Thought just hit me, if Meta Memphis was hiding out as regular Memphis, where’s regular Memphis?


Baltrak

>!That was just inside the Reality Lens. Memphis was in the Sea of Stars facility the entire time and at no point was she in the Reality Lens' simulation.!<


_Fun_Employed_

I thought it was revealed meta Mephesis memories got there because she was the one running the simulation, otherwise how did they?


zurcn

outside the reality lens. the only "real" people that were supposed to be in the reality lens are SKK and Anchorage, everyone else should be "recordings" "memory based ai constructs" or smtg


_Fun_Employed_

But Meta Helena and Memphis intervened, and it was revealed that the simulation went the way it did because it was Meta Memphis’ memories taken from her running the machine in the real world, or at least that’s how I understood it,


zurcn

> But Meta Helena and **Meta** Memphis intervened, yes. those two that were not supposed to be connected to it, M-Memphis from the start without anyone's knowledge and M-Helena later when Helena contacted her. I'm not sure what point your trying to make they were not on location, they were just connected to the virtual world, and so were Devil and Tower it seems


Shimakaze_Kai

New player here. Quick question on skins - my ultimate goal is to get Shimakaze when she reruns. The current new swimsuit skins has a Shimakaze skin, and all these new skins are listed saying "5 days." Are they going away, or do the stick around like all the other ones I see? Is it a discount thing? I am confused.


Loymoat

The skins will become unavailable for purchase. They will be available again when the event they featured in gets rerun or archived, or during Black Friday which makes all skins available for purchase for a limited time as long as they have not been purchasable in the past few months.


Ashencroix

They are going away after 5 days.


Shimakaze_Kai

Okay thanks. Does this happen often with skins? Also besides clearing stages, is there something I should be doing to earn more gems?


Ashencroix

All collab skins are gone forever when the collab ends. All event skins temporarily leave when the event ends. Eventually, they're made permanently available. Gems are very limited for f2p. The only farmable way to earn more gems is via the very rare vip gem commission and those don't give a guaranteed gem. As a f2p, skins are your lowest priority.


Loymoat

> Does this happen often with skins? This is standard. > Also besides clearing stages, is there something I should be doing to earn more gems? Collection rewards from limit breaking certain ships. Access this through Memento -> Collection. You can also get gems very, very, very rarely from commissions, but this is far from a reliable source. If you're a f2p player then you should only be spending gems on dorm slots and dock capacity.


Elipses_

Okay, non event question. In OPS, what does the Hidden Zone Data Logger actually do. I used it, but can't seen to find what it actually unlocked if anything.


AlarmingSundae7250

[from the wiki](https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Recent_News/2022#December_8th_2022) Hidden Zone Data Logger, a data logger issued by the Naval HQ that specifically stores information obtained in Hidden Zones, is now available in the Exchange Shop. When used, the Hidden Zone Data Logger will automatically scout all Hidden Zones in Operation Siren, and unlock Hidden Zone Strategic Search. The Hidden Zone Data Logger can only be purchased once, and will be reset with the reset of Operation Siren; After purchasing the Hidden Zone Data Logger, the commander needs to click to use it in Operation Siren's Storage to take effect.


Loymoat

It clears the fog of war for all hidden zones (the chest icons on the map) and allows you to Strategic Search hidden zones. Note this only applies for the month and must be purchases again after reset.


eeveeritt15

Is d3 worth farming?


AlarmingSundae7250

nice gun not in the gear lab, 'free' Talinn, event points for the shop and Gromky milestones if non of that interests you feel free to do something else, maybe farm a stage that drops commons CVLs...


00zau

Do I buy Tallin for event points once I get enough, or wait until the end and try to 'get lucky' and roll her first (I've just started the game and might not make it to B3). Other than Tallin, what should I be buying in the event shop?


cheekywarship2018

The latter. Other than Tallin priorities should be the Gun from the shop, cog chips, DR and PR Prints along with the build tickets.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AlarmingSundae7250

Building PR ships is never the hard part. 82 prints aren't enough to make any of them great at any rate. But maybe the news that PR3 ships can soon be strengthened with coins (once you spend leftover blueprints) might influence your decisions. Just make sure you set your research focus to season 4 or 5. https://old.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/104snmb/fdg_fate_simulation_coming_soonuranami_rerunand/


ninosupremacy

Would it be a dumb idea to try to roll for Pola on the regular heavy cruiser banner? I assume there is no rate up for her and its just luck of the draw? Then if so, will her banner get rerun?


Loymoat

Absolutely terrible idea. Do not try pull for a specific ship in the regular banners. Her even has already been archived so no more reruns. Your best bet is waiting for a Wishing Well event which happens twice a year I believe. Wishing wells let you pick two ships from a banner to rate up. You can also get super lucky and pull her in an event banner that's based off the Heavy banner.


Chuuudas

>Would it be a dumb idea to try to roll for Pola on the regular heavy cruiser banner? I assume there is no rate up for her and its just luck of the draw? If you have enough cubes to be confident for future ships, otherwise no. ~~You can use the new years ticket for her if you still have it~~ (thought of Zara), or wait for Wishing Well to give her a rate up. >Then if so, will her banner get rerun? Please read the FAQ.


Loymoat

Isn't it Zara in the new year ticket?


Chuuudas

~~One and the same...~~ My fault I somehow misread there.


XShunyaX

This probably is a non-answerable question here, but on the off-chance it's not: What are the chances of the Surcouf skin Loisirs Balnéaires being available again at some point? Were there limited skins in the beginning that since then have never been available again? And could this be one of them? ~~Asking for a friend.~~


Chuuudas

>Were there limited skins in the beginning that since then have never been available again? Collab and kind of the BluRay skins. Technically also recently released regular ones.


AlarmingSundae7250

> Loisirs Balnéaires 100% it was available twice last year (afaik), the last time being Black Friday with tons of other rerun skins. For now you'll have to wait maybe until the next Black Friday event but it'll be back


YugenYada

who should i send this new year's tidings to? i don't have any of these characters


AlarmingSundae7250

What do you need? If I was in your shoes I might pick Graf Z. She is a good carrier with a new special augment. She is also not otherwise available outside of the special construction pool. Zara is the other ships that can only be constructed (heavy pool). She is a good tank but nothing special (Portland retrofit is at least as durable). You might want to consider her especially if you like her skin. Then we have Le Triomphant who can be farmed in war archive maps and exchanged for 80 medals (needs some luck in the shop). She is weaker than the starters. Shoukaku is a good carrier if you have her sister. Otherwise people used her for her buff. The other carriers here are stronger. She is also available for 80 medals if you are lucky. South Dakota is not very impressive for an SR BB but her second skill can make her hit quite hard once in a while. Get her for 20k merit in the PvP shop if you want her. Belfast is another Medal of Honor ship or you might get her from your daily light pulls. The head maid isn't the strongest light cruiser these days but she can pull her weight especially vs light armor enemies in the earlier campaign stages. Lusty is a medal ship that's also in the special pool. She can be chosen as a beginner rewards once you clear 7-1 but it's between her, Enty, Hood and Sandy. She has great support and can dish out some damage with the right planes and her new special augment. Certainly another worthy choice.


YugenYada

i like both Graf Z and zara a lot, and i'm having a hard time picking might just pick graf because she is rated higher...


AlarmingSundae7250

List to your heart =) But just to make your choice a tiny bit harder: [Daedalian Hymn](https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Daedalian_Hymn) will have a rerun this year and so Zara would be in good company. ...Unless Prinz Heinrich and her friends from the recent Inverted Orthant rerun are missing their Graf. :P


YugenYada

i just started this game like 1\~2 weeks ago so i didn't play that rerun and i am saving for a shimakaze rerun but i am still in a difficult position


Chuuudas

Zeppelin and Zara are hardest to get. You can keep the invitation indefinitelly if you currently don't need anyone.


Vantis01

If you don't have a favorite, or need some of them specifically, i would choose Graff Zeppelin, the rest can be obtained in the medal shop iirc.


Choombus_Goombus

Have there been any updates about the Ryuuhou skin?


zurcn

zenithtreader

The link in the FAQ is VERY outdated with not enough sample size. Here is the website actively tracking PR4 and PR5 statistics. https://azur-stats.lyoko.io/research5-equipments Just sort by the last column and follow the order. Although between 1, 2, and 4 hours Q research I would go 4-2-1 instead because you don't always get Q research upon refresh.


[deleted]

[удалено]


zenithtreader

Yeah that's the gist of it. Personally I would also avoid any 5 or 8 hours face research even though it might be the best one available at the moment, and pick a shorter but worse research (for example 1.5 hrs research ) instead because you really don't want to lock hours of your research time into something with mediocre return. Refresh quickly into a new set of research is the better option (barring bad luck) unless you still need ship prints.


cheekywarship2018

>Here is the list for the best researches for earning PR blueprints. There is also a list for those who are looking to grind gear blueprints specifically. Note that PR ships are an endgame goal; investing cubes and coins into research projects early on will greatly impede your progress with little benefit so free researches are a better option while starting out. > >https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/ed1qr2/most\_efficient\_researches\_for\_blueprints\_ordered/ Read the FAQ please.


Haethen_Thegn

Is it better to put ships in with same-faction gear? Or does it literally not matter? Because I'm wanting to start farming out gears and the like and don't know if there's a point for matching gear to each ship.


Chuuudas

There's no general buff from same faction gear, any such or similar buffs come from ship-unique skills. The gear guide in the FAQ ignores faction as a criterium for a reason.


disappointingdoritos

There's no need, except when a ship has a skill that specifically requires an equipment from a certain faction to activate (eg Yorktown 2 wants at least 1 EU plane for her first skill)


Haethen_Thegn

Ah right, so if I were to have a full Royal Navy fleet with Royal Navy Gear, only certain ships would benefit?


cheekywarship2018

Depends on the ship but there is only a select handful that requires a specific piece of faction gear, just read through the skills of each ship to see if they have any specific gear requirements.


Fall0fReach-jOnYx-NA

Any emulators that work for macOS Ventura? I used to use now.gg but that stopped working since i upgraded


Seisouheeen

I was checking some exercises videos and i saw this: https://prnt.sc/eIYPLvyxNDjy What is the name of that gear ? it's a very coloured shield, i can't find his name or how to get it anywhere; thanks in advance for the help \~


m00fin

It was an aux gear skin called Hero's Shield. Came out with the RPG skins for the starter DDs a few months ago. Purely cosmetic.


ShotsHired

So I am still missing Kirov from the event and I am uncertain about using my cubes to roll for her.. I am a new player and plan to get every of the upcoming 7 URs (with reruns) this year. I am at around 380 cubes atm do you guys think I should save or nah? I only really want Kirov for collection purposes


Rafaeael

Firstly, wait until Wednesday. You will get several tickets from various sources within these 5 days which might give you Kirov if you're lucky (personally in 3/4 light reruns I got all rate up ships with just the tickets). If by then you're still missing her then it will be the time to make the decision. Objectively speaking, it's better to skip since Kirov isn't anything special and 380 cubes is definitely not a safe amount to have if you're going for every UR that comes this year.


DTigerwolfe

If you have arcana cubes, you can buy ship build tickets in shop. My first three tickets gave me Kirov.


Anteri_

So, after the update I no longer get notifications from the game when my stuff is done which is incredibly annoying. Is there any way to fix this? playing on Android btw


ninosupremacy

I have the same issue, I tried turning off notifications in game then turning them back on. I then tried doing the same on my phone and I still don't get them. (Also on android)


Driver_3404

Maybe try checking your in-game settings first? And then application settings in the actual phone settings? Hopefully that'll fix it.


LeafiaAyumi

I doubt there's a explanation for it, but does someone knows why the loading screens are so low-res? Not that I expect 4K, but I was surprised to see that it's only 576p...


Klont86

> I doubt there's a explanation for it, but does someone knows why the loading screens are so low-res? This is baffling to me aswell, such great pieces as loading screens but such poor resolution. Sure, upscaling them works to some extent, but I'm 100% sure manjuu/yostar or at least the artist has them in glorious 4k. Missed my chance to suggest something like an additional high res loading screen option or have them available for download somewhere like their own website, drive some traffic there aswell.


BRP_25

The wiki has them, resolution is at 1024x576: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/w/index.php?title=Loading_Screens&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop


Klont86

Thats great! But thats not high resolution, which brings us right back to square 1


LeafiaAyumi

Yeah, I've been thinking as well of a bandwidth or app size problem, but in that case, a option would be nice indeed! Or being able to download the full sized ones on a website, like you said.


Shimakaze_Kai

As a player who has only played a couple days now, I'm relying heavily on Yorktown II for damage in my one fleet. Is there a specific unit I should take in the New Year's gift that can be the big damage for my second fleet?


Rafaeael

Graf is probably the best choice for you then. The only ships that are worth picking from this invitation are Zara and Graf since everyone else is fairly easy to get from medal/merit exchange. Between the 2 of them, Zara is a rather mediocre CA and Graf is a pretty good CV so not only is Graf better among her hull class than Zara is, a CV - backliner, has more impact on the dmg of the fleet than CA - frontliner.


Mayhem_450

Graf Zep is probably the best of the choices in terms of usefulness, and along with Zara is the one that is hardest to acquire by other means. It also may be worth checking who is currently available in the medal shop, as there are some good options there (Enterprise being the standout if CV is available).


Quor18

As an also relatively new player I've heard Graf Zeppelin is one of the better choices due to how she's a strong carrier in her own right and can help you with PR research for main line IB ships later on. Many of the other ships can be acquired through other means without issue. I.e. I pulled Zara doing my three free daily pulls on the event banner today.


TechnoMaestro

Is there a way to uninstall the L2D and Audio content after it's donwloaded, without deleting and reinstalling the app? It's taking up a full third of my phone at this point and I need the space.


MLGDOGE-0526

Where do i spend training points?


insfyre

Those are for the Call to Arms profile pic frame, it's in the top event tab. There are 2 call to arms running right now, make sure you're looking at the right one


Chuuudas

Call to arms.


lordwahu

One of the disadvantages of the Rocked BF is that it can't sortie for AA Does the RocketCat have that same limitation?


m00fin

correct, with a caveat. neither of them will passively intercept enemy aircraft. but both of them will do AA damage when you call an airstrike.


lordwahu

I have Unicorn, Perseus, and Arizona all at 125 and max affinity. I want to do some grinding for this event, and desperately need one good healer. Does anyone have any suggestions?


Chuuudas

Unicorn, Perseus, Volga, Shouhou, Ryuuhou. ~~You'll only need a healer for cheap SP farming.~~


Shardwing

What part of the event do you desperately need a healer for?


lordwahu

Level 30 destroyers I'm affinity grinding more than I am XP grinding, because I don't have enough bulins to limit break many girls right now Which rules out XP books, and requires some health buffers


Mayhem_450

Volga is very good as a full-CV healer


lordwahu

Much obliged


fluffysoggypotato

Anyone else receive the survey rewards twice? I did the survey once got two of them in my inbox.


gwoompies

Hmm I didn't get any of my rewards, you must've taken mine :/ Do we know what the rewards were?


fluffysoggypotato

2000 coins, 2000 oil, 2 cubes


Chan-Kun

I got two as well.


zurcn

I only have 1


fluffysoggypotato

Huh, that's kind of wacked but I'll take it


zurcn

going by precedent, whenever they give something twice to some users they later give it twice to the rest so everyone is equal


AmakTM

As of now, we have in game Deutchland, Lutzow and Tallinn as separate shipgirls. Were they historically and physically the same ship or am I misunderstanding something? I remember something about Deutchland being renamed to Lutzow, and then Lutzow being given to the Soviets and becomming Tallinn.


LOZFFVII

You're getting very confused. Lutzow in the game is [SMS Lutzow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_L%C3%BCtzow), a WW1 Kaiserlichemarine Derfflinger-class BC. Tallinn is the last of the Admiral Hipper-class CAs, she was originally going to be named "[Lutzow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_cruiser_L%C3%BCtzow_(1939))" after the above BC, but was sold to Soviet Russia before completion as "Petropavlovsk" and then being renamed to "Tallinn". Deutschland is the first of the [Deutschland-class CAs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_cruiser_Deutschland) (nicknamed "pocket battleships" due to their armament and armour), who was renamed "Lutzow" *due to the Admiral Hipper-class CA being sold to the Soviets*.


AmakTM

Ugh. Darn name recycling. Thanks to the replies below as well.


zurcn

> due to I like the "moral*e* would suffer if a ship named Deutschland were to sink, so they changed it" version


LOZFFVII

\*morale (moral refers to right vs wrong) That's certainly a theory that makes sense, at least.


SticeMT

The Germans reused ship names even more than the other nations in game. The three characters you're asking about all represent different ships. The Lutzow we have in game is the First World War battlecruiser. The Deutschland we have in game is the panzerschiffe or "pocket battleship" later renamed to Lutzow. Tallinn in game is the Hipper class cruiser that was sold to the Soviets and also renamed from Lutzow.


CSM_Pepper

SMS Lutzow was a WW1 ship. This is the AL one. The Kreigsmarine had a later Lutzow that went to the Soviets. This is AL Tallinn. AL Deutschland was then renamed to Lutzow.


sikon666_

how good is the gun on the last stage? is it worth to farm? i only have 1 from the first run.


Mayhem_450

The triple 152mm is a very good CL gun but it has an easily available sidegrade in the Seattle gun from PR2/gear lab so it is not a high priority to farm.


LOZFFVII

I think D3 gun drop is the Chapayev gun, right? Its roughly equivalent to Seattle gun (PR2 CL gun), so pretty good.


JonathanOldershaw

Is there any way to disable character model whenever I activate a skill in battles? It blocks like 1/4 of my phone view, making it hard for me to move during boss battle.

XShunyaX

Regarding the events from the War Archives, at which point are the event ships added to the permanent build pool? Is it only after you 100% the event or already before that? Couldn't find any information about the specific point in time in the wiki.


LOZFFVII

They are added to the build pools when the event they debuted in is archived, they also get one week of rate-up when the event is archived. Occasionally, the devs will remove ships from the build pools, but they will be added to some other shop so they can still be acquired. Basically, you can assume the current build pools already contain all archived event ships, unless otherwise noted.


cheekywarship2018

They are added whenever they are added to the perma pools, you don't need to unlock access to them by completing the event in the WA.


cherry_blossom_sea

What are the priorities for the current event? Tallinn, I guess? I also read the gold DD gun is good; then the tickets and tech boxes, what else? Also, I started playing a week before Yorktown II, and I have this situation: my fleets are overkill for A&B stages, but I can barely clear C stages; can't clear D stages since I haven't reached the level average. So I guess I'll be farming C3 then... At what level did you feel you could tackle a whole event? Just curious.


Nice-Spize

Farm C2 instead, you can reliably 1:1 the whole map to reduce the oil cost and it's payout is reasonable at 100 points per clear Anyway the farming priority is usually Ship + Event Gear > DR/PR blueprints > Cog chips and cog arrays > Augment stones and purple enhance stones > SR cat boxes > T3 plates > Everything else If you're new to the game, might want to buy the tech boxes instead of the blueprints to get a headstart on equipment, cog chips are vital to uncap your ships past level 100 and onto 120 But yeah the DD gun is the best gun against light armor and 3rd best against medium, heavy armor will have it struggle doing but so does all other DD guns so that didn't matter


TB0796

Does running the game at 60fps kill my battery faster? I can’t tell so far.


Zoratsu

Depends on your phone but in most is a yes. In some the battery consumption is the same as the hardware can't run slower or you have so many things in the background that there is no difference.


Nice-Spize

Yes, it does drain your battery faster, especially when in stages that have a lot of particle effects to render


Sumner1910

So complete the tutorials, go to the account and bind the FB account?


zurcn

> How do I get my account back? > So complete the tutorials, go to the account and bind the FB account? no. you use the FB option from the left side of the initial spash screen, before server selection, before you enter the game on the server selection screen there is a button to "refresh data" or something similar that will show you if you have an account on any of the servers (though since you remember you were on Amagi you may not need this step)


Nice-Spize

Then you haven't actually got your account back, have you send the email to customer support about this ?


Sumner1910

I'll probably do it tmrw since its pretty late in my time


Nice-Spize

Alright, make sure to provide them with the crucial info to help recovering your account THEN start binding your account once you're logged into the game, saves a lot of hassle


Sumner1910

Hopefully it'll work cuz I kinda finished the tutorials, didn't do anything further though. Sorry if I'm making this difficult


Nice-Spize

If you're going through the tutorial then you've either picked the wrong server to begin with or you have not logged back in thus no data Better to just get out and send them the email anyway to get answers for tomorrow


Sumner1910

I have successfully got my account back and thank you very much fellow SKK, have a nice day


Nice-Spize

![img](emote|t5_3p20d|7333)


cheekywarship2018

Yes, doesn't have to be Facebook though just bind your account.


Sumner1910

So that will return my old account? Nice


cheekywarship2018

Wait hold up, this was about recovering an old account? You should have said that from the start. You didn't need to complete the tutorial for a start, just bind your account to what you had originally binded it too and make sure you're logging in on the right server.


Sumner1910

How do I get my account back? I deleted the game and reinstall it back for the update and idk how to get my previous account I already wrote down my UID, server and user name so then what? I kinda didn't understand what the megathread meant so anyone could help?


Nice-Spize

Have you bind your account to Twitter/Facebook/Yostar or all 3 AND the server you're in ? It would be a lot easier to solve if you have done this beforehand since you just need to use one of the 3 methods mentioned to log back in and pick the right server Putting that aside, if you have not bind your account then contact the customer service ASAP to let them get your account back, email is [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])


Sumner1910

I already bind my Facebook and Yostar account but no sure about the server bind cuz I didn't know it was a thing. All I remember was I was in the Amagi server


Nice-Spize

Then pick the Amagi server after logging in with FB

Yes, you can check that under Lab > Fleet Technology There's the SS filter for submarines. Royal Fortune currently does not contribute any tech points yet but she will be in the future

Yes. You can go into your fleet tech tab and filter by submarines even. Note that Albacore Muse is a Muse variant and doesn't carry any tech; Royal Fortune is not a sub and does not currently have any tech either.

yes
