User blog comment:Adm.SilverGhost/Personal Essay : "Hey, TNK. Teitokus are Turning Away"/@comment-26285824-20180518143955

KC's long history of disappointing fans is always there... Also making it's fans burn in rage.

But then, I think KC has already gone to a point where it's a niche already... but then again, the reason why people are starting moving away from KC is because of a lot of things:

A. It's because the graphics that is already behind times (and goodness, the animation is truly left behind if you ask me,); if people can't expect KC-arcade like gaming on PC, they would transfer over to Azur because they have that almost same mechanics.

B. Resources are always a glaring disparity. because old timers have already unlocked better maps for farming resources... yes, it was a long struggle and even now, I didn't have managed to get there at 300K all resources + 3K bucket. In my case, that numbers isn't much of a big deal if you know how to schedule things. The fact that people don't plan on some things means that they spend more than what they bargained for (AND DEM PEOPLE COMPLAINING TO EVENTS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO SOME PLANNING BEFORE DIVING INTO HARD MODE). Anyhow, with the constrains of resource and resource hogging scheme, they would rather go to other games where resource collection is easier.

C. Leveling is a pain. Admit it. That's why they would find ways to find better game where they can level even while not doing anything (Hey KC, they have done it.)

D. Aesthetic value. Sometimes, people value art and thus; they jump bandwagons when someone made better art. I have seen art from other games, I can't say it's bad or worse, but at times; you can wish that KC dev team can do better job at art (Referring to the case of the skinny (anorexic look) Mikuma art)

E. Not being able to cater to newbies isn't really a bad thing if you ask me. While the game is unforgiving that way, it doesn't mean that the game has left you for good. Let me ask this, isn't games supposedly challenging? Of course while I think there should be at least some support from the game to those who are starting, I think the reason for that is because they are stuck to the old interface, or it's just devs don't want to do that much in those times. In a way, in my point, they should have a newbie bonus at this point (because damn, this game is 5 years and it doesn't have any difference when I joined last Winter 2015) In a way, if you are a smart player, you should at least know few things... Challenge what you can and know the limits of your fleet. A lot of players forget that and they blame game for being too strict ... but in some case, they are just being too negligent too at times... (But hey, who cares about that if you can sortie level 1 girls in a harder map and still get some exp despite them sinking along the way, Also, people do that over Azur Lane...)

F. Some people who have gone fed up with how KC remained unchanged started to move over AL because it's the new trend, and it was a good experience for them. Can't say that they made a better decision for that, but that's how things are. Heck, They know that KC is getting harder and harder that they frustrate over the fact that even their hardships were gone wasted with the rewards.

G. In the end, there's no way you can please everyone... That's life. If there is a game that can please everyone... then it's the last game every been released in the lifetime of humanity.

H. (MY Personal opinion) KC is bad, not really for beginners, has harder mechanics and even terrible events to boot. In the end, I control the majority of my game, not the other way around where the game plays you... That reason why people started to move away from KC because they feel that the game plays them instead of the other way around. Of course, there are people who seeks pride even in gaming... but in my case, I never bothered with pride myself, I just do what I can do and if I can clear it, it's good. Of course, some people are looking for glory, but the road towards glory is never an easy one, sometimes, we tend to get serious over games that it becomes our way of life too. Anyhow, I tried Azur lane too... and I find it too good too. But I decided not to jump bandwagons, because... I don't have that time to devote myself into playing a game... I now heavily prefer casual gaming because it's better for me to play many types of games while they are still that good. I don't think I can go back to Azur Lane at this point. I find the game too easy at this point so... I better let those who can play play that game better.

Anyhow, since my comment went overboard that it looked like a small blog post, In the end; if one doesn't enjoy playing the game, it's better to change games, that's how I do it most of the time and thats what they are doing at this point with the case of KC. I have a lot of things to say why it's not as good as it was before but hey, people have already dismissed this so let them go... we have no obligation to see where they'll go.
