On 526, has anyone seen all the shows act like they are running in slow motion?

Not

The special event cards are no more valuable than the other 4-5 cards from that same model.Value is what people will pay for them, and the evidence suggests that enough people will pay what I consider excessive prices so to those people these cards are indeed more valuable than the others because they choose to pay the price to get them. Their intrinsic value is the same, but their rarity adds value to those who, for whatever reason, value the exclusivity or must have a full collection of some model's cards. This in turn makes them more valuable to Totem as it will boost the participation in the games.

You forget that people are not always logical actors. WE are full of addictions, mental illnesses, neuroticism that causes us to become mentally unbalanced and we make decisions that are actually not value based but instead a result of a mental imbalance. You can't say that an addictive gambler gets "value" from their addiction equal to the money spent. This was initially why I was against the special event games because I felt they were exploitative of people who might have money or might not but the game itself took advantage of mental vulnerabilities. This is what lootboxes and gambling does in games and why it is so lucrative relative to normal gaming. Anybody who has played the gambling games, or even the trading cards in dolz knows there are emotional responses that are beyond just enjoying the girls. Just because somebody spends $500 on a card doesn't mean they actually have the money to spend, or it won't ***** somebody else in their life, and the later reflection and consequences might certainly outweigh any "value". You and I know the cards are just normal cards. I still feel uncomfortable with the process because I know some people playing the gambling games can't afford it.

@Calgon ... i know what you mean 😉

I will be watching Lana Lane pouring milk over herself whilst dressed in a cow outfit. Not sure it will calm things down though.

I'll second that.

Reverted to 524. 526 is unstable. I figured out how to make it consistently crash. Just do a synch with servers and open the store. That does not crash it in 524.

I am playing 10 shows across two monitors. It does quite nicely in the 64 bit version. In the older 32 bit version I would lag uite a bit and consume way more CPU. The trade off seems to be rthat more virtual memory is consumed now.

I am chalking the weirdness I seen up to Norton .. at the least the slow motion shows. Norton wanted to repair the installation so I would say that is suspicious and can definitely produce a performance lag. I continue to play 10 shows with very good response.

Thanks Dudes
I've just enjoyed 3 Russian/ Ukrainian office girls - Lucy Heart, Belka and Mara Blake, no less, stripping for me in the virtual club :-)

While I personally do not approve of it...
The Team has started to Withold releasing the SEC card to the Store Till AFTER the Events are Over.

1) you can Win the SEC by taking part in the Events.
2) you CAN NOT use a joker to get the SEC till it is released to the store.
So while the Event is running, the only way to get the SEC is to take part in the event.

This adds Incentive for members to take part in the Event if they want the SEC now..
or
They have to wait the 4 or 5 weeks till the event is Over, and then Use a Joker once the SEC is released to the Store.

On 526, has anyone seen all the shows act like they are running in slow motion? Once it does that I stop it and start it again and the shows run fine. Doubtful that i's the mix of shows playing or the PC. Very intermittent. I am sure I seen it with earlire versions as well.

I rebooted and tried clicking on everything that can be clicked on in the right upper corner. Seems to work as expected now.

Weird it no longer closes. I had a couple of weird problems like that today where clicking on things would close the GUI/ No program crash in the event log but the GUI would just close out.

@TheEmu

When referring to clicking on your pseudo-name do you mean the name in the top right corner of the GUI's window or somewhere else ?

Yes, my own pseudo-name as opposed to userid in the upper right cornert. When I left clicked it the GUI would close.

I'll try it again.

I assume that one could do this previously?

I think you would be wrong in that assumption.

By the time Carla's special event is released she will have almost 3 hours of content released

So you can no longer use a Joker to buy the exclusive card when announced as part of a game? I assume that one could do this previously? If you play the game can you get the show before the current round of games end and it is official released as much as a exclusive card is actually released?

I would agree it lessens the appeal of owning a joker if those playing the games are going to get the show before you. This seems like an odd policy change to me. I guess the point is to get Joker owners to keep playing the games but if the prize is a Joker then what is the point? I guess you could buy older exclusive cards but if you have a Joker you would have already spent in on that exclusive card wanted or already got it while gambling it in pursuit of your Joker.

And I would think that if they were trying to get you to waste more credits on the games they wouldn't release her non exclusive cards while dangling the latest exclusive card.

Seems odd to me but I'm sure it will make sense to someone.

👍👍👍👍 more cards requested 😍

I am choosing Agatha Vega xD

Agatha Vega 😍😍😍 an absolute favourite 😍😍😍

Only have one Sec card, and that was the xmas one as i was getting the other cards anyway, so didn't cost a fortune like they usually do, Dolz are a big nope, so is crypto, great for making money when it started, not great as a current investment.

People will try as they might to get you onto it though, because it's better for them if you do, the more people use it, the more valuable it becomes... too easy to lose.

The special event card is the most valuable when it is first released. Totem knows that so they have found another opportunity to extort their customers who may not want to wait for this highly anticipated card. In 5 weeks it will be just another card. The joker card has just decreased greatly in value.

The special event cards are no more valuable than the other 4-5 cards from that same model. By the time Carla's special event is released she will have almost 3 hours of content released for about $6...just go back and watch that 3 hours. Or play the game, gamble, hope for the best and get the special event. Why the *****?

No Dolz or any SEC's for me in the future.
Cost too much when you compare to other cards.

@Stripargo

But you use it at any time - for any card in the store. Its not a restriction on when you can use the joker it is simply that the card you seem to want to exchange it for has not yet been released.

Not sure why they put the volume settings back in "Settings" It appears to do exactly the same thing as the sliders in the volume control in the bottom right of the app.

I agree. I can see some reasons for having both sets of controls, but not in the form that it has been implemented where they are simply duplicate controls providing the same functionality. If you change one it also changes the other.

I think that the sliders on the settings page should perhaps provide default settings to be used when the program starts so that they provides the initial positions for the other sliders but are not changed when those other sliders are moved. I would also prefer to see separate volume controls for the full screen and desktop modes, but that's a ***** consideration.

They are treating the joker card that you spent hundreds of credits on like it was some free coupon you got in the mail.
Oh, you can't use it between certain hours or on the weekends. I can understand that because it's a FREE or a cheap coupon. The joker cards are ANYTHING BUT FREE and there making you wait 5 weeks! They keep sinking lower. This is disgusting.

Version 1.2.526 64bit
After quitting and relaunching the app, I go to the store tab. The coming soon page is displayed then the app shuts down by itself. No error message in the log too.
We have a stability issue with this version (I didn't see that in the previous ones).

New version crashed twice whilst trying to purchase todays card.

First time it crashed when I selected purchase the card in the store.

Second time it let me purchase the card but then crashed just after it registered it with the Servers.

Has been running since then (downloaded photos and card). Card appears to play OK.

Not sure why they put the volume settings back in "Settings" It appears to do exactly the same thing as the sliders in the volume control in the bottom right of the app.

Will have a longer play later.

Version 1.2.526 64bit : after clicking the taskbar icon to display the GUI, the software shuts down by itself and there is no error message in the vghd.log
It's the first time I see that.

Please let us know any other problem you may encounter! Thank you for your feedback and take care.

Don't know if this will help but I use the K-Lite codec pack. Seems to work very well with windows 11. I am 100 sure but it seems to use the LAV video decoder for the H264 videos on this site. I can play the videos directly or download them and play them with no problem.

@Zewl
You play 15 credits, you win 35 credits : 35-15=20 the server gives you the good amount of 20 credits.

Funny but bonus video works fine for me (64 bits) and no problem with music.

Receiving fewer credits from mini game wins than what is being stated.
In games where I win "35" credits I am only receiving 20. Is there a reason why?

Thanks,

@RyderKnightley
This card will be showed in the store on 1st of september, after the end of the august's event. Then, you will be able to purchase it with a Joker card, if you don't win it during the event.

Hello bunnies!!!

I am overjoyed to share the news that we have elected the beautiful Sky Pierce as the August Talent of the Month!
As soon as we met Sky, it became evident that she was destined to become a Talent of the Month!

We have rarely seen a model with such amazing energy and a smile that could light up any room! Filming with her was so much fun, she was already ready for a challenge and always in a great mood! One of the nicest models we've had the pleasure of working with!

You seemed to have loved her as much as we have, leaving comments such as these on her shows :

"Sky Pierce puts on a fabulous show. x"

"If Lazuli/Android 18 were a real person then I could see why Krillin put the world at risk if she was as beautiful as Sky Pierce."

"I love skinny, cute girls like Sky! As an added bonus, she's Canadian, so I bet she's super nice IRL!"



Congratulations to Sky! Sending her lots of love!

Just downloaded .526...
Had great expectations, instead bonus video issue and music issue are both still there...
Please fix

Automatic update to 1.2.526 64bit done today. Everything is ok and now my forum's GUI is in french. Thank you to the team 👍

So when you click on your "pseudo-name" you get logged out? Is that expected?

I also updated to today's new version.

When referring to clicking on your pseudo-name do you mean the name in the top right corner of the GUI's window or somewhere else ? If it is that one then I have no problem with it - it brings up a drop down menu with logout as the last option in that menu just as it has done with the last few versions.

So when you click on your "pseudo-name" you get logged out? Is that expected?

Laptop updated to 526 jut fine. So on the desktp I used "check for updates" but the laptop updated automatically. No problems with either.

Version 526 installed. At least on my desktop, it installed with no problems. So far it's working ffine.

😆 👍 😎

@Omgman

I'm confident that a good chunk of users left when hentai shows did not make the poll

I'm not interested in watching cartoons instead of real models but if you want to cartoon-ify the existing shows you could use one of many shaders that do this e.g

The Nostalgia of these collectable cards are worth every penny.

Even without the nostagia factor (I wasn't around for the prior product) I found these cards well worth buying. For the most part the performances and costumes are what I was looking for and which I am now find is largely missing in the more recent cards.

I'm surprised that these cards are even being considered in the total, as they are virtually unwatchable, and the models are minute!

There are bonus Videos and Photosets, that More than make up for the Lower video quality of these Collectable cards.
For the Many Members who owned the Prior Versions of the Product dating back to 1998
The Nostalgia of these collectable cards are worth every penny.

you would have to collect the missing 227 cards.

I doubt I would consider your opinion more valid than mine and certainly don't consider your opinion as fact.

Which is pretty much what I was trying to point out. Neither of us have the data on which to base our opinions - but Totem do have that data so their opinions have a much stronger basis than any of ours.

You said you are concerned about the future viability of the product and gave some reasons for that concern so presumably you had some reason to think that at least one of them had a significant probability of being true (not neccessarily a high probabilty, but not negliable either). My replies highlighted that you had no data on which to base this judgement.

my opinions are limited to my perspective and experience

While Totem's are based on their perspective, much more relevant experience, and access to highly relevant data.

For example, if Totem had jumped from having no games at all to their current level then I would be concerned, But that is not what happened, the games and the SECs were introduced gradually, growing as experience with them was gained along with data on how well they were performing. This should vastly decrease any concerns you may have about their viability as a business strategy.

Please bring back the option to set music/sound level for full screen!

, or was likely to have, a negative effect on their profitability

concerned ... Yes .. long term very concerned?

Yes - but that does not imply that they were not beneficial.

And .. isn't that what I said?

I definitely don't know what you are trying to say and I'm pretty sure you don't understand what I'm saying. I'll take the blame for that as I can be slow at times and should be clearer in expressing my view.

My opinion is just that ... my opinion. While I'm sure you are a nice guy I doubt I would consider your opinion more valid than mine and certainly don't consider your opinion as fact. Since I do not have access to the books or any useable data my opinions are limited to my perspective and experience. I'm happy to debate anything you like but it's difficult when we are obviously speaking a different language.

I'll leave it at that.
