Thread: Attraction system is trash.

As title says.
Literally spending hundreds of kobans right now to get Val Shao right now, which I couldn't get during the pre-update time either.
240 kobans later, 36 attraction.
I could understand introducing the new mechanics AFTER the event but not on the last day when people are still struggling to get a girl.
Like come on.

Edit - why is it trash? The rates aren't much higher than the ones we had with the girls but for now we have to get 100 of that shit. Average dropping around 3 attraction per 10 combativity. *clap*

Edit #2 - just spent 100 combativity - 24 attraction gained

Final edit - after spending ~400 kobans I'm done, I finally gained 70 attraction that I need for Shao, won't even try bothering getting 2nd girl, will just hurt wallet too much. Thanks devs, I do think that you should re-think your 'update' policy. And next time please don't push an update that works so f'ing bad in the last day of event. Sure we had promo on refilling combativity but I don't think that's enough to make (my and probably others) salt go away.

Yeah, I mean the way it was described in the update made it sound like the odds to get the girls would be roughly the same, but you would also get constant progress at a regular basis. I expected a 50/50 split for money vs attraction points. Every 20 combat you could expect say 10 attraction, but you could also just outright win the girl. Nope! It's also kinda shitty that the system debuted in the final freaking day of the event. Very dissapointed in what I thought would be a nice update.

What? Affection isn't a guaranteed drop? What absolute garbage. The patch notes were massively disingenuous.

The event pachinko is also still a complete waste of kobans.

This is the biggest reason of why this new system may be even worse than the previous one.

In the beginning the shards seemed to be the safety net that the players were looking for, to avoid wasting thousands of kobans for nothing, however the randomness on when the shards drop makes it all utterly crappy. The fact the the number of shards dropped is variable is irrelevant, all things considered.

In addition to the fact that they kept that stupid thing of making 3 out of 5 girls pachinko only, without a constant drop rate of shards after a reasonable number of battles, Kinkoid proved once again that they do not care about the players.

Here is an example of real safety net: shards of event girls drop after every 2 battles against the troll. So, worst case scenario, you have to fight 200 times to get one girl, which is a reasonable number even for free players, who only need to invest more time in the game, or refill.

Put it on 5 girls and you will get them all in no more than 1000 fights. Textbook safety net.

The drop on adventure girls could be after every 4 battles and still being perfectly fine.

I'm playing the gay harem game through the Nutaku site, and WOW. The new attraction system is SO BAD. On average, I get an attraction-shard-thing to drop only once out of every ten fights. Sometimes only 1 or 2 shards are obtained per drop, although sometimes more. So it can take up to 5-10 fights just to get 1 shard. The amount of fights it will take to get the 100 attraction required for a drop is outrageously high, much much higher than the average amount of fights required to get a character to drop through the old system. If the shards were used as a "failsafe" to guarantee that no one does >1000 fights without a drop, then fine, but it definitely feels like they nerfed or removed the base % chance that the person would join your harem regardless of attraction level. If that's the case, I hope they fix things fast. When you only have ~10 days during an event to get a person to join your harem, that's really not enough time to earn 100 shards without spending a ton of money. At least with the higher base drop % there was a decent chance of being able to earn 1 or even 2 of the event characters from the trolls without spending money. This update seems designed to screw over anyone who isn't spending hundreds of dollars on the game. It feels not fun and I hope too many people won't quit the game entirely because of it, but who knows...

After I finished my last rant, I read the patch notes for Harem Heroes, and it sounds like there is a random chance to get all 100 attraction shards to drop at once (analogous to the prior system where there was a low % chance for the character to join your harem each fight). That's good that they didn't remove the base % chance for a character to straight-up join your harem without collecting 100 attraction slowly over time, but still...it feels like the base % chance was nerfed. I'd be happy to be proven wrong. But no one wanted a failsafe system that would require over 1000 combativity to collect the 100 shards needed if it meant nerfing the base % chance for the character to just auto-join your harem.

Yes, the 100 shards drop is a good thing, but you will never know the % of it, sto it still as bad as before.

I just made 15 battles each against Edwarda and Dark Lord and I had 8 shards from Edwarda and 0 from Dark Lord. The new system is far from a safety net; it may be even worse than before.

I don't like how everyone from Harem Heroes/Gay Harem is right now silent. I bet you expected feedback, maybe not negative like this one but still.
I think the problem of shards - their drop rate + amount should be addressed cuz we all feel cucked now.
Especially during events.

In two days, I've pulled a total of 2 shards... and I didn't miss using any energy in that time. I am TERRIFIED of what this means for event girls.

This new system is fucking GARBAGE.

On that note, three times yesterday fighting Karole, I got no reward at all... just a solid black bar across the screen. I wonder if this was a glitch, and I was supposed to get affection for a girl I already have unlocked?
