got a feel the events are not Newbie friendly, gravity gun ftw.

to many experienced teitoku: any tips for kancolle newbies? (aside the guides from kancolle wiki)
*
Don't trust the wiki completely, take it with a gain of salt and just use it as a guideline and tune it for your needs.

I would say E1 should be easy enough for new players becuz of Iona is just that OP. (maybe try either all SS fleet but I use Iona + 5 BB)

E2
It was a mix result cuz of the pre-boss node was annoying as hell. I have better luck with South(Maya) node than North(Kirishima) node but my fren with lower level fleet of ships than me had better luck with preboss node with Kirishima and cleared E2 much more cost efficient than me (I used IONA, TAKAO, 2BB, 2CLT)

E3
The wiki says don't use Iona, Takao and Haruharu together cuz of the high repair and refueling cost. I didnt do that but I cleared the map with my last 4K fuel (I used, IONA, TAKO, HARUNA, BB, 2CLT)


What advice would I give?
Gather as much resource and buckets for the event so you can reset your fleet fast for the next sortie.
I also find myself that my Fog ships deals more dmg to enemy Fog than even my best equid normal ships. Hence why, I bring all of them with me
I dont think my method were the most effective use of resource. I burn thru ~25K of each resource + >100buckets (75% on E2 thou sweat.gif)
So try it slowly? since the boss health doesnt regen and I feel like the game might adjust the difficulty based on your HQ level
Last one, I use Line Ahead when I think I can wipe the entire fleet or I want eliminate the enemy like a boss node
I use Diamond formation when I know the node might be a CV/CVL heavy fleet only
Line Abreast is use when I want to deal with SS with my ASW fleet or when the goal is to survive the node to move to the next node, not kill the enemy of that node
I never go into Night Combat unless I have a specific reason to, like boss node with a high probability of winning

p/s: Praying to RNG fairies also helps

You're a horrible teitoku and you should feel bad. You should rethink what you have done

try not to spend too much on LSC during the event as you need those resource if you intend to clear the event.

> Tenryu
Isn't it Sendai? Her first time was hard to find, same goes to Kongou

Also, you can use those Fog ships to help you clear some of the difficult to clear maps like 2-4

As far as I know only deutschland ship daughters are teased
https://twitter.com/KanColle_STAFF/status/411657848838316033

Iowa class enter to service during the final years of the war so the inexperience during the war might knock some points down but still serving so long after the war might increase its points with remodels
But not all ship's luck are based on their class, another ship would be Yorktown-class Enterprise that participated the more major battles against IJN than any other US ships and survived to tell the tale
or USS Washington that fought almost every major battle and sunk Kirishima without losing any of her crewmembers

But alas, being a jp game, it might face a similar fate as ep12 of Arpeggio, US ships instantly gets evaporated whistling.gif

These are some of the LSC reports with different sample sizes
user posted image

being on different server doesnt mean much except the difficulty of monthly top500 rankings (example, a few days ago the top1 in Rabual manage to get 400points while my server Tawi-Tawi was abt 200+) Older server has more experience teitokus with better rosters. The devs did think of aloowing server hoping when the friend/social system was ever going to be implemented. But as of now, PvP-ing is with other teitokus of the same server only but allowing server hoping might undermine the leaderboards since it is server by server basic and not global ranking

Actually someone managed to get past E-4 with a lvl 30 BB flagship using 5 lvl 1 DD sacrificial ship method to sink Henderson-chan....but this method was so cruel that it even caught devs attention on twitter that they might implement a death counter for every ship daughter sunk....that maybe probably punishes that teitoku with perhaps unfavorable RNG rolls for high death counters.

Here is an image link as to what I mean....this guy used two BBs(high lvl) and the other 4 ships are low level 1 DDs.

...I know...even my high lvl fleet is not spared from Gravity canon too....its pretty much RNG. LOL. My other friend two lvl 98 Kongou-class BBs got reduced from full health to red in a single gravity canon shot....ahaha, no kidding.

But my condolences you couldn't get passed E-3....as you mean E-3 of the November event, right?
Did you managed to complete this December collab event?
*
I also felt guilty of that for experimenting that tactical when resource were so scarce
in the end, I couldn't take it and aborted

As for RNG, I would say. RNG requires you show your devotion. Never doubt RNG

...actually I wouldn't say I wasn't guilty of using suicide methods on E-4 to chip the boss bar when my resources and importantly my buckets was running low too....but I abandoned it halfway as well. But many little clones DDs were sacrificied already.....but to keep contain my guilt on the war crimes commited to get a war crime submarine chan...  sad.gif I keep telling myself

Exactly the same situation as I was and also tell myself that whenever I sortie with her cry.gif
But I only done so for E4 alone but completely discontinue the method in E5

Nice, the statistic taken from Wiki.jp?? then again is all about RNG isnt it.

Its still part RNG and part recipe but RNG is still RNG.
somewhere in the depths of /jp/ not sure abt the exact source

QUOTE(dlwk1988 @ Jan 8 2014, 04:47 PM)
was hoping some buddy system set up where you can have another teitoku/friend flagship to support you in battle.
E-3 as in the ironbottom sound yeah, but wasnt that active that time. Nah the collab event i did not finish it as i feel i cant get pass the last stage for the sub reward, saw the ship stats and instantly discouraged. so abandoned halfway through (again...orz).

A lot ppl played the event maps for the rare ship drops

Using DD as sacrifical is plain mean, how could he do that to his poor daugthership.

QUOTE(Senjou @ Jan 8 2014, 04:54 PM)
...when desperation starts to creep in when you have downed E-4 boss bar to half and could not down the boss bar anymore due to sudden successive unfavorable RNG all of a sudden and boss bar starts to regen back.....resources and buckets running low...and you don't want to feel wasted for all the efforts for nothing.

And that's when some of us turned evil....

ditto. It more out of desperation. In my case, I already reduce the HP bar but last kill must be reduce Henderson-chan's 500HP to 0. But I was out of resource and I was going to be away for the weekend. In the end desperation sets in but RNG hated me and never allow me to finish Henderson-chan off. So, I was away for the weekend and I return back with a fully regen HP bar.

The event still scars me

with a userbase of 1.5million accounts, its bound to happen.
and I have learned that with the correct understanding of the game's internal, old event maps could be accessible.
so its either lazy dev leaving loopholes or damn to haxxor

....yeah, but the amount of normal maps are little and some of us are bored with the current maps. I always living in fear of getting banned....you do know we are already in violation of the terms of condition of DMM by using VPN to play right? Hacking just makes you more noticeable to getting banned. Recently in twitter, they did mentioned something regarding this.....not indirectly...but still.

I already splash quite an amount of hate money which I have never done before....not even when there was WoW back then. Hopefully my hate money is my shield as a privilege Teitoku  sweat.gif

Also, lol, bug....should I exploit it? I still haven't got my Zuikaku.... ;-;

yes, I'm quite aware of our situation as players playing outside of JP. But this is more of a distribution problem than a exploitation of the game to gain an unsafe advantage. I think I saw some1 mention some guy manage to put a torp bombers on a BBV or getting Yamato on a server which started way after the August event and b4 LSC or remodel lv1 ship

I have also devoid of myself from using free VPN and throw some hate money as well. In fact, I just thrown somemore after the maintenance to get more slots. So I have every intention to keep my account as safe as possible.

How about your normal daily crafts? I got all my CV from first normal shipbuilding b4 finding them in sorties. Right now, I'm not very enthusiastic in finding any of the LSC exclusive ships

Well quite accurate enough. Kiso was a light cruiser but got converted into a CLT although historically wise she never got converted into a CLT even though she was planned to be converted into a CLT alongside Ooi and Kitakami but it didn't materialized. But in kancolle, Kiso did get the CLT upgrade but at least there was some historical backing to it.
A bit of historical proof about what I am saying.

Meanwhile,
Naka has no historical backing whatsoever so a CLT conversion would be a total surprise. I didn't know Hibiki was of (idol?) status!!? Maybe I haven't been lurking around too much...can anyone shed a light into this lol?
*
I think he meant Hibiki 2nd remodel to Verniy. Which is based on historical fact that Hibiki was converted to a Soviet ship after the war

Or am I misunderstanding something here??? tongue.gif

QUOTE(Senjou @ Jan 9 2014, 04:39 PM)
Torpedo Light cruisers are damn OP. Historically wise, Naka was never remodeled into a torpedo light cruiser....but if she does somehow, we will have another OP CLT in our ranks and it will be the fleet idol, Supa Naka Chan Dayo lolol.

its KTKTM and Ooi thats truly OP, Kiso is nerf compare to the those 2

QUOTE(Senjou @ Jan 9 2014, 07:14 PM)
Ah, Verny. But is Verniy really of idol status meh? Or am I missing something here too lol?

...but Kiso has better anti air capabilities compared to the other two and seems more all rounded. Her torpedos stat aren't that bad and still capable of one shotting almost anything unless I am missing something here? I really am not too sure Kiso is that nerf actually besides the reduced torpedo stats....but increased AA.

The reason CLTs are OP is because of their strong opening torpedo attack, very decent firepower in day battles and their incredible firepower(rivaling those of BBs and CAs) in night battles.
*
No, I don't think Verniy had any dialogue that would suggest her as an idol or any specific characteristic of that matter. So, I'm also confuse abit... maybe????

You're right. Overall Kiso would be a more rounded ship but battle performance wise, KTKM and Ooi would be better as well as converted to CLT at lvl10
For me, the performance of CLT has completely devastated my CA fleet.
