[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #1 Posted May 1, 2019 Okay, I have to say: that Azur Lane Dorm port is dope AF. The selected ship standing on a pedestal like a model looks absolutely amazing. I wouldn't mind seeing that aesthetic design permanently in some form once the AL Dorm port expires again (I presume the port is not meant to stay permanently, but I haven't really found anything stating how long it will be present with a superficial search through the news on the webportal). Spoiler Something like a permanent Collectors' Port with the same ship as model on a pedestal or let's get cheeky and bottle them all up as bottle ships, now that sounds nice! Because yeah, I really like the look of this. Well done WG! 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might fix some of the slow UI. I'm not into the Weeb thing but I do find this kinda funny, really. Now add one of these (in whatever form) in the backgroud and I'll never stop laughing.

Very ironic considering the theme this game has chosen. Thats due to the fact that water simulations need 100k+ polys for it too look decent or at least a considerable number of polys, i mean you could animate the water but thats incredibly tedious and takes way too long. Im sure there are more effcient ways of doing it but your pc needs to process the water, textures any shaders, normal maps, diffuse maps etc plus the number of polys the water is and the ship itself. but then even if you give WG the more effcient way they will probs just ignore it.

So... i also play another game other than WoWs, it is IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, and in that game, there is a mod about the water (see link). I think that the water would look like that, we would have huge performance improovements, in that game, with this mod, the water doesn't look bad, it looks okay and actually it doesn't hit FPS that much (a almost don't see any change in FPS). https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,15180.0.html Il-2 sturmovik 1946 WoWs Hakuryu 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, that’s different. If for instance in quit the game during say the hunt the Bismarck event with it open, I could restart the game today and keep collecting. What you can’t do is stop the collection after the expiry date, you can’t restart it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact it doesn't say how long we have, or even if it is, as you say, unlimited, has me concerned. I want that Azuma commander, but what I don't want is to have to pay for her.
