Huh, I was wondering why I couldn't find it on the app store, I guess it just wasn't available yet.

Cute Shimakaze is cute.

This is unreleated to shipgirls or WoWS in particular, but I just felt like sharing:

I'm currently in the market for upgrading from my outmoded late-2009 Macbook pro Windows partition to an actual gaming PC (this is mainly brought on by my windows partition sh!tting itself the other week), and so I've been looking at the current best PCs available on the market.

I've come across this monster.

The review website had two 'cons' for that thing:

"You can't afford it."

"No, seriously, it costs too much."

No effing kidding.

What kind of madman could possibly afford such a thing AND make use of its full potential?

Shima-chan is innocent, its the dirty people who taint her.

Ever heard of PCMR? I heard the like these stuff to enlarge their Epeen. 

[LOZFFVII]

I just realised the only thing better than the PC are the reviews.

This is, hands down, the best decision I've ever made. And the box it came in is incredibly roomy too, which is a huge bonus, because I live in it now.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO BUY IT!??

There's always people who buy such stuff specifically because it comes with a sense of exclusivity. Same reason people shell out obscene amounts of money for luxury cars, jewelry, etc. pp..

 

But the reviews on the linked website are full on troll-mode 

[ShinGetsu]

I know someone (an italian wows streamer) who creates custom gamer PC and sell them. Not only are they absolutely beautifully designed, but their performances are top notch and optimized. The price goes around the 5000€ each however...

That why I said "Ever heard of PCMR? I heard the like these stuff to enlarge their Epeen. "

[Silverglitch]

I don't know what it is about all these shipgirls, but I always end up going for the Takao class ships, in Kancolle it's Atago, and in arpeggio it's Takao, on top of that in Azur Lane they're also great!

This is a cool picture, but something seems off...

Oh.

Oh no.

 

 

(I'm pretty sure Aurora is sitting fine in St. Petersburg tho?)

Welp, I've started playing Azur Lane.

My nick is "LOZFFVII" and my default server is "Sandy", I'm not certain if that's enough for you guys to add me as a friend, so let me know if there's anything else.

BTW, I'm the first person to leave a ship review for Leander.

 

I just feel like getting some things off my chest:

1) Don't start with Javelin, her voice is annoying and her Live2D is giving me serious uncanny valley.

2) Why is the bg behind your secretary ship just a black void? It's really boring to look at.

3) The UI needs some serious QOL improvements. A lot of the buttons seem to be very small for my iPad screen, I can't imagine playing it on mobile. Not to mention there is not always an obvious 'back' or 'cancel' button (and no, I don't consider the existing 'back' button, which blends in with the top of the window, to be acceptable). Also, it's not exactly clear where everything in the game is with respect to the main menu, and I quickly forgot everything that was shoved in my face by the 'tutorial'.

4) Finally, why in the heck is the merchant and canteen in a separate pop-out rather than on the main screen? Seems like they are both quite important for your overall upkeep, yet they get hidden inside something that was not all that obviously different from screen decoration at first.

Anybody else get these problems?

I actually like Javelin, shes cute. Kinda dissapointed when they switch her voice. Therefore I not updating my voicepack.

Some skins come with a special BG like this.

You want Canteen and Merchant at front like this?

[Zemeritt]

Started AL on Sandy too.

Trying to get into this slowly.

 

Name is Zemeritt (UID 201725298) if someone wants to add me.

[Verdius]

I started playing before it officially launched in the EU so I am not even sure if our servers are the same, altough I think they are. We opened with only Avrora, which is the server I am on.

 

Anyway my UID for AL is 67205075

And my UID for Girls Frontline EN is 2661

Oh boy, event game maintenance has started.

Interesting thing is this fifth unknown ship announced for E-4 reward.  Lexington, Admiral Hipper, Blucher or Fiume?

Tried your UID, didn't work. Looks like it doesn't work across severs.

I've just found my UID if it helps, 201731615, username is still LOZFFVII.

I'm thinking of starting a guild if anyone wants to join me. I'm not certain what kind of bonuses we get for being in a guild...

 

Also I'm starting to get to grips with this game a bit better now. I've worked out how to turn off Javelin's Live2D, so that's a plus.

Oh, I see, so I need to get one of the swimsuits and (I presume) put the swimsuit shipgirl as my secretary in order to see a more interesting BG?

All the more reason to buy gems to get the bonus Saratoga and use the gems for her swimsuit...

 

I didn't mean sticking out like a sore thumb, but there's so little space used up by the $ coin and the oil drum pictures that they could've just had them sticking out of the top of the screen (or wherever they could've squeezed the merchant/canteen pictures) to be tapped on instead of having to open up a separate pop-out.

---

Oh, can anyone explain to me how to teach ships certain skills?

I've worked out that in order to get the "All Out Attack" skills you need to Limit Break the character once and certain skills like Cygnet's "Smokescreen" you need to Retrofit them, but skills like Long Long Man's Island's "Air Support" seem to elude me. I've already limit breaked Long Cat Island and she doesn't have any options for retrofitting, so I'm at a loss for unlocking that skill.

 

Oh, and how does one find out what gear different ships are "efficient" with? I have Vestal equipped with the 12.7mm AA Gun and it's telling me she's 85% efficient with it. Helena is apparently 65% efficient with all DD guns I try to give her as secondaries.

---

Also, I had a pretty crappy evening yesterday, with only a 30% win rating.

Anyone want to division up to do something silly tonight, such as triple Shimakaze div?

Hell, is anyone else grinding Kitakze, too? Triple Kitakaze could be amusing.

Long Island has a retrofit, its just not yet available in EN yet.

The efficiency is tied to the slot, and it increases with limit break. Not every ship will get to 100% in a slot no mattter the gun you put there.

Well, afaik you get to see if others have constructed a rare ship.

Yup, that's it.

 

Half an hour left to go on maintenance.

Prepare yourselves, the salt is coming.

Nelson is drawn by Yoshinori, so we can expect a great lady.

Only the skin that haave a little icon that looks like a panorama will have special BG. Some skin dont have special BG, cant remember if Saratoga swimsuit have one.

 

Edit: I think the seasonal/themed skin have special BG, but normal skin not.
