An unexpected clean sweep. I rarely go for more than one (1) girl in ED - I prefer to save my kobans for OD & LD - but i already had the 4 older girls in this event & I got a lucky 100 shard drop on one of the new girls. Anyway, bring on Orgy Days!

My D2 for this week: 107 players; highest level: 421; lowest level: 299; 19 lvl. 400+ players; & one sub lvl. 300 player.

17th in D2. Got distracted by emails so didn't take a screenshot but, from memory, the last time I looked I was 3 points off 16th in an irritatingly low-scoring league (~4500 points for 16th). Lots of unused fights but, refreshingly, no avoidable 13 point losses.

FWIW i usually managed 3 runs every 24 hours on my Test Server account &, so far, I have had 2 shard drops. Obviously, we'll need much more data before we can arrive at a reliable figure but, judging by the feedback on Discord, I'd be surprised if the drop-rate was as high as 10%.

Huh. I'd no idea. I've relatives in Trieste & Lucca (who, like me, have a lot of Swiss heritage) & I've never heard them reference gruyère. Oh well, I guess the phrase has mutated whilst retaining its original meaning. Wow, that's a bit of an overreaction. For the record - & this isn't intended to have passive aggressive overtones - emmental is not "just a subtype of gruyere".

*Emmental (apologies for the pedantry, @Observer_X, but cheese is important).

My D2 for this week: 103 players; Highest level: 436 (has a single D3 4th place to his name); lowest level: 274; 19 lvl. 400+ players; & 1 sub lvl. 300 player.

17th in D2, 1 point behind @kariya. 6 unused fights & 1, very annoying, avoidable 13 point loss. Fairly tough league with some high level opponents so ended up farming XP from losses from my last dozen-or-so fights. This ↓ gives me hope. Deliberately under-performing in the Leagues is maddening so the possibility of promoting to D3 before I hit ~lvl. 380+ without losing out on XP is very appealing.

From Twitter:

FWIW I'm fine with it. I'll have to be even more selective when deciding which girls to go for on my Test Server account (F2P) & should* be able to get all or most of the boss girls on my Main/Live Server account (non-F2P) but, overall, more events = more girls, which is a good thing & even if I do have to be more selective on my Test Server account the overall number of girls i obtain in September should remain more or less stable. TBQH I'm struggling to understand why so many players seem believe that an increase in content/choice is objectionable. *just because i can that doesn't necessarily mean i will -- I rarely go for more than a single girl in Epic Days.

One girl from 20 orbs. Not a particularly good return this time round but i took 3 girls from 6 orbs a week ago so, overall, I really can't complain.

Event done, all 4 girls are now in my harem. I don't particularly like the PoA format so, in order to get it out of the way, I would usually have pushed to have completed it sooner but this time round that wouldn't have been compatible with League management so I took my time. Overall assessment of the art is more 'meh' than 'horror show' & in retrospect my initial reaction to the rewards (that they were significantly less generous than the last PoA) was unfair - the last PoA had unusually generous rewards because it was an Anniversary Month event - but If I were to make a criticism of them it would be that, with just a little bit more thought, the devs could've made bonus pathway rewards much more appealing while keeping the overall koban value of the rewards more or less the same by simply replacing most of the smaller/less valuable Pachinko orbs with a single EP*10 orb.

My D2 for this week: 103 players; highest level: 421; lowest level: 274. 15 level 400+ players & just the one sub level 300 player.

18th in D2. There was an annoying period at the beginning of the current PoA event where many players ostensibly stopped playing in order to preserve fights for the PvP tasks, which in turn meant I had to pass up some free tokens/fights (or risk promotion to D3) &, as predicted, it was a fairly tough league & I ended up using more boosters than I would've liked.

Meh. Nowhere near as generous as the last PoA. I'll probably still pay to open up the bonus pathway though.

My top 4 place in the current LC contest was looking a bit precarious last night so i decided to burn my paltry post-Ostentatious Duty EP*1 orb stash in the hope I might gain an extra girl &, in His infinite benevolence, the Great Lord RNGod granted me 3 girls from 6 orbs. Praise be, etc..

Edit: ignore -- my numbers were out!

One (1) girl - Festival Toshiko - from 40 EP*1 orbs. A pretty lousy return when looked at in isolation but, up until now, I'd been enjoying a run of good luck with my EP*1 orbs so, overall, i can't complain.

My D2 for this week. 104 players. Highest level: 424; lowest level: 282. 19 level 400+ players at the top + a few players who seem to have prioritised yesterday's LC over league management at the bottom. First impressions are that this could be a pretty tough league for me -- I should still finish in the top 30 but I suspect I'll have to use more boosters than I'd like.

Similar problem here: I used 5 MP*1 orbs (+ the free spin from the MP refresh) once the LC contest finally appeared yet I've only received 2700 points. One can argue that 10,800 points (or 13,500 points if the free spin is included) is not a huge amount & will be dwarfed by the points i accumulate when i use my Epic orbs but it's still quite possible that the absence of the additional points which i should have been awarded could see me fall short of a higher rewards threshold in the final standings so I would like the matter to be put right. For ease of reference, my Hentai Heroes ID is: 2709737. I have attached a screenshot of my current score (which, as you will see, is lower than it should be). I did not take a screenshot of my MP orbs before using them as i did not expect to encounter a bug. Additionally, a member of the club I am in has not received any points for an Epic orb he used (though, thankfully, he noticed its failure to register immediately &, consequently, has not used any further orbs).

Used 5 MP*1 orbs but only one has registered 🙄

18th in my D2 which, due to the absolute madness on the final day, was unusually high-scoring. No unused tokens but I had to farm XP from losses (ie losing by the largest possible margin) for the last dozen-or-so opponents.

449,930 points secured 3rd place in my group (lvl. 281-320 bracket). Judging by the posts in this thread the competition in the lvl. 401+ bracket groups appears to have been pretty brutal.

Not sure: whatever World bundles + a daily card (usually gold or platinum) + the occasional promotional bundle (if it's competitively priced) over the course of 4-5 months (i didn't buy anything for the first ~6-8 weeks) tallies up to. I doubt it's a huge amount - admittedly, 'huge', in this context, is a subjective term - but I'm certainly not F2P either. FWIW it's nowhere near enough to make a noticeable difference to my monthly credit card bill.
