mythicgold (5 energies)

Me: I'm going to skip the mythic girl and focus on the anniversary event. KK: Golden Lupa Me:

this daily rewards seem to be part of the anniversary event/month, but who really knows, it's not that they told us anything about it (edit2: maybe I shouldnt be too much focused on my perspecitve, it might be a good strategy to let people in the dark and surprise them) at least we nutkau players get something to 'redeem' edit: that my post doesnt count as useless and gets deleted i steal a code which was posted fby someone else somewhere else: mythicgold / ofc HH only edit:3 removed again, cause edit4: noacc posted it already on a seperate thread in the announcement section edit5: i see why people get confused, there was also a typo in the code - at least that is now corrected

I still think we should do away with shard limit. There is always leftover shards anyway. As for the current system, it's better to ignore the first day and a half. Wait for the frenzy to die down.

i cant confirm this observation, RNG seems to work his normal ways for me (not too good in my regard this week though), I also havent heared anything like this somewhere else. My guess would be some psychological explanation: We tend to remember bad results/outcomes much more often than expected ones (i.e. somebody hitting 3 crits is more likely to remember than somebody hitting 1, and incidentally these who need 3 hits are those with the bad stats) and we tend to overestimate the occurance of these events so, basically, RNG does what RNG does since you had to justify your answer, i will try it too: what are you up to @windia? You gonna spank my ass soon or do you wait until thursday?

11 minutes to deplete the shards this time

The revival is not a relevant data point, it had one third of the shards a new event does. The previous new mythic days girl had tens of thousands left over. In fact, digging back to the old thread, HH had nearly 100k left over

Ugh, every single time this thing is linked, I get a ping.

Ceux qui ne jouent qu'un seul ticket, en fait ils rendent grandement service à ceux qui en jouent beaucoup. Puisque que grâce à eux ceux qui jouent beaucoup vont gagner nettement plus de fragments. C'est ceux qui ne jouent pas du tout, qui d'une certaine façon pénalisent ceux qui jouent. Dans mon club j'ai beaucoup de joueurs qui ne jouent qu'un seul ticket et je les en remercie parce que grâce à eux je peux gagner les filles sans trop de difficulté. Et pour eux c'est un peu comme une loterie, une chance sur mille de gagner la fille à chaque tirage, ce que je ne trouve pas super bien payé pour le service qu'ils me rendent.

Event girls are just added to epic girls pool if I'm not wrong so it is just another chance at a girl in your remaining pool, unless you've cleared out your epic pool. If that is the case I would suggest contacting support if it is a duplicate but I don't think that can happen.

got another 3 girls with 30 orbs (4, 26, 30) I am on a total of 558 orbs: 49 girls / 260 gifts / 246 equip / 5x dating tokens / 8,78% dorp rate // 1694 single orbs remaining

Well Im 2nd in my D1 league right now and sent a ticket. So yeah, you're not wrong. 😂

You're right. The koban payout for D1 #2-4 is the same as #5-15 too. I hope this is a display error. Otherwise, some players will be pissed.

got her, man the game was glitching hard and telling me a completely diffent timer that still had 2 mins, had to refresh and there was 6k active tokens

@Lovely Bone Okay, merci à toi. Je fais un peu de ménage pour que le thread reste propre.

No, we've only got a small sample size so far so it's hard to judge exactly when it drops off. The most recent pool lasted 5 minutes. First day is always fast, then start to last fairly long somewhere in the second day.

I think the current system is the best of the ones we have tried so far. Gives more chance to people no matter what their time zone/personal schedule is, and also gives out slightly more shards overall.

First the Anniversary is late & then when it arrives... I'm beginning to wonder if Bunny wants to break up. "No, Hastur, it's not you, it's me." 🤔😢

How to annoy your playerbase with 2 steps (by Kinkoid): Step 1: Give 1 minute every 2 hours to get a girl. Step 2: 💗Profit💗

Here it is. It has been easy to convince Golden Lupa to join my harem ❤️. Only 1300 battles for exactly 100 shards. I have noted the quicker game response after the battle change patch, good for fast refills and battles, but also the cause of the faster depletion of shards, just one minute. but I expect there will be shards remaining the last day. I have spent 14481 kobans (doing x50 refills and battles), my cheaper Mythic days, getting in addition 310 Dating tokens and 117 MPx1 orbs. And Anniversary Bunny's Mother has also joined. Good luck to all of you in getting Golden Lupa.

You can use Epic Pachinko orbs (EP orbs) during Classic (beginning of the month) and Orgy Days (middle of month) events for a chance to get a girl from the event pool. For that reason emptying permanent epic pachinko pool is one of the long-term goals. Mythic Pachinko orbs (MyP orbs) are used by veteran players when 2-day rotation offers them girls they don't have yet. Either build a stash or use them asap. It's probably best to conserve 3x and 6x MyP orbs to guarantee that you get the girl you absolutely want. But more importantly, during a monthly Legendary Contests event, where one of the contests is giving points for using orbs. GPx10, EP, and sometimes MyP orbs are usually used here. That's it I think.

Finally, there was time to look at the new girls. What can I say - if the programmers messed up, then the artists did not disappoint this time. The festive family of rabbits and wolves are beautiful with or without clothing, and for that I can safely praise KK. Well, I congratulate them and all of us on the anniversary. 5 years for a game is a long time.

🎉🎉🎉 To celebrate our 5th anniversary, during the month of August we have prepared free gift Bundles! 🎂🎂🎂 Every 24 hours a new bundle will appear! 🥂 You can collect your Free bundle from the bundle menu! 🎁💝🎁

I really appreciate a lot of the answers, they are pointing out the problems i see myself. The Q&As were revelatory. More Test-Server-Using and Listening but also trying to understand how the own game works would be two big steps in the right direction, IMO. Also: They could just try to gather a small round of trusted players (from every level) and talk some things through with them. It seems to me that just an sheet with suggestions isnt enough, since they dont really now what people actullay mean with that - there has to be some sort of face-to-face-communication. edit: maybe they could also fire one of the 10 devs, slow the development of new features down and hire somebody for intern and extern communication - or give the people that are already here at least some sort of professional development in this regard. It's not good enough anymore, to say everytime 'we handle it better next time' or 'that was the best way we could handle it'.

Then you haven't played many gachas. I've played several other games where if you don't get rewards by the time the event ends, you don't get them, even if they're waiting to be claimed. I still would prefer it didn't exist entirely. If you're incapable of hitting the claim button, you don't deserve shit.

Well, if you mean what you say, know that you are not alone 🏳️

@Eexa Don't let your disappointment test your patience to make you leave the game. I don't say you had to forget it, but try to pass this page and go on, there will be good days ahead, and we don't want the good players to leave.

Slow but steady into the 800 girls club I think you could find interesting my progression into the game. I have plotted mi level and harem number of girls over time. I don't have data for the first months where I was just a casual player playing the very casual game engine of those times. During the first two years I was getting under 100 girls by year, not even thinking that one day I would be able to empty the pachinko. In the third year the girl number started to grow fast to 200 girls per year, and the last year has been a frenzy with 400 girls per year as Kinkoid bombed us with dozens every month.

Meanwhile, i'm still just waiting for someone to figure out how to Ctrl+C the perfectly functional Search function in the Harem section and copy it over to the Arena, so i can actually find the Girls that get boosted by bonuses instead of being expected to mouse over all 400 of them. Every. Single. Week. On a more serious note however, this has become a prime example of natural decay in businesses. When a company starts up, it's led by engineers, developers and whatnot, people that actually make the product. Then, marketing guys come rolling in, and because they know how to maximize profit, they start getting promoted to leadership positions. And what eventually always seems to happen, is that at some point the people that make the decisions are the marketing guys, who only think about numbers and spreadsheets and have no idea what it was that made the product attractive to begin with. So new systems and changes end up being introduced to make more money because that's how marketing works, people start to leave because they're not having (as much) fun anymore, which is then followed by more changes because the graph for profit is beginning to dip. And between that and Price's Law it usually ends up in a death spiral which it's very hard to get out of again: Even Forbes 500 companies only last for an average of 30 years. For me, personally, i had a feeling this was going on back when Mythics were introduced. Just before the Xmas Holidays iirc, here was a Girl with better stats and a limited amount of shards available total. Two new features implemented at the same time for the sole purpose of maximizing koban spending with no real long term planning behind it, because hey, we could always just add another star, right? From an economics perspective, it will be interesting to see what happens next. As a player, however... Not so much.

you are not losing points, other gain in these cases; if they weren too aware before, they probably wont be yet the disbalance is getting higher between higher level players and mid-/low level players, i got mostly 19-21 points against unboosted high levle players, now i mostly get 15, on the other they got mostly 20-22 against me, they now get 25. for lower level players it's even worse

🤣🤣🤣 Maybe they should ask the developers? 🙄🙃

@SoggyShorts Agreed! When will the market be fixed/brought back to normal? When will it be possible to catch up to the early starters? When will the league imbalance be fixed? When will the CC be fun again? When will the issues/bugs be fixed? (most notably: weird scoring system in leagues, clear P2W/veteran players mythics imbalance, CC and champion ticket sinkhole). I also feel like the core of the game is lost. It is a collection game not PVP. But when I collect a new girl, I think: great the sinkhole of I "only" need to upgrade 78 girls, just increased to 79....

So, to recap: - ToF remains a walled garden for the Koban Klub. If a player aspires to the top ranks, incumbency is better protected than ever. Spend what you want, and please do, but you're not going to get there because you need all the Mythic girls, maxed, PLUS a variety of rare girls because of the Blessings (and soon, Curses). A lineup of Commons and 3* Legendaries just isn't going to get you there. By design. - The resource pinch in the Market makes the market refresh work-around to KK's undervaluing of XP 25% more expensive. Silver lining: Plat card holders no longer have incentive to buy them because the market refresh discount perk has become meaningless. - Champs, be they sex champs or CC's, are perma-nerfed. Per @Eexa's note, that's by design. Fine if you're drowning in tickets. If you're a newer player and chasing those girls PLUS the CC's, you're boned. But that doesn't matter because the nerf is designed to bleed tickets from people who have thousands of them. - In addition to the silent nerf above, casualties of the new PvP combat system include: -- Complete loss of game context when fighting, well, anywhere. No judges, no class, no chapter villains, no chapter girls. Gone. You're just fighting. -- Near-total loss of the game's theme of "fuck, don't fight" when ...fighting. No more bringing anyone to orgasm and tapping in another girl. No. Someone does something, someone loses ego (i.e. hit points), rinse, repeat, the end. It's Mortal Kombat without the side scrolling goodness. -- Shift AWAY from the game's core (which in my opinion isn't the story we click on 3 or 5 times per day, but collecting girls) to ...fighting. But gimped at every turn. Yes, you can still collect girls, but upgrade them ...how? Level them ...how? And given that, collect them ...why? To engage in the game's new priority of fighting? Why? And on the topic of silent nerfs, why not grow the balls to mention them in the patch notes? Do these developers think that we won't notice? That we're stupid? It's insulting. If it's made clear that our ability to do something has been diminished, we'll kvetch, but we won't waste our time arguing it to death (as much). We won't wonder if it's a bug or a feature. Because with this set of developers, you never know. Good things have been added to the game. PoP's have given us capabilities and strategies that we didn't have before. Seasons turned out okay (until some tin ear nerfed the koban rewards right after a double payout bug). Shards are good, as are tokens. But the thrust of the last few months has been, "We're going to build the game WE want, which is loaded at every turn with INDUCEMENTS to spend money." I can be enticed to do so, but twist my arm and I'm out. The tone has been, "We, sitting in our newly remodeled basement, have a clearer view of the in-game reality than the people who pay our rent and salaries by actually PLAYING the game." Wrong again. Imbalances, positive or negative, become WORSE with every 'great idea' that's rushed through testing with constructive feedback ignored. I'm much calmer as a free player. By not paying into the hubris and constant state of Beta, I'm less engaged when (WHEN!) yet another thing goes pear-shaped. As a paying player, I dreaded patch notes: "Oh, shit, NOW what?" As a free player, I giggle and watch it burn. And when the last of my enthusiasm is gone, so am I.

Just fyi: if upgrading to 3 stars is that much of an investment for you, I'm assuming your still early game. It might be better to focus on upgrading all the 5 star Commons first, which is very very very much cheaper, they give you better money and a 5 star Common, or Starter, is worth more than any uncompleted Epic, Legendary or even Mythic.

FWIW, I have my champions at levels 31, 24, 19, 17, 14 and 12. They become quite strong .

No need to threat anyone, but I already made my mind... If they do not compensate honest players finishing second, I am out. That would be the drop of water that breaks the camel's back. They would not be worth my time and money... 😤 Edit: I won't pollute the thread more with my personal "drama", so I edit this message, but I wish you all good luck and have fun despite the bugs, the increasing paying actions and mechanisms, and the small dictators behaviour you can face from time to time... I will miss the community more than she will miss me 😅
