One thing I am noticing is that the rewards for pink boxes are most definitely different. I haven't gotten any R-Gacha tickets (which pretty much looks confirmed) but I AM seeing multiples of things. You don't just get ONE R-Wild, you get three. If you can manage to get a pink box, the rewards are generally pretty decent this time around. What they are taking in making the event shorter, they are giving back provided you can actually get an box that doesn't disappear in 2.3 seconds.

I can definitely confirm that R-Gacha are in silver boxes though.

My thought is that they are losing money. The reason I think this is that if this switch to shorter events is permanent, it is a sign not enough people are buying consumable. As we know most of the "whales" are no longer buying E-Gatcha or other card acquisition material because the cost has now become prohibitive (even for whales). They may be hoping that people will drop a few bucks to get the rewards they want. Or they could just be adjusting for leap year. Lets pray it's just an adjustment for leap year and this is a one off shrinkage.... and this time as an f2p I don't think I'll make 51k. Good luck to us all.

The pink boxes drop 3x R Wild and 5x N Wild.

Also it seems that the girl you get from a case is an R girl, not an SR girl, in this gambit. Is there an SR in the cases?

It's planned to be changed, card in cases will be an SR after 2nd phase starts.

Not that I doubt you, but where did you hear that? I'm guessing the chat room.

I'm actually down with this plan. They usually increase the drop rate in second phase, so this isn't very different. In fact, it's kind of better since you can get TWO girls instead of one.

This event is very much "Taketh with one hand and giveth with the other."

It's short. There is a slightly increased hurdle on the SR girl for trinkets, and no R-gacha from pink boxes. On the other hand, pink boxes have some really nice new things (3 R-Wild is nice) and you can get two girls from boxes. I dunno if the two exactly balance out, but it's not as bad as it could be.

*stops using silver and gold keys until Phase 2 to get extra SR and Ex wilds from dailies by opening said cases*
Just kidding, but, really? I feel this whole Gambit is an insult to complaining f2p players. If i were a paying player i wouldn't increase donations as they do so to the game - i'd rather totaly stop spending at all, or even dropped the game. Seriously. Btw, the 51k SR card ist'n really worth the effort of trying to get her this time, imo.

Well, kinda. But if the second one will be R too, or if there will be no 2nd Case Girl - then it sucks balls.

Oh, yeah, and i really hope the Gambit won't last only for 8 days this time (from now on?), and the timer in the scrolling AD now just shows the time until the end of Phase 1.
If Gambits and other Event's will now last for 1 week instead of 2 it's totally shitty, and will mean literally "No 50k and area 200 rewards for f2p players, Period". Which makes Gambit a total waste of time since most of the players won't even be able to unlock and read the full story.
And if all Events will become "out of f2p league" then why even playinmg it? Like 80% of the players can just quit the game then - or start logging in like once in a month when they are totally bored and just don't know what else to do. Is that what they are trying to achieve? Meh, they could just make PPS a subscription fee or paid session game then from the very begnning...

Btw, i guess personally i and other players from Russia will quit PPS and other Nutaku games soon, whatever Nutaku pulls out next: the authorities in Russia almost pushed through another "anti-pedo" law, so people in Russia will soon start getting sentenced to 10 years in jail for having loli hentai or ecchi pictures, or even for having pictures of real adult people dressed up or acting as underage characters if they are involved in, or simulating sexual activity (ero cosplay, cosplay porn and stuff like this in the first place). Russian Communications Overwatch (Roskomnadzor) just goes nuts at their best lately. I'm starting to feel like i am living in China or North Korea or somethisng...

Someone get it. Finally.

FYI, Airu let a related message as spoiler when you explore the gambit.

Kinda unrelated, but I'm digging the bosses. All three of them. At least it's not the horse faced doctor again. Ugh.

You mean the episode for beating 40 locations?

Yeah. Finally. And you can even see Tomoe Inukai's cameltoe uncensored if you'll look closer after defeating her... ^,..,^
