Now it's worrisome. Changing VPN too much may get you banned if you accidentally have IP is same with a hacker... But if you just use the same API you have a chance to be banned as well?

Finally just got Yamato too, hope this is not a bad sign

**Klashikari** · 2014-05-15, 08:42

Changing VPN isn't exactly a better option either since it will simply make your IP even more weird server side, since you keep "changing geolocalization" in the process. It isn't about being a cheater whatsoever, but the fact you might be account sharing and/or selling an account to someone else.
The best option is to stick with the same VPN and use it when only very few people are using it, or simply use a private VPN.

Also, I don't think it is any use to file a complaint: DMM ToS forbid the use of their japanese website to non japan residents. We are all "illegal" players right from the get go.

demino_hellsin · 2014-05-15, 08:48

I only change VPN when the connection starts flopping. Right now I start leaving the VPN off when I'm already in game. Will it get me banned?

Also, are remodels that change ship class the only ones with a separate entry into the encyclopedia? For some reason I want to collect them all and have been leveling my unwanted kanmusu for remodel before deciding to use them as modernization fodder.

**Klashikari** · 2014-05-15, 08:53

It isn't an absolute rule, but some Kanmusu has another entry for their kai counterpart when it has visual change, however minimal it can be (prime examples of that: Yamato and Bismarck).

That said, not all of them have such treatment: few of them (like Shiratsuyu) have their alternate artwork shown within the original entry, although you still need to remodel them to have these unlocked.

So simply put, if you want to unlock everything, you have to remodel those who have an alternative CG.

demino_hellsin · 2014-05-15, 08:57

So check wikia often? O.O?

Gonna work on Hatsuharu squadron after Oboro, already finished with the 4 Fubuki class that aren't starter.

I think my current problem is that I'm leveling so many ships at once it's stunting my progress. Then again I've just decided to play casually. Going PVP has yielded me dropping in the rankings no matter how many wins I get in the daily 10 battles offered.

Not really, I only used VPNs a few times in total, mostly when I need to buy something in-game.
Now if that was the reason, then it's a lose-lose situation for me: either admit to them that I'm non-JPese and get banned, or not and...also get banned >.>

Spoiler for :

This is the quest that I was talking about: A16- Have all four Kongou-class battleships in your main fleet. Includes Kongou (金剛), Hiei (比叡), Haruna (榛名), and Kirishima (霧島)

I seriously want that 4th fleet.

**Klashikari** · 2014-05-15, 11:03

Remove everyone but a Kongou sister, Remove the quest from your roster and select it again, put the Kongou sisters without anyone else in the fleet.
Otherwise, I don't see any other possible solution, save perhaps cleaning your cache. That or dropping another Kirishima and Hiei.

Unless you forgot to do Myoukou quests, but since you stated A16, I assume you have the correct quest in your roster already...

Chiu_fan · 2014-05-15, 11:19

Just tried it and didn't work, removing the carriers and clearing my cache. I went back to the wikia page to read comments and I saw that some players are experiencing the same problem though some aren't affected by it though.

I change VPNs whenever connection gets flaky on my current one, but usually I can last through a whole day with a single VPN connection. Not a bad thing I'd say.

KBTKaiser · 2014-05-15, 18:53

Oh, Chiu fan, the problem with your quest is probably Kirishima being Kai Ni. Sometimes they forget to include the new related card entries for composition quests.

demino_hellsin · 2014-05-16, 05:47

Have any of you experienced having a shortage of bullets?

**Klashikari** · 2014-05-16, 05:56

It does happen if you don't abuse expedition 2 and/or are using too many BB and CLT.

Myssa Rei · 2014-05-16, 06:10

Welp, it looks like I got banned from the game. I was able to play fine before I left for two days to attend my cousin's wedding. When I came back, and relog-in to get a new API, boom. Banned message. And I'm not using anything illegal either.

So pissed off right now.

**Klashikari** · 2014-05-16, 06:18

How often do you reset your API? Also since you are abusing refresh for PVP, that's potentially another reason for that.

Very rarely. I was actually going to change my API today, but that image torpedoed my chances for that. Sigh.

RapidPotential · 2014-05-16, 07:42

So yeah, I decided to go clear 3-2 with full sparkled DDs. One try. Red-T on first two nodes (couldn't believe my luck) and almost finished the boss node in day battle.

demino_hellsin · 2014-05-16, 07:46

I find it odd that my ammo stores are up and beyond all my other resources

fuel 12k
steel 8k
bauxite 4.5k

ammo is at 17k and has never dropped below 2k above everything else. No idea why this annoys me but it does.

usspaul · 2014-05-16, 07:58

I remember always having my bauxite being always a lot higher then my other resources but now its my lowest since the double attack function was implemented. kinda wish bauxite would recover faster too. btw does anyone know a good map to farm bauxite? ive been spamming 2-2 but was hopeing for a better map that yields more ive also been doing a lot of expedition 6 and 11 too

risingstar3110 · 2014-05-16, 20:57

Even Myssa Rei got banned as well. This could get serious.

I means we have quite a small circle here, and already 2 got banned

Edit: Myssa, do you use KanColle viewer?

Spoiler for quote: Guys, does the 4th fleet quest bugged? I have Kongou, Haruna , Kirishima(Kai Ni) and Hiei(Kai Ni)... but I can't clear that quest.... 17 days ago by NoctusLunar I have the same problem. Maybe it's bugged or the quest doesn't allow the kai ni ships. I hope not. 17 days ago by A Wikia contributor Definitely not a bug. My Kongou was Kai Ni, Hiei and Kirishima was just Kai, and I just got Haruna last week (not Kai yet). Was able to unlock my 4th fleet no problem. 15 days ago by A Wikia contributor Mine was bugged, too. Maybe cause my Kongou/Kirishima/Hiei were Kai 2. Changed them with lvl1 each, then it worked. 13 days ago by A Wikia contributor __________________
