I wouldn't unless I was really jonesing for one of those cards. I think stats-wise they're worse than recent entries, too.

Also what's with the short event times? I didn't notice it until I realized that Wonder Zone is still going to be up by the time the event's over.

Yeah, the animal SRs, while cute, are the weakest SRs. Go for it only if you already have some of the featured cards and are looking to idolize.

Short events are a side effect of KLab not wanting to work on weekends, I think. Oh, Singapore.

How often does Klab bump the numbers up for the tiers? I feel like we've been on 900/4500 for a while now.

Getting my idolized girls up to 60 takes so long, yikes. Given I've only been playing a couple of weeks, so I assume I have far less random girls to feed to level ups than I will in the future.

I don't think there's any need to expand the tiers right now? We haven't gotten another hellhole like the Christmas Umi last year, anyway.

God dammit. I wish I'd known. I've been saving up my gems and was really hoping to get the Nozomi UR.

I got this instead.



Since this is my only SR and my strongest card she's on every loving team. The effect goes off all the god drat time, which is cool, but I have to deal with THAT sliding across my screen at regular intervals.

You can turn that off, you know. It's generally recommended. Settings -> Love Show -> Pop-ups off

Played code and signboard trade broker for my friends at the movie showing tonight and then donated a Maki code to a lucky recipient when the front desk ran out of them. The movie was great!




E: I enjoy Starlight Stage with full 3D and all effects on, turning my phone into a cooking surface and blinding me from the now-stuttering chart that my now-sweaty thumbs are trying to hit. Distraction has become part of the adventure for me!

Yeah, I turned it off when my promotional UR Eli kept popping with her big water effect which made seeing notes really hard.

New Starlight Stage event (also new furniture)

Play normal songs to get usable points to play the special song with (and event points) to get more event points, win prizes. Pretty straightforward.

e: There's also additional communication event(s) with star jewel rewards for playing with Uzuki/Miho/Nana, if you have them actually I guess they happen regardless

Yeah, I was at around 56,000 when I had a quick play earlier today but I'm down to 144,000 now, I think I just got in before a lot of people started. Have to see if I can make any headway later on.

Last update for me put me at ~45k ranking. I was at like 133k this morning. I am not using my stamina drinks just yet. Probably gonna save those for a Kanako/Anzu/Miku event or something.

You haven't 'used' them by receiving them, if you check in your items (アイテム under メニュー) you'll find them all there. Hearts are used for the low-tier gachas.

In SIF, does anyone else have the problem where sometimes the game kind of stutters and then resets itself a second or so back, causing you to miss notes? I had this happen on Yuuki no Reason expert, right at the part where there a like 5 double star notes, to immediately fail. I'm on a Nexus 6, so I wouldn't think the phone should be having any issues.

I get that from time to time but haven't had it happen recently. I think it's lag from a bad connection but don't quote me on that.

Being that I'm total trash, I ended up staying up till 2am last night trying to get that loving Umi card from the event.

I got the loving Umi card for a grand total of two SRs, but now I'm chugging cheap lovely coffee and trying to stay awake through some sort of meeting or another.

I did that for the last nico event so I could stay in tier 1

This used to happen to me in sif and pad and it was when I dropped a bar of signal in 3g/4g and on wifi. It stopped one day for no reason, no updates or anything.

A friend of mine started playing over the summer, and every token event I see him leaping up from T5 or so trying to T2 on the last day. Every day after I tell him to not grind it out on the last day. And the next month he's back at it again.

Dude went from 13k at 12:30 CST to rank 4402 at the end of the event. Even when I was his rank I'd never cut it that close, especially with the cutoffs being this low.

It varies depending on the SR, but I think I recall someone calculating that it takes a net of somewhere between 3 and 9ish, generally. That is, something more than that, but you get some back as rewards. It's the time rather than the loveca that keeps me from doing it.

It is entirely dependent on how much lp you have. Someone with 75 lp can get 150 lp in 2 love gems vs someone with 50 lp needing 3 love gems. It took me 19 the first time I went for t2, but I overshot a lot and probably could have done it in 17. That was with an account around level 50 on the English version.

On JP it takes significantly less love gems until level 100 due to half the exp requirement for leveling. In fact, a brand new account can hit t2 with under 10 love gems. The scores to tier are generally higher though so once you hit level 100 it's a lot tougher.

Ah, I pretty much only play the JP version, and am rank 108, so 79 LP. There hasn't really been an idolized SR that I'm super into yet to go for it, though. The last event Rin was pretty underwhelming, and that's who I had been waiting for.

I saw some writing from someone what said that that Rin was like, the second time they gave her an unidolized event SR or something that was lazily "oh here she is in her school uniform". That's unfortunate. :c
