    Merry Christmas! Thanks for all the content over the year.
    I feel a little guilty to say I got Yorktown II as my very first build and Northampton II was in the same multi. Hammann II however wasn't letting that slide and took 80 to get. Still the best UR luck I've had all year. I also got bullied by the subs. They must be out for us all this event.
    Keep up the good work!

    Man, that was a feel bad batch of pulls, I do appreciate the fact you take it in stride rather than ranting like some other youtubers.
    I had a good run myself, got Yorktown on my fist 10 pull, ended up 60 pulls to get all the gatcha onlys (+ Hornet II), and got a Second Yorktown to boot.

    Getting the Northampton skin was an easy choice! I was deciding between Noshiro and Heinrich, but Noshiro barely won in the end. Her swimsuit is so simple and yet so elegant! Took me also around 160 pulls to get Yorktown 2, so hopefully next time we both will have more luck!

    Just got mine Yorktown II after 330 cubes spent, plus done 7 hours of livestreaming the event. Bought Chkalov's swimsuit and enjoying every curve on her body, got like 4 Northhampton II and 4 Hammann II until getting Yorktown II. I was getting Kronshtadt vibes from last year where I had to pity. But at least I'm at 277 cubes and going to restock back to 600 and more

    Got Yorktown II in the very first ten pull, Hammann II and Northampton II came somewhere in the middle, and got Hornet II on my 200th cube pull. Essex also came home twice to celebrate the joy of more sisters coming home. That 0.5% rate-up never ever fails me. Proceeded to grab Plymouth and Chkalov's swimsuits alongside Harbin's, and got Hornet II's from the goodie bag. All such great views that were definitely worth the spend for the holidays.

  • @KiraYamato74
    @KiraYamato74 Рік тому +1

    Yeah, early in the builds I got two of the 'wrong' Yorktowns, though I could never badmouth such an elegant lady. Build #9 was Hamman, so we both got her first. Northampton II was #14, so we both got her 2nd. Hornet didn't show up till build #41... and Yorktown II decided to gracefully appear as build #25. Banner cleared by Sunday morning. One day, I'll finish a banner on day 1 - Not this time. Now for all those exceptional swimsuit skins! :D Langley.... from loli-looking sensei to simply petite, sexy hot teacher. What a character morphing there! Happy event grind to you, and a good New Year, as well.

    only did one 10pull at the start and got 2x Yorktown II. only doing dailys now and got Northampton II the second Day. Only Hammann II missing. did get her skin in the luckybag tho xD and Chkalov skin wouldnt have buyed any of these two because of money, so its nice to have anyway. Picked up the Yorktown II, Hornet II, Plymouth and Brest skins from the Gems i got with the lucky bags
    first event where i could get more cubes then i spend at the end^^
    sad you hit the pity, but at least you have the cubes to spent^^ thanks as always for the nice skin reviews. it's so nice to listen to them and cant wait for hearing it again with the next event =)

    Oh boy, this event!
    I got extremely lucky this time around and pulled Yorktown II AND Hammann II in the first 10 pull! Northampton II came along not long after, which THANK GOODNESS. I was extremely worried that I would have to hit pity again after hitting pity in Vanguard's, Shinano's rerun, and Musashi's events... I am grateful that it wasn't the case. Overall it took me only 43 pulls for the rate-up ships, which beats my record of 50 pulls (from New Jersey's event). I am super grateful for the game placing mercy on me, my cubes and my coins in that regard. 🙏
    I also decided to buy both swimsuit lucky bags, and I lucked out in both of those as well, getting Brest's skin and Noshiro's skin, and believe me that I was super excited about getting 2 of the L2Ds from the bags. I also decided to buy seven other skins, being the rest of the PR5 skins, Prinz Heinrich, Bolzano, Yorktown II and Northampton II. My poor wallet is crying but it's Christmas time, so why not treat yourself anyway? :P
    In any case, this has been an amazing event and I'm ready to spend all my oil to get everything! 👏

    It took me 115 pulls to get all rate ups. 3 Yorktowns IIs (a Hawk2zer0 moment?), 3-4 tsuncat IIs. About 9+ non rate up golds, a few Witchitas, and finally Northampton II.
    What is a rate up indeed. I am hoping this allows Hornet to gain popularity.
    I feel I used up my bad luck in this and FGO.

    thanks for the great coverage E. this event surely got the whole package, we got significant lore expansion, beatiful new ships and the much awaited bikini skins, they also were more daring with the loading screens this time around. then there is also new consequential gear. we also got a surprisingly large amount of mini games and miscelaneous mini events, I never get too excited about these since I plain have more fun playign the game proper and rather spend my time playing that, but I always apreciate the effort.
    for me the prize for most beutiful art goes to Harbin's skin, the texture of the lighting in her skin makes her figure look so attractive. on another note, I hope the initiative to make skins slightly animated when not L2D becomes the norm. the landscape has changed for mobile games since 2017, anime games has been being released for a while with all character having some degreaa of dynamic animation for their default art, leave alone skins, such as nikke and artery gear to give a couple examples. the biggest challenge I guess is that some players would complain for the even bigger game size.
    I was wainting for years for them to let us apply skins on the muse Ships, it should always have been that way. as for my pulls, I went through 50 pulls without getting a single event ship, but then got Yorktown, hanman and Northampton in the next 20 pulls. Hornet will come thtrough the Grind sooner or later

    • @GuardianEPlays
      @GuardianEPlays  Рік тому

      Thank you for the supportive comment! I did notice these loading screens are top notch. They often are, honestly, but the skins are similarly racy this time around.
      Harbin's skin is really something else. Yeah, I'm sure there are size considerations with the new motion type skins, but many games have solutions to increase or reduce quality or download limited assets. We'll have to see, but the overall size of the game has been a matter of concern.
      The skin swapping is a really cool idea. Also gives some of these skins a little more value, and gives them some future proofing against future Type-IIs or variants like Muses. Congrats on the banner-only sweep!

  • @3Xblade

    Always love your descriptions of the skins. Absolute class. 😎I managed to get all the new ships (except Hornet II) in 170 cubes. Even managed to pick up I-19, who I (somehow) didn't have. Also simultaneously hoping and not hoping they make figures for many of these skins, because, oh my I need that Plymouth, Hornet II, and a number of the other characters on the AL shelf.
    Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Here's to more gorgeous AL girls in the future!

    I guess you were about as lucky as me with the ship drops. Yorktown never showed up for me either (I'm 180/200 now), and it took me 120 pulls before I got my first Northampton. But I got eight million Hammans and Hornet was in my first ten-pull. So ???. Gacha gonna gacha. And unlike Musashi (I never managed to get her), I at least have enough cubes to reach the pity before the end of the event now.
    As for the skins, my, they are delicious. The animated ones where the characters move that are like an inbetween for statics and LD2's skins is quite a nice idea too. Yorktown's skin is as enticing as ever (still gotta pull her though), but Kazagumo is very cute as well. Her little story was adorable too - I hope they do those short character stories with other skins in the future.
    And thanks for all the content this year! Happy holidays!

      Damn, that's frustrating. I'm sorry Yorktown II didn't show up for you either. But that safety net is there, and I'm glad you have that option this time.
      The skins are out of this world. Love the inclusion on new Dynamic skins, and bringing back the swimsuits is such a big morale boost for the community, I think. I also love the little skin stories they do. I think they ought to do them more often. I'm sure it'd help sell skins.
      Thank you for always being supportive! Hope you have amazing holiday!

    Poor Guardian. My experience was the exact opposite. By 130 pulls, I had JUST got my first copy of Northampton, but along the way I picked up MLB Hammann II and 3 Yorktown II. He did get TWO Hornet IIs though....so thats where the luck went.

    Had some luck left at the end of the year: only 50 pulls to sweep the banner. And of course, the first event ship was hornet 2. The joke with the missing 2 behind the ships name was everywhere xD. Gratz for your sweep.
    I really love the new sr/ur. The designe reworks are gorgeous.
    Same with the skins: the quality, the new motion skins... I hope they keep that as the standard.
    The Prinz Heinrich skin is the cutest thing ever in the game. She is so adorable and finally has a l2d. Headpats and cuddles to her.
    Sadly, Prinz Rupprecht only got a skin in the loading screens... together with a bust upgrade...
    Now, all that's left is to play the story.

      No commons isn't that rare, unless its the light pool (which has higher common odds than heavy and special). Also the URs 1.2% is taken out of the common chance, making it ever so slightly less.

Of course since this is an amazing event for the end of the year I splurged all the way haha... we have similar taste as i also bought every single skin you did haha these skins are just so damn good! Even though I loved all the variety of themes of skins they did this year, swimsuits were definitely missed and they finally delivered!

    Seeing you just casually pull three: *Visible pain*
    Going to wait for xmas present (google play giftcards?) but YorkII and Shimakaze seem definite pickups.
    There's a loading screen with Rupprecht in a swimsuit *grumbles*
    I saw that topup there. When 6000 gems aint enough, even with starting out with 2 of the skins already 😱

      Congratulations on the sweep! It's a tough choice, but if you have a healthy cube supply, I think it's worth going in on the event banner still for dailies, just to ease the grind a bit. And the possibility of getting missing Elites is a nice bonus.
      Nothing like a little holiday treat. Really glad they opted to add Dynamic mode to Yorktown II's.
      Lots of really saucy loading screens dropped with this batch. Real eyecandy abound.
      I definitely have no qualms about supporting the devs when they finally deliver on what I've been requesting for so long. We went hard with the gems.
