i wanna choose light, but denver's the only ship i need
I mean, she’s probably the only one who can get the rate up.
Coins from maintenance 
Oh is Denver not pre-March updates
yea
oh pre march?
Oh well
nvm i dont need any of it then
I guess I’ll do Hatsushimo and Kamikaze then.
can we throw Bismarck into light pool?
nah
well cant get sub or sussex and co 
so it's pretty much useless lol
It’s not useless to me at least
btw, Atago also on heavy pool, right?
she's in heavy
so, Atago is both in Heavy and Special
Atago more like just use Takao

Please make me your property
Please run through me with your spear
Oh yes
Ad profundis me

man, i wanna see koln without her glasses
no 
We already lost glasses girl when vest virginia got remade
stop taking away megane from people
reeeeeee


What about it?


Oh no oh no
oh man..new banner. Not good, I have not recovered enough from last two banners.
I am screwed
hi screwed
@next onyx : Brother, we will endure.
what if the UI update was combined with bismarck patch

pure chaos
20 hours maint

@steep scarab hugs
yikes
let me in meme


wheres my god damn receipt

20 hour maint would call for putting the entire server on lockdown
measles outbreak spread to AL 

has 2 pillowcases coming next week


I'm jealous.
outbreak of measles in one city here in Australia
and i know Merica has an outbreak
epic anti vaxxers
you shoo 

I have 1 pillow case coming in the next week or two

send me pics too!
Did you pin it?
bruh
kek

"SAFE" Ambushed
"SAFE" Ambushed
"SAFE" AMBUSHED
LOL
Proof that I have 0 luck in this game
kek
better hope that changes for this event 




My 12 hour ends 1 hour after maint lol
oof
Bismarck maintenance
I was hoping to be able to grind out Nep while at work
Lil Deutschy growing up
stealing MVP all the time now 
so Neptune will be just in time to benefit from the probably intense grinding of the event
13 Izumo prints left for Dev 20 though which is nice

I only just hit dev 10 for Ibuki, since I split a lot of the wildcard prints off for Nep

Who're you most excited for in this event?

Agree, KGV
Bismarck doesn't resonate that strongly with me
i want KGV to do many things to me
U-556 is pre neat 
Agree
U-556 is cute
she'll do
till U-47
She works hard to get the attention of big bro Bismarck
cute
lol
Any thoughts on what Bismarck's build timer will be ?

I'm guess over 5 hours but before Hood
Yea that's the thing
It would be kinda cheeky if she were in the same timer as Hood though tbh
I could see them doing that
Considering the history
we'll find out with jp 
Bismarck was the largest battleship afloat at the time of her completion, so an extra long timer wouldn't surprise me
extra long like 1:30:00?
KGV

thats great!

420 to join nagoot and trashprise
gay
nice



I just want KGV tbh 


I've got 14k oil
:ChikaWhackTime:
Tbh I hope the event story is like Tirpitz and the rest of the Germans saving Bis from the Sirens
That would be nice
Would be pretty pog
Like Tirpitz gets an emergency transmission and shit
redemption arc
secretary quests 
wasnt that just their sec quests
not story related
it'd be nice if they made us replay tutorial and see hood sink again

5:50 right
DUDE
just waiting for the hood sinking scene in the anime 
Owell my exam is starting now
We aren't getting the Anni 2 skins right ?
Seeya after maint
nein
anni skins not yet
Jp isnt getting them this patch either izumo

Their delayed everywhere
might... have something to do with it not being our anniversary
REEE

They are cn anniv skins
yno
I mean we should be happy, cus we're getting bisko at the same time as cn/jp instead of having to wait for +?years

waiting a while longer for Washington 
Dude I didn't play in FW so I have no ships from it
I want Colorado and West Virginia
The edge lords
just cuz you said that you're gonna get 23849672346 marylands and 0 of those 2 if it gets a rerun

but Maryland is the cooler one 
80% im so close
lol who skipped FW
ok buddy
I farmed for foxes mainly for collection, I don't actually use them often
i used Foxes extensively until I realized
weird flex but ok
hey i literally only need Hood to clear maps
I am now scraping for HMS cruisers to level, I have decided to begin work on Curacoa
stopped using Hood when the sickly fox came 
I overused Amagi to the point where I have decided to give her a break
cute sick fox wife comes around, what're you gonna do
almost at 3mil exp on amagi
gonna have to retire her
Level 110 and 2 million experience accumulated, I can go almost all the way to 120 when it comes out
nighty night
o/

Since I decided to use Curacoa, I looked into the ship's history
- WWI-era light cruiser, converted to AA cruiser around the start of WWII
- Sank when the ocean liner Queen Mary rammed into her. There was a bit of a legal battle over who was responsible and the conclusion was that Curacoa's crew was mostly at fault
- The sinking was kept a secret until after the war
Rip.
It was so secret that nobody knew Curacoa sank
Nobody knows who reported that she sank

I find it funny that after the Titanic sank, Ocean Liners were upgraded to the point one could rip a Submarine in half
Apparently the Olympic was modified to fight in WWI and rammed some subs
And a civilian ship, which also got ripped in half
Seemingly worked since it ripped those Subs in half

Now I need me Olympic. For shots and giggles, ram everything in sight.
Mega Glowworm
The crews of the Curacoa and the Queen Mary basically both thought that they had right of way, despite some early warning signs
Titanic never survived to see WW1
For free
inb4 nothing
Olympic and Britannic did.
Britannic sank tho rip

Are we going to get more WW1 ships?
I dunno
And maybe Polish ships? 
Other ships sunk by derp: Crescent
What happened lol
Rammed accidentally by HMS Calcutta
Afterwards, a second Crescent was built to the C-class specification
Why does this seem to happen often with European ships?

I'm sorry what
My brain functions with at least some perfectly structured grammar from the tea ape language.

It also explains her low luck stat
Luck factors into crit chance and accuracy
Crit chance and evasion
The worse your luck, the more likely you are to get hit
Both are affected by luck afaik
Oof.
Reason why not to solo low numbered luck ships
Make a low luck team and name it RNG Hell
lick ships

I mean
Phat thumbs okay

Amagi got the sick points
makes her op
In general, luck stats seem to be influenced by IRL circumstances:
- Amagi: 23 luck, got killed by an earthquake before being completed
- Curacoa: 24 luck, got rammed by derp
- Crescent: 35 luck, got rammed by derp
- Laffey: 18 luck, ended up being surrounded and destroyed
- Enterprise: 93 luck, survived the war and also a lot of bullshit that should have killed her
- Yukikaze: 93 luck, one of the few Japanese DDs to survive the war, and often the only survivor of many engagements
wishing well is for newer players and non whales 
Erebus has 93 luck doesn't she
Erebus has 91 luck
Close enough
She's the monitor that didn't sink, right?
Yep
Ye
If you survived the war, your luck tends to be higher it seems
If you look at Enterprise's history, it is full of near-misses that, if they had hit, could have ended the ship
Enterprise is seriously lucky
Or rather Vestal was just damned good at her job
making sure she was always repaired enough to sustain enough damage to where she didn't sink
Personally it was all Vestal imo
Vestal was great at her job, as was North Carolina, who provided a lot of the AA
Vestal and NC are the unsung heroes of Enterprise's story
If it had been a less experienced crew maintaining and repairing Enterprise shit woulda gone south
100%
NC was just fantastic at shooting things down from the sky
Tfw I always hear about American and German ships and never about Polish. Sad Soda hours.

hm
Also. Cry deeply.
given the dates n all
you cant pop the rateup shit on subs rite
then its time to do it on sandy


needs more rate
If it was the subs I'd do the wishing well bit, but that might not be the case
you know you wanna pop it on sandy
Not event ships for that too
Oh
Apparently there's a Polish sub that either destroyed or at least damaged 18 ships.
....Help. I want Polish ships. But they'll get bullied by Ironblood.

i'd like some HMAS ships added to HMS one day 

Drinks wine instead
Shropshire was transferred to Australia

i always ignored Vampire i never knew
Still technically HMS though
Nope. HMAS Shropshire
the more you know 
Just like Canada I take it?
wym "just like canada"
do i get arrested by MR Fbi man
and oath her 
How Canadian ships are named I mean
IDK

so anyway yeah, there are at least two HMAS ships in the game, they're just listed as HMS for simplicity
Leander and Achilles were also not HMS at the onset of WWII, they were HMNZS
Yah

Whew.
and also not called Crescent at the onset of WWII


When sold to the Canadian navy, she was renamed Fraser
Comet and Cygnet were also Canadian at the time
and, again, not called Comet or Cygnet
Today you all learned
I see..
eh
@clear gate Thank you Sensei 
Under Canadian service, Cygnet was St. Laurent and Comet was Restigouche
They were all named after Canadian rivers
Oh, pressing help in AL in my emulator causes the thing to freeze. It's probably just me, I know my emulator setup is buggy
Which emu you using?
Android SDK emulator, there aren't many good options here on Linux
Good thing I wrote a script to clean up after the emulator if it exits improperly
I'm kinda glad there was a bit of a breather between events this time.
On laptop I use a different thing called Anbox
seems cn got hit by extended maints
which is even buggier, but also a good bit more efficient, which is nicer for laptops. I'll take the bugs over turning the laptop into a furnace
Anbox is in alpha so it's not unsurprising that it's janky sometimes
Fair.
it's also not an emulator actually, it's just a compatibility layer, which is why it's so much more efficient
I use Nox. Runs fine on a 5 year old Lenovo PC
That's all I can say as I don't use anything else for Android Emus
You're not spoiled for choice here on Linux, I will say that lol
i used to use blustacks but was laggy
no issues with nox
You have only a few options, and even fewer of those are fast enough to be practical
Maint in 4
8 hours till maints begins
I'll be home in about 6. Ah well, more time to mess around in GFL
- Official Google Android emulator is fast, but requires a fair bit of hardware power
- Anbox is very fast and efficient, but new, buggy, and difficult for beginners to use
- You can run Android x86 in a VM, but it's too slow for AL
Interesting.
I don't highly recommend Anbox yet because it's still too immature, but I think conceptually it's the best way to run Android applications on Linux, since it's not even emulating anything
Fair.
Android is a Linux-based OS, so all you have to do is provide the necessary libraries to make Android apps run
and then you can use the native OS to handle the rest
Other than that I have ePSXe and PCSX2
Congrats
Yup same


Also, Google Android emu is better on Linux than it is on Windows, as it's faster and supports more hardware. On Windows, you have to have an Intel CPU as the Windows version only supports Intel's virtualization extensions. The Linux version also supports AMD CPUs, so you're not locked into one CPU vendor
so it's easier to recommend here
It's apparently really bad on Windows/AMD
Why this is the situation, I don't know

A lot of people since 2017
Not a Linux master, so I wouldn't know where to start
¯_(ツ)_/¯



Intel has been worse value imo ever since AMD's Ryzen lineup arrived
Legit cannot remember shit other than I failed maths and chemistry and retook a whole year.
Also the world's fastest supercomputer will use AMD CPUs and GPUs. Take that Intel 🦊

Nah Intel is still all over the place, they're not going anywhere anytime soon
👀
Neato
It's just good to see AMD being competitive again for the first time in... quite a while
hsugf do you ever think that becomes spammy after awhile?
i'm still using my i5 2500k lul
~~its almost all u use
~~
2500K is finally at the point where it's starting to slope off because it doesn't have the AVX instructions of newer CPUs, which some of the latest games are beginning to use
It's a legend, but its time is coming

o hey
Slowly but surely

its a wild ciryes

and time to upgrade will come
Also, the patches that have been applied in recent years to address the 2500K's security vulnerabilities have taken their toll
@cosmic pier try another world line
Welp now that its maintenance the lurkers are going to swarm 
We're also at the point where 4 cores actually struggles to do the latest AAA titles - because CPU cores aren't getting much faster, the main way to go from here is to use multicore performance
So the latest games use more than 4 threads
How dare you
Izumo in 2019 
Unpopular opinion, the prequels aren't as bad as many people say imo
Well its better than the sequel
They're not... great, but you can name a lot of crap that's worse
Thats for sure
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Please dont repeat that sentence ever again
Ep 7 wasn't that good though
It was alright
I think several of the things that weren't great about 8 are just a direct result of the stuff that 7 set up, and so it's harder for me to fault 8 for them
Star Trek was better

Star Trek's cool, I haven't watched much of it though tbh
I've been meaning to get into it
I loved it when Frodo summoned his blue eyes white dragon and beat Goku and his brother Saitama became Hokage
I prefer 8 over 7
7 was basically 4 with a funny ex-stormtrooper and a wannabe sith
I personally just fail to see where a lot of the hate for the sequels comes from. Sure some of it's justified, but I feel like it's way overblown and a lot of people just jumped on the bandwagon
Legends has a lot of cool stuff, but it can also be messy since there are so many authors and whatnot
Kotor is my favourite
I really need to get into kotor sometime
It's got a great story imo
Yeeee
Nah, the sequels are flat out....weird
I'm just here like Pog more Star Wars, I've never been like Oh 'x' is worse than 'y'
Like, I get TFA. Sure, they went for the nostalgia factor and they wanted to introduce the new characters. But they junked all the extended universe without properly establishing a decent premise for ep 7
Like the entire Resistance/First Order dynamic...makes little sense
Then Last Jedi was just flat out contrived.
Like, physically painful to watch
Like, I get that the Resistance is basically Leia's private army at that point and not exactly well-equipped. But sending Poe alone against the FO fleet was just too much of a stretch, and then following it up with fucking close in level bombers in space made the earlier bit seem believable.
Then the entire pursuit subplot where the first order could have simply hypered out in front of the resistance ships and pincered them but somehow just decided not to fucking do anything and commit to a stern chase.
And this concludes Syanda's TED talk, thank you for tuning in
where did you get that?
Datamined skills

Tirpitz self buff is 30%
Bis' buff is 40%
IF this is the actual skill then it will be better to run them together than Tirp Solo
or Bis solo
Although you can run Bis solo, you will only be losing out on the buff to Tirpitz

KGV
Looking swole
Basically a PoW
That's god tier

If this is right though good lord
now I wanna eat sardines
Getting some dope as botes
These could all be bullshit, but tbh alot of them seem too specific to be bullshit
This sounds legit though
With Koln having choppers
Since people noted about choppers being added
So Koln will be the best antisub cruiser I guess

pff all the boss subs are ded by the 10 second mark anyway

WITH the Quad gun
New PvP goddess? 🤔
You'd be using the quad
It will also have lower Dispersion

Yeah but nobody cares since most of your damage is probably from barrage
Main Gun Dispersion down with quad gun is insane
Because of her skill
So she'd be doing more damage than most standard BB's anyway
- higher crit rate
Not gonna lie
When I read
"Sardina"
I laughed
Bis giving 40% for tirp though
Definitely 100% awesome
I hope these are true though
Oh yea for sure
They seem solid
like saltbae amounts of salt
they are just pulling shit from thin air as usual
MEMES
Really dogshit outside of like
Things like jean
Which is quite sad
That's what happens though when you have 406mm which is borked as hell
Yea I've seen my Dork crit for like 8k on her first Volley with the 406
Its fucked
Yeah too much power for what it does
Per shell no less not even the total for the volley
That unless you break another gun
Or use skills like jeans
Everything else just ends up paling
Yea same now
But originally I was using purp 410's on everyone
I can see that being a legit skill
It's the gun it used and the name sake of said KGV class
Makes sense to make it more powerful with it
Honestly if Bis' skills are legit I am just super happy they are taking the time to make Tirpitz still relevant
As well as Zep
Yeah tirp being unable to be used with her sister

Imagine if they don't have the buff to Tirpz damage and she just falls even further in to power creep hell
volley is just the shit you shoot
you said barrage 
That'd be very sad existence Izu
Tbf though I do find it odd
Why not just make her shoot instantly like jean
As it stands Tirp is still strong but look at Dork and Nugget and Amagi
They are just better
and it makes me sad
Power creep is big
Tirp was always good though
The issue was lack of other botes
That weren't BB / BC
So it just made her nigh useless in most comps
Outside of being super niche
We now have a million different BB's and BC's to choose from
and still you're mostly gonna just use tirp on her own and solo if you're bored of using amagi or something unless if you just wanna use tirpmarck for the sake of using it

Yeah pretty much
I mean I still use Tirp
I have to say though
Daily
I was just speaking in terms of the general consensus
I'm just like PLEASE BE REAL
Would be probably the one of the best if not the best for mobbing fleets
Since the damage loss would be negligible if there is any at all
By the looks of it yea
Ooohhh
for the first time, JP login is now L2d
new loading screen
That's cool

So far it looks like Bis and Tirp gonna be new meta
Actually I'd wager that KGV
so is graf
My Tirp is fully maxed
But Graf is lacking a bit of love
She's 100 and Oathed
but nothing more
well i got l2d for both of them

Same
WAIT, PoW, DORK AND KGV
I have been waiting for a chance to kick QE
Just go full KGV class
finally
Nah
KGV is the real Monarch 
Ironic really
and yea, monarch is rejected kgv design
and you gotta let me say the line
IRONIC

Monarch was not good enough to be the real KGV but KGV was good enough to be the real Monarch
I just knew it

that bismarck would have something to buff tirpitz
looks like
and 
That's IF its true
Looks more like Koln to me
koln likely too yeah

hmm
Gneisnau or Koln for left imo since they are the only 2 German girls with Glasses
Zepp or Spee?
I have both married 
Mostly IJN and KMS for me
eldr
wasd
dunno why but i really like to manual sodak with the x2 procs

cant wait for the shells
Clevebro,Washington,SD, Enterprise, Monty 
krunchy roll


I'm in a half empty IT class doing coursework

Its great.
I ran out of hazelnut lattes though
Im cooking

Mixing spices is part of the fun
I don't cook often but when I do I just throw spices together until it tastes good
then I add more





Is that including her self buff
You're looking
is this the arrival of kms meta???
At around 418 with 200 oath and gear equipped


Essentially yeah lol
JFC
Just run triple KGV with Cleveland
Like most skills do
INFINITE AA


Triple KGV Class, Sandy, Cleveland and Monty
anyone got the cursed hamm gifmote 

holy, that event music tho
Triple USS Gunbotes buffs PoW, 3 HMS BB's proc KGV buff and Dork exists to wreck house with her sisters
Sounds like a decent meme to me
Time to invest in my PoW
my pow not even lvl 70 pepehand
Mine is 70 0 LB
Mine is close to mlbed, but I did that to Dork though

I mean its just for the meme, PoW still isn't good 
PoW is under 90 for me
