Thank Grud I got the second event girl. F Laverne dropped day 5, and C Maika has dropped day 11, so event girls are dropping, on average, every 5 days for me since update (up from 4 days pre-update). Does not bode well for the short event / legendary girls, but I've already come to terms with that, so no surprise. So, yay

Yep, very true. I've had a look at the "Stat Upgrades" ranking thing in the 'Tower of Fame', and despite my equipment it definitely looks like I'm behind the power curve for players of my level. The top guys have an ego of over 100,000 Stat boost of over 14,000 etc. So I think I need to tool around by maxing out my stats at the character level. Oh well, I think I'll give the Battle thing a miss. It's not the focus of my game or anything, so I don't think I'll be missing out on anything. Cheers.

Could very well be true, but the thing is, most of my equipment is mono-spec'ed with respect to my specialty, in this case they're all 'expert', except for one super sexy item which is also one of the lowest level item I've equipped (172 as opposed to me character level of 200). So unless all of my opponents have splurged on legendary items, I don't think I'm that far behind on the power curve. Today, for instance, I have opponents who are between 3 or 5 levels below mine but exceed my stats in all areas, in some case twice over and exceed my ego by 3,000 to 10,000. So far I haven't reached the xp bonus in the Battle daily quest, but that's admittedly because I can't be bothered anymore. However, on the previous two resets this morning all three of my opponents exceeded my ego by up to 10,000, prompting the first post. At this rate I'll reach the item reward some time this afternoon, and unless I ship my family off to Afghanistan, I won't be completing the daily quest until tomorrow, meaning it resets the day after. So, yeah, can't be bothered. Not a train smash, I'm in it to collect girls after-all, but still a bit miffed.

So, before the last patch to the Battle arena, I was able to beat one, maybe two of the opponents, and then just wait for it to reset. I could work my way through the daily quest in Battle without any real problems , all it took was a little perseverance (win 16 times? done). Post-patch, things have gotten mean. It takes one, usually two resets (an hour), before I get an opponent I can beat. Currently all three of my opponents out-level me significantly; or their stats, especially ego, exceed mine by a ludicrous amount. Right now (and for the last few days) I can't complete the daily quest in Battle because I can't defeat enough opponents. It always rolls over to the next day, and I have to slog through it before the daily quest resets. (Basically, I can't sit in front of the PC and click 'Battle' every 30 mins and hope, I've got bills to pay.) Anybody else experiencing this? 'cause right now I'm ditching the Battle thing (and the associated 'Tower of Fame'), because they've lost any real relevance to me.

Nearly the end of the event and still no girls dropped. In fact, this is the first event since the music event that I haven't had a single girl drop. Sadness

Thanks, a bit of a slog, but it means that Grunts' Alpha is the last harem girl I need to grind, then I've got the complete set (before the next expansion of course). Weeeeeeeee - *sigh* ...I have no life ...

The RNG has been pretty weird this event: Ishtar dropped day 5, Cupid on day 6, immediately followed by Solveig (the Ninja's harem girl, which I've been grinding for a month), and then a couple battles later, Spring drops. Not complaining , just feels weird. Anyway, I'm done, now to grind affection items.

Yep, which pretty much summarizes the situation for me: After completing the mini Halloween Revival event missions, you receive "6 epic items for free." Not: a "set of Halloween themed items that you'll use for the next three to six months and show off." (Depending on drops in the pachinko, 'nuff said). Not: items a new player may notice in the 'Tower of Fame' and wonder, "that dude I'm going to challenge: he has a pet bat and an ugly purple and orange striped suit, How do I get the bat?" It's all a bit... sad, you know, especially as a mini memorial event of a milestone that I'm assuming we should be celebrating. Currently my memory of the Halloween event is "got Halloween Juliette, items were naff." I'm assuming that wasn't the intent?

Anybody else find the Halloween reward items... underwhelming? My character is an 'expert', and out of the six items that dropped, there were two items with a 'know-how' stat increase. Unfortunately both were less 'powerful' that the items I had already equipped, even though they are both ±20-30 levels lower. So, basically the only thing I can do is sell this stuff, lucky Halloween Juliette dropped on the fifth day.

Just noticed that the thumbnails for the girls from Bremen's harem aren't displaying correctly. They don't display when fighting Bremen, in the Harem and in the Market place. Just FYI.
