@Paraphin:

Wed was Yellow n Purple Manyu so lvl up Zephy fast; luckily, I had bloom dragons in store
Gacha event isn't as bad as past Gachas

The highest I had to roll was 4, I somehow got most rounds in only 1-2 rolls. Kinda regret it though, since I should have way more points than needed anyway. Should've at least cleared the 6th round for gold manyus.

I still don't get how you guys get more than 2 runs of bonus map. I recorded my run and it takes 10 seconds between starting the event and when the run actually begins, and then ~13 seconds between finishing the map and being able to start the next run. I don't have the fastest group out there (one 700 speed squad, plus the helper), but I don't see it shaving more than ~5 seconds off the clock, and I'm only getting 15 seconds left when I start the second run.

Can someone record a 3x run pls?

Depends also on loading times. It is now sitting on the loading screen for 7-10 seconds before a mission loads, so with my 850 speed squad, I am going to struggle to do two runs :/

Not sure it is the new skin or just a bad connection from the bad weather - I am on cable and when it rains heavily, the pit outside gets flooded and mud gets onto the patched cable.

Edit: OMG, just took 37 seconds to load the 10 Stamina map.... if this continues, I won't be able to complete the event

If you have not done this yet then it's worth a try: Run the game on 'low' settings. Right click on the game and go Quality then select 'low' instead of 'high' you will find a significant increase in the speed of loading times while the graphics are only slightly less.

It really just comes down to your connection, everything else is secondary. The load times for me are awful, with > 10s to just load the map there's really nothing you can do anymore, even if the fight wasn't there at all. They should just give everyone either 2 or 3 runs at the map and be done with it. Especially with a spotty connection like mine I sometimes get an error when finishing the map that just says "An error has occurred. The page will be reloaded." and I have to log back in again, wait for everything to load, select the stage, fumble to get the right squad, wait an extra long time for loading again, and if I'm really lucky I can actually do the stage twice. Just an overall shitty event design.

The 37 seconds today was on low settings already. It wasn't like this before the update, and I am not sure if it is the new skins or the recent heavy rain flooding the cable pit. I did another map today and it was worse than 37 seconds :/

Guys you are stressing to much over this....
Come phase Two, there should be a version of the 0 stam map that uses double the amount but also give double the amount, no point in running it on, 100 times when you can run it later at half the time for the same yield.
*Also, and this is important* DONT stress yourself to much of running the special map just twice per spawn. Its plenty enough, trust me.
As I said before, in the last Gacha event I ran those maps twice per spawn as standard, and I cleared the whole thing with ease, skipping only 70% on step 5, all the others were full clears. And that one was the most expensive up to date.
So dont stress yourself to much over it, unless you run other stuff like Dragons, Manyus, or the re-issue, you should be able to clear the event easily, even more so if you skip on the step once you get the blooms.

With the current event cleared and Gentian's re-issue wrapped up, I guess I'll head off to farm for Moonvine and Manyu this weekend while I wait for the next phase of the Event.

Really enjoying my second Gacha event so far.

Well assuming you don't run Ultimate maps like I do, cause I rather run Advanced for better exp/stamina. You will get 1 cherry per 10 stamina used. Doing Advanced you will also get around 225 dolls per run. You need 5 runs, to get even 20 cherries, and with that get 1125 dolls. 20 cherries are 2 spawns of 0-stamina bonus stage with lets say 2 runs each. Thats 4x345 = 1380 dolls.

Thus per 200 stamina (5 advanced runs) you gain an average total of 2505 dolls. To fully clear both event phases you need 84K dolls. With a bit of rounding up we end up with a total of 6720 stamina needed to fully clear all resets of gacha. With "safe" 12 days to spare on event thats 560 stamina a day. There is 480 stamina passively regenerated each day and at minimum 9 gathers done for sake of dailies with average of 15 stamina per gather which is 135 more stamina a day - total 615 a day.

In conclusion even on safe calculations we actually have over 40 stamina a day to spare on other than event stuff and will still be able to fully clear each reset. Which means that if you skip on some stuff and get lucky on spinning out reset-enabling things fast, you can easily farm some Manyus/Dragons or reissue.

Now the question is, is it worth doing reissues to get doubles of girls you already have, or maybe just get blooms as a character specific Manyus, or ignore them completely to use time/stamina/resources on other girls I already have (20 un-evolved gold girls).

It's not. It's enough. It's not plenty. Yes, clearing is easy - if you do fuck all else during that time. But I have many manyus, dragons and coins to farm, in addition to the new reissued maps to clear. Tl;dr I got shit to do and the event should supplement the game, not get in the way. What's the point of getting new girls each event if you can't get the necessary resources to level them?

And my main problem with the event is not that I can't clear it, in the first place. That's a waste of stamina most of the time and only worth it situationally in the later stages of the gacha. My problem is that people with a better connection have it easier, i.e. the event is not fair. Some people can get triple runs regularly, meanwhile I'm lucky if I can get two. Assuming they can get triple runs half the time (some people reported they can do it always, barring some mistake), that already gives them 690 extra dolls per 80 stamina. So far my average is 1.8 runs per stage, or 497 extra dolls per 80 stamina. That's a difference of ~1.350 dolls daily, assuming seven 80 stamina runs. Or 16.2k dolls in 12 days, i.e. 1.6 full gacha clears they got for free just because of a better connection. For the record, if someone really clears it thrice on every run that would give them almost three full gachas extra over people who only clear it twice. Or put another way, they would have 2.2k extra stamina that they could use on other things. And that's why I'm annoyed. With the game's max stamina of 395 that would be worth 5.7 extra flower gems to refill stamina. Whichever way you look at it, it's bullshit.

Fortunately there are occasionally sane events in between garbage like this which give me room to breathe, so none of that is as important, it just gives me more reason to dislike Nutaku/DMM/whoever is responsible.

People complaining because things aren't "fair" enough for them. People complaining because the event's too "hard" for them.
People complaining because they have shitty internet connections. People complaining because they want to invest less effort into something like clearing a gacha but want all the rewards. People complaining because an event designed to be a fun change of pace from regular game flow doesn't suit their specific wants.

Seeing a lot of complaints that are all just spoiled nonsense. Honestly if people don't like the event they should just not run it.
Don't like gacha events? Don't find it fair that you can't do the bonus level more than once, even though the event is designed to be fully cleared only being able to do the bonus map once anyway? Just do the re-issue in 6 months when there is no fun mechanics involved, and if that's too hard because of a time limit, do it when the Perma-Reissue comes out. Honestly wondering why we can't have a nice forum without this spoiled, "I'm OWED everything" attitude.
