dailies help a ton because right now it's just unbearable. Doing some head maf puts you somewhere around the 300k gains - assuming weekly/daily gold from missions + one 1200 oil comm a day and such.
I second this. There is also the issue of time gates ur bulins
I did the math, you don't need to coin cap in order to get enough for 400 builds. If u have around 60k coins before the event starts u will be able to reach 200 builds for the guarantee by the end of the event
u can just use different ships to level up in the dorm right?
I wish they have a new royal Navy Event
I think I roll over 5k coins in the major commission once in a blue moon. Your math pretty much proves my point, though. You're basically prohibited from doing anything that costs gold until you have secured the UR because it's just so limited compared to how much you need with gear costing thousands, LBing SR 14k total per, awakening can cost A LOT depending on the ship, not to mention PR. So with that 1 major commission in mind, and savings of something like 60k, you'd pretty much be out of cash just from the rolls + LBing event ships for 2 weeks. It's bizarre that it has taken this long to do even think about doing something about this.
You can use different ships in dorm and exercise sure, but maybe I actually want to raise good ships so I can actually some day tackle the highest level content. It's just arbitrary that they cost gold (especially since dorm does eat resources if you want to keep decent exp rolling) to keep going in those activities. PvP is a complete mess to begin with so the least I'd want is to get some exp out of it.
getting around 5k is normal since the 10 hr commissions range from 4.5-6k mostly
also u have to be really unlucky to hit the pity at 200
also u can LB event ships after the event has finished
that's why they give u an extra week to get the frame
and u can use the pre event ships with xp bonus to get pts towards that goal
and dorm u can just use food, idk i have never run out of food for dorm, though at the same time i never use any of the gem foods either and i never buy them as well
yes putting progression things on hold for an event is fustrating, i totally get you
but im pretty sure it's normal because u get better stuff during an event than during downtime between events no?
also you prepare inbetween events so u dont have to do those things during events
I understand as a newer player u will struggle
but that's just normal in any game, a new player will struggle to catch up to everyone else
if there's too many catchup mechanics, what is the challenge?
I don't think I've ever rolled 6k. I was like "wow, 5.2k!" at one point and that's the odd one out. I was that unlucky last time and could be this time as well, it's basically a must to be prepared for the worst.
The frame wasn't the point really, it was just to showcase how tiny amount of extra you have for the duration of two weeks if you need the 200 rolls. There's honestly no doubts about gold being a bottleneck right now.
Yes, food is resources I was talking about. That's why it's weird it somehow doesn't contribute to max'd XP. Especially since OpSi grants exp despite not requiring oil.
The ship(girl) for catching up in AL has sailed a long time ago tho.
I don't really know how more grind attributes to challenge and how catch-up makes the game "easier", though.
gacha games are always about the grind 
idk about u but autosearch was honestly one of the best things they ever added
i highly doubt u are consistently rolling under 5k if u are at the level for 10 hr commissions
I'd suggest to remove rate up for event archives, especially with that 2 URs that only have around 2-3 months space in between, so there won't be less people that complaint about ran out of cubes bc of archive rate up and archive can be put in more flexible way, anytime.
I am. I mean the 250-500 oil comm also says that, but I can count with one hand how many times I've rolled 400+ out of like 100+ comms of it. Meanwhile it consistently does roll the low roll of 250-280 or so. The range is just that busted.
The lower end definitely is more probable with those ones
yep which is why I went with 5k and not 6k in my calculations
also if I do seem a bit annoying by countering all your points and suggestions, I am playing devil's advocate as well with counter arguments so you can improve your suggestions 😉
The low roll tendency is pretty much everywhere in this game, including PR when the rolls in 3k tend to be very often just +1 :/
or how 5k one rolls 2
even if I change it to 4.5k the minimum, it doesn't really affect anything
it's a difference of only 7k coins for 1 and 14k for 2 10 hr commissions
But the very thing I said still holds true tho, and that's all I was really going for. You're basically scraping by if you hit the unlucky numbers like me
Couple of things:
- You're missing coins from sorties
- This is feedback not suggestions
- That's still not many coins left over for actual game progression including pr
- Harder dailies and more QOL updates are coming. Wait and see before deciding anything
Isn't gold being an extreme bottleneck feedback 🤔
Idk about you but those gold numbers look like I have whopping 20k+ leftover for 2 weeks -if- I hit the unlucky numbers
You can still generate gold after events no?
But yes, like you said, new daily challenges are coming and depending on how much better they are, they will help alleviate it at least somewhat. It's still taking an ungodly amount of time since this was a problem back when Shinano came out.
the calculations were quick and meant to be a minimum anyway
Yes, but that gold won't help with rolls for the event (or the progression during those two weeks)
earlier on in the game's lifespan there were not enough gold sinks so manjuu added more after feedback
Tbh I think gold being a bottleneck is better than having infinite amounts of it tho and it's not like you can't progress at all either, so if anything it'd have to be very fine adjustments
Anyways, relying on pity is if only extremely unlucky.
there's only a 0.1% chance of having to reach 200 pity to get the UR drop at 1.2%
Well, like I said, that was me last time and so was my friend - well, off by a handful of rolls.
It's 8.9% I calced
and me and my friend got mine on the first 2 10 rolls
maybe i did my math wrong then but I did 0.988^199 * 0.012
We should not be taking anecdotal feedback
I stand by what I first posted
same
.988^200 x100
Yeah the *0.012 doesn't make sense
Tho ^200 doesn't either
oh i forgot the pity system works as pull 200 then u collect one. My bad
Unless you can mathematically prove me 20x0.1<1 it's broken.
HAHAHA
so one of them should be deleted because of duplicates?
delete the newer one ig?
And collectively rejected. Yet people still keep asking them to do this 
ikr 
thx for bringing that up, i need to downvote it 
There's tons of dupes in feedback
Also its quite funny to see this mathbattle over pity when there's like 5% chance you even reach that. Why in UR discussions does everyone automatically go 200 is the MINIMUM, not the MAXIMUM, and that 1.2% doesn't exist?
I feel the same Hassat
Not much a safety net if the game apparently needs to be balanced to fit getting it 100% guaranteed.
is there already a suggestion about the pity being able to choose not only the UR but also all the ship in rate up so if i missed an elite, i can take that elite?
Ye their net is gold plated 
2 times ur happened those 200 draws were indeed minimum 😅 we'll see how it goes now, anecdotal, doesn't really count as valid feedback I know
It's more about the fact that you should be prepared for the worst, even if it didn't come to that. Mostly because URs are just op as hell and you don't want to miss them, especially since they seem to be banking on the DD buffs now with two URs immediately.
Honestly, even SR could have pity rolls at like 100 (or trading several dupes for the other) because getting like 7 dupes of one event roll SR with 0 of the other is just terrible. But maybe that's fighting against the nature of the Beast.
Missing an SR in general is terrible because "just wait for rerun" assumes you will even be around in two years when the event gets the rerun chance. Likewise for the abysmal archive additions
not all games have pity systems though I have been on the receiving end of bad RNG plenty of times
but because it happened to me, I'd feel more strongly than someone with average luck/good luck
also u dont need these OP ships to clear all the content either
its not our fault if they are pushing OP ships
people most of the time want it for collection
i remember when I had to do 400 builds for pola during the italian rerun. Got 13 zaras who I already got from the original event
(less than 0.2% chance of happening)
There are lucky and unlucky times with gacha
Maybe pity system should be the standard and not the exception then. We'll see how this ends up with cracking down on lootboxes and whatnot, which will eventually come to affect gachas as well.
Accept the nature of the beast
well 7% for SSRs is one of the most generous rates in the gacha industry
and 1.2% for URs is also pretty decent considering the power of them
As generous as they may be, they're not safety nets 
But like I said, we'll see how later on the cracking down will affect gacha or if everyone will just bail from the western markets.
latter is probably more likely
western markets are seen as less unfortunately
i think we should some get plans for slight changes to base ship lines if we have completed her story to actually fit what happened there
as some ships kinda undergo change in it
it would kinda make that story....make sense?
Yeah I agree that'd be awesome
I agree with that as well, but I also wish more ships had some changes to their lines if you marry them, too. Or at least reach Affection 100. You got ships like Spence who flip flop between "I love you Commander please protect me" and "Don't come near me!"
Reading back through this, it's very difficult to believe that needing to reach 200 pulls is "mathematically low" when I see so many people talk about having had to do it, including multiple guilds talking about how they need to be ready to make that sacrifice. I know anecdotal evidence is considered taboo for some reason, but I personally had to pull 200 times to get Shinano from Pity (I hate that name) and then got two New Jersey's within the span of 30 pulls next time.
When you get enough people who have wildly different or odd experiences like that, it's no wonder people start speculating on how truthful the odds or math supposedly are. What I'm saying is that whenever people tout or point out how high the odds are, many folks will scoff because personal experience tells us those numbers mean nothing. Safety nets really should be a standard. If the numbers are exactly what the system claims, then these will at least help those that fall into the gutter.
Well, you also got like 10 people here talking about abolishing the rate up for archives but put to a vote its 7 for, 60+ against. Yet I think barely any of them post here. So a certain screwed perspective is expected.
And since everyone posts their anectdotes lemme add: 100 builds for Shinano (really Chiyoda. 8 Chitose, 6 Kashino and 3 Shinano at that point) and 20 builds for the whole NJ banner.
I keep forgetting to put ships into the lecture hall after sunday. Either give it a red exclamation mark notification like for research etc, or let us keep using the lecture hall on sunday as well, how about no hull restrictions on sunday?
exactly the reason
when a ship has completely bipolar lines in the same situation it kinda feels wrong on top of something that happened in the story
I do believe voice lines / oath lines are being added consistently to older ships as not all of them have oath lines on release.
however it is probably a lot of work because most people complain if the lines aren't voiced and getting a hold of the voice actor can be difficult at times. They probably don't want to call them in just for a few oath lines and would rather get them to do a whole set of voice lines for a new skin + oath lines for the base skin
Sort ships in dock by fleets when
Unfortunately for ships like Hipper, who have never received another outfit, this will likely never happen.
Seems like buff of DD is shit
Useless buff of torpedo spread
Not everywhere useful buff of AoA
And only one really good buff with aux slot efficiency
And we cannot choose this
That means strong DDs will be stronger and weak DDs will be still weak
so same as usual
ok
Whoa there sir
We do not know what the effects are and what ships are affected
Wait till maint then copy paste again
If we don't choose it, that means I will get buff of torpedo spread on my DDs while I playing with parallel torps which practically have no spread
torps are getting changed yk
And there's 150+ DDs. Do you think they will give a good buff to every single DD? No, they will give good buff for some popular DDs and for weak DDs they will give nothing
So until we see this in practice, no point spamming this channel
But I already can see that the "buff of DD class" is "buff of special DD"
Wait until we get this shit instead of buff which will not be changed?
Giving melee weapons only to DDs would be better buff than this
Sir
You need to not assume things
do you see what are the buffs ingame right now?
I see official announcement of that buffs
This is enough to understand how bad they are
is it?
ppl though the aircraft carrier detection line was not gonna do much to cvs
But that allowed them to do relatively more damage than battleships while before they couldn't
The problem is, that buff of CVs was same to all CVs. For DDs it's different. You get 1 of 3 buffs, 1/3 useless, 2/3 maybe, and you cannot choose which of 3 will be on your DD
This would be chosen of Yostar
And I'm sure they will not choose good buffs for Z21
And the problem with your argument is that all dds should get the same buffs
which means that stronger dds will still have the same or even more of a power gap as compared to weaker ones
You cannot assume that Yostar will not choose good buffs for Z21
Do you have insider information?
Buff of CVs was making strong stronger and weak same?
It made weak viable and strong stronger
We have 154 DDs in the game. Do you really think they will add a good buff to every DDs? No, I'm 99.9% sure they will add good buffs for popular and strong DDs and weak or unpopular will get maybe good, maybe bad buffs
assuming once again
Just giving choice for players will solve both problems.
choice is just picking the meta option over and over again no?
So the other changes shouldn't matter?
Choice will allow me to avoid useless buff with torpedoes and maybe useful buff with AoA
So it's still better if they want let this system
How do you know its useless?
It encourages use of other dds than your favorite dds over and over again
Spread of torpedoes will be lower. Spread of parallel torps is 8% → buff is useless
You do know torps are being changed right?
I did not know the torpedos were being changed, since I didn't see any of the streams. Will this be explained in-game for those who don't follow the official channels?
It should be in the patch notes
And there should be a video/screengrabs going up for that
I see, thank you.
If they don't give pattern as parallel torps to every Torp in the game obviously it will be not really good change
the torps will most likely look like the ryuuseis and Ju-87 D-4s torps
🚮
But that is my assumption so it may be different 
But i dont disagree with your sentiment, just that we should not overreact without actually using it first
I can understand why they giving that shit buffs. Because of UR DD. Ok. But give me the possibility to choose what of 3 buffs I want to see on my Z21. Or just give all 3 to every DDs
What if my Nimi will get buff with torpedoes? What should I do?
What if my Ayanamy will get AoA buff?
I don't think it's super productive to discuss speculative/pre-emptive feedback. Can we maybe stick to feedback on what's in the game currently and build off of that?
^
That is why i suggested you to wait till it actually comes out then copy paste it here
^
If I write it now, the system can be changed more than when it is realised
While true, let them implement what they have, then we can proffer them feedback on improvement, or our likes/dislikes with the current state of affairs.
^ 
It's coming out next day or so, there's no way for any changes to upcoming update, good or bad
But where's gear lab stuff
yeah I said something similar yesterday, even if people voice concerns now, it's too late to change anything so just wait for it to come out, experience the new systems and then feedback on it 
Id like for auto mode in OpSi to be able to give me enemies from factories, and smash the scanners
basically, a setting for automode to choose one option or the other as the player chooses, and to have auto interact with them
Include allowing us to set cat-pads last and ascended pawns first, while they're at it. And my goodness do they need to change how auto-search handles chests in hidden zones. There's no reason for my girls to run all the way across the map for one chest and then go back to collect the 5 they passed up earlier.
do this to submit the idea then^
All of this. Even allow cats off (as I suggested back in january since I dont want my mobfleet to do cats). The issue with chests is, for some reason, the final lootboxes with the exit have lower priority. Also they block pathing unlike regular boxes, again no idea why. So auto ignores them all the way till the end, even if they may be right besides the fleet and the other box on the other side of the map.
They also really need to get over their obsession to screw up pathfinding, like the exit node or the AoE of non-passage that exists at Akashi for some reason.
IJN has literally zero CL gunboats. And close to zero CLs in general (at least, the good ones). Yet, you're releasing another pack of DDs and CVs. And just one purple (and useless, I assume) CL.
unfortunately they dont take ship suggestions 
I know. I'm not asking for a specific ship. I just want them to open their eyes.
i mean idk any ijn cl gunboats lmao so i cant help you 
Mogami
isnt she already in the game?
Is mogami T0?
Yeah and thus IJn doesnt have "literally zero CL gunboats", sure they dont have a lot but they're convered on ther other parts
what?
If you count only the best as useful then thats on you
x2 what?
not having T0 doesnt mean literally not there
not T0 = doesn't exist

we have more than enough non-metas. Time to add some meta.
we don't take suggestions for new ships and you may continue discussion about meta and non-meta in #al-general
Sorry 
Went to the dorm now and remembered the affection thing from yesterday
Did they give affection when maxed out before, dont remember correctly? If not then its broken either way cause U47 got a love bubble when she's at 100
Pretty sure it always still gived them even at affection 100 (and it's broken anyway so...)
Rebalance the rarity system, this new upcoming event has no rares and its been forever since a common was added. Game is too hyperinflated of SRs. Game is too dependent on SRs from build pool to reach goals in general.
specially carriers and subs
that's just how most gacha games I played go, minimum rarity units are pretty much only the ones from release or maybe from one random update within the game's multiple year history
I thought of a really good way to fix part of the problem with saving coins before an event.
Make it so Research takes coins from your canteen first. That way when you overcap, you can still make use of canteen coins.
interesting, that would be great.
😮 amazing, send through bot!
"that would be too op" 😉
That would be a great QoL update
Can EN please get better detailed patch notes? "Topedo attacks in auto-combat has now been optimized", what does this even mean? If I read the JP patch notes I get a detailed explanation of whats changed while EN doesn't say anything.
Can this please change?
There ARE not any common or rare subs in the first place. And Casablanca was a great rare carrier, before Independence stole her skill.
Thats why I was agreeing to add more, special pool is mostly heavies for the common/rares and I hate it
Sick of getting the same crap I get every event on a pool they dont belong to begin with
The good solution could be retrofits for all common/rare or double retrofits if there's any. But I guess Yostar won't do something on this way and common/rare ships will stay just good ships, with some exceptions are really good or op
Except all the common carriers have it already and the only rare one that doesnt is Casablanca and for the subs... is there even any? Honestly cant recall
Than double retrofit
But I guess we cannot suggest this here
Therefore we just should play with todays common and rare. Fortunately they are mostly good and useful
Even with that, the problem is not having many common and rares, retro makes one better not bring different ones
They can add some new as only drop for w14 🤔
Still have time to fix Katsuragi before it's "too late". By that, I mean when the event goes live. A fan fixed Katsuragi. I hope Yostar and Manjuu can have proper quality control next time.
That looks too low 
🤷♂️
better than the original that's for sure
I really like katsus design, i think it’s pretty cute but the mouth just makes her face look deformed. It seems like the artist tried to make her be cute but just kind of failed 
I think the destroyer buff should be a choice made by the player instead of being predefined, that would give more freedom and it would be much better at least imo.
^ Still applies since we learned nothing new.
i think the patch notes make it very clear
"will be granted depending on the character"
for example if its a torpedo DD the torpedo buff will be given for it
so basically theres no choice on it
and that will be a problem on DDs that are somewhat decent in every aspect
It's probably going to be gunboats/dds that depend on barrage will get the AOA buff, torp dds will get the torp buff, and hybrid dds will get the aux gear buff
or maybe the aux gear buff will be given to DDs who are specialized in Evasion
guess tomorrow will be our answer
Will be interesting to see if this makes ANY DDs meta. The biggest problem is their survivability. Even with high evasion the HP pool is just too tiny. Double stacking hp aux barely works on the strong DDs.
Excluding yukikaze of course
So the oxy torps aux equipment will be useful again is what I see there
If the additional base stats are not limited to the equipment and it just raises the bar across the board that would be really cool
Please let us buy skillbooks using Exercise Merits 🙏
Please gaave Sheffield an oath skin
I wish, she and many others deserve one. Sadly, we're not allowed to request them for reasons.
People I accidentally bought something with gems, is there a manju Support?
Thanks
CS cannot help with that issue
suggestion for skins aren't accepted as u can see from the nimi bot ^
i see
so from what i've seen it just confirmed that several DDs got buffs that were out of their specialization
for example Z2 getting a torp buff when shes a barrage boat
so this is where this comes into
i will be making a feedback through Belfast pretty soon
Funny how they make her an AP boat then give her the torp buff, did they forget whats her gimmick 
Perhaps they're trying to make her a more rounded character, which I personally like the idea of but we all know the old "jack-of-all-trades, master of none" adage, right?
just a correction
Its seems that only Z1 and Z2 got a buff that differs too much on what they are focused on, Z1 not so much cuz her torps stats are better and shes already good on what she does, Z2 in the other hand its just sad honestly, so yeah i was very ignorant when i said that.
so i decided that i will send 2 feedbacks to Belfast when the update goes live
Many people in Azur Lane VN's community don't know why the game isn't in google play store anymore. And questioning about the upcoming update, can we still update the game normally?
You can always do client updates via apks/qooapp.
With these buffs to destroyers, can we please either 1, speed up this text box so I don't have to wait an eternity to see what changes on max LB or 2, change how this information is displayed?
can we have quick finishers not make ships popup when i hit skip if i already got them? just takes long to build with a hundred elites popping up all the time
can yall remove the requirement to input text when using a UR bulin for limit break 
Agreed
Washy Skin when as the Only Server Ship without one
^they dont accept suggestions for skins
Gotta say that the game's OST is great but Soryu's META fight theme is freaking amazing, one of the few songs I turn on the sound to listen to it 
I was pretty surprised when they changed it for her. As much as I love the Siren song or whatever it's called, it was nice to have a new and energetic track for the META fight.
Well wasn't that her boss music during the event she was in when we got NJ though?
Nope
I mean that is a setting already

options -> other settings -> identical ships, turn it to off
Oh it only skips for rare / common
, not elite ships
yeah i wish it was for elites and golds
It's very strange that after all this time they still haven't enabled it for at least Elites.
Also, wanted to say how nice the music for this event has been so far. The island backdrop is beautiful and the music there is quite soothing, plus we have the lovely Crosswave music in stage maps. The boss music was also very enjoyable.
I'm going to be honest, I'm pretty upset about the fact that seemingly out of nowhere, Global is missing loading screens. This happened a while back with the Yamashiro/I-19 screen, but that one seemed to make sense as it did say 4th Anniversary on it; with Global having it's 3rd Anniversary coming up it made some sense to omit the image as it could lead to confusion. But this event Global is missing two loading screens, forgive me if I have the characters wrong, but I believe the two feature New Jersey and Monarch Trento and Zara in a pool, and the other is Marco Polo and Aegir. This time there is nothing that I can see that should bar them from being on Global.
How about having a feature that allows you to retire every non-locked common/rare ships? I am so tired of having to retire 10 at a time
Censor confirmed going to en server, then ? This already happened 2nd time. That time before isn't really reasonable either since it's not only CN that have those loading screen, but also JP. So I don't see 4th anni "excuse" is make sense
Please not censor anything. is it really that hard to put same loading screen in all servers ?

Why are y'all jumping to conclusions that it's "censorship"
It's more than likely just a bug
I'm sorry, but I don't believe that. Take a look at the artwork that they featured for our 3rd Anniversary and compare it to the artwork that JP got for this Anniversary.
you dont have to
but you're not the one tossing around the forbidden word here
so you get a pass
It may not be, but omitting things that do not need to be omitted is, frankly, just as bad. Seeing this happen is just as saddening to me, and the result of this kind of thing has a very similar effect.
I always hear this thing with the slippery slope peril and nothing ever becomes of it because it's not actually a thing
Everything will be fine
I'm a little confused as to how you can say that when we're already seeing it in effect. Mirror Involution saw a loading screen not make it to Global. Now this event comes and we have two not on our client, this time without the 4th Anniversary text to give a reason to not include it. That's literally how a slippery slope works.
Yeah. If it's really not going to be "that" case, prove it with put all those loading screen that hasn't come yet already or it's going to be snowball effect
You guys act like they didn't screw up loading screens TONS since their dual screen in one file change. It's not censorship, just another in a long line of making the same mistake over and over :/
Could we get icons on DD's Character Info pages noting which type of MLB effect they have? So that it's a quick check instead of having to go into the Limit Break tab and waiting for text to scroll?
I'm not sure what you're referring to. Do you have a link or anything that explains?
As someone who has been waiting a long time for them to let us choose our loading screens, precisely so I can ditch the naughtier ones, I’m personally absolutely okay with some loading screens not finding their way here.
Personally, same
You do know its replaced by the one screen most complains came about?
And whats there to explain? They screwed this up so much, its nothing new at this point. Atleast hopefully it doesn't take them 2 weeks this time, like during december 2020.
I would 100% be on board with the ability to choose, as simply removing them altogether means the many of us who do like the fan service don't have any choice, we just have something we like taken away.
I'm asking for an explanation because I straight don't understand what you're trying to say as the grammar is wonky or...something. What do you mean by "dual screen in one file change."? Was this some kind of change or something? I stopped playing the game for a little under a year so there's a chunk of time where I know little about.
They changed bgs from 1 screen per file to 2 (the cn/jp and the en bg) and ever since then these screwups happen.
I see. So, what you're saying is that since there are two images to the single file, when it calls for a loading screen, the game is picking up the wrong one? I guess my next question would be why this is only effecting Global.
my guess is most likely because it is made for jp first and then they forget to copy the image into the en slot
I think Kitakaze should have torpedo spread buff. With AoA buff she becames broken now.
Also it makes sense to buff aux buff for 50% for every aux. This buff have gotten only weak DDs, so if you give more aux buff for them, balance will not be broken, but they will be more playable
I'm not sure if this has been asked before but it would be nice to have a feature to buy gifts for friends. This would be a nice thing to have especially during the holidays or valentines where it's most convenient. It would also be really great for those types of guilds that like to reward their members for their hard work.
oh no, buff worked and character is stronger, working as intended, come on
yeah
would make no sense if she was given a torp buff
like what happended to Z2
whats up the the updates every 30 min's?
Bug fixes
I hope I’m not the only one to think this, but honestly, the bunny girl skins were hot at 1st but now it’s just repetitive. it’s been going on for 4 months 
I don't think I'll buy some either.
You're not alone
Great
For me the only bunny suit skin should have been NC cause thats her thing 
i like all the bunny skins
and totally fine with more of them
well if they are bringing more and more bunny skins it means people are buying it so
bunny skins are the new swimsuit skins.
Im pretty sure the bunny girl skins are one way the devs are getting around censorship issues theyre facing in china, since it covers more up than swimsuits
Surprised they havent banned the game with all the recent changes
that was actually a suggestion made after Honkai Impact removed their bunny suit event
i doubt its anything related to censorship
Guys, if you're not going to add some facial expressions to your default L2D skins, you'd better stop making L2D then. I don't want to see the silent mouth, when she's speaking, and I especially don't want to see the indifferent face, during the special touch 
There is no special touch on dynamic 
dynamic doesnt have any of the special lines
