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.
