Pretty much just "can I make it record" and "has this not been beaten to death". A lot of these will probably be in video format to some degree.

Yup. That's what ended up happening for me. I got two poppers next to each other on my winning try. I've long given up on three starring courses for gems, now I'm just like, "Gimme Minako so I can never come here again! :catstare:"

I might go back to course 1 to redo it, but course 2 onwards is a pain and really not worth the effort to redo. Some of the 3* boundaries are irritatingly high.

So when I first discovered sailor moon drops and installed it, I was in sweden visiting my fiance. I returned to america yesterday, and during the long car ride home decided to putter with the game for a couple to pass the time while my parents talked about politics.

"User authentication failed. Data will be deleted." it told me, or something very similar. Sure enough, it deleted my save. I dunno why it felt the need to take a big poo poo on me on a day I was already feeling miserable. gently caress that game.

I'm fairly certain a lot of these mobile games don't like you going to other countries.

For those who have her on the Japanese version, is Vampire Haruka worth boosting to 5? I'm not entirely sold on her "random power" ability so I'm hoping it's worth boosting to max level. Otherwise I'll just keep her at a max of 3 and not think twice about it.

Eh, it's worth trying to complete the five courses, but I don't think she's worth levelling up to 5. As far as Haruka goes, Uranus' special move is far more powerful & her Mugen Academy form is the one you unlock in the S Map storyline.

So you don't actually get her as Sailor Uranus in the S map? Her civilian form is unlockable through regular play? That's just kinda funky.

Anyway noticed the UI updated too, guess that means we're potentially getting the Crown Game Center portion of the game soon?

Wait vampire Haruka? I never watched sailor moon, so I don't know much about it, but what's the story behind THAT? Halloween outfit, or actually turning into a vampire?

The S Map is one long cavalcade of questionable decisions. I recently noticed that it's not even in the correct chronological order - Chibiusa returns AFTER Sailor Moon gets the Holy Grail.

It took quite a while for the Crown Game Center minigame to open, but the English version may get it sooner since (hopefully) they'll just use the already completed programming. The minigame was a crash-happy mess in the beginning.

Just finally beat 3-7 which was absolutely killing me. Could not do it without a paint-stripe combo. :negative:

Also on Reddit someone posted some gallieries of character icons pulled from the game data, including spoilers (for us Americans) on the S map.

As good as this comment is, it doesn't actually answer my question. Did they decided to just have a version of Haruka in a vampire outfit to celebrate halloween, and it was never a thing in the show? I don't know why, but I need to know this!

Not in the anime series or the manga, but it was in several of the musicals.

Which were completely insane in their own special way.

The outfit might also be a nod towards Haruka wearing Tuxedo Mask's costume once or twice.

Hope Drops isn't going to have a problem with me taking a trip from Canada -> US. I would be terribly annoyed if a simple same-continent trip caused all my Drops data to be deleted.

Edit: Haruka get! Wonder if I should avoid taking the chance and just leave my tablet at home, since I already have Haruka.

I'm super annoyed about the level block on Haruka unless you beat all five courses. It's not like her special is all that great, but it seems like such a dick move to make you do all the extra crap just to be able to level her to max. I have no idea why not finishing all five courses is such a big deal - just give me my character and let me move on. I guess forcing you to do harder and harder levels might make you want to buy gems if you get desperate enough.

I have one stage left on course 5 and I'm finished with this crap, thankfully. But whoever invented those self-replicating enemies? I would love to beat the ever loving bejeebers out of them and then make them play their stupid level over and over again for all eternity while sitting in a chair made of white hot needles. :argh:

(I swear I don't have rage issues! :shobon: I just had to play that thing over and over again for two days.)

I'm grateful for all the new characters, but the events seem to be spamming in such a way that I have no time to play the actual game. I wonder if that's so they don't run out of stages too quickly?

If you haven't caught up with Dark Kingdom or Black Moon the number of events can be a bit daunting, I agree. The Black Moon updates only give 15 levels at a time and they're coming every two weeks (ish) so if you're caught up it's not so bad. This is opposed to Dark Kingdom updates when we'd get 30 new levels every time.

Right now I've got nothing to do because I got lv5 Haruka (and I am not three starring those BS levels for gems), I'm waiting on Black Moon levels and this weekend I finally cleared out the last wallpaper piece on Dark Kingdom. I'm just making sure all my friends get hearts.

I did 3* on courses 1 and 2, giving up on 3 after way too many attempts. So now I'm actually going to catch up on Dark Kingdom.

Haruka 3-7 is what held me up for about three days. Just finished course five and now it's back to beating my head against Black Moon 79 (which I've gone through at least 25 goddamn hearts on).
