Zorba the Geek

Yay, another person who likes Kalissa. Lovely perky little breasts, toned lean body and a kick-arse personality with hints of the Gothic (eye makeup and hair style). She would be a great one to have seen in Dark Fantasies or Halloween events. I agree with you about Agate too. Same kick-arse and even better boobs. Not so sure about Noemy, but the reverse seduction scenes in Reward are priceless and very sexy. Most girls I've known actually DO behave in this way (the ancient story... "He chases her until she catches him"). It's their way of separating the wheat from the chaff - those guys they might actually want to marry and have endless baby-producing sex with. You might get the impression I'm not a big tit guy. You'd be right. I'm not into suffocation, but for Salem I'd make an exception. There's something about her that suits her massive boobs. But she doesn't count as she's on Finalmecia's battle team.

Yes, Bunny is good value and she doesn't cost a king's ransom to upgrade her affection levels. However, if you up Princess Agate's affection level to all five stars, you will find out she pays more. Furthermore, if your specialty is Know-how, her battle stats make her a must-have alpha girl in your team. If your specialty is charm, then your must-have girl is Abraël. She and Ankyo pay out well too, but, if you've advanced through the game and have quite a number of girls already, Abraël is horrendously expensive to upgrade to her final two affection stars. If you're a charmer, I suggest you focus on upgrading her to all five stars as soon as you can while the cost of her upgrade is not beyond reach. This may mean forgoing upgrading other girls in the meantime, not advancing through some games that cost a lot to proceed and withholding upgrading XP, even if this means losing a few battles and getting nowhere in some of the contests. I had to do this to upgrade Agate and, to remind me, I used one of those 3M stick-on notes on the computer screen to keep me focused.

I agree entirely and that's what I said. However, other players seem to be becoming impatient. Those mysterious spheres that dropped (two more recently) suggest that there are at least two ding-dong battles with Finalmecia ahead. It's been interesting so far, if dragging out a little in the Trapped City sequence where Finalmecia was captured by the invoked dragon(?). The Rivalry quest dragged out a lot and the developers fell for the trap of thinking all we really want is endless sex with Bunny. We had her from the very start and we know by now what she's like! I think the trapped city invocation sequence was on purpose in true soap opera tradition. But whatever it was, the girls looking skyward at the whole supposedly sordid scene playing out showed maximum dry-wretching disgust. It was very funny. At the very end we are left hanging - something dire is about to happen.

I'm impressed with the new display here. For those of us less esoterically hooked on porn, it gives a little lesson in the Karmasutra. Overall, it's a great improvement. I was quite keen to see how girl drops happen and I was finally able to find out when I got Snowboard Hari. She came down (in her usual receding silhouette) to nestle nicely between the two alpha girls in the opposing teams.

Yeah, now it's 41, soon to be 42 when I get Robin), but remember I've been going since the Northern Hemisphere Summer (my Winter) of last year so persistence pays off. In my oldest games, because I'd cleaned Finalmecia out of her battle team, I went back to tease Bremen again (so far without success to get Marina whom I really want). I've managed to get both event drop girls from the Dark Lord and Grunt (still trying to get Snowboard Hari in my oldest game). They make for a great display in my beach profile, even though they're meant to be parading in the snow! If you've managed to get both the Winter Chill event girls (Hari and Bunny's Mother) to drop and you've upgraded their affection stars, you will notice some rather clever humour where Hari gets some lovely revenge on her milf mother. I'll say no more because I don't want to spoil the surprise, but the artwork is really well done and the expressions on Hari's face are priceless.

In some cases it's called luck. For instance, some equipment that offer critical damage percentages are described as 'lucky such-and-such...' Indeed, the old perv's explanation of the store setup has a four leaf clover icon to indicate luck. I think critical damage replaced this. A higher percentage in your critical damage display means the greater the chance of inflicting severe damage to your opponent's ego (even wiping it out completely in one fell swoop). Similarly if an opponent has significantly higher critical damage than you, you have a real chance of being beaten. I think it's maxed out at 25%. It is a useful thing to have in your equipment, to me more valuable than endurance (the blue heart icon). In my case, I try to increase my attack power by selecting girls with the best attack stats to match my own specialty, followed by matching high value equipment. If you can blast them early on you don't need endurance. I still haven't quite worked out how defense against opposing specialties works, but it seems to limit the degree to which opponents are able to inflict damage. In any case critical damage overrides this and offers its own attack power. Early on in your game, it can be handy to use the boosters offered. These are often dropped as rewards when you win arena battles against other players.

I think you're right and quite philosophical about it. Some games (that shall remain nameless with me too) require regular small (but ultimately significant) sums of money to gain not-so-valuable rewards to advance in the game. The enticements are called 'loot boxes' and have hooked many people into serious gambling addiction problems. They play on our reward loopback endorphin pleasure system in the brain. For me HH has one element that does just that (but I am fully aware of my vulnerability in this area). When a random or mission event girl drop occurs it is preceded by a full-screen silhouette outline of the girl that has dropped; she moves across the screen to the middle shrinking in size (surrounded by an exploding star display) until she merges with the detailed image of the girl who has dropped. Only then is the girl identified. I managed to capture this happening early on to show members what I mean. I don't believe this is a spoiler for those moderators of our messages. For me, early-on not knowing followed by that sense of anticipation is powerful and more exciting than any other aspect of the game, but this is just my thing maybe. I'd be interested to know of others who feel the same way. This is very clever animated PNG(?) file manipulation to achieve this. Yes, I know... small things amuse... And I need to get out more!

Yeah that's right. While I was waiting for the next quest in Plain of Rituals to start, I went back to tease Bremen into giving up girls I hadn't won from him, so far not a bite and no success - immensely frustrating as I've been trying to win Marina ever since I started Bremen Town. I think it'll be closer to 13 January for a new Plain of Rituals quest as the New Year is nigh upon us! I just keep accumulating gifts and books so I can upgrade any girls I get either from events or chance drops. Trouble is in my two games where I've maxed out the Plain of rituals quests, I've also maxed out the affection stars of all my girls (that was some effort in the case of Abraël). To the developers, I would suggest witholding advancing the game to the next quest until at least two new quests are ready to start. This means players have a longer period in the game and might mean we no longer get ahead of ourselves while the developers work on the next quest to follow.

Yes, the only way I managed to get her was in Epic Pachinko. My specialty is know-how so she would've been a useful addition. I suspect you are know-how as well. I've gone back to battling Bremen as I have all Finalmecia's girls (thanks to the slow progress in advancing the game to the next quest). However, it is down to luck. One person reported getting Marina. You and I are just unlucky I guess.

In the Gay Harem, maybe Indiana Jones, Jeanne's tutor/lecturer... Ahem! No seriously, Jeanne would be a great win if you are hardcore because her hardcore battle stats are great (they were great in her Sporty Jeanne incarnation too)! What you wrote does back up my theory. My first drop in The Juy Sea was... you guessed it... Eugénie, glutton for sex and food - yes, I agree. I wonder how she uses the drumsticks after she's chomped on them. Next drop was Jeanne, then Bonny. That was in my game in which my speciality is know-how. For me in that game, The Juy Sea was the world with the poorest returns and by far the most expensive game in which to advance, mostly to satisfy Eugénie's insatiable tastes. Furthermore, there are no know-how girls to collect, which is a bummer for those of us who are not hardcore or charmers. In one hardcore game where I had reached The Juy Sea (now unusable because my email was hacked and I can no longer remember the password to it), the only girl who dropped was Eugénie, but after a couple of months trying and going back to battling in that world, I managed to get Bonny (I didn't get Jeanne until I won her in Epic Pachinko). So I eventually won both Hardcore girls. Of course, what I have just written might be complete nonsense and I've merely been plagued with a constant stream of bad luck. In none of my four accounts is my specialty charm so it was immensely annoying to win Charmer Stephanie (who pays poorly) first up from Bremen for both my know-how games. And, you know, with all the constant grind for me to get Zoe to drop from Finalmecia, who drops first in both games? Charmer Salem!! I'm not complaining that much cos she's so beautiful (especially her face, attire and subtle mysterious expressions), albeit she has huge boobs that seem out of proportion. Instead of such a motherly ('Doni') look, maybe a sexy C or D cup might suit her more and make me want to be truly seduced by her magic. Oh yes, I need to get out more instead of playing this damn game!!

I think it's entirely random (or should I say, machine pseudo-random). My only gripe is that, in Worlds 8 and 9, I can never get a girl that matches my specialty to drop. Fighting Bremen, I could never get Marina in my know-how games, or Cunegonde to drop in my hardcore games (I had to get them in Epic Pachinko). Fighting Finalmecia, I could never seem to get Zoe to drop in my know-how games or Edna to drop in my hardcore games. However, there does seem to be an order of drop. In all four of my accounts at the time which were all at the last two worlds (until my email in one game was hacked and I had to change my email address) I was hardcore for two and know-how for two and in Worlds 8 and 9 the ones that dropped first in all four games were Stephanie and Salem respectively. Since their specialty is charm, they aren't of much use to me as I lack charm in all four games! I wonder if the girls that drop first are the ones that least match one's specialty, at least in the later worlds where girl drops are much rarer anyway.

Yes, I did the same as I wasn't keen on any of the Chistmas Revival girls I couldn't win from Dark Lord and Gruntt. I won Winter Agate and Christmas Bunny quite easily from the two baddies in all my accounts. However (apart from Gossy whom I won in a single play) all other girls were normal boss drop girls I won in the 10 play option. I deliberately avoided the Christmas Revival because I wanted to increase my chances of winning Pachinko exclusives - my current obsession is to win Lupa. She seems a great complement to Bunny and really cute, but wolves prey on bunnies! The redheaded elvish creature is also very cute - Vashalanor I believe she's called.

Yeah the display of my girls at the beach is quite good. It is possible to organise one's display of the girls to tell quite a story, or even fighting one another! In my oldest account I now have 40 girls to choose from, but, boasting aside, getting Cunegonde and Marina to drop from Bremen is still an exercise in futility. I'd love to have Marina at the beach, as that name implies she's a girl of the sea. The only way I could get her and Cunegonde was in Epic Pachinko.

I'm wondering if it was a glitch for the holiday period, but I was unable to access the forum for several days. I wanted help with an issue. The message that came up was that I had to complete my registration with the only field being my profile name (I was already registrered). I entered my profile name and it merely told me that this name was in use by another player and rejected my efforts to progress further. When I clicked cancel it warned me that if I proceeded my registration would be cancelled and I would no longer be able to access the forum. Incidentally, this happened once before with the same messages re. complete registration. I left it a few days and I was then able to access the forum. Can anyone explain what happened?

I've got the same problem. If anyone can help me I'd be grateful. I lost a game in which I was quite advanced because I couldn't remember the login email. That email was hacked anyway and I had to close it and start a new one, but I was unable to link that game to a new email address. Even odder, I was able to use the same profile name to the new game and HH accepted it. Very odd. So I have two games which have the same profile name, one useable and current, the other inaccessible.
