Everybody ready for tomorrow's AL update?

I should have enough coins for about 70 builds in a row. Which will hopefully at least put me on the path towards the 200 pity (coins are my only limiting factor: I have over 600cubes, probably close to 700).

 

I sit on around 82k coins and 518 cubes.

 

Should be enough hopefully.

[Pururut]

Have 60 cubes and enough coins. Alright I have to share this as I dont know if it is something that happens to everyone in this game at a certain point but besides Archerfish and her bunny skin I just dont care about new ships nor do I need them. Already have 2 mob, 1 boss, 1 asw, 1 pvp, 2 submarine and multiple operation fleets all with fully upgraded gear sitting at lvl 108-120. Have something like 180 ships out of which only 100 are ever used if we take commissions into account as well. Used to run a pr fleet or two but at this rate I dont need another unique kansen with tankiness or AA capability or whatever. The only thing left to do is to reorganize the fleets for W13, organize meowficcers, get Beaver Squad/pearls tears and keep on playing... for whatever the reason. I just dont know anymore. 

 

Edit: Smh how could I ever forgot Enterprise-chan.

Unless you've already started organising fleets for W13, you do not "already have 2mob, 1 boss" fleets that you can "reorganise for W13". W13 is a completely different beast to everything that comes before it, I would know - I only just managed to beat 13-1 with my best ships for the task, and 3-starring it was even harder. I've actually only just given grinding ships for W13 secondary priority (behind my challenge-to-self of grinding all Fletchers in the game to lvl120, which the new event is adding +1 to), and I can see it's going to take me months of prep work before I'm confident I can try 13-2 again.

 

Oh, btw, the recent CN stream (apparently) confirmed W14 by the end of the year. Source.

The way you've written that, I'm getting vibes that you don't really care about the game and you're just going through the motions. If at any point with a game you start feeling like that, it's probably better to quit.

As much as I'd rather not suggest someone drop a game I genuinely enjoy, at the same time I don't want to see anyone ruin themselves over a collection of pixels.

 

If you still want to play the game, my only suggestion is to use the goals the devs have set for you (i.e. I have all 17 PR ships, despite having no real intention of using 6 of them, just because grinding for them was something I could do). Don't bother with meowfficers, I don't think anyone really bothers with min-maxing them because it's such a chore (you need a lot of experience to raise them to lvl30, their cap, and the skills they can gain are random). In all honesty, I'm surprised you don't already have at least the beaver badge, as it's a really good piece of gear (don't bother with Pearl's Tears unless you intend to go into "PvP" meta, something that isn't really worth spending brainpower on anyway). If you want to join a guild and you're on Sandy server, my guild is open for WoWS EU Forumites (check my sig); if you're f2p joining now would give you an extra 10 dock slots to work with.

GUYS.

GUYS GUYS GUYS.

YOU GUYS REMEMBER HOW IT'S KINDA WEIRD HOW BOISE AND ALLEN M. SUMNER GET L2D SKINS BUT NOT NEW JERSEY?

Well...

Spoiler

Azur Lane Meta - Mirror Involution Datamine

That's because New Jersey's DEFAULT skin is L2D! And it's badass.

 

(Also, something about Yorktown META and Souryuu META)

 

 

EDIT:

Just finished watching the video and the Iowa gun is a UR HE BB gun! Which is in the point shop for 10,000 points! That's going to be the easiest UR gear to obtain besides the rainbow dildo.

[Inochi777]

Pulled everything under 50 cubes xD

 

Do you think azur lane event will ever come back to wows this year ?

Appearently, all UR ships will get a base L2D skin in the future. Nice addition indeed.

Meanwhile, I'm sat here with 80 pulls and no San Fran or NJ (5 Boise and 3 Archerfish, though).

Managing to pull Ticonderoga from the build pool like usual for me (like, seriously, wtf? How do I keep managing to get the 0.5% ships from the build pool?). Ofc as soon as I pulled her I was like "Well, that doesn't bode well for me" - I'm garanteed to have to do 200 pulls for the pity NJ, now.

BTW, I don't know if anybody cares, but I decided on a whim to browse Danbooru for fanart of Abruzzi (AL), and I was surprised to find that:

Spoiler

Her original artist has done NSFW art of her.

And not like how Oyari Ashito did a tasteful nude of Emile Bertin; I mean actually R18+ stuff.

(No links here, for obvious reasons)

He's also done some more art of Garibaldi, so we can see her more clearly than in Abruzzi's swimsuit skin.

I'm now on 4 San Francisco, no Archerfish or Boise (as always, the Elites will be my bane)

 

I'll properly have to drop alot of oil into grinding points

Atleast we can assume that Garibaldi might be the 2nd run ship, as her design seems already to be finished.

It's still pretty surprising, considering we have the likes of Waterkuma with Bache or Tony Taka with Centaur/Ryuuhou, who haven't given into the market for lewds (especially so with waterkuma, for whom Bache is 100% his type).

Here's hoping, considering I already like what little we see of her.

Although we'll have to wait 6months to a year to see a rerun (and right now, I have more pressing rainbow-coloured issues at hand).

[Khaba_Gandalf]

I am at around 60 pulls and so far worst event for that amount of investment. First fifthy netted me archerfish and Boise. Last ten single pulls gave me tico. 

 

Still have 250 cubes to spare but coins... Well that's going to be tough if it should come down to the 200 builds pity drop... 

[LOZFFVII]

Another 20 builds, got a fourth Archerfish and first San Fran.

That means I now have all the ships aside from Morrison (point milestone, so I'll probably have her either tonight or tomorrow) and New Jersey.

At 100 builds, this means I only have to average less than 10 builds a day and I should hit the pity, no problem.

[Zemeritt]

4 San Francs, one 10 Build even got me 2 Prinz Eugens back to back.

 

I've never pulled so many off banner ships as with this one.

[Pururut]

Got Ticonderoga, Boise and Archerfish. Undecided between whether to bother with the rest or start restocking for the next event. New Jerseys first ability looks like Warspite 2.0 and the third ability screams of World 13. I guess I will keep trying with daily cubes until the events end.

 

The real deal however was the reorganization. Took me an hour to go through the crafting modules and tech boxes alone while keeping the research lab in mind for future upgrades. Ships were reorganized into 1 mob, 1 boss, 1 asw, 1 pvp, 1 low cost grind and 1 pr research fleets with 2 sub groups. Dissolved the operation ones and started using the established fleets instead for the sake of streamlining.

 

I am really looking forward to Helena META. Skipped Ark Royal as her persona doesnt click with me. Speaking of which there was supposed to be oath skins for Ark Royal, Azuma and Rodney. Are there any news about their release? 

[LOZFFVII]

Oh. For. s. Sake.

Another 20 builds today.

Only one event ship.

SR.

Guess who.

Spoiler

If you guessed Ticonderoga;

 

That makes two of the ship that has less than half the chance of NJ dropping.

(I've always wanted to use the "now there are two of them" meme, but not like this!)

I am officially cursed to have to rely on the ing pity to get NJ.

Hey, atleast there is a pity for NJ.

I'm missing the sub, but got 6 San Franciscos already....

And Eugens, and Takaos, and Atago, and Hoods, and Warspite.....

 

As I said, the amount of off banner SSRs is nuts with this one.

Care to explain why you had to reorganize your stuff? Did I miss something with the update or the anniversary stream announcements?

Well, I'm now at 94 builds. Number 91 got me NJ, which brings my quota up to:

 

1 NJ

2 Archerfish

1 Tico

3 Boise

 

Zero San Fran so far... plan now is to stick to 3xevent builds until she drops, then switch to the wishing well (still miss U-81)...

Oh lol no you havent missed anything. In the previous page I had a brief episode of  boredom with Azur Lane and the result being not organizing my long outdated fleet. Completely personal although it is kinda funny how severe the case is when I found several unequipped high performance evasion gear and 2 more ready to be crafted in the gear tab. 

[LOZFFVII]

As peeps in our guild already know, today I built another 20 ships and amongst them I finally got:

Spoiler

Syke, I got another ing Ticonderoga.

@MK1D Can I trade one of these ing Ticonderogas for one of your three New Jerseys?

 

[Zemeritt]

You know, I'm at 140 builds and still no Archerfish

I'll break the pity before getting her.

 

And what do you think of the story? (If you actually read it)

 

Spoiler

So Helena META isn't part of the Ashen group? But with Yorktown in a seperate group?

I'm feeling extremely ambivalent about your comment right now:

1. I get that you're in a somewhat worse position, as Archerfish doesn't even get a pity. So I feel sorry for you.
2. I think you're trying to console me a bit, so I feel grateful for that.
3. The likelihood of that happening is still higher than getting three Ticonderogas. So I still don't feel all that assuaged. (0.975^140=0.0289, vs 1-((1-0.005^3)^140)=0.0000175*)
4. I just feel angy at getting so many Ticonderogas and no New Jerseys.

 

* - Please check my Maths here, I think I calculated this correctly, but I'm uncertain. I basically went something along the lines of "the chance of getting three Ty's is 0.005^3=0.000000125, so the chance of not getting that in 140 builds is (1-0.005^3)^140=0.999999875^140=0.9999825, so then the chance of not not getting that is 1-((1-0.005^3)^140)=1-0.9999825=0.0000175". I'm almost certain an actual statistician could do better.

Yep. Especially annoying that I get "spammed" with San Fransiscos and off banner SSRs.

I'd be happy to have gotten 3 Ticos, as I like her design the most of all the ships here

Considering that you're "just" missing NJ, atleast you know you'll get her after spending 400 cubes.

I remember we alsway had the problem of low rate ships dropping alot while higher drop rate ships refuse to come.

Most of my experience is that I get most SSRs before getting one elite.

 

But you're right, of course it's unlikelier to get 3 Tico before getting an Archerfish, but that pisses me off even more.

I fear this will be another case of "Algerie/Prinz Heinrich": For her I had to spent over 350 cuber before she came home

Azur Lane's plot is getting convoluted as hell. Every new event adds more plot points and unanswered questions than it explains and on top of that they went with the multi-reality/dimension garbage with the Shinano.

This whole thing with the Ashes being divided is promising but I hope we're getting more OpSi story next.

at this point I actually doubt they have a finished plot in their minds. The main story remains as empty as it always was and these events are not helping clarify anything. Been kinda long since I didn't skip any stories and tried to unlock the memories.

It's not right.

 

I realised while having a shower last night what I had actually calculated was the chances of getting three Ty's in a row 140 times. Which is so wrong as to be laughable to an actual statistician.

Uhh, I think the actual calculation would be something like (1-(0.995^140))^3=(1-0.496)^3=0.504^3=0.128 so 12.8% which is actually higher than the 2.89% chance of not getting Archerfish. Ofc, I'm still not entirely certain if that calculation is correct or still stupidly wrong.
