Separation of the event story from the sorties, so it can be read comfortably in one go after clearing the event maps.
>which bote you hope will be added next year
Dunno. Kitakami. De Grasse. UR Helena II. UR Z23 Zwei, UR Ayanami Ni. I really don't like the idea of Tsus, but if they opened that can of worms they better deliver upgrades for all 4 starters at least.
>which new feature/reworked feature do you hope will happen next year
I want less of clunky bare-bones dollar store Koikatsu and more of something immersive that'll tickle simulation/spreadsheet autism. Operation Siren was that, before it turned into a routine.

I'd like to say the separation of stories and stages like the other guy but it made me completely forget to read the story in one event and I'm permanently locked out of it until it is rerun, so I'm going to say the reduction of stage clear requirement to only 1, if that was a change that happened this year. Also hard mode EX stages without any requirement like single vanguard or equipping certain auxes

Hard to pick, Alsace maybe? Her freaking out is adorable.
The dorm is nice, though i do hope the game won't die before they actually add bote i really like in there. And the faster event clearing for sure.
For rework i dunno. I guess the cats. New gameplay mode would be cool but i can't say i liked the card thing very much. At the same time, i'm not too sure about reworking the core gameplay. The fact i can just set-up triple 12-4 clear and do anything else before coming back to levels and coin is what i really like. So yeah, i guess new gameplay mode rather than touching this. Or rework OS.

Memory and chat for my fat-tailed concubine, cool.

Is this gonna be one of those games where I install it because I want to sex the girls and then I just end up wanting to protect them and would never think about doing anything perverted with my daughters

Same. +13 fighters are not mandatory. Z52's auxes can be interchanged with others as long as it increases her reload. I have 4 +13 rainbows so I'm using the same anyways.

About the 3D Dorm.... can Manjuu just rip the 3D models from Crosswave? I mean, it would make it faster to implement it in game.

>>1644766
Hm. I'm not sure about blowing plates on 2 more of those torpedo planes. Then again they are used pretty often in recent META fights, so it shouldn't be a big loss.

>>1644778
I've had 4 of them at +13 for quite a long time now, they were used often especially for 4 launch setups. They're still cheaper to +13 than rainbows.

>>1644777
they seem to intend on having unique animations, areas, gifts, ect for each character. which is admirable i guess, but i'd rather they just create one pool of animations and release a bunch of models at once. i remember when i thought they would use these...

It was some EN only thing, you only had a quick headsup on the news when it was added then you had to do everything else manually.
By loggin in the site with your yostar account you unlocked the in-game missions that gave you some coins for the site and by spinning a gachapon you could obtain "pieces" of chibis and if you got all 9 you obtained 8 cubes
Which is obviously fuck all, but it's pretty bad how it was implemented.

>>1646143

I wager it's one vindictive faggot who reported 5 skins as a fair sample number, not too big not too small, 2 of which were recently added, one rerunning and two super old to imply "there's a lot more to look for if you feel like policing them," but it turned out that the censor monkey did not bother looking further (for now), hence Nakhimov and the others not getting hit for example
but the timing is interesting. mere days after very positive sale estimates (which I do not regard in any way whatsoever as true, but I know many take them only too seriously), and not so long ago since a certain petty drama queen nigger got ousted from Manjuu

>>1646150

How do you even juggle the 3D dorm now. Apparently i still need like 5 months worth of flowers to finish Sirius, if i completely ignore Noshiro. I guess maxing them both is pretty much impossible without spending gems. And it will ony become worse with more botes.

Wouldnt surprise me if the suspect was chinks. Those people are rabids when things does not goes their ways.

this being so specific implies it was a specific report on those 5 skins, but then if it's really as easy to fuck over a gacha as sending a mail to Google, how come this has not only not happened but not been abused before? and why would they get censored now and not months ago when twitter faggots made a scandal over that one Kashino skin?

Nothing on the JP side for now, I checked the announcements section and there's nothing on X as well. Different servers can have slight variations like how CN has heavier censoring for example. I'm not too worried since I have the skins, I guess it's just future skins that might take a slight hit. They might choose to tone down for a while again.

While I would like skins that aren't just giga sex I would prefer if it was by their own decisions instead of a scenario like this, that being said I honestly don't think it will have any noticable effects simply due to how random the selection was, I'm buying the theory this pretty much came about because some mom with a lot of influence (either because she is some twitter retard or is some banker) caught her son with those skins, threw a fit and demand google do something, and now its the case of them showing they totally solving it and waiting for the whole thing to blow over and quietly put those skins back, granted I have no proof so only time will tell

>>1646624
as much as I'd laugh if that was true I don't think that's it. the average karen mom would sooner complain about the game as a whole being porn and influencing her otherwise pure kid than five specific skins, and if she had access to his secretary list you'd think she would grab poor timmy's phone and mess around to find more

hey I'm trying to save bulins, I still need lots of them

i made it four months but the daily chores are starting to lose me. even worse are the random things that aren't daily but instead half an hour or 1 hour or 2 hours or 6 hours.
doesn't help that all my progress was in the first month. i guess i technically have more boats now but i don't know how to fleetbuild and my equipment hasn't changed at all. i'm still just using the same queen elizabeth meta and nagato fleets i've used since the start.

>>1647052
>the daily chores are starting to lose me
Just use ALAS like every sane person.
>i don't know how to fleetbuild
Just read guides. https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/ is a good start.

>>1647052
I'm a casual player and I only do three hard modes and the daily thing that gives me books and stuff, only takes me 5 minutes
Only thing that eats more than 15 minutes is Operation Siren which I only barely do at the end of the month until they make it more bearable

Is Musashi still fine for 15-4 clears? Would Alsace make a better choice for mobbing? I want to see if I can make a dent before York 2's rerun

>>1647250
Musashi is better for it, especially for W15.

Boss Fleet
>Bis2/Volga/Unicorn
>Brest/San Diego/Plymouth
Mob Fleet
>Musashi/Aquila/Independence
>Laffey2/Scylla/Shimanto
I feel like Mob Fleet needs more healing, like I should move Brest there
>>1647254
I feel like the initial fights with the air support fleets are shaving way too much life from her that I can't get her back up to a decent health % to do bosses

>>1647268
Change Unicorn and Independence.

>>1647268
I think you got the two main fleets mixed up for W15
Bismarck, Volga and Unicorn are better to use on the Mob Fleet
Musashi, Aquila and Independence are better to use on the Boss Fleet
Alternatively you could just change Unicorn and Independence like the other anon said.

>>1648091
Because they are trying to paint Helena as unhinged in her own right.

>Keeps other girls away from you for whatever reason (Yorktown META)
Granted you didn't do things the way Magician wanted either, she was still satisfied with the result.

I just realized why dishwasher's art feels so off. It's because he's like the Rob Liefeld of waifus, the anatomy, angles and proportions are all fucked.

>>1648112
I generally didn't like his coloring style.
That and how his eyes and faces tend to gravitate towards one expression combination I didn't like. The art directors must have wrangled him like hell because Musashi looks so different in official art than his extra illustrations he draws of her.

>>1648098
>paint Helena as unhinged in her own right.
They've been doing that pretty well and the escalation and contrast with Magician this event was really good
>Helena about to sacrifice who knows how many people and keep it hidden, only stopped (and barely at that) because Yorktown threatened to snitch on her if she didn't cut her bullshit
>meanwhile Madam M just rolls with it when you ignore her plan and fight your way
>turns out she was also the one responsible for the whole comunication/transport problem, but that was because she moved test site beta to keep it safe from BHR's assault
I feel Helena will end up becoming the last boss to fight before moving on to the full war with X head on

Last boss in my bed maybe. It's time to stop posting Magician, i'm not gonna stop her from sending few Rodney nukes your way no matter what you say. If anything i will tell her to launch few more just for good measure.

i've literally never used a gear skin. is that normal?

>>1648494
I put Helena META's unique gear skin on her and that's it.
Sometimes put flashy aux gear skins like the satellite moon or aurora wings on someone, but end up removing them after a few battles.
May experiment with the Tempesta/Halloween gear skins on Tempestas sometime, some look pretty cool and they fit thematically.

Really? Feels pretty fast to me. Three week events always felt like they dragged out for forever, so I suppose that is the difference here and why it feels so quick.

>>1648619
Cny is on 29, so with three weeks it makes sense to slap it right after the rerun. Then Valentine shortly after and likely few more dead weeks/reruns before the next new UR. With some lab gear, pr catchups, Oceana and other small updates in between. Perhaps even the chibi town.

>>1648638
The chibi stuff feels like something they would push to CN anni or later.
Oceana will probably get slotted in just after or before the Feburary UR like TB was.

>>1648590
The trolley gun turret is a neat idea, it matches with how, mostly at the start and not so much lately, ships when wearing their skins had their main guns in some mundane situation, stored inside their bags or using them as chairs.

playing GFL2 has made me hate this game's pvp even more, not only most people agree on leaving a single underleveled unit on unranked pvp but you also get to refresh the list over 20 times a day and you only have to fight 3 times daily

>>1648850
I still hope for some sort of pvp rework, even if its something as simple as removing the cap for how many players can reach x rank that starts after getting into the admiral parts

But I also have no other collabs I want at this point neither. Wouldn't mind a Nep collab rerun to buff the girls. Dolphin Wave I too guess?
