[cosmic pier]

i cant see her

[wintry sonnet]

must be a bug

report it to restart

[cosmic pier]

sure

@tough burrow halp

i mean, i dont get that salty at other people's drops but your attempt is commendable

[wintry sonnet]

gacha in a nutshell

you flex some and you salt some

[tough burrow]

m?

[cosmic pier]

dont mind me

[tough burrow]

I already exhausted my gacha tampering when I gave myself 100% luck with event construction, sorry

[cosmic pier]

also yup

[sand robin]

3 moah days :x

[toxic scroll]

restart can only gacha tamper his own luck

[past oasis]

Game couldn't give me the one purple blueprint to finish Downes today

[wintry sonnet]

It's ok, restart can rig your gacha if you bribe him with peruvian cantaloupes

[cosmic pier]

boss only elites are weird

[stuck copper]

Jintsuu retrofit done!

Finally I was only leveling her up through the 10 hour commissions

[cosmic pier]

lel

gz

[past oasis]

strikethrough

[stuck copper]

still trying to get Zucc Rei?

[cosmic pier]

[cosmic pier]

i guess im adding Massachusetts to my target ships list

[dim crystal]

at 280 atm

probably would get to 300 cubes on event

[zinc smelt]

300 cubes

how do you manage to?

[cosmic pier]

[tough burrow]

👏

[cosmic pier]

I've become synd now

[past oasis]

300 cubes is ez

[dim crystal]

well it depends on your luck

on previous event

[sand robin]

92 cubes 😑

[dim crystal]

it was 160 for graf

I could have had more

[sand robin]

[cosmic pier]

ps: popped 300 on DC

[sand robin]

If only .. I didn't spend 330 cubes on Graf...

[dim crystal]

320 on NEP

[sand robin]

[cosmic pier]

0 on neps

profit

[sand robin]

Hope I spend only 40 cubes this time round

[cosmic pier]

nice hops

[sand robin]

Amagi will bless me

[wintry sonnet]

back from shopping, time to do 5-2 hm

[past oasis]

[cosmic pier]

bless you with sickness

aquan aquan

i just pulled a synd

scrapped my enty and bragged bout it

[wintry sonnet]

d

[cosmic pier]

people on general chat were like "do it no balls" and i did it

[wintry sonnet]

was it mlbd enty tho

[cosmic pier]

no duh

why'd i mlb a ship i consider trash

that needs like 4 wasted bulins

[sand robin]

Stream it make a mlb 200 affection Enty and retire her

[wintry sonnet]

same reason synd buys skins for ships he considers trash, to flex?

[cosmic pier]

lol

he rich

[wintry sonnet]

also, attempting for approximately 17th time in my life to try eating salt & vinegar chips

I barely took the 3rd one and I already regret my life choices

how the fuck can brits eat this

[cosmic pier]

i kinda wish i didnt pop 3 bulins on hood and 1 on enty in the past

but well its done

rip

i eat em time to time

it burns a bit

[wintry sonnet]

there's no burn in them at all, it's just potatoes drowned in vinegar

eugh, I feel like I could swallow a steel beam and it'd melt from all the acid I'm tasting

[cosmic pier]

they burn here
but then again everything in iran is a shitty downgraded copypasye

paste

[wintry sonnet]

ah shit

I didn't clear 5-2 yet

gotta 3* it before doing donger level

[cosmic pier]

lol

thought you disliked that

[wintry sonnet]

I don't, though world 5+ hardmode means I have to run bunkerbusters and cant just run a low-cost fleet

[slow drum]

doing 8-4 atm to get leander drops so I can mlb her

[oblique mantle]

Fuck its cold

[cosmic pier]

[sand robin]

today can do some honolewd hunting

still have 3 days left to save

[oblique mantle]

Sure I’ll take a hug for warmth

[tawdry cargo]

I actually managed to hit 80 with all my procrastinating

[cosmic pier]

nice

same but 90 for me lel

time to get 56 gem commissions

[tawdry cargo]

now my coins have become rip for I am now upgrading my last bits of base.

but now I can have my final form as a merchant

[sand robin]

wow this player's escort fleet is cute

[wintry sonnet]

I hit 88 today

2 more levels and I should be good

[cosmic pier]

wonder fuck's wrong with my souryuu

guess hiryuu just kills everything before sour's can reach em

[dreamy turtle]

if one launches before the other then yeah it's usually the case where everything dies from wave 1

had that issue when I was leveling both my foxes together

same equipment but different fighter planes made Kaga launch slightly faster so she mvp'd more often

[cosmic pier]

lol

which is why I usually take my sister ships on levelling alone

but now they both 100 n all and just using em to pop HM bosses

let em be together here and there

gotta send em to pvp too maybe when I get their duo skills to 10

[dreamy turtle]

Hiryuu's never dropped for me

what stage should I farm, 3-1, 3-2, or 3-3

[cosmic pier]

dont worry, with those tiddies everyone notices you

@dreamy turtle I'd say 3-2, got my own bunnies while just clearing, but back in helldiver mines i did get plenty of the duo too

[dreamy turtle]

Ah right, 3-2 has helldiver prints

guess a few more won't hurt

[gritty kraken]

Got both Hiryuu and Souryuu

both just dropped randomly while i'm farming lol

[oblique mantle]

Its alright Honolulu, Even without such a massive rack. I’d still look at you as the best vacation spot to be at.

[lone sinew]

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

Helena drops way too much in the map named "Helena"

[frozen sphinx]

Farm that Helena for Helena. Seams right for me.

[cosmic pier]

niizuki doesnt drop enough

thanks mom

[frozen sphinx]

O ma'am.

[cosmic pier]

zuma so surprised

[ripe mantle]

cleve skin

[wintry sonnet]

called it

[cosmic pier]

I mean

it wasnt so hard to call it

also scythe skin better

[wintry sonnet]

it wasn't guaranteed to come before patch notes

[cosmic pier]

imagine all the other skins coming but just leaving out cleve skin

there was a line from intern mentioning he'd be bringing all the skins to en (all the applicable ones, that) but thanks to our dearest evil nuking general i cant find it now

[ripe mantle]

Not important tho

what is important is that i have two skins to buy now

[cosmic pier]

same

well

1

i keep forgetting spring =/= new year's

[dim crystal]

spring = chinese new year

[ripe mantle]

i just need kaga and cleve oath

[dim crystal]

2 new years

[ripe mantle]

well i lied

i only need to buy 1

i already oathed cleve

[cosmic pier]

after counting how many ships imma level, I'll prob just ditch 9-4 for the while and start levelling em or sth

[dim crystal]

finally got jint maxed and fitted

time to get back for destroyer BPs

.......

[stuck copper]

Cleveland oath skin

I feel bad because I grinded too much on the first day of Divergent Chessboard with a 1:1 fleet and managed to reset her affinity from 100 to 50

I should have oathed her. She was at 100 for a long while

I must make things right

[cosmic pier]

lul

goodjob

[stuck copper]

am i the only one who feels conflicted when it comes to clevebro oath?

[cosmic pier]

prob

I know for a fact I dont care bout the oath skin

[stuck copper]

i kinda wish they had stuck to the genderbend, but i get that people wanted her to get a dress

[cosmic pier]

I do like her n all but cant afford to get her a ring

its cuz of that dang contest ok

anyways

clevescythe is the only cleve skin for me

didnt even put a single thought in the oath skin

[stuck copper]

yeah, that one is really nice

[cosmic pier]

gentry knight is pretty good too and its L2D but still scythe better

biased towards scythes

[stuck copper]

i love the suit as well

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

i just really like the little dash of masculinity in an otherwise very fanservicey game. it's interesting.

Imo it’s a win win situation

we have her regular oath skin of her in a dress

And if you want her in a tux there’s her Live2d skin

probably, yes. because everyone gets what they want.

that's why i don't want to criticize it too much

[cosmic pier]

we cant oath her in her l2d skins with an actual oath skin coming up tho

skin*

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/525023401987932185/531529119960137728/cleveland_azur_lane_drawn_by_dust_394652411__sample-4a73a2529ed5a5eb41774856674e76a6.png

I'd take this as an skin

cleve is a ship I wouldnt really mind having even more skins than Cygnet, she kinda looks awesome in all of em,

[stuck copper]

i think she has a lot of interesting options

[cosmic pier]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/528197562998718474/531904378282442753/image0.png

wish I had as much money as this guy

[stuck copper]

would be nice, but i got used to being poor haha

[dreamy turtle]

19 oaths

a fair number

[cosmic pier]

thats just the oaths on screen lel

[stuck copper]

i could buy a ring or two, but i don't want to. i get nothing out of it.

except for a skin, perhaps.

and i don't like most of the oath skins

[cosmic pier]

being poor doesnt stop you from envying the rich

I've got about 70$ on my account

none of that my own money

too poor for that

[stuck copper]

I want an Ereshkigal skin for Cleveland

true, but i try to keep my feelings in check. you'll just live in constant despair if you envy people all the time haha

[cosmic pier]

despair is my life

[stuck copper]

and being able to sit at home all day is a luxury too, in a way, so i ain't complaining.

[cosmic pier]

born in a shitty country with barely any future

[stuck copper]

can't have everything. that's just greedy.

i see.

[cosmic pier]

dont want everything just want a shitton of money

[stuck copper]

[cosmic pier]

rip Im on the last 10 of my full corpses

[stuck copper]

i live in central europe, but i was born autistic, so there you go

a different kind of difficulty

[cosmic pier]

still cant grab a definite meaning of autistic

[stuck copper]

don't ask me. i am bad at describing anything related to myself.

to me, i'm just me.

[cosmic pier]

to me Im just me and to others Im an intolerable creature

[stuck copper]

kinda like that, yeah

[cosmic pier]

yawn I keep remembering how many ships and their skills I gotta level

[stuck copper]

person: "i am sad."
me: "okay."

[cosmic pier]

then I cri cri

and there's some ships I just gotta take their SL to 10 and cant leave at 7

which makes it harder

[stuck copper]

do you level everything to 100? because it sure sounds like it.

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

oof

[cosmic pier]

usually dorm em up to 90 or sth

then pick the rest of the levels myself

but dorm can only handle 5 at once

people already know me as a mostly feelingless asshole anyways

[stuck copper]

i have feelings, and i do feel empathy, but i kinda don't know what to do

[cosmic pier]

had to off an employee a while ago, she came about for some bussiness a week or so earlier, asked me "are you happy/sad that Im gone now?
if like was an rpg, I'd get 3 reply options being "yes" "no" and "..."

I picked the ... option

[stuck copper]

haha

[cosmic pier]

sure I got feelings but barely ever feel the need to really express em, and as a result they've actually kinda gone dull, still dwell somewhere within tho

[stuck copper]

i once told a customer to just order stuff from amazon, and she was like "really? you serious?"

[cosmic pier]

lol

guess they were more on the tone of "wtf you dont want mah monis?"

[stuck copper]

we didnt have what she wanted

what am i supposed to do? i'm not a wizard.

[cosmic pier]

lol

make the thing yourself

anyways, we're strafing too far away from the topic

rn Im levelling my bunnies sistership skills to 10, and then souryuu's individual skill, and then zuikaku's individual skin, I guess I can leave houshou's at 7 and be done with my carrier skills, then I gotta take saratoga, lex and deutsch's skills to 10 because I like em, and all of these are gonna eat a shitton of my time

dont mind the boob

[stuck copper]

yeah, sorry about going off-topic. i just like to ramble

[cosmic pier]

but I gotta level all of those too

and their skills

Im gonna take a year or two to be done with all the stuff I gotta level

[stuck copper]

i want to level some units, but the upcoming event makes me want to conserve oil

except, i'm already capped

[cosmic pier]

the most effective part of my levlling ships, like I said, is from dorm

[stuck copper]

what do?

[cosmic pier]

play a bit not too much

I put a girl on secretary, take their affection to 85-90, take themselves to ~90 through dorms, then find some time to manually level em to 100 most of the time

[stuck copper]

my tirpitz is still getting the affection gain animation, even though she's maxed

[cosmic pier]

dont really like tirp but levelling her to 100 anyways just to say I got a full set of 100/100 KMS backlinefus lel

[stuck copper]

and only her

[cosmic pier]

also she's the only non 100 backlaner I got that can handle 9-4

I can finally get my erebus and terror's affections to 200 tho but slacking xD

[stuck copper]

i like tirp. she is very reliable with fireboats, but also 15 oil

[cosmic pier]

I rarely like ships just cuz they are good at destroying enemies

[stuck copper]

meanwhile, washington just sits there and gets hit

and i'm like "did you even try, woman?"

[cosmic pier]

Im here for waifus not map clearing machines xD

[dreamy turtle]

luckily washington's a tank

good ol' murican ships

[cosmic pier]

wash doesnt get proper secondary wep tho, and 127mm is pretty junky with targetting firebotes

[stuck copper]

yeah

that's probably the main issue

[cosmic pier]

I've had a firebote go straight at her, she fired, still missed the jihad

🚮

like bitch wat

she got that nice barrage tho

makes her pretty useful

I added 2 ships to my "must get or riot" list

le mars cuz her skin looks pretty glorious

[stuck copper]

i really like swords

makes me wish we had melee combat

[cosmic pier]

lol

glowworm

and her

she's hot

also, she kinda fits in my meme fleet

[stuck copper]

she looks like minnie's mother

[cosmic pier]

lol

[stuck copper]

which is not a bad thing

[cosmic pier]

she gets buffed by USS, just like pow does, but a max stack of 3

and pow gets buffed by USS too

and my meme fleet is gonna go like

QE - PoW - Massa | Cleve - Wichi - Hel

[stuck copper]

i just find it a bit weird to see them carry melee weapons, just to not use them

[cosmic pier]

the 3 frontlines buff massa alright

and they, along with massa and QE, buff pow

[stuck copper]

ah, i was wondering what QE was doing there. i keep forgetting pow is hms

[cosmic pier]

pow skill is trash so

having QE is more effective than 1 more USS

15% > 5%

sure if you put someone like sodak/wash they will outperform the extra statboost

but thats not the point, its supposedly a meme fleet and for the heck of it

[stuck copper]

i should level ark royal. i like running triple starter kai vanguards

just for fun

[cosmic pier]

ark is pretty great

awesome design

got an slow skill

and is a lolicon

[stuck copper]

when i was new, i found ark really cool. loved her design. then i heard about her not-so-well-hidden secret

game ruined

[cosmic pier]

lol

I guess

as someone who has lolis in his arsenal of likings I didnt really mind

niizuki fuck you

[stuck copper]

is it normal for her to spam this expression?

i feel like i've wronged her in some way

[cosmic pier]

lol

looks like she just did some specific thing without lube

[dreamy turtle]

yeah that's normal

[stuck copper]

thanks

she's the only one on that floor right now. i thought maybe she felt lonely or something lol

[cosmic pier]

lol

[dreamy turtle]

I use her normal skin

I think it's cuter

[stuck copper]

i'm working on it

the last few days are the worst, and then there's maintenance

and then i spam 50 builds and get nothing

[cosmic pier]

F

lol

dock spaces dont let me mass pull anyways

[stuck copper]

i enjoy the rush

[cosmic pier]

shit

[stuck copper]

i'm a total victim when it comes to that, and i know it.

[cosmic pier]

I kinda got too distracted

lost S on boss

what if that was gonna be a niizuki

[stuck copper]

but since i dont spend money on pulls, it's okay

i have a love-hate relationship with the game's gacha

i love to rush in and dump all my cubes, but i fall into despair when i dont get what i want

[cosmic pier]

lol

Im fine dumping some cubes as long as Im safe

[stuck copper]

"screw this game. im'ma quit"

[cosmic pier]

like I did go balls in for z25 cuz I had ~500 initially

[stuck copper]

one week later, i get my drop from a daily pull and i'm like "i love you, game. thank you."

like a total sucker

[cosmic pier]

lol

I've said before, I cant let time/money spent on something stop me from leaving when I feel the time is right

[stuck copper]

sunk cost is not an important factor to me. i will play the game as long as i'm having a good time.

if i dont feel like it, i wont play.

[cosmic pier]

I might feel bad for my friends' moneys I've spent on the game tho

[stuck copper]

it's the journey that matters. as long as you're enjoying yourself, it should be worth it.

[cosmic pier]

I had 25% of my remaining sanity and feelings destroyed on the last mmo I played

never again

[stuck copper]

ff14. never again.

[cosmic pier]

I got into a drama relationship to see if I can recover some feelings
had negative effect

[stuck copper]

i spent more time on my FC than i did with my family. it was just a very bad time.

i should not play mmos

[cosmic pier]

I spent like 300$

's worth

on a game before exchange rates got like 5*d

now I cant do such stuff

[stuck copper]

did you hear?

they sell literal whales now?

[cosmic pier]

[ancient canyon]

question: they posted in #game-news kaga, is she a new kaga or the old one?^^

[stuck copper]

new kaga

[ancient canyon]

with new team buffs?

[stuck copper]

different hull type, new skills, etc.

[cosmic pier]

she's a whole different ship @ancient canyon

searchal Kaga_(Battleship)

[frail mulch]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&search=Kaga_(Battleship)

[ancient canyon]

ty,
i have to get her^^ and amagi too^^

[stuck copper]

just google indigo whale

i find it hilarious

[cosmic pier]

my long term goal is to get everyone, minus collab ships, but wont kill myself if I dont get a ship or two unless if they're on my most wanted list

[stuck copper]

but do you have all the neps?

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

ah

words

[cosmic pier]

xD

[stuck copper]

they mean things

especially when there are so many of them

[cosmic pier]

lol

my most wanted rn, ashi is only on top cuz she'll be here in 3 days

subject to change

[stuck copper]

i am most excited about the skins

[cosmic pier]

only pow skin got what it takes to get me to buy it

while the other skins look pretty nice

they dont charm me as much

[dreamy turtle]

gimme that st louis skin

[cosmic pier]

since default skins are skins too,
ashigara's and amagi's do catch my attention tho

but they dont fall in the same category

they eat cubes not gems

[stuck copper]

st. louis is just oof

[cosmic pier]

I wish I was that manjuu

[stuck copper]

when you're into legs, you're going to have a hard time resisting that skin, no pun intended.

i agree.

[cosmic pier]

heard some say she moves em like she got no bones

[stuck copper]

yeah

but that's the case for other l2ds as well

unnatural movements

[cosmic pier]

@wintry sonnet prob is counting every single second till servers are back up

lol

more dd

back to farming niizuk

gotta be careful this time tho

[oblique mantle]

God forbid I retro another dd

Hornet 2 please

[cosmic pier]

lol

might just go start levelling lower level ships from tomorrow

[oblique mantle]

Have fun with that

[cosmic pier]

thanks

need tons of bulins for em tho

[oblique mantle]

Hows your rng? Still good

[cosmic pier]

well

its rng

so varies

niizuki vs nicholas lel

[stuck copper]

whenever i get lucky, i dread getting unlucky, because i believe things have to even out

[cosmic pier]

I dont mind not having niizuki rn

she's always there

I dread missing out event stuff tho

[stuck copper]

i hope i wont drop down to 0 cubes for the 4th time in a row

[cosmic pier]

F

I'm back to 400 cubes so unless I get cucked I should be fine

[oblique mantle]

Nice rng

[cosmic pier]

thanks

[oblique mantle]

Keeping the count strong man

[ornate mantle]

I’m at 200 cubes.

[stuck copper]

234

[next onyx]

After going down to 0 during last event for Graf I have gone back up to 191 right now

[cosmic pier]

been getting more than me

[next onyx]

You probably have like 350 or so by now, right?

[cosmic pier]

420

well

[next onyx]

damn

[cosmic pier]

410 ish

[stuck copper]

i still have unopened mail from my trade license

[cosmic pier]

dont remember exact count

[stuck copper]

so, technically, i got a bit more

[cosmic pier]

I dont got the luxuries of trade license

[stuck copper]

i get 1€ off because of google play, which is nice.

[oblique mantle]

Never had to go stockpile. They fall in line

[next onyx]

Oh cool, Cleve's oath skin

[oblique mantle]

The streak will continue that way

[next onyx]

lol what the, what's up with her legs?

[oblique mantle]

?

[next onyx]

Cleave's oath skin

[oblique mantle]

That?

[next onyx]

Oh, hmm, it looks better there

The twitter pic looks kinda weird

[oblique mantle]

I see

[next onyx]

oh I think it's probably in the twitter pic she is slanted, that it looks weird to me, but in game she looks cute

I need oath ring packs then..

[oblique mantle]

Her best skin

[cosmic pier]

no

best is scythe

[oblique mantle]

Nah

[cosmic pier]

nah u

[next onyx]

@ornate mantle Here's hoping we don't have to spend too much cubes this time around

plz Amagi come home in first 10 roll

[oblique mantle]

Thats one big wish

[next onyx]

[oblique mantle]

Now I must go back to praying for a better major event for a faction not named IJN.

[next onyx]

But I am taking it slow this time. I ain't going all in like last time. fk that. 3 rolls a day until final day

[cosmic pier]

event for Others faction

only got bulins and purins

[oblique mantle]

then on the final day you panic

[next onyx]

[cosmic pier]

got another double 100mm bp instead of a nii

[ornate mantle]

@next onyx : cheers brother. Let’s hope to the best of luck that we don’t need to drop to 0 and get desperate.

I think I’ll still be going all out on day 1.

My birthday is on the 14 though, so I might just hold off on the blow out until the birthday luck kicks in.

[warm bluff]

patience is painful, going all out day 1 is fun!

[dreamy turtle]

agreed

doing 10 builds is fun

[ornate mantle]

It really is addicting.

Especially since I have 100k + coins.

[dreamy turtle]

Amagi please

[stuck copper]

i'm going to roll until i get everything anyway. might as well get it done asap. event currency from daily tasks is not a big deal to me.

though i guess you could save a few cubes by substituting daily light pulls with event ones, but since i am still in need of some light-exclusive ships, it doesn't matter.

[next onyx]

why do I get the feeling that I won't be able to resist going all out on day one?

dammit

[cosmic pier]

I just go all out day 1 and hope I get what I want

then go back to lights

if that doesnt happen then just pour all the gold I get into builds everyday lel

[zinc smelt]

saving cubes is useless

[cosmic pier]

but a necessary shit

unless if you omegawhale

[zinc smelt]

well you just save some of them between events

and then all in

i don't actually get how some ppl got 300+ cubes

without turbowhale

[cosmic pier]

[zinc smelt]

i went all the way to 0

[cosmic pier]

I have 420 ish cubes but no gems spent on cubes

no whaling

[zinc smelt]

a lot of times

lol

[warm bluff]

it's not hard to get 300+ cubes as an niap

[zinc smelt]

420

[next onyx]

Rei skipped Nep Nep event

madlad

[zinc smelt]

i'm at 90 something rn

i hope to get to 100 before Amagi

[cosmic pier]

fuck

its actually 425

not 420

its not that much being a madlad, just that i know what Im doing

[dreamy turtle]

Game's pretty generous, don't really need to whale cubes

Means I can spend more on skins

[cosmic pier]

its generous untill you need 500 cubes for your ship

[dreamy turtle]

[stuck copper]

it's generous, but you can still get very unlucky

[dreamy turtle]

I went 280 for Aurora

Got 15 Sandy on the way

That was fun

[warm bluff]

going all in for aurora is so tempting

[stuck copper]

got her from a daily light build, so yay

[cosmic pier]

just need st lewds

[dreamy turtle]

gacha rng happens I guess

AL is still much more generous than most other gacha

[cosmic pier]

niizuk bein a bitch but cant really care

dont even know how many runs

took a bit on ina and ika but got em anyways

akaga took 1 week

poi took a while but dont really care

levelled few ships there

[next onyx]

ina farm, defintely the worst for me

[cosmic pier]

and got 3 dupes last week

nichol, maya, houshou, isuzu farm were pretty nice

hono wasnt even a farm

maya was like 8th run

took me an hour to decide what ships to take

then got her 3 runs later

was a bit salty

another 100 mm

[candid scroll]

What the hell.. This next event has so many.. TOO MANY beautiful skins D: I can only afford one at a time nuuu

[dreamy turtle]

[south seal]

[south seal]

this type of trouble

[cosmic pier]

F

and I got another 100mm bp

qq

also maybe once or twice

since I got off quite fast

thankfully

[south seal]

i was able to clear it

but oh boy that wasn't fun

[cosmic pier]

my biggest struggle rn

who to pop my bulins on

so many candidates

limited bulins

[toxic scroll]

I finally maxxed Phoenix's skill

About time

[cosmic pier]

my about times would be lex and sara's, and well hiryuu and souryuu who Im working on rn

but lex has been sitting there waiting forever

well, I popped a ning dupe on her so I guess I'll give the bulin to her sis

to make it fair

then see bout the rest

[sand robin]

Aahhh need ring packs

[cosmic pier]

a true man doesnt wait for ring packs to give her waifus

[toxic scroll]

i still have a spare ring in my inventory

from the last ring pack

[stuck copper]

hands up if you still don't have aurora

[cosmic pier]

imma just go farm affection

[toxic scroll]

i'm exhausted
and it's only 5:36pm

[cosmic pier]

im always exhausted

[stuck copper]

what is that fleet

[toxic scroll]

should I go Cleveland or Belfast gun on St.Louis

[cosmic pier]

@stuck copper A fleet made of a backlaner and 2 frontlaners

@toxic scroll tbtsk for general use

belgun only if you just pitch her against bosses

like I do to cleve and hele

dd/light armor bosses at that

[toxic scroll]

my St.Louis is already at 72 affection from secretary alone

and the occasional dorm affection bubble

[cosmic pier]

mmm should I try farming zuma dupes

[toxic scroll]

Z23 is the last of the starters that isn't at 100

sad

i like her more than jav too

[cosmic pier]

that reminds me I gotta finish maxing my z1

[toxic scroll]

i don't think i've even started

i'll get around to it

[cosmic pier]

time to clear donger level on 8-1 and see what I'll do

[toxic scroll]

once i get Z46 some purins

because the ones i have are pretty much reserved

[cosmic pier]

lol

meanwhile Im having the hardest time deciding who to pop my bulins on

got like 10 non gold ships I gotta mlb

[past kiln]

I got lucky enough to get Z46 on D4 4 times, so only one was needed (well, luck, and what was probably close to if not over 200 runs)

[stuck copper]

that's really lucky

i got one after roughly 300 runs

[cosmic pier]

got 3 z46s, still needa pop 2 purins on ger

I do have 2 on hand rn, 2 reserved in pvp shop, and 1 on weekly soon n all

but I dunno who to pop em on either lul

candidates are prinz, warspit, z46, saving for bbkaga/amagi

dang prinz

[stuck copper]

i can only afford to MLB amagi, so amagi it is.

makes it easy

assuming i get her

[past kiln]

If you only have a few, wait on event is my opinion

[cosmic pier]

I got no special feeling for amagi except the fact I like her color scheme

which already gives her an edge over warspit and z46

prinz idk, kinda starting to like him cuz of all the prince x prinz stuff

"him"

[past kiln]

If that sways you, she bascially replaces Hood in pretty much all roles

[cosmic pier]

wot

yeah no I dont give half a flying frog to skills

my hood's been at level 90 54 affection for 3 months or so now

or something like that

[south seal]

well 9-4 is fun

[cosmic pier]

very

[south seal]

i can just about clear it

[past kiln]

Fidget spinner!
Or, if you prefer, SPIN TO WIN!

[south seal]

lol

[toxic scroll]

i remember 9-4 boss being really boring for me

it was just me facetorping boss a lot

[past kiln]

For manual, torps are probably your best bet, unload in her face as she starts to spin towards you

[stuck copper]

pro strat

[past kiln]

For auto, Ark Slow+BB is probably the best option

[stuck copper]

dies in 5 seconds

...sometimes...

[past kiln]

Then again, when is Ark slow + BB shots ever bad

[south seal]

'sometimes'

[cosmic pier]

I just let my wash + clevelena auto it

[past kiln]

Hmm, I did it back w/o danger level, so not sure how much easier it is now

[next onyx]

9-4? Damn easy to auto now with danger level imo

[stuck copper]

well, i'm using jintsuu, aya kai and helena, so if the stars allign, she just gets facetorped into oblivion

[past kiln]

I remember w/o danger lv not bringing actually good lv 100 (or close to) wasn't going to cut it on auto

[south seal]

i've just started 9-4

[past kiln]

So I just brought Aya and manualled the boss, since I wanted to lv random ships

[south seal]

9-3 was fun

[past kiln]

I got suuuper lucky on 9-3 and got nick in 3 (or was it 2? I think it was actually 2) runs, before even 100% the map

[south seal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/476387327623823374/531957742731001896/AzurLane_2019-01-07-22-10-00.jpg

this happened in 9-3

[past kiln]

Not sure what I'm supposed to see?

[stuck copper]

is it because they're red?

[south seal]

yep

[past kiln]

Ah, just wait until ch 10, red BB nodes will haunt your dreams

It's better now with danger level, slightly

On auto and before danger level, a single red BB node can almost kill your flagship BB if you get really unlucky

[cosmic pier]

letting auto handle a 3* bb

[south seal]

i'm 2/5 done on 9-4

[stuck copper]

yeah, good luck with that.

[past kiln]

With danger level, some setups can handle one on auto
Otherwise, bring CV/L and manual cancel, or just reset map if they block you

I used Wash/Vestal/Minnie, which could usually handle 2 red BB nodes on 10-3 on auto at safe danger level

[south seal]

lusty made 9-4 easier

[next onyx]

I am now starting 10-3. What ships did you use for your backline on boss fleet?

[stuck copper]

akaga + hood for everything.

[next onyx]

perfect

my fav ships

[stuck copper]

with helena

[next onyx]

ofc, the boss killer. I always have her

thanks

[stuck copper]

np. might still be a little rough though.

i just brute-forced those fights.

[cosmic pier]

yeeey free cv

up to 18 now

12 to go

[tough burrow]

[sand robin]

No cube commissions

[toxic scroll]

[tough burrow]

[toxic scroll]

[tough burrow]

[tough burrow]

[toxic scroll]

[tough burrow]

#discord-feedback

[stuck copper]

Siig sold us his akagi emote?

[tough burrow]

[toxic scroll]

i'm even off thursday lmao

11k oil bois

[cosmic pier]

tfw you do all non time gated weeklies day one

am I doing this wrong

[toxic scroll]

nah

[cosmic pier]

Im just settling in 1-1 messing around a bit farming some affection lel

mahans low on morale cant bother with 9-4 more rn

[sand robin]

[toxic scroll]

why am i tired

i only worked 7 and a half hours

at least i'm actually doing something in AL this time

[sand robin]

looking at the screen for too long? what you work as?

[toxic scroll]

cook

I'm a college student, not much for me to do

I'll lose a lot of my AL time come the 20th

[sand robin]

ohoh... semester/exams starts on 20th?

[toxic scroll]

spring semester starts

[sand robin]

better clear crimson event by then = =+

[toxic scroll]

it'll be ez

probably

[sand robin]

5 days should be enough to clear out the store

[toxic scroll]

remember, we're still missing subs, level caps, and so on

the cats

[sand robin]

will they substitute with an oxy torp? :3

[toxic scroll]

prolly food or books

for the mental units and w/e we don't have yet

[oblique mantle]

Nothing to worry about with this event

2 days tops if you really wanna finish it

Subs aren’t necessary

[toxic scroll]

i was just naming things we don't have honestly

[cosmic pier]

there is no sub for us anyways

[oblique mantle]

Then again. They never really make-a big impact. It should change

[toxic scroll]

idc when we get subs

[cosmic pier]

you bakahead

[oblique mantle]

Poor subless you

[ripe mantle]

who needs subs

just watch anime raw

[cosmic pier]

just need doms

[oblique mantle]

??? Wa

Completely- nevermind

[ripe mantle]

dubbed is fine too. Just no subs

[oblique mantle]

I see that emote and I know your pulling my leg

[ripe mantle]

ofc

[cosmic pier]

lol

thats good

[ripe mantle]

should never take me seriously

[cosmic pier]

some people see the emotes and stuff take everything serious

[oblique mantle]

Nothing will ever beat cucking powerless from winning with sb

[ripe mantle]

[cosmic pier]

guess I'll fuck off and sleep

[ripe mantle]

[oblique mantle]

Sleep tight, dont let the easy event give fright.

[toxic scroll]

guess i need to put my nap off to maximize my no rei time

[oblique mantle]

And may your cubes not get sucked dry.

[cosmic pier]

lol

am I that cancerous

I know I am

this weekly

[toxic scroll]

i'm just tired and idk why

[cosmic pier]

like pls

[oblique mantle]

Hmm.. the fact you save 400 cubes

Reminds me of those fate go peeps

[toxic scroll]

sometimes i don't enhance a ship at all in a week

[oblique mantle]

I just sit and watch your despair kick in when the supply gets really low

[ripe mantle]

400 cubes

[oblique mantle]

Right?

I literally run in every event with 50

But I’m cursed to get every axis girl

So that’s different for me

[cosmic pier]

there's nothing to roll for and I'll run outta dock slots if I pop cubes now

so why bother

[oblique mantle]

I need centaur

She will do nicely for my elven backline

[ripe mantle]

WAIT

[oblique mantle]

Hm?

[ripe mantle]

@toxic scroll give. that. pfp.

[cosmic pier]

I'll only despair if i dont get any of the ships i really want btw

[oblique mantle]

Oh he noticed

[cosmic pier]

else I'll be like fuck it idc

lul

[oblique mantle]

Was wondering how long till his jintsuu detector went off

[toxic scroll]

synd i'm surprised you don't have it

[cosmic pier]

synd isnt dedicated

[tough burrow]

I'll only despair if i dont get any of the ships i really want btw Can't not get the ship if the only ship you want is from the shop

[oblique mantle]

Synd bout to sell his soul for that emote

Kaga bb voice is nice to hear

[ripe mantle]

I haven't browsed danbooru today

[toxic scroll]

i think it's kinda old

[oblique mantle]

But I have to say Amagi stole the show and my secretary slot for this event

till I put those yukata girls in

[ripe mantle]

it hasn't appeared on pixiv either

[oblique mantle]

Twitter perhaps

[ripe mantle]

Mayhaps

[cosmic pier]

I'll prob put pow as secretary for a while then just go back to using secretary for affection
untill i reach a point i actually cycle between girls i like and not free affection raising lel

[oblique mantle]

I would really like Richelieu for my next event.

Her or Alter ark

[toxic scroll]

once my phone charges

i can at least lie down

or just use my wireless mouse

Wireless mouse for now it is

[sand robin]

will definitely put Amagi as secretary too once i get her.

now trying to get st.louis 's affection up

[next onyx]

Wow, it's hard to S-rank 10-3 boss..

[stuck copper]

Ykkz too strong

[next onyx]

plowing forward to take them down as fast as possible I lose at least one vanguard. Hanging back for a bit and I lose at least one backliner

[sand robin]

when will Ykkz be out :3

[next onyx]

I try but if my eyes end up following those dang torps and I try to avoid them

[stuck copper]

2-3 months probablyyy

[sand robin]

she's a cat right? :3

[stuck copper]

yeah, i can't wait to see everyone reacting to her special touch animation

[dreamy turtle]

90% off

I guess that's uh, too good to not buy

[past kiln]

Yeah, 10-3 problem I find is that if you are close enough to see when the BBs fire, you are close enough that waves of torpedos will hit you before the next wave spawns.
I just went with staggered-launch triple CV for non-stop cancels, Foxes/Illustrious+Bel/Aya/Hel could very consistently S-rank auto it at safe danger level

[stuck copper]

Aya in auto?

[keen flame]

welp 10-2 is stonewalling me

just having a hard time clearing trash fleets without attrition killing the mob fleet

hmm im going to need to level up unicorn some more then

This is the current mob team

Yea

They die way before backline

usually minnie is the first to go

followed by leander and then laffy

yea i tried bringing my level 93 max skilled unicorn in but suicide ships got her in the 2nd fight

i can swap her with nelson

time to hunt for some fire extinguishers

as i just realized i have none

[dreamy turtle]

yeah fire extinguishers are extremely necessary

don't ever scrap those

if you have vestal/akashi, would be good to level them up too

[ornate mantle]

Fire Extinguishers are indispensable now.

[keen flame]

i have both but only akashi is at 80

vestal i kinda left alone when akashi came

i usually dont have time to power grind so most of my levels come from the dorm or clearing during events/ daily quest stuff

ill do some dorm swapping for exp

ah alright

ranger would need some levels i think i left her at 92

hmm i should probably get helena back into dorm

shes probably crucial for boss fleets

this is what im working with currently for options

if we get mental models i can brute force it with going over 100

but i kinda want to start getting thru so i can setup for farming honolulu

for a while the hms meme team carried me lol

i kinda forgot about everyone else

which is biting me in the ass currently

i figured as much thanks to everyones op skills in the hms fleet

its just getting my mob fleet right

thats the boss fleet currently

i brought cygie along for smoke

[dreamy turtle]

friend of mine used HMS for bossing ch10 on auto

so yeah you're pretty much set

it's mostly keeping your mob fleet working without dying

[keen flame]

oh shit she does i forgot about that synergy

hmm ill find someone to take her spot in mob fleets vanguard then

she's only 93

so she'd be taking bonus dmg

thats when i planned on it

[dreamy turtle]

yeah, can't really half-heart farm ch10

you need strong ships to clear

[keen flame]

all of my germans are still getting their skills up

[dreamy turtle]

before you can take advantage of threat level

[keen flame]

i figured as much the problem is when i got to world 10 on jp mental models were already there

so i ended up hitting it with a full 110 mob fleet and hms team

and my jp mob fleet was both foxes and a random bb with cleve, portalnd kai and indy as the mains

so they had a cushion

for EN im facing it without all them buffers this time and it suckss

[dreamy turtle]

yep

well, people speculate we'll get level cap when ch11 arrives

[keen flame]

hopefully the exp belfast and crew have been earning counts when it happens

as im pretty sure they've got enough banked to 110

since the hms team has seen some serious shit compared to the rest of my girls

whats a good map to try and level 80s range girls thats autoable

i might try to squeeze in some grinding sessions at work during breaks

[sand robin]

we can save exp now?

[tough burrow]

save exp?

overflow?

no, not yet

[sand robin]

icic

among all the DDs.... I use Z23 and Z46 the most. followed by Poi and Eldridge.

surprisingly laffey kai is the DD i used the least among all the starter kais

(jav not kai yet)

[ornate mantle]

Wow, I haven't gotten a ship drop in 10-2 in like 8 nodes.

This is so incredible.

[cosmic pier]

[dim crystal]

[toxic scroll]

I need to get around to clearing 10-4

[cosmic pier]

just levelling their skills to 5 or sth then back to bunnies

[stuck copper]

we have now but when's :AmagiLul: dropping?

[cosmic pier]

@wet storm I see you

so

I just dropped a bulin on ping, ina, ika, and akatsuki

now gotta wait till next week

[toxic scroll]

2 cube and 2 drill comms

no oil, no coins

no dorm tokens

just exp and a chance at a drill or cube

deal
