Congrats, Kinkoid. The nerf of EP orb gains (and orb gains in general) is a success... If your goal was to punish non-veteran players for not being veterans, while barely scratching the surface of the giganormous orb (and often koban) stashes of active veterans. So that, you know, the meta and the game's economy get even more polarized between "you started in 2017 and never stopped? God mode for you, forever" and "you started in 2019 or later? we appreciate your constant struggling for anything and everything; it keeps our VIP veterans' God mode exclusive and ensures we'll never get money again from most of them, while they walk all over the rest of our player base in leagues! Yeah, we're weird. Enjoy the game!"... TL;DR: First classic event since I've emptied the Epic Pachinko (and the massive nerfs to orb gains that shortly followed that) where I had to let most of the event pachinko girls go, despite burning my humble EP orb stash at their altar. Meanwhile, even my clubmate Troc who obtained his koban and orb printing machines (aka ability to win regularly in D3) rather recently compared to many still has an obscene amount of EP orbs after grabbing all this event's girls easily. The cutting point for catching up to the God mode of the end game has been efficiently moved farther out of reach for most players (and that's by being optimistic and counting on the level 500 cap to remain in place durably). So, a rather bitter sweet event for me (and many competitive players whose main opponent is still the massive handicap of not being a veteran in this increasingly imbalanced game). The content of the event (what I've seen of it anyway) was pretty good. I'll know in a year or so if the girls I was looking forward to collecting the most (Bonny and Alex) match my high expectations.

Yeah, I've noticed as well. I wanted to start a series of threads and polls for each world (for each scroll actually - surprise! ) once it releases to discuss it's art, themes and highlights, and general haremverse topics. Depriving myself from overdoing it , I think it can be some general story-related topic. @everyone, guys, what do you think? Yay or nay? Do we need it? And can we, forum regulars, do it without spoiling it?

We got ourselves a CxH dedicated part on the forum. Thank you Kinkoid! I've taken the liberty to move some relevant threads here ^^

yeah.. I´ve gotten a whopping 12 orbs in the last 4 weeks from PoP´s ... (that´s 3 drops for me btw) .. it really sucks that the only hope for EpP orbs is all up to rng (rng for the PoP and then for the drop rates again..).. imo there should be a way/ game features that (theoretically) can give you orbs at all times (like from boss fights as we previously had). I don´t even care about PoP awards anymore.. 1 orb PoP is pretty much just 1 drop per week for me (with 15-18 rotations) that pretty disgusting rng imo

You may remember, my friend, a stating I used a few times in the past: sooner or later, in one way or another, this game RNG fucks everyone: longer, harder and all in one. Moreover, I see that I was right when in our first exchanges I foresaw that one day you would have spoken differently about the devs behaviour...

The KK guys definitely have a cruel sense of humor. But who knows. Maybe Trixie has the superpower of un-nerfing things, making the game winnable again.

I made a typo. (fixed)

Considering she was not in any of the MyP rotations during this event, I'm shocked that you didn't manage to get her from those orbs.

I am sure KK only read a few posts (selected with the same RNG he uses in the game with us ) that by chance are the ones that could justify the bad changes, but do not read the myriad of posts complaining for bad changes or suggesting ways to improve. Yes, it seems logical. 🤣

With 100 orbs I got all new EP girls without getting *any* of the event girls 😒. Then I had to use x10 orbs.

finished the event with 495 fights for 2 girls, so almost 50 fights more than average, that's 4 shards every 10 hits instead 4,5 every 10 hits - obv, cause of mythic days there were two refills needed(used also all season rewards + contest rewards). got the 3 girl over pachinko gl everyone still trying

I believe this too. Unfortunately, I'm also absolutely certain from the audio Q&A with him that he's quite out of touch with the current player experience in general, and the meta game and recent features' impact on it in particular. Above all else, the devs in general persistently overlook or severely underestimate how the game's entire economy is warped by the PvP colossal impact and its long-lasting inherent imbalance (which explains quite a lot of harsh nerfs that didn't have the impact they were hoping for, or even reinforced the gross imbalance they fail to acknowledge and fix properly). As for striving to create a good game, yes clearly, but it's still baffling that there are so many basics that they haven't crossed off of their checklist after 5 years. Rosso is even clearly aware that the client is obsolete and comically clunky for a game of this caliber. It's a testament to the fact that HH has a lot of very cool things going for it that it's still around and popular after 5 years despite (also) being a "fap game" in theory, but the last thing on earth anyone could fap to even if they really really wanted to (unless they have a loading screen fetish, maybe ^^). Yet they're not prioritizing that, despite announcing 1K girls by the end of this year... They're prioritizing more new content and more new features more often, which puts more and more pressure on the über shaky foundations of the game's code. That's concerning.

@blaaI think most of us would prefer an honest and direct communication style - somewhere along the lines: we reduced the drop rate because it is way too generous, people were hoarding thousands of orbs. Maybe even provide some stats about the distribution of hoarded orbs etc... Instead they go the pussy way and sneak-nerf stuff, hoping that none will notice. Or provide some bullshit PR statement like the case with the dating tokens.

Exclusivity and the thrill of the chase. The first is kinda bad in a world that is basically about everybody having sex with everybody else. These exclusive girls sound like snobs, but that can't be because it would be in their bios and some of them are new versions of very not snobbish girls. Not that they care about their own lore as they have proven time and again. Dating tokens and very much a part of the thrill of the chase. Hoping to get those tokens to finish off that girl you couldn't quite get or to work that long journey towards getting that mythic, there's the thrill and it's going away because they want more money. If you need money be honest about it because right now everything comes across as being ever more blatantly greedy. It's a bad look and often doesn't end well. I've seen it many times, too many high dollar exclusives chase away the small spenders, prevent new players from becoming spenders, and leave only the whales. Games can't survive on whales alone because losing even one hurts badly without anything to replace them.

The players who update the HH wiki are just normal players of the game, ever since a previous wiki maintainer got himself banned from Discord for being an asshat. There's lots of people who contribute for various reasons, based on what girls they obtained. If you created the core site, maybe random players would contribute to a CXH wiki too. So next time you attempt to reply to another comment take the time to think first instead of acting like a troll and trying to sound smart. Maybe the person commenting to you has a better clue for how things work than you do, easily handled when you apparently have zero clue. Thanks!

you are invited to my club brassy, Id 3049, Redheads are the best

i am afraid, we will hear this now every week, some people complaing about removing dating tokens and insuniating it's just because they want to make more money. Ofc, everybod can say that, it just gets boring (and not right in repeating it). Actually, all we know is that they will remove them and their reason is 'the thrill of the chase'. You can find this a good or a bad reason, but there is nothing that indicates it's just because of the money. Even though companies want to make money (and they have to obviously) not everything they do is just for this reason - or at least for this reason alone. Maybe removing DT will bring something new and exciting on october 27th or in the near future. edit: maybe, it makes sense, why KK doesnt post when they nerf something, if people just shit on every little nerf they do; DT werent that big of a deal anyway, mythic/epic orbs nerf was way worse

My apologies. This club disbanded shortly after I posted.
