Leaderboard

I was taking note of the rewards, to quantify what they consider to be 15,6 kobans worthy as a pass and have a laugh, and I found out something. Not that it really matters, since I don't know how far past the first girl non-heavy-kobans-spender players will be able to go, but they completely forgot about adding green gems as a reward after the first cycle of the 8 colours (that ends way before the first girl, at 3150 crystals). Between the two girls rewards, there are 3 cycles of gem rewards, awarding 135 gems in total in the free path and 270 in total in the paid path (so 405 in total) for every gem colour but the green ones. The fact that the mythic girl this month was a green one, too, makes it even more hilarious Should I write a ticket to support and tell them? Nah, I don't care enough

There is now: I've just spent half an hour tediously splitting posts from here to there, and I also had quite a fight with the forum system to make Karxan's post the Opening Post, but still half failed. @Ravi-Sama work your magic if you can, please, it's stronger than mine in this area. I have Karxan's post as the first one, but Tom 's post is still considered the OP and I can't edit it back to what it initially was (just a question about the new blue crystals). Everybody else, please keep your feedback going on Mega Events for Mega Whales in general and this particular new "Lusty Race" format in particular over there from now on. Thank you all.

#magicintheair ==> 1M $

(sorry for the double post) The premium path has exactly double the rewards of the "free" path, with the only exception being the legendary chocolates awarded by reaching a total amount of crystal of 26250 (LOL), where the free path gives out 4 of them and the premium path only 6. Those in the next image are all the rewards in the premium path only (as I said, If you want to know what the free path offers, divide these rewards by two. Legendary chocolates in the free path are 9 in total, truly gamechanging). As I already said, green gems appears as a reward only one time, for no good apparent reason other than they completely forgot about them. In the first column there are the rewards up to the first girl milestones (7200 crystals); in the second column there are the rewards between the two girls milestones (7200 - 27000 crystals); in the third column there are the rewards for those who'll manage to go after the second girl milestone and reach the very end of the event As you can see, totally worthy of 15,6K kobans to be spent on top of the kobans and effort one should invest to reach any milestone. /s

"Mega Event" is the umbrella term, and it refers to Seasonal Event, Lusty Race (this current one) and Hot Assembly (next month I guess)

#Cumbativity gives 10 CP

Did today's patch (which has a notification but no patch notes in the blog) break the rankings for everyone or just for me? Before the patch I was at 4xx Xtals in rankings (I could not participate MD, as I have not unlocked Karole yet), just a few behind the actual storage. Now I'm at 374, i.e. lower than before, while I actually have 511 Xtals. I never understood why those leaderboards are always behind the actual progress of players, but moving backwards, then being stuck for hours? Watching the top positions and how much Mojo I suddenly get in season, it is crazy how this crap event destroys resource management: As I do not think that anyone is buying kisses over firsts, I am quite sure that people started to claim all their kiss rewards for the ranking, and will probably regret in KC. Although, given the massive rewards and that having a good ranking at the starts helps you getting better rankings in the future, it might be really a question whether burning all resources now is the best one can do. And then of course 1st with >5k Xtals, you can see the credit card burning. We can only hope that no one navigates oneself into financial real-live problems due to this direct unlimited "PvP" pay competition. Absolutely, this kind of double pay/bonus system reduces the value significantly for all mortal players: On all other events with bonus path, with good resource management and planning, it is possible to finish the paths without spending kobans, or only small amounts. On DP one might be unlucky, though. But in SE (this new one even more, is it now called ME for Mega Event?) it is not. Since how far you get even depends on the rankings you get, which is RNG to a certain degree, one cannot know the value of the pass until the end of the event. What is also nasty that bulb rewards increase in rarity along the path, like in season. But in season it is trivial to reach tier 63, so no problem with that, while F2P or low spenders won't be able to reach even the legendary bulbs in this SE, and the other 3 rarities have a true value of zero.

Yeah, there's no turning back from there on. We're all playing a full-blown Pay To Win predatory game now. Personal opinion, here, not speaking as a mod or on behalf of Kinkoid.

Thanks. Saved me the trouble. I accidentally unlocked the mega pass in CxH (15.6k kos), and it cost me an "Ahsoka" parody mythic I liked. Not in a good mood about this, nor am I enthusiastic about diving into the inner workings of these mega events, b/c it's easy to see from a first impression, that they aren't player friendly at all. I've been "dragging my feet." Trying to fix a thread that already has a different author, and separate posts as the first post, makes me think it's already "FUBAR." I could fix it, by splitting an older comment, but I think it's sufficient already, as everyone can see the main info in the first two dupe comments. Main thing is to read the blog post: https://blog.kinkoid.com/features/mega-events/ I wasn't aware of it before reading the thread, since it wasn't mentioned in-game or in the patch notes at all. That's really bad communication. I suppose we're meant to fix that. *Sigh* An update on my progress: HH: 1,330 Xtals, rank 428, Top 1.2%. 35,667 players. 604 Xtals for Top 5%. CxH: 426 Xtals, rank 902, Top 9.6%. 9,396 players. 510 Xtals for Top 5%. PSH: 370 Xtals, rank 2,577, Top 22.8%. 11,303 players. 568 Xtals for Top 5%. The formula for figuring out total # of players is: Current Rank / Top percentile = Total Players For example: rank 500 / 0.014 (for 1.4%) = ~35,714 players You only really get extra Xtals if you're in the top 1,000 players every 3 days. In HH.com, I'm in the 250-500 rank bracket that gets 24 CP and 240 Xtals, on top of the 800 Xtals for being among the top 5%. I expect to get ~1064 Xtals by the end of the day. That'll give me a 2,394 Xtal total. I'm only at this rank, b/c I bought 800 CP to recruit LG Kumiko last night. The more players in your server, the easier to reach a higher percentile, but not rank. The fewer players in the server, the easier to reach a higher rank, but not percentile. Feels like these are hindrances that the player doesn't really have control over. Even if I got 2.4k Xtals every 3 days (21.6k Xtals), it wouldn't be enough to reach the 27k Xtal goal of recruiting all of the girls. Of course, it's also impossible, b/c I'm not recruiting a mythic every 3 days (spending an extra 800 CP). Let's say you're regularly in the bottom 1,000 players for 16 CP & 160 Xtals, as well as in the top 5% every 3 days, that's 976 Xtals, nine times, for 8,784 extra Xtals. To reach the 27k Xtal goal, you'd need 18,216 Xtals from other sources. There's 54 daily CP, 48 Xtals from daily kisses, & 25 from daily goals (5 each). That's 127 Xtals daily for 30 days, for just a 3,810 Xtals total, not including tickets. 8,784 from the 3 day contests, and 3,810 from daily resources, adds up to 12,594 Xtals. There's still a 14.4k Xtal gap to 27k Xtals. Tickets won't bridge that gap. It just doesn't seem possible w/o whaling. That's the problem. Even if you're in the top 1,000 & top 5% every 3 days, you're not getting all of the girls. Also, the CP/Kisses from the 6k SE cards no longer exist, so there's no other help in reaching the goal. It's not like I ever recruited the 4th girl from an SE anyway, but I occasionally got the 3rd girl (when there was a 1k xtal gift). Now, it seems like the most you can get is 2 L5s (7.2k Xtals), and that's after spending 15.6k kos, like I accidentally did in CxH. As a F2P, (which I'm not really anymore, after becoming a mod), the highest reachable goal is 1-2 girls now, when it used to be 2-3 girls from an SE. 1 extra L5 isn't worth 15.6k kos. You can get 1-2 M6s for that. *sigh*

Thanks for asking, extraordinarily generous and fair. I know of course, you are not playing seriously anymore, otherwise you might have dominated this league. I am already done with all fights and finished with an average of 24.53. Amazing and not clear what happened, this is my first average above 24.3, and I really do not play scientifically. I don't have any skilled mythic girl in my team either, only 2 legendary and 2 common. So the majority of the players was probably very weak. However, we will see what it is worth, as on the other hand I never was in a bracket before with so many frequent D3 winners. I would consider it as success to stay in the top 4.

Oh, far away from remembering the (nearly) correct numbers (ok, two exceptions: Finalmecia and Ysette 😉 ). What I have in mind is, that there are more than one Mythic with more than 100k left and that the better runs of Mythics ended below 30k. If I have to look closer I take a look in the older MD threads to find an actual graph 😁. On the other hand: with the drained Ressource stocks after anniversary and the drain of longtime players because of KKs 🤮 aditions to the game in the last months the result of this MD is better than expected 😉. But I see your point and wont deny it. Got curious and took the time to make a longtime average for left shards at .com for the last 19 known leftovers (in the early Data are a little bit to much gaps and since Lovebot Norou we miss only one MD). In average from Norou to Kumiko we have an average of 70.065,8 shards left.

75.9k

This is the amount of (known) left shards for Mythics. 77k isn't near the rekord, more in the middle. I don't know why so much guys everytime complain that the leftover shards increase all the time and call every month a new record while the leftover is mostly in the middlerange,

The best part about all of this is that KK.. like always with those changes.. just stays quiet and hopes that people will just accept it and keep on p(l)aying. Idk what annoys me more tbh.. their approach to communication or this event. For me it´s at least a final step to seriously considering quiting..which I feel like I´ll do once I run out of kobans cause leaving them to die with the acc seems like a waste to me. If I go for the last girl I might be able to quit by next month ..so we´ll see ..maybe I just go back to getting just the girls I like and enjoying everything burning to ashes ..we´ll see. ( initially the plan was to keep on playing until the next holy campaign takes place but idk if I´m able to keep on playing for that long)

Event completed. Narkisha will join their mythic friends in my harem.

I've grabbed her yesterday. No need for x50s since there are still 77k shards left on dot com, so it's looking like she might get near or even break the record. But I've used them anyway because I was far too pissed off at the game to make hundreds of clicks. I don't have the resources to upgrade her yet, although thanks to the dumb system that shows us in-game spoilers for girls our opponents are using, I've already seen most of her poses, including one that seems popular among my Season opponents who for whatever reason assumed she was worth using in PvP this week. Said pose bears a striking similarity with one from Ben's previous work on MD Stacy. In general, it looks like your typical Ben MD work: sure, good quality overall, and actual affection scenes instead of a Side Quest show, but super samey and ultimately boring as fuck to my taste (though that's on the writer too). Always the same few poses, angles, zooms and crops to save time, always the same vanilla lukewarm sexual interactions, always the same absence of genuine feelings or arousal, let alone relationship growth (even as just friends with benefits, they're not going anywhere, and the 10th variant of a girl doesn't show her and the male hero getting any closer or more familiar with each other). I'm getting bored. Perhaps my subconscious is deploying a last-resort strategy to make my eventual retirement from this game less painful when it inevitably happens (unless something drastic happens to Rosso, like the awareness that whatever he feels like doing is wildly different from what his best move could be, more often than not). Focus on what's been annoying you, solidify your strong impression that anything good let alone great is either behind us in time or behind a fuck-you giant paywall now and for the foreseeable future, and try to prepare yourself to give up on all the amazing content you've had so far and more importantly, give up on any lingering hope of even more amazing content and even more fun times for the future... Yeah, makes sense.

Completed the shards for the nice Love Guardian Kumiko 880 battles, 50 drops, 100 shards (with 5 SP) for a 5,62% drop rate.

Yeah, it's terrible. I wanted to avoid it, after seeing it yesterday. Watched the West Indian Day parade, and J'ouvert. Enjoyed my Labor day instead. I'll make a thread for it later today, and move over all the comments from here to it. @Karxan made one, but it's hidden atm. I'm not sure if he really wants all of the negative feedback attached to his name. HH: 2,082 rank / Top 6.3% = 32,984 players CxH: 667 rank / Top 7.9% = 8,443 players PSH: 2,786 rank / Top 26.9% = 10,357 players Seems legit.

#Cumbativity gives 10 fists

they've heard our feedback that we don't want 5 star girls with only 2 affection scenes so they'll stop releasing 5 star girls outside of mEgA eVeNtS. ISSUE RESOLVED.

There is nothing good to say about the event, no constructive feedback to be given either. No-one probably wants to open this can of worms

Can't wait to see what the third seasonal bullshit-like event format will ask us to do next month. Probably to sacrifice a goat to kinkoid divinities for a chance to get 10 shards of a girl

Words cannot describe how I feel about this mega whale race. Good job KK, keep heading down this path and you're going down.

@Karxan Please don't post random chit chat thoughts slash questions just anywhere, use a proper chit chat thread or make a QA thread if necessary. Post denied, but I'll answer you here in chit chat. This was really not worthy of bumping Ravi's Balls. ^^ If you haven't figured it out or read it somewhere already, I'll spell it out this once directly to you: every regular monthly MDR takes place one year after its matching MD. The girl you're asking about just had her original MD in September 2023. So her MDR will be in September 2024, unless the schedule gets changed by something else by then (which we can't predict). You can just open the wiki on the MD page and check for yourself which girl will come back when. As an exercise, I suggest you start by figuring out which girl will have her MDR this month. Hint: find the girl whose original MD took place in September last year. And so on. Cheers.

If you use ublock origin you can add this lines to the "My Filters" list, but it hides ALL girls 5 and 6 star poses including the ones you have unlocked hh2.hh-content.com/pictures/girls/*ava5* hh2.hh-content.com/pictures/girls/*ava6* and if you don't want to see their icons you can also use this hh2.hh-content.com/pictures/girls/*ico6*

That's great! Congratulations on your average! 🥳 So the Top 4 players are already decided. I can also already congratulate you on this 😄 Since I didn't know how high your average would be, I simply went below the best lowest average of the top four players (24.2). So if I finish fourth, it's pure luck - I expect a fifth place. Since the league hardly cost me anything, I will be able to book almost the entire amount as profit

Yeah, it'd make sense that the main reason is simply oversaturation of events, micromanagement and resource sinks. Combined with the fact that we're losing players who would go for M6's with each and every grand addition to the game. And M6's are hardly a novelty at this point. I remember having to blink 10 times and clear my glasses last month when I saw this in the calendar: (plus Seasonal event of course)

Technically, it should be possible since the scripts stores the id of girls you have and the current shard count. The only thing which is not stored if I haven't missed it is the max unlocked rank. After that, the script "only" have to dynamically patch image sources by replacing the URL which looks like this : https://hh2.hh-content.com/pictures/girls/{girlId}/ava{poseNumber}{size/other/...}.{extension}[?v={version}] so for Bunny with pose 0 : https://hh2.hh-content.com/pictures/girls/1/ava0-1200x.webp?v=6 And for configuration, you could have the option of always seeing pose 0, always the max you unlocked or the original URL (default value / actual behavior).

What was the amount of shard left for Kumiko on HH.com please?

Another top4. 15th needed 239.640 points

100% AGREED! Those are quite possibly my two favorite writers!

Wouldn't say it is better, it's just another way to cope with it. 🤔 😉

Aren't them all from Legendary days?

#Cumbativity =>10 combativités

In a sense, this new event is rich in horror vibes. Halloween came earlier this year

Thank you, I was definitely too short in goats to be able to face that shit next month

yeah, I think one is a snowball where you get rewards for being at the top and because you are at the top you get the most rewards so you can stay at the top to get even more rewards etc. And the other is counting only xtals for that specific 3-day bracket. Not sure if the "event ranking" counts the reward for the previous bracket but if yes, then it will also be broken. If you manage to be in the top 5% each time for event ranking, you'll get 7200 xtals so that's the first girl. The 2nd girl at 27k sounds pretty much like the 4th girl in the old format (or will they alternate?) - non existent so yeah, grab the first girl, forget the event exist. I'd hate to be Ben in this case. Imagine being an artist making these great quality art pieces that only 10 people will see because your boss is a greedy fuck who hates his own product.

Nope, I'm outta here. SB evolved into something else. 🤨

She (Narkisha) appeared on Classic event, which means that she may appear on Mythic Night club! So watch the night club. Also, as every girl that you're having 40+ shards of (apart for Mythic girls), they can appear on the SM shop. Ok, a list of the ways to get girls: Quests - There's 1 girl on each world/story (execpt for the 1st one). There's nothing to do, but to make progression on the story, and you'll get them. Villains - There are 3 girls that appear on each villain (not counting event girls). The best way to get them - well, is to fight the villains and wait for the shards to drop Night club - play the night club and get the girls. Champions - Beat the champions. When you beat the 5th stage of each champion, you'll have ~50% chance to get 20 shards (or a Mythic night club orb). Club champions - join a club, fight the club champion, and when you beat it, you'll get shards according to the damage that you've made. Pantheon - Beat levels 500, 100, 1500 & 2000 of the Pantheon (easier said than done) Classic events - There are 6 girls on each one, 1 from finishing the missions, 2 on the night club, 2 with villains and 1 with champion. If you don't get them, they will find their way to the Mythic night club later. Orgy Days - Revivals of Classic event girls from previous years. Anniversary events - special revival events, with some new girls on it Mythic Days - as it sounds, the days to get Mythic girls (with a lot gold, using fists and potions). They are revived on Mythic Days Revivals Legendary Days - You can get some new (or old) legendary girls, by fighting villains. They are revived on future Legendary Days and on PoG Legendary contests - one new Legendary girl on each month. They are revived once on the Path of Glory. Seasons - 2 new girls on each month. They are revived once on Cumback contests. Path of Attraction - 4 new girls on each month. They are revived once on Cumback contests (so you have only 2 chances to get each of them) Path of Valor - 2 new girls on each one (lasting 14 days). There aren't known revivals for these Boss Bang - There are no known revivals for these, but some were revived on the Anniversary event. Double Penetration - There aren't known revivals for these girls 2 promo banner girls - if you finished the Sexfriends offers and didn't get them, send a ticket to the support Seasonal Events - 4 new girls on ech one. They are revived on Seasonal Events Recumming (or whatever it's called) There're also girls on the Places of Power. I'm hoping that it's clear enough, I tried to make it as comprehensive as possible while also being easily readable

EpPx1 Orbs has a chance of 4% to drop a girl. A change of this chance isn't expectable.

Agreed, and done. ❤️ You get your Balls to the Wall. ^^

I'm glad they started trying something new with recent girls. (Horny, Madame Demise, Spill(still lmao at the name), reworked Vorr) and continued this trend with seasonal girls. Especially considering that Snowfel looks so much better than Leonita(what a nightmare-inducing image), and Wraith looks great too. Hopefully I will be able to get her. Last season I was able to get to rank 56, maybe this time it will be different, or I will just have to spend all free seasonal fights before the end of the season. I always thought this harem should be about more creative uses of super-powers (Fle as a great example), and about more outlandish looks that are not common in HH. For some time it felt like they add just a bunch of cosplayers with nothing special(and I understand you cant make creative sex scenes with super powers non stop), but right now it feels like a more balanced approach. On another note we now have PoG in CxH. I have 63 shards for Paprica, so she is clearly from legendary days and not contest days. I guess it means CxH is not going to have legendary days revival. 5400 kobans for a 3-star girl? Never call me again, thanks. PoV costs 3600 kobans, has a better girl (0.1 more in stats), and it has AAPotion. Paprica's only advantage is that she is Sensual, and even that, is just a coincidence.
