The horror shall return next week.

You'll never fight Henderson airfield-chan again

>>11860765
She'll return on the last stage of next event like all previous bosses

>>11860754
What do you mean

>>11860765
Be careful what you wish for.

>>11860766
API-token purging

>>11860765
I hope so
I need the challenge, game is too easy nowadays.
The xmas event is a joke.

>>11860769
I know it's returning soon, but are we sure it's next week?
Because that shit means I can't play from work.
Fuck

>>11860771
>cheat at the game
>wonder why it's not hard

>>11860767
Boss for Midway event can only be attacked with dive bomber and torpedo bomber. Shelling and torpedo from ships will give scratch damage.

>>11860773
Nah, it will be 'DMM ruining Valentine' update.

>>11860775
that would be retarded

This thread reads more like a /vg/ thread than most /vg/ threads.

>>11860774
Who are you quoting?
>implying I script or cheat
Git gud faggot or be a truNEET.

New chart if anyone still cares,
nothing new, no miracles, 50%, the usual.

>>11860783
Why would we not care?

Anyone knows a way to revert KCV UI back to japanese? Do i just download the japanese version, or the one that's provided by Z has extra stuff?

>>11860783
Gonna try that 50% recipe as soon as I get around to regen cap just to see if it's true or not.

>>11860765
We will.

田中P：秋のイベントで飛行場姫という陸上基地メタファーの敵を出しました。あれは実は「陸上施設」っていう新しいカテゴリなんです
魚雷がまったく通らないとか、今僚艦が艦隊旗艦を庇うようなシステムがあるのですがそれが作動しないとか。
ヘンダーソン基地のメタファーなんだけど、ミッドウェー基地とかにも応用できるかな、と。

──ミッドウェーいきますか！
田中P：どうでしょう！でも、いつかはミッドウェーをモチーフにしたイベント海域を組み立てます

>>11860784
some of us are done with LSC until it gets new additions

>>11860780
This thread belonged in /vg/ in the first place.

It's just that everybody got used to using /jp/ so we're stuck with it.

>>11860788
That's fucking retard logic and you know it.

>>11860779
We have seen Henderson-chan and Type 3 bullshit, that mechanism isn't far-fetched.

>>11860783
Thanks again.

>>11860784
It is basically the same as the charts from 1.5 weeks ago
but if you find it interesting then it's okay, I will post one at the beginning of the threads at least to avoid questions.

>>11860786
It's as true as the 50% Yuubari recipe.

>>11860792
It's a fact and no amount of your complaining is going to change it. Nobody wants to use your shitty /vg/ thread. Fuck off.

>>11860788
Well, why not move any touhou game thread in vg then? This is a board fo japanese only content, vg is a videogames general to keep v cancer away from it.

>>11860799
Because /jp/ is literally the Touhou board. Touhou anime and Touhou manga get posted here too.

>This is a board fo japanese only content, vg is a videogames general to keep v cancer away from it.
/vg/ is full of Japanese-only content.

>>11860790
it makes sense that you can't hit something on land with torpedoes

>>11860796
Well, I, for one, keep my eyes on the 6010 recipe because I find that weird.

Anyway, thank you for the effort.

>>11860783
Thanks. One day 6/5/7/2 will be not a bitch to me.

Maybe...

>>11860792
/jp/ is for doujinsoft titles, not for giant corporation releases.

>>11860798
I just want these threads to stop being everybody's retarded microblog update platform.

Get a fucking twitter or go somewhere where it's wanted.

>>11860800
And it also makes sense that BB won't do shit in long-distance battle between carriers.

>>11860790
It's actually historical though.

>>11860789
Probably we will fight Midway-chan.

>>11860807
in that case they should just make a compass rule that you need a full CV team, as soon as the shelling phase starts the ships are in shooting range of each other.

>>11860808
I know. And in Midway, only 2 BBs participated, so I expect BBs won't give significant contribution. I'm also slowly preparing my Tone-class for Midway.

Did KanColle kill Touhou at the end?

>>11860759
In the last three days, out of around ten thousand posts in /jp/ total, three and a half thousand of them were about Kancolle.

It is pretty fucking surreal.

So what's the situation on forced API refresh?

>>11860820
75% of it was because of the security token.

>>11860817
They might also require Chikuma and Mogami too since those two along with a handful of ships were to bombard Midway, if only they weren't foiled unknowingly by a sub observing them who doesn't even know whether they were friendly or not.

>>11860826
The only thing dumber than thousands of status updates about playing Kancolle is thousands of status updates about not playing Kancolle.

>>11860827
I'm prepared if they become compass requirement.

How much bauxite does a usual 3-3 boss attempt cost you? I think I'm doing something wrong, because even if I don't get to the boss, it's around 140 bauxite / try. With 137 air superiority value

>>11860820
Imagine how it will be when the anime comes out.

Kancolle really will be the Touhou killer.

>>11860827
But Mogami has a dick.

>>11860827
>>11860833
I meant Mikuma sory.

>>11860837
>137
hahahahaha
Get above 241, you will only lose half of that amount.

>>11860834
At least then it will die when the anime season ends.

>>11860827
>Chikuma
How about Tone?

The "wiki" recommends 2 CV for 3-4 but with my planes I would rather bring 6 BB and be done with it instead of filling both carriers with shitty greens.

Are the CVs required to get to the boss?

>>11860827
I hope it'll only be a simple CA requirement, asking for Tone class is too cruel.

>>11860858
Just bring 1BB+5CV
The TA flagship can 1shot all your ships even Nagato class.

>>11860859
that's why they put them into LSC, so that everyone would have them

If a ship is heavily damaged during battle, if I go into night battle can it be sunk?

I got wrecked by carriers but my battleship is standing strong and it's a battleship vs two carriers. I'm like 90% sure my battleship can wreck them, but I worry some of my heavily damaged ships might sink.

>>11860868
No

>>11860854
I meant Mikuma for that sorry. Mikuma and Mogami were the ones who should've bombarded Midway.
As for Tone and Chikuma, well their scout planes were tasked of locating the USN fleet. Though bad weather and Chikuma's scout, if I remember correctly, suffered mechanical problems that delayed her launching.

>>11860868
1 BB can't wreck 2 CV

>>11860871
Thanks, just wanted to make sure.

>>11860874
Well, it was one battleship and a moderately damaged light cruiser that I didn't think could do all too much, but it crit and took out the damaged one of the two. The other instantly got gibbed by my battleship.

>>11860847
Welp, time to get more holo greens then

From the previous thread:

>>11860721
We should get a spreadsheet/pastebin going on with our server and name.
Once they banned api token again, most of us would be playing with VPN so the ranking/pvp comment would be visible. Would be cool to say hi to each other in PVP

>>11860900
From he previous thread:

No.

>>11860900
Hell no.

>>11860904
If the OP starts number each thread, I can whip up the survey for each thread or something.

Is there any particular country you guys want me to do some data crap on?

Heh

2hu is kill!

>>11860910
Login overload again?

>>11860913
Apparently, yes

>>11860900
No and go away.

>>11860910
大規模開放, good idea after killing the login servers for 2 days with the security token.

>大変申し訳ありません
Does this even mean anything when they say it 10 times every day?

>>11860910
I guess some foreigners that don't know API link is back keep doing constant login.

All these log in errors really make me think that there are a lot of API users (non-casual/overseas) in this game. Or there really are some pissed off chinks DDOS'ing.

>>11860920
If a company is having trouble serving their clients, I'd expect as much from all their announcements.

Let's say one day, they make a real client for this game, or it gets ported to vita not as a spinoff, how likely are we going to be able to migrate our ship daughters over? Or will this game basically always be it's own thing, and be buggy and prone to these problems and limitations flash games have. They'll just make auxiliary games that'll never be as popular as the original game.

>>11860942
You have a id and password, so I guess porting is possible.

>>11860942
I still have high hopes for the vita game. I can't help but notice how touch-interaction friendly the current UI layout is

>>11860942
I'd play the game with new client, too bad I can't afford a Vita. But I'll still visit my daughters here, maybe trying to make them all 99.

>>11860942
I found it interesting that the ranking names/comments are in the API data too when it is requested from DMM services with the JS,
the client could be separated from DMM by changing like 4 lines of code.

>>11860811
>>11860789
Pearl Harbour chan. [Insert occupied country]-chan.

>>11860942
After reading recent Famitsu interview, I feel it'll be a spinoff.
As for standalone client, chance is really slim because DMM is investor of this game and hosting.

>>11860973
Singapore-chan?

I could kind of see that for the next (end of winter) event, and the date checks out.

>>11860973
didn't they just bomb the ships in the harbor anyway?

>>11860973
Leyte chan

>>11860942
>be buggy and prone to these problems and limitations flash games have.
Hate to admit but with a small staff, it's going to be hard. Redesigning the game from scratch would be probably better for them.

>>11860978
>I could kind of see that for the next (end of winter) event, and the date checks out.
Fall of Singapore falls a day after Valentine day. So fighting Singapore-chan to get your wedding ring?

>>11860981
>didn't they just bomb the ships in the harbor anyway?
That is just a whole new layer of sadism for the devs. Imagine fighting Pearl Harbour-chan but the requirement to deplete the boss gauge is to sink every fucking ship you see in the boss node.

imgur updated with latest LSC report and server name.

>>11861011
Ah, I finally know when exactly I start playing. Much appreciated.

>>11861011
Do the colors imply anything?

>>11861011
Late Tawi-tawi here, all the others who played on the next lottery is already in Palau.

So much to reach the top...

>>11861026
See the kanji at the end of the name.

One thing I noticed, finally the server name goes back to Japanese land. Well, they can still claim Hitokappu and Paramushir are in Japan, though.

Zharay, are you translating the logs too in the next release?

>>11861062
Poor Z, we ask so much from him. He probably never gets to spend much time with his daughters. Missing out on top 500s, etc.

Zharay, is it possible to track quests in real time?

>>11861084
>>11861062
Oh Zharay, while you're at it, give me a cheeseburger.

>>11860900
I don't think it's a good idea to put all the information conveniently together for the DMM police to round up all the gaijins.

>>11860816
No, only damaged it to orange health. Many artists who jumped ship a few months ago has gone back to Touhou as well, or is drawing for both titles.

Ask again when dBu stops making Touhou arranges or Hammer stops drawing Touhou. At this point killing Touhou is like trying to kill the Cthulhu Mythos; it's just too pervasive.

Have you got your Hachi yet?
I'm at 40-50 tries and got 2 Yukikazes, no other rares, not a single sub.

>>11861070
At this point I'm seeing him as the quest girl. Next he's going to personally tell us that we need to scrap two ships or win 5 PvP fights.

>>11861145
This.

>>11861140
Yes. I've got her 2 months ago, isn't it exiting?!

>>11861140
Yeah, she's at lv99.

>>11861145
Teach me your ways, master. Level 99 seem so far away for my ships..

>>11861148
Just keep using her. I sub cheese so much all my subs are at lv99.

>>11861140
Still didn't get any timer below the 1h mark. 30 tries already.

2 BB, 2 CV, 1 CL, 1 CA is kicking my bauxite's ass.

Switch 1CV with 1CA?

>>11861140
I learned my lesson about sub crafting when I started playing at the beginning of December. I'm sticking to daily attempts only so I don't bankrupt myself.

>>11861173

Use more green planes.

>>11861173
put guns on your plane

So where should I try to train Suzuya?
Trying to train her with the CLs and DDs in 4-3 just takes me to the preboss node instead of the sub nodes and 3-2/3-3 take too long

>>11861210
>>11861216
Will do.

>>11861173
Put the green planes on the longest runway.

>>11861225
Wasn't it found out that fatigue for preemptive air attack doesn't matter? you can do 3-2

>>11861236
My main worry is someone sinking at red fatigue.
I mean, I could equip damecons but wasting one of those in grinding feels like a massive waste.

>>11861242
Just bring a sub and rotate them.

>>11861242
>My main worry is someone sinking at red fatigue.
top lel

To those who answered API and KCV in this http://strawpoll.me/1103617/r , how do you do it? Using zharay's client entering the api and pressing enter pops out a flash projector which kind of defeats the purpose of KCV..

Also, which map do you guys do for world 2 daily? 2-3's unreliability is really annoying.

>>11861242
Ships don't sink at red fatigue, you're welcome.

when does waifu patch come out? i want to marry her before i get banned.

>>11861271
They'll ban all foreigners at the same time they roll out the update.

>>11861271
You might be able to marry your overly erotic submarine in less than a week.

>>11860926
I'm pretty sure alot of the chinks are the ones playing this.
Last time I went, I saw alot of Kancolle manga and translated versions of the artbooks (probably bootleg) for sale, and some of the more nerdy-ish places had some kancolle pictures on their stuff.

>>11861268
All World 2 maps have no specific compass specs. Deal with it. 2-3 is good because you can do 2-3 fuel sub runs with it.

>>11861140
>lvl99
>Hachi
The fuck. Why didnt you do E4 when you are that high lvl. Are you implying you started at December and got to 99 in 2months?

>>11860783
>>11860786
I just tried it and got raped with Zuikaku

>>11861321
I know a guy who got to 100 in 1 month, and by doing 2-3 only.

>>11861324
I wish I would get raped with Zuikaku, she's the only carrier im missing (Not counting Taihou)

>JP
Ok fess up. Which of you weeaboo did this?

>>11861175
But if you don't get hachi soon, you can't train her sooner

Guys, should I stockpile now? I have 105 buckets and 30k resources, is it enough for Midway?

>>11861271
I remember the first attempt to crack down on cheating in im@s CG happened during the Valentines event. Of course, foreigners were the most effected.

>>11861339
Maybe for E-1 and E-3 (if they have 5 maps).

>>11861292
>All World 2 maps have no specific compass specs.
Except 2-2 almost always sends you to the boss if you have a CV/CVL

>>11861339
For a thousand times, we don't know when will it start yet. Just play normally.

If I'm trying to mass produce light cruisers to do the third fleet quest while low on fuel, would 30/30/30/30 or 250/30/200/30 be better? The first one I can make 8 for 1 of the later, but they're mostly destroyers. As long as there's 1 light cruiser in those destroyers the fuel cost has been made up.. but that's a lot of bauxite.

The later I could have a chance of rare destroyers and subs. but would take longer and I only need Sendai out of the three.

>>11861350
Spam 1-1 with subs if you have them.
Spam 1-1 with throwaway destroyer if you dont have subs
No need to thank me.

>>11861350

just farm 1-1 or 1-2

>>11861339
>>11861346
>>11861349

>>11861352
I wish it would

>>11861356
I don't have subs yet. So just throw modernization material destroyers single file at 1-1 until I get Sendai?

>>11861375
Just play normally and you'll get her without trying

>>11861339
Event guidelines
1) Level doesnt matter
1a) A fleet of lvl1 kongous beat E4 during fall event
1b) Event maps scale to teitoku level during xmas event
2) Event is months away. Midway happened historically during the summer
3) Next event confirmed to be valentine/kekkon event and not the heavy bauxite Midway hinted by the devs
4) Gaijins will be banned or have their API link screwed sooner or later so better spend your resources or you risk bringing them to your grave
5) Always believe in wo

>>11861375
Sendai can drop from 1-1 boss even at B-rank. Go for it, but it will take time.

>>11861375
Yes
Get new destroyer from 1-1
Send them to 1-1
Get new destroyer from 1-1
Scrap
Repeat

>>11861380
This Wo stuff is starting to get pretty tiring, I dont see the point in filling the threads with fake info to mislead others just because its a funny meme.

>>11861389
1a) was true though and I also believe we'll get a valentine day event and midway a bit later.

>>11861378
Playing normally is using my bb/cv/cvl/3ca fleet to progress, then sitting around while I wait for repairs.

>>11861385
>>11861390
alright, I'll give it a shot.

>>11861389
None of them are fake info.
Wos never lies.

>>11861394
Did you beat 2-4?
If you didnt then go train and beat it.
If you did then just train whatever on 3-2

She'll appear while you're doing these things and you wont have to waste time doing stuff like that.

>>11861392
Yes, a night battle only map that was completely dependent on equipment and RNG fuckery could be beaten by a fleet of level 1s if you were willing to spend a full day bashing your head against it. You'd be a moron to expect the same conditions out of midway or think that's at all standard. There's absolutely no hints towards a valentines event and they can't be dumb enough to give us two beginners events in a row and take 6 months giving older players, who make up the majority of their playerbase, something to do.

>>11861394
If you have some higher level DDs, use them as your flagship and keep using the extra DDs that you get from 1-1 to accompany your main DD. You don't even need to resupply or repair them, just scrap or use them as modernization material.

>>11861401
I'm at 2-3 right now. I want to try and get the third fleet to fund my power fleet a bit more so there will be less downtime training them.

>>11861406
Well fuck, I meant 1b, the scaling.

>>11861392
1a and 1b were the only ones that were right and its because both had special conditions.
Fall being a night battle event where levels really didnt matter because everything gets a huge boost during night battle and Arpeggio event was scaled because it was created to be a newbie friendly mini-event.

>>11861415
2 was partially right, the other part of it is still unknown

I doubt we'll get midway before the end of Feb.
And 2 weeks will be more than enough for me to hoard the resources. Stress on the for me part.

>>11861321
What's wrong with being 99 now and having not lucked through E-4 from more than 2 months ago?

>>11861421
Well, at least we know midway is not going to be next month so we have a while.
If they do a valentines event/mini-event in feb then midway might be in april/june.

If they dont then it might be in march/april

>>11861430
>If they do a valentines event
>If

For 3-2 Do I have to grind my DD to level 50 for Kai-2 or is it ok at level 40ish fully modernlized?

>>11861452
You can win easily with level 30 kai DDs

>>11861448
What would be the valentines event?
Take back the chocolate from the abyss fleet?
Last event reward is a ship and a wedding ring.

I'm pretty sure the semi-marriage stuff will be linked to some Valentine-day event.

>>11861454
Better, the ring is farmable so that you can have a harem.

>>11861457
Fuck, I spent the last 3 days grinding that shit, thinking I needed the level 50 remodels. If only I knew this earlier ;_;

>>11861473
The kai2 remodels will come in handy later and you're going to need them later.

>>11861473
3-2 is all about luck but leveling them to their kai-2 is worth it especially in 4-4.

>>11861425
Reported for cheating :)

Which abyss would you marry

>>11861554
None of them because they are disgusting and annoying monsters.

>>11861554
No one.

>>11861554
None of them because they took my true beloved away from me and I will not stop until they are all wiped out and the world is peaceful.

>>11861554
As for me, it's Wo-tan-chan!

>>11861554
The abyss ships are pretty ugly and the people who like them are really annoying.
They only post misleading information like its some kind of hilarious joke and about how they want to fuck some monster headcrab thing.

How far in advance did they announce the fall event? 2 weeks?

>>11861648
Start of october

>>11861649
And it started on the 1st of November, right? So is it right to assume that we'll get a notification 1 month in advance? The winter event was a small one and we got 2 weeks to prepare

>>11861653
You should probably start preparing now for anything

>>11861655
I'm preparing with spamming taihou attempts.

>>11861653
yeah it's pretty irrational to stock up beyond regen cap before the announcement. Starting at 25k, when the announcement is made, one should be well over 80k~100k by the event's start with diligent farming.

Finally got 22 min timer after spamming for Hachi since Wednesday but KCV tells me that it's Kasumi. Fuck RNG.

>>11861554
Ironbottom-tan.

>>11861663
Indeed. If I can do 1 Taihou attempt a day, it won't be hard to round up enough resources in 2-3 weeks.
And no, I don't script.

>>11861676
How in the world are you getting the resources to do 1 Taihou attempt a day? Do you just do expeditions only?

Jesus fuck, anyone on Brunei server with massive lag?

>>11861671
Haha holy shit, all 22 minute timer for dailies but all DDs. Sorry for the blog but I just thought the trolling was amusing.

>>11861706
Pretty much yes. And 2-3 runs with subs.
Alternating between exp 5, 6, 11, 12 and 35. I sparkle every exp that's longer than an hour and I have 5 daihatsu.

>>11861715
How many subs do you use per run?

>>11861715
Also, I do the 4/2/5/5.2 recipe. I would not be able to afford the 7k bauxite one daily.

>>11861719
4.

I accidentally got rid of Yuudachi and now I'm stuck with the last sister syndrome. Will Kancolle kami-sama ever forgive me for such transgression?

>>11861707
None here.

>>11861728
The main HQ info's getting about 2 minutes to load here. I'm not even using a VPN.

>>11861725
> got rid of Yuudachi
Accidentally or not, you deserve it. Scum.

>>11861736
Don't be so cruel anon.

>>11861720

Not him, but I've done that Taihou daily recipes almost every day as well until I switched back to the 7k bauxite one. Did you also barely reach back up to the dev mats you were at before?

>>11861725

If you're over the HQ level of 10, then no. Kill yourself.

>>11861737
A good admiral would already have Yuudachi at kai2 and locked.

>>11861738
>If you're over the HQ level of 10, then no. Kill yourself.
I'm about 40 now, but it happened when I was newer at the game so probably under 10. Been trying to find her again since but no dice. Been getting a whole bunch of Shiratsuyu, though.

What's with the 25mm autocannon gun? It's not on the wiki.

>>11861786
probably just the 25mm machine guns

Perhaps we could get foreign weapons for our holo AA and sub guns. Jap AA a shit.

>>11861801

>Jap AA a shit

But the most broken Jap Strike Witch is the best AA.

>>11861751
Which map are you doing to find her? I got her from 1-3 quite often back then.

Uzuki from 1st all-30 daily craft of the day. Now, which map is easiest for Yayoi?

>>11861828
wo, please

>>11861809
Holy shit, just got her from 1-3. The curse is broken!

>>11861828
Welp, swapped their names. Can I just call her Patchy?

>>11861834
she doesn't really look like Patchy

>>11861834
So patchy is a normal craft reward but where do you get Uzuki?
Im interested in her and I want to recruit her for my DD fleet.

>>11861841
3-4 or 4-4 boss nodes

>>11861843
That sounds extremely painful.
Is there a easier way to get her?

>>11861841
3-4, 4-4, 5-1(?), 5-3(?) pick your poison.

>>11861844
No but she will probably be a drop in the future events if you're not in a hurry.

>>11861855
She looks like she's going to be Hatsukaze tier rarity so I'll do that, wait til the next event to get her.

So is there a preferred flagship for radars or not?

>>11861860

The flagship of your heart.

Why does KCV assume I want to abuse the one minute glitch and lower all the timers by one minute?

>>11861884
It's not a glitch, it's a feature!

>>11861884
>Why does KCV assume I want to abuse the one minute glitch

It's not like you can avoid abusing it, unless you go out of your way to avoid it.

I just started less than a day ago. How long until I build her?
I need her
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wucuqR5ceVQ

>>11861925
Read. The. Wiki.

>>11861932
I did, a while ago. Give me an ETA

Goddamn, fuck 3-3, every time I touch that map the RNG goes all-out troll mode. I wind up suffering more damage from it than 5-2 with nearly the same fleet.

>>11861936
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:_FAQ

If you want a exact one, go ask the RNG.

>>11861936
4:00:00

>>11861936
Fuck off, idiot.

>>11861936

>ETA

It's a fucking RNG game. There's no fucking ETA. Either your get her or your don't.

>>11861945
I know this, good damn I just wanted to know how long until I am a high enough level to have enough resources to start trying to make her on average.

>>11861949
You'll get her naturally. You don't need to be building BBs right now.

>>11861949

One thing when playing this game is resource management. You should know when you feel comfortable being able to craft BB and still rake in a net gain at the end of the day.

Figure it out. Make me proud.

>>11861949
You can get her as a boss drop as early as 2-2

>>11861954
im on it.

Apologies if this is answered somewhere, I can't seem to find a clear answer. As a beginner, what kind of ships should I be going for? Should I stick to DD with a couple of CL, or start building some CA?

>>11861962
The bigger, the better.

>>11861962
Goodjob picking the three worst ships. After 1-1 the only ships you should have in your fleet are BBs.

>>11861965
Wo pls

>>11861962
Doesn't matter. Just wing it.

>>11861962
Craft Hachi on your first try, cheat 2-4 with her on your first try, grind 3-2 until you get all the Kongou sisters, and start farming resources for Taihou recipes. That'll cover all your bases. Otherwise just stumble through with whatever works. I can't even remember how the hell I got out of the early days and I'm sure most people here can't relate either but you probably want to focus on unlocking four fleets and using whatever won't bleed you dry.

>>11861962
World 1 doesn't matter. Use whatever you find. Generally, DD+CAs can take you out of world 1 and it's ideal due to their lower resource cost. You'll need BBs by the time you get to 2-4 OR you can do what >>11861972 said by trying to gamble your way out of 2-4.

Is dmm login down?

>>11861992
again?

>>11861972
This. I don't remember how I could managed until now from my earliest days of playing

>>11861998

Makes you feel a bit nostalgic when seeing new players though.

>>11861972
The reason you want to focus on getting four fleets is only for expeditions, right?

>>11862001
Not really. You can also use 4 sortie fleets.

>>11862001
Yeah, if you don't plan on doing many expeditions, there's really no point.

>>11860996
>Fall of Singapore
Wouldn't that be a piss easy event since we're going to go from the Japanese perspective?

>>11861321
Not him but I started December 2 and am level 95 now so 99 isn't too far off.

Zuikaku isn't too bad.

Taking into account RNG, if at least 3 out of 10 get Taihou, then this 1 devmat recipe has a good chance of being legit.

>>11861452
>level 50
>Kai-2
Please tell me which DD has a remodel at level 50.

What does it mean when the Quest tab is flashing?

Also, should I be going on more expeditions than sorties? Every time I do sorties, I run down my resources. Sorties are mainly for EXP, right?

Sorry for all the questions

>>11861671
>>11861711
Are you two even doing the correct recipe? I hope you're not doing an all 30 recipe. You'll need at least a 250/30/200/30 (I got my Hachi from that) to get any chance at all.

>>11862017
You should allocate all the fleets you have towards sorties early on because the expeditions have level requirements.

>>11861962
At the start, try to get a light cruiser. Then try to get a second, then try for a heavy cruiser, then a battleship, then aircraft carrier, then a second heavy cruiser and just go wherever the fuck from there. You'll get a second carrier once you do 1-4 .

bb/2cv/2ca/whatever will power through a lot of the areas.

>>11862017
>What does it mean when the Quest tab is flashing?
Honestly, I have no idea. I just think of it as part of the game.
For everything else, do whatever you want. Level ships? Sortie. Hoard resources? Expeditions only.

>>11862017
It's always flashing

>>11862017
>>11862023
Also, there's no "right way" to play this game, only the love for your daughters except akebono.

>>11862024

I always assumed it means you progressed one of your quests.

>>11862022
which are low enough you don't have to worry much about them

>>11862018
What, that recipe also possible to got common DD if I remember correctly

>>11861962
You can't go wrong with 250/30/200/30 recipe. The rare DDs are good ships for early game (Yukikaze can also carry you throughout the whole game), a bunch of CLs have second remodels (some to CLTs, which are very useful), and even those who don't are still somewhat decent at worst at this stage of the game, and CAs are the best early game class. Not to mention one can never have enough subs (not at your level, anyway).

>>11862030
250/30/200/30 can give you anything from a common dd to a heavy cruiser. It's unreliable as fuck, but it gives you what you need.

>>11862018
Of course I'm doing 250/30/200/30. Consider yourself lucky for not seeing constant 1-1.5 hour timers.

>>11862041
In all my daily crafts, I have never seen a common DD from this recipe. Unless you're implying that Shimakaze is common?

>>11862030
>>11862041
As far as I know, I never once got a common DD from that recipe unless they nerfed it last night.

>>11862044
Oh, but I do. It wasn't easy to craft that Hachi.

I know my luck is better than those who took 50+ or even 100+ tries (took around 20 tries myself), but it isn't the best either.

>>11862051
250/30/200/30 have given me CL/CA majority of the time, mostly Haguro. So when I see a 22 min timer, I think it's a sub and not a common DD, which is why I thought it was funny in the first place.

speaking of I-8 fails, today marked my 154th, I hope you E-4 fags are happy, she has got to have the worst craft rate in game, I'm not really complaining resources wise as someone who tried 10 times for taihou, but it really rapes my devkits.

>>11862058
Did you remember wrongly or something? Like, craft an all 30 recipe and forgot that you did so? The only DDs from that recipe have 24 and 30 minutes. All my 22 minutes have been subs.

>>11862051
100 tries is like doing 3 LSC except for the devmats, I will still be happy if I get her in 300 attempts.

>>11862051
>>11862058
In the 152 attempts it took me to get I-8 I didn't get a single common DD drop. So, in a way you are lucky, since common DD from the rare DD/sub recipe is less common than the rare ships.

>>11862063
Not him but once I had a 22min timer and it was a DD too.

>>11862061
As a E-4 fag on Brunei I am very happy

>>11862071
Why does something tell me you guys slipped up and did 200/30/200/30 or something by mistake.

>>11862063
No. I have never used a 30/30/30/30 even when I was new. I've always done 250/30/200/30, it's a daily ritual for a chance to get that elusive Shimakaze. There's no way I'd do 30/30/30/30 4 times in a row and not notice my measly resource dwindle.

>>11862068
Until today I was like you. I did 50 Hachi attempts in a row couple of days ago and didn't get a single DD. Then BAM 3 DDs in a row(Shiratsuyu, Kasumi, and Oboro). What a hoot, let me tell ya.

>>11862081
Because you want to believe that RNG isn't that fucked up and one can't have shitty luck. I double check my shit because of how little resource I have. I'm poor as fuck right now because of the early week LSC + Hachi crafts.

>>11862084
That recipe gave me 3 Shimakaze already. RNG is too fucked up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMSGCNrseUA
always good

Why can't I select any expeditions with my first fleet? I'm looking at the conditions on the wiki, and I meet them all.

On the other hand, my second fleet just went on an expedition with 2 ships when the condition was 3, while also not meeting the flagship level requirement. Is this a bug, or am I missing something obvious?

>>11862084
>Shimakaze
Nigga what. Just farm her from 2-4 already.

>I did 50 Hachi attempts in a row couple of days ago and didn't get a single DD. Then BAM 3 DDs in a row(Shiratsuyu, Kasumi, and Oboro).
Confirmed for recipe having been nerfed.

>>11862095
>Nigga what. Just farm her from 2-4 already.
Tell me something I don't know. Been there, doing that everyday. Got like 7 Oois just this past week, too.

>>11862093
yes you are missing something obvious
first fleet can never do expedition
expedition fail or success is determined when they come back i.e. you just send an expedition thats gonna fail

What does the 50%/80% next to a quest mean? Nothing about it on the wiki...

>>11862100
>7 Oois
Good, now go farm quint torps from her.

As for Shimakaze just keep trying 2-4 I guess.

Weird, this is actually my first time to have a sub as MVP among these heavy hitters. Also, I need to get Shimakaze and Yukikaze as soon as I level up my CAs.
>>11862095
I keep getting DDs at 2-4 so fuck that.

>>11862103
what do you THINK it means, shitlock

>>11862106
No idea, 50%/80% bonus from doing that quest? Although it goes away all the time when the quest tracker turns blue.

>>11862103
completion percentage...

>>11862110
Holy shit.

>>11862110
Sink yourself, retard

>>11862102
So does sending more ships give a higher chance of success, or is it just a waste of fuel?

>>11862110
>>11862111
My sides.

>>11862123
Read the Wiki.

>>11862123

>>11862110
>>11862111
>>11862123
My sides.

Every time I click a quest, a little orange button shows up next to it. Am I supposed to click that button or something?

100% sure we're being trolled, nobody is actually this stupid

>>11862012
Not that easy if we are looking at IJN perspective since it is protected by 5x 15inch batteries courtesy of the rich Sultan next door and they had to neutralise Commonwealth and Dutch capital ships/subs first.

>>11862104
Are quint torps really worth levelling a ship 50 levels?

>>11862141
Compared to the likes of Midway and Ironbottom Sound it's still going to sound piss easy.

>>11862147
Having the option of cycling torpedo monsters is a good thing.

How cute.

>>11862147
Yes.

I also plan to get multiple pois for their cannons. And multiple Shigures for their radars. And so on.

How come the quests bug so much on KCV?

What should my crafting priorities be? I've gotten 2 46 cm, which is enough for 1 BB, so should I move on to planes or sonars, or maybe try my hand at Taiho?

>>11862204
why don't make the decisions for yourself on your own, faggot

>>11862154
>>11862177
Welp, didn't think of that.

>>11862214
Me neither. I guess I'll keep my multple KTKM and Ooi.

>>11862210
Should I focus on hoarding resources for Midway or would it be better to try getting a fleet up to at least level 70?

>>11862220
hoard. The event drops are probably too good to pass up.

These threads are moving so fast, I can't take it easy any more.

How do people farm 5-2 for rank points? I'm running 3 CLT 2 CV, 1 CVL with about 300 air superiority value and over 60% of my runs are retreats because someone gets hammered to red by a single gold CA or gold BB hit
It's easier to reset for E compass in 2-2 and wait out the fatigue than to spend thousands on repairs every day. Seven runs and out of those, four retreats
Akagi's fault twice, Kisos once and Kitakamis once. I'm like 2000 steel down from repairs already because they never dodge anything. And I'm talking level 70+ ships with half of them being 95+

How do I clear a slot in my fleet?

>>11862281
Yes.

>>11862268
Funny, I find 5-2 no problem at all running 2 CV, 1 CVL, 1 BB, 2 CLT. But then I try finishing the 3-3/3-4 weekly replacing the CVL with something else and fuck that never touching that weekly again. Spent about 2000 steel, 3000 fuel and ammo, and way too many buckets just to get my last 4 kills.

I have no clue how that red BB on 3-3 is so much more of a bitch than the gold BB on 5-2 but somehow it pulls it off. Of course getting sent to furniture boxes after eating two crits makes it feel even worse.

>>11862284
I'm sorry, I've looked around like crazy and tried all of the buttons on the fleet page, nothing is working

>>11862297
click the button that lets you change ship and choose the very top option

>>11862281
Whats with all these retarded questions all of a sudden? What did I miss?

>>11862290
My track record:
Retreat at first node, 17 times due to t cross adv and gold CA hammering a CV for 50-60 damage
Retreat at sub node: 2 times due to flag plus elite subs all shooting the same ship and critting it to red
Retreat at SE node ( out of 89 runs that get this far, I went SE 75 times ): 59 times

This is complete bullshit. Today is the final straw. I am done with 5-2. I can just reset at 2-2 for E -> E with 2 CVL, 3 CLT and 1 SS every 15 minutes and practically take no damage
No battles before the boss either. 3 S ranks at 2-2 are one S rank at 5-2 and considering you will have repair times from 5-2 unless you bucket even 6-10 damage shit, it should at least be sufficient to stay somewhere around 460-490

You can't comprehend either. I expect no less from these threads though.

I doubt it. I also can't read moon and realize that was a dumb question. The top option is most clearly different than the others and doesn't even have stats. Cmon, guy.

For all we know, it could mean "scrap this ship in this position"

Even if you don't know moon, you can still navigate the superior wikiwiki with minimal problems.

There's more retarded stuff above that one, that was just the most recent one.

Scrapping is already pointed out to be in the Factory. If you read the wiki, you would know that.

I'm doing the exact same thing, still no Sendai. Getting to level 20 would be nice too..

The samefag that keeps posting shit responses like >>11862731 is so easy to bait. He practically asks for us to shitpost more.

It was made that way to reward truNEETs.

>>11862763
You need the Sendai sisters to open the third fleet.

>>11862763
She's needed for the third fleet quest. I've gotten at least ten Jintsu's and Naka's, when I just need a single Sendai.

>>11862754
Any admiral who lets a shipdaughter sink is a failure of an admiral.

>>11862763
Gotta get her for that one quest where you need all three Sendai-class light cruisers in your main fleet. Gives you your third fleet slot.

>>11862754
I used to be like you, but then my sacrificial DD went first on 1-1 node 1 and got shot to red in retaliation. Decided I'd rather let her sink than end the sparkle run and eat the -1 fatigue.

Do you even read these threads? Plenty of advice is freely give out, if only to spite the wiki spammers.

>>11862793

But one of my daughters "sank" and I found her washed ashore. Thank goodness, I thought I totally lost her.

And real advice is mixed in with misleading information sometimes because hilarious wo jokes.

I liked it better when these threads were actually filled with helpful info and not just shitposting and retarded questions.

>>11862780

>No real advice is given since any questions are met with "read the wiki" or "nice blog"

Well maybe if you actually asked questions outside those already answered in the FAQ.

Whenever I ask something or ask for advice I usually get something really useful, but I first do a quick search in the thread to see if someone already answered the question I want to ask.

Don't be an entitled faggot.

>>11862812
Back then nobody knew which way was up and people were still figuring shit out.

This is a /vg/ thread. It's just in the wrong board.

>Plenty of advice is freely give out, if only to spite the wiki spammers.
You know, I've never really thought of it this way, but the people going ``read the wiki'' might be wikidevs trying to get more hits. Yeah, that's totally it.

>>11862812
I had a look through the archives the other day and I thought that the early threads, the ones from August or so, are a thousand times better than now. I really regret not starting earlier now. Fuck you guys, what the fuck happened?

>>11862833
You happened.

>>11862833
>>11862810
I don't mind answering questions because no one is going to search the archive every time they have a question but stuff that was answered a few posts above but the people that ask stuff like "Whats this big red button on my home screen?" are just retarded and should end themselves.

>>11862833
The people going "read the wiki" are people who want people to stop asking stupid fucking questions.

>Fuck you guys, what the fuck happened?
Kancolle got popular and these threads became containment for /a's retarded questions and blogging.

>>11862842
>because no one is going to search the archive every time
WELL THEY FUCKING SHOULD

>>11862843
That isn't the case. Sometimes people ask questions that have nothing even related to it on the wiki, and these people obviously know it isn't on the wiki, yet still tell them to fuck off and read the wiki.

>>11862846
No they don't.

Where's the best place to kill 50 transports in less than 12 hours? Pls send help

>>11862850
They don't, but they should, because people should try and help themselves before asking retarded questions.

It's like rec threads.

>>11862852
3-5 subs in 2-3 then 3 CLT, 3 BB in 2-2
you didn't say it should be cheap

>>11862852
How did you manage to not clear あ号作戦 until now? I finished it on the first day sparkling my ex5 fleet.

>>11862849
Sometimes people just use it to shitpost but sometimes people do ask retarded questions that show they never bothered to read the wiki or are just too stupid to play the game and need someone to hold their hands.
Stuff like
>>11862713
>>11862103
>>11862133
>>11862281
for a few examples.

>>11862868
What kid of crazy strong expensive ex5 fleet do you have? All my sparkling is done in 1-1.

oh... this is my site
thank you for using
Do you need English version?

>>11862874
Well, seeing as how none of the requirements for あ号作戦 require any map beyond 1-1, the exact same ex5 fleet as you. I keep the Akigumo-gata, Kagerou-gata, Shiratsuyu-gata, Bep, and Yukikaze, as well as a couple Imuya and Goya, and Tatsuta/Tenryuu sparkled. I think I'd forgotten to resparkle my alt fleet so I ended up sparkling two ex5 fleets at once.

>>11862868
I didn't play all week, and I didn't realize it was Sunday already. I-I'm sorry, anon, I promise I'll stop procrastinating in the future.

>>11862863
I figured as much. I wonder if I can finish it with a positive steel gain.

Does anyone have firsthand experience with taking 2+ SSV to 2-2? I'm getting mixed statements about their contribution to the compass rule.

Most of us can read japanese reliably, thank you still

>>11862905
Most of us can't, you elitist idiot

>>11862885
English version would be helpful

>>11862885
A english version would be pretty helpful for the ones that cant read japanese

>>11862885
Thank you very much for making that!

>>11862909
>Most of us can't, you elitist idiot
Why are you playing this game?

>>11862905
>Most of us can read japanese reliably
If people could read japanese reliably then they wouldnt have to ask stupid questions.

>>11862917
Because I can and I like cute girls
