Thread: New Upcoming Game: Crystal Maidens

Don't even bother with it right now, there doesn't even seem to be any actual rewards for doing challenges and many require units you probably don't even have if you just started.

OK I'm enjoying this but long trm it seems like the premium currency tickles in worse then FKG - call it 150 - 200 a month

A basic 10xroll is 1000 to guarantee a rare - a maiden which could be a duplicate and a handful of gems is 500, or it could be a good equip true, but 500 or 5,000 for a guaranteed legend - assuming I'm about right on crystals then thats' 25 months worth of savings....

So, for the longer term players how does the crystal income shake down, is this going to be stupidly pay hungry?

My gut feeling is you're on the low side for currency, there 3 quests per day* (well, 24 hours, but cooldown starts when you finish one), each giving 5-25.

That said, I'm fine with fremium games forceing you to spend money if you want the best stuff. The real question, in my mind, is *if* that guaranteed legendary is a maiden or not.

I don't mind spending, but I only spend on "guarantees". We already have the item pull if I want a guaranteed legendary item.

Unfortunately you might not be able to complete some of those quests. I already had to skip 2 because they were unaccomplishable because they required marksmen maidens.

It would be a significant improvement if you could pickup a girl via her portrait at the bottom even when already deployed. (and yes, I send them that feedback)

My biggest is trying to cast abilities feels nearly impossible for the mage characters with how finnicky the clicking is.

Yeah, mouse responsiveness in general seems too poor for how quickly things can move.

Note: Didn't notice this at first, but there's a little "filling circle" cooldown on how often you can pick up a girl. But it's still difficult to pick up a moving girl even when she isn't on pickup cooldown. I also think you essentially can't click offensive skills if there is no opponent in range. And for ranged AoE's, you can drag the attack to where you want it.

You can also zoom in with the mouse wheel, but moving the view around is SOO slow (click and drag, at like a fraction of the speed the mouse is moving)

Oh, one thing to mention, I guess. I don't really *use* mage characters.

I use my tank and my healer, with the other two characters never deploying until my tank has engaged the final enemy. They're pretty much just there to sponge EXP to do challenges at some later date.

It's too hard wrangling the maidens to prevent all the squishies from running past my tank and getting 1-shotted. Even with the healer, I usually have her "picked up", drop her way back, cast the heal, then pick her up again. Thankfully, skills cycle even when they are being held after first deployment, and casting the heal keeps her in position for a good chunk of her pickup cooldown.

Which reminds me, seems like there's quite a few maidens "missing". Think there's at least 1 "missing" girl in the art for all of the gachas that depict girls, except the crystals one:

Green-haired archer (yay?) and blue haired... (want to say engineer? Hammer in right hand, ore in left?) in the normal Gacha
Red-haired/red horns (up) with purple feather outfit (no clue on class) in the premium gacha
Bikini plate chick in the premium item gacha...
Ok, everybody in crstyal gacha seems accounted for, I assume the white haired chick is Micah)
Pony-tail girl and pink haired girl on xp-boost

(The "missing" girls on the gacha's where you can pull girls is very possibly illegal advertising. The rest can be explained away as just artistic license/show up anywhere in the game even as enemy.)

There is no legendary maiden guaranteed as the gatcha that has the maidens has both equipment and maiden. Though the equipment only one is rather nice because once you get all the maidens, you only get crystals for duplicate maidens, which is not hard to farm. With a item only gatcha, you can at least get legendary rarity equipment, which have terrible drop rates from farming and some pieces can't even be found as a drop yet.

I would assume they're maidens you can get in the future. It would be weird if they didn't already have some ready to go for upcoming events or something.

Yep, unless I hear otherwise that's my assumption, which is why I haven't given it a try. (It's not inconceivable they threw players a bone and made the legendary maiden only, seeing as the one that guarantees a legendary item is only 3000) but unless the wordage changes I'm going to assume they didn't.)
