The oil cap is one of the best things they could've done for the game. I'm enjoying grinding again. It was agonizing leveling only one or two ships, cause I had to stick them in super oil efficient teams. Now I can level more of my 500-something ships at a time.

[hearty crane]

cough Operation Siren

[copper bolt]

ig + the usage of oil then too 😉

[worn mirage]

Has anyone been having this occur?
Last couple of times I did the blue G-415 PR-IV researches all I get are equipment blueprints, aren't you supposed to get at least one guaranteed ship blueprint?

[somber cairn]

G doesnt guarantee ship bps afaik. only D and H do

[worn mirage]

if that's the case that sucks
that, and I've had damn good luck, been playing over a year and this is the first time this has happened

[somber cairn]

ive had multiple 1.5hr Gs with no ship bp

maybe the longer ones guarantee it im not sure, 1.5 definitely not

[velvet adder]

maybe with UR's being pumped out it's time to make research a little less rng heavy

I think that one ship should be able to be focused on (kinda like the mini events we get now for catch up bps) to give the guaranteed bp for the ship you choose

[somber cairn]

[cursive horizon]

Been asking to be able to just focus on a ship for a long time. Would appreciate that if they made it possible.

[rich meadow]

so, is manjuu ever gonna fix the whole "Ulrich von hutten losing 95% of her damage when off flag and out of ammo" thing or is that just intended. the fix is simple in concept, make the 50% out of ammo damage debuff be calculated based on the ACTUAL damage of the ship, after the 45% damage nerf from the skill happens so she only loses 50% of her REMAINING damage vs losing another 50% of her total damage adding up to 95% damage lost
cause as it is now, she wouldn't suddenly become overpowered if they changed this, she'd just make more sense
i'm surprised more people aren't complaining more about this, it seems like a pretty big issue
given she is otherwise very very good in the mob fleet off-flag role, but when used like that in high level content where it takes more than 5 battles to spawn the boss, she suddenly loses all of her shelling damage at battle six and onwards, just when she'd need it most

[somber cairn]

it's how the dmg calculator has worked since launch, i dont think theyll change it now. prolly the devs intended this

[rich meadow]

if so then it's really, really, really dumb

it goes against the point of her kit

she's supposed to be an off flag bb for a mob fleet

[somber cairn]

i mean she works fine flag or not, boss or mob,

she's very flexible, only downside is she cant off flag on 0 ammo

[rich meadow]

which is something literally every other BB in the game can do.....

what does the game gain from having it work this way

hopefully once more people get her, more people will complain about it and manjuu will either fix it or tell us why they won't

[cursive horizon]

Sounds to me like she's more useful as an Operation Siren ship, which doesn't use ammo to begin with.

[rich meadow]

you don't need a mobbing UR in opsi, mobbing in OpSi is extremely easy, the only place in opsi where someone as powerful as UvH would be necessary is a bossfight, which is something UvH is not designed for

[somber cairn]

uvh is plenty good in boss wdym

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for 36 ships plox

[copper bolt]

sounds like she works well in campaign maps with ammo nodes like W14-4. The proximity barrage also helps with suicide ships

[rich meadow]

but she is BETTER at mob with her consistent damage profile and buffs to HE

[velvet adder]

make auto search pick up the ammo node. two bird one stone

[stone valley]

icrease c-d map levels

[fluid grotto]

lol it's the exact opposite, no oil cap makes you build team to get around requirement while keeping oil efficiency.
3:3 brainded is just put wtv ships you lvl lmao
and yeah oil cap kinda kill the game just how uninteresting it is now, game just a chore now just not a slight thinking required

[velvet adder]

oh no now we can use any ships instead of just building one fleet for 5 mins and doing the same

[fluid grotto]

maybe revert back oil cap and keep the clear reward

[velvet adder]

that be the best of both worlds. if you want to grind more with 3:3 then swipe, they gotta make money some how

pay to play is okay 👌 p2w buying cogs 👎

im glad theres oil cap, means runs dont take like 8 minutes each

cos im forced to use a budget team

now you can use a budget team and use a budget 3:3 fast clear team :D best of both worlds

[fluid grotto]

nah, i like to do some fleet building better

[fluid grotto]

yeah AL needs more income

[digital tree]

u do realize oil cap is only applied on clearing mode right? Fleetbuilding while keeping oil costs low is still a valid thing for anyone who hasn't gotten to those stages. The intentions of oil cap were to make grinding more accessible, it has nothing to do with making fleetbuilding easier

[fluid grotto]

as matter of fact i do realize that
clearing map just like 5 clear top anyway no one gonna build for that.
better than losing interest of the game cus it's brainded fest now.

[hearty crane]

"pay to play is okay 👌 p2w buying cogs 👎"
This makes no sense.

[fleet salmon]

Once you make a fleet that's optimized for low cost, it gets dull too. There's no way to make a game like AL not get boring for everyone sooner or later.

Might as well let people use what they want instead of 5-10 characters that are good for cheap farming.

[fluid grotto]

eh, you swap around after theyre maxed,
now it's dull from the get go

[velvet adder]

yep lvl 100 3:3 clears 12-4 ez so they just stay 100 forever after hitting 3mil exp... lvl 1 skills too surely this was the intention. game is just a png slot machine then you get to listen them moan a bit before throwing out cause no cog chips to use for fun like CM, OS, w14 etc

[fleet salmon]

Bringing oil-cap-less-farming back wouldn't help you with that

[digital tree]

'game is just png slot machine'
why are we throwing shade at the game being a literal gacha now

[fluid grotto]

yep, just casually 120 some purple dd without lvling her skill once because that apparently not necessary now

[hearty crane]

How is that related to oilcap or xp reduction though though?

[fluid grotto]

cus ship skill doesnt matter now, just throwin 6 ships anywhere

[fleet salmon]

They encouraged you to actually level up those purple DDs with oil cap instead of just sitting and doing nothing with your SRs and URs maxed

And low cost farming ships

[fluid grotto]

id still lvl them even without the cap
they give fleet stat after all

[digital tree]

how did ship skills matter before oil cap, when skills are necessary for easing difficulty
oil cap doesn't decrease difficulty

[fluid grotto]

exactly, now it's just a brainded afk simulator where difficulty doesnt matter and im losing interest to the game

[digital tree]

so ur whole point is the game is too easy, which oil cap doesn't affect, so u're losing interest in the game anyway

[fluid grotto]

in a way yeah, oil cap decrease difficulty cus you can do 3:3 without any catch

[fleet salmon]

Somehow it'd be less boring if you had to slow down with farming xp on all those DDs you want for fleet tech due to no oil.
Great feedback as always

[fluid grotto]

if you properly read my first comment that exactly what it said, yep

nah i got oil

it's just boring

[digital tree]

so u were dancing around oil cap being the issue when it actually wasn't, it's just the game as a whole

[ornate basin]

[fluid grotto]

what, you're feedback gating me?
im free to give my own

[ornate basin]

summarize it into a message please, this conversation doesnt need to be happening

[fluid grotto]

feedback alr summarized but just keeps getting comments, so

[ornate basin]

yeah, need a reminder to read all pins before leaving a message here, thank you

[hearty crane]

2-1 for 6h is the most stimulating gameplay after all. Yet somehow some people want to return to those days (old warshrug when, its january?)

[velvet adder]

2-1 was for gold though no one said take out clear rewards

[fluid grotto]

keep the clear reward, people dont read smh

[velvet adder]

always with the snide comments too green guy smh

[fleet salmon]

I'm just saying that removing oil cap won't make the game more exciting at all. No one is gating anybody

[hearty crane]

Kettle much?

[fluid grotto]

he's not wrong tho
i did say to keep clear reweard

[hearty crane]

Who said anything about it. I just reference how current is apparently boring but wow, old was SUCH riviting gameplay.

[odd tendon]

All i want is the ability to change the bgm at the port

[velvet adder]

all i wanted was some more cog chips without buying them and it somehow got to talkin bout oil cap

[fluid grotto]

also cog chip drop for lvl 100+ stage

[odd tendon]

Or maybe a free daily pack of 2000 oils

[velvet adder]

why you guys hate the idea of gettn more cog chip, before oil cap it was a meme resource so why it bother you to have too many and why you want me to not have enough

[hearty crane]

They have been adding them though. Ex, w12+, meta fights, weekly pack... and I probably forget more

[fluid grotto]

yeah lemme get those 500 chips to 120 like 0 ship

yep, working system

[velvet adder]

[fleet salmon]

Removing oil cap will not let you gain chips any faster

[odd tendon]

Why you want to remove oil cap tho?

[fluid grotto]

no one ever says removing oil cap will get you chip tho

its literally 2 diff feedback

[fleet salmon]

You keep saying "before oil cap" like that's what the problem is

[velvet adder]

will let me gain exp slower same effect since people here demand a a reason to just ask for more cog i say oil cap caused issues that likely werent intended and reverting it would make it so i dont burn though them as fast

[fleet salmon]

Then don't play as much, get some fresh air. Problem solved

[fluid grotto]

nice argument there

[velvet adder]

[digital tree]

u can always store the exp until 120 I think manjuu is already aware of the cog chip issue and slowly giving more ways to give it so it's a matter of time to see what they're going to come up with eventually

[fleet salmon]

What? His xp gain rate will go back to what it was before if he plays less

[fluid grotto]

when you have 40+ lvl 100 ships with enough exp to 120 its not fun anymore

[velvet adder]

lil mod no where to be seen for ad hominems interesting

[fleet salmon]

Apparently that would solve his problem

[hearty crane]

He can also just buy the event cogchips packs. But no, he needs f2p, OTHERS need to pay for oil.

[velvet adder]

i do buy it though and told you before even with a screenshot of being 5/15 in akashi shop

[fluid grotto]

yeah if your solution is "get a life" i dont think that even an argument.

[velvet adder]

but if p2w resources are the solution then quitting this game

[hearty crane]

Literally not what I talk about though... check the "packs" menu

[fleet salmon]

It's less "get a life" and more "just slow down and use your spare time to do something else"

[gray patrol]

why play this game at all if that is your argument

[velvet adder]

how much yostar pay you green guy all you do is counter others feedback like you on some schedule must be a sweet gig

[digital tree]

manjuu has never been fast at implementing things from what I've seen like I said I think they're aware of the issue but it's likely gonna take them a while before a real cog solution will come up

[fluid grotto]

same thing, get a better argument

[hearty crane]

I mean, wasn't your sollution to make people pay for oil? Also its hardly p2w when you can just focus on other ships? As you say yourself a purple 120 DD is good enough...

[fleet salmon]

Then think of a better solution than devolving the game to its pre oilcap state

[velvet adder]

not my job

i just giving feedback what i want which is cog chip the staff can work out the kinks

[fleet salmon]

Nice argument from you guys as well

[fluid grotto]

not necessary a devolve since clear reward still there, just making the game less braindead

[velvet adder]

read pin i dont need to argue nor you allowed that gate keeping

[digital tree]

well archee's point was similar to how people would play any gacha that released on that day and then immediately complain on forums that the game has 'no content', when the game itself wasn't designed with their pace in mind. The same implication goes to cog chips

but as I also said for the 3rd time now, they're aware of the problem most likely anyway. Matter of time before they just say 'fuck it' and buff all cog rates for the hell of it

[hearty crane]

Gatekeeping isn't what you guys think it is. Stop throwing that around if someone simply disagrees.

[velvet adder]

new release compared to a random patch changing up the flow of the game not really the same tho

pace of game was great before oil cap

[hearty crane]

[velvet adder]

now theres not enough cog chips coming in to keep up with all the exp

[gray patrol]

it's like new players coming here to gatekeep more active players from getting rewarded as well

[digital tree]

I know the analogy was weak, I'm also part of the 'pls buff cog chips' side just wanted to clarify archee's point in a way that doesn't feel like it's attacking u guys

[gray patrol]

reminded me of someone disagreeing from getting cosmetics rewards from pvp

[fluid grotto]

active player gets rewarded? i despise that

[velvet adder]

why you here disagreeing all the time though that is gate keeping this just for feedback if you dont like it ignore it but just cant help urself need to feel big with your walls of text lol

[digital tree]

giving arguments against feedback isn't gate-keeping tho. If someone doesn't like a feedback because they think it's not a good one and will make the game worse, then they have the right to say what they want just like you do

maybe we just wait until CN complains about cogchips, then manjuu will hurry

[fluid grotto]

people are welcome to give construction argument, not straight up invalidated the idea

[fleet salmon]

Dude, Zeppy straight up said that he wants to gain xp more slowly so that cog chip gain can keep up with it, how would that help him progress any faster?
I have every right to say that this method of solving the cog chip problem is wrong.

[fluid grotto]

bro ur solution is "get a life"

[ornate basin]

enough

[fluid grotto]

that kind of stuff probably not allowed here

[ornate basin]

this is gatekeeping

[velvet adder]

When are we adding male ships to the game?

[copper bolt]

historically ships were named female

though if u can find examples of naval ships being named a male name that'd be cool

[sharp yarrow]

inb4 someone says bismarck

[fleet salmon]

I never told anyone to outright stop playing, only to play enough to get enough xp to 120 and let the cog chips catch up by themselves (dailies, event shop, vs meta rewards, commissions) for the time being.
Removing the oil cap would only make it so that he has to spend more oil doing the same exact things and not actually progress more.
You guys are blowing what I said earlier way out of proportion.

[fluid grotto]

just drop it dude, still the same as before

[hearty crane]

Doing a math of 200/25 made me Gameplay-feedback Hitler, you'll get used to it. Also, Bismarck.

[sharp yarrow]

nailed it

[fluid grotto]

lot named after dudes, think the ship itself considered female irl

[copper bolt]

fair enough. Yeah that was what I was trying to get at, they are mostly referred to as "she" so any ships that were referred to as "he" was what I was trying to get at. If Bismarck was referred to as "he" but is still considered female in AL, how would male ships be introduced into the game 🤔 would be cool but would need some sort of reason to justify it ig.

Unless it's like a potential alter version of every ship? 👀

could be funny as a April Fool's joke tho. Make every ship male for a day 🤣

[fluid grotto]

Another tradition is to consider ships as female, referring to them as 'she'. Although it may sound strange referring to an inanimate object as 'she', this tradition relates to the idea of a female figure such as a mother or goddess guiding and protecting a ship and crew.

[sharp yarrow]

iirc only hitler wanted to call bismarck a he but the crew just called her a she anyways

[velvet adder]

Astolfo ship pls

[gray patrol]

pretty funny but I can see the pain in commissioning every artist

[hearty crane]

Wasn't it the captain who designated Bismarch he, what I heard anyway. And yeah, too much art and vo for one day, fun as that idea is.

[copper bolt]

if it was a joke, I wouldn't mind if they just got everyone in the office to do a couple of ships in paint with awful artwork as replacements just for a day

would still be hilarious xD

[fluid grotto]

they alr did that with tm enty

[velvet adder]

[hearty crane]

Give them all the KR Howe/Albacore threatment?

[velvet adder]

Give us super idol Bismarck (male)

[fluid grotto]

more tm cosplay to promote the game pls

[velvet adder]

lol wow if you search tm enterprise in gif you get

https://tenor.com/view/azur-lane-azur-lane-official-azur-lane-official-gif-22558184

[timber grotto]

Give more cool frames plox

[odd tendon]

KING George V

[cursive horizon]

And they would still refer to the ship as a she.

[velvet adder]

yet they changed groom to commander

same as when bismarck was referred to as a male in german lore

[somber cairn]

lolno? it lets me use waifu instead of just using a meta 1:1...what are u talking about???

before oil cap you cant use waifu bc it's inefficient

now you can carry waifu with good ship for no extra oil cost

[somber cairn]

that's to make it more gender neutral

imo it could be spouse tho

[velvet adder]

yeah but i guess not for japan

or china

[somber cairn]

well being more gender neutral is a benefit, i appreciate AL EN doing it

[velvet adder]

why didnt they change bride to "ship"

[somber cairn]

well all the ships are girls so.

[velvet adder]

i mean king george is a king not a queen, might be bad to assume

[somber cairn]

as for why it's neutral when canonically the commander is male, imo it's bc storywise differ from gameplay wise

[velvet adder]

nah it was 100% political change

for the western market

[somber cairn]

storywise commander is male and that's that. gameplay wise it can be either so going neutral for an important part of immersion (marriage) makes sense

[velvet adder]

but i guess it can please the 1% of girls who play

[somber cairn]

that's not a bad thing when it allows female players to get more immersed

it doesnt harm male players so...

[velvet adder]

i mean i dont think they would care being called a groom tbh

[somber cairn]

i prefer to not have my immersion broken

[velvet adder]

i mean youre getting married but males can no longer be a groom

[somber cairn]

id still play the game even if it did that, but would it annoy me? yes

[velvet adder]

i suggested way back you could choose your own title

but i guess nobody really cares

[somber cairn]

i rather appreciate the game being gender neutral-ish in EN. it's a good attempt to appeal to a wider audience

[somber cairn]

that would be ideal, but prolly manjuu wont do it and i doubt yostar has the authority to allow it

this is...a good compromise

[velvet adder]

i guess one that didnt happen in jp though so its just annoying that they changed it

just one of many translation changes en's team decides, like inserting fbi memes and other memes

[somber cairn]

well. no offense intended to jp but they prolly have less awareness about including others. it's not a big deal, but it is nice that AL EN remembered we exist

[scenic flower]

No LGBT revolutions in AL, please!

[somber cairn]

oh, some of the translation like story-wise, i do have issue with

but this topic is one that im happy AL EN team went on their own way for

[somber cairn]

nobody said anything about lgbt

[velvet adder]

yeah be careful that was why memes was terminated

[somber cairn]

ppl gonna be stupid sometime

[velvet adder]

another cool option would be to be able to change the roles since all it is is playing a role

you could make the shipgirl the groom instead too

that would suit people like cleveland

[formal oyster]

I actually love that idea

[somber cairn]

oo i like this lol

[formal oyster]

I was skimming through gear lab, and I realize that some changes could be made to the Type 3 Shell Twin 410 as it is a big noob trap as of now.
First the icon should be changed. Right now it's portrayed as a gold version of the regular Twin 410 which it is clearly not.
And secondly, the cost in gear lab materials is horrendous for such a bad gun, costing 21 electronics materials that are pretty valuable considering most of the best gear in gear lab requires it.

So I'd suggest some changes to spare the life of beginner shikikans who don't know better.

[somber cairn]

it's the hazing ritual for new players if they wanted to they could just remove it from the game

[odd tendon]

That's why this server exist along with #gameplay-help

[formal oyster]

Yeah but not every AL player is on this server and in #gameplay-help and should not be expected to be.

I mean I get it, it's funny when people get bamboozled, but I still think the game should do a little more effort to give awareness than this is not just a Gold Twin 410. Or not punishing new players as much if they craft it.

So either change the icon
Swap the crafting tree branch of the Twin 410 and the Type 3, because right now it looks like the Type 3 is the logical continuation of the Purple Twin 410, even though in actuality it's the Twin 410 Kai, so their positions should be swapped.
Or change the materials requirements.

[velvet adder]

honestly i was really looking forward to the "future geal lab update" that everyone always praised was coming and it was going to be the greatest update to the game since opsi was added

but then the future gear lab update added literally nothing of value and STILL NO RAINBOW AA STILL NO RAINBOW MAIN GUN

why even add the rainbow prints for them for an ENTIRE YEAR if you werent going to add them in the update that took a WHOLE YEAR to come

i cant understand how new gear can be added to events over and over (even rainbow gears) and yet the gear lab which is supposed to be end game still doesnt have any

[formal oyster]

"but then the future gear lab update added literally nothing of value"
To be fair the guns aren't bad, especially the US Twin 406. But yeah nothing groundbreaking, a little UR AA or Main gun would certainly have been welcomed.

[odd tendon]

Or maybe, add this server discord code somewhere in the game

[velvet adder]

yeha maybe i was exaggerating a little but still, for the update to come with zero UR's for AA or Main gun, I literally couldnt understand it

i'll never understand this 5000 IQ update

[scenic flower]

Yeah, I don't think there's something interesting left in gear lab, that I didn't craft yet. Well, some UR gear can be crafted many times, but I would like to see even some nice golden gear, coz UR wants too much golden plates.

[formal oyster]

We shouldn't expect people to join a Discord or take part in community. Besides what good would that do to them ? The game barely notifies the player that the Gold Twin 410 is a totally different gun. As I said, same icon, same tree branch, so people would obviously think of it as the natural progression of the Purple Twin 410.
Even if they joined this Discord, that wouldn't change anything, unless upon joining the server you were met with a big warning "DON'T CRAFT GOLD TWIN 410" because otherwise why would they have a doubt about it.

Even worse, people actually encourage players to craft it for trolling purposes more often than not. So that really wouldn't help

[somber cairn]

yea they could reverse the angle that the gun is facing ig. like how they did w/ triple 155 kai

[fluid grotto]

no one saying using meta to 1:! farm, you get around the requirement with lvling ship

[somber cairn]

if u use bad ship to 1:1 u get slow clearspeed

3:3 allows more compensation

3:3 is just flat out healthier for the game. a game about waifus shouldnt encourage you to use fewer waifus lol. its backwards.

oil change imo is better even than autosearch. bc it suits the spirit of the game better

[fluid grotto]

creative building
put 6 random ship

yeah

[acoustic helm]

Just a thought: anyway to donate small amount stuff to new players? Like retro or weapons BP, tech boxes? New players especially suffer from getting better weapons, upgrade parts so it might help them a little? As someone who is been playing over a year I got of excess stuff I would happily give away if it made another player(new players or anyone in need )experience better

[fluid grotto]

people will abuse that system for rmt

[acoustic helm]

Maybe limit it heavily? Like once a day. What is RMT anyway?

[fierce sonnet]

real money trading basically selling ingame stuff for irl money

[odd tendon]

There will be auction for those items

[formal oyster]

In theory it sounds obvious but in practice I wonder how true that would be. As long as we stick to readily available items and not things like cubes, then I'd assume people would just to a Discord like this one if they don't have any friends to trade with and people here would obviously not charge anything for it.

Although I think it's a complicated and risky idea for not much purpose anyway. If people want to progress, then they just have to grind. Not like AL is super grindy to begin with. It's more time-gated, which is worse in a way, I'll admit.

[somber cairn]

i genuinely dont get the thought process behind 'oil cap bad'

[acoustic helm]

Understandable have a great day🏃‍♂️

[fierce sonnet]

not to mention people could make alt accounts to farm then trade the farmed items to their main account

[velvet adder]

if that were true the tutorial wouldnt have been 2:2

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for 36 ships plox

[fluid grotto]

200k attack medal

[earnest minnow]

make a vanguard that basically dido but for bismarck
increase her secondary gun dmg increast by X%

[normal vine]

I mean, historically speaking that would have been Eugen

unlike Liz, Bismarck didn't have much interaction with other ships

[somber cairn]

eugen retro will buff bisko trust

[timber grotto]

Guild name display in leaderboards plox

[fluid grotto]

been asking this for years still nothing

guess cn players didnt cry hard enough

[runic tartan]

With guild 3.0 plox

Operation is really easy and short, think a harder and longer one would be nice plus new research as quite a few guilds should be hitting all tech max soon enough

[fluid grotto]

gvg when

[scenic flower]

never, I hope

[fluid grotto]

raid boss time attack letsgoo

just like essex drill but with guild accumulative dmg

with coggies reward

[fierce sonnet]

let the guilds in the servers fight for dominance pls

either guild vs guild or guild tag on leaderboards

[runic tartan]

Guilds don't do enough imo and not much to even plan for in a guild if not new

[copper nest]

This could be implemented without enabling abuse, items would be sent to random player below some level that was active in last 48h or so, you don't decide who gets them

[runic tartan]

I can see the confetti guns coming

[copper nest]

I was thinking it should be only upgrade parts, tech boxes and gear lab materials

[hearty crane]

On the other hand their randomness sucks, every single "new/old commander event" you can send UID randomly and never EVER led that to a match.

[runic tartan]

Anyone ever got a match from that?

[runic tartan]

Anyways, if they were to implement smth like that, it'd be better to just make it a new player mission of sorts rather than this. Or updating rewards. Since it's rng and really where do you draw line for a new player?

If time playing then would be best to just have it a player mission of sorts, if level then some people will try to keep below a level for free gifts or smth

[copper nest]

Idk I won't bother thinking about it (it's not even my idea, just trying to add up), higher ups will tell devs where and how to implemented it

[timber grotto]

Actually hard challenges for CM plox

[fluid grotto]

triple boss cm

[copper bolt]

add additional rewards for people that do oilcap stages below the oilcap? like increased xp maybe?

also just wanted to save the oilcap on D stages is very nice, no need for any coin concerns for construction to reach 200 builds

[manic hamlet]

probably suggested before but fast forward in opsi please i wanna zoom around

[gray patrol]

maybe change the way exp is distributed? maybe something like a node(enemy fleet) gives a specific amount of exp to the backline/frontline then divide it by the number of ships in the backline/frontline

that way people who still run less ships can earn exp faster

[copper nest]

Fast forward everywhere

[somber cairn]

is there a reason to run less ships though, it sounds counter to the game intent

[fluid grotto]

oil:point efficiency

[somber cairn]

counter: reduce oilcap to make 1:1 irrelevant

[fluid grotto]

might as well ask them to remove oil system entirely

[somber cairn]

sure

[eternal bronze]

Increase cogs quantity for EX and add other rewards aswell

Also this might be an unpopular opinion but devs should make EX mode ranking to be actually rewardful with extra rewards depending on your rank position and such

I feel like EX is too fun to be left like it is right now

[fluid grotto]

top EX reward

[eternal bronze]

Giving how the cog shortage is happening mostly to older players i don't see a problem with making EX relevant

Theres also Challenge mode who has been left in the dust since it was implemented

[fluid grotto]

reward for leaderboard shouldnt be a problem
season reward for top exer, weekly reward for top cm, and cosmetic for top fleet power and top collection

[eternal bronze]

Yeah i agree with it i feel like the game turns empty with no actual reward for working hard and making progress while other gachas does that

[fluid grotto]

maybe add guild leaderboard too

[eternal bronze]

Guild rework didn't changed much also, why even have guilds when you can't even interact with other players guilds and theres barely any interaction with your own guild mates

Which is the worse tbh

REWORK THIS FUCKIN PVP PLS

I LOSE MATCHES TO EVERY nj MAFIA FLEET

when i try to use this fleet i lose every single match with any 14k stat fleet

[copper nest]

I hate them too but usually there are other, different fleets to choose, I rarely have 4 fleets like that (and even if, there's a refresh)

[fluid grotto]

nothing you can do other than gear up more and use relevant ships from permanent pool

[tired tree]

i don't have 457 battleship gun and i nedd to losing matches??

and i dont have archorage at all

[fluid grotto]

get twin ap from gear lab and build anchor then

[somber cairn]

u can literally choose who to fight

u need to get very unlucky to get forced into facing a meta defense fleet

[unkempt kiln]

Can't login via Twitter anymore. After providing username and password it shows "There is nothing here" 404 page. The issue is with multiple games, but all Twitter support says is "go talk about it with third party app support". Anyone encountered something similar?

[tired tree]

i have maxed 17k fleet

and losing to 14k

[somber cairn]

u have 4 options, it refreshes upon each exercise done, and you get 5 free refreshes a day. idk the issue

fleet power is irrelevant

also exercises are only for gold bulin, they're not important if u dont need those

[copper bolt]

just FYI, fleet power ratings of a fleet aren't a very good determinant of whether a fleet is good or not.

[copper nest]

Weirdo (just refresh or take the L)

leaderboard with coggies reward

[copper bolt]

i'd prefer point threshold rewards because leaderboard ranking is a lot of RNG and resetting which is quite annoying

also it'll be harder on older servers such as avrora to rank highly as well

[timber grotto]

Gib world 15 plox

[copper bolt]

what new mechanics would u like to see in W15? How much harder than W14 would it be

[robust wyvern]

Change "cooking" to "food prep" or "sushi making"

[plush geyser]

Alternatively add some personality to skk, all his replies are just complete npc material. Have him flirt or something fun.

[reef ginkgo]

isnt that EX
although imagine cog chips in the pvp shop

[timber grotto]

i’m fine with just w14 but enemies have 50% more health and damage and new ship drop on 15-4.

I’m not a picky man, anything devs come up with i’ll prob be cool with, gib plox

[copper bolt]

fair enough

[fierce sonnet]

ex gives coggers on clearing not necessarily ranking high on leaderboards

[reef ginkgo]

imo pvp shop is the best idea, grinding leaderboards for any reason other than grinding leaderboards would make it cancer

[somber cairn]

ofc it has to be generic, skk is a self-insert

[somber cairn]

as long as cc can still clear it with mutsuki fleet im sold

[robust wyvern]

skk could use a little more innuendo.

[hearty crane]

I still remember the ree-ing when SKK shipped Taihou and Albacore, so probably not.

[plush geyser]

just add options then lol, every post and reply is essentally the same flat dialogue

[somber cairn]

skk did wat, cuz that's amazing lol

[fluid grotto]

you get reward for clearing and also reward by the end of event by topping,
and what older server have to do with harder to rank

[somber cairn]

older server more tryhard but i think that leaderboard rankings is fine

[copper bolt]

more players

[somber cairn]

or why not both

add point milestone as well as leaderboard reward

[fluid grotto]

if you put the reward on leaderboard ppl will tryhard, really

[copper bolt]

the original suggestion was rank dependent reward

[somber cairn]

tbh i think its fine how it is but honestly either way is ok, doesn't affect me

[fluid grotto]

amagi only 1 rerun away from complete circle with older server, ship availability pretty much the same
if you arguing for new player they have the same chance in any server just depends on when they started

[copper bolt]

i suggested instead to just make it tiered based on points

so it wouldn't be an issue

[somber cairn]

reward is what, furniture trophy?

[copper bolt]

leaderboard players would still go for the leaderboard spots

[ornate basin]

[somber cairn]

should be cosmetic so ppl dont feel obligated to do EX

[fluid grotto]

coggies

[somber cairn]

u already got coggies

[fluid grotto]

thats the point of doing leaderboard

[ornate basin]

I dont think we need this back and forth, not every single feedback needs commentary

[raw quest]

[ornate basin]

I shouldnt be getting back and forth pings from this channel, if you want to have a non constructive discussion move to #al-general

[fluid grotto]

yeah my feedback alr self explanatory, just keep getting comments

the idea is there
even the reward list

cosmetic for fleet power and collection because its continuation,
others like cm/ex/pvp are rewarding because its season based

[copper bolt]

i only gave an alternative suggestion to how rewards could be given out and reason why it might be preferred

[fluid grotto]

well just explained the reasoning for it

by cosmetic for fp and collection is something like frame and chat box, expired/extended when daily reset.
leaderboard reward for pvp/cm/ex is tiered depends on position
top1/top10/top100/100+
so everyone who participated get rewarded only diff in rewards amount

[fierce sonnet]

Or just make cosmetic rewards for leaderboards if u don’t want newer ppl to get further behind

[hollow sand]

I'd rather bland and boring Commander messages than the horrible cringe-worthy flirt or suggestive crap. That bit about milk from Kashino, for instance, made my skin crawl. At the very least don't make that crap the only option. I would never say that kinda garbage talk to someone, so why should I have to choose that response?

Especially since a line like "Milk is great and so is the source, hubba hubba" implies all the milk is coming from women's breasts or the Commander has a cow utter fetish. I could do with a lot less fetishes in the game.

[sinful cloud]

You're overthinking that one

[cursive horizon]

Then why word it that way? We all get it, Kashino has gigantic breasts, the Commander didn't need to make an awkward attempt at flirting to drive it home. It's almost as bad as reading Ajex's secretary story where the Commander enjoys being called a pig, squealing, and being stepped on.

[hollow sand]

I need Ajax to step on me

[scenic flower]

But if there are 3 CVs ready, it won't show us the order. Maybe it would be better to make 3 vertical straps (cropped portaraits), that are filling and changhing their color when ready. Maybe choosing who will shot would be nice too.

Is there really no way to unlock the 12th memory cutscene for the Tonic and Tea side-event?

If so, this was really poorly thought out. It's fine if making a choice leaves one shop at level 4 while the other gets to be level 5, but not cool on locking out an event cutscene.
Unless we're gonna somehow get a mission for a building material tomorrow? I'm already at 7/7 on the event tab and have both furnitures, and don't see a way to get that last memory to unlock without waiting 2 years for a rerun and miraculously remembering which one I didn't pick the first time.

I wonder with a possible AA update
If they are gonna add more gear slots to ships

Like an extra slot for a long range AA gun and a short range gun

[timber grotto]

[fluid grotto]

UR ryusei

or gold homing beacon

[gray patrol]

reduce absolute cooldown for backline

[eternal bronze]

i wondered for some time that if Dual Purpose Main Guns would work as a active AA gun they could rework AA based on that

[hollow sand]

They could probably rework it to be something like that
But what it seems like they are gonna do is just add a new UR AA gun to gear lab that is classified as long range
Probably does big damage but only works long range and not short range

[eternal bronze]

that would be quite op on PvP ngl

would prob make crash damage irrelevant or at least crippled

[hollow sand]

But yea in the end I hope they completely revamp the aa system cause it is kinda trash lmao

[eternal bronze]

for that they will also have to change the Anti-Air Mode skill which is basically made around dual purpose gun ships...

note that many ships that had dual purpose guns irl don't have this skill so

[somber cairn]

wait why would AA need revamping

AA is only relevant in w13

[inner frost]

This right here, in my mind shows that something needs to be done about anti-air. I'm not sure what but as of right now, it might as well not exist.

[eternal bronze]

well they are the ones who are starting to mess with AA in the game

creating categories for short and long range AA

even created a bug that made sandy skill worthless for a while

[somber cairn]

huh ok

[hexed vale]

can we nerf NJ's barrage?

[acoustic helm]

Why?

[cursive horizon]

Probably for the same reason I don't like encountering Enterprise or Hiryuu in PvP; it feels cheap and is hard to counter for a lot of players. However, I'm pretty sure neither they nor she are changing any time soon.

[scenic flower]

I'd nerf Juneau first. She makes suffer any pvp meta packs without her. Or just don't allow her skill stack with Pearl gear.

[somber cairn]

id rework juneau entirely so her only use isnt to make her relive her trauma that we're supposed to be helping her heal from. its bullshit and cruel and idk why manjuu dropped the ball so hard when designing her skills

she should be like a living healer instead, that also revives herself upon death once per battle

[cursive horizon]

[gray patrol]

I thought pvp doesn't matter

[velvet adder]

why rework ships for pvp when they can just increase the damage dealt for attacking more than it already is

if u want to rework pvp rework the system not the meta ships

@hasty mountain the last cutscene is obtainable for free by logging in today. I was in the same boat as you but usually I'd wait an extra day for these kinds of things too because it is something that unlocks daily.

[junior cave]

Yes give us more coggies

[velvet adder]

Nerf the difficulty to develop pr/dr ships since they are powercreeped easily by new ships

[hearty crane]

Just thought how funny it was the coinbuff made Fierce Assault 95 even worse compared to 70. Buff? Just re-add the 3rd box per run is enough.

Also another interesting thing is while the Arbiters tuning is 156/156/156 the "traing battles" are still all 180/180/180. We know from beta footage the Arbiters where that too, and it almost makes me think they nerfed it for release but forgot to do so for the training battles. But surely half-assed effort in OPS is just unphantomable

[fluid grotto]

just add more coggies, fixed the problem

[velvet adder]

Please add the option to mute a shipgirl voiceline in a battle, like only mute that one ship not all of them.

I have been using Ulrich and she keeps spamming her voiceline despite her voice tone and word choice is annoying. (Low Tone + degrading type of voice sounds annoying when spammed).

[fluid grotto]

you gotta put spoiler on that one

[formal oyster]

I wasn't sure since I thought that would hinder with feedback, but alright, lemme redo it

So, I was reading through the new Opsi files and there's something quite not right. ||In file #2 of Code G files we can see Anzeel telling how she named Code G "Enterprise".||

And in file #5, ||we got her wondering how Code G got her name Enterprise.||

Furthermore, in file #5 ||we also see her wondering about how some of the materials got into the experiment despite her being Project director, so how could she ignore about her own experiment|| ?

[sinful cloud]

Finally got to do D3 and ngl was excited to see an event map without the stupid movement restriction but nope, it was just a mini stage I didnt notice

Also pls put fast foward in other events and mode too, specially Opsi to reduce the slog that thing is

[fluid grotto]

your text still a story spoiler

[formal oyster]

So I think lately, more than before, there are huge translations issues, especially seeing as the datamined files seem to be completely different.

[formal oyster]

"So, I was reading through the new Opsi files" should act as enough of a disclaimer

[sinful cloud]

Not like most read them anyway so the spoiler wont even do much

[worn mirage]

I've never been able to read those files after getting them, how did you read them?

[fluid grotto]

still think you should put spoiler for people who actually read the lore

[formal oyster]

Anyway, following this and the story as a whole ( with the whole Scapa Flow thing going on too ) I for one would really appreciate the translation team stepping in and giving an explanation for all this mess. Pretty please.

I'd like to suggest making the guild notifications, were we could write the news for our guildmates, plus the text field for various additional info like discord server link and restrictions (like "AFK for month = kick"). And the guildmates should get the notification about the fact, that these fields were changed, to attract their attention.
Also, we need the possibility to hide the notices, that overlaps part of the guild chat.

[fleet salmon]

There used to be a notice board in the old guild menu you could fit several lines of text into. I don't know why they changed it into just a single line.
And you can only view it in the guild chat when there's a ton of free space in the lobby.

speaking of guild, gvg pls

[split gyro]

oil cap was one of, if not the best addition to the game. I can finally use the girls I like without going into oil bankruptcy. Can't you just deactivate clearing mode and oil cap with it? People who don't like it, can just disable clear mode, no? Anyway, as said, oil cap is great. I can use the girls I like, finally! It just wasn't viable or advised at all before the cap.

and in hindsight now with the cap, pre-cap was a bit of a drag, not gonna lie. all I did was look at the oil cost. doesn't matter whether or not I liked the girls. just had to be cheap. really not enjoyable now when I look back

[winter hearth]

Add the possibility to set threat back to lethal, because sometimes you want to test fleets on 14-4, but this makes no sense because you have safe and your fleets could not work on lethal. So I would say It is a good addition if we could change threat as we want after we got safe

ROC should be made a major faction instead of KMS since they are a real super power and one of the greatest counties on Earth.

[rancid cedar]

[somber cairn]

why u reply me im not the one who wants it gone

anyway ppl rly dont understand how much of a gamechanger oil cap is for waifu player

now u can actually use waifu without being severely punished both in performance (bc 1:1 cant carry like 3:3 can) and oil cost

it shouldve been in the game from the start, to discourage the bullshittery that 1:1ing is

1:1 shouldve never really been a thing aside from super low lvl grinding - which it is now, as it should be

in a game about ships and fleets, you should be encouraged to use more not less

[fluid grotto]

oil cost is there for a reason, part of the mechanic to manage resources

[high oar]

remove oil cost and oil entirely

[gray patrol]

just add skip ticket 🧠 waifu no longer struggle

[somber cairn]

manage resource by using less waifus is dumb. oil cap is a nice compromise between needing a stamina mechanic and keeping it from punishing you for playing the game the way it's meant to be played

[fluid grotto]

the math is there, less oil to get event point is efficiency
and youre gatekeeping at this point

[somber cairn]

eh not really? since u can literally turn off oil cap if you want

not having oilcap was gatekeeping waifu player

the only thing id suggest on that front is to have an actual oilcap disabling button that wont turn off autosearch, for ppl like u who prefer it

that way everyone can be happy

[fluid grotto]

nah, my feedback is to remove oil cap

[somber cairn]

what's the point of removing it when you could literally just make a toggle for it

at least my idea makes everyone happy your would make a ton of people unhappy

[cursive horizon]

The mere fact that the oil cap is optional and can be toggled more or less invalidates any reason to remove it entirely. If you want the challenge, it's there, nobody is forcing you to use it. Allow the rest of us who enjoy playing the game at our own pace (as some love to say) while others enjoy their self-imposed challenges.

[fluid grotto]

cant really toggle it off buddy

the feedback is to remove it while keeping clearing mode

[summer spindle]

Why not just go back to your 1:1 fleet while the oil cap still exists? Nothing preventing you

[fluid grotto]

alos 36 ship medal when

[somber cairn]

and my feedback is to add a toggle to remove it while keeping autosearch and clearing mode.

its basically your suggestion but not punishing people who like it.

[sinful cloud]

Even with oil cap, if you love your 1:1 so much then you wont reach the oil cap to begin with

[velvet adder]

if you like stamina and fleet building than just play OS

[fluid grotto]

idk why people keep saying 1:1 never even said that , the feedback is to remove oil cap and keeping clearing mode/rewards

[somber cairn]

but why remove it

[cursive horizon]

Ah, you're right! I was getting confused with Clearing Mode, my mistake.
In any case, a toggle would be the ideal solution.

[fluid grotto]

its cool

[formal oyster]

I am for removing oil cap, but you know, the actual resource cap. Same for coins. Lets us hoard as much as we want

[somber cairn]

this this this

[slate monolith]

You only would do a 1:1 fleet mostly for affinity grinding mostly, especially when the shop in question isn't known to get MVP as much

[supple kernel]

I would have loved a proper Warspite skin for this event. Especially since she already is in the BG of Queen Elizabeth in a maid outfit

[cursive horizon]

I wish Warspite, Elizabeth, and plenty of other older ships would get oath gowns already, myself. It's a shame they don't take feedback on this, but I know I'm not the only person who wants those.

[somber cairn]

ye i assume they only do it when their money guys say it'll likely pay out enough money via new oaths.

cuz u know technically oath skin are free since ur buying ring anyway

[high oar]

Hooo, boy. additional rewards such as plates and that nice piece of gold after killing boss is BOUND to clearing mode as well as oil caps.
lets go back in time a bit. before even auto mode. thing is, back then ANY node would give you SAME amount of gold no matter WHAT. you clear node in 2-1 or 12-4, about same gold. but why people recommended to farm 7-2? cause time. you clear 3 nods and have a chance to loot x2 or x3 gold of boss fleet, while for same amount of clicks and time in chapter 2 or 3 you get less. yes, more consistently, but praise RNG gods.
but then auto mode happens. and guess what, now you need way less clicks to farm chapter 2 or 3, and you also dont need to control it. and to top it off you also get a LOT more commissions out of it. and it was even more INSANE for chinese server, cause you dont need to LB a ship for lvl 100 + 3m exp over it.
and because that took time for devs to realise what have happened, players already got a taste for this. having gold, with cheap oil, not much spend time controlling fleets and exp on top of it. thats why devs couldnt simply nerf chapter 2 or 3. solution - oil caps.
But running 1:1 fleets works only for really strong ships, if both earn exp. most of my friend was running 2:2 fleets in 12-4, with 7-2 farm from time to time for gold if needed. cause again - time. and oil caps is REALLY good, there is almost no benefits to go 1:1.
thats why just remove oil as a system, why newbie should suffer without oil caps. in PvE waifu game.

[somber cairn]

i think devs just realized if they wanna release 4 URs a year theyd need to mitigate their oil cost somehow.

[sinful cloud]

Guess its on the time factor too but 7-2 also has roomba bps and without gear lab, it provided a good AA gun

Now we have dailies with parts for the lab on top of the oil cap and coin increase so not really an issue

[somber cairn]

but i agree removing oil would be pog. we already got morale technically as stamina

or like, play without oil = half reward, consume oil = full (normal rn) reward.

so oil is a bonus instead of a limiter

[sinful cloud]

Was gonna mention that before too but forgot, having 2 limiters for playing is weird but honestly it works out considering the bonus morale can give

And not like it runs out after 2 sorties like most games

[somber cairn]

yea i mean im fine w/ current system, but i think changing oil to a reward multiplier would be neat. could be different ratio too, even 10% reward w/o oil sounds decent to me

my goal is to remove worrying about oil entirely from playerbase. oilcap remove most of it, which is great, i personally prefer a little more tho

[sinful cloud]

Could be good but up to them on that, on limiting gameplay I admit they made a good job with the recent changes

[somber cairn]

ye this is a really good balance already imo

im just kinda shocked anyone would want it reverted to before

[sinful cloud]

[somber cairn]

one thing u can argue is new player progress way faster now. but id say thats a good thing for a 3-4 year old game

[cursive horizon]

I play another gacha game that is so impossibly slow to make progress on, I've been at a dead stop for months now cause they don't have it set up like Azur Lane where we get cubes daily and such. It's a very different, and very boring experience. Whenever I play AL, even if I don't accomplish much, at least I'm getting stuff like ship drops to fuel my enhancements or coins I can spend towards upgrading gear or limit breaking someone. Probably gonna drop Empires & Puzzles before long, it's just not fun.

Their stamina system is flags, but you use multiple flags at a time and they only come back 1 at a time per 12 minutes, so you're super limited to how much you can play in a day. Unlike AL, even before the oil cap, where you could just do efficient teams. I'm so very thankful for AL's quality of life improvements.

[viscid moon]

When other people are assisting with your META fight, can you make it so the bar shows "In progress" instead of trying to guess at a number of damage when the fight isn't over? Not a big deal but it'd be a nice QoL

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for 36 ships plox

[copper bolt]

I think the game receives an update at the start and end of the battle because you're asking for real time dmg? Or just a "Battle in progress" UI notification next to their dmg? Though after a few supports, I think it's pretty obvious the battle is in progress since it always shows the base support dmg at the start.

[viscid moon]

@copper bolt Battle In Progress instead of the damage would be fine imo

[copper bolt]

Understood, you still want to add the base support dmg onto the final total though still right? It's just free dmg

[runic tartan]

Isn't it same thing? Base support damage is the same so when a battle is in progress it'll show up as just base damage. Unless you mean some form of message that says battle in progress to allude to other supports that are outside top 3 or smth

[viscid moon]

sure

Also: There should be some way to have EX lines override skin lines, especially retro lines, IMO. A kind of toggle would be really nice.

[orchid osprey]

I still don't have centaur I've been playing for over 2 years this is stupid there should be a system that gives you at least the ships from the original game over time much like the new years gifts except maybe not another copy of the same 7 ships they give out every year plus one new one every year

[nova girder]

there should just be a permanent one ship wishing pool tbh 🤷‍♂️

[formal oyster]

That's exactly the system they put in place with invitation and medal exchange. Centaur is not a ship from the "original game" she came later. Although maybe it's about time she makes it into one of those systems, that we could agree.

centaur is buildable as offbanner during events

[fair bronze]

Well yea, medals are sorta supposed to be a pity system.

They don’t actually work out that way in practice because the pool of ships on the list is so small - and while it’s sort of silly to imagine the pools being filled with every ship in the roster I think we could and should add any that are older than 2 years.
Although, given the devs have indicated we’re getting a new gacha currency for reruns (and perma?) maybe it’s been recognized that we’re about due for a system rework?

Wishlist idea: perma wishing well with a 100 pull pity sorta like the URs. 50 for elite. 25 for rare. 10 for common.
Only non-event pulls count.
Just like UR pity the pull counter does not reset on acquiring the unit but just like the wishing well your pity pick cannot be changed once set until you actually get the pity.
Include ships that have been in the permanent pool for at least 1 year. List updates every anniversary.

This does not meaningfully inhibit the monetization potential for pull currency, because you still have to pull the pity to pick a new one. So if you want more than one ship you have even more pulls between you and the second guarantee, so it’s actually even worse than if you wanted one.
I know something similar comes up a lot but I think it could be worked this way.

I, like many, derive humor out of others’ misfortune, so there’s also the fact it’d be really funny if someone pulled the ship they wanted right after selecting their preference and realized they had to do 199 pulls to do another.

[fleet salmon]

Disagree with Ruu, get called a gatekeeper, welcome to the club @somber cairn.
Gatekeeper role when

[fluid grotto]

[fair bronze]

Oilcap attached to clearing mode instead of to auto and new torpedo aiming as an options menu toggle.
Pls understand, changes are gatekeeping Manual.

[somber cairn]

u can have clearing mode with autosearch turned off btw

[fair bronze]

Yea

[somber cairn]

tho i agree a toggle would be nice, also add a toggle between safe and lethal on stages that have been made safe

[fair bronze]

That’s the point.
Oilcap is attached to autosearch right now.
Literally nonexistent change if you manual.

imagine mechanically discouraging playing the game.

[somber cairn]

also for those ppl who like challenge: once a stage is made safe, unlock "super lethal" mode toggle, where it's lethal but like how safe is, enemy get +level advantage based on danger lvl

so normal lethal 14-4 boss = lvl128
safe = lvl118
new super lethal challenge = lvl138

[somber cairn]

no it's attached to clearing mode

[fair bronze]

U sure?
I thought it was attached to both
Like you needed clearing mode and autosearch.

[somber cairn]

nope just clearing mode

[sinful cloud]

You can have clearing mode without autosearch too

[somber cairn]

i know this cuz i manualled 12-4 until safe cuz bad fleets

[fair bronze]

I see.

Update notes being badly translated make me salty.

The torpedo aiming actually is only for auto though.

Would be nice if that was a toggle option instead

Situationally, you might also want it off on auto anyway. Since it being aimed with the brit torps actually just makes you yeet all your torps off screen.

… kinda funny to watch.

[somber cairn]

yea torp aim should be toggleable (and improved still smh)

[fair bronze]

I kinda wonder why we can only aim bb guns by moving the vanguard.
It’s probably easier to code but uhh
Couldn’t you attach either the aiming or movement to tilt controls, and then be able to control both independently?

[fair bronze]

Agree on improving the aim, it’s sort of “ehh” and you’re often too far for it to trigger a lot.

[eternal bronze]

better in-game Littorio base art when?

[gray patrol]

increase oil income pls like 3x the current rate or at least 2x

[somber cairn]

[gray patrol]

increase oil rewards in missions as well

and coin/oil soft & hard cap increase

[somber cairn]

remove coin/oil softcap or dramatically raise it we get so much

[fluid grotto]

then we can remove oil cap

[fluid grotto]

more like both oil cap and auto search attached to clearing mode

[somber cairn]

u can have clearing mode on with autosearch off

i do that in hardmode actually so i can see my elbe dmg on myoukou

[somber cairn]

nah keep it too

[formal oyster]

Better in-game arts period. They're so inconsistent right now, with some that are awfully pixelated, blurry, low-resolution, and some that are very good quality, fairly high-definition. Same goes for chibis.
At least an option to get HD arts and chibis sprites, as to not force people with slow connection or low space to download them.

And in the case of Littorio here, there's a case of art quality, but the current one also seems more like an enhancement of the one on the right.

[fleet salmon]

"Why am I being forced to pay less oil? Why am I free to use more ships if I want to, without any repercussions? I want to pay more oil and force everyone to pay more oil or play the way I think is right and if they disagree they are GaTeKeEpErS" -actual opinion of some people here

[copper bolt]

What type of screen do you use? Since they all look fine on mobile imo which AL is afterall, a mobile game.

[fleet salmon]

I'm done with this channel

[copper bolt]

Unless you're suggesting an optional download for HD pictures? Because AL is already quite a big game so increasing the resolution of images further would cause the game to take up even more storage space

and it could be hard because maybe some of the older artworks are already at their highest res so and we all know how upscaling technology isn't 100% satisfactory yet either making it expensive to potentionally redraw.

[formal oyster]

I'm playing on emulator, but that's not the issue. As I said some arts are perfectly fine, and some others are terribly lacking.

And yes as I said, an optional download for HD arts and sprites, that way people that don't care or can't afford to care because of connection/space issues don't have to be impacted by it.
As for your last point, they actually do update artworks already, although at a very slow pace. They do it mainly for the ships for which they add new facial expressions ( Cleveland, Helena, Yorktown, Akagi... )

[fluid grotto]

add coggies to w11 too

[somber cairn]

ok that idea i can get behind

[formal oyster]

Well maybe not Cleveland actually after double checking, she still has this old blurriness to her, although it's definitely not as bad as others. For the others though, yeah they definitely improved

[fluid grotto]

add optional HD png pack

[somber cairn]

in general if enemy lvl is 100+ it should drop coggies so like w10 too

[fluid grotto]

sound pack too

[somber cairn]

if enemy lvl is 120+ it should drop arrays at least once we get lvl130 cap

[fluid grotto]

w10 is 90 ish so no

[somber cairn]

w10 is lvl100 enemies iirc

[fluid grotto]

only 10-4

[somber cairn]

i think only 10-1 is lvl99

well yea make 10-4 drop coggies make jintsuu farm better

[fluid grotto]

w11 avrg 10 cog/w12 avrg 20/w13 avrg 30cog/w14 avrg 40cog

[somber cairn]

more cog

[scenic flower]

WE NEED MOAR COG

[gray patrol]

mor oil

[fluid grotto]

finally on cog wall my boi?

[somber cairn]

i always was

[gray patrol]

I think he talking to Silence but ok

[somber cairn]

idk

[fluid grotto]

yeah remember he argued my cog feedback months back

increase cog amount from log in reward too

[scenic flower]

I didn't say "chips", you know =)

[fluid grotto]

sure sure

[scenic flower]

But it's ok if we'll get both

[fluid grotto]

regardless need more cogs

[somber cairn]

[fluid grotto]

this amount just sad

150 cog for logging in 30d straight

not even enough to awaken 105 an ssr

[somber cairn]

[gray patrol]

CG

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for 36 ships plox (and agreed with coggies)

[copper bolt]

Have you submitted a feedback for it yet?

Also what is the rationale for adding cog rewards to it when previous medals did not provide any reward? Unless you're suggesting it could be retroactive like fleet tech?

[fluid grotto]

no one suggesting medal reward but that's good too

coggies for medal letsgoo

[velvet adder]

yes this should be 2200 minimum since we get 2 events usually per month it is fair to have enough chip from logins to awaken atleast 1 ssr to 120

[timber grotto]

That’s not what I meant but that’s a pog idea

[fluid grotto]

it's like tax return for 120-ing those girl

[copper bolt]

"Faction medals for 36 ships plox (and agreed with coggies)" was what James wrote

[fluid grotto]

i think he's asking for 36 ship medal and also agreeing with my feedback

[nova girder]

Wishes more ship collections would be added

[somber cairn]

more gems? yes

[slate monolith]

We were lucky enough that they even remembered those collection bands to begin with

[somber cairn]

make 'gifts' we can give to raise affinity. especially for lvl120+ ship

cuz due to me wanting to oath on specific day im pretty sure my elbe will hit lvl125 3m exp before 200 affinity

[raw quest]

[cursive horizon]

Okay, been putting this off for a long time but.. can we make these boxes not interact with the map or background? Too often I go to hit Scan, Order, or Auto Search and wind up going back to the map overview or moving my ships by accident.

[fleet harness]

Yes please. Same for the bottom buttons

[eternal bronze]

i would take that

[fair bronze]

When are we adding tech levels to the factions
My Ironblood techpoints are comically far past the needed number for max level at this point.

Legitimately almost 2x as much as you need for max level

I’d also like one for minor factions to better incentivize/reward actually raising them.

[copper bolt]

A lot of IB ships are event locked so for newer players, it is a very difficult faction for them to unlock IB PR ships. For older players such as you and me, that isn't a problem since we were around for those events. Also what would you consider as a healthy fleet tech boost because you get quite a lot of stats for unlocking all levels of a nation's fleet technology?

Or would you rather/be okay with them just adding it and giving cog chip/array awards but don't give anymore additional fleet tech buffs beyond what is already there?

[somber cairn]

i think having 1 more level wouldn't hurt

[nova girder]

Same could be said about every single faction considering they run up to 2700 technology points, which definitely requires a good amount of event ships or tons of 120s - including common ships. It's just one of those "forgotten" systems, since minor factions have granted points but god knows when they're (if ever) going to be useful.

[copper bolt]

point was it is especially difficult for IB. It's just not as difficult for the other nations because they have a lot of ships that are permanent and MLB commons is really easy for fleet tech pts

[nova girder]

my HMS is sitting at 2150 points with IB sitting at 2.5k Funnily enough, no HMS events missed but one IB event missed (Heinrich's).
Either way, it's just arbitrarily sitting at level 4 limit and it would not hurt anyone to have the levels go higher.

I'm actually missing just 2x Little ships, Musketeer, Fiji and Penelope so there's no excuse, really.

[copper bolt]

you probably just haven't developed your HMS ships as much as your KMS ones then

[nova girder]

I have the notables ones at 120 so it's not even really that. KMS just sits arbitrarily at a lower tech level and there's no sense keeping it so low since the only thing that actually matters is enough points to develop PR ships which is considerably lower than what you can reach in each tree

[copper bolt]

probably just the number of permanent IB ships. But yeah fleet tech hasn't really been looked at apart from adding retroactive rewards to it for a while

[undone swift]

Azur lane lite version

[formal oyster]

A lot of IB ships are event locked so for newer players, it is a very difficult faction for them to unlock IB PR ships.
That was true before, not so much anymore. 3/4 of the IB ships are permanent now. Only 13 are event-limited ( counting the ones of Tower of Transcendence ) for 56 ships.
IronBlood is the faction I personally focus the least and I still have 3800 tech points despite the max being 1800.
Every faction could use new fleet tech levels as of now. This is a system that is almost 3 years old now, we got many new ships since then.

[fair bronze]

Respectfully? I feel the “Ironblood ships are hard to get” notion is at best a year outdated. At worst it ignores a number of offmeta ships.

When I joined a year or so ago, I remember it was quite difficult to get so much as a single backline.

Things have changed a good bit since then - speaking relatively.
Bismarck sisters in permapool, not one but two different war archives both drop the ugly sisters and the entire Narvik DD set, if you’re a lucklet you can get Scharnhorst with core data, Roon can be put to dev30 using only coins and patience when you get at least 10 ships, and Tirpitz is in the invite pool now.
Even if it’s true that a lot of new ships have joined the roster and at least four IB ships are still locked in mini-events, at least half the roster is now permanent and I daresay at least 1/4th is even accessible.

I think there are maybe 8 ships in the entire lineup you can’t get permanently one way or another. Their situation is no longer that much worse than even IJN - who, with at least 24 ships spread across at least 4 events that aren’t in archives, are arguably harder to reach a high collection rate for in 2022.

I think you can actually hit tech level 3 without any event ships now.

But even ignoring for a moment this important difference from the 2020-2021 state of affairs… technically it’s not just Ironblood I’m talking about. Their situation is merely exacerbated by how few ships you need to max level and the consequential 2000-3000+ potential tech points they have without rewards, but you hit any faction’s max level before maxing even half its roster.

Controversially? I would say, in a matter of a couple events, that techpoints per ship would need to be actively reduced just to justify the existing “softcaps”.

By comparison; while I am aware new levels = more stats, raising those caps seems a far less “gatekeeping” move.

… you know.
Given the existence of PR techpoint requirements, anyway.

:Yeptune:

[copper bolt]

I did say this too

it was fine when fleet tech was first introduced but there hasn't been any major changes to the actual system for a long time. I'm not trying to block any feedback btw

[fair bronze]

Yeye.
I think we don’t actually disagree that it’s definitely quite outdated at its current level and I think that was my point.

[copper bolt]

fair enough, im not saying it's as bad as it was previously but it is still very difficult to get all the fleet tech pts for Iron Blood still.

[fair bronze]

You’re fine! You brought up a valid point that devs might actually think if they read my posts on their own - so honestly you’re contributing.

[copper bolt]

sicne despite being added to perma pool + WA, perma pool can is very diluted and newer players probably arent focusing on WA that much

But the possibility is there for them if they wish to pursue it which is your point ig

[fair bronze]

:Yeptune:

There’s also nothing saying you can’t luccsacc on a wishing well one of these days and you can pick up to two SRs - both Ironblood - in any category now. You could even have multiple to chose from in a couple of these pools. Relative to both the number of ships and the state of affairs at the feature’s implementation, this is hugely more accessible.

[formal oyster]

Now as to whether fleet tech should get more levels or if each ship should give less fleet tech points, that's up to devs I guess. The latter would be damaging for newer players but still be beneficial for the system.
The other one would still be alright for newer players ( nothing would change ) but maybe that would give too much stats out of fleet tech and potentially starting to make it too powerful ? I wonder.

[copper bolt]

i wouldn't mind if they just added more levels that gave coin/chip rewards without adding more stat bonuses since i can see fleet tech stat bonuses possibly becoming an issue in the future

[fair bronze]

This is… eh, pretty much what I figured.
It’s just that I also think there is good room to grow in tech level awards still.

Ironblood still gives just double digit HP to most surface ships, for instance, and IJN is the only faction that boosts BBVs. (They’re also the only one that has them as of 2022, but the boost you can get for other backlines is a lot bigger so… not the point).

[formal oyster]

I guess that could also be a solution. A weird one to me, but still.

[copper bolt]

well I added "if" for a reason. If the devs see no issues with more fleet tech bonuses then go for it. If it is a problem then I don't think many people would mind just getting the additional cog + gold rewards.

[fair bronze]

It certainly could reach a point where raising a lot of ships becomes critical to fleet strength. I’m not doubting that.

What I do doubt is that we’re already at that point and… it’s sort of a faulty slippery slope argument in this case that assumes they’d need to update just because they do it once.

[formal oyster]

They’re also the only one that has them as of 2022

I think that's more of an history issue

[fair bronze]

Yeah, hence “not the point”

Certainly they’re the only one that pursued them as much IRL and, respectfully, while you could add more we’re not that big of a WoWs collab yet.

[formal oyster]

I assume you still want some novelty every once in a while when you develop those kind of games, so I think it's not too far-fetched to expect a Kearsarge at some point in PR. But this is another discussion

[fair bronze]

Another topic indeed, yes.

What’s being focused on here is the fact that BB boosts are removed on refit to BBV (humorously, including HP and accuracy boosts ), exacerbating the weakness gained by refitting Ise and Hyuuga kai.

Not a huge exacerbation, but it’s still existent, and that’s why I highlight the fact that IJN tech gives them all of 6 AVI stat.

It’s a ship type that could be buffed by other factions on the principle that their techlevels can buff BBs and there’s not that much difference, is what I’m saying.

[formal oyster]

What’s being focused on here is the fact that BB boosts are removed on refit to BBV
Wait, what do you mean by that

[copper bolt]

BBVs receive different fleet tech bonuses to BBs which receive a different bonus to BCs

[fair bronze]

It’s as it says. If you have a max LB ise and refit her she loses the HP, RLD, FP, and AA that is normally gained by BBs from tech levels.

[formal oyster]

Ah alright, my bad, I misunderstood. Yeah that is indeed an issue.

[fair bronze]

The ones from leveling and acquiring ships stay but… we’re not talking about those presently.

[copper bolt]

the overall difference isn't that big tho

[formal oyster]

In practice surely not, but the principle of it is a bit... eh

[fair bronze]

:Yeptune:
But the difference is there at all and does mean there’s growing room.

[copper bolt]

they lose a little HP, AA and Hit for some AVI. Seems fair to me

[fair bronze]

[somber cairn]

ye it looks mostly fair to me honestly

[fair bronze]

As said by SaltCry, the difference is highlighted more because of it being principally… bizzare. Losing some armor and aiming worse to have two seaplane catapults be like-

[fleet salmon]

the loss of those stats is far outweighed by what they get for retrofitting

hyuuga gets a whopping 143 AA increase at level 120, for example

[fair bronze]

[copper bolt]

in principle are Aviation Battleships the same as Battleships? I wouldn't think so @fair bronze right?

it's a different class

[fair bronze]

Wowie.
… ok, point taken. BBVs are only like- part of the thing to highlight here though; and both whether the refit is worth it or not, and just how different they are from normal battleships, are both separate from the point that you could probably boost at least a few classes of ship without meaningfully changing the meta at all.

[fleet salmon]

BBV do need a little more love IMO. I think they should let you use them in hard mode maps in BB's place.

[fair bronze]

Like-… with the exception of maybe Allen M. Sumner; considering some DDs get literally 130% stats from gear now, exactly what DD is another Eagle Union level gonna boost beyond reason?

And what ship other than maybe subs would care for the HP an Ironblood level has to offer them?

If anything, I would say that perceived insignificance is why devs haven’t changed it - and that’s the meat of the issue.
It’s a mechanically small impact that… for a lot of players that it would actually effect, mostly just makes the difference of whether or not it’s of any value to raise one faction over another.

[fair bronze]

I do agree with this btw. Becoming unable to use a ship in literal commissions because of its refit is somewhat silly.

“Can’t escort convoys anymore. You have floatplanes.”

Taking this to its logical conclusion, might as well say warspite can’t do BB escort duty because you can hypothetically give them a swordfish.

[somber cairn]

yeah bb requirement should allow bbv.

[somber cairn]

im never gonna say no to more stat boost bc these bonuses help weaker ships proportionately more than stronger ships. give them more!

[fair bronze]

On another note, let CBs be used on CAs spots too

[formal oyster]

[somber cairn]

ok but cc is a god among men

and he did the boss with 14s left to spare, with pretty good rng procs. mutsukis will need some buffing if they are gonna do w15.

[fair bronze]

Pls.
CC isn’t even playing this “like” it’s touhou, it’s just literally touhou the way he plays it.

[somber cairn]

oh hes surviving fine but eventually the dps checks will outstrip mutsukis

[formal oyster]

Depends on what gimmick they'll go for with W15.
Because as a feedback, I'd say that I'm not fond of W14 at all, feels like childish game-design of "let's put everything together and make it super chaotic lolxd". Grossly uninteresting and frustrating at times.
I hope they'll find more interesting ideas for the future. They showed they can still think of new interesting things, as seen with the Temperance fight.

Although the night fight with the vision mechanic was interesting on paper, in practice it got completely overshadowed by just how ridiculous the fights are in W14. You'd expect some kind of strategy in a night fight, but here it was just a big dps check, guns blazing right left and center.

its already annoying and a chore sending out fleets into it

[fluid grotto]

just skip it, its optional

[velvet adder]

my opinion on the feature spend time making something better not adding to a dead and boring mechanic

[fluid grotto]

not a dead mech, most guild doing it for plates

now double that rewards

[velvet adder]

yeah maybe if it gave more id be more incentivised to do it

its a lot of daily boring stuff for not a lot of stuff atm

#collected-feedback message
This feedback is a bit weird, especially since the content of the feedback and the attachment are two different things.
The feedback asks to get rid of the pixelation (which...yes please) but the pic make it seem like it asks for her reworked art to be reverted to her original form ?

[velvet adder]

the problem is it isnt just littorio, a lot of the art is set to be at 1080p only and the moment you zoom in on any waifu, it pixelates basically any old art

its a function they probably never intended on adding until people bugged the game on purpose to do it

[formal oyster]

Oh a lot of them are far from even 1080p. We talked about HD arts multiple times here already. ( Yesterday even I think )

[velvet adder]

the uh KGV skin is one of the worst i think, and it was relatively new at the time

[formal oyster]

What I don't get is the inconsistency. Some new arts and sprites are good, and some others are awfully pixelated/blurry. I don't know how they do exactly, but it seems like there's no standardisation of their art quality or something. Bit weird.

[velvet adder]

I always ask for an optional HD+ art texture pack

[copper bolt]

probably because it's just how different artists work

[velvet adder]

but when we had "art contests" on discord, we were always given specifics on how the art should be

like for loading screen art specifically

[formal oyster]

Besides, the disparity in quality of renders also affects different ships of same artists.

King Georges V is notorious for her pretty ugly renders, and then you have Zuikaku who's perfectly fine, on any of her skin. And it's the same artist.
Sometimes it's disparate even on a single ship, with different skins having different quality.

[velvet adder]

Yeah idk if its like cut corners for ships who they think arent gonna be popular, bad quality control, shit compression or something else

[formal oyster]

And it's not like they can't remake them in better quality, because they already do on some ships original art ( Yorktown, Helena, Akagi... ) but we already talked about this multiple times

[copper nest]

b-but it will costs millions for that small company! also these updates were because of crosswave game I think

[formal oyster]

Yorktown was remade few months ago, alongside her new (absolutely awful) chibi sprite with the cruise pass update, probably because of the skin. So I don't really see the relation to Crosswave.

[copper nest]

yorktown no but akagi for sure, helena maybe?

[sinful cloud]

Dont think York's chibi is that bad just that the old one was iconic cause

Also is NC and Renown even on Crosswave? They got updated too

[fierce ember]

well,now that they have resources freed up that shouldnt be a problem
but yeah,they really need to take a look at some of the older stuff,and not just pixelated art
upfront unfinished art,magically growing body sizes, cursed expressions and all of that could get fixed

[formal oyster]

Nah the new one is completely out of style compared to the rest. The old one fits way more the style of the chibis in the game, on top of being iconic as you said.
It also looked much more like her if you compare with her art than the new chibi.

[nova girder]

Magdenburg's art just looks so out of place compared to any other ship's art as well

[stone valley]

It’s really annoying how the game keeps outdated chibis and update the skins chibis

Also I noticed some skins have weird hair chibi rigging like- some skins have better rigging then the og skin chibi
Especially when the ship was released with her skin (like event ships)

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for 36 ships plox

[cursive horizon]

This may have been brought up by others before, but I think it bears repeating that if we get another UR or Meta ship, it needs to be for the Vanguard and not yet another backline ship. We dearly need a UR/Meta CA, and/or possibly a Meta DD. We need variety, not just a bunch of CVs and BBs. (or BC in the case of Gneisenau)

Semi-related, we are in desperate need of icons to help distinguish BBs and BCs, as well as CVs and CVLs. CBs should not have the same icon as a BB, and they should also not be excluded from CA requirements in Hard Mode.

[hasty mountain]

we do have icons to distinguish (tech lab) but they are not used on the actual ships sadly

[cloud sable]

yea its weird that its not used anywhere except there

[north wave]

ok but what about hms vanguard

Hi there will it be possible for KMS Prinz Heinrich to sortie again in the future?

[formal oyster]

Her event will eventually rerun and you'll have a chance to get her. Then later after that the event will be permanently available with Heinrich being put in permanent building pool.
No clue as to when though. Expect at least multiple months before the rerun happens.

[raw quest]

at least 1.5 year of wait

[copper nest]

No one said anything about event release order 😐 it was just a question, not feedback (more fitted for #gameplay-help or #al-general but who cares)

If reruns are supposedly shorter (I don't remember if it was official info or rumours or leaks) maybe it will mean more of them, because waiting almost 2 years for rerun is 💀 💀 hopium

[eternal bronze]

oh yeah

im looking at you Northern Overture

[copper bolt]

they asked for a rerun

[slate monolith]

As of late with the reruns they are now going to be a lite version, and no there will not be a new SR ship involved in said rerun. At least that what was said in the stream a month ago

As for when they are going to happen, that's asking to have it rerun soon in a sense

[copper nest]

nah it was "is there a possibility of obtaining <ship> again in the future" probably new player, not familiar with how things work 😐
again, more of a game question, not feedback, but whatever lmao

[slate monolith]

Well as long as it isn't a Collab ship, or a META right now it is highly possible for an event ship to become part of the permanent pools, it's just that it'll take time for it to happen though. Like for the event to go into the War Archives

[eternal bronze]

You'd be doing work that goes nowhere, I'm afraid. Didn't they promise there'd be more buffs after the first buff wave back when OpSi came out? Now we're over a year in, no UR MG/AA in sight and no buffs either.

[eternal bronze]

there were buffs but only for destroyers

sadly

[nova girder]

Even that was a bit half-hearted I think, so it's just waiting for new URs to powercreep :/

[eternal bronze]

yeah i felt the lack of real buffs too

thats one of the reasons im making this

[somber cairn]

dd buff was at least something tbf. hopefully more shit shows up

still wish they gave all 3 buff to all dd, no reason to skimp on it

[copper bolt]

AOA + 30% aux stat buff would be pretty busted ngl

[fluid grotto]

yeah lemme have shima that proc every 5 shots with extra 60 trp, thatd be cool

[fierce ember]

there is a lot to cover,considering majority of early SRs just do not work in current concept

from skills that do double damage or double proc that offers absolutely nothing in flexibility, to skills that do not work even on paper due to how meta is

[somber cairn]

only for the top dds, and theyre already busted. it wouldve helped bad dds a lot

[eternal bronze]

Z2 be like

have a barrage skill

gets torpedo buff

[fluid grotto]

so lets powercreep other dds even more?

[somber cairn]

should get all 3 shima and poikai already op as fuck it wouldnt matter much. it'd change the world for 95% of dds

powercreep happens regardless. it's better to buff more than buff less.

relative to endgame content, if bad dds got all buffs, theyd be stronger than before

doesnt matter how strong the top ones are if the bottom ones are strong enough

like sure id rather they buff individual bad ships specifically but that aint happening. so if we blanket buff, make the buff good.

[fluid grotto]

thought you had day long of argument about powercreep in the past but went 180 on this dd take, it just sounds biased cause you want to use some purple dd ngl

[somber cairn]

powercreep from UR is different than making bad ships usable

the issue of powercreep from UR is dev balancing content around UR. if bad ships got buffed this is a non-issue

[fluid grotto]

not necessarily from UR

[somber cairn]

the real important thing is that the lowest common denominator should be usable in all content

besides its not like 30% aux buff is broken if it was 100% then you may have a point

[fluid grotto]

also you only looking it at dd lvl not ship hull as a whole, making dd so busted also powercreep other type of vangs

[somber cairn]

then you can buff other types too cl guns need a massive buff

[fluid grotto]

yeah just drop it there

[somber cairn]

objectively cl guns have shit dps

[eternal bronze]

imo the DD buff should be choosable, would add more freedom and different strategies

[somber cairn]

anyway like i said it is better to have blanket buffs than no buffs

the real buff was actually all dd eva +40-60

another buff id like is +5% perma evarate to all dds

[foggy quiver]

pls add fast forward to anywhere aside event
feel like 🐢 when doing stuff on OPS and story after grinding event

[somber cairn]

actually. hull type buffs hm

dd +evarate cl +aa potency ca -dmgtaken bb +critrate cv +hitrate

(aa potency is like, u know the chart on the wiki where it shows % of dmg done per plane count? increase it all by an additive 5% for cls)

[fluid grotto]

yeah buff cl gun so they can make gun dd obsolete

[somber cairn]

every cl who can use dd guns uses dd guns. there's something wrong there

buff cl gun dps so it is competitive so you choose cl gun for more alpha or dd gun for more aoas

also that way nimi and some other dd can use cl gun instead of it being a meme option

but anyway +5% evarate to all dds pls

[fluid grotto]

yeah cus alot of those with that option

[copper bolt]

ur aa when

[somber cairn]

[eternal bronze]

just sent it

the description part was so big that it turned into a .txt file

[fluid grotto]

more hard mode opsi monthly

[timber grotto]

Pls make a CM stage literally 7 times harder than current CM and gib cooler frames for beating it

[fluid grotto]

seven times

[somber cairn]

why 7, why not 6, or 8

[timber grotto]

Why have 5 dollar bill when we can just have 3, 4, 6, or 7 dollar bills?

Why have 6 corrosion levels when we can have 4, 5, 7, or 8?

Why is META health 1480000 and not 1380000 or 69420?

Why is America’s national security decision made in a pentagon shaped building and not a triangle or dodecahedron shaped building?

I don’t think anyone can truly answer these questions (also I think 7 is a cool number).

[spark abyss]

there was actually a youtube video on why there aren't 7 dollar bills

and other "odd" numbers

[timber grotto]

1 mystery solved

[spark abyss]

and we do have corrosion 4 and 5

if it's just corrosion 4, it would be too easy, same with 5

[timber grotto]

“Why do we have 6 corrosion levels” not “why do we have corrosion level 6”

[spark abyss]

if it's corrosion 7, that's just a stronghold

[timber grotto]

Sure, why not 8 tho

Or 9

Why is meta health 1480000 and not 1470000 or 1500000

[spark abyss]

idk

[timber grotto]

Me neither

[spark abyss]

though I do agree challenge mode could have a rework

it's bland in its current state, and exercise is also currently underworked

increasing it's difficult by seventhfold sounds excessive, though it would depend on how it's done

we already have EX, so making it like EX, just with more rounds is not really a good idea either

[fluid grotto]

wtv the difficulty just add coggies to cm

[spark abyss]

the fun part of the game, gameplay-wise is sinking a bunch of ships, so I was thinking it could be similar to how spiral abyss works in genshin/honkai, where there are disorders that gives buffs to players and players can build a fleet surrounding that effect or maxmimizing it

and instead of having 1 or 2 bosses per round, the rounds can be make similar to how mob nodes work, with the addition of a boss added at the end of the wave

[fluid grotto]

adding mob sounds boring, i just want to pewpew bosses

[spark abyss]

what if there's a bunch of prod nodes and the effect is 50% attack cooldown reduction

it could be fun, maybe

[scenic flower]

Could you please move that "Purchased" line so it wouldn't cover the buttons? Also, when getting the same message many times, it must appear at the same place, not spreading on the screen.

[flat onyx]

Which genius decided the fake difficulty mechanic on D3 in the current event was a good idea? It doesn't add challenge or strategy or anything, it just makes 3*ing it obnoxious.

[fluid grotto]

what fake difficulty

[gray patrol]

more cogs pls ty

[fluid grotto]

more coggies from daily

[frigid yacht]

Yep. The current state of the cognitive chips/array system is abysmal. Go upvote it in #collected-feedback

[formal oyster]

Yup this is a huge issue currently. You want to play the game but you can't, have to just log-in and wait to get cognitive chips/arrays. For very endgame players who basically only have leveling ships to do to complete fleet tech, this is nightmarish and draining the will to continue playing.
I feel like the only limiting factor in how much you progress should be the time you're willing to put into the game, not the arbitrary amount of items that the game gives you at regular ( or irregular ) intervals.

And this game had it good with its energy system since it gives enough oil to be able to play a lot, as opposed to many other gachas. But the awakening system is starting to really ampede endgame players progression right now.

[somber cairn]

lower oil cap so we spend less oil and make coggies drop rate much higher

[eternal bronze]

im running out of them aswell

now i understand

[formal oyster]

Oil cap was one of the reasons cognitive ships got so scarce to begin with though
I think it's fine where it's at, and if we continue to play with it, well that may only exacerbate the issue of chips.

[somber cairn]

that's why the 2nd bit exists

farming coggies should be a thing reward dedicated player

[formal oyster]

I agree with that, it's just that, maybe, devs should try to solve the issue one step at a time to not make everything more messy
Right now we still get much more oil than chips, so maybe balancing them accordingly rather than bumping one down and bumping one up x2 would be more appropriate, imo

[fluid grotto]

remove oil cap and increase coggies income

[violet vault]

Leipzig maid skin should still have Fishy around when in combat, she keeps calling it to save her but it's nowhere to be found.

[somber cairn]

make oil cap better and increase coggies income

i suggest cutting oil cost in half and increase coggies drop rate to average 15/run in w12, 25/run in w13, and 45/run in w14

[sinful cloud]

This but for every skin chibi without the rigging
Cant stretch enough of how stupid Odin looks in hers, she's a fucking jumping lamppost while firing

[nova arrow]

It would be cool if they decide to make some kind of ''Oil Pass'' wich will give you a huge amount of Oil every Day for 15 or 30Eur/Month. With that i could play the game way more :3

[somber cairn]

buy with coin instead

[gray patrol]

🐳

[nova arrow]

I think the whale fits the coin idea ;P

[cursive horizon]

Leave the oil cap alone and just address the issues of not having enough of the resources people need. Even with the oil cap, this is the first event in well over a year that I've essentially run out of oil while running.

[fluid grotto]

we all free to leave feedback as long it's not against the rules

[copper nest]

this channel sometimes looks like shitposting channel
appreciate another war archive 👍 rate-up wasn't at fault I think... 🙂

[nova girder]

Well we kinda have to rush these out since JP (and I suppose CN?) are getting first Italy event in WA next week

[primal yew]

Remove limit of 4k special core per month plz

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for 36 ships plox

[slate monolith]

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but can we get the minor factions in the research Tech Research, or at least know where it goes for the 4 major research sections we have so far?

Because sometimes I want to use the minor factions, but I need to work on the majors just to make my overall research levels be put to use

[iron pumice]

is there a reason we dont get anything from leveling the ships to 125?
i know its less necessary than leveling them to 120 but it would be nice to get some points from arraying them or something..

[cursive horizon]

On one hand I'm surprised we haven't had faction research for the Northern Parliament, Sardnegna, or Iris Libre/Vichiya because we have a healthy amount of ships for them by now. On the other, this feels a lot like Collections (and other aspects) that were implemented and then forgotten about.

[slate monolith]

It's most likely due to the original level cap was at 120 when that section first came out, but for EN it came out while our level cap was at 110 though

[stone valley]

You repeating this here everyday and not submitting it to Belfast won’t do much

[torn burrow]

Solved (I'm stupid): Not sure if this was suggested before, probably. But I would really like to be able to scroll/swipe through characters left and right from the character screen itself. A bit like this:

[nova girder]

I'm a bit confused, can't you already do that? Or is it something specific like literal arrows you can press instead?

[raw quest]

ye, you can already do that

[fleet salmon]

Yeah, it's a thing already, it'd be cool if it worked in the dorm though. For some reason after one of the updates the game unloads the furniture when you view a character's stats and has to load them again when you go back, slowing down the menuing.

[signal pollen]

Is there any possible for build ship from ship archive who is already acquired?
I unknowingly retired purseus, but it turn out I really need her but I don't want waiting for the rerun.
That's same as other ship, accidentally retired.

[copper nest]

Well you gotta wait for rerun 😬

[torn burrow]

Ahhh! Indeed; you can actually swipe already! Oh, kill me already. Sorry folks! But thanks for replying, or I still went back 'n forth to Dock screen. 😉

[fluid grotto]

hard mode skip ticket on clear mode

[somber cairn]

pls add to belfast bot

[scenic flower]

Un, un

[frank lodge]

yeah. We still so behind in this last update in order to be truly caught up. Would appreciated even faster archive release.

Back then, it's really suck to be so far behind since en only update archive once in every 9 months compared to other servers in every 3 months.

with new rerun system in this year, it shouldn't really be a problem to release another archive in 1 month after polaris.

[fleet salmon]

It would have been easy to squeeze another war archive update last year in place of, idk, that 2 week mini-event that awarded a free skin for... Michishio. Oh well.

Hell, both that event and Polaris WA could have been running at the same time.

[somber cairn]

war archive comes with rateup except for muse ships so they cant fit it in the same time as major event

and amagi rateup happened right after the michishio skin so

[fleet salmon]

Michishio event wasn't a major event, just 2 easy missions every day for 2 weeks. It'd be basically Polaris WA for one week, one week break then Amagi WA.

There was already an event drought at that time because ch14 happened that was after Amagi WA, it was actually a combination of Shima event lasting 3 weeks and Cruise pass/yuudachi retro update happening.
My point is there was a lot of time back then.

[somber cairn]

i mean it occurred similar time to shimmering blue

shimmering blue iirc 9/16 to 10/3, then amagi rateup 10/14 to 10/20, there is slightly longer than 1 week break, squeezing polaris in there wouldve been harsh

and skybound rerun was 10/28 onward

[frank lodge]

From March to September last year is actually have so much time to put it. Other servers can update archives every 1-2 month just fine because they don't insist to put rate up unlike nerf server. So, yeah. Just release it way faster already, dammit

en could be shafted in rewards and other stuff again if they still refuse to catch up way newest archives.

Like how back then there are different SR pick between en and rest servers just because we still so far behind to archives and many ships isn't permanent yet. There are also case where ships that is featured for xp bonus is really different just because they still refuse to release archives way faster. Not even we fully caught up in mini events till now (like 3 rerun left behind)

All of you don't want it to be even worse (like en could delay newer events just because lacking of those) for sure.

[velvet adder]

idk why we dont catch up to archives faster, first they had a break neck speed and put events back to back even and now we're close to them they turned back into a snail pace and ignore global again

just archive them and give us that new rerun feature with them all at once

[fleet salmon]

Well, there was a chance to catch up last year, didn't happen. And it's going to be hard to do in a year with 4 UR events.

[fluid grotto]

but new players won't be able to keep up with rushed archives

[velvet adder]

new players couldnt keep up with event after event but nobody or the devs seems to care then

[frank lodge]

ikr. Not even we caught up to smaller events till now, either. It's like 4 mini events rerun and 3 archive behind. Really far behind.

If en really want to catch up to latest content, don't do it half-assed and please release any content, that still left behind, way faster till there are nothing more to catch up anymore.

[snow bough]

this

[cursive horizon]

I sure do remember when people were begging the EN servers to slow the hell down about a year and a half ago on Twitter and Reddit.

[frank lodge]

And now, it's become the slowest update ever with not even any effort to try rerunning many events that still not released, yet. Not to mention, slow af archive update.

Thanks to those people.

[copper bolt]

It's not that big of deal though is it?

Compared to being behind on major events

[cursive horizon]

Honestly, still kinda feels like we're going at the same pace we always have been.

[frank lodge]

But it could be. future events could be delayed because of those old rerun. And yet, they don't use many dead week chance to rerun them, either.

[cursive horizon]

War Archives or not, we still get little time between events to recharge on cubes.

[copper bolt]

What would you suggest happens in CN and JP when EN gets those mini event reruns in the dead weeks?

New mini events?

Since idk how many people would want a 3rd rerun

Since they all get permapooled

[frank lodge]

Well, just dead week. Not like they couldn't do it, either.

[cursive horizon]

I personally appreciate the "dead weeks" because it allows me to catch my breath in game. I think lots of folks feel the same way, it's just they're not in here suggesting feedback. Which is probably true of the vast majority of players (not chiming in I mean).

[copper bolt]

Fair enough

[frank lodge]

and mini event rerun should be good enough to rest for older player, while also actually give a chance to newer player to get them and do catch up.

It's also actually suck for newer player if they keep delaying rerun.

imagine waiting for Tartu (for example), but need even longer to wait than how it supposed to be

[copper bolt]

Don't think it's being purposefully delayed tho since when CN/JP gets a mini event rerun that is new, EN gets one they are missing unless you're saying u want en to catch up to cn/jp

In terms of everything

[frank lodge]

yes. So nothing will make future content delayed on en for a long time ever again.

[copper bolt]

👌

[fleet salmon]

One thing they could do is combine 2 rate ups in one week in a 2-for-1 WA update, with the usual chance for each elite and super rare, creating a very generous pool. It wouldn't be a big deal because on one hand, it'd be just as easy for new players to get everything and on the other, those ships are mostly obsolete anyway. This would also mean jp/cn wouldn't get dead weeks in the process.

[somber cairn]

rate up is better

[frank lodge]

No. Getting every content update without any delay is still better

[somber cairn]

iirc a lot of ppl complain about how fast events were in early 2020, impossible to keep up basically. so they listened and imo it's better. they should be quicker than now, but now is better than then

[somber cairn]

ppl did complain and the devs slowed down in response...

[velvet adder]

i dont think they did listen tbh, they ignored all the "slow downers" as far as i remember
