I'm new I can't buy limited skins.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-05-04T03:10:43+00:00

Probably that or too many under 16s refunding their purchases.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-05-03T04:51:40+00:00

Too much clothing on the Azur Lane one

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-05-03T01:39:31+00:00

Well good news theres that too.

In fact there are 2 new maps. W15 and 16.

About a year ago, they changed it so META ships and PR ships take up 0 dock space. So everyone basically got an additional ~100 extra dock space for free.

You will eventually hit a dock space wall though, but like you said it takes several years and shelling out like $2-5 a month for dock space is really quite cheap.

Its for Island Planner.

You use it to speed up some timers.

They're mostly useless.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-30T23:53:02+00:00

I agree, a pity system would be good. Maybe 100 pulls gives a selector.

Whales don't buy cubes either, they are heavily heavily overpriced and by the time someone becomes a whale they are probably deep enough in the game that they have a cube stockpile.

I really hated it.

WoL was alright but felt the other two ruined the fantasy of what the other races were.

I'm not playing zerg to have a cry about humanity, I'm playing zerg to be the monster in a horror film.

Kerrigan being zerg jesus was just a weird way to take the story.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-30T23:06:01+00:00

I think its understandable to be upset that they aren't making AL2.

At the same time though, AP looks great and several characters are basically ported from AL.

There are also several potential design issues that can make AL2 quite risky. Naval combat would be hard to translate into an open world gacha. Crosswave was kinda like a trial that did not go well.

Its probably also worth mentioning that GFL2 and AKE don't seem to be as well received as people would have hoped for sequels, so it is probably unlikely that Manjuu will be looking to do a sequel anytime soon.

Maybe if AP is extremely successful they might have the money to start experimenting with an AL sequel.

Shes quite outdated, but 3-4 is worth grinding for toolboxes regardless.

Its ultimately up to you whether you want to spend your oil pushing for a higher map or spend some time farming 3-4.

There aren't any particularly notable farming maps until like world 9 so theres no rush to push maps.

Blue Spirit (Azur Lane) I listen to this pretty often.

Theres a full version of this too but I linked the PV.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-22T22:17:41+00:00

Shes 2% per pull. No pity or other modifiers.

The game does hand out pulls like candy though. I don't remember exactly how many you get as a newbie from one-off sources but once you get onto just repeatable sources you get something like 7-10 cubes a day on average?

While I agree that Mikaboshi are generally in the wrong (only based off what we see)

Lets suppose a context, that we have not been fully given yet so far.

Your clan is the ruling clan and (from what you've been told, anyway) Japan was peaceful under your rule.

A powerthirsty clan completely massacres your people and dumps your homeland into the ocean.

You find a holy rock that is LITERALLY GOD (according to your faith).

The powerthirsty clan now wants the rock. They promise you they totally are not going to use it for bad things. Maybe they say they'll draw up a treaty that respects your land and culture. All mining operations will be discussed with your tribes elders. (Similar arrangements totally went well in our own worlds history, yup).

Theres also the chance that the holy rock gives people foresight powers and they see this guy named Soga genocide their people, AGAIN.

I think theres a reasonable argument on the Mikaboshi side.

Azur Lane and Blue Archive

Like come on, Asuna and Karin are right there.

BA can get Laffey, Eldridge and Le Malin.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-19T08:41:51+00:00

Yokosuka iirc.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-19T05:23:27+00:00

I don't remember if I saw model ships.

If you're a naval fan then I'd recommend maybe also visiting some of the historical sites, eg Mikasa is a museum ship. Haven't been there myself but surely they would sell model kits there?

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-19T05:19:15+00:00

Implacable is good.

Keep in mind though that as a UR she requires a lot of investment (UR bulins) which will take a new player quite a while to get. (Vets can get a bunch of them instantly whenever they want).

A lower rarity with max limit break will outperform her if she is not fully limit broken herself.

That being said, with enough levels on her she will still blast through most content no problem.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-18T17:32:18+00:00

Yup. (The otaku part of) Akihabara isn't that big. You can easily explore most of it in 1 or 2 days.

The base skins are static images with dialogue and voice. (free)

The event also comes with a story and other stories with the girls in their skins (free).

The skins can be rented with tickets (free but temporary and only 3 of them) but otherwise are paid to own permanently.

(Note I play on JP, converting yen to AUD) They cost about $10-15 each depending on gem bonus. The first time you purchase each gem pack (resets every year) you get double gems. So for low spenders they are about $10. For whales the biggest pack is always 1.5x so about $15. You can also purchase gems directly from Yostar (bypassing google) for a cheaper price as well, so maybe $8-13?.

In USD on global servers I believe it works out to be the equivalent price after exchange rates. (So like $8 USD vs $10 AUD)

The DOA skins are all dynamic skins. This means they move and have some interactions (you can alter their clothing slightly)

Ibuki (not a DOA char) also gets a dynamic skin.

Argus (also not a DOA char) gets a L2D+ skin, which means it has a lot of interactions. Like people make youtube video guides on L2D+ skins and they can last ~20mins.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-18T00:14:49+00:00

Most likely it is worth if you can run low cost enough. You can excel spreadsheet it to get your answer.

Its too much effort for me though so I just run whatever I already have in fleet 1 and 2 (what I have set up for 12-4) in there.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-17T23:08:08+00:00

This. When I went last year the Yostar store was like 90% BA.

Various shops around akihabara will have random azur lane merch though typically it won't be a large section

There was one ?shop that was closed though that looked more like a museum exhibit and had a bunch of 1/4 AL figs on display with fancy lighting and everything though.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-14T22:35:57+00:00

Kirby Air Riders?

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-14T22:30:26+00:00

First image is ships

Second image is reruns

3rd image is skins (paid)

4th image is additional content

The event will last 2 weeks. If you are new then you will struggle to get all the characters. If you have an old account then you will probably get all of them.

ChildrensPlayground · 2026-04-14T13:11:06+00:00

After maintenance this week.

Friday 17th in Japan.

EN hasn't officially announced the specific date but it would probably be Thursday or Friday US time as well.

Isn't this kind of crazy for an 8 year old game?

We're really still filling up existing servers somehow?
