Holding up? By my fingernails, it seems! Yeah, this is the strategy part for me with my 6 accounts playing PoA, which is why I go for The Leagues (and save boosters too). It got really hard in the end and I had to spend kobans to buy token recharges. Re. The Champions, it was perfect that I'm the champion loser (most times anyway), but then I did have to be careful. In Firefox it's easy for me to switch accounts. I often have one account on the boil waiting one task to come ready while I carry out a task in another.to lose cos I've so far only got to the fourth champion in each account. That makes it even harder to complete this stage in time if I was unlucky enough to lose.The Champions stages determined what account finished and what didn't and it was this account and Herbie Hynde that came out Triumphant. Hair-pulling, yes, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I agree I should be doing both - The Leagues and Arena. I use the arena to finish off each round while I'm waiting for the Leagues token tally to recharge, using boosters to be more certain of winning in time. In the end I added Petal to my tally. I'm glad I did cos she's particularly lovely - the better version of her, imo. I lament not getting Clarysse though. Gorgeous girl!

Congrats! I had exactly the same success. Fabienne was on x96 in Adrian'smole and that x3 MP orb delivered a certainty for me. I'd almost given up hope of ever getting her. I had more conventional success in another account getting Yuna Lola with a free orb (which seem to be coming alot more frequently than every two days).

Great lineup of new and past girls. I'm personally rapt to see my pet squeeze, the sexy vampire Arabella, in there. I managed to get this new version of Derri. She's not quite the same, but she's near enough to satisfy me. Still, none of them will come close to Lopussy in her third pose. She literally causes my heart to race. I know this is probably the wrong place to mention this, but I managed to get Lima with my x10 orb. She's actually rather lovely in an unusual way, great third(?) pose: nice placement of leaves over her pussy and nipples, but the lime-green diaphinous leggings are a standout. As with Lopussy, her attire enhances the cuteness of her little body. Really good anniversary, guys. Congrats!

That was only the third-to-last quest in Digisekai. The reward girl mostly only appears on near completion of the second-to-last quest. So she should appear on the up-coming quest. I personally can't wait. Many mysteries with this adventure should be resolved on getting her. I can't comment further as I'll commit the hanging offence of creating a spoiler, but what I can say is that it will be a very unusual situation for HH. Of all the world adventures, this is the one I enjoyed the most. Lots of twists and turns. The script writer could turn it into a creditable novel!

Fantastic event for me. Not only did I get a great selection of useful items but I got both girls I had a chance of getting. I was naively hoping that the bonus reward that unlocks Zeina and Clarysse would be granted on completing the event, but no ... of course. Considering I thought I didn't have a dog's show of getting Petal, I was doubly pleased. It was a great strategy game, but there was a huge element of luck in my success. For instance, managing to impress the Champions only a few times and having enough chances to impress the others and eventually gaining all 60 points. The contests were well timed: I had enough low value gifts to sell to get rid of the 500 I needed, plus I had enough kobans to refill my tokens to complete 77 of the 80 Leagues challenges in time. I was able to gain the final 3 by going into the arena and winning all three (with the help of boosters). I can now say for sure from my own perspective that Petal is by far the best of the two girls I was able to get - wonderfully drawn with great muscle tone captured, sexy face and boobs and faithful to the character of her original version. I didn't get my fav, Clarysse, as I didn't have enough kobans (wasn't able to buy any, nor did I get placed high enough in the Leagues to splurge out). However, I'm left currently in first place in The Leagues and intend to keep it going to the next season at least. Other highlights for me in this account: the addition of Valicta, Polana and, most significantly, Tanned Cunegonde from one of two free turns in Mythic Pachinko. Also from this event I have 19 single orbs saved up in EP and a 10 spin orb, none of which I have used yet - something to look forward to. Now onto Herbie Hynde, my other account where I should get Petal with 45 of the 80 League challenges completed. Good luck everyone and congrats to all those who had successes. Overall, with the free daily rewards, all the other anniversary events (except the first) and this rather generously timed PoA I can now say the Anniversary was a great one so thank you, Kinkoid, and apologies for my cynical early posts. I had forgotten the Anniversary was a month-long series of events.

I've chosen the Leagues approach to PvP because I'm more certain of winning and gaining XP (certainly useful in the 'spend energy' part of the PoA). It's a balancing act as to whether to wait half an hour for another three chances to play the Arena (and with a good chance of losing in my case) or do rounds of 15 in The Leagues with refills when it comes to the 45 performances required. The advantage for me of playing The Leagues is that I'm an occasional player anyway and I was booted down the rankings to join all the other also-rans. This has meant for me that there have been a lot of low hanging fruit and chances of easy wins before the event ends. Because I gained a lot of XP from league battles I was able to time the claiming of energy rewards with a leveling up of XP. Just something to think about in this game of strategy. Overall, not a bad event for me and a lot of fun. Having got Piper, though, I could assess her. NOT my favourite by any means and not all that well drawn. A good version of Petal, though, on first impressions, even though I'm unlikely to win her. Clarysse is really good too, but no chance of getting her. I haven't made a lot of advances on the competitive PoA with girls, but lots of handy items this time, especially orbs that'll come in handy. I've also accumulated a lot of cash from selling items from Champions wins (that were achieved by mistake). Hey, did any of you get a popup featuring 3 pairs of girls? I did but dismissed it thinking it was a hoax. I'm wondering if I made a huge mistake and whether I should cry into my coffee! I'd be keen to be put out of my misery by kind and helpful members.

I don't have much experience with PoA, but learned a little bit from the last one. I've had to pace myself an restrict my impulse to move on as I normally do, such as not going into defeat villains option until this feature comes up in the PoA. Seems obvious, but if I see 36 combativity points sitting there I have a strong impulse to go forth, especially with Valicta sitting on x92 shards in this account. I may have to try tier I performances against Jackson's Crew to gain enough low value books to sell without having to wait for restocking. What's been hard has been trying my best to lose in The Champions so I only have to wait 14 minutes for the next play instead of 24 hours. After the next 12 hours I'll have all four of the unlocked champions to compete against and therefore more chance of getting this phase of the PoA out of the way. What I like about this event compared with the last PoA is that the rewards match the upcoming respective phases of the event. Good on those able to save their rewards without claiming them. I don't have this luxury and, with insufficient kobans to spare (as always!!), I have to carefully plan my strategy. One of the biggies for me to overcome has been when to spend energy with only one point added for every 7 minutes elapsed. The other issue is that I may complete the current quest before I can accumulate 250 energy points, with nothing to spend them on. Oh well, one can only do one's best. I expect to get Piper, but I'd be hard-pressed to get Petal. As for those who are locked, I assume they are unavailable to me if I have to spend 7,200 kobans to get them. Never mind, I'll be somewhat further ahead than last time. Progress is progress. Best of luck everybody. These girls are hot! and I particularly like Clarysse. She's well drawn and shapely, and I love what she's wearing. She's not everyone's favourite, it seems, but she's certainly mine on first impressions.

That's when I started trying for her (63 shards in one account and 67 in another). In the past, too often than I'd care to remember I've been stalled in the high 90s, but thankfully not this time. I had a bit of luck towards the end in both accounts (including this one) and managed to snare her. I didn't bother trying in the other accounts because I wouldn't have got her in a month of sundays. Congrats to the artist who drew Lopussy - inspiring effort and the loveliest legs in the business! Fantastic and sexy attire too.

It didn't turn out to be as bad as I expected when all is added up. In this account, I had 2400 kobans and Lopussy on 67 shards before the end. I depleted my koban count down to 841 at the start of this Orgy Days phase of the Anniversary, but I got her. I also managed to get her in Peregrine Took with a similar koban count and 61 shards. This is added to luck in EP with an orb to recruit Kootra. I wasn't lucky in Herbie Hynde, but had good fortune in Lili with orbs, recruiting Aphrodite and Valicta to go with Jenna HottyTEEN69 which I gained from Mythic Pachinko (I wrongly said in that thread that I got her in Herbie Hynde). I hope you had a successful event. I discovered it was foreplay which explains the terrible drop rate. At least the shard drops for Lopussy improved for me before the end, otherwise I'd never have got her. I'm glad I broke my rule in trying for her in three accounts. She looks wonderful - one of my best girls, since I fully upgraded her affection to allow me to judge. For me her third pose is best.

In my Herbie Hynde account I managed to get Jenna HottyTEEN69 in MP, so I expect another long drought before I get another one.

This is the sort of stuff we see on twitter and it doesn't really belong on this forum. George may have endorsed what you said, but I don't go along with much of what he posts either. To say neither of you suffer fools gladly is somewhat of a euphemism.

That's similar to one of my other accounts, but Valicta has caught up and has now overtaken Lopussy. I may have to simply accept that Lopussy doesn't find me remotely attractive and I have to settle for a dead girl, albeit a gorgeous one. Overall, though, I think the drop rate for some of us has been absolutely terrible.

Good on you! I'm trying to build up my koban count so I'm doing no refills. As a five day event, I expected to get at least one girl, but unlikely, except, as you say, by striking it lucky.

What a truly fucked up anniversary this is - for me anyway!! I got Valicta, but only after an orb drop in Lili where I was trying for Belinda. Congrats to all those who did a lot better than I've managed. I'm after Lopussy, but, unless I get this sort of luck, she will be on my shelf of unrequited love haremettes gathering dust - and not even the top shelf.

I was trying to tell from their pelvises and how they were tilted which were the males and which were the females. From what I could work out they were all males, so it was a gay performance. Very appropriate all the same. Thank you for posting it.

I feel for you. I had 3 rounds (60 performances) without a drop, except Valichta. It's my party and I'll cry ifI I want to! Kinkoid, et al. are having a great Gallic laugh at our collective expense. This is actually worse than my half-hearted efforts to get Sponsor Sara Jay because the shard collection was better for her over the same number of days and she was 5 star legendary - meant to be playing hard to get. I was so keen to get Lopussy and fully expected to get her over 5 days, but this is now unlikely. She's at 53 shards in this account with just over a day to go. Valichta (started a round later) is on 60 shards in this account and I haven't even been trying for her. This is a hint to those who were specifically trying for her against whatever villain she was placed against.

As a little bit of consolation, I managed to recruit this lovely in my Lili account with one free orb available... I'm bumming out thrying to rescue Belinda from Edwarda, but I'm happy now. And with Valichta on 53 shards and Lopussy on 32 in my Herbie Hynde account I'm on the way to prising Valichta from Donatien before Lopussy (if I ever get her). What a crazy 'anniversary'.

Hey, welcome to Kinkoid's kingdom! If you ARE willing to stick around for a while, the Digisekai story is like a great visual novel with amazing twists and turns. I've stuck it out for this alone, not to mention the surprisingly sexy sex scenes. I'm NOT going to spoil it for you, but trust me it's something for you to look forward to. One thing that has bugged me about it is that the writers keep adding quests, just as I thought I was near the end. It gives new meaning to the term, 'Work in Progress'. As for the rest? Very uninspiring and yawn-inducing, in my opinion. I think I've been around the game too long.

A 100k cash bonus? Fantastic generosity. I worked out that, in my Adrian'smole account where I already have over 100m in cash, this amounts to a boost to my cash reserve of less than 0.0001%. OR, it's the equivalent of just a little under two epic bouquets of flowers. I sure could use that! C'mon Kinkoid. If you're reading this (and you probably aren't), it's time to stop insulting us. First we had 10 energy units, now 100k cash bonus. I wonder what's next... 10 combativity units? Bread and water? Given the lousy drop rate for ANY shards, I'm sure all will be gratefully received. Happy Anniversary, Baby!

Good on you, dear doctor. I wish I had your capacity for delayed gratification. But I do mean good on you. I read of your extraordinary successes. When I feel manipulated like I felt this event, naturally I push back so, no. I won't be buying kobans. It's not been all bad. I've had luck with the orbs: Micaela Smith, Revenge, Kootra, To think I was going to apply for patreon status. It was a good side-step by me in the end to avoid this sense of obligation. The uninspiring girls that have now been available for some time have cemented my decision to not go through with it.

This is an amazing anniversary party indeed. The trouble is, we, the players, weren't invited, except as joke-fodder. The way it was set up and 'promoted' reminds me of that iconic donkey you see in cartoons where the only way to get it to do what we want is to hold a very long stick dangling a carrot in front of it so it will move forward to try and eat it, never, just like Utopia, within reach. We, the players, are the donkeys and the carrot is the virtually unobtainable haremettes. The command we are expected to fulfill is to spend kobans and (best of all from Kinkoid's perspective) to have us spend real Euros to buy more. Well, guys, not me! I don't need these girls that much, even though Lopussy and Belinda are appealing at first look. And, yep, I should get Valichta by the end of the event in Herbie Hynde without specifically trying for her, adding to her presence in Peckerbird. So, this is an unexpected bonus from the event that HH could not have foreseen and the joke's on them! I've just completed performance rounds in 4 accounts trying to obtain either Lopussy or Belinda. In only one of these accounts did any shards drop. Baah, what crap!

for me it's been both: shard value between 1 & 3 and 1-2 drops per round of 20 performances. Most times I can do a round of 20 with no drops alternating with a round of shard values totalling 2-3 (very occasionally 5). For me this is unprecedented, even when compared with a Legendary Days event. As an illustration in my Herbie Hynde account, against Donatien I currently have Valichta on 38 shards and Lopussy on 22 (both starting from zero at the start of the event and Valichta one round behind since Donatien was on lvl 258 when the event started).

I'm not bothering. I don't care if I don't end up seeing the results. I'm pretty hacked off about this whole event and what I definitely ascertain to be a much lower drop rate than normal for a five day event. Others seem to share my concern. It takes me back to the horrors of the ill-fated Foreplay event.

That does it!! I've discovered it's a waste of time recharging combativity with kobans because it won't make a scrap of difference by the end. Irony of ironies, I'm forging ahead in my quest to recruit Valichta without even trying while Lopussy remains in the doldrums. This sounds like one of Kinkoid's Anniversary jokes making one of the Tier 3 boss girls a part of this event when she's easier to obtain via the normal Tier 3 performance route than the Anniversary girl placed on Donatien. Allowing Valichta to become more available in Tier 3 may be Kinkoid's kinky approach to generosity. Then I got this chick using an orb in EP. I have no idea who she is, but it'll be fun learning more. I must've missed the patch notes or news when she appeared. I'm assuming she's a permanent Pachinko girl. Whatever, she's a happy distraction from my frustration with this event.

Re the drop rate, it seems like a lot of other have been finding the same as me. The good news is that I'm now at Tier 3 for Donatien in three more accounts since this event started and with runs on the board to obtain Valichta.
