avrora-general

[stuck copper]

Lol nah not atm

I just read up on the stuff

Yup

My guess is right

Seattle

Should probably be MG + 2 AA guns

Cause she's basically like a cleveland

Only without a secondary gun

With better AA potential

By all intent and purpose, I doubt such could happen

Why?

We've already got botes in game that have MG + 2 AA

It wouldn't be the first instance of it happening

[flat palm]

sonar?

tbh i skipped the entire sub tutorial lol

[stuck copper]

Sub combat needs a sonar equipped

[flat palm]

ah

[stuck copper]

Or you can't attack them

[flat palm]

i see

[stuck copper]

I don't feel like it would happen

[flat palm]

makes sense

[stuck copper]

Actually I do Incred

[flat palm]

is it even worth doing?

[stuck copper]

Remember

This is USS

AA is their domain

same as Cleveland at most

But she's not

Cleveland has a secondary

[flat palm]

i hope they dont cheese us and dont give new nagato skin

[stuck copper]

She doesn't

[flat palm]

ill be so sad

[stuck copper]

She doesn't even have torps

The only thing they can do

Is dual CL / AA or CL / dual AA

And I highly doubt they'd do a dual CL

Considering she's an AA bote

"One of the most notable differences between Cleveland and Seattle is the loss of the former's 5"/38 dual-purpose secondary turrets. These venerable guns — found in a myriad of places across American ships of all classes — that comprised the long-range anti-aircraft battery at Tier VIII have been replaced by Seattle’s 152mm/47 Mark 17 dual-purpose main battery at Tier IX."

that's historical basis

how would it implement into the game is...

too soon to say

Easy

2 Main gun + AA or Main gun + 2 AA

Not really hard to do

Since we have instances

Where both have worked

First being Yat Sen

Second being the HMS botes

With dual AA

[ornate mantle]

Oh fuck.

Chaser can hit subs right.

[stuck copper]

Yes

[ornate mantle]

Ah hell yeah.

I'm gonna finally take Chaser for a spin.

Have her at 100 and max skilled.

OOP.

I just got an ASW plane this morning.

This'll be fune.

[stuck copper]

is Atago really having her own story?

[ornate mantle]

Yeah.

Secretary story.

[stuck copper]

wow

just... wow

[ornate mantle]

Awesome aint it?

[stuck copper]

Also don't forget either Cred

awesome, but impractical

They can go a bit further with PR botes

I didn't have her...

Since they're stronger than your standard bote

[ornate mantle]

YOu don't have Atago?

[stuck copper]

yes

how could I even spend cubes to get her, given the rushing state of EN AL?

back then I was very weak

I got PoW and Vampire after 60 cubes

and Atago didn't show up

[ornate mantle]

Ahhhhh, I kept going until Atago.

Got like 3 PoW.

During first Z-Force.

Took me about 80 cubes.

[stuck copper]

I wanted to have her but...

[ornate mantle]

Total.

[stuck copper]

well, back then I didn't even manage a strong main fleet

[flat palm]

got my 9th cube comission

[stuck copper]

no Enty, no Hood

[flat palm]

will this one give me my first cube azu

(say yes)

[ornate mantle]

@stuck copper : you've grown greater than you were prior.

It looks like the chances for Takao and Atago timers are up in special.

So maybe chasing subs is what you need to do.

@flat palm : I believe it will.

[flat palm]

[verbal obsidian]

[tranquil sequoia]

ink steel soon

[dim crystal]

When

[past kiln]

where is leek-kun..

[verbal obsidian]

[next onyx]

[ornate mantle]

Where is fuck up kun with my rerun.

[verbal obsidian]

thats rude azu

im taking away your lewding powers

For good.

whoosh

[ornate mantle]

Lewding is intrinsic to my very being.

[toxic scroll]

leek kun was silenced by staff

he hasn't been seen since

we fear the worst

[tranquil sequoia]

ink steel nxt week?

[toxic scroll]

it's about time

[verbal obsidian]

buy more

[toxic scroll]

i'm still sitting above 300

i also didnt spam build for them

because they arent going anywhere

[balmy verge]

Wanna ask
Prediction of sakura steel event when?

[rustic blaze]

I mean it can be this week or next week to be honest, since the ships are already revealed.

[toxic scroll]

my guess

thursday

this thursday

[dim crystal]

[vital edge]

Last week, we all agreed it'd be two weeks from then

Dunno why we're asking again

[toxic scroll]

i'm not bound to your agreement from two weeks ago

[vital edge]

Well, it's not binding

We're all just guessing

[toxic scroll]

i say that because i wasn't here

[vital edge]

Given that the last maint was just days ago, I doubt they'd issue another maint so soon

Oh

Ayy lmao

Well, the guess is next week until the mods or Intern-kun says something

[toxic scroll]

but to be fair

they shoved subs on us

before the nagato event

which happened BEFORE subs on the other servers

[stiff musk]

🥖

[dim crystal]

Jebaited

[ornate mantle]

Maybe they can shove I-13 on me now.

I WOULDNT MIND DEVS PLEASE HEAR ME.

[lone sinew]

[toxic scroll]

not good enough

where's her oath and max affection

[stuck copper]

Sad times indeed

[toxic scroll]

she's even sad

look at her

you hurt her feelings

[stuck copper]

Ikr

So evil

[vital edge]

Gear ain't even maxed

[toxic scroll]

What is Kitakaze supposed to be

She looks like a bird

[stuck copper]

A loli

Or rather

A lolly

[toxic scroll]

No

Seriously

Is she a bird

Or wtf

[stuck copper]

Well if I'm honest

She does have feathers

So something of the avian variety for sure

[toxic scroll]

Girl lemme see that tail so we can confirm what species you are

[solar fjord]

Swan or Goose

[vital edge]

That bird looks like it fought wars

[solar fjord]

[tough burrow]

she reminds me of that sparrow saber in fgo

little bit

[lone sinew]

[stuck copper]

Hello there, I am evil, you can trust me!

[tough burrow]

X

[stuck copper]

You should trust me Restart-san

[verbal obsidian]

[stuck copper]

the enemy subs are so cute

especially I-19

[lyric frost]

sadly we have to throw c4s at them

[stuck copper]

I want I-19

at least i got the bunny from daily build

[next onyx]

did 3 special builds this morning to finish weekly, hoping to get a sub. Got 3 Northamptons LOL. Good thing I did not roll like crazy for subs, my luck sucks.

[stuck copper]

The chance to get subs is really low

There are too many girls right now in perm

I lost my will to keep rolling when i got sandy

[next onyx]

which brings up a question in my mind. For the people that play the other version, are subs necessary for future content? If the drop rate is so low, but they are needed for future content, that just rubs me the wrong way.

[stuck copper]

Nah

Subs are just cuties

They can help you a little, but they are not really mandatory

[next onyx]

ah ok

[stuck copper]

I-13 is the best sub so far imo. Specially since she can use seaplanes that helps you reach Air superiority to get more buffs.

But we don't have the air power system in EN yet, and we won't have it until they decide to give us world 13

[lyric frost]

I wonder if the Steel Ink Sakura event gonna give us I-13

[dim crystal]

burning LOVE

[ornate mantle]

She has been very helpful this day.

Oh really? She knocked the boss to less than half in one launch for me.

Kinda like how the swordfish drop depth charges.

Is your skill max leveled?

Oof

Oh god.

I’m curious, can depth charges miss and hit targets above water.

During some of my runs that’s what it felt like, lmao.

[stuck copper]

I don't think depth charge can miss

because your ships got very close to the sub position and dumped it

well, I-58 should be enough for me now

their damage was still very insignificant

[ornate mantle]

Bro, do it.

I need 2 signals in the next 11 hours.

Near the end probably.

[warm bluff]

my nicholas almost sunk on the w9 sub boss D:

these things are getting harder

[ornate mantle]

This is the price for subs.

Basically that.

[warm bluff]

ya this is my asw boss fleet

[ornate mantle]

@warm bluff : no chaser?

[warm bluff]

she's not leveled

[ornate mantle]

Hm.

Maybe QE + Chaser will make a difference.

QE/Chaser + Phoenix

[warm bluff]

wait why phoenix?

[ornate mantle]

So I can watch anime.

[warm bluff]

oh for mob fleet?

[ornate mantle]

For boss

[warm bluff]

i use nicholas since she's cute and eldridge since she's cute too also for high asw stat

[ornate mantle]

u know how we do.

Kongou was announced...

[stuck copper]

no care for Kongou

for me at least

and no Haruna too

[warm bluff]

i had no idea that running out of time while in the sos stage just kicked you out of the stage

wasted a lot of oil and didn't even get to fight the boss

[stuck copper]

Mikasa's special touch line

Are you inviting me to be your dance partner at the banquet? S-so be it, then…

Why isn't she upset?

[ornate mantle]

Why would she be upset.

[stuck copper]

would any woman react badly to your indecent touch?

Technically you are not touching Mikasa's chest, but her hand since that is where her hand is on her art.

it is not like her hand can cover her entire chest

there are still "spaces"

But if you think about that, her line would make sense

and by this logic, Long Island's default skin should never be touched at all

and Amagi... she was deep in thinking that she didn't realize we touch her breast

[lone sinew]

[ornate mantle]

Long Islands meet skin is fucking fantastic

[stuck copper]

wow

we even get Kongou skin

[stuck copper]

she is literally a neet in my base

still, she goes to commission from time to time

[ornate mantle]

C'est Magnifique

👌

Damn, Kongou skin doesn’t catch my eye this time around.

Guess I’m not as prone to going nuts over skins unless they’re for characters I love or are just mindblowingly good nowadays.

Azu of 4 months ago would have eaten the Kongou and Lusty skins right up.

Goddamn long islands ass is hypnotizing.

[next onyx]

@ornate mantle I have been the same way towards skins recently. For example, Cygnet's maid skin, Aya, Indy and Portland's new skins are really cute, but I don't like them as much as I do, say Takao, Atago and such, so I skipped them.

Kongou's skin is nice, but I think I have enough kimono skins

[ornate mantle]

LOL, same.

The thing stopping me from the Takao and Atago skins are the NY and Qipao skins that I already have for them.

I bought Cygnets skin because that one actually fucking hypnotized me.

[next onyx]

Yeah, I feel ya, Cygnet's skin is super cute

I have a weak spot for Atago and Takao, I buy all their skins

Akagi and Kaga, as well. I bought up all their skins even oath

[ornate mantle]

@next onyx : can relate. I definitely buy all the skins for the faves.

[ornate mantle]

Poggers

The farm for gold gears begins

[verbal obsidian]

These new skins for haruna and kongou are wholesome

I will swipe

[ornate mantle]

I’ll be hard passing on Haryana and Kongou.

Their skins anyways.

[stuck copper]

If I end up using them

Then I will buy their skins

because they are very beautiful

[ornate mantle]

They are definitely beautiful.

But they don't give me that "I MUST BUY THIS" feeling that I've gotten from other skins.

Also, got Jenkins after 2 days of farming for her.

And moved onto 9-3 for Nicholas... but damn, I remember why this map is such fucking cancer.

[verbal obsidian]

@stuck copper yes they are

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

9-3 almost full danger level.

16 Retrofits to go.

[stuck copper]

I hate my life

[ornate mantle]

Cuttin' Deep.

[stuck copper]

How long have I been in 10-4?

[ornate mantle]

How long has 10-4 been out.

[stuck copper]

3 months?

Just like Kaga back then...

[ornate mantle]

3 months is how long you've been in 10-4.

[stuck copper]

I hate my life because of that

[ornate mantle]

Don't give up brother.

The moment you see that "New" shine.

You will feel liberation like no other.

[stuck copper]

I've just stuff Zkk and Skk into training

For their skills

[flat palm]

I think ill only get nagato and the gym shirt one

I like kongou one but her as a ship is honestly not useable

And her base skin is cute enough

[ornate mantle]

The gym shirt one?

[flat palm]

i cant post it here, its banned

[ornate mantle]

DM.

WAIT

Yoizuki

I thought you meant that Nagato had a gym uniform skin.

[flat palm]

oh no

yoizuki yeah

i need to get enough gems for nagato skin, ring for nagato and possibly yoizuki skin, still deciding

and hopefully i dont need to buy cubes this event lol

i have enough cubes for 70 builds day one

[ornate mantle]

tbh, I might get both of their skins.

So, 140 cubes?

[flat palm]

Yup

thats my estimate i'll be at on thursday

[ornate mantle]

Hopefully that's all you'll need.

[flat palm]

yeah

Theres less rate up ssr this time

so hopefully will be better

[ornate mantle]

Plz announce I-13 Yostar.

[flat palm]

i have like 180k coins but not nearly enough cubes to make use of it lol

[ornate mantle]

LOL.

[flat palm]

i really want I-19 tbh.. and her skin

[ornate mantle]

That's a much better position to be in than most of us.

[flat palm]

but i dread building special pool

[ornate mantle]

I'm actually not too tempted by her skin.

I feel like her chest is more accentuated in the normal.

So i'm liking her look there more.

[flat palm]

I didnt pay too much attention to it, both are cute

but i love the dress on her skin

[ornate mantle]

For sure.

[flat palm]

[ornate mantle]

Both are great.

[flat palm]

i watched that guy who spent like 350$ for both subs and im just sitting here like

[ornate mantle]

I just prefer the image of the Base skin.

[flat palm]

yeaaaa.... i dont think so buddy

[ornate mantle]

I mean, he's probably exceptional.

Like, very exceptional.

I've never seen that shit happen before.

[flat palm]

unless i have a big reserve of cubes i think ill avoid special pool until centaur

it looked like my yukikaze pulls tbh

[ornate mantle]

You spent $350 for YKK?

[flat palm]

Nah

but he also bought coins and quick finishers

i spent 100$ give or take

[ornate mantle]

AH.

Yeah, similar then.

Tbh, i'd probably do that for I-13.

[flat palm]

i was really hoping nagato would be in atleast 1 more week lol

but since theres only 1 ssr i want this event from gacha shouldnt be too bad

vdir i needed cranes and ykkz

with the amount of tweets last 2 days 99% sure event is on thursday

[ornate mantle]

It's like, all but guaranteed.

I'm holding onto a sliver of hope.

[flat palm]

inb4 they throw jean bart at us 2 weeks after

that event will hurt my wallet like mad

dunkerque l2d being the main reason

[ornate mantle]

Hmmmm.

5 Construction
3 Drops
3 Event Shops.

Assuming you get them the most "effecient way possible".

[flat palm]

yeaa

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/w/images/6/61/GloriousSchool.png this is one of my favourite girls in azur lane

shame shes bad

[ornate mantle]

Glorious has fantastic art.

[flat palm]

Yaap

her voice lines are so cute

May victory and glory be with us……probably.

https://i.imgur.com/t5UwHiO.png

and this one

glorious event started 18th may on JP so i hope its soon

[vital edge]

So

we all heard that Shimikaze is joining in during the Crosswave?

[flat palm]

Idk what crosswave even is t b h

[vital edge]

Azur Lane x WoWS

[flat palm]

O

i thought they were seperate things

then yes, why

[vital edge]

Do you think our upcoming Shimakaze looks better than Kancolle's?

[flat palm]

[vital edge]

[flat palm]

I dare say, azur lane art is best out of everything

[vital edge]

they both look the same, honestly but ours doesn't look as slutty

it looks weird tbh

it's world exploration

[flat palm]

looks pretty cool

[vital edge]

ik

[flat palm]

we pokemon now

[vital edge]

but what did the guys at the con even talk about?

[flat palm]

Noclue

i wonder when the new UI will come

[vital edge]

this crossover looks a little ambitious for some one-day discussion

dammit, it's gonna be a console game

[flat palm]

one day i will get i19

[next onyx]

1 year later...

[ornate mantle]

I love all of ALs girls more than KCs girls.

[stuck copper]

I like KC Hiyou, Haruna, Kongou, Suzuya, Kinugasa

the girls mentioned above are better than their AL incarnation

[verbal obsidian]

wtf i got a poi from a map 6 sub map

[stuck copper]

world X-5 got the same drop as world X-4

[stuck copper]

I intend to make an AL visual novel

[vital edge]

@stuck copper what about warspite?

[stuck copper]

I don't know

I didn't have much fondness for Warspite anyway

[wintry sonnet]

Oh piss off, I had to burn all signals to get 8-5

[rustic blaze]

RIP 😦

I'm just at signal 5 so I have to catch up..

[wintry sonnet]

Watch as it doesnt proc more than 1 charge in 12 hours and then gives me ch 8, making me wait 2 daye to unlock.last signal upgrade

[rustic blaze]

That's just how RNG works sadly..

[ornate mantle]

Holy cow.

3rd Shigure drop of the day.

[wintry sonnet]

oh, it gets worse, now that I think about it

since signals dont get updated real-time, if strength 7 has gold bps, then all 5 will not drop em

because they're hardlocked to strength 6 drop table

[stuck copper]

I don't have much interest in subs anyway 😦

my luck isn't that great

I got to chapter 6 but all I got is trash

[wintry sonnet]

yeah the bp drops are hot garbage

[ornate mantle]

I've figured out to make 9-3 less cancer.

[rustic blaze]

I'm just doing it because I want my subs to get stronk..

[next onyx]

I am only up to chap 6 with signal strength 4. I am so unlucky with getting signals

[wintry sonnet]

all this time I got only 1 blue blueprint drop

about 5 no-drops

and buncha whites

[ornate mantle]

I'm up to C7 with signals.

[wintry sonnet]

I'm about to unlock chapter 9, but I'm shaping up to get stuck for 2 days before proceeding if RNG continues to fuck me

[next onyx]

lube up

[ornate mantle]

LOL.

4th Shigure Drop of the day.

Holy cow.

[stuck copper]

@wintry sonnet: any idea about an AL story?

[ornate mantle]

Wait.

Are you seriously making an Al VN?

[next onyx]

what, really?

[stuck copper]

I am trying

[wintry sonnet]

eh

[ornate mantle]

Dude.

[stuck copper]

Use Ren'Py, it is easy enough (although it takes time because I am not used to Python)

[wintry sonnet]

define the kind of story you're looking for

[next onyx]

hmm..making a vn with such a huge cast is gonna be tough or are you only focusing on a few shipgirls?

[ornate mantle]

The VN like the anthology. every chapter is you going through the interactions of multiple girls.

[wintry sonnet]

is it hard ground within the game world's reality

[stuck copper]

well, for start, I will make mini story

[wintry sonnet]

or is there lotta 5th wall breaking

[stuck copper]

not to that extent lmao

[ornate mantle]

Make the Inazuma and Ikazuchi chapter 4th Wall breaking.

[stuck copper]

I... don't... have... both... of... them

[next onyx]

[wintry sonnet]

here's a guy who can have fun

[stuck copper]

it's time for PvP

[ornate mantle]

My Defense fleet is gonna be all blue haired beauties.

Married of course.

[stuck copper]

It takes more than just effort to make a VN

[wintry sonnet]

it also takes good pr0n cg

[stuck copper]

if I am going big, that is

[wintry sonnet]

hue

[stuck copper]

hueh squad intensifies

[wintry sonnet]

actually

how many blue haired backliners are there

cause I'm trying to think of blue hair and I only come up with vanguards

and I-13

St Louis, Helena, Aoba, Inazuma, Neptune, Fubuki, heck even White Heart is a vanguard

closest you seem to get to blue hair backliner seems to be Rodney and her hair's more lavender than blue

[stuck copper]

Rodney's hair is silver

[wintry sonnet]

not very blue either

[stuck copper]

Brought NorCarol into PvP

all backliners died except her, with nearly 100% hp

[wintry sonnet]

nobody even wants to touch her, sad

[stuck copper]

or did they fear touching her?

[wintry sonnet]

RNG knows no fear

[stuck copper]

one of the ways to counter Akaga

especially now that she is 110 and on her way to 200 affection

your effort shall be rewarded, that's it

shitkikan

where is your healer?

[wintry sonnet]

healers dont do much shen your ships have legs made of dried up spaghetti

[stuck copper]

that's... too bad

[lone sinew]

good morning

[wintry sonnet]

ok using a carrier for the backline on 8-5

bad idea

let's not do that anymore

[ornate mantle]

I guess YKK wasn't that lucky afterall.

[stuck copper]

@lone sinew: hello there, I am evil, you can trust me

[wintry sonnet]

oh

boss spawns after 4 battles

[ornate mantle]

Where.

[wintry sonnet]

8-5

[ornate mantle]

Oh yeh.

[wintry sonnet]

was that always the case in chapter 8?

[stuck copper]

I don't think so

X-5 is different comparing to other maps

[wintry sonnet]

actually lol

[stuck copper]

like no ambush, no threat level

[wintry sonnet]

it was 4 battles for boss every chapter 8 map

I'm so used to doing 0 ammo battles I forgot how chill chapter 8 was

[stuck copper]

yep

maybe you can get Maya there

[wintry sonnet]

nop, but I did get exeter

and a purple sonar blueprint

now I just need to wait 3 more months to get enough attemps to finish it

[stuck copper]

if subs aren't important, I am not gonna focus too much on this

[wintry sonnet]

honestly, they aren't helping them much

[stuck copper]

my ASW gears are trash btw

[wintry sonnet]

given how you can wait anywhere between 30 minutes to 8 hours just for 1 charge

[stuck copper]

don't have much motivation with this kind of random drop

[wintry sonnet]

well, time to pray for a recharge in 3-4 hours

otherwise I'll have to coin toss for 9-5

[rustic blaze]

I think you are guaranteed to get one when the day resets or am I wrong?

[wintry sonnet]

it does a check every 30 minutes to see if you get a charge

up to 8 hours

at 8 hour mark if you didnt get a the refresh, you get one arbitrarily

when when a sos signal stays up for 12 hours, you have to get "moderately" lucky

and average out 6 hours per charge

which seems to be as likely as getting 6 gold bps in hard mode day

and I'm talking hard mode day when it was bugged and we had 6 attemps at 2x blueprint

[rustic blaze]

Yeah, I'm just waiting for like 2 more charges before I go yolo try to get a higher signal..

[ornate mantle]

Alrighty, day 0 (start) of nicholas farming comes into a close soon.

[wintry sonnet]

I mean ,I went to sleep with 3 charges in tow

woke up, got up to 4 charges

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, it sucks, lmao.

[wintry sonnet]

I'm starting to see why people disregard subs entirely, the amount of RNG and waiting and endless grind you have to put in just to finish 1 purple item

heck, even blue items are a pain

since you need 5 of the same blueprint to drop

[ornate mantle]

It's thins the herd of those unworthy of the subs.

I am fully willing to farm up Gold Equipment.

After I finish farmables and Retrofits.

[wintry sonnet]

also yes it is THAT bad

at least when farming other blueprints the only thing standing in your way is your oil

you dont have to roll the dice every 30 minutes up to 8 hours to see if you can even sortie to 5-1 to try and get the 127mm gun prints

[ornate mantle]

[wintry sonnet]

which in itself is already a dice roll

[ornate mantle]

We heard you like RNG with your RNG.

[wintry sonnet]

if we wanna see subs becoming meta or relevant, then they're gonna have to redo this whole charge mechanic

[ornate mantle]

Subs are gonna be important just you wait.

[wintry sonnet]

for example, they could give us canteen-style upgrades

and each time you upgrade, you get stuff like more charge capacity, more frequent checks and lower threshold of waiting before a guaranteed signal

now I wonder if anyone even cared enough to suggest something like this in feedback, brb

[ornate mantle]

go on brother, get us the mechanics we need

[verbal obsidian]

the only mechanic i need is a head pat and wardrobe

[stuck copper]

I want some of WOWS OST to be integrated into AL anime, arranged or not

[wintry sonnet]

didnt seem to find anything regarding subs other than notification for sos signals, so I posted it up

why would you restrict Independence with marital oaths

are you trying to cross out the In in her name

[ornate mantle]

I'm at sub 800 Oil.

this is so surreal.

[wintry sonnet]

rather, he's the only one drawing independence art

[ornate mantle]

[wintry sonnet]

seriously though, like 2/3 of her fanart on booru

is done by her artist

it always puzzled me why there seems to be a distinct lack of fanart for certain ships overall

you'd think with a roster as big as this there'd be plenty for artists to do

even with those requirements it's low as hecc

1k results on Belfast with the amount of time she had

I mean, KC didnt have that either, but look where we're at now

[ornate mantle]

There are a lot of girls who deserve amazing fanart.

I wanna see more Yoizuki.

[wintry sonnet]

and it's not like AL doesnt have a big artist base

[ornate mantle]

And Urakaze.

[warm bluff]

nicholas needs more art

[ornate mantle]

It's only a matter of time.

I have 8125 Dorm coins.

We need some better dorm sets to arrive.

Oh, that's the main complaint?

I think my main complaint would be story.

I think that aspect of the games has some stuff left to be desired.

[wintry sonnet]

no shoukaku skins would be my biggest complaint

[ornate mantle]

Maybe if they added in animated cutscenes there would be more engagement in that aspect of the game.

[wintry sonnet]

j/k my biggest complaint is PVP being ass

[ornate mantle]

I mean, PVP being ass let's me not give a shit about being competitive.

[wintry sonnet]

and the lack of in-game music

[ornate mantle]

So I don't find it all that bad.

[wintry sonnet]

despite the fact ther'es clearly good composer on the roll

honestly, I dont get why aren't we having at least 1 musical theme per chapter

[vital edge]

I wish we had more music variations in the base game

The menu theme makes me permamute the music

[wintry sonnet]

yeah, it's frustrating to see how neglected the audio portion is

[vital edge]

I also only ever got into the music while fighting Yuudachi, which...

I got her rather quickly.

[wintry sonnet]

you're already paying voice actresses, some of them are musical artists too, heck Yui Ogura's a performer and she also did a few anime OP/ED

and there's a number of others that do too

I really liked the theme that rolled during Amagi Kaga showdown

that's what pisses me off the most about the music in AL in fact

it's that you have these moments like Yuudachi battle, or that Crimson Echoes fight

so clearly there's talent

[vital edge]

I remember a theme I adored

[wintry sonnet]

it's just they dont seem to give a shit

[vital edge]

lemme check my yt likes

this one

https://youtu.be/WDZ9NnAICCE

I don't either

you can see why

Music is half the immersion in games

I can't take the game seriously with the repetitive default theme

[wintry sonnet]

I'm an audiophile, case in point I have, well, had a proper sound card before it died on me

but audio is a big deal for me

[vital edge]

For me, it's part of the package

If I can't get it from the game, I pop open soundcloud

[ornate mantle]

Same. I usually go with muted audio. I watch anime, streams, or do other things where the music (good or not) can be intrusive to my concentration.

[wintry sonnet]

like, the reason Made in Abyss sold me within 5 minutes of first episode on it being the most legit thing I'm gonna watch

was the music bit

yea I bounced back initially because of the odd design, but you get used to it quickly and the audio-visual side of things really gets you going

point being, sound can be as important as visuals in experience

and right now AL's neglecting the audio part with the lack of musical tracks

I just rewatched entirety of fullmetal while farming signal strength

figured I can go for a 60 episode thing since it takes so damn long

oh, right, there's more than 1

alch, brotherhood specifically

here's hoping AL anime won't be a drag

[lone sinew]

guys I got lucky

Check trophy

[wintry sonnet]

gratz 12 furniture tokens

[lone sinew]

👌

[wintry sonnet]

swear to god if they just reuse the 3 tracks from story for the entire anime

also, I hope more than anything they just pick a theme and stick with it

learn from KC, if you wanna do slice of life, do that. If you wanna have an epic war drama, do that

you can't have a cake and stick your dick in it too so dont try doing it all at once

[oblique mantle]

I expect people to die

And Alterprise to surface

That is my expectation for the anime

No power of friendship shit

[warm bluff]

i hope it's ecchi

[oblique mantle]

And ships from history getting bodied by whoever bodied em

[solar fjord]

Hood sinking

[wintry sonnet]

but evil

if you dont believe in the power of friendship

how can you save me from being a pervert

[vital edge]

You were meant to be saved?

[lone sinew]

[oblique mantle]

Sup link btw

And aquan please

You should know anything I do isn’t by friendship power.

[ornate mantle]

But... being a pervert is salvation...

[stuck copper]

Hello there, I am a very evil shikikan, you can trust me!

[wintry sonnet]

whew

got a proc on sos signal

just before the other missions hit the 8 hour mark

max signal strength here I come

also here's the 2 new items you get at strength 7

[stuck copper]

I don't trust the drop

All I have been getting so far is trash and trash

[wintry sonnet]

lucky

my last 3 runs were no-drops

also...

I dropped Niizuki on my first 9-5

[stuck copper]

well whatever

I will focus less on subs for now

[wintry sonnet]

and here's signal strength 8 drops

ez

should get at least 1 gold equipment in half a year or so

[tough burrow]

doubt

[wintry sonnet]

you're right, half a year's too optimistic

[dim crystal]

event is thursday right?

[stuck copper]

yes

if it is the pace we are all expecting

Atago's acquisition line:

Oh my, such a cute Commander~ I'm Atago, let big sister take care of you from now on.

I am 26 this year, and I don't think I am anything cute

[tough burrow]

is that a t r o p h y I see?

delet

[hearty kayak]

I am SO sick of her missions, thank god it’s over

[grim bough]

delete that post and post it to #trophy-room

[tough burrow]

alright then

[hearty kayak]

Didn’t mean it as a trophy sharing but okay, my bad

[brittle ravine]

nice

[stuck copper]

let's hope that I can pass through Nagato's event without too much trouble

[brittle ravine]

is this pvp?

[tough burrow]

no, it's #avrora-general

[stuck copper]

no u

[tough burrow]

no, it's @tough burrow

[brittle ravine]

ok.

[stuck copper]

@half heart: are you sending friend request to me?

[half heart]

I was scrolling through

Saw the man himself

[stuck copper]

If Rei was here, he will show you that hypeturion face

[half heart]

I see

Thanks for the accept, in any case

[red vapor]

when's the event coming

[hearty kayak]

Guys, is Z23 farmable ? And if so where can I get her ?

[tough burrow]

any map

past w1 i think

[red vapor]

^

[wintry sonnet]

pretty much anything from chapter 2 onwards

[tough burrow]

all starters can drop from any (story?) map

[red vapor]

all starters you can drop from world 2 above

but if you wanted a drop table, here

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IkUG7Qot3GedHzK_VMdiPuI39uERybGybuqsJeKzDeo/htmlview#gid=0

[hearty kayak]

I guess I’m just not lucky enough

[wintry sonnet]

you'll have too many to know what to do with soon enough, trust me

there's just so many places she drops at, sooner or later you'll just start amassing dozens of her just by virtue of playing

[tough burrow]

when's the event coming either this or next thursday

or not

[hearty kayak]

I hope so ! Thanks for the answers

[tough burrow]

but prolly this one

[red vapor]

sankyu

[tough burrow]

inb4 not

[red vapor]

if not that just means more time to farm cubes

getting a yukikaze costs me 260 cubes

[wintry sonnet]

I'm fine wheter it's this or next thursday

as long as they dont try to copy JP/CN

and throw mikasa in the middle of it all

[tough burrow]

mikasa was heavy build, right?

[wintry sonnet]

yup

[tough burrow]

oof

[wintry sonnet]

so it'd be a double dick move

cause not only would it not have event limited stuff

it wouldn't evne have the subs

[stuck copper]

would Yostar do that?

If they announced Mikasa then all will be lost

[lone sinew]

[stuck copper]

well...

also, with the arrival of USS Georgia, I assume it will justify the arrival of Bismarck or Yamato

[dim crystal]

on the same event

and you have to choose 1

[stuck copper]

choose what?

[dim crystal]

choose between bismarck and yamato

[stuck copper]

not likely

I'd say Bismarck and Yamato will be in separate event

[dim crystal]

yk

[stuck copper]

well, when the Essex-class CVs are assembled, that might be the time for Yamato for sending more than 200 flies to raep Yamato

[dim crystal]

yamato vs yamato

the midway is pretty much a domino effect

its impossible to comeback

after that

[stuck copper]

I don't get the IJN top brass decision

why did they send their CVs forward without proper escorts?

so that Enty can pick them up one by one

[dim crystal]

well

honour and pride is both an advantage and disadvantage

imagine killing yourself coz yer lose

pride and hubris

I assume

[stuck copper]

or due to incompetence

[dim crystal]

or the classic "you underestimate my power"

[stuck copper]

Yamamoto Isoroku wants more CVs

and the top brass says: nah, more battleships, or 50/50

and the American be like: we will spam CVs and drown you to death

[dim crystal]

and the suicide shit as well

why

making planes and boats are easy

but training pilots

are not

[stuck copper]

Essex-class CVs are comparable to Shoukaku-class and Taihou-class, and there are 24 of them, none were sunk during their career

[dim crystal]

as i said

domino

if they beat the USN on midway

bombers would be on US cities

like in a week

[stuck copper]

that might be

given that US were rather... surprisingly unprepared for Pacific theater

I mean Enty vs Japan is no joke

[dim crystal]

the US has superior production potential

than every other forces in the world

well

the JP could have just try to sign some peace shit and solidify their bases

doubt the west would have give a fuck about china

[stuck copper]

They can't handle China

too big

[dim crystal]

not if you kill them all

the jp did try that

[stuck copper]

can you? I'd say it is hard

[dim crystal]

yea

probably genocide is rather hard

but destroy china forever is not something that is impossible

like get some territories and puppet government

their choice to ally themselves with the german is questionable

since the german cant help them and they cant help the germans

[brittle ravine]

awkward moment : 2 times grind 11-4. didn't get 3 stars

[wintry sonnet]

surprisingly good haul today

60% done on improved blue dc, 20% done on 2 purp torps

[dim crystal]

you are pretty lucky

i barely get any drops

or any tries

@stuck copper use your fights

[wintry sonnet]

what's your signal strength incidentally

cause I hit 8 today

and on lower ones the drops were indeed absolute ass

[dim crystal]

I'm gonna hit 7 today

[wintry sonnet]

think at strength 5 or 6 I went 3 maps with no drop

[brittle ravine]

Nuts

And finally.

[ornate mantle]

Two more nodes till Sendai Retrofit hnnnnggggggg

Then I need to start retrofitting Mogami

[flat palm]

No reveal tweets today huh

I guess so

[verbal obsidian]

ye silly

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

Don’t give up.

They’ll come soon.

I just thought of a fun combinations

Amakagi or Nakaga/ Juneu/Urakaze/Helena

[verbal obsidian]

ive been looking forward to izumo and ibuki since i started

shipfus arent meant for war

theyre meant for lewding

and wifing

[tranquil sequoia]

/wiki shimakaze

[marble relic]

No wiki pages found.

[tranquil sequoia]

hmmm

[ornate mantle]

I want to Waifu them all.

Everyone must be wife’d.

[verbal obsidian]

except the lolis

you sick banana

[ornate mantle]

Only Thicc Lolis.

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

[flat palm]

roon and monarch yespls

Yeptune is good too, but not for lewding

[ornate mantle]

Neptune is 100% for lewding purposes.

[flat palm]

[tranquil sequoia]

cant wait for ink steel

[dim crystal]

dont be a drag queen

we all know you will

[ornate mantle]

TBH, after seeing Xlice going for subs.

I’m scared of Gacha a little.

[dim crystal]

I have given up

on getting 100%

subs are a myth

[ornate mantle]

I haven’t given up.

[dim crystal]

especially without a rateuop

[ornate mantle]

I have 3/5 subs.

No whaling.

[dim crystal]

2/5 here

screw you for having 1 more than me

[ornate mantle]

Accepted.

[flat palm]

my expectations are shattered since vdir

on anything gacha

i have 70 builds max day one, if i dont get nagato ill be mighty salty

[dim crystal]

missed ykkz?

[flat palm]

nah

but i had to whale like mad

nagato, taihou and ykkz are 3 ships i dont want to miss out on

no matter what

[dim crystal]

jinxed

[flat palm]

luckily glorious is free from farming, i have worse luck with event elites than ssr usually

my luck in this game works like this

[ornate mantle]

Okay, 2 more reveals.

[flat palm]

every drop only ssr/elite

get them all day one

[ornate mantle]

Yoizuki probably getting the skins.

[flat palm]

gacha, goes to shit

[ornate mantle]

GIVE IS I-13 DEVS PLEASE OR ILL CRY.

[flat palm]

my guess is kawakaze skin and yoizuki skin

[ornate mantle]

[dim crystal]

remember, no RERUNS

[ornate mantle]

SILENCE. I BELIEVE IN FUCK UP KUN

[flat palm]

i got akaga day 1 as new player, finished ch 11 in one day, finished ch 10 in two days, got niizuki maya and poi in one week of farming

and then my gacha goes to shit

as downside

[dim crystal]

ez kawakaze

I guess

[flat palm]

i hate that kawakaze is 2% this event

why couldnt nagato be the only 2%

[dim crystal]

incoming

[flat palm]

im so scared of building lots of kawakaze

[dim crystal]

[flat palm]

building kawa will feel shit

bc she drops in d2 which is map u would be spam farming this event

i hate when they put dropable ssrs as 2%

then again, zuikaku was 0.7% and i got her 6 times last event in gacha

so eh

rate up is a lie

[ornate mantle]

I wouldn’t mind Dupes of each, but I’m not rolling for them if I get them one after the other.

[flat palm]

me as a new player: aw man i want enterprise so much, hope i build her soon

me now: hello my 35th enterprise

[ornate mantle]

I mean, it’s natural, lmao. I’m always thankful for getting more Enterprise.

Because Medals.

[flat palm]

ive only ever gotten 1 hood from builds

[ornate mantle]

Honestly, my luck has been all around phenomenal in all my time in AL.

[flat palm]

enty, takao and prinz show up like no ones business

[dim crystal]

enterprise is my last SR from the old set

[ornate mantle]

Both in farming and Gacha.

[dim crystal]

[ornate mantle]

Fuck same.

[flat palm]

oh yeah ive never built warspite more than once too

[dim crystal]

well

[ornate mantle]

I need them for MLB

[flat palm]

mine is lb1 lol

[dim crystal]

you could get those

[verbal obsidian]

[dim crystal]

by rolling for nagato

[flat palm]

we never get warspite in exchange either

[dim crystal]

and failed

[verbal obsidian]

my warspite is ready for kai

[ornate mantle]

Oh really!

[verbal obsidian]

[vital edge]

We got warspite once before in exchange

[ornate mantle]

Immy warspite isn’t ready which is why I need Dupes

[dim crystal]

we got ws once

[vital edge]

Yep

[dim crystal]

thats when I got her

[ornate mantle]

Same, my one and only warspite is from exchange, lmao.

[verbal obsidian]

[flat palm]

my first one was from amagi event lol

[dim crystal]

i got 4 of ws

from amagi

and amagi after 360 cubes

[vital edge]

I got Amagi and co. rather quickly so I never got a chance to get ws

[flat palm]

i was such a noob early on AL, i was like asking my friend what ssrs i should try get

[vital edge]

I got mine from first week drawing

[flat palm]

he told me to get hood but not spend cubes at the moment

[ornate mantle]

Same. Got Amagi rathe quickly

[flat palm]

so i went against his advice, did 5 heavy build, hood first one

and then i did special multi, got lusty and takao so i got 3 ssr first day of playing

lol

[vital edge]

Well, your friend should've told you to "read" and not judge by rarity

That's something every new guy should be told

[flat palm]

i specifically asked what ssr to build for though

[vital edge]

Enty would be the only one I'd mention

Anyone else can have subs

Enty was my first SSR

haven't used her since November

[ornate mantle]

I got Hood by accident while chasing for Lusty... also got Enty while purposefully chasing Lusty.

[vital edge]

You didn't get to keep her?

wiped

But you got avrora on record, right?

[ornate mantle]

I got Hood by accident because I thought I did a two pull in Special... but I wasn’t paying attention and hit heavy instead... then Hood timer came out and I was like “waaaahhhhh”.

[flat palm]

[vital edge]

I know, you told me that before

[flat palm]

freaakiin hood

[vital edge]

I'm kinda pissy that I didn't care before

[ornate mantle]

Wuuuuuuuuu

I would have loved an Avrora

[flat palm]

i thought literally every person got cbt code if they wanted it

[vital edge]

I would've loved joining CBT

At least now i would've

Back then, I pre-judged this as "any other gacha"

[ornate mantle]

Honestly, I didn’t even know about the closed beta.

[vital edge]

I sorta did thanks to a server I was in

[ornate mantle]

I ended up realizing the global version was coming out when pre-ordering the app on store was a thing.
