Yup. I'm already at this point. I've given up hope completely on the Devs, and just log in when bored to collect scraps and peace out. The reward is severely lacking compared to the investment needed now. It's a shame, they could have done so many great and fun things with this game, but instead they ruined it.

Hello, dear all.

Thank you for this topic.

Officially, we can say that, yes, we are reading all you say and we are working on it.
The prices of the new 5 stars were carefully calculated, though. Do you remember that on our previous 5-star releases most of you already had the 5-star, without even doing something for it? We, first wanted to prevent this and then.. Continue designing Harem Heroes in the best way. For the 5-star scenes we recruit additional artists and do tons of work... It's a lot and we want to continue doing it, but also we want to tease you and make you work in order to get them!

I don't want to say it all out, but, I will let you know that our Game Design is now working on a feature that will totally give you more chances to earn cash in the game. It's in discussion and production.
I will give you more details with time.

Best,
Jessie

Sorry but your post Jessie is border-lining into bullshit territory.

Nobody had 5 stars without any work, we still needed to pay upgrade costs, and not everyone has shit tone of money stored to do so, and even if they did? they worked for that money before 4/5 stars release.

How can you say you carefully calculated prices for 5 stars, where the price is connected to girls position in harems and varies for all people? Do you really want us to believe its fair for people who were kinda unlucky and got Abra as her 40th harem girl, where some have her at 10?

Also telling us that making 2 affection upgrade scenes and 2 avatars (aka 4 images) is "tons of work", I am genuinely worried for the future of this game, seeing how harem girls their scenes and story relies on images a lot and even with additional artists pace is slow as a snail .

The issue with low harem position girls being to easy to upgrade was that you experimented with allowing us to keep pre2.0 update affection points on girls, which for 3 stars was around 15k which is enough for low harem girls to be ready for 4/5 stars upgrades, and helps quite a bit with high harem position girls.

The simplest solution to this mess and keep the so called carefully calculated prices, is to use a 4/5 star release order as multiplier for 4/5 stars instead of the harem position. With that the cost and affection required is fair for all people, cause it doesn't matter when they got the girls, and also you can remove that overflow from pre2.0 because if the price will go steadily up, you don't need helping with the more costly girl, and not helping with less costly girl. Heck you could actually do a bit of re-thinking and maybe actually really carefully set the prices knowing that everyone would have the same multiplier and that the cost with each 4/5 stars released would steadily go up with release ordered multiplier instead of random harem position one we have now?

Just few thoughts of mine, maybe a bit rage induced.

''We made 5 star extremely expensive to give players a sense of pride and accomplishment''

Well I love to see thet I started this thread just to ask if we just get two new 5-stars and it turned out into full lynch
But yeah I hate the cost of 5-stars too ... Abrael is my 20th girl and need 35k affection ... but I can live with that ... but I fear what other girls will cost later. BUT! I am willing to wait for that update Jassie mentioned. The problem with affection items was corrected just fine and it didnt take "that" long (but now we have problem with money so...). And that's why I will wait before joining on the fun with torch in hand.

PS: that about calculating sound little forced and I dont like argument about overflow since it will not be on all girls and more importantly it will be useless for new players

besides nothing you calculated was remotely close to careful. I already made some posts about how atrocious the price scaling is as it takes literally YEARS to only get the money back you spend for affection and upgrade costs for the very first 5 star girls let alone later ones - even for 3 stars it takes months to get even. How is that carefully calculated?

when HH 2.0 was introduced and the huge outcry regarding the shitty affection system happened you stated that you are carefully watching whats happening as you dont want to rush into changes that might turn out bad due to a lack of time where your data was collected. it has been months and personally the amout of missing upgrades only got worse and worse with the introduction of more and more 5 star girls.

and I am pretty sure that I am one of the most active people in the game given that my level is ~150 - if you exclude whales only a very few people are actually above me in level and had massive amout of affection items stocked up before HH 2.0 was released
for people who clear their haram cash less frequent it can only be worse

I haven't logged in in days - why - no new story content I assume and the cost (time) > reward ration is so terrible now there is no incentive to play, let alone pay

2.0 has killed my interest in the game dead. Before that if had a monthly or so 100 gold for an epic roll....I'd have taken it - not big money but I'd support a game I enjoyed, now no

Girls are not intented to be profitable. The main benefits to upgrade them is to unlock their new poses and scenes (and, eventually, to raise their stats).

I have a big enough number of girls, the small stock of affection items I had before rebalance is gone long ago, and yet I manage to up one girl from 0 to 3 in just 3 or 4 days. Oh, and I play a total of around 15 to 20 minutes per day.
There must be something wrong with your strategy? Maybe because you focus on 5 stars instead of finishing first to raise your girls to 3 stars?
The current game economy can hardly accomodate for the price of 4 and 5 stars, but does pretty well for up to 3 stars.
Additional features are in preparation to bring more cash to the game for 4 and 5 stars. For now, I suggest you just focus on 3rd stars. It's perfectly doable.
