Introduction
Hello everyone and welcome to the 2022 Summer Event Evalution!
Actually this is the Summer/Early Fall Event Survey Evaluation, the devs sneaked in the fact that the EO was the Early Fall event which i missed when naming the survey. Thank you all for participating and sharing!
The survey closed on 18.10.2022 20:00:00 CEST. A total of 354 people sent in replies, with the majority (55%) sourcing it from various discord server announcements, while the rest got it from reddit (36%) and other sources (9%).
The plots and accompanying commentary are arranged in galleries this time. Please click through them to see all images.
Event Overview
While close to 80% of survey participants ckeared the event, there has been a significant amount of people who have not reached their own set goals for this event (35%). The official clear rate this Event was said to be 71% this event, so keep a surveybase with higher engagement than the regular playerbase in mind when reading this evaluation.
Mirroring official clear rates the most commonly picked difficulty on all maps was hard. E6 seemed to be the map that would have the biggest increase of people not finishing the event.
Newcomer Review

(1/3) Without a doubt, Ranger has won over most admirals with her aesthetics (praise the Buns). There was no close second, the only outlier for the remaining ships is Natsugumo being about half as popular as the rest.

(2/3) When it came to assessing the usefulness in upcoming content, it is mostly an even split between Ranger and Langley, with a strong third place by Massachusetts. In retrospect, the options "can't decide" and "none" should have been split in this question, as it was the second most commonly picked answer with both parts of it meaning widely different things.

(3/3) As usual, the guaranteed reward ships have been acquired by most survey participants. In terms of ships that needed to be dropped, the acquisition rate hovered between 50% and 65% for them.

(1/1) Ranger, we meet again. Her abyssal form also won over the most, this time however with the Incomplete Battleship Princess being a close second.

(1/4) The Yamato-Class special attack would be the favoured one used in this phase, with pretty much all who did medium and above choosing it, with the Nagato-Class being a distant second.

(2/4) Unsurprisingly this trend would continue onto E5 as it shared the same lock, although hard mode admirals would choose non-Yamato-class more often (but still rarely) here.

(3/4) The final boss would almost equally be handled by Yamato and the Nagato-class Special attack with Nelson being a distant second. There has been a non-insignificant portion of hard mode admirals on this map that utilized a duplicate Yamato to clear this phase (While not specifically asked for in the survey, this data has been obtained by filtering for survey participants who selected H on E6 and already used Yamato on E5)

(4/4) I do not think commentary is required on this plot.
