Hello Forum. It's been a while. How have you all been keeping? I can confirm there is no girl (as of date of posting) on level 2500.

To me, it all depends on whether or not they mean "Sapphires" when they say "event cash", and whether or not "cards are the same as in any SE" means "without Sapphires in them as HA's cards do". If we don't get any extra Sapphires to spend on the next Market, then... I'll have to choose one of three to bring to SM Shop availability between Fae Final in the current event market, and either Captain Piper or Melodic Amelia in the next one (the latter was the koban path girl in the very first DP, which I skipped at the time; a decision I came to regret when she got blessed a billion times since then). =/ I don’t think that everything is so neglected and with a 99% probability the developers meant Sapphires by Event Cash. Regarding the cards, I think that most likely it was meant that they would give the same resources as usual, PLUS sapphires. That is, the Medium card will give 5 fists, 3 kisses, 40 crystals (or whatever the general event currency will be) and 2 sapphires per day; Big card - 10 fists, 6 kisses, 80 crystals and 4 sapphires per day; Premium card - 15 fists, 120 crystals and 6 sapphires per day. I may be wrong, but I think this is the meaning the developers intended in the text.

Comix Harem just released a new adventure and, yet again, most of the steps are single digit energy cost. 15 free energy every day piles up (not to mention all the "left over" energy I'll get when I cash out the Seasons prizes) and I will be done with this adventure very shortly. Then I will have to wait 3 weeks for another one. If they did it like Pornstar Harem where each step is 25-35 energy the adventures would last longer and provide more reason to hang around and would cost them nothing extra since the art would be the same.

Those film rewards should change to another thing after you complete the messenger. Can I suggest sapphires?

Well, fingers crossed! If it's as we hope slash expect, then it will be awesome and we should be able to bring to SM Shop eligibility not only Fae Final from the current HA market, but also at least one other girl from the SEM market too.

I'm expecting to see the Sapphires in every event where there's a market. It would be weird to have the option to spend these blue crystals in the market, without having the possibility to gain them.

I played a game where there were bots in contests. There are none of those afaik in Kinkoid games.

After receiving my first mythic girl (Heavenly Venus), who by luck had the shield as active skill that I needed, I formed 2 teams for myself, with a trait for red hair and, if possible, with a leveled-up 3rd skill for red hair. In the first team, besides Venus, there are 4 5* legendary girls with the third skill for red hair, 1 5* rare girl with the same skill and 1 5* girl with the third skill for red eyes (for which some girls have a trait). In the second team, instead of a rare girl, there is another one with the trait for red hair and red eyes, but with the skill for orange eyes (no one on the team has such a trait). She has a dominatrix role, which gives an additional 2% damage to the team, plus she has stats even better than her counterpart in her team role. As a result, the second team has a lower chance of winning and a lower average points earned in the league. So, with proper selection of a team, even weaker girls can give better results than stupidly selecting only from legendary 5* and mythics.

So we have This is definitely the SE+market @bolitho76 spotted and shared (Thank you. Also, In the SEM section of that post he linked are already shown the 4 new girls that will be featured in the event but not in the market). Now I'll have to decide if I want to unlock for my SM shop Fae Finalmecia or Captain Piper, I guess...

So it's reached the point where I am now ignoring blessings, and am just going to run the same team every week. My power level puts me in a bit of a valley, where so long as I'm on not completely careless (ie, auto-fighting all week) I can take top 15 in D3 pretty consistently but top 4 is out of my reach and every time I've gone for it in the past I've fallen just shy. This puts me in a situation where respeccing bulbs makes no sense for me, as it'd a longshot as to whether I could get higher rewards for the effort. Up until now I've been mostly ignoring bulbs in my teams, using only the active skills in the lead slots and otherwise picking girls for blessings. But the balance has flipped, it now makes more sense to use girls with maxed out bulbs and ignore blessings. So this is now the team I'm running now, with almost all of them being unblessed this week: I've got both Miley and Housemaid with their tier 5 active skills maxed out (so I have both Mythic Stun and Legendary Shield available by swapping the lead position) while everyone else has tier 4 skills maxed out. Metal Noemy is just temporary until I get enough bulbs to max out Eliana. This gives me 7/7 blue eyes and 6/7 blond hair line lineup, with every girl having blue eye or blond hair skills. Not sure if dropping Housemaid for a Legendary would make sense here, as her hair color doesn't trigger with the blond haired team, but it's not like I have enough bulbs right now to make that swap anyways. I've really been feeling the power of this team, and have been running it in pantheon with no items equipped for a few weeks now (since it has very high attack power, which is what you want in pantheon) where it broke through floor 1900 without needing mythic boosters. I'm looking forward to the next week of the blond or week of the blue eyes, where I might just take a serious stab at top 4 in D3.

It won't get fixed (as it's not a bug, just the consequence of a new variation coming up) but we managed to at least alert them on the involuntary sneakiness of the move and such changes should at least be mentionned in the Patch Notes from now on 🤞 Early league report ? Well... Lets say I won 99%, good luck to @430i and @jelom for probable top 4, see you next week 👋

Dear Kinkoid, i'm not getting hard for a long-forgotten promise of a new feature, when i'm sad & concerned for the state CXH is in...

High scores this week, but that was expectable for two reasons: a) we had CCbC in the week before and there is no Contest with Gems spending, so we have two weeks of collected gems able to spend and b) we had a matching Girls-XP Contest. With the small amount of Girls-XP I have avalaible there was not much more to gain so a nice top4. 15th needed 201.090 points.

In the screen they put in the blog post, we can spot 20 sapphires as a reward for reaching 800 xtals. According to this reward list @Ravi-Sama posted during the "winter is cumming" SB, we had tickets as rewards: - 2 times before the first girl (1 ticket at 800 xtals; 2 tickets at 2850 xtals) - 1 time between the first girl and the second one (2 tickets at 5250 xtals) - 1 time between the second and the third (3 tickets at 9750 xtals) - 1 time between the third girl and the last one (4 tickets at 14250 xtals) If they keep that list without changing it, and assuming that 1 ticket = 20 sapphires, every active player should easily get 100 sapphires even without buying cards. Other 60 sapphires would be in the realm of possibilities for those who'll buy the kobans card(s). The last 80 sapphires are kind of in a more whale-ish area. To me, this perspective sounds reasonable, but I do not expect extra sapphires to be given out with the cards.

I'm here at the moment: I calculate that I get another ca. 1700 points from my daily routine (natural regen + some champ fights from 5 days, some "rest" points from the actual day, some extra points from PoA tasks and a secure top10%) so ca. 16200 points without the cards. I plan to buy both Koban cards at the end of the event and use the combativity from the cards for a good start in the SEM. So "only" 3.600 points on top so I expect to reach ca 19.800 points. With this core I have a secure net of 50 points to the last meaningfull reward at 19.750 points. I'll be able to collect 2x10 Sapphires and 130 random shards from the path (I've to wait until the 20 random shards are available to claim them because of the 80 shards of Impact Avery). So I'm 30 shards short for the 4 new Girls. So I get between 1 and 3 Girls directly and need 120 SM coins to gain the last 30 shards. I'll only invest sapphires in Fae Finalmecia to get her to 40 shards, the rest will stay for the next market.

I'm currently at 13 342 points with the free card active and 38 remaining fights in league. With natural regen + both koban cards + top 10% ranking rewards, you should get about 5 300 points more. So, with a few champion fights, you should reach 19 750 points. And I didn't take into account the CP rewards in PoA and mega-event, so maybe no need of champion fights.

@Karxan I would awaken any L3 girl... It's a waste of gems. Awaken only 5* and 6*, common and rare girls. If you must, then an epic girl here and there (In order to reach 100 girls at level 700). As I told you before, you should invest more at your 5* girls 😃

I don't have her either, but looking at her wiki page, she's Green so it's Hair Color: Red. Based on your recent post in the GGS thread, this might be a good pick in your situation. Edit: Hm, then again Fae Final is Red so she has Eye Color: Red as her GS3, so for your Red/Red team it seems like it's a wash? Never mind; Venus has Red Hair but Brown Eyes, so Cap Piper would be a better pick than Fae Final for you in general.

I think Karxan just really, really misses threads with polls in them, honestly. ^^

But I'm more interested in whether it's worth spending my sapphires on Fae Kumiko or Fae Finalmecia to get 40 shards for one of them so that she appear in SM, or should I hold off the sapphires until the next ME and spend them on one of those what will be presented there? What is Captain Piper's 3rd skill?

Congrats. So have I (by the skin of my teeth, this one was really super damn close, and I was down to my literal last koban before today's 150 from doing the daily missions, so I couldn't do much more to secure the spot ^^). Just to double-check if your situation is similar enough to my own that I should follow your lead on that... Still with only the free card active, having already finished all my fights for the current league (guaranteed win, as all the other contenders already lost more points than me), and with all my gauges at 0 right now, I'm here: (I've already spent all my sapphires on the go, but I plan on using most of the ones from the koban cards to bring Fae Final to 40%): So, in terms of reward track progress, I shouldn't try too hard to make it to the top 5% for this final round either?

I succeeded to finish in top 5% ranking again 🥳 Apparently, I should reach 19 750 points even with a top 10% ranking for the last ranking of this event. So, no need to buy medium or big card before the next MD since 200 points more won't bring important rewards.

Love the Lady, Hate the habit... Got her from PoG today!

I didn't really have goals, lets see how the cookie crumbles, would have loved to get more of these blue stones though

Looks like next ME won't be a LR, but an SE with marked, which relaxes the use of CP/tickets between this and next ME, as one cannot have a disadvantage with a bad start in ranking.

Oh wow, that is awesome. I mean I was quite sure that the previous 3 types will be repeated, making the 3 types a seasonal rotation, i.e. a LR coming next. A regular seasonal with marked and revivals is kind of the best ME type I could think of (I mean in the range of features/systems we know from these): No stressful ranking, event cards which can be hence effectively bought during MD/R, although, this will likely end again the day before (January) MD 😐. And a revival via marked, so sapphires can be gained and used right next month, while I was expecting it for next HA 2 months later. Indeed interesting that LD girls are revived as well. That raises flexibility to situational use SM and/or ME markets to obtain LD and ME girls, and the risk to overload SM with >=40 shards is reduced.

Seems that the next ME will be the "Seasonal Event with Market". The last adition to the ME-blog post: https://blog.kinkoid.com/features/mega-events/

Thanks! Then I will stop here with the grind, even with two top10% in the last two brackets I should comfortably reach 19750 points. Does not make sense spending all of my remaining tickets to try and get 10 more shards @ 21000 points. Good luck to anyone still left in the rat race.

As far as I understand, your calculations are made per day? In this case, natural regen in leagues is about 41 battles = 41 points (1 battle = 1 point, not 2). Plus, if you no longer have tickets, they seem to be restored over time (I can’t tell you at what speed), which gives you several points in battles with Champions.

If I remember correctly, LR rewards are not very interesting except the first girl who is reachible even without a top 5% ranking. So it's probably more interesting to use cards CP rewards for HA rather than LR.

PSH has easy brand deals and is ultra cheap to produce.

Thanks for stepping in for Ravi, @bolitho76. Much appreciated! I have to say, giving the PoA girls to their only objectively bad artist in the current roster is more than fine by me. Makes it much easier to skip the koban path girls until they eventually come back in CbC in many years. ^^

Some of Rosso statements indicates that we can be optimistic about the future of this game (not sure how it will continue, but it should be still on):

I stopped playing CH last month, not because I didn't like the game or the art, but because they were adding too many things to the game that consume too much time, and it was simply impossible to play all of their games and still have time to work and live. Not to mention that the recent changes they made left me extremely unmotivated to play, and I lost count of how many players I know stopped playing for the same reason. The curious thing is that all the changes they proposed only reduce their costs, but all the main problems will continue, in my opinion the CH's days are numbered. HH and CH have completely different art styles, but I got the impression that the CH team was taking better care of the girls they released than HH, that not only has the quality of the art gone down a lot lately, it looks like the girl was made in hurry or not being careful at all.

It's largely a matter of taste, of course, but I'm still not really into the CxH art I see (with few exceptions). Granted, it's much better these days than in the first year or maybe even just the first half year, when they started out with a batch of really subpar art across the board. But it's still not my cup of tea. Interestingly enough, I've been into comic books for decades (although I read a lot less and don't keep up with super-hero stuff these days, especially not from Marvel or DC). I've barely read a few manga ever and while I did have a japanime phase, and still watch some from time to time, I've never really loved most of the classic manga or Japanese anime styles, certainly nowhere near as much as I love a lot of US, UK and European comics (especially French, British and Italian artists). On paper (lol) I should be much more into CxH than HH. But in practice, it's the exact opposite. There are multiple reasons for that. First and foremost the fact that the vast majority of the art in HH is NOT primarily inspired by Japanese artists, but has always had a strong influence from certain schools of classic US comics, and a more subtle but also noticeable influence from some of the semi-realistic styles of some European comics, especially the French/Belgian school ("BD" to use the French term). A bit of a manga influence as well no doubt, but all three styles have informed one another in at least some capacity since the late 90s or so. Conversely, despite the deliberate focus on comics in terms of themes, the graphic style of CxH doesn't have much of a comics vibe in my book. Or at the very least, not the type that I'm really into and/or find sensual or sexy. The humble beginnings with the Mad Magazine dirty and very comical approach to visuals notwithstanding, it's been sitting somewhere between old school 80s US cartoons and maybe something like a John Buscema inked by Tom Palmer 70s vibe, both very dated and more functional for the story than pretty to look at. I see hints of loose inspiration from more recent masters like Jim Lee or J. Scott Campbell here and there, but it's not well integrated. That inking style in particular, with the super thick brush strokes all over the place, is super off-putting to me, and it's still all over the place from what I can see even in recent banners or threads. To be honest, the only Kinkoid game where I saw some artwork clearly in the same vein as what I think about when I hear the term "comic books" would be Gay Harem. There's at least one or maybe a couple of regular artist(s) exclusive to GH who clearly show(s) influences from or similar to the likes of John Byrne, George Pérez, Alan Davis, possibly even the aforementioned Jim Lee (minus all the extra cringe 90s shading and inking style). It's probably just a coincidence, but I can't not notice great art when I see some, let alone not examine what its vibes and possible influences (or kindred spirits) might be. Anyway, that's probably the main reason I never got hooked by CxH like I might have if it had been say, someone like the guy from Leandro Comics handling the visuals. Beyond that, the source material being parodied in CxH strikes me as having more to do with the casual MCU generation of "superhero fans" from the movies and TV shows than from stuff that would really speak to long-time fans of actual comic book series. They even parody things very tangentially related like The Matrix, a movie I love for what it is, but that is neither superhero nor comic book stuff. It happens to take inspiration from comic books (mainly The Invisibles) and it also grew to inspire the costume style of the X-Men movie adaptations and indirectly the X-men comic book itself for a bit, but it isn't comics itself. There are plenty of classic comic book characters and archetypes covered as well, don't get me wrong, but they're more of the old-fashioned, generic type to my tastes. Plus, the world building of the CxH didn't really go anywhere interesting or unique, at least as far as I went. I'm confident referring to the Haremverse as being a thing. I don't really see a ComixHaremverse in the same way. Just my two cents. To each their own, and of course I sympathize with fans of CxH whose game is not in a good shape right now.

The first few worlds had simply poor art, which is why I stopped playing a couple of months after the game was launched. Because other than that there were no technical differences from the HH. Since then it seems to have gotten better, and the art in HH itself has, in my opinion, degraded, so now both games are on par.

I agree. It's one of the worst pictures that they've created. They had created much better pictures since then.

I have always felt the splash page scared more people away than it attracted. Now i feel even stronger about that opinion. Probably the worst adult artwork Ive ever seen and they decided to build a game around it.

Hehe, in general it makes sense. But given Bunny's personality as I far as I learned about her so far in adventure (Ninja's sacred land), I would expect her to join the party and enjoy sharing the hero with all the others. But I read somewhere that the develops feelings later? Still excited about how the story goes on 😁.

KKs long ago announced Feature "The Labyrinth" take more steps to start in the not to far Future. Today Rosso announced at Discord that they start an alpha test and they hope that they will start with the Labyrinth at test-server at Thursday. Who wants to be an Alpha-tester should PM Rosso at Discord. Edit: First reaction from an alpha tester: Ok, not very expressiv. 😉

@OmerB I really needed the points for PoV, thanks for not pushing and letting me win this time.

Surprisingly cheap top4 considering there was a girl XP contest in parallel. The fact that the top 1 was already at 2M some hours after the start maybe played a role in people not partaking much. 15th needed 50k.

True, and of course Kinkoid purchased the relevant license(s) for the photo galleries they're using to make PSH's (and TPSH's) visuals. It's a different type of cost: it's an investment upfront, then you can recoup the cost through your commercial product that includes it, until you start making a profit. But once your product (game in this particular case) sells well enough to reach that point, it's a much bigger profit margin from then on compared to the model of commissioned exclusive art that they have to keep paying artists to keep producing as long as the game exists. It's a bit like the difference between buying a place and renting one. In theory, at least. I don't have the numbers, but it's clear PSH is successful enough that the initial investment in the license(s) for the pictures is behind them and it's a low-maintenance moneymaker by now. The fact that the next clone released after that was based on the exact same model (Trans PSH) rather than the old model based on original art they had been using all along prior to that is pretty telling, even if I'm not sure TPSH is at the point it's making a profit yet. The fact that the next clone to become a big enough financial burden that they're openly admitting it and discussing possible solutions to save it is CXH, which is based on the old model with original art is perhaps even more telling.

all goals achieved

It seems the next seasonal/mega event is already planned and the following 12 girls will be revived: I assume that it will be pure revival event, given that 12 girls will be revived, and not 8 like in the current one. Also the lineup is extremely weird, but I guess this is not unsurprising for Kinkoid.

From the point of view of labor costs, no doubt, but royalties can take up a very large part of the revenue and no one will tell us this figure.
