Thread: Re-balance Feedbacks

The current prices on things do not feel very good. Items are simultaneously more expensive to purchase while also only selling back for some ten percent of their original cost, which is an enormous cut from before where they sold at fifty percent. The rates of cash generation from some girls has been slashed dramatically (roughly thirty percent less an hour), with only a few of them buffed up in contrast. Experience and affection gain items for girls feel inconsequential in effect (but certainly not in cost) and do not appear to have scaled favourably for the player even with the relatively lower experience requirements for the girls.

The removal of experience gain from boss battles seems a pretty bad oversight, given that they were previously such a large proportion of the player's (or at least my) gain. With such a vastly larger pool of levels to attain, this seems counterintuitive at best -- the story does not provide particularly impressive experience gain itself, and provides what it does at a much slower pace. They also (or at least the first three that I have access to) appear to no longer drop items, which was a good source of cash generation on the side.

There was also a pretty substantial nerf to ego, though I'm not sure where it came in as none of my items have suffered a visible nerf in stats to account for the loss of nearly half my ego pool.

Only level 25 and been playing for a few weeks. Having nearly twice the available battle points is nice, but on the whole the changes to me feel quite a bit worse than they do better.

First of all, I'll start with the in-game Economy, since I think it suffered the most.

One of the biggest issues for me is the sharp drop in the items' value when you try to sell it. I was kind of annoyed with the 'sell-value' at first, when it was 50%. But reducing it to something lesser than 20% is just insane. With an inventory containing countless items(equipment), do you image what kind of a loss I experienced? At the same time, the equipment pieces are even more expensive than they were before. As for this new change about not looting items from these, "Trolls", I guess, I think I'm okay with that, considering the heavily modified value of an item.

The other big issue, is the requirements needed for an "upgrade" of a girl. I mean, okay, it is a 4th and 5th affection scene, but don't you think that the 6-digit number, you want for an upgrade from 4 to 5 stars, is a bit much. It literally needs less than a half of a hundred thousand bucks to become a 7-digit number. I also noticed something, and here is Question #1: Why are the Affection values for the same affection scene(in order) different for different girls and also why did I give a certain amount of Affection for a 4-star Scene, and need to give about 20% higher than this certain amount, in order to get a 2-star Affection scene? I literally dropped from 24.6 Million to under 20 Million money in ONE day. Sorry, but I'm not sure if you allow me to use the accurate examples(related to non-private information), so I'll go with that.

Even if it doesn't affect me, I'm still going to ask you a Question #2: What was you motive to raise the "Re-stock" option's price?

Since you want feedbacks, I'm going to share with you, that I'm very displeased with the fact the my ~235k Exp, turned to a value, that's only enough to start from the begging of level 40. Also, I appreciate the change of (+4) Strength at level 40, thanks for that.

On the other hand, I want to express my gratitude, for rewarding me 25 Kobans for finishing today's missions. If you keep that up(which I'm sure you won't) the "present" for finishing all missions could serve as a counterweight, to everything else since that's just massive.

In conclusion, I think the new update was kind of a let down, but I still like it, well, kind of, because I got to see Bunny shine once again, and can't wait to see Juliette. Still, I won't stop the game just yet, to be honest, the first time I played this was exactly on the 1st day of you first Halloween Event, and I've been playing since. But you doing very good, at least in my eyes, since most other games would've lost me by now. Now that's I remember my past with this game, I remembered that one time, after midnight, when I forgot to click on the button to start the 14th event mission(my last chance for...Cupid-chan?, because, you know, life kept me busy for the first 2 days) and lost the event girl. And I was feeling like a retard the next day. K, the last one was needn't but still, keep up the good work!

At least you got you kobans for finishing missions. I have done them early in the morning before update so no kobans for me.
