Thread: Please cap the Affection upgrade costs!

Alright, I've been playing for a while. I've got 68 girls. Before the revamp, I had about $25m in spare cash, and a couple hundred of each kind of affection item.

Now, between upgrading Bunny and Juliette to Affection 5, picking up Liu Yeng from a 10x roll Pachinko, picking up the school event girls, glitching and getting all three of Finalmecia's Haremettes in three battles, then the Dark Pleasures Event and those girls, and going up to Affection 5 on Red Battler and Ankyo, I'm finally broke and twiddling my thumbs waiting to have enough cash to buy affection items.

I'm cool with all of this. Except for the upgrade price for Ankyo. Friggin $12.6m or 650 kobans. Goddamn, man. This is getting absurd! I'm going to be grinding for a couple weeks just to get her to Affection 5.

Yeah i agree, i can tolerate the prices for upgrading to 1-3 star. But 4 and 5 star rank are ridiculously expensive. both in affection cost and the extra upgrade cost.

At least with Red Battler and Ankyo they gave us the level 4 and 5 upgrades affection for free. I don't have a problem with the affection amounts, but I do agree that the upgrade costs themselves are much too high.

Upgrade cost should depend on the order you obtained the girls in, but it seems to be bugged. Your Ankyo appears to be your #13 girl, which is obviously impossible since she's supposed to be around 5th. For me she is 9th, after several girls including Fairy (!), and costs 8.7M to upgrade. Since upgrade price so drastically depends on the order, maybe they should look into fixing it before releasing more affection scenes? Or you will have to pay 60 million if the next girl somehow ends up being near the end of your list.

Here's the table, btw: http://harem-battle.club/wiki/Harem-Heroes/HH:Harem (under "Costs from your first haremette to your 75th")

I got both red battler affections for free (not including the upgrade cost) btw, but for Ankyo I only got 4 stars for some reason.

I won't lie. I assumed about Ankyo's 5th star (despite what the old adage says about assuming). I'm still grinding to afford the 4 star price.

Oh then let me know once you get here ... realy want to know if it is only me

15k? Does it go up based on level? Mine is only 8747

It depends on what position in your harem she has. If she is 10th she will require/cost 10 times more than Bunny first girls in everyones harem is. If she is 20th then she will cost 20 times more.

My Ankyo is 13th in the list, I need nearly 20k affection points to get her to 5th star, and out of total needed she indeed has around 15k done (which is what was needed pre-2.0 to get any girl to 3 stars).

If you ask me, the fact that Ankyo a girl you get like early in the game, has different positions in out harems cause some other girls were placed who knows why before her, which also makes it so that she actually cost far more for people who were more active and got more girls before they added 4/5 stars is kinda bullshit.

I know what you mean, since i had a whole stash of cash, and i dont even have as much girls as you.

The thing is, we knew this was a cash grab game. What did you expect them to do?

What if they made the cost of the upgrades lower? Then the girls would generate a lower amount (which makes them useless)
What if they give bigger affection items? Then it would cost more (which means less affection per coin)

If you actually calculate the cost of a gift item to how much it gives, the cheaper items have a better gain (i didnt check recently)

Heres a thought: Calculate (from the wiki) which of your newer girls gain the most at level 3, and concentrate on them. Ankyo, although she is one of my favs, can wait. Figure out which situation gets your income to go up faster. Check back every hour or so. I know 12 mill is gonna take a while, but in a day i can make 78k per each 2 hours. That is about 936k per day. I obviously cannot be that diligent everyday, but i also have a bunch of level ones. Im sure your gonna be able to make it in a month.
