3 SP stages per day

And enable autosearch

And oil reduction

[somber cairn]

nah double drops for all event map runs for lite rerun

[fluid grotto]

[hearty crane]

Trust me, casuals dont farm out a whole weapon anyway. Take it from me when I was new during NO, no way I'd grind out a full gun. So you're solving a non-issue. Its the hardcore thats upset they have a week less, and those should have access to all the x2.

Casuals dont "farm"... that defies the very nature of being casual, especially with how terrible farming out gold gear is. As for xatapult, those are in permanent maps.

Anyway some of my own feedback:

If the PR2s are since PR4 now and with new event was deemed too much, it probably be better to remove the prints from the store and offer another reward (seems people desire x2 even though I have 200, add some of those?). Or replace them with some cores or pr xp packs (basically the same but could help with pr grind for new players)

And to throw vets a bone who MLB all event ships already, maybe allow us to use the tickets to pull from heavy and special. Making us a little less dependant on wishing wells?

[wild fable]

I dont mind the pr2s since im still kinda new and it helps with my fdg

that part is true though

[fluid grotto]

no one said casuls farming gears

[somber cairn]

i like the last bit, helps older players

[fluid grotto]

they do farm bare minimum pts tho

[hearty crane]

Several people did. Milestones are adjusted for less points. Its just the point shop that could use some tweaking, but the major argument is about having one week less farming on D3, which is... not exactly for newbs nor casuals.

[tawdry kite]

my main worry as stated on the longer post i did above was for cube economy of newer player if shorter reruns means more event in shorter timeframes, esp if UR events will happen more and more frequently

[ionic matrix]

Give me back my two +10 missiles!

You guys are missing the biggest limiting factor with the HE books. Morale.
They cause twice the morale consumption for fleets, so you either run less with the books, run your girls' morale/affection into the ground, or you switch your fleets up constantly.

This would need to be addressed too if the solution would just be "use your 2x books"

[tawdry kite]

usually people that are farming a map a lot can rotate multiple fleets while one is resting, and most people i assume are aware that high eff plans are just a boost for people who cant / dont want to sink time into farming to dump mood/oil fast and move on

[eternal bronze]

#collected-feedback message i made this not a long time ago

give it a look

[somber cairn]

so the ideal is just 2x all drops automatically with no penalty or book needed.

[split gyro]

To offset the lost week, using a double efficiency book isn't the right approach. Players can't just get oil out of thin air. players shouldn't pay with their own resources for a poorly implemented system. I agree, all event maps should give double everything. Double first clear rewards, double base clear rewards, double loot, everything. Otherwise it does not offset losing 50% of the events runtime.

Event shop should at least contain newest PR blueprints and cost 50% (or do the above and give double rewards). Would be so simple to solve all of this. Double currency for events and double loot on maps. Done. You just offset a week lost for everyone. Gear grinders too.

And on top of that, maybe think about reducing the amount of clears needed for maps. It takes too long. It should at least be halved.

[scenic flower]

Not only clears, but also 3-stars conditions.

[somber cairn]

just make it 1 clear to 100%. the 3* condition is fine imo, it's incentive to do more work for bonus reward anyway

[scenic flower]

I don't want to waste my time and oil on something that is not D3/SP.

[somber cairn]

we got 3x clear bonus anyway for 1st run

[scenic flower]

Not meaningful if can't drop best gear BPs

[copper bolt]

different people have different priorities, nothing wrong with that

[velvet adder]

i agree with this, all maps 1 clear to 100%

[hearty crane]

This goes of course by the assumption that they want to push 2 weeks into 1, not shorten the duration and lessen make it slightly easier but not 100% replace 2 weeks full of rewards. Again, if they can do more new events with this method and those use the same resources that would give us a LOT more than in the past.

[viscid moon]

I disagree that it should be universal it should be toggleable imo

[eternal bronze]

that would be too much for devs coding capabilities i guess

[viscid moon]

It is possible that people would not buy skins if they couldn't use the lines

Currently though, I know myself and others who have not bought skins because it would override EX lines

[eternal bronze]

thats why i made this

cuz im often thinking if i should buy a skin or not

never thought i would see a game that gatekeeps you for buying skins

[uncut sleet]

Random secretary skin button when, or heck just a random skin button in general.

[delicate trout]

So it gunna shorten our time in a event should least let people who already did the event have all the stages unlocked so can instantly start doin D3 for points and such so can we add that in the next rerun as goin though all the battles just to go to were was in shorter time just ehhh

[drowsy harness]

Losing a week to farm gear is so far from a non issue that I don't get how anyone could say it is so. If you have a maxed out canteen and use the free 4k weekly oil for farming, you are losing out on nearly 18 thousand oil to grind gear and event points, and that is just from the daily canteen refills and the 4k weekly oil pack, that's not even counting commissions. Obviously the casuals and the newbies aren't going to be having access to that kind of oil, and nor would they probably use it all up farming the event, but that does not mean that there are no people who do, therefore it is, by definition, not a non issue. The solution to this is beyond obvious, just double the drops across the board to compensate for the loss of a week. It would help the newbies, it would help the casuals, and it would help the hardcore players. I see no reason it could or should not be done considering the loss of an entire week.

[split gyro]

It really is that simple. You took away 50% of the time we have for an event, so you buff everything to double rewards. First clears, normal clears, loot (plates, girls etc.) Anything else will always be an overall loss for the players. And I don't care if we get bombarded with more and new events. Of course we will. It's about not making reruns worse. This system is definitely not helping with player engagement. And buffing everything helps everyone. New player, old player. Everyone will be happy.

I think it's simply not fair to cut time in half but not exchange it equally with more rewards. Manjuu simply made reruns worse. To cram in more UR. I think this is a bad move.

Technically Manjuu took away more than 50%. The prelude is gone too. That helped players to at least stockpile on a weeks notice. There is already a video from a Azur Lane player about this issue. They said the same, this system is worse

[raw quest]

i like this lite rerun

[split gyro]

That is also not even counting the other problems said above. Of maps taking forever to get cleared. You didn't touch that aspect at all Manjuu. Just let us clear it with one clear. Or, because you took away 50% of our time, cut it at least in half. It's a terrible time sink. Even when you not go for 3 stars

[somber cairn]

for me i calced my oil gain to be around 5k/day + 6.9k/week from mission and oilpack so im losing ~42k oil, it kinda sucks

and i agree, doubling drops fixes the issue

[velvet adder]

can you make opsi ships actually good or interesting? so then i actually have some motivation to get them

[somber cairn]

gneim is pretty good

[velvet adder]

[somber cairn]

i do agree metas should be better considering the effort needed to obtain them tho

also give me a dd meta already pls only meta i liked so far is hiryuu and i missed her by a year

[velvet adder]

yeah it would be nice to have a dd meta

although there isnt that many to choose from for the meta fight that are purple

that are popular at least

maybe nicholas?

[ornate basin]

meta ships apply under no ship suggestions

[velvet adder]

scrap opsi, its boring and nobody enjoys it

same with research

[hearty crane]

Here's a theory... what if the next event is Russian, and it also allows Chappy gun farming... just like Iris rerun / Richelieu event? Then it really isn't losing a week as much as you still have 3 weeks to grind it out rather than 2. Of course assuming the next event IS Russian. Of course this might not apply to all reruns, but the ones noteworthy gear to get are pretty scarce.
Would that nullify all the complains (on the farming side anyways), or do we still need double-drops?

[drowsy harness]

A nice enough theory... but just a theory.

I have no way of knowing beyond an inch of doubt that the next event is going to be a Northern Parliament until at the earliest the JP stream on the 14th, and so I can only operate under the assumption that this is the only opportunity to get the Chapgun for the near future. All feedback that I've seen here besides yours is also operating under that assumption, and such theories as yours are of limited use until proven to be true.

To entertain that theory though, even assuming it were going to be the case, I would still think light reruns should have double drops at least for the gear blueprints. This goes beyond just the current light rerun. There is nothing that I've seen that would point to every light rerun being followed up by a new major event of the same faction every single time. Light reruns should be entirely capable of sustaining a reasonable amount of gear farming instead of needing an additional follow up major event. That is how it has been in all the reruns prior to this one, why change it now?

[somber cairn]

i enjoy it it could be streamlined more though.

[velvet adder]

after like 6 resets i can thorougly say that i dont enjoy it

its just a monthly long grind that really doesnt give you much for the amount of time spent doing it

not to mention the gear lab "updates" that were supposed to be coming and then added like 4 things

still no use for main gun or AA rainbow prints, which is kinda unbelievable

a whole year in btw

[somber cairn]

streamlined opsi + better gearlab would be nice

i like the concepts but its not implemented very well

[drowsy harness]

To clarify a little, by "reasonable amount of gear farming", I mean "at least the same amount of farming as we had with the previous major event rerun type", meaning that the drops we get should be doubled to compensate the loss of a week's worth of farming.

[old monolith]

Forget 6 resets. We're 14 resets in and can't get a single RNG time-gated exploration star. What could make anyone think this is a good idea?

[fluid grotto]

star pity system

[velvet adder]

oh its 14 resets no wonder i hate doing it

if only auto would do hidden zones too, then i wouldnt have to play it at all

[old monolith]

I don't mind it personally. Just wish they'd increase the gold plates and gear parts you get instead of decreasing it...

[bronze trail]

so does anyone actually use this?

[ornate basin]

yep

[bronze trail]

…

[ornate basin]

we'd appreciate if you didnt send them a message, without actually having an issue

[bronze trail]

im so stupid

at least i apologized

did not think that through

[ornate basin]

just move on, just do not do this in the future please, it floods their inbox

[bronze trail]

understood

[primal yew]

I missed this event before, but why people get 2 Tashkent guns and I only get one from this rerun?

[hearty crane]

Nobody gets 2? They might have one from previous event(s)

This is the 3rd available Tashkent gun ingame.

[hollow sand]

do we know if they are gonna fix the pr2 prints yet

do we buy them or not buy them
maybe they can do a all pr2 bp purchased from event gets removed and replaced with pr4 or something

[raw quest]

they won't change it

[hollow sand]

so i guess no need to buy it unless theres nothing else to buy

[ocean galleon]

The new rerun format is absolutely awful. Half the time, but everything costs the same, it's a nightmare. Excuse me, but I have a job and a household, I can't play Azur Lane 24/7...
Not to mention that the halved time means halved weapon skins from shops too.

[dense hinge]

Some incentive to actually run non-KMS, HMS, USS, or IJN fleets would be nice. As it stands the PR xp grind means you're better off not running fleets of SN, FFNF, MNF, etc.
I appreciate the speed up of course, however again no reason to use non main 4 factions as things stand other than personal preference.
Not a gigantic deal, it would just be nice

[indigo holly]

just finish farming the PR's ez fix, also french and italian both have PR's so they would still be useful in that sense

[dense hinge]

but it comes down to whether the PR ships xp requirement requires their use....sort of like how St Louis doesn't use Iris Libre ships for xp research requirement.

at least that's what I was getting at

guess other ships like gascogne do though on my part there

[copper bolt]

the more you play, the more insignificant the xp requirement for unlocking PR ships are. It is also permanent content so you can do it at your own pace because the prints are the longest factor in making those ships "usable"

[crude willow]

Hello i would like to give a feedback about the current Nothern overtune rerun could u kindly make it 2 weeks long like previous events cz most of us r either working or studying nd may not have time to play or grind much just a suggestion.

[strange void]

I dont know if im allowed to send it here, but can you extend the event( Russian event) and maybe the future event too. i think its Bad, some people doesnt have that much time like me. its kinda bad since its only one week i wish the devs or Mods can see this, thank you sorry im still new in discord :) goodluck devs/mods

[copper bolt]

It's feedback on the current event so ofc it's allowed

[strange void]

Thank you, have a nice day :)

[potent jasper]

Hey i have a suggestion for a system that is a good idea is there a chat for that

@agile otter i have a suggestion

[ocean galleon]

but it could be a normal rerun instead which isn't abhorrent and nightmarish
in comparison to that
it's awful

we need the normal reruns back ASAP
like literally right now

[potent jasper]

I think a inter server guild system as i am in a guild that is between two servers and i want the guild to be more connected than just discord

[copper bolt]

You go to #bot-spam and do !submit

[potent jasper]

How is there a thing i gotta type

[hearty crane]

I seriously doubt we get 3 week for ALL reruns back, it would throw off the entire schedule, which I assume is set fairly packed. Might still have 2 (3?) for Dreamwaker rerun and the like.

[copper nest]

just improve future reruns and throw some rewards for everyone for beta testing new system on live server 😃

[velvet adder]

true, this is literally live alpha testing

all points should have been 2x since it was halved time

you dont just halve the entire event and then only half the event milestones how do you expect people to get the other stuff since its 2x harder now

[wheat yoke]

^

[viscid moon]

Event points are 2x, but in terms of cubes it's 2 missing weeks, not 1

[copper nest]

Minor issue, since first 3 maps are easy to run 1:1 anyway, but if we're expected to use daily clear bonus maybe enable oil cap on all stages (with clear bonuses) 🙂

[split gyro]

Yes. The thing is, Manjuu cut the event time by 50% but did not adjust anything. You still need absurd amounts of clears to advance stages, you still get basic rewards on clears. Oh, and let's not forget a outdated event shop. So old players have nothing to aim for, really.

The devs just didn't adjust it accordingly. Cut time in half means to cut clears needed to advance in half. Means double rewards for a clear, everything, all the loot plus event currencies. But they didn't. In essence the devs condensed an absurd amount of grinding into one week. And completely screwed over gear grinders as cherry on top.

Technically Manjuu cut rerun time by 75%. 2 weeks gone. No prelude, which enabled people saving resources up on a weeks notice, and the week off the actual event. The tickets are the one and only okay part of this new system. But 32 free constructions in exchange for 75% reduction? On top of all the other problems mentioned above? No. Sorry, but this system is in dire need of an overhaul. Badly!

[copper bolt]

PR2 prints are still useful, despite being a long time player I have not yet finished PR2 and I'm sure the case is the same for a lot of other players too.

also we technically had a dead week before this so a lot of people would be chilling and saving resources anyway right

[split gyro]

even so... PR4 prints can be used for 2 as well. Essentially just screwing players over anyway. Even if you still have use for pr2 prints

[copper bolt]

yeah I'm not saying no to that, just the point that old players have nothing to aim for

[split gyro]

the coin catch up makes the situation even worse

at best, at very best, only the DR prints are useful

but again, it's pr2...

[copper bolt]

it's "free" PR cores

[split gyro]

Right the core system. Payout for that is bad. But that's another story. In my view, this system is simply bad and unbalanced. And unfair to the players. Some, like grear grinders, were completely left in the rain here

[copper bolt]

but yeah, there's definitely a lower need/aim to get the stuff from the event shop but that means most people can just chill. Newer players that didn't play first time around will have to work hard to catch up right? Half the time is a bit unfair but it depends on the aims of those players in the end. Do they want to farm out the gear prints/shop or do they just want to get the medal/frame/missing ship collection? Depending on all these factors, this new type of rerun has varying levels of "good" to "bad"

[copper bolt]

you get so many cores if u, for example, just leave azuma at dev 30 and just chain azuma researches and convert them to protocores

this is obviously a very luxurious thing to do but it's what pr core grinders can do that are super late game which is what the PR shop is mostly for anyway

when there's not a lot left to grind, you don't want the return on invest to be too high otherwise PR will actually be a neverending grind

since it is now feasible to actually finish all PR ships in a "timely" fashion

[reef ginkgo]

im planning to do that right now so we'll see how well it works for semi casual players

[hearty crane]

They don't, thus kept PR2 in shop to cut 25K of the required points to get? Just a theory.

And I'm still convicted "half time to grind" will be compensated by a full 2 weeks to do the exact same in the new event

[wheat yoke]

+1

[fleet salmon]

that would mean just moving the exp up back one week

[winter lance]

Started doing the monthly boss today. During the battle there is screen shake added and I really dislike it, don't add it to future boss battles please.

[hollow sand]

When we getting more than 6 fleets

[scenic flower]

BTW, would be cool if we could repeat the ships between fleets when tapping the coresponding checkbox. And if we're trying to use 2 fleets with the same ship(s), it shouldn't let us. Thus, we could have various fleets for different occasions.

Oh, and the game should remember, what fleets we used in which stage/mode. Just dropping the first 2 fleets in every case sux.

[bold viper]

Why is the event shop only supply PR2 blueprint? In previous rerun event, the event shop will supply latest PR blueprint, why this lite rerun still supply outdated PR2 blueprint?! 😡
Please improve that!

[proud snow]

I have complain. Why on earth is the EN patch not mentioning that the current event is a lite rerun where the JP patch mentioned it (I heard it was the case)? Please not repeat this and do your translation better next time. This is very confusing. NOBODY so far as I know uses the term "lite rerun". The only reason why I even realised it is because the mission asking me to clear lite rerun mission.

[hardy kindle]

fwiw EN patch notes being incomplete and/or misleading has been a common trend for a long time . It's a pretty big issue that they don't seem to bother fixing. Wouldn't be surprised if we've got multiple trello cards too

[copper bolt]

Pretty sure this is a campaign only thing but it is indeed annoying

[ionic marsh]

Yet another quick feedback about the light rerun:

Having to do 2 weeks' worth of work in 1 week for the light rerun is not kind to the oil reserves, even at max (Lv. 12) recharge rate.

This is my first time doing Northern Overture; I started at Commander Rank 106, with an oil cap of 11,850. And this is also the first occasion that I've had to refill oil via supply packs - three times so far.

Perhaps oil cost limits are in order, on top of other appropriate adjustments. (Basically, halve them.)

[merry sonnet]

Don't D stages have an oil cap in this rerun?

[ionic marsh]

Oh, they do. I wasn't aware.

Still would be nice to halve oil costs on all light rerun maps though, including SP.

[merry sonnet]

That would make sense, yeah, but I'm not even going to do SP this time tbh.

On the first day I rushed C and D, and since then I've been doing just one run of those each day. Now I'm up 18k points and we only need 25k to get the last rainbow blueprints, as opposed to 50k

If I started power-farming D3 with a full fleet right now I'd probably reach 25k with days to spare

[ionic marsh]

I did SP once, but it has no multipliers, so… I could just be doing D3/B3 instead.

Ah well, at least I got the rainbow furniture.

[merry sonnet]

Yeah, don't waste your time on SP. Sounds unnecessary this time.

[hidden bear]

Am I misremembering or were we supposed to get rerun builds that DIDN'T use cubes??? I distinctly remember that.

This event-lite isn't going down great. I don't think it'd be wise to do it again in the future.

Also, there's a decryption minigame cutscene that new people can't get because it wasn't rerun with the event.

[bold bay]

32 free ticket pulls

[hidden bear]

Not the tickets. I distinctly remember that we were told that we would have the opportunity to have rerun builds using just coins, so that we can save on cubes for the big UR events.

[bold bay]

Tbh we didn't really know anything beside the Google translated picture of the lite rerun during the JP stream

[hearty crane]

Its the tickets

And SP is 800 vs 180 for ~2x the oil. I see no reason to skip myself.

[fluid grotto]

then you heard wrong

[lyric mulch]

let us keep the option for rerun cube pulls? people who missed the initial event have little chance to get all ships like this

[hearty crane]

You have? It uses cubes when you run out oftickets.

Its like PR prints for coins in that regard...

[lyric mulch]

my bad! in that case i have no complaints lool

[copper bolt]

they said they would give free builds which are the build tickets. Not that extra builds after that wouldn't go back to normal by using cubes and coins

[unborn folio]

lmao "tickets" I've already used them and got only rares and commons spent more rss on this re-run than from the UR banner

re-runs will be more easier they said, you'll get the ships they said

[normal vine]

do we already have a ticket to make this numbers like for UR ships?

[eternal bronze]

not only the patch notes sadly

[copper bolt]

If you can't find it with the search function in #collected-feedback then submit it to the bot. If you somehow missed it then the feedback will get rejected as a duplicate

[scenic flower]

When sending the fleet in opsi to some destination manually, I'd like this fleet to ignore all the lootboxes, catpaws and other collectible stuff, and just move straight to destination without stops and stupid monologues. Same goes to exit portal. It shouldn't block the fleets during autosearch and it shouldn't stop my fleet if I pass it by, until I send the fleet directly to this portal.
When manually playing opsi, I'd also like to return the screen to my active fleet after it was moved to show me the newly appeared mobs or elite Sirens movements.

Oh, and I want the merchant to shut up and just show me the goods.
And there is still no option of instant text output, so when we tap, it would show the entire phrase immediately.

[merry sonnet]

I second all of that ^

OPS is super clunky even to this day. Why do we have to see Akashi talk and then confirm that we want to see the shop? Why do we have to confirm to TB that we want to perform a meowfficer search operation? It's silly.

A lot of stuff in OPS is just there to waste time

[scenic flower]

One more thing I forgot. While autosearch in the event is active, there should be a button, which will allow us to skip the dialogues entirely, including the choices. Just not show them at all. We don't need the AUTOREAD button. We need the SKIP button.

[uneven jewel]

[velvet adder]

Add free tickets during wishing well builds

[burnt perch]

Here's an idea: that coupon thingy we get in cattery, just make it usable for skipping skill leveling time, nobody uses them on cats anyway.

[velvet adder]

not to mention theyre garbage and only knock 20 minutes off a ticket

[copper bolt]

you mean changing their purpose?

[burnt perch]

Nope, just increase their range of usage from cattery to cattery+academy

[copper bolt]

ic, fair enough

[velvet adder]

Can we have an auto skip cutscenes toggle the auto function sometimes makes it even harder to insta skip, and skip always skips to a choice (idk why it doesnt skip the entire thing)

[somber cairn]

on the topic of sp, imo it shouldve gotten a 2x or 3x boost

[fierce ember]

it also slows down in a dialog where you need to choose and doesnt speed up until the next one
so you have to wait until it plays out,choose whatever and then press auto again

[hearty crane]

Cause you might end up on the node and DON'T want to lose your meowfficers.

[merry sonnet]

What's the point? On auto-search the game will take you to the next battle with or without meowfficers, and on manual you can just walk little by little until you have meowfficers again

The game keeps asking you to confirm things that you obviously want to do, otherwise you wouldn't have clicked on that node

Imagine playing a shooter and getting a prompt asking if you really want to reload every time you press R. By that same logic you could say that you might get caught at a time where you don't want to be stuck in a reload animation

If I pressed R, I want to reload. If I clicked on Akashi, I want to see the shop. No need to ask.

[slate monolith]

Actually this would be a good idea since it's much easier to remember numbers over a very long description of an item, did you send that QoL idea over to the Belfast Bot yet?

[normal vine]

yes

[copper nest]

Why another ❗ I know I have building tickets left, if you insist one per day will be enough but it's not going away 💀

[scenic flower]

Yeah, I hate it.

[scenic flower]

It could pop-up just in the last day and only once.

[hearty crane]

Not sure why the ! is needed, can it not just keep that X WILL EXPIRE instead???

[slate monolith]

Yeah, or at least have it with the ! in the last 24 hours of the event?

[summer spindle]

I know yall know this but gonna say it anyway: This whole HMS situation is really frustrating. Major faction, but only 2 events ever and its been about 1.5 years since the last one ran, and there hasn't even been a rerun. Just giving my feedback, I know no recommendations are taken here

[cursive horizon]

Can we have normal, 2-week length reruns back? A single week is not enough time for those of us who have things to do such as health or family matters.

[velvet adder]

i agree the ! in the last 24 hours would be nice i honestly have ZERO idea when they will expire

[hearty crane]

Wednesday... still wouldn't the X is going to expire still work better for that than ! ?

[velvet adder]

wait how about a pop up like the skins

"tickets are going to expire within 24 hours, use them or lose em"

[bold pier]

I kinda wish, XP would overload from dorm and commissions, like it does from battles. Having to keep an eye on all my ships in dorm and 4 currently active commissions (a total of 30 different ships) to see, if any of them have to be awakened (because the XP gain would be wasted if they are currently on a cap (+0 XP)), gets really annoying.

Especially when you used premium food in your dorm or when you forgot to awaken a ship you sent on a 10h commission, seeing the +0 XP pop up is really frustrating.

[copper nest]

Totally agree, when we're waiting for implementation I suggest using this dock filter (won't solve all the issues but at least it's something)

[bold pier]

Good hint, that should help a bit at least. Still, just being able to spend the overloaded XP afterwards would obviously be a lot more comfortable. It wouldn't even really shake the game balance, just reduce annoying micromanagement a bit.

[fluid grotto]

more like can't cog awake

[fair fiber]

if anyone could remind the devs that there has been over 18 months since the last RN event. That would be much appreciated, thanks. (sidenote: do also remind them that we haven't had a rerun for aurora noctis yet either)

[jolly jacinth]

I’m fairly sure they know what events have run. We also don’t take suggestions for events, or reruns.

[velvet adder]

What's the reason because the English version icon is different from the other ones? (Enterprise, Saratoga)

[ornate basin]

different clients, regardless this is #game-feedback , your question isnt a feedback

[velvet adder]

I wasn't sure where to put this question since it isn't gameplay related either, sorry.

[quick reef]

Anyone else think this is a really stupid idea..

[quick reef]

I mean other that it should read disassemble or dismantle NOT dissemble.. they completely different meanings yostar 😅

[quick reef]

Again.. if you want someone to check your English translations.. my offer still stands.. because whomever is doing it now.. is not doing a very good job of it

[old monolith]

Why do the Valentine's messages have to change every year? Seems very awkward to reference other characters in a message, or reference something from a previous year when you didn't set them as a Valentine back then. Shouldn't you just make all of these messages viewable in game somewhere?

[velvet adder]

I like eldridge's messages because she gets better year after year of making chocolate i kinda like the progression in the messages

[old monolith]

Yeah, not saying it's bad for you to enjoy it. I think the best solution is to let others get the same enjoyment. Maybe let you see previous year's messages at the very least even if you don't want to give access to other characters

[velvet adder]

i think its better if all the messages are seperate by year like you say

eldridge is getting better year by year but if you got her chocolate this year, then you wouldnt notice a difference because its kinda independant

straight up refering to other years is probably a bad thing

[cloud sable]

Also it would be a good idea to tie the message with the item instead of being in mail

Easier to find and read, and you can’t lose it

[copper nest]

^ yes yes yes, and do it retroactively

[somber cairn]

^ yes seconded

[hearty crane]

Well, the item is just a hackity thing, it only spells the name since they can easily add that in by adding [value]... if they need different text they need to make about 500 new items every year in the code each year. So yeah while it's nice I don't see it being reasonable. It should be made clearer how to save your mails though, my poor 2020 Valentines.

[fierce ember]

i would probably say that if you had recieved it from any ship you just unlock all current and future mails from that specific character so you wont have to slot them every year to be the same one and see it or go for external sources
and its not like only one ship can do it every year,since there are multiple different lines referencing other ships doing the same,so why not just do that

[hearty crane]

But what about the people that slot in the same ship... every year And we know those are around since they showcase it...

[fierce ember]

[hearty crane]

So my suggestion is 2023 Harem year... give us 5 gifts from all the secretary girls (and please have a better secretary system by then too).

[fierce ember]

add it to archive like we have with secretary stories
regardless it being tied to mail that expires is just aint fun on top of it being locked to just 1 ship out of 500+ever increasing every year

[velvet adder]

yeah i use eldridge every year for 4 years

harem would be nice since i have to be picky

[viral furnace]

But that mail doesn't expire. At least I still have previous year letter.

[fierce ember]

because you marked it,not everyone does that and sending it via something that can expire is bad

[wheat yoke]

+1

[shadow basin]

has it been suggested to enchance gear from here directly?

[void schooner]

You can if the gear isn't assigned to anyone. Which makes it all the more odd that you can't enhance directly from that page when gear is assigned to someone.

[somber cairn]

yeah id just like to have all 5 secretaries (gib more secretaries) gib valentine

[hollow sand]

Random idea
New campaign/game mode
Convoy escort

Or even better replace SOS with a new convoy escort game mode

Update the whole asw mechanics as well

[hollow sand]

convoy has to make it across the map
big map and convoy follows a set path
all enemies submarines are hidden while sirens are not and the better sonar stuffs your ships have the further away subs can be spotted on the map
6 ships to a fleet separated into 2 groups
the fleet can only be dd cl and cvl
1 group stays with the convoy at all times and one gets controlled to seek out enemy submarines/sirens

if the convoy gets attacked then the 3 ships with the convoy engage in battle
the transport ships are visible on the left side of the screen
dd and cl are controllable while cvl are not and stay on the left side of the screen and just launch planes

the group seeking subs and sirens engage in battle with any cvl on the left side while dd and cl are controllable
speed of the 3 ships in the group determines how many tiles the group can advance to seek out enemies

[scenic flower]

MOAR Beaver Squads!!!

[flint imp]

increase the chance of big seven

[eternal bronze]

might aswell retrofit all of the non SSR big seven

i aways find odd that West Virginia talks about her fighting on Surigao Strait and watching the last moments of the IJN but she ins't even viable to use there

[stone valley]

Make the AR camera be from your phones camera? I have a iPhone xs which has a pretty good camera and the AR camera… I am certain it doesn’t use the phones camera. Lmao it’s pretty bad if I gotta admit…

[vale ore]

I just have a question and I don't know if this is the right place to ask but

Is bush banned on EN?
I just want to know why she is the only ship from monthly login reward that you can't get anywhere unlike the others

And as far as I know she is on CN light pool

[copper nest]

🤨

what camera is it using then? maybe it makes just lower res/more compressed pics but it certainly uses camera in your phone, just cover it and see

[velvet adder]

if its black then u denied it to use the camera

[flint imp]

Nagato retrofit would be hot

[jolly jacinth]

It’s also not using hardware camera settings, and instead using its own software settings. So things the iPhone does on its own through its own camera app aren’t being done via AL’s AR camera. So you’re likely to get less quality possibly because the AR cam is just using lower settings

[stone valley]

oh ic

[hearty crane]

And that's why there is no trading ingame. They... do know that right?

[fleet salmon]

they might be trading accounts though

[jolly jacinth]

DM me a link to the page and I’ll pass it along to staff

[somber cairn]

oite exists

pretty sure they just forgot to add them to light pool

[thorn dust]

I think it’s a good idea. Because I deserve pain

[kind brook]

Oite!1!1!1!1 😭
also stremitelny is login

[hasty mountain]

something like a "clear count" for auto please... so the game auto-repeats the map a specified amount of times
I'm sure people will find all sorts of uses for this, for me I just want to set the game to do the 3 daily hard mode clears and then be able to afk so it'll be done by the time I'm back and I can move on to do better stuff

[velvet adder]

along with auto retire/enhance

or just have the dock fill up anyway and after its done be forced to retire/enhance

kinda like how missions throw bulins/purins into your dock even if its full

[median lichen]

A custom button where we can turn off the heart symbol that keep pounding out of ship girl in the lobby UI would be nice. Since the heart symbol Doesn’t Match with many skin. For Vittorio skin as example. I just oathed her yesterday but after I have oathed her the heart symbol keep ruining my image about the skin. Although the skin was always my favorite untill now. (The heart symbol on vittorio face)

[fluid grotto]

auto unlock the mini game memories

[hearty crane]

You do know we get the decryption minigame thursday. It might unlock that.

[fluid grotto]

i dont see anything in #game-news

[copper bolt]

can we get a new research introduced that is similar to the E researches but for the UR print? It'd guarantee 1 print and be very rare like 30 min rainbow DR researches. Cost would be 20 gold tech boxes

[hearty crane]

You want to make lvl 95 Fierce Assault even worse than it already is?

[fluid grotto]

yeah something to get rid of those gold boxes would be good

[somber cairn]

cost is too high imo

maybe something like 8k coins and 5 gold techbox

[unborn folio]

thx game 380 cubes in and still miss 2 ships as from first run of the event

"GOLD GACHA STANDARD"

[somber cairn]

welcome to gacha

[unborn folio]

stop saying this game has good gacha rates lmao

[velvet adder]

why 7? it should be 8

why do these give lower than gold

no other commission in the game gives anything lower rarity than it states other than these launch ceremonies

[fluid grotto]

"may find"

[velvet adder]

yes its a may find :)

these do not give blue books, these do not give blue/white crates

its just kinda weird that on a gold launch ceremony not only do you have to roll on if you find a ship, you also have to roll on the rarity of the ship you find out of the entire pool

if you hit the ship check then you should just get the stated rarity

[fluid grotto]

the others have amount rng instead after the find check

if deleted then its gone

[copper nest]

On wiki 🙁

[thorn dust]

Gold tech boxes are worthless, why not cost 20?

[velvet adder]

have the shipbuilding support tickets work in every build, not just event while they are they, to give the vets a reason to use em

[uneven jewel]

i think they're fine like that. we can just get some free medals. what's next? other vets wanting something completely different when we have all ships from the pools?

[velvet adder]

yes

its only 1 build its not like im asking for a ship the newbies can still use the tickets elsewhere too

people normally pull for every ship the first event anyway, hoo boy free medals to spend on nothing

[uneven jewel]

i just think it's unnecessary that everything always have to cater to anyone. just enjoy a few free builds and call it a day

[fluid grotto]

[velvet adder]

if you never ask for anything then you never get anything law of the jungle

[velvet adder]

i mean the reruns are only 1 week long and are chained directly into preludes (potentially with UR ships)

the free like 30 builds tbh doesnt really cover how fast cubes are gonna get eaten now

most f2p gacha

of course it is its a kiddie casino

30 builds is almost a 50/50 of getting a gold ship but for UR rerun events then its just nowhere close

and i guess when the UR's start to rerun then people who missed them will really find out

[hearty crane]

We're not going to lie for you.

[hearty crane]

It SHOULD be... but it's not.
cries about that stupid Arbiter mission again

[fluid grotto]

just finish the mission

[hearty crane]

(I actually also posted that here, we should bug Belfast about this)

[hearty crane]

The point it actually blocks you would be at the start of the month, also the one spot you would be hard pressed to finish it (unless of course you get scammed out of 5k oil)

[hearty crane]

I somewhat doubt UR reruns would be "light/lite"... remember they said some events, no matter how many times EN does their EN thing of changing the entire meaning and propegating it.

[velvet adder]

oh i just imagined they do it for every event

since they specifically stated they wanted to focus on new events and not reruns

[lone aurora]

is having a rotatable secretary ships a good idea? just like zooming in n out

[old monolith]

Can you make this do what it actually says and counter the ability for enemies to turn heals into damage? Seems like several times a month I run into auto-search problems where this gets my fleet killed

[somber cairn]

not at all worthless to newer players

[ionic zinc]

Give us the last scene of the Northern Overture pls, or bring back the decryption event pls. It’s killing me that I can’t finish this.

[somber cairn]

how's it predatory?

[old monolith]

Gotta spend $80 once a year to clear the one banner you get extra unlucky on? Clearly the worst gacha game to ever exist

[thorn dust]

Research UR gear is designed for late game players. So why bother making it accessible to those in the early game?

[somber cairn]

play genshin for a while then tell me AL is predatory

[velvet adder]

$80 is a lot, most triple A games are pay once for around $60 then you own it

[somber cairn]

be me: beaten 14-4
also me: opens every gold techbox because i need steam catapults and hellcats

[thorn dust]

What do you need Hellcats for? They’re not good

[somber cairn]

dont see what's wrong with it costing 8k coin and 5 box

[somber cairn]

to craft into tigercats

at what point are you considered 'late game' anyway? is it time played or stage cleared?

[ionic zinc]

Sure, but compared to say Dokkan Battle, Legends, and especially FGO, Azur Lane is tame in comparison.

With that said, the pity UR system brings AL down a few pegs, especially with 4 coming this year

[somber cairn]

i know multiple ppl who've played much longer than me and havent touched w14, so like, that doesn't sound like a good metric to me

[old monolith]

Until you count the online subscription service, the season pass, the other DLCs...

[thorn dust]

Late Game to me is when you have multiple fleets capable of clearing all content in the game and you’re min-maxing your fleets for future content that may or may not actually come out. Like a submarine world or a boss that takes up the whole screen

[velvet adder]

its a mobile game though lol, not a AAA title

idk who conditioned u people into thinking paying $80 out a year is fine

especially for a game where if the servers close down you own nothing

[somber cairn]

well i do think im at that stage tbh

[thorn dust]

It’s like Magic: the Gathering

[somber cairn]

still need tech boxes

[velvet adder]

i guess its the "i got shafted in the worse gacha so this gacha shafting me less means its way better"

[somber cairn]

also i could use that UR gear research

[thorn dust]

Would you rather the game just give you every character and cost $20 up front or play ads every 30 seconds or something?

[velvet adder]

i mean we already pay ~$20 for a skin (an nft jpeg)

[old monolith]

How is missing one ship out of a hundred released every year getting shafted? If you're a completionist you can pay the price or you just cut your losses. Nobody's making you clear every banner 100%

Not to mention they become perma eventually

[somber cairn]

yeah calling this game predatory is lol

[velvet adder]

? all mobile games have a form of predation

[somber cairn]

like sure the fomo is a bit predatory but everything besides collabs is guaranteed to rerun and archive someday, skins included.

ive never played a less predatory game before in my life, tho dunno if that's a compliment to AL or a statement about how gaming is nowadays

[velvet adder]

the skins in al used to be literally illegal in eu so they had to change it (fake sale prices)

[thorn dust]

This game saw it’s players struggling with coins, instead of adding more ways to buy coins with real money, they added an unlimited coin farm at 12-4 and other worlds. And you call it predatory.

[somber cairn]

if all games have a form of predation then AL is at the top of the least predatory list

ive played multiple pc games that were alot worse

[ionic zinc]

Correct.

[somber cairn]

after 4.5 months a new player like me already collected over 1k cubes and obtained almost every ship she wanted to get. i cant see this game as predatory

[velvet adder]

this is a game built around lootboxes, people call EA bad and then call gachas the second coming of christ

[somber cairn]

gacha isnt a good mechanic but AL is the fairest implementation of it that ive ever seen

and it's generous enough that you practically never need to buy cubes

EA is a lot worse

[velvet adder]

idk id say EA is better than gachas

[ionic zinc]

I dunno about anyone else, but I got into the game cuz I liked the event boss battles. It mixed shoot-em up w/ bullet hell.

[thorn dust]

The lootbox elements of this game have incredible odds

[somber cairn]

this gacha is a gacha where you need to be "lucky" in order to not get what you want

unlike most other gachas

[velvet adder]

pity should exist for non UR units

[somber cairn]

if you have the average luck, you will obtain pretty much everyone you want on a silver platter given the amt of currency they hand out

[thorn dust]

EA, going into freaking Plants vs Zombies 6 years after the last update to the game just to add mandatory advertisements is better than Gacha?

[somber cairn]

if you have bad luck sure you may get shafted, that happens in any game with any sort of rng whatsoever

and if you have good luck well you dont NEED good luck because average luck will statistically give you almost everything you want for free

[ionic zinc]

Almost all of there games are gachas in disguise, have pay walls to play the campain. I’d say what they did to the PvZ franchise practically speaks for itself.

[somber cairn]

the rates and currency gain are just that good

[velvet adder]

anyone who thinks you should be able to build 500+ times and not get an elite because "game generous" is kinda delusional

[somber cairn]

only real thing i would change is lite reruns should give a few more build tickets to help brand new players

like 31 -> 40 should be fine. that puts you at over 50% probability to obtain any SR you want.

[velvet adder]

all units should be under a pity system

[old monolith]

You're able to build a million times and not get it

That's part of luck

[velvet adder]

exactly which shouldnt be possible

[somber cairn]

pity system on lite reruns is something that im open to ig, like 100 builds for elite and 150 for SR

[thorn dust]

Which elite are you spending 500+ pulls for?

[velvet adder]

I mean i pulled 430 times for a mogami there should be a guaranteed character ticket at 200 pulls

[fluid grotto]

[thorn dust]

Mogami is perm…

[somber cairn]

i dropped 2 mogamis from 14-4

[old monolith]

430 pulls for a ship you can farm...

[fluid grotto]

gamefeedback btw

[velvet adder]

yeah this was back 2 years ago :)

[somber cairn]

granted i think he means pulling in her original event

[hearty crane]

We're getting the decryption minigame tomorrow. If it doesn't give the memory, poke them hard.

[somber cairn]

still, im not opposed to a pity system, but the game is not really in dire need of it

[old monolith]

The point still stands. You know every ship in every event will one day be permanently available

[fluid grotto]

also yeah, gold box kinda wortless, give something to get rid of it pl0x

[old monolith]

If you want it immediately, that's your choice

[somber cairn]

if anything, collabs should get pity first. since they never return

[velvet adder]

If theres a pity system for UR then i really dont see why there isnt a pity system for lower rarity ships from the same event, as you say, not getting them but getting the UR is unlucky

[thorn dust]

Why do you play this game if you don’t like it?

[somber cairn]

convert to cube

[velvet adder]

I never said i dont like it but thank you :)

apparently critisising a game mechanic = i hate the game and needs people to defend it

[fluid grotto]

i like the research UR print idea

[somber cairn]

aite thats going too far lol, this is game feedback, you can like something and still be critical of it

[fluid grotto]

20 box sounds ok

[somber cairn]

research UR print should be more accessible than that imo otherwise only boomers can do it

all other UL-type research are accessible to like 1 month player or older, so

[fluid grotto]

nah

[fleet salmon]

then make t4 boxes craftable from t3 boxes

[thorn dust]

It was a serious question, I’m wondering what the positives of the game are for them.

[somber cairn]

this. id be ok with 20 box if it's craftable

[thorn dust]

Maybe a direction they would like to see it go

[ionic zinc]

My fingers are ready. My countless hours of SMW button mashing will pay off. XD

[velvet adder]

Id like them to move into making more skins, moving away from decreasing rates of the gacha itself

[fluid grotto]

well doesnt matter if you ok or not just throwing feedback

[somber cairn]

still think reducing box and adding coin cost is better tho

well my feedback is the same idea, but 8k coin and 5 box. so

also id make it guarantee 2 UR print

[hearty crane]

I don't think I even spend $80 on AL in the 2+ years I play... and every single penny of that went through dockspace and skins, $0 on Gacha...

[fluid grotto]

8k too cheap with gold revamp

[somber cairn]

8k is fitting considering the other UL researches

[velvet adder]

old researches should be way more accessible

[somber cairn]

also something being 'too' cheap is a good thing, it makes it accessible

[velvet adder]

fdg and azuma should be purchaseable with coins

just straight up like the other 4 are

[somber cairn]

agreed.

maybe have it cost a bit more - but still, allow it

[fluid grotto]

[velvet adder]

i mean there are more prints to buy total anyway so

[somber cairn]

well coins arent that big an issue but yea fair

[velvet adder]

but theyre 2 years old ships now no point in blocking them this far

the only reason i can see they blocking it is theyre waiting until after fate 5 comes for fdg

[somber cairn]

yeah perhaps

not like fdg needs it yet lol, drek does more

[fluid grotto]

how u hvnt finished those by now alr

[somber cairn]

no reason to focus pr2 as a new player

[timber grotto]

Faction medals for pvp plox

[hearty crane]

[fluid grotto]

asking the vet

aotn count medal @timber grotto

[hearty crane]

Could you guys not have 2 events with the EXACT same name? Surely there was another variation to think of? Is this going to happen with every Call to Arms from now on?

[primal yew]

I think this is how devs trigger green name community in this server

[copper nest]

@hearty crane apparently they're using "call to arms: <faction name>" format and I know there was northern front one but: (may spoil some lore stuff lol)

but I agree that they all should have unique names reading patch notes for the first time was a tiny bit confusing, like.. are they repeating call to arms from before or what

[slate monolith]

More like #al-lore would have a field day over this

[hearty crane]

I mean we also have Combat Preperation: Iron Blood and Call to Arms: Iron Blood so a slight variation like that would be welcome.

(It doesn't help TW servers ALSO run Call to Arms: Northern Parliament right now... just... the other one)

[slate monolith]

Well that's TW soo....

[somber cairn]

genshin is like, average for gacha. but compared to AL it looks bad so im not surprised

yeah ig i agree the unscrappable metas is a bit predatory, but it's 1 per 2 months so i cant rly be that mad about it. wish they came with +1 dock tho

[cursive horizon]

All the unscrappable ships should just have their own dock space included, it's something they should've done a long time ago. I do buy dock space to keep up with the slow trickle of new ships, since collecting them all is a large part of why I enjoy the game - and it's a gacha where you can realistically do this unlike others I've looked at.. however, providing free space for people whether they spend money or not is definitely something I think is a good idea.

[fickle acorn]

I need some QoL, I wanna know how much affinity my ships have before I send them in and halfway through the farm they dip red.

[real rivet]

rainbow type 95 kai sub torps need a buff. it does way less damage than what a rainbow equip should be doing in practice

[iron pumice]

i definitely agree that unscrappable ships should have their own dock, like prs or metas. even if ill have to pay gems for it, id rather pay once than multiple times

[hearty crane]

Agreed on the METAs, but I think its too early to call them predatory over it. Also there is no "premium way" to get around Arrays, we all get them the same rate.

[copper bolt]

it's a bit convoluted rn but you can just press them in the fleet formation to check their affinity. Also are you referring to morale rather than affinity when you say it dips into the red?

when i say fleet formation, it's when you're in the screen that lets you swap out the ships in the fleets

it'll tell you how much morale they have and their affection (if you use the top filter)

[somber cairn]

gib missile gearskin or make torp skin work on it

[dire dawn]

add the message to the item of valentine gift. since the mail gets deleted when we delete viewed mails " i'd like to delete viewed mail to make it easier for me but i also want to re-read what my waifus say when giving me chocolate "

[golden coral]

maybe get rid of fleet tech requirements for PR ships whose BPs have become purchasable with coins

[hearty crane]

Click the mark as important button (wish I knew in 2020 though)

[somber cairn]

include skin background on ship portraits

[copper bolt]

do you mean when they use a skill on the backline or like the guild profile icons

[somber cairn]

i mean in the dock, and also face icon

[copper bolt]

cool

[somber cairn]

like here

want background over boring yellow thing

and like here too if possible

[lyric mulch]

a rework for the auto fill for commissions - let us filter which ships (not) to send out. auto fill sends my lvl 70 ships who can't gain exp due to not being limit broken :c

it would be very nice to, for example, only send ships who still need lvls for their retrofit, without the hassle of hand picking them

Also would be nice to be able to sell/exchange tech boxes. Now, they're just sitting in the depot because they're a pain to convert to gear and sell it all seperately.

[copper bolt]

you can unlock that specific ship if you don't want them selected for commissions

it's not as convenient as a sort/filter system like the auto retire system but it's a placeholder for now if u wish to do so

[lyric mulch]

yeah definitely, thanks for the tip

[hearty crane]

Or put them in a random HM fleet, 1-1 or so. But still a proper fix beats workarounds.

[lyric mulch]

I would really like "collection" under "memento" to be expanded, i had a lot of fun with it until now.

Same thing for Faction Tech, it's a shame only the four major factions get it, and iron blood maxes out at 1800??

Finally, my dumbass scrapped ships i should've kept. It's been a real hassle to find out which ships I'm actually missing, since the archives isn't accurate anymore.

Would be nice to have a "in dock" icon in the archives :)

[lyric mulch]

smart, but atm i have 96 unique lvl 70 ships without limit break

so just prioritising lowest lvl ships, but who can gain exp would be a great fix

[copper bolt]

iron blood tech points/ship are doubled to compensate currently because despite being a "major" faction, they still have less ships than HMS who has not had that many new ships recently. If it were updated, would you be happy if they rolled back this "doubling" of tech points?

[lyric mulch]

I didn't know that! Yes, I think it would be better. I like achievement hunting!

[somber cairn]

that'd make it harder for new players to unlock kms PRs so no

just leave it as is imo

[lyric mulch]

Oh right I haven't thought of that! Great point

could just cut the KMS PR requirements in half though, right?

[somber cairn]

yeah that would be fine

[dire dawn]

already too late

[ornate basin]

try to word your feedback as a statement, not an open ended question

[lyric mulch]

alright. my bad.

The amount of submenus, shops, and their refresh times are making my head hurt. I would like them to be merged (based on refresh time) and accessible from a single menu. In that addition, a notification icon for when such a shop has new items would be nice.

[lyric mulch]

i believe this is better :)

[scenic lodge]

Why exactly is THIS a thing?

Like, why is this boss ability specifically paired with the weakpoint it was designed to defend against?

If the boss abilities and weaknesses are randomly generated, then the ability to (effectively) prevent all damage to which the boss's weakness is set to shouldn't ever have been made possible in the game's code.

this combination has forced me to use carriers in order to defeat this boss as they're the only reliable way to damage it, effectively costing me 150 AP to even challenge this siren node (100 for entering, and another 50 to Rest and Regroup to clear the tolls of war), all because my BB boss fleet kept being reduced to dealing 1 damage from all their attacks.

[wheat yoke]

+1

[hasty mountain]

a new filter option "not max intimacy" to quickly select those ships for affection farming

[somber cairn]

abyssals are pretty easy tho, if too difficult just manual

[hearty crane]

Though unless you specifically clicked the button to clean inbox it should still be at the very bottom so you might still save it that way.

[hearty crane]

Also "not max morale" to quicken filling the dorm, especially since Hard Fleet maps during events can be all over the place rather than ontop like Normal map fleets.

[hasty mountain]

even better, add to all fleet selector components (normal/hard mode) a button "add to dorms", instantly set all 6 ships to dorms second floor

[hearty crane]

cries in 4 slots

[trail flax]

Honestly rerun was slightly a disaster

One week to clear with all stages locked.
Can Manjuu make it unlockable as in Arknights for past events?

Azur Lane at current state is more of a job than game to be honest.

[copper bolt]

does the war archives not do this already?

[trail flax]

Nope

Still need reclear from very start

Which is getting tiring to be honest

[copper bolt]

fair enough, just your wording made it seem like you just wanted the stages available which is what war archives does

[trail flax]

Sorry for bad wording

[copper bolt]

np, just wanted to clarify your suggestion

[hasty mountain]

it definitely needed to at the very least cut in half the clear requirements since the duration is cut in half as well

I only unlocked SP by the third day which is like a third of the max possible points from SP gone by virtue of having to re-clear maps , though I still was able to clear point rewards considering I've had very limited play time during the event

[copper nest]

And don't put outdated shops there anymore 💀

[regal elm]

The milestone reward is cut by half tho

[hollow sand]

can we get some more fleets pls
500+ ships and only 6 fleets
i will buy additional fleets with gems

[fierce ember]

would be nice if literal QOL wasnt locked behind another paywall
and fleet slots is only QOL by all means

[hearty crane]

Barely any content even uses the 6 fleets though, its always make a new one. Hard, OPS, META, Guild, Raids...

[hollow sand]

well in that case we only need 2 fleets then and only 1 sub fleet

[slate monolith]

Would it be possible to have two sub fleets in a map one day?

[hollow sand]

probably not

i want extra fleets so i can have at least 1 for each faction and some waifu fleets
right now i got baguette, hms, uss 1 and 2, a level up fleet and a waifu fleet
cant have anything else without having to rearrange everything every time

[fierce ember]

except the point is about time wasted to just re-setup a fleet when you need some switches
i am a faction fleet user and you can easily make 2 fleets per faction with different role or setup,if i want to use a different one i need to fully switch every single thing,and i currently already have at least 9-10 full fleet setups i need to keep in my head when doing so,its just rather annoying considering all it takes for the game is a set of references
and i am pretty sure even non-faction users also struggle from it when you have above 50 fully leveled and geared ships they often need to fully switch out on

[flint imp]

nerf final counter

[hearty crane]

OPS BETA had that... Rip all of us getting extra gear for a second sub fleet when release version didn't have that.

[hearty crane]

I got 4 fleets... 2 for w13/14, 2 for 1:1 events normal stages. Barely swap them since most things require me to make a new fleet entirely anyway... idea would be better if we could auto-slot them in HM mode for example.

[fluid grotto]

i think you mean buff

[flint imp]

nerf

[fluid grotto]

[vagrant laurel]

Is this the place where we put positive feedback? Or do I just keep my happiness to myself and keep spending money to support?

[trail elk]

You can if you choose to

[copper bolt]

go ahead, feedback is feedback whether it is +ve or -ve. It's just most of the time, people are more vocal about -ve feedback than +ve ones.

[vagrant laurel]

Thanks guys!

I really really like the recent changes that have been made. Introducing oil caps have made leveling so much more easier and faster. This allows me to enjoy different ships faster so I get to use more of the fleet overall. Also the clearing rewards makes it easier to keep up with coins.

I really love the quality of life improvements in OpSi, it makes me want to play the game mode more than I did before. I also really really love the way you’re handling reruns now, I still had to use some cubes to pull but I used a lot less than I would have otherwise and was able to save up a bit.

I enjoy the packs that you offer that are like $30 and offer lots of stuff, would love to see those more because I feel like I’m getting more than just buying gems and makes me spend way more than I would just buying gems alone. Especially because I always need things like cubes and skill books and high efficiency thingys.

Finally I really like the way you guys interact with the community in general. I always feel like I’m respected as a gamer and a human and not treated like a cash cow. You implement user feedback and actively try to make the game better. Thanks so much for your hard work and if there’s anything I can do to help support you guys I’d love to do it!

[uneven jewel]

i think he want it to keep his ships as display

like i do

also

switching fleets every single time is boring

MOAR SECRETARY SLOTS

[velvet adder]

like how we have a mission tab in opsi can we have a shop tab, that just pools all the shops so i dont have to visit dock by dock since it does take time

or better yet just charge me 20k oil and have it all auto complete so i dont have to do it at all

[fluid grotto]

[copper bolt]

thanks for implementing map progress carrying over for event reruns and SP auto search

[fleet salmon]

[copper nest]

That's very very good, I hope it also applies to future war archives

[dire dawn]

I have a lot of claimed mails a'd they annoyed so deleted all viewed wich included valentine mail.

[fluid grotto]

why stop there, sp skip ticket

[velvet adder]

mails being correctly sorted in mail would be nice too theyre usually sorted by date but if u scroll down too much some mails just keep getting more and more burried

i guess a load all mail and sort button would fix it

[dire crest]

How about releasing a Vanguard Meta ship… so helena meta is not the lone META vanguard released…

[copper bolt]

They don't take feedback on new ships unfortunately

[dire crest]

@copper bolt ah ok thanks for letting me know

[plain coral]

office lady skins when?

[void schooner]

Maybe someday, maybe never.

They don't take feedback on new skins, though.

[hollow sand]

does sp mean speed?
cause the running symbol is used for eva
and that makes me wonder if these are even accurate?
cause lusty has 30 speed and 53-55 eva but rank d
while bearn has 21 speed and 36-37 eva but rank c

[scenic flower]

SP is Evasion here, iirc. But this is wrong chat for the gameplay questions.

[hollow sand]

yea i thought i was in gameplay help but this could be something that needs to be fixed or improved if its not actually accurate so i left it here lol

then again in this case bearn has higher rank than lusty with lower stats so it def has to be wrong unless theres something else to it which gph might know more

[slate monolith]

SP is speed/evasion

[scenic flower]

Yeah, there's not enough consistency. And this chart is broken and lying anyway. I'd like them to reconsider it and add some numbers.

[slate monolith]

They just don't show the Evasion stats though

Granted speed is not always evasion though

[somber cairn]

yeah stat wheels are utter garbage and could use a complete overhaul

[hollow sand]

guess i wont use these stat things and just go off the wiki

[lament dune]

Website scam link

[ornate basin]

report through belfast bot, not in this channel

and especially dont post the link

we do not take feedback on ships, please review our pinned message

[scenic flower]

When switching between normal mode and hard mode in campaign, I'd like to jump to the screen with last mission I played. At the moment it works stupid. An example:
My last (and completed) normal mode lvl is 13-4; my hard mode last (and completed) lvl is 11-4. When I' m trying to swith to hard mode, the game sends me to W12, though, I don't want to conquer it yet (I'm farming 11-4 for now). When I switch back to normal mode, it sends me to W11, which is wrong again, coz I'm farming W13. Could you please do something?

[wheat yoke]

^ +1

[somber cairn]

add more canteen/merchant/lecture hall levels for every 5 commander levels over 100

up to like... 140 i guess

[viral furnace]

Damn, every time I see Kronstadt, I think that there is some dirt on my screen. Please, don't add moles to future ships.

[raw quest]

Sorry, but keep in mind that we don't take suggestions for new ships, events, retrofits, skins, as well as release order/reruns of old events.

[fierce ember]

want to give a thumbs up for once for this feature,wasnt as widely asked and wont be widely used but still nice to have
at least gives some hope people are heard once in a while

[golden coral]

add a toggle button for META assist barrage

[copper bolt]

You mean for your own boss?

Since that's the only time it appears

[copper nest]

😐

of course

[golden coral]

ye

[copper bolt]

What would be the purpose of toggling the barrage? Is it only to test you own fleet's performance? If so are support battles not good enough for that? Since everyone wants to kill their own boss asap for sync points right?

[fluid grotto]

i think the feedback alr clear, why even questioning those

probably in addition to bring back leave button for own meta, oil cost applied like usual, to save the player the trouble from hard resetting the stage just to keep the boss hp intact

[quiet canyon]

I really dislike the last rerun event only lasting a week, and on top of that, doing more events/UR ship releases so quickly. Not sure if that's to force whaling for cubes or what, but it was very unfun. As a late game player I was usually sitting around 200-300 cubes between events, spending most of them for an event, then slowly building back up in-between events/reruns. But if this is how they'll be doing it from now on it'll allow no time to recover resources.

[tired tree]

hardmode monthly boss is way too hard

[rustic plank]

almost as if, it's called "hard" mode

[tired tree]

THIS BOSS MUST BE NERFED

this shit is unkillable!

i use full 125 lvl tier 0 ships and best equiped gear if posible

[void schooner]

I feel like we've been through this before. With this exact same person. #gameplay-help seems to be where you need to go for help.

[uneven jewel]

t0 doesn't do anything if you have nonsensical comps and odd gear choices

[tired tree]

They didn't helped me in gameplay help

[uneven jewel]

you dropped in with a screenshot, said "my fleet sucks at hardmode opsi" and that was just about it

you didn't give any gear loadouts or state where you fleets actually struggle, so how do you expect that people help you with this?

[rustic plank]

oh and the "fuck opsi", or "opsi too hard" in gph

[plush geyser]

It's a bit too easy I hardly need to do any opsci to do it, make a even harder version please

[thorny stump]

When doing rerun events with those general blueprints in the exchange shop ... please make it series 4 general blueprints and not series 2 or other types general blueprints ... series 4 gives the player flexibility to choose among all existing PR ships

[scenic flower]

I bet they did it on purpose, just to give some disadvantage to older players while giving some advantage to the newbies.

[eternal bronze]

YES

OPS needs to be hard

[velvet adder]

older bps should not exist post new ones being made

[eternal bronze]

keep it that way

[velvet adder]

sure the legacy ones in ur storage can stay

but they should always give the newest copy in the shop anyone know if jp/cn got the same?

and if cn/jp likewise cried about it

[scenic flower]

If hard OPSI exist, make it worth suffering. The rewards are SHIT.

[hasty musk]

bro, since i join this server discord i always see you complaining and madge about everything in azur lane at most channel. I assume you really not enjoying your time playing azur lane. Why not uninstall and find something that you pretty much enjoy

[velvet adder]

no joke the opsi rewards are like id make more gold plates begging on the side of the dock

i mean this guy is right i need to manual out of my mind with 125's to try to kill this boss

the last boss even summoned a literal meat shield that was just there to take my carrier torps

the sirens are too smart, they have regressed and cheated too far this time, they know how to beat auto and have gotten pretty damn well good at it

i think we need to step them back a few cycles and stop the cheese mechs

or we need an actual meta that isnt dogshit to actually fight these sirens, they have seen the future but its like our meta ships have been drinking too much in their spare time

no wonder the metas lost in their timeline, they are actual trash

i need LORE FRIENDLY METAS

metas that have seen their future and can adapt to beat mine i rest my case

[scenic flower]

yeah, I still hope they rework the useless META ships

[velvet adder]

kinda SUSSY if you ask me

gimme 1 sec i think it could be due to this option

auto search battery saver, maybe its this thing

i think it does change brightness

[modest island]

Its for the auto search battery saver function thats bugged
What it does is set the game to 50% of screen brightness and 30 fps, but for most users their brightness is < 50% and 30 fps so it increases it and therefore wastes more battery

Hence why its bugged

[primal yew]

Skill Animations turn off when

[velvet adder]

people have their brightness below 90%? what is wrong with them

do they live in a lightless cave

also yes add meta ships that are actually lore friendly and learned from their terrible past (losing to the sirens) maybe they can bring something good to the table instead of just transferring over from when they lost (ie they were useless and lost already)

[maiden crest]

in Auto Search mode, it would be helpful if the Subs also moved with the fleet. there could be an option to save 1 sub ammo for the Boss.

[hollow sand]

Just had a good idea
It's getting to the point where the default dock space is getting too low for the f2p players
Instead of increasing the dock space why not make it so bulins don't take up any dock space

[void schooner]

It's been suggested before.

[copper bolt]

It's more to clarify the reasons why the suggestion is beneficial/should be implemented as it was just "add a toggle button for META assist barrage". If it fell under the practice boss suggestion, it could be added to that rather than its own feedback card.

[fluid grotto]

the benefit alr self explanatory

[cursive horizon]

I'm sure it's been suggested, if not sent to Feedback before, but throwing out a request for Oil Cap on War Archives. Hard Mode oil cap if nothing else. I know the SOS has already been suggested, I've seen the card, but wasn't sure if War Archives has a card yet.

[wheat yoke]

I'm not even sure why the card I written didn't get posted in #collected-feedback
Didn't get a dm from belfast about it either but

Threre's a card for sos 9-5 and 10-5 to have oil cap already

[tawdry sparrow]

If "Arkhangelsk" is a former HMS "Royal Sovereign", then why do her main guns on the art look like 203mm SK/C34?

[hearty crane]

Damn russian cracked apps inventing timetravel to turn the FSB back again But yeah, the "save energy" is a perfect example of "Good idea, TERRIBLE implementation"

[copper bolt]

you can ask a mod to check what's happened to it though usually you have to wait at least 24-48 hrs first

[fierce ember]

the purpose of "hard" version is provide slightly higher challenge but not lock newer player from missing out on rewards
its basically challenge for the sake of it
but i am strongly against any idea of making content that is based on full BIS meta in any way shape or form

[hearty crane]

It offers fewer rewards than the "all ages" version precisely for that reason.

[fierce ember]

best bet is making a customisation-kind of challenge or just raw pre-defined major stat buffs/conditions but not lock actual rewards behind it
bcs again,using full rainbow fleets with +13 gear is not the "standard" its a "cheat code" and locking actualy good rewards behind "cheat code" is gonna indirectly harm 99% of players,those who even bother playing opsi in the first place

[fluid grotto]

very hard opsi when

[proud snow]

Why no more notification for loan skin expiration? Is it me or is it that you removed notification for it? I borrowed Grozy skin with the ticket but then it expired and I didn't any notification regarding that. I would have notice it and buy it after the end of the loan period expired.

One more thing, regarding the recent "lite" rerun event, can we not have "lite" rerun? The normal rerun hasn't been an issue. I dun understand why there must be a "lite rerun" instead of a normal one. I need an explanation for this.

[acoustic helm]

Notification working fine. Can confirm myself

[proud snow]

The issue is that I never seen such thing. Twice. I seen it before this event.

[acoustic helm]

Maybe something on your end.. maybe recheck settings

[cunning basalt]

Add a option to disable skin changes after retrofitting. I find it somewhat annoying that if I switch for example Chang Chun's fleet position the skin is changed to the Retrofit even when I already have her retofitted, but have the default skin selected.

[proud snow]

What setting? I dun see any setting. I didn't turn off any setting related to it.

[acoustic helm]

Maybe someone more experienced can help you

[proud snow]

Who can help me?

Hello, anyone here?!

[summer spindle]

#tech-support

[fickle solstice]

oh, yeah, this is definitely an oversight. should probably file a bug/suggestion for that

[hearty crane]

Cause it already takes 18-24 months to rerun and its only going to become more if they keep it as is.

[uneven jewel]

Let us divorce ships. I don't even want the ring back

[fickle solstice]

i just dislike the fact that i cant clear shop as easily

[proud snow]

This has always been this way. It's not a bug for sure but we can change that.

[fickle solstice]

which is why it's a defect introduced by the ddg swapping update

[proud snow]

At least make this "lite" rerun at least as good as the previous one then. This is the first time I have complains regarding AL event. It's actually worse than the previous one. The word "lite rerun" is not helpful when you are going to make rerun in this format from now on.

[fickle solstice]

id rather have quantity over quality. reruns are boring if you've done them already

[proud snow]

Also, is this the only place that I can complain or suggest improve for this rerun? Because I dun see that our voice are being heard on this channel

[fickle solstice]

technically nothing actually happens until you make a formal suggestion to the dev team

we have a bot for that

with that said, don't suggest vague things

if you have an idea of what specifically needs to change, you can discuss it here, get the problems ironed out with other people's perspectives, then make a suggestion to the bot

[proud snow]

OK. Come to think of it. Other the wording of "lite rerun" is confusing, I feel that the rerun rn is too short. How long was it again?

[fickle solstice]

one week

[proud snow]

Too short. Way too short.

[fickle solstice]

normally it's two weeks

[proud snow]

At least more than one week. It's too short.

Also, one thing that upsets me the most is that there's no longer popup for when the rent skin expires. There was such a thing before. Why dun have it anymore? I only know that my Grozny rent skin expires today when it expired quite a while ago.

[copper nest]

maybe you just missed it?

[proud snow]

No. It wasn't even there when I use my first ticket and it expired.

[fickle solstice]

i dont remember seeing it either, but i also dont care about skin rentals so there's that

[proud snow]

I wanna complain but this channel isn't helping. The devs are not getting the message. Where else can I go to?

[fickle solstice]

if it's a bug, you can just submit a bug report

maybe check with #bug-reports for confirmation first

and the trello to make sure it's not already submitted

[proud snow]

Trello is huge. How am I supposed to know?

Also, I doubt that it's a bug. I think that they might have removed it.

[fickle solstice]

search feature.

[proud snow]

Nothing about it. Also, what if it's not a bug?

[fickle solstice]

then you make a game suggestion

[proud snow]

Where?

[fickle solstice]

it's !submit command in #bot-spam

both bugs and features

[proud snow]

Ah, I actually chatting with the bot now. Is it ok too?

Done but I'm feeling uneasy about this. I'm afraid devs dun listen.

[copper bolt]

top right there is a discord search feature (on desktop), you go to #collected-feedback then use the in:(channel name) feature and type a keyword that is related to a card you're looking for e.g. opsi or rerun

[proud snow]

I tried. Looks like none. I mentioned it alr jn.

[copper bolt]

submitting a feedback from 1 person =/= they will act on it immediately. Especially for one about event duration since changing event durations would mess up any timetable they've set for events. Also just because the devs are silent about it, does not mean they do not take it into consideration. It's just how they work, if they responded to every feedback, imagine how much time they'd spend not developing the game

[proud snow]

Anyway, I will do it regardless. Also, I have alr done it. Their schedule is for them to arrange properly. It's their job. It's also their job to make the game better. This is not a good excuse to not look into suggestions from community. You dun need to be a white knight for them.

[copper bolt]

I'm not saying they won't look at it, only that if they do decide it is worth changing, the effects will be seen later down the line rather than immediately.

That's just how feedback works, it's probably too late to change any imminent events

[proud snow]

Well, better than nothing at all. That's all I'm saying. I'm not expecting immediate response.

[copper bolt]

I'm not saying do nothing anyway we should go #off-topic

[proud snow]

It's not off topic. It's about the issues that I have with the changes of this game. I'm an veteran player of this game and am not pleased with the changes they made.

[copper bolt]

No one is arguing about your feedback. Therefore we should go #off-topic

[proud snow]

Ok. Understood but I gotta sleep. Gn.

[tired tree]

nerf that shield from arbiter
though

[hearty crane]

Repeatable retrofits haven't even been in the game for a month. Its probably the default skin of the new ships they get changed into...

[tired tree]

lower absorb from 160k to 80k pls. this is annoying

you overdone it

[acoustic helm]

I was able to beat her barely( multiple meta 125 ships and maxed out gear) I have to say that shield is extremely problematic...either lower the health or only deploy once..

[fluid grotto]

need harder version

[proud snow]

Oh yeah, I forgot that the DDG retrofit thing is a bit more unique than the normal ones.

[copper bolt]

Feedback on opsi monthly boss: Keep at this level of difficulty, the different mechanics are simple and keeps it interesting. It's hard enough where you have to think a bit about it but not so hard that you need multiple lvl 125s to clear it. (Personally I run a mish mash of ships at mostly lvl 120 and a random mob fleet w/ subs and I am able to clear the monthly boss after swapping some gear around and going into manual mode after just throwing my fleets into it one time and getting it down to 30% without subs).

[velvet adder]

opsi takes so long, even with strategic search

maybe make strategic search be sped up by like 2-3x?

its fully auto anyway

you could even remove ship travel and just have them skip(teleport) around

or have all the pick up items just automatically picked up at once

[acoustic helm]

Ye, after playing it for a year Shit is getting annoying..Def better than before but can use more optimization

[velvet adder]

yeah theres definitely a lot of optimizations they could make for it

just a lot of minor things that would take a lot of the time out of it

[acoustic helm]

Exactly

[formal oyster]

So, this pops up every battle once you hit coin cap. Except I have nothing to spend gold on and I still want to xp so....
Just put a "confirm" thing so that it goes away please. Like, fast. We gain so much gold now (which is good I guess) but if that means it becomes ultra annoying to play the game then no thanks.

Or remove coin hard cap I don't know, but get that thing away pretty please.

[velvet adder]

buy catboxes or just spend it in the shop on anything of value

but i agree, there litrerally isnt anything worthwhile spending coins on and it sucks

600k is so easy to hit

[formal oyster]

Yeah I'm almost glad now that gear boxes are so inexplicably expensive in shop. But still, don't want to have to do that every hour

Especially since cat boxes or gear boxes are useless to me, I'd rather spend gold on something useful or nothing at all.

[velvet adder]

i mean gearboxes are only worth opening and selling for gold anyway so its like buying coins with coins for 10x the price

[formal oyster]

Ah but we can only buy 15 cat boxes per day, which is roughly 18k coins per day with the free one. Sooo not nearly enough to compensate my income

[dreamy galleon]

would be nice if PvP speeds up more when both sides only have Enterprise left
I know it probably doesn't happen often but I just watched them 1v1 for 3 minutes

[blazing heart]

Just reset your cat talents and your gold is down the drain in no time

[formal oyster]

Yeah but I don't care about cats

[fierce ember]

idea is good,execution is too much layered RNG and stat values are a meme

[fluid grotto]

dont think these are memes

[fierce ember]

yeah,lets ignore what is accepted by majority,ignore the cost and chances to get that setup and keep defending a clearly outdated mechanic bcs why not?

[fluid grotto]

still not a meme stat

[fierce ember]

for 500k+ coins its a meme
plus combined % values of two maxed cats arent even passed 5%,when ship buffing skills start at 10% and can go up to 25-30% depending on what and who they buff
let alone maxing two cats is a feat to do

[fluid grotto]

coins are easy to farm now anyway

and it's universal buff unlike most skills

[fierce ember]

more excuses for it to not be actually good?

[fluid grotto]

and maxing cats like super easy with new dorm

wdym excuse, it's actually that easy now

dont you see ppl complaining on lack of coins sink cus how easy it is to farm

[scenic flower]

None cats worth spending gold on them. There is a ton of other stuff for that.

[fluid grotto]

if you dont want to minmax then just skip

[scenic flower]

I want, but there's not enough gold for them.

[fierce ember]

super easy with dorm
dorm at MAX LEVEL gives 1k exp per day and you need 824400 exp for one max lvl
you clearly are making excuses,again,for no reason
just why you keep defending every single thing people point out at

[fluid grotto]

just saying its not as bad as ppl been crying

[scenic flower]

they're not bad if u maxed them

[fierce ember]

just actually usable

[fluid grotto]

its far easier than before, i got like 8 lvl 30 cats now, wont be possible before the revamp

good job there dev

[scenic flower]

by "maxed" I meant not only lvl, but also skills

[fluid grotto]

id post cats here but thatd be #trophy-room

with coins revamp you can literally afford to rerolling cats everyday, unlike before where you need to wait till downtime while having excessed resources

you forgot 6% mg crit rate too

[fierce ember]

HP,accuracy,ASW
they also exist,for no reason other then to bloat pool

ppl keep forgetting cats actually have skills and cats arent just for RNG talents

[fluid grotto]

meant to be end game coins sink

[fierce ember]

Decreases the fleet's chance of running into an Ambush based on the Logistics stat.
1% less ambush chance
Increases the EVA of your CVs and CVLs by a small amount based on the Logistics stat.
1 evasion stat for a carrier,an actual skill for it
please?its been 3 years with absolutely 0 updates for them

[fluid grotto]

just go for talent

[reef ginkgo]

just skip cats until endgame

[quiet sierra]

Cats r dum

[final jewel]

can we get a nose boop voice line for secretary ships /s

[fleet salmon]

Crying that there's no gold sink while ignoring the biggest one is pretty

[velvet adder]

i dont think cats were ever designed to be an endgame coin sink just a method to try to scam people out of coins so they have to buy them to build

cats were made way before coins were made super easy to get

i think the fact they were so expensive relatively back then is one reason they were never improved on, nobody ever reset talents as it was a massive coin sink, nobody ever bought them cos it was a massive coin sink

nobody could really afford them so they just became a dead mechanic and ignored since release pretty much

[fluid grotto]

i could

[velvet adder]

yeah but they were alongside building for events, and paying for research

which were both higher priority than cats

so they were just burried by other priorities

i mean i was doing 2 10 hour coin comms a day and barely kept up with research whilst gaining coins very slowly for builds

[fluid grotto]

who does long comm in 2022

you could farm more lots with same amount of oil just by autoing w12/13

[velvet adder]

yeah i meant back in the day

when coins were actually rare

nobody did cats because 1. they spent coins to build 2. they spent coins on research 3. coins were only easily accessible from 10 hour comms

[hearty crane]

Too much oil, cant be bothered to play all day to use it up... 1200 oil comm passive is much more convient. Also cats SUCK.

[fluid grotto]

laugh in more dmg

[hearty crane]

We got 1 person here saying they are great and about 10 saying they suck... but sure, don't improve them. Anyway since I have enough cog chips we should never add more sources. That's how this works, right?

[copper bolt]

Noones saying don't improve it.

[somber cairn]

cats rng should be improved, but he's right that cats do give rather significant buffs if minmaxed it's an endgame minmaxer thing.

[fluid grotto]

[somber cairn]

their base skill scaling should be improved ig, rn skills mean jack all and talents are massive. should be more balanced out.

only useful skills i care about are % to shred hp

[copper bolt]

It's just different people play the game in different ways so different mechanics affect different people to varying amounts. Some will be more vocal than others but it doesn't mean you can just disregard the opposing opinions because both are equally valid.

[somber cairn]

[fluid grotto]

need more coggies

[copper bolt]

What would you say is a good balance? Because if they're too OP, everyone would have a greater incentive to roll cat talents in this (currently kinda awful) system.

If there was no reset timer for talents I don't think anyone would mind more OP cat buffs but at the same time it's an end game thing right

Big investment for marginal (but worth it) gains

[fluid grotto]

coggies from weekly

[somber cairn]

well we could improve cat rng (allow reroll more than once a day, and lower the cost of doing so i guess) and at least triple the cat skill scalings bc most of the skills are junk due to low scaling, they give like +1 eva

[copper bolt]

Makes sense, ngl, I would like to know the frequencies of different talents at different cat levels and talents

Would be nice to disclose too

[fierce ember]

how about removing rng?,like letting you choose a talent you want instead of this

[copper bolt]

There wouldn't be much point in "rerolling then" unless its like a tech tree system? That could be interesting. You have a certain amount of pts you can spend and better talents cost more points but u need to have certain pre requisites for them.

[somber cairn]

before oilcap i wouldve agreed, but nowadays its one of the main endgame player coin sinks to help them stay below 600k

how about a pity spark where after like 20 rerolls, you get to pick any talent you want ?

also i think choosing all talents would be way too easy unless it cost like 100k coin per talent chosen

god cats give significant buffs and should be a sign of dedication ig. rn it's too rng, but my ideas would lessen that rng, no? i still dont think they should be handed out for free

[fierce ember]

having more ways to get coins doesnt justify this
ah yeah right,if we could choose the talent we would end up picking every single talents
kinda tells how bad it is

[somber cairn]

getting a god cat should feel special

[fierce ember]

except otherways cats are useless if you dont have a god cat

[somber cairn]

because even a half decent cat already provides solid buffs, so you're not missing that much, and you dont ever need cats for any content in the game

[fierce ember]

solid buffs?they at best possible talent set provide HALF of aux item worth of stats,like 50 avi or 50 FP
unless obviously you get the 3% dmg buff which everyone aims for

[somber cairn]

with god cats you get around 20-25% dps increase to your choice of bbs, cvs, or ddgs

with decent cats it's around 10-12% i suppose. in total i mean, not per cat.

[fierce ember]

20%?doesnt feel like it,and even if it is its just most of that comes from flame alone

[somber cairn]

lets take 2 bb godcats they give a total of 6% dmg, 94 fp, 6% crit rate, and like 4-5% all stats (innately from the cat stats) + whatever skill the cats have.

94 fp on a 700 fp bb is 11.75% dmg increase on its own

now here's the thing, a decent cat set will still give 64 fp and 2-4% all stats, which should be around +10% dps. that's with relatively common talents, and missing both flame and soulful

[uneven jewel]

cats are great. people are just too lazy to commit or get into it. but I support improved mechanics for rerolling. either very high costs to chose a specific talent (too easy), or some pity or other mechanic

[fierce ember]

13% stat increase doesnt give you 11.75% damage increase,plus again even if we say i am incorrect,its literally one aux worth of stats for insane commitment you need to go through

[uneven jewel]

sounds fine to me. high commitment for a very good stat boost that's also not necessary for the current content. imagine if you'd need strong cats for content. if people want to commit to getting good cats is fine, and it's not even that hard. literally just get one good base cat and reroll it a few times. I only ever bought about 30 cat boxes with coins and still have 3-4 almost perfect cats. if you commit you can get them relatively fast, and coins are plenty enough to reliably reroll

[somber cairn]

8.94/8.00 = 1.1175

[somber cairn]

yepyep i support giving a pity/spark system where after X rerolls you can select 1 talent you want. still lost if you reroll again ofc

[uneven jewel]

new cool cats, trim down useless skills/make specific cats have smaller pools (e.g., no DD talents on a BB cat) and some way to make rerolling a little bit more bearable

[somber cairn]

yeah remove useless talents from the pools would help. also improve the initial base talent pool of some cats like pound and lime pls.

[fierce ember]

maybe that instead of directly picking them,but still its not justification in over their current state

[somber cairn]

cat system overall could use some looking at yeah, i dont think it's been adjusted since it was added

[uneven jewel]

and tbh, this is probably a very unpopular opinion, especially due to how rng cats are: but a good/perfect cat is one of the last truly difficult and interesting things/flexes in the game. everything else is down to how much of a boomer you are or push button -> receive bacon

[fierce ember]

pretty sure bishamaru has the biggest pool,might be both

[somber cairn]

i agree with this

[fierce ember]

everything else is down to how much of a boomer you are or push button -> receive bacon
interesting things/flexes in the game
this system has a potential to bring something to the table that ships themselves cant,yet,i keep getting this argument about that stats are everything from them,and ppl keep looking at them as nothing else then stat dumpsters or dont look at all
how +X stat is interesting in this case

[uneven jewel]

yeah but I'm fine with them just being overly luxurious stat dumpster like tech fleet

[fierce ember]

but why?why TF it has to be like that,they are considered to be a side-kick rather then how ships,gear or anything else in fleetbuilding is

[somber cairn]

i also said i wanted their skills to be useful and diverse

[uneven jewel]

and I'm proud of the fact that all my accumulated tech points and cats basically just amount to me permanently having almost 2 bonus shells on my BBs, for example. it's the same like I play mmos to grind gear for that little power spike. just feels good to me. and some cats can be super helpful, like the ones that can damage foes prior to a fight. sadly on the developers that half the cat talents are either useless or too specific

[fierce ember]

cat barrages also dont scale from anything apart from just that bit of stats cat can have rather then from a fleet with a 15% proc chance that is probably lowest out of all barrages ships have

[fluid grotto]

ppl wants the easiest stuff for biggest buff

[somber cairn]

okay

[uneven jewel]

I don't want to gate keep people out of stuff. I'm proud of the work I put into my account and I think its great that stuff like 120s, fleet tech, research etc. are much easier and approachable now. same like i wouldn't mind a cat qol overhaul. I just don't like that most people seemingly don't even try and just further want the same without even trying

[somber cairn]

ive seen predamage go to 13% or so and none of my cats are lvl30 yet

subs can get up to 20-25%, and stacks with cats (like 15% max prolly), and missile (10%). that's already pretty huge lol

i think that giving cats more 'skill levels' (like how we level their skill up to 3 max atm) which boost procrate from 15% to like 35% would be nice. requires investment for a notable reward.

[fierce ember]

one overwrites the other,if you proc hunting mode from a sub and your justice procs a % hit only one applies,same goes for missle

[somber cairn]

no lol, it got changed when missiles were added

you can get like -40% hp on a node nowadays

[stone valley]

As a female player, I kinda wish the game wasn’t gated towards the commander being a male

[copper nest]

It was worse in the past iirc
But yeah agreed, could be better for us, but we are tiny tiny tiny minority so nothing will change most likely 💀

[velvet adder]

isnt the game fine for female commanders? i mean en version deliberately made changes to make it gender neutral compared to cn and jp

[fierce ember]

there's specifically 3 mentions of commanders gender,one of which i remember being FDG who calls us "boya" implying young male
but i dont think it has any kind of impact and might be redconned soon anyways,dont see any problems with it

[raw quest]

nevada: shounen

[somber cairn]

same

[velvet adder]

well yeah like i said in jp/cn versions they dont care about anything gender neutral, its only en that has attempted it

[somber cairn]

i do appreciate that but there's always room for improvement, and some shipgirls do drop male pronouns and the like

[velvet adder]

in jp/cn the commander is male and thats it

so unless you dub the characters i mean what they say in jp is always going to be male

[somber cairn]

not a big issue or anything i just agree that's all

[velvet adder]

the textboxes are pretty much the only changes that could happen for en versions

unless the game as a whole changes over all 3 versions from the top

[somber cairn]

yeah i meant the textboxes

[velvet adder]

i didnt realise there were things in that implied male commander

[timber grotto]

[ionic matrix]

I'd love an update to the gear lab that lets us upgrade T1 gear to T2 gear to T3 gear.

[hearty crane]

We have 3 sub cats... don't blame you though, Gral is 100% garbage.

[copper bolt]

just to clarify, do you mean just the tier number on the gear without changing the actual rarity or stats of it? E.g. the gold quintuple magnetic iron blood torpedoes that can't be +13 because of their tier?

or bringing them up through each rarity

[hearty crane]

They're talking about parts, 98% sure. Or the blue version to purple to gold... 2% sure.

[copper bolt]

that's why I asked them to clarify their suggestion because they specifically mention "gear"

[ionic matrix]

bringing the actual gear up through the rarity tiers.

like for example, taking the blue T2 130mm guns found on the An Shan's and lots of the Russian DDs, and being able to use the gear lab to bring them up to the purple T3 variant.

though being able to upgrade gear parts from grey to purple would be nice too, but that's not what I was getting at above

[hasty mountain]

the one thing that needs to change about cats is that the UI experience needs to be redone, assigning them to fleets is a major hassle and you need to do it every single event, most of the time I don't even bother

[proud snow]

I believe that the previous event that got a "lite rerun" deserve a proper rerun for fairness. This is ridiculous. Sacrificing old events for the sake of speed is not the way.

I believe that Northern Overture deserves a proper rerun, not a discounted version in the name of speeding up the rerun schedule.

[void schooner]

I'd take a light rerun of Fallen Wings and Winter's Crown though. Purely for selfish reasons.

[bold pier]

Just an idea: What if every game mode (story, story hard mode, opsi, event) had their own duplicated version of our equipment depot? So that we don't have to switch equipment back and forth when we have different equipment settings for different game modes?
Example: I use Sirius and Kazagumo exclusively in OPSI. But I need the equipment they use there on other ships, when I play different modes. So every time I switch the game mode I play, I have to move their equipment.

[copper nest]

Idk, it could apply to pvp, but for everything else it kinda defeats point of farming/getting a lot of gear

[bold pier]

I mean, I generally grind multiple versions of gear to be able to field them multiple times in the same sortie (which would still be the case if they implemented that). Not just so that I have to swap less.

Or I should say, that's how I would like/imagine it to be. Of course, I'm currently sitting on 28 steam catapults, because I use so many different carriers (depending on the game mode I'm playing) and I don't want to swap them every few sorties.

[proper cape]

i’d like pr3 bps purchasable with coins this year pls

[velvet adder]

cats should just be dumbed down

so then you can just assign the cats regardless

just give a flat 5% damage buff at level 30 but they have morale

[hearty crane]

Yeah agreed. Often I forget, or cant be bothered. You should be able to assign both at once rather than needing to open for one, then the other. Search for commander/staff cat (why we do not have that but non-existant nations beats me).

[somber cairn]

5% is too weak

[velvet adder]

20%

actually make the cats our secretaries that acompany us instead

and shred all the cats for coins

meowficcer office is now secretary bunk dorm

[fluid grotto]

[hearty crane]

"5% too weak for one cat" People here: "6% for both is TOTALLY worth the 4 million coin investment I did". Which is it, secretely OP or too weak?

[velvet adder]

[fluid grotto]

hardly spent 200k

[somber cairn]

cats are a lot more than 6% for both, you're only looking at flame and ignoring the other 4 talents, the skills (albeit very minor), and the % to all stats bonus

also youll notice that ppl saying different things are also on different sides of the argument

[gray patrol]

awakening chips shortage is just too much pls do something about it

[reef ginkgo]

secretly OP tbh

[hasty mountain]

no no no, 5%, 6%, it's all too weak, please make them improve my fleets by at least 100% to be noticeable

[fluid grotto]

100% more coggies reward

[primal yew]

I just dont understand. If devs can release a ship with her first skin why just dont make it with an Oath skin so people stop complaining about their waifu aint got the damn Oath skin yet

[hearty crane]

Rings are cheaper than regular skins

[hasty mountain]

new ship released with oath skin as per suggestion
"omg why does X just released already have oath skin while my (insert any of the literally over 500 other characters here) got nothing "

[copper bolt]

if you think about it, that's double the artwork/sprite/voice lines that needs to be done. Totally possible to do but the time investment probably isn't worth doing this currently for the current return for the devs right?

[autumn fox]

the tweet announce has confusing phrasing, the first part says "SP stages" but then talks about A/B maps and "the SP stage"

[timid trench]

Is there honestly a reason to cap specialized core to 4000 every month? I think players even casuals are able to cap it within like 1-2 weeks and it is such a waste to not be able to pick up more of it. Especially the cores that are given out from the weekly missions after capping your monthly special core.

[slate monolith]

If there wasn't a cap they would grind it for the UR Bullins

[void schooner]

The cores you get from the weeklies should just go straight to the bank instead of counting toward the monthly cap. It'd be one less useless warning message you'd have to see.

[timid trench]

Agree with afro. Also I don't see why not just let the players grind the UR bullins. The only use of the specialised core is to get the UR bullins. Or If people are behind . The UR retro items

What if I want to be that guy that wants to MLB a page full of shimakaze

I feel like the system could be improved.

passively grinding it on the side just for 1 UR bullin a month is kinda lackluster

And on that contrary since moving forward into this year that were going to get more UR units than last year, I'm pretty sure players wouldn't mind having that peace of mind being able to stock up on more UR bullins

[copper bolt]

it used to be very difficult to reach the cap with the avg player only getting ~2k cores/month before they buffed the income to oblivion

[hearty crane]

Also with UR events dropping bullin at 30k and 6 more bulin from cruise missions I think we're still drowning in them... you realistically only ever need the 12 a year. Let alone if UR reruns give another while you don't need to spend on Shinano.

[vagrant laurel]

Thank you again for allowing me to buy another Lucky Pack!! My favorite way to get gems by far and I get a skin!!!

[scenic flower]

I don't really understand why do we need so much UR bullins. Maybe let us convert them to arrays?

[copper nest]

Just add arrays for cores instead, no extra step

[scenic flower]

OK, do it!

[hearty crane]

Who would ever buy bulin if you could array...

[modest storm]

Would be great if there is a button for "buy-all" event skin. Its very tedious to buy them all one by one every event.

[raw quest]

[ionic matrix]

can I bring up again how dumb it is that we can't collect stuff from mails individually? If I need coins but don't want the oil at that time, then let me take coins out of the mail and vice versa
because the hard cap on oil is preventing me from collecting coins from mail, and I don't necessarily want to spend all of that oil on dorm food...

[mental blaze]

idk what happens when developing the new skin for Kirov but the new skin removed all Kirov breasts, now she is a table lol

STOP FORCE UPDATING THE GAME WHILE I'M IN MID CUTSCENE!!! AT LEAST LET US COMPLETE OUR CUTSCENES BEFORE YOU FORCE THE GAME TO CLOSE!!!

[copper bolt]

It's done because some bugs are connected to cutscenes. As annoying as it is, you can just go to the memories archive and go back to where you left off. Not ideal but it's necessary.

[ionic matrix]

200 pity is too high. Should be 150 or something. Especially now that y'all want to do this four flipping times per year...

[copper nest]

it's done because "game out of date" doesn't care lol, it's not related to cutscenes bugs being there 😐

[copper bolt]

Which is a good thing because you don't want players on different versions of the game right. It could lead to more bugs. Better to force update everyone so everyone has the same game.

[copper nest]

why? it will ruin the schedule, it will ruin people's day because they waited for new event, we should be able to differentiate between game and real life

[copper bolt]

Would also reduce bug reports on things that are fixed on newer versions of the game right?

[copper nest]

meh, if it works it works, let me decide when I want to take update break, if something is gamebreaking then sure force us lol

[copper bolt]

I think it'd cause more problems than it would solve so w/e. If it can be done then why not.

Doesn't take long to relog after downloading a quick patch qnd return to where u are in the memories archive.

According to #al-lore there is no evidence that the Northern Parliament is Russia.

i mean all my sympathies to them but if they cant separate a video game from real life that's kinda their problem not manjuu's

[copper nest]

Nice music once again, can't wait to experience what's waiting in the other 3 stages (and maybe sp) 👍

BUT
why not next server reset pls...

[eternal bronze]

today i will tell a tale

a tale of no healing

KMS is too tanky
indeed they are
but in W14 even 15% damage reduction doens't work at all
my Roon dies after 2 nodes
and i wonder how they are so tanky to not need any healing
but
a faction of nowhere appeared
they have the tankiests DDs
a CB
and the best ship of a redacted class
when they got their healer no one complained
oh KMS when you will have your own healer

[hearty crane]

Yes. Added to ingame jukebox when please?

[ruby robin]

I appreciate the snappier responses from pretty much all inputs across the board. Thanks always for optimizations

[quick reef]

Who did she lie to, and what did she lie about… NO.. she lay in the chair, she was laid out in the chair.. she didn’t lie, though she probably has told some whoppers..
IF YOU NEED YOUR ENGLISH CHECKED, please ask..

[violet galleon]

I’m pretty sure that’s correct grammar. It’s in past tense

[copper bolt]

past tense of lie is lay.
Lied is the past tense and past participle of to lie (to make an untrue statement)

[hearty crane]

I was pointed to this on a slightly similar query in another event... maybe it's of use

[ionic matrix]

Is there a reason why we can't use the "hide background objects" on Kron's L2D skin? I want to hide the swole meowfficers, but ticking that box doesn't actually get rid of them with the L2D on

[leaden flower]

[hearty crane]

Does that ever do anything on L2D, it's just there for the non-L2D variation, no?

[raw quest]

no new dorm this event 😔

[velvet adder]

The past participle form is a common point of error. Many people accidentally use lied instead of lain when using the verb lie. Lied, however, refers to the past tense and past participle form of lie when it means “to make an untrue statement.”

its only lain if she had lain though

[plucky bluff]

Well I am really enjoying the story for this event.

I think the music, the background images, the personality snippets, and maybe the descriptions of the words when explaining stuff add up

[cursive horizon]

Yes, this is the heavy lore stuff that I just eat up. I especially like how they've been linking it back to the Tunguska explosion in both the actual story and the lore documents from OpSi.

[bold pier]

Still not a fan that level B, D, SP and EX are unlocked more than 24 hours after event start. I think it's unnecessary.

[hearty crane]

Could auto just drop out if it fails in Hidden Zones rather than go on massive murder sprees that only spawn more foes. I know some people use it to "farm META XP" but I don't think that''s a worthwhile reason to keep it.

[hearty crane]

I mean the patch we just got (about 4h after reset) has the B&D translation) so yeah...

[copper bolt]

it helps people who live in timezones that aren't catered to NA to "catch up" on stage progress so it's a bit fairer.

since personally, ik trying to rush unlocking the SP stage on a rerun takes quite a while...

[scenic flower]

Delete the movement restriction at the OPSI Abyssals! There's no point in them, as there's only stationary Siren boss.

[hearty crane]

On the other hand for us Euro's the second stage rush is a pain, as it starts at 8PM. And reset is 8AM, so timing it with good sleep can be a headache.

[copper nest]

Just unlock it at server reset 😐

[copper bolt]

can't satisfy everyone

[copper nest]

you can with unlocking it at server reset 😃

[somber cairn]

yep server reset is ideal

[ivory crag]

Belfast Kai pls?

[bold pier]

I'm not NA, I'm EU. And I can tell you, that this timer doesn't cause more fairness for us, it makes it even worse in fact. Having server reset at 8am is already a pain, but we are also only able to grind D starting today at 8pm. So if you already have something planned Friday evening (which quite a few have), you basically can only start grinding the next morning, loosing out another ~12 hours. Unlocking it with server reset would make so much more sense.

[copper bolt]

fair enough, i was more thinking of the SEA players since I'm also in EU.

but personal circumstances e.g. you're busy that evening. That's nothing the devs can account for because everyone would want different starting times. Because it's global, some people will win. Some people will lose. There's no 2 ways around that.

[copper nest]

what

once again, everyone wins if it will unlock at server reset 😃 😃 😃
everyone will have the entire day to go through 3 stages and sp

[split barn]

just realized we dont have new dorm stuff. ** I'm literally shaking and crying rn **

[scenic flower]

they must be thinking there's only Gulag in Russia

Also, I don't like literally every skin from this event.

[somber cairn]

how about just have it unlock when the event begins

[split barn]

idk, Kirov, Avro, Kron looks great

[somber cairn]

skins are subjective anyway

[copper nest]

sure but rushing to sp after maintenance (especially extended) is also horrible, if it was possible to store up to 2 sp attempts it would be manageable

[somber cairn]

yeah have sp store up to 2 attempts (or 3), with +1/day like usual

[earnest minnow]

give fleet lock when lethal pls

[velvet adder]

if you dont wanna give us auto search at lethal then at least allow us to queue up movements/battles
