and you can't do anything about it cause guess what, limited 
manjuu*
Thank god AL doesnt do any of that IV nonsense
probably manjuu, yes
is there another event or are these going to be another bullshit limited gacha CNY flashback again
limited construction from the look of things
you thought this was a casual game, but it's me, gacha hell machine!
used to play a gacha game where whenever they did a new summoning event there were milestones like if you popped 500-600 summons you'd get the event's featured heroes for free and it was quite nice as for a failsafe
except it was my first gacha and I didnt know resource management at gachas all lel
it also had 50 hero slots at start and I cheaped out and only upgraded to 70 slots and lived with that 
honestly it's a shame most games dont do those failsafes
AL p generous with the starting 150s
as bad as I think GBF is with the spending and the rate ups
at least there's the spark mechanic
so you know at some point you're just guaranteed to get what you want
There was a feedback on #game-feedback that suggests the failsafe construction
and you can get that just by saving up shit
- Guaranteed pull of high rarity ships after certain amount of pulls. Guaranteed event ships after bigger amount of pulls. That would motivate people to actually spend more if they can know for sure they'll get something if they roll enough instead of praying to RNG. Also ca...
26
OBT, High Priority
actually
they could do something with that as well as wishing well
instead of a flat rate up, make it so that the rate up increases with each roll
Wishing well
Bullshit
All my cubes are focusing on Bismarck that I barely had any cubes for that

I couldn't even pick any ships in wishing well that I didnt have
cause subs werent allowed

yeah. that kinda sucked.
but it was meant as a catch-up mechanic for newer players, so whatever...
I made a point back then how EN got shafted on the wishing well deal
cause other servers only missed out on login rewards and guaranteed event reward ships
we meanwhile lost out on like 9 ships that you can only get by rolling for
Was there a backlash on that mechanics aquan?
i think they should add a banner that is exclusive to new players. said banner should contain key units, or limited ships that are otherwise unavailable.
its existence was the backlash lel
I would've loved to at least hear from the devs what their philosophy was there
not permanently, mind you
just until your account is a couple weeks old, so you can get a shot at that stuff
might encourage early spending as well
keep rerolling and you'll never have everything you want
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
hey they updated lexington's medal exchange with grenville
she appeared a grand 2 times there


you can also keep it locked until x days have passed to make rerolling less appealing
i just think the longer we go on, the harder it will become for new players to join and stay
so just throw them a bone
New players are basically underpowered at this point
I mean, I can't even imagine rerolling at this point
I mean, anyone will end up underpowered per se, if they missed out on the limited events
at least until the rerun happens
but considering we didnt use to have 2-3 limited builds going one after another
it's easy to fall into that newbie trap
of wanting the new stuff
New players basically: yay we need some CVs to carry us through early game
AL: event after event without a CV
14 peeps cool
well, there's plenty of good CVs that dont need events to get
unicorn yorktown etc
all the staples are unlimited
fortunately
They couldn't even take on that Glorious event due to ambush + no danger level mechanics
yeah, as far as CVs go, almost all of them are regular construction
as well as medal exchange
akagi, kaga, unicorn, shouhou
maybe yorktown
no idea

Essex
you think PVP, it's akagas and Hiryuu
Is limited
all drops
As well as Taihou
Enty, regular construction, medal exchange
ew taihoe
oh yea Essex
still better than BBs, most of which are limited
the annoying thing is, you can barely voice any concerns, cause it gets immediately shunned as being entitled or complaining
because god forbid someone might be critical because they are genuinely concerned about the the direction the game's taking 
arizona is a pretty good bb and she's not limited btw 
(i think, never used her myself)
such great advertising
What's this about CVs
if people go at me like that, i just ignore them, since it's nothing of value anyway
I like Arizona, but she has one massive problem that's kinda deal breaking
her heal is random chance

give her a retro that changes the heal to proc every salvo
heals on attack is why Shouhou and Unicorn are considered better at healing than repair ships
not to mention screen wipe
and being able to fine-tune the heals with cooldown reduction
I despise Akashi
I like Akashi, but Vestal's the superior repair ship for me 
mama nun > banker cat
cat > random thotnun
It is just like saying a gun is weaker than a nuclear bomb
oof
Alec is meme
I joined once and left immediately
Just give Arizona the confetti gun
it's not just the damage, lila. her health is low as well.

/wiki Arizona
she's good for low-level budget farming fleets
Just use her in low level budget farming fleets then

At 6116 she is not too low for me
or use zombies
Unless you are using Hood as a point to compare
I wanna say my Eugen has more HP but she's slightly over level 100 so idk
again, tirpitz. 1500 more

They should have considered grouping BB and BC as one in event map
Some valuable ships like Amagi or Hood didn't have chance to shine
i'm not saying arizona is bad, or that you shouldn't use her. mine is at 110. she is useful. she just can't compete with top-of-the-line BBs.
but she does fill a spot only she can fill: the healer BB
that makes her valuable
You don't use Arizona for raw firepower 
Nor use her as a dedicated healer
problem is, like I said, her healer role is superficially gimped because of the randomness factor
She is something in between
Just use a dedicated FP and healer bote
Ez
Yeah, I would take her skill to heal 8% or even 6% on proc
Rather than current state
10%
Higher than Shouhou and Unicorn
she is the only option if you want a solo flag that can heal and kill bombing boats
meanwhile Uni and Shouhou have 8%
and they get to clear out the projectiles
and it procs every time they launch
2% extra heal for half the chance to proc is hardly justifiable
yup
so again, there's just so many limiters
that prevent her from being genuinely great
Just use houshou w/ uni or shou
hoe shoe
Houshou
shoe hoe
where's muh fucking firepower stat on houshou


Nonexistant
you mean taigei
Houshou is a shame

give her a retro already, so you can add firepower to her
Cost more than Shouhou and less useful?
arizona can do a lot, but she doesn't excell at anything
and that's precisely the issue with her
she's a jack of all trades, master of none
meanwhile, most fleets are built around specialists
you have a dedicated damage dealer, dedicated buffer, dedicated tank, dedicated healer
well, she's useful if you want to get something done with very few units
hecc some of them boats
definitely a great beginner unit
excell in multiple roles at once

Nagato has big dmg with her barrage
on top of buffing the fk out of everything
yeah, but nagato is limited, and i think we were discussing good, non-limited BBs
in terms of non-limited, well
my bad, i guess
QE has the buffs and the cl guns, but her damage is so-so
Hood doesnt have CL guns but she makes up for it with the barrage
you need to invest in an entire fleet to make QE good
but hood is a bc
that's kinda eh
Good non-limited BBs are rare
that was my original statement, yes. that's why we need more good ones.
some people I know also praise nelson and rodney quite a bit but I never got those past 70 for mlb either


also, my Nelson is 120 
I'll stand by her regardless how much people claim her to be a newbie trap
i think anything works, as long as you don't go low-cost
if you go 1:1, you have a direct comparison, because every ship matters that much more
even with low-cost, there are solid picks
but in 2:2, 3:1, 1:3 anything should work
more more prominent than others
the difficulty isn't really the issue here
rather, how much oil you end up spending
which let's be fair, you need it for the grind
Bismarck gunboat cruiser in disguise lmao
Chinaboats
They require an extreme backline
They require a backline that is capable of clearing even 100+ HP bars in 1-2 barrages.
Why do games act like you're a complete fucking baboon
You're... not...?
I downloaded some game I pre registered for and like
It's forced me to do like 8 stages
Yes I can guess what the gigantic fucking button that says "SHOP" does
You don't need me to do 3 stages to tell me what a SHOP is

you say that
but we live in times when a gaming journalist can't figure out a tutorial in Cuphead

speaking of pothead
tbh I think the main reason they force you into those tutorials in the first place
is not even to teach you the game
but to make it more tedious to reroll
why
Imagine
Paying like idk $10 a month to watch Cuphead
It is strange to see they ranked BB Kizuna rather high
At tier 1
When you can pay like $5 on a sale and just play it

@wintry sonnet : No joke that shit makes me laugh my ass of still.
It makes me laugh and then I spiral into disappointment and shame that these people live this profession.
I dont even get the argument that a gaming journalist doesnt have to know how to play games
It's like saying an engineer doesn't need to know math or physics to do their job.
does he have to be pro MLG? no, but he should at least be competent with it
if you're gonna hire a plumber, the bare minimum you'd expect is for himt o understand how to do plumbing

It's like saying a doctor doesn't need to know anatomy, physiology, and toxicology to head a practice.
Lol


I played Euro Truck Simulator
I've played Operation before.
I can do surgery now.
I just wait for the day
when truck-kun becomes an actual character in an isekai
with a voice actor and everything
Make Truck-kun the protagonist
His main attack is a Space Time Punch.

i played shakedown: hawaii. guess what i can do now.
just to go bring back all the shitty isekai protags
MISTAH SHAKEDOWN
I played some
uh
inb4 we get an event at Truk Island
no lets skip that part


how would it float though
No
imma pun your mom
Bad

Truck-kun can do everything
Ur mom gae
he's basically jesus
my mom gae for your mom


This is the big gae.
we need to go deeper


You are
already
no u

'd
Can adult Belfast cry when she is sad?

when you have to add "adult" to Belfast cause people could mistake her for Little Bel

Because little bel can cry



looks like i wasnt the only one thinking that. not sure that's a good thing tho
Don't be a shitkikan
Enterprise knows the pain of losing Yorktown and Hornet

june
oh, it's the monthly one
meh
RR is legit tho
it's basically Road Rash remastered
oh
tldr it's a bike racing game but not with the racing driver types and more like the racist driver types 
is that the one where u can attach cables to other vehicles and john cena them into the ground?
no, that's Just Cause

but there are chains in use
just not on vehicles, but other racers

it's a fun game tho
I was good at the arcadey racing games
ones where you wouldn't do a 360 the second you touch the left turn

arcadey racing games
fuck
im stuck on one in yakuza0 for a challenge from some guy ingame

it makes my eyes bleed 
looks good
I wonder how many bugs did they fix in Kingdom Come if any
might give it another go
now that I have PC that can do more than 10 fps on minimum 
it's a fine colony manager, although a bit too tycoonish to my liking
I like ones where you're more involved in the action, like Rimworld
I don't get it
You're not a bote
did you just assume my structural composition?

it's JB's gun btw
and basically only JB's gun
Which means fuck me, cuz no jean Bart yet
look on the bright side
when we get a rerun you'll have more than 2 ships to roll for

it'll take like 3 years for the rerun but hey
Not fun 
you can have one of my spare 6 JB 
this song is so fitting

@steep scarab 
Wish I could. I’ve got plenty of forbin and le mars lol
I got the bell

wait, what
weren't you farming 138s Aran
how do you not have enough Le Mars dupes
I haven't even finished 2 guns total and I've had so many I could make like 3 mlbs 
I haven't bought it either
oh
gotcha

you're starting to come onto our side then 

but yea it is getting excessive
especially with 1 year anni around the corner
and who knows what, maybe they'll push in a rerun of some event before that
What happens in anniversary
Buncha stuff
new limited builds, some quests
you'll be able to get Avrora, the CBT reward
Do we get Essex class
we should, iirc
I actually dont remember if Essex was part of 1 year anni or just her own thing
wait
fuck
goddamn albacore
No
taihou's boobs are bigger than my head. pass.
I had to blacklist Taihou whenever I search art because she clutters it up so much
And yeah
Balloon tit
i need to save for that
best of all

this Pepega comes up later as a freebie
from an event
so you dont even have to roll for her
there's no bust there tho

actually
she should be coming as a reward on 1 year anni too

oh yea you also get to pick 10 medals
or a dupe sandy/warspite for retrofit if you wanna start saving up for that I guess

dupe warspite sounds like a good idea
oh
cat boxes were a thing for 1st anni
guess we're getting cat academy during this month

Meowficers are companions that you can assign to your fleets in the fleet composition screen. They can strengthen your fleet with "Skills" and "Abilities", to turn the battle in your favor.

there's propably a guide somewhere that tells you how to think advices you on which ones are good and which abilities are worth picking up

Man people are so hypocritical
They say "NTR bad kill all cucks"
But in the rare instance that some lady cucks another girl and takes the guy they're like
Dude this is so hot whoa
Kill all cucks or kill no cucks

of course mate
reverse ntr
There is no "reverse NTR"

cat officers 
its gonna be a whole new meta to get frustrated at
at least they dont seem as annoying to get
1 free box each day, buy another for 1,5k
forgot to tell u
u can't use drills on the boxes
so u have to wait the whole timer


god forbid
You can't drill the box


I cant drill lila
Timer can hit 10 hours

10 !!!!!!!
wtf, lila?
ye
SSRs take 8+ hours
Bro...
i hope akashi shows us about cats nya
btw yama

is there a limit to how many cats you can have
good
lemme fire up my JP instance

oh yeah I have my old phone
I could use that to build more hax

limit is 40
Oh no
What if I get like 40 blue cats only
dont look at my shit cats
so let's say you'll keep a dupe of 2-4 cause they're broken compared to others, that's still plent of room

no limit to how many boxes
ive been in the process of migrating to en
I cant even grind jp as is
hard to grind both
ye
and then you open it to roll the cat itself?
yes
ok, that's not too bad

god JP takes forever to update
it just shifts color but it decides early asf

by which mean the ones they can learn
same
I should go pay kar chan a visit in GFL
You should give me Kar chan

no
MINE


that was unexpected
NO.

You could've at least gone for Yamatoe



ayanamie 
Oh no
how do i friend someone twice on discord
I accidentally clicked delete when I had my stash selected and it deleted 300 pictures in like 2 seconds

@stuck copper i want to friend you twice


Good thing Android Pie finally added a trash bin in Gallery

recycle bin
bless

WTF IM UR ONLY FOLOOWER

I only made the Twitter so I could do the IF giveaway lmao
And for game news


well

good nigtht
Nighty night
Goodie bag giveaway in 3 days 
hype
Correct me if I’m wrong but
Did they remove the ability to leave a guild
during the UI update

no
how do you do it then
god they look horrible in the preview
oh ffs it’s “Disband”
I thought disband was greyed out because it’s reserved for owner obviously


ew that font 

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

are you 
so today's the last day of the event, right?
it's tomorrow

5 away from having 3 138s 
almost out of oil too, gonna have to open up the tutorial mission reserve
im glad yama
that samsung font is sooooooooo cancer
quan how r u so unlucky
i finished mine last thurs lol

i was under the impression he was an op farmer
why doesn't poi drop
rgh
Because you shit talked Choco Cooky
I use it and I got Poi in 4 runs


who?

Same
ya

I feel so dead
We need more red to make things go fastah

bring on that one farming tool which had an association on the color "red"!
It needs more dakka too
well, my farming fleet's dying from low morale
my oil's almost gone
and I'm still missing 4 prints 
time to open up the reserves
How much work do they have to do in order to get a bad mood lol
well it's not that high of a difference anyway
1st floor regens 40 morale per hour
2nd one 50
you spend 2 morale for each battle
and they went from 150 to now below 40 over the last 2-3 hours
so roughly over 130 battles
I can't wait for when the event's over so I can actually play another game 
You have AL
I have 6666

So wait, there’s still 24 hours left to the current limited build pool right?
Should be
Okay cool, I don’t wanna waste any more cubes for the day if I can wait until tomorrow. Last minute JB farming 
Event ends tomorrow yall.
i bet you all didnt know but event ends today

its already tomorrow in my timezone btw

still need 4 prints, meanwhile oil's at single digit 
got 2k oil sitting in the tutorial missions, so hopefully it'll pay off
F
I just want JB to drop from builds please. Well, time to sleep
Adios
Good luck on your prints!

Why is Nagato so cute
Why is Nagato so hot 
same here, but 3 prints
Final battle
I have to cut down my fleet due to oil constraints.
And I don't like it
yeah, I came to conclusion after this event that I need to invest in Oklahoma or Nevada
together with Cassin I could lower my 1:1 to 19 oil
Things would have worked out just fine, had I not been cursed for two whole days.
last 2 days my prints picked up, but until that happened, I struggled to finish even 1 gun
that said since I switched to doing only sirens on D2
I noticed just how bad the drops are 
1/3 of the battles you just get effectively no drops
I need 2 Quad gun prints

But luckily they drop from Research unlike certain things


I mean an Izumo would be better but I aint complaining
Can always end up getting Izzi from it anyway
uhh guys
anyone knows how much is the exp on each battle on D3 (large node)? so i can replace my normal xp farming point xd
bruhhh that's big
what are the average enemy levels on that one again? 100?
sirens kick it up a notch
Oh yea
If you are using a normal Flagship they will get POUNDED
mainly because all the sirens have AP guns
oof..
#IzumoCult 
I'm going to play it the touhou way then 
Or just use Izumo, she takes like 1/5th of her HP as damage by the end of the 6 clears needed for boss

bruh i am still at the phase of first pr grind, and that is not even izumo
right. i got a 120 monarch 
also pfff caring bout what ammo type your enemies use
Imagine having Monarch
hides my Monarch under the table
just beat em up lul
that's why i'm gonna leave my confort zone and go for the hardest event stage out there for the xp
120 what
D3 looks decent tho
eh, it's decent
but then again, i am most likely will stay at 7-4 just because my weak farming fleet can drown all 14 of the normal enemy nodes there without much trouble xd
Rest in Piece Kizuna AI SP4
you do event maps for points and drops, but the exp is okay. i raised a bunch of ships on d2
The Best event XP we have ever gotten
wow i forgot sp4 lol
SP4 was fucking OP
yeah, kizuna was pretty damn nice
It was like 24k XP per run
this event is the first time i am attempting hard mode, rip
wow, and that's per 1 ship on a full run?
It was how much my backline would get per run of SP4 back on Izumo grind
PR exp
okay that's good, but not as much as i thought xd
it was pretty fucking easy
I mean it was 1% per run for the 2 mil
Every 5th run was an extra 1% as well
It was great
ik lol
but still, hmm i guess story stages are still king
CHAT
BACK TO BACK 30 MIN PROJECTS
First was Ibuki
I said Izumo would be better
30 MINUTE IZUMO PROJECT


any whales here?
not whaling this month
maybe i should have bought a license for some juicy extra oil
as in for the whole game
Ah

Let's be honest
And then stuff in between
I could probably buy a car for how much I've spent


i counted a few weeks back and it was ~1.1k
google play keeps track. bring a calculator.
it won't be a good car but still a car
I don't even want to check
anyone wanna join my whale guild 

just stack 3m smh 
I didn't use her
I was leveling other stuff
I only just noticed after looking at her
my dork had 3m stacked from farming 11-4
Dork is probably always going to be one of my most used
