That's the SR for the current JP Score Match. She's cute, and I'm going to get her.

The good news is that even if you consistently get 3rd or 4th place, you can still get to 25k event points with just efficient use of stamina. Even if you miss a few plays, it shouldn't take more than a handful of loveca.

poo poo. I haven't made myself a JP account yet due to lazy.

Unless you're talking about going for Tier 2. That's never worth it, even for Nico.
I was talking about going for tier 2, but considering my JP account only has 59 LP I don't think I'll go for it. I have done under 6 hours of sleep per night for 10 days the first time I ever tier 2'd (for a Nico card) and you're right, it isn't worth it.

There we go, first SSR. I now have all SR or better Cute and Passion teams, but my Cool team is left in the cold with only Rs.

Now to largely set aside SS until the Maki event is over.

I long for the day I finally cap my level in SIF. I only have 41 LP right now. Sucks to only be able to play 2 songs (3 if I play an easy one) before having to put it down for a few hours.

It's estimated that that account took 7.5-8 million yen in loveca to get to level 1000. That's sixty-something thousand Real American Dollars.

Nice, still waiting for mine and my 8 SRs are scattered across types.

Really starting to wish you could save room layouts, the halloween stuff is nice but I'm not sure I want to dismantle my room and put it back again afterwards.

Datamining seems to have turned up that the upcoming Cinderella Caravan event will feature Syoko/Shouko (:rock:), and shows a few new cards supposedly coming this month:

At 115 LP I sometimes find myself letting it cap anyway because it's such a large span of time that I straight-up forget about the game. At this point I'm just T2ing events and biding my time because 118-119 LP is like the perfect amount to do two 3-song medleys once Medley Festival hits EN.

Unless loveca cost around 5x as much in JP, that estimate seems impossible to me. Even one of the most expensive levels, from rank 999 --> 1000, should take only around 25 loveca (less than $15 USD if loveca cost roughly matches exchange rates), on account of a 408 LP pool.

I can't say I mathed it out myself, but no, loveca aren't appreciably more expensive in JP (they're actually cheaper for us because of the weak yen!), so it's perhaps a gross exaggeration.

I really wish you could just play loveca and buy certain cards. I'd love to get the Halloween Nozomi, but gently caress. In five 50 gem pulls I've managed to only ever get SRs because of the guarantee, so I can only imagine how much it would take to just get a whatever percentage chance that you might get one of several URs on offer.

I say this, and yet I can't stand games that let you buy your way to success. Apparently I've got a bad case of the waifus.

I want to say that it took me at least ten 10+1s to get my first non-welfare UR. Still a 1% chance to pull at all.
Still a bit luckier than a couple of my friends on another forum who had been playing since launch and took at least a year and change each to draw their first UR.

I'm curious if they use the same seed for the RNG when you do a 10 pull. If so, you'd have a more actually random chance by doing one draw at a time.

I believe by law the single draw rate has the have the same percentage as the multi-draw rate (in that the multi-draw has to be just the single draw done multiple times) after the Japanese government cracked down on Mobages a couple of years ago.

As happy as I am to have gotten the Halloween Koume, I think I'm gonna give up on playing SS because of how laggy it is. Even on the lowest setting possible, I still get misses and bads because of lag. Guess I'm sticking to SIF unless they can fix something with it.

Even with timing adjustments? I interpreted 'lowest setting' as note speed, so I'm probably wrong in my understanding of your situation.
What device/OS are you using? Maybe someone else has the same problem.
Sorry to hear it, especially since if you're sticking to ENSIF, I don't think they've fixed the timing issues there yet.

In SS how do you tell the rarity by the icons? Like in sif you can tell that they're UR by the striped border. It's hard telling them apart so I still have Ns on my teams cuz I'm lazy.

normals have a border the same color as their type, rares have a silver border, SRs have a gold border, and SSRs are like even brighter gold or something


see the gold border on the bottom-right and bottom-second-from-the-left, they're SRs, rest are Rs

vvv yeah sorry shoulda made that clearer

Yeah, SRs that I already got two clones of instead of getting brand new SRs.

e: oh wait, you were just using my post as an example, sorry about that.

ee: to add onto what he said, SSR idols have a border color of their corresponding type. This has the unintended effect of making SSR passion idols kind of hard to tell compared to regular SRs.

If you mean in SS, it started two days ago. Play songs of matching type for the day and get tons of easy rares and chances at the event SRs. Pretty good! I've got 6 rares I didn't have yet since it started and the Honoka SR.

Make sure you put your leader as someone with a 5* rank though, even if it has to be a normal. Increases your drop rate and all.
