For Warship Girls probably Hipper, Belfast or Tirpitz. Hipper mainly because of her modified art, Belfast because I'm from Northern Ireland (Belfast being the capital and the ship was built here) and the fact she has the second highest luck in the game (45 if married (40 base), with the highest being Sukhbaatar with 85 if married (50 base, gets +30 luck from her skill if it is at level 3)), Tirpitz because she was the first Battleship I received in game despite her rarity (0.25% chance with the the standard Battleship recipe), has a nice skill when modified, and is an otaku, though her poor anti-air is annoying.

 

For KanColle probably Asashio, Kako, and Haruna. Asashio mainly because Asashio's birthday (the day the ship was launched) is the same as mine and when I received her I just felt a connection, so she is going to be the first ship I get to Kai Ni. Kako, strangely is because of Furutaka doujin and how she acts in them, plus she has probably my favourite Kai Ni art in KanColle. Haruna is one of the ships that got me into KanColle (though the rest are Kongou, Hiei, and Kirishima) so she a favourite. Despite my love of Warspite I honestly have no proper reason she is my one of my favourites, though bias probably plays a big part, so Haruna takes her place her as battleship.

 

 

Warship Girls has skills for modified ships, for example Tirpitz's skill debuffs the enemy fleet's accuracy and evasion by 4/6/8 depending on skill level, so you could work of those, though not all ships have a modification. Other than that I don't have an idea, mainly for KanColle ships. Though you could look at Weiss Schwartz cards for KanColle and try and adapt them.

Alright, I'll consider it. (Still trying to decide if I should get KC deck or a LL deck)

What is that?

[cr47t]

A few questions;

 

What is kai ni? (asked above too)

 

What is Iowa like in personality and ship gameplay? (Wondering for if I get KC's main game which I dont think I will for a while b/c language problem, but maybe)

 

Where should I look for more safe for work Iowa pics in case I feel a need to keep up the image theme? (Please don't quote this.)

 

Would you mention me?

 

Should I take a break from posting on this AMA?

Kai Ni is usually the second upgrade of a ship in KanColle, with some exceptions mainly Chitose and Chiyoda, in which it is their 5th upgrage (Base --> Kai --> A --> Carrier --> Carrier Kai --> Carrier Kai Ni).

 

Gameplay wise I don't really know. I didn't really start playing until after the event Iowa was a reward for finished. Personality wise here is a video of her qoutes

[spoiler=Video]

 

 

Art websites like pixiv or safebooru would be your safest bet, though Pixiv does have 18+ art on it so do browse at your own risk.

 

If you mean in my about me, maybe. I need to update it but I might just remove mentions until later on.

 

If you want. I don't really mind who asks questions.

Alright, glad to know about the 5th question.

 

Just to check, before I watch the video;

-Is it in English (or has English subtitles)? (It would be impossible for me to understand it otherwise.)

-How long is it?

There is English, but mainly in Japanese. No subtitles, unless you count poorly translated captions which YouTube provides. Video is just over 6 minutes long.

Alright. Will try to remember that when I get back from my trip.

 

One question before I go, though; Who/what's your new avi, and where's it from?

You Watanabe from Love Live Sunshine.

[cr47t]

I'm available again.

 

And again, about the video; before I watch, is there an alternate way(s) of answering my question about what Iowa's personality and gameplay mechanics are? (Preferably, a method that I can understand - English is currently my only language.)

 

EDIT: Also, where can I find safe Iowa pics to expand the current image theme? (Where would you reccomend?) :P

The video is just really a compilation of Iowa's quotes which someone has synced to an animation of Iowa, so you can go to Iowa's wiki page which has a list of all her quotes with their English translation.

 

As I said previously I have no idea how Iowa is game play wise as I missed the event she was a reward for.

 

For SFW pics probably just google images or safebuuro. I don't really go out of my way to search images so those are where I would look.

[Azure Wolf]

Well let's bump, considering I should probably sleep but eh I'm trying to decide if I should get child Rodney in the current Warship Girls event or just focus on getting costumes (Christmas Eugen and Nevada, and initial design Fubuki (mod)).

[cr47t]

How can I gain legal access to KC (the game) and any events?

 

When's the next Iowa event? (I'm considering getting the game and unlocking her)

Go to DMM and create an account. After that you'll need a proxy server set up so download a program like Softether. Going to the wiki will then give you a tutorial around the game along with quest lists and so on.

 

I'm not sure when the next event is as the developers haven't given any info. Whether Iowa will be a map reward or drop is uncertain really until the next event. That being said Iowa would probably drop on Hard so you'd need quite a lot of resources and instant repair buckets, along with fairly high level ships so it could be hard when beginning.

Ok. But what is DMM?

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

Just Google DMM Kancolle :P

 

Sorry for taking the question Azure, now, to make up for it.

What's the best and worst thing about Kancolle?

And what's your favorite music genre?

[Azure Wolf]

No problem.

 

Anyway best thing would probably be the ship personalities. Having Voice Actors for the ships allows me to understand the ship more and see how I would interact with each ship so I can try and put myself in fictional situations.

Worst, aside from the RNG as that is just the worst thing there is, would probably be how the battles are presented. In KanColle you just see the heads of the ships in the battle screen and full art when an individual ship attacks, comparing to Warship Girls which gives you chibi versions on the battle screens and you can actually see the ships attack each other. Then expeditions, having to check the wiki to check if my fleet has the right composition every time I go to do one does get annoying.

 

I'm not really sure. Most likely J-Pop (idol songs and other stuff) and J-Rock (Scandal, though they music does have western infulence.) Also listen to occasional violin covers of anime/vocaloid songs, and listen to KanColle mixes.

[cr47t]

Given your answer to best and worst of KC, would you reccomend I try it? Or would you rather reccomend WG? (Also, what is RNG?)

 

Also, for a site like, say, Zerochan that forbids image hotlinking, do you think posting a link to the image would be OK?

Try KanColle if you want. It is fun, despite the game having a lot of salt later on. Warship Girls plays similarly but has some ups and downs. Pluses being that you see the requirements for expeditions and overall the interface is good. Negatives being that it can be a grind getting stuff to modify your ships, light and heavy cruisers especially, as the mission to get them is the hardest one, and the 1:25:00 timer.

Now we reach RNG, or Random Number Generator, the most annoying thing in both games (along with desire detector syndrome, but the two are similar). Construction relies heavily on it, along with drops, alone the RNG is fine, however developers seem to have found a way to get the RNG to find out what you want so it can promptly ignore it. For example in KanColle I was trying to get Haruna as soon as I could get her from a map drop (I had tried construction before hand leading to the construction of her sisters a couple of times over) go forward a month or two still nothing. My fleet is different than usually (Kongou as my flagship rather than Asashio or Mutsu), and I do my daily construction. I finally get Haruna.

 

Now Warship Girls. This is the one which has been screwing me over big time with RNG. Number 1 Prinz Eugen. Farming for Eugen for ages and constantly reducing my fuel to near 0 trying to get her, end up getting her as a login bonus. Number 2 Gaum. The problem with Gaum is that she is a battle cruiser and as such uses the Battleship recipe in construction, the problem is this recipe also allows the construction of Light cruisers and heavy cruisers, leading to numerous unneeded Takao class ships (which have the construction time of 1:25:00), along with duplicate battleships (multiple Ise class ships and more amazingly a second Tirpitz). This ended yesterday though when ship dropped when trying to clear world 3-4, which leads onto number 3. Anti-air. For some reason my Anti-air battle cruisers (Alaska and Gaum) for some reason hate attacking enemy planes. I put any other ship in there (like Bismarck and Tirpitz, who have terrible AA) they will happily attack planes. Alaska and Gaum nope, despite that being their main job. Then there is Air superiority, 3 carriers against 3 carriers in PvP, I get air superiority. 3 carriers against 1 in a sortie I lose air superiority. Main lesson is always have a carrier outfitted with lots of fighters and at least 1 non carrier ship geared for anti-air.

 

Anyway enough ranting about RNG in stuff. I probably could get more but this post has enough salt. If you're going to be on your phone (Android or iPhone) more than at a computer then Warship Girls. It can take a bit to install initially but most updates don't take long unless you have bad internet. That and if there is emergency maintenance they do gift stuff like extra resources, and more importantly engagement rings. The developers are also giving some ships Live2D which is probably my favourite thing in mobile games. Not many ships have it (don't have any of them myself, except Helena but that requires a costume), but I've seen it in Panzer Waltz (basically KanColle/Warship Girls with tanks), and it is beautiful. Though it does work best with Voice Actors.

Though if your on a computer more KanColle. While there isn't as much diversity with the ships, all ships have a personality and gameplay is the same. The art is also a lot better for most ships, only exceptions for me are Bismarck Eugen, and Akagi. I also feel PvP is handled better I. kanColle. Currently in Warship Girls it can be around once a week that I can find someone who has their fleet at my level (most fleets consist of 6 level 100 ships all modified) so I can't complete a daily quest. While in KanColle you can come along people who you could potentially beat a lot more easily.

 

Anyway that is enough of me blathering on about games focused on ship girls. You could upload the image to a site like Imgur or such then put them image from their to here. Posting a link by itself should be fine as long as there isn't anything else which shows up. I've never been in zerochan so I can't really say much.

...what??

 

Anyway, I've been thinking of adding another person to my image theme -- probably someone from one of the LL series. Is it OK if I PM you about it, Azure, and we can discuss it there?

It was a poem I made randomly after LL Shine episode 11.

 

If you want. Looking into the character would be a good start. There are 18 mains (9 from each), with a few side characters so there are a few options.

Did a better job on the rhyming and writing this time IMO. Good job.

 

Anyway, question; should I find new images for the image theme addition yet?I've found a few already and am discussing them with a mod and don't know when to add to the stack. (I'll also send you the first batch in a bit.)
