I still haven't spent any diamonds on the event yet. But what's funny is I've gotten the event song on JP score match a few times already, so I already have a bit of practice ^^
"Oh hey, I'm only about 200 points away from the normal card. Surely one more playthrough of the event song will take care of that."

Cue end of song tally... 7 points away. Out of LP and diamonds.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-
Hate when this happens. Happens to me every single event. Still makes me laugh when it happens though.

I have been completely confounded by the event song. At least that bit at the end, can't figure it out for the life of me.
Let me guess, it's the double note section at the end, right?

Yeah, that part gave me trouble although, oddly enough, I FC'd it my second try and then had difficulties the next five or so times. Eventually, it will just become second-nature and your fingers will move to the notes with ease. At least, it did for me.

But yeah, maybe try watching the above video over and over, and attempting the pattern/rhythm by tapping your fingers to the beat. Once you get that part down, it's extremely easy to FC.

Also, only 700 points away from my SR Eli. I will have her tonight!

So I have a new favorite N card:

I fear idolizing her when the time comes.

I think I got all the new songs in the Expert pool

-Kimi no Kuse ni
-Loveless World (It came back!)
-Natsuiro Egao de 1, 2, Jump!
-Listen to My Heart
-Cutie Panther

Much better than the last pool, mostly because I don't need to keep getting Bokura no live every other song.

Yeah, it's a weird song. If I actually try to watch the order of the notes I get a lot of "goods" and even "miss". But if I let the fingers do all the job I manage to do it perfectly.

Creepy.

Hadn't really had much time to play yesterday... knocked down to 122 for event points. Gotta kick it up a bit today.

Down to 185 in the song ranking ;_;

I have no clue how I haven't been knocked down much from where I was. Well, relatively. 23 is still a far cry from the 9 I managed to grab the first day. =p What kills me is that each time I manage to squeak out a few extra points, it's with something stupid like 15 greats. If I get 0 greats, nope, I'm -always- down about 2-3k. Hate you RNG!

Ditto. If I even think about the notes for a split second there, NOPE, c-c-c-c-combo breaker! For me it came down to practicing EXs and eventually just kind of building muscle memory for that -type- of pattern.

The wrist pain is real, won't be able to grind properly today. This Eli event seems pretty competitive too so far

all the love live magazine covers in my local bookshop are right next to the anime porno mags. it's very disquieting

I guess Love Live belongs in the H section.

Yeah I can't really play right now. Although this is nothing compared to playing on the vita. Uhh that shit was the worst until I got that trigger grip for it.

They just want to use you! Although I would do the same. :p

Also Eli event seems pretty relax. I'm still in the top 10, and if I burn all my diamonds I could jump up quite a few ranks.

Yeah, tbh I was expecting a stronger run too. So many days left though. =/

Takemiya Jin, the one active yuri author I follow has joined the bandwagon and did a Love Live book. It really has crossed over.
 
So, apologies if this is answered somewhere I overlooked, but I just hit 50 love gems on the Japanese version. I notice there are two different pages that I can do the 10+1 draw from. What's the difference between them, and should I draw now, or is there not a guaranteed SR at the moment?

During events, they have special draws that only have certain cards. Right now it is only first year students, and tomorrow it will only have Cool cards.

Helpful if you're trying to get a certain card, but there is no guaranteed SR for these draws.


Everyone ships for Love Live, even µ's themselves.
I just find it funny that a semi-serious LGBT writer has her own ships, to the point where she is putting out a book for it.

To my knowledge right now is NOT a guaranteed SR draw. The first box is the normal 11 draw and the second is cool only at the moment.

From August 6 until the end of the event, there will be special premium recruitment boxes

Group #1: August 6 to 8 - first year students only (Rin, Maki, Hanayo)
Group #2: August 9 to 11 - COOL cards only
Group #3: August 12 until the end of the event - ???

Thanks for the answers, guess I'll wait and see if the last special draw of the event interests me, and if not, wait for a guaranteed SR event.
 
Hah, I'm 203 in the Event ranking and 218 in the song ranking. The Event rank obviously won't hold, I just need to grind it out enough that I can stay in the top 1000 before Monday. I could easily break top 200 in the song ranking IF I COULD JUST ****ING FC THE DAMN EVENT SONG.

So I started playing the JP version just 4 days ago and this sums up my feelings about jumping into the JP version pretty well...

Wish I could get 100 loveca every 4 days on the EN version...

---

Along that note, the JP version does guaranteed SRs after events, too, right? So the next guaranteed SR event would be after the event ends on the 15th? Probably gonna save up and do 2-3 11 pulls then.

My Cool team is horrible, so I can only manage around 17500 points for the Event Song Ranking. That's with a FC and about...25 Good hits. ~_~

Oh well. I guess I'll be happy with the 1-2 Loveca I get from it.

Between the bonus loveca and the support draws with 80%/20% SR/UR rates... am I the only one who thinks they are getting a little desperate with the JP version? I wonder if they're seeing IAP rates dropping or if they know they're near the end of the line content wise or what.

The fact that they dropped the level requirements is probably more of a sign than anything else... but I actually don't know how many songs are in the Love Live catalog.

That's probably half a year of songs? They need new ones for events, but then they also need to dump songs onto the B-sides section as well...

Heh that surprised me. I didn't know you read yuri. I'm going to check out her work now.

Actually feels good not bothering with this event. Like the shackles have fallen off.

Yeah I felt the same way when I didn't bother with Nico's event.
 
It is the bane of my existence

Well okay most EX songs I have trouble with cause I'm bad at videogames but Loveless World in particular is live or die (mostly die)

If you ask in animegaf, I read real yuri while SDBurton reads fake yuri. lol
But yes, I have a dynasty scans account to say the least!

The solo songs would be event songs then added later

I'm sure they will figure something out, there is also a new event type to be added
Oh right, I forgot that they're adding a new type. I wonder if they'll use that to replay old songs and stretch out the catalog.

redhairedking wanted to let you guys know that he is still playing the game, even though he's going to be off GAF for a while.

Got 99 problems and only one of them is a waifu
Wasted 2 hours of LP because an older lady decided to turn into a gas station right away instead of waiting for me to pass like a normal person. The engine is fucked. RIP my car.

I'm more annoyed of wasting LP during an Eli event tho tbh

Haha, idols are serious business after all.

Edit: I was totally drunk, and misinterpreted what you said. Sorry about your car, and hope you are alright.

Nun is love, nun is life.

I don't get it. Why is Nun love/life?

I got me a Nico! Good for me!

More importantly, I finally have an SR card for every member now!

Congratulations! Even if it is Nico.
