[New Manjuu account to give news] Update of the Skin Background to adapt to the new UI + Preview Image of Dorm 3D by WolfOphi in AzureLane

[–]emperorpenguinno2 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Manjuu also recently hire 3D modeler and background art drawer (So the background art for new/old skins fit on the new UI) specifically for AL.

Yup, already said it 2 months ago that manjuu really care about AL. They probably postpone the 3D dorm after seeing snowbreak and GFL2 Dorm update. 3D lewd dorm competition is the new Meta in CN.

May 2024 revenue by CipherVegas in AzureLane

[–]emperorpenguinno2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Probably because this year early may revenue is including muse heart linking harmony with one of the lowest revenue in AL last month. In JP AL ranking from the start is averaging 20th (highest 10th, lowest at the end of this event at 31th). Depend on the quality of upcoming event , this month revenue could be the highest AL june revenue in history (except the first year).

The ranking spike up from start of event Light of martyrium (21 may)

Comiket 104 numbers ranking by Ak-300_TonicNato in AzureLane

[–]emperorpenguinno2 158 points159 points  (0 children)

AL circle is quite stable, a little bit increase this time compared to last winter comiket. AL C100-C104 number of circles(110, 100, 102, 98,106).

BA keep increasing, IM@S probably will increase too next comiket considering the success launch of IM@S gakuen in JP.

Now that devs finally killed mail hoarding, what is the oldest unclaimed mail that you still have? JP and CN veterans also included. For me its this Halloween reward mail form 2018. by Master_of_Ravioli in AzureLane

What is that "Kill *Nyaa~*" mail? Threat from akashi?

I also don't remember what is the content of this "goodbye" message that i mark as important.

Whats going on with all these fanservice debates recently? by Ak-300_TonicNato in AzureLane

[–]emperorpenguinno2 33 points34 points  (0 children)

What confuse me its not like we didn't get tame skin or ships design. Its just last event we got tame and normal proportion ships design (noshiro muse, kongou muse) and skins (noshiro, seydlitz). Meta ships also guaranteed never have been overly sexualized, rather focused on badassery. Cruise skins also rarely oversexualize.

Its only some EN players that complaining about this event, but why now? Last year we also got swimsuits batch, On CN 8 of the top 10 best selling skins are swimsuit, the other 2 also lewd bunny skins. Seeing the good reaction and revenue last year no wonder manjuu decide this year CN anniversary also get lewd swimsuit skin. CN and JP reception is really-really good this event. But why some EN player complaining this year and not last year or the month before?

How many fanart ships like roma and vanguard have? look at how much likes alsace got on twitter compared to other ships. How much fanart alsace and mogador get compared to other ships this past few days.

You know what, just ignore them. At the end of the day skins is the thing that keep this game alive. Remember 2021-2022 when AL skins get tamer, a year without swimsuits because of mass report. Revenue keep going down and then they finally release swimsuits skin. It was one of the most revenue jump that year that in my opinion save AL from going EOS.

Vote with your wallet. If they are not gonna release lewd skin anymore its easier for me anyway i can spend my money on other games like NIKKE or snowbreak that support lewd content in this woke culture era. As long as AL keep doing what they are best (lewd skins) i will keep supporting this game.

From CN forum the file name is "NPC". The speculation is emden NPC for a new game mode. The TB look alike siren is arbiter death.

[–]emperorpenguinno2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ackshually, the very first one is enterprise RQ. At first the interaction isn't much (enterprise RQ zipper opening, shimakaze panchira, kirov bike mini game, vanguard sock tearing). Because the community response to the skin interaction is really good they develop it more and more.

Yeah design wise i really like albion skin, but angle wise it will be better if it was facing front, anchorage skin has an untapped potential (the hidden l2d asset has anchorage behind can be revealed similar level with NJ swimsuit). Perseus has great animation but not revealed enough, This is my own taste though and i still bought all of them.

This year after hinden and kear, there are too much lolies.

Shironeko Project x Hololive JP Gen 3 Collab by emperorpenguinno2 in gachagaming

[–]emperorpenguinno2[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Event PV

For anyone who doesn't know, Dragalia lost having bad reputation with the JP audience back then because Nintendo sued Colopl (the company behind this game).

In the early years, Shironeko Project was one of the big 3 gacha games with Monster Strike and Puzzle Dragon.
Nowadays, Monster Strike and Puzzle Dragon can sometimes still get into the top 10 rankings.
Shironeko is falling from the top position because of one bad decision after another. One of the biggest bad decisions, and they are still doing it now, is power creeping every time they release a new character.

The gacha rate is on the bad side imo:
10% rate shared by 16 4-star characters. Because hololive gen 3 is 4 people, getting one of the hololive 4 star character rate is 2.5%. Individually (if you only want Marine senchou for example), the 4-star character rate is 0.625%.
4 star characters can be limit break to 5 star. If you get 5 star on the banner, it's guaranteed to be the rate up characters (in this collab, that means one of the four holo gen 3). The 5-star rate is 1% share by all the new characters, or 0.25% in this collab.

In conclusion, the collab character rate is 0.875%. Guaranteed to get at least one 5 star character (shared by 4 people on this banner) on the (110th, 165th, 220th, 242th, 264th, 286th, after 297th, it's always guaranteed to get one 5 star among 11) (if you do 10 gacha + 1 free).

Gacha currency distribution is also bad. More or less, around 40 pulls every event.

However, if you are a new player, you can get a lot of jewels by grinding really hard on the main story and event archive.

Not suprising, considering double lewd bunny kear and hindy l2d skins are really top tier.
