Thread: New Upcoming Game: Crystal Maidens

Oh, somebody still cares about this?

Did the game ever come out?

Still VPN only.

this game , accounts will be restarted ? , when it is official nutaku?

my level is 22etc...

I haven't played this in weeks. Where does it say that? Cause that'd be pretty fucking dumb choice considering gacha was already available from the start and I'm sure some people have spent money.

They said in discord that they wont reset

Which means nobody will start playing so far behind the power curve if they ever get their shit together.

I still care and would try it if it ever comes out. -_-

I've been doing the daily pre-reg login the whole time.

Same here ^^

Well, the people worrying about the game having any kind of 'power curve' and being behind - no need to worry, really.. The game as it is right now has no pvp at all(but it plans to get released though, probably with official release)..

The content of the game is lacking right now - 60 stages of normal and hard difficulty, that's it. After you reach hard - you will almost never go back to normal again as well. To beat hard 60 you only need to play for what... less than 2 weeks if you no life it.
Anything beyond that is unnecessary grinding to get better gear/more money for buildings which give good damage boost, but nothing much past it.

Max building level is 10 and although it takes insanely long(9>10 is 14 DAYS to upgrade) - you can buy multibuilding to level up all building simultaneously for an amount of gems worth only a little over 2 legendary gacha rolls(which don't even guarantee the legendary maiden)
So at the very worst, if you are free player - you are only a total of month behind another free player who decided not to buy this multi building. And you might even get them faster than him tbh, since it takes around 8x longer without that, so a total of almost 8 month(game is around for around 3 months now, so it would be around halfway done only)

The game gives you 3(!) free gacha rolls per day with approximately kamihime chances of premium rolls(according to what I got - common is ~90%, rare is like 8-10% and legendary is 1-2%)..
Also there is reward for 14 and 30 days of logging in.. 14 is usually common maiden and 30 is usually rare or legendary.

From the test event we saw that maidens will be relatively easily accessable via events. I can guarantee that even though at first you will feel like you are lacking them - around a month in the game you will almost be done with getting all maidens(the exclusions being 3 legendary maidens, out of which you are also almost guaranteed to have at least 1 with how many gems you get through trophies)...

So just 1 month is about enough to catch up with old players in terms of almost everything aside of a few extra legendary equipment pieces(and even this is pure luck with 1% chance of dropping) which can be even worse than rare counterparts(which are extremely easy to get).

Also IF the PVP gets released - it will be offline pvp at first(and considering the time it takes - for a long time as well), which means 'attacking' side will be in huge advantage due to being able to control the action. Those who play since release will obviously win for the 1st month or so... but there aren't any type of rewards they can give in this game to make others be unable to catch up - all the legendary/rare difference can be minimal when compared to skill at which you play, like dodging skills by drag and holding.

This is certainly not mononofu where you need to play 24/7 since release while spending $$$ each month to be able to do anything competitive.

Also the new players will experience a lot of advantages the old players didn't for even faster progress.

The energy system was doubled - maximum used to be 2 times less than what it is right now... Current end game player takes a little over 10 hours to hit 'energy cap'... it used to be 5-6 hours before.
That means that not only your schedule is much easier to organise unless you no life and it doesn't matter to you, you also get double the amount restored for leveling up(you recharge full energy) - simply leveling up already pushed the early game into a fast tempo before this change, I imagine that after this change it will be a breeze through the normal mode and make grinding to become decently strong for hard also much easier.

A completely free player here, got 13/16 of the current available maidens(missing 1 rare and 2 legendaries).. most of those are from either daily logins or test event + 4 starter maidens... the current month legendary is also the one I got.. so you can consider such results being the near absolute worst luck you can have in the game after about 2 month of playing. Also got enough gems for 5 leg gacha pulls, which I am not doing due to being able to get duplicates, which barely give you anything.(read as - you got duplicate, you pretty much wasted the gems).. the chance for maiden is actually rather decent from leg gacha, like 25-30%, so getting 1 is an easy task, but risking getting 2 or 3 might not be worth it until more maidens get released)

By the time gets released it will be at least twice as easy to get the same stuff old players got, so I wouldn't be too discouraged.
