This game is getting worse and not better

[zelldeb]

I started playing Harem Heroes in March of last year. In one Nutaku survey I even rated it as my favorite game on their site. This is however quickly becoming not the case any longer. I am even seriously considering stopping playing this game because of recent updates making it worse.

With each successive update recently the game is harder to play, the rewards are less and the cost of new items is higher. It seems to me that if you want to keep existing players and continue to acquire new ones you wouldn't want to make the game more difficult and slower moving. I personally was originally attracted to this game over most of the others on Nutaku's site because of its simplicity. It I want complicated puzzles and difficult combat scenarios I will play a traditional game. If I'm playing a hentai game I want to do as little work as possible to be able to see titties and that is pretty much all.

In my search for this forum, or any other reference to Harem Heroes off of the Nutaku web site, which I should mention wasn't entirely easy to find, I discovered an article written in September of 2017 which stated that Nutaku had said "All affiliates were asked to stop promoting the game. This game is still playable on Nutaku’s website."

Many of the things the author of this article said he didn't like about this game I disagree with, I mainly bring it up because that is about the time updates began to appear much more frequently than I had seen them before.

In my opinion except for the new profile where you can display your favorite girls, which I quite like actually, every other recent update has made this game worse and not better. I don't know if the developers of this game think that by making it more difficult and slower to play it will attract players away from Nutaku's other games, but I do know it will make existing players leave if they keep at the path we are currently on.

I'm sure there are both those who will agree as well as those who will disagree with my sentiments. But as someone who likes the game and would hate to see it swept into the ashes of past games I thought I would add my 2 gold pieces.

thanks

i thought being able to change MC's specialty is something people have been asking for?
personally I like the game but I just started playing not too long ago, so I don't know how good the game was before.
I thought this game's progression was always slow but maybe there was a time it wasn't

I don't like how Devs decreased the number of tries for fighting bosses for the girls and decreased income that arrived with the change.
but ability to change specialty is something we should give the dev's credit for doing what the community have been asking for.

Well I am not that much happy about new income from bosses. But it should give you the same or even more money when you max them (which should be in two or three weeks which isnt that much in a long run). What I want to see is how it will work with new boss. But its not all that bad. They didnt decrease the number of tries that much since now you need only 1 energy and not 2 like before and the longer timing give you a chance to get some sleep and still not waste any (and they rised the chance to get girls so you can get them with the same chance as before). And dont forget that this is only first (we did get patchnotes for second) patch from 4 that are planned (one big change that was separeted in 4 smaller patches) so lets wait so we can see how it look like when its all done. Other thing that I am not happy about is green affection items in shop but that should be fixed by second patch soon. But nothing that crazy that would make me stop playing the game for now. We got better affection items in shop, now we get better XP items too. Giving XP to girls that you dont use in battles now have some small meaning too. Affection costs for 4th and 5th stars got a cap too so it will not get too much crazy (well 35k affection to get Samana from 4th to 5th star IS crazy but you can do it if you try ... I am in the middle and going strong). Oh and now we can drop some nice items from missions and gifts from PvP so that helps too.

Every change seems to push the game into the wrong direction, they give us 5 stars but make them far too expensive, maybe they hoped for higher koban sales that way?

They reduced our income with the last change, don't know if it will even out after a while, but for now, it's terrible.

I can't get anywhere in that TOF, since I don't get much mojo now. That technically doesn't matter, but it's still a bit of a downer.

Same. I'm lvl 182 and still stuck in the 14k ranks because I ignored it until the recent patch. Half the wins don't even give mojo and even when you get it it feels like you barely move. I know it's still new but the other rewards and money is so little it just makes it all feel kinda meaningless to keep the game open on a tab just to check here and there through the day.

for me pvp was always a huge source of XP, now they shafted XP gains by over 50% and made it unreliable aswell - trolls only gave money and money gave you.. well more money, so I always found the value of arena for XP much better as levels gave you actual stats and excess to better items

[Tyruss]

You know that you can still fight more by using tower right? And if you fight higher oponents it should give you more mojo (not sure if it works like that or is just planned for this series of patches)

you could always use your energy to fight in the tower for max mojo - but there literally is no point to it, because you decrease your 'energy-income' to literally 0 and dont get any items or XP either - it is equivalent to tell a 'pve' player to grind dark lord and level him up

[sniddy]

I'm happy with the 20 energy 1 per fight thing that works better for me a 2x log in a day kinda player

But the cost to upgrade and the stupid nickle and dimeing of 2 kobans to auto collect that irks me, that's a make task and thats BS

[Tyruss]

Well I dont mind 2 kobans for collect all since I pay for monthly card (and you have to work or pay them something ... they need to make some money on this too and this is better then if they locked all girls behind paywall like lot of other games) but the cost/income is big problem for me too. I can upgrade my girls but the time it takes is so long and boring that it makes me crazy
