Thread: New Upcoming Game: Crystal Maidens

Feels like the last mission between sections will be an escort boat mission between islands.

Hopefully the last one is just a boss battle though.

These missions do illustrate the annoying thing about the AI, it's pretty clear the ranged AI goes something like:

if not attacking and enemy in attack range -> stop moving and start attacking enemy
else if enemy in aggro range -> queue up move to position of enemy in range

So, we end up with our ranged guys frequently running to stand on the enemies corpse, thus putting them out of position for other mobs, as there's a very good chance even 1 on 1 that the enemy will die after a "move to position" has been queued, as the AI updates faster than attack speed. (My assumption is the reason it queues up the "move to position" is so it's more responsive when an attack finishes because the enemy is no longer in range/dead. it immediately starts the queued move.)

So the "secret" to low-maintenance escort missions seems to be (other than use ranged characters):
1. Try to position so only a single enemy spawn is within aggro range of each girl, and be as close to it as possible.
2. Higher attack speed girls should be the ones that either cover two spawns and/or have to be positioned farther from a spawn in order to avoid being in aggro range of one she isn't supposed to cover. This feels like it reduces the odds of a "move" getting queue up. (still not perfect though.)

(Note: It would be fairly trivial to "fix" the AI. Adding a simple "else stop moving" at the end would do wonders, but my assumption is the AI was never redesigned for non "run to right" missions, so the else is "run to right", which in escort missions is simply a no-op, so the gal continues on running to the corpse)

Today, while converting event stuff, it seems that odds were 100% now instead of normal failure/success expectation. A bug or intentional?

Finally quitted from the game, deleting all my items (i couldnt delete maidens)
Well, it was a long and very 'tedious' run, not gonna miss the game especially this horrible grind which was also the reason why i left from kamihime.

Well at least kamihime was giving you elixirs and making you choose the time you want to grind for the event unlike this crap. In cm you either need to grind 24/7 times a week or you aint getting no shit... Like i keep saying these devs never learn and never listen to any feedbacks but thats it for me, i was actually gonna quit long time ago but thought they 'might' listen to us and improve the game.

Finally made it to Camp.2 lvl 60 Boss, but... cant beat it, as expected. Anyone there? Any tips? Everything seems so ridiculously OP at that lvl

The only idea i came with was to lure boss and fight him at left side without bothering to go past the archers. The question is, is it even possible to out-dps the healers and kill the boss in time. Also, unlike lvl 60 easy, he is hitting for like 800k a hit which isnt helping at all. Trying to heal doesnt seem viable at all. Will try Bilie/Zera/Heat/Daphne combo to try freeze/kill him but i suspect i wont have enough dps. Probably another fire dps maiden instead of Daphne would work better, but i dont have unfortunately

I stopped trying since i can't out dps the healers and killing the healers take too much time. No matter what your strat is, you probably need pretty high lvl gear on your team to even get close.

My guess is that they will nerf this boss when a map 3 is ready, letting this boss this hard so the players have something to aim for and keep playing.

New event with a time-travelling steampunk. No story this time, but all the stages are unlocked after a day and a half and less types of ingredients are required. Also a cowgirl and an elf for the event gacha.

Is it possible to get past event girls in current event gachas? I'm trying to save gems for a 10x spin but I impulse buy.
