Shiho/Solano/Rika/etc. sure strained my resources though.

Welcome to the club. :P

When the rush started, my supply of Rubies and others didn't last long. I think it was around Ada perhaps when the supply was strained to its limits.

Woo.

207? I commend your dedication. I pretty much disappeared when they postponed Odette's event for an eternity. So, my leveling suffered.

Same thing has been happening lately. Lack of new content has led to boredom. Its gotten so bad that instead clicking commence sortie, I actually did IB to see what my team would do to it .

I don't get the big complaint about breaks. Yeah, I like consistent events. DMM has gotten me spoiled on it. But as Lafate put it several pages ago, events make you choose what is more worth your time.

I've played Nutaku's Aigis for a bit over 9 months now, and can safely say that I haven't let much stamina or charisma slip through my fingers the entire time. I don't throw money at them for refreshes, but I'd still say that I've got a lot of play time logged. Even so, I could still use affection items for about 4-6 more girls.

On DMM this problem is simply multiplied exponentially. I've got more girls than I know what to do with there, and have given up any hope of ever maxing affection on the ones that don't fill a niche in my team (let alone leveling them all). So while it's nice that units are raining from the sky on DMM, the actual ability to use the units you get is no more practical there than it is on Nutaku unless you're throwing money at the game haphazardly.

I realize this is a touchy subject (for whatever reason), so this is just my opinion. But I just don't understand why people get so bent out of shape when there isn't always something new going on. I certainly don't run out of things to do even when there is not.

Yeah, Odette break killed my motivation too. I probably could've hit 200 if I had run maps the entire time. Instead, I came up short at 190 by the time autocomplete hit. Bear in mind that it's roughly 35-40k exp to level at that point.

At least, at level 200+, the amount of exp needed to level stays at 40k.

This past year, we've had roughly 25 or so weeks of events (9 farm events, 5 star events, 2 collection events, Gold Rush). The rest has been complete periods of deadness. When the game is like this for over half a year, there's obviously issues.

I'm well aware of the situation at DMM. But people need to learn that there are some units that you just don't pay attention to unless you reach the point that your main team is set. There's a ton of event units that are niche, gimmicky, or useless. You don't have to max them all. I even just said a page back that I still never maxed (or hell, even CC'd) some silvers I don't use. And I'm a casher. You'd think that even without the breaks, I should be drowning in affection items, but I'm not.

And at the risk of sounding like a broken record, the breaks are boring. Right now, I'm just leveling dupes and hoarding affection items. The only plus I get out of breaks is the chance to farm for plat fairies, which is a crapshoot regardless of whether or not we have breaks (case in point, I haven't gotten a single plat fairy in the last ten Phalanx 2 runs).

tl;dr: People *can* benefit from breaks, regardless of how long they've been playing. The issue is us not WANTING to take breaks when the game has them more than actual events.

well, that was my point exactly. even a free player can max out pretty much everything with the free time we have here, why bother to spend any money.
Which leads to the business model of aigis. They clearly are on the different page here. That is why i would rather have my unspent SC back in cash and transferred over the dmm's where i can convert it in affection/lvls for my units there. More girls, more use, more reason to spend. Here, its pretty pointless.
Unless nutaku is catering to the mass-free player-advertisement crowd. They are clearly losing money in the long run, at least compared to dmm. (100+ SC is like the minimum spending for an event over there for many active players. Like how one dude mentioned "my credit card suddenly didn't stopped working on dmm, what can i do, i cant handle waiting for the stam bar)

All I can say is that having very few gacha units helps the affection load.

Before the Gold Rush, my only female gold or higher gacha unit was Fedora. Almost sad that the new gold girls are eating what would have been affection for Pallis and Verotte. At this point, I may have enough even for them.

i suggest you looking at what they have in trading post on dmm, let not mention the platinum or black unit even these silver units trading with gold (i think) are quite good to look forward to
so sorry i mean we should at least get all the update as they have on dmm and more importantly more event is always better

This is true.

I went crazy on premium for the first month or so (hey, I really wanted Lilia), so a lot of girls were pretty starved for affection for a while. Ended up getting at least one of every black in the meantime, and the rest is history, or so you know.

about event of new witch on dmm, i wonder if event witch drop rate will be like automata or each stage only drop once, i've tried many times for 2 and 3 stage but only gotten 2 event witches

Its a farm event. So like all such events, the easier missions have the lowest drop rates. But unlike the Nutaku version, each drop is guaranteed to fall the 1st time when you defeat the appropriate enemy
