User:Grunilg/Hishimochi Post Event Survey

Overview

This is the Page containing the Analysis of the Hishimochi-Mini-Event Post-Event Survey held by User:Grunilg, which can be found here. It's main goals were to answer the following questions:

• Map Difficulty Choice/Completion Status
• Quest Completion Status
• Main Method used to clear P3 Boss
• Average Clear Costs pre/post-FF
• Impact on individual map&quest Ratings on overall Rating of the Event

alongside some other metrics, which will also be outlined in this article.

First the source of the survey participants will be evaluated and in a second step the official map clear rates will be compared to the ones provided by the survey to determine how representative this survey is. The final difficulty choice will also be evaluated in that section.

The second section will be evaluating the quest progression, as there are no official statistics provided by the developers.

The third section will be evaluating the main methods employed to clear the P3 Boss.

The fourth section will be determining the average Event-Clear costs and will be comparing them across the respective difficulties. There will also be a comparison of the pre-Friend Fleet and post-Friend Fleet costs for Hard Mode.

The fifth and final section of the main part will be used to evaluate connections between the three ratings given in the survey: Map, Quests and Overall.

Survey Representation

As of 11:41CEST 20/04/04 a total of 353 have been filled out and will be used for evaluation. The majority (75%) of participants accessed it via the initial reddit thread, followed by announcements on various discord servers. Unfortunatly it was not possible to persuade a certain big KC Facebook page to share the survey, so it seems to have been shared on rather localized groups. It should also be noted that the survey has been shared on the Kancolle Channel on vk.com and has been mentioned a couple of times unedr "others". In conclusion, this survey is mostly answered by the english speaking Kancolle reddit community.

9,6% of those who filled out the survey did not participate in the Event. All evaluation concerning the Quests or the Map will be done with a Dataset that excludes their answers. The progression across the 4 Parts of the Map for those who participated in the Event can be seen in the following figure "Map Progression" alongside the perceived difficulty of that part. The completion and difficulty choice will also be compared to the official statistic. For Difficulty choice, the total percentage will be calculated without "Did not finish", as opposed to the figure "Difficulty Selection". The results can be seen in the table following the two figures

	P1	P2	Unlock	P3
KC Twitter	90%	85%	77%	73%
EN Survey	99%	98%	97%	93%

	Casual	Easy	Medium	Hard
KC Twitter	~10%	~18%	35%	40%
EN Survey	1%	9%	43%	46%

The completion rates are significantly higher than the official ones and on average higher difficulty settings have been selected. This is in tune with the last survey and expected result, as a higher engagement in the game is to be expected from players willing to fill out the survey (and deal with foreign IP Blockage, but more on that in Section 6: Misc).
