Thread: Fap CEO

The 2nd update of the day has landed.

Unlike their first attempt, 0.958p actually lets you log in and play.

During gains week I spent real money because I had forgotten to stockpile gems. I didn't really mind. This game's economy is by and large extremely fair, and I like to reward that practice when I see it by spending money even when I don't strictly need too (I could have just waited for next month's gains week with a larger gem stockpile). I mention this because this event feels...rather less fair. Someone earlier mentioned the devs are sometimes willing to alter events that are still in progress, and I'm kind of hoping to see that happen here.

I always try to keep 1,000 (free) rubies on hand for events that either require an investment or where you can clearly gain something extra. This event was no exception - I immediately unlocked two extra slots, and I have already cleared two of the prizes, so that was probably overkill. On the other hand, there's zero stress involved now. I was pretty sure I'd have to unlock at least one extra slot when I saw that the event was only for a week. That's less time than we're usually given.

A few hours short of two days are remaining for the event and I got 3,612 out of 7,000. I'm able to play 14 to 16 hours a day, if I'm lucky. What do you guys think - can I still make it?

Normally I'd say yes thanks to the "frenzy" sub-event helping to push you over the top, but that should have started by now so it looks like we're not getting one this time. I really hope they decide to extend this event, because as things are I'm not even going to get the second unlock...and unfortunately thanks to my OCD having missed timed content staring at me is a good way to kill my interest in a game. I know they've re-visited event girls in the past, but I'm pretty sure it's always come with new stuff that's only available to people who got the stuff from last time, so that doesn't really help.

Tadaah - they extended the event.

Indeed. Or even just because I spent some time with the game and had fun with it (even if I still have a hard time calling it a "game", but that's probably just the snobbism of a veteran gamer).

I don't like paying for gems or whatever. But it's hard to complain considering the abovementioned fairness of the game. And I accept the option to buy gems, suitcases or additional outfits as some kind of tip jar for the developers. I just hope they don't regret their decisions and switch to a strict pay-to-win-mode.

Looks like the event was extended a few days. Good thing too, I am at 3000/7000 for the final girl. This'll ensure I get it.

Yep, the pattern is unbroken, devs changed the active event. I'll bet that well over half of the players weren't going to complete it. I've been babysitting this one pretty closely, and I still was not certain I'd get the third outfit before they extended it by 2 days.

I'm often left scratching my head when a new event starts, wondering if they finally released one that a dedicated player can't complete without money. Regardless of any initial doubts, when the end of any event actually arrives I'm left with complete faith that the devs are NOT a bunch of money-grubbing assholes. I think they genuinely care about their game and delivering a good experience, even if it's "just" a silly little porn clicker.

Regarding "quest" events (like the current one)...

I still haven't homed in on the best way to handle these things, probably because I haven't tracked enough data to make the solution obvious. Maybe somebody else can shed some light on things.

Does buying additional quest slots change the likelihood of being able to earn all the rewards (outfits and emails)?

I realize that more simultaneous quests = more chances for legendary quests that increase your multiplier and give you max currency for the time spent. If all other things are equal, it would clearly be best to unlock all slots before unlocking the first reward.

The potential gotcha is that every time you unlock something (slots or rewards), it increases the cost of the ones you don't have yet. If you buy a slot too late in the event, it won't have time to pay for itself before the end and you could miss out on a reward.

How late is too late for buying a quest slot?

Has anyone unlocked all slots AND rewards without spending gems?

I don't know if I can be of any help, but I can say this:
I've always tried to hold back at least 300 rubies. The game's pretty fair about its premium currency distribution so far. I always unlock the first slot immediately after relaunching the game. I'm able to get online and restart new missions every hour for 14 to 16 hours a day. Shorter missions have a better outcome per hour as longer ones. With two slots, up to this day, I've always been able to secure all rewards, but barely so.

Yep. And even 4 hours before the event should have ended before it was extended. It was closer than the last events but it was doable.

How late is too late for buying a quest slot? Hard to say. When you get very close to the end of the event, luck will also play a role. I calculated that I could get ~1100, maybe 1200 suitcases per day per slot if I play regularly but not excessively. So... if you know how many quest items you need for finishing the event successfully, you could count back to assess if it is too late to buy an extra slot or not.

Say you still need 8000 suitcases, have two full days left and three slots active. You would get 2x 1200 = ~2400 per slot till the end of the event, x3 = 7200. Buying the fourth slot would definitely help in this case and you could even put it off until the beginning of the last day.

If you need 10000 suitcases, have only 2 active slots and 2 days left, it could already be too late (4x 2400 = 9600). If you aren't really lucky or if you don't play 24/7.

I think the best way to be certain about getting all the rewards is to spend gems on the second slot as soon as the event starts and unlock the third and fourth before thinking about anything else. Maths will do the rest for you. :0)
