French event bgm always sound like something straight out of the JRPG final dungeons/bosses.
How is your rolling? I wasted 100 cubes and got everything besides Suffren
>>1257495Got everyone except Lyon in 30 rolls/60 cubes, doing 3 daily rolls for now.
>>1257495Sounds about right. ~130ish here and I have everyone except Painleve and Kersaint. A lot better than I did for the last pasta (mini) event anyway. You're probably a 30-100 rolls out. Never give up!>>1257426I love ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp83c1d7AX0
Did they try to squeeze 3 events worth of story into this or something?
>>1257560They obviously glued one pasta and one frog event together with how fast the pace changes between part 1 and 2.Marco Polo would be less of a joke if she gets proper build up time but seeing how fast she got her shit kicked in is pretty entertaining on its own.
>>1257581the entire event should have been stopping marco along with having the past mini events do more to explain why she fell, second part of this event pretty much crumbles due to how much it tries to shove in
>>1257495got these botes yesterday, shit rolls today
>>1258244>Baltimore muvery nice
>>1258247isn't she?I've got my beloved Taihou's Mu version on the wishing wellI already have Gascone, Admiral Hipper, Tashkent and Akagi Mu as well, so I'll be able to make a full fleet of them
>>1258808Where's the part when she starts stroking her stomach.
>>1258811
>>1258838>Already had a kid>Asking for a second.She puts St.Louis to shame.
>>1258843It runs in the family
Jesus, the walls of skill from boss
Where does one get HD versions of the shipgirls' official portraits?
>>1259581On boorus people post jeypegs that some autist found out how to pull from the game files. It's probably the highest res
>>1258838>no ringanon, are you even trying
>>1257495>20 cubes>suffren and hoodPretty decent. I have 2800 event mats from just doing daillies so I feel like I should be able to get kerseant and the 10k unit if I don't miss too many days.
Is Suffren worth investing into? I'm new and am only just realizing the limited nature of Bulins.
>>1259773there are better tanks but as a new player she will probably be your go to tank for a while so sure
>>1259809Where can I see what class a ship falls into? Rikka, namiko and hime hime are all light cruisers but feel like a damage dealer, tank, and support respectively.
>>1259837The usual Azur Lane wiki should have everything you need, but generally ship types don't exactly define the roles they have, you have to check their skills to see what they can do first. For example Painleve is a healer and buffer even though she is an aircraft carrier.
>>1259624Look again.
>>1259581>>1259593For character art, get them from the wiki. It's very complete and the booru posts come from that anyways.For loading screens and other promo art, get them from the boorus instead. Wiki has it all, but only at 1024x576, but most artists will post their stuff to twitter/pixiv and people will post them to the boorus.
Do you have dreams that involves boatsluts?
>>1261011
>>1258838MY NEURONS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED
So next Meta battle is Jintsuu. Took them quite long for this one.
>>1262889I just hope her battle isn't annoying, Algys was a breath of fresh air simply due to how the gimmick wasn't annoying to fight around

Yup! This time, it'll be perfect! Ooooohohohoho!>...In return... Do you... want this Marco Polo to do something for you?Courtesy of >>443710183We're getting a short epilogue story with Marco Polo.
>>1263988>>>/vg/443710183Oopsie
>>1263988did that tweet really state we are getting a short epilogue story for Marco
>>1264068No. That pic is the follow up. SKK is canonically his own thing separate from all the other factions. Marco Polo has been reported as sunk and Clemenceau's been branded a traitor and Siren conspirator. Clem might eventually get a pass with Richie becoming the new frog pope, but MPs probably with SKK for the long haul.
Every time I check out /alg/ thinking that it has hit rock bottom, it still disappoints me
>>1264442So Marco Polo won?
>>1264528In that her and maybe Clem will probably be the first fruits of the slow eventual merge of the factions story into the SKK port story that typically runs parallel? Yes.
>One of the least popular PRs.>Jobbed so hard in the event people start liking her out of pity.Is this her masterplan?
did you buy any of the new skins? i got helena and enty suits, nothing else appealing desu
>>1266403Enty, Helena, Clem, and I got Guichen's from the lucky bag.
>>1264466The problem is reddit sucks, discord is useless (and a closed circle), and if /alg/ is also a lost cause then discourse for Azur Lane is totally fucked
>>1264466/alg/'s pretty tame as far as /vg/ goesyou don't belong on 4chan if /alg/ of all places tuckers you out
>>1257495Make that ~260 with no Suffren
This place is very peaceful.
jp version of the patch notes>https://www.azurlane.jp/news-item.html?i=1324mostly minor but the few interesting things are>first test of the tower gamemode should be coming with a small limited event>speed stat is now shown>the OpSi shop overhaul is finally coming and will start working next rest (aka first of September)>the way it works now is the more zones you get to safe the more items become available (in other words the days of having to buy trash just to get the items you want should hopefully be gone)
>>1266403Helena and Clemenceau's.

>>1271806>For every extra faction in the fleet past 1 faction, increase all Jintsuu META's stats by 5% (Does not count collab and other special factions).So the best options are full Kraut BB fleet and full Burger CV fleet I think.But I'm going to see how far I can get with a full Frog BB fleet first, just like the old times (Frog BB fleet was my most decked out one back in 2020 and I used it for clearing OS on its release and half of the daily META battles up to Souryuu).
>All the complaints about the new modes from JPTime to go back to the drawing board.
>>1271987I'm playing it right now and it is not good.The movement doesn't feel good at all.Have to swipe cards with right hand on a cooldown while tapping to move in a quasi-turn-based fashion with left hand.Some of the torpedo danmaku barrages seem to be just continuous hitboxes - as in, you can't squeeze into the small openings between torpedoes, you have to evade them like if they were big arcs - or maybe I just need to git gud.Feels like a proof of concept.
>>1272005Movement costs points and the shitty UI gets on your way half of the time are really awful. They can keep their crappy card mechanic but at least let people use the normal movement from normal battles.I doubt this crap will see the light of day again without some massive revamp.
>>1271987It's shit. >>1272005 sums it up. I like the idea the card thing is kind of neat but the implementation is terrible.
Cunnysex
This guy alongside boaxboats guy always make my day brighter
>>1272005>>1272159It's the card slide thing. While you're trying to dodge enemy fire or reposition you also have to fumble around with sliding the cards. That's bad design. Should just be able to click them to make them do their thing. Maybe give them a cool animation or something. The rest would just be getting familiar with the cards.Initial impression is it's a more convoluted way to play over traditional manual play. Can't imagine controlling more than one unit at a time without it becoming ridiculously tedious or turning it into a turn based thing outright. Might be cool to let us play around with the main fleet units like this.
>>1272584honestly think if they stil insist on the card sliding they should just go all in on it being turn based instead of this weird half and half system it currently is
>>1272592My thoughts as well.
>>1271987If JP is complaining it then there is a force for change
>>1272878Aside from all the janky stuff people already mentioned here, JP also dislike this mode because they can't auto it and they don't want a manual only mode as permanent content.

>>1276536She should catch up with her katana first
>>1269112Even a year ago, blacked edits were confined to trash. Now you can expect them as soon as you mention French boats.
>Sodak equipbased update. Does your boatfu get equip?
>>1277883No, but she got a retrofit

No Yamato this year, as expected.
>Asanagi by Asanagi.They actually did it.
>Nachi refitNice
>>1280843Was expecting Mutsu or Nagato retrofit since the big 7 from other factions got it but oh well.
>>1280843That rigging has Kancolle vibes, I guess that's because she's oldOn a side note, Senran Kagura gacha collab

>>1285734I really should not have wasted half of my cubes on the previous event, now I'm recovering and almost 300 cubes but I fear it won't be enough.
>>1285799400 cubes is only need for absolute worst case scenario, that and sicne the event is three weeks long giving you plenty of time to get the extra hundred needed for worst case scenario you will be fine
>>1285799You have to believe in the heart of cubes
>Can stack continuous sortie x3 with x2 drop data.RIP dock slots.
>300 cubes>UR boatslut is already hereGyaru will findom the shit out of me, won't she
>>1285799>>1285803>>1285810Guess I believed hard enough, got all the girls from the banner through 160 cubes, now I have 120 cubes left. I hope the next event after this is a rerun because I need to recover.
god i fucking love zuma so much bros

Holy moly

>>1281507I wish we had more Senran games nowadays...
>only 120 cubes to get horny gyaruwew this gacha was merciful on me, unlike frogs. Time to regrow cube supplies
>>1286170The worse case scenario is they slap us with the Senran Kagura event after this brutality on our cubes but its probably in November... hopefully?
>>1290610pretty sure Shima rerun is more likely to happen next followed by typical halloween/tempesta raid event then Senran collab
