First thing that needs to be said... Pero Pero is all that Luv Bingo/Slots and Hellfire Girls aimed to be but failed trying! I'm sorry for Nutaku but they get a hand so full with Pero Pero that it overshadowed their other games, although it's still be second place to Millenium War Aigis... The setting is fun, the slots are kind of addicting, there lots of girls... the animated scenes are... well... innovative for a browser game! Or so I would like to think... My experience with this kind of game is still parse, since most eroges out there would need a comprehension of japanese and software handling that I never put much effort into...

As for the event... well I'm F2P that stumbled on the "Kasumi 8.7" bug and I'm bitterly watching my ranking falling from Top 900 to the Lesser 1500 (and still falling) as I'm writing this post... If the rules that Kotono-san posted in the event guide were properly working my Lv. 223 boss should have 2.130.000hp but instead has more than 9 million (damn you Vegeta!)... even with an energy drink I would still need 30 puddings to take it down...

But I still got 400.000 EP and all the videos so I'm pretty ok with all that... I think... My only fear now is the elite cards being removed from the gacha with the end of the event... that sure would be a kick in the shin...

I'm having a little mixed but mostly good time in the game and didn't have any issues with this event, although I'm a little concerned about reaching a point of stagnation as far advancing my account goes.

With the event I had got a couple of the booster packs when my account was new so I did have some event gachas going in and I did opt to get some more to finish the gacha box. Never had any problem with the Kasumis although I did need to spend lots of Pero on NRG Drinks. Now buying all the event gacha girls is not really the best way to play as it is REALLY expensive to keep doing that if they introduce girls to game this way in future updates/events. I like the idea of the event gacha box but I had to clear 16/17 girls from it before I had all the new ones. I don't remember how many event gachas I started with but if I had just bought event gacha tickets starting with 0 that's around 140$ bucks, plus card reveals. Won't be trying that in the future. [MENTION=67]Skulkraken[/MENTION] used the term whale-hunting and I certainly don't want to encourage Nutaku to do that. It was fun to splurge on the game but I'll have to come across some major bucks before I can justify doing it regularly. Other than that I'm looking forward to seeing some other types of events outside of these "raid boss" types.

FYI the 140$ is just off the top of my head and based on event box chances of the 30%,35%,45% etc. rising chance of getting the SR and tickets being 3$ a pop. Would guess up to 9$ more if I cleared the box. I never had to roll more than 3 times on average to get the SR. And again I say plus card reveals. Card Reveal prices could vary depending what sets are available if you buy them, although they should be used when you "step it up" in the e-gacha.

My other progression concern is not being able to advance more SR girls quick enough. It seems like eventually advancing the girls is going to be like grinding from 1-max level in an MMORPG like WoW while not doing quests or dungeons. What I mean is it's going to be super slow, hopefully they add more "only once missions" to keep giving us bunches of SR Wilds. It may be mildly interesting to see who advances what girls if they show them off on their profile but personally I'm going to hoard my wilds for the next event in case there's more new girls that are super effective to the goal of that event like Akie Ibara, and I'm sure there's plenty of others who want to play efficiently like that. So what's the end game there? Everyone just has the same girls maxed out? That's a bit lame. Maybe people think I'm wrong but I say they're just happy to advance SRs at a slower rate. Anyway I just want to keep advancing my girls, including my SRs and I'm predicting spending tons of Pero on the Gacha and trading in my other wilds is not really going to be fun when the well of SR Wilds has run dry.

Perhaps a more common SR Wild that exists between events and expires when a new one starts (just to keep obtaining and advancing Alpha/Beta girls a bit more interesting) could exist? Well a man can dream.

P.S. Also 10 energy to spin in the "bonus" area kinda sucks. I know that I have access to another quest slot but that happened way before spins cost 10. Sucks that people who are behind me can get more dailies done. I mean there's already the Completion Scheme GHQ for people to get girls they missed so what do I care if girls from all stages are in the "bonus" area? Why the hell's it called that? There's no bonuses there. Anyway this post script is nearly already another paragraph I'm just going to stop here.

P.P.S. And as much as I'm complaining I still like PPS and I'm going to keep playing, just not spending $$$ like what I did this last month. And I'd like to see faster progression on the girls. And everything paid is what I paid in Canadian dollars.

Personally I am very happy with PPS. The game itself is a lot of fun, both the slots and the story, and being the 'collector' that I am I have a lot of fun trying to get every girl that I possibly can. Sadly I can't toss money at the game to get 'every' girl, but that really doesn't bother me to much. What PPS hands out for free is more than worth it and I totally understand the need for 'advantages' for those who do spend money on the game.


The first event that PPS is having is rather fun in my opinion. Getting all those rewards, bonuses, and such is great. Not to mention that the slots are only 3 stamina during the event, and I hope they continue to have events like this often. That being said, there have been issues like people have already mentioned. My main complaint is the 'bug' with those high level bosses. Because of them I have to spend tons of Pero or watch my ranking rise by the hour. I was around 160 and getting lower before those 8 mill bosses kept showing up and now I'm at 223. Truthfully I'll be satisfied as long as I don't go above 300, but I think it will be rather close so I'm crossing my fingers and plan on wasting money on buying elixirs since I usually don't play the game during 'peak' hours when a lot of other people play. At least not many on my friends list.

I am also a bit annoyed at Nutaku for saying they were going to 'fix' things and 'compensate' people, but didn't really follow through; however, I personally consider this a very minor thing and can easily forgive them for this first event. I just hope that this event has given Nutaku a lot of good feedback, data, and such so the next event/s will be even better than this one. That is my hope anyway.


My only other..criticism..is the fact that we can't go back to previous areas and that the bonus area cost 10 stamina. I know there is GHQ for getting 'missed' girls and that's great and all, but you literally have to spend the whole 24 hours of a day to get all the daily missions done. I spend a lot of time playing the game, but I know others don't have that kind of time to invest so it would be nice if the bonus area was cheaper. Perhaps 5-7 stamina. Yet, I consider this is a minor thing since technically the bonus area does give a 'bonus'..a SR wild card..during 'some' chance times. That's nice and all, but I don't think it's worth the 10 stamina and it would be better if we could do the daily missions easier.

I also have a slight worry that some cards will be 'retired' like event or Kurito's cards, but I don't think we have any conformation on this at the moment so I'm not going to get to worked up over it.

All in all I do love PPS and plan on playing for a very, very, long time. ♥

first i need to say...8.7m+ guard isnt a bug..is a dammit wall! whats the point on buyin an elixir if the next boss is another OP guard? (sorry, i just spent 35k gold on elixirs...but was useless...so i gave up and need to wait 2 hrs..)

to me is a good game, i found it on the dmm page while was waitin a lottery for Kancolle (thats the reason why i joined that page)
but it seemed pretty interestin to play...plus a like collecting cards games like this or girlfriend beta (wich is very similar except by the hentai stuff...)..even play Yugioh and Magic:The Gathering

about the f2p or p2p, im not a fan of spendin money on this kind of games but dont complain if other ppl wants to do it, their are gettin more cuze the are payin for it, thats fair.

the event was doin good for me till the OP guard started to spam, used the points i got of the ref. friend on 2 event tickets, got the N and SR Boost cards (thanks to the card reveal), im not aimin to high for this event (i had 19k SED when it started but now i have 120k..cant complain) just gettin Runa is enough for me.

@RRYGO Wow, that's some pretty great luck getting 2 slayer cards with only 2 event tickets! Those 8.7m guards certainly did pose a gigantic wall that just stopped all progress in its tracks initially. While the best option seemed like waiting for Nutaku to roll out the fix at first, I'm glad Danex stuck with organizing the group raids. You can see that others are very willing to jump in and contribute to the guards most of the members here spawn now because we take them down consistently.

@Arekusu&Zerana Yes! The stupid bonus area! I totally forgot to bring up how baffling that is to me. At this point it doesn't even exist to me anymore, I only ever use it during the intervals when the GHQ is down. I'd swear on Airu that the bonus area has lesser odds of hitting anything than the normal levels or even the event gacha. I didn't take any hard statistics down, but I did a little test trying to finish my dailies one day strictly using the bonus area vs. using the GHQ. It ended up something like the bonus area would only ever give me a hit about 1 in 5 spins where the GHQ would only miss 1 in 5 spins so even at its greater stam consumption the GHQ dominated it no contest.

Regarding the whale-hunting topic, Nutaku's "everything is going like it should" reversal sure did come off sounding more like "Yea, we screwed up. Too hard to fix now. Just spend money on puddings and you'll be fine!" Plus they just added the Booster Pack back in today. Of those of us chiming in so far here it seems like Arekusu and myself are the only ones that have spent money outside of referral gold. His take on the money put into PeroPero largely mirrors my own. It was a fun splurge that definitely helped me learn how I want to continue playing the game and figure out the most effective use of resources, but not something I'm going to be doing very often. I don't think "initial support" players like us encourage the whale-hunting either, as we're the type to back off and manage resources more wisely after having fun in the first event splurge. From this point forward, as long as Nutaku doesn't pull any moves like with this event I see myself probably spending a little when events come around, and only going all out like I did here if its a girl that I just really need to have
