Dude, you can't be serious. You want to bring negativity because some people bring positivity? That sounds so... sick?! O_o

That's a very personal interpretation here. Can we stick to statements and facts instead of twisted interpretation? They said they care for both casual ("core") and more dedicated players. That's enough for me. Or you think they are lying?

hmm... as far as i know, the 2.0 changes are not especially necessary for the PvP update but for new features that will come later on. They have some interesting ideas for the harem, among other things...

You can get probably at most 120k cash/h if you work on your harem collecting. You can't even do 15k cash/h from event trolls. You would need to play like 16+ hours a day to be able to level one girl to 3* in less than 3 days. I wont say its impossible, but for most people thou that time will be far, far longer.

You possibly have some limitations i'm not aware of that make you unable to play whenever you want, but in my case, I have 75 girls and make around 1,9 M per day without playing more than 20 minutes (i think i mentionned 1,5M somewhere else, but in meantime, i double checked my numbers). That's quite far from the 16+ hours a day you mention.

No. You over-interpret the situation. I want people to see the whole picture not only the sugar-coated bubbly positive one.

Them saying they care for all is enough for you. Not for me. Lets end this kinda off-topic thing at that.

Kaos actually himself used PvP as example of why the 2.0 changes were necessary. Supposedly before 2.0 the only way they could incentivize people to play PvP would be to add girl drops to it, and now they can do other things (like this update affection items). I personally don't talk/read discord or blog nearly at all, so I don't know any of their ideas. Will discus them when they hit live - so we will see?

The only way I can imagine you making 1M9 a day in 20 minutes a day is if you calculate exact time when you actually have game opened. Thats not what we talk here about. If we say you need 12h a day of collecting harem, we mean you need 12h worth of time of waiting for CDs to recollect. It doesn't matter for this conversation if it takes you only actually 20 minutes of clicking things a day. Also baby-sitting harem means you click when ever a girl is ready to collect, thats far far more than 20 minutes a day.

Anyway with 1M9 a day you still need 4+ days to upgrade the example girl which is more than <3 days mentioned, so what I said stays true ;].

Personally I probably don't get much less than you per day. And 2 days of <1M9 cash gain per day, is up to 9k1 affection points, which is not enough to take 70th girl from 2* to 3*, so I didn't lie here either.

So no clue why are you so confused by what I said hehe.

I did some number crunching (the old fashioned way) earlier today. Unless I made a mistake or forgot some important aspect of the game, the numbers seem to match up, in the sense that the time it takes to earn the cash needed to level up a girl (This includes both affection point cost and the upgrade cost) from 0 stars to 3 stars stay more or less the same no matter how many haramettes you have.

(Disclaimer: I didn't use the exact values of earnings but a single rounded up figure for all the girls, ignored the income from trolls/pvp, and I assumed that the formulae for affection point calulation haven't changed after the new patch.)


And also yes, with the 8 hour refresh time and the new legendary items, you can get the gifts you need faster than before. For example, if you need 15k affection points (which means you have more than enough girls in the harem to get the legendary items) and you just want to use legendary panties, you need just 10 of them. Even if only of them shows up with each refresh, you can get 10 in 80 hours. Before the patch the best item was the green panties with gave 100 points each, so you needed 150 of those. And even if all 8 slots in the shop we green panties (which never happens) you'd still have to have gone through 19 refreshes to gather all of them, and with the 12 hour refresh rate it would have taken roughly 10 days.


However, some things you need to keep in mind:

1. You won't feel like you're saving up any money because you'll be using up all you earn on getting the haramettes to 3 stars.
2. If you don't really need them, you should try to fight the urge to buy everything in the shop every time it refreshes.
3. The only time you'll be able to save some cash is when you're done raising the affection levels.
4. The number of affection points a girl needs to raise the affection level seems to be dependent on the number assigned to her in the harem, not by the total number of girls you have in the harem. (Or it depends on the number of 3 star girls already in the harem. <- Someone needs to check this.)

I was thinking for withdrawing my earlier suggestion to have the incomes increased by a percentage that goes up with the number of haramettes you have, but then I remembered the cash we have to spend on increasing our stats. With 150 stat points to add per level gained, it soon becomes quite expensive to max them. And we gain at least 1 level a day just by completing the daily missions. Yes, there's no use in maxing them out at the moment, but still sooner or later there will be some change to the game and we will have to max them out. Some extra cash would come in handy at that point.
