[ 01-Aug-20 ] Kinkversary IV (2020) - Discussion

[bill1]

Result: Anniversary Noemy + Adelaide + Greta + 51shards for JennaHotty (no refills). 

During the event we also collected Hikea (EP Orb) + Avia (Silvanus) + Fabienne (MP Orbs). 

And main thing kobans are back up to 7.000. 

[Max669]

I got Anniversary Noemy and 3 girls from the villains, however the last one cost me 5 refills...

There are no more daily login bonuses ?

[Тёмный Властелин]

Ok, the event finished with the following results:

• got 6 girls (5 from the trolls + 1 mission) - Anniversary Noemy, Anniversary Derri, Anniversary Jenni, Arabella, Greta, Adelaide;
• spent 4,5k kobans on refills for Greta and Adelaide.

NICE!

The whole anniversary was really good. Got 15 girls from Trolls + 5 from the orbs + 4 from PoA + 1 from the champ. 25!

Got Sensual Cherrin just in time, and then before her I got Ria. I got Anniversary Noemy of course, and I think that's about it, I saved up some kobans for Legendary Days (hope 4k is enough to get Sai, and the tins are at 85 at the start of the event, so I should be fine). Overall, this anniversary month has been a disappointment and the art is a travesty, along with sneaky post-hoc changes to the first event and poorly executed gifts, which really ramped up nicely and were very awesome in the last week.

[blaa]

Finished the event with 28 refills (1008 nubans) and around 600 free combativity. I obtained 6 girls from villians whereas 3 should be free and 3 should be nubaned (which makes 336 nubans for one girl, which is pretty great compared to the 900 I would have to pay for x10 epic pachinko). For one of the girls I got a 100x drop on 40 shards. So in total I was a little bit under average regarding 'regular' drops, regarding ressources a little bit over average thanks to the drop. Decided to spend my event orbs from the last PoAs because I was in need of some upgrades and got Selena along the way (10 equpis (1 good, 9 bad), 5 gifts)

Overall it was really a worthy celebration, I would say. I started with 35 500 nubans and 328 epic orbs and 4 event orbs with 294 girls in my harem. I got every villian girl in all events and I am now on 31500 kobans, 443 epic orbs, 0 event orbs and 328 girls in my harem. There may be 1 or 2 regular villian girls, but 32-34 girls from the events with a minus of 4000 nubans (and 4 event orbs) is more than great, at least I think so.

Only criticism I have, is, like usual, the bad communication of everything. It would have been so more fun, especially reading the forum posts in the first event, if there were some heads up, what they were planing and actually doing. Obviously the first event wasnt a celebration for newer players or players who werent having a big enough koban stash - some of them would have probably appreciated any reliable information that they could spent their kobans for a 'better' return a few days later.

No, these were part of the Anniversary month, which ended today at 13 PM with the Kinkversary event.

Today I logged out and in trying to get the daily gift, and for a moment I didn't know why I wasn't getting it 😂

Well, pretty much every other F2P game has daily login bonuses, so...

We get 150 kobans for completing daily missions that also give us money, equipment, Epic Pachinko orbs or champion tickets.

We can't complain about what we get for free.

 

OT: I ended up getting Anniversary Fairy and Anniversary Jennie from bosses, then Noemi and from the Epic Pachinko I got Karyn. Plus at the start of the event I got Superchick from the Mythic Pachinko. I wish I could have gotten Derrie, but with only 9 days it just wasn't possible.

[TeeJay]

Well, I managed to get Adelaide last night about an hour and a half before end. I did two partial refills, one for 9 (to give me 20 to work with), then another for 13 (to get back up to 20 as I was at that very close spot in shards that if I didn't get the right drops I'd have to do a full refill).

So 2 girls with one (technical) refill over 9 days isn't too bad I suppose. I kept getting a lot of low end shard drops so that really stretched it out.

I did notice that my shard drop rate was much higher with Adelaide. I could say with near certainty that it averaged to 1 for every 10, and I got more higher shards per-drop with her as well.

[Karyia]

Got a total of 8 girls:

- 6 on villains (Jenna, Greta, Anniversary Jennie, Ria, Arabella and Adelaide)

- 1 by epic orb (Anniversary Abraël)

- 1 missions (Anniversary Noemy)

The 12h mythic rotations and this event's gifts were good bonuses too.

The fourth anniversary is now over. I hope each of you has made up your mind and you want to share it.

This time, I'm offering you a survey on all the steps of the game's anniversary. Obviously, considering the number of parts, it's more time-consuming to complete than the previous one. So I will ask you a little more time to answer.

Thank you also for your attention and your future constructive replies.

Completely unrelated to what I said. Other F2P games ALSO give players rewards for playing. This has nothing to do with daily login bonuses.

True for everything he said, but there is a free one, a free great pachinko game every 24 hours after the last free one. You even dont have to play the game, you just need to log in and activate it (what maybe feel like playing it, but that's not how I would define it (what's not a standard, just mine)). But I guess, that's what you meant.

Can I just say that the MC is a jerk for celebrating his 4 years in the Haremverse without Bunny, the one who brought him there 😑 Especially since it's also more or less coinciding with Bunny's birthday.

I couldn't agree with you more, notwithstanding that I'm unashamedly biased.  I love Bunny and she's integral to not only the whole adventure, but to the identity of Hentai Heroes.  I've been waiting and waiting for a full-blown romance between our hero and Bunny.  A love match has been hinted at on both sides, but has never quite got there.  This is immensely frustrating to me - a hopeless romantic.  But then, the MC, as you call him IS a jerk and this has been demonstrated so often, not least in how he interacts with Neono, even now - something she has been at pains to point out to him.  Of course, all this means that Kinkoid and the script writers are able to laugh at themselves and for this we can feel appreciative.

[Observer_X]

I must admit that I am surprised by the results I was able to reach in this event, given the new shortening of duration, but anyways I consider them insufficient, given the number of girls I simply had to ignore (this independently from the fact that the ones I ignored would have been "only another girl in my harem"). At the start I was already at 68/100 on Ria, so that was my first target, reached in about two days. Having spied the poses of all the anniversary girls, I found only Fairy worth of my time, and the next two and a half days were spent on her. After Fairy finally dropped, for me the matter was to choose among the remaining girls the ones that were less worst by my tastes, so first I went on Karole and made JennaHottyTeen69 drop in another two and a half days. Having to choose one last girl that probably I would not be able to complete (as it actually was) my final pick was Arabella, motivated by the fact that only three levels were missing by Donatien to unlock his Tier 3. In the end Arabella ended at x70 and I obtained also the first 8 shards of Valicta. In extremis I was able to complete all the daily missions and received Noemy, so the balance is four girls obtained (nearly exactly, as I started at x68 on Ria and ended at x70 on Arabella) and three I had to ignore (Derri, Jennie and Sensual Cherrin, I already had Greta and Adelaide). The time to obtain one more girl  (included the pending x70 on another girl) would have made my overall judgement of this event hang on the positive side. Like this, is too many girls available in a too short period of time, despite the fact I experienced an increased drop rate.

Better too many girls available than too few.

You would be right if all those girls would have another chance to be obtained by any player in an arc of two or three months: being a fact that for the majority of those girls it will be necessary to wait for a year (if not more) to have another chance of make them drop, I absolutely disagree with you.

I don't expect to get every girl. I think the majority of players are in the same boat as I am. Maybe you're so advanced you're just spoiled. Why should every player expect to get all the girls in 2 or 3 months? If the game is too easy, it's not worth playing. If you were a baseball player, would you expect to get a hit every time at bat? (Or, if you're not American, would you expect to score a goal every time you kicked the ball in a soccer game?) I have, at present, 12 girls with partial shards. I don't mind finishing off some of them later. I, for one, am glad the game is a challenge. I would be bored otherwise.

Oh man, Doc, you make me feel like a BIG time slacker.  I had to check my girls and I have 30 with partial shards.  But, you are right.  If I wanted to just view porn and not have a challenge in game I'd just go to Porn hub or some such gaming site.

That depends on the challenge you are searching. When I started playing HH, I were able to obtain nearly every villain event girl with only free combativity, with the occasional girl "escaping", and that suited me perfectly. Since the attraction system introduction, my list of partials has never ceased to increase. Although there are other reasons that keep me playing the game, my opinion is that with all due proportions, the main difference between paying players (the only ones that are able to obtain all girls) and free players should be simply one: time. I know that this game is not like this and I don't care a bit if people around here doesn't agree with me. Point is, the main objective of the game is getting all the possible girls (even the devs initially on their site confirmed this by mangling the slogan of the Pokemon series: gonna fuck 'em all): if a free player has to wait three years to be able to obtain a legendary girl and you simply define that a challenge, forgive me guys, but I will never agree with you. Moreover, it is well known that the game doesn't give enough free resources (in particular kobans) to allow free players to be effective at every event, and the number of event days every month has done nothing else than increase with the age of the game. I suppose you guys will define this "increased challenge", and again, I will never agree with you on this. As a 3+ years player, I consider all these implementations nothing else than devs gimmicks to push free players to ditch the game or become paying players, a thing that certainly would not make me give the team good advertising around the Net.

I agree 100%.  But that's the goal of ALL developers on ALL game sites.  To get you to give them your cash.  To get you to break out that credit card.  As for me, that tactic does not work.  I know I'll never be able to compete with paying players so I do not even try to.  I just kill time here.

Perfect example is this event.  With 2+ days left I have 20/100 shards for Tanned Marina.  Will I get the 100 in 2 days?  I highly doubt it so I'm not even using any of the 6800 kobans I have saved up.  I'll save them for a possible PoA event that may appear. So, I'll be happy to just get the event/gift girl.

In my case it would be impossible for that tactic to work... simply because I don't own a credit card.

About the rest, for me is different: when I have spare time, I am almost always online here, and I don't like to spend my spare time doing something that does not make me enjoy at least a bit. Although, as I said, I have other reasons to continue playing the game, I cannot deny that in my three years of playing, on a 1-10 scale, the enjoyment for me has downgraded from the starting 9 to a little more than a 7.

[DocJD]

Of course, paying players should get things non-paying players don't. I don't begrudge them because they make it possible for me to play for free. And I don't object to the game company doing things to encourage players to spend money. If no one spent some real money this game would not exist. I've been playing less than 4 months, so I have no old, "easy," play to compare to. Once the virus is gone and everything is open, I will spend far less time on this game. For now, it's an enjoyable way to kill some time for free (which is my goal) even if I don't get all the girls (which is not my goal).
