This is quite possibly the worst piece of art in the game's history

>>16328232
Is Shibafu suffering from Parkinson's or something?

Why do they give out proto46s for rewards?

本日開幕の有明海域、冬コミ(C91)では「艦これ」運営鎮守府&KADOKAWAからは新作の【「鳳翔」さん二合徳利&お猪口二揃え 】や【個人携行兵站バッグ(金剛mode)】などをKADOKAWA公式ブースにてC91先行展開中です。こちらもよかったらよろしくお願い致します！

I don't see a bra

>>16328232
Lmao, literally a snowball

>>16328232
Fucking terrible.

>>16328232
Waifu2x on Shibafu's blurry style isn't doing it any favors.

>>16328267
Because it's good?

>>16328232
>shitbafu
What the fuck is this playdoh tier art?
Shitbafu been playing too much play-doh??
Kancolle playdoh merchandise soon??

>>16328103
Because Yoshinori and Konishi at least have a good understanding of Akira's abyssal design structure and style, probably because of how used they are to designing rigging and clothes for their ships. Shitbafu obviously doesn't.

>>16328280
She has never worn a bra.

Nice 9-slot max star yasen plane activation.
Truly epic.

>>16328459
>flagship Akitsushima
Are you, perhaps, a retard?

>>16328459
Kamo has good evasion

>>16328462
She was targeted by the boss at night, so your point is moot.

>>16328469
If you had put Ooyodo as flagship you would've killed her.

>>16328280
>tfw Jiji goes to C91 undercover

>>16328459
They gain activation rate from levels too.

>>16328475
Double chevron as well, of course.

本日【12/29(木)】午後にサービスを停止しない形で、師走の新BGMを実装するミニアップデートを実施予定です。同ミニアップデートにより、新曲【師走の鎮守府】が実装されます。また、「家具屋さんのお品書き」も一部更新され、新季節家具「鎮守府大掃除道具」などを実装予定です。

>>16328507
I mean ship levels.

>>16328520
Kai 2 news any day now.

>>16328527
Pray for Zara.

>>16328527
>Aoba K2 will come soon

>>16328522
She's fucking 92.

>>16328539
63 more levels to go.

>>16328530
Who?

>>16328544
The Armored Heavy Cruiser of KanColle.

>>16328546
That's Prinz.

>>16328552
Admiral Hipper class had weak armor.

>>16328544
Zaratoga

>>16328559
>of KanColle

Not in-game.

>>16328552
Fine, the official eventual Armored Heavy Cruiser of KanColle.

>>16328572
It's not my fault that people who know nothing of physics think that surviving a nuke is hot shit.

>>16328567

>>16328580
Well for an animal that isn't a cockroach or some other radiation resistant bug it would be.

>>16328580
Hey fuck you I graduated with a B.S. in Physics this month and I find it hot shit. That said, Zara or Pola really need that Kai 2 and to be turned into armored cruisers.

>>16328572
Tanaka's wehraboo tendencies are well-documented.

本日この後サービスを継続しつつ、新BGM【師走の鎮守府】を実装するミニアップデートを実施します。全サーバ群へ【13:00】までに実装完了、その後再接続で自動更新されます。家具屋さんも一部更新、同BGM付新季節家具「鎮守府大掃除道具」(特注家具職人は不要です)も実装です！

>>16328596
Even some nip CAs have the same armor as Zara or more. It's less wehraboo and more pasta bullying.

>>16328527
Atago, please.

>>16328220
No, new furniture was NOT implemented.

>ranking rewards
OP is a faggot.

>>16328459
Nice stock BattleInfo. I bet it can't even do enemy combined fleet.

>>16328459
Plane slot size doesn't matter beyond 1.

Also try upgrading your yasen plane, that's the only way other than ship level to increase yasen proc rate.

Does anyone have the Vita table for normal construction?

C91 is live. What boat-related are you looking forward to see?

Threadly reminder that Teste exists.

>>16328759
Warspite is 17!

>>16328771
A beste.

>>16328772
Fuck off.

>>16328771
>Threadly reminder
Yeah please don't do that.

>>16328759
>>16328772
>>16328777
Déjà vu

>>16328772
Is Warspite so boring that you have to steal a cute hag's meme?

>>16328782
I've been in this place before.

So if we used the Vita formula for yasen plane proc rate and applied it to a max star recon plane, it'd reach 100% proc rate on a level 98+ ship. Is this true?

>>16328783
Kamikaze is 14, not 17.

>>16328779
Why? It's proper general etiquette to have staples like this.

>>16328794
No, I failed with married ships and maxed yasen plane plenty of times.

>>16328800
You're retarded.

>>16328772

>>16328841

>>16328765

you guys do know theres a thread up on /a/ right?

>>16328878

>Ships that will never get Kai Nis

>>16328814
Thankfully for Kongou she wasn't the actual oldest battleship in WWII. Germany had a few pre-dreads leftover from before WWI ie actual grandmas, not to mention Wyoming, Texas, New York and Arkansas were all older than her by a couple years at least.

>>16328232
>>16328244
Fairly certain this is a symptom of cataracts.

>>16328868
Kaga is obsolete.
>>16328888
But Shoukaku does have a Kai Ni.

>>16328883
And?

>>16328765

>>16328891
Oldest ship in game, but I don't recall her doing anything in WW1 unlike Warspite with Jutland.

How do I idlecolle?

>>16328915

What would history be like if the INJ had granted the RN's request to send the Kongous to Jutland?

>>16328922
Well, most ships that sank at Jutland were battlecruisers so there's a pretty high chance one of the Kongos would've been among them at the time.

>>16328893
Kaga is friends with Saratoga

Russian ship when?

>>16328916
Only do pvp and send 2/6/21 all day every day.
Once a month 1-5 and 2-5.

>>16328916
Close the game.

Wait for event.

>>16328765

3 fucking years and I don't have the meganegumo.
If I were a glassesfag, I would have to kill myself.

>>16328967

After Dutch and Swedish ships.

>>16328973
Holy shit, how is this possible? Events drop her frequently.

>>16328973
Orel, nigger.

>>16328973
I would give you mine for naganami.

>>16328970
Don't listen to him.
Your goal is to play the game as little as possible and still beat every event. Unfortunately, you will have to do the easy monthly quests and maps for screws and check your expeditions fairly often. PvP is your main leveling option. Pick something cheap which can still achieve A in yasen (no carriers so that you don't waste bauxite and plane levels)
There is no need to do daily/weekly sortie quests or spam orel.
Trust me, I'm a pro.

No she doesn't, Japanese battleships had beautiful pagodas and they were pretty much works of art. What you posted is an abomination.

>>16329178

There's multiple people that just want to shitpost. The threads share mostly the same posters this is just more refine since you can talk about the game without getting banned.

Something's not right here.

In 2016 they gave 6 kai nis (5 of them destroyers) and they added over twice that amount of shipgirls. Apart from Kinu the last kai ni was literally half year ago, why was there such a kai ni drought this year?

Of course, all the Touhou fans said that it would be temporary, Kancolle was just a fad that wouldn't be sustained.

>>16329847
>Kancolle
You mean that shitty knockoff of KanColle?

>>16329747
The Arpeggio crossover really helped KanColle.

>>16329856
>kancolle
>big C

>>16329939
It's to tell it apart from this:
http://kancolle.gogames.me/

>>16329916
Amazing how KC completely overtook Arpeggio in popularity after that crossover.
The only thing that franchise has these days are some shitty looking reskins in World of Warships.

>>16329949
The Arpeggio movies were a flop.
The manga has been pretty shit in 2016 as well. Lets hope phase2 can actually save the franchise.

Why doesn't Tanaka do promotions with DMM?
I've seen every other game doing promos with them except Kancolle.

>>16329978
>doing promos for a knockoff
Now why would he do that

>>16329966
Seriously, I'm surprised the franchise is still even a little bit popular after two long stupid years of waiting for the Kongou battle to finally end.
Hopefully, it starts getting interesting again now that that bore fest is over.

>>16329747
Kiniro Mosaic, IBS, Wanko and Arpeggio crossover pretty much gave it the huge early boost, not to mention there was a lot of drama in nipland over some nobody taking over 2hu, which only gave it more exposure. Also props to the devs for not fucking up the gravy train because a lot of people never know how to keep momentum or flat out ruin it. Maybe related, but there was also not a decent mecha musume or naval military show/game at the time, Arpeggio was the only one with cute girls and Girls und Panzer had just finished airing, so the hunger stuck around.

>>16329847
Ask a Touhou fan what it needs to do to win back its popularity, and watch them try to think of something the franchise has not done already and drawing a blank.
Sooner or later, it was going to do a Simpsons, and every story that can be told, would be told told, leaving it in limbo.

>>16330024
>>16330030

>>16328459
Are you retarded?

>kancolle is a fad
>kancolle will die in a few months time
I have been hearing this since 2013 for 3years now. It is going to be 2017 in a few days and it is still going strong.

>>16330014
It's because Arpeggio had the idea and an interesting start. Then he had no idea what to aproach or how to keep going at a normal pace while also making protag-kun even more keikaku dori while the sub keep dodging walls of fire from a dozen of lazer and homing torpedo armed ships that could easily level a large city. It's interesting and all but slowly going into bs territory.

The anime was imo supperior, even if sidecanon, delivering a short semicomplete local story of the beginning and having just the right amount of everything.

>>16328973
3 years wat is 1-4, 2-3 and 5-4 you are either lazy never sortie or exaggerating.

>>16330020
This just reminds me of how Pokemon Go just vanished even with brand recognition.

>>16330093
How about never reaching boss node in 4-2 over 30+ sorties.

>>16330058
Little do the 2hufags understand; kancolle and touhou are exact same thing.

>>16330020

>>16330058

>>16330107
>gameplay

>>16330095
In the west.

Pokemon Go is still pretty recognizably popular in Japan. I still play it and I see other people playing it.

>>16330058

To be fair, it LOOKED like it when the game started. Even Tanaka didn't believe the game would last more than 6 months when it was launched which pretty much makes the current popularity of Kancolle a miracle.

>>16330095
At least they complement each other nicely.

>>16330123
KanColle was never "just another mobage" because there was some serious thought put into designing the characters (I mean all the historical stuff) and it truly wanted to be a game instead of typical gacha/p2w cashgrab.

>Even Tanaka didn't believe the game would last more than 6 months when it was launched
I don't think ZUN expected Touhou to be huge either.
And I'm pretty sure it was "we didn't expect for KanColle to keep gaining popularity after 6 months" rather then "I didn't believe it could last 6 months".

>>16330108
Yeah, Kongou and Karen being the same wacky Brit helped, not to mention both had the same actress. It couldn't have come at a more crucial time, how it grew this large intrigues me, so many perfect timings.

So when exactly did Kancolle threads start popping up in 2013?

>>16330141
The attention to detail certainly helped in grabbing mili ota interest too, I imagine stuff like "look, on Shibafu carriers' damaged arts you can exactly see where they got bombed in real life!" has big viral potential.

>>16328765

You reminded me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtlrQKOeFM8
This vid was one of the things which got me into playing the game.

Joined the game around October 2013. Even got to join in the rape of Abrar's Kongou

>>16330161
I still remember when I first heard about it (coincidentally during the Arpeggio crossover and C86), I saw Yuudachi kai 2 for the first time. I thought her design was genius, it was exactly what I wanted in mecha musume based off real life machinery. Before that everybody had a big gun and random wings or trying to humanize Gundam and other military vehicles. Downsize turret for easy handheld use, non-intrusive torpedo tubes and smokestack backpack, everything is compact and within the realm of possibility. Body frames ranging from little girl to adult depending on size and displacement was also something I liked, before that there was too much loli, which didn't make sense for a BB. And then everything is WW2, even the fucking bulldozer is, the little historic details like the dragon's battle damage, Ooyodo having very low torpedo stat, the different combined fleet formations, equipment cards being very accurate, they never stopped trying and I hope they don't stop or forget why it got huge. Too many games die because of greed or corporate intervention.

>>16330221
This one may have issues with corporate greed, considering how little funding the base game gets in comparison to the outsourced franchising and events.

>>16328232
Is s/he even trying there?

>>16328232

You know, don't you have your own thread?

>>16330271
If you deny it, you're simply ignorant.

>>16330221
Kancolle success is largely attributed to the non existent of gacha exclusive. I mean even 100slotters can get 8memedals.

>>16330642
It's almost reached P2W status though.
Semi-P2W-ish, I say

>>16330107
Not really, 2hu is a doujin franchise.

>>16330123

Browser games and mobage are basically the same thing, don't nitpick here.

>>16330652
I unlocked both bases without much effort a couple of days after they were introduced. What's the problem?

>>16330660
I didn't know a knockoff of KanColle was able to have a collab

>>16330653
I am playing it on my android right now

>>16330652
The problem with this is that, Tanaka still has to make sure that those who don't pay, like that 100 slotter, will still be able to clear events even without having all those P2W items. This is why I'm worried that we won't ever have any actual difficult events again. Unless Tanaka allows us to earn currency that also works in the cash shop or something, but I can't see it happening.

Though you should use a better example like the Akashi slot. You don't need that construction thingy.

>>16330662
>What's the problem?

Not a problem per se. You don't necessary have to buy something if you fully know what you're gonna do.

>>16330672
Yeah, Akashi slot really is pay2win, especially coupled with purchasable screws. Now you can get +10 armor on your big ships and fill the fleet with upgraded AA guns if you use your wallet.

>>16330672
They gave out like 16akashi hammer so far in the game.
For a 100slotter, that is 16% of his boats having an extra slot.

>>16330642
The main reason I picked up the game and kept playing it was every girl being obtainable. I think this itself was a major factor as well, you can actually complete the collection.

According to the chinks Alt-F5 allows you to refresh PvP even without API. Anyone want to have a go?

>>16330652
Don't need to pay that thing.

>>16330685
Certain equipment, notwithstanding?

Increase in the default available slots when? There will soon be too many girls and all they've been increasing is the maximum slots, but not the starting ones.

>>16330682
But a 100 slotter will constantly need to get rid of old ships which have been surpassed by new ones. Some of those ships he gets rid of might have had Akashi slots used on them.

>>16330693
He was referring to ships, not equipment.

>>16330693
Should have joined the game right at the start
You only have yourself to blame.

>>16330660
hello wikia.

>>16330693
You can't buy it with your money either. idiot

>>16330642
I don't see the point of a Kan Colle game where you prefere to Colle memedals rather than Kans.

>>16329697
Kai Nis are old and busted. Seasonal CGs and gaijin botes are the new hotness.

>>16330114
Reminder that ZUN is based as fuck and Tanaka is just a fag.

>>16330693
Thought I was clear that I was talking sbout the girls. Equipment is a secondary issue, but any Facebook casual is likely to want to unlock all the cute girls. Equipment is for those really into it.

>>16330681
Giving everyone megami is way more powerful than a bit more armor or AA.

>>16330696
I suspected that Tanaka know which 90-100 kanmusu are necessary for the players to have; anything else basically trophies.

So it's up to the players whether they want to keep those " event trophies", or scrap them.

>>16330722
Unless it's Maya

>>16330724
With more and more silly routing in events, Daihatsu sluts, Abucumrag, OASW and all kinds of shit, the port size requirements have increased.

>>16330672
I hope Tanaka introduces the Hime difficulty for "this game is too easy, lol" fags like you, where you fight fool combined fleets of Himes, Onis, water Onis, Wo kai san, troll subs and other shit from the very first node without LBAS support and no more than 1 CV, BB, CL and CA each, just for you to enjoy the full potential of balanced gameplay.

>>16329697
Tanaka realized that boatcollect ain't gonna die any time soon so he decided to make second remodels less frequent. Basically as >>16330708 says. Expect to see south american fishing boats (from WW2 era, of course) before second remodels for remaining starters.

I hope it bites him in the ass and boatcollect dies in 2018.

>>16330736
You must be daft if you don't think that every event after summer 2015 has been a joke. Even Spring 2016, hyped as the hardest event of this year, ended up being piss easy once the bugs were cleared out. Well, most of them.

And yes, I would certainly welcome the hime difficulty.

>>16330735
CL requirements have been the same at 4, and DD requirements have only been increased from ~14 to ~18.

>>16330722
Megami is cheating.

>>16330751
Well sorry i prefer more casual gameplay and not rolling dice that have only 4 out of 36 successfull combinations where i not just loose, but get penalised if i don't win.

>>16330784
The way to solve this would be to add an extra difficulty level above 甲

>>16330273
>Pixiv tag: reverse NTR

>>16330793
Or just make the current Hard harder.

丁 difficulty when.

>>16330795
>Meaning where a heroine or other side character steals the male protagonist away from another heroine.

Wow, I guess.

>>16330799
I'm surprised the devs aren't taking the idea of having the last map reward only equipment, but be on an insane difficulty even on easy. Casuals will just stop at the second last map.

What is Wakaba's current standing in KanColle fandom?
Feel that, this little fella doesn't get very much recognition.

>Kancolle success is largely attributed to the non existent of gacha exclusive
Yeah. It took me like two years to start playing because I assumed it was full gatcha shit. Heck, the gatcha is the reason I don't play that Granblue or Fate games,

>>16330843
Who?

>>16330843
She's the most who of the most who DD class. Blame Yadokari for making her an Ikazuchi clone in a suit.

>>16330861
>LOchan

Nips, and their liquid consonant, really

>>16330828
Why not make the first node on the first map on an insane difficulty and make it get twice as hard with every next node while every next map gets twice as hard as the previous one? Maximum fun guarantee.

>>16330873
It's fun.

>>16330642
>>16330861
How do you guy differentiate exclusive gacha that gets a repeat event/sale after n years and event kanmusu that you can get only after n years after it got introduced (in most cases)?

>>16330886
With the exception of Katsuragi, all kanmusu have been available again in a year or less.

>>16330886
I dont need to spend money to get an event exclusive. Beat the event and get the girls as opposed to rolling a 2% gacha exclusive for 500yen/try. Lets use this as an example, how much would 1spend to get her?

You only need time to get all the boatsluts. Feels free to count the 1000yen expansion slots if you deem that necessary to colle them all.

>>16330886
Because you can farm the exclusive Botedaughters until getting it, while in gatcha games you need to pay for every extra chance of getting the rare girls.

>>16330886
Event girls don't cost money and they're only a problem when you're a newfag. I got every event exlusive ship including the ones that were unavailable when I joined after 4 events.

>>16330923
Oh. I just drowned in Yuus, Zaras, Grafs and other DDs this event. My bad...

>>16330927
>>16330928
>>16330942
You only need time to acquire ingame currency and have a go at not only the one you want, but something rare that you still didn't have (not as efficient as popular gacha games have x2 of characters to acquire caompared to KanColle).
Main point: time is a factor in both types of games, gacha just needs more time because there are more charecters.

It may sound like i'm just shitposting, but i just don't see these two types of game all that much different.
Quality put into each character detail/seasonals/voicelines leaves KanColle unrivaled though.

>>16330923
Too bad about equipment second Murata never.

>>16330962
I difference is you can't pay your way through KanColle because everything you can farm is god damn expensive.

>>16330886
Lel no

Some limited time gacha simply doesn't get introduced ever again, and the fact that you have to spend thousands just for a chance is a turn-off. Here you can get a chance to complete your dex without spending thousands on gacha, and you can be sure that any money you spend (docks, rings, screws etc) will definitely have concrete results.

Event kanmusu are unlikely to take 2 years to come back.

>>16330962
Thing is, you pretty much can't bruteforce kancolle with money alone, amounts would be ridiculous for minuscule returns. The game itself doesn't encourage people to pay for chances of obtaining something, and isn't built around such mechanics.

>>16330974
>results
Meant returns.

>>16330962
>You only need time to acquire ingame currency and have a go at not only the one you want, but something rare that you still didn't have
Aren't some characters limited only to real money currency? Most games I checked are pretty bullshit about that.

I have do have a strong prejudice against gatcha games tho, so I ain't that used to them and I may be less knowledgeable in this subject. But lets say I start playing that Fate game today, there is a free way to get the Pisma Illias? What about Grandblue? Seems some characters behind low chance gatcha are the most "meta" ones.

>>16330969
>>16330978
Good points.

>>16330990
>>16330974
Unless you are fixated on completing the dex or are a completionist in general, i don't see my inability to acquire some character as a turn-off. People willing to play mass collection games should expect them to be a money sink of sort. Nothing other than personal autism forces you to spend money on the game.
I guess priorities shift once you reach endgame, where you have very little to do other than collect. KanColle indeed is superior in that regard.

>>16330962
>ingame currency

I thought gacha means you have to buy rolls, maybe you get 1 or 2 free attempts a day but if you don't get that 0.1% chance thing you want though shit hand over your money.
Imagine if during events you could only get a few S-ranks a day and any more would cost you.

>>16329744
Where did you even get this?

>>16331013
>fixated on completing the dex or are a completionist in general
Actually, I willingly gave 12000円 in slots to Tanaka to collect the kantai.

I'm fearing a p2w trend in KanColle tho, first the barrels (well, we got a quest) and now the expansions. I hope they don't keep steadily adding small p2w things over time.

>>16331037
I think you mistake gacha games and other online MMO type games. Gacha usually wants you to buy ingame currency then start rolling. MMOs offer you to purchase both ingame currency and ingame stuff through outside/main page shops.
Or maybe i haven't played enough mobile/gacha games.

>>16331059
Spending money on slots is actually a smart move. Naive people like me can really get invested in the different characters and have a hard time getting rid of them, especially compared to other games where characters are mostly just pretty pictures with very little else to them.

Reminder that Sara gets a K2 in 2017 while Kaga gets nothing.

>>16331059
The only real P2W is the Goddess Fairy, everything else is still subjected to RNG. Hell, some failed to clear Spring and Summer 2016 even with Hayasui, goddess activated shipgirls completely missing the boss like one reverse RTA TTKs Ooyodo and AA mechanics are still flimsy. The only benefit is the +3 FP from upgraded AA guns.

>>16331013
The purpose of collecting has always been with me fom the start. When I first started playing this game in early December 2013, I wanted to collect everyone in case they got powerful kai nis like Yuudachi and Shigure (the latter eventually fell behind due to power creep). It was something that I felt I could be good at, and getting all the ships and dupes of elites was a leverage to that means.

As time passed on it became more for the sake of collection, and less for the sake of kai nis, though kai nis were still coming out pretty frequently back then, and I still wanted more elites. I was even toying with the idea of filling my entire ship dex with married ships for every entry, but I just didn't have the autism for it.

Then specific ship routing happened. It took me a while to realise it, but specific ship routing meant that each ship's name was a stat that mattered during events, giving me a new reason to collect everyone. The nuke ships this autumn all but confirmed it.

>>16331105
Sara got nuked as part of a test while kaga sunk in honorable battle.

>>16331122
>Japs

Posting this in advance: RIP Taneda Risa

>>16331109
Its funny how the P2W girl has her niche with 3-5, otherwise I'd see no use for her as she's pretty terrible as even a P2W mechanic.

>>16331122
>starts with gold background
>Akagi is holo
>Hiryuu is sakura at kai 2

>>16331059
It's not the first time people thought this game was going pay to win. When screws were announced, everyone acted like the sky was falling. Rings didn't get much of a good reception either. The former ended up being easy to collect and the latter is mostly negligible. Definitely not required to pay to clear anything. Akashi slots will probably get a quest too, but events have been handing out more than I knew what to do with. And if anything they're less pay to win than they were before. At least now you only need to pay for one thing instead of constantly refilling it with cash shop items. I'm sure Tanaka's aware of KanColle's free to play reputation and won't go too far against it.

>>16331122

>>16331136
What does that say in regards to Americans sinking Sara and a bunch of other of their own ships?

>>16331156
At least she survived the war and died performing one last service to her country.

>>16331122
Kaga is common gold shit.

Is this by Shibafu?

>>16331156
That's postwar. The quote doesn't apply to postwar shit.

>>16331168
Being gutted and experimented on is not something i would want my country to repay me with for my service during the war.

>>16331156
>Applying the quote to postwar events.
Sea Monkeys everyone. Even though that quote is is hard to take out of context, not to mention it even has a picture thus putting it in context, they still don't get the meaning.

>>16331189
Ships are not human anon. They are an investment.

>>16331192
I think he's asking "so you can survive to the end of the war just so you can die in some postwar experiment?"

>>16331135
They even draw the line when they feel it is necessary even though players don't care.

Remember when LSC was introduced? After 2 months, they outright removed the shortcut icon to the payshop on the LSC menu.
While it won't stop some crazies to buy resources for LSC spree, that kind of move and others, such as outright stating that white day cookies are not money efficient, indicate clearly they don't want people to spend astronomous amount of money.

Hell, LSC was a perfect chance for them to introduce a money gacha if they wanted to. Even if players would scream scam at them, they could potentially catter a lot of people desperate for either Yamato or Musashi.
In fact, event exclusive ships could remain exclusive and moved to a gacha like any other scam mobage.

I've spent like 20K just for slots and rings, and I don't feel bad about it, especially the game lasted for more than 3 years in my case. That's hardly possible with nowadays business model with games (be it gacha and DLC).

>>16331189
Well, if you want to compare yourself to a lumps of steel then there's no stopping you, really.

Why is Kasumi ashamed about her mustache?

>>16331202
Thats the point i'm interested in.

>>16331212
The ships had no crew and thus were already dead.

>>16331212
I don't know mate, fighting in a war and surviving it just so you can die in some postwar experiment seems kinda pointless to me. It would probably be better to go down fighting in a blaze while severely hampering your enemy, like USS Johnston did.

>>16331209
>>16331221
Sara is not a lump of steel!

>>16331229
Go back to your thread, Yukari.

>>16331126
Sneak attacks are honoraburu, you howaito piggu. Samurai warfare was all about them, in fact is the enemy fault for not being smart/cautious/aware.

The USA knew about the attack tho, they just let their men to die for political and propaganda reasons, but that's another different topic.

>>16331234
They knew there would be an attack. Not where.

>>16331234
So Samurai weren't honorable at all. Gotcha.

>>16331228
Ships don't get a choice because they don't think for themselves. I think you need a break from KanColle.

>>16331212
Who gives a shit.

>>16331059
I don't see how Akashi slots are any more p2w than they were before. Before the only people that could use them effectively are the ones willing to buy megamis for everyone and then they would never have to retreat. Now I can actually use them for something too.

>>16331255
Yes they do!

>>16331228
If you want to feel sorry for people postwar, then you shouldn't be feel sorry for ships but for the soldiers on all sides who were crippled for life.

I mean, sure I'm applying it to ships now, but it applies just as well to people too. Would you rather survive the war and be a useless cripple for life or would you rather go down in a last stand that turns the war in your side's favour like the Alamo or Saragarhi?

>>16331181
Yes.

I have 210 slots right now and I can't imagine going back to 100, always having to decide who to scrap and who I liked enough or who was good enough to keep was a nightmare. Wish I had just bought those slots sooner because not having the originals of some ships bothers me.
