Arashio Kai Ni / Setsubun 2017 Update

---

1. Setsubun voice lines have been added to the game.
   • 40 new lines have been added, with a total of 150 ships having voice lines for this event.
2. A total of 3 new quests have been added, including 2 time-limited quests for Setsubun:
   • Special Setsubun Quest: Obtain Naval Supremacy!
   • B90 Elite 8th Destroyer Division, Sortie!
   • Furniture fairy/fairies, new furniture (Setsubun Manuscript Desk), and reinforcement expansion slot(s) can be obtained from these quests.
   • As usual, prerequisite quests may need to be completed in order to trigger the new quests.
3. Changes to the PvP System:
   • The matching system for PvP has been updated. There are now 3 different options:
     • (New)演習艦隊【第一群】 Fleet Group (No.1)
       • New system #1: Exercise opponents are selected from a pool of fleets that are stronger than those found under new system #2 (details below), but are likely to give more experience upon being defeated.
     • (New)演習艦隊【第二群】 Fleet Group (No.2)
       • New system #2: Exercise opponents are selected from a pool of fleets considered to be "more suitable for exercises", not from the pool under the old system.
     • (Old) system
       • Old system: Exercise opponents are selected via the previous system (see below).
       • If you are ranked within the Top 1000, your list will be 5 random players within Top 1000.
       • If you are NOT ranked within the Top 1000, your list will be 1 random player within Top 1000, the 3 players immediately above you in Ranking, and the player 10 places after you in Ranking.
   • You can choose one out of the three systems for use, and switch between them as you choose. Conditions apply, see below.
     • The exercises update at 03h00 and 15h00 JST.
     • You can choose your preferred system up until two hours before the exercises update (01h00 / 13h00 JST). You will not be able to make any changes after this time.
       • The next round of exercise opponents will then be selected according to your system of choice.
       • As the new system of PvP has been implemented, the PvP opponents you are matched with post-patch may be significantly different from what you are normally used to, due to the initial matching by the system. This should be fixed after the next refresh, according to the option you have chosen from the list above.
         • Furthermore, the default selection on PvP post-patch is the "old" system. Therefore, if you do not change the default selection, you should return to the old system after the next refresh. If you wish to change this, select the system of your choice before the cut-off time.
     • The new systems #1 and #2 may be further refined/updated in the future.
4. Increase in the maximum number of ship slots
