And KK said they are splitting the MD into 2 parts so you will have 1-26 days to restock on kobans before MD day 2

I have had a bit of a think about the patch and I basically agree with @jelom's summary and with most others here except on 2 points. First. I am not thrilled about more GP orbs. We get so many orbs at high levels. Cashing 250 GP orbs for POA day 2 is a pain. KK provides zero tools to deal with the resulting item-storm. Cashing 258 is a little worse with little prospect of any gain. Second. I like the 1 stars more than I thought I would so getting more of them is if not fantastic maybe good, goodish? - yes they are useless. - yes I cry for the effort the artists put in. If instead of doing 5 1 star girls they put up a poll and asked us which 1 existing girl they should re-do that would be fantastic. I would pay kobans to vote in such a poll. - If the shard distribution between girls is flat vs "leaders agro" we can say goodbye to completing them. + I like having the occasional 10 shard drop when I am forced/choose to fight a boss I have completed.

Just hit 600 so I thought, "I'll see if Chit Chat is the right place to post." Yup. So here it is: 18 today between 2xx GPx10 and about 180 EPx1.

That is just the sort of thing a leader of the conspiracy would say.

Tuning this is harder than I thought. The first champ was kind of a mess as everybody in my club figured stuff out. There was a lot of non-optimal play and "me 1st" grabbing so a few (5?) members got the girl and the rest got very few shards. For the second champ we sorted a few things and reduced the grabbing but some members have given up so the we had a lot of "failed to defeats" and only 3 or 4 members got the girl. This champ is hard because he is too easy. The same crew that was failing to complete champ 2 is doing champ 3 in 6 hrs with the jets off. We are now having problems that some members miss the entire fight because it is over so fast. I am going to propose a guideline that members pause fighting when they get to 10 good fights worth of impression and resume once hour 20 comes around.

I like the dating tokens. There are always situations where you end up with some shards on a girl. I saved a 10 shard MyP orb for ages because I screwed up and left an event girl with 96 and she never appeared again. Doh! Nice safety net, nice flexibility. Thanks KK. My thinking is that rather than rarity influencing where I use dating tokens I might use annoyance. Nike will be brutal on level 3 by the time you get her level 3 girl close to 100. Maybe a better idea is just get 1 shard and then use dating tokens? Or fight her until you start to lose and then switch to DTs?

Yooohooo! Got my 1st back. Now I look dangerous again. No just before reset screen-shot because I like my sleep. I had a fair bit of luck with catching the higher levels unboosted. I only had to fight one annoying player (L411 HC) unboosted who ran a constant setup with ++offense, ----defense, ++ego. It is a very non-optimal setup but it does a good job of reducing the points I can get.

Well, back to "normal". No screenshot because I like my sleep. After my wretched D3 2 weeks ago I was more invested this time. 2 weeks ago I did 21.74 and finished 11th. Last week I did 21.89 and finished 3rd. What difference 45 points makes! I am moving up level-wise just due to survivor bias. 12th - 20th seems to be my current band.

@DvDivXXX, @DHarry, @Bomba Congrats all!! Just so you know I am claiming a portion of each of these achievements because it was obviously done with my luck. I finished 11th. And that is with trying and making only 1 error. I have to go back 31 weeks to find a worse finish. Seriously though, you da bomb(s).

197 fights => 92 shards (plus 5 on 1 star girls).

I worry about the club dynamics as well. In my club we have a large range of levels 161 - 458. Most of the heavy hitters who have dropped the girl continue to participate but at a lower level. A few have stopped participating. It is getting really tight to complete the champ. If one or two more drop out it will not be possible without heavy koban use. Personally I am right on the cusp. I have 94 on Kumiko. I am not sure when Chad started but if he rotates out at the next reset (end Feb) I will probably be short. I am hoping KK will tweak CC like they did Seasons. Losing 100% after 24 hours seems harsh. Across all the members that is 400-600 tickets and usually around 1000 kobans. I would like to see the decay reduced from 100% to 30% and I would like to see the post drop reward scale with contribution, i.e. one reward for each 5%.

121 for Rabbi last rotation, 97 for Victoria this rotation. That is 2 girls in 218 orbs, more like what I expect from MyPx1, maybe a little unlucky. I gained about 30 orbs in the two days so I am only down 70 in my 1x stash. And just like Rabbi I am very happy to have Victoria.

And that is what they call regression to the mean boys and girls. After many, many lucky visits to Mythic Pachinko the horseshoes must have fallen out of my ass. My last 20-30 MyP girls were only costing me 10-30 orbs each. I was to a point where if the girl took more than 35 1x orbs I was giving the RNG the stink eye. Rabbi took 121 orbs. Its all good. My MyP is usually empty, I have over 130 orbs left, I picked up 13 purple cordy. I would have paid more for Rabbi. I am an unabashed Carrott fan.

I have just realized this is part of a trend. All my current major pain points in the game are because KK has been mostly taking away flexibility lately. LC: You must play just before reset or pay a snipeless penalty. 15 min forced. MD: You must play after the 4 times shards are dropped, 2 of which are the reset. 2 hrs forced. Club Champs: You must play once somebody starts the champ. 1 min forced every 15 min for 8ish hours. TOF no more snapshot: Once every 6 hours at a time of your choice may not work any more. Seasons bucks the trend. Play when you want in a 10 hour window.

I agree with a most of what has been already posted: New quest: Auto join, 21 days: Allows for a LOT more hording of fists to win contests. Fortunately I am in a timezone that makes it near impossible to win contests so it will just make other peoples lives more complicated. 1 star: My condolences to the artists. I think an emphasis on reducing the quantity and focusing on excellence would have been a better use of resources. Random snapshots in TOF: One of the big things I love about seasons is it killed the 50 min arena timer. Yes!! Unfortunately Club Champions put a 15 min timer back in the game. Nooooooooooooooo! At least it is only every second day and only if you do not have the girl. Now random snapshots? Check once an hour? 10 min to go through 100 opponents? The random snapshots has increased the mins/day, eliminated any safe time to put the game away and do RL, and has not made the game more fun. This is not a rage quit threat but this is the first thing that has made me re-evaluate my enjoyment to effort ratio.

I have the opposite problem. Somebody in my club is jumping on the CC and finishing him in less than an hour so nobody else is getting any shards.

I decided to drop some Epx1 while the event was on. I got very lucky The zero star girls all dropped. 10 in 68 orbs. Elina was a little bittersweet. She has been sitting in my partial list for ages after I screwed up and forgot to do the last few fights to claim her. I have been saving a MyPx3 ever since in case she came up in mythic. She never did. This puts me at 501 and clears out EpP.

There are a lot of better players than me but my take is if you are L 415 in D3 Ch is probably a better choice. My reasoning is that you will be up against a lot of players with higher level than you. My understanding is that Ch does better against players better than you. A swing from a loss to a win is worth way more than a 18 to 19 pt swing so being able to fluke wins is more important the more losses you deal with. That said it is more important to have fun and play a style you like. When I started HC was 1st, KH was 2nd and Ch was 7th. The Ch boys where lost in the wilderness for ages. Look at them now. KH has been top dog for a long time. We are due for a nerf. (I have been KH for years.)

No, 5th. I was surprised how well I did with lackadaisical minmax and garbage boosters. I put on 4 cordy once to try and pick up max xp from anyone I could not beat with junk. Did not work. Ended up with 2 losses. Thanks for the screenshot. I appreciate knowing where everybody else ended but I like sleep too much to get up early and see for myself.

Yeah, I am 5 levels up on @_shal_ and when he shows up in my league I just sigh and move my potential finishing position down 1 firm position. Not mad, inspired. shal is proof skill matters and level / time playing is not all there is. He is the one that inspired me to start trying for D3 2-4. I was trying to D2 <-> D3 yoyo and was not happy with the play style that forced. I started noticing shal's posts and I looked up his level and thought: "f me, that dude is 10 levels lower than me and he is landing D3 2-4s regularly. If he can do it I have a shot. Let's go."

I used to ignore champs because cash is near worthless to me (L 447) and because of my TZ I seldom do contests. But a few months ago I started leveling up the easy champs (1, 2, 4). Champ 1 is up to round 23 giving him 17M impression. With random, out of place girls, even if I am fully purple boosted, he absorbs way more fights than I need to finish the POA.

I have read through this thread and I am starting to feel bad for Kinkoid. There seems to be a mindset that thinks the only way to change things is to shout, break things, kick, scream, and insult KK. News flash. KK does not make changes because of these tantrums, they make changes in spite of them. If any Kinkoid person reads this post: The 12 hour thing sucks but you have made some excellent changes recently: Seasons is soooooooooo much better than arena. POA is different and fun. More payment options is a lot of behind the scenes work. Excellent. The recovery in the quality of the art makes me happy. Lag and downtime seem much less to me vs 12 months ago. OTOH: Legendary Days can die in a fire. The whole tedious but frantic clicking thing for Mythic Days is just not fun. 5/7 is pretty good. Lets try and keep it there instead of dropping to 5/8.

First of all it is great that Kinkoid is trying to improve Mythic days and the communication is always appreciated. I am not sure about the 1-star girls but I worry about pushing the artists too hard. HH is largely an art driven game and there has been a really good recovery from the poor art of early 2020. Don't hurt the art please. The 12 hour shard release choice confuses me. I can not see any scenario where this is an improvement. I go from 6 - 2 = 4 chances to play to 4 - 2 = 2 chances to play. Unless I am missing something this is a really bad idea. I agree with Kinkoid that Mythic girls should be difficult to get. I have no problem with the resource cost to get and upgrade a Mythic girl. I wish the event was more fun. Mythic days is just a slog of clicking as fast as you can to get it over with. I think it says something about the event when one of the big improvements is a way to get the event over with faster and with less engagement.

Like many here I had Golden Bunny and Waitress Eugenie in my available girls. I seldom have any let alone 2, and I had 142x1, 3x3, and 6x6 MyP orbs so off I went. 49 x1 to drop both girls. Skill, all skill. That is getting close to epic x1 rates. I will prepare myself for a no-whine bad luck streak. I dream of getting Elina in the rotation. She is at 99 shards in my partials list (doh!). I have saved an x3 with her name on it almost since MyP began. Just an aside. MyP x1 is sorta like playing the main game pre-shard. The old, pre-shard 100 drop rate was similar to the current MyP x1 drop rate. With PoP, Seasons, POA, etc as sources of MyP x1 orbs you get about 3 - 9 a day so that is like 1.5 - 4.5 hours of pre-shard game play.

Well I just dropped Estelle so here are my thoughts. I did not compete in the first MD because I am KH. I went for Estelle because the way things are going a conversion to Ch might be a good idea and I wanted to practice for next month. I know some players out there dislike my "x is not that expensive" but its the only tune I know so here goes. Estelle is not that expensive. I spent 14K kobans. No 10x rolls. 80% during the discount. I got her plus orbs that will be worth another 2 - 6 girls. That is not cheap but it is not outlandishly expensive either. For me the big negative with this event is the tedium. Good luck to all those still plugging away.
