  1. I've got Alexa: 786 Fights, 6965 Kobans for refills (Including 11 remaining fights at the end), 5SP. Total: 9665 Kobans. Drop rate: 6.36% (12.62% for the first 26 shards I knew it wouldn't hold ) Pretty expensive (as expected for a revival with a lot less free combativity available), but I'm still pretty happy with the result. I didn't have to use x50 fights; shards remained long enough (Over 15 minutes) around the end. And with that, I now have 7 Mythic girls! (And not enough affection to upgrade them, nor enough XP, and not enough Kobans for anything. But who cares? )

  2. Try as I might, I can't figure out how I'm supposed to squeeze 5, 8 and 15 - totaling 28 - champion performances into 6 days. At the moment even without bothering to optimize the match up of girls when challenging the champions I'm one-shot defeating them... resulting in a 24 hour cool-down. That's a max of 2 each day. It'd take me a fortnight to complete just the champion tiers of the event, let alone the rest.

  5. And another OG player left our playerbase. Sad to see it's Slynia. But it increases my chances to finally shine 😎✨ ... Wait, nobody even knows who I am? But I've been here for 4 years now! So this is how anime characters feel when they are introduced in the first arcs but are still unrecognizable because they don't do anything special 🤣 Thank you Slynia for being here and showing us your journey! It surely inspired many of us that it is possible to "finish" this game ❤️

  9. Congratulations to everyone who got her. I knew I wasn't going to get her, given how the shards were flying off the shelves, so I will gladly take my 7 shards and be content.

  10. I had given up on Mythic Pachinko because of the extraordinary low drop rate ( I think I already had a streak of 500+ orbs without a single girl 😨 ). But with a 5 star legendary, I had to try. 127 MP1x and Viola showed up, and 20 more for Fanny & Fione. That's a welcome change in drop % 😁. I don't remember if these 127 orbs are consecutive of the 500+ unlucky streak or if I had a drop in the meantime.

  12. Ok here is the way to not one-shot the champions: Gear: Use six only harmony pieces. Second choice would be mixed harmony/endurance. Girls selection: try to select at least seven girls of level 1 (at my setup they were shown as 11.1k power), prefer hardcore over charm, and avoid know-how (especially for those level 1 girls). You don't want to recover health and you want to have low defense so the champion is slowly but steadily sapping your ego. It doesn't matter that you do double damage some rounds. That way I have done 333k damage over total 1701k (only 20%) to the first champion ego and 460k over 1800k (only 25%) to the second one.

  13. I was able to get her. This time i don't know how much i used so i can only say 4 boosters and only single fights. It was really hard for me, i was never able to be at the screen in the reset time and the shards were always at 0. As i said previously now i want to get all the Mythics (even if this means i'll have to skip some events) but this Alexa made me understand that probably i won't be able to do it (in the revivals). Now my main concern goes to when Nike revival will happens. Without taking away anything from Alexa, she is good, very well done and a famous parody (cortana) from halo (even if i never liked Halo, sorry fans ), Nike is (imo) way more wanted and famous. So the Nike's shards will disappear even faster than Alexa's ones, my conclusion is that probably i'll not be able to have my Nike T.T Let's hope i'm wrong XD

  14. I didn't really try to get Alexa this time around since RL cut into my play time. I did get a couple of drops on her while going after some gems so my total is now 52/100.

  15. With 928 girls currently in my harem, I see maybe 2 girls available in a year, it feels like. I've taken to spending 300 orbs during contests, mainly for the gems. That extra confirmation click when there's no girl available is a pain in the ass though.

  16. A pox on you Kinkoid for forcing me to go on the paid path while trying to save money for a potential Mythic by knowingly placing a variant of one my favorite girls there. Still, good to see Tachibana get some love, finally.

  18. Poa time !!! I like all the girls but this time probably i won't go for the paid path (awww my heart is sad T.T). The missions seems the usual at first sight, so the time will be just enough (from my perspective). No paid path because i got 2 Mythic this month so.... The sad thing is that the 2 girls that i like the most are... Guess where ? yeah in the paid path XD I can only hope that they are going to appear in OD or pachinko and not in some "super expensive koban thing". This will be the first "paid path Poa" that i'm "forced" to miss. Hard time ahead. Good luck with your missions !!

  19. At least in 2 months we should see Moe Bunny, who's playful (If Mythic Revivals continue on a predictable schedule, that is...). Now I just hope the next Mythic girl won't be voyeur I'd be 100% fine to skip a Playful Mythic girl in February and be ready for Moe Bunny and a Voyeur girl in March.

  21. Congrats! You've beaten me to 7!! We're seeing the same on Nutaku. 40min since the last refill and we have: I've just been arguing with myself about whether I should go for her (there's a complimentary DC on as well which was nudging me), but I've decided not to. I have 6 Mythics. I'm missing Eccentric, Playful and Voyeur (I have 2 Physical). The next two months are almost certain to kick out a Playful and a Voyeur and they're expected to be cheaper than chasing Alexa today. Tough choice, but I think I have to hold on to my resources.....

  23. ... I hope that's not all they intend to do. If the champions still stay one-shot knock-overs it's still a big problem. Do tasks 1 to 5. Do Champions x2 Do tasks 7 and 8. Wait for Champion cool-down to finish. Easy enough, about 24 hours. Do Champions x2 Then, however, you have to wait 24 hours of cool-down. You've lost an entire day with no other progress on tasks. Then do Champions x2 again. 24 hours waiting for Champions to cool-down again. Meanwhile do tasks 10 to 14. Here we go again. Do Champions x2 Wait 24 hours of cool-down. Do Champions x2 Wait 24 hours of cool-down. Do Champions x2 That's 5 full days just between the doing task 6 and task 15 if you are ready to do them the instant the cool-down finishes. That leaves 24 hours when the champions aren't in cool-down where you can afford to be in the middle of other tasks. Worse still for me. I don't think I can do it. I've got 22 hours of cool-down on the Champions right now, because I did them just before roll-over. So in 5 days time, I'll still have about 40 minutes of cool-down on Champions, waiting to do Champion fight 5 & 6 for task 15... right with PoA finishes. That's just the math as I see it. Ugly math.

  24. We did it guys, we finally did it. Max level: Check ✔️ 100+ D3 wins: Check ✔️ 1000 girls recruited: Check ✔️ I guess that's all for the goals I set for myself then? Well well, so the day has finally come has it? A day I hoped would never come, but also a day that should've come sooner. I started playing this game on July 14th, 2017, which makes it over 4.5 years. Recently I've realized what I already knew but refused to admit, I am addicted to this game, which affects me IRL in a negative way. I can't remember the last day that I didn't think about HH in a way, that I still need to do this and that, check every snapshot, set an alarm to not miss one, decline IRL invites in case they would hinder me from doing all my daily missions, taking small breaks at work to check leagues and start missions. The list goes on. The game has become too time consuming for my well being, both because of my personal choices (so indirectly more time consuming) and also because of the many new features that has been added over the years. It only took several negative fairly recent patches for me to admit to myself that this game is harmful for me. Which is why I set up these goals that I wanted to reach, think of it as a bucket list of sorts. Now when my 3rd and final goal is reached, I've decided to call it a day so to say. Wow! What a journey this has been! There has been many ups and downs like any game with weekly patches, but I'm proud to say that I've been a part of this since its early days. I've gotten to know many of you over the years, and I've come to respect many of you a whole lot. I won't tag anyone because it's just too many, you know who you are. This has been great, but I am leaving for my own sake, I need to get rid of this addiction and hopefully become less stressed over minor things. Yes, finishing all dailies is a minor thing, but has been treated like it's super important by me for years now, I can't even remember the last time I didn't finish them all, probably way back in 2018 I guess. During my time as a mod on the forum, I've edited the FAQ thread 142 times, and The Performance Handbook 123 times. I've given out exactly 100 warnings (Maybe should've been included in the bucket list?), banned 4 users and numerous bots/spammers. I'm not gonna dig thru all posts that I've been hiding or moved tho DvDivXXX, holymolly, FinderKeeper and Kenrae. The EN forum is now all yours, you will do great without me. You can also do whatever you want with the handbook (obviously). I wish you all the best, it has been my pleasure to have been able to share this experience with you. As much as I've been helped and taught a lot in my early days of the game, I hope I was able to give some of that back to some of you guys. I love you all 🥰 And with that, I leave you. *Slynia has left the chat*

  25. Since several months all events give us girlboys instead of men. I think soon there will be no difference between GH and HH Kinkoid is not motivating to take parts in the events. It should be at least 50/50 % of girlboys and real men.

  29. @jelom Once again you have the best advice. Replacing all my gear with harmony-only stats meant I'll get ~6 performances out of the champions today instead of 2. Still think it's all kinds of silly that you have to intentionally 'cock-block' yourself and waste extra tickets to complete an event... but that's Kinkoid for you.

  31. Epic Boosters are the first items to disappear (entirely). I also only have Mythic and Legendary boosters. But their cost doesn't really matter: if you level all 3 (permanent) places of power to lvl 9, the Mythic Pachinko orbs will give you a lot of free legendary boosters (~50% chance per orb). That should be more than you can use. And if you don't have your places of power at lvl 9, first I'd recommend you to invest a bit more in there (it's a great long-term investment), and second it probably means that at your level, Boosters are a waste of Kobans anyway.

  35. Some folks over on the Discord have already cottoned onto the fact that for the newer players who haven't completed 'World 3 Quest 5: “A Boost for Two”' they can't even DO any Champion fights yet, meaning that for them PoA is literally unplayable, not just technically so, like it is for the high-level established players. The more this goes on the clearer it is how poorly thought everything has been.

  38. I think a little too many players underestimate the impact of Player Level these days. Sure, Awakenings changed the meta a LOT, but Player Level still matters quite a lot. And the final 75-50 levels are a ridiculously slow-burn grind to go through. ANY bit of extra XP you can get is more precious than some of you might assume. I strongly recommend having one XP mythic booster equipped at all times, AND taking the extra XP from both PoV paths (as long as it's possible and somewhat reasonable, which is a tall order for our dear Kinkoid game designers unfortunately...) AND ensuring you take as close to zero loss as possible in every single League... and obviously snatching any extra bit of XP you can from the upcoming Daily Goals as well, as long as you're not Level 500. Thinking about this in terms of "X sets you back only 2-3 levels" or "Y sets you back only 2-3 months" is an inherently incorrect way to look at it in my most humble yet honest opinion. To each their own and all that, but this game is a marathon. What I'm able to accomplish now at Level 456 is very significantly more and easier and less costly than when I was Level 448, and I would be a lot more comfortable and in a much better position if I were at Level 475 instead. Once you reach max player level, among many other things: your market stats are maxed out for life, your equipment stays relevant indefinitely (you can still get upgrades every now and then, but it will become rarer and rarer and less and less significant), you get the most out of all of your PoPs, your Total Power is much better than any lower-level player can achieve with the same girls at the same girl-level... I'm getting a little bit tired of that "player level no longer matters" misconception spreading far and wide. It still matters, and once we reach the end of the current Girl-Level arms' race, it will matter A TON again. As a good competitive PvP player, you do NOT want to slow down your excruciatingly slow catch-up process on that. You might think you do right now, but you'll come to regret it sooner or later. /2 cents.

  41. Just to be sure, how should we take this horrible little thing? Is this something we should not worry about, since it is a mock up and it won't be like that (but even in a "mock up, not indicative of the final product" scenery, why is like that?), or should we actually prepare for the worse?. I'm honestly (and with an incredible amount of fear) expecting a rise of the restock cost, since it is SOOOO much more convenient restocking than buying those mythic books and gifts at their current prices. But this thing seems a bit too much...? I'm afraid. Please tell me that I don't have to be this afraid. Tell me that this thing does not exist and hence it cannot hurt me. Please.

  42. I don't understand who voted for girls equipment? Bad idea that will turn this game into an even more micromanaged nightmare. When implemented I am sure you will have to have it upgraded to the max to compete in leagues. This will keep the whales whaling I guess. 1,000 girls 5-10 equipment slots each depending on how they do it.... I am getting a headache just thinking about it.

  43. Over the past month since Awakenings have been introduced there's something that's been bugging me quite a bit: dud blessings. A dud blessing is one that doesn't affect very many strong girls, so most of the girls you run on your team aren't blessed at all. This creates boring weeks where you run basically the same kind of team with the same list of girls. There might be one or two blessed girls in your lineup, but one dud week isn't much different from the next. The girls that do benefit from the blessing have too low stats to be strong enough to perform even with the boost. To some extent this was expected, dud blessings were always a thing even before awakenings were introduced, and now we can only level up some of the girls in our harem. My battle teams are already 150 levels above the rest of my harem, and soon some of them will be 200 levels above. Even the strongest blessings can't overcome such a big level difference. As an example, this week on Nutaku is week of the Grey eyes (+30%) and week of the Jackhammer (+20%). One look at Zoopokemon's spreadsheet tells you all you need to know. Demi is the only blessed girl in the top 10 for this week, and in the top 50 of this week there are only 5 blessed girls. Even if you were awakening all the right girls, less than half of your battle team this week would be blessed. This is not an anomaly, this has been the norm since awakenings were released. There is something wrong with that in my view, a diverse team that is covering as many qualities as they can should be able to make good use of blessings on a regular basis. The problem isn't choosing the right girls to awaken, it's that some qualities are just so rare to begin with that you won't have them. I wanted to quantify the problem in a way that isn't anecdotal and demonstrates how severe it really is and how the new awakening system is undermining the blessing system. So my first step is to develop an objective ranking system for the girls to categorize them from most useful in PVP to least useful. There are two factors: the cost to awaken, and how strong the girl is. The strength of the girl is the most important factor, but if the power level is similar but the costs very far apart it can justify tiering them separately. The Tier 1 girls are the mythic girls, which are obviously the best girls. Tier 2 will be defined as girls who can become stronger than a mythic with a single average blessing (+30%), and that turns out to be all 5-star Legendary and Epic girls. Tier 3 and Tier 4 girls are those that can become stronger than a mythic with an average double-blessing (+69%) which is the 5-star Rares, 5-star Commons, 3-star Legendaries, and 3-star Epics. The costs to awaken these girls differs substantially (and you don't even get higher stats with the more expensive girls; the cheaper ones are as good or better), so I split these into two tiers with the Rares and Commons being Tier 3 and the Epics and Legendaries Tier 4. Everyone else goes into Tier 5. This creates a very simple tier list that correlates well with the actual PVP value of the girls in question, while being very easy to filter through: Tier 1: Mythic girls Tier 2: 5-star Legendary and Epic girls Tier 3: 5-star Rare and Common Rare Girls Tier 4: 3-star Epic and Legendary Girls Tier 5: Everyone Else In my opinion, the "strong" girls that are worth spending gems on are those who are tier 3 and above. Tier 4 girls are completely outclassed; tier 2 girls cost the same amount to awaken but are much stronger, while tier 3 girls are just as strong but much cheaper to awaken. With gems being as limited as the are, it is impractical to awaken tier 4 girls. Right now some people haven't done much awakening yet and the level gap between their awakened girls and their grandfathered girls isn't that big, but for players like me where the gap is 150 levels the tier 4 girls are pretty much useless by now. With an objective criteria, I could now filter and determine which girl qualities are under-represented among the strong girls. Most qualities have well over a dozen girls available. For instance there are 14 girls with the Leo sign, 18 girls with the Exhibitionist element, 13 girls with Bridge as favored positions, and more common qualities like Blond hair have 23. However, there were a number of qualities that were quite rare. A few rare qualities would be perfectly fine, but as you can see this list is disgustingly long: Voyeur Element: 5 girls Jackhammer Pose: 5 girls Light Brown Hair: 5 girls Black Hair: 5 girls Dolphin Pose: 4 girls White Hair: 4 girls Dark Pink Hair: 4 girls Dark Hair: 3 girls Brown Hair: 3 girls Green Hair: 3 girls Libra Sign: 3 girls Pisces Sign: 2 girls Golden Hair: 2 girls Orange Eyes: 2 girls Epic Rarity: 2 girls Dark Pink Eyes: 1 girl Silver Eyes: 1 girl Black Eyes: 1 girl Grey Eyes: ZERO girls Strawberry Blond Hair: ZERO girls And remember, just because the girl exists doesn't mean she's in your harem, and just because she's in your harem doesn't mean she's one of the girls you're awakening, and even if she's one of the girls you're awakening the blessings on a given week might still might not be strong enough to put her on the battle team. Many of these girls are tier 3, and need double-blessings to be competitive, while even the tier 2's sometimes fall short if the blessings are weak (20% blessings are a thing). Even if the stars align, you will likely only end up with 1 or 2 blessed girls on your team roster. Many of these have no easy solution other than introducing new girls over time. Kinkoid isn't going to change any of the birthdays, so Pisces and Libra aren't going to be fixed any time soon. But I do think some of these have very easy and straightforward fixes. There's really no reason for Brown and Light Brown hair to be separated, or for Dark and Black hair to be separate. There just aren't enough girls with these hair colors to justify splitting them up into two categories, and even if they were combined they wouldn't even make the top 5 most common hair colors (those go to Blond, Red, Blue, Pink, and Purple in case you're wondering). Combining these categories would make perfect sense. Strawberry Blond hair color just isn't being used, and their girls can be folded into Orange hair instead (this was already done for Bronze eyes, which got folded into Golden eyes). Combining Grey and Silver eyes wouldn't fix their problem (even combined they're still super rare) but it would at least mean one fewer dud quality. That's enough of a wall of text; it was a bit more than 2 cents, but I do think this needs to be addressed because it's a relatively easy way to fix some problems with the blessing system and it's obvious that a lot of these are hold-overs from before blessings were even conceived and should never have been made as separate categories to begin with.

  44. @Attirm That's a lot of thought and work you've put into this, so I don't wanna poop on your parade. I gave you a Like for the effort, but I think you're missing the forest for the tree on a few major points that essentially make your post irrelevant slash inapplicable to the current game and, even more, meta game. Still, your posts are very good reads even when they're not really useful. So yeah, I would have gladly given you a "Hug" reaction instead if I could. And now I'll give you a few cents of my own to explain what I mean. I don't think so. This would be more accurate: Without Blessings God-tier: Mythics S-tier: Recent (5.5 base main stat without any real penalty to their total stats) 5-star Legendary Girls Tier 1: Older (5.4 base main stat without too much penalty to their total stats) 5-star Legendary Girls Garbage-tier: Everyone else With One Blessing: God-tier: Mythics S-tier: Any 5-star Legendary Girls Garbage-tier: Everyone else With TWO Blessings: Beyond God-tier: Mythics God-tier: Any 5-star Legendary Girls S-tier: Other 5-star Girls; 3-star Legendary Girls Garbage-tier: Everyone else Notice a pattern? Blessings or no Blessings, it's basically never relevant for your battle team to invest in anything other than Mythics, Mythics, and some of the best 5-star Legendary Girls (assuming you can afford that, which you only can if you're okay with fighting Level 700 Mythics with your Level 500-600 Mere Mortals for the next 6-12 months). It was already largely this way before Awakenings. Awakenings just made the impact of Blessings much bigger on occasion, and almost negligible most of the time. Right now on HH (until tomorrow), Blessings are Element: White and Rarity: Rare. Well, there are a couple of White 5-star Legendaries worth running, and that is it. 5-star Rares don't make the cut even with one Blessing. Oh, and obviously, the two White Mythics are even stronger than usual. ...ANYTHING BUT MYTHICS & COMMONS (if you want to be competitive this year) or MYTHICS, 5-star Legendaries & COMMONS (if you're okay staying somewhat competitive for a few more weeks, before getting crushed into oblivion by the upcoming wave of Level 750 Mythic Teams, until you catch up to them in a year or so). Even one Rare into your Awakening fodder takes the place (and the cost) of TWO Commons. Awakenings is not a walk in the park, it's a very fierce race, whether you chose the marathon or the sprint. You can't really afford to make it even slower and more expensive on the off-chance that a Garbage-Tier battler gets double-blessed once or twice in your lifetime. That's just not worth it. EDIT: Almost forgot: forget about gems, the real bottleneck is millions of books you need along with them, and the million kobans (and post-nerf Ymens) they cost. Everybody runs out of those way before they run out of gems (unless they're doing it very wrong). ...All the once top-notch 5-star Legendaries of years and years ago, before the powercreep took its toll. From 5.2 main stat with huge penalties to the total stats, to 5.3 with lesser penalties, to 5.4 and now 5.5 with basically wholesome total stats. So it's not unusual once you get why they're weaker, and that it's a direct indication of how the power curve has been gradually increasing over the years, and a hint at what is bound to happen sooner or later as well. Note that all existing Mythics so far have a 5.4 base main stat, and the current best 5-stars have 5.5 instead. And you can bet kobans to doughnuts that within a year or less, there will be next gen 5.5 Mythics and 5.6 Legendaries, and so on and on. Also, because these near-obsolete 5-stars are pieces of the game's history, and many players who own them paid an arm and a leg to collect, upgrade and level them up (and, more recently, awaken them), no this would not be a buff. It would be a slap in the face unless Kinkoid gave a massive refund of the thousands of kobans, gifts, books and also gems that thousands of players have invested in those if they became cheap-ass Epics overnight. And we all know it ain't gonna happen. So I would strongly recommend to not even suggest that. Rosso might think it's cool and actually go for it. It's absolutely impossible to tell with him (he went on record in his latest Q&A claiming once more that he doesn't understand, well he used "think", that Awakenings completely doomed Blessings, so...). So please, please, don't suggest that. If anything, they should be actually buffed stats wise, but they should never be downgraded to a cheaper "rarity". This I can't possibly stress enough. I've been saying that since the first time they've been basing ANYTHING on "rarity" instead of number of stars (or "grades" as they like to call them sometimes). It made NO SENSE for Dating Tokens, it makes NO SENSE for Awakenings, and it's also a joke for the relevant PoV (on top of that, for PoV giving a girl her cheap 1st star or her expensive 6th star gives you the same measly amount of points). "Rarity" in this game might as well be called "Expensiveness" and that is it. And they went really overboard with Mythics, who are only worth anything once you give them their 6th star, but cost like ten times more than what they essentially are from 0 to 5 stars: less than top-notch Legendaries. Mythics should have had 5 stars like everybody else at this price, but much higher base stats. OR they could have introduced 6-star Legendaries. Instead, we got the worst (and most expensive) of both options. TL;DR: Forget about Blessings, dude. It will join Dating Tokens, affordable events and The Dodo as a distant memory soon enough, no matter what. Sorry.

  45. In the last Q&A Rosso said a thing that personally I got as a punch in the face, so once more I decided to ask for the forum dwellers opinion on the matter, trying to put that in numbers. The hope, as unrealistic as actually that may be, is that the forum feedback one day will gain more importance that it has now. Important note and personal plea: I would like this poll to be a summary of data and opinions, NOT a debate on those opinions. Anyone willing to participate and post his opinion is welcome, but I would like to ask to keep reasonings and debating elsewhere: I am prone to bet that moderators will be ready to point to an appropriate place for that purposes, even creating one if need arises.

  47. I said yes and no, and now I explain. According to me it's not worse than what we had before. People say they can't upgrade their girls, and that's true. But it was already the case when we were limited by the player's level. Now we are blocked far over the level we were blocked before. To me it's near exactly the same, only cosmetic details changed. With the old system, when I loose my fights, it was versus olders accounts. Now it's versus players who invest more resources than I do. But it's detail, defeat is defeat, and victory is victory. And I don't saw any increasing or decreasing of my victories (more important, I still earn the girls I like, because I don't play because of the experience system and I'm pretty sure neither are the other players), so I have no reason to refuse the new system. And I perfectly understand the need for money (that implies to be very nicer to those who really pay than with the others), KK is not a charity. If I just not answered "yes" in the poll, it's because "not worse" does'nt mean "good", and because I think KK would use their time and money better in fixing the bugs and developing something else than overcomplex systems.

  48. The Good It's a step away from "oldest account wins". While older accounts do get a substantial advantage with the new awakening system, it's one that at least allows lower-level players to catch up and overtake them. The power increase means Pandora stage 3 is no longer a problem, and bodes well for Nike and Sake's second and third forms being beatable when we get there. At least for the moment it's helping with champions. By drafting for your high-level girls, you can get some incredibly hard-hitters on the field. I am concerned that in the future as more and more of our harem is obtained post-awakenings and is stuck under level 250 that might become an issue, but right now drafting for the powerhouses is a good strategy. We're seeing more variations in strategies in leagues, leading to diversity in team compositions. It used to be that if there were strong blessings for a girl that most players had access to (for instance, from Seasons, free path PoA, LC, etc) then everyone would use her that week, and this could lead to everyone having pretty much the same team. Now gems serve as a deterrent to this, and we see a lot more diversity in teams as a result as people are locked into long-term strategies. The gem drop rate is high enough that a free player can thrive. If you're starting a new account today you've got a long road ahead of you, but it will take you less time to get level 750 girls than it will to reach player level 500. This is true for everyone who is more than a year away from level 500 right now. The Bad Retroactively foreclosing the ability to go above level 250 without paying gems was distasteful. In the long-run this won't matter as much because level 500 girls will be very weak in a PVP meta that revolves around level 750 girls (which is where we're going to be this time next year) so having a bunch of grandfathered girls won't be a big deal, but right now it's a huge deal. While it's moved us away from "older account wins", we're still in a situation where the older account has massive advantages. Moreover, since you can get gems from real money purchases it threatens to move us towards pay to win over the coming months. The number of resources is too many; you need a spreadsheet to balance your expenditures of the eight gem types. While some players thrive on spreadsheeting, others do not and given the casual nature of this game I think that went a bit too far. This is especially true given that it seems that they want to add even more resources. Due to the way the costing of the awakenings works, the strategy of just levelling up 7 mythics and creating your "pyramid" entirely out of commons seems to be a bit too strong. Compared to someone who does a 50/50 common/legendary approach, the 7-mythic approach will cost about half as many gems to reach level 750. Players pursuing this strategy already have about a 50 level lead over those pursuing a more balanced approach, and if my spreadsheet estimates are right that will grow to a 100 level lead some time in early January. While it's not my experience so I can only speculate on their positions, high-level whales who are spending money might already be closing in on level 700 as we speak. Most girls are now completely irrelevant for PVP now. Even if they have a strong blessing, investing in awakenings for a 3-star Legendary, Epic, or Rare girl is a terrible deal that is just way too expensive and slows down the progression of the rest of your harem. I have seen some players doing it, but this only works because they were already most of the way there from grandfathered awakenings and the players who are doing this are generally under-levelled so this behavior is hurting their progression. As we approach level 750, my spreadsheeting indicates that books are going to become a critical bottleneck that will restrict gem spending. The XP cost is going to get so high that you will need to purchase around 100 extra shop refreshes per month to actually spend all your gems. Right now that's worth it, we're reaching new and exciting levels of power. In a year when we already have a diverse selection of level 750 girls will it be worth hundreds of shop refreshes every month to spend all your gems? I don't think so. I think gems, in the long-run, are doomed to become a resource that are bottlenecked by another resource (kobons) and we can't actually spend all the ones we earn, making them functionally pointless.
