tempted to just go after the elites and give up on boss entirely
That's why I'm doing now... only tackling siren nodes.
did you manage to get a 1:1 setup to work?
Unfortunately not... I'm using this to also farm PR EXP... doing a 2:3 set up.
ah
Might knock it down to a 1:3 right now though.
Not really using the other fleet.
So i can just stack all the req there.
best I managed was a 1:1 with Jean bart and fortune. but it didnt really work well for auto
she gets smelted too fast
Ah, that's weird... is Fortunes Luck stat good?
I know her EVA is amazing.
240+ sth like that
Yeah, but her luck... is Fortune's Luck low, LMAO.
68
cyg's like lvl 90
Oof.
if only my yoshimaru didnt suck ass
I might try a shoukaku + st louis 1:1 and see how that works out
but goddamn getting 1k evasion is so dumb
esp when 2nd fleet has a double CL req
Yeah 1K evasion is kinda wack.
That double CL req is what annoyed me the most.
1K evasion makes Destroyed a necessity
And I don't wanna use my IB CLs.
not sure if I just didnt level up the right CLs or what, but the highest evasion I have on my CLs are Isuzu and Yuubari at like 110
Hmmm dunno.
I only need 5 more runs and Neptune is mine.
I'm using Belfast and Helena.

ah, but Emile's got higher eva at 120
not by much, the best you can get on a CL natively is still only 117
I'm sad CA's don't have high Eva.
funny thing that, actually
york retro at 120 is 92 eva
followed by ibuki at 86
so they're actually very close in terms of eva to most Cls
as dumb as it may sound
eh zara isn't too bad, le thingy is still worse

eh, I'll need a while to get convinced about zara
She's apparently very good too.
Zara is just pasta Lulu

Formidable is a ship that cost me about $20
But I will oath her nonetheless and love her dearly.

All my girls deserve the best.
Even the ones that make me wanna rethink my spending habits.

Despite me setting my avatar as both Ayanami and Warspite, neither of those two are my favorite.
I just want her retrofit so grandma can kick some butt.
God... to this day two of my favorite skins are Ping and Nings.

Is there a way to see the individual images for that gif?
there is if you have photoshop or gimp

you can look up individual frames then
I got cesare before i had to whale





idk how you can spend money and still like a ship 

@warm bluff : Wouldn't it suck to put in so much effort for a ship just to hate looking at her?



I never got the mentality of "This chick made me go to 0 cubes, I need to dislike her now."

I was always conservative as a kid and in college
Nvr spending and missing out
It feels good to be free honestly
in my case I just need a grief period
to forgive her for making me spend money on the dice rolls
LUL

I remember when Bisko made me drop from 400 to 0 and forced me to spend about 40 more dollars.
And now she's oathed.

I even bought her skin immediately after.
Pulling her.
You wouldn't believe the euphoria I felt.
When I saw that 5:00 timer.
huh, ok, apparently shoukaku solo backline's not doing too bad against lito
Or is she 6:00?
for biscuit?
Yeah.
think she was a 6 hour timer
6:00 right.
Hood is like 5:57 or some shit.
I remember because she spooked me 3 times.

Yeah.
who did you get stuck on
Bismarck.
thought you spent money to get biscuit and then still got spooked by her 3 times when rolling somoene else
which sounded even worse
Definitely not, Bisko was the last one I needed.
And what makes the salt even worse.

Seattle joining the club
depends how you look at it
if you treat each roll individually then yea, sure
if you treat it on a basis of how many cubes you needed to spend, then 40$ was what got you her
The way I see it... I'm just gonna say those $40 were a neccessary sacrifice to show my commitment to Bisko.
When the girl plays hard to get you just flash the cash.

I usually approach this on the basis that each ship will require a specific amount of cubes for me to get her, before RNGesus stops mounting me from behind
I've had this theory in my mind for every gacha.
Where every unit is predetermined to be obtained when you spend [x] cubes.
That number is unique to every player.
I mean it's better than just going with 1,2k cubes for the 2 submarines and just constantly hitting nada all this time 
better for my sanity to just assume I still haven't paid off RNGesus
i dont think it's predetermined simply because it's a lot easier to just program in a random
shh, this is my inner conspiracy theorist going at the helm.
That's what they want you to think.

I'm not saying it's not random, I'm just saying it's less infuriating for me to just assume I haven't spent enough cubes
rather than just throw it all down to something I have 0 control over


Only 1 is +10
rip
btw azu
if you get blocked off from reaching the siren fleet, do you just retreat and redo
or do you still go for the kill
are you guys only fighting siren fleets? 
yea, I only got 1 print proc on boss despite all the oil spent
going for siren I only spend like 24 oil per fight
somebody collected data from it last event and boss has like 3x the chance to drop prints
or something like that idk
doesn't seem to work in my case 
most of my prints were from sirens
same for the french event for that matter
i got most of my prints from the boss in both events
most of my 138mm prints were sirens
sirens were pretty useless for me
I'm missing 4 DD purple Prints.

4 DD purples, and 4 Cruiser Golds.
End then I'm done with Retrofits until the bunnies come.
I'm covered as far as prints are concerned
not so much in regards to coins

too much shit needs coins nowadays
not gonna see the retro art too much anyway
since she'll be in her swimsuit
because uh, reasons
I want Yuudachi's Retrofit already
39% on Roons 2M exp.

Deutschland has gotten every MVP.
General Plates and Cubes in my store.

fml every time
the second shoukaku's airstrike is up, littorio just stops moving right in the place she doesnt get hit by any
reeeeeeee

Deutschland is almost at 1m EXP.

12/15 on the Zara gun.

Every episode I watch of Prism Illya has got me feeling like this is going to happen to me.

azu you're watching prisma illya right now? 

Idk even know what run I'm on.
same
all I know is I've gone about 2/3 of all the old disney movies
as in ones that disney did before they decided to ruin everything with live action shit
I watched both Fate movies.

That’s what I’m talking about.
Taking a break for a dinner myself...
1 print in... well, idk. 1 print today.

i still need to watch the prisma illya movie 
i think so
Oh, Oath Under Snow?
I still haven't watched heaven's feel
i'll watch the prisma illya movie tomorrow i guess 


Hello 
Dayum
The license plate says “Bitch.”
yikes
It's very "interesting"
Her second face lmao

I like how this is less lewd than her base CG
Well...
Goddamn they really are throwing the “Loli Slut” card super hard on Bache.
It's a nice breath of fresh air 
hey man u gotta appeal to all types
She literally has money in her shorts
I may be a degenerate, but this is too much even for me 
LOLOLOLOLOL
Is it L2D 
It's safe 
But still somehow lewder than albacore in my opinion 
Bc this one has a LOT of implication
imma let you finish but her base cg has even more implications
Yeah, it suggesting quite a lot.

Really? I think both are pretty next level.
But this one takes the cake.
bruh

💦


Idk what you’re talking about.


Wtf man.

I have 6 bache.
too bad I'm unlikely to buy it
I'm definitely not buying it
This skin is 100%
Not gonna risk it even if i could afford it

already lost 10$ to get zara, I only have enough cash this month to get 2 skins, maybe 3

Honestly I’m not sure.
and those 2 right now are formi and shouk
Shook
Essex was already announced so yes
Bache even has a tongue piercing.
Wonderful
I'll get it next time it comes up I guess
Those are $100s tucked in her shorts, bache is richer than me
My mind's telling me no


Idek how to respond.
unless there's skins that are non-collab skins that dont return
actually, are there any skins that haven't made a return at some point, safe for stuff like neptunia etc
Uhh
The curry one
wasn't curry one just done this year
Those skins were so cute 
The Saratoga one obviously.
Curry Nimi 
I hope we get Lawson at some point.
I mean those are JP exclusive tho
Actually Lawson was CN only right

Sad
I doubt Lawson would sponsor CN stuff
CN had the, what was it
the thing with the 2 limited ships
Bill bili?
yeah
I want those two as wel
I want nico nico aya

wait what
lawson was CN only?
dafuq
isn't lawson a JP brand?
LUL

Might be mistaking it.
KC constantly does lawson collabs
What’s up with all the Lolis. I’m watching Illya and then Bache gets a biker whore skin.

I don't mind 
Guess they saw her mini art explosion

Bache is gonna be so popular with the artists now
I wonder when people will start making not-Formidable art again


they saw all the edits of bache's skin with stuff like <redacted> and <redacted>

and figured they can make some money off it

which I imagine is the correct assumption
What's the redacted?

< r e d a c t e d. S t a t e m e n t >
go over her announcement tweet on JP twitter and you'll know
other than that I've seen nothing


but yea Tholi is pretty much a perfect summary of her
Thotli
and JP community seems to agree

Damn lolicons
I mean as long as they just make new lolis
and not lolify the adult botes we already have
it's w/e for me

it's fair game
No we need more lolified botes.
no, go away
We really don't
Why take mommy goddesses and make them fuckin children
I’m waiting for Loli Enty.

I also want adult Loli botes
adult unicorn
Unicorn is already an adult 

Disgusting

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
But that not the impression you gave... far from it... we need more of both.

fine
I'll campaign for more of both when we actually get to both
how's that sound


I dont want either of them to be last spot
I just realized there arent any large sleepy botes



at least in KC Kako is the sleepy one, I think AL has it reversed
Yeah. It’s reversed in AL.
Nicholas would actually make sense with a larger bote, she was like the longest serving ship in the USN
dont they only get like a 30% chance skill for double torp

I mean, idc too much about skills... I use them all anyways.
I’d like a Deutschland retrofit at some point.
fair enough, but my point is, other than the art, which I agree is great, their retrofits are kind of unimaginative
Eugen retro pls 
which Is suppose isn't surprising given they're commons
You mean gameplay wise they didn’t really do much to set their retrofits apart from non/retrofits?
not even just that
Or, the art from retrofit isn’t too different from the art non-retrofit?
didnt I say I think the art is actually great on their retros
She doesn't seem sleepy too me 
I’m just trying to comprehend what you mean by them being unimaginative. Not exactly following that line.
their retrofit skill is what I mean
Oh, the one they get.
which unfortunately is a common issue with with common retrofits
You’re saying it’s very basic.
almost always it's just some low-bob common skill with a bad proc rate
Does Ranger get a skill? Idr.
she does
25% chance to deal double dmg for 10 sec
not exactly an exciting skill in it of itself because of how low proc it is, but then again there's a reason she's called RNGer
you wanna proc both that and keep proccing her airstrike cd refresh

I’ve had Ranger proc 3x for me in a row... that’s about as much
As I was able to see for myself.


ok sleep lolicon
inab the loli cop
the kind of cop that raids a crack den then keeps all the crack to himself



I need to sleep 
Yeah, I like to imagine retrofits get skills befitting the effort it took to retrofit them.

Pola is amazing.
pola is a gift from the gods

She's a goddamn gift from god.
Alrghty time to go back to watchin Illya and farming Zara prints I won't get.
she's ok, but I prefer KC Pola in this instance

In all honesty, I don't think I prefer any KC ship over the AL counterpart.
heavy al bias
there's a couple for me, but most of them I like both AL and KC counterparts alike
KC is more Iconic by far, but AL has such a huge advantage with design variety and personality.
if KC got art on similar playing field to AL then we can talk 
This is not to say I hate KC in any way, lol.
iOwA iS oNLy iN kC
imma let you finish but Naganami's old af in KC
unless you're talking her retrofit
carabiniere is cute 
she got a retrofit like, a year ago?
Wtf, somehow she escaped my vision then.
But her retrofit really caught my attention then.
There was one other.
@stuck copper @stuck copper 
well it's a common situation for yuugumo class unfortunately
Could be.
she's not exactly well endowed
Lemme check.
but she is top class
that I can imagine, but yeah Yamakaze is a masterpiece daughteru material
You know how they overexaggerate and stuff.

I had both her and Umikaze ringed for the longest time
hopefully she gets a remodel soon, like Umikaze did
I only played AL to oath Atago. Then when I did it I quit.
KC you mean
also, you didnt miss out much then
Atago and Takao are basically forgotten
since their artist either disappeared or they just dont bother commissioning him at all
Yeah, I saw they still don't have a Kai Ni.
@dense wing step aside
alot of the older ships ended up forgotten sadly
Yue and the Siren girl.
Naisu.
And yeah, KC has really took an interesting turn over time.
I found one guy on Twitch who streams it though.
I still need to do the current event
So i check in every now and then.
for my pasta botes
yea Grecale
A BB.
@ornate mantle you mean best daughteru ever
from the last event
this event had 3 DDs and a CL
ye lolorado was last event

god
Is she not new?
wow ok, you're going hella back in time then
that's like forever ago
LOL
yeah she's like 2 years ago
not 2
Yeah I quit well over 4 years ago iirc.
azu old man
more like last summer
eh
yeah that's how long ago she was added
there was so much shit I forgot when and what got added
she did get some seasonal cgs recently
Just goes to show how disconnected I am with KC, lmao.
Funnily enough I couldn't remember the ship, so I went to Danbooru... and when I was thinking "Let's find her in "KC""... I started typing in azur lane, lmao.
I'm a sort of oldfag, but not the "Played way before arpeggio event" kind
started back when registration lotteru was a thing
started on Winter 2015, when they added U-511
managed to play arpeggio collab
and feel the aids of summer 2015
Yeah exactly.
kek, I grew up in KC learning about the stories of summer 2015
U-511 was one of the ships I wanted on my dream team.
only things i know from kc are people's shittalks, iowa having huge tiddies, and lewds I've seen on danbooru

her tiddies are huge indeed
Indeed they are.
btw, U-511 > ro-500
She's a goddamn gift from god.
no
I have both Yuu and RO
@wintry sonnet Agreed.
my original U-511 is ringed and kept as kai
Yuu is instant "Pledge to Protecc".

which they also did with Luigi Torelli funnily enough
nite gay
I mean I got both Ro and Yuu, but Yuu I hold in much higher regard
right next to Nimu and Hitomi
LUL
and Hachi
too bad they removed the arpeggio ships after collab
I just Naganami and Yamakaze now.
like a bunch of cunts
yeah that event they weren't meant to stay
ye
the only one you kept were the reward ships
What the shit.
Wow.
wait, wasn't Shioi a reward ship from that event
That's a kick to the nuts.
she was
well besides that
She was until she wasn't.
What other collabs has KC had.
yeah that's what I meant, collab content went away, but the reward ships stayed
in terms of actual event only that
arpeggio is the only one to date
other than that it's just skin collabs and shit
LOL
KC is really sticking to their guns in ever respect.
Haruna was the Blonde girl with the big coat right.
I wouldn't mind having Arpeggio's Takao if she was in that event
Arpeggio's Takao is gorgeous.
funny how I like Takao in every game
I actually really like Maya.
I hated KC Takao.
But I liked AL and Arpeggio's Takao.
Holy shit got another print.
13/15

Yeah.

I remember they had kongou and kirishima
Red girl that played on the piano.
oh, carnival dayo
CARNIVAL DAYO
ok I remember her now
Idk if the anime is canon.
But it depressed me.
I don't think it is.
I also like Kongou's makeover.
God makes me wanna read the mango.
Oh, Arpeggio Hiei was also awesome.
btw @stuck copper who were your kc waifus
not cannon @ornate mantle
I think my favorite ship girl at the time of the anime airing was... I-402.
Even though she did jack shit but remain a background chara.
Hmmmm, I wonder if the mango is on MangaRock.
read everything there is about the arpeggio universe
most likely they have it
You're making me wanna dive into it.
I haven't touched Arpeggio in such a long time.

Now I wanna hear Savior of Song again.
mangarock has only a tiny fraction
imagine using a jank looking site that yanks stuff from translators

also
azu so impulsive 
I think Arpeggio was licensed.
I should have like 3-4 volumes of the physical manga.
in arpeggio all capital ships have a split personality with 2 mental models
Oh is that why Kongou got a makeover?
Wtf I didn't know Arpeggio had a movie.
2 movies
What the living fuck.
that follow the events of the anime
I guess I need to watch them now.
I'd have to rewatch the anime to even go with the movies
I have both BDs in hard book copies
I barely remember what happened in the end

So wait.
Does one of the movies begin immediately after the anime conclusion.
ye
Okay, then the other begins after that movies conclusion.
that's adult nep introduction CG in neptunia VII
Isn't that the other Nep.
the bug collector
At AX they showed the first episode of the anime in an 18+ only video showing.
Rather, the new season coming out had it's first episode shown.
Damn good by my watch.
@ornate mantle lemme send u some screencaps from the movies
Goddamn 402 is such a cute.
Wait no spoilers.

But anything design wise yes please.
@stuck copper : How many chapters of arpeggio are there? I'm seeing 109 on Mangarock.
cadenza
Hmmm, where'd you get the chapters?
I have my sources
same way I get raw files for episodes before they air
I managed to get a working one from a friend but it was poor with grammar issues
Also, it's a few years old too isn't it?
I had some friends help me sub it
We're they from [Nep-Blanc]
I mean LN in general.
no
Not specifically referring to an Arpeggio LN.
I'm the only one that did uploading and subbing
since I had the hardware to quickly trascode the raws and subs
Well anyways I guess if I find the manga I have a very long read, especially with the politics that gets thrown into it too
they sent me the .ass files, I muxed them with the raw and spit out 3 versions
480p, 720p and 1080p
Cadzena was a good movie, the other was a boiled down recap movie
.dabooty
@carmine coyote half of it was
@ornate mantle Do you want to see the bunny girl senpai movie with me?

Sure, lol.

Then there was the last 40mins
We need Loli Musashi in AL now
Okay, I need to hop off for now... I've actually been not watching Illya this time we've been chatting to look at arpeggio stuff, XD
She looked cute in Arpeggio as a loli
gooood dammit

it's probably my phone not capable of decoding that
LUL
That's a bad RAW file there if I ever saw one @stuck copper
even doe it's a S10+
more like "can you hide yourself from all this corrosive video"
nah it was fine last time I checked
Looks like the video got corrupted somehow
Bit she's an adorable loli though
angery loli
canonically she's reserved and scheming
like her older sister
rn she's in the Mediterranean sea
coordinating the EU fleet of fog
with bismarck as her 2nd in command
That's the manga right?
Also why does I get the feeling that Bismarck us a blonde of sorts in the manga too?
@carmine coyote no she's a redhead
Even better
Twins are even better I see
basically one is the polar opposite of the other
the smaller one is a complete drunk

nobody can drink her under the table
Our Laffey might

Still is Hood even around in Arpeggio?
think so ye
no actually
but she's mentioned
only repulse and vampire are from HMS
both maid mental models
@carmine coyote @ornate mantle the files are fine
it was plex that was transcoding it very shitty
So it was an encoding issue then huh?

Hwvjhbhmsgjayj
After almost 2 years
Well just technically more than a year
I can finally get nanoda on jp





the fuck
She looks.
