[grand crow]

suggestion: for #game-news or future announcements, it's better to use unix timestamp so that it will convert automatically to local timezone of the players, it works both on pc and mobile, for example the next maintenance schedule is on <t:1658804400>. (hover your mouse to the date on pc or click the date on mobile)

[cedar trench]

This

[buoyant wraith]

I agree with this, any updates for #game-news now shouldbe using unix timestamp. It'll convert to local timezone, example when you type <t:1658786400> it'll change to <t:1658786400>

Mejik word

By this feature, every sensei will not be able to get themself confused by that

[severe heath]

...i don't think this is necessary given that it already has a checkmark

[young pawn]

you'll be surprised at how the check doesnt show on other places

[severe heath]

even i can see it on my phone

[amber raft]

N-i-ghtmare is a banned word that is not bad Resolved

[livid anvil]

the way you tried to bypass it makes it weirder lol

[young pawn]

can we have roles to denote which server we are in
and additionally, an explanation of what the servers are and how to determine your server to accompany the role select

[little rover]

we did do some, but we will make sure to do more to make sure this doesnt happe again

[edgy mirage]

Is it possible to establish a some sort of calendar of upcoming events like Priconne has? https://kenofnz.github.io/priconne-en-event-timer/ or do we perhaps already have something like this already?

[amber raft]

For the discord raid, feedback goes in this form https://forms.gle/iLe2n2gh6fFu1kDc7

#raid-event-feedback message

[pseudo bolt]

A channel for character birthdays, for those who want to hear the special voice line in game.

[atomic hemlock]

There is one right now on pins at #🗣️ba-general , but still we consider it

[silver bluff]

Official channel for Cafe showcasing.

[lilac moon]

Not sure if this was already suggested but could we get a bot channel?

[little rover]

both good ideas, ill bring them up

[hardy cosmos]

Add as emotes the school logos of every academy

[young pawn]

Just saying, but slowmode isn't exactly a solution. IMO just let the people let out steam. Slowmode affects everyone, and people you want to make affected by slowmode will still do their stuff.

[hardy cosmos]

in additional of the suggestion, this comment from a mod is so unfair, since now "We" the players, are who do the bugs or something? Whats that "resolution" to apply slowmode? No make sense
The mod team should re-think again at the time to apply some things, and accuse people (in this case all the players talking in #🗣️ba-general) is just a disagreeable joke

[ancient ember]

Suggestion (and complain, I think). For mods who managed cafe-showcase event last time, I ever did remind someone who didn't put their cafe name, but someone deleted it and said again what I said before, "please put your cafe a name, you can edit it. Thank you." Just because it's mod's task to remind, you delete someone's message who helps your task. You think it's just a messy message, so you delete it and think the sender will not see what you did. At least, give me a "Thanks for helping me" because I help you.
Don't be EGOIST. Don't ACT at your own.
Edit : Mods must be professional, especially you, panpan

[little rover]

we will bring this stuff up with the team, thank you

[severe oar]

a hammertime pin for daily server reset would be helpful

[young pawn]

<@&897693925127630909>

[cedar trench]

a

oke

@young pawn ded

[young pawn]

ty

[merry chasm]

Please add Wakamo emote. If you need to make room for more emotes, removing all the current emotes to replace them all with Wakamo emotes is perfectly acceptable to me. Wakamo is love. Wakamo is life. 💝

[amber raft]

server feedback not game feedback

[young pawn]

Cafe Showcase Event winners Pics somewhere for viewing thanks

[young pawn]

Would also appreciate to have any indication if messages here has been taken notice of by the people with power, and for this channel to actually be noticed by said people

[woeful coral]

This channel is being noticed, despite the lack of response.
Though, sure, from now on, we will make sure that the people here know that their feedback has been considered.

with that being said, all the feedback from this message up has already been considered

[drowsy cedar]

hmm mods. can we have a game screenshoots channel where we can post our in game SSs so that we wont spam the #🗣️ba-general too much?

[woeful epoch]

if the nature of the screenshot is based on "Cherry Blossom Festival Commotion! (re-run)", put it on #📕story-spoilers
If PVP then #🆚pvp-tactical-challenge
If raid related then #🏅wraid-allied-operation
If gacha pulls, #🏆flex-archive

If your screenshots does not meet those & existing channels, kindly elaborate more or explain on your suggestion.

[drowsy cedar]

was thinking about a channel where we can post some random happenings or what we did (like i've just finished this or achieved or finished this stage.) on the game to Screenshot channel. but i guess we can just use the channels that you've mentioned for those huh.

[woeful epoch]

For now, yes. Can share about it in the main channel

[drowsy cedar]

oki, thx sir! o7

[merry chasm]

Wakamo sticker when?

I think a separate #reroll-help channel under #🔰gameplay-help might be good to separate those two. We get a lot of reroll questions in #🔰gameplay-help and sometimes during gameplay discussions. Would also make it easier for new players who are rerolling to see previous reroll advice and for anyone looking for gameplay help to see previous gameplay advice.

[woeful epoch]

Keep refering them to the pinned

[merry chasm]

Yeah, we do that. But even with the guide they still have questions like "which of these 2-3 accounts should I use?" If it's in one channel, it'd be easier for them to see what advice other people received and also wouldn't interrupt gameplay discussions in #🔰gameplay-help.

[fallen flame]

Having a thread will also help as some new units that come out are higher priority. Like once we get Iroha I would argue she is a bigger priority than Hibiki but at least she needs to be in the Nice to Have

[woeful epoch]

Duly noted. For now, if you want the guy's attention. Don't hesitate to enable reply ping so he doesn't miss your answers especially to newbies. ✌️ 👀

[lilac moon]

Booster chat when

[floral mural]

arius school role?

[atomic hemlock]

Will be added in future as long as the school itself is already on global

[rich flare]

can the #student-info be an announcement thing so we can get news on when new students come out? unless its not for new students and more like a show case

[woeful coral]

It’s more of a showcase thing

Though, banner info isn’t shown anywhere else in the server, so it may be worth placing there, people do consider it important information

I’ll bring it up, thanks for mentioning it

[woeful coral]

Forgot to quote ping

[rich flare]

[gaunt horizon]

I would highly appreciate maintenance notices being posted under game news. Other official servers like Arknights and Azur Lane will post them there and gives players a quick and easy way to tell when the game is not available

To be fair it used to be done but it's been silent for a while now

[woeful epoch]

Duly noted. While that is being worked on, follow the game on Facebook & Twitter ✌️

[loud canopy]

hello can you please add the "implied" rules like not posting pulls in discussion to the guidelines ? i was reprimanded for something that i didnt know was against the rules because they aren't listed in the guidelines.

[cedar trench]

School Emojis pls

[woeful coral]

Your request has been noted

[woeful coral]

Your request has been noted

[plucky ember]

Bring back original meme channel please

[hardy cosmos]

2 Suggestions as i aint seeing changes from suggestions that are "taking notes" on this channel
First: a channel or maybe in #guidelines a text like this (but short) with the purpose of new people know of every channel and where is correct to send content/images/find info about something specific topic of the game. With this we can avoid/prevent at the hour of "explain" why something is not available in X channel, also more specific implicit rules that new people cant know after a time being in the server.

Second: Return the original meme channel. Need explanation about why?
Literally the channel created yesterday and is already dead. Why forcing to us to made memes related? The people can avoid that, putting a student or something about the game and mods will have more problems than before because need to check every meme
If the problem was for some sus or "they go against the rules", just warn/ping the person that break the rule.
Otherwise will be a dead channel 👍

I add: is that hard to add school emotes?

1 month since the first suggestion

[little rover]

taking notes does not equal immediate changes to the server. Also, just because you suggest something doesnt mean its going to happen

1. As much as this helps, people can also just read the name and description of the channel to see what each channel is. We can update the descriptions to be a little more detailed
2. No
3. Its not "hard to add emotes" but we can look into adding those emotes again

[hardy cosmos]

With that first sentence, i suggest to close this channel since never did something about all suggestions so, thats talk how is the same if this channel exist or not and how our opinion as community no matter . Also congrats for having a new dead channel in server 👍

[little rover]

Your suggestion has been noted, thank you for your feedback

[buoyant wraith]

Rollback updates for #🎭ba-memes to one week ago

[plucky ember]

[cedar trench]

original meme channel pls

[fallen flame]

Please update the Description for the #🎞️your-videos channel to specify that it's only for BA videos. Neither the name of the channel or the Description state that but people get their posts deleted for breaking that rule despite it not being listed

[buoyant wraith]

We need #memes channel back, i want something entertaining out of ba memes

[solid island]

There is a blue archive community server out there that you can join. They allow regular memes, political memes and slightly lewd memes as well. These are highly sensible on an official discord and the workload is kinda harsh for the mods to always have to decide on a one-to-one basis.
I am sure we already have users who have joined both servers already and work tirelessly without pay to repost each and every blue archive meme onto both servers, you won't miss anything.

[woeful coral]

It is pinned already, but sure, it will also be added to the description

[honest forge]

They are the moderators I need languages (English, Chinese, etc) responsible to help community experience.

Add bot channel language reaction and add language channel chat.

[young pawn]

well i do at least think that having channels for languages officially supported by the game is fair
problem would be having someone to mod said channels

[woeful coral]

Yes, that is the main issue with having those channels

[cedar trench]

[ancient ember]

Joint firing drill discussion channel, if it's possible

[charred nest]

Same here joint exercise channel can be a great thing to bring

[atomic hemlock]

Joint exercise channel will be opened since it get green light from admin, thank you for your suggestion

#💬gameplay-discussion is officially open

[rustic rune]

We need more wakamo emotes

[merry chasm]

I agree.

[little rover]

if you could provide us with some were given permission to use then sure

[honest forge]

add channel idea: "#game-maintenance"

[woeful coral]

Can you please describe the purpose this channel would have?

[honest forge]

Look example #🗣️ba-general message

[amber raft]

I think he’s saying he wants a specific channel for game maintenance announcements

[woeful coral]

Yes, I understand

[young pawn]

would just like to clarify something
how strict are we taking "edits"

[merry chasm]

Text was changed to "taking images from google, plagiarism or using third party software..." btw. Third-party software I am guessing refers to AI images especially. Like if you use photoshop or gimp to just do some quick color correction and add text or whatever, that's fine. But if you have an AI or other third-part software just basically create the photo for you, that's against the rules.

[cedar trench]

Thanks for 1 year, community and community team.

[atomic hemlock]

[dawn zealot]

I'm sure somebody has already brought it up in the tweet, but the description says "inner discipline club" and not "prefect team" in:
#🎨official-art message

[woeful epoch]

I have no idea either, unless its translated because of other language 😐

[young pawn]

Can we turn #🎨official-art #🎞️official-videos #official-manga into announcement channels so we can follow them like these:

[woeful epoch]

So far... If only Discord allowed it though, they removed that old feature on text channels when Announcement is implemented. So this basically a restart of each channels.

[young pawn]

is it time to remake the channels into announcement channels?

[woeful epoch]

[plush ravine]

#official-manga no longer uploads the extra panel, can the extra panels be added as well for future comics?

[frozen birch]

[hardy cosmos]

Announcements about shops/links (verified) where we can buy official merch of the Game

[mortal nest]

emoji suggestion, drawn by me and inspiration taken from

[woeful epoch]

you missed the emoji contest in the server

[mortal nest]

[light ingot]

Is this the right place to request digital merch wallpaper in 4k?

[little rover]

this channel is for feedback regardin the discord server

[hardy cosmos]

A request to not allow datamine info in the server, even in #💬jp-content, since people take this misinforming others and asking things that even in JP arent already released. Also they should be more severe with people that spoil history (Global or JP) outside the correct channels 👍

[fallen flame]

As a compromise you could also start a thread in JP content for datamined content and pin it this way it is clear to not talk about it outside that thread

[woeful coral]

It shall be discussed with the team

[hexed blade]

Hey, I just want to let you know that there's someone in this group that's attempting to get into the Steam accounts of people in this server

This is a known scam, so it would be wise to ban them

<@&897693925127630909>

[woeful epoch]

Hmm ok

[woeful epoch]

this is noted

[hexed blade]

Thanks, just wanted to give the heads up

[merry chasm]

Can we get the new in-game stickers like Wakamo added to the server please? Thank you.

[unborn dock]

i agree

[little rover]

we can look into grabbing some yeah

[astral lake]

Ask are we getting a separate server or a new channel for safer ver. Of BA?

[woeful epoch]

Surely it doesn't need one. 🙃

[merry chasm]

The contrast ratios for the JP and SRT role colors on Discord's dark (default) theme are ridiculously low. Please change the role colors to something with a contrast ratio of at least like 3:1 or something. (Discord's chat background color in default theme is 36393F, for reference.)

[amber raft]

gameplay content is gonna be the same and just changes in dialogue/L2D is probably not worth separating into a new channel. And chat is SFW as long as there are mods keeping an eye on it

[astral lake]

I see ,sorry for dum question

[arctic hornet]

We should add mikaspider

[flint zenith]

Does Blue Archive Teen have its own discord? If not please make one.

[little rover]

There's no reason to make a separate server, this is the official server for the global release as a whole, it will stay like that

[cedar trench]

Any body down to have a BA RADIO channel here for us to play music? like in the Genshin Discord.

[little rover]

ill bring it up with the team and see what we can do

[idle snow]

i cannot DM akooo my account info

[amber raft]

What is the problem? (I’ll ping you in #🔧technical-help if I can help so I don’t clutter here). problem has been RESOLVED

[idle snow]

it show "Akooo#7848 Do not accept friend requests in the first place" when i try to add ako

[dawn zealot]

You can just DM without needing to friend request them, they should have the "Allow DMs from mutual server" toggle on

Only if the toggle's off is it an issue

[woeful epoch]

I can actually DM Akooo even without friend request, wdym???

[amber raft]

It was the allow DM stuff. He already did the DM by now. Probably thought he needed to friend them, but learned that wasn’t the case

[short moon]

wouldn't it be nice to have the event cgs on #🎨official-art ? they're too cute

[verbal pine]

Need a role for Schale #assignable-roles message

[kindred veldt]

a suggestion if it's not a bother.., a channel or space for the latam community, please

[hardy cosmos]

they cant do that since the knowledge of mod team is just for English speakers

[hardy cosmos]

But i will add something about this, maybe a suggestion where Admins can evaluate opening Mod apply with the requirement of speak Spanish and also English

[woeful coral]

Well, as hyrian said, it can’t be done at the moment

As for his own suggestion, I’ll forward it

[cedar trench]

@little rover @gleaming pulsar Your buddy Neru is acting all wierd on me like he never saw me, and you guys saw how keep this server straight and push guidlines, tell your neru who i am. TY

Its spaming the main discussion channel

Compost and him.

[little rover]

i do not understand your complaint

can you tell me what exactly is wrong?

[cedar trench]

Im presicely telling that mod, Neru, that im the type to push guidelines and follow the rules. Like you saw. And he repeats, without reading what i write. About not posting NSFW? like i did? and also, acts like im new to the server.

Respect goes both ways, i feel to comment that its not mutual, while i do my best to keep this great server in a good place

Making mods like easier

Also, i was curious about the input about adding a RADIO-Channel to this server, ive pitched that idea to see if that would be taken and propose to the admins.

If its a bandwith issue, i can boost the server for more mb/s

[little rover]

First off, id appreciate it if you did not "mini mod" the chat. While i appreciate you bringing things up to us, please try not to act as a moderator in the chats.
Secondly, Neru told you to move to #🎨fan-art to post fan arts, which is exactly what i would do too
this isn't an issue of respect or anything like that, i dont really see what the issue is reading back through chat

Your idea was taken into consideration and we are working with Nexon to get it approved, it will have to wait

[cedar trench]

I said yes right after the demands.

He he keep telling it, while none were posted after

Its important, as said, to be mutual

Like we do me and you.

[little rover]

Im sorry if you felt attacked or something, but it was not his intention at all
ive reread it and i dont see any issue with how he responded.

[cedar trench]

If a server member acting like a jerk, breaking rules, being rude, then id understand the follow up messages like he did. If a mod tells me to post in fan art.

And i was SIMPLY replying, that "i thought it was for people making art" since i dont do these arts. That simple open statement made him go say comments, that i felt aggressive.

But its settle now, ty for you time Watsen

[little rover]

Anytime Apollo

[torpid drift]

still havent received the pyroxenes from the digital merch event i think

#hall-of-fame message

[woeful epoch]

did you DM Akooo with your user info? If yes, you need to wait for it to be processed.

[torpid drift]

yes i did

been almost a week already so got worried

[woeful epoch]

Ok, so far you have no issue during the submission or callout wrong in your submission. Have to wait for Akooo to process it.

[torpid drift]

kk thank you

ill check back again if i havent received it in a week

[atomic hemlock]

Received it or not yet you should wait, admin will post whenever they sent it to you at #hall-of-fame

No need to worried since they are official nexon staff

[celest vector]

I have a question
What you think about this official discord server then a community server?

[woeful coral]

Could you rephrase this question?
This channel most likely isn't the place for you to be asking it, but just in case I've misunderstood

[celest vector]

Oh sorry

[cedar trench]

Can we have a permanent Blue Archive Global voice chat channel?

[atomic hemlock]

We ever have that but unfortunately due to off-screenshare and some of member use it for talking inapproppiate way then we decided to closed it

And only open for 1 day during new / rerun banner for now

[charred drift]

I understand. Fun while it’s here tho

[atomic hemlock]

Definitely can behave while its already off-screenshare

[charred drift]

Oh hey there I am

I see why you have to keep it limited. And to open it back to its unregulated state would be to repeat the mistake you once let pass. Thank you for at least telling us why 👍

Indeed

[atomic hemlock]

Suggestion will be discussed with other mods and admin as well, i know that all that usually active in here know the rules of it and try to not broke it but as we only part of discord mods we can't do as we want until there is a green light from upper staff

[cedar trench]

Thank you, I appreciate that a lot.

[charred drift]

I gotta say this with conjunction to Skal’s argument, the people here are generally good-hearted and won’t go out of their way to be malicious from what I’ve seen. I’m sure a somewhat loose yet firm rulebook for VC chat and streaming would tighten up security and make the job of moderation slightly easier

[cyan badger]

turn tech and feedback into these.

so that individual concerns can be visible

using text channels can bury concerns of other players.\

[civic harbor]

I don't know if this has been asked/answered. I created a discord server for my club members. I followed the game-news channel, yet nothing appears in my own server? Are you publishing the announcements so that they can be pushed to other channels?

[teal sandal]

We need more

[stray field]

Should be a late publish coming through if not already 🤔

[woeful epoch]

we notified the Admin for that matter, it's out of moderator's control

[celest vector]

Hey there
I just got inform by Akoo (If I remember correctly) in the #hall-of-fame and they sent a message to the user to give us our username and UID and sever.

[severe heath]

buddy that just means message Akooo privately

in their DMs

[celest vector]

Oh okay
I will do that later

[severe heath]

give them the details they need and you'll receive the prize in-game

[celest vector]

Alright then

[celest vector]

I will send Akooo my username and other things

[hardy cosmos]

**a temporal channel to send favorite student that people want to spend xmas (Extra dialogue in game). If cant be possible for tomorrow, please for New year **

[civic harbor]

Thanks for replying, it seems to work now.

[young pawn]

more moderation in #🗣️ba-general regarding offtopic please. idk about others but at the least i go there expecting stuff about BA

[young pawn]

like #💬off-topic exists for a reason

i try to divert them to #💬off-topic but instead im the bad guy for doing so

[woeful epoch]

yup so far you only pinged hifoom so kindly ping other mods if still unreachable

[atomic hemlock]

There is absolutely 0 reason to handling stuff like this on your own, if you find people treating you such as bad guy or mods not present atm then just ping them or DM

[sly spade]

Possible to include tweets on events from BA twitter into game news channel here?

[woeful coral]

Well, no, sorry

[little rover]

we will bring it up with nexon staff once theyre free

i thought it was already doing that huh

[pliant crane]

Can we have a gameplay-discussion channel with less 😭 and more senseless discussion about tierlists and whatnot?

[loud rock]

#🗣️ba-general

[cedar trench]

No

[gleaming pilot]

I was suddenly warned when I wasn’t spamming anything in #🗣️ba-general… can any mods here explain?

[woeful epoch]

no warning record found on the automod, kindly elaborate?

oh there is deleted due to excessive letters/words

like typing same letter longer than 5

[gleaming pilot]

So it is not allowed?

[woeful epoch]

yes, prevent spamming.

[gleaming pilot]

Alright, thanks for telling me.

[severe oar]

can we have a pinned post for whenever a new banner drops to advice whether if players should pull on her or not

[woeful epoch]

Hello, for that item there are 2 pinned messages in the #🔰gameplay-help you can refer to: [1] Midokuni's Students Insights (constantly being updated), [2] Meta banner guide by Stokesia.

[severe oar]

ok sankyuu sensei

[celest vector]

Hey there moderator
Is there a any way to create a thread in this discord server
For talking about off topic of Blue Archive for a example (racing and sports and anime and Netflix shows)?

[woeful epoch]

Not sure what you mean why off-topic BA so kindly elaborate... though... at the end of the day, it somewhat related if there were collab/adaptation with Blue Archive.
Is #💬off-topic insufficient?

[celest vector]

Yeah

Off topic things

[halcyon fable]

I've ran into script issues with the game every now and then, like this:

Would it be possible to get a channel for error reports?

[woeful epoch]

put it on#🔧technical-help then mention which story & episode

[halcyon fable]

Gotcha, will do. I figured that channel was just for actual tech related problems/support, not typo reports.

[celest vector]

I want to thanks to the moderator for being nice and helpful in Blue Archive

[latent sigil]

A channel dedicated to BA related music?
It would be cool to have community operated jukebox with an open setlist like other servers, but be liable to abuse. Realistically it can be a playlist of BA soundtracks that users can vote for embedded in discord as it's own separate channel. An aggressive step would be integration into discussion for "lobby" music or perhaps hold it as a weekly event not dissimilar to VC.

Just thought that BA's soundtrack(and composer Nor)needs some much deserved recognition and that in my experience that people remember a game long after it's lifetime by sound even when they've gone senile like me .

[reef locust]

Why do I keep prompting for this after I update the game

[cedar trench]

Wrong channel

[cedar trench]

We getting a world raid/allied operations discussion channel?

[woeful coral]

It’s just part of this event, and not a common occurrence, so it’s unlikely

[cedar trench]

Ah ok

[cyan badger]

Literally unplayable game man 3nd year???

Pls fix

jk but here's a typo

[gleaming pulsar]

3nd Year

[cyan badger]

It's literally unplayable 😠

it's in here btw

[gleaming pulsar]

what unplayable

[cyan badger]

im just kidding

[gleaming pulsar]

o

[cyan badger]

aight lemme say my feedback clearly without kidding hahahahah
there is a typo in an image posted on the community tab of the blue archive youtube page.

[woeful epoch]

yup understood, YouTube post

[young mica]

Can we get a map bot here? The one that you input map name like 12-3H and it shows all the maps, enemy type, reward, etc etc ?

It would save many Sensei a lot of time

[severe heath]

might need cooperation with the map bot creator but this is a great idea

[latent sigil]

Open some new channels for #🗣️ba-general please, currently slow mode is just a band-aid don't think it's sustainable.
Also this leap in population is going to tax the mods maybe recruit more to spread the burden.

[trim tiger]

couple of suggestions:

1. rename discussion to ba-discussion to be explicit about the content expected there.
2. unless I'm overlooking something there doesn't appear to be a channel discussing the actual in game event that is occurring, only the discord server event.

[fervent wadi]

Emote suggestion channel where we can vote for emotes

[frigid pond]

could we please have Asia role be orange

[royal pulsar]

Add region role pls, to more easily add other senseis

[unkempt falcon]

Fix chrashing

[frozen birch]

wdym ?

[woeful coral]

This is the feedback channel for the discord server, not the game.

[tranquil lion]

I feel like you guys should make a event help page especially with the upcoming summer event, people could really use a page to talk about the event specfically

I know gameplay help is there, but i think it's too generic since gameplay can cover a whole heap of subjects

[little rover]

are you looking for a discussion channel or a general guide for the upcoming event?

[tranquil lion]

A discussion channel with guides and videos as pinned comments

I think it's a channel that will be useful even after the next summer event because people will always have questions about what's the best quest to farm, how to be challenge #, is this event character worth grinding for etc.

kind of a mess when getting mixed in with gameplay help which is filled with all types of questions

[little rover]

When it comes to general conversation, #🗣️ba-general is the place to do it. Also, GPH isnt really cluttered, considering we split the channel into 4 different channels to spread out the assistance. If you have any guides we can get permission to use i dont mind pinning them into #🔰gameplay-help for people to use, and cycle them in and out as events come and go

[warm blade]

As for #finding-friends-old what about make it as a forum?
Like distributing the thread based on the server?

[little rover]

Good idea, I'll pass it along

[tranquil lion]

Can we have community streams in the future, maybe like people show themselves pulling?

I know it might be hard to organize and all but I think it will be really fun event for the server.

[atomic hemlock]

We do have a VC back then when game is still considered as new

But alas, the member use it for "uncivilized" topic and admin + staff catch it

So the only best thing you can get as for now is VC opened only when new banner out for a day (2 days for anniversary banner)

We do ever bring it up to pass it to give chance for 2nd try permanent VC but there is no green light

[barren raptor]

How do i access the jp content channel? Im confused

[atomic hemlock]

This is server feedbacks, not for question answer related, for your answer pick it at #assignable-roles

[desert cosmos]

Just click the Blue JP button and it should grant you that in #assignable-roles

[barren raptor]

oh sorry, my bad

also thanks for the answer, it didn't appear at first on my phone's discord but its there on the desktop version

[tranquil lion]

does the greenlight need to come from nexon?

[atomic hemlock]

Yes because that's how official works, without approvement then the suggestion is scratched

[latent sigil]

I suggest we don't open a VC the influx of population and overtaxed staff means something stupid is going to happen.

Also milky is lazy

[celest vector]

Is any Moderator available

So I want ask you some questions

I want to create a club in Blue Archive
That means I have to put my club information in #club-recruitment-old-old but unfortunately I don't have a discord club

[atomic hemlock]

Nah VC still will be opened

Its a rare occasion

[atomic hemlock]

That is not server feedback, for club if you want to create just create and promote it

There is no requirement for you to have discord server for it

[celest vector]

Okay then thanks Noa.
I'm gald to meet you when I join here

[celest vector]

[merry chasm]

I recommend a dedicated channel for banner & reroll help so that #🔰gameplay-help doesn't get overwhelmed with streams of "should I pull this or that?" "should I spark or should I save?" etc. etc. and leaves room for players to ask for actual gameplay help like what teams to use, skills to upgrade, stages to farm, and so on.

[latent sigil]

Honestly this wouldn't be a problem if people just read the pins

[celest vector]

To message to the moderator
I'm very sorry for my actions that I cause how I was trying to make the situation clam before any damages will ever done but I don't know why I got myself in time out but I will accept my responsibility that I cause.

It shouldn't ever happen again
I can DM you if something goes wrong and maybe be friends

I'm very sorry

[brave dirge]

Is it possible to add region roles so people can signify which server they are playing on?

[silver wharf]

Is there anything that can be done about #club-recruitment-old-old being nothing but self promotion link spam of personal community discords? It’s very difficult to find an actual club looking for players and it’s just the same people reposting their links

[dark imp]

I like this server 👍

[lilac moon]

I know this isn’t my place to talk but #club-recruitment-old-old exists so Club Leaders can advertise their club/players who are looking for a club can post their credentials there

And I believe you joined my club server a while back and left Aruchive Official, I have a second club open if you would like to join

[merry chasm]

There's now #faq-old, "FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions", and another FAQ pinned in #🔰gameplay-help.

There's raid and event guides pinned in #🔰gameplay-help, in #Raid and Event Guides, more raid guides pinned in #🏅wraid-allied-operation, and more event guides in #905229231741628436.

[woeful coral]

Raid and event guides is a dead thread, it’s not a concern and can be deleted
I do not think there is a problem with more specialised raid resources being pinned in the channel instead of gameplay-help, though the more general ones can be put in both places
Apart from that, sure, I’ll reorganise #905229231741628436 , #907478274807050250 and #🔰gameplay-help pins to reduce the amount of repeated/unsorted info

I cannot say much on the purpose of #faq-old at the moment, but faqs may be moved there in the future

[merry chasm]

Yeah, not making particular suggestions on how to organize it, just pointing out it could use some organization.

[woeful coral]

Well, to be honest your complaint wasn’t clear so I kind of guessed, let me know if you meant something else

Oh

[merry chasm]

I think a dedicated channel for guides would be better than a thread because threads are buried and not usually found unless somebody points you to them. Could perhaps reduce the kind of "where are guides?" traffic in #🔰gameplay-help if there's a #guides channel right below, for example.

I also still think something like a #banner-help channel would reduce traffic in #🔰gameplay-help so that it can be more focused on actual gameplay like team formations for different stages or challenges and stuff like that.

[woeful coral]

Thanks for the suggestions
Channel creation is not something that can be instantaneously done, it will have to be approved and organised first so a response could take a while

[merry chasm]

Something I do for my own servers is create a dummy server from the same layout where I can freely create and move around channels and organize pins until I find something I am satisfied with. Makes it much easier to organize things. And could use that as a concept to show the admins what you have in mind when suggesting channel changes.

[merry chasm]

#907478274807050250, #905229231741628436, and the pins in #🔰gameplay-help are looking good now.

[silver wharf]

Can we get the moods as emojis?

[little rover]

the moods?

[woeful coral]

These, I assume

[unborn dock]

[hoary hearth]

Better emojis. I'm sure we the treasury has budget for that, no?

[merry chasm]

I think the server is lacking a channel for deeper theory discussion that isn't specifically help or falls specifically into PVP etc. Which is why #🔰gameplay-help tends to go into arguments over general theories because that's where general theory is most commonly brought up. #🗣️ba-general isn't an appropriate channel for that kind of discussion there's too much memeing and casual conversation etc. going on.

[young pawn]

I have been suggesting this in the past too so I'm really up with this. The alternative is to actually make #🗣️ba-general as "ba" AND "discussion" and redirect everything else in #💬off-topic
And if people hate the word off-topic, rename #💬off-topic into #general

[lean ore]

I'm on board with this. When discussion happens in #🔰gameplay-help people get redirected to #🗣️ba-general. But the common user on #🗣️ba-general dislikes their casual conversation being interupted/over-run by gameplay discussion and we are forced out of the channel, leaving us no place to talk about general gameplay.
#🏅wraid-allied-operation is a place some people have been using to talk about general gameplay but it's awkward to go too far off topic.

[little rover]

when you say "theory discussion" are you talking about theory crafting new strats for the game or talking about lore?

[woeful coral]

Not lore

The other

[young pawn]

the better term i guess is gameplay discussion

[merry chasm]

Gameplay theory, yeah.

[granite sandal]

would it be a good idea to remove the attachment limit for #🏆flex-archive only? annoying to repost them when deleted by bot

[hardy cosmos]

This needs correction || || -> Angry

[dawn zealot]

It looks intentional

[merry chasm]

Where Mashiro emoji?

[merry chasm]

#guidelines needs some updates. For example:

#💬gameplay-discussion - Discussion and help related to Joint Firing Drill aspect of Blue Archive.

[little rover]

That is on the list, we will update soon

[young pawn]

suggestion to rename #💬gameplay-discussion into #gameplay-discussion or #gameplay-science

seems theory gives the wrong impression to some people

[storm spear]

I vote for #gameplay-science for the quirky name.

[halcyon fable]

[halcyon fable]

Oh, I suggested adding channel like that about month back, and was told to post them elsewhere. Glad that got added.

[young pawn]

im sending this here because i want this to be an actual complaint
for the love of god, milky please validate your information before spreading them
i dont really want to admit it but you are in a serious position of power that people are prone to believe in you regardless of how wrong you are. please dont make the spread of misinformation much worse than it already is. there have been multiple times already where you have been spreading blatantly incorrect info in #🗣️ba-general.

not exactly the best response from the person in question and the peanut gallery too but im not exactly being kind with my words too and i dont intend to
#🗣️ba-general message

if you receive complaints about something and think theres nothing wrong with it. theres also something very wrong with the way you think.

before someone tries to abuse their power to move me out of here, this is legitimate feedback regarding a server mod.

[atomic hemlock]

Oh?

So you saying sweet event on 4 days not including in here?

If you want to arguing someone in terms of patch or content then also please bring the patch notes of something regarding it

Reminder

I saw this as target specific harrassment

[young pawn]

Sweets is in 8 days
Gehenna rerun is on March

[atomic hemlock]

Everytime i talk in discussion then you cut in, reply to me and then giving elitism attitude

Oh?

You sure?

[young pawn]

This is a legitimate complaint. If you think this is harrassment you better step down.

[atomic hemlock]

https://m.nexon.com/forum/thread/103341

[gaunt gulch]

It is literally there

[atomic hemlock]

No, the february part doesnt mean that the content is delivered on same month

[young pawn]

What is this supposed to show

[gaunt gulch]

In JP it was: Sweets 14 days and THEN Gehenna Summer RR for another 14 days

[atomic hemlock]

We follow patch notes

No stella

We talk about when this thing live

Not duration

[gaunt gulch]

Yeah 20 Feb plus 14 days

Already March mate

[calm sun]

duration still give us idea when the next event lol

[young pawn]

That patch note does not indicate anything regarding sweets nor summer.
The one I posted was the official roadmap detailing that sweets event is on February patch and Summer Gehenna is on march patch

[atomic hemlock]

Oh?

So you saying that in 4 days is also not missinformation?

[young pawn]

it is because again, summer gehenna is expected to be on the march update, aka around 2nd week of march

[lean ore]

Regardless of the upcoming timeline, Milky is still incorrect that Global has had events overlap before. Global has never had two story related events overlap:

Milky's message link: #🗣️ba-general message

Wiki Table for event history (global is at the bottom): https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Events

This kind of misinformation is confusing, and causes chaos and concern, especially from a person in a position of authority.

[young pawn]

you should be more clear on your wording to avoid misunderstanding

[gaunt gulch]

This is correct

[atomic hemlock]

?

[gaunt gulch]

RR 7 days, new event 14 days

[atomic hemlock]

Ok to not making this channel cluttered just discuss elsewhere

If you believe in his statement that event will live in 4 days then you do you

We dont want to derail from the channel main use itself

Anyway

[young pawn]

wait im dumb its not 4 days, its 8 days

but regardless my point stands

please for the love of god go validate your info first

or step down if you think complaints = harassments

[atomic hemlock]

Yeah for sure, now you admit you wrong and still yapping

[young pawn]

sigh

[gaunt gulch]

He is wrong 1 point

The other point is there was never have been 2 events overlapping

Which is the main info you spread, Milk

And that's wrong

[lean ore]

@young pawn fixed it

[atomic hemlock]

Dont try to defend someone

Or in someone case

If he already admit fault then its fine

[gaunt gulch]

Is this even defend because jts a fact

Fair

[atomic hemlock]

I also have a fault coz im human

But im not have elitism attitude like him

[young pawn]

Oh god, Milky. The only thing wrong in what i said is the simple math of dates
The one I am complaining about is your misinformation spreading of events happening at the same time

[gaunt gulch]

Yeah we are automatically rulling out the fact that the amount of misinfos are plenty

[young pawn]

And the multiple prior cases of your misinformation spreading

[gaunt gulch]

Very cool

[atomic hemlock]

Just stop mido

It's futile

[young pawn]

No I will not. This is a legitimate complaint

[atomic hemlock]

Ok

[young pawn]

Don't try to move goalposts. The issue is the fact that you keep spreading misinformation. Whether I'm "elitist" about my complaint or not isn't the point in question.

[young pawn]

and just in case people missed it. Another person has sent a message here. (Which is actually a DIFFERENT complaint)

And just sending it here so it doesn't get forgotten
The start of the conversation in this channel:
#📝server-feedback message

[young pawn]

And just in case, I corrected what I said in this message because unlike a certain mod, I correct my mistakes.

[pastel vine]

As these complaints are being sent here, I might as well send mine here too

I would like to call out the discrimination between members as the first image shows, aside from that, it also shows that Milky isn't trying to let the case settle down by bringing it up along with other server members. And when it was brought up by a user, they just ignored the warning.

As a member of both servers. I find this action, from someone with authority, to be unexemplary.

Instead of moderating the chat to avoid discussing the sensitive topic, as what mods should be doing, they instigated on the topic which made people who doesn't even know what happened, ask about the incident.

From several occasions, Milky has also said that they are moderating from several other official servers, I think that maybe this is one of the reasons on why they are having misjudgements in regards to their previous actions.

In summary, I think that Milky's previous actions has shown that they're quite tactless when it comes to sensitive matters, which is important, specially when you're a moderator from an Official Server.

Milky admitting to be modding multiple servers, which could probably cause the lapses

They also said about being "less spawn" or becoming less active which led to being complacent with the official server rules and etiquette.

[atomic hemlock]

Ty for your critique

[young pawn]

Oh I was only intending to complain about Milky's tendency to spread misinformation while acting almighty. But if we're going with mod stuff too... A recent happening is when JP had the livestream, milky posts about making sure anything in the livestream is to be moved to #💬jp-content and then before 15 minutes pass immediately talk about JP livestream in #🗣️ba-general
Definitely a mod we would follow.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/907156405826486273/1076446549447561256/image.png

[pastel vine]

Thank you, as what you've said, it's a critique, but not for a specific person, but for the server as a whole. If a person of authority in an Official Server acts this way, the game will be viewed in bad light. I really love this game so I don't want it to be seen as how a certain mod acts.

[atomic hemlock]

Where in the image showing me talk about it?

[atomic hemlock]

Absolutely, i take that as a build for me to be better for the future too! As a reminder i also human like you so obv there will be mistake and what other way better than learning what the mistake is

[pastel vine]

No. Not you, I've just said the server as a whole.

An official server really needs to be careful in picking up online staff so as to not ruin their image.

[young pawn]

Also, another recent happening, when someone was actually asking a question, Milky rudely replied to someone who answered saying no one asked
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/907156405826486273/1073966881318387893/image.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/907156405826486273/1073966881821708388/image.png

[atomic hemlock]

Yeah i understand, im not defending myself although the point of discussion is majority we hanging out together as a community and be lax while still following the guideline....majority regular on discussion know when i was joking or when they are joking about it but yeah

Appreciated on your concern man!

[young pawn]

I will also jump on this and add this to the list of relevant images https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/907156405826486273/1068342079597576342/image.png

[pastel vine]

You can't exactly be "lax" and follow the guidelines at the same time though. Most of the time, it's just being "lax".

[young pawn]

If you have enough social awareness, your message there is something that would likely escalate into talking about the stream.

[atomic hemlock]

Well i mean discussion has problem of the "spoiler" itself and that thing is what we working about atm

But the main thing is for lax

[pastel vine]

Like, look at graplo for example, and just to call out proper moderating too, he actually helps new people, moderates chat properly, and still have a chill vibe.

[atomic hemlock]

No need to comparing mods to other mods

That is considered as specific person now, isn't you said as whole server?

[pastel vine]

But he is one of the guys doing proper moderating, as well as neru

And if they're the one representing the server

I totally wouldn't mind it

[atomic hemlock]

Its up to you whoever mods that you think best for you, but there is no need to comparing each other mods coz we not same

There is me and other else

Idk what you want trying to reach at this point

[pastel vine]

You're also taking my statement in a wrong manner, I've said the criticism was for the whole server, since I'm comparing a mod to each other, it has nothing to do with my crticism for the server, but rather a separate crticism for how a proper server mod should act

[atomic hemlock]

I understand but there is absolutely 0 reason to said name of each mods or staff or admin do they?

[pastel vine]

I give credit where credit is due, and hands down to the mods I said because they actually do their respective job

[atomic hemlock]

If you critique over server simply just said that "how a proper server mod should act"

[pastel vine]

Also, if they do their job, the game is also seen in a better view, don't you think?

[atomic hemlock]

Agree

But

You derailed from the idea of whole server to specific specify someone

[pastel vine]

I'm not telling you how to act as a mod, but rather, you should know how to act like one because it's in the application form.

[atomic hemlock]

Bro, you deralied thats my only correction

Take it or not i only said dont compare each of discord staff coz they work differently

You speaking a name, that's the only "pause" moment

Which is can lead to comparing and other mods see it as like other thing

[pastel vine]

I don't know why, you kept on misinterpreting, the whole server thing. I've said it's not for a specific person, but for the server as a whole.

Now to clear it myself, because I thought you would've understood without me saying it word by word.

It's a critique for the server as a whole BECAUSE moderators represents the server.

So it's an INDIVIDUAL act of a SPECIFIC mod affects the server AS A WHOLE.

So whether you did a good job or a bad job, it would REFLECT on the server.

The reason why I brought up Graplo and Neru was due to them being good examples for a proper mod in this server, which brings it to a better view, specially for new members.

And as for a bad example, I've already sent it in my first complaint.

I hope this clears up the misunderstanding, that I thought won't be here exactly in the first place.

[atomic hemlock]

You literally mentioning name of graplo and hairo

[pastel vine]

[atomic hemlock]

You said clearly that they are images of this server

What do you think of other mods when they read that and having different thought?

[pastel vine]

I didn't say that they're images of the server, all mods are

[merry chasm]

Moderators who can't handle criticism aren't fit for the role.

[atomic hemlock]

You can just said "there is couple mod that do excellent job"

Is that not clear or?

[pastel vine]

Milky, that's not the point

You're just being overly specific by now

To make an argument

[atomic hemlock]

This is getting too long

Anyway your critique is obv will be delivered and we will discuss about it

Thank you for your suggestion

[frozen birch]

huh... what about a ticket system for this kind of... incident ? from an outside point of view we have no idea who is wrong or who is right here, it's just complete chaos, that's not the kind of things that should be public to be honest, that's why I think a ticket can be a solution.

[young pawn]

well for the sake of people just dropping by and want to catch up, this is the start of the convo #📝server-feedback message

[hardy cosmos]

Actually if someone is disgusted with a Mod or want to make a report, as far as I know, should be directly to some Admin (Ask to Mods who is the correct one to do it) instead doing this and comparing mods or attack directly and overtly because this lose relevance.

[frozen birch]

I love the way you're phrasing that even though we do not have the same solution. Though, we both find the topic of the incident irrelevant at some points (especially when it all started on a banner/event problem, just check the saori banner dates in game)

[little rover]

The events that transpired yesterday have been passed to the appropriate people. We will be making changes with how stuff like this is handled in a more appropriate way.
We will be looking into finding a better way for users to submit complaints and grievances as well. Thank you for your input

[hasty flicker]

#1074620264006025266 being a subcategory of #905229231741628436 feels out of place, its counterparts, #🏅wraid-allied-operation and #🆚pvp-tactical-challenge occupy their own channels
(i understand that jfd does not have as much uptime as their counterparts)

there is the optoin of having:
all three channels as seperate channels

or alternatively
#1074620264006025266 #🏅wraid-allied-operation and #🆚pvp-tactical-challenge all be threads, under the same category of a channels similar to #💬gameplay-discussion
and have JFD be disabled when its down

[hardy cosmos]

if i aint wrong #💬gameplay-discussion works too for JFD

[woeful coral]

You are correct, it has nowhere near the same amount of uptime/activity as raid or pvp, enough to not consider it worthy of a permanent channel
Though, do you think a temporary channel would work better than a thread? Perhaps only usable during the jfd period and locked otherwise

Though I guess that's not that different to a thread
Well, I will pass the suggestion forwards

[latent sigil]

Honestly I don't see much of a point to threads either, it makes policing the server harder too because the population will spread out more

I would make a channel dedicated to rotation of events ex: raid, event, jfd all grouped together and then create threads under that category for people who wish to go into more indepth discussion or if the main chat is too crowded. Making the channels/threads exist only during the runtime of the events also reduces the amount of labor the mods would have to contribute for policing.

[young pawn]

bad idea for something as active as raid

its going to be another ba-discussion scenario where people who actually want to talk about it and go in depth will not feel welcome at all during downtimes

and considering that threads are also not easily visible to the normal user

and no its the opposite regarding policing
more threads mean more work, but actually rotating the threads themselves also add work

especially when there's like only two mods doing the gameplay related channels

and if youll notice the channels for raid pvp etc themselves also have threads in them so combining them into a singular channel is also more clutter

reduced visibility of threads also mean more instances of needing to redirect people to it

[lament iron]

can we have JFD channel?, Ok I see there is a thread, but its hard to find

[merry chasm]

I think all of the threads with important resources and active discussion should be moved to channels. Channels have very poor visibility. Most people will never see them unless somebody points them to the thread directly in chat. And then if you link them to the thread, you need to tell them to join the thread to find it again because most people simply don't know about that feature and would have a hard time finding the thread again...

Meanwhile power users tend to join threads and then they're basically no different from channels anyway.

[woeful coral]

Power user?

[merry chasm]

A power user is a user of computers, software and other electronic devices, who uses advanced features of computer hardware, operating systems, programs, or websites which are not used by the average user. A power user might not have extensive technical knowledge of the systems they use but is rather characterized by competence or desire to make the most intensive use of computer programs or systems.

User testing for software often focuses on inexperienced or regular users. Power users can require different user interface elements compared to regular and minimal users, as they may need less help and fewer cues. A power user might use a program full-time, compared to a casual or occasional user, and thus a program which caters to power users will typically include features that make the interface easier for experts to use, even if these features might be mystifying to beginners.

[woeful coral]

Well, thanks, though if it’s a large paragraph like this next time just dm instead of here

[young pawn]

I am once again asking for stricter moderation regarding spoilers outside of spoiler channels

[little rover]

What exactly are you looking for in regards to this

[young pawn]

Heavier punishment and less lax(stricter) judgement for spoilers

So people will actually feel the harm in spoiling

[little rover]

I can't go into how our punishment system works, but I can bring it up if it's been a serious issue

[young pawn]

Spoilers are stuff directly involved in the enjoyment of the game for a lot of people. And this goes double for spoilers that are from the JP-side only.

I would appreciate if it would be brought up, thanks.

From what I notice, people aren't afraid of posting spoilers because judgement is too lax and the punishment is practically nothing

[merry chasm]

Any punishment for spoilers should be reserved for people who deliberately spoil, not for people talking about story content when they don't know any better or it's by accident—in those cases, just delete the message and let them know that spoilers are not allowed and to talk in the appropriate channel instead.

[young pawn]

Intent I believe is not something easily judged. As someone could easily fake intents.

[merry chasm]

Give the benefit of the doubt as a starting point.

[young pawn]

At the very very least I personally think that it should at least be an instant official Dyno warning

A single warning is nothing so this is light enough, but if it gets repeated then that's grounds for a heavier punishment
Additionally, if it was the first instance of spoil while the person in question already has a warning for something else that's already a decent indicator of being less trustworthy.

Having a warning already means that the person should have at least revisited rules to know better too.

[merry chasm]

Unnecessary punishment like a warning for an honest mistake is not how to build trust and respect in a community. Mods can log the incident internally without handing out a warning.

[young pawn]

And that's what I was trying to at least change. It at least lets the user officially know that what they did is against the rules even if accidental. And if it was an upstanding user, it shouldn't be repeated anyway.

Warnings also expire as per the rules so it is also not a permanent mark.

[merry chasm]

Mods can tell them without handing out a warning.

[young pawn]

And that is what I was saying here

[mental mountain]

A warning isn't much anyway let's be real
If you actually care getting a warning should stop you from next time or at least make you more careful
If you don't care there will be repeated infractions and mods can get more severe at that point

[young pawn]

That mentality is making it seem like Spoiling is light (talking about Mew's message)

[young pawn]

Yes agreed

[merry chasm]

What you're suggesting is too heavy-handed and unnecessarily toxic, to be blunt. It's not conducive to a resonant community climate. With proper moderation that prioritizes building trusting and respect in the community, a community will largely self-moderate such minor issues. Your observation that there are people who don't respect the rules regarding spoilers is accurate, but you're not taking the community climate as a whole into account and what's causing that when you look for the cause, and the solution you propose doesn't take into account the effects on the climate either.

Punishing honest mistakes with a warning is never a good sign.

[young pawn]

A warning is simply a notice that there was something wrong, whether intentional or unintentional. As a mod has said before, "It is just a warning." Don't treat it as a punishment.
It is no different from verbally telling the user that its bad. The difference is that there's an official reference for the chance that the user is intentionally doing it. If it was not intentional then now the user knows that there's a proper channel for it and hopefully follows.
An official warning serves the same as a verbal warning in the act of notifying the user that there was something wrong. At the least malicious people will be punished accordingly should they repeat.
I believe this is lax enough.

[merry chasm]

The effect of an official warning and telling the person something like "please use the JP channel/story spoilers when you want to talk about xyz. Spoilers are not allowed in this channel" are not the same.

[young pawn]

Regardless, my suggestion is to do so. That will be your opinion and what I said is mine.
It is up to the team to decide.

This has gone too long and we should stop this here.

[merry chasm]

A general problem with the moderation that I have myself raised before is that moderators frequently fail to intervene in such a way in general, and they also frequently fail in general to punish members when the situation actually requires it. Which leads to a culture where simple rules like no spoilers or post fan art in #🎨fan-art are frequently ignored even with moderators present by members who know better.

[young pawn]

Yes I agree with that. Very much so. While I personally condemn random art posting in discussion channels, it is not exactly something that will damage a player's enjoyment of the game. While spoilers directly damage it. (I know I said let's stop it but let's treat that comment on moderation as a different issue )

[merry chasm]

I hate spoilers myself, but spoilers are also unfortunately something that will happen accidentally regardless of what rules you set. Best you can do is to encourage a culture where the active members are aware of it and respect the rules and won't hesitate to remind people "oh hey no spoilers here, move to x channel." But right now we have a culture where a lot of the time people will respond with something like "who cares? Mods aren't here " or something to that effect.

[young pawn]

ANd as you have said, the culture formed is already something that goes against that. Which is why I suggested better moderation against it.

Regarding on the Spoiler issue, wont point Moderation members for this, but yes in the Guidelines with weak punishment (seen from my perspective). Sometimes are the same members that send spoiler in the wrong channels even if they are already with the JP role and with Mod verbal warn.
To stop this problem, i will suggest to add a bot that we can report people directly with the correct evidence (image, exact time/date/channel etc) to start making a register on people that are repeating the same fault like spamming art in Discusion everyday or JP content outside the right channels since i only saw "Verbal warn + get JP role" and thats never enough to solve the problem.
Indeed, this will help to Moderation team to target the troublemakers faster 👍

[warm veldt]

Would it be possible to make Typo/Bug/Localisation Report thread into a permanent channel?

[woeful coral]

The thread was closed permanently due to the difficulty of managing the large quantity of reports.
If you have errors you would want to report, please use the in-game customer centre from now on.

[frigid python]

I suggest we make a separate Global and JP flex channels

1. yes acquiring a new character is flex worthy but it may cause a Global-only player to get spoiled of future contents
   (ex: Oh so this antagonist character eventually joins Sensei)

2. other BA discord have already separated their flex channels into Global and JP. What I thought when I joined this server that flexposting is applicable for both but some people here say to move JPflexes into jp-content channel as it contain future content.

3. to not flood the jp-content channel with recruitment screenshot every new banner. (And also they're now safe to post their gacha pulls/participate in discussion without being spoiled if JP flexes are separated from global flex.)

4. for me, i know when JPmaintenance is done when people start posting their new JPstudent pulls

5. Unlucky senseis that pull 200 (or more) without getting anything can share the pain/salt with their 200 recruitment points screenshot.

[merry chasm]

Speaking of JP channels... locking JP channel access behind a role gives those channels poor visibility and leads to even more players accidentally posting JP content in the other channels than otherwise. Members who want to hide the JP channels can just do that on their own anyway or minimize the category. And for some reason on top of that, the color for the JP role has only a 2.3:1 contrast ratio to the default discord dark mode when accessibility standards are at least 4.5:1 for small text. Even giving the role no color at all would be better.

[hardy cosmos]

Hello, this was talked in #🗣️ba-general with some mods but we dont know news about it. Just to clarify, this pin still working for the channels outside global? Because some people are sharing heavy spoilers in others channels or using ||spoiler tag|| even when is outside #💬jp-content #📕jp-story-spoilers (so people are avoiding rules without punishment)
Also if that pin is not in rule, i want to suggest a new one pin updated or maybe add as a rule in #guidelines because without that actually JP content is allowed in everywhere no matter the content.

[little rover]

Yes, all JP-related story needs to be in #💬jp-content

we will be working on making the channel rules more clearer soon

[merry chasm]

The "clarification" for spoilers that's pinned in #🗣️ba-general now is, frankly, very poorly conceived. Taken as is, it would completely cripple any discussion of or help with planning for future events, future banners, future wellfare students and how important they will be, future raids, what students will be important in the future—discussions and help that happen virtually all of the time in the server—unless those things are already announced for global. E.g., sharing a picture of Mika would be allowed, but discussing her gameplay would not be allowed because her skills etc. have not been announced for global.

A majority of the resources in #907478274807050250 and #905229231741628436 would be considered to contain spoilers.

I urge you to quickly rectify that.

[hardy cosmos]

Adding too that #🎨fan-art and #🎭ba-memes shouldnt be a exception to be able to share some JP content because some things there a heavy spoiler even if just a fan-art/meme because are literally the last update in JP servers and specifically in the Final Volume story like the next one:

[frozen birch]

well I got spoiled a lot of times just fishing for artworks and I don't mind, preventing the jp content in #🎨fan-art or creating another channel doesn't make any sense tbh

[merry chasm]

Discord has spoiler tags. Just requesting that fan-art is properly spoiler-tagged should be fine.

[hardy cosmos]

The point is, why some people are debating in #📕jp-story-spoilers the last update scenes as should be, and then others are able to just go that channels ( #🎨fan-art #wallpapers #🎭ba-memes) to use the same arts to send there even if the images are spoilers (or the fan arts too)?

[woeful coral]

The restrictions have been adjusted and shall also be posted in #🎨fan-art #wallpapers and #🎭ba-memes

[cedar trench]

I've Done 300 rolls now and not a Single Saori drop. Is the banner rates being lowered than what is advertised, Nexon??? Please address this.

[young pawn]

Sadly, thats just your luck being bad. And this isn't the channel for that since this is for the discord server.

[cedar trench]

Then a Lawsuit is in order then. i've contacted them on their support line, FB page and other social media with no Answer. They are definitely Tampering with the Rates again. It's Nexon doing this again

[young pawn]

Again, not the proper channel. But to put in perspective, theres a 12.15% chance of you not having any Saori at all from 300 Pulls

0.08% chance if it was 1000 Pulls

0.002% chance if it was 1500 Pulls

and the official rate for Saori on her banner is 0.7%

its more likely for you to get 0 Saoris in 300 pulls than it is to get her in 1 pull

[dawn zealot]

Having no-reply from their support is definitely concerning. But with a gacha game, missing pulls isn't out of line

[cedar trench]

Then what is this?

[young pawn]

ok i put in an extra 0 my bad, corrected it

[cedar trench]

0.07 or 0.70

[young pawn]

it is 0.7%

i was just being dumb at converting rate to percent

Regardless again not the proper channel

[cedar trench]

They are Definitely Tampering with the rates again.

[young pawn]

Stop acting like some spoiled brat

1. This is not the channel for that
2. 300 Is too low of a sample size

I can show you 8 copies in 200 pulls if you want and its not because of rates, its because of luck

Now move on and go to #🗣️ba-general or something

[cedar trench]

Well i'll spam this everywhere so people can see that they are Tampering with their rates again. Nexon cannot be trusted

[dawn zealot]

Frankly, I understand your gacha pain.
But this is just a fast-track ticket to getting reported and blacklisted

Inconveniencing the general population almost always hurts your case

[cedar trench]

Yeah, thats the only thing they are good at. Silencing people.

[calm sun]

First of all, actually move to #🗣️ba-general or sth. Im not mini mod but i dont want you to shoot yourself fr

[upper rain]

This is not the proper channel to be discussed as this channel only allows feedbacks and suggestions please move to #🗣️ba-general and as for your concern @cedar trench i dont think the rates are lowered or getting tampered its just a matter of luck and depends on the rate of the pull of what you get. Its not all the time we have a good pulls not unless you are saving and pulling her at all once to cover up the pity/spark.

[cedar trench]

Is it possible to add President Cherino emoji to this server?

[little rover]

do you have any were allowed to use?

[cedar trench]

I dont, are we allowed to use from blue archive club stickers or official digital merch or ingame images? If yes I can try to find something cool and make emoji out of it

[jolly wolf]

can we ban Dyno

or at least change the spam setting

I just type brrrrr rrrrrr and it warns me for spamming

💀

[little rover]

I'll see what I can do about the emote

Also no Dyno stays

[jolly wolf]

I mean yeah spam prevention is needed, but if just saying brrr gets your message deleted then thats just unnecessary 💀

[granite sun]

Guys, i need help :<

[woeful coral]

This is the channel for feedback on this discord server, if you need help with the game please go to #🔰gameplay-help

[granite sun]

did it but no one answer me :<

[woeful coral]

Ok, but this is not the place regardless
Please be patient, it may take some time before someone who can answer your question appears

[halcyon fable]

We really need a typo report channel.

Yes, I know they can be reported through official Nexon support form, but that takes way more time than just dropping reports here.

[woeful epoch]

We still redirect you to submit officially via ticket, it doesn't have complete info as requested like member code & UID.
Server, Nickname, Date & time, simple explanation of the typo, and attachments are enough. Just to fasttrack the reporting of that issue.

Other severe issues that is not typo & missing text, that needs complete account info.

Link for BA issue submission: https://cs-page.nexon.com/cc/report/guest/write?client_id=MjcwOA

[merry chasm]

I think a dedicated channel or maybe a thread in #🗣️ba-general for people to post and talk about their chats with BA AIs would be good, because those posts often interrupt other chats in the channel currently.

[young pawn]

(people cant even follow #🎨fan-art)

[merry chasm]

Cafe channel for the cafe enthusiasts among us.

[lilac moon]

Petition to change the name #1083630397218357319 into #artists-corner or something along those lines; I know the point of the forum is to post your own original artwork. and so if the Artist role is designed for #1083630397218357319 then it could go in tandem (also sorry but the forum name seems like a mouthful)

[latent sigil]

So that would be like a more civilized #💬off-topic ?

[merry chasm]

No, a channel for people to share screenshots of their cafe and discuss their cafe designs and stuff.

I recommend deleting all of these system messages in the #905229231741628436 thread.

[woeful coral]

I don’t know how to

I’m able to delete (pinned message) ones but not the name changes

Anyway, I will pass up the suggestions

[lilac moon]

You can't delete them sadly

[cedar trench]

Can you make Dyno send back the deleted message?
Sometimes you just typed a full on paragraph and then it got dyno’d cuz it contained a filtered word that you didn’t realize.

[ivory marsh]

can SRT role have better visible color?

uhm hello?

can i ask something abount account server?

or this is not the channel to ask for the question?

Nope, feedback for discord server. Refer to the #🔧technical-help instead

[terse stream]

ah, ok, thanks

[gleaming pulsar]

channel dedicated for students' birthday? reminded by a bot?

[young pawn]

#🎞️official-videos to an extent

[burnt bridge]

Change back to Global, because this is worse

[ivory marsh]

make the SRT role color little bit bright pls

[young pawn]

is there a plan for baog to participate or provide a channel or thread for the upcoming r/place

[woeful epoch]

When is this? Thought I take a look at it first.

Care to provide the event's info or something

[young pawn]

Not sure exactly when but its very early april

its uhh, in the r/place reddit where people will paint over a massive board, one pixel at a time

last year bac participated

and some people here

[woeful epoch]

Ahh yeah, did hear about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC_34B9aSOQ

[stray field]

It's not a yearly occurrence, some speculate every 5 years, but definitely not yearly.

[young pawn]

its not yearly but the communities are already alarmed that theres going to be one

[stray field]

Maybe, either way we passed the message up. We can maybe do something if Reddit actually confirms it's true

I've yet to see any concrete evidence, only thing that slightly tips it off to maybe being true is the fact that you can find the codename "GarlicBread" in Reddit's website source

[hardy cosmos]

this channel should be open to talk?

[cedar trench]

Why is there no option yet to re read momotalk, its such a pain to just go back on forth to re-read momotalk and story

Is it normal that there is not a voc channel ?

[little rover]

A voc channel?

[marsh grove]

think they mean voice

We have a voice chat channel, but only open it during special times

We can't leave vc open unsupervised for various reasons

[empty flint]

Is it possible to pin the 1st official manga? It's a bit tiring to scroll up

Oh OK thank you for the answer

[royal orchid]

Hello, could the mods/adms make the "FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions" Thread into a channel of its own to make users able to search with discord search engine.

whenever u search "in:faq" it gives u this, @signal sun said i should mention that too

[little rover]

yeah, it needs a massive update

ill bring it up with management

[royal orchid]

thank u vm, if only discord let u search the threads like they were channels

[severe heath]

yeah threads need to be more searchable

[woeful epoch]

Yeah, it's discord's limitation: Unable to search within a thread.

[severe heath]

huge discord skill issue

[torn escarp]

Can I ask for help, why is this?, bug?

[severe heath]

wrong channel to ask, this is for the discord server itself

pls go to #🔧technical-help and check pins

[reef locust]

I have a question. blue archive is about to launch the Chinese server. Will nexon forbid Chinese players to use VPN to play the global server after the launch of the Chinese server

[dawn zealot]

I don't believe that is knowledge privy to the mod team here, it'll likely only be known to Yostar CN and Nexon themselves
他们 Discord 服里面的 Mod 们应该都不会知道，大概只有悠星跟Nexon才知道

[woeful coral]

this channel is for feedback on the discord server, please ask game-server-related questions in #🔧technical-help

[young pawn]

I think I mentioned this privately to a mod before but I remember suggesting turning the FAQ/Guides section into a forum channel for accessibility and visibility

[cobalt tide]

I swear i never use kind of those thing

[reef locust]

Is it possible that nexon will prohibit players from using VPN services to play BA in the future
In my area, I need VPN service to play BA, so I am worried that nexon will disable VPN service, because this will make me unable to play BA

[woeful coral]

This is the channel for feedback on the discord server, not the game

Add Jp flex zong when 🤔

[ebon mirage]

So. I feel like there's gotta be a better way to run the club recruitment channel
It feels like it's the same 5 clubs running advertisements. Kinda difficult to find anything for my lvl55 NA server ass

[still junco]

I’m level 56 on NA and in the same boat

[woeful epoch]

Then time go to back to basic on finding the club.
Go to Blue Archive game app > Club > keep tapping on the Refresh, it's gonna be a trial & error until you found a desired club to stay on.

[exotic niche]

I think this is where this belongs.

I wanted to say I love the quality of the emotes and stickers here. Absolutely amazing and have been spamming my friends with them.

My one bit of advice is to have more for other characters, some more variety. Game has a lot of cool characters and would be nice to see as many of them have some representation in my opinion.

And yes overall fun server

[red garnet]

I absolutely love how dedicated the community is to gather all the relevant art in one place

This server is one of the main reasons I keep playing. Thank you all

[tiny loom]

add more emoji+stikers

[elfin drift]

Can i get artist role since i participated in the white day contest

[little rover]

Let me look into this

[hardy cosmos]

Regarding the announcement on #game-news , we will get the link in that same channel or we need to wait until they open the website? (actually I didnt find the link thats why Im asking)

[atomic hemlock]

The role has been given to you, we are sorry for the inconvinient that happened

[elfin drift]

Alright thanks

[atomic hemlock]

The link to schale store will be updated on separated announcement later once it reach the opening time

[winged mirage]

Pls, fix this

It stays on the loading screen, in my country.

[hardy cosmos]

Try in #🔧technical-help

[winged mirage]

I tried it there too and told him about it on twitter. The game is blocked without any reason for my country, I can download it but when I start it, it stays there, something that does not happen to my friends in other countries. 😦

[woeful coral]

This is the channel for feedback on the discord server, not the game

the most that can be done here is asking you to move to #🔧technical-help

[cedar harness]

Can’t you guys specify how long the mute last in dyno dm?

[mortal nest]

Will there be a modmail system implemented? It's obvious that a good portion of the recent new users joined with no intention of following the rules, while there also isn't an existing method that can let us report incidents to available moderators.

The existing moderator alerting methods are:

• DM's
• Pings (that can put users in harm)

And even then, there's no guarantee for the notified moderator to be immediately available.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to implement a modmail system that allows moderators to take on an optional role which lets them get pinged whenever a modmail thread is created? This way, user report anonymity is also guaranteed and prevents the mod pingers be attacked.

Additional question:
Do artists submit self-drawn emojis here to be reviewed?

[little rover]

We are currently looking into implementing a better system to contact Moderators! It's just taking a bit

For now just dm or ping mods until we get it running

[young pawn]

I was ordered to drop by here if I had comments so I will do just that.
Based on my prior knowledge of the three mods:
1 is giving me a lot of red flags
1 is giving me no red flags but lack enough info to know if its a good one
1 is someone i have no prior knowledge of.
That's all. Thank you.

[spring wagon]

Any chance this getting implemented?

[keen flare]

Would you guys considering changing the #student-info channel into an annoucement channel like #game-news?
Right now it's impossible to follow it in my own server, and with twitter API breaking I can't rely on twitter bots anymore to get the updates.

[keen flare]

Ah that's a shame, dammit discord.

[signal sun]

Heya, I just wanted to follow up on this. I transferred all the FAQs to https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/GameplayHelp_FAQs. It should be much easier to navigate and search.

[little rover]

Its currently on the list of major changes we want to make

I know it's been a while and I'd like to apologize to everyone waiting on some changes, but for internal reasons it's been very slow to change

FAQ revamp is on the list of changes

[raven rivet]

id suggest also keeping the faq available in discord if possible. the wiki has had some issues in the past, even as recently as track 1 which made viewing the event info imposible. if there are future issues and it affects text pages, then all faq is inaccessable. having the info in 2 locations creates a failsafe if 1 service becomes unavailable. or maybe a public view google doc with all of the into thats posted in discord that contains the info to serve the same purpose, but also keeps discord clean.

[signal sun]

99% of that page is just simple text, links to guides, and pictures. There’s a handful of embedded icons, but those and the pictures aren’t necessary. So basically if Mirahaze breaks down again, that page won’t be affected much.
One of the major benefits of the wiki is centralize all the info. It was already a pain managing 2 discord copies, especially since each question was its own section for easier linking. So adding more copies kinda defeats that benefit.

[signal sun]

If we had a bot or something that could transfer any new data over, I’d be down lol

[raven rivet]

for sure, a bot would make it much easier lol. was just expressing a concern since the wiki has had a few issues. wanted to make sure the help info would be accessable. i cant imagine the work that goes in for maintaining the info, even moreso if multiple locations need to be kept in sync. no easy solution.

[winter fulcrum]

excuse me, just a quick doubt. I cant access the FAQ topic on #🔰gameplay-help anymore . Is there something I can do?

[raven rivet]

#📝server-feedback message 6 messages up in this channel. it was moved.

[winter fulcrum]

I see, thank you for answering. My apologies for any bothering.

[signal sun]

I just added the event and FAQs wikis to #🔰gameplay-help pins, and cleaned up the extra junk, so it should be easier to find

#🔰gameplay-help message

[young pawn]

Yes but no, I know from experience with gbf.wiki that if something happens, its going to affect all pages.

[signal sun]

Well, if it goes down I’ll just paste it somewhere I guess

[burnt bridge]

i have a suggestion, on the days the Moderators know that JP releases banners or the seems, disable image permissions in #🗣️ba-general for the sole purpose of nobody spoiling shit.
the duration could be the entirety of the day of the new banners, or 3 days straight for safety.

[young pawn]

[gacha] banners in general do not count as spoilers

im against disabling image perms but i am for fully cracking down on [actual] spoilers

[sage shale]

kinda dumb since people ask for what next banners are upcoming next. Basically any future banners that haven't been announced in EN should be #💬jp-content at that point, no? Going by that logic, only T. Yuuka and T. Mari are the latest non-jp content characters. Any other future banners are gonna be regarded as spoilers smh my head. Also, as we can see here some are looked out for like Mika's banner. Banners should be fine as they don't entail any relevant plot spoiler and moreover if they were already seen in EN.

[woeful epoch]

Action item for that: The usual advice / reminder for them to delete & relocate JP content channel that is accessible by JP role (via #assignable-roles)

Make a habit for others & even the new ones until they learned or... if still continued, I guess they be escalated.

[burnt bridge]

well that's why at the day of banner/release of information, revoke the image perms of the chat 90% of the members here will look at so nobody will get ''accidentally'' spoiled even though ''accidentally'' is 100 TIMES throughout the day.

so they can post it in JP role, and channel, but severely strict/cut-off even the possibility in the global chat, for a couple of days.

[desert cosmos]

Maybe just a small addition to #🔰gameplay-help pins, is to add a note or screenshot regarding Claiming Student Elephs from Expert Shop doesn't allow you to receive the Limited Student in topic.

I've seen people who accidentally claim them and later realize that they're not able to receive those Students.
So hopefully this gives them heads up before doing so.

I also know that there's a notice about this in game too but it's usually overlooked on numerous occasions.

[young pawn]

~~know what, I take that back
I'd be all for indefinitely disabling all image perms in #🗣️ba-general ~~

[signal sun]

It’s in the FAQs multiple times, and it warns you in-game before you buy it, every single time.
We’ve been working on keeping the GPH pins as concise as possible; when there’s too much stuff, you end up glossing over it. So I’d prefer to leave that bit out for now (cause you could add a million other important things too, the list doesn’t stop).
We do encourage players to buy fest char elephs, since it’s possible to spook them, and vets have extra permits anyways.
If Graplo wants it in there though, I’ll add it

[woeful coral]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[signal sun]

Heya, would it be possible to get a bot that spits out schedules like this? (These auto adjust to your time zone).
I’m not sure if it’s a custom bot or something you can borrow. @sleek geyser might know

[signal sun]

https://discordbotlist.com/bots/announce And then you modify it to do what you want

“add that to your server, set commands, and make sure no one else can modify it on the server”

[gritty fox]

May we reconsider the current ban on the C word?

[little rover]

No, that is non-negotiable

Due to Discord ToS, Nexon and how it gets used we cannot remove that word or its counterparts from the banned word list

[gritty fox]

Ok

[young pawn]

I just saw this and wanted to suggest that, since Hyrian is already busy with real-life obligations, you should consider removing his moderator status. Even if he wasn't busy, the fact that he had an over-the-top reaction to someone commenting on his complaining about his real-life obligations in the gameplay-theory channel isn't appropriate for a moderator.
While at it since he did mention to send concerning things here, I would also like to add that the only time Hyrian ever responded to my reports to him was on the first day of him being MiT. Everything after that was fully ignored with not a spec of response. Everytime I send a notice to him I check if he's actually online at that time so I think that they are being purposely ignored. I believe I mentioned this behavior to some other mods who I redirected the reports to in place of Hyrian.

[little rover]

This matter has been dealt with internally, but thank you for bringing it up.
Also in regards to your comment of " I send a notice to him I check if he's actually online at that time so I think that they are being purposely ignored." Just because someone is online doesnt mean theyre always available. Like most people, alot of mods have discord open in the background. It doesn't necessarily mean theyre available.

[young pawn]

well I did check that he was talking at those times

[little rover]

In regards to your reports of checking if hes online, id highly advise that you stop trying to nitpick such small non-issues with specific mods. Its very concerning that you keep tabs on something like "not being available exactly when i want them to be"

[young pawn]

well some of them anyway

And this was mentioned before but a full lack of response/acknowledgement of receipt even after a week has passed is easily taken ignored

[little rover]

As long as the issue is taken care of or reviewed, its fine

[young pawn]

Yep, just adding some concerning comments

to the actual report above

Since Hyrian did say to send comments about anything that makes us not feel at ease

[little rover]

Correct, youre welcome to make reports

I take them very seriously

Just please make sure they are actual reports, and not "this mod isnt here 24/7"

or something along the lines of that

Thank you

[young pawn]

yea it wasn't a report about activity but more of a comment that "mod was here talking and i sent a few reports but a week has passed and there is still nothing indicating the mod received it at all"

[little rover]

Understood

I will pass it along

[winged quail]

Hey I just noticed something of serious concern, I used to moderate and administrate discord servers and this is some seriously concerning behaviour of a moderator in training. I don't believe this kind of response is justified, there is never any reason to threaten a user trying to bring attention a fake / bot account. I hope that something is done seriously about this as I do not wish to see this server have the same pitfalls that some of the servers I used to moderate in the past have fallen into.

To add onto the above, a moderator doesn't necessarily have to be available 24/7, that's unreasonable to ask for a volunteer position. However a volunteer should also keep in mind their own limitations of ability and availability; for the general public, if a moderator is online then they will automatically defer to them for help, sending an angry message in response to a valid concern from a user displays immaturity too and reflects poorly on the moderation team as a whole and decreases trust.

[little rover]

As stated earlier, the concern was handled internally. Thank you

[young pawn]

As much as I understand the desire to be lenient with offtopic in #🗣️ba-general, the allowed "offtopic when theres no one talking anyway" is causing some people to actually refrain from talking about BA. And on the cases when people actually post about BA it just ends up getting flooded out by the offtopic.

Im of the opinion that its better to keep the chat quiet to allow people to actually start actual conversations about BA than let it overflow with offtopic that will make people uncomfortable with starting anything or end up unseen.

At some point it really is better to just get stricter with it

Look at the excuses people are making now

It's making #🗣️ba-general unwelcoming to actual ba discussion whenever there's offtopic

people/mods saying things like "go talk about BA then" isn't exactly helpful when the atmosphere is like that

[little rover]

We will be pushing out a more specific and clear notice of the rules regarding offtopic in chat

Its been pretty vague so I'll try to push that out soon

Already said this before but

Petition to change the name #1083630397218357319 into #artists-corner or something along those lines; I know the point of the forum is to post your own original artwork. and so if the Artist role is designed for #1083630397218357319 then it could go in tandem (also sorry but the forum name seems like a mouthful)

This channel is for feedback on the discord server, not the game.

[cedar trench]

Can we get a channel for our best girl or Waifu in this game.

[woeful coral]

Would you mind elaborating on your suggestion?

[cedar trench]

An entire channel hist to show off our favorite skins and characters.

[mental notch]

idk, shiroko approves or simply call shirokoapprob emoji

[dawn zealot]

A more general extension to this:
Are there future plans to introduce more emotes? As we've been receiving new students in-game, the server's current roster is feeling limited...

A possible method is the cycling of new emotes on a regular basis as the members use them. I'm seeing the last emote update was made Feb. 16 in #community-news, so maybe a monthly cycling-in of new emotes for new students would work? (I'm imagining this in the manner the AK Official server does it)

[woeful coral]

Emotes can only be added with the original artist’s approval.

[woeful coral]

There are no set plans to add emotes in the future
It may happen after an emote contest or if we get the rights to use an artist’s emotes, but I can’t say of any fixed timeframes

Thanks for the suggestion.

[mental notch]

aw ok

[blissful rover]

I am one of the winners of the playkeyboard event and supposed to message Akooo.
However they only accept DMs from friends. Am i missing sth or just supposed to add them?

[dawn zealot]

You can DM them without being friends on Discord, only difference is that Akooo will have to accept your message request to see it

[blissful rover]

Oh alright, the discord error seemed to suggest the message is not being sent at all. Will hope it did work then ^^

[frozen birch]

pretty sure you're not supposed to send the message here, but I will still answer. I'm 50% sure if you disabled messages from people on this server that aren't your friends, it will do the same when you try to message someone who is not your friend. if you have several servers in common, even if only one of those has dms disabled, it will not work. take that with a grain of salt.

[severe heath]

refer to the message above. Try to check ur server settings if u didnt disable messages from people in this server

this happened to me before and this is usually the solution

granted that the other person didnt also disable messages

but im certain that akooo didn’t disable their DMs

[blissful rover]

It was the server settings indeed. Thanks for your help even though this may not have been the correct channel for my question :)

[woeful epoch]

This is discord server feedback.

For JP, have to be with Yostar Game Support: https://bluearchive.jp/contact-1-hint This is probably their support link I dunno

[pliant berry]

Thx u

[fast pagoda]

Btw, can we get more off-topics, we can't chat normally on #💬off-topic when there are a lot of different convos, for example : #💬off-topic -2 and #💬off-topic -3

[quiet atlas]

I’d like to propose a rule that the posting of videos/gifs/images of recollection lobbies not be allowed outside of #📕story-spoilers

I’ve had numerous spoiled for me, including characters I was looking forward to

I imagine the joy I would have gotten out of them if I had been surprised by them and it makes me sad

[median latch]

Can we turn #club-recruitment-old-old into a forum style instead? It's just the same few clubs spamming the place otherwise

[torn otter]

Is there a possibility to create a new Chat in the Media Corner for "AI generated pictures"? some people post AI Stuff in the #wallpapers and (rarely) in #🎨fan-art , which get called out by other community members. it should be easier for people to distinguish self made art and AI stuff.
I dont know how many people actually want this but i think its a good idea

[quiet atlas]

Why are words for gestation dyno banned

[young pawn]

Since the topic came out, I would suggest going in detail what trolling means because we have people like this

Add just to add, the topic of "what trolling is" came up before too with the same person. So I just sent these https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/897744969769549875/1104612497178243123/image.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/897744969769549875/1104612798895505519/image.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/897744969769549875/1104613030484004900/image.png
I would leave the decision to the mod team to define what exactly is trolling

Note that this is not a complaint, just asking for rule clarifications

[quiet atlas]

It should be noted that chatGPT derives from common narratives when there is no established authority on a matter, not necessarily accurate ones.

[young pawn]

Doesn't need to be an authority nor an accurate narrative since its just to provide some idea and its up to the mod team to decide if it applies or not

[quiet atlas]

Why is the word d*ujin(shi) auto modded? It just refers to amateur manga.

Well technically self-published, but usually that’s because it’s done by amateurs

[unborn dock]

literally in the guidelines, if people would read them

[quiet atlas]

They are not inherently nsfw

Many nsfw titles are published as them, but that’s like saying that internet videos are nsfw just because some of them are

[unborn dock]

first of all turn off the ping
secondly, that specific type of manga is quite literally always associated with R18 or nsfw content. it's not a surprise they would filter the word.

[quiet atlas]

In the west

And it’s an association

Just because the only ones they know about are nsfw doesn’t mean the word should be banned

[young pawn]

Doesn't really matter if the word is inherently nsfw or not. What matters is the context that people use it with. A quick google of "d0ujin" will immediately spout more than a few nsfw stuff. To which case it is easily and more popularly associated to nsfw.

While it is not inherently nsfw, "crab" is also used to denote nsfw. At this point it isn't banned (yet) tho. But if we reach a point where the nsfw context is the more popular one I can imagine it being banned too.

[quiet atlas]

A quick google of “anime” will immediately spout out more than a few nsfw stuff lol

[young pawn]

Now that's just on your search history

[quiet atlas]

Why are non-mods responding to this anyways? That can’t be particularly helpful.

[young pawn]

Because if you want only mods to respond, go DM them instead.
And if you want to argue about search history, I specifically used a fresh remote desktop connection to do the test.

[woeful epoch]

The term is indeed has 2 sides of a coin but unfortunately after the observations, the way the community used it here has raise an eyebrow. It's a moving forward item as this server is growing.

[frozen birch]

this is so true tho

[ashen dragon]

Minor, yet something I just wanted to speak in case I might not be the only one. But is there any way we can get rid of the emoji icons next to the channel names? Looks too out of place. Especially since this is the first server I've seen that even has them.

[frozen birch]

I got those Icons recently too.

[little rover]

i dont see any icons next to any chat names

[unborn dock]

yeah I don't.. see those either

[dawn zealot]

Maybe it's the client they have installed? Or possibly Discord Devs are doing a limited rollout of a feature?

It's not present on mine either

[frozen birch]

thx for the screen

I can confirm it happened, as for me it was on several servers, I currently have normal icons

[dawn zealot]

Adding more information: I've confirmed via another server I'm in this is a Discord-side implementation. It's still in the process of rolling out to every client

[ashen dragon]

confirmed that the icons are gone now. Cheers

[severe heath]

it’s a feature discord rolled out and then reverted back. i think u just need to restart your client to get rid of it

unless they added it back

[ashen dragon]

still gone on my end

it was weird since this server was the only one that had the icons

just worsened the already bad clutter having discord on a vertical monitor does

[severe heath]

noted 👍

[ornate aspen]

Could you please remove the emojis and mentions restrictions/ limits for the club recruitments channel: #1108580004234797066
That'll be really helpful. Thanks!

[severe heath]

idk what’s causing you guys to not be able to use emotes cuz we checked and the settings for it are all ✅

anw this is noted

[ornate aspen]

It's not about the emotes but the limits of emotes & mentions that you can use in a single message. Kindly allow it for only one channel: #1108580004234797066 by removing limit restrictions by the bot: @dusky loom for that specific channel.

[severe heath]

so the problem is you get dyno’d for using above the specific amount of emotes in that channel?

[ornate aspen]

That's right, for both emotes & mentions.

[severe heath]

huh, ill forward this info

[ornate aspen]

Thanks!

[severe heath]

update: we have added #1108580004234797066 as an exception for the mass mention rule. please report back if the issue persists

[ornate aspen]

Thanks!
But what about emotes limits?

[severe heath]

that should be solved too, again please report back if the issue persists

[ornate aspen]

Thank you so much!

[median latch]

Thank you for taking my suggestion. 🙏

[lilac moon]

#guidelines message
I would recommend updating this, including the new #1108580004234797066 and #1108594770332373143, by the way when will #joint-firing-drill open back up?

[woeful coral]

JFD channel opens whenever a new JFD starts and closes when it ends

And sure, I’ll pass the suggestion

[lilac moon]

[young pawn]

Piggybacking on this, can we allow more images per message in #🆚pvp-tactical-challenge especially when sharing logs

[torn otter]

Same for #🎨fan-art and #wallpapers if possible

[void night]

would it be possible to have a music channel for sharing covers?

[severe heath]

imo it should fall under #🎨fan-art or #1083630397218357319 since it is also considered as fan art

if you want a standalone one for reasons, ill just take note of it for now

[void night]

thats fair, I just thought it would be nice to have one dedicated for people who want to browse among only covers

seems to be a niche need so its fine to keep them in the fan art channels too

[woeful epoch]

Updated the attachment limit to 6 files only, across all channels.

[young pawn]

thanks.

[hollow orbit]

do you think you could use unix timestamp instead of stating UTC in #game-news for maintenance windows?

it's a cool way to display local time regardless of what timezone someone is in

for example, I could type <t:1685430360:f>

which is <t:1685430360:f>

on my screen I see this:

but if you're in a different timezone, it will display the same moment but converted to your timezone

unix timestamps can be found by entering a time and date into this website
https://www.unixtimestamp.com/

I just think it would be a lot more convenient if announcements displayed as <t:1685412000:f> to <t:1685430000:t> instead of 02:00 to 07:00 UTC

also you can use <t:insert timestamp here:t> to display just the time

[atomic hemlock]

We understand on how this things works but we also don't know if these unix will works on forum, coz any news, info, etc is posted there and redirect there as well....lemme pass the suggestion incase its able to do that

[hollow orbit]

ah I see

[atomic hemlock]

After asking it to the nexon staff itself, unfortunately outside discord that unix timestamp code cannot be used on any social media platform at all....so we will keep using standard time which is UTC and you can just convert it to your local time

If you struggle on how long maintenance last for example, you can just refer to the pins at #🗣️ba-general

[hollow orbit]

yeah I have no trouble converting to UTC

[atomic hemlock]

Alright, ty for the suggestion

[hollow orbit]

👍

[arctic hornet]

Can we have these as emotes

[young pawn]

Hello, I just got home and my mod-mail channel was closed and I don't know what happened to it.
I'm assuming a mod intentionally closed it. I would appreciate it if it could be reactivated. Additionally in the future please do avoid closing those tickets without the knowledge of the user as those tickets are specifically made for better communication between the two parties.

[woeful epoch]

I'll ask, but Tia confirm he replied to your ticket. As for closing without confirmation, I'll ask.

[young pawn]

Thank you, I will wait

[young pawn]

Hi is there an update regarding this :)

[woeful epoch]

no reply yet but it's weekend already uuggghh

[young pawn]

Well if you happen to have access im fine with just getting screenshots of the entire ticket. Also to please avoid the same thing from happening in the future.

[woeful epoch]

nope, that's why had to wait for reply from the Admin.

just to confirm the reply/action then how it get closed.

[young pawn]

I see, thanks.

[signal sun]

Hiya. We’re kinda in dire need of a #pve channel. #🗣️ba-general is supposed to be that, but it’s impossible to have meaningful conversations without being drowned out by spam.
I’d like to suggest converting the JFD/theory channel to something like #events-pve-JFD (whatever you guys feel is best).

[woeful coral]

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll pass it up and see what can be done

[signal sun]

Thanks a bunch!

[inland vine]

A question, in the gameplay-info thread under community guides there is still Stokkie's old banner guide that stops with Himari's banner

I know that in gameplay-help you can find the new one pinned but I was wondering if that one could also be updated?

[woeful coral]

I’ve updated it

[torn otter]

We need more Mods looking at the #🎨fan-art chat. If you call someone out on posting yabai stuff all you end up in is an argument on them defending the post because its "less yabai than something else" and its kinda tiresome 🫠

Also please dont just delete pictures in said channel, give the one posting it an explanation for your actions because those, who call them out, will be the stupid ones for... well, calling them out.

[little rover]

We did

Well, I did

[torn otter]

Thank you Watsen, good job :3 but it keeps on happening sadly. this one today was definitely worse than the other times though.

[little thicket]

sticker suggestion?

[little wharf]

Emoji suggestion

Pls

[flint trellis]

I'm leaving the feedback of not censoring the word "dojin" (You know the original one)

I know for filthy bakagaijin, it's basically directly connected for R18 material, but this is just not culturally correct I think, there is for example the situation of the Bocchi the Rock author, who made a BA dojin that's not R18 material at all, there is also probably some other "dojin music" related going somewhere, games, etc

So, uncesoring the original words seems a bit more correct, despite what meaning it usually brings first

[young pawn]

Related: #📝server-feedback message

[flint trellis]

Make this the pfp of the server when Mika banner drops

[woeful coral]

It is as the conversation linked by midokuni says, due to how the word is almost always used, it has been deemed not appropriate to say, so it will stay censored

As for the image suggestions,
@little thicket @little wharf
They will be passed up for consideration

And ansel’s too, though I already pinged you

[flint trellis]

It's good, I didn't saw the topic until I was mentioned on it, so while I think it's wrong, I absolutely understand the situation, so, understandable and thanks for takin the time either way

I think Mods need to make new channel for Oji-san only by seeing many of us need daily dose of Oji-san there to avoid the sticker spam of Oji-san too on #wallpapers
please

[rugged furnace]

Can someone actually make a concrete list of stuff that can be considered banned content because they're considered spoilers?

[young pawn]

not a concrete list but should cover the obvious

[rugged furnace]

We can say Kisaki but not Shiroko Terror,
We can reference main story stuff but only the starting parts and not the later parts

We can have non playable characters appear (or at least mentioned) in the story but the moment they become playable in JP they're suddenly banned from general

[gaunt gulch]

That's about chars only no?

If spoilers it should be storyline or smth

[hardy cosmos]

the continuation of the pin.

[loud horizon]

should add meme non BA on off-topic section

[woeful epoch]

The former got nuked due to numerous infringement so no.

[young pawn]

I would like to respectfully request that pins to not put entire blocks of text in bold and only put them for phrases/words that actually need emphasis. Main reason I ask of this is because walls of bold text can be visually straining for readers. When text is set entirely in bold, it increases the visual weight of the text and can make it harder for the eyes to scan and process the information. It can also create a sense of visual overload and make it difficult for readers to distinguish individual words and sentences.

Reading large blocks of bold text for an extended period can lead to eye fatigue and discomfort. It's generally recommended to use bold text sparingly for emphasis or highlighting specific information rather than applying it to entire walls of text. This allows for better readability and a more comfortable reading experience.

case in point:

Please either only use bold text on the key points or don't use bold text at all.

Especially since in theory, a pin is supposed to be something that you want readers to actually read. Presenting it this way is an obnoxious way of formatting.

While this case is specifically for @atomic hemlock's post, I hope this would be taken into consideration for future posts too.

Thank you.

Not the place for ad hominem

[young pawn]

So as to help with the formatting I would suggest something like:

## Server Maintenance

Server maintenance has started and is expected to finish <t:1687856400:R> or <t:1687856400:f> of your local time. (maintenance duration may change at any time, information on changes will be notified further)

Keep in mind, because this update is **very large**, it is highly recommended for sensei who has minimal storage capacity to provide room for this update!!

And also use a stable network connection to download data and avoid corrupted data!!

Lastly voice chat channel (VC) will be opened accordingly when maintenance is completed!!```
with Server Maintenance being the header instead of the entire paragraph. Putting the timestamps in the header will make the time hard to read.

This is modeling it on the current maintenance notice. This format can be reused for future notices too.

Adjust as desired, but please don't put too many things in the headers.

[woeful epoch]

OK, he updated it like 20mins ago.

[solid vapor]

Hello. Might I interest you in an idea I neglected to notice before? The problem is that @soft vine adds the local NA time, so it's a bit of a hassle to look out for our timezone. I have noticed @little rover do that in his pinned posts. Could you implement the auto-generated timezone in your announcements, like Watsen did? Thanks.

mb. How @woeful epoch does that in their posts.

[woeful epoch]

Ahh yeah. that's already answer though.

[woeful epoch]

this one

[solid vapor]

Oh I see.

The problem is that Akooo still implements in discord the local time. I don't mean outside discord.

[solid vapor]

And I think you need a programmer to implement it, but I dunno if it'll work in forums. I have never seen it work before, tbh.

[atomic hemlock]

While its fine to post feedback or suggestion but please refrain pinging admin at all cost in future

Simply just state akooo name

[solid vapor]

Oh, so Akooo is the other admin? 💀

[atomic hemlock]

Yeah and without any consent prevent to ping any admin in future, we will relay the message to akooo if there is feedbacks or suggestion that require their permission

[solid vapor]

Oh, cool.

[cedar trench]

I would like to suggest making the filter on the 🦀 word into an exact filter rather than indiscriminate.
Random words and emotes unrelated to it got deleted thanks to that.

For example, this emote

[tranquil moon]

where i can submit a feedback about the game?

[signal sun]

Settings -> account -> customer center 3x -> report an issue -> make a suggestion

[unkempt urchin]

is there an issue im missing with #1108594770332373143 , im not allowed to post and i dont see any posts in it

checked the rules and everything and i dont see anything about it being closed

[woeful coral]

Is this the first time you’re checking the channel or a sudden issue after things have gone fine before?

[unkempt urchin]

first time, i havent checked it since the change to threads

[woeful coral]

Well, just in case, restart the app to see if that fixes anything, if not I’ll go make sure the channel’s functioning properly

[unkempt urchin]

aight will do

[young pawn]

checked on my end and seems to be no issues

[unkempt urchin]

oh ye

restarting discord fixed it lol

thanks

i can see stuff now just cant post

ah nvm

i gotta go in the threads per region

but ye discord restart fixed it , cheers

[woeful coral]

[obtuse whale]

Hey

[woeful coral]

Do you have feedback to give concerning this discord server?

[cedar trench]

Is my suggestion above being considered?
The aggressive filter deleting unrelated words and emotes is frustrating.

[woeful coral]

Yes, it is being considered

[woeful epoch]

Adjusted accordingly.

[slender nexus]

Twitter has started blocking unregistered users. Would it be possible to have a channel to view Blue Archive's twitter feed on Discord?

[woeful epoch]

At the moment, even bot is also affected by it so kindly refer to other official channels below:
Official Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EN.BlueArchive
Official Game News: https://forum.nexon.com/bluearchive-en/

Or well, as you mentioned unregistered user so... the option to register for a twitter account for free is wide open.
