[wintry sonnet]

but details

[ornate mantle]

I mean, even then...

I've never seen a Ram in easter.

[wintry sonnet]

point being I want easter skins with girls dressing up as animals dammit

[ornate mantle]

Unless I'm missing something.

[wintry sonnet]

I want Reindeerlulu to have fam

[ornate mantle]

Well obviously.

I'd love a Busty Sheep girl skin.

Maybe Enty will finally get that lewd skin with her as a sheep.

[wintry sonnet]

OH

BUNNYGIRL NORCAL

THAT COULD BE AN EASTER SKIN

[ornate mantle]

Now you're speaking my language.

BUNNY GIRL SHOUKAKU AND ZUIKAKU.

[stuck copper]

egg gear skin

[wintry sonnet]

actually now that I remember

FEH had easter skins

and FEH's made in Asia

[stuck copper]

yeah

[wintry sonnet]

so there's a chance

[stuck copper]

i sure enjoyed the fanart

[ornate mantle]

Ah true.

Spring Camilla.

And other qts.

[stuck copper]

good stuff

[wintry sonnet]

now to just pester intern to bring it up with the devs

[ornate mantle]

Whelp, I'm now very tempted to use the JP name for I-13 and change my account name.

[wintry sonnet]

if you gotta do it

why not go for her wordplay

and name yourelf Hitomi

[ornate mantle]

Huh?

Maybe just go...

"IJN 伊13"

Is she only in the chinese version atm.

[wintry sonnet]

Junsen Type A Aircraft Carrying Submarine I-13

fit that in kanji as your name

[ornate mantle]

I lose motivation with every chance I get.

[wintry sonnet]

I mean you gotta pay 300 gems just to do one name change

so it's kinda a sucky deal if you dont want to 100% go through with it

[ornate mantle]

It really is.

[wintry sonnet]

still think that's a ripoff

[ornate mantle]

"Deutschland" was already taken too.

[wintry sonnet]

you can buy 1.5 dock expansion with 300 gems

and they want that much for something that literally doesnt matter at all

[ornate mantle]

Maybe it's to discourage the name change in general.

[stuck copper]

it's a cosmetic

[wintry sonnet]

why bother tho, it's not like anyone can benefit from it

besides, we have our UID anyway

[ornate mantle]

I mean, it's weeb shit.

[stuck copper]

some people care. they pay for it.

[ornate mantle]

[wintry sonnet]

so it's not like you can change your name and the devs wont know who you are

[ornate mantle]

I mean, name changes are fun every now and then.

It's not as much about functionality as another cosmetic in the game.

It's an identity change mechanic.

[wintry sonnet]

some people paid for Fallout 76, that doesnt mean it's a good deal

[cosmic pier]

lel
was doing the torp daily, sara didnt proc at all on first run, got like 300k damage,
procced both times second run, got 240k

profit

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, but Falllout is a game itself.

[wintry sonnet]

it's just an odd thing to charge money for is my point

[ornate mantle]

This is a small segment to the game.

[stuck copper]

it is

[wintry sonnet]

look at any other game, FEH, GBF, FGO

[ornate mantle]

Can agree there.

[wintry sonnet]

all these games you can change your name as you see fit

[ornate mantle]

I don't know of any other game that charges for a name change.

[wintry sonnet]

with only a cooldown being the limit

heck I dont think FEH even has a cooldown

you can change your name whenever

[ornate mantle]

Possibly.

[wintry sonnet]

so why would you charge not a small amount of money for something like that

[ornate mantle]

I don't recall a majority of the time I played FEH.

300 gems is bout $5 right.

Exactly, Lmao.

[stuck copper]

depends on the deal

[ornate mantle]

I mean, $5 for a name change is significant =.

[wintry sonnet]

especially considering what it can get you

200 is dock expansion

[cosmic pier]

some browser game I used to play charged like 100k of the game's pretty annoying to get currency and they asked quite a buncha security questions along with it

[ornate mantle]

Wait what.

[cosmic pier]

but well not a gacha anyway

[ornate mantle]

300 gems for 200 dock expansion?

[wintry sonnet]

no

[ornate mantle]

Where can I get that deal.

[wintry sonnet]

200 gems for dock expansion

[ornate mantle]

U right.

It's 10 space.

But 10 space over time matters a lot.

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, considering we're getting like 9-10 ships every event on average

and there's still a buncha non-event ships we're missing in construction

[cosmic pier]

its gonna be less ships over the long course as we get the event ships n all that tho, well still got the subs n stuff

but after that its gonna chill down a bit

unless if they pop new big events

[dim crystal]

thats just you

[wintry sonnet]

I'm looking forward to when we catch up to JP

[dim crystal]

i got 99%

[wintry sonnet]

so we can finally chill the fuck out

[ornate mantle]

For collection purposes, it won't be strange to see people going for about 400-450 dock space.

[stuck copper]

i'd never pay for a name change, but if you think it's worth it, it's your money.

[dim crystal]

my name is perfect right from the start

[ornate mantle]

Well naturally thta's the case.

[dim crystal]

I'd never change it

[ornate mantle]

I enjoy Name Changing. Sometimes just seeing the ol' "Admiral Azu" can get boring for me.

[wintry sonnet]

that's a bad argument though, honestly

[stuck copper]

some people have so much money, they can throw 5 bucks on the floor and still be fine

[vital edge]

@ornate mantle Aren't there just over 310 collection slots?

[cosmic pier]

my nickname is one of the least stuff I could care bout

[wintry sonnet]

people will pay money for the dumbest and most useless things

the idea should be not to enable that and give justification for charging for them in the first place

[ornate mantle]

@vital edge : I mean, 310 + Farming Space.

[dim crystal]

generally you dont tell rich people how to spend their money

[toxic scroll]

step 1: does the thing the person is wasting their money on affect you in any way at all?

[dim crystal]

[vital edge]

You need 200 extra slots?

[cosmic pier]

@dim crystal go donate to charities

[wintry sonnet]

it does actually

[dim crystal]

yea

[vital edge]

30 already lasts awhile

[wintry sonnet]

Why do you think lootboxes are such a plague

[cosmic pier]

[ornate mantle]

I feel like I do.

[dim crystal]

you need like 150 -200 extra slots

[wintry sonnet]

it's because the minority of people are throwing thousands into them

thus justifyign the practice

[ornate mantle]

I have 150 extra slots and it feels fucking phenomenal.

[dim crystal]

to farm comfortably

[wintry sonnet]

it's why gachas are this insufferable

[ornate mantle]

I mean, I'm not justifying the idea of throwing $5 at this for no good reason.

[wintry sonnet]

and why FGO keeps making money hands over fist despite being widely known to be very unfriendly to its players

so yea it does in fact affect me

cause I have to put up with the fallout

[dim crystal]

it has the fanbase

[vital edge]

@ornate mantle technically, we have the same reason for AL as any other gacha game

[toxic scroll]

then don't support the product

[vital edge]

because we enjoy this game

[ornate mantle]

@vital edge : What are you arguing for?

[vital edge]

This applies to pretty much any game

Nothing really

[dim crystal]

true

[ornate mantle]

No like, I agree with the point. But I wasn't contesting that point, lmao.

[vital edge]

Just saying we don't need to invent an intricate reason to throw money into what we enjoy

[ornate mantle]

We play because we enjoy the game.

[dim crystal]

I'd preorder cp 2077 in a heartbeat

[vital edge]

which is the issue with the game industry

[ornate mantle]

Like anything in life, putting money into AL is an investment.

[cosmic pier]

time to go do this weird thing

called sleep

[ornate mantle]

And that investment carries different weights per person.

[wintry sonnet]

I'm just gonna throw this out there, I get the point of these things existing is to make money, but you can make money and not be a dick about it

that's my general point

[dim crystal]

or you can be a dick

and still make money

[vital edge]

That says it well

[dim crystal]

like fgo

[ornate mantle]

I mean, i don't think anyone here is saying that spending $5 for a name change is optimal.

It's certainly not.

[vital edge]

Look at Epic Games

[dim crystal]

well its just their thing

[toxic scroll]

@vital edge we don't talk about that..... thing.... here

[vital edge]

That's why I put a strike over it

[dim crystal]

for example steam has free name changing

while battle net doesnt

[vital edge]

I'm not seriously going to bring it up as a discussion

[dim crystal]

fgo has free name changing with AL doesnt

[vital edge]

it's been talked about to hell all week

[ornate mantle]

Battle Net has 1 free name change.

[vital edge]

Wait, battlenet offers a free name change?

[dim crystal]

previously you dont

[stuck copper]

one

[toxic scroll]

because believe it or not, usernames/user ID tags in some games do serve a significant purpose

[vital edge]

Thanks for that info

[dim crystal]

its rather new... a few years or so

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, I remember using it back int he days when I actually did play games.

[wintry sonnet]

the thing is, they dont serve any purpose in AL. They dont even matter in the long run from a service standpoint cause you can change your name, you can't change your UID

[vital edge]

auto?

[ornate mantle]

That's quality of my time.

I can study and let my girls play the game for me.

[vital edge]

Name changes in AL is pretty bad

[ornate mantle]

If I feel like actually playing i can manual at a moments notice.

[dim crystal]

if name changing was free everybody would do it constantly

so no

[ornate mantle]

But we have UID's

[wintry sonnet]

and that would be bad why exactly tho

[dim crystal]

and the auto is the best thing about AL

its so chill

[vital edge]

It costs a significant amount of gems and it locks out your previous name from use

[ornate mantle]

UID's are how we are identified primarily.

[wintry sonnet]

what inconvenience is there to be had from someone changing their name constantly

[toxic scroll]

i'm not disagreeing, the paid name change is a rather, toxic? thing to make people pay for in AL

[wintry sonnet]

it's not like you can play with them in coop

and it doesnt matter who has what name in PVP

you still gotta fight the same fleet

literally

[stuck copper]

constant name changing can make things confusing for players, but you can just enforce a cooldown period

[wintry sonnet]

[dim crystal]

Idk but from my experience with steam

[vital edge]

You could name yourself dïcksucker in AL and even then a name change wouldn't be worth a handful of gems

[dim crystal]

i dislike ppl changing names

[ornate mantle]

I mean, the In game Community in AL isn't exactly dynamic.

[dim crystal]

in general

[toxic scroll]

names are unique in AL yes

[dim crystal]

have a friend? a week later the dude change names

whooop

[ornate mantle]

Name Changes can be super annoying.

[dim crystal]

you dont have a friend anymore

so fuck free name changing

[ornate mantle]

Indeed.

[stuck copper]

depends. i give people nicknames on steam and such

if you have that sort of function, it's fine

[vital edge]

I wish nicknames were more a thing in AL

[ornate mantle]

I remember one guy rerolling accounts until he got an SSR when EN first opened up.

[stuck copper]

rerolling in AL????

[ornate mantle]

His first SSR was Blefast iirc.

[wintry sonnet]

why would you even reroll in AL

[vital edge]

like change your display name as much as you want but your username stays in your profile

Rerolling in modern gachas.

[ornate mantle]

I mean, it was at the start when the game was new.

[stuck copper]

for what purpose??/

[wintry sonnet]

that would be fine by me Mk

[vital edge]

Why the fuck?

[wintry sonnet]

have the main username and then have a nickname you can set

and sure, even put that on a cooldown

doesn't bother me

[vital edge]

What on earth does that achieve?

[ornate mantle]

Ahhhh, well. Anyways. I'm gonna sit on the rename. I still enjoy name changes, but yeah... those 300 gems better be put to good use if I do go through with it.

[vital edge]

Did that guy bother playing the game first?

[ornate mantle]

I don't know his logic, go ask him, lmao.

[vital edge]

All I wanna know

[ornate mantle]

I don't care about him anyways.

[vital edge]

is if he thinks his effort was worth it now.

[ornate mantle]

[wintry sonnet]

to be honest

[ornate mantle]

Probably stopped playing AL for all I know.

[vital edge]

Damn, I was hoping to be entertained

[wintry sonnet]

I did reroll my account once

cause I did a typo in my name

[ornate mantle]

[wintry sonnet]

and we didnt even have the option to pay for it back then

[stuck copper]

"i have no idea how this game works, but i will reroll until i get something i think is good"?

[vital edge]

Last time I rerolled any gacha was soccer spirits

[wintry sonnet]

funny thing is, the game absolutely refused to unlink from my phone

[ornate mantle]

I didn't reroll, but I wanted too since i used gems on fucking oil.

[wintry sonnet]

no matter how many times I wiped it clean or uninstalled it'd still put me into the old account

so I had to factory reset the thing

[vital edge]

I like AL for giving downsides for their best units as much as advantages

[ornate mantle]

I know one guy who lost his account.

and felt super bad because he basically ran through all the events and gotten every girl.

[vital edge]

I talked to a lot of guys who lost their accounts in #tech-support

[ornate mantle]

Up to... FW I believe.

God, I feel bad for those peeps.

[vital edge]

I constantly wonder if people even bother binding their accounts first or at all

[wintry sonnet]

I think I know the guy

he showed up on my stream one time

[dim crystal]

actually think taco is bad

[vital edge]

Most guys complaining are over lv50

[dim crystal]

[wintry sonnet]

was suggesting to him to email the customer support and see if he can work it out

[ornate mantle]

@vital edge : I can't say that is a wonder of mine, lmao.

[wintry sonnet]

dunno what happened to him since then

[ornate mantle]

I just assume everyone knows.

But is lazy.

📉

[dim crystal]

well you can get your account back if you have purchase stuffs with your card

probably

thats how it works in steam and every other shit

proof of purchase

[ornate mantle]

Honestly, I wanna know how people lose accounts in the first place.

[vital edge]

Hmm, that's not a thing as far as I saw

[ornate mantle]

Doesn't it lock your account to your phone.

[toxic scroll]

no

[stuck copper]

AL is a bit special in that regard

[ornate mantle]

Or whatever device you're using.

[wintry sonnet]

it did in my case

[dim crystal]

everytime ppl lose account because of no-binding

i was like

WHY

[ornate mantle]

But someone here said it before that it gets locked and uninstalling doesn't reset it.

[dim crystal]

just W H Y

[stuck copper]

yeah AL cant restore ur account for whatever reason even if theres proof of purchase

[ornate mantle]

Yikes.

[toxic scroll]

the day after i bound my account to my twitter, i had to factory reset my phone because let's just say i fucked up

[dim crystal]

ultra yikes

[ornate mantle]

Glad I bound it to my twitter on day one.

[vital edge]

Soft bricked

[dim crystal]

bound on both twitter and facebook

[vital edge]

ugh

reminds me of my old tablet

[dim crystal]

also the sharing button

on dorm

is working now

[ornate mantle]

I'm tempted to bind on FB, but I've heard it's basically useless.

[vital edge]

it bricked itself once a month

[stuck copper]

i bound to both twitter and fb cus i never want to leave my girls

i have it bound to both, and i play it on 3 devices. losing my account should be difficult.

[ornate mantle]

And i fucking hate FB.

I feel like binding to one is enough for the most part.

[vital edge]

I use FB messenger to contact friends and family

that's it, really

[stuck copper]

same lol

[dim crystal]

ye 1 have my account on another device too

just to be sure

[ornate mantle]

I convince myself that I do that, but I'm so busy I don't even log onto facebook for years.

[wintry sonnet]

I dont use Facefuck or Shitter per se

I only use the latter for account binding

cause that's the age we live in

[dim crystal]

i use facebook and twitter for porn

[wintry sonnet]

can't have a simple account system

[dim crystal]

liking those pages

[wintry sonnet]

or use google accounts

[dim crystal]

[ornate mantle]

I actually got into using Twitter recently. Found it very fun tbh.

[wintry sonnet]

gotta have social media because exposure

[toxic scroll]

even LLSIF uses google accounts

[stuck copper]

you're just hurting yourself by using twitter. i use fb for news on things i follow.

[toxic scroll]

no social media binding BS

[ornate mantle]

I can say I check my twitter daily at this point for basically lewds, anime, and light novels.

Mainly for AL news though.

[dim crystal]

true

[stuck copper]

but mainly for the messenger, because some people still use it

[wintry sonnet]

you can do that without an account tho

[dim crystal]

also looks like i failed in getting the cbt for that plane girls game

looks like i wont be playing it then

[ornate mantle]

Twitter has some solid stuff on it.

[wintry sonnet]

for now

[ornate mantle]

Especially when you take off the age restrictions which for whatever reason is defaulted onto accounts.

[stuck copper]

just don't read the replies. they make your head hurt.

[dim crystal]

tumblr used to be the mecca

for porn

[ornate mantle]

I find them funny.

[dim crystal]

until the 17th of december last year

[ornate mantle]

Tumblr was the last bastion for basically anything hentai.

[dim crystal]

[ornate mantle]

But yeah, I gotta really get to work now on shit... I'm gonna sit on changing my name.

[dim crystal]

its traffic dropped 34%

[stuck copper]

my friend lost her entire lewd gallery when the thing happened.

[dim crystal]

after the 18+ ban

and still dropping

as we speak

[wintry sonnet]

wouldn't be surprised if twitter follows suit sooner or later

[dim crystal]

yea

yea, that

[ornate mantle]

I mean, twitter has some massive fucking problems.

[dim crystal]

its a trend in the west these days

[ornate mantle]

But I've been enjoying it greatly thus wa.

[dim crystal]

female nipples are evil

[wintry sonnet]

as long as there's lewds somewhere, there'll always be a "concerned parent" who can't spend 5 minutes a day to check what little timmy's browsing, so they'd rather blame the platform cause we cant have nice things

[dim crystal]

it has, its just that you are not invited

[stuck copper]

i hate those parents so much

[wintry sonnet]

and when the lewd bans start rolling, AL's gonna be boned

[stuck copper]

besides, nudity isnt even harmful to kids

[dim crystal]

just made them adult onee sans with big titties

problem solved

[wintry sonnet]

NUDITY BAD HISSSSSSSSSSSS

shooty bang bang is fine tho

cause the news show it

[stuck copper]

hello there, I am evil, you can trust me

[wintry sonnet]

10/10 logic

[dim crystal]

well

the "banning porn" wave

is very concerning

like really

its like "there are porn of minors and we cant control them, so we decided to ban all porn instead"

xD

[wintry sonnet]

that sounds familiar

[dim crystal]

the UN "wink"

[wintry sonnet]

"Small minority of people keep posting lewd reactions so we banned reactions for everyone"

[dim crystal]

well

that too

just ban those people or disable reactions only for them

[wintry sonnet]

pisses me off everytime cg gets banned from posting

[dim crystal]

can discord do that

[wintry sonnet]

because some people just cant get their shit together

and apparently just bonking them's not enough

cause then all us regular folk have ot suffer

I cant even post honolulu without having to change her cg every time

cause no no no

[dim crystal]

what, honolulu is banned?

[wintry sonnet]

her reindeer skin

yea

[dim crystal]

what

that skin is ultra cute

[wintry sonnet]

you can't post her christmas cg cause too lewd

[dim crystal]

and shes a grown ass woman

i thought only loli stuffs are banned

[ornate mantle]

Her ass is definitely that of a woman.

[wintry sonnet]

can't do this, can't do that, because think of the children

and people wonder why there's less kids being born

why make more if we cant have nice things

[stuck copper]

because the EN game is aimed for Western countries?

they're not all the same though

i can see boobs on television during lunch time over here

so to me, this is all weird

i try not to judge, since there's different cultures and such, but it's still weird.

[ornate mantle]

I think this is more of a recent thing.

Especially with "certain groups" gaining more influence in certain aspects to society.

It's a really shitty scenario.

But I love AL.

[dim crystal]

we use "the vocal minority" for those groups

they are ruining every type of media

[wintry sonnet]

I just call them REEEEEEEvolutionaries

[dim crystal]

from movie to videogames

[stuck copper]

those groups aren't a thing over here

[wintry sonnet]

but yea, we're kinda getting into the political stuff, so let's get back to the boat talk

[ornate mantle]

Right.

[dim crystal]

got mogami kai

[ornate mantle]

So Lulewd's Ass is great.

[dim crystal]

only shiranui left

[ornate mantle]

Such contrast to those two comments.

[wintry sonnet]

I'm still 3k oil above cap

[dim crystal]

and goddamn denver

fuck denver

[wintry sonnet]

all this day and I barely got to D3 from D1

I cba to play at all

but I have to burn that cap away otherwise I lose canteen oil

[ornate mantle]

Being under 100k gold frightens me.

Next event is soon and I don't even have enough for a 10 pull.

[stuck copper]

put a bunch of ships you want to level in a fleet, burn 60 oil per battle. easy.

[ornate mantle]

I'm burning oil pretty fast atm.

[dim crystal]

i just kaied everything

-100k gold

those gold kais are COSTLY

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, they are killer on gold.

I'm spending a lot fo time Kaing stuff.

[dim crystal]

not to mention 80 light rolls

[stuck copper]

i only hover around 50k gold

but i keep buying things

[ornate mantle]

Thankfully, I escaped with 10 cubes lost.

I'll get Denver another time.

[stuck copper]

He named Amagi... "Yamato"...

i think i will pull more on light after reset

Some has high expectations for her

what trash puts prinz in their defence fleet

[dim crystal]

eugen is ❤

my 200 affection prinz has 6k hp at level 100

[stuck copper]

eugen is stinky

[ornate mantle]

Naisu.

Eugen is a deliciously lewd girl.

[stuck copper]

eugen is a nice kms girl. she was my first.

and she can take some punishment, which is always nice.

[tranquil sequoia]

any guesses for the next event?

[ornate mantle]

Ink Stained Steel

[stuck copper]

i think is steel stained sakura

so save up for nagato

people believe it's the nagato one

or in my case kawakaze

[ornate mantle]

I'm saving for all.

But I'd love it if I-13 was available.

Despite the liklihood of that being the case being null.

[tranquil sequoia]

aight aight

ty ty

[stuck copper]

well there was glitch in few updates ago

that had submarines

so we will get subs soon

[ornate mantle]

Honestly, that disappoints me.

One thing I loved was seeing that we were getting newer content right off tha bat.

[stuck copper]

if its new update for JP

then we will get it

[ornate mantle]

Which is especially prevalent with new ship girls.

[stuck copper]

yea

we get new content that JP gets

but

if its content JP already has then we will get the original that they did

centuar is cute

i am waiting for glorious-chan

i can't complain. we're getting enough stuff without rerun content.

[tranquil sequoia]

[stuck copper]

and it makes actual reruns slightly more interesting

like this one

monty and denver is not in limited build

oh, boy...

they're light

[tranquil sequoia]

im only missing

denver

[stuck copper]

i have rly bad luck with elites but

denver came in second 10 roll

is 50 medals

[tranquil sequoia]

i got 3 monty but no denver

[stuck copper]

it ok

denver not rly that cute

[tranquil sequoia]

i need her for collection

[stuck copper]

monty better

o i see

it ok

she not limited

so will eventually come in daily build

[tranquil sequoia]

yep

oh well

[stuck copper]

i was prepare to burn all 400 cube for monty

[tranquil sequoia]

im saving for kawakaze

[stuck copper]

kawaiikaze

will u get her skin too?

aahhh the elite spook

purple screen, not denver

of course. i got monty in one roll. that means i have to get bad luck to even it out.

i think that is tru for AL

otherwise it wouldn't be fair, would it?

during deutschen event i grinded alllll my oil for general von hipper

and she did not drop at all

and i ended up using allll my cube for her

[next onyx]

well I decided to do some builds for fun..ended up spending 120 cubes. 6 Montys and 0 Denver. Damn elites..

[stuck copper]

and force her to come to home

but after that all my drop luck was very good

got honolulu and maya and jintsuu and akagi in only very few runs

i'm willing to burn a few cubes. i have around 400 and i am bored enough to enjoy some rolls.

coins are the issue

[next onyx]

I have 388 remaining, coins are low, though so I am going to stop lol

[dim crystal]

@stuck copper how many cubes?

[stuck copper]

at least light build is only 6000 moni per ten roll

[dim crystal]

also 90 no monty?

yikes

[stuck copper]

i have 389 right now. no idea how many i spent.

1 on monty, a couple ten-rolls on my non-existing denver

[next onyx]

388 cubes and 24k coins remaining. I am tempted to do one more but I hear Nagato event is next? I will stop here and save

I wasn't gonna pull but I felt left out

[tranquil sequoia]

in this event i spent like 160 cubes

140 for ykkz

20 for 3 monty

[stuck copper]

with only 3 SRs, monty being easy to get makes sense. i will probably skip denver and rely on daily builds.

[next onyx]

Yeah, same here.

[stuck copper]

the game gave me 2 auroras, just to rub it in, i guess haha

[next onyx]

I got one of her and tons of other Elites.

[next onyx]

the wiki says 6 ships will be added to limited construction, but Kawa can also drop.

[stuck copper]

well, easier than denver, at least

[next onyx]

@last kiln How many cubes spent for Monty so far?

Oof...I had like 4 when I reached 100 cubes spent.

[tranquil sequoia]

[dim crystal]

nagara took me 6 months tho

Nya nya

[stuck copper]

Stop right there you criminal scum! You violated my mother!

[next onyx]

[ornate mantle]

Aquan changed his name.

[next onyx]

Someone actually spent gems for identity change?

[wintry sonnet]

wdym

that's my name

[stuck copper]

if u have job then 300 gem is not a lot but

if u are f2p or NEET with mom credit card then

300 gem is many

[dim crystal]

thats right

i am an office worker with moderate wages

and no family yet

soooooooooo

[stuck copper]

i am NEET and my mom give me allowance moni

so i try to be careful how i spend it

[wintry sonnet]

peculiar flex, but fair enough

[stuck copper]

300 gems isn't much anyway

[wintry sonnet]

it kinda is for something as small as name change

but I dont like using the other name so

[dim crystal]

make a suggestion then

but I dont like free name changing

[wintry sonnet]

it's been suggested multiple times before

[dim crystal]

make it cost like 30k gold or sth

[wintry sonnet]

repeating it is pointless at this rate

[dim crystal]

or 50k

300 gems

or 50k gold

or 100k

[wintry sonnet]

also TIL

the current bug with the name display on result screen

makes only the first word in your username show up

the other one disappears into a black hole I guess

[dim crystal]

no more maint

[wintry sonnet]

still dont get how they mananged to screw it up

[dim crystal]

just imagine ppl who slept thru maint yesterday

wake up to get a lot of stuffs

for free

without the annoyance

[wintry sonnet]

I'm fine with free shit so I say bring more bugs

as long as the compensation's worth noting

doesnt even have to be gems neccessarily

[dim crystal]

i buy a few thousands each time so 100 200 free gems is just

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wintry sonnet]

speaking of gems

[ornate mantle]

300 Gems is $5.

Which is a lot for my poor uni self.

[wintry sonnet]

gotta love the payday

[ornate mantle]

Hot damn.

Good shit man.

[dim crystal]

just buy the 30$ pack

[wintry sonnet]

nah, fuck the shitty bag

[dim crystal]

[ornate mantle]

Wait, is there a bag right now.

[dim crystal]

no

[wintry sonnet]

the bags are good only for when you want all the skins

otherwise you just end up with skins for characters you dont want

[stuck copper]

My salary

[wintry sonnet]

ain't nobody got time for that

[stuck copper]

I have been holding for as long as I can

but salary won't just come 😦

[ornate mantle]

Thus far.

Everytime i've gotten a bag I did the skin I wanted.

LOL.

My internet is a little slow atm.

[dim crystal]

i bought every bag

[ornate mantle]

Same.

[dim crystal]

only 2 times with the skins i wanted

[wintry sonnet]

I only bought the nep bag cause I had a 3/4 chance to get a skin I wanted

[ornate mantle]

That's the exact opposite of me, lol.

[wintry sonnet]

so of course RNG gave me the one I didnt want

so fuck this business

[stuck copper]

i did not buy the british bag or the nep bag

[ornate mantle]

I even got the St. Lewdis NY skin from lucky bag.

[stuck copper]

otherwise i have bought most of them

[ornate mantle]

Kinda disappointed that the Illustrious skin doesn't have a background.

I'm wanting to buy it.

[stuck copper]

and wtf is this collab? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmptYlrhahY

[wintry sonnet]

that's what got us PR ships

[stuck copper]

WOWS Blitz

it is different from WOWS

[wintry sonnet]

[ornate mantle]

LOL, I love how they put Graf on the flight deck.

[wintry sonnet]

I dont follow copyrightgaming so

WHAT

WAIFU GETS RETRO AAAAAAAAAAAA

[ornate mantle]

@wintry sonnet : AYYYYYYYYE CONGRATS MY MAN.

[wintry sonnet]

also why does she look like she lost 10 years

[ornate mantle]

to put you in jail

thonk

[wintry sonnet]

tch

I might have to retro her and then just use her base skin

[ornate mantle]

Tbh though I'll join you soon enough.

[wintry sonnet]

but then again, she does get facial expressions

[ornate mantle]

I-13 has earned me lifetime in military prison.

[wintry sonnet]

well, hopefully they'll treat her well on the retrofit

since she's an elite

will turn SSR on retro

so her new skill should be solid

[ornate mantle]

Oh wow, WOW Blitz is a mobile game.

Anyone else tempted to try it out?

[vital edge]

unrelated note

[wintry sonnet]

it's ok, she's Sakura empire

IJN bias will protect her

[vital edge]

Thoughts about wanting a family of 10 kids to start off with is real shit

[ornate mantle]

Guess that's what it comes down too, lol.

[vital edge]

Portland OP mom

[ornate mantle]

Portland wants 10 Indys.

So get busy.

[vital edge]

10 kids, all Indy

[ornate mantle]

[wintry sonnet]

why have 10 indies

when you can have 10 pornlands

who'll each make 10 more indies

[toxic scroll]

@ornate mantle i volunteer as tribute

[wintry sonnet]

[vital edge]

because Portmom wants 10 indies

[ornate mantle]

Uru has volunteered.

To Father 100 indys.

[vital edge]

Cool

[ornate mantle]

Make us proud soldier.

[toxic scroll]

consider it done

[ornate mantle]

Damn good.

[vital edge]

Now we can have an Amazonian tribe consisted almost only of Indy-chans

[toxic scroll]

[ornate mantle]

I mean.

AL is already basically an Amazonian Tribe.

In general.

[vital edge]

Most gachas are

most games are

[warm bluff]

[vital edge]

2019, mate

[ornate mantle]

Luna!

[stuck copper]

you don't see our girls go full savage and slash everything with their swords, spears, not gun

[toxic scroll]

has anyone actually thought of how difficult actually being a commander for an AL base would be

[warm bluff]

Azu!

[vital edge]

I have

[ornate mantle]

Tbh, dealing with all the girls that want to marry you has got to be tough.

[stuck copper]

I don't know and frankly I don't care what other ship girls think about me

[vital edge]

I don't think it warrants the concern of the girls though

[ornate mantle]

Especially since most of them don't mind going Yandere.

[stuck copper]

I do as my d--- dictates

[vital edge]

like they worry about me dying on the field

[ornate mantle]

@stuck copper : Think with your *******

[vital edge]

bitch, am I actually riding them piggyback?

[stuck copper]

maybe

or maybe you ride on their warship form

[toxic scroll]

that's a lot of ships needs you gotta meet

[ornate mantle]

Maybe you just stay on base safe and sound like the Shitkikan you actually are.

[vital edge]

That's that I thought

but they act like I'm at constant risk of death

Like I'm the one riding a horse onto the battlefield

[stuck copper]

if the enemy has some "production" ship then chance that AL base has something to carry the commander too

[toxic scroll]

i mean you really are

like

every one of your enemies knows where you are

[stuck copper]

not a girl

but a real boat or so

[ornate mantle]

Maybe the Admiral the only ship guy.

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

And he just scoots around on the water with the girls.

[vital edge]

shipdudes unite!

[ornate mantle]

Ew.

[stuck copper]

that means we can't make love

[toxic scroll]

commander has pool floaties and holds onto a rope the girls have on them

[vital edge]

You can if you're gay enough

[ornate mantle]

tbh I was thinking that too.

[vital edge]

[toxic scroll]

no such thing as a male ship

[ornate mantle]

I was respoinding to Uru.

[toxic scroll]

[vital edge]

sure you were

[stuck copper]

but the safest scenario is that the Commander just sit like a very important character inside the base

[ornate mantle]

SHitkikan sits on a floaty and lets his girls drag his bum ass on the water.

[toxic scroll]

i mean really you'd be in danger no matter what

because sirens

[stuck copper]

but assuming the girl welcome us even when we haven't finished the sortie yet

[ornate mantle]

But you need to facetank the torps for the girls.

[vital edge]

Gladly

[stuck copper]

The concept of shipgirl is flaw

[vital edge]

especially if I get to do it between their legs

[toxic scroll]

how so

[stuck copper]

unless they can transform into warship like ARP

[toxic scroll]

nope

[vital edge]

nope

[ornate mantle]

This is how shitkikan gets around.

[stuck copper]

Gunzo Chihaya has to be inside Iona in order to move around

[toxic scroll]

using female moe anthropomorphic characters based on warships from the war's major participants

still the ships

just as cute anime girls

[vital edge]

Jesus shipgirls who can skid over water

and shoot full sized artillery shells

and take them in kind

[ornate mantle]

Has anyone tried putting ships with relationships together in the dorm.

And seeing how they react.

[toxic scroll]

nothing happens

unfortunately

[ornate mantle]

Fuck.

[toxic scroll]

i mean think about this though

[ornate mantle]

I wanted to try putting Shigu and YKK and seeing what would happen.

[toxic scroll]

ships that are sisters

[vital edge]

"Who's turn is it with shikikan tonight?"

[toxic scroll]

are gonna have it hard when one sinks

*cough*

[vital edge]

every girl raises hand

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

We sunk Irisviel Yorktown!

[toxic scroll]

i really like how Yorktown looks

[vital edge]

We all do

[toxic scroll]

but i'm 50/50 on her personality

[ornate mantle]

Needs a Skin pronto.

Self-deprication doesn't do it for you?

[toxic scroll]

and she does need one

[vital edge]

ballroom dress pls

[verbal obsidian]

Pepega

[toxic scroll]

no because all i have for myself is Self-depreciation

[vital edge]

two negatives don't make a positive?

[ornate mantle]

The shitkikan we aspire to be.

[verbal obsidian]

Two oppais dont make a thigh

[vital edge]

Okay

Point proven

[ornate mantle]

Two Oppai are already complete.

They don't need to make anything except make me happy.

[toxic scroll]

Shira-toga

[ornate mantle]

Think we'll be getting Shells this upcoming core ship reset?

[toxic scroll]

i mean we haven't heard anything yet

so who knows

i'm not holding my breath

i'd say the reset after this one

is more likely

[ornate mantle]

Awesome. I guess I can safely go for the Atago gun now

[toxic scroll]

i uh

think i need to lb some ships

i super splurged on coins in the shops recently

[dim crystal]

Shells would be in patchnote

[toxic scroll]

so i could only do like 3 ships

[dim crystal]

So nope

[toxic scroll]

i mean not really

not all big changes happen during a maint

which event was it that ended a few days after a maint

[dim crystal]

Atagun is only good on atago

Tbh

[ornate mantle]

Nah, i think it'd work well on Deutsch/Spee too.

[warm bluff]

what's atago gun? 😮

[ornate mantle]

203 mm Mounted Protoype

[toxic scroll]

would work for Dutch/Spee just fine

[warm bluff]

oooh that's my first time seeing it lol

[stuck copper]

Is that gun very good?

[ornate mantle]

It's a very desirable CA gun.

[stuck copper]

Like for maya or Minneapolis?

Or mogami

[ornate mantle]

Minne is a Gunboat right.

[stuck copper]

Yes

[toxic scroll]

yeah

[ornate mantle]

I'd say for Minne use the Twin 203 Main gun w/ HE secondary.

[stuck copper]

Okay

What about for maya

Or mogami

Those are only CA I use

[ornate mantle]

Gimme a sec. I don't have Maya and don't use Mogami yet, lol.

[stuck copper]

okay

[vital edge]

Hmm

[ornate mantle]

I'd probably do an HE Main gun

[vital edge]

I just thought of something

[ornate mantle]

And then your choice of Torp.

Mag if Auto, Others if Manual.

[vital edge]

Spee and Deutsch are both "pocket battleships" right?

[ornate mantle]

Yep.

[toxic scroll]

yes

[vital edge]

Why can't we equip CL aux guns on them?

[toxic scroll]

spee and Deutsch are literally the same ship

[vital edge]

[toxic scroll]

with minor differences

[ornate mantle]

@vital edge : They use Torps.

Ah.

[toxic scroll]

because they use CA guns

simple

[vital edge]

Regular battleships and even their battlecruisers can tote CL auxes

[ornate mantle]

Duetch and Spee can't equip CL main guns right.

[toxic scroll]

they aren't real battleships

[vital edge]

So why not a pocket battleship

xD

[toxic scroll]

they can only equip CA guns

[vital edge]

Don't take me seriously here

[toxic scroll]

i never do

don't worry

[vital edge]

Good.

[ornate mantle]

I always do MK.

You decieved me.

[vital edge]

Fuck

[ornate mantle]

I believed in you.

[vital edge]

[ornate mantle]

[stuck copper]

[vital edge]

I'm sorry bro

[ornate mantle]

You've lost my faith bro.

[vital edge]

Bro, no...

[ornate mantle]

[vital edge]

[ornate mantle]

Oh wow, I hit 85.

FeelsGood

[vital edge]

commander level?

[toxic scroll]

i think i somehow hit 86 recently

[ornate mantle]

Yeah.

[vital edge]

I'm still sitting at 84

[ornate mantle]

I don't even have enough money to upgrade my Auditorium.

[vital edge]

In fact I only got to this level yesterday

[ornate mantle]

That's poor.

[toxic scroll]

it's surprising because i don't actually play

[ornate mantle]

I'm just shitty at managing my oil.

[toxic scroll]

i've had a lot of food deals for coins

so i'm poor rn

[ornate mantle]

Which is why I'm not level 95+

[toxic scroll]

somehow

[warm bluff]

i'm 500 exp from lvl 99 😄

[ornate mantle]

Congrats my man.

You are in the big leagues.

[warm bluff]

level is pointless though lol

[toxic scroll]

you don't really miss much

[ornate mantle]

I mean, I think it looks cool.

I have a few goals atm.

[dim crystal]

You only need level 95

So

[ornate mantle]

Triple Digit Levels before AX, 100% before Anniversary.

[toxic scroll]

only if you care about the lecture hall

[dim crystal]

Thats a given

[vital edge]

I'm tempted to throw a Twin 127mm on Nimi over the 100mm poigun

What do you guys think?

[warm bluff]

oh crap, speaking of lecture hall, i've literally never used it even though i wasted so much coins leveling it up fully

[toxic scroll]

127mm

[ornate mantle]

Twin 127mm has a slow reload right.

[toxic scroll]

not that slow

[ornate mantle]

I mean, which is faster.

Poigun should be.

[toxic scroll]

i mean slow, but it's a good balance between reload and damage

100mm is normal shells though

[ornate mantle]

I guess it's just preference then. I like a fast firing nimi.

[toxic scroll]

remember that

[vital edge]

The 100mm doesn't deal much dmg and her shot barrage rarely lines up in auto

[ornate mantle]

HE rounds on the T127 are basically prefered 100% of the time.

[vital edge]

her barrages both expend itself far too quickly

[toxic scroll]

you can also use the single 127mm

[ornate mantle]

Well dude, I think you got your answer my man.

[dim crystal]

When this ship is afloat

[toxic scroll]

it has the same theoretical damage as the gold twin 127mm

her not surviving is a you problem man

she evades everything

[vital edge]

I guess it's a choice between the 127 single and double

[toxic scroll]

single is faster

[vital edge]

I'll test both in D-3

[toxic scroll]

twin more damage

[ornate mantle]

Yeah man, test both and let us know what you think, haha.

[vital edge]

I just need to strike a balance for trash fleet clearing

100mm isn't suited for trash

[toxic scroll]

I'm biased, so i'm obligated to say the twin 127mm

[vital edge]

amazingly...

[toxic scroll]

the 100mm is only good for proccing skills

it does next to no damage

[vital edge]

Nimi has some high skill dps, but...

[ornate mantle]

Hm, does Nimi not have a Proc off fire skill?

[warm bluff]

the only ship i use the 100 on is eldridge

[vital edge]

She does

[toxic scroll]

5% chance to increase own FP

[vital edge]

I use the 76mm on Eldridge

[ornate mantle]

Ah yes, that's why I used the 100mm

[vital edge]

I as well

[ornate mantle]

60% increase to FP is naisu.

[toxic scroll]

the issue with the 100mm is that yeah it can proc it faster

[vital edge]

Though now I have to give auto Nimi some thought

[toxic scroll]

but the FP increase doesn't do much with how little damage the gun does

[vital edge]

Now then

[toxic scroll]

especially being normal ammo

[vital edge]

single vs double...

[ornate mantle]

[vital edge]

See y'all later :L

[toxic scroll]

[vital edge]

inb4 comes back with triple 150mm
