Thread: New Upcoming Game: Crystal Maidens

The event is only made for "maybe" getting 1 Item(Bow) or 1 Maiden.

With over 4 Days left i think it's possible to get 700 arrows depending on the drop amount. What i've seen is, that on Lv12 the drop is 1-4 (maybe 5 max) so if i get every run ~2 arrows = 350 runs = 2100 Energy (i have 149 arrows atm)

Every day you can get arround 240 energy (without any refill or level ups and sleep time) so with 4 days you will have arround 960 Energy...

I think events like this are only made for ppl forcing to spend some gems, but i can not say anything bad about it, because on the halfway of the event everyone got 500 gems.
I also want to keep this gems, but i think i need to spend them if my arrow dropluck is low.

Yup, this is a joke. Can only get the f***ing bow, no way to collect 750 arrows with a drop rate of 1.5 per run on average...
Bought a resource pack to see if it would be 150 arrows or 150 suchi maybe...NO, it was 5 random resource stacks of ~30...so waste of gems, actually.
The only way to get one of the girls seems to be through refills spam and replaying the goddam lvl hundreds of times...really, really retarded

As others have said, this may be it for this game for me. Spending RL money on a FTP game should be for those who can't no-life it, not required to get anything at all. The number of people who actually do no-life it and get all the main prizes will be vanishingly small, but that option HAS to be there or people will simply walk away. It has to be on the players to decide if they're going to put in the time and effort or if they're going to spend money, not something they can throw up their hands and legitimately blame entirely on the devs. If you give players the option to take absolutely none of the responsibility for their failure to win prizes, they WILL take it. They were already walking a very thin line after delaying the release for so long...for the events, they needed to be Santa Fucking Claus, the Easter Bunny, and post-spirit visit Ebenezer Scrooge combined to make up for it, but it looks like they alienated the players instead.

They better AT LEAST add an auto-resolve option if they want me to replay the stupid level 3 HUNDRED times (literally).

Either we're missing something or they're really trying to kill off the free player base.

Yep. By my calculations it'll take me 6.5 days to get the girl I wantest most. Something just south of that for the other. (assuming, you know, no sleep, no work)

buh-bye.

IMO, spending on an event like this should be if you want the girls *and* the equipment. That's for the perfectionist gotta-get-everything whales. (as is, looks like if you aren't a payer, you can probably get all the equipment, but not a single girls)

(I should point out, none of these girls particularly scream "event girl", so it's quite probable they are all going to be added into the gotcha, so it's not permanently missing them if you don't get one.)

Asuka will most likely get added to the regular pool. Ophelia on the other hand, possibly not since the image says event exclusive, like Naku. Of course they could just be lying.

And probably just a typo but if you go to inventory and look at the description of the event items, you'll notice the arrow has a different event listed than the other valentine event items. Possibly another event for her? This event is only about 1 week while the Xmas one was 2.

Thats just me trying to be optimistic though.

Not sure if I just got lucky, they've changed it, or the rewards slowly increase...

But last 4 times I ran it I got
3 arrows
4 arrows
4 arrows
6 arrows.

(yeah, nothing else to do before leaving for work)

Yep the items are perfectly doable unless you just started playing the game when the event came out but the maidens are pretty much behind paywall unless you got hundreds of gems stored up for use.
This is simply a bad design for events.
When you have a relatively new game and you want to get bunch of new players who might eventually invest some money, you should make events where even completely new players who just started can get something decent. Not something like this where even veteran players have to pay to get the best stuff.

Pocket fantasy does it right. I just started playing it few days ago and they are pretty much giving away various items and "premium currency" for free in small to medium amounts for completing various quests you can do just by playing normally every day or in various events + as a compensation when something goes wrong or something wasnt explained in events properly. On top of that they even got events like blackjack where if you have the patience and use some basic strategy you can find on the internet you can get some pretty good stuff for free if you saved up some of the currency. It is a bit rigged but still perfectly doable.
Also the vips dont have such a huge advantage unless they pay hundreds of dollars every week.

Here it is a complete joke... 400% more xp/coins much higher chance to get good items also enough space for energy that you can actually get some sleep without wasting it for quite a few weeks. The disparity between higher vip and f2p is enormous.

There is a lot of talk about being able to get items or specifically the bow in this event.
Other than by receiving an item randomly at the end of level 12 how would you get any of these items other than by using gems in the Event Gacha?

People seem to be indicating they will be able to get event related items but all I see as a guarantee is building a character assuming you get enough ingredients.
I apologize if I am missing something obvious. I have been playing this game less than a month. When I completed level 12 I received two Epic items and one normal, neither Epic were specific to this event though and I see no other way to get the items now that I have completed all 12 levels.
