/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Welp. Didn't see that coming, moot.

I'm afraid to ever take a Destroyer again to a fight to clear 3-2. No more. Not after what happened to Верный.

Not sure what my plans for using my build allowances are now that the update's been moved to Friday. I can roll for Yukikaze, but she's the last buildable ship I can make with her recipe, and I can't spare any bauxite for radar until I know what's going to be in the update. Help.

>>11484238
There's an update coming? Some event or something?

>>11484229
No guts, no glory, no revenge.

>>11484241
A Destroyer remodel, new ships and Musashi event, I think.

>>11484245
I don't think all of those will come at the same time.

Fuck off back to >>>/a/94282216

Not otaku culture

Why is my timer not showing? It's at 00:00 for both of my ships.

>>11484261
You changed your pc clock or something?

>>11484264
No. Do I have to set it to Japan time or something?

>>11484266
Nope, which timer are you referring to by the way( even tho it shouldn't matter)? Usually your timer gets screwed up because you tinkered with your PC's clock. You can always try clearing cache and relogging.

>>11484268
The timer in the ship contruction.
It's stuck at 00:00. Pressing get will lead me to an error page. If I wait a few minutes I could get my ship but I want to see how much time is left for my ship to arrive.

>>11484271
Your timers are set at 00:00 the moment you construct a ship or? If so -
>Reset your pc clock
>Clear cache, relog and enter again
Possible to use another pc and check if it has the same problem

Is there a way to get new furniture without paying real cash?

>>11484303
You mean the pieces the require the furniture fairy? There's a quest that gives you one.

Man, there's no notice that you are 100/100 on ships? I was wondering why I wasn't getting drops, even from S-ranking boss fights a few times, then I only realised when I tried making a ship and it didn't let me. All the potential Kongous gone ;_;

>>11484319
Home port screen, left most button in the top bar.

>>11484319
There's a red message before you enter the map and select the fleet.

>>11484319

I don't know what I'm going to do when my docks are full.

I can't just scrap these destroyer lolis...

>>11484325
It's as easy as hating money, Teitoku.

Finally, this will be a 2handed job

>>11484319
>even from S-ranking boss fights a few times
I wonder whether S ranking really matters, I got Haruna from a B while sometimes I don't get anything from S ranking bosses (I have more than enough free space).
>>11484325
Hate money.

>>11484345
How much money do I have to hate?

>>11484345
It's mostly still a factor to luck/rng, official answers did quote that it had an affect, but to what extent, none was stated. Grades' mainly taken into account for exp % atm.

So are we being shifted to the /a/ board instead of /jp?

>>11484350
$10 per 10 spaces.

>>11484354

no. /vg/, maybe, but we rarely chat about the 4koma which is the only /a/ related thing until the anime or the manga adaptation are out.

If possible I would stay away from /a/.

Posters telling us to fuck off somewhere else are terrorists trying to break our discussion up.

>>11484388
At least all these carriers are being put to good use.

>>11484395
Just ignore them. Until the mods decreed that we pack up and go, we stay. Let's just behave ourselves and not be obnoxious about it.

Have a Hiei day.

>>11484354
It wouldn't make sense to discuss the game on /a/. Any KanColle discussion on /a/ would just be about the anime or any of the manga series, "which girl is best" waifu wars, and things like that. If we are going to be shoved elsewhere, /vg/ would make more sense. It would be a daily general thread over there, if we were to discuss the game.

That said, you guys are really overreacting the whole "it's becoming mainstream" thing. Sure, (western) interest in KanColle has shot up in the past few days, especially after the anime announce (pic related), but it's eventually going to die down again, slowly but steadily. There's the whole translation barrier, plus a lot of people not being able to figure out how to play the game from outside Japan.

I predict that the hype will die down, and we can have business as usual.

>>11484411
>That said, you guys are really overreacting the whole "it's becoming mainstream" thing
I must have missed this.

>>11484414
for the last few threads, there's always one or two autists who keep complaining and going "STOP SPAMMING THESE THREADS, GO TO /a/" etc etc. as soon as each thread is made.

WHY RNG GOD, WHY?

also, i'd really like it if they changed the beaver/squirrel into pic related.

>>11484417
They've been around for longer than that, not to mention I don't see how that has a direct relationship with us "overreacting" to the game becoming mainstream.

>>11484423
The idea apparently is that if something is mainstream amongst the western community, it belongs in /a/. Something along those lines, at least.

You might not be overreacting, but I think a loud, vocal minority are making a big deal out of this, when it really should be nothing of concern.

>>11484433
Yeah, I don't even feel like responding to them anymore and just let them be. Silly people will find themselves silly if no one pays any heed to them I guess.

That aside, can't wait for Musashi. And nuts, I havn't even cleared most of my expeditions.

>>11484440
I have not even started on the 80 hours and 40 hours expedition.

>>11484420
>also, i'd really like it if they changed the beaver/squirrel into pic related.
Lady Luck/RNG God is punishing you for this heresy.

Do you think Akizuki and Agano are going to be part of the event too?

So I tried to make my first few battleships and ended up making Kongo, Yamashiro and Mutsu. Is there actually any major difference between ship girls of the same class or should you basically just go for whoever tickles your fancy?

>>11484324
oh whoops.. thanks for the tip.

>>11484455
The difference among BBs are not quite apparent, except for OP-ed Yamato. Nagato-class is more superior among others, but Mutsu's luck might erase her stat advantage.

Anyway, almost level 70 and I still haven't completed the 1st page. Fuck.

>>11484455
Damn, you're a lucky bastard. Generally, if by same class, you mean sisters like Kongou class, etc, no, there's no difference at all, except for a few ships; check the wiki for details. If you're asking about battleship in the sense Yamashirou, Mutsu and Kongou are BB, yes, they have marginal differences; Nagato class are better.

>>11484433
I guess what I meant to say is that I don't understand why you are addressing "us" when it's the non-Kancolle players who are the ones making those posts. Whatever, though, we can just ignore them as we've been doing and just behave/keep ourselves in/to this thread.

>>11484420
Try stopping with greentexting and maybe the RNG goddess will be more kind towards you.

>>11484455
In terms of sheer firepower, Yamato-class is the best with Nagato-class close behind. Kongou-class fast battleships are good if you want to compose a fast fleet (which supposedly gives evasion bonus, which I haven't really noticed when I tried them). Battlecarriers are nice since they have high detection (recon) stat, so they are useful if you're trying to save bauxite by not using carriers.

>>11484455
Well, just take a look at this:
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/EliteBB
And the like the other anon said: you're a lucky bastard; I'm level 59 and I don't have a single Nagato class.

Yeah, basically if you just want to shoot ships, ANY battleship will do just fine. Yamato is a confirmed BB-slayer but almost nobody has her except on Server#1.

>>11484494
Most of them are from server 1 though. That said, Hopefully, they will make Yamato a drop in the next event.

>>11484499
Is it almost confirmed that her sister will come from the next event?

>>11484503
Musashi? Perhaps. 1st November was the date she was launched, so chances of the event happening around that time is pretty high. Ready your buckets and bauxite, admirals.

>dat American English

>>11484533
Is that supposed to be "American"? I'm not a native speaker but it just sounds like the usual Engrish to me.

>>11484277
Didn't work. Apparently only the ship construction is glitched. Repair and Exploration timers work fine. And using the flamethrower while in the resource payment window makes the timer appear, but it goes by really fast.

>>11484533
She seems to say "lohv lettrrrr" in American English, but "tii taiymu" in Japanese English...?

>>11484526
Don't include the "q" in the URL when posting >NO THANK YOU links.

>>11484538
It might not be perfect, but they're trying to go for an American "feel". It's the way they colour their "r" ending consonants.

As an Australian, I say "laav lettah", but Americans say it as "luhrv leddrrr" or something.

>>11484538
>>11484543
Yes, to this native American-English speaker.

Her r's are rhotic, for one thing.

Secondly, Brits often drop with the "t" sound. "Love le'ah". Shit: "shi'": it's bizarre for her to pronounce the t so hard.

I'm not sure what Aussies say, like >>11484552 ; I'd guess "le'ah".

>>11484556
This is what I mean:

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1gLBPk6aK88

"love letter. repair. tea time."

>>11484564
Gosh.

>>11484455
You lucky bastard. All I've ended up was 1 Mutsu and a ton of heavy cruisers. 1 BB out of 10 tries, it hurts.

I always thought she's just playing as the stereotypical gaijin.

>>11484552
>>11484556
I see, but personally I think that they weren't specifically aiming at an American pronunciation, probably it just happens that because of higher exposure American English is almost Standard English for many non native speakers.

>>11484607
Welp. Australian underwear? Why?

What does she have to do with Australia?

>>11484612
We've been over this. The Union Jack alone doesn't work well for bikinis.

>>11484612
Artist can't differentiate the flags apparently. Give him a break.

>>11484612
The consensus in previous thread was that the Union Jack doesn't make for a good bikini design.

Kaga! At long last (lv. 59) I got her, I'm really happy! Now I lack Hiryu for the quest but Kaga, Akagi and the Kongo sisters were something akin to my dream fleet, so I'm more than satisfied for the time being.

>>11484660
Congratulations. Treat her well and she will be bombing cunts left and right in no time.

PSA from The Admiralty

Make sure to put one ship only in your 1st fleet before going out from game. Ship with highest level is most recommended to help other admirals.

>Anti air cruiser second remodel

That's gotta be Maya, right?

>>11484660
Congratulations! Please take good care of her.

>>11484679
Could be her, since her remodel is unusually early (Lvl 18) compared to her sisters.

>>11484679
Is it specifically CA?

>>11484696
The post from the previous thread just said "cruiser". Are there any light cruisers with anti-air specialty? As far as I know, Maya has a pretty high anti-air stat compared to other CAs.

>>11484696
I think either CA or CL, but Maya has the highest AA stat among other CAs while no one has exceptional AA stat in CL.

It's justifiable too, since currently she's still outclassed be BBs in AA stat.

Question about practice: is this "normal"? All the enemies were several levels higher than me, usually the last three have the same level or am I dreaming things?
>>11484696
Good question... I'm not that anon but somehow I was also assuming it was a CA.
>>11484676
>>11484688
I will! Her 45 aircrafts slot is screaming "torpedo carnage"!

>>11484722
Probably because of your rank. Though strange, since I'm almost 10 level higher but my rank is lower than yours.

Are you clearing bosses and/or maps?

>>11484722
In practice mode, they pick your last three rivals from your neighbors on monthly ranking which reset today, that's why the roster is a bit unbalanced now.
It'll be normalized by time.

>>11484733
How the hell are you still lieutenant?

>>11484746
Thanks for the explanation.

>>11484750
I don't know, honestly. Do I need to beat bosses to move to higher rank?

>>11484758
Yes actually. You get T-level exp for completing stages, especially through the boss node.

>>11484785
I see. Does any boss give that point, or only in certain maps?

>>11484722
I remember someone on the previous thread claiming that enemy practice fleet had a handicap or sort; I think it's something along the line restarting stats.

>>11484851
Yeah, they have 1 "star" worth of stats reduced.

>>11484811
All maps do, but it is strongly map-dependent.

2-2 seems to have the best returns, since it has a considerable chance to throw you straight into the boss.

what is Yuubari good for?

>>11484882
She's only CL that has four weapon slots.
Too squishy for serious use though.

>>11484545
Pls respond, this bug of mine defeats the purpose of the game being a countdown simulator if I can't see the timer.

>>11484897
We're not your support, better call DMM instead.

>>11484882
Nothing? I like her design though and I recently remodelled her, I was planning to try giving her an anti-aircraft role, something like:
20.3cm main cannon
12.7cm high angle gun
12cmx30 rocket launchers
type 21 radar
but it's not like you can't find better ships for this role, Yubari deserves a buff of some kind imo, but maybe I'm just biased by the fact that I like her but I can't use her as much as I would like to..

>>11484905
I like her too, but the extra equipment slot doesn't make up for the weaker stats she has compared to top CLs like Kuma or Hyper Isuzu.

Unless they buff her HP or armor cap, she'll forever be just a flavor pick. Wont stop me from using her as part of my daily quest fleet though.

Thank you, RNG goddess. I'm sorry for all the stuff I've said about you.

If you learn Yuubari's story, you'll understand why she is as is now.
I like her character too and hope she may get a buff, but like Furutaka class or bad luck sisters, some ships have their backgrounds and reasons to be low stats.

>>11484924
>If you learn Yuubari's story, you'll understand why she is as is now.
What are you referring to? I'm not expert of this topic but I can't find anything about specific design issues, did she share the same bad torpedo placement of the Furutaka class? Anyway her speed was comparable to other ships with higher in-game evasion, at least that stat looks rather conspicuous to me.

>>11484533
>SHIT
This pleases America.

>>11484941
IIRC, she was an experimental design cramming on armaments on a smaller, lower armoured hull, which reflects on her lower HP, lower armour stat and lower evasion stats.

I think I found my new wallpaper.

So, remodeled destroyer tomorrow?

I've been trying the recipe for submarines for days and I still can't get my submarine loli... I keep getting heavy cruisers.

Is she really that hard to get?

>>11485090
I heard Yukikaze/Shimakaze recipes yield submarines as well. If you are having bad luck with it, grind 2-3. I got mine from a boss drop there.

>>11485087
No. New server tomorrow.

>>11485090
More like the recipe covers a lot of other ships as well.
If you want i168, I recommend 3-3-1 camp.

>>11484568
That was how it went for me too when I started. All my early CA attempts got me just 1 Maya, so I tried BBs instead and got 2 Mogamis, Mutsu, then 2 more Mayas. Thanks to all the duplicates I was stuck with 1 BB and 2 CAs for a while. I didn't get another BB until Yamashiro as a drop from 2-2.

At least it worked out well that my first CA would turn out to be the most useful, although I had no idea at the time. By the time I actually realized Maya had a 20 higher AA cap than the others she was already by far my highest level CA anyway.

I'm not sure if they would be giving her a second remodel since she already has the high AA, they might be giving some other average cruiser a remodel that raises AA cap, like they already did with Isuzu.

>>11484882
She has lower fuel consumption than other CLs before remodel (but higher ammo consumption), I put her on the expedition 5 and 9 teams. If I remodel her though then she really becomes useless, as she then uses just as much fuel and way more ammo.

isn't there something wrong with KTKM ASW cap on english wiki ? Mine is 91 and far, far away from this value.

So how do events work? What is it I need buckets and bauxite for?

Why no Shinano guys? Her launch date is in October tho...

>tfw an enemy ship crits one of your favorite daughterus to one health on the first attack

shh shh you're okay now ;-;

Why are radars popular on BBs? My BBs never miss except in pvp, and I tried a type 32 radar and it didn't seem to affect damage. Does it affect crit chance or give some great benefit I'm overlooking?

>>11485223
Accuracy

Time for another jaunt in 2-4 to watch Soryu get crit to 1 health and sit in another 5 hour repair again. It's painful enough hearing her cry of anguish as it has to be among the hardest to hear.

>>11485223
>my BBs never miss except in pvp

Where the fuck are you fighting? I get to enjoy watching my Kongous whiff at destroyers and flagship CLs/CAs while ignoring the CVs and BBs all the time, and this is with radar on some of them too.

>>11485223
Because I'm actually trying to hit things in 3-4 and 4-4?

>>11485235
>5 hours
After a successful run of 5-2 just now, Mutsu had been pinged down to 74/90 HP, and now needs over 4 hours to repair.

A failed run of 5-1 recently nearly saw my first day+ repair time after Kaga got critted down to 2 HP and needed 23 hours of repair if I didn't bucket.

>>11485252
If it's that long I would bucket it frankly. I hate these in-between of 3-6 hours because I could use downtime for resources since I'm a compulsive builder.
I'm just glad I'm not at that point yet though, and frankly trying to save buckets too for future events so its harder still to justify their use in most repairs.

Was there any requirement for last event map / expedition support fleet, besides being over a certain % win rate in sortie ?
I'm still at 3-4 and 4-4, and haven't done any long, A/S rank expedition at all, since I focus on low resource usage and buckets saving..

>>11485223
It's also fine for "easy" farm spot like 3-2-1 since it's a pain to miss and have a change to get your sub critted by a flag CL to 40m+ repair time.

>>11485236
>>11485242

I'm running 4-3 (compass still hasn't sent me to boss despite 2CAs in fleet). Is 4-4 a huge jump in enemy evasion?

Is bauxite that necessary for events? I can stockpile 20k fuel, ammo and steel before maintenance, but I've been running low (3000) on fuel because of 5-2 farming. Would it be fine if I just went 6 BBs or do I really need carriers?

>>11485280
Low on bauxite, sorry.

>>11485261
Well yeah that was an automatic bucket. Even if I don't need the ship right away I can't afford to have dock space tied up for that long. It's getting pretty bad now, I used to be able to slow repair ships in the yellow, now I'm sometimes tempted to use a bucket when they haven't even reached the yellow yet.

At least maps with compass requirements of weaker ships help alleviate some of the repair issues. That last run, flagship Zuihou was the only one below 50% so I just wait 3 hours for her. The most frustrating part is when all 6 ships are pinged by CLs and DDs and need hours of repair but none of them are worth a bucket.

>>11485184

Wow people weren't kidding about bauxite suddenly just vanishing if you're not paying attention.

Is there some kind of trick to getting to the boss node at 2-3? Everytime I'm at the green node before the highlighted red node, the compass keeps making me go to the northern most node.

Am I doing something wrong or is it rng?

>>11485354
RNG. I farm 2-3 from time to time for Hiryuu and with 3 BB 2 CV 1 KTKM-sama, I get to the boss about half to 2/3 of the times.

This guy is the best, using my favorite 2 heavy cruisers. (they were also good for 680 xp, only opponent I have without a full fleet).

>>11484750
I'm level 77 and still there, one of my opponents is lvl 84 with a Yamato and same rank.

>>11485354
wikiwiki says something about having a BB in your fleet makes it "easy to get the boss" (compass-wise) but it's just that vague statement, no detailed %s or anything like some of the higher level maps have.

Darn, they ought to cave in and release the three sizes of all girls already. I wanted to see how well the displacement of a given ship could predict the cup size of the corresponding shipdaughter, but between different artists, back-turned sprites, form-concealing clothes, an arbitrary breast size scale (RJ is 0, Atago is 100 and everyone else falls in between, then you use a Touhou character sorter-like system to rank girls by chest size and work from there) and personal bias for certain ships/classes, it turned out to be a fool's errand.

For whatever it's worth, here's the graph. Destroyers are grouped by class because they otherwise form a gigantic ink blot to the left, and there are also a couple of predictions on ships mentioned in previous threads (Plus Tokiwa, since I want to see a minelayer in this game and she is as good a fit as any. Tokiwa is also a former armored cruiser that had been serving since the turn of the century, and has a rather low displacement compared to the battlecruisers that served her role in WWII, so she is clearly set to be a flat-chested elder sister-type character. There aren't enough of these in any media, and it really is a shame.) I guess it at least shows that some light cruisers are disproportionally busty, while some CAs are terribly unlucky in the breast size department. Also, the upcoming Akizuki-class DDs might end up rivaling Yubari in size, which I certainly hope will prompt Arekishi to join in and do a CG set on them.

I realize that I probably forgot to use full displacements, ignored blatantly obvious breast size disparities or done something equally careless for some of these ships. My apologies in advance.

>>11485354
There aren't any hard requirements, but apparently a battleship might make it easier.

>>11485632
Interesting graph, thanks. Ushio should have her own place on the graph.

Poor RJ

>>11485632
>>11485664
This. Look at this displacement.

>>11485632
Is this based off of Chitose/Chiyoda's initial form (breast size, not displacement) or what ? Because lvl 50 I'd say they're possibly bigger than Atago

>>11485632
>Furutaka more stacked than Kako and I-58
W-what? When did that happen? I thought they were about the same?

Typesetter bro let me know if you lost the pages I posted last night.

>>11485632
Interesting chart. What I don't get why people cared so much about Prince of Wales and Repulse compared to King George V and Warspite of the Royal Navy.

Daily dose http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21524483

>>11485738
I just checked Pixiv when bust measurements were in doubt and I couldn't get the damaged images, so many of the size judgements are fairly wonky. I-58, Kako and Furutaka are about the same size, though, it's just that Kako's bust size was considerably underestimated. Again, I'm sorry.

It would be much more convenient if official size measurements were released, since the displacements of all ships are well-known both before and after their modernizations. It would then be trivial to just match the official measurements up with displacement, service age, total length or any other possible indicator of bust size.

>>11485694
As-crafted images were used, mostly because they are easier to get, and maximum displacements were used because there were certain attempts to get around the Washington Naval Treaty by making heavy cruisers that were nominally below 10,000 tons in standard displacement but easily hit 3,000 tons over that in reality, so using standard displacement rather underestimates the might of these ships.

>>11485785

You know, everyone always makes fun of RJ for being flat, but based on what you can see in-game, I'd say Wakaba might be the flattest of all. When damaged, her flat chest is completely exposed (except for strategic nipple covering) and she literally looks like a boy.

But then Wakaba is one of the least-cared-about kanmusu in the game, other than a handful of pics portraying her as a masochist because of her line when she gets damaged. Although her sister Hatsushimo has it even worse, not even one full page on pixiv.

>>11485831
Nobody wants a son but everyone wants ship daughters.

>>11485826
Well done. I'll get the rest of the pages translate probably later today or tomorrow.

Will people on /a/ continue to only discuss Shimakaze throughout the show, and ignore the other good girls?

>>11485866
you can expect waifu wars

>>11485866
No, it will be like Strike Witches, where every girl has their own fanbase and be fighting over trivial things with each other all day everyday.

>>11485866
On the contrary, hopefully it will make people stop focusing only on Shimakaze as they actually become aware of other girls. Same deal with how fanart on pixiv got a lot more diverse as more and more artists started actually playing the game and getting their personal favorites instead of just bandwagoning Shimakaze because all the popular artists were drawing her.

I just saw another artist today saying Choukai is his favorite (there was already one other with nothing but Choukai on his account), that always makes me happy.

Is Akagi a good secretary for crafting? In the last two days I got only seaplanes and silly one/two star aircrafts, was it just bad luck?

>>11485866
I've seen them all. Shes the most popular for a reason.

>>11485904
Lolicon being mainstream since forever? I find her annoying honestly, squirrel is much better.

So, just started yesterday, and I got my first fleet filled up already with Fubuki, Shigure, Tatsuta, Tenryuu, Naka, and Ashigara. Am I set for World 1 or should I build up some more?

Pretty new to kancolle but i wanted to ask, should i use the API link to play the game or is it better to just connect normally with the VPN and play like that?

>>11485908
Thats not lolicon anon. Most of them are in that range too anyway.

>>11485910
Everything loads faster when you aren't being slowed down by the VPN, but you can't rename you fleet via flash player, and I don't think you can buy from the shop, but that doesn't really matter much.

>>11485920
You can turn off the VPN as soon as you're logged in, so being throttled by it isn't really an issue.

>>11485920
You can turn off the VPN as soon as you're logged into the game, so being throttled by it isn't really an issue.

Of course, if you refresh though, you'll have to reactivate your VPN to get back in.

>>11485921
What do you mean? Can you turn it off after the game loads and still be able to play without having to use the API link?

>>11485906
You can take on 1-1 through 1-3 without incident, but focus more on expeditions, PvP and crafting for now. Take it easy and don't risk any of your shipdaughters, there is no large incentive to clear levels rapidly. PvP will readily give you more than sufficient experience, and you will need to craft CVs and BBs sooner or later, so you may as well try it now.

>>11485925
Yes, that's right. I think it's just the website that blocks foreign IPs, and not the flash app itself.

Well, regardless, I've done it before. The only thing is sometimes I've gotten popups that say I should refresh, but nothing really happens if you just dismiss those, and I've been able to continue playing normally.

>>11485928
Got it. I'm running low on fuel anyways, since I was trying to craft a battleship (guessing by the timer, I guess another heavy cruiser is coming.)

I should try PVP soon, since I already got expeditions unlocked. For PVP, I only lose resources, right? There's no risk to my shipdaughters?

>>11485935
There's no actual damage at all, you only lose fuel and ammo.

>>11485935
No risk whatsoever. Kind admirals will leave only their highest level ship for you to wail on, potentially awarding you very nice amounts of experience.

Even if you fail to craft battleships yourself, the heavy cruisers you get will be tough enough to get you to the second world, where a couple of nice battleships may drop. But do beware that you will start facing aircraft carriers and Ru-class battleships yourself. While only the flagship in 2-4 is notorious for her tendency to ruin fledgling admirals' days, it is nonetheless advised that you do not take unnecessary risks.

After so long and at level 50 after countless of 2-2 grinding. I finally got her!

My Kongou sisters collection are now complete. I can finally get the 4th fleet slot open. Today is a good day, thank you RNG!

In your inventory, what do the development tools do? It's not anywhere on the wiki actually saying what they do.

>>11485973
You will require them when crafting ships or items. Ships will always require one development material, while items will only consume one when an item is successfully crafted.

They are obtained in such numbers from daily quests that you will rarely find yourself in shortage.

>>11485902
It's most likely that only the type of the secretary matters. Personally, though, Akagi has been good for me. I think all three of my Ryuusei Kai were crafted by her.

>>11485973
There really isn't? Well, they're the consumable items that allow you to build ships and equipment in the first place.

That's one of the most basic things though, I'd be surprised if it really wasn't somewhere on there.

Yesterday I wanted Kitakami and now I suddenly have three.

The RNG goddesses are strange.

>>11485982
>>11485983
Oh well shit now I feel dumb because I could never figure out what that top right counter was for. It's not on the wiki either.

The actual inventory page is just an image and doesn't have any info.

>>11485984
I want a kitakami but im not having much luck with the RNG gods.

I tried to craft a battleship too but only got two heavy cruisers instead.

>>11485983
The wiki has nothing about development materials, i figured it out by myself though when someone told me that the red text in the bottom meant "You dont have enough materials"

Dat Kancolle domination.

>>11486005
> Teitoku no Natsuyasumi
Still waiting to get a copy. orz

>6 Hour Build Time.
God damn I'm just trying to build a simple CV for quests. Last time I got Mutsu instead now I get this. I guess the RNG loves me, except I can't get Akatsuki at all.

Got her as my first battleship, really wanted one of the kongo sisters so the RNG must be being nice to me.
I'll try getting a kongou later when im higher leveled and have more resources

That's nice, we don't need screencaps. We know what they look like.

>>11485785
Historical significance in the sense that they marked the beginning of the end for an era.

For those of you with subs, how do you use them in your fleet?

Just got myself I-168 and I love the extremely short repair time, but she gets hit to red on the first fight of every sortie since everything targets her. Her stats, especially evasion, are really low, so she seems to be a floating bullet sponge.

On the other hand, when I see her in an enemy teitoku's fleet I cry because a lvl 1 I-168 will dodge all my DD/CL's attacks like it's nothing.

Half of my team is in the yellow. Do I dare 2-4 final boss node? 2 BB, 2 CV, 1 DD and KTKM. Mid 30's.

>>11486126
Wow, aren't you bitter. Did the RNG mistress screw you over?

>>11486190
If the kanmusu didn't have any fatigue built-up before the sortie, you may as well try it. Just don't go into night battle.

>>11486183
Put her as training sparing. Sparing as in, put her as flagship and let those enemies aim her, leaving the rest of your fleet untouched. Very effective for 3-2 and 3-3 grinding.

I don't think subs are important for map clearing. Maybe when she reached level 50, she could be more important, but that's a painful journey.

>>11486199
No, it means we're going to run out of the 150 image upload limit much faster because you want to post all of your accomplishments here. Please remember that you're not the only one using the board and this isn't your kancolle blog.

>>11486199
Not that anon, and I'm not sure he's bitter, but the point is that we only have so many images for the limit on every thread, and most of the time blogging with screencaps tend to suck a lot of it up.

>>11486267
Not everyone has seen or remembers some of these pictures. If we run out of pictures we run out of pictures. Big deal.

If you took out all the Kancolle blogging and dumb questions out of these threads they would slow by 90%.

>>11486273
>If you took out all the Kancolle blogging and dumb questions out of these threads they would slow by 90%.

That would be sweet.

>>11486273
Wow, aren't you a selfish prick. Why the fuck do we need to see or remember your achievements? When we get our own rare ships just quietly celebrate to yourself or make a passing mention in a post, no need to shove it in everyone's face and suck up the 150 image limit when there are 700 posts to go around.

>If you took out all the Kancolle blogging and dumb questions out of these threads they would slow by 90%.

/jp/ has never been a fast board to begin with, fuck off with your "muh 4chan is not moving fast enough better make some spam" attitude. Without the blogshit and retard questions maybe we actually have time to discuss and analyze game mechanics.

>>11486273
No need to wave your dick in everyone's faces.

Most of us already have a full set of kongou. We're not interested in your hiei.

>>11486273
>Big deal

Yes, it is a big deal. We regularly run out of space to post pictures on this thread, just as we want to post something more interesting than your shiny new ships. Lurk more and maybe you'll realize how big a problem that is.

>>11486287
>Wow, aren't you a selfish prick.
Who shit in your cheerios this morning?

>Why the fuck do we need to see or remember your achievements?
Nobody needs to see or remember anything in these threads.

>/jp/ has never been a fast board to begin with, fuck off with your "muh 4chan is not moving fast enough better make some spam" attitude. Without the blogshit and retard questions maybe we actually have time to discuss and analyze game mechanics.
Posting images that are relevant to your post is only considered spam by retards. There's not much to discuss about mechanics that hasn't already been said somewhere. The wikiwiki formation page has more than we'd ever be able to put together through experimentation.

>>11486287
>>11486292
Don't be cruel, admiral senpai-tachi. It's normal to celebrate things, especially for new admirals.

I really missed my old time few weeks ago when getting new ship makes me thrilled, eventhough it's only CA or CL. Now even Kongou-class from 3-2 and 3-3 won't make me flinched.

Hmm, been failing expedition 3 lately. I do have 3 ships in my second fleet, so it must be RNG screwing with me.

>>11486322
You need 4 ships.

>>11486303
>Nobody needs to see or remember anything in these threads.
>>11486273
>Not everyone has seen or remembers some of these pictures.

Pray tell what is the purpose of your actions?

>>11486328
Just because it's not necessary doesn't mean you can't do it. Nobody needs to read the retarded argument we're having right now, but we're having it anyway.

>>11486303
>Posting images that are relevant to your post is only considered spam by retards.

It's spam when we have a small image limit but you insist on showing your your dick. Shut up or fuck off.

>>11486322
There's no RNG on success/fail expedition.
You're doing something wrong.

>>11486267
Let me clarify this. I wasn't even that anon.

You may as well go play in solitude without browsing this thread, then, seeing as how the game mechanics were mostly discussed to death already.

As for posting too many images, do some basic math and you whiners will realize that we are safely below the 150/700 ratio right now.

>>11486331
And just because you can do it doesn't mean you have to, especially when, like I said, we're working on a tight image limit and we don't need to see your achievements.

We're not even having an argument, it's just you justifying your dick-waving.

>>11486333
No, it's not spam just because you don't like it. Tell me, how many of the images in this thread really, really need to be herre? And the image limit for the board is actually 24915.

>>11486326
4 ships, huh? Crap, I have a full fleet. Might need to switch out my destroyers for cruisers.
>>11486336
Ah, I see.

>>11486341
I haven't posted a single image in this thread. I just think you're being a retard.

Why do my ships have a brown sad face on the side of their portraits?

>>11486322
>>11486326
No, he needs lv.3 ship as flagship, expedition 3 requires only 3 ships 3x3x3, they did it on purpose probably.

And congratulations to the teitoku-tachi who are acting like dicks because of image limit.

>>11486348
6 ships is fine, too, which means either you miss the level requirement or ship type requirement.

Wow, thread quality sure has fallen when I wake up this morning.

Somebody really needs to shove a FAQ into the OP.

Clearly this thread needs a quota for how many pics can be posted of blog material, how many pics can be general kawaii uguu waifu fawning, and how many pics can be for the translation of non-H doujinshi.

I think we're all trying a little too hard here.

>>11486336
i did the same expedition twice but the second time it failed. do you need full fuel because i didn't refuel the second time when it has 2/3 bar

>>11486354
Please read the wiki.

>>11486359
We have an FAQ on the wiki, but it can probably go in the OP if we want to risk be slightly redundant: http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:_FAQ

Obviously, highlight it, all-caps it, make it so posters who have no idea how to look for information for themselves catch sight of it.Draw Shimakaze's cameltoe on it, I dunno.

>>11486372
1. Refuel them
2. Try again
3. if successful, then fuelling is the issue.
4. If not, then it's your lineup.

Why don't you refuel them each time they come back anyway? It's not hard. Unless you're out of fuel, in that case wait a few hours, refuel your girls, and then send them out.

You wouldn't want to go to war hungry, would you?

>>11486372
You need refill fuels before every expedition or it may fail.
I can confirm some damage scratches are fine tho.

Something like this, next time, maybe?

>If you have a dumb question it's probably answered here: http://pastebin.com/Q3D9zqyz

>>11486543
That's neat, could be good for addition in OP.

Anyway, I remember seeing lottery guide in last thread, maybe that can be added in image pastebin.

>>11486543
Just merge all the links FAQ all into a pastebin

That really makes more sense to me

No point in using that slightly outdated pastebin anymore

Wikis and stuff count as information and can just go inside the pastebin

So is there any downside to logging in with the api link?

>>11486612
You have to use VPN to hate money and purchasing cash items. And you can't change fleet name while using API.

>>11486627
So, no downside otherwise?

>>11486633
Correct.

>>11486633
No other major difference, so pretty much yes.

>>11486612
gb2/a/

>>11486612
That ought to be added to the FAQ.

>>11486651
They didn't answer me though.

>>11486658
Because you didn't post a picture of Shima-chan, baka.

>>11486543
S: I can't sortie.
A: You probably have 100 ships. You will need to free up space by modernization or scrapping.

This answer may be outdated, as you can sortie with a full list of ships. A red warning will show up to tell you you won't be able to gain any new ships though. If you can't sortie I think the only reason would be one of the ships is currently undergoing repairs.

>>11485826
I can translate this one also afterward if you want. I like this one quite a bit too.
http://exhentai.org/g/634009/3c64542838/

This may be a dumb question but in the api link guide, it says start the game as usual. Does that mean actually getting into a server or do you just need to be at the server selection screen?

>>11486739

>>11486737
Those compass-chans are adorable.

>>11486363
There's no need quota. Just be mindful and remember to delete images to make way for other people that will be posting like it have been done before. Like now we are around 230+ posts and 36 images here. Still a while more before image limit is reached.

I guess no more celebratory posts and fun image postings. Time to be dicks to other admirals now.

>>11486756

>>11486739
You have to first have the playable account, which means, you need to get into the server at first place.

What type of weapon you can put into a submarine ?

>>11486758
I know right? I'd take the X3 one home.

>>11486737
Time for Raiden actions.

>>11486766
>Time to be dicks to other admirals now.
It was about time, I was almost starting to think that we can be nice to each other on the internet.
>>11486782
Torpedoes, midget subs, sonars, turbines and damage control equipments. They gain a pre-emptive attack akin to midget subs' one at level 10.

>>11486012
Japanon here
I have extra
You want?

>>11486808
>Extra
How about scanning it?

>>11486810
Do you realise that it's been already scanned?
http://g.e-hentai.org/g/631931/8e7d1b4727/
That anon wants a hard copy because some people prefer it like that, I guess.

>>11486799
Sharks, sharks everywhere.

>>11486824
Oh.

Neat.

>>11486824
So that's how you draw Shimakaze's butt.

What's different about the Vita version?

>>11486832
Oh, I left out a phrase for the bottom left part. It should be "It's because of your appearance which is scaring all the kindergarten students, that's why you have less appearance/panels."

What are transport ships and supply ships? The wiki doesn't tell me what they are.

>>11486857

>>11486874
Exactly what they sound like. You find them as enemies starting from 2-1 map. The only supply ship you get lets you replenish your fleet's fatigue. It's more an item than an actual ship. It's one time use, and they are really rare, so I recommend you to save it if you ever get your hand on one.

>>11486737
You're killing me. Whatever, it looks clean and easy to typeset and I can probably stop going overboard with the fonts. I'm up for it.

>>11482282

I find it funny that Japanese hate impure sluts but fawn over the most sluttiest kanmusu ever.

>>11486912
Killing you or your heart?

>>11486808
The anon that you're replying to here. Yes I'd love to buy it off of you. Please send me an email.

>>11486920
In a minute, both.

>>11482329

>>11486920

>>11482367
Because try as I might to deny it Kongou is adorable and worth all the effort.

>>11482433
Also was this supposed to be red tea or black?

>>11482542
I stuck to the engrish because I honestly don't know that she can speak any better. Also I don't really get the context of the small text by Haruna.

>>11486942
Both works, but properly translated it's black tea. In Chinese/Asian culture, we call black tea "red tea". Should I be doing the bio pages? Those things are never fun to translate.

>>11486963
which leads to a horrible misunderstanding. the stuff I see in my local store called "red tea" doesn't involve tea at all, and it's not even a passable substitute. *retch*

>>11482569
I wish Sendai were this cute in game.

>>11486963
I feel like they sometimes offer good insight like with the relationship between Inazuma and Miyuki but I'm a completionist and it's not like you have to.

>>11482671
You have no clue how many times I yawned doing this page. I can't stop doing it now.

>>11482756
Poor Fubuki. You'll always be the main character in my heart. Oh. who am I kidding.

>>11486977
Alright I'll do the two bio so we have a good closure to the second manga/let you upload it to exh, and I'll call it a day there. I'll finish the rest of this manga later.

I would like to take the time to inform you that the hat is covering her face.

>>11486994
It's sort of weird to see artists draw Fubuki without a ponytail (which was well-hidden for most part).

>>11487002

>>11486995

>>11487002
Nothing of value was lost.

Is there any compilation yet for the manga?

>>11487013
>林明美
Lin Minmay from Macross?

>>11487017
Probably. I never watched Macross but the story had some reference to it previously, so it's likely. In Chinese, that name is pronounced close if not exactly Lin Minmay.

>>11487014
http://exhentai.org/g/634668/759306b833/
This one is the first one. The second one is almost done.

>>11487053
Thanks alot!

>>11486936
You might want to go back to fix top right speech. Akagi's texts is really getting covered up by Kongo's hair.

>>11487092
If it weren't for you I would never have noticed that mistake of Kongou being the 3rd Battlecruiser in the Kongou class.

>>11487092
I'll give you three reasons why it should stay that way: That bubble is tiny and not built for horizontal text, it looks like Kongou didn't even wait for her to finish, and the most important one, it's cute. Though now that you mention it this really wasn't all that hard to do. This actually looks way better; I don't know why I didn't even consider it.

>>11487110
ＳＨＩＴ, now everyone knows my horrible copy and paste secret.

Which expeditions are good to play over for a new player, 3 and 5?

Only the flagship needs to be the specified level in expeditions, right? Could I fill the rest of the fleet with destroyers that are under-leveled?

>>11487191
5 for oil and ammo, 2 for buckets, 3 for iron, 8 for bauxite. Choose depending on your needs.

>>11487262
Do people actually go on expeditions for buckets? I thought they just naturally added up over time since you get them from everything.

Granted, I'm stuck at the 2-4 wall so I have no idea what horrors await me later.

>>11487276
Ever since I got my 4th fleet it has been doing exped 2 non stop for buckets.

>>11487276
You can't have enough buckets.

>>11487262
Since when did 8 gave bauxite?

>>11487326
Shit, sorry, I mean 6.

Why does a plane and a red banner fly past my screen saying something something DOWN everytime I sortie?

>>11487348
Recon failed, your accuracy/evasion is decreased.

Recon activates whenever you've got planes

>>11487355
Nope, you'll have to wait until there's a lottery.

i've registered.now got this,can I play the game now?

>>11487355

>>11487354
You mean my fleet's accuracy/evasion got worse than base accuracy/evasion just because I put a heavy cruiser into the fleet?

>>11487276
Save buckets for the next event. I assure you will be needing plenty. I have 340 buckets and I don't feel it's enough. Going to try to get 500 before November 1. I only allow myself to use at most 4 buckets a day, and only on my big ships that require more than 3 hours to repair.

>>11487357
>>11487358
the next lottery is today,right?how do i enter the lottery?

What are seaplanes for? They don't seem to launch planes in battle like light carriers do.

>>11487368
Seaplanes do only two things: Scouting, and attacking submarines. If your enemy has no submarine, then seaplanes don't do anything in battle and the ship will default to using her guns.

>>11487368
The most common ones are pretty much only for stat boosts and recon (which is also about stat boosts).

Rarer ones can participate in the bombing phase too. Dunno if it's worth it though.

>>11487361
No, because you have a plane equipped AND the recon failed.

>>11487361
Red msg says "down" but actually it's not.
Your aim/evade stays same as base stats.
When recon phase success you'll get aim/evade buff during the combat instead.

>>11487367
Go to the same game page, you'll be greeted with lottery cat.

Man, need a high quality version of this so I can put it as my phone's ringtone

CAN NEVER GET SICK OF IT

Remodelling auto unequips right, but not modernizing?

Alright, FAQ guy here. Lottery information, pastebin information, VPN versus API information, visual aids on resources, fuel, developement tools, rapid craft tools, buckets, etc, AA mechanics, radar/turbine mechanics, modernisation. What else should we populate the FAQ with? Having my midterms now, so just spam all the requests here so I could refer it in the archive.

>>11487388
Yes. if you modernise all the equipments that come with it is lost. Remodelling just unequip them.

Well crap, it's gonna be hard to get an Ooi and Kitakami through crafting...

>>11487391
>VPN versus API information
What's this for?

Don't play this game when you're exahusted, guys, or else you'd get ideas like "hey, I should craft 400/100/600/30 until Nagato shows up"

>Check development
>Expect yet another Jintsu for my clone army

Aww, yeah. Expedition time.

>>11487401
Because apparently people are asking the advantage of using the API link over the VPN. It's better to get the obvious out.

>>11487408
Ah I see.
>Lottery information, pastebin information, VPN versus API information, visual aids on resources, fuel, developement tools, rapid craft tools, buckets, etc, AA mechanics, radar/turbine mechanics, modernisation

You have all those done already? Anything I could help with?

http://en.rocketnews24.com/2013/10/01/sit-back-with-a-relaxing-cup-of-tea/

>>11487415
Not yet, I'm combining the mini-faq pastebin info >>11486543 had provided; it contains some nice information. The AA mechanics/modernisation would probably be done much later because I am still unsure of it; perhaps someone can dump a massive exposition on it or I could search through the archive; it's linked anyway.

>>11487427
Remember the correction that >>11486700 made.

If it makes sense I suggest that you should separate the "general information" and "simple questions" pastebins.

Oh god I lucked out and got the ships to unlock fleet 3. This makes up for my Chitose sinking.

>>11487435
I'm updating the wiki FAQ. Mini-faqs are by all means welcome, I will try to assimilate them in the wiki in due time (there are editors here who lurk here, I suppose).

I need some advice of setting up DDs for 3-2.

Is 10mm/torpedo/turbine fine? I have 4 +10 turbine, the other 2 is +6.

All my DDs range between lvl 30 to 50. Do I have to grind more?

>>11487472
I did it with 20s, it's more about lucky evasions.

>>11487439
By the way, should we add a section for night battle? I can provide what I know (in the line of "I'm tired of your shit so I'm gonna unleash triple 46cm of hell on you."). Please advise.

Night battle.
- All ships' capabilities (including your enemy's) are enhanced in night battle. Ships also gain the ability to launched multiple attacks at once. DD, CA and CL generally get generous boost to their stats during this phase.
- Carriers can't participate during night battles but if your enemy can (if you're not in practice match).
- Attack turns are based on your fleet order (Does formation affect this?) usually(?) starting from your flagship. If a ship is unable to attack, her turn will be skipped.

I need more information on cut-ins though.

>>11487472
3-2 is more about luck. The one who went yellow have 2 +6 turbines, while the others have one +10.

>>11487472
Why not just go and try.
As above anon says, it's more about luck.
You'll have to pray twice, enemy composition of the node before boss, and the compass after that.

Personally I'd recommend repair kit or unused ships decoy instead of turbines if you ask me.

Do you need to hate money to unlock the two extra repair docks ?

>>11487507
Yes you do, unfortunately. It costs 1000 yen to get a key item that unlocks one dock of your choice, so 2000 yen for both repairs, and 4000 if you want to unlock the construction ones, too.

How to 3-2:

1. Last formation for all nodes until boss
2. Do not go into night battle until the boss. You can get D and Cs on the battles and still progress.
3. Did any of your ships get damaged to orange by the node before the boss? Consider returning and trying again later. Or move on if you have a repair item on them or want to take the risk (personally, I wait until red before worrying). By later, I really mean later so you don't have to deal with fatigue. Put them at the dock and make a sandwich or something.
4. First formation on the boss node to hopefully do enough damage at night battle.
5. Give destroyers ice cream

>>11487512
What upgrade which is best for money to buy?

BTW Just started out yesterday and this game feels like im@s mobage draining out money for those who hate it.

>>11487525
Probably repair docks, I don't even use construction docks much, even if I have to use it, there's fast repair.

seaplanes do also opening bombing.

How do I get fuel really quickly in this game? Expedition 3 is still too slow.

>>11487525
repair docks, ship spaces, repair goddess.
Also furniture.

>>11487525
I've not paid any money yet and I'm a month in already. As what others had said, repair docks are probably the best deal (they are probably earning their money by doing this). Others are just fluff.

>>11487541
You scrap all of your ships.

>>11487541
Hate money, buy fuel.

Or wait for ex5

>>11487525
+10 base expansion is the best you can get, repair docks are nice at the start and middle game but eventually you will be swimming in buckets.

>>11487525
Pretty much >>11487542. However, if you're actually spending on the resources, you should stop immediately as it's completely not worth it. There's also the ice cream, but that's debatable as it mainly removes fatigue. Still a nice gesture to your ships though.

As a side note, I think the ship space cap is now 170 (70 space expansion items).

>>11487554
Deafult is still 100 though which is sad because I can't bare the modernise/scrap distinct ships.

>>11487545
ex5?

>>11487562
Expedition 5. It yields the highest hourly rate of fuel, assuming you run it continuously.

Refer to the second chart on http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Expedition for more information on the rest of them. Oh, and don't forget to cross reference with the third chart to make sure you're sending a team that can complete it, too.

>>11487561
I hope they increase the default cap even if a little bit as they add more ships.

Just aced through 4-4 for the first time. Are latter/final run (much) harder ? I'm thinking about downgrading my fleet.

Bueno...

>>11487488
>>11487474
I can't seem to get ANY turbines from the recipe that's supposed to give them + 46cm cannons, I hate my bad luck.

>>11487593
IMHO aiming for turbine with 46cm is a waste of resource and tools.

>>11487593
I've got 46cms and turbines from 100/260/250/10 runs. Make some sacrifices to the RNG goddess.

>>11487570
I don't think they will.
Docks, expansions, plus some extras are what they are expecting us non p2w players may pay.

>>11487600
Agreed.

Anyone know which map Jintsu can drop?

Please tell me I purchase the correct key for Repair Docks Expansion, because I still cant unlock it.

>>11487600
unless if you're looking for both of them, I guess?

>>11487620
1-3/1-2/1-4/2-1 and my fucking docks. Jintsu, please. Stop appearing.

>>11487623
Check your inventory?

>>11487623
Buy two, you pansy. The remaining slot will mock you for the rest of your life.

I now have eight Kongous.

Please, stop.

>>11487627
Where did you get this info? If it isn't from experience, please let me know.

>>11487647
Hmm...maybe THE WIKI.

Which you should check before asking.

>>11487623

To expand on >>11487628, You'll have to go to your inventory and click on the right arrow to go to the cash shop items page. You'll then have to remove the key from there, and then you can use it.

>>11487628
Thanks for pointing it out, didn't know the inventory have a different tab for premium items

>>11487630
Relax baby, more love coming, but not soon.

>>11487623
Found in the archive. Someone should replace the hating money picture in pastebin with this one.

>>11487649
Specifically, the japanese wiki. I don't think the Eng wiki had updated the sortie drop table It will be a huge pain the ass though, unless you guys want to read Yamashiro as 'Mountain Castle.'

>>11487649
Where?

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Guardian_Office_waters

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Jintsu

>>11487658
Japanese wikis. If you can't navigate them, use a translation aid.

Just realised that using API link doesn't make expeditions autoexpire like using the browser does. Gotta change pages for it to expire, godammit.

Anyone knows a good way to set up a timer to track all the expeditions going on?

>>11487682
There's a few programs, like KanColleWindow, and some others that were posted a thread or two ago, as well as a few browser plugins that adds a window with settable timers. Unfortunately, I don't have the links on-hand.

>>11487685
I'll try searching around for this KanColleWindow, but whenever you have the information, do you mind posting again? Much appreciated.

>>11487698
Check the last thread, I think there's one timer with OCR that auto-detect the countdown.

What fleet comp did you guys use for clearing 4-3?

Hyper Isuzu has been a godsend for this map but I still can't seem to get to the boss node in one piece.

Should I switch up my carriers into BBs or just try again and hope the RNG gods smile upon me?

>>11487703
The author also links two timers by other people at the bottom of the page.

>>11487698
Oh right. KanColleWindow is a sort of a standalone specialized browser for playing KanColle. As such, you'll need to log in each time, if you want to play the game through it. I just ignore that part and use its timer window though.

Anyway, I found one of the posts, http://archive.foolz.us/jp/thread/11349334/#11356139

After googling a bit, I also found these:
http://miku39.jp/blog/wp/?p=1652
http://relog.xii.jp/mt5r/2013/08/post-349.html

I know there was more, but I'd rather not go through the archives at the moment as I'm about to sleep.

>>11487723
>>11487726
>>11487703

Thanks alot guys, I'll look through the last thread archives and mess around.

>>11487682
I just open tabs of these

http://www.online-stopwatch.com/classroom-timers/

>>11487722
I'm trying to clear 4-3 as well. From the jap wiki, having 2 CA grants easier passage to the boss but the final node is still completely random but I've not tried it yet as I'm still leveling my CA.

>>11487730 here again.

Most of these aren't standalone are they? Like, requiring me to login DMM and stuff to use it instead of just click and go?

>>11487740
Pretty much any of them that attempts to play the game standalone requires you to log in through a specialized browser. The rest should work regardless if you're logged in or not. Of course, as I said KCW's timer window works even if you're not logged in.

>>11487742
Er, right I mis-read your question, sorry. YEah, most of them are probably standalone. I haven't tested them myself though.

>>11487746
KanColleWindow looks so tasty, but requiring VPN to run it constantly is kinda downer.

To that one admiral who decided to put a single level 70 Hyper Isuzu as his/her fleet, I salute you.

Kinda need one that doesn't need me to stay connected to VPN/Proxy, thanks nonetheless

>>11487775
it just need a glance of the kancolle homescreen to get the info and calculate the countdown. no need to stay connected.

Went there and got Shimakaze lvl 51 and Inazuma lvl 34 blasted to red. I gather that I should just repair and try until I get lucky?

>>11487817
Yeah, destroyers dont have huge repair times anyway. And also try to use the 5th formation. The defense formation is useless when all your ships are paper thin.

>>11487521
Wont the first formation vs boss = possible paper DDs sinking?

Or it is all or nothing?

>>11487821
I suppose if your fleet has not fatigue when they are sortied and are barely damaged by the time you reach the boss, it's extremely unlikely that your ship will sink.

>>11487821
You need firepower to sink boss fleet, which is only composed of cruisers and supply ship.

Is there a specific time when daily quests reset?

>>11487789
Will give it a try, what I'v done so far is.

Doubleclick the logbook.jar
Connect to vpn
Login dmm, connect to kancolle
Do the connect to localhost, 8888 thingy for connection proxy in google chrome

Is that all? Or am I missing something since I can't get it to work

>>11487882
JST 5AM

>>11487887
Thank you.

>>11487479
Not sure if this anon is still here, but here's what I've gleaned from JP wikiwiki, they have two things on night battle cut-ins.

Everybody is buffed. Everybody only goes once. Subs always go first, after which your fleet and the enemy fleet will alternate in turn order.

http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%C0%EF%C6%AE%A4%CB%A4%C4%A4%A4%A4%C6#ia0b18c3 for which ones activate

http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%C0%EF%C6%AE%A4%CB%A4%C4%A4%A4%A4%C6#rc13498a for damage

Three guns on your ship will trigger the full broadside cut-in and do a single hit for about double the damage that your firepower stat would do.

Two torps on your ship or sub will trigger the torpedo salvo cut-in and do -two- hits (which for some reason looks like a single hit) for 1.5 times the damage from your torp stat each, which I guess means 3x total since it still looks like a single projectile.

At least one red gun and one torp on your ship will trigger the gun-torp combo and do the same as above but for only 1.3 times per hit.

There are four combinations for the non-cut-in double-attack, you need either 2 red, 1red1yellow, 2 yellow, or 1yellow1blue. These will do normal damage (with buffed night stats) and have a chance to miss for each shot.

All effects do not stack and the highest-power cut-in will always activate should you meet the equipment requirements.

>>11487479
>>11487911
Oh, a couple more notes: The only carriers able to attack at night are (yellow) flagship alien carriers. Any vessel in red damage or damaged down to the red before her turn in night battle will be unable to participate in night battle.

>>11487911
>At least one red gun and one torp on your ship will trigger the gun-torp combo and do the same as above but for only 1.3 times per hit.
Does it say anything about torpedo+high angle gun combo? It's regularly performed by my DDs but I have no idea about the damage multiplier.

Enlighten me in these translation, /jp/.
Phases in day battle (in order):
- (索敵) Recon
- (航空戦) Aerial War
- (制空権) Air Superiority
- (支援艦隊攻撃) Support Fleet Attack
- (開幕雷撃) Initial Torpedo Strike
- (交戦形態) Engagement Form?
- (砲撃戦) Shelling (what's the difference between round 1 and 2?)
- (雷撃戦) Torpedo Strike

any mistake?

>>11487885
do you have the API link? it would be more simple.
if you have it, just:
- Doubleclick the logbook.jar
- set localhost port 8888 as proxy in google chrome
- connect to kancolle via API link

>>11487355
>>11487367
Taking a wild guess from the punctuation, but are you Chinese by any chance?

Noticed that,Chinese people,punctuate like this,all the time.Seen this,on a lot of,websites. Why is this the case?

Are there any specific differences between the 250/30/200/30 and 270/30/330/130 recipes for Shimakaze? Does one have a higher chance at creating a Shimakaze than the other?

>>11487971
Their language font has spacing that comes with every piece of punctuation. Same with Japanese, too.

I've checked the wiki for drop tables, so I know Kongou and Haruna drop off the boss nodes (and I think 1 other) from 2-2 to 2-4, but is there any map that has a higher droprate? Been trying the general BB recipe + farming 2-2 and 2-3 for a day or two, but nothing :/ Running out of fuel and steel doing runs too, even with expedition spam.
