  1. She seems cute, not in the order of Zazie Skymm, but passable all the same. She's a worthy sharer of the name. I'm heading for disaster with this contest. I'm about to run out of beatable opponents in The Leagues and, even though I'm in first place in all but one account so far, my best placed position is currently 5th. I'm sure my opponents won't be all that compassionate to let me stay in this position. Have I made my run too soon - like a middle distance runner starting out as if he's running a 200m race? Oh well, I'll have three more days to hopefully get some contests I might be competitive in - enough anyway to creep over the line with enough shards to impress this little mynx enough for her not to want to scorch my dick if I try to insert it in her. This is the first time I seriously engaged in this type of contest so please wish me luck. I'm mindful of the Path of Attraction coming up and I have to keep my powder at least dry(ish). I'm assuming it'll be here, because it's 19/20 July now and no sign of the Anniversary (even though there was a slight dry run of it on the test server).
  2. I can't believe it! I just posted my entry and the Forum booted me out - "Complete registration" screen popped up. Oh well, I'll try again. I concur with the annoyance by some with the 'Make a Donation' contest task. It appeared three days in a row! Fortunately I had enough money handy to meet this requirement in PoA, but my annoyance was on behalf of those newer members who would not yet have had the chance to save up enough won items from PoP to sell them for lots of cash. Anyway, thanks to the wonderful surprise I had from the test server I was granted the two paid reward girls in Round Table Knights: Elin and Queen Katana. So this gave me the opportunity to judge the relative attributes of all four girls more fairly. Elin got a relatively low score among members and, on the face of it from her opening pose, I would've agreed (uninspiring attire). However, her successive poses showed her to be very lovely with a beautiful face and eyes. Unlike other girls, she showed lots of subtle (very natural and human) expressions of lust and pleasure - a real hottie, and interesting hair colour. So she went right to the top of the list, in my opinion. The artist really scored with the girls in this event, with Elin especially. I love the PoA contests, but they cause me much angst and nail biting, yes truly! Not just with what contest I have to face (Pachinko contests are out for me), but will I, won't I manage to avoid impressing the champions so I might have to wait 24 hours before I can impress them again. In this account I managed to have a 24 hour wait for every champion before I could complete the 60 tries required to complete the task (and I was only half way through)! Luckily I had over two days left to complete it. There were alot of side benefits though: in Adrian'smole I managed to snare Any first attempt and moved on to a now unlocked Alban. In another three accounts I scored Preya, Yulita and Melody thanks to the incentive of having to defeat alot of villains during the course of the event. This is always the case for me in these events and is a reason I love them so much. I expect to gain Vanessa next time as she is within reach against Sake. A real downside for me is the huge time penalty of having to play in Seasons and the Defeat Villains option. The way they've been set up means they are very data hungry and seem to have to load an undue number of subroutines before the 'Perform" button can be pressed. The test server did, however, offer a lot of hope in both tasks. Not only was the perform option displayed with a new display but it raced along at a very satisfying speed so I was able to defeat Roko 57 times quite quickly and gain Layla into the bargain. Season performances are also rather quickly completed too, so I really look forward to the next PoA, assuming this aspect of the test server will have migrated to the main server. I look forward to performing individually rather than in batches of 10 at a cost of 12 kobans each time I do this. I hope everyone had success in this event. I had 100% success with the task-completing component of this event, but (apart from the surprise bonus from the test server) I did not get the bonus girls. It's onto the Anniversary and, if the test server preview is any indication, the prizes may be most welcome.
  3. I'll be brief, which is a shocker coming from me. For me, the winner is Nuwa, hands down, but Skytte is not far behind (it's a real shame I didn't get her because of the appalling drop rate for epic orbs from Places of Power). My real congrats to the artist who drew them. Nuwa has a certain ethereal quality - a combination of black hair and fair skin that gives her a celtic quality - like so many of the breath-taking beauties who so distracted me during my visit to Dublin. They were everywhere! Nuwa reminds me of them and is similarly very natural in a way that belies the character of Hentai Heroes. I don't agree with the person who complained about the rng (aka drop rate). I got all three rescue girls in the paltry 9 days available in one account and two of the three in my other accounts. I found the shard drop improved significantly in the last two days. One account, however, I only managed to get Shina and I guess I could share the same lack of success with the person who complained about the rng. The issue is that 9 days is simply not usually long enough to get all three without spending kobans. I managed without having to do so. It's about luck in the end.
  4. I can only make a calculated guess for this account as it seems to vary from event to event, such is the nature of the RND. For this event in this account where Stacy was the only girl I was trying for I started out with 4,800 kobans and have 1,270 left. That means I used 3,530 kobans. However, I must point out that, because of my slow browser and the fact that the 'defeat villains' portion of the game is very data-intensive, I always use the 10x play option otherwise I'd be spending all day trying to do 20 performances. I estimate I spent around 250 kobans on this alone for the course of the game. So to give a really vague and roundabout answer to your question, if you had a good browser or use your phone or tablet to play, you could do single performances and use around 3,200 kobans. Just a comment on the drop rate. I found it terrible and I could do two rounds (40 performances) without a lousy shard and most times only 1 shard per 10 performances in most other accounts In two accounts, Stacy is still only on under 20 shards each. Because I didn't have her in any account, I went for Nero in my KH accounts first and only tried for Stacy first in my HC accounts. When I got her in this account and maxed out both her affection and XP I decided I had to go for broke and get her in my KH accounts. Her stats, folks, are excellent and put her even above Lapis, who was my top dog. I can only judge the Legendary Days girls as I've had little luck in the Legendary Contests and none whatsoever in the Mythic Days events. I imagine these mythic girls would be on another level for stats. The other thing I'd say... Thank God for Dating Tokens! In this account and Peregrine Took. In Peregrine Took I have only 352 kobans left, but this accounts for the fact that I had to advance Nero from 62 shards to win her over... and put up with all her abuse! I got Stacy within range of my Dating Token collection and got her this way, otherwise I might've done another 40 performances without another shard drop. In this account, I needed to collect only 3 shards to get her with the dating tokens so my estimate of koban investment would still generally apply.
  5. Hey, I'm one who's going to give the thumbs up to the artists. I checked out the one-star version of Norou and she would have to be her best version by far. The attention to detail and anatomical accuracy and shading was exquisite. Many of the girls are similarly praiseworthy. What this has done, though, is to have me hankering (most likely in vain) for them to be upgraded to three stars. I only have three so far (Ari, Tracey and D-D) and I can't really complain. Some of the girls are truly interesting and have interesting stories to tell. It would be nice to have these rounded out a bit more, especially with the affection scenes. However, with so many girls released en masse to such an extent, I imagine six more images for each girl would be a tall order for the time-pressed artists. One thing strikes me, though... In the Wiki, there's a profile description for each girl, but no such description appears in my harem, even with each girl upgraded to max. I'm wondering if there's a step I missed to be able to read them.
  6. Fantastic girls, all four. Ariana looks sexily menacing in all her poses, showing enough charm to lure, unsuspecting, the most streetwise of potential suitors. I love that psychedelic chick, Portia, even though I'll never get her - too poor! In the test I managed to get the pirate girl, Captain Calypso - pretty hot as well - pretty. Both the available girls are Know-how, which was interesting. It'll be touch and go whether I get her in my main accounts because I'm too low in kobans to make a tangible effort, especially since I'm nearly out of kisses to go to Seasons to polish off those last needed points. I have to comment on the artwork in general. I've noticed a steady improvement. Sure, there are fails, but even these might be more a matter of taste and other members may not share my distaste. I respect the fact that the artists are attempting to create a very human-scale diversity among the haremverse's female population and girls come in all shapes and sizes and facial expressions. The artists have been faithful to this and have avoided the temptation to fall into the trap of creating clones of one particular style. A good recent example is Lila - a sexy, voluptuous girl with a very beautiful face and sexy makeup. And boy oh boy a pair of buns to snuggle into while fondling her boobs. I'm glad I went for broke to get her in Kinky Contest. The girls in this event are slimmer and leggier, but viva la difference. I just love them!
  7. I dunno, I think it did happen. The orb drop alternative between cash and orbs seems to have been reduced by three times as at the time of this posting. For example, in accounts where I've had three 'It's Just Natural' play options in play, where once I had one chance in three to get three orbs, now I get around one chance in nine. That's a big drop. Over all my accounts, I can now do three or four rounds in PoP without a single 3-epic orb drop. I used to get at least one in every round in at least one account. Me? I expected it because I found it generous. The relatively good drop rate for getting girls in Epic Pachinko meant that the previously good chances of getting EP orbs gave me a lot of girls. This started to become routine. So I'm not complaining too much sine I play for free. I'm more concerned at the substituting of the 3 MP orb bundle with kisses for playing seasons. For me this was a big loss. Also. if there's some rebalancing required it's in Mythic Pachinko. There are far too many avatar drops compared with boosters in particular. As for girls. This disastrous. Nevertheless, it's because of MP I managed to gain some much needed 5 star legendaries in the right classes for me. Also, I got fed up with not getting many chances of getting Plavala in any which way until she came up alone in one account this round of MP. She's one of my favs and I simply had to waste bundles to get her. I wasn't disappointed, except for her affection scenes.
  8. Warning noted and my apologies. I realised I was taking a risk, but I thought I was being close enough to the line to be okay. It doesn't seem to be working out as expected anyway, but I'll be alot more areful next time.
  9. Thank you dating tokens! It's thanks to this I managed to get Lapis in Peregrine Took and Herbie Hynde. I managed to get her into the nineties in my other KH accounts, too, so, if the dating tokens appear again and I rebuild, I should get her in those too. I also finally managed to get Golden Bunny in my Lili account where the absence of 5 star HC legendaries was once quite galling and frustrating. Then came the chance to get Darla and Sponsor Sara Jay in quite quick succession through Mythic Pachinko. So I now have 4 which is enough to keep me happy for the time being and to develop a more competitive orgy team. The drop rate for this event was absolutely terrible in all my accounts: every ten spins for x5 max and mostly x1 with 40 or more spins for zilch. I thought I was a cert to get her in Peckerbird at the end, but I had 50 spins for zero. It's the worst result I ever had despite starting with around 4,400 kobans in each account. I didn't fully read the patch notes relating to the dating tokens so someone might help me here... Has this option now come to an end for good, or does it only appear when no event is taking place, other than PoA? I used to see it as an option against villains and in Epic Pachinko. Interesting name, Lapis. I immediately thought of stone, which was confirmed by her full name, Lapis Lazuli, which is a stone-derived indigo blue pigment used to create paints from Roman to Renaissance times. I wonder why she was given this name. All in all, good fun. But it looks like my great run with epic orbs is coming to an end. The patch notes tell me their drop rate is to be reduced. Does this mean that the opportunity to gain Epic orbs is reduced or has the drop rate for single EP spins been reduced? It makes sense that it is the former because the notes did not mention about the drop rate for girls from EP being reduced. Either way is bad news because I know what HH's announcement of a reduced drop rate means - usually a big reduction! The only source of EP orb rewards I can think of for me is in competitions, contests or from Places of Power. Regarding the 'best' legendary girl, my tick goes to Keiko. She is super cute. I agree with others that Lapis looks weird.
  10. I'll make a change in topic a bit later. Just a comment, though, on going up the levels. It gets harder and harder to increase the girls XP with a max of 8 books of varying value every 8 hours, unless one forks out 42 kobans to restock - I've done this a few times. I'm still under 400 XP so I have a long way to go, a probable result of not playing the leagues much. In Peregrine Took I still managed to gather over 400 girls in my harem and its a tough job keeping track of them. Playing the champions is useful in this regard. I'm finding these later quests in Stairway to Heaven increasingly interesting as the big L.O.V.E word seems to lay ahead for our team. I won't make a spoiler of it, suffice to say, there is a big shift in the scripting of this story towards a greater exploration of intimacy. I love it. I say too, Bunny is just so beautiful in it and she lives up to my earlier ravings about her in her Golden Bunny form. If the story steers away from what I anticipate it is going to be, as a hopeless romantic I'll be left utterly deflated. It's let me down before. When this world has finished for a requisite amount of time, I might do a proper analysis of it instead of these perplexing 'nudge-nudge, wink-wink notes.
  11. Members have been wonderfully diligent in recording their wins/orb. Some have won new Pachinko girls I noticed. Me? for this discussion I'll stick to my Herbie Hynde account because what happened there is very interesting. I had 16 epic orbs to play with and I gained three girls on the trot with them - a true hat-trick! In order: Alt. Lupa, Jingle and Alt. Bunny. I didn't play Hentai Clicker in that account so I consider myself privileged. Also, in the same account, since I gained Cora from the last Orgy Days, I added Kimechi, Holly, Lucile, as well as the aforementioned Alt. Lupa, Jingle and Alt. Bunny. I haven't read through all the comments, but for me most of my success came courtesy of Places of Power. Finally, while it is off-topic a bit, I'd like to comment on the girls and artwork. I reckon it's great and not only does Jingle have the most amazingly beautiful bum in her final pose, but she is profiled as having strawberry blonde hair. I have to agree and the artists have captured all the tonal subtilties and hues of the real McCoy. For me this is the most beautiful hair colour a woman can possess. Regarding the two Hentai Clicker girls, while I find their profile poses fairly ordinary, the affection scenes are wonderful and superbly captured. In another account I managed to get Delilah - a very Mala-like girl, but with a twist. I don't think it would be a spoiler to suggest that the writers have finally stated it: the concept of love - something I suggest might be given full expression in the current Stairway to Heaven quest. Being a hopeless romantic I can't wait! If my prediction is wrong I'll be crest-fallen.
  12. Gardavulv! I so lusted afer her when she first appeared, teasing me in Pachinko only. Now she's a mission girl! I can't believe the generosity of Kinkoid here. This new version of Robin is very appealing, but for those disappointed in Tachibana (if any exist) her poses improve with each one and her affection scenes are very funny, even if the last one is very unlikely. Yes, she's Pachinko only - yet again - and this is annoying. For me this is just as frustrating as always missing out on Plavala, Talila or Lil Red. Because I lost the internet at a critical time, I missed out on Talila when she was a mission girl. I managed to get Robin (in roller skates this time - since it's Spring, but not for me) and again with some genuinely good humour of the Crush Crush kind. I went for Cora this time in most accounts, but I'm trying for Clitario and Brittany in others, despite being epic girls. I want to see how Clitario develops, like dropping the mask in whole or part. Cora's last affection scene has a great image of Mary, sinister and beautifully cute at the same time. Cora, for me, is not the most sexy of the HH girls, but how do you make mermaid's bodies sexy, despite all the mystique surrounding them. They don't have fannies or bums to ogle over. If I get the chance to get her, Boku mi mai is next. She was never my favourite in her original form. Just an aside... Will we get Lickpus as a future cameo. She appears with Wendy in one of her affection scenes and her last pose. It would be great to have a Spirimon collection for my harem.
  13. I concur with comments about the lousy drop rate. In this account I managed to get only Joyce and this through a X100 drop. I wasn't too concerned, however, because I had a good chance of getting the likes of Bianka through a Pachinko drop in later events (thanks to the magic of PoP) and so it proved to be. Bianka dropped in Orgy Days and I'm not disappointed. (Cleaning) maid, huh? Good surname for her then - McClean. Very sexy upskirt in her first affection scene. She's from Invaded Kingdom, the first hint that there is a community beyond the Tyranny of Grunt-control castles and the endless housemaid clones. She's less cute and childlike and her boobs are bigger - and only one large plait.
  14. I was transfixed by Joyce from the word go. Sexy yet elegant attire and gorgeous face. Really nice bum in her opening pose! She looks like a girl who doesn't suffer fools gladly and will suck them dry, so to speak - a champagne escort if ever there was one. I managed to get her by means of a lucky x100 drop and I'm not disappointed. Although the tonal quality of the artwork has tthe character of poster art, her face looks stunning in both poses and affections scenes. It seems like the artist is not necessarily new, but more likely evolved in style under influence from others. It's not a bad style at all IMO. Notwithstanding my preoccupation with Joyce, apart from Bianka I now have all of them, thanks in large part to the generosity of PoP. I love all of them. Merlinda's opening affection scene is sexy, playful and romantic all at the same time. Her link to Marilyn Monro is no coincidence, even down to her up-breeze-affected dress.
  15. For me, her first pose resembles that of Ria, but otherwise I'm not sure. I managed to get her in my Peckerbird account and I think she is really pretty.
  16. Since MD is beyond my pay grade I don't bother. It's hard enough getting LD girls these days let alone something that lasts three (two?) days.
  17. Touch wood! On the main server, the issue has largely been resolved. As far as I can make out, only my member profile is still replaced with the restricted video message. The test server, however, while mostly resolved, still has standard images replaced with the message. I wonder what caused this. It happened after the game came back online after the upgrade.
  18. I have the same problem, even in the forum. It seems to be a placeholder image for images used in the game, including my profile image. I use Firefox... The image above demos the problem, but also to indicate that it didn't stop me from winning Vespa in a x100 drop so it's not all bad, I guess.
  19. I finally managed to access the patch notes. Re. login issues, I read this: 'To make it easier for all our players, we’ve implemented SSO- single sign-on. This will allow you to use your email with all Kinkoid games without having to sign in every time'. There was also something about incognito: 'If you are playing in a browser in incognito mode, you will see a different version of the sign in screen Note: Players using incognito mode might have issues signing in!' Incognito means unrecognised in Latin. I'm at a loss to know what this means. Does at mean my browser (Firefox) creates non-specific identities for my logins? Whatever the case, Kinkoid's explanation is far from clear. The single sign-in is not relevant to my specific concerns. How can one account be in incognito mode nd the other 'normal'. Is there a way I can sort this problem out myself if, indeed, it's my problem. I have had the two different login screens come up, but they seem to be random as to what account it does so. Could you please clarify. Am I going to be able to login normally or not? Or is something that is meant to make it easier for players going to make it insanely difficult for me.
  20. So, you're admitting that Kinkoid et al. are deliberately making things difficult for users of multiple accounts. Well, what an admission! None of this explains why the logout/login was working fine after initial problems, but got worse really quickly. You suggest to me that I'll just have to go through the arduous process of deleing cookies every time I want to switch accounts, until they get around to closing this 'loophole' too. It would be more honest if they were to remove the logout option completely, then we'd know where we stand, but it's still there - for the moment anyway. By the way, I wasn't able to access the patch notes either, so I can't be blamed for not doing so, but I'll try again shortly to see if I can this time.
  21. This issue is still far from resolved. I have multiple accounts and the only way I can switch accounts is to remove the www.hentaiheroes.com and hentaiheroes.com cookies. For good measure I remove the kinkoid.com cookie too. This works but what a pain in the butt when I'm racing to complete the daily missions in time. Sure, we were given an extra day with the PoA as consolation, but even this generosity will wear thin if this problem persists for too much longer. It might be a cookie problem
  22. I've found the same - and worse!! Not only has the login been slow to action, but sometimes the game boots me out to the logtin screen. Also, I cannot login to the test account at all because it no longer recognises my username and/or password. Everything is dreadfully slow making the game virtually unusable, especially Places of Power. Obviously there's a bug fix going on in real time because I've seen three different login screens to date (gone is linkette). The good news is that things appear to be slowly coming right - with logins anyway.
  23. I managed to get Alexandra and Bernadette Barda in my Lili account to go with the Xmas version of the ultimate milf, Louise Carot. For my other accounts I had less success because I refused to burn kobans for the privilege of getting more girls. Then I noticed this in Peckerbird after finally getting Nesola... I named this image the Three Rabbiteers. So it's her three star thumbnail image. It's not a spoiler because this is the upgrade we see in Nike's performances. This brings me back on topic re. Xmas Bunny's Mother. For me this is by far her best version, from her classy opening attire - like just the classiest escort you'd ever see in furs, to her alluring nakedness in her final pose. Even her affection scenes are magnificent (apart from the usual lame script) and it suggests the artist loved the concept of her and might even have got off during her creation. I was totally shocked and pleasantly surprised to see her as a mission girl, and a legendary one at that. Big vote of thanks to Kinkoid et al. It must've been a dream come true for a lot of members that Alexandra became available outside of Packinko because so many of you expressed the desire to have her in their harems, not so much for me, but I liked her four-star pose. For me I was so glad to have a chance to get Bernadette Barda. She is very lovely, especially her pretty face and lovely wavy blonde locks.
  24. Holiday fixup! Yay!! From Zero to Hero in one fell swoop. Excellent artwork and a very pretty, expressive and cute face. For me she moved from a 'best avoided', to one of my best girls I love looking and looking at, in the same way I enjoy looking at both versions of Lopussy. There are a few others needing a rework, including Santa Claudia 3 whose artwork is a real let down after the incredibly sexy Santa Claudia 2 version.
  25. I'm back after being locked out of the forum for a week or so. There appears to be a revamp and this might be the reason. Anyway, there appears to be a general concensus re. a low drop rate. I can concur with this with my best account for Amaya being 33 shards so far. My worst is 11 shards which is awful for this stage of the event. Compare this for Norou. I have her in every account already with her added in two more when she last reappeared, and she was relatively easy to get. Unless Amaya gets to around 50 or 60 shards I won't be busting my guts to get her and I'll just be saving my kobans. I'll wait patiently for her selection in Mythic Pachinko to make use of the orb bundles I got from PoA, but only in my hardcore accounts. I have three legendaries in my HC accounts that are within reach. As trite as it must sound, good luck everybody.
