it's a cya thing
in any case then Z23 doesn't matter either
none matter
also idk how you <20s with 1:1 auto
i dun 1:1
nothing matters
i run chaser w/ asw plane too
just let yr dds clear elites and kill boss
what elites 
since elites spawn right into preload torps
you will probably need aa on 13-5
and if it's an issue I'll probably WSret it
in boss node
elites spawn on surface
you can just kill boss
boss dies faster
who needs to worry about anything else when subboss spawns immediately
how? any ASW dmg is same with or without elites
heck you can strip off all guns, torps, planes, and 0 diff except for like chaser skill
this dumb game
's fleet power calcs make no sense
I don't understand what world it lives in where it thinks this backline has the same strength as this frontline
yes so why isn't it lower
also equips matter
lvl 50 doesn't contribute anything
well, it still has stats
it's basically a 2/3 fleet
and some stat have more value i think
well
most of the other ships don't have +10 anything
lol
lol
Basically equip rarity and +lv
then base stats, weighted
then bonus for ship rarity and retrofits
and yeah fleet power is a shitty measure
It's not that kind of game
cause it completely ignores skills and MGM+1 and effs
taiho's power is 4250 and bataan's is 2950
where power rating is a thing for anything
tfw the game thinks a lvl 50 ship is 2/3rds the strength of a lvl 111 ship
Gunboats since they double up on FP take a massive hit since the game ignores that and just sees 0 torp stat
and yeah ignores levels too afaik
asw also taken into account
minus sandy and those bad ijn zuki's

which also gives you hilarious "torpstick on gunboat gives max power"
Bataan has asw
dont all cvls have asw? xD
ye
ah yes the critical ASW for pvp
Bataan has low ASW too
but others are CV there
Fleet power calcs ignore gamemode too
so 0
it's just there for complete newbs


Many devs look at thins differently from players anyway
yeah cuz they don't play their own game
Lke they balance game from other point of difficulty
Nah they don't understand their game
it's not like WG levels of stupidity from them
is made of spaghet
like devs balance game for lvl 30 enemies (like WF) and when u usually play vs lvl 100+ enemies it's totally different matter
EX is a clear indicator imo
massive wild swings in difficulty
aa math fun time
cause devs can't see diff
indicator of what?
yeah also AA is entered too
indicator of what level the devs play at
well, i tell you from 1st hand perspective 
they can't play at level of EX and so don't know how hard each is
all seems the same to them
lul
is my speculation ofc
lmao
I mean how else do you explain Essex then Suruga
or like Ember being a nightmare but Sar being a cakewalk, etc.
trhey don't play their own game? :D
they don't play it like you
na they do, just not at ex
well what they release is pretty well designed on surface
and/or casual level, I think
Seriously though, I've done game balance
they also dont min max probs
so I have real experience with competitive
so waifu fleet is balance
and when game balanced around early lvls, late lvls are fucced up often
And "well designed on the surface but falls apart in the details" is the hallmark of a dev that doesn't play their own game
Yeah devs for sure don't care/know about anywhere near that kind of serious play
and I don't think it falls apart in details for the causal, which is what AL is designed for
well 90% are casuals
what % of this server uses pvp channel?
99% are png collectors
0.005?
even those "serious" are often not in the competitive way
but like in the "oath 50 Clevelands" way
most pvpers dun use this channel lol
oh yeah big whales xD
most players are not in this discord
tbh that's pretty respectable, what is EN playerbase like?
lul
I don't think it would be unreasonable to assume that the subset of discord players that are srs enough to use the pvp channel are a good representation of the overall number of serious pvp players in the game's total population
Do not underestimate the amount of lurkers, even in this pvp channel.
yeah I would include the lurkers
lol
just talking about people that have opted into this channel
what is this fight now
80% of serious pvp players in avrora are in #pvp at least
dunno about other servers

eh nah there's a lot of serious players that ignore ALO
fam here is a lurker
many ppl on Sandy are not here
im a casual ;)
so is others
I'm always "offline" too
and nah it defs hits nowhere near 80%
I'd believe 20% more

qeq
top 10 is 80%
lul
lol
if I get to top 30 with waifu fleet
in this channel
what are you going to say to me
washington
I mean, most ppl who carried suruga are not even pvpers
in wash i dont think so

what's washy equivalent of top 30 in your eyes then peco
lmao I don't believe that
big difference in sandbaggers in wash and avrora
I didn't know there were 20 entire good pvp players
lol
I mean idc about EoS, lol
i just cash in for points always
there only 3
dunno what weird thing u fighting over anyways


I don't even usually break r100 EoS lol
the only hard fights i have in avrora is eos t10
what's eos
how fights can be hard anyway
since by that point I've done like 40 matches at +9/+8


End of Season
u reset?
no benefit to EoS but you do get benefit for matches at AotN
So no-brainer for me
i mean...
whats aotn
highest rank
Admiral of the Fleet
you guys are such fucking nerds
????
that's how little I care about EoS 
i have over 250k merits, i dun care tbh
much less in waifu gacha game
you get 100 for matches in AotN
top 10 matches give +10
vs 90
erm lolwut
I can easily get that many matches in at AotN unless I derp and drop like 5 matches lol
wwhat do you mean by drop
at this point it barely matters anyways
well not 500 but it's like 300 at least
i never use my merits
I thot the big pvp nerds never lose any matches

I'm at, what, 300, or was it 350 now, MLB ships?
ye
but also doesn't include collabs
ah that's less than I remember

huh I'm closeish to MLB all then
at this point it barely matters anyways
and we got many ships last few events
makes sense cause I can't find <lv70 ships now often to run comms with
omg
this is a meme channel anyways
is hosho had actual firepower
then I could put her with bataan

she can equip gun so yes
thats what matters in any pvp channel
and not waste bataan's CV buff
yes she has 0
Zeppy is the one you want for that
zeppy is illegal
lb0 should have fp

Houshou mlb CL gun
hosho retrofit let's go devs
give her a fucking barrage
Zeppy is the one you want for that anyways
zeppy gets RETIRED
Sara doesn't intercept

intercept suiboats
noisy skill spam
oh lul
Zeppy does
did they fix Zeppy bug?
where her barrage launches with lowest FP
but no one cared after
last I heard devs decided it was a bug
ppl here is lazy
didnt even let vh armor be reported properly
i re-reported it again until they put it in known bugs
only medium priority tho
๐ฎ
ppl need to complain more
no1 will look at yr EN report lol
if CN ppl report it...
game feedback not really
actually i got auto sub added to trello
xD
china people dont report
devs can't read EN remember
lower your expectations
China ppl get reported
you should be aware that if its days after maint itself
they still fix bugs
at least vh armor bug
I have no expectations lol
was reported already in jp cn
but we need them to know its also broken here
so we get 3 reports

gotta stack them complaints
vh armor is like
one of the auxes that can spice up pvp
so it needs to get fixed
If u can't even deal w/ wiki admins to add stuff....
what would you even put it on
all the ships that you'd want to put it on can't use it
only if armor + rudder
you know amagi is most of the time prioritized now
cos medium armor
heavy armor will make this spicier
won\t trade rudder for that
and lose acc
not like u can use 2 rudders
huh I could put it on bataan
no
is that a thing
cvls cant use armor
oh for fucks sake
only thicc boats
CB can tho
only the boats that already have heavy armor
all my CVs already have heavy armor
???
amagi doesn't target vg anyway
im pretty sure she does
u mean barrage?
ive seen her barrage shots hit vg
1/100
yeah but no
and not flag too
is my thumb a finger? well no, but yes
anything that amagi hits gets dmged
im pretty sure the thumb is a digit but not a finger
is this game actually rated 12+
Cause that's oath anim
is there a L2D viewer anywhere?
yes
I have no idea what 99% of L2D looks like
pretty sure taiho doesn't have an oath skin
ah
that's exclusive oath thing
ah
pay for lewds


some of these l2ds are so fucking terrible
I don't know how this shit even passes quality control nevermind charging extra for the skin
lul
jesus, it's so frustrating, the way your vg is moving to just catch all the fucking torps
i have more problems catching shelling than torps
well, that too, but it seems it has smth to do with the timing, because right when enemy launches air strikes they just rush toward middle to eat that shit up
or the good ole "lets just pull all the way back before launching torps"
or "let's charge past the main fleet then launch torps"
kek
or the good ole "why shoot at enemy main fleet when you can miss on vanguard?"
see, my problem
is that i should have enough speed
but then they wiggle
in the shell aoe
and im like why
yep
let's play catch!
do you know what al should implement
just record in the screen a pattern
for like 20 seconds
then loop
then record it in settings
there
we have our auto pattern
tho potato devs so it wont happen
id be ok with fixed patterns

that you just equip
they can even sell slots for auto pattern
its a great business idea
if they can program it that is
๐ code
devs
had the gear change to a fixed movement pattern
boiler stats and ai change
setting up own auto movment in pvp would be so funny
have VG avoid nagato barrage 100% of the time ez
your mf eats more tho
so ryuusei jsut insta rapes nagato
I don't care about mid, its just QE sitting there anyways
. Besides, as long as you're heavy armor it doesnt do all that much
max speed, and circle, probably
to make sure you avoid stuff
also if pattern is arbitrary duration, tons of mindgames possible
need VG to survive at all costs to absorb Hiryuu strikes
go to front every 15 for torps
for def you can always avoid secs too if you wish
charge in max for torps
wreck the main fleet!
actually you can even set up 610s to hit maybe
since fixed main flt positions
xD
force bulge on main fleet 
custom auto pattern could shake up the meta so much tbh
also re: bataan's crazy high plane efficiency
what is the point of light CVs
if they just buff their damage up to match CVs
that just seems illogical
they seem like a natural buff class
if they're bad then make their buffs better lmao
lul
I'm LBing the bieber squad to get the bieber batch
is there any reason to MLB them
I know there's a fleet tech thing in this game but I don't actually know how important/relevant it is
ok
hahaha
thats illegal
holistic game development is illegal
everyone knows you need to focus completely on some random obscure thing and ignore everything else
(such as L2D swimsuit skins)
zara's pretty handy
gotta hand it to her
how high would the carrier escort damage reduction need to be for aylwin to be usable in pvp lmao
even the concept of carrier protection skill is so dumb
how about you protect the carriers
by actually being useful
and contributing to the battle in a meaningful way
huh, full retro style team
sodak/owari da with juneau/belfast/fortune
all 120
xD
bicc brain strats
he managed to take out my amagi
smh
this ones interesting. i wonder how many resets its gonna take to bring them down
no juneau so probably a few
nah just 1. formidable isnt really great for this team comp
well I just figured out why my torps have always been shit
I figured it out by fighting someone with magtorps on all 3 of his vg
and it just deletes 70% of my vg health right at the beginning even though they're in a smokescreen
idk 3 torp ships
aya and the other two meta torp ships
but not ibuki
and they were lvl 120 and my ships were lvl 100 
but still
the torps actually hit every time
you wont see many ibukis cause pr investment
its called def fleet bias 
I thot atk fleet gets fucktons of buffs
holy shit I think I just found the meta smoothie
orange juice, cashew milk, cranberries, strawberries, banana
well
the only concerning part is CLs really
because they get 15% damage amp
they're only 8% weaker than your own ships (minus your own CLs)
I'm wondering if I'm just going to get cucced by PR ships after enough time passes that people have lots of maxed out PR ships
found a maxed namaryuu and result is really consistent 17-3. warkai might just make this comp unbeatable in offense 

is 1 BB and 2 CVs an objectively superior fleet comp to 3 CV
because of the BB fires
Somehow, everytime I try triple CV. I feel like the third CV gets a penalty or some shit and doesn't do nearly as much damage as it should.
wasnt there the max plane targets thing
someone brought up?
like 6 bombs/torpedos and it caps or w/e
"max plane targets"?
i forget
like you can only target a ship with a certain number of plane based weaponry before it cancels others or something
i dunno
is there such thing
I do know there is something related to plane cap that causes ryuuseis to fire torpedoes behind themselves
but I don't know the actual details beyond that
for bombs i think it's because there can only be so many bombs in one area
if it is the same for torp then it would be normal that not all of them shoot from same position
feels like crash damage also nerfed too
like with 2 CV always have enemy flag nearly dead
third CV should theoretically finish it off, but it doesnt
i think crash dmg is the same it just doesn't scale
like u get more hp the more u level up
but crash dmg is same for planes based on their hp
what if spread launch with fast launch CV like Centaur, mid launch Formidable, late launch Vicc 
spread is the only way to use multiple cv well imo. at leat pve
lul
you like big vicc and u cannot lie?
i prefer vicky over formidable as cg
vicky is nuts tho
is dis phoenix alt lul
there's another guy named GrandF too
but nah, unrelated. the F in my name actually stands for something
F
CN folks say that the plane targeting limit is actually 4, down from 6 so its even worse than they thought 
so each enemy can only be targeted by 4 planes at the exact same time
as soon as the planes release torps/bombs tho that spot frees up
but barrage planes take up those spots
centaur should be dropping 12 torp bombs per airstrike right? yea i dont think its even close to that at times
so in comes formie with her 6 additional albacores on her barrage
its kind of hard to test because all CVs also have "ghost bombers" that always drops default bombs, similar to BBs will still launch shells with no gun equipped
but those ghost bombers dont go away when u equip planes, and their ghost bombs take up the 4 targeting spots as well
https://img.nga.178.com/attachments/mon_201909/27/foQ5-2vilXsZ7nT3cSh4-9m.gif see how the barrage albacore planes fly across the screen but theres no red barrage torps


it only bugs out consistantly with avgas on formie, which we dont have on EN yet

but i would probably stagger CV launch times by half a second just in case
did u ppl already report it
in jp
and wasnt the beacon the cause
rather than avgas
i think i said beacon by mistake last time. its avgas, the aux that makes planes fly faster
got a full ryuusei from event at 38k points lul
more like p2w fleet
Yeah I was wondering about that too
in event I was seeing formi sometimes either not drop her barrage planes or not drop something (too few torps)
I thought it was just a stacking bug though cause I didn't notice any dmg decrease (it's really hard to tell)
Yeah except it's only pay and not win
You just described FGO

Well, we would need to define p2w
If u need to whale 3k gems to get event ship does it vount?

U win waifus

assuming every ship is waifu
i dont need to be specific

Loser.
no u

wha
But i still got em all, even rate ups
seeing their announcement
which i will take at face value
we wont get other servers event
and just get dumb reruns
Siriusly
war archives p much confirmed a

war archives are jsut there
for re-reruns
they should just dump
they will just archive all non rerun vents 1st
them old event ships
at build
they wont do that
people complained alot and suggested that in game feed
each time they archive event they add ships to build
answer is we'll have to rerun them
bullcrap
so ill take their prev announcement at face value
really
lol
putting them in build
means less variation
the majority of players have 50iq and go with the meta and what sounds good on paper
We actually got rerun ships too this time
jp cn has already put dumps of these old event ships in the build
its inevitable that en will be like that too
might as well put it early
and not rerun crap
and not just a clash of mirror units
it will, it will
limited units in games, especially gachas
that influence the meta

will set up a barrier
in the end its just delaying people who didnt get nagato amagi
i don't feel like getting my ironblood fleet leveled
farther in the future everyone will play the same meta
ofc
give it early
just rush it 
so we get done
it could be competitive
if they remove the reset option from the board
i'm just here for the 15k purins
play with me sagitits 
pso2 still good what
ye
what ship are u even
there was 1 main EN ship
qeq
hly
ship 10 got gaijin guilds np
en version prolly wont get collabs
idk what collabs even do there
costumes hey
qeq
And the trading system there...

Like u needed to buy auction passes or something
to sell stuff
i played sea and got bored 
cant get over the fact dat u gotta pay for premium to set up shop
If u not hanging around w/ some1 most of time, u get bored really fast
stupid af
how tho
real money i mean
ye
Or you could buy it from auction and use to setup own?
well, i dun remember, but i managed to survive
the upgrade system kinda pissed me off as well lmao
But it's just boring af aside few raids
gotta drag some friend alone with you everywhere
and no1 will want to hang around noob locations
had a guild but ppl got bored 
like srsly in the early days
well
pretty much
they had a term for it
How is translation doing btw
i dont rmb acronyms lul
that project was pretty decent
only menus are okay and story i guess
lol
i dont need tl for story tho
item and skill descriptions?
skills were pretty readable iirc
esp
So project kidna died?
Alive but outdated
idk
yeah, most ppl die off before
they actually reach 90
cause it's fuccing boro solo grindgest

I will burn yr ship down 
Need more stripers in background


pso2 is in every console existing
and it had some synch function
NO, i mean, that console version had some shared stuff w/ PC
the console and pc is the one and same game
lol
just a specifc channels for consoles
nah, there was some another pso game


and they like shared summons etc. if u link ps02 account
mobile probably
oya
u link accs
i only rmb playing psp :>
theres no more vita channels in the game now
and there some stuff
qeq
