i hope you are right, I really do. I would be so glad for you guys getting a chance for matcha. I also could believe that this will be a MD, but there will be also a KC starting the next day.

yes, they count, and yes, i believe, this was all planned to drain even more resources from players. Hopefully people realize that there will be 2nd LC right after this one (most likely) and that the last day of LC doesnt count towards the current PoV cause there is no time left to claim them.

got hilda with 679 fights, 21 refills were needed. That was some bad, bad luck over here (or another shadow nerf?). Almost paid a whole pachinko spin.

yes, i think originally this event could have been boss bang and it sill can, but it had to be on test server this week. I am not too positive about it though. And no, wednesday doesnt indicate a revival: they made so often so many mistakes in their calendar that's not what i would rely on, especially not "strongly". But, tbh, I would be thrilled if you were right - one KC per month would be enough for me. I have other reasons to believe it's a KC, but we'll see, i guess.

that could take some time, i am afraid; i should get some better chances with next blessings + mono though. looks better, indeed, but first 4 tries werent successful

if we take the 15/25 system into account, there are some people with an average of 25. If we take some other weeks into account, there are people with even 26 or higher (no punishment for the cheaters, so we should consider it as a "normal" week, right?)

Cant believe there is anybody who liked the surprise part. Also hard to believe, that there is someone who actually likes another LC. And, yes, ofc, we players would prefer when KK would anounce their events at least for the month, but, I am afraid, KK really thinks that's exciting ... Let's just think back to the anouncement of removing DTs, right? @Boulie2We cant say, cause it's forbidden. Sometimes there are some spoiler or hints. We dont know for sure either until the event starts/is offically announced. @YamirayThe 2 day event is a KC event, at least only that makes really sense. I am afraid we dont see a mythic revival this month or it's yet to be announced. We might have some place left ... --- That beeing said, current situations are a part of a bigger problem. First, like always, the communication problem gets worse. In times like this, it would be so helpful to ease the players with some proper communication. Ofc, people like surprises, but not if the doctor is telling them they got cancer. Second, KK is realying too much on old survey data. Yes, a lot of people voted for more events in the past, but with the old mechanics in mind. Since the events are mostly cash grabs nowadays, I would prefer less events, at least no surprise events. Third, instead of improving what they have, they add randomly new events/changes which regularly destroy at least one part of the game "balance". Do they really think we dont see how they time events, bad design them, lower the drop rate of pachinko, etc.? Fourth, it's almost impossible to think anything other than KK is trying to force players (which hoard resources) to spend them, so they have to spend money eventually. There are solutions to all of this, but i dont see what discussing them would help anyways, so I stop pointing this out (there is also more, ofc).

you probably mean with and without AM? Otherwise this wouldnt make much sense? let's see that if we meet next time, only one of us is using AME.

yeah, i tried to give you guys a hint a few post above, but I might have failed. I have saved all PoV XP for day one, but overall that's just another unwelcomed drain of much needed resources. It's also well calculated, just make a bad PoV and then seduce people to spend their resources on a LC to get at least the two girls or some more tiers. I am curious how many people actually think that's the only LC this month. Who really looks too closely on the calendar? Anyway, I dont see any problems getting the girl, but the idea is sooooooooooooo bad, IMO.

that was a nice read, well done. I havent fought redeagle for a long while, but seeing them that high is probably the biggest surprise for me. Everybody else makes a lot of sense, a lot of 750 mythic teams and using AME on a regularly basis. Also, still shocked how @La Kajirabeat me the other week. Thanks for the reminder that I wanted to talk to her on discord. I probably wouldnt go all out against most of the players, just because it's not worth it. I would definitley fight la kaijra again, also hugh and you. Against thulsa, redeagle and slig I would decide on some contextual factors, maybe I would start with one AME and see how good my tracked data is - if we had about the same stats. edit: lost, btw., against la kajira and lgm; this week i might lose again, at least you wont see a high expected score from me, you might surpass me soon.

so, a lot is written. I understand, that you, JVR, are now seeing that i didnt compare oranges and apples, but made use of the difference of total power and elements and how they determine your overall strength in different ways? I am just asking, then if not, i could elaborate a little bit on why it's not IMO. Otherwise i am currently not seeing any need to response to something else. But maybe I am just not seeing it?

and, lucky me, another one: Guinevere for 53 orbs

there was a time were they started to give some 5* to 3* girls, but they stopped only a few weeks/months after. It makes sense, there is nothing to be gained from besides people spending some affection. And, yes, i would appreciate dropping less girls on us (and improve in art/*/game balance/even more story/...), but it still seems like that is what players want and probably one of the best ways to earn money.

if i only had this luck in epic pachinko, 3 orbs for mystery carine

so, look, I already pointed out in my posts that the difference in power between a voyeur and dominatrix girl is so big, that even if the voyeur girl has 10% more power it's still weaker overall (at lest for me). So in this case, I would change bianca and royal housemaid. I might consider changing valentina and the other voyeur girl too, but i am not that convinced from physical bonus. to be fair, i obviously can choose from a bigger pool of girls, so it's often easier to adjust to the situation at hand. This kind of stuff is also optimising league play, something you might not want to consider yet. But 20-50 poitns can make a difference in my case betweeen top4 or top1. edit: deleted the overview cause of poses ---- in my case my perfect mythic team (which I will have when KK gives me some blue gems) will look like 2 dark (match, housemaid), 3 blue (estelle, norou, lenaelle), 2 reds (alexa, radka), but for defense i would swap one blue for green or orange. But I am not gonna push to 750 in the next few months (unless something big happens (a lot of free gems)), so I am almost ever have at least some upgraded 5* in my team.

blue is not only for 500 a good element, but also for other high level players; i often use a team of 3 blues instead of a rainbow (mythic)/only blessed team. As far as I can tell, it gets better the bigger the difference in level/power is. Overall that's a pretty good explanation. That should help a lot of player to understand the current system (even more).

well, i think we could put them in this thread, yes. Not sure if there is much more to say, @Slyniaalready pointed out what elements/girsl to choose.

well, we might have a different understanding of what "not much difference" means, but, yes, i wanted to highlight that there is a significant difference even if the dominatrix girl isnt blessed/has a big difference in power (it's 1,5k in main stats and 800 in beta/omega stats, so 2,3k overall which is around 10% in total power). edit: I also checked the expected average against some players, and if this is true for every player, that means that's about at least 20-30 points over 300 fights in average.

there is a lot to talk about difference in elements, just to elaborate a little on the difference between dominatrix and another blessed element girl, compare these two; the only difference is in the first I have bianca (700, voyeur, currently blessed, top17, 30%, 31,25 power) and in the 2nd i swapped her with matcha (700, dominatrix, no blessing, top30, 28,56 power) ofc, there are a lot of other factors to be aware of, but it shows already how uneven different elements are and why it's almost useless to upgrade voyeur girls in particular. Ironically (or intentional?) we have most shards of them but the least common girls.

yeah, that's one of the problems with KC; i wont get to 10900, but i rather save kisses for next KC cause there are so many normal contest on LC day1 that are good enough to get another 400k points. Got the girl on 2nd day, 109 kisses were a good amount to start with - no refills in leagues were necessary.

You can believe what you want, i am just saying how it is for others, so they dont get fooled by you. And what you see is not what is the criterion for determining the drop range of this event. Data is. Data shows that's impossible getting 4 or 5 shards with one fight. There is no record of a 4 or 5 shard drop so far (and we have thousands of thousands recorded fights). And btw. maybe you just saw a wrong number? That's the likeliest explanation for your "4" or "5" shard drop.

I highly doubt you got a 4 or 5 shard drop with a single spin and i wont believe until i see a screen or some can confirm this. there's no indication whatsoever. You should think that somebody would have noticed if they really had changed the drop rate. There are thousands of players on discord or other social media platforms: Nobody has said anything like this. So: No, dont fool us.

oh, usually the competion is on nutaku way stronger, that's why even @holymollygets a win on HH from time to time (:P). But it might be different on top30-45, I rarely look at this. Overall since blessings and awakenings and the league nerfs it's even more luck depended on how you gonna place.

i havent heard them, what did they say? Maybe it's cause i deactivated sound for this game?
