You're right, but I'm willing to bet that there are a large number of players who could have bought the ship, but refused to because it's "not historical" or from "hentai" or some other dumb reason. As such, these people are denied a ship that is actually pretty good and a true representation of both IJN DD lines. Instead these people who prefer "historical" ships are forced to either purchase a destroyer that does not represent either line (Asashio), earn a ship that requires T10 ships in order to unlock at all (Shinonome) or get lucky with a SC/Xmas Crate (Kamikaze/R/Fujin). (Or club T2 seals for minimal captain XP - Tachibana/Lima) Your anger is justified, and I completely agree, but I feel that it's not right for us Asashio-haters to derail yet another thread for us to get our point across. We'll have our time...

Doing some real crazy & insane risky stuff for tactics, why not?
LOZFFVII replied to Yaskaraxx's topic in Off-Topic
I think this guy believes he's some kind of super-hilarious troll, but in reality he isn't. He's just a sad, unfunny fool. There's this other thread where he occasionally posts incoherent arguments and other times he posts a picture of an old lady and starts treating everyone as if he's more mature. He pretends the incoherent stuff is from his little brother and the stuff with the old lady are from his grandmother. It's so sad it's not even funny. Oh, and he seems to have a problem with embedded Youtube videos...something about not clicking on links on webpages. It's the dumbest excuse you could imagine. -
Well, look at it this way: For a long time the IJN line has been devoid of a T8 Premium DD for captain training, and the only two options are a ship that is exclusive for Anime fans and one that is not representative of the line at all. I think I can understand why she gets a lot of hate. Now, now, Rise-chan. We don't want to start another one of those threads. Let's calm down and take a back seat to this, shall we? I totally agree with you, but we must pick our battles, okay? Here, take a seat, have a cuppa.

Which forum members have you seen in random battles?
LOZFFVII replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
I wouldn't say I dominated, the vast majority of my damage was a Grosser Kurfurst who didn't repair the flooding. I don't remember hitting anything else with my torpedoes besides yourself (well, maybe I hit something in the channel between B and C, but I don't recall it). Honestly, it felt like I spent most of that match running away from something... -

20180914_203200_PJSD012-Shimakaze-1943_44_Path_warrior.wowsreplay Just had a match against @rnat, me in Shimakaze, him in Hakuryu. Uploaded a replay just to show off my l33t air-dropped torpedo beats, only a little bit heped by the ally Hakuryu... Was looking like a loss early on, but my team pulled through and we ended up wining! Broke a pretty damn depressing losing streak. Comisserations to Rnat, you tried your darnedest to sink me. -

'Grats! Yeah, this is pretty much my other major personal gripe with AL character designs... Whereas KanColle keeps the majority of the designs pretty conservative and only goes into fanservice for Taiha portraits or special events (such as swimsuits for summer), Azur Lane seems to lean far more into fanservice territory right from the get-go. -

Hmm. I've just had a look at that short trailer and...it looks pretty bad, to be completely honest. Hopefully, that's just early alpha footage and not representative of the final package... I know CH and IF can make some pretty decent games. -

COMPILE HEART and Idea Factory... I guess that explains a lot. Maybe this means we're going to see a western release? Considering IF International exists. -

You're thinking of Arpeggio of Blue Steel, which had a crossover event back when I first started playing. You could earn pseudo-premium ships with camo patterns based on the characters from Arpeggio (ARP ships you may have seen in battles). Sadly, I only got four of them, three Kongou-class and Haguro. Hohohohohohow's it goin, bros? My name is Gooooooootland, and today we're gonna be sinkin Abyssals. WHOOOOOOOOOO! And once again, I feel that KanColle's shipgirl designs are better than Azur Lane's. To be honest though, this is mainly because I am seriously put-off by gag boobs, and aside from Illustrious and Belfast, Nelson(AL)'s boobs are pretty damn gaggy. Not that I have any idea what kind of image I'm supposed to have in my head right now... You're thinking of Azur Lane, they were talking about characters in Kantai Collection. On your second point, I don't know if the card gets double gems, but it's likely it doesn't considering the other options all say something like "double" or "2x" on them (I think they even show "bonus: Xgems"). If you choose to build from "heavy" or "special" build pools you're less likely to get Destroyers, but building from those pools costs more than double what "light" builds does (2 cubes and 1500 coin instead of 1 cube and 600 coin). I have found out you can get bonus items from Akashi (shop catgirl) by patting (tapping) her head up to twice per day. *Nyaa~* I'd like to point out that Max is perhaps a little more popular than her sister, although that could be more to do with her swimsuit coming out first... Speaking of AL, does anyone know of some supersikrit incantation for getting Ping Hai? She's really cute and I want her (and her sister, too, seeing as they power each other up)! -

I never publicly stated it, but I did consider Meastrale or one of Libeccio's other elder sisters to be a candidate. I also considered Vittorio Veneto as being a candidate, seeing as she's either the second of the Littorio-class or the name ship of the Vittorio Veneto-class, with both Littorio and Roma as her younger sisters (depending on if you're from Italy or not). Oof, Jiji, please give your DDs undershirts, they're gonna find Japan's temperate climate to be a bit chilly... She has a more striking appearance, almost as if KanColle is showing off that they got to the Swedish Navy first. It suits her, I think. -
Ranked: Should the "keep your star if you are best in team if you lose" be removed?
LOZFFVII replied to SaintGordon's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, I don't care enough about stats to pay attention to what colours mean what on those websites. I mean, my stats are there for all to see, but more just so I don't get called out on 'hiding my stats' whatever the that's actually supposed to mean. -
If I had to guess, sounds like a couple of things... First of all, there IS a map bug that may just be caused by lower-power computers (I know mine's fairly potato-level) wherein the 'last known position' marker will flash red before the map updates with the enemy ship's new position. Secondly, there's this actual phenominon to do with our brains, I forget what it's called, but it's the same thing as when you look at a clock and the second hand appears to be stuck in position for longer than a second - it's basically just our brains trying to process the new visual information and suffering a 'lag spike' if you will. My theory is you suffered this same 'lag spike' at the exact moment that map bug happened, causing the enemy ship to appear to be in one place and then magically jump to another. It's just a theory, though, a game theory! so we'd probably need to see the replay file to work out exactly what had happened...

Ranked: Should the "keep your star if you are best in team if you lose" be removed?
LOZFFVII replied to SaintGordon's topic in General Discussion
Perhaps I should've made my point a bit clearer... First of all, Orange is the colour your account goes if you continue to do team damage after turning pink. If you turn orange you are banned from playing any mode except co-op until the penalty clears. Currently, there is no such restriction on turning pink. My idea was that, in order to prevent players from going into ranked either frustrated ("That idiot sailed into my torps! I don't deserve to be pink" or "I'm mad at this guy for costing me a star, I'm gonna shoot him") or just to clear a penalty ("damn, pink, huh? Guess I'll just go play ranked, the battles are over quicker and I should clear this quicker") there should be a restriction applied to pink players that stops them from playing 'competitive' game modes - i.e. Ranked and Clan Wars. They would still be able to play Random, Co-op and Scenarios, just not the competitive modes. Also, why would merely 'struggling' in Gearing make you turn orange? You get so frsutrated at your inability to sink enemies you decide to deliberately attack your allies? On topic: I personally agree with those who point out: "If you lose, you lose together as a team." The fact that you get to keep a star if you finish on top of the losing team does nothing but encourage selfish play. Everyone who thinks that you can't make a team with random teammates: why not? Isn't it a show of actual leadership or skill to be able to take a random selection of scrubs and lead them to a victory? -

LOZFFVII replied to SaintGordon's topic in General Discussion
That's comething else WG should consider...Like how going orange forbids you from playing anything other than co-op, perhaps being pink should forbid you from playing ranked battles or clan battles... I mean, sucks for someone who went pink on accident, but it should clear for them in a couple of random battles anyway. EDIT: and I suggest this, despite being someone who accidentally torpedoed an ally Tirpitz in ranked last season. We won that battle anyway, thankfully, and the Tirpitz captain was forgiving in chat. Yeah, I don't particularly care for T10 ranked either. I only have two T10s currently; one is Shimakaze (taking her into ranked is tantamount to declaring "I am a huge noob, please kill me") and the other is Minotaur (which feels like it's getting weaker and weaker with each new T10 being added to the game, but maybe I just suck in her - and yes, I do use radar, btw). I have an idea that might be a more interesting ship tier formula for ranked, but I'd rather start my own thread to ask the forums' opinion there. -

LOZFFVII replied to Kancolle_Kongou's topic in Off-Topic
Absolutely none of the combat you see here is player-controlled. It's all random. The only choices the player has any control of is "pursue into night battle: Y/N" and "retreat from operation: Y/N". That's it. Apart from that it's all menu-based micromanagement. The micromanagement, as others have said before, helps to mitigate some of the RNG, but the game is still mostly RNG with no real gameplay. The shipfu's are still of higher quality than the ones in AL though. Compare Warspite (KC) with Warspite (AL). -

Yeah, we know of Girls Frontline. A couple of the guys here even play it. I wouldn't say they're all that similar, though. Other than having anthropomorphised characters and being developed by a Chinese company. I think GF is more of a strategy RPG while AL is an RPG/Bullet Hell hybrid. ...And KC is an RNG mess. -

@BrigadierRosen Basically, you choose KanColle for the Waifus and you choose AL for the gameplay. Personally, I think KanColle's gameply can be charitably described as "an RNG mess", while at least I can actually play AL. I still come back to KC because I just prefer their character designs over AL's equivalents. (I've made a rant before about how much better KC's Warspite is over AL's) -

The guys above are talking about an event in Kantai Collection (KanColle), which is not available in the west. However, recently a KanColle competitor called Azur Lane (with that spelling) did get an EU iOS store release. A few of us here are playing that, too. -
You can also try gifting Christmas Boxes to your forum friends (or clanmates). I did so last year, in my presents-to-self were an Okhotnik, Molotov, and La Galissoniere. In the return presents from my friends I got Scharnhorst, Alabama, Guilio Cesare and Tirpitz. I mean, none of them are quite as valuable as Kamikaze (although I already had her) but it's still quite the haul.

How is your ranked progression going?
LOZFFVII replied to Ulvesnutepostei's topic in General Discussion
I got to Rank 15 and there I've stayed. I can't seem to keep a star when playing T10 for sh!t. Minotaur was getting me almost constant WLLWLL situations, so I switched to Shimakaze, got one win and didn't bother playing further as I didn't really like going up against so many Stalingrads. Right now, I'm grinding Kitakaze in the hopes I might have Harugumo before rank ends, but that's not likely considering my schedule.
