Thread: The Problem with Harem Hero Events - And A Potential Solution

The game is pretty flawed and a bit barebones compared to other games on Nutaku whose premium Gacha girls actually progresses the game and makes things easier or challenging

Look at Kamihime, Aigis, Flower Knight,

The,re is no incentive to spend real money on this game once you get a handful of girls to provide money to buy equipment and affection and you will be at a higher level to get stamina to progress which is a bit slow

If you want to collect girls for the sake of collection the game for you

Otherwise those who prefer action or another gameplay over click and grind low drops - I got played the game for 6 months and just lost interest

Well... yeah? Harem Heroes sets out to offer a linear, comic-like story. In that regard, it accomplishes its goal. This is not another Kamihime or Flower Knight Girl. It isn't intended to be those games - it is its own experience. Admittedly, Harem Heroes is a simple game in both concept and design. I feel Kinkoid would benefit if they took the time to implement new and requested features such as guilds and an in-game chat. Both of these would generate additional interest and could introduce new, community centered quests and raid bosses which can only be finished with the efforts of multiple players.

And what's your proposed solution? Advertise other games? That doesn't help nor benefit Harem Heroes in any shape or form. It only tells us that Harem Heroes isn't your cup of tea.

Perhaps it gives the free number of Korbans a month.

Most of the active/hardcore players and some of the developers are on the Discord server.

Now this topic's original post does try suggest a way to revamp all aspects of the game into a more unified bigger picture, meaning that it is tinkering with both the "premium" and the "standard".... I think? Wait, no, he specifically said that some girls would continue to be pachinko exclusive (but they'd always be possible drops and they'd just be much more likely to drop from the pachinko during their event than they are outside of it) and the "black market" selection would be limited to the event girls who are NOT designated as pachinko exclusives. So the divide between "premium" content and "standard" content is still there.

You might want to re-read what OP wrote. He suggested bringing back all old event girls and have them be accessible via "event booster and suggested Bunny's mother, an Epic Pachinko exclusive, as an example. OP was trying to find a way to obtain premium content for free.

The part that you read from OP's post was of him suggesting that new Epic Pachinko exclusive girls remain Epic Pachinko exclusive for the initial release and suggested that they have an increased drop rate. Event girls already have an increased drop rate for their events, so the booster suggestion is kind of pointless.

Well, the question you need to ask is: how much players pay now enough to get the 3 girls for each event and how much players would be susceptible to pay for the event girl if the cost would be very low (for example 1event girl = 5$)

If the result is that putting 1 girl for 5$ give a bigger profit than now, so, just do it

People who paid 100$ doesn't have weight in the balance, they didn't get the money back with a lower price. They lost their money forever and prices change, that's all; it's just like people who pays an apple phone 1000$ and 6 month later, the same phone cost 300$. It's unfair, but it's life.
If you really want doing something for them, give them 20 chance to have event girls in the future.

And sorry about my bad english

Sounds like a poorly chosen example for the point that was being described, maybe a misunderstanding (and failure in fact-checking) on their part about how the events so far have been organized. (As you point out, it hasn't been a perfect divide where the troll-dropped girls are always new characters and the pachinko exclusives are always variations. There are exceptions in both cases.) Doesn't change what the idea was about. Just means it was a bad example. He could have instead mentioned either of Bunny's sisters for that example.

But the idea proposed a "black market" shop which would host the "idols" and the troll-dropped girls from all events, and then with enough tokens (aka the "event booster", which is an awkward and misleading name for the type of item that it was described as being (they don't boost anything, they're just currency)) awarded from the 14 event dailies to be able to afford either an "idol" or two troll-dropped girls from this "black market". (Potential would exist to obtain extra tokens as random drops, or you could pay kobans for them.) He misspoke with the assertion of the "new girl" / "variation" divide between what options had been in which place, but the intention was clearly that only the "idols" and the troll-dropped girls would be in this "black market", and the pachinko exclusives would still be pachinko exclusives.

It's probably wishful thinking for the full "black market" selection to drop in price whenever any event is running though. I'd imagine that the current event's girls would be introduced at the cheaper price and then go up to full price after the event and stay there. (Maybe they could get a slight discount offered when their event returns or when a big promo similar to the anniversary deal happens again?)

Anyway, about the pachinko, the idea proposed that the pachinko exclusive event girls would ALWAYS be available in the pachinko but they'd just be much more likely to drop during their event than they'll be outside of the event. Maybe they already have better odds to drop than a non-event girl? (Not in my experience when I've used my saved up free kobans during an event. I've only gotten non-event girls. But it is "higher chance", not "guaranteed".) But the proposal was clearly about the availability, not the drop rate. Currently event girls which are pachinko exclusives become unavailable to find after the event ends, zero chance. I'd think that it ought to be set up so that pachinko drops should be weighted so that "current exclusives > non-event possibilities > previous exclusives".

Hmmm, this wasn't stated in the topic creator's idea but a logical follow-up point about the pachinko would be that the non-exclusives (the troll-dropped girls) would still disappear from pachinko when their event ends (if they would even still be included in it to begin with, maybe they'd just be black market exclusives instead). Only the exclusives would stick around.

I kept saying "troll-dropped" in this post, but I suppose I should have just said kidnapped. The two girls featured in the event's spotlight as having been taken by a troll. Oh well.

I want to ask one thing: does anybody got the event girl not from "1 girl guaranteed" roll?

Hi everyone,

Premium/Packinko only girls are meant for those who want to collect, and have additional scenes. They are not meant to give any player an advantage.

As stated by the devs, event girls are supposed to be "special".

The solution to previous event girls has been an anniversary event. We had one not to long ago.

To the proposed idea, any sort of booster will likely never happen.

As a new player I don't know if this is normal, but, this new school event gives me a task every day, and the one today is already taking almost 7 hours? Will this be +1 hour every day now? That's a bit excessive don't you think? It's only day 5, do I have to wait 14 hours at day 12?

Event missions are anywhere from 5-9 hours.
