Azur Lane Update: Major Oath System Changes and Massive Censorship, 800 Gems Compensation

Recently, the developers of Azur Lane announced a series of major changes, including significant modifications to the Oath System and a massive wave of character art censorship. The most controversial change is the renaming of the 'Oath Ring' to 'Eternal Box', alongside a restriction that allows only one Oath frame to be displayed at a time, effectively ruining the 'harem' display experience many players valued. Additionally, numerous popular characters and skins, such as Implacable and Friedrich der Grosse, have been censored. The developers provided 800 gems as compensation.

The community reaction is overwhelmingly negative. Players are using the slang 'da de yao lai le' (the big one is coming), signaling a fear of impending crackdowns from authorities. Many veterans feel exhausted, arguing that the game's core appeal—its revenue model based on skin sales—has been crippled. Discussions are currently centered on whether the 'Anti-Censorship' (fhx) mods can still save the experience. Some players blame the current climate of malicious reporting within the community for inviting this regulatory hammer.
