Day 3: finished! Thank God, 'cause both next tasks I got would have had me stucked again (small one is "gain 50 shards" with no easily claimable shards left; big one is "10 pantheon performance" and I currently have only 3 candles) Had to do 3 more market restocks and spend 400 gems more. So this event costed me 702 kobans + ~1200 red gems (+ a portion of my sanity). A more than fair price for what I got in exchange (1 actually useful mythic gear, too!)

I do believe that they actually meant to say eastern as in "from the east", for two main reasons: 1) her outfit has nothing to do with Easter in general and is more that of a super-sexualized kunoichi 2) her GH counterpart is called "samurai Kaiser" So I guess the theme of Bitch's alt is aligned with the "East vibes" event, more than with the Easter one. But yes, I agree on the fact that they could have called her "kunoichi/ninja/shinobi bitch". "eastern" is indeed a little too generic.

Day 2: 710 points, with another big task skip and a small task skip, that endend up being kobans completely thrown away (in fact, I could have wrote this summary ~11 hours ago, when I got stucked). So total kobans spent: 576 The big task I skipped was a "spend 160 energy" that I got right after a "spend 80" in the small tasks section, that left me with 8 energy points. I had to wait for 19 hours, but I really wanted to try to end this painful randomness in the shape of an event during the second day, so I decided to skip -> spend 40 CPs. The task before the 160 energy one was "spend 30 CPs". I spent 72 kobans to gain 1 hour more to wait 😂😅😭 The small task I skipped was a "finish 10 daily mission" And I had not enough unclaimed daily missions (I got that same request earlier). The task I got in exchange was a "complete 4 daily goals", and again, I had only one daily goal left uncompleted by that time. Those were the 108 kobans worst spent in my life, for sure

I finished this 1st day with 460 points, obtained by spending 468 kobans (3 big tasks skips + 6 market restocks) and ~900 red gems (kind of wasted, but I still have 18,6k of them, so not that great of a problem). I did no refill on any resources, and I did not used any rewards that I plan to keep for the PoA/next month main event. Last time I reached 1000 points in 4 days, by spending ~1600 kobans + 650 gems. Considering that in one day I'm basically halfway with the girl secured having spent a quarter of the kobans I spent last time, I think I can say that this time I definitely got luckier (and now I jinxed it 😅😂). All in all, this event was not a bad deal at all last time, cost/reward-wise, and it is not a bad deal at all this time either. My opinion on the format doesn't change, though. The randomness of the tasks makes this event extremely stressful for me, it binds every little move one would want to make in the game, and makes it excessively intrusive in my real life routine. There's no way of plan anything, you just have to do the bare minimum to not waste natural regen time while satisfying the event requirements and pray to RNGesus to have mercy. The only way Kinkoid has to make me involved in this is by releasing some very beautiful girls, as they did this time with Cirie and Liu-Yeng. If no gorgeus lady will be given out in next iterations of this quintessence of randomness, I'll gladly save my time, kobans and peace of mind by not even opening the event menu once, if not at the end of the event to grab the accidental freebies I'll have somehow managed to unlock.

And no other refill of any sort that you wouldn't have to make if it weren't for this event random tasks? How lucky. I already skipped three tasks and refilled my markets 6 times and I'm still at 390 points 😅

On top of what DvDivXXX and Liliat already said. this system isn't *that* fast to the point of being unfair. Let's have a look at my situation, for example. For the time I can dedicate to the game (and my current stats) DIII is a too big bite for my mouth. Therefore, I must aim to DII 16th-30th bracket, which means, in the best case scenario, I complete a girl in 5 weeks. More than a few times (because real life stuff was in the way), with the old system (that gave out 10% more shards) I had to use all the 6 weeks the girl was available to actually get her. So let's say I need 5,5 weeks on average for one girl. Next league reset I'll complete Triana. It'll be week 5 since her release I have 2 league girls stucked at ~60 shards (before Sultry mysteries, I had 1 girl more stucked at the same point), so I'll need 2 weeks each (4 in total) in order to get them. We are at week 9 since Triana's release. 1 week left until Kinkoid will release a new league girl. Now, I have three other league girls for which I have 0 shards. Considering the release of a new one every 10 weeks, I'll finally be on par with league girls schedule in ~38 weeks (35 weeks are the best case scenario). 8/9 months from now. And I am somewhat a "veteran" player, I can place quite confidently (if real life lets me) in the 16th/30th DII bracket every week, and I already have 7 league girls completed. Now think how worse the situation of a newer playeris. Maybe weaker than me, maybe just more "casual" in his playstyle than me, and with more league girls half completed (if not with no shards at all) than those I have. How long do you think they'll take to get on par? Until they won't reach the point of needing 5 weeks to complete a girl (which means that in one 10 weeks time span you are virtually able to get the last girl released + an old one), feat that is basically possible only for those who can place at 16th/30th DII and DII bracket every week (higher DIII brackets needs less time; those who hop back and forth from top 15 in DII and DIII lose 1 week each time), the time they'll need to close their "league girls' gap" will steadily grow bigger and bigger.

Me last time: "This event format is super intrusive with my daily game and real life routines. It's not a bad deal in terms of costs/rewards, but I don't wanna get involved in this ever again" KK: *releases the new DP event with two quite gorgeous L5 girls* Me: ... I probably won't unlock the premium path, just because otherwise it'd be impossible, for me, to go for May new mythic

Hey there, I don't think this was already reported (If it was sorry, I did not find it either in the forum or in the known issues post in kinkoid's blog). The issue is: when natural regen timer gets to 0, you gain "two" points of said resource. instead of only one (I noticed this for CPs, kisses and league tokens). After you use one of those two points, the second bonus one vanishes. It probably is just a visual bug that fixes itself after refreshing the page, but I noticed this thing now that I'm online with all half empty meters, I do not know if it could preemptively block the natural regen timer one point earlier (I mean it could visually go from 18 CPs to 20, bypassing the 19. I do not know if the natural regen timer correctly proceeds even if the CPs bar results falsely filled) Also, (even if this is more likely a reference error and not a bug) the showed resting time needed to naturally refill all the bars refers to the maximum refillable amount of the resource: I'm currently at 5/20 CPs, and the refill menu says I'd need to wait 4,1 days to be on top again (that is the time it would take to reach 200 total CPs via natural regen).

Via ticket support he got back the 4500+ kobans he spent on the mythic, but no SPs and no main event girls refund, apparently. Which is way more than what I was expecting from KK, to be completely honest.

Oops, my bad, I even double checked before posting, but I double checked it wrong, clearly. When I'll be back on my pc I'll fix it fpr sure, thank you

she doesn't want to look at how poorly they managed the issue with lady-bugs during her MD last day.

A player that does not lose any fight and use every single point natural regen could offer, in 31 days should get: - 1674 ladybugs from CPs (48 from natural regen + 6 from daily goals, x31 days) - 806 ladybugs from daily goals chests - 1271 ladybugs from league fights - 1488 ladybugs from season fights - 465 ladybugs from the free card = 5704 ladybugs + 1000 free from the bundle = 6704 ladybugs achievable at max completely for free The medium card gives out up to 1581 ladybugs The big card gives out up to 3162 ladybugs Theoretically, a veteran player that doesn't have to hold back on league fights to avoid ranking up to higher leagues and that loses very few (to none) fights in season should be able to reach the second girl by buying the big card only (6704 + 3162 = 9866). Considering that these calculations does not take in account any form of rewards from seasons, leagues, PoA, PoV, etc., the fact "only the big card is needed to reach the second girl" could turn out to be true even for non-veteran players. Buying both cards should always be enough to comfortably reach the second girl (6704 + 1581 + 3162 = 11447 ladybugs in total, without considering any free rewards that could translate to ladybugs), given, of course, an active playstyle throughout the entirety of the event. (@RiotIori) [EDIT: I originally considered only 1 ladybugs and not 2 for wins in season fights in the natural regen part of the post, thanks again @bolitho76 for pointing that out]

Well, the 1000 xtals error generous gift was part of the "advent calendar" they pulled out for the anniversary. If memory serves me right, during the other instances of SEs we did not get any free daily bundles with occasionals xtals in them, so the 1000 xtals this time around could be an actually-non-originally-planned gift (that at least should help quite a bit in reaching the third girl, if you decide to buy both kobans cards, if I recall correctly from the golden anniversary experience)

Just out of curiosity, how are things on Discord?

Sifra got removed, and the two girls from the main event "magically erotic babes", too, got removed even if he got them with 20 CPs from natural regen (one simply completed after 4 days of troll fights, the other one thanks to a super early lucky x100), used BEFORE buying the buggy SE cards, so no exploited CPs on them. Can't say if they removed them completely or just the shards he got while the SE was on (he wrote this in the in-game chat this morning and then immediately logged out), but he got no kobans and no Sandalwood perfumes refunds, apparently (no surprise)

For me, it all depends on May new mythic. If I particularly like her poses to the point I'd really want her, I'll probably get those cards since they are a form of little discount on CPs. I would have bought the card(s) and got the May new mythic no matter what, since I like a lot all 4 the SE girls, and mythics, even those who are not my top favourite ones, are usually really good. Now they have to pull out a majestic mythic in May, to make me give them kobans during this event.

The point is, are they sorry, at least to the point of caring enough to try giving the impression they are? And also Do they actually know what they're doing?

yep, by clicking the refill button with the koban price it opens the window in which you choose if you're fine to refill up to 15 total points available or if you want to refill more/less. Or you can do it in the backpack menu as @bolitho76said. That said I kind of agree with everything bolitho76 said. I took a look on how the custom bundles function, though, and it doesn't seem to me the best way to develop this feature I get the fixed amount of things/total value of the bundle: giving the chance of buying an undefined quantity of rainbow gems/orbs at a "bundle discount" value could have been too much. But once you decided the limit of toatl value one player could buy via custom bundle (9,99€ with a 330% value), and once you established the fixed amount of obects which are worth one third of that total value of the bundle, why won't you let me choose three times the same thing? We're talking about 2 x3= 6 epic orbs, 75 x3= 225 rainbow gems, 11 x3= 333 CPs. Nothing that gamechanging, even more considering custom bundles are available once in a month. It's a nice introduction for those who buy bundles, and nothing "too p2w" at that, but still, it's kind of... stupid? I cannot find a nicer way to put it.

A club mate of mine decided to go for the mythic just because of the SE (before realising it was bugged). He used SP And kobans, since the bonus CPs he got from the buggy SE (400) weren't enough. So if I understand this fix right, He risks, somewhere in the near future, to see a mythic half completed in his harem, mythic for which he used kobans and literally threw away some SPs (since the fraction of shards obtained with buggy SE's CPs will be simply negated from his account), and no compensation of any sort. To add insult to injury, at this point, if he'd rather complete the mythic than wait for the rerun, he simply cannot do that, since he already reached x100 shards, and cannot get them anymore until they'll remove the shards he got from exploited cps. I don't know guys. I feel like they're trying (successfully) to make SE uglier and uglier for the playerbase at every new run.

When facing SE I feel much more like Voldy at the end of the video.

Yes, but this is nothing new. I meant, it'll be interesting to see what they intend to do once they'll put the event available back again. "Bug abuse" was quite inevitable for anyone who had/wanted to play when the event was on, so you can't just ban everyone. Resetting to zero isn't fair towards those who actually spent resources. Not resetting to zero and giving a global compensation isn't fair towards those that weren't around to benefit from the bug situation. They are in a kind of tight spot, this time around, imho.

It will be interesting to see how they intend to manage this.

Your denial was SO STRONG it affected KK, too!

The denial is so strong that it trascended its position as the first stage of grief and it became the second, third, fourth and fifth ones, too.

🙃 Well, Boss Bang exists.
