ChubbyThePhat posted:Wow. I should save up my love gems to do a bulk pull like this. One at a time just seems to posh now. Never ever solo scout when using love gems. You always get a bonus card for scouting in bulk so 50 gems gets you 11 cards instead of 10. And between events you are guaranteed at least 1 SR with the 10+1 scout. Turning a 9% chance into a 100% chance is pretty good.

Commander Quack posted:How many loveca does it take to at least T2 anyways? Particularly JP version. 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.

I actually think it's neat to watch the progression of Aquors as it's happening instead of reading about it years later. Muse was built in part by audience participation. I'm sure their second single will have a vote for center just like Snow Halation. There will probably be subgroups formed from voting later on. And I'm curious to see if they can make lightning strike twice or if this new group will fall flat.

Unfortunately it's either on speaker so I can hear people walking up to my desk to ask for stuff or I have headphones in and can't hear them so they come see what I'm doing. The judgement is real but this game isn't gonna play itself. I'm debating whether going for Vocaloid Maki in the current JP event is worth this kind of commitment. Also the annoying prospects of averaging 3rd place in score match to the mass of japanese accounts with better teams than me.

John McClane posted:so is it possible to get rin if I'm literally not good enough to beat hard mode without burning a love gem Playing lower difficulty songs just means that you have a smaller LP cushion, but it's not so bad that it's impossible. A token event song at Normal difficulty with an S score, S combo nets the same amount of points per token as Hard A score, B combo. And it's a lot easier to pull off. The real hurdle is needing to play the same song so many more times. You'll probably start hearing "rin, rin, rin" in your sleep.

ChubbyThePhat posted:My teams must be so weak. I play hard songs for the event and just get rekt. I can FC a song and still get third by like 9k points. I know I don't have the best girls yet but jesus lol I was about to make an effort post explaining how score match works, but it's much easier to just link a video of it that will explain better than I could. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJk_FKvsWgA Basically, you'll be matched based on the scores of your last 4 songs played on that difficulty against opponents within a range of -20% to +20% of your average scores. So you can sometimes be matched up against 3 other people that you will have no hope of beating. And sometimes you're matched up against 3 people that have no hope of beating you. Don't worry too much about placement until you have a team of every attribute that can S rank score the songs on the difficulty you want to play. That's pretty much the best thing you can have for any event. I think I just ended up writing an effort post even after linking the video.

The unidolized cyber Nico and Honoka URs are 2 of my favorite cards in the game. It's too bad the SRs are just the rest of the girls in their school uniforms doing nothing interesting. Not sure if I'll burn my gems on the job or cyber set on EN next year.

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:I dunno how people get SRs without stoning. I was like 7.5k off from Steampunk Eli. For score match you need to average 2500 points a day. So 11-12 Hard songs a day if you can S rank the score. With a 60 LP bar if you play once in the morning, once midday(after work/school, lunch break, "smoke" break, extended piss break, etc.), and once before you go to bed that should be enough to get any event SR. I cheat the midday one a lot by playing EX songs even though I'm really bad at them and lose out on event points. It's just faster to play 2 songs instead of 4. There is also a cushion in this schedule from level ups. The hardest part is getting to 60 LP in the first place. Having a small LP bar is the root of most event difficulties. After that it's a matter of wanting to play that much or not. For medley festivals LP cost for playing songs is reduced by 20% and you can spend gold to increase your event points gained by 10%. Also random boosts from your friends list. I'm not doing the math for that but it makes it a lot easier to get the SR. The next JP event features the tsundere love duet from NicoMaki. Too bad the token events no longer come with a story.

It fills up 11 hearts as you would expect from 10+1. It loops around once and gives you a ticket plus one extra heart from your last position.

The score boost is enough to bump a team that normally B or A ranks into S rank easily. That plus the event point boost really make a big difference. Everything else is nice to have but not neccessary.

Great, my phone updated this morning and now SIF has big framerate dropping. Not just during songs. I even notice it on scouting and leveling up. It doesn't affect the timing so I can just play songs by ear. The problem is that when a song desyncs and I can't play it by ear, I also now can't play it by eye. Gross.

The SIF update on JP is pretty cool. No more wasted LP on level up. Now the extra gets added and you go above your max until it's spent. Also, when your scouting box is full, you no longer need to clear out at least 1 idol to play songs. EDIT: I use qooapp and just open it up, find SIF and hit update. Haven't had any problems with it. And yes it's version 3.1. http://apk.qoo-app.com Trihugger fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Dec 3, 2015 |

The level of your normal cards seems to scale somewhat with the number of songs you choose to play at once. I've never seen below a level 3 card when selecting 3 songs. Whether they come from silver or bronze rewards doesn't seem to have any influence on their level that I've seen. But I also haven't paid attention since this doesn't really matter much.

ChubbyThePhat posted:Alright time to burn through G like nobody's business. How many event points are required for the Maki from Medley? Same as Score Match, 25k. But it's a bit easier to get there by spending some gold. The bonus for S combo is a 1.08 multiplier while the bonus you can buy with gold is a 1.10 multiplier. You can get a MedFes card flailing around with no combo Expert songs and get to 25k faster than FC'ing every song on Hard in a Score Match.

Oh yeah, didn't mention I was talking about 3 Expert songs at once. Though it looks like it's true for 2 Expert songs at S rank, as well. The amount of event points per song is probably not that different than Score Match, but the major difference is that MedFes has a 20% LP discount. So 3 LP off for Hard and 5 off for Expert. That boosts Expert's LP to Event points ratio up quite a bit. Then add in that you can buy a score boost that turns a team only capable of B ranking Expert into a team that can A or even S rank and there isn't much reason not to play it.

Mahoutsukai is the event song. I like the part where Nico sings "nico" and the other part where she sings "nico." I might actually go for tier 2 in a token event since there are 4 EX songs rotating in and an EX event song I can actually FC. Very tempting.

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:Called MegaBox and I apparently have to buy one ticket for each day. The biggest difference performance wise of each day has been that during the second portion of the live, they perform subunit songs on the first day and solo/duo songs during the second day. Only a handful of songs by the whole group are different from day 1 and 2. So that's something to consider if you only have the cash to buy one day. Of course they could mix it up and do something different for the final live.

Speaking of JP SIF, I've only spent 1 loveca this event and I'm not only keeping pace with tier 2, but actually climbing in ranks without needing to spend more. Last event I was sitting in tier 4 with the same spending. People are being really tight with their loveca. This might be the easiest event ever to reach tier 2. Certainly it'll be the easiest Nico event to tier for ever.

Looking at the setlist of the first night of the Final Live, they seem to have picked one past fan favorite for each the sub-units to perform. It's probably asking too much for them to perform Glass no Hanazono on the second night. I heard some people got upset that it was too gay or something when they performed it a couple years ago, but it is one of the best duet performances. Plus if NanjoIno can only perform a limited number of songs, people probably want to see a Soldier Game group performance instead.
