80% off for 5

Was totally worth

bought a single ironblood box, got quint mag torp

Pretty good

Would have been better if it was quad though

i'm okay with either

Quad's generally better just because less dispersion and all that

one deals more damage, the other comes out faster. not that big a deal

Unless it's 6* quint

Which is just generally better overall

But yeah main reason quad is better

Is just due to the dispersion

Spreads out a lot less

Meaning more likely to hit something

Especially in auto where mag are best

not sure

i guess if you have five, you can afford to miss with one haha

Yeah that's the main reason

4 though tends to be better than 5 unless 6* then that's better as a whole

at this point, i dont have enough mag torps. i cant afford to be picky. they're all good, as long as they're golden.

Yeah

I don't have many myself

But I do have 10 quint torps

Or was it 11

Not sure

Too many manual torps

But yeah I max out port affection and level

Just need to do it for indy now

As those 2 are the first units I really used

Btw

I do want to do an NO comp at some point

this is what i have right now

kinda weird. i got more mag torps in a month than quint torps in 4 months.

Yeah that tends to happen

i have portland maxed. maybe i should max out indy as well, but not now.

i got both of them very early.

people were like "you should totally invest in portland. she's great once she gets her kai". 5 months later, no kai in sight.

Yeah, personally I just loved both

And maxed them early

Also I fully expect to see Indy Kai eventually

Since she was actually retrofitted irl at one point

[slow drum]

indy kai would be great since shes on of my favorite cas

[stuck copper]

Yeah and would actually be able to work with Port

[wintry sonnet]

I welcome more chocolate retros

[stuck copper]

Not to mention the fact most sister ships still get retrofits even if later

Like York did

[sand robin]

so many mag torps :X

i have only 1 = =

[stuck copper]

i snag up every ironblood box i see. had some stockpiled before chessboard.

To finish my eventual backline weapons I literally at this point

Need just 1 more plane

[slow drum]

but I still don't know who my favorite ca is
its either taco, eugen or portland rip

[stuck copper]

Which is barracuda

Should be able to get another before Essex is out

[slow drum]

I got my 3rd golden belfap gun today but idk who I should give it to :/

[sand robin]

time to open hope it is a good one

[stuck copper]

BBs

[slow drum]

so amagi gets it!

[sand robin]

arrgh got a zero

[stuck copper]

But yeah I just need that last barracuda for essex

[tranquil sequoia]

Belchan

[stuck copper]

some BBs can use CL guns. belfast gun is a good choice, but it's not the only one.

[stuck copper]

I have everything else ready for carrier fleet

The movie

[slow drum]

my belfast and leander kai have one
hyuuga has a +8 purple and thats enough (and I will swap her out got amagi soontm anyways)

[stuck copper]

"Until she gets retrofit"

[wintry sonnet]

come to think of it, there's not a single dark skin retrofit

the closest we ever got was Le Mars and she's just tanned

[stuck copper]

That's actually true

retrofitting belchan turns her into belfast. it's the ultimate troll.

[slow drum]

[stuck copper]

But yeah Sara / Essex / Enty or even Lex if I'm bored

3 ironblood boxes from urgent ops. all bad though.

[keen flame]

lol on jp my hms fleet was belfast, belchan and edin for a while

[stuck copper]

I really want Essex

well...

worst case, we'll have to wait until EN anniversary.

Yar

Leveling her is gonna be as bad as amagi lol though

3 skills

Also AE is hilarious to watch

1,1,1,1,1,1

[zinc smelt]

what's that ship?

[stuck copper]

Essex

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Essex

[zinc smelt]

quite the cutie if i may say so

[stuck copper]

Yeah she is indeed

Waifu and strong

What more could one ask for

It's why I want another Barracuda

For my CV fleet

[zinc smelt]

i feel that

even tho i'd play her with Long island and Enterprise

[stuck copper]

I'd use her with Enty + Sara

[zinc smelt]

oh that would make sense, too

[stuck copper]

Sara retrofit is gonna be so crazy

[zinc smelt]

ikr

with long island you may end up having more backline damage anyways tho

[stuck copper]

Against Sara with flood

And her 203mm gun

[zinc smelt]

her gun is quite inaccurate tho

[stuck copper]

Don't forget that sara gives 15% frontline damage too

[zinc smelt]

while long island would pretty much always give your 2 big shots +15% air power from her skill

and her air strikes will always hit before your other 2 CV ones

sure retro sara's stats are bonkers

[stuck copper]

The only thing about long

Is that hp wise

She's squishy

Don't forget

Sara is a double dive too

[zinc smelt]

yeah she's a full carrier

while Long is a CVl

[stuck copper]

Cause I use helena

So damage wise

I'm covered

[zinc smelt]

well if you're afraid about your Main fleet squishiness you should not play more than 1 CV /CVL in there

[stuck copper]

Well it's more that Essex needs 3 CV

To even function

If you want her benefit to be at it's best

[zinc smelt]

well pretty sure she would fare well with only her and Enty anyways

she would still get 10% boost to Air and AA

[stuck copper]

Not to say she can't lol but like

The reason the idea works is because you're aiming to just drop a fuck ton of bombs

And splatter anything and everything

[zinc smelt]

XD

[stuck copper]

Which Sara has no issues doing

[zinc smelt]

basic USA style

[stuck copper]

Lol yeah

Cause another reason

For 3 carriers

Is because you want to nuke other planes

"When own aircraft shoots down an enemy aircraft: increase own Air Power by 1.0% (3.0%). Effect can be stacked up to 5 times."

[zinc smelt]

When own aircraft

own aircraft

she doesn't care about other planes

[stuck copper]

Yes I know that

[zinc smelt]

well she cares up to a certain point

[stuck copper]

So having 3 though increases her power fully

[zinc smelt]

nah

[stuck copper]

Giving her the most potential to do so

[sand robin]

she is too cute ><

[zinc smelt]

as most of plane fights are close to ship AA guns, too

[stuck copper]

But anyway the reason for 3 is because it naturally buffs her Aviation / AA

Meaning she becomes a monster

[zinc smelt]

Eldridge sure is cute AF

well

[sand robin]

ahhh her l2d skin has a fireworks animation

[zinc smelt]

it would give her 449 instead of 430 Air

[stuck copper]

Don't forget something

[zinc smelt]

not to say that is little

[stuck copper]

You're still gonna be using steam catapults and stuff

[zinc smelt]

but it's less than 1/5th of a catpult

[stuck copper]

Which also get accounted for

With stat boosts

[zinc smelt]

yeah you take 5% more from each catpult

and 2.4 more from each plane

[stuck copper]

Not to mention

[zinc smelt]

it all adds up but you still miss protection and barrages from the potential BB in the backline

[stuck copper]

"When Essex launches an airstrike: launch an additional TBF Avenger squadron that inflicts flood damage on hit. "

This is a fighter if I recall

Also she does more damage to BB's

[zinc smelt]

is a torp bomber

[stuck copper]

Is it?

[zinc smelt]

and she does that thinge even without other CVs

yeah it is

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/TBF_Avenger#Type 3

[stuck copper]

Ah yeah so it is

[lone sinew]

does the event HM work the same with threat level?

[stuck copper]

As in

Does it work yes

[zinc smelt]

nope

[stuck copper]

Does it reduce to 1 mob

No

[lone sinew]

[zinc smelt]

you're the 3rd person with the same question today

everyone hope in the easy Akagi farm

[stuck copper]

But yeah have you seen the Essex / Sara / Enty in pvp?

It's hilariously stupid

[zinc smelt]

ofc i didn't

she's not here

[stuck copper]

Let's just say

[zinc smelt]

[stuck copper]

It absolutely decimated Nakaga

Without even batting an eyelid

It's so disgusting

[zinc smelt]

we'll see them in a 6 months time

[stuck copper]

Yes we will

[zinc smelt]

in the meantime i'm playing PvP with fletcher fleet

and actually winning

[zinc smelt]

so

[stuck copper]

Mine atm

Sandy is 99 now though

Yes

Me big poopoo head

Me use Sandy to fight CV

[zinc smelt]

i play PoW, Yorktown, Maryland, Nicholas, Fletcher, Charles Ausburne

[stuck copper]

Btw I'm using Sandy so much to the point I already have all mats for her retrofit

"Now we wait"

[zinc smelt]

well that's not hard

i have 15 Sandy in storage

waiting

[stuck copper]

No not just sandy

T3 prints

T3 plates

Everything is ready

[zinc smelt]

this event is giving us a lot of them

also plates are everywhere

[stuck copper]

Not for me

[zinc smelt]

[stuck copper]

But yeah 20 BP

[zinc smelt]

20 BPs is steep

[stuck copper]

For 1 retro defo

[zinc smelt]

but i'm pretty much done with EVERY retro

so i'm able to pile them up

[stuck copper]

Well more like

I'm making CV players regret their life choices

[zinc smelt]

[stuck copper]

I mean when her skill procs

3500 AA

[zinc smelt]

[stuck copper]

Still got more gear to farm though

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

Honestly though St Lou place

I could put just about any bote there

And the comp would still work

[zinc smelt]

just throw her away

[stuck copper]

Lol

[zinc smelt]

and put Cleveland there

[stuck copper]

While I am leveling Clevedaddy

I want Mont more

[zinc smelt]

[stuck copper]

Mont will be amazing in that slot

Then again I could put Eld there too

[sand robin]

yeah Mont will awesome to replace sandy

[stuck copper]

Reee

[sand robin]

need another blue hair gunboat :x

[stuck copper]

There isn't any sadly

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

Funny thing is if I use Eld

I can still do "Egyptian Gods" colour wise

I can do american colours if I use mont

[sand robin]

time to start levelling other ships... amagi is lv99

[stuck copper]

"White / Blue / Red"

[cosmic pier]

eld is a bitch

[sand robin]

Mont + St lewd + Honolewd?

[stuck copper]

That too can work

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

This is why Eld is the crux of all evil

[cosmic pier]

jk she died

[stuck copper]

Even still though

She turns any "instant win"

Into a

"Let's see how long you can last"

[cosmic pier]

10 seconds

[sand robin]

she is my cute protection charm against Owarida... nai

[stuck copper]

10 secs of basically

"Go fuck yourself.png"

As you cry because airstrikes all missed

Followed by intense rage

[cosmic pier]

@stuck copper my pow can get a flat 700 (well, prob rounded up to 701) fp now thans to bit of increase from oath

[stuck copper]

That's amazing

[cosmic pier]

so useful

[sand robin]

opposing eldridge never give me any problems though

[stuck copper]

How much does her shots fire for?

[dreamy turtle]

just gotta run fox fleet now to blow up eldridge before she can act

[sand robin]

[stuck copper]

Tbf

IJN is the solution to 99% of buffs in pvp

Since most don't trigger till 20 / 30

[cosmic pier]

idk aint tried yet

[stuck copper]

I'm curious as to how hard she hits

[cosmic pier]

prob not much

a sodak proc still prob hits more

[stuck copper]

Well SoDak says

[cosmic pier]

I'll check out I guess

[dreamy turtle]

sodak just kinda... deletes things

[stuck copper]

"Screw damage formula, double damage"

Kind of thing

But the downside to it

SoDak does rely on a 30% chance for it

[cosmic pier]

guess I'll see if I can assemble a somewhat cheap USS fleet for her or sth

who'd I taste the damage on tho

9-4 boss?

or a stationary one like 8-4

[stuck copper]

Well the first shot is usually gonna land if aimed

[cosmic pier]

there's always the chance it'll miss

miss as for accuracy

[stuck copper]

Well yeah but that applies regardless

[cosmic pier]

and 9-4 is, well, roulette boss so
8-4 goes into level difference bullying tho

[stuck copper]

Tbf though

As long as you compare them both

You'll have a good idea regardless of level difference

@sand robin Tbf btw I wouldn't mind using columbia when we get her instead either

[dim crystal]

over 300 cubes

[stuck copper]

"Reduces the damage taken by the Flagship by 15% (25%)."

[dim crystal]

nothing

[stuck copper]

Ouch

[dim crystal]

save me

[stuck copper]

[dim crystal]

I whaled but its not enough

[cosmic pier]

no save option

sorry fam

[dim crystal]

[stuck copper]

[tranquil sequoia]

[sand robin]

yeah columbia is good too

wonder should i rename Jintsuu

[stuck copper]

Can do

I mean I renamed Port to Rose

Still wonder if I should have called her Rosy

[cosmic pier]

I named amagi to koff koff

Im going to hell

[stuck copper]

I named Port because of the city

Accuracy

[dim crystal]

now i understand that 360 cubes graf dude

[stuck copper]

How many SSR have you had thus far?

[dim crystal]

no avrora

then again

how many loaf of bread have you ever eaten

[stuck copper]

You've had 0 throughout those 300?

[dim crystal]

[stuck copper]

[dim crystal]

0?

well I got a lot of medals

10 apiece

[stuck copper]

I'm referring to how many SSR you actually pulled

On avg it should be around 10.5

[cosmic pier]

I needa farm some medals before today ends

[dim crystal]

5 warspite

3 hood

2 prinz

[stuck copper]

Oof

[dim crystal]

random takao belfast

[cosmic pier]

19 to be precise

[stuck copper]

I corrected myself

[dim crystal]

I WAS LIKE

PLEASE

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

[stuck copper]

Honestly I was kind of like that till around 170 cubes

[dim crystal]

2 rolls per cube?

[sand robin]

I name my foxes

[dim crystal]

[stuck copper]

Wait

2 cubes per roll

[gloomy temple]

[stuck copper]

I'm typing wrong

Don't worry about it

[dim crystal]

no takeback

[stuck copper]

hazel is best nut. i'll see myself out.

[gloomy temple]

[stuck copper]

[dim crystal]

I'm gonna roll again

[stuck copper]

Nah that would be Dry Roasted

[dim crystal]

and fail again

just you watch

[stuck copper]

[dim crystal]

[stuck copper]

[dim crystal]

I whaled like 40 rolls just now

and failed

[stuck copper]

Jesus

[dim crystal]

bought the 30$ pack

the random skin I got was shit

tanikaze

I mean

who actually USE that

[cosmic pier]

fuck

71

[stuck copper]

People who like jail

i regret spending 900 gems on rolls. could have bought a nice skin with that.

[dim crystal]

my rolls are mostly like this

[stuck copper]

Wow

That is painful to see

[dim crystal]

I got like 20 hata

already

[stuck copper]

[sand robin]

roll in 3s or 5s if you are missing amagi only

[dim crystal]

i've tried

now? I just roll everytime I got 1500

[stuck copper]

getting trapped in gacha hell is the worst. what's the chance of getting her at least once in 150 rolls? 95%?

i've been there twice. hope you get her soon.

[sand robin]

I wonder how good it is when the Azur Lane devs make a padoru skin for Renown... will you all buy it? :3

[cosmic pier]

no

[stuck copper]

very no

[sand robin]

why not? = =+

[cosmic pier]

cuz I dont got money

[stuck copper]

spinning l2d padoru renown skin for 1080 gems? ahahaha. no.

What's the chance to pull her Cal?

[cosmic pier]

droprates

[stuck copper]

well, the chance is always the same, but on average, you should get at least one the more you roll

i just used this calculator here: https://sites.google.com/view/azur-lane-general/construction?authuser=0

[dim crystal]

here come another rolllllllllllllllll

[stuck copper]

[sand robin]

all the best

[dim crystal]

bless me please

mr priest

[stuck copper]

Toot

[dim crystal]

aaaaand failed

kent

one of the four horseman of bad rolls

[wintry sonnet]

tfw you fail an 82% chance

gotta love RNGesus

[stuck copper]

yeah, that's how it works, isn't it?

"kinda yes, but no"

[cosmic pier]

calculating any probability from given droprates n stuff is just self harm

[dim crystal]

no lul

[wintry sonnet]

1729 is when it become 100%

[dim crystal]

at least this was a lesser dumpster fire

than my fucking fgo rolls

[stuck copper]

I think the issue that's being done wrong with this calculations

[dim crystal]

guaranteed gacha? here , have a duplicate

[stuck copper]

Is that they aren't accounting for the moment you pull an SSR

Which resets the probability

[cosmic pier]

I guess I chose 8-4

gotta go study so cant bother with w9 or 10 rn

[stuck copper]

If it's counting it on an SSR basis and not on a actual "get this unit" basis

yeah.

it doesnt matter what it says, you always have the same chance of getting what you want.

Yeah the chance overall is just higher because at some point

It will happen unless you're the most unluckiest person in the world

[dim crystal]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tell that to my amagi

( I dont have one )

[wintry sonnet]

so far 16 san diegos and 13 belfasts

haven't seen a single akashi

[stuck copper]

Lol

[dim crystal]

did you do

300 light rolls

or some shiyt

[wintry sonnet]

so far at 295~

[dim crystal]

like...daily or ?

[wintry sonnet]

overall in my rolls for aurora

[cosmic pier]

akashi > sandy

[dim crystal]

😦

well

I've failed to get nagara

a common

since the beginnig

[stuck copper]

i use it mostly to set somewhat realistic expectations, and to cope with rng, which isn't exactly something humans are good at.

[dim crystal]

of this fucking game

[cosmic pier]

my expectations: I'll roll as many as I can I'll either get the ship or not

[wintry sonnet]

well, the misleading assumption with RNG is that if you do a 100 rolls you'll get everything at least once

[cosmic pier]

[wintry sonnet]

since there aren't 100 ships in light construct

[cosmic pier]

meanwhile friend of mine calculated and was like "I'll get atleast 1 wash about 300 cubes" or sth

then was despairing till he got her at 470

[dim crystal]

lul

[cosmic pier]

[dim crystal]

literally me right now

would

[wintry sonnet]

where the assumption flops is that the 2% merely means 100 rolls should average at 2 amagis for example, but it doesnt have to be your 100 rolls

[stuck copper]

Btw thanks for linking that site guys

[dim crystal]

I

[stuck copper]

I appreciate it

[wintry sonnet]

it could be your 98 rolls and 2 rolls of other people who'll net amagi

[stuck copper]

on average, he likely would have gotten one.

but that's assuming you'll end up with average results, which is not necessarily the case.

[oblique mantle]

Lol

[cosmic pier]

yo evil

[oblique mantle]

Are people really doing virtual rolling

This is amusing

[stuck copper]

Basically the point is that by probability it should but again

[oblique mantle]

Rei

[stuck copper]

Nothing is absolute

[cosmic pier]

hm?

[oblique mantle]

I came here to laugh

So far so good

[cosmic pier]

nice

[wintry sonnet]

seriously tho, there need to be periodical rate ups for non-limited ships

[cosmic pier]

same tho

[wintry sonnet]

trying to snipe elites or rares in construction is cancer inducing

[oblique mantle]

So why the site

[dim crystal]

well

[stuck copper]

i find it no different from funerals. it's just people dealing with stuff they have no control over.

I can agree with that Tent

I mean like the more botes that get added

The harder it gets

[oblique mantle]

And why are people doing virtual rolling

[cosmic pier]

people need something to distract themselves with

[dim crystal]

there would be later random ships in heavy and special

[oblique mantle]

What you get is not a representation of what you will receive in game

[dim crystal]

light is 1 cube

imagine trying to get those ships

[oblique mantle]

No matter how many times you roll or what data you receive

[dim crystal]

with 2 cubes apiece

[oblique mantle]

And it will only make you madder

[stuck copper]

I'm just going to point out though

[oblique mantle]

[stuck copper]

That rng applies to normal rng

But the thing is

Games don't have a true rng system

Never have been

[wintry sonnet]

there is one I can think of that has true rng

[stuck copper]

by nature, rng is unreliable. of course the same applies to calcs.

it's kind of the point.

[oblique mantle]

Does it have a name Aquan?

[wintry sonnet]

it goes by many names, canned coal is one of them

[oblique mantle]

Mm

[cosmic pier]

friend of mine keeps connecting rng with effort being like "I put so much effort but get screwed" like rng cares bout effort

[stuck copper]

lmao

[oblique mantle]

If that were true

I would have everything in jp

[wintry sonnet]

you can literally fail the very first map with a lvl 99 ship

[oblique mantle]

And all those who just auto

[stuck copper]

"The best thing you can get from a deterministic pseudo-random number generator is a stream of numbers that has a very long cycle (non-repeating is impossible unless your RNG device has unlimited storage) which, for the length of the cycle, produces a stream numbers that meets all the other properties of a random sequence (a uniform distribution of values being the most interesting one)."

[oblique mantle]

Should fail the construction rate

If we put in effort

[stuck copper]

This is why a true rng simulator is impossible

Has it's impossible to have unlimited storage for every possible outcome

you have to press the button extra hard for better results.

[wintry sonnet]

construction's all about skills

[stuck copper]

"Because You need to write code to generates the random numbers and Code is NOT random. (It's deterministic)"

[wintry sonnet]

gotta time the button press and land on the exact pixel

[stuck copper]

It's just how it is really

[cosmic pier]

our exchange is random too

[oblique mantle]

Lol

[hushed nest]

rng ftw

[oblique mantle]

Just give me dlc

Buy it all outright

Omega whale Evil

I have a very simple definition of Pseudo Random:
Too many unknown variables to predict.
I also have a simple definition of True Random:
Infinite unknown variables

[wintry sonnet]

buying the whole game with everything available right from the get go?

[hushed nest]

[oblique mantle]

Yeah

[wintry sonnet]

what kind of archaic idea is that evil

[stuck copper]

How dare you suggest they actually give you what you pay for

Such blasphemy

This is heresy

[oblique mantle]

laughs in ea,bethesda, activation, blizzard and bandai

[stuck copper]

[oblique mantle]

Yes, what monsters do that

[wintry sonnet]

why would you sell the whole game rigth away and make just some money, when you can gate it, put it in boxes and make ALL the money

including money that doesnt exist yet

[hushed nest]

laughs in negative amount in bank account

[cosmic pier]

@stuck copper numbers are so hard to see

[stuck copper]

Lol

[wintry sonnet]

brb guys, gotta buy some lootboxes, I'm not feeling accomplished enough

my sense of pride is diminishing

[cosmic pier]

[dreamy turtle]

[hushed nest]

[wintry sonnet]

also I know I was supposed to affection farm the new ships

[hushed nest]

[wintry sonnet]

but I realised ping and ning are close to 100

and since it's an IJN event and they benefit from dmg reduction

[dreamy turtle]

But the entire story mode is an ijn event

[cosmic pier]

peak? peek?

[hushed nest]

👀

[dreamy turtle]

"peak"

[wintry sonnet]

permitted you to peak

[dreamy turtle]

uh huh

[wintry sonnet]

sounds like a doujin line

[cosmic pier]

lul

[hushed nest]

[wintry sonnet]

actually

when you read the whole line

[cosmic pier]

[hushed nest]

[wintry sonnet]

looks like translator-kun had a freudian slip

[stuck copper]

premature peaking

[cosmic pier]

i don't know, QE just looks weird to me.

[wintry sonnet]

when you think you're tryharding but it's not even close to the real tryhards

[cosmic pier]

can she level up any faster

answer: no not with my snail speed

weird flex but ok

[cosmic pier]

y'all tryhards

[stuck copper]

i just want to get this over with. not gonna bother getting more points once i'm done with the shop.

work now, rest later.

[wintry sonnet]

I'm down to 1k oil, still got the shop oil tho

[oblique mantle]

The sweetest oath line?

[wintry sonnet]

I'm kinda not sure how are you meant to get to 100k without whaling for oil, unless you stockpiled shitton beforehand

[oblique mantle]

As in heart warming?

[cosmic pier]

just farm b1 kappa

If you want non-skin lines, here's one

[oblique mantle]

Making someone not feel lonely anymore is a good feeling

[cosmic pier]

I'd say I like hers

[oblique mantle]

Giving kawakaze something to believe in is good too

[oblique mantle]

So that one

typical cat

[oblique mantle]

Then we have sheffield

[cosmic pier]

evil go away with the non en ships

thats her normal line btw

doesnt get a new one on skin

and ere expressing her love in her own way

best line lul

[cosmic pier]

yama and fusou just go on blabbing forever

Tsk tsk

How will they grow big and elite

If their only 2 stars

[cosmic pier]

they'll grow later I guess

norcal turns it into spice of life

[stuck copper]

norcal sounds like work. just netflix and chill.

[cosmic pier]

slice*

[wintry sonnet]

here's one that you wouldn't expect

[cosmic pier]

full of holes

[wintry sonnet]

Rei, dont be a degen

[cosmic pier]

you're one to talk

[oblique mantle]

Please get these lines fixed

[wintry sonnet]

we're talking about heartwarming love/oath lines now tho

[oblique mantle]

Don’t leave them as is

[wintry sonnet]

you're the one making this topic weird now

[cosmic pier]

I pull a cassin on your downes

[wintry sonnet]

not even mlbd Cassin

[stuck copper]

i'd be mad too if i were her

[cosmic pier]

go away

shoo

the non retro was closer

[wintry sonnet]

excuses

[cosmic pier]

[oblique mantle]

Rip rei

Repeating commander classes

[cosmic pier]

its ok Im used to that

meanwhile nowaki

[oblique mantle]

[cosmic pier]

[wintry sonnet]

weird

I just lost all respect for Rei

not sure why

[cosmic pier]

sorry for using ships

and she just wants protecc

[wintry sonnet]

yeah I think I'll come back later

[cosmic pier]

[oblique mantle]

Hmm

[cosmic pier]

wonder what'd she want to say

[wintry sonnet]

dont see anything wrong here

[cosmic pier]

topic change/10

[wintry sonnet]

sorry I got tired of you talking about lewding kids

[cosmic pier]

huh

[oblique mantle]

No worries

[cosmic pier]

dafuq

[oblique mantle]

I can see where were going. Lets talk about whats to come with the new u.i

[wintry sonnet]

I dont know much about the new ui actually, other than the looks

is there any new functionality?

[oblique mantle]

Believe so

[wintry sonnet]

can you finally sort ships by their morale when putting them in 2nd floor?

[oblique mantle]

Maybe

[wintry sonnet]

it's so annoying having to put them in and wait through the loading every time I wanna make sure everyone's at 150

[oblique mantle]

Easier to swap out I believe before deploying to battle

[wintry sonnet]

is the UI in JP already?

[oblique mantle]

No

Else I would speak about it

[wintry sonnet]

One thing I definitly do like is that you can now showcase the actual cg

and not just the chibi

for the skins

[stuck copper]

that's a big plus. just rewatching the video.

but actually paying attention this time.

[wintry sonnet]

that's about the one thing I got from the video, everything else is hard to tell cause it's all moonrunes and looks clustered

[stuck copper]

i don't see any oath frames.

i was wondering how they'd turn out, considering the change in style.

[wintry sonnet]

there are oath frames

tho they do look a bit subtle I guess

[stuck copper]

ah

maybe i should watch things to the end before i open my mouth.

[wintry sonnet]

might be because instead of the shine now it's just sparkles on the side

[oblique mantle]

I like it

Adds a flare to it

Not just plain and ordinary

It shows the standouts in rarity

Be cool to see a whole new file for those married

[wintry sonnet]

you mean like a toggle that lists oathed ships at the top?

[oblique mantle]

As in maybe silver or platinum

[wintry sonnet]

[oblique mantle]

For married

[wintry sonnet]

oh, you mean background

[oblique mantle]

Mhm

[wintry sonnet]

actually...

hold up

speaking of a toggle for married ships

[stuck copper]

this is a nice ui, if a bit cold. no idea why i complained about it last time.

[oblique mantle]

Good

[stuck copper]

must have had a bad day.

[oblique mantle]

So they did hear me then

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, I'm not sure if that toggle actually does what I think it does

but the heart symbol seems to imply it does something related

maybe sorties by affection, no idea

[oblique mantle]

Could be

[wintry sonnet]

come to think of it, I'm rewatching the vid now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG3a5tLomYg

I'm not seeing any heart symbol for 100 affection on Javelin

[oblique mantle]

Interesting

Placed somewhere else

[stuck copper]

i think they placed it in the bottom-right corner

it's a blocky heart

[oblique mantle]

Good that their rearranging everything

[wintry sonnet]

I think I'm going blind then cause I can't see it

oh now it's sudddenly there

[stuck copper]

2:56, prince of wales

[wintry sonnet]

yeah I see it now

wasn't there at 2:00

when you put them into a fleet

[stuck copper]

probably different footage stitched together

or not

who knows

[wintry sonnet]

I hope it doesnt mean they're hiding the symbol when fielding ships, cause that'd be an odd choice

[oblique mantle]

I’ll let you know when it happens

[wintry sonnet]

opening tech boxes tho is a bit uninspiring now

I like the gold flash we have now

in the vid it just pops in unceremoniously

[oblique mantle]

I would like a better chance of gold

I barely ever use t5

[wintry sonnet]

wouldn't we all

I'm still kinda annoyed about how we're getting gold boxes in mail stuff instead of rainbows

[oblique mantle]

Rainbows?

[wintry sonnet]

every time it's like "yaaaay I got purple equipment"

T5s or whatever they are

the ones that guarantee gold equip

I'm not huge on the whole RNG rewards, but having a guarantee that everyone gets the same rarity would be a nice start

[oblique mantle]

Yeah

[wintry sonnet]

at the very least if you get a crane from the t5 box it's still at the very least a purple plate

instead of blue like with T4s when you get purple equip (which lets be honest, is propably about 90% of the time)

[oblique mantle]

Yes

We will see

[wintry sonnet]

well, the UI vid didnt showcase any dorm changes, so hopefully they will include morale for the 2nd dorm slotting

[stuck copper]

oooh

looks nice

it looks super smooth

which is very very nice

[wintry sonnet]

phew, 2 more done

time to work on the event ships

[oblique mantle]

You mean murder them to death

[wintry sonnet]

both I suppose

Day 27: Sakura Empire still doesn't suspect me of not being an animal girl.

[cosmic pier]

is aquan lewding the children now

[wintry sonnet]

is Rei still butthurt about the earlier comment

[stuck copper]

[cosmic pier]

i dont like baseless comments

[stuck copper]

You mean a completely unnecessary comment

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

I am still trying to figure out what is going on with ashigara's "special" barrage

"Posting images of 100 aff = lewding kids"

Is just stupid at best and downright dumb at worst

[wintry sonnet]

[cosmic pier]

woah so much lewding going on

[stuck copper]

"Quoting something she actually said"

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

So...what i figured so far from Ashigara's special barrage, is that at lv 6+ gains a second round and that it has pretty decent chances to burn the enemy , but it still has a REALLY low base damage

Interesting

Might want to try a "burn to death" composition in the future: Sarakai,Atago,Belfast,Ashigara 🔥 🔥

[cosmic pier]

@stuck copper I see her barrage mostly just as giving her that buff n all that

well, that aside, I'm just maxing the skill cuz I like her

deutschland skill still waiting

has to wait till I regenerate some red books, ashi and amagi gonna burn through em all

prob after I max the bunnies

[stuck copper]

Yeah, but i want to look for some synergy since i am going to use her pretty often

[cosmic pier]

lol

as if Im not

well Im prob not

cuz too many ships I like to use

liking a lot of different stuff can get problematic cuz you get stuck choosing

[wintry sonnet]

I'll take being spoiled for choice over being forced to use 6 specific ships

I had enough of that nonsense in KC

"Here's 200 characters, btw we designed the event in such a way that only 12 of them matter"

[cosmic pier]

lul

sounds fun

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, the original idea wasn't bad

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

encourage people to use new ships so they might find a new favorite

but they doubled down on it in the worst way possible

[stuck copper]

everyone who played kancolle said its bad

i feel bad for the devs

[cosmic pier]

yet they keep playing

[stuck copper]

oh do they

[wintry sonnet]

they overbuffed the enemies with so much armor that they started putting historical dmg buffs on specific ships to make them basically the only ones that can reliably damage them

[stuck copper]

It is not bad, the gameplay is bad

[wintry sonnet]

^

[stuck copper]

oh i see

[wintry sonnet]

The characters are pretty much the only reason why I still stick with it

but the gameplay has gone so badly into the "Let's add more rng on top of rng"

and then punishing you for doing anything other than the most optimal comp

[cosmic pier]

I've heard some praise over some of the characters here and there, tho I dont remember which

[wintry sonnet]

that it no longer feels like you're playing the game

[cosmic pier]

and I know it got some nice research books

[wintry sonnet]

it feels more like you're just copying the top strat on wiki

[stuck copper]

ah damn

yeah i wouldnt do well in that kinda game

[wintry sonnet]

AL thankfully is still at the stage where you can still have fun with meme comps

and fielding your favorites

but it'll propably eventually start hitting that roadblock too

[stuck copper]

😢

[wintry sonnet]

most games of this kind do

eventually you get to the point where you just have to add stronger and stronger units

while all the old ones will remain underpowered by comparison

but you have to make the events harder at the same time

[stuck copper]

oh i see

[wintry sonnet]

hopefully they can stay on the roll with retrofits and whatnot

[wintry sonnet]

god fucking damnit

now even devs are teasing me with aurora

[cosmic pier]

lol

gl

cute skin but I'll take default

[wintry sonnet]

well fuck em, cause I'm not buying it

I dont buy skins for ships I dont own

[cosmic pier]

not a synd

[wintry sonnet]

if they want my money, they gotta give me the stuff first

[cosmic pier]

atleast restart will get his pow someday

maybe not hono but the pow is guaranteed if they do the anniversary free ssr here too

[wintry sonnet]

they will, that's pretty much a given

[stuck copper]

Aquan

[wintry sonnet]

at least I'm not the only one

[cosmic pier]

is that a chuunibyou reference

cut the slack dammit

[stuck copper]

Wait a second...something is really weird here

[cosmic pier]

hm?

[stuck copper]

The update in the 21th will give us the chinese event skins, but i am not sure if the event too

Since that event has limited construction too

Don't tell me we are going to get 2 limited constructions at the same time?

[wintry sonnet]

dont think that to be the case

I'm thinking new ships in regular construction and some mini-quest for a skin

[south seal]

does the event rewards some ships too?

[stuck copper]

Or maybe they are just giving us the Yatsen mini event instead of the chinese one

[wintry sonnet]

I'm cool with that, tho I'd rather they did that after CE

not in the middle of it

this event's already taxing as it is to get to 100k points

[cosmic pier]

yamashiro skin quest gib

[stuck copper]

But Yatsen's event needs a map too and it only last 1 week, it would fit perfectly after this event and the duration of those limited skins

So, my bet is Yatsen, and the Anshan-class will be for later this year maybe

They buffed stuff like Poi's barrage(added torps to it) and Atago's HE skill too

[south seal]

NC had a different skill too

[cosmic pier]

mhm

forgot what it was tho

[south seal]

'while in same fleet with South Dakota, increases own FP by 5% (20%) and reduces damage received on South Dakota by 4% (10%)'

North and South Heroic Duo

[wintry sonnet]

I still doubt it'll be yat sen on 21st

since it has its own maps

[south seal]

yeah

[wintry sonnet]

I'd go with yamashiro's skin

and yat sen possibly after CE in feb

[south seal]

i think this event

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Events/Chinese_New_Year

[wintry sonnet]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Events/Lead_Color_Remembrance#SP-1~

it had 3 SP maps

[south seal]

that event has a map

[wintry sonnet]

oh god please don't

enough with the fucking light construction

[stuck copper]

Yes, i just checked that

And Yatsen got perm-added to the pool in that event

[fading lichen]

when will we get the reward for the weekly login? (the 20 cubes and gold)

[cosmic pier]

[fading lichen]

oh tnx, didn't see the message ❤

[next onyx]

Cute Aurora skin, but default is better tho. Still gotta sting for people who don't have Aurora. How goes the hunt @wintry sonnet

For me, Takao and Fusou is a must buy so far.

[stuck copper]

how many times have i seen that screenshot being shown

[cosmic pier]

fusou only

@stuck copper its a new screenshot everytime

but same disgusted look from me

[next onyx]

@last kiln Is that the skin with the violin?

yeah that one is pretty nice

[cosmic pier]

all aurora's skins are great, if you're a whale you'll prob get all, if you're a poor fuck like me you'll be content with default
