Lol what? Trainwreck? It's in closed beta and performing far better then most games at launch. The game is fantastic.

Fantastic? Well as much as I want to spew my unfilterd opinions on this "masterpice" and your opinion of it I will refrain from it. The game has the same appel as world of warplanes aka NONE! Its a brainless and utterly dull game, with no need for creative thinking or any regards to teamwork. But as we all live in democratic nations I suppose that one can have various opinions on the matter

Right, I'll work of the assumption that you haven't actually played it then. If you think this game doesn't need teamwork you must be a horrible team mate to have.

Veiled insults are still insults btw.

Played it for a number of days after I got a invite by a friend actualy. And I suppose your milage(spelling?) may vary

I'm surprised, since AFAIK no one has been given any invites to hand out, though some streamers were supposed to pass out a few.

I'm guessing EU is pretty bad. I know they were having a hard time getting players for the alpha test.

I think Asia was worst. A friend of mine is currently living in Japan and he got into the Closed Beta for the Asia Region. I got an extra code and gave it to him, he logged in for the first time and (almost) shouted over TeamSpeak "WHAT THE HELL?! 5000 PLAYERS?!" Yeah, Asian servers were bad

Instead of making blanket statements maybe you can say why you don't like it? Watching lots of footage of many big Ytubers and they seem to think they have a winner, or are you working for gaijin entertainment?

Well, preordering stuff now includes CBT access.

Well, I got into the CBT via a regular invite (I guess they sent out another wave?)

Must say, I'm having a lot of fun, and I quite enjoy how ship can hit above their tier much easier than tanks can in WoT. A Kawachi can and will feth up a Kongo if the Kongo isn't paying attention, and my Myogi has made a business of killing high tier cruisers.

Destroyes are insane, however. Almost impossible to hit if they keep moving, difficult to spot and torpedos absolutely wreck face. I totally get the game design choices behind this (cruisers being well suited to killing most destroyers - Japanese ones alittle less so being torpedo focused themselves, lack the raw gunnery firepower until higher tiers to engage DDs as reliably) but it's kind of funny seeing how, while historically the whole idea of torpedo destroyers fell out of favour as air power become dominant, and thus quick, heavy-AA armed destroyers became king, in-game, the Japanese doctrine of torpedos out the wazoo works much better.

Been watching this game for some time. Didn't like their planes game much but have tanks for days in WOT. Ships seems good, it's no kantai collection, but it will do.

One has fleet combat and growth and stuff, the other is "Imma ship!" arcade fun time. Both are good. A merger? Now that's what I call port side.

I wouldn't say a travesty. It's not big surprise a number of WoW players are also KanColle players, or because of KanColle they got interested in naval warfare and are now interested in WoW.

Heck, in one of the Closed Beta Surveys they sent, they had one question asking what other games you play and one of the options was "Kantai Collection".

Hell, I love big ships with big cannons, but it was mostly in a sci-fi enviornment. I learnt and got interested in learning more about naval warfare thanks to KanColle.

Oh, and of course, BURNING LOVE!

What did I just google?
Are there really waships or is it another moeblob thing?

It's the usual moe BS.

The girls are the "warships". They inherit the spirits of the sunk battleships and face the Abyssals. Elements of the ships are designed into the girl's uniform.

Yes, it makes no sense. But it's fun.

But the Kongou is awesome. Both in KanColle and in WoW. So it's such a major win for me.



~Poi.

It is fun if you into the whole moe thing, to me it is primarily a way to sell ship models by associating them with scantily clothed young girls, makes me think of that other show strike witches.

I like the new Dev diary. Immunity zones are not currently in game, and Kitakami has not had Long Lances for a long time. Love OLD interviews.

I got locked into a point blank battleship duel that saw both of us explode.



It was grand.

Why yes, I could do that if I thougth it would make a difference And just because people online like it dose not mean they are rigth. And by the gods no, Id never work for those folks

Okay, ignore list it is then. If you have nothing to add to a conversation why bother?

Tried it this weekend, got a good amount of hours in.

I played with my brother, we rolled together and focused targets / covered eachother / AA Guns closer together is effective.

And I have to say it was a lot of fun. I think i'm hooked, I like it a lot more then I did world of tanks, or any of the Gajin games.


There can be a lot of teamwork, but you can't expect that if your In 100% pugs. Voice Chat + People you know or just people who are competent = a lot better.

To be fair, that argument works for every team based game. But yeah, me and purple were running around in our Tier 5 destroyers yesterday and we got some fantastic games in.

We were running Battleships, its great when both land 10k+ Dmg hits at once on another battleship.


Yea, it can be said about any team based game..

Hence i usually try to find people to play with on a voice chat.

Ah trondheim just trolling then.

Saw the latest mingles with jingles and he mentioned a mod used for cheating in WOW heard of it?

Yes, I have been hearing about it but I didn't think it was that bad.

It kinda explains how I'm hit over 20kms away with consistent citadel hits. No really, there's the "HOLY gak, THAT WAS LUCKY YOU SON OF A BITCH" and then there's the consistent battering I sometimes get.

It's rare to see accusation in chat, but they are here.

Ah well, the game is still mighty fun and after reading those patch notes I'm incredibly pumped up! American Battleships! OH YES!

Just read all that, wow, I mean wow, those changes, now that's an update!

So, what with my ship and premium time pre-orders, I had a lot of gold in the beta...

Sooo....

I bought a Kitakami.

I hope you like torpedos.
Spoilered for size.

Ah Soladrin, nice to see you are in the "EXPRESS TORPEDO DELIVERY" service

I have now done close to 300 games.

I'm a fething God of Death and Destruction when I'm playing with my sweet Kongo or destroyers at lower tiers.

I fething love this game too much and it's only the CBT. Damn, I need that new patch ASAP, I want to get my hands on the USA's Battleships to compare with the Japanese.

Yeah, I've done about 200 battles myself and am absolutely loving it. My preference of ship however is very much settled on Japanese destroyers, second probably being carriers. I've gotten to Tier 6 on both the US and Japanese cruiser lines and while fun, it's just not for me. got a kongo too but I just can't stand that rate of fire.

I'm a sneaky torpedo delivery man at heart.

Think I'll try American destroyers today to see if they are worth a damn.

Also, the russian pre-order destroyer is hilarious. Decent torpedos and 130mm guns. I've killed Aoba's one on one with that thing.
