Hey everyone! So, several factors made me want to start this thread. It started with discussion over in the event thread bringing up things such as the worth of spending money on the Event Gacha; Friendliness of the game to F2Pers; Nutaku's handling of the 8.7mil bug and really just a bunch of subjects involving the playerbase's experiences and feelings toward the game.

That, coupled with a good share of new members joining us recently (Welcome all recent members!), had me thinking it would be a good topic everyone could chime in on if they wanted to and make a friendly discussion the community here could have.


Sooo...a bit of my thoughts so far

I'm usually never a completely F2Per of any game that I decide I'm going to stick with for a time. I don't mind throwing an initial bit of support to games I like, which usually has me grabbing a few smaller newbie deals or maybe a mid-tier one. I totally understand the feeling of keeping up with the top players as F2P that was being mentioned as well though, I've been there too! For PeroPero I definitely could have used my contribution a lot more wisely, but I'm happy overall with what its gotten me and it enhancing my general enjoyment of the game.

I think PeroPero is just a really enjoyable game early on. Its so freaking silly, but it sucks you in and gets addictive. Some of the common negative points for early game that I agree with are the "I love to read things one character at a time!" text speed and the monotony of just pressing that go button for eternity until the event came along. Still very much enjoyed it the first month and was super excited for the event to come along.

Event comes along, enjoyed about all of the first day of play. I did summon an 8.7mil Kasumi that first night, but wasn't sure how the sharing mechanic worked. So while it did seem like a big jump I didn't understand its true terror at the time. Over the next two days I start to understand how that really can't be right and watch my EP progress begin to completely stop. Nutaku then puts up the apology and compensation notice. Loooong state of limbo waiting to see what they're going to do.

Leading up to where I feel they really dropped the ball in basically retracting their previous statement, saying nothing was wrong, then going completely silent. Not going to rant on about it, there are points which they can be defended on, but I think the whole handling should set off at least a feeling of betrayal or 2 in every player. Kinda kept trudging along after that just seeing the event though, and it really wasn't until the N Gacha finally gave me Akie that it started to get enjoyable again.

Its really really crazy how much difference the Elite SR Alpha makes! I had the Normal and two Rare Slayer cards right away from the event box and had Wild Cards saved to level them up right away. While noticeable damage increase compared to not having any multiplier, the 8.7mil bug pretty much rendered them useless in being able to contribute to taking them down. My mind is still blown by how much having that Akie card can really change your perception of this event. Nutaku should just give it out to everyone for the last day or something so they can understand lol.

I also think its super interesting that obtaining Akie is just as much about luck for free players going the N Gacha route or spenders who would probably need to dish out something upwards of $250 to reach the 100% guarantee point of getting her.

And that's kinda where I am now. I think if I still didn't have Akie that I would have a much more negative outlook on this event. I'd still be playing a lot, but I'd be a lot more angry about the whole "bug" situation. I'm very interested in what they are going to say when they next communicate with us.

Summing up the whole package so far, for me PeroPero still comes out well in the positive. I'll give Nutaku some leeway to redeem themselves because the game is enjoyable and could have been really amazing with proper Kasumi scaling in the event.

Get it together Nutaku! I want to like your handling of this game, so do it good!

Come chime in with your thoughts! Say as much or as little as you'd like! Don't feel you have to say if you're a spender or F2P or anything else! Whatever's on your chest about the game (besides a lot of pie) vent it out here! Whatever! =D

My own experience with the event was a lot less stressful than most others, I'd guess.

The only things I really cared about with this event were the limited card for hitting 100k EP and the movies along the way. Which I've gotten, so I'm satisfied. I actually never encountered the bug, since I wasn't farming for items and support points. We're probably never going to get a straight answer about that.

I'm a F2P player through and through, and plan to continue being a cheapskate for at least a little while longer. I'll consider changing my ways if DMM and/or Nutaku knock it off with the whale-hunting. Maybe.

I've had a lot of fun with this game so far. As Xanthius said, while it isn't really much to it, it is addicting for some reason. Wish i had known that staying in the first area was more beneficial.

Event came out, i was prepared by having a ton of gold since i had read that it would be needed, which made me get the free slayer cards at once. I agree that the event bugs could have been handled differently and it did feel annoying when they simply retracted their statement.

I will keep playing this game for free at the moment, since i feel the costs for everything in this game are way too steep. I also feel that the handling of the free vs paying could have been done differently. Some might disagree, but i feel that all cards eventually should be available to all players, but that free players will have a lot harder time getting a select few of them. Aigis went this route. There is nothing you cannot get as a free player if luck is with you. However the average luck means you still need to pay if you really want to try to get everything.

And i don't mean something like putting it in the normal gacha. The event cards could be put in the "guaranteed SR" gacha. This would mean that free players would have a chance at one of those cards once per month or so (because that's about how often a free player gets a guaranteed SR, really), while still keeping them from getting all of the cards for a long while since all the other SR cards are also in that gacha. It would still be a sound investment to get event cards for those who want to pay for it, but free players wouldn't be completely gutted and unable to get those cards forever.

All in all, a nice and addicting game. Hope the next event is handled better.

3 mill per Pero spend on N-Gacha give players 95% chance to get a SR Card like Akie.
With normal luck you only have to spend 1 mill to get Akie so the other 2 mill pero can be saved for next event wher you very unlucky.
So if you can collect 1-2 mill pero between every I alwasy have 95% chance to get the SR I need.
Is a free player I find the odd ok. For this first event I didnt know this but I was luck to get Akie anyway.
For future events I will be better prepaired. So far I like PeroPero.

Honestly, I never thought a Hentai/Ecchi game would be so fun. Even with a quite simple idea, the game is really enjoyable.

Since I like to read and keep myself informed when playing any game, my first experience with LoV gave me a good reason to try PPS and play it in an effective way (as much as possible). I'm a F2P guy but I'm really considering to show my suport with paid stuff, though I'll wait for a better moment to do so, since I have to agree that this very moment isn't the best (and my hilarious failure with the free gold confirmed me that).

Since I'm stuck at area 3 the very first days of the game were a little repetitive in terms of what to do and SED progress, but the event gave the game a really fun boost and I'm really enjoying playing it.
Of course, finding an active community with a nice group to exchange thoughts and info makes everything better. :3

Regarding the event, I think that this first experience (with PPS) will provide Nutaku with some good feedback so they can handle future eventes and situations better. There are some common polemic issues which have been already mentioned (high HP guards bug, the unfortunate compensation announcement they published, the way the issues were handled, etc), and I think that those issues will leave some good guidelines for Nutaku's future work.
Even with that, I think they are doing a quite nice work and I look forward to watch them grow.

I'm only annoyed with the fact that the only 2 event cards I actually wanted to receive, are part of that awkward "you need to pay to get 'em" group of cards. But C'mon, as a F2P player I think I've received more stuff than I was hoping to at first. Needs some more dedicated planning to keep up with events though, but I love planning stuff xD LOL.

That would be all, I'm really enjoying the game so far, as well as being part of this community. ^.^

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...
