To people who've gotten to chapter 6 stage 5000, what's your team setup? I'm running into the wall at around 4.2k where maxed crafts and maxed enhancements don't seem to help much anymore.

It's a way, way bigger time and effort commitment to getting the regular girls compared to all of the previous chapters. On the bright side, I think I was wrong with it still being random, so that does justify the stage requirements somewhat. My main issue is that the grind isn't fun, since most of the clicking done is forge and affection, both of which could've benefited from having a "max" option like the office (which doesn't actually max now, making the clicking even more tedious). As with most things, it's not the the nature, it's how its implemented.

So, not only do you need to reach at minimum, STAGE 5000 to get all of the girls (which by itself is going to be huge grind, even for old players), but they're still RNG? They're really trying hard to kill off the playerbase, huh?

Well, Halloween event just dropped, another puzzle girl (yay...) 10 stages for a click girl.

Some people seem to be having some issues with remaxing, personally I don't have any. Might have something to do with emptying cache and hard reloading. I finally got Frankie after ~30 resets, and after browsing some of the older topics it seems like it's intentional. If I had to guess, they gave 1 chapter girl super low odds while the rest have medium/even odds to drop.

As long as you hit the max stage and then remax, there is no hard stage cap like there was before the super update.

Chapter 5 is out, 5 more basic girls, lots more gacha girls, and some "bug fixes". As usual, no patch notes, announcements, or changelog in-game or on this forum. I also noticed that they made the girls/shop/forge/crafts buttons smaller, meaning that we might be getting an event pretty soon. 2 things I'd like to know: If you've got one of the new gacha girls (and the new basic girls), how do they compare to the current rankings of best click/idle/money (post of the most recent ones here) How long did it take you to get the normal (RNG) girls? Personally, I got 4 of the 5 within 30 minutes/4-5 maxing and transcending, and currently just spamming the remax to get Frankie (?)

This is an extremely big part of why these changes were viewed terribly. You can't just dump all these changes without any patch notes or notifications and was full of bugs and shitty performance (game was nearly impossible to play 3-5 days ago). There's no excuse for either of those two things, when you have a TEST SERVER where people gave feedback on the changes and performance of the game, and an OFFICIAL FORUM to announce the changes to everyone before they actually happen. As for the actual changes themselves, they pretty much all make the game grindier, especially for the new players who don't have fully enhanced event/gacha girls. Percentage chance of getting girls instead of 100%, adding more things to have to farm (transcendence), and forcing constant remaxing and chapter switching all contribute to slowed progression. To high level/old players like you and me, this just means we actually have stuff to do while waiting for events, but for new players it's going to take much longer to get to where we were before the changes, and by then who knows what event girls they're going to miss out on.

"Max" upgrade is still just +500, resetting is broken so you actually can't unlock all of the contact girls again (which would be much harder in current patch anyways, considering you need to reach 9.8k in a chapter), and they didn't do a full refund of chats. But hey, at least the Chapter 4 story sort of makes sense? They didn't really do much to it besides take the ending of Chapter 3 and put it in there. To be honest, I'd be less annoyed if the devs actually communicated on this forum rather than hide on discord the entire time.

I've got the same issues with the chat, harem girls, and daily missions, where it takes a good 30 seconds for my action to register. I think they're trying to "optimize" the game by not processing or loading the assets for anything until the user goes there, since when the patch initially dropped there wasn't any issues with the chat or daily missions but there was a lot bigger memory usage. They're really just trying to put bandaids on an amputation and pretending everything's good...

It's sad because during the first 8ish hours new patch was out, envelope cd was only 5 minutes before they stealth patched it (no reason why). I do have to say that I think you're slightly overestimating the number of envelopes you need, as some character conversations have less than 7, especially those at the higher affection levels.

Can anyone else who's gotten to Chapter 4 say what the state of their story is? Attached is the only story thing for my Chapter 4. The popup for the next "story stage" just says to go to the next chapter, like its the ending of a chapter. Is this the same screen for you guys?

It's absolutely ridiculous that not only do they implement all these major changes to the game without proper support for current players, but THEY DON'T ANNOUNCE THE CHANGES IN THE FUCKING FORUM FOR THE GAME OR THE INGAME ANNOUNCEMENT. With that said, these changes can be good in the long term provided they tweak them to be less grindy, but ultimately I'd rather have waited 5 month for an optimization patch than the current content, which mostly seems half-assed and not polished.

Not sure if this is a bug or intended, but the Chapter 4 story doesn't seem to have any progression, the only story thing just repeats the end of Chapter 3 where the elf priestess asks to join the harem. I'm asking to confirm because I had a very similar issue when transitioning from Chapter 3 to Chapter 3 where the story didn't actually update until I reset the cache and reloaded. I've done the same thing for Chapter 4, but I'm not entirely convinced since during the huge lag spike at the beginning of Chapter 4 the story just replayed the 3 scenes in chapter 3 (going to the basement, purifying the demons, aftermath/final scene).

Thanks, that worked for me. Apparently it's random to actually get her, so I guess we just have to keep remaxing the same chapter over and over. On a side note, selecting Sabrina completely ruins the girls interface for me. Also, the progression for girls/chats/photos shows that I do have stuff from before the update unlocked but apparently have to redo the clicks/responses again.
