Thread: New 5-stars

Unless somethings done on affection soon I'm likely to throw the towel in I'm on maintenance only right now, log in do some fights a mission or 2 - hoping - probably give it till end of month then walk

Not true ... now you need cash for affectin, lvl-up girls, maybe pachinko (some people may want purple gear), personal upgrade (they are working on some big pvp change so it may be useful) AND lot of contests which now need you to donate money. And I am fine with spending few days on one girl to get her to 3 stars ... thats fine but 5 stars are too much

Umm. OK

- I mentioned affection as a main source of cash sink, cause upgrading affection to unlock scenes is kinda the thing you are supposed to pursue in this game.
- Leveling up girls is useless - at least part 3 ones you have in your team - so this kinda doesn't count.
- Normal Pachinko is kinda useless - at least till the big PvP/battle machnics change - stats aren't really important either for story, neither for affection upgrading (which are two main things of this game - everything else is a side-track stuff), and they never will be as said by Devs.
- I mentioned personal upgrades - but that was actually kinda a mistake on my part, cause like I just said above stats aren't really important yet, so technically you could cut that out from a worthy cash sink list.
- You can't really use contenst as a money sink thing, they are not important either for story nor affection upgrades, they are basically a small e-penis competitions to force people into doing things they probably wouldn't do just to win. The only use for contests is changing cash into kobans, but with how much cash affection/story requires and with how much kobans we get daily I would question its usefulness especially now after the change that made rewards level dependent.

What I am trying to say is that, there are two things in this game you really need to pay attention to - story and affection scenes/avatars. Everything else is a side-tracking busy-work for min-maxers or no-lifers, or simply for people who just get sucked by single game and want to have as much to do as possible.

Sure 4/5 stars are expensive as fuck, and girls on higher positions take up days counting in tens, but if upgrading them was easy and cheap, you would basically have nothing to do and you would amass cash like pre2.0 update. Really the only issue with 4/5 stars I have is that they release them all over the place, and cause people have girls on different positions cause they farm trolls in different order and get (un)lucky the cost to upgrade can vary a damn lot between people, plus feel unfair. All they need to do is replace harem position multiplier with a release order one, and then every next 4/5 would cost a bit more than previous one, but cause you managed to upgrade previous ones and leveled up a bit in the mean time, you would have higher cash/h and stuff should work. But that doesn't work when one girl is position 5 and one is 30+ and it takes weeks for the 30+ one that feels like a chore/punishment.

Well, at least thats what I think.

I don't really bother with 4 and 5 stars. I am still working on getting them all to 3 stars. Costs of affection is too high compared to possible income.

But that is only one of many problems in the game. Another is the lack of something to use energy on while waiting for the next part in the questline, losing out on a lot of points for contests that way, and absolutely nothing to use their "big" Black Friday discount for, which in turn means no koban sale for them! Pretty bad step when you want to sell something!

It is a nice game, but veterans are being punished when max energy just sits there.

Contests are important ... you can get kobans from them ... but yeah most of the stuff is pointless now that is true

Ok, I really tried to save money and stuff, but Abraels 5 star is really killing me, she is only Nr. 11 on my list, and it's still 13k affection and hell know how much five stars will cost in the end.

Bad devs, really bad, get into your corner and think about what you have done

You can go to HH wiki and check how expensive it will be, theres a list in harem tab with affection required and cost of upgrades themselves for all 5 stars for multipliers (thus harem position) up to 75 IIRC.

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.
