Thread: New 5-stars

Not realy ... they should just rework this shitty system. It if fine on first few girls but it get out of hand quickly ... and it is punishing for people that play the game for longer time ... why would they want to punish old-timers that stayed with them from the beginning?

This!! I've got 52 girls and haven't been able to amass any in-game cash since the HH 2.0 launch. Every bit I get goes straight into buying affection items or paying upgrade costs. I've come to fear an event because I know that (a) my cash flow is going to drop to next to nothing since I have to grind low level trolls for event girls and (b) the troll girls, mission girl and epic pachinko girl(s) that I get for an event just mean all that much more grinding for items and upgrade costs. Couple that with the scaling pachinko price and the new "pay to win" contests and you have a game designed to keep you in perpetual poverty.

Technically thou, only things you really need cash in this game are upgrades and affection on girls, so the fact you don't amass cash means that game has worthy cash sinks. Or at least thats one way on looking at this situation.

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.
