Title: School Idol Festival (Love Live) is now out for iOS/Android in the US!
Post by: Edible on May 12, 2014, 11:58:38 AM
Because I definitely needed another soul-crushingly addictive mobile game to play.

This one is like puzzle & dragons except it's a rhythm game instead of a puzzle game.  It also seems to have a story mode.

You could always just download the apk couldn't you?

This is the one I use for my PAD updates.
And here's the Google Play for good measure: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=klb.android.lovelive_en

I think you can just wait for it to show up in the store.  It should be there for you anyway - what are you searching for?

In other news, this game is very definitely not actually-holding-the-phone-and-playing friendly <_<

"uninstall Superuser and install SuperSU instead, then disable root access"

I have SuperSU. I am assuming disabling root access is unchecking 'enable Superuser'? Because that did not work

"For those still having issues getting passed the root check (like I was) when you were disabling it from SuperSU, I have a suggestion, download Cydia Substrate (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurik.substrate) and RootCloak Plus (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devadvance.rootcloakplus), and add the app to the list of blocking for root. Works like a charm."

One tip for getting a higher score: once you have some spare girls, use the Auto Formation button to create three teams, one for each color, and perform the songs with the matching color. I think early on this will give higher returns than feeding them to each other.

The level up mechanic in the game is feeding idol girls to one another, so the premise of the entire game is effectively cannibalism.

Can you ask them what to do when you have both installed, Love Live added to the RootCloak list, but Substrate refuses to become active? I've done the soft restart and everything and still no luck. Man, companies sure do hate fun don't they :[

Options -> Game Settings (7th option? idk I'm playing the Japanese version) -> Live Cut-in -> off

How far behind in content is the English version? I might give it a whirl, if only to start off on equal footing with everyone in terms of event participation AND pay to win :V

Also, if you haven't already started, PLEASE start with Honoka. You only get to choose Smile-type Rares as your first character, so pick her because she has an autistic amount of Smile and will last you until lategame

One doesn't - they are "events" that only run during certain periods, from what I understand.  Think rotational dragon dungeons and such in PAD.

In case. (http://decaf.kouhi.me/lovelive/index.php?title=Main_Page)

I said start with Honoka because of high stats, but yes, it's actually ok to start with anyone else because you can get Rares through regular play and both gachas. In fact, I started with Kotori because kotoridesu. You'll probably (read: definitely) need every little edge you can get for events, though.

Speaking of which, if the English version starts from scratch, the first event will be sweet&sweet holiday for a SR Pure Kotori, so stock up on Kayochins.

The devs give out 5 loveca on each main girl's birthday, at least 5 loveca total for daily login bonuses every month, and at least 3 loveca per event if you choose to just get the SR and run, or 10~13 total if you really want to evolve. If you happen to get duplicates of SRs from events/gacha or URs from gacha, don't evolve them immediately; save copies until your entire team is composed entirely of at least SRs, then evolve them.

One doesn't - they are "events" that only run during certain periods, from what I understand.  Think rotational dragon dungeons and such in PAD.
This. A few patches ago on the JP server, however, the three daily songs (Mermaid Festa vol.2, soldier game, Otome Shiki Renai Juku)  were given EX charts, and the LP costs adjusted accordingly (5/10/15/25, instead of 5/10/25), but these are too hard to be released on the English server when no one even has any SRs.

I don't really care for rhythm games so I'll pass but clicked this thread from reflex cuz I was thinking "date a live" instead of "love live". doh.

Anyway, after reading the op I figured I'd at least look at the characters and pretend I'd play and see what character I'd main or whatever. My verdict is.

Toujou has some of the best looking card/outfits...but on average I don't like her face much.

Nico is the winner! Cutest face award. Wouldn't mind longer twintails but oh well.

*meaning a girl with a different name, so a different backstory or whatever

so I was like oh hey what the heck, maybe I should try the game. I don't like rhythm games that much but I haven't been too impressed with any mobile games either, maybe rhythm games lack of interest to me doesn't lack so much on a platform which fails to interest me overall (given poor competition I mean...maybe I should start bringing my psp and ds along more often but I dunno.. I feel so dirty whipping them out in public. seriously, It's stupid I know but I do... maybe it's my age. I couldn't even whip out a phone pager in public school without causing a scene when I was there. I was never a spoiled kid but I was always the technological kid (despite never having my own pc until I was in effing college))..

anyway I figured I'd get it on my phone but... how to find on iphone. is it android only? I searched "love live" and nothing.
or is it not out in canada yet? I made a USA account for my phone for PaD but I only used it for that one purpose and haven't logged on since...I'll prob fail at remembering the login info qq.

Yeah, doing it fucked shit up worse.

Hard gives the most rank exp per stamina

Your feed for girls will always be three trash, regardless of difficulty and ranks.

Bond -actually- apppears to be higher on higher difficulties (?) it just varies wildly but is overall less efficient than just doing the same amount of easy runs

basically grind rank on hard, girls on easy.

Harder difficulties have more notes, but they're more difficult (obviously).

To get some love gems and money, idolize and max bond one each of the lowest-value girls that you wouldn't normally put on your team. Feed her to herself to make her wear the costume. Put one each of a certain color on a team. Edit: meaning one of each girl, but all from the same color so you're not throwing away score points. You have to get at least a C ranking in score to get the food.

Play the song with the longest combo that you can reliably achieve. The bond points will be divvied up amongst the girls. Girls with maximum bond will generously give their share to anyone else who needs it.

When an idolized girl gets max bond, click through her "story" and you never have to use her again. Don't forget to collect the album rewards for exploiting 5 girls, 10 girls, etc.

Is there a way to empty teams?
Aside from feeding any of the members to another, not that I know of.

what's the best way to have the girls engage in cannibalism("practice"?) I heard you feed lvl 40 fodder to your rare guys but that's it.
For now, yes. Evolve/maxlv/maxbond your Normals, read through their stories, and feed them to your Rares. Later on in the game when you have all the rares, you may want to feed them fresh rares with the same skill (the group has subsets of Smile, Pure, and Cool "mains" that determine what active skill they get). The next logical stage would be when your team is composed entirely of Super Rares, then Ultra Rares, et cetera.

Also, is it efficient to do things on the most difficult level possilble?
Yes, especially in regular events. HD gives 46 exp (and 16 event tokens total if you don't miss any, 1 extra), and EX gives 83 exp (27 event tokens total, 2 extra). However, it is NOT worth it to try them too early on when you don't have enough rares and can't get at least a C score, as the game will scale down your gains.

Last note: do NOT spend loveca on LP refills until you have at least 49 max LP, enough for two EXs per loveca.

10+1 just refers to the free roll you get if you drop 50 gems at once.  I did indeed choose to roll outside of an event though.  Mostly because I'm not sure if said event is even coming.

they're not liable to just not do it

Is it possible to get rares from clearing lives?
I'd also post my friend ID thing here but no more batteries, phone shut off (it really is a battery hog lol).
Anyway enjoying it more than I thought I would, which is nice I guess.

Also any obvious things I'm missing for leveling people up faster? Feeding duplicates that you no longer need cuz you already have an idol of the same type doesn't seem to work very well after level 20 or so. I tried feeding some level 1 trash some other level 1 trash then feeding it to who I wanted after hitting like level 5 and it doesn't seem to be any more effective than just feeding both level 1s (actually seemed less effective).

So far I'm not finding the game hard in the sense of completing anything on hard for, but I find it's very easy to break your combo when you get one of those hold notes that last a long time and you're busy with the other finger mashing like 4-5 notes when the hold note ends... I mean I have a hard time catching its end while I'm distracted with the other notes.

I also get nailed by hold notes that end just as my leader's combo super power thing procs covering the screen with her portrait so I miss that tail thing and...yeah.. argh.

I'm checking the current event for reference (I do enjoy the fact they replaced Umi with Buns. Clearly I must obtain her.), and it seems like it's a good chunk of points for the SR and a lot of ranking bullshit for an actual idolized version.

Yep, they'll happen like once in every hundred or so songs you play, but they're there.
Also any obvious things I'm missing for leveling people up faster?

I tried feeding some level 1 trash some other level 1 trash then feeding it to who I wanted after hitting like level 5 and it doesn't seem to be any more effective than just feeding both level 1s (actually seemed less effective).

If you're talking about rares, no, you'll have to feed duplicates of whatever you've already evolved OR given you have enough rares and super rares, any normals you've already maxed. If you get an S combo or S score, there's a high chance you'll get a normal that starts at level 9~13. Later on in the game, you can feed spare rares for additional active skill level-ups.

Later on in the game, when you've maxed pretty much all the normals, you won't even have space to keep all your trash mobs, so a common compression technique is to feed a normal until she hits 30. Alternatively, you can sell them.

So far I'm not finding the game hard in the sense of completing anything on hard for, but I find it's very easy to break your combo when you get one of those hold notes that last a long time and you're busy with the other finger mashing like 4-5 notes when the hold note ends... I mean I have a hard time catching its end while I'm distracted with the other notes.
It comes with practice, don't sweat it (or do if you're a sperg like me)

I also get nailed by hold notes that end just as my leader's combo super power thing procs covering the screen with her portrait so I miss that tail thing and...yeah.. argh.

The first events had ridiculously high rank requirements, but then again, the population was pretty tiny back then.

As a general rule. if you don't spend loveca, you can (just barely) get one SR as a point-based reward. You likely have to spend your free loveca to get the second SR, and you'll have to drop a shitton of cash to get the third (for a free skill level up or what have you). So yes, pay2win in the end, but it's not quite so bad if you only want to evolve. (URs though, goddamn.)

What's the best way to gain exp?

http://decaf.kouhi.me/lovelive/index.php?title=Songs

Pretty much any dungeon on hard, swimsuit episode song or later. In terms of lp-exp ratio that is.

Dont do if you cant manage 'c' or better though.

Unless you mean exp for each girl... I just make them may eat everyone i dont need. Leveling ip their food first doesnt seem to pay off.

edit: I think I got some of those super-rare normal girls with bad stats.
goto other, then album.. then it shows you a list of your girls.. and going from left to right their respective main stat grows each time, up to the 8th girl.. after her, you reach another row with stats more appropriate to about the 6th girls.
don't have any in the 10th row yet.

Also it seems to me that leveling up your girls just isn't that significant, if you want more stats, you're better off having duplicates of the better girls than bothering to level up the lower level ones.. so a "band" full of girl #7s and 8s along with your rares are the way to go IMO...Naturally you wanna bond up all the girls eventually for that free heart but once you do that, you may wanna consider hoarding the tier 7-8 girls, or simply not ever use them to feed others until you have enough to fill up your band.

Also, I've scout X 10 5 times now, still only that 1 rare. according to the dialogue box, drop rates are 5%, why am I shafted in this game too. whyyy.

Leveling to 30 gives you another stamina point. States raise differently- a lot of the worse girls gain a lot more stats than the good ones.

Also max leveled cards get you album points for love gems.

Also yeah that 5% is bullshit.

I dunno, looks like at level cap the higher "tier" (7 and 8 I was talking about before) normal girls stay better than lower ones (though they start, and end with 1 less hp if you want that, I'm only concerned with score atm).

Note though that the "tier" 9 that starts with the "tier" 6ish stats I mentioned earlier DOES grow much better and tops the "tier 8" normals at level cap..

And I already mentioned wanting to bond up all the girls for love gems (I called em hearts though cuz derp).

I meant more they gain more from leveling than 'better' girls.

:v

Edit: Regardless, that seems false too. I guess the girls were just later levelers or something? I don't really bother looking too deeply into this because it's completely moot, so that was just from what i've noticed.

Also, I'm not sure how you at all thought I was talking about max bond. Each max level unique girl counts towards an album reward that is a love gem, so it behooves you to max them anyway.

Actually I wasn't thinking about bond or level specifically, but you do bring up a point that I wish to correct. You actually get 1 love gem/heart token/wtf its called from level capping AND bond capping each girl I believe, sooo... do both with all at least once! Which is what I originally meant but didn't say at all cuz derp.

I just meant to say keep the "tier" 7 and 8 girls (until you get rares, or if you can cap "tier" 9s with little sacrifice) to fill up your teams if and when you care more about song score (for those S ranks) than whatever else... atm I don't have to worry and can 's' rank any red or blue song on easy. but even if I get like 117 perfects and 3 greats on a normal, I still only get a 'b'...and green songs are just plain doomed to 'c' no matter what I do.

Huh, I have idolized all the column 8 girls, and filling team spots with their drops, but only one non-idolized from column 9 and none from 10.

Have you noticed that in their profiles, they have a hobby listed, but almost none of them have a hobby that has anything to do with what they are holding in their portrait?  One girl is holding a flute. Hobby? Guitar.

No i havent but i did notice the sidestory thing says something about how they look.
So i just looked at the profile of the girl in a swimsuit and it says her hobby is taking walks. But i distinctly recall it saying she was born in a swimming pool and cant keep away during her side story.

This is outright wrong.

You only need to bond cap for the initial gem per girl- Max leveling just counts her for the album reward. Which is why I mentioned to level them all since that eventually need 25 for a gem.

It'll only take you 7 months to begin getting S on HD charts, and that's with UR friend partners, and of course you'll still be treated as a lower-class gaijin in score match events, so whatever free loveca you get will be worth even less :V

Anyway im told to try deletin the game from my cpu's itunes, then syncing my phone to it, then reinstallin on my pc, then syncing again.

Tht said i have yet to sync my phone to my pc in the first place since getting this game so im not sure if it will even be there to delete without syncing  first ruining he point.

If your thing is rooted/jailbroken, you could try to delete the save data manually... the only way this could go wrong is if the save data is actually stored server-side and it's tied to your device's ID of sorts.

Also, between this that and the other thing (PaD), I can spend more time on my phone than its battery can handle! Good thing I bought some extra charging cables.

Seriously though, it's entirely possible it deletes fine on androids but not iphones..cuz iphone magically knows what you WANT to delete, and keeps that, but deletes what you want to keep, even AFTER you waste 45 mins backing it up.. yep.

I used the scouting ticket and got a Hanayo, who is meh. No point really saving that since rates don't change and I wouldn't mind the chance of UR Nico.
And then I finished hard mode for the 7* songs. Got 1000 FP from that.
So I used those FP....and got 3 Rs out of those 10 rolls. They were all cool too, so that was a thing.

The nearest peak in HD notecount would be Start Dash at 350+, then peters out from there then picks up again near season 2 of the anime. Of course, it wouldn't really matter by then because that's when the Chou-EX charts start appearing too.

If you squint, it's kinda like what I'd imagine Im@s CG or Million Live to be like, right?  Says the guy who gave real thought to buying an Ipod Touch just to play Shiny Festa- wait, they're probably mucho cheap these days, right? 

I gotta read through this thread.  But yeah.  Praise to the based gods that pointed me at disabling the cut-ins, which also showed the calibration thing.  That may just help - also for Galaxy users, disable the super-sensitive glove mode.  I ruined potential perfects because of momentary fluctuations in my personal electromagnetic field being interpreted as touches.

Also, if you haven't already started, PLEASE start with Honoka. You only get to choose Smile-type Rares as your first character, so pick her because she has an autistic amount of Smile and will last you until lategame

I started with Kotori, and got Eri, Maki, Cool Hanayo, and Cool Eri via random free scouting.  I'm saving my Love Points for the bonus one.  How fucked am I?

The game does a very poor job of properly expressing Nico's majesty and rightful seat on the throne of Love Live, so I can't really blame you for having that reaction.  Needless to say she's probably the best character in any 2d idol comparison.

You're not actually "fucked" per se, it's just more worthwhile to start with Honoka because you'll have a much easier early game AND she'll last you until mid-lategame.

Before I embark on a larger strategy, I gotta know if I have it right - do I have this sequence correct?

-Acquire girls
-Idolize girls
-Feed idolized girls

Or should it be:

-Acquire girls
-Feed girls
-Idolize fed girls

Idolizing doesnt really do swuat beyond raise level cap and meet certain quest/bonus requirements.. So the order doesnt matter too much as long as you dont feed a non idol past her cap and waste te exp which is unlikely to happen by mistake.

Started two days ago. Starter was Nico because Nico.

When I don't get random freezes in the middle of playing a song it's pretty fun.  Cleared up to I think Snow Halation on Hard, it was enjoyable.  Gotta rank up so I can progress now.  Should probanlly get some Cool girls too since I don't have many, and none at any sort of decent level for me.

oh, that's...uhh...I'd say that's good but the normal REM seems to be "throw coal at ghaleon at all costs" as its default setting =P. Why must I like games that hate me, why.

At least it's not like PaD though where you can seemingly at least 'c' rank anything with even the crummiest of teams, and the benefits between s ranking and c ranking aren't enough to make me exclaim to the gods "whyyyy"

That is, Until you get to events.

We will not rank nor probably get enough points for anything worthwhile even spending gems without Rs.

Japanese games aren't typically creative.

Theres a reason PAD has literally a million clones when itself borrows a lot of concepts that are typical to mobage games.

Edit: Also me and conq apparently rank in the limits for getting the SR in the event on song rankings, so uh- apparently it might be easier to get the SR than we thought

More likely, however, they will adjust the ranking limits to be stricter.

Just food for thought. If someone in like 5000+ if it exists wants to scroll down as far as they can bear that'd be rad

Wait, how do these song ranking event things work? I'm confused.

I'm gonna quote what it says.

Quote
During this event, you will see special Rhythm icons with a "Macaron" attached in all of the songs played in Live Shows.
Tapping this icon earns you Macarons and Event Pts.
The B-Side song "Sweet & Sweet Holiday" which can be played using Macarons, will earn you more Event Pts. compered to the other regular Hits.
The amount of Event Pts. you gain from playing "Sweet & Sweet Holiday" will vary depending on your Score and Combo Rank

dunno what my ranking is but I have no doubt it's awful...that said my rank thing doesn't scroll below 10.
That's song ranking. Go to Other -> Ranking to see your total ranking

I think rank is bogus. I went from 15xx to 5xx in one song, then fell back down to 18xx after i spent all my LP, then logged and looking now i jumped back to 10xx while offline overnight.

Maybe 8000 people suddenly got disqualified.

You want to hear about something that's really pay2win? Marvle Puzzel Quest has limited-time missions, like the descend dungeons in PaD, that you can only play if you own a certain monster superherorvillain. For instance, there's one mission chain up right now that you have to have the 3* Daken (Wolverine's evil son) to start the chain. The same character is available in a 2* form, but that one is slightly different (and more common) so it doesn't count.
I'm ranked 5th highest in event points for that chain right now because I happened to roll him from the REM with a 2.4% chance, and another slight coincidence.

That guy and 4 other villains have their stats majorly boosted while playing those missions. Two of them are 2* and I had gotten them and kept both of those in my roster. Roster space gets pretty expensive, at about 15-20 heroes it costs about 2$ per extra slot (assuming you pay, which you don't have to but they're pretty stingy with the free points). So, I have 3 OP villains roflstomping the Xmen ...

except that healing guys is the main "free to wait" factor of this game (yes there are others too). So, if my guys take damage, I have to enter dungeons low on health, wait several minutes for them to heal, or use a medpack which recharges in 40 mins. If they take all their damage, there's an additional wait time while they resurrect.

This should make it obvious why expanding your roster makes it much much easier to play this game, but I'm tired and maybe should have posted this in a different thread.

Also, once I max the bonds of an Idolized member, is there any point in hanging onto her or should she become idol food?

Total of about 15ish pulls from the Normal box, got myself a second Muse member(Don't know how to type Greek characters so eh.)  I forget her name, but I think it was the girl with the long thick twintails.  Wouldn't mind Honoka showing up because I've looked at her, and as someone said, her Smile score is absolutely insane.  At least I can still A rank Easys of not-Smile type...Wonder when the next Smile attribute song will show up?  So far it's, IIRC, 1 Smile, 2 Pure, and 1 Cool.

Also my Scout Ticket gave me a second Nico, so now mine's Idol'd and stuff and like Lv. 23ish, which made me happy since I was expecting to get taunted about that for a while with pretty much every member BUT her showing up in Rares.

I should really level my characters up more, but the non-Rares seem like they gain SO little from it that it's feeling sort of futile...

Event rankings only update every hour or so, so the last few hours of the event are a frantic rush to secure a spot at least 1000 places above the minimum for your target reward, only to find out post-maintenance that you either:
1. Missed it anyway because everyone managed to grind more optimally than you, or
2. Overshot it so much that you regret using those last 5 loveca you hoped to save for the next event.

A more realistic explanation is everyone stopped holding onto their stones at the same time :v

Touche. But if you do see someone with 100k points about 3 days in, that's quite telling.

If you treat the title of 3 star as "rare" then yes. I just look at it at the angle of spending cash to get stuff that is more valuable/difficult to obtain in this game, where pad can (and often effing does) give you stuff that not only can you obtain without cashing, but is often something not even worth getting without cashing even with a reliable chance of obtaining them (mystic knights, golems, most healer girls, siggy, highlander, etc).

That said, I do like how pad does kinda let the player reliably obtain more powerful stuff later in the game without neccesarily getting lucky.. this game seems like ANYTHING other than a 1 star from scouting/lives is a damn miracle like getting siren from sea cave mercury or a vampire from castle of satan.

Someone else asked but there's no point saving friend points for the event right? events are always catering to honor scouting only right?

Oh yeah, that ashitaru banzaii song is god-awful (the sound I mean IMO), ugh it's painful to hear. Kinda sad that the current "final" song in the game sounds the worst by far IMO.

Not sure, but  I think it's likely you wanna hold of rare scouting at least until we get an event that caters to it (jpn gets ones that guarantee at least one super rare from time to time).

Despite the fact I'm "further" in my new game than my original, I'm still effing missing a normal girl (the "tier" 9 normal blue), and only have got 1 of quite a few, preventing me from idolizing them (tier 8 and 7 normal smile girl comes to mind).

I hope our first event song thing isn't blue cuz I still have no blue rares qq.

The first order, assuming they keep what we expect and launch in order JP got them- will be Pure, then Cool, then Smile iirc.

Repeating earlier question: once I've idolized and bond-maxed a normal girl, is there any reason to keep her around if I need to feed the beasts that are my core idols?

I don't think there's an event that makes friend eggs any different.

There are achievements for max-leveling each idol bond girl, but I don't know if it's worth leveling them before your core girls.

Keep one of each, max level them so you can claim your 1 love gem, then trash all but the final tier of normals since they're not that bad, but get rid once you have better idols

Is there a cap on the amount of friend points you can get? I've been saving up friend points just in case there's some event, but I'm not sure if there's really any point in doing so.

Nope. (Funny story, I had 33k FP once, and I used them all in the process of maxing a whole slew of new normals and my latest SR Pure Nozomi.) There's not really much point in saving them because normal recruitment never really changes, unless you're preparing for repeated tries at getting the latest normals, as they become harder and harder to get.

Oh, hey. I rolled two rares.

The gachas making up in spades!

also wonderful rush was weird and i'm still not sure how i beat it.

I got one more too!

After 50 pulls...

It was cool kotori though! Ok sure her stats arent too great but she's turbo cute! Id prob have picked her 2nd to niko.

Hoo boy, just got to my first 7* song.  Kinda scared.  Oh well, let's see how terribly this goes!

At least Mermaid Festa Vol. 1 is catchy~

EDIT:  Holy crap, that one part was intense...but other than that it was easy enough.  Wish I woulda remembered to have Idol!Nico in the team at the time to get her Bond maxed.  Oh well, I've got some nice Exp. earning potential here, so I might give it one more go, or maybe do that 1, 2 ,3 Jump or whatever it was.

I find 1,2, jump to be really darn easy even on hard. The only part that sometimes gets me is th part where you have to let go of a held note and mash a diff note at the same time and start a new held note auickly after like 4 times... But even that isnt too hard after i learned it was at the same time (held notes are kinda confusin to me in terms of actualy musical rythm in this game because the timing for their end doesnt seem to be as easy to tell by listenig alone as any note's start... So i have to watch them carefully instead o playing by ear, and doing that when 3 notes happen all at once made me panic until i was comfortable with it.

Rankings are weird. They tend to change between your all time score added and your score total from today. Also, that is annoying but doesn't really affect much once you're used to the song

My rings do not seem to have issues with their trajectory being changed at all. However sometimes the game randomly says good or bad on one i know was fine, often in the middle of a series with a constant rhythm so if i was my iwn mistake you would think all of my presses before or after would consistantly be off but its like perfect, perfect, perfect, bad, perfect... And im like wdf i didnt twitch or sneeze or anything... Doesnt happen very often though. Maybe like once every 5 songs. Most of my eff ups are legitimate eff ups.

I bit at the bait and threw 5 love points at a single honor student scouting and got the same R pure Maki that I got from friend points.  Instant idolization and now I gotta take my nutbladder back into the shop again. 

Also I realized that throwing idol kibble directly into the gaping maws of my core R and up leads/skill bearers may be less efficient than feeding the kibble to other kibble first, I think.  Or does it not matter what level the fodder is at when I feed them, just that they feed the beasts? 

I guess my question is this:

Low-levels direct to the worthy, or low-levels to low-levels, and THEN to the worthy?

Unless feeding the level 1 to a level 1 gives it enough levels so that it gives an extra 120+ exp, feed them all directly

Post by: Ghaleon on May 26, 2014, 03:48:12 PM
In the name of science i checked this over.. A red level 1 was fed to another red level 1. The 120 exp boosted her to level 5. Now she can be fed for 162 exp... Not even effing close to being worth it. So yeah, just feed everything you dont need as you get them.

I've entered SIF in my life without a deep familiarity to Love Live!, so I went and just picked up Maki according to aesthetics and voice. ...Seems we have alot in common, at least from the picked-up initial character. o-o;

Saving up my Friendship pts and Loveca / Love Gems for potential newer cards. Also not playing the side-stories to not get them Lovecas for just-in-case accidental Loveca usage.

Dont get it. Is diva notorious for oddly placed held notes too?
Anyway i did it this time. Its funny, some songs are easier to play by ear, and some are easier if i just ignore the button and mash the screen when i see rings. Oddly enough it took me more than 2x as many tries to s-rank yujo no change than mermaid fest. I kept playing it by ear and it has a couple rings in a pattern that are out of place where the music has no such similarity. So as soon as i just played by eye instead i got it.
 
Mermaid fest is easy i you play by ear but afterthe "hard" part i have to use my eyes to catch a couple hold notes instead of tapping them by reflex.

Also. I finally s-ranked my first normal in score. Yay. I still c rank hards with full combo runs though qq.

Post by: PX on May 30, 2014, 09:59:51 PM
Advice for the event:

1: Set your main group to highest pure, simple enough. The song is Pure so you want a decent Pure team to get on top of the song rankings. Make sure your team is full bonded and if you have any idols that are not pure on your team, put them on the far left and right. This is important for scoring purposes.
2: Generally you get Macarons = LP spent on the song if you hit all the Macaron notes. Exceptions are the 15 LP Hard songs, you get 16 Macarons when you play them so pick your favorite one and farm it :V
3: You get more event points the higher your score rank and combo is on the event song, so you want to S score and Full Combo it for maximum event points.
4: Practice the song with this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9eZUJusDGw). You don't want to waste event points failing it
5: Have fun!

Wait what. It actually matters what group we set as main? I just thought main only meant you didnt have to scroll for that team when you select what team to use, and also it makes the lead your friendslist person others see.

I've had the game crash on me twice today, once just as I cleared the event song for the first time taking my macarons and giving me nothing because of it :/


Anyway, couple questions if you don't mind (I haven't searched the thread or wiki much)

-Any point to accepting friend requests other than the bonus 5 friend points? You get so few spaces I just ignore them :shrug:  I assume friends pop up more commnly so if they have a good main idol then it'd be useful?

- A few days ago I stopped getting the daily 3 "new player bonus" loveca. Just wondering if it stopped altogether or if not, then at which point did it stop? (Since I don't quite recall)

Edit: oh, and how do I buy macarons? I got the option before I got some from a song but now I can't remeber or find it.

Friends always show up, so if you find someone with a UR, consider yourself lucky if they're on your friend list.

Daily 3 loveca stones is only for the player's first 10 days. New player bonus and all that.

You only get Macarons by playing, now start spending Loveca to recover that LP! :V

Ayone else getting these? First one was just immediately after the update. The app just minimises and I'm sent to the iPad dashboard thingy. Bring it back up and it just loads up like it wasn't open before.
No error messages either.

The last picture your iPad has for SIF makes it look like it's only minimized, but it's not. I think, it's probably...a crash that its crash catcher didn't catch, or something. :<

Advice for the event:
[...]
4: Practice the song with this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9eZUJusDGw). You don't want to waste event points failing it
5: Have fun!
Uwaah, that 2nd technical/tricky, dual dual-notes in 1:36 (link starts at 1:30 though to give some context) (http://youtu.be/l9eZUJusDGw?t=1m30s) is a killer!
Actually, most of the dual dual-notes are killers if you miss which dual-notes to press first, so might as well get used to it. =w=;

Thank you for the song video linky, and the other advices!

I love Mermaid Festa's beat and how the notes are synched with the song, so eh~<3 =//w//=

Event Song Score Ranking counts easy and normal as well :/
Just do them each once and get your free 500 FP
If you're unable to clear Hard consistently then just farm Normal, the difference isn't too bad but at least you're not wasting Macarons

Post by: Ghaleon on May 31, 2014, 08:08:36 AM
Getting srank score and combo is fairly easy on normal for me, which is worth 140 event points. Thats 70 event points per 15 macroons. No matter what though i cannot hope to accomplish better than a 'B' on hard, and even if i s combo hard ill only get 0.66 more event points per 15 macroons over doing normal... Given i suspect i will not s combo hard very often (and even if i did just like one or two mistakes ever will make it not worth it), spamming normal looks like the right choice for me!

Also 6 stars my ass. Its way harder than all the other songs on hard..

Im starting to think gettig anything from this event is hopeless. I only have 500ish points and ive pretty much not wasted a single lp. I even woke up at 5am to not overflow my lp =\

Incidentally was this the first event jpn had too? Cuz im wondering how our popularion compares to jpn's service. If it was na only id imagine i would be smaller but if it includes the phillipines and such too, I think we might actually have far more during our game's age compared to jpn's when THEY did this event, yet the rank reauirements are about 4x more exclusive.

If you check the rankings on event points it says they're about 16k players on the EN version, so it's a fraction of the JP and even the Taiwan version
Also,  somebody already reached 11k for the SR Kotori, 25 loveca spent on refreshing LP and no money

Might as well just feed them to increase skill level I guess. Multiples of the same character could be useful to fill out a team of a specific type if you don't have enough idols.

While I already have that pat memorized, it seems I've been caught off guard with the dual dual-notes in the last second of the song. Twice! >w>;;

B Score A Combo is more value than S/S normal, so if you can't do that constantly stick to normal
Do you mean B Score S Combo? 'w'
 - S/S Normal gave me 140.
 - B/A Hard gives 206 based on the image you supplied, while
 - B/S Hard gave me 212.
Kinda like a difference of 2 pts. I tend to panic though, so might as well go for the consistent S/S Normal. *still goes for Hard because it's fun!*

Meanwhile, wow, just a little more and I could've gotten A over here. orz
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v380/Chococloud/IMG_6666.png)
Coincidentally, my iPad screenshot has named this screenie as IMG_6666.jpg. :V
My total team pts was...more or less 52,689 not including friend boost yet when I played this, just to give you an idea.

...Huh. Yeah, it doesn't say exactly how much pts are needed to achieve the song's score ranks.

EDIT: Just scored 115,025 on Hard and it's STILL NOT A rank..! I thought A rank was 115,000. ;w;
Also Got killed by the last dual dual-notes again on this run, what ish wrong with me orz.

Normal being boring is pretty much why I use my macarons on hard instead of normal even though I'm tanking my efficiency. I found that using the video PX linked a page(?) back for practice was really useful.

Oh, and just for hilarity sakes.

The current event has ~26000 players with the top 200 getting 2 SRs. This comes out to around .75%
The JP event had ~500000 (it was a 500k player special) with the top 1200 getting 2 SRs, or ~.25%
We're getting 3x as much SRs percentage wise :V

Eeyup.

The point-based SR prize was always 11k, then jumped to 12k at some point. Score match prize is 25k, but that's because you get points directly from LP... not that it's any less pay2win.

Yeah, they named the title of the episode "kokoro no melody" and it was snowing when they were doing their little word circle at the end using all of the themes of snow halation and still some people were like "MAYBE IT'S MOGYUTTO" last week

11k isn't that hard if you're dedicated. Just use the loveca you get during the event

If you're saving Loveca for the 50+1 roll, then it's better to be outside the top 1000 in song scoring because Loveca is more useful than 1 free roll :V

They better do it... not just for the obvious reasons, but I'll feel so cheated if I've been keeping all these love tokens for nothing, cheating myself from much higher scores due to having rares galore, and maybe even the odd SR/UR

Just got a R Smile Hanayo drop from S Combo node on Love and Peace. Judging from this, I should stop hoping for friend point rares and just grind S combos on hard for rares. The drop rate might be better lol.

Post by: Massaca on June 03, 2014, 11:20:32 AM
Currently at 5363 pts. so should well be able to get the 11k SR Kotori. Currently not far from <1000 rankings but it changes drastically from low 1000's to mid 2000's so no idea with that but I think the event ends sometime between 9-11 pm here so that would be nice. Though I'm also assuming it's gunna get pretty tough to keep up towards the end. I wonder how many loveca I'd need to spend to get in the top 1000, hmm. Kinda wish the rankings updated a bit more frequently :/ That's one of the main things I'm worried about, not really being able to tell where I stand when the time comes and wasting loveca pointlessly.

Is this some new thing or something? I haven't got any rares from S-comboing hard songs, unless you're talking about the 1000 friend points you get from doing it for the first time.

Sometimes (I don't know how rare) you'll get a rare drop instead of a normal after you complete a song. I'm guessing it only happens if you get an S Combo or S Score but I have no way of confirming this. I know Polaris and PX have had rares drop like this.

I got a smile nico as a song drop, but I'm not sure if it was an S combo or not, and was pretty much definitely not an S score.

From what I know, better ranks = better drops, but usually you're going to get lv9-13 Ns.

Also, honor rolls are RNG partly based on time, so not all that reliable unless you can game it somehow.

Yeah, just from observation there's a small chance of getting a rare from an S Combo or an S Score. This is the list of what's I've seen for myself or heard from someone else:

Bokura no LIVE - R Smile Honoka
Snow halation - R Cool Honoka
Natsuiro Egao - R Smile Nico
Love and Peace - R Smile Hanayo
sweet&sweet holiday - R Pure Kotori

My guess is that each song is configured to drop only one type of rare. Honoka is the center for Bokura no LIVE and Snow halation, while Nico is the center for Natsuiro Egao, so it makes sense why they come from those songs, and Kotori makes sense coming from the Kotori event song. Love and Peace is a B-side so Hanayo might have been arbitrarily chosen? The attribute seems to be just based off the attribute of the song.

If this is true then Mogyutto should drop R Pure Honoka and Wonderful Rush should drop R Cool Kotori, since they're the centers for their respective songs, but I haven't seen confirmation yet.

Edit: Just looked it up on a JP wiki and the rare card(s) for each song are listed on this page (http://xn--eck5eb7eb.gamerch.com/%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%96%E5%A0%B1%E9%85%AC). That makes things easier!

Just got my first Rare from a song, the lv.09 Cool Kotori from Wonderful Rush S combo. Quite a nice surprise when it popped up since I wasn't paying attention and was just skipping through.


Edit: Uh actually, when you finish a song are the circles that flip for your reward always sorted with combo as the second one and score as the third? Or does it put whichever is highest as the third?
Cause only just realised that my Kotori was in the third slot and in the last two songs I did it had combo second and score third and I but they both had the same rank for combo and score so I have no idea if it's always like that.

Yeah i got nico from swimsuit episode song and it was like my worst run ever cuz i was playing while watching addresses on the street in a car (no i wasnt driving it). So i got like a 'c' for combo and score and got nico anyway. S-rank anything is most definately not required.

I want green kotori, i like baby maybe too so thats a bonus, hopefully ill nab her. Too bad i cant farm that now without losing out on macarons since it isnt a 15lp hard

Either that, or they have been storing their macarons.
I've been storing mine (currently 435), and if I ever use them all now, assuming constant A Rank-S Combo, I'm going to jump from Rank 4.3k to 2k. >w<

What's your pure score? Mine is around 30k and I can comfortably A-Rank as long as I refresh till I find a random with UR Hanayo set as their main leader, even with null Combo.
Pardon, I just posted the Sum of the Smile/Pure/ >.<
Pure points that time was 23,550. Now that I've leveled a few of them a little more though, I can Rank A Hard no sweat with 24,527 Pure pts + Pure drastic increase skill (sum of 28,220). =w=

I must be lucky having a friend with...umm...I-dunno-who-this-is UR Pure idol. =w=

I love Mermaid Festa's beat and how the notes are synched with the song, so eh~<3 =//w//=
Too bad my Cool team has the lowest points, though that doesn't matter for this event.
...Scratch that, I couldn't even Rank B because my Cool idols' stats are rather low. So I'm going to do either Mogyutto or  Jump to reach Rank B.
Reason: Rank C Hard gives 1000 coins, Rank B gives 2000. I have the feeling I'm going to need that extra 1000 for later cannibali---err, idol mass-leveling.

I'm now rank 850ish, yay. I wonder if maintaining my newfound <1000 position will be easier or harder than getting there... on one hand people might be spending lp for a mad dash to stay under 1000 at the last day. But on the other hand people might stop bothering/caring after they reach 11k event points.

Also is there a way to see individual song rank for the event? I can't see anything other than the top 20, yet there are rewards for like up to 4000 or something. Can't wait for this event to end, I want a SR! Speaking of SRs, I noticed SR smile nico is...well..kinda awful. She's like barely any better than her regular counterpart, with like less than 100 more stats, meanwhile other super rares tend to have like 500ish more stats. She does have a better lead passive, but so do all the other SRs.

Go to the event page from the home page, go to Event Ranking, second drop down bar on the top lets you switch between Event Ranking and Event Song Ranking. Then the third drop down bar lets you switch between Top 1, Yours, 200/1000/etc.

So I found out thru experimentation that happy holiday hard is worth doing instead of normal with the addition of SR kotori. Thank the goodness since it's more fun, slightly more rewarding, and takes less time chowing down macarons. Haven't managed to S-rank it yet, I keep flubbing up at around note 200 or so (210 is my max combo).
My song rank for hard when I just tried it once without sr kotor was 7063 (edit: 3482 now, yay)... can't wait to see how high it gets after it updates.

That said overall event ranking.. looks like the number of people turning on afterburners far far outweighs those who are taking it easy after reaching 11000 points. Getting to 11000 and even rank 1000 for the first time was relatively easy even without spending hearts.. now I've spent 4 and I'm struggling just to stay below 1000th.

I'm too casual to get Kotori Doesn't help my sister had the Ipad for homework will recently either

I told myself just to have fun with the game, so I'm just doing hard regardless of whether I die or not.

I'm just gonna confirm my Top 1000 and be happy with it. It was worth spending stones earlier to bulk up my score so I don't have to rush the next 2 days.

According to the rankings, which may or may not be current, I'm at 1091. Haven't spent any stones yet so I'm still not sure if I will. I'd love the extra Kotori to transform her as her expression annoys me >_>
Wouldn't want to spend more than 10 at the most but I feel that won't be enough.
Oh hi there PX.

Man am I glad I'm playing this one very casually.  Sounds like quite the bloodbath.

 A shame I barely played and never had a shot at the SR Kotori, but she's not one of my faves anyway so whatever.

Well i kinda wanna be casualish too but figured i better make a solid effort for at least the first few events because they ARE vietually free super rares. I mean for all the effort it takes its still far far less than blowing 55 hearts for an 10+1 during an event with a sr that we may not even get (i know you can get without the event but i anticipate this game to burn me with bad luck like so many others). Then once i HAVE a couple super rares, i can be more competative in future events for less effort with my op SRs =p.

I mean just getting sr kotori made me go from gettig a 'c' for score in happy holiday to A, plus her off stats are pretty effing good too, and shes one of my best girls for all 3 colours!

Also getting the 11000 point one is no biggie, i just want mine idolized cuz not sure if ill ever get to again.

Don't forget to login at least once between now (8am GMT+8 or 0:00 UTC) and the next 24hrs! It's Nozo---oh, beat me to it. -w-;
Gold multiplier ended just now as well. -3-

Meanwhile, I'm doing an experimentation for myself and set SE Volume to zero.
...It sounds & feels nicer to play without the chimes~ ?D, although I think you have to adjust the in-game's timing to maybe in-between -14 and -8, since the chimes tend to be sounded late after you tap a note, thus making you want to tap on the note beforehand. ...or something. I prolly have not explained it nicely orz.

You can turn off the chimes when you hit the notes by going into Sounds options and turn off sound effects

I agree, but on the other hand, when you hit a 'Great' the dissonance is extremely irritating.

:toot: for Nozomi, but this also means everyone gets an extra 5 loveca to pump into event points.

Uh, that's what I just did, hence the setting SE volume to zero. o-o

I'm liking the no chime sound effect because I like synching my button tapping with the beats of the music, not the rhythm that the chimes trains my brain to follow. The rings/notes timing eems to be set slightly earlier than the actual beats in the music. Of course I had to adjust notes by more or less -8 to -14 to get that music beats synch.

...though I guess the beats & tapping synch depends on one's preference, if you want your exact tapping to be in synch with the beats of the music, or in synch with when you hear the chimes w/c is heard to be exact on the music beat because the chime plays on its highest volume milliseconds later than your actual tapping.

I agree, but on the other hand, when you hit a 'Great' the dissonance is extremely irritating.
Another thing I'm trying to avoid with my no-chime play. -w-

Probably depends on what you'd replace with your 2nd, and its prob better to have 2 in most cases. But i idolized mine personally just cuz completion =p.

Then again idolized one has 2x the bond cap, which i dont know if i does anything other than unlock story when full. But someone earlier in this thread linked some scoring guide which seemed to indicate bond was somehow important, yet never stated how it was so.

Your bonds of idols with the same attribute as the song are added to their stats, so higher bonds = more points

if I didn't feel like I don't want to put in the effort for ranking, I'd be sad about the roll I did earlier.

Oh wonderful, I could use the SR Umi since I have no SR/UR blues :/ Hopefully I won't have to buy any loveca for it, shall soon see what will be required.

Roughly, if you can S Score the event song on hard, always do hard. I've heard the thresholds are not that strict for this song.

Also, S rank hard is around 120k, extremely easy to get without any SRs

Hmm..on my first try, I got an A in score and no combo, I wonder if I could improve that with time. I wish I could migrate my account back to my Ipad without spending stones. The game seems to be easier on it.

Post by: Ghaleon on June 18, 2014, 04:21:02 AM
yeah, last event's song was only 6 stars on hard and its difficulty blew the socks off everything that was 7 or 8.
stars mean squat.

that said this new song DOES look hard on hard..for me anyway. My weakness is being distracted and not letting go of a hold note at the appropriate time, and this song just loves tossing you unrelated notes at ALMOST but not quite the same time as when you let go of the held notes, screws me so bad.

Is it just me, or is the points for a S ridiculously low on this song? I had 14 combo breaks on my first try and still almost got an S... with no cool SRs and three not-cools on the team.

Yeah my blue team has my 2 green SRs, two normal rarity girls, 3 3 star cools, and 2 4 star blues... And only one (3 star) of my blue rares are actually blue strong, the russian girl. The rest are off colour like nico, kotori, honoka, etc.

Despite that i can get an S no matter what pretty much using PX's UR.

So, as is typical my first try of the event song on hard I get 2 good's and 2 bad's with A combo. Second try I get 3 and 2 with a B combo. Third try I bloody well get 3 good, 2 bad and 2 miss with a C combo  :fail:

I read somewhere that difficulty is a measure of how fast the notes come at you, not how hard the note spread actually is.

I was pallning on ranking 1k for the first 2-3 events but this one seems to be far more difficult than the last in terms of how hard the masses are trying. Combine that with the fact that I have an unreasonable hatred for bunny ears/tails/costumes (even made a large thread about that like 4 years ago or something) and do not want!

I might be able to get something decent from this since I decided I might actually try, though I'm not sure...depends on how much I remember to play during the event.  I don't wanna spend gems to do it though since I want a 11 pull eventually...  I could really use the Umi since my Cool team is a good bit weaker than my Smile and Pure ones.

Ask PX to be your friend. Always use PX or some other Cool UR when you play the event. I think you only need ~30k Cool before friend bonus to get S Score if you don't fail the song, maybe a bit less.
Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBFosqjFlzc but don't worry about combo, you can get S Score with no/C Combo anyway.

This.

If not everyone in a given team is of a certain element, you'll have to rearrange them so the ones with elements that don't match are positioned in the lanes with the least notes. KouhiLLwiki has notecounts for most of the events IIRC

The only thing the leader affects is the leader ability, which is based off of rarity(R, SR, UR), and score is based on the team total with a 1.1x bonus for same color so position doesn't matter unless they're a different color than the song

It kind of does in that idolising raises the level cap (10 for N, 20 for R/SR/UR) for more stats. Otherwise, no. It doesn't affect the passive at all.

Speaking of passives, you should keep refreshing the support list until you find someone with an appropriate UR. I know, I'm a butthole :C

Why those three? I'm guess because they get the most cool points?

Alright, request sent.

Ask PX to be your friend. Always use PX or some other Cool UR when you play the event. I think you only need ~30k Cool before friend bonus to get S Score if you don't fail the song, maybe a bit less.
Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBFosqjFlzc but don't worry about combo, you can get S Score with no/C Combo anyway.

Does the UR rarity affect anything besides possible amount of cool points. I sent a request to another UR Umi, but it was lvl 29, would it have been worth using over a maxed out/bonded SR Umi?


Lastly, looking at the note distribution, would it be a good idea to replace my normal idol with my third SR Honoka and put the Honokas in the A,E, and I spots?

A lot more. Lv.1 Maki and Umi are 2950 and 2900, as opposed to Lv.40 Nico and Nozomi at 3000 and 2970. And Eli is another 100 points above Maki. Just better to level up the better ones more first since you'd use them longer.

Either a UR Nico or a SR cool type of anyone would be nice eventually, assuming the old URs are in there at all right now.  I just want a decent Cool score. 

To be honest, ANY SRs would be nice though since I have exactly zero of them.

Just my one sr from the last 10+1, and my idolized event kotori..but those are the only 2 sr's I have, and they both are green. so if I only get one sr again with the next 10+1, and IT is green too.. imma be sad...Mostly because the next time I'll get enoguh hearts to 10+1 a 3rd time will be far far far longer than these last 2. since you get alot more hearts starting out than you do once you already have S's everywhere, a near full bonus album, no more daily *3 hearts, etc, etc.

Ah...I'm in a similar boat, only my SRs are pink instead. I had to dump all my stones(24 at the time) so I could move my account to my phone. If I get Umi, I'll have two colors covered. Still need a UR cool card to overwork the heck out of though (200 bunnies stocked up so far.)

Oh, and just for hilarity sakes.

The current event has ~26000 players with the top 200 getting 2 SRs. This comes out to around .75%
The JP event had ~500000 (it was a 500k player special) with the top 1200 getting 2 SRs, or ~.25%
We're getting 3x as much SRs percentage wise :V

Now we apparently have 200k but its still the top 200 only for us, making that exactly the top 0.1%
Now THEY get 3x more...
Of course jpn has been on longer so there are likely far more inactive accounts padding their overall users # but still.

At least Wild Stars is fun. Currently doing Mermaid Festa over and over and it's kinda dull so I've been playing it with just one hand which makes it slightly more interesting, almost got an S combo just now but my brother was talking to me and I got distracted at the end missing one >_>
Also sitting on 1232 bunnies since I can't be bothered playing the event song yet.

At least Wild Stars is fun. Currently doing Mermaid Festa over and over and it's kinda dull so I've been playing it with just one hand which makes it slightly more interesting, almost got an S combo just now but my brother was talking to me and I got distracted at the end missing one >_>
Also sitting on 1232 bunnies since I can't be bothered playing the event song yet.


Question: is there a limit to the amount of presents you can have in the present box? I know it stops counting at 99 but will it fill?

I can't S combo Mermaid Festa. :( Why not play others, all of the 15 cost ones give you the same stuff.

I *really* hope this is enough keep me in the Top 200. I still have the SR Event Umi to grab to raise my Cool score a bit, but I feel like I'm starting to plateau in terms of score improvement.

Ok I'm almost convinced that UR Umi is some seriously bad ****ing juju. Event song on hard, S combo several times in a row with SR Umi's so I start using UR Umi's and the next 7-ish I get 1 A combo, several B's and 2 C's. Switch back to an SR Umi and get an S combo whilst being talked to for most of the song thus being distracted. Back to UR Umi's B, S!, A, C, B, B. Use an R Kotori, S. And so on for a little bit >_<
Well, I'm only half serious about the bad luck thing at least.

Anyway, spent all my bunnies tonight and got 39 hard plays from them gaining about 10,000 event points and my SR Umi whom very quickly went up to lv.60. Also accidentally got in the top 1000 for the score ranking after getting my SR Umi and a rare S combo with a UR putting me to 180,000. I'd have prefered the 3 loveca over the scouting card, maybe 500 people will get ahead >_>

Because the Japanese version came out over a year ago, and the wiki was already up for quite some time before the english version came out so why change for something that's extremely far behind? There's a english version wiki that's linked there.

I'm also terrible at this song with my best (of 8 plays) being 20 Good's, 4 Bad's and 2 Misses, with 153 combo haha.
Really, really fun song though. Too bad it's only a daily one :/

How do these daily songs work? Will the cycle just keep repeating or will there be breaks when it reaches the end or something?

Maybe I need to restart it a bit more often. I never close it as it is >.>

^Heh, similar to me, took me 36 plays to S-combo it. And not long after that I finally S-combo'd Soldier Game at 35 plays 1-up-ing it.
For whatever reason I just could not get the hold notes just past the A-combo point right and when I finally did, the next few I was messing up other parts which had been fine every time ::) It's all fine now though.

As for new normals, got 2 of the Pure girl and 1 of the Cool girl plus 2 of the remaing 4 second R's I needed in the first 6000 but then it took another 10,000 to get a second of the Cool N at which point it gave me two in the one draw.
Also got an Ultra Success on a 4000 xp practice for idolised event Nico (panda?) so that was neat.

Fuck I still can't stop playing this game. :V Being a casual player I'm having a lot more fun than I expected (and more than I'd like to admit). I always loved music-based games and this one has held my interest so far. The only thing that bothers me is I don't know if I'm playing the "right" way in terms of the card-collecting aspect of the game. I just hope there isn't a ton of "do this or you're screwed in higher ranks" aspects.

Today I did a 10x regular scouting and got 2 rares. On top of that they were smiles (my weakest attribute by far) and one was a triplicate so I'm planning on using it as a skill-up at a later time. I'm honestly shocked that that worked out so well considering the only smile I got from my only 10+1 draw was a SR Rin; meanwhile I got 5 cool and pure rares each.

Post by: Conqueror on July 21, 2014, 09:55:01 PM
If you're playing casual and don't care about score then iirc there's nothing to get wrong with card collecting other than getting rid of cards you meant to keep. :V All cards do is give higher score with better rarity anyway.

(If you do care about score, then never idolize a card until you can fill the spot with another card of equal or better score. That's all I can think of really, this game is pretty straightforward. Don't forget to idolize and max bond your normals until you've gotten the free loveca for each normal etc. If you want you can also max level them for the album rewards that come really slowly as well.)


Anyway, too many new songs. My S Combo backlog is filling up. ;-;

Post by: Massaca on July 22, 2014, 08:33:17 AM
The part that keeps getting me that I recall most often is in the 150-159 combo mark (http://youtube.com/watch?v=S95iuHiKDMI), so just after the hold. I guess my timing has just been slightly off for it every time. The rest of the song shouldn't be an issue for me but I have had a Good a couple times somewhere near the beginning and didn't even notice until 15-20 notes after.
And this one time where I got through I got the Good at some point in the series of holds at the end, heh. Finally managed to get the S Score though, 2 minutes of reloading for a green UR.

The most annoying part is that I'm loosing more time from 1, 2 Jump! Which I feel is going to be really hard for me and I have no intention of putting Loveca into this event unless I really need to to reach the 12,000 mark.

Edit: ah dammit PX, new highest combo of 335 with 2 Goods at the start haha.


Edit 2: Finally got it >_> Lot of plays though :/

Everything is ****ing broken.

First the game breaks during a play of the event song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnzzv28paXA) (and no, I have no idea how I managed to mess up a note on the easiest song ever >_> maybe when it messed up, iunno).

Then reloading it I get a data retrieval screen for about 10 minutes with no resolution (http://i.imgur.com/MlZNFdh.jpg) so I close the app.

iTunes updater thingy is broken so i can't connect my phone to my pc. Reinstalling it didn't fix anythin. iTunes download on the website is broken, tried on 2 different computers.

Can't upload it to youtube from my phone.

Load up the game on my iPod, same data retireval screen and same result.

Load it up on my iPad again and it decides to go in fine, thankfully.

Anyway, all annoyed like but ai guess this event had to find a way to screw me out of a bunch of hearts from a song play like every other even so far :shrug:

Yes, the leader of your main formation is your "main" leader. Really all that affects is who talks to you out of lives and who your friends/other players can use as a "guest" during lives. Other than that it makes no difference as you can select your team right before every song.

Also keep in mind that your first main is simply a Rare Smile and you'll get a lot of rares over time. Heck my first main was Smile Hanayo and I've already gotten 3 of her somehow. After this Honoka event I believe is another 10+1 event where you get a guaranteed SR minimum with a 10+1 draw, so save your love gems for that.

Have fun.

So, spent about 1.9 million gold today (and last night) levelling everyone up. 400,000-ish of it just on the UR Nico. And I got my present backlog down from around 1200 to 349, and that was a pain scrolling to the end of the list every time.  Though I still need another 1 of #70 and 76 and 2 of #74. Should've done them at the time before scrapping them but oh well.

Had good luck with the 2 new N's though. Got both idolised with 4 draws and I got the second R Smile Hanayo I needed.

Still need another R Pure Nozomi though :/

Perfect lock per x rhythm notes seems really great for the harder songs.
If it kicked in at the right times, sure pretty good but if I hadn't gotten an S Combo on a song and this saved me and got it for me I'd hate that. Would feel like cheating. IMO it's just a cheap effect to have *shrug*


Well I got the same UR from my reward ticket. Wish it was Maki though.

Pray to Klab and hope your money blesses you with all the URs

Srs advice though, save your Loveca gems for either 10+1 rolls after events or use them on events for your favorite idols. Currently it requires at least a dozen loveca to even think about reaching tier 1 for events, so have fun. And never do single rolls. Just don't

^I've been dreading those due to my lack of SR's and UR's :ohdear:

This event, 1200 points between rank 500 and 1000 as of like half an hour-ish ago I think. I was at 503 and got an extra 550 points but waiting for the results is so tense...
It's gunna really suck if I end up at like 1001 or something. TBH I'm kinda expecting it.

Edit: huh, well I ended up at 445 which is a lot better than I expected, still only 1300 point difference from the 1000 mark but yeah, thought everyone would have gone up more. Anyway, cool.

And yay new EX songs.

Get ready for your Kayochins. Also, this event will be the first one to feature the EX version of the event song and the 4x (Costs 4x tokens, gives 4x event points) version later in the event so you can hoard all those tokens and not play the song 40 times in a row

Edit: Also, they ran out of unit songs so prepare your ears for some NicoRinPana (I actually like the song)

Post by: Massaca on August 20, 2014, 04:07:09 AM
Hmm, well I was thinking about it but I don't know exactly how many points I had at the end of the Ericchi event. I'd guess around 26,200 maybe? (95 plays of the event song on hard with like 80 of them being S/S) which put me at 445-ish with about 1300 difference between me and the 1000 mark... which isn't far off.

Throughout this event if I use 20 loveca, use every LP and gain 5 levels (I'm about to level up at the beginning of the event) I could get about 290 Hard song plays so about 4640 event tokens and assuming average of S/A for 227 points per hard play and 103 plays with it not crashing on me >:{ 23,400 points. So 28,000 with like 8 or 9 loveca left gained from the event rewards and getting a couple songs to 100 plays if I need them.

So judging solely from the previous event it should be enough...
But how popular is Kayo-chin?! I haven't the slightest idea or if it'll even be comparable to the last one so *shrug*

Whatevs. Guess I'll find out towards the end and see how many extra to put in. Should be prepared though.

From what polls I've seen, she's the least popular. Makes me kind of sad since she was my starter, but understandable given that the anime
gave her just about 0 character development in comparison to the rest of the cast.
* To be honest I probably wouldn't have taken her if I marathoned both seasons first rather than choosing her after like 5-6 episodes.

*Spoiler for safety

I can't believe it but I'm debating actually trying for the guaranteed SR through accumulated points this time. I always stop playing after a couple of days so the best I've ever gotten was ~2k on Honoka's event. My motivation pretty much goes away when I realize that I barely have the skills and cards to do a Normal S/S which means that my points feel like they accumulate very slowly. According to this chart (http://decaf.kouhi.me/lovelive/index.php?title=Gameplay#Token_Collecting_Event), it's not worth trying on Hard unless I can guarantee at least a B/S, which is way out of my league.

Out of curiosity (and boredom) I did a spreadsheet and, assuming I go for it, I'm looking at over 100 songs total (non-event + event) to accumulate the points needed to get the SR. This is assuming I do nothing but 15 LP songs for tokens (16/song) and consistently earn at least an Normal-difficulty A/A on the event song during the 4x. I honestly don't know if I'm going to have the free time to do such a thing even if I wanted to. Then again, if the cutoffs end up similar to Honoka's event, succeeding would also place me only ~2k-2.5k points shy of the top 4000 (scouting ticket). Still, that's quite the grind for a filthy casual like me.

EDIT: What do you know, a couple of days changes everything. I've achieved my first full combo on Hard! :toot:
[attach=1]

Best part is that it took only 15 tries on the song (36 total if you include all Hard songs). I'm honestly shocked at how fast I got that.

Post by: Silent Harmony on August 27, 2014, 07:47:23 PM
So it turns out I'm an idiot. I ended up deciding to go after the SR Hayano card, and up until last night I thought I was collecting enough tokens to keep pace towards that goal. It turns out I screwed up my calculations horribly and I was only collecting half of the tokens needed, something I probably would've seen days ago if I actually played the event song instead of hoarding the tokens.

I'm at the point where I'm seriously wondering if the card is worth it. I still need to collect about 1700 tokens in the next 3 days to be safe, and at my rank, LP (41), and skill level that's a lot of songs. It's especially bad when you take into account that I have to work tomorrow, meaning most of the tokens will have to be earned in 2 days.

Do you think it's worth still going after it, or should I just call it an event and use what I have?


In lighter news I've gotten a full combo on Mogyutto "Love" [Hard] 4 times in 5 tries. :toot: The last song I was that consistent on was probably Baybe Maybe Koi no Button [Normal] and even that's debatable.

But getting the event SR is pretty easy. If you waste little LP, you can achieve it by the second last day easily. Also, EX and 4x should be out tomorrow if we're still following Taiwan version.

Also, I went for China Dress Leg Rin. I got another Nozomi SR (Dammit KLab, I don't want your occult meatballs) and this

Thank you. I'm trying to not waste any LP since I realized my mistake 24 hours ago, but I'm still only at a little over 1700 tokens. I admit I had the game crash on me a couple of times and had to take a couple of much needed naps but even then I feel progress is going pretty slow. Right now I'm at 42 LP and am doing 15-15-12-reset (usually "wasting" 1LP/set). If I decide to take a break I do so before resetting so that I can get at least a small song in. It hurts efficiency time-wise but I feel it helps keep burnout away.

Other than continuing to chug Love Gems (I'm holding 31 right now) I don't know what I can do to get the SR in time. Am I missing something obvious? I don't know if I'm ready to take on 25LP songs (I'm still getting used to 8-star HARD) and I'm worried about how many Love Gems I'm using but I don't know what else to do.

Also I don't know how much having an EX version of the song would help since I don't own a single SR or UR Pure (so my team's weak score-wise) and, as I mentioned, am still getting used to 8-star HARD.

You probably should just use your tokens ASAP instead of hoarding them if you want to see your progress towards getting the event SRs....

Or once the Hajimemashite no Happy Tune (Listen To My Heart/SR Hanayo) event hits, you should hoard your tokens and spam the EX provided you have enough stats.

Post by: yuyukos on August 28, 2014, 06:52:41 PM
The EX version of the event song is not worth it unless you can S/S or A combo S score it. The only tips I can give are to play 25/15 LP songs that you can clear without missing notes and to manage your LP and gem usage wisely to minimize wasted LP from rank ups.
If you really like Hanayo or feel unlucky while gambling, events are the way to go, so don't worry about how many gems you're using.
Title: Re: School Idol Festival (Love Live) is now out for iOS/Android in the US!
Post by: Polaris on August 28, 2014, 07:11:55 PM
You only need around 2115 tokens total (47 plays) to get SR Hanayo assuming you can S/S the event song every time. I'm not sure how you calculated that you'll need over 3000 for it?

assuming you can S/S the event song every time.

Given he has no SR Pures, S score might be difficult (I dunno as I haven't played the song to see what the threshold is yet) and I'm sure even the best rhythm gamers screw up a S Combo at least once in a sample of 40+ plays.

Even if you played only on Normal, you'd only need about 2300 tokens total. Just saying that 3000+ is probably a miscalculation.

Even if you played only on Normal, you'd only need about 2300 tokens total. Just saying that 3000+ is probably a miscalculation.

I looked at my numbers and you may be right; I think I simply overcomplicated my calculations and ended up with a crazy result. Oops. :blush:

To be fair, the "3000+" was actually "2900+" assuming nothing but A/A, but even that's off I now know. Back to recalculating.



EDIT: Calculations already done. :blush: New goal is ~2400-2500 tokens to be safe. 2300 is indeed minimum (S/S), but I need ~2400 in the event of non-stop A/A or S/C. Anything worse than that and I may as well stick to Easy (according to these tables at least) (http://decaf.kouhi.me/lovelive/index.php?title=Gameplay#Token_Collecting_Event).
Right now I'm at 2097 and am 20xp from a Rank-Up, so that means I need only about 300 more (~7 sets) before I start grinding Listen to My Heart.



EDIT 2: Kayo-chin!!! :* :* :*
[attach=1]

Also a horrible 10+1 draw once again but I don't care Hanayo is mine! I only have ~200 Tokens left though so I don't think I'm gonna get top-4k unless people literally stop trying.


E3: I forgot to ask, should I bother leveling the skills of my Pure Healers (rares) or should I use my extras to level up my new SR?
Title: Re: School Idol Festival (Love Live) is now out for iOS/Android in the US!

It probably makes the most sense to level your SR as it will provide the biggest boost to your Pure team. Healers become kind of useless once you get used to the songs.
I did level the skill level of the highest stat R card for each stat type though, since those will last the longest depending on your rolls. So I have a level 4 Smile Honoka, level 3 Pure Hanayo, level 4 Cool Eli.

That's what I figured. I admit I use a heal team when trying new songs on hard (and one day EX) but after a small handful of plays even I just switch over.

Don't skill up healers, and don't 10+1 roll until AFTER and event for the guaranteed SR event >_<

Post by: yuyukos on August 30, 2014, 05:18:00 PM
Well, thanks to KLab skipping card sets, we do have guaranteed 10+1 SR right now until the end of the Hanayo event, but this is an exception really. Usually guaranteed 10+1 SR events are usually what fill the time between regular competition events. However, I wouldn't roll it unless you like the cards in this set, two out of the three cards with higher chance are healers.
All I want are some bedtime/animal Nozomis, KLab please :ohdear:.

I never roll outside of a guaranteed SR time so don't worry about that. My roll got a SR Pure Umi (so I have 2 Pure and 2 Smile SR) but the rest were rare. I always thought, though, that the higher chance was for all SR/UR, no? It's only for new cards?

[attach=1]

I've done 3 10+1 draws since I started playing this game and all of them ended up with 10R + 1SR. The only thing I liked was that the 2nd one got me "Nico is Popular" (aka event Nico) and the 1st gave me Smile Rin (one of my top 3 characters). As far as getting my money's worth though I feel ripped off more than anything. ::)

Still haven't got an SR/UR Maki :/ (not doing many draws at all though) but I guess i can't complain about that draw  :3
But still no second Pure R Nozomi either  ::)

Also ranked in 300th, coulda saved 5 loveca but whatevs, worth it enough. (I had 7 level ups from 94 and I think I used 17 loveca).

Edit: hmm, Pure SR Honoka should show as new but she isn't.

Post by: Silent Harmony on September 01, 2014, 03:47:09 PM
Out of curiosity (and boredom) I did a spreadsheet and, assuming I go for it, I'm looking at over 100 songs total (non-event + event) to accumulate the points needed to get the SR. This is assuming I do nothing but 15 LP songs for tokens (16/song) and consistently earn at least an Normal-difficulty A/A on the event song during the 4x. I honestly don't know if I'm going to have the free time to do such a thing even if I wanted to. Then again, if the cutoffs end up similar to Honoka's event, succeeding would also place me only ~2k-2.5k points shy of the top 4000 (scouting ticket). Still, that's quite the grind for a filthy casual like me.

Welp, turns out even someone like me can do it. Final rank 3302. :toot:

I know I probably should've stayed down and gotten the 3 Love Gems, but I just wanted to see how high I could go without spending any more gems.  Also finished top 24k in the event song so I idolized the normal too.

That all said my ticket only got me a Pure R Honoka, but it could've been worse at least. I could've gotten another Nico.  ::)

Funny you should say that, because I had another close call earlier; 1 Good in the middle part. :persona: Actually about 3 out of 4 runs ended within 1 note of a FC.

I have a nasty habit of getting 1-2 goods on songs I know I can FC. For instance, it took 15 tries to get my first FC of "Natsuiro de Egao 1, 2, Jump" and it took something like 20+ tries after that to get a second one. Some songs I'm consistent at, others I choke away time after time.

One thing I find that's helping is finally having the confidence to do dailies on Normal. Soldier Game has no business being rated a 6-star.

I hope to soon be able to do 25LP 9-star songs (Daily Hard and EX songs) but I still feel like I need more practice.

Weee so many updates I could've done but didn't.

Not only did I finally FC Mermaid Fiesta Vol 1, I full-cleared several Hard songs. bringing my total to 6 FC on Hard. I also have a couple FC on Daily Normals as well. I still struggle on the harder songs though; I tried Otomeshiki on Hard and even though I cleared it, I lost 2 tokens in the play. That's after failing to clear Susume->Tomorrow on Hard period. I have so much improvement to do.

I literally got the SR Nozomi with hours to spare which made my day considering I was worried I slacked off to much. Ended up finishing in 6757 place with 12.3k points. I now have an SR in all 3 colors!

Back to the issue of my performances, is there any way to improve on harder songs rather than failing and wasting LP (and possibly Love Gems)? I'm at 49 LP so I really should be looking at doing 25LP songs.

I'd just keep doing them in order until you S Combo each one before moving on to the next. Dunno if it'd really help much though I think it'd be better than moving on to songs that are too hard.

Well, using the power of math (http://www.reddit.com/r/SchoolIdolFestival/comments/2gektn/info_list_of_common_draw_probabilities_how/), it's approximately a 66% chance that you'll get exactly 1 SR during the guaranteed SR period, so it's still within the bounds of probability. :v

Meanwhile Mermaid Festa Vol.1 EX kicked my ass with 15 goods and 5 bads on the second try even with Nozomi and/or Ericchi likely converting a few goods to perfects. A bit beyond me, that one is :ohdear:

Wow, new EX song actually nearly killed me, was lucky that I acidentally used the wrong team which happened to have 2 healers (was in a rush and thought it was a Cool song, UR Kotori and Cop Umi saved me).
Gunna really miss Wonderful Rush EX when it goes :/

Anyway, burned more cash to do rolls I really shouldn't be doing. Got a third Yukata Nozomi then 1 of both the new Kotori and Rin. I was so tired and saw it pop and "oh new cards must roll!" then "ugh why did I even. then today I was dumber and did one last roll and got this Umi
[attach=1]
Really need to try to save my loveca for later on and it's not like I'm actually gunna get my UR Smile Nico now anyway *sigh*


Also love this event song
(http://i.imgur.com/71x2znj.png)


Edit: also also, a team of perfect lockers (well, 8 of 9) is so broken (I'm still garbage though, hah).
[attach=2]
Was cool to see like 6 or 7 of them active at once, even though it's a waste >_>


Edit 2: by god it's ridiculous
[attach=3]
[attach=4]

Anyway, with that out of the way I can work on playing it with my proper team... Which annoyingly still has 3 perfect lockers. Might swap back the new Kotori for the Clover Kayochin but the difference is only 80 points and the Kayochin has a stamina restore ability >_<
Hmm...
Anyway, I think it's possible I could get it legitimately, it's just the 245-280-ish section that could be quite hard for me to get down.

Edit 3: ok yeah, I can do this without the assists, or at least I've done the tricky bits a couple times seperately, just a matter of doing it all together obvs. But yeah, could do this. Loving it too, really is too bad they have to go away :/

Final edit: haha, got it properly.
[attach=5]

Actually isn't as hard as Wonderful Rush' beginning or (for me) Mermaid Festa. Certainly more fun though, I like how busy it is, I guess you could say. And after school NAVIGATORS EX was awesome, not sure if I can afford all the less than A combo plays though i really want to play it a lot more ;_;

Probably actual final edit: thinking about it, it really doesn't count since although i got throught the tricky bits (I'm pretty sure) without assists active, they almost certainly would've saved me elsewhere. Doing it without any I've come really close most tries, that tricky bit stated is now easy but I just slip up elsewhere or I royally screw up that damned long stream swinging back and forth over the 9 members towards the end.
Still though, I know I could get it...

So I'm pretty certain I only spent 20 loveca but with them and 6 level ups I got to just over 30,000 pts, which turned out to be a tad overkill, didn't expect that. Got 13 loveca back from the event though so it doesn't matter too much. Very nearly had to use a loveca to get the 2 from the 30k pts since the game crashed on what would have been my last play of the event song costing me the 45 tokens and the 227-233 points but I had enough lp to do another Ex song putting me to 45 tokens and ending with 0 tokens, 30,180 points.

Only 1 draw this time cause there are no new cards that interest me, just got the new Umi who seems pretty good. And saving my 2 scouting tickets for next time (unless ai don't have to collect them in which case I won't yet, I can't remember if they go to the present box or not).

You get more points from score match, basically you'll get it same timing as regular events, hell maybe even faster

The catch is, the more you play, the higher the chance is that three other people will outscore and thus outpoint you.

How do you guys do this stuff? Back when I played a lot, I could barely manage to the first card. Sadly with school, I can't play this as much as I'm used to. Might be a good thing though, if I hadn't I probably would have burned myself out of it. Having to play several songs 40+ times gets tiring.

Well then, congrats on that, heh.


Currently a bit behind at 22,518 and I estimate 99 plays. Average around 227.45 pts per play so far if my largely guess based math is about right >_> feels like I've done a lot worse so far though with a so many 3rd's mainly from those blasted "______Student" things >:/
Maybe it isn't actually going as bad as it feels *shrug*
I wanted to get her tonight but I've run out of time. Oh well.


Also, played Yuyukos earlier on and a person from my friend list  :3

Ugh, it's just not gunna happen :fail:


Edit: SR Maki get. Finally got one >_>
I believe that was 110 song plays. Could be up to 5 less but I'm just going with the highest guess. 11 loveca and 1 level up so far, from 83->84 lp after 4 loveca.

Well, five plays between 6pm-12:30 my time (+11 hours offset from forum default) I got 2 actual people. Pretty dead. Did like 45 plays between 2pm-4:30 and got very few at all.
But the interesting thing I thoght about that screenshot was I somehow tied scores for second place O_o

1 play right now at around 7:13am, 3 more of them and they all beat my Mogyutto "Love" de Sekkinchu! highscore with my team at 47,842. I would care much if I lost to actual people but serious fuck these damned things.

My smile is at 44,428, event Maki was my 8th Smile SR. Score was about average for me, depends a lot on my two event Nico's and Honoka giving those big bonuses, high score is only around 198,000 though.
Nice to play some actual people again though :v

Well I suppose that isn't exactly true as I have 3 idolised SR's on my Smile team. And I really need to stop editing posts >_>

For me, 65,360 pts,  277 Hard plays (guessing), 1 Easy play. 23 loveca and 3 level ups, 4 at 83 lp, and then like 14 at 84 and 5 at 85 I think.

Could have save 2 of those loveca and just been inside the 1000 mark as I finished with 41 lp left over. Pleased with that though.

New JP promotion is, vote for your favorite idol and choose a gift to give her. It's to decide the idol/theme of the Christmas UR gift for this year.

Tier 2, 25 loveca spent, 65k EP. Wasted 1 because "do you want to play Hard mode" and "do you want to use a loveca to refill" confused me when I was managing lp/exp to rank up, and spent 1 fail spamming to manage lp/exp. So all in all, could've saved 1 of those in the end.
Was worth, got hatter Maki.

Aaaa There's going to be some kind of School Idol Festival High score/Max Combo competition on the mall near us! @w@
(https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/10176268_10152505114136848_3869501863778245377_n.jpg?oh=4c5694e85ac87d9158a70e9e2e3e8e3a&oe=54E7EEDE)

I've learned of this only yesterday as I was passing through the mall and found one of the mall's (megatrade) halls being prepared for tomorrow's event.
It's only a booth part of a convention for gaming, specifically Pinoy Gaming Festival 2014. Booth is located at the center of the hall (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v380/Chococloud/IMG_20141024_212031.jpg~original). Entrance fee is Php120 ($~2.80) each day and runs for two days. It's said to start at 1pm today, 40mins after I post this. [Article here (http://esports.inquirer.net/home/279/pinoy-gaming-festival-2014-comes-to-sm-megamall/)]

I am not sure what we'll do here exactly though as there isn't any available "more info" around, as far as my search was able to get.
-Is the picture saying only one use each of UR & SR, or is that the prize?
-Are we going to use our EN/JP accounts, or pre-set members?

I have not touched LLSIF for a long while save for the daily login, and I'm pretty sure pro's are going to attend the event for this, but I will attend this event just for the heck of LLSIF rhythm gaming! What are the odds I am not maxing out a Hard/Extreme-difficulty song I've not heard of yet? .w.;;

Go and get me/us some free stuff, maybe they'll have promos! I'm still not sure how they're going to distribute the rest of the promos for EN anyway.
The way the advert is written, I think your team can have 1 UR + 1 SR but who knows.

Anyway,there's still tomorrow. I still have time to warm up to the song before I try again.
Score to beat: (score of starred EN person is said to be max combo)

They didn't record it. Not sure if they'll let me try again for free, but I'll try again anyway, pay or no pay.

Unrelated to LL!, to make the most out of my entrance ticket and for even going in this small-ish but maybe big-deal DOTA2 tourney, just on the other side of this booth is a dancing Wii PreCure game competition in which not much are participating. So I kinda danced my frustration for LL! =w=;;

I'm too crap to do Susume->Tomorrow Ex :/ Trying to full combo Wonder Zone Which is proving tricky enough for me as it is. Got the loveca for 120 plays of Wild Stars which was pretty easy for an EX song I felt. And gunna get the 120 loveca for Wonder Zone so if I don't get it that'd be pretty sad >_>

Eight draws and a successful scouting ticket (out of 3) over three days... Holy crap -_- 10 SR's and a UR.
I really wanted the new Maki and Nico idolised and kinda wanted the UR Nozomi but had no expectations to get her.
3 draws and 1 ticket right when the new members came out got 1 of the new Maki. 4 and the other 2 tickets yesterday got my first Nico and second Maki and 1 draw today which finally got me my idolised job suit Nico.

And yesterday the UR was
Pure Kotori... Yes, another one. That's 4 of my 5 UR's being Kotori >______> just levelled her up instead of idolising her for... Some reason iunno why tbh
.


Edit: Oh and the two Umi's got Idolised. so 7 of the 11 were of use.

Post by: Massaca on October 27, 2014, 09:02:41 PM
Yeah, until the event ends. They've done a few in the middle of an event like this. I presume it's to help stay caught up to the Jp dates (just a year behind)  Since the ones they released during events were released earlier on in the Jp version.



Last night reading Job Nico's side story it got a bit confusing.

Title: Just break up!

Is there something you don't understand?
Nico sensei will teach you!
Oh, that's it. It's easy. Umm...

Huh? Oh, because of that... Thing!
That! That's why, um, it's like that.

Oh, I don't know why!
Argh!

...Huh?
Oh, that's right, yeah.
That's what I was saying.

Hmph.
Maybe they should just break up. Just break up!

So I looked it up on the wiki a few moments ago and it was quite different.

What is it that you don't understand? Nico-sensei will teach you! Ah, that. That's simple. Umm...

Huh? Ah, that's... It's that! That! So umm, that's the answer!

Why don't you get it~!? Geez!

Huh...? Ah, that's right. That's what I wanted to say.

 ...H-Hmph! It's fine as long as you understand!!

So what's with the translation there, is it just that it's crappy? Is there much else that isn't too well done?

Klab's translation team is bottom-tier; just see the translation for "perfect lock" and some of the recent perfect locks are even translated as "fortify for 0 seconds" or something along those lines.

That said, that excerpt is worse than anything I've seen so far. What are they even trying to say? :V

These middle of event guaranteed SR period are to catch us up on the initial UR + job SR + pajama/animal SR sets we missed out on due to timing differences.

Well that sucks about the translation :/ Noticed their proof-reading has been a bit poor previously too with wrong names written for the dialogue in main story, typos and most recently them saying the EX songs Oh, Love & Peace and Wonder Zone were ending in December, rather than November. They ended up fixing that one though.

Also, Massaca, cue whale sounds.

Meanwhile, on the SIF competition, the starred players' scores stayed strong in Day 2 as no-one exceeded their scores. I got only 265,915pts with the following team composition, leveled after finishing a few "sub-stories I intently left unfinished for this purposes" as funds for fusing 9000 friendship pts worth of class recruits, including an Alpaca and 3 N-rarity idols.

Well, I know Klab has singapore, japan, us, china, and philippines branches (http://www.klab.com/), and given that "customer support only handles inquiries in English" (http://www.school-fes.klabgames.net/contact/) jp and cn can be ruled out. us can be ruled out because events regularly start at 4 am est or some godforsaken time like that. klab global website would suggest it's done in singapore, but uh, don't people in singapore speak reasonably fluent english, at least moreso than in the philippines?

Well, from the website, KLab Global is based in Singapore. In the About page, they say

"KLab America begins the working process with the conceptualization, planning, and marketing direction for products. With this Western base being a ?melting-pot? of sorts, existent diversity provides for a variety of ideas and models.

The development phase is run by KLab Cyscorpions from the Asian Region. With Japanese management team integrating standards of excellence, KLab Cyscorpions? highly competent and dedicated local staff work tirelessly to release perfect products. From KLab America to KLab Cyscorpions, KLab Global completes the cycle with publishing and market distribution. "

And following the link to Cyscorpions leads to a Phillipines-based company, so, yeah, likely Filipino devs.

31782 pts. Rank 321 with pretty much exactly 3000 above the 1000th spot.
19 loveca, 6 level ups. First level up right when it started it from 85>86 lp. 8 loveca at 86, 6 at 87, 5 at 88.

2 draws. Didn't get my Nico but whilst she would've been alright for my team I'm not too fussed. Got a scond yukata Honoka and then the initial Ericchi who is completely useless to me. Oh well.
Need more loveca for the UR Maki draw coming up. Then it's just UR Nozomi mid Dec and UR Nico beginning of Feb far as I can tell I'll be interested at the moment.

Personally I'm not enjoying this score match that much because
fuck bots
Of 52 Hard plays 19 have had 3 bots, 14 have had 2 bots and 12 have had 1 bot.
So almost two thirds have been bots -_- Just assuming I get bad times.
Also got a third yukata Honoka an hour or two before the last guaranteed SR+ draw ended.

Edit: Wait so you can get cool UR Kayochin even though she's not listed on the scoutable members page?
Huh.
Thinking of trying my luck a few times on the third years draw... if I can get some cards for 25% off.

I gathered that their score is just randomized based on how the score of the first person in the room. That's why you'll occasionally see a leaver and 2 bots have 0 while you win.

Or the opposite (which has also happened for my Smile team which is about 4000 lower than my Cool and Pure.

Guess it's just real good/bad luck. They certainly do make me scratch my head sometimes though. "How many UR's Klab?!"

Anyone have a problem where the app just suddenly pauses and turns the screen off. It's been happening to me quite a bit lately, but it happened like 5 times during the score contest thing. Also, sometimes the game will sometiems fast forward or rewind a little bit and it throws me off.

The powers at KLab clearly don't want me having her >_<

Fuck UR's now... I'll see come Feb >.>

But not really, healing UR's are >_< so considering I missed out on the UR Pure Nozomi and Smile Nico, both score increasers, don't care too much now. Really wanting the Maki for my Smile team though since it's still a bit lacking. A pair of her would be better *Whistles*
Next score up UR's being Umi and Honoka mid-end Jan neither of which I'm too fussed about. And then in April? Yeah not really.
The SR's I don't really want to think about...


Anyway, how does that thing for Cool Nico (and Nozomi coming up with others) work? The whole "Increases Cool points based on Smile points" thing.
If it means her cool stat doesn't do anything then she's worse than all the SR's on my team. Otherwise I'm not sure what it means.


Edit: side note, I had 7 plays in a row with no bots :o Before that streak my total plays with no bots was 16 out of 159. So that was cool.
Editedit: no wait holy crap it was 10 in a row. Awesome.

Ah righteo then. Subbed UR Cool Nico into my team, lv.80 and 500 bond then worked it out at both 0.09x and 0.12x as shown on the wiki. Wasn't a particularly good increase at all between the two different UR leaders, about 300 pts, but certainly not bad like I thought it may be.

Averaged 225.6 points per play on Hard. 106 + the 1 4x play (which was a B combo). Pretty certain I only got 3 or 4 A combos in there, the rest B's and S's. So many B combos -_- So bad.
Edit: Came 19th in the score rankings.
Edit 2: thunderstorm and really humid. Having some trouble sleeping. 2:40 am, good time for two sleepy draws.
First draw 2nd UR Cool Rin, second draw 1st smile Ericchi from the cheerleader set I think. Really wanted two of the xmas Umi but no more loveca left (well, 59 + like 12 side stories to do) but they're reserved for events.

Wow that's some really sucky luck. Most draws in a row before I got a UR was 8 or 10 IIRC. Which also happens to be the two times I tried to brute force a UR. The rest were all in the first 4. (though a few were a couple sets of tries over the event period)
My first, Pure Nico, was on the first or second (of 1 or 2, can't recall)
My two Cool Kotori's were on the 1st and 3rd (together, stopped after third).
First Pure Kotori was on the first
Second Pure Kotori was within 3 (but like the 7th or 8th over a couple days)
Both Cool Kayochin's were on the first and second
Smile Nozomi was on the 8th draw in a row in the 3rd year box
First Cool Rin was within 8-10 draws of 11 IIRC (starting Maki period)
First Smile Maki was on the 3rd or 4th
Second Smile Maki was on the 2nd (of two or three but was like the 18th or 19th during that period)
And the second Cool Rin was on the first. (of 2)

Pretty sure Cool Nico will be super trollish.


Kinda did the math on whether it would be better to idolise Rin (who has score + 780-36%-30 combo) or keep keep her and replace either my event Ericchi (600 score-38%-30 combo) or Leopard Maki (protect 5s-36%-32 icons).
Best off replacing my Maki for now at least. Then I'll see how crappy I do on the EX songs and if adding her back in makes any real difference *shrug*
But that means another 60,000 exp to gather and burn (should get most of the way from stuff in the present box and a couple lv.40 R's and an N in my member list).

Lollipop update when
we updated now, not sure if this fixed EN's lollipop compatibility though.
A lot of the graphical updates were included in this to bring it close to the JP version. So pretty.

Susume->Tomorrow Ex just killed me :/ So hard. Was thinking I might have to drop down to Hard but did another and drew it again, survived with 11 of 36 health left. Kinda lucky. I expect I'll be dying to it more when I get it again >_<
I'm missing Korekara no Someday already :( At least I got Love Novels now.


Also really hoping the next draw to come isn't a BiBi one...

Edit: Printemps draw. Thank you KLab.

Did another 50 stone roll. No UR :(

I got a Nico: I'll teach you though, so at least it was useful. At least they're apperantly giving a free UR if I'm reading that right.

It's a promo UR, so UR level max bond, but SR(?) level stats and R level skill. Will still heavily buff my pure team though since right now it's all r healers. :V

Post by: PX on December 16, 2014, 04:58:50 PM
More like R level stats, it just has 100 levels to increase it instead :V

These things also take forever to level so beware

Post by: Massaca on December 19, 2014, 09:09:54 PM
Had my Nico and maxed her at just over four hours in. Not that she's of any use whatsoever but her ability went off like 50 times each song.
Went from 1->80 with a super success on a 30000 xp practice somehow, Wiki told me it takes 60,000 and super success gives 1.5x so do these promo-like SR/UR's require less xp or something?


I want to break 260,000 on the event song. Need better luck with the abilities. Super easy song though.

And I still get a gleeful surprise each time. Edit above, that's my 5th of that Nico.
I was really considering going for the upcoming Umi and Honoka UR's because scoring + the better UR bonus thing but prolly shouldn't bother with the Honoka now. And now I have to take a scoring SR out of my cool team.
Edit: cashed in my side stories for one last roll, got 1 of the christmas Rin.
So that's all done with then. Will read them all properly later on, gotta catch up on the main stories too.

Edit 2: 5 draws during the 3rd year box. 3 yesterday, 1st got nothing, 2nd got a yukata Ericchi and event reading Ericchi, 3rd got nothing.
Todays two got these:
[attach=1]


Edit 3: wow that huge cutoff sucked. Ranked in at around 1300
[attach=2]

And just missed the 3 loveca at 40,000 :fail: Managed that badly.
[attach=3]

And and I got a higher score in the first time I played the 4x hard song than I did in the 100 plays of the ranked one  ::) by like a bit over 1000.

Oh and 6 level ups with 9 loveca at 96 lp, 1 at 97' 10 at 98 and 6 at 99.

2 draws. 1st, my 9th cooking Umi. 2nd, my 4th initial Eri (the racing one).


Another edit: duno if anyone even cares anymore (or will see because edits but) I used the last of my loveca cash and due to good luck blew through all 10 remaining draws and got...
...
...
4 UR's :o
http://imgur.com/a/TZT85 (one draw missing from in there, it had a new year's Nozomi).
Cool team gets even stronger.
Got 7 scouting tickets, might use those too.

Final edito: 7 tickets and all but the first gave me R's. First one gave me the first event Sheep Kotori. Which I actually needed. Now all I need in event cards is the Bear Honoka and now this Umi :/

Hope you get that Umi  :)

Dunno how much the big players bother with the "Hits" Hard top 10's as there's a pretty huge gap between 1st and 10th on Paradise Live but I just missed out on the 10th spot by 200 pts and still have about 700 bond to build up for the team. Excited for the event after next to see how I can compare ther but by then there'll be yet another scoring Cool UR out so that could change things a bit.

How many SRs?
Title: Re: School Idol Festival (Love Live) is now out for iOS/Android in the US!
Post by: Massaca on January 03, 2015, 10:14:46 AM
Not counting event SR's I think 89 or 90 collected since I sacrificed a Lv.60 reading Umi to level someone else up as I had a Lv.80 Cop Umi and leveled a bunch of skills up. Cooking Umi and Job/Teaching Nico for example are at Lv.4 for their skill, a couple are at Lv.3 and a few at Lv.2.
Have 28 sitting in the present box.

Have done 22 draws on non-guaranteed SR, 4 of them got me all R's.


Edit: oh if anyone wants to send an FR for my Pure Empress Umi or Cool Angel Nozomi my id is 145024050.

Hey Maullar, are you Barkley on here? I got an FF from someone with that name and just related it back to you but wanted to check.


Also whilst I'm here, I'm too crap to FC Binetsu Kara Mystery EX :fail: Up to 36 plays now and the best (good/bad/miss wise) was on the 14th >_<
[attach=1]

The Hard one is so easy then the EX one is so hard. I can do the straight stream on the right perfect but then I can't do the one right after with my left hand and then then I have just about no chance of getting through the sweeping stream of doubles. Fluked it once but had messed up earlier. Haven't even gotten an A rank once.

Maullar is our resident Chaos-Dunker-In-Chief, so I'd guess it's him.

Also holy shit, that EX version. Is this the hardest one yet? Most of it was fine and then I completely dropped the ball with the two note streams and the staircase of doubles.

Yes! Also, Binetsu Kara Mystery EX wrecked me too. I think I survived with just 4 stamina left, and that's only because I had Secret Gift Eli for healing...

That's the usual behavior, yes--what was happening was that I was able to jump right back in, but then it would crash as soon as I started a song. Not good.

I've been in touch with support, and they said that the problem could be a lack of memory. So I cleared out a bunch of storage and started clearing my recent apps more often. Seems to work so far--fingers crossed...
