I don't seem to get it. 12 hours ago, Wellington99 said: Well at least in my head, PvP means that you are playing against a player. In Kancolle you take your fleet and fight against a player's fleet automatically. There's no input from the other player. You also can't choose who to fight against, there's a list of 5 that rotate every 12 hours or so that you pick from. So me and Nel couldn't fight our fleets against each other unless we were on that list. I know this sort of system from another game. It's okay I guess since I'm not much of an PvP-player. The other player usually leaves a predetermined set of unit in an predetermined order for anyone else to fight. It's main advantage is, you can't cheat the point based system by bullying small players. The system usually pics you some players in your ranks and pretty early on you have to face equal or superior opponents. But of course it would be fun to pick your archnemesis. Also thanks everyone for answering my popcorn question. If you want something salty-cheesy in german cinemas: Nachos with cheese or salsa saw the gap left open by the sweet popcorn in cinemas and took it.

powerunderwhelming 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2017 I've read from the KS comments that the game has built-in support for Belle damaged art. The question is do we really need it? I won't lie that I often got turned on by damaged arts from Kancolle-like games but with VB whose focus is more on story I feel like watching Belles sustain clothing damage is kinda out of place. Of course you can always have option to turn it on/off I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrYuriMom 21 Report post Posted July 28, 2017 It's been stated that the damage art will not be nearly as "cheesecake" as KC. It is one reason why I love this game so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or food which pretends to be so. So I really had troubles to put "white cheddar popcorn" in that category. But hey, who knew: It's a brand.

Since you *could* do it I'd just like to say I like damage models. Because I totally tend to lose sight of health bars in any sort of game. Any kind of damage model. One on the ships for example (instead of the Walküren). And I also love cheescake... the real one... and obviously the double entendre..... thank you for that lesson as well @DrYuriMom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(From update 72) "One last point: if somebody dredged up a big enough chunk of a sunken ship, and possessed the correct Vestures... ...well, some unsettling but potentially informative things could happen."

DrYuriMom 21 Report post Posted July 30, 2017 If you can find the right Vestures, I think the point is that any ship of sufficient original complement or size could be awoken. So the next question - how would such Vestures be identified? So much publicly unknown about vestures... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zidaryn 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2017 Standard fair for popcorn is salted and butterd. However, I REALLY like caramel corn. Popcorn covered with caramel. I'd actually like it if they did a co-operative multiplayer battle. For example, you and 1 to 3 other (are we Captains or Admirals?) que up and each take, say one or two ships, and try to take down a boss type Morgana together. I'd like that more than an arena sort of set up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wellington99 29 Report post Posted September 1, 2017 Couple questions (which probably will have been answered before (inb4 Lipstig)): 1) Is resource income dependent on starting nation and our diplomacy or is it a steady income regardless? I.e. Poland players will have lower resource income rates than US players 2) Will resource income be a fixed rate that goes up with level and what diplomatic channels you are able to open and can be supplemented with things like expeditions (like Kancolle's resource income) or will it be a lump sum available every X minutes/hours where the amount is dependent on those same things (like Armor Blitz and Z Girls)? Example 1: I leave the game running for an hour to build up my fuel which is at 1000 and I have a rate income of 35 fuel per minute. When I return, I have 3100. Example 2: Same situation except I have a flat sum income of 5000 fuel that I can collect every 2 hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legate of Mineta 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2017 W99; 1) Base Income does vary by Nation, but it always totals the same. Even Poland. 2) I'm not 100% sure I understood this one, but Resources go up by time, if that's the question. It's like your first example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wellington99 29 Report post Posted September 1, 2017 Basically the likes of Armor Blitz and Z Girls make you collect resources instead of there being a constant stream like in the first example. You have to click on the oil rigs to get the fuel instead of every hour getting X fuel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not, then they will need to modify them- but I would think in the next week or two, they can send you something. Sorry, it will take a little time as the Editors have to approve its release.

OrangeOperator17 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2017 As we know, forging the relationships with the Belles in battle and spending time away from the battlefield are the ways we get to know our beloved belles in a day of their lives... What I'm really getting at is, would it be possible that we could receive a little snippet of the script with Mahan? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
