[ 20-Jul-22 ] Golden Anniversary - Discussion

[Liliat]

Alright:

Final results :

- 5940 Kobans for both Cards

- 6580 Kobans for MD

- 1042 Kobans for Classic

- 2473 Kobans for LD

- 3553 Kobans for OD

- 119 Kobans for a final last-minute (partial) combativity refill to get the 13 missing crystals

That's a grand total of 19,707 Kobans to reach the 3rd girl of the event. Fortunately, with a lot of overlaps (I wouldn't have paid 20k just for Anniversary).

As expected, it took a lot of effort and dedication, for very limited rewards (The girls are nice, both for Scenes and Poses, but the intermediate rewards are really a joke, only adding to the frustration for players who ended somewhere between 2 girls). While I think this kind of event has some potential, the cost, rewards and objectives need to be significantly reworked. I bought both cards on Day 1 because I didn't know they would stack, but I won't be making the same mistake again.

The event really isn't friendly to new players, since it's so massively PvP-oriented (Even the PvE goals require Kobans for Refills, and you only get significant amounts from PvP, later in the game). Many (casual) newer players failed to even get Rabbi. Not really the inclusive kind of event.

And of course, the fact that one girl is exclusive to paying players is a dangerous trend.

Condolences.

 

I got Lyka just now. Lost a few season fights but special thanks to @Liliat for many 100% wins  Of course thanks to everyone else with a weak team!

Another event, another nothing because it ended before I realized and wasn't able to click on any of the girls. Really hate how big rewards like girls can vanish forever even though you qualified to get them, just because you failed to click. First time an event like this happens, it ends in the middle of the month, there's no point staring at it every day or checking on it, and it just goes poof. But there's never much sympathy for anyone who misses them, right?

Nah, I think that's your fault dude.  The event lasted 31 days.  If you never clicked on it... no one's fault but yours.  Don't really have a justification to complain for that.

No hope for a refund through support or Kinkoid in general, if that's what you had in mind.

Beyond that, honestly, I'm doing my best to sympathize with your situation, but it's really hard. That event lasted for a whole month, and it had a clear timer on the home page all along. There's really no excuse for having missed when it would end completely, let alone left unclaimed rewards in general, but especially unclaimed girls on the table if you were paying so little attention to how long you had left to claim them. The more constructively I can turn this is... Take this as a crucial lesson, learnt the hard way: from now on, always check event end dates, and/or always claim major rewards like girls as soon or very shortly after unlocking them.

Good luck, have fun.

I've had the same thing happen to me with seasons; I was cutting it close to make sure I had as many extra resources with me into the next month, then something came up and It ended up where I didnt get anything as I was not there until after the reset.

Now I make sure to claim things well in advance of the reset, if there is no major reason to leave it until the end, I claim it when it becomes availible.
Situaitions where It makes sense to leave it till the final day; I make sure that I claim whatever is left when I either go to sleep or are beeing called away, and its less then 100% chance I'll get back in time.

[geraldo2]

My big thing is, we know there's already a system in place to auto-collect rewards and dump them onto you. Why not have that be standard? Why even allow for things to get "lost" in this way, when anything that isn't collected can be force-collected? Is it purely an incentive to get people to use one of the monthly cards?

Does the silver card allow the collection of the anniversary thing the same way it does for a previous season or PoV/G, at least?

Knowing the GA ended on the 19th was important info.  Not just for claiming rewards, but in case you were going to buy the 6k kos cards, you'd know that waiting until the LC or MDR, wouldn't grant Xtals for the GA.  Waiting until the final day, to collect the girls for the PoV made sense, to unlock PXP for the LC, but that doesn't seem like what happened here.  It looks like absentmindedness. 

I don't wanna "beat a dead horse" too much, but that's why this thread, calendars, and countdown timers exist.  I could see how not recruiting Season girls could happen, except I usually get them during the LC for more points.  Also, I have clubmates that give out a friendly warning, when any event is about to end, to collect rewards.  Thankfully it never happened to me.  If I missed girls, it's because I wasn't playing for years, not because I forgot to recruit them.

The question already contains the answer, here...

Thanks, I was pretty sure I remembered reading this somewhere Yeah, silver card should give you the girls you missed.

That's the big reason why it will never be standard: players pay for that.

I double checked; seems I didnt learn once.
I am missing girls from two seasons:
Spy Season 
Royal Season

Golden Anniversary Gifts

No one did this yet, so I went back, checked my screenshots, and overlaid all of the GA's daily gifts upon July-Aug. calendars.  It looks like we got 1258 Xtals from gifts on HH.com.  Plus, 1k gems, 40k GXP, 1 EPx1, 9 MPx1s, 2 MPx3s, 8x GPx10s, & 350 Energy.  There were more gifts prior, but I'm focusing on the GA itself.  I appreciated the 20x temple worship, for the Pantheon.  That helped me a lot.  If I could replace some gifts for the future, I'd replace all of the boosters and sexting gifts, w/ CP, Kisses, Condoms, and/or Xtals.

I wish I knew these gifts at the start of the event, so I could plan better.  Just like the regular daily login rewards, and the GA's tiered Xtal rewards.  A lack of transparency was a definite issue.

btw it was kinda very strange that Daily Gifts were ending 10 mins early than daily cutoff... i kinda dont understand purpose of it? and yeah i missed i think 2 gifts before i noticed that 10 mins difference

also how u guys feel about that one of Event rewards for quite a big score was = 1000 EXP ?!

about geraldo not claiming girls = u actually dont care that much about event. othervise u wont miss it coz time reminder was on main page all the time.

Or simply pay for the Silver Card, if you can't manage to find the dedication to check on the event at least once in a while... Even the first level of Monthly card will take care of that for you...

I stopped with acquiring Golden Lupa's Mom here, but in CxH I went all the way to the 4th girl (though I did NOT buy Crystals anywhere!).

I'm willing to share my final achievement with you if you didn't claim yours:
