It's Penny with a Lü Bu skin. Don't know why it was specifically for her, though.

[slate monolith]

Well I just don't have enough XP boots to warrant spamming limit caps with the cogs though myself

[nova girder]

I've been pretty much running 12-4 and 11-1 since the oil cap and the amount of exp you get is insane compared to how badly the cog gains lag behind

[fierce ember]

if you grind that much that you outpace its income...then just use same ships?but putting cog chips everywhere isnt a solution

[nova girder]

To outpace its income isn't exactly a feat

Either the rates need severe buff (especially the monthly log-in) or the amount needed for awakening should be reduced. Latter would hurt those who have been spending cogs though.

Currently it takes like a month to get chips needed for just 6 SR 100-120. Thanks to oil cap (and XP reduction for 100-120) you can do that leveling process in much, much less time. And you sort of want to have a stockpile of cogs anyway since URs eat even more cogs and new ships in general.

if the solution is that you shouldn't even try and level new ships then I'd dare say there's something wrong with the design

[runic tartan]

I had almost reached 90k and still ran out p much

[cursive horizon]

Agree that some of these outfits look really out of place. Anything with a horse, in all honesty, feels so far out of left field for a game about girls battling at sea. This includes that outfit of Cheshire's from a little while back. Really glad Unicorn hasn't unexpected had a life-size horse/unicorn as part of her outfits yet.

[copper bolt]

I think the point of all the changes is that u can use whatever you ships you like without feeling guilty of "wasting" xp

Because, as everyone has already said, getting xp is so easy now that it's not hard to just level all the ships to 120 provided u have the cogs.

Therefore you can just chill with whoever you like, use them and when a new ship comes out you want to use you can power level them easily

Apart from just wanting to grind lots, there is no real reason you have to level everyone to 120 at a breakneck pace right?

Before oilcap, no one was complaining about cog chip income or really the rate of getting 120s right

[somber cairn]

yes. this. this is the issue. even playing normally will make you run out of coggies unless you deliberately play inefficiently (using maxed 125 ships to farm w12, etc).

[copper bolt]

Why does the change in making it easier to get 120s mean the rate of obtaining them has to change as well?

[somber cairn]

if you're fielding 6 levelling ships to burn your oil in any world with oil cap you will eventually run out of coggies, it's inevitable.

[copper bolt]

Considering they also lowered the xp requirement as well

[somber cairn]

honestly? id be fine with them reversing the exp requirement, it would fix the issue in a way lol

[copper bolt]

I think the devs intended to let you play inefficiently

[somber cairn]

i dont mind grinding more, in fact i'd like longer to get to know the ship and affection grind before they max out

[copper bolt]

Exactly, it's a self imposed player problem.

[noble python]

remove xp books and revert xp changes

[somber cairn]

then they should make it feel less bad to field a maxed out ship. gaining 0 exp feels unsatisfying (which is why ive previously suggested to either uncap the exp a ship can hold, just to flex (since 3m insta caps them +5 levels anyway), or uncap affection cap so you can flex how much you use a ship in campaign)

[inner frost]

I didn't know it was a self imposed player problem that the devs hard limit me on how much leveling I can do in a month, let alone having to think of who to uncap and not instead of just letting me uncap whoever I want when I can

[sinful cloud]

Go with Polar's suggestion and remove them, you're already gated at 70-100 with bulins, it was just another thing on their addiction of gating which brought problems too

[somber cairn]

i dont like that a ship stops gaining exp or affection eventually tbh. at least exp. it makes no functional difference if you cap them at 3m vs uncap, apart from making it feel better to use the ships when grinding.

[copper bolt]

You save time which is the most valuable thing you have.

[somber cairn]

like, lvl120 to 125 took 1.3m exp, not even half of the 3m cap

it would functionally change absolutely nothing, except that it makes human psychology feel better bc they still see a number going up.

plus you can flex your 100 million exp waifu

or at least add individual battle counts for each ship literally anything so fielding one at 125 3m doesnt feel wasteful

[copper bolt]

I wouldn't mind if it kept saying +amount xp despite being capped

And some people like to 3 mil cap multiple ships

[somber cairn]

total dmg dealt by this ship across all battles would also be a cool stat to track.

the easiest one to implement is probably number of times the ship has battled, tho

[hallow burrow]

hi guys @runic tartan asked me to pray for cock chips

sorry, typo

[runic tartan]

[hallow burrow]

[fierce ember]

how is having better time grinding an issue?you arent supposed to speedrun through the game like you can now in the first place
removing chip roadblock would just reveal other roadblocks ppl will then switch to

[fluid grotto]

you expect me to waste exp?

telling people to stop grinding to solve coggies issue its not a solution

[fierce ember]

the game doesnt have any support or systems for you to raise more then one fleet per month perdiod,more cogs wont solve anything,would just move on to the next roadblock that could be anything of limiting factors

[fluid grotto]

if cog resource can keep up with the exp ofcourse it will fix the problem, what ur on about

[fierce ember]

if you want to level more ships,then it would require changing much more then that

[fluid grotto]

and you dont need to "speedrun" to have this problem, the scale is just bad and playing normally will cause the problem

[fierce ember]

i dont think you would raise more then one fleet per month with normal play,even more,playing normally ppl usually just slap their usual ships and dont care

[fluid grotto]

yeah, it's fleet tech stat , raise more ship gain more stat

and you can't force your way of playing to other players too

[fluid grotto]

not sure if we're playing the same game but grinding w11/12 only gonna take you a week or two to get one fleet to 120 using self regen/daily oil.
so idk why ure expecting people to only raise 1 fleet a month

[fierce ember]

you wont ever need that many raised ships,as simple as that
in most cases you already have much more then 4 stable fleets to perform every role with minor tweaks on gear or 1-2 switches for ships,nothing else
giving you the ability to level every single ship in your dock to 120 will reveal issues that you cant raise all of them to be usable,and you dont have any way of using them bcs we still use just 2 fleets with having just 6 fleet slots
raising all ships is a just a goal,not a requirement
game needs to have an infrastructure supporting that mass of ships rather then just blindly uncap stuff

[inner frost]

[somber cairn]

which is why my preferred solution, if not more coggies, is to make playing inefficiently more appealing. ie, with permanent battle statistics for each shipgirl, or uncapped exp (over 3m) or uncapped affection if oathed.

[fluid grotto]

who are you to tell people to stop grinding their tech stat

[somber cairn]

ie, you still progress something, even if it's just a flex stat, even at 125+3m

that way it feels better to run max ship so you run like 3 maxed ship 3 levelling ship and thus coggies stop being an issue

at least for me it's a good compromise, i can feel good about using my maxed ships, stop having cog issues, and stop worrying about being inefficient, all in one go.

[fluid grotto]

which make it more difficult with coggies issue cus most of those tech stat fodder are garbo, but hey it's a permanent buff to your account

[somber cairn]

could always add my ideas and gib more coggies

[inner frost]

I sort of like all the "stat track" ideas, but (in my own experience) it has nothing to do about being inefficient. It's about "I want to level ships/get fleet tech but cog chips severely hinders me from doing it" and these stat tracks wont do anything to solve that specific issue, other than being neat fun info.

I simply want to be able to 120 ships without being so heavily gated, and having to think about who to 120 and who to not and when to save for a possible UR is more annoying than it has to be. It's a gacha game mechanic that's not realistically needed considering that we are gated to how much we are allowed to play by oil anyway, hence why I would rather them just removing chips and arrays from the game completely instead (as the devs will most likely continue to increase level cap) and let me level break by having my time invested (oil) and with coins, even if it means an increased amount of coin to do so

[somber cairn]

make AL the best game ever

[inner frost]

also Z-flag because my Mikasa is automatically worse than others who have Z-flag

[somber cairn]

yeah personally for me it would at least help the issue, as then i stop obsessing over efficiency. but for ppl who are in it solely for fleet tech it wont help much, so ideally we get both

also since fleet tech is more of a late game goal, perhaps one way to help it is to make 1 more level of tactical daily for lvl 110 or 115 commanders, that gives more cogs and arrays

[fierce ember]

obsessing over efficiency
there you named the main issue,and at least we had moves to lose less over being inefficient,which helps

[somber cairn]

that way it still needs to be "earned" so to speak and is a simple way to add more.

[fluid grotto]

alr finished with any content with my main fleets long time ago, late game goal is minmaxing pretty much

[cursive horizon]

If someone grinds like mad "cause they can" and it winds up screwing them over, that's not the devs' fault. I seem to recall a couple of people here saying "play at your own pace" but apparently rushing to get all ships to 125 is the pace they seem to want, which I'm almost positive is not the actual majority of players.

[somber cairn]

i think chips as a resource are fine bc gachas are all about prioritizing and managing resources long term, but it should be more flexible and not as punishing as it is right now. would that be acceptable to you?

[fluid grotto]

yeah i wish rushing is what cause the problem,
not playing normally and get hit but coggies wall anyway

[somber cairn]

the issue is that just spending your oil normally is enough to outpace chip gain unless you deliberately make yourself inefficient by including a couple maxed ships along for the ride.

[cursive horizon]

I play normally and haven't hit it. I'm pretty sure lots of people have had the same experience. The ones who seem to be complaining the most about cogs also seem to be the ones that are wanting EXP books gone and all the changes reverted.

[somber cairn]

if it was only ppl who were rushing 120s as much as possible who had an issue, that would be one thing

[cursive horizon]

It's almost like we're not allowed to enjoy having whatever ships we want anymore.

[fierce ember]

the point of oil cap was so you woulndt feel bad over using your maxed ships,rather then turbo leveling

[somber cairn]

for me, im running out of chips and im not even levelling that many ships, i just never had the chance to build up a cog stockpile.

[inner frost]

I think there are other areas for that, Coins, Oil, Gear, PR, Cats and what else have you. Leveling ships is something I don't see as something that should be a "who to prioritize" but rather as something "I want to level this ship" and be able to do it with no real concern

[somber cairn]

except you still feel bad bc they get 0 exp.

[cursive horizon]

I've taken max ships along for the ride since I first got them to max level. There's nothing wrong with that, it's practically expected.

[somber cairn]

i can think of many ppl with cog issues who are fully supportive of oil cap and all current changes, theyre just not generally the ones in here bc they know it's futile

[cursive horizon]

Why does it feel bad they get no EXP? Cause it isn't going to the classroom anymore? What's the problem? They're helping protect the weaker ships.

[fierce ember]

you can,as long as you dont just randomly LB ships across the doc,again,you can 100-120 6 SR ships per month freely,why is that such of a big issue

[fluid grotto]

yeah it's like im not allowed to have my fleet stat ship maxed

[inner frost]

And I want to limit break more than 6 a month, it's not a hard concept to grasp?

[cursive horizon]

Nobody told you to get as many ships as possible to max level and stats as quickly as you could.

[somber cairn]

cuz i want a sense of progression even for maxed ships

my suggestions are

1. show ships stats like battles fought in, total dmg dealt (cumulative) etc
2. uncap the 3m cap since it's pointless anyway (120 to 125 only takes 1.3m or so). Let exp accumulate indefinitely, or give it an exceedingly high cap like 2 billion
3. uncap affection for oathed ships, although the stat bonus still maxes at 200.

[fluid grotto]

nobody told me not to do it also

[somber cairn]

u sure we get 13200 chips per month?

[fierce ember]

yes,you get about 7k from dailies alone

[cursive horizon]

I wonder where the complains were when all we had were level 120 ships, and folks were maxing them out frequently?

[somber cairn]

[ornate basin]

I think this discussion is going on too long

[fluid grotto]

7k is like 3 ships, thanks game

[ornate basin]

no one opinion is changing, feedback isn’t really being made eithet

[somber cairn]

this my feedback

[cursive horizon]

Apologies, Kawaakari.

[fluid grotto]

scale coggies reward to keep up with exp

[somber cairn]

could give a coggie multiplier (multiplies all sources of cogs) based on # of ships at lvl120 thus making it easier over time

idk a good value for it but maybe +3% per lvl120 ship?

[fluid grotto]

scaling coggies reward to commander lvl

[somber cairn]

that would also work, +1% coggie income per cmd level

how about both.

also my suggestion earlier of a 3rd lvl of tactical daily for cmd 110 or 115, which would give say...100 coggies per run compared to the 70 of the lvl100 one

and 5 arrays instead of 3.

[fluid grotto]

make tactical daily lvl up to 160 with 5 lvl increment

or 165 since that the current sofcap

[uneven jewel]

or create a new building (call it a lab/research department w/e) generating coggies. like 10 levels, comm 100 needed for the last stage. and make it give like 20 cogs per hour when at lvl 10. it's nice enough to help a bit, but not too extreme to make cogs too abundant

[somber cairn]

there's like maybe 5 people across all servers who're lvl160+ i think up to lvl120 or lvl130 is good enough for now.

[fluid grotto]

just follow the current softcap is fine, give people motivation to lvl their commander lvl

cus as for now going lvl 100+ bring not much diff except slight exp dorm bonus and bigger resource cap

[somber cairn]

true

[raw quest]

[wheat yoke]

Has it been suggested before to increase the conversion rate in the Lecture Hall? It's pretty alright I guess for 53 books a day (I'm at max Lectrue Hall level) but having so much overflowing exp from using a lot of lvl 100s now (Especially with oil cap) is kinda ehh. Feels wasted, and the exp books are cap anyway so commanders will burn them for other ships.
This will just fasten the exp book acquisition and have not excess exp be wasted from doing later contents of the game.

I know this'll will basically allow commanders to raise more girls faster and meaning, and unavoidingly, burn more cogs so another issue that's already been talk about so no point in repeating it.

[somber cairn]

then they need to also remove the hardcap of 3k exp books the books pile up so fast

i agree with ur suggestion tho, i dislike how it feels wasteful

why does anything have cap? to save server space maybe or just to force players to not hoard excessively.

if i could id hoard the living shit out of every resource in the game

[fierce ember]

having cap on stuff is to prevent stuff from breaking usually,but in this case its just to force us to use those books and and space out our grind,which is a bit of a annoyance,when you do long grind shots

[copper nest]

server space no

[loud axle]

You could make a prestige system for botes to show off your dedication for your exp grind.

[fluid grotto]

just update faction medal thatd do it

[loud axle]

🚮

That doesnt show off nor fix the endgame problem of getting a bote to 125 and having wasted exp

[somber cairn]

🙏

#al-general seems to hate my ideas tho bc apparently earning nothing for using a maxed shipgirl is...fine? i mean it's tolerable but it could be improved.

[loud axle]

Here's an example I found. In pineconne, there's a Master coin system for players that cap out on either player level iirc. Why not give players a system like that where they get X coins after Y exp to use on Z shop

[somber cairn]

tho anyway simplest way is to display # of battles that ship has participated in

[fluid grotto]

having like 100 of 120 of said faction is flexable wdym

[loud axle]

EN is EN, you already know they braindead.

that way, there's no longer wasted exp, you increase player retention by having them work towards things.

[somber cairn]

what would the shop have for sale?

maybe special custom frames for the ship?

like how there's an oath frame for oathing but there could be more than that ig

[loud axle]

I do not see any downside to this shop/feature im free to any feedback that suggests otheriwse.

because CAPPING botes has been one of the biggest problems in AL in a long time.

[burnt perch]

this game doesn't need more shops and currencies, thank you

[loud axle]

It does, if it fixes the biggest issue with AL

[burnt perch]

What issue?

[loud axle]

When you cap out a bote 120/125, there's essentially 0 reason to use them. This problem used to be slow to get to that point before the Lecture Hall rework. Now, it's a fucking joke and essentially a rampant problem.

because the exp packs cap out + there are boats you're obviously not going to use and rather exp pack.

It was a big problem before 125/lecture hall, it's still a problem now

[burnt perch]

Well, we already have 5-6 shops, adding more is clutter

[loud axle]

We just need a way to mitagate this crysis.

[somber cairn]

doesnt have to be a shop, any incentive to use maxed ships more often would be welcome. my suggestion to provide individual ship statistics (like battles fought) by itself would help already.

there's also the suggestion of uncapping stored exp which ppl probably will downvote, as is the suggestion of uncapping oathed ships affection which apparently a ton of people hate

[loud axle]

because they are 5 heads.

[fluid grotto]

lvl 16 meta and very hard arbiter

[sinful cloud]

Then tell them to not make the game as roadblock galore, its not good game design and its seriously annoying rather than "wanting to keep players in"

[runic tartan]

Even if talking from a new player perspective, they'll be timegated by chips hard rn

[hearty crane]

The sollution to people min-maxing is... adding fluff that doesn't matter? How would that prevent people from wanting to min-max if it's fluff? This is the "improve PvP MECHANICS by improving merrit shop" discussion all over again, it doesn't adress anything at all, it's just doing on the side unrelated.

[loud axle]

They should add a RESEARCH HOT TIME

I.E an event where you can either do two researches at once, or cut down the research times in half

[nova girder]

Considering all the clutter in already, I don't think that's much of a problem

[nova girder]

I'm just joking that clearly whether there is clutter or not does not seemingly matter when designing (lower rarity boxes) and I think the shops are at this point very cluttered to begin with. Like Shiranui's shop already offers stuff like tech boxes for ridiculous prices but I wonder if anyone has even ever bought those.

[somber cairn]

i have, when overflowing in coin

the small chance to get a gold steam catapult is worth if im 100k+ coin and no event nearby

[uneven jewel]

I still hardly get over 40k so I can't really understand how you people struggle with an overflow of coins

[somber cairn]

wdym struggle, i welcome it

i hated my days of abject poverty

[reef tinsel]

Its very easy to sit on a huge pile of gold when there is nothing of value to spend it on. 3-4k oil per day on 12-4 + no cog chips will do that to you

so more cog chips please

[fluid grotto]

coggies in w11

[fluid grotto]

after you done with gears/retrofit/pr/limit break and hit the cog wall then you'll get coins overflow

[uneven jewel]

I'm done with all of that and yet most likely due to me equiping every ship, so I still got millions of coins I can sink into that

[fluid grotto]

if youre going for fleet power /enhancing random gears yeah, sure

[uneven jewel]

it's a good method to stay busy/motivated when you have everything

[fluid grotto]

maybe if they give fleet power a stat bonus like faction tech (i.e 1 fleet tech lvl /5000pts, or scaled)then people will have something to work on with gears.
kinda p2w but it's a single player game at the end of the day so who cares.

[uneven jewel]

that wouldn't work as fleet power is a massively screwed metric. one one hand good gear doesn't equal the highest fleet power and fleet power is influenced too much by a few stats. and the overall fleet power can be cheesed way too much by whales, e.g., having the dock space for every ship in each lb state and equipping gear that gives a higher power stat. as fleet power works in a funky way and calculates differently LB dupes as different ships, inflating fleet power over people with a regular dock. that explains the huge discrepancy of the top people in the leaderboards (>25k and ~20k for the top handful of people) followed with a steep dive down towards 15k and less

[fluid grotto]

yeah i know, but at least it's something to work on

[uneven jewel]

fair enough, while I do enjoy raising my fleet power the natural way it's still kind of a shitty useless metric in the end

and giving rewards/boni for high fleet power would just enable even more people to use crappy gear

[fluid grotto]

i mean people been complaining in the past how fleet power is doing nothing and practically a useless numbers, just throw some bonus stat in there so it's worth working on

[copper bolt]

The xp still gets added to the lecture hall. Just like how it does for PR. Just FYI

[cursive horizon]

That's good to know, I wasn't aware it was still going there after the change to the books.

[hearty crane]

They really didnt touch profiency at all (including doubling it on sunday for no reason anymore now)

[copper bolt]

the sunday proficiency doubling is still a nice thing tho. You can get like 30k proficiency in 1 13-4 run

[somber cairn]

if they redid how fleet power is calculated i would be happy to see it give minor stat bonus

[velvet adder]

how does my fleet get stuck TWICE on 2 different parts of fog on a stronghold

pls remove all fog, entirely

3 times on 1 map in 3 different locations im gonna mald

[timber grotto]

If they did that, they would specifically targeting and screwing over the top 1% whales who spend money to increase a useless flex stat.

Devs won’t kill their cash cow so that won’t happen.

[somber cairn]

bleh

[cursive horizon]

What's the point of having Low Resolve state that your efficiency drops by 60% if the game won't let you continue to use that team to fight? May as well just say "fleet's resolve is too low, they're refusing to battle" instead.

[velvet adder]

I could make wagyu beef with these cash cow

[hearty crane]

You can use them like that... in regular maps.

[cursive horizon]

That's good to know, it's usually only a thing on stuff like C6 Abyssals and this Hard Arbiter fight.

[merry grove]

The droprate for rainbow gear bps is seriously criminally low.......

Finished both Hakuryuu and Agir and not even a single complete Tenrai

Wth is this bs

[noble python]

because focusing on ship bps does not mean you get gear bps?

[copper bolt]

if you did a lot of pure cube researches, then you would have had a 0% chance to get gear/tenrai prints from those. Also only doing face researches means there is only a very low rate of getting gear/tenrai prints. You could maybe do more Q researches to get more gear/tenrai prints since personally, I have not finished haku or aegir but I'm at 70/50 tenrai prints.

because I've taken quite a lot of 1-4 hr Q researches over 1hr cubes

the drop rate for UR gear in PR is quite low but the recent Q research buff with PR4 has helped massively, but that's only if you actually do those researches ^^

Personally got the PR4 Tenrai in 5-6 months vs 13 months for a drake gun if that means anything to you and I've been playing the same amount pretty much.

[velvet adder]

maybe gear should drop from H research as well tbh

or, hear me out, research shouldnt be the only way of getting these prints!

they should go into the data shop on launch

locked at like 10 prints a month for purchase

[inner frost]

Or we can use gear lab

[velvet adder]

the legendary gear lab update

adds like 3 gold guns that are kinda meh and 0 new rainbows

[noble python]

yeah replace those E series research with gear lab

[velvet adder]

no aa or main gun rainbow despite having prints for over a year

so bad

[hearty crane]

Well it added 1 new rainbow subtorp... and it sucked

[wheat yoke]

was it suggested before to have the adjust button from Event/Main Campaign to be also in Op Si when redeploying fleets?
I've checked #collected-feedback with discord search and the suggestion might have a different keyword so missed it

[copper bolt]

is this only for fleet redeployment?

because there is no other time you'd use it in opsi

[wheat yoke]

yeah

[copper bolt]

[wheat yoke]

[merry grove]

I nvr did cube research for a month

And nth bruh

[copper bolt]

if u do a lot of face researches, the gear print, and correspondingly the tenrai BP, drop rate is really low still

[somber cairn]

bad luck is also a thing

[hearty crane]

Not sure, but you can adjust the order at any time in formations. The only bad thing is that it seems to be buggy with subs in that it'll use the initial order on spawning regardless what you set it in formations. Haven't really checked if they fixed that since reporting it though.

[merry grove]

Boooooooo

It's harder to get than UR gacha

[wheat yoke]

Formation is before the battle starts? I kinda want an option to adjust my ships formation before I actually leave the port's redployment. Saves a few clicks especially when people suddenly decided to reconsider their comp. Do tell me if you're referring to a different formation thing

[raw quest]

just play at your own pace, it's permanent anyway

[wheat yoke]

Ohhh, okey that's very nice to know, I missed that button
But I still would like the ability to adjust them in the redeployment screen if possible.

[copper bolt]

if u change in the formation screen, it saves for all future battles too apart from the sub case which hunter said

[wheat yoke]

[somber cairn]

probably been suggested before but i really want a toggle to bring a stage back to full lethal threat level

i cant properly test ships if it keeps getting easier

[iron pumice]

this is such a good idea, i like it

[cursive horizon]

Where the hell is Chen Hai's rigging? This doesn't even look like a default ship, it looks more like an outfit that gets released alongside her. Honestly, she doesn't even really look like a Chinese character, the outfit looks more like an evening gown than anything specific.

[slate monolith]

Originally she is most likely based on her irl version of being a seaplane carrier of sorts. Granted she would be considered something like Kashino but as a backliner, if you go by irl stats

[loud axle]

To be honest, this should not be capped at all, despite no real reason to use this resource

[cursive horizon]

(Didn't mean to sound angry, just confused/bewildered)

[slate monolith]

Nah, it's okay. I expected as much

[copper bolt]

Some monster grinders would get 3-4+ UR bulins a month if they let u do that

[loud axle]

And? There are not that many UR units in the game that requires that to be capped.

Nor is there shop updates that let you use that

[copper bolt]

U scrap for extra medals and coin

[loud axle]

for more than just one item that rarely shows up.

[slate monolith]

Also, that's for when you don't want to try and get all 5 URs in the gatcha

Plus it's for retrofit items that can be used for Sandy and Warspite too

[copper bolt]

Well they made specialised core much easier to obtain compared to previously. Used to be barely anyone could get to 3/4k specialised core per month

[slate monolith]

They may need to rase the core cap to 5k now because people complaining about wasting them near the end of the month

[copper bolt]

Income was already buffed so basically anyone who played now had a guaranteed specialised bulin every month

[copper bolt]

It's not really wasted if u dint really use the currency for much either right

[copper bolt]

Is the current UR bulin income not enough? We get 1 for free every 2 months from the cruise pass and 1 every UR event in addition to 1 we can earn monthly. This will add up to 22 bulins in 1 year and there are 4 new URs

[copper nest]

It's kinda the same with exp issue

[copper bolt]

If people need to raise 5 URs in 1 year including shinano this year, this leaves an excess or 2 bulins.

Of*

[loud axle]

We're running in circles again.

[copper bolt]

What is the reason for it to be uncapped if it being currently capped does not really have any major drawbacks?

And is it a convincing argument? Is what I'm trying to get at.

You could say capping it monthly encourages players to play every month and that rewards regular players who also manage to build the new URs

[copper nest]

I know, in 5 years it will have important use like cog chips and we will wish it was uncapped back then so we could hoard it 💀

[eternal bronze]

now that seaplane tenders are considered CVLs might aswell give us non paper KMS CVs

[slate monolith]

The last ones on that list might be for Vichy there

[copper bolt]

Fair enough, I'm guessing u started recently so u haven't had a chance to save up enough specialised core to MLB yet right?

[copper bolt]

But this still applies

U get enough every year to MLB all new and rerun URs considering 5 UR events a year + 2 extra

Is this not satisfactory?

PR don't use UR bulins as well

[slate monolith]

Even if you're an old player upping the cap still helps regardless

[copper bolt]

Understandable but I'm guessing this is your situation right? @wheat yoke

👍

[copper bolt]

Then this would apply then right? I think this system stops new players from being able to roflstomp early game content even though its pretty easy already but I get how u feel.

Context is always useful

Yeah they did buff the income a lot. Similar to coin and oilcap treatment levels of buffing

Albeit the terrible income was only at the very start and was soon changed because it was that bad

[hearty crane]

And by monster grinders you mean just regular play with OPSI I am at 4000 10 days into the month

Also it is interesting to read "UR are too hard to raise!" after the constant "DR is trash, since you can just pull a better UR and instantly get it better." Even if it somehow its 2 months you need to wait, thats still a fraction of DR.

[sinful cloud]

You're telling me that isnt a Strasser skin?

Thats the problem with having China in a ww2 naval game... they didnt have much of a navy and even now its merchant vessels galore

[fluid grotto]

people who claimed that probably doesnt have maxed dr

[hearty crane]

I got over 40k even with the cap

[sinful cloud]

Im all for removing the cap but how can someone not hit it? Ive literally only played 2-3 days of the event to grind a bit and hit it

[cursive horizon]

URs don't need you to invest weeks unlocking them and then spend months hoping for blueprints, which I appreicate.

[normal vine]

let's wait if they actually give her two seaplane slots and not just the usual fighter/torp arrangement …

(I still haven't forgiven them what they did to Chikuma)

dunno, I'm sitting on enough tokens to trash three UR bulins next month - having already MLBed Ulrich

I mean, I got lucky and pulled her twice, but even then I had so many tokens from hitting the cap every month

[hearty crane]

Even a LB0 UR helps newbies in ways we never had

[normal vine]

and unlike everything else, you can get URs to 100 without needing to LB them

(there's also a free bulin at the end of the current Cruise, so there's that)

from a long-term perspective, the cap is ok as is, I'd say

yeah, it's probably annoying as a new player, but you'll have pretty much the same problem with Merit and Medals for the other bulins

[untold jacinth]

[fluid grotto]

[high pond]

Which one will he tap

[agile gazelle]

Not grind all day and have a life

[uncut sleet]

I'd honestly love for seaplanes (Recons) to have more use since right now we have only 5 ships that use them, 4 being retrofits.

Even if you could equip them to crusier's as an aux for more asw/air power even if they couldn't airstrike.

[sinful cloud]

2-3 days worth of grind in an entire month is more than doable with a life... not like I grinded for the entire day to begin with

[normal vine]

like the Catalina?

[uncut sleet]

Yeah pretty much or like koln retro's helicopter

[somber cairn]

an shan retro is gorgeous thank you manjuu

it's better to send those under #bug-reports as translation errors

never thought i would have so many few cogs in my entire career

[thorn dust]

It takes 6 taps to quick retire 10 ships, that could be optimized

[past ridge]

They should put Event Ost's on their official Youtube channel. Tower of Transcendence had some bangers.

[split gyro]

retiring is ... tiring. so many clicks to do something so simple. and why don't we have a "retire all ships meeting your selected criteria"? I have seen people in videos be on a retiring spree for minutes after a grind. It's one of these ancient features that need a overhaul

"retire all" button and automatically scrapping gray and (maybe, with a toggle) blue gear

give us a tiny list, like the clear rewards list with the "retire all" button, in case you don't want it to be literally one click.

[slate monolith]

That's almost like saying ships shouldn't have a selection cap when you want to use grey ships for upgrades there

[winter hearth]

Remove Cooldown by resetting talents by Meowfficiers because for receiving the best possible cat you need something around 100 resets or even more if you are not too lucky. And this is 3+ months in the best case, even if you have 600K. So I think it will be good if you could reset talents of your Meowfficiers without waiting tons of time for this.

Or at least add push notifications for ending of Cooldown of resetting talents

[fleet salmon]

Since a few patches ago the talent resets are refreshed with the daily reset.

I'll agree that the existence of this cooldown makes rolling talents annoying.

[cursive horizon]

I agree that the event music should be up on YouTube - or just release a damn soundtrack in general, it'd be nice to have!
Also, regarding retiring, many people would never retire Commons cause they're all being used for enhancement.
Similarly, certain blue gears are worth keeping around such as Hydraulic Steering.

[somber cairn]

quick retire is something you need to enable anyway, so i dont see the harm in optimizing it

can the weather bullshit in strongholds pls not stop autosearch ok

[copper nest]

yeah but no ship comes equipped with blue gear worth keeping (if we talk about campaign maps, because gangut exists)

[cursive horizon]

Oh, no, I thought they were just referring to blue gear in general. Like when you've opened some Tech Boxes and are sifting through the trash. I also always scrap whatever the retired ships had.

[hidden bear]

Dido's Party Dress Skin isn't classified as a Party Dress Skin in the Skin Shop.

I have it bought and it's not with the other bought Party Dress Skins.

[copper bolt]

Skins that are limited don't show up even if u have bought them until they are put on sale again or added permanently

I've just checked and the dido skin you're talking about was rerun previously but not added permanently just yet.

[hearty crane]

We've asked for a skin overview UI (Also really handy for eventskins you got without owning the ship) but alas. The skin you mention is properly classed a party skin btw.

[timber grotto]

make guild missions auto accept regardless, I can claim reward later

or add ! that it's there for claim or whatever

[hearty crane]

Please remind yourselves this year to add the An Shan and Fu Shun storylines to their event, unlike 2021.

[cursive horizon]

Oil Cap for War Archives would be nice, especially Hard Mode. We've already got auto on clear, so why not add this much appreciated quality of life addition? I see a card for SOS maps (which is certainly needed) but not for War Archives.

[fierce ember]

not having to re-clear them upon archive would also be nice,since like,the data is stored out there,but they still get archived empty

[tall birch]

I'm honestly disappointed that you literally cloned Ping Hai with a nearly identical outfit and everything, and called it a new ship

[inner frost]

Unfortunately, them "cloning" ships is nothing new. Chen Hai is pretty much just Strasser as well.

[nova girder]

I still wonder if Chen Hai having no rigging is a sign of rushing or what. I seriously thought it was just a new skin, lol.

[tall birch]

At least they're wearing different clothes, I have more of an issue with identical ships wearing nearly identical clothes

In the same faction and ship type, no less

[paper socket]

I suggest tuxedo cleveland hold a luger and wear a fedora

[cursive horizon]

Wait, that's not Ping Hai?

Same with Chen Hai looking like Strasser, it just feels incredibly lazy. I can understand there being cloned movesets, like the Z18-21 girls back in the day, or some of the Little Beavers, but this is quite different.

[fierce ember]

its not exactly identical on the outfit side,but the combination of alike face pose and theme is a bit eh,passable since self repetition is unavoidable,chen hai on the other hand looks like the exact clone with just more facial expressions and feels just like a skin rather then a new ship

[crude pasture]

according to the Hanzi it's Hai Chi

[orchid osprey]

If we don't get the anchorage qipao skin im quitting this game

[raw quest]

[hearty crane]

then...

[cursive horizon]

It still really creeps me out that Anchorage talks like she's 6 years old.

[scenic flower]

👆🏽

[eternal bronze]

no surprise honestly since many other characters have mental issues aswell

but yeah she do be creepy for me

[somber cairn]

dont care, shes cuter anyway

[somber cairn]

how is that creepy she's just mentally ill. sounds like a you problem

[hearty crane]

Nothing a gag can't fix. Speaking about that, I do hope NOs rerun comes with sweet new Gulag skins, even if it is a "light rerun".

[nova girder]

Probably because lewding someone who is mentally at best, a small child is pretty creepy.

[somber cairn]

then dont lewd them

its actually quite simple

[nova girder]

Fiction and all that but it's not really hard to see why it could be considered creepy.
(Plus, the base skin is already very lewd so)

[cursive horizon]

Tell that to the devs then. It's hardly a "me" problem if the game presents a full grown woman as having a child's mind and then expects us to dress her up in sexy clothes.

[hearty crane]

I'd say more naieve than "a child's mind" but maybe that's just me

[velvet adder]

well.... this is a lewd gacha to begin with anyway. Lewd skins probably make up most of the sales everywhere

Anyway on that note, just wanted to say skins this round were great

[somber cairn]

i mean they havent even given her a skin yet so i think youre assuming

personally id like a cute wholesome skin for ancho

[somber cairn]

you know what i find creepy? anyone who lewds her. i dont find her creepy bc its not her fault shes like that.

[somber cairn]

if you cant hold back from lewding someone with a child's mind i think the issue is you

[cursive horizon]

Except I'm not the one doing the lewding. It's the devs.

[nova girder]

You literally just have to "special touch" for comments on you groping her 🤷‍♂️
Again though, it's undeniable that the base skin is lewd. But ultimately, feedback was left by Mishima and there's no reason for this debate.

[somber cairn]

i dont think the devs are lewding

[hearty crane]

"You literally just have to "special touch" for comments on you groping her 🤷‍♂️ " Is this not every ship?

[somber cairn]

you can grope mutsuki and i dont see ppl complaining same thing honestly.

[nova girder]

If character wears the skimpiest clothing, how is that not pretty much intentional lewd by the devs? It's literally approved by them to make her wear skimpy clothing and be on the mental level of a child.
Either way, the point was made that it's somehow just in the mind of the player, a "you" problem. It just factually isn't.

[somber cairn]

the issue is if u find the clothing lewd, imo.

skimpy/revealing clothing is not inherently lewd.

[nova girder]

That's some next level mental gymnastics. But I'll leave this at this.

[sinful cloud]

Im finding amusing that one side is acusing while the other is using trying to use psychology
Its virtual characters, it doesnt matter. Theres a solution, scrap the ones you dont like (or dont get them in case of meta/pr), theres over 400 ships

[copper nest]

solution is more cog chips!

am I doing this right?

[nova girder]

I don't really give actual hoo or ha about it, but it's obvious as to why someone can find it creepy. And that it's not just in the mind of the player but also part of the intention. Might as well claim that Kashino's cow skin isn't actually lewd, but actually quite reserved.

[rare jay]

Okay, that's enough. Unless there actual feedback for the game to be said, I'll ask that you all move along

[feral folio]

I think Queen Elizabeth should get a retrofit. Yes, I agree her skill is good, but she is extremely lacking compared to all of the other faction leaders. Compared to ones like Nagato, Bismark, and much more so compared to Richelieu, saying her stats are a let down is an understatement. Even if a retrofit only gave her a new barrage skill, or simply added a self buff of Critical chance/modifier to her pre-existing skill "Queen's Orders", the stat buff alone from a retrofit would make her more viable in later-game fleets like the other faction leaders.

[copper bolt]

unfortunately they don't take suggestions for new retrofits

[halcyon gulch]

will it be possible for event ships like Inverted Orthant will return as permanent builds?

[inner frost]

Eventually, but it'll be some time still

[somber cairn]

yea they dont allow retro suggestions unfortunately bc otherwise everyone and their mother would ask for retro for every ship

[edgy prawn]

Need a way to remove meowficer from all fleets in the cat lounge. Switching multiple cats out in the comfort room at the same time would be nice too.
The animation for buying cat boxes should be faster or skippable.

[somber cairn]

[hearty crane]

You've already been answered by 2 people when you posted this in discord feedback???

[grizzled rose]

Has a search and/or compare ships function been discussed before?

[hearty crane]

I dont think compare is too useful (since most power is in skills) but it would be nice for gear without needing it equipped, especially for the Gear Lab. Tell me the benefits of crafting new item vs. old right there rather than the guesswork of now. Also definitely need coefficient stats made visible :/

On another node, now that PR2 PRs for coins is announced can you guys finally make the coin reset reset at RESET TIME, rather than 4 hours later? And/or add ! if there's unredeemed free prints (unless the ships are maxxed of course)

[scenic flower]

I want PR5 BPs in prototype shop
Coz there's nothing else I need from it.

[copper nest]

Another season already? Damn 💀

[hearty crane]

No, we just get PR3 catchup early... for some reason

[copper nest]

O that's great then, also sus and worrying

[grizzled rose]

I mean compare different versions of the same ship
It's really annoying to go from where you retire ships to the dock cause you don't know if you need a ship for limit break or retrofit (Yes there are filters, but not for SR or UR)

IDK might just be me

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for 36 ships plox

[cursive horizon]

I think if they'd given Hai Chi a different colour instead of red, perhaps green or purple, it would've helped distinguish her from Ping Hai better.

[copper nest]

no l2ds in rental 💀

[sinful cloud]

So we're having items for elite retros too now? Retros were already so often they need to be gated too, right?

[copper nest]

also en patch notes lacking again

[scenic flower]

what are they lacking?

[copper nest]

new dd class info for example

[crude pasture]

according to the EN tweets that part isn't part of the EN update for... some unknown reason??

at least it wasn't in the EN notes

just the protoshop update

[inner frost]

"Should we explain this new thing for our players?"
"Our what?"

On a serious note, please stop having such lacklustre patch notes for EN. I shouldn't have to read JP or CN patch notes to get all the info for every update

[crude pasture]

especially when we still have version differences (which most of the time only affect the rerun/archival schedule but apparently PR got put back on the desync list?)

[runic tartan]

Is prob EN patchnotes being EN patchnotes. We are almost caught up on archive schedule. Also quite a bit more info was not mentioned in notes which was mentioned above

[copper nest]

we'll see tomorrow if game evolves but backwards

[crude pasture]

that's what I woud assume too, but PR3 catchup mission, medal and proto shops and the Shipyard all would be affected and that seems too big of a thing to slip through EN notes

[runic tartan]

It's not smth I wouldn't expect from EN notes

[raw quest]

pr5 already, nice!!!

[fluid grotto]

meta lvl 16 when

[runic tartan]

16 feels weird, why not go for 20?

[fluid grotto]

sure, make them drop coggies👌

[runic tartan]

375 cog chips for killing your own and 75 for assist?

[somber cairn]

they are special retros so im not surprised.

[somber cairn]

en notes are always bad and leaving stuff out. we're on par with cn/jp, we're getting it too.

[somber cairn]

fully agree. EN is a joke

slow asf to post new stuff and omits a lot

[vast kelp]

Enable the function to purchase PR2 DR prints using gold please

And add coggies in maintenance mail please

[frigid yacht]

Seriously. They need to get that cognitive chips situation sorted out. The game is barely playable at the end game.

[somber cairn]

just do 2:1 13-1

but yea coggies for maint would be nice, yeet the coins and add coggies

[vast kelp]

No need to yeet coins. Just receive everything with no compromises

[somber cairn]

true but the coins are mostly pointless anyway so idc if theyre there or not

add cubes while we're at it

more URs = more need for cube

and arrays too

[fluid grotto]

yeah do that with lvl 100 ships

[somber cairn]

why would you

[crude pasture]

what's the point of that?

[somber cairn]

cursed endgame player oil efficient cog farming

ask #gameplay-help for more deets

[fluid grotto]

using maxed ships to farm

[somber cairn]

why need exp if you have no coggies

[fluid grotto]

yeah lets sacrificed 4k oil worth of exp for 50 coggies

[somber cairn]

[olive comet]

yo were the 300 PR3 prints and 150 DR3 prints forgotten from the patchnotes or is that intentional?

I cant see to find them in the patchnotes

[somber cairn]

trusting EN patchnotes lol

[olive comet]

so they were just forgotten?

[fluid grotto]

maybe we're not getting them

[somber cairn]

we are

just dont trust EN patchnotes, they will omit shit and be slow and lazy

[fluid grotto]

very hard arbiter for coggies

[somber cairn]

normal arbiter give coggies too

[wooden swallow]

Easier mode arbiter for the most coggies

[hearty crane]

No, I would definitely agree with that... I never used auto-retire cause it wasn't optimised for retrofits (and suggested they added an option to keep an extra ship aside for that), and often after constructing ships that rarely drop need to visit the dockyard to see if they're MLB already before I can scrap them (or not) so an update to more easily tell that would be welcome.

[hearty crane]

Seeing they did list the PR3 Prototype I assume we get it all the notes are just lacking, it doesn't really make much sense we get it only partially... we'll see soon enough I suppose, I would be very surprised if we don't.

[hearty crane]

As someone who figures coggies are QF 2.0, and oil is blocking my coins... the last thing I want is the coins removed.

[crude pasture]

that was me until like half a year ago, and then I started burning through them like crazy

[somber cairn]

wait why, coins are easy

ideally keep coins and add coggies ofc

[crude pasture]

I have already burned off half my coggies and am now at just 23k remaining

[somber cairn]

how is oil blocking your coins anyway

use oil to get more coins

[crude pasture]

but prior to oil cap I had severe coin issues, which more or less got dealt with, and replaced with a gun (and aux, but that was already the case) plate shortage

[crude pasture]

I assume they can't claim maint rewards because of oil hardcap?

[somber cairn]

then play more lol, and use oil to get coins

[pseudo turret]

Pls add them allready

[pure burrow]

Please make this useful it’s been over a year since siren op release

[copper nest]

ye 💀

[sinful cloud]

457mm existing

[velvet adder]

pls make Isuzu less rare. not really a request but a complaint that a blue ship can be harder to obtain than the gold foxes from 3-4

30k oil down the drain so far

[somber cairn]

i heard someone took nearly 1.5 years with 10 runs/day to get inazuma from 8-1. good luck lol. they really should boost the rate a little.

[velvet adder]

blows my mind. if the game rng is going to be shit it should at least be that way only in the oil capped stages

[hearty thunder]

Skip ticket 😈

[lilac shard]

For events that are over, please allow us to use coins or gems to unlock the memories instead of waiting for a long time for rerun.

Sure wish I could unlock the one missing entry from the HoloLive collab.

[cursive horizon]

Saw the new loading screens, again asking for a loading screen selector. It can't possibly be an impossible task, we've been asking for it for years now.

[regal elm]

I can't speak for Manjuu, but pretty sure it's unfair for artists having the opportunity to add their arts to the game's loading screen if that were to be implemented

[agile gazelle]

I need NCL only :/

[bold viper]

Can dev permanently add the mini-game into azur lane? I found the mini-game is quite good to play for killing time

[nova girder]

I presume it's about NSFW loading screens and being able to at the very least toggle them off wouldn't really take anything away.

[vast kelp]

What they meant was it takes away the opportunity for artists to have their fanart showcased through the game

[regal elm]

ye, I get the NSFW argument, you wanted a safer loading screen so it's more acceptable if you're playing the game in public. But, it also takes away the opportunity for artists to have their arts added in the game, therefore gaining some exposure, just because of it being what it is

[ornate basin]

theres no need to try to stop them from making their feedback

for something like wanting to choose their loading screens, does not need discussion

[regal elm]

not trying to shoot down anyone's feedback

[vast kelp]

They could rectify this by having two versions of the same loading screen (sfw/nsfw) and have a toggle for that. It could work but how will they un-nsfw sexy poses

[ornate basin]

both have already been suggested

[viscid moon]

Why aren't we getting the PR2 and 3 catchup stuff? We were fully synched with JP before now.

[nova girder]

Take the patch notes with a grain of salt, since they note the guns being added to protoshop. Probably just sloppy patch notes as usual.

[viscid moon]

oh yeah, Drake gun in proto core shop is there

[copper nest]

Best idea would be selector so everyone can judge for themselves, less issues this way 🙂

[vast kelp]

Or how about use the comics in game as loading screens? They're much more sfw

[copper nest]

What about just a selector, simple, easy, everyone can choose what they like, sure include comics in selection but there are normal loading screens too 😃

[vast kelp]

Whatever I really don't care about the loading screens. I just want coggies 🏃

[hearty crane]

If the arists exposure is the issue, a selector could also offer the old loading screens, making them last much longer than usual (although there have been times we got the same for 4 months... I just want different loadscreens for these instances o_o)

[copper nest]

why no l2ds for rental 💀 or better, why can't we get all new skins to choose from, 2 tickets can stay

[nova girder]

Why are DR exempt from purchasing prints with money? This is just so dumb considering URs. Heck, could just have something like 30 a week max or whatever. Now I just - apparently - will never max out Azuma / FdG, Azuma doubly so with the obscene amounts of extra for FS5

[copper nest]

+1, I was hoping I could finally get fdg to max without having to shift focus from new content so I'm not even more behind but guess not 🤣

😐 these loading screens tho

[fierce ember]

i understand why UR retrofits have to do this(as they are a major powerups),but why not we also have to lock elite->SR retrofits behind an item?this is a pointless roadblock to new mechanics that are implemented and i hope its first and last time for this

also,another reminder we got absolutely too lewd load screen without a selector AGAIN,i do not care about the agrument of "i play in public so i dont want those appear" but i simply do not want to see them myself,majority of those loading screen appear to be tasteless lewds for the sake of it, i absolutely despise that way of doing it,specially with the characters i like and when i think it doesnt fit them at all (like amagi shinano kii suzu one,4/5 is an absolute miss)
and in comparison to skins that you at least have the option to not buy,these are force included

[copper nest]

you send feedback to belfast it's denied because "already sent" (and rightfully so) but it was sent ages ago and is forgotten by whoever manages feedback to decision makers/devs 🤣 can we refresh/bump it somehow feedback mods <@&524220645349916701> <@&484370746634928149> (edited pings don't ping, chill), inform them that loading screen selector (selector, not arbitrary on off switch decided for me) is frequently asked about? this and many other suggestions that were proposed years ago are stuck in void

@fierce ember yep yep same, don't care about random people in public, I care about me 😞 and I don't want on/off filter where someone decided what's good and what's not, I know what I want to see myself best 😎 (same with skin rentals, I know what I want to rent to buy later if I like it instead of some 3 uninteresting choices that I will never rent anyway and I won't buy skins blindly, also won't bother checking online, watching videos of them, etc.)

[copper bolt]

They're probably still figuring out a system for them. The PRs are the 'same' so it's just repeat what happened before.

[copper nest]

fair, maybe, would be neat if they communicated something "yeah yeah drs are coming but later don't worry"
but what's there to figure out to be honest?

[nova girder]

I mean they could start with -something- rather than leaving one to question if DRs really are going to be made artificially scarce forever

5 per day, 1k a print. Whatever, anything works.

[fluid grotto]

more coggies reward

[lean vector]

charybdis skin rental pls

[sinful cloud]

Figuring out a system
Is it really that hard to increase the number of the PRs and put it on DRs?

[somber cairn]

bc honestly the ddgs look like UR power level so i do think this is a one time only thing

cn prelim says they could be competitive with rainbow backlines, and are just behind shima in vg when paired

ofc this is paper dps only so we dont know for sure but if theyre truly that powerful imo it makes sense

[fierce ember]

bluntly forcing the power of a new ship type up so at least someone would use them (monitors,AR and munition ships exist btw) and then roadblocking it isnt a way majority of players want it

[somber cairn]

then complain about UR retro too

i think the item thing is dumb but at least it thematically fits if the ddgs are UR level

[fluid grotto]

auto retry for raid event till run out of ticket

[copper nest]

oh yeah pls

or input number of tries if you want to farm points on hard.. I mean difficult

[random jungle]

can we get gems a back cause i accident to buy a skin

i mean exchange to a gems again

[copper nest]

not really, you can try with customer support but you will be most likely almost surely, for 99,9% denied 😓

[random jungle]

so cs in game or here

shiet i dont want buy a skin but accident

[copper nest]

[e-mail]

[random jungle]

thank you i hope accepted

[wheat yoke]

Thank for updating the Op Si shop restock notifications icon
I actually like that they're boxes now

[hearty crane]

Do they dissapear on view now... or are they still 100% useless to notify you off restock (since they are never not there)?

[wheat yoke]

It's not a "new" word now, it's just an image of boxes. Seems like it just informs you if the shop has items left.

[copper nest]

not disappear, just smaller

we'll see next reset if they implemented something for reset

[wheat yoke]

Here's a port where everything is sold out basically.

[fierce ember]

there still is the issue where you simply dont want to buy out everything but seeing that was changed is a good sign

[random jungle]

are cs feedback sometime long to wait reply ????

hope is fast as possible

[wheat yoke]

They should reply in a few hrs at worst.
#tech-support is the channel that will best help you with the specifics

[grizzled rose]

I cant zoom the akagi l2d skin

The non l2d zooms fine but the l2d doesnt reflect that

[copper bolt]

Wait at least 24 hrs

[hearty crane]

Yeah, now we just need to wait for them to implement the thing they said they implemented "new" for... informing you of the shop reset

[random jungle]

damn 24 hours

hope is not long

cause i send through cs gmail and in game help

[timber grotto]

Guess that's why it's not rentable 🤣

@grizzled rose send it as bug report, type !submit in #bot-spam

Make sure dms are enabled

[cursive horizon]

I would still like to know where Chen Hai's rigging is.

[ionic zinc]

Small suggestion; I’d like it if I could save more than 4 custom dorm layouts.

[crude pasture]

hmm, I would appreciate it if "auto call subs" was separate between the various raid stages and normal maps

because I didn't realise that and accidentally had subs on for one and a half archive runs

[velvet adder]

this skin aint available at all yamashiro swimsuit etc got event reruns but this wasnt an event and its literally not available in any way

its time to add this to a shop so it isnt the rarest skin in game

[hearty crane]

It was actually part of the original run of Divergent Chessboard (and only that run, gone with the rerun). CN has it in the core shop, wish we'd get it too. It's been years.

[eternal bronze]

why i can't buy DR prints when i will be able to bring FDG to dev 30 seriously?

[cursive horizon]

Which is a shame, since those are the only ones I need (Azuma).

DR prints should never have cost 120 points in the ship, not when regular ones are only 30 points. So we're expected to pay 4x as much for prints we need practically 2x the amount of?

[velvet adder]

i agree they should just move the "buy dev level" up through the pr when another is added

theyre 2-3 year old content now

[eternal bronze]

i was hoping i would be able to buy her prints since PR4 came honestly very dissapointed

[violet galleon]

I wonder, why is it that the PR2 DR ships don’t have the coin option like the normal PR ships?

[noble python]

the devs decided it should be that way

[unreal girder]

do the devs read this stuff?

[humble lance]

this game needs some endgame content.. like challenge mode, but for guild.. something for veteran can do besides doing perpetual story stages, and make the guild features more usefull and ppl interest joining a guild.. i mean yeah, thats gonna boost some comunity activity inside the game

[void schooner]

For example?

[humble lance]

maybe makes some monthly guild boss with unlimited hp(seperated with normal guildboss) and once a month the total damages were calculated to the scoreboard, and give some common rewards to the contributed guild like purple/gold plates(?), gearlab resource(?), and some coin(?).. wont ask more for the reward cuz dev alrd generous with it.. but i just want some fights

[somber cairn]

i mean w14 and hard arbiter are fairly decent endgame contents imo but sure we could get more.

[humble lance]

i mean this specifically for guilds, to gives more interaction between the comunity(inside the guild). when there is a leaderboards, there is always a competition

[somber cairn]

eh itll just be everyone using the same meta ships, not really a competition imo

[humble lance]

well, that will depends on the roster tho, this will engage every single person in the guild to get into the leaderboard

and probably forcing each roster to keep active in the game(still not sure about this one)

[somber cairn]

ehh i dunno about that.

not many ppl actually care about leaderboards

[humble lance]

yeah thats just my opinion. at least there is something to do, better than doing a perpetual grinding everyday

[fluid grotto]

put coggies in leaderboard and see if people still dont care

[fluid grotto]

yeah have same idea about something like current bristol raid but it's guild based, so pretty much time attack between guilds

[humble lance]

yeah thats what i meant, it could be time attack(for beatable boss) or cumulative damage (if it has unlimited hp)

[fluid grotto]

and it wont be too much on dev part cus it's only recycling an already existed system

[humble lance]

wonder if someone would deny cogs and gear materials

[fluid grotto]

only people who dont like doing more stuff in game

[somber cairn]

did u guys think why leaderboard has no rewards atm

[humble lance]

but still some ppl grind to the top tho even with no rewards

[fluid grotto]

thats why it needs to be change

[hearty crane]

It needs to change cause its working as intended?

[fluid grotto]

there you go

[sharp obsidian]

this game is my favorite mobile game and i would give it infitity/10. A friend of mine showed me this game and im happy that he did cause now im playing this game atleast an hour every day. Thank you for this amazing game. 👍 i could make a 200 word message of how good this game is if i wanted to

[hearty crane]

Well it seems the "new" in OPS does now get removed upon viewing the shop, while keeping a different icon for items left. Good job!

[cursive horizon]

That's great to hear! I'd cleaned out the shops already, so I would've had to wait until Feb to find out.

[burnt perch]

the reset for coin upgrade for PR1 and PR2 should be done with AL's daily reset instead of whatever the hell it does right now

[copper bolt]

it does mention ingame that it happens 4hrs after daily reset

[burnt perch]

Hmmm, that's so weird lol, just do it alongside the daily reset

[velvet adder]

change Nagato’s build timer so i’m not constantly disappointed by countless tennessees and californias

[shell mirage]

small suggestion: Refund for unwanted skins that have been bought

[raw quest]

[scenic flower]

Yeah. I just bought the Gear Skin Box (2022), and they gave me the most terrible skin. Again. 4'th time per a row. I hate you, manjuu! AT least give us the possibility to ban at least one skin we hate the most.

[cursive horizon]

If most of them aren't what I'm interested in, or the odds of what I'm after is too low, I just pass up on it. Not worth the risk to waste that kinda money and not get what you're after.

[scenic flower]

Yes, but even if I like 8 skins out of 10, I'll get exactly one of those 2. I don't believe in bad luck, so it irritates me even more.

[inner frost]

It would be great if pressing "Retry" on the event fights would restart the battle instead of sending me back to the fleet overview first

[velvet adder]

This tbh

[copper nest]

Minigame is cool but there needs to be some sort of air attack next time because you either don't jump over obstacle and lose health or you land on enemy and lose health, no winning

[marble bay]

Love Small Detail added to Azur Lane by Dev

[cursive horizon]

Agree on both the minigame lack of air-move, and that Retry should take us right back into the fight. However, I'd add that on the progress screen when Retry or OK are available, show us how many turns we have left out of the 15, perhaps.

[somber cairn]

[hearty crane]

Just rocketeer them from afar?

Also all to the yes to show the remaing rated-up battles on the retry button.

[copper nest]

you don't always get it 😐

[scenic flower]

Devs, if you can't fix the notifications, just say that loud!

[hearty crane]

Which notifications?

[somber cairn]

[scenic flower]

The event ones, at least.

[hearty crane]

Are any broken?

[scenic flower]

They appear when there's no rewards to grab.

Also, the OPSI shops notifications must gone after we enter them.

[somber cairn]

yeah manjuu resort occasionally has "!" when no red pocket

[crude pasture]

there's a [1] on my Events button and a [!] on the Bristol raid one, despite me having done all 15 fights of each difficulty and 5 EX of both days

or at least, there is when I relog

[hearty crane]

Server reached 75%, new story available? Or progression unlocked another rank of personal rewards? (So yeah, not broken)

[fluid grotto]

let us farm EX without loot rate up

[copper nest]

they are tho, they fixed it, "new" appears only after reset, once you checked it out "new" is gone, only boxes stay if shop has any stock, but it's no big deal lmao (also useful for some)

[somber cairn]

yea i like how it is now

[scenic flower]

I thought they just changed the "new" icon to this box. Well, it's okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayish then, but still not good for me.

[fluid grotto]

sell coggies on port

[somber cairn]

gib coggies in red envelope

[hearty crane]

Akashi happilly exchanges your envelope gems for coggies if you prefer those

[fluid grotto]

make coggies in akashi shop unlimited

[mystic sage]

make agir skin thanks

[somber cairn]

replace coins with coggies, rather.

[vast kelp]

enable us to scrap meta ships for coggies

[velvet adder]

make fleets auto repair in friendly docks in opsi when you enter them

its so cheap theres no reason to even have the feature

[somber cairn]

only if autorepair is free. i minmax vouchers by only using port heal for toll of war cleansing

but i still need to visit ports to buy shit

actually just make port heals free and automatic, no reason to cost coins

[primal yew]

The only downside about the game right now is 4k special core limited per month

[fluid grotto]

sell coggies in protocore shop

[hearty crane]

Do landmarks do something? The ? mentions rewards, but it gives nothing except I suppose the ship if you placed all after 7 days. Though since that and the regular rewards are listed seperately it does make it seem placing them should give you atleast something right then...???

[somber cairn]

idk im confused by it too yeah

[scenic flower]

Could you please make the torp barrages in this game not entirely useless? Even Shima's barrage in full TRP build just SUX. It's here for fun, no damage included. Moreover, the torp fleets is an alternate mechanic, but it's just a meme at the moment. WTF? You can't even use them in PvE on auto, coz they're wasting all their preloaded torps in the first wave.

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for 36 ships plox

[solid python]

Have auto search for mobbing fleets prioritize clearing out mass-produced fleets holding chokepoints

[slate monolith]

Well since we keep changing the music for the port, I think it's time to have the option of the music to change when you have a certain faction member as your secretary now.

[slate monolith]

I'm thinking the landmarks are a way of getting the second girl from that two for one event

[hearty crane]

Yes, but it also lists in the ? each individual placement gives "rewards"... it just doesn't ingame so I wonder whats up (before listing it as potential bug)

[somber cairn]

shimas barrages are nutty

[scenic flower]

They only looks nutty, but they're harmless

[somber cairn]

lolno

torps are plenty strong maybe ur just not using them right

[wheat yoke]

I can agree with Ari. I've used Shimakaze in the guild boss and those torps hurts atrociously bad even on auto.
Maybe that's because that Shima is 120 with the rainbow Quad but the barrage torps hurt pretty darn good in that boss particulary.

[fluid grotto]

yeah pls buff shima, i want an even more broken ship

[wheat yoke]

Just make a better UR

[hearty crane]

Add the "Adjust" tab to the raid UI

[somber cairn]

sadly ddgs arent as good as shima

please buff the ddgs manjuu!

[scenic flower]

Please, buff the Chinese ships! No metas in this event.

[copper nest]

Wait for battlepass, there will be new meta 🙂

[slate monolith]

[scenic flower]

Dat META is not even close to meta

I'd like them to stop spamming this kind of pathetic ships.

[somber cairn]

id like all cn ship buff yes

[eternal bronze]

The DDGs are already better than most of the DD line even beating up Kitakaze they don't need a buff neither Shimakaze does

[somber cairn]

yea i was memeing the other guy

the other cn ships really do need buffs tho, especially chen hai

[eternal bronze]

I know just explaining things

Chen hai needs a better healing imo

Instead of triggering it only when its out of ammo for BBs they could make it for vanguard and triggering every airstrikes

Also nerf her smoke in order to implement it

One of the strangest things too is how they made a seaplane tender into a CV

It was already expected she would be pretty bad

So not surprised

[somber cairn]

chen hai is the shitty cvl, the healer is one of the CLs i forgot which

[formal oyster]

Minigames keep ramping up in quality, especially visually. Props to the people in charge of them, the new Fu Shun's is great

[iron pumice]

i'm starting to feel like 5 secretary slots just aren't enough, there are so many beautiful ships and skins, wish i could display more of them

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for 36 ships plox

[formal oyster]

More cognitive chips

[timber grotto]

Give option to delete some opsi missions to make room for new ones.

I’m not going to do a mission for like 2 blue crafting mats.

[copper bolt]

Isn't this easily avoidable by just not accepting it in the first place?

[timber grotto]

It clogs up the not accepted quests inbox and no new ones pop up

[copper bolt]

Fair enough but doesn't it work like b4 where it replaces old ones after a couple of days?

Or have you had the same mission since the patch?

[timber grotto]

Not for me under this new system

[copper bolt]

Fair enough

[cursive horizon]

I don't even pay attention to the rewards most of the time, I largely do them for the META coordinates and as an excuse to go back to a location. Of course, this wouldn't be an issue if we could combine lower-ranked materials into higher-grade ones.

[runic tartan]

Seems to not be the case, I had noticed same missions day after day until I cleared most of them and then it started giving new missions

[proud pilot]

I don't understand though. In Joint Battle, the percentage was at 58.61% the last time I checked, but now it is dropped to 42.24%.
(and now it's 42.22%)

Also look at the dates, there is something a bit off.

[fluid grotto]

seems about right

[proud pilot]

I think this is the wrong channel to send this (it's supposed to be in #bug-reports)

[fierce ember]

you do realise they are ALL elites?those cant get in to meta with a very few exceptions ,outside of two retrofits who at least on paper seem pretty good who for reasons beyond me got timegated
we just need a few good/decent SR ships imo

[scenic flower]

I just think, that we're pretty limited in Chinese ships in general, so it would be a shame not to get any useful ones asap.

[fierce ember]

imo CN ships at the state they are on pretty much OK in terms of their power-to-rarity,maybe a minor stat buff so they wont be AS lower end
buuut you kinda cant make them meta outside of absurd major buffs or just a good retrofit,while ships like chen hai cannot be saved even with that,the ning/ping hai tho could get a major buff in particular bcs honestly they are probably one of the worst SR retrofits
all it comes down to is release a few mid-higher-end SR ships with current ships being purely collection

[copper bolt]

ying swei's spring travels mini event is nice, I've gotten 200+ cog chips from it so far

[slate monolith]

I think that was already taken care of in AL Art already

[velvet adder]

why does retry take just as long as it takes to click continue and then click hard again

if i click retry just skip the whole loadout thing and go straight back into a battle

[normal vine]

UR Georgios Averof

[normal vine]

it goes from 100 down to 0

she starts with 100% health and over time we shoot her down to 0%

[somber cairn]

just give ning and ping hai mgm+1 and ability to equip dd guns and boom theyre great

[high pond]

Just do x thing to x ship and it's great

[fluid grotto]

give nj barrage to all bbs

[somber cairn]

honestly even just mgm would make them good

i think an issue with the game is how strong mgm is

basically a 1 mgm cl with 400 fp is equal dps to a 2 mgm cl with 150 fp which is kinda wack

[proud pilot]

Oh ok, so... the bar at the bottom is her HP bar.

I thought it's about Contribution Points.

[normal vine]

eh? Retry > Battle : 2 clicks
Confirm > Hard > OK > Battle : 4 clicks

[velvet adder]

clicking retry usually lags a bit but confirm doesnt

its like it clicks confirm then hard in the background

also id rather the game tell me i DIDNT have a ticket to use rather than i did

and just auto use tickets to enter

having to go back to the menu to see how many tickets i have kinda sucks (since battle will just start anyway regardless even if you dont have any tickets)

[scenic flower]

👆🏽

[copper nest]

😐

[scenic flower]

Yeah, that's a common scenario

We need uncle Scrooge's walking stick

[velvet adder]

2nd hedgehog pls, or add to gear lab

[cursive horizon]

I was told a while back we didn't need a second Hedgehog, but perhaps I was right to suggest it.

[velvet adder]

everyone knows anti sub warfare is garbage

normal depth charges are useless

[slate monolith]

Having more than one hedgehog would be nice, since subs are in w14

[velvet adder]

sonic the hedgehog collab plox

[primal topaz]

Give slots for new meta ships cuz they gonna pile up n u cant bloody get rid of them

[copper bolt]

there's already a trello card for that

#collected-feedback message

[plush geyser]

Love the new loading screens, though juustagram options are still rather stale and deadpan. Can we get lewd response options in addition to the normal ones, more choices never hurt 😀. We get lewd touch options with our secretary so I don't see why we can't get fun flirting options in juustagram too!

[undone swift]

Rape jokes✅
Covered nips ❌
This is the rule right?

[slate monolith]

[somber cairn]

...what

oh nvm, it's rynn

[cursive horizon]

I'm cool with us having more dialogue options for Juustagram so long as the non-lewd options are available.

[fierce ember]

if we actually got normal options,which in some if not most cases we arent

[keen jetty]

More dorm floor expandable pls (want to do each nation dorm)

Pretty common for Rikka user

[velvet adder]

[split gyro]

Missiles using main gun parts to upgrade was a good chuckle. Just why though? I thought I had some kind of hallucination when I saw main gun parts being used

[velvet adder]

we already have thousands of extra torp parts lying around they should have made them torp/rockets

especially if they both occupy the same slot

[copper nest]

Already upgraded it, when refund after change

[velvet adder]

doesnt even make sense when it literally gives torp stat

[eternal bronze]

double dildo DDG?

[fluid grotto]

missile uses gun powder it's all makes sense

[copper nest]

Should use gunpowder material from opsi then 💀

[velvet adder]

a use

also can we add missiles to gear lab

and ur main guns and AA

mythical gear lab update

also you can add mythical rarity gear and ships, you can have that one on the house

[somber cairn]

copium

[eternal bronze]

this might be a unpopular opinion but

delete DDGs from the game, they are a complete abomination to current ship meta

i don't want to see my Z vanguard to get irrelevant over ships that were never popular to begin with

[velvet adder]

had to make cn ships viable somehow or else theyd get reported into being removed from the game

[eternal bronze]

make them viable? thats ok, they are just op as some top tier DDs rn

and they are most likely powercreeping a bunch of BBs aswell, i don't doubt they reaching top tier since they have preload and barrage for backline

also overloaded bonuses stats to make sure they survive on it aswell

[fluid grotto]

thats alot of speculation

[eternal bronze]

not speculation

its all on datamine

those are the stats they receive when placed at backline

also some things for vanguard

[fluid grotto]

paper calculation doesnt guarantee anything

[eternal bronze]

comparing to other existing ships it does

[fluid grotto]

gotta see them in practice firstr

[eternal bronze]

their only weakness are planes and possibly suicide boats

planes which can be countered by vanguard AA

but the thing that got me over the most is how they have the potential to be the best gun DDs of the game

giving their buff skills

also this missile they got can only deal damage against light and medium armor but nothing stop them from adding more of them to the game over time

[somber cairn]

its not gonna be made irrelevant considering the z vg is still viable by that logic shima and poi made them irrelevant already

[eternal bronze]

Shima ain't a gun boat tho

[somber cairn]

yeah and 3.6k hp and -20% taken is still paper vs crash dmg, and relies entirely on eva to survive vs shelling.

[somber cairn]

poi, kita, suzu then

nothing wrong with making ships powerful as long as weaker ships can still clear content

[eternal bronze]

if only

[somber cairn]

wdym if only

the only content i can think of that may gate ships is hard arbiter, which doesnt reward that much anyway

[velvet adder]

weaker ships can clear content, the great dd buff of 2021 (50% more aux stats )

[somber cairn]

30%*

[velvet adder]

not even 50

i still think it should have been 200 at least

[somber cairn]

bruh

nah 30 is fine, maybe 50 if u insist, what i wanted is for all dds to get all 3 buffs tho.

[velvet adder]

all the really weak dd's got the 30% when they really needed the buffs the most

[somber cairn]

200 lol 1500 hp toolkits thats a bit much fam, we'll be having 5k hp dds running around

[velvet adder]

is a 5k hp bulldog really a threat

[somber cairn]

idk it sounds a bit overbalanced

[velvet adder]

it would at least allow them to use 1 toolkit and 1 damage aux

[somber cairn]

or how about +600 torp from 2x oxytorps.

[velvet adder]

i mean i doubt theyd be as strong as ships like shima with 3 skills anyway

[somber cairn]

50 wouldve been fine tho, i agree. 200 is too much.

still, apart from wanting all dds to get all 3 buffs, i think its fine

[velvet adder]

i mean the 30 just isnt enough for anyone really

might as well have just delayed their AOA buffs etc instead of bandaiding with 30%, now its unlikely those dd's will get anything else ever

[somber cairn]

honestly aux stat boost wasnt a good idea in the first place imo, too hard to balance so it's strong, not op, and not weak

30 is too weak, 200 is too strong...even 100 im not sure, it's just a weird bandaid

should just give aoa and torp spread to everyone, and a minor aux buff ig

[eternal bronze]

you know whats funnier

giving torpedo buff for Z2 when shes a barrager

[somber cairn]

yeah

shouldve just given aoa buff to all dds and also buffed the raw dmg of the weaker dds aoas

i like aoa spamming

[ornate basin]

[fluid grotto]

pls make dd hit as hard as bb

[somber cairn]

ddgs will

[velvet adder]

i mean when you look at shima already highest damage

[barren roost]

C - Consistency. B - Balancing. F - Fun. Oh wai...
And we obviously keep hoarding torp plates just to raise those numbers for viewing pleasure.

Great gameplay decisions as ever, but here, have an even better idea: use RNG to set which equipment requires which parts. Because RNG is fun! More RNG - more better!

[copper nest]

And timegate, one upgrade per 24h I think....

🙏 pls optimize current event

[velvet adder]

wtf is that just looks like a massive bug

needs to be brought up as a bug for sure

[hearty crane]

I remember when paper speculators said NJ was bad. And Shimakaze. And Ulrich von Hutten. And Perseus.

[copper nest]

and they're good, so if paper says rockets are broken then they must be ultra broken 🤨

[crude pasture]

lol

[hearty crane]

Trying to think when it was said something was good, then sucked... but then I don't recall them ever saying that, its always doom and gloom and things being bad... so who knows.

[eternal bronze]

actually i mentioned several times that NJ and Shima were going to broken i think you are confunding speculations from users that didn't use any data in their hands

[somber cairn]

did any one of those ppl know what they were talking about bc everyone i know who knows their shit knew uvh was gonna be great

[somber cairn]

CN paper calcs for pamiat ig...altho it was more instead of broken, she was just good. iirc

but anyway it doesnt take a genius to see that 172 fp + self fp buffs with 100%x2 dd gun alone is very likely to be strong, even ignoring missiles

[eternal bronze]

also about the missiles

there are some facts around them

[ornate basin]

I know we appreciate discussions, but it seem like we have this conversation almost every single day, which does not need to happen and we discourage

[somber cairn]

oh yeah and +16% from s4g, their retro aoa is better than base and base was already good, and further buffed by s4g, and they get a second barrage skill that armorbreaks or boosts torp dmg taken

[ornate basin]

from the same users as well

[eternal bronze]

as for vanguard they will lock on the lowest HP enemy (can't miss and can't hit enemies that are infront they will sorta of like "overpen" them and give little damage prob gonna focus humanoids targets too)

[ornate basin]

for something as theoretical and personal as how you feel about ship balances, I think most of these discussions could be had outside of this channel, you can sum up your thoughts, but theres no need for a back and forth especially every single day trying to discuss with someone disagreeing with you

[eternal bronze]

sorry just wanted to send my unpopular opinion

[fluid grotto]

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for 36 ships plox

[somber cairn]

please add w13 and w14 hm

[torpid slate]

You guys pulled the Fair Winds pass early... Money was tight with the holidays, I went to buy it with 5 minutes left, and it kept giving me an error code 😭

[hearty crane]

It's available till 1 hour before the "event" ends...

[torpid slate]

I wish there was a better indicator for that =\ It's probably somewhere in the fine print there, but wish there was like, just a straight timeframe shown as well in the seasonal pass screen

[fierce ember]

can we have gear locking be actually player-controlled?
this feature is a thing,its in the game,feature is used by it but for some reason you cant lock equipment on your own with some honestly weird decision on which equipment is locked and which isnt
like VC armor being special but you can still accidentally scrap it while FBA planes arent,but they cannot be seen in the scrap menu
plus besides fixing that it just gonna help with sorting out what you want to keep and what to scrap

[mortal haven]

Can we have option to hide loading screen?
The loading screen is too.. umm.. vulgarism.. when i play the game in public/while working. I can't playing at home either because i go home pretty late..

[scenic flower]

Could you please show the total amount of consumable oil before the battle, including the subs? If autocall is enabled, summ it up. If not, then "68 (+21)" kind of numbers would be nice to see (where +21 is the oil for subs).

[marble bay]

guys i think the gold AUX have wrong text, its said "dmg dealt by both side ships by 15%"

its should be "dmg taken by both side ships by 15%" right?

or it is just debuff for solo Flagship 🤔

[inner frost]

I'm 99% sure that it affects all ships (including enemies), so the text is accurate. (If I'm wrong someone correct me)

[somber cairn]

it only works in pvp, and decreases all ships' dmg dealt by 15%. it's accurate.

[fleet harness]

Where consistency?

[cursive horizon]

Kinda looks like your normal portrait to chibi conversion to me, really.

[cursive horizon]

Oh! My mistake!

[fleet harness]

Difference in armor

I was preparing for another light and got bamboozled

[hearty crane]

It actually lists armor type on arbiters and abyssals now, so you can fully prepare for it...

[fleet harness]

Well I checked way before new arbiter was due

[marble bay]

i see, nice to know

[shy rose]

Okay. An idea to some how step on floating loafs of bread again! Except those loafs of bread has taken human form and now has this funny sounding "hidden" buff unless their detection gauge is full. Well I'd like to introduce spotted planes! These planes have about the same HP as all others and are usually in squadrons of- oh wait 1 plane isn't exactly a squadron now is it? But yes these planes fly alone and they serve one purpose; to spot! No guns no torps no bombs, just go over there and get a good look at them plane infested lovers as a message that is delivered by a loud boom "you are about to get blasted by big guns." These planes are launched every 30-55 seconds and 25 second after your vanguard fleet has sunk

[somber cairn]

?

[smoky tusk]

Can you please fix it so that Missiles take Aux gold plates instead of gun plates? As it has been indicated before, on CN and JP they use Aux instead. Interesting bug, but for consistency, it should be fixed. Thank you.

[nova girder]

Or just torp instead... So one could actually utilise those plates

[fierce ember]

imo they should use torp parts
they use torp scaling,give torp stat,it is a WEAPON and balance-wise we already have way bigger consumption of aux parts then any other part
anyhow if we ignore torp between mg and aux plates MG makes more sense

[hearty crane]

Yes, torp for both... (and if nice, do that for the rainbow dildo too ;))

[fierce ember]

that is debatable since the slot it uses,but balance wise hell yeah we barely have any use for torps

[fluid grotto]

if its between main gun or aux id prefer aux too

[fierce ember]

if we want even more unnecessary aux pool bloat then fix the rates to match it

[somber cairn]

yes torp for both pls

if u wanna change the plate too, id also appreciate a refund partial or otherwise, of gun plates used

[hearty crane]

I would just +10 them all with gun, just incase they might change to aux in the future...

[somber cairn]

i already +11 so i hope they refund gun plane

[velvet adder]

yeah they should change them to torp and just refund

theyre not guns and they not aux

torp plates should be renamed to torp/rockets

and i hope more rocket dd retros will come in the future to save the dd class

[fierce ember]

not just dds,its overall a good way to bring back obsolute vanguard ships for a long periods of time as well as keeping them unique
you can slap a missile on a cruiser and call it missile cruiser

[final jewel]

can we have a way to use base skin EX voicelines on skins? it makes me actively not wanna buy skins

[hearty crane]

To go along the 2 existing (yet unused) cruiser classes? I do wondee if we'll ever see aviation cruisers, they made that shiptype for a reason no?

[fluid grotto]

nuclear battleship

[velvet adder]

since we have ballistic missiles i guess planes will be equipped with them soon and then maybe nuclear tipped torpedos

[vocal verge]

Could you make the Collect button on the Cruise Mission any smaller?

[scenic flower]

🤣

Fear your desires

The buttons in the guild OPS are too big as well.

[runic tartan]

Cog chips in merit shop pls, merit shop doesn't have much to go for rn

[velvet adder]

add speedup to normal chapters

if u can 2x opsi and 2x event maps then i cant see why we cant get 2x ship speed on normal chapters

[iron pumice]

in prinz eugen's race queen skin the special touch seems really off since the lines were added. because, when i tap special touch, she says her line, but after the line is over she keeps mumbling something with no voice. its hella annoying lol

[eternal bronze]

rail guns also to make them not obsolete anymore

make it like Odin thunder but in an bolt form that can pen enemies like vanguard AP guns

[fluid grotto]

why missile main dd not op, i was told its gonna be op, pls buff

[eternal bronze]

jokes aside they are pretty strong in backline waiting for Fu Shun retro for crit fest

[fluid grotto]

sacking bb or cv for 1 load of missile is not good enough, buff pl0x

[runic tartan]

Define strong

[fluid grotto]

theyre pretty much champagne without reload reduction kek

[runic tartan]

That's a weird definition of OP, guess Champy is too broken and needs a nerf then

[fluid grotto]

one way to make them viable probably by giving them enough main gun range to support vanguard

else they better off as vang

[runic tartan]

Would be realistic too comparing it to more modern DD guns

Rn their current performance in backline just makes it that they are taking up a slot that can go to someone much better, while their vanguard performance is outstanding, guessing mainfleet was just so ROC can run full fleet or to allow them to farm xp faster or smth

[fluid grotto]

yeah seems like the whole reason for them to put as main unit is as chen hai skill enabler

[somber cairn]

main fleet has its uses imo, its pretty strong, but its not top tier so generally not the best idea. still, preloads can be limited for newer players, and they offer a viable alternative

[hearty crane]

Newbies should just wait for Aurora Noctis rerun then

[somber cairn]

they said "pretty strong" how did that translate to "overpowered" for you

oh nvm i ENed ruu said op

either way i think main fleet variant is fine

[fluid grotto]

was told here yesterday theyre gonna powercrept bunch of bb

[somber cairn]

uhhh they function as preload bbs, AN has preload cvl...

different function actually and both are useful

[fluid grotto]

preload with singular mount

[hearty crane]

You just said preload

[somber cairn]

yeah bc having 3 preloads available is pog for farming

for anyone who missed richie and/or chise, ddgs are a nice option for farming

[somber cairn]

with a weapon that does around 2x the base dmg of mk6 in singular mount, so it's effectively equal to mk6 with 2 mounts

[fluid grotto]

without any cd reduction is doesnt seem "pog" at all

[somber cairn]

and is also way more accurate

every 22s or so is fine

[fluid grotto]

would ppl use champagne if she doesnt have that cd reduction?

[somber cairn]

actually the real issue i see with backline ddgs is they're most useful for newer players, but since they need double oxytorp to get full potential, theyre also not particularly accessible to newer players

double oxy provides them with like 40% of their total torp stat

[eternal bronze]

actually they do infact powercreep alot of old BBs

since many older BBs don't have preload

[somber cairn]

is it powercreep if you're a solid t2

cuz thats where i personally would place them, after taking into account survivability issues

[fluid grotto]

powercreep them in first 3 second of battle?

[somber cairn]

between t1 and t0 dps marred by t5 survivability

[eternal bronze]

have you tested them yet?

[fluid grotto]

yep

[eternal bronze]

im leveling up mine and so far im satisfied with results

[somber cairn]

ddgs can 1:1 11-4 hm apparently

[fluid grotto]

even kaga bb still getting mvp over an shun

[runic tartan]

They lack overall damage + for newer players not gonna be accessible unless they started these past 2 weeks.

[fluid grotto]

dont even think newer player should invest on them as main fleet

[somber cairn]

issue is they need double oxy yepyep

[runic tartan]

Better as vanguard imo also

[eternal bronze]

oxy torp and seal

[somber cairn]

also this isnt rly game feedback anymore tbh, i forgot what the original feedback was, personally mine is theyre pretty balanced for backline and busted in vg

[eternal bronze]

cuz seal improve barrage

[fluid grotto]

never argued about their vanguard side, as main unit theyre not as good

[somber cairn]

double oxy is better in backline, majority of their dps is missile

[eternal bronze]

they do be good in backline tho

and yes this is no gamefeedback anymore

[somber cairn]

their aoa goes from once per 5-6s in vg to once per 21-22s in main fleet, i dont think s4g is worth losing 100 trp

[eternal bronze]

makes sense tho im gonna test it myself with endgame content

[fluid grotto]

only use seal on vang mode

[ruby robin]

this really diverged suddenly from feedback

[somber cairn]

yeah thats just my theory precalcs before the retrofit timegate was over may be different in practice, altho they can get like 800 trp after buffs which is poggies

[ruby robin]

[runic tartan]

Was give additional range to main gun

[somber cairn]

personally i think them not assisting vg with their gun is fine, missile is dope

[fluid grotto]

one way to make them viable probably by giving them enough main gun range to support vanguard

feedbackz

[eternal bronze]

should we go to #gameplay-help ?

[somber cairn]

if anything id instead suggest that both their barrages in main fleet auto-fire from center regardless of position, so they dont have to flag

[fluid grotto]

barrage wont help them much to compete main unit position

[somber cairn]

them preferring flag is annoying tho regardless so id like the change

[fluid grotto]

having them works like odin will fix that lack of salvo mount and make the seal works for both mode

[somber cairn]

work like odin would be too op would have vg dps in backline combined with backline preload and superior missile type

may even be TEX backline like that

[fluid grotto]

not really since you're missing dps from lack of missile mount

[somber cairn]

even with only 1 missile they are outputting good dps from main fleet

[eternal bronze]

true that would be too much

[copper bolt]

pretty sure this is a debate, not really a concise feedback

[somber cairn]

you miss that missile is 264 x 4, while something like mk6 is 156 x 3.

missile is basically equal to havig 2 mgm mk6, but a lot more accurate

[runic tartan]

156 x 3 x 3

For mgm+2

[somber cairn]

no, im talking about just the gun

missile is equal to 2 mgm mk6 (like french bb)

[eternal bronze]

and they have preload

[somber cairn]

like french bb

dps should be very good for a fight thats less than 4 salvos, and falls behind on extended fights, just like preload bbs

[eternal bronze]

and yes this has become a debate rather than feedback

[somber cairn]

yeah can we move to gph or somewhere

[hearty crane]

But hear me... 2 guns, NO preload... and a seaplane! Eh, good? No? Sad BBV noises (BBV > BB node when?)

[somber cairn]

thats part of my own estimate for the ddgs, if hyuuga is t2, t2 seems a solid fit for ddgs who have mediocre interception, poor ehp vs crash damage, 2 effective mounts, and a preload.

[fluid grotto]

sure can re balance the preload and the dmg amp even to make them viable as mobber main unit with long gun range
as for now dont see where id use them over bb or cv

[somber cairn]

their dmg is fine they also get +15% over other bbs due to their hidden mode, which is extremely forgiving, too

they also get full 20% bonus from manuel

[wheat yoke]

People just overrated them as usual

they're alright

[fluid grotto]

i have feeling you only try this thing only short mobbing

[somber cairn]

ive seen them perform well on boss thats all that rly matter

[fleet harness]

Wonder how many times it was said, but remove An Shan and Chang Chung from Retro list after modernization

[slate monolith]

[fierce ember]

few things to note about those kinds of events that make use of our fleets with sub-standard selection

1. as was said multiple times remove or replace "advice" button with a standart fleet selector,preferably everywhere(and i mean OTHER events with same mechanic and hardmode)
   2)add reposition button as it becomes a bit of a chore for reason below,since we already have this feature as a thing shouldnt be a problem?
   3)if you specifically try to replace FIRST(or second) ship in the vanguard or backline, your selected ship will get thrown in the LAST spot and other ships move one node left,so if you want to replace someone you need to fully clear it,thankfully there is a button for it but still fix this mess
   those are not critical but "nice to have improvements"

[hasty mountain]

I only ever find the advice button useful on the sub fleet as it will pick the only 3 subs with equipment for me instantly, but yes a fleet selector would achieve the same thing and be useful everywhere else

not happy with how the DDGs were implemented, this main fleet <> vanguard conversion thing is just another unnecessary step to bother the player with more menus, why not have the ships be assignable to either fleet like kashino and just have them perform differently depending on which fleet they are in?

it's so odd azur lane has been doing so well lately with cutting excess and making the UI more streamlined, then suddenly you drop this bomb of a legacy system from the era of kancolle?

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for 36 ships plox

[noble python]

The manual change is prob because of the stat and mechanics changes from main to vg and vice versa

Also most likely they are coded differently

[fierce ember]

even if its that reason,doesnt justify introducing the coin cost on top of it

[noble python]

ye agree 100%
