Start was bugged at .com. Should be fixed now. At least for me it works now.

This is a must have skin. I have always disliked all the flame effect on piper.

Kind of a shitty event. All the effort required and only one person in the game gets 100 shards. 

Edit... actually 3 people after the daily reset. which is still shitty

I had the same thing, but then everything appeared. But I won't waste resources, which are already in short supply, on another incomprehensible event. They should do more activities to extract resources, not shards for girls. And so it turns out, I have a car, but no gasoline or oil. And it's not a car anymore, but a piece of useless metal.

It's not only the 1st in the Ranking, it's the top 1%

Only if max 100 players at this server would participate.

But you can expect that some thousands will participate so 50-100 as range of the top1% should be more realistic. 

Shitty enough, but much better than the from you assumed 1 Person per day.

As said before, a time and resource sink, and it seems that slowly all revivals will be substituted by "player requested features" as raids and world boss tournament

You cannot imagine how much I suffer with so many effects surrounding girls images.

Thanks for clarifying. Im not sure how i overlooked that, considering that i am aiming for a lower percentage block.

[garadron]

ok, so I'm not surprised that this is not an event to get a girl for free but damn those scores are high to even get a shard

I'll have to wait for them to release a new L5 girl to actually compare it with LD or DP, because here I don't really have a reason to play.

edit: ups, wrong topic. Bolitho, could you please move this to the one about the boss tournament? 😅

@garadron

As you wished 😎

I decided to split to the Event specific thread, even the post would fit to the general Thread too.

[bolitho76]

 

and from nutaku (thanks to xeni who shard this at Discord):

[Sinnin]

The top 1% are insane

[Varaczek]

Did everyone get their measly 8 shards for the first day (at Nutaku)? Because I definitely didn't. I guess Greedoid doesn't love me enough
 

Ed: Okay, scratch that, I did get those skin shards, it's just they can't get them to show in the tooltip properly.

Thanks to infarctus we have the score from nutaku:

 

The 2nd day showed a drastical decrease in the scores. From ca. 750k down to ca. 550k for top1% at .com and from ca. 1M to ca. 800k at nutaku. So ca. 20%+ reduced.

[Sinnin]

The 3 day event is actually only a 2 day event.

What absolute f*ckery!

It was exactly so described in the Patch Notes. So no surprise.

From Patch Notes 30/2025: 

[Sinnin]

Patch notes? It needs to mention this in game.

[holymolly]

the comment in game is btw wrong ... states that we are able to get 1x rewards per day.. it got reported as well.

Since when is anything decleared in the game properly?
Not even something simple as the kalender is present ingame.

And yes I agree, things in the patch notes might be available for the short moment as it is released, but if you are looking for some Info a few weeks or even months later, you have to scroll through the whole page and hope to find what you seek, having to know that there indeed is somthing to find in the first place.

If we didn't have the forum or discord, most of the usefull info wouldn't be available for the players at all.

----

*bad thoughts*
Maybe if they cold charge us a few kobans everytime we click on some usefull help or info in the game, this way it might be at least a teeny tiny bit interesting for them to provide such stuff so we could find it directly where it is needed.

Hope I didn't say that out too loud. - Bad Der DinX

Full ranking

 

So, personal results of the activity:

• Before the start I had 23 shards
• On the first day I got into the top 25 (although visually there were more points than needed for the top 10) and got 8 shards
• On the second day I finally got into the top 10 and got 17 shards
• Result - 48 shards

Were spent: all the stocked frames in the messenger, about 2100 kisses, more than 250 GPx10 and more than 100 MPx1
The question is - was it worth it? Most likely not. Let's see what happens in the next iteration of the activity, if nothing changes - I will not participate anymore

[bolitho76]

Thankfully I could gain Piper at her MD so no need to go all in here. The defenitly dropped down score at the 2nd day make hope, that, after the storaged ressources dropped down a lot, the next appearances of WBT will have lower scores too, but I have my doubts that they will drop to a "meaningfull" amount.

I see it differently. Sure, a lot of players with stored resources drove up the points this time. However, 75% of the participants basically got nothing for the spent resources. Many of them will not be fooled again. Unlike other contests, WBT ranking bases on the participants, not all players. So, as the participation shrinks the whales will have to spend fight harder to place at the top 25%. Those 1% who scored 700K points will then face each other at lower brackets. Depending on how much participation shrinks, they may even have to fight for top 25%. That will leave little room for the f2p players which again drive participation lower. Unless KK change the ranking to base on all players or to make the bottom 75% rewards more meaningful, I don't see this feature sustainable for any players, whales or f2p. The only course of action I see is to ignore it. Speed up the inevitable to force KK to change.

[jelom]

If @Master-17 spending is a sample of the needed resources (to get just 25 shards), then this feature is doomed for me, no one can sustain those losses, and reaffirm my decision not to participate in WBT. I just did a token test of the functionality of it, getting 600 points the first day.

I feel sorry for players who missed Piper during her MD and got fucked over by devs with this event. Luckily for me, Yura was the last one I needed from current revival order. For the last 3 I have to wait for revivals to start over from the beginning, and with current WBT situation, I hope it won't happen soon. I was ready to spend 1k, maybe 2k tickets for mythic but 8k is pure madness. I thought my 11k stockpiled tickets would be more than enough to get all mythics if they get revivals in WBT format but it would be barely enough for 1.

[Vovantillo]

 Spent one ticket - , played one fight, got - . I feel great, my nerves are in place, time is not lost, resources are not wasted. Kinkody came up with a good scam to pump resources out of whales, I'm only afraid that they went too far. Whales pay for pleasure, not for nervousness, shaking hands and trembling lips... I sincerely sympathize with these people.
