DocJD Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Although I did not buy any extra Energy and started Comix Harem one week after it began, I seem to have finished all adventures and side quests. Where can I spend my energy? Not only am I continuing to earn it, I have hundreds unclaimed from Seasons. I'm sure others must have run into the same problem. Am I missing something?

alx152 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 So at this moment we can not get past stage VII in Cyber Cuties 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudeManGuy Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 With the new 'Cyber Cuties' dropping I notice that once again it requires energy being spent for both Tier 7 and 14, 120 and 240 energy respectively. I sincerely hope at some point soon there will be some option added to allow players who reached the end of content to do so... otherwise it's going to be a bit hard completing it. I also note that in the cookie-cutter fashion with which the event was cloned from Hentai Heroes that it gives players the option to go to 'Champions' in order to expend energy... a feature that doesn't exist in Comix Harem. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl5 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Wednesday is usually update Day. So lets Hope Champions come Tommorow, to Spend Energy. And then Save Tickets for next Month xD.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther_MC Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Maybe they could at least add some side quest with zero rewards and 999 stages to spend 10 energy each. That way we could complete things like 'Cyber Cuties' without having to wait on them to finish the story. It could even be completely boring like 'Stare in the Mirror' 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they get it right on the girl images on harem, they butchered the girls on quest scenes. The art in the latest quest makes me want to vomit. The story has been boring so far. The game is nowhere near production quality. It is more alpha than beta. I am stuck right now on tier 17 of PoA. The game has no means of earning millions of dollars quickly. There is no champion or PoP. CxH has paywall all over and yet it is supposed to be a beta to gain user feedback. I am really done with it this time. I get more enjoyment out of playing HH test server. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelom Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 August is almost finished, so it is time for a quick recap of my experience in comix harem. previous month here https://forum.kinkoid.com/index.php?/topic/18569-🗯️💥comix-harem-beta-💥🗯️/&do=findComment&comment=238821 This month has been comparatively easy. I have reached level 159, only one level below the top ones in the leaderboard, so the level gap has vanished (I know the whales will rush season again tomorrow, but the level difference will be smaller as time pass). I have 48 girls, getting also some x100 for 1-star girls in Great Night Club. It was a nice addition the first classic event where I got the two villain girls. I completed Season without difficulty reaching tier 54, I didn't even used a single booster. I still lack enough money and affection to upgrade many girls, so my battle team is somewhat reduced, but enough for a steady advance in seasons, I guess I lost only around 1 of every 10 battles, by carefully selecting opponents and keeping below position 500 in leaderboard. In legendary days I got half of the shards without refilling. It will be so for the next months as I don't have enough kobans to refill and unlock PoA later. The legendary contest I passed with x50 in the first 2 days without using much resources, especially orbs. I was expecting more fighting from the rest of the players. PoA was also easy with saved combativity and kisses, thanks to unlocking the second path with the saved kobans, right now is the best use of them. I restrained to use orbs and other resources for the latter events to assure an easier LC and PoA, it is a test of will but I am patient I hope a new feature (PoP, champions, league ...) appears during this month, and so abandoning the beta stage. I still find sometimes the art style disturbing but I am more used to it now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DvDivXXX Posted September 1, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2021 From my experience, CXH was and still is poorly implemented and balanced, and I mean in terms of which mechanics have been included and which have been ignored. And, whether intentional or not, it's the only variant that's actually P2W as hell. Any decent real-money purchase in this variant of the core HH game (again, mechanically) especially early on leads to snowballing your way to a very easy win-more experience, whereas staying strictly F2P is more frustrating on CXH than on any other version. And it's been getting worse and worse in my case. I literally have more fun on HoH, as empty, abandoned and insanely slow as it is (in terms of game progress, not loading times), than on CXH. The biggest issues are the aggravated scarcity of cash (ymens) while the game constantly demands you to somehow accumulate and spend TONS of it, orbs, XP and of course kobans. Not including Champions is a huge miss. That's your primary reliable source of cash for the early to mid game. But then the game has tasks like "spend 11M in cash" for PoA... Which already costs an arm and a leg in kobans (gold) in a game that has very few events and mostly very expensive ones, but no Leagues, PoPs or anything reasonable to make up for it. Seasons as the only PvP feature for all tasks and contests is another no-no. Last but definitely not least, I find it VERY shocking that the PoA in this version is so openly punishing for players already struggling due to the above (and due to the fact that our opponents who did put a few real-life bucks on this beta are completely and utterly crushing us in daily contests). Two Epics for the Free Path, and Two Legendaries for the 7.2k gold Path? Seriously? And I can't even finish the Free Path because of all the "spend millions in cash" tasks with only one cash reward that covers less than 10% of that... I've had to settle for 1 Epic girl per PoA several months in a row now. PoA, the best and most fun event in HH! The best bang for you kobans. In CXH, unless you've spent 10 bucks or so early on and enjoyed the win-more snowball since, it's the quintessential blue balls experience. I'm not sure why or for how long I keep going through the motions on CXH in its current state, honestly. Being this openly P2W, I'll never spend a dime on it. And the F2P experience is the most miserable any Kinkoid game has to offer. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Kenrae Posted September 1, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Well, I can only say that my experience with CxH is more inline with @jelom than @DvDivXXX. I'm a f2p player too and I haven't had any problem with PoA at all, the spend money task is easily accomplished by using the cash you get from Seasons - and saving it for PoA, of course. I only use my kobans to unlock the PoA premium path and save my resources for LC and PoA tasks. So far it's been a breathe, and most important: fun. On the topic of art, it depends a lot on the artist. I love some artists (for example, the artist who did World 3) and I hate some other artists (the worst is the one who did Hydragal sidequest). I understand that having different artists is in line with comic books experience, but that doesn't mean you need to have disturbing art. I'm level 159 and have 48 girls.

Moderator DvDivXXX Posted September 1, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2021 Fair enough, maybe it's on me for not adapting fast enough to the very specific requirements of CXH compared to other versions of the game. I can see how not spending anything at all the entire month and carefully saving all key Season rewards and resources for PoA might work. I'll actually try it this month. Being forced into this one strategy is just about the opposite of fun as far as I'm concerned, though, but to each their own. About the art, the real issue is that "comics" encompasses a lot of very different things, and only a relatively small subset of those things (creatively and in terms of visual style) can actually work with a sexy game. Ostensibly repulsive caricatures work well for stuff like Mad Magazine or a billion French/Belgian humor strips or books, but under no circumstances does it work at all in a context like CXH where the art is supposed to be visually pleasant and even arousing. The Side Quest "Caution: Wet!" is probably the clearest example of this style being used to a disastrous effect in this game, although there are plenty others. The most accomplished semi-realistic, smooth and relatively sexy type of US superhero comics art, regular adventure/fantasy/various other genres of European comics (especially Italian and French), and classic "Western" erotic and porn comics from both sides of the Atlantic fit this game perfectly. And there is a fair bit of that in the game. It's just that they need to stop hiring caricaturists to make pretty pictures, and go back and remake all previous caricatures they've released to replace them with relevant pretty art. As great as they each are in their own right, Manara would be a terrible pick to draw a super serious drama series; Moebius would be a terrible pick for a dick-joke level humorous comic strip; Frankin would be a terrible pick for a modern super-hero comic book; and obviously, Reiser would be the worst possible pick for a sexy erotic/porn project. Yet somehow, whoever is in charge of the art direction for CXH didn't foresee that. They took "comics" as a blanket term for any kind of non-manga comic books. That was a mistake. Picture below for reference (and again, this was a great artist in his own right, I'm not bashing him). This is just a very bad match with what the game is trying to accomplish.

Huangover Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Maybe this comment is best suited to a different thread but I find energy in this game a useless resource (HH much the same now). When I first started HH energy was a tease because I didn't have enough to progress the story as fast as I wanted but in this game that's not the case. Instead you have to use it on stupid side quests which consist of boring image stills and dialogue. Why energy is part of contests is beyond me also - I've never won a contest due to banked up energy. Maybe they should isolate energy as a separate contest instead of mixing it with XP contests. That said, it adds to the overall disappointment of CXH. If the graphic content cannot keep up with the energy recharge, reduce the recharge instead of offering crap content. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you find and old post with a spoiler tag and you can copy-paste it and it sometimes work (but then editing in and around it gets tricky). Besides, a picture is worth a thousand words...

DocJD Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 A lot of the art seems like poorly done hieroglyphics where the girls' eyes are full almonds, vertically symmetric, even when not seen straight on, and they have no lids or eyelashes. I'm not a professional but I can draw better than half the art here. As mentioned above, I save all my gold for the 2nd path in PoA and most of my cash for getting through the PoA. I think anyone who has problems with PoA may have invested too quickly in raising up their girls or spending gold on getting girls from events. I do occasionally have to use gold for boosters in Seasons, but only the epic boosters. Common and Rare don't give a good return and Legendary will not be worth much for a long time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty-er Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) I've tried CxH for a bit, then ran into the same problem as @TIG_GER. And now I got a message it is solved and I got some kisses and combativity to compensate. Apart from the fact that is nowhere near enough to compensate, I didn't get the kisses and combativity. If that's how CxH rolls, it can roll on without me. Not that it was likely that I would continue anyway, because of the "art". If I was looking for any other kind of comic, I might (maybe) enjoy it. Or at least read it. But no way in hell can I see this as arousing or even just pleasing. I'm with @DvDivXXX on this one. To me it looks as if the artists go out of their way to make people look butt-ugly.
