Welcome to no-sleep for cute cards world...

Really welcome heheh

[Ceris]

I used only 6 now im ranked as 5xx no need to spend 18 at least for now :/ I wanna spend 1 gem each day and maybe 2-3 on last day depending on people

That's good to hear, the 500-600 range isn't super close to the range I'm in, the 200-300, which took 10 love gems to get.

 

Oh, and I did my 4th and 5th attempt of Expert Natsuiro Egao 1, 2, Jump just now. Attempt one was a disaster, I got like 9 goods, 3 bads, and 2 misses. 2nd run I got 3 goods and 1 miss. I can't do that part before the chorus

 

 

And being sleep deprived is normal for me, on average I spend every day with 5-6 hours of sleep. Now that I have 61 LP, I can get that average amount of sleep every night

Got SR Kotori on jp server~ happy

 

[arakura]

Iced, let me know what you think of my ideas, cause I dont know if I'm on or off of what you are looking for. I've been updating my original post as I go, so I wanted to make sure you didnt miss anything.

 

As for the event, I'm just lying low and aiming for top 4k event ranking, SR Honoka, and top 1k score ranking

Aw yes it was really sad for me too no SR 50 gems wasted... But don't lose hope you can get some love gems and do it again I believe! I promised myself not to do a draw till they announce a SR guarantee!

Imagine if this game didn't require LP to play all day.

It wouldn't make any sense; think of LP as girls' stamina. If people would be able to play 24/7, LL:SIF would require some heavy rebalancing and design changes. Without it, the most active players would quickly max out their teams and KLab wouldn't get any revenue, either. LP exist to balance the game and give it a meaning, since there's no fun finishing everything within a few days - most people would get bored after that and possibly even drop the game completely.

 

I have never really followed monstergirl art or games, but I love the idea of an artbook, especially for Love Live. As for suggestions, you're basically looking for monsters that the a said girl form Love Live would work well as? Something like Catgirl Rin, maybe? (Upon further thread inspection, it is clear that you are looking for more traditional monsters/mythical creatures).

Actually, I'm not going for the serious looks, nor entirely traditional settings. I want to follow current trends, therefore I'm not aiming for them to be, or look purely mythological. I know monstergirls is a rather broad term, but for me it's mostly about blending girls with various interesting creatures; some of them might be mythological, others not. Let's not forget about moe, either. Therefore, I'd say that catgirl Rin wouldn't be that much of a monstergirl, since it's too vague (unless you're talking about nekomata or something similiar), but making Kotori a sheepgirl (female satyr?) - along with fur, animal legs and horns - would be something I'm aiming for. To be honest, I nearly forgot about this and so far it seems like the best choice x3

 

Also, that idea for centaur Umi is amazing. Utterly amazing.

It's one of potential ideas. I kind of like it the most, but jorōgumo Umi sounds quite appealing as well.

 

edit: this might be a little unknown as a monster, but what about the Russian Gamayun for Kotori? Or Perhaps the Sirin? I was looking for something relating to birds that would fit Kotori. If you read about the Sirin, they are directly based off of the Greek Sirens, known for their beautiful singing.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamayun

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirin

Perhaps a mermaid would be fitting of Nozomi? It's kind of tragic that KLab has already released mermaid versions, so that might be a bit overdone at this point.

 

What about a Dryad for Hanayo? I have always like the way Dryads hold themselves in the lore I read (if memory serves), and it's kind of quite fitting for her.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dryad

The wikipedia page talks about how they are often overshadowed by greater deities in Greek Lore, and are very shy and beautiful. It'sextremely fitting of Hanayo, especially considering the quietness of Dryads (Hanayo being the member of u's who had the most trouble joining and bringing her voice to the front because of shyness). They also have a distinct Pureness about them. Alternatively, you could do a Naiad, which is a water Nymph, which could be fitting of Koizumi

I find birdlike creatures a bit too much, especially in case of minimal anthropomorphism - it would look funny to say the least, other than that it's rather hard to meaningfully combine birdlike features with humanoid bodies.

 

I thought about mermaids already. It's one of the possibilities, tho I can't imagine Nozomi in that form. While half human - half fish concepts remain completely traditional, I was thinking more of amphibian creatures in general - very long tails, interdigital webbing, external gills etc. Not sure, if I could somehow bind it with one of the girls, but I haven't covered them all yet. I'm really hyped for this as well.

 

Drayds are mythological creatures, which are often linked to various plantlike creatures in general; I think alraune would be more interesting, tho I'm not sure yet which girl besides Kotori could fit that idea. Perhaps Hanayo? The only problem is that she likes to eat a lot and has a preety voluptuous body; I wanted to make use of these traits.

Nozomi's breast rubs are a classic

[Nosebleed]

>Greatest run ever

>No good skills activate

 

YASM.

Seriously

[xisashi_e]

I wouldn't go for top 1000 in my first event when starting during the event, too hard with so little LP. I like trying now, since a full recharge let's me play 2 25LP songs and Snow Halation on hard.

coz i start my acc in jpn, i'm just keep my points to last 2 days for play event song since my team weak when just start, i failed about 100LP for challange those expert songs XD and about 200LP coz going out didnt play SIF outside. I calculate wrongly a bit on rank2 to rank12, after tat, i just realized manage to using all LP as possible before lv up would be an advantage.

 

from 21th to current, i get 2374 event pts collected and 1905pts for more event songs.

 

If i know how to manage as ealier as possible, and also use all LP well, i will be at least 2700pts event pts and 2230 pts for event songs.  

 

If i play all hard and average get S score no combo S rank, i should be 13039 pts or 12690 pts for playing average B rank combo normal S score. Its need a bit luck to gather all right atttrib to get urself full R team for S rank score hard mode before 1~2days event end, or u easily done with s score and get b rank combo at least before event ends.These calculated using 4 and half days event and not include after lv up LP from all event songs plays yet . If event last for 10 days, u can calculate how much event points u had at last.

 

Anyway,its only applied when  some knowledge and calculation needed for a newbie before starting to plays and only for player who start play when event start.

[Ceris]

Uhhh the one time I hit the part before the chorus in 1, 2, Jump, I sucked the rest of the song (Did get my first A combo though)

I just find it too stressful to worry about the event just starting out. When I started playing, the Kotori event was going on and I was still getting used to the game (I failed Sweet&Sweet Holiday on Hard like 15-20 times)

I highly disagree. You aren't the much younger than me to be unfamiliar with gaming models in the past.

 

You forget that online games used to be monthly pay, and before that, online games were mostly free. There were no in game purchases and as long as you paid your monthly you could play for unlimited amounts of time. Video games didn't get boring because people were allowed to play extended amounts of time. I remember trying to achieve grand marshal in WoW for months, by grinding the same CTF map probably 16-18 hours a day, and trying to beat my friends' Tony Hawk Pro Skater record for years.

 

There's another reason at play for LP and and in game purchases. In fact, I'd argue that the frustration of having to wait in between plays has got me less enthusiastic about it because in order to compete in any decent way, I'd always have to be sure I'm on top of my LP guage when it fills. And I don't want to think about it when I turn it off.

 

Anyway, my point was a hyperbole towards Ezeefreak's addiction and not meant for deep in game mechanic analysis .

[Nosebleed]

And just as I made that last post, here's a present for arakura

 

May you enjoy standing below me again 

 

[phoenixfyre2552]

Oh. Looks like we have a new player with us. Yeah, I remember that a few ten posts back (was it?) someone actually uninstalled this game because of how addictive it was . This game can make you be so addicted that you even plan your day as much as you can to not waste lp (points at self).... But it's fun, and a nice relief from doing whatever it is you need to do in real life (don't know about you guys).

At least the way the Lp gaining system is planned gives 5 hours for rest ( for those who gain 50 lp already and potentially more hours to rest).

I remember seeing that nozomi card in decaf kouhi. That is soooo fitting for her...

[maki~chan]

I think this game wouldn't be so much fun and addicting if there wasn't lp stuff

To be able to play you need to wait, love gems would be only for scouting it is not that fun... we do maths and use 1-2 gems each time events are funnier liks this too

Sorry about my nonsense weird sentences haha I wanted to say: I agree with Nosebleed I like the lp idea of this game

my jpn still as my eng, pure kingdom... i'm lucky to have powerful team max lv when last 1~2 days, i can get hard S score with no combo , but i think its hard max lv out, coz i miscalculate i should lv up all pure 1st than lv up other attrib. If no enough storng team and weak skill, juz stick on normal mode, its easily get s rank/a rank combo with s rank score, this wat i done in eng kotori event due to my sucks skill, more effiecient than push urself to play hard mode and get lesser points with worse result.

To each their own . I'm just letting you know that games have successfully worked without LP in the past and were extremely popular for a long time.

 

LP and in game purchases is probably what your generation is accustomed to as fun. In practice, all it is, is just a different business model.

If there r no LP system, i will dizzy to play anymore, since currently i done small mistaken let me no fc even 100 times play becoz of playing same songs too much and bored. I'm easier to focus if i can change different songs. No LP system, i may give up this game since get bored X10 times. @@

Agreed with ur points too, but its applied on mmorpg, LP system may sucks if going on mmorpg... monthly payment should better and less grinding. But for SIF this kind of game, LP system will be a points, i think. Its different game type.

If the game didn't revolve around LP, it would be refocused to work on the competitiveness against other players. Granted more songs would be available.  C'mon guys, are you telling me that point system games in the past work in the past without LP? Competitive gaming in the past were all about fun without decking out money. People spent hours upon hours playing.

MMORPGs are entering the free to play method now. I don't know how badly that sucks or not since I haven't played one in a long time but they seemed to still be insanely popular. 

 

I personally feel like I'm playing guitar hero back in the days again when I'm playing this. In order for SIF to work without LP, it would need more songs though. LP gives them leeway to release songs very slowly since there's only 1 group of artists lol.

[Ceris]

The microtransaction model is superior than monthly subscription in this type of game IMO. I'm having trouble getting my words into thoughts though. The way the game events run and stuff, you'd have to change vast amounts of the game to match unlimited playing.

 

 

If you want to compare to Guitar Hero, GH was a game of repetition until perfection, this game doesn't focus on that, but instead on number of plays over time.

MMO'S were never free in the past. If anything, they were B2P and you had to pay a monthly fee as well; F2P is a modern trend, coined in early 2000's. To be honest, LL:SIF is only fun because we're not able to play it all the time; if we'd be able to, we would throw our smartphones and tablets away into the corner after a week or two. That's how most mobile games work nowadays. Don't forget that LP's main purpose of existence is to actually provide an impassable wall, which requires p2w methods in order to be negated; Klab devs also have to make a living and pay licensing fees. Competition? Don't make me laugh, as there's no such thing in LL:SIF; it's just an online scoreboard, that doesn't say anything about the skills of players.

Don't even make me start an offtopic about mmorpg's, otherwise I'll preety much bust any myth you'll throw at me. It's enough I've spent the last two years trying to tell people how horrible TERA's business model was. The rest is a matter of personal preferences.

 

And I'd rather leave it at that. What matters is that LL:SIF is fun, nevertheless of P2W aspects.

[Yeokso]

I can definitely see crunchy's point in this. I personally would also prefer a system that doesn't involve microtransactions and instead focuses entirely on the player's skill level. Like DJ Max, Guitar Hero, Stepmania, DDR, Beatmania and so on, except it's online. No need to worry about spending a dime and you can have fun enjoying the game both casually and competitively.

But ~ They gotta earn money somehow, and unless they're charging the whole game at a base price (which doesn't really work on a game that consistently receives updates), I don't see how spending money on cosmetics or other stuff that doesn't involve making you getting a better score would work on LLSIF - decorating cards isn't a thing (yet). Or am I underestimating what people will spend on regardless of its usefulness.

Lol you are seriously bringing down your ego after you nitpicked a phrase I made a hypberole at Eezeefreak, and you're decrying off topic? *Shake my head*

 

Apparently you only read the part I said about MMO's - by which I never said MMO's themselves were free. They weren't even the focus of my discussion. But go and continue ranting your knowledge on MMORPGs, since this seems like about proving your ego than a point . Don't twist my words though to fit your argument (Kids are always boiling to be right.) I was going to say I didn't want to take this OT anymore anyway and let you guys continue your SIF talk.
