im probly gonna have to cuck myself and stick to 1 daily special for another month or more
i dont want to whale another event lol
I was considering.
and i love jean bart, need gems for the dunkerque l2d
OOF.
its probly the smart thing to do
i had 450 going into winters crown
then next 3 events
i ended up at 10 cubes when i got my last ssr
so here we are
i was tempted to oath yoizuki since i just got her to 100 buuut
shes probly in the "cute, but never use much more" club
I'd oath anyways.
You felt the spark.
Follow through with your desires.
Don't turn away from them.
You can always get more rings.
buut i only have one, and its saved for belchan
then i need to buy 1 more for monty already

i still need to buy more dock space soon too
i need to be smart considering how garbage my gacha luck has been
can always oath yoizuki later!
Ibuki.
Will be one of the only two girls I'm willing to spend gems for outside of rings packs.
i have been informed that belchan can solo vanguard ch 12
a friend that plays on cn 
shes a pretty okay ship
Fairly average evasion for a CL.
she gets speed and healing too doe
probably unicorn
Figured.
Yeah, idk. Guess I gotta see it to believe it, lmao.
120 Evasion at Lv. 120.
Nanoda does surprisingly a lot of damage in pvp
I thought she was just tanky with decent damage
i hope at least we could get two kizuna AI for free
and not just one
because rolling for 3x SR is .................
maybe shop?
If there is one
not confident about my chances on this
I’m just gna skip it, not gonna get baited by a collab again
Black heart I could defend rolling for cause I like her and noire
But this eh
Alright
I have to ask
What's a reasonable estimate for when the Ink-Stained Sakura event will get rerun?
That's the range you're looking at.
So next year
Basicly
Nice job, me
Max.
1 Year.
Min 6 months.
Otherwise, wait till JP announces something and we'll probably get it with them.
Although that's highly unlikely as our first run was their Rerun.
So we might actually get it at another random point.
We still need ch 12, pr, glorious, iris and mikasa + 1 year anniv before we’re caught up

Oh and centaur
I didn't realize we were that close to them in terms of content
Im hyped for glorious more than mikasa event lol
They'll speed up after the UI overhaul is released, right?
Well we have been getting ALOT recently
The opposite.
We'll slow down once we're caught up.
We're going stupid fast right now my dude.
No, I mean that UI overhaul must be tying down some manpower
UI is just a QOL change.
And, yes, I'm aware that our event schedule is compressed
2-week events with 100k point ladders are hell
Not that everyone will try to hit 100k points
I'm not following the point you're trying to get across by "tying down some manpower"
I hope we get another 2-3 weeks to chill after PR is out
I need to stock up those cubes
I mean that it takes development time to make changes, even if they are largely cosmetic.
Yeah ill try get roon week 1 too
They prob have different teams for qol and events so i doubt it
Just like they hire artists
So is everyone just going to blow through 6 fleet ships for PR.
Or is there some strat I'm supposed to be going for.
Im doing 1:3
AH.
For ibuki its recommended to do 1:3 too
3 ijn cruisers and any bb
Gotcha
Uhhhhh, for me...
I want prinz to get mvp lol
Jintsuu/ Sendai/ someone else.
According to my friend the most efficient is to spam ch 8
I seee.
Iirc ch 8 is 4 mobs for boss so you can do all of them + boss with the one fleet i think?
but the ? nodes in 7-2 are so good 

that meme about zeppy is me..
I was sent this and told "this is you" https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/259249699045900289/570075328182222868/7zza9n4bbat21.jpg?width=655&height=677
childrens' day
whats that?
1 month early I guess idk
oh is it the gold week thing?
its a uh
no
its a celebration for children
china's children day this year is june 9
japan is may 5
so not early
Children's Day (こどもの日 Kodomo no Hi) is a Japanese national holiday which takes place annually on May 5 and is the final celebration in Golden Week.
I googled japan and got november 20th
I was looking for china
because chinese azur lane came first


guess the apostrophe really makes a difference haha
belfast is a yan?
Except her
none of the new lolis are yans iirc
Unicorn l2d and this kisaragi skin both have yandere expressions
no idea about kisa, but Uni doesn't

Scary either way
I hope AL one day gets a way to have multiple secretaries at once
Like a full on party
she looks scared
She looks like she wants to kill me 

That’s more or less disgust in you as a shitkikan.
that doesn't make sense with what she's saying tho
so I'm going with being afraid of Ferris wheel
See. I feel it’s make sense if her eyebrows made her look scared.
That’s just a straight face shadow over eyes.
Which is indicative of disgust.
I get the context, but yeah... I can’t envision that face as scared.
If anything.
She’s telling you she’s scared, but her expression is one of disgust that you’d even recommend the Ferris wheel.
also
it's absolutely possible they were just looking for excuse to make that face
her expression is one of disgust that you’d even recommend the Ferris wheel. see, that's the problem. Skin literally called "long-awaited date" and all her other lines are absolutely fawning over you, so it makes 0 sense to make disgusted face over the ferris wheel

I like the face as well
it's just a little out of place if you look at full picture
Definitely getting mixed vibes from text to expression.
She even has that loss shine in eyes.
I was expecting it to be Special touch expression at first when I saw it 
I kinda wish I got this skin.
But was poor at the time.

And I like Qipao more.
I wasn't going to buy it, but they messed up the price so it was like 300 gems cheaper

but I absolutely love the skin in the end
it's great
thx yongshi for fucking up and letting me appreciate great skin
Yeah, was good
don't like qipao, too lewd
Not a fan of lewd skins in general
except St Louis l2d
and I guess Lulu Christmas skin, but that one is equal parts lewd and cute
Hello there, I am evil, you can trust me!

how're you doing with event Restart?
not doing it at all

got all the ships and shop is not that useful
so I'm at around 15k
well it seems that I still have a life to catch
yay
Jesus Christ that's cursed af
https://i.redd.it/opwvii1bnyt21.jpg i saw a pic of this thrown around of Bismarck
in-game, only Ise and Hyuuga can have some sort of "melee attack"
she looks like Enty doppelganger
yea bismarck and enty look alike
still, two years and no Bismarck lmao
well, she did it and turned Hood into a submarine
then got gangbanged by the entire British fleet
https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/bgd6qd/possible_new_bismarck_art_leaked_courtesy_of_alg/
if what the girls said in Winter Crown is true
well whatever, I couldn't care more about Bismarck

at this rate, ships like Yamato, Iowa or Bismarck will never get a chance to show themselves in AL
I don't ask for your caring though
I don't really like that art if it's real 
the Bismarck one?
ye
I like the art itself
but it doesn't seem fitting for Bisko
especially that smile
it's too gentle and caring
well it looks more like Enty than Bisko herself
The emblem is Bismarck's so its probably real
I'm fine if they going with "two sides of one coin" kind of thing

I heard that this pic has been asked to be taken down on CN forums or so
still, at this rate, Bismarck will remain a myth
look at that (c) Yongshi (?)
Lol
They just make it
So all the big name botes
Are enty face
Just different hair colour and such
Enty be like Schrodinger cat
Yostar : 
I'm gonna be pissed if she is
But yeah cn anni is just around the corner isn't it
And this gets leaked

I mean it would be in line with their big event
Cn and jp 2d anniversary is close to august isnt it?
I think its safe to assume something big will happen for 2d year anniversary
Yeah
most likely bismarck, considering the cn mods are removing every bismarck post
Considering they wanted bismarck as part of a big event
And anni is one of the biggest if not the biggest
Bismarck and yamato would probably both be ultra rare gacha only
From what I can gather, I can assume Yamato = Izumo + Hiei
Yamato inherits Izumo's hull and Hiei's superstructure
They actually buffed izumo on jp and cn this pr2 release
i think thats the first buff theyve done
Her barrage can go through shields now in AL, (but its weird it couldnt in the first place)
also, her AP penetration within 5 km is the highest
Honestly they did mention yamato coming on a stream a while ago
So I wouldn't be surprised if we got both together on anni
I don't speak Japanese 
general has reached new degen levels
but if you can, please brief us
A friend told me about it
I'm quite hyped for it all
KMS finally being not crap
Tirpitz now is like

Bismarck got Siren's secret weapon, but Derpitz did not
There's just no place over an extremely niche unit
Vs actual units that don't limit comps
Bismarck can have Rodney
for the latter torpedoed the former
Like Tirpitz wouldn't be that bad if her entire first skill didn't get completely gimped just because of a BC / BB
It does
btw
Btw from a friend
FDG is so op
That she can solo main fleet
W13

Should be
imagine having a pvp comp of graf friedrich bismarck
most tanky main fleet ever
Yeah that's what I mentioned to my friend
15% more hp

Like hello
I don't have high hope
we won't be able to get them for the time being
still, how to obtain Zeppy? Build or quest or so?
If it's like belchan
anyone got any confirmation for this?
Event done
But obviously
We're only guessing at this point
also, there is a case of Hiei-chan
Oh right
that might be announced within day
We still need a loli USS bote
We don't have one for them either
Enty-chan
I could see that
the most popular one among USN botes

entie
I’d be upset if they called her Enty if it ever did exist
because I already call enterprise entie
if I am Yostar/Manjuu/Yongshi, I will take Enterprise and lolify her 
so, among USN ships, who is the second most popular, if we take Enty as the first?
Well remember
All of these loli versions
Are all SSR
So remove all elites from the equation
well now speak of USN, aside from Enty, the others seem rather bland
even Enty didn't have any peculiarity in her personality
elite 
Actually I was referring to the things they took them from
what is hiei you speak of?
Hiei's rarity
never heard of ship of such name on En server
Lol
But I was trying to see if there was a pattern
Bel + Graf was SSR then got SR loli
But hiei is SR by default
Sadness
Hiei-chan is also SR from the twitter
So we know at the bare minimum
That loli versions are SR
But the fact hiei is SR and belfast is SSR / Zepp is SSR
Means that currently the OG versions are either SSR or SR
well, I don't think the rarity has anything to do here
they just lolify whoever fits their eyes
lolify QE
Well I think they wouldn't lolify something to a higher rarity than itself
can QE get any lolified? 🤔
QE lolifed
Is a washboard
a toddler
Just a literal washboard
That's the image
but she will call you "onii-san"
what if the shipgirls have accelerated growth
but so far, anyone who got lolified are girls with big breast
as far as I know, ship girls are immortal
they will reach a certain age then stop aging
Oh ho
Just found this
From reading 4chan
"The devs accidentally posted it on some event ticket. They removed it right away, so it's probably real."
About the bismarck thing

Big yikes from them
well anyway, we won't be expecting any Bismarck soon
I mean
cos she is just a myth

We didn't expect Zepp
But we have her
Soo
I wouldn't bank on it
but it will be funny to get Hiei-chan first before her mature version
Cause remember
If this is part of anni event
We will forever be behind
If they don't
Since unlike other events
There's no reruns
Which means that when the next anni comes around they'd still be in front
Every time
JP will still be the flagship of the whole AL
Lol
but I assume we would catch up eventually
it is not like Achilles vs. turtle
Well I mean
With reruns
You just slap another rerun in add the stuff
And done
With anni you'd have to do 2 in 1
Because the only time we get another anni is at the same time as CN pretty much does
So we'd always be a whole year behind on anni content otherwise
who knows?
Well considering they want us to catch up
It makes the most sense
what if they grouped everything from anni and threw it in August?
Possible
like we will have the content from both anni
That's my thoughts
It's the only way we don't end up behind every year
there will still be some distance from us to JP but just make it short enough without overwhelming us with event after event
Yeah
Definitely
that's all I ask
well, and no Atago

Lol
Hiei is hot af
Can't argue that lol
yep, when she arrives, I will marry her
I got eyes on her among all Kongou-class BC
also
muda muda muda
DIO
I'm just here
Using PoW
Like a mad man while farming
PoW UR when pls

well, in a full USN + QE fleet, she has highest FP
Tbf
QE is overkill really
or with QE + Hyuuga + 3 USN ships?
I tend to use her in a full USS fleet
Because of the AA




Hmm
On further inspection
Bismarck's blonde hair and blue eyes is a fixed design
You can't really make the pride of the German navy any different than that

None of the german botes so far has that kind of feature

KC is beginning to celebrate its 6th aniversary
I wonder what it will give to players
if what some said about EN AL anniversary is true, can I have Atago?
you mean the part where you can exchange for a select SSR?
If we're gonna get the exact same ships there as JP did, yes
Atago was pickable on JP, so she should be in EN as well
as for what KC will give, propably nothing. They usually dont give out any freebies outside of a rare occasion like christmas and valentines, I dont quite recall them handing out anything massive like extra slots. The one time they did it is they increased equipment slots on their 2.0 update
It's a different philosophy than AL in that regard
since there's no emphasis on gacha and such, they dont feel as much of a need to hand out freebies
since AL is tied closely to its gacha mechanics, there's a bigger impact on handing out stuff like cubes, cause it's a showcase of generosity
as long as I can have Atago
don't see why you shouldn't
I'd assume their philosophy is to expect people to assume they'll get at the very least the same stuff JP has, unless special circumstances occur
circumstances that are within the realm of understanding like "We're not gonna give you chips because there's no awakening yet" or "we won't give you the submarine in DC because the sub mechanics aren't in EN yet"
looking over the anniversary event page there's nothing that we dont already have implemented that they can remove
other than meowficcers that is
but there's still 2 months left, so it's likely they'll get added by then
what PR s hips would you go for first? Saint-Louis? Monarch? Neptune?
Ibuki
Monarch
I'm going for Ibuki because I find her to be the most appealing
I dont choose based on tier list or utility
I just like her design in general
Going for Monarch because Miyuki Sawashiro
and she's just gorgeous in general
❤
couldn't care less about tier lists
oof
Miyuki Sawashiro was Red Saber no?
I'm going for roon as I need frontline ships
as well as Katalina in GBF
I can respect that, that's a really enjoyable voice
I like these firm, confident female voices
Red Saber is Nero
I just call her Nero
This is why you dont build your characters on the basis of their color and class and then just change the words around 
too much of a clusterfuck
I can't wait for people to get confused when someone mentions Zeppy
it makes sense for Mordred, since "of red" is her team, not her colour
"Wait are you talking about loli zepp or are you just nicknaming Zeppelin"
but off-topic
oh
interesting
the girl behind Monarch also voiced Sinon in SAO
and Camilla in Fire Emblem? 
ok, I'm inching closer to team Monarch now
might make her my 3rd pick
ikr
unless we will get 2nd batch of PR in the end
in which case I have to make Fried my first pick
Soft Medea voice + KMS is just too good to pass
Oh, if we getting PR2 (doubt) - I'm going for Seattle 100%
I mean, I find Seattle to be enjoyable, but she's a bit too...
eh
vanilla
not that I hate vanilla, god forbid, it's just we have so many vanilla girls
she's got plenty to compete with
and I have a personal bias towards dominant female characters
amusingly it dawned on me, with Zeppy being added, you can have an actual Tirpitz + 2 carriers backline that won't interfere with her skill
and is still a KMS fleet
not that it'll shoot up KMS to be top meta, but it's nice to see KMS getting, oddly enough, a buff in a way
cause now you can still employ tirpitz and have a full backline that doesnt take away from her main strength
hold on a second, Miyuki Sawashiro voiced Milanor in Yggdra Union? 
that's not a game I thought I'd hear anytime soon
AND Cammy from Street Fighter 
Voice actresses are scary
Amagi is the safest choice for Miyuki
I could name a couple that'd fit the sicky girl trope, but not neccessarily a mature sicky girl
that's surprisingly not a common sight
🏆 REEEEEEEE
Hood and Takao I love you but WHY
@hushed nest #trophy-room 
Kawakaze
I like the extreme tho, not a single elite, 2 SRs and then just rares and commons 
sounds accurate
Kizuna AI Skin
cool, how about explaining which Kizuna Ai the skin will work on

or are we gonna do a roulette spin on which of the 4 kizunas is this skin supposed to be ofr
if it wasn't for the torpedo at the edge of screen, most people wouldn't be able to tell
It does say "Kizuna Ai skin", and the others have different names like anniversary and whatnot, so its probably just for the elite or maybe just all of them cause why not
the torps are pretty much a giveaway, but still, considering we got 4 different ones, you propably should emphasize that 
but then again, at this rate I'm certain there'll be a skin for every version
Wait, is there a rumor of PR 2 coming out as well.
more like people hoping that's the case
because "why else would they postpone it right!?"
Ah.
Doesn’t change my Ibuki plans.
But it’d make me go Azuma second.
Instead of Monarch.

So I need IJN heavy cruisers huh.
Oh nice, I got three.
For Ibukiiiiiii.
Really, PR two just needs a Frontline or backline? That’s helpful, lmao.
I mean unless you can name other positions than backline and frontline 
the thing is
Submarine.
that's the same as claiming all the fleets need oil

we don't have Pr submarines so 
thats would be 2x slower
I actually suspected that it would be left as Hiei-chan in this case, since she is an IJN ship
to be fair, how would you nickname that
Also that
Zeppelin can go into Zeppy, Belfast can go into Belette
I suppose the best they could do is call her Little Hiei
there's not really anything clever to work with for Hiei
hieiei
Only took me 2 days straight of farming

Time machine still not working well at Azu's house 
oof i finally opened my game to do some commissions
found out i forgot to do pvp and hm yesterday


I wake up later than the announcement, lmao.
I wake up later than the announcement, lmao.
/r/whoosh
I had a day off today, so I took advantage and slept in.

Nobody : Nodody at all
Friedrich : starts playing the 5th symphony
11-4 farming
o kawaii koto

I just call her Fried
if you need to look for a nickname, you could just go for Frieda 


Don’t like the skin the, but I’ll get it because limited stuff
ok, I have several questions
but I suppose I'll stop at one: What is with all the loli focus this week 
Children’s day.
Is most likely what the purpose of the Loli focus is.
What I want to know
Is where Loli Ibuki is.
if that's the reason, then there better be some sweet new mom shipgirls being added on May 12 
im here to lewd
not in this server u are not
aside from how it was obvious when we got zeppy, I dont think you get to claim being right when you state something that was already public knowledge 8 hours ago 
if we ignore the inb4 part I suppose you did only say that 
I just woke up and didn't realize the #game-news have something new
sadly her JP tweet mirrors the same thing Zep did
"available in special construct"
so that's already 2 elites you have to snipe, potentially from a separate build pool than the collab
nothing I can say
I mean there's still a small bit of hope that they're just being twitter
like how our twitter would claim a ship is only available from 1 source
even tho they weren't
I dunno if JP has situations like this
interestingly it looks like JP's gonna have a triple core data campaign
core data?
so it's tripled during event?
not entirety of it
cause the collab's up till May 15
or at least the login period for getting the freebie kizuna is May 15 so I'm assuming that's it
how long will the Kizuna collab last?
btw, every year we will have a lolified ship or two to celebrate JP's Children's Day?
3 Elites and 1 SSR for me to snipe in Special.
1 Elite and 2 Rare in Light.
3 SSR in Limited.
KANSEN are for protecc not lewd
AL keeps lolifying ships loles 
Wtf are roris
RORI'S = LOLI'S

...?
bel-chan
zeppy
hiei-chan
Im not a shitikan like you


I award my KANSEN daily headpats
Lewding is the ultimate form of love.

I wonder if Zeppy's chibi is gonna be like this too.
Zeppy-chan might be more or less Yukikaze-sama without nanoda
not today at least
I will burn the last of my oil to get as many purple plate as possible
ready to burn your oil
Congrations you done it
you and I both



if i'm lucky
i'll go under 20k oil
guys
i'm on my last run of D1
before i can do D2
what just happened
you can
exit boss fleets?
without your fleet leaving
when did this happen
yes, she did drop
And I think I got her as drop

i have less than that
and only two lv 100 ships 
well maybe you are still new
I have been playing since the August last year, and I feel so ashamed
it's just a game tho 
look at Urusai above
he has been prioritizing something other than AL and still has more chips than mine
fueh, one really can't compare oneself to others
And this stupid thing took 2 days to complete
Hello there Restart-san, are you here?

finally got kawa after 64 cubes more
So basically
oh well
We're getting 2 events back to back
Both with no PR prints
@tough burrow: I think you are somewhat right about event's pace

How annoying
how cute
how... normal
how annoying
I like how it states it like restart came up with it
though it was a group discussion with the staff
well, he only speaks for the staffs
still, I am surprised to see that a lot are content with the current pace
maybe people are getting used to the current pace
Nothing really wrong with the current pace
well, a lot agreed with current pace from the poll
@stuck copper ikr 
also our pace rn isn't that bad. Like, it's way faster compared to jp/cn, ye, but it's not that bad, we not running multiple big events at the same time (usually) with some exceptions like rn, but cn/jp running same loli+ai gacha, so not exactly "en pace"
And I wouldn't have been surprised with "you know what, fasten your seatbelts, 2 month to catch up" or whatever
but we don't
well, some just asked to slow down a bit
like a week is a bit hasty
but I think from devs' point of view, two weeks break is a double that can lead to trailing forever
and some would say that we don't need any break and let's just get content faster and catch up

that's why it's moot discussion
So... 123 are content with current pace, 14 say that it's quick, and 10 say that it's too slow
Hmm, well i think current pace IS fine, but i think the vdir - nagato event came abit too soon for alot of people
I think we had one week break? Or so
because there are subs
Maybe they didnt count vdir as big enough of an event since alot of people had cranes already
But for people who didnt it got pretty rough
I feel like when they add things like subs to perm and monty, they need to give a tiny bit of a break more for people who do want to roll for them even if perm
And maybe add more of the mini events between instead
well, from what I can tell, catching up is a priority right now
It is, i just think the last few weeks was alot at once
Its not like we have much left to catch up on
Iris, glorious, mikasa, centaur and 1 year anniv
Did i miss anything
15 last time, and 15 on the latest mail
That FP buff
not yet
OH NO
AKAGI CHAN
apparently cn patch notes mention akagi chan
Wait @tough burrow didnt you say zeppy would be elite?
Akagi?
oh
SSR = SR in our server
it's rare/sr/ssr
btw, are they translating wrong?
and we have rare/elite/sr
I didn't see Akagi-chan
Akagi chan hasnt been posted yet but is in patch notes so its most likely correct
probly pic post today
nah, it's not wrong, just wasn't announced separately
i hope akagi chan has a complet different personality to adult akagi
cute pie
