For some reason I felt like making a general. Maybe I'll proceed with it before I regret it.

 

Is anyone playing the Fall '15 event?

What's your comp setup?

 

At this moment, I don't think I'm going to start the event until complete notes are posted to the wiki, but I really want to get Graf Zeppelin and Prinz Eugen this time around.

I don't have a lot of Type 3 sonars and I know we're up against the Submarine Hime this time, maybe it would be prudent to craft some more before going in?

Too late. I already have a married ship and I hit HQ 100 recently, lol.

I'm lazy, a casual, don't care for 1st class medals and I'm going to buy some shipgirl expansion before I actually start this season's event.

 

It's actually coming at a really bad time! I have a project due in two weeks, after that is finals, and we have Thanksgiving next week.

Actually you don't have to since it is a flash browser game.

As for it being in Japanese, you can download KCV, which is something like a flash container that pulls data from the game and translates it for you.

 

Back then, you had to participate in the lottery system to get in, but I think there should be a server open that you can just sign up to.

To get access, you only need to edit your browser's cookies.

 

All this and more info are on the Kancolle Wiki. If you have questions after that, I can try to help!

As a veteran with 3 first class medals, I'd be a fool not to participate.

Obligatory >Kancolle >small c meme.

 

With that said, the server in question, Hashirajima, filled up quickly, so it's lottery again. At least that's the case last I checked.

 

 

I didn't start the event until earlier today since I was busy, but for E1 I used 2FBB + 2CA + 2CVL for first fleet and 1CL + 5DD for second fleet. That particular comp's directly listed on the wiki so it's not like it's special or anything.
 

1 BB + 3 CVL is enough for E1. Escort fleet looks legit though.

E4 time. I was a complete retard who didn't know how to read and I pretty much locked all my good ships so I couldn't do E4 medium. Well, there goes the event. Right now I am trying to recover resources because I spent them all looking for Graf and Prinz over the weekend.

post-3227-0-82814300-1449111274_thumb.pn

But I got an Akitsumaru extra and both Shokaku class so I'm not entirely salty yet.

 

I have plenty of ammo left; it's just fuel that I've run out of so far. Right now I am running 1 AV + 1 BB + 4 CV + 1 CL + 1 CA + 2 CLT + 2DD. I wonder if there's a more fuel efficient comp for farming O node.

This is why I wait until I get the fleet compositions of every map I need to get before I start.

 

2 training cruisers + 4 CV(L) (most people use 2 CV 2 CVL for some reason) in main fleet, and 1 CL/2 DD/3 CLT in escort fleet is probably the best fleet to use.

Currently 1000% done with this game.

I've downloaded the English version of that KCV and I intend to try it later tonight sometime. 

 

Is it just PvE or are there PvP things as well? Multiplayer in the case of PvE or is it single player alone?

 

Best boat?

There is no multiplayer although you can see in the UI there is a placeholder for it, but it was never implemented. PvP is the cheapest way to level your ships, and there is no penalty to either side for winning or losing.

 

Best ship is probably Kitakami. Reminder that torpedo cruisers are so broken that they were explicitly forbidden for use during Summer'15's E7.

 

Welcome to hell, by the way.

Finally cleared the event thanks to Shigure, and got my 4th kou medal. Go me.

 

Got Arashi while clearing E5. Graf Zeppelin will have to wait until next event though.

Both English KCVs have problems. Yuubari's build lacks plenty of niceties, and has a lot of bloat i.e. eats up a lot of memory on your computer), and last I heard Gakada's build was still stuck at v3 when KCV's already at v4 (although it does come up with some of its own functions first, before the other builds add them in). I personally prefer using the original Japanese build by Grabacr or the Korean build by FreyYa, both of which have English localisations (not that I use them because I feel rather uncomfortable reading them in English for some reason, so I just use Japanese instead).

 

There is extremely limited PvP, in that you can fight other people's fleets. That's it. Everything else is PvE.

 

Also >boat

So how far have you progressed? Or were you just farming for Graf Zeppelin?

 

Because E7 banned torpedo cruisers, people have been feeding Maruyu to CAs instead. It'll probably be CAs' turn to be banned next, because Tanaka is that much of a troll.

Nah, I just cleared E4 and spent everything on farming Graf. I didn't really care for Hagikaze or Arashi.

Well, your call. Going by past patterns, Hagikaze won't be available for at least 3 more events and you'll probably never get Arashi from A rank again. On the other hand, not only will Graf Zeppelin be available to farm next event, she'll probably be easier to farm then, too.

The event is over!

Watching this helped ease pretty much all the salt I've accumulated during the event.

It's okay, because failure is just success in progress. Kancolle, despite being the way it is, reminds me of this often enough.

At the time, I would have probably replied with "I'd rather ships with good stats rather than trophies," but I'm honestly starting to like them now that they're gone. I've softened up a bit.

Got my 4th medal. It's getting pretty routine at this point.

 

I hope I can keep this up for future events.

>can stand summer 2015 enough to clear it on hard

>quits the game after failing to get Graf Zeppelin after 200 runs

People have failed with more and kept going. I don't know what he was thinking.

 

Also keeping one of each ship is a good habit to have. I make sure to max my ship slots whenever possible.

Something about Graf being able to attack at night and my particular interest in having an all-German fleet of each major ship class.

Did anyone bother farming for the 32 decorations?

Nah, I've pretty much dropped from playing Kancolle during the holidays and time off school; mostly because IIDX is taking my time now.

Oops.

 

The cycle will repeat and I will complain next event about not having x amount of resources.

I still play but lately I've been having an issue with KCV crashing on game launch and I'm too lazy to fix it. I heard it's something having to do with a system update but it's really intermittent so I cannot be sure.

The thing about Graf Zeppelin is, her plane slots suck. Her night damage sucks. She's not worth using.

 

Your loss, I farmed 32 decors at 2-5 in a matter of hours.

 

And 50k resources is enough. Wo is right, and has always been since spring '14.

 

KCV crashing on game launch could have something to do with Windows 10. Also might depend on which build you're using.

Bruh wut. I haven't seen many IIDX cabs since the fall of Arcade Infinity (I'm in SoCal too). Most of my DDR locations have dropped off as well. I'm down to ThrillIt in Orange, Knott's Berry Farm and the McDonald's down the street (I have highscores on all of those machines). I mean there's about 4 other DDR locations I know of but they're in too bad of shape to play on. I know there's a DDR X3 machine at Round 1 in Lakewood but it's too far of a drive for a machine. I don't play Beatmania often enough to be good. But I Dance Maniax (which is equally hard to find now a days).

Sorry for the thread derail.

All the IIDX and SDVX players hang out at R1 since their cabs are the only ones hooked up to the eAmuse network.

Specifically, the PHM location. Sometimes I go to the location in Lakewood or Moreno Valley depending on where I happen to be, although the latter's machine has a bad screen that hasn't been fixed for the longest, so I try to not go there.

 

To keep it topic related, I've been stockpiling recently. After the disaster that was the Winter event, I kinda fell off playing but I find myself doing expeditions consistently again. Apparently devs have decided to add US ships, one of their guns which was a ranking reward. I'm a little excited to be honest, and should go back to grinding my ships again.
