I get a "the server didn´t answer properly. Please try again. "Err HH_1 error" on the ptr since yesterday. It´s been half a day now including a night where I logged out. This pretty much affects everything I try to do and when I try to enter the activities I just get a white screen. This happens on several different browsers, including edge where I have no plugins etc whatsoever. Not sure if it´s just me or a general problem that can rarely occur due to a bug but I honestly don´t know how to fix this....

I think that´s what we get for calling the pov pretty good value compared to other stuff. And since nerfing stuff caused shitstorms in the past you just have to place the hurdle to get stuff that high that it´s impossible to reach. Marketing 101 I think even with a platinumcard you won´t get the last real reward(the orbs) If they don´t fix this I will skip it, but I seriously suspect this to be a testbaloon like that one poa before christmas to see how much the playerbase will take before it starts hurting their bottomline

Especially consindering that they changed they mind once already. They might start out with older mythics (if this event even happens), so once we´re at lenaelle again who knows how the situations will be at this point. I agree with you, but would go even further. As long as there´s no new form of datingtokens or other way to finish a girl I would not suggest to start anything this expensive if you´re not sure you can finish it. But that´s just me here^^ We´ll see I guess. But thanks for the reminder, might want to keep a bit of ressources in the backhand for the possibility of revivals hitting next month

You should plan up to 15k koban into getting her if you´re really unlucky. Mythic girls are hard to get, especially if you´re free to play. It is also helpful to use the booster sandalwood perfume but only if you can´t get any other girl´s shards on the respective villain If you don´t have the ressources I would miss out on her, especially considering that there is currently no way to get the missing shards or a revival of the event so you might spend the koban for nothing More on the general topic: I really love this character and will definitely go for her. Hope I´m lucky this time, had to spend way too much on Finalmecia^^

Overall I like this new feature. It just adds more stuff to the game, another goal. But I think twice a month is too much. Especially at the back half this seems to have the potential to be REALLY chaotic. I mean you have the legendary contest, the normal contests with varying tasks, a kinky cumpetition AND then the path of attraction with all the different tasks on top of that. All at once. I mean, I´m not the minmaxguy but even I get headaches thinking about the chaos this might cause managing all the ressources. Especially since we most likely won´t know the task the new feature holds beforehand^^° Just put it in the front half of the month once. You mostly have stuff that usually only need you to spend combativity (classic event and mythic/legendary/... days) if you go for it and one kinky cumpetition. And a few daylies that pretty much run on the side. It´s the calmer, more plannable side of the month. And the developers should always ask themselves how many girls locked behind paywalls per month are too many to discourage many people (except whales) to go for it. People might just resign at some point if it´s too much stuff every month. Just my two cents^^

Thanks, I will 🙂

I´m also on the lookout for a new club now. My player level is "just" 208 but I think that´s a good start since I only just joined the game 28th of September. I´m quite active ingame, but could understand if this just too low right now. Just looking for a long term home for my char^^ Club cooldown ist still around 18 hours since I left my old club just recently. Would be glad about some form a reply no matter the outcome, thanks in advance 😊

On the ptr this works at least. Gave a lot of girls the 2500xp-books and had to go through several gemcaps before I reached the actual level. Maybe I don´t understand the real problem here but on the ptr it´s no problem at all and I would be surprised if it would work differently on the liveserver

The xp don´t expire if you hit a gemcap. So if you use the magazine on a lvl 1, she will be instantly lvl 50 cap. If you uncap her she will be 100; if you uncap her she will be instantly 150 until the xp are used up and she reaches her real level. She already has these xp, you just can´t see it because of the cap. So it´s not wasted^^

Are the normal common girls more likely to drop 100 shards? Otherwise I feel like I won the fucking lottery. Got Queen Titania 100x right now after getting Sugu 100x on the last event a few days ago. Thought I got a bug first since I only knew about this when it came to clubchampions and was a bit dumfonded first.... On the downside, I got no eventgirlshard all day despite pumping all combativity I have out, so it seems everything comes for a price. Considering I´m usually pretty unlucky when it comes to stuff like this I expect the next 100x-drop somewhere around June 2028 XD

@Attirm Don´t forget that Places of Power now also drop xp-books, at my lvl 167 the 1k xp-ones. So you have to calculate that in if you can start several ones at a time. This will not make a huge difference but it will at least soften the bottleneck a bit, especially if you´re able to start the places 3 times a day^^

Only girls level 301 or above will be unlockable up to 350, for every other girl you have to spend gems starting 250. So you better upgrade as many girls as possible to 301, starting with mythic and 5 star legendary since they´re most expensive gemwise^^

This won´t work because at least until yesterday you needed a certain amount of girls of a specific level to level them up more, greeting me trying to level up a girl further with a message that was along the line of "you need 17 more girls at level 250 to upgrade further" So you need to upgrade at least a certain amount of girls that is larger than 7 to follow this tactic, while I still agree with you on the general term here. Level will most likely be more important than following the buffs and debuffs for a while, just wanted to clarify on this possible misconception^^

I don´t know if it´s a bug or the already mentioned change but I tried to unlock several girls from 200 to 250 on the ptr and the cost was exactly zero gems. Don´t know what this means yet but maybe there´s a graceperiod where you can unlock to a certain level. The level I unlocked to is already higher than my playerlevel. Just as an info^^ edit: the everchanging places of power (the lower ones) now also seem to give gems of other colors that are usually more constrained as a possible reward. If this is good or bad depends on personal opinion, but this way it might be easier to get some of these gems you usually only get through season pass etc

I will keep most of the gems I get at the start; changes might not mean that we get more gems but that the upgradecosts might be reduced, I´m just guessing though. Since we got several proofs over the last few weeks that they might spontaneously implement stuff that might screw people over this might be the safer route. Worst case is I have more gems to spend at once ^^ I´m just glad that I barely switched to level 201 today, I can use this to upgrade as many legendary girls (especially 5 stars) to 201 as possible to save a ton of gems. Maybe I was just too pessimistic and frustrated over the last few days and MAYBE the something of valor and the legendary queststuff is a huge source of gems and we all got angry over nothing....we´ve been heard...to some degree...somewhat...so I will just go make myself a tea now^^

What I thought about last night also adds to this, kinkoid will shoot itself in the foot majorly on top of all the problems for the players. Because from now on a big part of how valuable a girl is will be what gems you need to upgrade her. Girls that use gems that are limited like in season passes will be worth a lot less since after a short while you will have a giant backlog you want to upgrade and simply can´t do this for months and years. Yeah, I know, the rock paper scissors-system, but a lvl 250 girl will always be worth more than a lvl 50 girl you can´t upgrade. So after a while and enough girls waiting to be upgraded for every player (except extreme whales) some girls with the "wrong gemaffinity" will be like lead in the stores and events. Maybe THAT is an argument they will listen to....seriously.... edit: and common 5 star girls, that are already pretty strong will be cheaper to upgrade, making a lot of higher girls pretty worthless until late, late in the future....good job, you get the easy strong route for free....I can see a nerf of common girls incoming....

In these you can never stop whales, it´s not even intended since the main intention is to make money. I think the changes in the last few weeks made it perfectly clear that the main focus was to make more money (incleasing fomo through axing the dating tokens for example) But you need specific gems for specific girls, you can´t just farm ALL gems into oblivion, so there´s at least some restraint in this and most whales are somewhere around D3 which is already at the point a "throw enough money at the screen to win"-scenario at least from what I´ve heard. And even for most whales it would be ridiculous to max out girls every blessing just through money considering how many you need so for at least the foreseeable future you can use tactics to some degree

My thought in general would be to add those gems for additional levels. If you just use them after level 500 lower players would get nothing out of this. 5 upgrades a 50 levels. If you´re level 200 and upgrade a girl once she can reach 250, if you´re at 220 she can reach 270 etc. This would put additonal challenge that´s not too hard to understand into this for everyone, doesn´t affect low level and gives them still a chance to catch up onto a certain point. On top of that you can start playing very specific metas through this as long as gems are limited. Do I go for a broad setup based on all blessings. Or a very specific one like "black hair" to snipe pvp whenever it´s a black hair-blessing. Do I upgrade a specific girl to max or broadly apply the gems for cheaper lower levels? This would fall under easy to learn, hard to master since it wouldn´t affect casual players or lower levels that much but could give the progame an additional spin, especially considering that as long as you don´t throw ridiculous amounts of money at the monitor you can go for a very specific setup of rarer blessings to snipe stronger players in highler leagues on occasion because you simply prepared for this very specific scenario. This would at least sound like fun for me, would even out the playingfield a bit, would reduce the otherwise added strain to lower levels and would still make it able to level up the constantly added girls to a certain degree to make them at least usable in pop, pvp, champions etc... But since I´m a noob I bet I already missed a very important part in this thoughtprocess ^^

The new dailies are in, just 3 championtickets and otherwise gems, specifically red and yellow. No money, no gifts, no orbs. Is this just bad luck or planned like this? If the latter dailies as a source of these things are also out of the window....

I´m just level 94 on the ptr so I can´t see most stuff; but in the first pop they removed the 10x great orb and someone said they removed the mythic orb in pop2, so......

What interests me most right now is which rewards they will switch out in the season pass to add the gems that you can obtain there. I bet it´s the epic pachinko gems and the money.... Might be interesting to have a full overview which rewards in the different sources we actually lose through this change....

That highly depends. Some gems drop at the villains (or how are they called) for combativity; just as an example. You can fill this up for koban. And I bet there will also be bundles. So if you pick the right girls that use gems dropped at specific locations you can refill you can bruteforce your level in a short amount of time just by throwing enough money at the screen, turning this into a p****measurementcontest who can shell out more money fast....at least that´s how I see it at this point, can be wrong though.... Higher levels of course already have an advantage through stats etc but on the same levelrange, depending how long it takes to upgrade f2p, people that shell out money will have a considerable advantage over others depending on how much they spend

The last patchphase was short, 2 weeks or so max. I just remember that I was surprised how fast it went online after being on the ptr and there was no prior warning either. So I would spend the books now. I for myself will wait for the next competition requiring giving the girls xp that hits and spend everything I have. If this takes longer than 5 days I will spend it either way. And the problem here is the same as with the moneynerf in general. Once this hits it will take newer players considerably longer to level up girls, bolster their teams and win in competitions while people playing longer already have a big preexisting roster as backup....

I can only see the first pop, there they replaced the great orbs there for gems. And combativity for the daily competitions are gone for gems, too My only light on the horizon is to observe the fallout this might have on their patreon once this goes live; you have to appreciate the small things in life....

I think we haven´t even seen the best part, I could bet my ass that these gems will switch out a lot of "generous" rewards in the season pass and other events, too. I mean, this is to be expected, right? You now have 8 brandnew "awesome" items you can shell out as rewards in pretty much every contest, mission, event etc. Not one but 8 at once And you need those on top of the already existing stuff. Neat.
