I actually wanted to start one with the exact same title just now. Still 3 minutes to go in the maintenance. Hoping to get Kongou today.

>>11349356
They said the maintenance will be extended to 18:30 JST due to database error.

Latest announcement
They will be opening up servers that is confirmed to have no problems as soon as the checking is done instead of 8 servers at once per original plan.

>>11349347

>>11349384

>>11349350

>I was doing a final confirmation confirmation of maintenance work dawn today, there is a problem with the part of the synchronization of the D / B server, we are re-installation check. I am sorry. I was aiming to open all eight simultaneous server group, but will open purge, ahead the server check has been completed.

>>11349386
7 Assigned Base (Server)
12 Mission Win/Loss/Ratio
13 Expedition Win/Loss/Ratio
14 Exercise (PVP) Win/Loss/Ratio

I want a Yamato as compensation for the extra time !

Finally. Come in, guys.

>>11349406
Dammit

>>11349412
Huh. That's strange. Mine is fine, so far.

>>11349420
Server 7 is good to go from the latest tweet.

>>11349420
They're only opening servers that is confirmed to have no problems.

>>11349422
No, they're saying all 7 servers except Yokosuka (server 1) are good to go.

>>11349427
If I remember correctly, I'm on the 7th and I'm getting the maintenance screen too.

>>11349432
If you got >>11349412 screen, it means server is overloaded due to flood of sign-in attempts.
Try again in few minutes.

Seems like you go on expedition with damaged girls anymore.

Does someone have the complete changelog?

Seems like you can't go on expedition with damaged girls anymore.

Does someone have the complete changelog?

>>11349435
Okay thanks
I'm excited to see my shipdaughters.

>>11349441

* current summer event (E maps) is over
* System update (mainly flagship system)
* Some of enemy ships in map 3, 4 will be replaced.
* enemy's AI(or strategy) against player's submarine will be upgraded.
* launching a new DD girl, drop off from 3-4.
* new tapestry to celebrate 500k accounts, etc.


* If your flagship is critically damaged. (aka. red damage), the fleet can't start sortie.
* In map, if your flagship got red damage in previous battle, you can't go further.
* Added actions for consorts that they will randomly shield your flagship.
Your consorts should be reasonably undamaged (normal or yellow) to make this happen.

Two items from past event or server ranking rewards will be added into the normal weapon crafting.

1. 彗星一二型甲, 3 stars, bomber plane. +10 bombing, +2 anti-sub, +1 scouting.
2. 三式水中探信儀, 3 stars, +6 anti-sub sonar.


Practice

1. Now, both fleets take 単縦陣（1st formation） each other.
2. Buffed aiming against submarines.

Looks like all servers except 7 are up and running.
server 7 up at 20:00 JST ;_;

>>11349444
Seems like consort shield action is only possible with green(good condition) as Anon corrected himself.

>>11349444
I saw a flagship in the 3-2 farm spot ; ;

>>11349446
Stay strong fellow Yokosuka Admiral.
Let's just distract ourselves to pass time.

>400/30/700/30
>400/100/600/30
Still no Kongou.

>>11349444
Thanks
So now, putting your aircraft carrier as a flagship seems like a good idea to prevent 15Hour repair and 600 metal repair cost.

>>11349457
Try 400/400/800/100
I now always go for heavy craft, since i don't care about ammunition, and it's only 200 more metal for an almost guaranted battleship.

>>11349452
comfirmed.
Flagship + 2 elite.
back to 2-4 I guess ...
Damn this spot was convenient..

Huh, 2-2 boss now only has heavy cruisers, no single carrier.

>>11349475
No, there're still two sets. One with and one without.

>>11349475
There are several boss lineups.

>>11349480
Oh, so that's the case. Seems I was lucky to meet that one.

>>11349457
I know that feeling, i've been farming 2-2 for days and crafting, no Kongou but a shitload of Yamashiro.

I have like 10 of them. ;_;

>>11349467
>58mins
Oh RNG god, why?

>doing 2-2

Dis game

>>11349505
>use CV recipe
>get light cruiser

>>11349513
According to this >>11349347 , it's not.

>>11349505
step it up

You just have to say to yourself that you DON'T want kongou.

>>11349521
It could be happened. From wiki, there's around 10-15% chance that you get CL from the first two recipes. Not sure about the others, but should be similiar.

>>11349521
Nope, that only lists where a particular ship should at least appear. That picture doesn't guarantee that you'll get the ship you want. For example if you use the 400/30/600/30 recipe for a battleship, there's only a small chance that you'll get a battleship. Most that you'll get off that are heavy cruisers.

Who got a list of best ships of each classes?

>>11349541
The answer is always Naka-chan
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21653709

>>11349531
That's what I'm going to do. I'm just going to stroll casually through stage 2. Nope, not going to expect anything at all.

>>11349538
>>11349540
>http://www56.atwiki.jp/kancolle/pages/45.html
It's more likely to get a battleship though.

>>11349564
1st three tries using the battleship recipe I got 3 BBs; Kirishima, Fuso and Ise. Since then I haven't got any BBs using it. Pains me to see a lot of resources are wasted on an LC when you're using a CV recipe though.
But I don't mind getting HCs from BB recipe.

>>11349564
The chance is still there, though. Even recent comments reported CL from that recipe.

>>11349574
That was what I got for the rest of my attempts except for this. Gonna take it slow anyway, having 2 battleship in my fleet is taking a toll on my resources.

>>11349540
Also keep in mind that people are more likely to report big success than crap built. So those percentage numbers of the big guns might be inflated

>>11349593
I never tried crafting CVs after I got like 3 LCs from it (one is rare though). Now I already have Akagi, Ryujou and Chiyoda; Akagi from the quest reward, Ryujou as a drop and Chiyoda remodelled.
I still want a Kaga though.

>>11349467
>Try 400/400/800/100
> for an almost guaranted battleship.
Stop talking horseshit.
It works like for this anon >>11349574
First 3 times I got 3 battleships, sine then I tried it around 10 times and getting heavy and light cruisers. The system is a scam, it gives you good results at the start then makes you think you get more but it gives you only shit.

>>11349628
"¨Probabilty paranoia : The post"

sure, the RNG look at you through the cam with prism and analyze your facial joy and purposely gives you what you don't want. this isn't random, and this isn't the murphy's effect either. THEY'RE ALL AGAINST YOU HID YOUR CREDIT CARD RUUUUUUUUUU-

>>11349628
>The system is a scam
Did you sleep through your elementary lessons of probability?

>>11349637
How about Truk? Is it open already?

Yokosuka server pushed further to 20:45 JST expected time. ;_;

>>11349640
All except 7th Yokosuka server are open.

Mine's pretty loading pretty slow. I'm not even at the start window yet. Is anybody else having the same problem?

Should not close my game window. Now I'm stuck at girl with construction helmet ;_;

>>11349637

Yoyosuka server now open fellow admiral

>>11349648
I kept getting kicked out after successfully starting the game. After a lot of tries it finally seems stable, or something. So basically you should probably keep trying and you'll probably get in again.

>>11349631
>>11349634
Are you retarded ? It's obvious the system was made to scam people into paying more money. Since everything is hidden from you and you have to input random numbers they can do anything they want and manipulate the results as they wish. So that retards like you will fall for it, LOL IT'S JUST RANDOM, I WILL HAVE MORE LUCK NEXT TIME. This is how they milk retards.
If they gave you a normal ship shop they wouldn't be able to scam gambling retards

>>11349441
>Seems like you can't go on expedition with damaged girls anymore.
I just did a 1h30m expedition with 2 heavy damaged ones and it worked fine. Did you resupply them properly or had one red fatigue ?

>>11349681
I had a red message when the flagship was in the red.

>>11349660
You're so fucking retarded that I can't even understand how you got to this point.

>>11349673
>>11349673
You're so fucking retarded that I can't even understand how you got to this point.

>>11349673
>normal ship shop
>ship collecting game
Congratulation, you've just killed the point of the game.

Why would they introduce complicated pattern to trick you into thinking stuff when they can simply set a low rate for good stuff and a high rate for meh stuff, like any gambling game ?

And the randomness is quite obvious when you look at the wiki's sample results.

I'm very tired of those (actual) retards thinking randomness is actually some sort of destiny they can predict the behavior of and cry when they have no luk.

Also, I'm pretty sure the few people paying for the game are hardcore enough to know what's random and don't feel scamed when they run out of luck.

>>11349654
Much appreciated fellow Admiral.

>>11349673
>doesn't understand probability
>call people retarded

Why so much hate for Naka-chan?

Does she have an annoying high drop rate or something?

>>11349707

>You got Naka-chan
Please.

>>11349711
The worst part is that after the Sendai sisters quest you start rolling in Sendais.
I've gotten around 15 running 2-2 trying to finish the Kongou sisters quest. Kongou please stop appearing, I just want Haruna, 6 of you is enough.

>>11349707
I have no idea, she has a vibe that attracts teasing and of course there is >>11349711 . Besides, Naka was good in my fleet in the start before the BB and CV come in to replace her.

>>11349707
She also likes to show up when people are trying to craft battleships.

>>11349713
>Kongou please stop appearing, I just want Haruna, 6 of you is enough.
And then, there is this bastard. I'm jealous.

>>11349699
>>11349690
>probability
>randomness
You are such retards. It's people like you they milk money from, they are too stupid to understand how they scam such retards. These browser games are just plain scams.
You don't get 3 BBs at the first try if they are supposed to be rare and then you get only shit. That's too much luck unless it was made to be like this. It's obvious that the compass isn't pure random as well.
>ship collecting game
Then you should collect them only by playing battles and expeditions. Giving you a lottery makes the scam obvious. Lotteries are just scams to milk retards.

>>11349724
>You don't get 3 BBs at the first try if they are supposed to be rare and then you get only shit.
Did this happen to you?

>It's obvious that the compass isn't pure random as well.
Well, fucking obviously. It depends on your ships. Your point?

>Giving you a lottery makes the scam obvious. Lotteries are just scams to milk retards.
Ship drops are a lottery. Retard.

>>11349724
B-B-But I get Fusou and Kaga within my first five tries...

>>11349728
Which recipe did you use for Kaga?

>>11349724
I think I understand your lack of understanding. You should really look into some book and learn what "Random" is, and how RNG works.

by the way, I had two wait 8 tries of 400/30/600/30 to get a BB.

I got a metric fukton of kirishima, others get haruna, others get kongous, others get even share. nobody likes hiei anyway.

I'm sure you're the kind of guy that would expect an even share and alternance of heads and tails when throwing a coin - and I can totally picture you crying "DAM TEH COIN HAKCED AND SCAMD ME" when you get 3 consecutive tails - which is about as rare as getting 3 consecutive BB, by the way, 45% versus 50%.

Why are they calling Naka-chan 2-4-11?
Please explain the inside-joke.

>>11349727
>Ship drops are a lottery. Retard.
You are just proving that I'm right how they make money from retards like you.
>>11349728
>B-B-But I get Fusou and Kaga within my first five tries...
And after that you got only shit I assume.
>>11349730
>Which recipe did you use for Kaga?
It doesn't matter which recipe he used, use the standard one. The recipes are all bullshit. You don't get a certain ship just by using a special recipe.

>>11349736
results of scrapping her.

You sound really butthurt about being out of resources and not having more fleet squadrons to deploy on more expeditions. Try doing the quests for those! You might end up enjoying the game finally. That or pulling that mast out of your butt and leaving the thread.

>>11349738
Ah, okay. I fuse them all the time rather than scrapping. I kind of hate the scrapping daily quest because it pains me so.

>>11349741
>You are just proving that I'm right how they make money from retards like you.
The total amount of money they've made off me is zero dollars.

>And after that you got only shit I assume.
You assume a lot of things.

>It doesn't matter which recipe he used, use the standard one. The recipes are all bullshit. You don't get a certain ship just by using a special recipe.
People suspect that high-resource recipes are weighted more heavily towards higher-class ships. You can always put in more materials anyway.

Nakariiii~n!

>>11349730
IIRC 300/300/600/600.
>>11349741
Some heavy cruisers (no Takao/Atago, though), Chitose (for my seaplane carrier mission), and Fusou. I can say I'm fine with all my results, since I only tried doing big recipes a few times (around 8-10).

>>11349741
lol man ur rite its all BS.
I always do ALL 30 LOL cauz I no retard like you pal ! I know i can get all ship like dis

>400/30/600/30

I hope you didn't want to prove something with this. Even an idiot can look at the wiki. Try 400/400/800/100, then complain. It's like you are complaining not getting BBs from 30/30/30/30.

>>11349767
>I hope you didn't want to prove something with this.
He wasn't complaining, you stupid fuck.

>>11349761
Server 1 (Yokosuka) has some database problem and on extended maintenance.
Other servers are a bit overloaded and might need few reload to get in.

>>11349767
I got my Hyuga with it and Hiei with 400/100/600/30 . It's either I'm lucky or my commander's level is appropriate. Perhaps as your levels get higher, you need to pump in more resources to get BB, etc.

>>11349738

>>11349741

>>11349741

I-I-I'm sorry anon-san! Japan j-just can't cater to your desires on demand! ;_;

The real question is, which is the best seaplane carrier and why is it Chiyoda?

>>11349786
Checked on the wiki to see whether there are any discrepancy and saw this for Takao
>On 5 September 1945, the Straits of Johor naval base was surrendered by the Japanese to the British and the formal boarding of the still partially manned Takao took place on 21 September 1945. She was finally towed to the Straits of Malacca to be used as a target ship for HMS Newfoundland and sunk on October 19, 1946
Man, talk about public execution.

>>11349795
Nagato had it worse though.

>>11349795
Malaysia seems like a place to execute IJN ships (like Haguro).

And then I remembered the surrender was signes on the Nelson, which is probably the ugliest battleship in existence.

>2-4
>compass FINALLY leads me to boss
>this happens

Holy shit I hate this game so much right now.

She's a survivor alright.

>>11349805
You wouldn't be able to beat him anyway.

He IS strong.

So what exactly are the robot ship monsters they're fighting? Americans? Neuroids?

What are the criteria a ship can't sunk at day, besides 50% and being mothership ?

>>11349824
Judging from the imperial metric they're using, yeah.

>>11349824
American neuroi zombie witches.

>>11349824
It can be implied that they're American because >>11349829

>>11349824
American Neuroids. One of them is probably a mexican.

>>11349791
The real question is, why would use a seaplane carrier when you can use an aviator battleship?

>>11349833
They have higher view range therefore are more likely to succeed in recons than aviation BBs.

>>11349833
>aviation battleship

Too high upkeep for me, and besides I love the torpedo attack they do right before the battle.

>>11349781
>400/30/600/30 gives more BBs than 400/400/800/100
How do they justify this bullshit, I wonder. Maybe fail game design.
The ship table in wiki shouldn't at least make it look like 400/400/800/100 is standard for BBs.

>>11349852
RNG I guess. Some are damn too lucky when it comes to crafting.
And I just noticed I kept getting Heavy and Light Cruisers from 30/30/30/30 just to finish that daily craft quest.

>>11349824
Evil Black Rock Shooter American ships.

Good night sweet princess.

>>11349852
Seems that the table data in wiki page is a bit outdated, only until this June. Hope their mods update it soon.

>>11349852
You guys should understand that these are not "expected success rate".

>>11349852
Didn't check the data but increased ammo and bauxite probably adds in more ships in to the RNG range like Seaplane Carriers and Light Carriers, resulting in a lesser probabilty for Battleships in the bigger picture - even if their occurance chances increase.

Been getting this page for the last 2 hours while trying to get into KanColle. Does this at least mean I have a slot now?

>>11349894
No, it's "Server Busy" error. Try clearing cache and reload the page.

So are flagships sinkable now?

New girl from latest update, gettable from 3-4.
Hatsukaze (Kagerou-class no.7)

>>11349899
I don't think so. Once your flagship is in the red, you simply cannot proceed.

>>11349901

>>11349897

>>11349907
Disable VPN while logging in - heck, just get the API link for the game and stop using a VPN altogether.

Are one of these the Akagi quest?

>>11349913
there is no API link when you get the server is busy error

>>11349918
None of those in the picture is the Akagi quest

>>11349923
Really? What are they even then...

I swore I did one of the formation quests (the carrier one) to unlock it. Are there any other conditions?

>>11349926
Clear all the carrier-related green and red missions first. I think the green seaplane carrier mission is the first prerequisite.

>>11349926
You haven't advanced very far in the red tree. Unless still haven't gotten the Sendai sisters yet [Jintsu was my twenty-third light cruiser] there's no reason for you not to have sent fleet two on a sortie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdTg7vNHhdI

Just did two 400/400/800/100 builds to only get two Light cruisers.

>>11349929
Strange. I only have these for formation quests left.

>>11349930
You have to send fleet two on a sortie for one of them?

>>11349926
Clear the 1st two formation quests involving carriers. Then clear the sortie quest wherein you have to sink an enemy flag carrier. That's where Akagi will be rewarded

>>11349930
And I have already done the Sendai quest. (I have all three fleets)

>>11349933
The last quest there is literally titled, "Second Fleet, Sortie!"

You should try going over one of the quest pages on the wiki(s) with a translation add-on.

>>11349919
how do you go about getting the api link?

>>11349940
Right. I'll make sure to do that.

>>11349936
Right, Sendai unlocks fleet three. Duh. I forgot what gets you fleet two, that was forever ago.

How shitty is this game if you don't spend money on it?

>>11349956
You won't be able to play as often as people who do pay money.

>>11349950
Yeah, this. I remember one poor anon that spread crossboard Kancolle thread and put his API link. Though I think re-login may render the old API link unusable, since it makes a new one.

To search that link, use Adblock, or Chrome's inspect element.

>>11349947
I feel bad that I'm in the I've-fed-my-BBs-far-too-many-Kongous club.
I also have 3 Shimakazes, yet I'm convinced I'll never get that fourth fleet because I can't get the last Kongou sister.

>>11349932
Just did 400/30/600/30 and getting a BB after getting nothing from 400/400/800/100.

Is this a fleet ready to take on 2-4? Or should I level up more?

>>11349958
No ;_;

>>11349947
>>11349959
And here I am stuck with a level 20 Kirishima.
Got Fuso and Ise from craft and another Ise from drop and light and heavy cruisers from the rest of my failed BB craft attempts

>>11349956
The only thing that makes money relevant in this game is the ability to unlock new docks.

Aside from that, there's pretty much no other real reason to spend in this game.

/jp/, I'm going back to work in a few weeks, I always had a shitty cellphone but I want to play KanColle on my phone, Can someone repost the steps to make it work?

Also, what phone would you recommend?

>>11349963
With this fleet, don't even try if your not full-team sparkling.

>>11349963
Average level of 25 at least. And I'd drop those heavy cruisers and get more battleships/carriers

>>11349968
Get the API link and a browser that can use it (somebody used Puffin), or just put the API link in a HTML wrapper and just use it with any browser. Or just VPN.

>>11349966
There's also room cosmetics, ability to buy resources and goddess anti-sinking item.

It's shit even if you would spent money on it. Remember the worst game you played, Kancolle is worse.

>>11349963
I wonder, if you remodel one ship, will she keep her level or goes back to 1? Also how about the stats?

Currently I'm preparing her for the remodel. Still 4 levels more.

>>11349985

>>11349982
You can get that in a week if you play the right expeditions.

>>11349986
remodeling resets into the ships base stats after remodel, but keeps their current level, meaning stats you fed prior to remodeling them are lost.

>>11349990
Doesn't it need an item in addition to the cost?

>>11349986
>leveling up 1 ship at a time
I put 3 ships to level up with 2 HC and 1 BB and play 1-3.

>>11349996
Nope. Just the resources

>>11349990
I see. Thanks.

>>11349996
I've never seen one where they used an item along with the resources.

>>11350000
Is 1-1 map the most efficient map for grinding?

>>11349988
Still have to pay for the carpenter fairy.

>>11349982
You forget about Inazuma's scroll.

>>11350000
Having too many big ships kinda hurt when grinding though.

>>11349982
Too bad that space is reserved for Tatsuda's futon in my place.

>>11350000
I usually just grind the first node on 2-4 with 2 CVs, 1 BB, 2 HCs plus the ship that I have to grind with.
Depending on the ship type I can put 3 ships to grind there; but if they are DDs or Light Cruisers then just one will do since they don't have much firepower to take down the enemy there.

>>11350000
I'm trying to craft a radar so I can grind 1-3 without losing all my ammo. Until then it's just non-stop 1-2 or 1-4 when I have enough antiaircraft.

>>11350007
In a sense, I guess. It's way easier to get her 'kirakira' than making her compete with other ship and causing fatigue. Besides, refueling is more cost efficient than teaming weaker team with better ones

I'm having trouble finishing this quest. I've already put one battleship and two heavy cruisers in my main fleet with the battleship as the flagship. What more do I have to do?

>>11350033
Ah wait, actually I completely forgot I just remodeled Hyouga so she's not a straight battleship anymore. Guess I'll have to try to get another one some time.

>>11349969
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21570870

>>11350033
It should work, you don't have any other ships in the fleet do you?

>>11350041
*Hyuuga

>>11350044
I've completed other formation quests without removing excess ships, but I'll try again.

>>11350033
Have you tried 2 heavy cruisers and 4 destroyers with a heavy cruiser as a flagship?

It's going to take me sixteen hours to repair my fleet.

What a pain.

>>11350051
Oh wait, silly me. I missed the battleship part. Apologies.

>>11350054
2 words: Bucket bukkake

I still haven't found Jinzu and and am out of crafting tools
I sill never get my 3rd fleet

>>11350047
Yeah, it's probably just battleship-carriers don't work for that quest. Oh well, just got to find/craft a new one.

>>11350059
I already threw a huge bucket party when I was trying to run the event, so if I did it now I'd be out.

It's mostly made out of destroyers and heavy cruisers with hour repair times anyway. I buket repairs over three hours from time to time, but the support fleet is something else.

>>11350058
I reached admiral level 21 before getting Jinzu.

>>11350065
Well shit. Used 400/30/600/30. First try and I got Kongo.

>>11350082
There is no justice in this world. ;_;

>>11350082
goddammit don't make me regret spending my last 1000 steel

>>11350087
>>11350082
HAHAHAHA FUCKING FINALLY

>>11350093
Are you that level 21 anon? Congrats.

>>11350093
Congratulations!

>>11350082
>>11350094
two 400/30/600/30s later ;_;

>>11350082
Did they massively buff her drop rate or something? Just tried that recipe myself and got her.

>>11350082
>>11350093
>>11350106
KONGOU TIME!

>>11350106
Everyone but me is getting kongo, maybe I need to get a trip with nokongo in it. ;_;

>>11350093
>>11350106
>>11350082

Why is this world so unfair?

>>11350059
The bucketeers

>>11350111
You're not the only one friend, we're in good company. To those who got Kongous how long has it been since you craft a ship?

>>11350116
I crafted one yesterday but that was it.

I've gotten a Kongo every time I've tried to craft a battleship. Can I join?

>>11350116
I've only been crafting 30/30/30/30s for dailies, though I did try a 600/30/700/30 earlier on someone else's recommendation.

>>11350116
I only craft 4 30/30/30/30 for the dailies, I've been meaning to stockpile enough to build 10 BBs in one go.

>>11350121
>>11350117
>>11350124
I've been getting heavy cruisers and destroyer for battleship recipes so I was wondering whether is there a cool down timer for it. Maybe I will try again later.

Now all I need are Haruna and Kirishima.

I done some practice and it seems the exp is more.. generous ? not sure since I seldom pay attention to it.
this and the 3-2 farm spot nerf makes me think the devs really want to put practice at the center of exp farming..

400/30/600/30 four times and all I got are heavy cruisers.

>>11350151
I think it depends on who you're going against with. It can be quite generous if you're facing fleets that are higher or equaled to you. Also, the higher the level, the more experience it rewards.

Why not just progress to area 2 or 3 and camp for those Kongou class?
It's much easier and productive than wasting that a lot of resources on crafting HCs.
I know getting "Last one Kongou type" to complete that quest is pain but still.

>>11350161
I tried doing 2-2. After the nth Myoko around 20 attempts I got pissed off.

>>11350161
have been grinding at least 5 times a day on 2-2

>>11350161
Well, it depends. Considering that you're probably decking out with some battleships and aircraft carriers, resources to top them up can be quite costly. Albeit, steel is harder to replenish than fuel and ammo.

I give up, I tried everything but I can't get past this. The direct API link sends me to the error page.
I'll never see my kanmusume again.
They must have deleted my account or something.

>>11350185
Isn't one of the server still under maintenance?

So my Chitose just reached level 10 and looking at the wiki, the remodeling doesn't seem to be worth it until level 15 and above when she is a light carrier. Thoughts?

>>11350201
There's supposed to be a quest that requires a high level (50 or so, I think it was) seaplane carrier, so I was told to hold off upgrading her until then.

>>11350185
"Thank you for playing Kantai Collection.

We would like to thank for your cooperation while we were performing a maintenance.
Currently the server is too busy, and it is difficult to connect to the server.
Connection will be available sequentially, please wait for a while before trying to access.

We're sorry for the inconvenience."

>>11350201
Seaplane Carriers are harder to get by than LACs though, plus there's also a quest where you need one of them.

>>11350201
Remodel for weapons, especially 12 gives first strike torps

>>11350206
>>11350214
>>11350219
Ah, alright then. I will hold it off, should be able to get my carrier soon anyway.

Also Yokosuka (server 1) maintenance extended until tomorrow.

>>11350206
>>11350214
I have no idea where this comes from. There's no such quest.

If we're talking about high level expeditions these accept any type of carrier including seaplane tenders.

>>11349963
You must go and learn about the terror of 2-4 by yourself.

>>11350230
For a reference:

Server 1: Launch - Yokosuka Chinjufu (Yokochin)

Server 8: 2013/08/21 - Rabaul Kichi

>>11350266
This game launches at April right? Why the huge gap in between?

>>11350267
They keep expanding the first server capability then later realized it was a bad idea.
When they open Ohminato, some of server 1-3 users are transferred to the new server.

Yokosuka is currently suffering a database failure.

>>11350245
Oh, reading through the previous thread it seems I confused some info. Someone suggested that the lv. 15 remodel wasn't worth it and the lv 50 was, while someone else said that there was a formation quest that requires a seaplane, and yet another person said that there's a high-level expedition that requires a seaplane tender. Something like that.

so I was planning on joining the game last week only to find out that all servers are full and will always be full until new servers come out
How screwed am I?

>>11350310
As screwed as you put it in your post. There will be probably new servers though.

>>11350315
The question is when

>>11350278
I'm actually in the Ominato server, however, I still can't get into the game because of the maintenance. Well, no skin off my back, this frees up my morning for other business.

>>11350320
Check out their Twitter account, from time to time they announce new openings. You won't get it no matter what, though.

>>11350320
>>11350310
Refer to the last thread, I think they are opening a new one on Tuesday. I'm not sure if I'm correct.

>>11350335
today is already Tuesday (Jap time)

>>11350335
>本日ご用意した新規【5,000名】規模のサーバ着任枠は全て終了致しました。ありがとうございました。そして、漏れた皆さん、申し訳ありません…。明日は、全サーバ共通メンテで新規開放はお休みし、明後日8/27(火)に【10,000名】規模で新規【抽選】着任を実施する予定です。

They'll open 10k slots, maybe around 5PM JST like previous openings.

>>11350341
The usual server opening is 1700 which is ~16 hours from now.

>>11350320
Have you tried clearing your cache and cookies from dmm?

>>11350349
meant for >>11350325
gonna go back to bed

>>11350354
Yea, that was the first thing I did. Well, like I said, no skin off my back.

>>11349824

So how does the ship modeling work?
After hitting a certain level I can mod it and after hitting the next I can mod her again or just once per ship?
They only gain better stats and equip slots?

>>11350373
I've got >>11350185 error for few hours but able to get in around 21:00 JST.
I'm in Lingga by the way.

Welp, now I need to actually work on destroyers for 3-2...

I just S-ranked the gold flag practice match, so I'm happy. Maybe there is a future for my light cruisers.

Okay, I brought two fighter squads and four antiaircraft weapons to his 2 CV 2 CVL loaded with nothing but bombers, and I went in full sparkle because one of my practice partners was kind enough to bring only a single ship, and his second ship was an underleveled Shimakaze instead of the battleship that's usually there, but I'll take what I can get.

>>11350381
The 4-koma says they're the warped wraiths of fallen ships.

Dunno if it's canon though.

>>11350459
That's the official explanation.

It's also why they can be moe.

Just got my first light carrier, finally.

>>11350459
>>11350473
I can dig the ghost ships and all but it doesn't really explain the imperial system used though. Maybe it's to make them more alien-looking.

>>11350459
M-my nakachan;_;

>>11350476
Now give her your love

>>11350476
She's probably the most MILF-looking character in the entire cast.

>>11350474
When Japanese people lose their traditional values, they become Americans.

>>11350476
grats ! but well, she's not exactly the very best CVL ..

>>11350476
She's the most economical CVL in the game.
Too bad she can only carry 15 planes.

>>11350499
Akagi isn't a great CVL either is she? I just got this one from doing 2-1 so I didn't waste any resources building her.

>>11350401
>After hitting a certain level I can mod it and after hitting the next I can mod her again or just once per ship?
Depends on the ship, most only allow it once but some can do it more times. It doesn't mean that the ones who can do it more times are better though.

>They only gain better stats and equip slots?
Depends on the ship, most get more stats/higher stat cap (and a extra equipment slot) while some can change their entire ship type (Like seaplane carrier -> light aircraft carrier)

>>11350503
Akagi isn't much of a CVL, she's a CV.
and she's pretty much the best one at first, only because it's bitchy to get the others without some luck.

My personal top CV are kaga and zuikaku, especially for the former plane capacity and the latter luck.

Good CVL ca be zuihou, or junyou. junyou is pretty easy to drop and have 4 slot from the begining so it's a pretty useful one.
While I'm there - is there a proper explanation of the use and implication of high luck ? I know I like having a lot but I'm not exactly sure how it helps. do more crit, get less, evade more ?

>>11350517
So she is, always assumed she was a light one since she seemed to be the one most people got first.

>>11350513
>It doesn't mean that the ones who can do it more times are better though.

second that.
Chitose class evolves a ton but in the end it's only an acceptable CVL, while the ooi class evolves twice and becomes a torpedo monster.

>>11350526
that's how the gama helps you, a tiny bit. that's also a reason for her popularity, everyone gets her -and her stomach- pretty early on. T-level 40 and still no other CV here.

>>11350517
I read somewhere that it makes enemies more likely to miss or target other ships when the ship is critically damaged. Not sure if this is true, or if it does anything else.

If what I've heard is correct, it's like reality warps to keep the ship afloat at all cost.

>As a result of participating and surviving some of the most dangerous battles the IJN had fought, Yukikaze is very popular in Japan, being called "the unsinkable ship" and "the miracle ship" much like Shigure prior to that ship's sinking by USS Blackfin (SS-322). But some others within the IJN regarded the ship as a bad omen because ships the destroyer was tasked to escort tended to be sunk with heavy casualties.
Drops with fifty luck and rises to sixty when remodeled. Nuts.

>>11350381
This is what happens to your ships when they die ;_;

>>11350489
Doesn't help that carriers usually have the word 母 in their ship types, which means "mother".

I want a Kaga already.

>>11350542
Somewhere out there, enemy admirals are picking up your lost ships, so they can load 8 inch guns and B29s onto them to sink their old sisters with.

Tonight is the night

I can feel it, I'm getting in

No more waking up at 4am just to attempt to get a slot

I'm deluding myself aren't I

>>11350532
>the ooi class evolves twice and becomes a torpedo monster.
They do? If that's the case then maybe I should give Kitakami some more attention.

>>11350568
Godspeed, anon.

By the way, is there anyway for light carriers to hold recon seaplanes? Or must I craft another set of planes for it?

>>11350571
pretty much.
that's the base value, but you can pump it up with equipment (up to +36 torpedo power) and fusion. I think 145+ isn't unlikely.

>>11350571
Prepare to listen to her brag about her gigantic charcoal pencils all day, every day.

I think Ushio-chan is pretty cute.

>>11350577
by the way, she was used as a kaiten launcher - those mini submarine-torpedo àla Kamikaze.

>>11350532
>>11350571
>>11350577
Memories of Kitakami torp spamming in the first 30 seconds of a Navy Field match, anyone?

>>11350536
Shigure had the same streak, especially with the Nishimura fleet (hence the quest). They should buff her luck though, doesn't need to be Yukikaze high.

>>11350576
No they can't hold seaplanes, but according to the wiki there exists a recon fighter that fits on CV and CVL. Don't know how to get that tho.

>>11350591
>>11350576
I assume you're talking about 彩雲 (yellow icon recon plane).
Got some while doing 20/60/10/110 (or 50/60/10/110) crafting with Akagi as flagship

My torpedo sisters are getting better and better after hitting lv50.

>>11350591
Spam 20/60/10/110, or 50/60/30/120 with your best leveled CV as a flagship.
Rumors say higher admiral lv also helps.

>>11350553
I gave up on getting her a long ago, she must hate me.

>>11350600
these navels. my dick.

I'm farming kitamami's exp for those 334 crit torpedoes, but I can't even get an ooi to drop.

>>11350600
Do radars help improve torpedo accuracy? Because they're not very useful if they only attack twice a round and miss both.

>>11350459
>>11350473
Stop it. They're Americans. Never forget that.

1944 October 25, fleet consisting of battleships Fuso and Yamashiro, cruiser Mogami, and destroyers Shigure, Michishio, Asagumo, and Yamagumo attempted to break through American forces at Surigao Strait. American forces consisted of six battleships, eight cruisers, twenty eight destroyers. Shigure was the only survivor.;_;

Dammit Haruna stop appearing. I want Kongou.

Headpats for Hatsuyuki.

Thinking of making my 6 destroyer fleet Shimakaze, Suzukaze, Fubuki, Hatsuyuki, Hatsuharu, and Nenohi.

Or should I work on Shiranui, Kagerou, and Murakumo? Like them all.

>>11350652
If you have Yukikaze, take the Kagerou option. Didn't they add a new class mate too?

>>11350600
How exactly do you get Ooi and Kitakami anyway?

>>11350659
I dropped Ooi while farming 2-3 boss. Can't remember where I got my Kitakami...
Wiki indicates she also drops on normal encounters in 2-4.

>>11350659
You can get them in most stages and in whatever recipes give light cruisers. Ooi seems rarer though.

I got Ooi and Kitakami from 250/30/200/30 two docks. Got both in one go.
I must used up all my luck or something because now I'm stuck at 2-4.

Well this is new, made her my flagship to boost her exp rate and she took massive damage in the first battle. I presume this message is part of the new system where you can't launch if your flagship suffers large damage.

Just looked at the maintenance update. Welp, no more suicide runs for me. Anyone here with win ratio lower than 75%?
Please stop shipgirl abuse

>>11350704
2-4 isn't just you. It's a ship-grinder, don't try it until you've got a squad that's upgraded at least once.

>>11350704
>>11350742
Though of course, the very first node in it is very repeatable for nice exp and bonus ships as a plus.

>>11350747
Which of the three ratios were the battle win ratio?

>>11350756
Battle win ......... | Training win
Battle loss ........ | Training loss
Battle percent .. | Training percent
Expedition win
Expedition loss
Expedition percent

>>11350756
Upper left is battle win ratio, upper right is practice, lower left is expedition. Damn my practice ratio is 60%. I could win if I put my carriers in but 200 bauxite per battle? No thanks.

>>11349452
>>11349471
I don't really see the problem here. They're only Flagship DDs and sometimes CLs. Not exactly a threat. And here I was thinking they suddenly stuffed a Flagship BB or CV there.

>>11350760
I see, well, to have 75% you are either kinda new or have terrible luck, suffering.

>>11350747
89%, although I'm not entirely sure what the basis for "losing" is.

>>11350718
Is that line voiced or is it just text for now?

>>11350772
The 敗北 or 戦術的敗北 indication after each battle.
Usually C~E rank.

>>11350775
I have no idea, I'm working on my thesis whilst repairing and sending the girls out so I've got it muted.

>>11350772
勝利判定は、物理的にダメージ総量の他に
　敵艦隊によっては(特に敵主力艦隊においては)敵旗艦の撃沈範囲が非常に大きな意味を持っています。
　味方の損害が微小で、敵旗艦を含む敵艦隊の主力を撃滅すれば、かならず勝利判定が得られます。

tldr, total damage applied to enemy, little damage to your team, and the health of the enemy's flagship

>>11350780
good to know i'm not the only one writing my paper while playing this game at the same time.

>>11350747
How many battles do you have? I have 97% but it's probably because i have almost 1k battles.

>>11350783
It's one of those games that is best played intermittently rather than in a marathon.

>>11350789
Just started last week, so only 337 battles. I grinded at 1-1 for I don't know how many times just to get 5% back. It was horrifying.

I need to buy shit to unlock a third dock to repair right?

>>11350553
>>11350603
Got her just when I started looking for her, on 2-3 boss fight, on my first try

ho man, I love those formation quest.

you grind your exp like anyone and pop, a ship you were waiting for.
the quest unlock two new one, and the're already done, and so on.
it's like going down a christmas tree.

too bad it's one time only.

>>11350828
I know that feel man. But the fun only last until you are stuck from getting that 1 ship to clear the next one. Goddamnit Haguro where are you...

And I just found a cute papercraft of Shimakaze's pet turret.
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=37848305

Now I see how they are trying to make profit. Well played DMM, well played.

>>11350807
yes you do. One time payment of 1000 yen for one dock I think.

ho man
how did you even get to that point

>>11350760
Are you sure it's expedition success / failure? Because there's no way I've failed 496 times. It's more like expeditions launched / success, I think.

Oops. You're right.

Finally passed 2-4

What's the clear condition for 「第六駆逐隊」を編成せよ！? Thought it was simply put the four of them in the fleet but that didn't work, tried adding a seaplane carrier on top but still didn't work.

>>11350864
My fleet always looks like that because of the way I play. I grab my best fleet and sortie it somewhere challenging, and when one of the girls gets bloodied by attrition or criticals, I replace her with the next highest level girl I have on hand and keep going. I can replace my fleet five times over, if I raid my expedition fleets to do it. Of course, I have to ramp down the difficulty as the fleet level drops and stop when I don't have any healthy ships left.

By the end the shipyards are a disaster, and I just have my lowest-level destroyers watch my aircraft carriers OHKO 1-2 until I'm out of resources.

>>11350864
Not him, but my fleet always looks like that because of the way I play.

>>11350919
Put 電 Inazuma, 雷 Ikazuchi, 響 Hibiki, 暁 Akatsuki in one fleet, with only them. Leave other 2 slots empty.

>>11350919
That's strange. Put the four of them only in the fleet.

>>11350919
I think you need to beat a boss with only them.
I did it with 1-1.

What is their relationship?

ok so, subchan is actually pretty useful to get 3-2 back as a good farming spot, since with a good and small formation you can leave out only the flagship and let him focus on her.

one thing tho - the flagship is still unsinkable for the one battle it goes in critical state, right ?

>>11350930
>>11350933
That was the key, had to leave the other two slots empty, thanks.

>>11350954
That's 「第六駆逐隊」出撃せよ.
「第六駆逐隊」を編成せよ is formation quest.

Have they made any changes to how they run this game?

I was just preparing to have it all ready for spamming tomorrow and get onto server, when it just loaded and let me register and play tonight. I didn't even get to pick a server somehow, just straight into the game.

My Japanese finally gets some practice, and it is terrible how I don't even remember how to look up kanji fast. I think I'm supposed to wait out my boat building so I can add a new boat to my navy formation.

Can someone tell me what this is?

Curiously, what does the 速力 stat do? All the CVs and everything up to the Kongou-class are 高速 and everyone heavier is 低速. Do I hamper my squad if I add Ise, for example, to Akagi/Kaga/Kongou/Hiei/Haruna?

Semi-automated mission/repair/supply bot, I believe.
It will launch a web server and you have to click on it to perform action.

>>11351018
I read somewhere on the wiki that if all the ships in the fleet are 高速 you get an evade bonus.

>>11351031
I realize that the game itself is already kind of pointless but having a bot grind all your ships to level fifty makes it even dumber than it is.

>>11351044
You new to browser games or something?

>>11351049
This actually is the first one I've spent more than a week on. Well, I was aware that people have always done this though.

>>11351042
The question is, is the bonus worth it? Also I can see CVs being good with 高速 but now I question whether or not I want heavier battleships. Kongou family so superior~

>>11351057
It's atleast not a PvP-centric game so you can enjoy it at your own leisure.

I have never had any of these girls stay in three consecutive battles without being kicked back into the docks by something or other. Kako too.

I've been trying to level them by methods other than 1-1 spam but it's just so hard.

>>11351105
For me I use the lowest level ship as the flagship in practice battles while the rest get sent to expeditions (especially the third one). Lv15+ destroyers seem to do okay when soloing 1-1.

>>11351105
I don't know about Mutsuki-class, but Akatsuki-class do get somewhat better when you remodel them at Lv.20.
>one day I'm going to have remodelled lv.50 Akatsuki-class as my main fleet

>>11351180
Race you there. I'm only twenty-three levels short.

>>11351105
Kaguro and Junyou started the battle like that. Guess which two started the battle at full health?

I could probably blame Shiranui in some oblique way (who's six levels under the other destroyers) because she didn't get the extra anti-aircraft round and Nagatsuki was bombed out, but at this point I'm pretty sure they dive into the line of fire so they can go back to sleep. They all have that "I don't want to be here" voice anyway.

All that grinding of Expedition 5 has come to bite me in the butt, I'm running out of steel and need to grind the other Expedition.

>>11351507
I've got around 1k fuel, 1k ammo, 5k steel and zero bauxite.

>>11351518
1.5k fuel, 2k ammo, 0.5k steel and 3.6k bauxite. Kept my fuel and ammo up with the expeditions constantly going on whilst I'm grinding the story missions.

Do practice matches really give that much better exp?

>>11351555
They take no damage and gain sparkle, so there's no reason not to do it. The experience you gain is sometimes low and sometimes massive, depending on what kind of fleets you run into.

Well shit, Kiso just got critted and was one shotted....goddamn.

>>11351773
Did she have any fatigue on her?

For the material limit listed on the profile page, is the number for each material type or is it the total number of materials you can have total?

>>11351798
No, the way I work is to sortie one fleet until someone's damaged enough to warrant repair, get them into repair whilst going out with another fleet.

I originally used the tactic of swapping out tired/damaged party members but it was a pain and I also ended up with like 10 mediocre level characters.

>>11351837
From full to dead?

>>11351845
I believe so, she might have one or two health off but not enough to get the "minor damage" mark.

>>11351873
Well, that sucks.

>>11351876
Yeah, at least she's a common drop but I don't think I can be bothered to grind another light cruiser or destroyer to replace her so I might just go for a light carrier.

>>11351887
What was her level and armor at the time? If someone one-shots my level thirty Naka I'll probably kill someone.

>>11351905
Somewhere around level 11 so it's not like I lost a lot of effort but I'll be damned I kept her around for her eyepatch. Don't remember what her armor was because I never increased it as in my experience cruisers with higher armor seem to take as much damage destroyers with lower armor ratings...

I was scanning my practice partners when I saw something unexpected.

How adorable.

>>11350116
Got one Kongou and 3 Kirishimas in 2-2 and just got Haruna crafting 400/30/600/30 recipe today

>>11351941
>that pile of iron
Damn, I'm jealous.

there is no ohko in this game unless you did something wrong.
I can't post details now since Im at work.
Search "?????" on google and check its rule.
Basically any death in this game are all avoidable. all you need is hornable withdraw.
