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
