i always wonder
how many other T3 prints i could've gotten
if i wasn't farming DD prints
to get my stock back up
just craft them 
and it feels like DDs are at least half the retro's rn
I am just preparing for the eventual Portland + Hyuuga Retro
i'm prepared for the Portland and Saratoga retro
the plan is to have them be my next retrofits
preparing for hyuuga retro
that just needs levelling hyuuga

with the goddamn BB bp rain
mines lvl 100
idk the skills
probably lvl 1
lmao no
lvl 8 and lvl 4 skills respectively
I like yamasou more 
they're still lvl 68ish lmao
they're just there
fusou lvl 67 yama lvl 68
i'll do those eventually
the lvl 100 affection 100 thing
is what keeps me from it
i still make fun of synd
how i got zuma and ika super fast
ika is the only rare that dropped on 8-2 for me
zuma was one of 3
i was farming isuzu for a bit to take a break from maya
did that for a few days
went back to maya
got maya
I got Maya 2nd run
like I was even testing out fleets to see if I can auto her
because her farming was so separated because of events
maya took me about 20 total runs lel
and she just appeared 40% stage competion
we know lmao
SRs appears when I dont even need them lol
I once did 6-4 just for fun and got a Yuudachi
which took me about a week to get my 1st one
haiz still wish they give us a longer break
pretty fast
urusai gonna take months for jintsuu and co 
unless I am mistaken
and st lewd
then prinz, sandy, sandy, and lusty
renown is a bc rite
2 more days till I say goodbye to this number once more
yeah she's BC
wait nvm
collection
I fucked up the calendar
its on the 13th
if that's what you mean
still 2 days
i will
look at you getting in 1 build
and i'll brag
I mean
inb4 10 roll get all 9 event ships
i mean she's not limited
urusai rolls 10
10 st lewds
so i'll get her eventually
I am actually curious whats the chance of that happening
been rolling lights forever still don have ning 
1:15 is her timer
so if i get a elite from that
either her or helena
except 7 ships share that timer
well
is helena in light build?
yeah
yeah
When you have a higher chance to get Rarer ships than common ones
ikr
I do have Fubuki and Concord
only build exclus Im missing rn are ning and useless tiddybote (lusty)
pls gib lusty in exchange tomorrow

idk
i might yolo a few light builds
for S&Gs
first two are sandy and ranger
calling it now
i was right on sandy lmao
and ranger
and now bouge and sandy
lmao another sandy
is it bad i've memorized their build timers
I know all ships' build timers
sandy is 1:10
bouge is 2:20
its about 3 seconds
ranger 2:40
there's way too many drills around for that anyways 
i'm not gonna waste a drill on sandy
i did for the S&Gs
because i felt like doing 4 light builds
nice
even if I could pop all my cubes rn I'd still have buncha drills left, cant see a point in not using em
124

bulin in medal exchange lmao
lol
first time i've looked at it today
i really need to
purin tomorrow tho 
i need to change the theme color
white hurts my eyes to look at
a lot
that's better
lol
at least later i can get help
WHY IS ARIZONA HARDER TO GET THAN P0I AND FOXES ;-:
cuz not super rare @slow drum
Arizona was the 57th ship I got apparently
I like the t2 I got more than if I got 1 t3 of the same 
t3 cruiser woulda been nice tho
I need to start on Javelin, finish Hammann and Fortune, then start saving for Nicholas
I've been using bulins like mad because 1. I was lazy and 2. I had like 4 rows of them
0 bulins 

🇫
I can Kai her, but I won't have enough for the skill
Who's that for?

Aya
Oof
my aya's missing 2 and z23 is missing 5 which I dont really care bout at this point of time
I have enough to cover both of em if I wanted tho


I'm missing 1 for the modernization node for laffey
And 2 for the skill
Z23 and Javelin's retro untouched
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460643534685470730/521975635221151754/unknown.png
aint popped a single bp on em since the date I sent that pic 


kinda went on a t3 draught since that day
just started getting some more after w6 hm came in lol
weee just got nimi to 100 affec
took cute a while with her 

ran out of names

He’s naming them after his anime Waifus.
LUL
I fucking called it 
if there's not a 2x gem recharge, I'm callin bollocks
l2ds for germans are like 1k gems each
and we already have new years and christmas skins

Why would there be 2x recharge? 
because we're getting dogpiled a bunch of limited skins
Oh, restart has Christmas avatar
I shouldnt have spent all my 2x recharge
😦
then again not a fan of those christmas skins
ugh
time to count how much VAT I'm gonna have to throw into the void
lul
failing both
incoming
eh
I'd buy a fusou skin tho
hmmmm
that sandy one
i'm sold
BOI
I like the oathed enty with that portable windows tho
so
well it looks like ....... a wedding dress
I kinda like to have one skin on each ship
unless they are really good
or akagi's
Aya oath skin is too good

Graf Zeppelin Live 2D will be temporarily available after the patch update from 12/13-12/30, 11:59 P.M. (PST).
#AzurLane https://t.co/GDQwIQl3HZ
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa
ultra nut bois
please keep things civil 
@last kiln marry all of them
problem solved
tell that to your irl wife and her wardrobe


graf and tirpitz l2d
oh joy
just did the math
on top of about 40-50$ for the gems I'll have to fork another 10+$ on VAT
propably
I dont hear many people outside of EU having to pay 20+% VAT
Well, this fucking sucks
I aready had my wallet strained because of upcoming comiket
so now I'll have to forego one or the other 😦
won't have much of a choice there
sigh
sometimes I wish the devs remembered global's not a single market economy 
I already had to drop 2 other gachas just to accomodate AL's spending
AL's spending are purely cosmetic for the most part tho 
It's not like other games where you have to spend even more just to maybe get some characters
which I have no problem with
if I could buy the stuff at any point and not worry about wheter or not I have enough in a given month
but when you pile up limited stuff on top of one another, during an already expensive month no less
to give a perspective, I live in a country where minimum wage amounts to 480 euros a month
and that's before tax deductions
and then on top of that you pay 20% more for the gems because of even more tax
that's why I have a set spending limit of about 20-25 per month on any game related stuff
which is why I haven't bought any new games recently 
There is no need for new games if you can always spend money on AL.
@wintry sonnet :I feel your pain, but that’s business in a way.
It's not like other games where you have to spend even more just to maybe get some characters (you wont)
ftfy
sucks being adult
you dont have time for normal video games anymore
=> AL
whenever I have freetime at work
Welp, it's one reason, why mobile game such as AL are quite popular.
here's the problem tho
even on JP they didnt get avalanched with a buttload of limited skins
catching up with content, I'm with you all the way
catching up with gem-only stuff that's also limited
I'm gonna have to get off the bus
they might unlock it next year
Duh, u even can spend some food money on AL. Why eat fancy, when u can eat potatoes?
like I said, I'd have no issues if all thoe skins were paced evenly
or at the very least available anytime
and even jp knew better than to do so
you had xmas skin, new years 2 weeks~ later and they had the original OC without the skins
and that's japan we're talking about
and I dunno if things will change here, but if JP's anything to go by, the only special thing they got was a new year special bag
2018 gems + random new years skin
JP had less stuff to catch up to 
again, catching up with content's fine, but it's a completely different thing when you're catching up with limited items 
oh nice, beachside urd
limited items are part of the events 
rip people's gems
Don't go for everything at the same time if reruns are bound to happen
yeah and guess what, we effectively get 3 events on top of one another now
also just a side note, I get that they're a business and I accept they gotta make money. But there's that thing called supply and demand
if they were to pace the skins and break them down into separate month, I can bet you top dollar they'd make more money out of it than they will now that people will end up having to pick and choose

Probably they are focused on catching up with other versions too much.
that's the impression i get too
they're more focusing on catching up with cn/jp
hence all these rapid fire event
Calm your robertsons 
RiP wallets.
you gonna get any of the skins?
Who knows. Maybe for Tripitz, or Graf...
Skin for Graf is tempting.
so i'm looking at the possibilties
i doubt we'll get BOTH of Deutschland's skins at the same time
It's not impossible tho 
it could happen
I guess sometimes being poor isnt that bad
you know you cant buy anything so no worries

nope
it was
apparently it's getting an update
damn
it looks good
see, this is what I was fearing
this avalanche of limited-time skins
and there's gonna be at least 3-4 that cost 1k+ each

and all we gonna get it seems in terms of gem deal
is a 2018 gem christmas pack
with a random xmas skin
i'm just gonna buy an 80$ pack too
and fuck that, I had enough with the nep bag when I pulled the one skin I didnt want, that being white heart
I'm not relying on rngesus to give me a skin I want anymore
yeah same here
this is so stupid
they could've easily gotten twice the gems from me 
if they didnt pile up so many goddamn limited skins
in a 2week window
by the time they come back there's propably gonna be even more skins
and I mgiht end up wanting those more
rip my nonexistent t2 bps

lol
Im farming 7-4 for a hammann dupe but well, done dumping purple bps on her anyways
just need the dupe
got a lil bit which are gonna go on these 2 new ones
Just use Bulins, you get a lot anyway 

I use them as they come 
F
then there's people bragging "yo I got 5 bulin rows"
me: ok nice job not using em want a cookie?

I just save mine until they reach their level cap for that level of lb

Nothing special about that
The only reason for not using them if you plan to use a lot soon 
Like if there's event and you don't want to go for dupes in construction
Yeah I don't fish for construction dupes usually
Im entering OC with barely 3 purins
need 9 more

at most, cuz dupes are a thing
managed to grab 2 norcal dupes off d3 in FW
Got 3 off B3 myself, she's nice like that. Also got an extra copy of Washington.
I want to use my purins on cranes but Tirpitz 
tfw you were telling people that cubes aren't big deal because original event had only 3 ships in construction, but turns out we're not getting original event 
we arent?
we're getting rerun in everything but subs
oh rite
z25 and 35
didnt notice
I was too fixated on DDP being on the l2d list lul
well, good thing I got 500 cubes 
I have... 30 I think
oh...
Sitting on 240-ish
Z25's also construction only
The important part is getting Graf Zep
I don't care about Graf tbf, only Hipper and Deutsch
I NEED ALL
Huuuuh
how else am I gonna find new waifus
Yea
I'm only missing Akashi and Maya for SRs because can't be bothered to reach 8-4
Hope they'll make event a bit longer tho 
I got way too cautious with rng after my friend had to pop 470 cubes for 1 wash, while getting 9 minnies


My luck with limited units has been fine.
Hope it holds up.
I've started FW with less than what I have now
When the game decides that what you're getting is an Elite, Sandy doesn't factor into it anymore

150 for nowaki
but why, waifu?!
How many copies do I need for her retrofit by the way
dunno how many cubes I popped on Z force, prob sth like 70 for atago, not sure cranes, 20 builds for shokek, but prob 20 more for hyuuga
yes I got 2 fucken shokek before 1 hyuuga
and 100 cubes for FW to get wash
I also popped 60 cubes when fubuki hit the light build
got 500 rn 
I have 37 cubes rip
by tomorrow I have over 40 easily
I think I spent 140-ish on Neps

I wasted all my cubes for neps and I still didn't get black heart but a 2nd green and 3rd or 4th white 
gg
The only nep I got dupes of was Noire
4 of her total
2 of them during the first phase
like I could just sent all neps home since I won't use them anyways 
They'll be one of the last things I'll level
I guess I sent them home when my docks get full (and probably kalk and hobby too even tho kalk ate all my cubes on fw)
I got 6 kalks before I got wash

but I retired most of em for medals instead of MLBing her
I got 3 wash, minne, 3 colorados, 1 west virginia before kalk
from all my pulls I got an under 1h pull once ._.
.<
atleast you aint in Iran 
rip
yeah you know what, I'm good
And this is when I say, steer back on topic
Clubs have pretty strict rules ya know...
wait... talking about buying gems is ot?
the currency talk isn't
I'm confused now
back to the event
the pack is still 79,99€
so from what i can see, this is a chimera of an event
seems likely I'm gonna skip out on the skins entirely
it like a re-run sans submarines
that is pretty spot on
the skins are great but I need to save up my money rip
i have the re-run up here and
might buy some skins next year
yeah, if it wasn't for the limited skin dump in a 2 week frame
it has the %s
now if I buy just part of the skins all it's gonna do is I'll be pissed off and reminded that I have to wait half a year or a year
for them to come back
and I ain't throwing 80$ within a single month, that's not even a microtransaction anymore
that's 10% of my salary
yikes
hah
oof, almost forgot PVP
dat akagi exp remaining to max tho lel
eyy so my akaga are finally maxed on skills after 2 months 
mine are still at lvl 8 for preemptive
right now my academy's occupied by sodak and wash
for the waifu related stuff Nimi's almost at 8 and 10 on skills 
which stuff you want here 
I might succumb and pop 2 BPs on nimi's retro skill not sure
lol 25k, without discount, what a waste
it's kinda silly not to give them the retrofit skill
since that's their main source of strength
I mean, they are pretty useful without them
sure, but they could be even better 
ALSO
Im not gonna be using them much, maybe here and there just to 'revisit' em
so there aint that much point spending full on on em
lol I dont got that much of a hard on for sheer added strength
if they can get the job done Im content with em 
guess I'll level some ironbloods cuz DC coming up 
having a lot of ships you like (ofc, different amounts of liking) is kinda hard sinc eyou cant ever decide which to use and just randomly gotta choose lol @wintry sonnet
maybe synd's doing it the right way

my problem is there's too many ships I like 
was talkin bout myself 
which in turn translates into wanting to level them up, level their skills up and get them at least a single skin to make em stand out
anyways its something Im bringing upon myself 
ugh fuck
claimed book weekly, game dc'd, didnt know what book I got 


lol
didnt know skin collecting was a thing
well kinda did, some people buy all skins they see
I just try get the few I really like for a few ships I also really like 
same here
I'm not buying z46 and Zep skin
Just a lot of things to ring

I liked Tirpitz tho
She reminds me of a certain gun on GFL
Not sure if it's AN94 or AK12
i'm getting 3 of the 4 live 2d skins
I'm still partially hoping
that there's gonna be very few limited-only skins
since the xmas tweets didnt precisely mention they're limited
we'll find out thursday
Deutsch skin was perma on other servers from what I dug up
so that's at least 1 skin that can wait
yeah but the other one's also added
the one you can't post because 2l00d
deutschland skins stays
the others do not
the summer skin
deutschland is getting both skins at the same time
yep
that's stays
jaburin swimsuit 
I actually aint given that much thought lol, I would like to have it but too expens
all the gems i'm gonna burn after patch 
1100-1200 i believe 
1180 gems
well, 1000+ gems
TIRP SKIN TOO
Ya tirp
so i need to take some money
There's a big error in that patch notes
Aurora isn't too good of a waifu tho
Lmao wiki died
Lewd deutschland as well 


a great time to be a kms fan
buy pedo plates for ger magnetics 
2400 gems was 20$ right? (assuming that I have 2x on gems
)
Yes^
2X Live 2D for Deutschland
wut?
or others can just enjoy it 

hmm.....
@ornate mantle 'gave in' lel no
I hate when people push their opinions on me and nor like doing it to people myself 
Dun worry Ily.
no u

oh thank lord, finally someone in PVP who's not afking
Ahhhhhhh, that’s more than a general 1-2 hr cube commissions.
time to snipe that #80 guys 
what I mean was, for the past day all I had was people who were just sitting on their pvp charges
so I couldn't get point bonuses off them

good thing I got the exercise page open then lol
earned 7 extra points off that pvp
I guess the unfortunate reality of sandbagging
is that you end up being paired with other sandbaggers lol
so it ends up being a game of chicken
but it kinda looks like most of the people I end up with, including lvl 80-90s
are just not bothering at all
so why is the event called divergent chessboard
instead of opposite colored
is it different?
Assuming Opposite Colors refers to the B/W pattern of a chessboard.
slightly?
i'd look at the wiki to see what the difference is on opposite colored vs the maint notes
but the wikis down

i figured divergent chessboards was a
not marketing thing
but w/e
you want to call it
Opposite-Colored refers to Opposite Colored Bishops
my 10hr commission has been
play chess y'all
Which in chess can lead to some interesting games
2 T2 retrofit parts
for the past 3 days
even after doing it, the new one is still the T2 blueprints
this is such a weird day
I think I've checked about 19 times already if I did my hard mode 
I keep having this weird feeling like I forgot to do something in my daily stuff
Dailies and hard modes are the first things I do 
was happy to finally get a gold Destroyer piece
after a month
sounds about right
you're playing a waifu collecting game


i'm still calling it opposite colored
i'm calling it opposite colored because that's what's gonna show up if you search it
so it makes it easier
eh
we'll see
considering they had a beta for the AL wiki
that had english stuff
and then what feels like them abandoning it
that was during the Zforce event
or w/e
with PoW and atago was called
SWS
We can only speculate.
all we know is the wiki is having some issues
even though i kinda liked the beta wiki layout
I’m sure it’ll be up in no time.
they said 1 day
Which is how I can keep my sanity for DC.
from when the message was sent in server news
I’m literally.
Quivering in my boots.
For this event.
But what depresses me.
Is that what I was hoping wouldn’t happen.
Did happen.
Getting caught with my pants down in terms of cubes stock.
I managed to get a shitton of cubes in a short amount of time.
Like, since Neptunia I got 130 cubes.
Because neps drained me to 0 up u til start of part 2.
I think the main parts you need to worry about are Graf and Z25
Since those are the construction exclusives
i'll be fine
The others you can get through other means
I’m mainly worried about Graf.
That’s confidence right there.
Ehhhhh, Ping me too.
So I can be happy with you.

That at least one of us got Graffy
I got Minne on second 10-pull.
But that’s been my best luck w/ 10 constructs.
Every other time I’ve done 10-pulls I’ve gotten shit on.
i don't wanna buy gems for christmas skins
but oh well
it'll only be what
the $40 gem pack
for all the ones i want
Better buy gem for live2d skin
Z46
i never expected any of the live2d to come so soon 
And we have a live2d Christmas
Ah no
I thought "service time?! " Was a new live2d of Christmas

german botes 
@ripe mist are you going to push early today or staying at 5/10 constant?
As far as I know, Dark Demon Princess isn’t a L2D skin though.
It's going to be
Is it?
