avrora-general

[oblique mantle]

I couldn’t tell you. But it gets weary

I’ll take bisko now, i’ll take anything

But god not another event for ijn

[wintry sonnet]

not that I dislike IJN, I've had 4 years of KC to develop fondness for the IJN ships, but... I was kinda hoping to broaden the horizons

meanwhile, I have to level up Brooklyn class just for the fun of it, but I can't very much send them to 10-4 or further

[oblique mantle]

Thats what everyone came for. Other factions, i just wonder if they go by how much cash they make per or what.

If thats the case, maybe thats why we have so many. Hopefully I’m wrong

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, it's not like there's no viability for other nations to be good

KMS could easily become the most unkillable fleet

[oblique mantle]

They could also make events give incentive for other nation usage

Or make it harder

I’m fine with events not taking me two days

[wintry sonnet]

hmmm... somethign like nation-specific fleet requirements?

[oblique mantle]

To complete and be bored again

Yes

[wintry sonnet]

I could see that working, it'd definitely encourage versatility

and not sticking to just flavor of the month/year/whatever

[oblique mantle]

Be refreshing

[wet storm]

nation-specific fleet requirements
pls no, ill fail all IJN stuff then...

[oblique mantle]

Those ijn girls come like candy

You would be fine with how many times they hand these events specifically for em.

[wet storm]

no

[wintry sonnet]

I was checking the CE ships the other day

and I found Ashigara's skill hillarious

The Flashing Blade of Surabaya Every 20 seconds, 30% (70%) to launch a special barrage ; also increase Firepower by 10% (20%) and damage against cruisers by 10% (20%) for 10 seconds.

literally Ajax skillset, but as 1 skill instead of 2

and doesnt require you retrofitting

liek...

[oblique mantle]

Makes things obsolete if you just put back the skill into one.

You’ll notice that alot

Or some of these three skills throw out the two or one cause they offer more to the table.

[wintry sonnet]

then again, with the game encouraging fast clearing, there's not much wiggle room in terms of skills

it always has to be more dmg, more reload, more torp, more barrage

[oblique mantle]

So we... ramp up the difficulty

This has been asked for a while.

No change till we hit like world eleven and 12

Thats when we had to think differently

[ornate mantle]

Ideally we get level cap raised by then.

[oblique mantle]

Well of course. Thats also when the level is 115 and the like.

So a cap raise should happen

[cosmic pier]

I'd be fine with nation specific reqs

got a few ships from every nation afaik

except northern, dont got avro

[ornate mantle]

I think you'd be fine with anything though.

[cosmic pier]

true, my inability to give a fuck to anything makes it ez to be fine with anything

[ornate mantle]

I'd like to see some of the other nations get Nagato-like skills where she buffs up a fleet from a specific nation.

[past kiln]

QE, Graf Z, and eventually Essex are the non-IJN ones iirc

[oblique mantle]

Mmm

[ornate mantle]

Uhhhh, not really...

[oblique mantle]

Qe only buffs attack

If you look

Some of the ijn have skills that lower backline damage

[past kiln]

QE buffs evasion and AA too, technically

[oblique mantle]

The cheap stuff

[cosmic pier]

guess my most levelled nation happens to be USS, then Royal, then sakura, then Ironblood lel

just in the order the filter goes

[oblique mantle]

And essex is uh... meh

[cosmic pier]

what a coincidence

[oblique mantle]

It hurt me to say that. I hyped her when she first came out.

[ornate mantle]

Who? Essex?

[oblique mantle]

But as blast said, cvs are so so

Yes

I thought those skills would really make a difference

[ornate mantle]

Assuming you play on JP/CN as well, haha.

[ornate mantle]

I gotta check Essex's skill.

[oblique mantle]

Jp was my first. I ain’t leaving all those beauties behind

[wintry sonnet]

welp, another year lived through for me

Happy new year from Polandia

[cosmic pier]

first event we got on EN:

PoW: oh fuck, guess BB time is over now, it all CVs
game itself:
Fuck CVs go pick BBs

[oblique mantle]

Plus all the goodies I got locked into jp. No way would I drop it

Yeah pow is not worth it

But she buffs us.. but why have her if you can have more damage

Things like that

[cosmic pier]

Evil not reading again

I wasnt talkin bout pow just kinda quoted her

[oblique mantle]

Oh no. I got that

I’m just saying how not worth it she is

[cosmic pier]

Z-force event kinda disses BBs lel

[oblique mantle]

For someone who buffs

Compared to elizabeth

[cosmic pier]

she just buffs herself lul

not others

[wintry sonnet]

That's kinda her problem though

[past kiln]

And she has no other skills

[wintry sonnet]

she requires you to build around her, but doesnt synergise in any other way

[oblique mantle]

Dead weight

[cosmic pier]

she aint worth it on a technical level, but I like her, and that makes it worth using her for me

but thats just personal tastes

gib me skin already

[wintry sonnet]

I like Pow too, but it's hard to find her working when you have to build 5 ships around her

[oblique mantle]

Hornet 2. They need to give me it

[past kiln]

Her lack of other skills means she's not even that good in a 5 USN fleet

[cosmic pier]

last 9-4 run I did lel

[oblique mantle]

Hornet retro into h2 would be great

[cosmic pier]

I dont mind popping pow since I usually happen to have cleve/wichi/helena on my boss fleets anyways

dont feel forced

[wintry sonnet]

come to think of it

evil

what was the last retrofit in JP and when

[oblique mantle]

Uhhh

[past kiln]

Most recent is the bunnies, no?

[wintry sonnet]

before bunnies I mean

[oblique mantle]

Ijn retrofit if I recall

Sandy

It was sandy

[wintry sonnet]

and that was what

month ago?

[oblique mantle]

No

That was before we got fw

For jp

[wintry sonnet]

oof

so over a month

[oblique mantle]

Yeah....

Kinda sad

Where are the retrofits for others

Before sandy newcastle was the latest one

I need to level her btw..

[wintry sonnet]

I think that's kinda the trap they're falling into

[ornate mantle]

Where is my Enterprise Retrofit.

[wintry sonnet]

new ships take priority over improving the old ones

[cosmic pier]

dec 18, york retrofit

[wintry sonnet]

so it turns into discarding old ships in favor of the new flavor

[cosmic pier]

unless fake news

idk just reading off somewhere

[oblique mantle]

Thats a retro

But I consider that brand new

[cosmic pier]

before that, nov 13, newcastle

[past kiln]

I meant newcastle
And yes, that was before Sandy

[oblique mantle]

Newcastle was something

Finished it up and went right back onto doing other things.

[wintry sonnet]

You know what I kinda want to see a retrofit of

Prinz

hear me out on this

[oblique mantle]

Sure

[wintry sonnet]

She's effectively the first SSR you get in the game from the logins

but you almost instantly discard her because she's nothing but a meat shield

unless you REALLY like using her

[cosmic pier]

gib PoW a retrofit and give her a none trash skill

thanks

[wintry sonnet]

by the time a month passes you're already going to run wichita or portland

or possibly minne if you were around for FW

[oblique mantle]

So you want her to be a hybrid?

Is that where your going with this?

[cosmic pier]

"just give prinz a retro that makes her viable"

[wintry sonnet]

either a hybrid, or give her extra buffs to your fleet/debuffs on enemy

something to help her from being just a meatshield

[cosmic pier]

more backlane DMR

[wintry sonnet]

with a shield that disapepars in 3 seconds

[past kiln]

Or just have her return to the role of best tank, at least she'd have a niche then

[oblique mantle]

Brb

[wintry sonnet]

because the shield doesnt give a toss if it gets hit by CA shells or DD spam

[cosmic pier]

HP tanking

[wintry sonnet]

that's kinda the issue tho, isn't it

her shield doesnt last very long

meanwhile, compare her to portland, who has defensive skills, dmg reduction

and also is a gunboat

• retrofit

and she costs way less to sortie than prinz does

[ornate mantle]

I wonder when portland retro is gonna come.

[past kiln]

Maybe have her shields have effect on destruction, like Indy but more impactful than hers

[oblique mantle]

Okay

With the retrofits... did sandy ever have one in real life?

If not this is where they can get creative. And I can agree with your idea

No need to make anything set in stone if your going to retro fit everyone eventually. Those who had em and those who didn’t

[cosmic pier]

doesnt look like it

[past kiln]

Yep, Sandy got at least an equipment overhaul, according to wiki

[oblique mantle]

So yeah

[cosmic pier]

o

[wintry sonnet]

I'm checking wiki, and she does seem to have a retrofit at 1945

[cosmic pier]

I failed

[oblique mantle]

Go and make them different

[past kiln]

Under 1943, "San Diego continued on to San Francisco for installation of modern radar equipment, a Combat Information Center and 40 mm antiaircraft guns to replace her obsolete 1.1 in (27 mm) batteries."

[oblique mantle]

All of a sudden prinz becomes a damage type

Boom pow

[upbeat herald]

I don't really think they're doing retrofits based on IRL retrofits

[oblique mantle]

Then we have room for this

[wintry sonnet]

You know what would be kinda cool

if PoW and Prinz had some sort of bond skill

[oblique mantle]

Soaks damage and dishes it

From their lines I take it? You could have the same for duke and monarch

Since monarch calls her out

[past kiln]

Have her be nuclear
Aura damage/debuff?

[wintry sonnet]

yeah, since they seem to be this close from their lines

[oblique mantle]

Duke doesn’t like her taking prey

Etc

[wintry sonnet]

it'd at the very least feel justified

from the game standpoint

[oblique mantle]

Maybe

[wintry sonnet]

I dont stick hardly to historicals because personally I think the game should first and foremost be fun and historically accurate second

this is kind of what's killing KC nowadays

[oblique mantle]

Haha, you and I know why thats going down.

But that is one.

[wintry sonnet]

Honestly, I'm debating this being my last event in KC, after 4 years

and just moving full time into AL

[oblique mantle]

Welcome aboard then.

[past kiln]

Something like Blanc/Vert interaction maybe?

[oblique mantle]

I will say from the ones interacted with. You certainly raise an eyebrow

None of that bias or hate.

[wintry sonnet]

zzzzzz

another 10h plate commission

Where muh cubes game

srs, my last 5 10hours were 2 plates, 2 bluepritns and drills

[oblique mantle]

Rng

[past kiln]

Drills are the woooorst
I wish those reset daily too

[oblique mantle]

If it was consistent. I would have a ton more things in my stock.

[cosmic pier]

imagine getting 2-5 drill 10hr in a row

[oblique mantle]

Now the real rng hell. Will be when you do pr research.

[wintry sonnet]

honestly, I'd love it if the 10hours resetted on daily reset

at least that way you can postpone sending them to see if you can get something better

[oblique mantle]

25 out of 25 for shit. And there is a ton of pr items in there.

[wintry sonnet]

instead having ot pay 1,2k oil and waiting 10h to see whatever else you get

[past kiln]

PR research at least has reset whenever you want once a day

[oblique mantle]

Items are still random though. Never guaranteed on what you need.

And unlike commissions. You do one till its over

[wintry sonnet]

yeah... I still dont know how to feel about the commission system. It feels counterintuitive at times

if you're just doing bare minimum, it's not a problem

if you wanna do some big farming or grinding, suddenly you get swarmed in urgents and have ot post pone your dailies

[cosmic pier]

250-500 oil commission

251 oil got

[oblique mantle]

Be nice to have comissions from the same level

[cosmic pier]

fun times

[wintry sonnet]

that's the other thing

[oblique mantle]

Instead of swapping from 45 to sometimes 25 and etc

[wintry sonnet]

I keep getting constant crappy commissions

1 hour for 15-30 oil

[oblique mantle]

Don’t worry

[wintry sonnet]

wow, such value

[past kiln]

It'd be nice if the lower lv commissions get retired eventually at higher commander level

[oblique mantle]

Your not alone

[cosmic pier]

I accept any kinda gem comission

[wintry sonnet]

last overnights

[cosmic pier]

be it level 15 or 40 lel

[wintry sonnet]

the one time I do nothing to stockpile on oil

[cosmic pier]

90 soon pls kty

[oblique mantle]

I’m level 77

[cosmic pier]

88

[oblique mantle]

What the hell is this?

[wintry sonnet]

BOOKS

[cosmic pier]

moonroons

[oblique mantle]

Shouldn’t it get higher as I go higher

I expect 70 stuff

[wintry sonnet]

oh yea, out of curiosity

[oblique mantle]

Not resets of one and whatever

[wintry sonnet]

anyone got in a situation

[wintry sonnet]

where despite having unlocked 10h, 1,2k oil commissions

[cosmic pier]

[wintry sonnet]

you get the previous level ones

[oblique mantle]

Yes

[past kiln]

Yep

[wintry sonnet]

so I wasn't the only one then

that was so disheartening

[oblique mantle]

Everyone does

[past kiln]

Which is why they should retire lower lv ones once you unlock higher level ones!

[wintry sonnet]

like YAAA finally unlocked best commissions, that means I'll only get the good ones now right

[oblique mantle]

Nope

[wintry sonnet]

reality sucks

[oblique mantle]

Your lucky if you get past 50

[past kiln]

Or at least have daily resets

[wintry sonnet]

I kinda wish we could have a one-time a day reset of commissions

just a general reroll of everything that you have on the list

like with shop, but withotu paying gems

and only once a day

[oblique mantle]

Mmm. But would anything change

[wintry sonnet]

well, for one if you get stuck with nothing but drill commisions, the shortest one being 4 hours

at least you get a change to run something more useful

[oblique mantle]

Just from what I’ve seen. Its almost always the repeat ones.

Or the one you just had last time

[wintry sonnet]

well it wouldn't solve the issue entirely, but at least it'd relieve some of the strain

other than a complete rework of the commission system, there's not much else I can think of

[oblique mantle]

If enough people asked for it.

Sure

[cosmic pier]

most annoying thing bout commissions for me tho

fleet launch ceremony

[wintry sonnet]

you mean fixing it so it no longer isn't bugged

[cosmic pier]

heckin bugged piece of shithe

[wintry sonnet]

I gave up on that being fixed tbh

I just run it for furniture tokens

[cosmic pier]

the other rewards are pretty nice

about 600+ gold n shit

[wintry sonnet]

OH

...

oh

[cosmic pier]

wot

[wintry sonnet]

I set z46 as my secretary for affection grind

poked her

secretary mission

completley forgot that was a thing added

[ornate mantle]

Oh.

[cosmic pier]

lol

already got enough WiP quests in my mission list

aint adding more

havent added concord, shiranui and z46's yet

[oblique mantle]

Be nice if the missions gave a little more

[wintry sonnet]

I did all the previous ones already

[oblique mantle]

Cleveland and her basketball game were the best though.

[ornate mantle]

I'd like them to add a 5th fleet to do commissions.

[wintry sonnet]

I like the secretary missions for the story merits

but the rewards are a bit underwhelming yea

[cosmic pier]

Im not gonna let some puny missions and questlines decide what ships Im gonna level

[wintry sonnet]

at least viersechs gives you a gold dd blueprint at the end of it

[cosmic pier]

only one I'd do is prob akagi's cuz she's already 100/100

z46 later I guess cuz planning her for Zfleetin

[oblique mantle]

Too many to do myself.

[cosmic pier]

aint even done LI's either

[oblique mantle]

Forgot if duke has one, but if she does. It better be good

[wintry sonnet]

I had Concord ready since day 1, Nui I happened to have just finished 100 affection on when she was added in

so it was just a case of levelling up

Bailey was a torture tho lol

"Ok, 100 affection, let's do that! Oh I also need Mlb, fine let's do that.wait... fuck now I have to level her to 100"

every time I think I was out, they pull me right back in

[toxic scroll]

i basically refuse to do the ships

that require 100 affection level 100

[wintry sonnet]

I got so scarred after Bailey's secretary missions

I kept a dupe for her retro

and retrod her day 1

I dont evne use Bailey

I just muscle memoried into thinking I need to do it

[oblique mantle]

What?

Why? What was hers about?

[wintry sonnet]

same as for all of them, get everything maxed out

but it was the first secretary mission of that sort

[cosmic pier]

gib skin

[wintry sonnet]

the previous ones were just for skins

[cosmic pier]

[wintry sonnet]

so once you mlbed them, you were pretty much done

but bailey was the first one on EN that requires you to do 100 affection, mlb, lvl 100

[oblique mantle]

I meant her secretary story

[wintry sonnet]

oh, the story was actually fine

[oblique mantle]

You said you were scarred. I thought you were gonna tell me some warped shit or something.

[cosmic pier]

lol

[wintry sonnet]

No no, the storyline was fine, I mean

Bailey doesnt do much for me cause she looks a little too loli for my tastes

[oblique mantle]

Yeah. Certain girls have good lines that make you feel for em.

I felt for graf.

[wintry sonnet]

it was just the fact that every tiem I thought I was done with her secretary questline, there was another thing I needed

and once I finally did everything, poof

just get some consolidation rewards

[cosmic pier]

graf's edge kinda subsided as affection went up

[wintry sonnet]

not even extra scene

[oblique mantle]

Yes

[toxic scroll]

north carolina makes me sad

[oblique mantle]

Best line is about destroying the card table.

[wintry sonnet]

I still can't get a good read on NorCal

[oblique mantle]

Plain jane

She wants to stand out like her sisters

[wintry sonnet]

I'm not 100% sure if she's supposed to have a sort of primadonna personality, with how much she ironically boasts about her lack of presence

or if she has a very peculiar way of expressing humility

[cosmic pier]

[oblique mantle]

That hits it then.

I’m not great. But I’m pretty great

Low key

[toxic scroll]

[wintry sonnet]

so a low-key flex then

[oblique mantle]

Yeah

[cosmic pier]

humble flex

[oblique mantle]

God that line...

Makes me a bit shy

[wintry sonnet]

oh well, she has legs worth dying for, so I'm okay with that

[cosmic pier]

nice translation

thing that got me into norcal was her chibi

[toxic scroll]

they aren't be best at fixing TL issues

love in first sight

[cosmic pier]

[oblique mantle]

This is why I implore people to take it to the staff

No need to let the lines stay. I made dam well sure that big wasp yo was gone

[cosmic pier]

she talks

a lot

[oblique mantle]

Shit gave me nightmares

[cosmic pier]

big wasp yo was fun meme tho

[wintry sonnet]

[oblique mantle]

Never again

[cosmic pier]

scharnhorst special touch still annoys me tho

[oblique mantle]

I can see hornet using yo and such

But the way she said her whole thing turned me off. And I like hornet

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, it was a pretty unprofessional translation and as someone with a translation major it definitly stings the eyes

but bad translations like this are sort of my guilty pleasure

[oblique mantle]

So yes. I for one try and make sure they get fixed. Especially when their my favorites.

[wintry sonnet]

I remember reading a kc urakaze doujin once where they translated all her lines into brooklyn-speak

it was the dumbest but at the same time most hilarious thing ever

[oblique mantle]

No probs for tirpitz or graf thankfully

[wintry sonnet]

oh and there was one where they translated a japanese housewive to sound like an aussie bloke

[cosmic pier]

fix scharn

[oblique mantle]

You know what to do if you want that

[wintry sonnet]

tho there's a difference between hilariously mistranslated

and just being unfaithful to the original

hello Gneisenau

[cosmic pier]

Gneis?

[wintry sonnet]

either her or scharnhorst have a complete mistranslation on their special touch

[cosmic pier]

ReiRei | :HammBite: @HoofyPoofyToday at 3:20 AM
fix scharn

[oblique mantle]

What do they say

Humor me

[cosmic pier]

think you were here when we were talkin bout it

[wintry sonnet]

her original line from wiki is: Commander, stand properly – if you can withstand this round, then I’ll forgive you…

[oblique mantle]

LOL

[wintry sonnet]

whcih makes sense, cause you can heart about forgiveness i her voice lines

but her actual EN line

[oblique mantle]

Okay I do remember seeing that.

En line botched it

[cosmic pier]

[wintry sonnet]

Not even close in the original meaning

[cosmic pier]

I'd rather take that punch

[wintry sonnet]

if it was some random line I never heard of I'd propably not even notice this

[oblique mantle]

Ooh my quote

[wintry sonnet]

but when you clearly hear the audio say forgiveness and there's nothing in the translated line

it does raise an eyebrow

[oblique mantle]

Wasn’t that when I put down pois line too?

About her calling people a kid fiddler.

[wintry sonnet]

wot

[cosmic pier]

no it was right after I mentioned scharn's special touch line was rude

[wintry sonnet]

that can't be real

[cosmic pier]

[wintry sonnet]

ok, not quite the "kid fiddler" I was expecting

[toxic scroll]

i mean vampire calls you a lolicon

[oblique mantle]

Different lines

[oblique mantle]

See

[cosmic pier]

it literally is kid fiddler

[oblique mantle]

Thats what we got

[cosmic pier]

in wiki

[toxic scroll]

but i don't think she says it in EN

but you can hear it

[cosmic pier]

in cn she says lolicon

[oblique mantle]

Idk why you guys get it differently

[wintry sonnet]

but... why tho

[oblique mantle]

See thats what I dont like

The line should be universal across the board

[wintry sonnet]

I am so confused as to why are they going out of the way to change the wording

[toxic scroll]

[oblique mantle]

Yeah..

I’m sticking with kid fiddler

I like savage poi

[wintry sonnet]

It's not like you can copyright the translations per se

unless they were to just lift the wiki lines 1 for 1

but to go into the extreme and completely change the meaning of a sentence is...

[oblique mantle]

Weird

Uncalled for

[wintry sonnet]

It kinda feels disrespectful to the original lines

I dunno, might be my inner translator speaking out on it

since I'm a bit of a purist in those regards

but it feels like you're just misrepresenting the character

[toxic scroll]

i think it's more of a

what's acceptable here vs there

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, given some of the game's content, would it really be this out of place if Poi just called you a kiddy fiddler

[oblique mantle]

No

Plus this is america. Who is going to get offended. Unless its true about em.

[toxic scroll]

with things talking about being a "kid fiddler" is a lot more frowned upon

[oblique mantle]

But with how many upstarts we got. I can see why.

You have seem these people argue about the littlest of things in a ton of games. And aint nobody got time. for that

[wintry sonnet]

I'm starting to miss childhood when people in the playground would just call each other a faggot and there wouldn't be a massive article the next day about hate speech

Earth, you suck

[oblique mantle]

shrugs our gen is special snowflakes.

Now about those rewards..I would like to see them add more for the ship collection that they seemingly halted.

More reward ships, more art please.

[wintry sonnet]

actually, I was wondering something the other day

has there ever been an update to medal exchagne with the new ships?

[toxic scroll]

i think in jp/cn yeah

i think there's a signle rare ship in theirs

idk who or if there actually is

[wintry sonnet]

[oblique mantle]

No

No major change

The same ships mate

Same ssrs too

[wintry sonnet]

fk...

[oblique mantle]

They should fix that

Its stale

Here

Look at this outdated women

And the same girls.

[wintry sonnet]

Honestly I've given up at this point on getting aurora anytime soon, unless they ever start updating medal exchange or add ships into drop table

[oblique mantle]

Just from my experience. Don’t count on it.

[wintry sonnet]

heck, just as if to spite me I rolled St Louis, Fubuki and Ning Hai yesterday and today

all 3 already mlb, 2 of them free picks int he upcoming new year bonus

[oblique mantle]

Remember that our one year anniversary

Free ships of old gen girls

Like how is this good for me?

[wintry sonnet]

Yeah... honestly I dont get why not at the very least include a purin/bulin

Cause I dont know how am I supposed to get hyped for 4 medals

[oblique mantle]

You see them time to time Aquan

But more would be nice

[toxic scroll]

i just had all 3 of javs skills procc at once

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, at least it a bulin would mean I can use it on something

limit breaking the limited ships or lulu or sth

[cosmic pier]

Imma get either a ning or ping dupe

[wintry sonnet]

meanwhile I have to choose 4 medals, 4 medals, 4 medals, 4 medals and what was the last one...

oh yea, 4 medals

[toxic scroll]

basically yeah

[wintry sonnet]

unless I'm willing to pick one of the hais

and save them for retrofit

which means 1 dock space used up who knows how long

[toxic scroll]

i've gotten so many ning dupes

[wintry sonnet]

same, I think I'm at 8 ning hais

meanwhile, only 1 Ping hai ever pulled

[oblique mantle]

Worry not aquan

When you get all three of the sisters

Consider them your stomp through every ijn event

Since their skills are all for that

[cosmic pier]

Ive only ever got 1 ning and ping

[toxic scroll]

i'll have to actually care about them first

[oblique mantle]

Still waiting for lil yatties va

Such a majestic women still doesn’t have one

[wintry sonnet]

I've been eyeing Yat sen for the longest time now, to the point I was genuinely bummed out when she showed up in one of the minievent cinematics

[oblique mantle]

The one for ping and nings moon festival right?

[wintry sonnet]

ya

[dreamy turtle]

I'd be a little upset if they straight up offered Aurora in the new year login

[oblique mantle]

I was laughing hard at that. You guys got baited

[dreamy turtle]

cause I put a lot of cubes for her

[oblique mantle]

Hey heres that other sister you don’t have

[wintry sonnet]

I'm at 180+ cubes and she's still nowhere to be seen

[oblique mantle]

See how pretty she is?

[dreamy turtle]

I went 280 for her

[oblique mantle]

Just do dailies man.

Don’t waste your cubes for her.

She will come eventually

[wintry sonnet]

You dont even know how cathartic it was for me, when people did the same mistake with Albacore

[cosmic pier]

I was just like "who is this bitch and why is she here when to my knowledge she doesnt exist for us" when I saw yat sen in the scenes

[oblique mantle]

Haha

That was funny

[wintry sonnet]

"HAH, suck it lolicons, your loli's not even added in yet"

[cosmic pier]

lol albacore

"IS THIS MEAN SUBS SEWN"

[oblique mantle]

Get albacore from gacha, did I mention she is also for free if you do her mini event?

So many spent cubes

[cosmic pier]

[oblique mantle]

Over here drawing and I get her free in seven days

[cosmic pier]

ugh

[toxic scroll]

that's only on apple phones too

so lmao

[wintry sonnet]

I prefer this one

[cosmic pier]

3 weeks in a row dd bp from weekly BP

while I just want

carrier bp

[toxic scroll]

she isn't censored on android devices

in what is it? KR?

[cosmic pier]

[oblique mantle]

What? Censor?

What are you talking about

[cosmic pier]

the pic I sent

[wintry sonnet]

huh

oh, that

yeah, Albacore in KR's just black cg

[toxic scroll]

on apple phones

because of their dumb laws/requirements or w/e

[wintry sonnet]

to be fair, if you're using apple stuff, you're propably not into girls anyway

totally not biased against apple stuff

[toxic scroll]

oof

aquan throwing shade over here

[wintry sonnet]

It just stuck with me after one time years ago

one of the message boards I frequented had a guy asking if you can catch viruses looking up straight porn

and some guy answered something like "You won't get viruses if you use a macbook, but if you're using macbooks, you're porpably not interested in straight porn anyway"

[oblique mantle]

Hmm

Nice to see kr is how I feel in a way

Cause that dam bikini does not fit

[toxic scroll]

it's more of the pose

i think it was

[wintry sonnet]

Honestly I don't know how to feel about albacore

she looks hella young but she doesn't trigger the same aversion I have with someone like base CG Eldridge or mutsuki class

[toxic scroll]

I don't get bothered by if a ship is a loli or not

it's only an issue once you start thinking about certain illegal things

[oblique mantle]

I rather have clothes that fit. All I ask

[wintry sonnet]

could be because there's not much albacore talk due to her cg being dannged

so you dont end up seeing people lewding her 24/7

[oblique mantle]

Yes.

[wintry sonnet]

like with kisaragi or mutsuki

[toxic scroll]

it's only censored in KR

[oblique mantle]

Cause they would do it

[toxic scroll]

and who cares about KR

[cosmic pier]

ded server

[wintry sonnet]

poor KR, getting the FGO NA treatment

[oblique mantle]

Oh thats legit? I bet many left after that

[wintry sonnet]

everytime people talk about KR it sounds like the servers are there just to be there

[oblique mantle]

Gotcha

I’ll have to read up on that

[cosmic pier]

dafuq

[oblique mantle]

Dam..

So you were right

[cosmic pier]

my trash fleet just got into ambush 3 times on a way to an actual fleet

1 of em was a failure

but fuckin 3

[oblique mantle]

On what percent

Also a heads up

[cosmic pier]

82

[oblique mantle]

Having radar is more then likely to help you out

[cosmic pier]

Im just surpised it was 3 times lol

[oblique mantle]

I put one on my 🇨🇳 Girls to increase percentages

[wintry sonnet]

ah, that brings me the fond memories of isuzu farm

7 ambush rolls in a row

[cosmic pier]

I mean I am a madman but I got a gold SG on each of my fleets lol

F

[oblique mantle]

Each? Nice

[cosmic pier]

just farming Niizucci rn

[oblique mantle]

Hmm

Maybe you can put one more

See if that helps

[wintry sonnet]

I'm kinda on the fence about continuing niizuki farm

thinking of switching to 7-2 gold farming

and affection grind

[oblique mantle]

Yes

Farm for gold drops

[cosmic pier]

another ambush, another failure

damn this run

[toxic scroll]

niizuki looks familiar

[cosmic pier]

5 ambushes so far

[oblique mantle]

Better value then the girls

[toxic scroll]

did i get her already?

[oblique mantle]

Those come eventually too

[cosmic pier]

idk

[wintry sonnet]

It's more about how All the ships I use on chapter 9+

are already 100 affection

and lvl 100

so it feels like a waste

7-2 once I do danger level I can just level up 1lb ships np

[cosmic pier]

I use the chance to use my L100's again after I've not been doing so since they've been at 100

waste my ass, its fun to revisit em

[toxic scroll]

i'm waiting until we get lecture hall tbh

[oblique mantle]

Well whats great is you can lesson your fleet and go back to 2 and 3 while farming for bp drops

Instead of full fleets while your spamming for your dream drop girl

[cosmic pier]

hoping I dont get ambushed anymore this run

more than my last 4 runs combined

[toxic scroll]

gets ambushed immediately

[wintry sonnet]

but...

but Niizuki's voiced by Elizabeth Bathory from Fate

[cosmic pier]

lol

[oblique mantle]

Well

Mordred is Monarch

Mash is massachusetts

[wintry sonnet]

hold on

[oblique mantle]

Whatchu got for me

[wintry sonnet]

when you say Mash do you mean OG mash taneda risa

or the new one

[oblique mantle]

Let me check

[wintry sonnet]

cause OG Mash was voiced by Taneda

but when she was having health problems they replaced her with Megumin

[toxic scroll]

so i found out why i like Glowworms voice so much

[oblique mantle]

New

[wintry sonnet]

oof

[toxic scroll]

she's voiced by Hiromi Igarashi

[oblique mantle]

I bet you would’ve gone ballistic if she was the og

I remember you going crazy for one of them being haruhi

[wintry sonnet]

actually

the one I was going crazy for

was Yuubari/I-19

Yui Ogura

[oblique mantle]

Ah

[wintry sonnet]

aka Taigei from KC

the one and true waifu

even if I quit KC, she'll always be the one and true

[oblique mantle]

Never enough of dukes va

[wintry sonnet]

Duke was Neptunia, right?

[oblique mantle]

Yes

[wintry sonnet]

hold up...

I need to recheck this

the girl who voices Duke and Neptunia

was the nurse in MM?

How was I not informed of this

[oblique mantle]

Can’t know everything

[wintry sonnet]

jeez, voice actresses are scary

AND SHE VOICED CHI FROM CHOBITS

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

does not compute

... and she voiced Rosetta in GBF

What is this rabbit hole

[oblique mantle]

Bringing famous vas from shows, or other games is always a good call.

[wintry sonnet]

I'm more amazed at how far back some of those VAs go, I'd never think that a girl who did VA for Chobits would now be voicing a character in a game I'm playing over a decade down the line

[oblique mantle]

When I learned we had motoko for Tirpitz

I was all about it

Cause ghost in the shell is good

All they need give is the va for assassin of red and Heart under blade

I’ll play those ships forever

[wintry sonnet]

please don't

back when I still played FGO, people would never shut the fuck up about Semiramis

[oblique mantle]

I prefer her over these unoriginal choices. Actually a good character

[cosmic pier]

semiramis hmmm

sounds familiar

[wintry sonnet]

I mean yes, just that the entire 2 years I played, the discord was always about 5 times a day "Semiramis this, Semiramis that"

[cosmic pier]

sounds like the assassin from fate astolfo

[oblique mantle]

Oh the fgo discord

[wintry sonnet]

yeah, that's her rei

[cosmic pier]

ah

[oblique mantle]

Yes. I had her as my pfp plenty of times, but lets go back ontopic

[cosmic pier]

me: I need to start saving red books back up
also me: pops said red books on pow's skill

[wintry sonnet]

oh... fuck

Ookubo also voiced Astolfo

shit, now I have even more reasons to farm niizuki

[cosmic pier]

lel

[wintry sonnet]

DONT JUDGE ME

[cosmic pier]

aint have had that many problems with non event elites but guess niizuki and jints might be the ones to gib some problems

[wintry sonnet]

for me it just seems that whenever there's a rare/elite CL it always ends up with misery trying to get her

[dim crystal]

Saving red book? Naaaah

[wintry sonnet]

I was hoping Niizuki'd avoid the problems since she's a DD

but nope

[cosmic pier]

one thing I dont like bout pow is that to make her actually useful I gotta dump in ships just to give her stacks aka kill oil

got nicholas, shigure and hoe shoe pretty fast

[bleak condor]

[oblique mantle]

Eh

[wintry sonnet]

I'm not gonna ask why PoW has only an aux gun

[oblique mantle]

If you love her va. Go for it

[cosmic pier]

atleast its 69 oil

[wintry sonnet]

instead I'll ask why is she equipped with a DD aux when you can equip CL aux on her

[cosmic pier]

can live with that

[oblique mantle]

I won’t stop you

[cosmic pier]

[wintry sonnet]

[bleak condor]

LOL

asking the real questions

[cosmic pier]

idk I just like the fact 127mms give both fp and aa lel

I'd pop a belgun on her to just stack FP but both I got are taken

[wintry sonnet]

[cosmic pier]

also I just like equipping my ships weird

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/528197562998718474/528882739764789248/Screenshot_20181230-140056.png

got so many peeps on general triggered

[wintry sonnet]

that'd proably trigger zuyi pretty well

[cosmic pier]

why tho

[oblique mantle]

It would

[wintry sonnet]

but if you want extra style points try something like this

[oblique mantle]

Stop

Your hurting me physically

[cosmic pier]

[oblique mantle]

That china meme

[cosmic pier]

zuyi would kill me for that

[oblique mantle]

Its about as bad as double aux on aya

[cosmic pier]

but why would that trigger zuyi anyways

[wintry sonnet]

ok, hold my beer

[oblique mantle]

Aquan if your gonna do it.

Im gonna stop right here

[wintry sonnet]

too late

[cosmic pier]

can you stop memeing and answer me

[oblique mantle]

Goodbye

[cosmic pier]

bye e🅱il

[wintry sonnet]

oof, can you even imagine if you could equip actual cranes on anyone

and then people would keep complaining "CRANE BUGGED, UNICORN NO HELA BETTER"

[cosmic pier]

I'd like it if I could equip cranes on everyone

more self heals

[wintry sonnet]

Here's another good one, put Pearl's tears

on your flagship

[cosmic pier]

I did that during my pro strats on fw

I lost fights on purpose

[ornate mantle]

So cute.

[cosmic pier]

rubi still dodging my question like a boss

I mean

aquan

eugh

[wintry sonnet]

what question

[cosmic pier]

why would the pow pic trigger zuyi

[wintry sonnet]

I was talking about belgun on Nimi

and autoloader

[cosmic pier]

that

I kept whining so much bout you not answering I forgot which ship I was whining bout

10/10

I mean

[wintry sonnet]

👌

all planned

[cosmic pier]

there's no other fp increasing aux for DD/CL

I just use loader for like 5+ fp

[wintry sonnet]

the thing about Nimi is that like most starters, you want to be able to shoot as much as poss

to proc their skills

which means using DD guns that can actually shoot fast

unlike CL guns

[cosmic pier]

but it makes it fun to use belgun or at times tbtsk on her for me

thats her charm for me

a dd just going fast round the field with cl guns

[wintry sonnet]

It's not that I dont get you fam

but Zuyi, how to say it

Zuyi is very much a proponent of optimal strats

[cosmic pier]

lol

Im just here to have fun and as long as I get to clear content with an S rank Im fine with any madlad strats

[wintry sonnet]

you don't need to convince me

[cosmic pier]

not trying to

I just have this habit of overexplaining

totally useless skill

I guess my pow could get up to 660 FP if I maxed both her skill and queen's, so useful kappa

give skin already

zuyi said he'd ban me for bulge + oxytorp on cleve screenshot

[wintry sonnet]

I'm kinda sad at how inconsistent the equipment is

you can equip torps on gunboats, but you can't equip firepower stat items on Houshou

[cosmic pier]

lol

its cuz of their class

they didnt go in depth

just "yeah oxytorp, can equip on DD/CL/CA, check
fire control radar, cant equip on CV, check"

[wintry sonnet]

which would be a fair point, but then you have stuff like german BCs able to equip CL aux, murrican BBs unable to equip them, Nimi equippable with CL guns, so on, so forth

and then for whatever reason you can equip akashi's item on other ships cause why not

[cosmic pier]

I like how pretty much every worth-its-shit Aux is available on Aviation Battleships tho, lets me take a quick look on what aux I got on what level lel

speaking of BBV

gold seaplane when

[wintry sonnet]

out of curiosity, can you equip catapults on bbvs

[cosmic pier]

notice I said "pretty much every worth-its-shit aux"

thats your answer

[wintry sonnet]

huh, well I'll be

[cosmic pier]

prob the most useless skill ingame

have it at 10 anyways

[dim crystal]

Fusou is thirsty for commander

[ornate mantle]

What a coincidence.

I'm thirsty for Fusou.

[tardy violet]

[dreamy turtle]

as long as the interests align

[past kiln]

But why Cover Fire not at slv 10 O.o

[wintry sonnet]

gratz 👏

[dreamy turtle]

oh you actually got her

I ended up around 42k oil

yeah that was a rough time

tani is build though isn't she

oof, light

I'm not delving back into that until event is over

[cosmic pier]

weeee finally got the 2 bulins from weekly for her

guess she's back on road to 100 now

[toxic scroll]

[cosmic pier]

wash pls reeeeeeee

[sand robin]

wow... maybe i should try a 2:1 for 10-3 mob fleet too

[cosmic pier]

lel

I mean it works on 10-4

should do on 3 too

I avoid 3* BBs tho, as should be obvious

[sand robin]

nice... but I don't have a high skill level washington though :x

[cosmic pier]

gonna just dump her and use Erebus instead

farming 9-4 rn and donger level seems nice enough

[sand robin]

wouldn't erebus die in 1-2 hits?

[cosmic pier]

I've cleared all w9 trash before with erebus-akashi|mahans+ phoenix, dont see a reason she wont handle it with full cleared donger level

[sand robin]

icic

[cosmic pier]

too emotionless to actually have waifus n all that jizz(or is it jazz idk) but if I had some, erebus and terror would be the top candidates

[sand robin]

the BB cats for me = =+

[cosmic pier]

I like those 2 too

I guess I kinda like every sister pair I've come across

[sand robin]

yep

[cosmic pier]

ere/terror - lex/toga - yama/sou - deutsch/spee (I mean, Im just assuming I'll like spee) - hir/souryuu - sho/zukek etc etc

just too many lel

[sand robin]

portland/indy

atago/takao

[whole veldt]

how would a line of ships be paired?

there are quite a few z series dd

[cosmic pier]

aint bothered with those 2 that much yet, but I've heard great tales bout how porkland keeps going on and on about her beloved sister

wot

[cosmic pier]

@sand robin my erebus just decided to not pop her 70% infinite darkness most of the map so she kinda got rekt

cleared 4/5 trash and almost the last one too tho

but rng

[sand robin]

the cake 70% is a lie

[cosmic pier]

it is

gonna do more after I pop pvp/daily/HM, and see if she'll pop more lel

[sand robin]

which is why i don't use Enty much too... her ability should be named unluckyE

[cosmic pier]

I 1-1'd with jav tho, she can live with an akashi helping her butt up

[digital yoke]

it's actually 60% but it's still a lie

[cosmic pier]

right, 60%

just went ahead and assumed its 70% like most stuff

woah boiz

now I gotta decide between food an BP

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/528197562998718474/529570634389258241/Screenshot_20190101-113408.png

discounts up

guess I went the madlad route and picked full course over bp

just got a 1:15 timer but it was a troll helena and not st lewds

[sand robin]

ahhhh i got the full course over bp too

same got 1:15 and turns out to be ajax :x

[cosmic pier]

F

we both got trolled

also guess its that point in time where I totally ignore looking at Item exchange shop

and just buy bulins

3 bulins weekly just dont cut it for the amount I consume

[sand robin]

need to prep some gold bullins for Amagi and Kaga

[cosmic pier]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/528197562998718474/529575176774352910/Screenshot_20190101-115157.png

dont got a rush for amagi/kaga so cant really care enough to save purins for em lel

ashigara tho

[sand robin]

should i mlb jintsuu? she's lv83 currently

[cosmic pier]

if you need the dock slots sure

or if you want stat increase and dont care bout the tiny cost increase

[sand robin]

can't really bring her to world7 and auto without mlb her hmm

[next onyx]

Happy new year, Avrora server.

[ripe mantle]

[cosmic pier]

gz lel

guess I got another poi dupe from 6-4 hm

pretty useful but gimme carrier bp

[slow drum]

do you have a higher drop rate for gold bps on harder hard mode maps?

[solar fjord]

yes

[ripe mantle]

with oath comes retro ~

[ripe mantle]

Whew

No regrets

[cosmic pier]

🚮

[cosmic pier]

mfw the buffbote grabs mvp

[somber halo]

anyone in room 1 atm?

[dreamy turtle]

Looks like a sandy invasion

[sand robin]

@ripe mantle grats. I retrofit and oath her today too XD

[cosmic pier]

just did 3 builds for the lols

got edin sandy thatcher

nice 15 medals

[wintry sonnet]

oof

choice of cruiser blueprint or 10 full courses

[cosmic pier]

I went with full corpses

[sand robin]

full courses for me too

[cosmic pier]

then I had discounted full corpses in shop too

20 total

[slow drum]

when you forget that your portland has no main gun

[rustic blaze]

For me, I won't think it's worth it unless it's like 60% or more discount. I'd rather save my gold for Rolls/LBs/Retrofits.

[unreal crow]

buying boxes 🚮

better to use gold on retroes, lb, upgrading equipment and so on

at this point i would not even buy 90 % discount boxes

ooof

[cosmic pier]

expecting gear from rng just cuz you've grinded levels

only got 1 gold barra too but dont mind that much

meanwhile friend of mine got like 7

[dim crystal]

2 rings left to divide between amagi, bbkaga and jintsuu

hmmmmm

well

I'd have to left jint out

[cosmic pier]

wish I could afford rings

[dreamy turtle]

Royal boxes are weird for me, I'm at 8 gold cudas and 0 ufo guns

[cosmic pier]

[dreamy turtle]

I suppose it's better that way since you can farm ufos

[cosmic pier]

gib cuda

[cosmic pier]

lol
