Without imagination kicked in, those harem girls avatars just look like your typical lame 2D females hehe.
Only reason why I did upgrade affection stars, was cause in nearly every girl it made the cash collecting timer longer, making handling Harem cash gathering easier. But you got quite more cash/h too and it was worth it. Now I am nearly sure its not.
I got Kalisa and one of event girls since the update came. Lets do a bit of math here:
- Kaslisa is 60th girl in my harem, Teacher event girl is 61. Both start with 800 cash/h.
- 1st star costs 189k and 192k, require 900/915 affection points which cost 375k/382k, totaling at 564k/574k.
- 1st star adds additional 100 cash/h - which means 5643/5737 hours and 235/239 days if playing 24h/day to get even.
- 2nd star costs 405k and 412k, require 3000/3050 affection points more which cost 1M251/1M272, totaling at 1M656/1M684.
- 2nd star adds additional 150 cash/h - which means 11k/11.2k hours and 460/468 days if playing 24h/day to get even.
- 3rd star costs 1080k and 1098k, require 9000/9150 affection points more which cost 3M753/3M816, totaling up at 4M833/4M914.
- 3rd star adds additional 220 cash/h - which means 22k/22k3 hours and 915/930 days if playing 24h/day to get even.
- All 3 * at once total at 7M053/7M172 , add 470 cash/h - which means 15k/15k3 hours and 625/636 days if playing 24/h to get even.
Above days numbers can be doubled or tripled cause most people wont play more than 12 or 8 hours a day.
Of course one could maybe go about this a bit differently. Assuming one collect money only once per while - lets say every time when all cash is ready to collect. That will make you collect once per 3 hours (longest timer is 180 minutes), and mean that every girl cash per 3/h will be what you can collect, and thus cash/h would be 1/3 of what you can collect. If going by that then:
- Kalisa and Teacher Deitra would have 120/160 cash per each 3 hours on 0 stars, or 40/53.3 cash/h.
- They would jump to 285 and 405 cash/3h on 1 star, or 95/135 cash/h, which is 55/81.7 more cash/h.
- They would jump to 648 and 945 cash/3h on 2 stars, or 216/315 cash/h, which is 121/180 more cash/h than 1 stars or 176/261.7 than 0.
- They would jump to 1249 and 1292 cash/3h on 3 stars, or 416.3/430.7 cash/h, which is 200.3/115.7 more cash/h than 2 stars or 376.3/377.3 than 0.
We can compare the above way of looking on affection stuff to the normal way calculated before and get some thoughts. Just upgrading to 1 star would be more costly in the alternative way. It would actually be also more costly if one gone directly to 3rd star. Thou on 2nd star one girl would actually cost a bit less (nearly 262 cash/h gain compared to 250 in normal way).
Someone in earlier comments said that new affection system is OK cause we get more cash/h with each girl, so making affection more expensive is OK. Lets think about it for a moment:
- Each new girl rises multipliers by 1, which means she requires 15/65/215 more affection points to get to 1/2/3 stars than the previous one.
- That means cost of affection points goes up by 6k26/27k1/89k66 for each new girl (with 417 cash per point value).
- Upgrades themselves will also cost 3k15/6k75/18k more. This totals 9k4/33k86/119k27 more cash to get to 1/2/3 stars.
- Each new girl has 800 cash/h on 0 stars and gains 100/250/470 more cash/h on 1/2/3 stars.
- So upgrading each new girl to 3 stars cost nearly 120k more cash, while that new girl adds 1270 cash/h to your harem total cash/h.
- This sums up at 93.9 hours or 3.913 days if one plays 24h/day or 11.74 days if one plays 8h/day.
So in summary the risen cost of upgrading new girl to 3rd star, requires nearly 12 days on 8h/day schedule to get even, on that cost increase alone. This basically means that each new girl takes those 94 hours more to upgrade than the previous one, and that it doesn't even consider how long it takes to upgrade/get even on base values.
