Ahh looks like they're bringing back Double Date to coincide with the concurrent LC & CbC pachinko contests tomorrow. Strap in folks, it's going to be a wild ride... 🎢

Here's a link to Tohru's post in the Announcements section. I received the 240 kobans when I logged in and now all of the OD missions are in my mission tab.

Looks like Kinkoid have fixed the problem and awarded 240 kobans to those who encountered the issue (I received mine when I logged in this morning). I now have all of the event missions from the first four days of OD in my missions tab (including the ones that I already completed on Day 1). It will take a while to get through them all, but I figure it's worth it for the extra kobans.

Was using some x10 pulls since I had a lot of stored kisses, and lucked into 10 drops in a row! Since I often curse the gods of RNG, I must also praise them when warranted. 🙇‍♂️

Week 6 in D3. I finished 17th. A little disappointed because I thought I had a shot at my first Top 15 finish. I started the week using all Ginsengs for the first several days because I was planning on a safe Top 30 to save resources, but then the Powerful Melodies event gifted me a piece of Mythic Gear boosting Attack for my class (I now have 4 pieces for my class, 3 boosting Attack and one boosting Ego). I also got a stat boost from some recent level ups, and I was consistently hanging around 6-8 in the League, so I thought maybe I had a shot at squeezing into the Top 15. I used 2 Cordyceps 1 Ginseng on Tuesday and 3 Cordyceps on Wednesday, but came up just short. Maybe if I had used Cordyceps earlier in the week it would have been enough. Now I need to decide if I want to legit try for Top 15 again this week, or go back to my old plan of coasting until I unlock level 750. 🤔 Here's a screenshot from about 4 hours before reset:

I like this idea, Omer. If they're not going to get rid of the market restock task, at least allowing the natural re-stocking of the market to count would make it more in line with some of the other tasks where you can either pay kobans up front to complete right away or else wait a while to clear them for free. My final thoughts on the event: it ended up being OK, but could be much better with some of the small tweaks others have suggested, such as giving players a certain amount of free rerolls, decreasing the cost of the paid path, and axing the tasks that are impossible to complete without waiting a day (such as the "complete daily goal" tasks). I ended up getting to 1000 potions around the middle of Day 4, and only spent kobans to skip a task once. Since the path is pretty short and it only takes 500 potions to complete the girl, it seems like most players should be able to at least get the girl without spending kobans. It does require you to save up resources and withhold cashing rewards, but I actually kind of enjoyed figuring out the strategy of that part of it, especially since it was only for 4 days. I can see how that would annoy a certain type of player though. My biggest complaint would be the value of the non-girl rewards, especially compared to Boss Bang where you get 45,000 affection in addition to the girl. The AM booster and Mythic Gear are nice, but 100 of all gems doesn't seem like much for completing the event; maybe throw in some Mythic Affection items like BB?

Don't worry, it's just another case of Kinkoid's language being unclear. While those boxes now start out as checked, you can still uncheck them before submitting. I just went to the card page and confirmed.

My OD missions are missing too. I've tried both Firefox and Chrome on desktop but no difference. I submitted a ticket as well - will let you know if I hear anything.

Made up for Day 1 with an easy Top 4 on Day 2. I think I just lucked out with my bracket. 15th was 92k.

Wildest CbC Day 1 I can remember. Maybe the 12 hour MP rotations had something to do with it too. I realized pretty early that my usual Top 15 would require many more orbs than usual so I settled for a safe Top 30 (especially since I used up most of my MP1 orbs recently. Shoutout to @Boulie2 who is in my current League and was in my contest bracket; I don't know if he checks the forum anymore though.

I was able to get 93 shards of Fighter Gemini from natural regen + Pantheon, PoV and Seasons, then it only took 3 refills to get the remaining shards. So, pretty close to a "free" LD girl!

The best part of this event is that it only lasts for 4 days, and then we can forget it exists for two months. 👋 I'll do the tasks I normally do and see if I can get close to getting the girl, but I'm not going to put any extra effort into it unless they change the fact that you can be assigned tasks that are impossible to complete until the next day (ie open a daily rewards chest that you've already opened).

Lucky for me, Fighter Gemini is on Finalmecia where I'm farming gems for Lovebot Norou anyway. I like her a lot - her outfit combines my two favorite colors (purple and maroon/burgundy). I'll see how many shards I get from natural regen and pantheon, and then decide whether to finish her off or leave her for a future SC. Vespa is cute, but another Playful L5 is the last thing I need right now, so I'll pass. The good news is it looks like they are now reviving the more recent LD girls in order, which will make it easier to plan ahead and save kobans for the ones I most want (Lapis, Stacy, Felicia, Hilda).

Week 5 in D3. I was going to use this week as my test to see if I could get a smooth Top 30 using only Ginsengs, but then I had a chance to beat Pantheon 1500 on Monday so I used 3 Cordyceps that day. Every other day was 3 Ginsengs though. I ended up at 22nd, so I'm pretty confident my all Ginseng gamble will work (and my reserve of Cordyceps continues to grow-almost at 300!). Forgot to take a screenshot this time, but I didn't notice any forum regulars in my League. This week the only person I recognize is @Boulie2. Hi Boulie! 👋

My best overall CbC in a while. I really need the extra GXP too for my final push to unlock 750.

Oh man, Valentina finally appears and of course I have all 3 girls available and I just spent almost all my MPx1 orbs fruitlessly chasing Submissive Beauty a few days ago. Oh well, this is why I've been hoarding MPx3 and MPx6 orbs; all those wins on Day 4 of LC are paying off...

I got caught up in trying to get Submissive Beauty from MP and ended up spending about 200 orbs... without getting the girl 😭. Oh well at least I got Top 4 in CbC.

With 7 blessed Mythics, this seemed like my best opportunity to beat wall 1500 so I decided to go all out. I forgot to screenshot my unboosted team, but it was 0% without the impossible marker for the first time in a long time. After adding 3 cordyceps things got a little more interesting. This is 3 cordys with all Mythic Equipment: But switching out one of my Mythic equipment that doesn't match my class with a mono, it increased my chances: 2 mono was around 0.40%, so still better than all Mythic but not as good as one mono. When I added a headband, however, things changed a bit. Here it is with one mono: And here it is with all Mythic: So, interestingly, the attack boost from mono is still valuable when you have a really small chance, but once your attack is above your opponent's the additional defense and harmony of Mythic gear become more valuable. Ended up beating it on the second try, and now the elusive Capricorn has joined my harem (which is good timing because I'm completely out of submissive L5s to level)!

Ultimately the game is about having fun, so I think it's fine to ignore a few girls because you don't like them. If there's a girl who's one of my strongest for that week but I don't like any of her poses, I usually just stash her at the end of my team so I don't have to see her as often.

Got my 16th Mythic, and 2nd Green/Exhibitionist🟢 (after Druiada Titania). Total of 699 fights, 189 coming from natural regen. Used 5 SP as usual. I have plenty of kobans left over for Lovebot Norou's revival later this month. After that I will have at least 2 of every element but Playful. I didn't keep track of how many black gems I got but it seemed like a lot. I now have over 11.5k total which will come in handy in a few weeks when I finally break through level 700 and will be able to immediately awaken all 3 of my Domi Mythics plus some of my L5s.

I must admit I am happy she is Green/Exhibitionist. I used most of my blue gems on Lanäelle and am now saving for Norou, so I'm ok with waiting a while for the next Sensual MD girl. Exhibitionist and Playful are the only other elements where I only have one Mythic, and I'm in no rush for a second Playful girl. I really like all her poses, which is usually not the case with Mythics (or any girl for that matter). I'm guessing that she must be really popular, since she was the 4th/$$$ locked girl in CE just a month ago and now a Mythic. Maybe there's a lot of people like me who can't contain their primal lust for voluptuous black-haired/pale-skinned/red-lipped incarnations of seasons. ❄️

Good point, an extra 10,920 Affection isn't a bad consolation prize for losing out on 40,000 GXP and 240 gems. ☺️ Edit: Just realized I would have gotten 50 flowers anyway. But 34 extra flowers (4,420 Affection) is still a nice bonus that I wouldn't have gotten if I had done better on Day 1.

Week 4 in D3. I landed at 17th, even though I used less Cordy's than last week (when I finished 19th). I went with 2 Ginseng 1 Cordyceps for the whole week (I had been going 3 Cordyceps on Mondays and Wednesdays for the previous 3 weeks). No refills, so a koban income of 2,166. Here is a screenshot about 4 hours before reset: This week I might experiment with all Ginseng and no Cordyceps, and see if I can still land a safe Top 30 without refills. That would allow me to continue stockpiling Cordy's until I unlock 750 and have a real shot at consistent Top 15s. Player Level: 454 Total Girls: 602 Maxed Girls: 80 at Level 700 (including 14 Mythics and 45 L5s) I mostly used my Orange/Physical team on offense since so many opponents left Yellow/Playful teams up. Here is my unboosted team:

I messed up on Day 1 and missed out an easy Top 15 (only required 75,000 points) because I forgot to go back and use some more orbs before I went to bed. 😭 I made up for it on Day 3 though by getting a Top 4 though, so I'm happy with this week. 😄

This PoA was kind of a test run for me. Usually I stop at Tier 21 because the tedium of 100 champions fights added to the cost of 200 fists doesn't seem worth it for just 6 EPx1 orbs, since I don't usually unlock the bonus path. But because I had over 100 kisses stored since I finished Seasons so early this month due to SE, I decided to see how far I could make it in PoA without buying any refills. Having all those stored kisses really helped. I breezed through most of the tasks and was thus able to spend most of my time parked at the Fight Villains tasks to take advantage of natural regen. I got to Tier 25 at the end of Day 4, so 2 1/2 days of natural regen took a big chunk out of those 200 Villain Fights. I won't go any farther this time, but at least I know it is possible if I ever do decide to unlock the bonus path (and the fists gained from that path would help get to 200). Maybe in a couple months once I'm caught up on Mythic Revivals and PoG girls I might give it a shot, since that Draft orb would definitely come in handy for when I'm close to emptying the EP pool. But at this point I have other things to save my kobans for.
