Shorty-er

Start??? All tits deserve attention, certainly from KK. And we can then all take our pick for personal preference. But lately... I'm afraid that the "in comparison" is what will kill the game for me. For example, in comparison the Clockwork Lassies are indeed smaller. However, without comparison, they're all still fairly big and D or DD sized.

Unfortunately, those are all "old" girls. It seems as if the current artists think (or are ordered to think) breasts start at DD and grow bigger from there. These girls do absolutely nothing for me. The extra work from girl gear does nothing for me. DP does nothing for me. I'm done. I have no idea why I'm still playing this game. I'm going casual, will not renew my card when it expires, and will try to slowly add all the nice, "old" girls I haven't added to my harem yet. More likely I'll get bored with manually collecting from the girls and will quit completely.

Heads up: L5 Levitya is up today. I can't make such pretty posts as Ravi does, he can delete or edit my post when he gets around to it

I got to 750 today, which is completely due to me getting very easy tasks, particularly on the left side. No market refreshes, no nothing. Only trouble was making sure I didn't accidentally end up too high in the league; I don't want to promote. No doubt I'll finish it all before it's over, and I still hate the event format. Too much RNG and takes too much time. RNGesus working for me for a change doesn't change that. Clearly I'm not getting the premium path, 6600 is too many for a legendary girl and KK might take it as a sign that I like the event.

Thanks. I did search before I posted, but that did not come up. Good to know it's not just me. Or stupid. Or crazy. Alright, move along now, nothing to see here...

I have no idea if this is new or if I've just never noticed before, but... the text for great pachinko x 10 says it guarantees 10 items. Today I collected on a few orbs, and got anywhere from 5 to 9 items. Only once did I get 10 items. And yes, I am aware sometimes I can get the same item twice, that's why there's a 1 or 2 on them :D. Am I crazy? Or stupid? Bug? RNG?

And the pesky little chest icon is gone too. Excellent work.

That is not really a recent trend. A couple of years ago I remarked on the same and said most new girls were big on tits and ass, and low on quality, as if big t&a was enough to cover for the lack of quality. I think quality has improved since, unfortunately the trend in "assets" hasn't. It's rare these days there's a new girl that catches my eye but as @Horsting said, the voting seems to point to the majority enjoying it. These days I tell myself it might be a good thing. It allows me to select girls to work towards adding or ignore strictly based on stats, position, etc. instead of my annoying visual preferences getting in the way :D.

Probably the wrong thing to compare to, there was plenty opposition to that as well as I recall. It also doesn't help that KK can't be bothered to fix the bugs in that feature before dropping the next big (buggy) thing. Aside from that: Mythic gear doesn't take an hour or 2 every week. It's something I'm slowly developing. Sometimes a piece drops and I go "Hey, look at that! That's an upgrade! Cool" and move on. Let's just agree to disagree, we clearly see things differently. And that's fine too.

Others have said plenty to answer this question, I'll just add this: Number-crunching capable players here have predicted that it's unlikely that girl gear will ever change your selection of top 7 girls for a team. So we all spend hours, each, equipping gear, only so that we add a little buff that's more or less the same as the other players do. Keep in mind that the differences between different rarity is limited. So all this time, to in effect end up right where we were, and even for whales(*) to get a very limited advantage..., yeah, that, to me, is boring as fuck. It's OK if you feel different, I'm happy for you. (*) I'm not a whale, and don't know how much $ an average whale drops. But I can't imagine people dropping a lot of $ on something with this low of a drop rate for useful items.

Maybe our definition of casual player is different, but before I took a break I had never paid a single $, and had 3 or 4 mythical girls. At that time they hadn't been introduced for that long, so I got 1/2 or 1/3 of every MG that came along. It's all about priorities.

I have no issues with KK not only covering costs but making money as well. I'm contributing to that myself. I have issues with the game becoming more boring, more tedious, and a bigger time sink all at the same time. This thing didn't make the game more expensive for me, as there is no way I will ever pay a single koban for these rubbish orbs.

Can do too. We'll see if I end up hurting myself. Doesn't hurt to try, doesn't hurt to *not* turn in those FOKK orbs. Problem is: there is no way to check other player's girl's gear in PvP, and many players don't read this forum. But we'll see. Well, it's *possible* we're all wrong. I wont say anything about childish tantrums, but let's keep it at wrong. Maybe loads of players are spending loads of koban on these FOKK orbs. Who knows? Well, Rosso will know, but KK will never tell. But even if we're wrong, and I'm wrong, about how financially sound this is for KK, I'm not wrong about how boring this is for me. Speaking as someone who had a conversation like that with a doctor before surgery (will similar odds), I can confirm actual docs use the 1st version, and I was darn glad she did. I had a bit of a scare, even now 1 year after the surgery, when I read this and realized that yes, 1 in 10 I wouldn't have been here anymore. Oops!😟 Thanks Divvie for pointing that out!

I am already bored with Mythical gear for the hero. The odds of getting something useful are so low, I won't try to get new pieces. They'll drop when they drop, and sooner or later I'll get something useful. If I look forward to getting mythical gear, it's too much of a disappointment every time. As for mythical girl gear, aside from quality of life things like an "equip team" button I think KK need to drop the pose from the resonance bonus. That'll cause a massive reduction in gear to aspire to. Without a reduction like that, QoL adjustments alone won't save this stinking mess "feature". The game is turning into an incredible time sink, and getting more and more boring at the same time.

I don't know what emote to choose. It's funny cause it's true? Or it's sad because it's true

I read your post about that, and the reactions with calculations. I think especially for casuals (like me) that is a really good idea. I'm wondering how much XP/items and yemen I'll loose in the process, but given that such items will likely be used for quite a while it's likely an acceptable loss. Thanks for highlighting that route.

That is my thinking too. Unfortunately that does mean a lot of micromanagement when replacing gear with slightly better gear and deciding what can now safely be used to upgrade. I will give it until my silver card runs out, because who knows, I could be wrong. But I expect this will end my return to HH. I simply don't like the direction the game is heading, and has been heading for a few years now. I don't even like most of the new girls. Edit: Have the rewards for PoV and PoG have been retroactively changed to include the new FOKK orbs? Or did I just not notice the new color?

I like Norou, but fortunately she's premium. I can't be bothered with the rest, so my practice of ignoring PoA survives for another month.

I wanted to get her, but I won't commit with such ridiculous low number of available shards. This is a little side-game for me, not something I'll set an alarm for to be online at the right times to farm some shards, and repeat that every 2 hours. KK could have gotten my koban (and indirectly some more $), instead i'll save them for another mythic. Shrug. I didn't like the limited shards mechanic when it was introduced, and I still don't like it.

I would have included a screenshot if I had realized sooner why you guys take a screenshot at 99 potions :D. This event was entirely new to me. Forum search helped, but doing it I learned more. First team ended it with a bit over 50% left, and I had a 2nd team with next bonuses ready, so no problems. With 5 teams allowed, and me still busy with "awakening" my harem (currently on 500) I can't imagine this event ever being a problem. Unless I start leveling my account much faster than my girls ;). Only (eventually) the first 4 girls actually "fought" with the boss, so I could have replaced girls 5-7 with some more heals or defense.

Had those two left to add. Normally I wouldn't try too hard for green or yellow, but Santa Claudia, she's special ;). I figured I would at least give it a couple of orbs. So I could tell myself I had at least tried, right? First orb: Claudia joins my harem! It's not often, but sometimes the game compensates me for all the weird RNG :D.

Edit: as Bolitho has pointed out this has already been reported. Can a mod delete this topic pls? There is a bug with upgrading mythical gear that destroys gear. To replicate: select mythical item to upgrade; select any item to be included, then deselect it; fill the requirement with other items; Upgrade mythical item. The result will be that not only the selected items are gone (as they should) but any selected-then-deselected items are still removed as well. I just lost a lvl 15 myth item this way! I wanted to see for how much it would count. Then deselected it, filled requirement with other gear, upgraded, and still lost the mythical item. How do I go about getting that back? Likely related to this: if you keep selecting and deselecting one item of gear, the requirement left to fill will actually go UP. It looks as if deselecting an item will only optically deselect them, but not actually remove them. Hence being included in the upgrade. Selecting it again doesn't change anything (since they were already still included in the backend), de-selecting them again then removes the visual indicator and raises the requirement left to fill. Keep clicking, and you see the requirement to fill rising.

I didn't recognize it as PoA as it isn't mentioned in game, but I saw it mentioned elsewhere too. It's changed a bit in looks since the introduction. I didn't like it back then, still don't like it. At least I'm consistent :D. I'll see how far I get. Still on a journey of re-discovery since I started playing again.

Sage is kinda nice and Leiani has some potential but they're L3, so meh. The poll is missing options for Goals. Something like "Whatever I happen to pick up, otherwise ignoring the event". I mean, really? An event for L3 girls? There is literally nothing less useful in the game than an L3. The only thing I'd want is the one MG. But that's far to deep in and I'm not willing to jump through all these hoops to get there. I'm saving my combativity for something else.

Definitely with DvDiv on this one. I used to try hard on contests, trying to snipe wins and all. I've since taken a much more relaxed view. I mostly just play the game, slow and steady gets me (almost) enough koban for what I want, and I happily miss the daily midday stress. I pick my battles, try-hard for the ones I want, and meh through the rest. It's a game, so I try and optimize *fun*, not "smart" play. Otoh... I did wait with claiming some of the other girls in this months various paths. That said, I got Maki on the first day . Also, the poll. I have no preference for Ben's work. I can't recognize it (yet) and when it's been identified on the forum it often seems to be more of what's HH style these days: large everything. (I like the first 2, maybe 3 girls in Fae Fantasies, weren't they also all done by Ben?) So no, so far I don't prefer Ben's work but also don't particularly like Maki, and that leaves me with "drool" (eh nope) or "vomit" (no, she's not *that* bad!). So, no vote for silly polls.
