That could have been me yesterday except I didn't get Essex... |
 |
| The wild incompetent adventures of EN servers continue with the "1st anniversary" event livestream LOL. Leaked social media passwords and a trash stream. But hey, we get a free ring and gems so we'll pretend this never happened. woooooooooo @Tannhauser Mikasa finally coming in October for you. |
join the hyper going home club!  |
| @Reina_Orikasa Wow, so I have to wait even longer than I already had? Honestly, at this point I'm more interested to know what took them so long to release her than getting the event. Also, can you elaborate on what happened during the stream? @HanamiDango Hopefully you got her by now, assuming you wanted to get her in the first place. Might be unpopular opinion, but Essex > Taihou. |
| @Tannhauser They were logging into people's social media accounts and leaked the passwords/username live. Not to mention choppy/laggy stream and audio. It was so bad they took down the livestream VOD from YouTube and posted a shitty 7 min recap instead LOL. You can read the reactions (and explanations that are better than mine) on the subreddit. Honestly I'm not surprised it happened. I feel like the EN team sometimes aren't even playing the game they are localizing. Buggy patches that need hotfixes, lack of QA (looking at you Akashi artbook), and (this one is personal) trash performance on flagship Android phones. Don't get me wrong, the game is still a fun way to pass some time. But I'm getting turned off (and very hesitant to spend money on the game) by the way the devs are handling this game and the lack of care for the community who are more interested in low-effort memes rather than holding a dev accountable for bugs. |

Might be unpopular opinion, but Essex > Taihou. The only event ship I got so far is Taihou but she's one of the main reasons I play Azur Lane to begin with so I'm happy. Then again I intend to try to get them all. Unpopular opinion or not, we all have our favourite ships. :) |
|
| @Reina_Orikasa Eh, I'm not actively using Reddit, so if it's not too much to ask, can you provide me with the link or quote the explanations? I do agree with what you've said about EN team, though, and I still can't comprehend the attitude community has towards the mistakes devs make. @HanamiDango Yeah, I didn't mean anything serious by that remark. Congratulations on getting your favorite ship. |
| @Tannhauser Sure: Some poor IT people got yelled at and 4chan anons translated what they said (don't have 4ch link sorry) u/square_smile adds a comment about how unprofessional that was: u/fusionaceblus does a good job explaining their thoughts: I honestly really wish I could find a link for the actual livestream VOD instead of the 7-min recap they put on YouTube so you can experience the "shipwreck" yourself but no luck at the moment. |

If you're a professional of looking through archives, this was the original link to the livestream. https://youtu.be/DbXTL_yxHKY (You won't see anything in it if you aren't.) The closest piece of live video you're going to get is a meme of the ending with the anniversary cake here. https://youtu.be/ewAgimqYpwQ |
| Yeah that livestream was hilarious... At least we got some nice rewards out of it. Also I really thought they would announce Iowa considering the event literally took place on the ship. Weird to have it there when she's not even in the game. |
 What's the difference? |
| Don't forget to vote for best girl and best waifu Bismarck in the popularity poll |
What's the difference? |
| I'm waiting to see how the anime will be now, and if the PS4 game will be censored lol actually probably. |

| It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person. |
Gorochu said: Wait how do I do that? I haven't login for a while. You can vote through their website and you can also vote in game. There are daily tasks you do that award you voting tickets, which you can use to vote for whatever ship you want. You can also clear stages in the story mode to get voting tickets. |
What's the difference? |
| Washington doesn't have much of a shot, but she's getting my votes. |
| Just voted Bismarck. Her event is the best one so far. Who did you guys vote or rooting for? |

| I may sound like a broken record, but there's no Mikasa in the poll so there's no reason for me to vote. Actually, I don't see much point in a popularity poll anyway. The only good thing that can come out of it is new skins or events for popular shipgirls, but there's really nothing surprising in the top-10 right now besides Essex being placed No. 5, but that may be related to her being one of the newest ships on EN, she's currently No. 27 on JP. |
| Can't vote for a ship that I don't have so I'm just going to vote for Akgai and Monarch, and they're both my favorite. |
| "It's not like I wanted a signature or anything...BAKA!" - A MAL user. |
| Erebus cracking the top 100 is a win I guess. *sigh* it's not like any of the characters I like will break the top 10/15. |

| Too many favorites to vote a single ship so I distributed mine to some of my most loved ones. It's not like it'll make a difference anyway. Still can't believe Amagi is dominating the top spot. Btw, any of you guys interested in updating upcoming AL anime's database with more characters? I can volunteer for some of my favorites but I'd like some company. At least they're in the trailer. Or am I putting the cart before the horse? |
RenkiniSep 3, 2019 11:12 PM
 |
| I voted for Long Island (because she was the first ship I got except Laffey),Ise (because Mutsumi Tamura) and Souryuu (because hot bunny girl with glasses). Also, I think they need some love and support. |

| Just started this a week ago with a couple of friends. Loving it so far, it's a lot of fun. To be honest, I was totally waifu baited by the anime but hey that's what the anime was for wasn't it? xD I'm genuinely surprised at how F2P friendly this game is. Coming from the gacha hell that is FGO, Bandori and Love Live! I'm really liking the fact that I can actually get SR's without having to be overly reliant on the gacha and the gacha rates aren't half bad either. I just hit commander level 34 and I have 5 SR's already and I might be getting my 6th very soon from a medal exchange and I haven't even spent money on this game. (yet XD) Couple of questions for the more experienced players, what are team comps normally like? What's a good balanced team? I'm currently running Centaur, Akagi and Repulse (Soon to be Hood) on my main fleet with Z23, Atago and Prinz as my vanguard. Is that a good balance? If not, what's a good balanced lineup? I assume it's dependent on the node you're playing and stuff but just generically what's a good balance to strike? Are there co-op events in this game? |
 |
| @Lelouch0202 This game is made with casual players in mind and it rarely provides challenging content, so you don't have to worry about your team composition much. I'd recommend using the ships you like, only avoiding mixing incompatible skills. Obviously, like in any other game some characters are way stronger than the others, but you can clear events and the main story up to world 10 with little effort using anything you want and afterwards you can still brute force it with levels and equipment. The only game mode where min-maxing really matters is exercise (pvp battles), but after buying South Dakota and Eldridge there's not much point in it. |

I wish Azur Lane had something like NP levels in FGO.  |
That was surprisingly easy. Get her with just 5 pulls. |

Demonic flagship Mikasa leads her exhausted forces to victory. |
At long last o(^▽^)o @Renkini It took a bit longer than I initially expected, but that's hardly comparable to the time I had to wait for the War God's event. Guess I'll let it rest for awhile. |

Guess I'll let it rest for awhile. 🎉Congratulations to your marriage!🎉 Was it worth the long time you waited? But... Damn, all other new girls hate you like crazy. What the hell did you even do?! Sink them like there's no tomorrow? 2019 shitty commander award goes to... Lelouch0202 said: Couple of questions for the more experienced players, what are team comps normally like? What's a good balanced team? Fujimaru Ritsuka, the protagonist of FGO once said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swFqOvQqWjQ&feature=youtu.be&t=6 xD But yeah, like Tann said, you don't need to worry about team composition very much in Azur Lane. If you don't want wasted firepower, just be careful with skills. For example, Queen Elizabeth is at her peak when the fleet consists of all Royal Navy ships. There's no reason to use Lexington and Saratoga in same fleet because their skills are identical and don't overlap etc. If you want the most balanced formation, I'd recommend 1 DD, 1 CL, 1 CA for vanguard, and 1 BB, 2 CV for main. (Hornet's fleet is also composed like that in anime episode 2) I've tried 3 CA for vanguard and my fleet moves like a turtle so you probably don't want that either. Other than that, just use your favorites since main story nodes don't provide major challenges until world 10 and above. And PvP in AL is almost non-existent and it's probably there just for meme purposes. |
|
| @Renkini Well, thanks to this occasion my interest in the game reignited a bit, I even upgraded my equipment, something I haven't done for half a year. I'm still salty, though. And eh, I just overworked those girls a bit, but they're okay with it because it was for Mikasa's sake and everyone in my fleet loves her. |

Hah, that he did. xD I'm currently running 1DD and 2CA's on my vanguard and 1BB and 2CV as my main fleet, I'm hoping I get Belfast and an SR destroyer so I can run a 1+1+1 vanguard as you mentioned. Speaking of SR destroyers, is there any way for me to get Kawakaze at this point, or do I have to hope for a rerun of her event? |

Lelouch0202 said: Speaking of SR destroyers, is there any way for me to get Kawakaze at this point, or do I have to hope for a rerun of her event? Unfortunately, yes. Kawakaze is an event-only ship so you have to wait "Ink-stained Steel Sakura" rerun. I feel you. I'm still waiting for Winter's Crown rerun to get Sirius :( |

| Today I learned that you can build U-110. I have hardly any cubes left because I tried getting Mikasa (still haven't but I got like five each of the other event ships...). |
|
| Is there a way to know what the upcoming events on the EN server are gonna be? Do we follow the CN or JP servers and how far behind are are? |

Gorochu said: Azur Lane Final Character Popularity Poll 2019. https://vote.azurlane.yo-star.com/ So who are you guys voting? Voting for Bismarck as usual... But Jesus Christ, the anime really made Laffey popular. Lelouch0202 said: Is there a way to know what the upcoming events on the EN server are gonna be? Do we follow the CN or JP servers and how far behind are are? I don't think there is a set schedule for EN because sometimes we get events at the same time or very soon after CN/JP, and other times we have to wait. The best way would probably be to check the EN Twitter account, or maybe ask on the in-game chat. I think the next event is the Divergent Chessboard Rerun. |

  USS Enterprise (2018-2019), sold for scrap. |

| @Tannhauser Lmao is that salt from the anime’s adaptation? |
 |
Sort of. I've been considering scrapping her for some time now and anime series convinced me to proceed with it. |

| Greetings from Lexington Server. |
| So they delayed the art book and didn't send a single email out to people that bought it (Including me). I only found out b/c my friend sent me a screenshot of the tweet from Yostar. Like seriously. Not everyone uses Twitter. FFS you guys have my email from the order. Use it and communicate with your buyers. It's not that difficult to send an apology email to your mailing list of people that ordered your stuff. /rant |

Yeah the tweet said delayed for USA until late November. Still miffed since they literally have my address so they could have easily compiled a list of orders to the US and send out an email explaining the delay. |

| It's been over 2 weeks since they shipped my order and I still haven't received my art book... Should I be worried? |
