Cholly

Completed Activities, got zero potions from main server. It worked on the test server, got several(and I didn't even complete Activities there, just got three done), but I received NO potions on the Path of Valor from the main. Still sitting at zero. Correction: Daily Goals, not Activities. No way that I'd ever have enough kobans to complete Activities in one shot in the first hour, especially during an event, lol!

Starting to get annoyed again. Number of participants is going up, but not the shards. Not. Even. By. ONE.

New patch notes pretty much cover it. Seems to me that it reduces motivation to participate more than once, but it's not my call.

Having issues in the test server Club Champion Challenge. It HAD been giving ridiculous impression numbers for a single challenge with 6 or 7 position matches(1000M+) knocking the champion out in a single shot. If I was the only challenger, it would give me 7 shards, with 3 more for each additional challenger. 2 challengers, 10 shards, 3, 13 shards... I managed to NOT knock out the champion for the end of January, and just let it be because the club challenges would have been insufficient for me to get enough shards for the girl anyway. Now, impression is back to being consistent, but I'm stuck at 2 measly shards with two other challengers, both under 1M impression and me over 50M. Something is seriously wrong.

Technically, it's the Sex Friends thingy, but that's picking nits, because it actually worked. 😝 Thank you.

Browse WHERE? I'm using Chrome, not VPN/AdBlock, but no message.

Judging from the scores in the current contest, I'm guessing that a boatload of peeps can't spend energy. Way too many scores ending with "00".

Me and my big mouth. 250 and climbing...

Both isn't so bad, but I might have to drop grinding the test server, lol.

I'm in the same boat although not that much energy, lol. Straight regeneration stops at 100, I don't remember ever going much over 200. It would be nice if they did Champions. Or Towers. Towers is good for grinding levels.

Observer_X, I went back to school for my degree not much younger than you. That's when I was introduced to Linux, Mac and got into depth with Microsoft, Home, Professional and Server variants. Server is the only version of a Microsoft product I would ever willingly install. I have 10 on my current laptop, but when I got my previous laptop, 8 honked me off so badly that I wiped the HD and installed Ubuntu at least 3 months before the 6 month warranty was up. I liked Windows 95, 98, 98SE, XP and 7. Current builds of Ubuntu install and operate in a manner that would be highly intuitive to an XP or 7 user. And like Kenrae said, Linux is still free. Places that charge, charge for materials(disks or thumb drives) or support. Still a lot of enthusiasts out there willing to help for free. And there are user groups consisting of misfits like me who like to meet face-to-face over coffee and donuts on occasion. Age range is huge, 18-70+(we used to have some even younger, but with COVID concerns we've had to limit it to adults)

I've been playing close to 3-1/2 years. I can confirm, that while rare, they've been around at least that long, I got one my first week. Didn't happen again for quite a while though.

Kenrae, it is entirely possible that we just got off on the wrong foot. I have since read several of your other posts elsewhere on the forum where you sounded not only helpful, but likeable. Not sure exactly why we seemed almost instantly antagonistic. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in an earlier post(s), but I felt attacked by responses, yours especially. Peaches, while I appreciate the show of support(At least I think it was a show of support), it's not necessary. I was being a rather grumpy old man.

Yo Observer_X, have you considered Linux? You can even run it from a thumb drive if you don't want to wipe XP. Ubuntu Linux is pretty intuitive for anybody used to XP, not much of a learning curve. Use Firefox or Chrome(not Chromium) and you should be back in business. Not hard. Old farts like me can use it, I'm 60. Even my wife likes Linux now.

I'm a grumpy old man, but I can do that. Nice avatar BTW.

I'm sorry FinderKeeper, it was aimed at Kenrae, and no one else. I probably should have clarified that. Methos2 was just particularly helpful and appeared to have read my posts more thoroughly. Re-read Kenrae's posts and see if you wouldn't feel condescended to.

Nope. Still weird, because I still had an advantage in level, ego, harmony, attack and defense even while I was losing. All the girls I use are maxed out, 90% of my harem is. I switched back to multi-stat equipment the same day it gave better results. Had enough 10 orb Great Pachinko orbs and cash to do so. I'm not nearly as stupid as you seem to think I am. Methos2 has read my FULL posts and offered good possibilities. You have not. You are coming off as condescending whether you realize it or not and I do not appreciate it.

Just under 22000. I am not even close to stupidly high rank. But I went back and fought in Seasons. I had stopped fighting in Seasons for about a day and a half, I am now no longer having issues. Weird. Maybe it was my non-stop fighting? It never happened before though, and I've always fought any time I had 3 or more kisses since Seasons were introduced. That includes doing refills.

Once in a while I could accept. Random Number Generators aren't perfect, but most are MUCH better than back when we programmed with punch cards(Yes, I'm that old) I'm not sure exactly how many times, because I wasn't keeping track at first, but what put my tail in a knot and started me complaining was when it was happening to me consistently, so I started keeping track, and it happened 5 times in a row immediately.

I am a strong player. While there ARE stronger players, if you missed it I am level 419. I did not get there by being a weak sister. I've been grinding DAILY for over 3 years. Accept losses?!? The system makes ZERO sense. I have gone in with an advantage in Ego, Harmony, Attack, Defense AND Level with at least one of these being overwhelming and STILL lost. Unless I'm missing something that is NOT on the screen, something is wrong. Done arguing. No one is listening and I'm starting to have trouble mustering up the will to care. Taking a break from the game for a while until I decide if I still even want to play. I had a lot of fun up to this point.

If I can't win, why on earth would I buy kisses to lose even MORE mojo. Losing large amounts of mojo while attempting to figure out the new battle system is my greatest annoyance. If I could quit hemorrhaging mojo I might be interested continuing to experiment. It's the massive loss of ground that's putting my tailfeathers in a knot. Think about it, who wants to PAY to lose? It lacks even the slight hope of massive payout a slot machine offers. The best you can hope to do is grind. No thank you.

YES. Did you notice how often I've posted in three plus years? This was my second post. And first unqualified complaint. This is not a complaint made lightly. In my time playing, I have adjusted to several rule/game play changes. I have attempted several adjustments this time too, including the google.docs. One of the first things that I noticed on my own was that girls with blessings stats are green instead of white. Didn't help much. Went from 10 out 10 losses to NINE out 10 losses. Still a huge net loss of Mojo. Not willing to experiment in Seasons any more at this point, it's a kick in the face. If it wasn't for the losses of ground, it wouldn't be such a sticking point. Losing hard won ground is just WRONG especially while you're having to learn so many new rules.

I can't seem to get a win in Seasons lately no matter how I arrange things. Losses in Leagues are bad enough, but at least you don't end up worse off than when you started. I am a level 419 veteran, I should not be unable to win, yet I certainly seem to be. My frustration level is beginning to far exceed my enjoyment level in the game because of this. If they're going to increase the difficulty level this much, they need to remove the penalty for losing.

Waiting to see if it self corrects at 12 EST. Will be super annoyed if we miss out on the prize because of this.
