avrora-general

[stuck copper]

I mean a good example

Is gun botes

[clear gate]

Yup

[stuck copper]

Since they have no torps

It means 0 torp stat

Despite the fact they have 2 guns

[clear gate]

But seeing 5k is cool P:

[stuck copper]

I do agree there

My Sara will be maxed gear wise soon

Just another +2 for fighters

And she be good to go

Well besides getting to 110

4680 she's on atm

[clear gate]

With Helldivers mine is at 4792

[stuck copper]

Been working on USS atm

Only a few things to max out level wise

Once I finish Sara's gear

I'll work back on lusty

Btw what would you say is better

Steam Cata or hp for her

[wintry sonnet]

I found one good thing about the maint being 10 hours

I dont have to send the 1,2k commission until before maint starts

[clear gate]

I haven't used double steam cats enough to comment on their effectiveness

[stuck copper]

Hmm

[clear gate]

I have used steam cat + oil tank and it works pretty well

but I don't think oil tank is needed for PvE

[stuck copper]

Oh right

[clear gate]

not yet atm

[stuck copper]

How good is the airstrike cd reduction?

Cause I was thinking

The main issue about vicky and lusty is their speed right

So using something like that

I'd wager would be generally better on them

[clear gate]

I haven't found a need to increase Saratoga's speed unless I'm running Lexington at the same time. But then usually I'll increase Lexington's speed instead, and keep Saratoga as the heavier hitter

[stuck copper]

Well generally

It's better on slower botes to begin with

And Sara is as fast as enty

So she definitely doesn't need it

[clear gate]

Wait

what airstrike cd reduction

Oil tank don't do that

[ornate mantle]

Same.

10 hour maint is fine.

[stuck copper]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Homing_Beacon

This one

4% strike cut

[clear gate]

I have never used that

[stuck copper]

Lol

But yeah I was thinking about it when we get it

Like most strikes

Are about 25 secs at base

Give or take

[clear gate]

I don't play JP/CN, so I really couldn't comment on that

and how effective it is

[stuck copper]

So 4% of 25 secs

Is a full second

[clear gate]

I mean, nobody seems to be recommending it

[stuck copper]

Well yeah

Most never use vicky or lusty

If you look at the general usage of CV's

It's always things like enty and akaga

Who are fast to begin with

[clear gate]

For Lusty I've just been using faster planes

[stuck copper]

Like Vicky

Only has 110 at 200 oath

For speed at 120

[stuck copper]

Enty is like 139

About 29 more

[clear gate]

Yeah, I lose some AA and DPS, but Illustrious is infamously bad at DPS anyway

so I don't mind using a worse plane if it's faster

[stuck copper]

I'm actually for the lolz

With both of them

Using all HMS planes

Because why nawt

[clear gate]

If I had more Skyrockets I'd use those instead

My one Skyrocket is on Uni though

[stuck copper]

Seafang / Fairey Firefly / Blackburn Firebrand

That's Vicky's planes

[clear gate]

The Firebrand isn't even bad

P:

[stuck copper]

Yeah it's basically

Barracuda

With better AA guns

[clear gate]

Slightly slower, slightly harder hitting 'cuda

[stuck copper]

Albeit slightly slower

Fairey Firefly though would be considered a meme

When compared against the god that is helldiver

[clear gate]

Helldiver is secret SSR

[stuck copper]

It really is

I use the firefly though because it's amusing

[clear gate]

The BTD-1 is actually quite good, but it's no Helldiver

[stuck copper]

If we get gold Helldiver

Just expect every other plane in dive to be ultra trash

[clear gate]

The funny thing about the Helldiver is that the IRL plane wasn't very good

[stuck copper]

Which makes it ironically funny

She's level 109 now

150 oath

But as you can tell by her reload

It's quite lacking

[clear gate]

"It's absymal"

[stuck copper]

Which is part of why

If my head numbers are right

The beacon

Should make her as fast if not faster than enty

Despite having the advantage of being a heavy armoured bote

[clear gate]

Smh just do full speedmeme :3

Skyrocket + Fairey Fulmar + 'cuda

[stuck copper]

But then you have to cut damage

[clear gate]

That's the joke

[stuck copper]

Like the reason for firefly

Is actually that the extra 20 avi

[clear gate]

Comet 🦊

[stuck copper]

• the 60 you get from beacon

That's 80 avi

Which is about the same as you would get for a second steam cata

Albeit 20 less

Only it gives her the ability to keep up with the fastest botes

I might even do it for lusty too

It's from core data

2 of those should be fine honestly

Won't really need more since there's not that many slow botes that need them at once

[clear gate]

Lexington

[stuck copper]

I said at once lol

[clear gate]

lol

[stuck copper]

Unless you have 3 botes that all be slow as fuck in a comp

I'll test the math actually

Shit I can't

Damnit

[clear gate]

Hm?

[stuck copper]

Actually I somewhat can

Intriguing

From reading enty

And sara

With 1 reload

11.17 on enty dive

11.20 on sara

Hmm

It should work to be honest

Not gonna lie though but HMS will be hilarious to mess around with once Centaur comes

Or rather

It will be disgusting to use

@clear gate What I find funny

Is that despite being a CVL

She's literally not even a CVL in terms of stats

Or even her loadout for that matter

[clear gate]

There's a lot of accuracy that has to be compromised in AL for gameplay and whatever

[stuck copper]

No no no I mean

[clear gate]

Like, every carrier should have AA guns

[stuck copper]

Even compared against CVL

She is literally more of a CV

Sara level hp

CV level Avi

CVL level Speed

[clear gate]

IRL Centaur is almost as long as a regular CV

[stuck copper]

She's actually pretty overloaded when you think about it

I think the only thing lacking on her

Is AA compared to other CV's

[clear gate]

Actually, maybe not 🤔

Yeah no, misread some specs

[stuck copper]

Lol

[clear gate]

Did you know that Saratoga is longer than Enterprise

[stuck copper]

Yeah well in her case

Sara wasn't meant to be what she is

Sara and Lex were intended to be BC's

Oh right

Have you seen centaurs skill?

[clear gate]

Which one

[stuck copper]

Her first skill

Not the one everyone uses her for

[clear gate]

o

[stuck copper]

Have you seen it in combat?

It's a pretty amazing skill

@clear gate

Not the best of quality but

You get the idea

[clear gate]

Yah

[stuck copper]

That's

All of her torps alone

Which is hilariously funny

So yeah

QE / Centaur and Vicky

Is my idea

Anyway

Me sleep

[clear gate]

o/

[ornate mantle]

I can't wait to be finished with my last final tomorrow.

So I can just go all out and indulge in this event.

God.

I just noticed how grat Ayanami looks.

I love her Qipao.

So damn much.

REAL

BABY CRANE

[dense wing]

no

it MUST say azur lane to be real

[verbal obsidian]

ya got me

i was overly excited

[ornate mantle]

Goddamn I feel jebaited again.

I got hyped.

I've seen this shit before.

but I'm still hoping.

For a Loli Cranes.

[dense wing]

and all ships are always drawn by their original artist

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, we aint FEH.

[verbal obsidian]

welp im sad again

[ornate mantle]

Don't worry.

[dense wing]

at least you know not to fall for it

[ornate mantle]

Someday.

nah.

I'll still fall for this shit.

[dense wing]

well

[ornate mantle]

[dense wing]

you dont have eyes

[ornate mantle]

I'm legally blind.

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

[dense wing]

that means u got eyes!!

[ornate mantle]

[vital edge]

Color me impressed if you type on discord blind

[ornate mantle]

What's discord.

[dense wing]

speech to text

I have to do that sometimes and I hate it

[vital edge]

I don't think text to speech works two-way

[ornate mantle]

text to Speech and Speech to text.

I don't see why it wouldn't work both ways.

[dense wing]

discord does have that option

[verbal obsidian]

half of the things we type in here

[ornate mantle]

Then again.

I 'm blind.

So i don't see shit.

[vital edge]

Discord lets people's messages be voiced out?

[ornate mantle]

[verbal obsidian]

are not recognizable by a bot

[dense wing]

yes

[verbal obsidian]

hek, i can't even understand half the things we type

[vital edge]

That must be a chaotic option

[dense wing]

oh yeah..

[vital edge]

some channels are at 100mph

[ornate mantle]

LOL.

Slow mode.

[vital edge]

#al-general

[ornate mantle]

I don't want to imagine general without slow mode.

But then again.

I don't have to imagine it.

[lament flower]

[ornate mantle]

I can just go to general and be disappointed.

[vital edge]

big servers in a shellnut

[ornate mantle]

Disappointment.

[vital edge]

90% of it is

the remaining 10% is Australia hidden channels we hide in

Err, so...

how do I do text-to-speech on the receiving end?

I wanna hear #al-general in all its glory

[dense wing]

people have to use a command which im sure is blocked on this disc

yep

[ornate mantle]

LOL

God bless general

How did general get to this point.

[pallid rose]

Few hours left

[ornate mantle]

2 hours

Or rather.

1.5 hours.

[lament flower]

Dont remind me

[ornate mantle]

Sweet child.

I am sorry.

[vital edge]

Good thing I saved enough points for the oil later on

I'm ready for the purge maintenance

[ornate mantle]

Oh baby 10 hr cube commission right before maint.

That’s delicious.

[pallid rose]

Neever got Nagato

[ornate mantle]

Do you have resources left?

[pallid rose]

All I need are cubes

Been grinding whole night last night

[ornate mantle]

I’m sorry my child.

This is the 11th hour.

Rather, the 10th hour.

[pallid rose]

Got 2 and then what I received was a Kinugasa

[ornate mantle]

I believe in you.

[dense wing]

10th hour?

[pallid rose]

Even Intern-kun's blessing wasn't enough

[dense wing]

its almost 9pm

so I think you mean 9th hour?

[ornate mantle]

Is it.

Yeah.

9th hour

My sense of time I dilated atm.

[dense wing]

yessiree

[ornate mantle]

just finished my last research project for my bachelors... so I'm gonna reward myself with a little bit of Niizuki farming before I go to bed.

[stuck copper]

10 hours

Such a long maintenance

[ornate mantle]

Her skills are out already?

Ah gotcha.

[wintry sonnet]

what the shit is that block of nonsense

did you accidently post your accounting spreadsheet

oh hey, they finally realised carriers with an aux gun need an actual firepower stat

[cosmic pier]

[wintry sonnet]

now add firepower to houshou and we can talk business

[cosmic pier]

that zeppy fp tho

[dense wing]

I believe we have every skill on wiki translated rn

but due to delay

they r not up

[cosmic pier]

leek em @dense wing

[dense wing]

u get to wait

[cosmic pier]

nein i wont wait

[dim crystal]

Who cares

[cosmic pier]

skills are irrelevant n all that and I already know which I wanna get

[dim crystal]

Just level them up

[cosmic pier]

need to get em first

[dim crystal]

[cosmic pier]

kiri almost done

yey i gotta live with this for a week or two

[dense wing]

rip

[dim crystal]

playing CN

yikes

[dense wing]

whats wrong with cn lol

its not like its any different other than some drops

and the starter

and im implying cg is not important to the game mechanic

[dim crystal]

not understand anything just sounds wrong to me

[dense wing]

||cause its not||

you dont know what people can understand n not

I assume they can speak the language/live there even

since you need a residency to play cn

[ornate mantle]

@dense wing : CN is censored through the ass

[dim crystal]

[ornate mantle]

Not that I'm gonna say EN is the best server.

[dim crystal]

well if EN isnt the best

which is then

JP?

[ornate mantle]

No.

Africa Server obviously.

[cosmic pier]

i mean

[dim crystal]

[cosmic pier]

that certain research site is best server

[dense wing]

again

[cosmic pier]

[dense wing]

I said im implying cg is not important to the game mechanic

so I dont accept that argument

personally I prefer the censored!

[ornate mantle]

You don't have to accept it.

I do.

I can't stand it when good art is censored.

[dense wing]

but prinz's skin is weird lol because shes wearing a british vest

[ornate mantle]

And I think it's especially important to a game like AL where the game is based on collecting the art.

[dense wing]

its not like everything is super extensive

[cosmic pier]

prinz's skin is best censor tho

[ornate mantle]

Like, Imagine playing on CN where Albacore is basically a fucking ink blot.

[dense wing]

I think you're mistaking buying skins and collecting ships

I hate albacore's cg

[ornate mantle]

She's not my favorite either.

But I'd rather have her art than no art.

[dense wing]

so I wouldnt mind, but I'd mind if she was an ink blot on every server

because then the art isnt even present

[ornate mantle]

And I'd rather have uncensored art than censored art.

[dense wing]

I'd rather just scrap her

done deal

as ive done before

will do again

[ornate mantle]

CG is probably the most important thing in AL.

[cosmic pier]

"but but muh collecting game! I cant keep all the girls if I retire em!"

[verbal obsidian]

go to sleep

[cosmic pier]

only if you come with me

[ornate mantle]

I need to go to sleep soon.

[verbal obsidian]

i have to get up for work in 5

idk what im doing

[dense wing]

that collecting logic never works with me

[cosmic pier]

same

[dense wing]

im used to having limited/default dock space anyways

[cosmic pier]

I got all the botes in archive anyway

[ornate mantle]

Collecting Logic works for me quite nicely.

[dense wing]

I scrap what I wont use

[ornate mantle]

I'll use everyone for the most part.

[dense wing]

but I will try to get all the stars if I can

[ornate mantle]

Can never know when a skill will become useful, or when a girl becomes fun to play.

[cosmic pier]

its like that weirdass logic in anime n stuff
"this character has died but will forever be alive with you"

[verbal obsidian]

inb4 >cn and jp will always let us know before

[cosmic pier]

my ships die too and will forever be in my archive

[verbal obsidian]

i mean honestly its just

if you have the money to swipe and want to keep your collection

u keep

if youre poor

u dont

[ornate mantle]

I get that people want to keep 150 - 200 dock, so they won't have enough and therefore need to retire ships.

[dense wing]

once I have the satisfaction of receiving them from build/drop then im done

[ornate mantle]

but there's an equally valid mindset in collecting.

[dense wing]

I feel like its not equally as valid

but

for people with OCD

it seems that way

[ornate mantle]

I've been on both ends of the spectrum.

They are 100% valid.

[dense wing]

[ornate mantle]

It just depends on a few things I find, but collecting is super fun.

Especially when there are cute boat girls involved.

[dense wing]

ive just always been simplistic

as nice as it would be to have every ship doing jack in my dock

I just cant stand the idea of the wasted space

/resources

[ornate mantle]

So you do recognize that it's a nice thing to have every ship in the dock.

[dense wing]

kind of I guess

[ornate mantle]

Well no.

[dense wing]

I just know its a common mindset

[ornate mantle]

I think both are very common.

And it depends a lot on the game.

[dense wing]

well yes but

I guess I see it more of a

hoarder type thing

[verbal obsidian]

i sleep, sweet memes friends

[dense wing]

like irl of course I'd throw out what I dont use

[ornate mantle]

Night Zui, I'll join ya soon.

[dense wing]

and I do the same in games

[verbal obsidian]

[dense wing]

it just seems like a conflict to me

[ornate mantle]

I'm a minimalist when it comes to certain aspects and a collector in other aspects.

[cosmic pier]

"but would you throw cute irl girls outta your home"

[dense wing]

yes

[ornate mantle]

Everyone has those two aspects to them... some in more than others.

[dense wing]

unless they were my children

[ornate mantle]

Indeed they did.

[cosmic pier]

cant dry it if I dont have one

[dense wing]

I dont have one actually LOL

ive been looking around for a nice wallet

but I only have 3 cards

so, into my pocket they go!

[ornate mantle]

[flat palm]

I have a phone case with wallet in it

[ornate mantle]

I have a wallet with money in it.

[cosmic pier]

I mean technically, if I had so much monehs and could wehl like so many people around here do and buy shittons of dock slots, the botes Im never gonna use would stay just cause I didnt have to bother, it wouldnt exactly make me like em more
but since I dont and have to live with limited dock slots, the botes just have to go

they often go out in groups of 10 so they wont be alone

im considerate ok

[ornate mantle]

Even people who vehemently defend getting rid of ships in droves want more dock to carry more ships.

[dense wing]

ahh my mother uses a phone case like that too

[warm bluff]

i've managed to keep up with dock space just by google rewards alone

[ornate mantle]

So yeah, there is a huge appeal to collecting.

But hey, everything has their own mindset... and it's ever changing.

[dense wing]

I am 100% fine with not having enough dock space to carry all my ships

[ornate mantle]

I'm gonna head off to bed.

[flat palm]

Im gonna do 2 special multi today and hope i get i19 so i can buy her skin too

I19 is my fav sub

[dense wing]

cause in the end, I'd still scrap them

[cosmic pier]

that would require me to have a functional credit card n all rite

or sth

idk last time I tried that thingie

it was blocked in my country

like 99% of the rest of the internet

[dense wing]

china?

[cosmic pier]

no lel

Iran

[verbal obsidian]

XD

[dense wing]

ah

[cosmic pier]

1$ here is like 120k of my currency (it keeps increasing and sometimes coming lower down n stuff lul) and since I cant even use it directly for online transactions and have to use third party sites, gotta do even additional charges for a single purchase from sites outside here

pretty comfortable life

[vital edge]

So one more hour

[dense wing]

yes!

[vital edge]

Hoh boi

Guess it's almost time for my short break

Just gotta weather out the Kizuna event

[cosmic pier]

1 more hour

more like 11 more

[vital edge]

I was talking about time left before my commissions are inaccessible

yeah, none if my commissions will make it in time before maint

they're all an hour away and there's just 50 min left

[flat palm]

I have classes until 3hours left of maint so uh

Gotta find something to do for 3 hours i guess

[tranquil sequoia]

10 hrs mainte

[pallid rose]

I can't nmake it

Nagato

warsespotktpodskhpds

[cosmic pier]

nickname failed

[pallid rose]

Can you get cubes in hard mode or not?

[flat palm]

Sucks, atleast there’s the nagato rerun later on

I think ykkz will never return to an event prob

[pallid rose]

I don't mind

A;ready have her

Just need Nagato

[cosmic pier]

yey those 2 are at 105 too

just to get sirius there

[dim crystal]

[flat palm]

Incredi has a crush on restart

[stuck copper]

well, he first helped me back then when I had some problem with my purchasing

[dense wing]

[stuck copper]

so maybe he would be the one I call upon if something happened

[dense wing]

ah yeah

you were in #tech-support werent you

[stuck copper]

long long long time ago

maybe September last year (fkc)

[dense wing]

now I know why you look familiar

your name does

or maybe ive just been lurking here for so long

maybe a little of both

[flat palm]

I feel like alot of people lurk here but normally its only like 7-8 people who talk regularely

[stuck copper]

I used this pfp back then

but then, I didn't think I saw you there last year

[dense wing]

I was there

[stuck copper]

huh...

[dense wing]

idk exactly what time I was there

[stuck copper]

so between you and Restart, who is the senpai?

[flat palm]

Kawa memory - 100

[dense wing]

but I think I was one of the 3 people who were in that channel helping

and it expanded a little

oh I have awful memory indeed

[stuck copper]

🤔

incred memory loss - 100

[dense wing]

there was restart, lightfire, and ender a little later on, and I

[stuck copper]

I know Ender, but mostly on #gameplay-help

[dense wing]

toaster strudel is the most recent

with flyflu in between

yes ender is mainly in #gameplay-help now than #tech-support !

[stuck copper]

and I had some duels with Rei, whenever he greeted me back then with "General Incredibilis" insert hypeturion face here

[dense wing]

[cosmic pier]

[steep scarab]

inb4 he mostly took my post as helper now when he’s around

[stuck copper]

[flat palm]

Poot buys too many skins in AL

[cosmic pier]

poot rich boi

[stuck copper]

I think most mods play on Avrora, but so far, only Restart, Synd and pootatoast visit her frequently

[dense wing]

I can buy skins

I have a lot of gems..

[flat palm]

Isn’t ender on avrora too

And syanda

[stuck copper]

Ender hasn't been here lately

[steep scarab]

[cosmic pier]

[dense wing]

you scare ender

[dim crystal]

[flat palm]

Wait actually poot, how do u navigate jp client

[stuck copper]

not me, it's Rei

[flat palm]

Do you know Japanese

[cosmic pier]

its easy to navigate jp tho

[steep scarab]

@flat palm via pictures

And google translate

[dense wing]

its literally the same

[steep scarab]

In fact

[dense wing]

well

[flat palm]

I guess it’s easier if you can play on emulator

[stuck copper]

I can only read hiragana, I am almost blind to katakana

[steep scarab]

I played jp first than en

[dense wing]

there are obviously different UIs

[steep scarab]

more than a year

[flat palm]

I’m iOS so can only use phone

[dense wing]

but

[steep scarab]

I play on my iPad

[dense wing]

me too itsfish

with thr JP thing

[steep scarab]

Tho originally i play it on my phone

[stuck copper]

btw, who is itsfish?

[dense wing]

I just use a dictionary to navigate jp

itsfish

[stuck copper]

so kawa, do, or did you learn Japanese?

[dense wing]

do!

[stuck copper]

which "N" are you in now?

[dense wing]

N?

[stuck copper]

N5 to N1

[dense wing]

[stuck copper]

well, maybe from what I know, N5 is beginner, N4 is intermediate, N3 is advance, N2 is expert, and N1 is specialist

[dense wing]

ahh

probably N4

I cant really get to N3 without a good vocabulary

[cosmic pier]

the buttons do have english subtitles here and ther edont they

[dense wing]

and I dont have a good vocabulary at all

just the main menu

[flat palm]

I practice japanese everyday by talking to japanese friends

[dense wing]

its still easy to navigate because they have icons

[steep scarab]

you just have to trial and error it

[dense wing]

yeah!

I dont even read them anymore lol

[cosmic pier]

just play on en beforehand so you can play with muscle memory

[dense wing]

its just muscle memory now

lol

[cosmic pier]

that's what I do

[dense wing]

EN messed me up

[flat palm]

They usually talk english to me and help me with easy jp stuff

[dense wing]

I kept pressing the wrong buttons

[steep scarab]

or using my phone as google translate

[stuck copper]

well, so, how do I say this in Japanese:

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

[dense wing]

are you trying to make a bio?

[stuck copper]

yes, sort of

[dense wing]

I can only read it, not vocab or grammar (not good grammar at least)

[steep scarab]

im tempted

[dense wing]

google might be smarter than me with that one

[stuck copper]

Japanese often omits subject so it is hard to tell if Google was right

[dense wing]

it looks right but

regardless

you dont need to communicate to play!

my bio literally just says "enterprise is the best"

[flat palm]

My mmo has auto translation in chat so its easier to communicate with jp

I have several jp friends; their so nice over there

[dense wing]

nice but I like

american freedom of speech

🦅

[stuck copper]

where are you from Kawa?

[flat palm]

Idk why, i havent done anything to deserve any respect but japanese people are super nice

[steep scarab]

[dense wing]

north west america!

[stuck copper]

Montana?

[dense wing]

more west than that

[stuck copper]

Seattle then

[dense wing]

close enough

[flat palm]

Seattle, home of starbucks

[dense wing]

I do love that city though

[flat palm]

[stuck copper]

Seattle is a city or a state?

if it is a state why there is a cruiser named Seattle?

[dense wing]

I went there for something with my family, and it was the day before my birthday, so I ended up going to a mmo's HQ and I got free stuff!

itsa city

why is thre a cruiser named san diego if san diego is a city

[stuck copper]

oops, it's in Washington state

[dense wing]

yes!

also Portland

is a city

[flat palm]

We need a ship called new jersey

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

[cosmic pier]

@dense wing basically a quick opening song just showing the kizunas lol

[dense wing]

oh.......

[cosmic pier]

kizuna gettin so much love from the devs lel

[stuck copper]

I am not too fond of Kizuna btw

but let's see if she is worth getting this time

or I'll just focus on Manjuu Operation

[cosmic pier]

I watched that AL ad of hers and then my ears were bleeding blood

after that I was like to anything kizuna related

the bb is being speculated to be good and wash tier n stuff but idc bout those stuff so still hard nope

[dense wing]

I see....

[stuck copper]

"Logged in"

[dense wing]

yes!

[steep scarab]

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

How to say "I was incredibilis" in JP?

insert Rei hypeturion face here

[dense wing]

[stuck copper]

yes, now I am just saddibilis

[steep scarab]

inb4

incredifast

[stuck copper]

slowdibilis 😦

[flat palm]

REEE

Zeppy has same timer as lusty

[cosmic pier]

new hero revealed yesterday can do 200 dmg on his 4th feat, free execution @stuck copper

I mean

[flat palm]

4:05 - hiei-chan
4:30 - zeppy
4:35 - akagi-chan

[cosmic pier]

all timers are troll timers if you aint getting what you want

[stuck copper]

I couldn't care more

I give myself to the fate

[steep scarab]

wew

[cosmic pier]

fate/stay lane

[stuck copper]

didn't even have enough coins to do a 10 ships batch

From just3c:

Kizuna Ai Heavy Cruiser: biggest surprise of all, the first actually good collab ship. She is a heavy cruiser with main gun+1, very tanky with good damage output, similar to Portland Retrofit, which is very good. And she is free from exchange.

Kizuna Ai Carrier: Average carrier, her skill and stats is very similar to Hornet, you can pretty much view them as equal. Usable tier but there are many better carriers than her.

Kizuna Ai Battleship: Another good collab ship, she has timed barrage like Washington. Her skill also gives bonus crit rate and accuracy which is very nice for a battleship. Stats wise she is similar to Rodney which is okay too. Definitely a good ship, if you have no event limited battleship, Kizuna Ai will be amazing for you. (and Kizuna ai BB also have some torpedo stats, which is very helpful for filling event stats requirement)```

well, I'd like to "try" CA Kizuna

[cosmic pier]

3c

[stuck copper]

some references

unless we can examine her directly, I'd like to follow his description to see if any of those Kizunas are worth using

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

an event map dedicated to her?

[cosmic pier]

clearly

they put the en pr budget away for kizuna

[steep scarab]

welp

[stuck copper]

well Ai Battleship is a monster

👀

and... little Hiei is more powerful than Hiei?

shit

those ships are good

[dim crystal]

When will maintenance end?

[vital edge]

Usually earlier than listed but expectedly 7 hours from now

[dim crystal]

Tbh it has been longer and longer

[vital edge]

longer and longer?

last maint ended three hours early

[dim crystal]

From 4>6>8>10

Now

[vital edge]

Well, understandable

it's allowance for organizing content to actually work

you've seen how buggy the game is becoming

[dense wing]

becoming

[vital edge]

it'll only get worse on the developer's end

[dense wing]

was already very buggy from the start

[vital edge]

I doubt the current state is the final form

there's no reason to assume it can't get worse and I pray for the developers' souls

[dense wing]

with some mishaps here and there

and of course we arent in the final form!

we are still in obt afterall

[vital edge]

all these assets being put into the game on a tight year-long schedule must be taking a toll on them

[cosmic pier]

to actually work

[vital edge]

Inb4 24 hour maint

ending 16 hours early

followed by another three 4-hour maintenances

There doesn't seem to be any time given for bug testing

[dense wing]

bug testing is the game

we r in obt

[vital edge]

Sounds about right.

[dense wing]

theres just

a lot of bugs

[vital edge]

When you say obt

[dense wing]

than believable..

[vital edge]

you remind me of Avrora

you know

[dense wing]

[vital edge]

the one we can't get because she was an cbt reward

[dense wing]

she was a cbt reward

[vital edge]

wait shit

there

[dense wing]

yes

[vital edge]

I feel depressed knowing I was aware of cbt but didn't go for it

now I must wait.

[dense wing]

not everyone got into it anyways

I got 2

[vital edge]

I could've tried, so I have no excuse

[dense wing]

fair enough

[stuck copper]

I didn't know about the game before hand

I only heard it in passing

[vital edge]

I heard of it from a rando server that had JP/CN Azur Lane channels

didn't care till after the announcement of EN first week release

[stuck copper]

I heard people talk about it but wasn't too bothered at the time

[vital edge]

You and me both.

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

I play jp so I had known

a headstart

[stuck copper]

[steep scarab]

[stuck copper]

Now I love the game

[tough burrow]

Knew basically nothing of the game, except seeing "art" and hearing it's "new cool gacha on the block"

Decided to join cbt because why not and here I am

[stuck copper]

When you think about it

Most of us basically heard about it

Saw art

Heard it was cool

All just joined

[dense wing]

of course

they pride off their art

[dim crystal]

Profit

[dense wing]

I saw kisaragi 3d model

[steep scarab]

[dense wing]

and went on a hunt

for her origins

[stuck copper]

Like for me

[dense wing]

didnt find it

[stuck copper]

If I recall

[dense wing]

but

my partner sent me a drawinf of unicorn

and I looked for her origins

[stuck copper]

It was akagi, kaga and eugen art that got me into it

[dense wing]

and that was when

I began azur lane

when I saw unicorn’s cheongsam skin

the big 3

[stuck copper]

Those got me into it

But I stayed for the other arts

Ironically

I mean

I literally haven't even used the Akaga sisters

[dense wing]

I havent either

[stuck copper]

Currently I've used mostly USS and HMS

I plan to level up KMS later

[dense wing]

ah

I use mainly uss and kms

and ijn

[stuck copper]

Main reason for no KMS for me is because I'm waiting till we get more botes

[cosmic pier]

my kms croozers are waiting for roon to get above 100

[lone sinew]

that emote haunts me

[pallid rose]

Sorry intern-kun, I failed you @frosty tapir

[cosmic pier]

@lone sinew why

[dense wing]

theres cursed main menu singing now

[cosmic pier]

fuck

[dense wing]

way too much kizuna for me goodbye
