TeeJay

I may have missed this in the Patch notes, but I just started my next round in Places of Power and the power requirements for a few of the quests seems to have jumped up considerably. Is it me or is this a new thing? For reference, my costs for the secondary quests used to be in the low 90s, now they're up in the 120s. I've not changed anything.

Well, now that's it's past 4am my time and the event is up I can say... The event girl is Flight Attendant and I'm happy to complete lots of missions to get her. The rest that are available on bosses for me are so-so. The only one I'm half interested in is Tanned Mocca. Unfortunately, for me (again), there's a few in Pachinko I'd like but I'll never get. But such is the way.

So, the only two available girls for me were Serena and Spectra. I decided to try for Serena but the drop rates have been dismal both in rarity and value. I've not experience a drop yet that entices me to spend Kobans on extra battles. Currently, I'm at a grand total of 15 shards from the course of the event. Events like this in the past, I have achieved several girls. This event doesn't feel like anything achievable unless you invest a large amount of Kobans and then, at that point, it seems like something that would be a lackluster prize with how thousands you'd end up spending on refills just to get 1 girl.

Well, she doesn't look tooooooooo bad. But, not sure how to rate her yet. But, so far, the drop rate I'm having with her isn't that swell. And as I'm still new in this and FtP, I don't have a large sum of Gold Bars to do exploratory Arena battles with to see if crushing my opponent is going to yield any higher shard drop rate results. And dam, does she have long legs.

What do you mean by 'boss girls'?

Well, I managed to get all the Carrots held hostage by villains as well as Lolop. Working on Hari but I'm sure she'll join up as well. I'm only doing Epic P to see if I can win any one (where I got Lolop). I have all the other Villain girls so not much left to do. I managed I think 8 shards for Silver Lupa and that helped me with Bunny's Mom. Or, Bunny's Mom helped me get 8 shards for Silver Lupa. And I guess that's about all there is for this Anniversary.

Well, to toss in my 2 cents, This is a terrible idea. I'll leave it at that.

Wow, they all look really good. I guess that's why they're Top Tier (the get the best artists).

*looks at all the shadows* Holy Crap! It's the Legion of Shadow Bunnies. And there's a wolf amongst them. Sneaky Wolf.

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh, so retro and pretty :). I like the old layout better. And, yeah, still stuck on the new one. Desktop, Firefox.

Urrrg, just started the tier 18, 120 villain battle trial. I'll have to spend some Kobans for refills, I'm sure. Not much but some. Once more, it's the tier 19 score points that has me wondering what will come up. most times it's a rather lousy contest that I would not normally try for. So, maybe, this time it'll be something interesting. For tier 20, I'm waiting for Thursday to do my final battles. I'll have to do refills there, as well, as I don't think I'll get enough time for all free refills. Still, it's only 50 battles and I may be able to pull that off between 30 Tower and 20 Season. Just an 10 refill time window. We shall see.

So, I managed to make it all the way through this time. Not much to show for it I think as most of the winnings went back into the process. Still, was kind of nice to be able to complete as I couldn't finish the last one. Still, I look at the heroines I got and wonder if I truly won or lost. I got Gilded Tit and Naughty Shrike. I can't tell much about them as I need to conserve my resources in order to raise the ones I need. It's Shrike that my wonderings keep returning to. I look at her, her body, her face, and I can't help but feel that if I lifted up her skirt, there'd be a willie-johnson hiding out there. I try to think who she's a parody of and I keep coming up with a feminized version of either Marylin Manson or Iggy Pop.

Well, I guess it was due to happen. Not sure if the full Comix player base is ready for it. On a side note, I see someone's taken some creative fun liberty with the letter designation for the Shadow Bunnies.

So I'm going to address a point I haven't seen touched upon yet for the new system and that's how the Arena or what ever we're going to call it is portrayed. Under the old system, the orgasm bar represented how well you brought your harem member to orgasm. The Ego represented your confidence. When one opponent achieved harem orgasm, the other opponent lost Ego due to awe of their opponent's ability or something. The Judges, each representing a type of sexual approach, Charming/Romantic, pure knowledge, or raw kinky passion, were there to judge your performance. Their little bias indicated a leaning to their preferred sexual type. Finally, the person who had their Ego knocked down the most lost the competition. All that seemed to fit in well with the way the world is kind of described. But now, looking at the competition it's Girl comes up, opponent loses Ego. Opponent's girl comes up, You lose Ego. Back and forth it goes until one person is out of Ego. What is supposed to be happening now? There is no orgasm. There is no sexuality leanings. Its just girls popping up and you losing Ego. What are they supposed to be doing? Henpecking the opponent? Insulting the sexual prowess of the other? One might say this is similar to the Champions now, but the Champions was always a judgement call of showing off your prowess to, well, the Champions. See... this is how well I listen and match this girl's likes (matching to rated sexual position). Coupled with ... This is how well I can keep going to prove my sexual prowess (Ego). Also, the Champion sticks with one girl. No matter the position, he's synced up with her enough to go the distance and he's most likely going to keep going for the long run as it's a measuring of skill and ability instead of a dispute or competition. Having watched the new combat system (for lack of any better terms), it really doesn't feel like what the Haremverse used to be. It looks much more like combat with your monster/soldier/robot bashing the opponent's HP until their down and out and they doing the same to you. I think Kinkoid has lost the feel of the Theme of their own game.

Yeah, the drop rate felt really stiffled this time. I spent too much combativity in the final day just to earn a few shards necessary to boost each of the girls from their low-mid 90s into 100. Worse, I spent 3600 Kobans on trying the Mythic with no special success. Worse, worse was I forgot to click the last day event before I went to work and discovered the 6.40 event was not completed with only 6 hours left in the day. Fortunately, I discovered for myself that as long as you complete that event, you still get the event girl. Now to go off and nurse myself back up to a reasonable amount of Kobans.

Yeah, so, I really used too many Kobans on the last event. Stupidly used them. As such, I didn't care to put too much effort into this. Looks like it was the right decision. That's 40 battles. No Refills.

I noticed the cash timer is gone as well. I liked it, too. I also noticed the individual countdown in the Harem is less active. It used to count down seconds when short time. Now it just sits there and counts down full minutes. As an example, one of my girls had 17m 31s and it stayed that way for a minute, even if I clicked off of it and back on to resee the time. Eventually it went from 17m 31s to 16m 31s. So, yeah, that's a thing.

Sometimes, people don't think about what they're doing when they do stuff. They think it's a good idea and, well, it's not. Like, one year at one my jobs, instead of handing out xmass bonuses they decided to give us the gift of a big discount on all purchases in the store. Except you couldn't add it to your employee discount. And it was only usable one day. And they didn't announce it till the day before. And it was offered late into the month of December. Yet, despite all of that, they actually thought they were doing something good for us. They really believed it was a good idea. And, also, I did say 'perhaps'. Possibly? Maybe? Could be? You never know? lol. Know one knows what goes on inside their brains.

It could be that because it's still in Beta that they're dropping in the big events to see how they'll work with a starting game as HH was already well established when those larger events (PoA, LD) came into being. This is in contrast to how it was when I started where the events were girls at different bosses and you won your girl either All or Nothing. (And that is how Gork became girl number 6 in my harem while doing the in-story tutorial). So it was kind of simple and easy, so to speak. Or As I kind of recall, they did note that this was a Beta but when it was finalized all of our achievements would carry over to the full game so, perhaps, the big events early on are a kind of reward/thank you for our work at play-testing it out, finding any final bugs, feedback on the art, etc. Or A combo of the two above.

The Art... Oh, where shall I begin? Well, on the plus side I'm glad to see some variations in poses. I like a little action-activity instead of them all just standing still. Sometimes it's good, especially when it fits the character, but other times you just need variation and this collection has some of that. Noemy There's something off about her. It's that thing were you can't quite tell what it is, like Beware the Dog, but it's there. Part of I think is her left arm, how it looks like it's pressed to her body. The other thing is her right eye. I guess she's looking to her left? but it just looks bad, wrong, deformed. Nuwa She looks ok from her first pose. Just extremely long legs. Shina Again, something is off in the posture. I think it's her right leg looks more twisted than it should. Kanna Mostly ok. Very long legs again. Her breast wraps dont' really work, unless they're really silicon filled. But, more so when you wrap your breasts like that you don't end up with clevage and the wrappings don't go down to your sturnum. This is an example of the character drawn nude then having clothing added on. Agnela I think her posture is good? Nothing about her is scratching at the back of my head. Legs. Lots and lots of legs. Koemi Again, looks ok I think. Skytte Kind of a new facr for her? Nice posture change. Thighs-knees-calves look rather disproportional. Albane Standard flat pose. Arms behind breasts but the shoulders look like she's actually keeping them back, like good posture should. Long legs. Look better than Skytte Ritta Hmmmmmmmmm... hard to tell if the shoulders/arms are proportional. The dress makes it hard for me to track but still getting that slight inkling of something's not aligned right. Lips look a bit strange, but that could just be expression. Yari Breast Wraps done right. Rest looks ok. Olive Um, what is she wearing? It looks like business-suit-molded-breast-plate with the embosses nipples on them. She's wearing at least 2 layers of clothing and her nipples are supposedly poking through both her blouse and her jacket/outter top? Are they registered as dangerous/sharp weapons? I hope so. This is an occuring issue I see with a lot of the lesser art. The draw them nude then paint on clothing. Some tops would give the nipple impression (assuming hard nipples) but a lot of them that show the nipples just looks bad. Estrella Not much to say. Interesting first pose. She looks ok from what I can tell. Nothing too far off. Demi Long legs but seem to fit her. Nipples through shirt but,then, it looks like a thin shirt so, yeah. Still, some coloration issues gives the impression of that clothes-added-last look. Dixie Posture and pose looks ok. Big legs. At least her left one. Could be a proportion/distance kind of look. Her thigh still looks rather big. So, lots of time I mention leg length. Long legs look good but when I look at a lot of pictures of a lot of long leg art, certain things stand out to me. Primarily, it's the proportion of the leg to the body. Or, in many cases, one part of the leg to the body. In a lot of these long leg pics, from hip to knee is about the same length as hip to shoulder. Just things are usually a bit shorter. Like Nuwa's legs, her hip-knee goes beyond her shoulder in one of her legs. In the end it looks very stork or crane proportions to my eyes. Really long legs with short bodies.

I've got 8h5m left and I'm starting to chip away at tier 42 with 9050. Somehow I don't think I'm going to reach tier 45, where is I would like to have gotten to. 15m could do wonders for me. lol I'm sure I'll 42. Maybe. Hopefully. Fingers Crossed. But that's about the range of my reach this time. I really had to dive into being boosted for most of this. Very unlike HH. It may be a level/Experience thing, probably. Everyone is trying to get up and up so they're soaring high on Potions and Slow-Mo Force, mainlining Juices, and poppin' pills.

I'm late into this thread but I'm going to keep my opinion simple. Faces are the most important. You can have the best, most appropriate body but if the face looks like a member of the Howling Commandos then it's going to cause a lot of turn off. Unless, of course, you're into that sort of thing. So far, the initial offered improvements look nice but it'll be the faces that I'm going to be looking at, both in girl poses and in the story line art.

And it is at tier XIX where my progress ends. This should've been handled better based on the starting levels and available resources.

Well, I did it. I shelled out the 7.2k to get all four of 'em. They look like they're worth it. Currently slogging on tier XV. I would've had that completed but I reached it just around bed time so could only do a few. Then did another when I woke up during the night. If I refresh then I'll be able to do the last 6 before work. That'll let me fire off all my PvP for XVI. That's assuming it doesn't lag out like it did on the last PvP tier I got to just before work. Some 13 hours later (I think)... I managed to get through Tier XV before rushing out to work, along with getting the first salvos off on Tier XVI. Returning home, I finished off XVI and plunged into XVII by raising affection on my legendaries. Then it was Villain time. I accidentally used up 10 extra combat earlier but had enough bonus spread through the event and seasons to do my 120 battles. Then it was drop some easy cash for Donation contest (a complete opposite to my Comic struggle) and XIX was done. Now I'm just letting the Tower and Seasons build up to complete my final tier.

I'm in the same boat. I managed to get to the 5mil reward on seasons and spend that and now I'm on 100 villains. With gold bars I could probably get that 100 done before the event ends. But the next is XIX and there's no way I can get that much money without spending real money. I had only 1.3 when that tier came up. So I slogged through seasons to reach the 5million gift. I kept losing a lot during that so it took extra long. It was like win 1, win 1, lose 1, lose 1... wait for refill. win 1, lose 1, win 1, win 1. I was looking at the values of my sellbacks but the value was too low. On the up side, when I did do a lot of the multi spins I ended up with a lot of books and affectations. lol. So I didn't turn to rely on that. And it would take a ton of purples to make that 3.5 million I would need as they only resold for about 22k. I agree on that. Seasons were tough, too, it felt like as I mentioned earlier. But the donate contest as the last contest is just the killer.
