OK guys,
Here's some news for those who haven't been following the latest news from Mel-Febri Magazine. Apperently there was interview with one of the Kancolle staffers and we learned a few things about what's going to happen over the next few months:
1. There is some kind of Christmas event that's being planned, not much is known about it at the moment. Speculation mentions a collaboration between Kancolle and Arppegio of Blue Steel. Wether it relates for the events or not is unknown.
2. There's mention that when building resources, the staff mention in the article they're going to eventually make it so you can use resources in the quad digits. And that this will be necessary to build Grand Battleships (this to me also suggests that Musashi and Yamato will eventually become craftable once this system is implemented).
3. Marriage System: This made me turn my head when I first heard about it, but it may not be that kind of "marriage" Supposedly you will only be able to do this when your Kanmusu hits level 99. It may have something to do with increased stats and a higher level cap.
4.New Big Event in the plans to be release before March...
The Battle of Midway The staff has given us some info regarding this event as well, which consist of this..
Bauxite will be
MUST for this event battle. So stock up!
Suicide Fleets are
HIGHLY DISCOURAGED so if your records show you been killing Kanmusu left and right, you might not be able to participate in this event. (And yes, there's a "hidden record" that apperently shows how many girls you killed that you cannot see.
There are other hidden stats players may have been unaware of that are also hidden for example, CL's won't be using maximum potential of 20.3 cm cannons, and effectiveness of main/secondary weapon is not absolute.
The staff is experimenting with mobile boss units as in Bosses that'll move torward you and not to them. And in these cases they will likely not have an HP bar.
Also the Battle of Midway Event will introduce us to a new class, Armored Aircraft Carriers, so with that, we might end up expecting Taiho along with other Armor Aircraft Carriers to get during this event.
That's pretty much what has been revealed as of this point.
As for this week's maintenance the staff hinted there will be one ship girl that'll get an upgrade for this update.
The hints are this: She was part of the 5th Fleet, she was a 5,500t class CL, she participated in the Northern Campaign, and she was going to be made into a Torpedo Cruiser, but never had the chance.
OH also there's this:
