avrora-general

[stuck copper]

Which you technically did get baited into using

[vital edge]

Alright, let's end this here

I'm starting to feel bad that I'll only have I-58

[ornate mantle]

Nah, this is gonna be everyone’s struggle period.

[vital edge]

Probably forever

[ornate mantle]

Unless you have 500 + cubes with 400K+ coins.

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

You’re gonna struggle.

[stuck copper]

I won't have much trouble

I never do

[ornate mantle]

I’m having high expectations for you.

Anyways, I need sleep now. Got work in the morning.

[stuck copper]

[vital edge]

When Avrora comes out, the real race for ranking begins

[stuck copper]

🚤

Yeah since

No one can even race ranking atm

Unless they started in the beta

[rich remnant]

i have avrora but i missed spee and akatsuki

[stuck copper]

I've missed none of the botes since I started

[rich remnant]

[vital edge]

Akatsuki was an event stage drop

[stuck copper]

I think it's because

i do not rly focus on collect them all

You either have to get 25k

[vital edge]

The fact that you missed it means you didn't do the rerun at all

[stuck copper]

Which is still quite a bit of farm

Or pray to rng

For me I prayed to rng

[vital edge]

Akatsuki dropped rather often from nearly all stages

[stuck copper]

Because I had other events

Not for me

[rich remnant]

i think i had 15k about 5 hrs before the event ended

[stuck copper]

I went for ages

Before she dropped

[rich remnant]

so i prayed for rng

and rng ignored me

[vital edge]

I had 18k

[rich remnant]

i dunno, maybe i was farming the wrong stages

[stuck copper]

13k

[rich remnant]

i was doing the d3

[vital edge]

At the same time, I had 14 Akatsuki's as I was raising points for her

[stuck copper]

Yeah rng isn't too kind

[vital edge]

I legit thought I didn't have her until I saw my dock and...

[stuck copper]

I had like 15k points

[rich remnant]

1hr before the event ended i got a zuikaku drop

[stuck copper]

I only got her once

[vital edge]

she was in the last Dyed in Red, wasnt she?

[stuck copper]

You were just really lucky

Yes

[vital edge]

I already had her copy locked without realizing it

[stuck copper]

But yeah I only got her one time

Despite 15k

[vital edge]

I was even scrapping her copies without noticing

literally 14 were the ones I noticed

[stuck copper]

Cause I was running non hard mode

[rich remnant]

[stuck copper]

Since I needed as many runs as I could get

As fast as I could

Despite that she dropped a whopping 1 time by 15k

Tbf though guys

For me this VDiR

Was probably harder than most

As I wasn't playing like everyone else was at that time

[vital edge]

We had half the time to raise 80k pts

[stuck copper]

So I had to get every bote

Even the original ones

[vital edge]

the rerun was not meant to be finished by new players

[stuck copper]

No I mean

I literally wasn't present

During the og run

[vital edge]

Oh

[stuck copper]

I didn't start playing the game till after it

So it meant rerun

I had to go full ham

[rich remnant]

[stuck copper]

Despite that I got every single bote from it

[vital edge]

I went ham with a final 10-build for Mogami before maint

I am still proud of that

[stuck copper]

Like how many rerun botes were added?

[vital edge]

two?

Mogami and Yuki were the only two new ones exclusive to the event

[stuck copper]

You missed one

Just checked

Mikuma too

[vital edge]

Who?

Ah

Right, thanks

[stuck copper]

But yeah most only had to get 3 botes

I had to get 9

[vital edge]

i saw some poor souls trying to get the cranes

[stuck copper]

I got Zkk from build

Weirdly enough

Rather than point exchange

[vital edge]

Most people I saw crying were in Room 4

[stuck copper]

Yeah they felt the pain

Like I actually went and deliberately built a lot

Then when I saw her in the build I was like

But yeah 9 botes

At least now though

I'm all caught up on the old events

[vital edge]

You know, it just occured to me

Won't we get event subs?

[stuck copper]

?

You mean like U-47 and stuff?

[vital edge]

Anything in particular that wouldn't need cubes (please)

[stuck copper]

Well there are gonna be builds with them

I mean the newest sub

Is if I recall

A W13 drop

[vital edge]

better than just cubes, I guess.

[stuck copper]

The others though if I recall

Come from event builds

So there's a saving grace in that

[vital edge]

I should've never wasted my cubes for Chaser

[stuck copper]

[lone sinew]

[stuck copper]

[lone sinew]

I want U-81

[stuck copper]

[lone sinew]

[stuck copper]

How you doing Shark?

[lone sinew]

i'm good

weekend finally

[vital edge]

Weekend, huh?

My family goes out to a resort tomorrow

I have work

[stuck copper]

[dim crystal]

Lul

[stuck copper]

Hello there, I withdrew my resignation letter

It seems I will still be here for a while

[dim crystal]

Atago secretary quest

Oh wait you dont have atago

[stuck copper]

she had?

[lone sinew]

[flat palm]

I’m scared

[stuck copper]

she is both seductive and sweet

[wintry sonnet]

welp

got 2 depth charges from the sub boxes

this is gonna take a while to build up a proper setup

[stuck copper]

Well from what I know

Boxes don't give anything beyond blue

[dim crystal]

farming for sub related gears

takes AGES

literally

[stuck copper]

depends

it's primarily the blue stuff that's hard to get

x-5 drop white gear that you can use immediately, as well as blue bps, of which you need 5.

so it's not that bad

[wintry sonnet]

and it seems to only drop on the boss node

[stuck copper]

yeah

[wintry sonnet]

you can't farm blueprints from non-boss battles

[stuck copper]

i don't think it's a big deal. there aren't that many subs anyway.

prolly a couple weeks and you're done.

How do you even get gold gear then?

i assume from events

[wintry sonnet]

you get better stuff the more maps you unlock iirc, but not sure if gold stuff's even droppable at max strength

[stuck copper]

Yeah like

[wintry sonnet]

there's some equipment available in core data and in events once a time

[stuck copper]

Checked the wiki

Apparently there's no source as to where the gear is from

[wintry sonnet]

tho i haven't seen much in terms of torpedo

[stuck copper]

i got a blue torp bp from 3-5

[oblique mantle]

Pffft

You get gold gear by praying to rng for drop as you get more missions

Hence why I don’t bother with subs

Second priority when you smash everything to bits anyways

[wintry sonnet]

hey ebil

remember when I said I'd rather roll special than light any time of day

[dim crystal]

second thoughts?

[wintry sonnet]

hardly

[verbal obsidian]

and i was all like pepega my dudes

[vital edge]

How many cubes did that take?

[verbal obsidian]

oh fk i forgot i havent been doing pvp

rip

[wintry sonnet]

I cut off at 100

which net me dace and iku

all according to plan, 100 on subs now, 2 every day for daily, should arrive at close to 200 for next event

more importantly because I got Iku, I dont feel the impatience to keep spamming

Nimu and Einacht can wait until I cross out the event construction

hey, I might as well use the fact Rei's not around to sap my luck

[verbal obsidian]

woah...being in the 2-3k region in pvp

nothing but memers down here!

[vital edge]

After two weeks

I have finally brought down my soda count to 3400 from 4500

I never bothered since curry is slightly faster than regular food

But the count was eventually going to reach 5 digits

[ornate mantle]

Same.

[verbal obsidian]

thats not a lewd name azu kun

[ornate mantle]

Only time I’m using premium food is when I’m getting 5 girls to retrofit levels.

? I-13 is pretty Lewd.

By default.

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

[verbal obsidian]

[dim crystal]

i'd feed the subs

if i have them

100 cubes got 1

holy sfucking shito

[oblique mantle]

A hundred on subs. Yikes @wintry sonnet

[wintry sonnet]

yikes as in yikes that's bad, or yikes that's good

[oblique mantle]

Yikes in general

[wintry sonnet]

or yikes, why are you even spending that much on subs

[oblique mantle]

But now you understand why I don’t see them as worth it.

I could spend spend and not even be close.

Amazing?

No

[wintry sonnet]

You just dont understand the finer aspects of school swimsuit and kneesocks combo

[oblique mantle]

One depth charge later

I probably don’t. I’m too busy wondering why surcouf got them LEGS

[wintry sonnet]

Because viva la france

[oblique mantle]

Good legs for them to surrender faster

And retreat

[verbal obsidian]

yeah no shame in whaling aran

[wintry sonnet]

I'd love to be a Marie to her Antoinettes if you catch my tokyo drift

[oblique mantle]

I see what you did there

[wintry sonnet]

I studied the fellow kids language

[oblique mantle]

Haha

Ah what am I going to do with you.

[wintry sonnet]

a sandcastle propably

not much else you can do with dirt

[oblique mantle]

A sandcastle? Nah I have better to do with the dirt

[verbal obsidian]

[oblique mantle]

For it makes produce

[verbal obsidian]

plant the seeds for a new generation

[oblique mantle]

Cover my plants

[verbal obsidian]

[oblique mantle]

Make even sweeter bounties

[wintry sonnet]

What if the dirt is polluted

[oblique mantle]

Hmm

I better put that dirt near a volcano. Let it become enriched once more through destruction.

Reuse it for better crops now that its been purified.

Profit

[wintry sonnet]

make sure you dont end up like those Pompeii guys

one day they try to harvest the power of volcanoes, the other day they're wondering why's there lava in their living room

[oblique mantle]

Worry not

[verbal obsidian]

youre quite dedicated on saving aquan from the darkness

[wintry sonnet]

but I like it in the sewers

[ornate mantle]

Subs are fucking adorable.

[dim crystal]

if you have them

[ornate mantle]

Goddamn Denver and Kamikaze.

I have 2/5 subs.

[dim crystal]

50 pulls

only 1

[ornate mantle]

Hot damn.

[dim crystal]

100 pulls

no denver

[ornate mantle]

I’m just waiting for the Nagamon reveal.

Dude where are you getting all these cubes.

[dim crystal]

farming

I got lucky

[ornate mantle]

Fair enough.

I get pretty lucky w/ 10 hr cube commissions.

Got like 3 in a row last week.

Got one this week too.

I am doing that atm.

4K extra gold adds up when you do it twice a day.

[next onyx]

same here

just drop already. boss node is a pain

[dim crystal]

just get lucky

lul

same

but nah

we wont get PR

until right before w12

I believe

[oblique mantle]

I have lugged many from the path. Aquan would be no exception, Hell I backpacked rime from it. And that man is hella lewd

Put the team on my back man

[verbal obsidian]

@ornate mantle hands where i can see em

[ornate mantle]

ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(;￣◇￣)┘

[verbal obsidian]

[wintry sonnet]

Omoshiroi

Not sure if you can manage, since I'm an out-of-closet pervert but feel free to try

[verbal obsidian]

same i love to lewd some waifus

[oblique mantle]

That's alright. your not a loli lover so your within the influence boundary

[ornate mantle]

I am prepared for jail time.

[verbal obsidian]

theres no running azu

theres no waifus in jail

[wintry sonnet]

but there are in criminal girls

[lone sinew]

does Graf def skill effect subs

[wintry sonnet]

yes and no

it affects all the ironblood ships in the fleet

but subs are technically a separate fleet

[ornate mantle]

I-13 is a criminal since she stole my heart.

Goddamn already.

[wintry sonnet]

well, there we go

Asashio and Ooshio

so Nagato event next week

[ornate mantle]

Hot damn. This is gonna be amazing.

I’m at 350 cubes though.

So fml.

[flat palm]

I’m at 90 azu

[ornate mantle]

We’re all fucked.

[flat palm]

Also isn’t it more like in 2 weeks?

[ornate mantle]

Shush

NEIN

[wintry sonnet]

somehow doubtful they'd give us 2 weeks

but who knows

[flat palm]

Well we just had a patch yday so idk

I hope they will

[ornate mantle]

I hope it’s ASAP.

[wintry sonnet]

hasn't that been the norm recently

patch every week?

[flat palm]

Uh I lost count lol

It’s a major event tho

[ornate mantle]

How much coins we at y’all?

[flat palm]

100k

[dim crystal]

so

[ornate mantle]

You fuckin mg god

[flat palm]

But only 90 cubes is rough

[dim crystal]

ITS NAGAGAGAGATO

after all

[ornate mantle]

What the shit

Lmao

[flat palm]

I think I only get like... 20-30 more cubes in a week from f2p?

[dim crystal]

would she be the fastest oath I have ever did?

probably

[flat palm]

Maybe it’s my time to get lucky and get nagamom in 70 builds

[dim crystal]

[flat palm]

I hope so

Last two events have not been nice to me

[ornate mantle]

@flat palm : approximately 40

Or even 50 tbh.

[flat palm]

Yeah I’ll get like 7-8 multis day one I think for nagato

Hope it’s enough

[dim crystal]

just

[ornate mantle]

24 guaranteed weekly, but factor in cubes gained via Commission it can get super high.

[flat palm]

But I need gems for ring and nagato skin

[ornate mantle]

Assuming you do 1 light a day.

[flat palm]

(I assume we’ll get the new nagato skin anyway?)

[dim crystal]

the oath skin is enough

who cares about anything else

[flat palm]

I love her new one more

[ornate mantle]

I need the Nagamon skin

[dim crystal]

actually I'd oath yamato even faster

[flat palm]

Also what if they cheese us like ykkz and don’t even give us the oath skin yet

[wintry sonnet]

inb4 we get bamboozled

[dim crystal]

[wintry sonnet]

and they throw mikasa event in the middle of nagato one

[ornate mantle]

I’m anticipating.

[dim crystal]

you expect NAGATOTOTOTO

[ornate mantle]

A surprise I-13 reveal.

[dim crystal]

but it was ME

MEEKASA

https://tenor.com/view/mikasa-gif-9009893

[flat palm]

Azu you need to start a riot to get rerun content for your waifu

[dim crystal]

[flat palm]

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, riot. Like how that’s gone so well in the past.

[dim crystal]

well

it works

[flat palm]

It did tho 👀

[dim crystal]

[flat palm]

But it came at a price (that I think we had to pay anyway)

[dim crystal]

its just $80

[ornate mantle]

@last kiln : that’s like a month of food for me tbh.

[dim crystal]

dont sweat it

[ornate mantle]

LOLOL

You got what you wanted though.

[flat palm]

I just skip lunch most days to buy gems if I need it and go eat home instead ._.

[ornate mantle]

No regretting it.

See, I’m prone to migraines without food.

Jesus man.

[flat palm]

I always do 2-3 10hr comms a day when big events are near

[ornate mantle]

I know.

How you feel.

[flat palm]

And don’t even play

[ornate mantle]

Neptunia left me scarred.

[dim crystal]

i always do 1k com

[ornate mantle]

I always do 10hr commas as wel.

[dim crystal]

coz i dont grind much

only at level 96

[flat palm]

Though tbh I think it’s bs that kawa is also 2% rate up when she’s a drop ship

I don’t think that many ppl care for her when nagato exists that event

[dim crystal]

pfff

just grind 4 her

[flat palm]

Yeah but I have ptsd from getting the other 2% ship like x7

Before the one I wanted

._.

[dim crystal]

my ptsd point was 400 cubes mullany

getting jebaited by 0:28

[flat palm]

Mine was this vdir event lol

[dim crystal]

by every single fuckign beaver

in the game

[flat palm]

6 fking zuikakus and 28 nowaki before ykkz

[dim crystal]

28

just imagine the yamato/bismarck gacha

[flat palm]

Yea she was like 4.5%?

She showed up 1-2 times every multi

[dim crystal]

or yamato and bismarck in the same event

[flat palm]

Sometimes even 3

[vital edge]

inb4 it's a "choose a side" event

[dim crystal]

that would be ultra giga roll

[vital edge]

pick between Yamato or Bis.

[dim crystal]

well shit

ppl would riot

[vital edge]

for shits and giggles

[flat palm]

Lol

Nagamom is gonna take over pvp

[dim crystal]

nah

[flat palm]

Friendship ended with amagi, now nagato is my best friend

[dim crystal]

i cant see her beating amakaga

[flat palm]

She does

By a lot

[dim crystal]

shes kinda random

[vital edge]

Her skillset isn't strong enough to overshadow Amagi

rather, I see people using Naga with Amagi

[dim crystal]

you win if the 50% barrage procs

yea

CN ppl using nagato amagi warspitekai

as backline

and ykkz frontline + 1 IJN + juneau

ultra tryhard

[vital edge]

Yuki + Juneau is cancerous

already saw it

[dim crystal]

that is known

[vital edge]

Juneau has 100% chance to actually do her job

[dim crystal]

you have to reset one or two time

against them

[flat palm]

You do realize that nagato has a permanent Sakura empire buff right

With literally 20% dmg to akaga

[vital edge]

it's 10% fp buff

the other one is accuracy and I forgot the other

but it's not 20%

[flat palm]

Additionally, increases Sakura Empire aircraft carrier damage (does not affect Aviation Battleships) toward enemy by 5% (20%).

[vital edge]

oh

[flat palm]

Yea it is

[vital edge]

that

you meant carrier

[dim crystal]

we will see

🤔

the thing is the 6s barrage meme of amagi

[vital edge]

^

[dim crystal]

is still the best in gensui rush

[flat palm]

I mean you run 381mm in nagato in pvp and if her barrage procs even once it’s gg

[dim crystal]

ye

[vital edge]

Well, no point arguing about who's better now

We should actually look at what happens

[next onyx]

are those new ships tied to the Nagato event?

[dim crystal]

in CN they are at the same tier

[flat palm]

Yes psy

[next onyx]

Woot!

[dim crystal]

WOOOOOOT!

[flat palm]

You have seen how disgusting nagato barrage is right

[next onyx]

I just imagined that in palpatines's voice

[dim crystal]

[flat palm]

She literally cums all over the screen

[next onyx]

[flat palm]

https://youtu.be/4dOYP1U5GtI

[next onyx]

oh my

[dim crystal]

its a 40% barrage

[flat palm]

I mean it’d be even more broken at any higher

[dim crystal]

by the time nagato might shot the barrage

[flat palm]

It’s the highest dmg barrage besides monarch

[dim crystal]

amagi could have gotten 2 out

[flat palm]

But monarch doesn’t have nagato utility

[dim crystal]

in CN they are at the same tier

[flat palm]

That’s because they have warspite kai

[dim crystal]

and ppl are fielding them with warkai

[flat palm]

The comp pre warspite kai was Sendai Sirius aurora nagato akaga

Like 90% of people were running it

[dim crystal]

after warkai running akaga is risky

[flat palm]

Yea but we don’t have her lol

[dim crystal]

unless you run warkai with akaga

[flat palm]

And prob won’t for a long time

[next onyx]

well looking up the event, my cube amount should be enough, but then I remember how many cubes I spent just for Graf

[dim crystal]

160 graf here

i consider that a YUGE success

[ornate mantle]

100 cubes for Graf.

[dim crystal]

DAMN YOU

[ornate mantle]

[lone sinew]

i finally got u-81

[flat palm]

Pog got the cube 10hr comission

My favourite

[verbal obsidian]

@lone sinew NO U

[dim crystal]

NO NO U

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

@lone sinew : that really is poggers.

[flat palm]

Good thing there’s no U-69

[ornate mantle]

not yet

[verbal obsidian]

im taking away your oneesans

u sick degenerate

[dim crystal]

its treason then

[flat palm]

have mercy officer

[ornate mantle]

@verbal obsidian

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

LMAO.

[wintry sonnet]

not true

Belette's pretty flat

[ornate mantle]

You mean Bel-Chan?

[flat palm]

Asashio is your kinda ship aint it azu

Shes hella cute

[wintry sonnet]

who's Bel-chan

I don't speak weeb

it still has 6 maps

A1 to A-4, B1 to B2

because reasons

[flat palm]

You can farm gold cata in INK ?

Wew

[wintry sonnet]

good

I really need more gold catas

[flat palm]

So im guessing kawa drops in d2?

[wintry sonnet]

reaaaaally need more gold catas

[toxic scroll]

And I need more dorm supplies space

[flat palm]

https://youtu.be/WDZ9NnAICCE this is one of my favourite ost’s in AL

And its from this event

[ornate mantle]

@flat palm : Ooshio.

Not Asashio

[flat palm]

[verbal obsidian]

kongou haruna and kawakaze

idc about the other lolis like nagato

[flat palm]

The en tweet says asashio

[verbal obsidian]

ooshio and asashio are two dif ships

[ornate mantle]

There is an EN tweet that says Ooshio.

[flat palm]

Newest one does

In game news

Is one i ment

[ornate mantle]

No.

Asashio isn’t to my tastes.

[flat palm]

Oh i thought u loved all blue haired loli

[verbal obsidian]

i dont even know what your tastes are azu kun

[ornate mantle]

Not at all.

[verbal obsidian]

first i thought u were a brother

then u were a loli lover with rei

[ornate mantle]

Naw, I’m a brother. However, I-13 is undoubtedly surpassing everything I could have imagined.

[verbal obsidian]

[flat palm]

doubt

I will keep you under close inspection azu kun

hides FBI crest

[ornate mantle]

Not into Loli in general, but I-13 is the exception.

I-13 and Urakaze mainly.

[toxic scroll]

[ornate mantle]

My tastes are ultimately “Blue Hair”.

@verbal obsidian

But I love huge tits and mash ass... but there are also blue haired Lolis I love. Not all, but some.

[flat palm]

Hard agree on huge tits and mash ass

My favourite is silver hair

Or blondes

Aurora is a good example of my taste

[ornate mantle]

God, I-13 fits like all my design tastes.

[flat palm]

[ornate mantle]

[flat palm]

You will probably have to wait like close to a year

[ornate mantle]

I don’t mind.

[flat palm]

Same with me and the ship from the rerun event with the gym shirt skin

I love her

Gym outfits are unf

Same with girls tying ponytails

Thats a unf too

[verbal obsidian]

I agree on everything other than the I-13 comment

i tend to like long darkish hair, but that doesnt mean i dont like light colors like platinum

tight gym booty shorts

@flat palm big like on the ponytail comment

[frozen sphinx]

School swimsuit.

[verbal obsidian]

[flat palm]

The game knows what i need

@ornate mantle this is peak performance

Sshh

You’re scaring the cubes away

[verbal obsidian]

aran sounds like he speaks from experience

[flat palm]

I got 5 plate comms in a row before this

[wintry sonnet]

oh, nothing interesting

[oblique mantle]

Man

I can’t wait for the game to slap you all in the face and stop giving you easy cubes in comissions

That will be a great day of watching many panic

The cube cost for ship ratio is finally starting to cost people more.

Lets see how far it goes this time.

[wintry sonnet]

it's ok

limited builds aren't light-focused

I'm not afraid

[oblique mantle]

Some of my best girls arent light

That’s all that matters to me

[wintry sonnet]

I'm starting to hate this sos signal regen mechanic tho

from 5am to 8pm, only 1 recharge

[oblique mantle]

Heh

You’ll be fine

Easy missions to curbstomp

[wintry sonnet]

I went 15 hours without proccing a recharge before the 8h mark

[oblique mantle]

As you wonder why your bothering with subs

[wintry sonnet]

it's not the difficulty that bothers me

it's that I can't even do them because I'm not proccing any pre 8h recharges

[clear gate]

Question for the wise Avroran populace

[oblique mantle]

Rng stuff

[clear gate]

Why do ships always close their eyes when firing their guns

[oblique mantle]

No clue

I hear when wash does it shit dies faster though.

[wintry sonnet]

easy

if you can't see misses, then they didnt happen

[clear gate]

Brilliant

[stuck copper]

Hello there, I am saddibilis, you cannot trust me!

[verbal obsidian]

[oblique mantle]

Holy shit

Your north carolina now?

So plain

But now I know

[wintry sonnet]

wdym, he's been norcal for like 2 months now

[stuck copper]

two weeks at most

[wintry sonnet]

like I said, 2 years

[stuck copper]

I found North Carolina to be elegant, kind and normal

[oblique mantle]

The exact opposite of you

Conquer the seas Incred

[stuck copper]

Romans aren't great at naval combat, you know

[oblique mantle]

Better start learning

The best will always try to adapt to the new age.

Adapt or die like the romans did incred

[stuck copper]

well, there are reasons why they were a mighty empire for a long time, even Eastern Rome the Byzantine empire existed until late 15th century

[oblique mantle]

But they all fall eventually

[stuck copper]

none can stand forever

[oblique mantle]

The body grows old..but knowledge...lasts forever

[stuck copper]

but their incredibilis remains

[oblique mantle]

mm

[flat palm]

This event shop has 1000 chips too

And kongou which is a cutie

[flat palm]

Lol yeah

Oh the point milestone thing also gives chips

30k points gives u a total of 2100 chips

So overall the event gives u 3100

[stuck copper]

are they throwing Hiei into the pool?

[flat palm]

Hiei is in the mikasa event no?

I doubt it

[stuck copper]

double event

that is just a nightmare

and curse those who say the game is not hard enough

I cannot run two events at once

I might be forced to quit the game forever

if this happens

suppose if Mikasa event is a small-scale one

what the fuck is with this catching up

I don't care about cubes

I just care about my mental being worn down for having to keep up

those in JP/CN should stay where they are

and don't rush the EN

there are newcomers like me

[lone sinew]

[flat palm]

I hope we get the kongou skin

I love that one

[wintry sonnet]

Even in the name of catching up, I dont think they'd be this stupid to push on 3 massive cube sinks within such a short time frame

heck, technically 4, just within this month

[flat palm]

He could have just been warning because subs are perm though to be fair

[wintry sonnet]

if I warn you about kicking you in the balls, will it justify it?

[ornate mantle]

Prepare for the storm.

[stuck copper]

I am sick of this shit

[ornate mantle]

@last kiln looks like the reserves are going to die.

[stuck copper]

and I really really hate those who wants to rush

[wintry sonnet]

well, if they did mikasa event during nagato event, in this case "warning" would be saying "protect your balls"

then shooting you in the dick with a shotgun

[ornate mantle]

Guess you didn’t have balls of steel.

[stuck copper]

this game is no longer casual after all

[ornate mantle]

Of course it’s casual.

The events are just coming through the woodworks without end.

[flat palm]

Its all down to how lucky you get and your willpower to save cubes tbh

[stuck copper]

no willpower will avail you

if your luck sucks

and the "best" ships are via construction only

YKKZ, Mogami

York and Carol are exception

[flat palm]

I mean i felt prepared for ykkz, ended up blowing 300 free cubes and 80$ of gems

And now im not ready at all for nagato

But eh what can i do

[wintry sonnet]

you dont need a car to drive around with

doesn't mean people wanna settle for a bike

or nordic walking sticks

if you're gonna create something people desire, it's only natural to make it accessible

unless you're Nintendo

in that case you just make it scarce arbitrarily

and let a narrow group of people benefit from it

[stuck copper]

in the end, it is about attracting whales for unlucky souls

[wintry sonnet]

just because you're sitting at 700+ cubes doesnt mean everyone else has the same experience

and I'm not even talking about collectioners now

all it takes is getting unlucky with 1 character you desire

to fall into a hole

[flat palm]

If you get unlucky in even one event atm

You fall so

Fking far behind

Its insane

It took me 440 cubes for ykkz

And nagato is 2-3 weeks after vdir

[stuck copper]

next week

prepare yourself

protect your ball and I will shoot you with 460 mm naval cannon

[flat palm]

I just wanted ykkz lol

Got 6 zuikaku and 4 shoukaku

[wintry sonnet]

but this is supposed to be a "better gacha"

the game's supposed to be very friendly and you should be able to get everything as f2p

and only pay for skins

isn't that the slogan?

or did I dream it up

[flat palm]

Getting dupes in gacha events in AL is super annoying

The amount of coins per limited build is rly expensive

[wintry sonnet]

also the argument isn't "They shouldn't do limited gacha"

[flat palm]

And if u end up whaling for coins

That Shits so costy

[wintry sonnet]

the argument is "they shouldn't push so much limited gacha one after another without giving people some time to rebuild their resources"

[flat palm]

For me personally i just wouldnt be able to deal with waiting another year for nagato if i got unlucky and be that one guy without one of the most busted bb’s in the game

Some people can, i get tilted af

[wintry sonnet]

all it does is it creates a toxic enviroment where people feel like the devs are purposely pushing their limits to coax them into spending money

and for a game that prides itself on being f2p-friendly, you kinda dont want that to be the ccase

[flat palm]

I didnt think so either but

Monty subs and vdir + nagato in 3 weeks of eachother

Feels abit over the top

They are, but you still want them

[stuck copper]

you have one week to restock your cubes

you call that reasonable?

[flat palm]

Yeah but you dont really get the time to build for them when theres this many major events

[stuck copper]

60 cubes per week?

[wintry sonnet]

60?

[flat palm]

You are forced to hard save cubes atm

[wintry sonnet]

that's an optimistic estimate

[flat palm]

If you want to keep up

[stuck copper]

well, my point is

keep the "meta" ships like Nagato achievable via your effort, not via your damn luck

[flat palm]

Imo releasing subs this close to a major event was a mistake

Special pool is hell

[next onyx]

agreed, and they know it, which is why they sent that in game email to save cubes

[stuck copper]

save?

[verbal obsidian]

i mean they even said "don't go blowing all your cubes now ya heard"

[flat palm]

Not everyone works tho

And can afford to whale every event

[wintry sonnet]

again, I can warn you to protect your balls and you can cover your groin in your hands, if I pull out a shotgun it's not gonna matter

cause you didnt know in advance what exactly to expect

[flat palm]

I didnt spend a cube on special

I still think it was shitty

Because people will want to get them early

[wintry sonnet]

right now we're operating in assumption that we'll just get nagato event and that's it

if they were to then throw mikasa mid-way through, then that's just a dick move

[stuck copper]

you might think it's shitty, but your voice will fall on deaf ears from those who wants to rush

[wintry sonnet]

no amount of "dont spend on subs" can defend you from that

[flat palm]

Like, we have no idea what to expect

We just get cube events thrown at us

[verbal obsidian]

idk imo its mroe fun like this

[flat palm]

Its not fun if you get unlucky

[verbal obsidian]

rather than having people go "well in jp they got this in two months"

[flat palm]

And fall behind

[stuck copper]

next event will be Nagato, no doubt

[verbal obsidian]

like honestly its gets stale hearing that

[flat palm]

I would have appreciated just 1 more rest week before nagato tbh

But were getting it instantly

[stuck copper]

nope

[flat palm]

They could have just done something like belchan

[stuck copper]

they announced Asashio and Ooshio

[flat palm]

Before nagato

[stuck copper]

there is no way it can't be delayed

[next onyx]

I gotta ask, what brought this discussion up? has this not been the case with this game from the very beginning? This game rushes content and players who want to collect them all have to spend lots of cubes lol

[flat palm]

Its more that right now its been so many new build only ssr

[stuck copper]

because we are expecting two events at once

[flat palm]

At one time

And people think mikasa will be thrown ontop of nagato ya

[stuck copper]

and people's endurance isn't something that can be eased easily

[next onyx]

wtf for real?

that's some bs if that happens

[flat palm]

I hope it doesnt

Mikasa can fk off

[wintry sonnet]

it's a narrow possibility at this point, but it's not entirely out of the question

[flat palm]

I want my nagamom

[stuck copper]

they feel bitter, but they won't tell you about it, because they fear they will get bashed from those who wanna rush

and it is not fun when you have to shoulder too much stress at once

[verbal obsidian]

tbh i think everyones overreacting

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, hitagi

everyone expected the rerun ships in WC

[stuck copper]

me personally, this kind of rushing is a bit unacceptable for me

[verbal obsidian]

[next onyx]

I can attest to that, I used to post on subreddit about how I thought they game is being rushed like last year and would always get downvoted. I stopped saying anything on that subreddit after a while

[wintry sonnet]

until we suddenly werent meant ot get em

so ther'es precedent to be suspicious

[stuck copper]

and there is a great miscommunication between Yostar EN and the devs themselves

[wintry sonnet]

doesnt help how they suddenly stopped giving you dates in the teaser tweets

[verbal obsidian]

game isn't perfect, there is no perfect balance between players

just gotta live with what happens imo

[flat palm]

Yeah that is pretty weird

[wintry sonnet]

yeah, no thanks, but no

"live with it" doesnt just work

[flat palm]

I got told about vdir rerun the day before it was maint

[next onyx]

@wintry sonnet oh wow, I did not even realize that, but you're right

[wintry sonnet]

cause when you just "live with it" you get FGO, you get Battlefront 2, you get CoD WW2

[flat palm]

I think alot of people got caught off guard with when vdir rerun was

Was like "oh yeah maint is on thursday btw" on wednesday

[wintry sonnet]

I mean call me a hopeless romantic, but I wanna give AL more credit than I would EA or Activision

[stuck copper]

"we will have re-run after subs and level 120"

fuck

[wintry sonnet]

it might be wishful thinking

but I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt that they wouldn't just dick over their playerbase

but it's getting harder and harder

[flat palm]

I think the problem here is the miscomunication between en staff and manjuu tbh as someonne said

I recall intern saying devs were hard to negotiate with back in WC fiesta

[stuck copper]

miscommunication gives us false preparation

but the event rushing is another matter

[wintry sonnet]

yeah, the lack of transparency has been getting quite problematic, especially with the mixed messages

[flat palm]

I dont fault the en staff at all, seems they assumed the same as us

[next onyx]

Gaming industry has made me negative. It tells me that they rush content so people can spend money on cubes and gold. I am sure they make lots of money off of that in addition to skins.

[flat palm]

At the end of the day, the staff in this discord are not the devs for our game

They dont decide the timeline

[wintry sonnet]

I wish they gave us some kind of roadmap for the month to know what to expect. Doesnt have to be "We'll have event x first then event Y" but something like "This month you can expect 1 big event and 2 minievents"

[stuck copper]

this is not a big game

[flat palm]

Its mainly the actual cn/jp devs who make money off the global version

[stuck copper]

I don't expect such

one theory I can think of is

the number of EN players aren't what devs expected; it is lower

so they are trying to... "milk" the shit out of this community

I think I might be wrong, but I want to guess

why there are only 4 servers as for now?

[flat palm]

AL global has a good amount of players for a mobile game that isnt run by cygames tbh

[wintry sonnet]

iirc the EN client got them like 600k $ like last month or sth

[stuck copper]

and it is not like the profit is used for very new content at all

[next onyx]

I agree, I remember seeing some stats and AL EN has a good playerbase and earns a good bit of money. Of course it still may not be enough for the devs

[stuck copper]

we are catching up with JP, that means we are "re-using" a lot of assets

[wintry sonnet]

to be fair, most of the stuff is already here

sans the translations

[stuck copper]

fire the translation department

[wintry sonnet]

and it's not like EN gets its own exclusive stuff

[stuck copper]

some of the mistakes are quite unacceptable

[wintry sonnet]

heck we didnt even get out own collab yet

[stuck copper]

we got Neptunia as exclusive

[wintry sonnet]

so EN couldn't possibly be this expensive to run

Neptunia wasn't exclusive tho

every server got it

[stuck copper]

oof

[wintry sonnet]

I'm talking stuff like niconico

or that curry collab

[stuck copper]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wintry sonnet]

not to mention when we do catch up to JP/CN, then it's basically the same staff working for content on all 3 servers

and just handling a translation team

[ornate mantle]

Once we catch up to JP it’ll stabilize.

[stuck copper]

on a side note: where the fuck is KR

[ornate mantle]

But for now we’re going hard on the ball.

[wintry sonnet]

Kosta Rika?

[ornate mantle]

There was a KR server?

[verbal obsidian]

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

That’s a big oof

[stuck copper]

still, stay tuned for today

[ornate mantle]

I haven’t heard anything about KR

[stuck copper]

the collab with WOWS 2nd time

[ornate mantle]

Whew.

[stuck copper]

also, it is my birthday today

[verbal obsidian]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/528197562998718474/563085754507591680/hobhob.gif

[flat palm]

Kr has its own server but its ran by a different company azu

That doesnt have a very good reputation for being good customer support

[stuck copper]

they should have let Wargaming run EN server

[flat palm]

Imo we couldnt ask for better EN staff

[ornate mantle]

Whew

[flat palm]

Im more dissapointed in manjuu

[ornate mantle]

TBH, I’m excited.

Oh hot damn, I need Arashio in my life.

Not to be confused with Asashio who is coming to EN soon.

[wintry sonnet]

I dont think the EN staff's the problem tbh

I think they're just in the unlucky position to be in the "shoot the messenger" situation

whatever the dev team decides, they have to peddle back and potentially face criticism for

we saw that with WC

[stuck copper]

Manjuu/Yongshi

they both make this game

[wintry sonnet]

when intern was sure we'll be getting the rerun content

then having to backpedal on it

[stuck copper]

deal with it

and not everyone is gonna buy it

[flat palm]

Yeah i feel like manjuu decided early on to give us sirius and then completely changed their mind

And intern had to take the flame for it

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, if they had a strategy not to give us any rerun content whatsoever from the start

then they already broke it with CNY and DC

[flat palm]

Yea

[stuck copper]

CNY

What a shitload of ships

There is also a miscommunication between Wargaming RU and Wargaming APAC, the one I am working with, but it is mostly due to timezone

The miscommunication between devs and EN staffs might be due to more than just language difference

[flat palm]

thats not true

i know for a fact manjuu and en staff are neighbours

they both talk chinese

[wintry sonnet]

I think it's fairly noticable that most of the EN staff doesnt speak native english

[flat palm]

Yup

they are located in china

[stuck copper]

There are some English-speaking staffs in this Discord

[wintry sonnet]

I'm not saying they can't speak english

[stuck copper]

Maybe they are in New Zealand or so?

[flat palm]

They speak broken english sometimes

[wintry sonnet]

I'm saying they aren't native speakers

[flat palm]

^

[stuck copper]

Native English speakers, I mean

[flat palm]

the staff in our discord are located in china

[wintry sonnet]

pretty sure New Zealand still speaks english, just a variation of it

[stuck copper]

They need to hire some English native speakers who could work with Chinese

Belfast special touch line lack the part "You don't have to rush", I wonder if it is fixed?

[flat palm]

its not to my knowledge

[wintry sonnet]

I'm still pissed off that Concord's "chuu" is translated as "pinch"

[stuck copper]

Big Wasp Yo

[wintry sonnet]

I mean I dont know what you guys do over in china, but here we call it kissing, not pinching

[stuck copper]

At least Saratoga's chuu is still chuu iirc

[wintry sonnet]

yeah, I dont know why the disparity

maybe different translators putting different amounts of effort

[stuck copper]

There are QA and proofreader department

There should be some standard to follow

Like, Dana-sama is my lord, not Commander

Both Fusou and Yamashiro called the player "dana-sama" but only Yamashiro got "My Lord", while Fusou got "Commander"

[wintry sonnet]

tbh, since there's so much ui clutter and bugs, like mistranslations or the text not getting wrapped properly, or the recent name bug, or the pvp being constant pain in the ass with its bugginess, it makes it easier to notice the more subtle issues

like, when you keep seeing stains on your desk over and over, eventually you'll start noticing other problems

that you didnt pay attention to before

[stuck copper]

Well, I admit, any translation error is just second in a prioritized queue

Because they don't break the game too much

[wintry sonnet]

sure, but a drip of water here and there and eventually you have a downpour

[stuck copper]

Well, thank to some like Restart, those problems are being fixed, but at a somewhat slow rate

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, it's not like some of them requrie this much effort

fixing a typo here and there's barely any work

or at least it should be if you dont operate on spaghetti code

but it makes everything look better, so it doesnt keep poking you in the eyes and make you pay attention to other issues

[stuck copper]

Well, anyway, it is time to deal with it or not

Cos a storm is coming
