Notes

  • Unfortunately I wasnt clear enough with the questions "Which of the following did you use to survive the preboss nodes of E4P3?" and "Which of the following did you use to survive the preboss nodes of E5P5?", since strategies may vary significantly between chipping and LD. Therefore these points were dropped in the evaluation above. You can still get a rough idea by looking at the google analytics though if it interests you.
  • From the 56 HHHHH clearers, there were 7 who cleared without FF, 6 who didnt use duplicates and 4 who put Waifu FS on Last Dance. One person also said to have had played on Softcap resources only and still managed to blow through 330k Fuel in the entire Event. Looks like they were busy in the Oil Fields.
  • 93% of people write 6 the right way
  • Between planning and playing, most people felt indifferent between both options (47%). The other two options were evently split with 26.1% each.

Meta Survey

  • I want to know how many people actually read this evaluation. Please do click here, answer the first question and submit the form. You can ignore all other questions, those are for the following:
  • Recently, I have gotten rather unsure with the evaluation and how I conduct it. It also doesnt help that the code behind it becomes more unreadable every half year I have to resurrect it. Maybe a refactor and reevaluation of this entire thing is in order, which is why I put a small metasurvey to the survey up in the link above (and here). This is just so I get a better feeling on what actually interests you guys and what should be worked on more.
  • Anyways, thank you all for participating. Cya around!

EuroBuffs, Cute ships.
What did you hate about the Event?
Not having enough exotic equipment to even make an Easy Clear possible.
What else do you have to say?
Returning to the game after an absence. Used to sometimes clear some maps on Hard. Now Easy was too hard and there's no way back, and given how E-4 treated the only rare equipment gain, I don't feel hopeful about catching back up.

The MO is pretty chill and good reward. Also good thing they add more Touch because it basically needed for a BB to even work now.
What did you hate about the Event?
The forced pay-to-have-a-chance-to-win, feel so shitty. It likes playing gacha without spark/pity system. It even worse when you are being force to use it or have a subpar clear rate. There is also some stupid anti-fun like adding Yamato route penalty to E4 but the boss fight forces you to use her anyway, or CTF vs crazy AACI. Also Phoenix farm is annoying.

Mogador is very cute and it seems she did a great job bringing in new or retired players to farm her. Also appreciate that the EO didn't award any equipment that will be forever missing from my dex.

What did you like about the Event?

Very good rewards if you could get them. Loire Kai is a very good night plane. Oversea mats to upgrade Richelieu for a new touch attack is great. And the Night Crew to get really a really nice new night recon and night torpedo bomber.
What did you hate about the Event?
E4P3. The route was just a tad too difficult. Then they throw these himes with enormous amounts of hp including 2 transports in the escort with 480 hp. They just soaked up way too many hits making the entire phase a dice roll.
What else do you have to say?
Collected all the new ships. Found Valiant and Phoenix while clearing. Mogador, I had to farm a bit. In exchange for that luck, it took 64 runs to clear E4N Phase 3 LD. Originally reach phase 3 on hard as well before dropping due to very ineffective chips. E4 is roughly 40-50% of the total resource cost of the entire event.

What did you like about the Event?

E1-3 were fun, albeit easy, and it was entertaining to see everything blow up at the slightest touch thanks to histo boni. Gloire and Mogador also cute af
What did you hate about the Event?
The EO as a whole. The worst parts were ofc how brutal E4P3 and E5P5 were, but in addition to these, there was also the fact that the EO felt more like a separate event altogether with pretty much no continuity with the rest of the event, and E5's earlier phases/unlocks were a complete slog as well. Lexington art is also iffy for me, not solely because of her artstyle, but because of her lack of resemblance to Sara, who was drawn by an artist still actively working with KC.
What else do you have to say?
(I ran out of space in the previous question so continuing here) I also disliked how the quests for the 11A and Night Murata were structured - while I think there's potential in the new 'IKEA-style rewards', it was executed exceptionally poorly, locking the quests behind several extremely tedious (and arguably illogical) prerequisites. In the 11A's case especially, despite the fact that it's locked behind the Night 11B quest while also rendering it almost completely obsolete, it forces us to make another maxed 11B, rather than just letting us upgrade the very equipment it's likely to replace...

What did you hate about the Event?
Difficulty seemed to scale exponentially compared to previous EOs, E4 Preboss final phase and E5 Preboss (Especially node Z) were absolute shit to try to pass through without smokes or other countermeasures.
What else do you have to say?
Honestly, wish I spent more time gathering materials and upgrading equipment. I've been lacking on certain things and even though I hit my goal of at least clearing Hard for the MO, it hurts that I wasn't able to clear the EOs on at least easy this time around. Gotta focus on leveling ships and upgrading equipment to be prepared for the next event.

What did you like about the Event?

The first half of it! the MO was really rewarding for having an equipped base- not the most rewarding in the tangible rewards sense, but 'I have X ship for Y lock, thus throw her at the problem to make it easy' was some of the best it's been for ages. The rewards were decent for the difficulty, it was possible to get through even if your sum total of anti-install is just the stuff you get from quests, and in general if the MO was everything, it'd have been the best in years.
What did you hate about the Event?
The EO. What the hell were they thinking? E4P3 was an insane mess of difficulty, and E5 was a massively bloated mix of abysmal prebosses that should have been two maps with more unlock phases. And the rewards for both were such an utter pile of refuse and shit- E5's stupidity aside, E4 slapped you with a 200 screw surcharge to even try and use the new stuff (and will likely be given out at other times in the future, or at least I hope).
What else do you have to say?
Fuck Lexington's design. It's been a month and I'm still pissed, it killed my motivation to actually finish the event on time. It's just so hilariously awful and I feel sorry for all the artists who are peer-pressured into pretending to enjoy her look and draw her.

Leaving aside the should-have-been-left-in-the-90s style and the numerous flaws in the philosophy and execution of the design (not even visually similar, let alone nigh-identical, errors in rigging, stupid and basic errors in anatomy that make it look like late 2023 AI, among many other things that this box isn't large enough to contain), the design itself is just *stupid*. Why does the poor girl have to go around looking like she's in a Tom & Jerryskit and had an iron bar smacked over her head?

Oh right, because Tanaka is an idiot and Kia Asamiya clearly thought 'oh hey this looks like a paycheck, I'll put in minimal effort because nobody will care'.Which seems to be his default state when asked for collabs, given how Vess in XC2 turned out.

Well people *did* care. And now Asamiya has been bullied off twitter (and will hopefully never do art for the game again), one of the most solidly-followed design rules for the last 10 years has been broken, and Tanaka's wild antics have ruined one of the most well-loved IRL ship classes.

Seriously, the man needs to hand the game over to someone who is capable of quietly running a game without wild annual stunts and drama, and go off to do something else. Maybe run the curry chain of his dreams, because that's clearly where his passions lie now.

I can't change four thousand plus stickers across everyone and all save files in one day!)

What did you hate about the Event?
EO was just obscene. I initially tried E4 on Medium but the boss of E4P3 just wouldn't die with FF, to save myself the headache and valuable consumables I had to drop to Casual to get it over with. E5 was a bit easier but the wall of CAH and 2 Ne-class was very annoying to deal with. Oh by the way Ne spam everywhere for prebosses, just why? The rewards for E5 weren't even worth it, most of it was stock gear on Lex Kai and they're not even good except for Sudoku and Fits.

Very harsh bucket drain, PT imps in particular have caused me more trouble than I recall them giving me in prior events. Had to stop on on E3p4 due to lack of buckets, making me miss out on Richie K2 and gloire. Really annoying. At least I got Mogador. I also kept getting dupes of the same ships instead of new ones which was also annoying (2 Ark Royals, 2 GZ, 2 Sheffield). Woulda liked Tashkent or Prinz but barely got to farm E1 after abandoning E3, so I guess I cant complain about missing them too much.

Yet another free event, this time with mid rewards which made a lot of low skilled so-called " fossil" players do ez diffs on e5, pretty laughable. and some even getting others to clear for them, like usual. which btw should be banned because account sharing is disgusting behaviour. instead of being trapped by le reward fomo, just quit already. or swallow the fragile ego and skip it instead of paying people to do the hard job for you while you play other garbage games kek :pinching_hand:

What did you like about the Event?

My first European Event after my hiatus after the Fall 2019 Event. I'm glad I was able to catch up and get many of the European ships that I missed over the past few years. Also, I liked the addition of new French ships(even though it were just two, three if you want to count Richelieu's deux). I got all the Maestrale sisters, got all the Italians, finished my German ship collection, and even got some dupes for the future. EOs were totally a mess, didn't bother to finish, just farmed MOs.
What did you hate about the Event?
EOs. The fact that Lexington doesn't look like her sister, despite Saratoga being implemented first. The fact that I had to do 100 runs for Valiant. The fact that I had to adopt a hit and run tactic of sortie-ing, then coming back and having to wait for expedition 5 or 38 to return so I could refuel in order to farm more. Not to mention that I constantly ran out of buckets. Completely. The fact I didn't get Jean Bart- but got three Ukurus and two Richelieus instead.
What else do you have to say?
I couldn't even send my maintenance expeditions out or put any ships in the dock by the time maintenance started, because I had six(6) fuel left. Not six digits. just 6. the last question in this survey is poking fun at me.

What did you like about the Event?

MO was good, and there's a solid potential for events to give materials to complete permanent quests instead of having rewards locked to a time machine. If devs keep bringing back special mats, they can stop hard gating valuable rewards, while still giving very good rewards out.
What did you hate about the Event?
The EO is hot garbage and ne kai is the worst enemy in the entire game. E5 rewards are basically nonexistent.
What else do you have to say?
My dream is that devs will learn from the mistakes of the EO. The maps were garbage, but E4 reward scheme has a lot of potential. Devs can add night mats to any later event and a newer player can still get the new night recon or night TB eventually. E5 is still inexcusable, though; it offers effectively nothing whatsoever in return for an overly tedious map that seems keen on diving head first into as many awful design decisions as physically possible. Cut out phases 2 and 4 and it'd be much better, but the best solution would be to not put literal bosses in the preboss nodes. I don't care if devs warned us it would be hard, it's a terrible map. Saying "oops, this might be hard" doesn't excuse atrocious map design, it just makes it sound like you're trying to cover your butt for utterly failing to give a single iota of attention to balance. Not that E4 is much better, but it's at least shorter with its rampant hatred of common decency. It's almost entirely focused on the final phase being garbage instead of most of the map. The only reason i rated the EO a 2 instead of a 1 is because of the potential of the E4 rewards. If they ignore that going forward it's a 1. Zero redeeming qualities.

Seeing big crits using carriers. The new ships were pretty good overall which made it different from other events where I like only a very limited amount Penis1. The MO was pretty comfy to clear.
What did you hate about the Event?
EO maps have too many phases. Overreliance on smoke to have a chance to get to the boss. Even with smoke, boss reach rate is quite low due to getting pounded by some preboss nodes Penis1. Routes being punishing enough that spamming megami is the standard strategy for LD is very disappointing. Having multiple Yamato being optimal for clearing which can bring up the total event cost.
What else do you have to say?
My opinion of this event would probably be worse had I not cleared E4P3 LD on first try. Mistakenly locking Hatsuzuki to E3 baited me in using Nagato touch instead of my dupe Yamato for E5P5 which took 33 attempt Penis1. At least, I got two phoenix while clearing E5 so I go that gonig.

What else do you have to say?
The Summer 2024 Extra Operations event in Kancolle is unnecessarily difficult, especially on Hard and Medium modes. While I enjoy a challenge, this event feels punishing. E4’s boss fleet design is poorly balanced, with the two Honolulu Princesses having higher armor than the boss, forcing players to rely heavily on RNG. Even with debuff, the boss is not any easier. This makes boss sniping nearly impossible without highly upgraded gear or a consistent record of Hard mode clears.

The path to the boss is also frustrating. Node W, particularly during the Last Dance, is filled with strong enemies that practically require damage control to pass, and without an on-route repair node, the map becomes unbearably difficult. Even with a Yamato Musashi Fleet or FAST+ Fleet, it feels more like luck than skill that determines success through sniping the flagship.

E5 isn’t any better. While its earlier phases are manageable, the final stages, especially Node Z, are brutal. This node has four Princess-class enemies, making it extremely difficult to pass without using a Touch or using smokes. Even with LBAS and Node Support, the enemies are so tanky that it feels impossible to make progress. The Friend Fleet helps a bit, but waiting for it just adds to the frustration. The silver lining in this whole ordeal was that the Boss is easier than the preboss. If you can pass through them, you have a high chance of dealing damage to the boss with Friendly Fleet.

The Phoenix drop rate is terrible, and the Hard mode rewards are disappointing. The two planes you get in E5H are stock equipment on Lexington Kai and not worth the effort, and are upgradeable via Akashi. After you managed to cleared Hard Mode, the rewards feel like a slap in the face, offering little more than cosmetic items.

I enjoyed the Main Operation, but the Extra Operation felt more like a chore. If future events are this unbalanced, I may consider quitting the game. 0/10.

I like we got a full foreign release, that now the french arent limited to Akira alone, speaking of the french, i love their design, Hoshi and Sakana has demostrate they can go beyond US and IJA shipgirls. On a similar note i enjoyed the use of sudoku historical bonuses, yeah it can be a wall for newcomers but at least there was a way to make the phase challenging enough without being too overwhelming, specially when you hit as hard as the abyssals did as well in the MO. The OSTs always deliver.
What did you hate about the Event?
Not much hate than rather being dissapointed at Phoenix not being more Argentenian that i was expecting, EO was also a letdown how bad balanced it was, even there was a bug with the difficulties lmao, not to mention the rewards were few and behind a quest, hopefully that doesnt become an habit for future events.
What else do you have to say?
I'm curious about what would come next event, is more obvious we are going to get remodels as part of the new release roster so Tanaka can keep saving some big ships for later on. Also the stacking of bonuses should be a must at least as a way of "fixing" the difficulty of a map.

Is very bizarre how SEA was the most out spoken when it came to the Lexington controversy, personally i wish she was a twin sister kinda like I-14&I-13 even if it was on a different style, that way you could differentiated anyway, so far she wouldn't be the last blown of proportion controversy we didn't need.

I don't want another event till next year, so far i would be happy with mini events till next event. I swear sometimes Tanaka fuck ups look more like he just being a bit done with KC(the game), at least he has passion for ww2 ships, otherwise we would have gotten a veteran of manga working with KC to release Lexington(oh the irony of people hating her even tho they have a bit of a point)

I wonder if people still shitting on Intrepid or Helena to this day.

I just hope the devs realize that games should be fun and not a test of your frustration tolerance (and/or wallet). How should they achieve this? I don't know but if you're going to make the game "harder" don't do it like you did in the EO. I personally think KanColle should be a much more chill game than this. The frustration adds up fast. Especially so when it doesn't reward you well.

What did you like about the Event?

MO was fairly enjoayble, if not all that difficult. MO farming was perfectly fine. Like new ships not named Lexington. Final EO map did not force Hard for rare equip (nice given E4H). Overall, gimmicks not spammed too much, and while 1 or 2 tough nodes to S-rank, reasonable IMO.
What did you hate about the Event?
500 characters are not enough – In short, EO was stupidly designed. No reason for E4P3 (especially Hard) since not the final map. Rewards poor overall – not a fan of carrot pilots & now have to do arsenal quests to get my reward. WTF Tanaka. And yes, I'm going to post it. Lexington's design is terrible - garish and ill-fitting. Will I quit because of it? No, but that doesn’t change anything, and not helping a poorly designed EO.
What else do you have to say?
Rated event 2 because EO blots out MO. Rated EO 2 instead of 1 because I didn't get hammered at E4HP3. Rather than inspire me to play, EO design quelled my motivation to play KC (and again, wasn't hammered at E4HP3). Spring 2023 E2H was terrible for me, but ultimately I powered my way through the event. Maybe I'm getting burned out on KC. A year ago, I would have gone for full Hard clear (had resources, ships, equip for E5H) and spent all available free time up until event end for Phoenix... but I just wasn't motivated to do so. Not going to quit the game, but when I'm thinking more about maybe ranking another month (don't always) and "I can use these resources to LSC Maruyu" with 3 weeks left in the event rather than do E5H (and post clear go all out to farm Phoenix)... that's not good. For me, events were always special, and the daily grind = preparation for them. Hopefully next event will be much better (and I can get Phoenix).

What did you like about the Event?

MO was very relaxed, and very flexible for compositions.
What did you hate about the Event?
EO was just overly RNG dependent trash. Rewards were just plain bad.
What else do you have to say?
More MO, less EO. Rewards should match the difficulty of the map, and map difficulty should be something that one can overcome with gear and resource preparation, not be ultimately left to personal luck.

Also, there is a point at which art style disparity becomes too much. Lexington on her own is not bad, but she does not fit with anything else currently in the game, so when deploying her she sticks like a sore thumb. Summer Mikuma levels of sore thumb.

What did you like about the Event?

Pretty decent MO drops overall, albeit with some questionable choices. Pretty good MO rewards with reasonable difficulty, even for someone going in with next to no European ships to start off.
What did you hate about the Event?
E3 is a map heavily built around the use of Richelieu/Jean Bart, yet the only place in the entire event that drops them is... the final boss of E3; terrible design choice. Nelson/Rodney also being E3-X exclusive, another bizarre choice. Very nearly everything about the EO's was a mistake - Abysmal clear rewards (save the Night SCM's from E4); fairly poor map drops minus a couple ships; outrageously high difficulties; ridiculously overtuned AA. Tried E4E to fish for lucky boss drops, no such luck
What else do you have to say?
Ro-chan came home, so I am happy. My stupid beginner's luck didn't hold out for E4, and I didn't get a miracle Saratoga or Phoenix drop, so I could've been happier. Still, my overall haul was quite satisfying for the first Euro event I truly tried at.

What did you like about the Event?

As always, the aspect I enjoyed the most was the music, which is consistently fantastic. The new ships, with one exception, are also wonderful. The enemies are all impressive, and the map design shows great intent. This time, the balance between phases and gimmicks feels just right.

What else do you have to say?
As for the things I dislike about this event... where do I even begin? Unfortunately, there are just too many. Starting with Lexington’s design—it feels completely out of place, like it doesn't belong in Kancolle. This wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if the art quality were amazing, but it isn’t. Her face looks downright bad in her regular art. The only redeeming aspect of Lexington is the wealth of memes that have sprung up because of her.

There were also numerous bugs during this event. The gimmick for unlocking the E5-5 boss wasn’t working in hard mode, the new night Murata didn’t deliver the expected night damage, and the touch trigger condition between CTF and single fleet was messed up. And, by the way, that still hasn’t been fixed. The developers might even claim it's a 'feature,' just like they have with other bugs in this game—it's terrible.

Then there’s the EO difficulty, which is a total disaster. E5 is absurdly unfair and requires either a huge amount of time or money, which the devs say is intentional. But there’s absolutely no excuse for E4. That map is cursed, and the only way to have a remotely decent chance of clearing it is to use damage control items and rely on the friend fleet. My point is proven by the fact that the devs rushed out friend fleets for E4, and those who cleared it before that mostly relied on Yamato’s special attack for daytime headshots. It’s a complete mess. And friend fleets for E5? They took far too long to arrive, almost as if the devs were trying to 'balance out' the fact that they introduced them for E4 so early—it’s infuriating.

Lastly, let’s talk about the rewards. The MO rewards are decent enough—easy maps with crazy bonuses, so you can’t expect anything too amazing. While we don’t know the ‘true value’ of the EO rewards yet, based on what we do know, the rewards are incredibly underwhelming for the effort required. EO maps on hard mode are pure masochism this time around, and the rewards are insulting for the level of self-torture involved. The only reason I pushed myself to clear E4 and E5 on hard mode was for my own sense of pride—there was no other real incentive. The carrots will come back, and the night recon 11A and night Murata are already in the permanent quest list for those unable to clear E4 on hard mode, so they shouldn’t even be considered part of the event rewards.

What did you hate about the Event?
The event is poorly designed. Even Easy modes aren’t easy anymore and have become less enjoyable. This has forced me to downgrade to casual mode twice. Also the rewards are not worth fighting for anymore. And lastly, Lexington seriously needs an art fix. The current official Lexington art is ugly and it should be Yoshinori Shizuma to draw her.
What else do you have to say?
Chinjufu needs to reevaluate how they design future event maps because it involves too much unnecessary transport phases, unnecessary route unlocking gimmicks and the devs should not make easy mode the new “hard” mode. And lastly, we need German ship girls now.

What did you like about the Event?

Main Operations were enjoyable! Also, Mogador, Valiant, and Gloire are beautiful! New Abyssal enemies looked beautiful too, and map design and challenge level exceeded expectations.
What did you hate about the Event?
Extra Operations at first looked doable, however this proved otherwise. Their lack of rewards per unit of effort invested, as well as too many preboss bosses on both maps (but especially E-4), and literally did not have enough time to finish the EOs. Also, Lexington's design is alright, but it could use another detail pass and/or alterations on her artwork that brings her more in line with her Abyssal counterpart.
What else do you have to say?
Looking foward to a properly finished Extra Operation for the next event, and not the half-baked one we got this time around.

What did you hate about the Event?
Without even taking into account the required efford, rewards were utter garbage. Having last EO give junk that is stock equipment of the ship you can get on casual is beyond laughable. E4N looked like E7H and all just for a crafting material that will most likely come soon with some mini event or quests. MO had rewards you'd expect from C/E mode. E3 with 4 bosses amd a crapton of faffing around just for stock equipment and a worthless plane was disgusting. It's harder and harder to even bother.

MO was ok to both length and dificulty, with propper equipment, and had good rewards and drops. Also we finaly utilized mostly EU fleet to do sorties. Yeah, TP phases were annoying (Except E3P3), but thats how TP phases are done lately.
What did you hate about the Event?
The hell of E5, only single phase, that wasnt agonising was P2, but rest of event was overtuned in dificulty. Like whose idea was to put Hayashio hime into E4 preboss and most importantly not 1, not 2, but 3 NE KAI into P5 preboss. Y node thats not only brutal to reach, but also brutal to S rank making debuff hell of route
What else do you have to say?
Its ver clear that devs dont test event maps before release (Just like R8 in CSGO), or adapted balance policy or Rito game. Extreme overtune of EO dificulty, when even frontliners could not find routings in 2 days was a crown to terribleness of E5, Yeah and also, Never doubt Myoukou TCI.

Music, Long event duration, and New ship being useful for clearing later map (Mogador).
What did you hate about the Event?
Ne-kai pre boss nodes, more or less every pre-boss node in the EO, Javelin drop rate, and lack of LBAS at the start of most maps.
What else do you have to say?
Ho boy were do I begin, I think I'll just write a few things from my notes for each map in order to save Grunilg and everyone else from having to read a 1000+ word essay on my feelings for this event. E-1 was more or less a landing craft gear check. E-2 I would say was more annoying then difficult. E-3 was a French BB/ British CV check for most the map and other then the terrible drop rate for ships like Javelin and the Ne-kai pre-boss nodes being everywhere. It was not to bad. Overall I was quite happy with MO as this was the first time I cleared a MO on all hard. The EO on the other hand was way overtuned and was the first time I felt that Dupe Yamato and Musashi was more or less required to have a shot at clearing both full Hard. And due to the difficulty vs Rewards noting above Casual in E4 or E5 felt worth my time, stress, and energy (I did get a Phoenix in E-5 after 22 S-ranks (16 S-ranks E5 6 S-Ranks E-4)). I do hope Javelin returns soon as I failed to get her after 145 S-ranks. My entire event run was streamed and archived on Twitch for those who wish to see any of the runs I did during the Event. - CodRaven1728 on KC, Discord, and Twitch.

What did you hate about the Event?
The ENTIRE EO, the difficulty spike is too great that I'm not suprise if a lot of player completing this on Casual and even then, the rewards, drop rate and node checks are abysmal. Spending tons of resouces for ships that couldn't even drop. Including Lexington design choice
What else do you have to say?
Honestly this event really diverse MO and EO difficulty too much that regulars struggle a lot to complete this event completely. The presence of dreaded Ne-Class Kai Summer alone is making the event hard, including them in a LOT of preboss node is brutal both to seasoned and casual players. While this may be a good move for KC team to make player actually spend some real cash to buy damegami/slots/supplies, it did put a den on players morale and steer players away from the game

High expenditure is from breaking on E4H..pass rate was near 100, but nothing would even hit much less sink the boss. Had *six* bloody boss protects trigger in one battle alone. So after the 50th 'did not sink her', dropped to normal and sank her next try in a daytime S. Sucks, as had zero interest in the expy carrier from Mugen no Ryvius, so was planning to consider E4 the 'full hard clear' =P

Good BGM and MO. Completed kandex for the first time. Phoenix dropping on E4H random A rank chip. E5M being a breeze.
What did you hate about the Event?
E4HP3, fast+ fleets, absurd resource sink in E4H before drop to M
What else do you have to say?
Making EO's harder by having fast+ being almost mandatory is not a good trend. This event also broke my all hard event streak of 7. It's fascinating to read event channel discussion to see how somebody asks for help with fleet comps, gets a helpful response, then completely denies why their original comp was faulty and on top of that, makes it worse.

What did you like about the Event?

LexingCute. The OST delivers once more, at first I wasn't a fan of the EO themes but after some listening, it clicked. Very good soundtracks all over the Event...
What did you hate about the Event?
... And unfortunately it was the only redeeming quality of this Event. MO wasn't bad per se but it has one single issue : That there are NeKai in ours wall and EVERYWHERE once E2P2 started. E3P4 was the only place were a Preboss NeKai was skippable. The difficulty spike between MO and EO. The over-reliance on difficult Preboss nodes to gatekeep players. The peak level design of E5 node Z. Among other things.
What else do you have to say?
One could write a whole book about this Event, but I'll make it short here. E1 was nice but in fact started to shown signs of gate-keeping. You don't have enough Anti-installations gears ? Too bad for you ! Same apply for the unlocking phase of E2P2, and then NeKai in Preboss start to show up every time. E3 was in fact the most balanced map of the whole Event (official clearrates seems to confirm it).

Regarding the rewards of the MO, let's be absolutely honest here. It was "bad". It feel underwhelming. What did we truly get from the MO's rewards (Assuming all Hard) ? 1 RE, 2 Radar, 1 Blueprint, 1 Catapult and 1 new Night Recon. I do not count the new Materials in this because it will become something mostly present in regular quests. Imagine someone not even clearing E1 on Casual, Devs has to make sure this person can still clear all the permanents quests in the future.

So why I believe the rewards of the MO were "Bad" ? Honestly we got spoiled to no end by some of the Mini-Events rewards this year. 2 Shinden Kai, Missile LBAS Plane, extra Haya 64th... I think you see the "problem" here.

And then there's the EO.

You take everything I said above and ramp it up to 11 !

E4's issues ? Historical bonuses not present or doesn't feel significant. First boss is already showing signs of hostility when they add Submarine Hime for Last Dance. And then there's Phase 3, where you get double NeKai as the "norm" for even unlock phases (Hi node F1 !). Phase 3 is the enbodiement of ~Scarlet Devil~ everything we do not like about an Event : rough Submarine node, Yasen against Imps, Airstrike node, Na-class + Sub preboss, NeKai Preboss (More airstrike and AA/SS node for Yama/Sushi route) and then there the boss itself. Someone need to make a fan-art of the following :

Abyssal Washington the sassy loli slumped on her throne sighing while having a predatory smile on her face. Abyssal Honolulu and Brooklyn dressed as abyssal princess dancing like Shantae on each side of the throne. Two CV Hime relaxing on deckchairs, and NeKai sipping her juice with a smug face. While being gatekeeped by 2 Atlanta-Hime-level-of-AA Transports ships and Na-class staring menacingly at the shipgirls (Thank god they don't O-Torp). Phoenix tied up and suspended like Princess Peach who watches the scene with a worried look.

Yeeeah, the usage of such heavy bosses is not a good thing when your Historical bonuses aren't following to help.

All of that for nothing or mostly nothing. Such efforts, all for a material that will show up again as a normal thing. It's Protocatapult from Summer 2015 all over again.

AND THEN, there's the blue coins, I mean E5.

Lexington's design aside (I personally don't mind), look at this insanely long map. Five phases. And what do you get beside the Hard Mode medal ? AN ACTION REPORT ! What did it costed ? Eveything. Meanwhile you get one for much cheaper each quaterly with Naganami's quest.

SummerDiva + 3 NeKai is peak level Design. And Devs warned up about the returning Heywood Hime who only show up two time total while NeKai is still everywhere (except E5P4).

FFs putting bandaids on some of the holes do not help. I hope everyone enjoyed their suffering on E4 and E5 (I did not !)

What did you hate about the Event?
E4/E5, but more on that under additional notes because 500 characters is too short (thanks past me for setting the limit)
What else do you have to say?
Hmmm, i don’t really know what to say. Or rather: I do have a lot to say, but how to express it without being incredibly rambly is hard. As the author of this survey (wow, the reply with answer number „Michishio #1“ is me, how surprising) I have both the benefit of wiki formatting and all the evaluated data at hand to make my commentary seem more important than it is. But nothing here was really surprising. Lowest clear rate matches the official data. General EO dissatisfaction matches the discourse on social media. The incredible cost of the event matches everyones playing experience. Lexington being the least popular new girl matches the JP polls too. A lot has been written about the event design in the other replies, so there isn’t much for me to say about that. You can see my final score on to the left anyways.

After a some consideration I have come to the following conclusion: I am playing a game that represents the vision of probably less people than I have digits on a hand. With all its incredible highs and all its very avoidable lows, I am still here playing it. After all, there is more to see and explore. New remodels like Kirishima K2C, and the upcoming pumpkin and saury events. And hey, there is that new Shinden for the land base too. Wonder where I will get that. This is more or less the same I have written in a reddit comment about 4 years ago after the infamous Take event. which also went from an easy european MO to hell in the pacific. History doesn’t repeat itself, but it may rhyme in certain places. How many more verses I am there to listen to or when the opera ends is all but written in the stars.

What did you like about the Event?

The amount of historical references in the nodes in the different maps. All the new ship girls were also really nice. I enjoyed the Main Operations more than the Extra Operations.
What did you hate about the Event?
Difficulty spike in Extra Operations. Also the drop rate for USS Phoenix was weird. Lastly, the immaturity of some groups that it ended having repercussions in real life.
What else do you have to say?
I admit I was busy in real life responsibilities hence why E4 and E5 were dismissed to lower difficulty. But I did heed the warning from the tweets from C2 while I was recovering resources from E3 that the EO's will be more difficult. I love Kia Asamiya's work and I am happy with Lexington but I do have some minor issues with the rigging. Voice choice for all new kanmusu were spot on.

What did you like about the Event?

The MO was an easy start which was nice compared to some previous events.
What did you hate about the Event?
The EO were really bad. Too many strong enemies in the boss node, as well as very annoying preboss nodes. The rewards were also very bad! Also, it is a bad practice to hide necessary items in higher difficulty for quest rewars, a very stupid addition to the game which hopefully will never return. Too long in general and I couldn't motivate myself to farm for the new ships. Having as many drops as rewards is also kind of annoyance.
What else do you have to say?
Hopefully the next event will be easier with better rewards and less farming for new ships.

MO was excellent. I wasn’t able to do full hard clears (I lacked the French BBs so I had to make compromises which hampered by ability to clear E2H and E3H), but I can see all of the pieces, and it felt nice.
What did you hate about the Event?
What on earth was that EO. You can see what they’re TRYING to go for on E4, but the pre-boss sucks and you have to hamper everyone’s combat ability (via speed mods) if you want to use a full Yamato Touch without more terrible pre-boss nodes. Once you get there, you face way too many damage sponges. E5’s preboss sucked too, but at least the boss was more reasonable.

The Main Operation
What did you hate about the Event?
The entire Extra Operation and Lexington
What else do you have to say?
If this event was made up of just the 3 Main Operation maps, it would have been a fun, memorable European event. Unfortunately, the completely unrelated Extra Operation and its neverending stream of BS, unfair enemy compositions, and restrictive player fleet setups ruined everything. The general sentiment I saw across English and Japanese players was that the Extra Operation was not fun and not worth doing on any difficulty level other than Very Easy. I agree with this sentiment. The installation HP sponges (particularly in E-4) had way too much HP to cut through, especially if your so-called “nuke” setups never produce “nuke” level damage. In all my time playing this game, anti-installation combat with landing crafts is my most hated combat tactic, tied with the Transport Combined Fleet. The number of phases in E-5 was too high; five phases made it feel like a complete event inside of an event. Then again, I also hate these multi-phase maps that do nothing but waste the player’s time. We must return to “one gauge, one boss per map.” The Extra Operation also penalized players who didn’t have access to speed-enhancing equipment and players who wanted to use a specific Special Attack that required more than 2 shipgirls (such as Colorado’s Special Attack). Restricting players’ fleet setups like this discourages players who want to field their favorites to finish off the event and prevents other shipgirls from having their chance to shine. To top it all off, Lexington is by far the ugliest and absolute worst shipgirl design in the history of Kantai Collection. I don’t care if she was drawn by a so-called famous artist. Lexington’s design does not fit with KanColle’s overall aesthetic, is historically inaccurate in many ways, and in my opinion, looks amateurish and unfinished. Management should have rejected this effort outright and either demanded a redo in line with KanColle’s overall aesthetic or dismissed the artist and had Saratoga’s artist Shizuma Yoshinori draw Lexington instead. I honestly would want the latter, considering Sara and Lex are sister ships and should share similar aesthetics. Lexington’s current design does not look like Saratoga’s sister at all. Azur Lane’s Saratoga and Lexington are much easier to identify as sister ships, and they’re both pleasing to look at, having the same design aesthetic. As far as KanColle’s Lexington is concerned, I’ll raise her to Kai, take away her planes, and give them to the other USN carriers in my armada. This ugly Lexington can be a permanent benchwarmer with the potato Intrepid. I could use a CG replacement mod and replace every instance of ugly KanColle Lexington with Azur Lane Lexington, but it’s easier to simply pretend KanColle Lexington does not exist. Tanaka and management continue to be the true enemies of Kantai Collection as they slowly kill it with a death of a thousand cuts. When KanColle dies, it will be their fault.

What did you like about the Event?

MO maps were really great. All the bonus from historical and equipments gave funny numbers.Most of the new girls are fantastic especially Gloire and Phoenix. A lot of good drops returned, i finally managed to get Tashkent after looking for her during years.All musics from this event were awesome, my favorite one was E3 boss music.
What did you hate about the Event?
EO maps were a complete disaster. E4P3 was probably the most brutal part, not only the routing was awful but the boss was absurd, 2 Honolulu hime, 2 Wo/CV Hime and 2 480 hp TP make no sense at all. Being force to use damegami to do LD attempts was disgusting. E5 was so long and painful with horrible prenodes. That was a very bad design to have a prenode with a CA Hime and 3 Ne kai before final boss. Futhermore it made farm a pure torture. Finally rewards were an insult for the effort required.
What else do you have to say?
There are so many wrong things in those EO maps, if i mentionned all of them it would required a full essay. I can add that the event had many bugs, the FF arrived very late in E5 and at last they messed up with Lexington design, she doesn't look like a kc girl. In the end i managed to reach all my goals, but if devs keep releasing maps like that in the future i don't think i'll be able to struggle for clearing full hard and getting all new girls. This event could have been perfect but EOs maps ruined everything.

overall, the initial part of the event was a great example of a good event. good selection of re-runned ships, not too hard but not too easy and giving quite decent rewards on most of the difficulties.

even tho I didnt participate in it, the second part of the event basically hard stop after E-3. Lexington was... interesting choice... the artist did alright but the were completely given the wrong ship to do/be told to do so the already jarring art style shift felt even MORE jarring... the Difficulty spike I was hearing for E-4 and E-5 basically pissed away all enthusiasm I had to try and doing it and seeing if I can grab some of the Yanks I wanted

What did you like about the Event?

I think the MO was fun, while maybe a little easy due to the plane chart bonuses being crazy the challenge and rewards were pretty balanced
What did you hate about the Event?
The EO in its entirety, the rampant spam of Ne kai or princess prebosses, the clear lack of any sense of balance or slightest idea of what is actually possible for players to achieve and the IKEA flatpack furniture nature of this event's rewards. A battle that was primarily a duel between two carriers from either side sees carriers taking a backseat because most of the time they are completely deplaned. Oh yea and Lexington, please keep your childhood fanboying out of the game Tanaka.
What else do you have to say?
I doubt this is a hot take by far but the EO was a dumpsterfire. This was already clearly visible from the start when frontliners struggled for days to get through the sheer cliff that was E4, only to run into an actual impossible dead wall on E5 with the final boss unlock until Tanaka pulled the emergency lever and changed stuff to make it actually possible. This is also how the whole EO feels like, haphazardly stitched together by a bunch of people that have no idea how their own game actually functions or what is actually feasible in the game.

Damegami use is slowly but surely becoming more of a must rather than a benefit in some of these event maps, and each time devs seem to add a new fun and interesting mechanics for the players the very next event every abyssal is in possession of a counter to this new mechanic (In this event the primary example being smoke, with most difficult nodes having radars which nullifies most of its effect). End of the day this just takes away any challenge in making and designing good comps to deal with the situation at hand and reverts everyone back to Yamato touch + TCI snipe spam accompanied with Damegamis to slightly lessen the mental burden of playing what is essentially roulette with cute girls.

Then there is the case of the event rewards, or as I personally dubbed them, the IKEA flatpack furniture experience. Usually when we have an event we clear the map, we get a reward, we are either happy or sad based upon the usefulness of the reward compared to the difficulty of the map, and move on to the next one. In this event you slog your way through the map and defeat it to be rewarded with building pieces. which you are then supposed to take home with you to your base where you are presented with a construction manual in the form of a quest in order to use the stuff you just received to assemble it into your eventual event reward. But unlike IKEA Tanaka wasn't so nice as to also give us the screws, nuts and bolts, we had to go get these ourselves in the form of additional equipment (including stars) and resources consumed in quest completion. In the case of the 11A and the night Murata the quest is also locked behind relatively expensive and hard to complete quests in the form of the 11b skilled quest and the Nonoka quest. Equipment that suffered from this is the 38cm Quad kai Deux, the 11A night recon and the Night Murata, with Richelieu Deux also being a part of this group to a lesser extend.

Last but not least we have E5, which was a ridiculously hard map to clear on any difficulty, with the grand reward at the end...... A pair of very bad planes with stars you don't need and could've given them yourself cause it was immediately improvable and the planes are stock on the reward ship of that same map. Then there is also Lexington who's art, leaving aside everything about the choice of artist and its artstyle, feels mediocre in quality and has odd design choices which make her all round actually uncomfortable to look at. Personally hoping that the Protopult in E3 was a hint at a possible mod2/mk2 for her which might at least increase the quality of her artwork.

MO was decently challenging, and while I did have a hard time at E3, I still saw a chance, and committed to all-hard MO, and finally did it. Too tired from E4 for a interesting comment, should have dropped to Easy from the start, instead I was too stubborn for that bloody carrot. E5 was at least bearable in Medium until P5, then Z was an ABSOLUTE PAIN to go through. The sheer idiocy of how I would rather fight pre-boss REEEEEs compared to whatever Z was. Even more ironic was in LD where I finally decided to equip damagami and NO SMOKES, failed support proc, and somehow had my most successful battle with that node, while other times lvl3 smoke, all lbas, support fleet proc, and always 2 ships taiha in escort fleet closing torps with TWO ships left. At least I have a trashcan now...

E-4 and E-5 in general were just terrible. E-5 rewards were awful, E-4 was a horrific grind with a terrible boss design and a brutal preboss phase. If the devs don't want us to use the Yamatos, don't reward their use with bonuses, design the boss around them, and then make using them a trap option turning an already bad preboss phase into something that basically destroys your fleet's Evasion and damage potential before you reach the boss. There are ways around that, as bonus structure on E-2 and E-3 showed; they could have implemented similar schemes here but just didn't, and instead penalized players who didn't have specific long-term quests unlocked or didn't complete E-4 on Hard despite the sheer difficulty and grind of that map. This is horrible anti-player design; there are better ways to do things.

New Ships are nice. MO was so easy it felt refreshing
What did you hate about the Event?
E4 was the most ridiculous, stupid map we had in KC so far. The whole EO was terrible
What else do you have to say?
I still think this wasn't the hardest event we had, but E4 is the most stupid map we ever had. I almost enjoyed going through pain that was Summer 2015, or Summer 2017. Playing russian roulette with Yamato touch to just one shot boss is not what I would call rewarding, enjoyable or challenging. Just plain stupid. MO on the other hand felt extremely easy if you had all the required Euro equipment. That was pretty refreshing and fun. The only thing I kinda liked in EO was the fact that hard didn't give any really good equipment. My opinion for a while was that final map on hard should give out only hard medal and nothing special that medium wouldn't.

Extended Ops. Themes and concepts were fine, but the difficulty and lack of suitable rewards killed the fun.
What else do you have to say?
I had been hearing for years about how people had been losing the desire to play the game overall (including events), but I hadn't really understood those feelings...until this event. Just looking at the rewards made me question my desire to even start in the first place.

What did you like about the Event?

Operation Menace which was the first stage of the event was a well put together event experience. Good drops all-around, good rewards and the maps were somewhat enjoyable to get trough. New ships were cute and fairly easy to farm, excluding drops from E4 and E5.
What did you hate about the Event?
The MO maps were true hell. Escpecially the preboss battles.
What else do you have to say?
The MO maps were true hell. I don't even know why I bothered to do E5 on Hard. Looking back now, I was really dumb. The rewards were utter trash, and there was no sense of accomplishment.

This was the first time I realized that MO maps are truly P2W, and there is no other way to complete them without losing your sanity due to pre-boss taiha bs. Smokes are too inconsistent, and sometimes it feels like they don't work at all, even at level 3. Many, if not most, players just used damecons on all their ships, which in turn made the maps easy and made the damage almost irrelevant. I managed to avoid the use of damecons and didn’t refresh on any items, but still felt cheated.

The worst part is that this might just be the direction all future events will take. I knew that the introduction of smokes was a sign that new problems were coming.

PS: Mogador is cute.

What did you like about the Event?

I enjoyed the new additions to the French fleet, including Richelieu's upgrade! The MOs were very fun as well.
What did you hate about the Event?
The asinine decisions made for the EOs. Bugged compositions, absurd difficulty (for E4), and rewards that absolutely did not justify the effort expected for both maps.
What else do you have to say?
I have not played below medium for EOs in a long time and typically shoot for hard. Though the lack of time was my ultimate factor in that decision for this event (had to finish both from the start in 36 hours), the ridiculous difficulties and paltry rewards would have certainly made me stick with that decision even if I had the time.

The main problem is that 3.5 months wasn't enough time for the devs to finish making the event (as indicated by the lack of testing for E5P5 unlock). MO was fun, even if it was on the easier side. E5 was fine for a final map, for P5, pre-boss was hellish, but the boss itself wasn't hard to clear (with FF). E4P3 on the other hand, had not only difficult pre-boss, but also an extremely difficult boss node (even with FF), which resulted in a very long and expensive chipping phase and low clear % LD with damegami and drums. This wasn't a challenge, just plain torture. Oh, and the event didn't just end here, you still had to clear E5 with high resource costs.

The difficulty on the first half of the event is well balanced with good rewards.
What did you hate about the Event?
The second half of the event is extremely difficult, especially on nodes that are before bosses, and rewards that just not worth the effort you put into finishing the maps.
What else do you have to say?
This is probably one of the very few events with difficultly setting so high, it forces players to spend on damagecon/damagegami to even have a chance for a boss fight. The other being the 2017 Autumn and the 2018 Winter events (the two events before the end of Adobe Flash era of the game).

whole MO being a smooth run, stacking of historical bonus for big numbers
What did you hate about the Event?
whole EO was really badly though, starting from last phase of E4: hard to reach boss OR hard to kill boss are fine in EO, but not both at the same time, even more if it's not the final phase. And if you add on top on that no reliable way to kill said boss outside of hoping for touch snipe, you end with a garbage map design. E5 wasn't better, with some nightmarish preboss nodes, really poor rewards and the need for yamato class dupes.
What else do you have to say?

breaking my 24 streak of hard medals after so many years feels bad. Lexington was a big disappointment: her art feels really out of place within KC and that her design should have been really close to her sistership Saratoga. She should have never been added to the game in that state. Another euro event without new german ships.

Had to reduce the difficulty to Casual for the EOs due to irl commitments, but even then they weren't easy. I honestly feel the EOs on Casual were harder than some Hard maps on previous events.

Long routes and hard pre-boss nodes means my fully decked out fleet can get a random taiha even on Casual. E-5 also was extremely long and ate up a surprisingly large number of resources. I can see how the harder difficulties might have been a nightmare for players.
