Thread: New Upcoming Game: Crystal Maidens

I like this game, I really do, but I have to say the events bug me. They seem to be a little too difficult to complete due to the amount of materials needed, how few you can actually get for most of the event, and how they seem to give you just barely enough time to do it all. I haven't been able to dedicate my entire life to an event yet because, hey, life gets in the way and sometimes you can't play Crystal Maidens all day (I have to be away from my computer for the day/ there's an emergency/etc.).

The problem is, if you miss one day of the event or don't use all of your energy wisely you're pretty much screwed for the whole thing. Add to that the really poor updates they perform mid-event that basically take the game offline for hours at a time. You have to understand, in advance, when the game's going to be down and they won't tell you. Just know that if the game says mission 3 will be available at 10 AM EST, it really means it'll go offline at 10 AM and won't be online again until 1 PM, so make sure you use all of your energy before that happens so you don't let any go to waste! It wouldn't be so bad if they just made all the missions available at once. I've never seen another game that does it gradually like that, especially when it doesn't even work properly.

I'm not certain yet if it's even possible to complete an event without using diamonds, because I haven't been able to do it. I put a lot of work into the last event and I still needed to use almost all of my diamonds to finish, and I had saved up a shit-ton.

So I'm doing a little experiment. I've been putting my all effort into this event, shirking everything else in my life, strategically choosing my missions carefully to maximize my energy and mission rewards, studying the ass-backward update system and adjusting to its crap factor and just generally doing everything humanly possible to finish this event without using diamonds. I'll let you know it it's possible but, even if it is, it's a hell of a lot of work to go through for a single reward.

In the latest Kamihime Project event, I was 2 days into the event and had already earned 5 copies of the event character, plus a bunch of other stuff, just to give you an example of how a great game does events.

If you have smartphone, you can play it
Event maiden will be in gacha shop after and you can gacha her if you lucky

As long as you have max Barracks for energypoint thingies, you can take approx 10h breaks between sessions. I never payed, except what free gems I have gained, for stamina. Usually one or two times is enough to guarantee girls. And usually the icon as well.

Arena seems to be online. Any preferences as to starting guardian maiden.

There are now at least two new guardians, and when I logged in, it looked to me like I've won them and the other one I didn't choose at the start.

When I go to my Guardians, it says that I have 4/4 in my guardian collection, but weirdly, those 3 are dim and not selectable.

There is another tab in the shop window, the Arena tab. I spent 20 PvP tickets on one of the Guardians that I couldn't select, then went to check my Guardians again and it was still the same.

Do I need to earn/buy those Guardian shards and are they Guardian-specific? If so, why does the Guardian I already have also has a progress bar showing that I need those guardian shards, but when I select her, inside I can flirt with her with the normal colored shards?

Thank you in advance.

Your other guardian need lv 1 to unlock
To lv up guardian, you need the shard ( >35 shard for lv up lv 1)
The shard you can have from shop (buy by gem or ticket) and reward daily arena

Game Not Valid Message
Anyone else getting this message in an Arena battle and any idea why?

Its happened 4 times now in about 50 games total and the situation is the same in each case. Disposed of the opposition and are in the process of attacking the tree thing at the end, plenty of time to go when the game appears to end early and displays this message. It also goes down as a loss. I've never seen it before in general play.

As this feature is only recently out of beta testing it might just be glitch they haven't fixed yet which is OK but recording it as a loss isn't right, I'm quite capable of losing without additional help.

got 9174 Gacha Coins. When i click 9k Gacha, it says get more Gacha coins. Is there a bug or does it cost more then 9k?

How do you guys decide on your team composition?

I've been using Althea, Eli, Ava and Edana since the beginning but now I have 21 maidens and one of them legendary.
I've been looking at the rivsoft website to try to figure out how some maidens will be at lvl 65 (same level as the ones I have) but it always looks that the ones I'm using are better.
There are also some things I don't understand from there: what is the "camps" field and why is there a Damage and Dodge slider? When I input the stats of my weapons, they already come with those stats (when they have them).

When I compare Edana with Taki, the differences in stats are that Edana has less attack speed but more HP, EHP, Damage and a bit more DPS. Edana's skill deals 3 times more damage, but doesn't have the stun effect from the Taki's skill (even though it stuns all enemies in the field and my maidens, also aggroing enemies that are at the other end of the map).

So, back to my initial question, how do you build your team? And do you start leveling a maiden that you think is good when your main maidens are at a high level already?

Did they "fixed" the insane grind during events?
