Hastur

All players are welcome regardless of level. Each contributes to us as players & the Club as a whole in their own way. 😀 Regular activity, a willingness to help others & a good nature are the things we look for most. I've read a lot of your posts- I think you'll find a good home here & we'd be happy to have you with us! Apply in-game when your cooldown ends & you're in! 👍

Thanks for all of your hard work, George. Sharing your knowledge of the game mechanics has helped many of us become better players! Just think- now you'll have an extra 20 hours/day suddenly freed-up!

EDIT: I misunderstood & panicked when I saw the Awaken button, thought it'd cost Gems so didn't click it. Now I see that it works, no Gems spent & I was wrong.

...and accepted! Welcome to our Club!

@TheArmydude We're looking forward to having you & @Keep Pounding join us! Thanks for your interest- I'll look for your request in ~24hrs. then! 😃👍

Chad: "Hey, watch out! I've got 4 matching poses for my girl, Mika, so you punks better be ready for a beat-down!" Blue Ballers: "Pfft. What-ever!" 🙄 *spanks Chad in <24hrs* Wouldn't you like to join the party? We have instant availability for one new Clubmate & we'll make room for more active members. Apply in-game, then join us & our Club Forum. Let's have some fun & deal with this whole Awakening thing, too, while we're at it! 😉 #StrongerTogether

I'm late to the party but posting what may be my last hurrah achievable milestone. Hopefully not- we shall see- but just in case... yay 900+ girls! (#900: Fuckland Gwenaelle- how ironic! 🥴)

#MeToo When CxH (Beta) came online, I'd hoped (then) that it would be used as a development Sandbox since so many experienced HH players would be there, yet on a level playing field. Any negative repercussions would be far less severe amongst a tighter group of players, gameplay could be more efficiently & fairly analyzed, successes could be ported to HH and failures could be isolated & corrected more easily. Crazy thoughts, I know. 🤪 At this point, I hope it doesn't happen. CxH is my little bastion of sanity (along with my HH Club) that I can enjoy at a relaxed pace. There are "days off" with no events, fewer girls to chase per event, more balanced competition... the kind of fun I had in HH when I started. I'll try to enjoy that as long as I can while the dust settles here.

@Zorrow Our average level is ~292. You'd catch up in no time with the +10% Club XP boost. 💨

@Raggie Our current levels range from 455-118; 8 members are below level 175. I wish you luck with your leadership change, but if it doesn't work out, give us a look- I'm sure you'd fit right in! 😉 We could find room for your current clubmates, too, if they're active more-or-less daily.

I agree with the need for filters for Elements. Other filters ARE useful for fights, though- hair, eyes, zodiac sign, rarity & pose can all be affected by Blessings which arguably have a greater impact on team selection than Elements currently do.

Normally not, no, but for the past 8.5 days (coinciding with, but allegedly not because of, last week's patch) Bundle prices are in Euros for many (all?) players regardless of region. Season Pass, Monthly Card & direct Koban purchases still should reflect local currency based upon IP address. Kinkoid is aware of the issue and is working to correct it. Hopefully it will be resolved & soon. 🤞 EDIT: I should clarify that I've experienced this for over a week but it may be different for other players.

@Dardah @RisenRed @Tiger45 @Kenochi @6000 @ValorMor @Luna21 @fengchidiance @Dei Sexmachina @Frankdefeo @Bangk34 @chenzhen999 @djrapace @locope @hhvip2012ccc @Hotassryan42 @Johncomealot Hello! Each of you has expressed interest in joining our Club section of the forum and possible membership in-game. Please accept my apologies for not writing sooner. Your timing had caught us in a holding pattern- a period of low activity vs. Club Champions (CCs) and, sadly, our former leader choosing to leave the game. 😢😬 We realize that some of you may simply have been interested in our forums only; you may have already been part of another Club, or perhaps have already found a new home elsewhere. If so, that's great- we hope your harems are growing & that you're enjoying the game with your friends! 😄👍 I assure you that we've remained active and quite viable during this time, and now that we have active leadership again & new girls to win over, we'd like to extend an invitation to each of you to join us if you're so inclined. 🤝 Feel free to send an in-game request- we have one immediate opening and can do a little housekeeping with inactive players to make room for more of you. 👐 We've had better success with members joining in-game first, then accepting or extending invitations to our forum second. Considering recent circumstances, it seemed unfair to do this the other way around with no chance to do anything constructive in-game. I hope you understand, I thank you for your interest and look forward to accepting those of you still interested into the Blue Balls Club! 🔵🔵🔵

There are a lot of poignant posts here, but the one above strikes a nerve. Not only can I empathize, I feel that it's extremely relevant to nearly every player in the game. To me, "catching up" means "being competitive with" & "having a similar number of girls as" almost any player that started the game when it launched. That was my objective shortly after I started & I feel it was, and perhaps still is, at least kind of achievable. If it offers you some hope, here's my profile: https://www.hentaiheroes.com/hero/2717984/profile.html In my Club & in these Forums, though, I try to put myself in new players' positions and wonder, "If I started in the last few months instead of last year, where would I be? Would I still be here?" I don't really have good answers; each month becomes more difficult than the last. This too- very powerful. Players want enjoyment, not frustration & hopelessness. (I feel terrible for you on your first Mythic girl!) Yes! Relevancy! Fun!!! Using girls... sooner rather than later (or never if forgotten/"lost in the harem" 😢)! Maybe even just to see & read affection scenes! That would be GREAT! Did we say FUN? 😃 Not quite true about maxed harems, though. Some people may have their harems maxed, but "high level" is relative & those players typically have a much larger volume of (more expensive) girls. (I'll never have my harem maxed as long as new girls keep spawning like they do, unless I stop collecting them... which sort of defeats the purpose of the game.) Problem... "resolution..." next problem! *whew* Crisis averted! 🙃😵😜 "What's that funny symbol that's usually a $ for the price in USD? Euros, huh? Well, I might want to buy something like that- especially now- but I dunno. It's only been 7-1/2 days since my Support Ticket was sent in both HH & CxH. Maybe they'll fix it in the next 5-ish hours." (Yes, I understand that the Technical Team is still investigating, that other players are affected, etc.) Items are worth less... my local currency is worth less.... 🙄 Yes! When there's a time lag between buffs & nerfs, the correlation is hard to see. Worse, if a nerf comes FIRST, then the subsequent buff seldom (if ever) seems to offset it. Equally bad, if buffs happened so long ago that a player never received the benefits in the first place, for that player there is ONLY a nerf. And even when players are told "changes are coming," if we aren't aware of what & when, those changes may hit like a ton of bricks. It's human nature to forget the good & remember the bad. But at least if there's a little good to offset the bad at the same time players could see (or be directed to) the attempted balance. There doesn't need to be anything specific ("Market items sell prices will be lowered by 91.8960679%"), but a one-week notice in the Patch Notes to the effect of, "Market items sell prices will be reduced upon next week's patch" would go a long way. It'd be even better if words like "greatly," "significantly," or "slightly" were used, but even if not players would know that something is going to be different & they can decide for themselves to act or wait. I'll trust that to be so, but meanwhile, there is currently and suddenly a deficit of Ymens until the balance update(s). That hurts. Not forever 🤞 but indefinitely as far as players are aware.

Well said & thank you, Mods- you caught it with both barrels today, AS players & FROM players. You deserve more than just our appreciation. And that's the part that hurts- a lot of wasted time & effort (for players & developers alike), all for naught. Too many major changes too quickly. Not only are the proverbial goalposts 🥅 moving during play, but there's different balls 🏉⚽⚾🎳 on the field at the same time, some players have sticks 🏒, others lost their skis & boots 🎿 and the rules are being written on-the-fly while the clock ⏲️ ticks ever on. Bugs can happen anytime. This one could've been lurking for awhile (who knows?), was game-breaking & obviously demanded immediate intervention. I'm honestly glad it was resolved (or at least negated via rollback, with some compensation & apology), across multiple platforms, as quickly as it was. No matter how bad, it could always be worse. Having a few days in-between events would give some time for new "features" to be incorporated with less chance for severe negative impacts on players, even in the current "live-testing" environment. So now that I've had ~17 hours to (somewhat) calm down & ATTEMPT to salvage what I can for this League, this Event & so far this whole month, I'm trying to find a silver lining... and laugh so I don't cry. "RPG-style immersion? Heck, we can top that!" Yes! I truly feel like "Hastur in Fuckland!" Now where's my hookah?!? 😜

And it's only the package/bundle price; Season Pass, monthly card & kobans are still (for me) in local currency and normal pricing (USD). The initial reply to my Support Ticket indicates that this "change" wasn't necessarily intended.... I have not attempted a bundle purchase to see if it's a "visual bug" since Euros aren't at a favorable exchange rate for me. 😉

Laughter is good for the soul! I only claimed my suggestion was one option and an easy one at that; I know it's part of my delusional fantasies. 😆 Those are all realistic & good outcomes to hope for. 👍 Agreed. I am afraid of this delaying legitimate, actionable requests and hopefully this is not the case. Considering the global nature of the issue, I was surprised that I'd not even received a canned acknowledgement but I have no doubt their staff was swamped trying to get patches in place, patching the patches & having people investigate & answer what they could. I knew about the weekend time off, was not aware of the bank holiday. Good to know, thanks! 👍 Me too. It, personal frustration and a severe lack of sleep led me down this rabbit hole. Thank you for acknowledging what I wrote with professionalism & sincerity. I think I felt the need to react to what seemed to me as a poorly planned & disastrously executed implementation with a ludicrous "solution" of my own. Let's hope that all legitimate issues are resolved in short order & that future rollouts can avoid similar bad results by better planning. I'll quit derailing this thread now.

Indeed. Thank you for supplying so many details! 🙌 Forgive me for quoting you to support my post here- I know there's nothing you personally can do and again I'm grateful for what you've already done! Yep, lucky me. (HH.com; Support Ticket sent over 36 hours ago; no reply) Note that as I write a clubmate in D1 JUST claimed League rewards- received the new ones EXCEPT for shards (zero)... for which their ranking had been eligible (I asked them to enter a Support ticket,too). So perhaps this is more widespread than first thought? 🤷‍♂️ I'm hoping to get the shards that I should've received as other players did. I mean, this is an "exclusive" girl after all! 🤬 However, this situation is such a cluster-fuck that affects the entire active player base that I can't imagine what would be "fair and equitable" for any given player at this point. Not to mention the amount of time & effort Kinkoid Support will have to spend trying to sort out who claimed what when, what they should have gotten, and what (if they bothered to enter a Support ticket) they're asking for in compensation. But fair doesn't always need to be equitable. No player should be penalized (real or perceived) for compounding errors initiated by the developers. The game moves on, resources are being spent, League positioning is being fought for, plans for next week (and possibly the next 5+ weeks!) are being made, etc. Don't laugh- I already know the following suggestion will never happen but I'm a glutton for punishment so I gotta write it. One easy and classy way to resolve the situation would be for Kinkoid to step up and grant a one-time, game-wide disbursement of current/new D3 #1 rewards (6 EPx1 orbs, 7,218 kobans, 14 Worship & x50 shards on Dolly) to each player active in the past League, period. Yes, that's total overkill for nearly all of the player base, but it takes away every complaint, every feeling of being short-changed by every player resulting from this latest snafu. "But I expected my EPx10 orb!" "Buy it." "I was counting on those Kisses!" "Buy them." "I wanted that Worship!" "Done." "Other players have shards- why not me?" "You're halfway there now- gratz." "Whoa- I got (or will get) Dolly this week (or real soon)- what next?" "Relax & enjoy, IDK." "I would have changed my League (or not) had I known..." "Whatever- you got the best reward in the game. Do with that what you will- you wouldn't have earned anything close if you were previously in a position to change Leagues. Enjoy!" "But I already took #1 D3 & claimed the new rewards including x50 shards." "Swell. Now you have Dolly and you got the rewards in total that you'd have normally gotten one last time. Good job!" "Wow- I really made bank on this whole deal & didn't really need it all." "Well, we wanted to make 100% sure that EVERYONE knows they're valued. Thanks for playing our game & being part of our community. Your next PoA is on us!" This is all "soft currency" that doesn't directly cost the company money. It might actually save hard costs by immediately relieving a burden from Support. It might keep people (p2p or f2p) from rage-quitting. Probably players will appreciate the good faith gesture and maybe even complain a little less about other changes. No, it isn't equitable. Some players still get more than others. But no player loses anything, without a doubt. And that's MORE than fair. Mistakes happen. We get it. But none of this is our fault. Please just try to make this right for all players, whatever you do, Kinkoid. 😇

I know she's obtainable as I received her ~12-13 hours ago. Apparently I was one of the lucky ones. 🍀🤞🙏🙌

She definitely does (or should!). I completed the final chapter in "On the Prowl" about 12 hours ago (so, shortly after your post). IIRC, she was obtained on the very last storyboard/page/whatever of "Take My Breath Away" by clicking the "reward" icon which unlocked the "Bush Operations" Adventure & "Welcome to the Jungle" chapter. If you don't see that next Adventure as open to you, perhaps you didn't click the "reward" icon. You might also need to log out, possibly clear your browser cache, then log back in & look again. If you DO see it, but still somehow don't have Chinchica, you should enter a Support Ticket (Settings -> Support -> Create Ticket -> Bug Report) in-game. The fact that she doesn't appear in your Harem search might be a visual bug. I didn't look before I obtained her but obviously she's there for me now that I have her; you might be experiencing a visual bug. (I don't see "Bang," the next Story girl, as available in my harem... but I DO see the 3 new villain/boss girls available, for example.)

Developer attention to League balancing was long overdue and any effort towards achieving better balance is a step in the right direction! I'll give Kinkoid the benefit of the doubt in that they crunched tons of data in order to arrive at the new reward types/amounts & that they factored in all sorts of extraneous desired outcomes affecting overall gameplay. (Maybe not, but I'm trying to be positive & keep my hopes up!) More players getting EPx1 orbs (in general) is definitely a good thing! Considering the current rate at which girls drop from EPx1 orbs combined with the amount of new EP girls being released each month I'd argue that even the new orb amounts are too few overall. Perhaps adding 2 in each applicable category would be fair. I realize that this would effectively nullify the nerfs in every category (except arguably D3 #1) but don't see how an extra 8 orbs/qualifying winner (94)/month would be game-breaking. On average that's what- one girl every 8 weeks or so? Koban rebalancing was desperately needed!!! I wish I could've gotten onto the D3 top-4 koban printing press but that steep curve needed to end sooner rather than later (a year or two ago would've been better than now, but now is better than next year or never). Serious congratulations to long-time, high level players that were able to make bank... but that wasn't sustainable for the overall game. Of course I'd rather that all other categories be raised instead but I'm pretty sure Kinkoid wouldn't be making any money that way... and it would honestly smash an already broken system into tinier pieces. As a player caught in the "D2 #16-30 min/max trap" & with many clubmates teetering between S3 & D1, I immediately noticed the unannounced anomalies in the nerfs to the #16-30 & #31-45 positions regarding kobans. I presume this was intended by Kinkoid to push gently nudge/incentivize players into more appropriate Leagues, which too is a good thing... except for: "Exclusive" girl shards. Please. Stop. PLEASE STOP. Pretty please with sugar on top. Exclusive (if non-recurring, never-ever) is the antithesis of fun, especially in a "gotta collect them all" type game where winning = getting all the girls (until the next new girls are released, of course! 😉). There really should always be some mechanism to try again, whether through *ahem* Date Tokens (or similar mechanic), inclusion in MP and/or OD/revival, repeat appearance in a future League, etc. I'm happy to earn shards on girls that can only be obtained via a specific game mechanic (similar to permanent PoPs). That's most excellent- gives another reason to participate/compete. Totally cool there. 😎 Having a 6-week duration essentially adds another 6-week LC (with 6 weekly "checkpoints" as opposed to 4 dailies). And I've yet to encounter a player in HH whose enjoyment comes from obtaining a girl at another player's expense- "for me to win you might not get her" doesn't sit well with me, at least. As others have pointed out, this feature appears targeted towards veteran players. That's fine (exclusivity aside) & I'm sure that it is, except that the rewards don't correlate well to the corresponding Leagues. In my case, I need to weigh promoting into D3 for potentially better koban rewards and risking worse placement (equating to less kobans AND NOW SHARDS), or "sandbagging" in D2 #16-60 in order to guarantee the girl in 6 weeks while simultaneously guaranteeing a loss of koban revenue. If I happen to be the only player in the game that does that, well, those are my risk/reward choices to make. If large numbers of other players are weighing those decisions (and they likely are!), and if they (like me) are thinking, "well, I can always get kobans some other way but I can only get this one girl right now this one way..." and they also milk a lower League... then we really haven't rebalanced anything- we've simply nerfed some things and created a net-loss. Probably the last thing we needed in HH is a new form of currency in the way of Worship, but we have it now & that's alright I guess. As all Pantheon girls are obtainable sooner or later over time, I don't see any urgency in accelerating my progress but free rewards to that end is fine. Yet I see more value in Kisses through League rewards and would prefer those based upon their usefulness to players of all levels (contests, KC, etc.). Presumably Kinkoid desires more players to spend their ticket hoard not only on Club Champions but Sex Champions as well, that players would try harder to complete their 8 tiers and keep going so as to earn Kisses through that particular method? 🤷‍♂️ Perhaps in a near-future release, Worship rewards in Leagues might be replaced with a Date Token-equivalent that might be used only for "exclusive, non-recurring" League girls with incomplete shard amounts? That could maintain "exclusivity" as not all girls in the game would be eligible, yet come infrequently enough (weekly) that it's not a viable strategy to "dodge" the competition altogether while still offering hope for players that had "a bad break" or were unlucky enough to progress into a high enough League to earn 100 shards in 6 weeks. 🙏 [EDIT: While I'm not so sure, speculation among other clubmates is that League shards IS the "new upcoming feature" into which those 2 girls being removed from Classic Events will land- thus my discussion in this post. Plus we're talking about the main economic engine, orbs & overall balance. Apologies if off-topic.] Hopefully the two girls being removed from Classic Events both come from the EP-only ones rather than bosses/villains. Classic Events should be for targeting specific (somewhat-)"exclusive" girls and it's both challenging & rewarding (I think) for most players to obtain as many as possible via Combativity during that timeframe. That's fun for new & veteran players alike (at least for me). With the overall decreases in EPx1 orbs and odds of obtaining a girl per orb, having 2 less girls requiring EP spins will offset some of the pressure and in turn maintain better balance. Reducing the number of girls available via Combativity during a Classic Event (presuming the same Event duration) would leave many players twiddling their thumbs regarding combats while simultaneously straining koban & EP orb resources even further (causing further imbalance). Now, if EPx1 orbs were to return to combat rewards (if only during this time), that might be a whole other story.... I'm afraid that the "new upcoming feature" in which these two formerly-Classic Event girls might appear in will be yet another event altogether or some other mechanism of "exclusivity." We already have events stacked atop each other; the thought of possibly shortening the Classic Event timeframe (especially if they yank them off of villains/bosses and because, y'know, there's two less girls overall) makes my head hurt 🤕 & the thought of something totally new & unexpected (and unasked-for) makes my brain want to explode. 🤯 On the subjects of balancing & "exclusivity," there's always the financial aspect. I choose to pay to play. I devote time, effort & some measure of skill to this game and offset my shortcomings with cash (which directly benefits Kinkoid & I and, indirectly, all players by way of helping keep the game that little bit more profitable). That's fine as long as obtaining all the girls is achievable and financially feasible. Should that goal become impossible- missing once-in-a-lifetime chances of obtaining girls due to too few resources being spread over too many conflicting features & events & whatever stuff- then there certainly won't be any reason for me to continue paying anything. It's seldom a good idea to butcher a cash-cow. You might get a lot of yummy meat all at once if you do it right, but there won't be any more milk from that one. You probably won't miss it if you can keep milking a big enough herd, but if you start slaughtering the whole herd you might have some long-term problems.

Kinkoid isn't fixing bugs or making enhancements, but they announced back in February their intent to keep the HCL server online & that they'd continue to accept payments. It's probably that the login server needs a reboot; the main game server is still "up" since it can be reached. Finally, this is an issue that they've had & resolved (temporarily) before, including AFTER the announcement for "suspended support" in February. It'll likely be resolved as in the past- when their staff returns to work during normal hours. They're not going to wake someone up in the middle of the night to deal with this though....

Please no... not until after the whole Champion combat system gets realigned to the new mechanics & the shard amounts increase back to something reasonable. After last month's debacle with a 4th Club Champion, we had 1/3 of our Club going after her & 2/3 still stuck on the prior girl. Half of those battling for the earlier girl were those that could only hope to gain a minimal shard drop, which went from a potential of x3 down to a mere x1 (period). No matching poses possible on the new (KH) girl meant that it was easier for many of us to over-score our allotment while simultaneously crushing other members' best efforts. This added an additional level of misery regarding coordination of efforts- something difficult enough to do in normal circumstances among members across the globe, now compounded by too many changes & types of battles going on simultaneously. Seeing that this month the CC Tier didn't decay means that it will only be more of a grind for those struggling to catch up. I was ELATED this month to see Kumiko return again and, at the current rate, would be grateful to continue to see repeats for the next several months so that others (who are participating EVERY challenge!) have a chance to be rewarded for their overall helpfulness. Regarding Sex Champions- I have the same issues with the mechanics (i.e., nerf) & would prefer keeping my tickets for the CC (to help my clubmates and because there WILL be new girls for sure) but at least here I could choose my own pace without affecting anyone else.

First the Anniversary is late & then when it arrives... I'm beginning to wonder if Bunny wants to break up. "No, Hastur, it's not you, it's me." 🤔😢

I won't be surprised & I'm alright with it. Hopefully with the new combat system they'll start adding stars to 3* & *gasp* 1* girls to make them more relevant. Else all they've accomplished is moving from 3 different groups of 3 Mythics based on class to everybody striving for 7-9 Mythics & rotating those only based upon weekly blessings/elements with no other girls really mattering. At that point, they might as well just forget the pretense of any "game" here & just make this a monthly subscription or pay-to-view site to see other girls & affection scenes.
