Same here. I just got Felicie ,... was notified of a new achievement - the red dot showed up over the star,... clicked on it & my achievements window is similarly empty. THEN the game forced me to dump my browser cache (Chrome Version 83.0.4103.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)) & log back in (at which point I was thinking "Felicie better still be there!") Luckily Felicie was still there,... but the achievements are still invisible/no show.

I was getting all ready to scream bloody murder over losing 4 completed levels (and most of a 5th on the Felicie Event following a forced browser cache dump/ re-login. Thanks for the compensation Kinkoid. =D

Same here xiaoyan. =D

Wow, that was fast - Event is back up. 😃 Appears to be working as it should at the moment.

Ditto for me Jon.Landon.001,... I reset twice and no extra kobans or affection for me past the first time I hit 'each. I *did* notice that the behaviour of the progress bar was acting differently this event - it "reset" itself to match the present level rather than retaining the highest point previously reached,... but the already claimed rewards stayed greyed out & did not get collected again. So, it was working fine for me.

Yep,... event's disappeared for me too. Strangely, the event was actually working pretty bug free for me this time around - unlike the Lusamine one where my minimum reset level ended up being a bit inflated versus my actual level progress.

There's seems to have been a bit of a fix, as the "Contact" for Stage 8400 has been awarded AND it's now showing next available as being at Stage 8600,.... rather than 9200 as it had been showing following the Winter Event first Day runaway leveling glitch. I figure that if I can slowly slog my way up to Stage 9000, the Forge reset Level will probably resolve itself. =D

OK, thanks. I thought I might have somehow broken a game mechanic all on my own. =D It sounds like they've fixed it for later players,... I might dump my Browser Cache & reload in a few hours to see what happens. I'll stop obsessing about it for the moment though, as I'll either be stuck with it, or they'll fix it,.... the game's still playable either way - just more fun without the high reset I've got at the moment.

So, is it normal for the reset to jump from 5000 to around 8000 with the addition of just a single new girl? ( I've only got 13 in total, 4 are maxed out & another 6 about 2/3rds there.) (I'm at 8038 at the moment - which has taken 5 hours to get to, whereas I could hit the previous reset of around 5000 in less than 30 minutes, with only occasional use of the bottom right boosts & some mad clicking.) I guess my question is,... what Level did you actually get to (ie: did you get the Stage 9K or 10K girl) BEFORE your reset stat got to around 8439? I don't have the Stage 9000 Girl yet, so it seems rather odd that my reset is 8043, as prior to the glitch the required level for reset (5000) seemed to shadow the highest Stage I'd reached probably 8000 or whatever Megumi is awarded at) by a much wider margin. Now, I haven't even hit 9000, but 8043 is the cut-off. Of course I might be screwed as the game has previously told me there are "No Artifacts Left" under "buy a random charm" for 1.75A1 (I have 27 of them,... leveled from around Level 400-500 each.) Any other ideas?

Yep,... I'm thinking I might be missing a Contact or 2 that never showed up past Level 8000,... & now I'm stuck with a silly Level 8043 Forge Reset - which is pretty much almost unreachable as anything past Level 7000 for me is a slow slow slog that requires finessing the bottom right boosts for hour after hour. It looks like everyone's game went into that strange hyperdrive mode, so a lot of us are probably in the same fix. Resetting back to just before this event began would be fine by me - but without the glitch would be nice.

I like the second from the bottom one best - your shading on it is the nicest & most realistic. Chin/neck/abdomen/arms are all well defined without the use of heavy (and unnecessary) lines. You also appear to be aware of light direction & have already learned that shading follows the 3D contours of the subject you're shading - which is something a lot of people seem to miss. This might be a far longer response than you were looking for,... but I'll write in anyway & hope that at least some of it will be new & helpful information for you. I'd suggest trying pencils in different values as an experiment - "H" are harder (higher clay to graphite ratio), so they hold a point better, are not as dark, ... but are nice for detail work/ light even shading/fine line. "B" pencils are softer (higher graphite to clay ratio) are darker, but tend to wear down quickly & appear grainy when shading. "HB" is a basic in-between value pencil. (it does both ok,.. but doesn't specialize well) For drawing people, I often use 2H & 4H pencils, but I do generally make sure my paper is on a very hard work surface (otherwise the pencils can push through.) Also make sure the work surface is clean (so you don't end up having annoying bits of stuff stick up under it and make marks in your shading) I sketch things in very lightly, then work detail in as I consolidate what I'm doing with darker line/shade. To prevent your hand smudging things,... work with a clean sheet of paper under your drawing hand. Hands & eyes , teeth & hair. Unless you're drawing something huge - the eyes & hands tend to be somewhat small relatively speaking (which often presents the problem of the pen/pencil you're drawing with, getting a bit unwieldy - it makes larger lines than you actually want/obscures small detail due to size.) As a result, it's often a good idea to not necessarily draw things with dark outline all around them,.. but let shading fill in what your eyes see. On eyes for example, the top lid has longer lashes & is almost always casting shadow on the eye itself - so you can draw it in,... but the bottom lid is often better just lightly sketched in or suggested with shading/hints of eyelash. Teeth are similar - you hardly ever draw them as individually outlined, but rather more stylized. The spaces between teeth are very tight, so (unless you've got awful teeth) you simply don't see individual lines between them, but what you DO see is their shape at the gum line, & at their surface edges - so you can almost draw the parts near the gums as inverted "V's & add small ticks along the bite that line up with the Vs to show separation & very lightly draw the cutting edge of the teeth (depending as to whether they're against other teeth, or against the darker background of the inside of the mouth/tongue etc..) If it's a smile where top & bottom teeth are touching, the cutting edge of the teeth can often just be indicated with the Vs for gum line & tiny diamonds to show corners of top & bottom teeth where they meet. (it's a cartooning trick, but it also works for non-cartoons.) As to lips - the top lip almost always appears as dark with few highlights ,... & the bottom lip usually appears lighter (it's fuller & more light hits it's surface) , and casts a shadow beneath it And of course the mouth isn't flat, so there is a side to side curvature as well as slight top to bottom contour. Fingers & hands are similar,...there's no need to necessarily draw each individual digit as an outline,... consider the hand as a single unit,...fingers that are close together often don't have noticeably dark areas between them, and nails often only show up as well-defined along edges that are in shadow. Each individual knuckle doesn't need to be rendered as line - but can be suggested by shading if required. As to hair - pay attention to both the way it falls/grows & how light hits it. You can draw it as both individual hairs , & less detailed chunks or dark & light (and broken line where highlights occur.) Sometimes hair (if it's against a strong back light can have a halo-effect around it's edges - which works really well against dark backgrounds.) Hair almost always has highlights in it though,... which helps give it (and the head) shape & not look flat. I hope that didn't make your brain explode.

I'd been saving up my Kobans for a rainy day & decided to use a bunch buying 12 hour buffs for the Winter Event. I reset the forge twice along the way (to load up on perks to speed things up) & got to Level 2100 in under 2 hours, receiving all goodies & the new Winter Event Girl. I also did all of the new Daily Jobs which appeared & received my rewards for them. Then, I decided to level up my new Winter Event Girl a little, when (on the regular "Office" screen) the girl graphic simply froze (girl didn't change or react) and the attack/Levels just went into some sort of weird overdrive,....it whipped past Level 8000 in about 2 minutes & kept climbing. I reloaded the game - it was still happening. I decided to reset with the Forge in hopes it would fix things, it didn't. Aside from Lusamine (who was new today), my 2 previous newest girls were Felicia & Megumi (Lvls 7000 & 8000 I think) End result of today's strange glitch - my Regular Game Forge "reset" Level has jumped from around 5000 to 8043 - which is almost impossible to reach as I've only added the one new girl. NOTE: There was a brief game maintenance pause while I was writing this,... and I've noticed under Rewards that the Rise To the Top is on Level XIV,..... which is bizarre as I haven't been anywhere near even Level 9000 yet. Very bizarre.
